This weekend, as Oklahoma City Museum of Art patrons watch "These Amazing Shadows," a documentary about film preservation, they may be unaware that some classics are being preserved one floor above their heads.
In a locked room kept at a chilly 62 degrees are reels of more than 500 films, mostly 16mm, said Brian Hearn, film curator.
That OKCMOA is among them is entirely accidental, Hearn said.
"It was not part of the plan," he said, when the museum moved from the state fairgrounds in 2002. But a call from University of Central Oklahoma professor John Springer changed all that: a custodian found 180 films in a closet and was taking them to the Dumpster, which Hearn was "absolutely mortified" to hear.
One impromptu mission later, he said OKCMOA staffers were "stunned" at what they had rescued: works by some of world cinema's most lauded directors: D.W. Griffith, Akira Kurosawa, Ingmar Bergman, Jean Renoir, Federico Fellini.
More acquisitions followed, including the classics "The Maltese Falcon," "King Kong," "Dr. Strangelove," "It Happened One Night" and "High Noon," plus Thomas Edison shorts and Max Flesicher cartoons starring Superman, Popeye and Betty Boop. The shelves sport their share of oddities, such as "Twilight Zone" episodes, the "Bambi Meets Godzilla" short and something called "Hank the Cave Peanut." Whatever the title, it's all important.
"We treat this just as we would our art collection," Hearn said. "It's a very eclectic collection. It's literally an international collection, but its strength is American history."

Deal Leads Handel in Tight Contest in Georgia
by Charles Lemos, Wed Aug 11, 2010 at 12:02:20 AM EDT
I'll have a complete wrap up later but as of now Linda McMahon has won the GOP Senate nod in Connecticut, while Dannel Malloy, the former mayor of Stamford, defeated Ned Lamont for the Democratic Governor's nomination. Michael Bennet outlasted Andrew Romanoff in the Colorado Democratic Senate primary while the other races in Colorado remain to close to call. The Tea Party back candidates Ken Buck and Dan Maes are however both leading their respective races with above 75 percent of the precincts reporting. In Minnesota, the DFL primary for Governor remains too close to call with Margaret Anderson Kelliher edging Mark Dayton with 76 percent of the vote in.
In Georgia, the GOP gubernatorial run-off Congressman Nathan Deal has a small lead in a razor close contest over Karen Handel, the former Secretary of State. With 100 percent of the precincts reporting, Deal received 292,007 votes to Handel's 289,576 though no winner has yet been called. Absentee ballots remain to be counted and given the less than one percent margin, an automatic recount will be triggered.
Handel had been endorsed by Sarah Palin while Deal drew endorsements from Mick Huckabee and Newt Gingrich. The winner faces Democrat Roy Barnes in the Fall.

In a joint meeting with the Carroll County commissioners and the Board of Education Tuesday afternoon, Commissioner Richard Rothschild said repeatedly that Carroll County should resist adhering to the state's Common Core Curriculum even if it means taking the federal government to court.
"My position is we should try to get out of it (Common Core standards requirements)," Rothschild told the Board. "There are laws in America that prevent the nationalization or federalization of education."
The two boards met Tuesday to discuss education in Carroll County. Commissioner Doug Howard said the meeting was specifically to talk about education issues outside of funding and buildings.
Carroll County Public School (CCPS) Superintendent Stephen Guthrie told the commissioners that CCPS is in the process of adapting the state's Common Core standards, as required by state law.
According to the Maryland State Department of Education website, Common Core is "a set of shared goals and expectations for what students should understand and be able to do in grades K-12 in order to be prepared for success in college and the workplace."
CCPS Assistant Superintendent of Instruction Steve Johnson explained that Common Core is based on an internationally benchmarked curriculum, created by a national group of educators and organizations.
Commissioner Doug Howard questioned how a curriculum designed at the national level is right for students in Carroll County.
"How do we know this constitutes something that is desirable for us?" Howard asked.
Guthrie said that the Common Core establishes the skill set students need to learn for assessments but that Carroll County educators create the curriculum that dictates how the skills are taught and what resources are used.
Johnson added that there is a 75 percent match with Common Core standards and Carroll County's current curriculum so although there were adjustments made, Johnson said that adapting to Common Core did not require a comprehensive overhaul of what Carroll County already has in place.
"We had to make some adjustments but the bottom line is I'm not sure we have the autonomy to say 'no'," Johnson said. "I mean our kids get a Maryland state high school diploma so we have to comply with the graduation requirements of the state of Maryland."
Once the state adopted the Common Core, it became law that all 24 school districts had to adhere to the standards, according to Guthrie.
Rothschild said that the federal government "bribes" states into accepting national standards.
"After they [standards] were created, the Obama adminstration created Race to the Top and they bribed all the states into accepting it...we now have exactly what is prohibited by law--the defacto national control over education," Rothschild said. "Then what's gonna happen is since the federal government incented states to accept this, more and more grants will come out that are conditional ... it will turn our schools into propoganda institutes for government and we should be resisting them."
Board of Education member Gary Bauer responded saying that the federal government does not dictate the curriculum, rather just provides funding to states.
"The federal government does not dictate anything, the federal government provides money to the states," Bauer said. "If [states] don't take the money, [states] can do whatever they want to do."
Rothschild responded saying that states are forced to accept the federal standards because they are strapped for cash.
"We are setting ourselves up to be controlled and manipulated. Once this defacto nationalization goes into effect, they will control us, they will control our state curriculum, they will control our local curriculum, they will change the curriculum by holding back grant money unless we capitulate to them," Rothschild said. "If we don' stop this, we're gonna look back 10 years from now and say 'oh my God, why didn't we stop this,' we need to try to stop this."
Commissioner Dave Roush said it is a matter of state taxpayer money being taken from the state.
"The $250 milion the state is getting [for education from the federal government] didn't come out of the sky, it came from taxpayers, many of them who are in Maryland," Roush said. "So take Maryland taxpayer's money and say 'well we'll give it back to you for your education if you do what we want, if you don't, we're gonna ship all that money out to some other state' and we'll just be poor."
Rothschild said local curriculum decisions should be made by local educators and citizens.
"I think we should file suit to try to stop Common Core so that we retain autonomy in our county to teach the way our experts think is best, not the way the federal government thinks," Rothschild said. "Just because something is law doesn't mean it can't be challenged ... the defacto federalization of education is not tolerable to me, I know where this is going."

City receives four regional public works awards
The City of Kansas City, Mo., won four public works achievement awards at Wednesday's National Public Works Week Awards Luncheon. The luncheon was hosted by the Kansas City Metro Chapter of the American Public Works Association.
The City was awarded a regional APWA Management Innovation Award for the development of the Capital Improvements Management Office. The office was created as a partnership with MWH Americas Inc. and Burns and McDonnell to re-engineer the City's delivery processes and reinvigorate its backlogged capital improvement project portfolio. CIMO has used inventive corrective strategies and industry best practices to create a centralized, more efficient approach to capital project delivery and accountability.
Additionally, three of the division's capital improvement projects were named regional APWA Projects of the Year. These awards recognize projects that exemplify outstanding project execution through project management; timely execution; safety performance; community relations; and quality control, construction innovations, and time and/or money-saving techniques.
These are the award-winning projects:
Manchester Trafficway Bridge improvement project
The bridge on N.E. Chouteau Trafficway underwent a $4 million facelift in 2005 to repair its substructure and replace the bridge deck. The design consultant on this project was HNTB and the primary contractor was Clarkson Construction Company.
Sunset Hill drainage and storm sewer improvement project
This project was located in a neighborhood just south of the Country Club Plaza and addressed much-needed storm drainage control in order to stop erosion and improve safety. The design consultant on this project was MACTEC Engineering & Consulting and the primary contractor was Rose-Lan Contractors Inc.
Urban alleyway improvement projects at 18th and Locust streets, and 10th Street and Brooklyn Avenue
These alleyway projects were requested by citizens using Public Improvements Advisory Committee funding to eliminate blight in their neighborhoods. For each, the alley was cleared of debris and new concrete surfaces were installed. The design consultant on this project was McDonald & Warger Inc. and the primary contractor was National Streetscape.
CIMO was created in 2004 and has been at the forefront of Kansas City's building renaissance, managing $1.2 billion in capital improvement projects across the city.
The Kansas City Metro Chapter of APWA is a regional organization that encompasses seven counties in eastern Kansas and western Missouri. More information about this organization is available at www.kcapwa.net.

Washington, D.C. — Below is the text from President Barack Obama's official 2013 Thanksgiving proclamation.
Thanksgiving offers each of us the chance to count our many blessings -- the freedoms we enjoy, the time we spend with loved ones, the brave men and women who defend our Nation at home and abroad. This tradition reminds us that no matter what our background or beliefs, no matter who we are or who we love, at our core we are first and foremost Americans.
Our annual celebration has roots in centuries-old colonial customs. When we gather around the table, we follow the example of the Pilgrims and Wampanoags, who shared the fruits of a successful harvest nearly 400 years ago. When we offer our thanks, we mirror those who set aside a day of prayer. And when we join with friends and neighbors to alleviate suffering and make our communities whole, we honor the spirit of President Abraham Lincoln, who called on his fellow citizens to "fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty hand to heal the wounds of the nation, and to restore it, as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes, to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility, and union."
Our country has always been home to Americans who recognize the importance of giving back. Today, we honor all those serving our Nation far from home. We also thank the first responders and medical professionals who work through the holiday to keep us safe, and we acknowledge the volunteers who dedicate this day to those less fortunate.
This Thanksgiving Day, let us forge deeper connections with our loved ones. Let us extend our gratitude and our compassion. And let us lift each other up and recognize, in the oldest spirit of this tradition, that we rise or fall as one Nation, under God.

STAGE TUBE: Highlights from San Francisco Opera's SHOW BOAT
by Stage Tube - Jun 4, 2014
A true classic of American musical theater, this tale of life on the Mississippi from the 1880s to the 1920s is both a poignant love story and a powerful reminder of the bitter legacy of racism.

BWW Reviews: New York's Cabaret Stars Shine Brightly in Emotional MARGARET WHITING Tribute Show at Carnegie Hall
by Stephen Hanks - Jun 25, 2014
When Margaret Whiting died on January 10, 2011, the news was like a dagger into the heart of the New York cabaret community. Whiting was a beloved singer for almost seven decades, who seemingly delivered every American popular song ever written, conquered almost every musical art form--from Big Band to Country to Musicals to Cabaret, from radio to the recording studio. On top of all that, Whiting worked with and mentored many New York cabaret musical directors and performers, including the late Mary Cleere Haran and K.T. Sullivan, who along with Whiting's daughter Deborah, hosted a 90th birthday Whiting tribute show on Monday night at Carnegie Hall's elegant Weill Recital Hall. Presented by The Mabel Mercer Foundation, for which Sullivan is Artistic Director, It Might As Well Be Spring! A Celebration in Song of the Life of Margaret Whiting was an almost three-hour concert featuring two All-Star teams worth of cabaret stars spanning a few generations. (more...)

Nach dem sensationellen Erfolg von Show Boat" im letzten Jahr warteten die Bad Hersfelder Festspielen in diesem Jahr mit "Kiss Me, Kate" mit einem weiteren Klassiker auf. Das Musical aus der Feder von Cole Porter spielt hinter (und vor) den Kulissen einer musikalischen Inszenierung von Shakespeares "Der Widerspenstigen Zahmung". Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei Diva Lilli Vanessi (Katharina Mehrling), die nach langerer Zeit im Filmgeschaft wieder zu ihren Theaterwurzeln zuruckgehrt ist, um die Rolle der Kate an der Seite ihres ehemaligen Geliebten Fred (Thomas Borchert) zu spielen. Wie bei einer solch explosiven Besetzung kaum anders zu erwarten, kommt es am Premierenabend zu reichlich Konflikten zwischen den beiden, die auch das Geschehen auf der Buhne beeinflussen. Als Lilli frustriert mitten in der Auffuhrung abreisen will, kommen zwei Ganoven zur Hilfe, die finanzielles Interesse am Erfolg der Show haben. Sie uberzeugen Lilli mit nicht ganz lupenreinen Methoden davon zu bleiben. (more...)

Save the Garden
To the Editor: For almost 25 years I have been working on saving and beautifying my building at the corner of Third Avenue and Beaton Street, not only for myself but for all of the community to enjoy.
Over the years the garden and fountain on the side of the building have become a favorite location for our citizens to enjoy as a city park. Sadly, the sidewalk area has been falling to pieces and people have been getting hurt due to crumbling and oversized concrete pieces still left from the city taking out the old parking meters.
The city is stating that the only way they can fix this problem is to tear down the garden and fountain area and put in solid concrete from the street to the side of the building. It distresses me to think the city would rather tear up a place of beauty in our town than to just improve the existing area.
This landscape has been used as a backdrop on countless occasions for photos to commemorate proms, graduations, weddings, senior pictures and more.
The city has recently installed banners proudly depicting a photo of the fountain to welcome people as they enter Corsicana.
Please help show your support for preserving this place of beauty in our beloved town by calling your city councilman or official. Thank you for joining my plea to the city to protect what so many of us consider a picturesque asset of Downtown Corsicana.

Taxing concern
To the Editor: Warning to homeowners in the Navarro County Appraisal District: Property valuations for tax purposes are unfairly being tremendously increased.
In Angus, my property was increased by $17,530 although I have made no improvements the past 10 years and the mortgage was already underwater from the last bubble.
Four storage sheds, some from the 1970s and all in disrepair, were obviously claimed to be new, as was my carport built in the 1970s. None of these were inspected.
Even if your taxes are frozen, eventually the appraisals will make it difficult to sell the property. File a protest. Take pictures. Do not go alone. Do not sign an acceptance. Demand to be heard.
The appraiser has evidently been warned that his job is on the line if the county does not get enough money for all the projects you didn't get to vote on...
Let your voice be heard while you still can.

The Normal Larynx
How Is The Voice Produced?
The larynx or voice box is located in the neck, behind what is called "The Adam's apple." Typically, in men, this prominence is more obvious, but women also have a slight bulge at the same location. The vocal folds are located behind this prominence and extend back from the Adam's apple, about the length of 17 to 20 mm in adult males and 12.5 to 17 mm in adult females. Air inhaled and exhaled passes through the vocal folds. When the vocal folds are open, breathing is taking place. However, when the vocal folds are brought together, air pressure builds up beneath them and when released sets the vocal folds into motion, creating sound.
The vocal folds are merely a vibrator or noise maker. They can alter pitch by being elongated. Speech is made as a result of altering the shape of the vocal tract (i.e. by varying the shape of the throat, the position of the lips, tongue, and sometimes by engaging the nasal passages).
What Is a Normal Voice?
A normal voice is judged to be appropriate with regard to pitch, loudness and quality and meets the demands of daily communication necessary for the individual. It is also free of discomfort, fatigue and qualitative changes during or after use.

The auto salesman, believe it or not, promised he wouldn't say "No" if I asked to test-drive a car for a few months while deciding whether to buy it.
See, after former Gov. Mike Easley explained that his wife, Mary, test-drove a Honda for that long and for that reason, skeptics assumed it was a sweetheart deal accorded only to the politically powerful and their families.
That's why I felt a glimmer of hope for the common dude when the salesman assured me he wouldn't say no to such a request.
"I'd say 'H-E-L-L no,'" he clarified. That was followed by a look that car salespeople reserve for roadkill that damages a new bumper.
Ashley Broadney at Performance Acura-BMW in Chapel Hill -- after laughing at my request for a months-long test-drive -- said, "Here we usually offer an hourlong test drive."
You'd have to be loony -- or the wife of da' gubna -- to expect to test-drive a car for months, right?
But the most troublesome auto arrangement for Easley is the one that allowed his then-teenage son to drive an SUV for free, with no taxes, tags or insurance payments.
Forget the car note: If you've ever insured a teen driver, you know how expensive it is. Bleecker Olds Buick GMC in Red Spring bought the vehicle from itself and paid taxes and insurance on it while Mike Junior motored blissfully about, as teenagers are wont to do.
Like you, I'm outraged and have just one question: Where can I get me a deal like that?
Easley most recently averred that the GMC Yukon was "made available" as a campaign vehicle that, his lawyer John Wallace explained, morphed into one used for "personal purposes."
Depending upon how much you've had to drink, you could see that happening. After all, if you have a fleet at your disposal, it's easy to get them mixed up and unwittingly drive a campaign car to the Piggly Wiggly.
That's especially true if you have teens at the crib who only care that it has wheels, gas and a sound system that shatters glass a block away.
Easley's explanation, unfortunately for him, contradicted one he'd made weeks earlier when he said that the Yukon "was a lease car and I paid the residual instead of turning it back in since [Junior's] on his [own] in a year."
No records, according to an N&O investigation, exist to support Easy E's claim.
Oh, what a tangled web we weave, eh, homes?
Don't blame Easley for offering a statement that is so obviously at variance with the truth: Blame him for putting forth one that could so easily be refuted.
It's like I tell Sweet Thang when she claims she's got to go out for the evening in her 6-inch, glass-heel pumps to comfort an old friend who's feeling down: If you're gonna lie to me, at least make it a good 'un. And bring me back a pickled pig foot.
A better story? "The kid took the car each morning without me, the governor, knowing about it.
"As governor, I have more important things to do than monitor what's in the driveway.
"Why, each morning when I went down to the kitchen to throw a tasty Jimmy Dean sausage biscuit in the microwave," he should've said, "I noticed it was gone. I figured the dealer took it back every day."
That might not get him off the hook, but perhaps the kind folks at Jimmy Dean would let him test-drive some free sausage biscuits for the plug.

Diarrhea is when your child has more than two very loose bowel movements in 1 day. For many children, diarrhea is mild and will pass within a few days. For others, it may last longer. It can make your child feel weak and dried out (dehydrated). It can also lead to unhealthy weight loss.
A stomach or intestinal illness can cause diarrhea. It can be a side effect of medical treatments, such as antibiotics and some cancer treatments.

RALEIGH — WakeMed CEO Bill Atkinson said Friday that problems at the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services are hurting health care providers, raising costs and delaying projects.
The Raleigh health care provider didnt receive payments from a new state computer system that processes Medicaid claims until five weeks after it came online July 1. The state still owes WakeMed at least $1.5 million in unpaid claims for certain outpatient procedures, Atkinson said
The company will have to resubmit about 5,000 bills by hand at a significant cost to the company. There are things like this that are happening when our government makes a shift and it impacts an organization like ours, he told reporters at a luncheon in Raleigh.
The state agency says it is working with providers to address problems but Atkinsons remarks highlight the agencys troubles in recent weeks.
Health Secretary Aldona Wos faces increasing scrutiny amid calls for investigations into the large salaries of aides with political connections and the problems with the computer systems that pay providers of health care and get food assistance to the needy. In addition, dozens of positions were re-classified as political patronage jobs, removing civil service protection for some workers.
I think there lot of delays right now, said Atkinson. People are scared to make decisions and a lot of jobs are being changed.
Atkinson also suggested DHHS contributed to delays in the opening of WakeBrook, the new mental health facility run by UNC Health Care that WakeMed played a role in developing.
He said state inspectors were diverted to other areas and that stalled the project by several months.
In this case various inspectors who are supposed to be able to certify that facility havent been able to do it because theyre tied up inspecting (abortion) clinics. ... So if you dispatch a limited number of other people to other tasks you all of a sudden slow everything down.
A UNC Health Care spokesman later downplayed the states role in the delays. It was not told the delay was related to abortion clinics, the spokesman said.
The WakeBrook facility received its operating license on Monday, DHHS spokesman Ricky Diaz said Friday. He said that was the mutually agreed upon date between DHHS and the facility. Atkinsons remarks on the delay were incorrect, he added.
Atkinson said the delay in opening the WakeBrook facility caused enormous problems for WakeMed because it meant the hospital system did not have open beds to treat other needy patients.
I cant begin to tell you the problem that causes for us, he said.
Atkinson also warned that the decision by McCrory and the Republican-led legislature not to accept federal money to expand Medicaid will increase health care costs for everyone in the state. That will come back to hurt North Carolinians, he said.

Shortly after St. Louis County Police received a call about a careless and imprudent driver on Interstate 44, a man heading eastbound ran his car off the right side of the highway just past the Lewis Road exit.
The male, driving what appeared to be a Ford LTD, was taken into custody by St. Louis County Police officers after he ran his car into an embankment off of I-44. The accident occurred just after 1 p.m. Wednesday afternoon.
Eureka Fire Protection District firefighters and a Missouri State Highway Patrol officer also responded to the accident.
St. Louis County Police officer Eric Algren told Patch the car was registered to a St. Louis County resident. The driver was the only occupant in the car, and he didn't hit any other vehicles during the accident.
When law enforcers responded, Algren said "things just didn't look right," and alleged drug-related paraphernalia was found during a search of the man and his car. As seen in the photos captured by Patch, a syringe-like item was pulled from the man's pocket by police.
Algren said there were outstanding warrants on the driver. He said the man would be taken into county custody, and transferred to the jurisdiction from which the warrants stemmed.

CUYAHOGA FALLS: City Council has opted to hold off — for now — on a vote to use an inheritance tax windfall for employee bonuses.
Council is mulling what to do with just over $1.2 million in taxes collected in October from the estate of an 88-year-old woman. The administration wants to use two-thirds of the money to give eligible full-time employees a one-time payout of $3,500.
The remainder of the money would go to the city's general fund.
City officials argue that in addition to forgoing raises for the last four years, employees have given concessions that included unpaid furlough days and adjustment in paid leave.
The one-time payment would provide a reward for employees' "loyalty, sacrifice and community spirit" that allowed the city to provide "high quality services to its residents," according to the language in the proposed ordinance before council.
If approved, council members and the council clerk would receive a one-time payment of $1,250. The bonus would be paid out Jan. 18.
Most council members said they will opt out of receiving the bonus money.
"As an elected official, I don't think I should receive this money," said Councilman Don Walters, D-6.
Two council members asked at Monday night's meeting whether they could earmark their portion of the funds for special programs.
Councilwoman Mary Ellen Pyke, R-2, said she would like to donate to the police department's K-9 program.
Vincent Rubino, D-1, said he would like to see his $1,250 go into the safety forces' budget.
At-large representative Carol Klinger said she would like to just eliminate giving any of the money to council members.
"I think it's offensive that we're voting to give ourselves money," she said.
Along with the ordinance that would award bonuses, council also held related ordinances that would amend contracts with the city's labor unions.
Walters said union members have voted to extend their contracts through 2015 in exchange for the one-time payout. Those ordinances are expected to be discussed in executive session Dec. 17.
Firefighters Local 494 President David Witner said union members "thought this was a very good time for the city and the union to cooperate and the city to keep their payroll numbers flat and health insurance flat."
Falls resident Terry McHugh echoed other residents who asked that the money go to the general fund instead of employees.
"They haven't received a raise in four years," he said. "I haven't received a raise in five years. Save the money for a rainy day. We all struggle. I know they make more money than I do and I pay their hospitalization and I pay their retirement."
Some residents questioned whether the money should be used to hire additional firefighters and police officers.
Finance Director Joe Brodzinski said residents need to remember this is a one-shot thing.
"This is a one-time payment," he said. "If we were to hire five in each department, those are expenses that go on forever."
Councilwoman Diana Colavecchio, who chairs the finance committee, stopped one resident who asked Mayor Don Robart and other members of the administration whether they planned to take the payout. She said what a city employee decides to do with the proposed bonus is a private matter.
Colavecchio, a lawyer, had concerns that the money the city received may be subject to a state audit or amended return because of the size of the tax payment.
She asked to hold the legislation so that Brodzinski can find out if state tax officials have filed a final tax liability for the large estate.
"My concern is that this money sitting in our coffers today might be subject to audit and the Ohio Department of Taxation might come back and tell us 'you've got to give some of that money back,' " Colavecchio said.

Staff-recommended reading from the
KPL catalog.
Some people say we are living in a "pluralistic age." What does that mean? Religious pluralism is the view that all religions have some truth to them; that all religions are valid paths to the same transcendent reality. This is one position, among many, to the variety of religious experience.
John Hick's Interpretation of Religion is, in my experience, one of the best arguments for this position. Drawing on a vast knowledge of the major religious traditions and texts, and a relevant philosophical understanding of the distinction between the world of experience and the worldbeyond experience (via Kant), Hick suggests that because religious concepts are beyond experience, it makes sense that they are so different and varied and experienced in different ways.
On a more relevant note, KPL does not have this book; however, KPL does have this book because of the great service we have in MeLCat. See the director Ann's new blog to see how you can stand up for such a crucial service to Michigan libraries.
Aug. 24, 79 A.D. Mount Vesuvius erupted in Italy. The cities Pompeii and Herculaneum were buried in tons of volcanic ash and pumice, and an estimated 20,000 people perished. The cities remained buried for centuries and were incredible archaeological time capsules when they were discovered.
Aug. 24, 2006 Pluto was declassified as a major planet by the International Astronomical Union, the authority on all matter planetary. According to a July 27, 2009 article by Steve Battersby in the NewScientist, after days of arguments at the general assembly of the IAU in Prague delegates voted for a new definition of the term "planet" that excluded Pluto. Pluto was downgraded to a new category of dwarf planet. The decision caused public outrage as astronomers pointed out that only 4 percent of the IAU's 10,000 members took part in the vote! Many astronomers hope that future discoveries concerning our solar system as well as a better definition of the status of "planet" will bring about greater understanding and a reinstatement of Pluto as a planet.
Aug. 27, 1883 Mount Krakatoa an island volcano in what is now Indonesia erupted. The violent explosions from the eruption destroyed two thirds of the island and huge deadly tsunami waves that swept across the region killing an estimated 36,000 people. The Krakatoa volcanic eruption was one of the largest recorded in history and had a huge global effect. The explosion was heard in Australia and the shock wave was registered by barometers in England.
Finger Lickin' Fifteen, the 15th offering from author Janet Evanovich that features the less-than-proficient bond enforcement officer Stephanie Plum, is laugh-out-loud funny!
All of the familiars are back: Ranger, Lula, Grandma Mazer, Morelli, Connie, and Uncle Vinnie, plus the usual collection of parents, dogs, and others that make up the whirlwind around Stephanie Plum. Evanovich adds more characters, unique to this novel. Stanley Chipotle, of the Chipotle Barbecue Sauce fame, is the first of the unfortunate newbies to lose something important…his head! As in decapitated! Lula witnesses the deed, and becomes a target, a problem that plagues her throughout the story.
With Stanley out of commission, Grandma Mazer, Lula, and Connie band together to "create" their own prize-winning barbecue sauce so that they can enter the contest and WIN a lot of money! Expect the expected: disastrous results with the sauce experiment. Picture ribs cooked to within an inch of their "lives," chicken broiled beyond recognition, even to someone with Cajun blackened cooking skills; a blown up barbecue grill…the list goes on!
Some of the review journals think that Evanovich has run her Stephanie Plum character way past her prime. I don't happen to think so. Finger Lickin' Fifteen is one of the best Plum tales so far. Be prepared to laugh long and hard at the antics in this one!

Have you noticed that you can access lists of award-winning books from KPL's catalog? For example, you could find the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction winners, all the way back to The Magnificent Ambersons, by Booth Tarkington, published in 1918 (when this prize was named Pulitzer Prize for the Novel.) Or choose to place a hold on the most recent winner, Elizabeth Strout's Olive Kitteridge.
To find your way to the lists, simply go to the catalog, see the lists of award-winners on the left, under "Recommended Reading," and choose a category. We have all our holdings posted in reverse chronological order. At the bottom of the lists, you'll see "More recommended reading lists." Go ahead, click on it, and see how many more categories of award-winning books you can access at your local library!
Adventure on the high seas and action galore in the 18th Century await you. There is only one catch…Temeraire is a dragon. Naomi Novik has created an alternate reality where dragons are real. His Majesty's Dragon introduces you to Temeraire and from there you are hooked. History buffs who enjoy the Napoleonic wars will love the tight plotting and believable characters with a slight twist – dragons as Air Corps. I can't wait for the next in the series due out in October. The series in order includes: His Majesty's Dragon, Throne of Jade, Black Powder War, Empire of Ivory, and Victory of Eagles: a novel of Temeraire.
For me, Siddhartha is one of those books that had a profound effect on me the first time I read it. Hesse is a master of philosophy and religion, both East and West; a master of putting a world-view into a character; and a master at condensed, meaningful prose--he includes everything essential, and leaves out the rest. Siddhartha is the story of a man devoted to seeking truth and wisdom at all costs. He becomes a wanderer. He finds himself contemplating, challenging, and encorporating the eastern philosophy and religion that he is born into; he learns from every mode of life and every person that he comes across. About the human potential, Siddhartha says:
"...the potential Buddha already exists in the sinner; his future is already there. The potential hidden Buddha must be recognized in him, in you, in everybody."
And after all of his searching, we find this lesson:
"Here is a doctrine at which you will laugh. It seems to me, Govinda, that Love is the most important thing in the world. It may be important to great thinkers to examine the world, to explain and despise it. But I think it is only important to love the world, not to despise it, not for us to hate each other, but to be able to regard the world and ourselves and all beings with love, admiration and respect."
Many incredibly unique and special places in the United States have been preserved through our national parks. The Library currently has a great display about our national parks on the first floor to pique your curiosity. Did you know that there are 58 national parks and 333 national monuments and historic sites in the U.S. (wow)? The birth of the idea of our national parks to preserve, manage, and protect these places and the evolution of the parks system is fascinating to read about, and the Library has many wonderful materials and resources available for you to explore. For instance, check out the library catalog for more information on President Theodore Roosevelt, John Muir, and Gifford Pinchot who were all instrumental in the creation of the national parks. Want some travel information to visit the parks? Check out KPL's travel collection. Oh, and the Library also has guides and pamphlets for various Michigan National Parks and Forests as well as handbooks and pamphlets for many U.S. National Parks and Forests up in the second floor's reference shelves. We have the magazine National Parks, too. Maybe once you look into our national parks and reserves, you want to learn more about conservation, environmentalism, or the United States National Parks Service. Yes, we have information on those topics as well. Oh and FYI, well-known film director Ken Burns has completed a documentary on our national parks titled The National Parks: America's Best Idea which will be airing in September on PBS and the KPL has an order in place for this also. It looks like a fabulous series. Happy Exploring!
I'm a big fan of the TV show "World's Deadliest Catch" - about crab fishing in the Bering Sea.
I love the show for many reasons, not the least of which is that my son is a salmon fisherman in Alaska, fishing in the Bering Sea! While salmon fishing is not as hazardous as crab fishing, he has still had his brushes with death.
Time Bandit: Two brothers, the Bering Sea, and One of the World's Deadliest Jobs is a fascinating look at the industry from the fisherman of one of the boats profiled on the TV series. If you have watched the show, than you have seen the authors - Andy and Jonathan Hillstrand - at work.
As he says in the book "On the Bering Sea, every fisherman knows what kills. We understand that, for whatever reason, if we enter the water unprotected, we are dead. A crewman will be irretrievably wounded by hypothermia in four or five minutes,,, the cold will numb his extremities....we are not afraid of the sea; we are terrified of the water."
So if you want to live vicariously the life of a Bering Sea fisherman - than delve into this book and enjoy!
Fans of the TV series Lost are fanatical not only because the show keeps you constantly guessing and hungry to watch the next episode, but because there are deep philosophical themes peppered throughout. Who is John Locke, and how does he relate to the 17th century philosopher that heavily influenced our constitution? And then he becomes Jeremy Bentham, founder of utilitarianism, which makes more sense insofar as the character will do anything that the island demands ("Boone was a sacrifice the island demanded"). My favorite, however, is the character Desmond Hume representing David Hume's idea that the self is nothing but a loose connection of memories and sensations. Further, what does Rousseau have to do with the philosophy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau? And of course you can't have an epic drama without the age-old struggle between fate and free will, the relationship between faith and reason, and...smoke monsters coming from the forest.
Alice Hoffman's new book, The Story Sisters, is true to form for the author – mystical and strange with compelling characters and complicated relationships. Their "stories" bump up against reality and the author's imagery creates a beautiful, haunting, sad tale, but the reader ultimately recognizes the possibility of redemption through love.
Although I found The Story Sisters a little more difficult to read than some of Hoffman's other books, it was worth the effort. If you are not familiar with her work and want to try her out you might want to read one of her earlier novels first, try Practical Magic (made into a movie in 1998, starring Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock and Stockard Channing) or Turtle Moon. They are also beautifully written and also intriguing with elements of magic, but are not so dark.

They have beaten both Creighton and Wichita State already this season and are in a solid position to enter the conversation for the Big Dance...assuming no slip ups.
Tonight they are small favourites on the road against Southern Illinois who has rapidly dropped to the bottom of the conference pecking order. UNI lost their bracket buster against Denver and needs to rebound.
They have won their last 4 against the Salukis including a 13 point victory earlier this season. I see no reason for that streak not to continue and only one was as close as this margin.
Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sicker Than Sickbeard?
When I wrote about Usenet and Sickbeard a while back, I got many e-mails that I had broken the first rule of Usenet: don't talk about Usenet. I'm a sucker for freedom though, and I can't help but share when cool programs are available. This month, I switched from Sickbeard to NZBDrone for managing my television shows.
NZBDrone is a program designed to manage a local collection of television shows. It also has the capability of working with Usenet programs to automate the possibly illegal downloading of episodes, but that's truly not all it's good for. NZBDrone will take your TV show files and organize them into folders, download metadata and let you know if you're missing files. It also will show you when your favorite shows are going to be airing next.
Although it hasn't given me a problem, the fact that NZBDrone runs on Mono makes me nervous. The installation guide on the http://www.nzbdrone.com Web site makes setup simple enough, but there will be a boatload of dependencies that you might have to install due to its Mono infrastructure.
NZBDrone will work with your existing Plex media server, XBMC machines and SABNzb installs, and it automatically performs most of its features if you allow it to do so. The interface is beautiful, and even with a large collection of television shows (I have more than 15TB of TV shows on my server), it's very responsive. Whether you record your TV episodes, rip your television season DVDs or find your episodes in other ways, NZBDrone is a perfect way to manage your collection. It's so intuitive and user-friendly, that it gets this month's Editors' Choice award!

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

On the East Sussex coast, our Norman's Bay Club campsite is perfect for family camping holidays. Opposite the privately owned, wide expanse of sand and shingle beach is ideal for sandcastles, kite flying and bathing. The popular seaside resorts of Eastbourne and Brighton are to the west and Bexhill-on-Sea to the east. The open and level site has 200 pitches and three amenity blocks. Facilities include washing machines, a parent and child room, children's play area and recreation hall. There is also a well-stocked site shop. The nearby Pevensey Levels, known for nature conservation and agriculture, will satisfy nature lovers. For walkers, the South Downs Way (pick it up at the Seven Sisters Country Park) is a great way to see the stunning East Sussex countryside. The area is steeped in history - the Normans landed here in 1066. Join the 1006 Way which takes you around Battle, Hastings and Pevensey Castle, one of Britain's oldest strongholds, to discover some of this history. Eastbourne, five miles south west of the campsite, offers a plethora of things to see and do. There are parks and gardens, the Sovereign Marina with a host of shops, craft outlets and eating places and several beaches offering safe bathing and a variety of water-based activities. Other attractions in the area include the magnificent moated Herstmonceux Castle, Drusillas Park and Charleston Manor. Worth Noting The site is next to its own privately-owned, dog-friendly beach, where fishing is available. Ball games and kite flying are not permitted on site, however the adjacent beach is a perfect spot for these activities. WiFi 100% coverage cannot be guaranteed due to rural location, weather conditions and changing flora. These can cause variable signal strength. Hotspots are available. Prices.

Disappointed (Club Member) stayed Jul 2014 This review is for Normans Bay We have just spent 3 days at Normans Bay and although we enjoyed our break, out and about with all the area has to offer, the site was disappointing. The showers (5 male, 5 female) are inadequate for a site of some 160+ pitches, particularly given the number of campers without 'on board' facilities. Having had to queue for a shower I can only imagine what the peak holiday weeks will be like. On the plus side the water was hot, boiling in fact.

Police appeal to three potential witnesses who may hold key to Barrow assault
12:07pm Friday 11th January 2013 in News By Anna Smith, Reporter
POLICE are appealing for information from potential witnesses, as they investigate a sexual assault in Barrow.
Officers believe three people may have been in the area at the time of the offence and could hold important information about the attack.
The incident occurred between 10pm and 10.30pm, close to the top of the subway stairs opposite the main Post Office on Abbey Road, on Sunday, January 6.
Fortunately the victim, a 16-year-old girl, has not sustained any serious physical injuries. However she has been left distressed and is being supported by her family.
Now police are urging any witnesses to come forward.
One is a male described as being in his 50s or 60s, while two other males, described as being about 16-years-old are also sought. They were seen in the vicinity of Abbey Road at around the same time.
A 16-year-old male, who was arrested and interviewed by police, has been released on bail to return to Barrow Police Station on February 21.
Anybody with information that could help police with the enquiry is asked to call DC Sally Martin on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

The floods that have engulfed Pakistan over the last week are a mega disaster and the world needs to mount a mega response to ensure the millions affected get the help they need, international aid agency Oxfam said today as it called for a "gear shift" in the response to the crisis.

text: Leadership & Policy Page Content The American Osteopathic Association supports the leadership of osteopathic physicians and medical students in helping to shape health policy in the federal government. AOA Policy Committees The policy committees of the AOA monitor and comment on a wide array of initiatives, including the profession's contact with Congress and the various United States government departments, bureaus and agencies advising on scientific aspects of osteopathic medicine and biomedical research. Such activities routinely involve reviewing AOA policy guidelines relative to health care, health planning, and health delivery. Osteopathic Health Policy Internship The Osteopathic Health Policy Internship is a two-month program for osteopathic medical students sponsored by the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM). The internship is designed to provide students with a "hands-on" learning experience in the health care policy arena in Washington, D.C. Visit AACOM's website to obtain detailed information about the Osteopathic Health Policy Intern Program. Federal Advisory Panels Federal agencies often rely on the expertise, advice, and guidance of federal advisory panels, committees, and task forces. These panels are comprised of individuals who are experts in their particular field. They are highly visible entities which report their findings directly to the leadership in each federal agency. The AOA nominates individuals to serve on panels for a number of these agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
