Life's tough when you have a 300+ Cow herd to be tracking in Wyoming. But cowboys are finding that with radio tagging and a Palm PDA loaded with the newest cow tracking software from WYTrax, keeping track of Bessy isn't so hard after all.
A Palm m505 running WYTrax Cow Tracking software
All you have to do is stick a computer-chipped, radio frequency identification tag into a cow's ear, give a ranchhand a wireless, handheld personal digital assistant and with the wave of a bright-blue wand (the Wireless Bluetooth Tag Reader), Wyoming's 21st Century cowboy can tell you everything you want to know about that particular animal.
+ = trackable cow
The Wireless Bluetooth tag reader allows to scan your cows vital signs and transfer to the Palm
"It's pretty funny to imagine these ranchers walking around with these PDAs in their pockets ... but it is incredible what these (devices) will do," said the director of Wyoming Stock Growers Association Olsen "It's another very user-friendly tool ... that uses the latest technology."
My favorite form is the "Breeding Record" form
WYTrax's electronic individual data system offers three methods of data entry.

Tuesday night, eight contestants sang karaoke songs at restaurant in Sunset Hills as they competed for a spot in the grand finale of the St. Louis Idol Karaoke contest.
Throughout this year, Mile 277 Tap & Grill in Sunset Hills has hosted the event, which seeks to raise money for the St. Louis Idol's Line of Duty Fund, a fund used to benefit law enforcement and emergency personnel charities, such as BackStoppers, The St. Louis Police Foundation and the Barwick/Newton Fund.
The music was provided by DJ Mike Kempf, of Shaggy Sounds DJ Services.
The winners of the night were singers Gary Layton and Cari Stensaker. The two will go on to the Grand Finale this Saturday, April 28, at Cotter's Sports Bar in South St. Louis.
"It's fun; I love singing and watching the crowd get excited with my songs," said contest winner Stensaker, who grew up in Sunset Hills and now lives in St. Louis City.
"I'm not shy and I've been singing my whole life," said Layton, the other winner of the contest. "I also think this is a great cause that I am happy to support."

I'm curious as to which would have more kick;
A single 300w amp to two 4ohm 10s bridged
or two 300w amps each to an individual 4ohm 10
The latter is currently what I have. I'm not getting much kick but I'm getting deafening amounts of "high bass" or that humming/rumbling sound. Whatever you want to call it.
The 10's are ancient mtx's in a vented, parallel box and came with a tiny 200w amp. But the guy who had it before me changed it to a series box so I was pushing a 200w amp across 8ohms. After about a year my amp fried and so I got two kicker zx300.1s and it's a lot louder but it doesn't have the kick I'm looking for.
Any suggestions?
Also I have MOMO 6500's in the front running off of a pioneer fhp8000(14w rms) HU because I'm waiting on the eclipse XA4200 I ordered but its been on backorder for over a month. I'm afraid of turning my volume up over wind noise because I'm thinking the HU is going to clip and damage them. Is this a legitimate fear? And would it be ok to run my 6500 midwoofers in series and slap em on a zx300.1 with the tweets running of the HU?

NEW YORK — Crude prices spiked above $102 a barrel for the first time Wednesday, then retreated after the government reported the nation is greased with more oil and gasoline than expected.
Prices nonetheless stayed within range of Tuesday's record close as the dollar tumbled to fresh lows against the euro and U.S. economic worries drove more money into energy futures as a hedge against inflation.
"This is a market that has been trending strongly to the upside, ignoring fundamentals and focusing on other factors," said Tim Evans, an energy analyst at Citigroup Global Markets. "They are not looking at how oil supply compares with oil demand."
Light, sweet crude for April delivery fell $1.24 to settle at $99.64 on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after surging as high as $102.08 a barrel. On Tuesday, the contract jumped $1.65 to settle at a record $100.88 a barrel.
At the pump, gasoline prices added a penny overnight, rising to an average of $3.15 from $3.14, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. In the Triangle, the average price was $3.18, up 19 cents in a month. At this time last year, drivers were paying $2.33 a gallon in the Triangle, and the national average was $2.37. Industry observers say prices will likely top May's peak of $3.23 as stations begin to switch to more expensive summer-grade fuel.
The report by the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration showed U.S. crude oil inventories rose by 3.2 million barrels, or 1 percent, to 308.5 million barrels. Although that number is slightly lower than levels a year ago, it is well ahead of the 2.4 million barrel gain analysts had been expecting.
It was the seventh straight week the report showed a rise in crude inventories, suggesting the U.S. at least has more than enough oil to meet demand. Data showed gasoline inventories also rose more than expected -- by 2.3 million barrels to 232.6 million barrels; analysts had expected a more modest rise of 400,000 barrels. Refinery activity also increased much more than expected.
Jim Ritterbusch, president of energy consultancy Ritterbusch and Associates in Galena, Ill., said the report offered the market a number of bearish signals. But, he noted, traders of late have focused on other factors than just supply in deciding whether to buy or sell.
"We had somewhat of a tug-of-war going on all day long with an upward pull from the weak dollar and a downward pull from the statistics," he said. "As long as the dollar keeps making all-time lows against the euro, selling isn't going to be real aggressive."
The 15-nation euro jumped to a record $1.51 against the greenback, meaning that crude remains a relative bargain for buyers overseas. Gold -- another commodity seen as a hedge against inflation -- also struck a record high.
Oil prices are still within the range of inflation-adjusted highs set in early 1980. Depending on how the adjustment is calculated, $38 a barrel then would be worth $96 to $103 today.
In other Nymex trading Wednesday, heating oil futures fell 4.39 cents to $2.77, while gasoline futures fell by 7.28 cents to $2.48.
Natural gas futures lost 27 cents to settle at $8.93 per 1,000 cubic feet.

BY BOB GWIZDZ, Outdoors columnist
---- — GLADWIN —-- We started out in the place where Al Stewart and I have been opening woodcock season in recent years — a low-lying alder thicket along a creek where the ground squishes under your boots as you maneuvered through.
Three things were almost immediately apparent, though: The ground was a lot less squishy than usual, the grass was knee-high on a giraffe, and the woodcock were conspicuous by their absence.
Blame it on the weather this year.
"In those areas that are usually wet or moist soils, there's usually very little grass or vegetation there," said Al Stewart, the Department of Natural Resources upland game bird specialist. "In a year like this, when it was dryer in spring and summer, the conditions were favorable for grasses to grow. It becomes really thick in there. That's not attractive to woodcock." Sounds kind of opposite to conventional wisdom, eh? Woodcock generally like habitat as thick as nose tackles' bellies. But it's a different kind of thick.
"Woodcock like to be able to see around a little bit," Stewart said. "They're found in thick cover but not where ground cover is thick vertical cover. Like bracket ferns; if you're standing above it, you can't see very much, but if you were lying on your belly, you can see quite a distance. That's a little more attractive to woodcock."
We followed the creek bottom until Rub, my English setter, started moving off in an upland direction. His bell stopped. We stepped up to find him frozen on point. Stewart's son Chris was positioned on one side of him, I was on the other and Al came up behind him. A woodcock sprang into flight, but his path was quickly intercepted with a load of shot. We were in the plus column.
It sort of set the tone for the rest of the day. We found the bulk of our birds on upland sites. Most of the lowlands were too grassy for the timberdoodles.
Woodcock are sort of poor relations to grouse. They are often found in similar habitat, though grouse are much more highly prized. Ask an upland bird hunter what he's doing in the aspens and he'll likely reply "grouse hunting," even if he's got woodcock in his game bag.
Woodcock are sort of evolutionarily bizarre birds. They are in the same family as shore birds — to an untrained eye, they look mightily like snipe — but they have adapted to uplands. Their most prominent feature — after their long bills, which they use to probe for subterranean invertebrates — is their large eyes, which are set well back in their heads. One can see that they like to see.
Michigan is the woodcock-huntingest state in the union and that probably applies to Canada, too. Residents of the eastern half of North America, woodcock have been in a long-term population decline. So much so, that the feds — woodcock are migratory birds — are sponsoring a national initiative to improve their numbers.
"Until about three years ago, woodcock had been experiencing a 1.2 to 1.3 percent decline per year since 1968," said Stewart, who knows these things. "In the last three years that's kind of leveled out a little more. There's still a decline, but not as significant as it was just a few years ago.
'We don't have all the answers yet to say why that decline has leveled off. But it was fairly precipitous until just a few years ago."
Indeed, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service — which oversees woodcock hunting nationally along the same line as it does waterfowl hunting — took action about a decade ago, reducing the length of the season (it used to be 60 days; now it's 45) and requiring that it open later (the Saturday closest to Sept. 22; it used to open on Sept. 15 as grouse season did).
"It's not that they're endangered," Stewart said. "It's just something we're seeing, a point for concern. But they're not rare. They're still common." Indeed, just minutes later, Rub locked up on point again. This time, however, the bird never flew anywhere where any of us could shoot.
That's pretty common, too.
The decline in woodcock populations is assumed to correspond to a similar decline in young-aged forests on the landscape. Woodcock prefer habitat with significant stem density. That's how biologists hope to combat the population downturn.
"We're focusing in on young forests on our public lands, maintaining the kind of habitat that is good for woodcock and grouse and snowshoe hares," Stewart said.
And that means aspen — not so much because aspen is the only answer, but it is the most viable economically. Aspen has commercial value.
"What we're striving for is no nets loss of aspen," Stewart said. "Aspen provides that core piece that these species utilize. It's about habitat and social value of young forests; just as we've given value to wetlands, to old-growth forests, to grasslands, young forests have been neglected as to people understanding their full value." This is so for other species that thrive in early successional forests, too, not just game species. Gold-winged warbler populations, for instance, have been in steep decline as young forest habitat disappeared. Fully a third of American bird species utilize young forests at some point in their lives.
We spent about three hours hunting, working one dog at a time — Chris has a young setter that the Stewarts wanted to run alone — until rain and hail cut our day short. But we flew 16 woodcock (and four grouse). That's might be fewer than Stewart and I have flushed in years past. But when you consider our day was cut short and we came up empty in what are traditionally our best spots, it wasn't too bad at all.

The DeKalb County Board of Education now has an $8.3 million reserve fund, following a heated debate Thursday evening at the district's headquarters in Stone Mountain.
The final vote on the new budget was 5-4. The board faced an $85 million budget deficit. "It was a hard decision. There were hard choices across the board," said DeKalb School System spokesman Walter Woods. "We've been deliberating for weeks, and now we have a budget we can work with."
The main points of the budget are:
- There are four furlough days on the current calendar; there will be an additional two furlough days for a total of six furlough days, for Central Office and educators.
- Additional two students per class, standard and special education classes.
- A 1-mill tax increase, which is about $80 on a $200,000 house per year.
- Fernbank's budget has been reduced by $1.9 million from its budget of $5 million. It will remain open as a fully functioning science center.
"If this is what they can do to operate the budget, we still have to put the children first," said Lucinda O'Neal, a social studies teacher at Redan Middle School, where she's taught for at least ten years. "As an educator, I'm committed."

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — War is horror
I don't mean to be insensitive at this somber time. The Oklahoma City bombing, Columbine, 9/11, the Sandy Hook massacre, the daily violence in our country, and now the Boston Marathon bombings, leave us saddened and angry. We try to figure out what is going wrong.
But this is comparable to war.
If the media captured, with the same intensity as Boston, the terror felt by innocent civilians and U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, our country would surely feel outrage, sadness and anger. People running in horror, lost loved ones, children maimed, 2,754 civilians (people like you and I) killed in Afghanistan in 2012, 4,805 wounded.
Our troops? Over 33,000 wounded? Over 2,400 amputations?
More soldiers committing suicide than those killed in action?
For 11 years this has been going on. Does there have to be a national tragedy for our media to show us the pain?
Why do they not show the pain of citizens in other countries ravaged by war? They are people just like us. We must stop the madness.
What you saw April 15 in Boston was war. Those who were there experienced it. War is horror.

Reinstate the pound
We are witnessing the collapse of the Cypriot economy. Cyprus has been in political trouble since the departure of England in 1960. But the current financial crisis began with the entrance of Cyprus in the Eurozone.
Joining the Eurozone means Cyprus gave up temporally its ability to print money.
Now the troika (the European Central Bank, IMF and the European Commission) is abusing its power as a lender by imposing hard terms including a harsh austerity program.
But the most devastating term is the demand for Cyprus to abandon its role as a regional financial center and abandon the policies of attracting foreign investments.
That is killing the Cypriot economy.
The foreign investment is the oxygen of the economy.
Such policies are been practiced by many countries, including the wealthiest European country of Luxemburg.
It looks that the only healthy solution for Cyprus is to reintroduce the Cypriot pound as its currency.
If the European Union's leadership is really interested in the well being of Cyprus it is obliged to provide assistance.
After all, the trouble in Cyprus began with the European Union's decision to forefeit about four billion euros the Greek banks owed to Cypriot banks.

This simple sequence will strengthen the lower back muscles, alleviate aches, and help prevent future injury. Depending on your level of comfort and overall flexibility, choose wisely — only practice the poses that suit your needs at this time! Be sure to listen to your body and breathe deep as you flow. Photo: Jenny Sugar Mountain Pose What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Stand at the front of your mat, feet together, legs active, and arms by your sides. Bring your awareness inward and do a scan of your body to see where you are holding any tension or stress. Create an intention for your practice. Stay for five breaths. Photo: Jenny Sugar 1 / 11 Standing Forward Bend What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 From Mountain Pose at the front of your mat, inhale and reach your arms straight above you. As you exhale, engage your abs and fold forward with a straight back. Tuck your chin in toward your chest, relax your shoulders, and extend the crown of the head toward the floor to create a long spine. Shift your weight forward onto your toes, straightening the legs as much as possible. Place your hands on the ground, fingertips lining up with the toes. Hold here for five breaths. Photo: Jenny Sugar 2 / 11 Tipover Tuck What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While hanging out in Standard Forward Bend, reach your arms behind you and interlace your fingers right below your sacrum (the back of your pelvis). Actively pull your hands away from your shoulders to increase the stretch in your chest. Make sure you're lengthening through your spine by reaching the top of your head toward the floor. Stay like this for at least 30 seconds and, when you're ready to come out, actively press into your feet, engage your thighs, and slowly lift your torso back up to a standing position. Photo: Jenny Sugar 3 / 11 Chair Pose What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 After you roll up from Tipover Tuck and release your arms, stand with your feet together back in Mountain Pose. Bend your knees and lower your hips as you raise your arms overhead. Focus on sitting back onto your heels. Tuck your tailbone in and engage your abs, keeping your spine straight. Relax the shoulders as you gaze up toward the ceiling. Stay like this for five breaths. Photo: Jenny Sugar 4 / 11 Relaxed Downward Dog What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 From Chair Pose, drop to your hands and knees. Then press back into Downward Facing Dog. For this relaxed version, bend your knees, lift your heels off the mat, and allow your spine to arch, pressing your navel toward your thighs. Stay like this for five breaths. Photo: Jenny Sugar 6 / 11 Downward Dog What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Once you've spent a little time in the relaxed version, press back for the full expression of Downward Dog. Spread your fingers wide and create a straight line between your middle fingers and elbows. Work on straightening your legs and lowering your heels toward the ground. Your heels should be slightly wider than your toes, so the outside edges of your feet are parallel with the outside edges of your mat. Relax your head between your arms and direct your gaze through your legs or up toward your belly button. Work on holding for at least five breaths. Photo: Jenny Sugar 6 / 11 Extended Side Angle What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 From Downward Facing Dog, step your right foot forward between your hands and rise up into Warrior 1. Open your hips, arms, and chest into Warrior 2. Place your right hand on the ground behind your right foot (on the little toe side). If this stretch is too intense, place your right elbow on your right quad with the palm facing up. Extend your left arm straight up, turning your palm down, so your thumb is pointing behind you. Stay here for five breaths. Come back to Down Dog and repeat this pose on the left side. Photo: Jenny Sugar 7 / 11 Locust Pose What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 After Extended Side angle on both sides, stretch things out in a quick Downward Facing Dog. Then drop your knees to the ground, and lie on your belly with your legs together. Place your arms by your sides so your palms are facing up. As you inhale, lift your legs, head, and upper body off the floor. Your hands remain on the floor for support. As you breathe, extend the crown of your head away from your toes, lengthening as much as you can through your spine. Stay for five breaths and then release back to the mat. Photo: Jenny Sugar 8 / 11 Upward Facing Dog What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 From Locust Pose, place your forehead on the floor for a quick rest. Plant your hands into your mat on either side of your chest, elbows pointing toward the back of the room. Press the tops of your feet into the mat. Inhale a breath as you scoop your chest forward, balancing on the tops of your feet and your hands, coming into Upward Facing Dog. Lower your head back between your shoulder blades. Pull your shoulders blades down your back. Hold for five breaths. Photo: Jenny Sugar 9 / 11 Bridge Pose What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 From Upward Dog, flip over onto your back and lie flat with your arms along the sides of your body, palms facing down. Bend your knees, placing your heels as close as you can to your butt. With your palms and feet pressing firmly into the ground, lift your hips up. Keep your palms on the mat or clasp your hands together below your pelvis, extending through your arms. Or you can also bend your elbows and rest your hands on your lower back. If your feet are close enough, you can also hold your ankles. Stay here for five deep breaths, lifting your hips up as high as you can. Photo: Jenny Sugar 11 / 11 Staff Pose What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 After you release Bridge Pose, come to sit on your mat with both legs together. Place your palms flat on the floor beside your hips, actively pressing them into the ground. Keep both arms as straight as possible and lengthen your spine, imagining it is a sturdy staff or cane someone would use to walk with. Roll your shoulders away from your ears and tuck your chin. Engage your leg muscles and flex your feet. Stay here for five deep breaths, keeping your belly still, and then release.

As long as good information never goes out of style, librarians will have job security. They may ply their trade in another guise — "media specialist" "information technician" "content coordinator" — but they know who they are.
They're librarians.
As long as there are friends settling bets, there will be librarians who can supply the answer that nets the winner the jackpot.
As long as there are "Trivial Pursuit" tournaments, there will be lifelines to, in many cases, librarians.
As long as people exist who wouldn't know a fact if it hit them over the head, there will be librarians, at the ready, to lift them out of their slough of ignorance.
So if you can put up with the stress of dealing with your less-well-informed fellow human beings and the often-frustrating lack of full employment, you can hang in there.

Comments about Sixsixone Coresaver '11:
Good compromise for someone who doesnt want to wear full armor because they can be too hot and cumbersome. Covers the more critcal areas. Its a little warm (no way around that really), but much better than a full suit. Fits under a tshirt or jersey well, forget its on after a few minutes. Wish it had a little more in the shoulders. Haven't had any major crashes in it yet, but I sure feel more invincable!

At the music hall in Boston in late May, Bruce Springsteen begins a song in almost total darkness, a single blue spotlight faintly limning the singer during the quiet opening minutes of "Thunder Road." It's a magic moment, avoiding pretentiousness only because it works. Springsteen has carefully cultivated the Method actor's idiosyncratic timing, added a professional street character's sense of the dramatic, a dancer's knack for picaresque tableaux, and wrapped the whole package in explosive vulnerability and the practiced pose of a tender, punky hood. Thus the upcoming, split-second move from singular near-silence into vehement, resounding rock & roll as the band joins in-a strategy picked up from R&B groups and one which Springsteen will repeat all night–is a surprise only to the uninitiated, a delicious treat to the aficionado. The sound of the bass drum is so loud that the girl on my left literally clutches her heart. Tonight has an air of expectancy–one may say even privilege. There's an intensity present, a premonition that this is where the best music in America might well be happening in the next few hours, and the hope that it may be true. It is. Between songs, Springsteen practically becomes a member of the audience. He prowls the edge of the stage, shaking hands and talking to those ecstatic fans who, by standing on their seats, can lean forward and touch him. He's an easy mark. After "Born to Run," when the crowd offers him a tremendous ovation, he subverts the applause by holding up his guitar as if it were some communal instrument of magic, something which he alone does not own. All of a sudden, I realize that we are making this glorious noise not for the pride of one man but for the power of rock & roll.
100 Greatest Artists: Bruce Springsteen
Backstage, Bruce Springsteen is so shy and unassuming you could mistake him for his own roadie. Since he's shaved his beard, few people seem to recognize him immediately, a fact that producer Jon Landau verifies by saying that, during the making of Darkness on the Edge of Town, Springsteen could walk the streets of New York City totally unnoticed. Now, sipping a Pepsi and making everyone feel at home, he appears both eager to get people's reactions to the concert and LP and anxious to avoid drawn-out analytical questions about What It All Means. The notoriety of those Time and Newsweek cover stories about Born to Run still seems to haunt him somewhat, but like a tired, albeit polite, host who might secretly wish he could postpone all discussion until things cool out a bit, he's a model of professional and personal courtesy.
Springsteen and I first met in 1973, right before his first record, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J., came out. Tonight, I'm aware that this friendship gives me an edge – that instead of giving me a formal interview, he'd probably rather just talk – and I'm more than a little uneasy about it. When the tape recorder is turned on, both of us are careful not to cross a certain line. I'm glad to see him, but wish the circumstances were different. He seems to feel the same way.
Springsteen laughs when I ask him if it's true that he once said people riding in cars were his genre, and that he'd like to begin every song with the same line or image. And often seems to.
"Oh, yeah," he says. "During the record, I think Jon [Landau] said, 'What's all this about these cars?' I think we were doing 'Prove It All Night,' and it had a different first verse. But it [the car imagery] is just a general thing that forms the action in a particular way. The action is not the imagery, you know. The heart of the action is beneath all that stuff. There's a separate thing happening all the time. I sort of always saw it as the way certain people make certain kinds of movies."
Like detective movies and westerns?
"That's always how I saw the songs. They always had a sort of drive–in quality to them." Springsteen is animated now, smiling, punctuating his sentences with his hands. "Like I wasn't really going for – in a way, I was, aiming for the big Hollywood opening, but they really had more of a drive-in quality. Which is what I wanted because that's where I wanted to work. Plus I'd gotten into seeing movies. I saw The Grapes of Wrath on TV, which I used to turn off."
100 Greatest Singers: Bruce Springsteen
I shake my head in mock sorrow and horror. Springsteen breaks up.
"That's a terrible thing to say, but I always remember turning it off and turning on something that was in color. Then I realized it was a stupid thing to do because one night Jon and I watched it, and it opened up a whole particular world to me. It was very interesting, just a way to watch movies–just a way to observe things, period. Over the past year or two, I got into all the John Ford westerns and seeing just how he made his particular movies."
Sometimes Ford and other auteur directors remade the same movie with a slightly different emphasis, I suggest.
"Yeah, and that had a big influence on the way I approached my own work. I loved all those movies, you know. I just felt real close to that stuff."

Terre Haute, Ind. - March 13, 2009 - Nikki Hay and Fatima Rose both represented Springfield College on Friday afternoon as the duo competed in the 2009 NCAA Division III Men's and Women's Indoor Track and Field Championships.
Hay, who qualified to run the 55 meter dash and the compete in the triple jump throughout this weekend, ran the 55 meters on Friday evening. The 2009 New England Women's Field Athlete of the Year did not qualify for the finals as she ran a 7.32 in the prelims on Friday. Hay ran in the faster of the two heats, as Judy Bataille of Heidelberg College ran the fastest time of the day with a 7.09. Five of the seven runners in Hay's heat qualified for the finals which will be run on Saturday.
Hay's specialty is coming up on Saturday as she enters the triple jump competition with the longest triple jump of the year to date in Division III, a distance of 11.97 meters or 39-3 1/4, that she reached last weekend at the ECAC Division III Championships. The preliminaries are scheduled for Saturday morning at 11:30, with the top nine jumpers advancing to the finals.
Rose did not record a distance as she competed in the weight throw competition. Rose qualified in the weight throw last weekend at the ECAC Division III Championships with a toss of 16.58 meters, or 54-4 3/4.

Susannah Breslin, Contributor
I cover vice.
I go to get a mammogram.
I don't like getting mammograms.
But, then again, who does?
1. The Mammogram.
The place I'm going is called the Breast Center. On the train, I imagine the building is in the shape of a giant, skyward-turned breast, like an enormous Claes Oldenburg sculpture of a tit, and there is a door in the side of the boob and maybe the nipple is a massive skylight.
Instead, the Breast Center is a building that looks like a hospital. I get in the elevator. I go to the right floor.
I wait in a waiting room. Eventually, someone gets me and takes me to a dressing room, where I remove everything from the waist up and put on a smock. The smock is too big. I'm tall, but the large-sized ones, I realize, are for women with massive boobs, which I do not have. I am drowning in this smock.
I go in the mammogram room. The woman doing the mammograms looks bored. I tell her that I'm nervous. She says something noncommittal. She tells me to stand close to the machine. She takes my breast and mashes it into the machine. She cranks the machine like a vise around my breast, which hurts. She keeps trying to reposition me, because my boobs aren't very big. At one point, she takes her hand, places it on the side of my head, and cranks my head to the side, my boob still stuck in the machine. I hold my breath. The machine whirrs. We do the other side.
I go home.
Susannah –
I am so sorry that you were alone for all of those procedures and when hearing the results.
That being said, this is an amazing piece and I felt right there with you all the way through it.
I am sending all my good vibes to you that the cancer is localized to your one breast and that the procedure to remove it is fast and pain free.
Lastly, this has reminded me that it's time for a mammogram, and should be a reminder to every woman that reads this.
Trademark Susannah: Brave, honest, no-nonsense, both tender and sharp. I really appreciate the pacing of this piece…we all needed time to get the news, just like you did. This might be your most important work yet. Thank you for sharing this intimate story and we'll get through this.
I like how you described her piece. You must be an editor or something. :)
Suannah – this is harrowing in every way possible. Thank you for sharing this. I hope you can keep writing about it and that writing will help get you through the ordeal. No one wants to experience the "new normal."
So sorry about the diagnosis, and so brave of you to share it publicly. I hoped to read that the tumor was non-malignant, and just another example of why women under 40 don't need annual mammograms (unless there's a family history).
We are here for you. Lets kick some cancer ass.

I've been on an Oriental food kick lately. Food is one thing, but this also involved unearthing lotus bowls, a sake set and a teapot and cups from a box in the basement. Why do things half way?
The hot sour soup was great; the potstickers were a disaster! There are some things that should be left to the experts and a kitchen with a crew. Anyway, last night I left my chili paste, golden needles and Szechuan peppercorns in the cabinet and pulled out an old recipe for a simple Chicken Chow Mein. If I'm remembering correctly, this recipe came from a Betty Crocker Cookbook that was popular in the 1950's. Hardly Chinese! To be fair, I don't think that Chow Mein is authentic either. It was something that Chinese restaurants developed to appeal to Americans.
This is a classic remembered taste of something you might have had years ago on your first trip to a Chinese restaurant. It requires a bit of slicing and dicing, but it's easy to pull together and tastes great.
1/4 C vegetable oil
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 C sliced Chinese cabbage (Bok Choy)
3 C sliced celery (I use half onion; half celery)
bean sprouts (small package of fresh)
1 can water chestnuts (rinse them well)
2 tsp sugar
2 C chicken broth
2 TBS corn starch
1/4 C soy sauce
1/4 C water
2 C diced cooked chicken
1. Heat oil, salt and pepper in a deep pan.
2. Add the cabbage, onions, celery, bean sprouts, water chestnuts and sugar, Stir to combine.
3. Add the chicken broth; cook approximately 10 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
4. Mix the corn starch, water and soy sauce; add to the vegetables. Stir until thickened.
5. Add the chicken and heat through.
6. Serve with rice or crispy chow mein noodles. Keep the soy sauce handy if anyone wants it a bit saltier.
In general, I prefer spicy Szechuan or Hunan style Chinese food, but there's something about this inauthentic dish that's a throwback to a simpler time. Sort of like Campbell's tomato soup. I routinely make my own soup, but there are times when there's nothing better than good old Campbell's tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich. Chicken Chow Mein is the Chinese equivalent of that for me.

Living in the Story
Telling a great story with your life is not easy. It's often exhausting, terribly so—and yet a growing number of evangelical writers passionately encourage us to "tell a great story with your life" or "stop trying to increase your influence …Read More
Contending for Peace and Purity
I spent my first year of college at a second-degree separatist school that was founded by the Bible Presbyterian Church. The men who founded the college were colleagues of Carl MacIntyre, Allan MacRae, J. Gresham Machen, and Bob Jones Jr. …Read More

The National Agricultural Extension Centre will earmark more than VND102 billion (US$4.9 million) for several fisheries projects to be undertaken until 2015.
They will seek to provide farmers with knowledge and technologies required to make aquaculture more efficient and sustainable.
They also aimed to ensure food safety and hygiene, protect the environment and aquatic resources, and contribute to restructuring the rural coastal economy, creating jobs and increasing farmers' incomes, the centre said.
Priority would be given to projects using modern technologies and with high productivity and quality to raise the prestige of the country's seafood brands, including those for breeding sugpo prawns, white-leg shrimp, tra and basa fish, and tilapia in Lang Son, Yen Bai, Ha Giang and Son La provinces.
They will conform to GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) standards.
There will also be projects to farm traditional fishes to in Tuyen Quang, Lao Cai, Lai Chau, Phu Tho, Quang Ngai, Soc Trang, Ca Mau and many other provinces.
Farming of fresh and brackish water fish will be strengthened.

Corsicana Daily Sun
Corsicana —
I have pooh-poohed the idea of the Mayan calendar and the end of the world coming on 12/21/12. I figured that any civilization that couldn't come up with the wheel or the internet certainly couldn't figure out just when the world would end. However, I've started seeing signs, and my beliefs are starting to waiver. Could the almost extinct Central Americans be onto something? I'll let you be the judge.
Twinkies, which have long been rumored to have a shelf life longer than that of an Australian tortoise, are about to be a thing of the past. Some writers have suggested that the only things left on earth after a nuclear winter would be cock roaches and Twinkies. And, now they say that this is the end of Twinkies as we know them? If that's not a sign, I don't know what is. Don't even get me started on Ding Dongs.
Two weeks ago, the Aggies went into Tuscaloosa and beat number one ranked and defending national champion Alabama. If that's not enough, they did it with a freshman quarterback who has more magic spells than they teach at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Forget the name Johnny Football. That's got to be Harry Potter escaping the best defense in the country. I'm convinced Alabama is only back in the BCS championship picture because it falls AFTER 12/21/12.
San Francisco is considering a city ordinance banning public nudity. No, it's not Tulsa or Little Rock, but San Francisco. I haven't read the proposed ordinance, but it wouldn't surprise me if it also required them to cover up in white robes. 'Nuff said.
Michael Irvin has joined Jerry Jones in talking about the possibility of the Cowboys playing in the Super Bowl. He says that the only team that worries him as someone standing between the Cowboys and a trip to the Big Easy next February is the Packers. I know. I know. He even offered to take a drug test! Does he have inside knowledge that next February will never get here?
Dick Morris predicted that Mitt Romney would win the presidential election in a landslide. It's obvious that Dick is no Mayan…or is he?
The Middle East is burning right now. Israel and the Palestinians are on the brink of war. The U.S. is on the edge of the fiscal cliff with a possible recession hanging in the balance. And, President Obama is in Burma. As far as I know, there aren't any democratic donors or even golf courses in Burma. The president has access to a lot more intelligence than we do. Does he know something about 12/21 that we don't? Who else would know more about signs than Burma where, I think, they invented shaving cream?
Where do we find the most convincing sign? I think that's pretty obvious. In Waco, the true believers have been known to bring offerings of gold, frankincense and myrrh to lay at the portrait of Grant Teaff. That picture has now been painted over with the likeness of Art Briles.
The Baylor Bears, who were once disparaged by a local writer (who shall remain nameless) as a team that shouldn't have been included as a Big Twelve member, just pulled an A&M. The Brazos Baptists went into a game against the number one ranked Kansas State Wildcats with a losing record. Not only did the Bears beat K State, they annihilated them. On top of that, they did it post Robert Griffin III (Once rumored to be a messianic figure in his own right.).
So, in the presence of such overwhelming evidence, I'm proud to announce that I'm buying Deluxe Fruitcakes for everyone in Corsicana for Christmas if the Mayans were correct. If they were wrong, it's back to the lump of coal that I had already planned.

The days of Tokay showing up to the Corral for the Oakdale Mustangs' final preseason tune up are a distant memory and now it's the Central Catholic Raiders who brought their army up for final action leading up to the important non-league schedule.
With the Valley Oak League schedule days from opening the Oakdale High varsity volleyball team looks to be taking their games to the next level after a strong performance in the High Sierra Volleyball Tournament in Reno, Nevada on Sept. 4-5.
All the speculation about the structure of the upcoming postseason action and league realignment formats in the Sac-Joaquin Section can come to an end as the 2009-10 realignment plan is set in stone.
Anytime you can get a pair of victories against Sonora High that is a good thing and that is exactly how the Oakdale High water polo program finished their action against the Wildcats in a Sept. 4 non-league battle.
The Oakdale High tennis team is kicking off its season in the right direction, racing out to an undefeated start in Valley Oak League action after three straight victories. The Lady Mustangs have throttled each team they have seen in league play, pushing themselves to the top of the pack on the VOL courts.
There were no referees, no huge crowd of cheering fans watching, yet when the Oakdale High varsity football team suited up for its annual Red-Gold scrimmage it was obvious football season had arrived.
The Oakdale Lady Mustangs golf team welcomed the defending champion East Union Lancers to the always daunting Oakdale Golf Country Club on Aug. 28 for an early season preview of what both teams bring to the greens.
The Oakdale High Cross Country program kicked their season into gear with the Red-Gold Fox Trot intrasquad race around the Oakdale High campus Aug. 28 for both the boys and the girls squads.
There is a huge difference in preparing for the beginning of a new season and preparing to win a championship in that new season, yet it usually is one and the same for the fall sports programs at Oakdale High School.
It has been a short period of time since water polo has come onto the horizon in Oakdale, yet if the Oakdale High boys and girls varsity programs' berth into the Sac-Joaquin Section tournament this past season didn't open the community's eyes, the group's newest accomplishment surely will.
When you think of the basketball season thoughts often drift to holiday tournaments and early spring postseason action, but the real growth and maturity comes when teams take to the hardwood during the ridiculously hot summer months.
With a host of wrestlers still competing on Oakdale High's state-bound football team, the Mustang program is missing some serious depth.
The last non-pigskin selection for the Oakdale Leader Athlete of the Week this fall belongs to Oakdale High's varsity volleyball team. The girls bested Pioneer in four games to advance to the second round of the postseason, adding prestige to a terrific season that included a co-Valley Oak League championship.
Chasing a five-goal deficit in the fourth and final period of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II championships water polo finals, Katie Vanderburg and Emily Stolken connected with stunning scores within a one-minute span to open the door for a possible Oakdale High comeback.
Some postseason magic carried eighth seeded Oakdale High to a spirited 3-1 rout of No. 9 seed Pioneer in the first round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III playoffs on Nov. 6, but happy thoughts couldn't do the trick in a 3-0 loss to No. 1 seed Oakmont two days later.
The first round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II girls water polo playoffs wasn't particularly kind to Capital Valley Conference No. 3 seed Del Campo, who fell 17-7 to Valley Oak League champion Oakdale on Saturday, Nov. 3 at Whitney High.
If Oakdale High's varsity boys soccer team had any questions on the type of game to expect from a Central Valley team in search of its third trip to the Sac-Joaquin Section finals in four seasons, they certainly had them answered quickly on Oct. 30.
Despite the tiebreaker that forced the Lady Mustangs to enter the 2012 Sac-Joaquin Section Division II playoffs with the lowest possible seed, Oakdale's girls tennis team didn't go down without a fight. They ended their season with a 5-4 loss to Whitney on Monday, Oct. 29 in the opening round of the postseason.

WEDNESDAY, NOV. 28, 2007 — It was a comeback to beat all comebacks in a season of comebacks and close games, particularly the one played 20 years ago today against Vanderbilt. Tennessee spotted their archrivals a 28-3 lead in the second quarter, what with the Commodores scoring on their first four possessions, yet the Vols rallied to somehow win 38-36.
Reggie Cobb ran for 140 yards, and Jeff Francis kept the ship afloat just long enough to secure the victory. William Howard provided a great deal of the leadership to help make his senior year at Tennessee his best. He had better stats in 1986, but always seemed to be in John Majors' doghouse. That all changed in 1987.
The No. 16 Vols had engineered all kinds of comebacks over the year, rallying for wins against Iowa, Kentucky, and in the Peach Bowl against Indiana. There was also a last-minute rally for a tie against Auburn. These Vols lived dangerously and somehow were still standing when the season ended with a 10-2-1 record, the first 10-win season since 1972.
The 1987 campaign saw the Vols recover from a 7-5 worksheet a year earlier. It was a season in which the Vols appeared somnolent at 2-5 before a five-game winning streak, including a 21-14 triumph over Minnesota in the Liberty Bowl, got the Vols on the plus side of the ledger. Then it was on to 1987.
Phil Reich kicked the game-winner against Iowa at the Meadowlands in something called the "Kickoff Classic.� He was awarded a scholarship not long after the game. The winning field goal came in the final seconds and was keyed by three walkons, center Nick Zecchino from Cedar Grove, N.J., holder Lee England of Gallatin, and Reich of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The idea of snap, spot, and kick may seem simple, but it always looks easy when somebody else does it.
The Vols gained a tie against Auburn when Cobb scored at the south end with 1:20 left. The Vols had trailed 20-10 with about seven minutes to play, but Francis rallied the Vols to a field goal and Cobb's touchdown to gain the deadlock.
The Vols lost a close one to Boston College, the only game the cat didn't jump in the Vols' favor when things got tight late in the game.
At Kentucky, the Vols led 24-20, but the Wildcats were marching for the winning score, when Mike Whitehead, previously buried on the depth chart, stopped Mark Higgs at the goal line on fourth and goal from inside the Tennessee 1. Whitehead lost his helmet on the play, but the Vols motored home to Knoxville with a victory, the third in a row in a streak that has now reached 23.
The Vols had one final comeback up their collective sleeves in the Peach Bowl at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, one of the few times the Vols have played on a combination football-baseball field.
That was the day Indiana fans got their sports mixed up. At the end of the first half, Reich had a shot at a field goal, but missed badly. The cry from the Indiana faithful came quickly: "Air ball, air ball!� That was a neat touch. Those Hoosiers love their hoops.
Francis led another desperation drive late in the fourth quarter when the Vols trailed 22-21. Offensive guard John Bruhin had told Francis it was going to happen. The Vols were going to take the ball down the field and score. And it did happen.
The season had started and finished with wins over Big 10 teams. That has never happened, before or since, in the 1142-game history of Tennessee football.
For some reason, no one, fans or media, seems to remember this season as one of the Vols' better efforts. It wasn't quite like 1967, 1970, or 1985, but it did prove that you have to play 60 minutes against the Vols. As long as there was hope (and time on the clock), there was life. This team had great resilience and created a bunch of memories for Vol fans.
The best memory was, without a doubt, overcoming a 25-point deficit to steal the Vanderbilt game.

"We all know that for far too long, too many excuses have been made for indigenous kids in particular not being at school": Prime Minister Tony Abbott. Photo: Andrew Meares
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has suggested using ''truancy officers'' to ensure that all indigenous children go to school. He has also said his paid parental leave scheme will be extended to cover all state public sector workers.
The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) met in Canberra on Friday, just days after Holden announced plans to end its Australian operations in 2017.
The mood was far more collegial than when state and territory treasurers met a few weeks ago to discuss the government's surprise changes to the Gonski school funding reforms.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme, the government's paid parental leave scheme, indigenous Australians, environmental regulation and the future of the country's automotive industry were discussed at the meeting.
Mr Abbott said it was a ''very constructive'' conversation, particularly on indigenous issues.
He said the leaders agreed to several measures to improve the school attendance of indigenous children including setting minimum attendance ''benchmarks,'' publishing twice-yearly data on school attendance, and conducting on-the-spot audits of schools.
Mr Abbott also suggested using ''truancy officers'' to ensure attendance benchmarks were met.
''We all know that for far too long, too many excuses have been made for indigenous kids in particular not being at school. This must stop,'' Mr Abbott said.
''In some places, truancy officers might be the best way forward. In other places, maybe a community-based scheme might be the best way forward.
''We've already got forms of income management in place where families don't consistently send their children to school.''
The states and territories also agreed to start the process towards creating ''one-stop shops'' for environmental approvals, in a move that was immediately condemned by the Greens.
Despite federal Labor criticisms of the Coalition's approach to ''one-stop shops'', Labor-led Tasmania, South Australia and the ACT signed memoranda of understanding with the Commonwealth, along with the Coalition-led Western Australia, Victoria and Northern Territory.
Speaking after his first COAG meeting as Prime Minister, Mr Abbott said the memoranda would move the jurisdictions ''towards a one-stop shop process for environmental approvals''.
NSW and Queensland, which had already agreed to the plan the government says will reduce ''green tape'', have signed what the Prime Minister termed ''assessment bilaterals''.
These agreements will allow states to carry out the environmental assessments for major projects and pave the way for states to also carry out the approvals.
Mr Abbott says the ''same high standards of environmental approval'' will apply but with a ''much swifter outcome''.
The meeting also touched on the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
Mr Abbott said that all jurisdictions supported it, but noted that the launch sites were now being referred to as ''trial'' sites, in a move that suggests the make-up of the scheme could change.
He said support to people with disabilities had to be provided on a ''sustainable'' basis.
School funding, which has dominated the political landscape in recent weeks, will be the subject of the next COAG meeting early in the new year. Mr Abbott said there had been only a ''limited'' discussion of schools funding on Friday.

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
The breakout book from a prizewinning young writer: a breathtaking, suspenseful story of one man's obsessive search to find the truth of another man's downfall.
Nelson's life is not turning out the way he hoped. His girlfriend is sleeping with another man, his brother has left their South American country and moved to the United States, leaving Nelson to care for their widowed mother, and his acting career can't seem to get off the ground. That is, until he lands a starring role in a touring revival of The Idiot President, a legendary play by Nelson's hero, Henry Nunez, leader of the storied guerrilla theater troupe Diciembre. And that's when the real trouble begins.
The tour takes Nelson out of the shelter of the city and across a landscape he's never seen, which still bears the scars of the civil war. With each performance, Nelson grows closer to his fellow actors, becoming hopelessly entangled in their complicated lives, until, during one memorable performance, a long-buried betrayal surfaces to force the troupe into chaos.
Nelson's fate is slowly revealed through the investigation of the narrator, a young man obsessed with Nelson's story?and perhaps closer to it than he lets on. In sharp, vivid, and beautiful prose, Alarcón delivers a compulsively readable narrative and a provocative meditation on fate, identity, and the large consequences that can result from even our smallest choices.
During the war which Nelson's father called the anxious years a few radical students at the Conservatory founded a theater company. They read the French surrealists, and improvised adaptations of Quechua myths; they smoked cheap tobacco, and sang protest songs with vulgar lyrics. They laughed in public as if it were a political act, baring their teeth and frightening children. Their ranks were drawn, broadly speaking, from the following overlapping circles of youth: the long-hairs, the working-class, the sex-crazed, the poseurs, the provincials, the alcoholics, the emotionally needy, the rabble-rousers, the opportunists, the punks, the hangers-on, and the obsessed. Nelson was just a boy then: moody, thoughtful, growing up in a suburb of the capital with his head bent over a book. He was secretly in love with a slight, brown-haired girl from school, with whom he'd exchanged actual words on only a handful of occasions. At night, Nelson wrote out the ...
Set in an unnamed South American country, At Night We Walk in Circles explores concepts of identity and loss, among others, in a soulful story that confirms Alarcon's status as one of America's most dazzling fiction writers.
(Reviewed by Poornima Apte).
Full Review (1099 words).
The theater group Diciembre, in At Night We Walk in Circles, sounds a lot like Peru's award-winning independent theater collective, Yuyachkani. Launched in 1971, the group's essential pillars have been political performances, theatrical experimentation and performances steeped in indigenous culture.
Yuyachkani is a Quechua word that means "I am thinking/I am remembering." The company is at the forefront of Latin American theater, and makes education and community issues the cornerstones of its work. One of Yuyachkani's principles is the belief that "an evaluation of the past makes us understand the present." To that end, Yuyachkani has focused its action around one main objective: to contribute to the development and strengthening of ...

Things have never been easy for Oscar, a sweet but disastrously overweight, lovesick Dominican ghetto nerd. Oscar dreams of becoming the Dominican J. R. R. Tolkien and, most of all, of finding love. But he may never get what he wants, thanks to the Fuk - the curse that has haunted Oscar's family for generations.
From Perón's glittering Buenos Aires to the rustic hills of Rio de Janeiro, from the haven of a Montevideo butchershop to U.S. embassy halls, The Invisible Mountain celebrates a nations spirit, the will to survive in the most desperate of circumstances, and the fierce and complex connections between mother and daughter.

A couple of years ago, the Philadelphia archdiocese heard about three priests who had allegedly raped two boys. It gave the priests' files to law enforcement, and a grand jury began to investigate. Then, the grand jury stumbled on a bombshell. A church employee testified that there were many other priests the panel should know about.
"The grand jury found that a policy of zero tolerance was not actually in effect," says District Attorney Seth Williams, "and that there were many priests that had allegations made against them that were still in active ministry."
The archbishop of Philadelphia has suspended 21 priests connected to allegations of child sex abuse, the latest in a series of actions by the archdiocese to deal with findings in a disturbing grand jury report released last month.
The grand jury report accused a monsignor, three priests and a parochial schoolteacher of abusing kids or failing to prevent abuse by others. It also said that as many as 37 priests remained in active ministry with allegations or reports of inappropriate behavior or sexual abuse of minors.
There is no basis in the scripture for the argument that the Jewish people were responsible for the death of Jesus Christ. That's the declaration made by Pope Benedict the sixteenth, in his forthcoming book, "Jesus of Nazareth, Part II". The Vatican released excerpts of the book this week. The charge that Jews were responsible for Christ's persecution has strained relations between the Catholic and Jewish faiths for centuries.
Pope Benedict XVI today "signed off on the miracle needed for the beatification of Pope John Paul II, and set May 1 as the date to honor one of the most beloved popes of all times as a model of saintliness for the church," the Associated Press writes.
