|Mungyeongsaejae Provincial Park (문경새재도립공원)
|VisitKorea does not guarantee the quality of products or services introduced on its site and is not responsible for any direct or indirect losses resulting from use of said products or services.
|There are 3 legendary boundary gates at Mungyeongsaejae Provincial Park, on rough mountaintops, which are reputed to be too tall for even birds to fly over. Mungyeongsaejae, which overlays Joryeongsan Mountain, has always been the highest and most dangerous mountain pass. It was cleared during the time of Kim Taejong (reign 1400-1418) of Joseon Period, and was used until a new road was built through the Ihwaryeong Gogae
The boundary gates and castle walls were raised here after the Japanese Invasion of Korea (1592-1598). The second boundary gate, Jogokgwan, was raised in 1594, and in 1708 Juheulgwan and Joryeonggwan were raised and were used as fortresses for national defense. They were damaged after that point, but in 1966 the No. 1, 2, and 3 boundary gates and castle walls were designated collectively as historic Site No. 147 and were later restored in 1976.
Take the big road beside boundary gate No. 1 of southeastern Korea, Juheulgwan, for about 1.5km and you'll arrive at Joryeongwan. There are only stonewalls left from the many inn-like dwellings, which were built to accommodate government officials on official tour. Past the tavern, which was restored in 1983, you'll reach the Jogokgwan. The area around Jogokgwan is famous for its birch trees, and the Mungyeongsaejae Revolt Monument can be seen on the left side of the road. It's 3.4km from Jogokgwan to Joryeonggwan, through a walkway with its harmonious scenery of rocks and cool streams. Instead of taking the big road, you can take the road with the sounds of stream water, to a waterfall. 30 minutes farther and you'll arrive at Hyeguksa Temple.
Hyeguksa Temple is at the edge of Mt. Juheulsan, and is the place where King Gongmin (reign 1351-1374) stayed while avoiding the peasant uprising. Past Hyeguksa Temple and the Royal Palace about 1km, you'll reach the sacred peak of Mt. Juheulsan. The view of the winding mountain ranges from the mountaintop is spectacular. From the mountain top, past the valley, is Jogokgwan. The 3rd boundary gate is at Mt. Juheulsan (1,106m), and it takes about 4-5 hours to get to Jogokgwan from Juheulgwan. The area was designated as a Provincial Park in 1981.
KBS drama studio is located in Mungyeongsaejae Provincial Park, specializing in historical dramas. There are three palaces and many houses from the Goryeo Period, spread over 60,000 m2.

There seems to be some confusion about Miami Beach, and I'm here to clear it up.
Miami Beach is a city and an island off the coast of Florida. South Beach or Sobe is Miami Beach's beach... Hmmmm.
I'm lost and I'm sitting in Lummus Park with Sobe on one side and Ocean Drive on the other, while writing this.
Ocean Drive is the year-round Mardi Gras that runs for 15 blocks along Sobe. As if this isn't enough, the area is known as the Paris of America. I understand why, it's similar, but the women wear less clothing and shave their legs and arm pits.
I have been here a short time, but am constantly asked for directions. I've had people ask me directions to South Beach while standing on Ocean Drive.
My sage advice: "Walk a hundred yards and you'll fall into the Atlantic. When you get out, you'll have magically arrived on South Beach."
I've had people ask me where Miami Beach is, while standing on South Beach in the city of Miami Beach.
"Sorry, man, you got off the plane at the wrong stop: Miami Beach is in St. Augustine."
Look it's easy really. Just fly into Miami, get into a cab, mumble Ocean Drive, the cab driver is going to ask: What's in your wallet? And he's gonna expect a large portion of whatever is.
Go into Wet Willie's and order a drink they call, call a cab and you'll forget to remember where you are at all. You'll have a great vacation, but will have a terrible time explaining exactly where you went.
That last thing is going to happen if you drink or not; might as well have fun.
"I woke up with receipts in my wallet from bars on South Beach, Miami Beach and Ocean Drive; I guess I went to all three places. I had a great time, I think."
If it can been seen, it can be seen on Ocean Drive.
Here you will find some of the most beautiful and not-so-beautiful people in the world. Like Dancing Bikini Guy. Just imagine Newt Gingrich belly dancing on the sidewalk in a bikini, and you pretty much have the sick, twisted picture. He's a fixture and has been dancing on Ocean Drive for years. Dust puffs from his thong as he undulates, but people throw him money, and he makes more than most of us ever will.
On Ocean Drive you can sit in a five-star restaurant, have steak and lobster, drink a cocktail named Lobotomy and watch the beach and beach volley ball, all at the same time.
Remember those one-piece bathing suits of the 1920w that caused such a scandal? Yeah, then the bikini was invented. Life is good. Then came the thong; bar napkins actually contain more cloth.
They cost so much, that here you must buy a bikini in sections: 50 bucks for each piece.
Back in the day, girls or guys wearing thongs would have been burned as witches. While nude sun bathing is illegal, the cops figuratively not literally look the other way, it's pretty common.
If you're lucky, while having a Lobotomy or calling a cab, the stars, moons and planets will align, and you'll get to see all three, at one time. Don't try to imagine topless beach volleyball, no good can come from it.
Ocean Drive is much like visiting the zoo. There are amazing, exotic, wild animals of every shape, size, color and gender. You don't walk along and wonder at the caged animals, but get to become one of them, if you dare.
I imagine that's what happened to Dancin' Bikini Guy. He probably came here from Minnesota, bought a call-a-cab, a bikini and then forgot to remember to go back to Deer Park, Minnesota.
It's crazy to see entire families visiting South Beach. I'm sure there are things for the kiddies to do. Not.
The young girls are probably frightened and keep running into poles while holding their hands over their eyes. The young boy's eyes are as big as saucers, but they too keep running into poles.
Young minds can only take so much sensory input. Both are probably terrified and scared for life, by the experience. However both will probably come back as soon as possible, without their parents for spring break, sometime in the future.
All my life I believed what Buffett said, but have found out he was wrong.
There is plenty to plunder, the cannons still thunder and you can never arrive too late on Ocean Drive. Watch out what the kiddies might see, thar be pirate booty a plenty, by the sea for thee.
My first mate and I love Florida, today's column brought to you from Miami Beach, Sobe, Ocean drive and Paris, all at the same time.
Life is soooooooooooo good.

Lockport Union-Sun & Journal
Lockport Union-Sun & Journal — Editor's Note: This is the fourth article in an eight-part series exploring Common Core.
"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."
That quote is courtesy of one of the greatest minds of all time, Albert Einstein. He understood what helped to develop his incomparable intellect and could do the same for future generations: early and frequent exposure to fictional works.
This is something that language arts teachers (more popularly known as English teachers) have known and practiced for years. By focusing on the readers' ability to understand and interpret in their own way a masterpiece of literature or poetry, and also affording them the chance to write their own masterpieces, teachers could encourage and hone creative thinking, the single most important tool for personal and professional success.
That is atypical of most schooling. Science, math, and history classes take what is known or proven and ask that students master facts and processes. There is little if any room for exploration or personal interpretation. That is the nature of the beast within those subjects.
English classrooms were always the place in schools where higher-order thinking skills could be fostered. But, those days appear numbered. Because of Common Core, the English Language Arts (ELA) curriculum is devolving and English is becoming yet another class where facts are to be regurgitated and expression is stymied.
The claimed goal of Common Core is to make students workforce-ready so, to that end, the developers at Achieve Inc. decided to emphasize nonfiction. Novels and short fiction that once dominated the routine have been diminished in their volume, with newspaper articles, dry text and even boring owner's manuals taking over. If you thought Moby Dick's pithiness was a test of your focus as a student, imagine your child's disdain for manuals.
Common Core's original plan was to divide the eighth-grade curriculum along the lines of 55 percent nonfiction and 45 percent fiction. That isn't what is being enforced. Nor is it what students and teachers alike are being graded on. Last year's Grade 8 ELA test was 79 percent nonfiction and 21 percent fiction, a far cry from what was sold to the schools.
I shudder to think what employers Achieve Inc. consulted before proceeding in this manner. As a businessman, I want people working with me, inside my company and outside of it, who can think on their feet, think creatively, react positively to the circumstances before them, and thoughtfully ponder how to make their lives easier and their customers' experience better.
With creativity stifled in their formative years, they will be unable to perform as well as one would hope in the workplace.
As a parent, I can't help but wonder how Common Core will help my daughter at all when the time comes. I spend much time thinking about how my wife and I will be investing considerably more effort into her intellectual development to overcome what Common Core doesn't give her.
What it could give her can be pretty scary.
Consider an assignment given to third-grade students at various school districts across the United States. After reading the following text, students were asked to complete an exercise in which the solutions can only be provided by making logical inferences and explaining how they got their answers:
"Ruby sat on the bed she shared with her husband holding a hairclip. There was something mysterious and powerful about the cheaply manufactured neon clip that she was fondling in her newly suspicious palms. She didn't recognize the hairclip. It was too big to be their daughter's, and Ruby was sure that it wasn't hers. She hadn't had friends over in weeks but here was this hairclip, little and green with a few long black hair strands caught in it. Ruby ran her fingers through her own blonde hair. She had just been vacuuming when she noticed this small, bright green object under the bed. Now their life would never be the same. She would wait here until Mike returned home."
Let that sink in. Third graders were given a story about entirely adult content (infidelity) that is beyond their realm of maturity and understanding. Most of them have no idea what's going on here (and any parent worth their salt would not want them to) and any student who does is likely experiencing a painfully dramatic and emotionally damaging home life.
This is the present and future of education in America under the Common Core regime. How is any of it supposed to make our nation smarter and stronger?Bob Confer is a Gasport resident and vice president of Confer Plastics Inc. in North Tonawanda. Email him at email@example.com.

In observance of April's National Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the Division of Student Affairs and Counseling and Psychological Services will be hosting several programs and events for students, faculty, staff, and the local Fredericksburg Community in order to educate and increase awareness of interpersonal violence and sexual abuse and its impact on students and our community.
The program will launch on Wednesday April 3, 2013 with the "Where is the Line?" campaign sponsored by the Fear 2 Freedom organization and will end with Take Back the Night on Thursday April 18, 2013 co-sponsored by UMW and RCASA.
- Fear 2 Freedom is a non-profit organization dedicated to bring hope and healing to those wounded by sexual abuse. Its mission is to redeem and restore lives broken by abuse, and educate and empower colleges and communities to work to prevent sexual abuse. Rosemary Trible developed the college program "Where is the Line?" which helps educate and empower students about sexual assault, date rape and sex trafficking and mobilizes them to be part of the solution. The event will be held on April 3, 2013 from 6:00- 8:00 pm in the Goolrick Main Gymnasium. Students will assemble after care kits for victims of sexual abuse which will be distributed to Mary Washington Hospital, Safe Harbor, and the Rappahannock Council Against Sexual Assault (RCASA). Volunteers are needed and students are encouraged to participate! Mrs. Tribble will speak at 3:00 PM at "The Center" (Formely known as BCM, at 1514 College Avenue).
- On Thursday April 18, 2013 UMW and RCASA will co-host the annual Take Back the Night (TBTN) program which starts at UMW's Ball Circle and ends at Market Square in Fredericksburg. TBTN is a program that encourages people to speak out and take a stand against sexual violence. For over 35 years in the United States, Take Back The Night has focused on eliminating sexual violence, and thousands of events have been hosted across the county. This year UMW and RCASA hope to increase the number of students and community members involved in this program.
- During the week of April 8th, CAPS will sponsor the Tree of Hope campaign where students and community members are invited to hang a ribbon in honor of survivors. A table will be present on campus walk during the week where students can select a ribbon that will displayed on a UMW tree.
If you are interested in learning more about these events and wish to participate, please go to the Counseling and Psychological Services website at: http://students.umw.edu/caps/ and click on the "Sexual Assault Awareness Month" tab.

Presidents and God: Religion's role in inauguration
The separation of church and state is unique to American democracy, but when it comes to celebrating the start of a president's term, God has played a role in nearly every inauguration since George Washington. And President Obama's second swearing-in will be no different.

Starting with Sunday's game against the Quad Cities, the Bees will be using a new pitching rotation.
The rotation will expand from the regular five starters to six starters and will go like this — Sam Runion, Danny Duffy, Eduardo Paulino, Ed Cegarra, Matt Mitchell and Alex Caldera. The team will no longer use a straight piggy-back system, but will have designated first-in relievers for three of the starters. Zach Peterson will always be the first to relieve Runion, Juan Abreu will come in after Duffy and Joe Augustine will be Mitchell's designated first reliever.
Runion and Duffy were just added to the Bees' roster and Runion will start today.
"Both these guys came up from extended," said Bees manager Brian Rupp. "They're throwing the ball good down there. They're both going to start. See what they've got. Get their feet wet up here and hope they're going to help us."
Which pitchers will lose their spots on the roster?
"To be determined," Rupp said.
In a related pitching move, Augustine lost his piggyback position behind Mitchell. The Kansas City Royals want Mitchell to get more innings, which he was not doing while sharing starting duties with Augustine.
"If Augie goes in there and throws seven innings, they really want Mitch to get up to his pitch count every night. Obviously the only way to do that is to start him," said Rupp.
MOVE TO THE DL: Catcher Todd Balduf was placed on the disabled list with a strained oblique muscle. Infielder Kyle Martin took Balduf's roster spot, coming to the team from extending spring training.
STORMY WEATHER: The high winds and rain that tore through the area May 11 caused a casualty at Community Field.
The Mountain Dew sign on the scoreboard was blown out by the wind. To see a picture of the damage, visit the Bees Blog at www.gobeesblog.wordpress.com/
PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: Sean Coughlin of South Bend was named the Midwest League Player of the Week. West Michigan's Ramon Garcia and Cedar Rapids' Michael Anton shared Player of the Week honors.
Coughlin hit .429 with four doubles and two home runs last week. He walked one and had a .905 slugging percentage.
Garcia threw a complete-game shutout. He allowed three hits, walked one and struck out five.
Anton also threw a complete-game shutout. He gave up four hits, walked two and struck out eight.
ROUGH NIGHT: Former Bees pitcher Carlos Rosa had a tough Triple-A debut Saturday with the Omaha Royals. Rosa lasted just three innings. He gave up five runs on eight hits while walking none and striking out four.
All five runs against Rosa by the Albuquerque Isotopes came in the first inning of the O-Royals' 11-4 loss.

CAMANCHE — Due to a negative fund balance, the Camanche School District will require supplemental aid to continue to provide the special education program for the 2013-14 school year.
At a Camanche School Board meeting Monday, Superintendent Tom Parker recommended to the board that a request for increased allowable growth be made in order to continue the special education program.
According to the Camanche School District business director Roxanne Aude, the school has continually struggled to fund the special education program and this is not the board's first time dealing with allowable growth and supplement aid funding.
"It's not anything new," Aude said. "We are given general programming money for all of our students and then if there is a need, students have a waiting that goes with the need that they need in education. The (general programming money) doesn't cover the cost of what it takes to educate those students."
The Camanche special education deficit is approximately $160,407, a 50-cent increase based on the school's valuation that changes each year.
For many Iowa schools allowable growth funds many programs that general programming money cannot support, and for Camanche, it is no different.
"We have done this in the past where we have recouped the money that we have spent on the special education needs of our students," Aude said. "And our recommendation is we do the same for this year."
Parker agreed that it is in the school's best interest to request the allowable growth and supplement aid for the remaining year, a decision that came reluctantly from the board, but unanimous none-the-less.
"It ties right into regaining this for our own spent balance and for our cash reserves," Parker said. "It makes sense to do that otherwise, as the name would indicate we'd be running at a $160,000 deficit, which we just assume avoid that."

By Mannix Porterfield
Register-Herald Reporter
From his humble start cutting meat in a hardscrabble West Virginia coal camp, Robert Carlisle Byrd rose to the pinnacle of political success to become the longest serving member of Congress.
And now, as Secretary of War Edwin Stanton reflected in President Lincoln's passing, he belongs to the ages.
Across his beloved West Virginia, political leaders paid tribute Monday to the 92-year-old statesman who once stood on a wooden crate in a grocery store and practiced speeches on delivery men while wearing his stained butcher's apron.
"Byrd by name, Byrd by nature, let's send Byrd to the Legislature," was his first battle cry.
Voters did just that, and his meteoric rise in West Virginia politics is the stuff of legends.
"Like all West Virginians, the news broke our hearts," Gov. Joe Manchin reflected in a statement.
"Sen. Byrd was a fearless fighter for the constitution, his beloved state, and its great people. He made a significant mark as a member of Congress in both our state's and nation's history. His accomplishments and contributions will define history for eternity."
Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., who began his political career as an intern in Byrd's office, mused that pundits will seek to analyze Byrd's life, but said they won't come close to "capturing the enormity" of the man.
"I do not know how to begin trying to calculate his immense influence on the people of this nation and the people of West Virginia," Rahall said.
"Perhaps because so much of what he gave to us is beyond measure — wisdom, reason, hope. We will not seek the likes of a Robert C. Byrd pass our way again."
Like others, one of the first attributes that came to Rahall's mind was Byrd's fondness for the U.S. Constitution. He carried a copy in his pocket and once read a traffic cop the riot act about civil liberties when he pulled him over.
Politics was his life, and Byrd devoted his time and energy almost exclusively to that pursuit, eschewing the party life in which so many of his colleagues were swallowed up. His public service spanned two centuries, and not once in that time did even the hint of scandal ever cloud his illustrious career.
In his later years, Byrd emerged as a strong opponent of the war in Iraq. Decades earlier, he was just as adamant in supporting the war in Vietnam. Dissension was fine with Byrd, except when it came to burning the American flag as a means of protest. And then, like that old Merle Haggard tune, you were walking on his fighting side. He once told a reporter he'd like to personally punch flag desecrators in the nose.
"He was West Virginia's greatest ally, her faithson, a source of tremendous pride, and our Big Daddy," Rahall said.
The latter was a reference to a description Byrd issued in his last campaign, one that brought out his self-depracating humor. At one stop, he quipped that he was the oldest man there, adding, "I'm older than this building."
"He was a mentor, a teacher, a leader, a constant source of inspiration," Rahall said.
"And he was my friend."
Rahall and wife Melinda followed the course of many close to Byrd by offering prayers on behalf, adding, "I know they will be comforted by knowing that he has joined his beloved Erma in Heaven."
"Sen. Byrd was larger than life," offered Sharon Rockefeller, wife of his partner in the Senate, Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va.
"I will always remember him fondly as a warm, gentle man, whose passion for West Virginia touched and inspired us all. I have always admired Sen. Byrd's great character and unfailing faith and my thoughts and prayers go out to his daughters, his family, and all of his friends and neighbors in West Virginia."
Rockefeller said he considered it a privilege to serve with Byrd on behalf of West Virginia.
"I looked up to him," he said. "I fought next to him, and I am deeply saddened that he is gone. He leaves a void that simply can never be filled. But I am lifted by the knowledge of his deep and abiding faith in God. I have joy in the thought of him reunited with his dear Erma, and I am proud knowing that his moving life story and legacy of service and love for West Virginia will live on."
Michael Willard, a former Charleston bureau manager for United Press International, left wire service work to become Byrd's press secretary initially, then as director of his leadership office, working for the senator from 1976 to 1983.
"He was, indeed, monumental in my life and in the lives of so many he touched," Willard said.
"He was my mentor and friend, and, other than my Dad, the greatest influence on me as a person. He was a giant in my eyes, and I truly do not think there will be another like him."
Byrd's stature as an icon and elderly statesman wasn't lost on members of the state Legislature, where his career began in the House of Delegates.
"Sen. Byrd's passing is an unspeakable loss, first and foremost to West Virginia, but also to Congress and the country as a whole," House Speaker Rick Thompson, D-Wayne, said in a statement.
"He is a giant in the United States Senate, for his unmatched dedication to public service, incredible Constitutional scholarship, and above all, his reverence and respect for the democratic process. He is the most important public servant in West Virginia's history — our state's biggest advocate and protector. This is a very sad day for all West Virginians. His love for West Virginia, his knowledge of the Constitution, and his commitment to the Senate will never be matched."
Senate President Earl Ray Tomblin, D-Logan, called him "a giant among many" in government, saying he provided "great esteem" to his adopted state of West Virginia.
"He will be remembered not only for his great deeds, but for his greatness as a national leader and constitutional scholar," Tomblin said.
"No man is indispensable, but in Sen. Byrd's case, he is irreplaceable. His leadership, skill, knowledge and his unique personality will be missed not only by the nation, but by the state he loved. He was a true man of the people whose deeds will have an impact for generations to come."
Delegate Virginia Mahan, D-Summers, considered Byrd the "greatest champion of the Constitution."
"Even when he might have preferred to vote otherwise, he stuck with the oath that every elected leader of this state and country takes," she said.
"That is the measure of a true servant. He loved and missed his 'sweet, dear Erma,' his wife and best friend very much after her death. When he spoke of her, it was clear that love and longing was genuine and deep. He always looked up and promised her that he would be with her soon. That day has come. And while we mourn our loss as a state and a nation, I can't help but feel some joy as they celebrate their reunion in God's Heaven."
Senate Judiciary Chairman Jeffrey Kessler, D-Marshall, put Byrd in the footsteps of the political heavyweights from the past.
"He now walks with the giants of history — Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Roosevelt, Byrd!" he said.
"Words are woefully inadequate to describe the enormity of the life of Sen. Byrd and the impact which he has had upon our country and our state and its people. His life is a shining example to every child in this state as to what one can accomplish through hard work, faith in God, and service to others."
Byrd became a sharp critic in recent months of the coal industry, but he drew words of praise from both union and management alike.
Back in 1969, noted United Mine Workers of America President Cecil Roberts, he championed the federal health and safety act, and convinced President Richard Nixon not to veto it.
Roberts figures Byrd had a strong hand in saving the lives of 29,000 miners, noting that 32,000 were killed on the job before the landmark bill was enacted, and 3,200 died since its approval.
"Since that time, Sen. Byrd consistently fought for additional protections for miners," the UMWA leader said.
"He led the charge to secure the 1977 revisions to the 1969 act. He fought in 1992 to continue health care benefits for mining families and many times since then to secure funding, so that today, 100,000 UMWA members are still getting benefits. He relentlessly pushed for answers in the Aracoma and Sago disasters to prevent these tragedies from occurring again. And he fought for enhanced black lung benefits his entire life."
"All of us from the coalfields have lost our best friend in Robert C. Byrd. We extend our deepest sympathy to his family and friends."
Condolences were expressed by Massey Energy, which said, "He will be remembered as a tenured and dedicated public servant."
The UMWA's international vice president, House Majority Whip Mike Caputo, D-Marion, said miners owe Byrd "a huge debt of gratitude."
"As a legislator, I have great admiration for his fight to ensure that mine safety regulations were both thorough and properly enforced," he said.
"Sen. Byrd was the best friend the coal miner has ever had."
West Virginia Republican Chairman Doug McKinney considered the senator's passing "a loss for all West Virginians."
"Sen. Byrd's life story, as much as it is a chronicling of his personal achievements, is no less the history of West Virginia itself," he said.
"For more than 50 years, he battled in the name of the U.S. Constitution against political friend and foe alike, always remaining true to his faith, friends, family, while working to build a better future for his state and his country. Never forgetting his humble beginnings among the coalfields and impoverishment of southern West Virginia, Sen. Byrd carried with him a tradition of common sense principles and love for his fellow man. We differed with Sen. Byrd on many principles but we never for a second questioned his integrity and his love for West Virginia."
State Democratic Chairman Larry Puccio called it "a sad day for all of us in West Virginia."
"This is not only a devastating loss for West Virginia but a devastating loss for our nation," Puccio said.
"There is not enough time in our day to start to talk about all of the tremendous achievements that this icon was able to accomplish for our people, but knowing Sen. Byrd he would expect us to continue his work to make West Virginia, and all of America, a better place to live. Sen. Byrd is one of the main reasons West Virginia is know as 'Almost Heaven.'"
House Republican Leader Tim Armstead, R-Kanawha, characterized Byrd as "a towering figure who had a deep love for our state."
"While West Virginians hold varying views on the issues we face, we all agree that, for more than a half century, Robert Byrd played a key role in the national debate and was a passionate advocate for his strongly held views and beliefs," he said.
"All West Virginians join together today in expressing our appreciation for his public service and our sincere sympathy at his passing."
Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., termed the late senator "an icon" and said West Virginians share the loss of "a beloved son who was woven into the very fabric of our state."
"Sen. Byrd's mastery of the Senate will be remembered for the ages, but those who knew him best realize his legacy will be one of love for the West Virginians he served for nearly 57 years. Whether he is remembered as the young man who played the fiddle or the elder statesman that carried a copy of the Constitution in the pocket next to his heart, Robert Byrd touched the lives of countless West Virginians. His service to West Virginia and dedication to our nation's democracy set an example to which generations can expire."
Sen. Mike Green, D-Raleigh, relished the time he spent with Byrd at a dedication ceremony in Beckley a few years ago, saying their meeting "made a lasting impression on me that will remain as long as I walk this old world."
"Truly an institution and to think it all started right here in Raleigh County," he said.
"His life was so much bigger than West Virginia. He was a champion of our constitution and had the personal fortitude to change his own beliefs over time and the political might to change public policy. He will be sadly missed. While his health had faded as of late, I hope he is remembered for his years of service and what he has done not only for the great state of West Virginia, but for this entire nation."
Byrd came in for praise from the Humane Society of the United States over his concern on behalf of mistreated animals.
Not only did Byrd use his oratory and contacts to further animal protection but in recent years unleashed a stinging rebuke on the Senate floor of NFL quarterback Michael Vick in a celebrated dog-fighting criminal case, terming the activity "barbaric."
"He condemned the increasingly barbaric treatment of animals in an industrialized agriculture and spoke of a Christian responsibility to be decent and merciful to all of God's creatures," said Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of HSUS.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of this great champion and friend of animals."
Two years ago, the society presented Byrd with its highest honor — the Joseph Wood Krutch Medal for his efforts on behalf of animal welfare.
Words of praise also emanated from the American Association of Retired Persons in West Virginia for his work on behalf of retirees.
"For more than a half century, Sen. Byrd passionately fought in the U.S. Senate on behalf of all older Americans to protect workers and retain the integrity and stability of the Social Security system, and to ensure that all Americans have access to decent and affordable health care coverage," said state director Gaylene Miller.
"Sen. Byrd always sought opportunities where he could be helpful to his native state and its people. His passing leaves an indelible void in the hearts of all of the constituents he served."

holiday charities
As we enter the holiday season, it is heartening that so many Americans give some consideration to the less-fortunate. However, it IS that time of year again, when harsh, clanging bells assault us as we enter and exit the Southside Mall. This holiday season. I urge you to find other ways to give to others. Don't give anything to the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army has long actively discriminated against members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community, and few people I know would willingly put their money toward such a group. The Salvation Army urges members of the LGBT community to be celibate, lobbies on behalf of anti-marriage equality bills, and denies services to members of the LGBT community. Yes, the money you put in the red pots funds these things.
Instead, participate in a toy drive or spend a weekend morning in a soup kitchen. Give money instead to groups like Goodwill, Doctors Without Borders or The Red Cross. When you see Salvation Army bell-ringers, give them nothing more than a smile.

I've only got 2 kilos min to lose to get to 97 so feeling good ;p in comparison; come at me, blue belt division! Will aim to drop down for the others slowly :).
I've already started having comp dreams (I'm winning pretty well).
Sang, registration requirements aren't needed for this first March 10th comp, it's only after that for these ones (I've left out NQLD and other state ones in the list below):
AFBJJ - Comp 1: April 27 QLD State Championships
QBJJC - Comp 2: June 29/30 Sunday South Pacific Championships
QBJJC - Comp 3: August 4 Sunday
AFBJJ - Pan Pacifics October 4/5/6 (Melb)
Weigh-ins are before your first match. So no water cutting without a major detriment in that first match.
White leg lock rules, straight ankle locks are allowed (same as blue/purp - only changes at brown/black for toe holds and kneebars zz! So unfortunately there's no naga-like changes for no gi which would allow knee reaping to control straight ankle locks better etc. The way the rules currently look is that blue/purp the berimbolo owns until people can defend it (with something really simple) but there's also NO FEAR of the toe hold counter at all.
Blue-Purple leg lock rules, page 22 they made it really easy to see and they are the same as white belt: straight ankle locks are allowed; no twisting attacks; no turning into the attacked leg (e.g. into the hip centre of the leg you are attacking); no knee bars; no toe holds; no hip locks; no compression locks/slicers http://afbjj.com/images/ibjjf%20rules%202013.pdf
Sang, for the AFBJJ comps and registration, I forget the name of the place you train, Barra at the Gabba(?), but you can check to see if they are already registered on the drop down list here, I have a feeling you guys probably already are: http://afbjj.com/index.php?option=co...ries&Itemid=35Daniel: I don't know if I know enough karate.

Yep all the good blues do that silly sweep here too, I've tried hard no avoid it and a few other techniques that won't translate to MMA, so we'll see if i can win the tournament with closed guard, butterfly and head&arm choke variations."Boxing is the art of hitting an opponent from the furthest distance away, exposing the least amount of your body while getting into position to punch with maximum leverage and not getting hit."

Technique derail: The sweep is actually pretty good, and goes straight to the back, or straight to mount, it's really interesting, but can be shut down pretty fast without much effort, really waiting to see people shutting it down a bit more.
I prefer the RDLR hook into (insert list of names) Spiral/Kiss of Dragon/Farmer Sweep instead as you can hit that to the back gi/no gi and you end up with some fun scrambles/attacks.
I'm hoping for a good run in this comp, be the first time in about 2.5 years (since I got blue) that I'll be competing having come off insecurities in general at start of blue then injuries after that, then money issues with having a mortgage, haha. So really looking forward to getting in as many as I can before I get graded up...hopefully as late as possible this year...even December grading + would be best...hahaha.Daniel: I don't know if I know enough karate.

Doesn't matter now, bro. I'm in full on strip fat mode. Started the MMA course last night. Nearly 3.5 hours of work out. Today's my "day off", in that I only train for 1 hour. Good clean diet, supplement strategy and a whole lotta awesome.
2.6kg in a week with little to no exercise? **** yeah. Imagine what I'll do with daily extreme exercise. Probably another 2kg next week. I'll at least be under 90kg at the tournie. The focus shift though is less on jits and more on MMA now, considering in three months I'm going to be facing someone that wants to punch, kick and choke me. A medal would be nice at this comp, though. A gold medal. A SHINY gold medal.

'Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle' (2004)
New Line/courtesy Everett Collection
A candid portrait of the insanity of American society – disguised as a slapstick romp about two men on a quest for the right burger. Because some nights Burger Shack just won't cut it. Along the way, they face the question every stoner must ask at some point: "Dude, didn't we come here on a cheetah?"
Stoniest moment: The cameo from Neil Patrick Harris, who turns out to be an Ecstasy-crazed heterosexual: "It's a sausage fest in here, bro. Let's get us some poontang, and then we'll go to White Castle. . . . The 'Doogie' line always works on strippers!"

Does the Atlantic ocean or other bodies of water have El Nino/La Nina-like conditions?
Yes! The Atlantic has what's called the 'NAO' or North Atlantic Oscillation. There's a positive phase which leads to warmer weather in the eastern U.S. and northern Europe (and cooler than average weather in southern Europe and the middle East. Conversely, there's a negative phase which causes the opposite trend in each of those areas.

Original recipe yields 1 - round loaf
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, yeast, sugar, salt, black olives, olive oil, and water.
- Turn out dough onto a floured board. Knead until smooth and elastic, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside, and let rise about 45 minutes, until it doubles in size. Punch down. Knead well again, for about 5 to 10 minutes. Let rise for about 30 minutes, until it doubles in size.
- Round the dough on kneading board. Place upside down in a bowl lined with a lint-free, well floured towel. Let rise until double in size.
- While the bread is rising for the third time, put a pan of water in the bottom of the oven. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
- Gently turn loaf out onto a sheet pan that has been lightly oiled and dusted with cornmeal.
- Bake loaf at 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake for 30 more minutes, or until done.

TAKE NOTICE BEFORE FOLLOWING THE DIRECTIONS VERBATIM: 15 minutes on the bottom rack at 500 degrees blackened (ie. *burned*) the top of this bread. After all the work and time I invested in preparing this loaf, I was very disappointed to have it ruined by the author's cooking instructions. Reading some of the other comments, I would have to agree that 450 degrees instead of 500 is the way to go. The original author must be in a high-altitude environment or something. The inside of the bread was extremely delicious and I will be baking this one again soon (at 450/375). Thank you for the recipe, I'm sure you didn't mean to burn my bread. :)
this is off the chart! Thanks so much for a wonderful recipe! Proofed the yeast first w/1tbsp sugar then added all but the salt. added that w/2nd cup of flour so as not to kill the yeast. I did have to use more flour but used A-P. It rose beautifully each time. Added 1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, and 1 tsp. italian seasoning. Used both black and Tunisian green olives from the family orchard. Makes for a beautiful presentation. Left the olives in larger pieces. Very rustic looking. Baked at 475 for the first 15 min. then down to 400 for the remainder. The steamed oven made for a beautiful crispy crust but the bread itself was so soft and tender. The addition of spices and garlic only added to the loaf but did not detract from the olives. Use good olives from a specialty store or olive bar at the local supermarket. I'm afraid canned olives would not fair too well in this recipe other than lending eye-appeal. Don't be afraid to try this recipe. Just prepare the rest of your meal in between risings. The most tedious part was getting all the olive away from the pits! Thanks again.
I have made this for several parties. Each time I do a little something different. My favorite variation of this recipe is substituting whole wheat for 1/2 of the white flour and adding rosemary, basil, oregano, and garlic to the dough. I doubled the olives too! Great recipe.

I'm kind of a nerd. I love data and graphs and stats. I loved every math class I ever took. So pouring over all the charts and information in my CareLink reports is right up my alley. I set a reminder on my calendar to upload my pump every Friday so the reports are always current and ready to go. Of course, there is a lot of information there, and sometimes I only have time to quickly look at the most helpful information. Read More >

When I made the leap from multiple daily injections to using a pump more than five years ago, it was a tough decision for me. Last year I wrote a post about the fears that held me back for so long and why I'm so glad I finally overcame them.

I typically use most of the options my insulin pump offers, from linking my blood glucose meter to communicate with my pump, to using temporary basal rates when I need to. One feature that I never understood (and was somewhat intimidated by) was basal patterns. I didn't fully get why I would need additional settings, in what life circumstances I would use them, and if I even trusted myself to remember to turn the basal patterns on and off once I figured all that out.

Newburyport Daily News
---- — WEST NEWBURY — A flu vaccine clinic will be held Thursday, Nov. 8, from 3 to 5 p.m. in the first-floor hearing room of the 1910 Town Office Building, 381 Main St.
The clinic was originally scheduled for the Town Annex, 379 Main St., but health officials decided to move it because a Special Town Meeting was rescheduled for 7 p.m. that same night in the Annex. The town meeting was postponed from Monday night due to the hurricane.
The Health Department reports there are limited state-supplied vaccines left. Should there be any vaccine remaining after the clinic, officials said it may be possible for people to call for an appointment to get a flu shot.
For more information, call the Council on Aging at 978-363-1104 or the Health Department at 978-363-1100, ext. 118.

Niagara Gazette — Editor's note: This is part one of a two-part series which will conclude next week.
The bursting of the housing bubble was the unquestioned cause of the Great Recession. After years of unprecedented growth in the housing market that saw home ownership and home values rise dramatically, the collective bad decisions of homebuyers, banks, and government finally caught up to the economy at large.
The supply of easy money that led to the ersatz prosperity — financial institutions foolishly gave, and government foolishly backed, mortgages for almost everyone, whether or not they were actually worthy candidates – proved to be the bane of the same. It didn't take the new homeowners — or owners of an investment property — long to figure out that easy money really wasn't so easy; their exorbitant mortgage payments weren't sustainable, especially if the slightest hiccup appeared in their personal finances – such as the small scale recession fueled by high gas prices that pre-dated the heart of the Great Recession. With their family budgets hit hard, they had to choose between paying for their mortgages or their survivability (food, utilities, and transportation). That choice not being so difficult, they defaulted on their loans. Housing prices plummeted and the financial sector suffered immensely.
Our economy still hasn't recovered a half-decade later and likely won't before the decade closes. If the ship is ever righted to the heights that we remember, it won't be long before another bubble is ready to burst; on the horizon is one that has numerous characteristics eerily similar to the housing market's — It's none other than the college bubble.
Easy access to money defines the modern college experience. Such is to be expected when you consider the federal government has been one of the largest lenders in the college loan market. From 1965 to 2010, it issued subsidies to lending institutions to fund their student loans while assuming all the risk.
