Weatherford Democrat
— By SALLY SEXTON
The diagnosis of cancer can have a huge impact on the patient, as well as the family.
In order to make the process a little easier, Cancer Care Services, which caters to cancer patients and their loved ones, provides a plethora of services for cancer patients — their main focus is helping financially, emotionally, spiritually and socially.
"When I was going through my bout with cancer, my insurance took care of things so I didn't need their services, but they were always sending someone by the hospital to make sure things were OK, that there wasn't anything that I needed," Gail Fowler said. "That's how I got involved talking with them."
Gail Fowler recently celebrated her 12th year of being cancer free.
The Weatherford resident and wife of Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler kicked off the commemoration with representatives of the Cancer Care Services organization, of which Fowler has an integral part of for the last year.
"For the Parker County area, we help out with more of the financial aspect," Alex Martin, director of special events and outreach, said. "We have a lot of impoverished clients in Parker County."
Those financial aids include helping with prescription co-pays, COBRA Health Insurance premiums, nutritional supplements and feeding tubes for head and neck cancer patients. Transportation is also a big focus, as well as medical supplies and equipment, including walkers or wheelchairs.
With its main location in Fort Worth, Cancer Care reaches out to residents through its partnership with the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, located off Santa Fe Drive.
"We have social workers that rotate between clinics and that are out in Weatherford once a week," Martin said. "We also have a home visit social worker and her job is to go do home visits with our Parker County clients."
When Cancer Care Services is contacted by someone not affiliated with one of the participating clinics, the organization arranges for the patient to speak with a social worker and schedule a meeting time. The social worker will either come to the home, or is able to meet in a more public setting.
"The social worker comes out and visits, assesses the situation and sees what needs to be fulfilled," Martin said.
While the patient is one of the top priorities, Cancer Care also focuses its attention on the families and loved ones, offering free counseling and programs for children. One of the more popular events for kids is Camp CARE, a free day camp that provides children ages 3-17 with a variety of activities, including art and music therapy.
"What I went through involves the caregiver as much as it does the patient," Fowler said. "[My husband] was just wonderful. He was there for me every minute and whatever I needed, he handled everything."
In addition to therapy and activities for families, Cancer Care also provides various massage therapies and reflexology, as well as transportation to various support groups.
Fowler was diagnosed with colon and liver cancer, with her doctor telling her the chances were slim to none.
"I'm very blessed and I know that God had a lot to do with it," she said. "I'm very high on Cancer Care Services or any organization involved with helping cancer patients."
It's the goal of Cancer Care Services, now in its 67th year as a non-profit operation, to be a partner with other cancer organizations as well.
"We don't consider ourselves as a competitor against any of the other organizations, we're really just a partner," Martin said. "When we go over budgets and services, we look at what other organizations are offering and try to provide something new because we don't want to duplicate those services."

Here are this week's most bizarre police calls, reports and charges. All information was provided by police reports from departments in Patch communities. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction.
He's pregnant? — A man entered Ann Taylor at SouthPark Mall on Oct. 16 to tell workers that he was pregnant — with triplets.
An employee quickly called security on the man. A report said he was wearing earrings and carrying a pink backpack and black purse.
Mall security asked the man to leave, then escorted him out.
Caught in the act — Employees at Portage Towers in Cuyahoga Falls figured a man had been doing something illegal in the apartment complex, but they didn't know it involved defecation.
The workers set up a hidden surveillance camera near the vending area, capturing him taking a bowel movement in the middle of the refreshment room. The Canton man was arrested by Cuyahoga Falls Police and charged with public indecency, a fourth-degree misdemeanor.
Rowdy lunch — A manager at Tip Top in Stow called police after a customer reacted angrily to a request to leave.
A man went to the restaurant around 1 p.m. on Oct. 21, but decided to treat a hostess rudely during lunch.
The manager said when he asked the man to leave, he knocked glasses and cups off the table. Before exiting, he knocked a table over, breaking dishes and nearly hitting another customer, according to the police report.
Police arrested the 30-year-old Tallmadge resident and charged him with criminal damaging, a second-degree misdemeanor, and disorderly conduct, a fourth-degree misdemeanor. The man was released on a $350 personal recognizance bond.
You're cut off — A Copley man who was visibly drunk Oct. 18 when he entered the Shell True North gas station in Bath Township insisted he needed more alcohol.
A clerk refused to sell alcohol to the man, causing him to yell profanities and pound his hands on the counter. The man left on foot after the argument. Police soon caught up with him on Route 18 near Interstate 77.
Police cited him with disorderly conduct and took him back to his home in Copley.

- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Beat the eggs in a bowl. Mix the flour, salt, pepper, and oregano in a 1 gallon resealable plastic bag. Dip each eggplant slice in the egg, then drop the eggplant in the flour mixture one at a time, shaking the bag to coat the eggplant.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Place the eggplant slices in the skillet to cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned. Drain the eggplant slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Arrange the eggplant in one layer on a baking sheet. Spoon enough pizza sauce to cover each eggplant slice. Top each eggplant with mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the mozzarella cheese is melted, 5 to 10 minutes.

I'm giving this 5 stars because my entire family liked it (kids are almost two and four and a half). Score! I didn't fry it first mostly because I needed my hands to do other things to get dinner ready in a hurry. I followed the direction exactly except after I floured them I also dipped them in panko. I put them on a greased cookie sheet and baked on 450 for about 20 mins. Once they can be pierced with a fork, I took them out and put tomato sauce, a generous amount of parmesan and then grated mozzarella and put them back in at 350 for about 5-10 minutes to melt cheese. Baking them made them plenty crispy and really delicious! My guess is too much oil could make them soggy if you weren't careful.
Really quite good. I took the recommendation of others and floured, egged then dipped these slices in italian breadcrumbs. After greasing a cookie sheet with olive oil, I cooked these for 20 mins at 450. Then topped with sauce, parm and mozz cheeses and a mix of mushrooms, onions, garlic, and red peppers. bake again for 8 minutes on 350. Like homemade tapas! Please make. So easy and came out crispy and perfect.
This recipe was great and fun! Here's what I did differently. 1). I coated the eggplant in eggs and breadcrumbs rather than flour and since they were seasoned it gave the pizzas a bit of flavor. When I fried them I used just enough oil to coat the pan and they dried them w/ a paper towel before baking 2). I added veggie italian sausage, mushrooms and onion and I stir-fried the veggies a bit first so they were tender. This recipe was even liked by my very picky 5-year old daughter (of course I just told her they were pizzas, but after she ate 2 I told her it was eggplant and she didn't believe me!).

There was the most amazing thing on television the other night. No, Survivors weren't eating live snakes and the gang of "Jersey Shore" didn't join a 12-step program.
Rather, Old Kris Kringle -- in civilian clothes – was sitting on the edge of the bed of a young Natalie Wood in the 1947 Christmas classic film "Miracle on 34thStreet" talking to the little girl who was tucked under the covers, ready for sleep.
Why was that amazing? Because what mother in her right mind would allow a near-stranger alone with her child in a bedroom? Scenes like that oh-so-innocent one have gone the way of the dodo bird, as nearly extinct as heroes who casually smoke in TV dramas and sitcoms.
But while we cheerfully say goodbye to glamorizing smoking on TV, there is a certain sadness that comes with the acknowledgment of hyper-vigilance that society shows when any adult outside a child's parents or grandparents takes an interest in a child.
Thank you, Jerry Sandusky.
The tragedies of the Penn State scandal, the clergy pedophilia scandals and those that affected organizations like the Boy Scouts continue to bear bitter fruit. If you can read the testimony of some of Sandusky's victims and not feel sick, you have ice water in your veins.
The victims deserve our understanding, the right to sue those who enabled and protected Sandusky, and our pledge that we will do what we can to see it doesn't happen to the next kid.
But along the way I will mourn another casualty – the loss of trust. That goes for the priest and the Scout leader who must guard against ever being alone with a child, and the coach who is afraid to touch his injured player for fear his concern might be misinterpreted.
It might seem like a small price to pay if society can keep more children safe from predators, but it's still a cost worth acknowledging.
How many mentor-student relationships never have a chance to bloom because parents suspect all adults' motives and would-be mentors just don't want the hassle?
If "Miracle on 34th Street" was filmed today, Maureen O'Hara would have been running a criminal background check on the Jolly Old Elf before he'd have stepped one foot inside her apartment.
It might well be necessary but it's still a shame.

The Annual Temple B'nai Abraham (TBA) Midnight Run, the distribution of donated clothing and food to those in need at the Apostles' House in Newark, took place the Saturday night of Thanksgiving holiday weekend. This annual event, sponsored by TBA Makom (High School) and the Livingston Chapters of B'nai Brith Girls (BBG) and Aleph Zadik Aleph (AZA), is preceded by a month–long food and clothing drive/collection at the temple.
Six Episcopal Churches in and around Newark, founded the Apostles' House in 1984. A multipurpose social service agency, it provides a comprehensive array of programs and services including Emergency Shelter for women and children, Transitional Housing, and Family Preservation Services.
On the evening of the Midnight Run at TBA, the students packaged and sorted the abundant amount of food, clothing and blankets which were generously donated by TBA members. Then under the supervision of Director of Youth Programming Claudia Minde, Rabbi Kulwin, (who drove the 26-foot truck packed to the gills with the donated items) and parent volunteers, the students were transported to Newark where the much-needed items were distributed. The Grant Street Newark location was crowded with well over 300 people who came out for food, clothes, coats, blankets, etc...this was triple the amount from last year and a sign of the times and the growing need in the community.
After the distribution, Rabbi Kulwin led the TBA students, parents and staff in making Havdallah at the old Temple B'nai Abraham Clinton Avenue building in Newark. He spoke about what they had just done, which was something useful and important. But also just the tiny tip of the enormous iceberg of urban poverty and homelessness that exists today. The point? If we are serious about doing good, it has to be on an ongoing basis.

Night flatters the Sunset Strip. At sunrise, dead cockroaches line the sidewalk outside the famed Whisky a Go Go. Bus exhaust fills the air. The sound of crunching metal echoes off the buildings as deliverymen roll up the back panels of their trucks, making their morning drops.
Filmmaker Adam Shankman is posing for a photographer on the corner of San Vicente and Sunset at 10 a.m., trying to give his best rock 'n' roll face, though he readily admits his edge is as sharp as a butter knife. "Yeah, I'm so rock 'n' roll," says the man behind populist movies including "Hairspray" and "The Pacifier" but who's perhaps best known as a judge and choreographer on Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance." "I'm a little Jew from Brentwood."

When you need some fast cash, you can always count on oil money. Qatar's sovereign wealth fund is reportedly considering backing a share issue by Barclays. You'll recall that earlier this week Britain's No. 3 bank said it would sell billions of pounds worth of shares to bolster its stretched balance sheet. The Financial Times quotes a person close to the Qatar Investment Authority as saying "We're looking at it." The QIA manages about $60 billion in assets and earlier this year bought under 2 percent of Credit Suisse. Qatar, which is the richest Arab country on a per capita basis thanks partly to high oil prices, is looking to spend between $10 billion and $15 billion over the next two years on bank stakes, Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani told Reuters in February.
Of course, it's not just the oil-rich out there poking around those struggling banks. Activist shareholder Olivant said on Wednesday it had raised its stake in Swiss bank UBS, which has been hit by massive losses on risky investments, to 2.5 percent. Olivant, headed by former UBS Chief Executive Luqman Arnold, said by taking a stake worth about $1.8 billion it was "demonstrating its belief in the potential restoration of shareholder value achievable through decisive action on the part of the UBS board". Interpretation: We want change. How about splitting up the bank?
If banks aren't your thing, there's always Hollywood. Movie studio DreamWorks SKG is close to a deal with India's Reliance ADA Group to form a new movie venture, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the talks. The Journal said a deal with Reliance would give movie director Steven Spielberg the cash to finance his DreamWorks team's departure from Viacom Inc's Paramount Pictures later this year.
And one from the Ho-Hum, Glad-its-Done Department: Office goods supplier Staples has won approval from the European Commission for its 1.7 billion euro ($2.64 billion) takeover bid for Dutch peer Corporate Express. Staples raised its all-cash offer to 9.25 euros per share from 9.15 euros last week, winning the backing of Corporate Express which also ditched its own deal to buy French privately owned competitor Lyreco.
More Deals of the Day:
** French drugmaker Sanofi-Aventis plans to make a 40.04 billion Czech crown ($2.57 billion) offer for Czech drugmaker Zentiva, trumping a bid from financial group PPF.

I skip ahead when there are multiple story lines and the author switches from one to the other at a critical moment. Then I flip the pages to find where the storyline is picked up and see what happened next.
I must admit that for just about every book I read I do read the last couple of pages first. My Kindle has kept me from doing that--go figure. But I hate being spoiled in my reality shows.
The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are--Joseph Campbell
It depends on how interesting the book is. If the book manages to draw me in right from the beginning, than I keep reading straight through. If it starts out a little meh, I'll skip ahead to see if it gets better and is worth continuing to read.
Or, if there are multiple storylines going on, I'll skip ahead and read about just the ones that interested me. I find when there is more than one main character, the story for at least one of them tends to be a little dull.
I NEVER do. Not because I feel it's wrong or anything, but it just doesn't occur to me. I like the process of reading and uncovering the story!
Only once, ever, when I was reading "My Sister's Keeper"
I don't like being spoiled with books/stories/movies... I do however read all spoilers for TV shows and skating events.
I've never read the end before I got there. But I find lately I'm much more prone to giving up part way through if I'm bored or irritated. When I was young I plowed through to the bitter end. Reread books all the time, even sometimes going back to children's books. If they improve my mood, or take me away from cares or worries, why not?
Only if a book starts to go badly. Then, I skip to the end to see if it's worth slogging through the middle. Thankfully, this hardly ever happens to me.
Since I re read all my books several time (mainly because there's the new book coming out and I need to re read the 12 volumes before), I sometimes jump to the end to see how it's ending
poths Void: MarieM carries a rusty old blade in her handbag!
I ALWAYS skip to the end! Well my method is, I read the beginning, then read the end, then read the middle in random pieces. It's rather Memento-like. I like the mental exercise of piecing everything together.
Discovering Catch-22 in middle school was fantastic, because the book did the jumping for me, while my classmates were absolutely dumbfounded.
Japanfan : Wheel of time is one of them, but I usually reread all the series before I read the new one. I just finished the book just released. I wish we wouldn't have to wait at least one year for the last book of the series !!!!!!!!!!!!
You do have to remind yourself of the story anyway, so re reading all of the book is one way of doing so
And I am still WAITING for the Game of Thrones latest books. He is way too occupied with the show and I am getting MAD at him !
poths Void: MarieM carries a rusty old blade in her handbag!
As for the original question, sometimes I peek ahead at the very end to see how things come out, especially if I fear the worst for some character I'm fond of, but if I'm seriously reading a book, I read the whole thing. I will, however, give up on a book fairly quickly if it isn't pulling me in, keeping my interest, etc.
I only read ahead if the book is boring. Inkheart was a difficult book to read in English (translated from German), so I read part of the last chapter just before giving up on the novel entirely. Glad I did - I ended up struggling through that book and the sequels were much better. Love the story itself.
I haven't read the entire thread, just the last two posts. Sorry. What's the subject again?
I almost always read the ending of a book or skip around. I get bored reading books because there are rarely any new concepts for a book.
Who-done-it: someone killed, 3-7 potential killers, 1-10 investigators, 2-10 potential next victims, plot line focused on why someone would kill the person. Discover the motive and murderer at the end of the story.
Romance: young innocent woman caught in the confines of what society deems appropriate, and one who has intelligence/skills to do a "man's job" not wanting to be rescued but in the end finds her true love. Insert villian who is trying to come between princess and her prince
etc. So I will fast forward to the end to see if I like the ending and if so, then I will put the effort into reading. Rare exception: J.D. Robb series of "Death by...." Or Nora Epfron books
Would it be different if I re-read the whole series consecutively?
I'm waiting on that one too - am wondering in fact if Martin will ever finish it. IIRC he said he was depressed and begged his audience's understanding.And I am still WAITING for the Game of Thrones latest books. He is way too occupied with the show and I am getting MAD at him !
That one I'll happily re-read in entirety, should it ever be finished.
He's depressed. OH COME ON.
The guy has spent ALL LAST YEAR and all this year preparing the Game Of Thrones TV Show. And the books ? No of course he had no time to do so ....
I am so mad at him !!!!!!!!!!!
As for WHEEL OF TIME, I kind of disagree. He maybe lost control of the pace of his telling of the story, wasting too much times on Rand, Elayne and the Aes Sedai in a big way, but it all kinds of fall into pieces with the last Sanderson books.
Is there any other cycle you can think of I should read ? I already have all the Eddings, McCaffrey, Zimmer Bradley, Hobbs, Herbert, Assimov, Tolkien, Silverberg, Van voigt etc.
poths Void: MarieM carries a rusty old blade in her handbag!
I also enjoy Melanie Rawn's two dragon trilogies: Dragon Prince, The Star Scroll, Sunrunner's Fire and Stronghold, The Dragon Token, and Skybowl. And Rawn has written two of another trilogy, Exiles, and I've been waiting at least five years for that. . .
And have you read Stephen Donaldson's Thomas Covenant Series? It's one of the best I've ever read, there are two trilogies (The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant and The Second Chronicles of Thomas Convent) and a final four-set work (The Last Chronicles) is in progress, two have been published. These series are so good that they merit a reread once every few years.
Also, I'd recommend the books of Juliet Marrilier if you like fantasy/historical fiction. Her books are all set around roughly around the time of Christ's birth in the UK. She has a rare gift as a storyteller and her books are just amazing reads.
Yay!The Wheel of Time series discussion.And it's really fun to reread them along with Leigh Butler's reread blog. I did some major skipping around to follow story threads- especially Matt's- the first time I read the books. I liked the series the first time I read it, but I loved it the second time.

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is the presence of abnormal cells inside a milk duct in the breast. DCIS is considered the earliest form of breast cancer. DCIS is noninvasive, meaning it hasn't spread out of the milk duct to invade other parts of the breast.
DCIS is usually found during a mammogram done as part of breast cancer screening. Because of increased screening with mammograms, the rate at which DCIS is diagnosed has increased dramatically in recent years.
While DCIS isn't life-threatening, it does require treatment to prevent the condition from becoming invasive. Most women with DCIS are effectively treated with breast-conserving surgery and radiation.

The Republican Party's forum for 6th Circuit solicitor was quite eye-opening. Randy Newman made a convincing case for why we should elect him our next solicitor. He has a good handle on the issues facing the circuit, knows what needs to be done to address the issues and brings an innovative approach to the office.
Mr. Newman shows commitment and energy for the job and very honestly stated why he should be elected.
My name is Joe Catalano. I have lived in Lancaster most of my life. I proudly served Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile as a deputy and an investigator. I now attend University of South Carolina Law School. I am writing this letter o express my support for my friend, Tom Holland, as the next 6th Circuit solicitor.
In the gospel, John 4 describes Jesus' encounter with the Samaritans. Jesus chose to go through Samaria on his way to Galilee, even though many religious people avoided the area entirely.
After walking all day, he stopped by a well outside a town called Sychar, and sent his disciples into the city to buy food. When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus asked her for a drink. She was surprised, since Jews and Samaritans normally never shared common drinking vessels.
This is in response to Phil Nobel's guest column, "Will June Primary in S.C. be honest?," in the May 16 edition of The Lancaster News.
This issue, along with global warming and the war on women are the biggest scams spouted by Democrats. Think about this, 99.9 percent of United States citizens already have picture ID's. Noble said Republicans push this issue to prevent poor black people, along with students from voting.
Please consider the negative impact that the proposed development by Mattamy Homes will have on Lancaster County School District and prevent the rezoning of the TreeTops property on Van Wyck Road in Lancaster County.
There is enough interest in keeping this property as a camp for underprivileged children, which is the original plan and best use to avoid overcrowding in the school district.
Thanks for your favorable consideration to keep TreeTops as a camp for children and deny the rezoning plan for new homes.
Alfred Brand,
A few weeks ago, I got a mailer from Team Graham, wanting to help me file an absentee ballot. The form asked for all kinds of personal info, including my voter registration number. My first thought was that information is none of your business, just like my vote.
I have voted absentee for many years. I simply call the Lancaster County Election Commission at (803) 285-2969, and those folks will send you the application. Just as they did recently. As an informed voter, I know how to do this.
This a response to Nick Pasquine's response, "Do Democrats have same response for all issues?," in the April 17 edition of The Lancaster News.
His letter was a response to a letter written by me, Michael Jedson, "Remove tea party burden from Americans." in the April 6 edition of The Lancaster News.
Democrats don't waiver in their support of middle and low income Americans and immigrants. Republicans seem to care about the upper 1 percent and the tea partiers only care about themselves.
Reading Phil Nobel's guest column, "Will June Primary in S.C. be honest?," in the May 16 edition of The Lancaster News reminds me why I no longer vote for any Democrat.
It is nothing but a column full of spins and cover ups to suit his voter-fraud-is-good agenda.
First, he gives a history of voting a couple of hundred years ago which was patterned after those in Europe where the Founding Fathers came from.
We evolved from property ownership to literacy requirements to vote. Guess that did not work too good for Democrats.

TEAMS: Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs
Via Larry Brown Sports:
The San Antonio Spurs destroyed the Miami Heat in Game 3 to take a 2-1 lead on Tuesday night. After splitting the first two games of the series in Miami, Tim Duncan and company gained the upper hand with a 113-77 victory. As you would expect, Spurs fans were loving it.
The series is far from over, but a collection of fans were so excited that they decided to party in the streets as though their team had just won the whole damn thing. We're talking car horns beeping and kids in diapers on top of a pickup truck.

With the way some of these Spurs fans were acting, you'd swear the team didn't have two wins to go.

That being said, they had every right to be thrilled with the way some of their role players performed. If San Antonio can get contributions from guys like Danny Green and Gary Neal going forward, it will be incredibly difficult to beat. However, we know LeBron James isn't going to lay down quietly. The Heat have been here many times before and still managed to come out on top. Game 4 will be a must-win for Miami.

Case Details
The navigation select boxes below will direct you to the selected page when you hit enter.
In this California case, PCRM, a nonprofit health-advocacy organization, filed suit for injunctive relief against Tyson alleging that the company made false and deceptive representations about chicken products that it sold to consumers in California. The complaint alleges that Tyson engaged in two advertising campaigns, which disseminated false and deceptive statements about its products in violation of Business and Professions Code section 17500. The group claims that Tyson made �the false and misleading impression� that chicken �is a health food that can protect against the risk of developing heart disease� and that it is �all natural.� Tyson filed a motion to strike under California�s anti-SLAPP (strategic lawsuits against public participation) statute. The Superior Court of San Francisco County granted the motion. On appeal, the Court of Appeal held that the amendment to the anti-SLAPP statute, which was enacted while the appeal was pending did not apply to actions against sellers of goods as to the representations about or promotions of those goods. Further, by holding that Tyson was not entitled to invoke the anti-SLAPP remedy, the court stated that it did not compromise or prejudice Tyson�s right to raise First Amendment issues in defense of PCRM's suit. The Superior Court�s grant of Tyson�s motion to strike was reversed.
A. Application of Senate Bill No. 515
The appeal presents the initial, and dispositive, issue of whether reversal is required by the enactment during the pendency of the appeal of Senate Bill No. 515 (2003-2004 Reg. Sess.), codified as Code of Civil Procedure section 425.17. The statute was intended to curb abuse of the anti-SLAPP statute (the anti-SLAPP statute). It was signed into law on September 6, 2003, shortly after filing of the notice of appeal, and became effective on January 1, 2004. FN1
FN1. We grant PCRM's request for judicial notice filed November 14, 2003.
B. Constitutionality
Lastly, Tyson argues that Code of Civil Procedure section 425.17, subdivision (c), did not effect a partial repeal of the anti-SLAPP statute because it is a constitutionally invalid attempt �to regulate speech concerning �important public issue[s].� � It predicates this contention on the language of subdivision (c) that exempts defined statements for the marketing of goods from Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16, �notwithstanding that the ... statement concerns an important public issue.� (Code Civ. Proc., § 425.17, subd. (c).)
FN2. In view of our reversal, we find no need to address the other interesting issues raised in this appeal.

For a young woman who's dressed like an alien empress, Lady Gaga is acting strangely human. She's curled up with her ex-model boyfriend, Speedy, on a tour-van seat, looking as cozy as anyone in a sparkly, curve-clutching cat suit with spiked, winglike shoulders could possibly get. "He thinks I'm pretty," Gaga purrs, batting huge false eyelashes as she rests her platinum-blond head on Speedy's shoulder, nearly poking his eye out with a shoulder spike.
Photos: Lady Gaga's Fashion Icons
As the van cruises along California's 405 freeway, heading from an Irvine amphitheater to a Burbank soundstage, fireworks bloom in the distant sky over Disneyland. Gaga, who's been munching handfuls of kettle corn and sipping from a can of Diet Coke, turns pensive. "What am I doing right now?" she asks, sounding sleepy and uncharacteristically vulnerable. "Who am I?"
With theatrical timing, an interloper chirps an answer from the back seat: "You're the new princess of pop!"
The voice belongs to the gossip blogger Perez Hilton, an early and fervent Gaga supporter. He's been hanging around all day in his leopard-print Adidas T-shirt, offering compliments and toothy smiles. Gaga laughs, shocked at the near-scripted perfection of the moment. "You are," Hilton drawls, flashing the teeth.
Video: Lady Gaga Pays Surprise Visit to Manhattan Club
Less than an hour ago, in front of 15,000 shrieking teens at the radio concert Wango Tango, Gaga sang a set that included both "Just Dance" and "Poker Face" — the synthed-up, Eighties-flavored dance-pop hits that, along with her art-damaged, Euro-futuristic fashion sense, have made her the defining pop star of 2009: She reigns over a self-created, plasticized aesthetic universe with Madonna-esque assurance — and offsets her oddness with shamelessly ingratiating pop hooks. With its refrain of "Just dance/Gonna be OK" (the narrator is so wasted at the club that she's lost her keys and phone), Gaga's first hit could be heard as a keep-on-pushing anthem or an endorsement of total denial — either way, perfect recession fodder. "Poker Face," in its way, has more layers — it's about Gaga wanting to sleep with a woman while she's dating a guy (hence the line "I'm bluffin' with my muffin"). The two hits have led to a platinum album — an increasingly rare feat — and nearly 10 million digital singles sold, per Nielsen SoundScan.
Photos: Lady Gaga's Best Looks
A few days earlier, the 23-year-old singer played a concert in New York that felt like a coronation: Madonna (with daughter Lourdes in tow) and Cyndi Lauper both turned up. And on tonight's new episode of Saturday Night Live, Justin Timberlake gives his own endorsement, singing loving, dead-on parody versions of both singles. (A week later, Rivers Cuomo will sing part of "Poker Face" at a Weezer show.)
In the face of tween pop's relentless cuteness assault, Gaga — who worships Andy Warhol and Grace Jones, and thanks David Bowie and Madonna for inspiration in her liner notes — is a pop star for misfits and outcasts. She would rather look interesting than pretty. "I don't feel that I look like the other perfect little pop singers," says Gaga, who has a still-unreleased song called "Ugly Sexy." "I think I look new. I think I'm changing what people think is sexy."
Photos: How Lady Gaga, Bono and More Rockers Moonlight
In the van, Gaga laughs as she watches for the first time a video for "Butterface," a vicious "Poker Face" parody (sample lyric: "You were thinking that I'm a 10/But my body's like a Barbie/And my face is like a Ken"). In truth, Gaga's attractive, slightly off-kilter features — ethnic nose, prominent front teeth — seem almost infinitely mutable: One day she looks like Debbie Harry, the next, Donatella Versace. But up close, she's always softer, prettier and younger-looking than her ultrastylized photos might suggest.

Behind the Cloud Redux
Cloud computing is the hot buzz phrase. But as both Shawn Powers and I have pointed out, cloud computing is not a new technology, or even a new implementation of new technology. But that does not mean it is well understood, either by those who are designing or those who are crying out for it as they follow the yellow-brick road (or the latest issue of PC Week). As several Anonymous (and not so anonymous) commentators have said, there is a lot more to cloud computing then just hardware, some good data links and some smart coding.
Because cloud computing means different things to different people (and at different times of the day), we need to be clear about our terms. Our friends at Wikipedia define cloud computing as:
Cloud computing is Internet-based computing, whereby shared servers provide resources, software, and data to computers and other devices on demand...
This definition works well enough for me, so let us investigate it a little deeper. By definition, anything that is Internet-based tends not to have a physical or geographic location associated with it. For example, when I go to the Linux Journal web page, I am not thinking about Houston, Texas, where the magazine is officially located. In fact, because so few of us actually live in Houston, I think of the Linux Journal page as not really being anywhere. This is further emphasized by the vast array of comments from around the world to our musings.
Similarly, when you do a Google search, a good example of cloud computing, you are more likely to be hitting a server cluster located in a data-center more local to your physical (IP based) location than you are to be hitting their servers in California (and I am assuming they have servers in a data center in California). In both of these examples, the data we are talking about - search returns and generic web pages - are pretty innocuous. It really does not matter where the servers are located, and there are not any great crushing legal issues related to them.
But when, for example, the Federal government (we will use the US one since that is where I am, but any federal government has the same set of issues) or more importantly, your company, decides it is going to embark on cloud computing, then we as IT professionals need to not only be part of the process, but we need to be asking the tough questions at the beginning, not the day before the switch is thrown.
In cloud computing, location matters. And so does ownership. Lawyers need to be involved. And a lot of careful planning. Here are some things to consider: Who owns the cloud you are going to utilize? Are you contracting with a third party for storage or are you building it from scratch. If local law enforcement show up with a writ demanding the data be turned over, who is responsible for turning over that data? When? Under the laws of what state (or country)? Who owns the data paths? Is there traffic shaping? How will it affect all the nodes in the cloud? If you work for an International company, is response in say Singapore going to be the same as response in Virginia or the United Kingdom? Is it supposed to be? Who is responsible for ensuring it is. Can data be uploaded (or downloaded) the same in different countries? (If you think the answer is yes, you need to really look at your data and be sure. There is a lot of stuff that cannot be exported.) Is your data sharing disk with someone else's data? Is there a chance that someone else can get to your data with (or without) your knowledge and what is the exposure of your data if this happens? And then there are the usual sort of service level agreement questions about access, up-time, backup and recovery, passwords, password recovery, management statistics and the other day-to-day minutia that you need to keep the system running.
Behind the cloud it is still just computers - not the Great and All Powerful Oz - (and data, data connections and us IT professionals), but there is certainly a lot more that needs to be considered before connecting to it.

The diffusion of responsibilty.......
Interesting article. I note with that NIST has even had to define the "cloud", and that so far, they are on revision 15. See http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/SNS/cloud-computing/ I suspect that along with a nebulous definition, come equally nebulous responsibilities. Who gets sued / fired when data leaks out to where it shouldn't ? Or whatever disaster befalls a cloud provider. The opportunities for finger pointing when it all goes wrong increase dramatically, along with the layers of complexity and management.
Everything should be as simple as possible, but no simpler.
I sincerely hope that a major cloud provider, or a government department leaks sensitive data so that we can all really figure out that this emperor really has no clothes......
Hello, I love reading through
Hello, I love reading through your coaster blog! I wanted to leave a little comment to support you. Wishing you the best of luck for great blog..!Walk Fit Platinum
Thanks David Lane.
It was worth reading.
A very nice article to put up.
Great post, i really enjoyed
Great post, i really enjoyed this article. It has kind of brought to bare the serious questions one needs to answer before going out there to talk about cloud computing. Before this post, i really thought, since we normally represent the internet by the cloud, all activities that involves the use of the internet somehow amounted to cloud computing but i now know that there is more to that. Thanks very much for this great piece.
Cloud computing...
Gmail for example offers you quite a bit of the cloud (server somewhere in the world) space, so you can store what you want absolutely free, as far as Google won't go bankrupt...Gmail offers the same privacy conditions, so why not use gmail as the cloud server. You can store anything of practically any size in it. You don't have to send the email, you can simply keep your data as drafts, well-organized drafts, and also you can send a email to your "other" gmail account, which would keep the data very well organized, if you plan it well.
So, why pay money to any Internet storing company, for space. This space available in Gmail, Yahoo mail, etc...look at the marker, the gmail free space is growing every second!
Behind the Cloud Redux
I'm really enjoying your posts. This is quite convincing stuff. Great explanation.Its nice to see step by step to understand it. Really appreciate this post. Thanks for sharing and putting the article together. Also, thanks for introducing cloud computing.
A new manner of doing old things
Believe me I don't think about cloud as a total marketing global campaign to make a lot of money, using old techs in a brand new golden pack.
There are some new things inside the pack, indeed.
But, it looks like fax machine. Nothing new, in terms of tech(a phone, a thermal print, a modem, etc.) The great steps was to but it all together. And... It made a revolution in the communications.
Happy 2011 - Cheers
True, however this repackaging allows me to work 3 months out of the year from overseas. So nice repackaging making a huge impact on businesses.
I once walked into a data
I once walked into a data center and found a floating disembodied green head calling itself Oz, wait I might have been dreaming!
Anyway, great article if only it could be published in the major newspapers to enlighten the masses.
A number of compelling
A number of compelling reasons why not to walk around with your head in the clouds.
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.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

"The Best" Tina Turner & Simmy Barnes - Cast
I like the Canadian version better than the US version (I went to the Chicago stop, felt it was my duty to cheer up Mr. Lysacek). The atmosphere in Toronto was cozy and more relaxed. Certainly the audience knew Kurt very well and they were well connected to him. Besides, the kite was obeying Mr. Pelletier nicely for their "Party" number. Todd Eldridge had some troubles with the kite in Chicago. Perhaps they decided to use a smaller one in Canada?
I appreciate Kurt's program more now since I have seen them two times. Needed some exposure to understand them. In Toronto, Mr. G. Tyler came out on his skates and gave a live performance for Kurt. His real voice was as smooth as the recorded version. About others: I got impressed by Jeffrey's "Enigma" a lot, the only classic music piece from the entire show. Its choreography was full of intrigue and freedom. Shawn came out with a small suitcase for his second number and used it as a .... (I will not spoil it!). Joannie was full of energy and looked very healthy. Maybe she can come back to competitions anytime she wants?
In case someone's interested: jump points. If I remember correctly, Joannnie, Evan, and Shawn did clean ones. I believe the rumor Evan is practicing 4T. Sasha didn't fall, but she didn't try many, either. Kyoko fell once on 3T, but I'm glad that she did try it after all. Kurt and Jeff had some small problems here and there.

PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif. (seminoles.com) - Florida State lost to Kent State in a single hole playoff and did not advance to match play at the Division I Men's Golf Championship at the Riviera Club. The Golden Flashes advanced with a 2 over par score against Florida State's 3 over par score on the first sudden victory playoff hole. The two teams entered the playoff after finishing in a tie for eighth place in the team standings during three rounds of stroke play that concluded Thursday night. The Golden Flashes, as the eighth seed, will now face top seeded Alabama in the quarterfinals of match play with the national team champion being decided on Sunday.
Kent State carded four bogeys and one birdie (+2 minus the drop score) while Florida State totaled two double bogeys, one bogey and to holes at par (+3 minus the drop score).
"While we did not make some key putts this morning that does not take away from the season we had as a team," said head coach Trey Jones. "We came here to win and competed in a manner that made that possible through three rounds. This team did everything I asked and got better each week of the season."
Florida State earned an eighth place national finish - the second time in the last three seasons the Seminoles have finished in the top eight. The Seminoles finished in third place during the 2010 National Championship finals.
"All teams are unique and have their own identity," said Jones. "This is a team that has not played a bad round since our tournament in March. The reason for this is they are great competitors and bounce back from that you are destined to have in golf. "
Florida State's eighth place finish in the National Championship finals marked the eighth time in school history - and second time under had coach Trey Jones - that the Seminoles had finished in the top eight in the national championship tournament. The Seminoles finished only 16 strokes behind first place Alabama and only 10 strokes behind second place UCLA in the final standings. The Seminoles entered the championship ranked No. 19 in the nation by GolfStat and finished as one of only two teams ranked outside of the top 10 to finish in the top right of the final standings.
"Our returning players now know what it is like to compete on this level," said Jones. "We have some very big shoes to fill and it will be their responsibility to do that."

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Brunello di Montalcino Annata is quite pretty in this vintage. It displays a classic profile of underbrush, tobacco, smoke, licorice and black cherries. The tannins are firm but nicely balanced. I expect the 2008 will drink well with minimum cellaring. It is one of the more open Brunellos..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino is lush, sweet and inviting. Today the 2007 doesn't quite have the sheer visceral thrill and excitement of the 2006, but it more than makes up for that with its early approachability. Dark red berries, spices and crushed flowers are layered into the finish. There..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a beautiful wine. Powerful, taut and austere, the 2006 shows all of the qualities that make traditional Brunello compelling. Black cherries, incense, tobacco and grilled herbs wrap around the intense finish ..." (Antonio Galloni)
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This offers fresh herbs and berries on the nose, with hints of coffee and vanilla. Full-bodied, soft and fruity, with a green olive undertone and lots of new wood. Builds on the palate. Tannic. Merlot."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The gorgeous 2004 Ornellaia is a great way to start this tasting. A lively dark ruby, it is a vibrant effort bursting with expressive aromatics and layered, well-delineated fruit, showing much purity on the palate and closing with a long, finessed finish. Readers hoping to catch this wine's full..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2001 Ornellaia (magnum) offers up violets, black cherries, minerals and earthiness in a big, structured style. The wine's sheer intensity and thrust are nothing short of remarkable. Ideally, readers will give the 2001 another few years in bottle; as it is truly majestic stuff but will..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2000 Messorio shows off wonderful inner perfume in its ripe, dark cherries, grilled herbs, leather, licorice and espresso. The 2000 is just a touch more forward in its aromas and flavors than in its tannins, as it remains powerful, intense and tightly coiled. It is a big, fruit-driven wine in..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (RP): 94
"The 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is a beautiful wine. Powerful, taut and austere, the 2006 shows all of the qualities that make traditional Brunello compelling. Black cherries, incense, tobacco and grilled herbs wrap around the intense finish ..."..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2001 Messorio is virtually impossible to fully appreciate in this setting because it is so many years away from maturity. The fruit is breathtaking in its beauty but remains quite primary, with only the subtlest hints of early tertiary nuance coming through from time to time. The finish is..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Wonderful aromas of freshly sliced coastal rosemary and currants follow through to a full body, with integrated tannins and a fine finish. This shows so much finesse and beauty. But there is a solid backbone of tannins and length. Reminds me of some of the underrated Sass of the 1980s such as..

iPad mini unboxing and hardware hands-on
The iPad mini is here and we've got your perfunctory unboxing and hardware hands-on. It's everything you know and love about the iPad only concentrated into a smaller, 7.9-inch shell... and without a Retina display. How does that look in the real-world? Watch!
There are 3 comments. Add yours.
will get mine very soon
It looks nice.
Rene, I have a question, I saw the video and it seemed to me you had to open your hand (like trying hard) to hold it in one hand. Would you say that this is a comfortable device to use as a navigation device? I mean, while in car there is no problem, but walking... It is what I'd like to know.

"Using Simulink for Model-Based Design enables us to develop the sophisticated pneumatic controls required for the Bionic Handling Assistant and other mechatronic designs. With Simulink PLC Coder, it is now much easier to get from a design to a product."
Dr. Rüdiger Neumann, Festo
Inspired by the motion of an elephant's trunk, Festo AG developed the Bionic Handling Assistant, a mechatronic arm that can work closely and safely with humans. Unlike industrial robotic arms, which are typically enclosed in safety cages to protect nearby workers, the Bionic Handling Assistant is designed to interact directly with humans. Incidental contact with the mechatronic arm is harmless because the arm is made of lightweight polymer components driven by compressed air. Also, the pneumatics are managed by a control system that yields immediately in the event of a collision.
Festo researchers developed the control system using MATLAB® and Simulink® for Model-Based Design, and then implemented it on a programmable logic controller (PLC) using Simulink PLC Coder™. "With Model-Based Design, we can model, simulate, optimize, and generate code to implement the controller all in the same tool environment," says Dr. Rüdiger Neumann, head of the research department for mechatronic systems at Festo. "As a result, our development process is more efficient, not only for the Bionic Handling Assistant, but for any project that requires a controller implementation with code generation."
With 11 degrees of freedom, the Bionic Handling Assistant is a complex system of 12 pneumatic chambers, 13 actuators, and 12 position sensors. The system's 12 pressure controllers and 12 position controllers work in concert to control the motion of the arm, which weighs about four pounds (1.8 kg) and extends to 3.6 feet (1.1 meters). "Pneumatic systems are highly nonlinear and the trunk has elasticity, so we could not use simple PID controllers," says Neumann. "To get optimal controller response, we needed active vibration damping and specialized nonlinear state-space models, with feedback and feedforward control structures."
Festo's research and development group is frequently asked to assess the feasibility of specialized customer applications. They traditionally developed and tested controllers for these applications on prototyping hardware. The process of creating a microcontroller solution for such a prototype, however, was time-consuming and therefore costly. "We wanted to use Festo's own standard PLC products for real-time control without building new hardware for low-volume special controller applications," says Neumann.
Festo developed the Bionic Handling Assistant controller using Simulink and implemented it in structured text on a Festo PLC using Simulink PLC Coder.
The researchers created plant and controller models in Simulink for the individual pneumatic chambers that make up the Bionic Handling Assistant, and ran simulations to verify controller functionality.
They generated C code from the model using Simulink Coder™. They compiled and deployed this code to prototyping hardware to conduct initial lab tests.
In MATLAB, the researchers performed system identification using measurements gathered during lab tests of the pneumatic arm to refine the plant model.
With a more accurate plant model in place, the team optimized the controller design in Simulink to improve its performance and stability.
They then used Simulink PLC Coder to generate IEC 61131 structured text from the optimized Simulink model of the controller. After importing the structured text into their 3S-Smart Software Solutions CoDeSys IDE, the team compiled and deployed it to a CMXR-C2 multi-axis controller from Festo.
To verify the PLC implementation, they compared its frequency response and time response against those of the Simulink model and the C code for the initial controller prototype. They performed additional iterations to improve performance by tuning the model in Simulink and regenerating structured text with Simulink PLC Coder.
The Bionic Handling Assistant has been demonstrated worldwide and has won innovation awards in Europe and North America. Festo is now using Simulink PLC Coder to develop other advanced mechatronic systems.
