The University of Texas' vision to build a medical school is now becoming clear.
On Wednesday, the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation announced their $50 million investment into the project, which is set to be as close to The 40 Acres as possible.
Thursday morning, a UT spokesperson said in an email to YNN that building the school as close to University Medical Center Brackenridge is one option, or where the Penick-Allison Tennis Courts are currently located.
UT's Board of Regents first approved a medical school on campus last May. In November, Travis County voters passed Central Health Proposition 1, which raises property taxes to fund training for medical students. UT has agreed to fund the medical school itself, but the Dell Foundation's donation reduces a huge amount of its cost. According to a press release, the school will be named the Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin.
Travis County Central Health Official Rosie Mendoza says local taxpayers are the catalyst to starting the medical school engine.
"It was because they said yes to Central to increase their taxes that we are going to be able to bring this medical school to life," she said.
It's estimated the school will bring 15,000 jobs to the area, and $2 billion a year will impact the greater Austin area when the school is complete.
Michael Dell said his foundation's contribution will pay off for the entire community.
"In addition to improved health outcome, the medical school will attract leading medical practitioners, researchers to the Austin area," Dell said. "That's going to spur all sorts of medical technology innovations which will be available on a yearly basis to our entire community and also will drive a new wave of economic growth around biotech technologies"
Construction costs for the medical school are estimated at $233 million. Operating costs over 12 years could reach $4.1 billion.
The Dells also contributed another $10 million to community health clinics for Austin and Travis County.

My name is Richard Thompson I am a reporter with KIRO-TV in Seattle. I'm trying to find folks in Western Washington (preferably from Olympia to Seattle) who are dealing with or have dealt with the Flushmate III recall. Does anybody know someone in Washington state who had a toilet equiped with this system that actually exploded ? We have also heard that the retrofit kit that is being sent to consumers is complicated (for many consumers) and many folks have ended up calling plumbers to fix the issue?
Thank you for your time I appreciate the help.

There's an extensive thread on here about the issue already, complete with links to video of exploding and exploded toilets, including a guy whose toilet exploded within minutes of his kid using the bathroom. There are also a variety of complaints from people about how the thing performed after the retrofit was installed, and, yeah, it's not a DIY job for anybody who isn't handy, but they don't pay for the plumber time to install the kit.

In Chicago and Northern Illinois
To view our Top Ten Scams of 2012 infographic click here.
CHICAGO, IL- January 8, 2013 – Topping the list of scam activity for 2012 is work-at-home schemes, accounting for over 33-percent of scam inquiries to the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois (BBB). This scam is especially tempting to people that are out of work or in need of additional income. Coming in a close second, with 30-percent of scam inquires, is advance fee brokers. Advance fee brokers are usually, if not always, empty promises of a personal or business loan requiring payment of a fee in advance. This scam attracts vulnerable consumers that need cash urgently.The BBB's Top Ten Scams are ranked based on number of specific inquiries made by consumers to provide insight on the deceptive and sometimes illegal business practices in 2012.
"In 2012, many consumers were still working on improving their financial situations in these challenging economic times," said Steve J. Bernas, president & CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Chicago and Northern Illinois. "Scammers were ready to capitalize on this vulnerability and take advantage of consumers.
Bernas explained, "Being aware that these scams exist is extremely important so that people can avoid becoming a victim and losing money or personal financial information."
The complete list of Top Ten Scams in 2012 from the BBB includes:
"Remember, before giving any company credit or debit card information, the BBB recommends reviewing the business fully to avoid potential billing nightmares," said Bernas. "As always, if an offer seems too good to be true, it probably is."
For more information on these top 10 scams, visit www.bbb.org
As a private, non-profit organization, the purpose of the Better Business Bureau is to promote an ethical marketplace. BBBs help resolve buyer/seller complaints by means of conciliation, mediation and arbitration. BBBs also review advertising claims, online business practices and charitable organizations. BBBs develop and issue reviews on businesses and nonprofit organizations and encourage people to check out a company or charity before making a purchase or donation.

This information comes from the Starlight Theatre website. The Starlight Theatre opened in the 1930's as the Chisos Theater. Movies were shown at the Chisos Theater until it closed in the late 1940's. In 1991 the building was given a "face lift" and re-opened as the Starlight Theatre Restaurant and Bar.

Its the Terlingua Ghost Town. Since they installed the Bar, it now has "spirits". LOL
My buddies and I would go to the Hitching Post every Saturday morning during the late 40's and very early 50's. They showed nothing but "B" Westerns and weekly Serials. I remember they had a sign stating "Check Your Guns At the Box Office" And of course the only attendee's were very preteen boys. I was raised in Santa Monica and have many fond memories of some of the theatres found on this site. Just found the site today and plan on spending many enjoyable hours here!

Sugar Jewelry Is Way Sweet (!) (Kill Me Now)
Greetje van Helmond likes making jewelry. She also likes making candy. And now she's making both at the same time! OMGOOGLE! Using what appear to be a number of scientific looking bongs she grows sugar crystals around strings, forming beautiful candy jewelry. I actually remember having eaten some of these before, but I got it at an amusement park and it came on a wooden stick. It was great until the sugar rush kicked in and I tried to jump out of a roller coaster. Still, I'll give the jewelry model a go. I just ordered a necklace, I'll let you know how glamorous I look.
UPDATE: I woke up in the middle of the night being attacked by a vampire. Luckily I managed to drive a stake through its heart before I got bitten. And yes -- you guessed it! -- it turned out to be my candy-loving wife trying to eat the necklace.

I'm a senior and run a part-time business dealing with bookkeeping and records management for some small private and not-for-profit organizations. Mead products have been part of my work environment for over 40 years and have consistently proven reliable and an important part of my record retention needs. Using "reinforced tab folders" has proven to be the workhorse tool for the long-term sturdy storage of my frequently reviewed documents. Obviously, Mead hasn't let me down and that's a key to long-time customer loyalty something often overlooked in today's outsourced-customer-relations environment.

These file folders are not only simple but durable. In my line of business, we need a folder that gets the job done and doesn't fall apart over time. It needs to last without the quality being compromised as it's moved in and out of the filing cabinet day after day. These are the only files used at my office, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Our organization loves the Smead legal size straight-cut tab manila file folders; they offer so much room to write identifiable information on the tab. We have lots of historically significant loose files and papers that have to be sorted and filed in file folders, and these folders work the best for our needs.

This product has always been a sturdy folder. It lasts for years with constant use. The tabs sometimes get a little worn, but some of these files are 20+ years old. The folders tend to be a little expensive, but cheaper ones do not last. You get what you pay for.

Do you have a lot of filing to do? If so, Smead File Folder Reinforced 1/3-cut tab are the ones for you. They are built strong to withhold alot of wear and tear. I file on a daily basis and i am very happy with the 3 tab to make filing easier. It's nice to open a filing drawer and see the tabs easily, especially with the 1/3 cut. I would recommend this product to anyone who does filing. I use the product at work and at work. I also have over 400 files i work with on a daily basis, and they still hold up and don't bend.

Rated 4 out of 5 Sturdy folders for all purposes
The double-ply tab on these folders helps prevent early wear. They are the same high-quality as other Smead products. The only thing I didn't like about the product is the fact that the tabs are "squared" off and not rounded, so they look like cheaper quality folders.

I work at a school and specifically request these folders to use to make for each student. We hold all their information for the four years there attend.
They last, they are sturdy, and the tabs don't wear out. Compared to other styles, these are definitely the best and they are very durable. Especially for all the disciplinary files and forms that we stuff into these manila folders, these not only last, but they look professional.

The job folders in our business get handled a lot, from the original entry in the system in the sales department to engineering to production to shipping & finally to accounting.

I don't love filing, but with Smead reinforced tab file folders, it makes it a much more meaningful task to do. I can rest assured that I won't have to be replacing the files as often with the reinforced tabs. They are sturdy and priced affordably. Our office uses a lot of file folders based on our type of business, and our file folders are one less thing to worry about knowing we have the Smead to rely on. Thank you for a terrific product.

Christie visits Little Ferry to promote firefighter program [video]
"There are a lot of resources out there, but a lot of people don't know where to turn," said Loesner, a plumber by trade who also plans to volunteer in the program. "You'd be a little bit more comfortable knowing that you are working with a brother firefighter…You won't have to worry about a contactor coming in and taking advantage of you."
Frank Smith, a Moonachie fire chief and a captain on the First Aid Squad, said he has been depleting his savings to renovate his house and the state program could help him save money.
"There is just so much damage," said Smith, who is working with his wife, Debi, and friends to keep the renovation cost below the $60,000 estimate.
"There is just so much to do. Life is still not back to normal. We are talking about months later — and things are not back to normal."
Christie has used visits to firehouses to make several major announcements. On Tuesday, he detailed a $200 million project to replace a stretch of Route 35 in Ocean County from inside the Lavallette Fire Department.
Just a few weeks ago, he announced new post-Sandy rebuilding standards from the Seaside Heights Fire Department. The governor has also been busy touring storm ravaged communities, shining a spotlight on boardwalk replacements, dune replenishments and other efforts to get the Jersey Shore as ready as it can be for the summer tourism season.

Jack Goldsmith (Author)
A central player's account of the clash between the rule of law and the necessity of defending America.
Jack Goldsmith's duty as head of the Office of Legal Counsel was to advise President Bush on what he could and could not do . . . legally. Immediately after taking the job in October 2003, Goldsmith began to see that the work of his predecessors, whose opinions were the legal framework governing the conduct of the military and intelligence agencies in the war on terror, were deeply flawed.
"Chilling. . . . The portrait of the Bush administration that Mr. Goldsmith draws in this book is a devastating one. . . . Illuminating." — Michiko Kakutani, New York Times

Numerical Matrices Method for Nonlinear System Identification and Description of Dynamics of Biochemical Reaction Networks Biophysical Journal, Volume 92, Issue 10, 15 May 2007, Pages 3459-3473 Alexey V. Karnaukhov, Elena V. Karnaukhova and James R. Williamson Abstract A flexible Numerical Matrices Method (NMM) for nonlinear system identification has been developed based on a description of the dynamics of the system in terms of kinetic complexes. A set of related methods are presented that include increasing amounts of prior information about the reaction network structure, resulting in increased accuracy of the reconstructed rate constants. The NMM is based on an analytical least squares solution for a set of linear equations to determine the rate parameters. In the absence of prior information, all possible unimolecular and bimolecular reactions among the species in the system are considered, and the elements of a general kinetic matrix are determined. Inclusion of prior information is facilitated by formulation of the kinetic matrix in terms of a stoichiometry matrix or a more general set of representation matrices. A method for determination of the stoichiometry matrix beginning only with time-dependent concentration data is presented. In addition, we demonstrate that singularities that arise from linear dependencies among the species can be avoided by inclusion of data collected from a number of different initial states. The NMM provides a flexible set of tools for analysis of complex kinetic data, in particular for analysis of chemical and biochemical reaction networks. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (196 kb) |
Versatility and Connectivity Efficiency of Bipartite Transcription Networks Biophysical Journal, Volume 91, Issue 8, 15 October 2006, Pages 2749-2759 Mark P. Brynildsen, Linh M. Tran and James C. Liao Abstract The modulation of promoter activity by DNA-binding transcription regulators forms a bipartite network between the regulators and genes, in which a smaller number of regulators control a much lager number of genes. To facilitate representation of gene expression data with the simplest possible network structure, we have characterized the ability of bipartite networks to describe data. This has led to the classification of two types of bipartite networks, versatile and nonversatile. Versatile networks can describe any data of the same rank, and are indistinguishable from one another. Nonversatile networks require constraints to be present in data they describe, which may be used to distinguish between different network topologies. By quantifying the ability of bipartite networks to represent data we were able to define connectivity efficiency, which is a measure of how economic the use of connections is within a network with respect to data representation and generation. We postulated that it may be desirable for an organism to maximize its gene expression range per network edge, since development of a regulatory connection may have some evolutionary cost. We found that the transcriptional regulatory networks of both Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli lie close to their respective connectivity efficiency maxima, suggesting that connectivity efficiency may have some evolutionary influence.

Muscle contraction underlies many essential functions such as breathing, heart beating, locomotion, regulation of blood pressure, and airway resistance. Active shortening of muscle is the result of cycling of myosin cross-bridges that leads to sliding of myosin filaments relative to actin filaments. In this study, we have developed a computer program that allows us to alter the rates of transitions between any cross-bridge-states in a stochastic cycle. The cross-bridge states within the cycle are divided into six attached (between myosin cross-bridges and actin filaments) states and one detached state. The population of cross-bridges in each of the states is determined by the transition rates throughout the cycle; differential equations describing the transitions are set up as a cyclic matrix. A method for rapidly obtaining steady-state exact solutions for the cyclic matrix has been developed to reduce computation time and avoid the divergence problem associated with numerical solutions. In the seven-state model, two power strokes are assumed for each cross-bridge cycle, one before the release of inorganic phosphate, and one after. The characteristic hyperbolic force-velocity relationship observed in muscle contraction can be reproduced by the model. Deviation from the single hyperbolic behavior at low velocities can be mimicked by allowing the rate of cross-bridge-attachment to vary with velocity. The effects of [ATP], [ADP], and [Pi] are simulated by changing transition rates between specific states. The model has revealed new insights on how the force-velocity characteristics are related to the state transitions in the cross-bridge cycle.

Having risen to the rank of major in the British army and survived several campaigns and serious injury in World War II, Roy Bates was living a quiet life in an Essex, England, village when he decided to turn to pirate radio in the 1960s. This led him to co-opt an old World War II outpost in the North Sea as his own country, the Principality of Sealand, and declare himself and his family the reigning monarchs.
"I might die young or I might die old, but I will never die of boredom."
Early Life
Certainly there was no fanfare that a new monarch was born when Paddy Roy Bates came into the world on August 29, 1921. Born to a meat market salesman and his wife in the western London, England, suburb of Ealing where he also grew up, Bates joined the International Brigade to fight against Franco in the Spanish Civil War when he was 15 (but lying about his age).
After later officially joining the British army in the first battalion Royal Fusiliers, Roy Bates rose to the rank of major while serving on various fronts in World War II, including campaigns in Italy and with the Eighth Army in North Africa. "He survived frostbite, malaria, snakebites and a German bomb that shattered his jaw so badly a surgeon told him no woman would ever love him," noted National Public Radio correspondent Scott Simon.
After the war, however, Bates proved the doctor wrong by marrying a beauty queen named Joan and settling into civilian life in Essex, where he built fishing boats and imported beef and rubber into his war-weary country.
Radio Pirate
That is, until 1965, when Bates got it into his head that he wanted to be a disc jockey pirate. Perhaps emboldened by the launch of Radio Caroline, he staged a coup at Radio City on Knock John Tower—another of the many naval defense platforms the British had built during WWII—and founded the first pirate radio station to provide 24-hour entertainment, which included the Beatles and the Kinks, music doled out in small doses by the BBC.
His venture, called Radio Essex, which used an old United States Air Force radio beacon to broadcast, was renamed Britain's Better Music Station in October 1966, but was short-lived. Bates was convicted of violating the Wireless Telegraphy Act of 1949 and fined for illegal broadcasting, causing the station to go off the air.
Instant Royalty
But Bates was undeterred and moved to another abandoned offshore outpost farther out: Fort Roughs Tower, located outside England's territorial waters in the North Sea. Instead of making it a radio station, however, Bates declared Fort Roughs its own sovereign nation, the Principality of Sealand, on September 2, 1967, dubbing himself Prince Roy and his wife Princess Joan (it was her birthday).
As sovereign ruler of Sealand, Prince Roy created a national flag, passports, stamps, coins with Joan's profile and a motto, "E Mare Libertas" ("From the Sea, Freedom"). He even commissioned a national anthem.
But claiming a country is not without some strife, even if it is only a 5,000-square-foot steel platform on top of two concrete pilings with nary a tree in sight.

For that amount I could have stayed at Circus Circus and enjoyed the luxury and benefits from a big name casino. Not only does it not have a kitchen, it doesn't have the basics a hotel room has such as mini frig, microwave, and coffee pot. It's a scaled down version of a casino and hotel with the same prices as the big names ones. Vegas has better deals than this. "

The Year Ahead in Golf: 2014
Our annual round of bold predictions for the year in golf that lies ahead. Let the prognosticating begin!
It was sent out as a text, a fleeting message between friends, but it read like a rallying cry for a generation. "This is our time," Adam Scott wrote to his buddy Justin Rose last spring after Scott won the 2013 Masters. A bold declaration. But we had heard claims like it before. Remember when Sergio Garcia was the heir apparent, the prince poised to claim golf's gilded throne? Never mind. Rory McIlroy came next, another fresh-faced firebrand. He rose to No. 1, then tumbled hard. Surely, the pattern would repeat again. But a funny thing happened in the wake of Scott's pronouncement. The man looked prescient. Rose won the U.S. Open, Jason Dufner claimed the year's final major, and someone not named Tiger (Henrik Stenson) seized the FedEx, holding off a feisty challenge from 20-year-old Jordan Spieth. So, is this finally it? Has a new generation at long last arrived? Or will they, too, fade - contenders turned pretenders?
Prediction: It really is their time, and this season will furnish us with further proof, says Cameron Morfit, who covers the Tour for Golf Magazine. "Guys like Adam Scott, Justin Rose, and Jordan Spieth are not going to slow down," Morfit says. "They are the new guard and they are not going anywhere. They don't care how unbeatable Tiger used to be."
On paper, at least, the 2014 major calendar looks good for Tiger Woods. He has collected titles at three of the four venues and notched high finishes at the fourth. So will this be the year that El Tigre finally ends his five-year major drought? Not according to Damon Hack, co-host of Golf Channel's "Morning Drive," whose 2014 forecast leaves Tiger high and dry.
Major: The Masters
Where: Augusta National Golf Club, Augusta, Ga.
When: April 7-13
Who will win: Jason Day
Why: "He has been so close to the green jacket the past two years, and I really believe his time has arrived. He hits it long. He hits it high. He is fearless and aggressive. Throw in the experience he now has under his belt, and this kid has everything it takes."
Major: U.S. Open
Where: Pinehurst No. 2, Village of Pinehurst, N.C.
When: June 12-15
Who will win: Phil Mickelson
Why: "He has been runner-up six times at the U.S. Open, the one major he has missing for the career grand slam. If you believe in fairy tales and fate, you have to believe that Phil is going to finally get his due. When the final putt drops, cue the celebratory trumpets and balloons."
Major: British Open
Where: Royal Liverpool Golf Club, Hoylake, U.K.
When: July 17-20
Who will win: Brandt Snedeker
Why: "There is a learning curve when it comes to playing links golf, and Snedeker is a quick study. He has come close in the event before, can putt the eyes out, and loves the quirks and idiosyncrasies of links golf. Snedeker's idol is Tom Watson, who won five Opens. Look for Snedeker to get his first."
Major: PGA Championship
Where: Valhalla Golf Club, Louisville, Ky.
When: Aug. 7-10
Who will win: Jordan Spieth
Why: "The kid is only 20 but he has won at every level of the game and he got his first PGA Tour victory last year. He's the real deal and has proven he can rise to the occasion when it matters most."
Back in the good old days, golf was played to a soothing soundtrack: polite applause and appreciative gasps from the gallery, punctuated by the periodic roar. Not anymore. What began with an encouraging "You da man!" has swelled into a chorus of unruly exclamations such as "Mashed potatoes!" and "Baba Booey," a buzz phrase borrowed from Howard Stern's show. Is enough enough?
Prediction: You bet, says Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee, who expects the powers that be to crack down on the cacophony. "All the shouting has gotten out of hand," he says, "and I think the Tour recognizes that. They are going to start laying down the law, saying to fans, 'Come on in. Enjoy yourselves. But if you can't show proper respect for the event and the competitors, we are going to ask you to leave.' "
The USGA ban on anchored putting doesn't take effect until 2016, but it's never too early to prepare. Already, several top players who use anchored belly putters have started tinkering with conventional flat-sticks, including Swedish star Carl Pettersson and former U.S. Open champion Webb Simpson. Simpson has been practicing with a short putter in casual weekend matches at North Carolina's Quail Hollow, his home club. Is this the making of a 2014 trend? For sure, says Golf Channel's Hack. "A lot of guys who have had success with the belly putter will be walking a fine line," he says. "On the one hand, they want to cash in while their putters are still legal. On the other, they know what's coming and want to get ready for it." Who'll be next to tinker?
Prediction: Keegan Bradley. "He used a conventional putter growing up, and he has said he's not afraid to use it," Hack says. "So don't be surprised to see the man who won the 2011 PGA Championship with a long putter show up with something shorter in his bag this year."
Forget Phil and Tiger. The most compelling golf performance last year came from a contender of a different gender: Inbee Park. The South Korean golfer's three consecutive LPGA major championship victories riveted fans around the globe.
But Park's achievement was so stunning, she's not likely to repeat it, says Golf Channel analyst and two-time U.S. Women's Amateur champion Kay Cockerill. "Inbee is a wonderful player, but part of the reason she was able to do what she did was that she was flying under the radar," Cockerill says. "When she won her third, the pressure and awareness of what she was doing finally hit home with full force." So what will the new year bring?
Prediction: Cockerill believes that after much-needed downtime this winter Park will come out strong next season, likely with a win in a non-major. But maintaining her No. 1 ranking will be tough, especially with multiple-major winners Stacy Lewis and Suzann Pettersen in hot pursuit. Both Lewis and Pettersen "have the mental and physical strength to always be in the mix, and for them it will be fun to try and take Inbee down," Cockerill says.
Ever since last summer, when Fox Sports acquired the rights to broadcast the U.S. Open beginning in 2015, inquiring minds have wondered: Which announcers will work the tower? Joe Buck, a big golf fan, seems like a shoo-in for the play-by-play job, and the leading candidate for color commentary appears to be Greg Norman. At least according to the Great White Shark, who told reporters he had been offered the gig. So, that's that, right? Wrong, says Golfweek television columnist Martin Kaufmann, who expects a non-Australian accent to ring in our ears.
Prediction: The versatile Buck will call the action, Kaufmann says, but commentary will come from famed instructor - and Tiger Woods' former swing coach - Butch Harmon, who, unlike Norman, is a seasoned analyst, having worked for Sky Sports in Europe since the mid-'90s. "Butch has experience, he has star power, and he knows the game in and out," Kaufmann says. "He would be good for a network that's going to want to make a splash."
Tiger Woods is set to cut the ribbon this fall on El Cardonal, a course he designed at the swish Diamante private retreat in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, which already features a highly rated 18 holes designed by Davis Love III.
Prediction: "This course will appeal to architecture purists, not just big-game hunters who say, 'Hey, I want to play a course designed by Tiger Woods,' " says Joe Passov, Golf Magazine's chief architecture critic. "It's a spectacular desert setting of cacti and canyons with the Pacific Ocean as the backdrop."
Televised sport is true reality TV, with some viewers treating the action as interactive, phoning in to report rules violations they witness on their screens. But how much outside input should tournament officials take? The issue started simmering last spring at the Masters; a viewer phoned in to report a dubious drop by Tiger, who incurred a two-stroke penalty. PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem has said that phone-ins can be "difficult and awkward" and has promised the Tour will study the matter. How will this ruling go?
Prediction: Tour officials will keep answering the phone, says John Maginnes, a former Tour player turned host of "Maginnes on Tap" on Sirius XM Satellite Radio. "The last thing the Tour wants is to tune in to SportsCenter later that evening and find out they got a ruling wrong."
The Ryder Cup used to be a biennial beatdown, with the U.S. dominating for decades, followed by a healthy stretch of European rule. Credit the FedEx Cup for closer competition more recently. The fall playoff series gives the pros reason to keep their games sharp late into the season, sparking Ryder Cup play like we witnessed in 2012 at Medinah, where the Europeans mounted a miracle Sunday comeback. In 2014, when play returns to Europe at a renovated Gleneagles in Scotland, expect it to come down to the wire again, says Golf Magazine's Morfit.
Prediction: Team USA wins. "Yes, the Europeans have won the last two Cups, but the Americans were just a roll of the ball away from winning both," Morfit says. "If you look at the math it took for the Europeans to win last time, it really was a miracle. That kind of lightning strike won't hit the Americans this time around."
Fifty isn't just the new 40. In the men's game, it is a major milestone for a pro golfer, marking his transition from the PGA Tour's fierce competition to the greener pastures of the Champions circuit. Just how green? In 2013, Bernhard Langer topped the senior money list, earning $1.8 million. It's pretty much Tour custom for aging pros to downplay their interest in the Champions Tour. Until they turn 50, when their tunes change. Of this year's big-name birthday boys, look for Stephen Ames, Billy Andrade, and Lee Janzen to tee it up with gusto on the Champions Tour. As for the biggest name of all - Davis Love III - so far, he's insisting that he won't.
Prediction: Can't buy me Love? We'll see about that. At some point this season, the temptation will be too great to resist, and DL3 will tee it up on the Champions Tour.
Like Benjamin Button, women's golf standouts keep getting younger. So which teen star to watch out for next? Beth Ann Baldry, who covers the women for Golfweek, sees three on the horizon: Charley Hull, the English 17-year-old who helped Europe win the 2013 Solheim Cup; 18-year-old Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand, a big hitter whose older sister, Moriya, plays on the LPGA Tour; and 16-year-old Lydia Ko, who won the 2012 and 2013 CN Canadian Women's Open and finished second at the 2013 Evian Championship, the year's final major. Born in South Korea but raised in New Zealand, Ko had planned to stay in school and retain her amateur status but gave in to temptation and turned pro last fall.
Prediction: The sky's the limit for Ko, according to Baldry, who expects a victory or two for the teen star, maybe even a major. "She has shown she can handle the pressure of the biggest stages," Baldry says.

This amazing shirt is as profound as it is intricate! This design features the bold message: "Power to the living foolish to the dying," accented with specs of foil. This highly detailed shirt describes where our strength comes from - the cross. The living are those that believe that Jesus died for our sins, while the dying are those that have rejected the Lord. The scripture referenced is 1 Corinthians 1:18 which reads: "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."

BootCamp, no Keyboard/Trackpad Tab
I have recently installed BootCamp on my mac, I installed Windows7 with the build in Boot Camp Asisstant. When I got into windows, i installed the drivers with the Mac Snow Leopard disk. And it seemed to go just fine. But now if I try to acces the Control Panel on Windows, I cannot see the Keyboard or Trackpad Tab. Internet does not work, so it doesen't seem like the drivers worked at all. Can you please help me resolve this? Thanks in advance. From Sebastian |

The Snow Leopard disc you are using, retail version or gray disc? If your Mac shipped with 10.6, you should use the gray disc not the retail version to install the drivers. If you did use the right disc, try downloading the Boot Camp updates from Apple's site: 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3. Note that 3.1 and 3.2 have different downloads depending on whether you have the 32- or 64-bit version of Windows installed.

I imagine that, at any rate, the drivers on the Snow Leopard disc are pretty outdated. Is there no option for you under Boot Camp Assistant to download the latest support drivers to wherever? If you direct those to a flash drive and then run the executable under Windows, they should work properly.

Hillary Clinton may be out of the presidential race, but West Virginia's Democrats will be adding some names to her roster of national convention delegates this weekend.
That's because the party is holding its state convention today and Saturday, and will carry out the will of their voters in the May 13 primary.
Clinton beat Barack Obama with 67 percent of the vote. That means that she'll get 20 of the 29 national delegates selected at the state meeting.
Obama will get eight. An additional super delegate will also be chosen who isn't pledged automatically to either candidate.
Clinton suspended her campaign last week and endorsed Obama. But her delegates to the August national convention in Denver remain hers until she releases them.

Song Stories
Girls | 2011
Christopher Owens delves into romantic dejection and his Christian upbringing with a biblical reference and this brooding song on Father, Son, Holy Ghost, his second album as half of the duo Girls. "It's about an obsessive, unhealthy need for co-dependency," Owens said. An acoustic guitar and pleading vocals gives way to organs and a gospel choir on the song. The title "Vomit" comes from the Bible, in which King Solomon says, "As a dog returns to his vomit, so does a fool return to his folly." This reminded Owens of a past relationship: "She doesn't want me anymore, but I was like a dog returning to my vomit every time."

A photo "The Flat" director Arnon Goldfinger found of his grandfather while still in Germany.
"The Flat" opens at the Landmark Varsity Theatre in Seattle on November 16. Check your local listings for showtimes.
For those of us far enough removed from the generations of Jews and Germans who lived through the extraordinary horrors of the 1930s–1940s, it is nearly impossible for us to wrap our brains around Holocaust denial. It is difficult to imagine that the tragedy and horrors of that time would not be something revealed to our generation by those who lived through it. But that deeply unimaginable horror has kept many of us in the dark all these years later. When we think of all of the Jews and Germans who have come forward years later to tell their stories and make sure that we never forget, we sometimes do forget about those who suffered in silence for fear of remembering what they went through. Filmmaker Arnon Goldfinger found a unique opportunity to use his masterful ability for storytelling through documentary film when his 90-year-old German grandmother died in Tel Aviv. Goldfinger was a first-generation Israeli after his grandparents emigrated from Berlin in the mid-1930s. Having grown up with no knowledge of his grandparents' history in Germany before World War II, Goldfinger uncovers information, bit by bit, about his grandmother and grandfather that shocks and disturbs him. The Tuchlers — Goldfinger's grandparents —worked with a German couple, the von Mildensteins, to convince Jews to move to Palestine in the early- to mid-1930s. While the von Mildensteins' true intentions with these transports remain unclear even after World War II breaks out, according to the propaganda papers Goldfinger finds, this strategy was all part of the Nazi plan to rid Germany of the "Jewish problem." Despite the von Mildensteins' dubious connection to the Nazis, Goldfinger uncovers evidence that the Tuchlers and von Mildensteins continued to communicate and remain friends well into the 1950s. For him, the idea that Jews could maintain a friendship with possible Nazi collaborators after the war is mindboggling. Goldfinger's effort to not only uncover as much as he can about his grandparents' past, but also to wrap his mind around the apparent denial of this past by both his mother and the von Mildensteins' daughter, makes for an extremely compelling documentary. Again, we are familiar with stories of survivors coming forward with their stories, but we're less accustomed to stories of those who deeply denied and kept their history buried. Goldfinger struggles with how to approach the von Mildensteins' daughter, Edda, who never asked her parents about their involvement in the war. He struggles even more with his own mother's disinterest in her parents' past, the truth about her grandmother's death at the hands of the Nazis, and the fact that she never asked questions about all of this while growing up. Goldfinger captures his subjects' generational distinctions. The two women — Goldfinger's mother Hannah and Edda von Mildenstein — point out how difficult it was for not only the generation that lived through the Holocaust to talk about what happened, but also the difficulty the next generation had asking questions. The subject was forbidden in many households and it wasn't until the third generation became discontented with merely accepting the silence that people began to act upon their need for answers. Many of the questions about the Tuchlers' story go unanswered, as Goldfinger realizes that without knowing what truths were told between his grandparents and the friends they kept in touch with in Germany after the war, he cannot know many things for sure. But these truths become less important to him than the way his mother emotionally responds and deals with these revealed secrets. "The Flat" is an eloquently orchestrated documentary about how human beings cope with the reality of the Holocaust in a unique way we do not see often in film.

Anyway well done Rogue Shadow.
Posted 07 October 2012 - 01:48 PM
Changed by headlight bulbs to Halfords Extreme Brilliance and sidelights to Halfords laser blue while I was at it.
The white clip isn't too bad although I can only assume the unit is clipped back into it when I replaced the unit as the rivet and bolts lined up fine. You can't actually see the bottom of the headlamp unit to be sure.
This is the first car I have change the dipped beam bulbs in myself, much easier when you can take the whole unit inside and so it on your kitchen table rather than trying to stand on your head and do it all by feel by the car
With the nights drawing in I thought it was about time I swapped out the OEM bulbs which, although fine in town, seem to have a pretty short hot spot out in the sticks.

Old school really distributor/coil era, i.e. Ford Anglia, Escort Mk2.
Anyway just bought a Fiesta 2009 1.4 Auto for my wife, 14K excellent condition.
I was looking at how to change the bulbs out of curiosity, especially the n/s.
Now I would not normally suggest this, but for £6.99 it might be amusing to watch Halfords staff trying to change the front lamps!
Posted 26 October 2012 - 06:49 PM
Oh and btw, the side-light is a beeoch to get out
Posted 27 October 2012 - 02:35 PM
This is the indicator bulb, to remove it, one turn anti-clockwise... while not handling the glass. There is ONE way the bulb will fit into the holder again. Line up the notches on the bulb with the gaps on the holder. Slot in and turn clockwise. Done
Now line up the tabs of the holder with the headlight and put it back in the headlight. This is abit fiddle. Take your time, line up the plastic tabs and you'll feel it go into the headlight. Then its one turn clockwise the lock it in place and seal the deal.
Do the bulbs have offset tabs or not? I have bulbs that I was going to fit to my Focus but gave up and now want to de-tango my Fiesta and I'm not sure if the bulbs will fit......
p.s the bulbs I have for it do NOT have off set tabs.

Emergency response
Life can change for millions of families in an instant: natural disasters take loved ones and the outbreak of war drives families from their homes. When the unthinkable happens, Mercy Corps delivers rapid, lifesaving aid to hard-hit communities.
We have responded to almost every global disaster in the last 20 years, including the Japan tsunami, Haiti earthquake, hunger crisis in the Horn of Africa, Indian Ocean tsunami, and most recently, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

We're also working to support nearly two million people affected by the crisis in Syria, a long-term humanitarian disaster with no end in site. Learn more about our ongoing response to the Syrian refugee crisis ▸

Too Much Weiner in Your Media Diet?
Or not enough?
If it were 1991 and not 2011, the Columbia Journalism Review, America's editorial pages, Paul Harvey, the halls of academe, and other guardians of good taste and morals would be chastising the press for its coverage of the frothy "sex scandal" that has made Rep. Anthony Weiner and the Twitter crotch shot national punch lines. Imagine their tut-tuts:
Adds nothing to the national discussion.
A private matter.
A tasteless act—if the member of Congress indeed sent the picture—but not "news."
Tabloid silliness.
Back in those pre-Internet times, an elected official had to get arrested or do something completely loopy in public—like drive his car off a bridge at Chappaquiddick—before the press corps would go sensationalistic. Rep. Wilbur Mills, D-Ark., got the treatment after he crashed his car and his passenger, stripper Fanne Foxe, ran away from the scene and jumped into the Tidal Basin. * Reps. Dan Crane, R-Ill., and Gerry Studds, D-Mass., generated oceans of yellow coverage after getting busted for having sex with congressional pages (Crane with a female, Studds with a male). After Rep. Donald E. (Buz) Lukens, R-Ohio, was charged and convicted for having sex with a 16-year-old girl, the press could not get enough of the story.
In reporting these stories, the press corps would almost always feign distaste as they tore through court files to collect as many sordid details as they could for publication until the relevance window started to close.
The press corps' prudishness or self-censorship or conditional exploitation—or whatever you want to call it—had more to do with publishers' fears that they might offend big advertisers than it did with ethics debates inside the newsroom. If 100 subscribers canceled because they were offended by prurient coverage, the offending newspaper would survive. But if one or two big department stores withdrew their advertisements because they didn't like seeing their full-page ads next to congressional sex coverage, a newspaper's bottom line could unravel.
Of course many publishers believed in the wholesome presentation of news of the depraved, so their guidelines weren't complete fig leaves. One of the most Victorian set of editorial principles in print were composed by Washington Post owner Eugene Meyer in 1935 and published on the front page of the Washington Post. They remain on display in the Post lobby to this day.
Among the seven principles laid out by Meyer, these were designed to govern coverage of the salacious:
As a disseminator of news, the paper shall observe the decencies that are obligatory upon a private gentleman.
What it prints shall be fit reading for the young as well as the old.
As fusty as the principles may sound today, I can remember them being quoted in earnest over the phone by a Washington Post managing editor in the early 1990s (Hi, Bob!) who was answering my questions about Post coverage. I'm sure that "the decencies that are obligatory upon a private gentleman" was easily interpreted in the 1930s. What it means today, I have no idea. A private gentleman does not ask impertinent questions. He does not compile dossiers on other citizens. He rarely attempts to find evidence that would get a senator or CEO thrown in jail. Post gentlemen and gentlewomen do this daily.
The second of the two principles—read in any decade, past or future—sounds paternalistic and patronizing because it is. But you can see the appeal. By promising to keep the Post and its readers out of the gutter, the Meyer principles short-leash those reporters and editors who might want to explore the territories where squalor and turpitude thrive. In practice, the Post and every other "quality" daily in the country evade Meyerian principles by writing in code when reporting stories about adultery, degeneracy, iniquity, vice, and the other human mainstays. If you know the code, you're exposed to the filth and the fury. A more honest version of Meyer's principle about the young and the old would read, "What the paper prints shall sate the prurient interests of the old without being comprehensible to the young who don't read newspapers anymore anyhow."

UPDATE: This is happening sooner than we thought! The new design will be put in place on Thursday. 10/18!!! Expect the site to be down from 8:30am Pacific - 4pm Pacific.
In the next week or so, Mothering is going to be getting a new look!
We are very excited about this change, as it will bring us increased functionality as well!
This new site design will give us a new homepage that will integrate the website and the community in a way we haven't had before. This will make it easier to find content from past issues, blogs, and other articles.
We have a sneak peek for everyone, though keep in mind that these screen shots are from a test environment, and things may still change a bit.
