Number of physicians rises nationwide; states w/caps have fewer docs
Washington, DC – Insurance companies and tort reform groups have sidetracked countless health care debates via the "medical liability" red herring. But an analysis of new American Medical Association data rejects the myth that tort reform attracts more doctors, adding to a growing body of research that proves physicians are not fleeing the profession because of medical liability.
The AMA statistics show the number of doctors continues to rise nationwide and in every state. There are now twice as many doctors per capita than when the AMA began tracking physician numbers in the 1960s.
"This data proves that doctors can practice medicine while patients are protected by a strong civil justice system," said American Association for Justice President Les Weisbrod. "Tort reform does nothing to keep patients safe or provide health care for millions of uninsured Americans."
The number of doctors has risen over the last five years in all states. Only Alaska, Georgia, Montana and Utah – all with medical malpractice caps – did not outpace population growth.
The analysis also found the number of physicians per capita (100,000 population) was 13 percent higher in states without caps. This finding echoes research from the Commonwealth Fund and the American College of Emergency Physicians, which found health care quality and patient safety are far worse in states that have eliminated accountability through tort reform measures.
Additionally, specialties saw significant increases in the number of doctors. Neurosurgeons, OB/GYNS and emergency room doctors all increased over the last five years nationally.
AAJ will also release next week a review of medical malpractice data and research that illustrates how improving patient safety, not limiting people's access to the legal system, should be the focus of upcoming health care reform.

Past quotes from the AMA:
- "Our medical liability system is broken. Skyrocketing medical liability premiums - $200,000 year or more in some high-risk specialties – are forcing physicians to limit services, retire early, or move to a state with reforms where premiums are more stable. The crisis is threatening access to care for patients." -William G. Plested III, President-elect, AMA, 9/2005.
- "Because of the sky-high cost of liability insurance, physicians throughout the country have been forced to limit their practices, stop delivering babies and some are even leaving the practice of medicine completely." -Yank Coble, President, AMA, 2/2003.

Which sounds like the better deal?
Now some college administrators might try to counter the argument by pointing out overall attendance continues to set records and teams are bringing in more money than ever. Also, some early-season games are scheduled against over-matched opponents so there's no pent up demand to buy tickets, especially if a more-enticing home game is in the offing.
There are some who may see this as just a matter of overexposure during a period where people are making cautionary spending decisions. But here is something to fear. There is a disturbing trend among students to skip games. The Wall Street Journal reported that student attendance "is an illness" that has been spreading for years. Over the past four seasons, students at the University of Georgia left empty 39 percent of the seats in their designated section at Sanford Stadium.
Alabama, which has won three of the past four national championships, has experienced the same problem. Almost a third of the student-designated seats at Bryant-Denny Stadium remained empty at times.
This doesn't mean the students are losing interest in football. What it does suggest is that there are sometimes better places to watch the game – such as campus bars or fraternity houses where the beer and the good times flow freely.
The concern has reached the point that the SEC has hired a consulting firm to look into the matter. The league wants to know what it can do to improve the game-experience for its fans, especially the younger ones who the conference counts on becoming the season ticket holders of tomorrow.
In another case, it's a generational matter. Students don't want to give up their technological gadgets. Asking them to surrender use of their cell phones for four quarters is a non-starter. Adequate Wi-Fi capability isn't available in many stadiums and upgrades needed to serve upwards of 100,000 fans is an expensive proposition. Industry experts told The Journal the cost would range somewhere between $2 million to $10 million per stadium.

No. 24 FGCU Travels for Pair of A-Sun Contests
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Currently tied for first in the A-Sun standings, the No. 24 FGCU men's soccer team looks to stay unbeaten in conference play as it closes out the road portion of the schedule. The Blue and Green travel to Buies Creek, N.C. to face Campbell on Thursday, Oct. 14 and then to Macon, Ga. to take on Mercer on Saturday, Oct. 16, with a 7 p.m. kick-off in each contest.
Sitting atop the conference standings at 8-2-2 overall and a perfect 4-0 in the A-Sun alongside Stetson, the Eagles are currently riding a program-best six-game winning streak. The Blue and Green's eight wins equals their season total from all of 2009 and their current home unbeaten streak sits at nine games (8-0-1).
It was another busy week for the Eagles as they earned the 21st spot in the NCAA's first RPI rankings of the season and the 24th spot in Soccer America's weekly national poll. FGCU's ranking is a one-spot improvement over last week's No. 25 national ranking, which was the first in program history. In addition to the national ranking from Soccer America, FGCU earned recognition from three of the five primary collegiate soccer media outlets (NSCAA, Soccer America, College Soccer News), with 20 votes the Blue and Green were slotted 31st in the NSCAA National Top 25 and FGCU also earned votes in College Soccer News' Top 30.
FGCU's recent program-best three-game shutout streak has also seen the offense come alive, as the Eagles have scored nine goals over the last three contests. In their four A-Sun contests, the Blue and Green have given up just one goal while scoring 11, in 362 minutes on the pitch.
Through the first 12 contests, the Eagles have outscored their opponents, 19-8, thanks in large part to sophomore Deion Jones (Tampa, Fla./Freedom HS), who leads the team with 11 points on four goals and three assists. For his pair of goals and one assist in the contests last weekend, the second-year player earned National Team of the Week honors from TopDrawerSoccer.com for the second time this year.
Freshman Ryan Price (Melbourne Beach, Fla./Melbourne Central Catholic) has matched Jones' goal total on the season, while junior Crisitian Raudales (Bradenton, Fla./Manatee HS) sits just one back with a total of three goals.
Fresh off his second A-Sun Defensive Player of the Week honor on the year, redshirt junior keeper Adam Glick (Leola, Pa./Conestoga Valley HS) has started all 12 contests and racked up every minute (1141:46) in goal this season, while sending away a total of 50 shots on goal. Holding a goals against average of 0.63, the net-minder has allowed just eight goals with a save percentage of .862 and has held five opponents scoreless on the year. Glick leads the A-Sun conference in save percentage, saves and shutouts, while sitting second in goals against average.
Slotted second, one spot ahead of the Eagles, in the A-Sun preseason voting, Campbell (4-3-4, 2-1 A-Sun) won its last outing, 3-2, over Mercer. Khalil Johnson leads the Camels with two goals, while Mitchell Cardenas has assisted four goals and scored another for a team-leading six points. Goalkeeper Ryan Amons has started every contest in net for CU and has 38 saves. Nine of the first 13 teams on Campbell's schedule have been ranked in their respective NSCAA region at the time they faced CU. Campbell owns the best record in A-Sun regular season play since 2005 (34-6-5) and stands at 18-2-2 against the A-Sun, since the start of the 2008 campaign. The Camels won the 2005, 2008 and 2009 A-Sun regular season crowns and brought home the 2007 A-Sun tourney title.
Last year at the FGCU Soccer Complex, the Eagles ended the Camel's 18-game conference regular season unbeaten streak with a 4-0 triumph that included two strikes from Caleib Lynch (Merritt Island, Fla./Merritt Island HS/Florida Institute of Technology), which helped the Blue and Green take over first place in the A-Sun standings. The all-time series record with Campbell sits level at 1-1-1.
Predicted fifth in the A-Sun preseason poll, Mercer has compiled a 6-3-1 (1-2 A-Sun) record despite a very challenging schedule to date. Mercer defeated then-No. 29 ranked UAB on the road on October 6, marking the first time the Bears had ever defeated a ranked team in their 40-year history. It also marked the first time that UAB, who boasts the number one ranked scoring offense in the country, was shutout this season. Senior midfielder Ian Cameron recently broke into the Mercer career top-10 in goals, assists and points, and currently leads the team with five goals and two assists on the year. Keeper Brett Petricek (5-2) has spent the majority of the time in net, recording 27 saves and nine goals against.
The Blue and Green netted two goals in a 10 minute span of the second half en route to a thrilling 2-1 win over Mercer in last season's matchup, receiving goals from Scott Harrison (Cocoa, Fla./Merritt Island HS) and Jonathan Koshko (New Port Richey, Fla./Mitchell HS). The Eagles own a 2-1 edge in the all-time series with Mercer.

Start up a crack which gets thin (crux for me) to an overhang. Move left past the overhang to a nice ledge. Climb up an easy slab to the upper overhang (crux for my friends). Walk up a slab to a tree to belay. I enjoyed this climb.
Scramble up the boulders to the east end of the Perch (past Left Handed Jew). Locate a semi circular crack (this route is Circle Jerk). Mod 2 starts up the left side of Circle Jerk. To descend walk up, walk right then scramble down boulders to your start.

A brand-new email plea from the campaign to re-elect Barack Obama has taken a dark turn in its criticism of Congressman Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney's vice-presidential pick, using what many might consider foul language.
"You might be wondering why the hell Romney picked this guy," writes Jim Messina, campaign manager of Obama for America. "But this is a strategic pick that carries real danger for us."
The email begins, "Congressman Paul Ryan is the poster boy for the extreme Republican leadership in a Congress whose overall approval rating is 12 percent. His plan to dismantle Medicare is deeply unpopular with the general public, and especially undecided voters."
That's when the H-word gets invoked.

CHILLICOTHE, Ill. -- As music lovers enter Three Sisters Park, they'll experience the sounds of summer in Chillicothe.
Dozens of bands are headlining Summer Camp, a music festival that's expected to bring in nearly 18,000 guests and all that usually comes with the weekend-long event.
"You're always going to have some bad eggs that want to come and supply drugs to people," said Chillicothe Police Chief Scott Mettille. "We just do our best to try to narrow that down."
Both Chillicothe Police Dept. and Peoria County Sheriff's Office are on patrol.
Chief Scott Mettille says they have made some drug arrests so far.
Despite some reported drug use, Summer Camp officials says that's not the main threat. With this hot and dry weather, it's dehydration.
By Saturday afternoon, almost 200 people made a trip to the OSF St. Francis Medical Center emergency tent, the majority of cases involving dehydration.
"What we're seeing is light headedness, just people who aren't in the right state of mind, and a lot of it has to do with hydration issues," said Troy Erbentraut, Manager of OSF Disaster Preparedness. "All they need to do is drink, drink, drink."
Drink water, that is.
"They think by drinking beer or some kind of liquor or something like that, anything with sugar to stay hydrated," said Erbentraut," it'll actually dehydrate them."
Mike Armintrout, Summer Camp organizer and Director of Operations for Jay Goldberg Events and Entertainment, says watching out for others is a main priority.
"If people aren't able to safely have a good time, then we're not doing our job to make the festival safe for everybody," said Armintrout. "And if they don't feel safe, if they're not able to have a good time safely, then they're not going to want to come back the next year."
Armintrout says no deaths have occurred during the festival's 11 year history and doesn't expect any serious incident on this 12th year, as long as people continue to soak in the sounds of summer, safely.
Summer Camp ends Sunday, May 27. For more information, head to the link above.

ROME, 11 June 2002 - UNICEF said today that global success in lowering child malnutrition could only be achieved through comprehensive action on numerous fronts - including many not directly related to food.
Speaking today at the World Food Summit: Five Years Later, UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Kul C. Gautam said that child malnutrition must be fought through measures that include enhancing household food security, improving basic health care, and ensuring safe water and decent sanitation for hundreds of millions of people who are still without these basic services.
"The world produces enough food to feed every man, woman and child on earth. Hunger and malnutrition are therefore not due to lack of food alone, but are also the consequences of poverty, inequality and misplaced priorities," Gautam said. He said efforts to reduce global malnutrition must start with children, on whom poor nutrition has the most damaging and lasting effects.
Gautam stressed that child malnutrition is best addressed by taking a holistic, life-cycle approach, ensuring that all children are born healthy and are properly cared for in their earliest years, and that primary health care and basic education are provided in all communities.
UNICEF said that significant gains could be made in human potential by tapping the power of simple micronutrients such as iodine, vitamin A and iron. These key micronutrients are necessary for cognitive development, better school performance, and work productivity.
While the past decade has seen progress toward universal salt iodization to reduce iodine deficiency and the distribution of supplements to reduce vitamin A deficiency in young children, reducing the dangerous effects of iron deficiency anaemia in women and children has lagged far behind. Iron deficiency anaemia is the single most prevalent cause of micronutrient malnutrition in the world, affecting more than two billion people.
UNICEF also promotes integrated support to breastfeeding, investing in girls, women and young people to strengthen their roles as providers of nutrition security, and stepping up efforts to address the critical nutritional needs of communities devastated by HIV/AIDS, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, which faces the triple burden of chronic food insecurity, a weakened labour force, and the increased nutritional needs created by the pandemic.

Danville, VA - Halloween is the deadliest day for child pedestrian accidents according to State Farm, so they have released some tips to help keep you and your kids safe.
Parents always go with your kids door to door. This study finds the deadliest hour is between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.
If you have to walk in the street, stick to the far left, facing traffic. Police also suggest your kids have reflective tape on their costumes to make them more visible. If you are driving, go slow and put away any distractions.
Danville Police say another thing to be cautious of on Halloween is the candy your kids get from strangers.

How was this year's Berlin International Film Festival, the Berlinale? Well, it was cold, wet, and windy! But despite the weather it was a fantastic year â€"  lots of warm films and more than 300,000 audience members, all in the middle of the vibrant and exciting city of Berlin. There was glitz and glamour on the red carpet (though it's always a little toned down at the Berlinale because of the chilly temperatures). Hugh Grant, Greta Gerwig, Tim Robbins, Emma Stone, Nicolas Cage and Paul Rudd were all spotted, as was the timeless Jane Fonda, who is still a knock-out beauty.
I love Asian cinema, and was thrilled to see the world premiere of the new Wong Kar Wai film THE GRANDMASTER. We've welcomed his films at the Chicago International Film Festival in the past, and over dinner with him in Berlin he shared with me that years ago he wanted to shoot a film in Chicago, but couldn't handle the weather or the expenses! Hopefully we welcome his talents here soon.
Many of the films at the festival this year honored older women in strong performances and winning films hailed from Spain, Romania and Poland. Themes of food (Germans love a good meal), politics (there was even a demonstration in support of Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi), and LGBT issues permeated the films I saw. I was delighted to attend a screening of PRINCE AVALANCHE by David Gordon Green. One of the standout U.S. films, it was loved by the audience and picked up a few awards (we honored Green at our CineYouth Festival years ago, so it's great to see his continued rise to success!).
I averaged about four feature films a day, as did our Director of Programming, Mimi Plauche. We both marveled at how perfectly executed the Berlinale is. With a thriving film market, films from every country you've ever heard of (and some you haven't), the audience this year was captivated. We'll pick up many of the top Berlinale films for the Chicago International Film Festival in October and we'll keep scouting out the best in the next few months with trips to the Guadelajara International Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival and more.

Courses in Religious Studies address many dimensions and functions of religion within the world's cultures. Among these are scriptures, ritual practices, beliefs, symbols, and ethics. Our courses also use multiple approaches (e.g., anthropology, cultural studies, history, sociology, hermeneutics, and critical theories of interpretation) to examine the dynamic relationships between religion and other social, economic, and political structures. Our courses foster a critical understanding of religious traditions, issues, questions, and values while cultivating awareness of religion's multifaceted influence on societies and promoting appreciation for the diversity of practices and beliefs in modern and premodern societies.

Spring 2014 Descriptions
Religion and Popular Culture
When and how do mundane practices of popular culture (e.g. sports, film, social media, video games, music, television, etc.) become religious or religious-like behaviors? How are 'traditional religions' engaging popular culture, and how does that alter 'religion'? This course critically examines these and other intersections between religion and popular culture.
UCC Tier 2: W + R (no prerequisites)
RELS 201: Religion and Popular Culture - Dr. Brackett
Religion, Morality, and Public Debate
Is religion necessarily linked to morality, if so in what ways, and how are both related to law? This course will examine these questions with attention to the theme of "life"—beginnings, endings, and views on the good life. We will examine select topics (abortion, care for the sick and dying, care for strangers and for the environment), seeking to understand the role of religious traditions in framing the issues and arguments at the heart of public debates in America. Sources will be drawn primarily from Judaism, Christianity, and contemporary social thought.
UCC Tier-2: W + R (no prerequisites)
RELS 210: Religion, Morality, and Public Debate - Dr. Agnew
Introduction to Biblical Interpretation
This course is an introduction to biblical studies and biblical interpretation as an academic discipline. We will examine selected portions of the Bible—the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible and the New Testament– in order to analyze different types of writings/genres using various interpretative methods/approaches, such as historical, literary, rhetorical, and feminist criticism. We will consider the historical and social setting of the biblical texts in relation to the ancient Near East and the Greco–Roman Empire. Along the way, we will look at how the Bible has been interpreted in the modern era and how it has been used/appropriated in relation to social and political issues such as slavery and gender. No previous knowledge of the Bible is required or presumed.
UCC Tier-2, I + R (no prerequisites)
RELS 250: Introduction to Biblical Interpretation - Dr. Segroves
Topics in Asian Religions: Introducing "Hinduism"
Many people assume that "belief" helps make sense of a religious tradition, but belief has serious limitations when studying religion. Asking what Hindus do, for example, is far more relevant for engaging in a study of Hindu traditions. In this course, we study "the life of Hinduism" in a variety of social, political, historical, artistic, personal, and cultural contexts.
UCC Tier-2, I + R (no prerequisites)
RELS 290: Topics in Asian Religions: Introducing "Hinduism" - Dr. Brackett
Religion and Ethics: Religion, Nonviolence and War
Religious traditions aspire to peace but within each there are diverse interpretations of how to attain this. What resources do traditions offer for addressing conflict nonviolently, and under what conditions is violence seen as justified? This course examines these questions in relationship to national and international conflicts in the 20th and 21st centuries. The course focuses on Western religious traditions of nonviolence and "just war," but will also consider the influence in the West of modern Asian exemplars of nonviolence, including Mohandas Gandhi.

Religion, Diversity, and American Life
Over 200 years ago, Thomas Jefferson wrote about a "wall of separation" between Church and State, but religious traditions and principles continue to play an important role in Americans' reflections on pressing social and political issues. This course explores three such issues: the relationship between diversity and democracy, competing arguments in support of war and nonviolence, and the gap between wealth and poverty. The course explores a range of perspectives on these issues from within and across religious (and secular) traditions in America.

Ethnography of Religion
What can you learn about religion in Muncie by studying longhaired, naked, dope-smoking, ash-smeared, Hindu renouncers? Or, what about a female Muslim healer? A better question: what can't you learn about religion in Muncie through looking at radically different religious worlds? These are but two lenses through which to ask, "What is religion, anyway?" "How do these 'strange worlds' help us make sense of religious practices in Muncie?" In this class you get to examine religious diversity in Muncie through fieldwork, add new materials to the course website, and learn more about yourself than you ever imagined. And, you do not need any background in Religious Studies to take this course!

The Hill School is an elite, highly selective preparatory boarding school for boys and girls located in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, about 35 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
The Hill is part of an organization known as the Ten Schools Admissions Organization. This organization was founded more than forty years ago on the basis of a number of common goals and traditions. Member schools include The Hill School, Choate Rosemary Hall, Deerfield Academy, The Lawrenceville School, The Taft School, The Hotchkiss School, St. Paul's School, Loomis Chaffee, Phillips Exeter Academy, and Phillips Academy Andover.
In 2011, The Hill's endowment was approximately $120.3 million.[2]
The Hill School was founded in 1851 by the Rev. Matthew Meigs as the Family Boarding School for Boys and Young Men. The School opened on May 1, 1851, enrolling 25 boys for the first year. The Family Boarding School was the first of its kind in America. According to John Chancellor's The History of The Hill, "He [Meigs] wanted to stress that he was not founding still another academy, but a type of school quite new and rare in America. There is a tendency to think that the boys' boarding school as we know it existed as long as there have been private schools. It has not. Most of the 12 to 15 schools generally considered the "core" group were established in the last half of the nineteenth century…Of this whole group of schools, The Hill was the first to be founded as a family boarding school."[3]
Five Tenets[edit]
- Community
- Academic Excellence
- Meaningful, Balanced Structure
- Principles
- History and Tradition
The Hill School offers classes in many areas, including many AP courses.
The academic year is divided into trimesters lasting 10 weeks each. Classes are held six days a week, including Saturday morning. Student-teacher ratio is 7-1 and typical class size is 13-15 students.
All Hill students (day and boarding) are required to own an iPad. Boarding students are required to participate in a nightly study hall from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.
The Hill competes in the Mid-Atlantic Prep League. The Hill's athletic teams are known as the Blues, and a ram serves as a mascot. The Hill's arch-rival is The Lawrenceville School of Lawrenceville, New Jersey. The rivalry is celebrated annually on the first or second weekend of November. The festivities alternate between the two schools each year, and it is the 5th oldest school rivalry, and the 3rd oldest high-school rivalry, in the nation, dating back to 1887.[4] In 2006 the Hill-Lawrenceville rivalry entered into a new era as a combined Hillville soccer team traveled to England and Scotland to compete against Charterhouse School and Eton College defeating both schools on their home pitch.
Besides Hill and Lawrenceville, other schools in the league are Hun School of Princeton in Princeton, New Jersey, Mercersburg Academy of Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, Peddie School in Hightstown, New Jersey, and Blair Academy in Blairstown, New Jersey.
Some of the schools that The Hill also competes against include St. Andrew's School in Middletown, Delaware, Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Virginia, The Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut, Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Connecticut, Deerfield Academy in Deerfield, Massachusetts, Governor Dummer Academy in Byfield, Mass; Westminster School in Simsbury, Connecticut, and Wyoming Seminary College Prep, in Kingston, Pa.
All students are required to participate at some level of athletics, whether it be at the varsity or intramural level. Interscholastic sports include cross country, football, field hockey, soccer, tennis, squash, water polo, swimming, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling, baseball, softball, lacrosse, track, and golf.
Some team highlights include the 2010 girls water polo Eastern Champions and the 2009 football MAPL champions. Also, Varsity girls field hockey has won repeated MAPL titles. The Girl soccer team has won repeated MAPL and PAISSA titles, as well.
Due to alumnus Harry Elkins Widener's drowning on the RMS Titanic, all students must pass a swim test in order to graduate.

An observant passer-by is credited with helping sheriff's officials arrest a man on 10 counts of sexual exploitation of a child.
Brian Fortner, 27, was booked into jail Thursday morning.
Fortner had been under investigation by Maricopa County sheriff's deputies since July 28. A resident observed Fortner discarding what appeared to be a perfectly good duffle bag into a northwest Valley Dumpster, deputies said.
The passer-by retrieved the bag, looked inside and found several printed sexually-exploitive images of children, along with a wallet containing Fortner's driver's license, sheriff's investigators said.
Shortly after retrieving the bag, the resident told deputies that a man resembling the one on the license drove his pickup truck to the same Dumpster, rummaged through it and then drove away. The passer-by called the sheriff's office and gave dispatchers the license plate number. The vehicle plate registration was traced to Fortner.
"Fortner made a strange string of errors which appears to tie him to the evidence," Sheriff Joe Arpaio said.
The passer-by gave the duffle bag to sheriff's detectives who found numerous images of child pornography, according to MCSO.
After determining the subjects in the images were less than 13 years old, a search warrant was obtained and executed on Fortner's home. A computer and other items were seized.
Sheriff's detectives said Fortner admitted to visiting child porn websites and printing the images.

A comfortable right out-of-the box, tall all leather boot with plush leather lining. They don't make them like these anymore.
- Supportive
- All leather
- Comfortable
- Rand detaching
- Only 9 inches tall
Bought these as my new all leather, work/hike go everywhere boot. Use it both for winter, summer and everything in between. Breathes great like a good leather boot should.
Was hoping to get another 5 years out of them like my last all leather boots but the rand started detaching after a few months and the leather cracked open around the toe area after 6 months. Used Obenauf's on them every few weeks but didn't stop the leather from cracking. Think this had more to do with how long the boots were on the shelf and they were all dried by the time I got them.
It is getting very hard to find tall leather boots without a "water-proof" lining these days and the Mega Camp fits the bill. All in all I would get another pair. Just check how long they've been sitting on the shelf for.

AGA release book on its historyby Mark Gough
Aga cookers have brought out a new book on its history and it is a tale of World War two spies, the TV show Mad Men and Air Force one.
The boss of Aga in the 1930s, Walter Wren, was recruited to a British secret intelligence unit tasked with trying to sway public opinion in America in support of joining the Second World War.
His top ad man, David Ogilvy, was also recruited to the same espionage unit and spent his spying career in the States.
He remained and ran the ad agency, Ogilvy and Mather with his brother Francis.
David Ogilvy became known as the King of Madison Avenue and he was the inspiration for the recent hit TV show, Mad Men.
Other ex Aga designers went on to design the Shell logo, the London red bus and the livery of Air Force One.

Housing & Residential Living
Quiet Hours
The most troublesome issue within a college residential community is unwanted distraction and noise while other students are studying, sleeping, or simply expecting quiet time. A student's right to study or sleep in an environment free from undue interference and disruption is a priority at Carleton. As a result, quiet hours have been established for all student residential areas. By the end of the second week of classes, each residence hall will determine the quiet hours for the building and agree upon expectations of each individual resident. Until that time, the following quiet hours are in effect: 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. Sunday through Thursday evenings and from 1 a.m. to 7 a.m. Friday and Saturday evenings. Individual living units may extend these hours; however, they may not reduce them since residents find these hours to be effective for the purposes of study and sleep. Twenty-four hour quiet hours are in effect beginning at 11 p.m. on the last day of classes each term through the end of exams.

There are some good points and bad points about this cruise.
We have cruised a lot and this ship is quite a bit different but from my research I knew what to expect. Overall it exceeded my expectations (which were low). The cabin is adequate with a heated bathroom floor.Eating is a bit different both due to the type of food and service. Much of the food is not labelled )salads etc) so you have to guess. Breakfast and Lunch are buffets which is good but dinner is a fixed menu, for example tonite we are having reindeer stew which I am not crazy about.
The wifi does not work but they do have 4 desktops which work.
There is a small coffee bar where you can buy food if you want extra...that is mainly for peopkle who are just using this ship to go from port to port. The dining room is quite nice.
If this does get posted, I will return with more info.

RIP 6.6 Rescue System Has New Drivers and a Forum
The Recovery Is Possible (RIP) Linux rescue system is available in its newest version 6.6. A related web forum enables discussion among developers and users.
The new RIP release incorporates a version of the GParted partition editor released only days ago. The Gnome application should speed up copying and moving partitions. Moreover, it also supports the Mac HFS+ file system.
RIP 6.6 includes the WLAN driver Ath9k for draft 802.11n chipsets from Atheros, as well as drivers for the ACX100 and ACX111 wireless chips from Texas Instruments.
Meanwhile, RIP developer Kent Robotti started a RIP Linux forum that includes tips on how to extend the distribution to further applications.
RIP is a Linux Live distribution based on Slackware, primarily used for data maintenance and recovery. It provides support for a variety of hardware and file systems, including the ext family, ReiserFS and Reiser4, UDF, HFS, HPFS and NTFS. It is bootable from CD or USB external drive. ISO images are available for download from the project homepage, including the mkusb.sh script for USB flash drive partition installations and a variant for PXE networks. Linux requires a minimum 256 MByte RAM and a Pentium CPU. The kernel is available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

FORT MILL — It took dedication, time, equipment and stamina for Cadet Sean Moughan and his Fort Mill Marine JROTC air rifle shooting team to place sixth in the nation at the service's National Air Rifle Championship match late last month in Anniston, Ala.
It also took a whole lot of "practice, practice, practice," Moughan said in Fort Mill's JROTC office Thursday evening.
Cadet Brian Hampton took home the individual first place honors and is ranked No. 1 in the nation for Marine Corps JROTC shooters. Moughan earned fifth place in Alabama, good for a ranking of seventh best in the country.
"I went into the last match with no expectations," said Moughan, a senior. "I think that really helped with nerves because I was calm, because I said, 'If I shoot well, I shoot well.'"
Using a Crosman CH2009 PCP air rifle to aim for bull's-eye targets the size of a pencil tip, Hampton earned the top award of the weekend (Feb. 21-23) over competition from more than 300 teams and 1,200 competitors.
The sophomore said he learned of his scores while sitting on the couch, watching the live scoring that Saturday.
"I knew some people were close to my score, but when the last shot was fired and the score went below mine, I realized I was first in the nation," Hampton said. "I just sort of sat there, like 'Wow.'"
Lt. Col. Rod Robinson said his team gets a competitive edge by going to events around the country. The Yellow Jackets will take on the best of all JROTC service shooters in an inter-service national championship in Camp Perry, Ohio, from March 21-23, followed by an invitational closer to home to round out the academic season.
"You take them away from here and it's a shoulder-to-shoulder match, the competitive juices come up," Robinson said. "It's a real sport and they're all athletes."
Three other Fort Mill shooters placed among the top in the nation, including Cadet James Johns (No. 59), Cadet Anneke Van Eldik (No. 61) and Cadet Jordan Lozinski (No. 62). Johns, a sophomore who transferred from Nation Ford, said the rivalry between the Fort Mill high schools remains competitive.
"We've both got our ups and downs and compete every day," Johns said. "Everyone on the team wants to do their best."
The top seven teams and top 30 individuals from each JROTC branch, (Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force) will shoot in Ohio later this month – both Moughan and Hampton are locks for both individual and team play. As Moughan gets closer to graduation in May, he said he wants to help the younger members of his team get better. After a four-year career shooting for Fort Mill, Moughan recently earned a full-ride scholarship to Virginia Tech.
"I never thought I would turn out to have talent. It's been a blessing," Moughan said. "We have a lot of new shooters coming in now and I want to spend a lot of time getting them set for what's ahead."

Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla is today remembered as the Father of his Country, the great hero of Mexico's War for Independence. His position has become cemented in lore, and there are any number of hagiographic biographies out there with him as their subject.
The truth about Hidalgo is a little more complex. The facts and dates leave no doubt: his was the first serious insurrection on Mexican soil against Spanish authority, and he managed to get quite far with his poorly armed mob. He was a charismatic leader and made a good team with the military man Allende despite their mutual hatred.
But Hidalgo's shortcomings make one ask "What if?" After decades of abuse of Creoles and poor Mexicans, there was a vast well of resentment and hatred that Hidalgo was able to tap into: even he seemed surprised by the level of anger released on the Spaniards by his mob. He provided the catalyst for Mexico's poor to vent their anger on the hated "gachipines" or Spaniards, but his "army" was more like a swarm of locusts, and about as impossible to control.
His questionable leadership also contributed to his downfall. Historians can only wonder what might have happened had Hidalgo pushed into Mexico City in November of 1810: history certainly would be different. In this, Hidalgo was too proud or stubborn to listen to the sound military advice offered by Allende and others and press his advantage.
Finally, Hidalgo's approval of the violent sacking and looting by his forces alienated the group most vital to any independence movement: middle-class and wealthy creoles like himself. Poor peasants and Indians only had the power to burn, pillage and destroy: they could not create a new identity for Mexico, one that would allow Mexicans to psychologically break from Spain and craft a national conscience for themselves.
Still, Hidalgo became a great leader...after his death. His timely martyrdom allowed others to pick up the fallen banner of freedom and independence. His influence on later fighters such as José María Morelos, Guadalupe Victoria and others is considerable. Today, Hidalgo's remains lie in a Mexico City monument known as "the Angel of Independence" along with other Revolutionary heroes.
