CHICAGO – Many Americans find it challenging to fill half their plate each meal with fruits and vegetables – a recommendation of the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics encourages Americans to add both color and nutrients to Memorial Day cookouts by grilling with a variety of healthy fruits and vegetables.
"Fill up on fewer calories with nutrient-rich, low-calorie produce," says registered dietitian nutritionist and Academy spokesperson Judy Caplan. "It's not only good for your waistline, but water-rich produce will also help keep you hydrated on hot summer days."
A quick and easy way to pack nutrients into your grill-centered meal is to skewer marinated vegetables like red, yellow or orange bell peppers, mushrooms, eggplant, cherry tomatoes and onions into a tasty kabob. Simply brush the vegetables with olive oil and your favorite herbs and spices, and grill over medium heat; turning until marked and tender (about 12 – 15 minutes and 8 – 10 minutes for cherry tomatoes and pre-boiled potatoes).
"For a sweet treat, grill sliced watermelon for about 30 seconds on each side," says Caplan. "Some of the water will evaporate over the heat, which leaves an intensely flavored watermelon slice to savor and enjoy."
Summer squash like zucchini, patty pans and yellow crooknecks are other delicious options that you can stuff, bake, steam or grill:
Sweet potatoes add a splash of color and are loaded with beta-carotene – a carotenoid that is great for eye health and is an anti-oxidant, which can help keep your cells healthy:

All registered dietitians are nutritionists – but not all nutritionists are registered dietitians. The Academy's Board of Directors and Commission on Dietetic Registration have determined that those who hold the credential registered dietitian (RD) may optionally use "registered dietitian nutritionist" (RDN) instead. The two credentials have identical meanings.

The Academy is committed to improving the nation's health and advancing the profession of dietetics through research, education and advocacy.

Video: Wicked Laser 'lightsabers' lasers incinerating a new iPad
We know, you're so sick of iPad news and hearing about "Heatgate" all over the Internet. Sit back and relax, because this video of three of Wicked Laser's powerful lasers setting an iPad on fire — ever so slowly — is sure to warm the Android and Microsoft camps.
Wicked Laser's "lightsabers" aren't toys. They're powerful enough to pop popcorn kernels, burn your hand, blind you and screw up satellites from a distance. They're very dangerous if used improperly and without any kind of safety glasses.
Like RatedRR who shot a brand new iPad with assault rifles and shotguns, this guy decided it'd be fun to torture and kill an iPad — slowly — with a combo of three Wicked Lasers: Spyder III, S3 Arctic and S3 Krypton.
As I told DVICE captain Kevin Hall, what economic slump? If people or companies can afford to destroy $500 tablets for a little viral video, I think the world is in better financial shape than we think it is.

William Ralph Herzog was born in Troy, N.Y., 29 December 1909 and was commissioned Lieutenant, junior grade, USNR, 8 April 1942. Lieutenant Herzog was assigned as Officer-in-Charge of the Armed Guard detachment on board SS Pan New York. When his ship was torpedoed in the North Atlantic 29 October 1942, Herzog found his gun crew trapped amidships. He attempted to batter the door with his shoulder unsuccessfully, and after aiding the radio operator to escape through a porthole courageously returned to force the door by breaking the lock with his pistol. Herzog was again unable to free his men, and fell unconscious in the attempt. He was posthumously awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Medal for his heroism.
(DE-178: dp. 1,240; l. 306'; b. 36'8" ; dr. 8'9" ; s. 21; cpl. 186; a. 3 3", 3 tt, 2 dct.; 8 dcp; l dcp (h.h.) ; cl. Gannon)
Herzog (DE-178) was launched by Federal Shipbuilding & Drydock Co., Newark, N.J., 5 September 1943; sponsored by Mrs. Alice A. Herzog, mother of the namesake; and commissioned 6 October 1943, Lt. Comdr. J. C. Toft, Jr., in command.
After conducting shakedown operations out of Bermuda, Herzog steamed from New York 29 November 1943 on her first escort mission, accompanying Ariel to the West Indies and back to New York. Arriving 18 December, she got underway as part of the escort for a merchant convoy. Protecting the ships through the dangerous Caribbean passages, Herzog arrived at the Canal Zone 27 December. Subsequently she served as escort ship on shorter voyages between Recife, Brazil, and Trinidad.
From 14 April 1944 until 14 July Herzog served with Task Group 41.6 on patrol in the South Atlantic. Working with escort carrier Solomons she searched the seas in the never ending battle against German submarines. On 15 June she was detached to pick up survivors from a German sub sunk by aircraft, and after returning to the group steamed to Recife, arriving 23 June. After another brief cruise with the Task Group, she returned to Recife 16 July. 'She sailed to the Brazilian Naval Base at Natal 28 July and was placed out of commission and loaned to the Brazilian Navy under lend-lease 1 August 1944. The ship served Brazil as Ee'benbe (D-23), and 30 June 1953 was transferred outright to that country under the Mutual Defense Assistance Program.
Herzog (DE-277) was built by Boston Navy Yard, Boston, Mass, in 1943. She was renamed HMS Gore while building and transferred to Great Britain under lend-lease 14 October 1943. Serving throughout the war as Gore, she was returned to the United States 2 May 1946 and sold 10 June 1947.

MLAs call on government to cut department salaries
By: Sara Wilson
| Posted: Monday, Apr 14, 2014 11:33 am
Chestermere-Rocky View MLA Bruce McAllister said he believes the Alberta government is wasting taxpayer dollars on unnecessary and overpaid communications staff.
McAllister said the money wasted on excessive communications staff could be put to better use.
"We have schools being promised all over the province without so much as a shovel in the ground," McAllister said. "I think Albertans are far more interested in having classroom space for their kids than having more spin doctors on the government payroll."
Airdrie MLA Rob Anderson spoke up about the salaries included in the Canadian Taxpayers Foundation (CTF) findings that showed the government has 214 full-time communications staff across all government departments at a cost of $23 million.
"This is a classic example of bureaucratic waste and out-of-touch priorities," Anderson said. "There is simply no way to justify having well over 200 communicators each making more than $100,000 a year on average. It just shows the PC government is more concerned with spin and image than actually delivering good government for Albertans."
According to the CTF, the average government communications staffer earns $107,844.88 annually.
Those figures, according to David Sands, spokesperson for the Alberta government, are misleading.
"Of the 214, 137 of those are classified as public affairs officers and they would earn within the range of $50,000 to $89,000," Sand said. "The remainder would be managers and department heads."
Anderson said the communications staff and their salaries is symptomatic of the PC culture of waste and entitlement.
"You'd think with all these highly paid communications experts on the government payroll, they wouldn't have to contract out these kinds of projects," Anderson said.
Sand said the department and employees are playing a vital role in getting information to the public.
"I want people to get a full picture of what he's talking about," Sand said. "These people are getting information out to the public."

TORONTO — It seems as if it has been quite a long time since Amir Johnson expressed disbelief at the amount of money the Toronto Raptors agreed to give him.
During the summer of 2010, the same one in which Chris Bosh bolted for Miami, the Raptors signed Johnson to a five-year contract worth about US$30-million, with a maximum value of nearly US$35-million if he reached certain incentives. Johnson was surprised he got such an offer, as were a lot of observers across the league.
Anybody who is paying attention now sees the merit in Bryan Colangelo's decision. And they might have showed some concern when Johnson landed on the foot of a Milwaukee Bucks player on Sunday afternoon, let out a scream, and went to the locker room with a sore right ankle. Without Johnson, the already thin Raptors' frontcourt has no chance.
Of course, Johnson returned.
"That's Amir. Amir could have a gunshot [wound] and he'd still want to play," Johnson's teammate DeMar DeRozan said. "He's just tough. He just wants to be out there."
Johnson, in fact, played the entire second half. It was not enough, as the Raptors fell 107-96 to Milwaukee at the Air Canada Centre.
It was a defeat that exposed a lot of the Raptors' fundamental problems right now, hidden during their hot play. With Jonas Valanciunas and Andrea Bargnani out, Johnson had to play 44 minutes and Ed Davis logged more than 36. That caught up with the Raptors, whose interior defence broken down frequently in the second half.
Amir could have a gunshot [wound] and he'd still want to play. He's just tough. He just wants to be out there
The Raptors also struggled to create good looks down the stretch. Kyle Lowry was brought to Toronto to be the Raptors' perimeter instigator, but he is caught right now trying to do a bit of a Jose Calderon imitation, being deferential to a fault. None of the Raptors' wings can create consistently for their teammates, and that puts a lot of pressure on Toronto's pick-and-roll offence.
But these are issues to focus on in the coming week. For now, Johnson's effort and production should be commended. Johnson said this was the fourth time he has rolled his right ankle this year — once to the right, once to the front and now twice to the left — and yet the only game he has missed has been because of a one-game suspension.
"I hate sitting out," Johnson said. "It's so boring sitting out."
"People don't understand how hurt Amir is," DeRozan said. "He comes to practice the next day and can barely get through practice.
"It makes us look at it like we can't have no excuses when we're out there on the floor. When he's in [the locker room], he can't walk. But I guarantee Amir is going to be here and help us pick it up."
Make no mistake: Johnson should not be pushing 40 minutes a night. The toll showed, as both Johnson and Davis slowed on their defensive rotations as the game went on.
He's been the unsung hero of our team, and kind of the glue and spirit of our team on the inside
However, that is generally one of Johnson's strengths.
He is an advanced-analysis wunderkind. Johnson has averaged 18.2 points and 10.8 rebounds per game over his last four, but that usually is not where Johnson's value comes out.
Somehow, Johnson had a positive plus-minus last year, despite playing nearly 1,600 minutes for a team that wound up 20 games below .500. He entered Sunday's game with a plus-96 in 822 minutes for the Raptors, the best mark on the team.
"It says everything about [him]," Casey said. "All of those intangibles that he [provides] bring about a good culture, a good atmosphere, should result in winning if you get other people who will do the same thing. He's been the unsung hero of our team, and kind of the glue and spirit of our team on the inside."
More and more, he has been defining the Raptors, both in victory and defeat.

LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — Ian Kinsler hit his first two home runs for the Detroit Tigers, highlighting a 14-3 win over the Houston Astros on Saturday.
Kinsler drove in four runs. Torii Hunter and Danny Worth each had three RBIs.
Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer pitched 4 2-3 innings, giving up three runs and five hits, including Robbie Grossman's first spring homer.
Houston starter Lucas Harrell was tagged for 12 hits and nine earned runs in 1 2-3 innings. Doubles by Hunter and Nick Castellanos were among eight hits in a six-run first inning.
Kinsler homered in the second inning after a single by Miguel Cabrera. The three-time All-Star second baseman, acquired in an offseason trade that sent Prince Fielder to Texas, led off the fourth with a home run against reliever Chad Qualls.
Tyler Collins homered, tripled and singled for the Tigers.

Culpable homicide is a specific offence in various jurisdictions within the Commonwealth of Nations which involves the illegal killing of a person either with or without an intention to kill depending upon how a particular jurisdiction has defined the offence. Unusually for those legal systems which have originated or been influenced during rule by England or later by the United Kingdom, the name of the offence associates with Scots law rather than English law.
"Culpable homicide" offences are found in the following jurisdictions; the description of the local version of the offence is given where available:
The term is part of the Criminal Code of Canada (sec 222), where all killings of persons are classified as culpable or not culpable homicide. In Canada there are three types of culpable homicide: murder, manslaughter and infanticide. Killings classified as not culpable are justifiable killings; thus the term is used to define the criminal intent or mens rea of a killing. Non-culpable homicide includes those committed in self-defence. Self-defence is only admissible if the assault resulting in murder was unprovoked. (Self-Defence Against Unprovoked Assault S. 34 CCC)
The offences include causing death whether by intention or not.
"Culpable homicide" is an offence under s.299 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), defined as "Whoever causes death by doing an act with the intention of causing death, or with the intention of causing such bodily injury as is likely to cause death, or with the knowledge that he is likely by such act to cause death, commits the offence of culpable homicide."
"Culpable homicide not amounting to murder" is an offence under s.304 of the Indian Penal Code. It applies to an event where the death is intentional but does not come within the IPC definition of "murder". Accused charged with culpable homicide will not get bail. It is non-bailable.
The Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) in earlier form included the offence of "culpable homicide" for acts of homicide resulting from the infliction of intentional harm upon a person.
Amendments in recent years have replaced the specific phrase "culpable homicide" within those sections and introduced terms from Sharia law but it remains in s.38 (Persons concerned in criminal act may be guilty of different offences).
The current equivalent sections are :-
Whoever, with the intention of causing death or with the intention of causing bodily injury to a person, by doing an act which in the ordinary course of nature is likely to cause death, or with-the knowledge that his act is so imminently dangerous that it must in all probability cause death, causes the death of such person, is said to commit qatl-e-amd."
Where a person, by doing anything which he intends or knows to be likely to cause death, causes death of any person whose death he neither intends nor knows himself to be likely to cause, such an act committed by the offender shall be liable for qatl-i-amd."
Following sections of the PPC deal further with the offence in increased detail.
Culpable homicide is committed where the accused has caused loss of life through wrongful conduct, but where there was no intention to kill or "wicked recklessness".[1] It is an offence under common law and is roughly equivalent to the offence of manslaughter in English law.
While the offence charged remains the same there can be a great variation between individual cases including whether or not the act was voluntary or involuntary:
The offence has previously been applied to individual defendants but following the collapse of a trial brought against Transco following the deaths of four people in a gas explosion in Larkhall in 1999 and other fatal events involving corporate bodies the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007[2] has introduced a new statutory offence of "corporate homicide" into Scots law.
"Culpable homicide" is when a person is unexpectedly killed by a person to protect themselves. It is not intentionally murdered but to protect from the victim.
"Culpable homicide" has been defined simply[3] as "the unlawful negligent killing of a human being".

Viscosupplementation is an injection of a fluid called hyaluronic acid into the knee joint.
This injection is used to treat the symptoms of
Healthy joints contain synovial fluid. This fluid lubricates and provides nutrients to the joints. One change that happens with OA is the synovial fluid becomes thinner and less useful as a lubricant for the joint.
With viscosupplementation, hyaluronic acid, which is found in synovial fluid, is injected into the knee joint. This makes the synovial fluid act as a better lubricant. It is hoped that this will reduce pain and improve function of the joint. In some cases, getting this injection may help to postpone surgery on the knee joint.
Viscosupplementation may be a good option if you have tried other types of treatment (eg, medicines, physical therapy) and these have failed.
Complications are rare. But, no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have viscosupplementation, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
These factors reduce the chance that viscosupplementation will be effective for you:
Talk to your doctor about these risks before the procedure.
Before getting this injection, your doctor will most likely have you try many other ways to treat OA, such as:
If these methods are not helpful, then viscosupplementation may be a good option for you. Before the injection, your doctor may:
If you are taking any prescription medicines, over-the-counter products, or herbs and supplements, talk to your doctor. There could be an interaction with the injection.
First, your doctor will clean the skin where the needle will be inserted. A local anesthetic may be applied to numb the area. If you have swelling in the knee joint, the doctor will use a needle to remove the excess fluid. Next, a needle will be used to inject the hyaluronic acid into the joint. If needed, both knees can be done at the same appointment.
While your schedule for receiving injections will vary depending on the brand, you may have a cycle of three injections (eg, on days 1, 8, and 15) or just one. You may need to go through injections more than once. In some cases, it can relieve pain for months to years.
The procedure usually takes a few minutes to do.
You may feel the prick of the needle. Right after the injection, you may have some mild pain, warmth, and swelling around the knee joint.
When you return home after the procedure, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
As you go through the injection cycles, you may have:

The Dollar Vigilante
Ringo: The Ex-Pat Dog
by Wendy McElroy
Ringo is moving to
Galt's Gulch Chile
with us.
The big guy wandered up our driveway four years ago in the dark, early hours of a fall morning. My study is just off the foyer, and I was hunkered down over my computer when Bear – a dog since deceased – erupted into a string of barking in the front yard. That wasn't unusual. Bear patrolled the perimeter of our farm every night and he challenged every shadow that dared to move. But the barking went on far longer this time than could be explained by a trespassing shadow or a scofflaw raccoon.
I finally flipped on the porch light and stepped outside. A skeletal black dog stood in our driveway about five feet away from the yapping Bear. His large head sagged down between his shoulders as though the weight of it was about to bring him to his knees. At the sight of me, he stiffened. Hustling Bear inside the house, I grabbed a bowl full of pet food, dashed back out and approached the strange dog slowly.
Starving animals at our front door is nothing new. People from Toronto drive out to the country and throw their unwanted pets out the car door like bags of trash. So I knew the routine. I rattled the food in the bowl and the dog edged toward me, his eyes focused on the promise of food. But the big guy was so weak and frightened that his back legs collapsed and the next step came only by dragging the hind legs behind him.
I crossed most of the distance between us and put the bowl down, stepping back immediately afterward. He ate, then looked at me. I reclaimed the bowl which still held some food and extended it out in front of me while I backed away. He followed me into the garage and fell to the cement floor with an exhausted sigh.
I left him for the night with food and water. When Brad and I checked on him the next day, we found an affectionate dog whose worst fear had quickly become that we would abandon him. Every time we started to get up off the floor and leave, he tried to pin us down, sometimes by literally sitting on us. We later learned he was a cross between a Great Pyrenees and a border collie, both of whom are herding dogs; they do whatever's required to keep a sheep from straying. The sheep that were Brad and me were going nowhere. We quickly came up with a term to describe the condition of being sat upon to prevent an exit: we were "ass-mastered."
His name is Ringo. He is not named after the Beatles' drummer but after the best canine character to grace the pages of science fiction; Ringo absolutely steals the novel Buddy Holly is Alive and Well on Ganymede. At the point when we named him, Ringo became ours even though it took us a few days to understand the reality that Ringo knew as soon as he stumbled into the garage. We're family.
Chile is not the first country to which we've considered moving. Our time in North America is coming to an end, although it will take a few years to tie up loose ends and prepare a graceful relocation. In every nation, one detail of moving has been a deal breaker. If you don't want our dog, then you don't want us. And don't even try to explain how Ringo would only be in a quarantine cage for 6 months because, after being abandoned by us for that period, all the joy and hope would be extinguished from his eyes. And I won't do that.
Chile obviously loves dogs and cats. Because it is a prosperous nation, the people of Chile can afford the true luxury of befriending another species. There is an abundance of pet clinics, pet stores, an entire culture of pet ownership into which Ringo can galumph and stick his nose. (I never knew what galumph meant until I watched him run from behind.)
More importantly, the requirements for importation of dogs and cats are reasonable and humane; they do not quarantine healthy pets but they do require evidence of the pet being disease free. In essence, Ringo needs to be microchipped with a chip that complies with ISO Standard 11784 or Annex A to ISO standard 11785. His current chip will have to be checked. The chip is the manner in which officials will ascertain that Ringo is the dog for whom the "pet passport" has been issued. It is his ID. Ringo's passport must indicate that he was vaccinated for rabies between 30 days and 12 months prior to travel; our veterinarian will need to send the vaccination certificate to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency for its stamp of endorsement. (In America, the approval goes through the USDA.) A few days prior to traveling, Ringo will need to take a tick and tapeworm test.
To flesh out the passport's minimum requirements, Ringo has and will have a full slate of vaccinations; his full vet records will be on hand; and, he will have an International Health Certificate. The latter needs to be completed within 10 days of departure. Our documents will be translated into Spanish. We're taking no chances.
The agency with which Brad and I will deal on Ringo's behalf is
Servicio Agricola y Ganadero or SAG
. When visiting the site, go to the column "Ingreso/Salida de Chile" and clicked on the link to "Ingreso Mascotas," where there are the requirements and necessary forms.
Wonderful things rarely force themselves into your life. Ringo forced himself into our home and ass-mastered his way into our hearts. I predict it will take him no time at all to learn the Spanish words for "treat," "walk," and "drive."

Cuba is about 85 miles west of St. Louis on I-44, but the best ride is the slower trip down Route 66. There's chain hotels and a great Huddle House along the interstate, but I stayed at the wonderfully restored Wagon Wheel Motel on old Route 66 (573) 885-3411; www.wagonwheel66cuba.com.

CUBA, Mo. — Big things are in store when you visit tiny Cuba, Mo.
The biggest deal in town is the World's Largest Rocking Chair. It is 42-feet-1-inches tall, 20-feet-3-inches wide, and weighs 27,500 pounds. Technically the steel and pine chair sits on Route 66 in unincorporated Fanning on the border west of Cuba, (pop. 3,400).
The first thing most people do when they see the World's Largest Rocking Chair is run to the roadside attraction and push on it to see if it really rocks. That's what I did.
Well, it rocks as much as Bill O'Reilly, but it did have to rock once to be included in the "Guinness Book of World Records."
The chair was installed on April 1, 2008, at the Fanning 66 Outpost & General Store (573-885-1474; www.fanning66outpost.com), just four miles west of Cuba. The store includes Route 66 souvenirs, snacks, wine and big bottles of moonshine. A new archery center and pro shop have been installed in the rear of the store, whose main log cabin and brick building dates back to 1934. The outpost is owned by Dan and Carolyn Sanazaro.
"Everybody thought I was nuts," Dan Sanazaro said. "We wanted a store on old Route 66. When we opened in 2007 we thought about gas, but no one would buy gas here. We had to have some kind of attraction [a staple on Route 66]. I had seen a 10-foot rocking chair when I was a kid, plastered against the windshield looking out the window. I thought, 'Man, that would be neat to sit in'."
Big memories.
The World's Largest Rocking Chair seems incomplete without the World's Largest Hassock. And Cuba is ready. The old-timey Hayes Shoe Store at the corner of Smith and Washington along Route 66 features "The World's Largest Shoe." The size 37AA shoe was worn by Robert Wadlow (1918-40), the "Giant of Alton, Illinois." A pituitary disorder caused Wadlow to grow to 8-foot-11.1 inches in height, thus becoming "The World's Tallest Man." Current store staff is unsure how the shoe wound up in Cuba (especially since the chair had yet to be built), but reportedly Wadlow once traveled Route 66 in a promotional tour for the International Shoe Company.
One of the classic sights of a road trip is to see a stray shoe along the highway. Wadlowapparently obliged. The store also has a size 35AA shoe worn by the giant. His jet black shoes in a museum case don't match.
It's hard to find this much wacky fun in New York City.
In 1857, Cuba, Missouri, was named after the more famous island nation, which was fighting for independence at the time.
Jane Reed, media coordinator for "Viva Cuba!" betterment committee, took me around town. We did not smoke big cigars and drink rum.
"There was a post office between the chair and downtown Cuba," Reed explained. "It was called Amanda. It was named after the postmaster's wife. When they heard the San Francisco Railway (now the Burlington-Northern) was coming through, they decided they would lay out a town by the railroad. Some people wanted to name the town Amanda. Other people wanted to name it Cuba. They cast a stick. If it fell one way it was going to be Cuba. If it fell the other way it would be Amanda."
Cuba has always enjoyed its name. Besides the "Viva Cuba!" organization, during the Cuban Missile Crisis of the early 1960s a local painter installed the sign "Cuba, Mo. — No Castro" at the west entrance of town on Route 66. The Cuba High School class of 1952 traveled to the island of Cuba for its class trip.
Joe Medwick is a welder who lives on the east side of town and has known Dan Sanazaro most of his life. A few winters ago Sanazaro called Medwick with a job.
"He asked if I had a busy winter planned," Medwick, 50, recalled. "About a month later Dan rolled the [architect Johnny Bland] drawings out. I looked at them and said, 'That's a big old rocking chair!' I looked at the dimensions and said I had done a lot of things in my life but I never built a big rocking chair."
Medwick has been welding since he was 18. Before the chair, his biggest project had been a steel, self-propelled windmill for a mushroom farm in Oklahoma. It took Medwick and a partner about three months to assemble the chair on site. He also worked off a wooden 1/64th scale model Bland had built. Two cranes lifted the chair onto Medwick's rockers. He then welded the chair to the rockers. Sanazaro said the project cost about $25,000.
Medwick added, "It had to rock to get the world's record. When we got the chair welded to the rockers one guy stood at the tail end of the rocker [which sits on concrete pads] and made it rock. It will scare the hell out of you. I was afraid it would tip over backwards. We screwed around rocking it back and fourth for 45 minutes when we installed it. But we've never cut it loose since I welded it down."
Of course there was a World's Largest Rocking Chair before Cuba's materialized. Sanazaro said, "'Big John' in (Franklin) Indiana was 34 feet."
Just in the 20 minutes I was hanging out in front of the World's Largest Rocking Chair on a sunny, early January afternoon, a couple of carloads of people stopped at the outpost. They raced out of their cars and stood by the chair for photoopps.
They all were smiling. And they pushed at the chair.
More than 4,000 people visit the chair during the summer, according to Sanazaro. British comic Billy Connolly tackled Route 66 on a motorized tricycle for a television documentary and stopped at the chair.
"Tons of people were in from Europe this summer because they saw that," said Sanazaro, who was born and raised in town. "It's nothing new to the locals now. They've been there and done that."
Cuba is making the most of the World's Largest Rocking Chair.
On March 23 the city will host the "Route 66 Race to the Rocker," a four-mile race from downtown Cuba to the chair. The race begins at the Mizell Funeral Home, so watch your ticker on the way to the rocker ($25 pre-registration fee before March 1; www.jog-inc.com).
Medwick liked my footstool idea idea for adding a big footstool to complement the chair.
"As a matter of fact we looked at doing something last year with an end table and big bottle of root beer on top," Medwick said. "We were going to incorporate a spiral staircase inside the end table and have a walk platform over to the chair. We put a bunch of numbers together and it was expensive. But once a year you can have your picture taken on the rocker. A lift takes people up and it's amazing the amount of people who are uncomfortable when they get up there." (The 6th Annual Picture on the Rocker Day is scheduled for Aug. 3. Make your plans now.)
As Chicago architect Daniel Burnham said, "Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood... Make big plans; aim high in hope and work. ..."

Great pants...
By: shan87
Perfectly fitted, durable fabric. Dickies are the best pants out there for working folks. Purchased these for my son for his work as a mechanic. He even wears them during his off time. They are the classic black pant. Starched so that there is no need to iron them. Plus they are durable enough to wear for working on cars or whatever your job might be.

A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on January 27, 2000
Advocates of "gun control" desire gun prohibition, despite claiming that every "gun control" measure they support is merely a "reasonable" step that supposedly would not infringe the rights of law-abiding citizens to shoot, hunt, or protect themselves from violent crime. Anyone inclined to trust these claims would be wise to study the history of firearms registration in New York City.
In 1967, Mayor John V. Lindsay signed into law a rifle-shotgun registration ordinance passed by the New York City Council. Under that law, every person who possessed or would later possess any rifle or shotgun in New York City had to register it by make, model and serial number, and obtain a permit to possess it. The fee was set at $3.
City Councilman Theodore Weiss, sponsor of the bill, solemnly promised that the $3 fee would never be raised, but that the city would always bear the brunt of the real costs of administering the law. Seeking to allay firearms owners` fear of registration, the firearms-prohibitionist New York Times editorially vowed the bill "would protect the constitutional rights of owners and buyers. The purpose of registration would not be to prohibit but to control dangerous weapons."
Interestingly, just after the bill became law, another New York Times editorial entitled "Encouraging Rifle Registration," opposed Mayor Lindsay`s proposed amendments to increase the fee to $10, or to $25 as he had originally proposed. The Times for December 16, 1967, expressed concern that "too-high license fees right off the bat would undermine effective operation of the law. The idea is to get maximum registration for the public safety."
Notice the expression "right off the bat." What about later on? Well, today, the fee is $55, an increase of over 1,700%!
Most significantly, just before the rifle-shotgun bill became law in 1967, Vincent L. Broderick, a former New York City police commissioner who was later awarded a federal judgeship, testified at a city council committee hearing on the bill that the philosophy underlying the bill was "all wrong." According to Broderick, that philosophy assumed that all law-abiding citizens somehow had a "right to own shotguns or rifles." Broderick then added: "There should be no right to possess a firearm of any sort in 20th Century New York City, and unless good and sufficient reason is shown by an applicant, permission to possess a gun should not be granted." This was all reported in the New York Times for October 17, 1967. How prophetic!
In 1991, the New York City Council, at the prodding of Mayor David N. Dinkins, went further than Broderick. It passed, and the Mayor signed into law, a flat ban on the private possession of certain semi-automatic rifles and shotguns -- namely, certain imitation or look-alike assault firearms (New York City Administrative Code, Sec. 10-303.1). The ban was flat in the sense that it applied regardless of reason or need for the firearm -- and it was passed despite then-Police Commissioner Lee Brown`s testimony that no registered "assault weapon" had been used in a violent crime in the city.
The year after the ban was enacted, a man`s home in Staten Island was raided by the police after he had announced that he would not comply with the city`s ban. He was arrested, and his guns were seized.
The New York City Police Department (NYPD) had notified the 2,340 New Yorkers who had been licensed earlier to possess semi-automatic rifles and shotguns that any of those licensed firearms that were covered by the ban had to be surrendered, rendered inoperable or taken out of the city. The recipients of the notification were directed to send back a sworn statement indicating what had been done with those firearms.
The NYPD has reported that the majority of these previously-registered imitation assault firearms -- 2,615 out of 3,360 -- have been taken out of the city. In addition, the department`s deputy commissioner of legal matters, Jeremy Travis, told the Daily News: "for now, the department is taking owners at their word, but spot checks are planned."
This deplorable New York City saga shows that those of us who had opposed the concept of registration back in 1967, and were labeled "paranoid," were not only not paranoid but also not impractical. For the New York City story quite vividly shows the nationwide plan abart to destroy the civil right and liberty to keep arms, guaranteed by the Second Amendment and by other provisions of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, notably the Ninth Amendment.
The plan is now obvious to all who would see: First Step, enact a nationwide firearms waiting period law. Second Step, when the waiting period doesn`t reduce crime, and it won`t, then enact a nationwide registration law. Final Step, confiscate all the registered firearms.

State of the State to focus on streamlining government
ALBANY, N.Y. (WKTV/AP) - Gov. Andrew Cuomo will use his first State of the State speech to cast himself as the hard-fisted manager needed to lead New York in a fiscal crisis.
In Wednesday's speech the Democrat will call for what he considers bold action to create a rejuvenated Empire State.
Cuomo faces the worst economic slump since the recession that helped throw his father, Gov. Mario Cuomo, out of the job in 1994.
Andrew Cuomo's first major address will be before nearly 2,000 politicians and other guests. He relocated it from its traditional venue in the Assembly chamber to a large conference center in downtown Albany.
The key to his success will be the Legislature, which has derailed past governors' efforts.
Cuomo is also providing time for speeches by the leaders of the Assembly and Senate.

More details on Burnout Crash surface
Australia's Classification Board had previously outed Burnout Crash as a multiplatform title that's on the way. Upon being nudged by Joystiq to provide further insight, the following synopsis was given by the board.
"An action arcade style game set in the fictional world of Crash City. The aim of the game is to cause as much damage as possible to traffic and buildings by crashing a car into them."
So, it's essentially what we all guessed based on the name. We still aren't sure if Criterion is developing, or which Crash mode the game will be modeled after -- Burnout Paradise's, the one from prior games (yes!), or something altogether new. But, it's Burnout, so they have me by the wallet yet again.
Report: Burnout Crash is 'action arcade style', set in Crash City [Joystiq]

Is the Asus better than this HP LV2311 other than HDMI? It's unlikely someone is familiar with both of these monitors, but figured it's worth an ask.
The Asus lists a faster time (2ms vs 5ms), but that doesn't necessarily tell the whole story. The Asus outright states they cover shipping both ways in case of warranty. That's always good to hear.

Pretty good monitor
jacobsta811 ( ) Apr. 16, 2013 at 6:05am
I bought two of these from Amazon a few weeks ago at $15 more after rebate. Some of the cheapest VESA mountable LED monitors I could find, I have them flanking an Achieva Shimian in a triple monitor setup. Decent monitors for TN panels, I had no issues with them and I have one in portrait mode and it is pretty decent - not quite as good as an IPS but much better than an older TN I tried in portrait. Sharpness/Text on these is much better out of the box than the HP monitors I have tried - I have two HP 2311x on another computer and the text on these is better than those with sharpness all the way up. Otherwise pretty comparable panels except these have VESA and a good number of HP don't.

Let's be honest, finding a job isn't the easiest of tasks, even on a good day. With unemployment high, and skilled full-time work becoming harder and harder to secure, graduates need all the help they can get.
Application after application and still no interview? Interview after interview and still no luck? If this is a horribly familiar scenario, then I'm sure you can empathise with me when I stress just how important work experience is when you start out on the first rung of the career ladder.
When Should You Undertake Work Experience?
It's never too late to start racking up the experience. However, if you can get stuck in during your time at university you will definitely find it beneficial. Besides the obvious CV–enhancing and skill-learning benefits, work experience can also be great for your social life, introducing you to other like-minded people with similar interests.
With its lengthy summer breaks and the days off during the week, university offers plenty of time outside of study for you to take on some sort of work experience. There's always the weekend, too.
Where Can I Find Work Experience?
All over the place, is the short answer. You could start by looking at opportunities for volunteering, be it for a charity, in a hospital shop or for a youth group. Organisations are always on the lookout for volunteers and it's an easy way to get your foot in the door of the field you're passionate about, and to make some good contacts whilst you're at it.
If volunteering isn't your thing, why not find a part time job, a work placement or an internship? All of these boast the same benefits and all promise to make you stand out from the rest when it comes to applying for your first professional job.
Use The SU!
The student Union is there to help in any way possible, so who's to say they can't help your when securing a placement? Many universities often have weekly papers that offer regular work for writers, which gives you a chance to build up your portfolio and get hands-on experience.
If it is writing experience that you're looking for then why not try your luck with the smaller, local newspapers and magazines? This type of publication is almost always looking for contributors.
Another avenue for acquiring writing work experience is through one of the thousands of blogs that are scattered across the internet. Whether you start your own or contribute to one that tickles your fancy, it's a great way to fit writing work experience around your university study.
With the total number of unemployed across the UK standing at 2.53 million, and with an increasing number of graduates being forced to take under skilled jobs, the reality of the situation sinks in – if you don't have the experience, you aren't getting the job.
So, how's your CV looking?
