Valerie Harper was born on August 22nd, 1939 in Suffern, New York born to parents Iva and Howard Donald Harper. Due to her fathers type of work, her family relocated all over about every two years causing her to attend a number of different schools.
Her career in entertainment began working as a dancer with the corps de ballet at Radio city Hall. Soon she was working as a stage actress and also joined a comedy troupe in Chicago.
In the 1950's and 1960's she began working on Broadway with her stage debut in the musical, "Li'l Abner". After some experience on Broadway, Harper felt she was ready to try working as a television actress and moved to Los Angeles, California in 1968.
Some of her more well known roles were on "Mary Tyler Moore" (1970) and "Rhoda" (1974). She also made appearances on such television movies as, "Farrell for the People" (1982), "Don't Go To Sleep" (1982) and "An Invasion of Privacy" (1983).
She also earned a name for herself as a film actress with roles on, "Chapter Two" (1979), "The Last Married Couple in America" (1980) and "Freebie and the Bean" (1974) for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe for "New Star of the Year" in 1974.
For her work on "Mary Tyler Moore" Harper has won four Emmy Awards as well as a Golden Globe Award. She is also well known as being a very strong supporter of woman's rights, being involved in the Women's Liberation Movement throughout the 1970's and 1980's. Valerie ran for President of the Screen Actors Guild in 2001, but lost to Melissa Gilbert, however she serves on the Hollywood Board of Directors of SAG.
She has married twice throughout her lifetime. First to Richard Schaal from 1964 through 1978. Valerie then married her second and current husband, Tony Cacciotti in 1987 and together they have one child who they adopted, Cristina who is also a working actress. Her latest roles are playing, Terri Hatcher's aunt on the television drama, "Desperate Housewives" and on, "Fixing Pete" (2011).

Driveby observation on acronyms and initialisms
|June 5, 2014
|Posted by Jenica under I amuse myself, Libraries
Three SUNY groups came up in a meeting this morning: The SUNY Council of Library Directors The SUNY Moodle Users Group The SUNY Chief Academic Officers When you treat them as initialisms, they become, respectively in our communal awareness, SCLD, SMUG, and "the CAOs". If you read them aloud as acronyms, instead, they become "scold", "smug", and "chaos". Man, we are just not doing ourselves any favors! We complain, as a profession, about library-specific vocabulary, and the acronym soup that plagues us, but I'm realizing that it's not just libraries — it's academia.

At CLA's Great Debate last week, library conference and blogosphere fixture Stephen Abram addressed panelist Jane Schmidt with "Jane, you ignorant slut!" You may recognize that as a famous Dan Aykroyd line from Saturday Night Live, from the 1977-78 era. And you may, additionally, be wincing at the thought that someone said that on stage. To a female panelist. At a conference. About libraries. If you are not wincing, please consider this: "slut" is a sexual slur that nearly always contains misogynistic and oppressive over- and undertones, and feels like a shaming attack when it is addressed at you.

For the past few weeks now I've been emailing back and forth with a vendor, debating terms of a license agreement. I struck several terms, both of my own volition and on recommendation from purchasing officials on my campus, and added additional SUNY-specific terms that need to be included. I've done this many times before, and usually, the vendor suggests changes to bring us to agreement, or simply agrees, and we move on.

Today we're hosting our once-each-semester liaisons' luncheon, in which we invite the faculty liaisons to the libraries to come and have a catered lunch discussion with us. We often have a multi-bullet agenda, but this spring we have one item: What to do with our collections budget? Just as I have been adamant that publishers need to change their models, I think libraries need to respond as well. We need to find our own flexibility, find ways to prioritize our own goals and needs, and be our own best allies in this struggle. So today, for an hour, I'm posing […] keep reading…

Honors alumni share an important role in the Program's intellectual community, and special efforts are made to maintain bonds with members after graduation. A number of events are planned throughout the year to invite Honors graduates back to campus and share their experiences with current members of the Program.
If you are an Honors Program alumnus and would like more information about Honors alumni events, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Research into the Honors archives show that from the very beginning Honors alumni returned at Christmas to renew their ties to the Program and meet its current students. This tradition has been revived in recent years, and has proved to be a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with old friends and make new ones as well. The Alumni Christmas Party normally coincides with Fordham's annual Festival of Lessons and Carols, a program of Christmas music and readings performed by the University choirs.
Alumni are encouraged to participate in the Honors Program's continuing conversation of ideas. In this spirit, graduates are invited to the Honors Program's Last Lecture, an event held during the spring semester of the school year.
The Honors Program hosts a special reception at Alpha House during Jubilee Weekend at Fordham University. The event celebrates the Honors graduates who have graduated in five- and ten-year intervals from Fordham.
In the fall of 2005, Honors members from past and present gathered to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the Honors Program. An article from Fordham's Alumni Magazine about the reunion is available in the Fordham Alumni Magazine, Nov 2005, Alumni Notes, pg 30.

Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (Pasadena, Calif.; www.jacobs.com) :JEC) announced today that it was awarded a contract from Codelco's Radomiro Tomic Division for sustaining capital services for its Radomiro Tomic (RT) copper mine in Calama, Antofagasta, Chile.
The three-year contract has a potential value of $27 million. With this award, Jacobs establishes an office in Calama and expands its operational presence in Chile's primary mining region in the north of the country.
Under the terms of the contract, Jacobs is providing engineering, procurement, construction management, commissioning, and start-up support for an annually approved portfolio of projects related to the current operations of Codelco's RT copper mine. RT is an oxide ore open-pit mine located approximately 1,040 miles from Santiago, Chile at over 9,800 feet above sea level in the desert area of the Andes Mountains. Its plant capacity is designed to produce 300,000 metric tons (m.t.) per year of cathode copper.
Jacobs is currently performing Phase II of the RT Sulphides Project which includes the provision of engineering services for an anticipated 200,000 m.t./d copper-molybdenum concentrator plant that processes the sulphides copper ore reserves of the RT Mine. Jacobs also performed Phase I of the RT Sulphides Project, providing EPCM services for the installation of a semi-mobile primary crushing plant at the RT Mine and an overland conveyor and coarse ore stockpile to feed the existing concentrator facilities at the nearby Chuquicamata Mine.
Codelco, the National Copper Corp. of Chile, is the world leader in copper production and is an autonomous company owned by the Chilean State.

I was in attendance at the BOE meeting on March 6, where a motion was approved by the board creating four school voting places (quadrants), which are as follows: Sousa School (mainly to accommodate Manorhaven voters), Daly School, Weber Middle School and South Salem School.
The results were most gratifying to me personally, the Concerned Citizens of Manorhaven Civic Association, the majority of the voters in Port Washington, with the Village of Manorhaven in particular. It has been the culmination of efforts by me, with the sponsorship of the Concerned Citizens of Manorhaven C.A., and the support of the General Council of Homeowner Associations of Port Washington, starting in 1993.
I am extremely thankful to all BOE members, Dr. Gordon, Mary Callahan, but especially to Board President Seiden, Nancy Cowles and Pat Foye, who appeared to be in the forefront in establishing the four voting sites (quadrants).
All Port Washington voters should be grateful for the decision by the BOE to create additional school voting sites. The hazardous traffic conditions on Campus Drive will finally be eliminated on school voting day.

In my understanding, Buddhism is a multi-cultural social education. Today, we would say that Shakyamuni Buddha was the founder of multi-cultural social education, a true social volunteer. His goal was to help sentient beings understand the true reality of life and the universe, to treat everyone equally, to co-exist harmoniously, and to live in mutual cooperation with all others.

In any given year, about one-third of American adults have at least one panic attack.
Hypnosis has had long history bringing freedom STRESS, FEAR and PANIC ATTACKS.
Once you've suffered that first attack, that fear response reinforces itself. Soon, every fearful thought releases a little trickle of adrenaline into the body. Adrenaline is the body's natural "speed". As this becomes chronic, anxiety becomes unrelenting, crippling panic. It would be like drinking five pots of coffee day after day.
In hypnosis, the suggestion turns down body's hyper-reactivity. Let hypnosis take that foot off the pedal of your panic attack or fear. Hypnosis desensitises you to these triggers so that you begin to maintain a state of calm relaxation. Self-hypnosis reinforces this new response so that calm becomes your new norm.
In fact, hypnotherapy is very effective in treating all stress-related problems. Stress reactions are physiological as well as psychological. The trigger is psychological but the response is physiological. Once patients understand this connection, the rest is easy.
You owe it to yourself to free yourself from this bondage to fear. Call today.
Call to schedule FREE consultation or Book Your Appointment now!
ANXIETY. Anxiety is a normal reaction to stress. Its purpose is to alert us to a possible threat in our lives. These signals cause physiological changes in the body.
When people suffer from chronic stress the body and brain stay in a permanently high state of arousal. The body and the brain become exhausted AND become unable to return to a resting state. You become HYPERVIGILANT, like soldier guarding the fort without sleep. If this chronic stress and anxiety lasts for too long, you have set the stage for panic attacks and phobia.
HOW DOES IT START? People have stress reactions every day. You might worry about your daughter getting home from school on time… or a report getting to the boss on schedule… or any of thousands of scary little imaginings throughout the day. Most of them are completely below your awareness would be no big deal, but stress is cumulative. You become like a bathtub with the drain plugged. Even a little drip will eventually cause the tub to overflow.
PANIC ATTACKS. Panic attacks are sudden surges of overwhelming fear that that comes without warning and without any obvious reason. It is far more intense than having anxiety or the feeling of being 'stressed out' that most people experience. One out of every seventy-five people worldwide will experience a panic attack at one time in their lives.
Though you know your feelings are irrational, your still heart pounds, your hands shake, and you feel short of breath. You are terrified but you don't know why nor what to do about it.
WHAT IS A PANIC ATTACK? A panic attack is the Fight-or-Flight-Response with the ON switch stuck on open. The ability to become very scared quickly is what kept humans alive in primitive times. When we are frightened our brain switches over to an ancient part of the brain, bypassing the logical function and connecting directly with our ability to move. It's called Emotional Hijacking and physiologically, that's exactly what happens.
With chronic stress our brains get stuck in that emotionally and physiologically hijacked state. We can no longer return to a state of calmness. The stage is set.
Your threshold has been lowered so that anything can set it off. It's kind of like a motion detection burglar alarm. If it's set too low, a breeze can trip it. And that is what a panic attack is. It is an overly sensitized response with a very, very low threshold.
Luckily we CAN retrain the brain to raise the threshold and become less sensitized to every upset. We can learn to trigger a CALM ATTACK just as we trained ourselves to trigger a PANIC ATTACK.
COMMON IRRATIONAL FEELINGS DURING PANIC. People having panic attacks often feel as if they are the only ones who have ever felt this way. The thoughts and sensations however are very similar. Here are the most common:
- I've having a heart attack
- I can't breathe
- I'm having a stroke
- I'm going to faint
- I'm having a 'nervous breakdown',
- I've lost complete control of my mind and body
- I'm going to pass out or fall down
- I'm humiliating myself; people think I'm crazy
HOW HYPNOSIS HELPS IN ANXIETY AND PANIC ATTACKS. Hypnosis has had a long and successful history treating stress, anxiety and panic attacks.
- It gives you control of racing thoughts that cause stress
- It helps you make lifestyle changes that reduce your overall stress level
- It gives you conscious and instant control over your responses
- It desensitizes you to your triggers until you have a ZERO response
- It helps you uncover and resolve past events that may also be related

FYI: HYPNOSIS IS ENDORSED BY THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY. The British Medical Association, the American Medical Association, and the National Institute of Health approve hypnosis for clinical use. Additionally, clinical hypnotherapy is used in-house at Harvard University Medical Center, Stanford University, Kaiser Permanente, UCLA, and the University of Washington Harborview Burn Center to mention only a few.

I was thinking about all of you during the holidays and reading, even though I didn't post. Christmas was nice, but on Christmas Eve I noticed our 12 year old was very sullen and moody. I had a heart-to-heart with her, and one of the things upsetting her was that she said OC had told her that "his family at his other house" (aka OW, her boyfriend and two more half-siblings each with a different Dad) said that she is "spoiled" because she got a 3DS last Christmas.
H and I both told her to pay no mind to what him or his other family have to say about our household....they don't live here. And H also talked to OC, hopefully he will not report to OW what their gifts are anymore...it's none of her damn business. Ticks me off that a supposed grown woman would gossip about a child either to or in front of OC. I'm not going to put up with someone, least of all OW, trying to make any of us feel bad for what we give to our kids.
slowly reconciling
Looking for the rainbow after the storm
He also lied about the pregnancy and the birth to me. I found out when the OC was just over a month old. Ripped my world inside out.
Why is she refusing to let him visit the children?
I am sorry you find yourself here, it feels tiring to have to start so years of child support, etc with a rude ex/ow.
I can deal with the money going out, it's the enmeshment, constant efforts the ex makes to attack our relationship.
My fiance is currently in such a state of upset and anger, he is refusing to talk to almost everyone and chose to take on extra work over the holidays outside of town so he can completely avoid everything.
Ugh I feel for you and Kallieopeia. We've all been cheated on which is an enormous hurt in itself, OC is another horrible layer, and A with an Ex is even more shit on top of that. How confusing for all the children involved! Sending hugs and strength to all.
The teenager is coping okay, it is hard to tell because she doesn't talk very much but she wants to come live with us and has wanted too before her mom even got pregnant. She also wants us to get custody of the twins. He older sister, step-father, and step-father's mother all want us to get custody of them too. Her current soon to be ex-husband had a vasectomy 8 years ago after their last child was born so he knew immediately the babies were not his. Here is the weird thing about the ExW. She has 5 children, the 1st is with her current ex-husband, 2 w/my husband, 3rd with her current ex-husband, and twins with my husband. She can't make up her mind between the two men. I hate her but I am nice to her all the time because of the children. I am constantly thinking about those twins even though I haven't been allowed to meet them yet but my husband and child have. Paternity has been established and we have a lawyer and court case open but it is slow moving. We did a non-legal binding DNA test over the summer (we purchased a DNA test off Amazon) and it was 99.99999% he was the father for both. He then filed a case to establish paternity and get custody. The exW at 1st was going to deny he was the father but then at the last minute didn't so paternity has been legally established but he hasn't been added to their birth certificates yet since the case is still on going I guess. We would like to get him added to the birth certificate asap though so they can be added to his health insurance. Right now they are on state insurance. We also want to get child support calculated and start paying now until custody is determined but she is stalling everything. We want a temporary order for visitation to begin too.
I am now 6.5 years out, and my FWH has NC with OC.
In fact, OW's new H (also a WS when OW hooked up with him), is in the process of adopting OC. It has been done relatively inexpensively (we are paying all expenses).
Sorry that you're here, but glad that you found us.
fullofhurt, I also feel for you and Kalli. I am a "second wife" (often called the "new wife", even though we've been together longer than FWH and his XW were). I cannot stand the XW. She is a disgusting human being, and if she had been the OW, it would add a whole new element of pain.
Instead, XW took it upon herself to befriend OW after FWH dumped her. They are now BFFs.
I hope this new year brings some healing and closure for everyone.
So, not really sure how to proceed from here. Is it possible she just wants to raise the baby alone, and not have to deal with custody/visitation worries? Or are we going to get a letter from a lawyer in the mail at some point? Not that I want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I actually am pissed off that she would think she can just ignore my husband when he wants to know if it's his child or not. So she gets to tell everyone he is a deadbeat... or else he fights for the right to pay child support... which just pisses me off. Seriously. I don't know what my brain is doing. What I want to do is put the fear into her that we want to fight for custody... but the truth is, we both want NC for the indefinite future.
I don't know what to do.
((plainpain)) The OW in our case used to mainly ignore communication about and contact with OC. She said we couldn't get a paternity test until the one on the first guy she named as the father was done, then after that came back negative, she said that she didn't know what she wanted to do but she wouldn't pay towards a test and she wanted her second husband to adopt OC. Then just before OC's second birthday she said she was filing for support. H then filed for custody in 2005, because would only bring OC to visit a few times a year for a couple hours at most. Then she said she wouldn't do that any longer, if H wanted to see OC then he should go to her place WITHOUT me or our kids...hell no, that was not going to happen.
The best advice I can give is to be prepared for anything...start saving what you can in case she does file for support. It is rare (though certainly possible) that OW will be willing to forego court-ordered support payments. The reason it is good to start saving money for that is that OW can ask for and/or receive retroactive support. OW wanted retroactivity to OC's birth, which would have meant 2 years of money on top of the ordered monthly payment. Fortunately we were able to fight against that because of how she filed against the other guy, but I have heard many other cases where the court will grant retroactivity.
As for knowing paternity, I can definitely empathize with how it feels to have OW play the waiting game on you and control what happens. If you and your H decide that you are okay with contact, he could try notifying her that he would like to have a discussion (in your presence, of course) about getting OC tested and making arrangements for support and custody. The drawback is that she might continue to avoid the topic and decide to file for support anyway. If that's what happens, then your H can refuse to acknowledge paternity and a test will be ordered.
Best of luck to you and all of us here
Some days are great but I have this ever consuming anger towards him he says it shouldnt matter he didnt know of OC (who is 8) until now and has no problem with NC because theres no bond. But that doesnt make me feel better because whether there is C or NC the existence of OC is very real. I cant wrap my head around it. I feel like Im crazy. I told him its over because I cant take it anymore. I feel like Im losing it. I found out about OC Jul 2013. When does the pain go away?

**If I edit I'm correcting a typo!**
I agree that OW should not be able to double-dip on support either. Please refresh my memory~ is her H still with her now and still paying support? Or is she trying to get retroactive support for the time her H was raising the child? If it is the latter, I would hope that is another instance where retroactive support would be denied.

Her H dumped her as soon as he found out he was only father to one of the kids he thought were his. According to her court paperwork she gets approx. $500 from her ex-H (because he acted as a parent, he has to pay for all the kids he "parented" when they were married even though only one is his) and another $200 from one of her other children's fathers as well. She wants support from my H aand she's requested it to be retroactive from the time he knew about OC.

I know that numbness you are feeling. It's layered over some of the deepest pain I have ever experienced. The shock I felt the day I found out about OC. God.
My fiance came back briefly after all this time, yesterday. He is mentally and emotionally exhausted. He had very little to say, and was up until 2AM. He slept for 3 hours, then got up and without hardly a word, got himself around and left again. His ex is an orthodox christian and they celebrate Christmas January 7. He is staying over tonight and maybe tomorrow night. To be there for the children.
And what about being here for me? I am sitting here alone, except for the cat. Numb and hurting at the same time, feeling abandoned and helpless. Even though I know he didn't want to go over and see his ex, he felt it is "right" to spend time with the children at Christmas. And as the ex has 100% custody, not a chance in heck of us getting them over here on such an important day.
I disagree with the overnight so much. Consolation is the ex considers herself such a pious and importantly religious woman, she will likely be on her knees in Church half the night.
And knowing my fiance, he is not exactly going to be adding any Christmas cheer after 3 hours of sleep and already angry about the situation.
All I can do is hope for peace for the children and forever in hell for exwife/ow.
Stronger and Plainpain,
I just want to say I am so sorry for the hurt and pain you are going through. I wish I had some great words of wisdom just know I am sending you hugs, strength and saying a prayer for each of you.
Tomorrow WH goes for CS hearing. I was planning on attending but both kids are out of school due to the freezing cold in Chicago. Also DD10 does not want to see OW ever! I don't even know if she will be there, but better safe than sorry. BTW DD10 has been seeing her school counselor and was told that sadly this is not unusual.(What has the world come to?) This made her feel better. She still asks question but is not nearly as angry as she was. The counselor told her not to hold her feeling in and to talk to me and her when she needs to. She also gave her some tools to deal with her anger. Had a good XMAS and just relaxed on my BDAY(12/31). WH got me a surprise cake. It was a nice gesture on his part. Resolution is just to embrace all my feeling, put myself first, and ask for what I want at all time. These are not things I did before and sadly are like learning another language.
her school counselor and was told that sadly this is not unusual
now that's just sad. I wonder how these kids (the OC's) feel when they grow up and realized the circumstances they were conceived under? Not that the OC should feel bad because they're innocent in all this -- I just wonder how they feel.
I've decided - separated or not - I will be at court with H on the court date.
**Edit to say Happy (belated) Bday Storm - glad XMAS and bday werent ruined!**

As I stated in my first column, I'm dedicated to highlighting organizations that support worthwhile causes in our local communities. The two that I'm choosing to focus on in this month's column are the Nassau Physician's Foundation (NPF) and the Friendship Circle Luncheon, both founded and run by good friends of mine.
Founded by Dr. Belha Fish, the NPF is all about community and if there's any doubt, look no further than its mission statement. "NPF exists to provide a stimulating environment for physicians who are drawing strength from their passion and who are willing to enrich each other's lives. We are partners with the community in which we live and are committed to donating our time and expertise to educational and charitable endeavors. We raise money for medical education and research and pledge to be proactive in pertinent and current health issues."
Inspired by his first unique opportunity to create an impact on the lives of people in underprivileged countries, Dr. Gerard D'Aversa continued on a second mission trip to provide vision-restoring procedures to underprivileged patients once again.
Dr. D'Aversa, a surgeon at Island Eye Surgicenter in Carle Place, completed a humanitarian mission trip to Grenada, West Indies in January. Accompanied by his 21-year-old son Jerry Jr. and surgical technician Kadrian Tobias of Brooklyn, Dr. D'Aversa preformed cornea transplants and cataract surgeries on long awaited patients on the small island.
When Janet Fine first moved to Great Neck, she looked forward to setting up a bird feeder and watching cardinals, chickadees and finches enjoy tidbits.
But there was a problem, and it was birds' worst enemies—cats, and worse yet, feral cats at that.
"Along with the birds, I noticed a few stray cats without collars and thought, 'maybe they're hungry too' and so I started putting out some food for them … And then later, I noticed that one of the cats was getting really plump. I was so ignorant that it took me a while to figure out that she was pregnant."
I know a place that's stuffed with scientific brilliance. World-class research labs. Universities. Medical schools. Cutting-edge hospitals that are the envy of the planet. Aerospace engineers. Software companies, including one of the industry's largest independents. And an up-and-coming generation that this year alone took 53 of the 300 spots nationwide in the Intel Science Talent Search.
I am speaking, of course, of Long Island. And despite the recent news from Northrop Grumman that 850 high-paying, high-tech jobs are leaving Bethpage, Nassau and Suffolk counties remain a science and technology powerhouse.
Yet tell people in other parts of the country where you're from, and many more will mention Joey Buttafuoco than our numerous Nobel laureates.
For the past 16 years, I have been the publisher of Anton Community Newspapers. My mission was and continues to be focusing on our local communities, tell their stories and help by supporting worthwhile causes. The Long Island Social Diary will do just that. Each month with this column, I'll be focusing on all the good things we can all get involved with to help each other. The column will feature charities and events all geared toward supporting good causes in and around our communities.
The charity kicking off this inaugural column also happens to be the first charity I ever got personally involved with—EAC (the Education and Assistance Corporation). My dear friend Phyllis Kreitman introduced me to Hilary Hartung, the now-retired Assistant Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations for EAC.

FREDERICK, Md. (AP) - An inmate at the Frederick County jail is accusing a fellow inmate of assaulting him.
The Frederick News-Post reports (http://bit.ly/192QYYI ) that Marcus Anthony Dutton alleges that he required surgery after being struck in the face last month by a man who was in a cellblock with him.
Dutton filed an application for a statement of charges on Nov, 22, and a District Court commissioner placed charges against Curtis Alexander Brown that day.
Maryland's District Court permits citizens to file applications for charges against each other. District Court commissioners then determine whether there's probable cause for charges based on the statement of facts.
Brown's public defender asked a judge to lower Brown's bail, arguing that correctional officers didn't bring charges against either man. The judge denied the request.

Brylcreem mulls swapping Pietersen for Mad Men
Brylcreem is reviewing its strategy of using sport stars in its advertising, throwing its commercial relationship with cricket star Kevin Pietersen in doubt.
Brylcreem: currently features Kevin Pieterson as brand ambassador
Pietersen has been the brand's 'Brylcreem Boy' since 2009, following a line of other sportsmen who have fronted the brand, including David Beckham. In the 1960s, England cricketer Denis Compton fronted the brand's advertising.
Pietersen's deal is thought to be worth £2m over two years.
A spokesman for the brand told The Mail on Sunday: "We have used sport in the past and it's not the case that we definitely won't use sports people again.
"We're reviewing the plans, and since 'Mad Men', we are looking at that kind of brand ambassador, too. There is no urgency."
Last year, Brylcreem launched a limited-edition, cricket-themed pack to coincide with the start of the winter's Ashes Test series in Australia.
The red cricket ball-shaped tub, created by Echo, carried Pietersen's signature and contained a new product called Brylcreem Paste.Follow @johnreynolds10

Snowmobiles in Yellowstone ó Déja vu?
By Drusha Mayhue
The long awaited draft Supplemental EIS (SEIS) on the fate of snowmobiling in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks has been released. There is a 100-day public comment period that ends May 29, 2002. A final decision on Yellowstone's future is due in November 2002.
ďWhat,Ē you say. ďSeems like weíve been through this before and those pesky snowmobiles in the park will soon be history.Ē Well, we did, butÖ
The snowmobile manufacturers and the state of Wyoming sued the Park Service challenging the decision to ban snowmobiles in the Park. The International Snowmobile Manufacturers Association (ISMA) claimed to have new information about snowmobiles that was not included in the earlier decision by the National Park Service. The Bush Administration, rather than defending the National Park Serviceís decision, caved in to the threat of lawsuit and reopened the decision-making process, thus creating a supplemental EIS on the use of snowmobiles in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
After receiving scoping comments this past summer in response to the settlement agreement, the National Park Service found that ďSnowmobile manufacturers have failed to provide any useful information about new technologies that they claim should alter a decision to end snowmobiling in Yellowstone National Park.Ē John Sacklin, chief of park planning in Yellowstone, says new information has been scant at best.
Even Mike Finley, former superintendent of Yellowstone National Park, said in June 2001 that not only are traditional two-stroke snowmobiles too loud and dirty to be used in the park, the recently developed four-stroke machines that run more quietly and cleanly still aren't good enough. "Cleaner is not clean. Quieter is not quiet," he said. Even the new snowmobiles "would not adequately protect Yellowstone National Park."
Pull out your pen and paper and write another letter in support of phasing out snowmobiles in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. Among your comments be sure to include:
The snowmobile industry has produced no new evidence that would change the basis on which the Park Service's original decision was made: that continued snowmobile use in the parks will result in more noise, dirtier air, and more stress to wildlife.
The alternative backed by the snowmobile industry would put three times more carbon monoxide and seven times more hydrocarbons into the air of the parks than snowcoach access would produce.

One Reason to Live: Conversations About Music with Julius Nil
One Reason to Live: Conversations About Music with Julius Nil
|Seth Kim-Cohen
|Release Date:
|Errant Bodies Press
The Blindfold Test is one of the most surefire interviewing devices known to music journalism. Developed in the 1940s by the jazz magazine Down Beat, the concept is simple: play the subject a series of recordings, have them figure out whats playing, and then let discussion ensue. The Wire--the British avant-music magazine, not the HBO series--has done this especially well; under the name Invisible Jukebox, it tailors the tracks to the interviewees history and background, yielding the magazines most consistently readable feature.
Seth Kim-Cohen further tweaked the blindfold blueprint for Londons Resonance FM. A musician (in the bands Number One Cup and the Fire Show), sound artist whos exhibited at Londons Tate Modern, and lecturer at Yales art school, Kim-Cohen hosted One Reason to Live under the alias Julius Nil from February 2004 to April 2005. On each episode, a different guest played one piece of music he or she held dear and spent the remainder of the hour discussing it with the host. Those transcripts make up this book, and like the best of The Wires Jukeboxes, they go further into--and away from--the songs than most journalism, or even criticism, tends to allow.
Most of the subjects and their choices stay close to The Wires usual suspects, actually: Ocean of Sound author David Toop discusses ambient pioneer Harold Budd; jazz saxophonist Ken Vandermark picks Louis Armstrongs "West End Blues"; Ben Watson, author of a couple of Frank Zappa books, picks "Andy" from Zappas 1975 album One Size Fits All. But while the conversations generally stay focused on the music, theyre seldom jargony--Kim-Cohen admits, while discussing his own choice, the Birthday Partys "Mutiny in Heaven," that he has "a very limited grasp of theory"--and usually they range into more general territory.
Thats where the meat of many of the interviews lies. The personal favorite is Andrew McGettigan, who runs the London conference series NOISETHEORYNOISE. He uses Schneider TM and Kpt. Michigans "The Light 3000," an electro-pop version of the Smiths "There Is a Light That Never Goes Out," as a jump-off into the way cover songs do and dont work, as well as insightful offhand analyses of the emotional pull of particular recording technique, and of Prince: "I Would Die 4 U . . . expresses an emotion not too many miles away from There Is a Light, but at the same time being much more sexual. And in some ways, the decision, as an adolescent music listener, is whether you find the one who seems closest to you or the one that seems furthest away, the most escapist. Perhaps this Schneider TM version is the nearest equivalent we have to a Prince cover version of There Is a Light."
Kim-Cohen is clearly talking with friends, though a couple of times he basically chides his guests about their picks: see Vandermark on Armstrong, or John Parish on Tom Pettys "American Girl." Still, Kim-Cohens genuine enthusiasm gives the project its push. He seeks to understand, even if he doesnt always.

Thomson wins South African National Championships
Jay Thomson today became the new South African National road champion after winning the elite championships in Nelspruit. Louis Meintjes won the under 23 category after the two Team MTN-Qhubeka p/b Samsung riders attacked what was left of the main field with 35 kilometres to go.
A big group formed behind to bring the dangerous move back but the chase was in vain as Thomson and Meintjes crossed the finish line together to win the championships.
"There are no words that can describe what it means to be the South African National Champion," Thomson said after the finish. "It feels like a weight has been taken off my shoulders. I am really excited about it and can't be happier. I can't wait to have the jersey on my back on Wednesday in Tirreno-Adriatico.
"I can't not name one of my teammates today. They were just super strong. We were hoping that one of us would get away and other teams would chase and if it got brought back we'd attack again. When I saw Louis go up the road I attacked up one of the steep sections and got across to him as I sensed that was the moment in the race. With the two of us being in the top four of the time trial on Thursday, we knew we had the legs to take it to the finish," he said smiling.
The gold medal for Thomson follows his silver he won in the individual time trial on Thursday. Today's result means double gold for Meintjes after he won the under 23 category in the time trial on Thursday.
"Our feeder team [MTN-Qhubeka World Cycling Centre Africa] made the race really hard on the first two laps," Meintjes said. "We planned to make it hard on the third lap so on the last little uphill section, I went and got away and shortly after Jay came across and we just stayed away. Our plan worked pretty well. It's just amazing to have the jersey in the team. The way we rode today shows we have incredible depth in the team and we are all very happy," the 21 year old concluded.
Thomson will fly to Italy tonight where he will line up in Tirreno-Adriatico on Wednesday. This will be the first timeever that an African team lines up in a WorldTour event.

Protesters picket Oak Park rental firm
BY MAUDLYNE IHEJIRIKA Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com December 13, 2012 9:08PM
People of Disability Rights Action Coalition for Housing, Metropolitan Tenants Organization and Progress Center for Independent Living picket against Oak Park Apartments that will not rent to Housing Voucher holders on Thursday, December 13, 2012. Picketers display their signs for drivers to see. I Stacie Scott~Sun-Times Media
Updated: January 15, 2013 11:33AM
The protesters chanted and marched — some of the disabled in wheelchairs, others rolling oxygen tanks — on a normally quiet block Thursday in west suburban Oak Park.
"Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Source of income discrimination has got to go!," they chanted.
They were picketing the offices of property management firm Oak Park Apartments, and its policy of not renting to Section 8 tenants — typically the low-income or disabled.
This landlord, the housing activists charged, was an example of why an amendment to the Cook County Human Rights Ordinance was needed. The ordinance, which prohibits discrimination against source of income, exempts Section 8 from such protection.
"They've dismantled public housing for thousands and thousands of people, and the enhanced vouchers they're giving people, suburban areas and counties won't accept," said Terence Simms of the Metropolitan Tenants Organization.
"This particular landlord says they have too many Section 8. We know what that means."
An amendment to the ordinance protecting Section 8 was introduced earlier this year before the Cook County Board. Lacking support to pass, it waits to be called to vote.
"President [Toni] Preckwinkle is a sponsor on it. She does support it," said Kristen Mack, spokeswoman for the county board president.
A City of Chicago ordinance already prohibits discrimination against Section 8 voucher holders.
The Illinois Association of Realtors is fighting extending that to the suburbs.
The principles at Oak Park Apartments, brothers Bill and Bob Planek, said they have issue with the program's management — not voucher holders. In suburban Cook County, the Housing Choice Voucher program is run by Housing Authority of Cook County (HACC).
"The agreements they make us sign are one-sided, and we don't like them," Bill Planek said. "The contract is between the landlord, tenant and housing authority. Say you violate your lease. I give you a notice. If you don't correct the violation, HACC ends the contract. Suddenly it's just you and the tenant. They can cancel a 12-month lease within 30 days. From a business standpoint, why would you want to go in for that?"
HACC Executive Director Richard Monocchio, however, called the complaint "ridiculous."
"In terms of violators, we want those folks off the program as much as landlords. The onus is on the landlord to begin the eviction process because HACC cannot," he said.
"There's a lot of this type of talk, 'HACC is cumbersome.' The real issue is certain landlords don't want to rent to certain people because of their socioeconomic status."

Why the change? When Computers in Classrooms was launched in 2001, the title was, believe it or not, cutting edge. At that time, most schools had a central computer suite but few, or even no, computers in individual classrooms. Well, in just over a dozen years, not only has that picture changed, technology is in the hands of individual students to an extent that was inconceivable back then. Even the word "computers" looks rather old-fashioned these days, given the proliferation of tablets and other kinds of technology.
So, we hope that the new title "Digital Education" will address this issue.
Digital Education replaces the long-standing Computers in Classrooms

Dr. Everette Lee May, Professor of Pharmacology & Toxicology, Virginia
Commonwealth University died on Aug. 9, 2008 at the age of 94. He was
born Aug. 1, 1914, in Timberville, Va., the son of Lee and Ida
Hinegardner May. At Bridgewater College, he lettered in football,
basketball and baseball, and majored in chemistry and minored in
mathematics. Dr. May went on to earn his doctorate at the University
of Virginia in 1939.
When scientists first began looking at drugs derived from opium
("opiates"), they were interested in identifying drugs that would be
good painkillers, but would not lead to patients' becoming addicted to
the drug -- a problem with codeine and morphine.
In 1929, Dr. Lyndon F. Small established the Drug Addiction
Laboratory, the ancestor of today's LMC. Seeking to create painkillers
which would not cause addiction, Small studied and modified the
morphine molecule and related opium products. This work was based on
the assumption that the drug's effects were directly related to its
molecular structure. Small's assumption proved correct. Metopon, a
potent opiate painkiller, was among his most notable contributions.
With metopon, partial separation of the painkilling effects from the
undesired addictive property was at last achieved. This finding was
the underpinning of much research that continues today into a total
separation of painkilling and addictive effects.
Dr. Nathan Eddy evaluated Small's compounds for their painkilling
effectiveness and potential to be addictive, and Dr. Clifton
Himmelsbach conducted the first clinical tests with these drugs in
human subjects. Early studies on metopon showed it produced a less
severe addiction than morphine and other opiates. This finding
encouraged scientists to hope that the addictive side effect could be
further separated from the painkilling action.
Dr. Everette May and Dr. Eddy worked to develop opiates that relieved
pain without the potential for abuse and to discover synthetic
substitutes for opiates--called opioids. Based on May's work on
benzomorphans, the drug pentazocine was introduced in the 1960s.
Pentazocine was the first drug used in clinical practice as a
painkiller which combined the pain-relieving effects of morphine with
the effects of opiate antidote. Such drugs are called mixed
agonists-antagonists because they produce some opiate effects while
blocking the opiate effects of other drugs. But pentazocine was not as
effective as morphine for severe pain, and produced hallucinations at
higher doses.
The drug buprenorphine was developed using the agonist-antagonist
construct. It is a promising drug for the detoxification of heroin
addicts because it produces less intensive withdrawal symptoms, is
relatively non-toxic, and can be used by outpatients. It is also being
studied as a therapy for individuals dependent on cocaine.

Since May is Children's Mental Health Month, a children's counselor spoke to us about the warning signs your child may have a mental disability.
She focused specifically on very young children, mostly pre-schoolers.
Here are some warning signs you can look out for:
- They sound and act excessively angry.
- They are sleep disturbances.
- At times they cannot be calmed down/inconsolable/wound up or tuned up.
- They are unable to engage or spend time focusing on play/bizarre types of play.
- Sometimes language and motor skill delays are the result of excess stress.
