Now this one no one should mistake for a mail slot--a squished lemon maybe but not a mail slot! Thanks so much, Mimi! :-))) Thanks Pat, love this one. I hope you get that straightened out, Katie--and I hope no one is taking your mail. As for you, Lela, I have the feeling that your mistaking every last thing with a slot in it for a mail box is the cause of your difficulties...just sayin'....... Thanks, Mandy--that club had one of the largest memberships, I think! :-))) This is fun, thanks Pat... I'm in the wish I was thinner club too ;~(I don't have missing mail problems thankfully :~) I have found that my mail frequently goes missing round here........ What a pain Pat! I found out today that my retirement system had placed a hold on all the new accounts and the ID cards were released on the 20th. Don't know why they didn't know that when I called them back on the 5th. But I got my member and group numbers so at least I have the necessary info in case I need my doctor before I get the cards. But several other people on my block have had ongoing issues with mail too. I finally got a call this afternoon from the postmaster's office and they will look into the problems. I also missed my most recent bank statement - that's REALLY troubling. When I first got my Medicare card and the AARP supplemental card (which uses the info from the Social Security system as well) in 2011, they came under my maiden name, which I hadn't used since the day I got married 43 years before that! All my earnings were reported under my married named; the Soc. Sec. and income taxes were filed the same way; my license, etc., were all correct--but for some reason, way back in 1968, someone had started to change my name to the married one, then re-did it, and no one could tell me why! But because someone made that mistake, they wanted me to prove that I was married! I refused to come in with a certificate, and told them to check Social Security, where I was having no trouble getting wife's benefits--so apparently SOMEONE there knew I was married! It took about 2 months to get it straightened out, and it was a pain in doctor's offices and with prescriptions, where my on-file name didn't match the cards, of course! Good luck! :-))) Hi Pat, I could use some magic potion too! Why, oh why, is that belly fat so hard to reduce?! On the other hand, maybe THIS is where so much of my mail has been disappearing to lately. I'll be calling my new health insurance co. this afternoon to request a 3rd set of ID cards be sent. I plan to ask if they can use Fed Ex since the PO can't seem to get them delivered. I think it's time to alert my retirement system too. I wish I had a magic potion that would work on me, too! My arms and legs are fine, but I look about 5-6 months pregnant--which is not a great look for a 66-year old! LOL!I did forget to warn about the mail, but I guess I assumed that a solid yellow center wouldn't look open to anyone, but would look, well, solid...... Or perhaps like a reptilian eye, which doesn't usually evoke a desire to post letters through it.......I hope!Thanks so much, Edie, Barb, Ardy, Lela (sigh...), Jan, and Robbie! :-))) Yes and I am close behind at 3.03!! Silly place to mail anything, this just hangs in space and anything put through the slot just floats away to nowhere land!! Heh, heh. I've been staring at this for a long time........I still have a big belly!! Thanks PD, cool puzzle. You can't fool me, Pat.....that is a beautiful reptilian eyeball staring at us. I had to solve this as quickly as possible as a result!ahem, 1:36 I've posted the mail for today here.........I can't imagine anything else this would be used for!...... i don't really want to be skinny but a little less round, Pat, would be nice. How soon can you manage it? What about our friend who thinks every slit is a mail slot? Do you think this one is safe? Thanks, Pat. Another fun puzzle. Join the club, Edie. LOLFun puzzle, Pat, thanks. :-) Could you do something like that on me. I want to be thinner too. Enjoyed the puzzle, thanks Pat.

The price of a hip replacement, a common elective procedure in the U.S., is hard to find and costs vary widely, complicating patients’ ability to comparison shop, a study found. Only 16 percent of hospitals surveyed were able to provide pricing information for both hospital and physician costs, according to research published today in JAMA Internal Medicine. When hospitals and doctors were contacted separately, full pricing was available for another 47 percent. The prices given varied almost 10-fold across the hospitals, the paper shows. As more Americans are asked to foot a bigger portion of their health-care bill, being able to make price comparisons is essential, said the study’s author, Peter Cram. The findings show the obstacles patients face as they try to save money on medical bills while not sacrificing quality, the authors said. “Hospitals, they aren’t used to this request,” said Cram, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine in Iowa City, in an interview. “Our finding should inspire people to the fact that you should ask about prices even if you have insurance. People should demand more.” Out of the 48 million surgical procedures performed in the U.S. in 2009, 327,000 were for hip replacements, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The prices given to the researchers ranged from $12,500 to $105,000 for total hip replacements at top-ranked hospitals and $11,100 and $125,798 at the other facilities, the study showed. Cram said the price differences could be because some hospitals were factoring in more amenities like a private room even though they asked for the best price, or the hospitals had a hard time figuring out just what the price was. “Just having price information does us no good because you have to understand what you’re getting for that price, is it good quality or poor quality,” said Ezekiel Emanuel, chairman of the Department of Medical Ethics & Health Policy at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, in a telephone interview today. In an accompanying editorial, Emanuel said doctors, hospitals and insurers will be able to use this data, along with information on quality, to help health-care costs. Researchers in the study randomly selected two hospitals from each state and Washington, D.C., that performed total hip replacement. They also contacted the 20 top-ranked orthopedic hospitals from the U.S. News & World Report rankings. Each hospital was called between May 2011 and July 2012 and asked for the lowest complete price for both the hospital and physician fees for an elective total hip replacement. The caller would say the procedure was for her 62-year-old grandma who didn’t have insurance but was able to pay out of pocket. They found that nine of the hospitals that were top ranked by U.S. News & World Report and 10 of the other hospitals were able to give complete prices for both the hospital and doctor fees for the surgery. Pricing information was also available from three additional top-ranked hospitals and 54 other hospitals when the facilities and doctors were called separately. Emanuel said it’s “upsetting” that hospitals and providers can’t provide consumers with a total price particularly for elective procedures. “It is time we stop forcing people to buy health-care services blindfolded – and then blame them for not seeing,” he wrote in his editorial. “The transparency imperative is here, and one way or another the public will soon be empowered to choose their health care based on reliable data on price and quality.” Hospitals have a uniform set of charges and consumers deserve helpful information, though they need to understand that what they’ll ultimately pay depends on their insurer, said Elizabeth Lietz, a spokeswoman for the Washington-based American Hospital Association. More than 40 states already require or encourage hospitals to report information on hospital charges or payment rates and make that data available to the public, she said. “Sharing meaningful information, however, is challenging because hospital care is unique and based on each individual patient’s needs,” Lietz said in an e-mailed statement. “To get the most meaningful information, we encourage consumers to talk with their physician, hospital and insurance company.”

The clubs inconsistent League form is the reason for Pellegrino being fired which includes a 4-0 beating against Malaga last week following a disappointing 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid. In a statement on the club's website, president Manuel Llorente said: "After the match [with Real Sociedad], we had been exchanging views, and we have taken the decision to dismiss coach Mauricio Pellegrino. "It was a decision which, as you can all imagine, was painful, but we think that within the scope of our responsibility, we have to take such decisions. In all the time I've been at Valencia, this is the first time we have removed a coach. I feel responsible, I'm the president. "After analysis of the encounter and our form since we started the season, this is what had to be done. And it hurts a lot, because I have always held Mauricio in very high regard. "The intention is that we take the team to the Champions League, it is our responsibility to take decisions to straighten our future. It is more comfortable not to take it, but we are obliged to." Assistant coach Voro will take temporary charge of first-team affairs as they begin the search for Pellegrino's replacement.

A Lakers spokesman declined to comment on his condition. Buss, 79, has been in the hospital numerous times over the last two years. He underwent an undisclosed surgery last August and was admitted a month earlier for what the team said was dehydration. He was also hospitalized in December 2011 for blood clots in his leg caused by excessive travel, according to the Lakers. A report Thursday from radaronline.com said that players were visiting Buss because of “what they expect to be his final days.” [Update, 5:50 p.m.: Buss' son Jim, the team's executive vice president of player personnel, was at Cedars-Sinai and said his father was "doing fine." "We just aren't going to make any comments on it," Jim Buss said outside of the intensive care unit, adding that the family has "been dealing with this."] Before his most recent medical issues, Buss continued to take part in decision-making processes for the Lakers.He weighed in heavily on the hiring of Coach Mike D’Antoni in November and, a few months before that, was eager to meet Dwight Howard and Steve Nash, two high-profile Lakers additions who visited him separately after being acquired. Buss received a doctorate in physical chemistry from USC but it was a $1,000 investment in a Los Angeles apartment building that ultimately sparked a career in real-estate investment. The Lakers franchise, buoyed by a lucrative TV deal with Time Warner Cable, was recently valued at $1 billion by Forbes magazine. Only one other NBA franchise, the New York Knicks, was deemed more valuable. The Lakers have won 10 NBA championships since Buss purchased the team and 16 overall, one behind the Boston Celtics. They are continually among the top-spending teams in player salary, and this season is no different. They have a $100-million payroll, the highest in the NBA, and face luxury-tax penalties of another $30 million in an overwhelmingly disappointing season so far. There would be another steep financial investment if Howard decided to re-sign with the Lakers after this season. Howard is in the last year of his contract and could sign a five-year, $118-million deal in July to stay with the team. “When it comes down to it, Dr. Buss is a competitor,” Lakers General Manager Mitch Kupchak said when Howard was acquired in a four-team trade last August. “And when it comes down to a decision about making a couple of dollars or a million dollars or $10 million or putting another banner up, he can’t help himself. He chooses to go for the banner.” Buss used to be a fixture at Lakers games in his Staples Center luxury suite halfway up the arena behind the team bench, but he had not attended any games this season. He maintained an extremely low public profile last year, emerging briefly to release a statement through the team when Derek Fisher was traded in a rare cost-cutting move last March. “Few who have worn the Lakers uniform have done so with as much class as Derek, both on the court and in the community ... from his famous 0.4 shot in San Antonio to his clutch performances in the Finals against Orlando and Boston when it mattered most,” Buss said in the statement. Buss has gradually handed more power to his son, Jim, who oversees basketball operations, and daughter, Jeanie, who is in charge of the business side of the team. Staff writer Melissa Rohlin contributed to this report.

Top Walter Pyramid Moments #11: Women's Volleyball defeats No. 14 Hawaii in front of 5,015 Nov. 1, 1997 Long Beach, Calif. - The LA Times called it the "real christening" of the Pyramid, and with all that was going on that November night in 1997, they couldn't have been more right. The No. 2 49ers and NCAA National Player of the Year candidate Misty May handled perennial powerhouse Hawaii in three sets in front of 5,015 fans -- which at the time was the largest crowd since opening night. The sellout crowd at the Hawaii match contributed to doubling the overall home attendance numbers from the year before. Meanwhile in the background, the pieces were falling into place for what would prove to be a magical 1998 campaign that would end in an NCAA Championship. A month before the Hawaii game, coach Brian Gimmillaro had moved into his offices in the Pyramid. As the LA Times wrote in December of that year: "While other Long Beach State coaches sweat it out in portable buildings or cramped physical education offices, Gimmillaro two months ago moved into a new office that looks down on the Pyramid floor ... Gimmillaro's plush new offices in the Pyramid suggest that volleyball rules at The Beach." Volleyball truly did rule in the Pyramid in '97 and '98 as the 49ers did not loss a match at home -- winning 27 of the 31 home matches by sweep in those two years. Gimmillaro put it perfectly when asked about the winning streak and his new digs, "I loved the Gold Mine, but the Pyramid is heaven." TOP 15 WALTER PYRAMID MOMENTS

C.F. Martin & Co. Announces the Promotion of Amani Duncan to Vice President of Brand Marketing NAZARETH, PA Recognized by her peers as one of the most dynamic marketing executives in the music business, Amani Duncan was today named Vice President of Brand Marketing for C.F. Martin & Co. Duncan was originally hired in January 2011 as Director of Promotional Marketing, making this the first time that a Martin executive has been promoted to the company's internal Senior Core Team after only one year with the company. Amani is responsible for establishing the company's Global Marketing direction and plays a major role in the achievement of the company's domestic and international sales objectives. "Amani was chosen to round out the Core Team at Martin for her creative thinking and great enthusiasm," said Keith Lombardi, President and COO. "In her short tenure at Martin Guitar she has completely overhauled our marketing efforts, providing a vibrant, youth-oriented approach while still staying true to our heritage and culture. We are very lucky to have her on the team." A 17-year music industry veteran, Duncan was chosen for her dynamic contributions to the music industry, with experience that runs the gamut from artist relations to visual marketing, campaign creation and partnership negotiations. Her illustrious career has included positions at some of the most iconic companies in the music industry. Past achievements include serving as Chief Marketing Officer of Sean Combs Enterprises. As Senior Vice President of Marketing, Video Production & Content for the Capitol Music Group, Duncan empowered consumers and entrepreneurial Artists by leveraging brands in an increasingly contracting music industry. Her marketing stewardship during a delicate consolidation of Virgin and Capitol Records helped to re-brand two of the industry's most formidable labels. Armed with her own proprietary "success mission", Duncan helped deliver substantial new revenue streams through third party alliances that included Myspace, Champion apparel, Chase, and Southwest Airlines among others. Under her tutelage, superstar Lenny Kravitz garnered his highest Billboard entry in two decades, with "It Is Time For a Love Revolution" debuting at #4 on the "Billboard Top Albums Chart". She also reallocated assets to strengthen the label's digital presence, partnering with Myspace for Kravitz' "Get On The Bus With The Love Revolution Tour", utilizing her considerable visual expertise to generate other digital and mobile content from the CMG roster to garner new platforms of exposure for their artists. Prior to the 2007 consolidation of Virgin and Capitol into a single unit, the Capitol Music Group, Duncan was Vice President of Video Promotions for Virgin America from 2002 to 2006. In this position she was tasked with forging partnerships with franchise brands such as MTV and the NFL to promote Janet Jackson's 9th studio album, "Damita Jo". Duncan also worked behind the scenes to create the first-ever MTV2 $2 Bill Tour called "Welcome to the Universe", also dubbed "The Environmen-tour" due to its forward-thinking eco messaging. Duncan also oversaw the video promotional campaign for the UK band Gorillaz and their album "Demon Days", helping the band attain their highest U.S. chart debut ever, achieving the #6 spot on the "Billboard Top Albums" chart in 2005. The most formative period of Duncan's career was gleaned during her tenure with the Island Def Jam Music Group from 1995 to 2002 where she started out as West Coast Office Manager before convincing Def Jam executive Kevin Liles that she deserved a shot at the Big Apple. Once there, Duncan made it a point to "drop in" regularly at the BET offices to cultivate relationships that would ultimately prove beneficial to Def Jam artists, proving that she was right to ask for the transfer to New York, which subsequently led to her being named Promotions Manager, then National Director of Visual Promotions. Most importantly for Def Jam, it also led to BET sponsorships of one of the most successful tours in the history of hip hop - Jay-Z's "The Hard Knock Life" Tour. Duncan was also instrumental in securing a 2001 "MTV Unplugged" showcase for Jay-Z, only the second hip hop artist of the entire previous decade to garner the coveted MTV platform; and a partnership with Jay-Z and BET executive Stephen Hill on BET's flagship Marquee program "Blueprint" named after Jay-Z's award-winning album. All of these elements led to Def Jam regaining its dominant position in the hip-hop sector, and spawning the hugely successful Roc-A-Fella Empire. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Duncan spends her spare time donating her services to support mentoring Sports and Arts in Schools Foundation, a non-profit provider of after-school programs in New York City.

In his lust for giving Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., a sound 12-round whipping, Sergio Martinez learned that a wounded prey is can mount a sudden and dangerous counterattack. Martinez seemed headed to an obstacle-free win against Chavez (46-1-1) in their World Boxing Council middleweight title fight Saturday in Las Vegas. For 11 1/2 rounds, Martinez proved why he is one of boxing’s best pound-for-pound fighters, bruising Chavez with effective shots from different distances and angles. The younger but slower Chavez perhaps was too green for this type of ring assignment and Martinez didn’t care about protecting his lead as the fight approached the final three minutes. Martinez (50-2-2) wanted Chavez, son of the legendary Mexican champion, to pay for his ascension through the promotional chain at a perceived convenient pace. But just as it appeared that Martinez, 37, would have his victory sealed, he encountered an unexpected scare. Chavez found his opening and landed three solid lefts to the head, sending Martinez to the canvas midway through the 12th round. A dazed and bloody Martinez beat the 10-count and converted to survivor as Chavez suddenly was in pursuit of a dramatic, late win. Martinez converted from aggressor to survivor, clinching and landing weaker combinations to outlast Chavez’s assault. The clock ran out on Chavez and Martinez banked on the previous 11 rounds to win a unanimous decision before a capacity crowd at the Thomas and Mack Center. “Julio gave it his all tonight, he did more than I expected,” Martinez said. “He showed he had heart and until the end, he never gave up.” A native of Argentina, Martinez, 37, spent more than a decade striving to reach the event of Saturday’s pay-per-view backdrop. Now that he has reclaimed the WBC belt, Martinez (50-2-2) looks forward to enhancing his brush with fame. “This win means that I can believe in the sport again,” Martinez said. “That a champion is willing to fight everyone.” Despite the 12th round scare, Martinez won the bout 119-109 on two judges’ scorecards, and 117-11 on the third. “It was not my night, I started too late,” said Chavez, who is now 46-1-1. “I hurt him but unfortunately I couldn’t finish him. I just needed a little more time.” Chavez’s last-minute flurry and near knockout win now solidifies the setting for a rematch and new boxing rivalry. “Of course, whenever he wants the rematch, we will do it,” Martinez said. “We are two professionals and we will take this with the seriousness it deserves.” • Other late Saturday bouts: Miami resident Guillermo Rigondeaux (11-0) retained his World Boxing Association super-bantamweight title with a unanimous decision over Robert Marroquin. ... Mexico’s Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (41-0-1, 30 KOs) defended his WBC super-welterweight belt with a fifth-round technical knockout win over Josesito Lopez in Las Vegas. Florida pioneer dies Don Hazelton, who oversaw the Florida Boxing Commission and Miccosukee Boxing Commission during a three-decade span, died Friday at a Tallahassee hospital. Hazelton was 83. Hazelton was diagnosed with lung and throat cancer last year. In 1987, Hazelton became executive director of the Florida Boxing Commission. Hazelton’s tenure was praised for reform enhancement and strict maintenance of rules and regulations. His term expired in 1996. Two years later, when the Miccosukee Indian Tribe broke from the Florida Commission and formed its own boxing regulating authority, Hazelton became its executive director, until 2010 when the Miccosukees disbanded the commission. A former Florida state representative from 1970 to 1978, Hazelton is survived by his wife and two sons.

-NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430- is my videocard. Is that good enough to play Guild Wars 2? Also, another question: If my videocard doesn't meet the requirements, does that mean I can't play Guild Wars 2 on medium/high quality, or does it mean I can't play Guild Wars 2 at all? What other video cards are recommended if this one doesnt work? I would be shocked if you can even start the game with that GPU. It is hard for us to give a good recommendation for a replacement without more details about the rest of your computer. What CPU, motherboard and power supply do you have? These are the minimum requirements for Guild Wars 2: Windows® XP Service Pack 2 or better • Intel® Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, Core i3, AMD Athlon 64 X2, or better • 2 GB RAM • NVIDIA® GeForce® 7800, ATI X1800, Intel HD 3000, or better (256MB of video RAM and shader model 3.0 or better) • 25 GB available HDD space • Broadband Internet connection • Keyboard and mouse

You're using more water than you think A water footprint is the total volume of freshwater used to produce the goods and services consumed. Here are some ways to lighten your water footprint. Fri, Aug 31 2012 at 11:28 AM Prodded by environmental consciousness — or penny pinching — you installed low-flow showerheads and fixed all the drippy facets. Knowing that your manicured lawn was sucking down an unnatural amount of water — nearly 7 billion gallons of water is used to irrigate home landscaping, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency — you ripped up the turf and replaced it with native plants. You’re still using a lot more water than you think. The drought of 2012 has generated images of parched landscapes and sun-baked lakebeds. At least 36 states are projecting water shortages between now and 2013, according to a survey by the federal General Accounting Office. Water supplies are finite, and fickle. Water, we all know, is essential to life. It is also essential to agriculture, industry, energy and the production of trendy T-shirts. We all use water in ways that go way beyond the kitchen and bathroom. The measure of both direct and indirect water use is known as the water footprint. Your water footprint is the total volume of freshwater used to produce the goods and services consumed, according to the Water Footprint Network, an international nonprofit foundation based in the Netherlands. The Water Footprint Network has crunched the numbers and developed an online calculator to help you determine the size of your footprint. You’ll be astonished to know how much water you’re using … once you’ve converted all those metric measurements into something you can understand. The average American home uses about 260 gallons of water per day, according to the EPA. That quarter-pound burger you just gobbled down? More than 600 gallons of water. That Ramones T-shirt? More than 700 gallons. So, adjustments to your diet and buying habits can have a much greater impact on the size of your water footprint than taking 40-second showers. A pound of beef, for example, takes nearly 1,800 gallons of water to produce, with most of that going to irrigate the grains and grass used to feed the cattle. A pound of chicken demands just 468 gallons. If you really want to save water, eat more goat. A pound of goat requires 127 gallons of water. We’ve been told to cut down on our use of paper to save the forests, but going paperless also saves water. It takes more than 1,300 gallons of water to produce a ream of copy paper. Even getting treated water to your house requires electricity. Letting your faucet run for five minutes, the EPA says, uses about as much energy as burning a 60-watt light bulb for 14 hours. Reducing your water footprint also reduces your carbon footprint, the amount of greenhouse gases your lifestyle contributes to the atmosphere and global warming. So, you could say that conserving water is more than hot air. It’s connected to almost everything you do. Related water stories on MNN:

is in what one would expect to be a hot sector, creating and deploying information technology in specialized areas such as security and defense. But a coming slowdown in U.S. defense spending has analysts concerned for the outlook, and the company is using M&A to expand its capabilities in a bid to offset slower growth. SAIC provides scientific, engineering, systems integration and technical services and solutions to all branches of the U.S. military, agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), the intelligence community, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other U.S. government civil agencies, state and local government agencies, foreign governments and customers in selected commercial markets. The company’s works on national security, energy and the environment, critical infrastructure and health. “We are focusing our investments to expand our business in areas emphasizing: intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; cyber security; logistics, readiness and sustainment; energy and environment; and health technology,” management said in a recent filing. Nevertheless, revenues from government accounted for 97 percent of total revenues in fiscal 2011, and that was mostly from U.S. government contracts, the company said. On the smaller, commercial side, the company is developing oil and gas and information technology services. Over the last five years, the SAIC has made 21 acquisitions in the areas of cyber security, engineering consulting, language translation, and military defense. “The acquisition of businesses is part of our growth strategy to provide new or enhance existing capabilities and offerings to customers and to establish new or enhance existing relationships with customers,” management said. SAIC has a market cap of $3.79 billion in a sector, information technology services, where the average company size is $9.78 billion. Its projected earnings per share growth for the coming year is 1.5 percent, compared to a sector average of 12.65 percent Analysts are mixed on SAIC. Jefferies has the stock rated as a buy, while Standard & Poor’s analysts rate it a a sell. “We recently lowered our opinion on the shares to strong sell, from hold. In general, we think overall government spending for the Department of Defense will be flat or lower, affecting revenues for the foreseeable future,” S&P analysts wrote on May 14.

STEWART, Ohio — Eastern’s postseason hopes are still alive following a 25-23 win over Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division foe Federal Hocking Friday night in Athens County. The Eagles (6-3, 5-2 TVC Hocking) jumped out to an early lead after Joey Scowden completed a 74 yard pass to Chase Cook at the 10:32 mark of the first quarter. Joey Scowden completed a pass to Troy Gantt for the two-point conversion and Eastern led 8-0. With just under a minute left in the first period Max Carnahan hit a 30 yard field goal to put the Green and White up 11. Federal Hocking (6-3, 5-2) got on the board with 3:22 remaining in the half when Delbert Crum broke a 47 yard run. Terrance Mayle added the point after touchdown and FHHS pulled within one score. Eastern’s big play offense struck again before the half was up, as Joey Scowden completed a 66 yard pass to Alex Amos for six points. The extra point kick failed and EHS led 17-7 at half. The lone score of the third period was at the 5:32 mark when the Lancers tacked an Eastern runner in the endzone for a safety. Eastern recorded a safety of its own to start the fourth period and the Eagles led 19-9. Less than two minutes later Eastern was in the endzone again with a 31 yard completion from Joey Scowden to Max Carnahan. The extra point kick failed and Eastern led 25-9 with 9:05 remaining. Down 16 points FHHS clawed back first with a 12 yard run by Andrew Smith for six points. Smith caught the two-point conversion from Kyle Jackson to cut the EHS lead to eight with 5:55 left in regulation. Smith found paydirt again with 3:57 left in the game on a 21 yard pass from Jackson. The Eagles defense stopped the two point conversion attempt and led 25-23. As the game clock wound down Eastern drove down the field. With 90 seconds remaining Eastern had the ball on a fourth and one at it’s own 44 yard line. Federal Hocking’s Peyton Seel was penalized for offsides and Eastern had the first down it needed to end the game. Joey Scowden led Eastern with 5-of-11 passing for 201 yards with three touchdowns and an interception. Joey Scowden also ran 21 times compiling a team-high 84 yards.

The primary purpose of investing is, of course, to make money. Whether using your money to make more money is your primary job, or if you’re just investing to build a retirement fund, you are probably just concerned about making the most of your money and getting a good return on your investments. However, it can get a bit boring to stare at numbers and figures, charts and graphs, and make the same types of investments day in and day out. It can also start to feel a bit like you’re just moving around money that doesn’t exist, when you’re not actually purchasing anything but shares in companies. If you’re feeling the urge to invest something you can actually see and hold in your hands, why not invest in colored diamonds? It may sound like a strange idea at first, but colored diamonds are actually highly prized around the world and therefore retain their value very well. In fact, in the past thirty years the value of colored diamonds has not dropped, making them a very secure and low risk investment. They will probably even increase in value in the near future, because less colored diamonds are currently being mined. Many diamond mines are closing, and new mines are not opening fast enough to replace them. This means recover of the valuable gemstones is slowing down, so they will become more rare. When something is more rare, the value usually increases. Right now colored diamonds are enjoying immense popularity in the global market, so demand is high and not likely to decrease any time soon. It can be refreshing to have a tangible investment that you can actually see and touch, and that can be passed down to heirs very simply. Most investors just own loose stones, but you can always have the diamonds set into beautiful jewelry. Since you’ve invested your money into these gemstones, you might as well go ahead and enjoy them! This is one investment that will certainly never become boring.

“The Texas AgriLife Extension Service plays a vital role in Refugio County,” he told the commissioners at last week’s meeting. “We provide relevant, research-based information and education to help Texans improve their lives and to address their problems.” Donalson is at the forefront of educational programs for youths and adults alike, which plays an important role in rural counties like Refugio. The agent and his assistant Monica Flores, sponsor and assist sponsors of dozens of programs offered through 4-H and other organizations throughout the county. “There were over 225 Refugio County Youth that participated in the Youth Livestock Show that is held in conjunction with the Refugio County Fair,” Donalson said. “The livestock that is exhibited is sold to local youth supporters for upwards of $300,000. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to ensure that buyers are receiving a safe, quality product that has been raised in an ethical manner.” The county’s Junior Livestock Committee along with the extension service developed the Refugio County Quality Counts Program held last August. The three-hour event educated youths on the aspects of proper and ethical livestock production. An overwhelming 100 percent of participants had increased test scores after attending the program. Donalson said 78 percent of the youths were not cleaning their facilities. “Sixty-seven percent had never attended a program,” Donalson said. The agent told the court that successful programs for youths such as the Earth Science Field Day as well as adults, such as the Africanized Bee Safety Training were well-received and will continue and new ones will be instituted for 2013 as need arises. A program developed in 2012 that will continue in 2013 is an annual Refugio County Beef Cattle Workshop. Beef producers also participate in the Tri-County Blanconia Field Day and the Tri County Commercial Cattle Sale. The county, though the smallest, grossed the highest in the sale, Donalson said. Farming interest are also addressed with field trials and the annual Crop Tour. Development of an educational food program began late in the year and is expected to be implemented this year. “We respond to the residents who come to us for information and educational services and reach out to meet local educational needs,” Donalson said. More information about programs and activities may be obtained by contacting the extension office at 107 E. Roca in Refugio or by calling 526-2825.

Aug. 30, 2012 at 4:22 PM ET ISRAEL - Here in Israel, Dov Moran is considered a genius. If you look at you keychain and havea USB hard disk hanging from it, Moran is the one who invented it. He wasthe founder of M-systems that invented the USB flash drive. His company wassold to SanDisk at the end of 2006 for $1.6 billion. On Wednesday, Moran introduced his latest gadget, the Smartype, a new computerkeyboard that he hopes will change our life in a simple but clever way. One hundred and fifty years have passed since the first keyboard was introduced, and not much haschanged since. "I invented Smartype since I had my own problem typing," Moran told reporters. "When I typed, I found myself looking constantly back and forthfrom the keyboard to the computer screen, checking the spelling and typinglanguage". So Moran invented a keyboard that has a built in screen thatdisplays and represents the last line typed, making it possible to keep youreyes looking only at the keyboard. Simple and one of those "why didn’t Ithink of that?" ideas. Moran represents a lot of why Israel is called “the start-up nation." Hefaced huge success, as well as a close encounter with failure. In 2007, Moran invented Modu, the first Israeli mobile phone company. The concept was to builda tiny and simple phone but at the age of the iPhone no one bothered with smalland simple and in 2011 the company ceased to exist. “I failed with Modu” Moransaid. "But you need to fall and bounce back and continue on." About 100 million keyboards are sold each year worldwide, and Moran toldreporters he "will be happy with 10 percent of that." Later this year, U.S. consumers will have the choice to purchase Moran’s new Smartype keyboard for $99. Not only does it have a nice sleekdesign, but it also comes with a set of applications that can display theweather, time and last email.

Treasury Secretary nominee sails through hearing Confirmation hearing could get testy Treasury Secretary nominee Jack Lew seemingly breezed through tough questions posed by Republicans during his first confirmation hearing on Wednesday. Washington insiders expect Lew, currently the White House chief of staff, to be easily confirmed. Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee took turns targeting Lew's experience at Citigroup during the financial crisis, questioning an offshore investment in the Cayman Islands and a bonus he received even as the bank was being bailed out by taxpayers. But congressional aides, lobbyists and analysts say Lew was composed and answered questions thoroughly. "There's nothing that came up in this hearing that could derail this." said Brian Gardner, a Washington analyst with investment firm Keefe, Bruyette & Woods. "Will he get every Republican? No. But at this point I expect Lew will be confirmed by a wider margin than Geithner was." Former Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner was confirmed by a vote of 60-34, the minimum needed to prevent a filibuster. Senators asked Lew about a fund organized in the Cayman Islands that he and other Citigroup employees invested in. Lew said he didn't know at the time that the fund was based in the Cayman Islands. "I was aware that it was an international fund . ..I actually didn't know at the time what the address of the partnership was," Lew said. Sen. Orrin Hatch, the Utah Republican, asked Lew about his $900,000 bonus from Citigroup in 2009. Critics, including Hatch, have said Lew was among the bankers who received bonuses even as Citigroup was getting a $45 billion taxpayer-funded bailout. Lew was chief operating officer at Citi Alternative Investments in 2008. "Mr. Lew, you wrote in 2010 that your contribution was in line with what other managers at the firm got. That sounds a little to me like: Gee dad, everyone was doing it," Hatch said. Lew responded that his bonus was "fully transparent," and "comparable" with those in his line of work. Lew's bonus came on top of a salary of around $350,000. Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa asked Lew about his tenure as a top financial officer at New York University between 2002 and 2006, because the private college also invested in funds organized in the Cayman Islands. Lew said he was unaware of those investments at the time. "It's certainly a poor reflection of your tenure there if you didn't know about these investments. . . I'm surprised you didn't know what was going on," Grassley said. Lew had already declared his Cayman Islands investment in previous hearings. When he was confirmed as a Deputy Secretary of State in 2009, Lew said that he had invested $56,000 in the fund. In 2010, during his confirmation to be head of the Office of Management and Budget, Lew divested from the money-losing fund and recovered $54,400, he said on Wednesday. The Obama administration has defended Lew's actions. And Lew assured senators during the hearing that he had paid taxes on all his income, noting he "lost money" from the Cayman Islands investment, so he didn't owe any taxes on that. Lew, who was nominated last month to succeed Tim Geithner, stressed several times that his experience working on "almost every major bipartisan budget agreement over the last 30 years," should be a key reason why the Senate should confirm him to the position. "I can honestly say that the things that divide Washington right now are not as insurmountable as they might look," Lew said. Sen. Johnny Isakson, a Georgia Republican, asked about the impending massive budget cuts and whether Lew regretted his role in crafting the original idea of the so-called sequestration. If Congress doesn't act, some $85 billion will be slashed from budgets come March 1, resulting in large scale furloughs and job cuts. Lew said the alternative at the time -- risking the credit-worthiness of the United States -- was much more unimaginable than sequestration. "The only alternative that anyone could think of, that could be agreed to, was sequestration, precisely because it's so objectionable," Lew said. "It would be better for the country if we have an agreement on a framework to solve our fiscal problems and not go into sequestration." Copyright 2013 by CNN NewSource. All rights reserved.

The Pittsburgh Steelers aren't taking any chances. Fox Sports insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer reports that Ben Roethlisberger will sit out Sunday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens, and Byron Leftwich will start at quarterback. The Steelers trail their AFC North rivals by one game, but they have to look to their long-term future. They need Roethlisberger healthy for the season's stretch run. Roethlisberger's shoulder sprain isn't his only injury. Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Roethlisberger also has a rib injury that wasn't mentioned by Steelers coach Mike Tomlin on Tuesday. That injury occurred on a third-quarter sack of Roethlisberger and "could also be a serious problem." Roethlisberger's shoulder injury and rib problem could keep him out a "matter of weeks," and Bouchette wrote that "any speculation" at this point about how many weeks is "just that." This particular shoulder sprain is not that common in football. Considering how things looked when Roethlisberger left Heinz Field on Monday night, there might be some relief in Pittsburgh that this injury isn't more serious. But the Steelers can't afford to miss Roethlisberger for long. Safety Troy Polamalu is expected to miss another week. Wide receiver Antonio Brown, running back Rashard Mendenhall and offensive tackle Marcus Gilbert are among the other Steelers shaky to play this week.

SENATE MEDICAID TASK FORCE TARGETS WASTE, FRAUD AND ABUSE New York spends a total of $52.5 billion of taxpayers’ money a year on Medicaid. That means New York State spends over $1 billion a week on Medicaid services. New York’s Medicaid program is larger than the total budgets of forty-three other States. New York’s Medicaid costs are twice as much as California’s program, even though California serves more people. New York also spends more on Medicaid than the states of Texas, Florida, and North Carolina combined! New York State’s current level of spending on Medicaid cannot continue. The billions of dollars spent on Medicaid services jeopardizes critically needed funding for other badly needed services and continues to drive up the cost of our local property taxes. Clearly, immediate action must be taken to reduce the cost of this program. The U.S. Government Accountability Office estimates that as much as 10 percent of all Medicaid expenses are the result of fraud. This means that in Governor Paterson’s Executive Budget proposal, as much as $5 billion could be wasted on fraudulent services! This is unacceptable for the State with the largest Medicaid program in the Nation. We must search out and recover every last dollar of Medicaid fraud, waste and abuse to reduce spending and ease the burden on local property taxpayers. We have to take action to ensure our Medicaid dollars are not wasted and that they are spent wisely and efficiently to provide services to people who are truly in need. We need to ensure that every cent of taxpayer dollars is accounted for! As a member of the New York State Senate Task Force on Medicaid Fraud and Reform, I have worked hard to aggressively investigate what savings can be gained from New York’s overburdened Medicaid system. After working closely with local and county officials and experts on Medicaid fraud prevention, the Task Force has now released its initial report. This sweeping set of policy recommendations will empower local governments to boost their own Medicaid fraud efforts, combat waste and the overuse of services, and save taxpayers up to $500 million a year. Members of the Task Force collected testimony and background information detailing the extent of Medicaid fraud in New York. The findings paint a shocking picture of a State Medicaid program rife with abuse, costing taxpayers billions of dollars in unnecessary or fraudulent expenditures. There was the Brooklyn dentist who billed Medicaid for 991 procedures in a single day - - even pulling and filling all 32 teeth on one patient - - as well as a physician who prescribed $11.5 million worth of a synthetic hormone popular with bodybuilders. Another woman claimed $60,000 in Medicaid benefits even though she had $400,000 in the bank, several luxury cars, a million dollar home and two properties in Florida. We need to give prosecutors the authority to go after criminals like these who are stealing billions in tax dollars and give local governments the tools they need to prevent any more fraud from happening. Our counties know what works in the Medicaid program and what doesn't, and where there may be areas of fraud and abuse. Unfortunately, despite the fact that they are on the front lines of the Medicaid program, county officials have repeatedly said the State inhibits their ability to stop fraud at the local level. Senate Task Force recommendations include: · Give counties back the tools to determine if a Medicaid applicant is truly eligible. The 2009-10 State Budget, which I strongly opposed and voted against, eliminated the eligibility requirements for county-conducted face-to-face interviews, finger-imaging and asset tests for Medicaid applicants. These safeguards need to be reinstated immediately! · Allow localities to perform credit checks and real property searches on Medicaid applicants to prevent fraud. · Empower Counties to keep more tax dollars that are lost to Medicaid fraud and waste to offset local costs and reinvest in staff and technology to fight fraud. · Wherever possible, substitute less expensive generic drugs for name brands – just doing this could save taxpayers $300 million. · Require Medicaid recipients to choose a primary doctor and pharmacist, similar to managed care plans. · Install a voice-activated time card system for personal care workers. This system is already in place in New York City and has saved $1 billion in time card abuse and reduced personal care hours – putting it in place statewide could save billions. · Allow district attorneys to prosecute cases of Medicaid fraud and abuse by health care providers. Currently all cases of provider fraud are referred to the state Attorney General. Allowing for local prosecution would reduce the amount of time and State resources to prosecute these cases. Over the next few months, I will work closely with my Senate colleagues to implement these reforms to crack down on Medicaid fraud. By working together, we can implement a cost-effective and efficient method of delivering Medicaid services to our seniors and individuals who are most in need, while also lessening the burden on the taxpayer.

The publication and republication of (offensive) caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed provided, to many, an opportunity to revisit the contours of the right to freedom of speech and expression. Without consciously taking sides in the debate as it unfolded in On Line Opinion and elsewhere, let me introduce to the discussion some more dimensions based on another controversy. The controversy is about Internet censorship in China which was reignited by Google’s recent decision to censor search results. Apart from the censor, the Chinese Government, there are four main corporate players in the censorship saga. Beginning in 2003, Yahoo provided electronic details of cyber-dissidents to the Chinese authorities which lead to their incarceration. Learning from Yahoo, Microsoft adopted a soft approach and shut down an Internet blog of a Chinese journalist hosted at its MSN Spaces for discussing politically sensitive issues. Microsoft has now opened up this censored blog, but only outside China. Most recently, Google agreed to self-censor search results of its new Chinese site: www.google.com.cn. The popular search engine will block results that include terms such as “free Tibet”, “democracy”, “human rights”, “Tiananmen massacre”, and “Falun Gong”. Finally, Cisco Systems is accused of facilitating such censorship by selling routing devices to China. Some may ask what the big deal is. Censorship, with or without the Internet, is common in China (pdf file 2.02GB) and rights are severely restricted. Chinese citizens - irrespective of whether they have access to the Internet or not - do not enjoy any meaningful freedom of speech in any case. Such a contention, however, misses an important point regarding the efficacy of the Internet. Among others, because of its trans-border base and reach, the Internet was believed to nullify, to a large extent, the power of repressive states to control and censor the free flow of ideas within their municipal boundaries. However, the current controversy indicates that powerful states could prevail over the might of even the Internet, at least for now. This is, however, not to suggest that Internet service providers are not (or should not be) subject to certain restrictions. Like many other rights, the right to freedom of speech, which includes the right to seek, receive and impart information, is not absolute. It could be reasonably restricted, say, on the ground of public order, health, morality, or the rights of others. For this reason, even corporations that are providing Internet services have to facilitate the freedom of speech, or of press, within such applicable limitations. For example, a corporation should not turn a blind eye to its website being used for inciting terrorism, promoting genocide, spreading social hatred, selling slaves, or facilitating music piracy for that matter. The China factor One natural question to ask is whether these giant corporations would have behaved elsewhere in the same way as they behaved in China. For example, would they have bowed to the censorship pressure of the governments of Myanmar or Zimbabwe? I very much doubt it. The reason is not difficult to identify; it is about commercial opportunism. One has to merely look at the speed at which the Internet market is growing in China. According to a survey report released by the Internet Society of China at the end of year 2005, China had 110 million Internet users (second only to the US), up from 103 million in 2004. In 2005, the total revenue from Internet users was about 186 billion Yuan, which is expected to rise at the rate of 52.5 per cent. This perhaps explains why Yahoo, Microsoft and Google chose to follow the path of, as they put it, lesser evil. Apart from anything else, it also makes business sense not to annoy or pull out of China. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) CSR is the new mantra attracting the attention of almost everyone, from corporations to investors, consumers, media, NGOs, researchers, governments and international institutions. In addition to special corporations that have been constituted to do only CSR consultancy, there are specialised websites, journals and research centres devoted to exploring CSR issues. Despite all this, there is still a lack of consensus on what these “social” responsibilities of corporations are, how they could be balanced, if at all, with the primary objective of profit maximisation and how best they might be enforced. It may, therefore, be interesting to examine the CSR commitment of the four corporations that allegedly helped China in censoring people’s freedom of speech. The four US corporations - Cisco, Yahoo, Microsoft and Google - are market leaders in their own fields and are generally seen as good corporate citizens. Cisco “strives to be a good citizen worldwide” and pursues a strong “triple bottom line”: profits, people and presence. Yahoo takes prides in its “Yahoo! For Good” campaign and is “committed to making a difference in the world by empowering [its] users … with products and services that inspire them to make a positive impact”. Similarly, Microsoft “is committed … to help advance social and economic well-being and to enable people around the world to realise their full potential”. Additionally, the commendable initiatives taken by the Gates Foundation should not be forgotten. Google, on the other hand, claims to make money “without doing evil”. It was, however, surprising not to find the names of Yahoo, Microsoft and Google in the list of Global Compact participants. How do corporations explain the gap, as in this case, between their declared policies and practices? To begin with, it is safe to pass on the responsibility to states. The Joint Statement of Microsoft and Yahoo to the US Congress Human Rights Caucus illustrates this: “we think there is a vital role for government-to-government discussion of the larger issues involved” because in acting alone their “leverage and ability to influence government policies in various countries is severely limited”. Admittedly, states have the primary responsibility to ensure the protection and promotion of human rights, but this does not derogate whatever responsibility corporations have. If corporations have human rights obligations only subject to their profits, such obligations hardly serve any useful purpose.

These delightful children have strong and healthy siblings bonds. They need to be able to stay together and grow up as brothers and sisters. They are always looking out for one another and get along very well. Gamaliel is a doting and attentive big brother. He is calm, sweet, smart and adores music. After some initial shyness, his interactive, playful and, sometimes silly self shines through. Keiry is affectionate, friendly and chatty. Outgoing, she loves to bask in the spotlight whenever she gets the chance. Gardenia and Selena are inseparable. These little ones always have beaming smiles. Gardenia has been described as both loveable and serious. Social Selena is quite the conversational cutie. Finally, as the youngest of all, darling Salomon is happiest trailing after his big brother and sisters. A bilingual, two-parent family is critical as these children speak almost exclusively Spanish. If you dream of having a large family and would not be too easily overwhelmed by five children coming into your lives simultaneously, please consider adopting this special group. If you would like more information, please contact Angela Dindia at firstname.lastname@example.org or 800-331-0503.

UK, December 19, 2009, (Pal Telegraph) - It was only a matter of time before the politicians that were helped into office by the Friends of Israel Brigade started defending their investments for the next election. I guess with the aftermath of "Cast Lead" one could refer to these backhanders as blood money. After the announcement that Livni almost got herself arrested when planning a trip to London has now become a political football with Gordon Brown putting in his token comments with the obvious support of David Miliband as one would expect. We see headlines such as this suddenly appear: "Britain vows to end arrest threats to Israeli VIPs" - Britain pledged Tuesday to reform a peculiar legal power that lets judges order the arrest of visiting politicians and generals. I find our leaders are surely a law unto themselves when they manipulate the law to secure their own future. Could it be that Gordon Brown himself could be implicated in such a case one day? You know there is a clear understanding in this world that if you have done nothing wrong there is nothing to fear. I guess when your foreign secretary takes a biased approach in announcing that Britain would no longer tolerate legal harassment of Israeli officials in this fashion we must assume that all war criminals are above the law. When Miliband went on to say that the British government was determined that arrest threats against visitors of Livni's stature would not happen again. One can only assume that our gallant Foreign Secretary will be well funded in time for his next bid for re election......especially when he said "Israel is a strategic partner and a close friend of the United Kingdom. We are determined to protect and develop these ties," "Israeli leaders - like leaders from other countries - must be able to visit and have a proper dialogue with the British government."....ok so lets just hold it there for one moment.....does that mean Chevez or Magabe receive the same "Stature" Perhaps Livni has some unexplained background that allows her to get away with war crimes.......I guess her ex boss, former Director of Mossad, Ephraim Halevy knew her well when he quoted "She was in an elite unit," Operating out of Paris in those days saw many assassinations. Both her parents were Irgun fighters (Terrorists) and both believed passionately in "Zionism" in its extreme form and the idea of a Greater Israel. I guess that's British politics at its best....fill my purse and take your pound of flesh! What's ironic about these perverse politics is that it borders on corruption at the highest level and yet Brown and Miliband have the audacity to tell Karsai to get his shop in order! Perhaps one could relate to Miliband as being a servant to Shylock in "The Merchant of Venice".....taking his money to remain in office but then having to hand over his pound of flesh!........could that flesh be the lives of the people of Gaza? Before leaving "The Merchant of Venice" lets glance upon the words spoken in another play "Julius Caesar" (also by William Shakespeare) when Mark Antony said "The evil that men do lives after them" I am sure that our Foreign Secretary will find his "Eutopia" along with Gordon Brown with Shylocks help! Being British makes one feel so proud to know that we are a country of fair play and justice.....was that this century or last? - Peter Eyre, Middle East Consultant

My 3-year-old son won't go near my new baby, who is 1 month old. He did when the baby was born, but now he won't, and he tells everyone that the baby is bad or that he hates him. But my 18-month-old loves the baby and has no problem with him. What's up with my 3-year-old? Your son's behavior is quite common, especially among preschoolers of the same gender as the new baby in the family. Think of the situation from his perspective: He's worried that the new baby is replacing him in your eyes. That's a terrifying thought to a young child. There are a few things that you can do to help him feel more secure and, therefore, friendlier toward his younger brother. First, tell him repeatedly that you're going to be his parents forever and ever. Be sure to spend some time alone with him and focusing all of your attention on him every day. This way, through your words and your behaviors, you're addressing his unspoken fears of abandonment. Second, tell your 3-year-old that he's so smart that he has a new and very special job. He's going to be the "official interpreter" for his baby brother. When his brother babbles or coos, ask him what he thinks the baby This will reassure your older son that he's still an important family member. Also, his "translations" will probably tell you more about what's on his mind than anything having to do with your new baby

By Patrick Anderson PBN Staff Writer PROVIDENCE – Vision 3 Architects has been chosen as the “Reality” winner in the Armstrong World Industries “ideas 2 reality” design competition for their design of the new NaviNet corporate offices in Boston. The design was chosen as in the Commercial Ceiling and Wall Systems category out of 140 projects submitted in the competition from firms throughout the country. The “reality” winner is for a project that has been built and Armstrong also chose an “idea” winner for a project that has not be built. The new NaviNet offices occupy 65,000 square feet in three floors in a historic building in Boston's Leather District. The design combined historic elements of the building with modern features, colors, textures and finishes. “The design allows for lines of sight to the outdoors from virtually all areas of the open office space and defines traffic areas with ceiling components comprised of wood, metal, and lighting details. Those details are strategically repeated throughout the space to create a cohesive design,” Vision3 said in a release announcing the award.

Not all that. Fantastic graphics and scenery, but no gameplay. They've done a great job creating paradise city, but I think they have over done it. Miles and miles of boring staight roads with a small twisty section, unclear map makes navigation a pain.. There's barely any traffic on the roads and the 'racing' is pathetically easy, marked man and road rage are more fun, but it all gets a bit tiresome to quickly. Ok for a bit of no brain mahem, but race fans shouldn't bother.

Hey Guys - So I watch a decent amount of Netflix streaming - and I have plenty of devices to watch on (PS3, 360, Wii, LG LED TV). For simplicity's sake, I've been using the Netflix built into my TV - it works well and it's faster / easier to access than powering up consoles. The only wrinkle here is that, I have to output the audio from the TV to the Denon AVR via an optical spdif cable. The optical / coax ports on the avr are assignable, so I have that one assigned to the 'TV' input. The problem I'm having is that when I choose Prologic II: Cinema or DTS Neo: 6 Cinema, I'm not getting any sound from the surrounds. The receiver shows the 5.1 spkr icons in the display, but nada. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

“We’re gonna play a cover [song]. If you are from ASCAP or BMI, you can fuck off.” That’s how Jackson Milgaten, singer/guitarist/bassist with Vision of a Dying World, introduced a Daniel Johnston song recently at the Ken Club. ASCAP/BMI are the two major nonprofit groups that collect performance royalties from bars and nightclubs to pay songwriters. It’s not that Milgaten doesn’t respect the rights of songwriters; as the owner of local label Single Screen Records (the Sess, Red Feathers, Powerchords), he secures permission to use copyrighted songs on his CDs. For instance, he says he paid a $150 licensing fee so the Sess could record a song by a ’60s garage band called the Remains. Milgaten’s issue with ASCAP/BMI has to do with the clearinghouses going after small bars that feature bands which occasionally throw in a cover song. “Most of the larger venues, like the Belly Up, Casbah, and Beauty Bar, pay their [ASCAP/BMI] fees,” says Milgaten. “Besides, who cares if someone else plays your music in some small bar? Nobody is making any great money out here.” Bar owners usually pay $2000 to $7500 a year to ASCAP/BMI for the rights to have bands perform cover songs. The fee is determined by the size of the venue and the number of nights music is featured. If the businesses don’t comply, they could be sued. BMI spokesman Jerry Bailey says the statutory damages range from $750 to $30,000 per song. “And if it’s willful infringement, it could be up to $150,000 per song.… We don’t often lose [court] cases.” Bailey says BMI only goes after the business – not the artists who play the copyrighted songs. BMI licenses about 600,000 U.S. bars and restaurants. Bailey says that only about 3 percent of clearinghouse income comes from licensing live-music venues; most of its income comes from radio and TV. But if a venue refuses to pay its license, BMI will send a “researcher” who will sit in the bar and write down the songs that are played and record them with a small recorder. Milgaten says he blurted out the F-word out of frustration: he says he heard that ASCAP/BMI representatives recently paid visits to local nightspots. Bailey would not confirm the veracity of what Milgaten heard.

Santa Maria Sun / News The following articles were printed from Santa Maria Sun [santamariasun.com] - Volume 13, Issue 30 St. Joseph administrators found guilty of failing to report suspected child abuse BY JEREMY THOMAS AND AMY ASMAN After four days of testimony, jurors in Santa Maria determined the fate of two St. Joseph High School officials accused of failing to report a suspected sexual assault of an underage female student. The jury found St. Joseph principal Joseph Myers and former dean of students John Walker guilty of failing to report the alleged rape of a 17-year-old student. Walker was found not guilty of a separate charge relating to the alleged abuse or neglect of a 14-year-old student. Appearing before Judge Edward Bullard dressed in a pink shirt and yellow tie, Walker appeared stunned as the verdict was read. Myers shook his head. Walker angrily left the courtroom without commenting. “Obviously, we’re disappointed,” Myers told the press immediately after the verdict. “Everything I’ve ever done in my life, I’ve tried to do the right thing. I respect the opinion of the court and the way the trial was conducted, but the fact of the matter is [Walker and I] were put in a very difficult situation.” The alleged victim, who sat with her parents in the gallery, was seen crying after the verdict was announced. In July, prosecutors charged Walker and Myers, who are mandated reporters by law, with failing to report a suspected sexual assault on a then 16-year-old student by former St. Joseph student Shane Villalpando and another underage male classmate. In her closing arguments, Deputy District Attorney Anne Nudson accused Walker and Myers of willfully deciding not to report the suspected incident, and said they were guilty of the misdemeanor, regardless of whether or not they were told not to report the alleged rape by the alleged victim and her parents. “If you have reasonable suspicion, you have to make a call. You are not allowed to stick your head in the sand,” Nudson said. Walker and Myers both face six months in county jail and fines of up to $1,000. They are scheduled to appear again in court on Oct. 30.

TIP 3: Digicam Deal Many consumer digicams can focus very close--often within an inch or two of the front of the lens. This makes them great for close-up shooting. (Don't have a consumer digicam? Many cost less than a good macro lens. You might consider this option if you want to do a lot of close-up shooting.) This photo was made with a $300 4-megapixel Olympus C-765 Ultra Zoom that has a 10x optical zoom lens capable of focusing down to 0.5" (from the front of the lens) in Super Macro mode. flower was photographed with an Olympus C-765 Ultra Zoom consumer digicam. Many consumer digicams will focus incredibly close--yet they cost no more than a good macro lens for a "serious" Photo by Kate Rogowski TIP 4: Using Electronic Flash The big dilemma in close-up work is that blur due to camera or subject movement is magnified along with the image. That means you need to use a short exposure time to minimize blur; but depth of field is almost nonexistent at very close shooting distances, so you also need a small aperture to maximize depth of field. In natural light, however, using a fast shutter speed requires a wide aperture, and using a small aperture requires using a slow shutter speed. One solution is to use a faster film (or a higher ISO setting with a digital camera), but this reduces image quality. So most serious close-up photographers use a slow film (or a low ISO on a digicam), and electronic flash to illuminate their subjects. The brief flash duration (with some auto flash units, 1/20,000 second or shorter when used at very close range) eliminates blur due to camera or subject movement, while the flash intensity at close range lets you stop the lens down to maximize depth of field. Quite a few SLRs allow you to fire one or more shoe-mount flash units off-camera, either wirelessly or via extension sync cords. This gives you lots of lighting flexibility, as you can position the flash unit(s) as desired for the best lighting effect. (Try sidelighting to emphasize a subject's texture, or backlighting for an inner glow with translucent subjects like leaves.) Moving an electronic flash unit off-camera allows you to position it where it's most effective--here to one side, to bring out the texture of the feathers. Photos by Jack & Sue Drafahl electronic flash units used at very close range (or manual units used at low power) produce very brief flash durations, ideal for freezing close-up motion. Beware The "Macro Zoom" Many zoom lenses include the word "Macro" in their designation. But few of these are actually "macro"--few can focus close enough to produce a life-size image on the film. Closer-than-usual focusing capability is a nice feature, but if you really want "macro," check Double Your Pleasure A quick way to double your close-up capability is to get a 2x tele-converter. This is a tube that mounts between camera body and lens, and doubles the lens' focal length--while retaining its minimum focusing distance. Attach a 2x converter to a 200mm lens that focuses down to 4 feet, and you have a 400mm lens that focuses down to 4 feet. There is a drawback: The 2x tele-converter reduces the light that the lens transmits by 2 stops: Your 200mm f/4 lens becomes a 400mm f/8 lens. Hint: Use a tripod! A sheet of white poster board can serve as a reflector, and double as a windbreak--very handy when shooting flowers and such. A sheet of black poster board can be used to block harsh sunlight.

Everyone loves the look of sun-drenched, golden skin, but the effects that sun exposure and tanning beds can have on your skin are anything but lovely. Tanning poses a risk for excessive exposure that can cause painful sunburns that ache, blister and peel. In addition, the ultraviolet rays found in sunlight and tanning beds destroy vital proteins in your skin and cause cellular changes that lead to the development of skin cancer. In fact, 90 percent of cancerous melanomas are caused by ultraviolet light. Sunless tanning is an appealing option due to its safety, but many people shy away from self-tanners because they worry about unnatural results. The NUXE Prodigieux collection offers the finest sun-free tan available on the market today.

CONTACT: David Carlson, president, 352-846-0171 or firstname.lastname@example.org INDIANAPOLIS — The Society of Professional Journalists on Friday called upon the Pentagon to discontinue the practice of channeling propaganda disguised as news reports to Iraqi media. In recent days the Los Angeles Times and The New York Times reported that the Pentagon has a $5 million contract with the Lincoln Group, a Washington public relations firm, to translate supposed news stories written in the Pentagon into Arabic and to seek to have them placed in Iraqi print and broadcast media. The two newspapers also reported that Iraqi journalists are being paid to carry pro-U.S. news reports. The reports do not allege that the Pentagon-crafted news articles are false, but that they are one-sided, reflecting only a pro-U.S. slant. The Pentagon campaign comes even as the U.S. State Department is seeking to train Iraqi journalists in the Western concepts of objective journalism and an independent, free press. “This stinks,” said SPJ President David Carlson, who is on the journalism faculty at the University of Florida. “Passing off propaganda as news is a heinous practice, one that all Americans should detest and protest.” Robert Buckman, co-chair of SPJ’s International Journalism Committee and a journalism professor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, said such a practice differs little from that practiced in authoritarian regimes in the Third World. “Paying journalists to run favorable news reports about the government, or not to run stories embarrassing to the government, has long been a practice endorsed by governments from Mexico before the reforms of the 1990s to China” he said. “Is this the kind of democracy that young Americans, including my own son, have been fighting to implement in Iraq? I would hope not. The Pentagon must see the folly of risking what little credibility it has with such an ill-advised scheme.” Gary Hill, chair of SPJ’s ethics committee, pointed out the absurdity of having American taxpayers paying both to train Iraqis about proper ethical standards and to subvert those principles at the same time. “Even if the stories are largely true, you lose all credibility with your readers as soon as they figure out you’re being paid to run so-called news stories.” The Society of Professional Journalists calls upon the Bush administration to renounce this practice and put an end to it for once and for all. The Society of Professional Journalists works to improve and protect journalism. SPJ is dedicated to encouraging the free practice of journalism and stimulating high standards of ethical behavior. Founded in 1909 as Sigma Delta Chi, and based in Indianapolis, SPJ promotes the free flow of information vital to a well-informed public, works to inspire and educate the next generation of journalists, and protects First Amendment guarantees of freedom of speech and press.

That`s got Monty Python written all over it. When they can`t storm the building with no ramp, the ADA SWAT team then begins to angrily attempt to penetrate the evil fortress by sending nasty text messages to the evil empire inside the building. But alas, the messages also can`t break through because the business does not meet ADA compliant text message standards either! Then, the door to the building opens and a five year old boy comes out, picks a flower, then runs back inside. And now for something completely different......... Okay...I agree with some of what has been said...and I personally don`t foresee any RAIDS happening over a site that isn`t compliant. I agree that requiring private companies to make their sites accessible is asinine...I DO believe that government sites should be though...and should be required to be. Having some law that requires it for private companies is definitely not the way to go...but I would have to say that for LARGE corporations that cater to LARGE populations (ie: Target, Walmart, etc.) why wouldn`t you want to be accessible??? Approximately 50 million disabled just in the US (and yes...I agree...some of those shouldn`t be on the list) and the approximately 600,000 legally blind (not visually impaired but completely blind) add an additional 2.4 million visually impaired in the US alone...that isn`t counting those around the globe...I would hardly say those are small pickins!? I agree it should continue to be a choice made by companies on their own grounds and in their own way. I don`t think that making a site accessible requires it to be of prehistoric programming (the internet has only been around for like 10-15 years). I hardly think it will set the internet back to the ice age!? Again though...my question is this...why wouldn`t you want to make your site accessible to as many people as possible!? I think you forget that along with the 2.4 million who are visually impaired you have to add to that the other estimated 70 million who are disabled or mobility challenged across the globe!! No offense...but that hardly seems like a SMALL amount of people!! Again...I fully agree that it should not be REQUIRED to do such changes...but dude...why the wouldn`t you WANT to!? You are basically alienating, at the VERY minimum, 2.4 million Americans (doesn`t include the rest of the world) from your site and thus your products or services! Aren`t we in this game of business to ATTRACT clients and customers!? Don`t we spend the stupid amount of time and money on creating websites so we can attract more clients and customers? One principle that seems to be lost in this conversation is the tyranny of the majority. Just a few decades ago, inter-racial marriage was not just frowned upon by the majority. Civil rights as well. It`s pretty easy to be a rich, white male, and believe that the needs of the few should not override the rights of everyone else. In fact, it`s generally easier to be a straight white male than a man or woman of any color. There is so much institutional discrimination in this country that legislation is sometimes required to protect people from the majority. I hear a lot of Rush Limbaugh in some of the comments made here, and America needs fewer people like him. Not more. On the other hand, we don`t need laws for everything. But that does assume that people are willing to make changes when someone speaks up. There would be no laws against sexual harrassment without the act of sexual harrassment. If more businesses were simply considerate ... perhaps the ADA would not be necessary. But you know what a lot of people hear when they ask for safe passage through society? A chorus of "f*** off". The white male aristocracy in this country - not all of it - has an astonishing sense of entitlement. Target.com was the subject of a lawsuit brought under the ADA. This is a 25 billion dollar company that can`t make its web site accessible? Maybe the CEO of Target should take a few less flights on that jet of his.

FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES Retirement benefits are subject to federal income tax (except for Accidental Disability retirement). However, if you paid tax on any of your contributions to the retirement system, the portion of your monthly benefit representing a return of those previously-taxed contributions is not taxable. If you live in New Jersey, your retirement benefit is not subject to New Jersey State income tax until you recover in pension checks the amount of the contributions which you made while working. If you live outside of New Jersey, check with your home state's tax office to determine if your pension is taxable in your state of residence. To Learn More...

Quietly, the Saddleback Ridge Wind Project is moving forward. Patriot Renewables of Quincy, Mass., the developer behind the project, said Wednesday it will put in place lower nighttime sound limits in accordance with a court ruling earlier in the week. That means the windmill noise levels will be kept at 42 decibels or less instead the previously allowed level of 45. Saddleback Ridge Wind will be located in Carthage and will consist of 12 wind turbines, each with a rated capacity of about 2.85 megawatts, according to Patriot Renewables literature. The project has a total capacity of 34.2 megawatts and will produce more than 100 million kilowatt-hours of clean emission-free, renewable energy, or enough to power approximately 16,000 homes. Construction is expected to begin later this year, with completion expected in mid-2014. "Patriot Renewables and Saddleback Ridge Wind are fully prepared to comply with the newer sound limits," Todd Presson, chief operating officer for Patriot Renewables, said. "Despite the fact that these sound levels were not in place when this project was originally permitted, we are prepared to abide by the ruling of the Law Court and are encouraged by the decision regarding the other points of the appeal." The Maine Supreme Judicial Court on Tuesday vacated a decision by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection over nighttime sound requirements for the project. Writing for the court, Justice Warren Silver said the nighttime decibel level should be 42 or below. Patriot Renewables issued a statement late Wednesday in response to the ruling. "At the end of the day, this is about creating clean energy, making responsible investments — both in terms of economics and the environment, and putting people to work building this project," Presson said. "We are happy to be making these investments in Western Maine and look forward to breaking ground."

Pop singer Tien Fu-chen (田馥甄), commonly known as Hebe of the hugely popular group S.H.E, made much-anticipated debut solo appearances at sold-out concerts at Legacy Taipei (傳音樂展演空間) over the weekend. Apart from delivering an evening of enchanting music, Tien also provided the rare spectacle of a pop idol transforming into an adult crooner right before audiences’ eyes. For the legions of S.H.E pop fans in the know, this metamorphosis was a savored event. Tien, who last month took a break from S.H.E. to release her solo album titled To Hebe, embarked on the weekend’s concerts with a 24-song set. Besides performing 10 songs from her own album, Tien spent the evening tackling everything from Brit-pop to dream pop and jazz to rock, and showed just how wide her range is. “I want to show who Tien Fu-chen is and what my preferences are with this concert,” Tien explained in an introductory speech. The girl “with the personality” in S.H.E, Tien prefers sophisticated material. She kicked off the show with a rock version of To Hebe’s anthemic first single, Love? “I love you, you love her, she loves him ... how come no one loves himself or herself in this world?” The lyrics underline Tien’s philosophy. In contrast to the majority of Mando-pop ballads, which focus on unconditional love, Tien believes in loving herself first. After the opening song, Tien marched into the Beatles’ Come Together. Sporting a ponytail and covered by a cape, she swayed back and forth and pouted her lips. Though too sweet and cute to carry off rock’s defiant attitude convincingly, Tien’s personality and vocal delivery conveyed the song’s message well. Part of the evening’s entertainment was watching how this usually polished performer was suddenly struck speechless. Instructed by her label to interact with the audience between songs, Tien attempted some banter, but said, “I don’t know what to say anymore,” even before she’d got to the fifth song. Later on, she forsook the interaction and devoted herself to singing. She tackled Katy Perry’s feminism-lite I Kissed a Girl before delivering an acoustic version of Jolin Tsai’s (蔡依林) Dancing Diva (舞孃), which she imbued with more mischievousness and dramatic punch than the original. Tien sang Coldplay’s Trouble and James Blunt’s You Are Beautiful before sinking her teeth into Lisa Ekdahl’s version of the jazz standard Cry Me a River. Whether attempting Brit rock, Blunt’s entrancing chorus, or emulating the improvisational flourishes of jazz, Tien evoked the right mood and was pitch perfect. As a solo act, the singer is demure and shy. S.H.E bandmate Selena (Chinese name Jen Chia-hsuan, 任家萱) was on hand to provide some comic relief by delivering a well-timed teasing routine halfway during the show. During the second half of the evening, Tien paid tribute to her two Mando-pop idols: Sandee Chan (陳珊妮) and Faye Wong (王菲). She performed Chan’s Love Song (情歌) before emulating Wong’s signature groaning vocals on Dr. Blind (by Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton) and Ha Ha (by Emiliana Torrini). Audience members, many of whom were in their 20s and early 30s, displayed their appreciation of Tien’s brave and competent gig with passionate applause. While the evening’s song list was overly ambitious, no one could doubt her versatility as a singer. Tien will perform in Hong Kong on Nov. 6 at the Hong Kong International Trade & Exhibition Centre — Star Hall (國際展貿中心—匯星). Visit www.hkticketing.com for ticketing information.

Thanks for shopping! All parts listed above are in stock unless stated otherwise. The only items I have for general sale are listed above or advertised somewhere, so if you have to ask this, the answer is almost certainly “no.” Please don’t ask if I have random capacitors, resistors, wire, cases, etc. not listed above. Sorry, no, I currently offer no kits. I have in the past, but only for projects where I was able to come up with a single set of parts that I thought would meet the needs of the majority of people building the project. The headphone amplifier circuits, in particular, are designed to be very flexible in regards to parts selection. The project pages for each of these has extensive guidance for selecting parts, so please read through that to help pick your parts. If you are paying via Paypal, most of the shipping address fields above are disabled because I only need a few of them to calculate the shipping cost. You will select your complete shipping address when paying the Paypal bill. It’s no problem if you want me to send your package to an address other than your “confirmed” Paypal address. Before you pay the bill, log into your Paypal account, and go to the Profile section. There, you will be able to enter an alternate shipping address. When paying the bill, you will be able to select that address. Within the US, I prefer to use USPS Priority Mail because it usually only takes 2-3 days, and I can send almost any package for just $6. For the patient and cost-conscious, I recommend First Class mail, which can cost less than half that for a light package. For international packages, Priority Mail costs US $20 to Canada and $24 to the rest of the world. Delivery time is typically a week or two. First Class is much cheaper, though highly variable in cost because it’s priced per ounce, rather than being flat-rate. It typically costs ¼ to ½ the Priority rate for the same package. In exchange for that, delivery time is a bit slower. For those in a really big hurry or who must have decent tracking, I offer Express Mail. It’s usually at least twice the cost of the next cheaper service, and can be a lot more. It’s only a good value in comparison with the private courier services of UPS or FedEx. You may request some other service by choosing the “custom” option above, and stating which service you’d like in the Comments field. Understand when you do this that you’re second-guessing my expert opinion on the best services to use. I have offered non-USPS services in the past, but came to realize that they’re a poor value, their superior service more than offset by multiple extra costs. Not only is the actual service charge higher compared to comparable service from USPS, I have to drive much farther to get to drop-off points that close at a reasonable hour and have to do much more paperwork to use these services. I have no qualms about passing these costs on to you. If you are in the US and use First Class or Priority Mail service, you will get a delivery confirmation number via email when I ship the package. This is not a “tracking number” because it’s only good for telling when the package has been delivered. (Thus the name.) You can’t even reliably use it to tell when the package has been shipped; however, in almost every case, a package does get mailed the same day the label for it is printed, and if not that day, then the next for sure. If you need actual point-by-point tracking, you need to step up to Express Mail. This will at least quadruple your shipping cost, though. If you are outside the US, the situation is much the same, except that delivery confirmation doesn’t exist. You can get tracking via Express Mail, but it’s awfully expensive. This is why I recommend choosing First Class mail above. Tracking generally isn’t worth it for international shipments. Some people have asked if I will mark international packages as a “gift,” or underdeclare the contents’ value, so they are charged lower customs/duties for the package. Sorry, I will not do this. Please do not ask. There is a 5% discount for orders over $100, not including shipping. The discount rises to 10% at $250, and 15% at $500. This space intentionally left blank. :) |Go to my home page|

If a life of wine, women and song becomes too much, give up the singing. –Anonymous There’s something about clinking glasses filled with a red colored liquid that sets a sexy scene for Valentine’s Day. Gazing over a brimming goblet at a lover’s face primes us for romance and whatever else might arise. Assuming these aphrodisiac qualities create the craving, it’s no wonder wine historically flies off the shelves on Valentine’s Day. And there are so many other passion-driving qualities wine possesses. Wine makes us giddy with youthful energy; causes us to say sappy things and mean them; magnifies a sensual moment; and makes everything taste oh-so much better. It’s pretty amazing how a thoughtfully chosen bottle of wine can increase the pleasure of a simple Valentine’s meal tenfold, no matter what the cost. Remember that on romantic holidays, it really is the thought that counts. For many people, pink Champagne is the quintessential Valentine’s Day wine — romantic for its tiny stars floating to the top, soft color and rarity. To attain the famous rose color, a small amount of Pinot Noir wine is added at the blending stage after the first fermentation. Not much of this is around, so it’s pricier than most sparklers. But a nice bottle of red is equally sensual, with its warming, languorous affect. But why wine’s romantic reputation? There are plenty of theories, but one is that society crafted it so. Wine descriptors are rife with romantic adjectives like silky, smooth and velvety, and winemakers are treated as artists since they pour their heart and soul into each bottle. No other edible item reflects its producer’s personality as much as a bottle of wine. But I think it’s really that wine gives you that ultra-relaxed, open-to-anything feeling; a buzz different than most alcoholic beverages. So whether you’re creating a meal for that special someone, or treating him/her to a night on the town, remember it’s not the price that counts, it’s the love in the bottle. Recommended WinesJustin 2000 Cal Italia Smooth talking Italian grapes like Sangiovese define this yummy light blend from California’s Central Coast.

Cinnabar 2000 Mercury Rising A Bordeaux blend — meaning a blend of grapes that all hail from that French region — this fruit forward, ripe cherry, delicious juice will definitely make the mercury rise. The flavors linger so long, they grab your tongue and don’t let go. Truly a bargain at around $18. 4 1/2 stars.

Anime fans have this funny way of being able to fetishize almost anything. Eyeglasses, weapons, musical instruments, headphones – these are just a few things used to elevate the appeal of anime characters. Intrinsic aspects of the characters themselves also lend themselves well to infatuation – various anime fans may prefer different personality types, hairstyles, skin color … and of course, breast sizes. Characters span the gamut of bust sizes, from impossibly large to flat as a flyover state, and many people have strong opinions as to which they like best. Nymph is placed firmly at the smaller end of the scale. However, even though her endowment is humble, FREEing’s Nymph still makes a strong argument for that old maxim that bigger is better. Nymph is one of the major characters of the manga and anime series Sora no Otoshimono, localized in the United States as Heaven’s Lost Property. She’s the second angeloid to be introduced, following main female character Ikaros. While Ikaros’s is a low-key, soft-spoken young woman, Nymph possesses a conventional tsundere temperament. She initially displays a haughty, abrasive disposition before falling in love with lead male Tomoki, as is inevitable in these sorts of shows. Being that I don’t really like the tsundere archetype, I did not like Nymph very much at first, but after her backstory was revealed, I became more sympathetic. She gets kicked around and roughed up quite a bit and those scenes are pretty hot, so I found myself liking her more and more as the story progressed. I liked the first season of Sora no Otoshimono far more than Forte, the second season, and I liked the earlier episodes of Sora no Otoshimono better than the later ones. I thought that Ikaros’s interaction with Tomoki was more interesting than Nymph’s (though I might say that Mikako is the most interesting female character of all in the show). As strange as this comparison sounds, the show reminded me a bit of the old Calvin and Hobbes comic strip in the newspaper (older people might remember this strip; younger people might be wondering what a newspaper comic strip is). Tomoki is a bit like Calvin in being a scheming social misfit with only the most tenuous attachment to reality, and Ikaros was a bit like Hobbes in that she’s the levelheaded partner who nonetheless facilitates Tomoki’s schemes rather than deterring him. Most importantly, Tomoki and Ikaros have a unique relationship that serves as the focal point of the series’s plot. Nymph’s introduction moves the focus away from that, and that seemed to damage the flow of the narrative. However, this is anime and capitalizing on commercial opportunities always takes precedence over the integrity of the storyline. More characters means more merchandising opportunities, and that explains why FREEing has made figures not just of Nymph, but also of Ikaros and third angeloid Astraea. The packaging says that this figure is derived from the movie Sora no Otoshimono: The Angeloid of Clockwork, where another angeloid character was introduced, and it’s curious that FREEing hasn’t shown off a figure of her. Then again, it’s also curious that we haven’t heard anything more of FREEing’s announced figures of Rana Linchen and Ganessa Roland from Freezing, even though they’ve exhibited preliminary designs for both. Like all of FREEing’s bunnygirl figures, Nymph is sculpted in God’s scale: 1/4 scale, the scale more figures should be made in. That implies she’s rather large but that number doesn’t express just how large. She’s 41 centimeters tall from the bottom of her high heels to the tip of her bunny ears, or about 36 centimeters tall to the top of her head. As her height is listed as 139 centimeters, her listed scale size is actually conservative, a very rare occurrence amongst figures. In contrast, Gift’s recent figure of Nanoha Takamachi was also listed as 1/4 scale, and being that Gift has made a number of 1/4 scale figures, they should know what 1/4 scale looks like, right? Well … Placed next to Nanoha, the size disparity between these two ostensibly 1/4 scale figures is obvious, even though both ought to be of similar stature. Despite the character’s petite physique, FREEing’s Nymph is humongous, almost comically so. FREEing has made a ton of bunnygirl figures, most of which have featured real fishnet stockings. The two other FREEing figures in my collection Satellizer el Bridget and Amane Shiratori – did as well, but Nymph breaks with that tradition by going bare-thighed. She’s wearing some oddly-cut knee-high socks along with a high-cut strapless leotard, both of which are trimmed with a sort of poofy, furry-looking plastic. And of course, she’s got some bunny ears. Her outfit and her ears are painted in a sort of lavender color, and I don’t know that I like it as much as I would have if her clothes were simply painted white. The drab purple color reminds me a bit of what sometimes happens when you mix white laundry with dark-colored clothing. I think that at the least, the furry trim should’ve been painted white. Aside from its color, though, her outfit looks great. I think this high-cut leg style is a lot sexier than the low-rise style that is very common amongst swimsuit figures. One aspect that I didn’t notice in the prototype shots is her leotard’s tightness; Nymph’s navel is clearly visible and her nipples are protruding just enough to be noticeable. They look great and add an element of eroticism to the figure. Continuing our study of her chest, Nymph is curiously more busty here than I remember her being. I seem to recall that she had a very modestly-sized chest in the anime, but here her breasts are quite visible, with noticeable cleavage. I wonder what flat-chest fans will make of that. Also surprising is the size and shape of her rear. Nymph’s pose displays her backside most prominently, and so it is a good thing that her ass is quite attractive indeed. Her buttocks are large and well-defined, despite her compact, loli-style body build. Nymph’s rear didn’t seem to be one of her major fetish points in the series, so it’s nice to see that the sculptor spent some time making certain that her ass looks right. Nymph’s wings are completely undetailed, though as I remember it, her wings are supposed to be wispy and filmy rather than feathery like Ikaros’s and Astraea’s, so perhaps that can be excused. Still, they aren’t what one would describe as one of the more beautiful aspects of the figure. As befits her contemptuous personality, Nymph’s face is locked into a pout. You can read multiple things into her expression; maybe she’s showing embarrassment, or annoyance, or disdain, or maybe this is just her natural look. FREEing’s Sora no Otoshimono bunnygirl figures have done a pretty good job reflecting the respective characters’ personalities; Ikaros has a bit of a confused look while Astraea evinces ditzy exuberance, and Nymph’s expression looks pretty much like you would expect her to look. All the angeloids wear collars with short chains, signifying their subservience to a master. If one finds this concept to be distasteful, or if one simply doesn’t like the way her collar looks, it can be taken off. Her head slides right off her neck, allowing her collar to be removed. I think she seems sort of naked without it. Well, she’s already pretty close to naked but the collar really ties her outfit together. Nymph’s pose and body shape have sort of a cylindrical look that her collar emphasizes, and without it her head starts looking too large for her shoulders. One of the curious realities of figure collecting is that 1/8 and 1/7 scale figures are often far more detailed than 1/4 scale figures. That’s still the case with Nymph; there isn’t a lot to her design, admittedly, but even so, the paintwork still has sort of a flat look to it, particularly with her hair, which doesn’t feature much shading or depth. That’s not to say her sculpting and paint look bad, it’s just that her large size makes such things more apparent. But even so, I like this figure quite a bit. Nymph looks quite sexy, with her nicely-sculpted chest and excellent-looking behind, and her small scowl is also appealing. Although I don’t necessarily have a big thing for lolis, I do like her body build, particularly her thighs, which look stout and muscular rather than skinny. Her outfit looks very nice as well, though its coloring isn’t as attractive as it could be. Overall, this isn’t a figure I would’ve bought had it been 1/8 scale or even 1/6 scale, but I think that size is an important quality in itself, and being 1/4 scale, I think Nymph looks great. Here’s Nymph next to Momohime, my standard 1/8 scale comparison figure since everybody owns her. As you can see, Momohime barely reaches up to Nymph’s ass. One of Nymph’s eyes is nearly as large as Momohime’s entire face.

Learning Pumpernickel--Now With Crumb Last week, I posted about my Horst Bandel bread from Hamelman's Bread. At first glance the crumb images looked good and the flavor was very good. However after some reflection on the bread and the process I decided my initial declaration of victory may have been over stated. While my first attempt was acceptable for a first try, I suspect I have much to learn about this style of bread. I have been having conversations with Mini and Andy (ananda) about the process and specifically the temperature profile to arrive at a well baked loaf. Along the way I have been talking with qahtan about puddings of various types. There was a most interesting thread on puddings which made me wonder if Pumpernickel isn't really just another steamed pudding without the fruits. After all you cook it in a closed pan at low extended heat and after wards stabilize the moisture by wrapping in towels. The word Pudding has me first thinking about chocolate or lime and a box of Jello but apparently the British and many other Europeans refer to steamed bread by the same term. I looked at some videos on how to make a proper Christmas Pudding. The example was shown placing a quantity of wet looking dough in a glass pan, covering it with parchment and foil, then tying a string around the foil cover. The whole thing gets placed in a hot oven and slowly cooked in a lowering oven to arrive at a well caramelized crumb, deep in color and full of flavor with a soft crust. That's exactly what I want for my Pumpernickel. So, to sum up. I discovered that the bottom of my crust from my first try was quite a bit drier and harder than the sides. I decided to place the pan on a wire roasting rack instead of directly on the hot stone. Thinking is that I'll get a less direct and harsh heat. I took my best guess on how much dough to load in the pan and let it proof. When it was again within 1/4 inch of the top, I removed some of the dough from the top as you can see in the photo. That shot is taken after proof and after I removed an additional amount. Next I placed a piece of parchment over the bread and slid the cover on. It was then weighted down with a cast iron griddle to be sure it didn't pop off again and also to be sure it was sealed. I made additional dough so I would have enough to try a glass pan at the same time. My thinking was that the thicker walls of the glass pan would temper the direct heat and not dry out the bottom crust. Also I had the chance to try out the paper/foil cover tied on with a string. The breads were loaded into a preheated 350F oven and baked as above for 30 minutes. At this time the heat was lowered to 250F for 2 hours. The final reduction was to 220F for another 6 hours approximately. At this time (6AM) I turned the oven off and let the heat coast down for the next 4 hours. The internal temp was 204F when I checked after the 6 hours at 220F. Both loaves popped out of the pan easily and were well shaped. They are now wrapped in a towel awaiting the Pumpernickel Fairy to tap me on the head and say they are ready to eat. I will post the crumb images when available. Some of these are a little out of order, sorry but they should make sense. I thought anyone who might be thinking of making this bread might like to see the steps I used to get this far. Added the Crumb Image by edit: The Pumpernickel Fairy made a low pass on the flight deck this morning and gave me a frown. It has been 24 hours since I wrapped the bread in a towel and placed it on the wire rack (thanks Mini). I unwrapped it and sliced off a few slices to see the results. First, I will now confess I made a mistake with the mix, which was in following the directions as written. On page 223 Item 4.) Mixing, Hamelman says "Add all the ingredients to the bowl, including the sour-dough and both of the soakers, but do not add any of the final dough water reserved from squeezing the liquid from the old bread soaker". I take that to mean that I should add the amount of water in the final dough segment of ingredients (page 222 bottom). The water amount is 12.8 Oz (1-5/8 cups). The first time I made this I with held that water and found I didn't need it. This time I needed an additional 16+ Oz of bread flour to get to a reasonable dough. The amount must be a misprint as I can not see where the differences in rye flours would make that much of a difference. JH goes on to say "It is entirely possible that no additional dough water will be required". So, bottom line is that this batch has way more white flour in it than was called for, percentage wise. It isn't nearly as flavorful as the last batch. The edges are hard now but they will soften up some after it has sat a day or so in a plastic bag. It has a nice flavor and my wife and are enjoying some with cream cheese. Turn the page and start over she said (Pumpernickel Fairy) Pleated paper over glass pan Proofed, removed some dough, ready to cover Wrapped and tied. In oven covered and weighted down Pullman ready to cover Covered with paper ready to bake After bake, paper is wet from steaming. Perfectly formed top. After bake, foil removed, wet paper. Clean slightly domed top. Side view of glass pan shows solid loaf. Turned over on board. Well shaped loaves I think this is the way they should look? Waiting for the Pumpernickel Fairy!

I stole it. Eric’s a pretty decent bloke. A retired teacher and UK import, he’s been living on our little block since 1968. Always quick with a wave or a clap on the back, he and his wife were first at our door to welcome us into the neighbourhood, gift-basket in hand. Since then, he’s been the consummate gentleman, nodding attentively when I’m describing my plans for the place, never intrusive, respecting our privacy but always politely interested in how we’re doing. The perfect neighbour: Fred Rogers could take lessons. On the other hand, I wouldn’t care if he was a semi-reformed axe-murderer with a peacock-sanctuary in the backyard and a penchant for three a.m. amateur bagpipe practice – he’s got a pickup truck.

Published Saturday, February 16, 2013 WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) – Robert Carter Jr. hit two free throws with 8.7 seconds left, and Georgia Tech held off a last-chance shot by Wake Forest for a 57-56 victory on Saturday. Marcus Georges-Hunt finished with 16 points, Daniel Miller had 15 and Carter 10 for the Yellow Jackets (14-10, 4-8 Atlantic Coast Conference), who trailed most of the second half after leading by three points at the halftime break. C.J. Harris and Travis McKie scored 15 points each for the Demon Deacons, who overcame 29.2 percent shooting (14 of 48) to lead by as many as five points midway through the second half. Despite the poor shooting, Wake Forest led 56-53 on a McKie 3-pointer with 1:19 left. But Georges-Hunt hit a 3 with 1 minute left to pull Georgia Tech within a point. After McKie missed an open 3-pointer with 30 seconds left, Georges-Hunt missed a driving dunk attempt that would have put the Yellow Jackets ahead. But Carter came down with the rebound and was fouled going up for a follow, setting up his game-winning free throws. The Demon Deacons had one last shot, but Georges-Hunt knocked a crosscourt pass by Harris out of bounds with 2.2 seconds left. Devin Thomas, who had 12 rebounds and nine points, then missed an 18-foot jumper at the buzzer. It was Georgia Tech's second straight road ACC win after dropping its first four games, while Wake Forest has now lost two straight and six of its last seven games. While the Demon Deacons had their problems shooting, so did Georgia Tech in the second half. After making nearly 45 percent of its attempts in the first half, the Yellow Jackets hit just 9 of 27 (33.3 percent) over the final 20 minutes. Behind Georges-Hunt (seven points) and Miller (six points), Georgia Tech shook off a slow start and took advantage of Wake Forest's poor shooting to take a 30-27 halftime lead. The Demon Deacons led 7-3 in the first two minutes, and held the lead two other times in the first half, the last at 16-15 on Thomas' layup with 9:34 remaining. Wake Forest shot just 29.2 percent (7 of 24) in the half, but hit 3 of 10 on 3-pointers and 10 of 11 free throws. Meanwhile, while the Yellow Jackets struggled at the free throw line (2 of 6), they hit 13 of 39 (44.8 percent) from the field. That allowed Georgia Tech to stay close, and eventually pull ahead by 30-25 on Miller's jumper with 1:12 left. Still, the Yellow Jackets could have led by an even bigger margin, giving away a possible seven points off of missed free throws and scoring chances in the first half. First, Mfon Udofia missed a pair of free throws and Georgia Tech failed to score on the possession when Arnaud Williams Adala Moto was called for a flagrant foul at the 15-minute mark. Then, Solomon Poole missed two free throws after Demon Deacons coach Jeff Bzdelik was called for a technical foul with 12:27 left. © 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

However I managed to pull it off, last week was sweet. Check this out: I was the keynote speaker at a dinner honoring cancer survivors. I told my story about my experience with cancer and what I now do both with music and working for the American Cancer Society to support the cause. I also performed the song I co-wrote for the Relay for Life Luminaria ceremony called "Every Candle Has A Name." It was the North Fulton Survivors Dinner, at the lovely Roswell River Landing, funded by the kind people from ADP, with excellent food donated by the kind people from Outback. |The view, from the deck| |My view, while performing music| |The event begins| |The survivors and caregivers| After many months of effort, my team successfully launched a new version of the American Cancer Society's flagship website, cancer.org, in an effort to make using the site easier and better. On the same day, I traveled to Seattle with two great friends and talented musicians to meet up with two more great friends and talented musicians to rehearse late at night for two shows later that week. Enjoyed a day with friends in Seattle. |Though technically not in Seattle, Adam, Lee, and I stop at a Casino to catch Wade performing with another band.| |In front of the original Starbucks.

Sound of Music explored the links between art, sound and music. Featuring 30 works in a variety of media, artists included John Cage, Turner Prize winner Jeremy Deller, Turner Prize nominee Angela Bulloch and Pierre Huyghe, all selected from the collection of the FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais in Dunkirk. Our Project Space was the the only UK venue to host this exciting multi-media exhibition. Art & Language / Robert Barry / Johanna Billing / Black Noise /Manon de Boer /George Brecht / Angela Bulloch /John Cage / Ellen Cantor & John Cussans / Francois Curlet & Michel Francois / Jeremy Deller / Cerith Wyn Evans / Ryan Gander / Babak Ghazi / Pierre Huyghe / Scott King / Vera & Francois Molnar / Laurent Montaron / Dennis Oppenheim / Allen Ruppersberg / Meredyth Sparks / Jan Vercruysse / La Monte Young & Marian Zazeela The exhibition included the experiments in sound and composition of key figures such as La Monte Young and John Cage who introduced the idea of chance into musical composition. Language and text came together in Allen Ruppersberg's The Singing Posters (2003-05) an installation of poetry excerpts and advertisements printed onto brightly-coloured billboards. Sculptural works by George Brecht, Angela Bulloch and Pierre Huyghe encouraged active participation. Visitors were invited to play the 200 chimes suspended that made up Huyghe's work which was based on a musical score written by John Cage. Aspects of popular culture were explored in Turner Prize winner Jeremy Deller's blackboard drawing History of the World (1996) and Ellen Cantor and John Cussan's documentary-style video Whitby Weekender Dance Lesson (2006). Other artworks in the exhibition shared an interest in myth-making, fan culture and the mechanics of the star system such as Scott King's series of prints in which historic moments in the mythologies of rock bands were reduced to pure graphics. Johanna Billing's video installation Magical World (2005) was the result of a collaboration between the artist and a group of children at an after-school music club in Dubrava, Croatia, who were shown rehearsing Sidney Barnes' 1968 song of the same title, presenting a poignant glimpse of a country in transition. Alongside Sound of Music we presented Crossroads (2009), an installation by David Blandy whose work was also included in the exhibition Far West. Crossroads began as an investigation into the mythology surrounding the legendary Robert Johnson, a bluesman with three gravestones, 29 recorded songs and only two known photographs, who reputedly sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads. Filmed in the heat of the Mississippi Delta, Crossroads was in part a portrait of a landscape still deeply, though not officially, segregated. The film followed a man with a guitar, the Blues Legend, on his journey to the crossroads to recover his lost soul. Crossroads was an Arts Council England National Touring Commission initiated by Spike Island and supported by 176, Zabludowicz Collection.

ROBERT DEWITT: ‘Bear’ can rest a little bit more peacefully now Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 3:30 a.m. Last Modified: Tuesday, February 5, 2013 at 7:14 p.m. TUSCALOOSA | When I think back on that winter and spring 30 years ago, the image that always comes to mind is bleakness. I was living in a basement level apartment with gun-slit windows that seemed perpetually cold. Very little light got in, anyway, and what did seemed to get absorbed into the dark, sheet-paneled walls and ugly green carpet. Campus always goes through a transformation from fall to winter. What was once lively and colorful suddenly seems drab and lifeless. Bare branches frame everything. Instead of lingering in sunny spots between classes wearing colorful clothing like songbirds looking for a mate, students take direct lines between buildings, tightly clad in drab, heavy winter coats. It seemed particularly bleak on that late January day when I stood on the curb in front of Bryant-Denny Stadium and watched the hearse roll past. I don’t know why every Alabama fan in America didn’t want to stand exactly where I was on that day. But there was plenty of room. Of course, the news cameras wanted to shoot pictures of the hearse rolling past the stadium where Coach Paul W. “Bear” Bryant had spent so many successful Saturday afternoons. So you can see me in a good many of the video and photo images, standing there in my L.L. Bean overcoat with the fur collar, my hand over my heart. I didn’t know what else to do with my hands, and I didn’t have a hat to take off and hold over my heart. So I’m standing there looking like I’m saying the pledge of allegiance with no flag anywhere to be seen. I’m not crying like a lot of the people you see in the videos. I’d done that the night that I found out he died, embarrassingly in front of my roommate. I’d been fine when he handed me a straight shot of whiskey and told me the news. But when I called my parents to tell them the news, the tears came. It’s not like I knew him personally. The two up-close encounters I’d had with him certainly left no impression on him. The first was as a freshman during the annual melee that was called “registration.” Students swarmed what was then called “Memorial Coliseum” trying to secure their classes for the coming semester. They jostled and pushed and gave ground to no one. And yet suddenly they parted as miraculously as the Red Sea before the Israelites. I heard a hushed muttering, saw the people stepping back so that he could pass and then he strode past me, giant-like, taller than everyone else with a big smile that a 35-6 licking of Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl had put on his face. The other was when I interviewed him in his office. Everything about the experience made me feel inadequate. I felt like the baby-blue Izod sweater I wore made me look like a sissy. I couldn’t get my hand around his enormous, hard, calloused farmer’s paw to properly grip it for our handshake. I overstayed my welcome and he got annoyed. Listening to the tape of the interview years later and comparing notes with other reporters, I found out my experience was par for the course — not nearly as bad as I thought. No matter how distant he was, he seemed close to us who loved Alabama football at that time. I felt vaguely responsible for what had happened, almost as if I had abandoned my post at a critical moment. I moved to Louisiana in 1982 for my first real job, and while I was gone, the entire Alabama football empire came unraveled. And within a month of my return to graduate school, the emperor was dead. People who don’t belong to our particular football fraternity don’t really understand how we felt about him and why losing him affected us the way that it did. Some think we’re like the South American Indians who carried the mummified remains of their fiercest king into battle before them. Pat Dye once exhorted his Auburn team not to be in awe of Alabama, that the team wasn’t magic. Then he added that there had been magic but it had died with “Coach Bryant.” It did seem that way — that he was more than a great football coach; that he could actually conjure victories. And when he adopted the wishbone offense it was like that was his incantation. But there was something else, too, maybe connected to that magic, maybe not. I recently watched a DVD of an old “Bear Bryant Show” from the 1970s. And it was as if a piece of what I’m talking about was trapped in that DVD. It came though from that hokey show with the glass bottles of Coca Cola, and Dub Taylor cackling on the commercials about Golden Flake having “Southern fried crunch” and, of course, in Bryant’s mumbled digressions. There was something in it that was comforting to those of us who love Alabama football. It was like going to your grandparent’s house and everything that was there, the furnishings, the food and especially the people, made it the best place to be in the world. Then, after he died, it was like going back to that house after the people were dead and gone and everything is still in the same place, but the life essence of it is gone. That was what we missed from Alabama football after he was gone. It took us a long time to figure out that it was never going to be the same. We had to get used to the idea that it was going to be different. But that didn’t mean it couldn’t be good. And now, 30 years later, we realize that it can be different and still be really good — great, in fact. Those of us who remember him will always miss him. But I think we’ve reached a point where we can let him rest a little bit more peacefully. Robert DeWitt is senior writer for The Tuscaloosa News. Readers can email him at robert. All rights reserved.

Smith County Fire Marshal Jim Seaton said a neighbor heard loud pops, looked out a window and saw the home on fire. Seaton said Gladewater firefighters arrived about 3:30 a.m. Monday and found flames engulfing the home. A search began after authorities determined a car on the property belonged to the victim and her husband. “The husband was found in Good Shepherd Hospital, where he has been undergoing treatment for an unrelated matter. We did however, find her body in the debris,” he said. Seaton said the woman, Sandra Rowell, was found adjacent to a chair in the back bedroom. Fire departments from Jackson and Winona also responded. Seaton said Mrs. Rowell's body was sent for an autopsy. The fire's cause remained under investigation.

Habitat for Humanity Our group currently works in conjunction with the Dayton Ohio Habitat for Humanity (DOHH) on housing projects around the greater Dayton area. We have weekly worksites that go out Saturday mornings at 8 a.m and afternoons at noon. See the "get involved" page for more information about joining on worksites. We usually build one to two houses from start to finish each school year and also work on many side projects for other houses in the area. Other events that we participate in include a Collegiate Challenge Spring Break trip, various fundraisers throughout the school year, monthly socials, and other service opportunities on and off the University of Dayton's campus. Our weekly meetings are held on Thursdays at 7:00 pm in Art Street Studio C. Habitat for Humanity is an international service organization. Its mission is to eliminate all poverty housing in the world. This mission is accomplished in three ways. First, ordinary people like you and me can volunteer their time at a worksite building a house for a family in need. Secondly, people like you and I raise money for Habitat that, in conjunction with grants from the government, pay for the materials used in building these houses. Lastly, Habitat is a hand up, not a hand out. The family receiving the house also pays a no interests mortgage for the material costs. Now you ask yourself, "But if I raised money to pay for the house, and the family pays for it too, doesn't the house get paid for twice?" And you would be right, and that's the idea. This allows Habitat to grow exponentially, and also, isn't it quite cool that after a family receives a house they help pay for the home of another family? So whose idea was this? Well, a common misconception is that Jimmy Carter was the founder of Habitat for Humanity, but while Carter has been instrumental in the growth and political support of Habitat for Humanity, it was in fact Millard Fulller who founded Habitat for Humanity. Since Habitat's founding, Fuller's leadership has helped forge Habitat into a worldwide Christian housing organization. As a demonstration of God's love, Habitat volunteers have built homes together with more than 100,000 families in need in more than 1,500 U.S. cities and 82 other countries. HFHI has grown to be one of the top 20 house builders in the U.S. -- and the largest among nonprofits. More than 500,000 people now have safe, decent, affordable shelter due to Habitat's work around the world. Fuller founded Habitat with his wife Linda in 1976. He travels and speaks worldwide, and has received international recognition for his work in advocating decent, affordable housing for all. HFHI is cited as an important leader in the battle against poverty housing in the U.S. and abroad. President Bill Clinton says Habitat is "...the most successful continuous community service project in the history of the United States. It has revolutionized the lives of thousands... Millard Fuller has done as much to make the dream of home ownership a reality in our country and throughout the world as any living person." Jack Kemp, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and current HFHI board member, agrees, adding "When I'm asked about housing success stories from our inner cities, the first group that comes to mind is Habitat for Humanity." "I see life as both a gift and a responsibility. My responsibility is to use what God has given me to help His people in need."

Conference underscores young people’s leadership in HIV prevention 27 August 2010 The role of young people in improving the state of the world took centre stage at this week’s World Youth Conference in Leon, Mexico. Over five days, delegates from 112 countries—including 25 000 youth and representatives from government, civil society and the United Nations—shared ideas on young people’s involvement in achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). With an estimated 40% of new HIV infections occurring among people aged 15-24, a youth-centered approach to the AIDS response will be critical to meet MDG 6—halting and reversing the spread of HIV—and to ensure efforts are sustained in the long term. In a video message to young delegates, UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibé said that young people had the power to shape a future with zero new infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths. “Each of you is a driving force for change and development in your own countries,” he said. “Together you are an incredible movement that is shaping the future of the world.” Of the 33.4 million people living with HIV worldwide, some 5 million are young people. An estimated 2500 young people become newly infected with HIV each day. The epidemic has taken a particularly devastating toll on the lives of young women, who account for 66% of infections among youth worldwide. Empowering young people to protect themselves from HIV represents one of UNAIDS’ ten priority areas, with the overall goal of a 30% reduction in new HIV infections by 2015. At a joint workshop on HIV and young people, UNAIDS and UNFPA introduced a new “business case” outlining successes to date in the HIV response among youth and areas for improvement. Through the workshop, young delegates were invited to offer their perspectives on the relevance and application of the business case at the national level. Evidence-based information and HIV services, including sexual and reproductive health, were highlighted as critical to reducing infection among young people. Many participants voiced concern over reaching young people with effective HIV prevention messages. “As we are still young and exploring, we may get into risky behaviors,” said Rodriguez Gastelum, a youth participant from Mexico who attended the workshop. “Correct information on HIV is the first step—that will protect us.” Less than 40% of young men and women have access to accurate knowledge about HIV transmission—far short of the 95% target set in the UNGASS Declaration of Commitment for the year 2010. In developing countries, excluding China, only 30% of young men and 19% of young women benefit from comprehensive information on HIV. Despite challenges, there are signs of progress. A new study from UNAIDS has reported a more than 25% drop in HIV prevalence among young people in 15 countries heavily affected by the AIDS epidemic. “Simply put, young people are leading a prevention revolution all over the globe,” said Dr. César Nunez, Director of the UNAIDS Regional Support Team for Latin America, in a health-focused session at the conference. “The empowerment of young people has led to changes in sexual behavior. Young people are choosing to have sex later, with fewer partners, and they are using condoms.” Earlier this month, the UN launched the International Year of Youth, an initiative designed to increase youth participation in global development issues and enhance inter-cultural dialogue and understanding across generations. At a launch event in New York City, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged young people across the world to look beyond the borders of their own countries: “Engage with the world. Become a global citizen,” he said. “We are the leaders of today. You are the leaders of tomorrow.”

Repairing Daniel Beard's Shattered Elbow Meet Our Doctor When I was 12 years old, I had an unfortunate accident that resulted in me shattering my elbow, with fractures radiating up and down the rest of the bones in my arm. I went to several doctors in my area - I lived in Illinois - to get a diagnosis on my arm and most of them said that I would have no chance of leading a normal life again, even if they did attempt to fix it. However, one doctor said that, while he could not fix it properly, he knew someone who could and directed my parents and I to Dr. Kenneth Noonan at UW Hospital. When I got there, I was feeling very downtrodden because of what the other doctors had told me, but Dr. Noonan gave me hope again, since he looked at my x-rays and told me he could fix me. I regained my hope after that and it only grew stronger after the operation, when he told me how it went. I started out with lots of pins and wires in my arm, as well as a metal pole. Now I only have a screw in my joint and a fully functional elbow. The only evidence of me ever having my accident are the scars from the surgery. The staff at UW Health Orthopedics did what all other doctors I saw said was impossible and made it a reality. Because of their efforts, I am able to continue living my life like I was before my accident, which they will always have my gratitude for and the wish that they continue bringing hope back into people's lives.
