Maccabiah Games Swimming Ends on a High Note -- July 15, 2005
By Seth R. Baron
NETANYA, Israel, July 14. THE final day of swimming at the 17th Maccabiah Games in Israel was fantastic with outstanding performances and a lot of enthusiasm from both the U.S. and Israeli swimmers.
The USA won six of the eight events contested Thursday, setting two Maccabiah Games records. Israel won only two events but made the most of those wins as both set Games records.
The USA team showed up to finals wearing Army green Israel Defense Forces (IDF) t-shirts and IDF baseball caps - a tribute to the Israeli athletes. Daniel Madwed won the "Best Performance of the Meet" for his 200 fly performance. Maya Finkler, from Israel, was named the top female performer for her 200 free.
The meet ended on an extremely high note for the USA Team. The women's 400 meter medley relay broke an Israel streak of relay gold medals dating to the 15th Maccabiah Games in 1997. Natanya Harper, from the USA, held off Maya Finkler on the last leg of the race to give the USA women's team a .05 victory in 4:25.82.
The U.S. men's 400 meter medley relay team of Josh Hafkin (back, 58.1), Dan Velez (breast, 1:02.62), Dan Madwed (fly, 54.17) and Bryan Goldberg (free, 50.58) finished the meet with a new Maccabiah Games record, posting a time of 3:45.47.
True to his word, Goldberg earlier had won the 200 IM in 2:04.83, breaking the previous Games record that I had set some 20 years ago. Finkler swam 26.76 to set a Games record in the 50 free while teammate Olga Beresnyev breezed to an easy win with a Games record 8:52.58 in the 800 free.
The USA's Payton Johnson won her second individual gold by taking the women's 200 IM in 2:23.14. On the men's side, the USA's Dashiell Rothberg took the 50 free in 23.60 while Max Jaben bested Shilo Ayalon of Israel to win the 1500 meters by two seconds in 15:43.06.
On Friday, members of the USA team and coaching staff went to a local hospital in Netanya to visit the victims of the recent suicide bombing, near the athlete's village in Netanya. We handed out USA swimming t-shirts, pins and other USA apparel. It was truly a moving experience.

The man trying to provide Rep. Todd Akin the softest possible landing after the congressman's foolish comments about pregnancy and rape was former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, a strong supporter of Akin during his run to represent Missouri in the U.S. Senate.
In the furor over Akin's remarks and increasing pressure for him to drop out of his race against Sen. Claire McCaskill, Huckabee used his syndicated radio program Monday to give the embattled candidate a safe venue to express remorse and his determination to remain in the race. Huckabee also took the opportunity to cast the best possible light on Akin's awkward position. The former Arkansas governor and onetime GOP presidential contender suggested a couple of cases in which he suggested that rapes, though "horrible tragedies," had produced admirable human beings.

Even the BBC took up the social media panic discourse on August 9th and reported about the power of social media to bring together not only five, but 200 people for forming a rioting "mob". Media and politicians created the impression that the riots were orchestrated by "Twitter mobs", "Facebook mobs" and "Blackberry mobs"… A few month ago we had "Twitter revolutions" and "Facebook revolutions" in Egypt and Tunisia, one now hears about "social media mobs" in the UK. So what to make of these claims?…
…Blaming technology or popular culture for violence –- the Daily Mirror blamed "the pernicious culture of hatred around rap music, which glorifies violence and loathing of authority (especially the police but including parents), exalts trashy materialism and raves about drugs" for the riots –- is an old and typical ideology that avoids engaging with the real societal causes of riots and unrest and promises easy solutions: policing, control of technology, surveillance.
It neglects the structural causes of riots and how violence is built into contemporary societies. Focusing on technology (as cause of or solution for riots) is the ideological search for control, simplicity and predictability in a situation of high complexity, unpredictability and uncertainty. It is also an expression of fear. It projects society's guilt and shame into objects. Explanations are not sought in complex social relations, but in the fetishism of things.
Via the BBC:
The major social networks have been called to the home office next Thursday to discuss the English riots.
So far only Facebook has confirmed its attendance, although Blackberry has suggested it will also be there.
Facebook, Twitter and Blackberry have all been criticised after it emerged that some rioters may have used them to plan trouble or encourage others.
David Cameron has said the government would look at limiting access to such services during any future disorder.
If riot info and fear is spreading by Facebook and Twitter, shut them off for an hour or two, then restore. World won't implode.
Tory MP Louise Mensch, The Telegraph. UK riots: teenager charged with BlackBerry incitement.
Yesterday we noted an article from GigaOm that England is considering shutting down social networks in order to disrupt and ultimately halt "unrest".
But social networks weren't the only platforms considered. The government was hoping to get help from Research in Motion in order to target those using its Blackberry Messenger Service.
Done. Today, an 18-year-old was accused of intentionally encouraging "the commission of an offense under [England's] Serious Crime Act 2007" by sending messages via her phone.
Yesterday a 27-year-old man was arrested for doing the same.
This comes days after RIM promised England's authorities that it would help "in any way we can".
Police already have powers to access stored data and monitor social networks in real time under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act, and the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act. Nevertheless, in his speech to Parliament yesterday, David Cameron said new powers were under consideration.
Via Matthew Ingram, GigaOm:
It seems totalitarian states like Egypt and Libya aren't the only ones struggling with the impact of social media and the desire to muzzle services like Twitter and Facebook. In the wake of the riots in London, the British government says it's considering shutting down access to social networks — as well as Research In Motion's BlackBerry messenger service — and is asking the companies involved to help. Prime Minister David Cameron said not only is his government considering banning individuals from social media if they are suspected of causing disorder, but it has asked Twitter and other providers to take down posts that are contributing to "unrest."
The British PM also said he has asked the police whether they need any new powers to stop the violence, including the ability to shut down social networks or communications services if they believe these tools are being used to incite unrest.

Lloyds plunges to £3.5bn loss for 2011
This article was written by Jill Treanor, for The Guardian on Friday 24th February 2012 08.56 UTC
Lloyds Banking Group has painted a subdued outlook for the UK economy as the bailed-out bank revealed it had plunged to a £3.5bn loss in 2011 and would pay out £375m in bonuses.
The chief executive, António Horta-Osório, said the prolonged low interest rate environment would mean some key targets would not be met on time, but the bank would benefit from a faster than expected reduction in impairment charges during 2012.
Some 30,000 jobs have already gone as a result of the rescue takeover of HBOS in September 2008 and Horta-Osório earmarked a further 15,000 reductions when he took over a year ago. But the bank stressed that a further £200m of cost savings for 2014 would not result in further redundancies, with 3,700 of the 15,000 roles already removed.
Horta-Osório returned to work last month after a two-month absence brought on when he could not sleep for five days in October.
At 35.6p the shares were among the biggest fallers in the FTSE 100, down 2.4%. The drop has left the taxpayer with a £10bn loss on the 41% stake in the bank amid concerns about its forecasts this year for profitability, measured by so-called net interest margin.
Horta-Osório's predecessor, Eric Daniels, bowed out last February claiming a £2.2bn profit for 2010, on what was his preferred "combined" measure of the business that was intended to strip out the costs of the takeover. The 2011 loss of £3.5bn compares with a profit of £281m a year ago, while on Daniels' measure the profits were up 21% at £2.7bn.
The loss on a statutory basis had been expected. At the interims Lloyds reported a £3.3bn loss when the £3.2bn provision for payment protection insurance (PPI) knocked performance.
Daniels is now having 40% of his £1.45m bonus for 2010 clawed back because of the impact of the PPI provision. Tim Tookey, the finance director, is losing 25%. He leaves the bank on Friday without any start date yet arranged for his successor, George Culmer, who is quitting insurer RSA in May.
Tookey said he "completely respected" the decision of the Lloyds remuneration committee to reduce his 2010 bonus, while Horta-Osório said his previous employer, Santander, which also took a hit for PPI mis-selling during his tenure, had not notified him of any intention to claw back bonuses he may have received.
As owner of the country's largest lender, Halifax, Lloyds expects house prices to remain "broadly flat" for the next two years and the economy "uncertain". It expects further weakness in 2012 and "fairly modest" growth in the second half. GDP will be "broadly flat" for the year as a whole, with base remaining at 0.5% into 2013 and unemployment rising and then peaking at 9% next year.
The targets for return on equity – to achieve up to 14.5% – will be delayed beyond 2014 and income will be lower this year than last. However, the bank will deliver its balance sheet, cost and impairment targets in 2014, and in some cases sooner.
The £375m bonus pool is down 30% on a year ago and the executives are taking an average 50% cut to their bonuses. The average bonus across the 100,000 workforce stands at £3,900.
The performance conditions for the three-year long-term incentive plan will have targets such as customer performance added to them on top of conventional shareholder return targets.
Three years on from the rescue takeover of HBOS, the bank has achieved its target to save £2bn a year – which suggests that integration bonuses put in place at the time of the deal will pay out.
While the European commission restriction on paying dividends, put in place at the time of the taxpayer bailout, has now been lifted, the bank admitted it was unclear when it might be able to start doing so.
The bank also revealed the FSA enforcement investigation into the corporate division of Bank of Scotland was ongoing. It could lead to fines and reprimands.

No injuries were reported in in a train derailment Friday just south of Main Street in Imperial near Interstate 55.
However, the situation could have taken a very different turn had accident occurred on the tracks that cross Main Street, said Ron Harder, a spokesman for the Rock Community Fire Protection District.
"We dodged a bullet because if those cars would have gone off the track at Main Street, it would have taken out Herrell's Market and Jefferson County Lumber and anyone else in the area," he said.
Around 2 p.m., eight tanker cars left the tracks just south of Main Street off Interstate 55, Harder said. Two of the cars, which were empty, had contained hazardous materials - potassium hydroxide and ethylene glycol.
Because the car carrying potassium hydroxide had a leak, 19 homes on Churchhill Court were evacuated as a precaution, Harder said. The residents were allowed to return to their homes around 5 p.m Friday.
HAZMAT teams from the Burlington North Santa Fe Railroad and staff from the fire district assisted with cleanup of the site.
The incident caused a short power outage in the area, affecting homes and businesses in Imperial and Arnold. Main Street was closed until late Friday.
The cause of the derailment is still under investigation.

The Bills come in to the Metrodome on Sunday with nothing to lose and a whole lot of confidence.
Even Stevie Johnson. You know, the poor receiver who dropped that ball in the endzone on Sunday? (Along with, no joke, about five other passes in the game.)
This is a different team from the one that was getting hammered as recently as October. Ever since the bye week, the Bills have been reborn. I realize that sounds a bit ridiculous for a 2-9 team, but it's true. Check out their past six games:
Those four losses are to teams that are a combined 18 games over .500. The Bills had about 13 chances to win the game Sunday, including Johnson's drop. This is a well-run team that is hypercompetitive. Snooze and you will lose to these guys.
Here's why. Short on talent, long on heart, the Bills don't beat themselves, at least not lately. They are 10th in penalty-yardage differential and have been on the plus side of the ledger in terms of turnovers the past six games. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick is prone to some boneheaded throws, but the Vikings have made only nine interceptions on the season. RB Fred Jackson has been on a mission lately, running for 308 yards and three TDs and catching 14 passes for 154 yards and two TDs the past three games.
The epitome of their effort was summed up beautifully in the effort from NT Kyle Williams, who was an absolute madman, leading the way in an assault of Ben Roethlisberger. They knocked him around all day, and he suffered a foot injury. Are you listening, Brett Favre? How strange would it be if the Bills delivered a knockout blow to Favre on Sunday? Not that weird if you have watched this team hustle and scratch and claw the last month and a half.
If the Bills have a clear weakness, it's the run defense. So the status of Adrian Peterson clearly is crucial. If his ankle sprain won't allow him to play, it's a big loss. Nothing against Toby Gerhart, who played well in relief on Sunday, but Peterson most certainly would have 150-yard (or more) potential in any normal circumstances. Even during this strong run of theirs, the Bills have allowed Jamaal Charles to run for 177 yards, Cedric Benson for 124 and Rashard Mendenhall for 151.
There are finally some good vibes around the Vikings. Leslie Frazier has calmed things down. He has the team focused on finishing strong. There's less infighting, less drama. Frazier, unlike his predecessor, is well-liked, for whatever it's worth. Sunday's road win was a nice first step back toward respectability.
So it's imperative the Vikings capitalize on this positive direction. They might not have much to play for at this point outside of pride, but if they need any reminder of how that is to be done, all they need do is look at the opposite sideline. The Bills are putting on a clinic in pride.

text: School bells start ringing for the new year Karissa Minn Email Facebook Twitter Posted: Monday, August 26, 2013 1:56 p.m. UPDATED: Tuesday, August 27, 2013 1:25 a.m. Tweet E-Mail Print JON C. LAKEY / SALISBURY POSTMessiah Robinson, right, joins her fellow classmates in Lyndsay Tomlinson's fifth-grade class in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of school Monday, the first day of classes for the Rowan-Salisbury School System. SALISBURY — Salisbury High School students were looking up on the first day of school. They crowded around lists posted in the hallways Monday morning, peering over classmates' heads to see their homeroom assignments for the coming year. As they left their school buses and cars and walked in the door, some students ran to their friends with enthusiastic yells and hugs. Others, still sleepy from the change in their schedules, greeted their teachers and classmates with a nod and a smile. Sophomore Londreika Davis was in the more energetic group. "I'm very excited to see all my friends and have new learning experiences," said the sophomore. Nicholas Greene, a senior, has shown up for every day of high school so far. But his backpack didn't make it today. Greene said he accidentally walked out the door without it to start his senior year. "I'm kind of getting back into things still," he said, sheepishly. "It should be fun." He said he's looking forward to playing soccer and running cross country as the school year gets underway. Less exciting, Greene said, is waking up early to get to school by 7:30 a.m. every weekday. Simeon Caldwell, a freshman, said he's excited about starting school at Salisbury High. "I think it's going to be fun," Caldwell said. "I've been here most of the summer, and the people are nice." He said he has already taken part in a tutoring program, as well as sports and band camp. The only thing he's nervous about, Caldwell said, is finding his way around the school and remembering where to go. As students came back to the Rowan-Salisbury School System, some new teachers experienced the first day of school for the first time. Lyndsay Tomlinson is just starting out as a fifth-grade teacher at Isenberg Elementary School. She has taught preschool before, but Monday was her first time leading a public school classroom. Tomlinson said she's excited, but also a little sad. This is the only time she has missed the first day of school for her own two children, who are 6 and 8 years old, she said. "I just love kids, and seeing that light bulb go off when they learn something," Tomlinson said. "I love watching them grow and flourish." In addition to adjusting to the change herself, Tomlinson said it will be a challenge getting the students used to her and her expectations. "There are so many different things they are expected to know," she said. "I want to get them to learn as much as they can and get them ready for middle school." To start the day, her students decorated brown paper bags with crayons, colored pencils and markers. She told them that their first homework assignment was to fill the bags with items that represent them. The children then sat on the floor in front of a bulletin board with a sign marked, "Rules." Instead of telling them what her classroom rules are, Tomlinson asked her students what they think the rules should be. "Raise your hand to talk," "Respect others" and "Keep your hands and feet to yourself" were some of their answers. Messiah Robinson, a student in Tomlinson's class, said she felt good on the first day of school. Her classmate, Dylan Perez, went a step further. "I feel great," he said. "I like going to school and making As." Coincidentally, both Dylan and Messiah said their favorite subject was math and their least favorite was social studies. "Even though some stuff might be hard," Dylan said, "I'm going to keep learning new stuff and get good grades." Messiah said she had fun over the summer going on vacation, having sleepovers, watching TV and playing outside. But she's ready for the new school year. "I know some people in my class," she said, "and I'm going to have fun with them." Contact reporter Karissa Minn at 704-797-4222.

About a year ago, our team was eating cookies in South Korea with Leonard and Esther Kim.
We were there to capture their story, and were invited to their spring business meeting. Leonard and Esther had challenged attendees in advance to make cookies for those standing in long lines, which were used to raise money for children in Korea and around the world.
More than 25,000 cookies were donated and sold that day, raising $30,000.
This year, the cookies were not sold, but instead donated directly to the Korean Red Cross, with 13,200 bags, each containing two cookies, provided with love for children. Using Amway Queen cookware and Amway Nutrilite ingredients, they made chocolate cookies (children's favorite), walnut cookies (good for brain development) and blueberry cookies (good for the eyes).
At the same event, the World Wide Charity for Children, funded and managed by Amway Business Owners in Korea, contributed 100 million won to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Amway One by One Campaign for Children, with half going to the Korean Red Cross and half going to the Korean Organ Donor Program.
This video tells the story of Leonard and Esther Kim, and the many inspiring Amway Business Owners in Korea working hard to help children reach their potential:

Unfortunately, this type of storage device stores data on memory chips rather than on magnetic media such as a hard drive or tape. This can present some challenges when it comes to recovering from data loss or corruption. Data is typically not "erased" from magnetic storage media unless it was purposely cleansed using a specialized utility; this makes it retrievable using software products or a data recovery service provider. However, when it comes to solid state media (memory chips), data could potentially be "flushed" from memory. Not to say that this is necessarily the issue with your particular device, but you probably should consult the vendor's support center to determine what your options are.

Morgan DeLay never seemed to stop moving.
The Turlock striker weaved in and out of the Golden Valley defense, working both sidelines and stretching the pitch when the opportunity allowed.
It made her a tough mark, and the Golden Valley defense was seldom up to the task.
In a game that the defending Central California Conference champs had to have to keep their title hopes alive, DeLay delivered.
With just enough movement off the ball and some deft passing, the junior carved up the Cougars with five assists in a 5-0 victory at Veterans Stadium.
The Bulldogs' win threw the league title hunt wide open again, trimming the Cougars' points lead to two with three games to play. Pitman is four points back and Atwater is five.
"We had a lot of momentum coming into this game," Bulldogs coach Cathy Schali-Lopez said. "We knew it was a game we needed to win and we're hungry to prove that we're still the top team in the conference.
"This is how we know we're capable of playing. Now we have to keep it going for the last few games."
Golden Valley (12-6-2, 8-4 CCC) had the opportunity to take control of the CCC race, but never looked likely to do it.
The Cougars took the field with little energy and the Bulldogs (7-4-1 CCC) took full advantage, pinning GV in its own end.
Utilizing fluid movement and passing, Turlock fired the first seven shots in the game. It finally cashed one in on an Aubrey Glidden one-timer in the 22nd minute.
DeLay feathered a cross into Glidden at the near post. The senior volleyed the ball with her left foot, beating goalkeeper Mariah Hermosillo (seven saves) to the near post.
Despite the Bulldogs' dominance in possession and shots on goal, the score was 1-0 at the intermission.
Turlock quickly erased any hope of a comeback, however, breaking the game open with a pair of goals in the opening minutes of the second half.
A failed Golden Valley clearance gave Isabel Sousa space at the top left corner of the Cougar 18-yard box. She fired to the near post to make it 2-0.
Glidden scored her second goal of the game just four minutes later, heading home a DeLay corner kick.
"That was really a killer," GV coach Lee Shaw said. "A 1-0 game, lots of things can happen, but two goals in the first five minutes of the second half is really difficult to overcome. You keep playing hard and you hope, but that's a big hole to get out of.
"I thought this was our worst game of the season. We made mistakes we just haven't made and Turlock played well.
"The only good thing about today was the score allowed us to rest some players that were banged up in the second half."
Golden Valley's offense seldom found free space to challenge goalkeeper Vanessa Orozco (five saves) and the Bulldogs tacked on goals in the 49th and 65th minutes to finish the Cougars off.
"The play of the defense was huge," Schali-Lopez said. "(Sara Callister) is the most dangerous player in the league and we really didn't allow her much today."

MANKATO — George Mocol suspected something was up when he saw a man he didn't recognize lingering in an alley outside his North Broad Street neighborhood grocery Wednesday night.
It was about 9:15 p.m. and colder than a penguin's patooty. So Mocol wondered why the guy would be hanging around — until the man bolted toward him, jumped him and tried to steal his money bag.
"I fought him off," Mocol said. "I punched him a couple times, but it was more of a wrestling match than anything. He kept grabbing for my bag and I kept pushing him away."
Eventually Mocol's brothers, Greg and Tom, and a store employee came outside to help. At that point another man the Mocols recognized as a customer, 18-year-old Shaquille Deandre McNair of Mankato, stepped out and "pretended to be a mediator," George Mocol said.
McNair was arrested and brought to jail early Thursday morning because investigators suspect he was involved in the robbery. The other man, who police suspect was 22-year-old Gilbert Paul Neal of Chicago, ran away.
Neal, who also goes by the name Chaynce (pronounced "Chance"), has been staying with acquaintances he knows in Mankato for awhile. Officers thought they had found him Thursday so investigators waited until Friday to release information about the robbery, said Det. Cmdr. Matt DuRose of the Mankato Department of Public Safety.
"He knows people from Chicago now living in the Mankato area," DuRose said. "He's aware that we're looking for him."
DuRose described Neal as being black with an average build and about 6 feet tall. It's possible he has left the area, but he does have several local acquaintances. DuRose reminded them that they could face criminal charges if Neal is caught with them.
After George Mocol put up a fight, the man who jumped him claimed to have a gun, but no gun was found and Mocol said he never saw a gun.
At one point Mocol did think the man had the bag, so he chased the guy a few blocks before he got away. Police found the bag, one of the guy's shoes and a cellphone when they searched the area outside the store, Mocol said. The handles had been ripped off the bag, but nothing was missing.
There have been other incidents at the neighborhood store that is kept busy by regular customers who stop in for everything from frozen chicken wings to a can of powdered cocoa to a pack of smokes and a candy bar. But George Mocol said this is the first time he has been jumped by a would-be robber.
"We've never had much of a problem," he said. "Like I told the police, if you're around long enough, stuff just happens."
McNair remains in the Blue Earth County Jail. He and Neal have been charged with second-degree aggravated robbery.

Cognitive Diversity: Teach kids everything we can
If we only surround ourselves with things familiar, we won't know much. If we only surround ourselves with things that make us happy, eventually that happiness will diminish because we will not know the opposite–hardship and sorrow. If we only surround ourselves with people, places and events we are comfortable with, we won't know many people and the diversity of our life experiences will be fairly nonexistent. In a word, life will be "dull."
To put it another way, author André Gide once wrote: "One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time."
The point? Many parents are afraid to "let go" of their kids, afraid to allow them to experience new things without the parental "safety net" for fear they may encounter disappointment, hurt, frustration, sorrow. Not all new experiences are negative, yet experiencing difficulties is part of life, teaching us how to deal with hurdles that eventually come everyone's way.
Encourage kids to continuously try new things of every kind, to step outside the comfort zone to learn more, experience more, and ultimately grow. This includes exposure to all kinds of wonderful books, such as those mentioned below.
Don't limit kids to a life trapped in a glass house. Do everything in your power to provide children with the tools they will need to successfully navigate their way through life. They are counting on you.
The Boy Who Swam with Piranhas
by David Almond, illustrated by Oliver Jeffers, Candlewick, 244 pages
Young Stanley Potts had a bit of a rough start. His parents had passed away, but Stan had come to love his auntie Annie and his uncle Ernie, with whom he lived. One day, however, Uncle Ernie went totally bonkers, canning fish in their house. He set up a factory and had Stan helping him almost 24/7. The day Ernie went too far with it all, Stan knew what he had to do–he left.
Stan soon took a job with a traveling carnival, first as a helper to Dostoyevsky and his plastic floating "Hook-a-Duck" stall, then as the "next in line" to legendary Pancho Pirelli–the man who swam with piranhas. Stan trained hard, yet what he needed most was to believe in himself.
An incredibly creative, intelligent blending of humor, snippets of wisdom peppered throughout, and multiple layers of Stan and other characters finding their place in the world where there are "hearts . . . that are good and true," this selection is first-rate all the way.

House of Secrets
by Chris Columbus & Ned Vizzini, illustrated by Greg Call, Balzer & Bray, 490 pages
Siblings Brendan, Eleanor and Cordelia have had their lives turned upside down when their father lost his lucrative job and the family is forced to downsize their life and relocate to an inexpensive home. The family chooses an old Victorian home that is ridiculously cheap (considering how beautiful it is). That should have been the first clue that something was amiss.
After a near-deadly encounter with a ghoulish, evil neighbor, the siblings find themselves separated from their parents and mysteriously transported to another time and place; a primeval forest ripe with bloodthirsty warriors, the terrifying Wind Witch, secret spell scrolls written in Latin, pirates, lies, treachery, and more. And at the root of it all is the Wind Witch's insatiable desire to possess The Book of Doom and Desire, a book so powerful that, if in the wrong hands, will destroy the world.
You might think that the 490 page count is too lofty an undertaking. On the contrary. House of Secrets is extraordinarily fast-paced, bursting with fantasy, high adventure, and countless twists and turns that will have readers/listeners hanging on every word of every page, from start to finish.

The Lucy Variations
by Sara Zarr, Little Brown, 307 pages
Sixteen-year-old Lucy Beck-Moreau had had a life many would envy. She had been a heavily promoted concert pianist, playing in venues around the world and competing and winning for years. That was in the years leading up to age fourteen when certain circumstances and the pressure made her decide to quit just before a very important performance.
Her mother and grandfather were furious. Now, Lucy's younger pianist brother, Gus, is in the limelight and is expected to follow in Lucy's previous footpath. When Gus gets a new piano teacher, he not only is an excellent teacher for Gus but gently tries to interest Lucy into playing again, but this time just for her; the way she wants to play.
Strong believable characters, situations, and plot line are meticulously executed. A beautiful exploration of finding one's identity and discovering joy in the everyday beauty of life, "The Lucy Variations" excels.

I Represent Sean Rosen
by Jeff Baron, Greenwillow, 345 pages
Sean Rosen has a great idea and he is going to act on it. When he does, it is certain to bring him enormous success, fame, and truckloads of money. He wants a deal with a huge Hollywood Studio. At the moment he doesn't know anyone in Hollywood, but through diligence and hard work, he feels certain that will all change.

Hilarious at every turn, this choice is a genuine page-turning winner.

Prisoner B-3087
by Alan Gratz, Scholastic, 260 pages
Yanek stated it plainly: "If I had known what the next six years of my life were going to be like, I would have eaten more . . .played more . . . hugged my parents and told them I loved them." At the time Yanek Gruener was a ten-year-old Jewish boy in 1930s Poland. The Nazis had closed in and cracked down on the Jews. In three short years, Yanek's parents and everyone he loved had been deported to concentration camps and were likely dead, while Yanek evaded capture. At thirteen, he was all alone.
The Nazis finally caught Yanek. He suffered ten different concentration camps where he and the others were worked beyond a description of cruel, were starved and tortured. Surviving didn't guarantee life; some were killed for sport. Even in his darkest hours when Yanek thought it impossible to take one more step, live one more minute, his uncle's words sustained him: ". . . we have only one purpose now: survive. Survive at all costs, Yanek. We cannot let these monsters tear us from the pages of the world."
Based on the true story of Ruth and Jack Gruener, this flawless, gripping novel is at once astonishing, harrowing, and ultimately a story of profound courage and hope; one that should be required reading.

This is Severe Weather Awareness Week in Georgia, and students will be practicing their emergency drill Wednesday.
March, April, and May are considered prime months for tornadoes to strike in South Georgia.
Georgia Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine urges Georgians to use this week to prepare for weather related hazards like tornadoes, floods, even hurricanes. Oxendine said "we've already had a couple this year. You need to be prepared when it starts getting the hot and cold weather this spring, is when they really pop up."
Standard homeowner's insurance will not cover damage from flooding. You must buy a separate flood policy through the National Flood Insurance Program.
Oxendine says you can minimize the financial hardship caused by storms, by making sure your insurance policy information is up to date.

By now you may have seen the Mercedes Benz Super Bowl commercial, which is titled "Kate Upton Washes the All-New Mercedes-Benz CLA in Slow Motion." It is the kind of thing you can watch over and over again, so here you go:
But that is not the only Kate Upton news — nope, people are realizing (like, at least a year late) that Kate is the kind of super-hot girl the public will love more than hate. This is rarer than you might think for super-hot girls. We're aproaching the year anniversary of this asinine statement from Victoria's Secret bigwig Sophia Neophitou. From the New York Times:
"We would never use" Ms. Upton for a Victoria's Secret show, Ms. Neophitou said by telephone last week from London. And, while Ms. Upton has, in fact, modeled on occasion for the company's catalog, her look, said Ms. Neophitou, is "too obvious" to be featured in what has become the most widely viewed runway show in the world.
"She's like a Page 3 girl," Ms. Neophitou said, referring to the scantily clad voluptuous women featured in The Sun, a London tabloid. "She's like a footballer's wife, with the too-blond hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy."
Well, Ms. Neophitou can shove it. And Kate has been proving that with all sorts of Vogue modeling in addition to the super cheesecake stuff she does for GQ, Beach Bunny Swimwear, and of course the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. This week, in addition to the super-cheesecakey Mercedes commercial, Kate debuted as the model for Sam Edelman shoes. That's right — shoes. This gig does not require gratuitous burger-munching, or bra-busting, or any of the physical gifts that landed her the primo spot in Sports Illustrated. An Oscar-winning actress could model shoes. A flat-chested girl could model shoes. Shoe modeling does not require thong underwear.
We know Kate won't quit the super-cheesecakey stuff, and we're glad someone in the snooty world of fashion advertising gets her appeal better than that crazy Victoria's Secret lady.
She has the hottest Super Bowl commercial and a contract to model fancy shoes. She is the Shoe-per Bowl winner. Get it? "Shoeper Bowl"? Sometimes we really…
Disappoint ourselves. Sorry. Apologies to our high school English teacher. Mr. Smith, you had such high hopes. Here's Kate Upton for Sam Edelman shoes:

California Speeding Toward Wall of Debt
A cursory glance at Governor Jerry Brown's new budget could make you believe that California's days of fiscal gloom are over as he champions a balanced budget and newfound "fiscal restraint."
California had been floating in debt. Then Brown persuaded voters in November to increase sales and income taxes. Now he releases a budget that, as Brown said at a news conference last week, advances a progressive agenda but does so based on available dollars.
Is California on to something? Is Brown's formula -- a combination of government idealism, tax increases and tough- minded budget choices -- the answer for the nation, as well?

Weatherford Democrat
By SALLY SEXTON
Parents and guardians with students in Weatherford ISD might have gotten plenty of glimpses of the district's new website format after checking for school closings and delays over weather conditions within the last week.
Weatherford ISD unveiled its new site Nov. 26, offering users a "simple, yet stylish" format, according to WISD director of public information Derik Moore.
A website committee of seven individuals viewed a variety of other district and college websites to get an idea for what they wanted.
"The reason for redesigning was a little bit of everything," Moore said. "Each year, there are more and more advances in technology that allow you to reach out to parents, student and faculty. We wanted to keep our information on our site easy to navigate and we went for a four-click minimum for each user.
"On our old website format, it was pretty hard to navigate. Some links wouldn't work properly and some would take you to other websites."
The result of the new site, provided by Edlio, is more-appealing pages, with the trademark kangaroo logo and blue and white colors present throughout, as well as more distinguished menu items for easier navigation.
"From a campus standpoint, our old campus pages weren't really visually appealing but now, it's all kind of integrated," Moore said.
Staff members for each campus are listed on the school's respective website, with a photo and contact information for each member.
"If you click on that staff member's page, there is a button to subscribe. By doing that, you will receive a notification between 5-6 p.m. anytime that teacher updates an item, adds a calendar item or posts an assignment to her page," Moore said.
Another beneficial resource is a more comprehensive calendar, where users can select events from one or more specific campuses or the district as a whole.
"This was extremely helpful during our recent inclement weather period," Moore said.
One other perk of the new site is that the district is no longer the host provider, meaning site information is stored on Edlio servers as opposed to the district's.
"That frees up a lot of bandwidth and allows us to have less issues," Moore said.

The owner of Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants is putting more workers on part-time status in a test aimed at limiting costs from President Barack Obama's health care law.
Darden Restaurants Inc. declined to give details but said the test is only in four markets across the country. The move entails boosting the number of workers on part-time status, meaning they work less than 30 hours a week.
Under the new health care law, companies with 50 or more workers could be hit with fines if they do not provide basic coverage for full-time workers and their dependents. Starting Jan. 1, 2014, those penalties and requirements could significantly boost labor costs for some companies, particularly in low-wage industries such as retail and hospitality, where most jobs don't come with health benefits.
Darden, which operates more than 2,000 restaurants in the U.S. and Canada, employs about 180,000 people. The company says about 75 percent of its employees are currently part-timers.
Bob McAdam, who heads government affairs and community relations for Darden, said the company is still learning from the tests, which was first reported by the Orlando Sentinel.
"We're not at a point where we have results," he said. McAdam also noted that Darden is not alone in looking at ways to keep labor costs in check, with companies across the industry prepping for the new regulations to take effect.
In fact, Paul Keckley, executive director of the Deloitte Center for Health Statistics, noted that follow-up legislation might be needed to ensure that companies do not shift more workers to part-time status to avoid providing coverage.
"There's not a company in those industries that aren't looking at this," Keckley said.
This summer, for example, McDonald's Corp. Chief Financial Officer Peter Bensen noted in a conference call with investors that the hamburger chain was looking at the many factors that will impact health care costs, including its number of full-time employees.
Nationally, 60 percent of companies offer health benefits, but the figure varies depending on the size of the company. Nearly all companies with 200 or more workers offer benefits, compared with 48 percent for companies with 3-9 workers, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Even beyond health care costs, however, Darden has made cutting labor costs a priority in recent years as sales growth has stalled at its flagship chains. In the most recent fiscal quarter, the company's restaurant labor costs were 31 percent of sales. That's down from 33 percent three years ago.
The reduction was driven by several factors. Given the challenging job market, Darden has been able to offer lower pay rates to new hires, as well as cut bonuses for general managers as sales have stagnated. Servers at Red Lobster now handle four tables at a time, instead of three.
And last year, the company also put workers on a "tip sharing" program, meaning waiters and waitresses share their tips with other employees such as busboys and bartenders. That allows Darden to pay more workers a far lower "tip credit wage" of $2.13, rather than the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour.
Starting next year, the company will change the way it offers health insurance to full-time employees, to keep costs more predictable. Instead of offering one insurance plan for all 45,000 employees, it will give workers a contribution toward buying coverage and then send them to an online health insurance exchange where they can chose from five medical, four dental and three vision plans.
More employers are looking at this concept, known as defined contribution health insurance, as a way to stabilize health insurance costs.
Darden said it decided to do it because a survey indicated that employees wanted more options.

Fluid loss can occur from common conditions, such as diarrhea or vomiting. Infants and young children with vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased or no fluid intake can rapidly lose a significant amount of fluid. Fever speeds up this process.DehydrationDehydration occurs when your body does not have as much water and fluids as it should.

The skin is held for a few seconds then released.Skin with normal turgor snaps rapidly back to its normal position. Skin with decreased turgor remains elevated and returns slowly to its normal position.Decreased skin turgor is a late sign in dehydration. It occurs with moderate to severe dehydration. Fluid loss of 5% of the body weight is considered mild dehydration, 10% is moderate, and 15% or more is severe dehydration.Note: Edema (a buildup of fluid in the tissues that causes swelling) causes the skin to be extremely difficult to pinch up.EdemaSwelling is the enlargement of organs, skin, or other body parts.

This does not have to do with fluids, but is a change in the elastic properties of the skin tissue. Home Care A quick check of skin turgor by pinching the skin over the back of the hand, on the abdomen, or over the front of the chest under the collarbone is a good way to check for dehydration at home.Mild dehydration will cause the skin to be slightly slow in its return to normal. To rehydrate, drink more fluids -- particularly water.If turgor is severe, indicating moderate or severe dehydration, see your health care provider immediately. When to Contact a Medical Professional Poor skin turgor occurs with vomiting, diarrhea, or fever. During a check of skin turgor the skin is very slow to return to normal, or the skin "tents" up. This can indicate dehydration that is severe enough to require immediate treatment. You have reduced skin turgor and are unable to increase your intake of fluids (for example, because of vomiting). What to Expect at Your Office Visit The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history, including:How long have you had symptoms? What other symptoms came before the change in skin turgor (vomiting, diarrhea, others)? What have you done to try to treat the condition? Did it make it better? Is it getting worse? What other symptoms do you have (such as dry lips, decreased urine output, and decreased tearing)?Decreased urine outputDecreased urine output means that you produce less urine than normal.

Great recipe, quick and easy to make. My husband loves it. Alterations that I made include, I used HOT sausages, an extra pepper and a can of diced tomato. It is also good with a dash of hot sauce for extra flavor.
This was delicious! I was actually surprised at how good it was since it was extremely easy to make. I did make some changes though. I didn't have any worcestershire sauce so I just added some salt and italian seasoning. Also, I would cook the sausage a little bit before attempting to cut it, that way it doesn't fall apart. I used canned corn and feel it didn't add much to the recipe so if you don't have any corn I wouldn't worry. I also used 2 green peppers for the 19 oz of sausage, I just feel like it needed more. I agree with the other reviewer, the amount of rice could be scaled down, I made two cups and it was plenty. Great recipe and besides the rice it only take half an hour. Made enough for five.
Excellent quick dish. I used mild italian sausage, peeled the casings and cut into 1 inch pieces & sliced red, yellow & green peppers. #cups of rice is a little much, so you may want to tweak thatdown a bit.

We have already been twice to Zazen in two years time and it's really a wonderful place ! Straight away we all were enchanted !! We have never had such a service before! Everything is perfect ! Starting from the staff to the Spa, the restaurant, the pool, the beach, the lounge bar! Everything takes you to paradise ! We never resolved ourselves to go somewhere else. The bungalows are furnished with very good taste and give a very cosy and luxurous atmosphere. This kind of bungalow is just right for couples or for a family! Our two boys (9 and 3 ) were very happy ! The food was absolutely divine in a very romantic restaurant. Once again each detail has it's place ! Zazen has a very large menu ( and lots of choice for children )! We have never tasted such lovely food! We could relax at the Lounge Bar , nice music, very cozy and trendy touch ! The billiard had a lot of success, and being served with great cocktails in the pool was magic ! The staff took care of our boys while my husband and I could have a moment to ourselves in the magnificent Spa Massage! We could not believe how zen it was for us! We have discovered a HYMN TO REFINEMENT! In conclusion ZAZEN IS A BEAUTIFUL COSY AND TRENDY BOUTIQUE RESORT! We can't wait to go back and we are counting the days !!

An X-band Phased-array Radar MMIC Chip Set
Mimix Broadband Inc., Houston, TX
Radio detection and ranging or RADAR has been around since its first implementation in the early 1900s when the use of radio waves was first used to detect the presence of ships in dense fog. The actual acronym was not coined until the early 1940s. X-band radar, in particular, has been around since the outset of World War II and continues to see extensive use. Typical X-band radar applications include air traffic control, detection of precipitation, speeding traffic and military use. Military uses include detecting and tracking aircraft, ships, missiles and other objects with the intention of harming any of our armed forces protecting our country and its interests. Various types of radar include continuous wave (CW), dual-pole, phased array, pulsed, single-pole and synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Many of the advanced X-band radars used today are typically based on active phased arrays requiring the use of many multiple phase array element sections.
