Global warming is devastating the climate. The polar ice caps are melting.
In a desperate attempt at preservation, the governments of the world have removed vast sections of the Arctic and Antarctic and set them inside huge domes across the world. The Doctor and Martha arrive in Snowglobe 7 in the Middle East, hoping for peace and relaxation. But they soon discover that it's not only ice and snow that has been preserved beneath the Dome.
While Martha struggles to help with an infection sweeping through the holidaymakers, the Doctor discovers an alien threat that has lain hidden since the last ice age. A threat that is starting to thaw.

Last week we shared last week about a woman in Michigan paying off three random layaway tabs at her local K-Mart. As her story spread, many other people stepped up to help out local families in need. One shopper paid $1200 to help half a dozen people who were about to lose their items due to late payments. Another family visited their local Goodwill store and handed out Christmas cards filled with money to people in line. When the envelopes ran out, they started paying for all of the other shoppers'...

text: In my nutrition workshops I rather go on about how the quality of the food we eat is important for not only its taste but also its capacity to optimise health. For many ingredients that means the finest fresh and raw ingredients available to us. However, fresh and raw isn't always available, or even desirable. For example, in the winter I'd rather use a tin of ruby red Italian tomatoes for a sauce than fresh but utterly insipid tomatoes, chosen from a chilly supermarket pyramid. And, do you forgo a last-minute lip-tingling curry for lack of fresh lime leaves and lemongrass? Of course not. So, without apology I give you my store-cupboard staples, ostensibly for those undergoing treatment for cancer, but really it's for anyone.

Little Black Dress Arms Video
Teri Ann shows you how to create the perfect arms for your formal wear so you can feel your best in that little black dress.
Hi, guys. I'm Terry Anne with Exercise TV and this is your little black dress arms workout. I've created 10 of my favorite upper body exercises to help you feel confident in your little black dress 'cause I know in college you have a lot of formals that you need to dress up for and I want you feeling great. We're gonna start off with some standing exercises. You're gonna do 15 reps of each of the standing exercises. Now we all know what biceps curl is, number 1, it's just a regular biceps curl but you're gonna think about squeezing the muscle at the top. Think of where you think about squeezing biceps because then you will contract and just a little bit harder. Number 2, you're gonna flip your palms to the back of the room and you're gonna give me a front raise squeezing the top of your shoulders just like that dropping your shoulders away from your ears. You have a front raise. Number 3, you're gonna give me a lateral raise. Dropping your shoulder blades down your back, you come up and down, keeping your shoulders away from your ears work in the middle part of your shoulders. Number 4, put in an all together you just have one big shoulder full circle, just like that. Number 5, you bend your arms and at 90 degrees. It's just like we did with the lateral raise only this time your arms do a little bit bent working just a little bit harder to the shoulders. You're gonna hold it up. Number 6, is just the arm kick out. Kick your arms out and bring them back to in. Kick them out and in. Now this time I want you to think about squeezing your triceps it's also working your shoulders. But if you're really focus on your triceps you really squeeze that muscle. You're gonna put your weights down, come down to the floor. Number 7, is the regular push-up. We all know what that is, only I'm gonna change the tempo just a little bit. We're really focusing on the chest now. You're gonna give me 3 counts down, 1 count up. Just like this, 3, 2, 1 push through the chest. 3, 2, 1. one more time, 3, 2, 1 and push up. So your chest is pushed, you've gonna be burning after that. You're gonna need 8 of those and then we're gonna do a crossing push ups. I'll show you, come up, feet or hip feet width apart. You're gonna come in for diagonal. Give me one push up, cross over. One push up, cross over. One push up, and cross over. Just like that. So that's gonna focus on your chest just as little bit more because when you have to push off the floor, you're working just a little bit harder through the chest. We have 2 more exercises to go. Coming onto your knees, come up until push up position. Only this time watch your hands in further close to your buddy. You're gonna give me a triceps push up, pushing through your triceps keeping your elbows as close as you can through your body. So then we'll get rid of all that stuff that jiggle. Last exercise is just gonna be a plunk. So this also works to your core and your arms. Suck in your bellybutton into your spine, come up and hold. So this is at the very end of the workout. I want you to hold it for 1 minute. Do all those 10 exercises and you will feel confident in that little black dress. I'm Terry Anne with Exercise TV.

ALAMOSA, Colo. (March 2, 2010) - Losing your top player to injury can be a horrible omen to a team. Especially in a playoff game.
But Tuesday night, CSU-Pueblo used it as an opportunity to come of age and show its maturity as a championship-caliber basketball team.
In an RMAC Quarterfinal showdown at Adams State College in Alamosa, the ThunderWolves overcame an early injury to Rachel Espinoza (Jr., Pueblo, Colo.) and stepped up their game across the board, scoring a 70-61 win over the Grizzlies and earning the right to play in the RMAC Shootout at the Colorado State Fair Events Center in Pueblo Friday night.
Espinoza left the game just two minutes in, and the ThunderWolves responded to the loss of their point guard by taking Adams State's all-everything point guard, Vero Jo Bustos, out of the game. Bustos, who buried six threes in the Grizzlies' 17-point win over CSU-Pueblo at Adams State earlier this season, was just 1-for-10 in the first half, scoring just two points. Bustos finished with just four points on the night.
With the scales evened between the two squads, Katrina Selsor (Fr., Glenwood Springs, Colo.) elevated her game to become the team-leader on the floor in the first half, going for 10 points and seven boards in the first half alone in leading the Pack to a 37-26 halftime lead.
In the second half, the Pack's second point guard, Kendall Babler (So., Rifle, Colo.), picked up where Selsor left off, scoring nine points and registering three assists. Babler was joined by Erica Hicks (Fr., Lakewood, Colo.), who picked a heck of a night to have her best collegiate game, sinking two threes and going 5-for-6 in the second half for all 12 of her points on the night.
Overall, despite the roadblocks in their way, the end result was truly never in doubt. The Pack opened up a double-digit lead 15 minutes into the game, and largely held it throughout. The only threat came late in the game, when Adams State closed the advantage to six points with 1:36 remaining. But that would be as close as the Grizzlies got in a game that was all ThunderWolves.
CSU-Pueblo will move on to the RMAC Shootout at the Colorado State Fair Events Center in Pueblo Friday, when it will face Colorado Christian at 7:30 p.m.

Phyllis Diller was born on July 17th, 1917 in Loma, Ohio with the birth name Phyllis Ada Driver, born to Perry Marcus and Frances Ada Romshe. Her career as an actress began quite late in life when she was thirty seven years old and working at a laundry facility where she would write and perform comedic routines for her fellow employees.
After graduating from Lima's Central High School, Diller then enrolled at the Sherwood Music Conservatory in Chicago, Illinois where she studied for three years before transferring to Buffton College in Ohio.
Prior to working as an actress, she married young at the age of twenty two, worked various jobs such as a advertising copywriter and later a secretary at a San Francisco television station.
She began to put together a nightclub comedic act even though at this time a stand up female comedian was unheard of. Two local television hosts, Willard Anderson and Don Sherwood felt her act was top notch and invited her to perform it on their show in 1955.
At the age of thirty eight she broke into the entertainment industry performing live at the Purple Onion nightclub in San Francisco. She remained performing here nightly for over a year and a half and her popularity and fan based increased so fast that soon, Diller was being seen as a guest on a variety of television talk shows.
Bob Hope took Diller under his wing and showcased her on 26 variety shows over the years and she even accompanied Bob on his USO tours to Vietnam during the war there.
By the early 60's she was adding to her resume roles on such films as, "Splendor in the Grass" (1961) starring Warren Beatty, Natalie Wood, Pat Hingle, Gary Lockwood and Sandy Dennis, "Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number!" (1966) starring with Bob Hope, Elke Sommer and Marjorie Lord, "Eight on the Lam" (1967) co-starring Bob Hope, Jill St. John, Shirley Eaton and Jonathan Winters, "The Private Navy of Sgt. O'Farrell" (1968) starring Bob Hope, Jeffrey Hunter, Henry Wilcoxon, Dick Sargent and Gina Lollobrigida and "Did You Hear the One About the Traveling Saleslady" (1968) starring alongside Bob Denver, Joe Flynn, David Hartman and Jeanette Nolan.
In addition to film work she added such television credits to her resume as, "Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In", "The Hollywood Squares", "The Gong Show", "The Phyllis Diller Show", "The Beautiful Phyllis Diller Show", "Boston Legal", "The Red Skelton Hour" and "Seventh Heaven".
As her career progressed more substantial film roles began to be offered to her with roles on such features as, "The Adding Machine" (1969), "Pink Motel" (1982) with Slim Pickens, "The Boneyard" (1991) with Ed Nelson and Norman Fell and "The Silence of the Hams" (1994) starring Dom DeLuise, Billy Zane, Charlene Tilton, Martin Balsam, Mel Brooks, John Astin, Bubba Smith and Shelley Winters. She has also lent her voice to such voice over projects as the animated films, "A Bug's Life" (1998) and the television series, "Robot Chicken" (2005-2006).
Along with her career as a comedian and actress she also loved painting and published her autobiography, "Like a Lampshade in a Whorehouse" (2005) and the books, "Phyllis Diller's Housekeeping Hints" and "Phyllis Diller's Marriage Manual".
Diller married twice throughout her lifetime, first in 1939 to Sherwood Anderson and they had six children before her career finally took a toll on their marriage which came to an end in 1965. She then married entertainer, Warde Donovan in 1965 however, this marriage lasted only nine weeks.
Phyllis Diller did not re-marry and her most recent roles were doing voice over work on the animated series, "Family Guy" as well as the voice of Pelops in the film, "Light of Olympia" and her final role was on the video short, "Family Dinner" (2009). She passed away on August 20th 2012 at the age of ninety five at her home in Los Angeles, California.
A few great light hearted quotes from Phyllis...
"It's a good thing that beauty is only skin deep, or I'd be rotten to the core."
"I want my children to have all the things I couldn't afford. Then I want to move in with them."
"Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home."
"A bachelor is a guy who never made the same mistake once."
"My recipe for dealing with anger and frustration: set the kitchen timer for twenty minutes, cry, rant, and rave, and at the sound of the bell, simmer down and go about business as usual."
"Whatever you may look like, marry a man your own age - as your beauty fades, so will his eyesight."
"You know you're old when your favorite drink is Metamucil" Ha, ha, ha...
Phyllis Diller is honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contribution to the entertainment industry.

Eastenders Dirty Den Leslie Grantham and The Bill star Graham Cole are coming to Sevenoaks
By kentsussex | Monday, September 24, 2012, 11:02
MBP Theatrical presents
Eastenders Dirty Den Leslie Grantham and The Bill star Graham Cole are coming to Sevenoaks
Soap Opera @ The Stag, Sevenoaks
Starring Leslie Grantham and Graham Cole
The national tour of the new play, Soap Opera, with an all-star cast lead by Leslie Grantham (Dirty Den from EastEnders), comes to Sevenoaks.
A spoof murder-mystery set behind the scenes of a failing TV soap, the show also stars Graham Cole of The Bill, Louis Emerick of Brookside, Michelle Gayle of Eastenders, Red Dwarf's Hattie Hayridge, Lee Otway of Hollyoaks, and comedian Kev Orkian.
Hollyenders Street has been on air for nearly twenty years, and viewing figures are the worst they've ever been, so a new, hard-nosed producer is brought in to mix things up, and save the show from being axed.
Characters are cut, stories are sexed up and new blood is brought in. Even the theme tune is rewritten. Just before the show's 20th anniversary, somebody snaps. Blood is spilled, a body is discovered, and everyone has a motive.
Performances: Mon October 29, 7.30pm: Tues October 30, 7.30pm: Wed October 31, 2.30pm, 7.30pm
Tickets: £14c, £12.50 to £17

Section: Capital Region, Page: B1
Date: Tuesday, May 19, 2009
BERNE -- Many southern Albany County residents on Monday were asking "Oh, is that what that was?"
The U.S. Geological Survey reported a magnitude 3 quake took place at 8:53 p.m. Sunday in this rural town. That was followed by a smaller quake that was recorded at 3:21 a.m. Monday.
''My wife felt it but did not know what it was until she heard it on the news,'' said Ken Weaver, who lives near the epicenter and works for the town highway department.
It surely got the attention of geologists; Sunday's temblor was the 15th small quake to shake that area since February, according to William Kelly, a geologist with the State Museum.
''We've been watching this, but we really have little idea what could be the outcome, if anything,'' Kelly said. ''We should get some experts in here to set small sensors in that area to get a better idea what is going on and if it could be leading to bigger things.''
Sunday's seismic event took place 5.6 miles underground near the intersection of county routes 1 and 3, about 10 miles southwest of Altamont, according to information from the USGS and the Lamont-Doherty Cooperative Seismographic Network.
The Monday event, which was magnitude 2.1, was at nearly the same location as Sunday's but 3.7 miles underground.
Most of the recent quakes have been under 3 on the magnitude scale and were barely felt, Kelly said.
While others in the area may not have known what was happening, Charles Ver Straeten knew it was a quake. Ver Straeten, of East Berne, is a geologist who works with Kelly.
''I heard a boom sound outside and the windows and other stuff rattled inside the house,'' Ver Straeten said.
That booming sound is not unusual if bedrock is close to the surface, as it is in Berne.
''If the area consisted of looser soils there would be no boom but there would be more ground movement,'' Ver Straeten said. ''You could compare a quake effect on the looser soil to shaking a bowl of Jell-O.''
The Hilltowns have been quaking off and on since 1977, Kelly said.
The MacGregor Fault runs from near Whitehall in Washington County south through Saratoga, where it merges with the Saratoga Fault, which runs south to Berne and the Helderbergs, Kelly said.
The quake-prone area is about 2 to 3 miles wide and runs north-south through Berne, Kelly said.
''These are all very deep earthquakes down in what we call the basement, between 3 to 9 miles below the surface,'' Kelly said.
Ver Straeten said a series of small quakes is a good thing.
''The Earth is relieving stress in small movements instead of one big quake,'' Ver Straeten said.

Hardly a day goes by anymore, that a positive LBGT story, article or report doesn't get presented by some form of the media, and to think, it hasn't been that long ago, when all I seemed to hear or read was either negative or heartbreaking. That said, I'm not saying they no longer exist, I'm just saying, I get a mental uplift more often than I used to, as is the case for the recently held 2014 San Francisco Pride Event, where Silicon Valley connects with Pride…

Here's To Moms! A message from Google
Mother's day is coming up fast everyone, and from The New Yorker to Google, big businesses are saluting all different types of mothers in our lives. In Google's own 1 minute video celebrating Mother's Day, they dug through the archive to find the most aww-inducing clips with mothers they could find. I'm happy to say they included a clip from the first video a lesbian couple did with their newborn, and a clip of YouTuber Mallow610 (Daniel) coming out to his mom. Both are some super heartwarming videos. Check them out after the jump!

Brown Liquid Dye
Usage: 1oz colors 100 lbs soy or 200 lbs paraffin to a medium shade. 4oz colors 400 lbs soy or 800 lbs paraffin to a medium shade.
Fragrance Oil Recommendations: Apples and Maple Bourbon, Banana Nut Bread, Caramelized Pralines, Chocolate Fudge, Coconut, Frankincense and Myrrh, Fresh Coffee, Hazelnut Coffee, Hot Baked Apple Pie, Mediterranean Fig, Pumpkin Pie
Deep, rich colors are difficult in soy. They require 2-3 times the dye that paraffin requires, sometimes more. Note that standard dye amounts create a washed-out, pastel color in soy. We suggest making a test swatch to figure out the dye amount you will need to get the color you'd like.
Due to the extreme concentration of our liquid dyes there is a noticeable odor that will not be detectable at normal usages in finished candles.
Product Update: We are converting our glass liquid dye containers to plastic containers for easier shipping.Made in the USA

Former Gov. Mitch Daniels gets a shout-out in the Republican National Committee's Growth and Opportunity Project, the party's new blueprint for attracting more voters from among women, minorities and young people.
In its "Messaging" section, under the heading "The Way Forward," the plan notes that "Republicans are thriving on the state level." It ticks off the accomplishments of five GOP governors and quotes two more plus Daniels.
The plan states that Daniels "told us that young voters' share of the national debt is many times greater than the amount of their college loans. 'They're getting the shaft,' he said. 'There's an opening, and a need, for someone to be their voice.'"
The document fails to mention that Daniels has become president of Purdue University – a position that by its very nature should make him an advocate, if not a voice, for young adults.

IBM's New Paradigms for Using Computers 2007 workshop focused on health care interfaces. Previous years' workshops have covered such topics as Web 2.0 and mobile computing.
"Health care is moving in the direction of computerization, but there's so many difficult issues in the user interface in particular that have not been addressed," said John Barton, manager of Interaction Science at IBM.
Right now, health care is plagued by bad interfaces, said Paul Tang, vice president and chief medical officer at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation in Palo Alto, Calif.
"It's really driving under the influence of terrible interfaces," he said. […]
Rather than just throwing computers at what are now paper processes, ethnography would help in figuring out what information is needed, said Tang.
"Computerization of health care record keeping remains both a need and a challenge, said IT and health care dignitaries at an IBM-sponsored conference in San Jose, Calif. on Monday," as reported by InfoWorld.

An exit interview with Sue Idtensohn of Planned Parenthood of Greater Orlando
Idtensohn talks contraception, empowerment and retirement amid the current political attacks on reproductive rights
Published: March 22, 2012
I found the job out of the newspaper. It was right after I stopped working for Chiles and Jeb Bush had come in. I had worked for Johnson & Johnson, it was my first job ever, and I was the first woman that they hired. I was the first woman who was selling birth control pills in this country. I was absolutely appalled – I've always been appalled, since I was born, about a lot of things; I've spent most of my adult life appalled – I thought wait a minute, why can't they have access to the pill so that they can control their lives. So when I saw this job as the director of Planned Parenthood, that was almost a full circle for me. Because I worked in Asia, I ran an institute in Singapore, I've done a lot of things. I kind of think of myself as a renaissance woman, because I've always thought that you have a limited amount of time, and you need to go for it. So when I interviewed for the job with the board at the time, I said, 'My resume is very unusual, I've done a lot things. But I really believe that women have not been represented appropriately in this area and I think Planned Parenthood needs to have a presence.'
Was there resistance?
I think there was resistance because they didn't know what they were getting. I said to them, 'If you want someone who is going to be a force in this community and talk about women's health and make it an important discussion and grow this facility, then you need to hire me. If you don't want to do that, please don't hire me. If you want me to just stay on West Colonial Drive in a little 2,000-square-foot cinder-block house and hand out brochures, please don't hire me. It's an injustice to you and an injustice to me.' They hired me. So I said OK, and I kind of dragged them and changed the board a couple of times. I said, 'Hey, this is very important and we need to be proud of it.' At the time, this Planned Parenthood was the youngest in the whole federation. Planned Parenthood's 95 years old. There are affiliates around the country that have a long history. They have large endowments left to them. We just don't have that here yet. We will have it, because we've really established our footprint in this community. I tell people all the time that I am not confrontational, but I am very determined. You want to hook up with me, we're going to get stuff done. It is about representing women and families in the community; it's not about me.
So is right now the lowest of lows or the highest of highs for you? Or is it somewhere in between?
It's kind of somewhere in between. I am very proud of what we have done in this community, my staff, the board and me. It is very unusual that a nonprofit after 15 years is thriving and growing every year and being asked to contribute and be partners with other people and groups in the community. It's a hard slog, because Orlando is not a philanthropic community, it doesn't have a broad base of companies that are headquartered here. The two largest employers are headquartered out of California. Most of my donations come from 90 percent individuals that want to help us and make sure that we're here. I think with Jenna Tosh coming on, it's just a terrific transition. I couldn't be happier.

History, Heritage and Location
The 1200 acre Lake Vyrnwy was created by Liverpool Corporation to supply
Liverpool with a reliable and plentiful supply of water.
Liverpool was a growing City. The first water company was set up in 1799 followed by another. Water came from springs and deep wells. By 1840 the water supplies were inadequate, and polluted causing cholera, dysentery and typhoid.
In 1847 an Act enabled the City Corporation to take over private companies, purchase catchment areas and construct reservoirs at Rivington.
By 1865 demand for water exceeded output and in 1866 the search was on for
a new source of water. Over a period of years the search focused on the Vyrnwy
On 6th August 1880, the Liverpool Corporation Waterworks Act received the Royal Assent and gave the Liverpool Corporation authority to commence work constructing the Dam. Provisions had to made for daily compensation water which resulted in the dam design changing. This was the largest masonry dam in Britain, the largest artificial reservoir in Europe and the first to carry the overflow over its crest.
On 14th July 1881 the first commemorative stone was laid by the third Earl of Powys who was one of the owners of the land and the village of Llanwddyn which would be drowned by the reservoir.
Llanwddyn consisted of the church, 2 chapels, 3 public houses and 37 houses and 10 farmsteads in the valley. The population was rehoused downstream of the dam. A new church, dedicated to St Wddyn, was built to replace the Church of St John in the old village.
On 25th October, 1882, the foundation was cleared of overlying material and the first masonry laid. The stone was obtained from a quarry specially opened about a mile from the dam. Other materials had to be brought by horse and cart from the railhead at Llanfyllin.
On 26th November, 1888, the valves in the dam were closed.
On 23 rd November the dam first overflowed.
The first instalment of the whole Vyrnwy scheme (The lake without the Cownwy and Marchnant diversions) was opened by H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught in July 1892
By 1909 the Cownwy and Marchnant diversions were completed and on the 16th March 1910 HRH the Prince of Wales visited and commemorated the occasion by planting an oak tree by Bont Cynon.
The Tower. Constructed of concrete faced with masonry for filtering the water through strainers. The strainers being operated by hydraulic machinery, run entirely by a water supply laid from a small reservoir in the hill beyond, which powers all its machinery.
The Lake Vyrnwy Hotel. Built at the time of the dam. In 1905 a major
reconstruction of the main building was carried out. 1930 further extensions.
In 1985 the freehold was purchased. Further substantial refurbishments and additions have been made.
Forestry. Between 1890 and 1912, 900 acres were planted. By 1936, 4000 acres had been planted. In 1946 a joint scheme with Forestry Commission and Liverpool Corporation managed all the forestry.
Houses purchased 28
1880 - 1914 19 houses built
1914 – 1939 22 houses built
1939- 28 houses built
In 1950 the School and Community Centre was designed and built by the Montgomery County Architect along with 14 houses and 6 bungalows.
Many of the houses have been sold as the directly employed work force has decreased.
Farming. Originally all the land remaining after the flooding the valley was let. As the farms became vacant or were taken in hand the plantable land was planted and the mountain land was merged with farms managed by the Corporation. A few let farms remained.
Conservation. In 1977, an agreement was reached with the RSPB to create a wildlife reserve on 16000 acres. The Reserve is designated as a National Nature Reserve, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, a Special Protection Area, and a Special Area of Conservation.
Tourism. In1979 the Chapel by the Dam was converted into a visitor centre. Further developments are the RSPB shop, conversion of farm buildings to a café and craft shops, and the Old sawmill opposite to the chapel to a café and shop. There is sailing on the lake. Fishing on the Lake and Shooting are managed by The Lake Vyrnwy Hotel.

When the Ottawa Senators start the season on Saturday night in New York, 19-year-old Erik Karlsson will be in the lineup and playing a significant role.
Karlsson, the Senators first-round pick in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, survived the club's final roster cuts and will be paired with Filip Kuba to start the season.
"When Bryan Murray and Cory (Clouston) talked to me (yesterday), I had a feeling I might stay. They told me I was going to start the season here, but it's far from over," said Karlsson on Wednesday morning. "I still have nine games to prove I'm worthy of staying here. I'll do everything to stay here and play here the whole year."
Karlsson will help the team primarily on the power play, but according to head coach Cory Clouston, the Swedish teenager is ready for a bigger role alongside the veteran Kuba.
"He's shown right now that on certain nights he can play top-four minutes five-on-five and help out on the power play," explained Clouston, who said he would adjust Karlsson's minutes depending upon the opponent.
Also surviving the final roster cut on the blue line was Matt Carkner, who will start the season on the third defensive pairing with Chris Campoli. Carkner, who has just two NHL games under his belt, was seen as a longshot to make the team out of camp.
"I started training camp as a forward and now I made the team as a defenseman, so you never know what's going to happen," Carkner said. "I'm 28 years old as well and that was another knock against me. But I just kept working hard and trying to prove myself. And I've been given the opportunity to start the season here and I've got to just keep going."
Carkner's spot on the roster was cemented when the Senators sent Brian Lee down to AHL Binghamton on Tuesday afternoon. Carkner was seen by the coaching staff as someone who could bring an element of toughness to Ottawa's back end.
"It's important we had someone like Matt in our lineup to see where he fits. What he brings to the table is very valuable," said Clouston, who coached Carkner in the AHL last season.
Up front, Peter Regin learned that he will also start the season with the NHL club, despite being somewhat of a longshot three weeks ago. Against the Rangers on Saturday, the 23-year-old is expected to centre the team's second line with Alexei Kovalev and Mike Fisher.
"I made the first game at least. But I'm still trying to stick around every game," said Regin. "I still have to prove myself every game, but obviously I'm excited about making the team out of camp."
Clouston was quick to point out that any of the three players – Karlsson, Carkner or Regin – could be sent to the minors at any time. The head coach emphasized that making the team out of training camp offers no guarantees down the road.
"It could be for a week or it could be for a year and anywhere in between there could be a possibility," explained Clouston. "By no means do they think they can let up and relax and think they've done something. Because each day, they're being re-evaluated."
Notes: The Senators did not practice on Wednesday, as Clouston opted for an off-ice workout and video sessions instead….The club is expected to name an alternate captain on Thursday. Mike Fisher and Jason Spezza are considered the favorites to join Chris Phillips as alternates to Daniel Alfredsson….Alexandre Picard will likely start the season as a healthy scratch as the team's seventh defenseman….Jesse Winchester is expected to start skating in the next day or two, but is still at least two weeks away from returning from a lower body injury.

2008 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Background: Several studies included various admission criteria to select students into the Respiratory Care program. They have chosen science GPA (SciGPA), non science GPA (NSciGPA), and cumulative GPA (CumGPA) to predict success in the National Board Exams. In our study, we used the American College Test (ACT) and the entrance CumGPA as predictors for success in the Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT) and Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) exams.
Methods: We created a longitudinal database of the 45 graduating students from the years of 2005, 2006, and 2007. Out of the 45 students who completed the program, 41 (91.1%) were minority students. The ACT and entrance CumGPA were collected and analyzed from each admission file. The CRT and RRT exam results were collected from the NBRC secured data for educators. The CRT passing rate and RRT passing rate results were analyzed for different ACT scores and CumGPA scores.
Results: Three (3) groups were made for the ACT category, and two (2) groups were made for the cumGPA category. The ACT categories are as follows: (1) ACT of 19 or above, (2) ACT of 16 - 18, and (3) ACT of 15 or less. We found the highest passing rate in the CRT and the RRT exams for ACT category 1. The second highest passing rate for the CRT and the RRT exams were found with ACT category 2. For ACT category 3, we found the lowest passing rate for the CRT and the RRT exams. From the statistical analysis, it is evident that ACT scores significantly predict RRT exam results (*p = 0.045). The GPA categories are as follows: (1) CumGPA of 3.01 or above and (2) CumGPA of 2.50 to 3.00.Even though we found a higher passing rate for the CRT and the RRT exams in the GPA category 1 students for CumGPA, the results were not as significant (p=0.210) when compared with ACT category 1. Although we used ACT scores and CumGPA, ACT scores showed a significant prediction of NBRC RRT exam results.
Conclusion: Identification of important factors for predicting student success on the NBRC examinations is important for student professional growth and accreditation. This study identified that ACT score is an important predictor of student success.

All the lonely peopleMay 21,2013Over the past decade, the United States has become a less violent country in every way save one. As Americans commit fewer and fewer crimes against other peoples lives and property, they have become more likely to inflict fatal violence on themselves.
In the 1990s, the suicide rate dipped with the crime rate. But since 2000, it has risen, and has jumped particularly sharply among the middle-aged. The suicide rate for Americans 35 to 54 increased nearly 30 percent between 1999 and 2010; for men in their 50s, it rose nearly 50 percent. More Americans now die of suicide than in car accidents, and gun suicides are almost twice as common as gun homicides.
This trend is striking without necessarily being surprising. As the University of Virginia sociologist Brad Wilcox pointed out recently, theres a strong link between suicide and weakened social ties: people and especially men become more likely to kill themselves when they get disconnected from societys core institutions (e.g., marriage, religion) or when their economic prospects take a dive (e.g., unemployment). Thats exactly what weve seen happen lately among the middle-aged male population, whose suicide rates have climbed the fastest: a retreat from family obligations, from civic and religious participation, and from full-time paying work.
The hard question facing 21st-century America is whether this retreat from community can reverse itself, or whether an aging society dealing with structural unemployment and declining birth and marriage rates is simply destined to leave more people disconnected, anxious and alone.
Right now, the pessimistic scenario seems more plausible. In an essay for The New Republic about the consequences of loneliness for public health, Judith Shulevitz reports that one in three Americans over 45 identifies as chronically lonely, up from just one in five a decade ago. With baby boomers reaching retirement age at a rate of 10,000 a day, she notes, the number of lonely Americans will surely spike.
There are public and private ways to manage this loneliness epidemic through social workers, therapists, even pets. And the Internet, of course, promises endless forms of virtual community to replace or supplement the real.
But all of these alternatives seem destined to leave certain basic human yearnings unaddressed.
For many people, the strongest forms of community are still the traditional ones the kind forged by shared genes, shared memory, shared geography. And neither Facebook nor a life coach nor a well-meaning bureaucracy is likely to compensate for these forms attenuation and decline.
This point is illustrated, richly, in one of the best books of the spring, Rod Drehers memoir, The Little Way of Ruthie Leming, an account of his sisters death from cancer at the age of 42. A journalist and author, Dreher had left their small Louisiana hometown behind decades before and never imagined coming back. But watching how the rural community rallied around his sister in her crisis, and how being rooted in a specific place carried her family through its drawn-out agony, inspired him to reconsider and return.
What makes The Little Way such an illuminating book, though, is that it doesnt just uncritically celebrate the form of community that its author rediscovered in his hometown. It also explains why he left in the first place: because being a bookish kid made him a target for bullying, because his relationship with his father was oppressive, because he wasnt as comfortable as his sister in a world of traditions, obligations, rules. Because community can imprison as well as sustain, and sometimes it needs to be escaped in order to be appreciated.
In todays society, that escape is easier than ever before. And thats a great gift to many people: If you dont have much in common with your relatives and neighbors, if youre gay or a genius (or both), if youre simply restless and footloose, the world can feel much less lonely than it would have in the past. Our society is often kinder to differences and eccentricities than past eras, and our economy rewards extraordinary talent more richly than ever before.
The problem is that as its grown easier to be remarkable and unusual, its arguably grown harder to be ordinary. To be the kind of person who doesnt want to write his own life script, or invent her own idiosyncratic career path. To enjoy the stability and comfort of inherited obligations and expectations, rather than constantly having to strike out on your own. To follow a little way rather than a path of great ambition. To be more like Ruthie Leming than her brother.
Too often, and probably increasingly, not enough Americans will have what the Lemings had a place that knew them intimately, a community to lean on, a strong network in a time of trial.
Absent such blessings, its all too understandable that some people enduring suffering and loneliness would end up looking not for help or support, but for a way to end it all.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 15, 2009
CONTACT: Tom Plante, (908) 527-4746
Sebastian D'Elia, (908) 527-4419
ELIZABETH, NJ – The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders is pleased to present an exhibit of paper sculptures by Elizabeth artist Barbara Wallace in the gallery space at the Union County Office of Cultural and Heritage Affairs, located in the historic St. John's Parsonage at 633 Pearl Street in Elizabeth. A selection of her work entitled "Barbara Wallace - Sculpture" is on display at the Pearl Street Gallery through June 5. The public is invited to enjoy the exhibit during gallery hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays.
"The talent and diversity of our county artists assure an inspiring and interesting variety of exhibitions at the Pearl Street Gallery," said Freeholder Bette Jane Kowalski, liaison to the
Union County Cultural and Heritage Advisory Board. "We are pleased to display an exhibit of
Ms. Wallace's impressive body of work."
Barbara Wallace began her artistic training at the Art Students' League in New York. She received her BFA in painting from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, and her MFA in sculpture from the University of Pennsylvania. Wallace is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Fine Arts at Kean University and in the Humanities Department at Passaic County Community College in Paterson. Recently her artwork was in exhibitions including iDraw, iPaint, iSculpt, iPhotograph at the Pierro Gallery, South Orange; Barbara Wallace (solo) at the Dryfoos Gallery, Kean University; In the Country of Last Refuge, at the Gallery Aferro, Newark; Friends of Hitoshi Nakazato Exhibit, atIce Box Space, Philadelphia; 2007 Union County Merck Juried Art Show, at the Arts Guild of Rahway; BA-BOOM!! and The First Newark Arts & Music Festival at Halsey Village Sculpture Garden, Red Saw Gallery, Newark; and The Wreath: Interpretations, at The Arsenal Gallery,
New York City.
"My training is in traditional sculptural materials of clay, metal, stone, and wood. I have
adapted techniques ordinarily reserved for clay and sheet metal for recycled paper and tin can lids," Ms. Wallace said of her work. "The process for creating the works usually begins with a recycled metal clothes hanger. Layers of newspapers, magazines, and cardboard are applied to this minimal armature with an adhesive of boiled wheat paste glue. Other sculptures combine the paper core technique with a layer of wax. Creating long-lasting sculpture from unlikely and somewhat ephemeral materials of yesterday's news and this afternoon's lunch is the crux of
my artwork."
Union County artists (whose works can be hung on a wall) interested in exhibiting in the gallery space are welcome to apply. For more information about the Pearl Street Gallery or other programs, please contact the Union County Office of Cultural and Heritage Affairs, 633 Pearl Street, Elizabeth NJ 07202. Free on-site parking is available. Telephone (908) 558-2550.

|A Wikipedian Pilgrimage
|By Brad Miner
|Monday, 07 May 2012
Wikipedia is among my frequent stops in daily excursions across (or is it into) the Internet. In its decade-and-a-year of existence, Wikipedia has exceeded my expectations and confuted my initial concerns about its potential truthfulness and integrity.
I'd asked myself: Can an open-source encyclopedia really be accurate? Over the years, I have seen a few examples of wild imprecision (including "political" editorializing that is usually caught quickly and taken down). And it is not uncommon to see warnings in a given article that its accuracy is disputed, that more citations are necessary, or that editing is closed temporarily. Time cools hotheads, apparently.
A hundred-thousand "active contributors" are responsible for Wikipedia's content, and not all of them have their feet firmly on the ground; a few figure that a lie becomes true if it appears in Wikipedia, even if only briefly. But the collaborative editing seems to catch most errors – no mean feat in its English edition, which now has nearly 4,000,000 entries (and two-billion words).
It's about fifty times the size of the last print edition (and I do mean last) of Encyclopedia Britannica. So kudos to founders Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger who, following web developer Ward Cunningham's coinage, chose the name "wiki" from the Wiki Wiki Shuttle Bus at the Honolulu Airport (wiki = fast). Their creation is now online in 284 different languages and is the sixth largest site on the Web. (It's instructive to read the Wikipedia entry on Wikipedia, which deals in large measure with concerns about its accuracy.)
Basilica di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme
But I love to tumble into Wikipedia and to follow its links. To wit:
Thanks to a recent post by Fr. Dwight Longenecker at his blog, Standing on My Head, I learned about the Basilica of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem (Basilica di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme), a church in Rome of which I'd never heard. And quite a place it is, as Fr. Dwight's post explains:
Such assertions, making Holy Cross seem a bit like a big-box retailer of the Passion, may make some Catholics wince. Not I. More and more this is one aspect of our faith that makes me love Catholicism – and exceedingly so. There is an ancient concreteness that makes Catholicism unlike other faiths and roots us Catholics to the ministry of Jesus. Two-thousand years? That's nothing to us. That was yesterday. And we have the artifacts to prove it.
On to Wikipedia:
Holy Cross is one of the seven "pilgrim" churches in Rome, along with St. Peter's, St. John Lateran, St. Paul Outside the Walls, St. Mary Major, St. Lawrence Outside the Walls, and the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Divine Love. (Obviously I've used the English versions of the names.) Pretty soon, my own lady of love and I will be visiting Italy, and these will all be stops on our journey. For now, though, I carry my walking staff in cyberspace.
Saint Helena by Cima da Conegliano, 1495
Nobody will be shocked to learn that the provenance of the relics at Holy Cross are disputed, most especially the Titulus Crucis (literally: inscription of the cross). In the Wikipedia article on it, there is this caution: "It is generally either ignored by scholars or considered to be a medieval forgery."
Ah, but not so fast. Not so darned wiki quick! At the end of the entry is a link to the website of Rosary Workshop, where the discussion of the relics is singularly lacking in skepticism. Sure, some may argue the Rosary Workshop business model pretty much depends upon credulity. But one may also dispute Wikipedia's either-or statement: What sort of scholar ignores evidence about the Titulus or any other relic? Is this why "ignore" is the root of "ignorance"?
It's impossible to read about the Basilica of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem, without following links to info about its foundress, St. Helena, who (if you recall Citizen Kane) was a veritable Charles Foster Kane (i.e. William Randolph Hearst) – she boxed up half the Holy Land and sent it home to Rome. You can do this when you're the wife of one emperor and the mother of another.
Of course, it's worth wondering if all the "known" fragments of the True Cross were gathered together, would they be sufficient – placed piece-by-piece as in a puzzle – to reconstruct the original. Perhaps the pieces would render but a fraction of the Cross. Or maybe, in toto, there'd be enough wood to build a cathedral of pine.
These are not a skeptic's considerations. Whether were talking about the relics of the Passion, including the Shroud of Turin, or pilgrimages along the Camino de Santiago or to Lourdes, these holy objects and practices and places are not themselves reasons for faith but expressions of faithfulness: of love and suffering and sacrifice; ours for Christ and his for us.
And this is true whether you are experiencing them firsthand or in a pilgrimage along the labyrinthine ways of the Internet.

CHURCH FACILITIES: Any parish group or organization wishing to use the Church's facilities for meetings or other Church related activities must call the Church office prior to the planned date of usage so that Sexton coverage can be arranged. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated. Also, please be aware that there is now a sign out sheet for 270 Decatur St. for persons/organizations wishing to obtain the keys. Thank you.
OFFICE COPIER USAGE: Please be aware that the office copier is a leased machine and our monthly bills are determined by its usage. Our contract with the leasing company states that the church must pay for every copy made by the machine. Persons desirous of making personal copies, or copies for groups and organizations that are not a direct part of the congregation, would need to seek other means of having those copies made.
Parish groups and organizations are responsible for generating and printing their own programs, flyers and tickets. Your kind co-operation is most appreciated.
