SWINDON ROBINS: D-Day for Rosco over GB job
Updated 8:31pm Monday 13th January 2014 in Sport By Andy Warren, Deputy sports editor, firstname.lastname@example.com, @AndyWarren_
ALUN Rossiter could find out as early as tomorrow if he has been handed the Great Britain team manager's job.
The Swindon Robins boss appears to be in a straight fight for the role with former Birmingham team manager Phil Morris, who is already heavily involved in the country's youth system, with a decision expected to come from tomorrow's BSPA management committee meeting.
Gary Havelock and former national boss Rob Lyon also threw their hats into the ring to replace the outgoing Neil Middleditch, but both of their applications appear to have fallen by the wayside.
The decision on who will succeed Middleditch is one of a number of issues to be discussed tomorrow by the committee, made up of Alex Harkess, Jon Cook, Chris Van Straaten, David Hoggart and George English.
Morris is working closely with Coventry captain Chris Harris as he returns to the Grand Prix series in 2014, a conflict of interest which is thought to concern the committee, while Rossiter's decision to not include Ashley Birks in Swindon's team for 2014 having verbally offered him a place could count against him.
The committee is also likely to discuss the ongoing situation regarding Australian Nick Morris, who has signalled his desire to move away from the Robins in order to ride in both the Elite and Premier Leagues next season. A decision could be made regarding whether or not any club should be forced to buy Morris if he does to move on, with the committee believed to be on the side of the Robins regarding the matter.
The Blunsdon club issued a statement regarding an approach by Sheffield last week, with Elite League side Leicester also thought to be interested, while the Advertiser understands both clubs' interest in the Australian is diminishing.

|The "Tree of Life" that nourished Little Owl for nine months
Animals, including most primates, do it. Women in Hollywood do it. Traditional Chinese medicine does it.
Hopefully none of those arguments convince you.
Especially not the second one.
What is it?
Prior to becoming the "afterbirth" the placenta (often referred to as the "tree of life") has already done a lot of work. Growing, nourishing and sustaining a being for nine months is no small task (just ask any women who has a baby). As a working organ the placenta contains (among many other good things) high levels of prostaglandin and oxytocin. Prostaglandin helps clean out the uterus post birth, shrinking it back to its normal size. Oxytocin, "the love hormone" does everything from easing stress, to promoting bonding, to stimulating milk letdown in mammals (the same hormone is released when you make a baby, have a baby, and take care of a baby--kind of neat, huh?).
However, just because the placenta contains these hormones and just because these hormones do these things does not mean that eating your placenta does these things. Get it? Correlation does not necessarily equal causation.
Should you do it?

As the front approaches for the late evening, storms will begin to weaken. The storms will transition to widespread rain. The rain will be ongoing to start Tuesday. The rain will remain steady throughout the day Tuesday with many locations receiving 1"-2" of rain. More rain will redevelop, especially in souther Kentucky Tuesday night. By the midweek rainfall totals will be between 1.5"-3" area wide. Behind a secondary cold front on Wednesday temperatures will be even cooler to end the work week on Thursday and Friday, as the sun returns.
Tonight: Storm storms in Indiana will continue to sink toward the Bluegrass for the late evening. As storms arrive, they should be weakening. The main story for the overnight will be widespread heavy to moderate intensity rainfall. Most overnight rain will be in the Bluegrass with it sinking into southern Kentucky by morning. Winds: W 10-18 mph. Low: 54.
Tuesday: A soaking, cooler rain will fall across the area. While a leftover thunderstorm may be embedded within the rain in southern Kentucky, the severe weather potential will be quite a bit lower. Temperatures will basically remain steady throughout the day with weaker southeast winds. Winds: SE 5-10 mph. High: 56.

Country Spotlight: Sherrié Austin
January 20, 2012 at 3:48 pm , by Ron Kelly
Some have pegged Sherrié Austin as the Taylor Swift of the Sex and the City generation. While it was Swift who titled her 2008 album Fearless, it's Austin who's had a longer track record of making big, brave moves to get to where she wanted to be. From moving as a teen from her native Australia to L.A. (when she won a role on the sitcom The Facts of Life), to leaving L.A. behind to chase down her dream of making country music in Nashville and even later tackling a few roles on Broadway, Austin's made a habit of staring down challenges and coming out on top.
If you think about it, Austin's new CD Circus Girl could also have easily been titled Fearless: She funded the CD, coproduced it and is promoting it, all without the support of a major label. She also took full creative control, penning three of its songs and cowriting all of the others. The task would be a tightrope walk for any country act but it was even more so for Austin, considering that this marks the first time she's thrown her own hat into the Nashville ring in eight years. Though the singer enjoyed a string of country hits that started in the late 90s ("Lucky In Love," "Put Your Heart Into It", "Never Been Kissed," "Streets of Heaven"), she's remained mostly behind the scenes the past few years writing songs for others, including some pretty big hitters (think Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, George Strait and Trace Adkins).
When Austin visited us here at LHJ recently, she was honest about how daunting her Circus Girl endeavor was, even though she came out the other side stronger than ever. "There were times when I just woke up and said, 'Why am I doing this? I'm taking such a big risk here with my time, with my money,' " she admits. "But every day this voice just kept saying to me, 'Keep going. Take another step, take another step.' I just listened to it. And I have no regrets."
Why would she? From its first track to its last, Circus Girl soars, bursting with a real sense of Austin's effervescent personality and pluck. There are tracks that will make you laugh out loud ("I Didn't," "If I Was a Man"), tracks that will make you cry ("Get Your Leavin' Done," "Tryin' to Be Me") and even tracks that will make you want to … ahem … get a little frisky ("I Just Want to Love You Tonight"). Lyrically, Austin absolutely nails it when she captures the internal thoughts that run through everywoman's head. In her single-lady lament "Friday Night Girls," for example, she sings, "Trying to look twenty-one / is getting old and it ain't no fun / That mirror don't lie / like it used to." And in "If I Was a Man," she vows to burn her push-up bra, singing, "Wouldn't mind me a girl / with some meat on her bones / I'd love me just as I am / If I was a man."
For the time being in her life as a lady, though, Austin's main man is singer-songwriter Shane Stevens (a cowriter on Lady Antebellum's "American Honey"), with whom she stars on the Sundance Channel's Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys. The show, just nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for outstanding reality program, follows the relationships of four straight women and their gay best friends down in the heart of Music City. While being a part of GWLBWLB has helped reintroduce Austin to her fans, it's also reminded her that performing is something she loves to do. And that's certainly music to all of our ears.
For a video of Austin's live and acoustic performance in our LHJ Ladies' Lounge, read on after the jump. You'll also get the scoop on this once again rising Nashville star and find out what her hesitations were about doing GWLBWLB, the unique way she wound up writing her favorite song, what country (and pop) stars she'd love to hear sing her tunes, and lots more.

Country Spotlight: The Secret Sisters
August 1, 2011 at 12:25 pm , by Ron Kelly
Here at LHJ, we love any excuse to dive into our archive closet and scour through the pages of some of our classic issues. When the Secret Sisters (Laura and Lydia Rogers) dropped by our offices last month for an inhouse performance, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to match up their awesomely retro look with some of our treasured covers from the past.
Of course, in addition to looking great, the Sisters sound heavenly. Hailing from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Laura and Lydia grew up singing acappella in their local church, which is where they developed the exquisite harmonies and vocal style (think Patsy Cline, the Everly Brothers, the Andrews Sisters) that eventually caught the ear of famed producer T Bone Burnett. Burnett produced their debut album, which was released last fall, and the Sisters' unique sound has been wowing both critics and listeners alike ever since. They've already toured with Willie Nelson, Ray LaMontagne and Amos Lee, and they've also performed with Jack White, Elvis Costello, Dave Stewart and Jakob Dylan, among others.
In two months the Sisters will face off against the Civil Wars, Mumford & Sons and Jessica Lea Mayfield in the New/Emerging Artist of the Year category at the 2011 Americana Music Awards down in Nashville, Tennessee. Find out what the ladies plan to do if they win that award by reading on after the jump. You'll find their handwritten answers to that question, along with their guilty musical pleasures, what makes them laugh, their secret to getting along and other fun facts. Also be sure to take a look and a listen to their LHJ performance, below, and let us know if you love them as much as we do!

Bringing Cancer Awareness to Kids - ideas for arts & crafts?
I'm an art teacher, and I'm passionate about doing charity work, as well as bringing awareness to my students, such as breast cancer awareness. I was thinking about doing a lesson plan in honor of breast cancer and heart disease (both will be on separate days). However, I wasn't sure if this idea would be receptive to the administration and the kids' parents. Any thoughts/ ideas/ suggestions/ recommendations would be most appreciated. I should also mention that the age groups range from ages 5-12.Thanks
Posted 3 years ago in Other by TestHacker
It would seem to be that a 5-12 year old isn't going to be able to relate to a person who has breast cancer. Why don't you talk about a cancer that affects kids their age...like neuroblastoma. It's a tough topic, and it should probably have to be handled differently from a 5 year old vs. a 12 year old. You probably know that though. I think it's a good idea, hopefully the parents/admin will too. But maybe you should put a positive spin on it, like how can someone their age help. They could get active in a fundraiser like Cookies for Cancer or Alex's Lemonade Stand, or participate in a walk-a-thon, or something like that. Maybe they could as a group make some kind of art project to donate to a fundraising event that has an auction. I was recently at a fundraiser where the children in a school hand-painted a bench and donated it to a fundraiser as a silent auction item in honor of their classmate who has cancer (a 3rd grader). The bench raised over $1,000.Here's a link to a parent's group that maybe you could get some ideas. Good luck :)http://www.bandofparents.org/
What is Breast CancerBreast cancer is a disease in which cancer cells grow in the breast tissue.
Cancer occurs when cells in the body divide without control or order. If cells keep dividing uncontrollably, a mass of tissue forms. This is called a growth or tumor. The term cancer refers to malignant tumors. They can invade nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body.
Although most people think of breast cancer as affecting women, men can develop breast cancer as well. Breast cancer in men can be more aggressive.

Zimbabwe imports 150k tons of corn; hunger looms
HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) _ Zimbabwe's agriculture ministry says it is importing 150,000 tons of corn, the nation's staple food, from neighboring South Africa to avert a looming food crisis as millions face starvation.
Deputy Agriculture Minister Davis Marapira said Friday the government had so far received 300 tons which will be distributed to hard-hit parts of the country, state media reported.
The United Nations estimates at least 2.2 million Zimbabweans will need food assistance before the next harvest in April.
Zimbabwe only managed to produce 800,000 tons of corn last year. Annual consumption is 2.2 million tons.
Before the chaotic and often violent seizures of thousands of white-owned farms in 2000, Zimbabwe was a self-sufficient regional bread basket and a major exporter of corn.

Dr. Don,
I bought a home recently and as a result my cash
flow has become tight. I have a toddler and another child on the
way so taking the time to monitor my bank accounts on a regular
basis has also become kind of tight.
I have overdraft protection from a credit card for
my checking account, and it has kicked in a lot more than I would
have liked recently. I would prefer an account with no protection,
but the fine for a bounced check or transaction is higher than the
finance charge for an overdraft ($25/transaction versus $15/day).
What would be ideal is an account that simply rejects
transactions that would bounce without charging a gargantuan fee/fine.
Since these transactions are processed by computers and there is
no handling effort, I think the banks don't have a good justification
for charging these overdraft fees/fines.
So my questions are: What justifications do banks
bring forward to charge overdraft fees/fines? Do you know a bank
that offers the type of account that I'm looking for?
-- Henrik Heartburn
It's not the bank's fault. A checking account is also known as a
"demand deposit account." That means that the financial
institution is obligated to pay claims against the account on demand,
providing that there are funds in that account to cover the claim.
When you write checks or make payments on the account
and there are insufficient funds to cover the transactions, the
bank does reject the transaction -- just like you would have it
do in your ideal account. It's not the bank's responsibility to
have sufficient funds on deposit, it's yours.
Wishing for a world where there are no bounced-check
charges or overdraft fees isn't practical. What is practical is
to stop overdrafts in your checking account. Then you avoid all
those fees. If you've got your overdraft protection kicking in more
than you'd like, you're misusing the protection feature as a form
of short-term loan.
Not having the time to monitor your spending doesn't
cut it as an excuse. Between electronic bill payments, money management
software or just a good old-fashioned household budget, it's your
responsibility to have sufficient money in your checking account
to cover the payments drawn against that account.
There are other options for overdraft protection besides
tying the checking account to a credit card. They include linking
a savings account to the checking account or setting up an overdraft
line of credit with the bank.
The Federal Reserve Board publication, "Protecting
Yourself from Overdraft and Bounced-Check Fees" provides
a nice overview of the importance of avoiding these fees by keeping
enough liquidity in your checking account.
To ask a question of Dr. Don, go to the "Ask
the Experts" page, and select one of these topics: "financing
a home," "saving & investing" or "money."

Walking tour provides a look at La Jolla history
For many residents, the landmarks of La Jolla are just a part of the background of their daily lives.
But for Martie Rice and the other docents of the La Jolla Historical Society, the story behind these iconic buildings is worth retelling. The Society has recently created a walking tour of the Village, designed to highlight both its most famous sights and some lesser-known historical locations.
"The feedback so far has been really positive," said Rice, one of three docents who lead the tours. "There are just all these things that people have no idea about."
The tours, which take place every other Saturday morning, tell the story of a very different La Jolla than the one we know today. Docents highlight 17 locations throughout the village — from the Cave Shop (La Jolla's oldest business) to classic cottages — which date back to a time when much of the area was simply undeveloped farmland.
"It's interesting to learn about these buildings that we pass by all the time and don't even give a second glance," said Estelle Ebert, a participant in last Saturday's tour.
For Rice, however, there is more to these tours this simple architectural history.
"There's a lot (in the tour) about the amazing contribution that Ellen Scripps made, and what a different place it would have been without her," she said.
The Scripps family, who funded much of La Jolla's early development, is brought to life through a series of photos and humorous anecdotes sprinkled throughout the tour.
By capping the tour at 15 participants and not using any amplification, the guides create a informal atmosphere that prompts questions and discussions. For the same reason however, reservations are required for the popular tours. Information about reservations and the Society in general can be found at lajollahistory.org.

not metal...but i don't really listen to metal lyrics...
"The words you say never live up to the ones inside your head
The lives we make never seem to ever get us anywhere but dead"
-Chris Cornell, Soundgarden: "The Day I tried to Live"
if I had to go with metal I'd probably go with some political Dying Fetus lyric or
"RE-SPECT. WALK! ARE YOU TALKIN' TO ME? No way punk!"
then again:
"Dead, he's dead, the motherfucker's' dead don't ever want to see his fucking face again"

If you experience difficulties staying or falling asleep or in obtaining sleep of restorative quality -- common symptoms of insomnia -- you may be interested in learning more about sleeping pills. There are over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medications available, and a little research with an overview may help you to find the best option.
Over-the-Counter Sleeping Pills
There are a few sleeping pills that are available as OTC medications without the need of a prescription. These options include:
This naturally occurring hormone may be helpful in treating sleep problems such as jet lag, insomnia and circadian-rhythm disorders.
This agent is found in many non-prescription sleeping pills such as Simply Sleep, Unisom, Tylenol PM, Advil PM and Benadryl. It may be helpful in acute insomnia to initiate and maintain sleep, but its long-term use is discouraged by doctors.
Prescription Sleeping Pills
If your insomnia persists and you are not finding relief with the use of OTC sleeping pills, you may need to speak to your doctor about obtaining a prescription sleeping pill. There are many options available, including:
One of the most commonly prescribed sleeping pills, Ambien is a hypnotic medication that can help initiate sleep. It affects GABA, a special type of neurotransmitter within the brain. One possible side effect is complex sleep behaviors such as sleepwalking or sleep eating.
Sold under the brand names of ProSom and Eurodin, this sleeping pill can be helpful for short-term or acute insomnia. It is in the class of medications called benzodiazepines. It is not safe to abruptly stop taking it (instead, the dose must be tapered off) and long-term use is discouraged.
This sleeping pill is also effective for short-term use in the treatment of insomnia. Marketed with the name Triazolam, this is another benzodiazepine medication. As with estazolam, it cannot be abruptly stopped and long-term use is discouraged.
Lunesta is a commonly prescribed sleeping pill that is useful in treating insomnia. It is especially helpful in maintaining sleep because it stays in the body longer than similar medications. So, if you find yourself waking in the middle of the night or too early in the morning, Lunesta might be an option to consider.
Restoril is another benzodiazepine medication that is helpful in treating acute insomnia. It affects the GABA neurotransmitter, which leads to sleep promotion. As with other benzodiazepine medications, Restoril should not be abruptly stopped and its long-term use is discouraged.
In a unique way, Rozerem is effective in the treatment of insomnia. Rozerem is a sleeping pill that works to change levels of the hormone melatonin in the body. As melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone, this medication is thought to be quite safe. Like most medications, however, there is the potential for side effects.
If you are concerned about becoming addicted to sleeping pills, Silenor might be a good option for you. It seems to lack an abuse potential. It is a tricyclic antidepressant that helps with insomnia at lower doses.
For those who have trouble falling asleep, Sonata might be a great option. It is shown to decrease the amount of time it takes to fall asleep, called sleep latency. It begins to work quickly, but it does not last long in the body.
Trazodone is another antidepressant that causes drowsiness and improves insomnia. It does this by increasing the amount of serotonin between nerve cells. There are certain situations where the drug should not be used, such as in certain psychiatric illnesses.
How to Choose a Sleeping Pill
When faced with a daunting list of possibilities, how should you choose a sleeping pill? Luckily, you don't have to make this decision alone. Instead, you should discuss your unique needs with your doctor. After careful consideration of your specific situation, including the nature of your insomnia, the right sleeping pill can be selected. If you ultimately decide that sleeping pills are not for you, you may want to investigate alternatives such as sleep restriction or improving your sleep habits.

Texas woman is suing Facebook over a fake profile.
COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - Over three thousand people gathered in Finlay Park on Saturday to march for justice for an unarmed Florida teen who was killed by a neighborhood watch volunteer.
They wore hooded sweatshirts, or "hoodies" like the one 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was wearing the night he was shot and killed in Sanford, Florida. The hoodie, and the Skittles and iced tea Martin was carrying, have become symbols of a movement of people demanding justice for Martin's death.
March organizer Kyle Green said, "It's a sign that if you have on a hoodie it doesn't necessarily dictate that you're bad or an evil person or you want to cause harm."
"Trayvon is the Emmitt Till of our generation," said event co-chair Chris Sullivan. He's referring to the Mississippi 14-year-old who was beaten to death in 1955 for allegedly whistling at a white woman.
"We all recognize that what happened to him is wrong and unfortunate and show that we all recognize that George Zimmerman needs to be punished for his actions," said rally attendee Erin Parker.
George Zimmerman claims he shot and killed martin in self-defense.
"'A threat to justice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,' those are the words of the great Dr. Martin Luther King and that's why we're here today," said Sullivan.
"If it happened in Florida, it can happen right here in South Carolina" said Sullivan. "We have the same laws on our books."
"It shows that we here in Columbia, South Carolina know that something needs to be done," said Parker.
"The importance of this rally is that we go back and serve social justice in our communities in the name of Trayvon," said Sullivan. "This is the beginning of a movement, the civil rights movement of my generation. It's no longer a black or white issue as Trayvon's mom said. It's a right or wrong issue."
In addition to a 1k march, moment of silence and official remarks, organizers also hosted a voter registration drive.
"Today is a message to the rest of the country that Columbia and the state of South Carolina, we are strong when we come together," said Sullivan. We the people have the power, not the politicians, not the law enforcement. We the people have the power."

Those eating more sour fruit may risk greater erosion of their tooth enamel (especially if teeth are brushed in a softened state), but there's a simple solution.
Images thanks to Tambako the Jaguar / Flickr, Knutux via Wikimedia Commons
The foods found most protective include raw and green/leafy vegetables, tomatoes, citrus, and carrots. Citrus fruits are acidic, though. Fine, less oral cancer, but what the health of the teeth themselves? Might eating lots of sour fruit eat away at our enamel. Well early case reports that raised red flags involved things sucking on lemon wedges—not a good thing for your teeth. Or, rampant cavities as a result of the bizarre habit of sucking bananas. Turns out you should not give your preschool child a banana to suck on day and night as a pacifier. Juicing 18 oranges a day for a decade or two can also take quite a toll. The conventional wisdom that fruit juice may be bad for your teeth, but not whole fruit, was challenged recently. The ability fruits and their juices to erode enamel appear to be comparable, whether you're eating grape or grape juice, carrots or carrot juice, oranges, apples, tomatoes or raisins. Now fruits and fruit juices weren't as bad as soda—diet coke takes the title for softening teeth the quickest, but it was a surprise that fruits and their juices had comparable effects, a result no doubt celebrated by the study's funders, the sugar bureaus as well as the Biscuit, Cake, Chocolate and Confectionery Association. It's interesting the spin the Dental Association put on it, if " eating fruits and vegetables as "whole" foodstuffs may cause similar demineralization in enamel to when they are consumed as a juice," then hey, saying hey maybe fruit juice is not so bad at all. Of course the glass half empty interpretation is that wait a second, fruit is as bad as juice? Maybe fruit is worse than we thought. And indeed, the latest research to study whether the consumption of fruit is cavity causing found that the frequency of fruit consumption was associated with higher odds of cavities, though they acknowledge that the role of fruit sugars in initiating dental cavities in humans has long been a subject of debate. But is this going to be a problem for those eating like this, as opposed to this. Among vegetarians, significantly more frequent consumption of sour products (predominantly raw vegetables and fruit and tomatoes) was observed. Though the ''level of oral hygiene was similar in both groups, those eating vegetarian did have more erosive lesions, but did not find enough to be statistically significant, unlike the other study. No differences in plaque, gingivitis, cavities or tooth loss, but they did find a greater incidence of demineralization and white spots, in the vegan subjects compared to the omnivorous ones, markers of greater acid erosion. So what should people do? There are a number of foods and drinks that have the potential to cause dental erosion, both unhealthy foods like soda and sour candy, as well as healthy foods, such as fresh fruit and some herbal teas. In the biggest study to date, consuming citrus fruits more than twice a day was associated with 37 times greater odds of dental erosion compared to those who consumed citrus fruits less often. It also appears risky to consume apple cider vinegar or sport drinks once a week or more often, or soft drinks daily. These habits resulted in the odds of erosion being ten, four, and four times greater, respectively, than when the habit did not exist. So should we avoid healthy these foods? No. Even the study that found more cavities in kids eating more fruit concluded that even though the consumption of fruit might not be considered completely safe to eat in relation to cavities, we are not in a position to suggest that fruit consumption should be curtailed as a cavity-preventive measure. At this stage, of greater importance is the preventive advice that children should brush their teeth twice daily using fluoride toothpaste. In fact that study that looked at the erosive potential of fruit was done on folks not using fluoride toothpaste . Just don't brush right after you eat the fruit. You have to wait at least 30 minutes. Acid softens your enamel such that if you brush right away you can actually brush away your enamel. They did this study where they had some folks swish some acidic solution —in this case diet Sprite, and then brush immediately after, 10 minutes after, 20, 30 or q full hour. As you can see if you drink soda without brushing at all you may lose some of your teeth, but you can double or triple that damage if you then start brushing your teeth when they're in the acidified softened state. They say we should wait at least 30 minutes and probably a whole hour to be safe. Instead, after eating anything sour, we should rinse out mouth with water to help neutralize the acids. IS there evidence to support this? No, unfortunately Due to the limited number of clinical studies performed to investigate the association between diet and dental erosion, prevention and treatment (from a dietary perspective) are based on common sense rather than an evidence-based approach. In fact there's not a single study concerned with dentist advice for dietary change aimed at preventing tooth erosion." But rinsing with water after eating or drinking anything acidic is the best advice we have so far.

That was a long one! Normally I'd split it up across a few videos into a series but I didn't want to leave people hanging. And I figure they're easier to share with friends and family if it's all packaged into one video. Well almost all--for other aspects of oral health check out the previous video Plant-Based Diets: Oral Health.
What's so great about citrus? I've got a bunch of interesting videos coming down the pike, but there are a few on the site already that hint at the benefits:
Anything else people eating healthy diets should be aware of? The most important consideration is vitamin B12. See my blog posts Vitamin B12: how much, how often? and Vegan B12 deficiency: putting it into perspective.
I imagine there are those not happy with my mention of the F word, but I am not convinced by the concerns that have been raised about fluoride (see my Ask the Doctor entry The dangers of fluoride (tap water fluoridation)?), though it may be possible to get too much in tea, especially for children. See my video Overdosing on Tea.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - The State Department works with countries around the world to build and sustain democratic, well-governed states. Now they're looking at Albany State University to help continue that mission.
The State Department has 30,000 diplomats worldwide. For the first time, the Department recruited at ASU looking for students interested in internships or jobs in Washington or abroad. The State Department is looking for the best and brightest across the nation and they've turned their attention to Albany State University.
"Secretary Rice has said we need a foreign service that represents America so, the only way we can get a foreign service that represents America is to reach out to schools that we normally don't recruit at," says Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Teddy Taylor.
Students at Albany State like political science major Lakeesh Dent were interested to learn about the possibility foreign service may offer.
"I'm excited, I'm really excited about it. I took down all his information, I plan on keeping in contact with him," said Dent.
Promoting U.S. interests and freedom abroad isn't easy, students were told it takes an appreciation for cultures and languages and good communication skills to be successful.
"There are internship opportunities both in Washington as well as abroad working at one of our embassy's or consulates throughout the world," said Roberto Powers of Florida A&M University.
It's a job that comes with dangers, including dealing with the consequences of terrorists actions.
"We can train you to learn how to accept it and deal with it and to in some ways prevent it," said Taylor.
"We're no longer just America. We're America with a global economy, issues, so I think that's very important," Dent said.
Important enough that ASU students could be the ones laying new diplomatic foundations in the future.
State Department officials also encouraged ASU's faculty to get involved with some of their foreign relations programs during the summer months.

President Barack Obama will travel to Monticello with France's president Francois Hollande as part of a state visit.
Schools are letting out early. UVA's basketball game is delayed. A traffic nightmare is expected.
The White House has not released a public schedule for the visit by the two presidents, but Albemarle County Police tell us there will be road closures between 2:30 and 6:30 p.m. Monday.
This is President Obama's fourth visit to the Charlottesville area.
The last time he was in town, police shut down the almost six mile stretch of Route 29 between the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport and the city.
This trip brings along President Francois Hollande of France.
Sources say the actual visit will last about 2 hours.
The presidents will arrive aboard Air Force One at the Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport. An airport spokesman says passengers on late afternoon and evening flights should arrive early to beat the traffic congestion and prepare for minor delays due to ground stops during Air Force One's landing and take-off.
The visit will affect school schedules Monday, as well. Albemarle County and Charlottesville City Schools are letting students out two hours early to get ahead of the traffic closures.
On Albemarle High School student hopes she can beat the traffic.
"I generally take the back route, and there's a little bit of [Route] 29 but hopefully by that time we'll be home," Samantha Webster said.
Events have been rescheduled in anticipation of the frustration.
"I come to the UVA basketball games and so the game has been pushed back from 7 to 9 so that creates some inconvenience for us since we won't be getting home until approximately 11:45," said Jeff Early.
Michie Tavern is just down the road from Monticello where the two presidents will tour. They have a plan for any guests who may get stuck there by security closures.
"There would be worse places to spend an hour, so we'll just make our customers comfortable," said Michie Tavern director of operations Sam Morris. "We're not sure when the road will be closed so I guess if the roads are closed late, then for the late-comers we'll let them know there's a possibility you know that the roads will close."
A presidential visit comes with a cost to local taxpayers.
Albemarle police say they will have several extra officers on duty Monday directing traffic.
During the president's 2010 visit for a political rally, Albemarle Police ran up a $12,000 bill for the security.

Sword-Sharp Scenes
As I edit a first draft, I evaluate each scene and decide if it's necessary and are there ways to make it better. Is there conflict or tension in every scene or perhaps it hints of further conflict to follow.

I agree with every word. :)
Have a happy Thanksgiving.
Also, the video clip on my blog is from the movie Love Actually...yeah, that scene is weird, but funny and beloved among many, especially around the holiday. If you haven't seen the movie, I highly recommend it. Too many stars to list (which usually equates to a crappy film, but not in this case.) and while it is somewhat of a 'chick-flick' most men love it too.
Again, Happy Thanksgiving.

Oh, and sure. I will definitely remove entire scenes during revisions. I hack mercilessly. If it doesn't move the story forward, it goes, no matter how lovely the writing, or how many hours it may have taken.
(I do save them to my 'deleted scenes" file, though. Unless it's crap. Then I just delete into the ether.)

- Susan Gourley/Kelley said...
I heard that movie was good, Lola, though I haven't seen it yet. Maybe this holiday.
I find the scenes most likely to be cut from my finished manuscripts are in the beginning. I've sliced out the entire first chapter in some of my books.
- November 22, 2010 at 8:58 PM
- Alex J. Cavanaugh said...
I'll remove scenes during the first round of edits. After that, I tighten them up!
- November 23, 2010 at 6:54 AM
- Susan Gourley/Kelley said...
I usually only remove after the first edits, Alex, if my editor recommends it and even then I might negotiate.
- November 23, 2010 at 9:06 PM
- Stephen Tremp said...
Yep. I have a JUNKYARD full of parts and pieces I've taken out of my MS. But I can often plug them into other places in other books, so I just have to be patient and wait for the right moment to use these spare parts.
- November 23, 2010 at 10:34 PM
- Victoria said...
I cut ruthlessly.
And that's exactly what I'm doing right now. During my first round of edits, I cut almost 20k words.
Have a great Thanksgiving!!!
- November 24, 2010 at 9:00 AM
- Susan Gourley/Kelley said...
Stephen, I like the idea of a junkyard of spare parts. I might try that.
Victoria, 20K is very ruthless but I know you have the courage to do it.
- November 24, 2010 at 6:14 PM
- Jemi Fraser said...
Love the quote!!! Slashing is the best part of editing for me - I love to hack away at it. :)
Have a terrific Thanksgiving!
- November 24, 2010 at 9:36 PM
- Susan Gourley/Kelley said...
I actually am a reluctant slasher, Jemi. I do like to tighten scenes up but it hurts to slash even when I know I must.

text: Just today I've noticed something new to be occurring that never happened before until my graphics card crashed recently which resulted in a Blue Screen of death. Upon opening Windows Task Manager occasionally there will be 2 processes running that disappear once the Task Manager has been open for a couple minutes. SearchFilterHost.exe & SearchProtocolHost.exe I've seen these 2 processes running before however it was quite rare. Now if I leave Task Manager closed for quite a while then re-open it, these 2 tasks reappear & won't disappear until I've left Task Manager open for a couple minutes. This is a regular occurrence I've noticed for the past few hours today. Although they're not using up a whole lot of memory or CPU it does strike me as odd why they're re-appearing every time I open Task Manager when it's been closed for over 5 minutes or so. What could this mean? Could Defragmenting help even though my HDD is only 2% fragmented? What should I do?

Reno's famous landmark, the Reno Arch is showing support for former Wolf Pack player Colin Kaepernick as he heads to his first Super Bowl game.
The City of Reno partnered with the University of Nevada Athletics for the sign. American Sign and Crane Company donated the labor and equipment for the hanging of the sign.
"Hanging the Go Kap Go! sign on our famous Reno Arch shows the town's support for not only our former Wolf Pack player Colin Kaepernick and our University, but it also generates great community spirit," advises Mayor Bob Cashell.
The City of Reno is urging downtown casinos and business along with the entire community to show similar support on their marquees and signs.
From the City of Reno
Meanwhile, beginning today, Grand Sierra Resort (GSR) will turn red and gold to support famed starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers and University of Nevada alumnus, Colin Kaepernick.
The building will remain lit with shades of red and gold throughout the month of February.
In addition to its catchy exterior, GSR also has a 'super' weekend planned to celebrate the Big Game that includes live entertainment, dining and drink specials and unique casino promotions. For more information about Big Game weekend at GSR, visit www.grandsierraresort.com.

1. Kids Pick The Funniest PoemsThere are actually four different "kids pick" poety books. They are pretty silly and some are rather clever, and some have a meaningful message. Here are a couple stanzas from the poem "I'm Glad I'm Me""
I don't understand why everyone stares
When I take off my clothes and dance down the stairs
Or when I stick carrots in both my ears,
Then dye my hair green and go shopping at Sears ...
Why can't folks accept me the way that I am?
So what if I'm different and don't act like them?
I'm not going to change and be someone I'm not.
I like who I am, and I'm all that I've got!
These books provide a fun introduction to poetry, especially for very young children who love to be silly.
For ages 6 and up.
2. Poetry Speaks to ChildrenThis book is a collection of over 90 poems by some of our favorite authors including Roald Dahl, J. R. R. Tolkien, Gwendolyn Brooks, Ogden Nash, John Ciardi, and Langston Hughes to name just a few. The poems are those that children ages 6 and up will enjoy, but what will help them enjoy these poems even more is the CD that comes with this book. Children hear fifty of the poems being read, which can help them better appreciate the rhyme and rhythm of poetry. Many of the poems are read by the authors themselves, do children can hear them just as the author intended them to be read!
3. It's Raining Pigs & NoodlesThe title of this book should give you an idea of the kinds of poems found in this book. They are clever and amusing and really fun to read. Here's one of the poems from the book:
My underdog is overweight,
he has an underbite,
he tends to tunnel underground
and stay there overnight.
That overactive underdog
is often hard to bear...
he overate my overcoat
and all my underwear.
Children are sure to enjoy reading these poems. They are sure to make them giggle.
For Ages 5 and up
4. Frankenstein Makes a SandwichOne way to deal with fears is to laugh at them. If your child is a little worried about monsters and things that go bump in the night, this is the perfect poetry book. In one poem, poor Frankenstein wanted to make a sandwich, but didn't have bread, meat, cheese or mustard. So he thought he'd see if he could borrow something from his neighbors, but they just chased him off with torches and pitchforks. But they also threw all kinds of food at him so he had more than enough for a sandwich. At first he thought the neighbors were just rude, but then he thanked them for the food! Half of the fun, of course, is the poetic structure of the stories, with their rhyme and rhythm. For ages 7 and up.
5. Technically, It's Not My Fault: Concrete PoemsThis book is quite unique. It is full of poems that are essentially the musings of an 11-year-old boy. What does he muse about? Pretty much what any boy around that age would muse about: why he messed up in basketball, how he'd like a new pet, and how boring homework is. But like many boys that age, he also enjoys being gross (as in the poem "The Autobiography of Murray the Fart"). It's not just the poetry that make this book a good one. The poems are often presented in quite clever shapes. For kids ages 10 and up.
6. Where the Sidewalk EndsThis is one of several books by Shel Silverstein. The very youngest of children (and oldest of adults) enjoy Silverstein's poems. They are simple, but witty. Here's one about a homemade boat:
This boat that we just built is fine--
And don't try to tell us that it's not.
The sides and the back are divine--
It's the bottom I guess we forgot.
If your child is too young to read yet, he or she will still love to hear you read these poems out loud.
7. Runny Babbit: A Billy Sook
This book of poems by Shel Silverstein is just wonderful for every child, but especially those who delight in language. As the title suggests, the book switches the intitial sounds of two words. Here's a little sample of what you can expect. It's a ferry vun rook to bead!
So if you say, "Let's bead a rook
That's billy as can se,"
You're talkin' Runny Babbit talk,
Just like mim and he.
8. FEG: Ridiculous Stupid Poems for Intelligent ChildrenIf your child is interested in poetry and language, this is really a must-have book. The poetry is full of very clever word play. Take the title poem, for example:
Abie's seedy effigy
Eight chide jake: a lemon
O peek:
You are as tea...
What? That makes no sense! Yes, it does -- try reading it out loud. You might need to read it more than once, but every English-speaking youngster will recognize a very familiar song. In addition to the poems, the book makes use of fun footnotes that explain terms and poetic devices (like eye rhymes). It's a fun book to read that also helps children understand poetry. Pretty much everyone, from young children who will enjoy reading or listening to the stories, to older children (even adults), who will not only enjoy the poetry but also learn about it, will want this book!

Basingstoke Town 0-1 Welling United
Updated 12:50pm Wednesday 30th January 2013 in Sport By Mark Doig
WELLING United's tenth consecutive league victory equalled the Conference South record for consecutive victories whilst reducing the lead of pace-setters Salisbury City.
Ross Lafayette claimed the only goal of the game at Basingstoke Town on a boggy pitch that only passed a pitch inspection four hours before kick-off.
Jamie Day and Theo Fairweather-Johnson replaced Scott Kinch and Kiernan Hughes-Mason in the team that had been beaten by Grimsby Town when Welling last played two weeks previously.
In a bright start Fairweather-Johnson collected a pass from Lafayette before firing in an effort that took a massive deflection wrong-footing goalkeeper Ashley Bayes but flying just wide of the near post.
Kurtis Guthrie then struck the outside of the post before his game came to a premature end when a gash on the knee, requiring several stitches, resulted in Hughes-Mason replacing him in the 14th minute.
Tim Sills saw an effort easily saved by Sam Mott, playing his first game since learning of his call up for the England C squad.
Shaun McAuley's cross was then headed onto the roof of the net by Sills then Nathan Smart shot wide from distance.
Joe Healy played in Hughes-Mason with a delightful pass and Bayes, coming out, could only block the ball out as far as Lafayette.
Welling's leading scorer shot first time was unable to find the target with his effort.
Mott then made a reaction save from Manny Williams before Welling scored the only goal of the game.
Hughes-Mason again caught out the Basingstoke defence and squared to Lafayette who made no mistake this time round, steering home off Bayes' outstretched hand.
The first half continued to be an end-to-end saga.
Rob Rice landed a header onto the roof of the net for the Dragons then Lafayette had a shot parried away by Bayes.
Jide Ogunbote shot wide before Richard Kendall enraged Welling with some awful refereeing.
Fairweather-Johnson's run across the field 20 yards out was ended with a foul but the official decided that the Welling player had dived and then compounded his error by booking the wrong player, with Lafayette being the unfortunate player to be shown the yellow card.
Basingstoke came out strongly in the second period and Mott made a save from Sills then Fraser Franks made a vital clearance in the penalty area, as he and Anthony Acheampong answered all questions asked of them.
McAuley screwed wide from the edge of the area then Sills' cross was met by the head of Williams but he was unable to find the power needed to worry Mott.
Having weathered the storm, Welling came back and Loui Fazakerley's strong run earned a corner.
Jack Obersteller's delivery found Lee Clarke but the Welling captain headed wide.
Clarke was in the thick of things again, moments later, when heading Day's free kick over the bar.
Healy shot over following good work by Fairweather-Johnson before the hosts were given a gilt edged opportunity in the 90th minute.
Franks blotted an otherwise fine performance by diving in on a tackle and conceding a penalty.
Wes Daly stepped up but saw his spot kick come back off the post and Welling saw out the four additional minutes without further alarm to write their name into the league's record books.

Basingstoke were in the play offs last season, so to win and get a clean sheet shows that Welling are still in incredible form despite the enforced winter break and not playing for the last couple of weeks. Also saw its clawed back 3 points on the team above them..

Welling are proving excellent value for money at the moment. Especially in such difficult financial times. To be able to take a whole for family to a football match for just £24 (£12 adults, kids free) is almost unheard of in the football league.
I would strongly recommend taking the family to a Welling game. Either as a new day out experience or as an alternative to the extortionately priced Premiership and Championship football. You'll be surprised how entertaining Welling's style of football is.
The next game at Park View Road is next Saturday against Dorchester Town at 3PM. Come down and support the local team. :-)
I can't wait for the match highlights to come up. Come On You Wings!!!

Lawyer: 'Brave Nicklinson case needs public support for law to be changed'
Lawyer Yogi Amin, from Irwin Mitchell, said it was up to Parliament to decide the next steps. He said that, "the law on this sensitive and emotive issue is very clear at present - physician-assisted suicide is unlawful."
He added:
This brave attempt at changing the law requires some real public support before the law develops in this respect.
My thoughts are with the family as what they are going through must be a terribly hard situation to deal with.
The pro-lifers argue that 'sanctity of life' as a principle should not be watered down and that to create an exemption in this case may lead to a slippery slope - opening the door to many other classes of cases seeking such an exemption.
This shines a light on the tensions that exist between judge-made law and Parliament, both of which play a key role in our country's unique constitution.
It is clear that there is still plenty to be decided on this law, but the courts have now made it clear that it is for Parliament to decide the next steps.

Why does one think that landscaping is a permanent installation that should last for a lifetime? Well, we'd certainly like to think so after spending all those dollars to beautify our residences. This may be true to a degree but certainly not set in stone.
Circumstances abound where new choices come on the market that will enhance ones original choices or, if one wants to, completely replace areas with fresh and updated products that are more suitable to currant lifestyles just like one would update their wardrobe when old and worn out.
There are cases (I've seen many) where denial almost becomes comical in the refusal to remove a dead or half dead tree, shrub, or even plants that exist in one's landscape.
Take for example the many, many Arborvitae that succumbed to the severe draught a couple of years ago. As beautiful as they originally were, and the privacy that they provided, there is no excuse to leave a brown and dead shrub or shrubs standing in an otherwise healthy landscape. Arborvitae are shallow rooted hence their vulnerability to severe dry conditions as was seen.
Folks, they're not coming back so get rid of them and stick in some new ones or replace them with something else. If they are replaced, and if a next severe draught comes around, then soak them daily to retain their hydration and "mist" the vegetation on extremely hot days. If you have a sprinkling system it should cover foundation installations as well as perimeter plants — I've seen untouched specimens that survived remarkably just because they received proper hydration. Arborvitae is just one example, albeit the hardest hit, in once thriving landscapes.
There are other examples of removal neglect that I've seen in various landscapes as well. If you have a tree (ornamental or otherwise) that is diseased and has multiple dead branches that render it hopelessly lost, i.e. severely miss-shaped, then it would be wise to remove and replace it. The mindset of most is that it will miraculously start growing again along the "dead" branches- it won't, so remove the branches to allow new branching to "fill in" the open area or, if past this point of return, completely remove the tree and replant with a healthy specimen.

Sergeant Major [Abudefduf saxatilis]
The Sergeant Major or píntano (Abudefduf saxatilis, family Pomacentridae) is a large, colourful damselfish. It earns its name from its brightly striped sides, which are reminiscent of the insignia of a military Sergeant Major. It grows to a length of about 15cm (6 inches).
The fish feed upon the larvae of invertebrates, zooplankton, smaller fish, crustaceans and various species of algae. They are preyed upon by some members of the Labridae and Serranidae families. They lay their eggs in patches on a firm substrate and guard them vigorously until they hatch.
Sergeant majors are found throughout the tropical reaches of the Atlantic, including off the south coast of the United States, Central America, eastern South America and western Africa. They are often found on coral reefs at depths of between 1 and 12 meters. (text source: wikipedia)

Black grouper [Mycteroperca bonaci]
The black grouper, Mycteroperca bonaci, is one of the best known of the large group of Perciform fish called groupers. The black grouper is a large marine fish, growing up to 150 centimetres in length and 100 kilograms in weight. It has an olive or gray body, with black blotches and brassy spots. The preopercle is gently rounded. It is associated with rocky or coral reefs but is not dependent on them; it is found in the Western Atlantic Ocean, from Massachusetts, USA, in the north to southern Brazil, but is particularly associated with the southern Gulf of Mexico, the Florida Keys, the Bahamas and the Caribbean. Adults are not found at the northern extremes of its range. It lives mostly near the surface, at depths ranging from 6 to 33 meters.
The black grouper is quite tasty and an important food fish, is fished for sale but also for sea-angling. While not currently considered endangered, it is vulnerable to increases in exploitation because it is a relatively slow breeder. The black grouper is a solitary fish. Adults feed mainly on other fish and squid, though the younger fish feed on crustaceans especially shrimps.
The fish spawns between May and August. It is a protogynous hermaphrodite, i.e. the young are predominantly female but transform into males as they grow larger. There are other fish that are sometimes called "black groupers". These include the similar gag grouper, Mycteroperca microlepis, the misty grouper Epinephelus mystacinus, and the critically endangered Warsaw grouper Epinephelus nigritus.
Indigo Hamlet [Hypoplectrus indigo]
A hamlet is a fish of the genus Hypoplectrus. It is a grouping fish that is found mainly in coral reefs in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, particularly around Florida and the Bahamas.
Wikipedia has no article on Indigo Hamlet.
Spotted moray [Gymnothorax moringa]
The spotted moray, Gymnothorax moringa, is a typical medium-sized moray eel. It has a long snake-like body, white or pale yellow in color with small overlapping dark-brown spots. It can grow to over a meter in length and weigh up to 2.5 kg.
The spotted moray is found in the Western Atlantic Ocean from North Carolina and Bermuda to Brazil, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. It is also found around Mid- and Eastern Atlantic islands as far south as St Helena. It prefers shallow water (up to 200 m in depth) with a rocky or grassy bottom.
Spotted morays are solitary animals, and are usually seen in holes, with only the head protruding. They are active during the day, feeding at the sea bottom on crustaceans and other fish. Their bite can be dangerous to humans. There is a minor fishery for them, and they have even been kept as aquarium fish, though they grow too large for this to be practicable in most circumstances. (text source: wikipedia)
Goldentail moray [Gymnothorax miliaris]
Wikipedia has no article on Goldentail moray.
Green moray [Gymnothorax funebris]
The green moray, Gymnothorax funebris, is a moray eel of the family Muraenidae, found in the western Atlantic from New Jersey, Bermuda, and the northern Gulf of Mexico to Brazil, at depths down to 40 m. Its length is up to 2.5 m.
The green moray is a very large moray, uniformly dark green to brown. It is a benthic and solitary species occurring along rocky shorelines, reefs, and mangroves, usually found shallower than 30 m. Due to its large size and aggressiveness, the bites of this moray are particularly dangerous. It feeds mainly at night on fish and crustaceans. It is marketed fresh and salted, although large individuals are cigua-toxic. (text source: wikipedia)
Whitespotted filefish [Cantherhines dumerilii]
Wikipedia has no article on whitespotted filefish.
Scrawled filefish [Aluterus scriptus]
The scrawled filefish, Aluterus scriptus, is a filefish of the family Monacanthidae. Its length is up to 1.1 m, and it is found on tropical reefs circumglobally to a depth of 120 m.
Coloration is olive brown to grey with blue lines and spots, while juveniles may be yellowish-brown with dark spots. The body and head has a scattered of small black spots. The body is elongate and strongly compressed. The caudal fin is rounded and long. The gill opening is oblique.
The scrawled filefish inhabits lagoons and seaward reefs, and occasionally are seen under floating objects. Juveniles may travel with weed rafts in the open ocean for a long time and reaching a large size. Adults are usually seen along deep coastal slopes or outer reef drop-offs in about 20 m depth. They feed on algae, seagrass, hydrozoans, gorgonians, colonial anemones, and tunicates.

Kudos to Friends of La Jolla Shores
A big round of applause goes to the Friends of La Jolla Shores, which has been instrumental in bringing the Kellogg Park playground area back to life. From raising the funds to install this creative play equipment with its lifeguard-beach theme to the Map showing what's offshore and the renovation of the restrooms, the group has worked hard and long to make the beach park a fun place for youngsters. And stay tuned: There's more to come as the sculpture of JJ the Baby Gray Whale nears installation along with educational panels showing the individual inhabitants of the La Jolla marine reserve.
This weekly feature gives kudos to businesses, property owners and institutions that do their part to help make La Jolla beautiful. Send your suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.com.

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) researchers have observed for the first time the Hall effect in a gas of ultracold atoms. The Hall effect is an important interaction of magnetic fields and electric current more commonly associated with metals and semiconductors. Variations on the Hall effect are used throughout engineering and physics with applications ranging from automobile ignition systems to fundamental measures of electricity. The new discovery could help scientists learn more about the physics of quantum phenomena such as superfluidity and the quantum Hall effect.
Just as NASA engineers test new rocket designs in computer studies before committing themselves to full prototypes, so physicists will often model matter under various circumstances to see whether something new appears. This is especially true of atomtronics, a relatively new science devoted to creating artificial tailored materials consisting of neutral atoms held in an array with laser beams, or atoms moving along a desired track under electric or magnetic influence. A new study shows how a simple "joystick" consisting of an adjustable magnetic field can create several new phases of atomtronic matter, several of them never seen before.
