The California strawberry industry contributes $3.4 billion to the economy, according to a new study.
Sustaining California Communities: Economic Contributions of Strawberry Farming, written by the Watsonville-based California Strawberry Commission, was released March 18, according to a commission news release.
California growers produce almost 90% of U.S. strawberries, according to the report.
The state's 400 strawberry farms create about 70,000 farm jobs and grow fruit on fewer than 40,000 acres, less than 1% of all California farmland, according to the report.
Strawberry farming creates jobs and generates revenue beyond the farm, according to the report. For every farm dollar made, 97 cents is invested back into the community, and strawberry farming accounts for about $108 million in annual tax revenue.
In addition, an industry scholarship program helps pay for higher education for the children of farm workers.
"California strawberry farming is a tremendous asset to the state and nation," economist Jim Schaub said in the release. "The dollars that come into strawberry farms go back out as wages, land costs, payments for farm inputs and services, regulatory costs, and property and business taxes."

Fast response puts marathon runner on road to speedy recovery
Tom Clayton looks like the picture of health. At 44, he has completed 17 marathons and five triathlons. He runs three or four days a week, six to 14 miles at a time.
It was another number, however, that stopped him cold in late October – a 99 percent coronary artery blockage, opened with three stents at Baptist Health Paducah.
"All of my friends, who are physically fit, said I'm the last person they would think of having a heart attack," said Clayton, a Paducah Bank senior vice-president. "I've never had any health problems, except the flu when I was in college. I was pretty healthy, I thought. I try to eat reasonably well. I try not to eat fried food or red meat. I'm an avid runner."
Clayton had overlooked a major risk factor to his health – family history. His maternal grandfather died from a heart attack at 41, as had a great-uncle at 36.
"I really had no warning signs," Clayton said. "There was really nothing leading up to it to believe I had any heart trouble. I woke up one morning to get up to run. Within four minutes, I felt very nauseous. I thought I had the flu."
Clayton's wife, Signe, called his mother, Linda Clayton, a retired nurse, who asked him if he had the symptoms of a heart attack.
"I had no arm pain," he said. "But I didn't notice I was short of breath until my mom asked me. It did feel like something was lying on top of me. I couldn't get a deep breath."
After the phone call, Signe Clayton insisted her husband go to the Baptist Health Paducah Emergency department and drove him there herself after he refused to let her call an ambulance.
"She said, 'My husband is 44 and I think he's having a heart attack,' " he recalled. "My tail-end never hit a chair. They were hooking up wires to me and I said, 'What are you doing? It's not my heart.' I can remember saying, 'I'm a marathon runner. I never get sick.' "
Twenty-one minutes later, in the heart catheterization laboratory, cardiologist Kenneth Ford, M.D., was opening his right coronary artery with stents.
Dr. Ford said it is unusual, but not rare, for someone in Clayton's physical condition to have a heart attack. "Professional athletes are a good example," Dr. Ford said. "Family history is very important to consider when evaluating cardiac risk. If Tom smoked or didn't exercise, he might have had a heart attack at a much younger age."
Dr. Ford said Clayton's wife did the right thing by getting him to the hospital immediately. "That permitted rapid treatment, which resulted in little permanent damage," he said.
Two weeks later, Clayton was back to work and working out three days a week at Baptist Health Paducah Cardiac Rehab. "They said I had minimal damage and I can resume normal activity," Clayton said. "I have aspirations of running another marathon."
Clayton said he tells everyone now not to ignore symptoms or their family history. "You really need to talk to your family about any history of heart problems," he said. "Physically active people are not exempt from this condition."
Take a free, five-minute survey at westernbaptist.com/heart to calculate your own risk for a heart attack. If you have questions about the symptoms of a heart attack, talk to one of our nurses any time 24/7 on the Chest Pain & Stroke Hotline at 1-800-575-1911.

How do you get to stay in the parks for those hours??
Thank you for the help!!!

always plotting, planning, and looking forward to our next adventure...
Check out this site for up to date info on Extra Magic Hours:
I ususally check Deb's site for a guide on EMH but since Disney can change them at thier discretion, for the most accurate information I always check the offical Walt DisneyWorld Calendar (click here)
I always double check just before leaving for vacation to make sure I have the best information possible.
Welcome to DWT and have fun!!!

One man's Trivia is another man's Wisdom
You have to be a Disney Resort guest. The hours are extended past regular closing time - but only if you are staying on property.
For example:
Magic Kingdom closes at 8pm. Everyone who is not a WDW Resort guest is shooed (for lack of a better term) out of the park. You, as a resort guest, will show your room key to a CM and obtain a wristband which allows you on all open rides and shows for 3 hours after closing.
For morning hours - you get to enter 1 hour prior to regular opening time.
Hope this helps.
Thank yuo thank help!! So if Mk is open to 10 p.m that would mean that it would be open till 1 a.m?? Am i right about this??
Yup! Pretty cool huh?
You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
Walt Disney
do the buses work for the extra magic hours? I dunno this just seem too good to be true
Yeah, I do believe the buses run about an hour or two after the latest park closes.
You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
Walt Disney
Ok the times on the calendar, for example on Febraury 8th it says MK is open from 9 to 9, that means all non resort guests can stay till 9 right?
Or does that mean non resort guests have to leave at 8 and resort guests stay till 9?
"Almost everyone is mad here. You may have noticed that I'm not all there myself." - Chesire Cat
"You have spirit for one so small, and that spirit deserves a fighting chance." - Shere Khan
Anywhere and everywhere you look for park hours, it will list the hours that the park is open for the general public. Extra Magic Hours are in addition to those hours. So if it is EMH night at Magic Kingdom, and MK closes at 9:00 p.m., then WDW resort guests with wristbands can do rides and attractions until 12:00 a.m.
In order to get a wristband, each individual must present their resort ID -- it gets scanned, and then a wristband (like hospital wristbands, the kind that can't be removed unless they're cut or torn) gets placed onto your wrist by a CM.
NO ONE SHOOED FROM THE PARK AFTER PUBLIC CLOSING TIME. It's not that other people aren't permitted to stay in the park -- they can stay to their hearts' content. But they won't be permitted on any rides or in any attractions, and in most cases they also won;t be permitted to make purchases (except for the shops that normally stay open after closing time anyway). So they don't chase them out, they just bore them to death so that they have nothing better to do, and they choose to leave.
Morning EMH means that the designated park opens one hour earlier than the public opening. You put your resort ID/park ticket in the turnstile, and the computer recognizes you as a resort guest and lets you in. No need for wristbands.
EMH is on a schedule. It's not like every park has EMH every day and night. On many days there is one park for morning and one park for evening, but there are a few days a week when it's only one or the other.
I learned from experience that Disney can change their schedule with little notice. A few days before my last trip, I went online and wrote down the EMH schedule, but then during my trip I went to Epcot for EMH and they weren't doing EMH, it was changed to MGM for that morning. Someone said the change was "publicized" on the in-room television on the parks channel, but who watches that stuff?
-- Eric
I forgot to add a few other important details ....
Wristband distribution starts 2 hours before park closing time. So if MK closes to the public at 9:00 p.m., wristband distribution starts at 7:00 p.m. Wristbands are distributed at several locations through the parks, and not always in the exact same locations each time. It's also important to note that park hours are not the same every day, and you have to check a schedule or "times guide" to know park hours -- it's not like MK opens and closes at the same time every day of the year.
On an EMH night, WDW resort guests can enter the EMH park even AFTER public closing time. For example, let's say MK closes to the public at 9:00 p.m., but you're at Epcot and watch to catch IllumiNations at 9:00 p.m. If you want, you can stay for that, then take the monorail to MK (by transfering at TTC) and enter MK any time before midnight (it will close even for EMH people at midnight if the general public closing time is 9:00 p.m.).
EMH times are NOT too good to be true. For example, if the MK is scheduled to stay open until midnight, then that means ... brace yourself ... resort guests can stay and play until 3:00 a.m.
Of course, all 4 theme parks have EMH just as often as MK, I've just been using MK as an example.

Zone 9 Trees When considering trees that grow best in Zone 9, many people seek shade trees for their home landscapes. Planting trees in tropical zones will depend most on where you live – Florida, Texas, or California – and how you want to use the tree. The most beautiful tropical landscaping is usually a mixture of different types of palm trees and shade trees that grow well in Zone 9...as well as flowering trees, cypress trees and fruit trees. Choose trees that can adapt to the soil type in your specific area of Florida.

That's music to a bass-lover's ears. Boys Noize showed us his trap hand via his Go Hard EP earlier this year, but there's something different about the way he warped those snares on this remix. With a bassline is booming underneath those vocals, we get a perfect blend of "what made the track great" and "something unique that sets this one apart from other shit." Grade-A remix from a top notch selector.

Jessica Simpson to Launch New Beauty Site, BeautyMint
Jessica's BeautyMint site will follow a similar setup. Her version, however, will focus on antiaging skin care and will be backed by celebrity esthetician Nerida Joy. It's interesting to note that Jessica, who is still quite young at 31, is entering into the antiaging realm. Expect to see eight new "Mint" sites to launch by the end of 2012, and tell us: will you be visiting Jessica's new site?

4K Random
4K random read speed measurements are an important metric when comparing drive performance, as the hardest type of file access for any storage solution is small-file random.
The 4K random read IOPS scales very well up through the higher Queue Depths, peaking at QD 64 with a maximum value of 540 IOPS. The average speed at QD64 comes in at 530 IOPS.
The 4k write performance peaks at an average of 485 IOPS at QD32, with the maximum value coming in at 497 IOPS at QD64.
8K Random
8K random read and write speed is a metric that is not commonly tested for consumer use, but for enterprise environments this is an important aspect of operation. With several different workloads relying heavily upon 8K performance, we include this as a standard with each evaluation. Many of our Server Emulations on the following pages will also test 8K performance with various mixed read/write workloads.
For 8K 100% Random Read the Toshiba delivers from 200 IOPS at QD1 up to and average of 521 IOPS at QD64. The maximum speed measured was 528 IOPS at QD64.
The 8K Random write speed holds very steady, starting at 400 IOPS at QD1, and scaling up to 477 IOPS at QD32, with a top speed of 488 IOPS recorded at the same queue depth.

Two Cardiff University spin-out companies have been named in a list of Wales' leading start-up businesses.
'Science made simple', a spin-out company from the School of Physics and Astronomy and 'Q-Chip', from the School of Engineering, are included in The Wales Hot 100 list.
Both companies were judged to have shown "success in the early start-up years" and to have "demonstrated the entrepreneurial potential to become a significant business in the future."
'Science made simple' founded by Wendy Sadler, schools liaison officer for the School of Physics and Astronomy, aims to enthuse people about science by using interactive presentations and visual demonstrations, tailormade for schools and for the public.The listing follows earlier success this year when Wendy Sadler received the Descartes Prize for Excellence in Science Communication - following in the footsteps of previous winners David Attenborough and Bill Bryson.
Q-Chip, set up to exploit research undertaken by Professor David Barrow of the School of Engineering, is a drug delivery company developing controlled release systems for biological therapeutics. Q-Chip has rapidly established itself as one of the leading developers of advanced microsphere based life science and therapeutic products. Collaborative opportunities are currently being exploited in the field of medical devices, drug delivery and molecular reagents.
The Wales Hot 100 list is a joint project between Cardiff University's Centre for Advanced Studies and the Welsh Enterprise Institute at the University of Glamorgan.
Professor Dylan Jones-Evans, co-director of The Welsh National Entrepreneurship Observatory said: "The profiles of the firms within the Hot 100 demonstrate the wide diversity of entrepreneurial opportunities that exist across regions and sectors within Wales.
"Like many before them, the individuals that have established firms within the Hot 100 are the heroes of the future, taking risks and developing opportunities for new products, markets and services, and establishing Wales at the forefront of the knowledge economy."

David Bumgardner, exec chef of Williams & Graham, on moving your ass
David Bumgardner
Williams & Graham
3160 Tejon Street
This is part one of my interview with David Bumgardner, exec chef of Williams & Graham. Part two of my chat with Bumgradner will run in this space tomorrow.
The executive chef of Williams & Graham is leaning over the dish pit, aggressively scrubbing a sauté pan with a stump of steel wool. He squints every so often to inspect his progress, lest he leave behind any residue. Attention to detail is important to David Bumgardner, who freely admits that he's just as comfortable doing dish duty as he is preparing pâtés and terrines. "I'm a damn good dishwasher," he deadpans, giving the aluminum one more sideways glance before he finally puts it back where it belongs.
Bumgardner is a damn good chef, too, although he doesn't seem to recognize it. Shy, introspective and humble -- almost to a fault -- the 35-year-old former American Greetings graphic artist from New Castle, Pennsylvania, didn't start cooking
professionally until his mid-twenties. "I moved to Denver, worked in a cubicle and traveled a lot, which is not how I wanted to live my life, and when the company I was working for closed down, it was my opportunity to do something completely different," recalls Bumgardner, who wasted no time getting his foot through the culinary door at Marczyk Fine Foods.
"I'd been a customer of Marczyk's since moving to Denver in 2003, and I loved their stuff, so I went up to Pete, who owns the market, and said that I'd do whatever it took to work there. I just knew that I wanted to be around food," says Bumgardner. He was hired as a cashier and eventually became a buyer for the market before he and the Marczyk crew "parted ways" in 2009.
The day he was bumped to the pavement, he went to Highland Tavern to find solace in friends and booze, a combination that turned out to be serendipitous. "I wanted to hang out with friends and commiserate my lack of a job, and as it turned out, Highland Tavern was just getting ready to open the kitchen, and the chef, Jeremy McMinn, asked me if I might want to help out."
Bumgardner cooked at Highland Tavern for the next few years, working his way up to the exec-chef title, and when he wasn't behind the line, he was hanging out at Steuben's, where he met Sean Kenyon, then the bar manager there. "Sean and I became friends," he explains, "and he mentioned that he wanted to open a speakeasy, and a few months later, he said he was ready and wondered if I'd be interested in being the chef."

How long before the daily USD/JPY turns over?
Earlier this week I looked at the AUD/JPY and described the turn over that we were expecting. This turn over had implications that were further reaching than just the aussie losing ground against a strong yen. Today I look at how the yen strength is outpacing the even the resurgent U.S. dollar.
The U.S. Dollar Index is still maintaining support above the 80.00 on today's holiday-affected trading session. A flat session is no surprise. In fact for traders looking at buying into support, the longer-term intraday time frame has a swing buy zone waiting at between 80.05 and 79.83. Consider the 79.80 minor psychological level support as well and that pushes the range lower by three ticks, and makes it a 25 tick buy zone. If 80.00 does break, look for acceleration lower through 79.80 and remember that the daily time frame is still trading in a wide range and in that light, the area just above 80.00 could be a fade (short sell) area for dollar bears. With QE not out of the questions (especially with the risk appetite eroding from the market) the dollar may be under pressure
The sharp intraday drop (seen here on the daily EUR/JPY) on the 8:30am EST Non-Farm Payrolls release has set the tone for the next week where the mood on Monday is likely to carry on with the disappointment of the 120k actual versus the 207k forecast.
This is a significant miss (on a percentage basis) and while the Unemployment Rate checked in one-tenth of a percent lower-then-expected, but it's not enough to take the sting off a 87k miss on NFP. Ouch.
This all will make a stronger case of the USD/JPY to roll over. Sure the AUD/JPY rollover may be easy to dismiss as a weak aussie dollar, but the rollover confirmed in yesterday's EUR/JPY has now put two of the three yen pairs below their respective 34 period EMA low and 50 period SMA closes.
With the yen gaining on the aussie and now euro, the dollar seems to be next in line as the daily chart sits perilously on the 50 period SMA close (50DMA), the pair has already crossed through the 34EMA Wave with a -100 CCI (Commodity Channel Index, 20 period) reading.
This is triggered a Wave Reversal or Wave/CCI short sell as prices traded lower through 81.58 and while I like this entry, I would much rather see the 81.50 major psychological level break as well and see acceleration through it to confirm the shift in the market trend. Since this is also the first red GRaB candle, there's been little time to observe any kind of sentiment and momentum shift; another reason I would like to see the bears push the pair lower through the "50" pip.
The daily USD/JPY remains the only yen pair I watch to not have completed a breakdown through the 34EMA Wave and 50 period SMA close. While the Wave Reversal has triggered and confirmed, a break of the 81.50 level would go a long way in showing me that the bears are in control here.
By the way, I had a pleasure of having lunch with author Charlie Wright yesterday and one of the best things he said (amongst many during a great lunch) is "Use conventional indicators in unconventional ways." More on that next week!

End Child labor in Uzbekistan:
Please sign! Thank you.
Underground fires that burn for decades
Uzbekistan is home to a place called Darvaz, nicknamed by locals "the door to hell." It's a semi-underground gas fire that's been burning nonstop for 35 years.
The story of this place lasts already for 35 years. Once the geologists were drilling for gas. Then suddenly during the drilling they have found an underground cavern, it was so big that all the drilling site with all the equipment and camps got deep deep under the ground. None dared to go down there because the cavern was filled with gas. So they ignited it so that no poisonous gas could come out of the hole, and since then, it's burning, already for 35 years without any pause.

Welcome to Challenge Number 05.
If you don't know what the Challenge Series 2009 is all about, please read the Introduction.
Onto the fifth challenge.
You can't attack an enemy until it attacks you.
Let me define attack. This means that as soon as an enemy becomes aware of you and changes its behaviour. For example, it doesn't mean that a Metrocop has to have fired at you or a manhack has to have touched you before you attack them. But it also means you can't sneak up on any enemy for this challenge.
I haven't tried this challenge myself yet and as I mentioned last week I would have preferred if I could have tested all the challenges with some beta testers on some specific maps, but I didn't. This means that this challenge could prove to be very hard or very easy, depending on which enemies you encounter and what weapons you happen to have.
It almost means that the crossbow becomes useless because 99 times out of a 100 you fire it when the enemy is unaware of your presence. To be honest, I am not sure how this will affect other weapons, but it should be interesting to see.
I thought this might fun because we all feel superior to our enemy and know they are there, but they don't "know" in the same way. This could even things up a bit.
If I were a smart coder I might have been able to make a gameplay mod where enemies had a red hue until they came with a set distance from me, at which point the red turns to green. That means I can attack them. I suppose there's nothing stopping you from doing that version of the challenge but it may be hard to judge the distance and decide what distance to use.
Try adapting this challenge to your skill level and the mods you are playing. If you enjoy "close in action" then maybe this one will be fun for you. Others may wish to take a tease approach, where you get the enemy's attention then move back a little.
Don't forget a major part of the challenge series is to share our experiences. Don't let my questions limit you but here are some to get you started:
- Which enemies proved the most difficult?
- Did it make a difference as to which weapon you used?
- Was it easier or harder than your normal playing style?
- Once the challenge is over will you continue playing with this challenge?

Buddha – "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear"
When I first encountered this quote, I did not find any meaning in it. I thought the teacher has to be proactive in teaching others and in the process, the student will learn. If the teacher never take action, the student never learn.
It was only recently that I gain some understanding. Most of us, if not all of us, hear what we are ready to hear. If we are not ready to receive, nothing, no matter how sound the advice is, will get into our head. It is ourselves who choose to filter out information. The fact is the teacher is always ready to teach but the student is not always ready to listen. Some received and accepted later in their life and often regretted saying to themselves, "Why didn't I know this earlier." It is because the student is not ready. The answer has been out there all the while but the student did not receive it because he shut it out.
Be a ready student – the answer that you seek will come to you.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyah congratulated Egypt on Monday after the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Mursi's campaign announced that he had won the election.
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip celebrated Mursi's self-declared victory on Monday, with fireworks and parades of cars and motorcycles.
Haniyah said that he prayed for Egypt's stability and security, and he called on Egypt to rein in Israeli aggression.
He also refuted Israeli accusations that Hamas had fired rockets from Egypt's Sinai peninsula into Israel, saying that these charges allow Israel to attack Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, as in the recent case of two Palestinians killed by an Israeli air raid on Beit Hanun in northern Gaza.
On a separate note, Hamas held a moment of silence to mark the death of Saudi crown prince Nayef Bin Abdel Aziz.
The official results of the Egyptian presidential elections will be announced by the Supreme Presidential Electoral Commission (SPEC) on Thursday. On Monday, both campaigns claimed victory according to their unofficial tallies of the votes. http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/45488/Egypt/Politics-/Hamas-leader-congratulates-Egypt-on-democracy.aspx

Zodiac Dragon Rilakkuma Plushie 4"
Product Number - 753388K
Bin Number - P-ROW
The dragon is the most venerated of the creatures in the Chinese Zodiac, and Rilakkuma wears his outfit's deep red color proudly. Red signifies good fortune, and so does the dragon, so this should be one lucky plushie. The Relax Bear looks fierce in his dragon outfit, set with golden horns and whiskers, looking as intimidating as Rilakkuma may ever get. Nevertheless, this mini 4" plushie is adorable. |

How would the world adapt to the scenario outlined in Nature's two studies published today? Both say the world has a total 'carbon emission budget' of 1,000bn tonnes of carbon.
As Fiona Harvey reported in today's FT:
To remain on track with this "carbon budget" Canada would have to leave its oil sands untapped and Saudi Arabia would need to leave most of its oil reserves in the ground to avert disaster.
So, what now?
Thoughts naturally turn to what action should now be taken (if one assumes giving up is not appealing). Nature's editorial notes that the IPCC is already looking at ways to suck the CO2 out of the air. Another approach known as 'geo-engineering', such as trying to dim the incoming sunlight, could have more worrying effects, says Nature. John Holdren, Barack Obama's chief scientific advisor, suggested in February that geo-engineering may have a role to play in avoiding climate change.
Fiona Harvey writes:
If all efforts fail and the world does overshoot its temperature targets, as seems likely, then we will have to adapt rapidly to the effects of climate change. Adaptation measures vary from the obvious and mechanical – higher sea walls, flood barriers in rivers – to the natural – restoring mangrove swamps in tropical regions, and wetlands in temperate zones – and the less obvious – sewage systems in the coastal cities of developed countries could easily be overwelmed by sea level rises, so they would need to be made more robust to cope with greater inflows.
Professor Martin Parry of Imperial College London, and colleagues, says in Nature: "We should be planning to adapt to at least 4°C of warming."
That will be a phenomenally difficult task, involving an overhaul of all types of our infrastructure. As we cope with a global population rise to 9bn by 2050, that will become even more daunting.

Long before Ricky Nelson sang about all the cool guests at a "Garden Party" we've been dreaming of hanging out celebrities.
Since we're all getting ready to ring in 2013, we thought it would be fun to pick out the Top 5 Classic Rockers who would make any NYE party one to remember.
Check out our list and then let us know who you'd be on your guest list.
1. Bruce Springsteen – He's invited because he is BRUCE. So we just might ask him to sing "Born To Run" when the clock strikes midnight. He'd be there already. What's the harm?
2. Stevie Nicks – This was a tough call. She is talented, intelligent and all around awesome. Based on the Fleetwood Mac relationship shenanigans, there is a chance she could go home with my boyfriend. That would be a bad way to start 2013
3. Sammy Hagar – We're asking him to stock the bar and if we run out of food or drink, we heard he could drive pretty fast and get to the store and back before anyone noticed.
4. Donald Fagen – What's not to love about this guy and what he could bring to a party? Brilliant, funny and who knows…maybe the Dukes of September (Boz Scaggs & Michael McDonald) could show up with him?
5. Ringo Starr – Come on! It's not a party unless you've got a drummer.
Shout out to self proclaimed "professional music geek" and radio host Alan Cross for inspiring the idea for this list. You can check out is blog at "A Journal of Musical Things" at http://www.alancross.ca

Lanvin Petite, the French couture house's line designed specifically for children, will be launched next month and with it, a collection of chic little Lanvin Petite dolls.
There are four versions of the dolls, each wearing a chic outfit from the Lanvin Petite collection. Retailing for a lofty 250 Euros each, these tiny and fashionable toys were made to help raise money for women with HIV in Africa. They were hand-stitched by HIV-positive women in Swaziland and all proceeds from the dolls will go to the charity Dessine l'espoir, which helps enhance the lives of women diagnosed with the disease.
The dolls, which were made in the spirit of Lanvin's founder Jeanne Lanvin, will be available at all Lanvin stores as well as boutiques stocking the Lanvin Petite collection.

This is the summer of my life, the time when life's early rains and startling frosts turn to warm winds and growing fruit. Yet a blight crept across my summer's first revolution, a niggling vermin. It sucked at the unripe fruit and left it shriveled, and it called me friend.
Doubt does that.
It was a slow and subtle chewing at the leaves in the place where I inscribe my days, with vague promises of excellence in exchange for my personhood, couched in a gentle gnawing that slowly stripped the growth away.
Metamorphosis is not just about the transformation but the waking up aware of it. Awareness is everything in such instances. Is there something non-verminous in our blood? The taint itself is not in question. When a verminous epiphany occurs, the question is whether we recognize it.
So I saw this thing that had become me, and I found I couldn't live in its shell. (more…)

PFI Panic
In principle the Private Finance Initiative could be a good deal for taxpayers. Instead of trying to build and maintain hospitals and schools itself, the government gets private sector specialists to compete for the job. Not only should the price be lower, but the risks of things like project overspend are transferred to specialist operators who are better equipped to manage them. Everybody should win by eliminating waste and inefficiency. Hurrah.
Yes, well...sadly it hasn't always worked out quite like that. For one thing, the government has used PFI principally as a tool to borrow off-balance sheet. The best estimate is that PFI debt now amounts to a chunky £60bn. And the pressure to borrow covertly means they have driven through deals which would have been cheaper funded directly by the public sector.
There's also a suspicion that our commercially naive hospital trusts and education authorities have not always cut a good deal for taxpayers. It's clear that many of the early PFI deals have subsequently yielded substantial refinancing gains to the contractor/bank consortia that did them.
Of course, just like a mortgage, all of these deals commit some public sector entity- such as a hospital trust- to a stream of payments stretching many years into the future. And the sums can be big, say a quarter of a hospital's annual income for the next 25 years. If they don't pay up, they can expect the bailiffs. Whatever the spin says, this is public sector debt.
Now, finally, the Treasury seems to have woken up. Hospitals could go bust, just like the PFI Queen Elizabeth in Woolwich, whose Chief Executive says:
"In traditional commercial terms we are insolvent - and we are not alone. We are relying on temporary cash borrowing to enable us to pay our creditors, staff and PFI partners. It reaches a point where there is no way out on your own. Somebody is going to have to come along and restore our balance sheet."
That "somebody" of course is the Treasury. Time to hit the panic button.
Which is why they've just pulled the plug on the biggest PFI deal of all- the £1.2bn Barts/Royal London rebuild. Well, strictly it's Commissar Hewitt who's done the deed ("We have not ordered a review of the whole Barts and London PFI scheme. We have simply asked the local NHS to commission an independent review looking again at the proposed redevelopment"- hmm, I see).
Unfortunately for us taxpayers, the PFI consortium involved- Innisfree/Skanska- have met these panicky prevaricating politicos before. They evidently took the highly sensible precaution of getting themselves a contract. Which reportedly says "if the scheme is not approved by the end of January, Skanska will be entitled to leave the project claiming £100m costs, or continue on the basis that it will be paid more".
So that's another £100m down the drain, then.
How many MRI scanners is that?
The Docs at Barts/Royal are naturally up in arms, demanding Tony step in. Fat chance of that. Perhaps their time would be better spent sorting out the Commissar's arse and elbow problem.

In the realm of sporting fundraisers, nude calendars are nothing new. But it's rare a Canadian squad has the guts to strip off, even for a good cause.
Rugby sevens is back on the Olympic ticket for the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro (for the first time since 1924), and both Canada's mens and womens teams are expected to contend for precious hardware. And with the London Games less than a month away, naturally, now is the perfect time to drum up national interest in their sport.
As much as we'd like to see the rugby men pose for a firefighter-esque 16-month calendar, with perhaps Adam Kleeburger's once-trademark bushman's beard used to hide his modesty, the women's squad has beaten them to it – and the resulting tasteful spreads are circulating the world wide web as we speak. Proceeds from the sale of the $20 calendars (plus shipping and handling) will go to preparing the squad to take on the world in Rio 2016, and to charitable organizations that aim to promote healthy eating and activity among young women.
This isn't the rugby squad's first calendar (they've released three, non-nude, since 2004), but the team says the 16 stunning Darryl Humphrey shots are "a reward."
Said flanker Barbara Mervin, who spearheaded the campaign, "Every woman on this team works so hard at being physically fit and eating properly. It is a reward to have these pictures taken so we can see our bodies in a beautiful light. We hope we can help young girls to know that you can be 170 pounds and be absolutely beautiful. We hope they can relate to someone's body and see beauty in that."
Click here to order your 16-month 2013 calendar, and support Canada's Olympic rugby goals.
The womens' sevens squad is fresh off a gold medal at the 2012 Amsterdam Sevens, having defeated the U.S. 26-19 in the final. Though the Olympic tournament will only feature seven-a-side and not the more traditional full 15, many of Canada's rugby stars, men and women, compete at both levels. The 17-member women's squad lives and trains on Vancouver Island.

To The Editor:
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for reading this letter and the letters of my students. The project they are working on can be a tremendous success with your help and the help of your readers.
Let me take a minute to tell you about our school and students. Pawtucket, R.I., is an urban school district founded in the birthplace of the mill industry with the first water-powered mill. Slater Mill is not more than a five-minute walk from our school.
Like any urban school district, Pawtucket has its share of challenges. Roughly about 80 percent of our students qualify for the free or reduced lunch program. However, Goff Junior High School is the only high-performing junior high school in the district. The students take an active interest in school and responsibility for their studies.
By publishing their letter, and hopefully with your readers' response, they will be able to produce a written report, poster board and oral presentation.
Hopefully, when you decide to publish the students' letter, I am requesting an edition in the mail or to be notified when it will run so I could look at your online edition. It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and help in providing a worthwhile and rewarding project for my students.
— Brian Gilmore

(Editor's Note: A letter from one of the Goff Junior High School students in Pawtucket, R.I., is published below. The student's name is "Braelyn F.")
Student seeks Tennessee info
To The Editor:
[And] to the citizens of Tennessee, I am writing to you to say hi from the smallest state, Rhode Island.
I am a seventh-grade student at Goff Junior High School in Pawtucket, R.I. In my geography class, we are making a project that lasts a whole semester, and it is on one of the 50 states in the United States. I chose to do my project on Tennessee which is my favorite state.
Could you please publish this letter in your paper so your readers could help me with my project?
My teacher said that firsthand information from citizens of our chosen state would be much more helpful than information we find ourselves.
If your readers could mail me some information, it would help me so much. Your readers could send the information right to me at school.
Thank you for your help with my project.

Early History
The history of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church begins with the Protestant Reformation in Europe. More specifically, the branch of the Reformation under the leadership of John Calvin in Geneva stressed several key doctrines which became the hallmarks of Reformed Theology.
Meanwhile, in Scotland, a young man named John Knox came to faith and became involved in the Protestant movement. In a conflict between England and France, Knox was captured and made a galley slave in a French ship. He managed to escape and made his way to Geneva, where he met and studied under Calvin.
John Knox returned to Scotland, bringing the teachings of John Calvin with him. Out of a tumultuous period of conflict between Catholic and Protestant, King and Parliament, England and Scotland, arose the Presbyterian form of church government. Presbyteros is the Greek word for elder. In Presbyterian church government locally elected elders form a church session, the sessions in a region form a presbytery, and the presbyteries form a General Assembly.
In 1643, the English parliament summoned a group of church leaders to draw up a theological summary of faith. 1647 saw the publication of The Westminster Confession of Faith and a Larger and Shorter Catechism. A modern edition of these documents has been adopted by the Evangelical Presbyterian Church as a statement of belief.
Presbyterianism in America
Presbyterian immigrants have played an important role in shaping the church and the civil government in America. John Witherspoon, a Presbyterian minister and president of Princeton University, was the only clergyman who signed the Declaration of Independence, and Presbyterians were generally strong supporters of the American Revolution. Some commentators see the Presbyterian form of government, with its limits on authority and separation of powers, as playing a formative role in the development of American democracy.
The history of Presbyterian denominations in the U.S. is long and, frankly, convoluted. Disputes over slavery, theological conformity, qualifications for ordination, modernism, revivalism, and other issues gave rise to a variety of denominations which differ in theology and style of worship.
The Evangelical Presbyterian Church
The EPC is a recent arrival on the scene. In the early 1980's, as two major Presbyterian churches moved toward uniting as the Presbyterian Church, USA, a small but growing group of pastors began to meet to discuss the formation of a new Evangelical Presbyterian Church. As Evangelicals, these leaders were uncomfortable with the theological liberalism being expressed by church leaders. On the other hand, their theological differences with existing conservative Presbyterian groups effectively prevented them from joining those denominations.
In 1981, a new church was formed, taking the historic Westminster Confession of Faith as its statement of belief. Today, the EPC has over 70,000 active members in some 180 congregations.

Our hometown festival this year, our annual Riverboat Days, was a flop, too. Always before it has been terrific- lots of people, lots of entertainment and vendors, etc. This year there wasn't anything in the way of entertainment, and the vendors were slim. We lost money on this- only took in about $50 but by the time you count the $20 booth fee and our food expenses and other misc. stuff, we came out on the losing end. It was our first show, and if everyone else there hadn't done so badly (we actually did better than some others) I would have been ready to give up the whole thing. However, I have several other festivals and events coming up, and I sure hope they do better. I won't be doing Riverboat Days again. On the other hand, the city wide yard sale associated with Riverboat Days did real well. I think I would have been better off to participate in that (not to mention it would have been much handier, being at home), and it was free. Next year that is what I will do- the heck with being downtown all day for two days in a row doing NOTHING.

I was teaching my sister to play WoW. She's not much of a gamer, but her lowbie mage was killing kobolds in Elwynn when a level 40ish hunter whispered her and said he'd help. He threw down a volley (scaring the crap outta her, she thought she was being attacked!). He helped her for a little bit after that. Then he gave her 5g and some bags and told her if she ever needed help, to let him know.
So later, I logged on my 70 Priest (this was during BC) and sent him 50g and told him if he ever needed MY help to let me know. I helped him through Ring of Blood in Nagrand and ran Kara with him once. Very nice guy.
I can't stand beggers, but I will give gold to those who have earned it, even if I just met them. And I'll buff anyone...even if I have to mind control them to do it :)

"You cannot imagine how time can be so still. It hangs. It weighs. And yet there is so little of it. It goes so slowly. And yet it is so scarce." (Vivian Bearing, Wit)
Last night, in a small, dimly lighted theater in Frontenac, Jerram Barrs introduced the movie Wit (referral link). The audience consisted of 20 Covenant Theological Seminary board members, a dozen faculty and staff, and as many students and alumni.
Wit is a film about Vivian Bearing (Emma Thompson), a professor of John Donne's 17th Century poetry. The film begins with the announcement that she has cancer, and the story follows the remainder of her days. Vivian's character development, intellectual assent and physical decline, center on the poem by Donne, "Death Be Not Proud."
Jerram commented as introduction, "The poem by Donne is [perceived] a paradox, but not really. It sounds like a paradox, but for the Christian it is the ushering into glory. It's harrowing. Be prepared to be moved, dealing with questions of death and suffering."
The Film
The very first words of the film, spoken by Dr. Harvey Kelekian, are, "You have cancer." No name. No recognition of the human element under duress of the "insidious…treacherous" news of cancer: just the mechanical diagnosis of disease. This inhuman treatment, developed throughout the film in the behavior of most every doctor (most of them males), stands in direct contrast to the treatment of two women: a nurse, Susie Monahan, and Vivian's professor, Evelyn Ashford. It is just one of the many demonstrative paradoxes that graphically illustrate the tension of Donne's poem.
Kelekian and research assistant, Jason Posner—referred to largely as Jason—are painstakingly deliberate in their careless treatment of Vivian as a human being. And yet, they are the characters most reduced in their own humanity: singularly focused, shallow, and trapped in cause-effect thinking. This is further illustrated by the fact that, after the first appearance of each, they are almost universally referred to as "Kelekian and Jason": two men not even worthy of having full names.
Jason, meaning "healer" in Greek, is anything but that. His bedside manner is nonexistent. He is crass, abrupt, and intrusive. At one point he bluntly states, "There's a whole course on [bedside manner] in med school. It's required. Colossal waste of time for researchers."
Knowledge versus Meaning
For her part, Vivian stands between two poles of great magnitude. On the one side, her own lonely cynicism in Donne's "paradox" finds voice in the person of Dr. Kelekian. To call him stoic or emotionless is inaccurate; he lacks compassion, but then seems to take great delight in urging Vivian on toward "the full dose," with a pat and a feigned smile. On the other side is Vivian's own professor, Evelyn Ashford—a woman who, in the words of Jerram, "gets it. She understands Donne's faith in a way that Vivian never gets…until the end."
The call of both is pronounced:
Jerram Barrs is Professor of Christian Studies and Contemporary Culture at Covenant Theological Seminary. He is also the Resident Scholar of the Francis A. Schaeffer Institute. He is the author of several books, including "Learning Evangelism from Jesus" (referral link) which won Outreach Magazine's book of the year award in 2010.
