Friday, June 14, 2013 —
Nearly 200 people took part in Stanly Regional Medical Center's (SRMC) celebration of "surviving and thriving" after being diagnosed with cancer. The event, which took place June 10 at SRMC Family & Education Center, was part of the annual Cancer Survivorship Celebration.
"This event is all about doing fun stuff. It's not just for people who have gotten or are getting their treatments here, but it's for everybody in the area who is a survivor of cancer," Nicole Williams, SRMC director of marketing and service excellence, said.
The Stanly County event coincides with National Cancer Survivors Day, which is officially observed on the first Sunday in June each year.
This was the second year for the event, and while attendance was on track with the previous year, Erin Martin, director of diagnostic services and cardiopulmonary, said she would like to see the program grow in the coming years.
"We hope for this to grow each year. It gives an opportunity for cancer survivors to have fun and time to forget about some of their worries," Martin said.
Jo Ann Kimrey, 77, a Badin resident who has been a breast cancer survivor for five years, said she is happy to have an event like this in Stanly County.
"It's such a wonderful idea. You have the chance to see people you know that you saw while taking treatments but have not seen since," Kimrey said.
Those that took part in the celebration had the opportunity to speak to representatives from The Breast Center, the SRMC Imaging Department, AMI Boutique, Northeast Oncology, Center of Hope and Radiation Oncology.
Center of Hope is a cancer resource support center that opened in December 2012. It provides free resources, such as computer access, massage therapy, manicures, support groups and general classes, to those who have been impacted by cancer.
Located inside the Center of Hope is the AMI Boutique, which houses certified technicians who can fit breast prosthesis. The boutique also includes swimsuits, gift items, hats and scarves.
"We've been blessed to have a lot of support from the community. We've seen some of our classes be busier than others, but we've been able to get the word out there so more people are aware we're here," Judy Fenton-Ray, with Center of Hope, said.
The center is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday and is housed in a facility behind the Hinson Cancer Center at 305 Yadkin St., Albemarle.
Participants of the survivor celebration also enjoyed musical entertaiment from a steel drummer and had the chance to view art that was on display through the Lily Oncology on Canvas, which included art work from cancer survivors from around the country.

NORMAN — Editor, The Transcript:
The holiday cards from the Norman community are signed and ready to be delivered to all seven VA centers across the state. This could not have been without all the cards that were left at our house. Many we did not know who left them, but they will be appreciated by our veterans.
I had a chance to visit the lady in charge of them at the Lawton center. She stressed again what we all have learned, that most of these men and women have no other family than the friends they have made there. They have been forgotten.
It is wonderful what a simple card can do to their spirits, both men and women. This is the fourth year we have delivered them, and she said they really look forward to getting them.
It is our hope that when you finish you cards this year, or find some on sale, you will remember our veterans and drop them by. Your gracious donations made it possible to deliver 1,571 cards. We love for you to sign them and write your own message. We write "Thanks for your service" on the ones we sign.
Look for a box beside the front door at 518 S. Lahoma Ave. Dan Kelly will be collecting them. Haleigh Cline, 625-0367, will be available to pick up cards from any of you who do not have transportation.
I really thought we would do good to add one center a year ... and thanks to the gracious people in Norman, we did it — all seven centers. You are wonderful.
Thank you all.
Marinell White, Janis Kelly, Dan Kelly, Haleigh Cline

Play of the Day: The Looming Threat of Kim Jong-Un
- By Ross Gianfortune
- April 10, 2013
- Leave a comment
Former president George W. Bush's legacy for comedians is legendary and David Letterman continues to joke about the 43rd president. With Bush's presidential library opening next month, Letterman gave viewers a preview of what the facility will provide for visitors.
On NBC, The Tonight Show's Jay Leno brought other former targets into a joke by making jokes about Mitt Romney and the Palins. Late Night's Jimmy Fallon looked into a possible Sasha Obama presidency and NASA's plans to study an asteroid.
Conan O'Brien was the only comedian to look at Barack Obama's budget proposal, using the occasion to talk about the government selling excess property. He also continued jokes about North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un, connecting the leader to "Gangam Style" singer Psy. Craig Ferguson devoted much of his monologue to Kim, as well, bringing in Psy, a Kardashian sight gag and even the relative sanity of China's leadership.
Fast forward to 4:20 to see Ferguson show why Kim shouldn't be strapped for money.

By V. Phani Kumar, MarketWatch
HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Most Asian markets advanced Tuesday to cheer benign inflation data from China and a solid start to the U.S. earnings season, while Japanese stocks let early gains slip by to snap a four-day winning streak as investors took profits in banks.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average /quotes/zigman/5986735/delayed JP:NIK -0.63% began the day on a positive note as the U.S. dollar edged closer to the key 100-yen level. But after rising as high as 13,331.39 — the benchmark's best level since August 2008 — it came under profit-taking pressure in afternoon trade and ended marginally lower at 13,192.35.
"Strong trending moves in Japan's stock market and currency have brought these markets right into focus as a sentiment driver for regional markets," said CMC Markets chief market analyst Ric Spooner.
However, "the recent strong market moves have increased the potential for sharp sell-offs on disappointing news," Spooner said.
Elsewhere in the region, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 /quotes/zigman/1653884/delayed AU:XJO -1.36% rallied 1.5% and South Korea's Kospi /quotes/zigman/1652118/delayed KR:SEU -0.15% erased early losses to inch up 0.1%, while Taiwan's Taiex /quotes/zigman/1565586/delayed XX:Y9999 -0.53% slipped 0.3% at the end of a choppy trading session.
Xi Jinping leads China into new era of politics
Chinese President Xi Jinping's recent comments on Korean tensions, and the country's response to its latest bird flu outbreak, suggest a new transparency on international and domestic issues.
Meanwhile, the Hang Seng Index /quotes/zigman/2622475/delayed HK:HSI -0.91% advanced 0.7% in afternoon trade, and the Shanghai Composite /quotes/zigman/1858913/delayed CN:000001 -1.56% ended 0.6% higher, after official data showing March consumer prices in China rose at a less-than-expected rate of 2.1% from the year-ago month.
The increase was markedly lower than the 3.2% inflation recorded in February, and also milder than the 2.4% price increase anticipated by economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires. Wholesale prices dropped 1.9% in March, roughly matching expectations.
Barclays economists led by Jian Chang wrote to clients that the drop in inflation, due to an easing in volatile food prices, didn't change their views on China's monetary policy.
"Our baseline view of a benign growth and inflation mix suggests that the People's Bank of China will maintain a neutral monetary policy stance in 2013, with flat benchmark interest rates. However, we continue to expect the PBOC to keep a bias toward tightening liquidity from its peak during November 2012-January 2013 to guide inflation expectations," they added.
Tokyo, Sydney advance
Several Japanese banks retreated on profit-taking after hefty recent advances, to erase broad market gains.
Shares of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. /quotes/zigman/267078/delayed JP:8306 +0.44% /quotes/zigman/392753/delayed/quotes/nls/mtu MTU -1.17% dropped 2.5% and Mizuho Financial Group Inc. /quotes/zigman/317735/delayed JP:8411 -0.84% /quotes/zigman/1500746/delayed/quotes/nls/mfg MFG -1.02% skidded 1.9% during the session. The stocks are still up 11.8% and 6.5% so far this month.
A number of exporters added to their sharp recent gains in Tokyo trading as the U.S. dollar /quotes/zigman/4868099/realtime/sampled USDJPY +0.1126% rose as high as ¥99.66 during the session, reflecting expectations for aggressive monetary easing by the Bank of Japan.

Gartner: Open Source Penetrating SaaS Segment
Open Source software is likely to dominate the Software as a Service (SaaS) segment for reasons of economy and community building says market researcher Gartner: Open Source is cheap, and communities keep it popular.
The Gartner analysts predict that communities will grow around SaaS offerings in the next three years. Community driven software development and the exchange and penetration that they guarantee will be important factors. Community-typical processes such as the evaluation of the usefulness of an offering by the users will also be critical. User and developer communities will tend to grow where the SaaS provider takes care to provide good APIs and communications options, say the Connecticut-based technology monitors. The success of the software will depend on the success of the community.
By 2010, all SaaS providers will run their infrastructure at least partly on Open Source components, says Gartner. Infrastructure is to be understood as the operating system, application server and database. This avoids the need for providers to invest heavily in software, although customers should not expect these savings to be passed on to them, the analysts add.
IT associations should also monitor SaaS offerings that include Open Source. They should warn the providers about issues arising from possible licensing infringements and thus actions by the projects and their legal advisors. The Free Software Foundation also anticipates future issues with free licenses and SaaS and organized asummit on Open Source in the SaaS era mid-March.
Gartner offers a commercial, three-page report on Thema SaaS and Open Source via its website.

Donations Sought for Ariel the Dalmatian --
I PULLED HER THE OTHER DAY FROM COBB COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER FOR DALMATIAN RESCUE OF TAMPA BAY. She is the sweetest girl ever, how sad her family threw her away after being bred likely many times.
She could not be spayed at the shelter due to her age and weight, so I took her to a private vet. Thank goodness I did! She had Pyometra, her uterus was close to rupturing, it's a very dangerous situation and could have killed her in a week or two.
If you can make a donation toward her $500 vet bill, no donation too small, please click on the Donate button, and mention it is for Ariel from Cobb.
She is through her surgery and is doing very well.
Foster Homes Needed --
The volunteers at Cobb County Animal Control are in desperate need of foster homes. We work with a terrific out of state rescue that takes in our dogs but they need temporary homes to stay from 2 to 3 weeks before they go on transport. You would be fostering for the volunteers, not the shelter. If you can help, please E-mail Janice at email@example.com. You will need to fill out a foster home application, and have a home visit before fostering. Thanks for your help! It's a rewarding experience and a short-term commitment.
Off-site Adoption on Sunday in Kennesaw --
There will be 9 or 10 dogs from Cobb County Animal Control at PetSmart, Sunday 6/ 10 as guests of the Cherokee County Humane Society. Adoptions from 11 - 4 at 860 Cobb Place Blvd NW Kennesaw 30144.
And the shelter is always open on Sundays from 2:00 to 5:00 at 1060 Al Bishop Dr., Marietta, GA 30008.

WV: More Massey Madness and the ongoing Paradox of MTR Oppositions
by Chuckie Corra, Tue Aug 03, 2010 at 10:14:14 AM EDT
If you live near the West Virginia coal fields and mines, you certainly know what the acronym MTR stands for. If you live in West Virginia at all and keep youself even slightly in tune with the "goings on" of the state, then chances are great that you will be familiar with the three-letter phrase yourself.
MTR is short for the dreaded MountainTop Removal mining method that quite literally lives up to its namesake. It ravages and rapes the state of its natural beauty while causing numerous unintended health and environmental effects hazardous to the way of life of the people living near these sites. The Mountain State is quickly turning into the plateau, bluff, and coal slurry state without much opposition from those who lead the state in Washington and in Charleston.
Recently the EPA has issued more guidelines in regards to the mining technique
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency just posted a new guidance document for Appalachian strip mining on its Web site.
It's called "Assessment of Stream Ecosystem Structure and Function Under Clean Water Act Section 404 Associated with Review of Permits for Appalachian Surface Coal Mining."
Neither EPA nor the Army Corps of Engineers have formally announced the issuance of this guidance, which appears to have been posted pretty late on a Friday afternoon.
But the issues dealt with in the guidance are the same as those raised in a March 2007 ruling by U.S. District Judge Robert C. Chambers: Whether government agency reviews of mining permits adequately consider impacts on not just the "structure" of streams, but also the important ecological "functions" served by those streams
Source: Gazette's Coal Tattoo
Without a solid force against MTR, the state will continue to function its coal economy and income based on this method. Its cheaper, easier, and requires less miners to perform the tasks necessary to complete the job. The after-effects are mammoth in size and people all across the state are left to clean up the mess and live with the coal slurry deposits and several other hazardous aftershocks of this haphazard and carefree way of mining coal.
West Virginia's special senate election could be the first real breaking point for this method of mining. Ken Hechler (albeit 95 years of age) is gunning for the democratic nomination this august to fill Robert C. Byrd's vacated seat in the Senate. His soul purpose for running, as mentioned in a previous blog, is his opposition to Mountaintop Removal Mining. Hechler isn't slated to make a big run at the seat, and even claims that he isn't using much of his own financial resources to help his chances. He is running solely to oppose MTR and send a message across the state and country where he stands on the issue and where his backers also stand. We need more people like Ken Hechler taking a stand for whats right in West Virginia and falling in line to back an opposition to MTR.
Governor Joe Manchin is pretty timid when discussing issues of MTR. He doesn't outrightly throw his entire support into MTR, nor does he oppose it either. Hechler claims that Manchin doesn't give enough care and attention to those affected by the Mountain stripping method.
"I think he has turned a deaf ear to the pleas of those people that are adversely affected by mountaintop removal," the former congressman and secretary of state said at a Capitol news conference to discuss his campaign.
Hechler and Manchin are both seeking the seat left empty by the death of Sen. Robert C. Byrd. They are joined in the Democratic primary by former state Delegate Sheirl Fletcher.
Hechler doesn't have a super strong campaign or following, his followers even express doubt of his chances of winning… but I truly admire the reason he chose to run at the ripe old age of 95. He would be older than Robert C. Byrd was when he died if he actually got elected.
As promised! A Massey Energy Idiotic Update!!!! Those who frequent the Massey Trend will be so excited that there is yet another installment, so I hope I don't disappoint!
After the news release a few weeks ago about Massey Energy having their Methane monitors disabled, damage control naturally ensued on the parts of Grandwizard Blankenship and his coal-black posse of corporate power.
Recently mentioned in Coal Tattoo (a blog on the WV Charleston Gazette Website dedicated to the interests of coal and news about it in WV) was a piece about Massey Energy officials meeting with the families of employees and sounding off on the story that the methane monitors had not been disabled in the Upper Big Branch Mine prior to the disaster earlier this year. And of course that Don Blankenship would never tell a lie in the world so this must be true…..
Massey Energy officials have said they want an open, transparent and complete investigation of what caused the deaths of 29 mines at the company's Upper Big Branch Mine in Raleigh County, W.Va., four months ago.
But today's Massey briefing for families of the miners who died was held behind closed doors. Three uniformed Charleston Police Department officers guarded the door of the ballroom at the Embassy Suites Hotel.
CEO Don Blankenship declined to talk with reporters afterward, and his general counsel, Shane Harvey, only took a couple of questions in a brief session with the media following the meeting.
The news release didn't say a whole lot, either, but here's the quote from Blankenship about the purpose of the meeting:
The purpose of today's meeting was to keep the families informed of key developments associated with the UBB investigation. Massey Energy will continue to do our part in updating families on key information obtained during this continuing inquiry.
The key thing being pushed today seems to be the idea that Massey has concluded from the evidence available thus far that methane monitors in the mine's longwall section had not been disabled prior to the April 5 explosion that killed 29 workers.
The families of the deceased miners, and the ones still working for Massey, deserve to know the truth about what happened in that mine prior to the explosion and on the day of. Massey Energy has not done a good job at being transparent and coherent enough to the downtrodden families and its wrong and sad. Show some moral integrity Blankenship! If any exists in that coal-baron body of yours.

First, a couple of quick announcements….
-No third video this week. I had to make a choice last night on what to do with my evening. I chose playing board games with my daughter (and my friend Janessa), and decided that two videos was enough for the week.
-I actually got a full night's sleep last night…first time that's happened on the night before a game in over a year.
-Yet another team from Michigan choked on the big game. Everyone expected the Tigers to roll over the Cardinals. Instead, they just rolled over. Just like last year's Pistons. And the Pistons the year before that. And the Wolverines in their Bowl game in 2005. And the Wolverines in their Bowl game in 2004. And the Wolverines in their Bowl game in 2003. And the Wolverines against Ohio State in 2005. And the Wolverines against Ohio State in 2004.
By now, everybody knows what to expect in today's Homecoming game against Minnesota. The Golden Gophers are NOT a good team, and the Buckeyes should dominate again today. I prefer to take a look deeper into teams, rather just just quote how many yards they average and leave it at that. Here's a few facts that will leave you smiling before the Bucks take the field.
-Minnesota has three wins on the year. One is against a team ranked in the Bottom 10 (0-8 Temple). One is against a Division 1-AA school (ND State, a one-point victory). One is against Kent State.
-In Big Ten play, Minnesota has allowed 32.75 points per game.
-They are ranked #96 in the NCAA in rush defense (Ball State actually has a better run defense at #94)
-They are tied for #86 in the NCAA against the pass. They are tied with Indiana….the team that allowed Troy Smith to throw for 4 TDs in a half last week.
Our offense, provided JT has prepared them properly (I know, I know) will have no trouble at all. The Buckeyes could tag another 40 on the board if they play well.
The defense will need to buckle down. Minnesota has already played 4 of the top 5 Big Ten teams, and they have averaged over 18 points per game. Today they meet the Big Ten's best team, and we MUST beat them by more than Michigan did.
If we can beat Minny more impressively than Michigan did, then we will have won the "battle of comparisons" over the Blue in all four games. The Blue didn't put Iowa away until 4 minutes remained. Penn State had the ball, down by 7 with less than 2 minutes to play. And Michigan State, while the respective scores were clearly in favor of Ohio State, take a look at yardage gained….OSU/MSU, 421-198….Michigan/MSU, 351-312.
Go make it four-for-four, Buckeyes.
My prediction
Ohio State 42
Minnesota 10

About LPS
The University of Pennsylvania's College of Liberal and Professional Studies (LPS) is housed within Penn's School of Arts and Sciences, the area of the University that is home to the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences. LPS offers an extraordinary education to highly qualified adult students. Some of our students seek to begin or complete their bachelor's degrees, but in recent years LPS has also become a magnet for students seeking post-baccalaureate study in professional master's and pre-professional programs in the humanities and the natural and social sciences.
Whatever the level of their studies, students at the College of Liberal and Professional Studies are intellectually capable adults who are fully engaged in their work, and for whom a Penn degree or individual courses serve two fully integrated aims: intellectual and personal enrichment, and career or academic advancement. These students come not only from Philadelphia and its environs but from all over the country—indeed, many of them come from abroad—specifically to study in LPS' innovative, multi-disciplinary programs.
Our students embody the values of the School of Arts and Sciences' commitment to bring knowledge, analysis, creativity, innovation, and invention to bear on society's most critical problems. These students are engaged in the world. They come to Penn with a sense of purpose and urgency and a strong sense of the problems facing the world in the 21st century, and they bring to Penn a unique combination of intellectual talent, maturity, and a broad spectrum of experience.

I wonder if the scroll was more powerful than anyone realized? Remember, Wanda got Parson as a result of Stanley disrupting her concentration badly during the spellcasting, and loading on a series of unexpected demands. If she'd maintained her concentration, she'd have been focusing on a standard Erfworld warlord, and probably gotten one (a very good one, granted, but still, a standard warlord). Instead, the spell did something really unexpected, and grabbed Parson.

La demanda para cultivos intensivos en mano de obra, es decir, frutas, nueces, verduras, melones y especialidades hortícolas, como flores y setas (productos FVH, por sus siglas en inglés), está aumentando junto con la población y el crecimiento de los ingresos en la región.
Esta ficha informativa analiza los cambios demográficos, los perfiles epidemiológicos y los patrones de migración en El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, México y los Estados Unidos.
As the European Commission looks ahead to the next strategic program for immigration in 2014, this policy brief sketches the challenges in developing a strategic, long-term agenda on migration at a time when Europe remains beset by fiscal uncertainty and a jobs crisis that is particularly acute for the young. Against such a backdrop, few governments are willing to have a serious conversation about anything but skilled immigration.
Over the past two decades, governing institutions in Mexico and parts of Central America have proven too primitive to cope with the volatility of democratic transitions. Organized crime has taken over key activities of various levels of government and corruption has become more entrenched. These regions must face the challenge of building democratic institutions capable of engaging in good governance.
The U.S. government has increased its attention to public security issues in Mexico and Central America since 2007. This report suggest the policy emphasis has begun to shift away from the earlier focus on combating drug trafficking and transnational crime toward addressing the citizen security crisis.
This report examines trends in manufacturing – with a focus on advanced manufacturing – in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and the United States. Although these countries' manufacturing histories and contexts are different, the sectors are increasingly interdependent, and the sector potentially holds great promise for improving individual livelihoods and overall regional competitiveness.
Crime and insecurity are undermining economic and social prosperity in Mexico and Central America, eroding public trust in government institutions. This report examines current economic, social, and political costs resulting from insecurity, and future implications.
The growth of organized crime in Mexico and Central America has dramatically increased the risks that migrants crossing the region face. As this report outlines, migrants increasingly are forced to seek the assistance of intermediaries, and those unable to afford one are more likely to be abused along the way.

Quickies!: Miss California's Mom May Be GAY?!
Nude Photo Leaks Are The New Publicity Stunt
In the last month, we've seen a lot more of celebrities and D-listers than we ever wanted, by way of leaked nude photos. We saw the lady lumps of Cassie, Miss California Carrie Prejean, and possibly Rihanna. It's too much of a coincidence that Cassie, Rihanna, and Carrie were robbed of nude photos within a few weeks of each other. Instead, maybe these women took a page from Heidi
Montag Pratt, who learned early in her career as an attention whore that a picture, any picture, is worth a thousand dollars or more. Perhaps these women, or a team of people close to them, orchestrated these "leaks" in order to boost their publicity. Keep reading »
Is Slut-Shaming Carrie Prejean Really Necessary?
When Carrie Prejean lost last month's Miss USA pageant because (some think) she opposed gay marriage, after which she did an ad for the National Organization for Marriage, rather than attending to her Miss California "duties," she made it pretty clear where her loyalty lies. It makes sense strategically — her anti-gay marriage stance ruined her appeal for many, but it did increase her popularity with a powerful few. Prejean hedged her bets by distancing herself from the Miss California Organization and lining up with those who had her back. She wasn't going to be a pageant queen forever, after all.
She should have handed over her crown to someone who was interested in fulfilling those Miss California duties — whatever they are — since she had better things to do. But she didn't and because of that — and Perez Hilton's relentless campaign against her — Prejean stayed in the spotlight and the inevitable happened. Topless photos! Of a beauty queen! Who believes in God! The hypocrisy! Let the slut-shaming begin! Keep reading »

Here She Comes, Miss Beautiful Morals
American beauty pageants are all about the long legs, shiny teeth and not saying anything too dense when asked, "How would you make the world a better place?" But at the Miss Beautiful Morals pageant in Saudi Arabia, there's no swimsuit competition.
Instead, in that deeply Islamic country where women are covered from head to toe in long robes called abayas, contestants vie to see who is most obedient of her parents. A hundred girls ranging in age from 15 to 25 will compete for the Miss Beautiful Morals crown. The queen wins $2,600, and each runner up wins $1,300. The real prize, those involved in the pageant say, is strengthening their devotion to their families. Keep reading »
Miss California Carrie Prejean Exposed
Oh, dear. Miss California Carrie Prejean, who made headlines for her answer to a question about gay marriage at last month's Miss USA pageant, has more secrets spilling out of her closet. First, it was revealed that the Miss California Organization paid for Prejean to get breast implants prior to the Miss USA pageant. Now, a topless photos of the beauty queen have been leaked to The Dirty. Miss USA judge Perez Hilton claims his sources say more photos of Prejean in a state of undress are due to hit the internet. Normally, I'd be like, "Topless? Who cares?" Considering Prejean believes "gay marriage isn't biblically correct," I'm amped to holler: "Hypocrite!" Stripping your top off and shooting the camera that come hither look is not what Jesus would do. Click here to see the full photo (safe for work!).
Prejean released a statement: "I am a Christian, and I am a model. Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos. Recently, photos that were taken of me as a teenager have been released surreptitiously to a tabloid website that openly mocks me for my Christian faith. I am not perfect, and I will never claim to be."
One small problem? This puts Prejean at odds with her contract with the Miss California Organization, which prohibits its representatives for posing for photographs in a state of full or partial nudity. Keep reading »

Pageant Organization Paid For Miss California's Boobs
Everyone's still talking about Miss California's gay marriage comments. Now there's more drama for 21-year-old beauty queen Carrie Prejean. Apparently, there were some nice perks for her as former Miss California. The state's pageant organization paid her bill for fake boobs.
Prejean received breast implants paid for by the Miss California Organization just weeks before she competed in the Miss USA pageant, confirmed Shanna Moakler, co-executive director of organization. Shanna told "Access Hollywood" that Carrie wanted breasts implants and the Miss California Organization "supported that decision." Shanna, herself a former Miss USA and an ex-Playboy Playmate, added, "Breast implants in pageants is not a rarity. It's definitely not taboo. It's very common. Breast implants today among young women today is very common." Keep reading »

Carrie Prejean Thinks People Choose To Be Gay
The now infamous Miss California, Carrie Prejean, is still on the defensive after last weekend's Miss USA pageant, in which she said marriage should be between a man and a woman and not the gays. This weekend she sat down with a gay blogger (not Perez Hilton!) to discuss her feelings on the subject in more depth. Rex Wockner got to the heart of the matter pretty quick.
Rex: I understand that you were raised to believe that marriage is between a man and a woman, and I understand that you grew up knowing that you were always going to marry a guy, but you're heterosexual. Um, some people are born gay, maybe, you think?
Carrie: No, I don't think so … I think it's a behavior that develops over time.
Rex: Why would someone choose it, given that if you choose that, you get discriminated against?
Carrie: I'm not sure what the motivation would be.
Better think of one fast Carrie, because that hole you're digging just keeps getting deeper! [Wockner via Jezebel] Keep reading »

The J. Paul Getty Museum will return to Sicily an ancient terracotta sculpture of the head of the Greek god Hades, which the Getty acquired in 1985.
The god of the underworld, which dates to 400-300 B.C., will be handed over to the Museo Archeologico in Aidone, Sicily, after it goes on a Getty-organized traveling exhibit, "Sicily: Art and Invention between Greece and Rome," which will be at the Getty Villa April 3 through Aug. 19.
The head is currently on view at the Getty Villa as part of the special installation "The Sanctuaries of Demeter and Persephone at Morgantina." It will be on display through Jan. 21.
"The Getty greatly values its relationship with our Sicilian colleagues, which culminated in the 2010 Cultural Collaboration Agreement," said Timothy Potts, director of the J. Paul Getty Museum. "This collaboration has brought significant opportunities for scholarly dialogue, joint conservation projects, and loans, most notably the 'Charioteer' from Mozia that is currently undergoing a thorough seismic conservation assessment and remounting in our conservation studios."
A joint investigation with Sicilian art experts led the Getty to the conclusion that the head should be returned.
Four terracotta fragments similar to the Hades head were found near Morgantina, Sicily; and antiquities experts determined that the head's original location was in a sanctuary that was clandestinely excavated in 1970, according to the Getty. The research also helped establish the sanctuary as one dedicated to Demeter, goddess of the harvest.
Since the 2010 agreement, the Getty has repatriated to their country of origin nearly 50 objects of art -- more than any other museum.
Most of the items have been returned to Italy and Greece, in part because the Getty's core collection specializes in Greek and Italian antiquities.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
Each Monday, The Herald Bulletin publishes "You Said It," a compilation of reader comments from www.theheraldbulletin.com, coupled with responses by the newspaper's editorial board.
The Anderson Morning Rotary Club has proposed a $3.7 million renovation of Athletic Park (Article published April 3).
THB: Such plans have been proposed for Athletic Park several times in recent years. It could add recreation options and improve the city's image. Now, something has to be done. What grants can be secured?
Anderson fire Chief Phil Rogers says that medics followed protocol when they left an ambulance unlocked and running. The ambulance was stolen and then crashed into a tree. Joseph L. Sandlin faces related charges. (April 4)
THB: Perhaps, if he's convicted and later employed, Sandlin's future work checks could be garnished to pay for the costs of repairing the damage from the accident.
Shawn Hunter, 37, was arrested on a warrant for methamphetamine-related charges, the latest in a recent litany of arrests for meth. (April 4)
THB: Meth manufacturing and use has become a scourge in this community. Let police know if you suspect the volatile drug is being produced and used in your neighborhood.
A roundabout near Pendleton will be among the first of its kind in Madison County. (April 4)
THB: Roundabouts can be a good way to keep slow traffic moving at congested spots. Let's see how this one in Pendleton works out.

No. 2 Seminoles Edge No. 1 Gators, 24-21, in Battle of Unbeatens
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Warrick Dunn rushed for 185 yards on 24 carries and Pooh Bear Williams scored his first two touchdowns of the season to lead second-ranked Florida State to a 24-21 victory over top-ranked Florida and a berth in the Sugar Bowl for the national championship.
Florida State (11-0) will move to the top spot of the college football polls and play January 2nd in the Sugar Bowl. If Nebraska beats Texas in the Big 12 championship game at St. Louis on December 7th, then the Cornhuskers will be the likely opponent for Florida State.
"It's not my biggest win ever, but it ranks up there," said Florida State coach Bobby Bowden, who is 5-2-1 against Florida coach Steve Spurrier. "But for the kids, it's their biggest win."
"I'm real happy to perform like this in a game of this magnitude," said Dunn. " "We have so many weapons on offense. That gives any defense a tough time to key on any one guy."
It was the first regular season meeting between number one and number two in three years. Florida State was involved in the previous game as the number one team and lost at second-ranked Notre Dame, 31-24, in November of 1993. But Florida State went on to win the national championship that season.
Florida (10-1) will play Alabama for the SEC Championship on December 7th at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
Florida's Danny Wuerffel, the leading Heisman Trophy candidate, passed for 362 yards and three touchdowns, but threw three interceptions and was sacked six times. He completed 23-of-48 passes. Florida State nose guard Andre Wadsworth had two of the six sacks.
Reidel Anthony had 11 catches for 193 yards, including a two-yard touchdown, for Florida.
The battle between the two top teams in the country was a tale of two quarters in the first half. Florida State stormed to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter, but the Gators responded with 14 second quarter points to pull within 17-14 at halftime.
Williams' second touchdown of the game - a one-yard run with 7:15 left in the fourth quarter -- increased Florida State's lead to 24-14.
"It's fun to bang heads near the goal line," said the 276-pound Williams. "Our offensive line played well today. They blocked great for Warrick and didn't allow anyone near our quarterback."
But Florida drove 80 yards on eight plays with the help of two pass interference penalties, and closed within 24-21 on a leaping two-yard touchdown catch by Anthony with 1:19 remaining.
Florida then attempted an on-side kick, but Matt Teague's kick rolled out of bounds and Florida State ran out the rest of the clock.
Dunn rushed for 133 yards on 12 carries and Florida State intercepted Wuerffel three times and blocked a punt in the first half, but only held a 17-14 lead. But the Seminoles hurt themselves repeatedly with penalties, committing nine for 109 yards.
"I told our team at halftime about the penalties," said Bowden. "Penalties, penalties, penalties. We gave them their second touchdown because of penalties."
Florida State finished with 12 penalties for 143 yards.
Linebacker Daryl Owens intercepted a pass by Wuerffel in the Florida State end zone on the Gators' first possession. The Seminoles then put together a 13-play, 72-yard scoring drive, which resulted in a 26-yard field goal by Scott Bentley with 6:43 left in the first quarter.
Florida State star defensive end Peter Boulware, who leads the nation with 19 sacks, then made the key play on special teams with a blocked punt. Shevin Smith recovered the ball for Florida State at the Florida three-yard line. One play later, Williams scored on a three-yard run to give Florida a 10-0 lead with 3:07 left in the quarter.
Thad Busby hit tight end Melvin Pearsall with a one-yard touchdown pass with 59 seconds left in the quarter to increase the lead to 17-0. Busby hit freshman Peter Warrick with a 29-yard pass to the Florida one-yard line to set up the touchdown. Warrick finished with three catches for 70 yards.
Busby completed 12-of-32 passes for 124 yards with no interceptions. He was just 5-of-18 for 59 yards in the second half.
Florida was rattled after Florida State's 17-point first quarter and appeared on the verge of falling apart, similar to last year's 62-24 loss to Nebraska in last January's Fiesta Bowl for the 1995 national title.
Florida State was ready to apply the knockout punch after linebacker Vernon Crawford intercepted a pass by Wuerffel, but Seminoles cornerback Byron Capers was called for pass interference.
On the next play, Wuerffel hit Anthony with a 50-yard bomb down the left sideline to the Florida State one-yard line. Wuerffel then connected with Jacquez Green on a one-yard scoring play with 12:22 left in the second quarter.
Florida later put together a six-play, 71-yard drive with the help of two personal fouls worth 30 yards. A personal foul penalty after a third down incompletion put the ball at the Florida State 24-yard line and a roughing the passer penalty advanced the ball to the 9-yard line.
Wuerffel then hit Green with a nine-yard touchdown with 9:29 left in the half to pull the Gators within 17-14.
Later in the quarter, Florida was driving in Florida State territory. But Wuerffel had a long pass intercepted by Seminoles cornerback Samari Rolle at the Florida State 23.
Florida again penetrated Florida State territory in the closing seconds of the half after a 14-yard pass from Wuerffel to Anthony to the 36-yard line. But Bart Edmiston missed a 53-yard field goal attempt as time expired.
After a scoreless third quarter, Florida threatened early in the fourth. Wuerffel hit Anthony with a 26-yard scoring pass which would have given the Gators the lead, but the play was nullified by a holding call. Edmiston then missed a 41-yard field goal attempt with 12:03 left.
Florida State then embarked on an 11-play, 75-yard scoring drive, capped by Williams' second touchdown of the game.
This was just the fourth time in Division I-A football history that two teams have gone into the final game of the regular season against each other with undefeated and untied records.
The last time came on November 24th, 1973, when Ohio State and Michigan played to a 10-10 tie. Ohio State defeated Michigan in 1970 and Notre Dame played Michigan State to a 10-10 tie in 1966 the other two times.

The Daily Iowegian
---- — Hello everyone. This is such a busy time of year here in Exline with all the preparations for the Fourth of July! The whole town is buzzing with activity. God bless the girls at the Exline store for their hard work. The July birthday party was held on July 3 and there were about 15 people who came and there was some delicious cake and ice cream. Tom Davis' birthday is July 15 and our anniversaries were Tom and Joni Davis 35 years and Tina and Mike Sudbrock 34 years.
A quick reminder they are still looking for donations for the Veteran's Memorial and Flag project. They need to raise $3,500. They are also still selling bricks as well.
The city council meeting was moved to next Tuesday at 7 p.m. due to the city clerk being on vacation. The Permaculture Society will meet July 9 at 7 p.m.
I love hand written letters and I received one this week from Berta Lee (Eddy). She sent me a long letter on her family reunion at the Exline Community Center and although I won't print it all I felt that I would put a little bit in.
The late Clyde Eddy descendent reunion which began in the 1950s still continues to happen every year! Although not all have been held in Exline, the last 20 have. There were a few in Montezuma and a few other places. It is still jam packed full of people that attend and this year was no different. Berta Lee wrote that more than 40 people attended this year's reunion from all over Iowa and even some from as far away as Texas. A great time of food and fun was had by all and next year's plans are in the works.
There is now a little news box at the Exline Store that you can leave anything you want to have put in the article for the next week. You can also reach me at (641) 658-2233 or e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. We love to hear about all things Exline so please let us know.
