Our first hastily-assembled compendium of last-minute rambling links, free stuff and semi-naked women was all the way back in January 2001. Frankly, it wasn't that great, although it did have a brilliant link in it to that Eminem and Frank Butcher bootleg.
Since then, we've posted naked pictures of a ginger civil servant that forced him to get married, won several industry awards, pissed off the entire country of Bulgaria, given away millions of pounds worth of free swag, "ruined Comic Relief" according to a senior BBC executive, and been (unsuccessfully) served by lawyers a total of seven times.
So while we're still here, and can still afford those lawyers, sign up and join over 200,000 people every week who are the first to hear our rather skewed version of "the news". Come on in!

A stack of books. hide caption itoggle caption iStockphoto.com Close Out The Year With Some Best-Selling Last Words As the year comes to an end, NPR librarian Kee Malesky shares closing lines from some great novels — those last few moments spent with a story that you love.
She Was The Only Woman To Get The Medal Of Honor November 25, 2012 In all of American history, just one woman has ever been awarded the Medal of Honor: Mary Edwards Walker, a physician during the Civil War. Congress later tried to take back the medal, but she refused to return it.
The Strangely True Tale Of Johnny Appleseed October 20, 2012 He's legend now, but the man was as odd as his myth. Long-haired, barefoot and nature-loving, John Chapman traveled the Midwest in the early 1800s planting trees and creating orchards for future settlers.
Antietam 'Death Studies' Changed How We Saw War September 15, 2012 In mid-September 1862, the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of the Potomac clashed on the banks of Antietam Creek, just outside Sharpsburg, Md., in a battle that became the nation's bloodiest day. Two photographers documented the carnage in an unprecedented series of "death studies."
Feathers And Rubber Bands: A Golf Ball Story August 11, 2012 Slice, hook, eagle, birdie, bogey, putt. Golf's top pros are in the final rounds of the 2012 PGA Championship this weekend in South Carolina, so let's take a look at the fascinating history of one fundamental piece of equipment.
Live Pigeon Shooting And Other Odd Olympic Games July 28, 2012 The International Olympic Committee came up with some rather unusual sporting events for the 1900 Paris Games — including one that would probably be considered shocking today.
Follow The Money: On The Trail Of Watergate Lore June 16, 2012 Deep Throat whispered "follow the money" to reporter Bob Woodward during the investigation of Watergate, the third-rate burglary that brought down the Nixon administration. Or did he? An NPR librarian launched her own investigation.
How Swiss Guards And Sacred Geese Saved Rome May 6, 2012 From Gauls to Goths to soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire, many outsiders have tried to destroy the Eternal City, with varying degrees of success. Rome has been defended repeatedly, by courageous fighters and once by a flock of geese. May 6 is the anniversary of the last and most devastating sacking of Rome.
How A Thousand Points Of Light Lit The National Tree December 24, 2011 Billions of brilliant lights sparkle on houses and trees around the nation as people celebrate the Christmas season. Those lights have also given American presidents reason to joyfully flip the switch on the national tree for nearly 90 years.
How Many Gills In A Cubic Dekameter? October 9, 2011 It's time to celebrate millimeters, kilograms, liters and hectares! it's National Metric Week, and the U.S. stands almost alone in its lack of affection for the Système international d'unités. Serious repercussions have resulted; just ask NASA about their Mars Orbiter.
An American Rebellion, Sparked By Tough Times August 28, 2011 Times are hard. The economy's a mess. Citizens are frustrated with the government. Politicians make speeches, but nothing seems to change. People object to having the nation's debt on their shoulders, and they take to the streets to show their anger. The Tea Party in 2011? No, Shays' Rebellion in 1786.
The First Supercomputer Vs. 'The Desk Set' June 19, 2011 UNIVAC, short for Universal Automatic Computer, was put into service 60 years ago this week. NPR librarian Kee Malesky says librarians have a special relationship with electronic brains — thanks to a romantic comedy starring Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy.
Lawn Jockeys: The Kentucky Derby's Earliest Stars May 7, 2011 "The most exciting two minutes in sports" has its own dress code: If you want to enter the Jockey Club, the Finish Line suites or the Turf Club, it's no jeans, shorts or tennis shoes allowed. We're not so picky here, though, so chug that mint julep and grab a slice of Derby pie, because NPR librarian Kee Malesky is taking us to the races!
The Civil War's First Death Was An Accident April 9, 2011 April 14 marks the date 150 years ago that the first person was killed in the Civil War. But there's more to the story, and NPR's heralded research librarian Kee Malesky has a special connection to it. Listen Loading… Download Playlist
How D.C.'s Cherry Blossoms Almost Didn't Bloom March 26, 2011 It was a gift of friendship more than 100 years ago that eventually led to the National Cherry Blossom Festival. NPR librarian Kee Malesky tells us how the first of D.C.'s most famous trees suffered a disastrous fate.
A Library Saved And More About Egypt March 4, 2011 Kee Malesky, NPR's longest-serving librarian, tells us about a strange goopy substance, the Suez Canal and an act of heroism in Egypt that had librarians worldwide cheering.
Author Interviews 'All Facts Considered' By NPR's Longtime Librarian October 23, 2010 Did you know that the average American drinks 22.7 gallons of coffee a year? Or that watermelons are vegetables? Kee Malesky does. For 20 years, Malesky, NPR's longest-serving librarian, has done the research to keep us all accurate. She compiles her favorite bits of "inessential knowledge" in a new book.

Harbour Grace's First Aviators
May 1919
"The Field of Dreams" In the fateful year of 1927, just eight years after the monstrous Handley Page flight was discontinued, Harbour Grace was once again approached with the option of entering the conquest of the Atlantic Ocean. Fred Koehler, a representative of Stintson Aircraft Corporation and Waco Oil, both located in Detroit, was in Newfoundland searching for a suitable place to launch his dreams of an around the world flight. During his visit he met John Oke, a resident of Harbour Grace, who led Mr. Koehler to where the airstrip is today. First Flight on the Airstrip Aug 27, 1927 First International Flight
June 25, 1928
The Second Coming

August 8, 1933 The Limits of Human Bravery
December 24, 1927
The Spirit of Harbour Grace was manufactured in 1943 by Douglas Aircraft Company in Santa Monica, California. The plane was on charge to the United States Air Force effective January 11, 1943 and it served in North Africa until the end of the war in 1945. It was then purchased by Resort Airlines in the United States and later by Leeward Aeronautical Service and Lake Central Airlines as a C-47 Cargo Aircraft. In 1951 it was purchased by a Canadian company and modified as a DC-3 Douglas in California.
The dirt strip is not used much anymore. The grass has grown over and to hear a plane in the sky is almost as foreign as a UFO sighting. Many dreams were accomplished and lost on the pages of history by those brave daredevils who went all the way. A lot has been accomplished in the previous century, now it is time to face a new one. The material herein was prepared under the direction of Harbour Grace Tourism - Youth Service Canada Grant (Human Resources Development Canada).

Press Releases
Seminal Fluid Increases Gonorrhea Infectivity
WASHINGTON, DC – March 4, 2014 – Researchers have come a step closer to understanding how gonorrhea infections are transmitted. When Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacteria responsible for gonorrhea, are exposed to seminal plasma, the liquid part of semen containing secretions from the male genital tract, they can more easily move and start to colonize. The research, led by investigators at Northwestern University in Chicago, appears in mBio®, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology.
Fossilized Human Feces from 14th Century Contain Antibiotic Resistance Genes
WASHINGTON, DC – February 27, 2014 – A team of French investigators has discovered viruses containing genes for antibiotic resistance in a fossilized fecal sample from 14th century Belgium, long before antibiotics were used in medicine. They publish their findings ahead of print in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology.
Harvested Rainwater Harbors Pathogens
WASHINGTON, DC – February 26, 2014 – South Africa has been financing domestic rainwater harvesting tanks in informal low-income settlements and rural areas in five of that nation's nine provinces. But pathogens inhabit such harvested rainwater, potentially posing a public health hazard, especially for children and immunocompromised individuals, according to a team from the University of Stellenbosch. The research was published ahead of print in Applied and Environmental Microbiology.
Vinegar Kills Tuberculosis and Other Mycobacteria
WASHINGTON, DC–February 25, 2014– The active ingredient in vinegar, acetic acid, can effectively kill mycobacteria, even highly drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis, an international team of researchers from Venezuela, France, and the US reports in mBio®, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology.
MERS Virus Widespread in Saudi Arabian Camels
WASHINGTON, DC – February 25, 2014 – The coronavirus responsible for Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) is prevalent in camels throughout Saudi Arabia and has been around for at least 20 years, according to a study to be published in mBio®, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology.
Breast Cancer Drug Fights Fungal Disease
WASHINGTON, DC – February 11, 2014 – Tamoxifen, a drug currently used to treat breast cancer, also kills a fungus that causes a deadly brain infection in immunocompromised patients. The findings, which could lead to new treatments for a disease that kills more HIV/AIDS patients than tuberculosis, appear in mBio®, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM.)
Long Distance Signals Protect Brain from Viral Infections
WASHINGTON, DC – February 10, 2014 – The brain contains a defense system that prevents at least two unrelated viruses—and possibly many more—from invading the brain at large. The research is published online ahead of print in the Journal of Virology.
Source of Chlamydia Reinfections May Be GI Tract
WASHINGTON, DC – February 6, 2014 – The current standard of care treatment for chlamydia sometimes fails to eradicate the disease, according to a review published ahead of print in Infection and Immunity, and the culprit may be in the gut.
Science Teaching Goes Viral: Alternative Course Increases Undergraduate Retention
WASHINGTON, DC – February 4, 2014 – An alternative approach to the traditional introductory laboratory course at the undergraduate level significantly increases student retention rates, according to research published in mBioÒ, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology.
Bacterial Toxin a Potential Trigger for Multiple Sclerosis
WASHINGTON, DC – January 28, 2014 – Researchers from Weill Cornell Medical College have added to the growing body of evidence that multiple sclerosis may be triggered by a toxin produced by common foodborne bacteria. The presented their research at the 2014 ASM Biodefense and Emerging Diseases Research Meeting.
Intranasal Vaccine Protects Mice against West Nile Infection
WASHINGTON, DC – January 28, 2013 – Researchers from Duke University have developed a nasal vaccine formulation that provides protective immunity against West Nile virus (WNV) infection in mice after only 2 doses. They present their findings at the 2014 American Society for Microbiology Biodefense and Emerging Diseases Research Meeting.
Salmonella Infection Mitigates Asthma: Research Could Lead to Treatments
WASHINGTON, DC – January 23, 2014 – Researchers from Germany have identified the mechanism by which Salmonella infections can reduce the incidence of asthma in mice. The research,which appears ahead of print in the journal Infection and Immunity, opens up new avenues of research that could lead to treatments.
Pathogenic Plant Virus Jumps to Honeybees
WASHINGTON, DC – January 21, 2014 – A viral pathogen that typically infects plants has been found in honeybees and could help explain their decline. Researchers working in the U.S. and Beijing, China report their findings in mBio®, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology.
ASM Statement on the FY 2014 Omnibus Appropriations Bill
WASHINGTON, DC – January 17, 2014 – The American Society for Microbiology (ASM), the largest single life sciences Society with 39,000 members, commends Congress on the passage of the omnibus spending bill funding the federal government through the rest of the fiscal year 2014. The passage of this bill represents a step in the right direction although funding for life sciences research is far from ideal, given the abundance of scientific opportunities and programs that cannot be funded and pursued.
Special Yeast Reduce Alcohol, Improve Wine
WASHINGTON, DC – January 16, 2014 – A team of Australian researchers has taken a giant step towards controlling a growing problem in the wine community. They have identified special yeast that produce a lower level of alcohol, helping to preserve the flavor. Their research is published ahead of print in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology.
Food Processors Beware: Salmonella Biofilms Incredibly Resistant to Powerful Disinfectants
WASHINGTON, DC – January 15, 2014 – Once Salmonella bacteria get into a food processing facility and have an opportunity to form a biofilm on surfaces, it is likely to be extraordinarily difficult, if not impossible, to kill it, according to research published ahead of print in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology.
Little But Lethal: Small RNAs Coordinate Bacterial Attack on Epithelial Cells
WASHINGTON, DC – January 14, 2014 -Two small RNAs (sRNAs) working in concert enable the deadly enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) 0157:H7 to attach to and initiate infection in epithelial cells that line the digestive tract, according to a study published in mBioâ, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology.
Cultures: A Small Magazine Tackling Big Issues
WASHINGTON, DC -- January 13, 2014 -- The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) announces a new quarterly publication, Cultures, that explores the intersection of science, policy, and the global challenges we all share by bringing diverse voices to a common platform.
Report Answers Questions about the Human Microbiome and Its Role in Health, Obesity
WASHINGTON, DC – January 9, 2014 – The human microbiome, the collection of trillions of microbes living in and on the human body, is not random, and scientists believe that it plays a role in many basic life processes. As science continues to explore and better understand the role of the human microbiome. A new report from the American Academy of Microbiology addresses some of the most common questions about this growing area of research.
Inappropriate Antibiotic Use in Emergency Rooms Not Decreasing in Adults
WASHINGTON, DC – January 8, 2014 – An analysis of emergency room (ER)visits over a 10-year period finds that while inappropriate antibiotic use is decreasing in pediatric settings, it continues to remain a problem in adults, according to an article published ahead of print in Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy.
Including Women on Convening Committees Increases Women Speakers at Scientific Meetings
WASHINGTON, DC – January 7, 2014 – Women are currently underrepresented among speakers at scientific meetings, both in absolute terms and relative to their representation among attendees, but a new study suggests one way to address this deficit. An analysis of 460 scientific symposia to be published in mBio®, the online open-access journal of the American Society for Microbiology reveals that the inclusion of at least one woman on a convening committee increases the proportion of female speakers by as much as 74% and significantly reduces the likelihood the session would have an all-male list of speakers.
Improper Use of Biocides in Food Production May Endanger Public Health
WASHINGTON, DC – January 6, 2014 – Biocides used in the food industry at sublethal doses may be endangering, rather than protecting, public health by increasing antibiotic resistance in bacteria and enhancing their ability to form harmful biofilms, according to a study published ahead of print in Applied and Environmental Microbiology. This is among the first studies to examine the latter phenomenon.

Which external HD for iMac?
I'm getting an external hard drive for my iMac just to backup my files and also keep extraneous files that I don't care to back up. I'm currently looking at the Lacie 3TB Minimus drive or the Western Digital MyBook 3 TB drive...
They're both roughly the same price, but the lacie definitely wins out on form factor. Just wondering if I'll get roughly the same performance out of either external HD, and whether or not they are good choices to begin with. Any input appreciated, thanks WD : http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...=REG&A=details LaCie : http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...B_3_0_3TB.html |

I've had good luck with Western Digital but it bugs me that it's not USB 3. Though the new drive is meant for backups, you'll never have the option to use it for anything else.

Uhhh, are we looking at the same drive? It says right on it (from the OP's link) "Western Digital 3TB MY BOOK USB-3.0 DESKTOP HD FOR MAC."
@OP - you don't need a "for Mac" hard drive; all that means is that it will come pre-formatted in HFS+. Save some money and consider this one.

the 2 drives being under the USB 3.0 spec, will show only marginal gains, one over other, if any/detectable.
I would prefer the LaCie one by the form factor. But had 10 years using WD ones, sometimes in a 24/7 basis and found not so much troubles....just my 5 cents....

you should be fine since the vents are on the back and top. I'm guessing you want to stack them vertically? Its too bad they got rid of the aluminum models, those would match very well with the imac.

First off, the new drive came with a faulty power supply. They shipped out a new one right away, and it worked perfectly, but still annoying. The real problem is that the newer USB 3.0 version of the d2 triple-interface drive seems to have some serious incompatibility with Macs when run over FireWire. It periodically causes the computer to completely freeze Finder or any app that tries to access the drive will lock up, and you can only recover with a restart, or by yanking the FireWire cable. I found numerous threads on Apple's discussion boards, and right here on MacRumors, describing the same exact issue. LaCie has a firmware update for that drive, but it didn't resolve my issue at all nor did it seem to for a lot people in the discussions I found. Many were lucky enough to get LaCie to exchange the drive for the older version, but in my case they said they had no more in stock. I've fallen back to just using the drive over USB 2.0 (my 2011 Mini doesn't have 3.0). Fortunately, I'm not using it for video editing or any other use where USB 2.0 would be a dealbreaker. |

The aim of the study is to investigate pressure lowering effect of two surgical methods canaloplasty and trabeculectomy in patients with open angle glaucoma, in which under local pressure lowering therapy the progression of the disease could not be stopped, and thus a pressure lowering surgical intervention is necessary. The risks in the postoperative course in Canaloplasty in the literature as lower than for the trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C. Conversely, large glaucoma centers questioning the effectiveness of permanent pressure lowering of canaloplasty. Precisely this question is investigated in the study.

Happy, yet disappointed

About Me Bride
Comments about The Knot LOVE Bubble Tubes - White/Pink:
I bought these on sale and I guess you can say I got what I paid for. Some of the tubes are empty or barely have any bubbles inside, while others are half full. It's not a big deal, I'm just going to the [@] and filling them myself. Just not worth the full [$]!! So glad I got these on sale, or they would be returned. Super cute idea, just not very well executed.
By Unhappy with the knot
from Maryland
These were delivered to me today and they're all empty and dried up! There's only about 3 useable tubes in each box of 48! Don't buy....I got a refund.
Cute, but not Pink
By Jess4short
from California
The bubbles are great and will work just fine but the writing on the bottle is more red than it is Pink, I would go with something else that is more pink or leave it blank.
Just what I wanted!
By heatherrenee143
from Pittsburgh, PA
This product will be used in my May 2011 wedding. My colors are hot pink and black and the little bit of extra pink on the bubble bottle made this product for me!

By Lisa
from Bolivar, Ohio
I like these bubble tubes because they are different and more fun (in my opinion) than the plain white bubble bottles. I also love the "love" written in dots because it gives a little extra to the look. The only thing that isn't accurate is the color; it's more of a red than pink (but that was okay for us). Other than that, they are great!
Bubble blowing fun :)
By APRNCES
from Elkhart IN
I ordered these bubbles and they are of good quality but the pink looks more like a light red color and not so much pink. Overall they are great but dont expect the bright pink like shown...

By BusyBride
from Canton, GA
I was so excited about getting the bubbles and using them for my wedding! I couldn't wait for them to be delivered. I opened the box to look at them and realized that they are the wrong color completely. I ordered the white and pink bubbles. The ones shipped to me are white and gold...are the people over at The Knot colorblind? I even pulled up my order online to make sure that I had actually ordered the white and pink ones. I did. The employees at The Knot just don't bother to check their orders for accuracy...so now I'm burdened with having to ship them back. RIDICULOUS! I would be super happy with them if they had just sent me the color I ordered.

Take a Peek Inside FiDi's Credo Restaurant
Food is rarely just food these days. Whether it's about where the ingredients come from, how long it takes to prepare or how much of it ends up in the trash after dinner service, dining out in San Francisco often involves a choice bigger than simply Thai or Italian (or Eritrean, Japanese, Turkish, Venezuelan...).
Credo in SF's financial district is wearing it's mission on its sleeve, er…walls, and there's a philosophy to suit every style. The space is designed by Heidi Richardson (great-granddaughter of legendary architect H.H. Richardson) of Richardson Architects and features walls covered in hundreds of quotes, from the profound ("I believe that architects need to deliver more hope and optimism." —Santiago Calatrava) to the absurd ("We are all worms. But I believe that I am a glow worm." —Winston Churchill). The panels were a collaboration between Frank Holland of Clinton Reilly Holdings and San Francisco design firm, Alterpop.

Had to log in to say, from the 80's not the 90's. They formed in 1981, and they released 5 albums in the 80s. Granted their bigger hits did happen in the 90's so i can see how you could be confused, but please don't throw an awesome band from the 80's into the 90's when the bands from the 90's could only play easy stuff, and awesome solo's and real talent almost ceased to exist.

Mailbag: Immigrant gardener edition
By Louis Jacobson
Published on Thursday, October 20th, 2011 at 4:15 p.m.
Our ruling on Mitt Romney's claim that he had never "hired an illegal" didn't sit well with many PolitiFact readers.
At the Oct. 18, 2011, Republican presidential debate, the former Massachusetts governor was criticized because illegal immigrants had done landscaping work at his home.
In an exchange with Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Romney said, "I don't think I've ever hired an illegal in my life." We rated the claim Mostly False, citing credible evidence, primarily from a Boston Globe investigationin 2006, that undocumented lawn care laborers from Guatemala had worked at his home for years.
Many of our readers disagreed with our rating and said Romney's statement deserved a Mostly True or a True.
Here's a sampling:
"If I hire a legitimate, licensed company to perform work for me and one of their employees is an illegal immigrant, then it may be true that an 'illegal immigrant did work for me,' but it would be false that I 'hired an illegal immigrant. 'Otherwise, If I eat at a restaurant and the person who cooked my hamburger or bused my table happened to be an illegal immigrant, you could say that I 'hired an illegal immigrant.' That is a ridiculous standard to hold anyone to. I hope you reconsider your rating of this claim."
"If your analysis is true, then anyone using any business that has illegal workers functioning in any capacity can be said to be hiring illegals themselves, which is just silly."You risk your credibility by making stretches with these things and not being sticklers by analyzing the actual statements. Semantics matter and my trust is yours to lose!"
"If Romney personally and knowingly hired illegal aliens to work on his lawn, then it would be Mostly False. It would also be Mostly False if he knew for a fact the company he hired was going to use illegal aliens. I have not seen any evidence, from the Boston Globe investigation or any other source, that either of these was the case. The only thing I keep reading is that Romney hired a company to do landscaping and that company hired illegal aliens. That is not culpability in my view.
"We all suspect that lots of businesses we frequent utilize illegal aliens, but suspecting and knowing are two different things. Show me evidence that Romney knew for a fact the workers were illegals or that the company was going to hire illegals for his lawn, then I can agree with a False or Mostly False. As it stands right now, at worst it should be Neutral, but realistically, Mostly True is the correct rating."
"Who the contractor hires has nothing to do with Mitt Romney. Using that standard, everyone has hired an illegal immigrant one way or another. If he'd asked about their immigration status, he would have been accused of hating immigrants and told he had no business asking this information. The only way he could have avoided any scrutiny would have been to discriminate and only hire white people, and we know where that would lead. So the spirit of the answer is True. If you asked the workers who they worked for and who hired them, they would say the landscaper, not Mitt Romney. I would rate your analysis Mostly False."
"I have never, ever checked on any employee's status whenever I had work done on my home, called a plumber, went to a doctor's or dentist's office, or parked in a garage, nor has anyone I know ever done so. You made a mistake on this call, but your site is a valuable one for (mostly) correct information. Keep up the (usually) good work."

UNI Gets $15 Million Gift for Teacher EducationBy Diane Heldt, Reporter
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa - The largest financial gift ever to the University of Northern Iowa will help strengthen and create opportunities in the university's teacher education programs, officials said Wednesday.
The $15 million gift from Des Moines businessman Richard O. Jacobson was announced at a campus event Wednesday afternoon attended by university and state officials. The gift "sets a milestone for teacher education" at UNI, officials said. In a statement, UNI President Ben Allen said pre-K through 12 educational leadership is a top priority for the university. "This extraordinary gift affirms our commitment and provides the resources we need to support innovation and leadership in education," Allen said. Jacobson said UNI has an outstanding education program for preparing principals and superintendents, and university leadership has "demonstrated their vision, expertise and dedication to pre-K through 12 education." "I hope this gift will strengthen and create educational opportunities that will enable all of Iowa's children to achieve success as individuals and contributors to the larger community and society," he said. A portion of the gift will support endowed UNI faculty positions in literacy and science, visiting faculty and visiting fellows. Money will support faculty and student research and an annual education summit, among other initiatives, officials said. In addition, Jacobson chose to honor Allen, his long-time friend, by creating a $5 million endowed scholarship aimed at attracting talented, accomplished students who have the potential to be excellent teachers, a statement said. This is Jacobson's third and largest gift to the UNI College of Education. Gifts from the Jacobson Foundation to UNI have totaled $30 million and have been focused on teacher education programs.

The Supreme Court seemed ready Wednesday to block a California law that would require euthanizing downed livestock at federally inspected slaughterhouses to keep the meat out of the nation's food system. The court heard an appeal from the National Meat Association, which wants a 2009 California state law blocked from going into effect.
California barred the purchase, sale and butchering of animals that can't walk and required slaughterhouses under the threat of fines and jail time to immediately kill nonambulatory animals.
But justices said that encroached on federal laws that don't require immediate euthanizing.
Under California law, the ban on buying, selling and slaughter of "downer" cattle also extends to pigs, sheep and goats.
Pork producers sued to stop the law, saying the new law interfered with federal laws that require inspections of downed livestock before determining whether they can be used for meat.
A federal judge agreed and blocked the law, but the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals threw out the hold.
The justices seemed ready to overturn that ruling.
The Federal Meat Inspection Act allows a federal meat inspector to examine and then determine whether a downed animal is fit to be slaughtered for meat. It also says states cannot add requirements "in addition to or different than" its requirements.
The justices are expected to rule soon.

Heart Attack Patient Costs Skyrocket Beyond 30 Days
Three-quarters of the total cost increase for patients with a heart attack was incurred for services between the 31st and the 365th day, according to a new study of Medicare cost trends in 1998-2008.
Medicare's system for paying for heart attack care based on diagnosis has led to relatively low cost increases during the first 30 days after patient admissions, but from the 31st day to the 365th day, costs under the fee-for-service system skyrocketed.
That's according to a report analyzing Medicare cost trends from 1998 to 2008, published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine by University of Michigan and Dartmouth Institute researchers. The finding comes even though fewer Medicare beneficiaries required hospital admission for heart attack.
With current Medicare payment policies, "we're focused on [reducing costs within] the first 30-day period, and unless we really restructure the way we pay for patient care, all we're going to do is squeeze one end of the balloon while the other end expands," says Donald S. Likosky, PhD, the study's lead author, who is an associate professor in the University of Michigan's Department of Cardiac Surgery.
"This suggests to me that we really need to think fundamentally about how we manage our patient and how we also pay for these services to care for them," Likosky told HealthLeaders Media. He suggests that Medicare should consider bundling payments for services beyond the acute care episode, perhaps for as long as 90 days or even a year.

Sherri Tombarge, Editorial Services P: (540) 464-7207F: (540) 464-7443VMI, 111 Smith HallLexington, VA 24450
Lexington, Va., Dec. 5, 2012 – The Stonewall Jackson House Christmas with the Jacksons event this Friday, Dec. 7, will offer candlelight tours, seasonal music, and discounts on popular items and stocking stuffers in the museum shop. The event will run from 5:30 to 7 p.m. and will benefit the Rockbridge Area Relief Association food pantry. Admission will be canned or other non-perishable food for the pantry.Visitors will have the opportunity to tour the house by candlelight and learn about 19th-century Christmas traditions from costumed tour guides stationed throughout the house. They will have the chance to try on period clothing, add decorations to the parlor tree, and churn butter in the kitchen, while enjoying seasonal music. Complimentary hot cider and homemade gingersnaps will be available at the conclusion of the tour.From a modern viewpoint, the most notable aspect of Christmas in the Valley of Virginia during the mid-19th century was the relative lack of any observations at all. In the early years of the 19th century, many people still viewed Christmas with some disapproval because it connoted "pagan foolishness." The lavish gifts, elaborate manufactured decorations, and joyous festivities associated with the "Victorian Christmas" were largely a product of the late 19th century.Maj. Thomas J. Jackson, a professor at Virginia Military Institute, had one day of leisure at Christmas. The superintendent of the VMI ordered "the usual suspension of academic duties" for Christmas day only. There was no regular Christmas furlough for the Corps of Cadets until the 1920s. Because there is little documentation on how the Jacksons decorated their house during the Christmas season, or even if they did so at all, the house is decorated according to mid-19th century traditions. Customarily, greens were gathered from the local countryside and arranged in a pleasing fashion around the house. Mid-19th century prints show wreaths hung at the windows rather than on front doors. The slender wreaths of ivy displayed in the windows of the Stonewall Jackson House are based on these sources. Mrs. Mary Anna Jackson wrote in her Memoirs that at Christmas her husband was generous with presents for the household servants (who were slaves) and "frequently gave them small sums of money."There is no record of the Jacksons displaying a Christmas tree in their home on Washington Street. However, they were aware of the custom because their good friends, Col. and Mrs. J.T.L. Preston, displayed a Christmas tree in 1860. During the mid-19th century, if a family had a Christmas tree it was customarily placed on a table in the parlor and lighted with candles once, as a special treat. Family and friends frequently gathered around the tree to enjoy the sight. Christmas trees were originally present-bearers, decorated with gifts of toys and edibles. Many of the gifts tied to the tree were simple handmade items such as pen-wipers or needle cases. Pencils wrapped in paper were popular gifts.The Stonewall Jackson House is the only house that the Confederate general, Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson, ever owned. The house is now owned by the Virginia Military Institute, where Jackson taught, and operated by the VMI museum system. For further information on Christmas with the Jacksons and the Stonewall Jackson House, call 540-464-7704 or visit www.stonewalljackson.org.

The coaching minor prepares Ship graduates to work with athletic teams in youth sports, junior or senior high school sports, or in recreational sports settings. This minor does not prepare teachers to teach physical education classes in a school setting. Many Shippensburg University students enroll in the coaching minor to supplement their chosen major, which can be a stepping stone to many career options. For example:
Responsible coaches are educated and prepared to contribute to the positive influence sport has on individual players and society at large. For those who wish to coach in a secondary educational setting, the coaching minor will be particularly advantageous.

Wrestle Scoop:
- Today would have been the 59th birthday for Paul Bearer and the 88th birthday for Angelo Poffo.
- Jimmy Hart noted on Twitter that WWE officials are negotiating with Turner on ways they can release WCW theme songs.
- There was an off-camera segment at last night's WWE SmackDown tapings with Heath Slater, Triple H, Kane and Daniel Bryan. After Slater took a chokeslam and a Pedigree, Team Hell No and Triple H did some comedy that led to some hugging. They even brought up Katie Vick. The segment went long and out came Vince McMahon to cut them off. Triple H says Vince needs a hug and he teased doing one but backed off and left before he could. The segment ended with Kane hugging Triple H while Bryan came from behind and wrapped his arms around Triple H.
