Hundreds of families will get a special surprise this holiday season thanks to a community-wide initiative.
Trinity Health raised funds to purchase hundreds of turkeys for families in the area.
Those turkeys will be included in the Horn of Plenty's 30th annual event of giving.
Kelli Volk was at the site today where there were plenty of holiday gifts to go around.
It's the season of giving...the Horn of Plenty is helping to provide plentiful holiday cheer to families in the area.
A program developed thirty years ago by KHRT is still going strong--keeping the tradition of giving alive.
(Roy Leavitt, Horn of Plenty Manager)"The program was developed to help out families who are going to be in need during the Christmas season."
The boxes are packed full with food and toys.
All of the items are donated to the Horn of Plenty.
Volunteers then pack the boxes according to the size of the family so that each household receives enough for food 1-2 weeks.
(Roy Leavitt, Horn of Plenty Manager)"The first number actually means how many people are in the family. So this one right here. A family of 5 will get an average of three full boxes of food, plus each child in the family will get three new toys per child. And so, you can see down here there's 7 families, 5 families, 4, and it's just packed appropriately per family."
The program also ensures over 600 children will have something special to unwrap this season.
(Roy Leavitt, Horn of Plenty Manager)Each year, we've been trying to give them 2-3 brand new toys as part of the program. This year we've been able to provide 3 toys for every child in the horn of plenty and this year we're looking at about 6...a little over 600 children in the horn of plenty."
The goal is to reach families across a vast area.
The Horn of Plenty's route for giving stretches for miles.
(Roy Leavitt, Horn of Plenty Manager)"We try to cover about a 100 mile radius around Minot.
The Horn of Plenty is rooted in reaching out to others.
A helping hand must be involved behind the scenes in order for the families to receive the baskets.
(Roy Leavitt, Horn of Plenty Manager)"The unique part about horn of plenty is you can't actually submit your own name. The majority of the people receiving help from the horn of plenty are because someone in the community saw their need.
After the community recognizes the need, the Horn of Plenty takes care of the rest--making the holidays plentiful with hope.
In Minot, Kelli Volk, KX News.
The boxes are either delivered directly to the home or they're delivered to local churches for pickup.

Dear Secret Santa
I have no idea who to thank for the KD-cover issue of ESPN The Magazine that arrived at my house. I have a feeling the culprit has to be from PtR--so few others in my life assign basketball its proper significance, and fewer still understand my Durantula love. That magazine was a lovely thing to find in the mailbox. If you're reading this, thank you. (And did you know he's afraid of dogs because they used to chase him when he was a kid? I think he needs a puppy.)

Be careful what you wish for•BUFORD - A Welsh woman got her wish Saturday when she was arrested at her Cascade Fall Drive home by a Gwinnett County police officer. Helen Kay McCarthy, 39, allegedly called 911 and told an officer who responded that she wanted to be arrested so she could tell her friends in Wales what it was like to be in prison in the United States. The officer told McCarthy she was drunk and not thinking right. He advised her to go upstairs and go to bed, but she wouldn't listen, a police report stated. McCarthy began cursing at the officer and asked, "Why haven't you arrested me yet?" according to the police report. McCarthy was jailed on a disorderly conduct charge. Man charged with carrying gun•NORCROSS - A 23-year-old Stone Mountain man was arrested earlier this month for allegedly firing several gunshots into a Champions Park apartment off Graves Road in Norcross. Jason Quinard Bailey was driving a silver Honda Accord in the area at 10:30 p.m. on July 8 when he was stopped for several traffic violations. An officer noticed a handgun concealed under a T-shirt on the passenger seat and found two small bags of marijuana in the car, according to a police report. Bailey admitted he recently fired the gun "into the air" at Champions Park Apartments because of a dispute he was having with a girl who lived there. Officers went to check on the apartment and found two bullets had entered a window and lodged in an interior wall. Another projectile was found in a bathtub. The residents were not home at the time of the shooting, the police report stated. Bailey was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, second-degree criminal damage to property and possession of less than an ounce of marijuana. Herb shop robbed•SNELLVILLE - Someone robbed the Herb Shop/Wellness Center Wednesday at Kroger Plaza at 4002 U.S. Highway 78. A black man weighing about 190 pounds and standing 5 feet 7 inches tall came into the store at 2 p.m. asking for "golden root," according to a police report. The cashier replied they did not have any. The suspect then revealed a handgun and demanded money. After taking cash from the register, he went into a back office and stole the store owner's wallet, the police report stated. The suspect fled in a white Ford Expedition. - From staff reports

Sandburg collection brings $80,600
By Dan Hartzell Of The Morning Call
August 27, 2002
The University of Illinois secured nearly $17,000 worth of documents to add to its prodigious Carl Sandburg collection Monday at the local auction of a collection of the American poet's late editor. "You can't resist a poet like Carl Sandburg," said Jane Goodman of Allentown, who bought several first-edition manuscripts for her own collection. "He's an American institution." Buying for the University of Illinois, rare books dealer J. Howard Woolmer of Revere, Bucks County, purchased more of the groups or "lots" of manuscripts, letters, first-edition books, photographs and other memorabilia than any other bidder at Tom Hall Auctions in North Whitehall Township, said auctioneer Tom Hall.
Petite Suit Of Armor May Be Joan Of Arc's * Engraving Shows French Heroine In Armor Remarkably Like That Now Stored In A Vault Under A Shop In Paris.
by CRAIG R. WHITNEY, The New York Times
June 29, 1996
Pierre de Souzy, an antiques dealer, bought the suit of armor two and a half years ago from a Parisian collector whose family had owned it for more than 200 years. It was apparently from the 15th century and unusually small -- so small that one day his 14-year-old daughter, Diane, asked if she could try it on. The breastplate, the sleeves, and the helmet fit like Cinderella's slipper, and when Diane, then only 5 feet tall, stood before a mirror, her mother, Mylene, said: "You'd think she was Joan of Arc."
Prosecutor: Missing Money, Debt Led Ex-fire Chief To Kill
by AMINAH FRANKLIN, The Morning Call
July 27, 1994
A $10,000 debt and a 71-year-old woman's accusations about missing money drove Samuel Wilson Landis to murder on March 7, Lehigh County First District Attorney Michael McIntyre said yesterday during a six-hour preliminary hearing. The 46-year-old Telford man is charged in the beating death of long-time family friend Edna Hiestand, who police said confronted Landis the morning she was killed over funds missing from her checking account. The Lower Milford Township woman was found dead March 13 in her 7665 Steinsburg Road home by relatives.
Auctioneer Drums Up Interest

William Doyle's amplified voiced echoed off the aluminum-sided homes around 39 E. Garrison St., daring the spectators gathered before him yesterday to lay claim to the tiny treasure he dangled before them. "I've got five. Who'll gimme 10? Who'll gimme 10? I've got five. I've got 10. Who'll gimme 20? Got 20, gimme 30. Got 30, gimme 40...." "You need a little knowledge about the psychology of selling," said Doyle, an Easton auctioneer, taking a breather. "There's a certain rhythm to keep their interest up."
New Hampshire's Mount Washington Hotel Has A Rich Past
by DENISE FLAIM, Newsday
September 17, 1995
Travelers' mementos are as varied as their destinations, but when it comes to keepsakes, souvenir shot glasses and bumper stickers leave me cold. My passion is antiques, and I've lugged home Victorian cutlery from the Bahamas and Depression glass from Texas. That's why I so anticipated a weekend with my husband at the Mount Washington Hotel & Resort in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Not only is the state a happy hunting ground for antiques mavens, but I relished the thought of staying in a grand Victorian hotel that embodied that era's passion for excess.
The pulchritudinous results of a business partnership
By Kurt Blumenau Of The Morning Call
September 19, 2007
A little store with a great big name is open just off Easton's Centre Square. Actually, you can't fault co-founders Peche Brown and Travis Wesley for saddling their business with such a mouthful: Innovative Arts & Accessories & T.J. Wesley Antiques. That's because the store at 11 N. Third St. is really two businesses in one. Brown, a Jamaican-born artist, sells paintings, handbags, jewelry and other gifts. (Some of her work can be seen online at www.pecheb.com.) And Wesley, an antiques dealer, specializes in vintage furniture and accessories such as vases.

EAPPI Anniversary Sermon: Bishop Munib Younan
"As they came near the village. . . they urged him strongly, saying, "Stay with us." Lk 24:28-29
At the end of Paul's letter to the Romans (15:23-27), he announces his plan to travel to Jerusalem with a delegation from churches in a show of support for the mother church which originally had sent him to carry the Gospel to the regions of the northern Mediterranean. This is a true example of accompaniment. This is a response of Paul's admonition to bear one another's burdens, because all the churches have been on the receiving end of God's gracious gift of his son, Jesus Christ.
The Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme continues this model of mutual support, prayer, and concern begun by St. Paul two millennia ago, when a man from Macedonia appealed to him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."
In 2001, during the second Intifada, the Heads of Churches in Jerusalem in their Easter message urged the worldwide Christian community to take real action and not simply issue more statements of concern. In response, the WCC conceived of the idea of providing a human chain that would become the eyes and the ears, the hands and the legs, of the world-wide church in Palestine.
I wish to acknowledge the contribution of a number of individuals during those early days when we began to envision this program. Ms. SalpyEskedjian of the WCC, Latin Patriarch Michel Sabbah, and also Bishop RiahAbu Assalof the Anglican Church joined with me in brainstorming and dreaming about the possibilities that might emerge. Every step of the way Salpy was careful to sit with the Orthodox Patriarch and all the Heads of Churches, so that every Church was consulted and that we all agreed on all the important details. This would indeed be an ecumenical program. It is also a model of cooperation between the global and the local church. This is the strength of the program: The WCC is responsible for administering the program, but ownership rests in the local churches, among whom accompaniment takes place. Our local reference group includes Jews, Muslims, and Christians, all committed to justice. If we can learn from this model, I believe that we will affect change in this country.
One of our partner churches has adopted a social statement titled "For Peace in God's World." Not only does it provide guidance how we can work to avoid conflict and war, but it teaches us how we can create a culture of peace. Many of our countries train and send soldiers in to parts of the world. We also need to send teams of peacemakers, who foster a dynamic vision of diversity in unity, who promote respect for human rights, who counter and transform attitudes that encourage violence, teaching instead the way of non-violence, who strengthen the will of people to resolve conflicts peacefully. Such an army of peacemakers is what we find in our Ecumenical Accompaniers.
During the Intifada, an American Congresswoman, Lois Capps, was walking along with me in the West Bank when we encountered soldiers driving a military tank in a residential section. She asked me, "What can I do to help you?" I responded, "Tell the Congress to give me the cost of one tank, and I will invest it in schools, day care centers, after-school sports programs for our youth. By this we contribute to the quality of life, as Jesus promised that we can have life, and have it abundant."
As a pilgrimage center, millions of visitors come to Jerusalem and Bethlehem each year. Church delegations arrive on fact-finding trips. Governments send teams to monitor the situation. Yet the situation required something more. What model is provided in the New Testament? The answer was right there in the opening verses of the Gospel of John: "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. . . ." (John 1:14). God did not appoint a committee or send a fact-finding delegation or a group to carry out an evaluation. God sent the Son to live among us. Today the incarnated presence of God comes to us in the form of our brothers and sisters in Christ.
One of the expressions repeated in the Gospel of John is "Come and see!" These were some of the first words spoken by Jesus when he encountered the disciples Andrew and John after leaving John the Baptist and the Jordan River (John 1:39). Yet seeing involved more than just a quick glance or a few photos. The disciples asked for more, "Where are you staying?" And the evangelist reports that they responded by staying with him.
This interchange is repeated later in the words of Philip to Nathaniel (John 1:46) and of the Samaritan Woman to her neighbors in the Samaritan village (John 4:29). Seeing is made complete when the villagers invite Jesus to stay with them. They sit together, eat together, talk together, experience daily life together. This is what comes with that invitation to "Come and see!" They "abide" with Jesus.
At the beginning there was a lot of debate as to what to call these volunteers. Many suggested "monitors" because they would spend much time simply observing. However, "Accompaniers" suggests much more than observing. They are to walk with the local Christians, to live in their midst, "to eat bread together"—panis—as is the Latin root of the term accompany. What a joy it is early every morning when our EAs come out of their house in the poor village of Yanoun, and the women of the village share with them fresh warm bread coming straight out of the common village Taboun oven. And so they become companions in their daily walk.
This is the model of accompaniment, with the classic text coming at the end of Luke's Gospel in the story of the Emmaus disciples who walk together and talk together on the road with the risen Jesus (Luke 24). They listen to each other, empathizing with their concerns,their burdens, their confusions, and the queries that each carries on their hearts. They reflect together on the words of Scripture and their meaning for the present age. They offer words of hope and encouragement. They may not have easy answers or ready solutions. Theirs is a ministry of presence. And so they offer the invitation, "Stay with us!" And when bread is broken, their eyes are opened to really see. In the end, they hurry back to Jerusalem to share with the others their experience.
Note that the name was carefully chosen. It is the Ecumenical Accompaniment Program. But it was important to add the initials P and I. This mission takes place in Palestine and in Israel, not in just one or the other. We thought it was essential to ally with every force working for justice and peace among Palestinians and Israelis alike. Such a program can succeed only when its members see the pain of both peoples and when they desire more than anything for both peoples to live in peace, justice, and reconciliation.
The EAPPI makes an important if not unique contribution because it accompanies and works with both Palestinian and Israeli communities and groups committed to justice, peace, and respect for Human Rights. This presence with both communities incarnates the vision of the Heads of Churches in Jerusalem for a just peace and reconciliation. EAPPI adds an international, ecumenical dimension to our witness as artisans of peace by supporting nonviolence in the struggle for justice over and above the religious and national divide.
The prophetic role of the Church is to give voice where silence seems to prevail. However, the role of the Church to be peacemakers, brokers of justice, bridge builders, and ministers of reconciliation far exceeds our small size. The voice of Middle East Christians has mostly been ignored in this conflict. The news media have not shown much interest in our churches which now represent only 1.7 % of the population. Tourists often treat us as if the Church is a thing of the distant past and our Churches are now empty museums. Some expatriates seem to wear blinders as if we do not exist. Others want to use the Christians as a political commodity.
However, the role of the Churches as peace makers far exceeds our small size. There will be no peace based on justice in this conflict without the local Churches and Christians being part of it.
The Churches see the fears on both sides of the conflict. We seek to address the fears and insecurity of the Israelis and the need for justice and liberation for Palestinians. We believe that the security of Israel depends on freedom and justice for Palestinians and that freedom and justice for Palestinians depends on Israel achieving true security. The future of the Christian community in the Holy Land depends not on war, arms, or occupation, but on peace based on justice and reconciliation based on forgiveness.
People are also asking, "What can we expect from the Arab Awakening?" "Is it being taken over by extremists?" "Does this mean there will be no solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?" There are many who say that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict must wait until the Arab Awakening is resolved. However, I believe that there can be an approach with two parallel tracks. I believe that we must continue the process that has been going on for years, one that accepts a two-state solution, based on the 1967 borders, with a shared Jerusalem, the sharing of resources, and mutual economic cooperation. People ask if I am optimistic or pessimistic. I answer that I am neither. But we must continue to live in hope, moving forward to a solution of peace based on justice. For hope originated from Jerusalem.
Our EAs come to feel the complexity of this situation. Living among the people of this land, they share in their joys, and also in their sorrows. They empathize with their frustrations, but they also come to know their hopes and their dreams. They are not activists or monitors. They have come only to accompany.
Now after ten year years of the EAPPI, with one thousand EAs, each having spent three months in this 24/7 accompaniment program, they offer an important collective voice of advocacy, neither pro-Palestinian, nor pro-Israeli, but pro-truth, pro-justice, pro-peace, pro-reconciliation.
EAs have come from twenty-three countries. By far the greatest numbers of participants have come from European countries and also from North America. We are heartened to see growing participation from the south, countries like Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia, Uruguay, and Paraguay in South America, from Australia and New Zealand, from South Africa and the Philippines. In December, we will have our first accompanier from South Korea. On behalf of all the Churches in Jerusalem, we express our thanks to all churches and agencies who have committed themselves to EAPPI and its vision and who have sent EAs to accompany us.
We have been very impressed with the quality and the creativity of the WCC response to our call for accompaniers. This chain of hope needs strong links from the whole Christian family. Our circle of accompaniers has included some who identify themselves as atheist or agnostic. We have also had accompaniers who are Jewish and Muslims. This adds a powerful dimension to our testimony. This shows that this conflict is not about religion. Rather it is a political conflict. We are faced with war, occupation, and extremism versus peace, justice, and reconciliation. The conflict is not about religion, race, or gender. It is about sharing land and water! We hope that the breadth of accompaniers and that number of churches and countries represented will continue to expand. For we continue to believe that there will not be peace in the Middle East until there is peace in Jerusalem.
The Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Palestine and Israel is a response to the call from the Heads of Churches to stand with us and with the whole Christian community as we struggle to give birth to a just peace. The Human Chain can be seen and heard. We walk with Israelis and Palestinians. We give thanks to God for the EAPPI. Through the WCC we know that our hands are linked with those around the world who are working for the world God wants—a human chain for justice, peace, truth, and reconciliation.
It is my dream that the day will come that all Palestinians see the image of God in Israelis, and Israelis see the image of God in Palestinians, and both accept each other's humanity. Only then, they both can mutually recognize each other's human, civil, national, political, and religious rights. Only then, the Holy Land will become a promised land of milk and honey for both Israelis and Palestinians. I hope that the world can accompany us in this vision. Come and See. Come and see this land. Come and see the living stones. Come and see how peace is possible in Jerusalem!
May the peace which passes all understanding keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Introducing a military tactical procedure to disaster preparedness: MUSTERING!By joeysalceda On May 24, 2011 No Comments
Tomorrow at 9am (May 25), the RDRRMC/OCD V will "muster" all possible assets of the AFP, PNP and PCG at Camp Ola in Albay Province for a more rational assignment and rapid deployment to well-targeted vulnerable areas before Chedeng could hit Bicol by 11am Wed.
"Mustering of troops" is invariably a preparation to wage war and do battle. While essentially it is like a "prepositioning of assets", "mustering" moves the assets much closer to the theater of operations to give support more to the evacuation efforts by LGUs than rescue operations. This avoids the possible problems that could arise and obstruct their movement due to heavy floods (army trucks can only safely navigate at most 5 feet of floods) or the more difficult landslides or road settlements that would require clearing, thus losing precious time that may save one more life and even require additional equipment (backhoe orClick here to continue reading

Phivolcs pronounced "elevated risks" from Mayon's recent volcanic activities – slight inflation of slopes or edifice, continuous crater glow and low frequency earthquakes which are associated with rising magma.
Given the increased probability of Alert Level being raise to Alert Level 2, Albay PDRRMC Chairman, Governor Joey Salceda, reiterated the following countermeasures: (1) No human activities within the 6-km-radius permanent danger zone. (2) No orchid collection in the prohibited zone. (3) No mountain climbing within the prohibited zone. (4) Secure prior clearance from PDRRMC through APSEMO for tourism activities near the proximity of the 6-km radius PDZ. (5) Avoidance of the critical channels such as: Basud, Mabinit, Bonga , Buyuan-Padang , Mi-isi, Anoling, San Vicente and Buang channels.
Tourists are attracted to Mayon not only for its near-perfect cone but are actually more beguiled by its eruptions. Thus, Governor Salceda appealed to local travel operators and tour guides to cooperate with theClick here to continue reading

Some observations on the issues:
The housing loan portfolio of GSIS is only P11bn – they reported P40bn net income in 2010 and their total investible funds are almost P500bn. And these are made mainly to members – they can be deducted from their terminal benefits.
GSIS offers the cheapest housing loans in the market unlike Pagibig na may 12% pa. And this is for their members –
Albay Joins Earth HourBy joeysalceda On March 25, 2011 No Comments
LEGAZPI CITY, Philippines—Albay Governor Joey Salceda on Friday directed all local government officials and employees in the province to join the nationwide observance of Earth Hour on Saturday at 8:30 p.m.
Thousands of households and business establishments across the province are expected to turn off their lights.
During the power shutoff, a candle-lighting ceremony would be held at the Bicol University Oval, wherein the word MAYON—Albay's emblem and referring to the iconic volcano—will be formed by thousands of participants with lit candles.
Salceda said an aerial view of the lighted candles would highlight Albay's participation in the international observance of Earth Hour.
He said support for Earth Hour is in line with Albay Action on Climate Change (A2C2) and Ten Commandments for Sustainable Development program.
Albay's Center for Initiatives and Research on Climate Adaptation executive director Manuel Rangasa was tasked to coordinate all efforts for the event.
Earth Hour was conceived by World Wildlife Fund inClick here to continue reading
We're a Disaster Waiting to HappenBy joeysalceda On March 21, 2011 No Comments
Thanks Boo Chanco for the kind words on Albayanos.
Here's his article:
Reading those disaster readiness reports over the past few days has led me to think that we are a disaster waiting to happen. No, make that a disaster that is already happening. And it all brings us back to the need for good governance at all levels of government and an equally urgent need for civic consciousness that would put public safety above extra profits for the private business sector.
Among the most basic of recommendations in those studies is a strict implementation of the building code that takes into account the various fault lines that could trigger devastating earthquakes. While it is true that we now have a tough building code, it is safe to assume that its implementation is pretty spotty.
One sample recommendation is simple enough: Curb corruption in building construction and inspection. This means curbing corruption in theClick here to continue reading

HES 1 and KIN 1
Loved her! Had her for both Health and Nutrition. As long as you're going to class and paying attention, you'll receive a good grade. Her tests are fairly easy and she is clear about every assignment. I definitely recommend her
Kin4 37441
She's ok but you have to pay attention and read the Text book , you get easily lost but over all the class does get very detailed in the subject .
This is college people, the professors are'nt here to be your friend. If you do the work and pay attention you will get a good grade. She is a straight forward teacher.
She was very rude and entirely unhelpful. She gave us study guides that had very little to do with the test, and locked out tardy students. She angers easily, and puts down what she considers stupid questions. I probably could have passed this class, if I could get past the fact that her terrible attitude made me avoid going to class.
She is an ok professor. Rude when speaking to her in person. Pretty easy class if you keep up with the small amount of homework she assigns. Tests are straight forward from the notes and study guides.
Since she has a prior class she is always upset. She isnt approachable. If you ask a question she seems irritable. Not humble what so ever.
She lectures every class and assigns online homework worksheets every few weeks. As long as you sit in front so you can hear, take good notes, and do the homework, you'll get an A. Tests are long but straight off the notes. Her lectures are straight to the point and clear, you just have to listen. Homework is usually easy, just time consuming.
Her class is straight and to the point, all about getting as many points as you can. Homework is EASY JUST DO IT! I could not believe people who didn't get 100%. Tests are ok as long as you read, take thorough notes, and listen to her clues. No extra credit but you should not need it. She is not mean just sick of students "bs".
Be on time or don't show up. She can get made easily. It would seem you could get by if attended each class and took notes but that is wrong. READ the book. Oh, if she offers extra credit, doing the assignment doesn't mean you'll get extra credit.
Be on time or be locked out. I did average on tests, even failing one pretty badly, and passed with a B by doing all my homework. So, complete the homework. She is interesting enough to keep my attention and made things very clear in her presentations. Be prepaired to take notes, and dont skimp on them. Use the book to study, it helps.
She will lock you out if you are not on time. She doesn't seem interested in helping you out after class. She is always running out the door. But she doesn give you study guides and gives you a fair time for homework. Overall she is just Ok, nothing more. Ps. make sure you attend class and bring a laptop, because you will writting A LOT.
She tells you if you get 25s on all the homework & gets c's on the test you will get a B which is a lie because i got a C she kicked me out for talking one time too be honest she was kinda rude & sarcastic but hey you have been warned ha
SHe is very clear in what she expects from her students! There were 4 homework assignments which were easy if you listened to her and she gave opportunity for EC! She provided a study guide for each exam and if you went through it with your notes you could easily get a B or higher! Thing is you have to go to class and be respectful!
If she didn't like you she showed it by ignoring you if you raised your hand to speak. and if you did speak she would immediately cut you off letting you know she was not going to acknowledge you.
she had great lectures and los of chances for extra credit.
mS. gENIAN could be really rude at times.. and i wouldnt bother getting a class with her again!
Easy class. She changes her class every semester, but we had weekly quizzes, study guides, in-class assignments, group projects, and presentations. She rarely went the full class session. Attendance and reading mandatory.
She isn't the nicest teacher I've met. There is a lot of busy work in this class. There are weekly quizzes and homework assignments. There are also 3 projects, and two of them are oral. She does offer extra credit, but you cannot miss a quiz or a homework assignment in order to be able to do the extra credit. Attendance in mandatory.

Tos vs new movie discussion

Well, like I had said in a different thread, when it comes to canon, even in the movies there were issues. One in particular I noticed when watching ST IV and ST V back to back. Obviously they don't use money in the 23rd century as pointed out by Kirk to Catherine Hick's character at the pizza joint and him having to pawn his glasses. However, when watching ST V during a scene in Paradise City there is a TV playing a commercial in the background advertising I think it was new homes and saying if you can get a federation loan. So if there is no money...why need a loan? Things like this will happen, and it's such a large following, and after40 yrs and so many shows and movies and books, I know Abrams just picked and chose from books and his own ideas more than anything b/c he did mention Orci and the writing team had 2 favorite books they took info out of.

ukp wire story:
In a surprise announcement by the Vatican today, the Pope called University of Kentucky President Lee Todd and requested that he send Head Coach John Calipari to the Vatican immediately. The Pope appealed to President Todd that if John Calipari could raise 1 million in Kentucky in one afternoon, he could possibly erase all negativity in the world, and usher in a new era of peace and prosperity. The Pope also requested that Calipari bring his players along for an impromptu game of pickup basketball so that the group would have something to do in the afternoon after they solve all the world's problems. The Cats will be using their standard starting lineup, while the Pope has called in some help for the Vatican in the game. Their starting 5 will include, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and Jerry West, all of whom will have their physical status, (or lack thereof) reconstituted to their playing days. As of this morning the oddsmakers have the Cats favored by 4.
Post game activities include a walking on water lesson by John Wall, Patrick Patterson will hold a lecture on why it is better to be a Wildcat than to be Pope, and Demarcus Cousins will regale the crowd with stories of how he outrebounded Russell and Chamberlain, while out trash talking Jordan at the same time. Coach Cal will give a "Bounce Back" seminar to the Pope and all guests that would like to attend. When asked about whether or not he was really approached about becoming the next Pope, Calipari was quoted as saying, "Who me, I'm only 10-8, who would want me as Pope?"
On a more serious note.....is there ANYTHING that this guy cannot do?? To raise that much money on a Sunday afternoon like you are having dinner with the family at home is simply amazing. The man not only continues to amaze me, he did 2 or 3 interviews while the Telethon was going on, where all he could talk about was how much everything he gave to the world was coming back to him 10-fold. If anyone is in doubt about just how much we needed someone like Cal at UK, all they have to do is look at that one act to know he is indeed exactly what we needed.......and then some.

So I just read the Surface review.
Just read Josh's review ironically he scored it at 7.0. (same score as the lumia 900). I didn't expect much more from Josh, but I will say it was more or a referendum on RT than it was on the surface. I'm confident the surface pro will score much higher. That being said; I can't wait to get mine on Friday. (that's because even though the verge gave the lumia 900 a 7, to me it's still light years ahead of anything else out there)

EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) – "The Bearded Bandit" has reportedly struck again in the state of Rhode Island.
Images: FBI offers reward for capture of "Bearded Bandit"
Police believe the male suspect dubbed "The Bearded Bandit" held up a Pawtucket Credit Union on Newport Avenue in East Providence around 4 p.m. Tuesday, reports The Providence Journal.
Detective Capt. Richard Frazier told the newspaper that based on surveillance videos the police believe the man reportedly responsible for Tuesday's heist is the same man wanted for robbing at least six other banks in Rhode Island and one bank in southeastern Massachusetts.
The bank robberies occurred on February 23 in Seekonk, Mass., April 16 in Cranston, R.I., May 7 in Warwick, R.I., June 27 in North Providence, R.I., July 26 in Barrington, R.I., and August 25 in North Pawtucket, R.I. The first robbery occurred in February 2012.
Massachusetts State Police say the robberies occurred approximately 30 days apart and usually took place between 2 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.
The FBI is offering a reward for his capture.

Papanikolaou on the move
Blazers followed him closely throughout the season, but at this point it seems that "Pap" in not on the immediate plans of Neil Olshey. Portland (besides starter Nicolas Batum) also has another talented European forward with Spaniard Victor Claver and is no need to "overload" the small forward position. In fact Olshey didn't travel in London, where only Blazers' scout Jason Filipi was present. So there is a strong chance that the Blazers will trade his rights and many teams has shown interest. Spurs and Mavericks are among them, as well as the Knicks who drafted Papanikolaou on No48 of last year's draft. Knicks GM Glen Grunwald visited London for a day, just to watch him on the semifinal against CSKA!

Georgia Hayne, 4, reads a book in the Clunes Book Festival's Narnia chair. Photo: Pat Scala
THERE was hardly a murmur on the main street of Clunes yesterday, but behind the heritage streetscape of the old gold town the townsfolk are celebrating.
Clunes has been put on the world map with recognition as the southern hemisphere's first international book town.
The designation has been given to only 15 towns in the world, among them Hay-on-Wye in Wales and Wigtown in Scotland.
The definition of a book town is a small rural village in which second-hand and antiquarian bookshops are concentrated.
''This gives Victoria an exciting new tourism drawcard and is expected to provide a significant cultural and economic boost for the region,'' the Premier and Minister for the Arts, Ted Baillieu, said yesterday when he announced the declaration by the International Organisation of Booktowns.
Clunes first turned to books in 2007 with a book festival that has become an annual event attended by 15,000 people.
Clunes has been declared an official book town. Photo: Pat Scala
''A small group of us got together because we were concerned about our town's survival,'' one of the organisers Tim Hayes said yesterday. ''We had to work out how to become a sustainable community. It was a ghost town here. There were lots of empty shops and you could fire a cannon down the street on a Sunday afternoon and not hit anyone. It was a town in decline.''
The first festival attracted about 6000 people, way beyond the town's expectations.
''The town ran out of everything - electricity, food, money,'' another of the organisers, Tess Brady, said. ''We then set about to convince people to set up bookshops here.''
Leanne Camp is owner of The Gold and Relics Book Store. Photo: Pat Scala
Clunes now has seven bookshops and three online book traders have moved into the area. Five other shops also stock books, such as the greengrocer, who has cook books.
Graeme Johnstone, another volunteer, said: ''We don't know the full ramifications of what this designation will mean. But the spinoff will be that the cafes, accommodation and other services that go with visitation will benefit. We expect overseas visitors because we are now on the international list of book towns.''
Ms Brady said there had already been tangible benefits from the embrace of books.

''There's a bigger demand for real estate and people are coming to live here. They are looking for a tree change and realise it's not redneck and the prices are not exorbitant. A second real estate agent is about to open up in town,'' she said.
This year's festival is on May 5-6. It will include old-world street entertainment such as Punch-and-Judy shows and a hay bale maze. There will be about 60 visiting book traders.
The festival organisers are also creating a Children's Booktown at the library. ''We are creating the world on Narnia in there and to enter people will have to walk through a wardrobe. Inside, it will be full of pine trees and an extraordinary storytelling chair that has a bit of scary in it and a bit of magic,'' Ms Brady said.

The Two Fatal Flaws of a Cap-less Climate Bill
Monday, March 01, 2010 at 2:26 pm
The tripartisan Kerry-Graham-Lieberman Senate climate squad made a splash this weekend with its decision to drop cap-and-trade from its (eventual) legislative proposal, instead imposing carbon controls on various polluting sectors of the economy. As Brad Plumer points out, this isn't necessarily bad news for environmental advocates; treating the country as a monolithic source of pollution certainly overlooks the important distinctions between, say, electric utilities and gas-guzzling Hummers.
As I see it, though, there are two main problems with this approach:
First, we have to take for granted that any major energy and climate legislation in Congress will be hijacked by special interests. This happened with the House cap-and-trade bill, which saw huge numbers of pollution permits handed out for free to utilities, coal generators, oil refiners, etc. But under cap-and-trade, no matter how many permits you give away, no matter how much revenue the government loses that could have been spent on valuable clean energy investments, you still have a firm economy-wide emissions cap to show for it — a guarantee that the United States will emit over 80 percent less carbon in 2050 than it does now.
With this proposal, though, it looks like we lose that. If electric utilities successfully lobby the Senate and get it to weaken their emissions target by 20 percent, and coal companies win a 15 percent reprieve, well then you've just taken a huge step back in the country's commitment to fight global warming. It's possible that when we actually see the text of the Kerry-Graham-Lieberman bill, there will be some provision to prevent this kind of manipulation, but I've yet to see anything to that effect.
Second, there's the annoying truth that you can keep taking the teeth out of climate legislation, but you're still not going to get many — if any — more Republicans or conservative Democrats to vote for it. Case in point from The Washington Post:
Even some moderate Republicans, seen as possible supporters of a new climate bill, remain opposed to the idea of putting a price on carbon, which Lieberman still calls "sine qua non," or an essential ingredient, of any such bill. Andy Fisher, a spokesman for Sen. Richard G. Lugar (R-Ind.), said the senator, who has opposed cap-and-trade and carbon taxes, could support pricing carbon "potentially at some point, but not at the moment."
Which is Congress-speak for: Sure, I'd consider voting for climate legislation, but not until after the midterm elections, when the Democratic majority will be sufficiently reduced to make passing a comprehensive climate bill impossible. At which point I'll oppose it because "it simply doesn't have the votes."

9Of Course This is What Beyonce Looks Like a Month After Birth
Honestly, would you expect anything else? And truly, if this set of photos does not completely convince you that the womb of Beyonce has never been tainted by a common baby, then I don't know what to tell you.
On the flip side, if you're one of the few who actually do believe that Beyonce both carried – and birthed! – her own child, then you shouldn't be surprised by this news, either. Beyonce and Jay-Z have six nannies on hand. Six nannies. For one child. I'd say that probably gives a more than sufficient amount of time to work out in your own personal gym pretty much, you know, 23 and-a-half hours out of the day over these last four weeks.
Yes, this is what Beyonce looks a short four weeks after giving birth, and it lends a whole lot of credence to the rumors that she took Prednisone, a steroid that has side-effects like facial swelling and weight gain, both of which were witnessed at only the very end of B's pregnancy. The funny thing about Prednisone (my brother used to take it when he was a little kid; he had some health issues of his own) is that once you stop taking it, the facial swelling and weight gain goes away almost immediately – especially if you haven't been taking it long-term.
The Beyonce photos were captured while she attended her husband's show at Carnegie Hall in New York City, where he performed 'Glory', the song he wrote for his daughter, for the first time. Here's a clip:

Sources close to Jay-Z say that after the reportedly-exhausting show, Beyonce and the hubs snacked out on celery and champagne, so maybe it isn't all a loss, Beyonce stopping that Prednisone or hot wings or whatever it actually was. The health benefits of this child being in their lives are, by far, heavily outweighing the idea that Beyonce probably didn't give birth to that child, and that's good. Because when two people who can afford to bedazzle their baby's bottles and provide them with round-the-clock nanny care in sets of three, it's refreshing to see that their tastes wander to the conventional, and the healthy, too. You know?

It sounds like they live a bit like Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette. Very decadent, tacky, over the top wealth.
Do you think she has a wet nurse too? Or two, or three?
If she really wants to kill the rumours, she should publically expose some breast milk leakage on her dress front. Also, shouldn't her breasts be much bigger than that if she's lactating?
This pig did not give birth….who honestly believes that she gave birth to an actual human being?
That's a good picture. The others I have seen from that same night, she DOES look like a woman who had a child. Her breasts are very large and her legs and thighs has significant weight gain.
I don't care what anyone says. This chick did not carry a baby – she ate steroids to gain weight while her sister got pregnant, gave birth and gave bey and jay the baby.
Bitch didn't give birth. Her baby was purchased and is as fake as her wig's!
She never looked pregnant before and she sure as hell doesn't look like a new mom now. Do they really think ppl are THAT stupid?
Beyonce did not fake birth u crazy stupid jealous bitchs u guy are just jealous cause she had a sexy body and bigger boobs so all u hater leave her alone she has a beautiful kid and a handsome husband so just back off and stop hateing on jay-z cause he has beyonce as a wife and had a baby with her so just back off bitch leave them alone
She looks ridiculously ferret like these days. Too much surgery ruined her once decent face. Does she really have any hair of her own??

Aimee Ray created a logo and some delightful characters for Carrie, which she then used on a variety of products, including dolls made from custom fabric printed with Aimee's design! Aimee also designed business cards.
Nothing short of perfect
"My experience with Aeolidia Design was nothing short of perfect. They are extremely organized, responsive, efficient, professional AND totally creative! I thoroughly enjoyed working with artist Aimee Ray on my design project. My logo and mascots are absolutely adorable and exactly what I was hoping for. She was very patient with me and always positive during the process. I had a lot of ideas about what I wanted and she managed to incorporate all of my requests beautifully. Aimee is so talented, and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her. It is fabulous to finally have my promotional materials reflect the professionalism and creativity that I had imagined. THANK YOU so much, Arianne and Aimee!"

I'm going to keep this one short and sweet. Our defense can play with the best of them on any given Sunday (when relatively healthy). Our pass rush matches up against the Patriots O-Line well.... okay, it matches up against any team well, but we're focused on the Pats. Despite everything I just said, Tom Brady, Wes Welker and Rob Gronkowski can match up against any D, any time, and put up massive points. We can't just sit back and expect this game to be 10-0 Patriots in the 4th like almost every other one. This game will most likely end up being a shootout, and McGahee being dinged up right now is not going to lessen the chances.
If we don't start early (like 1st quarter early), this game has a likelihood of getting way out of hand. Instead of running up the gut twice every set of downs, I pray our staff is smart enough to let Tim run the Tebow Time offense that we've grown accustomed to loving in the 4th quarter of all these wins. Shotgun spread, Timmy as the singleback / quarterback in the backfield!!! McGahee may prove me wrong, and may bounce back to form in this game, but he looked pretty hurt to me. What say you???
I'd also love to see us gash the Pats on a return or two, or see the D capitalize on a turnover or two with pay dirt.

Putney- Well before sunrise, members of Putney United Methodist Church decorated what they call a "Living Cross."
The wooden structure is adorned with hundreds of live flowers, a symbolic reminder that after Christ's crucifixion, he rose again from his grave. [
"The cross itself was a scandal when Jesus died upon the cross, but that was not to be. God had another plan, and the plan is that he's alive and when people drive by and see this cross. It is a beautiful cross. That was the way it was intended to be, never a scandal," says pastor, Don Woeltjen.
The pastor says he hopes the Living Cross will be a sign of hope for everyone who sees it. This the second year the church has created a living cross.

Wondering how to stop procrastination? Many people are. Most of us have found ourselves wondering how to stop procrastination at one point or another. While we may tackle certain projects with gusto, some tasks leave us feeling paralyzed with inertia, watching our deadlines approach (or pass us by) as we wonder how to force ourselves to move forward. Fear not! The next time you find yourself battling procrastination, you will have more tools on your side. Read on for 10 tips on how to stop procrastination.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: It Varies, But Now Is The Time To Begin!
Here's How:
Keep Perfectionism In CheckWhile not all procrastination comes from perfectionism, this can definitely be a factor. Think about it: when you're letting perfectionism take hold, you may let projects become so large that you're intimidated to start. You may then be at the mercy of procrastination. If you find yourself procrastinating out of perfectionism, you can help yourself by relaxing your standards. Shoot for 'good enough' and work your way up to 'great' if you have the time and energy. Don't let the goal of perfection keep you from starting!
Get Quick Things Out Of The WaySometimes a too-long to-do list can intimidate you into procrastination; all those items that need your attention can sap you of the energy you need to get started. One helpful "how to stop procrastination" tip is to make a list of the things you need to get done, and note how long each item should take to complete. As you review the list, take any item that can be completed in 5 minutes or less, and do it immediately. This can not only shorten your to-do list quickly, but can energize you as you mark off the items. It also sets you started in the right direction to finish the rest.
Take Small StepsBreaking procrastination-worthy projects down into smaller steps is a well-known and effective procrastination-busting technique. It can be much easier to begin tackling a project that you know you can complete quickly, and once you've taken a few initial steps in the right direction, you can keep moving more easily and continue until you're finished. (As you complete each step, you'll likely feel more energized and motivated to complete more.) One important key is to make the steps short, concrete, and set in your schedule. Small steps lead to big gains!
Reward YourselfAs you complete each of these smaller steps, the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment you feel can be its own reward, and can create its own motivation to move on to the next step. However, sometimes you can benefit from an extra reward. In these cases, you can propel yourself forward by attaching small rewards to each of your small steps, or a bigger reward when you complete several. Go to a movie, celebrate milestones with friends, do things you enjoy when you complete your tasks. You may be dreading the task itself, but the treat on the other side can motivate you to get started!
Do The Easy Things FirstWhen a task feels overwhelming, it's often because we doubt our ability to tackle it. One way to build self-confidence is to tackle the easier parts of the job first. This can give you a boost in two ways: first, as you complete the easier tasks, the job may feel less daunting, and it'll be easier to stop procrastination as you complete it; second, once the easy parts of the job are completed, you'll be left with less overall work to do, so the rest of the job is smaller and may seem easier to take on. In both ways, your confidence can grow by taking on the easy parts of the job first.
Or Do The Hard Things FirstIf you know you can do the task at hand, but you just cringe when you think of the work that's involved, save yourself some stress and tackle the unpleasant or difficult parts of the job first. Like quickly pulling off a bandage, you'll get the most uncomfortable part of the job out of the way, and save yourself all the discomfort that comes from dreading and avoiding it before you finally stop procrastination and do it anyway. Don't prolong all that stress! Get the hard parts out of the way, and the rest of the job will be much easier to do.
Be An OptimistAnother way to combat the self-doubt that often leads to procrastination is to start thinking more like a classic optimist: highlight the positive and minimize the negative parts of the job and of yourself. Look more closely at why you may feel you can't do this task, and challenge those views by actively looking at reasons you can: your strengths, your resources, and your successes--similar tasks you've successfully completed in the past. Focus more heavily on why you can do this, and less on why you think you can't.
Let Your Temptations Fuel YouNever has a television show seemed so inviting to me as when I'm procrastinating and avoiding a big project. T.V. shows, conversations with friends, snacking--suddenly these activities can feel irresistible! I'm sure you can relate. When you're wondering how to stop procrastination, part of the solution is staring you in the face: look at these things that come up as tempting distractions, and use them as rewards instead! Just tell yourself that whatever it is you'd rather be doing, can be your reward for a job well-done once you complete part of your work. (See step #3, above.)
Use Your Energy WiselyHave you ever noticed that you have more energy at certain times of the day? (For me it's usually late morning.) Tackling those things that usually fall prey to procrastination during these "high energy windows" can help you to be much more productive, can make the job itself feel easier, and can help you stop procrastination much more easily. For the next few days, notice when these higher-energy times of day are for you. Then leave the easier tasks for when you're frazzled at the end of the day, and use your energy on your more challenging tasks when you have higher amounts of it.
Let Me Help!Finding support from others can make a difficult task easier. Aside from delegating what you can, and using whatever resources you have available to tackle the project that has you trying to stop procrastinating, you may feel more able to see this task as an engaging challenge if you have your stress levels under control. That's where I can supply extra help.

Let's face it. This secondary is not going to make it to the Superbowl. Especially when we are playing in the same conference with Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers. Until we fix the secondary (i.e. cutting Newman and drafting a corner), hoping for playoff success is a fools errand. Having a CB corp that includes Mike Jenkins, Orlando Scandrick, and maybe a Janoris Jenkins would get us much closer to the SB than beating the Giants on Sunday.
Furthermore, the best corner available in Free Agency this coming off season is Cortland Finnegan. Not exactly the cream of the NFL crop. And we'll likely have to pay a pretty penny to get him anyhow, since legit starting NFL corners are highly sought after. So to find a suitable replacement for Newman one must look to the draft.
Of the CB's that made it to the pro-bowl this year only one was taken outside the first round: Tillman and he was a second rounder. Moreover, CB is one of the positions where you need to use a first round pick on, and the success rate of doing so is relatively high.
Of the 43 cornerbacks selected in Round One, our research shows 23 have worked out (become solid starters) for a hit rate of 53.5 percent. The 53.5 percent hit rate is one of the highest of any position and certainly the highest amongst the "premium positions." Over the past few years teams have struck gold with the likes of Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Darrelle Revis, Leon Hall and Nnamdi Asomugha, amongst others. Since 2007, cornerbacks selected in the first round have better than an 81 percent hit rate (9 of 11).
And as your draft pick gets better in the first round the hit rate jumps dramatically from pick to pick, which is why there is such a huge jump on the trade value chart from pick 22 (780) to pick 14 (1100). And that is likely to be the difference between losing and winning next week as we are currently sitting on the 18th pick in the draft. Furthermore, it is a lot easier to trade up into the top ten when you have the 14th pick in the draft as opposed to the 22nd, which is what we may need to do to get an elite CB.
If you want the Cowboys to win another Superbowl then you better hope for a Cowboys loss Sunday night.

It's been twelve years since cook county prosecutors charged 38 year old Armando Zabillaga with killing his room mate. Police say Zabillaga fatally stabbed, Keith Ferguson, on November 1, 1998, after the two men argued over rent money. Both men lived in an apartment in the two thousand block of north Lawler.
Investigators got a break in the case a few days later when a witness came forward stating his car had been car jacked by Zabillaga immediately following the murder. The witness told police he had been in an apartment the two men shared earlier that day. He left to get something to eat and when he returned, he saw Zabillaga running from the building. According the witness, Zabillaga was covered with blood and had been cut. Investigators say Zabillaga got in the witness's car. As the two men began to drive to a hospital, the witness told police Zabillaga pulled a blood stained knife, threatened him and then forced him out of the car.
Police found the car a few days later in Chicago and Zabillaga has not been seen since. FBI agents say Zabillaga may have returned to his native Mexico. They also say he may now be back in Chicago since more than a decade has passed. Here is a description of what agents say Zabillaga looks like. He is described as a Hispanic male,5' 4", 150 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. He also has tattoos on his left leg and right arm.
Zabillaga is considered armed and dangerous.
If you have any information about this case, call Chicago FBI at (312) 421-6700.

It is normal for both the recipient and family members to have feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, insecurity, and nervousness on the day of surgery. It may be helpful for candidates to talk to other cochlear implant recipients about their experiences to get an idea of what to expect and ask the surgeon all questions they may have to be fully prepared.
Cochlear implant surgery typically lasts about 2-3 hours, with additional time necessary for the administration of anesthesia and safety monitoring devices and time in the recovery room to awaken. Once the patient is anesthetized, a small amount of hair is shaved above and behind the ear to be implanted. A small incision is then made behind the ear. The surgeon may use either a traditional incision or a "minimal access" incision. The traditional incision is about 6 inches long and requires a healing period of about 3-4 weeks. The minimal access incision is about 2 inches long and requires a healing period of only about one week because it does not cut through the temporalis muscle. The type of incision depends on the surgeon's preferred technique, device type being implanted and the individual patient's outcomes.
A small depression is created in the bone behind the ear for placement of the internal receiver/stimulator portion of the implant. A tiny opening is made into the cochlea, and the electrode array is inserted. The area around the electrode array is sealed and the incision is sutured. Swelling is minimized by the application of a pressure bandage.
It is also important to understand that everyone reacts differently to anesthesia. Immediately following surgery some patients might experience nausea, vomiting or slight dizziness. Others may be able to eat and use the restroom by themselves several hours after surgery. Pain is usually minimal after full awakening, and most patients only need Tylenol for comfort 24 hours after the operation. It is typically recommended that cochlear implant recipients refrain from overexertion through physical activity (i.e. manual labor of any kind, sports) for 4-6 weeks after surgery.
To help achieve a smooth transition to the operating room, the child will receive a sedative before leaving their hospital room. Most children are sleeping by the time they go to the operating room. General anesthesia is very safe, even for very young healthy children. Our anesthesiologists have extensive experience anesthetizing infants and small children as well as adults.
