A lost wedding ring.
The old wives say bad fortune is in your future. You might as well be looking for your happy marriage at the bottom of that murky lake. Should we listen to the Old Wives when they never let us hear what the Old Husbands think?
Superstitious or not, losing a ring will set off panic. Never in your life have you prayed for time to go backwards. For just a few seconds, God. Please. A tiny bit. It was right. here.
And then it's gone.
That split second can happen all kinds of ways. I polled my Facebook friends. Hey, I do more than stalk on Facebook. I got the party started with this question – "For those of you (or your spouse) that have lost your wedding ring – how did you lose it?"
- It fell off my husband's finger into the ocean. It was the first day of our honeymoon.
- My husband gave the ring to our girls to play with. Been gone ever since.
- He lost it in training and his 2nd one got lost while he was deployed.
- It's at the bottom of Table Rock Lake. It fell off while cleaning catfish.
- My husband lost his in the snow, it slid right off. I lost mine after my 2-year-old took it. It was never seen again.
- I have a nervous tick and I play with it on my finger. I spent hours looking for it in a parking lot.
- My husband lost another man's wedding ring. We were at a triathlon and my husband offered to hold a friend's ring while he did the swim event. My husband went to pull in the buoys out of the water and the ring slipped into the water.
- Husband lost his in the bottom of a river while canoeing, trying to save another couple from distress. 2nd one in Applebee's bathroom. I will have to ask about 3rd and 4th rings.
- Softball field, never found it.
- Public restroom. Unfortunately, no one turned it in.
- He threw it in the trash after washing his hands at work.
- Thought it was lost forever but found it in the laundry basket.
- Cat knocked it down the sink drain.
- Workout bag had a hole in the pocket.
- Divorce
- Somewhere in our old house. I would love to blame my kids, for that I'm convinced a toddler misplaced it.
- In the pasture behind our house.
- Spinning it on the table at "Shot Stop" in Aggieville. It fell between a crack in the wall and the floor. Next time they tear down that bar, I'm going to go get it.
- Stuck under my bathroom scale.
- I throw it off in my sleep, but I always find it.
- Fell out of my pocket while golfing. Luckily, I was with my father-in-law.
- A beach in Mexico. I was getting a massage and left it in the hut on the counter.
- Solution: Get the wedding ring tattooed on. (Brilliant, Serena. Brilliant.)
The responses to my research were immediate. I was expecting a handful of men to respond. Instead, my Facebook page turned into a confession box with a line out the door. Men and Women. What surprised me the most was how lighthearted everyone felt about their missing symbol of infinite love. There were no sad stories. No said they felt bad. They were sharing a war stories. They survived and could tell the tale.
These people have found the secret – marriage isn't a sealed deal until one of you lose a wedding ring. Only then you are golden. Oh, and that crap about your ring finger having a vein in it leading straight to your heart is a lie.
Ron lost his ring. We're in.
You won't find Ron's response above. Ron couldn't respond to my Facebook poll because Ron has no clue where he lost his ring. He left the house with his wedding ring on. He crawled into bed without his wedding ring on. He swore he didn't take it off. It's gone. It has been missing for a few weeks now. Stop it, ladies.
He's taken. But you can look at his cute butt.
We will replace the original ring. Maybe we'll let our daughters help pick out a new ring. We're not in a rush. We don't need a ring to prove to the world that we're married. That's what a marriage certificate is for.
Oh, wait. Yeah, we lost that like 8 years ago.
Goodbye, wedding ring.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Latinas Were Groped and Humiliated, Federal Agency Charges
LOS ANGELES – One of the largest orchid farms in the U.S., Cyma Orchids, Inc., will pay $200,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) alleging pervasive harassment, discrimination and retaliation due to sex and national origin bias, the federal agency announced today. The farm's former owner, Taean Orchids, will pay an additional $40,000.
A class of female Latina greenhouse workers of the Oxnard, Calif.-based company were sexually harassed continually by supervisors, managers, and the company's owners, according to the EEOC. Women were groped and subjected to unwanted touching of their breasts and buttocks, repeated propositions, sexual jokes and comments about their bodies. Both Korean and Hispanic male supervisory staff alike engaged in the widespread sexual harassment which was also laced with discrimination based on their country of origin. Harassers allegedly joked about how often Mexican women have sex, and made comments that Mexican women were "lazy" and "do not know their place." The EEOC also alleged that workers who complained about the harassment and discrimination were retaliated against, including a Hispanic male lead greenhouse worker who was fired after defending one of the victims.
One of the victims stated, "You have the right to defend yourself when you suffer abuse. I found the courage to report the abuse that had happened to me and I also wanted to prevent the same abuse from continuing against my fellow female co-workers."
The EEOC filed its lawsuit in September 2010 on behalf of the class in the U.S. District Court, Central District of California (EEOC v. Cyma Orchids, Inc., Case No. CV 10-7122 DMG (RZx)), alleging that the conduct violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. California Rural Legal Assistance (CRLA) then intervened into the EEOC's lawsuit on behalf of one of the women. CRLA is a non-profit legal services program that seeks to improve the quality of life for low-income individuals and farm workers.
As part of settlement, the parties entered into a two-and-a-half-year consent decree requiring Cyma to assign an equal employment opportunity (EEO) coordinator to ensure all staff are trained regarding their EEO rights and responsibilities and the company's policy and procedures against discrimination, harassment and retaliation. Aside from the monetary relief for the victims, Cyma is also required to track future complaints by creating a centralized tracking system and to hold employees accountable for failing to adequately address those complaints.
"We commend Cyma for implementing measures to prevent future instances of discrimination," said Anna Y. Park, regional attorney for the EEOC's Los Angeles District Office. "We continue to see persistent problems in agriculture with harassment. Employers are responsible for Title VII compliance for migrant or farm workers."
Andres Garcia, a CRLA attorney, added, "For our client, this case was about dignity and being free to work in an environment that's free from harassment. We are extremely pleased with this settlement and the preventative measures that will be implemented by the company to protect current employees from harassment."
Olophius Perry, district director for the EEOC's Los Angeles District Office, said, "Our nation's workers have the right to work without being touched or demeaned due to their country of origin. Retaliation against those that report discrimination is illegal, and the EEOC is here to help those who endure such violations of the law."
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Rise to the shrine. My interests are mainly based around the relationships between man and nature, in western culture. I believe that humans are separate from animals because humans can make choices in their responses to other people, most people can control their instincts and this is conditioned from society. Animals on the other hand, do not appear to be able to make the same choices. How much of there identity is actually them? We have pets we give them an identity, which is not necessarily true to their origins. In animations animals walk, talk and wear human clothing, animal prints on clothing with humanised characteristics, talking animals in advertising, but in other cultures it seems there is more respect for animals compared to western culture. I see that we humanise animals and give them different identity to the one that they were dealt by nature. I am celebrating this within my work, I see this as a phenomenon in its own right, (anthropomorphism), I am creating religious style iconography that pays tribute to this relationship.

Detroit Tigers 2012 Offseason Recap and Preview
This was the season of three of the four players in the next picture. There was Jose the perfect, Justin the MVP, and Miguel the MVP candidate:
Grade: B+
Notable Additions:
Prince Fielder, Collin Balester, Ocatvio Dotel, and Gerald Laird.
Notable Subtractions:
Carlos Guillen, Wilson Betemit, Ryan Perry, and Joel Zumaya.
Why?: The temptation would be to say their good offseason grade came from Prince Fielder. While this is partially true, it was not only him, but all of the players in the "Notable Additions" category that brought this grade to a B+. True, there are only four of them, but that is why it is a B+ and not a grade in the "A"s. Let's just compare the two sides very briefly. They gained: One of the best 1st Basemen in the game, two bullpen hands, and an above-average replacement for their injured catcher who was an All-Star (I believe) the last time he was on the team. They lost: a declining utility player, a young underperforming utility player, an Outfield prospect, because they had a surplus, and an oft-injured reliever. These are some solid additions they have made.
However, there is a hidden part to this story. There are two free-agents still on the market that were Tigers last year: Magglio Ordoñez and Brad Penny. Both would certainly be more "Notable" than any player on this list if they were to sign with another team. If they both were to do so, I might downgrade the Tigers.
Also, if this grade were for the impact this offseason had on the next few years, it might be higher. I mean the Tigers have a chance to win the World Series, but the move will be more for the years when Victor Martinez, because the lineup will be a mine field to navigate for pitchers.
Predicted Record Range: 94-99 wins

When it comes to managing our personal finances, many Americans are falling short and lack basic money-management skills.
Continue Reading Below
"The bad news is that many people are missing a solid personal finance foundation, but there is good news: they know that they don't know," says Gail Cunningham, vice president of public relations at the National Foundation for Credit Counseling.
The NFCC released a survey this week that finds many Americans have significant gaps in their personal finance knowledge, with more than 60% admitting to not having a budget, the highest level is six years.
"Budgeting is a basic building block to personal finances," says Cunningham. "But too many people think budget is a four-letter word and become restrictive. People are afraid to see their spending staring back at them in black and white and (worry) that it will force a behavioral change."
The proportion of adults spending less dropped to a low this year -- to 29% from the high of 57% in 2009 -- as one in three adults report they carry credit card debt each month. Fifteen percent of people roll over at least $2,500 every month on the credit cards, according to the survey. This habit seems to contradict the result that shows lack of savings is a top financial worry among respondents.
"We were all wondering when people were going to start feeling more confident to spend again, and it looks like that time is here," Cunningham said.
The survey also shows 41% of adults give themselves a grade of 'C' or lower when it comes to their personal finance knowledge.
And while Cunningham points to the fact that 73% of respondents agree that they could benefit from professional financial advice, whether or not they will ask for it is unclear. "People wait too long to come in and ask for help. We in America have that 'push-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps' mentality, and that's great and we should all try that, but waiting too long to see the doctor is bad and so is waiting too long to get financial help."
Despite the recent data breaches, including the one at Target (NYSE:TGT) that exposed an estimated 40 million credit and debit card numbers, 60% of people have not reviewed their credit score within the last year.
Cunningham says data breaches might not scare consumers since at-risk consumers get identity-theft protection and tend to get issued new cards right away. She's more worried about the fact that most Americans don't understand the difference between a credit score and a credit report.
"They don't understand their score is based on the information in their report, they think if they have their score they don't need their report, but that is not the case."

the connecticut ukrainian american historical society
The history of Ukraine has been marked by countless periods of foreign domination, forced influences, and oppression. Yet, throughout centuries of struggle, the Ukrainian people have managed to create and maintain an identity that is unique.
This spirit of preservation and proliferation is at the heart of the Ukrainian Heritage
Center of New Haven, Conn. Beginning with a small collection of photographs gathered
to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Saint Michael's Ukrainian Catholic Church, the
Center has now grown to seven exhibition rooms, which include an outstanding collection
of artistic artifacts, historical documents, and literary resources that serve not
only to preserve a culture but also to help that culture fluorish by sharing it with
the people of the United States.
Since its opening in 1984, the Center has hosted visitors from Ukraine, including scholars and politicians, as well as numerous students from Connecticut and beyond in search of resources for research topics as diverse as folk dance, costuming, and iconography. Artifacts from the Center have been incorporated into traveling exhibits, spreading the rich Ukrainian culture to people who might otherwise never have this opportunity to learn.
The Center gained national attention for its efforts in the Benchmark Books Educational
Series, as well as through a feature article in the New York Times.

Disney Infinity's Cars Play Set Races Towards Release
The day when our wallets will empty and our plastic debt will increase is almost here. We're talking, of course, about the release of Disney Infinity and its army of video games and action figures. We've learned today that one of the sets that will be available for the game will star Lightning McQueen and the crew of Pixar's Cars.
Video Gamer reported on the first details about the play set that were revealed in the March issue of Game Informer magazine.
Players will be tasked with hosting an international racing tournament in a post-Cars 2 Radiator Springs. They'll be able to construct their own race track in order to coax racers to repeatedly drive around an oblong road.
When you're done with the formalities of accomplishing a given task, you can get even more creative! The set contains additions to the Toy Box mode, which will include buildings and track pieces. Players can blow these up and turn them into stunt-park pieces in order to pull off sick tricks.
And what would the point of having tracks and stunt-parks without characters to populate them? The set includes Lightning McQueen, Mater, Holly Shiftwell, and Francesco Bernoulli, though it hasn't been specified which character(s) will come packed with the physical set. But each character will appear in-game and come with their own exclusive missions.
The Cars set is the fourth set that's been announced for Disney Infinity so far, joining the likes of Pirates of the Caribbean, The Incredibles, and Monsters University.
The game proper, as well as the plethora of plastic to come, is set for release in June 2013, giving us plenty of time for more play sets to be announced. We'll let you know if and when any news of other franchises arise.
In the meantime, let us know what Disney/Pixar property you'd love to see be a part of Disney Infinity.

Former Director of Athletics Nick Rodis dies at 87Former Brandeis University Director of Athletics Nick Rodis, whose 17-year tenure included the introduction of seven new women's sports and the only two team national championships in school history, died early this morning, October 7, at Newton-Wellesley Hospital at the age of 87.
Rodis, who led the Department of Athletics from 1967 to 1984, was inducted in the Brandeis Athletics Hall of Fame in 2000. Brandeis won its only two NCAA Division III national championships during his tenure: the 1976 men's soccer crown and the 1983 men's cross country title. Brandeis teams also made 27 other trips to the NCAA tournament in that span, reaping numerous All-Region and All-America honors. In addition, Rodis helped introduce seven women's intercollegiate sports in his tenure.
Rodis hired Brandeis Hall of Fame coaches Bob Brannum (basketball) and Tom O'Connell (baseball), as well as current Judge coaches Mike Coven (men's soccer), Denise Dallamora (women's soccer), Bill Shipman (fencing) and Pete Varney (baseball), plus assistant director of athletics Jim Zotz. After leaving his post as director of athletics, Rodis was also instrumental in fundraising for the construction of the Gosman Sports and Convocation Center. In 2010, he was presented with the Eastern College Athletic Conference's James Lynah Distinguished Service Award.
A member of the National Association of Collegiate Athletic Directors Association Hall of Fame, Rodis graduated in 1949 from Harvard University, where he earned All-America honorable mention honors in baseball and football. He went on to coach at American International College and the University of Connecticut. In 2007, the Needham Times said that Rodis was "arguably, outside of Harry Agganis, the greatest Greek-American athlete ever to grow up in New England".
Rodis was the first American to serve as vice president of the International University Sports Federation and served as the president of the United States Collegiate Sports Council. Rodis joined Brandeis in 1967 after a five-year stint as a special assistant for athletic programs in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs in the State Department under John F. Kennedy.
"Nick Rodis was an old-school guy who was devoted to Brandeis," said Bill Shipman, Brandeis's head fencing coach since 1980. "He worked hard to promote winning teams. He worked here during some turbulent times, financially and politically, but he was able to steer two of the most successful programs in school history in the baseball and cross-country teams of the 1970s and '80s."

2013 Nissan Sentra: New Car Review Video
For longer than Nissan would like to admit, the Sentra has played second fiddle to the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla in the compact sedan category. But, when it comes to the 2013 Nissan Sentra, Nissan went all out on the redesign, starting with a sleeker exterior, a quieter ride and a lower price.
The new exterior sheet metal gives the 2013 Sentra the look of a more expensive car, and the sloping hood and smooth curved front fenders are easy on the eye.
Nissan also revamped the Sentra's interior, which is roomy, even in the rear seat, and offers impressive materials quality. Plus, with a tilt-telescoping steering wheel and height-adjustable driver's seat, just about any driver should be able to get comfortable.
There are four main trim levels for 2013: S, SV, SR and SL, with a special FE+ package available on the S and SV trims that will increase fuel economy slightly.
Choose your trim level wisely if technology is important to you. USB and Bluetooth connectivity are not available on the S, are optional in the mid trims and only come standard on the top-of-the-line SL. In fact, if you go with any trim level below SL, you'll end up paying extra for popular amenities such as the cool push-button ignition.
The simple, straightforward layout of the instruments and controls is impressive in this compact car. It gives the Sentra a more refined and user-friendly vibe, right down to the available 4.3-inch audio display. There is an optional 5.8-in touchscreen navigation, but it seems small, has slow response and offers low-resolution graphics. This unit does have some positives, such as NissanConnect with Google Point-of-Interest and read-aloud texting.
Only one engine is available in the 2013 Sentra: a 1.8-liter inline 4-cylinder. With 130-horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque, the Sentra has just enough power to keep up with traffic thanks to the vehicle's light weight. The base Sentra comes standard with a 6-speed manual transmission, while all the other trims come with a continuously variable transmission.
The Sentra is all about basic transportation -- from point A to point B and back with minimal fuss -- and no exaggerated claims about providing driving thrills, which translates into gas mileage that's easy to live with. The maximum highway fuel economy is as much as 40 miles per gallon with the FE+ trims.
The base Sentra S stickers at a very reasonable $15,990, while even the top-drawer SL Sentra gets started at under $20,000. And the drivetrain is covered by a 5-year/60,000-mile warranty.
Before deciding, be sure to look at the Chevy Cruze, Dodge Dart and Hyundai Elantra. They are all worth comparing to the Sentra since they all offer their own distinctive recipes for economy and style.
The Sentra has grown up with a stylish new exterior, a roomy and tasteful interior, and a price that won't drain your bank account. It's definitely not a pocket rocket, and the lower trim levels are a little under-equipped, but it's hard to overlook the 2013 Nissan Sentra if you're shopping for economy, value and styling.

Edwards, Martin Hit the Jackpot in Las Vegas
Carl Edwards and his No. 99 Ford wasn't the most dominant car in the Kobalt Tools 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway -- that honor belonged to Tony Stewart in his No. 14 Chevrolet. But when Stewart was assessed a pit road penalty, that opened the door for Edwards and he took advantage, winning for the second time at the 1.5-mile track and earning his third Cup victory in his past five starts.
Edwards became the fourth driver to win multiple times at Las Vegas with his 19th career victory. Edwards sits third in points, seven points behind leaders Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch. Edwards has two top-fives this season (a second at Daytona and the victory and Vegas).
Inside the stats
3 -- Juan Montoya finished third to score his career-best finish at Las Vegas in his fifth start.
4 -- Marcos Ambrose earned his first top-10 since Richmond last season with his fourth-place finish at Las Vegas. This is Ambrose's 14th career top-10 in the Cup Series.
4 -- Ford has won four of the past five races at Las Vegas and the manufacturer's seven victories are the most among the car makers.
5 -- Ryan Newman has posted top-fives in the past two Cup races with consecutive fifth-place finishes at Phoenix and Las Vegas.
6 -- Martin Truex Jr. finished sixth at Las Vegas to give him his first top-10 since his sixth-place finish at Talladega in October 2010.
6 -- Six drivers have finished 20th or worse in all the Cup events this season: Greg Biffle, Jeff Burton, Travis Kvapil, Andy Lally, Joey Logano and Joe Nemechek.
7 -- Roush Fenway's seven Cup victories at Las Vegas lead all teams for wins at the track.
8 -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished eighth at Las Vegas, giving him back-to-back top-10s for just the fourth time since June 2008.
10 -- Brian Vickers finished 10th at Las Vegas for his first top-10 since finishing 10th at Darlington in May 2010, his final race before his blood clots were discovered.
11 -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished eighth giving him finishes of 11th or better in four of the past five races at Las Vegas.
16 -- Roush Fenway has won at Las Vegas 16 times. The team has seven Cup victories, five Nationwide victories and three Truck victories at the track.
21 -- Jeff Burton finished 21st and ended his streak of five consecutive top-15 finishes at Las Vegas.
28 -- Greg Biffle finished 28th and ended his streak of three consecutive top-10 finishes at Las Vegas.
38 -- Kyle Busch ended his streak of six consecutive finishes of 15th or better at Las Vegas with a 38th in Sunday's race.
121 -- This is Roush Fenway Racing's 121st Cup Series victory.
There's a new Nationwide car, new rules and a new batch of young drivers trying to forge a career in NASCAR. But Martin, the all-time wins leader in the Nationwide Series, didn't let any of that deter him at Las Vegas, where the 52-year-old took advantage of a blown tire to leader Brad Keselowski on the final lap and won for the 49th time in the Nationwide Series.
The victory is Martin's fourth at Las Vegas and gives him three consecutive wins at the track -- all with different teams. Martin became the oldest race winner at Las Vegas and just the sixth driver in series history to win a race after turning 50. This is Martin's 16th win on a 1.5-mile track, one behind series leader Kyle Busch.
Inside the stats
1 -- This is Turner Motorsports' first Nationwide Series victory and the first time the team has finished first and second in a race.
2 -- Brad Keselowski finished third for his second top-five in five Las Vegas Nationwide races.
2 -- Two of the first three Nationwide races this season have been won by Chevrolet. Tony Stewart won the season-opener at Daytona.
3 -- Justin Allgaier finished second to give him top-10 finishes in all three of his Las Vegas Nationwide starts.
4 -- Danica Patrick scored a career-high fourth at Las Vegas, becoming the highest-finishing woman in a NASCAR national series race. Sara Christian held that mark since 1949, when she finished fifth at Heidelberg.
5 -- Trevor Bayne finished fifth to give him top-10s in both of his Las Vegas Nationwide starts.
9 -- Chevrolet has won nine of the 15 Nationwide races run at Las Vegas.
10 -- Kenny Wallace finished 10th for his second top-10 at Las Vegas in nine Nationwide starts.
84 -- Kyle Busch led 84 laps before crashing on Lap 130. Busch finished 30th.

Student Travel Association (STA) is a good source for reduced fare tickets, as well as Student Universe or Travel Zoo. If you are using a student fare website, you can expect that they will ask you for your International Student ID Card (ISIC) number when purchasing the fare. We sell the ISIC card at a cost of $22 p/card. Visit IE for more information
regarding this card. Don't forget to search any of the non-student fare discount sites, such as Travelocity, Orbitz, Expedia, and Kayak. Be careful that you do not schedule layovers that are too short to catch a connecting flight and also be aware
of all restrictions (non-refundable, non-transferable, etc.) on a particular ticket. With increase airport security measures, check in for any international flight at least 2 or 3 hours ahead of flight time.
Discount airlines in Europe now provide inexpensive and timely ways to travel long distance for a number of smaller airports throughout Europe. Some examples of these discount airlines are Ryan Air and Easy Jet. Do keep in mind that different luggage restrictions apply to these airlines, so you will be limited in what you can take with you without having
to pay steep fines.
Check Rail Europe to find out all you need to know about train travel in Western Europe. The Eurail Select Pass can be an outstanding deal, but make sure that you are going to travel enough within qualifying periods to justify the cost. The Eurail Pass is a cost savings if you are planning to travel long disctances (more than 4 hrs) for a number of times. The Eurrail Pass must be purchased while you are still in the U.S., and may not be used in the United Kingdom or in most East European countries. Students normally buy 2nd class passes, which is fine in Western Europe. For some trains there may be a need to reserve seats in advance. There is a nominal charge for this. Also see Dan Youra's Ferry Guide for information on European railway and ferry systems.
Renting cars in Europe is more expensive than in the US and may have different age requirements than in the U.S. Also realize that traffic signs and regulations can vary greatly (think about driving on the left side of the road in the U.K.). Traffic accidents account for the majority of injuries and deaths among students abroad. Rather learn how to use local buses and subways. In your city of residence you can probably get monthly passes. Even for shorter stays buying tickets in bulk, i.e. ten Paris Metro tickets, the Paris one-day or three-day pass, or London one-day travel card are often available at reduced prices.
Youth hostels are still the 1st choice of students to see Europe inexpensively. In fact, hostels are available in many countries outside of Europe as well. For information visit the International Youth Hostel Foundation, or do an on-line search for Youth Hostels.
Absolutely learn about your host country before you go there. Get your hands on travel books, such as the "Let's Go Europe". If you are going to travel more intensively in a particular coutnry, there are volumes in the Let's Go...series for several major countries, i.e. Let's Go Europe combines about 10 popular Western European countries. Also recommended travel books are the Real Guide, and the Berkely Guide Series. For Asia and third world travel, the Lonely Planet series is the usual choice. Also visit on-line the Froghouse for student listed recommendations for travel etc

Casen's Story
Casen was born August 31, 2009, 10 weeks early, so his lungs were underdeveloped but other than that he seemed healthy. One day his heart rate rose to over 240 beats per minute and that is when he was diagnosed. They put him on heart medication and we thought everything was fine, until one day he was in the hospital for RSV and his heart went into cardiac dysrhythmia. We lost our only child when he was only 6 months old. It is too late for him, but it is not too late for the thousands of families whose child is at risk or diagnosed with the disease.
Casen was a precious little man with infectious brown eyes and an unforgettable smile. He loved being held and talked to. He was a fighter and never gave up until the end.

by Hugh Gilmore
I've found a workable solution to my long-term quest to become a published novelist. I'm almost positive it will work. The solution is simple: change the definition of the term "published novelist." After that, simply by doing what I know I am capable of doing – heck, in fact, have done – I'll be an author.
I'm not being funny here. You know that, don't you? You're probably saying, "That's not funny. Why does this guy think he's funny?" But I don't. I mean, I'm not. Kidding, that is.
I'm quite serious. The world is changing and, for once, I'm changing with it. I'm jumping on the carousel by running alongside in the same direction it's spinning, rather than running straight at it, as usual, and getting knocked on my "but."
Not funny either, I know. Grammatical humor never is. Especially when it's homonymic. You'd be arrested for anything homonymic in Texas. I'll get on to the story now.
A formerly bookish child, I turned into a bookish boy, then a bookish teen and a bookish young adult. All this by the age of 21, mind you. Taking advantage of the momentum I'd built, I found it easy to grow into being a bookish man, then a bookish middle-aged man, and years later, a very bookish, very middle-aged man, and still years later, a bookish-as-hell middle-aged man.
I'm working on becoming a bookish "older man" in the distant future, when I become an "older man," with hopes of some day becoming a bookish senior citizen. But that is so far in the future I have to ask, why count your road-crossing chickens before you have to ford that stream?
All this bookishness has bred envy within me, of course, leaving me wanting to be adulated in the manner of the authors of the books I've read.
That's a harmless enough ambition, unless one is serious about it. If so, he/she must write a book. That's a lot of work. And there's never time. Authors just sit around and write. The rest of us have to work all day. And raise children. And count sheep.
But, for the sake of argument, let's say, one goes ahead and writes a book. A fictional work. A novel. Does that make you a novelist? If you build a table, does that make you a furniture-maker? If you raise a bumper crop of corn, does that make you a farmer, or a bumper-cropper? Some would say yes, some would say no. Those who say no say the difference is: there must be an element of commerce. You have to sell your product. Others would say: you also must perform that activity all day long if you want to write that job title on your IRS 1040 form.
Since the year 2000, when I said "now or never" to my dream of making the transition from being a bookish middle-aged guy to being a bookish middle-aged novelist, I have written three and a half novels and a memoir. They are all sitting in a drawer. Am I now a novelist?
Well, some would say, you are not a novelist until someone else reads your novel.
Hmmm … is that true. Suppose I made cakes, gorgeous chocolate cakes with buttery chocolate icing, all day and then put them in the cabinet.
Would you call me a cake maker? Did you say no?
Oh. Suppose you wanted to sell them to people who like cake, but couldn't find a distributor to place them in stores for you. So you put them in the freezer. Are you a cake maker? I guess you are. But you're the only one who knows that, so you'll never get groupies.
Regarding the novels I wrote, I've described in detail the process of seeking an agent for one of them. (See my blog:enemiesofreading.blogspot.com for a series called "Writing 'AmericanaRama.'") After trying several titles ("Lovesick in Ann Arbor", "Malcolm's Wine" and "AmericanaRama.") I nearly found an agent (whom I nicknamed Mr. Goodtaste) for that last title, but in the end he said, in effect, "So very well written, exciting … but in the end it did not make me leap off my sofa with super enthusiasm … so I'm afraid I must pass."
That was after considering hundreds of agents and writing to every one that handled my kind of story. No, no, no, no and no. I put the novel in the drawer with the others.
I'm much more interested in writing than I am in marketing and I had another novel I was itching to write, so I began writing it.
Why? Why does someone make cakes, or furniture, or ceramics? I used to think it was because they had something to "say." I don't think that anymore. I think the act of creating something, of following up on an idea, is almost like a craving. There are people in diners who play with their drinking straw wrappers, bending them this way, and shaping them that way, and people who toss the wrapper aside. I'm a player/shaper/bender.
Back to our theme. This year Amazon, the USA's largest seller of books, announced that they now sell more e-books than print books. The best-known e-book reader is Amazon's Kindle, but Amazon also offers books that can be read on the iPhone, iPad, BlackBerry, and Android phones, and for Mac and PCs.
Here's the news that matters: If you want to, you can download your book to Kindle and Amazon will sell it for you. You can also download your book and have it be distributed by a number of other services (such as Smashwords.com) and see it get offered for sale by Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and several other important booksellers.
You do not have to pay upfront as you do when you self-publish a print book. You do not need an agent. You do not need an editor, sales staff, or publisher. The royalties average around 70 percent.
After all my work, all my frustration, all my disappointments, I think I'd be foolish not to take my novels out of the drawer and offer them as e-books available to the world through Kindle, Barnes & Noble and all the other places, too numerous and too perplexing for me to understand.
So, that's what I've decided to do. Out of the drawer and into the universe. I'm old enough, and bookish enough, that it still seems weird to me. And an e-book is not a "real" book to my mind. But if someone reads my novel, after buying it, and I get paid a little for it, maybe under the new rules I can call myself a novelist at last.
I invite you to come along as I give it a try. My first book may be available by this time next week. Isn't that strange? It's exciting, but incomprehensible to me.

Unconquered Seminoles The Telly-award winning UNCONQUERED SEMINOLES traces the history and identity of Florida's resilient Seminole tribe, one deeply rooted in a pattern of obstacle and challenge, survival and success. Three wars in the 1800s sought to remove the Seminoles from Florida, but they adapted to life in the Everglades and eventually thrived while still preserving their cultural traditions. UNCONQUERED SEMINOLES charts the significant moments in the history of the Seminoles through archival stills and interviews with historians. D

NEWPORT, R.I. (October 6, 2017) - After two days of perfect Southwest Newport breeze, Day Three of the Melges 20 World Championship dawned sunny skies and warm temps, but no wind. As sailors arrived at Sail Newport to begin their preparations, the glassy water was tempting for water skiing. At 09.00, PRO Peter 'Luigi' Reggio announced that the AP would be hoisted and the next announcement would be at 11:30, giving Melges 20 sailors a relaxing morning to check out Newport's best coffee shops.
With the best chance for fair racing being on the outside course due to the light-filling seabreeze and a strong ebb tide, the fleet once again congregated at Course Alpha for a 2:00 p.m. start. The light air was a big change of pace with the World Championship title hanging in the balance, and Day Three proved pivotal in the overall standings. Drew Freides' PACIFIC YANKEE entered the day with a 9-point lead over two-time World Champion John Kilroy on SAMBA PA TI, while several other contenders remained ready to pounce on the smallest opportunity to advance. In essence, Freides and his Pacific Yankees were marked men.
Once to the racing area, Reggio took advantage of the wind on the race course, dropped marks and got the sequence under way. With a port favored line, the pin end was crowded and those that were able to get off the line clean and tack onto port found solid pressure in the middle of the course and made some nice gains. The left looked promising early, but it turned out to be fool's gold as the left side eventually caved hard and the boats on the middle right led at the top mark.
Jason Michas and his MIDNIGHT BLUE team nailed the start close to the pin, flopped onto port and never looked back leading wire-to-wire in challenging, light conditions. Race Six winner Alessandro Rombelli on STIG challenged for the lead and took second, while Vladimir Prosikhin at the helm of NIKA sailed well to grab third in his brand new Melges 20. Michas' win marked the seventh different race winner, showing the depth and balance of the fleet at this World Championship.
Michas commented after his race win, "We tend to like the light stuff, we were able to get off the line nicely and managed to have a couple good upwinds and held our own downwind."
With the win, Michas moved from eleventh overall to seventh, and the fight for the top ten is intense with just 30 points separating fifth from fifteenth. The forecast for the final day is looking raceable and with a 2:00 p.m. final race cut off it will be important to start on time to get in three races for a full series.
Continuing his strong performance in the Corinthian division and overall, Justin Quigg's CHARACTER 2.0 collected another bottle of champagne and looks to close out his Corinthian World title on Saturday. A great Thanksgiving indeed for these Canadian Sailors.
As with other Melges 20 events around the world, racing updates will be posted online at the Official Melges 20 Facebook Page. Be sure to also follow the fleet on Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. Tune in for the latest racing information, results, video interviews and photos at melges20.com.

Zatkoff's first NHL start came at the location of tonight's game. It was his first career loss, the first loss of the season for the Pens, and a game which we would all like to forget ever happened. It is the only game this season that the Pens have surrendered more than 5 goals in a game. It was so bad that people were wishing Letang back faster at that point.
Zatkoff is looking for some redemption for that drubbing and he's a different goalie than that Friday, October night. Mr. Zatkoff is 3-0 (2 starts) in his last 3 appearances and is looking for his third win in nine days tonight.
This will be the first time the Pens have faced Mikey's hero Tim Thomas since March 11, 2012. The Pens chased him out of that game after one period with three goals. Get to Thomas early and the floodgates usually open.
Tonight's Gordie Howe Hat Trick is presented by Mr. Brooks Orpik:
Your 3 tips to win presented by:
1. Blame Bylsma for something in every post you make in this GDT.
2. Pass the puck a minimum of five times before every shot on the power play.
3. Score at least 2 goals because Tomas Fleischmann will score 1.

ST. OLAF, Minn. - All-American senior Uzoma Orji continued to reign dominance in the shot put and weight throw at the NCAA Division III Championships held at the Tostrud Center this past weekend. He placed first in the shot put and second in the weight throw to earn all 18 of MIT's team points. The Engineers finished in eighth place in the 52 team field, while Wisconsin La Crosse won the meet with a total score of 78 points.
Orji began the competition with a second place finish in the weight throw on Friday. His throw traveled 63-11 (19.48 meters), placing him behind junior Kevin Becker of Wisconsin La Crosse. Becker's throw of 68-3.75 (20.82 meters) set a new meet and Tostrud Center record.
Senior Nate Ball also competed for the Engineers on Friday. He reached 15-7.75 (4.77 meters) in the pole vault and tied for ninth place, just missing out on placing for points.
On Saturday, Orji set a record of his own in the shot put. His mark of 58-3.75 (17.77 meters) established a new Tostrud Center record and bested senior Robert Godfrey's (Rowan University) 56-8 (17.27 meters) toss. With the first place finish in the shot put, Orji added another 10 points to the eight he earned on Friday.

I've had this idea for a graphic-novel-esque thing floating around in my head for the past few weeks. Of course, I can't do the art myself, so I'd have to collaborate with an artist in order to make it work. I originally wanted BJ (the guy who does Jackie's Fridge) to work with me on this, but he's unbelievably busy with other stuff.
Anyway, the script for this thing would be really serious in content, and I'd want an artist whose art style is generally cartoonish and slightly goofy in order to offset the seriousness of the script. A manga-style artist would be great, but anyone who's interested would be well-advised to contact me. I'm not extremely picky when it comes to how good your art is (I mean, geez, take a look at AiS), so rev up your Outlook Express and give me a shout. My email addy is firstname.lastname@example.com

What is the difference between a sexual offender and a predator?
According to Kansas Statutes, a sexual offender is a person convicted of (or who has pled no contest or guilty to) a sex offense involving a minor and who is released on or after October 1, 1997 from the sanction (e.g., fine, incarceration, probation, etc.) imposed as a result of the offense. Offenses include, but aren't limited to, child pornography, sexual performance by a child under 18 and procuring a person under 18 for purposes of prostitution. Consult the Kansas Statutes for a complete listing of offenses.
A predator designation requires that a person be convicted of a first-degree felony sex crime or two second-degree felony sex crimes (with offenses, convictions or release from court sanctions occurring within 10 years) and which occurred after October 1, 1993. In addition, the court must issue a written order finding for predator status.

First comes the sitting. You should be relaxed
but comfortably straight as you align
your head and torso, shoulders, neck and spine,
your legs right-angled: soles are roots, feet flexed.
In this position you will find your head
afloat, not heavy. Rest there. Now begin
attending to your breathing, out—and in—
the street noise there but filtered, edited.
Quiet the voice that asks: That's all? Just sitting?
Just being there and breathing? Breathe. Align
your body with the earth, your flitting mind
with all that flies, and welcome, in the One
in whom you live and move and have your being,
things as they are: this chair, this you, this time.
First comes the sitting. You should be relaxed

Ford Motor Company, Coca-Cola and AT&T are first-ever sponsors of live, on-screen double-boxing in entertainment programming
In tonight's live "American Idol" Top 6 results show (8 p.m.), FOX will present an on-screen double-box live camera feed of the show during a commercial break featuring official sponsors Ford, Coca-Cola and AT&T - a television first for entertainment programming.
When "American Idol" cuts to commercial breaks later in the show, the behind-the-scenes excitement will continue live during the ad break, giving viewers an exclusive peek from backstage, the "Idol" stage and the audience. The live show content will appear on-screen simultaneously alongside each official sponsor's commercial airing during the results show. Also, the official series sponsors will gain added exposure with on-screen graphics and wraps in these double-boxed commercial pods.
The "double box" keeps viewers connected to the storytelling of the program by giving the feeling of being at a live show, in turn keeping them attentive throughout the commercial pod and continually engaged with the larger window that features the advertising message. Combined with the branding of the on-screen wrap, ad engagement is heightened over full-screen format, a significant benefit to key sponsors.
The Top 6 is Lazaro Arbos, Janelle Arthur, Candice Glover, Kree Harrison, Amber Holcomb and Angie Miller.

CRESTVIEW � Jackson Harrison, 10, has been mapping his future beyond fourth grade. Thanks to his Walker Elementary School teacher, Kim Medlock, he's pretty sure he's got a plan.
Editor�s Note: This is the eighth in a series on North Okaloosa County Teachers of the Year.
CRESTVIEW � Jackson Harrison, 10, has been mapping his future beyond fourth grade. Thanks to his Walker Elementary School teacher, Kim Medlock, he's pretty sure he's got a plan.
"I want to get a college scholarship to (University of) Tennessee and then go to the NFL," Jackson said. "Sports just runs in our family's blood."
Jacksonknows he'll need good grades to complement his sports prowess, and said Medlock's creative teaching methods excite him about learning.
Under her guidance, for example, he created the Fruit Ninja for science class. It's his favorite class. Classmates had to detect whether an organic material was a fruit using just smell. Vinegar, soil and dryer sheets were among the non-fruit elements.
"It's fun doing the experiments," Jackson said. "We had leftover fruit and Mrs. Medlock let us eat it."
Different needs
The hardest part of teaching � meeting each child's individual academic and social needs � is also the most rewarding, Medlock said.
"They come in on different academic levels," she said. "There's no teaching the same way to all of them. Each child has different needs: some social, some academic."
The reward comes "when the child has that light bulb moment; when a child has transferred that information they've learned to something new. That's the moment."
Medlock has taught for nine years, including a two-year stint as a substitute covering a variety of grade levels and subjects. The Cincinnati native had learned about teaching opportunities here while visiting a friend one summer. She subsequently met former Walker principal Jeanine Williams.
"She asked me to interview and I ended up moving my whole family down here," Medlock said. "She did a pretty persuasive job."
Fourth grade has been "a good match" for her, she said.
"I love everything about my job," Medlock said.
"She's a good teacher all around," Jackson said. "She rewards us if we do well."
Ask questions
Medlock advises new teachers to ask questions of their experienced peers.
"Don't wait until it's too late," she said. "Find a mentor in your grade level and ask lots of questions."
Medlock said she was "very humbled" to discover she had been selected by her peers as Walker's Teacher of the Year.
"There are some teachers on this staff that I look up to tremendously, and to think they think highly of me is really touching," she said.
"It's also a sense of validation when you work so hard," she said. "You can be a good wife and a good mother but when you're recognized by your peers, it's a really good feeling."

Anne Hathaway is taking the moral high ground over her lack of underwear.
Understandably, the "Les Misérables" actress would not have chosen the film's New York premiere to be snapped exiting her car without any unmentionables on -- but such is the life of an actor.
Appearing on the "Today" show to promote the movie musical, anchor Matt Lauer grazed the incident with creepy-uncle-overtures.
PHOTOS: 'Les Miserables' New York premiere
"We've seen a lot of you lately," Lauer said, prompting the actress to immediately divert her gaze in embarrassment.
"Sorry about that," she said (video below) in reference to Monday's incident. "I'd be happy to stay home, but, the film."
Lauer complimented her ability to keep smiling (seriously with the creepy uncle bit, Matt?) and pressed on for any lesson she might have learned.

New martial arts movement tries to bridge gap between Israelis and Palestinians
A group of karate competitors from Israel argues that martial arts can promote peace by bringing people together in an atmosphere of respect.
EMMA ALBERICI, PRESENTER: It's been said that violence begets violence, and the Middle East is often held up as an example of exactly that.
But a group of karate competitors from Israel argues that martial arts can promote peace by bringing people together in an atmosphere of respect.
They've arrived in Australia to launch a local chapter of their movement and events back home have given their mission greater urgency, as Ben MacLean reports.
BEN MACLEAN, REPORTER: Israelis and Palestinians have been fighting since 1948, but seldom like this. And rarely on the same side.
Budo for Peace was founded by Australian-born Israeli Danny Hakim. "Budo" means the way of martial arts and "for peace" is self-explanatory. It's a philosophy that mixes physical training with things like role play to break down cultural barriers.
DANNY HAKIM, FOUNDER, BUDO FOR PEACE: Well, it's not about punching and kicking. It's about having respect for the other person, having self control and creating harmony within yourself and then with others.
HANAN DARWISH, ARAB-ISRAELI KARATE INSTRUCTOR: We leave all the politics and we do just martial arts, and that is a special language between us, and we can talk to each other with this language.
BEN MACLEAN: With the World Karate Championships starting in Sydney this week, the movement which began eight years ago in Israel has been launched internationally. An Australian chapter has been established in Sydney, and Turkey is also on board.
ABED EL SALAIME, PALESTINIAN KARATE COACH: It doesn't just help the Palestinians and Israelis; it helps people from all cultures and areas and throughout the world.
BEN MACLEAN: In a grim coincidence, this push for peace is happening just as rockets and missiles are being exchanged across the Israeli/Gaza border.
DANNY HAKIM: We're very upset about it, very hard for us, but because we're here together, we're now teaching kids. This is what we wanted to do. We didn't want to go to Parliament House and talk about it. We want to show all these kids from different backgrounds how they can get together, bringing communities together.
BEN MACLEAN: Australia's involvement is being welcomed by the police, conscious of the risk that events overseas could breed violence between ethnic communities here.
CAROLYN O'HARE, NSW POLICE COUNTER-TERRORISM UNIT: I think it brings the parties together, and the best way to overcome any of the challenges that are going on at the moment is through relationship and people actually meeting each other.
SHAYAN FRANKEL, ISRAELI COMPETITOR: Like if we meet each other, Jewish people and other people meet each other and be friends... [inaudible] it's it makes us together, all of us. And give us the chance to meet each other and be good friends.
BEN MACLEAN: This generation of Israelis and Palestinians may have failed to find peace, but perhaps programs like this can give their children a fighting chance.

RENO – The University of Nevada (9-6) baseball team defeated UC Santa Barbara (7-8) by a score of 11-7 on Sunday at Peccole Park to win the series, 2-1. With the victory the Wolf Pack improved to 9-6 on the season while the Gauchos dropped to 7-8. It was UCSB's first series loss on the road this season while the Pack has won every weekend series this year taking two of three games from each opponent.
Nevada jumped to an 8-0 lead after five innings behind the pitching of junior Tom Jameson (2-1). The Pack scored three runs in the second inning on just two hits and was aided by two bases loaded walks. Catcher Carlos Escobar, Jr. doubled home two runs as part of Nevada's four-run third inning to give the Pack a 7-0 cushion. Escobar's sacrifice fly in the fifth made the score 8-0.
UCSB scored the next three runs on Ryan Palermo's RBI double in the sixth and Greg Mahle's groundout and Bryce Tafelski's base hit, but a three-run seventh inning by the Wolf Pack was highlighted by Brooks Klein's third hit of the game that scored two and it was 11-3. The Gauchos scored the final four runs to make the final score 11-7.
Gaucho starter Matt Vedo allowed six earned runs in 2.1 innings pitched while four relievers allowed six runs. Tafelski led all batters by going 4-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI.
UCSB starter Matthew Vedo fell to 2-2 after giving up six earned runs in 2.1 innings of action.
Klein (3-for-5,R, 2 RBI) led the Pack with three hits and drove in a pair of runs. Escobar (2-for-3,2R,3RBI) collected two hits and finished with a game-high three RBI. Second baseman Joe Kohan (2-for-5,RBI) also had two hits in the game, scored a run and had an RBI.
UCSB returns home on Tuesday for a game vs. Fresno State before hosting a weekend series vs. Rhode Island. Tickets are available by calling 893-UCSB or clicking here. Tuesday's game vs. the Bulldogs will be broadcast live online by clicking here.
