She's already received honors from the Kennedy Center, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award (for which Angelina Jolie was this year's recipient), numerous People's Choice Awards, Emmys, and a spot in the NAACP's Hall of Fame. Nevertheless, the award Oprah Winfrey is receiving today might just be her biggest honor yet: the Presidential Medal of Freedom in a ceremony at the White House.
The honor is given to "individuals who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors." Oprah is joining the elite group for being "one of the worlds most successful broadcast journalists" and philanthropists.
Other 2013 Medal of Freedom recipients include Bill Clinton, singer Loretta Lynn, late senator Daniel Inouye, and baseball player Ernie Banks. Please join us in a toast to all of this year's honorees as we imagine what's next for Oprahperhaps a Nobel Prize?

Blogging Docs Meet
Posted on March 28th, 2005 by Doc Shazam
While visiting my grandmother in South Carolina, I slipped over the border into Augusta, Georgia to meet Web Surfin' Blogger, also a third year emergency medicine resident! He showed me around their department, they have an awesome bed tracking system (we have none) and a very spacious department. We celebrated the near end of our residency with pepridge farm chocolate chunk cookies that my grandmother insisted I bring along!

Report: H&M is planning to launch luxury brand
After numerous collaborations with designers including Marni, Versace and Lanvin, and its recent entry into the red carpet world, H&M are now rumoured to be planning a luxury brand. According to WWD, Hennes & Mauritz are reportedly looking into creating a high-end brand that will be more expensive than Cos.
"We are constantly looking at new ideas; it's a natural part of our work. However, there is nothing new that we can [talk] about for the moment," said H&M spokeswoman Charlotta Nemlin.
While few details have been released, the new luxury project is said to include designer Behnaz Aram, who joined H&M in August 2011. Aram's background includes designing women's ready-to-wear for Swedish brand Whyred.
Michelle Williams recently wore one of the new red carpet pieces from H&M's Exclusive Glamour Concious Collection (pictured). It comprises of dresses made from organic and recycled materials.

The Strange Ones
I spend a lot of time thinking about unusual characters from my youth and wondering where they are now, what they're like as adults, and how their lives have turned out.
Where is Marguerite, the pixie-haired waif from church camp who walked an imaginary dog and never once, during the entire camp session, took a step forward? She literally walked backward everywhere she went and I always wondered with amazement how she managed not to trip and sustain serious head injuries. I hope she's a biochemist.
Whatever happened to Darren, the boy from seventh grade who manically doodled Muppets characters, spoke exclusively in Kermit the Frog's voice, and ran like an ape during recess, dragging his fingers along the ground as cool boys chased and ridiculed him? I hope he works for Pixar.
How about Scott, who terrorized my sixth grade class by commanding every one of us to salute him each morning or he'd kill us in our sleep? I hope he's not in prison.
Where's Michael, the whimpy and fearful boy from eighth grade who dared talk back to Mr. Swinford, our one-armed war veteran math teacher? To show Michael—and apparently the world—who was boss, Mr. Swinford grabbed Michael by the collar and slammed him against the chalkboard. How did that single experience shape Michael's life? I hope he's a teacher.
What about Sharon, another church camp acquaintance? She was obsessed with Dukes of Hazard and knew every speck of trivia about the show. Sharon was overweight and refused to shower because of her shyness. She snored loudly every night until one of us whispered "John Schneider"…then the snoring would stop. I hope she's a supermodel.
There was also Heather from summer arts camp. She truly believed she was a hobbit and recreated a hobbit house in her bunkbed under mine. This was twenty years before the Lord of the Rings movies, way before wanting to be a hobbit was considered remotely acceptable behavior. I hope she's still a hobbit. And an attorney.
I don't so much remember the cheerleaders, football players, beautiful people or other normal kids. I remember the strange ones. I think it's because I always felt like one inside. And I wish I could know what they've all become.

It's funny how some people stick in our brains. I hope the girl you mentioned is a supermodel too! Just think, they might be thinking of you too.

Claudia On Wednesday, June 28 at 8:46 am
It just goes to show you what truly is important – the personality, not the girls & boys who thought they were so hot and special because they thought they were good looking.

I love this…gave me chills. I have a new blog to read (also read dooce). Thanks!

Now you have me thinking about those types of people from my youth. May just have to Google them and see what I can find! LOL

Why is it all the weirdos are at church camp?
James Cooper On Wednesday, June 28 at 10:55 am
So very awesome. I've spent many a lazy day just pondering whatever became of past friends and acquaintances. I have the opportunity to find out about some of those people if and when I should attend my 10-year high school reunion this fall. I wonder who's wondered about me too…
Nan On Wednesday, June 28 at 12:51 pm
Where is Ian? The boy who in 7th grade would jump around the room and fart at will, making sure to let it loose as his jumping hiney flew by your face. I hope he works for Airgas, inc. Nan
James Cooper On Wednesday, June 28 at 2:21 pm
nan: My guess would be that Ian became a politician
Tiger Lamb Girl On Wednesday, June 28 at 3:26 pm
I always wondered what happened to the two girls who beat me up (for no reason!) when I was nine years old. Hmm…might try to google their names sometime! Funny how some memories stick with you. Btw, you left a comment on my blog asking me to share some frankicense with. If really you want some – send me your address and I'll be happy to send it to you. I'll only be in the middle east for a few more months…so let me know.
KaraMia On Wednesday, June 28 at 3:31 pm
I always tell my son that it's better to be differn't then the same as the rest of the crowd. It's uniqueness that will prepare you for life, not uniformity.
KimbaLee On Wednesday, June 28 at 4:29 pm
This is exactly why high school reunions were invented. So we could see what happened to all the weirdos, freaks, geeks, and "popular" kids, (and secretly hope that last group ended up fat and bald).
SongBird On Wednesday, June 28 at 4:53 pm
One of my friends in college had a roommate that would stand in front of the bathroom mirror and pop zits. Then she would take whatever came out ( you know what I mean! ) and smear it in a vertical (never horizontal ) stripe on the mirror. It was totally gross. My friend requested a new roommate for the second semester. I guess the "zit" girl should work for Estee Lauder or Cover Girl.
sasha On Wednesday, June 28 at 5:31 pm
I wonder what happened to Milton, the waifish boy whose mother purportedly named him in defiance of his father's declaration that "no kid of mine is going to be called Milton." Did he ever make a name for himself?Or Christy, who wrote a serial about our history teacher, dubbed it "Caffeine Man," and peddled it to the rest of us for a subscription price of 25¢ a week. Is she still in publishing?And I wonder if anyone wonders about the girl with the rimless spectacles, the one who carried a rubber chicken or a ouija board to school on alternate days? That was me.
Julie On Wednesday, June 28 at 7:19 pm
I do have to admit that it was fun to see some of the "in crowd" at our 15 year reunion fat and bald. LOL!!! And the guys that were gay that finally came out! We knew all along!!
Snafu On Wednesday, June 28 at 8:57 pm
Ree-Amazing post. I am morally certain that I was interacting with just those same kind of weirdos 30 years ago(perhaps WAS one)- but I never identified the behavior as unusual at the time.Great blogging!
Jessica G. On Thursday, May 24 at 11:46 pm
I've wondered this same thing (even blogged about it, too). I was kinda a bully during the fifth grade…what happened to the kids I targeted? I hope they don't think of me, that my tormenting didn't affect them beyond Mrs. Pott's class. And, really? I just wish I could say I am sorry.
Anonymous On Tuesday, July 10 at 5:50 pm
I remember the kid that used to bully me around. man if i saw her (yes that's right she's a girl) i would whoop her sorry ass.

text: HISTORY OF THE FLIGHTOn October 21, 2010, at 1210 Pacific daylight time, a Cirrus SR-22, N427MC, impacted a horse stable in mountainous terrain, 1.5 miles west of the Agua Dulce Airport, Agua Dulce, California. The owner operated the airplane under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. The private pilot and his two passengers were fatally injured, and the airplane was substantially damaged. The airframe was severely fragmented and consumed by a post impact fire. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed. The flight originated at Van Nuys, California, about 1156.Radar data indicated that the airplane departed Van Nuys Airport at 1156:45 initially to the south, then turned to the north, and climbed to 1,500 feet mean sea level (msl). Van Nuys tower requested a (cloud) base report from the pilot. The pilot reported before he switched off frequency that there were few clouds at 2,300 feet msl, and the layer above that was between 3,500 and 3,800 feet msl. The radar track shows that the airplane leveled off at 1,500 feet msl for 2 minutes, climbed to approximately 3,300 feet momentarily, then descended to approximately 2,200 feet. The final radar return was at 1202:04 at 2,200 feet, 11.6 miles southwest of the accident site.Witnesses reported that they heard the airplane overhead in the vicinity of the Agua Dulce Airport, but could not see it due to low clouds, fog, and mist. One witness stated that seconds before the airplane impacted terrain it overflew her upside down. Two witnesses working on a nearby roof top said they observed the airplane flying very low, pass between two hills north of the accident site, then make a steep right-hand descending turn and impacted the ground "like a missile." They said the engine pitch increased slightly while behind the hill, and then was steady in pitch until the airplane impacted the ground.The pilot's wife said that the purpose of the flight was to travel to Parker, Arizona. The pilot had called her prior to departing Van Nuys, and told her that he intended to fly from Van Nuys, over Agua Dulce, to Palmdale, over to the Cajon Pass, and then direct to Parker. The terrain between Van Nuys and Palmdale consists of mountainous terrain (Angeles National Forest) with ridgelines between 4,000 feet and 5,000 feet msl to the north and south of the Antelope Valley Freeway. The Antelope Valley Freeway (CA-14) passes through the Angeles National Forest from southwest to northeast and the highest elevation is about 3,200 feet msl, near Agua Dulce.The airplane wreckage was contained in a compact area about 40 feet in diameter and located in a horse corral. As a result from the ground impact, three horses were fatally injured, and corral structures exhibited soot and fire damage.PERSONNEL INFORMATIONThe pilot, age 51, held a private pilot certificate for airplane single-engine land issued June 2, 2004, and a third-class medical certificate issued October 21, 2010, with the limitation that the pilot must have glasses available for near vision. Portions of the pilot's logbook were recovered and examined; the majority of the logbook had been destroyed by fire. The pilot's logbook contained an endorsement for a flight review on June 28, 2008. On the pilot's October 21, 2010, medical application he reported having 285 hours of total pilot time, and accumulated 45 hours within the previous 6 months.AIRCRAFT INFORMATIONThe four seat, low-wing, fixed gear airplane, serial number 0152, was manufactured in 2002. It was powered by a Teledyne Continental Motors IO-550-N, 310-hp engine and equipped with a 3-bladed constant speed Hartzell propeller. Review of the maintenance logbook showed an annual inspection was completed May 2, 2010, at a recorded Hobbs time and total aircraft time of 827.4 hours. Neither the engine tachometer nor the Hobbs meter was recovered from the aircraft wreckage, therefore, the actual time on the airplane at the time of the accident was not determined.METEROLOGICAL INFORMATIONA Citizen Weather Observers Program station at Agua Dulce was located about 1.4 miles to the east of the accident site at an elevation of 2,592 feet. Data from this station indicated that wind speeds were relatively light and relative humilities were in the low 90's (%) during the times surrounding the accident. Determining a cloudy area based on relative humidity values alone can be relatively difficult. While values close to 100% (greater than 95%) are safe in defining cloudy thresholds, values below 90% have been observed at cloud boundaries.The closest surface reporting station with visibility and ceiling detection capabilities was Palmdale Regional Airport, Palmdale, California, located at an elevation of 2,543 feet. Palmdale Airport is located approximately 15 miles to the northeast of the accident site, and was equipped with an Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS). Reports from Palmdale were issued while a certified weather observer was logged into the system. During the times surrounding the accident, the Palmdale ASOS indicated clear skies with excellent visibility. At 1153 PDT, the wind was from 210 degrees at 15 knots.The accident airplane's departure airport was Van Nuys Airport, Van Nuys, which is located at an elevation of 802 feet. Van Nuys Airport is located approximately 19 miles to the south-southwest of the accident site and was equipped with an ASOS. Reports from Van Nuys Airport were issued while a certified weather observer was logged into the system. At 1151 PDT, the airport was mostly VFR (visual flight rules) with broken ceilings at 1,800 feet above ground level (agl) and an overcast cloud base at 2,800 feet agl, visibility greater than 10 miles, and a light wind.A North American Mesoscale (NAM) model sounding for the accident location (where the surface elevation is estimated at 2,690 feet) at 1100 PDT was retrieved from NOAA's Air Resources Laboratory. The NAM model sounding indicated near-saturated conditions between about 3,175 and 4,725 feet, where relative humidity values were 97% or greater. Relative humidity values were 90% at the surface, and above the near-saturated layer, the atmosphere dried out considerably. Classifications made by the Rawinsonde Observation program (RAOB) indicated overcast clouds were likely preset in the near saturated layer, with bases within about 500 above the surface. The wind at the surface was 7 knots from the southwest, and the NAM model data indicated the wind rotated clockwise with height and had magnitudes approaching 20 knots from the northwest above 6,000 feet.A camera image taken by one of the accident passengers after departure and prior to reaching Agua Dulce was examined. The exact location and altitude of the airplane at the time this image was captured is estimated to be about 5 miles north of the Van Nuys Airport. The image does indicate a ceiling that partially obscures the tops of terrain in front of the airplane. A Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) helicopter pilot, who was operating in the area near the time of the accident, indicated conditions would have made it impossible to fly beneath the clouds in the area of the accident. The LAPD pilot indicated that clouds obscured the hill tops to the north of the accident site and that conditions there were basically 0/0 (zero visibility and ceiling at surface).Numerous AIRMETs (Notice for Airmen) for IFR (instrument flight rules), mountain obscuration and icing conditions were active over southern California during the time of the accident. At the time of the accident, an AIRMET for mountain obscuration, which advised of mountains obscured by clouds, was active for the accident location. Several AIRMETs for IFR conditions was also active near the accident site.The entire Meteorological Weather Study is contained in the official docket of this investigation.WRECKAGE AND IMPACT INFORMATIONLos Angeles County Fire received the call of an airplane crash and fire at 1219. The wreckage was located at an elevation of 2,690 feet msl, in a residential horse stable, and had impacted on level ground and corral fencing 15 feet from a wooden stable structure. The airplane wreckage had experienced an extreme post impact fire, consuming much of the airplane structure, leaving only carbon fiber cloth material and wing spar structure. The magnetic bearing taken from the engine and directed back towards the flight path perpendicular to the wing spars, was 110 degrees magnetic. Examination of the airframe revealed that all control surfaces were present and control continuity was confirmed through cable connections to control bell cranks or overload failure signatures. The airframe parachute system was located within the wreckage, the rocket motor case was located next to the engine with propellant expended, the parachute was in the stowed configuration, and exhibited thermal damage. Neither the parachute activation handle nor the safety pin was identified in the wreckage. The engine was imbedded into the ground about 2 feet, and was removed using a hoist. Fuel odor was evident as the engine was lifted, and dark oil like fluid drained from the engine. Cylinders 1, 3, and 5 had impact damage and the forward end of the engine case was fragmented. The oil pan had been crushed up into the engine case. The exhaust manifold exhibited bends and folds consistent with plastic deformation. The two magnetos were not present on their respective mounting pads. The propeller had been separated from the engine, but was located in the ground in line with the engine crankshaft. The propeller was removed from the earth using a hoist. All three blade shanks were in the propeller hub, two blades were present in the hub, and the third blade had fractured at the shank end.

McAfee Email Gateway consolidates inbound threat protection, outbound encryption, advanced compliance, data loss prevention, and administration into a single, easy-to-deploy and user-friendly appliance. As a comprehensive email security solution, Email Gateway can stand alone or work in tandem with McAfee SaaS Email Protection & Continuity as an integrated hybrid solution. It eliminates ineffective piecemeal defenses, simplifies multivendor security environments, and reduces operating costs — while significantly strengthening email security.
Email Gateway delivers:
Total inbound protection — Inbound protection goes beyond blocking spam. Email Gateway provides powerful antispam scanning technologies to identify and block incoming spam with over 99% accuracy. It also protects your network from malware, zero-hour threats, phishing, viruses, blended threats, directory harvest, denial of service (DoS), bounceback attacks, and spam surges.
Total outbound protection to keep your data secure — Available at no extra charge are encryption (push, pull, TLS, S/MIME, PGP) and built-in data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities that utilize the same text-matching dictionaries found in McAfee Data Loss Prevention — with the ability to scan over 300 document types. These compliance and DLP capabilities are fully used from the Email Gateway administrative interface or McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO). Using sophisticated content-scanning technologies, multiple encryption techniques, and granular, policy-based message handling, Email Gateway prevents outbound data loss and keeps sensitive data secure.
Simple, powerful administration from within McAfee ePO — With Email Gateway, administrators can deliver superior email protection and document it with customizable, enterprise-class reporting, exportable report logs, real-time dashboards, and alerts. Email Gateway combines performance, scalability, and stability with a flexible delivery model to ensure maximum ROI.
A virtualized solution — The Email Gateway appliance is also available as a virtual appliance, so you can reap the benefits of virtualization. With lower costs than a physical appliance, a virtual appliance also provides maximum flexibility, including the ability to consolidate solutions on a single server.
Enhanced security powered by McAfee Global Threat Intelligence (GTI) — McAfee GTI is a comprehensive cloud-based threat intelligence service. Integrated into McAfee security products, it works in real time, 24 hours a day, to protect customers against cyberthreats across all vectors — file, web, message, and network. McAfee GTI offers the broadest threat data, most robust data correlation, and most complete product integration in the industry. McAfee's GTI network allows enabled products to evaluate threats on multiple vectors in real time, leading to faster identification of threats and higher capture rates. Email Gateway uses the message, network, and web reputation service to identify email messages carrying malicious payloads.
Security Connected integration for advanced malware detection — For the most sophisticated and targeted email attacks, integration with McAfee Advanced Threat Defense provides a closed-loop solution capable of eliminating the stealthy and zero-day malware often used to enter organizations through spear phishing. McAfee Advanced Threat Defense combines in-depth static code and dynamic analysis (sandboxing) to analyze the actual behavior of malware. A tight integration between Mcafee Email Gateway and McAfee Advanced Threat Defense enables this analysis to be conducted on suspect files attached to email, blocking those found to be malicious before they ever reach an inbox.

Get quicker, accurate detection of spam, malware, malicious embedded URLs, zero-hour threats, and other email-borne threats with the network, file, web, and message reputation intelligence from the breadth of McAfee security devices around the globe. Get protected from directory harvest denial of service (Dos) bounceback and spam surges. A dual antivirus solution addresses defense-in-depth compliance requirements, while eliminating licensing costs and management with this built-in functionality. The second antivirus engine may be turned off, or turned on for exhaustive scanning or in optimized mode, where it scans only those that pass through the McAfee antivirus engine.
Gain the most in-depth malware detection capabilities available through a tight integration between McAfee Advanced Threat Defense and McAfee Email Gateway. Advanced Threat Defense uses advanced static code and dynamic analysis (sandboxing) to provide the most detailed assessment and data on malware classification. Stealthy malware and zero-day threats are packed or obfuscated to evade detection, and Advanced Threat Defense employs strong unpacking to break through evasive techniques, enabling thorough analysis and accurate classification. These two solutions work together to find sophisticated attacks and freeze them in their tracks, removing malicious email messages without the need for manual intervention by overworked network operators or security analysts.
Unwanted mail could be legitimate bulk mail that was once solicited by the user, but now no longer wanted (i.e., industry newsletters and notifications), and may represent a significant nuisance to recipients. By using graymail filters, administrators can set graymail policies for individuals or groups, and even permit end users to enable this capability to keep mailboxes clear of graymail.
Eliminate the need to source, manage, or integrate a separate encryption product. Built-in, policy-based email encryption supports a wide user base, and includes a combination of B2B (TLS, S/MIME, OpenPGP) and B2C (push, pull, push and pull) technologies. Enable your recipients to receive and reply to secure email, even if they do not have encryption capabilities in place.
Take advantage of flexible policy creation and enforcement, plus enterprise-class logging and real-time dashboard and reporting capabilities, to simplify administration and compliance workloads while lowering costs. Email Gateway includes over 114 compliance templates, the same as those in McAfee Data Loss Prevention (DLP), to support GLBA, HIPAA, SOX, and other compliance mandates.
Prevent data loss with the industry's most extensive on-box email DLP capabilities. Fingerprinting, lexical analysis, and clustering techniques supplement keyword and pattern matching to detect both structured and unstructured data. Policy-based message handling then prevents outbound data loss. These industry-leading email content analysis tools provide the tightest control of sensitive content in any form to aid compliance with many state, national, and international regulations. Keep your data secure by filtering beyond Microsoft and PDF documents and scanning over 300 document types. Email Gateway can also integrate with McAfee DLP Prevent to enhance the solution's ability to correctly identify sensitive data and assist in its safe handling, minimizing risk.
Reap the benefits of an integrated hybrid solution with Email Protection. It eliminate costs of paying for two solutions to cover your email security, eliminate the inefficiencies of a patch-worked hybrid solution, or take a step towards leveraging the benefits of a cloud-based solution. Choose Email Protection to implement an integrated hybrid solution that gives you the best of the Email Gateway appliance with McAfee SaaS Email Protection and Continuity to give you the best of both worlds, all through a single pane of glass management and reporting interface. Block malware and filter spam in the cloud, away from your network, to save bandwidth cost and protect sensitive data with on-premises Email Gateway (virtual appliance, hardware appliance, or blade server) for encryption, flexible policy creation, and data loss prevention.
Deployment flexibility is a hallmark of McAfee Email Gateway. You can deploy it as a virtual machine, hardware appliance (four different appliance sizes), or on a blade server architecture that sits in front of an existing email server.
These are minimum hardware requirements for the virtual appliance. Actual requirements will vary depending on the nature of your environment.
You can use McAfee Email Gateway in a virtual environment with these platforms:
A complete range of enterprise and medium-capacity appliances offers affordable protection and scalability for the most demanding business messaging environments.

Steve Winter, Special to wtop.com
LAS VEGAS - At every Consumer Electronics Show, a different industry tends to steal the spotlight and emerge as one of the breakthrough stories of the year.
Without question CES 2014 is the Year of the 3-D printer.
While the overall concept of 3-D printing dates back roughly 25 years, only recently has the technology matured to becoming available for the everyday consumer, at a more affordable price.
New York-based MakerBot is widely acknowledged as the industry leader.
"The concept behind 3-D printing is really quite simple," says MakerBot CEO Jenny Lawton.
"You take a plastic filament and run it into an extruder, heat it up to the temperature where the plastic changes state from solid to liquid then it extrudes through a tiny hole and lays down each layer of a single file," says Lawton.
"The printer takes a file object and slices it up like you would a CAT scan and each layer is laid down, bit by bit, with each layer roughly the width of a sheet of paper."
When the process is finished - usually in around 30 minutes for small scale items - the product is done.
MakerBot and other companies exhibiting here are showing toys, including action figures, models, vehicles. yet experts say future application usage is virtually unlimited.
Plastic guns made with 3-D printers have led Congress to prohibit plastic firearms.
Manufacturers say there are many less controversial uses of the technology.
"In the special event industry, you can use 3-D printing to create highly- personalized and customized product giveaways and premium items for meeting and show attendees, keynote speakers, even members of the media," says Gary Shu, Senior Manager of Market Development for Tapiei-based XYZ Printing.
"Having come from a commercial photography background, I can see that when speeds ultimately improve, the capabilities of 3-D production will also increase," says Shu.
According the experts, the application capabilities are already expanding, branching out into the realms of architecture, construction, marketing and academia.
To this point, the Internet has been the Internet of information, says David Jaffe, Lynn University's Dean of the College of International Communication. "3-D printing brings us into a new era - the Internet of things."
Current 3-D printers can create small objects like keys, whistles, and boxes, says Jaffe.
"In the future, we'll be printing our clothing, shoes and even the food we eat. In the medical community, we'll be able to print body organs and skin," Jaffe says.
Here at CES, MakerBot is introducing three versions - entry-level, 'prosumer,' and industrial-sized - with a price as low as $1,375.
See how the 3-D printers work:

In Norse mythology, Balder was the god of light, joy, purity, beauty, innocence, and reconciliation. Born to Odin, king of the gods, and Frigg, Odin's wife, Balder was beloved by everyone. His wife was Nanna, daughter of Nep, and together they had a son Forseti, who was the god of justice.
According to Norse mythology, Balder had dreams about his death and his mother Frigg, taking it to be an omen, took steps to prevent it. She went throughout the whole world, extracting oaths from every thing, be they dead or alive, moving or unmoving, big or small, that they would not harm her son Balder.
With this done, nothing could harm Balder. Stones, darts and other projectiles would turn away when thrown towards him, and the other gods took to playing a game where they would throw knives and various other projectiles at him.
Loki, the god of trickery, was jealous of Balder and he set about finding a way to destroy him. First, he turned himself into an old woman and approached Frigg. He asked her if she had really extracted oaths from every thing, and she informed him that she had extracted oaths from every thing save one, a small plant, the mistletoe, which she thought was too weak to be of harm to Balder.
Loki went to gather the plant and he fashioned it into a dart. Back in Midgar, the gods were once again playing their game where they attempted to hit Balder with projectiles. Loki went to Balder's brother, Hodr, who was blind and therefore did not particpate and gave him the dart fashioned from the mistletoe. He offered to guide Hodr's aim, and the dart flew true, piercing Balder through the heart.
The slaying of Balder by Hodr is thought to signify the coming of winter, just like blind Hodr was the hand who slew Balder, the god of light, so would long and dark winter nights replace the days when the sun shone in the sky.
The gods lamented the death of Balder, and Odin sent another of his sons, Hermod, messenger of the gods, to the underworld to plead with Hel, the goddess of death, to release Balder.
Balder set forth to Helheim, the realm of the dead, and begged Hel to release Balder, as he was loved by everyone in the world and they would miss him. Hel agreed to release him if everything, dead or alive, would weep for Balder. Hermod went back, carrying this message and even stones and trees that he talked to wept when he heard this.
Then Hermod came upon a giantness Thokk, who refused to weep for Balder, and because there was one thing in the wrold that would not weep for him, so Balder had to stay in the realm of the dead.
The gods now prepared for Balder's funeral, dressing him in crismon cloths and placing him, along with his wife Nanna, who had died of a broken heart, on a funeral pyre abroad his ship Ringhorn. They placed on his possessions on the ship and the giantness Hyrrokin then pushed him out to sea so hard that the rollers actually caught fire.
Lokki who was the one who had disguised himself as Thokk, was punished for his crime. he was hunted down and chained to three boulders, and a serpent was placed so that venom constantly dripped on his face. His wife Sigyn stayed loyal to him and remained by his side, and she would catch the dripping venom in a bowl. However, when the bowl was full, she had to turn away to empty it, and it was then that the dripping venom would cause Loki to writhe in pain, which the Norse would say was the cause of earthquakes.

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- It's your money and here's a way to not get ripped off. Car dealers are warning that thousands of cars, damaged by the floods of Hurricane Sandy, could be resold as used.
The good news is that right now it's both easy and free to find out if a car was once flood damaged. At flood.carfax.com you can enter the VIN of a car to find if it was ever reported as flood damage. The previous owner would have to file a claim with their insurance company.
Las year, the National Automobile Dealers Association estimated that 200,000 or more flooded cars could be resold as used.
It's not illegal to re-sell a flooded car, but dealers are required to disclose it.
If you're thinking about buying a used car and you're a little worried, here are a few tips. First check the VIN number. Next you can hire a mechanic to inspect the damage. Experts also say the "sniff test" might work for you as well.

Ministers want rural councils to consider changing planning policies to support residential conversion of unwanted farm buildings rather than insisting on employment reuse.

Worried about what damage heavy snow could do to your property?
Adequately winter-proofing your home will ensure you aren't one of those left counting the cost as the sub-zero temperatures descend upon us.
As always, prevention is key, it's all about locating the problem and fixing it before it's made worse by the ravages of the winter season.
Here's a guide from the NFU of what to look out for when faced with deep snow………

Call for Housing Conversions on Farms to be Made Easier
Average house prices in rural England have more than doubled over the past decade to over £250,000 but the average salary remains at approx. £21,000 and the number of people on social housing waiting lists in rural areas has risen to 750,000 over the same period.
Communities minister Andrew Stunell has called on all Councils to consider amending existing planning policies to make it easier for Farmers to develop disused farm buildings and offer affordable homes on the farm for local people.
Stunell said "Farmers are the custodians of our countryside, managing thousands of acres of rural land across England. But when they want to make disused buildings available for new homes, they can often face an uphill battle to get planning permission in the face of their council's development plans. That's why I want to make it easier for farmers to offer homes on the farm for local people".
National Farmers Union planning adviser Ivan Moss said; "the home on the farm scheme is an excellent opportunity for farmers who want to use their outbuildings for a constructive purpose. It should also sustain the rural economy by providing homes for those working in it. The NFU will watch with interest the outcomes of the first applications from farmers to their local councils to convert disused buildings into affordable homes and hope that councils will be equally eager to be pioneers in the scheme".

What You Can Learn From the Michael Jordan of Designing Jordans
To sneakerheads, there is one god above all others: the elusive Tinker Hatfield, Nike designer behind almost every pair of His Airness's kicks. In a rare interview, he explains why he works nights and what it's like to collaborate with the greatest ever
The Flames Less Traveled
"The Jordan V was partly inspired by flames painted on a World War II plane. Michael and I used to talk about zigging while everybody else was zagging, so I made the flames point forward, not back."
Missed Opportunities
"At one point, I pushed for a less sporty sub-brand called Jordan Beyond. When Michael did SNL in '91, he wore a Jordan Beyond quilted green jacket. But I couldn't make it happen. I've still got some samples, including a basketball shoe that was perforated like a wingtip."

The Marathon County Board of Supervisors takes another step forward in their efforts to renovate the county courthouse and jail. Although renovations to the courthouse and jail may be years away, the board is narrowing down building proposals now.
The County Board heard three different building concepts for the courthouse Thursday night, effectively narrowing their options down to two top schemes.
The first option is to build everything at the courthouse's current location. There are two possible building plans for this option, but both would require adding additional stories to the court building and adding a new 2 story jail.
The other option would have all secure departments at the renovated original courthouse location and all other departments requiring less security at another location entirely.
County Administrator Brad Karger says it's crucial to start planning now.
"If we know in advance that we have property needs, maybe we can find the opportune time to either buy an option on the property or to actually purchase the property so that we have the land available for the expansion plan we think is best," Karger told NewsChannel 7.
The two location option is the more expensive of the two, estimated to cost close to $85 million versus the single location plan which is estimated to cost near $71 million.
Karger says that when the time is right, construction will begin in stages. What gets renovated first will depend on if space at neighboring jails runs out before or after a new judge is added to the county roster. Either way, Karger said not to expect any changes within the next five years.

I was just decompressing after watching the trailer for the new Prince of Persia, and had a few thoughts about game theory.
[By the way, just so you know — I still cite Sands of Time as one of the best video games I've ever played, so, you know, I'm probably biased.]
Nothing like practicable ideas, I should say. But perhaps some that will open routes of inquiry.
When I'm absorbing art, and that's any kind of art, I'm looking for a feeling of beauty. I'm going to wax maudlin at you for a moment. The best kinds of art instill in me feelings like I get almost nowhere else. I'm in the middle of some kind of perfect storm of great stuff here, too — the new Decemberists song does this for me, as does a book I'm reading, Dhalgren (in between the frightening dystopia bits). I just started Silent Hill 2 in a bid to write a paper on the Gothic in video games (yes, you'll likely hear more about that as the semester wears on).
What I'm getting at, and not very well, is that some video games have given me that same feeling. Prince of Persia did it, and so did Shadow of the Colossus. So I may try to write critiques, proper entries here, for those games, to try and get at what makes them what they are, rather than choose-your-own-adventure stories with prettier pictures. I know, somewhere inside me, that some video game stories couldn't be told any other way, while others (much as I love it, Legend of Zelda springs to mind) could. They wouldn't be as good, but they would still work. But writing up Shadow of the Colossus for a novel version would involve so much new writing it would be a different thing, whereas you could write up Wind Waker and the effect of the story on the audience would be unchanged. Not that I have a problem with that, I'm not asking every game to fuck me up like a new Lord of the Rings.
I feel like I have a way to tackle this problem through my genre and myth criticism ways, too. Certainly there are enough romantic elements in the games I've mentioned to get me started sometime.
[I should say that whenever I use the word "romantic" I mean it in the original sense, that of a story of medieval style romance. If you don't know what I'm talking about, think King Arthur. Those stories, especially those from the French tradition, were romances.]

Absurdly Over-Priced BeoSound 6 Is No iPod
Bang & Olufsen is a high end Danish electronics company known for its often outlandish designs, and absurdly high prices. Surprisingly, B&O's new BeoSound 6 digital audio player is actually a pretty ho-hum-looking device. In fact, it looks suspiciously like the Samsung YP-Z5F.
The BeoSound 6 is probably a decent audio player -- since most MP3 devices sound more or less the same -- but it's otherwise somewhat bare bones. No FM, no Wi-Fi, not even video, just standard MP3, WMA and OGG playback (no, it won't play your iTunes music).
This four-gigabyte iPod Nano competitor is sadly for B&O no competition for Apple's diminutive video capable digital audio player (DAP). The BeoSound is only slightly narrower than the iPod, but significantly taller, and twice as thick.
Oh, and then there's the price. At an absolutely unbelievable $600, the BeoSound costs only four times as much as the four-gigabyte iPod Nano. The only explanation for the price difference? The BeoSound contains the soul of a small child (or so we hope!)
If it only looked nicer, maybe we'd be convinced, but if you're one of those chumps who's just gotta have the latest B&O device, you can rest easy: It's set to ship in time for the holiday season.
What do you think? Have you had any positive or negative experiences with Bang & Olufsen equipment? Would you pay $600 for a four-gigabyte digital audio player?

EMC emerges from recession doldrums
EMC is emerging from the recession, with revenues back to where they were a year ago, but higher quarterly profits. The company recorded $4.1bn revenues for its fourth 2009 quarter which was just two per cent higher than the $4.02bn recorded in 2008's last quarter. However, without increased VMware revenues - $607m compared to $ …
Well, something had to be cut to up the profits and it is customer service
EMC is rolling out what they call CE Optomization where most of EMC's larger customers are losing their site Customer Engineer that they may have had for years and bringing back inhouse most of the break/fix work that used to be passed to Unisys. Some CE's are made into install types and some are made into answering the phone types (a poor replacement for the customer engineer as these are not really technical types and just dont know the site and kit configuration) and most are made into "just fix the box and shut up" types.
What does that mean to us the customers?
No more having the same guy in the planning meetings, configuring the kit and being there at the end of the phone, that job is now done by several different people WHO DONT TALK TO EACH OTHER. If I have a question or problem now I cannot ring my CE anymore, I have to raise a ticket online and wait for hours for a callback....
What does it mean to Unisys?
They are now doing a small fraction of the work they used to do for EMC (expect redundancies there)
What does it mean to the EMC engineers?
The CE who used to deal with our site is now on a shift that will surely cause some divorces it is so crap (>60% unsociable hours). According to him, by the time they have brought back all the work and if the numbers dont add up there will be redundancies in EMC too and this along with the crap shift has made some CE's already jump ship. Service is going to go down the tube. Great.
What does it mean to EMC?
Short term profits, expect Tucci to sell up his options and retire before the shit hits the fan. EMC's customer service was a differentiator between it and the other vendors, the customer service has been slowly declining for a while (as have almost all the vendors) but now EMC is just another vendor where you call up the call centre in India and spend hours of your life explaining the same thing over and over and over .................................................................
Do you think our maintenance fee's are going to be reduced in line with our sevice levels?

Ferguson: Mourinho can beat my trophy haul
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has backed Real Madrid counterpart Jose Mourinho to exceed his own impressive haul of trophies.
Ferguson has already won 48 trophies in his career and is expected to land at least one more this season as his side stand 12 points clear of Manchester City in the Barclays Premier League.
By contrast, Mourinho, who will be in the opposing dugout on Wednesday when United take on Madrid in a mouthwatering Champions League clash, has a comparatively measly 20 to his name.
However, in pledging to extend his career into his 70s, as Ferguson has done, Mourinho has given himself another two decades to scoop silverware.
And if the Portuguese coach enjoys such longevity, Ferguson is convinced his friend will eclipse his own achievements.
"It is very possible that Mourinho will finish as the most successful manager ever," said Ferguson. "It depends where his future lies.
"How long he will be at Madrid for a start because they would always give him the opportunity to win major trophies."
Mourinho has already done something Ferguson is unlikely to match; winning the Champions League with different clubs.
"If he does it again he will be the first to do it with three," said Ferguson.
"He has won the Treble with Inter Milan. He has won a lot of trophies for a young man.
"He has 20 years to catch me up so it's possible he could beat my record."
Fergie had hoped for United-Real final

Mourinho: It's a privilege to play against United
Ferguson is adamant he will not still be ploughing on in 20 years, as Mourinho suggested.
Yet there is no doubt the Scot is stimulated by the challenge provided on the domestic front by Manchester City, just as he was when Mourinho arrived at Chelsea in 2004.
"He transformed Chelsea," said Ferguson. "They got off to a flying start and caught us on the hop.
"We were chasing their tail for two years."
They also had the Indian sign over United.
Indeed, excluding a penalty shoot-out win in the 2007 Community Shield, Ferguson has only enjoyed two victories in 14 meetings with Mourinho.
"It doesn't bother me that he has a better head-to-head record," he said.
"You can't beat them all. I'm happy with my own record."
For all their battles, Mourinho can count Ferguson as a friend.
The pair met immediately before Manchester United's victory over Everton on Sunday and after serving Ferguson with wine even he admitted was awful when he first arrived at Chelsea, it is a fair bet Mourinho will come up with something better for their post-game chat on Wednesday.
The stakes are high, though. Time is not on Ferguson's side as he looks to secure another European accolade, whilst after a desperate campaign on the domestic front, Mourinho has to win if he is to convince anyone he can stay in his job.
"Real got off to a shaky start and Barca came out flying," said Ferguson.
"It was like when Chelsea got off to those flying starts and we couldn't catch them.
"But I watched their game against Barca the other night - there wasn't a lot in it.
"Ronaldo is the one I worry about but you can't dismiss Real Madrid have a good team."
The respective league tables suggests both sides' strength lies in attack rather than defence.
That knowledge allowed Ferguson to make a bold prediction.
"It won't be 0-0," he said. "I can assure you of that.
"It can live up to expectation.
"History always plays a part in these types of the games and the two teams' desires to go forward ensures there will be goals."

With the latest news on Kristen Stewart's crisis week, two-for-one on gel manicures from Nails Inc and an in depth interview with Britain's longest serving female MP Harriet Harman we've got a top issue of Grazia for you this week. And judging from what you lot have got to say on Twitter, you're all loving it too.
Loads of you were chuffed with our two-for-one offer on gel manicures from Nails Inc. Danielle Burwood (@Miss_Danielleb) has got hers sorted already, "Loving @Grazia_Live this week...just booked my @nailsinc Gel Manicure. Can't wait." Ella Camponi (@EllaCamponi) is desperately trying to find a pal to take advantage of the offer with, "Any girls wanna come get a nails inc manicure done with me? Grazia doing a promo buy one get one free :) split the cost for beaut nails?!"
There was big love for our some of the fashion pieces featured in the mag too. Katherine (@Il_Mio_Italiano) was hankering after some new winter pieces. "Absolutely LOVING the Burberry studded gloves featured in this week's @Grazia_Live magazine :-)." Us too Katherine, us too! Vicky Morrison meanwhile, (@vickymorrison4) was lusting after some footwear from The Kooples. "@TheKooplesHOF: #thekooples #grazia Love the boots!"
We're not sure whether it's the weather but a lot more of you than normal seemed to be using Grazia to procrastinate! Janice Fitz-Graham (@Janice_FG) put work on the backburner to settle down with Grazia," I'd intended on reading my play in bed tonight but seeing as I seem to have misplaced it Grazia magazine will have to suffice #GoodIntention." Anna Ball (@atwaite) was hiding using her mag to hide away from the festive spirit, "I was going to be tres organised & start present wrapping but realised we have no sellotape *sighs* *picks up Grazia*". Jane Ibot (@kennethjaneibot) went one further altogether and actually got Grazia out in the office! "Work/play - booking a passenger's flight while browsing Grazia magazine!"
Remember it's only Wednesday so there's still plenty of time to get in on the debate. So pick up a copy and let us know your thoughts by tweeting us @Grazia_Live.

Two people hurt in crash on Highway 47
Apr 14, 2013
News-Register Staff
YAMHILL — Alcohol was a factor in a two-vehicle crash that injured two people Sunday on Highway 47 near Goodin Creek Road, north of Yamhill, according to the Oregon State Police.
Troopers gave this account of the 11:33 a.m. crash:
Gary Clark 62, of 2300 N.W. Country Lane, No. 51, Gaston, was northbound on the highway in a 1986 Nissan pickup when he approached another vehicle that was stopped to make a left turn onto Goodin Creek.
Clark braked hard, lost control of his vehicle and it went onto the paved shoulder. He over-corrected and the vehicle shot across the northbound lane and into the southbound lane, colliding with a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta driven by Shelia White-Clark, 42, of 215 N.W. Ash St., McMinnville.
Clark was transported by Life Flight helicopter to the Oregon Health and Science University and was reported in critical condition Monday. White-Clark was taken by ground ambulance to OHSU with non-life threatening injuries and has been discharged.
OSP Senior Trooper Bridget Taylor said Clark will be charged with one count each of third-degree assault, driving under the influence of intoxicants, driving without a license, reckless driving and recklessly endangering another person. His blood alcohol content was .21, nearly three times the presumed level of intoxication in Oregon of .08. Seat belt information was not available for either driver.
OSP was assisted by the Yamhill and Washington County sheriff's offices, Gaston Fire Department and Oregon Department of Transportation. The highway was closed for a period of time.

this kinda belongs in the armory suggestion forums.
Hi All...I've been a long time troller of Tankspot and finally decided to post...I have a few questions regarding my gear and stats.
Armory: The World of Warcraft Armory
I will be removing all Hit Gems and putting Str and Crit.
My current dps for Heroic Nax is between 2800-3700. Should I be doing more DPS with my gear? or is this okay?
What stats should I be working on? I was aiming for 3500 AP unbuffed in zerker stance. 35% Crit, 148 Expertise...and around 300 Hit Rating even after the new Patch as I find rage generation to be less spikey this way.
How valuable in Haste and ArP?
this kinda belongs in the armory suggestion forums.
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
If you are doing this amount of dps on a consistent basis, it is above what I would expect from your gear., especially since your expertise and AP are pretty low and your hit and crit could use work.
As people will always post, getting the hit cap on yellow attacks and expertise cap is key. You have the right numbers of what your stats should be unbuffed, so go for it.
Armor penetration isn't as good as it used to be. Actually, in my opinion, it is worse than most stats for warriors (worse than strength, crit, AP itself, hit, expertise... you see where I'm going with this). Haste is OK to have, but you usually sacrifice other stats for haste on the items you receive. Haste will help your rage generation by more white hits, but getting more crit will be more beneficial to you now instead.
Hope you found this helpful! If you have any questions, I would be glad to help.
