Happy Birthday Andrea!!!
Today, we CELEBRATED Andrea's 29th Birthday (again)! We got to relive Andrea's Top 29 Greatest Hits, including Lady Gag Gag! Then we brought out The Wheel of Spank, which landed on strap on- lucky Kevin! The Birthday girl even gave her famous wub wub to one of our listeners.
Have you ever duped or been duped, Manti Te'o style? College football star Manti Te'o says he was the victim of a cruel hoax, an elaborate scheme in which he fell for an imaginary girlfriend named Lennay Kekua and mourned her when she died of leukemia. click here for the full story.
We kicked off the Power Hour with a new sexy model, Erika, as she spun The Wheel of Spank for Andrea. Then Mr. Skin joined us to celebrate Andrea's Birthday with a sexy tribute! Going back to some of her first films we saw the same rockin' body of Andrea Lowell.

The Playboy Morning Show
Wednesday 1/16/13
Are you a "same-sider"? Today we learned that people who sit on the same side of the table when they're at a restaurant, rather than across from one another, make those around them feel awkward. Andrea says she's a proud same-sider who likes to get close to her companions! For the record, her companions don't complain…and others would love the chance to dine with her!
We introduced our new segment, Beauty or the Beast Tweet! (Yes, we finally settled on a name.) We read tweets, you decide if they were written by a Playmate, or a beastly-looking celebrity. Who knew Gary Busey was just as sentimental as Miss May 2009, Crystal McCahill.
It was a thrill to welcome Dog Behaviorist, Cesar Millan, to the Mini Mansion! Junior & Alfie, members of his PACK, also joined us. Cesar has a new show on Nat Geo WILD called "Leader of the Pack," which airs Saturdays at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT.

Alaska National Guard: Better Understanding Their Sacrifice
by Jason Forrester Veterans For America, Thu Oct 02, 2008 at 08:11:27 AM EDT
National Guard units struggle nationwide, but the post-deployment challenges facing the Alaska National Guard are more daunting and widespread than any other I've seen as a Director of Veterans for America's National Guard Program.
As we have done in more than 12 other states, members of Veterans for America's National Guard Program recently completed an assessment of the needs of the Alaska National Guard, culminating with a week-long trip to Alaska, visiting a cross-section of the state to assess the needs of the Alaska National Guard. Despite the dedicated and relentless work many in Alaska, VFA's findings indicate that the post-deployment needs of Alaska National Guard members and their families remain largely unmet.
The greatest challenge facing Alaska National Guard members is access to care. Guard members living in urban centers like Anchorage and Juneau have limited access to Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare and Tricare (i.e., Department of Defense-sponsored military health care). When Guard members are deployed, their families are forced to switch to a very limited Tricare network, and often lose their health care.
The bigger challenge is that over one-quarter of Alaska Guard members live in rural areas, more than 60 miles from the nearest VA clinic or facility, and many live in such remote areas that their families do not have access to providers during deployment. For Guard members living in remote towns, it can cost over $1,500 to travel to Anchorage for appointments. Vets have to fork over this money up front, and then get paid back by the VA. And if they are late for their appointment because of the challenges of travel in Alaska they often have to reschedule their appointment for days, if not weeks, later.
What happens to the families when Guard soldiers deploy? Food hardships are not uncommon, as food is incredibly expensive in the remote villages in Alaska; for instance, in these communities milk costs $10 for a half gallon and fuel costs even more. VFA was told that the Food Bank of Alaska in Anchorage has seen an increase of 400% in the military families relying on their services.
Deployments also cause difficulties in unique Alaskan ways: in a many remote towns, every able-bodied male of the community plays an integral role in hunting to fill freezers with game. When they're gone, there are fewer people to provide for the family. In addition, many of the industries in Alaska are seasonal. Deployments during the work season cause citizen Soldiers to lose their jobs and return home unemployed.
The Alaska National Guard was deployed to war without the programs and systems in place to care adequately for them when they returned. Another 140 aviators from the Alaska Army Guard are set to mobilize in a few months. VFA believes that we must not continue to deploy the Alaska National Guard until we are adequately care for them and their families.
Caring for our National Guard can no longer be an afterthought in our country.

SALISBURY, Md.- Several residents of the Parkwood Apartments complex in Salisbury were evacuated from their homes late Sunday night due to a Hazmat situation.
At around 11 p.m., fire crews equipped with Hazmat gear responded to the complex on Beaglin Park Drive. Maryland State Police were also on the scene.
Residents were allowed to reenter their homes around 2 a.m., but not before standing out in the cold for several hours. People living in the building that was evacuated say they were caught by surprise.
"I was taking a shower and all of a sudden all the power went out," said apartment resident Wanda Gravenor. " So I grabbed a robe, stuck my head out in the hallway and a firefighter asked me to evacuate the building."
Police said they are waiting on crews from Baltimore to arrive so they can enter an apartment at the complex, where they expect to find a meth lab. No arrests have been made yet, according to police.

Astral EncountersReturn to Crosswinds Keep By Darrin Drader
Heroes of Crosswinds Keep, Part 2
Syussa Broar
Syussa Broar is a half-elf with a muscular but thin build. He has dark hair and a well-trimmed beard, and he keeps numerous outfits and always dresses well. Despite the fact that he is a rogue, he is often the one called upon to entertain the more socially conscious visitors to the keep.
Syussa fell in with the Stalwart Lions in Waterdeep while on the run from a bounty hunter from Cormyr, who was attempting to collect on the 2,000 gp that was on Syussa's head for pillaging a wealthy home in Arabel. Ultimately, after evading the hunter for several months, his pursuer decided to seek easier marks. At that point Syussa decided to stay with his new companions.
Syussa Broar: Male half-elf rogue 12; CR 12; Medium humanoid; HD 12d6+12; hp 54; Init +6; Spd 30 ft.; AC 21, touch 15, flat-footed 21; Base Atk +9; Grp +11; Atk +16/+11 melee (1d6+3/19-20, +1 short sword) or +16/+11 ranged (1d6+1/x3, +1 shortbow); Full Atk +16/+11 melee (1d6+3/19-20, +1 short sword) or +16/+11 ranged (1d6+1/x3, +1 shortbow); SA sneak attack +6d6; SQ evasion, half-elf traits, improved evasion, improved uncanny dodge, low-light vision, trap sense +4, trapfinding, uncanny dodge; AL NG; SV Fort +5, Ref +14, Will +5; Str 14, Dex 22, Con 12, Int 11, Wis 13, Cha 14. Height 5 ft., 3 in.; weight 120 lb.
Skills and Feats: Balance +9, Bluff +9, Climb +12, Diplomacy +8, Disable Device +16, Gather Information +12, Intimidate +4, Listen +14, Move Silently +13, Open Lock +23, Search +13, Sense Motive +6, Sleight of Hand +17, Spot +15, Use Rope +11; Blind-Fight, Dodge, Mobility, Spring Attack, Weapon Finesse.
Evasion (Ex): If exposed to any effect that normally allows a character to attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage, Syussa takes no damage with a successful saving throw.
Half-Elf Traits: Syussa is immune to magic sleep spells and effects, and he has elven blood (for all effects related to race, he is considered an elf). Syussa also has a +2 racial bonus on saves against enchantment spells or effects and a +1 racial bonus on Listen, Spot, and Search checks and a +2 racial bonus on Diplomacy and Gather Information checks (already figured into the statistics given above).
Improved Evasion (Ex): If exposed to any effect that normally allows a character to attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage, Syussa takes no damage with a successful saving throw and takes only half damage on a failed saving throw. If helpless, he does not gain the benefit of improved evasion.
Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Syussa can no longer be flanked, since he can react to opponents on opposite sides of him as easily as he can react to a single attacker. This defense denies rogues the ability to use flank attacks to sneak attack him. The exception to this defense is that a 16th-level or higher rogue can flank Syussa (and thus sneak attack him).
Trap Sense (Ex): Syussa has a +4 bonus on Reflex saves to avoid traps and a +4 dodge bonus to AC against attacks by traps.
Trapfinding: Syussa can use the Search skill to find traps with Search DCs higher than 20.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Syussa can react to danger before his senses would normally allow him to even be aware of it. He retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) regardless of being caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. (He still loses any Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized.)
Possessions: +3 studded leather armor, +1 short sword, +1 shortbow, gloves of Dexterity +4, traveler's outfit, masterwork thieves' tools.
Elthure Vildenof
Elthure Vildenof appears to be a human in his late fifties, though he is much older than that. He has a gray beard that comes to the middle of his chest, and he wears spectacles. He knows that numerous magical fixes would make spectacles unnecessary, but he believes that they give him a more distinguished appearance.
A wizard and a scholar, Elthure Vildenof originally hails from Thay. He was once on the path to becoming a Red Wizard, but then turned his back on his order and suffered the inevitable assassination attempts that followed. It wasn't until the Stalwart Lions left Faerûn that his former order decided to stop harassing him, which is an event that he was grateful for since he could once again turn his attention to the pursuit of knowledge.
Elthure Vildenof: Male human wizard 16; CR 16; Medium humanoid; HD 16d4+32; hp 72; Init +1; Spd 30 ft.; AC 16, touch 16, flat-footed 15; Base Atk +8; Grp +7; Atk +12 melee (1d4+4/19-20, +5 dagger); Full Atk +12/+7 melee (1d4+4/19-20, +5 dagger); AL NG; SV Fort +7, Ref +6, Will +11; Str 8, Dex 13, Con 14, Int 20, Wis 12, Cha 15.

Bringing the Parts Together
If the party has interesting tales to tell, it is likely that they will capture the attention of Syussa, who will listen and share his own tales of adventure. Elthure is a good individual to approach should they need information. If he can't recall the knowledge that they seek, he can often times find it in his massive libraries.

War Commander Cheats Game Information
War Commander may be the latest strategy-combat game in the Backyard Monsters developer. Players take the role of the army commander responsible for building up a bottom with special structures that produce various kinds of army units. These units can end up being organized into attack causes led against other players' bases or ordered to protect the player's base from attacks both as the player is online or even offline Like Kixeye's Battle Pirates, War Commanderallows players to pick and control individual models and and batches associated with units during combat rather than letting the game's artificial intelligence figure out how units should behave within fights. War Commander, however, does not currently possess real-time combat enabled – even though this feature is planned for future years
Gameplay progression happens across both player degree, which can be elevated by completing structures as well as destroying other players' angles, and by individual framework levels, which are restricted because they build materials and the amount of the player's central Commander Middle structure. The primary resources within the game used to construct structures and create fight units are metal as well as oil, both of which need two different structures to gather: a production unit along with a storage unit. To power the production units as well as base defenses like weapons, the player must construct power plants that output a set amount of energy with respect to the building's level. Combat against other players plus some non-playable character factions can net the ball player additional metal and essential oil, although there are diminishing returns within the amount a player will get for attacking a lower-level participant
In which the game stands out through Kixeye's other titles as well as comparable titles from additional combat and strategy game developers is within the aggressive, male-oriented design of the overall game. The non-playable computer AI character is really a sexed-up female that moans suggestively once the player clicks certain reactions to her in conversation segments. Defeated enemy units fall into bloody heaps about the battlefield and remain presently there until cleared by flocks associated with crows that eat the actual corpses. Specific enemy units have items of voiced dialogue that perform whenever selected, ranging from bland ("Light 'em upward! " – Rocket Launchers) in order to familiar Marine phrases ("This is actually my rifle, this is my gun…" – Large Gunners), to racially charged claims of extremely questionable flavor ("Allahu Ackbar! " – Suicide Bombers)
As attention-grabbing since the design of War Commander is, it's the actual long-term development plans which will add value to both game and the RTS style on Facebook. The key to this genre's success appears to be in retention and the actual high price players are prepared to pay in Facebook Credit for protection from bullies. Along with synchronous play for any true real-time experience, Kixeye is also including a tournaments system that allows massively multiplayer combat in between players. All of these improvements are planned for the longer term, according to what the actual developer tells us. Just recently, a new feature was put into the game that allows players to manage individual unit behavior for once the player's base is attacked as the player if offline (at the. g. instructing Flamethrowers to maintain their ground and Skyrocket Launchers to pursue just about all attacking units, etc. )#)
Social features are limited to a speak function, gifting resources between buddies, and attacking both buddies and strangers in participant versus player combat. An alliance feature launching using the tournament and synchronous play enables players to band collectively for larger-scale combat procedures.
War Commanderis monetized with the sale of resource bundles to accelerate development and repair associated with structures and units. Both can also end up being instantly upgraded or repaired for any higher sum of Credit.

COCA has 275 citations for 'on' and 157 for 'in', so both are common.

People seem to use both "in" and "on" with words like chart, graph, picture.
So is there any difference between the prepositions?
Does it matter if I say something like "you will notice in the chart" or "you will notice on the chart"?
What do you think?
COCA has 275 citations for 'on' and 157 for 'in', so both are common.
Please do not edit your question after it has received a response. Such editing can make the response hard for others to understand.
In a popular Business English coursebook (upper-intermediate level), you have to choose the correct preposition in this sentence:
You will notice on / in / by this chart how big our market share has become.
(without context)
The key says that the correct answer is on.
But in my opinion, and 5jj's opinion, this is wrong.

Overview of th Federal Perkins Loan:Perkins Loans are typically viewed as the best type of student loan one can receive. Unlike the Stafford and PLUS loans, they are reserved for students who demonstrate an "exceptional financial need."
While the Federal Perkins Loans have lower overall limits than the other Federal loan programs, the other terms of the Perkins Loan (interest rate, grace period, fees, and repayment options) are the most generous.
Federal Perkins Loan Borrowing Limits:The maximum Perkins Loan amount a student can receive in any year is determined by whether they're an undergraduate or graduate student.
For undergraduate students, there is a $4,000 per year cap on Perkins Loans. There is also an undergraduate cumulative limit of $20,000.
For graduate students, there is a $6,000 per year cap on Perkins Loans. There is also a graduate and undergraduate combined cumulative limit of $40,000.
For example, a student who had borrowed $15,000 as an undergraduate student would be limited to borrowing another $25,000 as a graduate student.
Interest Rates and Fees for Federal Perkins Loans:The current interest rate on all Perkins Loans is 5.00%. With the exception of an upcoming dip in the Stafford Loan interest rates (2010-2012 school years only), the Perkins Loan has the cheapest interest rate of any Federal student loan program.
All Perkins Loans are subsidized loans. This means that the interest is paid by the government until graduation, for any student enrolled at least half-time.
There are no loan or origination fees for a Perkins Loan.
Repaying Federal Perkins Loans:Following graduation, students are given a 9-month grace period from making payments. After this time, Perkins Loans must be repaid within a maximum of 10 years. The minimum payment on a Perkins Loan is $40 per month.
Perkins Loans may be "forgiven" in return for certain types of public service. The most notable of these, the National Defense Education Act, forgives a percentage of a Perkins Loan for each year spent teaching at a qualifying public school.
Applying for a Federal Perkins Loan:To be considered for a Perkins Loan, you must demonstrate an exceptional financial need on your FAFSA form. Completing this form will help determine your eligibility for various Stafford Loan programs as well.
Once completed, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form is forwarded to your school, which will then inform you of your Perkins Loan eligibility.

Marchers Protest the Construction of a Border Fence
By Marco Grajeda
Las Cruces, NM – This weekend, a four-day-march protesting the construction of a new portion of border fence came to a close in Sunland Park, New Mexico. The protestors, which included members from a number of organizations, began their trek last Thursday in Fort Hancock, Texas. The rally dubbed The March for Peace and Unity was organized to protest the Federal Government's plans to construct 100-miles of border fencing and vehicle barriers in West Texas and New Mexico. KRWG's Marco Grajeda was at their final stop in Sunland Park, New Mexico and has this audio postcard.

If you read the Pharma Reform blog, you'll know that its author, Mike Wokasch, often writes that for drug companies to be successful in developing new products in the future, they will need to work cross functionally to generate a comprehensive understanding of disease (e.g., pathophysiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology).
In this post, he poses a couple of questions around why pharma isn't way more successful than academics or biotechs at discovering new drugs despite a big advantage in R&D spending. One mitigating effect, is that even though Big Pharma says it spent $68 M last year on R&D, only about 30% went to new discovery and preclinical activities -- so the absolute spend is misleading in that context.
Secondly, he postulates -- effectively -- that Big Pharma has a lot more distractions for its scientists. They are bothered much more by organizational expectations, bureaucracy, and time pressures to deliver compounds rather than understanding the science. And -- to top it off -- when they are successful, top scientists tend to get promoted to other projects, administrative duties, or increased management responsibilities that removes (mitigates) their expertise to focus on the day to day work of discovery research.
Do you think that is true? Do academics get to apply their expertise, time, and a passionate focus for a comprehensive understanding of the science behind their work to a higher degree than those scientists at Big Pharma?

Heparin Aftermath: FDA Told More Foreign Inspections Needed
Safety of drugs made overseas had been questioned; now, 81 Americans are dead.
The safety of the U.S. drug supply came into question again this week amid allegations by the Food and Drug Administration that contaminated shipments of the blood thinner heparin have been linked to 81 deaths in the United States since January 2007 and many more injuries here and in 10 other countries.
The Chinese government and drug manufacturing firms placed the blame on processing facilities in the United States, but lawmakers called on the FDA to account for the lapses. FDA Commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach appeared before a congressional panel this morning to explain what his agency is doing to ensure the safety and security of the growing number of drugs produced overseas. Although FDA representatives yesterday assured the public that U.S. stocks of heparin now appear to be contaminant free, the lawmakers chastised the agency for not doing enough to thoroughly inspect imported drugs. Some of the legislators advocate an overhaul of the inspection system, including more inspections of overseas facilities.
Fraudulent, shoddy, and contaminated medications manufactured in developing countries have been recognized as a growing threat to worldwide pharmaceutical supplies. The heparin incident, however, may be the first documented case in which a contaminated, foreign-produced drug has actually killed Americans.

July 31, 2014
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - Friends of a woman shot Friday night say they saw her talking to her ex-boyfriend moments before he shot her. They say they didn't know anything was wrong until they heard gunshots.
"She was telling him 'No, we're done, we're through.'" said Isaac Williams. "He reached to grab her, she pushed his hand away and said 'Don't touch me.'"
Williams says that's when Wendell Dixon began firing at the woman. He says she ran for the door but didn't make it and was shot four times times.
"She's laying there and he's walking up to her and boom, boom, boom, and then went out the door," Williams said.
Friends say the victim had taken out an emergency protective order against Dixon after their relationship ended. Dixon drove away after the shooting. Police say he took his vehicle to a relatives house handing them his keys and walking away. They are still searching for him.
"It could have happened anywhere, it was a case to me of this young man was after her," Williams said.
Despite the crowd at the time no one else was seriously injured. A man by the door was grazed by a bullet.
Williams says his daughter was at the hospital Saturday morning visiting the victim. She was in critical condition when she was taken to the hospital Friday night but Williams says she has since stabilized and is responding to treatment.
Police say so far their plan is to charge Dixon with two counts of assault, one for the woman he shot the other for the man who was grazed. But they say this investigation is ongoing and there could be additional charges.

Tagged: Robin Hood Tax
A Eurozone breakup could cost the world's poorest countries $30 billion in lost trade and foreign investment, international agency Oxfam has warned ahead of the G20 leaders meeting in Mexico to discuss the state of the global economy.
European leaders meeting today to discuss ways of boosting economic growth should press ahead with plans for a financial transaction tax (FTT), Oxfam said.
From East Africa to Japan, from Ivory Coast to Pakistan, the year 2011 has been marked by tragic disasters and crises, which seriously hit the most vulnerable people. Oxfam has responded to these crises, with both emergency and long-term programs, and launched a new global campaign, GROW.
What should have been a watershed G20 summit for shared global prosperity fell short of its potential – but some of the strongest ideas, especially the Robin Hood Tax, did overcome the opposition of some countries.
At the 2011 G20 Summit in Cannes, Bill Nighy joined Oxfam and others from around the world to urge leaders there to back a financial transaction (a.k.a. Robin Hood) tax.
Aid from rich nations is likely to fall by at least $9.5 billion by the end of 2012 – the biggest drop in aid for 15 years, according to new calculations by international agency Oxfam ahead of this week's G20 Summit (Nov 3-4).
"Food, funds, inequality" issues will test G20 leaders' ability to transform the global economy. The 2011 G20 Summit could be a watershed for global stability and prosperity if leaders rise above a narrow vision of self-interest and act decisively for the world's poorest citizens.

Staff Report
Meg Luce finished with college-bests of five goals and seven points to power the Hartwick women's lacrosse team to its first win of the season, 14-11, over visiting Marywood University on Friday at Wright Stadium.
Hartwick (1-1), which led for all but the first 2 minutes, 46 seconds, held five-goal leads on three separate occasions. The Pacers pulled within one goal twice, including a 12-11 deficit after Kathy DiGiacomo scored with 4:55 left.
Kate O'Shea and Jackie Moynihan scored in the final 4:11 to secure the victory for Hartwick, which sent non-conference foe Marywood to an 0-2 start this season.
Moynihan finished with two goals and two assists for the Hawks, who received two goals apiece from O'Shea and Lisa Littleton.
Kim Commisso scored five times and had an assist to lead Marywood.
Steph Luce made five saves in goal for the Hawks, who will visit Oneonta State for a non-conference game at 4 p.m. Tuesday.
Six qualify for NCAAs
Six Hartwick athletes have been selected to compete at the NCAA Division III Championships, which run March 20-23 in Shenandoah, Texas.
Jade Woodend will represent Hartwick's women as she will compete in the 50-yard freestyle, the 100 free and the 200 free.
At the UNYSCSA/Empire 8 Championships last week, Woodend finished with Hartwick-record times of 23.61 in the 50 free, 51.51 in the 100 free and 1:52.49 in the 200 free. She is seeded seventh in the 50 free, 13th in the 100 free, and 21st in the 200 free.

Tonawanda News — I'm a fan of education.
I suppose that's a given. After all, is anyone really a fan of ignorance? (Wait. Don't answer that.) But I've always enjoyed the process of education itself. I loved elementary and (to a lesser extent) high school. I'd be the perpetual college student if that was possible, happily taking class after class in language, literature, history — just about anything, really. Heck, just let me take various non-college classes in the arts, etc., and I'll be a happy woman. I hope to someday have the time for that.
I learned a lot in the classroom, both in my earlier years (I recently stunned my 5-year-old by singing him a song I'd learned in kindergarten) and college (St. Bonaventure, '97). It would be a betrayal of the dozens of excellent teachers from whom I've learned over the years to deny that. And I don't want to downplay their role.
But when I look back, the places where I learned the most, the places that prepared me the best for what it would really be like to walk out the classroom door and into a working newsroom, weren't classrooms. They were my college newspaper and the internship I served during that time.
In college, we actually did Associated Press style drills, quizzes designed to impress those basic rules of journalism into our writing and make them second nature. But in the old BV newsroom on the bottom floor of the Reilly Center, I learned to read copy (and write copy) with an eye for those rules while distracted, exhausted and all-too-cognizant of looming deadlines.
Now that? That makes an impression.
I wrote stories for class. But those stories were due by such-and-such a date, or maybe the next class if things were tight. At the paper, I had evenings where I'd go flying out the door hours before deadline with a notepad and pen in hand because the freshman slated to write the week's centerpiece had been too under the weather to finish the story.

Heading back to school after the lazy days of summer can pose a
challenge to kids who are not quite ready to hit the books

To the Editor:
Cumberland Times-News
Based on recent estimates that Allegany County is home to slightly more than 74,000 people, more than one out of every five of our citizens will be affected by cuts in the food stamp program.
That's 15,260 people in 7,707 households, a staggering number, considering the economic condition of our county.
Food stamp benefits are being cut because provisions of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, an economic stimulus plan, have expired.
If you are asking, "What recovery? What economic stimulus?" we don't blame you. Not much of either one has been experienced in these parts.
If anything, all it did was make it a little bit easier for those who are impoverished to survive. Furthermore, any economic stimulus that the stimulus plan produced is likely to be negated by the cuts.
Our area has several food banks and pantries that help the needy, and they are now having to confront the thought of an already insurmountable problem becoming even worse. The demand on their resources will certainly expand.
The Western Maryland Food Bank will hold its annual Bags of Plenty food drive beginning Nov. 13. It will distribute bags for people to fill with unperishable food and return to the food bank or other sites. For more information, call 301-722-2797.
Hunger is a terrible thing, particularly in a nation as rich as ours.
If there is a food bank or pantry where you live, and you are in a position to help it, please do so.

The Oyster Bar Grille on Circuit Avenue in Oak Bluffs will reopen this evening.
The deadline for applying to the Edgartown "buy-down' program is 5 pm, February 18.
The Martha's Vineyard Regional High School (MVRHS) school committee meeting began on a high note Monday, with a "student spotlight" that recognized not just one but a group of students who recently won top honors in the Boston Globe Scholastic Art Awards.
Whether 'tis nobler to serve pizza on china or paper plates, that was the question Tuesday, as Tisbury selectmen reviewed the town's beer and wine license regulations.
Back Alley's, closed since November 2009, is expected to reopen this summer.
Edgartown selectmen agreed Monday to ask the Martha's Vineyard Land Bank once again to contribute to the purchase of a small park on Main Street.
Corey Randolph, a licensed wastewater plant operator and former Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head (Aquinnah) employee, has accused the tribe of improper handling of hazardous chemicals and dumping, on tribal lands .
The Vineyard fifth grade and seventh grade girls' travel teams won their opening round playoff games at the Bourne Middle School, Sunday.
Once again we owe our wonderful Tisbury Fire Department a debt of gratitude.
When you design, finance, and build a $40 million hospital, you might reasonably expect that the consequences of that effort will be the ones you intended.

WEDNESDAY, Aug. 21 (HealthDay News) -- Your feet may be less unique and evolved than once thought: A new study suggests that the mechanisms of human feet have much in common with those of great apes.
Current understanding of the evolution of human feet dates back to research from the 1930s. It concluded that people's feet work quite differently from those of their primate "cousins," due to the arches in the mid-region of human feet and the presumed rigidity of their outside edge.
But that theory was tripped up by U.K. researchers who analyzed more than 25,000 steps made by people on a pressure-sensitive treadmill. They found that human feet still have a surprising amount of flexibility, similar to that in the feet of great apes such as chimpanzees and orangutans.
"It has long been assumed that because we possess lateral and medial arches in our feet -- the lateral one supposedly being rigid and supported in bone -- that our feet differ markedly to those of our nearest relatives, whose mid-foot is fully flexible and makes regular ground contact," Robin Crompton, of the Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease at the University of Liverpool, said in a university news release.
"This supposed 'uniqueness,' however, has never been quantitatively tested," he said. "We found that the range of pressures exerted under the human mid-foot, and thus the internal mechanisms that drive them, were highly variable, so much so that they actually overlapped with those made by the great apes."
The researchers added that it was previously believed that it was mostly people with diabetes or arthritis whose mid-foot region makes contact with the ground. Both conditions can affect the structure of the foot.
But the results from the pressure-sensitive treadmill showed that two-thirds of healthy people produced some footfalls where the mid-foot touched the surface, something that seems to be a part of normal healthy walking, the researchers said.
The study appeared Aug. 20 in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
"Our ancestors probably first developed flexibility in their feet when they were primarily tree-dwelling, and moving on bendy branches, but as time passed and we became more and more ground-dwelling animals, some new features evolved to enable us to move quickly on the ground," Dr. Karl Bates, also with the Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease, said in the news release.
"We hypothesize that despite becoming nearly exclusively ground dwelling, we have retained flexibility in the feet to allow us to cope effectively with the differences in hard and soft ground surfaces which we encounter in long distance walking and running. The next part of our study will be testing this theory, which could offer a reason why humans can outrun a horse, for example, over long distances on irregular terrain."

So I just got the RM6900 system from Polk and connected it to my Denon AVR-1700 Receiver.
What is the best way to hook-up the subwoofer to get the best clear bass?
My Denon has Left Right Pre-Out and a subwoofer pre-out. I connected both to the Denon.
However, the Polk manual recommends connecting the left right speakers to the sub then connecting the sub's left/right to the Denon.
What should I do? What is everyone's recommendation?

The Verona School District was named one of of 34 New Jersey School districts and 539 schools across the nation and Canada to the Third Annual District Honor Roll.
The award, presented by the College Board, is given to schools for simultaneously increasing access to Advanced Placement courses while also increasing the percentage of students earning scores of 3 or higher on AP Exams.
"Achieving both of these goals is the ideal scenario for a district's AP program because it indicates that the district is successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are likely to benefit most from rigorous AP course work," the Verona School District said in a written statement.
According to the district, Verona had increased the number of AP students by 69 percent since 2010. They have also seen an increase in the number of students earning AP Exam scores of three or higher by 35.
90 percent of colleges and universities offer college credit for a score of three or above, saving students and families thousands in college tuition, the district said.
"This is a tremendous honor for the Verona Schools it validates a big part of the overall mission of the district and the changes that were put in place a few years ago," said Verona Superintendent Steve Forte. "To be included on a short list of 34 districts in NJ and 354 in the USA and Canada is amazing."
AP District Honor Roll is based on three years of AP data, from 2010 to 2012. Districts must:
Increase participation/access to AP by at least 4 percent in large districts, at least 6 percent in medium districts and at least 11 percent in small districts;
Ensure that the percentage of African American, Hispanic/Latino and American Indian/Alaska Native students taking AP Exams did not decrease by more than 5 percent for large and medium districts or by more than 10 percent for small districts;
Improve performance levels when comparing the percentage of students in 2012 scoring a 3 or higher to those in 2010, unless the district has already attained a performance level in which more than 70 percent of the AP students are scoring a 3 or higher. When these outcomes have been achieved among an AP student population made up of 30 percent or more underrepresented minority students (Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian/Alaska Native) and/or 30 percent or more low-income students (students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch), a symbol has been affixed to the district name to highlight this work.
"We applaud the extraordinary efforts of the devoted teachers and administrators in this district, who are fostering rigorous work worth doing," said College Board President, David Coleman.
"These educators have not only expanded student access to AP course work, but they have enabled more of their students to achieve on a college level—which is helping to create a strong college-going culture," he said.

Michigan Wingnut Attempts Record for Most Mentions of the World 'Homosexual' in a Single Robo-call
Michigan statehouse candidate Gary Glenn, who is also the President of the Michigan chapter of the American Family Association, really wants voters to know that Kevin Cotter's opponent Toni Sessoms is gay, despite the fact that Sessoms is out.
"An otherwise obscure statehouse race in Midland County, Michigan, may be home to the most remarkable robocall of the election cycle -- put up by a social conservative group, it drops the word 'homosexual' ten times. Over the weekend, Gary Glenn, the chairman of the Campaign for Michigan Families, released a robocall attacking the Democratic candidate in the race, Tony (sic) Sessoms, as a stooge for the 'homosexual activist agenda.' Sessoms is openly gay. But if a voter didn't know that, they certainly got the point after getting Glenn's call...Glenn's campaign is micro-targeted towards re-affirming support for Michigan's marriage protection amendment (which he helped author), outlawing same-sex marriage in the state. But there is no subtlety to the script. For good measure, Glenn used the word lesbian and transgender to bring his inferences of homosexuality to a solid dozen."
Listen to the robo-call, AFTER THE JUMP...
