itb intensified vigor after the candidate's introduction by locke craig esq an elegant intro william jennings bryan democratic candidate for president mittee chairman hal w a\er of the ■populist state

came nil the way from greene county in east tennessee i bringing tim-i days rations the line f procession from the southern passenger station was up ivp.t street to patton avenue and thence direct to the battery park the ptreitr were liued nil along the way with men women and children eager to j i-e th j distinguished nebraskan flaps flying from windows and porches and the people who viewed the procession • from house-tope and those who packed ; the available standing-places along the route kept the candidate constantly bowing his head the stand from which bryan spoke was erected in a curve of southside avenue as the street bends around mc doweil hill the side of the hill had been a corn field and the people brought newspapers by the thousands spread them upon the corn hills and sat upon them comfortably the crowd formed an exceedingly pictuepque sight a gioup of color the women in their holliday attire relieving the denser blackness of the crowds of men th acoushc properties ofjflbj sj.ot were fuultless th^gfl wtiich m-nded no fl^fl v--ard curved y u - .' durtion by the way eloquent grace fully delivered and just of the right length after the prolonged outburst of wel come had subsided the speaker be gun : he baid : bryan's speech i have a reason for coming to north carolina which is personal aside from my interest in the electoral vot of this state it was the state of carolina which at chicago before i became a candidate before my own state had taken any formal part in pre senting my name — it was the state of north carolina which by resolution decided to give me aminiinoua vote of the north carolina delegation in that national convention great cheer ing i appreciate the honor which they have been willing to do me and therefore it gives me great pleasure to come among 1 these people whom they represented and what assistance i can if any assihtimoe be neeeded to secure the electoral vote of this state for the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 cheers i am glad the canvas of this state opens in this county which was the home of one of the grandest public given to this nation — not alone by north carolina but the entire country — sentor vance great ap p)ause he whom i rl'^^^^m talne of the other half which is in their hands the money-changers are pol luting the temple of our liberties to your tents oh igreal !" applause he foresaw the struggle in which we are now engaged he realized its magnitude when many others did not those words came from him as wjrds of command to your tents o is rael and the command heeded b the democratic party and they en gaged first in a warfare within the party to rescue that party and the party name from the hands of those who were using it to advance the interest not of democracy but of plutocracy applause it was a great contest i venture the assertion that never before in the history of this country did any party have such a contest within its rtn:k as that which ended at chicago i venture the assertion that never be fore in the history of this country have the voters themselves had so much to do with a conten tion as did the voters of the i democratic party with the conven tion at chicago this question was submitted to the voters the derao oerutic idea has been that the party is imt the instrument of chose who com pose it and derives itd power from the i will of the voters who number them selves members of that party yet it is often the case that the party machin ery or bosses have more to do with shaping the policy and making the nomination than the voters themselves i am proud to be the nominee of a convention which represented no machiue no bosses but the uupur ohaaed suffrage of the voters of this country great applause a few months ago the most sanguine demo crat did not believe that success this full was more than possible the most sanguine democrut felt that four years of gold standard administration had destroyed almost the possibility of suc cess but thevoterbof the democratic party deter mi ned to make one final fight and determined that if die the party must it should at least maintair the honor of those who believed in the right of tho people to govern them selves applause the result is just what it always is if people lay aside expeudiency and seek to do their duty and accept consequences in trying to right the democratic party won a possibility of sucoess which it never could have hoped for if it had consult ed expedience applause ) " * ♦ i for one said whenever our oppo nents would bring a pledge that the gold standard democrats would take it would be time enough to ask free bilver democrats e pledges i stated in answer j h^^fc that i would net huppojpb^prresideiit i man who womd in the presidential chair continue the present financial policy and mortgage tbe united states to english bondholders applause i said it because i meant it i may be wrong in my judgment because none of us are infallible but my judg ment is the only judgment that can control my conduct applause now when the secretary of the treasury de nounced me as a populist aud said 1 said i wouldn't support the nominee 1 replied that i did not expect him to support the nominee if he were a free silver man the time came when he was put to the test and the only dif ference between him and me was that i was candid enough to tell the people i would follow my conscience and he tried to control a convention and then bolted when he failed to do it gre;tt applause i have sent him no letter begging his support great laughter the highest compliment he can pay is to oppose me because then the world will know the secretary of the treas urer whom i appoint if i am elected will be as different from him as i can find great applause i do not dispute the right of any democrat to vote against tho chicago ticket if he thinks its success will im peril the country but what i aek is that these men who have been pretend ing to be democrats shall now when the democratic party has been rescued from the people's spoilers leave the name and not attempt to take that name with them into disgrace cries of right they call themselves true democrats no true democrat ever nominated one ticket for the pur pose of voting for another great applause the speaker continued in a sarcastic vein to poke fun at the indianapolis crowd calliug them assistant repub licans he made his previous argu ment that the republican party was really in favor of silver and bi-metal lism because it had declared for inter national bi-metallism then you will hear that under free coinage we would be flooded with sil ver until money would be so cheap we would not have any use for it aud when you have been frightened as bad ly as you can be that way they will tell you this cheap money will run the dear money out and it will take fifteen years with our ruints running at full capacity to make money enough to take the place of gold aud that will make money o scarce that a silver dol lar will be harder to get than a gold dollar laughter you can't have too little and too much all at once an opponent once put that proposition to me in a debate down iu alabama there i was 1,500 miles from home among strangers ] had to answer on the spur of the moment and i just blurted out i would make more > i^j^t ta|^^l_he hadn't tli^^w^m date was almost p irn ont the crowd wan so

in ke a dollar purchase a great de.il more by making them scarce an'd qu the other baud make the purchasing power less by making them plentiful it gannot be disputed that u money must keep pace w it h the population and j industries mr bryan produced some typewrit ten manuscript and read some extracts from a speech of senator sherman made on june r 1890 in which he ad vocatetmnci easing the

CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department issued an environmental review of the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline on Thursday that said the project was unlikely to increase the pace of Canadian oil sands development.
The 1,179-mile (1,900-km) pipeline would move 830,000 barrels per day of oil sands crude from Hardisty, Alberta, across the U.S. border to Steele City, Nebraska, where it would connect with a previously approved line.
The project has been held up for years in regulatory review by the U.S. government. Environmentalists and other critics have called on President Barack Obama to reject the plan, saying it could hasten climate change by promoting oil-harvesting methods in Alberta that produce high levels of carbon dioxide emissions.
Below are details of which groups would benefit and which would be disappointed from the State Department's conclusions.
** Transcanada Corp
Canada's No. 2 pipeline company first proposed the Keystone XL pipeline more than five years ago. Since then, regulatory delays and environmental opposition have pushed costs up to $5.4 billion.
A "clean" environmental review puts the company one step closer to construction and would likely hearten investors.
TransCanada stock was last up 1.32 percent at C$48.46 on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Friday.
** Oil sands producers
Committed shippers on Keystone XL, such as Suncor Energy Inc and Cenovus Energy Inc, are eager to see the pipeline built to help relieve congestion on export networks and help oil sands producers get better prices for their crude.
Bottlenecks in Alberta last year pushed the price of Canadian heavy crude more than $40 per barrel below the West Texas Intermediate benchmark.
** The Canadian government
Stephen Harper's Conservative government is a staunch supporter of the Keystone project and Alberta's oil sands industry, with the prime minister last year saying U.S. approval of the project should be a "no-brainer."
A clean environmental impact statement would vindicate the Canadian government's stance that the pipeline will not affect greenhouse gas emissions, and is important for jobs and energy security.
** Gulf Coast refiners
Owners of Gulf Coast refineries, North America's largest refining center, that are configured to run heavy crude would benefit from access to cheaper Canadian oil.
These companies include, among others, Exxon Mobil, Chevron Corp, Total, Valero Energy Corp, Royal Dutch Shell, LyondellBasell Industries and Phillips66 Partners LP.
Some Gulf Coast plants, like those run by PDVSA unit Citgo, or the Motiva plants run by Shell and Saudi Aramco, could continue to run large volumes of Venezuelan crude or Saudi crude.
The Gulf took about 100,000 barrels per day of Canadian crude in 2012, according to the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, out of total heavy crude imports of 2.2 million bpd.
** Contractors
U.S. engineering company Bechtel is handling engineering management, procurement and construction management of the project for customer TransCanada, according to Bechtel's website.
TransCanada has said Keystone XL will create 13,000 jobs in construction, management and inspection oversight.
** Environmentalists
Climate change campaigners have made pipelines, and Keystone XL in particular, the proxy for their battle against exploiting Alberta's oil sands, which they say use some of the most environmentally damaging production techniques on the planet.
** Crude-by-rail
Seemingly endless delays on the Keystone project have spurred more producers and midstream companies to start using rail to ship crude out of Western Canada.
Industry analysts estimate that about 200,000 barrels per day are loaded onto rail cars in Canada, but forecasts of how quickly volumes will rise vary depending on pipeline approvals.
If Keystone goes ahead demand to ship crude-by-rail could wane, to the detriment of unit train terminal operators like Canexus Corp and Torq Transloading, rail companies like Canadian Pacific and Canadian National, and rail car manufacturers like American Railcar Industries.
** Exporters of Latin American heavy crudes
Gulf Coast refiners are expected to replace heavy Latin American imports with cheaper Canadian imports. Venezuela in particular could suffer. To a lesser extent there may also be less demand for crude from Saudi Arabia.

I don't usually like to cross-post my book reviews from GoodReads because it feels like a cheat. But this book was–and is–important for anyone struggling with addiction. I know many people in all facets of my life who struggle themselves or have family members struggling, and I think the information Claudia Christian has in her biography about a possible cure (yes, you read that right) for addiction is a thing to take notice of. At the same time I felt mightly strongly about the book as a whole, and wanted to put my take on it as widely as possible, with the hope of discussing the book in the comments with anyone else who has either read this one or is familiar with the Sinclair Method. So I'm doing what I seldom do and copy-pasting from Goodreads.
This is what I thought of Claudia Christian's ghosted autobiography, Babylon Confidential. (It's a bit longer than my standard entry, so I've more-tagged it for the sake of the blog's front page.)
The farther I got into this book the more I kept feeling like I'd heard the story somewhere before. It just kept seeming more and more familiar as CC travelled the globe, slept with dozens of men, partied on Dodi Fayed's yacht and had abortion after abortion (some therapeutic, some spontaneous.)
Then I realised….this book is a very very long and prosaic version of that Charlene song "I've Never Been To Me." You know, the one where a washed up party girl harangues a housewife with tales of her bygone glory and wails about how out of touch her years of high living left her.
"Oh, I've been to
NieceNice and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me"
That's this book in a nutshell. Well, the first half of it anyway. (more…)

The Dairy Technology Center, sponsored by Bella Health Systems, will increase the already 500 dairy exhibits to more than 600. Showcased in the DTC will be the Top Five New Dairy Products at World Ag Expo, selected by a panel of industry experts.
The 2008 Expo will also introduce attendee electronic registration. Due to exhibitor requests, Expo leadership will work with a leading electronic registration company to register show attendees before they enter the grounds. Attendees will provide general demographic and production information and receive a printed badge for Expo entrance. The registration system will also enter attendees into a drawing for a 2008 Dodge truck and will act as admission to the West Coast Nationals Power Pulling Series in the evening.
To get a jump-start on business and browsing, the Expo will open at 8 a.m. in 2008. From the showcased products in the New Product Center to informative seminars, Ride and Drive demonstration areas, off-site farm tours, special Expo events and new product roll-outs; World Ag Expo is a three-day event packed with the tools and information farmers need to improve their operations.

How to Do Self-Hypnosis
By E.E. Kane
Can self-hypnosis help you through depression? Can you trick your mind to jump-start yourself into recovery? Experts say yes.
"Hypnosis is a form of meditation and daydreaming," says Virginia Clark, a hypnotherapist in private practice, as well as a licensed psychotherapist and trainer based in Ocala, Fla. She equates hypnosis to that trance-like state we experience while driving: We are often thinking so intently we suddenly realize we've passed our exit, with no recollection of the last 5 miles.
Clark uses hypnosis with her clients for problems such as trauma, abuse, stage fright or test anxiety. She says it can be used to overcome any problem, even depression.
Before you try self-hypnosis, consult your doctor or counselor about your depression to rule out a medical condition. The Mayo Clinic recommends hypnosis as a beneficial alternative therapy when under the direction of a trained, licensed hypnotherapist or a psychologist who has been trained to use hypnosis.
Here are Clark's seven basic steps:
Step 1: Explore the Process
Before you try self-hypnosis on your own, you need to understand what you are doing. Clark recommends reading up on the subject or taking a course.
"All hypnosis is self-hypnosis," she says. "It is simply intense focus. There is nothing mystical about it."
Some people fear hypnosis and the idea of being powerless under someone else's direction. This might be due to a misunderstanding about the hypnotic state.
"One is not asleep while in trance," Clark says. "One will not do anything they would not normally do while in trance. One cannot get 'stuck' in trance."
Step 2: Find a Quiet, Comforting Place
Your focus will be stronger if you choose to be alone in a place where you feel safe, such as your bedroom or den. Clark uses a comfortable chair in her home, and she dims her lights.
Step 3: Prepare a Script
Before you begin, you should prepare phrases, a written script or a tape of positive messages or truths you would like to believe. If you are feeling depressed, you might try positive messages such as "I am peaceful," or "I am happy" or "I am grateful for my health/family/friends." You will use this written script or tape when you achieve the "alpha," or trance-like, state.
Step 4: Use Mental Imagery
To begin your self-hypnosis, you will need a mental picture; it might be a calming, natural scene, such as a forest glade or a gazebo by a pond. Use all of your senses in your imagination: the smell of the soft moss underfoot, the coolness of the water in the brook etc. Clark uses the mental imagery of a light, picturing the warmth and energy it gives.
Step 5: Relax
As you progress into your mental picture, focus on relaxing your muscles slowly. Begin at one extreme of your body, like your toes, and concentrate on one small group of muscles at a time: relax your toes, then your arches, then your heel, then your calf and so on.
Clark imagines her light moving over each muscle group, warming as it moves, lingering a little longer over her spine, because she suffers back pain. If your depression causes physical aches, try to pay more attention to relaxing that area of your body while you're doing your relaxation step.
Step 6: Repeat Your Planned Messages
Once you are totally relaxed, it's time to use your scripts or tape. You can repeat these messages for as long as you like.
Step 7: Reverse the Steps
To "wake up" from a trance, reverse the steps by using your mental imagery again. You can maintain a relaxed feeling, but mentally prepare yourself to return to normal while telling yourself how you will feel when you get there. ("I will feel energized, healthy and refreshed.")
Does it work for everyone?
"Hypnosis only works if you want it to work," Clark says. "If you don't trust the process, you will not succeed in self-hypnosis."

Michael McRay talks faith, peace at library book signing
Michael McRay, a 2011 Lipscomb graduate and adjunct professor, knows Palestine and the Middle East like the back of his hand. He used that first-hand knowledge to write his first book: "Letters from 'Apartheid Street': A Christian Peacemaker in Occupied Palestine." Friends, fans and family gathered in Beaman Library on Monday, Oct. 21, for a book-signing and to hear McRay discuss his work.
McRay's ties to Palestine are rooted deeply in his family's involvement with the country. His grandfather was an archaeologist and professor who made regular trips to Israel, teaching and hosting archaeological digs. McRay's father wanted to carry on the Palestinian legacy to his sons, and brought McRay and his siblings to Israel as they were growing up.
"In a way, I was born into it," McRay said. "There's a need in Palestine, so that's where I am."
After his college graduation, McRay became involved with the Christian Peacemaker Teams, a faith-based organization that supports, among other things, Palestinian-led, nonviolent, grassroots resistance to the Israeli occupation . McRay became part of a team in the West Bank city of Hebron for two months, where he learned how to resist the violence of occupation and share the stories of a suffering people as he struggled to embody a peaceable spirit. It was during this time that he wrote the letters that make up his book.
"In Hebron, I began writing letters back home to reflect upon and process what I was seeing and experiencing. My letters portray the raw truth of my feelings and observations," he said.
The Christian Peacemaker teams in Palestine provide escorts for Palestinian children walking to school each day, accompany sheperds and farmers to fields where Israeli soldiers often assault them, monitor treatment of Palestinians at Israeli checkpoints, intervene during human rights abuses and sharing reports and documentation with the media, government and human rights organizations.
McRay said his letters explore one of the main questions of the Christian Peacemaker Teams, "How do I be peaceable?" His letters reflect on how he could love the people around him who didn't seem very loveable.
McRay also described a pivotal point in his life when his theological views were changed.
"I was 19 when I did study abroad in Vienna," McRay said. "I stayed back an extra week with my dad, and together we went to visit Krakow and Auschwitz, Poland. As we were sitting there in Auschwitz in silence, my dad said, 'Whatever you believe about God has to make sense here or it can't make sense anywhere.' It shattered my idea that God is out of everything and just rescues us from our problems when we are in need, and replaced it with the idea that God is in the midst of everything."
This new way of thinking eventually led him into prison ministry. McRay has been volunteering as a chaplain at Tennessee's Riverbend Maximum Security Institution for the past three years.
"I'm taking seriously Jesus' call in Matthew 25, where it says that He is with the least of these," he said.
McRay ended his talk with an excerpt from the end of the book's preface.
"In the end, I ask that you read these writings for what I intended them to be: A look from below, an opportunity to hear the stories of the misunderstood and misrepresented people, and a chance to wrestle with the complex and often seemingly fruitless endeavor of being peaceful in a violent world."
McRay currently hosts a Belfast-originated monthly storytelling event called 10x9 (ten by nine) in downtown Nashville. In August 2013, he completed his Master of Philosophy in Conflict Resolution and Reconciliation Studies with Trinity College Dublin at Belfast.

Mayor's Office
City Council members today announced that the final union representing civilian City employees has agreed to a reduction in the City's retirement match from 2-to-1 to 1.29-to1 for newly hired workers. The lower retirement match is included in the tentative agreement reached with the Public Association of Government Employees (PAGE), one of four unions representing civilian City employees.
"The new retirement plan will be more responsible to City taxpayers," said City Council member Doug Emery. "While the cost savings are limited in the short term, the union's concurrence has strengthened City finances for the future and likely saved important City services."
On behalf of Mayor Chris Beutler and other City Council members, Emery thanked PAGE for its "integrity, fairness and commitment to compromise." He also thanked the Mayor and the City negotiating team for their tenacity. The Mayor and Council members have worked to lower the retirement match since July of 2009.
In 2009, the City Budget Office estimated that the lower retirement match could save $1.6 million over five years. Council member Gene Carroll said actual savings have been lower because the City has not hired many new employees and has reduced the City workforce overall.
Ultimately, however, the City could save nearly $3 million per year in the future. And he said the lower retirement match has contributed to the City in other ways.
"We have made tough choices and avoided the fiscal disasters that have played out in other cities during the national recession," Carroll said. "Unity of purpose has been a key factor in our success and I sincerely believe that the lower retirement match has played an important role in achieving that unity."
The three unions who earlier agreed to the lower match are the Lincoln City Employees Association (LCEA), the Lincoln "M" (Managers) Class Employees Association and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1293. The Lincoln Firefighters Association Local 644 and the Lincoln Police Union have a separate pension plan. Labor contracts are available online at personnel.lincoln.ne.gov.

Jean Larette concocts the "Cocktail Collection" for Donghia
The new Cocktail Collection by San Francisco designer Jean Larette invites you to drink in sophistication. Larette is no stranger to textile design, and her past inspirations have included international cities and coastal American towns. But when Donghia approached the designer about a new floor covering line, she came up with rugs whose names include "Flirtini," "Cosmopolitan" and "Manhattan."
This time, Larette's inspiration comes from past elegance. "I referenced gold toned engraved jewelry boxes and cigarette cases from the Art Deco era found in Sotheby's estate jewelry catalogs," the designer says. "I feel the collection captures movement and energy with distinctive lines and sensuous curves."
The look appealed to Donghia Regional Manager Natalie Mize. "I was looking for a rug collection that worked well with Donghia and I approached Jean," she says. "Jean came to the meeting with five fabulous designs that were bold, innovative, beautiful, represented luxury and worked well with our showroom. We are so excited to have Larette Design Floorcoverings as a Donghia multi-line partner!"
Our favorites include the graphic lines of Mahattan, an elegant, Art Deco-inspired pattern that speaks of urban architecture.
We also enjoy Cosmopolitan, a wool-and-silk floorcovering that reads as a woven textile.
It's hard to resist the curving lines of the Flirtini, described by the company as "light, fun and [with] plenty of splashy movement."
When asked about why she's drawn to floor covering design, Larette says that, for her, it's the starting point when creating a room. She says, "I have always felt the most successful rooms begin with the floor covering which serves to anchor the space, inform the color palette and set the tone for the furnishings."

Davis selected First Team All-Atlantic Sun, Mitchell lands Second Team and All-Freshman accolades
MACON, Ga. (March 1, 2011) - With the start of the General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament set to get underway Wednesday afternoon in Macon, Ga., the league office released its postseason awards on Tuesday, and both senior Tara Davis (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) and freshman Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) landed all-conference honors.
Davis - who was a unanimous preseason all-conference selection - was named First Team All-Atlantic Sun; while Mitchell received Second Team All-Atlantic Sun honors and was a unanimous All-Freshman Team selection.
"I am pleased T.D. and Destiny were recognized with these awards, because they are two outstanding players," said head coach Karen Kemp, whose Lady Bucs are in search of their fourth straight conference tournament title this week. "Both T.D. and Destiny have helped put us in the situation to be the number one seed and our overall goal is to go win another championship."
Davis lived up to the expectations after being named to the preseason all-conference list back in October after she posted eleven 20-plus point games - including a career-high 28 points in the win over Jacksonville back on Jan. 15. The Murfreesboro, Tenn. native ranked second in the A-Sun in assists (4.7), third in scoring (15.3) and free throw shooting (82.7), and sixth in steals (2.1). The senior leader also became only the third player in Lady Buccaneer history to record 1,000 points and 400 assists in a career, as Davis currently ranks third in assists (442) and 14th in scoring (1,123). Davis led ETSU in assists 25 times this season, while leading the Blue and Gold in scoring 11 times. The standout guard is also strong free throw shooter as she has hit over 80 percent of her shots at the charity stripe, and Davis is two free throws away of breaking the single-season mark set by current associate head coach DeShawne Blocker (149, 1994-95). Davis currently owns the ETSU single-game record of 16 free throws made versus the Dolphins, while her 14-of-14 effort earlier in the year against Richmond also marked a program best.
"Tara is a tremendous player who gives you 100-percent effort each time she steps out on the floor," said Kemp. "She has been meant a lot to the Lady Buccaneer program and has been the driving force behind our championship success over the last three years. Not only is Tara a standout out performer on the court, but she succeeds in the classroom and within the community. Hopefully she will extend her ETSU basketball career beyond this weekend and help us win a fourth straight championship trophy."
Meanwhile, as Davis etched her named among the ETSU greats, Mitchell gave the Lady Buccaneer faithful a lot to cheer about during her rookie season. Even though her play was cut short due to a season-ending knee injury back on Feb. 12, Mitchell was snubbed when it came to the Freshman of the Year voting.
Mitchell - who ranked second in field goal percentage (51.8), fourth in steals (2.2) and double-doubles (11), fifth in rebounding (9.0) and sixth in scoring (14.5) - was beat out by Mercer's Briana Williams. Williams led the league in scoring (18.0), ranked sixth in three-point field goals made (2.2) and recorded a conference-best four 30-plus point scoring efforts, while the Bears finished with a 2-27 record.
During the year, Mitchell was named Player of the Week once and also received a league-best four Newcomer of the Week honors - despite not being eligible for the final three of the season. In conference play, the Bluffton, Ga. native picked up her play as she recorded nine double-doubles against league competition and ranked in the top-five in five statistical categories. Mitchell ranked second in steals (2.7), third in free throw percentage (80.8) and field goal percentage (51.6), fourth in scoring (15.6) and fifth in rebounding (9.1). Mitchell scored in double figures in 22 of the 24 games played and led the Lady Bucs in rebounding 17 times as a freshman.
"Unfortunately, for Destiny, her season was cut short due to injury, but she is still one of the top players in our conference," added Kemp. "For her to put up numbers like she did as a freshman speaks volumes why type of player she is capable of. Hopefully she will have a successful recovery and we can get back on the court as soon as possible."
USC Upstate's Chelsea McMillan was named A-Sun Player of the Year, while North Florida's Larkira Jones was tabbed Defensive Player of the Year. For the second straight season Florida Gulf Coast's Karl Smesko was given Coach of the Year after guiding the Eagles to a 24-3 record and the regular season title.
The Lady Bucs begin their title defense Wednesday afternoon when ETSU faces Lipscomb in the quarterfinals of the conference tournament. Tip is set for noon inside Mercer's University Center.

We are all familiar with online commerce these days. You want to buy something while shopping on Amazon or any other online destination: You create a profile and enter your credit card number; you purchase physical products, have them mailed to you and get the instant gratification of a digital purchase.
Even with the ubiquity of online commerce, we still depend on retail stores to purchase the physical products that we need daily and make cash purchases that can occur only at the corner store, right? This all changes today, with the introduction of the Cashtie API, which gives developers the ability to accept cash payments for digital goods, services and bill payments, from the point-of-sale (POS) systems of top retail providers such as Walmart and Target. The Cashtie API gives developers access to large retailers, via barcodes that link the retailers' POS systems to your digital goods and services. Web or mobile application users can receive a barcode, present it to retail clerks, and pay cash for digital goods such as music, movies or games.
The link between retail stores, cash purchases and the sale of online goods and services is now complete. The ability to provide cash payments for digital items isn't limited to next-generation digital goods; it can be applied just as easily to everyday utility bills, bypassing the historically slow bill-pay services that people experience today, allowing customers to simply bring in the paper bill or virtual bill via their phone, present a barcode and make a cash payment on their regular monthly or one-time bills.
While you are waiting in line at the store, the checkout aisle has been master-planned to present you with a number of impulse buys, ranging from a candy bar to the latest gossip magazine. Imagine a reinvented checkout aisle, where you can jump on the phone, receive instant offers for goods and services, and pay cash—changing the way you shop both online and offline. And the experience isn't limited to the checkout aisle. Whether you're at home gaming or preparing for weekly grocery shopping, any part of your regular routine can become a new opportunity for offering deals on the goods and services you need or want.
Many people are very comfortable making online purchases with credit cards, but others still deal in cash: According to the FDIC, 8.2 percent of U.S. households don't use banks for legal transactions, representing 10 million households in total; 20.1 percent—or 24 million—U.S. households are underbanked, meaning these consumers use cash to buy their goods services and pay their bills. This leaves many online purchases currently out of their reach. The Cashtie API is focused on bridging this last mile between physical and online shopping worlds. Incomm has spent almost 20 years building the relationships with major retailers such as Walmart, Target and CVS; it is now up to developers to extend this to consumers with the latest apps for purchasing goods and services and integrating them into a company's billing cycle.
Cashtie just opened for business. It's looking to provide incentives to developers to get involved by holding the Cashtie App Challenge, where winners get to present their apps directly to the top retailers at the Incomm Partner Alliance conference. Retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, CVS and more are expected to gather at the conference and learn about the latest technology, apps and trends—an amazing opportunity for any developer. In this exciting online world, it's easy to think that everything happens on the Internet. However, in reality much of the world is still a cash business. With the Cashtie API, there is new opportunity for developers to link this physical commerce to virtual commerce and back again. Retailers are looking for the next in-demand goods and services that will keep their retail locations relevant—do you have the solutions they seek?

Fulchino down, Wright up
In the yo-yo game that is the 2011 Astros, Jeff Fulchino has been optioned to OKC, with the Astros calling up Wesley Wright, due to the "need" to have another lefty option in the bullpen.

YRSCOMMERCIAL. PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHER, EDINBURGH. YRSCOMMERCIAL. EDINBURGH PRODUCT PHOTOGRAPHY. As a commercial product photographer and packaging (pack shot) specialist, YRSCommercial have developed a purpose built product photography studio, complete with studio benches and backdrops to handle all sorts of product photography – large or small, high key or in lifestyle/set piece photographs. Using the studio benches we can quickly cope with high volume catalogue photography commissions. We also have the servers and software to bulk name change and adapt images as and when they are shot for high speed delivery and conformity to SKU number requirements. The vast majority of product images shot at the studio is table top sized. Larger pieces are shot on site – so we bring the studio to you. Our product photography is based on a simple image count pricing policy: 1-10, 11-25, 25-50 and 50 plus. Product volumes of less than 25 incur a studio set up fee – but we try to keep this to a minimum. The studio has its own secure safe house and is 24 hour CCTV monitored, so if your products are of a jewellery nature or is a prototype, they will always remain safe with us. Using these facilities we offer product photography services to manufacturers and retailers across Scotland, as many ship their products to us, these being later returned under secure delivery. Our internal team has clipping and masking skills so we can touch-up existing, as well as new images of any products, large or small complex or simple. For very high volume clipping (in excess of 500 items) we may use one of our trusted suppliers to clip images to the same standard as ourselves. Should we do this we check all the images before getting them to you so quality is maintained at all times. To read more about our studio, go to our about page. Don't forget to look at our business pages from the menu selection, how can we help. WHAT EXPERIENCE DO WE HAVE WITH PRODUCT, PACK SHOT AND POS PHOTOGRAPHY? We have an extremely wide client base that use us for product photography – that be for high key cut out or lifestyle. They range from national retailers to small start up businesses – cosmetics and food additives through to the finest of food products or furniture, start up businesses – cosmetics and food additives through to the finest of food products or furniture. White goods, yes, brown goods again yes – even jewellery. Much of our work is for the internet – websites selling products locally and internationally. For others we are creating advertising images to sell products in magazines, editorials and of course the internet! HIGH KEY IMAGES (EBAY, AMAZON AND RETAIL WHITE ' CUT OUT'). Many of the products we shoot in the studio are to high key formats – that is to be shown with a white background. We have gained a reputation for good lighting here as many alternative studios simply shoot the product dull and rely on clipping masks to extract the image – pasting it onto a white or transparent background. We prefer to light the product properly and then enhance the image using clipping masks. This keeps colours clean and saturated, makes labels, caps or other design features white when they should be and not dirty grey. LIFESTYLE IMAGES OR PURPOSE IMAGES. Many of our product clients who order hi key images from us also ask us to shoot what we term 'lifestyle' images – showing the product in use, selling its value proposition or brand promise. More creative than hi-key images these are about selling the value of the product. So we establish a strong brief, get to understand the product and its use and then develop the images and shoot in the studio. We are also lucky to have created a large prop store. LARGE IMAGES BEYOND FURNITURE SIZE. Yes, much of the product we shoot is small – it's shipped to us via post or courier. But we do also get asked to shoot larger items here in the studio – sofas, fine dining tables, engineering products and machines. On such occasions we bring the studio to the client – lighting, backdrops to isolate the item etc. Again like with the set-piece images – we work a brief out first, visiting your business to do an on-site inspection for space, lighting and of course understand the item, its shape and how it will be used. This then lets us propose clear ideas and scamps for you to work alongside with.

I did it! I completed the Forensic Genealogy Institute and have the paperwork to prove it.
This was a great event. I am so glad I had the chance to go. Kudos to the Council for the Advancement of Forensic Genealogy (CAFG) for developing such a fantastic learning opportunity.
When people hear "forensic," many automatically envision crime scene tape and coroner vans. Blame all the CSI shows for that one. In reality, the word forensic describes something suitable for use in a court of law. Thus, in our case, it's genealogical research, records and documents suitable for legal use.
The Forensic Genealogy Institute is a 3-day intensive course exploring different aspects of forensic genealogy.
Here's the schedule:
Overview of the Council for the Advancement of Forensic Genealogy
Introduction to Forensic Genealogy
Discussion of the Role of the Genealogist
Real Estate and Rights of Way
Mineral Rights
Citizenship and Immigration
Capital Mitigation
Military Repatriation
Unidentified and Unclaimed Persons
Cold Cases
Forensic Genealogy Fees and Contracts
Ethics and Liability
Finding the Living
Forensic Techniques for Genetic Genealogy
Missing & Unknown Heirs:
Law Procedure for the Forensic Genealogist
Witness Roles
Mock Cross Examination
Legal and Ethical Implications of Adoptions
Work Products and Client Documents
Preparation, Business Structure and Due Diligence
How to Identify Potential Markets and Clients
Examples of Successful Marketing Efforts

| Photo: Orange-Almond Tart, from
Around My French Table: More Than 300 Recipes from My Home to Yours
If you've visited There's a Newf in My Soup lately, you know I am cooking my way through Dorie's beautiful cookbook, Around My French Table: More Than 300 Recipes from My Home to Yours. Although FFwD members are not required to participate every week, I've found it impossible to resist any of the recipes thus far.
This tart is composed of a delicate, buttery, pâte sablée crust and a silky, luscious, almond cream filling. The surprise twist is the use of oranges, a fruit you don't typically associate with a baked tart.
To achieve the most flavor and texture from the fruit, the cut supremes are dried for at least an hour, preferably several hours, between triple layers of paper towels.

When Rhode Island native John Carnevale was dropped off in a poverty-stricken village in rural Uganda in 2009 by the nonprofit organization SOVHEN Uganda, he never could have guessed that he would become forever bound to the community, its people and its livelihood.
During his volunteer work with the nonprofit, where Carnevale helped build roads, small houses and other infrastructure in Kankobe Village, he contracted a vicious strain of malaria, confining him to bed rest at a nearby hospital.
"In that hospital, everything hit me," he said. "I saw these little kids and their families on the floor and I couldn't do anything about it. It was one of the first times when I felt helpless."
When he began to recover, he made a promise to a friend, Jeremiah Kimbugwe — who Carnevale helped put through university — that he would return to the village to build a medical center.
"I don't know if it just hit me right there, and I don't know how it came out of my mouth, but I ended up coming back to San Diego and thinking, 'How am I going to do this?'" he said.
Although he had a full-time job as a mechanical engineer at Raytheon, Carnevale was committed to keeping his promise, brainstorming ways to save up money for the much-needed medical facility in the village of more than 12,000 people.
"I started sleeping in my car in San Diego, working as an engineer during the day and eating as close to just a couple dollars a day," he said of his lifestyle over the past two and a half years. "I saved up as much money as I could in a year, plus all the savings I had accumulated up to that point in my life, and I went over there with about $25,000 first to buy all the bricks and hire people."
By living simply in his little blue Corolla, reserving the bulk of his income entirely for the promised project and focusing his time on putting together architectural diagrams for a medical center and guest house, Carnevale was able to make good on his promise to Kimbugwe, launching into construction in January 2011 and building the two facilities brick by brick — and all without taking a dime from anyone else.
"We were having an economic recession in the United States, and I didn't feel comfortable taking money off people," he said. "I wanted to put my money up first and prove that I could do something and make something sustainable before I asked someone for a dollar for a project that I didn't even know was possible."
The project, as it turns out, was possible. Since January 2012, the Donna Carnevale Medical Center — a tribute to Carnevale's mother and role model — has been up and running and has seen thousands of patients in and out of its doors for medical attention, dental care, immunizations, disease prevention and maternity services.
"The past year has been amazing, but it has always been just me up to that point," he said. "All of a sudden, I wanted to take this thing to a new level and give everyone the opportunity to go out there and experience that entrepreneurship, that giving and that love I was feeling for that country out there."
That was when D'amours Step was born — a volunteer organization dedicated to empowering communities, villages and individuals around the globe by engineering sustainable solutions for medical care and educational growth, starting with one person, one village and one brick at a time.
The team Carnevale has built on the ground — from the local doctors and dentists to lab techs and midwives – were entirely hand selected and their salaries funded by Carnevale.
"I put together a plan to keep local Ugandans in Uganda, because what happens is you get a degree and you go to greener pastures, like we all do sometimes," he said. "I wanted to keep local doctors there, so I set up a facility, created wages and started paying people's salaries."
He also worked with SOVHEN and the Ministry of Health to ensure all the required certifications and regulations were met and made sure he hired the right people for the job.
"It's a rural atmosphere. You're not going to come in everyday like in a hospital in the city and see a thousand people," he said. "Some days you might see five people. Other days you'll see 30, so you have to be dealing with the proper individual for the job."
One such dedicated individual, Carnevale's good friend and former Encinitas-based doctor of physical therapy, Kinley McCracken, recently quit her job at Scripps Hospital and landed herself in Uganda in late January to prepare D'amours Step for an impending project called "Bricks for Peace" on
Feb. 6, where Carnevale and 20 friends — comprised of medical professionals, engineers and business professionals — will build a maternity ward and dental center over two and a half weeks to meet the community's needs.
"We'll be throwing the bricks all by hand — no machinery. We work with builders out there, and I've already dumped 40,000 bricks and the materials there," he said. "[McCracken] is going to be down there setting up some stuff and getting it ready."
One of the first things the group will be tasked to do is quite literally make their beds.
"Some of the beds in the Camilla guesthouse got eaten by termites, so one of the first things you do when you get off the plane in Africa is you build your bed," he said.
The group will also sit down with the Ministry of Health and the head of women's groups to see what issues concern the village as well as determine ways to bring in small business to create a sustainable community.
"They're getting dropped off into something that's real, that's substantial and that has a magnitude that can reach out to a lot of people," he said. "It's very complex, but the vision is there for a community — not just a hospital, not just a school."
Carnevale said the benefit of empowerment for Ugandans and American volunteers is mutual.
"We're not giving anybody anything. We want to build a relationship and work with them," he said. "It puts people into perspective. Going on a trip like that sometimes helps you more than you help them. You come back and your life changes, and you want to give so much to make an impact out there."
Brick by brick, D'amours Step is empowering both Ugandans in need of resources and Americans in need of a purpose. For more information about the organization, visit www.damoursstep.org.
D'amours Step will hold a fundraising party on Feb. 2 at 710 Beach Club in Pacific Beach from 2 to 8 p.m. The pre-Super Bowl bash will include raffles, specials on drinks, a Hawaiian pig roast and a live DJ spinning beats throughout the evening.
"Our goal is to give you six great hours of your life," said Carnevale. "Put you around some great people, educate you a little bit and just have a jamming time."
710 Beach Club is located at 710 Garnet Ave.

YOUNG children who snore could be at greater risk of becoming hyperactive later than those who sleep quietly, researchers reported today.What does hyperactivity in children mean? Click here to have an idea.
Their study, published in the journal Sleep, strengthens earlier conclusions linking sleep disorders and hyperactivity and also appears to confirm that it is the snoring that comes first.
In 2002, a University of Michigan team reported that among 229 children studied, those who snored regularly were twice as likely to later be hyperactive or have attention issues than non-snorers. For boys under the age of eight, the rate was four times higher.
[Scotsman.com, Jul 1 2005]
There was a time when kids who always figured in school brawls were described here as plain impish or malikot. It was only in the 1980s that the term ADHD was coined to describe episodes of inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.
Medical history tells us that it was the great British pediatrician Sir George Frederic Still who first reported it in 1902 in a series of lectures at the Royal College of Physicians. He described a group of children who were "aggressive, defiant and resistant to discipline." The same chiildren also had difficulty paying attention and staying on task. At that time, Dr. Still offered a theory that this behavior was probably not the result of poor parental supervision, but had instead a biologic and central nervous system (CNS) background. Today, the medical world considers ADHD as a CNS disorder.

Counting Down to Opening Day
I've been rather inactive the past couple months, blogging very sparingly.
Since the 2012 baseball season is just around the corner, I've decided to pick up my blogging content to head full steam into the season. During the baseball season I usually would have around 200-300 readers per day, but that number has fallen drastically in the past couple months as folks have figured out that I've stopped blogging regularly.
Well, I'm going to start back up again.
Today is January 21st and from now until opening day, I hope to blog once a day.
This notice will serve as my first in a series of 75. Yes, there are 75 days until opening day. How am I going to come up with 75 different entries, well, check back tomorrow and see what I come up with!
1/21/12 – 75 more days until Opening Day.
I'm excited, Amy's excited, Olivia is excited!
