[EDITOR'S NOTE: Please see the end of this story for an important correction.]
When DC Comics announced that âSuperman/Batmanâ would be taking a bit of a different turn when it came to new story arcsâfilling in the blocks of time between major eventsâfans were incredibly excited, even more so when it was revealed first up at bat (no pun intended) was a follow-up to âOur Worlds at Warâ written by the Man of Action himself, Joe Casey beginning in #69. But according to Casey, he wasnât even aware that his âSuperman/Batmanâ story was meant to be an aftermath of an event he himself wrote for years ago.
"Our Worlds at War" was DC's major crossover of 2001, overseen primarily by the Superman writers of the time, which included Casey and Jeph Loeb. In it, galactic villain Imperiex, who intended to use Earth as a base from which to annihilate the universe. Aquaman, Maxima, and Wonder Woman's mother Hippolyta died in the war, though some have since returned. CBR News spoke with Casey about his inadvertent return to this conflict.
âActually, I was shocked when I saw the printed comic and that âOur Worlds at War Aftermathâ trade dress on the cover,â Casey told CBR News. âI mean, come on... was anyone clamoring for a return visit to that story? I wasn't, and I worked on the original! So, as anyone who's read the first two issues can attest to, I don't really reference it at all, other than the fact that there was a big super-war and things are being rebuilt... but, y'know, that kind of sh-- happens every day in the DCU, right? The way I wrote it, it might as well have been a bunch of Black Lanterns that tore the sh-- out of everything. It's just a simple backdrop for the real story we're telling.â
Considering this, itâs no surprise that fans donât need to be intimately familiar with the events of âOur Worlds at Warâ to enjoy the current story. (âI barely acknowledge it, if at all,â Casey said.) As previously mentioned, Casey worked on the original âOur Worlds at Warâ event back in 2001, and although part of the reason that DC is running the âaftermathâ stories is to answer any lingering questions and tie up possible loose ends, the writer admitted that there were very few of those to address. âThe thing is, as far as I'm concerned, there were no loose ends when we first wrote âOur Worlds at War,ââ he said. âFor better or worse, that story was pretty damn tight. It was like an old school Marvel epic, no story beat or character detail left unturned. Despite my rampant drug intake at the time, between editors Eddie Berganza, Tom Palmer Jr. and the writers, we were a goddamned well-oiled machine. So with this story, there was really nothing to follow up on. My poor editor was so swamped with other work, and had been struggling for months to try to make this book into something cool, something that would sell better, I think it was a case of grasping at straws to find a sales hook for a book that's clearly struggling by not being tied in to current events in the DCU. So, even in light of that, I certainly didn't write it to tie into anything... I just wrote a cool 'Superman/Batman' story that'll be able to stand on its own and left it at that.â
While Casey may be one of the only writers currently penning an in-continuity Bruce Wayne, heâs much more excited about Bruceâs successor. âHonestly, I'm nuts about what Grant [Morrison] is doing in âBatman and Robin.â It's one of my favorite superhero books right now. I love the Dick Grayson/Damian Wayne team and I kind of wish it would last a lot longer than it's probably going to.â
Caseyâs current tale does stand well on its own, but he was quick to say that there are other stories bounding in his brain involving the Caped Crusader and the Man of Tomorrow â stories that he hopes would put âSuperman/Batmanâ back on fans' radars as a top-notch book from DC. âWell, to be perfectly honest, I had other 'Superman/Batman' stories that I wanted to do, stories that I felt would really fulfill the promise of the book having to be âoutsideâ current continuity but would still get readers pumped,â he said. âSo the most exciting thing about this story was getting to the end of it so I could possibly move on to writing the next ones. This is one of those rare opportunities where you've got a top-flight book that no one is paying attention to!!! My feeling in those situations is to always push the envelope and be f---in' bold. And the fact that it's a book with Superman and Batman in it... it's almost too good to be true. But, I hear the book is changing editors so I have no idea if I'll ever get the chance to do those stories. But I'd like to.â
Despite Caseyâs eager and positive attitude to push the envelope, he made his opinion of the âaftermathâ labeling of âSuperman/Batmanâ perfectly clear. âAnyone with a brain knows that the âSuperman/Batmanâ book needs a big kick in the ass,â he said. âI never thought an âOur Worlds at Warâ tie-in was going to do it, but in this case DC editorial seemed really stoked on the idea and I was happy to do them a solid. Besides, I looked at it as an opportunity to write two classic characters that I've always loved. And, to put the final nail in this interview, this whole âAftermathâ term that certain booksâtwo that I've written for DC in the past yearâhave been saddled with as a marketing angle... let's put it on the scrap heap with âYear One,â âwidescreen,â âUltimate,â âNew (fill-in-the-blank),â âbrain trust,â âsecret (fill-in-the-blank),â âAbsolute,â ârebirth,â â(fill-in-the-blank) crisisâ and other similarly overused terms that have wormed their way into the comic book lexicon and worn out their welcome.  At the very least, replace anything with âaftermathâ in the title with a more appropriate word... like âhangover.â I hope readers check out the book despite the 'Our Worlds at War' branding. Just think of it as unfortunate cover art... it's what inside that counts.â
"Superman/Batman" #69 is in stores February 17.
UPDATE 2/6/10 11:30 AM: CBR was contacted by Joe Casey after this article went to press with a correction on the interpretation of his quotes. Mr. Casey did know that the "Superman/Batman" arc was meant to be an "Our Worlds at War" follow-up, but his main goal was to write an excellent "Superman/Batman" story. He was simply surprised by the branding used on the cover after the first issue of his âSuperman/Batmanâ story hit shelves.

Carpel tunnel (?) with newborn...serious pain, is this normal?
Sorry to hear about this. Nerve pain is the worst!
I too had pregnancy induced carpal tunnel and while I had it prior to my DS's birth it was made much worse on delivery day due to all the fluids they give you. It hurt so bad it made me cry at times and I was so disappointed when it didn't go away after birth. It took until all the excess fluid finally left my body for it to go away. I can't remember exactly how long it took, I'd say a week or so, but one morning I woke up and there was just no pain. I had tried braces, sleeping sitting up, nothing helped. I hope it's the same for you and soon you will be pain free.
for me the carpal tunnel did not go away until one year when I stopped nursing. I did notice myself tensing my wrists while nursing and holding baby so that did not help either. Sleeping with braces help. Also google carpal tunnel exercises and do those. Icing the wrist helps as well.
Exhausted mom.
N(36) DH(33) Married 9/10/04
FTM to Finnegan Rhys -5/18/12
I had carpal tunnel so severe last pregnancy that I ended up getting cortisone shots in my wrists at 31 weeks. I was wearing the braces 24/7, icing my wrists, doing exercises and acupuncture. Nothing helped and I was crying and not sleeping almost every night that it was taking a toll on my health.
As pp said, try the braces and ice first and you can always ask about the shots if those don't help. After I got the shots (they are extremely painful too) my carpal tunnel was minimized after about a week.
Hope you feel better! It's hard to explain to people how much pain carpal tunnel can cause you!!
Me and DH and DD, so happy together! ( . ) ( . ) GOLD
It's a BOY!!!!
I also have mother's thumb/wrist. It got so bad 3 years ago with my son that I had cortisone shots. Then I tried electro-stim therapy and that did the trick. You might have to go back a few times, but it beats wearing a brace, constant icing, taking "vitamin I" and possibly needing surgery! You can look up your nearest massage therapist or physical therapist. It ends being $1-2 per minute - depending on your location. Good luck. Also - ice works so well for me as long as I do it consistently.

Indonesia's Second Samurai Bond May Price at Investment Grade
Indonesia may sell its second Samurai bond at a similar yield spread to Mexico, whose debt is rated four levels higher, according to Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance Co. and Asahi Life Asset Management Co.
Southeast Asia's largest economy may be able to price 6 trillion rupiah ($672 million) of 10-year yen-denominated debt being sold next month at close to 50 basis points above the 10-year yen swap rate, the premium paid by Mexico in an Oct. 20 sale of 150 billion yen ($1.86 billion) of similar-maturity samurai bonds, the Tokyo-based fund managers said. Indonesia's government told investors it expects a spread of 55 to 60 basis, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said yesterday.
An improving economy and credit-rating upgrades are bolstering demand for Indonesian debt as near-zero interest rates in Japan fuel demand for securities offering higher yields than domestic debt. The International Monetary Fund forecast this month that economic growth will accelerate to 6 percent this year from 4.5 percent in 2009, while Japan Credit Rating Agency, Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor's have all raised their assessments of the Southeast Asian nation this year.
"Their credit rating is on an upgrading trend," said Yoshihiro Nakatani, a senior fund manager at Asahi Life Asset Management Co. in Tokyo, which has $8.5 billion of assets under management. "Even with the tight spread, Indonesia's samurai bonds are relatively very attractive for Japanese investors," he said in an interview on Oct. 21.
JBIC Guarantee
Indonesia hired Daiwa Securities Capital Markets Co. and Nomura Securities Co. to help sell the yen-denominated bonds, which are backed by the state-owned Japan Bank for International Cooperation. The JBIC also guaranteed Mexico's samurai bond offer.
Finance Minister Agus Martowardojo said Oct. 26 the government expects to receive the proceeds of the sale Nov. 12. Indonesia sold 35 billion yen of 10-year samurai bonds in July 2009 at 2.73 percent.
The rate on Japan's 10-year bonds was 0.82 percent on Oct. 6 and 7, the lowest level since June 2003, after its central bank cut its benchmark interest rate to a range of zero to 0.1 percent and pledged to buy up to $60 billion of assets to stimulate growth.
Indonesia has been selling debt on domestic and international markets this year to fund a budget deficit, which Martowardojo said may reach 1.5 percent of gross domestic product in 2010. It last tapped overseas markets with the sale of $2 billion of 10-year dollar bonds in January.
Rating Upgrades
The Japan Credit Rating Agency lifted its assessment of Indonesia to investment grade in July. Fitch Ratings raised its rating for Indonesia in January to BB+, the highest non-investment grade. Standard & Poor's upgraded Indonesia in March to BB, while Moody's Investors Service rates Indonesia Ba2. S&P and Moody's both rank Indonesia two levels below investment grade.
Mexico, Latin America's second-largest economy, is ranked Baa1 at Moody's, the third-lowest investment grade. S&P and Fitch assess the country at BBB, two notches above non-investment rank.
"With the lowest spread five basis points more than what Mexico got, demand is stronger now," said Toshiaki Takahashi, who helps manage about $300 billion at Tokyo-based Meiji Yasuda. "That means the spread may be probably set at 55 basis points. It would be very popular."
The extra yield investors demand to buy Samurai bonds instead of Japanese government debt has narrowed 68 basis points this year to 1.01 percentage points, according to Nomura, Japan's biggest brokerage. The spread reached 0.98 percentage point on Oct. 14, the lowest since November 2007.
Growth Outlook
Samurai sales, excluding private placements, amounted to 1.52 trillion yen this year through Oct. 22, compared with 1.17 trillion yen in the same period in 2009, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Overseas investors have poured money into Indonesian assets to profit as the economy improves. Foreign holdings of the nation's local-currency bonds increased 82.7 trillion rupiah ($9.3 billion) this year to 190.7 trillion as of Oct. 22, according to figures from the finance ministry. Bank Indonesia said on Oct. 5 it expects gross domestic product to increase 6 percent to 6.3 percent in 2010, and between 6 percent and 6.5 percent next year.
"The local economy is very healthy," said Tetsuo Ishihara, a senior credit analyst at Mizuho Securities Co. in Tokyo. "This is a very good investment opportunity."
Samurai bonds, named after Japan's feudal warrior class, were first issued in 1970 when the Manila-based Asian Development Bank, funded by regional governments to reduce poverty, issued the debt.

"Ljubljana, another well kept secret" Ljubljana by Dabs
Ljubljana Travel Guide: 2,096 reviews and 4,977 photos
I'm not sure why Slovenia and it's capital city of Ljubljana are not more frequently visited, perhaps tourism picks up in the summer months and we were lucky enough to see it before the hordes descend. Or maybe it's because no one knows how to pronounce it!
Ljubljana is a compact capital city, the population is around 276,000, one fifth of which are students. Everything is within walking distance, you can walk from the train or bus station to your hotel and from your hotel to any of the sights.
Slovenia was once part of Yugoslavia, it declared it's independence on June 26, 1991, had a minor 10 day war and avoided the problems of the other countries that formed Yugoslavia. Slovenia is now part of the EU, English is widely spoken and it's incredibly easy to get around and communicate.
We had 1 1/2 days to spend here, we saw everything that we wanted to see in that time, add another 1/2 day if you plan on seeing any of the museums. Ljubljana might also make a nice base if you want to do day trips to the Lake Bled/Lake Bohinj area or out to see the caves at Postjna or Skocjan but not have the hassle of moving from hotel to hotel, everything in Slovenia seems to be an easy day's drive.
- Pros:Uncrowded, lovely old town, good food
- Cons:Mid range hotel choices are a bit limited

Great page, interesting pictures. Irene
Kristi, this is a really informative page about a European city I knew so little about. Now I will have to visit someday. One to add to an ever-growing list!
Our first plan in visiting Croatia was to stop here-but too far. Good pictures and comments as always.
Kristi, this page is brilliant. You haven't missed a thing. I can't wait to get to Ljubljana now but must wait a year to do so. Thank you so much for your exquisite detail.
Wonderful conch-like shot of this staircase at Neoboticnik...wonderful pages with so much history. Too bad the rooftop deck was closed when you visited...Norman :)
Excellent web site, pictures and tips!
Another beautiful city to put on my must list to visit.

I have simulated network latency with netem and It's great. Now I want to simulate unplugged network cable or when server goes down. I need this to make testing of my application easier and I couldn't find anything on the web that would help me. My servers are virtual CentOS instances and they are on Virtualbox. I want to do this from a php web page.
I assume you mean that your network cable is unplugged. You didn't specify.
Just bring the interface down. For example, with eth0:
To bring the interface back up:
On your virtualbox console window, you should have a Machine menu pull down. Under that one there are several actions. One of which is Power off. You need to select that one for an immediate power down. This is the closest thing to yanking the power cord of a physical server.
The following is an example using interface
If you run:
And you are connecting through SSH, you will be unable to bring it up again since you have disabled your network and therefore cannot SSH to your server.
I use the following script to simulate 20 seconds of downtime:
Save it as downtime.sh, make sure the file has execute rights, and then run:

Mid-sized teams best at forest conservation
Protecting the environment demands teamwork. But what group size is the most effective? According to a study in China, mid-sized groups of people are the most successful at conserving forests.
The study took place in China's Wolong Nature Reserve, which houses one-tenth of the world's wild giant pandas. As part of a conservation program, more than 1,000 households monitored about 40,100 hectares of the reserve for illegal activities such as logging. Groups of one to 16 households were assigned to look after different sections of the forest.
Mid-sized groups of eight to nine households put the most effort per household into monitoring, the team reports in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Their forest parcels also performed the best; when overseen by a nine-household group, forest cover increased by 15.8 percent from 2001 to 2007.
Larger groups probably have more "free riders," or members who don't pull their weight, the researchers say. And smaller groups may not be able to exert enough social pressure on their members to contribute. — Roberta Kwok | 17 June 2013

Food Combination Diets
Food Combination Diets
Food combination diets such as the Zone and Fit for Life plans are based on the idea that certain combinations of food will help a person lose weight. These diets may cause weight loss, but that is because they are low in calories, not because of a combination of foods. They are very hard to follow over time because they are so restrictive.
There is no scientific evidence that particular food combinations are needed to lose weight.

Cocaine Abuse (cont.)
Follow-up should be as planned in the emergency department or as discussed when discharged from the hospital. Because any addiction involves the entire family, treatment options should be reviewed with the individual's family, and loved ones should be included in any treatment plan if at all possible. It may consist of follow-ups with a drug counselor for therapy, as well as treatment by a psychiatrist, family doctor, internist, infectious-disease specialist, obstetrician, general surgeon, and/or heart surgeon.
Since there is little medication treatment for cocaine addiction, rehabilitation, also referred to as "rehab," generally involves mental-health and social (psychosocial) approaches. Those approaches often focus of establishing a good working relationship with the cocaine addict, motivating him or her, enhancing strengths, and helping the person develop strategies for recovery, including abstaining from drug use and reducing their cravings.
Prevention of Cocaine Abuse
Prevention should start early in the preadolescent years for all children but particularly for those who are at risk. This would include children in families with a history of any addiction such as alcoholism and drug use. However simplistic the concept, teaching youngsters to say "no" to using tobacco products, alcohol, and drugs is an excellent prevention tool. If we can keep the children and our future generations from the gateway drugs of nicotine, alcohol, and marijuana, then we may be able to prevent the escalation to harder drugs such as cocaine and therefore protect people from the long-term effects of drug use.
Prognosis of Cocaine Abuse
The prognosis for minor complications of cocaine use is good if further drug use can be stopped completely. This will be a significant challenge to the addicted person and will likely require professional and support group interaction. The majority of cocaine abusers who come to the hospital for medical care will usually do well medically and are often sent home. They may be seen or referred to chemical-dependency counselors for follow-up as outpatients or inpatients.

Support paid sick daysDecember 21,2013
Support paid sick days
Im a farmer and builder in Glover, writing about the importance of paid sick days. When folks initially explained the idea to me it seemed absurd. Ive worked over 20 jobs and never had paid sick days. Yet Ive seen firsthand how important paid sick days are to workers. When I was 19 at my first farm job, I whacked myself in the head pounding tomato stakes. I left work, drove myself to the hospital and got stitches. Because I was afraid to take unpaid time off, I returned to work the next day. The concussion I had received made it impossible to work. I was not paid during my recovery, and I struggled financially while trying to recover.
Last fall I got shingles and continued to work with shingles in my eye. I wasnt able to deal with my health because I was afraid of missing work, and it got bad enough that I became completely unable to work for a few weeks.
Ive heard many stories of friends losing jobs for taking a day off for their or their childrens health. We need to see health as a collective responsibility, so that we can all live better lives. One step in that direction is Vermont passing a paid sick days law in 2014. I encourage you to join us at the Vermont State House on Jan. 7 at 10:30 a.m. in the Cedar Creek Room as we rally for paid sick days.

Reviews for Operation Love The Children Of Haiti Incorporated
1 person found this review helpful
Having visited OLTCH twice within the past year, I am even more impressed with the work that Jasmine & Greg are doing for the orphaned children of Haiti. They do so much, with so little, that it forces you to ponder what more they could accomplish given additional resources. A small group from my church visited OLTCH in Haiti just a few weeks ago. We had the privilege to be there on a Sunday and participate in worship time with the kids. What a blessing to wtiness Jasmine as she "preached" to the kids, weaving together 3 different Bible stories which emphasized that God is always with us, even when bad things are happening. It was all about being grateful, in everything, and the joyful worship reflected that them. Jasmine & Greg have an amazing story of how God has blessed, provided, protected and empowered them in their short 4-years of ministry in Haiti. Unlike some orphanages in Haiti, the kids at "Jasmine's" are healthy, happy and learning about how precious they are in the sight of God. This is a ministry worth supporting as they continue to grow. OLTCH truly does love the children of Haiti.

Visited OLTCOH in March with a missions team from our church. Jasmine runs an amazingly efficient operation in Leogane, the epicenter of the 2010 Haitian earthquake. She is a deeply faithful Christian that loves these children. Our team visited 7ministries during our recent trip to Haiti and have put Jasmine's at the top of our list of ministries with which we wish to partner. Jasmine has acquired a large parcel of land and her vision is to build an orphanage and community center "campus" on the property. From there she will help care for needy children but will also help the community find ways to become self sustaining in some of their food and water needs. Jasmine's is an amazing place and I am blessed to have been able to visit there, to meet Jasmine and her children. There is great financial need here in order to maintain the current level of care and to move on to the future and the vision Jasmine & Greg have for much bigger things in the near future. God has truly blessed the people of Leogane by placing Greg & Jasmine in this place.

A useful function to be added to the plugins page would be a field for editable/savable notes (preferrable left side oriented for easy visual), per plugin.
Example: deactivated plugin v6.4.02 - caused conflict with fontburner v.5.6.2 on 6/2/10 etc.
That way when one of the plugins updates - you can go back and try enabling the plugin that previously caused conflict and see if conflict has abated.
If not, then you can delete the least needed plugin instead of maintaining it as disabled, and eliminate visual page clutter and database overhead.

This review is from: Bedol BEWC00-24 Water Clock Wink White
Pros: It is a clock
Cons: IT USES A BATTERY
There is a piece of Zinc in these clocks, you add water, and it creates a battery. Once all of the zinc is oxidized it will not work, and will never work again.
Other Thoughts: I couldn't let them get away with it, this is NOT a hydrogen fuel cell, it is a zinc battery. It is NOT able to be recharged, as adding water will do nothing after the zinc is oxidized.
This company is a sham, and newegg is promoting them on their Flash sales?!
This review is from: eFun Touch 8 XN800 Black USB 2.0 IR Wireless Touch Pen
Pros: Could be used as a signature device.
Might be fun for children.
I felt like it was about as accurate as i expected.
It didn't seem to cause any harm to the screen given its soft brush tip.
Cons: The soft brush tip is probably the limiting factor in its accuracy.
The manual was a very poor translation.
The product came very cheaply packaged given its retail price. The box's descriptions were very... lackluster and poorly worded. If i saw this on the shelf i would not buy it, period.
The device itself is marketed as light, this is true... but it feels... cheap.
Windows 8 is designed for multiple point touch.
You can not zoom, rotate, or make complex selections.
It is difficult to use the various swipes, scrolls, and drags.
This isn't recognized as an actual pen device in windows, it uses its own calibration software that you will need to instal on each computer.
Other Thoughts: I will probably be giving this to a neighbor of mine so he can use it for clients' signatures, for which it does work.
Maybe it could be calibrated to work on say a clipboard instead of the actual laptop screen.
My biggest problem is the price tag on this thing.
It just isn't up to par, it should be aluminum at this price range.
This review is from: Seagate Desktop HDD ST4000DM000 4TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Pros: Very low price per GB
189 isn't that bad considering it is 3726 GB formatted, with tax a little more than a nickle per GB.
Solid performance.
For some reason i was expecting the larger disc to be a bit slower, but tested faster than the 1TB Hitachi in my server, as well as the 500 GB WD Blue in my main pc.
Clocking in at 130 MB/Sec using ATTO.
Mine doesn't make any real noise at all.
I mean it is the same size as any other 3.5", but c'mon, that's a lot of storage, pretty amazing.
Cons: None really.
Too much storage? Naw..
I will be using this as a backup of the laptop, the main rig, and the current file server... with room to spare.
Storage is kind of boring, this is actually about as exciting as it gets outside of SSDs. Maybe Seagate could put some color on the sticker next time?
4000GB could have been like embossed on the rear of the drive, that would cool.
Other Thoughts: Compatibility
I had no problems with getting the drive going, just installed it into the backplane of my:
Then using Computer Management in
I found that it was recognized by my motherboard
and proceeded to format it for testing.
The disc size was correct, no drivers needed.

HAVANA (April 25, 2013)--Conrado Marrero, the world's oldest living former major league baseball player, celebrated his 102nd birthday Thursday at his apartment in Havana, surrounded by family and friends.
He was given an enormous blue and white cake, and savored a glass of wine and a sip of Bucanero, Cuba's domestic beer, smiling as his family applauded and embraced him.
In addition to his longevity, the former Washington Senator has much to celebrate this year.
After a long wait, he finally received a $20,000 payout from Major League Baseball granted to old-timers who played between 1947 and 1979.

Baby-Bottle Maker to Liquidate
Environmentally friendly baby-bottle maker Green to Grow, loved by celebrity moms like Bethenny Frankel and Kelly Preston, is liquidating its business under Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection, according to court documents filed Friday.
Amid poor sales in 2011 and two straight years of net losses, the company declared liabilities of $711,886 and assets of $34,252 in its court filings. Unsecured creditors, owed $445,093, aren't expected to receive any payout once the company is liquidated.
Green to Grow sells bottles made glass and plastic that doesn't contain bisphenol A, or BPA, which the company says has been linked to neurological, developmental and reproductive problems. The California couple who founded Green to Grow in 2005 said they became concerned about the chemical leeching from the baby bottle into the formula their newborn son was drinking and founded the company to address the lack of alternatives to traditional baby bottles.
The products, sold in baby stores and online at websites like Target.com and Amazon.com, cost around $10 each depending on type, and replacement nipples are sold for about $5. The company said in court documents that it has no more finished inventory.
A lawyer representing Green to Grow declined to comment on the case Monday afternoon.

New Albany sisters share Mississippi State homecoming queen honors
Mississippi State University fans may have heard a familiar last name during the halftime ceremony this past Saturday at the school's yearly homecoming football game.
Anne Elise Parks, 21, of New Albany, was crowned the university's 2010 homecoming queen during the Bulldogs' defeat of University of Alabama-Birmingham Saturday – four years after her older sister, Sara Beth, received the same honor in 2006.
"She and I just sat there laughing and saying what a cool thing this is for us to share," Anne Elise said of the phone call she made to her sister after receiving word that she was this year's queen.
Anne Elise, a broadcast meteorology major, was nominated to the court earlier this fall by her sorority, Delta Gamma. She said that she was sitting in a car with a friend of hers outside the student union when they first heard the announcement.
"I honestly didn't think I heard it at first," she said. "But a friend told me what I heard was correct. We just sat there laughing and I was humbled by the whole thing."
Sara Beth said she felt tremendous pride for her sister.
"She was just beautiful [on Saturday]," Sara Beth Parks said. "She's had a great experience there all four years. She's gotten to be involved in several organizations and has represented them well."
Anne Elise said she received very good advice from her sister on how to handle the entire homecoming court selection process – just be yourself.
"I mostly asked her what's the best way to go through the process and not get caught up in it," Anne Elise said. "My big concern was to just be myself and just knowing that, regardless of how it turned out, this doesn't define me.
Sara Beth concurred.
"The main advice I gave her was just to be herself and show her character the whole time," she said. "I told her to just enjoy the race and just enjoy the nomination. And obviously to enjoy the day."
Anne Elise also said she was humbled by the large turnout of New Albany residents, coming to see her coronation.
"There were even some rabid Ole Miss supporters who came to cheer me on," she said. "I'm just so thankful for the support."
Anne Elise and Sara Beth are the daughters of Bill and Beth Parks of New Albany.

I advance a theoretical and empirical framework that puts time and thus the temporal dynamics of candidate evaluation front and center in order to advance our understanding of the lifespan of information effects while enhancing the external validity of our experimental approaches. With these temporal properties in mind, I designed a "panel experiment" with research conducted over 12 weeks. This represents the first experimental approach to combine control over information exposure with attention to information processing throughout the course of a multiweek campaign. Against the backdrop of partisanship, empirical tests assess the ability of transient exposure to issue and character information to produce effects that endure beyond the moment the information is encountered either via memory-based or on-line processes. Findings reveal a remarkably limited role for enduring information effects and suggest a "rapid displacement" model of information processing where new information quickly displaces the accumulated stockpile of old information.

BMI View: In line with our expectations, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) announced on May 8 revisions to the calculation of capital requirements for loans with low equity buffers, the central bank's first use of macro-prudential policies to tame credit growth. We believe the deterioration in data from key trading partners will keep the central bank from hiking interest rates despite its desire to tame the growth in housing credit. Instead, we expect the monetary authorities' use of the macro-prudential tools to increase and dampen the profitability of banks, while interest rates are set to remain at all-time lows of 2.50% until 2015.
Although house prices in New Zealand continue to linger at historically high levels, we maintain our expectations for the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) to avoid using its official cash rate to rein in the demand for mortgage credit, which grew at 4.9% year-on-year (y-o-y) in April, the highest rate since end-2008 (see, RBNZ To Maintain Rates Despite Rising Housing Market, Feb 27). Indeed, the RBNZ maintained its policy rate at 2.50%, opting instead to use the new macro-prudential tools, for which it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the government.
|Authorities Keen On Restraining House Price Growth
|New Zealand - House Price Index (LHS) & Growth, % chg y-o-y
More Regulation To Come As Financial Stability Remains A Priority
Due to come into effect from September 30, the RBNZ's newest stipulation, announced on May 8, will mean that banks will need to hold more capital against loans which are 80% or more than the value of the underlying house. Given the low level of equity buffer for these loans, a renewed economic downturn could cause increasing difficulties for mortgage owners to service their loans as house prices fall and the labour market deteriorates further. Indeed, the new regulation is likely to increase the stability of the banking system as an increasing proportion of new mortgage lending is of a higher loan-to-value (LVR) ratio, which has recently risen to 30%, versus approximately 25% in early 2012.
|As of September 30
|Source: BMI, Reserve Bank of New Zealand
|Correlation for LVR under 80%
|Correlation for LVR 80-89%
|Correlation for LVR 90% and over
Moreover, given that households are now releveraging , with household credit growing at 4.7% y-o-y, the highest pace in five years, we believe that the new LVR capital requirements is but the start of more macro-prudential policies to be implemented. We believe that the central bank is likely to tap on instruments such as sectoral capital requirements, quantitative restrictions on the share of LVR loans and countercyclical capital buffers to cool the speed of credit growth and limit the growth of higher risk lending. Implementing these tools will likely dampen the profitability of New Zealand banks as they restrain the amount of credit and increase the costs of lending. However, these measures could make the system more resilient in a downturn and would afford the monetary authority scope to restrain credit growth in areas of the economy which are economically unproductive, such as residential housing, without stifling business spending.
|Credit Growth Fastest In Mortgage Sector
|New Zealand - Total Private Sector & Housing Credit, % chg y-o-y
Growing External Risks Make Macro-Prudential Tools More Valuable
We believe that this flexibility will become increasingly valuable as growing external risks could threaten the current recovery we see in the private sector. A slowdown in Australian and Chinese economies will likely weigh on exporters and could derail recent improvements given that almost 40% of all outbound shipments are bound for these two destinations. With the plunge in Australia's services' performance index and a weak print for Chinese manufacturers' Purchasing Manager Index in May, further deterioration, we believe that New Zealand manufacturing and services sectors are likely to see a dip in activity in the quarters ahead. As such, we believe that the RBNZ will be more inclined to keep interest rates at current all-time lows of 2.50% for an extended period. We expect the central bank to maintain the official cash rate at the current rate until 2015 as the long deleveraging cycle runs its course.

Great recipe but I want to offer a little suggestion and ask for advice from others who had made this. I made this as written twice but thought the crust was too dark(an unappealing almost burned brown color) at 350 degrees using my Bravetti Platinum Pro deep fryer. So on the third try I changed it to 325 degrees...MUCH better.(same frying time 10 minutes for a very large vidalia onion) Now for the other challenge the recipe did not state how long to par-boil the onion. The first try I did six minutes but flower collapsed. The second try I cut the time in half to 3 minutes but the onion was almost raw and the petals did not coat properly except on the outside. The third try I did 5 minutes which I think is about right EXCEPT the flower collapsed again after coating due to the weight. (everything tasted wonderful but was visually unaesthetic). I THINK the problem might be resolved by NOT cutting the core all the way through to the other side and instead leave the base intact 1/2"- 3/4". Anyone here have a similar experience and would like to share their strategy? One other alteration I made on the third try was reducing the amount of buttermilk from 1 cup to 3/4 cup. It may have been the brand I was using but on the first two attempts I thought the batter was too thin. After I reduced it to 3/4 cup I thought the coating clung much better. Thanks Rita for sharing your recipe.
I used to make Bloomin' Onions when my boys were teenagers with huge appetites. They were always a hit....I never boiled the onions. Instead, I soaked them in ice water for a few hours. They 'bloomed' perfectly.
Rita this was absolutely wonderful. We had some friends up and I made this and served with steak and baked potatoe. They were really impressed. Thanks so much. I will need to make more next time.
Rating is for the onion only. Decreased the cayenne & sliced the onions into rings; mixed the wet & dry ingredients together, dipped & fried...delicious! I also didn't make the dip as we like them with hot sauce. Served with sliced garden tomatoes, corn on the cob & king crab legs. Thanks for sharing.
I'm strictly rating the sauce. I will try it again, but with more horseradish. Very nice as is, though.
i watched a video how to make a bloomin onion from a chef at the outback, first off it is put in the powdered mixture first, then the wet and only once. also it is a spanish onion not vidalia. and then, you do not boil the onion at all just spread them out, your supposed to cut the wedges a finger length apart. and lastly, dont core the onion untill after it is done cooking.
Had to comment on this one, just like Outback. I would stick with the 10 minutes vice 12 that I cooked. It came out a little too crispy, but nonetheless awesome recipe.
I was so looking forward to making a "blooming onion" at home. I followed the directions, boiled the onions so the petals spread, and coated them with milk mixure and flour mixture twice and deep fried them. But they came out with almost all of the coating on the outside and barely any on the inside; not like the ones in the restaurant that are crunchy all through. I also made the dip twice. The first time with creamy horseradish seemed too mild; when I made it again using prepared horseradish it tasted great.
Perfect! I surprised my DH with this last week. We always eat them when we go out..now we can enjoy them at home!! I have a deep fryer and that made this so simple! And boiling the onion really helped! Thanks! I will be snacking on this again! :)
This is an awesome recipe. My whole family really enjoys this. So crisp and crunchy. Thanks for posting this recipe.

Ask the School Nurse: Parents' Top 9 Questions for Back to School
Getting Your Kids Off to a Healthy School Start
Need some more basic tips on keeping kids healthy? Follow these guidelines:
Healthy lunches for kids
• Primary colors. Load up their lunchboxes with a colorful mix of fruits and vegetables to keep them energized and ready to learn. Apples, pears, berries, dried fruit, baby carrots, cauliflower, and edamame are easy to pack -- and fun to eat.
• Fluid motion. Drinking plenty of fluids helps active children stay hydrated. But not all drinks are created equal. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, kids who drink one can of soda a day increase their obesity risk by 60%. Offer water and limit soft drinks (some can pack 150 calories per 12-ounce can).
• The whole truth. Whole grains are an important part of a healthy diet for kids. Offer whole grain, low-sugar cereals at breakfast and low-sodium whole grain snack bars or crackers in their lunch box. Try making sandwiches with whole grain bread (look for "100 percent whole wheat" on labels to get the most grains).
• Dairy queen. Strengthen their bones and brains with nonfat or low-fat dairy foods, including yogurt and flavored milk (choose products with no more than 30 grams of sugar).
Exercise for children
• Class action. Don't assume your child is getting enough physical activity at school. Giving kids a chance to move and get their heart rates up before studying makes it easier for them to learn. Ask your child's teacher about having the class do jumping jacks, run in place, and other quick exercises in between classroom activities.
• Power hour. Make sure your kids run around for at least an hour each day. Don't have a full hour for exercise? Try short 15-minute bursts of running, jumping, or games that encourage these activities to keep them interested and active.
• Family affair. Busy families tend to skip physical activities together. Bond with your kids and boost the whole family's health by planning family bike rides, walks, or other exercise you can all do together.
Stress reduction for children
• Slow start. Want to help make the start of school easier -- and halt the moans and groans before they begin? Set up back-to-school routines early and ease kids into them gradually. Push back bed and wake-up times by 15 minutes each week, for example.
