The Sudbury Police Department is still looking for the grey passenger van that it believes may have caused a three-car accident Wednesday morning at the intersection of Landham and Boston Post roads.
According to Lt. Robert Grady, it is believed the van entered Boston Post Road heading east without stopping.
A red Jeep attempted to stop to avoid the van, which caused a chain reaction crash with two other vehicles: a white sedan and a commerical van.
The white sedan sustained damage to both ends, and the motorist was transported to Marlborough Hospital "with visible injuries," Grady said.
The driver of the commerical van was cited for following to close.
Anyone with information regarding the grey passenger van, which is believed to have Connecticut plates, is asked to contact Officer Michael Rochette at 978-443-1042.
In other police news from Feb. 13:
- Officers responded to a two-car accident on Concord Road. No injuries reported.
- Officers responded to a two-car accident on Dutton Road. No injuries were reported.
- An Old Meadow Road resident reported the theft of an iPad.

Gender-based violence is one of the most widespread – but least recognized – human rights abuses in the world. Globally, one out of three women will be beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused in her lifetime. This violence is happening to our sisters, mothers, grandmothers, aunts and daughters around the world.
This violence leaves survivors with long-term psychological and physical trauma; tears away at the social fabric of communities; and is used with terrifying effect in conflict settings, with women as the main target.

LONDON (MarketWatch)-- Greece's Prime Minister Antonis Samaras was meeting with his coalition partners in Athens on Thursday to discuss ways to initiate more spending cuts required by the nation's international lenders, according to media reports. The meeting comes in the wake of heated anti-austerity protests in Athens on Wednesday and following media reports earlier in the week that Greece's official budget shortfall of 11.5 billion euros, or about $15 billion, may in fact be around twice that amount. On Wednesday, police unleashed tear gas at rioters as the nation went on a 24-hour strike.

Georgia High School softball got underway in Bibb County Wednesday afternoon with the Lady Chargers on the road facing the Howard Huskies at their new housewarming party.
And with the first pitch of the season thrown by Principal Mark Adams, Howard High School opened the Lady Husky ball field for the very first time since the school opened 5 years ago. Before today the softball team has called either the boys baseball field or the DeFore Complex home, but after today they know have a place of their own to hang up their spikes.
"We are certainly very excited that it is here," says head coach, Kevin Adams. "Our girls are excited that they have a place that they can call home and we're gonna kick it off with a bang this year. There is certainly nothing like home but this will allow our students to stay on campus and not have to travel across town to be at a home game."
And in the inaugural game, Howard enjoyed the celebration so much they went on to unplug the Chargers 17-2 in only 3 innings. Next home game is Monday against Lamar County starting at 4:30.

See what people are saying
Check out these great things people are saying about StuffIt Deluxe 2010!
"Smith Micro Software's new StuffIt Deluxe 2010 for Mac is a must-have for any Mac user who shares large files."
"Few programs have as long a history as StuffIt Deluxe, the venerable compression and archiving utility now developed by Smith Micro, and the latest version, StuffIt Deluxe 2010, brings to the program a welcome integration with the Internet via the new StuffIt Connect service."
"StuffIt Deluxe 2010 appears to be a winner."
"I recommend StuffIt Deluxe 2010 to anyone who sends files to other people or who needs to compress files for back-ups."
"The new StuffIt is radically enhanced. In one simple motion users can compress files and upload them to the cloud...StuffIt continues to provide best-in-class compression technology."
"The new StuffIt Deluxe...includes a tool that is similar to several cloud computing services that have been popular in recent years. But, StuffIt makes the process a bit easier to use, a bit faster, and with a bit of interface panache that is admirable."
StuffIt has a history of excellence, but don't take our word for it!
"StuffIt has a lot of "nifty" hidden just under the hood, and its compression is as good as its that of its competitors."
"For 20 years, StuffIt has been a partner to anyone who needed to secure, compress and back up content."
"StuffIt Deluxe (SID) would be a charter member of the Macintosh software hall of fame if such a thing existed."
"An economical utility with multiple features for people who don't have the wherewithal to upgrade their systems every six months, StuffIt Deluxe 2009 helps users optimize limited disk space and streamline tasks. It includes several clever tools, and is just plain fun to play with."
"StuffIt, which has a loyal following on the Mac, is also a popular choice for PC power users...This is a great choice for users who need powerful tools and extensive format support."

LACO was honored to welcome Carol Muske-Dukes as our special guest speaker on Thursday night in the third event of LACO's new Westside Connections series. Carol Muske-Dukes is California's newly-appointed poet laureate, and she captivated the audience with poetry readings of both her own works and of others in order to illustrate links between poetry and music. To complement the musical program, Muske-Dukes read the following poems:
- Sonnet 29 – William Shakespeare
- The Love Song of J. Alfred Pufrock – T.S. Eliot
- Facing It – Komunyakaa
- Some Say – Sappho
- Coral Sea – Carol Muske-Dukes
- Dover Beach – Matthew Arnold
- Passport – Carol Muske-Dukes
- Last Robot Song – Robert Pinsky
- The River Merchant's Wife – Ezra Pound (translation of Li Po)
- Sonnet 116 – William Shakespeare
Muske-Dukes used many of these works to bring out the feelings of inner turbulence and war-time instability which are reflected in the evening's chamber music pieces. Samuel Barber's Dover Beach was an especially evocative performance with the mixture of poetry text and music, thanks to the vocal talent of guest artist Christòpheren Nomura.
Overall, the concert was quite a success with wonderful performances and insights. This was the season conclusion of LACO's inaugural Westside Connections series, and I look forward to returning to this series next year when LACO explores the creativity and inspirations of music and other artistic disciplines!

In June, Homeland Security Secretary Janet A. Napolitano announced the Obama administration's "deferred-action" policy for children who were brought to the country illegally but are a low priority for law enforcement because they are not considered a security risk. On Tuesday, President Obama and Vice President Joseph R. Biden met with three such persons in the White House.
CNS news reports that Mr. Obama met with eight advocates for comprehensive immigration reform, three of whom were still in the country as a result of the deferred-action policy.
SPECIAL COVERAGE: Immigration Reform
"At the meeting, the president reiterated his commitment to passing a bipartisan, commonsense immigration reform bill this year. … He made clear that while the current bill is not perfect, it does represent an important step towards the broad principles that need to be part of any immigration reform package," a White House statement said.
"The President and the Vice President were moved by the stories of courage and determination of these young immigrants and their families," the statement continued.
According to CNS news, the deferred-action policy is "projected to affect at least 800,000 illegal aliens in the United States."

Pretty good processor, but not good enough
2009-08-01 06:05:33
Reviewed by Bishop from Sacramento, CA US
I bought this chip a little over 1 year ago from eWiz to replace the stock P4 2.4ghz Celeron that was in my Dell. The chip is a great value for the cost and only dropped $3 in the last 13 months, however, it lacks future technologies, like Intel(R) Virtual Technology. Without this, you can not run the virtual XP Mode in Windows 7. You'll probably have to settle for a dual-boot system if you want to run XP programs and XP-specific peripherals. I have a USB tv tuner that isn't recognized in Windows 7, so I wanted to use the XPM, but I won't be able to that with this CPU chip. This CPU is too slow to run HD video, too. You can view 1080P videos if you turn all your other programs off, but the video will still be choppy at best. I'm using an old Dell that has a PCI (not PCI-e) video card (128mb FX-5300), and 2GB of ram. Perhaps if I was running 3GB and an AGP card with 256mb of memory? But that would be wasting money on this old system. I tried installing Tomb Raider Anniversary and the game play framerate was so incredibly slow. It had to have been around 10 or 12 frames a second. Lara was moving in super slo-mo, not just slow motion. I couldn't even install Leisure Larry Blockoffice Bust. It installed, but wouldn't play because of both the CPU and video card. This is a good chip and I have never had any problems with it, however, it no longer meets my needs. I'll be upgrading to a Quad-Core CPU this month and putting together a whole new PC. Hopefully the Quad can hold up for the next few years to come.

This card is certified for SATA II SSD connectivity. Keep in mind that the cable for this card, the 15 dollar part, is not included with the OEM above. The model number is CBL-SFF8087OCF-06M. You can pick that up at 3ware or whatnot. Also get the BBU-03 with the controller. It's not an optional nice to have with write-back caching. Best part is it's Linux kernel native. No drivers.

Want to go cheap and get the most out of it? Buy this processor. 1.8 Ghz is the standard speed but has the potential to go 2.7 Ghz (fx55 is only 2.6) or faster, if you tweak better than I. I have been running this processor for 2 years and I'm still loving it. I reached 2.3 Ghz on stock air cooling and I'm sure anyone could do the same but for the 2.7 you would want to go liquid. Bang for the buck should be the name, not 3000+..)

Reviewed by Anonymous from Saint-Laurent, PQ CA
I've had this processor over a year now and all I can say is that I am very satisfied with it. It is quite fast and can handle most of my software without any lag. However, due to being a single core, I must comment that heavy multitasking with this processor isn't its best feature. For example, playing a game like FEAR and encoding a DVD isn't a good idea lol. Still, it can handle most of the things you throw at it. I've overclocked it to 2.5GHz sucessfully, but I couldn't go higher due to my motherboard. If you're still in the market for a 939pin processor, this could be your pick!

AMD A6-3670K Quad-Core APU Processor 2.7GHz Sockect FM1, Retail (Black Edition)
Part: AD3670KBOX
2013-02-19 17:36:53
Reviewed by Randall L Swingle from Portland, OR US
The Good:
- Cost is great if you consider the graphics card is like a Radeon HD 6450 ($30-40 GPU) while the processor is a more power efficient Athlon II quad core ($80 CPU). - Can easily play all games 2007 and before at high settings. For example Hellgate:London can easily run 40-50 frames per second at max settings and 90 frames if you disable advanced shading. As long as you disable filters and run at 720p or less, it'll run smoothly. Plays Leagues Of Legend at 35-40 frames at High Settings. - Uses less than 150 watts combined at stock settings, making it useful for small cases, especially when you undervolt it because I saved 30 watts undervolting it down to 1.120 volts on the north bridge.
The Squirrelly:
- FM2 motherboards are already out and perform faster than FM1 CPUs like this one. - You need fast RAM to get the most of out it due to the graphics card needing RAM speed that the rest of the system is using. Higher clock speeds also helps that, so prepare to overclock a little bit as well if you need more performance. DDR3 1866 is what you want, or close to it and you need two sticks of Ram no matter what. Dual Channel is required to have it be used at it's fastest. - CPU doesn't have L3 cache, so don't try and play games that requires extreme amounts of filters like AA and such. The extra processing layers will cause your programs to come to a crawl.
Pro Tip:
I love this specific processor because it's the best of both roads. I got a FM1 System before this came out and it was $50 cheaper than the A8-3870k models. The difference is really small and the model can do a lot for very little. I recommend overclocking it to 3.0Ghz and undervolting it down to 1.2 since the stock is 1.45. It'll preform faster and use less energy than before, making it an instant win.

The Duncan Banner
Selection of the Duncan Little Theatre as recipient of the Oklahoma Theatre of the Year by the Oklahoma Community Theatre Association adds another star to its already impressive crown.
It is a class act, one worthy of distinction and one that makes a significant cultural contribution through its volunteer efforts to provide a wide variety of quality theatrical entertainment to our area.
Many of its productions, in fact, could easily win acclaim on the road.
Originally an activity of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) in the 1950s, the group reorganized as Duncan Little Theatre in 1981 and has earned its place in the spotlight since. It gets better with age and continues to wow audiences with an assortment of performances, all outstanding.
Its legacy ranks among the state's most respected and its past is filled with recognition that honors folks like Sharon Burum and Dwayne Brittain, both Hall of Honor and past OCTA president; the Anthony Batchelor Website of the Year Award; Judy Crawford, Charles Hair Volunteer of the Year; Kathy Buxton, OCTA Spotlight; and Brittain, Bill Crawford Memorial Award.
None, however, are more meaningful than the Oklahoma Theatre of the Year. It is the official stamp of excellence at the highest level. It merits a loud "Bravo!," a resounding standing ovation and, to each participating, hard-working member on and behind the stage over the years, a sincere thanks.

CHARLOTTE — N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried saw this coming.
For the first time in 37 years, the media picked the Wolfpack to win the ACC on Wednesday at Operation Basketball. Junior forward C.J. Leslie was picked as the preseason ACC player of the year and freshman guard Rodney Purvis the preseason rookie of the year.
Gottfried knew what would happen because it was the same result as the coaches vote earlier in the week.
"I think it was a set-up," Gottfried said of the vote by his fellow ACC coaches, which was the first in league history. "They set me up. It was a conspiracy theory."
Gottfried, who returns four starters from his first team, which won 24 games and reached the Sweet 16, wasnt particularly affected by the medias selection.
"Weve never accused you guys of being real smart," Gottfried said.
The vote was historic nonetheless. The media has made its annual picks since 1970 and picked the Wolfpack to win the league only twice, in 1974 and 75.
State hasnt won the ACC regular season since 1989 and hasnt won the ACC title since 87.
Duke and North Carolina were picked to finish second and third, respectively, on Wednesday, the fourth time the Triangle teams swept the top three spots (in some order) and first since 2008.
"Im old enough where I remember where Duke and North Carolina State and North Carolina were all three really, really good teams," UNC coach Roy Williams said. "And I think that was good for all of us. So to me, were getting to the point back where it used to be. And I like that. I really do.
N.C. State received 26 of the medias 53 first-place votes. The Wolfpack was also ranked No. 6 in the country in the preseason USA Today Top 25, which was released Wednesday. Duke was No. 8, UNC No. 12.
All of which is nice, Leslie said, but ultimately meaningless.
"Its all great, getting picked this and that, but when the games start, it doesnt help us whatsoever," Leslie said.
It was the first time since 2005 a team other than Duke or UNC was picked to win the conference and second time since 1997 (both times Wake Forest was the choice).
Duke, which went 13-3 in the ACC last season and finished second during the regular season, was picked to finish second and received 21 first-place votes.
UNC, last years regular-season champion at 14-2, was the choice at third, followed by Florida State, the 2012 ACC champions, and Miami.
Wake Forest, which has won five conference games in coach Jeff Bzdeliks first two seasons, was picked 11th.
While the coaches and media agree on the Wolfpack, Gottfried still believes UNC and Duke are the teams to beat, just based on their track records.
UNC or Duke has won the regular season every year since 2003 and 14 times in the past 16 years.
The Tar Heels lost four first-round picks to the NBA, from a 32-6 team which lost in the Final Eight to Kansas (the same team that knocked out N.C. State) but the cupboard is not empty, Leslie said.
"Carolina still has great players," Leslie said. "Theyre always going to be great."
Duke lost a pair of first-round picks and is coming off an opening-game loss in the NCAA tournament to Lehigh, but the Blue Devils have added depth and athleticism.
The Triangle teams dominated the All-ACC selections with Leslie and Wolfpack guard Lorenzo Brown joined by Duke forward Mason Plumlee and UNC forward James Michael McAdoo.
FSU guard Michael Snaer was the only player from outside the state of North Carolina on the team.
N.C. State hasnt handled expectations well, recently. The media picked the Pack to finish fourth in 2011, and it stumbled to 10th. In 2008, the Pack was picked to finish third and finished dead last.
Which is why Howell, a sophomore on the 2011 team, is not putting too much stock into Wednesdays predictions.
"Its just something that somebody picked off of what we did last year," Howell said. "We havent proved anything this year."

Hello! I am here to meet and greet. Maybe make some nice conversation. I am just a friendly person, but I'm not a push over. I can be a bitch when neccessary. I'm a big beautiful woman so if you dont like the larger size ladies then "bye-bye". I love to laugh and have a great time. Laughter is the key to happiness in life. Sometimes I am quiet and sometimes I enjoy being around people. Please don't ask me to cyber. I am tired of meaningless relationships and cybering is right up there for me.
The vagina and rectum are only separated by a thin membrane. It is not uncommon for some women to have this sensation. I would ask do you have constipation? This may mean your "lower" bowels are not completely empty. Also, some women have hemorriods which also causes more pressure in that area. What we often suggest to clients that you try a different position. Female on top or side lying positions help. If your partner is on top it adds extra pressure on the digestive system and the bladder thus causes the feeling. The reason it seems to get worse during an orgasm is because your muscles are contracting. Yes, some of the muscles that are used during bowel movements. This is why some women will poop when having a baby not to mention the pressure on that area. Try to relax. If you are just going into sex without adequate foreplay and relaxation your are tensing up. That will make it more likely. Get online and research more, plus you also need to learn more about your own body. The more you know the better sex will be so find a good book and begin reading. I hope this helps...
I think if a man helps around the house, he is more of a man. There is something about a man that can help around the house that just says so much. I also think its sexy when watching a man cook or when a man comes into the kitchen just to help with the dishes. ;)
I love to have my neck and shoulders kissed or nipped lightly, tongue action only if its not a creepy sloppy wet tongue..ewhhhhaaa and just a little of it. Too much isnt sexy (yes, I had a guy do that. Creeps me out to this day!!)
I saw your post and thought I would just say that it isnt you. My ex done that to me and I thought the same thing. Found out he was cheating, now that doesnt mean your BF is doing the same thing. My ex was bipolar and refused to take his meds. maybe your guy just likes to have his ego stroked. believe it or not some men tend to need to feel that a woman desires them. Try talking it out and not arguing. If that doesnt work then seeing is believing. Show him wheather it be being a carbon copy of him. But make sure you are reading the signs right. I can not really say since I dont know his age or anything about him. Ex: occupation, stressors in his life, things like this. Some men are just plain wore out after working at some jobs. My friends hubby works construction. When he comes home he just wants supper and a nice comfy bed. Look at the broader side and weigh in all possiblities.
You definately aren't the only one that likes to. I enjoy it very much and I'm sure the guy does too ;) I have to agree I love the feel of it and I love to touch!!!
Ok, let met set the record staight, I am not an ass. The way I set it, the selfish thing to do would a divorce. See that way the money I set aside for the kids' college fund would to child support, and I wouldn't be there to take the kids to school in the morning, or take the them the dentist or band practice, or school rehersal, etc. For the sake of the children I'm staying in the marraige. The selfish thing would be to leave.Incidentally, I was there with my wife when her father and helped clean out her grandmother's apartment when her grandmother had to go into a nursing home. I als listen to her when she complains about "so and so" at work. Yet despite my support support groups etc,. she still hides sweets like an alcoholic hides booze.Imagine your significant other 75 pounds overweight, often stinky with gas, and poor knees, and kids who need your daily love and attention, and look me in the eye and try to tell me I'm ass. I'm just human. WOW. You say you are not selfish...Let me break it down for you my dear. "The way I set it, the selfish thing to do would a divorce. See that way the money I set aside for the kids' college fund would to child support, and I wouldn't be there to take the kids to school in the morning, or take the them the dentist or band practice, or school rehersal, etc." You say if you get a divorce that the money you put aside would go for child support instead of the college fund. Well let me clue you in on some facts. Fact, if you actually do this then the judge would order it to continue. You say that you wouldn't be able to be there for the children. I know many parents that still work together. I know one father that comes to the mothers house and takes the children to school Comes to the practice sessions. A divorce wouldn't stop that unless you were abusive and would need a guardian enlighten. You then say that ," I was there with my wife when her father and helped clean out her grandmother's apartment when her grandmother had to go into a nursing home. I als listen to her when she complains about "so and so" at work. Yet despite my support support groups etc,. " THAT WHATS MARRIAGE IS ALL ABOUT!!!! "She still hides sweets like an alcoholic hides booze." With your attitude and statments, I'm not suprised. " I wonder if you every give her a word of encouragement...I seriously doubt it. I read your words and its all about you. How about really looking at yourself. You seem to thank she should still have a great body after having kids. Well it doesnt work that way. Instead of support you put her down. Eating disorders are no different than an alchoholic. I bet you were constantly reminding her that if she ate something or too much that she would gain the weight back. I have seen people (men and women) with the same attitude. What it really comes down to is you are afraid if you divorce its not you who will find the happiness. You are afraid she will find the happiness. "Imagine your significant other 75 pounds overweight, often stinky with gas, and poor knees, and kids who need your daily love and attention, and look me in the eye and try to tell me I'm ass. I'm just human. " I dont have to imagine it. He is overweight more than 75 lbs and did does have gas, he has poor knees and yes, we do have a child that needs love and attention. I WISH HE HAD MANY MORE DAYS TO BE FARTY, STINKY, IN HIS RIGHT MIND, AND NOT DYING. You got one thing right. Yes you are human and a very selfish one at that. I suggest you be thankful that you have a wife with bad traits and all. I'm sure you are not without faults. Trust me, your not. No one is without faults.
Ok. This might get deleted but hey its worth a try. First, its not about you. If your wife had the gastric bypass surgery and has foul gas (not that your guess smells like roses) then something is wrong. She may need to change her diet and she could add beano. Also it sounds as though she may need to add a probiotic to her diet. By the way, if it doesnt stink then something really bad is wrong. I worked in a hospital and came across some really bad smells. I have yet to vomit over gas. I think you need to look at your own self. Im sure you are not perfect....from your post I would say far from it.
I love massaged and a gentle tongue action with light sucking. Nothing to rough.
I think you need to do what your heart tells you. You know your wife and only you and your wife can decide what is best. I would give the suggestions that Chefkathleen made a try. When someone is not an artist they dont realize that everything becomes lines. I dont know about you but I know as an amature artist I was concentrating on getting the drawing just right instead of thinking "that dude is... or that girl is.... Drawing becomes about dimensions, lighting, shading, and depth. You might also tell her....yea she is young and all that but I want a girl who is my gift, not for everyone to see. Everyone can see a naked body but not everyone can see the body I love. I know in my class I had to practice drawing. Ask her to be a subject. Make it fun. Draw her if or when she takes a bath or maybe while she getting dress. You can fill in the details as they come about and suprise her. I know I would love it. Show her that our bodies are not suppose to be perfect. Sometimes as we age/or have kids we gain weight. so what. That person that you fell in love with is still inside and she needs to know that. I know having my car accident and not being able to run 5 miles a day tends to let you pack on the pounds. Tell her and show her that its not the body that is sexy but how you carry yourself. If you feel sexy then you will look sexy. Society and especially the media says we are suppose to be super thin, but we live in the real world. I would rather be overweight and happy than to be slim and miserable.
Yes, It can be. You are drinking ammonia, urea acid. Think about it. It is a waste product. You are putting waste in your body and back into your kidneys concentrated. You will damange your kidneys if you continuously do it. Trust me, dialysis is not fun.

text: So I was at the Denver Bronco's practice yesterday and as we were pulling up Chris Mortensen's bus was sitting there. I seriously went nuts! So as we were sitting there in the VIP tent he came in there and talked to us for almost an hour. I kind of feel like a traitor for being there, but like I've told you guys before I'm in the Army and we got offered to go watch them practice so I went. Anyways, When I asked him what he thinks the Lions are gonna do this year he told me that he thinks they are going to be the biggest surprise this year and in about 2 years we will be in serious contention. I took pictures with him, I was so stoked about meeting him that I was acting like an 8th grade little girl. lol. Also I don't know if you guys saw the clip with Tiki Barber, but he also said that the Lions are going to be the biggest surprise in the NFC this year and predicts them winning 9 games! On saturday I see some of the Steeler players running around screaming rape, that's how pumped the defense sounds to get out there, I can't wait. I'll be at the Lions, Bronco's preseason game on the 21st in the endzone seats wearing a Suh jersey so I'll waive to all of you!! GO LIONS!!!!

His honors include the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature and the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Prize. Born in Ireland, he currently lives in New York with his wife, the novelist Zadie Smith, and teaches at Princeton University and Barnard College.
An inventive new collection by the writer whom Colm Tóibín called "an assured and brilliant voice in Irish poetry."
"Easily his most accomplished to date . . . [Laird] gives everything of himself in a poetry as expansive and thought-provoking as his considered response to an infinitely complicated universe needs it to be."
The Guardian
"Displays an almost child-like wonder in the variety and slippage of language, alongside an adult sensibility of its boundless possibilities and dangers.... Here are some of Laird's most successful and mature poems."

You know when you're really trying to pinch out a turd and you need to put a lot of effort into it? Well, the next time you're having trouble expelling the brown stuff from your poo-shoot, sing some Cradle lyrics. That should solve your problem but for the best effects make sure that your are in a tiled bathroom, not carpeted or wooden.
The problem lies in transferring this technique to the live setting. I believe Dani swerves any possible accidents by wearing ladies' incontinence nappies during performances. What you do with the resulting faeces is totally down to you but be sure to lube your chest up beforehand.

At around 1300 (1:00 PM) on the Thursday of graduation week, your flight will be marched to the Air Force Basic Military Training (AFBMT) for the Airman's Coin Ceremony, where you will be presented with the Air Force Airman's Coin.
After this event, you'll no longer be called a "trainee." You've earned the right to be called "Airman." Many airman consider this to be one of the most significant events in their career.
Your friends and family are invited to attend this ceremony. Details will be available at the reception center, and in the graduation notice that is sent to them a couple of weeks before your scheduled graduation. The ceremony lasts about 30 minutes, and is usually presided over by the Air Force Basic Training commanding officer.
A few words about military "coins:"
Military coins, whether commander's coins, challenge coins, or unit and squadron coins, have become increasingly popular throughout the military.
Stories of where the custom originated vary widely. One of the most accepted traces it to World War I, when a wealthy lieutenant had bronze unit medallions struck for his squadron. As the story goes, a squadron pilot who was shot down and captured behind German lines ended up with nothing but that medallion to identify himself after his escape. Ultimately, the identifying coin ended up saving him from being executed by the French as a spy.
The squadron's tradition of medallion or coin carrying continued, with "challenges" regularly made to ensure all members had theirs handy. A unit member who couldn't quickly produce the medallion when challenged had to buy the challenger a drink. But if the medallion could be slapped down, the challenger had to buy.
Over the years, some units have continued this tradition. But more commonly, military coins have become a symbol of affiliation that's used to boost morale, foster esprit de corps, and honor service.

Houston, Chicago, Colorado, and Minnesota are all going to regret not taking Frazier. I felt like he was by far the best player in the 2013 draft and will be in Cleveland by the time he is 20.
Aug 08, 2013 04:44 AM
I think Houston, Colorado, and Minnesota are very happy they picked up the best pitchers in the draft based on how their pitching staffs look now. Chicago also picked up the most projectable bat in Bryant whom we can't say right now is Frazier but definitely a top 3 bat in the draft, if not the overall best pick.

Feature: Shamanism in South Korea
Shamanism has been practiced on the Korean peninsula since before the concept of "Korea" even existed. In a Haps exclusive, author Daniel Tudor shares an excerpt on Shamanism from his recent book "Korea: The Impossible Country."
SEOUL, South Korea -- I'd been looking to talk to a mudang (or more politely, musok-in) - a Korean shaman - for a while. But I didn't really know where to start, and friends kept warning me to be careful about hanging around with such spiritually potent people. Luckily, my friend's mother consults with mudang regularly, so she set me up for an interview with Hyun-ju, a very ordinary-looking ajumma who just happens to be possessed by the soul of an ancient Chinese monk.
Together, we went to Hyun-ju's sparsely-decorated home on the slopes of Namsan, one of the two most revered places for mudang in Seoul. She gave me three hours of her time, long enough to hear some of the most bizarre and fascinating tales I have encountered during my time in Korea.
I've interviewed all kinds of people, from homeless drifters to President Lee Myung-bak, by way of room salon hostesses and 'Gangnam Style' genius Psy. But none of these people ever told me that they had descended into hell and spoken with the devil himself. This is what Hyun-ju claims, and furthermore, she then went on to say that upon waking from the trance that took her into down into Hades for her conversation with Old Nick ('yeomla daewang' in Korean), she found herself naked on the roof of her house.
'People in the neighbourhood started to think I was a bit strange', she added, with wonderful understatement.
Hyun-ju also had some very serious advice for me. I should not buy a blue car - especially at the age of thirty-four. Now, I'm not one to believe in spirituality, religion, or any kind of metaphysical stuff, but she could hardly have been more specific about it. This was no fluffy 'you will meet a tall, dark stranger' of a premonition. As much as I want to dismiss her words, I'm quite sure I'll not try tempting fate. I'll stick with the metro until the unlikely day I can afford a ridiculous, gigantic, black Equus.
Here's more about Hyun-ju and on Shamanism from my book, Korea: The Impossible Country.
Shamanism in South Korea
Primary colors blur as she spins repeatedly, entranced and led on by clanging cymbals and the insistent beat of drums. She sings and dances as a means of communicating with the spirit world. She enters into what appears to be a trance, speaking with the voice of the departed. This is her gift, and her curse – to be a musok-in, a Korean shaman. The ceremony she is performing, "the gut," lasts all day long and may serve to calm malign spirits, purify the soul of the recently deceased, or ask the gods for a good harvest or success in a business venture.
She is part of a tradition that stretches back forty thousand years and has its origins in Siberia. Musok, or shamanism, has been practiced on the Korean peninsula for far longer than the concept of Korea, the country, has existed.
Though musok is ancient and seems remote from the South Korea of today—a wealthy, technologically advanced, and increasingly globalized country—it is woven into the fabric of Korean society and still exerts an influence over the most rational of city folk.
What is Korean Shamanism, and How Popular is it?
Musok is a set of disparate religious or superstitious practices based in belief in a natural world animated by spirits and a certain understanding of fate, and aimed at bridging between the spirit world and the realm of the living. Usually, a believer will turn to musok in order to produce some sort of benefit—good fortune or the removal of evil spirits—or to learn something about their destiny.
Practitioners may follow a great many different gods and spirits, and the way these are followed depends on a number of factors, including the practitioner's personality and the region she comes from. According to the musok-in Hyun-ju (her working name), who has practiced musok for over twenty years for a large variety of clients, at the heart of musok is simply a "belief in nature." As she explains it, a person, an animal, a tree, or even a rock —has a spirit. Musok offers a way of communicating with those spirits, and possibly using them for some earthly benefit.
"Researchers have documented more than ten thousand gods worshipped by musok practitioners, and, in reality, there are likely to be many more. Individual musok-in have their own principal gods—Hyun-ju's is an ancient Chinese monk. There have been those who have followed Jesus Christ; and, after his daring Incheon landing during the Korean War, some even worshipped General Douglas MacArthur."
Since each musok-in follows different gods and spirits, there is a pantheon in only a very loose sense. Researchers have documented more than ten thousand gods worshipped by musok practitioners, and, in reality, there are likely to be many more. Individual musok-in have their own principal gods—Hyun-ju's is an ancient Chinese monk. There have been those who have followed Jesus Christ; and, after his daring Incheon landing during the Korean War, some even worshipped General Douglas MacArthur.
Similarly, since there is no overarching set of rules, no bible or orthodoxy, ceremonies that have formalized rituals, involving dances, songs, and incantations—such as the Seoul danggut, which calls for a good harvest—are recongnized and transmitted on a regional or town level. Musok-in learn those that apply to their home regions. In addition, according to Hyun-ju, musok-in often find it hard to collaborate since they each believe "their gods are the best." While each musok-in is guided to some extent by millennia of shamanic tradition, specific traditions vary by region. Furthermore, much depends on who the novice learned from, the god she follows, and her own individual character.
Musok is very practical, as it is used as way of solving people's problems via communication with the spirit world. The musok-in is a go-between, mediating between ordinary Koreans and this other world, linking the person seeking advice or an understanding of their future or remediation of some sort with the spirits that can provide it.
Hyun-ju, for instance, tells this author to avoid the color blue and, more specifically, not to buy a blue car at the age of thirty-four, based on the advice of spirits. But she does not impart the sort of moral counsel a pastor or priest might, for instance. There is no musok Ten Commandments. (Hyun-ju does have her own personal rules, however, such as the need to refrain from lying and thoughtless speech. Her chosen name means "Be careful with your words.").
Followers do not describe themselves as adherents of musok. In Korea, one simply visits a musok-in for advice with a big decision or dilemma, or when faced with illness or tragedy. Those who go for counsel are not typically aware of the specific character of the gods followed by the musok-in, or the meaning of the rituals employed. They approach the musok-in in the way a Westerner may approach a psychiatrist: as a consultant, as and when required. Musok is considered "feminine"—a legacy of Korean history and not simply due to the fact that most practitioners are women.
During the Joseon dynasty (1392–1897), neo-Confucianism was the state ideology. This philosophical tradition was paternalistic and encouraged the marginalization of women from public life. Concerned with rationalism and the promotion of an orderly society, neo-Confucians considered musok emotional and metaphysical and conflated it with the feminine, which may in fact have coincided with a tradition of shamans being mainly women.
Consequently, they suppressed it, and relegated musok-in to the lowest social class, the cheonmin. Even so, practitioners continued to receive business from customers of all kinds, from humble farmers to royalty. In an era of male-dominated, non-spiritual formality, people demanded an outlet for the opposite side of their character – and musok provided that. Queen Min of the late Joseon period herself employed two musok-in as advisors.
In the modern era, despite the advent of scientific rationalism and the rapid growth of Christianity in Korea, musok has flourished. The New York Times reports there to be around 300,000 musok-in working in contemporary Korea. Many are drawn to the practice by the fact that it has become a very profitable business. A sought-after musok-in who pushes expensive gut ceremonies on her cliare able to advertise in major newspapers, employ several apprentices and assistants, and buy multiple properties. The fact that millions of Koreans are prepared to pay for this sort of spiritual counsel does of course encourage fakes and frauds. This, according to Hyun-ju, has set the musok world "at war with itself," in her words. A real musok-in is not rich, she says.
The Making of a Musok-in
The process of becoming a musok-in can start in one of two ways. The first is seseupmu, the inheritance of shaman status from one's family, with an older relative conferring the status on a younger one. Of such musok-in, there are two types, both traditionally found south of the Han River: shimbang and tangol. Shimbang are considered not to be in direct contact with spirits, but they have the ability to draw spirits into communion with others. A tangol may not believe in a particular god as her guide. Neither will maintain a personal shrine.
The second type of initiation, gangshinmu, occurs with no such hereditary connection. It begins with a kind of "spiritual sickness" known as a shinbyeong. The shinbyeong manifests itself in a variety of symptoms, such as loss of energy, hallucinations, the hearing of voices, and insomnia, which indicate that the woman who is stricken by them is possessed of the ability to communicate with spirits. This ability is considered a curse rather than a blessing—but it is also a matter of destiny: Hyun-ju states that she would not be a musok-in if she felt she had a choice. Her life is lonely, she says, and at least for her, incompatible with having a family. She remains unmarried and laments that she expects no one to turn up to her funeral, a consequence of people's superstition about the presence of hostile spirits at a musok-in's wake and her lack of a family.
Those judged to be proper candidates for gangshinmu induction are initiated by way of a special kind of gut, the naerim gut. Naerim refers to the physical entrance of a spirit into a new initiate; a particular god (for example, Hyun-ju's Chinese monk), will take possession of the new musok-in, and from then on be her spirit leader. This naerim ceremony cures the illness and signals the initiate's transformation from ordinary person to musok-in.
"During the Joseon Dynasty, musok-in were relegated to the lowest social class, the cheonmin. Even so, practitioners continued to receive business from customers of all kinds, from humble farmers to royalty."
The conductor of the naerim gut will then likely serve as the new musok-in's master. Though the novice keeps her own god, she also forms a kind of spirit mother–spirit daughter, apprentice relationship with the elder musok-in, learning her incantations and songs and working as a junior participant in her ceremonies. This period may last one or two years, and depending upon the strictness of the master, the trainee may also have to spend some of this time performing basic household chores. The world of musok is not uniform, however. Hyun-ju claims never to have suffered from any of the physical symptoms of of shinbyeong, though she was visited by several spirits during her naerim stage.
Her story is unusual: at the age of thirty-two, she was visited first by Jesus Christ, then the spirit of a Japanese samurai, then a Chinese monk. Each wanted her to accept naerim from him, and, following her instincts, she chose the monk. After this, the monk subjected her to a series of trials, such as having to repeatedly leap in the air, for six hours at a time. During this stage, which lasted several weeks, she also had to ward off the relentless entreaties of the samurai: in order to placate him, she spent another six hours per day bowing.
Because Hyun-ju never manifested shinbyeong symptoms, it was difficult for her to find an older shaman to perform her naerim gut. Those around her felt she had simply gone insane. She recounts becoming the subject of neighborhood gossip as a result of her unusual behavior. However, after she had approached several musok-in with her story, one established practitioner accepted her as an apprentice, thus beginning her initiation into Korea's oldest tradition.
Life as a Musok-in
Today, musok-in are not ostracized on class grounds, as they were during the Joseon era, for the social structures of old have disappeared. However, because of their perceived spiritual power, many people fear them and, as a result, refrain from socializing with them. For the ordinary person, the musok-in is someone to be visited in times of trouble and avoided at other times. A writer or anthropologist planning to visit one is likely be warned by friends to be careful.
The musok-in is called on to provide gut, dancing and singing to communicate with the spirits while dressed in the multicolored robes that denote her profession. She might "ride the blades" during such a ceremony. This is the most famously sensational musok-in act, performed in a state of deep entrancement or ecstasy, when the musok-in dances barefoot on the edge of a knife without cutting herself, to show her power and intimidate malign spirits.
Other musok-in have different calling cards. Hyun-ju is said to have the ability to lift a cow off the ground and place it on a spike, in demonstration of the physical strength provided to her by her gods.
A musok-in will also perform smaller rituals at the home or place of business of a client. Those opening new enterprises, for example, may call upon the spirit world by inviting a musok-in to perform a ceremony for good luck. Practices include putting banknotes between the trotters of a dead pig (pigs symbolize money and fortune) and the ritual placement of a dried pollack on the premises. One sometimes sees such fish long after the ceremony is over, as it is supposed to bring good luck as long as it remains in place.
The most common service is jeom, which is a form of one-on-one spiritual counseling. If one has a particular query—for example, "When will I get married?" or "Should I start my own business?"—one may consult a musok-in for advice from the spirit world. For many musok-in, jeom is the starting point for subsequent services recommended to the client: for example, a follow-up gut. For Hyun-ju, however, gut is "only for rich people." Since it can be astonishingly expensive—a single ceremony may cost around 8 million won (about $7,500 U.S. dollars) or more —she never recommends it for people of ordinary means, opting instead to take them to the mountains for prayer. Much of Hyun-ju's practice simply consists in listening to people's problems and giving advice, much like a counselor.
Many of today's elite Koreans make use of gut, just as Queen Min did in the nineteenth century. Members of chaebol families (chaebol being the large family-run business groups that dominate the economy) have been reported to pay for services for purposes ranging from business success to personal matters, as have politicians seeking electoral success. Hyun-ju has had several business, politician, and celebrity clients; she claims to have foretold the bankruptcy of one of her wealthiest patrons, after having seen a vision of him in rags.

More Than 134,000 Feds to Telework Next Week
- By Eric Katz
- February 26, 2014
- Leave a comment
More than 134,000 federal employees have signed up to participate in telework week starting March 3, according to public-private partnership group Mobile Work Exchange.
Total savings from the event will top $11.3 million, according to Mobile Work Exchange's General Manager Cindy Auten. Monday will mark the fourth annual telework week, which agencies use as a continuity of operations exercise.
In addition to generally promoting telework, the event allows agencies to test their business continuity plans and stress test their systems in areas like help desk support and remote logins.
To find out if your agency is participating in telework week, click here. To take the pledge, click here.
During the program's first year, just 39,000 feds pledged to participate. The 2013 telework week had a record 136,000 participants, 82 percent of whom were federal workers. The event this year will top those figures.
Employees who have participated before are returning, Auten said, and are spreading the word to their colleagues. Mobile Work Exchange provides information and materials to agencies that encourage employees to participate.
Federal agencies have worked since the passage of the 2010 Telework Enhancement Act to expand telework availability to their employees.
About 30 percent of eligible employees teleworked at some point during fiscal 2012, according to Office of Personnel Management data, up from 21 percent the previous year. The number of all federal employees deemed eligible for telework by their agency increased by 49 percent between 2011 and 2012.

No arch support
User: Barbara Diggam, Florida
I like the look of the shoe, and it does have good lateral stability on the court. However there is very little arch support. I think I will have to buy an orthotic to make them work long term.

WC804W WOMENS SHOES D WIDTH Purchased on 01/08/2013 NEW BALANCE We like this order and plan to buy more in the near future.
Time will tell if meets promises
User: Pamela Hay, WA
These shoes are the first version I have purchased that were not leather uppers, and also the first w/ a 1 year warrenty on the sole. I noticed that it took longer to break these in, than the other style, because it is a much more supportive shoe, perhaps due to the 2 factors of non-giving man-made material upper, and the heavier duty sole. Usually I need 0 break in time, and this time, it took a few days. I believe in wearing them strickly on the court and revoving them right away after to let me beet breath and ooperate with less support. I do love the security of them now that I am used to them.
Great return policy
User: Barbara Smith, VA
I found Tennis Express on BizRate with the best price. I ordered a pair of New Balance shoes. When I received them, I realized that I should have ordered a 2E size instead of a Wide. I simply rewrapped them, put the label on the box that cane with the package and took them to my local Fed Ex store. I had enclosed the return sheet with a notation that I would like to exchange them for the 2E size. The new sized shoes were sent out quickly and I am very pleased with both the service and the price. Thanks.
Good shoe
User: Devon, NC
Nice roomy toe box. They are a little stiff, but give good support. Overall, great tennis shoe for the price.
User: Joyce Ann Shelburne, PA
I love the stability these shoes have given me on the court. Also, no more tired feet after he game!
Great Shoes for Bad Feet!
User: marybeth matlock, wa
I have a problem with my big toes. The condition is called Hallix Rigidus--the joints are stiff and painful. These shoes have an interior rocker sole which allows me to move on the court without much pain. Honestly, I couldnt play tennis without these shoes. I hope NB never stops making them!
Great tennis shoe
User: Paul Lam, california
I purchase this shoe for my wife, she loves it so much and I am buying another one right now. The shoe needs no break in and it is a great tennis shoe.

Almost Perfect
User: Renee Cartwright, CA
With wide feet and the love of tennis, I will scour high and low for a comfortable shoe; the New Balance WC804W is one of the best shoes I have tried. I was extremely disappointed when I could no longer find the NB 654, but this shoe fills the void. I will take this opportunity to mention my satisfaction with Tennis Express. This is my first purchase with them and the item was not in stock; they told me when it would be available, ship it on the same day as promised. I am so pleased.
Great, Comfortable shoe
User: Nonc, Ga
This is my 2nd time purchasing this shoe. Really love New Balance, they produce quality products and since my feet are wide I can actually select my correct shoe size rather than going up a size and hoping that they fit. These shoes are comfortable and I love the way they hold up in rigorous play. I play both singles and doubles and these are perfect!
Great court shoe for Wide Widths
User: Carol Moore, KY
I have been wearing the New Balance 800 series for over 6 years. The toe box is roomy and I never get blisters or foot pain - even after multiple days of play. I have bought other court shoes, but none are as comfortable right out of the box as my New Balance 804s and they are the ones I rely on when I need both comfort and support.
Great shoes
User: Linda Haderer, New Jersey
These shoes are great for my wide feet. I play tennis three times a week and found them very comfortable. On my second pair. Only problem on my first pair is that the leather split on top after 6 months of wear.
great new balance shoes
User: carolina, ga
I am happy with my new balance tennis shoes. I struggle with finding a shoe that fits well. These fit the bill. They are comfortable and give great support
ALTA player
User: Darlene Lentini, GA
This shoe provides great support for my ankles and since Ive been wearing this shoe, Ive had no problems with sprained ankles. It is also comfortable from the first time I put it on -- no need to break it in. I purchase two pairs each time I reorder.

I have always worn NB walkers and cross training and just recently purchased NB Tennis shoes and love them!! They fit like a glove. Usually new shoes take a few times to break in; not with NB. I higly recommend NB for tennis, walking and cross training.

My wife loves the shoes. They fit perfect and I will purchase again when she needs a new pair of shoes. Tennis Express gave me excellent service. Great job.

HOUSTON - Losing, always hurts. Falling to your rival? Even worse.
That's what Rice experienced on September 21, dropping a 31-26 decision to the Houston Cougars. But if you saw them on September 22, you would've thought nothing was wrong.
The sun shined at Rice Stadium and the Owls were on the field, but not fixing mistakes from the previous day. Instead, they were hosts for a group of athletes.
Like they've done in years past, head coach David Bailiff and his team welcomed kids and young adults with special needs for a chance to experience what it's like to be a football player.
The Owls players acted as "buddies", teaching football technique or even pushing some of their guests to get that rush of moving down the field.
This wasn't mandatory for the players and it was completely optional. Getting some smiles alone was worth the time, but learning how to appreciate what they have was the true reward.
Feeling like a champion doesn't always involve winning.
Experiencing one moment that lasts a lifetime, is sometimes more than enough.

Joe Walsh (born Joseph Fidler Walsh, November 20, 1947) is an American musician, songwriter, and actor. He has been a member of three commercially successful bands, the James Gang, Barnstorm, and the Eagles, and has experienced notable success as a solo artist and prolific session musician, especially with B.B. King. In January 1968, he replaced Glen Schwartz as lead guitarist for the James Gang, an American power trio. Walsh proved to be the band's star attraction, noted for his innovative rhythm playing and creative guitar riffs. In particular, he was known for hot-wiring the pickups on his electric guitars to create his trademark attack sound. The James Gang had several minor hits and bec... Continue Bio >>
