I have a dried, dandelion flower that I keep to remind me of the dozens of times my boys have been sweet.
It's nice to imagine them seeing a flower and thinking "Mom," then picking it for me. It's like a little whispered, "I love you."
But the crop of dandelions invading my back yard? Not so nice. I don't see love in them; I see war.
In the must-have, green-well-manicured-lawn world of suburbia, the yellow flowers scream, "I don't take care of my lawn." And likely tick off my neighbors who probably worry the weeds will spread into their perfectly green yards.
It's embarrassing, even though this spring, dandelions are sprouting up EVERYWHERE. Some parkways are so full of them that blades of grass are scarce. They have overrun parks, fields, medians and just like ours— many yards.
Our problem started two years ago when I got mad and fired our lawn service company for not knowing (after eight years of servicing our yard) what trees and shrubs were on our property. This year we decided to take matters into our own hands.
We consulted a neighbor who is particular about his yard and put down the same weed control and fertilizer that he uses. We're also paying the boys to dig, pull and spray.
Not as easy a task as we thought. After a few days work, one-and-a-half yard waste bags are full of the weeds with about the same amount of them still in the yard. Then those yellow flowers keep popping up. It's going to be a battle.
I decided to do a little research. I discovered the little dandelion is a hardy plant. No surprise there. Our spring assault might be futile. We're best off fighting them in the fall, when they are done seeding and when they will take any weed control we put down into their roots.
And who knew the dandelion has so many uses? Its leaves are used in salads; its petals for wine; its roots for coffee; its nectar and pollen for honey bees; and its medicinal properties to treat infections, even cancer.
Interesting, but I think I still prefer a nice, green lawn with the occasional flower waiting to be picked by one of the boys.

Tributes paid to respected academic
4:06pm Wednesday 18th July 2012 in North Essex
TRIBUTES have been paid to respected academic Dr Tony Rich who has died of cancer.
Dr Rich, who was 58, was described as an exemplary and popular registrar at the University of Essex, a post he held for 12 years.
While based in Colchester, Dr Rich played a key role in community life.
He served as a governor at Colchester Institute, was chairman of the Colchester Partnership for London 2012 and was on Colchester's local strategic partnership Colchester 2020.
Dr Rich left to become registrar and chief operating officer at the University of Bristol last year but took medical retirement after being diagnosed with incurable cancer.
Essex Vice Chancellor Professor Colin Riordan said: "Tony was admired and respected throughout the sector as an exemplary registrar and secretary and he made an immense contribution both to the university and to the broader community."

Superb views and beautifully furnished.
We had a great stay at Heather's condo. It is comfortable and tastefully furnished. The views are breathtaking - could have sat and gazed all day! Our children loved the spotlessly clean and never crowded pool area. Marco itself was a tropical treasure. Thank you for our stay.
My husband and I we're married on Saturday June 21st in Ohio. Marry was kind enough to allow us to rent for our honeymoon from Sunday to Sunday instead of Saturday to Saturday, so we were able to spend more time there. Marry was very easy to work with and was very sweet! (She even left us a bottle of wine and can of almonds to celebrate:)) The condo is just as beautiful in person as it is in the pictures! It was very clean and beautifully decorated! The view from the balcony is amazing as you are in the perfect spot to enjoy the lagoon, gulf, and an abundance of wildlife! My husband and I went on a dolphin Eco tour one day which was a great experience and worth the money! We also went on Everglades tour and spent many days on the beach and exploring the wildlife in the lagoon! We found many beautiful shells and sand dollars. We also experienced many great restaurants such as; Captain Brien's, Marco Island Brewery, CJ's on the bay, and Snook Inn all of which I would recommend! I had the most amazing experience here on my honeymoon and will recommend this condo to everyone! I can't wait to come back & stay in this condo!

Graft (politics)
|The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (December 2013)
Graft, a form of political corruption, is the unscrupulous use of a politician's authority for personal gain. Most governmental systems have laws in place to prevent graft although this does not always halt political corruption.
A traditional example of political graft is when someone exchanges a political donation for political favor (e.g. ristournes in Quebec or tangenti in Italy). Grafting, however, does not require another individual to be involved. A member of a government may embezzle money directly from government funds, make decisions that benefit his own private economic interests, or simply use inside knowledge of upcoming government decisions to his benefit, in a manner similar to insider trading.
History of graft[edit]
United States of America[edit]
William M. Tweed or "Boss Tweed" was taken out of his position in the New York State Senate to help to prevent graft and other political corruption, but this failed.

There were 1,216 background checks conducted in Colorado on Friday for people looking to purchase a gun, a 43 percent increase compared to the average number checks for the previous two Fridays, the Denver Post reported Monday.
Just a few hours after the attack, 15 to 20 people were lined up outside a Parker, Colo. gun shop, the Denver Post reported.
"A lot of it is people saying, 'I didn't think I needed a gun, but now I do,'" Jake Meyers, a worker at the Parker gun store, told the Denver Post. "When it happens in your backyard, people start reassessing – 'Hey, I go to the movies.'"
But a father who lost his son in the Columbine high school shooting wasn't shocked by the spike in numbers, according to the Denver Post.
"To me that's just symbolic of the fear that drives (people)," Tom Mauser, who is also a gun-control advocate, told the Denver Post.
There were similar increases in background checks after the Virginia Tech shooting rampage in 2007 and after a Tuscon, Ariz. gunman killed six people and seriously injured then-Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in 2010, the paper noted.

The unofficial school election results are in.
The Lockwood School District's building reserve levy passes with an overwhelming yes vote of more than 66%. Tobin Novasio, Lockwood School Superintendent, says passing the building levy will allow Lockwood to increase the amount of security cameras in schools.
"We're looking at the areas with the biggest need, where we have some hallways that there's not a lot of traffic in that would be an area where we have some concern so trying to get those types of things, we'll also put cameras at the front doors," says Novasio.
Parents will be buzzed into the school with a new keyless lock entry system to help the administrative assistant regulate the comings and going of students and visitors.
"It puts responsibility on us too, we have to be good stewards of their money so that we can maintain that trust and we intend to do that," says Novasio.
In School District Two, Superintendent Terry Bouck is happy the general fund levy passes, which will allow SD2 to hire around 15-18 new teachers.
"We're actually going to start the process of interviewing and selecting immediately," says Bouck.
Bouck says that'll help to reduce class sizes and support the master facilities plan by hiring new teachers when new middle schools are eventually built. The technology levy will positively affect elementary and middle schools.
"Interactive devices such as i-Pads, i-Pods, computers, etc. We'll also have these mobile devices that are clickers which are used to asses student learning," says Bouck.
Both superintendents are thrilled the community is voting to support students. In Laurel, the "no" votes outnumber the "yes" votes, for the four elementary school and high school levies. And the same goes for Canyon Creek, Independent, and Pioneer's general fund levies.

I am totally serious that I had this dream last night. Now I have to tell you that it way too early to start talking about this topic, but I have to get this on the record, so that if it comes to fruition I will have proof of what happened.
Now the bottom line is that the SAINTS win next year's Super Bowl. But here's the interesting thing that came out as they were recapping the season. They started talking about the SAINTS losing to the Cleveland Browns in week 4 dropping their record to 2 - 2. All the half-hearted started jumping off the bandwagon. The real fans and the team never waivered. As a result, after waiting for over 40 years for our first Super Bowl, The SAINTS became only the ninth team in NFL history to repeat as Super Bowl Champs.
Now the thing to note here is that the NFL schedule has not even been released at the time of this post. When the SAINTS schedule is released, if they draw the Browns on the 4th week, I will be bringing this post back out. In addition I should note that in the dream, the SAINTS lost on the last play of the game, the offense had the ball and couldn't score on the last play to pull out the win. I mean it was a heartbreaker. When next season rolls around and the game turns out like I dreamed it would (because I have given quite a bit of detail regarding the outcome), I will be bringing this post back out. When we win the NFCCG, I will be bringing this post back out. The point is that I have to get this thing recorded, in public, because otherwise no one is going to believe that I actually dreamt this.
Now if any of these things doesn't happen, I will let this post go the way of the dinosaur, and the chances are that no one else would care enough to ever mention it again.

Characterized by difficulty falling asleep, waking up often, and poor-quality sleep, insomnia can take a toll on health and leave a person exhausted and cranky. If you have trouble sleeping, an occasional over-the-counter sleep aid may help you get the sleep you need. This buying guide will help you find a sleep aid to fit your health goals, lifestyle, and budget.
Keep the following additional points in mind as you choose a product:
What they are: There are two over-the-counter medications approved for use as sleep aids to manage occasional insomnia:
Why to buy: Diphenhydramine and doxylamine effectively induce drowsiness and lead to uninterrupted sleep for many people. These products come in many forms, including soft gels, tablets, caplets, and chewables. Soft gels and chewables are faster acting than tablets.
Things to consider: You should not take diphenhydramine or doxylamine if you are pregnant or breast-feeding, or if you have glaucoma, heart problems, enlarged prostate, or ulcers. Additionally, do not take doxylamine if you have or have had asthma or bronchitis. Some people feel groggy the next day after taking these medications. For very few people, especially children, diphenhydramine and doxylamine may cause agitation and alertness, which will not help insomnia!
What they are: Natural sleep aids include dietary supplements, herbs, and other non-medication substances. Common natural sleep aids include:
Why to buy: Some of these herbs and dietary supplements have research to support that they may be helpful for managing insomnia, including melatonin, valerian, chamomile, passionflower, theanine, magnesium, hops, and L-tryptophan. They may be less likely to cause next-day grogginess than over-the-counter sleep medications.
Things to consider: Natural does not always mean safe. All dietary supplements and herbs should be carefully reviewed with your healthcare provider or pharmacist. If you are managing a health condition, this will help to ensure a supplement is safe to combine with medications you are using. Use plant- and herb-based natural sleep aids with caution if you have hay fever or seasonal allergies; some of these products may cause allergic reactions in susceptible individuals. Natural sleep aids may not be safe for people with a history of mental health conditions, such as anxiety or depression. If in doubt, talk to your doctor first. Magnesium can have laxative effects, so start with a low dose to assess your tolerance to this mineral.
What they are: Stop-snoring products are designed to decrease bothersome snoring, either through physically opening breathing passageways, or by changing how the muscles in the mouth and throat are contracting or relaxing. Mouthpieces and nasal clips and strips are used to open breathing passages. Homeopathic, herbal, and other natural substances are taken orally or sprayed into the throat to ease snoring.
Why to buy: Some people find stop-snoring products to be helpful. They are relatively inexpensive and the products designed to physically open breathing passages are safe for nearly everyone.
Things to consider: Snoring can signal a serious health condition, such as sleep apnea. If you've developed snoring recently, if your snoring is severe, or if you are groggy most of the time during the day, talk to your doctor before you try to self-treat snoring.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Like Lubbock, the area north of Amarillo has been hit with heavy rain. One would think such rain would make a big difference to the lake that supplies Lubbock and 10 other West Texas cities with water.
But a chart with up to date information from the U.S. Geological Survey shows otherwise; Lake Meredith has come up less than an inch or so in the last week.
According to USGS, Meredith was down to 43.85 feet on July 8th. On Tuesday it was 43.92 feet deep; a difference of 0.84 inches. Otherwise from May 15th to the present Meredith has been on an almost steady decline. The mid-May increase was only three inches or so. The lake can drop half an inch or more on any given day.
Lubbock is moving quickly to get Lake Alan Henry up and going before Meredith is so dry that it can no longer be used as a water supply.

The very hip Cat Devrees is also up for the title, and Mac's initial attempts to outcool the coolest teen in town don't go very well. An unyielding competitor, Cat is the obvious choice for the position; Mac appears to be just a small obstacle as she seeks to claim her prize. To compete, the two teens seek out what they think is cool and post their ideas online. The person with the most online votes will win the job.
The website creators gamble on Mac in the hopes that he's so uncool he's cool. Mac isn't so sure, so he has to test himself and consider: Is "cool" found in new products and fashions and trends, or is "cool" something a little more elusive? Through seeking cool, Mac learns a few lessons about himself—and who he really aspires to be.
Kids searching for a place in what seems to be the strictly coded world of cool versus uncool will find hope and a new life outlook in Mac Slater Hunts the Cool. The novel is a refreshing and irreverent take on the underdog protagonist seeking and reaching new heights. And while Mac Slater is an obvious choice for boys, it will appeal to girls, too, because the themes are relevant to kids everywhere.

Horn Book Guide Reviews 2010 Fall
Geeky Mac Slater faces off against popular-girl Cat DeVrees in a "coolhunters" competition. Each contestant video-blogs for five days about what's cool. Quirky, independent Mac, along with his nerdy friend Paul and Mac's humorously eccentric parents, ultimately outshines shallow Cat in this well-written, inventive underdog story set in Australia.

Kirkus Reviews 2010 March #1
An Aussie teen turns global coolhunter in a slick, fast-paced story that bookends nicely with Scott Westerfeld's So Yesterday (2004). No one is more surprised than Mac Slater when the nerdy underdog child of impoverished hippie parents is tapped by corporate trend-spotters to compete for one of their adolescent Internet correspondent spots. His adversary is none other than sinister fashionista Cat DeVrees, whom Mac has a crush on despite the fact that she backstabs him at every turn. Her weapon is couture while his is invention, and soon it seems that Cat's hemlines are going to win out over Mac's attempts at creating a flying bicycle. But the end is never really in doubt, though what happens next will be covered in an upcoming sequel. Tackling the topic of cool for capricious and increasingly media-savvy teens is inherently risky. While Bancks's diverting portrayal of trend-spotting rings true, its shelf life may be limited due to the subject's inconstant nature. A timely tome for today but not necessarily tomorrow.

Library Media Connection Reviews 2010 August/September
Mac Slater is the most uncool kid at school. He lives in a bus, his mother makes flame batons, and his father is in and out of jail when not working on his lightning farm. Mac lives to take risks, dreamed up by his friend Paul, but these risks rarely work out as planned. His nemesis, Cat, the coolest girl at school, and Mac are tagged to compete to become the fifth, and final, coolhunter. They have five days to videotape what they feel is cool and share it on the Internet for others to vote on; Mac and Paul make a comeback to win. The value of friendship, invention, creativity, and being true to oneself are all explored in this novel. The concepts and ideas are appropriate for upper elementary and middle-school readers who are on the outside looking in, wanting to be more but afraid to show their true colors. Filled with current technology, and based on the growing rage of coolhunting, this book speaks to today?s youth. Recommended.

School Library Journal Reviews 2010 March
Gr 6-9--Once a haven for hippies and starving artists, eighth-grader Mac Slater's seaside hometown in Australia has begun to be recognized as one of the world's coolest destinations. After watching Mac crash his latest extreme invention, a flying bike, Coolhunters, a Web-based company looking for young people to post their reports on the hottest new trends, invites him to participate in a contest to become their next correspondent. All he has to do to win is post daily videos of the coolest trends coming out of Kings Bay and attract more online votes than his competition. The gig comes with cash, free stuff, and travel opportunities, including a trip to New York. The problem is, unconventional Mac is not sure he knows what "cool" even means. A geeky outcast at school, he lives in a converted double-decker bus with his street-performer mom. His estranged dad, still living nearby, is a prickly, aging activist and inventor who spends time working on oddball projects like an energy-capturing "lightning farm" when he's not serving time for civil disobedience. Mac's biggest obstacle, though, is his cutthroat classmate Cat DeVrees, a beautiful, calculating fashionista with a huge wardrobe and a goony boyfriend. There's no way she's going to let some loser get between her and the big-time celebrity she feels entitled to. First in a planned series, this novel affirms a truth adolescents need to be reminded of: that true cool comes from within and can't be obtained with a credit card.--Jeffrey Hastings, Highlander Way Middle School, Howell, MI[Page 151].

Liza Minnelli, Joel Grey, Debbie Reynolds and "Baby Peggy" Diana Serra Cary will be attending the 2012 TCM Classic Film Festival, scheduled to take place in Hollywood from April 12-15. Film noir actresses Peggy Cummins, Rhonda Fleming and Marsha Hunt will also be on hand.
This year's TCM Festival (which costs a pretty penny to attend) presents the North American premiere of a 75th anniversary restoration of Renoir's 1937 war drama "Grand Illusion," as well as a screening of the Douglas Fairbanks silent film, "The Thief of Bagdad," accompanied live by the Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra.
The festival will kick off with a gala (and world premiere) screening of the 40th anniversary restoration of "Cabaret," accompanied by Grey and Minnelli (both actors took home Oscars for their turns in the 1972 musical film). Other programming through the weekend includes an appearance by Reynolds at the premiere screening of the 60th anniversary restoration of "Singin' in the Rain," the U.S. premiere of "Baby Peggy: The Elephant in the Room," a documentary by Vera Iwerebor about Diana Serra Cary's life, and a tribute to Audrey Hepburn as part of TCM's "Style in the Movies" celebration.
The Original Brian | February 2, 2012 11:13 AM
Diana Serra Cary wrote a great book in the '70s called "The Hollywood Posse," about the cowboys who went to Hollywood in the 'teens and '20s and worked on westerns, bringing a good deal of authenticity to them. One of them was her father and she tells their story. An amazing account.
Oh, and I still can't wrap my head around Marsha Hunt (94), Rhonda Fleming (90) and Peggy Cummins (86) all being in one place at one time. I didn't know Ms. Cummins (GUN CRAZY) was even still with us!

good to time to ask a question of tcm: what are the plans for restoration, leading to a long-awaited dvd of Raintree County - this has been a subject of much discussion, with no comment to date from tcm/warner
Jacob C | February 1, 2012 12:20 PM
Good point Rodney--I linked to the wrong video. It's fixed now. Thanks for the comment.
Rodney Sauer | February 1, 2012 11:15 AM
It should be great fun... but note that the preview trailer included in this article is for the 1940 "Thief of Bagdad," with Conrad Veidt and Sabu. The film being shown at the festival is the 1924 "Thief of Bagdad," with Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. Both are very entertaining, but only one is silent and appropriate for live orchestra accompaniment.

- Written by Super User
Slated for June 9, 2012, Fort Fisher State Historic Site will host "Model Military: Visualizing History in Scale," a free program that highlights the use of models and miniatures in creating history in a scale format.
On June 9, 2012, Fort Fisher State Historic Site will host the first of three 2nd Saturday programs open to the public this summer season. "Model Military: Visualizing History in Scale" will spotlight the use of models and miniatures in creating history in a scale format. Local artisans and hobbyists with Eastern Carolina Plastic Modelers will display their creations and discuss model research and hobby tips.
Also on hand will be noted Civil War author and historian Michael Hardy, who will be signing his books in the visitor's center. The fort's 12-pound Napoleon cannon will be fired throughout the day and costumed tours of the fort's remaining earthworks will be given at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., and 3 pm. The event is free, though donations are appreciated. All Fort Fisher programming is made possible by the Friends of Fort Fisher, the nonprofit group that supports the site.
Fort Fisher, the largest earthen fortification in the Confederacy, once protected the port of Wilmington and the vital blockade running trade on the Cape Fear River. After two massive bombardments the fort fell to a Union infantry assault on January 15, 1865. With the capture of Fort Fisher, Wilmington's port – "the Lifeline of the Confederacy" – was closed to foreign trade. Fort Fisher State Historic Site is located at 1610 Fort Fisher Blvd S, Kure Beach, N.C. 28449.

Do you think Twitter deserves a tax break to stay in San Francisco?
Tax Reform
Log-in to take the poll, join the conversation and share your ideas with friends on Facebook.
With ongoing budget deficits in San Francisco and beyond, Resetting San Francisco starts with a return to sound fiscal policy and fair tax reform.
The city certainly needs to do a better job with the money we have now. Increasing efficiency and collecting delinquent revenue can go a long way toward helping close our $483 million budget gap. That's why my city office is focused on finding new revenue by becoming more efficient.
But finding efficiencies is just part of the solution. We need sound fiscal and tax policies. That's why it is so important to fully debate proposals like the San Francisco plan to offer a tax break to Twitter and other companies that create new jobs in the Mid Market area.

You can join this important debate by taking our poll to the right, signing a petition and by adding your voice to the discussion below. Do you think we should offer Twitter a tax break?
> Sign this petition if you think Twitter tax breaks are good for San Francisco.
> Sign this petition if you think the city should not give Twitter – a company valued at $10 billion – a tax break.
Close the Tax Loopholes
We also need to start looking at real reforms to our tax system, like closing loopholes in Proposition 13 that have allowed a few commercial property owners to pay a decreasing share of total taxes. When Proposition 13 passed a generation ago, commercial property owners in San Francisco paid the majority of property taxes. But now homeowners pay more.
Our state loses an estimated $7.5 billion in revenue because of business tax loopholes in Proposition 13 – and with state cuts to our city budget, we cannot afford this massive loophole any longer.

Flood of objections to mobile home in rural spot
6:00pm Friday 9th May 2014 in News By Miranda Robertson
OBJECTIONS have flooded in against a couple's bid to live on agricultural land on the outskirts of Fordingbridge, and run a farm.
More than 100 people have written to New Forest District Council about Sophia Fletcher and Nick Crowe's mobile home, sited off Marl Lane and Puddleslosh Lane.
About 90 of them are objecting to the caravan, which the pair say they need to site there for three years to get a garlic and goats business off the ground.
But locals say they are fed up after a flurry of applications to live on rural land in that area, and will fight any application that is not purely for farming with no residential use.
They say parcels of land in the area have been sold cheaply as agricultural land, but new owners are being led to believe they can live there temporarily if they run a farm.
And they say if one of the applications is approved it will set a precedent that could see mobile homes popping up all over a very rural spot used by walkers and riders.
One objector, Laura Skelton, who lives on Marl Lane, said it is "an important green space for Fordingbridge, used by ramblers, cyclists and dog walkers" and says the couple's "business plan does not offer enough justification or evidence that an 'agricultural worker' should live on site".
Gordon Greenock, of Marl Lane, said: "I fully support the use of this land for agricultural practices, farming, animal husbandry, and the establishment of small agricultural businesses.
"It has been a joy to local residents to see two young people working the land and establishing an enterprise.
"What I object to is the use of this land for residential buildings, and I do not approve of the retrospective planning application."
But Gillian Winter, of Gregory's Avenue, in Salisbury, said: "I can understand the locals' frustration at no longer being able to walk in these areas, especially after having done so for such a long period of time.
"In fact, the same happened in Salisbury on a large patch of land at the mews.
"However, although it may be disappointing, this land has been legally purchased by the couple."
She added: "They are not living on the property.
"This caravan is being used for agricultural storage, and if they choose to request a change of purpose for the caravan then that is their choice and I can't see it affecting locals. These people clearly are not 'squatters'."
The application is scheduled for discussion at NFDC on Wednesday.

Zip Curveball Trainer - Please, Don't Buy This
This has nothing to do with A-Rod or steroids. Hopefully, it will be a welcome distraction. I found this horrible product one day, and I was waiting for a gap in my articles to publish something about it. Enjoy the write-up, but please, don't buy the Zip Curveball Trainer.

Real elopement: Vanessa + Atiq
So here's a new one for you…Vanessa & Atiq married themselves. Thats right…you heard correctly. Apparently in Colorado you can do that, and I'm loving it! Who's needs an officiant to tell you how much you love each other when you can just do it yourselves in a beyond personal ceremony for 2?
'Atiq and I wanted everything to be simple and cozy. We wanted to enjoy our wedding day and not plan a day for other people. I picked Cheeseman Park for its beautiful columns and picturesque settings. I wanted the balloons for a bouquet because ever since I was a kid I wanted to be carried away into the sky with balloons. I felt it would be a charming scene to be in a white dress stepping out of a yellow city taxicab with a bunch of balloons in tow. From the moment I stepped out of the taxi it was going to be about us sharing our love and exchanging our vows. Melissa's pictures showed it all. I was so happy that this moment was here and I was able to enjoy all of it with my husband. All the details came from our hearts we wrote our vows, I made our cake, and even sculpted the wedding cake topper. We topped it off with the most romantic and unforgettable carriage ride to our favorite restaurant, Luca D'italia, where we had our wedding dinner. We planned it to be our romance day, and it was. '

Four weddings and a funeral. Not the film: it's what Dhanalakshmi Rentals in the town of Kalmunai in eastern Sri lanka has catered to this month. Its owner, 58-year-old Kunjilaiyapodi Dhanalakshmi, is a busy woman these days. She's just made a receipt of items for another wedding ceremony that will take place this evening.
"I have rented out 100 chairs, 100 porcelain items and 50 glasses. I'll get my payment tomorrow when they return the items."
Until two years ago, Kunjilaiyapodi couldn't imagine a regular monthly income. She lost her husband and two teenage sons in the early 90s when the Sri Lankan civil war was at its peak.
"The army suspected my husband and sons and they took them away. I never saw them after that. We were later told that they were killed. Their bodies were never found."
And as if one disaster wasn't enough, the tsunami in 2004 swept away her coastal home. She lived in a temporary camp and later was provided with a concrete house by one of the local NGOs.
But her life changed completely when Rose Charities came to her town, and introduced micro credit schemes there. She borrowed Rs.20,000 and paid a monthly installment of Rs.2,000. She began a small business of renting out household items. Kunjilaiyapodi now has an average monthly income of Rs.3000, that's US$26 - enough to support herself as well as her ailing elder brother.
Richard Anthony the head of Rose charities, Sri Lanka says Kunjilaiyapodi is just one of hundreds of war widows and Tsunami victims they've helped.
"We started with our work immediately after the Tsunami. Our first priority was to provide medical and Psychological care, and then later we started the micro credit schemes."
The people of Kalmunai were first encouraged to save a small sum and then they were offered vocational training and small loans to help them start small businesses. More than 750 families of Kalmunai have successfully set up small businesses like poultry farming, Homemade foods, a tailor shop, beauty saloon and saree designing.
Kunjilaiyapodi has made herself a new life. Though this can never make up for what she's been through, it's at least brought her out of the refugee tents, and given her financial independence.

One of the suspects in the shooting death of a St. Petersburg veteran is in custody.
Police arrested Shirune Green on Wednesday night on a charge of 1st degree murder in connection with the carjacking and fatal shooting of Floyd Lassiter.
Investigators say Green and at least one other person were trying to burglarize Lassiter's car on May 10th. When Lassiter tried to intervene, he was shot multiple times and died at the hospital.
On Wednesday, detectives got a tip that Green was hiding in an apartment at the Pinellas Point Apartment Complex, 2125 62nd Place South, St. Petersburg.
Detectives went to apartment 19, where a woman let them in. A K-9 unit found Green hiding in a closet, under a pile of dirty laundry.
Officials say he refused to surrender, and was bitten on the arm by the K-9 dog.
Green was taken to a local hospital for treatment of the dog bite. Detectives discovered he was suffered from an untreated gunshot wound, possibly as a result of the gunfire during his struggle with Lassiter.
St. Petersburg Police say Green will remain in the hospital under guard.
Detectives are still interviewing the female whose apartment Green was found hiding to determine her complicity in the efforts to hide him. No charges have been filed against her at this time.
The second suspect believed to be involved with Green at the time of the homicide has not yet been identified and remains at large.
Information from the St. Petersburg Police Department was used for this report.

A Pennsylvania school district has apologized and made significant changes to a high school marching band's halftime show that commemorated the Russian Revolution with red flags, military-style outfits and giant hammers and sickles.
The New Oxford High School Marching band's show will no longer be called "St. Petersburg: 1917″ and the performance will no longer include the hammers and sickles, according to a statement from Rebecca Harbaugh, the superintendent for the Conewago Valley School District.
Harbaugh acknowledged that "many people have expressed concerns about the show."
"We are taking steps to address many of the concerns expressed to us," she said. "This is a learning opportunity for not only our students who have learned about the Revolution and its tragic consequences but it also a learnign opportunity for us as teachers and administrators."
The performance will now be called, "The Music of Shostakovich" and the hammer and sickle have been replaced with traditional Color Guard band equipment.
The controversy started when an unidentified parent became upset after watching the performance.
"There is no reason for Americans to celebrate the Russian revolution," the parents said. "I am sure the millions who died under Communism would not see the joy of celebrating the Russian revolution by a school 10 miles from Gettysburg."
"It was Glee meets the Russian Revolution," he told Fox News. "I'm not kidding you. They had giant hammers and sickles and they were waving them around."
"Who thought this was a good idea?"
Paul Kengor, the executive director for the Center for Vision & Values at Pennsylvania's Grove City College, thought the performance was initially a joke.
"This is surreal," he told Fox News. "This is like something out of the Twilight Zone – but it's even stranger than that."
Kengor said even if the school was not celebrating the revolution "they seem to be commemorating this to some degree."
"The Bolshevik Revolution launched a global Communist revolution that from 1917 through the 1990s was responsible for the deaths of over a hundred million people," he said. "What the Russian revolution unleashed was a nightmare – a historical human catastrophe. This is something that should be condemned and not in any way commemorated or laughed at."

Hazmat crews had to handle an accident along I-29 when a tractor-trailer spilled some of the liquid fertilizer it was hauling.
Woodbury County deputies say, around 2:30p.m. Tuesday, the semi was leaving the Port Neal complex, and turning onto the northbound on-ramp of I-29.
Authorities say the driver took the corner too fast, and the rig rolled.
The wreck caused some of the liquid fertilizer to spill and authorities to rush to clean it up.
"Some of the product has spilled into the ditch but it is not caustic or poisonous. It has not gotten into the water ways," said Sgt. Doug Boetger, Woodbury County Sheriff's Department.
The driver of the rig was cited for failure to maintain control of his vehicle. The ramp remained closed for several hours.

Papers: One short paper is required. For this paper assignment students will review a journal article that describes a spatial analysis method from one of the topic areas covered by the course (e.g point patterns, continuous data, area data, or sampling). Papers should be approximately 3 pages in length. They are due December 3.
There will be a take home midterm exam distributed on October 24 and due October 29.
Students must complete a final project using analysis techniques learned in the course of the class. There are two options for the final project:
- implement of a spatial analysis technique, or
- carry out spatial analysis on a data set of your choice. For the first option, any programming or scripting language can be used to code an analysis method. For the second option, the objective will be to select a data set of your choice, use exploratory techniques to examine the data, and develop a hypothesis or set of hypotheses concerning the data and test these using techniques discussed in class. Any software of your choice can be used to perform the analysis. Many spatial data sets are now available on the web but they can take some work to prepare for analysis. You should not leave planning for this project until the eleventh hour. A one-page project description of what you propose to do will be presented in class on November 5. Final presentations of projects will be scheduled during final exam week.

Source: bought it new
Price Paid: pro rated $64
This is an amazing shoe! For the price you can't beat it with a stick. Comfortable, aggressive, breathable, and sticky, what else can you ask for.
- Price
- Durability
- Aggressive
- Fit
- Down turn can vary between orders
- velcro straps can be long on some feet sizes
The fit of the Mad Rock Demons is customizable by the three velcro strap system. When first purchased they are tight like most rock climbing shoe but these don't stretch out as much as some aggressive climbing shoes do. The aggressive down turned shoe fits most arch types but I'd be weary if I had a flat foot.
Personally, I have a skinny foot but knowing a few friends that have the same shoe who have medium to large feet, we have all agreed that the fit molds to your foot. When it come to comfort, it seems all climbing shoes are stiff when first out of the package, but the Mad Rock Demons only took a couple good days of climbing to break in. With an added benefit of no pressure points, chaffing, or tightness around the ankle, this shoe is easy to break in.
The rubber is amazing! Sticky, clean, soft enough to dig in on the tiniest crystal but tough enough to last, including a heel cap with specific ridges for heel hooks, the Mad Rock Demons are top notch. They do have specifically designed ridges on the top toe cap for toe hooks but I have noticed some hindrances on specific problems.
I have been climbing in the Demons for four months now and have little complaints. I will be very specific in my complaints.
- Inconsistent in toe aggressiveness. Ee. one friend to two shoes with one being very aggressive and the other aggressive nut different from the other.
- Got a couple of gashes while loosing an edge on granite.
- Top toe cap ridges can impede some toe hooks.
i love shoes that are soft and not down turned at…
Price Paid: $100
i love shoes that are soft and not down turned at all. then this version of the demon comes out and destroys my world! at first glance i was already forming opinions about it. "another aggressive shoe that will just sit in my bag and only be used 1 or 2 times and then put back in the bag till the next climbing trip."
when i slid them on and i heard the suction cup sound when my heel slid into place.. in my head all i hear is "crap, i'm going to like them"
first off the rubber is slightly softer then the first version of the demon. the power upper combined with the sole of the shoe forces your toes in optimal position. no more are the days of your toes curling up into a little ball at the front of your foot causing agonizing pain when you step on small or large feet.
the velcro straps keep your foot firmly in place and your foot doesn't shift around.
the heel its pretty nice. it may be different for you but when my heel locked in place it didn't move at all. so far the heel hasn't begun to peel off my foot while climbing in pulling myself in with heel hooks.

Fine Art skills are esstential for a well-rounded education; whether, it's drawing, singing, playing an instrument or other forms of self-expression. The human brain flourishes with challenges that are art related.
Howell Middle school has an art teacher who has brought out artistic skills of her students. Thank you, Ms. Sanchez.
When budgets get cut many times the fine art program is the first to get the whittling down. So, as this article shows, an art student can further her education because of a skill that is developed in middle school.
When a student has accomplished a positive goal, her self-esteem is fortified against life's challenges.June 27, 2010 at 10:34 a.m.

Hair loss is one of the major problems that most people suffer from. It is not that only men who experience hair loss, even women do. The only difference lies in the way both the genders perceive the problem of hair loss. Men generally consider hair loss as a factor responsible for ageing and with women hair loss is the matter of losing their pride. Women generally associate hair with beauty and no woman wants to look old or for that matter bald.
Reasons for hair loss:
After months of warring with various products, we surely must have sat down and researched about the causes of hair loss. Baldness would be the last thing on any lady's mind, hence every woman wants to get the best in treatment and procedure to maintain their beautiful mane. Hair loss occurs due to various reasons that vary from nutrition deficiency to hereditary factors. Besides these factors, hair loss can also be result of stress, alopecia treatment, improper diet as well as scalp disorders.
[ Read: Eat Away Your hair loss Problems ]
Unlike the common ailments like dandruff, stress and dermatitis, there is another reason for huge amounts of hair loss. This is called Female Pattern Hair Loss ( FPHL ).
Pattern hair loss occurs due to certain hormonal changes in our bodies. We all know that our body contains a hormone called testosterone. Testosterone quantity is more in males than in females, but we have it too. Due to certain genetics and certain physical changes, the testosterone gets converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which is the primary cause of hair loss.
DHT can be formed in our body due to a number of reasons. A few of the reasons are
- Pregnancy
- Frequent exercise ( heavy exercise )
- Aging
- Stress and overwork
DHT is the root cause (literally) of all our hair loss problems. DHT clogs the hair roots thereby preventing blood supply reaching the roots. When the hair root (also known as the hair follicle ) does not get sufficient oxygen through the blood supply to the root, the root starts dying. As a hair root dies, the hair does not have a support in the scalp and therefore it falls off.
When a large amount of DHT is formed in our body, we can see a large amount of hair loss. Before a hair root completely dies, the lack of blood supply causes it to have a lesser growth rate. This means that the hair follicle becomes dormant. A dormant hair follicle can again be stimulated to grow hair in case we can eliminate the problem of the DHT in our bodies.
Hair loss is also a natural process. Every strand of hair on your scalp goes through three phases, the growth stage, transitional stage and the resting stage. Every hair at the resting stage falls out and this cycle continues all throughout your life. However, with passing time some people shed hair or experience thinning of hair and gradually become bald. Balding is not as a result of shedding of hair, it is because hair doesn't grow back.
Today, technology has created various treatments that can help you achieve normal looking hair even after balding. The Low Level Laser Light Therapy (LLLT) is one such therapy that incorporates Laser light to the hair roots stimulating regrowth of hair.
Laser Therapy for Hair Loss – What is it?
Laser Hair Therapy also referred as LLLT is a non-surgical treatment for thinning hair, Hair Loss, as well as other scalp problems. It is a medically tested procedure and is proven to be safe and effective. The procedure involves use of a device containing therapeutic low light lasers. The Laser hair therapy functions similar to the photo biotherapy procedure.
How Does Laser for Hair Loss Work?
In the LLLT procedure Laser light is used on your scalp and the cells in the scalp absorb these rays and repair themselves. The Laser light has the potential to penetrate deep inside the scalp tissues, thereby stimulating blood circulation, metabolism of the cells as well as protein synthesizes. Laser Hair Therapy's cellular and sub-cellular activity assists in breaking down the collection of DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) thus preventing Hair Loss. Using Laser therapy on a regular basis will help to strengthen and regenerate hair roots. This slows down the resting phase your hair follicles and quickens the growth of new hair.
Once dead, nothing can be done to restore hair roots. Hence it is necessary to get it treated as soon as you realize that you are suffering from male or female pattern baldness. Therapeutic pure red light used in laser therapy stimulates the supply of blood to the hair follicles thus escalating the number of red blood cells delivering oxygen and nutrients to the scalp. The treatment clears debris from the hair shafts resulting in healthier growth of new hair.
Results of Laser Hair Growth:
According to a few researches conducted in some European countries, patients who underwent laser hair therapy experienced decrease in hair loss and increase in hair growth. About 85% of the patients said that their hair loss has reduced and about 60% of the patients said that they started getting new hair growth.
Most of the patients who underwent this hair loss laser treatment said that their existing hair was getting stronger and thicker. The laser hair loss treatment is approved by the FDA, is painless and has no known side effects of the treatment. Careful research is advised before going for a laser hair loss treatment. But with the proper therapy, we can see a bounce in our hair.
Benefits of Laser Hair Therapy
Laser therapy not only helps to regrow hair, but also offers immense other benefits, which include:
- 54% rise in supply of blood to the scalp after one sitting
- Light is delivered directly from varied laser positions to ensure proper dosage
- Arouses hair follicle
- Impedes Hair Loss
- Leads to growth of soft, shiny, fuller and easily manageable hair
- Improves and repairs the quality of hair shaft quality
- Offers relief from irritation in scalp
- Increases the elasticity and strength of hair
- Also helps to repair the damage caused by coloring, straightening and perming
After getting a Laser Therapy for hair loss, it is essential to maintain and take proper care of your hair to have long lasting results. You also need to have a healthy protein rich diet that promotes hair growth alongside these treatments and medicines.

CIA Played a Leading Role in Warrantless Surveillance
Friday, July 10, 2009 at 2:50 pm
What do I mean when I say that the inspectors general report on warrantless surveillance shows a larger role for CIA in the post-9/11 surveillance efforts than has been previously disclosed? According to the report, CIA would prepare a threat briefing for President Bush justifying the need for such surveillance. Then-CIA Director George Tenet's chief of staff was in charge of compiling such a report:
According to the former DCI [Director of Central Intelligence] Chief of Staff, he directed CIA terrorism analysts to prepare objective appraisals of the current terrorist threat, focusing primarily on threats to the U.S. homeland, and to document those appraisals in a memorandum. Initially, the analysts who prepared the threat assessments were not read into the PSP [President's Surveillance Program] and did not know how the threat assessments would be used. …
After the terrorism analysts completed their portion of the memoranda, the DCI Chief of Staff added a paragraph at the end of the memoranda stating that the individuals and organizations involved in global terrorism (and discussed in the memoranda) possessed the capability and intention to undertake further terrorist attacks within the United States. The DCI Chief of Staff recalled that the paragraph was provided to him by a senior White House official. The paragraph included the DCI's recommendation to the President that he authorize the NSA to conduct surveillance activities under the PSP.
Then the agency lawyers would vet the assessment to determine whether there was "a compelling case for reauthorization of the" surveillance. Tenet or his deputy, John McLaughlin, would sign it. Then the Department of Justice lawyers would get involved. By 2005, owing to bureaucratic changes, the responsibility for approving this threat assessment every 45 days passed to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the responsibility for drafting it went to the National Counterterrorism Center
By the way, White House counterterrorism czar John Brennan was indeed Tenet's chief of staff in 2001, but he had moved on before 9/11, becoming deputy executive director in spring 2001. John Moseman was Tenet's chief of staff on 9/11 and afterwards.

I am not sure that this is necessarily out of bounds. It indicates only two things:
1) Prior to the standup of the ODNI, it would have been a *good* thing for the DCI (now DCIA) to have the reins, as it would mean that DOD/NSA/DIA, FBI and NCIX were working in coordination with the CIA — fusing intelligence, not doing things their way. DCI should properly have been the person briefing the President on this.
2) It does not indicate to me that CIA was *operating* beyond its mandate. That might have been, but nothing in this quote per se suggests it. What it does suggest is that the CIA had the best *analytical* dossiers on persons of interest.

DRAM market: PC OEMs ink long-term deal to ensure stable supply
By From the Web - Source: Tom's Hardware | 0 comment
Although spot prices of DRAM did not improve much during the week of November 22-28, pricing is remaining firm in the contract market with some PC OEMs starting to ink long-term supply deals to ensure a stable supply through the first quarter of 2007, according to DRAMeXchange. Some Korean-made DDR chips that did not meet environmental-related regulations circulated in the spot market last week, resulting in a price drop.

Rubi vs Provincial Board
Political Law – Delegation of Powers
Rubi and various other Manguianes in the province of Mindoro were ordered by the provincial governor of Mindoro to remove their residence from their native habitat and to established themselves on a reservation at Tigbao in the province of Mindoro and to remain there, or be punished by imprisonment if they escaped. Manguianes had been ordered to live in a reservation made to that end and for purposes of cultivation under certain plans. The Manguianes are a Non-Christian tribe with a very low culture. These reservations, as appears from the resolution of the Provincial Board, extends over an area of 800 hectares of land, which is approximately 2000 acres, on which about 300 Manguianes are confined. One of the Manguianes, Dabalos, escaped from the reservation and was taken in hand by the provincial sheriff and placed in prison at Calapan, solely because he escaped from the reservation. An application for habeas corpus was made on behalf of Rubi and other Manguianes of the province, alleging that by virtue of the resolution of the provincial board of Mindoro creating the reservation, they had been illegally deprived of their liberty. In this case the validity of section 2145 of the Administrative Code, reading: "With the prior approval of the Department Head, the provincial governor of any province in which non-Christian inhabitants are found is authorized, when such a course is deemed necessary in the interest of law and order, to direct such inhabitants to take up their habitation on sites on unoccupied public lands to be selected by him and approved by the provincial board," was challenged.
ISSUE: Whether or not the said law is constitutional.
HELD: By a vote of five to four, the Supreme Court sustained the constitutionality of this section of the Administrative Code. Among other things, it was held that the term "non-Christian" should not be given a literal meaning or a religious signification, but that it was intended to relate to degrees of civilization. The term "non-Christian" it was said, refers not to religious belief, but in a way to geographical area, and more directly to natives of the Philippine Islands of a low grade of civilization. On the other hand, none of the provisions of the Philippine Organic Law could have had the effect of denying to the Government of the Philippine Islands, acting through its Legislature, the right to exercise that most essential, insistent, and illimitable of powers, the sovereign police power, in the promotion of the general welfare and the public interest. when to advance the public welfare, the law was found to be a legitimate exertion of the police power, And it is unnecessary to add that the prompt registration of titles to land in the Philippines constitutes an advancement of the public interests, for, besides promoting peace and good order among landowners in particular and the people in general, it helps increase the industries of the country, and makes for the development of the natural resources, with the consequent progress of the general prosperity. And these ends are pursued in a special manner by the State through the exercise of its police power. The Supreme Court held that the resolution of the provincial board of Mindoro was neither discriminatory nor class legislation, and stated among other things: ". . . one cannot hold that the liberty of the citizen is unduly interfered with when the degree of civilization of the Manguianes is considered. They are restrained for their own good and the general good of the Philippines. Nor can one say that due process of law has not been followed. To go back to our definition of due process of law and equal protection of the laws, there exists a law; the law seems to be reasonable; it is enforced according to the regular methods of procedure prescribed; and it applies alike to all of a class."

I had to miss the game and was expecting to watch it on espn3 [it's not blacked out here] when I got home last night. But it's one of the few that's not on espn3 replay.
Last year I would watch the replays on espn3 or secdigitalnetwork.com. But dont remember trying a game that was on espn3 but also PPV'd.
What's the best (or possible) way to watch the replay? Will it be on secdigitalnetwork.com, espn3, a torrent download?

LA CROSSE, Wisconsin (WXOW) - A child who survived the Holocaust speaks next month at Viterbo University.
Sam Harris appears in the Viterbo University Fine Arts Center Main Theater April 11 at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
His story begins in 1939 when Germany invaded his native Poland. Harris, born Szlamek Rzeznik, and his family were forced into a ghetto in hometown of Deblin.
In 1942, as his family was on the way to deportation when his father pushed him out of line and told him to run and hide. He'd never saw any of them again.
He survived by hiding when the Germans turned the Deblin ghetto into a concentration camp, then another forced move to another camp later in the war. He was freed by the Russian in 1945.
Harris was eventually brought to the United States, where he was adopted in 1948.
The presentation by Harris is in conjunction with the university's annual Teaching the Holocaust Workshop for educators and part of the D.B. Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership Spring Lecture Series.

Plans for bridge at fatal crossing to be discussed later
Councillors will meet Network Rail officials later to discuss plans for a bridge at a rail and tram crossing which has claimed the lives of three people in the last four years.
Lindsey Inger, who was 13, died after being hit by a tram on the pedestrian level crossing in Hucknall.
Today's meeting will discuss plans - but a decision won't be made until a later date.
