Amazon Web Services
Back when I was in college, there weren't many options for buying technical books. I could buy them new at the high-priced campus bookstore, I could buy them from a high-priced competitor around the corner, or I could buy used copies from other students, who advertised their wares at the end of every semester. Regardless, my ability to buy books was dictated by my location, coupled with my ability to learn what was available.
So, it probably won't surprise you to learn that I was an early customer of on-line bookstores, patronizing both Bookpool and Amazon before the summer of 1995. The combination of excellent prices and wide selection, along with convenience was a dream come true. Much as I might hate to admit it, I probably spent just as much on books from on-line stores as I would have at their brick-and-mortar counterparts. However, although my book-buying budget was unchanged, the number of books I could buy, as well as the variety that was available, was unparalleled in the physical world.
Things got even better when Amazon opened its doors to third-party booksellers. Now I could not only compare new book prices from the comfort of my living room, but I could browse and buy used books as well. The number of interesting books available for less than $1 US (plus shipping) has turned me into something of a book-buying monster; the shelves of my graduate-school office are filled with books that I hope will be useful in my research, but that I bought largely because the opportunity existed. When I hear about an interesting book, my first instinct now is to check at Amazon—or even better, at isbn.nu, which compares prices across multiple sites.
Over the years, Amazon has assembled a huge database of information about books. I'm sure that this database of books, buyers and sellers continues to be an important source for Amazon's decision-makers. But a few years ago, Amazon decided to do something surprising—they opened part of their internal database to third-party developers, in a program known as Amazon Web Services (AWS). Using AWS, developers can perform nearly every task they would normally be able to do on the Amazon site, using a client-side program rather than a Web browser. AWS also includes a number of features aimed at booksellers, for pricing and inventory management.
In the latter half of 2005, Amazon unveiled a number of new initiatives that fit under its "Web services" umbrella, only some of which are related directly to selling and buying books. At about the same time, eBay announced that it would no longer be charging developers to use its Web services, making it possible to query two of the largest databases of sales data. And, of course, Google has long offered Web services of its own; although data is currently limited to the main index, it is probably safe to assume that it is a great resource.
This month, we begin to explore the world of commercial Web services, looking especially at ways in which we can integrate data from external Web services into our own applications. Along the way, we'll see some of the different ways in which we can invoke Web services, some of the different offerings that are available to us and how we might be able to build on existing Web services to create new and interesting applications.
During the Web's first decade or so, it was mostly designed for user interaction. That is, most HTTP clients were Web browsers, and most of the content downloaded by those browsers was HTML-formatted text intended for people to read.
At a certain point, developers began to consider the possibility that they could use HTTP for more than just transmitting human-readable documents. They began using HTTP to transmit data between programs. The combination of HTTP as a transmission protocol and XML as a data format led to XML-RPC. Because XML and HTTP are platform-neutral, one did not have to write both the client and server programs in the same language, or even use the same operating system. XML-RPC thus provides a means for cross-platform RPC (remote procedure calls), with far less overhead than other similar approaches to the same problems (such as, CORBA middleware) might require.
XML-RPC was and is a good, clean and lightweight protocol, but it lacked some of the sophistication, error handling and data types that many developers wanted. Thus, SOAP (originally short for the Simple Object Access Protocol) introduced a number of extensions to make it more formal, including a separation between the message envelope and body.
XML-RPC and SOAP both assume that the server will be listening for method calls at a particular URL. Thus, a server might have an XML-RPC or SOAP server listening at /server, or /queries, or some such URL. The client is then responsible for indicating which method it needs in the request. In XML-RPC, we use the methodName tag. Parameters and metadata are all passed in the XML envelope, which is sent as part of an HTTP POST submission.
A different technique, known as REST, identifies the method calls in the URL itself. It passes parameters like a standard GET request. REST has a number of nice features, especially its simplicity of implementation and use. And, debugging REST is easy, because you can enter the URLs into a Web browser instead of a specialized program. However, a large number of people are still using SOAP and XML-RPC, especially when working with complex data structures.
Web services form the core of what is increasingly known as service-oriented architecture, or SOA, in the high-tech world. A Web service brings together all of the advantages of the Web—platform independence, language independence and the ability to upgrade and change the service without having to distribute a new version.
SOA makes it possible to create new services, or even to unveil new versions of existing services, either by replacing an existing implementation or by unveiling a new implementation in parallel with the old one. Those who use Web services can benefit from improved speed and efficiency, or from completely new APIs, without having to worry about incompatibilities or installation problems. In addition, as long as developers follow the service's published specification, they can use whatever language and platform they want, creating anything from an interactive desktop application to an automated batch job that crunches through gigabytes of data.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

a: tall lager glass, rich golden color but with little to no head
s: full pilsner malt aroma, bready and crisp, with an outstanding spalt hop aroma - leafy and mildly spicy, subtle citrus, very well rounded
m: carbonation a high medium, not quite as full or lively as I prefer, body ranges between light and medium
t: great balance between crisp yet mildly sweet pilsner malts and the leafy, citrusy, spicy noble hops; balancing bitterness in the finish, Victory tends to produce fantastic lagers, and this is no exception
d: a full-flavored pilsner with good drinkability, took two servings with no problem

Got it on tap at Victory Brewing Company in Downingtown, PA, 5/27/10.
A: Slightly hazy bright golden-yellow body with a 2-finger white head. Leaves behind nice rings of lace.
S: Nice and clean -- cereal grains and floral -- what I think of as German-style -- hops.
T: Light crackery/biscuity malt up front, with a good dry, lemony bitterness at the end. Slight hint of spice and a bit of a "bite" to it. Bitterness lingers. As it warms, I get a bit more earthiness to it.
D: Very good. Goes down easily and was enjoyable. Might've been served a tad bit too cold, which is an unusual impression for a pilsner, especially for me, as I like my pilsners very cold.

Draft at the Pour House in Westmont, NJ.
Pours a very hazy and dark golden yellow color with banana hues and a 1.5 finger frothy white head. Good retention, only slowly fading into a lasting ring. Chunks of soapy lacing left behind.
Earthy aroma with a spicy hop presence that's countered by light fruit, citrus rind and pale malts. Slightly spicy with some clove/pepper followed by lemon peel, apple, pear and earthy, grassy pine.
Medium bodied with a spicy, slightly dry hop bite that lingers into a dry finish. Grassy but only slight bitterness that nicely balances the grass/straw notes as well as the citrus and light fruit. Hints of apple and pear compliment the pale pilsner malt flavor. Very flavorful , refreshing and easy to drink.

On-tap at the Brick Store.
Pours a slightly hazy golden-straw color with a one-finger white head. The head recedes into a wispy layer on top leaving solid lacing.
Smells of crisp pilsner malts with very light hints of breadiness. Also present are crisp leafy hop aromas with light amounts of lemon rind.
Tastes very similar to how it smells, although a bit smoother. Pilsner malt flavors kick things off and are joined quickly by earthy and leafy hop flavors. Midway through the sip very mild amounts of light citrus - lemon with hints of grapefruit - make an appearance before carrying through to a mildly bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with smooth carbonation.
Drinkability is also good. I finished my glass quickly and could have another.
Overall I think this is my least favorite of the braumeister series - still a very good beer but it doesn't really gain anything from the dry-hopping. The bready/yeasty notes are not as pronounced in this version either. Still, a good beer that's worth a shot.

Poured from my growler into my Stiegl Pils glass. (Growler from Greens in Piney Grove)
A - Golden yellow with a big fluffy white head.
S - Noble hop smell with spicy lemon hints. Smells a little spicier than your normal Pils but basically in line for the style.
T - Crisp pilsener flavor with a bit of the lemony spiciness I smelt up front. A little bitter at the finish. It's good but really lacks compared to the other Pils from Victory.
M - light-medium body with a high amount of carbonation typical in the style
D - Easy drinking Pils. Decent but really isn't as good as the other two I've had in the Braumeister series (Tettnanger was best then the Saaz). In fact I think I prefer Prima Pils over this one. I'd try this one again but won't seek it out.

Another beer brewed exclusively for the Craft Brewers Conference in April but also available for a limited time at Victory's Brewpub. Uses Spalt hops instead of Tettnanger.
Poured a clear golden yellow with 2 fingers of bubbly white head, good retention and great lacing. Smells of fresh cut grass, honey, and earthy hops. Tastes of honey up front, sweet grainy malts, and spicy and earthen hops in the finish for a nice crispness. Medium light in body with good carbonation, smooth and crisp. A good balance of flavors, very crisp and refreshing, low in alcohol. A little more mellow in the hop area than the Tettnanger version.

On tap at Victory (had this the other week).
Poured a lighter golden/yellow color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of grassiness, some citrus, and grains. Tastes of the same grassiness, citrus, and a lighter sweetness. Light, drinkable and resfreshing.

Colorado: Wild West, Wild Voters
Hispanic voters playing a key role in presidential politics.
Hoping to secure the Western state, Romney, his wife Ann, and top surrogates held a series of campaign events in the state leading up to the first presidential debate, which took place at the University of Denver on October 3.
Ann Romney was particularly popular, according to those gathered at a 'Women for Mitt' event held in , a conservative Denver suburb.
[READ: Romney Continues Making Gains in Battlegrounds, Talks Foreign Policy in Ohio]
"Ann Romney is for marriage between a man and a woman. Ann Romney is not for abortion. Ann Romney is for life. Ann Romney is for Israel," says Littleton resident Cathy Hansen.
Her husband, Jeff, says he supports Romney because he's a businessman and has a plan to fix the economy. But it's more than just the prospect of lower taxes that has him excited.
"That's not critically important for us, no," Hansen says. "But I think he will do whatever it takes to get people back to work and have more money. It's about taking back the country from someone who is clearly incompetent."
The Hansens represent a key voting bloc that Romney needs to turn out in order to counter the more urban Denver, where voters largely support Obama. Denver residents are younger, less religious, and more diverse than their suburban counterparts. The city played such a large role in his 2008 election, it was where Democrats held their national convention and Obama accepted the nomination.
Obama himself held a rally the day following the debate and first lady Michelle Obama barnstormed the state just last week.
Laura Chapin, a local Democratic strategist, says she's confident the president will take the state's nine electoral votes again thanks both to his local campaign team's knowledge of the state's quirks, as well as the emergence of women's right to abortion and contraception as campaign issues.
[READ: Joe Biden's fiery debate performance energizes Ohio Dems.]
The idea of the government intervening in women's health choices is just a loser in the largely libertarian state, she says.
Tamira Murphy of Denver and a Metro State College student says she can't wait to cast a ballot for Obama for a second time.
"He's there for America not just the higher class of America, he supports everyone, the middle class and the lower class and I would love to see what he could do," she says, adding that she doesn't think much of Romney. "It took eight years to mess this country up, let's see what he can do in the next four."
To young people who may be disappointed they are having trouble finding jobs, Murphy says it's not the president's fault.
"They aren't working hard enough," she says. "There are jobs out there, you know what I mean, it's not always going to be the job you wanted to get. I think he's opened up a lot of job opportunities."
Colorado is one of the majority of states that sanctions early voting, and as with other battlegrounds, both campaigns know they need to push up turnout, particularly because recent polls have shown Romney making up ground on Obama. The two are now in a statistical tie.

---- — The press is a great forum to bring critical issues impacting the residents of our communities to light. I have heard and taken part in many water cooler discussions regarding issues that have gained their visibility with your help. For that I thank you and offer the following.
I represent the 14,000 members of M-C Federal Credit Union who live, work and are a vital part of Columbia, Montour Northumberland, Snyder and Union counties. It is in their interest and that of our neighbors that we need to unite and address U.S. Sen. Richard Durbin's amendment (No. 3989) that was forced into the Financial Reform Bill (S.3217). This amendment, offered without debate, will harm consumers and our ability to provide critical financial services to our members, other credit union members and community banks in our area. The focus of the Financial Reform Bill was to address the bank failures and high-risk activities that led to the worst economic crisis in many of our lifetimes.
The debit card is the new standard of convenience for consumers in this age of automated financial transactions, where fraud protection and data security are in constant focus. This service is not free, and is supported in part by interchange revenue, an important part of our revenue stream. The amendment empowers the government with control on the amounts that merchants pay to support the system that allows you to use your card at their establishment. Everyone needs to understand that the credit union assumes all of the risk on a debit card transaction.
So who wins and who loses? The large box retailer will pay less; they win. The consumer will lose; if fees do not cover the costs, then programs will be discontinued or other services that are free today will become fee-based. You can be heard by letting your congressman know the importance of removing the interchange amendment language from the final Financial Services Reform bill. Call toll free. The number is 1-877-223-5275.

G8 finance ministers try to duck discussion of their failure on aid to Africa
G8 Finance Ministers are desperately trying to avoid any discussion of their failure to deliver promised aid to Africa, says international agency, Oxfam ahead of the G8 Finance Ministers meeting (18 - 19 May) in Potsdam, Germany.
Although five African finance ministers are attending the meeting, G8 ministers are hoping to keep discussion to a small initiative on budget transparency in Africa and avoid all discussion of the massive shortfall in promised aid.
Despite promises made at the G8 summit in 2005 to increase aid by $50bn a year, recent figures from the OECD show that in 2006 aid to Africa barely changed, and overall aid actually fell. Research published by Oxfam International last week reveals that on current trends the G8 could miss its aid promise by $30 billion. Italy is predicted to be $8.1bn short on its promise, France $7.6bn and Germany $7bn.
In previous years this final meeting of finance ministers before the G8 summit is the place where deals are struck but this year ministers are instead trying to avoid any discussion let alone action on their failure to increase aid. Oxfam is calling on the G8 finance ministers to use this vital meeting to collectively agree clear annual aid increases to get back on track to meet their aid promises.
"The G8 cannot ignore the elephant in the room, their failure to meet their promises to Africa. This weekend is where the G8 money men could easily come up with the missing aid to ensure their leaders avoid embarrassment in front of the world next month in Heiligendamm," said Max Lawson of Oxfam.
"The amounts needed are pocket change for the G8 economies, but are life and death for millions in Africa. Of course African countries should be transparent with their budgets and improve financial governance, and many are doing just that, but this cannot be used as an excuse to avoid discussion of the G8's own financial failings."
Many governments in Africa are fighting corruption, improving accountability and transparency, and spending aid effectively. Increased aid has helped the Tanzanian governments make primary school free, with the result that 3.5 million more children are now in school and the number of children dying in their first year of life has been reduced by a third. Aid is also directly promoting good governance by funding civil society in many countries to hold their governments to account.
"In the two years since Gleneagles, 21 million children under five have died from preventable diseases – the equivalent of every child under five in Germany, France, Canada, Japan, Italy and the UK. The financial cost to the G8 of increasing aid is just one tenth of military spending but the human cost is millions of lives," said Lawson.
Oxfam is also calling on the G8 finance ministers to support proposals to curb the activities of so called 'vulture funds' which aim to profit by buying up a poor country's debt at a bargain price and then pursuing it for a vastly inflated figure through the courts. In the most recent case, Donegal International successfully sued the government of Zambia and won $15 million – almost three times what they paid for the debt and over a third of what Zambia is projected to save in debt relief in 2007.

The Tale of the $15 Tomato
Dubner: A lot of things we do for fun or for entertainment — things like gardening or knitting or baking — these are things that our great-grandparents HAD to do, and probably would've loved to NOT have to do.
Levitt: I think that is really a sign of how spoiled we have all become. Our basic needs are so well taken care of that we need to seek out some sort of hardship to feel whole.

The autopsy of an unarmed man killed by a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer in September shows he had 10 bullet wounds, including five that were fatal.
The report released Friday also revealed no illegal drugs in Jonathon Ferrells system. The 24-year-old had a blood-alcohol content of 0.06, which is within the legal limit of 0.08 for driving, the autopsy results also show. He also had traces of nicotine and caffeine.
On the night of Sept. 14, Ferrell wrecked his car on Reedy Creek Road in northeast Charlotte and then banged on the door of a nearby house. The woman inside the home thought someone was trying to break in and called 911.
Ferrell was shot as he approached three officers who responded to the call.
Less than 24 hours after the shooting, Officer Randall Kerrick was charged with voluntary manslaughter. He is the first officer to be charged in an on-duty shooting in at least 30 years. The department decided Kerrick did not have a lawful right to discharge his weapon, according to a police statement.
Five bullets struck Ferrell in the chest and were fatal, according to the autopsy report released by the Mecklenburg County Medical Examiners Office.
Three other bullets struck him in the shoulder and werent fatal, the report said. Ferrell also had gunshot wounds in his left upper arm and abdomen.
The report showed nine bullets that struck Ferrell traveled downward through the body, front to back.
Chris Chestnut, an attorney for Ferrells family, said that shows Ferrell was struck while he was falling down or was already down, since he was taller than Kerrick. I think he was down to start with, Chestnut said.
But autopsy experts told the Observer on Friday that the downward path of the bullets had only to do with their trajectory and do not suggest the position or location of Ferrell to the shooter or vice versa.
The autopsy also showed abrasions on the upper part of Ferrells forehead. He had a small abrasion on his lower right forearm where he was handcuffed, according to the report. It is unclear from the report how Ferrell got the abrasions on his forehead. It is standard procedure to handcuff a suspect even after hes been shot, said Mike Bumcrot, who has followed the Ferrell case and is a California-based expert on the use of force by police.
George Laughrun, one of Kerricks attorneys, declined comment on the autopsy.
Chestnut said the report confirms everything weve said about Jonathon Ferrell from day one: He was an All-American kid who had driven a co-worker home when he has a horrific accident, looks for help from an officer and then is shot 10 times.
Chestnut said Ferrells 0.06 blood-alcohol content is irrelevant to the shooting. But he said Ferrell was within the legal limit to drive and had just driven the co-worker home.
A person of Ferrells weight 225 pounds would have to consume slightly more than five beers over two hours to reach a 0.06 blood-alcohol content, according to the University of Oklahoma Police Departments online blood-alcohol content calculator.
The only mental state in question is Officer Kerricks, Chestnut said.
Bumcrot, who retired in 2002 from the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department after 33 years, said he wonders if Ferrell was injured in the wreck or was knocked unconscious and left in a state of medical distress when he went to seek help.
The autopsy report doesnt address whether Ferrell suffered any injuries as a result of the late-night wreck. The cause of the wreck is not known, but it appeared to be a one-car accident.
The Medical Examiners Office released the report at the request of the Observer and other news media. State law says autopsy reports are public.
The autopsy report release follows Thursdays order from Mecklenburg County Superior Court Judge Richard Boner about the police video from the shooting. The order blocked the Charlotte city manager and CMPD from releasing the video and gave control of the footage to the state prosecutor handling the case. Staff writers Ames Alexander and Gavin Off contributed.

Living at the Jersey Shore is wonderful, even though I don't go on the beach and never go in the ocean. Instead, I always search out the best restaurants.
Trouble is, so few restaurants offer you a view of the water, whether it's the ocean, the bay, the river or the canal. I can never understand that.
Same goes for great seafood. I watch the trawlers come and go through the Manasquan Inlet with the catch of the day or tasty clams and scallops. But there are so few great seafood restaurants at the Jersey Shore.
Shame, shame on restaurant owners.
Far too many pubs, bars, restaurants or whatever you want to call your favorite watering hole serve the same bill of fare: fried appetizers, not so good pizza and barely creative special dishes.
So when I find a truly great restaurant, I feel blessed. Restaurants with a view of the water is a definite plus for me. A creative chef is a keeper, too. Cold beer also is great, although I've become sophisticated (can you believe that?) and now love a martini or two. But I do drink responsibly, so no nasty emails, please.
I've found a few good places with a view at the Jersey Shore. Cherish them like I do because there just aren't that many good ones.
My all-time favorite restaurant with a beautiful view of the ocean is long gone: Top of the Mast in South Seaside Park. It was the very best. A long, long bar faced the ocean. The food was outstanding. And the lobster tail I always enjoyed there was marvelous.
I think you will find my favorite restaurants with a view to be very good, especially Mister C's Beach Bistro in Allenhurst, where the bar also faces the ocean much like the Top of the Mast did.
I was even at Mister C's one night when it began to snow. I sat at the bar with dear friends Karen Marzulli and Chico Perrotto, owners of the place.
It doesn't get any better than that.
I've put together a list of waterfront restaurants that I think you will enjoy, as I did:
- Atlantic Bar & Grill, 1020 Fourth Avenue, Seaside Park.
- Bahr's Landing, 2 Bay Avenue, Highlands.
- Bay View Terrace @ Key Harbor Marina, 2 Point Road, Waretown.
- Dutchman's Brauhaus, 2500 East Bay Avenue, Manahawkin.
- Jenkinson's North Pavilion, end of Broadway at the ocean, Point Pleasant Beach.
- Martell's Tiki Bar, on the boardwalk, Point Pleasant Beach.
- Mister C's Beach Bistro, Ocean & Allen Avenue, Allenhurst.
- Rooney's Ocean Crab House, 100 Ocean Avenue, Long Branch.
- Seaside Crab House, 901 Boardwalk (above the Aztec), Seaside Heights.
- Shipwreck Point, 20 Inlet Drive, Point Pleasant Beach.
- Stella Marina Bar & Restaurant, 800 Ocean Avenue, Asbury Park.
- Sunsets, 302 South Concourse Ave., Neptune.

I decided some weeks ago that I was through trying (and that is the word, believe me) to dialogue with and debate anti-Catholics. That is a done deal. I'm not wondering about that at all. The experience of the Great Luther Quote Debate and being turned down seven times by anti-Catholics, who refused to discuss the foundational, crucial issue of the definition of "Christian" in a live chat, were the straws that broke the camel's back in that regard. There's no hope. I shake the dust off my feet (with utter disgust) and leave these folks to their own devices and follies and imbecilities.
But I still put up an occasional "comedy" post dealing with the anti-Catholics. My readers seem to have rather mixed feelings about this. I could go either way. The purpose of those "funny" posts was to entertain you in the first place. If the majority of you don't like them, however, then obviously, there is little purpose for such posts, and I'll stop putting them up. It's very important to me to know what my readers prefer, and what helps them to be more confident, faithful Catholics or to understand the Catholic faith (and its vociferous opponents) better.
I'm here to serve you. That is what my vocation is about. Apologetics is (or should be) about helping people, not tearing others down. We have to refute error, but it's never for its own sake; it is in the service of the true and the good, and following Our Lord. It's ultimately a "positive" thing.
So please "vote" and let me know if you'd prefer me to stop posting funny, satirical pieces on the anti-Catholics or to continue doing so. I'm quite happy to abide by your wishes. I have no strong opinion, either way, myself. For a little background, I wrote in the combox of the previous post:
I already decided to stop trying to rationally argue with these folks. All I did was a short little humorous post. As we see, even that causes a huge storm of controversy, because these people have no sense of humor and they don't even grasp the humor when it is about them. So perhaps that doesn't work, either.I'm very curious, too, how this will come out. Whatever I decide, I want it to be a huge consensus; not 51% or something. If 49% of my readers are dead opposed to satirical pieces on anti-Catholics, then that is highly significant, and I ought to avoid offending them, even if they are in the minority.
I sure get a lot of comments, though, with these topics, don't I? If people were that much offended by "bickering," then why do they comment so much about it whenever the subject of anti-Catholicism comes up?
I think what I'll do is take a vote of my readers. The posts on anti-Catholics are very popular (comments-wise), yet there are also vociferous objections to them. So I'll be democratic about this (as I always like to be anyway). I'll ask my readers to express their opinion. If they don't like even the very brief humorous posts on anti-Catholics, then I won't do them, anymore, and I will ABSOLUTELY ignore anti-Catholics.
Let me hear from ya!
A "YES" vote means (roughly, substantially): "keep doing the funny anti-Catholic stuff occasionally. I'm not offended by them at all and find it humorous and entertaining (and educational). We all need a good laugh now and then. I want to be aware of what the bitterest enemies of the faith are writing about, and how wrong and absurd they so often are. Sometimes we need to laugh to keep from crying."
"NO" means (roughly, substantially): "I find these posts offensive and unedifying and I think you damage yourself and what you are trying to accomplish in your apostolate by continuing to do this. Ignore these people utterly. Turn the other cheek. Don't lower yourself even to humorous forays. Take a higher road. You've written enough about anti-Catholics -- you've done your 'apologetic duty' -- and in my opinion you shouldn't even do brief humorous posts about them anymore."
All you need to do is post "YES" or "NO" if you'd prefer not to comment. That's fine. I want as many votes as possible. You can do that, or if you'd like to put in your $00.02 while voting, I am very curious as to your opinions, and covet them. I've stated my opinion on why I have done these posts in lengthy explanations recently and need not do it again.
Thanks, and as always, I thank each and every one of you and I greatly appreciate your interest in my writing. I don't express this enough, but rest assured that it is how I feel, and I am deeply touched by your interest in my apostolate (even if you don't agree with me, or partially disagree). May God bless you!

Eighteenth-Century Epidemic "More to dread… than from the Sword of the Enemy"
For Immediate Release
August 9, 2011

Melissa Wood (703) 799-5203
"Today's visitors to Mount Vernon are likely to be more aware of General Washington's military setbacks and triumphs than of his masterful handling of such seemingly mundane details as transportation, providing food and supplies, and avoiding disease," said Mount Vernon curator Susan Schoelwer. "This letter provides compelling testimony to Washington's awareness of medical advances, his concern for his men, and his far-sighted leadership."
The letter is a brief but strongly-worded order from the commander-in-chief demanding that one of his regimental colonels gather all of his men and divide them into two distinct groups: those who had been inoculated for smallpox or had survived the disease were to be sent to join the main army at Morristown and those who were still susceptible were to be sent to Philadelphia to be inoculated without delay. Similar letters were sent to other colonels who commanded regiments.
Washington believed that the army would be weakened by this illness, so he inoculated new recruits to ensure fewer deaths and a quicker rate of recovery. This reduced the rate of deaths caused by smallpox from 17% to 1%. Washington's careful handling of the smallpox epidemic at the beginning of the war was a significant reason for the disease not decimating his army.
Having contracted smallpox in 1751 while in Barbados with his half-brother, Washington described smallpox as a greater threat "than…the Sword of the Enemy". It left the young Washington with some slight scarring on his cheeks and nose, but it also gave him immunity.
Washington arranged for his stepson John Parke Custis to be inoculated in 1771, Martha Washington was inoculated in 1776, and many additional family members followed suit. Washington was such a strong believer that he paid for the inoculation of Mount Vernon slaves.
Since 1860, more than 80 million visitors have made George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate & Gardens the most popular historic home in America. Through thought-provoking tours, entertaining events, and stimulating educational programs on the Estate and in classrooms across the nation, Mount Vernon strives to preserve George Washington's place in history as "First in War, First in Peace, and First in the Hearts of His Countrymen." Mount Vernon is owned and operated by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, America'soldest national preservation organization, founded in 1853. A picturesque drive to the southern end of the scenic George Washington Memorial Parkway, Mount Vernon is located just 16 miles from the nation's capital.
Hours of operation: April-August, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; March, September, October, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; November – February, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Regular admission rates: adults, $15.00; senior citizens, $14.00; children age 6-11, when accompanied by an adult, $7.00; and children under age 5, FREE. Admission fees, restaurant and retail proceeds, along with private donations, support the operation and restoration of Mount Vernon.

Mock Draft: McShay has Cardinals taking quarterback
That's the boat Arizona Cardinals fans are in. And considering the woeful play the team has gotten from the quarterback position during the skid, fans will be happy with what ESPN/Scouts, Inc. draft expert Todd McShay has Arizona doing in his very early 2013 mock draft.
McShay has the Cardinals tabbing West Virginia signal caller Geno Smith with the eighth overall selection.
There is still a lot of work to do on the top quarterbacks, but the question at this point is how high a team will reach for the top player a the position. It's easy to argue the Cardinals need a quarterback as badly as any team in the NFL right now, and when Smith is on, his mechanics, footwork and confidence make him an effective passer.
Smith got off to a tremendous start in 2012, throwing for 1,996 yards with 24 touchdown passes and zero interceptions during the Mountaineers' 5-0 start. West Virginia finished the season 7-5 and Smith ended up throwing 40 touchdowns and finished fifth in the nation in passing efficiency.
Smith stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 214 pounds -- decent size for an NFL signal caller. McShay currently has Smith ranked as the top quarterback in the 2013 draft crop and 23rd-ranked player overall.
The Cardinals last drafted a quarterback in the first round in 2006, when they nabbed USC's Matt Leinart with the tenth overall pick.

Prognosis After Prostatectomy
Although there is a lot of controversy regarding PSA screening, the typical recommended age for men without family history to get their first baseline PSA is 50 years old. Some advocate obtaining the first baseline PSA at around age 40-45 years old for those that have a strong family history of prostate cancer diagnosed at an early age.
A digital rectal examination is also recommended in conjunction with the PSA for prostate cancer screening. The combination of serum PSA level and digital rectal exam should be performed on a yearly basis along with one's routine physical examination.
Despite not having his PSA checked until age 61, your husband appears to have a localized cancer from the limited information that you have provided. According to the current AJCC (American Joint Committee on Cancer) staging system, clinical/ pathological stage T2c means involvement of both lobes of the prostate, but no invasion outside of the capsule).
The bottom line is that this is a curable cancer with the surgery that you described. Of course, there is no guarantee that the cancer will not come back in the surgical bed or in the bones, but with negative surgical margins, the chances are very good that there was no spread. The two potential confounding factors could be the high grade nature of the tumor and the original PSA level. If the tumor is truly high grade (i.e. Gleason score of 8 or 9), and the PSA prior to surgery was greater than 20, the chances are not as promising that the cancer is all gone. Ultimately, the best and only way to know whether the surgery cured the cancer once and for all is to follow the PSA regularly over time. As the prostate has been surgically removed, his PSA should be zero or undetectable forever. Any rise in the PSA, or failure of the PSA to drop to zero after surgery, indicates that there may be residual cancer. Treatment options at that time include hormonal therapy, radiation therapy, and/or chemotherapy.
Please consult our section on prostate cancer for more information.

Scores don't always reflect the game story.
Adair's 61-9 win over the Wildcats at Chouteau Friday did however.
In less than three minutes from kickoff, the Warriors, with plays from familiar faces, put up their first points on a 6-yard touchdown run from senior running back Zak Woolman.
Senior quarter back Brady Bradburys' pass found sophomore Hunter Rosebrough for two points.
Bradbury and Woolman put together a seven-play drive resulting in another Woolman touchdown run with 5:39 left.
After a quick Chouteau four and out, Adairs' Rosebrough ran untouched up the middle from 15-yards out, part of a scoring effort which took only three plays.
Chouteau's second quarter play was equally discouraging.
Woolmans' 29-yard, untouched touchdown run up the middle with 8:23 to play didn't help either.
Adair scored again from an 11-yard run by Bradbury at the 2:08 mark.
Warriors' sophomore Cody Yoder got in on the scoring onslaught on a 24-yard run with less than a minute left in the half.
Adair led 40-0 at the break.
Chouteau senior tight end Jacob Johnson kicked a 25-yard field goal early in the third.
Two possessions later, Adair's back's compiled enough yardage to set up a 2-yard touchdown run from Bradbury.
With three minutes left in the third, and a 47-3 score which showed no sign of evening, officials signaled a continuous clock run.
Woolman increased the margin with a minute left with a run from 35-yards out.
Junior running back Austin Hershberger gave the Wildcat's their only touchdown on the night with 3:38 in the fourth.
Adair senior runnin back Brynon White picked up 65 yards on the way to the end zone before the game was over.
Adair Head Coach Mark Lippe believes the win is as important as any thus far.

This Christmas tradition is shared by Jews and Christians.
About 10 Jewish volunteers served 190 meals for Christmas lunch at Urban Ministries of Durham on Wednesday. This is the eighth year of the tradition and part of a larger day of service.
Herbert Irving, 55, is staying at the shelter and enjoyed one of the meals, which included hot chicken, sliced potatoes, oranges and dessert.
I appreciate all the good things people are doing for me, he said. Others have nothing to eat, Irving said, and he felt blessed this Christmas to have food.
Were all people of different race, color, religion, Irving said. Its good that we can all mingle together to show some love.
The Jewish Federation of Durham-Chapel Hill organizes an annual Mitzvah Day on Christmas, and the handful of volunteers serving meals were part of a larger group of about 500 Jews working on 30 projects in Durham and Orange counties.
Abby Zarkin, the volunteer who organized the meal, said serving meals on Christmas lets her Christian neighbors take the day off.
We look forward to it every year, she said.
Serving meals is also a chance to see people in person. Zarkin said being part of somebodys day feels more meaningful than just giving an item or donation.
The Mitzvah Day ties into the Jewish concept of Tikkun Olam, a Hebrew phrase that means, to repair the world, Zarkin said. Doing a good deed, or mitzvah in Hebrew, helps fix the world piece by piece.
Community service is something we raise our children with, Zarkin said. We dont just talk about it, we do it.
Patrice Nelson, executive director of Urban Ministries of Durham, said the shelter is a 365-days-a-year, 24/7 operation, including holidays. The Jewish volunteers filled in for the staff, most of who were off spending time with their families.
It is so special to us that they come on Christmas, every Christmas to do this Mitzvah Day project, she said.
Urban Ministries of Durham partners with a number of groups, including different Christian denominations, Jews, Muslims and Bahais, as well as nondenominational groups and nonfaith-based groups, Nelson said. The center serves 6,000 people each year and helped 245 people move from the shelter to permanent housing last year, she said.
Nelson said 80 percent of the organizations funding comes from private donations.
With reduced food stamps, unemployment cutbacks, it is essential to us that we have the community support, she said.
Gregory Johnson, 45, lives in Durham and enjoyed one of the hot meals on Christmas. He said the volunteers and Urban Ministries of Durham are doing good things for people. Even on Christmas, he can count on them for a meal.
Theres always somebody going to be here, Johnson said. Without this place, there would be a lot of people that would go hungry.
Another Mitzvah Day group handed out blankets to those eating the meals. Kenneth Alexander, 55, of Durham chose a yellow and black one; the colors of his Pittsburgh Steelers.
Im quite sure its going to keep me warm, he said.
Rachel Zarkin, 23, joins in Mitzvah Day each year with her friend, Elena Korn, 22. The two have been friends for years, and for them, this is just how they always spend Christmas.
Its become my tradition, Zarkin said.
Korn said the day is holy for people in the community, so shes happy to volunteer so that others can spend time with their families.
Its no sweat off our backs to do a little mitzvah, Rachel Zarkin added.

Rod and Robert Blagojevich and four associates were indicted [JURIST report] on corruption charges in April 2009 by a federal grand jury. Rod Blagojevich was charged with numerous felonies including wire fraud, attempted extortion, racketeering conspiracy, extortion conspiracy and making false statements. The indictment alleged that the suspects systematically planned to use Blagojevich's office for their own gain, including conspiring to sell or trade the Senate seat left vacant by Obama, obtaining illegal campaign contributions, and threatening to withhold assistance to the Chicago Tribune with the sale of Wrigley Field unless two editorial writers who had been critical of Blagojevich were fired. In January 2009, the Illinois State Senate voted unanimously [JURIST report] to convict Blagojevich of abuse of power and remove him from office.
As a founding principle, the EU bans discrimination based on ethnic origin or nationality. This ban is part of the EU's DNA and its identity as a community of values, as defined by the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Now, with the Lisbon Treaty in force, it has the status of binding primary law. ... The recent treatment of Roma people in France was appalling and cannot go unchallenged. Their rights have been abused for populist, electoral reasons by a government that is fast losing support. ... Scenes like those we have recently witnessed in France must never be repeated.
Last month, French President Nicolas Sarkozy [official website, in French] ordered measures against illegal Roma communities in France and announced legislation [JURIST report] that would make deportation easier. At the time, the French government aimed to dismantle half of illegal Roma camps within three months and to immediately deport all those found to have broken the law. In February, following the alleged rape of a 14-year-old girl by East European immigrants, Italian authorities began dismantling illegal immigrant camps [JURIST report] around Rome that were heavily populated by members of the Roma minority.
Other EU member states have also struggled with the enforcement of ECJ rulings. Earlier this month, the UK High Court suspended the enforcement of an airline regulation [JURIST report] requiring airlines to compensate passengers for flights that are delayed for more than three hours, until the ECJ releases a new ruling on the issue. The ECJ issued its original ruling on the matter [JURIST report] in November, but UK airlines indicated that they believe the ECJ's 2009 ruling was incorrect [trade group report, PDF] and that they would not compensate passengers for delayed flights. The ECJ is not expected to review the case [Travel Weekly report] until 2012.
The Security Council request emphasizes the important goal of achieving and sustaining substantive results. A key consideration in this respect would be the need for sufficient political and financial commitment among States, in difficult economic times, not only to establish a new judicial mechanism, but also to sustain it. A new judicial mechanism to address piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia would be addressing a different situation to that addressed by the existing United Nations and United Nations-assisted tribunals. Such a mechanism would face ongoing criminal activity and potentially a large caseload, with no predictable completion date.
In June, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) [official website] announced the opening of a new high-security courtroom in Kenya [JURIST report] established to hear maritime piracy cases as well as cases involving other serious criminal offenses. The courtroom opened after the Kenyan government announced in April that it would no longer accept [JURIST report] Somali pirate cases due to its overburdened legal system and the lack of support that had been promised by the international community. The international community has been supporting actions taken against maritime piracy. The UNODC announced in May that Seychelles would create [JURIST report] a UN-supported center to prosecute suspected pirates. In April, the UN Security Council approved a resolution [JURIST report] calling on member states to criminalize piracy under their domestic laws and urging the Secretary-General to consider an international tribunal for prosecuting piracy.
A total of 12 men were convicted and sentenced [JURIST report] for their roles in Djindjic's assassination by the Belgrade Special Court in 2007. Milorad Ulemek, a paramilitary commander under Slobodan Milosevic [JURIST news archive] was sentenced to the maximum sentence of 40 years for his role in organizing the assassination. Zvezdan Jovanovic was also sentenced to 40 years for firing the shot that killed Djindjic, though Jovanovic claimed he was illegally forced to sign a confession in 2006 [JURIST report]. The other defendants received sentences ranging from eight to 35 years in prison.
The district court certified a sprawling nationwide class consisting of all current and former female employees of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., estimated at the time to comprise at least 1.5 million women. The Ninth Circuit's 6-5 en banc decision ... adopts standards that violate the rights of both defendants and absent class members and contradicts decisions of this Court and other circuits The Ninth Circuit created an acknowledged three-way circuit split on the standard for determining when claims for monetary relief can be certified as a class action. ... The majority expressly rejected both of the standards previously articulated in the circuits (one of which had been applied by the district court) and announced a new standard, thus exacerbating the long-standing conflict and confusion on this issue in the lower courts.
The case was filed in 2001 by female Wal-Mart employees [class website] who contend that Wal-Mart's nationwide policies result in lower pay for women than men in comparable positions and longer waits for management promotions than men. The Ninth Circuit granted an en banc rehearing [JURIST report] to Wal-Mart last year. According to the order, a majority of the Ninth Circuit judges, excluding the three judges who heard an earlier appeal [JURIST report] in which class certification was upheld, voted in favor of an en banc hearing. A three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit originally ruled against Wal-Mart's appeal of the class certification in February 2007, then issued a new opinion [text, PDF] in conjunction with its decision in December 2007. Wal-Mart appealed [JURIST report] to the Ninth Circuit in 2005, arguing that the six lead plaintiffs were not typical or common of the class. Wal-Mart also objected to the size of the class certified, which it said violates its due process rights. Wal-Mart argued that its stores operate independently and should be sued individually, while plaintiffs' lawyers countered that individual lawsuits would be impractical. The district court also rejected Wal-Mart's claim that the class size was "impractical on its face" and approved a statistical formula for paying damages if discrimination is proven.

A college student from New City, the son of the New City man who was the longtime accountant for Bernard Madoff, has died of an apparent suicide in Columbus, OH, according to police.
Clarkstown police said they were notified Thursday night of the death of Jeremy Friehling, 23, who was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot.
Friehling was the son of David G. Friehling of New City, a former accountant who worked for Bernard Madoff. Friehling pleaded guilty in Madoff's massive Ponzi scheme, a fraud that ran for years and had thousands of victims who lost billions of dollars — including many victims in Rockland County.
Friehling, charged in 2009, admitted in federal court that he produced the audits that allowed Madoff to hide his Ponzi scheme from the government for years.
In 2010, Mark Madoff, the son of jailed Bernard Madoff, commited suicide. He was found hanging in a Manhattan apartment.

A massive gene-hunting effort involving hundreds of scientists has identified 74 newly discovered regions of DNA that are associated with breast, ovarian and prostate cancers — diseases that strike about half a million Americans every year.
The international project, known as the Collaborative Oncological Gene-environment Study, or COGS, nearly doubled the number of genetic markers known to be linked with the three cancers, scientists reported Wednesday. Their findings could lead to more effective ways to screen, study and treat these diseases.

Two men charged with kidnapping, killing and burying a Richmond couple nearly two years ago pleaded not guilty Wednesday morning in Madison District Court.
Daniel Keene, 26, was arrested Monday night after he confessed to killing Charles "Chew" Walker and Sonsaray "Sonsi" Warford for money on June 28, 2010, according to court documents.
His alleged accomplice, Matthew Denholm, 27, also was arraigned in Madison District Court. He already was in custody after being charged with murder in the Nov. 21 shooting death of Zachary Flower.
Keene told police Denholm shot Warford in the back of the head, and stabbed Walker before cutting his throat, according to court documents. Warford was not intended to be a target but was killed because she was at the apartment with Walker when the two men allegedly kidnapped them. Walker and Warford had dated for several years.
Keene and Denholm face two counts each of murder, kidnapping and tampering with physical evidence. Denholm faces an additional charge of auto theft.
The case could be death-penalty eligible because two aggravating circumstances, an intentional murder of more than one person and a murder committed for money or profit, are present in the case. Under Kentucky law, the death penalty can be imposed after a murder conviction only if one of eight aggravating circumstances accompany the crime.
Walker and Warford's bodies were discovered Tuesday in a field off Tates Creek Road, according to court documents. Richmond Police Department Maj. Bob Mott confirmed the two bodies had been there for "quite some time," but declined to confirm the bodies' identities until autopsy results are obtained.
Keene is being held in the Madison County Detention Center under a $2 million bond. Denholm has a $1 million bond.
Mott said no additional arrests had been made in the case as of Wednesday afternoon, but the investigation continues. Ja'Kolbe Chenault is named in court documents as the man who paid Keene and Denholm to kill the couple. Chenault reportedly believed Walker had stolen money from him.
Mott declined to comment on whether Chenault would be charged in the killings.
Chenault is currently in federal custody facing drug trafficking conspiracy charges and was originally slated for an April trial in Lexington. However, a motion to continue was filed Wednesday stating new charges against Chenault were being brought April 5 to the federal grand jury.
Keene and Denholm are scheduled for a preliminary hearing Friday in district court.

The Daily Star
---- — Brewery Ommegang will hold two prominent events the week of Labor Day.
On Labor Day, Monday, Ommegang will hold the first tasting and sale of its new beer, Take the Black Stout.
Take the Black Stout is the second in a series of beers Ommegang has produced in collaboration with HBO for its show "Game of Thrones." The first of these beers was Iron Throne Blonde Ale, released in March.
According to Ommegang's website, Take the Black Stout is a 7-percent alcohol beer with licorice root and star anise spices. The site goes on to say that the beer's aromas include chocolate, coffee and earthy hops.
Ommegang's brewery in Cooperstown will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Labor Day. Visitors can taste Take the Black Stout during a launch event in Ommegang's outdoor tasting tent during this time. Tours, tastings and café service will be available as usual.
The "Game of Thrones"-inspired beers will be available as part of a prix fixe menu at the cafe. Diners will receive a Duvel Apero glass to take home. Bottles of Take the Black Stout will be sold with a limit of one case per customer.
The brewery will also host a concert by The Black Crowes on Thursday, beginning at 7 p.m. The London Souls will be the opening act.
Tickets are $45 for general admission and $60 for general admission and camping. Gates open at 5 p.m. The show is open to all ages, with a cash bar for concertgoers ages 21 and older. The concert will be the last of Brewery Ommegang's 2013 Summer Concert Series. It will also be one of the final shows of The Black Crowes before their 2014 hiatus.
Ommegang's winter hours of noon to 5 p.m. daily begin Tuesday. Ommegang will be closed Thursday in preparation for the concert.

Welcome to NAEOP!
Welcome Message from the NAEOP President
- 13 February 2013
- Angela Meyer
I'd like to extend warm greetings as we move forward into the 2013-2014 membership year. This coming year will be a stellar year as we discover the NAEOP Stars Coast to Coast – my Presidential theme! This association has many 'stars' among us and I'm so excited and I look forward to be able to travel coast to coast throughout the year to meet many NAEOP stars.
Our founder, Louise Henderson Nelson, is by far the best example of a NAEOP Star who traveled across the country spreading the word on behalf of educational office professionals everywhere. I can only hope I will be as successful as she was when NAEOP began over 79 years ago!
I am honored for the opportunity to serve all NAEOP members in the year ahead and welcome hearing from you - after all - this is YOUR association!

Woodbridge police say a cleaning personnel staff member was fingered after she tried to make off with a patron's pocketbook.
According to a police report, the pocketbook's owner "surprised" the cleaner -- Nancy Wetmore, 51, of Northford -- in the building's locker room at around 10:05 in the morning on August 13. She caught Wetmore putting the purse back in her (the victim's) locker, then running out of the room.
The victim told police about $200 was missing from her pocketbook. Wetmore was arrested and charged with 6th degree larceny.

UFC 153 numbers: gate, attendance and bonuses : MMAPayout.com: The Business of MMA
MMA Junkie reports that attendance at the HSBC Arena in Rio di Jineiro, Brazil garnered 16,844 fans for a gate estimated between $2.5-$2.6 million. In addition, Jon Fitch, Erick Silva, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Rony Jason earned bonuses for the night.
IMO the Diego Brandao fight and the Cristiano marcello fight were better than Fitch-Silva.
But we all know that the big names are the ones that get the bonuses.
I thought the Rony Jason/Sam Sicilia fight was gonna be in the running for FOTN. BOTH of those guys deserve a little extra $$$
No way Fabio vs Glover was fight of the night.
Glover literally destroyed Fabio for ten minutes.
Yes, fabio resisted all that brutal punishment and even managed to rock Glover. But it was just an epic beatdown. No way it was fight of the night.

but epsn said the UFC doesnt pay their fighters well.....(sarcasm)
but forreal, fitch did what he said he was going to do and try and put on a fight, BUT Silva couldnt stop a takedown if his life depended on it. You get a guy in there who can actually stop a take down or 2 and fitch is fucked.
AS vs. Bones let get this fight DONE!!
(^^^ I will only accept AS vs GSP if they cant get the silva vs jones fight done)

Yeah something is telling me DW was real happy with the performances last night and gave away a few extra bucks.
I like how the UFC is less likely to give out the awards to the more paid fighters... Gives the guys who really need the money a better chance....
Which is why I think Davis deserved the sub of the night over Nog... Or give it to both of them.

They should be compensated as well.
Great Card... All of the fights delivered.... Dana was probably happy and im sure he was loose with his checkbook.
