GRAYSON COUNTY – The Grayson County Health Department has confirmed the county's first flu-related death of the season.
It happened at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital-WNJ on January 6.
The health department says the person who died was a 73-year-old man from Whitesboro.
He reportedly had multiple underlying health problems and was admitted to the hospital for respiratory failure. He was diagnosed with the Type-A flu strain and pneumonia. His flu vaccine status is unknown.
"He was only here a few days," Barbara Moody said. Moody is the infection prevention specialist at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital.
In addition to Grayson County's first flu-related death, more hospitalizations from the flu are also being reported.
Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital says its reported more than 140 Type-A flu cases overall this season.
Texoma Medical Center says it's reported an additional 96 cases, 94 of which are Type-A, and presumed to be H1N1, the predominant strain of the flu this year.
TMC Emergency Physician Greg Hansen says the hospital isn't seeing a higher volume of flu patients this year than in the past.
"High fever, body aches. In this year's strain, we've even seen a little bit of nausea and even some vomiting," Hansen said.
Moody says symptoms from the Type-A strain are more severe that Type-B. She says visiting a doctor as soon as symptoms set in is important."Adults
don't usually run a fever of 102 but if you get treated within a couple
of days the Tamiflu is effective. So it's important to get treatment
started when you suspect it," Moody said. "The symptoms are so dramatic.
You're well one minute and you're been hit by a truck the next minute." It's not required by law, but the health department says it relies heavily on hospitals, clinics and schools to report flu cases so that it can get an accurate count. But, because not all those make reports, the amount of flu cases in Grayson County is likely higher than the numbers reflect.
New flu numbers were also released this morning for the state of Oklahoma.
One hundred twenty-two new cases were reported during the past week.
There have been 399 since September 29, 2013, which have resulted in twelve deaths statewide.
The nearest death to southeast Oklahoma is in Pittsburg County.
We checked with several health departments in Texoma. All say they have plenty of flu shots and a new flu mist on hand, and that it is still not too late to get vaccinated.Amanda Ortez with the Grayson County Health Department says it has received 600 additional flu vaccines.

Absence of Balance: Six Guests, No Republicans, on Tonight's Hardball
Wouldn't you think that someone who fashions his show "Hardball" would have the intestinal fortitude to invite on at least one guest who disagrees with his world view? At least tonight, Chris Matthews apparently thought that unnecessary.
Here was Matthews guest line-up this evening:
- Philippe Sands: left-wing Brit, author of a new book, Lawless World, accusing Pres. Bush of having decided very early on in the game to go to war against Iraq.
- John Podesta: the lugubrious former chief-of-staff to Bill Clinton and member of Hillary's inner circle. Podesta is the President of the Center for American Progress, founded by George Soros.
- Pat Buchanan: while the Today show had the chutzpah last week to bill him as a 'Republican strategist,' this 2000 presidential nominee of the Reform Party tonight acknowledged the undeniable - that he's "left the [Republican] party." His gloves were off on this evening's show, accusing his favorite targets, the "neo-cons," of ginning up the Iraq war.
- Susan Page: reporter for the Dem-friendly USA Today. Let's call the affable Page a voice of the more reasonable realms of the center-left media.
- Craig Crawford: the snarky MSNBC/CBS political analyst who enjoys taking snide shots at the Bush administration.
- Charlie Cook: political pollster, he of the Cook Political Report. Call Cook reasonably down-the-middle, but consider that the bouquets he placed in his own bio come from the NY Times, Bob Schieffer Al Hunt and David Broder. No one has ever accused Cook of being a Republican.
Sure, Matthews has had his share of Republican guests. But couldn't he have found at least one to round out tonight's left-leaning/Bush antagonist line-up?
An amusing aside: perhaps conscious of the lack of Republicans, Matthews decided to offer up as a token Republican none other than . . . himself! He stated that for years he had been in the habit of voting for an unidentified Republican congresswoman from his home state of Maryland. Liberal Republian Connie Morella, perhaps?

A blessed Pascha to the Orthodox readers of GetReligion. I hope you are recovering from the long, but glorious, week of services and the middle-of-the night rites and feasts. Personally, I think it is high time for a post-Great Lent barbecue run — soon.
In terms of Pascha news, I, for one, am stunned that a quick online search found next to nothing in terms of mainstream media coverage of what is, or is not, happening in Syria and Egypt — where there are are huge, endangered communities of Eastern Christians in the middle of the news events. Maybe tomorrow's newspapers?
Here in America, I am also seeing/hearing discussion among some Orthodox of President Barack Obama's interesting official statement marking Pascha. On one level, it's quite solid, and much appreciated. But on another level — maybe not. Here's the heart of the message:
For millions of Orthodox Christians, this is a joyful time. But it's also a reminder of the sacrifice Christ made so that we might have eternal life. His decision to choose love in the face of hate; hope in the face of despair is an example we should always strive to follow. But it's especially important to remember this year, as members of the Orthodox community have been confronted with persecution and violence, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa. For centuries, the region and the world has been enriched by the contributions of Orthodox communities in countries like Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq. As a nation, we reaffirm our commitment to protecting universal human rights including the freedom of religion. And in this season of hope and restoration, we celebrate the transformational power of sacrificial love.
Now, other than a direct reference to the resurrection itself (which is a hard thing for a liberal Christian political leader to discuss), what is missing from this statement?
How about something specific about an unfolding drama in Syria, one involving the kidnapping by terrorists of Orthodox Bishop Paul Yazigi — the brother of Antiochian Orthodox Patriarch John X Yazigi of Damascus — and Bishop Yohanna Ibrahim of the Syriac Orthodox Church? It's good to mention the generalities, but an actual call for the release of the two kidnapped bishops might have actually made news. Would that have rocked the U.S. State Department boat too much?
Meanwhile, the newspaper that lands in my front yard offered a quite nice Orthodox-angle Easter story that, as usual, focuses on Greek Orthodox life. Now, let me stress that the Greek Orthodox community in the Baltimore area is large and very important. It deserves coverage. However, the team at The Baltimore Sun seems to think that the Greek community and the Orthodox community are one and the same thing. This is not the case.
Anyway, Orthodox readers, check out the top of this story and tell me if you spot an interesting detail, or two (and I'm not talking about the fact that this particular Orthodox church has pews):

Florence + The Machine were on 'Later with Jools Holland' last week, where they gifted the audience with commanding performances of tracks from their sophomore album 'Ceremonials'.
Florence, who's usually very theatrical, gave a beautifully haunting performance of "Breaking Down" wearing a Gucci Spring 2012 look.
The long-sleeved georgette cocktail dress with a zebra beaded top and a black, white and gold sequined skirt was paired with black suede peep-toes with a gold chain detail.
This was one of my favourite looks from the collection, so I'm still hoping to see it on the red carpet.

South Bend is the apex of college football. The Fighting Irish have been dominating college football for the better part of 125 years way up in northern Indiana. The town and the entire Catholic community rally around their athletics programs. Like it or not, the school and the city have a rich history full of tradition and fun activities. Oddly enough, my girlfriend is a resident of South Bend, and I have had the good fortune of visiting the city many times. Although I have only been to one football game (This year's matchup vs Stanford) at Notre Dame Stadium, I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on the places to go when visiting for a football game. Of course I am enlisting the help of my beautiful girlfriend to make sure I don't lead you all astray.
I've tried to compile the names and websites of many cool places to visit. This includes bars and pubs, upscale and moderately priced restaurants, things to do in the city, and of course…Notre Dame's campus and it's many weekend football festivities. Here we go!
I know many of you will be staying in Chicago as part of the Wake Forest trip to South Bend which includes a train ride over in the morning with a Wake Forest tailgate already set up. This information is for anyone, but I guess it pertains more to those who will be staying in South Bend before or after the game; or both!
If you are staying in South Bend there are a few things you absolutely MUST DO!(If you have time)
- Take time to visit the Notre Dame Campus. The architecture and historic feel of campus are truly awe inspiring, not to mention the football stadium right in the heart of campus with Touchdown Jesus within walking distance behind it. Touchdown Jesus is actually Hesburgh Library. You should absolutely take the time to go on a walk around campus or if you have more time there are walking tours on campus on Fridays from (10am-4pm) That is your best bet to find out about all things Notre Dame. They will show you the Basilica of the Sacred Heart, the Grotto of our Lady of Lourdes, the Main Building (Golden Dome) and much more. Here is a full link to all of the buildings on campus for you. Campus Tour locations
- Stop in at any South Bend Chocolate Company. There is a restaurant and
coffee shop located downtown as well as many other small locations around town and in the local mall. They have the best chocolate around and their hot chocolate literally tastes like pure chocolate and is sure to warm you up in the cold weather. Any of their chocolate covered goodies will hit the spot as well; I prefer the chocolate covered Michigan cherries!
- Visit the College Football Hall of Fame. This is the last year that all of college football's glory will be showcased in South Bend, Indiana. At the end of December the Hall of Fame will be closing its doors and relocating to Atlanta, Georgia. Quite a stinker if you ask me, but this is a place well worth visiting if you have time. Tours are affordable and the last time I was there Aaron Curry's jersey was on display! It's located in the heart of downtown and conveniently right next to the South Bend Chocolate Factory. They are open until 8 p.m. on Friday and they open up at 8 a.m. on Saturday.
- Notre Dame Football pep rally – The team will have a pep rally on Friday evening before the game at 5 p.m. at Purcell Pavillion in the Joyce Center. This is a first come first serve event and once they fill up the doors will close. I believe this is free to the public, but you may need a ticket.
- Friday Tunnel Tour 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. on Football Fridays (except during team walk-throughs) Here is the Video of my own tunnel tour (after an Irish victory against Stanford) There is also information about how to do a stadium tour, I have never done one so I figured I would let the Notre Dame site tell you all of the information.
Since 1931, every Notre Dame football team has walked down the same tunnel, to the same field before every home football game. On Fridays of football weekends, Game Day Operations and Athletics is proud to give every Irish fan the opportunity to walk the same fabled walk every Irish player has taken for the past 80 years. Come experience the North Tunnel of Notre Dame Stadium, take pictures with the field in the background, and feel the echoes waiting to be awoke. Free and open to the public.
Notre Dame Stadium Tours
Tours run Tuesday-Friday on home football weeks.
Tuesday and Wednesday: 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
Thursday: 9 a.m., 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. (1 p.m. and 2:45 p.m. tours do not include tour of locker room)
Friday: 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. (do not include tour of locker room or game field)
All fans can now get an insider look at one of the most historic, tradition laden and iconic venues in athletics with a tour of Notre Dame Stadium. Listen to ushers tell the history of the stadium as you walk the concourse. Take in the expansive campus view from the press box. Walk the Notre Dame locker room, touch the Play Like a Champion sign, and step on the field! Enjoy the hour long tour for only $10.00 per person.
Purchase tickets at the Murnane Family Ticket Office located inside the main entrance of Purcell Pavilion 8:30 a.m. – 1:45 p.m. Tickets must be purchased on the day of the tour. Future tour dates not available for purchase. Tours limited to a maximum of 25 people. Children 2 & under do not require a ticket.
For any questions please call the ticket office at 574-631-7356.
6. Midnight Drummer's Circle. For 45 minutes starting at midnight on Friday the Notre Dame Drum Line will be playing outside of the Golden Dome. This is a really neat tradition and if you are up this late it is definitely worth seeing. The Deacs don't kick off until 3:30 on Saturday.
We all need to eat right? Of course South Bend has all the chain restaurants you can think of, but here is a list of authentic restaurants throughout the city. I'll break it up into two categories: casual and upscale.
CJ's Pub- This is the home of all the great bar food you can think of. If you are looking to grub out and drink some beers this the right place for you. The food is delicious and affordably priced.
Fiddler's Hearth – Located in downtown this is a great Irish Pub with authentic Irish cuisine. You can grab some Bangers and Mash for lunch or if you want to go for dinner you might try the Irish stew. Great atmosphere and affordable as well. Soccer fans love this place when games are on. MENU
Brother's Bar and Grill – Mainly known for it's nightlife scene(Which we will talk about later), this bar also has more american grill items. Brother's is conveniently located in the Eddy Street Commons located directly across from campus. Great for lunch before a campus tour. MENU
O'Rourke's Public House - This is another bar more known for it's nightlife, but it is on the opposite corner of Brother's and the two restaurants constantly compete for business. They have prime locations and good food. Either place would be a good pic for the hungry visitor.
The Mark – Another restaurant located in the Eddy Street Commons, The Mark offers a wide variety of options. Visitors can choose to build their own burger, choose from one of many delicious sandwiches, or go big and order up southern-style buttermilk chicken. There are plenty of options to choose from here as well. If you are around campus and looking for food, stopping at the Eddy Street commons is a good idea as they have these three restaurants and a couple more chain restaurants. MENU
Legends of Notre Dame - This restaurant is located right on campus in the parking lot of the football stadium; literally 100 yards from the stadium. The food is good and the restaurant is owned by Notre Dame so all proceeds go to support Notre Dame social functions. Because of this, students are able to enjoy free live entertainment and night club dancing every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night during the school year. If you are 100% against supporting the Irish because you are die-hard Deacs fans then this isn't the place for you. They also have a $7 dollar pre-game party for football games that runs from 8:00 a.m. until kickoff. MENU
For those of you looking to have a nice sit down dinner on Friday night before the game I recommend the following restaurants. They all have great food so you can't go wrong at any one of them, but you will probably need a reservation.
LaSalle Grill - Located in downtown South Bend this restaurant is one of the best in the city. It used to be a restaurant and cigar club, but the cigar bar is now smoke free. They still have three floors of dining. The top level is known as Club LaSalle. This is the cigar parlor and major bar area of the restaurant. Patrons can still order from the full restaurant menu, but this floor provides a more intimate atmosphere with night life to follow. Adjacent to the first floor dining room is another cozy dining area. This is called the Barroom. They specialize on classic cocktails with a strong passion for Martinis and Manhattans. This is more for the single diner, but also great for drinks before you reservation. The food at LaSalle is hard to beat and the service is top notch. If you feel like opening up the wallet a little bit, this would be my choice. You must call for a reservation at LaSalle on football weekends. MENU
Cafe Navarre - This cafe has outstanding food to go along with a very cool environment. The restaurant set up and atmosphere give it that big city feel. Navarre is owned by a local chef, whom I have had the pleasure meeting, and he is constantly changing the menu to bring in the freshest ingredients. He strives to
give his patrons something unique at his restaurant. They have fish dinners, pastas, steaks, and even quail. This is another place that will require a reservation, but it is well worth the money. MENU
Trio's - For an evening of dining accompanied with some jazz music Trio's is the spot for you. Randy Marsh and the Big Organ Trio will be playing this Friday night. The cuisine is styled after the two American jazz cities of New Orleans and Kansas City. If you want Creole they've got it, but if you want some good ole BBQ ribs you can get that too. Trio's is a little more reasonably priced than the previous restaurants, but it is still great food and the entertainment is an added bonus. MENU
Now it's time for the nightlife. Hopefully the Deacs can pull off a major upset and us Wake Forest folks can go out for a night on the town in South Bend to celebrate. There are plenty of watering holes in South Bend as it is a true college football town, but there are a few classics that I recommend.
The Linebacker- Affectionately known by the locals as "The Backer," this small bar is located right around the corner from campus and is always filled to capacity. They are known for their small size and great environment. Every Notre Dame fan has stopped in at the Backer before. Even if you go during the day this bar is worth stopping in. Don't be surprised if you see a line out the door in the evenings despite the cold weather…that tells you how much people love this place.
Corby's- If you have ever seen the movie Rudy, then you have seen Corby's. Remember the scene where Rudy Ruettiger is sitting alone at the bar when he sees his crush. In his drunken stupor he admits that he is not a student at Notre Dame, effectively kicking him out of the booster club. That scene takes place inside the legendary Corby's. This bar isn't as close to campus as the rest, but the atmosphere is unbeatable. The bar is huge and there is an area filled with pool tables. Students come here frequently despite the distance from campus.
O'Rourkes- I listed this bar as a place to eat during the daytime hours, but at night it becomes a full blown hot spot. Coming to O'Rourkes or Brothers is never a bad choice if you are looking to have a good time. As I mentioned earlier, they are both on the same street so if you don't like one it is a short walk to the other. This is another spacious bar and they always have great drink specials.
Brothers- The other Eddy Street bar. This bar has more of a sports feel to it with more televisions covering sporting events. Again, this is a huge bar that is always packed with people. Brothers and O'Rourkes are probably more for the younger crowd but if you want to experience Notre Dame night life the bars on this list are where you want to go. Drink specials are always happening and my personal philosophy goes like this: "It's not the bar you go to, it's the people you go with that make the night fun."
Club LaSalle- I mentioned this bar earlier as well. This is a classier bar with a cigar parlor. This is the place to go if you are looking for a nice relaxing evening with some friends with a bottle of win.
The Notre Dame fans take their tailgating very seriously. The parking lot surrounding the stadium will be full of huge tailgates with tents everywhere. Most people even have their own flag so you know its them. The best tailgating is in those parking lots, but as long as you have food and drink it will be a fun tailgate no matter what. If you have no plans for a tailgate, but want to do one you can find scalpers selling parking passes on the streets just outside of campus. They usually come out in the afternoons on Friday's to sell the passes.
If you do have a parking pass for the stadium lot, I would advise getting there early to claim your spot. I'm fairly certain it is free for all parking and most people get there early to claim a spot. The parking lot opens at 6 am so if you have two cars you can always drop one off to stake your claim. Otherwise, fans will start showing up between 9-10 a.m. for a 3:30 game.
I hope you all have a great time visiting the city and hopefully the Deacs can come away with a huge upset. There is plenty to do no matter what your interests are. I hope you found this helpful for navigating the city and finding entertainment while you are there. I know my first Notre Dame game was an absolute blast so I expect you all to have fun too. I will see you all in South Bend!
-Go Deacs!
Michael Hoag

It's fashionable now for conservationists to diss naturalists as caring about wildlife more than people. Time to give that contempt a rethink, says the Conservancy's Matt Miller.

With 1,174 residents per square mile, it is the most densely populated state in the country. Its "Meadowlands" is not known for wildlife diversity, but rather football diversity (the only stadium home to two NFL teams). The longest hike many visitors may take is along Atlantic City's neon-lit boardwalk. In short, New Jersey is probably […]

There is a growing demand from science, from policy and from conservation itself to include people in conservation. In the meantime, conservationists are still trying to figure out how to best conserve habitats and species and now how to do this with climate change. Now we're piling on people, too?

At this time, I wish all of you a Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Joyeux Noel, Feliz Navidad, Frohe Weihnachten, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Solstice, Eid al-Adha, Muharram, Happy New Year, Feliz Año Nuevo, Glückliche Neue Jahre, and Bonne Annee. If I missed one or two greetings, I apologize and offer you my best wishes of the season.
It's a bit odd this holiday season. We are in difficult financial straits and much of the world is still in turmoil, but at the same time we have cause for hope. In the U.S.A. we have a new president who will soon be inaugurated, who in fact ran on a platform of hope.
So during these holidays, let us all give in to our own best inclinations and hope and pray for a more peaceful world--a world that addresses poverty and environment with more vigor and thoughtfulness. And let us commit ourselves to action on those nice platitudes, to make sure that they aren't just empty promises of a better world.
It is more important than ever to try to support the various charities that need our help with an increasingly heavier load and less resources. And let us again try to pressure all our governments--no matter where we live--to work for the betterment of the world, rather than for parochial, selfish interests that are politically expedient. Remember that it is easier to criticize from afar than to get involved. Only if we ourselves--not someone else down the block, or in some other country--make a real contribution to change this planet Earth for the better, will things actually improve.
And, finally, I wish us all a new year of unselfish love, affection and caring--for those around us and for those with whom we all share this very small and fragile world. I hope your holidays are safe and happy ones for you and your families.
And thank you for your kind patience with this poor writer and editor during this past year and in the coming year.
Nice words and thoughts, Alex. Happy Holidays, and peace, good health, joy and laughter to you and your family throughout the New Year.

Dear Alex, I have been up all night and just read your most recent newsletter. I am cutting and pasting something that was on listserv I receive. This came from the National Association of Professional Geriatric Care Managers Listserv:
Monday January 19, 2009 has been designated as a "National Day of Service". People are encouraged to "get involved" by performing community service. This effort is coordinated by the Presidential Inaugural Committee (in preparation for the January 20 Presidential Inauguration). A web-site will be launched in early January listing opportunities for citizens to provide service in their communities.
--Susan L. Edlis
Alex, thanks for thinking about this and writing about it to everybody! For me you're great so go on next year for our continued pleasure! I hope what you wish comes true!!!! I think all of us will have a small part in our own hands in order to accomplish it.

Rocking out like the old dayson April 20, 2013 at 8:30 am
Calypso and Landon rocking out like the old days. There are a ton of bits and pieces from their past that won't make it into the strip but is still very much of part of those two. This is a bit that likely won't make it. But how cool would it be to do a photo album from their rock and roll days??!
Anyways, I've been doing daily drawings now since mid-February. Today's drawing happens to be very relevant to 2816. If you want to see the rest I post them on Instagram, Google+, Tumblr, Twitter, and facebook.

Mostly sunny wall that is not nearly as crowded (usually) as the top ropes on the north side of Stoney. This wall has some great exposure looking down at Boulder 1 and the road. It sports two bolted climbs (not leadable - crap bolts or studs). Pink Drips is the left 5.9 that follows the rusted bolt stud line. The 5.10 is around the corner with the mix of bad bolts visible. Cool wall, but somewhat chossy. If it sees more traffic it should keep pretty clean.
Getting There
Walk past B1 boulder towards the Pile Ups boulders. In between these two formations, cut up the hill slightly right of were you would head up for the Jesus Wall. Easy scrambling lead to the base of the wall.

Wide receivers Jarrett and Johnson may be the two most high-profile underclassmen in the upcoming NFL draft, and Houston has had his moments against both, though his matchups against Johnson have come on the practice field. ...

In the interview yesterday on Navigating the Astrological Matrix, I mentioned that the Yod formation on Winter Solstice, is like an eye of the needle. Jupiter Gemini is the beacon, with a kind of "go toward the light" message. It's a leap of faith moment that takes us far if we have our minds and hearts open. This light is only visible, though, when we get leverage from the heavy baggage of 'what's always been.' As I wrote in 2012 and Initiation, it's about the power to choose, something new, in the spontaneous moment.
I like this from Melody Scott Zindell, "This New Moon is 9 days ahead of, and connected to, the December 21, 2012 Solstice, end of the Mayan 13th Baktun cycle (5125 years which x5 is the precessional cycle), and Time Zero according to Terrence McKenna. It does feel like the compression gets stronger daily, as if anything that cannot go with us into this new cycle is being squeezed out. Where we are still unconscious of beliefs that may have to be left behind, or maybe not moving quickly enough towards release, life is forcing the issue and it hasn't been easy lately. What do we need to start fresh with the new beginning that awaits us?"
I've really felt that big squeeze, which is a blessing in disguise as Melody makes clear. It's been like a spiritual purgative, and at times, messy, disturbing and even bringing on a crisis of faith. I see it as a trailing of the Mercury retrograde, which will release to fresh degrees this weekend (Dec 15th). Together with the New Moon in bright-minded Sagittarius, let's welcome the catharsis that comes with such deep psychic cauldron stirring.
This is a Jupiter-kissed New Moon, and now we have nine days to solstice, when the Sun is reborn. Mercury's higher octave Uranus is also going direct, and this is super stimulating -- great for collaborating with like minds. A worthy focus, then, is to continue clearing, to create an atmosphere for a bounty of choice.Some Suggestions:
- Take another look at what meditation is, and having times of meditative "doing" during the day -- See this: Meditation is Simple
- Break the iron grip of seriousness with laughter. Take time for light socializing, to boost your spirits.
- Give yourself a break, let go of what's NOT in your control.
- Go on periodic media fasts.
- Take a less is more approach with emails and blog posts to free up mental space (and time).

And thank you for this, dearest Molly – so very helpful. As is your first piece. I have Venus in Gemini, and what you write is so spot on for me.

Hello Liz, have a great week – thanks for your valued input.

Continuation of Ely's from graymatter-com
by hpetterson
About midday the rain stops, the clouds disperse, and the sun leaks through in all too brilliantly visible of rays. If I didn't know better I would think things are looking up. But natural beauty has a way of blinding us to the darkness hovering behind its mask. Or so I've learned through years of frightening observation.
I glance toward my watch and find that I have approximately four hours twenty three minutes and nineteen seconds remaining of my life. Eighteen seconds. Seventeen. Sixteen. The countdown began only this morning, a mere six hours ago when my reality came head to head with my dreams. Really, I knew this day was coming long ago. I had seen it clearly and repetitively since my thirteenth birthday; the city illuminated with the shine born from streetlamps and puddles of rain and my body, bloodied and cold with death, slumped against the Red Panda's dumpster.
I can't claim that the absurdity of my gift has not plagued me since its arrival—the question of why—why be given such impeccable foresight if you aren't meant to change the outcome? Truth is, I know why, this morning's meeting only proved my theory correct.
"Have a seat there junior." He said as I entered the booth.
"So…are you the guy?" I said looking at the guy who was dressed like a bum, unshaven and smelling like whiskey.
"For your needs…yes I am the guy…but not I'm not the…the big guy." He brought up a pint that was wrapped in a paper bag and took a sip.
"I was expecting someone more…more…ah finished looking."
"Listen up Hemmingway I got all the time in the world…you got what four and a half hours?"
A waitress walked up and looked at the guy across from me and said. "Excuse me sir…you can't drink that in here…you'll have to either leave of throw it away."
"Listen Lisa…your two kids are cute…leave me alone, and I leave them alone…you don't want little Tommy breaking his left arm again." He looks at me and smiles.
"How did you know…" She turns and scurries off.
He was here to bargain for my life and I was holding jack shit.
He must be from the nether regions…for every action there is an equal reaction…the fact I had been dealt four and a half hours to live must mean that there was something just as powerful working for me.

Union's vision for the academic experience states that "Union College helps students make learning connections, with a well-qualified faculty that collaborate and cooperate across traditionally separate disciplinary lines. Intellectual and ethical development, plus the ability to make meaningful choices and informed decisions, is nurtured through a variety of on- and off-campus learning experiences."
This vision guided the careful crafting of Union's core curriculum - a curriculum that challenges each student to develop a life philosophy, that enables members of the faculty to significantly improve student learning, and that intentionally seeks to produce graduates who see being educated as a quality of mind, not simply an accumulation of facts.
Union's core contributes toward the nurturing of a graduate whose personal integrity, intellectual aptitude and responsible citizenship mark him or her as a Union graduate.

Young Edmund Halley was home-schooled for many years until he entered Saint Pauls School. He did very well in school and got into college when he was 17. He attended Queen's College Oxford. He was already an expert astronomer and owned a lot of astronomy equipment, which were purchased for him by his father.
During college, Edmund Halley worked with the Astronomer Royal, John Flamsteed, and the Royal Observatory in Greenwich. He catalogued many of the stars which can be seen from the southern hemisphere (the southern half of the Earth), while Flamsteed worked on the northern stars.
He did a lot of other great things in his life, but he is best known for figuring something out about some comets.
People had seen comets in the years 1456, 1531, 1607, and 1682. After studying records about these comets, Edmund Halley figured out that they were all the same comet, whose orbit carried it back again every 75 or 76 years. Some people did not believe him when he said that this comet would come back in 1758.
Edmund Halley died on January 14, 1742 in Greenwich, England, which is also near London. He did not get to see the comet come back in 1758, like he said it would. He also did not know that people named the comet after him.

Fifty years on, who was our best prime minister?Franklin Johnston
Let the record show our Usain "mash up" London and at £200 per minute to see him, good value. Then on Flag Day her Excellency Aloun spoke movingly, was feted by the diaspora at the 02 Arena - sport and state did us proud. But the British are sobering fast - so should we - as their economy is in a dark place. Since we are in a competition mood, have some fun with another one. Who was the best PM?
The Empire gave us the Victoria Jubilee Hospital (VJH) - Queen Victoria's - on her 50th; so Parliament's Independence Jubilee gift to us is what? Some say 50 years is nothing to a nation. Not true! Today 50 years is long. In 50 Germany went from shambles to superpower. Iceland, Ireland, Greece rose and fell and we saw Botswana rise and rise. Trinidad retooled its industry in 10. Singapore prospered in 20. What's our excuse? We left Federation the rich nation going places but by the 70s, despite bauxite and tourism, we were in trouble. A prime minister's mission is peace and prosperity for his people - no prosperity, no peace - as we know so well. We had better prime ministers than our peers but the best is who did best. We had no unusual resource or people problems so it must be our leaders.
Jamaica has been a brand since Columbus. Wars were fought over us as archives of Portugal, Spain and France show, and entertainers and athletes keep the brand alive. We had PMs with charisma: finance wizards, orators, and in Europe, Africa and Arabia we watched Michael expound his theories on TV. No other PM made global TV in his own right. We saw no Barbados PM on foreign TV, yet they prospered their nation. Portia is now our hope; she can, she has to do it; she is woman; let's keep her feet to the fire! So who was the best? Let's agree on a few things.
First, we separate the work of our Independence fathers from the work of prime ministers after. Black people replaced white people in banks as Manley's and Bustamante's legacy. What is the legacy of post-1962 PMs? Barbados' leaders gave them free education and prosperity. We got what? We fiddled with 70/30, Common Entrance, GSAT, student loan and make lists of achievements which mean squat. Should the PNP and JLP apologise for our sub-par 50 years?
Second, we eliminate those of short tenure or whose tenure was flawed. Donald Sangster was a good man; he served and died in office. Hugh Shearer handled power well. Bruce Golding lost his way. Andrew Holness started badly, but is a better man than he has shown us so far - he has time. Portia Simpson Miller is all heart and hard work. We need her brand of activism to get us motivated and on track. She is a work in progress and her judgement is in the future.
Third, what does the job of a PM require? If you are a typist, at a minimum you should type well. OK? What's basic for a sitting PM? At a minimum, he should ensure food, health care, education, safety for all. Agree? Don't include human rights, as some nations had laws against assembly and anti-social acts to propel people to work or restrict unions and build prosperity. In Singapore or Turkey (a sleeping giant which we should embrace and explore), crops are in fields yet no thief dare touch them - so great is the force of community opprobrium and law; no windshield washer or vagrant survives and property is safe. Should we too?
Fourth, we need some positive criteria to rate a PM. So let's use these: (a) Timeless contribution (b) Growth-social, economic, psychic (c) Major infrastructure gains (d) Innovation (e) An exemplary life. So which if any of our prime ministers fit these criteria?
One caveat is be wary of PMs who are alive as they can spin the past in their writings or speeches and condition us to revisionist views of their past acts and omissions. A living PM has influence and an unfair advantage. So who was the best prime minister in the class of 1962 to 2012?
PJ Patterson was our most understated and natural leader - not an exhibitionist. Michael's drama was a hard act to follow and so some misread him, but he was formidable in his own right, professional, easy of address and a consummate political strategist. On his watch, all communications - roads to telecoms - leaped into the 21st century and a seed called education transformation was sown and grows apace.
Edward Philip George Seaga was an astute, able PM. He knew you had to break eggs to make an omelette and God knows he tried. He had the tough love to build our nation, but the politics defeated him. On his watch many development institutions were imported, installed and brought us level with other nations.
Michael Manley was passionate and beloved. He rekindled the social democrat ethos of the original PNP with a vengeance. But the policies which worked in Britain in the 40s as payback to the masses who gave their lives in war had little traction. Michael got no buy-in from capital and the masses were not as conscious, so he was not as viable as Lord Beveridge or Castro. Still, he proved our masses respond to leaders who inspire them. Portia can and we say "Go for it" and "May the force be with you, Madam!"
Alexander Bustamante was our action hero; well-travelled and intuitive. A high brown man who exposed his chest to a group of black policemen under a white inspector in colonial times was in no danger of being shot. No governor would dare, given the legal fallout of GW Gordon's killing for Governor Eyre. But it was a bold tactic and good theatre - love it! He knew the psyche of the masses - impeccable politics. Still, he should have embedded good practice post-independence - he did not. He belittled the islands; he did not copy Trinidad or Barbados' free education or their prudent currency policies. His gaze was to the North, "We are with the West" was his mantra and to this day we are behind our regional peers.
Norman Manley was a modest intellectual giant, a man of and for the people, thoughtful not populist. He died poorer than when he started - an accolade for a politician! Politics was his service, not his job. He formed a party to oppose colonial overlords, not to win elections, and he articulated the aspirations of all our people. His mantras are current to this day and they can take us into a prosperous future.
As we start another 50 years we need inspiration. NW Manley can provide it. The PNP should be big enough to free him for national service and the JLP generous enough to embrace him without equivocation. Manley, as his cousin Bustamante, fought for Independence as nationalists. Manley is our Maceo, our Marti, our Ataturk and our Jefferson. Their factions gave them up to be national icons; their quotes and pictures adorn public spaces and inspire all citizens. Parliament should empower Sir Patrick to convene an elite committee - Portia, Andrew, Bruce, PJ, Eddie and install NW Manley - visionary, framer of Independence and decent man as "Father of the Nation". He is the one who articulated a philosophy which may unite us to make our nation prosperous by 2025. Stay conscious, my friend!
Dr Franklin Johnston is a strategist, project manager and advises the minister of education.

Shakeology Review
Make The Step And Try SHAKEOLOGY Today!
The Delicious Nutrient Dense Green Shake Break-Down
I can't wait to share with you about this amazing product Shakeology. Here's my breakdown review of Shakeology. Shakeology is a complete weight loss system that includes a the highly nutrient dense delicious tasting shakes in either GreenBerry or Chocolate flavor, two exercise DVDs and an easy well laid out eating plan. When the whole-food shake is taken as directed and a person commits to a balanced diet and consistent exercise, he or she will be able to lose a noticeable amount of weight safely. Especially when Shakeology is used as a meal replacement shake. Shakeology certified low-glicemic shakes truly provides your body what it's starving for and they are delicious!
What Exactly Is Shakeology?
Shakeology is a non-gmo, whole-food, whey protein shake that contains an insane amount of hi-grade nutrients. Low in calories, Shakeology goes right to work and reduces the urges of hunger while providing your body with the nutrients that you truly need. No other shake on the market today does this. Most of the alternatives to Shakeology contain artificial sweeteners like aspartame (very dangerous), phenylalanine (very dangerous) and high-fructose corn syrup (very dangerous). There's more…like what type of protein used and how its derived…this matters! I will post an in-depth honest breakdown of types of protein used the popular shake products and explain why Shakeology only uses the best non-gmo whey protein. I know your health is important to you and this is why I am so excited about Shakeology, the perfect meal replacement shake! The Green Shakes are safe,natural and non-gmo…No bad artificial sweeteners (junk) here. Many diet plans require that individuals cut back on particular foods and sometimes even entire food groups. This results in dieters not getting the nutrients that they need. Consequently, they often times feel sluggish and short tempered. They may even have trouble concentrating. None of these "symptoms" occur with Shakeology! The amazing shakes both the GreenBerry and Chocolate is chock full of nutrients and thus people absolutely will not experience the sluggishness and lack of concentration that this world demands to stay ahead of the game. Accompany these delicious shakes with a balanced diet; you will be quickly on your way, in a noticeable short time, to a whole healthy body and mind.
Make The Step And Try SHAKEOLOGY Today!
The Shakeology shake can be utilized as a meal replacement for weight-loss or consumed to ensure that a person gets the nutrients that one needs to optimally support their healthy active lifestyle. As we mentioned above, the green whole-food shakes is one part of the easy Shakeology system. There is also an amazingly easy well laid out eating plan, recipes included. The Shakeology solution includes a set of great DVDs, one that is 30 minutes in length and another is 50 minutes. Beachbody suggests that individuals exercise at least three times a week using the DVDs in order to experience optimal results. I must tell you I easily did it and I feel great. I have more energy, think clearer, toned my body and absolutely shed the pounds! I feel like a kid again…what I mean is, I remember when I was a kid I would literally spring out of bed in the morning ready to run and play all day. Well I'm here to tell you I wake in the morning energized to tackle the world.
Why Do I Need Shakeology?
Shakeology is a good plan for those looking for a green whole-food shake with out having to buy loads of vegetables, etc, and spend the time involved trying to make a green shake that in the end will not be as nutrient dense and delicious as Shakeology shakes. Beachbody has done their homework and the evidence is quite obvious, Shakeology is a nutrient dense large salad in a glass loaded with the best whey protein! Shakeology gives this all to you and more is just a matter of a couple of minutes! Where can you get high quality non-gmo green vegetables, aminos, trace minerals, non-gmo whey protein and certified low-glicemic power packed product in a glass? Only Shakeology provides this to you. Many diet plans are extremely severe and require that individuals significantly cut back on the types of food that they eat. While weight loss will certainly require persons to eat less of those foods that contain a lot of fat (fast-food), sugar, salt and calories, it is rarely necessary that an individual give up all of those foods. Shakeology only requires that individuals replace one meal a day (I replace two meals a day) with the patent-pending great tasting shake, consume a balanced diet and minimal exercise. This is a healthy approach to weight loss and one that I know you will be able to embrace, because from the start you begin to feel better and energized.
Make The Step And Try SHAKEOLOGY Today!
What Are The Benefits of Shakeology?
The Shakeology solution has numerous benefits. Individuals who follow the easy plan more than likely find that their cholesterol levels are lowered (my cholesterol lowered in just two days!), and shed those extra pounds and inches that have likely been driving you crazy.
An independent, 90 day study on those who followed the Shakeology plan (participants consumed the shake, exercised three times a week and ate a balanced diet) found that on average, participants lost 10 pounds and 2 inches from their waist. Many also experienced increased levels of energy and improved digestions. Some even saw their bad cholesterol levels decrease by 38%.

Slow Cooked Ribs and Root Beer BBQ sauce
Ordinarily, I would make ribs in the oven. They would be seasoned, sauced, wrapped tightly in foil and baked long hours at a low temperature until the meat was falling-off-the-bone tender. I am not thrilled with the heat that this generates in my kitchen, butt the only real problem I see with this method is that it renders my oven unavailable to other baked goods. ... Read More »

It's a good sign when the things you make turn out to look just like the pictures. It's also a good sign when it tastes as good as it looks. This recipe from Bon Appetit caught my interest in an article about great barbeque. I only made the glaze, instead of additionally marinating the chicken, and used it on both chicken and grilled eggplant slices. ... Read More »

One of the best uses for fresh tomatoes is pasta sauce. This is particularly true when you have a jungle-like "garden" of tomato plants threatening to take over your yard. Pick the tomatoes, wash them, toss them in salads, sandwiches, soups and anything else you can think of. The problem is that these plants produce a lot of tomatoes. Recipes that use multiple tomatoes are ... Read More »
Grilled Pizza
Given the heat wave that some of us are experiencing now that summer is upon us, outdoor cooking is looking much more appealing than it usually does. It's only logical: to avoid heating up your kitchen by cooking indoors, you just stand in front of a 500 degree grill outside where it's already hot. Plus, I don't really want to turn on my oven and ... Read More »

Ladies and gentlemen, I must confess that I have a problem. I am, perhaps, overly fond of risotto.

I cannot recall why I originally bought leeks, but inspiration struch when I peered into my ... Read More »
Flour Tortillas
At first I did not believe that it is impossible to make a great pizza in a conventional oven on a baking sheet. After all, I have made pizzas this way many times.

I've had arugula before, but I have never personally cooked with it. As it happned, I have some growing in my yard this spring.
