CNS Story:
OBIT-KELLY Jan-2-2009 (540 words) With photo. xxxn
Virginia priest killed by falling tree while trying to clear roadway
Catholic News Service
PURCELLVILLE, Va. (CNS) -- A funeral Mass was set for 11 a.m. Jan. 6 for a 53-year-old Virginia priest who died Dec. 31 when a tree fell on him while he was trying to remove debris from another tree from the roadway.
Father Michael C. Kelly, pastor of St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church in Purcellville, was pronounced dead at the scene, according to a spokesman for Loudon County Sheriff Stephen O. Simpson.
Father Kelly had been attempting to remove debris from Harmony Church Road during the morning hours, when high winds caused another tree to fall on him, according to a published report.
Parishioners told WUSA-TV 9 in Washington they were not surprised that Father Kelly was trying to clear debris from the roadway, because he was the kind of man who always offered his help to anyone in need. He had served at the parish since June 2006.
In a letter to the resident priests and parishioners of St. Francis de Sales, Arlington Bishop Paul S. Loverde called Father Kelly "a faithful and zealous priest not only among you, but in all his previous assignments as well."
"I join you in the prayer, asking our blessed Lord to give him now the blessed reward of his priestly ministry among us these past 13 years," Bishop Loverde said. "Your own patron St. Francis de Sales so beautifully reminds us: 'Life is the time to seek God. Death is the time to find him. Eternity is the time to possess him.'"
Father Kelly served as administrator of St. Francis de Sales from June 2006 to June 2008 when he was named pastor.
Born Dec. 15, 1955, in Newport Beach, Calif., Father Kelly was one of three sons in a military family; the family settled in Alexandria, Va., where he graduated from Mount Vernon High School.
After serving in the U.S. Naval Reserve from 1973 to 1981, he attended Mary Washington College (now the University of Mary Washington) in Fredericksburg, Va., where he earned a bachelor's degree in history in 1984.
He received his theological education at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Wynnewood, Pa., graduating in 1995. His diaconate assignment was at Our Lady of Angels Parish in Woodbridge, Va.. He also served as a deacon at Holy Spirit Parish in Sharon Hill, Pa.
Ordained by then-Arlington Bishop John R. Keating May 20, 1995, Father Kelly's first assignment was as parochial vicar of St. James Parish in Falls Church. He then served as parochial vicar of St. Ambrose Parish in Annandale, 1998-2001, and at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church in Winchester, 2001-06, where he served until his appointment at St. Francis de Sales.
Father Kelly is survived by his father, John Kelly of Colonial Beach, Va., and two brothers, Matthew Kelly of Fredericksburg and Daniel Kelly of Williamsburg.
His funeral Mass was to take place at St. Francis de Sales Church in Purcellville, as was a viewing and wake 6-8 p.m. Jan. 5.
In lieu of flowers, donations are requested for the Wounded Warrior Project, which provides services and programs for severely injured members of the U.S. military. Details are available online at www.WoundedWarriorProject.org.

OK I should have done this the first time... figured out what a dexterity game is... cute. But... HOW MUCH ROOM is this going to use?
Do your bugs have a tendency to go flying off the tabel?!? WOOOOOOO!!!!! lol

OK I should have done this the first time... figured out what a dexterity game is... cute. But... HOW MUCH ROOM is this going to use?
Do your bugs have a tendency to go flying off the tabel?!? WOOOOOOO!!!!! lol
Posted 22 November 2008 - 10:48 AM
It's about 3ft by 3ft.
Posted 22 November 2008 - 02:54 PM
I'll presume there are rules for the case where your chip flies off the table?
Last time I tiddled a wink, I recall it flying too far... and then trying to close range tiddle a wink and I really over shot it... also off the table. I also recall several tiddles that caused the wink to roll...
How are people's games of this been going? What kind of material are the winks made out of? A nice soft, but not too launchable material?
Posted 22 November 2008 - 11:01 PM
I glued the felt on a 0,5cm paperboard and now the underground is allqays the same, so it is easier to control the bugs. But sometimes the fly to high, but that is caused to bad choosing of movment style.
if a bug leaves the field, we put it in graveyard. This is not the official rule, but we like it more this way.
Posted 23 November 2008 - 01:18 AM
I think if you put the player mat on hard surface that they will tend to fly further. Evenso, it isn't too hard to get it down so that you aren't constantly flipping off the board (the penalty for which is you put your bug back where it started). I bought a piece of felt and cut it to match the size of the player mat. I always play with the mat underneath the one provided with the game and this provides you with a little more control over your winking.
Posted 23 November 2008 - 03:01 AM
No... I do believe you tiddle winks. So it would allow you much better tiddlying...
Oh I stand corrected! http://en.wikipedia....iki/Tiddlywinks
It appears you wink winks... hmm...
No mention of tiddlywink spin offs in that wikipedia entry... is micromutants worthy of such small entry?!? WRITE ONE AND FIND OUT! heh.
Posted 23 November 2008 - 03:29 AM
if I get it right, there is no game area in Tiddlywinks, so no spin off.
Posted 23 November 2008 - 12:11 PM
Ahem. From the quoted wikipedia entry:
"There are six winks of each colour, which begin the game in the corners of a felt mat measuring 6 feet by 3 feet."
Though there is also no cup in micromutants in which you are to pot one's winks. Whatever. The similarities are totally there. YOU CANNOT DENY THEM!
Posted 24 November 2008 - 10:50 AM
Damn, wikipedia is so messy.
Posted 25 November 2008 - 11:33 AM
Yeah, make sure you're not playing it too close to the sofa. The times I've played it, I've managed to catch the 'wink before it rolled off the table. The felt mat does a good job of keeping the 'winks from leaving the surface, since you have good control over them.

Handheld device users need to be able to synchronize with a main data store when it's convenient and, preferably, when the back-end database server isn't busy. SQL Server 2000 Windows CE Edition allows you to build a traveling data store that can be displayed and run on a variety of devices. SQL Server CE supports a subset of the full SQL Server package, and can be used as a standalone server or in tandem with SWL Server and IIS. The architecture of SQL Server CE, along with data manipulation, synchronization, and connectivity issues, are discussed in this article. Topics such as making your data public, choosing the right type of replication, and handling errors are also covered.

I have two tables which are different with the exception of a single field (column name = "LocationCode"). Both tables can also be joined with a common id field. I would like to update the "LocationCode" values in one table with the the "LocationCode" of the other table. I can do a relational join on the common id. It is impractical for me to update one row at a time. How can I update all the rows quickly?
But one more point both tables lies in different database

Listen, EA, you're one of the biggest video game publishers in the world. It's not my place to tell you what to do, and far be it from me to say that you have to support Android's standard online and social gaming featureset in your games. But it would probably be a good idea. Case in point: the over-the-top basketball game NBA Jam. The title just got updated with Google Play Games support.
Looks like EA is doing a little spring cleaning trying to clear the back stock of some older games, because it just dropped the price of Plants vs. Zombies and NBA JAM to a buck each. And just for the record, those are two of my absolute favorite games on Android. Both are requisite installs in my book.
So, whether you want to protect your house from zombies with plants that spit stuff, or play a game of two-on-two with some of your favorite players in the NBA, today's the day to make it happen for only a dollar each.
If you've been waiting on the opportune moment to grab some new games for your mobile, now may be the time to jump on that: EA just dropped the prices of both Mass Effect: Infiltrator and NBA Jam down to $0.99. Previously, those games would've set you back $7 and $5, respectively; that's a pretty decent savings!
We're not really sure what the reason is, or why these two games were singled out, but we're also not going to question a good thing.
Here in the States, we call it soccer, which actually makes little sense. Our neighbors across the pond have a more accurate term for the game, however: football. To be honest, I'm not really sure where the crossing of terms came into play, but football in the U.S. is definitely not the same game as football in other countries. Regardless of what you call it, EA just released a new game for all who love the thought of kicking a ball into a net: FIFA 2012.

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Loki!

Please fill out an application on our website www.packleadersrescue.com
Other Pets at Pack Leaders Rescue of Connecticut
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Loki, a Manchester Labrador Retriever puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Manchester, or seeking a Labrador Retriever puppy from a breeder in Manchester.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Manchester already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Manchester breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Manchester paves the way for another one to be saved.

Ike caught fish on multiple presentations, and plans to stick with a mix of plastics, jerkbaits and topwaters tomorrow. "There was a big mayfly hatch this week, so the fish are all full," Wick said. "I was fishing a little jerkbait, and the fish were coming up on it out of 3-4 feet of water, but they weren't really committing to it. Tomorrow, I think I'm going to fish a little more topwater."

Marvin Booker lawsuit to establish pattern of police brutality in Denver, attorney says
This morning, a team led by attorney Darold Killmer will file a lawsuit on view below in relation to Marvin Booker, who died in Denver jail July 9 after being put in a sleeper hold and Tased.Marvin Booker.
But Killmer, who'll be center-stage during an 11 a.m. press conference about the case, says the Booker incident is only one of many alleged instances of excessive force cited in the suit.
"We're not just filing on behalf of Marvin Booker," Killmer notes. "Because of this wave of law-enforcement brutality Denver has experienced over the past few years, we're taking on the whole system. We've detailed dozens of examples of law-enforcement brutality to establish that Denver has a culture and environment that tolerates and therefore encourages brutality against citizens and residents."
Among the examples Killmer mentions is the 2006 jail death of Emily Rae Rice, subject of the Westword feature "Rae of Sunshine."Emily Rae Rice.
Why was the Booker case the right one to use as the centerpiece for the suit?
"The impact of it was so profoundly tragic," Killmer believes. "He was killed with no cause whatsoever, and his family has been begging the city to do something about it. They asked the district attorney to prosecute, and he refused to do so" -- click to read DA Mitch Morrissey's decision letter in the Booker matter. "They asked the city attorney's office to hold individuals accountable, and they refused to do. They asked Mayor Hickenlooper and temporary mayor Vidal to do something, and they've done nothing in response."
Indeed, Killmer and the family still haven't been able to see a video that captured Booker's death despite Hickenlooper's promise last September of a private viewing. "Two days after Mr. Booker was killed, the family asked to see the video," he notes. "At first, they were told they couldn't see it until after the coroner did an examination and report. Then, after that was done, they said, 'You can't see it until the DA decides whether to bring charges.' Then, after the DA predictably decided not to bring charges, they asked again and were told, 'You can't see evidence until after internal affairs finishes its investigation.'
"Now, it's seven-and-a-half months later -- the whole event took less than seven-and-a-half minutes -- and the investigation is still going on, with no end in sight. In Emily Rice's case, they were still investigating it nineteen months after she died. We shouldn't have to wait that long. So we'll get it through this lawsuit."
The bottom line for Killmer? "The city is not policing itself. In fact, they refuse to themselves. People don't get disciplined or fired. The whole apparatus is corrupt. The DA's office refuses to prosecute, the Office of the Independent Monitor refuses to react in any way other than to watch the inactivity of the system, and the mayor, whoever it is at the time, says nice words but never does anything. There seems to be no remedy. So where do we turn? We have to turn to the courts."
Page down to read the lawsuit in its entirety -- it pits the Booker estate against four deputies, a sergeant and the City and County of Denver -- as well as a release detailing this morning's press conference.

The American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1969 Volume 3 Published July 31, 2005 Hip-O
Blues aficionados have got to be loving Hip-O's ongoing series of programs culled from the American Folk Blues Festival tours that came to Europe annually throughout most of the '60s. The promoters (two Germans) presciently recorded the proceedings and their efforts have, decades later, given us some of the most pristine visual relics of classic blues available today. The personnel on just one track, Helen Humes' "The Blues Ain't Nothin' But A Woman," is the stuff of dreams: T-Bone Walker, Willie Dixon, Memphis Slim. Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee all offer support. A young Buddy Guy makes a few appearances, and legendary elders such as Big Joe Turner, Son House, Hound Dog Taylor, Little Walter and Muddy Waters are all featured artists. The opening track, the great Big Mama Thornton belting her pre-Elvis version of "Hound Dog," is a whopper of an intro, and yes, that's Guy supplying her guitar licks. Boasting superb sound and image, this is a keeper.

DES MOINES — The DNR is encouraging Iowa students to create artwork and poetry for the international River of Words competition.
The contest helps youth explore the natural and cultural history of their own watershed, expressing what they discover through poetry and art. Each April, eight U.S. winners, one international winner and a teacher are honored at an award ceremony at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
Iowa students ages 5 to 19 can submit entries until Dec. 1. Contest rules and entry forms are available at
While students must submit their entries to the River of Words organization based in California, all Iowa entries will be sent back to the DNR for the statewide competition.
Winners of the statewide contest are included in a traveling exhibition. The 2012 exhibit has been featured at the Blank Park Zoo and the Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center, and will travel to the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium, Knoxville Public Library, Reiman Gardens and other locations.
River of Words is affiliated with the Library of Congress Center for the Book and sponsored in Iowa by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

You can use first person. The writer doesn't have to rejigger or omit an anecdote just because he (and not "a reporter") was involved in it. Some things are too awkward to put into third person but worth mentioning, like the warnings the black children gave me about visiting their housing project, or which of my long-ago teachers (some bad, some great) would have had trouble making it in today's standardized classrooms. When I speak around the country about my first book, I am always asked why I chose the school I did. In Tested, I decided to explain directly why I wrote about Tyler Heights, because people always wanted to know. Newspapers sometimes include sidebars with this kind of explanation, but not always.
You don't have to use the typical journalistic shortcuts in your field. When writing in the popular media about testing, a certain trope applies, in which phrases like "improving student learning," "raising achievement," and "closing the gap" are all merely synonyms for scores on state standardized tests. If I were still at the Post, I suspect that refusing to use those phrases as synonyms for test scores and introducing caveats to the numbers might have been seen as some sort of political statement on my part. In Tested, I avoid phrases like "test scores rose" when the truth is "the percentage of children who passed the test rose, though because the test changes every year, you can't really draw a strong comparison." In a book, I can choose to say "test scores rose" only when I mean test scores rose, and I can show how "gaps" and "achievement" have many more meanings than can be expressed numerically.
You don't have to give equal (or any) time to arguments you think are baseless. Newspaper journalists don't have that luxury, which is why articles about global warming usually include quotes from the rare scientist who doesn't believe it exists.
You can change names. Both of the schools that allowed me to write my books conditioned permission on changing children's names—a practice not allowed at the Post and many other papers yet often encouraged by the lawyers at publishing houses. Newspapers want to be considered the ultimate record of fact, and they gain more credibility as institutions by being able to insist that no matter what section, no matter what reporter, we have made nothing up. I always liked this about the Post. I would rather not change names. But the book reader and I both know there are truths that can be had only at this cost, and I'm glad I have the freedom to pay it. I stand only for myself, and people can judge my credibility as they wish; newspapers, collective endeavors after all, must be more careful.
You can risk offending people. The third graders featured in Tested were a particularly nasty bunch. Quite often they didn't seem to want to learn, and they carried a lot of anger with them from home; it was hard to imagine children so consistently mean to each other holding a job one day, no matter how well they did on their math tests. So I said that. I also explained, in ways I knew never would be allowed into the Post, where their parents fell short. When I reported long ago for the Post about the growing behavior problems of elementary schoolchildren, everyone I interviewed, from the teachers to the administrators to the social scientists, implicated parents in some way, a point of view I passed along in the story. My editors let me know that I was being "too hard on parents," and that part of the story was excised considerably.
You can be sarcastic. "You're not going to be a scientist if you can't read," I quote a superintendent as saying, in defense of a pared-down curriculum. Well, I respond, you can't be a scientist if you never learn science either; you can't be a lawyer if you don't learn critical-thinking skills; you can't be a politician if you never get to speak in front of a group. When the principal went to a conference and heard about one way to build enthusiasm among her staff, I wrote, "I couldn't wait to see the look on Miss Johnson's face when she would be told to 'clap fireworks' when a colleague presented a good idea." About the Bush administration's inclination to call anyone who criticizes No Child Left Behind a racist, I wrote, "One suspects that if you suggested 90 percent might be a more reasonable proficiency goal than one hundred, you'd be asked why you hate 10 percent of America's children."

We caught up with Fight for Peace boxing coach and personal trainer, David Andrews, to talk about the importance of nutrition for anyone serious about their training.
Many fighters and clients that I train always ask the same questions: what should I eat, how can I lose weight, how do I get a lean physique?
The short answer? Eat Real Foods! Foods that are grown naturally, from the earth; meat, fish, vegetables, fruits and nuts!
Eliminate all processed foods from your diet and after a few weeks you will see and feel the difference. You'll benefit from improved sleep, better recovery, reduced headaches, and less swelling and bruising after training. You'll also become less reliant on medication because of the health benefits from the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants found in natural foods.
To start your day nothing beats a high protein breakfast. Look to quality sources like eggs, meat, fish and nuts, which you can combine with some salad or veg. Alternatively, try a small bowl of oats with some berries, seeds, coconut or almond flakes and top with quality organic peanut butter or almond butter for a mix of protein and omega 3. These breakfasts will keep you fuller than the boxed cereals, pastry's and breads that so many people are used to eating.
Subsequent meals throughout the day should consist of a lean meat or fish with different coloured vegetables. Try to include proteins like chicken, turkey, lean beef, tuna, or white fish, and pair them with sweet potatoes, quinoa, kale, broccoli, salad etc. Always aim for fresh produce that's organic or free range and locally grown if possible. Focus on eliminating heavy pastas and breads and by doing this and eating naturally the first few pounds/kilos should drop off, depending on your body type, training levels and goals.
Try to portion your meals with a handful of each ingredient and when possible make enough the night before to use the following day. Chillies, stews, casseroles etc. are ideal for storing in containers so you always have a home cooked meal ready.
Water intake is crucial to living, not just training, so ensure you get enough. Start in the morning by drinking 0.5 litres as studies show we can lose fluids throughout the night in sleep. Then aim to drink 2 litres by lunch time, and if you're training or competing that day then increase and listen to your thirst. I aim to drink 4 litres a day without training and increase according to my daily routine and training schedule. The same goes with food; eat according to what you have done or what you are about to do, listen to your body!
In between meals try snacking on small portions of nuts, such as almonds, brazils, walnuts or macadamias. Pair them with an apple or some raisins and you have a good snack in between your main meals.
It's essential that we feed our bodies with the right fuel and nutrients, and spend more time researching the foods we eat and the ingredients in them. If you don't know what's on the label when buying a food product, don't eat it! Real food doesn't need labels.

"I order this product for a bridal shower for my daughter. I loved that they let you choose the option to review the design before they are mailed out. When I got them in the mail and opened them they were so Beautiful and my daighter loved them. I will use this site in the furture and I have already told my friends about this site. Thank you for doing a great job."
"I bought this invitation for my Bridal shower with the rose gold print on the grayish background and I added the few bucks for the shimmer. Totally worth it for the shimmer! These are absolutely gorgeous. I love them!"
"Color was perfect. Card paper is great quality. Only issue was there wasn't matching thank you cards. But found cards that were just as good a match."
"My bridal shower invitations were amazing! Wedding Paper Divas did a beautiful job with them! I am 100% satisfied! My photos on the back of the invitations also came out great! I can't wait to send out my invitations!"
"I personalized this product with the silver foiling on the silverberry colored paper. I added the pearl finish for the sparkle, but I really didn't have to, the stock paper would have been fine. My only issue is that the silver foil on the silverberry paper doesn't pop, but that's something I knew would happen. Over-all I am very satisfied and impressed with my invites! :)"

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ernie!
Facts about Ernie
- Breed: American Shorthair
- Color: Black (All)
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Ernie's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
Hello, my name is Ernie and I'm a 1 year old black male cat with a white tummy. I'm a shy cat but I instantly start purring and rolling over on my back when I want attention. I love to have my tummy rubbed and I will rub my face against yours to show how much I love you. I was first trapped when I was still a kitten at 6 months, neutered and returned to my colony. Later on, when they were trapping other cats, I decided I didn't want to live in the colony anymore. So I went back into the trap and wouldn't come out. I knew a life outside as a feral cat was not for me. Now I live with my foster mom, Chris, and her other cats and have a great time exploring her house, playing and sleeping with my friend, Stryper. I would really like to cuddle up with a person and you can see from my video how much I love to be petted. Maybe someday I will get my wish.
Please call CARE at (804) 288-9797 about Chris' cutie !
Other Pets at CARE-Cat Adoption Rescue Effort
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ernie, a Richmond American Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Shorthair for sale in Richmond, or seeking a American Shorthair cat from a breeder in Richmond.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Richmond already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Richmond breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Shorthair breeders who help with American Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Richmond paves the way for another one to be saved.

text: Heavy flood hits Upper Saloum district - As over forty compounds affectedThursday, August 13, 2009 Over forty compounds in five villages in Upper Saloum district, CRR North were seriously affected by heavy down pour on Monday night August 10th.

Dear Mr. Coney,
I would like to know if you have any information about the Silver Baths in Coney Island. It would of been around give or take 1920. I don't know the exact name maybe it was Silver Salt baths.
If you have any information i would love to hear from you.
I do know it was visited by a big Jewish population. Looking forward to hear from you.
— Helene Ayala
Hello Helene,
Silvers Baths was Coney's fanciest bathhouse and was located on West 23rd Street at the Boardwalk from 1914 until 1968. The original complex burned in the great fire of 1932 and was replace with an ornate buff-brick building with a theater-style marquee that advertised "Russian Turkish Hot Salt Water Baths" and a "Vita Glass Solarium." The Solarium, on the Boardwalk side of the building, was a popular venue for sunbathing. Silvers had swimming pools, steam rooms, restaurants, dormitories for overnight stays, and masseurs. The baths had a jitney that would pick up customers at the Stillwell Subway Terminal and deliver them to the front door. Silvers was operated by John Bonsignore in its final years. The clientele was mostly of Eastern European descent.

Radio Currents Online - Aug 6 - Aug 12, 2007
The Latest From the Sat Merger Debate
Washington, DC - Aug. 9, 2007 - The NAB recently released its analysis of the proposed a la carte pricing and programming plan offered by XM and Sirius in their bid for a merger. From the analysis, the NAB has stated that under every programming package offered through an a la carte scheme, consumers will be charged higher prices-per-channel (40 to 188 percent more) than they currently pay.
The NAB also stated that both a la carte packages offered under a merger entity would include onerous restrictions and limitations preventing consumers from enjoying true a la carte choice. Consumers would also be required to buy a new radio for this programming. The analysis can be viewed at the NAB's website.
In opposition to the NAB's concerns Joele Frank released a statement saying the NAB's continuing effort to scuttle the merger clearly demonstrates they view satellite radio as a competitor, even as they claim the opposite.
The company also stated that the NAB set a new low in responding to Sirius/XM's announcement of the new offerings, which they believe offer two unprecedented a la carte programming options to consumers, available on newly equipped radios priced the same as current ones. In attacking the new a la carte plans because of the new radios needed to enjoy them, Frank said the NAB conveniently ignores the fact that HD Radio, introduced by the NAB's own members, also requires consumers to purchase new equipment to receive the HF Radio signal.
Frank points out that during the FCC's 45-day comment and reply period, more than 4,000 comments were filed in favor of the merger from individuals as well as many prestigious organizations and businesses, such as Circuit City, Honda, Hyundai, the American Trucking Association, the National Consumers League, American Values, the League of Rural Voters and Women Impacting Public Policy.

WEBO-AM Returns to Full Power
Quincy, IL - Aug 6, 2007 - An AM station on the air with a new Broadcast Electronics AM 5E transmitter and a temporary long wire will be restored to full power this week, thanks to a determined young broadcaster. WEBO AM 1330, licensed to Owego, NY, has been radiating 1kW from a long copper wire strung across three telephone poles as part of an STA since July 2006. 25-year-old David Radigan purchased the station at that time and acquired a BE AM 5E solid-state transmitter to replace a plate-modulated transmitter.
Under a previous ownership, the news station was divested of its capital assets and sold for one dollar. At one point, the AM operated as part of the town's movie theater operation. Radigan has been operating the 5kW BE AM 5E at a reduced 1kW output pending FCC and local approval of a construction permit for a new tower facility, designed by Consulting Engineer Bill Sitzman of Independent Broadcast Consultants of Trumansburg, NY.
Construction was to be completed last week for the new tower located in the village of Owego, within two miles of the station's original tower site. Early this week, BE's AM 5E will restore the station to 5kW non-directional daytime power, reducing power to 36W at night.

Ummm.. WOW... this is REALLY scary!
You must be reading my mind (or my notes) as this EXACT question and poll was something I had scheduled to post on the blog later this week!!!! :dizzy:
I'll hold off for a while, but for now, will go and cast my vote here...
Nice job! :)
(Insert comment here).
I probably like the Walter Cronkite version the best.
I never heard the Larry Dobkin version, so that kind of rules that one out. I did enjoy both the Cronkite and the Irons versions very much. They were both very good. However, I do think the Cronkite version probably had a little bit better music, in my opinion. The Dench version just seams weak to me in its narration and the script is terrible.
If it were allowed though, my "dream Spaceship Earth" would probably have the AA's from the current version, the narration of either Cronkite or Irons, the instrumental music from the Irons version and the ending decent with Tomorrows Child from the Cronkite version.
I liked the Jeremy Irons version best, but probably only because it was the version my kids and I first experienced together. They were very young and the AAs were "real" to them.
I have to go with the Jeremy Irons version. His voice just "fit" the atmosphere of the ride.
the music and the voice of Jeremy Irons defined my childhood in Epcot... i really miss that version...
I picked Judi Dence to annoy everyone haha, but also its the only one I can remember... I had only been to epcot twice before it was changed (on most of my trips to Florida my family could only afford to do one park day, and MK won most years lol)
(Insert comment here).
if only they would allow you to choose...
I picked Walter Chronkite because that was the narration i remember from my first visit when i fell in love with the ride, second would have to be Jeramy Irons.

SAS gets all 8 unions onboard
All eight unions have reached agreements with Scandinavian airline SAS over its drastic survival plan. In order to stay afloat, SAS has reached an agreement to increase its existing 3.1 billion kronor revolving credit facility to 3.5 billion, provided by seven banks and the three Scandinavian governments -- Sweden, Denmark and Norway -- that together own 50 percent of the company. But the financing has hinged on reaching agreements with the unions, as well as getting parliamentary approval for the plan. The Danish cabin crew union was the last to sign an agreement. Radio Sweden spoke to Sören Skoog from the Swedish Pilots Union.
The ailing airline SAS has reached an agreement will all eight of its employees' unions. The Danish Cabin Attendants' Union agreed on Monday afternoon to the terms of a cost-cutting package that includes a 13 percent rise in working hours and one month's pay less per year.
SAS' share price jumped 25 percent within an hour of the Stockholm stock exchange opening on Monday morning, although it remains at a modest 7 SEK.
Now that all unions have agreed to their terms, SAS will consider the cost-cutting deal at a whole and then present it to the banks hoping to get loan guarantees.
Unionen, which represents about 600 SAS cabin employees in Sweden, agreed early Monday morning to a deal that does not cut base salaries, but includes a 13 percent increase in working hours.
"This was a very, very tough decision," says its chairman Cecilia Fahlberg. "Securing jobs has been important, and the priority of our members. It has also been important not to accept salary cuts, which we managed," she tells Swedish Radio News.
SAS pilots will lose about one month's pay per year, says the vice chairman for Sweden's Pilots' Association, Sören Skoog.
"These are massive savings, exceptional cuts for SAS pilots. The main agreement changes salaries, pensions and working conditions. The pay cut corresponds to about one month's salary, working days increase by 7 percent and pension plans will change," Skoog says.
The airline's routes are scheduled to operate as planned on Monday, but several flights have already been cancelled due to a lack of staff.

Congrats Putin, although it was known given his popularity in Russia. I'm not talking from the media but through my personal feelings after visiting Russia several times and from the feed back of many common russians that I'm in contact with. I love him as a leader. He is the best president of Russia in post soviet era. He has resurrected Russia from garbage of Yeltsin. He is also good for the world, or the crazy war mongering western neo nazi colonialists will ruin the world. Russia is not as aggressive as soviet union to be able to stop all the western aggressions, but his approach will keep things in certain limits/control.
I'm with Shahbag for fair punishment of all war criminals. Im with Shahbag to stand for fair trials of all Corruption, all murders and social injustices occurred over last 40 years. I'm for a secular, corruption free & Just society in Bangladesh. Spirit of '71

FISHER was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to possession with the intent to distribute cocaine and distribution of cocaine.
Assistant U.S. Attorney James E. Seykora stated in court that the government would have proven at trial that FISHER possessed and distributed cocaine in the Billings area between October or November of 2008 to January of 2009.

Technology, of course, has transformed every aspect of travel—and that includes voluntourism. While building houses, teaching English, and implementing water-filtration systems and food programs have traditionally laid the groundwork for volunteer opportunities, technology-based positions are quickly becoming standard.
Clearly it's something the locals respond to; I saw their obsession with technology everywhere. Children jump into rivers wearing iPhone boxer briefs. They grab tourists' cameras to gauge the light meters and play with the filters. Pinching and zooming are practically second nature. And it's not just kids: at Kulen Mountain's sacred waterfall, monks pose in front of the mossy rocks and snap selfies on late-model iPads.
This phenomenon is hardly confined to Cambodia. Nicole Delma, founder of Fond Group and an activist and volunteer working with Grassroot Soccer in the shanty townships of Cape Town and Zimbabwe, had a similar experience. "All of the children know exactly what an iPhone is, and they all know how to use it," she says.
So volunteers in tune with the latest tech advancements are in high demand. My roommate, a photographer and graphic designer, ran a packed Photoshop and InDesign workshop overrun by enthused teens clamoring for positions in the computer room, often pushing and shoving to get the best seats and even shouting when the class was even one minute late.
The irony? Half the classes were canceled due to computer meltdowns and rolling blackouts. And many students were like Sita, who lives in such poverty that his home doesn't even have a door. So while the kids loved learning how to manipulate images of their favorite celebrities and K-pop stars, it's unclear how those skills could change their lives in any real way. Some 85 percent of Cambodians are farmers who make less than $300 per year. And the same is true in those iPhone-obsessed South African shantytowns, says Delma, where many of the kids don't even have shoes or running water.
So what's the point? In Cambodia, at least, Internet infrastructure is growing, as are the number of shops dedicated to computer and mobile maintenance and sales. "Being able to teach an internationally lucrative language, like English, is even more valuable if one can also teach computer skills," said Nick Mihaljevic, Director of TESOL Teacher Training for LanguageCorps, a Massachusetts-based organization that trains teachers and sends them abroad. "And it's those skills that can open doors to job opportunities that children in low-income communities would not have otherwise."
The emphasis on technology seems too wild to be true in a land where the latest news travels by word of mouth only. But perhaps it isn't wild at all. After all, I'm hardly the only one to have brought my iDevice abroad. Tourists, volunteers, and voluntourists—wittingly or not—have all been technology evangelists. We lend the locals our iPhones. We Instagram their pictures. We revel in their interest in our machines, as it matches our interest in them, and fall victim to this symbiotic relationship. We love them, and they love us, as long as we have our toys to share.
Of course, the locals know exactly how this technology obsession blossomed. "The tourists made it so," says Amok, my 29-year-old Cambodian-born teaching assistant. "There is no advertising, no billboards, not even TV, but the kids know all about what's new." They know so much, in fact, that they'll be disappointed if an iPad has only Angry Birds and not the game's newest iteration, Angry Birds in Space.

'Tis the season, after all, and now that racing is over for the moment, we're thinking about business, the next year and some new stuff. One note about shipments in time for Christmas: Our last full shipping day, and thus the last time for us to get goods out the door to you in time for gifting will be Monday, the 21st of December. We can't guarantee arrival of any orders placed after 4PM on this date, just so you know.
So, with one week to go, here are some of the best gift ideas we have to offer:
Embrocation of the Month Club
This is one we've been thinking about for a long, long time. The Embrocations we carry are some of our best selling items and we pride ourselves on being one of the preeminent suppliers of hot leg goo in the world. So, with that in mind, this year we're introducing our Embrocation of the Month Club. It's a pretty good deal for serious cyclists, especially those who are devotees of the lineaments. You get one hand-picked Embrocation at the beginning of each month along with a product card describing the properties and benefits of each embrocation, a Mad Alchemy Embrocations towel and a custom carrying case – as yet to be released. If you don't have embrocating needs 12 months a year, no problem – we offer the club in a couple different half year options as well: One for road and one for cyclocross. It's a cool and unique gift idea – something that will give people months of enjoyment and a few surprises along the way.
Embrocation Cranberry T-Shirt
Jeremy, being the t-shirt nut that he is, has come up with some pretty good designs over the past year. But, if we're being honest, and I always am, then I have to say that our newest shirt is my favorite. It's a deep red color with light blue logos on the front – our now-famous moka pot in a new configuration but still classy and unique. Tim Johnson likes it and he just won the National Championships. So there.
Moving on…
Taza Embrocation Edition Chocolate
This isn't exactly a new product, but what is is running out. At the time I write this I have about 12 packs left in stock. In fact, I'm tempted to take all that's left and keep it for myself, my friends and loved ones. Think of this as one of the ultimate stocking-stuffers. Chocolate Santa? Chocolate gold coins? Um, no. This is the best chocolate you've ever had, I promise.
Not to toot our own horn too much, but, well, our socks are awesome. Everyone seems to love these things, and for good reason. They fit well, look good, hold up well and, of course, they're tall. We're now offering them, for a limited time, in a two-pair-pack, one blue pair, one white pair for a savings of over six dollars. Check it out.
Embrocation Cover Prints
The cover photos for Embrocation Volumes 3 and 4 were both taken by Chris Milliman, one of our favorite photographers and a good friend. They've become extremely popular and, dare I say, iconic images of cycling culture. Love or hate the image content (I'm talking to you, people who dislike the bloody knee) it's hard to deny the quality and originality of the photos themselves. Chris has graciously provided us with very high quality prints of these last two volumes for us to sell individually. So, if you're thinking about buying someone one of those black and white posters with Tour de France riders from the 1930's smoking cigarettes, don't. Buy one of the new classics from one of the best contemporary cycling photographers current working.
And there you have it. These are some solid gift options for the cyclists on your gift list, or as one of the many to: me, from: me options under the tree this year.

OOLTEWAH — On the cusp of a new high school pigskin season, the District 5-AAA coaches were singing a familiar tune during Wednesday's annual media day luncheon.
"This (the district race) could go any way this year," declared Cleveland High head coach Ron Crawford, whose Blue Raiders edged out Ooltewah by a point for the top spot in the preseason media poll, but we second to the Owls according to the coaches' voting.
"Last year was a three-way tie for first and it could be the same this year," he added. "It's not just two or three teams that are capable of winning this thing, but any of the teams can win it."
Cleveland went 10-4 and made a playoff run to the state semifinals last fall. East Hamilton finished 10-3, falling to the Raiders in the quarterfinals, while Ooltewah ended up 2013 with a 9-3 record, falling to the Hurricanes in the second round of postseason play. All three teams went 5-1 in regular season league play and were ranked in the Top 10 in the final AP state poll.
"There's no doubt this is one of the toughest districts in the state," proclaimed East Hamilton coach Ted Gatewood, who's Hurricanes got the top 5-AAA seed going into the playoffs last fall due to the tiebreaker process. "Every week is a tough challenge."
"You've got to bring your 'A' game every Friday night," echoed Ooltewah head man Mac Bryan. "Several of last year's district games came down to the final series. I expect it to be the same this season."
It's not just the local coaches and media that expect a dogfight for the 5-AAA crown, as coaches across the state ranked Ooltewah ranked fifth and Cleveland sixth in one preseason Class 5A statewide poll.
A total of 14 area media members present for the annual luncheon gave the Raiders 89 total points and the Owls 88, with both teams receiving a half dozen first place votes.
The coaches leaned more toward Ooltewah with the Owls taking five of the seven top votes and 46 overall points, while the Raiders got the other two first place picks and had a total of 37 points.
East Hamilton, which was third in both polls, got the other two No. 1 nods, and had a total of 74 points from the media and 32 from the coaches.
Bradley Cental (5-6 last year) nipped McMinn County (4-6) 28-27 for fourth place in the coaches' opinion, but the Cherokees had a 52-47 advantage in the media poll. Walker Valley (4-6) and Soddy-Daisy (3-7) were sixth and seventh respectively in both polls.
While many standout players return in the district this season, five of the seven offenses will be under the field direction of new quarterbacks. Only McMinn County's Corbin Powers (1,692 yards, 15 TDs) and Hunter Maynard (1,707 yards, 16 TDs) at Soddy-Daisy return under center for their teams.
Coach Crawford is turning the reins over to senior Austin Massey, who "has a different skill set" than current Middle Tennessee State walk-on Austin Herink, who led the district with 3,421 yards and 35 aerial TDs last year. "Austin (Massey) is a tough kid physically and mentally. He's been our 'Sam' linebacker on defense, but he'll only play offense this season."
Bradley head coach Damon Floyd will turn the pigskin over to a very familiar name — Copeland. Cole, a 6-foot-3 sophomore, "is bigger than his older brother Bryce, who was a four-year (Bear QB) starter, but not as fast," according to his coach. "He has a lot of potential."
Copeland's dad Brian and uncle Brent were also Bear QBs, while his uncle Chad was a wide receiver. The Copeland family's athletic skills aren't limited to the gridiron, as they are well known for their basketball skills as well. Cole's sister Brooke is currently at the University of Florida on a hoops scholarship while Bryce is playing at Lee University.
After he started the final game of last season, junior Josh Jones takes over the new Walker Valley offense full time this season.
"We are coming into the 21st century and changing our offense from the Wing-T to the 'spread' this season," related Mustang head coach Glen Ryan. "We hope to have a strong running game to go with the it. This is a big change for us, but the kids are excited about and Josh will do a good job running it."
"The kids have made the transition well and are picking up the offense," Ryan added. "It's fun to run and allows us to get the ball into the hands of six or seven different players."
Ooltewah and East Hamilton are having to replace veteran QBs Brody Binder (2,110, 20 TDs) and Hunter Moore (2,982, 22 TDs) with players who have had little or no Friday night playing time.
The Owls do have plenty of experience on the other side of the football, with nine defensive starters returning, while the Hurricanes have just four veterans returning on offense, including running backs Matt Milita and David Whiteside, and five on defense.
Cleveland will counter with both of their ball carriers — TJ Parker and Raekwon Bunion, who combined for more than 2,000 yards last season — running behind four returning O-linemen, but only have a trio of defensive starters returning.
Bradley has four returning starters on both sides of the line of scrimmage.
"Our offensive line will be a strength with two guys back, and a total of six seniors competing for the five spots," assessed Coach Floyd. "Overall, we are young and we've got to stay healthy."
Walker Valley returns four defensive starters and just three on offense. "We've still got a lot of work to do. We've taken steps to get better, but we're inconsistent right now," remarked Coach Ryan.
Soddy brings back seven offensive starters and five on defense. "We had a lot of young guys get plenty of experience last year, so hopefully that will pay off this year," commented second-year Trojan coach Justin Barnes.
McMinn has a half dozen returning on the offense, including four linemen, but just three on the defensive side of the ball. "We only have 12 seniors on the team, and we lost all of our receivers and secondary," related Cherokee chief Bo Cagle.
The 2014 season kicks off Aug. 15 and 16 with the annual jamboree at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga, before the real games begin Aug. 21 and 22.

I'm 59 and have lived in East Texas for 14 years, having lived most of my life in the Dallas area. My favorite thing to do has always been cooking, especially one pot meals like soups, stews, and chili that can be served with crackers, homemade crusty bread, or cornbread. Of course I cook other things; love to barbecue and love Mexican food, but the one pot meals are my favorite and most comforting, especially in the cooler months.
I've been cooking since I was a child. I made my first family meal at about age 10. It was my mother's goulash recipe. My mom was painting my bedroom and I had to run back and forth from the kitchen to the bedroom asking her what the next step was. After 40 years, I still make the goulash and consider it to be my signature dish. I've added a few spices over the years,tweaked the recipe and now call it Texas Goulash (recipe #178669).

Public banned from bringing cellphones to criminal courthouses
BY LISA DONOVAN Cook County Reporter email@example.com December 11, 2012 2:36PM
Sun-Times Library
Updated: January 13, 2013 11:06AM
In a move aimed at preventing gang members from intimidating witnesses and even potential jurors in criminal cases, Cook County Chief Judge Timothy Evans announced the public will be banned from bringing everything from cellphones to iPads in to criminal courthouses.
Evans said in a prepared statement Tuesday that several judges who preside over court cases told him they were concerned "that people attending court proceedings were using their cellphones to photograph witnesses, judges, jurors, and prospective jurors. They also said persons appeared to be texting testimony to witnesses waiting their turn to testify outside the courtroom, while others were attempting to stream live to media comments by judges from the bench."
"The court is sending a strong message to gang members and others that any attempts to intimidate witnesses, jurors, and judges in court will not be permitted," Evans said in his statement. "The ban will help to ensure that justice is properly done by preserving the integrity of testimony and maintaining court decorum."
The ban will be in place at 13 court facilities where criminal cases are heard and kick in Jan. 14th.
Violators could be slapped with a contempt of court charge.
The Richard J. Daley court complex, where civil proceedings are largely heard, is exempt from an all-out ban, though the use of electronic devices will be restricted to public areas away from courtrooms.
Those visiting the courthouse on official business with approved identification will be allowed to bring in phones and other electronic devices, but will only be able to use them in public areas.
Others exempt from the ban include: current or former judges; licensed attorneys, all law enforcement officers, all government employees, those called for jury duty — though jurors selected to serve on a panel would have to follow the order of the trial judge; building, maintenance and repair crews — and any related outside vendor, and members of the news media.
Evans noted that after the "anticipated" approval of news cameras in Cook County's court rooms, news organizations will "be allowed to use their electronic devices in the courtroom."
Currently, there is no ban on phones and other electronic devices in Cook County Circuit Court. But individual judges may set their own rules in their courtrooms.
Under the new policy, judges will still retain that autonomy and decide whether cellphones or any other electronic devices may be used in their courtroom.
Cellphones can be brought in to the Dirksen Federal Courthouse, though there are restrictions on their use inside courtrooms.
DuPage County bans any cellphone that has a camera — virtually all cellphones these days.
Meantime, Lake and McHenry County allows people to bring their phones inside their respective courthouses.
