I like to walk and hate driving downtown so I picked this hotel because it was within walking distance of a Washington subway stop, in fact the final stop on the line at Shady Grove. The hotel was conveniently located very close to the highway coming in from out of town and was reasonably priced. Only negative for me was that I ended up in a room adjacent to a loud family with a baby and the walls seemed thin enough that I did have at least one interrupted sleep. I did not ask to be moved and the air conditioner in the room was loud enough to drown out that sound on the subsequent night. Nearby food options are a bit limited but there are decent delivery options. One small negative was that the gift/convenience shop in the lobby was closed mid-day, opposite to the stated hours, but hotel explained to me that the shop is privately owned and keeps unpredictable hours. Friendly people working here too.

I'm about to begin a large scale web app project. The premise of this project is it will be a destination website that aggregates content (content is to be collected with a crawler/bot that runs independently and at set intervals to index data provided from partners that have approved our technique) and displays this content to users. Users can tailor what content the platform presents them with by ranking content, in an attempt to give the platform data to determine what content the user is likely to find favorable. (Yes, I know this sounds just like stumbleupon.com)
The creator of this idea is non-technical, and he has previous experience developing websites using wordpress. Because of this, his first instinct was to call for a CMS in creating this project. My instinct as a developer that has extensive web development experience building web apps with PHP/Codeigniter, is that a CMS was never intended to be used to create such a purpose-specific tailor-made app like this -- and attempting to use one would create a lot of unnecessary overhead/clutter in the project.
I'm thinking it might be better to build a back-end interface to view/add/edit/remove content that the spider collects, since I imagine this is the only type of access/control that non-technical partners will need in this project. (possible also ban users, remove inappropriate comments on content, etc)
But what do you guys think, is there some sort of value that a CMS could provide to a project like this? Are there situations where it's a generally accepted rule that a CMS is good/bad? I'm coming from years of PHP app building using frameworks like codeigniter, and recently I've had to do work on a wordpress site -- which to me seemed like a disgusting mess of global variables, endless 'hooks' to get code to execute when/where you need it to, etc.
I should add that an intended feature to add to all of this is users will be able to add their own content to our collection of aggregated content. Just another feature that makes me think this app is too 'unique' to be properly developed on top of a CMS.
Another thing to add is scalability is a big concern. We want to build this to be able to handle anywhere from 200,000 - 2,000,000 - 20,000,000 unique visitors per month. That means using everything at our disposal, load balancing, memcached-caching, worker processes/servers, high-availability mysql and mongodb databases (for different purposes in our web app), content-delivery-networks, hosting asset files independently of application server, etc. I'm uneasy about giving up direct control over all of the code because in the past I've used my ability to touch everything to fine-tune any performance issues/bottlenecks.

Olympic wrestler says God and wrestling saved him from self-destruction
Our take: U.S. Olympic wrestler Tervel Dlagnev was on a path of self-destruction until he found the sport of wrestling that let him become a three-time U.S. freestyle heavyweight champion and a 2009 world bronze medalist. Now, considered the best hope for the U.S. to take the gold in the sport, Dlagnev credits his Christian faith with helping to shape his determination and dedication to being the best and with helping him set aside a disrespectful, lazy attitude that almost caused him to miss out.
He was pudgy, lazy, disrespectful and on the verge of flunking out of his Texas high school.
His parents let him make most of his own decisions, which was their way of letting him experience the freedoms they didn't have before fleeing then-communist Bulgaria.
He swore like a drunken sailor.
Teachers called home all the time to complain about his behavior.
On July 27, Tervel Dlagnev will march in the Opening Ceremonies of the XXX Olympiad in London, representing not just the United States, but also the notion that, as an immigrant, the American dream is what you make it, and the final product almost never is what you expect.
Some say wrestling saved him.

The Tennessee Legislature hoped to end its 2016 session Wednesday at the end of an eventful day that included a failed attempt to override Gov. Bill Haslam's veto of the bill that would have made the Bible the official state book.But into Wednesday evening, the state House was still debating the Hall tax on dividends – specifically further roll backs of it. And the Senate had gone home for the night.So Thursday looks like a good bet for the adjournment for the year and the formal start of the election season for incumbents.

Reincarnated on Broadway
Fifteen Years After Making His Debut in 'Arcadia,' an Actor Helps Revive the Play
Sixteen years after making his Broadway debut in Tom Stoppard's masterwork, "Arcadia," actor Billy Crudup is revisiting the play from a new perspective. "Arcadia" is set in two time periods, with characters making discoveries that echo one another across the space-time continuum, so it is fitting that Mr. Crudup has graduated to playing a different character in the show—one who exists in another time period altogether.
In the 1995 production, Mr. Crudup played Septimus Hodge, a 19th-century tutor with a particularly prescient pupil, and a friend of Lord Byron. In this revival, a London transfer opening Thursday at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, Mr. Crudup plays Bernard Nightingale, a modern-day scholar who theorizes that Lord Byron shot a lesser poet in a duel.
"He's played two characters whose world falls apart, but with very different consequences," said the play's director, David Leveaux. "He's grown up with 'Arcadia,' as it were. "It's always been there."
Mr. Crudup, who was born in Long Island and lives in the city, spoke with the Journal about returning to the show.
How did the passage of more than a decade affect your decision to join this new staging of "Arcadia"?
Firstly, you can't believe 15 years have passed. Secondly, very briefly, you say, "I'm too old for Septimus now." When you recover your senses, then you discover you're too old for Bernard, too. [Laughs.] I did have to call Victor Garber and ask his permission, but beyond that, it was an easy call for me.
Mr. Garber played Bernard Nightingale in the original production, and that's the role you have now. Was it to your benefit or disadvantage having been able to observe his performance first-hand?
It was a tremendous benefit because I got to watch Victor Garber play the role! [Laughs.] As far as acting it, though, I thought I had an understanding of it just through osmosis and hearing it over and over, when in fact I didn't really have an understanding of what it was like from the inside. I took for granted for a number of weeks that I understood things that I actually didn't. So to that extent, it was a gross disservice to my process to have heard it so many times. I never had that experience before of working on a play from a different perspective.
There's so much material to unpack in "Arcadia," and you've got to do it within different time constructs that eventually overlap. How were you able to find the rhythm of the script?
It's something that's interesting about being in both time periods of this play. In my experience of doing the 19th century, it was a very tight, textual construction. If you followed the rhythms of it in a certain way, there was a very predictable payoff in audience comprehension and amusement. It's not the same for the contemporary part of it. The interactions are much closer to how I might consider jazz, which is unpredictability followed by surprising resonance. That was a difficult leap for me to make because my associations with "Arcadia" were very firmly entrenched. I spent quite a bit of time in rehearsal just trying to adjust to a different way of working with the words, and I'm still making that adjustment.
In Mel Gussow's book "Conversations with Stoppard," the playwright says: "Writing dialogue is the only respectable way of contradicting yourself." How do you reconcile that idea in "Arcadia"?
I often sit backstage and think, Where's Tom in this? Who is he? Is he Thomasina, who pines over the lost library of Alexandria? Or is he Septimus, who says, "We shed as we pick up"? Or is he Hannah, saying, "You can't believe in an afterlife"? Where is he in those [characters]? And that's a great insight into him—he lives in each of them.
You have a history now with performing Stoppard plays. What's your relationship with the playwright been like over the years?
We've spent a good deal of time together, and he's incredibly supportive. I can't believe I get to communicate and work with someone of his caliber. The fact that I got to do it once, 15 years ago, that's enough. That's winning the lottery. You shouldn't get more than that. The fact that this is my third [time working with him], it's unfair. For somebody who has the capacity to construct, with what must be formidable effort using incredible theatrical creations, he is, at the same time, such a beautiful collaborator.
As characters, how do Bernard and Septimus relate?
It's as though there are some people who choose to hike up to the top of a mountain to see if when they jump, they can fly. Bernard is rushing up the mountain, not really having thought it through, not wearing the right gear, probably still wearing his loafers. As soon as he jumps, he goes, "What am I supposed to do?" Septimus is sitting there going, "I'm pretty sure I know how to."

Dolls, ditch your road map and do yourself a favor and take these directions to get to the house. Trust me! From Atlanta
Take I-75 North | Get on to I-575 north towards Canton
This turns into Hwy 515; same highway, just changes names
When going through Jasper, Pickens County, watch the 55 speed limit as it is heavily enforced.
Go through Ellijay. In Blue Ridge turn left at Hwy 5, McDonalds on the corner. Go approximately 7 miles to Abernathy Furniture Store on the left side of the road. Turn left on to Old Hwy 5.
Go .1 of a mile to Madola; turn right. Go 3.4 miles to Lebanon Rd., turn left. Go one mile and you will see a large structure on the right, which is Cadence Equestrian Center. The entrance is on the right with a sign and as you turn right you will go through a set of iron gates. You are now on Cadence Crossing. Go up the hill to Saddleback Trail and turn left. Cadence Ridge is the 1st house on the right.

Mama Doll
Hey Dolls! We've narrowed the home down to 3. As we make our decision on which ONE will be our dollhouse cabin, we have a couple questions, a poll if you will:
1. For this getaway get together, in order of importance, what's more important: activities, scenic views from the cabin or sleeping arrangements?
2. If given the option to pay a lesser rate, would you, if it meant giving up a bedroom for a sleeper sofa?
3. what would you like to "do" while there?
This poll closes tomorrow at 2pm. Please come in and comment on BOTH of these. Please & thank you.

MornTink!!!!! Dolls, today is the day to pay $125 your dollhouse cabin deposits. The opportunity closes at midnight for this Affair. Update: Because I have so much going on behind the scenes preparing for the upcoming annual announcements, after midnight tonight, I will close this Affair to new RSVPs. There will be no late registrations or deposits. As I don't want to wait for late YES RSVPs, that may change to NO at the last minute, after we've waited. So, this is the last chance to confirm your stay. Tomorrow morning, based on the number of paid RSVPs, I will begin planning this getaway gathering with hue. If you're not going, update your RSVP to reflect this. If you're going and you remain unpaid, pay your deposits at blackdollaffairstore.com on this link: http://bit.ly/Wj2k47

Final Fantasy X & X-2 HD Limited Edition spotted in GameStop ad
Although Square Enix has made no mention of such a thing, GameStop is reportedly advertising a limited edition for Final Fantasy X & X-2 HD. According to the retailer's latest flyer, you'll score a free upgrade to the limited edition with all pre-orders for the Vita RPG bundle. Requests for more information have so far proved fruitless.
Thanks, Gematsu.

I wanted to have the time shown on my posts and I figured out how to make that happen, now my problem is having the correct time displayed.
On the options page in the admin area the UTC time is shown as "2005-10-07 6:31:17 am" and actual time is 11:38pm on 10/6/05. I have it set as a 7 hour difference in the next field and it doesn't change the time of my posts at all. Not even going back and editing the time itself makes a difference.
This is what I have in my index.php file for the date and time - <?php the_time('F d, Y'); ?> @ <?php the_time('h:i a'); ?>.
It may be a 7 hour difference shown from what I see on the options page, but when you look at my blog (http://julie.beautiful-mess.net/word/) it's actually a 12 hour difference. Or more simply put any time displayed as am should be pm and vice versa.
Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks.

"Dordrecht - home of the de Witt brothers" Top 5 Page for this destination Dordrecht by Airpunk
Dordrecht Travel Guide: 112 reviews and 286 photos
Dordrecht is an old town with a large historical background. It has a wonderful old town, an impressive old church and is the home of the de Witt brothers. Oh yes, and by the way, it can claim to be the cradle of the dutch nation: It was here where the representatives of some dutch cities came together to confirm William of Orange as their leader and organize the revolution against Spain which would lead to independence.
Dordrecht, which is also called "Dordt" by the locals, is a growing town and just a few kilometers away from Rotterdam to the southeast. It has around 120 000 inhabitants. Tourism plays a great role, although not in the same way like in Amsterdam or Delft. It's worth a visit, if you have a longer stay in Rotterdam, but it hasn't enough to offer to stay more than a day.
- Pros:Beautiful old town, impressive church (with great view from top)
- Cons:Too small for more than a day

Hi all, first things first this problem has stumped me for about a week and i would love a working answer!
I would like to know how to invoke the Windows Security Dialog (press ctrl+alt+del on a windows workstation NOTE: i dont want the task manager!) programatically.
ON AN XP WORKSTATION, don't worry about Win7 or Vista
Ideally with a quick example in C# (or VB.NET if you must)
Ive searched many of the DLL's such as
msgina.dll and i can't find it anywhere!
Alternatively Just invoking the change password screen would be nice!
Many thanks internets in advance

Raintree South Golf Club
Enjoy a round at one of Southern Ohio's premier golf clubs with today's feature: $18 for 18 Holes with Cart and Range Balls at Raintree South Golf Club — Formerly Cooks Creek Golf Club — in Ashville near Columbus ($66 Value. Expires May 15, 2014.)
Raintree South Golf Club, formerly known as Cooks Creek Golf Club, is known as one of Ohio's premier upscale daily fee courses. Conveniently located just 25 minutes south of Columbus, Raintree South maintains a spacious layout marked by wide fairways, large swaths of glistening lakes and scenic views of the Scioto River. You'll be immersed in a challenging layout that demands creativity without sacrificing any of the course's gorgeous natural aesthetic.
The award-winning design was created by golf course architects Dr. Michael Hurdzan, former president of the ASGCA, and Dana Fry, former member of the Board of Governors. As a cornerstone of the legacy of their long-time partnership, Raintree South Golf Club is truly one-of-a-kind and has earned a formidable 4.5-star rating from Golf Digest. Such an achievement was only put within reach by the considerations of co-designer John Cook, the PGA Tour professional who contributed significantly in the placement of tees, shaping of bunkers, and the course flow.
Bordered by the Little Walnut Creek and the Scioto River, the 7,071-yard Raintree South Golf Club makes ambitious use of the available fresh water, incorporating it heavily into the layout on half its holes. For example, you'll start out on No. 1, the 552-yard par-5 that is bordered on both sides by water almost from tee to green — and this opening hole behemoth is only ranked as the 5th most difficult on the course.
Luckily, the expertise of the architects and the direct, knowledgeable input from John Cook has allowed Raintree South to maintain playability for golfers of all skill levels. Though the Black tees come with a difficult course/slope rating of 73.7/131, three additional tee locations allow players to scale the challenge more to their ability.
In addition to the exception on-course experience, you'll also find a fully stocked pro shop with everything you need to feel comfortable and confident on the course. With a wide selection on top brands like Titleist, FootJoy, Ashworth and more, there's something for every taste and caliber of player.
So if you're seeking the very best in Ohio golf, look no further than this opportunity to experience the extraordinary design at the serene and beautiful Raintree South Golf Club.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ A home mortgage company that shorted Shawnee County on property tax payments by about $9.25 may end up paying it about $9,000.
County Treasurer Larry Wilson said Monday that Wells Fargo Home Mortgage has agreed to pay $9.75 for each transaction involving 925 properties. That will cover both delinquent taxes and costs the county incurred in pursuing them.
The county said Wells Fargo shorted it by 1 cent each on property tax bills for each property.
Shawnee County sent a notice to each property owner, requesting 1 cent in delinquent taxes.

2015-2016 Lecture Series Lineup:
List of 8 items.
September 16: Understanding Neuroeducation and Dispelling Neuromythology
Martha Bridge Denckla, MD
Director, Developmental Cognitive Neurology Unit
Kennedy Krieger Institute
Baltimore, MD
Neuroeducation involves advising on developmentally appropriate education, with the understanding that we are now able to document brain development and confirm our decades old developmental psychology data. There is a danger in over-promising our ability to specifically tailor education to different rates and types of brain development, akin to the over-selling of "learning types." Neuroeducation should mean that we look to optimal windows of development for certain kinds of learning.
Neuromyths are unsubstantiated beliefs, such as stereotypes of left-handers or the conviction that we can restructure the brain through exercises that address precursors of school skills. More recently, our society's awe of technology has fostered sophisticated computerized programs that perpetuate the unsubstantiated claims that if you master certain exercises, your brain can now easily learn reading, writing, and arithmetic.
October 14: A Sense of Control: Why It's Such a Big Deal for Kids with LD and ADHD
William Stixrud, PhD
Clinical Psychologist
Director, The Stixrud Group
Silver Spring, MD
A healthy sense of control is associated with virtually everything we want for our children, including good health, a positive mood, freedom from excessive anxiety, self-motivation, and both academic and career success. Children and teenagers with learning and/or attention-related difficulties face some particular challenges in developing a strong sense of control, in part because they need intervention and supports that often feel "forced" upon them. In this talk, Dr. Stixrud will discuss how parents and teachers can support the development of a healthy sense of control in students with LD and ADHD (e.g., by promoting autonomy) while maximizing kids' willingness to work hard to develop themselves and to use the help that is offered to them.
November 4: When Anxiety Affects Learning: Practical Strategies for Parents and Professionals
Jonathan Dalton, PhD
Clinical Psychologist
Director, Center for Anxiety and Behavioral Change
Rockville, MD
This presentation will focus on practical, yet counter-intuitive evidence-based skills and techniques that parents and professionals can use to help children and adolescents experience less anxiety. We are all hardwired to avoid perceived threats such as pain and fear, so it is not surprising that young people use avoidance to respond to anxiety. However, anxiety and avoidance are teammates that work together to maintain anxiety over time. Therefore, the gold standard of treatment involves the careful confrontation with fear, known as "exposure." This presentation will include what parents and professionals can do to encourage the child to "go on offense" against the anxiety and to persist in the presence of fear and anxiety. This process, if conducted in the proper fashion, is the most effective method of reducing anxiety. We will review how to use positive reinforcement and active ignoring to increase non-avoidant coping methods.
December 2: Learning to be Kind, Understand Differences and Get Along with Others: Helping our Children and Adolescents with LD/ADHD Develop These Important Skills
Judith M. Glasser, PhD
Clinical Psychologist
Silver Spring, MD
Resource Handout from Lecture
Understanding how others think and feel is a critical skill for all children to learn. It is a skill they will need and use throughout their lives. People who have the ability to understand how others are thinking and feeling can have an easier time regulating their own feelings, being kind to others, and understanding why they behave the way they do. Just like children have strengths and weaknesses, they also vary in their ability to understand how others think and feel. For some children with learning difficulties this skill is a particular challenge. This talk will present specific ideas for helping children develop these important skills.
January 6: Actions Speak: Connecting Language and Behavior at Home and at School
Jennifer Frey, PhD, BCBA-D
Assistant Professor, Special Education and Disability Studies
George Washington University
The relationship between language and behavior is a complex and often admired but not well understood phenomenon. How does this relationship develop? When students engage in challenging behaviors, what are they telling us? In this session, we will explore the relationship between the language and behavior of students in early elementary school, and begin to interpret challenging behaviors as a form of communication. We will also discuss why children might engage in challenging behaviors and how to support their communication and promote engagement in desired behaviors at home and at school.
February 10: The Science of Processing Speed: Why Some Children Struggle to Keep up, and the Impact on Learning and Attention
Lauren McGrath, PhD
Assistant Professor, School of Education
Director, L.E.a.R.N Lab, American University
Panel Members:
Doug Fagen, PhD
Director of Psychological Services, Lab School of Washington
Melissa Wood, MS, CCC-SLP
Director of Speech-Language Services, Lab School of Washington
Many of our children struggle with slow processing speed; but what does this mean, exactly? In this lecture, we will describe what is meant by the term "processing speed" and discuss its role in learning and attention problems. We will discuss strategies for supporting children with slow processing, as well as useful accommodations. In addition, we will describe a new research initiative between The Lab School and the School of Education at American University designed to better understand and help children with processing speed challenges.
March 16: What Works with Teens: Engaging Adolescents with Learning Differences to Achieve Lasting Change
Britt Rathbone, LCSW-C, CGP, BCD
Director, Rathbone and Associates
Julie B. Baron, LCSW-C
Rathbone and Associates
Bethesda, MD
If you live with, teach, coach, treat, or otherwise interact with teens, you know they can be notoriously challenging to communicate with. When adolescents are resistant to help, they may respond by being defiant, guarded, defensive, rude, or even outright hostile. In turn, you may respond by reasserting your authority—resulting in an endless power struggle. Teens with learning differences present unique challenges to parents and helping adults.
In this talk, you'll discover the core skills that research shows underlie all effective interactions with teens. You'll learn how to engage authentically with them, create an atmosphere of mutual respect, and use humor to establish a deeper connection. There are many evidence-based approaches to treating, educating and parenting adolescents, but very little information on how to establish and maintain an ongoing productive relationship that underlies the successful implementation of these programs. This presentation will offer effective ways to connect with teenagers and information and real tools for creating positive connections.
April 6: Tools for Helping Children with Executive Dysfunction Become More Independent and Effective
Lauren Kenworthy, PhD
Children's National Medical Center
Director, Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders, Division of Neuropsychology
Principal Investigator, Children's Research Institute,
Center for Neuroscience Research (CNR)
George Washington University
School of Medicine and Health Sciences
Associate Professor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Neurology,
This presentation is designed for parents, teachers and other professionals who work with children and adolescents with executive function problems. It will help you identify when a child is having trouble with executive functioning, so that you can better distinguish a "can't" from a "won't" and therefore intervene more effectively. It will present an intervention framework that includes accommodations, teaching new skills and giving you strategies that you can use today.

Why don't these voters decide? Some like to mullPublished: 10/26/12 @ 03:13
WASHINGTON (AP) — Who are these people who still can't make up their minds?
They're undecided voters like Kelly Cox, who spends his days repairing the big rigs that haul central California's walnuts, grapes, milk and more across America.
He doesn't put much faith in either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney. But he figures he's got plenty of time — a little more than a week — to settle on one of them before Nov. 6. And he definitely does plan to vote.
"I'll do some online research," said Cox, co-owner of a Delhi, Calif., truck repair shop. "I don't have time to watch presidential debates because it's a lot of garbage anyway. They're not asking the questions that the people want to hear."
About 5 percent of Americans with solid plans to vote have yet to pick their presidential candidate, according to a new AP-GfK poll. When you add in those who lean only tentatively toward their choice or won't declare a favorite, about 16 percent of likely voters look ripe for persuasion. That's about the same as a month ago.
In a super-tight race, undecided voters have taken on almost mythic stature. Their questions at the town hall-style debate are parsed. Campaign techies wade through data to find them. The president dialed up 9,000 of them for an Air Force One conference call as he flew to Los Angeles this week.
Posted by NoBS (anonymous) on October 27, 2012 at 12:26 a.m.
I can relate. I don't believe either candidate is the "best man for the job." I don't think either Obama or Romney has any business running a preschool, much less this great country. However, Ohio being one of the most purple of all the "swing states," we've been inundated with political rhetoric for far longer than a sane person would condone. I've wondered aloud to friends and associates who came up with the bright idea that phoning someone each and every day, 8 or 9 times a day, will cause them to vote for Candidate A or Candidate B. To me, it's harassment, pure and simple. It isn't campaigning. Pestering me nonstop each and every stinking day for months on end is no way to persuade me to vote for your man.
HOWEVER, despite all the attempted brainwashing, I've observed enough events over the course of the last several months, that my mind has been made up for quite some time now, as to who I'm voting for for POTUS. And we don't answer our phone any more - we let it go to the answering machine, whose outgoing message is "Until the election is over, if we don't recognize your number on Caller ID, we won't answer. If you're a non-political caller, please leave us a message, and we'll get back to you."

An area business is taking steps to help its community after an 11-year-old boy tragically died last May. Logan Aluminum of Russellville donated an automated electronic defibrillator to the Logan County Little League Association in memory of Caleb Slaton.
Slaton died after being hit in the chest by a baseball during practice knocking his heart of out of rhythm. Russellville Police will be managing the A.E.D. until the Little League Season starts. The defibrillator will stay on the field where coaches will be trained to use it.

History of Defibrillation
- 1956 - First published reports of external defibrillation.
- 1962 - Controversy over benefits of DC vs. AC defibrillation.
- 1964 - Development of synchronizing defibrillation to EKG cycle.
- 1970 - Importance of early defibrillation first published.
- 1972 - Defibrillators using solid state technology developed.
- 1986 - Firefighters with basic training begin using AED's.
CPR vs. AED
- At present, for each 100 patients that arrive in the ER in cardiac arrest and have been treated with CPR alone: 95 die, 2-3 survive a few days, and 1-2 have a chance of full recovery.
- CPR works well on patients who have a primary breathing problem.
- CPR alone doesn't work well on victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
- For each minute elapsed after collapse, there is a 10 percent decrease in the chance of successful defibrillation.
- Many 911 EMS systems can't get to the victim in less than 10 minutes.
- Early defibrillation is the key to saving a cardiac arrest victim.
- Early defibrillation can lead to total recovery and a normal life.
- After 10 minutes have passed - it's too late.
- In the US, approximately 350,000 people die each year from heart disease - many of these people collapse unexpectedly.
- Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) - collapsing unexpectedly - can happen from an electrical current in the heart "going haywire."
- Many times, these victims are not having a heart attack.
- These victims need a lifesaving pulse of electricity called "defibrillation" to restart their heart - and can go on normally.
- AED's cannot save all victims of SCA, but when an AED is successful, the result can be dramatic return to a normal life.

Packed with adventure, culture and fresh food, the trip activities are flexible enough to suit active travellers or those who prefer a slower pace. We went in monsoon season and learned to love travelling (train, tuctuc, taxi, bike, bus and boat) with heavy showers and found most things dried quickly anyway.

Few leagues are as rife with traditionalists as the Big Ten, and it has been a jarring fall for those folks. Instant replay is in effect, and neither Michigan nor Ohio State command the lead story lines at the midway point of the season.
But at least Joe Paterno is no longer having to chase officials off the field. And the league has not disbanded without maize-and-blue or scarlet-and-gray as the dominant color schemes.
The Purdue quarterback is a live candidate to deliver his school's first Heisman Trophy winner after three runner-ups (Bob Griese, Leroy Keyes and Mike Phipps). After three straight road victories, Orton has taken the 5-0 Boilermakers to No. 5 in the ESPN/USA Today poll, their highest ranking in 25 years.
And Wisconsin's 'D' looks even better than the 1998 and '99 units that helped take the Badgers to consecutive Rose Bowls. Ohio State became the first opponent to break double digits against 6-0 Wisconsin last Saturday, but still could get no higher than 13. Last time opponents scored fewer than 39 points on the Badgers through six games: 1951.
Now those two headline entities are coming together in a showdown game in West Lafayette on Saturday.
The winner of that classic offense-vs.-defense battle (Purdue is No. 3 nationally in total offense, the Badgers No. 1 in total defense) becomes the Big Ten's leading -- and perhaps only -- national championship contender. But there will be much work yet to do in the second half of the season.
Purdue has its three toughest games still ahead, but all are in Ross-Ade Stadium: Wisconsin Saturday, Michigan Oct. 23 and Ohio State Nov. 13. Wisconsin has Purdue, then gets Minnesota at home and bypasses Michigan altogether.
But watch out for both the one-loss teams skulking just off radar: Michigan, which is unbeaten in league play, and Minnesota, which narrowly missed its chance to win in the Big House. By winning percentage, Penn State is the only Big Ten team with an easier remaining schedule than the Wolverines and Gophers.
Which means there is hope yet for traditionalists. If Michigan keeps winning, the league title again could be in play when the Wolverines visit Ohio State Nov. 20.
Biggest Surprise
Nobody has shocked the world yet in the Big Ten. Indiana looked like a surprise team when it won at Oregon, but since then the Hoosiers have reverted to uninspiring form.
So the honor tepidly goes to Northwestern, if for no other reason than its upset of Ohio State. Actually, there is one other reason: The Wildcats are a place-kicking disaster against TCU away from 4-2 against a difficult schedule (18th toughest in the country to date). Quarterback Brett Basanez continues to be a handful for opposing defenses.
At the very least, Northwestern fans are getting their maximum RDA of thrills this season. Three of the Wildcats' games have gone into overtime, and four have been decided by a touchdown or less.
Biggest Disappointment
Ohio State hasn't started Big Ten play 0-2 since 1992 -- a team captained by Kirk Herbstreit -- but the Buckeyes are there now. Inconceivably, some fans in Columbus are ripping into Jim Tressel (record at OSU: 35-9, including a two-year-old national title). But grumbling happens when you lose to Northwestern and barely beat Marshall.
The running game simply isn't there for the Buckeyes, and that's a problem with Craig Krenzel no longer around to make bailout plays at quarterback. Senior tailback Lydell Ross continues to get most of the carries -- and continues to do little. It's past time to give the ball to freshman Antonio Pittman more often.
The Buckeyes have hemorrhaged talent to the NFL in recent years, and this looks like the year it catches up with them.
(Penn State is 2-4, but only a disappointment if you believe the annual wishful thinking that the Nittany Lions are coming back. The back half of the schedule is manageable, and could give JoePa a chance at a winning record and bowl bid. Then he and the university need to take a serious look at a graceful exit strategy.)
Midseason MVP
Despite throwing his first two interceptions of the season last week at Penn State, Orton has a great shot at becoming the Big Ten's fourth Heisman winner in the last 10 seasons. One out of every 10 passes is a touchdown for the senior from Iowa, who already has surpassed last year's 15 TD tosses. He's come into full command of Joe Tiller's offense, and his chemistry with Taylor Stubblefield makes those two the best pass-catch combo in the country.
Midseason Coach of the Year
Barry Alvarez has played half of Wisconsin's six games without his best offensive player, tailback Anthony Davis. In his absence the Badgers simply won with defense.
Since coming back, Davis has rolled for 213 yards against Illinois and 168 against Ohio State -- but he might not be the only offensive option anymore. In the first big showdown game of the year, aerially anemic Wisconsin found its passing game in Columbus. Jim Stocco completed 62.5 percent of his passes for 160 yards and two touchdowns -- raising the Badgers to 110th nationally in passing offense.
But that's OK with no-frills Alvarez. Give him quality linemen on offense and defense and a go-to back, and he's a threat to win the Big Ten every year.
Bowl Bound
Purdue, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio State, Iowa, Penn State.

Cramped as I was for time yesterday, cooking for the 2 of us as well as for a neighbor couple, I decided to make to main entrees & take half of each over to the neighbors, giving me & mine a chance to taste both ~ Worked out just fine, too! Did a little juggling on this one, as I left out the canned mushrooms, used 2 mild sausages & 2 sweet ones, & cut the red pepper flakes down to just 1/8 teaspoon! As for us, we loved it that way, & apparently the neighbors did, too! Will certainly be making this one again! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
My boys really enjoyed this because it was spicy! We can not eat green peppers but I diced up a roasted red pepper and I think it added to the color. I used half hot sausage and half mild sausage. I also added the shrimp in the last five minutes of cooking. Really good. Made for 1-2-3 Tag.
This is delicious!, I made it with all the ingredients stated but with some amount adjustments, not sure what the chicken livers added to the recipe it must have done something great, I used bulk spicy pork sausage meat in place of the sausage links, and increased the chili flakes to well over a tablespoons, I sent home the rest with my DS in a doggie bag so he can enjoy the leftovers although I must say there wasn't that much leftover, thank you for a wonderful recipe and one I will make again Pat!
