Sergeant Steven Vidaurre, a Lubbock native, is serving his country with pride after a life of hardship.
Vidaurre joined the human resources division of the Army in late 2004. He began his first tour of duty two years later in Korea. His second was in Afghanistan in 2010. Currently, he is stationed in North Carolina at Fort Bragg.
"I am in a special forces unit. We are the support system for the Green Berets. They are the ones who do all the dirty work. We make sure they are taken care of as far as pay issues. So when they go outside of the wire, they don't have to worry about anything," said Vidaurre.
Life hasn't been easy though. Vidaurre spent most of it in foster care at the Buckner Children's Home. When he graduated from Coronado High School in 1999, he was able to get out on his own. Shortly after, he attended South Plains College.
"There were six houses, four rooms and three beds. So there were twelve kids per house," he said.
Luckily, he wasn't alone. His five siblings had the same path. However, at times, they were separated. So Vidaurre made a friend. Her name was Porsha.
"It wasn't too bad. I met a lot of people. I met my wife there," Vidaurre said.
Before that, Vidaurre and Porsha had not talked to each other in years. It was when he went on his first tour that she wanted to make a mends.
"I didn't want him to get hurt over there and not contact him and say I'm sorry," Porsha said.
When he returned from Korea it was love ever since. The couple married in 2009 right before Vidaurre's second tour.
"It was really hard. I prayed every day that he would be ok and that no harm comes his way. One lady was standing in line in a daze, because her husband got killed. I started crying in line because it touched me and I felt for her," she said.
The distance only made it harder.
"You're 7,000 miles away. Internet connection is bad and trying to get on the phone is worse. It's a delay by two seconds when we are talking. If she is saying something, there's a delay and I think I'm repeating myself," he said.
Through the emotional times the pair grew stronger. The newlyweds welcomed their daughter, Stevannah, the fourth addition to their family.
"She looks exactly like him. So that makes it easier," Porsha said.
A tattoo on Vidaurre's left arm reminds him of her when he's away. It also brings back the memories of how he grew up without parents.
"It was not by coincidence that we went to a children's home that was structured, and then we go on to other things in our lives to leave us up to the military," Porsha said.
It was also fate.
"There is a scripture in Isaiah 'many will hear the calling, but few are chosen.' I really believe it's him," Porsha said.
Vidaurre is humbled to be called a hometown hero. A title his brother, once separated by foster care, wanted him to have.
"My kids look up to him. He has always been there for me. It's the least I could do for what I have," Marcus Lloyd said.
Sergeant Steven Vidaurre is in Lubbock on vacation. In the near future he will return for his third tour in Afghanistan.

Catholic Educational Leadership (CEL) students have come to study from the 50 states, as well as many foreign countries throughout the world.
Catholic schools offer an alternative in a pluralistic society. They must be strong if we are to succeed as a true democracy, dependent on an educated citizenry.
Catholic schools do not have the finances, the resources or the enrollment of their public counterparts, so their strength must come from the excellence of preparation and the dedicated commitment of their personnel. It is USF's goal to ensure both through the Catholic Educational Leadership Program.
Students from Catholic and private K-12 schools, diocesan offices, and religious communities, study, pray and socialize together to meet the aims of the program which makes the Catholic Educational Leadership degree "one with a difference."

Excited about 3D printing at home? Don't hold your breath, warns Gartner
Hewlett-Packard remains the leader in the printing space, which is a high-margin business courtesy of ink supplies. However, enterprises are increasingly knowledgeable about the costs of printing and looking to farm management of these devices out to companies like HP and Xerox. Other key players: Lexmark, Eastman Kodak and Ricoh.

Al Jefferson is an old-school big man on a team that wants to embrace an old-school mentality so much that it will soon change its nickname back to the Charlotte Hornets.
So will the newest Charlotte Bobcat fit in well here? Absolutely. Was this a good signing? Absolutely. Will Jefferson push the Bobcats into the NBA playoffs this season?
Well, no.
But Jefferson officially introduced at a press conference Wednesday by the Bobcats after agreeing to terms last week provides Charlotte a dose of respectability and a new force down low. He also shows that owner Michael Jordan really will spend money. That $41 million, three-year contract Jefferson has signed is some serious cash.
During his press conference and in a later interview with The Observers Rick Bonnell and me, Jefferson reminded me of former Bobcats forward Gerald Wallace in both tone and attitude.
Like Wallace, Jefferson hails from the Deep South, has a good sense of humor and speaks honestly about his own flaws and attributes. Jefferson himself brought up his old nickname, The Black Hole, from his time with Minnesota because the ball would go into him and never would come back out.
Im not going to deny it, Jefferson said of the nickname. I was.
But after his three most recent NBA seasons in Utah, Jefferson said he had become a better, more unselfish person and player. He certainly exudes maturity when you talk to him.
As for the Bobcats, Jefferson sounds like a nine-year NBA veteran who isnt going to accept any excuses from his younger teammates, most of whom were part of the 28-120 combined record over the past two years that ranks as the NBAs worst.
Said Jefferson: One of the things I told Kemba (Walker, whom Jefferson shares an agent and a modest friendship with) when I first agreed to come here was, Im not coming here to just fall into place with this losing thing thats gone on the last couple of years. Im coming here to help yall turn this thing around. He agreed. It starts with us. ... Its something you want to do something about. And were the ones who can do it.
My friend and colleague Tom Sorensen has criticized the Jefferson signing, in large part because he wants the Bobcats to have another bad team next season to get another high pick for the 2014 NBA draft preferably the first pick.
It sounds fine in theory, but we all know that it rarely works. This isnt the NFL. Even if you have the worst record in the NBA, theres a 75 percent chance you wont get the No.1 pick. The Bobcats had that happen in 2012, when a 7-59 record still didnt earn them Anthony Davis.
So if youve got an opportunity to get a player like Jefferson, then you go for it. Right now. Yes, hes more toward the end of his career than the beginning. But he has been very durable the past three years, hes only 28, he will be a low-maintenance locker room leader. He will make Cody Zeller and Bismack Biyombo more effective by mentoring them and allowing each to do what they do best.
Low post scoring thats a premium in our business, said Rod Higgins, the Bobcats president of basketball operations. If you can find a guy who can score in the low post with his back to the basket, normally those guys arent available.
Heres a stat to chew on: Jefferson is one of only two players in the NBA to have averaged at least 17 points and nine rebounds in each of the past six seasons. Dwight Howard is the only other one who has done it.
Jefferson who said Dallas and New Orleans also showed interest in signing him but that Utah had decided to go younger at his position and was not going to re-sign him. He ranked second among centers in scoring average at 17.8 points per game and sixth among centers in defensive rebounds.
So, if youre only a casual NBA fan, why have you barely heard of him?
Because hes not flashy. He isnt a great leaper a lot of his best work is below the rim although hes got a nasty pump fake. He plays sort of like Moses Malone for you old-timers, and thats a comparison he relishes. And, perhaps most importantly, he has made the playoffs only twice in nine years and didnt make a dent either time.
So while Jefferson is now rich beyond his wildest dreams he had growing up in Prentiss, Miss., hes still hungry.
Simply put, he hasnt won enough to be considered an elite NBA player. Charlotte would seem an unlikely place to try and change that label, but thats what Jefferson is determined to do.
The East is way different from the West, said Davis, who has played in both conferences. In the East, you have maybe 5-6 great teams you know are going to be there. With the West, you have 12-13. And with the Bobcats, I just think with me coming, and with the guys theyve already got, and with a lot of focus and dedication I think we have a chance to turn it around.

The Big Red Wolf Report: After Lions, before Saints
By Ron Wolfley
Originally published: Sep 20, 2013 - 11:45 am
Originally published: Sep 20, 2013 - 11:45 am
The Arizona Cardinals beat the Detroit Lions 25-21 last week to improve to 1-1 on the season. Big Red scored nine points in the fourth quarter and did not allow the Lions offense to score in the second half. It was the definition of winning a game late by making more plays than the opponent.
Now the Cards are preparing for their toughest test of the early season, the 2-0 New Orleans Saints.
Running the ball well against the Saints will be critical. The Saints struggle to stop the run and, on paper, this is one area where the Cards can exploit defensive coordinator Rob Ryan's unit.

Time for GreenwoodPosted by Rodney Lister in Uncategorized
I'm just about to start loading my car to move out to Greenwood for the next five weeks. Greenwood is a music camp in Cummington, in Western Massachusetts, mainly devoted to chamber music (although all the kids play in the orchestra and they all sing in the chorus, both of which perform every week on the Saturday night concerts along with all the chamber music groups.) It's hard to say exactly what it is about the piece that makes it as wonderful and magical as it is, but it is. Even though it's sort or trite to say so, people who have been there as kids (or as faculty) feel some kind of common bond, and they tend to stay in touch with each other throughout their lives. I was there first for a week in 1992, or 1991, I think… I wrote a 'cello quintet which was played; I'm still in contact with four of the five kids who played the piece. The Chiara Quartet has been in residence since last summer; two of them are former campers.
This summer is Greenwood's 75th anniversary, and there are various celebratory things happening, including a concert on July 6 by the Chiara and Joel Krosnick (another alum) featuring the Schubert Quintet. Peter Westergaard, also a former camper, from the 40's, has written a flute quartet which will be played by students sometime during the summer. There's a piece commissioned for the orchestra every year; this year the composer is Geoff Hudson. I'm not sure what else might be done. (I've been thinking maybe Irving Fine Quartet, maybe Shostakovich 7th, maybe Copland Sextet, but who knows…In a way it doesn't matter.)
The concerts start a week from tomorrow. They start at 7:30 and go on for a long time. They're pretty wonderful. The kids are incredibly good, and I don't think I've ever experienced an audience anywhere else that listens so intently, with such concentration and interest. If anybody's going to be in the neighborhood, they're worth going to hear.

The recommended prerequisites for a backward roll to support on the rings are a strict muscle-up and a deep ring push-up, according to Dusty Hyland of Dogtown CrossFit.
"The backward roll is literally just a pull-over on the dynamic apparatus of the rings," he explains.
The first step is employing the false grip, Hyland says.
"If you have a strict muscle-up, that's a great pre-req. It sets your wrist above the ring, where you're going to receive… Continue Reading

A bumper plate is a simple tool with which to get an athlete to feel the proper body position needed for a handstand, says CrossFit Level 1 Seminar Staff member Camille Leblanc-Bazinet.
With a bumper plate held overhead, the athlete will learn to squeeze his butt and bring down the rib cage with the abs, eliminating the excessive lower-back arch often seen in inverted athletes.

This is a very very nice pillow. Love the velvet back and stripes, gives it some depth. It is cozy yet elegant on my couch. I think the down insert could be an inch larger to give in an overstuffed look. I am going to use the pillow cover and my old pillow insert so it can have the overstuffed look I am going for. The color is very nice. The background is more off white or tan really. I have been looking a while for this style and color pillow so very happy to have bought this. I would suggest going for the lower priced insert like I did as the down could be slightly larger.
I bought the orange. The orange is much darker in person and the cream color is really gray-ish. I was looking for it to be much brighter. It is very well constructed and the material, other than the color, seem great.
This pillow appears to be red and white (which is what I wanted) but in reality it is dark taupe and red. I am very dissapointed.
The pillows are very well made! The colors are PERFECT! In the web site the beige is More khaki but that was perfect! You will be very Satisfied and impressed! I LOVE THEM!
The "orange" color is a very dark rust and the background is tan. Not at all the vibrant pillow as pictured. If you are going for a subdued tone - this would fit. The quality and style of the pillow and cover are fine. I rated low on the overall value due to poor photo and description of the product. Overstock doesn't honor returns due to color variation.
These pillows have quality construction. They arrived separate from the down inserts. At first, I thought the inserts were going to be too flat, but they fluffed up after they were out of their shipping envelope. I purchased the chocolate brown and medium sand/taupe zebra stripes. The backs of the pillows were also chocolate and were made from a fabric similiar to a short velvet which was better that the canvas I was expecting. Great Pillows....I would definitely purchase more!
Pillow looks exactly as described and photographed on overstock.com. I have paid far more for custom made pillows that had the same quality of fabric and craftsmanship as these.
The pillows were better than I imagined. The quality and feel of them was superior. I would definitely recommend them to a friend! I also ordered them at the last minute and they arrived before Christmas, which made for a great present to my Sister! She loved them.......

Cooperstown Crier
---- — The town of Hartwick marked its history, literally, on Aug. 8, by restoring a historic marker at 3650 state Route 205 in honor of Marcus Wells.
Wells, a farmer, carpenter and lawyer, is best known for the hymn "Holy Spirit, Faithful Guide," which he wrote in Hartwick in 1858. Deb Ward sang Wells' hymn at the dedication.
Wells lived in the house where the marker has been restored.
The house is now the parsonage house for Reverend Laverne Saxer and his wife Marie of the Christian Church of Hartwick.
"The crux of the song is that the Holy Spirit is always by your side," Saxer said at the marker unveiling. "If you look at Marcus Wells' life … you see the fruit of the Holy Spirit, the reality of it played out in his life."
The marker honoring Wells was the final marker of six that the Hartwick Historical Society restored with a federal grant. It was the only one that had to be completely replaced. According to Saxer, the original marker was knocked down during a snow storm in 1971 and a wooden replacement rotted away nearly 20 years ago.
The other five markers were cleaned and repainted. They mark the Baptist Church, the Lutheran Church, Hartwick Seminary, the grave of Ebenezer White in the South Hartwick Cemetery and the grave of a revolutionary war solider in Pleasant Valley.
"If you look at them, four of them are religious, which honors why Hartwick was founded in the first place, as New Jerusalem," said Gloria Waro, vice president of the Historical Society. "But if you look a little deeper, the other two have religious ties as well. The one at the South Hartwick Cemetery honors Ebenezer White, who was a itinerant minister and the other one honors Abner Adams, a revolutionary war soldier. I think if you do a little digging, you will find he also had a religious background."
Waro said that watching the historical society members honor the local history has been gratifying.
"It has been a lot of fun to watch this process," she said.
Although the original markers are all restored, the society has ideas for some new ones, according to town historian Carol Goodrich.
"There are a few more we would like to place," she said.
Added Historical Society president Caren Kelsey: "We are going to write for another grant."

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Kentucky's largest school district won't ban handshakes after athletic events, despite a suggestive directive from the Kentucky High School Athletic Association to do so.
In a directive handed down by KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett, post-game handshakes are no longer being encouraged.
"Over the last two to three years, on more than a couple dozen occasions, the kids have forgotten how to act," said Tackett.
According to the KHSAA, there have been 24 incidents throughout the state in which post-game handshakes have led to altercations over the past three years. Now Tackett is calling for changes.
"The directive is: don't do them," instructed Tackett. "If you do do them, you're held accountable for what happens during those."
As part of the directive, the KHSAA is now requiring referees exit the field or court immediately after games, leaving teams to conduct and control handshakes on their own.
"Failure to supervise is going to be viewed as a penalty," said Tackett.
With a soccer match-up set for Wednesday night between Trinity and Ballard high schools, attention shifted from the rivalry to whether the teams would shake hands following the game. Neither of the school's leaders wished to speak on camera about the KSHAA handshake directive, but both told WAVE 3 News team handshakes following the match were likely to occur.
In a statement released by Jefferson County Public Schools Wednesday, district officials made clear they intend to "honor the tradition of shaking hands after events" to ensure "student athletes are taught character first." The statement went on to acknowledge, however, that the responsibility of monitoring the post-game handshakes would fall on the shoulders of coaches and event staff.
Former Ballard High School basketball coach Scott Davenport applauded the district's decision. According to the current Bellarmine University head basketball coach, doing away with the post-game tradition strips student athletes of an important lesson in sportsmanship.
"To do away with it, I think that's just taking a wrong stance in terms of teaching," said Davenport. "Yeah, tempers get heated. It's competition. So in the real world, if things don't go our way, we can't just tuck tail and quit. We have to learn to handle it the right way."
While Tackett specifically identified post-game handshakes turned altercations as the driving force for the directive, some suspect it was a September football brawl in Indiana that sparked the discretionary order. During the September 27 incident, coaches and players fought on the field at the match-up between Arsenal Tech of Indianapolis and Fort Wayne South Side before police restored order.
Whether or not teams will follow the no-handshake suggestion remains their choice, but Tackett warns if the act is not monitored, penalties will be given.
In a press release put out by State Representative Steve Riggs (D-Louisville) Wednesday evening, Riggs announced plans "to file legislation stripping the authority of the governing body to creating fines of this nature." Riggs said he based his decision following a statement recently made by Tackett to the Louisville Courier-Journal claiming "school officials and coaches who fail to observe the directive could fined up to $1,000."
Riggs went on to say in the release, "promoting sportsmanship is a coach's job and they should not have to be looking over their shoulder when they encourage young student athletes to be gracious winners and losers."
According to Riggs, Chairman of the House Local Government Committee, "Not only do I believe the KHSSA was wrong in pushing this directive and threatening school officials and coaches with fines, I am not convinced they had the authority to do that in the first place. When the General Assembly created the KHSSA, it did so to help foster pride, athletics and school spirit in Kentucky - not to create a government agency out creating fines out of thin air. My legislation is going to reiterate and clarify this fact and hopefully remind the KHSSA to focus on its mission of high school athletics."

The Fed's Structure
The Fed's Functions
The Fed's Functions
As the U.S. central bank, the Federal Reserve carries out a number of functions that affect the nation's economic well-being. Through monetary policy, which influences the availability of money and credit, the Fed plays a major role in keeping inflation in check while promoting economic growth. By supervising and regulating commercial banks, the Fed fosters the U.S. financial system's safety and soundness. And by providing check-clearing and other payment services to depository institutions and the federal government, the Fed helps make commercial transactions more efficient.
Monetary Policy
The objectives of the nation's economic policy are to protect the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar, encourage conditions that sustain economic growth and a high level of employment, and foster a reasonable balance in transactions with other nations over the long run. The Federal Reserve contributes to these objectives through its monetary policy actions, which affect the availability and cost of money and credit.
The Fed, seeking to adjust monetary policy to changing economic conditions, bases its policy decisions on current economic and financial information. For example, the FOMC's policy actions are influenced at least in part by the economic analysis provided by staff economists and analysts at the Reserve Banks and the Board of Governors. Each component of the Fedthe Board of Governors, the Reserve Banks, and the FOMCplays various roles in formulating and carrying out monetary policy.
Tools of Monetary Policy
The Fed has three policy tools for influencing reserves: open market operations, the discount rate, and reserve requirements.
Open market operations. The most flexible, and therefore most important, of the Fed's monetary policy tools is open market operationsthe purchase and sale of government securities in the open market. The Fed's open market operations are directed by the FOMC and carried out through the trading desk of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
To increase the availability of money and credit, the Fed buys government securities. These purchases are paid for by crediting the reserve accounts (held at Reserve Banks) of the depository institutions handling the securities dealers' transactions. These larger reserve accounts give the banks more money for lending and investing elsewhere. To tighten money and credit flows the Fed sells securities, thereby restraining the growth in banks' reserve balances and restricting their lending and investing activities.
The discount rate. Depository institutions sometimes borrow money from Reserve Banks to cover temporary deposit drains. The discount ratethe rate of interest charged on these short-term, discount window loansis set by Reserve Banks' boards of directors, subject to approval by the Board of Governors. A change in the discount rate can either inhibit or encourage financial institutions' lending and investment activities by making it more or less expensive for them to obtain funds. Although the discount rate may have little direct effect on market conditions, a change in the discount rate can be an important signal of the Fed's policy direction.
Reserve requirements. Within limits prescribed by law, the Board of Governors can change the percentage of deposits that depository institutions must set aside as reserves. The Federal Reserve changes reserve requirements much less often than it does the discount rate because such changes have a further-reaching impact on the financial industry.
Supervision of Banks
Several federal and state agencies, including the Federal Reserve, share the responsibility for writing these regulations and for examining banks to determine their compliance. The Federal Reserve supervises all bank and financial holding companies as well as state-chartered banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System. The Fed also regulates foreign activities of all U.S. banks and certain U.S. activities of foreign banks.
Bank and financial holding companies and certain banks that wish to acquire or merge with other banks must obtain Federal Reserve approval. Staff at a Reserve Bank analyze the banks and financial markets that will be affected by a proposed merger or acquisition, taking into account the convenience and needs of the community to be served and the financial and managerial resources of the existing and proposed institutions. The Board of Governors approves or disapproves merger and acquisition applications based on Reserve Banks' findings and recommendations.
In addition, Reserve Banks monitor commercial banks' compliance with consumer protection laws relating to credit, such as the Truth in Lending Act. Reserve Bank specialists help banks interpret technical requirements of the laws. They also provide information and assistance to consumers with questions or complaints regarding commercial banks' services.
Discount Window Loans
Generally, discount window loans are made for a day or two to help the borrowers adjust their reserve position. Discount window credit is subject to governing statutes and is administered according to Federal Reserve policy guidelines by lending officers at the individual Reserve Banks.
Services to Depository Institutions
Since the passage of the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980, Reserve Banks' financial services have been available not just to banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System but also to nonmember commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, and mutual savings banks.
In some ways Federal Reserve Banks' services to depository institutions are similar to depository institutions' services to their customerstransferring funds, providing cash, and accepting and safeguarding deposits.
Payment System Services
Check collection. Many checks are cashed or deposited at depository institutions far from the institutions on which they are drawn. More than half of such interbank checks are collected through the Federal Reserve Banks' check collection system. (Another large portion is handled within banking organizations or their correspondent banks. The remainder are processed by commercial banks or other private-sector check processors.) High-speed, computer-controlled machines at Reserve Banks sort checks, total the amounts, credit the depositing institution, and charge the institution on which they are drawn. The checks are then sent, either in paper or electronic form, to the latter depository institution.
Electronic payments and funds transfers. Reserve Banks and one other private-sector operator provide nationwide processing of automated clearinghouse (ACH) electronic payments. ACH payments, which are cheaper to process than checks, are used for direct deposit of payroll and corporate payments to vendors, and consumers use ACH transfers to pay insurance premiums, mortgages, loans, and other bills.
Cash services. Although checks and electronic payments account for most of the dollar volume of spending, cash is still an important medium of exchange.
New coins and notes are shipped from the U.S. Treasury to the Federal Reserve Banks, where the cash is stored until needed to fill orders from depository institutions. Depository institutions, of course, furnish cash to businesses and the public.
When depository institutions have excess cash on hand, they may return it to the Reserve Banks, where the amount is verified and worn-out notes are destroyed. Counterfeits are removed and sent to the Secret Service. Worn, bent, and foreign coins, too, are culled. Reusable coins and notes are stored until needed. When depository institutions order cash, the Reserve Banks fill the orders from their stocks of new and used coins and notes.

Winter is coming in fast, and along with it, comes more cold weather. Staying warm and cozy is the top priorities of families, and that is why I suggest you purchase a Heat Pump for the Auckland weather. They work great in the climate, because it rarely dips below zero degrees. That is good, because what heat pumps do is they take the air from outside the house, heat it up, and then redistribute it inside. If the air outside is too cold, then the pump will not work. That is why it is too cold for places like Chicago, where it dips below 10 degrees celcious on a regular basis during the winter, but great for Auckland.
There are other great ways to stay warm though. By using other methods, you will save on electricity. A good idea is to lessen how cold you get when you go outside, so that it takes less time for your core body temperature to heat up once you get back inside.
You can stay warm this winter by wearing the right clothing. When dressing for winter, it is important to dress in layers. Use thermal, tight-fitting clothing for your body, and you won't have to wear heavy jackets. You can also wear clothing that is made out of feathers, as feathers are very light but are incredibly warm. These are called down jackets. Ducks and chickens use feathers to stay warm: it creates an insulated layer that is incredibly light. These are called down jackets. They are very easy to store and pack, as they fold down to virtually nothing.
Stay warm and cozy by eating the right food. If you boil some nice hot soup, that is a great way to rejuvinate after being outside in the cold. For soup, I would recommend delicious, hearty flavours such as potato and leek or chunky vegetable soups. Cook up some soup, and then sit under your heat pump. Instead of soup, you can make any other hot drink, such as hot chocolate, coffee or tea. If you are on a diet, herbal tea is a great treat.
It is important that we make sure to stay warm as the temperature in Auckland drops. Heat Pumps keep the house cozy, and wearing the right clothing ensures you get less cold outside. By staying warm, we will get less sick and our bodies will thank us. So remember: dress smart, and look after your family.

Delays snarl traffic to London's Olympic park
LONDON, England (AP) — Severe delays were reported this morning on a busy subway line serving Olympic venues, on a day that heavy crowds are expected as the track and field events get under way.
Transport for London said service on the Central Line, which links the centre of the city with the Olympic complex, had been briefly suspended because of a signal failure. Officials said full service was resumed by 9:00 am after a partial suspension that lasted more than an hour, but there were still delays in the line mid-morning.
The delays have a knock-on effect throughout the system as commuters and Olympics fans switch to other lines.
The problems developed on what officials expect to be one of the busiest days at the Olympics Park in east London, with some 200,000 people anticipated for a variety of events. The heavy visitor numbers are expected to strain the transport network, which depends on a variety of train lines being able to reach the park.
Today marks the first day of events inside the 80,000-seat Olympic Stadium, which had so far only been used for the gala opening ceremony.
Network Rail officials said the Javelin train linking central London to the Olympic Park was working properly Friday morning.
Officials are also restricting access to an oversize shopping mall next to the Olympic Park today and Saturday because of the large crowds expected. Only ticket holders or accredited workers will be allowed into the mall during the day.

What would you do if a total stranger on the street offered you free money? Would you take it? Or would you give it back if you knew the money could help save lives? That is the premise of an unusual fundraising drive called "The Giving Experiment."
On Thursday afternoon, the non-profit group, The Life You Can Save, hit the streets of Northwest D.C. to give away money and capture reactions and responses.
The responses were generally an initial shock, followed by glee and then confusion. Many passersby wondered why a total stranger would just give away money.
After hearing that if the money were given back, not only would it go to charity, but that it would matched, most people returned the cash.
The Life You Can Save has conducted The Giving Experiment in New York, Seattle, Santa Monica, Calif., and Austin, Texas.
So far, thousands of dollars have been given away, and even more has been raised to fight poverty and diseases like malaria around the world.
Laura Gamse, with The Life You Can Save, says, "We're doing our best to encourage people do just do whatever makes them happiest, and there's some research that says being generous, makes you happiest."
It turns out D.C. is quite altruistic. Only one person took the cash, about $40, and four others donated a total of $72 on top of the cash they gave back.
The Life You Can Save gave away $4,310 and will be donating the total of $4,342 to the Against Malaria Foundation.

20. People will need a lot of time, for the most part, to really think about things.
21. Always have an escape plan. You may not need it, but if you do, you won't be surprised. Have a place to crash for the night, and money you can get to in case a worst-case scenario does occur.
22. Have resources for you to call—you need sup-port too!
23. Just because you COME OUT to someone once, doesn't mean you won't have to do it again, and again, and again.
24. Do not try to answer questions about Richard Simmons, Rosie O'Donnell, Keanu Reeves, Tom Cruise, Richard Gere [or the gerbils], Oscar Wilde, the Spice Girls, Bert and Ernie, or anyone else.

Philadelphia, Pa.,

Students discuss a week of behavioral health career exploration, with their parents looking on.
And that hands-on practice – and lots of it -- makes all the difference. For the 11 high school students who had their first experience trying out work as a therapist this week, it wasn't all cheers and successes. They also struggled with nerves and uncertainty. During a debriefing discussion, several commented that they didn't know what to say and were afraid of making a mistake.
Comer, however, offered reassurance and words of wisdom from "that famous philosopher, Billy Joel, who said, 'Mistakes are the only thing you can truly call your own.'" We learn from our mistakes and by practicing what we learn, he told students. "The best ability for a counselor is to be self-reflective, to learn and grow. If we're not able to reflect and learn ourselves, how can we expect that of others?"

I've sold two leftover Christmas sprouts on eBay for £100
1:59pm Friday 4th January 2013 in Ledbury
A MAGICIAN from Herefordshire has auctioned off two leftover Brussels sprouts from his Christmas dinner on eBay for £100 after attracting 15,000 views.
Cheeky Dan Allam, 21, from Ledbury, decided to list the unpopular vegetables on the auction site to help a charity after polishing off the rest of his plate on Christmas Day.
He immediately uploaded a picture of the sprouts and was stunned when he began receiving dozens of messages from prospective buyers.
The organic sprouts, which were handpicked from Dan's garden on Christmas Eve, have been kept fresh in iced water, and the cash is going to charity Make A WIsh Foundation.
He said: "It's one of the most bizarre things I've ever done - I thought it would raise £1."

Wall Street Is a Casino in the Clouds
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Last summer, when I visited TheStreet.com's Wall Street office on my way to an assignment, I noticed the area around the New York Stock Exchange had become something of a movie set, that it was no longer the center of trading but a stage where trading was discussed.
I was more right than I realized. It's clear now that Wall Street is indeed obsolete, replaced by computers and software, and that the actual ownership of things is less important than the casinos of risk built on top of them.
The deal reported by Reuters between NYSE Euronext (NYX) and InterContinental Exchange (ICE), along with the deal between Getco and Knight Capital Group (KCG), reported at Sfgate.com both reflect this new reality.
Trading is moving to cloud computing platforms, traders becoming software algorithms. The instruments you see priced on the TV crawls, the equity in real companies, are no longer where the action is. The exchange owners are welcoming their new cloud overlords, taking stock in the acquirers as part of these deals.ICE is based near my home in Atlanta -- actually the suburb of Sandy Springs -- but its computer center is in Chicago. It's a browser-based front-end that can run Java programs and looks, to my eyes, pretty compatible with Microsoft's (MSFT) Azure cloud. It is mainly a derivatives market, selling futures, options and swaps tied to oil, indexes, and commodities. While ICE had been trying to get NYX for some time -- and was previously part of Nasdaq's (NDAQ) $11.3 billion bid for the exchange, I think the writing on the wall here was Hurricane Sandy. Sandy closed the exchange floor for days and, frankly, a global, cloud-based trading world can't have that. ICE and NYX are about the same size in terms of revenue but ICE's business is much more profitable, and the multiple paid for its earnings dwarfs that of NYX, which is why it's able to do the deal. The Getco-KCG deal is even more virtual. Getco is a privately held market maker, which is using this reverse merger to go public. Both companies are just running computerized trading systems, and Getco was able to move because, earlier this year, someone at Knight made a mistake, as Kiddynamitesworld.com said, executing a week's worth of trades in a matter of minutes.

Sand Creek Community Gardens
Be a gardener
Dig a ditch,
toil and sweat,
and turn the earth upside down
and seek the deepness
and water the plants in time.
Continue this labor
and make sweet floods to run
and noble and abundant fruits
to spring.
Take this food and drink
and carry it to God
as your true worship.
Julian of Norwich, Christian Mystic (1342 – ca. 1416)
The Sand Creek Community Gardens is a
commons for the community, a gathering place for learning and mentoring, and where food can be produced and shared with others. Over 50 persons are involved in gardening in the 2012 garden year. Students from Bethel College and families in the community work side by side in the gardens. Several inter-generational plots involve parents gardening with children, and one adult garden with children from the community.
The gardens include 32 plots each measuring 20 by 20 feet. Two of these plots are community managed perennial and annual flower gardens. The gardeners care for landscaping around a shed, manage compost and mulch bins, and are developing a perennial vegetable and herb garden.
The official governing body is an Advisory Council with representatives from the three sponsoring agencies:
- Bethel College (including student representatives)
- Bethel College Mennonite Church
- The City of North Newton
A three person management team is responsible for the day to day operation of the gardens.
Download the 2013 Garden Plot Application
- Nurture healthy bodies with locally grown, nutritious food; help reduce family food budgets.
- Encourage exercise and therapeutic labor.
- Foster community through inter-generational interaction; participate in common work days develop shared herb, perennial vegetable and native prairie flower garden; and create areas for social interaction.
- Educate persons in good gardening practices that reflect care for God's creation (water conservation, mulching, appropriate weed control and pest management, composting, building healthy soil).
- Contribute to the
greeninitiative of the North Newton community and the importance it attaches to a pleasant physical environment.
Guidelines for Gardeners
- Smoking and use of alcohol is prohibited.
- Small children are to be supervised by an adult.
- No pets or vehicles are permitted beyond the parking area.
- All plots must be completely cleared no later than Thanksgiving Day to facilitate follow-up plowing of the entire area. All tomato cages and other structures are to be removed from the gardens for the winter months and stored at home. Exceptions are made for students who do not live in the area, and plan to garden the following year. Arrangements my be made for cold frames over the winter, or fall crops (e.g. spinach) for the spring harvest.
- Water costs (metered by the City of North Newton) are divided equally among the plots. An annual assessment, based on water use the prior year(s), is to be paid with the application fee. An additional fee will be assessed at the end of the gardening year if water use exceeds estimates.
- All plants shall be confined within the borders of the garden plot. Gardeners are expected to control the weeds and grass along the edges of the gardens so that the public paths can be mowed to maintain a neat appearance.
- Reasonable control of weeds is expected. Gardeners are expected to maintain their plots throughout the gardening year, including after a garden is no longer being used for vegetables or flowers. Gardeners must make arrangements for maintenance of their garden when they must be away for an extended period of time.
- All vegetation (including weeds, vines, and other vegetable plant refuse) cleared from the gardens shall be placed in a designated within the compost bin. Refuse should not be placed on the pile where composting is in process. A pile of finished compost is available for gardeners. Please observe the signs.
- Gardeners are expected to attend occasional general meetings convened for discussion and information on best garden practices (water use, mulching, weed control, pests, building soil quality.
- Gardeners are encouraged to participate in general work days. All gardeners are expected to contribute about a half day of work towards the general maintenance and improvement of the gardens.
These regulations are subject to periodic review and change. Suggestions are welcome.
The Sand Creek Community Gardens are located in the Northeast area of the Bethel College campus, just to the north of Memorial Grove and the trail head of the Sand Creek Trail. To access the gardens, turn right (East) on 29th St off of Highway 15. Go past the tennis courts and follow the gravel road around the east side of the tennis courts.

SANTA ANA, Calif. (CBS) -- A Southern California judge is being publicly admonished for saying a rape victim "didn't put up a fight" during her assault and that if someone doesn't want sexual intercourse, the body "will not permit that to happen."
The California Commission on Judicial Performance voted 10-0 to impose a public admonishment Thursday, saying Superior Court Judge Derek Johnson's comments were inappropriate and a breach of judicial ethics.
"In the commission's view, the judge's remarks reflected outdated, biased and insensitive views about sexual assault victims who do not `put up a fight.' Such comments cannot help but diminish public confidence and trust in the impartiality of the judiciary," wrote Lawrence J. Simi, the commission's chairman.
Johnson made the comments in the case of a man who threatened to mutilate the face and genitals of his ex-girlfriend with a heated screwdriver, beat her with a metal baton and made other violent threats before committing rape, forced oral copulation, and other crimes.
Though the woman reported the criminal threats the next day, the woman did not report the rape until 17 days later.
Johnson, a former prosecutor in the Orange County district attorney's sex crimes unit, said during the man's 2008 sentencing that he had seen violent cases on that unit in which women's vaginas were "shredded" by rape.
"I'm not a gynecologist, but I can tell you something: If someone doesn't want to have sexual intercourse, the body shuts down. The body will not permit that to happen unless a lot of damage is inflicted, and we heard nothing about that in this case," Johnson said.
The commission found that Johnson's view that a victim must resist to be a real victim of sexual assault was his opinion, not the law. Since 1980, California law doesn't require rape victims to prove they resisted or were prevented from resisting because of threats.
In an apology to the commission, Johnson said his comments were inappropriate. He said his comments were the result of his frustration during an argument with a prosecutor over the defendant's sentence.
Johnson said he believed the prosecutor's request of a 16-year sentence was not authorized by law. Johnson sentenced the rapist to six years instead, saying that's what the case was "worth."

Dear Evgenja, thank you very much for your comments on our book "Russia". For my wife and myself it was the first time we visited your country, and although it's impossible to have a comprehensive idea of it in only 12 days (in fact the title in Italian means "a taste of Russia"...) we were very much impressed an hope to visit Russia again in the future... At the same time I'd like to congratulate you about your book on Spain and Portugal.
Best regards.

WOODLAND animals are on their way to Thame to play their part in a stage production.
The Secret Garden play is heading to The Players Theatre in Nelson Street on Friday for 7.45pm.
It features various creatures include Captain the fox who is saved from drowning by 12-year-old Dickon.
Dickon is played by actor James Laurence Hunter.
Mr Hunter said: "Dickon is a really young Yorkshire lad with loads of energy and who thinks he can talk to animals and they can talk to him.
"It's a lot of fun to play and the show is brilliant. It has a lot of incredible hand-crafted wooden animal puppets. I have never been to Oxfordshire so I'm really looking forward to it."
"I love getting to go to some really nice towns and villages, it's great," he added.
Mr Hunter, who is originally from Newcastle, is touring with Basingstoke-based Proteus Theatre Company's production of The Secret Garden.

Steve Harvey Nation (@IAmSteveHarvey) December 13, 2013
This will be the first time the Commander-in-Chief has appeared on Harvey's show, which is currently in its second season and was just renewed through 2016. He's previously sat down with Oprah, Jay Leno, and the ladies of The View on their respective couches. "Sitting down with the President is something I've always dreamt of doing, and I am honored to have the opportunity," said Harvey in a statement. "I'm grateful to President Obama for welcoming me and I'm thrilled to share this experience with all my viewers." The two fathers will chat about family and their holiday plans among other topics.
