The Herald Bulletin
---- — The Herald Bulletin newsroom is fortunate to have dedicated, veteran editors to guide our coverage.
Three of those folks — Steve Dick, Janis Bowling and Scott Miley — recently took on new assignments. Each of them performed very well in their previous roles, but these new responsibilities will give them a fresh set of challenges and, perhaps, take better overall advantage of their skills.
Here's a summary of the changes:
u Steve has coordinated our news coverage for the past eight years and will still play an important role in deciding how we use our news resources. But he is now spending more time selecting and editing wire stories, keeping content fresh on our website, editing stories and proofing pages, and helping process materials for our Commentary page. Like Janis and Scott, Steve serves on our editorial board. Steve, whose title is Associate Editor, is second in charge in our newsroom.
Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com or 640-4863.
u Janis has taken on the new title of Features Editor. She will coordinate our lifestyles coverage, including the content for our weekly Health, Education, Neighbors, Food, Weekend, Faith and Community pages. Janis will also take over as editor of Madison magazine and will continue to serve as a primary point of contact for the public. Janis' previous title was Newsroom Coordinator.
Contact her at email@example.com or 648-4284.
u Scott is now coordinating our news coverage, which includes supervision of our reporting staff. His new title is Associate Editor for News. Though his previous title was Features Editor, Scott has helped out with our news coverage since his arrival at The Herald Bulletin in 2008. He's also done a marvelous job of coordinating and editing Madison magazine since '08.
Contact him at email@example.com or 648-4230.
One other recent change in our news coverage:
u In mid-August, we added Traci Moyer to our reporting staff. Traci is an accomplished, veteran reporter and is already making a strong impression. Her primary coverage beat is business.
Contact her at email@example.com or 648-4250.
Last week, this column space was devoted to the last installment of the summer Green Spaces series.
I received some positive feedback for the series, so I'm thinking of bringing it back next summer. Let me know whether you'd like to see the series resumed — or whether one summer was enough!
Anderson's Shadyside Park, Mounds State Park, Elmo Funk Park, Jackson Park, Riverwalk and West Maplewood Cemetery; Frankton's Otis Cress Field, Elwood's Callaway Park, Pendleton's Falls Park and Alexandria's Beulah Park were featured in the series, which can be found at theheraldbulletin.com by searching for "green spaces."
Editor Scott Underwood's column appears Mondays. Like him on Facebook and follow him on Twitter @THBeditor. Contact him at email@example.com or 640-4845.

Four years after it took effect, Dodd-Frank's pernicious effects have shown that the law's critics were, if anything, too kind. Dodd-Frank has already overwhelmed the regulatory system, stifled the financial industry and impaired economic growth.
Resident Scholar Paul Kupiec, Resident Fellow Alex Pollock, and Arthur F. Burns Fellow in Financial Policy Studies Peter Wallison speak on a panel for an American Enterprise Institute conference call about the four year anniversary of the Dodd-Frank Act.
The notorious Dodd-Frank Act set up the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), a committee of regulators, and tasked it with identifying and preventing the ill-defined threat of systemic risk. Join our keynote speakers and expert panelists as they address the fundamental problems created by these political constructs.
Complaints about the FSOC arise because this agency has the extraordinary power to designate financial firms as systemically important financial institutions and there is very little evidence available anywhere that it has the ability or desire to use that power other than arbitrarily. Indeed, all the evidence is to the contrary.
The narrative that came out of the financial crisis was that it could have been prevented by better regulation. That misreading of the facts is why we are again on our way to a mortgage financing system that will one day bring on another financial crisis.
Please join AEI for a conference discussing the paper and broader issues of proxy advisory services and corporate governance.
Basel I, II and III were developed by bank regulators, approved by an international agreement among bank regulators, and subsequently applied to the US banking industry. In this testimony, I discuss reasons why congressional abstention from this process was not a good idea.
At a special Capitol Hill lunch conference on Tuesday, May 6, experts gathered to discuss how the SIFI designation process consigns financial firms to bank-like regulation and could have a major adverse effect on competition, credit availability and economic growth in the United States.
The wrong diagnosis of a policy issue can lead to the wrong prescription. A good example is the persistent argument by the FSOC and the editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal that a stable $1 net asset value for money market mutual funds is somehow a threat to the taxpayers or the stability of the financial system.
By politicizing the allocation of mortgage credit beyond the level that was possible with Freddie and Fannie, the bill proposed by Sen. Tim Johnson and Sen. Mike Crapo manages to make the affordable-housing provisions of current policy worse.

PRESS RELEASE FROM WWW.UOFLSPORTS.COM: Louisville, Ky. - - The 2012 University of Louisville Wendy's Wonderful Kids Red-White Spring Game will be held on Saturday, April 14 at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. Head coach Charlie Strong, who begins his third season, will pit the offense versus the defense in a regular-game situation. The first half will be timed as a regular game, while second-half timing rules will depend on depth. Sophomore quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will lead the first unit and score points for the Red Team, while senior quarterback Will Stein will be the White Team's quarterback. The Cardinals, who begin their final week of spring practice, have had a productive spring, as Louisville returns at least 18 total starters from last season's BIG EAST championship team. "We have had a good spring," said Strong. "It's been very competitive and the players have given great effort. I hope we can have a huge crowd on Saturday and really show off our team to our great fans." Admission is free and open to the public. The gates will open at noon and the parking lots will be open for tailgating at 8 a.m.

via Big East Coast Bias One of the sure signs that football season is approaching is the release of media guides. Any more, it's hard to even come by a hard cover media guide. Here's a link to the .pdf version of Lousville's 210 page media guide. We'll provide links to the others as they're made available.
Apparently he thinks the Big East should voluntarily surrender their BCS bid this year. Never mind that, as he mentions, we've won 3 of our last 5 BCS games, we should let the big boys handle this one. From what i can deduce, his only reasoning is that it will garner respect from the other leagues. Right, Rick, I'm sure they wouldn't pounce on that as another opportunity to say we don't deserve an automatic bid. I'm sure the ACC was trying to give up their bid during their down years, we probably just don't know about it. I'm not a Bozich-hater, but this is potentially the dumbest and least-thought-out article ever. If he has nothing better to do than stir the pot, I've lost some respect for the man. Surely he can't really believe this.
I hate to advocate the firing of anybody but if there is not any improvement in our Football program next season ,improvement would be a winning record and Bowl appearance and Jurich does nothing...

Usually, I think of celebrating the new year as sort of a weird, made-up thing. It has always seemed a bit arbitrary to me. However, this has been a year of just getting by, of feeling comfortable and then being surprised with some sort of massively stressful event. This year will be known as the year of Lily's troubles and near-death, and of endless yard sales just to pay the rent. I am so ready to say goodbye to 2011.
Of course we always share the most positive things in our lives on our blogs, so it's nice that I can look back and say that even though the year has been pretty brutal, there have been lots of great times as well. I was fortunate enough to see The Honey Trees perform quite a few times & meet them, I ate a lot of cupcakes, and got to be an audience member for a couple of award shows (and was on tv for a few seconds, ha). I also was lucky enough to meet quite a few lovely people like Jennifer, Kat, and Emily. This has been a great year for my little blog; I have made so many friends here, and I was humbled by the kind words and generosity of those friends in the midst of Lily's illness. I feel pretty darn lucky to know all of you.
I am so excited for 2012 because I know it's going to be our best year yet! Jose starts his first real teaching job in a few weeks, which means we can move to a place where we can have heat, drain the kitchen sink, and drink the water - what a concept! It also means that now I can quit the job I've been miserable in for years, which is an incredible relief. I can finally see rays of sunshine emerging from the clouds, and it feels absolutely amazing. I can hardly believe this is my life!
We might dress up to celebrate, just to be fancy, but we're staying at home with my family, so here's my little imaginary New Year's Eve party. When I think of welcoming 2012, I see nothing but sparkles and light!
Have a fantastic New Year's Eve, and I'll see you next year! I can't wait!

Demons circling, life hangs in the balance. Sweet mercy, what I wouldnt give for balance.
Werent there other contests cluttering my to-do list? No sword swallowing? Bomb detonation? It takes a special kind of human to throw elbows and smash torsos on roller skates, and I aint him.
Its a very awkward position, said Craig Bailey, Race City Roller Derby president. Youre going to say, wow, this isnt very comfortable.
You want to talk awkward positions? Imagine a world where every woman stands four inches taller, and keeping upright on two feet simply isnt an option. Where a date with cold concrete teeters on eight wheels, more if you count the gurney theyll need to roll me off the oval.
Just dont stand up straight, said Pam Yavorka, one of two Charlotte Speed Demons calling Fort Mill home. Anything but a little bend in your knees, and its all downhill from there straight backwards.
Yavorka, the bank risk analyst, and massage therapist Joy Campbell arent fazed by the rounded razor blades underfoot. Five raised sons between them, roller derby barely qualifies as a challenge. These women four-wheel and kayak, practice football in the dining room and baseball in the yard until dark. Trampoline wrestling is a common occurrence.
Im not afraid of roller skating. Im afraid of how much chalk the coroner might waste tracing whats left of my last fall. I recall my last skate. I hung onto the wall like the Mona Lisa. I cant imagine Ive improved in the decade since. Sport intuition wont help, either. Liquefy all my roller derby knowledge, and theyd still let it on a plane.
Bailey says the semi-pro squad looks like chaos in high wheels, but a ring around the track takes a helmet-load of strategy and technique. Hes married to blocker Rebecca, so hes pretty much bound by life and limb to say nice things.
These arent just a bunch of mad, bruising women who are out there to hurt you, Bailey said.
As if the world needs more of those, am I right? I get the gloss version, how team members fly planes and play the cello. Theyre bakers, bartenders and bank execs, attorneys and dental assistants. Everybodys playing nice. Im not sold.
I have a contact in an opposing teams city who I probably shouldnt name for safety reasons. Reason being, I value my safety. Im hearing theres at least one derbiest I want no part of.
Shes meaner than any man I know, Im told.
Race City vows to be different. They dont want pro wrestling on wheels. No stage name heels or pageantry attire. No melees, hoodwinkery or bamboozling, either. Speed Demons want their sport in the Olympics. Allowing the likes of me on their track probably isnt helping.
Round 1
Yavorka, 43, toes the jammer line alongside me. Well race once through the eight-woman pack four of her teammates, four of mine and back through to score points. Or until Im lapped. Shes a pleasant person until the whistle blows. A week later, against the Greenville Derby Dames, shell knock women into next week without breaking stride.
I wasnt this nervous on my wedding day. Im Juan Pablo Montoya on a track full of jet dryers. The whistle screeches.
For one straightaway I skate as fast and as perpendicular as I ever have. Yavorka is a memory. The former speed skater makes short work of the pack and sets sight on me.
Somehow I navigate one turn and a back straightaway. Before I test turn two, Im lapped. Never even neared the pack.
Yet Im the one drawing applause. Maybe these women arent such ruffians. Their husbands and sons tell me so, and they should know.
Families follow the team everywhere but into the locker room.
Campbells elder son is a penalty tracker whos begging for a my derby mom can beat up your soccer mom shirt, and her husband stands guard as an EMT firefighter.
Yavorka couldnt keep her husband away with a two-arm sling pass, and her dad was an instant convert.
He thinks its funny that at my age, hes still going to watch me roller skate, she said.
Round 2
Team members take my arm and wheel me back to the jammer line like a geriatric. Theyre a vexing mix of maternal and maniacal, these Demons. Women who thrive in centrifugal madness, yet insist Im such a trooper for trying. The bespectacled blocker awaits.
Campbell, 37, only began roller derby a couple months back. She completed the nine-week training so youre not a danger to yourself or others, which I didnt. Also an equine masseuse, shes handled bigger horses you-know-whats than me.
I get weird looks when people find out about that as well as the roller derby, Campbell said.
She skates past me like Im not even there. I fall several times. Im barely through the first turn when I see her barreling into the near arc. I hold stiller than a frozen opossum. Campbell laps me and I cant get the skates off fast enough. Those Miracle on the Hudson folks werent as relieved to foot solid ground. They ask if I want another round. Id rather live birth a rake.
You were skating on very slim wheels which probably didnt help, Yavorka later confesses. Most wheels arent that slim.
The civility of these athletes is relentless. Whats not to love about a rink full of women wholl hold you by the arm to balance you from splitting your cranium, then shout such encouragement from the pack as, if your butt and thighs burn, you know youre doing it right?
The middle school boy in me regrets not skating fast enough to swap paint with the pack. The adult in me envisions an 80-wheel pileup and a dozen toe stops to the skull. Ill take my result. And the new lease on life waiting just inside an old pair of tennis shoes.
On Your Marks Scoreboard
Competition: Charlotte Speed Demons teammates Joy Campbell and Pam Yavorka, both of Fort Mill
Contest: One lap races around the rink, to see who scores the most points by passing pack members from the opposing team or until Im lapped.
Score: Both Campbell and Yavorka lap me with little trouble. Final score: Campbell and Yavorka 2, Marks 0.

LATEST: Hanbury rocked by suspected murder
Updated 5:18pm Friday 31st January 2014 in News By Ian Craig
A SLEEPY village in rural Worcestershire was rocked today following a suspected murder.
Police and paramedics were called to School Road in Hanbury, near Droitwich – thought by many to be the inspiration for BBC Radio 4's long-running soap opera The Archers – at about 4.35pm yesterday to reports a woman in her 40s had suffered serious stab wounds in a domestic incident.
She was declared dead at the scene and a man in his 20s was arrested shortly after.
A resident in the area, who declined to be named, said the house where the alleged murder had taken place was a rental property.
"People in the road don't really know them," she said. "It's very sad. It's really shocking.
"Yesterday we could see blue lights flashing from about 4.30pm. That's when the police came.
"At about 8pm the police came and the road was closed. I thought, 'Oh gosh, there has been an accident along there'. "
Another neighbour said the house was owned by a family who live in the Channel Islands and the current residents had only lived there for a year or so.
"We were at a parish council meeting in the church and someone came in and said 'someone's been murdered'," he said.
"This morning we heard that a son had stabbed his mother which sounds really awful."
Another resident said: "We saw a police car hurtling along the read at about 5pm which was really unusual because we don't really see police around here.
West Mercia Police commander for South Worcestershire Superintendant Mark Travis said this afternoon: "Following this tragic incident, we continue our investigations in and around the house in School Road, including searches and forensic examinations.
"I would like to reassure the local community that we believe this to be an isolated incident and no-one else is being sought in relation to our investigation."
School Road is currently closed from Hanbury C of E First School to the junction with Pumphouse Lane.
Head of Hanbury C of E First School Andrew Payne said he had been told little about the incident.
"This is a village community and our thoughts are with the family," he said.
"We have not been given any further information but the police have reassured us that the school is perfectly safe to open as normal.
"We've been reassuring parents that there is no danger to the children."
Another resident in the area said: "Whether it was a lover's tiff or a robbery I don't know.
"The first time we noticed something had happened was when we saw cars coming along our road which is unusual."
The arrested man remaines in police custody and had not yet been charged.
The Worcestershire coroner has been informed.

Bufton Tufton says...
The key here is "don't know" and there are of course an infinite number of other possible possibles. The Worcester News should not be publishing the speculatatory musings of a member of the public who just by chance happens to reside in the same area and "doesn't know". Anyone who does know should be talking to the police and not the Worcester News

Gallup: Obama's Approval Hits All-Time Lows With Independents, Moderates and Conservative Democrats
President Barack Obama's job approval ratings hit all-time lows last week among self-described Independents, moderates and conservative Democrats, according to the Gallup poll.
At the same time, Obama's job approval ratings increased among self-described liberals and liberal Democrats, according to Gallup.
The all-time low job approval ratings for Obama among Independents, moderates and conservative Democrats—and the improvement in his job approval among liberals and liberal Democrats—came during a week in which Obama was negotiating with congressional leaders for legislation to increase the federal government's debt limit.
The trends suggest that Obama's handling of the debt-limit issue did not improve his standing among those who perceive themselves to be in the middle of the American political spectrum.

Yeah.........that was last weeks polls. He sure was profilin' and Cadillacin' up there in the Rose Garden today.....and lecturing all of us about what he's going to do with his new credit card. The 'da weasel' Reid informed us that 'revenues' were on the way, after Boy Blunder told us how it's going to be with his newfound power and authority.
And as long as the MSM stays in the tank for Barama, it doesn't matter what the polls are, because they'll keep covering his sorry okole and continue to make excuses for what isn't going right, and pumping up anything that they can that looks or sounds like Boy Barry is making better - even if it is just a shell game.
If we don't have Martial Law before our next election, or it doesn't get so illegal and hi-jacked, I'd be looking for a double-dose of what happened in 2010...............but, as you always say, it might be too late. But I"ve seen people drown over here, and somehow survive and come back............I just don't want to use the word 'hope' in any damn sentence, because Blunder has succeeded - at least in my mind - to have bastardized that word so bad that I'm paranoid of using it!!!

MANCHESTER, England (AP) -- With a Manchester derby looming, Romanian side CFR Cluj is hoping to catch Man United off guard on Wednesday and keep alive its hopes of reaching the Champions League's last 16 for the first time.
Cluj and Galatasaray are level on points heading into the final matchday of the group stage as they fight for the runner-up spot in Group H behind United.
Galatasaray holds the head-to-head advantage so Cluj must better the result of the Turkish side, which visits Braga.
A victory for Cluj at Old Trafford would make things interesting, and shouldn't be discounted given that already-qualified United will rest players ahead of Sunday's English Premier League match against Manchester City.
"You're allowed to dream before a match at the Theatre of Dreams," said Cluj midfielder Mario Camora, referring to the nickname of United's Old Trafford stadium. "We will sacrifice, we will fight for every ball. It's a unique opportunity to play in such a stadium in front of one of the best teams in the world."
United defender Nemanja Vidic was hoping to play for the first time since injuring a knee in September, but the center back "needs another few days' training," according to United manager Alex Ferguson.
Wayne Rooney will start, but Robin van Persie and Rio Ferdinand are expected to be among the big-name players to sit out to stay fresh for the derby between the Premier League's top two teams.
"We have to be fair to all the teams who are trying to reach important positions, whether that's the Champions League or the Europa League," Ferguson said. "In that respect, we'll play a team that we expect will win."
Cluj has already scared United this season, taking the lead in Romania before two goals from Van Persie sealed a 2-1 win for the three-time tournament winners in October.
That came amidst a run of four straight victories for United, securing its early progress and making amends for last season when it was surprisingly eliminated at the group stage.
"We've bounced back incredibly well this season," said United defender Phil Jones, who has also recently returned from injury. "The lads have played some terrific stuff in the Champions League games that I've seen. Hopefully we can kick on and go as far as we can."
Galatasaray hasn't reached the knockout stage since 2002 but is in pole position because Portuguese team Braga is already out.
"No one should be fooled by the fact that Braga is placed last in the group," Galatasaray defender Emmanuel Eboue said. "They beat us 2-0 (in Istanbul). We need to concentrate hard and fight hard. No one should think that we are facing an easy game."
Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando Muslera was injured during Friday's disappointing 1-1 draw at Gaziantep in the Turkish Super League, making him a doubt.

After reports circulated on Tuesday that Rich Rodriguez had been fired as Michigan football coach, we now have more official confirmation that RichRod has, indeed, be relieved of his duties. Several outlets are confirming it via Twitter, including ESPN's Joe Schad and Detroit Free Press' Angelique Chengelis.
Chengelis is reporting that Rodriguez's staff has been fired, as well, and Schad tweets that RichRod is meeting with his coaches Wednesday morning to inform them of the decision. Athletic Director Dave Brandon will hold a 12:30 p.m. press conference on Wednesday to announce the decision.
Rodriguez went 15-22 in his three years at Michigan, and led the team to its first winning season of his tenure in 2010, going 7-6. The Wolverines lost their bowl game, however, as they were destroyed by Mississippi State in the Gator Bowl. Rodriguez's spread offense finally got on track this season, but the defense was the team's ultimate undoing.

Their products, including our cutting-edge, effervescent formulations, have won them international acclaim and distinction as well as the confidence of physicians and consumers worldwide.
Their uncompromising commitment to quality and adherence to the same standards as the pharmaceutical industry mean that every Nutraceutics product is both safe and effective. Their standards are firmly steeped in a tradition of quality first established over 50 years ago and embraced by three generations of compounding pharmacists, pharmacologists and business leaders.
Over the years, Nutraceutics has sought to build upon our legacy by enhancing their research and development capabilities, by providing the most responsive customer service in the industry and by forging partnerships with physicians, health care professionals and retailers who are committed to our goals of protecting, promoting and improving good health. Their mission is to continue that tradition by consistently researching the latest scientific advances, reviewing our manufacturing processes and reevaluating our product offerings to make sure that they are providing the highest quality, safest and most efficacious supplements on the market.
There's a revolution taking hold in the healthcare industry.
Over the last few years, a new way of discussing health, wellness and disease prevention has been rapidly gaining ground, and attitudes about exercise and nutrition are being completely transformed. When they started Nutraceutics in 1994, nutritional science was still seen by many as some sort of alchemy. The American medical community had always acknowledged the value of fruits and vegetables as part of a balanced diet, but they never really stopped to ask why that balanced diet was so important.
They knew the playing field was changing when the National Institutes for Health (NIH) first began putting real dollars into research on alternative medicine. Although researchers around the world have been exploring non-pharmacological remedies for decades, this NIH move was a catalyst for a serious attitude adjustment within mainstream medicine.
Today, you can't pick up a newspaper without reading about some new research linking nutrition to wellness and disease prevention. A growing number of physicians are embracing the science of movement and nutrition, and many are even taking a proactive approach to helping patients incorporate the latest research into their daily lives.Biochemists, pharmacologists, physiologists, botanists and nutritional scientists are collaborating as never before. Studies exploring the complex interactions of dietary intake, exercise and environmental factors on health are reported monthly in peer-reviewed journals around the world. This research is converging into a new, groundbreaking view of medicine that unites the science from many disparate fields into a holistic approach to wellness and prevention.

Christmas was nearly rubbish
6:50pm Thursday 13th December 2012 in News By Neil Vowles
A boyfriend was a merry relieved man when his Christmas presents were saved after he accidentally threw them out with his recycling.
Danny Kent was within a reindeer's whisker of losing the presents he had bought and wrapped for his partner before eagle-eyed workers recovered his Santa sack among tonnes of rubbish.
Mr Kent, of Old Church Road in Hastings, took a black bin bag containing wrapped presents along with bags of other waste he was getting rid of to the Veolia household waste recycling site off Bexhill Road on Friday afternoon.
When he got home he realised his yuletide error and went back to the site to try to find it.
However by the time he arrived back at the site, the container had been removed and taken to the nearby waste transfer station to be sorted.
Luckily, Mr Kent persuaded two Veolia employees to help him sift through five tonnes of rubbish to find the gifts worth hundreds of pounds.
Gary Chandler and Paul Young, from Veolia Environmental Services South Downs, had heard about what had happened and carefully looked for the bin liner.
Sack of gifts
The next day, when transferring the waste at the waste transfer station, they found the sack of gifts.
Mr Young said: "We often get people throw away items by mistake and it's nearly impossible to find them in amongst all the material we process.
"I can't begin to imagine the desperation Mr Kent and his family must have felt when he realised. I'm thrilled that Gary and I worked together and managed to save his Christmas by finding the presents."
Mr Kent said: "I cannot thank Gary and Paul enough. I hope they have a very merry Christmas – they have sure saved mine from being a rubbish one."

Girl Scout shares love of reading, earns Gold Award
HOUSTON (Oct. 2009) – Girl Scout Senior Marie Sartain created books-on-CD for Gordon Elementary School to earn the Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council Gold Award, the highest award a Girl Scout can achieve. Less than five percent of girls who join Girl Scouts earn this recognition.
"I learned to manage my time and to keep a calendar when scheduling appointments," says Marie, a student at the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts.
Earning the Gold Award is a significant honor that requires recipients to demonstrate outstanding leadership skills, career planning, community involvement and personal development. It takes more than 100 service hours and two to three years of intensive work to complete the award requirements, which include planning and completing a project that is a service to the community.
"I chose this project because I love reading, and I wanted to help younger students enjoy reading as much as I do," explains Marie.
Over a period of 10 months, Marie supervised 30 volunteers who recorded 117 books for elementary school student's reading levels. As a result of her project, the librarian at Gordon Elementary created an interactive reading center using the books-on-CD.
"Marie has developed better organizational skills as a direct result of her Gold Award project," says Sharie Sartain, Marie's mother. "She is more confident in herself."
As an active member of Girl Scouts, Marie is a member of the Mariners sailing program and regularly serves on event planning boards. At her school, she is a member of National Honor Society and the "Name That Book" team. Following graduation, Marie plans to attend college to study English and secondary education.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.7 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 72,000 girl members and 17,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties. For more information call 1-800-392-4340 or visit www.gssjc.org.
GSSJC Pluralism Statement
Embracing and promoting pluralism is an integral part of every activity and plan of Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council, not disconnected or separate projects. Only individuals willing to accept and be educated about the basic tenet that Girl Scouting is for all girls may serve in volunteer leadership or staff positions.

Country profile - Distinguishing factors (France)
France comprises a mainland area located in the western part of continental Europe, plus the island of Corsica in the Mediterranean Sea and several overseas territories in North and South America, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Covering a total area of 543 965 km2, mainland France is the largest country in the European Union. Together with the overseas departments, France covers 632 834 km2. The other overseas communities and New Caledonia cover 22 481 km2.
Mainland France borders on the North Sea to the north, the English Channel to the northwest, the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Mediterranean to the southeast. The southern and eastern borders are marked by mountain ranges.
The structure of mainland France is marked by a variety of geological and mountainous features. The great sedimentary basins in the west and north of France are the continuation of the vast plains of northern Europe. The predominant geological features southeast of a line running from Bayonne to Metz are crystalline limestone mountain ranges that culminate at Mont Blanc, the summit of the alpine system. To the southeast, the continental coastline and Corsica establish France firmly among the Mediterranean countries.

Just the facts
WHAT: Brides to Be Expo
WHEN: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 16
WHERE: Five Star Catering at Primo West, Plainfield
The Hendricks County Flyer is continuing its tradition of helping brides and grooms plan their perfect day by once again hosting the annual Brides to Be Expo. This year's event is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 16 at Five Star Catering at Primo West in Plainfield.
This is the seventh year for the bridal show that features free admission and more than 30 vendors from Hendricks County and surrounding communities.
The first 100 brides through the door will receive a free wedding planner.
"We will once again have the strolling fashion show by David's Bridal and Men's Wearhouse," said Dave Johnson, advertising manager for the Hendricks County Flyer.
The event offers information on local vendors who specialize in weddings.
There will be door prizes and plenty of free advice, along with an opportunity to book photographers, cake designers, jewelers, caterers, musicians, venues, and more. Each vendor brings a door prize worth at least $25 to be given away.
"New this year is a flower by Queen Anne's Lace," Johnson said. "Each bride that registers will receive a flower with their number on it."
There will also be a giveaway for an overnight stay and dinner at a downtown Indianapolis location.
"We are still finalizing the plans on that," Johnson said. "It will be great for one lucky couple.
"Also new this year is a greeting by a harpist. As brides come in to register, the harpist will be performing."
The event is put on by the Hendricks County Flyer and the Hendricks County Convention and Visitors Bureau. It is billed as a "one stop shop" for brides and grooms from in and around Hendricks County.

Production of ozone depleting substances in EEA member countries, 1986-2006
European data
Additional information
Production is defined under Article 1(5) of the Montreal Protocol as production minus the amount destroyed minus the amount entirely used as feedstock in the manufacture of other chemicals. Calculated production may therefore be negative in cases where the destroyed amounts exceed the production. Since the figures are for each calendar year, it is quite possible that in some years the feedstock figure may exceed the production figure of that year, if the feedstock use is from a carry-over stock. The calculated production could be negative in such cases.

Documenting the OpenDocument Format
An Interview with Jean Hollis Weber
We talk with Jean Hollis Weber, a volunteer with ODFAuthors, the LibreOffice Documentation team, and the Friends of OpenDocument Inc.
In many ways, ODFAuthors is an exception among free software projects. Its purpose is not to produce code but documentation – chiefly user guides – for office programs that use the OpenDocument Format (ODF), such as LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice. Moreover, instead of using version control, contributors mainly operate by the old-fashioned means of exchanging drafts. Yet, under the leadership of Jean Hollis Weber, a retired technical editor and consultant, ODFAuthors has become one of the few ongoing documentation projects in a community that has a history of neglecting help and user support.
Weber discovered OpenOffice.org, the first ODF office suite, in 2003. "At the time, I wasn't really part of the OpenOffice. org project," she says. "I was just fiddling around learning how to use the software. But there weren't any books, and the help was kind of hopeless."

More problems with the Senate health care bill
by desmoinesdem, Tue Dec 15, 2009 at 05:40:04 AM EST
Nate Silver thinks any Democrat who opposes the Senate's health care bill is "batflippin' crazy." He posts a chart showing how a family of four earning $54,000 a year would get much more in subsidies if the bill goes through.
Silver tacitly admits that this bill won't do anything to contain costs. The overall cost of health insurance will increase just as fast with the bill as without it. The only difference is, taxpayers will be covering a greater portion of the cost.
I think most families earning $54,000 per year won't find it particularly affordable to spend more than $8,500 out of pocket for premiums either.
Silver ignores other problems with the bill too. Remember President Obama's promise that we can all keep the insurance we have? The Senate bill contains an excise tax on employer-provided insurance, which is likely to encourage employers to change the policies they offer. Writing at Firedoglake, Jon Walker summarized conclusions reached by The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services:
To translate, your employer will reduce what your current insurance plan and put in place high co-pays and deductibles. The result is that many people with employer-provided health insurance will see their insurance get much worse. For younger, healthier employees, possibly getting less comprehensive insurance but maybe higher wages (I think it is very doubtful that there is a pure dollar for dollar passthrough), this might be a decent deal. For older, less healthy employees this is a very bad deal. They will be forced to pay much more out-of-pocket for their health care.
Republicans won't stop screaming about a "government takeover of health care" just because the Senate dropped the public health insurance option. They will pin all the failures of this bill on the government. Democrats may pass a shoddy bill and declare victory this year, but the results won't be pretty if many people see their employer-provided health insurance getting worse.
Medical bankruptcies won't go away either. Writing for the Consumer Reports health blog, Kevin McCarthy discusses the preservation of annual caps on coverage, which I wrote about here, and brings up an additional problem the current bill won't solve:
Another problem with the Senate bill is that it doesn't plug a loophole that a lot of junk insurance plans use: not counting deductibles or co-payments for doctor's visits or prescription drug payments toward a plan's annual out-of-pocket maximum. That can be a catastrophe for people who are seriously ill. And it's one of the things we recommended legislators fix.
The Senate bill does say that the stingiest plans must cap consumer's out-of-pocket payments at around $6,000 (at least in the first year after reform goes into effect; the cap could go up in succeeding years based on inflation). But it fails to specify that ALL out-of-pocket expenses-- deductibles, coinsurance, co-payments, and similar charges--would count against that out-of-pocket-maximum. The House bill does. It's not too late for the Senate to follow suit.
Those who keep defending compromises made in the Senate need to explain why Democrats won't take a hit for these and other flaws in the bill.

Below is a draft, evolving version of the MMDS book. We have added Jure Leskovec as a coauthor, and at this point added only one new chapter, on mining large graphs. However, we will be making available new chapters on large-scale machine-learning algorithms and dimensionality reduction, as well as expanding Chapter 2 on map-reduce algorithm design.

From the Preface of v1.1
This book evolved from material developed over several years by Anand Rajaraman and Jeff Ullman for a one-quarter course at Stanford. The course CS345A, titled "Web Mining," was designed as an advanced graduate course, although it has become accessible and interesting to advanced undergraduates. When Jure Leskovec joined the Stanford faculty, we reorganized the material considerably. He introduced a new course CS224W on network analysis and added material to CS345A, which was renumbered CS246. The three authors also introduced a large-scale data-mining project course, CS341. The book now contains material taught in all three courses.
What the Book Is About
At the highest level of description, this book is about data mining. However, it focuses on data mining of very large amounts of data, that is, data so large it does not fit in main memory. Because of the emphasis on size, many of our examples are about the Web or data derived from the Web. Further, the book takes an algorithmic point of view: data mining is about applying algorithms to data, rather than using data to "train" a machine-learning engine of some sort. The principal topics covered are:
1. Distributed file systems and map-reduce as a tool for creating parallel algorithms that succeed on very large amounts of data.
2. Similarity search, including the key techniques of minhashing and locality-sensitive hashing.
3. Data-stream processing and specialized algorithms for dealing with data that arrives so fast it must be processed immediately or lost.
4. The technology of search engines, including Google's PageRank, link-spam detection, and the hubs-and-authorities approach.
5. Frequent-itemset mining, including association rules, market-baskets, the A-Priori Algorithm and its improvements.
6. Algorithms for clustering very large, high-dimensional datasets.
7. Two key problems for Web applications: managing advertising and recommendation systems.
8. Algorithms for analyzing and mining the structure of very large graphs,especially social-network graphs.
If you're really big into big data, or wanna-be, this eBook looks to be just for you.

I put pears instead of apples and I didn't use bananas because we didn't have any but it still tasted superb! Very sweet!

Santa has his own form of air transportation, but the rest of us have to fly on airplanes. If anything goes wrong with those planes on take off or landing, there's a special group of firefighters trained to handle it.
Sky Harbor Airport has its own fire station built right next to Terminal 3.
In March 2001, a Southwest Airlines jet skid off the end of the runway at Sky Harbor. The plane was surrounded by emergency crews, making sure everyone got off the plane safely.
Just over a year later, an America West jet had problems with its landing gear and again, crews were there to make sure the plane didn't catch fire.
Preparing for the unknown is the biggest job here at Station 19, a Phoenix fire station that handles all emergences at Sky Harbor. From things like falls and heart attacks to planes in trouble.
For the first time ever, the crews there allowed us to come along as they shut down a runway and prepared for something that everybody hopes never happens.
These things are big -- about 14 feet tall, weighing 44 tons, but for something their size, they really move. They have to be fast because they have to get right next to a plane as it comes in down the runway and get right on top of any crash scene.
Once the big trucks get on site, they open up their big water canons. The spray is controlled by joysticks inside the trucks, so firefighters can get right up next to a plane on fire without having to get out and possibly get burned.
Going from parked at the station to anywhere at the airport and spraying water takes them three minutes or less. That's crucial because fire spreads so quickly on a plane -- something these firefighters dealt back in 1988 when a Southwest plane's landing gear caught fire.
"The rubber was on fire where the wheels had ground down..and the flames were lapping up above the wing..up high enough where the people inside could see the flames," said firefighter Mike Shrauner.
The team gets called out about three times a week for airline emergencies. Just about every one of those planes gets down with no incident at all and that's just fine with the firefighters at Station 19.
"You hope you never see it. I hope I go through my whole career without seeing a crash..but on the same end, you've got to be prepared for it."

This seminar covers the process of creating cultural change to achieve a positive, proactive safety culture. It is designed for those who need a road map of tools that will enable them to guide others in their organizations to achieve breakthrough safety performance. Dr. Simon will illustrate the principles of transformative culture change by drawing on case examples of top-tier safety cultures that have demonstrated long-term sustainability even in the face of internal and external threats.
Learn to
· Develop a culture within your organization that is receptive to injury and loss prevention
· Discuss how culture and organizational systems affect safety performance
· Separate the visible from the invisible influences a safety culture has on safety performance, policies and procedures vs. norms, beliefs and assumptions
· Implement a methodology to analyze and modify group norms that interfere with creating a positive safety culture
· Use concrete, practical techniques to get and sustain grassroots involvement, ownership and leadership in safety
Instructors: Steven I. Simon, Ph.D., President, Culture Change Consultants, Inc., Larchmont, NY

NASA maintains a planetary protection policy to avoid the forward biological contamination of other worlds by terrestrial organisms, and back biological contamination of Earth from the return of extraterrestrial materials by spaceflight missions. Forward-contamination issues related to Mars missions were addressed in a 2006 National Research Council (NRC) book, Preventing the Forward Contamination of Mars. However, it has been more than 10 years since back-contamination issues were last examined.
Driven by a renewed interest in Mars sample return missions, this book reviews, updates, and replaces the planetary protection conclusions and recommendations contained in the NRC's 1997 report Mars Sample Return: Issues and Recommendations. The specific issues addressed in this book include the following:

Right after Roy Oswalt signed with the Texas Rangers, I wrote a feature about how the Rangers should have waited until the deadline to target an ace like Zack Greinke. Don't read it; it's terrible. A sample:
blah blah blah Rangers are so good and they have so many pitchers blah blah blah what's the point? blah blah blah they're guaranteed to make the playoffs so whatever
Since then, the Angels have made up some serious ground in the A.L. West, and the Rangers hit a little bit of a skid. It wasn't much of a skid, seeing as they've won seven of their last eight games. But it was enough to make you think they aren't the 1998 Yankees, despite what the run differential would suggest.
More importantly, they've had injuries. A bunch of them. The injury replacements have needed injury replacements. Derek Holland, Neftali Feliz, and Alexei Ogando have all succumbed to injuries, which leaves the Rangers using Justin Grimm and Scott Feldman a heckuva lot more than they thought they would need to.
So that stupid stuff about Roy Oswalt being a luxury for the Rangers? Sorry about that. I had a deadline, and I think my blood sugar was low. It's now pretty clearly a great thing for the Rangers to have Oswalt and the depth he provides, especially through the slog of the regular season.
Oswalt pitched his best game since joining the Rangers organization, and Nolan Ryan was there to watch.
"There wasn't a wow factor, but he used both sides of the plate," Ryan said. "He threw strikes. He wasn't as sharp as he can be, but he wasn't wild. Ideally, if this was spring training, he'd have two more starts and be ready. But given the circumstances, we'll just have to review everything."
They might bring Oswalt up after just one more start, or they might give him those two starts.
The important thing is they have Oswalt now. If the injury wave had hit just a couple of weeks earlier, Oswalt would have had a lot more leverage, and he'd probably be a little richer. But consider this a raised glass in the general direction of Jon Daniels, Nolan Ryan, and the Rangers organization. They were at the top of the charts, and they could have kicked back for a couple of months. Instead, when an opportunity to add pitching depth came up, they pounced.
And in the subsequent weeks, it was clear how quickly the pitching depth of any team can vanish. The Rangers didn't time it perfectly -- they still have the injuries and they still don't have Oswalt on the roster -- but they probably aren't freaking out quite as much about Derek Holland's shoulder or Neftali Feliz's elbow. Oswalt might not be an ace, but as long as he's the Roy Oswalt from last year, or anything close to it, the Rangers made a pretty nifty move.
