THE WOODLANDS -- A mother, her boyfriend and her 5-year-old daughter have been missing since Christmas night, prompting searchers to fan out over The Woodlands area and investigators to call for the public's help.
Amanda Kay Jindra, 34, along with her daughter, Haley Vilvew, and her boyfriend, Adrian Buckner-Brown, 20, were last seen Tuesday evening in her SUV.
Their relatives have told searchers they're worried because they regularly talk with family members.
"One of our members was actually with the father this morning and he's certainly concerned," said Tim Miller, the founder of Texas Equusearch, a volunteer group that coordinates searches for missing people. "He's thinking that they possibly drove off the road somewhere in a wooded area or possibly even drove off in some water somewhere. He said it's certainly not like his daughter to do anything like this."
Volunteers drove around the area where Jindra lives, hoping to spot her SUV parked in a lot or on a street. Investigators said she was driving a gray 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander bearing Texas license plate number DM2 B06.
Searchers speculated that investigators might use cell phone records for signs of where the missing people went after their disappearance.
Nothing specifically indicates foul play, authorities said, except for the fact that the missing people haven't contacted friends or relatives in days.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, either through the detective's office at 936-760-5800 or the dispatch office at 936-760-5876, or the Montgomery County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-392-STOP.

We keep a bowl of cat food on our front porch for the strays in the neighborhood, but they're usually cats. This guy, however, has become a regular and frequently visits at the same time as the cats. There seems to be quite the symbiotic relationship between cats and raccoons, at least around here. They'll sit together on the porch and contemplate the day's events. The fun ends though when the raccoon uses the rest of the drinking water to wash his face.

Oh my word!
This reminds me of something that happened to me about 18 yrs. ago.
We lived out in the country with about 40 acres. We also had outdoor cats and left a bowl of food and water out for them.
Our visitor was a possum! and he came back everyday and ate with the cats! He became very friendly and we could actually go out on the porch and watch him.

Hood College, in association with Frederick Community College and Frederick Memorial Hospital, in fall 2010 will begin offering a bachelor of science in nursing degree completion program designed for residents of Frederick and adjacent counties. The BSN Completion Program at Hood College is designed to assist registered nurses develop additional skills for the increasing complexity of health care in the 21st Century. This is accomplished by a foundation of liberal arts courses and supplemental nursing education focusing on leadership, research and evidenced-based practice, critical thinking, nursing theory, and communication, among other competencies for professional nursing practice.
The curriculum is designed for the working student. Most semesters the required nursing courses include 5-6 credit hours, although 1 semester the student will take 8 credit hours. Students must successfully complete all prerequisite coursework in the liberal arts prior to beginning the nursing sequence. The prerequisite courses may be transferred from another college or taken at Hood College.
The part-time program will also be available to qualified students from other geographical areas. Hood College has received program approval from the Maryland Higher Education Commission and is seeking approval from the Maryland Board of Nursing and accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education and the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Program development will be completed in the 2009-2010 academic year. Students who have applied and are accepted are eligible to start classes.
The educational objective of the BSN degree completion program is to provide a high quality educational experience that will increase the professional aptitude of the students, broaden their choices for career advancement and provide a regional degree completion program that will improve the local nursing profession.
Students enrolled in the BSN Completion Program must earn a minimum of 124 credits in order to earn a degree. At least 30 of these credits must reflect course work taken at Hood College. All students must complete nursing credits (30) in the following courses at Hood College:
Students who need other credits to complete Hood's requirements will enroll in upper division general education courses. The College will schedule these courses as each cohort begins its program, so that students will have a set schedule throughout their time at Hood.
Residents of Frederick County and adjacent areas presently have no access to a conveniently located BSN degree completion program. Choices include commuting to a distant location to attend classes or enrolling in an online nursing program, an option that does not meet the needs of associate in nursing program graduates.
Frederick Memorial Hospital, the only major comprehensive hospital facility in the area, is interested in increasing the number of FMH nursing staff who have earned a BSN degree. A growing number of retirement communities and nursing facilities in the area are also seeking nursing staff with bachelor's degrees. In most medical facilities, a BSN degree is also a prerequisite for advancement to positions of increased responsibility.
*Hood College is currently seeking program approval from the Maryland Board of Nursing, the Maryland Higher Education Commission, and accreditation from the National League for Nursing and the Middle States Commission on Higher Education for this program. Program development will be completed in the 2009-2010 academic year, and classes for this program are on schedule to begin in fall 2010.
Hood College prepares students to excel in meeting the personal, professional and global challenges of the future. Hood is committed to the integration of the liberal arts, the professions and technology, to the exploration of values, a sense of community and to the preparation of students for lives of responsibility, leadership and service.

|Pitching Dominates Both Games In Sweep
WILMINGTON, North Carolina UNCW starting pitchers Mat Batts and Jordan Ramsey delivered dominant starts as UNCW sweep Colonial Athletic Association leader Georgia State by the scores of 9-0 and 12-1 on Friday at Brooks Field.
The Seahawks upped their record to 16-7 with the sweep overall and 3-1 in the league. The Panthers, meanwhile, dropped to 15-9 and 5-3. UNCW has now won five straight and 10 of its last 11.
In the opener, Batts (3-1) delivered a complete game four-hit shutout against the Panthers, who entered the series as the second best hitting team in the nation. The lefthander struck out seven and did not walk a batter. In the nightcap, Ramsey (3-2) continued UNCW's domination on the mound, striking out a career-high eight and allowing one run on five hits in eight innings.
Offensively, Michael Bass collected three hits in the opener as did Corey Dick. Ryan LaGrange knocked in three runs on two hits and Drew Farber had a bases-clearing three-run double to key a five-run sixth inning.
In game two, Luis Renvill and Luke Dunlap both scored three runs and had two hits as the Seahawks broke open a 1-all game with a six-run sixth inning.
Jerry Stuckey (1-1) was tagged for the loss in game one and Garrett Ford (2-3) was the losing pitcher in game two.
Josh Merrigan had three hits in game two and added a hit in game one for the Panthers, who were held to one run on nine hits on the afternoon.
Next up: The final game of the series is set for 2 p.m. on Saturday. UNCW's 1963 NJCAA National Championship team will be honored prior to the game.
How it happened (Game 1): Nine batters made their way to the plate in a five-run frame that broke open a 3-0 game. With the bases loaded, Farber drilled a bases-clearing double to left to highlight the inning. Michael Bass added a RBI single and LaGrange doubled in a run.
How it happened (Game 2): It was the sixth inning again for the Seahawks as they saw six runs score as 11 batters made their way to the plate. UNCW took advantage of three walks and a hit batter mixed in with four hits in the explosion. Hunter Ridge scored the first run with a sacrifice fly before a double by Dunlap and walks issued to LaGrange two batters later opened the flood gate.
It all begins on the mound: The Seahawks did not walk a batter on the afternoon between Batts, Ramsey and reliever Ryan Foster. Batts, who tossed his third career complete game and first shutout, held the GSU lineup hitless in 11 at bats with runners on base. Ramsey, meanwhile, allowed a run in the first inning before settling down. In his last five starts, he's allowed just three earned runs and eight total. During that span, he's posted a 0.74 ERA.
Inside the numbers: UNCW went 9-for-18 with runners on base in the opener and followed that with a 9-19 performance in game two ... In the nightcap, Seahawk batters advanced a runner in 20-of-27 opportunities ... UNCW score 11-of-12 runners from third with less than two out combined in both games, including 7-for-7 in game two.
Notes: Michael Bass now owns a 19-game hitting streak and has reached base safely in all 23 games and his streak is at 25 dating back to last season ... Terence Connelly and LaGrange extended their on base streaks to 15 and 12 games, respectively ... Farber has driven in 16 runs in his last 10 games to take the team lead with 22 ... UNCW's pitching staff dropped its league-leading ERA to 3.57 ... The Seahawks have scored at least nine runs in each of their five games in the winning streak, including double figures on three occasions ... The Seahawks own a 15-4 record at Brooks Field.

July 31, 2014
EL PASO, Texas - Martial arts film star Steven Seagal has been sworn in as deputy sheriff in a West Texas border county and will start working sometime this year, authorities said.
Hudspeth County Sheriff's Lt. Robert Wilson confirmed Thursday that Seagal, 59, took the oath this week from Sheriff Arvin West. The sheriff's office says the star of such films as "Hard to Kill" and "Exit Wounds" contacted West in August inquiring about work opportunities.
Seagal has been a deputy sheriff in the past while filming a reality show about his work as an officer of the law in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.
"It became clear to me that Mr. Seagal is not in this for his celebrity or publicity. He is like the rest of us," West said in a news release.

A man faces drug and handgun charges after the St. Charles County Drug Task Force searched his St. Charles County home near O'Fallon, police said.
Brian Whaley, 36, of the first block of Laura Drive in St. Charles County near O'Fallon, was charged with possession of a controlled substance and unlawful possession of handguns.
A Drug Task Force detective said Whaley had been under investigation by the drug task force, which executed a search warrant on his home Nov. 20.
Acccording to court documents, the search discovered eight foil devices used to smoke methamphetamine and eight handguns.
Whaley told detectives that he's an enforcer with the Statesmen motorcycle group, according to a police report. Detectives characterized the group as a "motorcycle gang." However, a Statesmen member said the group is a motorcycle club.
Whaley was on probation after being convicted in 2009 for manufacturing and possession of a controlled substance and is not allowed to possess firearms.
Whaley said he got the firearms from his father and brother.
His wife, Tricia Whaley, 35, also was charged with possession of a controlled substance and unlawful use of drug paraphernalia.
Detectives also found prescription narcotics in the home and no one in the home has a prescription for them. One prescription was for a neighbor's son. Tricia Whaley said she took the medication to improve her mood at work.
She also is on probation for a 2009 manufacturing and possession of controlled substance charges.
Bail for Brian Whaley was set at $50,000. Bail for Tricia Whale was set at $20,000.

PORTLAND -- The new Portland women's soccer team will be named the Thorns FC, owners announced Thursday.
The soccer club will be part of a new eight-team professional league that begins play in spring 2013, accoding to parent company Peregine Sports.
"Portland Thorns FC quickly emerged as a natural choice that was appropriate for the city and the culture of Soccer City, USA," said Timbers and Thorns FC owner Merritt Paulson. "And a nice side benefit of the name is the Army's P-T-F-C chant doesn't need much re-scripting for the women's team."
The team also unveiled its shield Thursday (pictured above) and introduced its Facebook page (click below).

The last of Greenville's locally owned pharmacies is closing.
McGaughey's Medicine Chest, which has been in business for more than a century, is scheduled to close its doors at 1 p.m. Saturday, according to Chief Pharmacist Sheila McMurray.
"This is a very sad day for the community," McMurray said.
H. C. McGaughey and H. S. McGaughey opened the McGaughey Brothers Drug Store in downtown Greenville in 1902. H. C. McGaughey retired 50 years later and left the company to H. S. McGaughey, who in turn presented it to his son, Herbert McGaughey Jr.
For a time, there were two locations; one at Lee and Stonewall Streets, run by George Sutton, and another along Wesley Street, operated by Fred Mehew.
The two stores returned to one operation in 1991, when they moved to the current location at 3001 Joe Ramsey Boulevard.
McMurray said she was hired by Sutton in 1989 and noted McGaughey's had provided untold numbers of deliveries, compounding and hospice services and had likely filled millions of prescriptions in the past 110 years.
"It has been such an integral part of the community," she said.
Prescriptions at McGaughey's will be transferred to the CVS Pharmacy at 5010 Wesley Street in Greenville.

I use visuals to tell stories, jokes and truths.
How to be interesting (in 10 stupid-simple steps):
1.Go exploring.
Explore ideas, places, and opinions. The inside of the echo chamber is where all the boring people hang out.
2. Share what you discover.
And be generous when you do. Not everybody went exploring with you. Let them live vicariously through your adventures.
3. Do something. Anything.
Dance. Talk. Build. Network. Play. Help. Create. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as you're doing it. Sitting around and complaining is not an acceptable form of 'something,' in case you were wondering.
4. Embrace your innate weirdness.
No one is normal. Everyone has quirks and insights unique to themselves. Don't hide these things—they are what make you interesting.
5. Have a cause.
If you don't give a damn about anything, no one will give a damn about you.
Awesome! Well illustrated, concise and to the point. My only complaint is the splitting of a relatively short post onto 2 pages. Why? Why?
More clicking = more exposure to advertising…I hate it too
datashaman: Splitting articles into many pages increases the official hit count for a blog or website. And if you're paid by number of hits . . .
You get my award for the 'fewest words – biggest impact' blog – ever. Are you a Buddhist?
+ Being unique, as you did, Jessica.
Great piece and great idea using the graphics to help tell the story. You're on to something here
Pretend to be the boss – only, you are REALLY YOU!
A bigger collection of cliches and generalities I have yet to read.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. dollar pared losses slightly and Treasury prices stayed down Thursday after minutes from the Federal Reserve's September meeting showed its new round of bond purchases was driven by worries not only about jobs but Europe's debt crisis, China's growth and the approaching fiscal cliff. The minutes indicated the central bank will talk more about the idea of conditioning future action on numerical targets instead of a calendar date.

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — Recently, local media have been discussing relatively new forms of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that are making their way around the world called carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteraciae (CRE). In layman's terms, this group represents a number of related microorganisms that have genes inside them that code for resistance to most, if not all, known antibiotic medicines. When exposed to different antibiotics, some bacteria develop resistance to the drug and can pass these resistance genes onto future generations of bacteria. Previously more prevalent overseas where the use of antimicrobial medicines can sometimes be more brazen and are often available without a prescription, they are now making their way to the US and Canada. At this point they usually, but not always, tend to cause disease in patients who are in poorer health or are otherwise compromised, such as those who have cancer or have undergone surgery. Nonetheless, they are quite worrisome and create an impetus to ensure we do all that we can to practice proper infection control, both in the community and the hospital setting.
The mechanisms behind the evolution and expression of these genes, while fascinating, are beyond the scope of this article. Suffice it to say that they are posing an enormous challenge. Treatment of patients infected with these organisms is very difficult and requires the use of salvage and/or toxic medications that often carry dangerous side effects. Despite the use of these drugs, mortality still remains very high. Unfortunately, the types of bacteria that carry these resistance genes are frequent causes of common infections such as those involving the urinary tract and surgical sites. Take, for example, the very common occurrence of a young lady contracting a urinary tract infection. Now imagine that it is caused by one of these bacteria and not being able to easily treat it, if at all, and you can start to appreciate the serious nature of this problem.
What can the medical community do? Despite the known presence of these pathogens in New York, here at Mount St. Mary's Hospital, we have thankfully had very little exposure to these organisms so far. We actively screen all positive cultures for evidence of this type of organism and have a plan in place if one is identified. We also have a robust infection control and antibiotic stewardship program. We strive to use the narrowest-spectrum antibiotic possible for the shortest time necessary while still properly treating the patient. This is a difficult juggling act, but it allows us to protect as much of the "good" bacteria in the patient's body as possible. These good bacteria live harmlessly within our bodies and are one of our best defenses against the development of disease. Their presence helps crowd out bad bacteria by denying them a place to establish themselves. In addition, we actively monitor and remove all catheters and IV lines when no longer necessary. These devices can and do provide a "safe zone" for these pathogens and facilitate their entrance into normally sterile portions of a patient. Finally, we try to minimize your time in the hospital as much as is possible to help avoid exposure to hospital acquired infections.
What can you do? The usual advice still applies. Wash your hands regularly and avoid antibiotics unless prescribed by your doctor. Do not try and pressure your physician into prescribing antibiotics over the phone or for what he or she feels is a viral illness. If you're in the hospital yourself or visiting loved ones, please follow all infection control mandates including the use of gowns and gloves if instructed to do so by your nurse. Together we can help keep these dangerous bugs out of our community and keep our families safe.

I've been thinking about putting together a self published night photography book to use as a portfolio and to sell in conjunction with a print offer. One important question that I've struggled with is how many images are ideal for a fine art photography book? 20 to 30 prints seems right for a portfolio, and 50-60 images sounded like a good number for a book.
To stimulate some more thinking on the matter, I pulled 10 great photography books from the shelf, and took some notes. I was also interested in the layout, written material, and physical dimensions. But the main purpose was to pick 10 photo books I really dig, and see how many images are included:
- Open Range and Parking Lots / Virgil Hancock III. About 53 photos. Author preface. Gregory McNamee essay interspersed with images. 8.5×10.5″
- Suburbia / Bill Owens. About 130 photos. Most on facing pages. 1 page intro only. 10.25″ square
- Lost America / Troy Paiva. About 125 photos. Most on facing pages. Stan Ridgway forward, author essays interspersed in chapters. 9″ square
- Slide Show / Helen Levitt. About 109 photos. Most on facing pages. No captions. Short 1 page forward by John Szarkowski. 9.5×9.0″
- The Americans / Robert Frank. About 86 photos. Intro by Jack Kerouac. Captions at end. 9.5×8.5″
- Bravo 20 / Richard Misrach. About 35 photos. First 50 pages are the story written by Myriam Weisang Misrach. Mix of single and facing pages. 9×12″
- Occupied Territory / Lynne Cohen. About 75 photos. Mostly facing pages. Forward and short essay, and then images. 9×11.5″
- American Prospects / Joel Sternfeld. About 53 photos. Short essays at beginning and end. 10×12″
- Gone: Photographs of Abandonment on the High Plains / Steve Fitch. About 70 photos. Author essay plus 2 additional essays. Captions at end. 8.5×10.5″
- William Eggleston's Guide. About 48 photos. John Szarkowski essay. Single images with location on facing page. 9.25″ square
Want to help with the research? Go to your bookshelves, pull out one of your favorites, and let me know the title and how many images are included. Thanks!

Any tips for a first time Glastonbury attendee? I'm trying to figure out what I should start buying now or if it's better to just buy supplies there. (rain boots, camping supplies and any other necessities) Also what would be a good price on a ticket to London from LAX at that time? Thanks!

Welll think about this. Are you willing to spend almost double on everything when you get there? And if youre lucky maybe $1200'if you get a pretty good fare on sale.
I sprung for a site at worthy view, so I don't need a tent. But I do plan on bringing boots and sleeping supplies with us as opposed to buying them there.
@GlastoFest: The resale date for tickets returned by those deciding not to pay their balances (between April 2-8) will be Sunday, April 21.@GlastoFest: We won't know how many tickets are in the resale until after the ticket balance payment window has closed on April 8.
As for flight, I would consider flying to Birmingham or Manchester rather than London if you are going to wait.

The Bloomfield and Birmingham business community honored one of its own Thursday morning, and named Linda Hatfield the 2012 Business Person of the Year award from the Birmingham Bloomfield Chamber.
Hatfield, vice president of marketing at the Birmingham-Bloomfield Credit Union, is also on the board of directors for the chamber as well as a several other area non-profits, including the Birmingham Rotary and CECAC. She received the award during the chamber's 65th annual meeting Thursday morning at the Birmingham Athletic Club.
During her acceptance speech, Hatfield said there have only been a few times during her 17 years with the credit union that she's been speechless.
"To say this is an honor is an understatement," Hatfield said, getting choked up as she spoke to a room of nearly 50 other business leaders. "When I think of Birmingham, I think of community. ... My involvement has enabled me, I feel, to be a better person."
"I encourage you all to be a part of your communities," Hatfield added.
Hatfield was nominated for the award — given to someone in the Birmingham and Bloomfield business community every year — by the Birmingham Rotary, Birmingham Public Schools and Bob Kupfer of Birmingham's Tiffany Florist.
"Linda lives every day with an enormous passion for doing good in the community she works in and also the one she lives in," Hatfield's nomination reads.
Hatfield was also presented with a tribute from Bloomfield Township Trustee Corinne Khederian, director of district affairs for State Sen. John Pappageorge (R-Troy), signed by Pappageorge and State Rep. Chuck Moss (R-Birmingham).
"(Hatfield) embodies the word ambassador," Khederian said. "She has the personality that could light up a room with her great big smile."
Also during the annual meeting, the chamber's president, Joe Bauman, honored the new and outgoing members of the chamber's board of directors. New to the board in 2013 are:
- Gary Andrus, a property owner at South Adams Square
- Jennie Cascio, of the Children's Charity
- Annie VanGelderen, of the Birmingham Bloomfield Art Center
Meanwhile, Jack Farrow, Brian Henry and Betsy Reich are wrapping up their final year on the chamber board.

DHH Office of Public Health produced this guide to give Louisiana residents tips for keeping their families, coworkers and communities safe in the event of an emergency.
Emergency Preparedness resources for the general public to understand public health precautions against and response to disasters.
A guide for non-medical DHH Employees assigned to work in a Special Needs Shelter.
The Vaccination Annex of the Louisiana Pandemic Influenza Guidance describes the system that will be used to order, store, distribute, track and administer influenza vaccine during a pandemic. This Vaccination Guidance is an annex to several other plans and guidance documents in which the State of Louisiana has planned for an ¨Dall-hazards¡¬ mass distribution system for the receipt, storage, distribution, and dispensing of vaccinations/medications to the general public.
The Containment and Mitigation Annex directly addresses non-pharmaceutical intervention (NPI) strategies for an influenza pandemic in Louisiana. A variety of NPI have been used during past pandemics with varying degrees of success. Containment and mitigation strategies included in this Annex include isolation of ill individuals; self care / home care for ill individuals; policies and procedures for advising voluntary quarantine of household contacts to known or suspected cases, with monitoring; and social distancing practices within the school, workplace and community settings.
The Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) Office of Public Health (OPH) has created this Pandemic Influenza Guidance as a comprehensive containment and treatment plan to assist in the control of an outbreak of a novel influenza virus, such as the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus ("swine flu") or avian influenza.
This Infectious Disease Epidemiology (IDEpi) Pandemic Influenza Annex is designed to explain virologic epidemiology procedures, review investigative requirements for epidemiological surveillance in humans, components of veterinary surveillance, and communications regarding IDEpi findings. In order to support a coordinated approach, steps have been taken to ensure that IDEpi pandemic influenza plans are consistent with Federal, State, and local guidance, plans, and policies.

Staff Reports
DANVERS, Mass. —
A high school math teacher in suburban Boston was murdered Tuesday night, and a 14-year-old student has been charged in her death.
Classes today were cancelled in Danvers, about 20 miles north of Boston, as police investigated the murder of Colleen Ritzer, 24, who was in her second year of teaching at Danvers High School. A portion of the school was marked off as a crime scene.
A 14-year-old student, Philip Chism, was charged with her murder in adult court Wednesday afternoon and held without bail.
Chism was the subject of a public alert by Danvers police Tuesday afternoon when he didn't return home from school. A soccer player, Chism had recently moved to Danvers from Tennessee.
Police later received a report, at 11:20 p.m., that Ritzer had not returned to her home in nearby Andover and was not answering her cell phone, Essex County District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett said during a press conference Wednesday.
Police went to Danvers High School and found blood in a second-floor bathroom. A search of the area turned up Ritzer's body in woods near the school.
"It is apparent she was a homicide victim," Blodgett said.
Police found Chism and took him into custody just after midnight. He was walking north in the southbound lane of a busy highway.
Police determined from talking to Chism, and watching school surveillance footage, that he had killed the teacher and disposed of her body near the school, according to documents filed in court. The report offered no details of how she was killed or of a possible motive.
Ritzer attended Andover High School, graduating in 2007. She graduated from Assumption College, in Worcester, Mass., in 2011, and she began teaching at Danvers High in September 2012.
She maintained a Twitter account at @msritzermath, where she posted homework assignments and described herself as "a math teacher often too excited about the topics I'm teaching."
She was known for encouraging and tutoring students, as evidenced by her posts to Twitter. A week ago, she wished sophomores and juniors luck on their PSATs. In early August, she wrote, "No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind."
Ritzer was working toward a master's degree in school counseling at Salem State University, according to the college's president, Patricia Meservey, who described her as "a bright and vibrant student."
"As a dedicated teacher, Colleen wanted to work with and help children with special needs," Meservey said in a statement. "She believed children have much to offer and often do not realize how special they are as individuals."
Blodgett described Ritzer as a "very, very respected teacher" and said her murder was a "terrible tragedy."

1955 and 57: with Hank Mobley, Horace Silver, Art Blakey — and Carlos 'Patato' Valdes on the first four.
With the almightily beloved jazz standard. Stevie nicked the horn riff for Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing (and Steely Dan helped themselves of course… and Madlib). The great pianist in between bands in 1963-4, with Joe Henderson and Carmell Jones. Monumental hard bop; a key Blue Note.
Three unmissable Shorters: Speak No Evil, Schizophrenia (for Tom Thumb)... and this, Adam's Apple, with Herbie Hancock, Reggie Workman and Joe Chambers in 1966. A rocking title track, a hard blues, some tasty bossa, and the first time out for Footprints.
With Freddie Hubbard, Sam Rivers, Andrew Hill, Richard Davis and Joe Chambers.
With Larry Young, Elvin Jones and Bobby Hutcherson.
With Joe Henderson, Duke Pearson, Bobby Hutcherson. The title-track is lengthily, meltingly gorgeous.
From 1963: Jimmy Smith (organ), Stanley Turrentine (tenor sax), Kenny Burrell (guitar), Donald Bailey (drums).
1964 masterwork with Freddie Hubbard, Herbie, Elvin Jones and Ron Carter, tersely melding avant, modal and bop. 'Wild flowers and strange, dimly-seen shapes… I was thinking of things like witch burnings, too.'
Hard-blowing bop classic from 1958, when Trane was with Monk. A crack sextet rounded out by the richly soulful trombone of youngster Curtis Fuller. Next up, Giant Steps.
Another five-star, stone classic. Check his bass clarinet scorching into the Monk tribute, to start. Fire! The rhythm section — Anthony Williams and Richard Davis, Stravinsky's favourite bassist — is stupendous.
Steeped in the new thing — especially JC — but pulsating, intent and sparking with a restless, propulsive creativity bound for Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Bitches-Brew Miles and co, in just a few years time.
Banging, key Messengers. Blakey is a polyrhythmic blaze; Shorter is vicious. Hubbard bows out of the line-up with a passionate tribute to the Congress of Racial Equality.

The recent tragedy in Newtown, Conn., where 26 school children and adults were killed, makes us think what's going on? Why? Are these causes for this.?
One of the probable causes is the sanctity and value of life has deteriorated. Possible reasons for this deterioration may be the loss of life in Iraq and Afghanistan, where not only military personnel but also civilians including women and children are killed.
Then there are these massive killings in Syria and last, but not least are the thousands of killings due to abortions. Add these up and it points to the deterioration of the sanctity and value of life.
Can something be done about this? Think about it.

Very good location and cute hostel, but we had a bad experience with the owner. He seemed annoyed at us for everthing we did, from ordering food to asking for towels. He got very angry at the end because there was a lipstick stain on one of the towels. The dorm's window didn't close and the lockers were so tiny it was almost impossible to put anything in it. The sheets were clean but the bedrooms lack a serious dusting. I hope they manage to improve the situation, it is a nice hostel nonetheless

November 30, 2009Gap has heard you loud and clear. After thousands of phone calls, emails, and petitions, Gap has just released a very "Merry Christmas" television commercial.
On November 28, Gap's Old Navy division broadcast a television commercial featuring its "Supermodelquins" proudly cheering "Merry Christmas," along with Christmas trees, lights and ornaments. View the commercial here.
As a result of Gap's efforts, AFA is ending the Christmas boycott of the company. Thank you for getting involved!
Even FoxNews has recognized your efforts, saying you and your AFA have been very effective against retailers who won't recognize Christmas in their advertising. See the video.
Again, thanks to your involvement, retailers are listening - and they are changing the way they do business!
In our ongoing effort to encourage other companies to recognize Christmas, your AFA has sent certified letters to Best Buy and Dick's Sporting Goods, asking them to include "Christmas" in their advertising. You will find these two companies listed on AFA's "Naughty or Nice" listing of retailers. We will let you know how they respond.

It's been almost a year since the Weatherford Noon Lions Club lost one of its finest.
Larry Mangrem passed away Dec. 4 of last year, but his legacy with the Lions and in the community continues to be remembered.
Sunday marked the one-year anniversary of Larry Mangrem Day in Weatherford, as proclaimed by Weatherford Mayor Dennis Hooks.
"His absence, and the impact he had on the community won't go away," said Paul Paschall, Lions Club officer. "He was one of the most wonderful men I've met in my life.
"I ended up developing a friendship with him outside of Lions Club as well."
A graduate of Arlington High School and North Texas State University, Mangrem also served in the Army as a platoon leader during basic training and a medic in Vietnam.
He came to Weatherford in 1984, taking on the position of senior vice president and head cashier.
Mangrem was also on several boards in the community, and was known as a die-hard fan of Longhorn football.
"I met Larry when I joined the Crimestoppers Board," Philip Lapp, a close friend of Mangrem's since 1999, said. "We quickly became friends and used to enjoy talking football over lunch. He loved UT and I'm an Aggie, so we had plenty of fun with that."
In October of last year, Lions Club members surprised Mangrem, honoring his image with an awards banquet and light roasting, capped off with a gift of a UT football, autographed by Longhorn head coach Mack Brown.
"Even though we spent a lot of time cracking jokes, over time Larry became a mentor to me," Lapp said. "He was someone that would notice when a friend needed to take a break, or needed some good advice.
"I did a lot of growing up during the years I knew Larry, from fresh out of college and newly married to becoming a father or two and running a busy financial advisory practice. He saw me through these years and I'll always consider it a privilege to have known him."

I had a pear tree with fire blight and have chosen to remove it. Can I replace it with another pear tree, or should I plant something else?
I suggest you plant something else. It isn't wise to put another plant that is susceptible to the disease in the same spot. Fire blight is a bacterial disease that affects apple trees, pear trees and roses. If rainfall occurs during bloom, there is a good chance that fire blight will be a problem. Bees carry the bacteria from bloom to bloom, and this spreads it throughout the plant.
There are no effective chemical controls, but pruning out the cankers will help stop the spread. Cuts need to be made 6-8 inches below the visible sign of infection on the stem. After pruning, clean the pruners with a 10 percent bleach solution followed by a light application of oil to kill bacteria and prevent rust. The varieties kieffer, orient, Garber and Douglas are old varieties of pear that have some resistance to the disease, but may still be affected.

How do I care for iris after they have bloomed?
When blooms are spent the bloom stalk can be cut back, but leave the blades standing. This will continue the process of food production for the plant, which will be stored in the rhizome for next year's growth. When the bloom cycle is complete, the leaf blades add a significant background element in your beds. You may want to trim off any browning edges, but leaving the rest of the leaf blade will be a benefit for the plant.
Later in the summer, you may choose to cut the blades in a fan shape no shorter than five to six inches. It does not take them long to produce new growth and add green color to your landscape. When you add mulch to the bed, be sure that the rhizomes are not buried. These should remain at the surface of the soil and have some exposure to the air.
I have verbena and was told to deadhead it. Why should I do this?
The goal of most flowers is to reproduce by growing seeds within the spent flowers. Deadheading is the practice of removing spent blooms from the plant before the seed forms. Removing old blooms will cause many plants to quickly bud and bloom again in order to reproduce before the season is over. The practice of deadheading will give you a longer season of color in the bed. This is true for many flowering plants.

---- — Candidate left out
TO THE EDITOR: I am glad that WPTZ Channel 5 has taken the effort to organize and broadcast a congressional debate here in Plattsburgh at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 16.
It is very disappointing, though, that only two of the three candidates on the ballot are being included, those from the two dominant political parties.
The general election for this office garnered widespread attention in 2009 (especially) and 2010, even on national cable news channels, when a "third-party" candidate (Hoffman) got into the race, and he was rightfully included in congressional debates.
Why would WPTZ decide not to invite Donald Hassig? Is it because he cannot afford to air lots of campaign commercials on our local NBC affiliate as Doheny and Owens do? Is it because Owens is the local guy and they feel pressure to li
mit his competition? Is it because Hassig is liberal, rather than a tea party candidate like Hoffman? Is it because Hassig doesn't frequently wear a suit and tie? I don't know. Organizers at Channel 5 would know.
Doheny may be right when he questioned the polling for this race done during the Democratic National Convention, as the Democrats were getting much more coverage nationally that week. Well, Hassig's poll numbers may be down due to his receiving less regional coverage all year than both Owens and Doheny.
I am sure that as the "host candidate," living here in Plattsburgh, Owens would not mind if all three voices were heard in this debate, as they have been the last two elections.
Shouldn't news media cover all candidates equally, allowing voters to decide who they prefer, rather than deciding for voters which ones they can learn about from the news?
Choosing a president
TO THE EDITOR: Regarding the recent letter captioned "Understand before vote," I couldn't agree more with the writer, an elderly man who had lost his wife to cancer.
You do need to know what is going on before you make your choice for president. Unfortunately, many, like the writer, have no clue.
The Affordable Health Care Act will not be fully implemented until 2013, after the election. Only a few non-controversial provisions are in effect. When the full weight of the law is on us, the results will be catastrophic, as well as unaffordable.
The excellent care the writer's late wife received was indicative of the pre-Obama health system and will be largely eliminated. A review panel is established to ration care for the elderly, and much of the prolonged treatment she was provided with would be withheld due to her age and projected remaining years. This is spelled out in the act.
Another problem the writer has with his timeline is who controls Congress and what are the results. The Democrats controlled both the Senate and the House from 2006 to 2010, including the first two years of Obama's presidency. In fact, they had super majorities so they could effectively stifle all debate. They still control two of the three branches of our government: the Senate and the Executive Branch.
So what did they do with this unprecedented power? They rammed through a health-care plan that 62 percent of America opposes, provisions of which are largely unknown, that will drastically change the excellent health care that the vast majority of Americans enjoy now.
Your choice is important. We've seen what a community organizer can do to us. We must get people in government with proven experience in solving problems. I hope we can change.
Rouses Point
Water too cold
TO THE EDITOR: I am a member of the PARC Wellness Center and have been for the past eight years.
It was therapy before, then after, surgery that brought me there. I used the pool for my therapy under the guidance of a therapist. After therapy ended, I continued with a membership and used only the pool.
Going to the pool every day was something I looked forward to because it gave me relief from pain. The water temperature was a nice tolerable temperature, and it felt good on my aching back and legs.
New management has come in and has dropped the temperature of the pool to an intolerable level. The reason given is to make if more comfortable for the lappers, training for endurance competitions. What about the people who are there for their own therapy? It is a wellness center, right?
The group negatively affected by this change is a mix of ages, mostly elderly. I am in the middle of that mix. The water is freezing, and I am not usually one to complain about cold.
I've seen young people trying to do therapy, and they're even cold. Patients with MS and severe arthritis are refusing to get in the water and feeling forced out.
Since PARC Wellness management is refusing to listen to the old cold crew, the older members are leaving, with no place to go. This was their gym, their outing, their way to stay fit.
Please, PARC management, let's work together on this or another former member I'll be.
Member ... for now.

It's crucial to understand how doctors assess MS symptoms and how the severity of the disease increases over time. MS is caused by the body's defense system attacking myelin, the fatty substance surrounding and protecting nerve fibers in the central nervous system. This disrupts signals traveling to and from the brain causing various symptoms of MS such as weakness. The immune response or inflammation sometimes damage the nerve themselves, leaving scar tissue or sclerosis, causing permanent damage and disability
This results in a variety of symptoms. Among other things, MS may cause blurred vision, dizziness, tingling and numbness, partial or total paralysis, speech difficulties, hearing loss, blindness, fatigue, depression, elimination problems or memory and cognition difficulties.
But what makes MS so challenging is its unpredictability. Symptoms vary greatly from one person to the next and they frequently wax and wane. What's more, in some instances, major symptoms may disappear entirely and later a relapse will take place. As a result, getting a handle on the disease is challenging.
Because symptoms of MS frequently mimic other nervous system disorders, doctors usually conduct neurological tests to rule out other possibilities. These tests focus on checking reflexes, sensations, body movements, vision and pupil response, and eye movements. Five types of tests are commonly used to assist with the diagnosis of the condition. These include:
Neurologic Exam and Interview. A physician performs a check on medical history and uses a variety of tests to evaluate cognition, emotional clues, language function and physical abilities, including balance, coordination, vision and other senses. Doctors often rely on the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) to measure the physical disability associated with MS. By asking a series of questions they're able to assess where you're at on the MS spectrum.
Cerebral Fluid Analysis. A spinal tap, also referred to as a lumbar puncture, allows doctors to collect a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and and perform various of tests. These tests are to confirm the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis and to evaluate for diseases which may mimic MS. One important test that your doctor may order is oligoclonal bands. The presence of oligoclonal bands is suggestive of inflammation of the central nervous system, a strong indicator of MS.
MRI Scan. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain can detect the lesions, damage from the exacerbation of MS. However, some patients who display a normal MRI may have MS. Others with lesions—particularly the elderly—don't have MS.
Evoked Potential (EP) Test. These assessments record the nervous system's electrical response to stimulation across different pathways. The residual damage from MS attacks can be detected by slower neurological response times. This test can detect nerve pathways that a neurologic exam cannot.
Blood test. Although a blood test cannot diagnose MS, it can be used to rule out other conditions that produce similar outcomes, including collagen-vascular diseases, hereditary disorders and HIV.
MS is a challenging disease to diagnose. A doctor must detect damage in two separate areas of the central nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves—and document that the damage occurred at least one month apart. It's also necessary to rule out all other possible diagnosis. Specific guidelines for using diagnostic tools, including MRIs and VEPs, exist. These steps, referred to as the McDonald Criteria, were created in 2001 and updated in 2010. The Kurtzke Expanded Disability Scale (EDSS) uses whole and half numbers and a ranking from one to 10 to assess the level of disability.
Disease Types and Progression
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society describes four distinct courses of the disease. All can vary across mild, moderate and severe symptoms:
Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS). The most common form of the disease (85 percent) experience clearly defined attacks of worsening neurologic function. Relapses and flare-ups occur and they're followed by recovery periods.
Primary-Progressive MS (PPMS). This form of MS (10 percent) causes steadily worsening neurologic function—without distinct relapses or remissions. Only minor and occasional plateaus and improvements occur.
Secondary-Progressive MS (SPMS). Some patients with relapsing-remitting MS can develop into secondary progressive MS. Patient no longer have relapses and recovery periods. It is characterized by a steadily worsening state, with or without flare-ups, plateaus or remissions. Historically, about 50 percent of those diagnosed with relapsing-remitting MS developed SPMS within 10 years. However, it isn't known whether recent treatments reduce progression from RRMS to SPMS.
Progressive-Relapsing MS (PRMS). About 5 percent of those with MS experience PRMS. These individuals experience steadily worsening conditions—with attacks that are clearly identifiable. Some PRMS suffers experience remissions or recoveries following a relapse. Regardless, the disease progresses.
Track your progress with Healthline's MS Assessment Tool.
Related Conditions
Some MS patients also suffer from idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), an autoimmune bleeding disorder that results in abnormally low levels of platelets, creating a condition known as thrombocytopenia. The lack of these specialized blood cells leads to poor clotting and excessive bleeding.
Although there's no cure for MS, treatments can help manage the condition more effectively. Most people with MS have a normal or near-normal life expectancy, according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Moving my post from Post Your Gaming Setup! megathread to here because I think it is a bit off-topic, with the subject matter we moved on to...
@Drunkenvalley... I'm in a basement, it appears he's in a real room. lol
(btw, posting this picture to my facebook, this is just too good.)
Speaking of power and all that - I am safely underground in a house/neighborhood that has underground electric cables. ;D Have not had a power outage in literally years, though just last summer we had that one bit of flooding in the basement from a lighting bolt striking likely outside the house, it only fried the modem, everything else continued to work and still does to this day. I think the last time we lost power during a storm would have been during this one storm back in like 2002. lololol

It is not the count of your posts, but the quality of your posts that matter... luckily, I have both. ^_<
i lost power 2 years ago when some idiot trying to race his GTO ran it right into a transformer, but surprisingly Xcel had the transformer replaced and power restored within 3 hours, otherwise, we haven't had any outages since i was a kid, and even then, only 1 or two, which wasn't fun, because as a kid, a power outage is very fun

Last spring/summer every time it would rain my whole neighborhood would lose power for a couple hours at a time. One night it lasted for a good 5-6 hours with an electrical crew working the entire time. Every couple hours the power would turn on briefly, then you'd year a loud "BZZZZZT*POP*!" coming from down the street where the transformer box is and it would go out again. Turns out an underground power cable (all the power cables around here are underground) was shorting out, and it only happened when the ground was wet.
After all that, I asked for a UPS for Christmas... and ironically we haven't had a power outage since
The music was from iTunes, and they don't offer redownload, so yeah I'm screwed. I'm not going to promote piracy here but it's not my fault they don't offer redownload D:
Wow now I know why I never jumped on the itunes bandwagon. I still buy CD's and rip them myself lol.
"Kick in their face with your fist" -phlover
That's why you use the iCloud, stores all your music there, can download it whenever you want. Still, I've heard stories of people calling Apple and getting at least part of their library back, so try that.
Sorry to hear about your data loss. =(
Yeah I was honestly not expecting that from Apple, since I've seen everyone go on about how you can redownload apps and such.
I've got my harddrive from my dead laptop (which my ex-girlfriend smashed, along with my webcam) out & found out it's got around 60% of the steam games I've had before, so that's a start. Also got Starcraft 2 & WoW from a friend, so I'm not entirely bored now.
I tried switching around to all 8 controllers but it didn't "restore" my raid0, so I'm certain it is a dead harddrive, my old intel SSD X-25M's freezes started to get worse so I just ended up throwing it in the bin, good thing is I got a free 320 series 120GB SSD from PCGamer.com so I just reinstalled windows, to get rid of the 5 minute boot it took on my X-25M.
Horrible, horrible month =(
hey now, useless certs that dont mean anything anymore are never fun

the annoying thing about the CCNA is that you still need it, but its not relevant anymore, the main reason companies want you to have it is that they can get a discount from Cisco based on the number of certified employees they have, even though 90% of a CCNA is covered in a CompTIA Net+, the other 10% has mostly to do with iOS which isn't too common anymore given that most managed switches and routers have a built in web gui

Ohh yes, you need to update your itunes first, then click on itunes store, log in, then take a gander over at the sidebar. Should be right there.
