During the brainstorming session, I pulled this story out of hibernation. I started it in 1999! It's a quarter of the way into the story, but there was a lot still to work out.
I put it aside when my husband and I moved from Toronto to Yarmouth, a small fishing town in Nova Scotia. We moved in with my gram because she needed someone living in the same house. My mom couldn't stay in the house for more than an hour at a time because of her environmental illness.
I had quite a bit of culture shock to get past, as I discovered that a Big City urban gal like me doesn't write well in the quiet of a small town. Once we moved to Halifax, my writing got back into gear. But my Culloden story stayed parked until this past Sunday.
Now I can't stop thinking about it. So here's an excerpt.
This story takes place in the immediate aftermath of the battle of Culloden, where the English wiped out the highlanders and embarked on a campaign to crush the Scottish culture. (As we can see from our 21st century vantage point, they weren't terribly successful. Amen to that!)
Excerpt -
Scottish highlands near Drumossie Moor, April 1746
Emma walked to the cave entrance. She couldn't bear the sounds of the servants' crying any longer.
Dawn beckoned with cool grey fingers. The sound of birdsong dashed any hopes of sleep.
The danger of patrols shimmered in the air like lightening storms. One group on horseback already charged up the hill past them. The entrance to their cave was only a narrow crevasse to squeeze through and not obvious to an Englishman. The mounted soldiers ran down every living creature they'd come across.
Thomas urged them to stay put, for a few days at least. He rotated a watch between himself, Davey and Murray. What if Emma were to wake, only to find a soldier with his knife poised to slit her throat? No wonder Maisie and Poppy huddled together in tears.
Emma's tired, burning gaze swept the forest but nothing moved. Perhaps she could join Murray for awhile. He might welcome the company. Squeezing through the opening and wondering how Thomas had managed it, Emma stayed close to the cave entrance and checked again for signs of danger.
Birdsong made all of yesterday's upset seem so unreal. Would she be out here shivering in the cold April frost if it had not happened? Emma curled her hands up into her sleeves, the thin wool of her day frock so terribly ineffective. If only Thomas had allowed a fire to be built.
Emma moved quickly past the clearing in front of the cave entrance. She saw Murray's body spring to life, facing her though staying to the trees.
"It's me. Emma," she whispered, the morning so still she felt as if she were shouting.
Murray's body relaxed. "You're not relieving me on the watch, surely?" Murray teased her as he always did. How she longed for everything to be normal again.
"I can't sleep," she said.
"Come stand with me, then."
She joined him next to the pine. Murray put his arm around her shoulders. He was her younger brother but taller than she was by a head.
"When do you think we can go back?" she asked, knowing she sounded like a child.
"I doubt there's much to return to."
"Thank God Thomas got word to us in time," she said.
"Yes. Thank God." There was something to Murray's tone. Emma turned to see the bitter look on his face.
"It was our victory." Murray shook his head as though still unwilling to believe the loss. "Everyone said we would take the day."
"The fighting couldn't have been far, then?"
"Drummossie Moor."
"Drummossie Moor! That's only - "
"Emma, what do you think I'm telling you? The fighting should have been across the river on higher ground, but the English... Thomas was in town to keep an eye on things and when it went wrong he was nearly killed trying to get back to us."
There was silence between them, a tense silence. Emma was suddenly very tired of fathers and brothers deciding what was best for her to know.
"Have you seen anyone?" she asked, knowing Murray would never speak first. "Since you've come out here?"
"Not a soul."
She sighed. "I don't want to go back in there just now."
"Stay with me, then," Murray said.
How she longed for everything to be the way it was. Even before this latest battle. When her father, the chieftain of the MacBeans was at home and the clan solid among the hills. She stole a glance back at Murray, who smiled through a yawn.
This did feel better. Though her head reeled with weariness, she liked the living scent of the trees. The musty air of the cave was like a crypt.
Her answering yawn set the wood awash in bleariness. The carpet of pine needles suddenly slid underfoot and she went down heavily, surprised to slide down a slight incline.
There was a groan as she landed squarely on a grimy heap of plaid. A plaid that covered the body of a man.
She squealed, scrambling to regain her feet.
An eye stared back in alarm, revealing a battered face. The man lunged forward like a snake, grabbing her wrists and rolling her onto her stomach.
She grunted as one strong hand forced her face into the ground and the other crushed her wrist against the root of the tree. A sharp knee jammed into her back, forcing the air from her lungs.
He cried out in pain and abruptly released her. Falling heavily beside Emma, he writhed awkwardly as Murray gave one final kick for good measure.
"Emma! Are you hurt?" Murray asked.
She pushed herself to a sitting position. "No, Murray," she said, rising. "Just took my breath from me."
She wouldn't admit to the way her heart continued to pound, nor the way her hands shook as she brushed pine needles out of her hair. She stole a glance over at the stranger lying next to her.
Murray bent to see to him, then knelt, listening at the man's chest. Her brother's gaze sought hers. "He's alive. Thank God." Murray sat back on his heels.
"What do you mean?" Emma asked, her reasoning slow from fatigue and fright.
"He wears the colors of the Scots Royal. That's your Douglas's regiment. From the looks of him, the Royals fared badly."
Emma knelt at the stranger's side. To look at him now, it was a wonder he'd had the strength to pounce on her like a great mountain cat. But she could still feel the force of him pinning her to the ground.
He lay curled on his side, his dark hair falling over his face, eyes closed. Mud and bruises hid much of the rest of him. His arms and legs wore nasty looking slashes. Blood soaked his plaid and jacket at the shoulder and under his left arm.
Murray's words sank slowly into her consciousness. Her Douglas. An officer of the Scots Royal. Her Douglas had fought alongside this man. Had led him onto the battlefield.
Where was Douglas now? Was he laying somewhere with no one to help him?
Tears rose to her eyes. Emma reached forward and pushed the hair from the stranger's brow with tender fingers. The man's right eye fluttered open. The left one was swollen horribly.
Emma stared back. Such a dark eye it was, brimming with spirit though his body was all but useless to him now. Emma had never seen anyone burn with such ferocity. She began trembling.
It wasn't the shock of it - not the soldiers, not her family's flight, not her sleepless hours in the cave, nor the fright from this wounded clansman's desperate retaliation - none of it had started this quivering.
She trembled because of the way he looked at her.

Excerpt from Culloden novel
During the brainstorming session, I pulled this story out of hibernation. I started it in 1999! It's a quarter of the way into the story, but there was a lot still to work out.

Thanks all for having a look at my Culloden novel. I want to work on it quite passionately all of a sudden. But my vampire one takes precedence. Must stick to plan.

Phil: Any way you look at it, a tragedy occurred the night Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman confronted each other. If only they both could have found a way to walk away, none of this would be happening.
Ethan: I'm not accepting the mutual responsibility theory. One of these two was an adult and the other a child. One was armed with a gun and the other with nothing. One is dead and the other is free. Our system has failed.
Phil: Where do you believe it failed? After the police investigation revealed Zimmerman was within his rights, the federal government stepped in and took him to trial. Then a jury heard all the evidence and found him not guilty. What am I missing?
Ethan: From beginning to end our system failed. A local chief sees a young black boy killed and does nothing. The federal government then has to step in to ensure that a man is held accountable. Then the jury says the law didn't allow them to convict, when at least half said conviction should have been the correct outcome.
Phil: Suggesting the police chief based his decision on Martin's skin color is unsubstantiated.
Ethan: I don't have any idea if he based his decision on Martin's skin color. I know that a number of his officers said an arrest should have been made. I know that the department had been accused of protecting officers' family members who were involved in violent skirmishes with people of color. And I know that the chief was ultimately fired for his handling of the case.
Phil: To me, if there flaw in the system, it's in the Stand Your Ground law that the chief based his decision upon. That law was created by the Florida Legislature and governor.
Ethan: I certainly agree with you there. Not only the Florida Legislature and governor, but two dozen states have similar laws that make it all too easy to kill. The law in this case allowed Zimmerman to do what should never be tolerated. Had Martin been your son, would you feel that the system worked?
Phil: If he were my son, like any loving parent, I would seek truth and justice. Isn't that why we have a trial process?
Ethan: It is, and sometimes that process fails. Unfortunately, we see it fail much more often when the crimes involve African-Americans, either in regard to their being found guilty, over-sentenced, or when they are the victim and their perpetrator is allowed to walk.
Phil: You make it seem like Martin was just strolling along and Zimmerman pulled his gun and committed murder. The facts prove there was a beating initiated by Martin.
Ethan: The facts prove nothing of the sort. In fact, it is quite clear that Zimmerman instigated the confrontation by pursuing this young man, even after being told to back off by a 911 operator.
Phil: We were not present, so how can either of us decide this was another incident of a person being denied justice because of the color of his skin?
Ethan: I haven't decided that. But I am pretty sure Zimmerman would not have been following you around that evening if you were walking home in the rain minding your own business.
Phil: What other system of justice would you propose to right the wrongs you believe are the facts in this case?
Ethan: I'd like a system that doesn't protect a 28-year-old wannabe cop from being held accountable for recklessly killing a 17-year-old child.
Phil: What does age have to do with it when someone is beating you? What if Martin killed Zimmerman in this situation? Would we even be hearing about this case?
Ethan: You seem to have accepted Zimmerman's side of the story, but regardless of what happened, 17-year-olds are not yet considered adults. They make stupid decisions. Adults are supposed to be more mature and responsible. Zimmerman clearly wasn't.
Phil: It appears we must agree to disagree on the facts, but retrying it here won't do much good. How about we turn to the future? What changes do we as a country need going forward?
Ethan: Certainly we continue to need to have a dialogue about race and the effects of racism on how we interact with others.
Phil: I would also suggest we revisit "stand your ground" laws that seem to create a pretty low bar for a claim of self-defense.
Ethan: One area where we may not agree is that we also need to be smarter about who we allow to carry a gun pretending they are a cop.
Phil: Being smarter is fine, as long as you don't infringe on the rights of those who have every right to carry what they choose in their own defense.
Ethan: The New York Times said it best last week: "In the end, what is most frightening is that there are so many people with guns who are like George Zimmerman. Fear and racism may never be fully eliminated by legislative or judicial order, but neither should our laws allow and even facilitate their most deadly expression. Trayvon Martin was an unarmed boy walking home from the convenience store. If only Florida could give him back his life as easily as it is giving back George Zimmerman's gun."

Dr. Arlene Blum, who is the executive director of the Green Science Policy Institute and a visiting scholar in the department of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, will present two addresses on March 10-11 while on campus to deliver the annual James and Jeanette Neckers Lectureship in Chemistry at Hope College.
A well-known mountain climber and author as well as a chemist focused on science policy, she will present the address "Climbing Your Own Everests: Peaks, Public Health, and Policy" on Thursday, March 10, at 7 p.m. in the DeWitt Center main theatre. She will deliver the Neckers Lecture, "Organohalogens in Consumer Products: Do the Fire Safety Benefits Justify the Health and Environmental Risks?," on Friday, March 11, at 4 p.m. in Winants Auditorium of Graves Hall.
The public is invited to both events. Admission is free.
Blum received her bachelor's degree from Reed College and her doctorate in biophysical chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, where she worked under the mentorship of Dr. Ignacio Tinoco. As a post-doc with Dr. Bruce Ames at Berkeley, she demonstrated the cancer-causing properties of two flame retardants widely used in children's sleepwear, which led directly to their regulation.
She then took a break from science, spending the next three decades climbing mountains and writing books. She led the first American - and all-women's - ascent of Annapurna I (8,091m), led the first women's team up Mount McKinley (6,194m) and was the first American woman to attempt Mount Everest (8,848m).
Blum returned to science and policy work in 2006 after learning that the same chemicals she studied in the 1970s are still used in furniture and baby products.
For her work, she has received a number of awards, including being named one of the 100 "Women Taking the Lead to Save Our Planet"; the Purpose Prize, given to those older than 60 who are solving society's greatest problems; and a Gold Medal from the Society of Women Geographers, an honor previously given to only eight other women, including Amelia Earhart, Margaret Mead and Mary Leakey.
The James and Jeanette Neckers Lectureship and Student Assistance Fund through which Blum is speaking was established in 1984 by Dr. James W. and Jeanette Hoffman Neckers, members of the college's Class of 1923, to support annual lectureships in chemistry. Through additional gifts from Dr. Neckers, the fund was expanded to include student summer research stipends and student scholarships.
James Neckers was chairman of the Department of Chemistry at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale for 37 of his 40 years at the university. Under his leadership, the department grew from a three-year offering in chemistry to granting the doctorate; the faculty grew from three to 23. Jeanette Neckers died on June 10, 1992, and James Neckers died on May 8, 2004.
Blum's visit to campus is co-sponsored by the Campus Sustainability Task Force, the Hope College Howard Hughes Medical Institute grant, the department of geological and environmental sciences, and the women's studies program.
The DeWitt Center is located at 141 E. 12th St., facing Columbia Avenue at 12th Street. Graves Hall is located at 263 College Ave., facing College Avenue between 10th and 12th streets.

The Redskins didn't have a first-round pick this year, so none of their contract negotiations should be worrisome at all.
Two of them are already taken care of, with fifth-rounder Brandon Jenkins and safety Bacarri Rambo signing their rookie deals today, the team announced
The team still has five picks to sign, but plenty of time to get that done.
Jenkins is an intriguing prospect, after a Lisfranc injury kept him off the field for most of his senior season. Prior to that, he was a promising pass-rusher (22.5 sacks in 40 games at Florida State), and has the time to develop since the Redskins are solid with starters at outside linebacker.

Dear list,
Does someone aware of works that use filterbanks with more than a couple of dosens filters as a front-end for the music analysis ?
Human ear is able to distinguish pitch differences at least twice less than a semitone which implies that for the analysis of musical piece that spans 4 octaves the number of filters should be of the order of couple hundreds. Nevertheless front-ends commonly used for music analysis usually use not more than couple of dosens of filters (Fourier bins), sometimes even non-logarithmically spaced.
I will be glad to hear any opinions on the subject. Ilya

Today, we're examining the "effective age" numbers for this season's top NBA teams. Effective age is a metric used by ESPN Insider Kevin Pelton to measure a team's average age, but weighted by minutes played, rather than a straight average (which artificially inflates the average number for a team like New York, for example, if senior citizens like Marcus Camby (38) and Kurt Thomas (40) are given the same weight as heavy-minutes players such as Carmelo Anthony, J.R. Smith and Ray Felton (all under 30)).

My friend went into the ER with back pain and they found some small kidney stones. They said he was severely dehydrated. He lives with no AC and it has been very hot lately.
Online he saw the kidney stone / ascorbic acid stuff and was bitching about it. He likely never took more than a gram a day.
I told him that the dehydration is far the most important factor.
While looking myself, I found a reference to a 2005 study:
* High amounts of supplementary vitamin C may increase men's risk of developing kidney stones. A 2005 study indicated that men who took 1000 mg or more of vitamin C each day were 40% more likely to develop kidney stones than men who took no more than 90 mg a day.
Why would this be true? Anyone seen this study? What other co-factors would a supplementing person be doing. I would be surprised if an ascorbic acid person would not be drinking a lot of water.

Many Division-I athletes have similar stories and have embarked on similar journeys to get to the school of their dreams.
UC Santa Barbara's student athletes have logged many hours
in the classroom as well as the gym. But not many
student-athletes can say that they traveled across the world to a
foreign place to follow their dream. Fifi Baiden did just that.
Originally from Ghana, Fifi grew up playing soccer. With the encouragement of his parents, Fifi played soccer daily and fell in love with the sport. Not having soccer fields or club teams available, Fifi would play in backyards with his friends. He knew he had a great talent and decided to pursue his soccer dream by joining a soccer academy in Ghana called "A Right to Dream Academy."
"A friend from school told me about a soccer academy that recruits talented soccer players," said Fifi. "Hearing this convinced me into joining the academy. I was ten when I tried out and joined the academy shortly after."
With the motivation from his family and friends in Ghana, Fifi defined his life goal by achieving an excellent education and striving to become a better soccer player. At the "A Right to Dream Academy," he developed a desire to come to America and play soccer.
"I heard about the Dunn School in California that brings
in people from the academy in Ghana to attend school there,"
said Fifi.
The Dunn School, in Los Olivos California is a private, college preparatory, a sixth- twelfth grade boarding school. Former Gaucho Waid Ibrahim also attended the Dunn School.
"My Dunn School experience was the richest experience of my life," said a reflective Fifi. "They provided me with a diverse environment, different people, and made me feel comfortable."
Most would look at Fifi's life as a challenge, but Fifi took his life-changing experience as an opportunity to pursue his dreams. Machael David and Waid Ibraihm embarked on similar journeys and helped make Fifi's journey more comfortable.
"Having fellow Ghanaians already here on the UCSB soccer
team definitely helped my transition," said
Fifi. "It was an instant support system, and helped me
gain confidence in my new environment."
As a leader on the UCSB Men's soccer team, Fifi demands hard work every day from himself as well as his teammates.
"Thinking back to Ghana, I grew up with the mentality that you always have to work hard and do the right thing to succeed."
Fifi is on his way to accomplishing his dream of becoming a professional soccer player. As a starter for the Gauchos, Fifi was one of just six players to appear in all 23 games last year.
While an outstanding soccer player, Fifi still has a goal to obtain a degree in either Economics or Sociology. He remains passionate about his home country, yearning to share the opportunity he has received at UCSB with those back home.

Santa Barbara, Calif. - The UC Santa Barbara Gauchos used a ten-run fourth to defeat the visiting Sacramento State Hornets 17-12 for their second win in the series. With the win, the Gauchos improve to 26-24 overall and 16-11 in the Big West. With the loss, the Hornets fall to 21-32 and 13-14 respecitively.
The Hornets jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the second when Ryan Brown hit his fourth home run on the season over the left field fence. They added two more runs in the fourth on an RBI single by Rick Gonzalez and a sacrafice fly by Mike Butler.
The Gauchos put a rally together in the fourth to end all rallys. In the inning, the Gauchos sent 13 batters to the plate as the inning was capped off by back-to-back home runs by Tyler Von Schell and Jeff Bannon. Bannon, Von Schell and Dave Molidor each had two hits in that inning.
The Hornets proved that they would not give up however. They scored three more runs in the fifth to cut the Gaucho lead to 10-6. Gonzalez was responsible for all three runs as he sent a three-run shot over the center field fence.
The Gauchos hopped right back on the scoring machine in their half of the fifth. They scored three runs, two of which came off a base hit by Molidor.
After scoring two more runs in the sixth and another two in the eighth, the Hornets had cut the margin to 13-10. That would be as close as the Hornets would come. The Gauchos threw four more runs on the board in the eighth. RBI hits by Bannon, Donovan Warrecker (sacrafice fly), R.J. Smith, and another sacrafice fly by Andy Campanella accounted for all the runs in the eighth.
The Hornets could only manage to score two runs in the ninth, which proved not enough as the Gauchos held on for the 17-12 win.
Joe Isaacson picked up his fourth win on the season as he pitched 3.1 innings in relief. Jimmy West started for the Hornets and went 3.0 innings to take the loss. He falls to 5-5 on the season.
The Gauchos will wrap-up their season next weekend as they travel to Cal Poly for a Friday, Saturday, Sunday weekend series. Friday's game is slated for a 5:00 p.m start, while Saturday and Sunday's games are expected to get under way at 1:00 p.m.

Sharon Johnson is not a physician or scientific researcher. She has never been trained as a nurse. Her most recent prior occupation was as office manager in a dental practice.
Yet colleagues say she's a bundle of compassion, a quick study and a genius at communicating with people of all backgrounds — all qualities that have made her a key player in iHOMES, a Johns Hopkins-based network of health care providers who are dedicated to mobilizing every possible resource in the fight against sickle cell disease.
Johnson, 51, is a community health worker, which is the most commonly used name for professionals who neither diagnose illness nor write prescriptions but act as liaisons between a health care system that strikes many as remote, even intimidating, and the underserved populations it hopes to treat.
People such as Johnson, experts say, are indispensable in the battle against sickle cell, a painful and in many ways complicated disorder that affects African-Americans more often than any other group.
"There are so many barriers to effective treatment of sickle cell, and not all are medical," said Dr. Sophie Lanzkron, founding director of the Sickle Cell Infusion Center for Adults at Johns Hopkins Hospital. "Someone like Sharon, who connects so well with people and has the pulse of the community, can be a critical part of healing."
Medical researchers have long been baffled by sickle cell, a noncontagious, genetically acquired malady that affects the way the DNA creates hemoglobin, the substance that allows red blood cells to carry crucial oxygen from one part of the body to another.
A healthy individual's red blood cells are round and malleable, allowing for passage through the body's tiniest and most byzantine vessels. In sickle cell sufferers, certain otherwise ordinary life conditions — fatigue, dehydration, stress — can turn the cells hard and sickle-shaped, leaving them unable to navigate the twists and turns.
"My tissues literally get starved of oxygen" during these crises, said Carlton Haywood, an assistant professor of hematology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine who has had sickle cell since childhood. "I as an individual experience that as severe pain. It can go on for hours, days or weeks at a time."
Sickle cell is rare — about 4,000 people in Maryland have it, about 100,000 across the U.S. — but no less devastating for that. Most who have it miss major stretches of school or work. Sufferers are highly susceptible to diabetes and stroke and have trouble fighting bacterial infections.
Certain vaccines can minimize the threat of illness. One drug, hydroxyurea, appears to reduce the frequency of pain crises. But there is no cure. Sufferers, on average, don't survive their 40s.
iHOMES — the Improving Health Outcomes and Medical Education for Sickle Cell Disease network — can help with the medical side. A Johns Hopkins Medicine initiative, it draws a variety of Maryland caregivers and institutes together, helping to train primary care providers, connect sufferers with physicians and guide teens into adult care, among other services.
But a storm of sociological challenges surrounds the disease. That's where Baltimore native Johnson, one of about 40 community health workers at Hopkins, and the only one at iHOMES, comes in.
Studies show that most sickle cell sufferers live in low-income communities, a fact that leaves many without the financial resources, transportation and child care that make regular follow-up visits possible. A good number have also suffered strokes, which causes cognitive problems.
"Many have trouble navigating the system we have," Lanzkron said.
In addition, about 90 percent of sickle cell patients are African-American, while health care providers in the main are not. Studies show the disparity predicts gaps in communication, understanding and trust, all of which compromise care, said Dr. Chris Gibbons, director of the Urban Health Institute at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Add in a uniquely tragic twist: during many crises, only potent opioid drugs can relieve the pain, yet sufferers display no observable symptoms.
"Imagine, if you will, that you're in Baltimore City, you're a 20-year-old African-American male and you're telling the ER doctor you're in excruciating pain and you need narcotics, but there's no test that can prove you're in crisis. How do you think that goes? Every patient has horror stories about terrible treatment in the ER," Lanzkron said.
The 4-year-old Infusion Center, the only facility of its kind in Maryland, minimizes that problem. It has made for shorter waiting times for drugs and radically cut hospitalization rates for patients who come to area emergency rooms.
But it's Johnson and her fellow community health workers who add the human touch.
Trained in the basics of sickle cell, the West Baltimore native has a busy but varied schedule. On a typical day, she'll visit a couple of patients in their homes, explaining doctors' directions, checking blood pressure, offering appointment reminders, even sharing stories of her childhood to help establish trust.
Then she'll visit some in the hospital. "I don't stay long, but I'll hold their hand and listen," she says. "I let them know I'll come back soon. That may not decrease the pain, but it might make them feel a bit better inside."
In recent weeks, Johnson, a former Americorps volunteer, has babysat children, restored medication schedules, offered rides, referred patients to drug-rehab programs and shared her insights on patients with grateful hematologists. Her costs are covered by grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration.
"She's the modern equivalent of the old country doctor, but without the medical degree," said Gibbons, who strongly supports increased use of community health workers in an age when doctor visits can be pricier than ever.
Johnson is helping physicians and other health providers bring down barriers a little at a time.
"She works hard, and always has a big smile on her face," Lanzkron said. "That's healthy for everyone."
The Johns Hopkins Sickle Cell Infusion Center is in Room 136 of the Carnegie Building at 601 N. Wolfe St. Interested patients can learn more at hopkinsmedicine.org/Medicine/sickle, call the Hopkins sickle cell hotline at (443) 717-2198 or email iHOMES at email@example.com

Miley Cyrus' Childhood Pastor Says People Need to Pray for Her
Miley Cyrus doesn't need criticism, according to her childhood pastor. Instead, she needs your prayers, and not because he thinks the controversial starlet needs saving. Whoa! Wait, what?
Pastor Dave Roberts, who remains close with Miley's mom and dad, revealed that his church, Of the Montrose, located in an L.A. suburb, has been the recipient of hate mail over the years, due to its onetime involvement with Miley. People have taken to blaming him for how she has turned out. Really? Really.
"I think most people can't imagine what it's like, they can't have any idea what that all looks like," the pastor reasoned. "They write to the church because they assume that anything she does, and when she was younger, anything on the show ['Hannah Montana'] that they didn't like, they would write to me and say, 'You should have taught her better.' It's silly."
Instead of standing in judgment of Cyrus, Roberts has asked people to instead pray for her. "I usually write them back to say, 'You're talking about a young girl, maybe your prayer and support would be more valuable than your critique… you can't imagine the pressure (she's under),'" he said.
Roberts said if Miley ever needs him, his door is wide open. He is closer to her parents and her little sister Noah, since Noah is friends with Roberts' little girl, but he would be happy to extend his support to her.
He said, "I would I always want her to feel that we're standing by her and helping and supporting and praying for her...I think she lives under incredible scrutiny."
Miley is lucky to have him in her corner.

Nasal flaring is when the nostrils widen when you breathe. It is often a sign that you are having trouble breathing.
Flaring of the alae nasi (nostrils); Nostrils - flaring
Nasal flaring is seen mostly in infants and younger children.
Any condition that causes difficulty breathing can cause nasal flaring. While many causes of nasal flaring are not serious, some can be life threatening.
In young infants, nasal flaring can be a very important symptom of respiratory distress.
Seek immediate emergency help if you or your child has signs of a breathing difficulty.
Call your health care provider if:
The doctor or nurse will perform a physical exam and ask questions about the symptoms and medical history, such as:
The doctor or nurse will listen carefully to the breath sounds. This is called auscultation.
Tests that may be done include:
Oxygen may be given if there is a breathing problem.

HOLLAND - An address hosted by the French Cultural Studies Colloquium will examine the way that Joan of Arc has been portrayed on film.
The presentation, which will be in French, will take place on Monday, Sept. 10, at 4 p.m. in the Maas Center conference room. The talk, titled "Représentations de Jeanne d'Arc au cinema," will be by Dr. Anne Caillaud, professor of French at Grand Valley State University.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Dr. Caillaud will speak in French on the representations of Joan of Arc in the 40 some films on her life from the first in 1898 to those in the late 90s. She will consider which qualities and characteristics they stress and how they end up portraying her as a model for the modern woman of the new millennium.
The MaasCenter is located on Columbia Avenue at 11th Street.

|Bottle of Hit Medicine
Over the last month and a half I have built and tested 5 different machiwaras with the aim of creating a moveable indoor machiwara which is fully capable of surviving the rigors of thousands of intense impacts to various surfaces on the board. This has been more challenging than I would have believed it would be. I was shocked when a very solid 1.5 inch thick machiwara literally snapped in two after only a week of testing, and I was then disappointed when a my next attempt (designed to be much more flexible) failed to supply sufficient resistance to my strikes. After three failed attempts I now have 2 movable indoor machiwaras which meet my design needs (I will post photos and design instructions as well as notes on what went wrong in the failed designs in a future post).
In the process of building and testing these machiwaras I have had to repeatedly slam my fists into bare oak with maximum power on a daily basis. I personally believe that machiwara training works best at only about 70% of full power (because it is nearly impossible to do a good structural "body audit" when hitting at full power), but to ensure these machiwaras were actually strong enough to withstand months (and hopefully years) of daily abuse I had to REALLY unload on them.
At first my hands were merely getting a little sore. However, after a few weeks of this hardcore design testing my hands started to become very painful and more importantly they also became bruised in the knuckle and finger areas and my *entire* hands eventually became quite puffy and swollen.
So, I found some of the hit medicine that I had used before and started applying it to my hands before and after testing my machiwaras. Much to my surprise and delight, I found that this would reduce the swelling in my hands within half an hour, and even more surprisingly I found that most mild bruising would litterally disappear overnight if I applied it to my hands before going to bed.
This really amazed me, and I am quite glad I decided to start using hit medicine again. I now realize that I can train much more vigorously than I had previously believed I could because I no longer need to take several days off for recovery if I over-train to the point of bruising and swelling.
I have now invested in enough herbs to make several gallons of this hit medicine. I'll post again at some point in the future to provide a recipe and detailed instructions about all of the stages in producing this medicine.
Once again the wisdom of the old masters has been proven to me, and I urge all my readers to carefully consider the older Okinawan methods and to be very cautious about dismissing old training concepts as outdated "old wives tales".
As my dad likes to say: "old wives tend to know what they are talking about" ;-)

5 Easy Summer Decor Ideas for Your Home
Summer is about relaxing and enjoying the season. From cooling interior color palettes to opting for casual interiors over the stuffy formal ones, summer decor ideas are easy. Do you have a summer beach house, or would you like your apartment to FEEL like a summer beach house? Either way, the warm outdoors and cool evening breezes make your home the optimal place to entertain and relax. Try these easy summer decor ideas to take advantage of all that the season has to offer.
FURNITURE: Dark and muted tones are perfect for fall and winter, but spring and summer scream for light and airy colors. Use removable slipcovers, or decorative throws to bring bursts of color and brightness. Prefer whites and neutrals? White and khaki slipcovers are casual but can be dressed up with formal throw pillows in an instant.
DRAPERY: When you want to bring in the cool night air, and keep out the hot summer sun use curtains instead of drapery. Drapery material is heavy and dark, while curtains paired with sheers can give you versatile flexibility in the summer months. If you prefer to savor the views, and not cover up the windows use valances. Valances in summer textures and colors will leave your windows looking finished, with an obstructed view.
BRING IN THE OUTDOORS: When you think of summer it's all about the feelings of the outdoors. Flowers, plants and fresh fruit centerpieces make your home smell aromatic and look beautiful. For a more rustic feel, try bringing in eco-friendly materials like bamboo, hemp, and jute area rugs. These materials bring an exotic and natural feeling of the outdoors in. Remember, entertaining outdoors will also give a welcome break to being inside. Summer is about being flexible and spontaneous!
VIEWS: What better way to welcome summer into your home, than looking at a breathtaking view? Maximize your furniture placement by facing it towards your ocean view, pool, or lush green yard. Your enjoyment of your home is based on your emotions. If opening windows to hear nature makes you feel good, do it! Don't love the view from your windows? Consider buying a painting or wall decor that you love the look and feel of.
KID FRIENDLY: Let's face it, kids are out of school and summer time means kids around the house! Make sure fabrics and slipcovers are machine washable, and are casual and fun! Make summer time arts and crafts projects with seashells, pine cones, and nature inspired finds, which the kids can pick out. Their projects can turn into summer décor that you display proudly around your home!
Summer decor is all about finding the right balance between enjoyment, relaxing, and livable interiors. Try these tips for your home and see if you don't instantly feel like taking the day off to enjoy your summer home.

Two New Bern aldermen have formally announced they would run for mayor in the October election.
Two New Bern aldermen have formally announced they would run for mayor in the October election.
Sabrina Bengel and Denny Bucher each said they decided on Thursday to run for the mayoral position currently held by Lee Bettis.
Bengel, representing Ward 1, said she was encouraged by many people to run.
�With the recent news that Mayor Lee Bettis will be retiring this fall, I�ve been greatly encouraged by my peers in the New Bern community to consider running for mayor,� Bengel said in a statement. �In those conversations, I have become convinced of how much is at stake in our community. Our city deserves a strong dedicated leader who will stand up for our residents and our businesses. Due to my concerns for our community, I plan to run for mayor and will establish a formal campaign very soon.�
Bucher, who was elected alderman of Ward 3 in October 2009, said he and Bengel are friends but have different ideas of how to lead the city.
�I decided to run for mayor because I feel I�m best suited to lead the Board of Aldermen to accomplish the goals of the city, the goals that need to be done for the next four years,� Bucher said.
Both aldermen plan to set up election committees soon to begin their campaigns.
Aldermen Dana Outlaw, representing Ward 6, said he plans to wait until the July 8 filing date to make any announcements about his plans for the election.
In an email to the Sun Journal, Outlaw said he thought it was a �breach of etiquette� for incumbents not to wait for the filing date before announcing their intentions and getting a head start on other possible candidates.
Outlaw said his goal is to lower the city�s electric rate and that might call for another form of communication other than running for mayor.
Bengel, who was also elected to the Board of Aldermen in October 2009, is a businesswoman and serves on many boards. She is president of New Bern Tours and Convention Services; managing partner of �The Birthplace of Pepsi� and R.E. Bengel Sheet Metal Co.; she has been in the travel industry since 1980, previously owning and operating NS Travel, Inc. for 10 years; and she was the marketing manager for Quixote Travels, Inc. since 2004.
Bengel has served on numerous boards and held the position of chairman and president on many organizations including the New Bern Fireman�s Museum and East Carolina University Board of Visitors, board of directors of Craven Community College Foundation, Historic Downtown Residents Association and New Bern Breakfast Rotary Club.
She was named Entrepreneur of the Year by the Chamber of Commerce in 1994 and is the recipient of the Paul Harris Fellow by the New Bern Breakfast Rotary Club in 2004.
Bengel, who has lived in New Bern for 33 years, was born in Harrison, N.Y. She attended Quinnipiac College in Hamden, Conn., and ECU. She is married to Steve Bengel, a native of New Bern whose late mother Ella Bengel served as mayor, and they have two children.
Bucher worked for Firestone Tire and Rubber Co. and Bridgeston/Firestone for 37 years in a number of positions from management to regional vice president to president/CEO of Bridgestone�s Aircraft Tire Division before retiring in 2001. After retiring, Bucher and his wife Diann moved from Miami, Fla., to New Bern.
Bucher is a past member of the Board of Directors for the Fireman�s Museum; Eastern Pregnancy Information Center; and is an active member of the New Bern Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and Allies for Cherry Point for Tomorrow Board of Directors. He is an active member of Tabernacle Baptist Church and teaches adult Bible study.
In 2005, Bucher and his son and daughter founded Family Tire & Auto Service in New Bern. In 2009, they opened a second location in Morehead City and in 2012 expanded to Jacksonville.
Edwin Vargas, a civilian employee at Cherry Point air station, announced in March he had formed a committee to run for New Bern mayor.

ATB: 9 Down, 56 To Go…Posted by rtmsf on March 10th, 2009
Four More Automatic Bids Tonight. We're combining this feature tonight because every game of interest involved a conference tournament final. The CAA, MAAC, SoCon and WCC all crowned champions tonight, and only one of the four would be considered a surprise. The other three will all be very tough outs for whichever team(s) have to face up against them in the first round of the NCAAs next week.
#6 – VCU (24-9, 14-4) – Anthony Grant's VCU Rams rode a home crowd to a 71-50 obliteration of George Mason for its second CAA championship in the last three seasons. You already know Eric Maynor from his game-winner over Duke in 2007's first round; also keep in mind his 6'9 frontcourt mate Larry Sanders (not the host of a dated HBO show), who dominated GMU with 18/20/7 blks tonight – this talented duo will make any higher seed nervous on Selection Sunday.
Projected Seed: #10
Something to Remember: VCU wasn't a good road team this year, going 7-6 compared to 11-3 two years ago when the Rams last made the Dance, but they were 2-1 against the RPI top fifty (an 11-pt loss against Oklahoma).
#7 – Chattanooga (18-16, 11-9) – This is exactly why conferences are moving away from penalizing high seeds from playing on opponents' home floors in conference tournaments – instead of having a Davidson in the NCAAs with a chance to win a game or two, the SoCon will send Chattanooga to become cannon fodder for a #1 seed. Chattanooga came into the SoCon Tourney three days ago as a team with a losing record – tonight they left it with more than a winning record; they also got a ticket to the Big Dance by virtue of their 80-69 win over College of Charleston (who may have still been feeling the effects of knocking out Davidson yesterday). The Mocs used a 20-0 run bridging the half to build a commanding lead that left CofC shellshocked.
Projected Seed: #16
Something to Remember: Chattanooga started the season 2-8, and has one of the worst defensive efficiency ratings in the nation (#296). Take the over.
#8 – Gonzaga (26-5, 14-0) – The Zags made quick work of a St. Mary's team that still looks a little lost while Patty Mills tries to return to form from his wrist injury, defeating the Gaels 83-58. Six players reached double figures for the Zags, led by Josh Heytvelt's 17/6. Gonzaga won its nineteenth in twenty tries, with the only defeat coming at the hands of a red-hot Memphis team in February. It's definitely difficult to ascertain whether the 'potential Zags' have crossed over into actualization, but if things are clicking and they continue to play strong defense (#5 nationally), the Zags are a darkhorse for the Final Four.
Projected Seed: #4
Something to Remember: The Zags are the #1 team in America in 2-pt defense (38.9%), but when the Zags struggle (and lose), they also have a tendency for poor shooting – Memphis, Arizona, Utah and Portland St. all held them under 43% shooting from the field.
#9 – Siena (26-7, 16-2) – Siena was the best team in the MAAC, and after what the Saints did to Vandy in last year's first round of the NCAAs, nobody is going to want to see Fran McCaffery's team in their pod. Tonight they held off a good Niagara team that had given them one of their two conference losses behind Kenny Hasbrouck, who shook off a 1-10 first half to score 17 second-half points on his way to 19/6/3 stls. This is a dangerous team – they return the bulk of last year's squad, and they were competitive early in the season in losses at Kansas, Tennessee and Pittsburgh.
Projected Seed: #9
Something to Remember: Siena is an offensively balanced team, with six players averaging between 8-15 ppg, and all six of those players having at least one game of 20+ this year. Who do you stop?
QnD Conf Tourney Update.
The Big East, MAC, MEAC and WAC begin their tourneys tomorrow, but there are three more auto-bids in store.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14 (UPI) -- "Saturday Night Live" producer Lorne Michaels says Jay Pharoah will play U.S. President Barack Obama on the new season of the sketch comedy show.
Best known for his impersonations of actors Denzel Washington and Eddie Murphy, Pharoah takes over the role of Obama from Fred Armisen, who will remain a cast member on "SNL," The Hill said.
"I just thought it might be time to shake it up," Michaels told The New York Times, adding Armisen is "the backbone of the show now."
"SNL" veterans Kristen Wiig and Andy Samberg left the show last spring.

Wabash College is the only private Indiana College to be named to the Fiske Guide to Colleges "Best Buy" list. Wabash joins 19 other private schools across the nation on the list.
For the last 30 years, Fiske Guide to Colleges has chosen a select group of schools, noted for quality academic offerings and affordable cost, for its annual Best Buy list.
The tradition continues with the Fiske Guide to Colleges Best Buys of 2014, comprised of 21 public and 20 private colleges and universities in the U.S., Canada, and the UK. All of the Best Buy schools fall into the inexpensive or moderate price category, and most have four- or five-star academics ratings.
For 30 years, millions of students, parents, and guidance counselors have relied on the Fiske Guide to Colleges to present the "best and most interesting" schools during their college search.
Compiled by former New York Times education editor Edward B. Fiske, the top independent voice in college admissions, Fiske Guide to Colleges 2014 is a selective, subjective, and systematic look at 300+ colleges and universities in the U.S., Canada, and Great Britain.
Readers will discover more about Wabash College based on a broad range of subjects, including student body, academics, social life, financial aid, campus setting, housing, food, and extracurricular activities.
Edward Fiske served for 17 years as education editor of the New York Times, where he realized that college-bound students and their families needed better information on which to base their educational choices. He is also the author of the Fiske Guide to Getting into the Right College.
The only other Indiana institution to make either list was Purdue University as a public institution. The College of Wooster was the only other NCAC or GLCA school on the list.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - Working as part of Dr. Joe Schwartz' marketing class on the Georgia College & State University campus, members of the No. 6 Bobcat tennis team helped raise awareness for Habitat for Humanity's ReStore in Milledgeville.
Student-athletes Francis Yoshimoto, Erick Siqueira, Joao Casagrande and Max Beliankou joined with graduate assistant athletic trainer Keith Bate to pass out 10 percent off coupons around campus to drum up business for the local charity.
"The people we met with from Habitat said their main goal was to get awareness for the ReStore," said Yoshimoto. "We thought that the Georgia College campus was a great place to start."
The ReStore helps generate funds for the Baldwin County Habitat for Humanity organization, taking donations of gently used toys, appliances, glassware, books and much more, reselling them with all profits to benefit Habitat in the local community.
The facility is located at 730 North Wayne Street in Milledgeville.

The West Virginia Vehicle Registration System (VRS) is a new online filing system being implemented by the Division of Motor Vehicles. VRS allows you to enter vehicle purchase information and generate your temporary tag or transfer registration and necessary DMV forms. Upon completion, the information will be communicated electronically to the DMV. Recent system enhancements give you more flexibility in completing your filing. You have the option to send your title paperwork with a check attached for taxes and fees to the DMV within 60 days, just as you do today OR you will have the option to remit the information and payment electronically though the system – it's your choice. Some of the benefits you will receive from the new system are:
Completing temporary tags and DMV forms by hand will be a thing of the past. All forms necessary to file a title application, registration, transfer and dealer title will be generated from the information you enter into the new online system.
Express Filings
Full Electronic Filings
Search vehicle title, lien, and odometer information by West Virginia title number or VIN for free.
Temp tag supplies will be automatically accounted for within the system and can be easily ordered online.
Through a secure online form, your designated employees will follow a series of intuitive, step-by-step screens to enter owner, vehicle sale, trade-in, lien, and insurance information for each vehicle sale. No additional software is needed… it is 100% web-based all you need to get started is a computer with internet access and any popular browser software such as Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari.. Once complete, the information is sent electronically to the DMV.
Print the temporary tag or transfer slip, temporary registration and all DMV-related paperwork that the system creates for you using any standard printer. All temp tags include inventory control numbers and barcodes for greater security.
The specific pieces of temporary tag paper are assigned to the dealership or license service location that ordered them. Paper is not transferrable between dealerships or locations. Transfer slips do not require a control number and will be printed on plain paper.
Place the transfer plate or printed temporary tag on the vehicle just as you do today. The new temporary tags printed at your dealership or license service will be placed into a plastic envelope for protection from the elements.
You can then mail all forms generated by the system along with the original title and any other relevant forms to the DMV for title processing and hard plate issuance.
Dealerships and license services without an internet-enabled computer can participate in the fax version of the program. Fax dealers will complete a customized form specific to the type of title and registration you are processing and fax it to a dedicated call center where the information will be entered into the system. The produced temp tag or transfer slip and necessary forms will then be faxed back to the dealership or license service and printed through your fax machine.

Halloween party at the Kenmare Fire Hall.
By Caroline Downs
Tiny gremlins, sleek Ninjas, sparkling princesses and young superheroes could all be found at the Kenmare Fire Hall last Wednesday afternoon.
After all, what better to begin Halloween celebrations than with a party in a room filled with Jack-o-lanterns, skeletons and cobwebs, all swaying to the beat of spooky monster music?
None of the young visitors appeared too frightened, however, as they lined up to play games like "Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin" and participate in a "Pop Walk" that left everyone with beverages to enjoy.
Add a few frosted ghost cookies and spider-topped cupcakes, and the Kenmare Firefighters Auxiliary's first annual Halloween Party could be called a success, especially with 120 kids joining in the fun.
The Auxiliary members didn't know how many children to include in their planning, but they provided enough prizes so each child left with a handful of treasures. "For our first year, we thought we'd see how the community would accept it," said organizer MaryAnn Melin. "Next year, we'll build on this."
The party started at 2 pm, which allowed mothers to bring their young children and daycare providers to arrive with the troops, all in costume. One goal of the party was to allow the children and firefighters, who were wearing their gear, to mingle.
"We want to familiarize the kids with the guys in these outfits," said Leet. "That way they won't be afraid of us."
The firefighters also attached strips of reflective tape on the back or arm of each child's costume, with a discussion about safety. "Some of them asked, 'What's that for?'" Leet said. "We said it was to reflect off the headlights of cars so the drivers can see them at night. One girl told me, 'This is for safety, isn't it?'"
The firefighters saw the party as one way to extend the lessons of Fire Prevention Week, held earlier in October with tours of the Fire Hall for preschool kids and children in grades kindergarten through three.
A second benefit soon became apparent. "The kids were familiar with the Fire Hall because of Fire Prevention Week, but a lot of the parents were not," said Auxiliary member Janet Leet. "So they had a chance to look around."
"We heard a lot of positive comments about the facility," added Chuck Leet. "This was a chance to get the parents into the Hall. A lot of them have never been in there."
The kids appreciated the prizes and food, the parents appreciated the safe place for their children to celebrate Halloween, and the firefighters appreciated the visits.
Melin and co-organizer Nicole Michalenko were pleased with the response. "We appreciate the support the community gives us," said Michalenko, "and we wanted to give something back."
Another group in town received a Halloween surprise from the Auxiliary's party when the treats still remaining after the last child left were delivered to the residents at Maple View. "There was plenty for everyone!" said Janet Leet.
Other Auxiliary members who participated in the Halloween party included Candace Sieg, Dawn Keith, Kim Mogren, Audrey Wirtz, Sharon Thelen, Stacey Hedberg, Shelley Pullen, Billie Steen and Amber Bruner.

Story highlights
- "All-American Muslim" follows five Muslim families in Michigan
- Lowe's says the show has become a "lightning rod"
- The company's decision is decried by CAIR and a cast member
Lowe's has pulled its advertising from the reality TV show "All-American Muslim," which the retail store called a "lightning rod."
"All-American Muslim" is an eight-part series that follows five Muslim families living in Dearborn, Michigan.
"Lowe's has received a significant amount of communication on this program, from every perspective possible. Individuals and groups have strong political and societal views on this topic, and this program became a lightning rod for many of those views. As a result we did pull our advertising on this program," the company said in a statement Saturday.
"We believe it is best to respectfully defer to communities, individuals and groups to discuss and consider such issues of importance."
The conservative Florida Family Association, which is pushing advertisers to drop "All-American Muslim," cheered Lowe's decision. The group called the TLC show "propaganda that riskily hides the Islamic agenda's clear and present danger to American liberties and traditional values."
But the company's decision was decried by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and at least one of the show's cast members.
Both CAIR and Shadia Amen-McDermott, who is featured on the show, posted links on their Facebook pages to a petition, calling on advertisers to continue their support.
Late Saturday night, the petition had some 2,300 signatures.
"This is NOT about standing up for All-American Muslim - This is about Standing Up Against Bigotry and Hatred in this Country Founded on Peace, Justice, and Equality. Let's Stand United against Bigotry," Amen-McDermott wrote.

113: Riemann-Zeta
Title text: The graph is of the magnitude of the function with the real value between 0 and 2 and the imaginary between about 35 and 40. I've misplaced the exact parameters I used.
| This explanation may be incomplete or incorrect: Expand on the explanation of the title text.
If you can address this issue, please edit the page! Thanks.
A prime number is any positive whole number greater than 1 that is only divisible by itself and 1. There are an infinite number of prime numbers, but they are somewhat elusive since there is no known function that yields all prime numbers and only prime numbers. The Riemann zeta function begins with the infinite series of 1/n^s where s is a complex number (i.e., s = x + iy where x>1 and y are real and i is imaginary) and is summed from n=1 to infinity. It is then extended to be defined for all complex numbers, except s=1, by some advanced techniques. As the image text indicates, the graph in the picture is of the Riemann-Zeta function in the complex plane. Leonhard Euler proved that there is a relationship between the Riemann-Zeta function and prime numbers, which explains Randall's statement of the deep ties between the two.
Here Randall appears to be talking to his significant other, comparing her to prime numbers and himself to the Riemann-Zeta function. It is mathematically correct and quite poetic, until he mentions that his relationship differs from the comparison because "The Riemann-Zeta function couldn't have given you herpes." This implies that he has infected his lover with an incurable venereal disease. The comic effect of an abrupt change in tone like this is known as bathos.
The title text explains that Randall has forgotten the value of the complex number "s" for which he plotted the Riemann zeta function, but the "real" part (the "x" when s is written x+iy) is between 0 (the square root of 0) and +2 (the positive square root of +4), and the "imaginary" part (the "iy" when s is written x+iy) is between about 35i (the square root of -1225) and 40i (the square root of -1600).
- [A z=fn(x, y) plot, with pointy spikes on the back sloping to a relatively flat front.]
- You are like the prime numbers. Unpredictable turns, unconstrainable. Tantalizingly regular but never quite the same.
- I am like the Riemann-zeta function. A rippled curtain of the imagined and real. Deeply tied with you in ways incomprehensible.
- Although, strictly speaking, The Riemann-zeta function couldn't have given you herpes.
