For the first time at an Olympics, there's a medal for the country of Cyprus — and a new hero who will carry it home.
Sailing champion Pavlos Kontides has earned the small island nation's first-ever Olympic medal. The 22-year-old Kontides has assured himself at least a silver medal in the Laser class and has a slim chance at clinching the gold in Monday's final race.
Cypriot media are praising his achievement as the "brightest page in Cyprus' sporting history." It's certainly a milestone for the island: While Cyprus is said to have fielded some Olympic champions in antiquity, Kontides' medal is its first since the island started taking part in the modern-day Olympics in the 1980 Moscow Games.
The medal offers some cheer to ethnically-split Cyprus roiling under an economic crisis that in June saw it become the fifth country to seek an economic rescue package from its partners in the group of nations that use the euro as their currency.
It's fitting that Cyprus' first Olympic medal comes in sailing, since the seafaring nation's sailing heritage stretches back millennia. Its current shipping registry ranks 10th in the world.

The world's slimmest interchangeable lens
As of August 2011, Sony's NEX-5NK is the world's smallest interchangeable lens camera. This 16.1MP digital camera with an 18-55 mm lens shoots high definition 1080/60p or 24p movies in industry-standard high-quality AVCHD codec and captures 3D, panaromic, portrait, or backlit pictures as fast as 10 frames per second on burst mode. Your pictures and videos have the benefit of a 3" tiltable, LCD touch-screen so that your human eye can see the world through the camera's eye. Not to mention, the object-tracking AF option can lock onto a specified object on your LCD screen. The auto options allow for face detection of up to 8 people, skin softening of wrinkles and blemishes, smile shutter that automatically waits to take when a subject smiles, and 3D sweep panorama for dimensional trip captures. The NEX-5NK claims the world's shortest shutter release time, which is the time from when you press the shutter button and the camera takes a picture. By initiating the exposure electronically instead of with the traditional shutter mechanism, release time on the NEX-5NK reduces to only 20 milliseconds or .02 seconds! An especially unique feature of the NEX-5NB is its ability to take 6 pictures of the same subject and then combine all 6 to render the most true-to-life image. This layering method is also used to control blur in anti-motion blur mode or to get cleaner, sharper nighttime pictures in hand-held twilight mode. Take advantage of the slimmest interchangeable lens camera on the market and buy the Sony NEX-5NK with an 18-55 mm lens today.

Great product, a little pricey, great looks, better pictures, hd recorder. A huge step forward for point-and-shoot users. No need to be photo expert to handle, the best alternative to a DSLR. User interface could be improved, but nice help and tutorials for people learning the basics of good photography. As for the pictures, it has a great resolution and pictures surely looks greats. Besides, nice features like panoramic photos and color filters. I feel great with this buy, in spite of being on the market for a little less expensive camera. Recommended.

Community cooks up tasty Christmas event
7:00pm Tuesday 4th December 2012 in News By Emma Harrison
Buy this photo Comfort Oluwayomi, right, and others bring food
PREPARATIONS are under way to give hundreds of residents on an Oxford estate a Christmas celebration to remember.
Hundreds of people are expected at a party and tree lighting ceremony in The Oval, Rose Hill, on Saturday.
Members from the different cultures in Rose Hill's community met on Thursday to taste some of the food which will be on offer during the evening at Rose Hill Community Centre.
Rose Hill resident Comfort Oluwayomi, 36, said: "The food is very nice, so yummy.
"It is going to be fabulous, I'm excited already.
"We are bringing people together, it is going to be a great event."
Father Christmas will switch on the Christmas tree lights with Minnie and Mickey Mouse at 5pm and this will be followed by live music from the Jub-ilee Brass band, with carols sung by children from Rose Hill Primary School.
There will be a host of different food dishes as well as music and dancing in the Rose Hill Community Centre and pony rides in The Oval.
Father Christmas will also hand out presents to all the children.
Rose Hill community worker Fran Gardner is organising the event with colleagues Ali Hall and Asha Rogers, using funding from housing association GreenSquare's Big Lottery Fund Cultural Food grant.
Ms Gardner said: "It's really important that we make the Christmas party a truly multicultural celebration.
"Our event committee is drawn from residents of many different cultures who advise the Lottery team on the type of food and music that should be available.
"We really appreciate their input."
Scottish and Southern Energy Contracting (SSE) is funding the cost of a team to decorate trees in The Oval and providing the power to light them for six weeks.
Ms Gardner added: "We are doing something a bit different this year and decorating four large trees in The Oval.
"They should look very impressive with all their lights on.
"But that does add extra work for the SSE teams as they have four trees to light, not just one.
"Although everyone in our community celebrates Christmas in different ways, this is a fantastic time for people of all cultures to come together with family and friends, to celebrate, socialise and have fun.
"It promises to be a joyous occasion and I hope everyone comes along and gets into the spirit of things."
Entry to the celebration costs 50p per person.
About 600 residents attended last year's Christmas party on the estate.

The New Albany Board of Works and Public Safety unanimously denied Tuesday a grievance claim filed by the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge No. 99.
The complaint alleged New Albany Police Chief Sherri Knight failed to follow the union's contract with the city when staffing the second police shift on Nov. 11.
According to local union president and NAPD Sgt. John Hall, Knight assigned officers from different shifts to fill-in for cops who were attending an out-of-town training session.
Knight should have used the department's overtime call-in list to adequately staff the shift instead of arbitrarily assigning officers, Hall said.
The contract states the police chief "shall use the call-in list" when staffing for a shift which falls to less than five officers, Hall said. The use of the word shall means the section supersedes any other language in the contract regarding staffing adjustments, he continued.
But City Attorney Stan Robison and NAPD administration countered that the staffing level never dropped to less than five officers because other cops were assigned to the shift two months prior to the date in question.
NAPD Assistant Chief Greg Pennell said "the shift didn't fall short" because other officers were scheduled to work, therefore there wasn't a need to use the overtime list.
Robison added that Knight slated the schedule change well in advance of the shift.
"She looked ahead and she scheduled accordingly," Robison said just before requesting the grievance be denied.
The board — which is comprised of mayoral appointments — voted 3-0 to deny the grievance. The complaint was first presented to the body last month, but action had been delayed for further review.
The city remains in a debate with the union over the payment of $300,000 in retroactive salary increases for 2010 through 2012.
An arbiter ruled in favor of the union last month, but Robison has questioned whether his decision can force the city to fund the requests.
The union is seeking a 4 percent cost-of-living increase for this year, as well as the award of a salary stipend and transfer of holiday pay to base pay labor officials said was promised in 2010 and 2011 under former Mayor Doug England.
Union representatives are scheduled to meet with Mayor Jeff Gahan next week.
Armstrong Bend to close for construction
After a group of residents complained about the condition of the road last week, the New Albany Stormwater Department is moving ahead with a project to repair a portion of Armstrong Bend.
Residents fear the road is in danger of collapsing due to deterioration caused by poor drainage. The board of works agreed Tuesday to shut down the road one day next week for culvert work in hopes of alleviating some of the drainage problems.
The project was estimated to cost about $17,000, and the road closure will be scheduled with the residents who live in the area so they can help determine the best day.
The work is expected to take a few days, but the road will only be closed for one day.
City officials said they also plan to investigate whether a new portion of roadway should be built in the area in question to widen the span.

Flying it ForwardMarch 28th, 2013
March was a fun aviation month for me! I did a lot of flying, attended the Women in Aviation Conference in Nashville and even better, I got to introduce quite a few women in my local area to general aviation. Women of Aviation Worldwide Week was held March 4 through March 10 and my home airport, Frederick Airport, participated in a contest called Women Fly it Forward. The goal was to earn the title of "Most Female Friendly Airport" by flying the largest number of women and girls during the week. Tallies are still being made to see who has won, but I can tell you that just being a part of the international event was a blast and really helped to solidify why I love to fly and why I love to instruct.

The Tribune-Star
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is mourning the loss of its 14th president, Matt Branam, who died Friday after a sudden medical emergency in his office.
He was transported to a local hospital by ambulance and died shortly after his arrival.
William R. Fenoglio, chairman of Rose-Hulman's board of trustees, stated that the loss "saddens us deeply. Matt Branam was unique and talented; as a graduate of Rose-Hulman, he brought a level of passion for the school that created new energy on our campus."
He described Branam as a "visionary" who celebrated the college's achievements and enthusiastically shared them with people throughout Indiana and across the country.
"We all express our deepest condolences to his family," Fenoglio said.
Details about Rose-Hulman's interim leadership and memorial services will be forthcoming, he said. The Rose-Hulman board is expected to meet by conference call Monday to make a decision about interim leadership.
Branam, 57, was a Terre Haute native who earned a bachelor's degree in civil engineering from Rose-Hulman in 1979. He was elected Rose-Hulman's president in late 2009 after serving five months in an interim role.
"I returned to my alma mater to become president because I could not think of a more vital or important place to be at this moment in American history," Branam stated recently. He was a strong advocate of science, math and engineering education in solving global issues.
Trenton Tabor, a Rose-Hulman senior, worked with Branam on a number of projects. "He was a mentor to me," Tabor said. "I learned a great deal from him about trying to lead such a diverse organization as Rose-Hulman" and how to reconcile various groups that had different perspectives.
Branam was "so accessible" to students, Tabor said. "I met often with him about decisions he made and the direction he was going. … He was willing to talk with me and explain what he was doing."
Tabor, Branam and other students worked together on a fun project just Wednesday, when they put together a video announcement for campus to inform them that Dean Kamen — world-famous inventor and science advocate — would be the commencement speaker on May 26.
Branam rode a Segway, a two-wheeled electric vehicle invented by Kamen, on campus. "He had a great time," Tabor said. Branam sent it out on campus email late Thursday night and students were watching it Friday morning, although it was removed after he died.
"It will be a lot of students' last memory of him," happily riding around campus talking about the commencement speaker, Tabor said.
In another project, Tabor was in charge of a senior class giving campaign and the goal was to raise $10,000 to support a scholarship. He asked for Branam's help, and Branam pledged to personally match the amount raised up to $10,000.
Friday was a "very sad day for me," Tabor said. "I will miss him a great deal and the campus will as well."
Bill Kline, dean of faculty, said the campus reaction "was one of shock, sadness and loss."
During his tenure as president, Branam "came in and held us all to a very high standard of performance and excellence."
The president "had done an outstanding job" of starting a strategic planning process to establish a vision "for the next great chapter at the institution," Kline said. The campus is committed to continuing that effort, called "The Great Debate."
During Branam's tenure, "There was a sense of pride and energy on campus" and anticipation about the future," Kline said.
Fenoglio said Branam wanted Rose-Hulman known worldwide for its excellence in engineering, science and math. While he was a "superb leader of the present," Branam's most important contribution was his work to define the institute's future, Fenoglio said.
Accomplishments during Branam's tenure include the launching of a strategic planning process that so far has involved more than 2,000 alumni, corporate and education leaders, faculty, staff, student and parents. He also presided while Rose-Hulman maintained its No. 1 ranking in U.S. News & World Report's annual college ranking of specialized undergraduate engineering institutions.
His tenure also was marked by several facility improvements including the creation of a collaborative student working environment, the Student Innovation Center, which opened last fall; the construction of a 240-bed LEED-certified residence hall, to be open this fall; the construction on the William Alfred Cook Laboratory for Bioscience Research, now under way; and the remodeling of five state-of-the-art classrooms, opening this fall. He also expanded global awareness and diversity initiatives.
Before becoming Rose-Hulman's president, Branam had a 24-year career at United Parcel Service (1972-1996) and rose to the position of vice president of public affairs in Washington, D.C.
He also was the first-ever chief operating officer of the American Red Cross, serving at the request of former Red Cross president Elizabeth Dole. During his tenure, the nonprofit organization's operating revenue grew by 38 percent to $2.5 billion annually.
Branam is survived by three adult children: Clint, Washington, D.C.; Travis, Terre Haute; and Brooke, Alexandria, Va.

Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels:
"Matt Branam's tragic passing is a loss not only to one of America's finest academic institutions but to our entire state. Matt was leading Rose-Hulman from strength to strength, and its graduates are making enormous contributions to the economic life of Indiana. It's especially sad because this native son of our state came home to us after an illustrious career elsewhere, and we had all looked forward to many more years of his leadership. He'll be a very difficult person to replace."
Indiana State University President Dan Bradley:
"It's a terrible shame and a big blow for his family and the college. I think he was a great colleague and he brought stability to Rose-Hulman. He's going to be missed."
Ann Valentine, chancellor, Ivy Tech Community
College — Wabash Valley Region:
"Matt Branam's visionary spirit and leadership provided opportunities for Ivy Tech and Rose-Hulman students, faculty and staff to collaborate, work and learn collectively through Rose-Hulman Ventures. Our recent discussions about global workforce development and international relations provided for promising future partnerships. I was shocked to hear the news today and on behalf of the entire Ivy Tech family, our prayers are with his family, friends and the entire Rose-Hulman community."
Dottie King, president,
St. Mary-of-the-Woods College:
"We at St. Mary-of-the-Woods College are deeply saddened by the loss of Mr. Matt Branam. I knew Matt to be kind, generous and extremely committed to the mission of Rose-Hulman. His family and the entire Rose-Hulman community are in our prayers."
Jeff Belskus, president & CEO, Hulman & Co. and
Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corp. He also serves as vice chairman of the Rose-Hulman board of trustees:
"All of us at Hulman & Co. and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corp. are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Matt Branam. Hulman & Co. has a longstanding relationship with Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, and there are very few institutions with which our organization has a stronger tie. We have been fortunate enough to work with and get to know Matt well during his tenure at RHIT. His leadership, vision and commitment to the betterment of the community, and his passion for preparing young adults to succeed and contribute in a competitive business environment will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Matt's family, friends and everyone at RHIT."
Bob Quatroche, interim president of the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce (Branam served on the
Chamber's board of directors):
"The Chamber of Commerce is really saddened by this unexpected passing of President Matt Branam. He provided wise counsel and advice on many issues that came before the Chamber. We extend sympathy to his family and to the faculty, staff and students at Rose-Hulman."
Dan Tanoos, Vigo County School Corp.
"It's a tragic loss for the community and his family."
James M. Danko, Butler University president:
"Matt Branam was an exemplary leader for Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. In his work with UPS, the Red Cross and other organizations, as well as in higher education, he was an innovator and forward thinker. Butler University sends its most heartfelt condolences to the Rose-Hulman community."

Live Chat With Dr. Deepak Chopra
On the concepts in his latest book, the human genome, and the afterlife.
: Hello, everybody and welcome to our chat with acclaimed writer Dr. Deepak Chopra, author of "Ageless Body, Timeless Mind" and most recently "How to Know God."
: It's great to be on Beliefnet today, and let's get going!
: You wrote that when one dies physically, memories of this life are lost. How is it that some people are able to remember past lives?
: No memory is ever lost. The memory goes into the virtual domain, where it exists as a potential memory. Just like a photon is not a photon until you observe it, a memory is not a memory until you actualize it. Memories of previous lifetimes remain in the virtual domain in seed form. They are actualized under special circumstances. Most people do not remember previous lifetimes, and that, of course, is in the interest of economy of expenditure of energy. It's not necessary.
: Andrew Weil says that our beliefs trigger metabolic systems, in his book "Spontaneous Remission." Do you believe in life after death and disincorporated beings, or do you think/believe that the miracles of the body are part of a complex physical system, as Dr. Weil and Crick believe? Thank you.
: Both schools of thought are correct. Our beliefs trigger biological responses. There is survival of consciousness after death and memories and contexts and relationships of previous lifetimes influence our biological patterns and our personalities today. At the same time, our biological responses are a result of what's contained in our DNA. The DNA, however, is not the source of information. It's what information comes through. Just like if you listen to Beethoven on the radio, the radio is not the source of Beethoven, he comes through the radio. When you read Shakespeare, he is not contained in the ink, even though he comes through it.
: Dr. Chopra, thank you for this opportunity. I've read "How to Know God," and I think I move between the first five levels, but do you think that we should expect to get to the sixth and seventh and stay there for more than brief periods of time?
: Yes. To get to the sixth level, study the life of enlightened beings, such as Christ, Buddha, the great saints of the Christian tradition, all the great avatars from the East, and then on the day-to-day level, ask yourself, "What would this being do in this situation?" In other words, try to see the world through the consciousness of your spiritual inheritance. Once you enter the sixth domain, you will start to have glimpses of the seventh level as well.
: Another difficult Eastern concept is the fundamental emptiness of God, that the divine is empty of any conceptual identity. How do you explain this to Westerners?
: As soon as you conceptualize something, you limit it. All concepts or definitions are therefore limiting. Divine intelligence, or God, is unbounded, eternal, ineffable, without any beginning or ending in time, and beyond the edges of space. Therefore, the emptiness that you speak of is not an emptiness. It is the fullness of infinite possibilities. It is the field of pure potentiality. It is the immeasurable source of all that was, all that is, and all that will be. God is therefore not conceptualizable, but definitely realizable.

As he readied to sign his name to a white steel beam at the site of the Bishop David Zubik said he doesn't see the upcoming decommission of the school's location in Pittsburgh's Troy Hill neighborhood as a closure.
Instead, he views it as giving birth to the new school.
"It's really a dream come true," he said.
Inviting construction workers to join him, Zubik was the first to sign his name on the ceremonial beam, which was then hoisted onto the school's steel structure Friday as part of a "topping out" ceremony.
Crowned with a broom to represent a "clean sweep" with no construction accidents, as well as a potted tree to symbolize "topping out," the beam was the last piece to be fitted on the school's steel skeleton.
Now in its seventh month of construction, the school, located along 71 acres on Route 228 near Cranberry's border with Seven Fields, is scheduled to be open in time for the 2014-15 school year.
Construction should be completed by January 2014, according to Michael J. Arnold, chief facilities officer for the Diocese. Students will begin attending the school in August 2014.
When the Diocese of Pittsburgh announced two years ago it would build a new school, Zubik said there were many who said it wouldn't happen. After more than 70 years in Troy Hill, the Diocese decided to move the school's programs to Cranberry in response to population growth and shifts in the North Hills.
"The population growth here is incredible," Zubik said.
Zubik said there has been great interest in the school from prospective students. He added local Catholic elementary schools are "bursting at the seams" with students eager to continue to their Catholic education at the high school level.
"I think that says a great deal about how important Catholic education is," he said.
The new North Catholic is the first high school the Diocese has opened since 1967.
When finished, the school will accommodate 1,000 students. For a Patch article on the building's construction progress, click here.
We want to know what you think. Are you excited for the school's opening in Cranberry? Leave your thoughts in the comment section below.

After slow start, Longhorns bury Tigers
Published 12/15/2012By KEVIN THOMPSON
HOLCOMB — A couple of different Holcomb teams showed up Friday night, but in the end, the real Longhorns came away with a 64-33 win over Goodland in Great West Activities Conference action.
On the one hand early was the team that missed a lot of shots in the first quarter and had just a 12-11 lead after the Cowboys started the second period with an early bucket.
After a quick timeout called by Holcomb coach Chad Novack to straighten out a few things, the real Longhorn squad emerged, going on a 17-0 run to take a 29-13 halftime lead.
Shane Bennett blocked two shots and scored six points to take over the inside, and Holcomb hit three treys from a variety of spots to get back on track in the second quarter.
"The first half I was just more disappointed in our defensive effort. We had a distinct size advantage, but they got some offensive boards we shouldn't have allowed," Novack said. "In the second half, we did a much better job of blocking out."
In the first half, Holcomb gave up six offensive rebounds; in the second half, none, so that facet worked, he said.
After trading baskets for much of the third period, Holcomb went on a 12-3 run to end that frame, including eight points by Aaron Hernandez.
Tyler LaSalle led all scorers with 19 points, while Bennett had 14 and Hernandez 10.
Holcomb shot 45 percent from the floor (28-of-62), including 7-of-15 from behind the arc.
That could have been an even higher percentage, Novack said, if they could have hit the inside guys more in the first half (they were just 6-of-14 underneath) instead of settling for as many outside shots as they did.
"When we have an advantage like that inside, we need to do a better job of getting the ball in there," he said.
But they did end up with 18 offensive boards, so that means the guys inside were working hard, as was the rest of the team.
"The kids played hard again," Novack. "Not such a great first half, but in the second they played a lot better defense."
Getting to the line just four times on only eight Goodland fouls, however, tells him his team wasn't as aggressive as it needed to be.
But Holcomb only had five turnovers on the night, and that was definitely a factor, Novack said.
"Our goal is 12 or less, and we end up with five. That was a good job on our part taking care of the basketball," he said.
Goodland was led by Gage Ihrig with 15 points and Gannon Ihrig with 10. Only two other Cowboys scored.
Gage Ihrig hit all three of Goodland's 3-pointers, but he and Gannon Ihrig missed 13 combined.
"They've got some shooters," Novack said. "We knew that going into it. At times we lost them on defense, which shouldn't happen, but in the second half we did a much better job with locating them and keeping them under wraps."
Now 4-1, Holcomb faces an athletic Southwestern Heights team Tuesday at home, and the matchups are pretty equal, so it should be a good game, with both teams with just one loss each, Novack said.
Goodland 9 3 14 6 — 33
Holcomb 12 17 22 13 — 64
Goodland (2-4) — Lazaro 1 0-0 2, Gage Ihrig 5 2-3 15, Gannon Ihrig 3 4-5 10, Helton 2 2-2 6. Totals 11-37 8-10 33.

3-pt. goals — Goodland 3-16 (Gage Ihrig 3), Holcomb 7-15 (LaSalle 3, Cox 2, Richmeier 2). Rebounds — Goodland 18 (Lazara 5, Helton 5), Holcomb 32 (Bennett 9). Turnovers — Goodland 15, Holcomb 7. Fouled out — none. Total fouls — Goodland 8, Holcomb 13.

NSFW Bush's Bad Name, Obama's Promises
Credit: The Gateway Pundit:
Rescuing 50 Million People From Brutal Regimes Has Given Bush a Bad Name With Muslims
President George W. Bush has liberated 50 million Muslims from two of the most brutal regimes in history.
He filled the marshes in Iraq with water and brought democracy to the Middle East.
He saved the Iraqi people from these evil thugs:
(WARNING: Very graphic) NSFW, NSFC, Not for the weak stomach...
YouTube - Saddam Hussein Crimes
President Bush replaced these regimes with democratic governments.
And, he did this despite the constant attacks from the Left, Democratic politicians, radical Islamists and the mainstream media.
Today the AP once again spouted off their litany of sins against the Bush regime:
The U.S. image globally has taken a deep hit during President George W. Bush's two terms in office, primarily because of opposition to the U.S. invasion of Iraq, harsh interrogation of prisoners, the indefinite detention of terrorist suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and mistreatment of inmates at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.What absolute crap.
But, get this... The AP is also reporting that The Messiah is going to change all of that.
NewsBusters reported on the cheerleading:
Here we go again. To the AP the Muslim world is all mad at us because of George W. Bush. But not a word is written by the AP about The many thousands of atrocities, provocations, declarations of war, and terrorist actions by Muslims across the globe against Americans and westerners or anyone else for that matter. No, according to the AP the whole focus on why there is a conflict between the US and the Muslim world is all because of George W. Bush.Good luck with that, Barack.
But, the sun will come up tomorrow because The Lightworker is coming to town...
Obama promised during his campaign that one of his top priorities would be to work to repair America's reputation worldwide, and that one element of that effort would be a speech delivered in a Muslim capital.
When the radical Islamists explode their next mentally challenged suicider or blow up a meeting in Europe the AP is going to have a hard time placing the blame on Bush.
"The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money."

Instead of moving forward, it seems as if San Antonio is trying to turn back the clock thinking that they still have a shot at another NBA title with Duncan back. Unfortunately that is farther from the truth as San Antonio already proved in the last three seasons that its window of opportunity to win a title had all but closed. Instead of giving the organization a sense of closure, last season phenomenal playoff performance actually has done the opposite giving management a false sense of hope with the delusion that they can still do it again. Last season was probably the best that San Antonio could have ever done and with a core of players whose average age is 34 years old, it seems that the only place the Spurs will be going is down. Although that is not to say that the Spurs will just collapse all of a sudden—they will still continue to win 50 or more games for years to come; however, by signing Duncan they did themselves a disservice as they essentially mortgaged their future on his aging and war weary shoulders. And it is such a letdown considering the fact that the Spurs have a group of young and up and coming player ready willing and able to be handed the baton.

Ordinary SuperherosPosted Tuesday, September 8, 2009, at 11:32 AM
You don't need Spandex!
All these superheros have something in common, they all have their weaknesses and strengths.
Some have fears, some can be felled by Kryptonite, and others have self-esteem issues.
Sometimes I watch a movie with a superhero and wish, Man I wish I could do that!
How many times I wished I could move the guy in front of me out of the way, when he pulls out in traffic and then drives 20 MPH.
Wonder twin powers activate!
But as I look around at people I realize that I have met some superheros just sans spandex.
I know a lady who has a special needs son, who with great personal sacrifice, she helps others with their needs.
She is disabled too and in pain quite a bit of time, but you'd never know. Superhero.
Or the young man, raising his two daughters alone, going to school and working. Doing his best for these girls, no matter what.
They will have a good home. Superhero.
I have seen seniors that sacrifice of themselves for family and grandchildren.
Raising them as their own when they aught to be cruising in a sweet retirement vehicle chilling out.
It take superhero patience to deal with rude people as you are checking them out, (for 5.25 a hour), at a big retailer that won't give you insurance.
Ordinary folks doing super ordinary things.
I think of the two brothers, John and Joel Rechlitz who pull a child out of a burning vehicle with no thought of their own safety.
Heros, superheros.
Maybe you have met one. Could be your mother, grandfather or the nice young man that works at the UGO.
We all have a quality inside of us, born of God and ready to be activated.
If you see someone that you know, that has done something super for you or others, tell them so.
Thank our volunteer firefighters, who go back into the burning home to rescue a child's pet.
The nurse, who stays a little longer to make certain the child requiring a emergency appendectomy is settled in and not afraid anymore.
The elderly man who takes the time to teach a young man, without a father, about cars.
The teen that takes time to help the smaller child, rescuing him from his peers picking on him.
I have several people on my mind and heart.. Who can you send a note or a hug to today?
It really matters, sometimes more than you know.
Superheros get burnt out and depressed in the daily act of giving. Let's lift them up and pass along that gift, it is in you.

Extremely heart-felt and well written blog. I have several "every-day heros" in my life too...my mother, my husband, my children, my fellow educators who give of themselves to teach others, and so many more. Bless them all!

I will always consider my father the superhero in my life and I will always look up to him and hope to aspire to be like him one day. Even when he was blind and had failing health, he never gave up on taking care of me as a single parent and always provided me with a loving home and knew that I was always special to him. I wish all children could have such an amazing father like I did. :-)

My parents! Not only did they provide for us, but their example of hard work and determination has been instilled in all six of us! The importance of an education, the voice to speak out when something is so wrong, diversity, all people are equal, my mother never missed a play at the local playhouse. When my father got dressed for church on Sunday, he'd say.."watch out, I'm so sharp, I'll cut ya." My father gave us a sense of responsiblity and your shoes speak volumns of the person walking in them. The invaluable art of quick wit, compassion, and control. We traveled all over the country, I sometimes went to three different schools a year! Thanks mom and dad, for showing us there's a big world out there beyond our noses!!

You guys have some great memories. Jaxspike what a amazing man! Freedom your parents sound so great! Man, I do wish everyone could have great parents like you all have had.

This conference is so weak. The team that gets that second wild card spot will almost definitely not be that good.
We have a very easy schedule coming up (games against STL, ARI, JAC, TEN, I've only seen them once this year but I don't think that highly of SD at all, BUF) and who knows, maybe it still can be us stumbling across the finish line.

Drop a pile of spinach on that turkey burger, or sauté it with some garlic for a great side for fish. Adding spinach into soup or on top of a light pizza can be an alternative for those who aren't a fan of leafy greens.
No matter how you get it, spinach is one of the most palatable and readily available sources of antioxidants and potassium.
No. 1: Oatmeal
It's possible the quote, "Oh boy, oatmeal!" has never been uttered, but anyone looking to eat with their heart in mind should try to say it.
Sure, oatmeal gets a bad wrap; you could be eating it on a speed boat and still be bored. But with a little spice, some crunch and taste of sweetness, that oatmeal will be at the top of your heart-healthy breakfast menu.
Like other heart-healthy foods, oatmeal lowers bad LDL cholesterol and is filled with cholesterol-absorbing fiber.
The best thing about oatmeal is that you can add just about anything, and it's still a good hot breakfast. Cinnamon and raisins are a popular way to kick up the taste. But almonds, walnuts and even soy nuts can really bring some texture.
It might sound simple, but a simple bowl of oatmeal with some honey and a piece of toast can be a great staple breakfast -- and one that won't clog arteries like bacon and eggs.

From Wire and Staff Reports
Gloucester Daily Times
---- — BOSTON — A push to repeal the new sales tax on computer and software design services through a ballot initiative cleared its first hurdle on Wednesday as a summit between Beacon Hill officials and tech industry leaders broke apart with no agreement from lawmakers to readdress the controversial tax.
The much-anticipated meeting between Gov. Deval Patrick, legislative leaders and technology sector executives ended last week after about 90 minutes, and attendees scattered from the governor's office as an expected press conference with participants was waived off by the governor's staff.
Opponents of the tax received welcome news from Attorney General Martha Coakley who announced she had certified a proposed ballot question to repeal the tax in 2014, allowing proponents to proceed with the signature-gathering phase of the petition process. House Minority Leader Brad Jones reiterated that Republican lawmakers would also continue their "quest" to repeal the tax in the legislative arena.
Among those pushing for a legislative repeal of the tax are Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr, who has called the tax a "job killer" and joined Jones earlier in a roundtable discussion to determine how best to target a measure that's been met with confusion on the part of businesses and lawmakers alike.
Meanwhile, Patrick, House Speaker Robert DeLeo and Senate President Therese Murray met with seven tech leaders to discuss the news sales tax on computer and software design services, which was included in the Legislature's $500 million revenue package to finance state budget and transportation investments.
"We engaged in a very thoughtful and informative discussion with a number of business leaders in today's meeting with Gov. Patrick," DeLeo and Murray said in a joint statement. "We look forward to continuing these conversations and talking with our members in the House and Senate,"
Andy Singleton, the CEO of the Needham-based software design firm Assembla, said that, "as a guy who works in the tech sector, we did want to figure out if the legislative leaders were hearing anything we're saying about the difficulty complying with this tax and I'm satisfied they did listen to us and they did understand the difficulty."
"The governor made clear that he wants to fund his transportation initiative, so that's where we left it," Singleton said.
Michael Widmer, president of the Massachusetts Taxpayer Foundation, told the State House News Service in a phone interview after the meeting that Patrick had opened the meeting by telling those in attendance he hoped to have experts describe the perceived problems, complexities and potential impact on the innovation economy that could stem from the new tax. Legislative leaders listened, but gave no signals about next steps, according to two attendees.
Widmer said the message conveyed by him and other tech leaders was that the tax needs to be repealed because "it's just not fixable."
Singleton said options of repealing or clarifying the language of the tax were all discussed, but legislative leaders made no commitment to revisit the issue, which would entail reopening partisan divides over taxation.
"There was only a sense that they're willing to work on this issue within the parameters that the governor and the legislators previously set, which is that they would like to fund their transportation initiative," Singleton said. "That's the way I understood it."
Singleton said he supports repealing the software sales tax.
"I personally believe the law should be repealed," he said. "It's going to very difficult to fix. It's too vague. It says some bad things about the state of Massachusetts."

Looking for a good Power Programmer for my 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?
I have not happy with the power that my chevy puts out when going up hills. I have been doing reaserch about different power programmers and would like some input as to what you think or have used. I have the 4.8L v8 and have to keep my foot flored to climb hills just to take the highway out of the hot phoenix valley. Can anyone please help with their opinions. Thank you.

Welcome to the GMTC. In my opinion the Edge programmer is great, I have one the Edge CS and I love it. I have not had any others so I can't compare from experience but I can tell you I did allot of research and reading reviews before purchasing mine and I could not be happier. Further more it is more impressive that I expected and the customer service is unbelievable. They are a little pricey compared to some others but you get what you pay for. Check them out. If someone says they know of a better programmer ask them if they have had the Edge. http://www.edgeproducts.com/ Good luck and welcome to the club.
A programmer that can handle custom tunes in addition to its canned tunes allows you to see immediate gains from the canned tunes on the handheld device ... until such time as you elect to get a custom tune done for your truck in order to maximize your improvement. Every truck is a little bit different, so to gain the most from a programmer you need a custom tune specific to your truck, not some canned tune intended to generically work well on all trucks. Thus, I am a strong supporter of Diablosport devices. A custom tune can be had for as little as $135.00 once you own one ... and Diablew (a supporter of this site and a tuner who does custom tunes) has bundled device and tune packages. He can be reached via PM on this site if you have questions; he goes by @06MonteSS, here.
P.S. I am in no way affiliated with Diablosport; I'm simply a happy owner of one of their devices and a custom tune by Diablew.

yes, a diablosport programmer can definitely help to wake you the truck up!!! LOL....
comes with preset tunes on it that will help to get you some better response and performance.. and as Surreal has mentioned, you can also get custom tuning done for it (which you can't with other handhelds ;) ) and you can gain even more... I've done custom tunes for hundreds and hundreds of these trucks...
and as far as gains go... yes - absolute hp/tq gains are hard to predict... every vehicle is different... even if they're the same and have similar mods... location/weather, fuel used, elevation/altitude, etc etc all play a role... the same holds true for mileage gains - those variables, plus driving habits/style, highway/city, etc all make a difference.... you could gain no mpg increase, or you could gain up to about 3 mpg increase... tough to say due to the variables in play... and the lift and bigger, heaver wheels & tires don't help, haha....
and I CAN tell you with confidence with the custom tuning, that you will have a very noticable performance difference/gain over and above the canned preset diablo tunes...
With the custom tune, you'll gain even better/quicker throttle response & acceleration, stronger/harder pull, smoother & quicker power delivery throughout the rpms, etc... and sometimes, maybe even a little better gas mileage - if you can keep your foot out of it! hahaha...
I have gained people anywhere from 15-39hp, and 12-23lb. ft. torque...and 0 to 3.5 mpg... (and that's over and above the gains already obtained from the preset tunes)... again, obviously mods, fuel used, etc all played a role in who gained what...
the Diablosport Trinity is really what you'd want...
the Trinity has the tcm/tranny support and the tranny changes are nice. quicker, firmer shifts, you can adjust the shift points, firmness, etc.. it has much better data logging... has a windshield mount (like a gps), a bigger, color touch screen so it's easier to go through while it's mounted... you can watch/view the data without having to hold it, since it's mounted to the windshield... there's also an available gauge pod mount adapter for it, so if you have a gauge pod like on your a-pillar, you could mount it right in there with the pod mount... the Trinity will also get an update in the future that will allow you tune more than one vehicle at a time with it...
But, the inTune will also work for your truck, and will be getting an update for it in the near future that will let you change/adjust tcm/tranny parameters as well... but right now, the inTune does not have tcm/tranny support.
as for the difference between the two... I actually have both the inTune and Trinity for my car... engine tune wise, the tunes are the same. but, the Trinity has the tcm/tranny support and the tranny changes are nice. quicker, firmer shifts, you can adjust the shift points, firmness, etc.. the inTune does not have tcm/tranny support yet - but it is supposed to be getting an update in the near future that will add it. I also like the Trinity better for data logging - the logging is better, and since it has a windshield mount (like a gps), a bigger, color screen, so it's easier to go through while it's mounted... you can watch/view the data without having to hold it, since it's mounted to the windshield... there's also an available gauge pod mount adapter for it, so if you have a gauge pod like on your a-pillar, you could mount it right in there with the pod mount... the inTune does not have a mount, so you have to hold it or put it on the seat next to you, it's a little harder to figure out and find where the parameters are to log, etc... the Trinity will also get an update in the future that will allow you tune more than one vehicle at a time with it... again, these are MY personal preferences... other people like the smaller intune better (it's the size of a credit card), and having to hold it or lay it on the seat may be no big deal to them... but for me, for my own personal preferences, I like the Trinity better...
So really, it's up to you
I sell both the inTune and Trinity programmers, and I also offer a package deal for them that includes my custom tuning at a reduced rate, so you'd save money. Here's info:
and please, feel free to hit me up with any questions you may have... I'm more than happy to help out any way that I can...

Gov. Rick Perry inspected the water levels at Lake Travis and then urged voters to approve proposition 6, the water project funding program that would pay for the next 50 years of water projects in the state that is up for a vote on this November's ballot.
Prop. 6 would take $2 billion from the Rainy Day Fund and place it in a separate fund which would then be loaned out to organizations around the state to fund water projects. Those organizations would then pay back the loan with interest to keep the fund going.
Two of Halloween's cinematic traditional favorites take the stage -- together in a sense -- at Fredericksburg Road's Deco District Woodlawn Theater.
"Right now we have a family friendly production of Mel Brooks' 'Young Frankenstein' and it plays on Friday and Saturday nights at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at three," said Artistic Director Greg Hinojosa
And then things take a turn towards the Frankenstinian with the crowd-favorite "Rocky Horror Picture Show."
The Playhouse San Antonio is taking on "Les Miserables," a production on the largest of scales.
"'Les Mis' is obviously the most epic musical ever, and this is one of those musicals where every actor, every designer, every director has wanted to do their whole lives," said Playhouse CEO Asia Ciaravino.
Set in the first half of 1800s France, this production has connected with audiences for decades because of its evergreen human themes.
In the first segment:
"The question is not how is the judiciary? We must ask instead whether our system of justice is working for the people it has promised to serve. Do we have liberty and justice for all? Or have we come to accept liberty and justice only for some?" - Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson's State of the Judiciary, March 2013.
"The question is not how is the judiciary? We must ask instead whether our system of justice is working for the people it has promised to serve. Do we have liberty and justice for all? Or have we come to accept liberty and justice only for some?" - Chief Justice Wallace Jefferson's State of the Judiciary, March 2013.
(Oct. 14)***There were several errors in the original reporting of this story as it pertains to Kathie Glass: Glass is a Libertarian candidate and is not running in the Republican primary for governor in 2014. When Glass ran for governor in 2010, she also did so on the Libertarian ticket. Tom Glass, who is her husband and vice-chairman of the Texas Libertarian Party, brought these errors to our attention (see comment below story). An on-air correction will also be made for this story
Today a space craft launched in 2011 will briefly return to earth to slingshot around the planet so it can reach its final destination of Jupiter. Much of mission is being overseen by officials at Southwest Research Institute, which is located here in San Antonio.
State and local officials gathered at Port San Antonio Tuesday to celebrate the extension of 36th Street through the former Kelly Air Force Base.
State Rep. Philip Cortez, D-San Antonio, said the road's extension is critical to the growth of San Antonio's aerospace industry.
"When I see this extension and I see everything's that happening here at Port San Antonio I think of one thing," Cortez said, "and that's jobs."
Cortez said the extension is expected to add as many as 8,000 new jobs and ultimately will extend two more miles to access Military Drive and I-35.
A Houston-area compounding pharmacy has sent a letter asking the state to return the drugs it sold the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for death row executions.
The name of the drug is pentobarbital and it has been a hard item for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to track down after the state's overseas sellers backed out of their contract to sell the drug used in lethal injections.
In the next two years voters will be deciding two propositions that take a percentage from the oil and gas tax money helping grow the state's Rainy Day Fund.
The first of those is up for a vote this November and would take $2 billion out of the fund to help pay for water projects. The second proposition, which will be on the 2014 ballot, will take $1 billion to fund transportation projects.
According to court documents, San Antonio attorney Michael McCrum, who was appointed as the special prosecutor in the criminal bribery case against Perry, has requested money from the court to pay for an investigator and court researcher.
