Lawton school plans blood drive to support student with leukemia
Updated On: Apr 25 2013 10:54:29 AM CDT
An Oklahoma second-grader who is fighting leukemia for the second time is getting some help from her classmates.
Students at Hugh Bish Elementary in Lawton organized a blood drive for Maddy Hunt in honor of the many transfusions she will have to undergo.
"Awesome!! That makes me happy. It just makes me happy when I get to be told that my school is like still there for me and just get to hear about them," said Hunt.
She says the hardest part of battling leukemia is that she does not get to be around her friends. Hunt will be home-schooled for the rest of the year.
She says she plans to win her battle with cancer and then grow up and become a dentist.

Critics Consensus: Thirteen Days offers a compelling look at the Cuban Missile Crisis, and its talented cast deftly portrays the real-life people who were involved.
Movie Info
For thirteen extraordinary days in October of 1962, the world stood on the brink of an unthinkable catastrophe. Across the globe, people anxiously awaited the outcome of a harrowing political, diplomatic and military confrontation that threatened to end in an apocalyptic nuclear exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union. The alarming escalation of events during those fateful days brought to the fore such public figures as Robert McNamara, Adlai Stevenson, Theodore Sorenson, Andrei Gromyko, Anatoly Dobrynin, McGeorge Bundy, Dean Acheson, Dean Rusk, and General Curtis LeMay. In addition many others -- politicians, diplomats and soldiers -- were on the front line of the showdown. In Thirteen Days, we see all of these people, -- and, above all -- President John F. Kennedy and his brother Bobby, through the eyes of a trusted presidential aide and confidante, Kenneth P. O'Donnell. … More

Critic Reviews for Thirteen Days
All Critics (139) | Top Critics (33) | Fresh (98) | Rotten (20) | DVD (27)
Thirteen Days is a good movie about a profound moment in world history.
Who would've thought this nearly 40-year-old piece of history could be turned into such a riveting motion picture?
Thirteen Days is more suspenseful than the car crashes and breathless chases of most run-of-the-mill action movies.
"Days" terrifically evinces those days' timorous uncertainty of whether Red dread over ending the world matched Yankee angst. The knowing glances at its conclusion speak volumes: The planet's lucky break had only to do with random chance.
Suspenseful and efficient--to the point that it feels like a soulless, though remarkably well-calibrated, machine.
Thirteen Days will not satisfy young viewers looking for a thriller or older audiences eager to look behind the scenes of an unforgettable two weeks in history.
Mesmo recriando um incidente hist�rico, o filme funciona bem como thriller pol�tico e traz duas �timas atua��es de Greenwood e Culp.
Thirteen Days is a gripping history lesson and a good character study, but also just a well-cast, well-executed film.
Why hire a star, or 'allow' a star to hire himself, and then give him nothing to do? Why hire a star who doesn't seem able to do much to begin with?
The story is so gripping and the ensemble performances so dominating that Donaldson really manages to disguise the fact that the movie is just a succession of conversations between middle-aged white men.
Walking out of the movie, our historical knowledge was improved only a whit - now we know the entire shebang lasted 13 days. And I knew that from the preview!
A fitting dramatic tribute to the deadly brinksmanship that pulled us back from the edge during the most volatile two weeks of the Cold War.
Swept me along with its narrative, making me forget for a while that we would eventually make it out alive.
Thirteen Days delivers a hugely engaging look at the closest we've come to the end of the world...and makes you marvel at how we pulled back from the brink.
Ernest performances from its actors, with an ability to unfold an historical turning point in a very entertaining, dramatic way.
A thrilling investigation into the decisions and internal power struggles that shaped what was perhaps John F. Kennedy's most crucial political situation.
Inteligente recordatorio de que cuando la sensatez y la raz�n dominan por encima de las decisiones viscerales o pol�ticas, �ste puede ser un mundo mucho mejor
a powerful political thriller that is all the more unnerving because it is based in truth
A political thriller about President Kennedy's most successful moments of his flawed presidency...
If you like intelligent thrillers, political drama, or skilful dramatizations of history, then you're going to love Thirteen Days.
Audience Reviews for Thirteen Days
"If the sun comes up tomorrow, it is only because of men of good will. And that's - that's all there is between us and the devil."
A dramatization of President Kennedy's administration's struggle to contain the Cuban Missile Crisis in October of 1962.
In the 1960's few realized how close the world came to Nuclear Winter. Even today, with all the resources at hand, fewer care who prevented the Third World War. One thing is certain, America was enormously fortunate to have had as President of the United States, John F. Kennedy (Bruce Greenwood) during those nearly fatal "Thirteen Days." As the thinking man's president, Mr. Kennedy was lucky to have in his cabinet men of intellect and reason. His main confidante was his younger brother, Robert Kennedy (Steven Culp) who proved invaluable as Attorney General. When the world learned of the Nuclear threat ninety miles away, Kennedy came to rely heavily on his political adviser Kenny O'Donnell (Kevin Costner) who displayed cautious insight and prudent judgment in critical moments which could have proved disastrous had the Joint Chiefs of Staff gotten their way.
Further, Kennedy was definitely fortunate to have selected as his ambassador to the United Nations, Adlai Stevenson (Michael Fairman) who stood toe to toe with Russian's Valerian Zorin (Oleg Vidov) and did not back down. The film is dramatic and terrifyingly accurate with dated Black and White footage and actual verbal scripts from hidden recordings from the oval office. What we know today is; had the Administration followed the prodding of the military, they would have initiated the Third World War as the Russian military in Cuba, actually had short range Atomic warheads at their disposal. This is a frightening film for rational people.

Great film! A movie that I've watched at school that was legit, not a lame educational movie. A very good adaptation of the drama and conflict behind the Cuban Missle Crisis. Fueled mostly by great performances and powerful dialogue, this film is a great historical drama. The emotion and intensity in the story is very believable. We truly were on the brink of war, and this film I believe captures a realistic look into what occured. I recommend this film to everyone, especially History buffs.More

As far as I'm concerned, this is director Roger Donaldson's greatest film. Thirteen Days is set during the two week long Cuban missile crises of October 1962. Thirteen Days is a powerful dramatic thriller about those events, that brought the world near a nuclear war. A very tense, suspenseful film, Thirteen Days is an impressive film, and we see how the American government try to handle the more than fragile situation. Because after all, this was at the high of the cold war. Director Roger Donaldson does a phenomenal job at building up the tension throughout the film. Donaldson is so good at tension building that you cannot look away from the film because you want to know how all this will end. Thirteen Days is one of the few films that I have seen that brilliantly builds up its thrills and suspense to a very good climax. The cast is well chosen and the best performances here are Kevin Costner and Bruce Greenwood.. These are the two who really deliver on screen, but theres not a single bad casting choice. Thirteen Days is one great dramatic Thriller about one of the most tense two weeks of the entire cold war. Roger Donaldson has delivered a great film thats definitely not boring, even though theres a lot of talking involved. The film will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end and is a terrific thriller supported by a great cast of actors. Thirteen Days is an excellent film that sheds light on those drastic, tense two weeks of October 1962. This is a film that very powerful and compelling, a very interesting depiction of a dark time in history.More

Would've liked it better if it was simply a dramatized version of the actual events & not over-dramatized.More

New soles for pope? Rome's Borgo's the go-to place - 0 Comments
ROME — When a future pope needed new soles, he strolled to a shoe repair shop practically around the corner from the Vatican. When he was pope and nearing retirement, he had the same shoemaker craft a pair of comfy, calfskin slippers.
Borgo, the sleepy, medieval neighborhood with a timeless feel right outside the Vatican's borders, has been at the service of pontiffs for centuries. From resoling to risotto, from light bulbs to linguine, Borgo is the go-to place for up-and-coming cardinals and sometimes even for popes.

BOGOTÁ, Colombia, Sept. 12 — Electoral authorities in Venezuela today rejected an opposition petition, signed by 3.2 million people, demanding a recall referendum on the rule of its leftist president, Hugo Chávez.
The decision by the five-member National Electoral Council, considered neutral in Venezuela's simmering political stalemate, was a serious blow to a broad antigovernment movement that had hoped to end Mr. Chávez's term with a recall later this year.
Now it is virtually impossible that a referendum will take place before January. Though Mr. Chávez's adversaries quickly promised to regroup, the president's supporters celebrated today.
"The opposition has been irresponsible, and they have deceived their own people into believing in them," said Tarek William Saab, a congressman and close ally of Mr. Chávez.
The council voted 3-0 to reject the petition because the signatures were collected months before the Aug. 19 midpoint of Mr. Chávez's six-year term, a violation of electoral guidelines, said Francisco Carrasquero, the president of the council. Two of the council's members abstained from the vote.
The council also found other procedural problems with the petition and the group that collected the signatures, Sumate, which loosely means "join" in Spanish.
Mr. Carrasquero told reporters the petition was "not a formal request submitted to this electoral agency, but rather a type of proclamation."
Today, the government's leading foes said another petition drive would begin on Oct. 5.
"Now we are closer to victory," said Enrique Mendoza, governor of Miranda State and a main foe of Mr. Chávez.
"We are going to reaffirm our commitment," he said. "We just need a bit of patience."
The council's decision, while widely expected, is yet another victory for Mr. Chávez, who was first elected to office in 1998 after promising to purge the elites from government and give voice to Venezuela's poor masses. He has already survived one coup attempt and four economically devastating national strikes.
The decision means that an opposition led by business executives, labor leaders and news organization owners has to start from scratch once again to collect signatures from at least 20 percent of registered voters, or 2.4 million people, as required to initiate a referendum. The signatures that were rejected today had been collected starting on Feb. 2.
The council, meanwhile, still has to issue legal guidelines for collecting signatures and holding a referendum, while naming regional overseers for a vote and the updating of archaic voter registration rolls. Once the council is presented with fresh signatures — not likely to happen before the middle of October now — it has 30 days to verify the validity of the signatures. A referendum would be held within 60 days after that.
A referendum would be successful and would cut short Mr. Chávez's term if more people voted to have him removed from office than the 3.7 million who voted for him in 2000, when he was re-elected. Opinion surveys by organizations linked to the opposition say Venezuelans would vote 2 to 1 against Mr. Chávez.
A referendum is seen by opposition figures and the Bush administration as the best solution to the political turmoil that has gripped this oil-rich country. Stability in Venezuela is crucial to American policy makers, who see the country as a critical component in the supply of oil to the United States.
Washington's efforts to push for a referendum, though, have irked the Venezuelan government. After Charles Shapiro, the American ambassador, held talks with the electoral council on Sept. 3 and offered technical assistance, Mr. Chávez warned the United States to back off.
"This is a sovereign nation, ambassador, and you must respect this country," Mr. Chávez said on his radio show last Sunday.
Though opposition figures said they would accept the ruling, there was some disagreement about the decision among the council members. "There were things I agreed with and things I did not agree with," one member, Ezequiel Zamora, said in explaining why he abstained. He told reporters he would offer "a full explanation" on Monday.

Many personal computers connected to the Internet will more than likely eventually become infected with spyware, malware, viruses or Trojan horses. Such programs spread via spam, bad links or freeware. Once they invade your computer, they can do anything they want, such as disabling your antivirus software, tracking your keystrokes and deleting files.
McAfee & Webroot Conflict
Founded by entrepreneur Steven Thomas in 1997, Webroot is a company that makes antivirus and antispyware programs. John McAfee, another entrepreneur, established McAfee in 1987. Although McAfee and Webroot both protect computers, the two programs should never run simultaneously.
About McAfee and Webroot
McAfee and Webroot are some of the most popular computer security programs. Both companies have features on their programs, such as firewalls and live scans, which prevent future infections. Computer owners, however, should never run two programs since they cause each other to crash. Only one antivirus program should be on a computer at once.
Spyware Prevention
Along with using computer security programs, computer owners can prevent infections by browsing the Internet with caution. They should avoid file sharing and ad-laden websites since such websites often harbor spyware. They should also avoid downloading anything without researching it beforehand use as safe a Web browser as possible.

Our thoughts and sympathies go out to our friends and colleagues at Northern Illinois University in the wake of this horrific tragedy. We send our deepest condolences to the victims' families, to NIU President John Peters and to the entire Northern Illinois community.
We also extend our most heartfelt wishes for a full recovery to ISU alumnus Brian Karpes, who was injured in the shooting. Brian graduated from ISU in 2007 with bachelor of science degrees in aviation management and geology. He is currently in graduate school at Northern Illinois and was reportedly shot multiple times. At this time, we know that Brian has survived surgery for his injuries but remains in intensive care at St. Anthony Hospital in Rockford, Ill. Please keep Brian and his family in your thoughts.
This senseless act of violence reminds all of us of the need to continuously evaluate and assess our safety measures, emergency response systems and emergency notification procedures. Indiana State takes this responsibility very seriously. An overview of our current procedures is available on the Office of Public Safety website at: http://www1.indstate.edu/pubsafety/safetyatisu.html
As always our Student Counseling Center staff members are prepared to help students affected by this tragedy, especially those who have friends or relatives attending Northern Illinois.
As we keep the entire Northern Illinois University in our thoughts, I encourage my campus colleagues to also take time to discuss this event with students if they wish to do so.
In response to the shooting incident at Northern Illinois University on Thursday (Feb. 14), Indiana State University President Lloyd W. Benjamin III has issued a statement of condolences. Brian Karpes, a 2007 graduate of ISU, was among those injured in the shooting.

So Much Better Than "Don't Worry, Be Happy" – Luke 12:22-31 9/23/2014

No call, no acknowledgement.... he just didn't show up in court! I still received an invoice, which I ignored, and Mr. Risler didn't pursue the matter, which is fortunate, because the second attorney I hired was excellent.

The experimental amateur-built airplane experienced a total loss of engine power during a phase one test flight. The pilot performed a forced landing on a field where airplane nosed-over due to the rough condition of the field that precluded a normal landing rollout. Before the phase 1 test flight, the pilot had returned the engine to the kit manufacturer for repair due to leaking engine coolant. Postaccident examination of the engine revealed catastrophic damage; the engine head bolt had been tighten above the engine manufacturer's torque values, which indicated that the kit manufacturer used excessive torque on the head bolts in an attempt to repair coolant leakage through the engine head. The postaccident examination showed that the engine was assembled with cast and not forged pistons, which should be used in high performance applications. The bending and thread damage on the intact connecting rod bolt for the forward right cylinder and the mating thread damage in the connecting rod were consistent with the bolt backing out until it sheared the remaining threads. Another bolt that backed out of position was also present on the connecting rod in the middle right position. Measurements of cylinder wall carbon lines showed a variance in size, which may have been due to hydraulic lock related bending of the connecting rods.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Well... almost. A CNN report sheds light on these real 'zombies' in nature.
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - New research at Pennsylvania State University has shed light on "zombie" ants - or ants that have been affected to exhibit zombie-like symptoms by a parasite, according to a new report from CNN's Light Years blog.
"There are several examples in nature where parasites manipulate host behavior to further their own reproductive goals," writes CNN's Elizabeth Landau. Research from David Hughes, assistant professor of entomology and biology at Pennsylvania State University, studies "real-life zombie scenarios among ants."
From Light Years:
A new study from Penn Medicine researchers in the Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics demonstrated that bed bugs, like the triatomines, can transmit Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease.
The program enables pest management professionals (PMPs) to evaluate ActiveGuard Mattress Liners in real world applications.
Ronnie Caldwell, president of Innovative Pest Management, Denver, N.C., is one of the stars of the new Bruce Hedrick video 'A Better Man.'
The country has detected its first domestic case of the painful mosquito-borne viral disease chikungunya in the southwest of the country, the state government of Chiapas said on Saturday.
The company's 1st Bi-Annual Thermal Remediation Bed Bug National Conference will be held March 8-10, 2015 in Grapevine, Texas.

"When the humans aren't looking, I sneak the cats expensive milk."
I have a 16 year of cat who has to drink special (expensive) milk every day. My 2 year old yorkie, Sophia, thinks this milk is gold and will do anything to get some. I caught her sneaking the leftovers today. It's all over the floor and all over her beard… Busted!!

Mom says, "A coyote has been spotted in our neighborhood. She knows he is out there, but she doesn't realize he would consider her no more than a tasty snack. I thought I was done worrying about good-looking bad boys with bad intentions when our youngest daughter hit adulthood. Guess not."

Distaff Counterpart of boy bands. These ladies will generally be attractive and may sing in suitably Stripperiffic outfits. While girl groups have a predominantly female fan base, they do have a sizable number of male fans, a sharp contrast to a boy band's almost all-female fan base. In other words, girls want to be them, boys want to sleep with them. Although girls groups typically aren't as massive as boy bands, they have stayed relatively popular over the years outside of the US. However, boy bands have made a comeback and, although One Direction are far ahead of any girl group, the rest of the market is mostly on an equal level to the girls. Compare Idol Singer.
Real examples (in rough chronological order):
Fictional ones:
The term "girl group" has also been used to describe rock bands that are composed entirely or mostly of women. Most of these "girl groups" resent this name, due to its connections with pop music and the inherent Double Standard involving rock bands composed of men being called the even more detested label of boy band.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Your weekend weather
Get ready to slap on sunscreen and a dorky hat, kids, because summer is almost here.
Is that exciting, or what? I know what you're thinking. You're thinking: "Hey, I thought summer was ALREADY here, what with all the hot, sunny weather and everything."
Well, as a respected weather professional, let me just say this: You are an idiot! What we've been enjoying the past few weeks, with a few notable exceptions, has just been really nice SPRING weather.
My point is, it may have been pleasant, but it wasn't (bad word) summer weather. It wasn't "official." But -- and this is the exciting part -- summer officially arrives in this hemisphere on Wednesday with the summer solstice, the longest day of the year.
On that day, it will be legal for you to go outside and get a wicked sunburn, but that's probably not going to happen, because things are looking a little iffy at the moment. My buddy Dale Marciski at Environment Canada says today, just in time for the Red River Ex, we'll see showers and a risk of a thunderstorm in the morning, with a high of 20 C, down from the normal high of 24 C at this time of year.
Yes, rain and the Ex at the same time! "I don't know how that happens," Dale said. "There's a trough of low pressure coming just in time for the Ex. By the end of Saturday afternoon, there should be some sun.
"I'm not predicting a beautiful clear blue sky, but it should be pretty decent. There's no real hot weather this week. The pattern seems to be a little cloudy and a little showery. It's not going to rain all the time; it's just not that stretch of warm dry weather."
We're looking at more clouds on Sunday -- Urgent Gift Reminder: This also happens to be Father's Day! -- and a high of 21 C. And the first day of summer? That's right: Clouds and a 60 per cent chance of rain.
Fortunately, spring is going out with a major bang in the sense there's a ton of stuff to do, such as heading to the Ex for the monster roller-coaster, the games, the entertainment and the mini-doughnuts.
Also, this is the opening weekend of the Winnipeg International Jazz Festival, with lots of free, funky shows at The Cube in Old Market Square. You'll find more information at www.jazzwinnipeg.com .
You and your bike can wheel down to The Forks Market Plaza today from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the annual Mountain Equipment Co-op Bike Fest, featuring free repair clinics, a decorating station, live music, prizes and bike polo matches.
On Sunday, I suggest dragging Dad outside to watch thousands of people in expensive sneakers take part in the 34th running of the Manitoba Marathon. Make Dad sit in a lawn chair, wearing sunscreen and a dorky hat. Tell him I said that's "official!"

A 43-year-old Oconomowoc man was accused on Saturday, June 14, of pinning his 15-year-old son to the ground and repeatedly punching him in the head.
Neal Wallace, 419 S. Concord Road, was charged on Monday, June 16, in Waukesha County Circuit Court with one felony count of physical abuse of a child. If convicted, Wallace faces up to six years in prison and $10,000 in fines.
According to the criminal complaint, police responded to a report of a physical altercation at the intersection of Nike Drive and E. Main Street in the city of Waukesha.
The fight allegedly broke out because Wallace was upset with his son for staying out late with his friends.
A verbal argument erupted between the two after Wallace picked up his son and began driving them home.
The argument turned physical, the complaint states, and escalated when Wallace allegedly pulled his son from the vehicle, twisted his arm behind his son's back then pinned him to the ground and pounded on his son's head, back and ribs.
Multiple witnesses said in the complaint that the boy was crying and screaming during the incident, at one point shouting out, "Please help me. Call the cops."
According to court records, a court commissioner set Wallace's signature bond at $1,500. If released, Wallace is not to have any kind of violent contact with his son.
His court hearing is scheduled for Monday, July 7.

LNFI is the perfect setting to touch the hearts and minds of at-risk children. I'm a first year program director, yet I've already seen dramatic changes in my kids. The joy is evident when they walk in the room. The children know that they are coming into a safe and loving environment. It is an honor to work with these kids; and being able to tell them how important and exceptional they are is amazing.

No Vuelta for Kreuziger as CAS upholds provisional suspension
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has blocked Roman Kreuziger's hopes of riding the Vuelta a España, deciding Wednesday that his appeal against the provisional suspension imposed on him by the UCI was invalid. CAS issued the decision a short while ago and closed off the Czech rider's last chance of riding the Spanish […]

Legal drive-bys? Case against 'stand-your-ground' false
Rep. Stephen Shurtleff, D-Penacook, is House majority leader and the sponsor of House Bill 135, which would repeal the state's "stand your ground" law. That 2011 law made it legal for a person to use deadly force in self defense in response to the use of deadly force "anywhere he or she has a right to be."
In a column we have printed on the opposite page, Shurtleff makes some misleading claims to promote his bill, which is on the House calendar for Wednesday. The most misleading is his use of a 2011 Manchester homicide in which Tony Hebert was charged with shooting to death Pablo Samniego. Hebert was in his car, the reportedly unarmed Samniego on a sidewalk with a friend.
"Had this incident occurred just four months later, after 'stand your ground' became law in New Hampshire, Hebert would have more legal cover for his actions. The ability to safely remove oneself from an encounter, even when the person knows it wouldn't expose himself or herself or anyone else to danger, is no longer even taken into consideration. Under 'stand your ground,' resorting to violence is legal even when the person knows he or she doesn't need to."
This is false. Hebert's defense has asserted - but offered no evidence - that the victim acted aggressively. The law states very clearly that the defensive use of deadly force is justified if the person "reasonably believes" the aggressor "is about to use unlawful, deadly force against the actor or a third person" or use deadly force in the commission of a short list of other crimes. That did not change with the addition of the "stand your ground" clause. That clause simply added the words "or anywhere he or she has the right to be" to the portion of the law describing where such a defense can be used without first attempting to flee. It did not remove the rest of the law requiring the use of deadly force to be a legally justified act of self defense.
Using the term "drive-by shooting" (Hebert was stopped, according to reports), Shurtleff implies that gangland-style killings are now legally justifiable in New Hampshire. They clearly are not, and if the House majority leader really thinks otherwise that is truly shocking.
Shurtleff says opponents of his bill were not truthful when they claimed it would "force people to 'turn and run' from an attack." He then states repeatedly that his bill would make it illegal to use violence if one could "safely remove oneself from an encounter..." In other words, it would require people to "'turn and run' from an attack" if they could. Why would he claim otherwise?
Opponents of New Hampshire's narrowly tailored "stand your ground" law (it is not the confusing mess they have in Florida) have resorted to distortions and misrepresentations about the law's effects since before it was enacted. They cannot make a compelling case for repeal otherwise because the law is not the danger to public safety that they claim it is. This is self-evident. If the law had made New Hampshire less safe, there would be a strong case for scrapping it. Opponents do the public a disservice by falsely claiming that it has.

OPP: I Look Like His Sister
by Slacker And Steve
posted Oct 25 2013 5:39PM
Rachel has a problem with her boyfriend's sister. It's not her character or the way she treats other people…it's her looks! Wait before you jump to conclusions...it is because she looks…exactly like her! She showed up to dinner with his parent's and met her boyfriend's sister for the first time and couldn't stop staring because she looks, acts, speaks and dresses the same as her. We are talking identical! She even goes as far as to say that they share many of the same mannerisms like hair twirling. It is weirding her out because she is afraid that he may think of his sister during intimate moments.
Slacker said he knows someone distantly related that had a thing for him and would date men that looked like him through all of his style changes. Steve thinks it was as if she was looking for him. Steve said he would be freaked out if someone walked in that looked just like him. If it is a strong enough resemblance then it could be a strange attraction to his sister. Slacker once broke up with a girl because they were getting intimate and a journey song was on and when he looked down for some reason he realized she reminded him of Steve Perry. Are we reading too far into this?
What should Rachel do? Should she confront him?
