Its extremly unlikely Labour would win it in my view even less so manor as you suggest. But even if Labour did win Offerton it would make not the slightest difference to the countrol of the authority as as it would merely move seats between oppostion groups.Much more likely give current trends is that Labour will lose Daveport and Cale Green and the Lib Dems regain Offerton taking them to 30.
I can't really see how you expect the Lib Dems to loss Offerton in 2014. The Councillor up for election is John Smith a Tory. I would expect a Lib Dem gain in 2014.
I don't have an allegience to a particular party, I have my own views and try and see which candidate comes closest to my priorities. I'm certainly anti-Labour at the moment because of the hypocrisy and the failures on a national level as well as the questionable misuse of funds we see on a local level elsewhere in hte North west. My question was propted because you seem to be very aware of the personalities in the local political scene. It's the sort of awareness a Labour party activist may have and your interest in Carl's party may well be driven by the national Labour party's spin machine to see the destruction of the Lib dem vote rather than a genuine hope for Carl to do well in local politics.
Si, Don't take this the wrong way but I'm doubting the sincerity of your advice to Carl. Do I take it that you have a rather strong party alligience which is not that to support Carl's party or the eventual winner?
Hi Everyone,I would first like to thank everyone who voted for me and those who worked on the election campaign,the Lib Dems put up the biggest fight I have ever seen in Marple, I believe I was a threat to them and that's why they did so. The Lib Dems had unmatchable resources in Marple, which is something we need to work on for the next election (in 2014).I would like to echo the comments made by the Conservative Group leader Syd Lloyd who said a 34pc turnout played its part as voters mirrored the national mood. He said: "It's been a disappointing night for the Conservatives on Stockport council. We have lost an exceptionally good councillor in Mick Jones and clearly we are disappointed not to have defended Heaton North. National issues clearly impacted on the vote. There has been an extremely low turnout across the borough and this has hit the Conservative vote. I'm deeply disappointed and we will be regrouping in the coming days."I would also like to offer (and did at the count) my sincerest congratulations to Councillor Alexander.As Syd Lloyd said we will regroup and live to fight another day.Regards,Carl Rydings
duke,you may not have noticed but there was a (wesgtern) world wide crisis, not just a UK based one. The tories werent pressing for more regulations. theyre in the bankers back pocket, with over 50% of their donations coming from the financial sector.even camoron and clegg have given up blaming labour for eveything at this point.
Duke,When I say 'we' and you say 'I' we both mean the electorate. Before you point it out to me I know that..."a week is a long time in politics"... But it obvious to me, that David Cameron doesn't really want to win the next election, he has found government much tougher than he anticipated, he certainly doesn't need the money and he daren't resign as that would destroy all his future plans. So he has just decided to progressively commit political suicide and then he will blame the electorate (saying that they have no stomach for the fight)whilst he gallops off as Lord Cthe rest of his party will blame the LibDems. It won't matter about the LibDems as there won't be enough of them left to blame anyone.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.1 > Web Conferencing > Configuring > Configuring User Authentication
Trust External Authentication represents a broad-range of enterprise security software that provides functions like authentication, resource access authorization, Single Sign On (SSO), and intrusion detection. Typically, this software protects your web server by installing a DLL plug-in into the web server service, for example IIS. This DLL plug-in, also called ISAPI Filter, intercepts user login credentials and passes them to a corporate authentication and authorization server. The software must be able to output user IDs in the HTTP header so that they can be passed to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for authentication.
Note: User IDs in the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace profile database are case sensitive. Users cannot log in to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace as guests after you have configured this authentication mode.
Before configuring this authentication mode, make sure that you read the following terms of agreement in Web Conferencing Terms of Use:
- Terms for Single Sign On Software Integration
- Terms of Support for Single Sign On Software Integration
When configuring Trust External authentication, make sure that the /mpweb/scripts/public/ directory is not protected by SSO. Protecting this directory will prevent Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing from functioning properly.
See the following procedures:
- To Configure Trust External Authentication
- To Verify the Trust External Authentication Configuration
To Configure Trust External Authentication
When user IDs are sent to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server, Web Conferencing can apply transformation to user IDs.
If you are also using Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook, complete the Allowing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook Authentication before beginning this procedure.

If you go to me.com on your iPad or iPhone you'll a screen with options to Install Find my iPhone and Gallery, and then a second category labeled as "Requires Paid Subscription", which includes Set up Mail, Contacts, Calendar and Install iDisk.
That's a little confusing since if you tap the iTunes link, you're taken to the App Store which promptly informs you Find my iPhone indeed still requires a paid subscription to MobileMe (or the 60-day free trial). Likewise, MobileMe Gallery still requires a member name and password on launch.
So why put Find my iPhone and Gallery above the pay warning? Why put iDisk below it? Poor design, cheap attempt to get people to download and the push the subscription service, or unintentional glimpse of potentially free aspects of MobileMe to come?
Check out the screen and let me know what you think.
[Thanks Paul for the tip!]

text: Hello all, I am letting my brother in law run a non-profit club website for US military folk. His site has been slowing. From the logs one of the main culprits is a bot/spider from China called Baidu. I have blocked it using robots.txt but it doesn't heed the disallow. Anyway, he has several gigabytes usage per month just from Baidu and some Russian bot. Oddly enough, all these bots from overseas combined don't take up the same bandwidth as this Baidu and russian bot are using lol His military folks could very well be overseas but they do NOT need to find the site via search engine. And since my server is mainly family and friends site I want to block out these bots server wide, rather than altering .htaccess files on each site. So I read this page: http://searchenginewatch.com/article/2067357/Bye-bye-Crawler-Blocking-the-Parasites The article mentions adding the following info to my httpd.conf file which I can find simple enough. Code: SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^Baiduspider" bad_bots SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^Sogou" bad_bots SetEnvIf Remote_Addr "212\.100\.254\.105" bad_bot Order allow,deny Allow from all Deny from env=bad_bots But httpd.conf is currently empty. Is there a different file I should put the info into for ISPConfig 3? Are there any better suggestions for banning these bots? Thanks as always folks, Scott

Thanks to Internet projects like Google Books, older, lesser-known texts that had been hard to find outside a research library are now more available to scholars and general readers. But what about plays meant, of course, to be acted before audiences? For the past several years the Mint Theater in New York has set itself the task of "unearthing, presenting and preserving forgotten plays of merit," often by neglected playwrights, sometimes the lesser-known works of more familiar writers. Just steps away from Times Square but far removed in spirit from the tourist attractions of Broadway, the Mint performs the valuable role of enriching the theater's sense of its own past by sketching in the gaps between the big, bankable names. The theater's artistic director, Jonathan Bank, has done an admirable job of literary archaeology, bringing to light dramatists who, for one reason or another, have not made it into the theatrical canon.
That applies in spades to the author of the Mint's current offering, "Temporal Powers," which has been extended through Oct. 9. Indeed, before last year's fine production of her play "Wife to James Whelan" by the same company, it is probably no exaggeration to say that those who had even heard of Teresa Deevy (1894-1963) could have fit comfortably into the Mint's small space on West 43rd Street. Her obscurity is perhaps more remarkable because she did enjoy a brief period of renown. Born in Waterford, Ireland, the youngest of thirteen, she was stricken in her teens by Meniere's disease, and by the time she reached 20 she had lost her hearing. Deevy went to London to learn lip-reading and reinforced her lessons by going to the theater to watch the actors enunciate. She turned to writing plays, and in 1932 "Temporal Powers" took first prize in a new play contest at the Abbey Theatre, founded a generation earlier by William Butler Yeats and Lady Gregory, the Irish dramatist.
Through the 1930s the Abbey mounted a number of Deevy's plays, and audiences not only in Dublin but in London and America saw her popular "Katie Roche" (which will be staged next year as part of the Mint Theater's ongoing "Teresa Deevy Project"). In 1939 Macmillan published a collection of her plays, and she seemed on her way to becoming an established dramatist. In the 40s, however, a new, more conservative management at the Abbey Theatre rejected one of her works and she largely turned away from the stage to write dramas for the radio, a medium she had never heard in her life. When she died at the age of 68, she had long outlived her fame.
But, as "Wife to James Whelan" made clear, Deevy is a strong writer with a gift for dialogue and the ability to surprise an audience. "Temporal Powers," an earlier work, is not so complex as the other play, but solid nonetheless. The central characters, Michael and Min Donovan (played by Aidan Redmond and Rosie Benton) are destitute, as their pathetically few possessions make clear, and the action takes place in a ruined hovel where the two find shelter after being forced from their farm. The eviction of tenant farmers and the "tumbling" (wrecking) of their cottages was a sadly familiar scene in nineteenth century rural Ireland. But this is 1927: the hated British are gone.
The implication seems to be that little is different in the new Irish Free State. (As a character in Brendan Behan's play "The Quare Fellow" observes, about the only change when Ireland won its independence from Britain was that the police wore different badges in their caps.) Certainly the poor are as miserable and have as few choices as ever; one of the themes of the play is, as Min observes, how poverty can make people mean. The tension between the desires of the heart and the demands of the material world—the "temporal powers"—undergirds the play. From the start, Min berates her husband, hard working but dreamy and without ambition. When Michael asserts that he has done his best, she replies, "Your best! Michael Donovan, it was never in your heart to make money. Now, what worse thing could be said of any man?"
But a way out seems to fall in the couple's path when Michael finds something hidden in a crevice of the wall: 100 pounds wrapped in a piece of cloth. Min immediately sees escape, America, a new life. He, on the other hand, says that the money must belong to someone and the right thing to do is to hand it over to the parish priest. For his wife, this is the last straw: "What is wronger I ask you than crawling through life with tattered rags on your back? … You! With your right and your wrong!" Soon they discover there has been a robbery in the neighborhood and that one of the culprits is Michael's brother-in-law, Ned Cooney (Con Horgan), just released from prison; the hidden money is the loot he comes to retrieve. Min, sick of poverty, proves willing to do whatever she must to hold onto the money, or part of it: "Keeping the law has the world full of cripples, nothing else."
In the course of the evening and the following day, the neighbors (most of them unaware that Michael has found the money) come to offer sympathy to the Donovans in their trouble: Michael's sadly dignified sister, Maggie (Bairbre Dowling); earnest young Moses Barron (Eli James), caught between his overbearing mother, Daisy (Fiana Toibin) and a clinging girlfriend, Lizzie Brennan (Wrenn Schmidt); pompous Jim Slattery (Paul Carlin); and the well-meaning, ineffectual priest, Father O'Brien (Robertson Carricart). Most of them offer advice and opinions on what is "right" (a word repeated many times over), from Slattery's odd passion for the "grandeur [of] the machine of justice" to Father O'Brien's insistence that Min acknowledge her wrong-doing. In response, she attacks the hypocrisy of a church that tells the poor to be content in their poverty, "yet when a rich man shows up he's an ornament to the Church and State." A church that extols the beauty of the Mother of God but tells women who want to "look nice" that they're vain.
Though the tone is serious, even grim at times, there is a comic element as Deevy's characters speak past each other (like those of Chekhov, whom she admired). As in a far more famous Irish play, J.M. Synge's "The Playboy of the Western World," we witness a couple who, because of pride and spite, come to grief by leaving too much unsaid. Under pressure, neither husband nor wife is particularly sympathetic: he slaps her at one point, while her last words in the play are a litany of blame for everyone but herself. Redmond, grave and gaunt, embodies Michael as a man of largely unspoken depths, while Barton plays Min in accord with Deevy's stage directions: "She may be full of despair [but] never merely depressed."
The rest of the cast is also quite good: in particular, Horgan brings an appropriate roguishness to the thief Ned; James makes Moses more interesting than the callow youth he might have been; and Toibin wins most of the evening's laughs as the nosy neighbor. Deevy's language is realistic and down-to-earth (less poetic than Synge's, for example), and while the actors generally do justice to the text, some of them are not entirely at home with the Irish accent, and I fear the audience missed some of the lines.
Teresa Deevy wrote that a play should have the qualities of "suspense, surprise and inevitability." All of these are on display in "Temporal Powers," in which she makes what, in lesser hands, could have been a mere "situation" or contrivance into a rich and heartbreaking moral tale. Thanks are due to Jonathan Bank and the Mint Theater for bringing such a distinctive voice from the past so satisfyingly into the present.

A group of private equity firms is backing former Chesapeake Energy chief Aubrey McClendon in his new exploration and production venture in the Utica Shale in Ohio with $1.7 billion in financial commitments.
A Utica-focused subsidiary of McClendon's new American Energy Partners LP plans to lease and drill 110,000 net acres in the southern region of the eastern Ohio shale play, starting with one rig in the fourth quarter. Over the next two to three years, American Energy wants to increase its rig count to at least 12, the Oklahoma City-based firm said Wednesday.
Financial fallout: New job cuts slash Chesapeake Energy's payroll
The bulk of the new equity comes from The Energy & Minerals Group in Houston, but First Reserve and GSO Capital Partners, both of which have offices in Houston, boosted the young producer, as well. The sum also includes debt from Magnetar Capital and others.
Jumping back into unconventional drilling, McClendon started American Energy in April after departing from the Oklahoma City-based Chesapeake. His exit from the oil and gas producer followed months of controversy surrounding perks he had received and shareholder pressure to shore up the balance sheet.
American Energy said it will be on the prowl for more acreage in the Utica to acquire and develop.

On Saturday November the 17th Detective Mike "The Fighting Dutchman" Klinefelter competed in the third annual Guns n' Hoses
competition at Memorial Hall in Kansas City. Detective Klinefelter walked away with his third win in his
division, and bragging rights over all others. Detective Klinefelter is the only individual who
won consecutive belts in their division for three consecutive years.
Guns 'N Hoses is an amateur boxing show featuring policemen versus firemen from the Missouri counties
of Cass, Clay, Jackson and Platt; and the Kansas counties of Johnson, Wyandotte, and Miami. All bouts
will be supervised by USA Boxing, which is the national governing body of amateur boxing in the United States.
Seventy-five percent of the proceeds go to S.A.F.E. The Surviving Spouse and Family Endowment Fund
exists to serve the families of law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergence service personnel
in the Kansas City Metropolitan area who have perished while protecting our community and their citizens.
We do this in an effort to help ease the pain felt by those suffering families through emotional and
financial support. In this way we hope to repay some of the kindness, dedication and ultimately the
sacrifice that these heroes have shown us. The other twenty-five percent of the proceeds from this
event will go to support local amateur boxing programs to help prevent juvenile delinquency in our community.

Hello everyone! I have a question that has been bothering me for a while. First, I'll explain myself. Ever since I was little, I've been able to tell when someone else is around. It's the feeling that someone is watching you. I never noticed it till I was around 7 or 8 and we moved to the house my parents are currently living in. (I'm now almost 23) I would hear door's closing, when my parents were two houses away at my grandparent's house. I once heard two females talking in the house, when nobody was home. My sensitivity to it got stronger a month and a half before my grandfather died. Six year's ago, a month and half before my grandfather died, I woke up one day with a weight on my chest. I felt horrible. Sad, depressed and I felt like I was in mourning. I told my best friend at the time everyday for that month and half that someone close to me was going to die. I just felt it. The mourning I felt is what you feel when you lose a loved one. October of 2004 my grandfather passed away of a sudden heart attack in his garage. It was like everything went into slow motion. Everything came rushing back to me and I realized that I had been right all along.
After he passed, my grandma came to live with us. She was in late stages of Alzheimer and couldn't take care of herself. My mom and I were in their house looking for Christmas decorations when all of a sudden I had this strong feeling that something was watching us. You know, when the hairs stand up on your arms and you get the chills. I looked around and asked my mom, "Do you feel like we're being watched?" She said that she felt it too. This was the first time that it scared me. I felt threatened. (I wasn't close to my grandpa. He use to beat my mom, oldest aunt and my grandma when my mom and them were younger. He even abused my grandma months before he passed. I didn't have much love for him.) Then it started happening in my parents house. My grandma started seeing and talking to him. My mom kept hearing what sounded like a man wearing boots walking up and down our hallway at night (my grandpa always wore boots). We had melted candle wax end up on top of the coffee table underneath the scarf, when brand new candles hadn't even been lit yet. One time, I felt someone walk past me. When I looked to see if it was my grandma's nurse, nobody was there and the door was closed. After my grandma passed, my brother and I witnessed three picture frames flying off a shelf at the same time for no reason.
When I met my fiance I automatically felt a protective presence around him. Not threatening in anyway. But it was like someone is hanging around him just to protect him. I could tell it was male and that it was either a brother or another male relative of his. Come to find out, his brother committed suicide back in 2000. Him and my fiance had been close. When he told me about his brother I said, "That's it!" He looked at me puzzled. I said, "I've been feeling him around you. I just couldn't figure out how he was related to you. He's protecting you. He wants you to know that." He got quiet and I apologized for just blurting it out and asked if that sounded like something his brother would do. He said his brother was very protective of him when he was alive. I now feel his brother around me. Maybe he's taken me in as a sister and is protecting me also. I'm not sure.
That's only the tip of the iceberg of what I've felt concerning spirits. My mother, my late grandmother, both of my aunts and my great aunt have the ability to sense things like I do. However, they have dreams of things happening and then it comes true. I haven't had that. My ability of sensing spirits being around is stronger than the other ladies in my family.
Now to my question. I'm currently expecting my first child (due in Dec.). It'll be the first for me and my fiance. (He has no other children and neither do I.) Is it possible for this ability to be passed on to different generations or could it just be a coincidence that we all have sensitive abilities? (sorry this post is so long.)
Passed On?

Personally, I don't believe that sensitivity to spirits is an ability that cannot be inherited because I believe everybody has it.
Nevertheless, it surely does seem to be prevalent in your family, doesn't it? I think it's a wonderful ability and I hope you do too.
Children are very prone to see spirits because their 3rd eyes are still open. I hope this is an ability you will foster.
Trust me, it i not really a scary thing.

I beg to differ, I mean we inherit personality traits that are similar to are parents and their parents and so on. I really don't see why we can't inherit some ability in the spiritual sense of things. However it may skip a generation, best example is my dad is a great artist and can draw portraits freehand in full detail, and I cannot draw a straight line for the life of me.
Posted 31 October 2011 - 06:54 AM
Also they have recently discovered that memories can be genetic. For example you can feel like you have been to a place but you have never been there. Come to find out your parents spent a large amount of time there.
Posted 07 June 2012 - 05:35 PM
Now that is interesting for sure. Really makes me thing about places I've been and thought I had been there before.
Right this way to my haunted space.

MADRID — I left the vigil early last night and planned on going to a stadium in west Madrid this morning to watch the closing Mass on their giant screen with many other pilgrims that could not get to Cuatro Vientos, or had left the vigil. Unfortunately, they canceled it! I've been watching on TV from my hotel…a better view anyway! I've actually heard from some other pilgrims that they are doing the same thing…
Even though we are not at the airbase with the 1 million + people, there is still a sense of community and togetherness I feel by watching the Mass on TV, just as I expect Catholics all over the world who are following WYD from home to feel in communion with those of us here in Madrid.
After all, WYD is all about coming together, no matter where you are from or where you are going if your life. We are all one in Christ.
I'm hoping to get into Mass at Almudena Cathedral today…say a prayer for me that I can make it!
Next stop after Madrid? Maybe Rio ; )
Sara Angle, 21, is a senior at Villanova University and has written for CNS from Rome and Washington. She enjoys traveling and soaking up the culture of her surroundings, be it through food, fashion or faith, and looks forward to covering WYD for CNS — from the big events to the off-beat adventures.

Spotlight Ethiopia: arming wildlife crime busters with new knowledge and skills
More than 30 Ethiopian law enforcement officials recently assembled for a five-day training workshop on the ways and means of preventing wildlife trafficking.
Jointly organised by the Ethiopia Wildlife Conservation Authority (EWCA) and IFAW, the specially designed workshop, which according to EWCA was a first of its kind in Ethiopia, was attended by Ethiopia Revenue and Customs officials, Federal Police, Defence Force, Interpol National Central Bureau, Federal Court and EWCA.
With the Director General of EWCA, Ewnetu Bilata announcing that Babile Elephant Sanctuary had lost 30 elephants in the last 12 months, it was a poignant reminder for the trainees, trainers and workshop organisers that criminal gangs are working non-stop to deprive off Africa and the world at large the rich wildlife heritage.
As the first project of a three-year partnership between EWCA and IFAW, the workshop was deemed a success by both the trainees and trainers. Indicators were clear that capacity had been increased following a needs assessment prior to the workshop and on conclusion of the five days.
The training sessions included wildlife trade status by species, identification of species, wildlife crime and enforcement, international trade conventions and organisations, inter-agencies cooperation and national legislations and enforcement. Besides ID manuals of species status under CITES, the trainees were also given manuals on wildlife species in Ethiopia.
Playing Hide and Seek with 'Customs Officials'
In one of the training's practical exercises, participants were given the role of either customs officers or passengers in transit. Given that over 90% of trainees had neither been exposed to various wildlife products that are under CITES regulations nor the smuggling tactics employed by traffickers, it was interesting to watch about 30% of the 'passengers' being nabbed for trafficking offences.
Needless to say that many 'passengers' managed to smuggle their products through the customs check – one had worn her product (shoes); several had tied their belts; the clincher was a ten kilogramme piece of polished raw ivory, much to the chagrin of the 'customs officials' and amusement of other 'passengers' and trainers.
This role play exercise has two main objectives – to evaluate whether the participants have grasped and understood the theoretical sessions of species identification, wildlife smuggling tactics, law enforcement and international trade conventions and regulations, amongst others that are conducted in the three preceding days. Secondly, it is an eye-opener for the participants to observe how cunning, creative and unconventional human beings can be in real life when involved in a vice such as wildlife trafficking.
In the Markets of Addis Ababa
Feigning to be customers interested in wildlife products particularly ivory trinkets, the trainees and trainers casually strolled through three main markets in Addis Ababa to conduct a mock survey.
Most yielded nil either because the traders were suspicious or some traders categorically said that they had stopped handling owing to the risks or the 'shoppers' were not persistent enough. Only a handful of traders gave an indication that the illegal trade still exists, and a discerning and persistent shopper can get their heart's desire, at a fee of course.
When I was last in Addis Ababa some eight years ago, wildlife products including ivory were on open display in the markets. Hence, it was a pleasant surprise this time that most traders were not trading in ivory, but are aware that dealing in the product is a sure way of becoming a state guest – an indicator that EWCA's efforts in the last two years or so on law enforcement and public outreach and awareness are yielding positive results.
"In the last two years, we have achieved good tangible results by working with other government agencies such as the Federal Investigations, the Federal Police and Courts. EWCA has conducted awareness programmes for these agencies and the Federal Police we have worked with can now tell between plastic and ivory," Yeneneh Teka, Director of Wildlife Development & Protection Directorate, EWCA.
Mr Teka added that they could do a lot more outreach and awareness programmes, but their biggest impediment is scarcity of resources. This is one of the areas that the partnership between EWCA and IFAW hope to boost in the coming years.
Post-Workshop Actions
At the close of the workshop, the trainees gave several recommendations and commitments, key among them that they would share the skills and knowledge acquired with their colleagues at their respective stations; that they would work towards establishing a formal network between national enforcement agencies; and various actions needed to be taken by the relevant agencies and other non-state actors towards elevating prevention of wildlife trafficking as a Government priority.

A.G. Schneiderman Secures Guilty Plea From Former Insurance Agent Who Stole Over $300,000 From Elderly Couple
Defendant To Make Restitution To Victims And Face Prison Time
Schneiderman: My Office Will Swiftly Bring To Justice Anyone Who Targets The Life Savings Of The Most Vulnerable New Yorkers
POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. - Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman today announced that a former insurance agent in Saratoga County has pleaded guilty to defrauding an elderly Dutchess County couple and stealing more than $300,000 from them during a nearly eight-year period. Joseph A. Marvullo, 64, of Greenfield, New York pleaded guilty to one count of Grand Larceny in the Second Degree, a Class C Felony. Marvullo entered his plea in Dutchess County Court before the Honorable Peter M. Forman.
"Today a financial predator is being held accountable for brazenly stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from an elderly couple," Attorney General Schneiderman said. "My office will swiftly bring to justice those who abuse the trust of vulnerable New Yorkers to steal their life savings."
Under the terms of his plea agreement, Marvullo will be sentenced to a minimum of two to six years and a maximum of five to fifteen years imprisonment. Marvullo will also be ordered to pay over $300,000 in restitution to the victims when he is sentenced on September 10 and will be barred from further employment or participation in any consumer, insurance, or investment matters. The judge noted that if Marvullo violates his plea agreement he could be sent to prison for up to five to fifteen years.
Marvullo met his victims through their church, and gained their trust in part by holding himself out as a fellow Christian. Once he gained their trust, he deceived them into turning over their life savings to him.
Marvullo, who was a self-employed, independent insurance agent and broker, induced his victims to liquidate valuable annuities and write checks directly to him in his name. He lured his victims into his scheme by claiming that he could sell them higher-yielding insurance and investment products than the annuities they owned. Between approximately December 27, 2000 and July 15, 2008, the victims wrote more than eighty checks totaling at least $308,652.71, payable directly to the defendant. Marvullo never used the checks they wrote to him to purchase any insurance or investment products on their behalf. Instead, he stole their money.
When the victims sought to withdraw funds from the investments that Marvullo falsely claimed to have made on their behalf, he strung them along for years. He avoided meetings and calls while seeking to retain their trust and sympathy. He claimed various personal misfortunes, including health problems and marital troubles, and laced his emails with various religious references, typically signing them "GOD BLESS-JOE." He was caught when the victims got fed up with his excuses and reported him to the Attorney General's office.
Any additional investors or consumers who believe they were defrauded by this defendant, Joseph A. Marvullo, are requested to contact the Attorney General's helpline at 1-800-771-7755.
The case was investigated by Office of the Attorney General Investigator Dennis Churns under the supervision of Deputy Chief Investigator Antoine Karam. It is being prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Joshua Vinciguerra, under the supervision of Deputy Bureau Chief Stephen Maher, Bureau Chief Gail Heatherly, and Executive Deputy Attorney General for the Criminal Division Kelly Donovan.

George W Childs Recreation Site within Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area reopened on May 23, after a near three-year closure. The project cost $2.9 million.
George W. Childs Recreation Site within Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area reopened on May 23, after a near three-year closure. The project cost $2.9 million.
The destination has been completely rehabilitated bringing it closer to the original vision that wealthy Philadelphia philanthropist and publisher George W. Childs had for it when he first dedicated it to the public in 1892 as a place for people to enjoy nature.
Childs died in 1894 and his widow donated the site to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1912. It was operated as a state park until 1983 when the Commonwealth donated the property to the National Park Service.
The site now includes an accessible trail and picnic sites that meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards. Bridges, walkways and overlooks have been restored to a condition much like what visitors would have seen in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. New restroom facilities, parking areas and picnic sites complete the setting. Wayside exhibits explaining the story of the site will be installed along the trail and at overlooks at a later date.
Volunteers of the Millbrook Village Society milled all of the lumber for the project from trees cut down in the park to make way for the expansion of State Route 2001. "We did not want to waste a single tree," Park Superintendent John Donahue said. "PennDOT helped us immensely by delivering trees that had to be removed from NPS land for the road project and the volunteers from the Millbrook Village Society provided the sweat equity to make the work beautiful and honor the conservation ethic of the park and its founder George W. Childs."
Black locust trees that were removed from the grounds of Grey Towers National Historic Site were also used in the project.
"This project was very important to me," Donahue said. "Childs Park "� represents everything that the NPS stands for, including preservation of natural and cultural resources and partnerships with our local neighbors."
"It is one of the crown jewels of Pike County, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and the National Park Service and we are extremely pleased to be able to share it with the public once again."
Park Deputy Superintendent Bill Leonard said almost everyone in the park contributed in some way to the completion of the project. In April, an employee work day was held during which staff members from all divisions pitched in to complete the final touches to the site before opening.
Childs Park is one of several locations in the park to be designated as a "carry in, carry out site this year. Visitors must take everything they bring in, including trash, with them when they leave.
Celebrity magnet George William Childs was born May 12, 1829, in Baltimore. He rose from humble, obscure beginnings to become a millionaire, rubbing elbows with the likes of President Grover Cleveland, Charles Dickens, Nathaniel Hawthorne and Walt Whitman. Two of his closest friends were Anthony J. Drexel (1826-1893) — the Wall Street banker and founder of Drexel University — and Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885), who often stayed at Childs' house when visiting Philadelphia, and at whose funeral Childs was a pallbearer. Childs' parentage is unclear. Even in his autobiography, "Recollections" (1890), he makes no mention of his parents or the circumstances of his birth. One source claims he was the unacknowledged son of a prominent Baltimore man, and another clue claims that he was given his father's name — but there is no mention at all of his mother. Hard-working At age 14, Childs was living in Philadelphia where years of hard work and successful business ventures would allow him to purchase the floundering Philadelphia Public Ledger in 1864. About that time, he married Emma Bouvier Peterson (1843-1928), the daughter of one of his former partners. They had no children. Not only did Childs make the Ledger a success, but he shared his good fortune by implementing many progressive labor practices — securing pensions and life insurance for his employees, providing financial support for housing and even refusing to accept an offer from the Typographers Union to reduce employee wages during the depression of 1870. Among his many philanthropic gifts, he donated several stained glass memorial windows at churches in London for poets such as Milton, as well as a memorial fountain at Stratford-on-Avon to honor the birthplace of Shakespeare. He was the largest contributor to the Edgar Allan Poe monument in Baltimore. George William Childs died in Philadelphia on Feb. 3, 1894. At the time, he was worth $13 million, according to published accounts at the time. (Today, that estate, adjusted for inflation, would be worth $340 million.) Pike park He was temporarily laid to rest in the Drexel Mausoleum at Woodland cemetery, until 1896 when his remains were moved to the newly completed Childs mausoleum at Laurel Hill Cemetery. At his funeral, J.P. Morgan and Cornelius Vanderbilt were among the 35 gentlemen selected as pallbearers. Childs purchased 53 acres in Pike County in 1892, and created Childs Park, a rural retreat for the benefit of the public. In 1912, his widow, Emma Childs deeded the property over to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and since 1983 it has been part of the National Park Service.

Good morning.
I hope you all had an enjoyable Labor Day weekend. I was away, but still followed the Mets scores even though I wasn't able to watch the games.
The last two days typified the season in that it was a blowout win followed by a blowout loss. Two opposite ends of the spectrum. Good and bad. It has been that way all season. Consistency, but in a mediocre way.
It was disappointing to see Mike Pelfrey's performance. He's been great for an extended period, then lousy for a time, seemed to turn it around and now has lost it again.
Of all the issues in the final weeks of the season, the question of Pelfrey is the most pressing to me. I was optimistic of a strong finish to enter the offseason on a positive note, but now I'm wondering what it's going to take for Pelfrey to put it together for a full season. Even Jerry Manuel called him "an enigma,'' after the game. That's a word that has been tossed around for several years about Pelfrey.
At one time Pelfrey was 9-1 and cruising. Now he's 13-9, sputtering and there's nothing you can hand your hat on with him. Pelfrey, his skills and potential notwithstanding, is a career 41-40 after yesterday's loss.
This year was supposed to be a breakout season for him. Instead, it has defined him as an average pitcher with a lot of work to do.

WASHINGTON, DC — The same old bad news still holds true today: two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese, with one-third of the population in the obese category. But a new report shows that the obesity rate has been at a plateau for 10 years.
The report, based on statistics from the National Center for Health Statistics at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, was published in the February issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
"The increases in the prevalence of obesity previously observed do not appear to be continuing at the same rate over the past 10 years, particularly for women and possibly for men," the report stated.
For 2007-2008, the obesity rate (defined as those with a BMI of 30 or greater) was 33.8 percent overall. For men, the rate was 32.2 percent, and for women, it was 35.5 percent.
For overweight and obese combined, the study found that 68 percent of the adult population was overweight (BMI of 25 or greater) or obese, with 72.3 percent of men fitting in this category along with 64.1 percent of women.
From 1988-1994, the rate of obesity increased 8 percentage points compared to 1976-1980. However, from 1999-2008, the study found no significant increase in obesity among women. During the same time period, men did have a significant increase in obesity, rising from 27.5 percent to 32 percent, but that rate has not changed between 2003 and 2008, according to the study.
The findings came from analysis of height and weight measurements from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey of 5,555 U.S. men and women from 2007-2008, which were compared with measurements from 1999-2006.

2008-01-30 / Columnists
Pets, Pets, Pets . . .
Progress in the Search for Sensation: Sunday April 22nd, 1923…Do you happen to recall what you were doing that day? Sure wish someone did. This date is precisely when the Babylon buildings that were once the Westminster Kennel Club (WKC) clubhouse and kenn els burned to the ground, the result of huge brush fires that winds swept south from Pine Lawn nearly 85 years ago.
Missing microfilm turns out to be part of the problem. Although I spent many a day scanning local papers from 1918-1940 for the actual fire and/or a mysterious scrapbook photo that alludes to the blaze being "some 14 years ago"...Nothing, zilch. In the NY Times/Brooklyn Eagle archives I found a 1902 brush fire that skirted the Belmont and WKC grounds, but that was too early, too small. Finally after Googling odd word combos I hit the journalistic jackpot.
Amityville's Lauder Historical Museum turns out to be a treasure trove- (As the Good Witch Glinda told Dorothy-"Sometimes you have to leave home to find home".) Two more papers there confirm the firethe LI Sun 4/27/1923 is vivid but misspells "Ewell"- and also that day the Amityville Record, yes, the same paper some of you are reading now, praises Amityville fire department's help with their chemical engine.
The article goes on to say that the garages (and autos) of Isaac Sprague and Mr. Humminger were razed while the N. Babylon stock farm of David Smith was saved by the firemen and dying winds. The Times credits the Bay Shore firemen for responding too. The damage was estimated at $70,000. On a 1915 map the Sprague and Smith properties span the WKC clubhouse to the NW and NE, but I would love to see where the other burned homes were. I've yet to hear if there is any notation in Babylon fire department's log. I need to contact W. Babylon too.
Re-visiting the Ewell family photos, now I do believe that 3 unmarked fire photos are the old kennels ablaze, including the one in the 11/15/07 "Pets" (online archives) with ladies and, ironically, a Pointer as witnesses. Today's picture shows men trying desperately to extinguish the flames. The Record says that there was "no water to be had except for hand pumps at the houses and the supply served only to replenish the chemical tanks." Homes would have equipment priority over empty kennels. A few months ago, I took the photos to a vintage clothes store where the owner agreed that these could be from the '20s because country folks, unlike "city slickers", would have held onto old coats and hats longer. Consider this-do you grab your Sunday best to fight or watch a fire?
A 1923 major fire helps answer other Babylon WKC questions when and why the WKC superintendent's farmhouse was moved a second time to the other side of Livingston. In 1884 WKC moved this 1700s farmhouse first to the NE corner of Livingston to make room for the fancier clubhouse, so this undated picture of Ewell's son shows the farmhouse in the upper right-hand corner, likely before the fire. When I was trying to figure the year, Tom Smith, Babylon Town historian consulted an antique auto expert who says the vehicle is a 1914 Cole Roadster. Cars like fashion can hint at the earliest possible year, but not the latest. Therefore, the farmhouse was moved across the street shortly after 1923 to its present location, probably since the property damage was so massive. We know a slightly crooked foundation left over from another fire stood waiting.
But where, oh, where was the farmhouse originally? That's where the phantom clubhouse is supposed to be. Just uncovered an 1873 map, pre-WKC, which might point us to the famous Pointer. Perhaps a story for another day. Coming next week, a tangential discovery: Belmont's role in the dog fancy and a wonderful find on his N. Babylon estate.
Back at Babylon Town Shelter (643-9270) Lamar St. W. Babylon "The Brussels Sprout" an 8 mon. Belgian Malinois/Shep mix puppy waits for someone to take him home. This handsome fellow in Cage 9 is lovable but needs to learn the basics. There are also lots of deserving Pit mixes like patient "Bukus', a Pit with Shepherd coloring in Cage 11. See more on Babylon's Petfinder.
Cats: "Grey"- solid silver abandoned with her kitten, now in the lobby cage; a plump muted calico-C-9, declawed, spayed, FeLV/FIV tested, loving-need I say more?

On the 16th February 2003, the Invertebrate team at Melbourne Zoo received a pair of one of the rarest invertebrate species on the planet, the Lord Howe Island stick insect (Dryococelus australis). The pair was affectionally known as Adam and Eve. We knew from the moment they arrived that we had just one chance to secure the long term survival of this Critically Endangered species. To add to the enormity of the task, virtually nothing was known about the species, so around the clock observations were initiated for the first few weeks.
The Lord Howe Island stick insect was abundant on Lord Howe Island until the accidental grounding of a supply ship in 1918. Black rats (Rattus rattus) escaped the grounded vessel, and by the 1930s the Lord Howe Island stick insect was presumed extinct. In 2001, a five-member scientific team landed on Balls Pyramid, a rocky outcrop 23kms off the coast of Lord Howe Island, and miraculously rediscovered a very small and vulnerable population of this "lost" species. This began the significant challenge of securing a population to save them from extinction.
There have been many challenges since this species arrived under the care of the Invertebrate team at Melbourne Zoo, Australia. Since 2003 we have hatched over 10,000 individuals and have now developed world class facilities and knowledge of how to care for this species. This is a momentous achievement, as they can be extremely difficult to keep alive, let alone successfully breed.
At any one time we house between 400 and 500 stick insects in different purpose-built glasshouses and incubate thousands of eggs. A sample of eggs is measured and weighed in weekly batches and will then be incubated for between 6 to 9 months before hatching. Each nymph that hatches at Melbourne Zoo has a length measurement taken for our records. In 2013 Melbourne Zoo is breeding our 10th generation.
A number of scientific studies have been undertaken over the past 10 years, including investigating mate selection and parthenogenesis. Diet is an important aspect of animal husbandry and continual research and adjustments have taken place. 2013 sees the invertebrate department expand this work with investigations of plant species from Lord Howe Island both within Zoo grounds and on Lord Howe Island. All of this adds to the data base of important information on the species.
The Lord Howe Island stick insect is an integral species in Zoos Victoria's "Fighting Extinction" campaign. In 2012 the Australian Federal Government and New South Wales State Government announced funding of AUS $9.2 million dollars to eradicate black rats from Lord Howe Island. It is hoped that this will restore the natural ecosystem of one of the world's most beautiful heritage sites. One day we hope to see this species back in its natural environment on Lord Howe Island. The future of the Lord Howe Island stick insect now looks very bright indeed.
Wildscreen patron, Sir David Attenborough visited the Lord Howe Island Stick Insect at Melbourne Zoo in August, 2012.

Sept. 19, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Anna Teruya and Nirupama Yechoor each collected their first-career hat tricks as MIT blanked Daniel Webster College, 9-0, in non-conference field hockey action Friday night. Jessica Oleinik scored twice, while freshman Katie Kauffman recorded her first goal for the Engineers.
MIT got on the board early, as Oleinik put home a rebound just 1:27 into the game. Yechoor would add her first goal a few minutes later, scoring off of a penalty corner from Ekavali Mishra. Yechoor then extended Tech's lead with just over 20 minutes remaining in the half on an unassisted goal. Teruya would score twice in the half, both as a result of penalty corners, with Oleinik's second goal coming in the middle. MIT took a 6-0 lead into the locker room, outshooting the Eagles, 13-0, in the first half.
Teruya had a chance at another goal early in the second but was turned away on a brilliant defensive save by Daniel Webster freshman defender Sarah Steves. Kauffman tallied the first goal of her MIT career 21 minutes into the second half to give the Engineers a 7-0 advantage. Teruya would complete her hat trick with just under six minutes remaining and Yechoor added her final goal less than 30 seconds later.
Daniel Webster goalkeeper Amy Prince made eight saves in the losing effort. Keri Dixon picked up her third win in net for MIT.

Rabbi Marcia Prager has been the spiritual leader at West Mt. Airy's P'nai Or congregation for 18 years. In Hebrew, the word "chai," which means "life," has the numerical value of the number 18. It's an important meaning for a thriving community led by a dedicated rabbi. On October 28 and 29 P'nai Or held a two-day celebration of Rabbi Prager's contributions to the congregation and to the Jewish world in general.
"I've been privileged to serve a wonderful community of warm, caring, sharing, sweet, wonderful people," said Rabbi Marcia.
The celebration began with a Kavannah Shabbat, which is a joyous, song-filled "love fest," as Rabbi Marcia described it. It was filled with live music and dinner at the end of the night. P'nai Or continued the next morning with their regular "Shabbat" morning service, led by Rabbi Marcia and her husband, "Hazzan" Jack Kessler, a musician and master of Jewish song and liturgy.
As it turned out, people from all over the Eastern seaboard and even as far as Oregon drove and flew in for the service and celebration. The rest of the day's festivities included an exceptional potluck lunch, small gatherings and another music-filled gala and dinner to close the weekend. Jack Kessler's band, Klingon Klezmer, performed at the celebration.
"Everyone danced and feasted; it was really quite a weekend … A lot packed into two wonderful days," said Rabbi Marcia, still glowing a few days after the events.
Rabbi Prager first came to P'nai Or as a student, then became a member and is now, according to her, just is one of its many leaders. "P'nai Or is not a very traditional synagogue in which there's the 'leadership' and the 'followership.' In P'nai Or there are many wonderfully skilled co-leaders. Everyone contributes and leads with their gifts."
Rabbi Marcia speaks of the synagogue as a place where people can hone their gifts, share with each other, learn leadership skills and give. She believes the environment that everyone has helped to create at P'nai Or makes it a loving and non-judgmental place. It's due to these traits that Marcia describes P'nai Or as "unusual and unique" in the most positive of ways.
"P'nai Or's unusual in a variety of different ways. Not only the way in which leadership is shared, and service leadership is shared, but the style of the prayer," added Marcia, describing the sight of people dancing in the aisles, singing and clapping as a real "celebratory atmosphere."
People don't sit in the pews and pray with their knees down and hands closed, and Rabbi Marcia prefers it that way. The prayers are sung in a blend of Hebrew and English. While Hebrew prayers are often sung, their translations are simply read instead. "In a way, we're praying in 'Heblish,'" she said.
At P'nai Or it's not unheard of to have opportunities for meditation, reflection sharing, and genuine conversation with each other about important and meaningful topics in the middle of service. When Rabbi Marcia reads the torah, she welcomes people who may be touched by a specific story to come up by her side at the desk. "People are invited to have a very personal relationship with scripture."
Marcia is a Jewish Renewal Rabbi, and P'nai Or is a Jewish Renewal Congregation. Jewish Renewal aspires to create models of Jewish expression that are contemporary and also speak to the heart as well as the mind. The full inclusion of women is embraced.
Mt. Airy has a significant Jewish presence, and P'nai Or is just one of four Jewish congregations in West Mt. Airy. P'nai Or does not have its own building but is located inside the community wing of Summit Presbyterian Church, 6757 Greene St. (at Westview). It was founded by Rabbi Schacter-Shalomi in 1973.
Rabbi Marcia, 59, was named one of the top 50 most influential female rabbis (aka The Sisterhood 50) by The Jewish Daily Forward newspaper. This entire list is particularly impressive considering that the first female rabbi in America, Rabbi Sally J. Priesand, was ordained as recently as 1972. There were no female rabbis around when Marcia was growing up; she garnered inspiration from the women's ordination movement in what she views as the liberal Jewish world.
"We are proud to have Rabbi Prager, one of America's 50 most influential women rabbis, as our spiritual leader," said Elyse Seidner-Joseph, chairperson of the Chai celebration.
"I don't do what I do in order to be recognized or be on a list," said Rabbi Prager, "but it is delightful to have my achievements noticed. It's particularly moving to live a life in which I am able to do the work of my heart and contribute in important ways to the world … Being a Rabbi offers me an opportunity to bring Jewish values into the heart of how I and an extraordinary community live our lives."
Rabbi Marcia Prager, originally from Queens, New York, moved to Philadelphia in 1984. She and Kessler, who have been married since the late '80s, lead workshops together at P'nai Or. They have a son, Aaron, 21, a senior at Temple University. Rabbi Marcia is also a teacher, author, artist and therapist. She became a therapist after graduating from a four-year training program in marriage and family therapy at Penn Council For Relationships. She also earned a B.A. in cultural anthropology along with an M.F.A. in photography and drawing from Pratt Institute, New York. She is the author of "The Path of Blessing," and she works for ALEPH: Alliance for Jewish Renewal. For more information, visit www.pnaior-phila.org or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

UK ISPs To Start Tracking Your Surfing To Serve You Ads
from the pirvacy-please dept
While Phorm claims that it keeps your data private "by tracking individual users with an assigned number only," that's hardly assuring. After all, remember that both AOL and Netflix have released similar anonymized data where identifying info was replaced with an assigned number... and it didn't take long for both sets of data to be de-anonymized. While it's no surprise that ISPs would want to get into the advertising business, and to think that they could better target ads thanks to their knowledge of your entire surfing history, it's going to freak some people out (and potentially cause some serious privacy problems). All the more reason to figure out how encrypt your traffic and hide your activities from your ISP.

Great one I love big cats, This one is stunning
Well.. there are edges that are lost.. but glad you like what I did for the most part.
Nice! Wonderful composition and use of color, particularly the violet! This has a great sense of depth and perspective. Losing a few edges here and there, maybe on the tips of the ears and occasionally around the face would connect it to the background and enhance that sense of depth. Very nice eyes!
Hi Barbara... Thank you for nice comments at my gallery. All I have to say about your gallery is, WOW! You are amazing! I'm especially fond of cats so your work really appeals to me, everything about it. I can't wait to go and take a look at your website (assuming you have one, I have yet to completely peruse your gallery here). Keep up the good work! =)
Absolutely top-notch work, Barbara! Your stuff always is...
I can see the magic in his eyes....beautiful colored pencil work! Truly lovely.

I bought these onesies for my grandchildren, somehow my product was lost in transit, I contacted both usps and fine art, usps said it shipped but never made it to them. Fine art emailed me back and shipped what i ordered within days. I hold a high standard to a company that does this. And therefore I WILL order again. Most companies will say its your loss but not Fine Art
Here's another Frankenstein.. different parts from different photos. I believe there are pieces from Cincinnati, Akron and San Diego Zoo, with odd parts from Cleveland and Columbus. In a private collection.
05-19-17: Due to the injury of my index finger I can no longer work the hours I used to so I'm working on very short timelines. What that means is that it's going to take me a lot longer to get anything done. You never realize how important a thing like a finger is until you damage it!!! Bear with me, I will post anything new as I finish them. Also, I would like to let all the groups that I belong to know that I'm trying to catch up on everything - considering I lost about a year in total where I really couldn't do much. Sorry for the influx. 07-07-16: Will be absent again due to a torn tendon in my right hand (index finger). Will be gone for at least 8 weeks 04-09-16: I just want to let every one know that I will probably be absent...

Despite windy and cold conditions, Amanda beat a field of 43 women in the 800m with a time of 2:18.13. Later she helped lead the Lipscomb women's 4x400m Relay A team to victory as well, running a 58-second split. Amanda now has three wins in the outdoor season, out of two meets (she won the 1500m last week at UNF).
"Amanda is a terrific middle distance runner," head coach Bill Taylor said. "It's been a terrific indoor, and now outdoor, season for her. She ran a big negative split in the 800m.
"Like last week in the 1500m, the pace just wasn't fast early on. They came through in 71 seconds for the first lap. So she put in pretty close to a 66- second lap. There were pretty strong winds throughout most of the meet and it was cold. Amanda did a great job in both races!"
Other highlights of the meet included a more than 40-second PR for Louisa Van Batavia in the women's 5000m (18:32.94, 3rd place) and another woman, Priya Pappu, under 5:00 in the 1500m ( 4:56.21, 9th place).
Six out of seven men in the 5000m set new PRs (Isaiah Greer, 15:49.14, Jared Carlson, 15:53.60, Mike Yang, 15:57.17, Benton Reed, 15:59.15, Hunter Hethcoat, 16:20.97 and Ben Wright, 16:27.09). Jonathan Williams won in the men's steeplechase (the only men's event win on the day for Lipscomb).
"I was happy with the meet," Taylor said. "The conditions were tough, spring break just started, yet our athletes went out and competed very hard. It was a great way to go into the break and a very positive sign for the rest of the season."
The next meet is the Austin Peay Spring Fling March 20 in Clarksville, Tenn.

Executive summary of what I've been up to the past few months:
September: Spent a week in Utah and Idaho climbing their high points, Kings and Borah, both nice peaks, a bit of fun scrambling on Borah's Chicken Out Ridge. A few days later flew to Minneapolis on a work trip (why yes, I DID visit the Mall of America) and squeezed in a drive waaay up north to hike Eagle Mountain, MN's HP. (Four to go now!) From there it was on to Vermont for a couple of weeks to visit family & friends amidst the fabulous annual foliage display and where, on a bit of a whim, I decided to do my favorite 50 miler, the VT50, for the 13th time. Considering the lack of real training, I was happy enough to eke out a 9:19, good enough for 5th woman and first master chick. This was my one and only ultra race of 2008!
October: A few days on either end of a work trip to Gallup, New Mexico allowed us to visit the Grand Canyon, where I did my second R2R2R run, also the spectacular Canyon de Chelly and Petrified Forest National Park of northeastern Arizona. Canyon de Chelly is one of the most beautiful places I've ever visited, kind of like Zion National Park but with only a tiny fraction of the tourists. With the exception of one trail, because it is on Navajo land, visitors must be accompanied by a guide in order to enter the canyon. Otherwise, they are relegated to the rim overlooks, which are nothing less than stunning. It was fun trying to pick out the various cliff dwellings with the aid of binoculars. We visited every single overlook! Gallup had some fine running & hiking trails (Gallop? who knew??), including Pyramid & Church Rocks, the High Desert Trails system, and an area a few miles outside of town known as McGaffey, with excellent singletrack and signed junctions. A special treat was spending the weekend in Silverton, Colorado, and getting in some great hikes/runs, both on and off the Hardrock course. We were treated to sightings of a fox at Island Lake and a bald eagle near the Continental Divide at Highland Mary Lakes!
November: Finally climbed Telescope and Wildrose Peaks, along with Corkscrew and Towne Pass Peaks, on a weeklong trip to Death Valley. My appreciation and fondness for Death Valley grow with each visit. It really is a spectacular place. I loved the trail to Telescope Peak (very runnable!), and stargazing/car camping in the Honda Element was the balls. :)
December: Back to Vermont for the holidays, where we were treated to snowstorms, ice, rain, subzero temps, an ice-encrusted car, layers upon layers of clothing, boots... criminelly! All the conditions that reminded me why a mediterranean climate--that would be southern California--is such a treat in wintertime. The trip was a good one, though: spent my b'day cross country skiing for the first time in about 3 years (I LOVE to ski!) and climbed/snowshoed/cramponed up some of my old New Hampshire 4000 footers.
January: Back to CA, on the way finishing off the Ouachita Trail in Arkansas. This was the trail I attempted to thru-hike/backpack last March but got weathered out in a freak snowstorm on Day #3 after completing only 50 of the 222 miles, basically the Oklahoma portion (yes, OK really does have mountains). Huge thanks to Chris, I was able to "run" the remaining 170 miles of the trail to Little Rock carrying only a light pack, doing a relatively easy 30-35 miles/day, none of it in the dark. With one planned 30-mile day to go, a nasty bout with food poisoning--I think from peanut butter crackers... grr!--slowed my progress to a 20, then a 10 miler. But hey, now I know I can fast walk 20 miles on one 20 oz. bottle of plain water, one gel, and one popsicle. (O_O) The OT is a lightly used, "wildernessy" long-distance trail. I saw only one backpacker and a handful of dayhikers in the 6 days I was out there. Curiously, there is also very little wildlife--few squirrels even. I did almost step on an armadillo, and we saw a bobcat one day. Arkansas has some great trails; I want to do the Ozark Highlands Trail (165 miles) one of these days as well.
February: Work trip to San Francisco, with runs in the Marin Headlands, including a Double Dipsea, after finally locating The stairs in Mill Valley. :) Also ran in the Presidio and Golden Gate Parks and across the Golden Gate Bridge. (Yes, I am a touron.) What a fun city! A few days later we were in Austin, Texas, on another work trip running around Lady Bird Lake with hundreds of Austinites. Alas, no Lance/McConaughey sightings. Probably could've been a bit more creative with dining, but got sort of infatuated with Whole Foods--THE Whole Foods of Whole Foods--they are headquartered in Austin. Yum-O! Which brings us to...
March: Uncharacteristically spent the past 5 weeks back in Ventura County, first and foremost helping to prepare for and execute Chris's Coyote Two Moon. For whatever reason, it seemed as though this year's events required a lot more energy... and there seemed to be more rooms in the house filled with C2M stuff--shirts, jackets, hats, "prizes," etc. But in the end, this year's events appeared to run more smoothly than last. The start/finish at Ojai's Thacher School worked out better, the pre-and post-race meals (mimosa anyone?) were very good, and C2M has the absolute BEST group of volunteers an RD could ever hope for. Shameless plug: C2M is a truly unique ultrarunning venue, with events spanning 6 days, including mini-golf, bowling, "talent" night, BBQ, beer drinking, and runs in Pt. Mugu State Park, including one under the full moon. Participation in these pre-run events, along with sucking up to the RD, and/or generally being a nice person, is rewarded with "bonus minutes" which are subtracted from the run time. If a runner acts like a bonehead, is rude, or bull$hits the RD or volunteers, they get "boner minutes" which are added to their run time. (As a result of this juggling of numbers, some of the more serious or competitive runners may have a harder time with this concept.) Also unique to C2M is the staggered start, whereby the slower runners get to start first--and get first dibs on the all the aid station goodies!--the idea being that runners get to see more people toward the end of the event and everyone finishes "together" within a 4-hour window, in time for Sunday brunch and previously mentioned mimosas. :) Finally, entrants can expect to receive numerous pre-event emails from the RD, virtual "novellas", as one disgruntled, "serious" runner labeled them. It's all part of this one-of-a-kind event! If you're a fun-loving, open-minded sort of ultrarunner in search of a kick-ass 100 miler with 28,000+ ft. of elevation gain (19,000 for the 100km) for 2010, check out the website here . BTW, one of the best C2M "reports" I've read--possibly my favorite race report ever--is here, 13th post. Look for a bunch of emoticons. ;-)
That brings this blog up to date, sort of. I stopped blogging in September mostly because I wanted to spend less time online and had always had issues with the quasi (is that the right word?) narcissism of blogging. However (!)... I am getting SO bad about emailing and keeping in touch with folks, AND have had many people ask about it and tell me they enjoyed reading my blog (hey, you guys need to get a life! Heehee), so here's at it once more...!!

HOUSTON (Nov. 14, 2007) – "Medical Ethics and the Holocaust," a 15-part lecture series and exhibit that reveals how the practices of the Third Reich influence today's modern medical practices, continues as Holocaust Museum Houston presents a number of lectures featuring an array of speakers and topics throughout December.
On Dec. 4, 2007, two authorities on medicine and the Third Reich will present "Academic Medicine During the Nazi Period and Implications for Creating Awareness of Professional Responsibility Today." Volker Roelcke, M.D., professor and director of the Institute for the History of Medicine at the University of Giessen in Germany, and William Seidelman, M.D., C.C.F.P., F.C.F.P, also an internationally recognized authority on the history of medicine during the Third Reich and a fellow of the College of Family Physicians in Canada, will discuss the importance of teaching today's medical students the value of treating each of their patients equally The two will detail the role played by the academic and research elite in German and Austrian medical faculties and research institutes and report on current developments in the elucidation of that tragic history and the efforts being made to account for that record within Germany and Austria.
The lecture series will continue on Dec. 11, 2007 as Michael A. Grodin, M.D., a professor of health law, bioethics and human rights at the Boston University School of Public Health, will examine how today's governments, like those of the Third Reich, can permit and encourage doctors to assist with torturous acts in his lecture, "Mad, Bad or Evil - How Physician Healers Turn to Torture, Murder and Genocide from the Nazi Doctors to Abu Ghraib." In his discussion, Grodin will discuss how the legacy of the Holocaust lives on today as demonstrated through acts of torture and human rights abuse by military doctors in former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Central America, Central and South America, China, the Middle East and most recently, in Darfur.
The same night Michael L. Gross, Ph.D., a professor of political science and the chair of the Department of International Relations at the School of Political Sciences at the University of Haifa, Israel, will present, "Is Medicine a Pacifist Vocation or Should Doctors Help Build Bombs?" Gross will examine the roles physicians play in creating more effective lethal and non-lethal weapons and how that fits in with their duty to serve as healers.
All the lectures will take place at Holocaust Museum Houston, 5401 Caroline St., and will begin at 6 p.m.
The lectures are a continuation of a 15-part series designed to help understand how the Holocaust's horrific medical practices shape modern medical ethics. Other upcoming lectures will feature such compelling topics as misusing personal genetic information and genetic discrimination to further separate races.

The exhibit runs through Feb. 3, 2008. Viewing hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and noon to 5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.
