"We've heard the dog owners of this community speak out for the need for dedicated facilities where dogs may run off-leash, for exercise and play, and for both the dogs and the dogs' owners to socialize," Abramson said. "Thanks to a wonderful public-private partnership, that dream will become reality later this year."
The facility, called the Cochran Hill Dog Run at Cherokee Park, is scheduled to open by the end of August. A similar facility is already in operation at E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park.
"I'm really excited to finally have an officially sanctioned off-leash dog run in Cherokee Park," said Ward-Pugh, who worked with her Metro Council colleagues to secure funding for the project. "I think this will prove to be a convenient location and it is my fervent hope that this dog run will allow us to reclaim Baringer Hill for the walkers, runners, bicyclists, parents with strollers and seniors who have long avoided this area."
The project includes a new gravel parking area, a concrete walkway leading to an entry plaza, and a fenced area divided into two sections, one for large dogs and the other for small dogs. The two separate areas also allow one side of the dog run to be closed off and re-seeded when one area becomes muddy.
Like the facility at Sawyer State Park, the dog run will be managed by the Louisville Dog Run Association, a local non-profit organization that will cut the grass and collect trash inside the fenced area.
To use the facility, dog owners will need to secure a permit from the association. A limited number of $15 pro-rated permits valid for the remainder of 2007 will be available beginning May 14, with application forms available online at www.louisvilledogs.com. Forms will also be available after May 14 by calling MetroCall 311. In order to receive a permit, dogs must be licensed through Louisville Metro Animal Services and have current vaccinations.
Metro Parks also is partnering with the Louisville Dog Run Association to open a fenced dog run in Charlie Vettiner Park this year, with financial support from Metro Council members Stuart Benson and Robin Engel. Permits for that facility will go on sale at a future date. Abramson has talked with the non-profit group about partnering on dog runs in other city parks in future years.

Warm Welcome for Film Cast and Crew
Should you meet a member of the cast or crew for Seven Days in Utopia, the independent film that is being shot in & around Fredericksburg for the next 2 weeks, please give them a warm Fredericksburg/Hill Country welcome! The economic impact of location shoots such as this is significant for the host community. After Fredericksburg, the shoot moves to Utopia. Here is a brief synopsis of the movie:
You never know when you're going to meet someone who will change your life. Seven Days in Utopia is a film about relationships & second chances. The main character, Luke Chisolm (played by Lucas Black) is a young man trying to become a professional golfer. We pick up pieces of his upbringing by his inability to breakthrough. Strained relationships with his father and family prey on him until he has a major & very public meltdown in a big tournament in Texas, sponsored by one of the top PGA tour professionals, a recent Masters winner. Embarrassed, Luke drives off from the tournament down the back roads of Texas, and while distracted, drives his car into a ditch right at the fork in the road where a driver would have to choose either Utopia or Vanderpool. Dazed, Luke first meets the main character of the movie – a man who will change his life – Johnny Crawford (played by Robert Duvall). Over the next seven days while he is stranded in Utopia, Luke learns more about golf, life and faith than he ever bargained for.

BLUMENTHAL: Blumenthal, along with Senators Tom Harkin (D-IA), Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), released a statement on Thursday expressing their concern about a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that shows more than $1.3 billion in lost state and federal revenue by tobacco manufacturers relabeling roll-your-own tobacco as pipe tobacco.
"Tobacco manufacturers have once again found a way to skirt the law in order to continue peddling their dangerous product," the Senators said. "Congress instituted tax increases and established tobacco cessation programs to help encourage Americans to quit this harmful habit, and these efforts have proven effective. However, due to this tax loophole, tobacco companies are still able to make cheap tobacco products available, which may discourage some smokers from quitting.

After the expansion of his first and highly successful Christmas album, What Christmas Means, KEM brings the What Christmas Means Holiday Tour to the Fox Theatre on Friday, December 20 at 8 p.m.
The What Christmas Means Holiday Tour is a unique holiday experience, featuring Patti LaBelle and Ronald Isley and narrated by Anthony Anderson. KEM and his friends will take concert-goers on a holiday journey with performances of their hit songs as well as Christmas originals and classics.
Tickets ($29, $59, $79 and $99) go on sale Saturday, November 16 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased at OlympiaEntertainment.com, The Fox Theatre and Joe Louis Arena box offices, Hockeytown Authentics in Troy (without service charge) at all Ticketmaster locations and Ticketmaster.com. To charge tickets by phone, call (800) 745-3000. For more information, call (313) 471-3099.
What Christmas Means - Deluxe Edition is highlighted by the newly-recorded bonus track "JESUS" featuring legendary R&B artists, Patti LaBelle and Ronald Isley, and a duet with Verve recording artist Ledisi, "Be Mine for Christmas". Both songs are co-written by KEM and his collaborator Melanie Rutherford.
KEM produced the Deluxe Edition CD at state-of-the-art Studio A Recording in nearby Dearborn Heights, Michigan. The 14-song album weaves new and original Christmas compositions co-written by KEM, his daughter Troi and Melanie Rutherford, along with traditional holiday classics.
KEM's first Christmas album, What Christmas Means, was released on October 16, 2012. After the holiday season, the album had sold 76,000 copies, making it the #3 highest-selling Urban Christmas record in one season. Two tracks from the CD were nominated for the 44th NAACP Image Awards in 2013. "Glorify The King" and "Be Mine For Christmas (ft. Ledisi)" were both nominated in the 'Outstanding Song' category.
In February 2001, Motown Recording Artist KEM independently released his first CD, KEMISTRY, on his Kemistry Records label, selling nearly 15,000 units, after which, he was signed by Universal Motown. Motown re-released KEMISTRY in 2002, released KEM Album II in May 2005 and Intimacy in August 2010, which debuted at #2 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums list and certified Gold in March 2012. KEMISTRY, KEM Album II and Intimacy have each been certified RIAA gold, and worldwide sales are in excess of 2.4 million copies. In 2012, KEM founded Mack & Third, Inc., a Michigan domestic non-profit corporation that assists organizations that support the homeless community, including shelters and organizations which supported KEM throughout his journey from homelessness and addiction to sobriety and success. KEM's 'Mack & Third' event is an all-day free concert to benefit and recognize Detroit's homeless citizens. The 2012 event was attended by 55,000 fans and collected in excess of 130,000 canned goods. KEM's Christmas album, What Christmas Means, was released on October 16, 2012. After the holiday season, the album had sold 76,000 copies, making it the #3 highest-selling Urban Christmas record in one season. KEM wrote and recorded a duet with Ronald Isley entitled "My Favorite Thing", which was released as the second single from Ron Isley's 2013 CD, This Song Is For You.

Each year for International Women's Day, a U.N.-designated holiday celebrated on Mar. 8, Accenture, a global management consulting, technology services and outsourcing company, conducts external global research that investigates the workplace and careers and what women and men around the world have to say about them. This year, possibly more than in any of the eight years we've conducted the research, respondents' beliefs about careers and work-life balance paint a picture of change and a movement to a new normal in the workplace.
Accenture's research was conducted via an online survey of 3,900 business executives from midsize to large organizations in 31 countries. Respondents were split evenly by gender and were balanced by age and level in their organizations. The margin of error for the total sample was approximately plus or minus 2 percent. You can see the report here.
Accenture found that more than half of both the women and men surveyed (57 percent and 59 percent, respectively) said they are dissatisfied with their jobs, but more than two-thirds (69 percent) of the same respondents said they plan to stay with their current employers. What that means: The workforce is dissatisfied, yet stable. That presents an opportunity for companies to better support their employees by offering career advancement, more flexible work schedules, and new skill acquisition and training in the workplace. Unhappy employees aren't looking to leave — that's a bit of knowledge companies can use.
There are some key findings that companies should consider as they work to retain their employees. For example, 71 percent of people we surveyed said they have work-life balance most or all of the time, while 41 percent said that career demands have a negative impact on their family life. So, people's work is impinging on their lives, but they don't think their work is overwhelming their personal life — these seem in opposition. But when you consider that more than half of the respondents have some type of flexible work schedule, and 44 percent of this group has had a flex schedule for more than three years, it begins to make a bit more sense. Also, 64 percent of those surveyed say flexible work arrangements are a reason they are staying in their jobs.
When asked about the greatest barrier to career advancement, almost half said it was a lack of opportunity or a clear career path. On the other hand, a third said there are no barriers to their advancement, and only 20 percent said family responsibilities are a barrier.

Six colleges and www.markwellgroup.com.au universities are participating in a pilot program using the best overseas levitra prices it's great! viagra sales online Kindle for accessing textbooks. Princeton University, the University of Virginia, Case Western Reserve University, Reed College, Pace University and Arizona State University are all testing the technology in select courses this fall.
In May, Amazon announced its launch of a new version of the Kindle (the Kindle DX) with a larger screen designed for textbook and periodical reading and a better web browser. This pilot program is putting the new e-reader directly in the hands of its intended market.
The colleges are hoping the pilot program will lead to another way for them to increase their sustainability by reducing their use of cheapest price viagra printed paper. Textbooks and other course materials will be made available online for the classes and students selected to use the www.transitofvenus.org Kindles.
This idea is great, but mainly because textbooks and course materials should be available electronically at all schools for all classes, whether they're accessed by a Kindle, a laptop or on a computer at the library. It seems like that conversion is long overdue for textbook makers and cheap viagra with fast delivery universities. The universities participating are ones that have a bit of influence, so let's hope that if they adopt electronic course materials, others will quickly join them.

Brett - sounds like what you want is an additional feature (perhaps it's already there) that allows you to create a quick access page. Simply "favorite" a page and assign it to a category such as Formulas, Great Quotes, Strawberry Recipes, etc.
Magnulus - current version about 1,500 books. I don't know the break even point, but I'd bet it's way, way less than 1,500 books.
There might even be an energy break even point reached when one calculates the oil used to transport some of our personal libraries when we move house a couple of viagra prescription drug times. I know that I have a pickup load of paper to shift each time I relocate.
My understanding is cheap 25mg cialis that textbooks are so very expensive because of relatively low sales. I wrote a textbook for a class that I was teaching (none existed) but while publishers thought it good they didn't pick it up. Far too few similar courses were being taught across the country.
Lots of text books go out of date quickly. Moving to electronic books means that a new textbook would involve only the author(s) and an editor. Costs should greatly decrease.

Sorry, i don't want to by an e-book reader from a company that thinks it's ethically okay to essentially break into my house, take back something i bought from them and leave me a check for the item.
Even if the publisher who put the books up was in the wrong, i refuse to do business with any company that thinks it's okay to delete things i've bought from their online store.
I think i'll pick up a Sony e-reader instead. It might not have an internet connection, but they are introducing a cheaper touch screen model that costs as much as a kindel 2.

"E-books" are about making books, the information in books, more accessible.
We've gone from the wandering poet/storyteller who had one book in his head and one might get the opportunity to best soft cialis hear one told in their lifetime, to handwritten books available to only the very wealthy, to affordable printed books.
In my lifetime we've gone from expensive hard bound books to inexpensive paperbacks versions of the "good stuff".

E-books will likely kill the publishing houses. Just like on line music has largely killed the record companies and computers wiped out layers of middle management.

I think the issue here is about HOW what you supposedly own is controlled by someone other than yourself. And the monitoring that goes along with it. Where as if you bought a book, it's your alone, and you have total control of what you do with it.

When Premier Christy Clark explained why she sent her son to a private school a few years ago, she stressed the importance of a faith-based education.
"Religion is important to me," said Clark, who attends an Anglican Church. Clark is a single mom whose son went to a Catholic school for several terms.
But Clark's son now attends an elite private prep school in Vancouver. And even though the premier's office stressed to me that the school has "Anglican roots," the school's website notes that its programs are largely secular, and the school accepts students of all faiths and beliefs, including atheists.
So is religion the main reason the premier chooses a private school? Or is it because the school boasts gold-standard facilities and services for students, including small class sizes?
Questioning any parent's right to choose the best school for their child is a touchy subject in any setting, including politics.
But with Clark's government locked in a bitter battle with striking public-school teachers, the government's increased funding and support of the private-school system has become a hot topic.
Patti Bacchus, the outspoken chair of the Vancouver school board, put it this way in a Tweet: "If putting your child in an elite private school & then putting the boots to the public system is what passes for leadership . . . "
B.C. currently spends close to $300 million a year on funding grants for 348 private or independent schools attended by 76,000 students.
The system works this way: Independent schools classified as "Group One" schools receive per-student grants equal to 50 per cent of the amount spent on each student in the public system.
The Group One schools are the largest classification of independent schools and include Catholic and other faith-based schools.
Group Two schools include elite private prep schools that typically have stricter admission standards, higher tuition fees and courses that prepare students for university. These schools receive a 35-per-cent-per-student funding grant from government.
But why should private schools receive any money from the government at all?
"Public education funding should go to public education, period," said Vancouver school-board trustee Mike Lombardi.
"Private schools are fine, but they should pay their own way. If I want to join the Arbutus Club, I wouldn't expect taxpayers to subsidize that. Why should it be any different for private schools?"
But comparing private schools to private country clubs isn't fair, counters Peter Froese, head of the Federation of Independent School Associations of B.C.
"Our schools are not Arbutus Clubs — they are education facilities providing students in this province with the same education offered in the public system."
Independent schools that receive public funding are required to teach kids the same B.C. curriculum taught in the public system, and the kids who graduate from independent schools receive the same Dogwood certificate issued by public schools, Froese said.
The independent schools must employ provincially-certified teachers, provide classes in facilities that meet provincial standards and are subject to government monitoring and inspection, he added.
"So why shouldn't a portion of the government funding allocated for education purposes go to independent schools providing that education?" he asks.
Lombardi's response: because not every kid can go to an independent school.
"Private schools pick and choose who they want and they tend not to take kids with behavioural or special-needs problems," the school trustee says.
"That's a myth," fires back Froese, saying independent schools accept thousands of special-needs kids and more than 14 per cent of students receive assistance for learning difficulties.
Froese argues that the $300 million taxpayers spend on private schools each year is actually a good deal, because it would cost more to educate those kids in the public system.
"Independent schools receive 5.3 per cent of the total education budget in British Columbia and we're educating 12 per cent of the enrolment — that's an incredible deal as far as taxpayers are concerned," he said.
But Lombardi cites statistics of his own that show government spending on private schools is rising much faster than spending on the public system.
"Since 2005, private-school funding has increased 48 per cent, while public-education funding has increased by 17 per cent," he argues.
"If the funds given to private schools were given to public education, we would not have the shortfalls we have in the public system right now."
But think about this: If the government stopped funding private schools, those schools would have to jack up tuition fees, forcing many parents to send their kids to the public system, where the government would have to pay 100 per cent of the costs.
So wouldn't that place even heavier cost pressures on cash-strapped school districts?
"Even the NDP realize that it's not financially viable to discontinue the funding to independent schools because it would become a huge cost burden to taxpayers," said Froese, noting the NDP promised in last year's election that it would not cut funding to private schools.
But Lombardi said it all comes down to a "philosophical" argument.
"The fact is private schools can choose who they let in, while public schools are required to accept every kid who shows up on the doorstep," the trustee said.
"When you can make a decision to not let somebody in because of their socio-economic status or their religion, I say it's unacceptable for public education funding to be used for that."
But it's also a fact that private schools reduce overall educational costs for government, which is one reason the government will keep funding them.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - It continues to be the coldest day of the year in Wisconsin.
The mercury was still below zero at mid-afternoon as far south as Viroqua and Watertown. Several cities were at five-below, and Marshfield was the southern-most place in that group.
Milwaukee was the warm spot at 7 above. Winds were relatively light, so wind chill factors were not a problem.
The actual temperature got down to 28-below in parts of northern Wisconsin early Monday. The National Weather Service says a high pressure system that delivered the Arctic cold is moving to our east, so it won't be as cold Monday night.
It's supposed to be partly to mostly cloudy this evening, with a new chance of light snow as another low pressure system gets closer to Wisconsin. Overnight lows are expected to be 4 to 10-below.
During the day on New Year's Eve, there's a continued chance of light snow -- but it's supposed to remain cold, with highs of zero to 8-above statewide.

In looking over referrers to the Evo site I noticed a portion of hits coming from this site so I had a look at the evo page here. I was a little disappointed that it seems to be just a copy paste of the about page on the evo site (which is very badly written and entirely my own fault).
Another annoying thing is that it points to desura for the download which is not particularly good. I would much rather it point to http://www.evolutionrts.info/download
Unfortunately Desura has failed game developers very badly, and I can't be arsed to deal with it much anymore. Not to mention the fact that if someone messages me there or leaves a comment I have no way to get notified of it. Failure all the way around. Whereas the proper evo site is tied in with the G+ community (Forums) and various easy ways to get in touch with me.
But the #1 thing that actually upset me is that it is listed as closed source! It is absolutely not closed source! On the same page, it links to the changes list on the google code page, where all the source is open and available! The current license is Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States and can be viewed at https://code.google.com/p/evolutionrts/source/browse/trunk/Evolution%20RTS%20-%20Creative%20Commons%20Deed.pdf.
I realize managing a massive games db can't be a very easy job, so it kinda makes sense that this is likely an automated posting, no worries, nice to have the exposure! So thanks for that! :-)
Managing a game is a lot of very hard work and keeping everything in one sock is very difficult. I appreciate your patience!
I will rewrite the about page on the site right after I finish this post. Thanks for listening to me bellyache :-)
Edit: Crap no way to subscribe to the topic. I'll try to remember to check back semi-often for any replies.
Some clarifications:
- Download and Install
the name is historical, atm we only list thirdparty distribution of specific sites namely: Desura, Steam, humblebundle, indie game stand and Linux Package search. I can see how this is misleading and unsuited for projects that mainly use there own website to distribute their game. (in a first attempt to clarify i changed the name but we might find a more suitable solution)
- License
unfortunately i couldn't open the supplied pdf. but like you said it should be OSI compliant. So this will change.
- Subscription
Good point, we will try to get something implemented.
>it seems to be just a copy paste of the about page
Everybody can edit game pages so this should be no issue
NC & ND don't fit the term "open source", both break rule #1(Free Redistribution) of the Open Source Definition

OSI is the only organization that uses the term "open source" in the public. Other organizations like debian or the fsf use "free software" but all agree that the nc and nd licences are not free or open.
>I suggest modifying how you use the term "Open Source", because it does not mean what you are intending to mean...
I see no need for that. If you use a term like open source you need a clear definition what it is and the OSI is the only organization that provides one. It's also already described here ( http://www.lgdb.org/game_categories#12 )
You seem to be confused... Where did you miss the part about all of the code being GPL v2? Only the art is off limits, specifically models and textures for those models. Everything else is fair game.
The project itself is nc nd, but the things contained therein are sometimes under other licenses that are compatible. In this case, GPL v2.
>You seem to be confused... Where did you miss the part about all of the code being GPL v2?
No I'm not, as you can see in the link above "The engine and all game files".
>Only the art is off limits, specifically models and textures for those models. Everything else is fair game.
I guess you don't understand: We are the LGDB not LEDB - We list games not engines! :)
Art is an important thing in a game it makes your game/mod different to all those other spring mods. Without the assets EvolutionRTS is just (a/the spring) engine and not a game.
Open game art might also be far more useful than another engine,
because it allows the reuse for countless other projects/people.
==>Code is only useful for programmers, art is useful for everybody.
The thread is about how the engine's license affects game content. Specifically, all game code must be GPL. Art can be any other license that is compatible.
In Evo, the art is CC by NC ND, and the code is GPL. The project itself is also CC by NC ND. An example being, you couldn't just copy it and make a derivative of the project itself without permission.
It is not uncommon for open source projects to make use of multiple licenses.
GPL is for code, not art. Anyone can tell you that. CC is great for art but not so great for code.
>make a derivative of the project itself without permission.
Its not only the project it applies to all your assets which means nobody can't edit them see also the official Creative commons description for the CC BY-NC-ND(http://creativecommons.org/examples#by-nc-nd):
This license is the most restrictive of our six licenses, only allowing others to download your works and share them with others as long as they credit you, but they can't change them in any way or use them commercially.
sounds this open to you?
>It is not uncommon for open source projects to make use of multiple licenses.
Not a problem but we rate a game by it's weakest license (in your case NC-ND)
>GPL is for code, not art. Anyone can tell you that. CC is great for art but not so great for code.
Not really there is many art licensed under GPL or LGPL, but I agree CC(BY or BY-SA) or ArtLibre is probably better for art...
I'm not sure why this is hard for you to understand.
The source is open. Period. You wanna see it? http://www.source.evolutionrts.info
It's on Google Code for crying out loud. You couldn't get more visible short of uploading it to github.
Art assets (Models and Unit Textures for those models) are protected via CC by NC SA.
Lua scripts are licensed via GPL, WTFPL, PD, and various other GPLish/compatible licenses.
The project as a whole is protected via CC by NC SA. Just because the project as a whole is licensed one way, does not mean that other individual parts of that project cannot fly under other banners.
Since this is dealing strictly with linux, I would muchly prefer that the instructions on the SpringRTS.com page were followed. That will ensure the best possible experience.
Those instructions are basically this page:
For Debian/*buntu it's pretty straightforward due to synaptic. The rest are pretty simple as well.
Desura evo simple sends you to http://www.weblobby.evolutionrts.info , which up until a few weeks ago was perfect, but web browers are tired of java and oracle sucking, and have declared war on both, so self signed applets are in deep doodoo.
I actually made a newspost regarding this yesterday:
Unfortunately, cross platform apps like spring tend to get really messy due to the extreme differences in how windows packages are handled vs linux packages.
Moreover, linux packages get extremely difficult to deal with when you have an app that actively supports multiple versions of itself (such as spring... the lobby downloads whatever version of the engine is appropriate for you automatically).
Spring went though a pretty intense growing period of static linking, which is how multi-engine is handled now.
Anyway, thanks for your comments and support. I rewrote the about page last night, and while it isn't any great literary work, it should be a bit more appropriate.
I wasn't aware that I could edit the about page myself... I'll hop on it. Thought I would add some pictures to illustrate the "Features" list as well on the main site. Dunno if I can add images inline here, but if I can, I'll add them here as well.
Thanks much for everything!
Edit: I've updated the listing now :-)

Current Issue: Are You Aware of These Household Hazards?
You can't protect your child from every cut, scrape, or bruise. Such injuries are virtually a rite of childhood. You can take precautions to make your home a safer place, though. Here are 4 household hazards you may have never considered.
Back Issues
Many Teens Feeling Stressed Out
We all feel stress. And children aren't immune to the pressure. They may struggle with school, sports, and other daily demands. A recent national survey shows stress can be especially troubling for teenagers.
Safety Restraints Save Children's Lives
Your car can be a dangerous place for your child. More children die from motor vehicle accidents than from any other type of mishap. The latest statistics show such incidents are declining. But many more could be prevented with proper safety restraints.
More U.S. Children Need a Daily Dose of Exercise
One hour a day. That's all it takes for your child to meet the national physical activity guidelines. Unfortunately, a recent government report found too few U.S. children are reaching that goal.
Hearing Loss Is Hitting Children Hard
Parents, now hear this: More American children are losing some or all of their hearing. But too few parents seem to be aware of any hearing hazards, according to a recent survey. By taking steps now, you can help keep your child's hearing well-tuned into adulthood.
Could Your Teen Daughter Have PCOS?
Puberty can be a trying time in a young girl's life. Your daughter may struggle with acne or irregular periods. These are often normal coming-of-age signs. But they can sometimes indicate a serious condition called polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS.
Behavioral Problems Linked to Toxic Lead
As every parent knows, your little angel can sometimes be bad. But if a young child has serious behavioral problems, it may be a sign of lead poisoning. A recent study found lead's toxic effects may not just be physical.
Ear Infections: A Frequent Child Malady
It's a common childhood complaint: an earache. Ear pain often heralds an ear infection — the leading reason children visit the doctor. The American Academy of Pediatrics recently updated its guidelines for managing ear infections. Arm yourself with the latest about this frequent child malady.
Play It Safe on the Playground
Whatever your child imagines, a playground can be: a pirate ship, a fort, a medieval castle. Playgrounds are perfect places to exercise your child's mind and body. A few precautions can help keep these areas of adventure and activity safe.
The Benefits of Well-Child Visits
Childhood is prime time for episodes worthy of a doctor visit. Sprains, concussions, and ear infections-to name just a few. A trip to the doctor when your child is well can be just as essential. Periodic well-child visits can alert you to developmental delays and provide valuable parenting advice. They may even help deter critical care, such as hospitalizations.
Deciphering Autism's Origins
More parents and doctors are on the alert for autism spectrum disorder (ASD )-often simply called autism. They know its symptoms: social problems, communication troubles, and repetitive behavior. This greater awareness may be behind rising rates of ASD, particularly in children ages 6 to 17.
Start Sun Protection Young
Sunscreen may already be a family staple for a trip to the beach or an afternoon by the pool. But protecting your child from skin cancer requires more than a dab of sun defense. A recent study found that melanoma-the deadliest type of skin cancer-is becoming more common in children. Teaching your child proper sun safety early can prevent skin cancer for a lifetime.
Family Focus: Less Sodium for All
Your child probably loves pizza. And how about hot dogs, lunch meat, or cheese? In addition to being many children's favorites, these foods are high in sodium. They contribute to a startling fact: Many children eat as much sodium as adults in the U.S. That's setting the table for serious concerns about children's future heart health.
Children Can Suffer ACL Injuries, Too
Parents of young athletes may expect the occasional bruise, scrape, or pulled muscle. But an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) may seem a more likely concern for a professional running back or a slam-dunking hoop star. Yet millions of children every year suffer serious sports injuries, including torn ACLs.
Energy Drinks: Not a Good Choice for Children
They're labeled with compelling names, such as Monster Energy and Rockstar. X-Game athletes sport their brands on jackets and hats. Energy drinks exude an ethos that attracts many children and young adults. Although these beverages may be considered cool, they're not a healthy choice for your child.
Give Your Child an Academic Boost—Exercise!
Keeping your child active may not always be easy. Children may be more interested in video games, YouTube videos, or the latest episode of American Idol. But regular physical activity can help curb childhood obesity, an epidemic that affects more than 12 million U.S. kids. Urging your child to move more has other benefits, too. It may even improve academic performance.
Preventing Teen Dating Abuse
The teen years can be an exciting and anxious time for your child - and you. One of the more nerve-wracking moments may be your child's dating. It's natural for a parent to worry. You want to keep your child safe. Knowing about the dangers of teen dating violence can help you prevent it and, if needed, identify such abuse.
Flame Retardants May Affect Kids' Development
The family's well-worn couch. Grandpa's favorite old chair. Of all the things parents may worry about, these items probably don't make the list. But according to a new study, maybe they should, particularly if they contain flame retardants. Furniture, carpet, electronics, and other products that are made with such chemicals may increase a child's risk for developmental problems. Exposure to them may lead to a lower IQ, inattention, and coordination troubles.
More Youths Abuse Painkillers
Talking with your child about drug abuse is important. It helps to keep him or her healthy. But did you know you should cover prescription painkillers in that chat? A new study points to why.
U.S. Kids' Diet Too Salty for Their Health
The average child or teen in the U.S. consumes nearly 3,400 mg of sodium each day - or more than 1,000 mg above the recommended maximum. Some researchers say that high salt intake is what's driving an increase in high blood pressure among kids.

By Howard Pousner / email@example.com
Georgia bluesman Robert. L. "Chick" Willis, who played with his cousin Chuck Willis and Elmore James before making a name for himself with a particularly adult take on the blues, has died.
Willis passed away on Dec. 7, according to his official web site (www.chickwillis.com). Funeral services are planned for 11 a.m. Dec. 21 at Antioch Baptist Church, 1096 Old Cabaniss Road, Forsyth.
Born in Monroe County, where he resided for most of his life, Willis was 79.
In a rambling essay he penned for the Web site www.blueshalloffame.com seven years ago, Willis boasted, "I am the blues."
The essay addressed many of the ills inflicting the genre. Willis concluded it with: "I could write a book about the Blues that most people that listen to the Blues don't know, but that would take me a long time because you see I have so much to say just like many many Blues Artists that went to Blues Heaven. I bet they are sitting around telling their BLUES story to one another."
The Willis family is seeking help with burial expenses. Donations can be made at any Bank of America to the Chick Willis Foundation (account # 334040908303).
Here is a biography of Willis from AllMusic.com:
Cousin to the late blues ballad singer Chuck Willis, Robert "Chick" Willis is primarily beloved for his ribald, dozens-based rocker "Stoop Down Baby." The guitarist cut his original version in 1972 for tiny La Val Records of Kalamazoo, MI, selling a ton of 45s for the jukebox market only (the tune's lyrics were way too raunchy for airplay).
Willis left the military in 1954, hiring on as valet and chauffeur to cousin Chuck, then riding high with his many R&B hits for OKeh Records. At that point, Chick's primary role on the show was as a singer (he made his own vinyl debut in 1956 with a single, "You're Mine," for Lee Rupe's Ebb Records after winning a talent contest at Atlanta's Magnolia Ballroom), but he picked up the guitar while on the road with his cousin (Chick cites Guitar Slim as his main man in that department).
When Chuck died of stomach problems in 1958, Willis soldiered on, pausing in Chicago to work as a sideman with slide guitar great Elmore James. A few obscure 45s ("Twistin' in the Hospital Ward," cut for Alto in 1962, sounds promising) preceded the advent of "Stoop Down Baby," which Willis has freshened up for countless sequels ever since (he developed the song by teasing passersby with his ribald rhymes while working in a carnival variety show).
Risqué material remained a staple of Willis's output in recent years. He cut several albums for Ichiban, notably 1988's "Now!, Footprints in My Bed" in 1990, and "Back to the Blues" in 1991.

> Tom Harrell
Tom Harrell
"Tom Harrell is the best musician I've ever encountered in 40 years of playing music," says alto sax giant Phil Woods, in whose quintet Harrell played trumpet and flugelhorn for six years. "I've played with some great musicians and I've never played with anyone better than Tom Harrell." These sentiments are widely echoed in the jazz community. All players that work with Tom become loyal colleagues and fans.
Born in Urbana, Illinois, and raised in Los Altos, California, Tom took up trumpet at the age of eight. "I liked the sound of it," he says. "It's an extroverted sort of instrument. That appealed to me." The Louis Armstrong and Benny Goodman recordings in his parents' collection also appealed to him. He began playing jazz immediately. Tom lists Clifford Brown as one of his strongest early influences. "I still listen to Clifford for inspiration," Tom says.
After graduating from Stanford University in 1969 with a degree in music composition, he went out on the road with Stan Kenton and then with Woody Herman. He joined the Horace Silver Quintet in 1973.
He was a regular member of the group for four years. "I learned about all the elements of music from him," Tom says of Silver. "He would always do material with different kinds of rhythmic feels-Latin, funk, straight-ahead- and I've been influenced by that when I do things on my own." Tom cut five albums with Horace and went on to record with Bill Evans, Lee Konitz and Bob Brookmeyer.
After Silver, Tom worked with all the jazz greats from Lionel Hampton to the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis big band. In 1979 Tom played his first gig with Phil Woods. In 1984 he became a regular member of the group. From the nurturing, creative shelter of the Phil Woods Quintet, Tom has emerged as a prolific composer and arranger as well as one of the very finest trumpet players.
Passages, Tom Harrell's fifth recording as a leader and first release for Chesky Records, pulled together and balanced all of his formidable creative strengths into a powerful artistic statement. "I want my music to reach people," says Tom, "but I still want to try to experiment with it as much as I can, with the materials that are out there. I think it's still possible to do both."
Now, with the release of Tom's latest, and greatest recording, Upswing, featuring jazz greats Joe Lovano, Danilo Perez, Bill Goodwin and, of course, Phil Woods, Harrell has realized the continuation of his dream. As with Passages, Upswing makes a powerful artistic statement. The music on Upswing is, however, so joyful and relentlessly swinging that the accent here leans decidedly upon reaching people. Here, more than on any of his previous recordings, Tom reveals an inner joy and strength in his writing and playing, and Upswing is a true reflection of this.
"An amazing array of high-powered musicianship...With Tom Harrell, Joe Lovano, Phil Woods, Danilo Perez, Peter Washington, Bill Goodwin, you know you're going to get tight ensemble playing, solid swing, and inspired improvisation. And of course there's the added sparkle of Chesky sonics - almost as legendary as the musicians themselves. What more could you ask for?" - CD Review
"For several years now, Tom Harrell has been on the short list of truly inventive trumpet and flugelhorn players. For Upswing, he gathers a powerful supporting cast who help push Harrell to some of his hottest playing in years." - Jazziz

The Edmonton Oilers are playing the Los Angeles Kings tonight, this is kind of a perfect storm for one bad night. The Kings stifle creativity and discourage talking, chewing gum, jocularity and rambunctious behavior of any kind. If you could just sit there and breath we would appreciate it, and for God's sake the hockey is going to be the driest game of the calendar year. Desert hockey. I can't breathe just thinking about it.
Ales Hemsky has been getting a lot of attention in the last 24 hours. Dallas Eakins wonderful off day media conference saw the coach come to the aid of the player, but the song remains the same. Or does it? One of the writers take a different angle. Interesting.
David Staples picked up on a story by Randy Russon yesterday, in which we find Mr. Russon encouraging Sault Ste Marie fans to stop booing Darnell Nurse. As David details, coming on the heels of the WJ snub this isn't a good arrow:
- Staples: There's no word on exactly why fans are booing Nurse, but having seen this kind of scenario play out in Edmonton, it's almost always a run of defensive mistakes coupled with a perceived lack of effort that bring out the boo birds.
So, we're off to the races. We don't really know if there's been a run of defensive mistakes, or a perceived lack of effort, but once these things reach the printed word it's out there and the piling on of an 18-year old is underway. Fresh meat! Stu's not a magnificent bastard! What was MacT thinking?
Russon's article has a mysterious feel to it, not quite certain I can identify the overall thrust. This passage does cast an interesting light:
- Russon: Afterall, if an OHL team such as the Greyhounds can get away with charging $18 a ticket, I suppose fans feel they have the right to hiss and boo if they think they are being short-changed by the performance of a player or players.
So we have the citizens of Sault Ste. Marie needing to boo either because of these crazy ticket prices, or a short performance from the players, or both. I'm not smart enough to figure this out, but I bet if we all huddle together there's a slight chance we do it together. The keys from the article appear to be:
- $18 tickets prices
- 18-year olds not playing well in a short time frame
- an article that gets a tremendous amount of attention because it's tied to a very famous teenager.
I attempted to read more stories from Mr. Russon about Nurse and the Greyhounds, but found that he seems to write mostly about the NOJHL. I read a few articles, but was unable to find the price of their tickets anywhere. I suspect it is well shy of $18.
Sheldon Keefe is the head coach of the Greyhounds. His tweet seems to run counter to Mr. Russon's article, and leaves me wondering just where we are with this story. Hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this, and perhaps we can find out the prices of other junior hockey tickets across the nation. This $18 ticket sounds monstrous.
The WJ's are going to be a bit of a dud for Oiler fans (no Nurse, Yakupov is in the NHL to stay, etc) but the two Russian third rounders from the most recent draft will offer some interest for me. Yakimov started like a house on fire and really does look like a prospect of interest, Slepyshev had a slow start but has started to rally recently. It'll be fun to watch them during the WJ's and it looks like they'll have feature roles.
This is theft (grabbed it from a Dellow tweet) and this follows up Tyler's article on the Winnipeg Jets yesterday. As he states, this is merely marrying F to D 5×5 Corsi for while they are on the ice. So, Taylor Hall is having an awful year no matter, while Eberle was over 50% with Larsen, Belov and Smid. Interesting. Perron is also having a reasonable season and Arcobello is also posting some numbers (with Justin Schultz and Belov no less) this year. Now this doesn't include zone starts/toughness of opps, just Corsi for % raw, but is fascinating information when presented in this way.
TSN 1260, 10 this morning and a lot to talk about with my guests. Scheduled to appear:
- Bruce McCurdy from the Cult of Hockey. We'll talk about tonight's game, and improving this team for next year.
- Brock Otten, OHL prospects. We'll get to the bottom of this Nurse business, and talk about the OHL kids eligible for the 2014 draft.
- Harrison Mooney, Puck Daddy. Canucks are rolling now, but they're always doing things that will eventually cost them. Zack Kassian's antics are the most recent example.
- Corey Graham, Oil Kings play-by-play on tsn 1260. The OK's are really kicking out the jams now, we'll talk about this team's winning streak and ability to cover up for player loss.
10-1260 via text, @Lowetide_ on twitter. Stay tuned!
