Oh boy. Someone suffers from genre confusion. Thats what brutal death metal logos look like. Like Cerebral Bore and Abominable Putridity. What you're probably referring to as " ******** " is actually ****** emo kid deathcore The Devil Wears Prada and Emmure. ******** is actually what Minor Threat started, and has continued today with bands like Agnostic Front, Hatebreed, etc.

I didn't think anyone would actually defend TDWP. They're mediocre. Song names like "html roolz dude." And they're uptight religious pricks. They somehow ended up touring with Behemoth, and dropped out because they don't like what Behemoth has to say about Christianity.

Oh, boy. Someone suffers from being a standoffish ****** . ******** is not a genre. Deathcore is not a genre. Deathcore is what ****** scenester and emo kids call their music because it sounds brutal to them. I understand that death metal and grindcore bands and the like use these logos. One of my personal favorites is Waking the Cadaver; I can actually read that one. The term " ******** " was never meant to be used as a genre because it is not a genre.
#372 to #78 - Thestyrofoampeanut (06/27/2012) [-]
Calling me "kiddo" will not make you seem older or more ****** than me. You are probably anywhere from 10-15 years old. Just like you at that age, I started listening to music that was as ******** as possible because it made me feel cool. Then I started insulting others to make my music seem more brutal, and when you try to put up a bunch of ******** by naming random band names with made up genres, you do exactly the same. ******** is, once again, not a genre. It is certainly not a subgenre of punk. On your side note, no, I do not like that band. I was being sarcastic; I only like their logo because I can actually read it.

Wyoming's pile of coal

This month, Wyoming coal companies will pull the 10 billionth ton of coal from the state's ground, according to a recent estimate by the Wyoming State Geological Survey. If all that ancient metamorphosed swamp were put in a 100-foot high pile, it would stretch across a 12-by-12-mile square of prairie.
WSGS based the 10-billion ton milestone on detailed records the state has kept since 1865, shown on the graph below. What I learned from WSGS's coal history archive and from talking to WSGS coal geologist Chris Carroll is that coal's ebb and flow over the years tells a story much larger than numbers marked on a chart. Although we tend to think of our prodigious coal consumption as a sudden, intractable habit, Wyoming coal -- which is a big chunk of the country's coal -- has changed constantly over the years, adapting to new technologies, wars, laws and the vagaries of economics.
What you'll probably notice first on the graph is the massive rise in production starting in the 1970s. But for the moment, look to the seemingly empty left part of the graph. The whistle of the Union Pacific Railroad sounded in southern Wyoming in 1867, and coal mining commenced on railroad-owned lands granted by the federal government. The coal primarily fueled the steam engines. Miners lived in company towns and courted death each day in underground mines. Nine mine disasters between 1886 and 1924 killed 328 people. The danger and low wages periodically triggered strikes, including one in 1885 when miners burned the homes of 74 Chinese families who were working as strikebreakers.
The first noticeable blips on the graph mark the years of World War I and World War II. During this period, the major use of coal was for industrial processes like firing blast furnaces to make steel, which ramped up during war efforts. According to Energy Information Agency data (graph below), it wasn't until the late 1950s that more coal was used by power plants than by industry.
Coal use predictably tapered off during the Great Depression, but its decline after World War II was more complicated. By the 1950s, coal was already the primary source of electricity, climbing above hydro power. But overall coal use in Wyoming declined during the 1950s as coal fell out of fashion for home heating and other domestic uses, in favor of natural gas (second graph below). Even so, the average home relied more on burning coal than using electricity (in terms of raw energy units) until nearly 1960.
As electricity use climbed steadily from the 1950s on, advances in coal-burning technology made coal more attractive as a fuel for electric generation. A few smaller coal-fired plants had been constructed in Wyoming starting the late 1940s. But in the 1970s, huge new plants were built to supply not only local demand, but that of the whole northwest region, and coal production hockey-sticked as a result.
The 1970s coal-plant building spree was stoked not only by rising electricity demand, but by the energy crisis kicked off by the 1973 oil embargo. The federal government saw in Wyoming a ripe and bountiful supply of domestic energy. To the horror of conservation groups and ranchers, the Bureau of Reclamation proposed building 42 coal-fired plants near the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and Montana to feed the nation's seemingly insatiable energy appetite, and plans abounded for synthesizing coal into gasoline substitute.
As the foreign energy squeeze eased and energy consumption leveled off, however, most of these coal-plant and coal-gasification projects never materialized. The energy boom inevitably gave way to bust in the mid 1980s, and Wyoming coal production sputtered. But in 1990, it hit its next boom when the demand for Wyoming's low-sulfur coal skyrocketed after Congress amended the Clean Air Act to address acid rain, which in the northeast United States, especially, had become a major problem. As of 2011, 35 states got coal from Wyoming.
Wyoming coal production climbed through the 1990s and early 2000s, then fell significantly for the first time since the 1970s. Rising natural gas prices, which initially helped keep demand for coal high, eventually paved the way for a gas drilling boom. Aided by new drilling technologies that helped open previously unexplored gas fields, natural gas extraction has taken off, dropping the price precipitously. As a result, natural gas has steadily replaced coal for electricity generation since 2008 (see HCN 11/12/12 "Economics, not environmental regs, are battering coal power")
That's been good news for those concerned about human-caused climate change. "Public enemy No. 1 is burning coal" was what Steven Running, a University of Montana climate change researcher, told those gathered at a recent rally in Missoula. Coal companies have a different outlook. "The (coal mining) industry looks forward to supplying power from Wyoming coal ... for the next 100 years," said Marion Loomis, executive director of the Wyoming Mining Association, in a press release issued by Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead's office in response to the 10 billion-ton milestone. Company profits would benefit from this vision of stable coal consumption. But if Wyoming coal's history is any lesson, its future is anything but certain.

Pauls Valley Democrat
Pauls Valley, Oklahoma — There are many tales woven for an infinite number of performance venues with nothing worth remembering in its original form, but carried nonetheless by just the right cast. Countless are the examples, featuring a couple of actors in today's discussion, where their portrayal is so transforming that what should have been a bland experience in the beginning becomes a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
It's not that I would even necessarily avoid a flick like this, but said actors have proven they can bring entertainment value to just about any project already and made it an easy choice at least for a few laughs. As it turned out, the choice delivered chuckles and a moment's distraction in just as quirky a style as I would have expected given the talents. "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" may have lacked a few elements from even being the best of its category for the year, but there's probably something to like for just about any audience member as long as they haven't outgrown magic.
The story kicks off telling the tale of two very awkward young boys, Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carrel) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi), both who can't seem to make friends or avoid being bullied at every turn. They form their own friendship through their personality quirks and really hit it off when Burt gets a magic kit created by the famous magician Rance Holloway (Alan Arkin), vowing to wow the world with their own unique tricks.
Eventually the two guys grow up and end up in about the only place one could have a chance at being fabulously wealthy in the profession, Las Vegas, with their own regular show thanks to a hotel manager named Doug Munny (James Gandolfini). However, their friendship eventually starts to fade as Burt's ego grows with fame and it takes a downward plunge and the emergence of a psychopathic street magician named Steve Gray (Jim Carrey) to see how special their partnership really is. It's almost as if someone had a plot for a magic related sitcom that Jerry Seinfeld wouldn't do, but is still often hilarious and died in the pilot episode.
The three strongest performances come from Arkin, Carrey and Carrel as well as their relationships between each other and would be quite a trio to include if they could be combined for future projects (though Carrel and Carrey were already awesome before in Bruce Almighty). It was one of Carrey's best whacky roles in quite some time and a shame more could not have been done to expand it.
As a result it's a relatively tame affair for most ages, with the most severe adult content more on a suggestive than visual level. It's not necessarily a must own, but I wouldn't turn down an opportunity to share it with friends later. Thus I bestow upon "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" three out of five illusions.

Bills' offense bottled up again

Despite having Jackson back, Gailey said C.J. Spiller will remain the starter and get a majority of playing time. That's a switch in philosophy after the two had been splitting time before Jackson was hurt in a 37-31 loss at New England on Nov. 11.
Jackson's status is uncertain as he continues to recover from a concussion.||||||| Jackson, who missed Thursday's win, attended an offensive walk-through session on Monday, but has not yet been cleared for contact.

Hutch news is good news
No news is bad news in the newspaper business. So Tim Hutchison's entry into the county mayor race is certainly good news. It would have been a shame to have had an uncontested contest for the office at the top of the local ticket in 2010.
As I wrote in a column a couple of months ago advocating a Tim-Tim race, a showdown between Burchett and Hutchison should provide a rich debate on the direction Knox County should take.
By the way, if I'd have been on the ball, I might have noticed that the TimHutchisonformayor.com domain name was registered last May. Unfortunately for Hutch, the shorter Hutchformayor.com and Hutchisonformayor.com are unavailable. They're held by Fairbanks, Alaska, borough Mayor Garry Hutchison.
It will be interesting to see if our own Hutch runs against the News Sentinel as well as his fellow Tim. The former sheriff was often at odds with the newspaper during his days in office. He did not return a phone call seeking comment on our first story of this new campaign. I hope that's not an omen.

Blog Reboot (Again)
And we're off with another reboot of my personal website and blog. As in the past my intentions are good and my ambitions are high. Hopefully this time, however, I'll have more luck actually following through. That's the idea anyway. I've got some ideas for new posts and I'm planning to be a little more open in general. Probably mostly about my professional life, but who knows. The two worlds merge quite regularly so we'll see.
This site is pretty barebones at the moment and that is intentional. There won't ever be a lot of bells and whistles, but improvements will most definitely happen. Most notably, I'm still migrating content so you'll notice some new (er old actually) things pop up here once in a while. The Reviews section is where this will be most noticeable right now. There are a few reviews there now and I'm slowly adding all of the reviews that I've written on a whole pile of apps. And of course, you'll see actual new reviews and actual new other posts as well.
Ok…here we go (again).

French Department Oise Donates Laptops to Schools
By 2011, the French Department Oise will supply 55.000 laptops free of charge to fourth, fifth and sixth grade pupils, with teachers and libraries also benefiting.
According to Project Ordi60, the Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-228 laptops come with a Dual Core T3200 processor, 15.4 inch display (1280x800 pixel), 2 GB RAM, 120 MB hard drive, WLAN 802.11 b/g, a webcam, DVD burner, fast Ethernet card and USB pen drive.
Although the laptops will run on proprietary systems, (Windows Vista), 85% of programs included in the package are free software: OpenOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, Gimp and Pidgin among them. A complete list of software in French is available here. All together, the laptop comes with 60 educational applications.
Ordi60 has closed deals with Toshiba and nine French IT companies, including support for the laptops. The project is estimated to cost 28 million Euro, with the laptops retailing at 1350 Euro. Due to the large number of laptops however, Oise's purchase cost just 466 Euro each.
Besides the laptops, the regional council wants to open two public computer laboratories. It is currently unclear if Toshiba is producing the laptop as an individual model specifically for the Ordi60 project, or if there's been a printing error: could they mean the L300-128?
The project will run over three years with 22.000 laptops going to fourth and fifth grade pupils in 2009. A further 22.000 will then be supplied to fifth and sixth graders, with another 11.000 for the sixth grade by 2011. A speaker for the project emphasized that the choice of open software was not entirely a priority, rather they looked for educational software like encyclopedias and dictionaries. They also wanted to use software developed by teachers and the education ministries. Open source software is simply an educational aid for pupils.

From staff, AP reports
When it comes to gun controls, federal proposals and those by state legislatures in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma are headed in opposite directions.
The deaths at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., and other recent shootings have brought calls from President Barack Obama for bans on assault weapons and high capacity gun magazines, as well as other controls.
Federal lawmakers from the region are lining up on the other side of that argument. The same with state legislatures in Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma. Lawmakers in all three states have before them proposals that would bar or restrict the federal regulation of firearms or ammunition.
Of 35 bills assigned to the General Laws Committee of the Missouri House of Representatives, 21 involve guns or gun rights. A few, in reaction to recent school shootings and other gun violence, would limit the possession of some guns. But the majority propose to protect gun rights or further expand them in the state.
Every member of the Joplin-area delegation in the House has signed on as a co-sponsor to a bill that would bar state and county officials from enforcing any federal law or regulation on firearms or ammunition manufactured in the state. The measure, sponsored by Rep. Casey Guernsey, R-Bethany, would also make any rule or law enacted after Jan. 1 unenforceable in the state.
Sen. Ron Richard, R-Joplin, who is majority floor leader in the Senate, said he sees "absolutely no chance" that any measure restricting gun ownership would pass in this session of the General Assembly. At the same time, Richard said he's not heard much in the Senate about Guernsey's bill aimed at limiting firearms restrictions by the federal government.
"Most of that talk's in the House, and I'm not even sure the state can do that," he said.
A Senate committee is considering a state constitutional amendment to broaden the right to bear arms by specifying that it is "inalienable."
An Oklahoma House Committee on Wednesday unanimously endorsed the "Oklahoma Firearms Freedom Act" that would exempt guns or ammunition made in the state from federal regulations, and several lawmakers have written to gun manufacturers, inviting them to Oklahoma. Another bill would bar any federal gun regulation in the state.
In Kansas, the House Federal and State Affairs Committee heard testimony in favor of a measure declaring that the federal government has no power to regulate firearms, ammunition or gun accessories manufactured and sold only in Kansas.
The same bill would make it a felony for an agent of the federal government to attempt to enforce a federal law, regulation or treaty restricting access to firearms, ammunition or accessories manufactured, sold and kept within Kansas. Also, the measure would limit the circumstances in which doctors could quiz their patients on whether they have guns in their homes. The proposed "Second Amendment Protection Act" heard Tuesday by the House committee has drawn little opposition so far.
In the Missouri House, a Democratic legislator's proposal to ban the sale of assault weapons drew a less-than-measured response from two Republican lawmakers — one proposing a bill that criminalizes proposing gun control legislation and another posting a YouTube video showing a handgun firing repeatedly at a copy of the restrictive bill.
State Rep. Bill White, R-Joplin, said he has received a lot of calls from constituents about the assault weapons bill and has told constituents not to worry about it being approved.
"I've gotten more calls and emails on this than any two other things for as long as I've been up here," he said Friday. "If it ever made it out of committee, it would just get beat up on the floor. No Republicans are supporting it, and the conservative Democrats don't like it either."
There have been no proposals for gun restrictions in the Oklahoma House and Rep. Larry Glenn, D-Miami, said he did not expect to see any this session.
Glenn said he personally had some concerns about background checks to ensure the mental health of the gun purchaser and said he believes the requirement should be extended to sales at gun shows.
"There should be more background checks," said Glenn, a former Ottawa County undersheriff. "But I don't think Oklahoma will stand for anything that limits the rights of gun owners."
Among federal lawmakers from the region, all are citing the Second Amendment — including Democrat Claire McCaskill.
John Pusateri, spokesman for the senator, said McCaskill favors measures such as universal background checks.
"At the same time, Claire will continue to support and defend Missourians' Second Amendment rights," he said.
Sen. Roy Blunt has rejected the president's calls for more gun controls, as has U.S. Rep. Billy Long.
While calling gun controls "the wrong approach," Long said the issue deserves serious study to develop a strategy that will make Americans safer.
"The fact is the police are not always going to be able to respond in time to stop someone who is determined to kill. This is especially true in rural areas like much of Southwest Missouri, where big distances separate the farmhouse from the police station," Long said. "It would be a step in the wrong direction to infringe on the right of the American people to defend themselves and their families. I can't support any measure that would take us backward by violating the Second Amendment."
Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri rank low in ratings given by The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. The group in 2011 gave Missouri and Kansas scores of 4 each, and Oklahoma a 2 rating out of a possible 100 points on a scale rating laws and regulations to prevent gun violence. California got the highest rating, at 81, while Arizona, Alaska and Utah received 0 ratings.

Thread: Date Night for Congress as Republicans and Democrats plan to partner up at the State of the Union Address
Date Night for Congress as Republicans and Democrats plan to partner up at the State of the Union AddressWill Tuesday be "Date Night" in Congress for President Barack Obama's State of the Union address?
Democratic and Republican legislators are pairing off to sit together for the annual speech in a symbolic gesture of bipartisanship, and some of the combinations so far are intriguing.
Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York, the epitome of East Coast liberalism, and Republican Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, a symbol of conservative intransigence, are putting aside their differences to cross the political aisle for a night, Schumer said Sunday.

"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."

01-25-11, 09:24 PM #6Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) joked he got dumped.
"I don't have a date [for the State of the Union]. I got dumped," Van Hollen told The Hill on Monday. Van Hollen's originally planned to go with Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) but now Ryan is giving the Republican response to the speech.
"Looks like I'm going stag. Maybe I'll look for another date," Van Hollen said with smile and a good-natured laugh.
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R.-Minn.) has not been asked to sit with any Democrats yet. "I am a free agent," she said.
And Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) took to Twitter to bemoan his lack of a date.
"So I don't have a date to SOTU. Oh, how it is to be the ugly conservative," Chaffetz tweeted Monday.
Later he joked: "Perhaps the First Lady needs a date?"
Second-term Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.), who starred in a 2009 CNN series with Chaffetz about congressional freshmen, tweeted they could sit together:
"I'll be sitting with the R & D CO delegation, but u can join us, UT is a neighboring state!" he wrote.
Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, and Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La.
While these lawmakers are on different sides of the aisle, they work together on the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee and aren't considered sharp political adversaries.
Quoted: "I asked one of my best girlfriends to be my date for the night," Landrieu told The New York Times of her choice of Snowe. "Of course, we share the Small Business Committee."Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore.
Grassley and Wyden are part of a bipartisan group of lawmakers pushing to end the Senate's so-called "secret holds" -- a practice that allows one or more lawmakers to anonymously prevent a motion from reaching a vote.
Quoted: Grassley told his Twitter followers: "My date for State of Union is Sen Wyden. My partner in fight agst secret holds. He invited."
Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., and Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
Durbin is the Senate's No. 2 Democrat. Kirk is a centrist Republican and veteran of the House who fought off a tough election challenge from state treasurer and Obama-insider Alexi Giannoulias in November 2010 in the race to fill President Obama's old Senate seat.
Quoted: "I'm bringing the popcorn; he's bringing a Coke with two straws," Durbin said on Fox News Sunday. "Just kidding, of course."
Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., and Rep. Pete King, R- N.Y.
The two lawmakers from New York got into a shouting match last summer on the House floor over the 9/11 first responders bill. According to Politico, King's wife suggested the two sit together, calling them two of the "biggest loudmouths" in the House.
Quoted: "To me, this is really stretching the outer limits of civility for Weiner and I to be sitting together," King told Politico. "He wants to sit on the GOP side with me, so I guess for one night he can pretend he's in the majority." Adds Weiner: "It's a nice thing. I'm going to be sitting on the Republican side, so not only will Peter King be my date, he may be my security detail also."
Not taking part so far: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell who said Sunday he would "sit where I usually sit." Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said that the plan should be given "serious consideration."
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor has invited House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi to sit with him during the speech. The former Speaker of the House tweeted that while she thanked the GOP leader for his offer, she had already invited Rep. Roscoe Barlett, R-Md., to be her seating partner:"I thank @GOPLeader for his #SOTU offer, but I invited my friend Rep. Bartlett from MD yesterday & am pleased he accepted."

Obamacare dysfunction, fundamental government issues, public interest and marriage
Today's news and commentator Cal Thomas on the mistreatment of the Obamacare issues, plus: TW&E reporter Jim Henry on the issues behind the healthcare rollout, a discussion on whether the public interest is benefitted by traditional marriage, feedback from TW&E listeners, and more
Program Segments
Wednesday news
Obamacare dysfunction: Renewed calls for a delay of the healthcare mandate, which threatens fines, as the rollout of Obamacare's online storefront continues to be confusing and chaotic. Nearly a month after enrollment opened, it is still unknown when the system will be fixed. Consumer Reports magazine recently warned its readers to stay away from Healthcare.gov for at least another month.
Website breakdown: On Capitol Hill, hearings have been scheduled to look into the Obamacare breakdowns. The hearings will start with some of the contractors responsible for the rollout.
Taxpayer fraud: The Treasury Department has found that the IRS has erroneously paid out more than $132 billion dollars in earned income tax credits over the last ten years, a lot of which is due to taxpayer fraud.
Hobby Lobby: Lawyers for Hobby Lobby have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to take up their lawsuit against Obamacare's birth control mandate, which forces employers to indirectly pay for abortion causing drugs. The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the company did not have to comply.
Business/economy: Stocks were up, but it was another peculiar example of bad economic news being good news for the stock market.
Commentary: Exaggeration and understatements
Commentator Cal Thomas discusses the way in which the Obamacare fiasco has been handled by Washington.
Beyond glitches: The reasons behind the failed government healthcare website
TW&E reporter Jim Henry on the actual problems that have caused healthcare.gov to fail and states that "these problems are more than just routine website glitches; they're fundamental."
No 'public interest' served by keeping marriage as a one man, one woman institution?
In this segment, Professor Robert P. George refutes the often-expressed idea that the state has no interest in the preserving marriage as an exclusive, long-term heterosexual union.
Dr. George heads the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University, where he also serves as the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence. Robert George is also the current chairman of the U-S Commission on International Religious Freedom.

A listener in South Carolina wants to know if the title for our program comes from the Bible — and if so, from which verse?

Daily Star
---- —
Cold weather can be tough on everyone, but it is particularly tough for the older population.
The snow looks pretty, but winter can be a scary season due to increased chances of falling on snow or ice.
But there are a few things you can do to help prevent falls besides being homebound or packing up and moving to warmer climate.
Take a moment to look at your shoes and boots.
Are they worn smooth? If you can answer "yes" to this question, then it is time to purchase a new pair.
Shoes with better traction will grip the ground better; you might want to avoid dress shoes as they tend to be quite slippery.
Remember to wear proper foot wear for the winter, which should include winter boots or similar winter shoes.
Railing Check
If you have stairs with a railing leading up to the entrance of your home, have your railing checked to make sure it is sturdy.
You may ask yourself this question would it hold you if you were to slip? Could the railing catch you?
Shovel and Salt
Keep your shovel and salt in your home so it is available for you to use. What good is your shovel and salt when it is in your garage away from your home and you have to walk through the snow and ice to get to them?
Cellphone or Emergency Response System
Yes, the older population should have and carry a cellphone. If you do not have a cellphone you may want to consider getting an emergency response system installed. One may slip and fall; it can sometimes be difficult in getting back up. Carrying your cellphone or wearing an emergency response system personal help button, can give you peace of mind, knowing that you can call for assistance.
Modification of Cane
If you need a cane to assist you with walking, you can modify your cane by adding a metal grip to the bottom of your cane. The metal grip will help increase stability. In addition, you may want to take a look at the handle grip. If it is worn, take a moment to replace it, this will help you maintain your balance especially if you walk on patches of snow or ice.
Get Help
The weather can change in a matter of a few minutes. If you are walking out of a restaurant, shopping mall, church, etc. and the parking lot has turned into an ice rink, you should ask for a steady arm to help guide you. This could be a friend, a family member, employee or even a passerby walking in your direction. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
What's your plan?
During the winter months you need to think about where you are going and ask yourself, "If I were to fall, what would I do? Did I remember my cellphone? If I'm close to my home, do I have my personal emergency response help button on me?"
Slow Down
When running behind scheduled you may end up hurrying and sometimes pushing the limits of what you can handle. Allow extra time getting to your appointments, especially in inclement weather. If you are a little late it's better than rushing and causing a fall and a potentially serious injury.
Leg Strengthening
What can you do to help strengthen your leg muscles so you can catch yourself before you hit the ground? Exercising your leg muscles regularly should be done to keep them strong.
A few simple exercises you can do help strengthen your leg muscles would be to walk up and down the stairs repeatedly and/or getting up out of a chair. The best thing to strengthen your legs is use them other wise you will loose them.
Remember falls can affect seniors in many ways. If a senior falls and is injured, this can limit their confidence and ability to live independently.
My hope for each senior after reviewing these winter safety tips is that they are able to reduce if not avoid their chances of any falls.

Sneak Peek: 12 Gauge
How do you gauge the world as it screams past in a blur? You slice up the seconds and seize the day. Oakley created a new invention that uses multiple sub dials to help you get a handle on the moment. When the world sees this work of art and engineering, they'll understand what inspired it.
Put yourself in the cockpit of a speed machine and imagine all the instrumentation that speaks to you second by second, revealing itself with gauges that let you peer into the heart of performance. You don't have to be a fighter pilot or racecar driver to know that just the sight of those dials is a pure adrenalin rush. Now imagine the same thing on your wrist.
The world tends to move with velocity, so if you think it's time to take life out of the slow lane, you could probably use the calibration of fine instrumentation. It's coming soon in the time machine called 12 Gauge, the new measure of precision and mark of style.

Pella — Gerald L. Kuiper, 72, passed away following a courageous and lengthy battle with cancer on Friday, Aug. 16, 2013, at Bright Kavanagh House in Des Moines. Gerald Lee was born April 2, 1941, in Oskaloosa, to Ralph and Nellie (Van Den Berg) Kuiper. He was raised on a farm north of Pella and attended country school through the fourth grade. Gerald graduated from Pella High School in 1959 where he played football, basketball and track and earned 12 varsity letters. He was the captain and quarterback for his high school team.
Gerald met Nancy Lee Terpstra at an athletic event at Pella Christian High School and they became high school sweethearts. Following his graduation he enrolled at Iowa State University in Ames and played freshman basketball. Later he transferred to Central College in Pella where he received his degree in 1964 majoring in Physical Education and Sociology. He was the recipient of the Richard J. Mentink Award for leadership, sportsmanship and inspiration.
Gerald and Nancy were united in marriage on June 7, 1962, at the First Reformed Church in Pella. He coached football, basketball and track at the Pella and Knoxville High Schools. He later became a partner in Vic Young Sporting Goods in Des Moines; was an Adidas rep and a longtime salesman for Hopkins Sporting Goods.
He spent 20 years in Development at Central College and Progress Industries in Newton, and assisted in the development of Honey Creek Resort. He served on several boards, was a Kiwanis member, and Deacon of his church. Gerald and Nancy served as Youth Group Sponsors both in the Pella and Knoxville churches.
Another one of Gerald's enjoyments of life was officiating, both as a football referee over 26 years and as a track starter. His career spanned over 46 years and was ranked a Master Starter. He officiated many NCAA college and university track meets as well as the Nike Masters meet in Eugene, Oregon. Gerald was a starter for both the Boys and Girls State Meets; a Drake Relays official for over 30 years, served as assistant chief umpire and was an inductee into the Iowa Track Officials Association Hall of Fame, and in 2006 was inducted in the Drake Relays Wall of Honor. In 2010 he received the John Lowry Distinguished Service Award by IATO.
In 2012 the high hurdle event at the Knoxville Panther Relays was named in his honor. He was named Official of the Year on several occasions by the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union. He was a highly respected starter and thoroughly enjoyed watching the accomplishments of young athletes. This was very fulfilling to Gerald until his retirement in 2005. Gerald and Nancy were privileged to celebrate their 51st wedding anniversary in 2013, though he was facing many health challenges following a diagnosis of cancer in 1996. Gerald cherished his wife, children and grandchildren. He enjoyed attending his grandchildren's activities and events. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father and grandfather.
Those who are left to cherish his memory are his wife, Nancy, of Indianola, daughter, Lana Michele Smith and her husband, Paul, and their two children: Jay and Kaylee of Indianola; daughter, Dr. Lisa Ann Copple and her husband, Kenton, and two children: Kade and Carson of Waukee; son Thomas G. Kuiper and his wife, Tammy, and daughter Avery, 3 stepsons, Austin, Caleb and Sage of Pella; two sisters, Violet Boot and Norma Hiemstra; his mother-in-law, Pauline (Van Kooten) Terpstra, all of Pella; five sisters-in-law and four brothers-in-law: Gretta and Chester Geels of Pewaukee, Wis., Carole and Henry Stavinga of Largo, Fla., Georgia and Dr. Sander deHaan of Holland, Mich., Frances Van Waardhuizen of Farmington, Mo., and Myrna and Gerald Schuiling of Rockford, Mich.; and many special nieces and nephews, cousins, an aunt and dear friends.
Gerald was preceded in death by his parents, Ralph G. and Nellie Kuiper; his father-in-law, George A. Terpstra; his brothers-in-law: Arvin Boot, Rev. Harold Hiemstra and Charles Van Waardhuizen; three nieces: Kaylene Boot, Valerie Hiemstra and Michele Van Waardhuizen, and a nephew, Aaron Van Waardhuizen. Gerald was baptized at the Third Reformed Church and made profession of his faith at the First Reformed Church in Pella. At the time of his death he was a member of the First Christian Reformed Church in Pella.
Funeral services were held on Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2013, at the First Christian Reformed Church in Pella. Arrangements were handled by Van Dyk – Duven Funeral Home in Pella.

BOSTON, Mass. ( Ivanhoe Newswire) - While the summer Olympics start this month, the athlete you're about to meet is already training for the 2018 winter games. But an eye disease threatens to keep him from competing.
"I really just like the feeling of flying and spinning and jumping in the air and rotating as fast as you can," Adrian Huertas, told Ivanhoe. "I just think it's an amazing feeling and it is so much fun."
Figure skater Adrian Huertas has his sights set on the 2018 Olympics.
"I would really like to be part of the U.S. team," Adrian said.
But a problem with his vision could ice those dreams.
"About three years ago, I told my mom my eye was blurry and I just thought it was blurry in one eye, but it turned out to be more than that," Adrian said.
Adrian's eye doctor diagnosed him with Keratoconus, a common eye disease affecting one in two-thousand people.
"In Keratoconus the cornea becomes misshapen so that the light rays aren't focused," Kathryn Colby, M.D, PhD, a cornea surgeon at Mass. Eye and Ear and an associate professor of ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School, said.
Sometimes it can lead to blindness. The only option used to be a corneal transplant, but now as part of a clinical trial at Massachusetts Eye & Ear, Adrian tries a new treatment to save his sight called collagen cross linking.
"What this does is strengthen the structural proteins of the cornea," Dr. Colby said.
Doctors first soak the eye with the b-vitamin riboflavin. Then they apply UV light. The combination forms the cross links or bonds that strengthen the collagen molecules and stabilize the cornea.
"In Europe it's standard of care for Keratoconus," Dr. Colby said.
In a three year trial in Italy, the procedure improved vision in almost 70 percent of patients. Those are promising stats for Adrian as he eyes Olympic glory.
"Hopefully I can make it and be good enough to do it," Adrian said.
Collagen cross-linking still needs FDA approval in the states. Doctors aren't sure when that will happen. Keratoconus currently has no approved treatments in the U.S. and accounts for 15 percent of the country's corneal transplants.
BACKGROUND: Keratoconus, also known as KC is a non-inflammatory eye condition in which the normally round dome-shaped corneas become progressively thin, causing a cone-like bulge to develop. This causes distortion and reduced vision. It has been estimated to occur in 1 out of every 2,000 people. Keratoconus is generally first diagnosed in young people at puberty or in their late teens. (Source: http://www.nkcf.org)
WHAT CAUSES KC: The exact cause of keratoconus is unknown. There are many theories based on research and its association with other conditions. However, no one theory explains it all. It is believed that genetics, the environment and the endocrine system all play a role in keratoconus.
SYMPTOMS: In its earliest stages, keratoconus causes slight blurring and distortion of vision and increased sensitivity to light. These symptoms usually first appear in the late teens and early twenties. Keratoconus may progress for 10-20 years and then slow or stabilize. Each eye may be affected differently. Most people who develop Keratoconus start out nearsighted. The nearsightedness tends to become worse over time. (Source: http://www.nkcf.org)
It can usually be diagnosed with slit-lamp examination of the cornea. The most accurate test is called corneal topography, which creates a map of the curve of the cornea. When keratoconus is advanced, the cornea will be thinner at the point of the cone. This can be measured with a painless test called pachymetry. (Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
TREATMENT: In the early stages, eyeglasses or soft contact lenses may be used to correct the mild nearsightedness and astigmatism caused in the early stages of keratoconus. As the disorder progresses and the cornea continues to thin and change shape, rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses are generally prescribed to correct vision more adequately. The contact lenses must be carefully fitted, and frequent checkups and lens changes may be needed to achieve and maintain good vision. (Source: http://www.nkcf.org)
NEW TECHNOLOGY: Because numerous visits to the doctor to constantly have contacts and glasses prescriptions modified can be exhausting and not to mention frustrating, a new surgery is undergoing clinical trials at Massachusetts Eye & Ear. It's called Corneal Collagen Crosslinking (CXL). CXL works by increasing collagen crosslinks which are the natural "anchors" within the cornea. These anchors are responsible for preventing the cornea from bulging out and becoming steep and irregular. During the corneal crosslinking treatment, custom-made riboflavin drops saturate the cornea, which is then activated by ultraviolet light. This process increases the amount of collagen cross-linking in the cornea and strengthens it.(Source: http://www.nkcf.org)
Collagen crosslinking is not a cure for keratoconus. The aim of this treatment is to halt progression of keratoconus, and thereby prevent further deterioration in vision and the need for corneal transplantation. Glasses or contact lenses will still be needed following the cross-linking treatment, although a change in the prescription may be required, but it is hoped that it could limit further deterioration of vision.(Source: http://www.nkcf.org)
While crosslinking is used in virtually every country around the world, it is still in the FDA approval process in the United States. (Source: http://www.allaboutvision.com)
Kathryn Colby, MD, PhD, Cornea Surgeon, Mass. Eye and Ear, Associate Professor of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School, talks about a new treatment that could save people's sight.
What is keratoconus?
Dr. Colby: Keratoconus is a shape problem with the cornea, which is the clear front window of the eye. What the cornea does is focus light rays so we can have clear vision. In keratoconus, the cornea becomes misshapen so that the light rays aren't focused;people with keratoconus have blurry vision. It's a very common disease, about one in two thousand Americans have some form of keratoconus.
Are there different types of keratoconus?
Dr. Colby: There are different severities of keratoconus. It's all basically the same condition but some people might have just mild keratoconus where they can see pretty well with glasses and better with contact lenses. Then some people have more advanced disease where they need corneal surgery or other treatments in order to see.
So right now there's no cure for it?
Dr. Colby: There is no cure, no.
But there is a clinical trial going on?
Dr. Colby: Yes. We have a treatment called collagen cross linking. What this does is strengthen the structural proteins of the cornea. It's been done in Europe for about the last fifteen years. It is not FDA-approved in the United States yet, so we can only offer it to patients as part of a clinical study.
It's showing fantastic results right?
Dr. Colby: In Europe it's standard of care for people with keratoconus.
Does it halt the progression?
Dr. Colby: It halts the progression of the keratoconus in most cases. The earlier you get someone to get it done, the less they would have already progressed and so you could halt them at that point. In Europe they're doing all kinds of novel things that we can't even think of doing here in the US. One example is fixing the cornea with the laser and then cross linking it to make it more stable. Hopefully in the future we'll be able to do things like that but for right now, at least as part of a trial, we can offer the collagen cross linking and prevent people from getting worse.
How does it work?
Dr. Colby: Believe it or not, the exact mechanism is still somewhat of a mystery. We soak the cornea with riboflavin and then we apply UV light. The combination of the riboflavin and the UV light forms the cross links or the bonds between the collagen molecules, the structural proteins of the cornea, to prevent the bowing forward of the cornea from worsening.
It helps to strengthen that collagen?
Dr. Colby: Exactly. The analogy I like to use with patients is if you've ever seen a skyscraper going up, they put the steel beams and then they put the cross beams between the steel beams. The cross-links basically act to strengthen the structural proteins of the cornea.
It sounds like a pretty simple treatment too?
Dr. Colby: Like anything in ophthalmology you do have to have a certain skill level in order to be able to do it and prevent problems. But it really is a very straight forward treatment for the amount of benefit that is possible.
What are typical results and once they have the treatment what can they expect?
Dr. Colby: What we like to tell patients is that the goal is to prevent progression of the disease. For someone who already has keratoconus and who receives the cross-linking treatment, five years later their keratoconus should not be any worse. In the results from Europe, sometimes people actually do get a little bit better vision but that's not how we like to portray it to the people who are undergoing the trial.
This has to be very gratifying work for you correct?
Dr. Colby: It is and I don't know if you're aware but the hospital and I and one of my partners who is also participating in the trial are doing this procedure for free. It's not FDA approved so we don't really feel like it's appropriate for us to be charging patients (nor does the FDA). We are committed to being able to offer this to our patients, especially those in their teenage years, which is the group that tends to progress more rapidly. We're all committed to being able to do it as part of our trial.
Is this open nationwide?
Dr. Colby: It's a multi-center trial and other groups are participating in the trial. I would say most of them are actually charging patients to be involved in this study but again we feel like it's not an approved treatment so we really want to offer it but not have the patients have to pay for it.
Can you talk about Adrian?
Dr. Colby: I've known Adrian for a few years now and he and his mother are both very astute observers of his condition, so he had noticed things. We put him in a contact lens a few years ago, which is the first line treatment for this condition. He does okay with the contact lens but there was evidence that the keratoconus in one of his eyes was getting worse. Especially given his hope to someday skate in the Olympics, it's a nice opportunity to be able to offer him the ability to stabilize his vision where it is so it doesn't get any worse.
What would be the state of their care here now if you do have keratoconus and you're starting to go down that line?
Dr. Colby: We don't really have any treatment. We encourage patients to not rub the eye because we do know that rubbing the eyes can make the weakening of the cornea frequently. There are a number of different types of contact lenses that we can use for people with keratoconus and the vast majority do fine with a contact lens of one sort or another. I don't know if you wear contact lenses but they can be a nuisance and they are difficult to deal with. Then there are a few other types of procedures that are done. One is putting rings within the cornea. We generally haven't had dramatic improvement in patients after doing that treatment. And then finally the last treatment is replacement of the cornea in one way or another.
What would be the pitfalls of that?
Dr. Colby: The only way that we replace the cornea now is from a donor cornea from another person whose died and graciously donated their eyes to the organ bank. It's a replacement of a person's cornea with a donor cornea. They do very well but it is somebody else's cornea in your own eye and you have to use eye drops to prevent rejection of the transplant. If we can avoid having to do those transplants that would be even better.

text: The Persistent Corpses wiki last edited by fisk0 on 03/06/13 01:54PM View full history Overview In video games corpses have a tendency to disappear after a short amount of time (due typically to hardware limitations), however in certain games the corpse of a victim will remain in a fixed position without disappearing. Persistent cadavers are commonly used within the stealth genre, typically involving hiding the corpse of a victim(s) to prevent suspicion of foul play. Persistent cadavers are also a common feature of the RPG genre, generally for loots sake and the FPS genre (specifically modern FPS's due to more powerful hardware). This concept doesn't count gibs as persistent cadavers.

To the editor:
Your recent story, "Karp floats plan for hotel," on Jan. 3 brought up an interesting point. Mayor Holaday was quoted as saying that there would be opposition to a waterfront hotel plus environmental and flood plain issues on the waterfront. My question is this: How is a hotel on the waterfront with environmental and flood plain issues any different than having condos and stores and restaurants on NRA property with the same environmental and flood plain issues any different?
Also, do residents of the city realize that the present NRA waterfront plans call for the removal of a large potion of the west side of the waterfront park, a park that was built with federal and state (taxpayers') money? Even if we are gaining some land near the water, that land is dictated by the state's Chap. 91 protection.
The NRA plan also is misleading as the buildings that are shown in the NRA plan are larger and taller than the Merrimack Landing Building that is across the Street, as tall if not taller than the hose tower on the Firehouse.
Remember, when the mayor first ran for office, she was quoted as saying that as mayor she would not allow any buildings on the NRA central waterfront property. What changed her mind?

New FREE lessons! "Desert Song" and "Sovereign Hands"
I have taken classical piano lessons for 2 1/2 years and so desperately wanted to learn chord piano so I could play with our praise team at church. The girl that plays keyboard is leaving to go to college and we needed one so I prayed for answers and found your website. I just want to let you know that you are a blessing. Not only do you explain, but your cheat sheets are amazing!!! I use them all of the time. We never play songs in the keys that other bands do and being able to transpose with the nashville numbers is so handy. I am still a little rusty and need help on how to improvise or play the extra notes in between, and I suppose that is where the "going pro" section comes in handy, but just wanted to say thank you so much for taking time to do this amazing ministry for so many people. I know you have a ton of requests, but if I could request one for you to do, it would be "Lead Me To The Cross" by Chris and Conrad.

The Office of Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine's Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) has released a preliminary report regarding a July 30 standoff at a Yellow Springs residence that lasted nearly six hours.
During a morning press conference, Yellow Springs Council President Judith Hempling and Vice-President Lori Askeland released a detailed statement about the recent standoff situation involving Paul E. Schenck.
A new telephone emergency alert system was used by the village of Yellow Springs during a deadly standoff with police on Tuesday night. WYSO's Emily McCord is asking some questions about how the system was deployed.
The Yellow Springs Police held a press conference Wednesday, detailing the events of the stand-off that left one man dead and another injured. The deceased has been identified as Paul E. Schenk, 42, of 280 N. High Street. His son, Max Schenck, 19, was injured. While still under investigation, the standoff resulted from a domestic dispute.
