Fred Thomas Glaze, 92, of Trussville passed away Sunday, Jan. 13, 2013.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and 11 older siblings.
He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Pansy Glaze; daughters, Charlotte Medders and husband Cecil of Trussville, and Marilyn McGee and husband Robert of Colorado Springs, Colo.; sister, Martha Hudson of Athens; grandchildren, Kelly McGee of Clemson, S.C., Jason Medders and wife Kelli of Fargo, N.D., Richard Medders and wife Johnni of Springfield, Mo., and Stephen Medders and wife Lauren of Melbourne, Fla.; great-grandchildren, Wyatt Medders, Callie Medders, Sadie Medders, and Watson Medders; and scores of nieces and nephews.
Fred was a native of Limestone County and graduated from Athens High School. He was inducted into the U.S. Army in 1942, and fought in Europe with I Company, 36th Armored Infantry Regiment, 3rd Armored Division, during World War II, earning a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star.
After the war he graduated from Alabama Polytechnic Institute (now Auburn University), became assistant extension county agent in Madison County, and married his college sweetheart Pansy. In 1953, he became the superintendent of the Auburn University Experimental Field in Alexandria, doing crop research. Later during his career, he served in that same capacity at fields in Aliceville, Prattville and Tuskegee, retiring in 1982.
Fred loved his Lord and savior and served him faithfully through the years in his local church. He enjoyed gardening, playing the harmonica, and keeping meticulous records on his extended family and their descendants, down through his great-grandchildren and his great-great-great nieces and nephews.
The family owes a debt a gratitude to The Village at Cook Springs for their excellent care and to Home Options for their assistance.
His family will receive friends from 1-2 p.m. Friday, Jan. 18, at Ridout's Trussville Chapel with the service beginning at 2. Burial will follow at Jefferson Memorial Gardens.

On 29 November 2012, Kenya's Prime Minister, the Right Honourable Raila Odinga, joined His Highness the Aga Khan at the signing of an agreement to rehabilitate Nairobi City Park.
The 60-hectare park, which has suffered over time from encroachment, pollution and other threats, will be rehabilitated over a period of several years. It will include a new restaurant, educational facilities, a botanical garden, an exhibition ground, an open air theatre and sports facilities. The works will also improve the site's amenities and public safety, as well as provide the necessary infrastructure to maintain the natural and cultural heritage of the park.
With 10 park and garden projects now in its portfolio, AKTC has demonstrated that even in the most challenging contexts, parks can have a positive impact on a city if they are restored and maintained. In several locations, AKTC has demonstrated that, under the right conditions, parks and gardens can also be economic generators that drive – directly and indirectly – a broad advance of positive change.

In our 10-year history, Sustainserv has played a critical role in fostering public-private partnerships, which are collaborations between the academic, corporate, and public sector to facilitate knowledge exchange and technology transfer for the greater good of society. One area particularly well-suited to this approach is regional energy management.
Energy management has increasingly become a challenging task due to concerns over climate change, cost containment, and an over-reliance on politically unstable regions that produce fossil fuels. Renewable energy production can serve to address many of these issues. Locally-generated renewable energy adds value to a region by stabilizing the electricity grid and reducing negative impacts on the local and global environments. However, making such a leap requires a fundamental shift in how energy supply is planned and implemented. As illustrated by the rapid rise in the number of wind turbines in Denmark, the deployment of renewable energy moves us away from the model of relying on a few large power plants to developing a network of many small and decentralized facilities.
Contrary to common belief, renewable resources are available where most of the energy is needed: in urban areas. Even densely populated cities have a lot of space available to produce renewable energy. These untapped resources include the following(1):
Building roofs and facades can host PV or solar hot water.
Local waterways can be tapped for hydropower.
Ground source heat pumps and air exchange technology can be used to supplement building heating systems.
Wastewater systems generate usable thermal energy.
Biomass can be converted into power and heat, and efficiency can be gained from co-generation of heat and power.
To capitalize on these resources, a well-coordinated energy plan is required. In general, decentralized heat generation should be prioritized over electricity production (heat cannot be efficiently transported over long distances, therefore the demand has to be met locally). But this doesn't mean that all roofs should be covered with solar collectors for hot water. If, for example, a certain type of building is suitable for capturing heat from wastewater, the available space on roofs and facades can be used for photovoltaic panels (which also produce the electricity for the heat pumps). This example illustrates that successful energy planning is holistic in its approach, and one way to support this process is by conducting an analysis at the city or regional level.
Examples of renewables deployed in urban areas.Top: Urban terrain temporarily used for biomass production. Bottom: South-facing building facades can be used for photovoltaics. (2)
To optimize energy performance, one must clarify which combination of technologies will provide the right energy at the right place. Only with a well-coordinated mix of technologies can the true energetic potential of an area be maximized.
An energy balance, which summarizes the potential for biomass, solar, and/or geothermal heat, is helpful but it still does not provide a holistic view. A spatial analysis is needed to integrate and map the energy production potential and compare it with local energy demand. One simple approach is to divide the area into Urban Spatial Types (such as "historic center," "business districts," "residential spaces," etc.), which are defined by a set of common characteristics including energy production potential and similar energy use profiles such as energy demand per square meter (see the reference at the end of the text for more details). Below is an example of a map showing the Urban Spatial Types (USTs) of the canton of Basel-Stadt, Switzerland:
Energy profile mapping of the canton of Basel-Stadt (Switzerland). Each color shows a different Urban Spatial Type with typical renewable energy production potentials and a typical energy demand per square meter.(2)
For these USTs, the long-term energy demand is assessed over a timeframe of 20-40 years. Thereafter, the corresponding potential to produce renewable energy is determined. Based on this, a ratio of renewable energy production to energy demand is calculated for both thermal and electric energy sources. The outcome is visualized using a geographical information system (GIS). The resulting map can then be used to inform energy plans and policies to optimize the renewable energy supply of the city by including existing energy infrastructure and planning additional supply options as needed.
Energy mapping has been carried out in cities and regions in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein. If the deployment of renewable energy is well planned, cities can actually meet most, if not all, of their energy demand with renewable energy generation in their own area:
Figure: Maximal energy self-sufficiency of investigated cities/regions in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein. The larger the circle, the higher the population density (2).
Regions with a lower population density have a higher likelihood of meeting energy demand with their own renewable resources. However, even densely populated cities like Hamburg (Germany) can produce more energy than they need (and export it). Thus, the use of renewable energy is not only a means to counteract climate change, but it can also provide a substantial economic benefit for a region.
Whether you are an international company with facilities spread across the globe, or a member of a municipal planning group, you may find that your stakeholders are seeking ways to prioritize and optimize the energy profile of your built environment. In this situation, consider adding a simplified energy mapping process to your planning toolkit.

Welcome to Mandalore ner vods! Spread the word that the Mandalorians are back and waiting! Munit Oya'cyir Manda'yaim!
If you care about star wars and the integrity of the timeline sign this petition
Posted by Commissar_Delta on Jul 3rd, 2013
"Dear Mr. George Lucas,
As we approach the 35th year since the debut of the groundbreaking Star Wars, the legacy of this monumental film and its sequels/prequels encompass innumerable achievements, from the way films are now made and merchandised, to the way they're supported by fans. One of Star Wars' most impressive achievements is the ever-growing body of literature that sprang out of the imagination of authors, editors and illustrators from your imagination as embodied on the big screen. Since 1978, these intrepid men and women—some of the greatest names in Science Fiction & Fantasy—have striven hard to harmonize, not only with the astounding vision laid out by you, but with the works of their fellow writers, artists and visionaries, creating something that's rarely ever been seen in the history of literature: a body of work that—despite its enormity and diversity of media—is, for the main part, consistent within itself, a vast web of interlocking tales. This high level of continuity has been one of the greatest draws of this universe for new and old fans, as it equates to a legitimately functioning, alternate history. That is truly an admirable achievement, and it is owed to you for conceiving it, and for employing a strong, smart staff to keep track of it all, and ensure its consistent high quality.
Recently, however, there has been serious concern that this unified tapestry is under threat due to a seemingly relaxed attitude to continuity—particularly as it relates to the much welcomed Clone Wars animated TV series. Many of the contradictions that the show has created could have been identified and rectified without sacrificing the narrative, quality or impact of the storylines. Since much of the enjoyment of the Star Wars universe comes from the verisimilitude of the saga—that necessary aspect of congruous historicity—a loss of this, whether intentional or not, creates a domino effect of contradictions, and erodes the ability for newer and older fans to confidently move forward in their support of the saga. A fictional universe where different stories controvert one another is not one that can long survive, as has been demonstrated over the years by various franchises which—taking little measure to ensure congruity—plummeted.
We, thus, politely request that tighter measures be put in place to help protect the history present in the established Expanded Universe as embodied in all its past stories (with the exception of the 'Infinities' tales, which are intended to be outside continuity), be they films, novels, comics, short stories, live-action and animated TV series. We understand that, at times, a change is necessary, or comes about through human error. However, with the talent and creative minds at your disposal, these can be minimized or retroactively fixed so that years of novels and comics aren't rendered null and void, creating the division and resentment that has recently burst forth amongst the fan community.
Star Wars has enjoyed over three decades of outstanding story-telling, allowing the universe to blossom into the unique and wildly successful franchise that it is today. From the first sighting of a Rebel Blockade Runner, through the dark times of the mid-'80s, to the birth of the new era of stories in the '90s, up to the prequel trilogy and Clone Wars animated series, many have loyally followed the franchise, and many more continue to jump in. Rather than seeing these stalwart enthusiasts alienated, feeling that their hard-earned money was wasted on something that's been rendered incongruous, we would wish to see them encouraged to delve even deeper. Star Wars can continue to grow and expand for another 35 years and beyond, but only if you set the example that story matters, inherent in which is respect for what has come before, the prior stories and their authors who've striven hard to live up to the high watermark that you set. We feel confident that, while this may be challenging, your creativity and imagination, along with those you employ, are up to this task, and will result in even stronger, more imaginative tales to come.
We appreciate you taking the time to hear our suggestions and thoughts." Petition of the 2000
to sign this petition click this link: Ipetitions.com
Didn't he say that he has no control over Star Wars anymore and it's all Disney now?
He did.
it can easily be edited and rerouted to the current head of Lucasfilm or even Leeland chee. just gotta change "Mr. Lucas" to someone else.
this petition i found is a little dated but its still applicable.
I don't know why you would bring the Clone Wars animated series into this. I know some people that watch it but it's meant for kids. As long as it's made by people that care about money, and about milking Star Wars for every cent then of course there are gonna be things that just don't match up with movies made in the 80's. I mean, how many times do you have to hear the imperial march when a bad guy shows up. Let's be real and consider the Star Wars now to be just a franchise meant to make people money and cherish the movies that started it all. Anything that's true Star Wars doesn't have to have a price tag to continue the story.
But alas watch JJ ruin this too like trek...
I doubt JJ or Disney for that matter will ruin Star Wars, Dave Filoni was really the only one to do that.
lens flare.
Signed without a second thought. (which would just be my first thought over again)

As promised here is a Soda Farl recipe. This is the one I use, although I haven't made my own for quite some time. As they are a griddle bread, I always used to do them on the flat cooking plate of my range. Sadly though it died for the final time a few months ago, so I no longer have my marvellous Soda cooker!
Soda bread is one of Northern Ireland's unique griddle breads, made fresh every morning to be eaten straightaway, or cooked until golden in an Ulster Fry. You should visit Northern Ireland or make your own to experience the yumminess. They are delicious with butter and homemade jam, or with savoury food such as smoked salmon, or thick dry-cured bacon.
450 g Soft (Plain) flour
7 g Bicarbonate of soda (1½ level teaspoon)
14 g Cream of tartar 20 g
Good vegetable or nut oil
300 ml Buttermilk
A hot plate/griddle or a heavy based pan. Makes 8 farls
1. Sieve all the dry ingredients 3-4 times into a bowl.
2. Make a well in the middle, add the buttermilk gradually, and bring the dough together. This recipe makes a soft dough, but the more buttermilk you incorporate, the better the bread tastes.
3. Turn out the dough onto a well floured wooden surface and give it a short, gentle kneading until you have a nice round shape.
4. Divide into two and knead both to form round balls again.
5. Roll these out until you have a fairly thick dough about 10" (25cm) in diameter and cut into quarters.
6. Preheat the griddle. To check the temperature, dust with flour. Once it starts to colour, brush off and turn the heat down. Your griddle is now ready.
7. Place the farls onto the griddle and once you have a good colour on one side (2-3 mins), flip over and cook for 5-10 minutes. The farls will rise into triangular pillows.
8. Test by pressing the middle, if they are still squidgy, you must flip over and bake out the 'bone' of raw dough.
9. Cool on racks covered with a damp tea towel to keep soft, or uncovered if you prefer a dryer crust
This is what they end up looking like, simply slice them through the middle, pop them in the toaster and then smother them in butter and strawberry jam, sit down with a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy.

Students who transfer to ODU during the 2013-14 academic year as a sophomore, junior, or senior and who want to become secondary math and science teachers may find that completing the MonarchTeach program can delay their graduation date significantly. While you may enter the program in Fall 2013 or later, you should be aware of the planned implementation schedule for MonarchTeach courses and the delays it may cause in your academic plans.
You may still choose to take Step 1 and Step 2 to gain classroom experience even if you decide not to continue with the MonarchTeach program. In addition, the experience of preparing and teaching lessons will benefit you in later courses. Please note though that the credits you earn for Step 1 and Step 2 will not satisfy course requirements in the current math and science Teacher Preparation programs, but they may help you decide if you really do want to teach.
As always, discuss your degree plan with your academic advisor in your department. You will also need to contact the advisors in Teacher Education Services to discuss your plans to take either the professional core courses presently being offered or the MonarchTeach courses under development.

insurance option in the House bill, favored by President Barack Obama. Other versions, like those introduced in the Senate,
do not offer a public health-insurance program.
"It's a huge expense, and it's going up every year. But offering some type of health-insurance benefit is important when you're
trying to recruit employees. It's probably double for trying to recruit support staff," says Block, DVM, MS, Dipl. ACVIM,
and co-owner of Ocean State Veterinary Specialists, a 27-doctor referral and emergency clinic in East Greenwich, R.I.
Block's bottom line isn't affected much by his benefits costs because of the size of his business, but he says smaller practices
affected more deeply by the recession are in a different predicament. It's a reality of small business ownership that is not
uncommon among veterinary-practice owners — a part of the smal- businesses segment that grapples with how to attract the best
employees by offering them competitive benefits while still being able to meet payroll.
Small businesses, or those with fewer than 20 employees, made up about 18 percent of private sector jobs in 2006, and about
a quarter of all job growth over the last decade. Yet these businesses, like veterinary practices seeking to offer benefits,
pay up to 18 percent more per worker than larger firms for the same health insurance policies, according to a report released
July 26 by the Executive Office of the President's Council of Economic Advisers. The answer to some may be to not offer health
insurance, but then their ability to attract the best employees is compromised.
Health-care reform, always a hot topic during presidential campaigns but hardly successful in the Legislature, may have more
traction this year. Democrats and Republicans are battling out the nuts and bolts during primetime addresses, and the public
is engaged in the debate. But what do their proposals mean for small-business owners, particularly the bottom line in the
average veterinary practice?

The rise of the social web marks a technology shift in the evolution of the web. But as interesting as the technology shift has been the cultural shift that has accompanied it, where activities that were traditionally considered private have increasingly become public. People who had previously written in a journal, kept family photo albums, and talked to their friends by phone or e-mail are now increasingly writing blogs, posting their photos on public photo sharing sites, and having conversations via public wall posts on social networks.
The result of this is that the web has become home to a mass archive of human communication and sentiment, containing large amounts of valuable information that are not well handled by traditional methods of retrieval and presentation. While the data is now available to answer queries like "how did the U.S. feel when Obama was elected?", search engines don't currently handle queries like this well.
Our research in this area involves extraction and visualization of sentiment data from the social web, and in building interfaces for real-time querying, analysis, and presentation of social and emotional data.
The key projects that we have done in this area are We Feel Fine, a system that crawls the world's blogs every minute, and extracts sentences that contain the words "I feel" or "I am feeling", and I Want You To Want Me, a system that continuously crawls online dating sites for expressions of self-definition and desire.
This is joint work with Jonathan Harris. The associated studies on the psychology of happiness are joint work with Jennifer Aaker and Cassie Mogilner.

3 Ways to Make Sure Kids Get Their Vitamin D
If your kids were getting the recommended dose before, they now need twice that much.
I've written more than a few stories on how Americans are by and large lacking in Vitamin D, but wow, was I unprepared for what I heard when I asked Frank Greer how many babies get enough Vitamin D: "If it's 30 percent, I'd be surprised."
Greer should know; he leads the American Academy of Pediatrics' committee on nutrition, which just doubled its recommendation for daily Vitamin D intake in children from 200 to 400 IU a day. The docs were concerned that many children, particularly young babies, aren't getting enough Vitamin D, which is essential for absorbing calcium from food and building bones. New evidence suggests that D also plays a vital role in the immune system, and might help protect against cancer and diabetes.
But how could so many American babies be missing out on this vital nutrient? Here's the deal: Many new mothers are Vitamin D deficient themselves, and can't deliver enough D to their babies while breastfeeding. Formula has enough Vitamin D to meet the pediatricians' goals. But moms who think they are doing the right thing nutritionally be breastfeeding need to give their babies supplemental vitamins, starting right after birth.
I always thought that parents were supposed to try to get vitamins into their kids by emphasizing healthy food, but that gambit doesn't work as well with Vitamin D. Oily fish contain D; hence the old-time winter remedy of cod liver oil. So does fortified milk. But a child would have to drink a liter of milk a day to get 400 IU—something that lots of kids, including my own, aren't about to do. Human skin synthesizes D, but people who live north of Chicago aren't exposed to enough sunshine from fall through spring to make their quota. People with darker skin, or those who cover themselves up to avoid sun exposure, also can't make enough D. Then there are the kids who spend almost all day either inside at school or inside watching TV. They could live on the Equator, and they still wouldn't get enough sun.
"There's no harm in giving a multivitamin," says Greer, who's a professor of pediatrics at the University of Wisconsin. In fact, he says, that's the only way that many children are going to get enough D. "All moms who are breastfeeding should be doing vitamin supplementation."
Here's Greer's advice, in summary:
• Give breastfed babies vitamin supplements that deliver 400 units of Vitamin D, starting shortly after birth.
• Older children and teenagers should get a multivitamin that includes 400 IU of Vitamin D; almost all do.
• Grandma was right; a teaspoon of cod liver oil contains 400 IU of Vitamin D.
• Encourage children to drink milk as a good source of bone-building calcium. But realize that unless a child drinks a liter of milk a day, she or he can't get enough Vitamin D in milk.
Greer is skeptical of the fad of claiming that Vitamin D is a miracle drug, capable of preventing cancer, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes. "Vitamin D has become the Vitamin E of the 21st century," he says, explaining that a decade ago E was touted as the miracle vitamin/cancer cure. It took a decade of research to figure out that not only was Vitamin E not a magic bullet, it actually increased the risk of lung cancer. "I don't think we're there" as far as being able to say that higher doses of D are safe, or effective. But for many children, Greer says, just getting up to 400 IU a day would be a big step forward.

Monday Morning Notes on Reforming Higher Education & Health Care
Sundquist Panel Back to the Future
Gov. Phil Bredesen may try to recycle part of the recommendations made by Don Sundquist's "Council on Excellence in Higher Education," which were basically tossed into the trash bin a decade ago, says the Commercial Appeal.
Not necessarily the hard part, as in reorganizing the three-headed structure of higher education, but things like tinkering with the funding formula and declaring specialties for various institutions.
James W. Guthrie, the Vanderbilt professor who was staff director of old study, has talked with Bredesen and has a recommendation on the latter point:
"I would say, UT Knoxville you're going to become a research powerhouse on physical sciences, technology and engineering. And Memphis, you're going to become a powerhouse around health and medical issues, biological science and health science, working with all those hospitals down there. Two newly energized research flagships that anchor both ends of the state and Vanderbilt in the middle -- that makes a lot of sense."
Doctor Roe Not Consulted
U.S. Rep. Phil Roe, otherwise known as Tennessee's doctor in the House, is complaining that Democrats are shutting Republicans out of health care reform negotiations. "They are compromising with themselves rather than Republicans," he tells Michael Collins.
The Wall Street Journal, meanwhile, has discovered TennCare and the way some Republicans - including Roe and U.S. Marsha Blackburn - are using its shortcomings as a debating point in national health care discussions.

|Aita, Williams Capture ITA Doubles Title
CARY, North Carolina – Senior Rafael Aita and junior Sam Williams are in a New York state of mind.
Aita (Lima, Peru) and Williams (Bristol, England) punched their ticket to the ITA National Men's Tennis Indoor Championships in Flushing, N.Y., early Monday by completing an unbeaten run in the ITA Carolina Regional at Cary Tennis Park.
Aita and Williams, the No. 2 seeds, defeated N.C. State's Robbie Mudge and Sean Weber, 8-4, for the right to travel to New York. The team beat opponents form Elon, Duke, North Carolina, South Carolina and N.C. State en route to the championship.
"We take a lot of confidence from this because we have so much respect for the teams in our region," said seventh-year Head Coach Mait DuBois. "We feel real good going into the national indoors next month."
The national tournament, scheduled Nov. 7-10 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, will feature 16 teams from eight regions, along with wild card entries.

It was Long Island's most dynamic decade, flooded with change. The dam burst at the Nassau-Queens border, pouring out torrents of new people, housing developments, and freshly-paved ribbons of roadway. In the 1950s, Long Island seemed destined for years of limitless suburban boom.
The great eastward stampede out of New York City transformed Long Island from a sleepy strip of sandy shoreline and potato farms to a bustling region with more people than 18 entire states. The national media breathlessly hyped the building crews and new ranch houses. Time magazine called it "Alice-in-Wonderland change…the wilds of Long Island are fast becoming citified," and housing developments were springing up so fast that "local census takers lost count."
Industry surged with the swelling suburbs. Almost one million new Nassau-Suffolk residents came to work in the aviation and defense industry. Thousands more headed for the Brookhaven National Laboratory, a new postwar research center, or to hundreds of small businesses and factories emerging near every parkway and expressway exit.
It was exciting, it was pioneering, and it was utterly chaotic. "We grew too fast," groaned the head of a Nassau County social agency in 1958. Many agreed. Calls for regional planning became louder over the decade. But as bulldozers scraped away farm fields and leafy trees, suburban development stayed irresistible and unstoppable. "Mr. and Mrs. Newcomer move out here to find fresh air, a yard for the kids to play in and the pleasant vistas of suburban living," wrote one reporter. "In their numbers, they threaten to destroy the very benefits they seek."
Did you move to Long Island from elsewhere? When? What drew you here and what makes you stay? What, if anything do you miss about "home?"
Written by Joshua Ruff, a curator at the Long Island Museum.

NORMAN — Nighttime fog and chilly temperatures were not enough to dampen the Bon Esprit of Norman Mardi Gras Parade revelers Saturday evening.
Beads, candy, lights and even live music kept spirits high and local residents turned out in impressive numbers to be a part of the festivities.
"The convention bureau typically anticipates about 4,000 people downtown for the parade, and it is always rain or shine," parade coordinator Aimee Rook said.
Among the prominent entries parading down Main Street were buses representing the parade's "Saint Sponsors," Party Galaxy and Rivermont Retirement Center — Party Galaxy sporting their blue, renovated school bus and Rivermont featuring some of its residents riding in a Mardi Gras-decorated shuttle.
Also making a memorable appearance was Norman Police Officer and parade veteran Rick Sellers, whose "Spirit of Kids" float dazzled crowds in a display of bright Christmas lights illuminating a large model airplane.
"I just love it," Sellers said of parade participation. "My whole family participates. I start ordering beads right after Mardi Gras each year and stock up about 500 pounds for the parade."
Sellers has had a parade entry for the past five years, winning first place for lights each year and snagging a grand prize for his dragon-themed float last year.
Norman's Mardi Gras parade is Sellers' festival of choice because of its family friendly atmosphere, and his family's parade entries are always kid-centric, with Sellers dressing as Barney the Dinosaur.
"I don't like environments like New Orleans' Mardi Gras would be, with lots of drunk crowds," Sellers said. "We always get beads we think the kids would like, and my grandson is the family member that accepts the lights award."
As an avid lover of the parade and the holiday it celebrates, Sellers was among friends and an appreciative — if shivering — crowd Saturday.
"I love Mardi Gras. I've been building this float for a month in my front yard, I use Mardi Gras fabric, glitter, paint, of course lots of lights. It's my Christmas," Sellers said.
The early Norman celebration is a kickoff for Fat Tuesday and Ash Wednesday this week.

To the editor:
While I was listening to a radio talk show out of Atlanta, Ga., on FM 95.5, the radio talk show host stated, "The U.S. dropped its standings in the world's economic freedom from 10th to 18th."
I did some quick research on this subject matter. There are quite a few articles on this subject. I picked one from the "Omaha World Herald." In 2010 the U.S. was rated at 10th in the world's economic freedom rating. Now we are at No. 18. I think that the U.S. should be No.1 in those ratings.
Canada, which is not supposed to have as much opportunity as we are, was rated as the 5th highest in economic freedom.
A few of the reasons why the U.S. has such a low rating is our tax code, size of government (the bigger the government, the more regulations, the less economic freedom and outdated regulations), the economic bailouts for the bank and auto industries, and the general welfare mentality. Why should we be practice good financial practices, when President Obama, his policy makers and would-be team player Elizabeth Warren automatically bail out ill-run corporations?
The report stated that even Hong Kong, a providence of China, has a higher rating than we do. This is totally unacceptable. This should not be tolerated. I can't fathom a communist country that has less economic regulation than we do.
I think that President Obama should not be re-elected and Elizabeth Warren should go back to her day job.
If our economy is getting better, according to President Obama and Elizabeth Warren, how come our economic freedom rating has dropped?

Hermon Bumpus and House Sparrows
" ... on February 1 of the present year (1898), when, after an uncommonly severe storm of snow, rain, and sleet, a number of English sparrows [= House Sparrows, Passer domesticus] were brought to the Anatomical Laboratory of Brown University [, Providence, Rhode Island]. Seventy-two of these birds revived; sixty-four perished; ... " (p. 209). "... the storm was of long duration, and the birds were picked up, not in one locality, but in several localities; ... " (p. 212). This event was described by Hermon Bumpus (1898) had has served as a classic example of natural selection in action. Bumpus' paper is of special interest since he included the measurements of these 136 birds in his paper. These data have been reanalyzed several times (Grant 1972, O'Donald 1973, Johnston et al. 1972).

Susan Adams, Forbes Staff
I cover careers, jobs and every aspect of leadership.
Do not curb your enthusiasm. Win Sheffield, 57, a coach for the last eight years with the career counseling firm The Five O'Clock Club, says a lot of job seekers forget that one of the most crucial parts of interviewing is convincing the hiring manager that you truly desire the job. Interviewers don't just look for applicants who have the requisite skills and will fit in with a company. Now more than ever, they want candidates who want them.
Sheffield is absolutely right, says Cynthia Bragdon, owner of Urban Indigo, a gift store in Oakland, Calif. "I don't know why some candidates miss this," she adds. "Maybe because they think it seems desperate." She says the most eager applicants quickly make her A list. "If they seem aloof, I get very worried, because any job requires a full commitment," she explains. "And if they are aloof in an interview, they will probably be aloof to my customers, which is a very bad thing."
In Pictures: How To Ace Your Job Interview
You can get across your enthusiasm in many ways, coaches say. Sheffield suggests that you prepare an arsenal of stories illustrating your skills, strengths and accomplishments. Rather than bragging in a general way about your abilities, describe specific experiences that show you putting those skills to use. You can speak animatedly about the pleasure and pride you took in overcoming obstacles. One advantage of storytelling over plain boasting, Sheffield says: "It's the interviewer who draws the conclusion."
In addition to offering stories that illustrate your strengths, use a direct approach and tell the interviewer how thrilled you'd be to work for her and for her organization in particular. Describe other offers or discussions you've got going, and let the interviewer know she is your first choice.
Most applicants understand that they should do their homework, learning as much as they can about a company and a job, before going in for an interview. But Cynthia Bragdon says candidates who haven't done basic research still show up. "If they ask me what the store hours are in the interview, that shows me they don't give a rip about getting the job," she says. "Or they're just plain stupid–and intelligence is a big, big factor for me."
Ahead of time, take a notebook, jot down a few points to help you remember your best stories and note three questions to ask about the specific job and the company. Then, when the interview starts, ask permission to take notes. Use your notebook as a cheat sheet.
Before the interview winds up, ask where you stand compared with the ideal candidate. Then ask how you compare with other applicants. These questions emphasize how much you want the job and help you take action after the interview.
Write a follow-up note that addresses any ways you were told you might not fit the ideal mold. Robert Hellmann, 49, like Sheffield a coach with The Five O'Clock Club, says a client of his turned a no into a yes through diligent, enthusiastic follow-up. In the interview, the hiring manager confessed concern about the candidate's lack of an analytic background. The interviewee wrote a follow-up e-mail that described her relevant experience and offered to analyze some sales data. The hiring manager sent her a terse note with some data attached. She analyzed the data and followed up with a phone call requesting another meeting. She got the job, Hellmann says. "In the interview," he adds, "sometimes the most important thing you can do is get the information you need to sell yourself."
In Pictures: How To Ace Your Job Interview
This is an update of a story that ran previously.
While I generally tend to agree with Wyn, and definitely agree with the point in this article that "Interviewers don't just look for applicants who have the requisite skills and will fit in with a company. Now more than ever, they want candidates who want them," it's important to remember that interviews are not games. As discussed in our article on The Only Three True Job Interview Questions http://tinyurl.com/72v9udg, it does come down to strengths, motivation, and fit. But it must be true strengths, true motivation, and true fit – both ways – not just making people think that in an interview.
George, it IS a game. It's a numbers game. People have rejected me because I had not enough experience in one area, and then another group rejected me because I had too much experience in that same area. While I agree that you should fake things, you do have to COMMUNICATE to show your true strengths, true motivation and your true fit for the job.
Getting a job is just like dating.
I've always heard that knowing a lot about the company before the interview is critical, but in my experience, 8 out of 10 times at least for nonprofit organizations, interviewers (not HR staff members), want to TELL you about the agency, its mission, history, current and future programs. I think the guidelines for for-profit positions vs non-for profit positions are not 1:1. This has often been true for resume length/style, the interview process, salary negotiation, etc.
Well .. at least this article giving some idea ,
Just as I coach hiring managers to include the 3 month, 6 month, 9 month, and 12 month goals in their job descriptions – see Recruiting Trends "Building An Effective Job Description" (http://www.recruitingtrends.com/building-an-effective-job-description), I coach candidates to ask that question during their interview. Once the goals are set, the skills and experience required to be successful in the first year become crystal clear. Then the candidates may focus their success stories on those skills/experience.
passion of life…..
Do not curb your enthusiasm. I agree to it very much. Enthusiasm is just the basic element to make your work dynamic. Maybe it comes from your interest even the mania on one field or from other things, it really supports us to handle things well and enjoy them.
Funny you should mention Curb Your Enthusiasm. On a related comedy note, job interviewers can take a tip from Ricky Gervais and his longtime creative partner when they went to the BBC to pitch their idea for the The Office. According a recent New York Times story, BBC executives were impressed not just with WHAT the team said, but HOW they said it. Their passion, enthusiasm and belief in themselves was "infectious." The producer said, "If they believe, I'll believe it." In a tough market, finding a way to bring passion into your job pitch can be the difference in standing out from the pack. I wrote about it here: http://actlikeyoumeanbusiness.wordpress.com/2012/02/16/how-to-nail-a-job-interview/
Excellent points.
An interview is like a dance…the candidate needs to know how to lead (as well as allow themselves to be led).
I think prepping with follow up questions is key.
Here are three that never fail me:
While I agree wholeheartedly in theory with this article…"Acing" an interview has a lot to do with how you come across to the interviewer and their human "gut feeling" of you. Now, I know every expert HR, evaluator of talent person will totally disagree with my ascertion but it's truly the "Pink Elephant" in the corner. Most interviewers determine your fate before you open your mouth…it's the reality.
"First impressions" are so important and can be dangerous…regardless how prepared you are at the interview.

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — They sweep. They swab. They sterilize. And still the germs persist.
In U.S. hospitals, an estimated 1 in 20 patients pick up infections they didn't have when they arrived, some caused by dangerous "superbugs" that are hard to treat.
The rise of these superbugs, along with increased pressure from the government and insurers, is driving hospitals to try all sorts of new approaches to stop their spread, like machines that resemble "Star Wars" robots and emit ultraviolet light or hydrogen peroxide vapors, germ-resistant copper bed rails, call buttons and IV poles, and antimicrobial linens, curtains and paint.
While these products can help get a room clean, their true impact is still debatable. There is no widely-accepted evidence that these inventions have prevented infections or deaths.
Meanwhile, insurers are pushing hospitals to do a better job and the government's Medicare program has moved to stop paying bills for certain infections caught in the hospital.
"We're seeing a culture change" in hospitals, said Jennie Mayfield, who tracks infections at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis.
Those hospital infections are tied to an estimated 100,000 deaths each year and add as much as $30 billion a year in medical costs, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency last month sounded an alarm about a "nightmare bacteria" resistant to one class of antibiotics. That kind is still rare but showed up last year in at least 200 hospitals.
Hospitals started paying attention to infection control in the late 1880s, when mounting evidence showed unsanitary conditions were hurting patients. Hospital hygiene has been a concern ever since, with a renewed emphasis triggered by the emergence of a nasty strain of intestinal bug called Clostridium difficile.

In this new rehearsal video for "Distance," singer-songwriter Christina Perri gets intimate with a melancholy love song, recording it with the help of friend Jason Mraz and an acoustic guitar. Though the video is unfussy, with simple studio shots of the recording process, the song's bittersweet message and haunting duet vocals from Perri and Mraz carry the clip with plenty of emotional vulnerability and engagement.
"'Distance' is a song about loving someone at the wrong time in your life. Maybe it's too soon, maybe it's too late, but nevertheless it's about being around that one whom your heart longs for without being about to show your true feelings, without being able to tell them," says Perri. "It's very hard to keep love a secret, and I wrote this song about the one time I had to."
"Distance" is on Perri's latest album, Lovestrong.

The legendary Dr. John has been a cornerstone of New Orleans music for decades. Best known for everything from his 1973 hit "Right Place, Wrong Time" to "Down in New Orleans" (from last year's animated movie Princess and the Frog), he was born in New Orleans and still lives there much of the year, so he's witnessed first-hand how the BP oil spill has decimated the ecosystem and the livelihoods of its people. Rolling Stone caught up with the songwriter to talk about how the environmental nightmare has destroyed his own backyard.
I was at my home in New Orleans when one of my partners heard about the explosion and the spill on his computer machine. I thought, "Oh, no, not again." There have been something like 880 spills in the Gulf that most people don't even know about. This was just the worst one.
Right after it happened, I saw some guys I know. I didn't know it at first, but a couple of them work for Transocean. They said they knew all about this in February and the company didn't do anything about it. It's all about the greed of the corporations. I do a song in my set called "Black Gold." I wrote it with Bobby Charles [the legendary Louisiana songwriter who died in February] for my last album. It's all about the oil companies. I changed the end of it, to talk about what's happening now. Bobby would have wanted me to do that.
I didn't have a chance to see much of what was happening before I went out [to tour] for my new record [Tribal]. But I took my granddaughter, who's 22, to go fishing in this one spot. It's one of the only spots left you can go. On the way there, we saw all these warning signs and things about BP. That was bad enough. When we got there, I could tell something was different. There were saltwater sharks hanging out where you normally don't see them, next to marlins. The last time, with Katrina, I'd see things like that — pelicans where you don't usually see them. It's nature's way of telling you something's not right.
I've been to that restaurant Bayona [whose owner is suing BP for damages to her business]. I don't go out to eat too much. I can't eat things like lamb because I have cirrhosis of the liver, so I have a pretty limited diet. So that's depressing because I like to eat seafood. It might never be the same down here. At least after Katrina, you could still go to the beach.
As told to David Browne.

Times West Virginian
Sometime early in the fourth quarter of a game that was an "embarrassment" to West Virginia University – the word embarrassment in this case was simply a thought in this corner until it was verbalized by coaches and players themselves outside the Mountaineer locker room – Anthony Becht issued a tweet for the Twitterworld to read.
"Physical will always trump finesse," opined Becht.
Now let me admit that if this came across Twitter from some of the Twits who Twitter on a regular basis, it would be dismissed outright as so much more Internet babble, but Anthony Becht carries impressive credentials.
For the freshmen, sophomores and sophomorics in today's readership, Becht was probably the best tight end ever to play at West Virginia and had a long and successful career in the National Football League, one he only reluctantly gave up this year after more than a decade.
When he talks football, it pays to listen, and what he was saying was the honest to goodness truth today, yesterday and tomorrow.
Dana Holgorsen can come to town with all the sophistication in his offense that he wants, but Syracuse showed in battering the heavily favored Mountaineers, 49-23, that there is no substitute for muscle and determination in football.
Holgorsen's offense was simply manhandled by the Syracuse defense, and defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel's group was treated no less gently by the Syracuse offense.
The only statistic WVU was able to lead in was bruises received.
"We knew what we were getting into," Holgorsen said. "Syracuse put it to us on all three sides of the ball – offense, defense and special teams. They outplayed us and outcoached us."
To Holgorsen's credit, he was out to meet with the media within minutes of the final gun, and while his media session lasted only 3 minutes and 46 seconds, it was not because he was uncooperative or cutting it short. He didn't have much to say and the media really didn't have very much to ask short of "what the hell happened out there."
"The kids were embarrassed on national TV," Casteel would admit after Holgorsen finished his spiel, speaking for the defense. "Syracuse put it to us."
"I'm embarrassed. That was a very tough loss," wide receiver Stedman Bailey said from the offensive side.
In truth, he was one of the few who had little to be embarrassed about, having caught 7 passes for 130 yards, his fifth consecutive 100-plus-yard receiving game which extended his own school record.
One of the catches as an impossible, acrobatic catch in double coverage where he pulled the ball in on the sideline, shook the two defenders, barely kept his feet in bounds to survive an official replay and trotted the final yards of 64-yard TD into the end zone as the defenders looked around, thinking the ball had to have been incomplete.
So much for the highlights … well, that's an exaggeration. Bradley Starks made another magnificent touchdown grab of his own for a 25-yard score, but the rest of the night the Mountaineers were being knocked silly by the Syracuse offensive line and hard-running backs and by a savage blitz that got to Geno Smith four times for 35 yards in losses.
And that says nothing about the passes that were batted down or the throws that were rushed.
"Up front we were really exposed," Holgorsen said. "They showed us up there on both sides."
There really wasn't any area of the game WVU played well. They even obliged by allowing their weekly kickoff return for a touchdown to be put into the mix, Syracuse's Dorian Graham returning one 98 yards for a score.
Somehow you believe by the time the weekend is over the Mountaineers will have found a way to fall from 99th place in the national rankings on defending kickoff returns into triple figures.
The problem has been politely broached a physical one up to now, but when you get down to trying to translate that into English what you are really saying is that the Mountaineers weren't tough enough.
That's not questioning their manhood, but it is questioning whether or not the idea of being tough is emphasized enough on this team. When you run a finesse offense, as the Mountaineers do, the linemen and runners are not toughened up, and because the defense goes against that offense in practice, they are not ready for the kick-in-the-groin style of football that Syracuse plays.
Oddly, though, Syracuse's passing game must have had some measure of finesse to it because they found a way to free their tight ends for four touchdown passes, three of them running so loose that it would have been a long distance call for the defenders to talk to them.
The only positive to come out of this was probably one you never really want to have.
"You do not want to say it," defensive tackle Julian Miller said, "but we may have needed this to happen."
If it gets across the idea that the Big East is a league where toughness matters, then maybe there is something to take from the disaster.

Staff reports
Enid News and Eagle
Long lines at Chick-fil-A at Oakwood Mall in Enid, Oklahoma, has prompted mall security officials to enforce its rule against taking pictures of store fronts and to inform people to stop using cell phone and other cameras Wednesday, Aug. 1, 2012.
Business was hopping during the noon hour in Enid as part of a nationwide campaign to eat at Chick-fil-A franchies in support of its CEO, who was criticized for his vocal support against gay marriage, and after a call was made by gay rights groups to boycott the franchises.
As the line grew in Enid, security officers at Oakwood Mall were telling the business' patrons to put away their phones, and Enid police eventually were called.
"There was a misunderstanding," EPD Sgt. Tim Jacobi said. "It was kind of a civil matter that started over taking pictures."
Brian O'Rourke, police chief, said authorities weren't enforcing the mall's photo policy.
"We were called out on a criminal matter, not to enforce any photo ban," O'Rourke said.

Niagara Gazette — A few questions and answers this week:
JOHN FROM NIAGARA FALLS: Help! When my car is parked, the engine temperature increases to a normal temperature. When the car starts moving, the temperature drops. What's happening and what can I do about it?
TOM: It's important to give me the year, make and model of your car when seeking information. That said, check the coolant level. It is probably low and that's the reason for loss of heat when driving. When an air bubble gets into the system, it travels throughout the system while the engine is in operation causing loss of heat and, in worse case scenarios, overheating. Another possible cause of this problem is a bad thermostat that is stuck in the wide-open position, offering no resistance in the system. Consequently, there is no time for the coolant to absorb heat from the cylinders and carry it to the heater core where the heat is transferred into the vehicle cabin.
JOHN FROM ACKWORTH, IOWA: I own a '99 Buick Park Ave with110, 000 miles (automatic transmission). There is a buzzing sound up front when driving. This sound persists when I select neutral and speed up the engine with no change in sound frequency. When I steer left it stops; going to the right it continues. Is this a wheel-bearing problem?
TOM: Based on your description of the problem, I would say that yes, you have a bad wheel bearing on the right front side. What is happening when you turn left: You relieve pressure on the bearing by shifting the vehicle's weight up and off the bad bearing. When you turn right, you intensify the noise by shifting vehicle weight downward onto the bad bearing causing it to growl (or buzz, as you call it). A good tech can put the car on a lift and pinpoint which bearing is bad with an electronic listening device.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The wintry precipitation came to an end across the entire area by nighttime on Friday.
The storm moved into the Charlotte region around 8 a.m. Scattered sleet showers affected parts of the area through the lunch hour, then we got a break.
A round of heavier sleet and freezing rain hit the Charlotte area between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., and began to move into Monroe and Union County around 5 p.m.
The Charlotte area will not climb above freezing through mid-morning on Saturday, so expect lots of ice to stick around.
The entire area, including Charlotte, is under a Winter Weather Advisory through noon on Saturday. While no additional precipitation will fall, roads will remain slick and travel conditions treacherous.
(Click here for area delays and closings)
(Watch: Latest video forecast)
Charlotte received .11'' of sleet from the storm.
If our high holds at 27° this would be the coldest day in Charlotte since Jan. 2004. H/T/ @sercc— Brad Panovich (@wxbrad) January 25, 2013
Over the weekend, temperatures will stay cold. Look for highs in the upper 30s and low 40s. By next Tuesday, highs will be in the upper 50s to around 60 degrees.

If cancer is 200 different diseases, why does it have one name?
This question lies at the heart of what cancer is, why some cancers are more deadly than others, why some respond better to treatment, and why two people with the same cancer and same stage of disease can respond differently to the same treatment. These questions are also at the core of controversies that arise when cancer activists lobby for one particular cancer and scientists object, saying that such action may divert funding from studies investigating questions relevant to all cancers.
The fact is, no one kind of cancer is like any other cancer; all cancers are different. Yet, all cancers are similar in terms of their fundamental underlying mechanisms.
This article originally appeared in Frontiers (Autumn 1998) a chronicle of cancer programs at The Ohio State University and was adapted for use on NetWellness with permission, 2004.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) -- The Army Corps of Engineers wants an exemption from a clean water permit South Carolina must approve for the $650 million deepening of the Savannah River shipping channel.
That permit is the subject of a much-publicized dispute now before the state Supreme Court.
The corps announced last week it has given final approval to the deepening project so larger container ships can call at Georgia's ports.
In a letter acquired Monday by The Associated Press, the assistant secretary of the Army writes to Sen. Barbara Boxer of California seeking an exemption from the South Carolina permit approval.
The letter says the corps wants the exemption to prevent what it calls "inappropriate delays" to the project because of the ongoing lawsuit.
Boxer heads the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works.

Crunch time for York City's on-loan ace Alex Rodman
12:10pm Tuesday 1st January 2013 in News
On-loan Aldershot striker Alex Rodman has been told he has two games in which to impress York City boss Gary Mills, writes Dave Flett.
Mills is facing a decision on whether to retain his services beyond Saturday's clash with Exeter.
Rodman has netted once in six outings since his November arrival and the Minstermen boss said: "I haven't made my mind up on him yet.
"We've got two big home games now and he will get another opportunity to try to earn himself a longer stay at the cub. I know he's enjoying it here so it's down to him in the next couple of games to show what he's capable of."
Despite the transfer window reopening today, City are unlikely to field any new faces against Burton at Bootham Crescent, with Mills adding: "Nothing concrete is happening as yet and, unless anything does, we will be concentrating on the players we have."
Centre-back David McGurk is expected to retain his place, while Scott Kerr is set to start as well despite a facial injury.
