The summary
LOS ANGELES — The Blackhawks don't like the Blues and they don't particularly enjoy the company of the Canucks, either.
PHOENIX — Every year, the NFL draft has represented at least a small chip on the shoulder of Lance Briggs, who has never forgotten falling to the third round in 2003 before the Bears drafted him 68th overall.
PHOENIX — As far as failed long snappers go, Rob Ninkovich had been a terrific outside linebacker turned defensive end.
LOS ANGELES — Several times over the years, Tom Thibodeau has reminded all how Tim Duncan averaged nearly 40 minutes in his first six seasons with the Spurs. He did it again Tuesday night before the Bulls' overtime victory over the Warriors.

LOS ANGELES — Given the defense-optional, exhibition nature of the Rising Stars Challenge, it won't matter what position Nikola Mirotic plays for the World team on All-Star weekend
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Jerian Grant waved off the screen. At that moment, everyone in Purcell Pavilion thought he was going to shoot the ball. A collapsing Duke defense thought so. Even Grant thought so.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Tiger Woods returned to the Phoenix Open and received cheers, boos and gasps.
A 7-foot monument to Cubs Hall of Famer Ernie Banks began its four-day stay at Daley Plaza on Wednesday, attracting a hodgepodge of Chicagoans seeking to honor the beloved baseball icon.
When the White Sox traded infielder Gordon Beckham to the Angels in August in what was billed as a clean slate, he didn't think he would return.

CHANDLER, Ariz. -- Tom Brady is dealing with a cold four days before the Super Bowl but says he'll be OK.
After grudgingly making an effort -- 29 times -- not to be fined by the NFL, Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch may still not escape punishment from the league.
Long before there was Deflategate, former Bulls coach Phil Jackson said he and other New York Knicks players would deflate basketballs in the 1970s.
Everybody is making a big deal out of Marshawn Lynch not wanting to talk to reporters, but Seattle Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll doesn't have a problem with his hardly quotable running back.
MADRID -- Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended from Real Madrid's next two matches after his violent outburst in last weekend's league game that included kicking an opponent.
The appetite for wacky Super Bowl predictions seems to grow each year, and all manner of man, animal and machine are served up to feed fans' hunger.
Earlier this week, one of the NFL's lead investigators into the "Deflategate" controversy said the league's probe could take weeks to complete. That timeline appears to make sense, based on a report by the New York Times that details an assistance request made by an investigator to the Columbia...

Terrell Suggs famously refuses to say New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady's name, but now, he might have to. The Ravens outside linebacker has been appearing on the NFL Network as part of its Super Bowl coverage, and Brady is basically the star attraction.

East Valley Tribune readers got a chance to learn more, in a week-long series of articles, about their new neighbors in the fastest growing part of our community. And although the breakneck growth is a bit unnerving to even those among us who benefit from this economic engine, it's hard not to welcome the good folks moving here.
One can nit-pick the demographics — predominantly white and middle to upper middle class may not be viewed as "diverse" enough by some — but we see nothing wrong with the values and dreams we found most of these households bring with them. In short, they possess traditional American values and it's the quintessential American Dream that they pursue.
It's not mysterious, and it's not necessarily politically correct. Many are young families with children moving to a place they view as more promising and supportive of young families. They find spacious, attractive homes on ample-sized lots at reasonable prices, good schools, plenty of parks, terrific weather most of the year, moderate taxes and a political system that generally favors individualism over big government.
Come to think of it, those are pretty much the same things that brought a lot of us to the East Valley. They're qualities championed by our best-known statesman, Barry Goldwater, and we hope they never go out of style.
But like many good things, there are limits to Arizona's bounty. The current drought has brought that home. Even with the engineering marvel known as the Central Arizona Project, which brings Colorado River water to our Valley, we are learning that unrestrained growth is simply unsustainable.
What to do? Well, the last thing we should do is follow the sorry example of California and ratchet up taxes and regulations to the breaking point. But embracing a policy of ensuring that growth fully pays for itself makes good sense.
East Valley cities have made progress in that regard in recent years by enacting development impact fees that ensure new home buyers pay more of the costs associated with growth, such as extending streets and utilities and building new parks and libraries.
But East Valley growth still does not fully pay its own way. Not by a long shot. We all pay taxes to build more streets and freeways, and to extend bus routes to accommodate newcomers.
Many East Valley thoroughfares are falling into disrepair because of scarce tax dollars and going to pave streets in newer areas. And state as well as local school taxes are largely being used to build new schools in fast-growing areas.
We see no need to slam the brakes on East Valley growth — or to make newer areas "exclusive" by artificially driving up prices. But making growth fully pay for itself is just good public policy, mainly because it stops existing residents from subsidizing growth that many view as a mixed blessing — or worse.
East Valley cities should reexamine their development impact fees to make sure they are adequate to fund expansion of all municipal infrastructure and services. And the state Legislature should do the same, particularly with respect to education and water. While new-school construction is paid for out of the state's General Fund, there is no requirement in state law that the families moving into those newer neighborhoods pick up a proportionate share of the financial burden that they are creating.
The East Valley can and should continue as a land of promise and opportunity for those seeking a better life. But there's nothing unreasonable — or un-American — about expecting people to pay their own way.

Richard Cohen's July 29 column, "Exonerating the criminals," distorts the truth and muddies the waters about the conflict in Israel and Gaza. He implies that anyone who criticizes Israel or its policies and actions vis-a-vis the Palestinians is anti-Semitic That is a ploy to conjure up guilt in people of other religions, and it's just plain wrong.
Cohen makes one valid point buried in the middle of his column: the persistent settlement of the West Bank being "surely cause for indignation." Well, the Palestinians are indignant and angry about it; that's why they support Hamas. They are also indignant and angry about the total blockade Israel has imposed on Gaza. State Rep. Steve Santarsiero, in his July 31 Guest Opinion, doesn't acknowledge this basic fact.

Garen is so BA!
i think Urgot is OP End.
I liked it personally. I like the character, I wish it was a little bit more descriptive of his past, his judgement basically recalls the story that's already in his Biography.... I also wanted to say, I like the idea of hearing of heroes who have been denied entry into the league for one reason or another, and, maybe told to come back and try again?
Garen is a knob.. why is it he seems to be THE MAN. very nice way to introduce Urgot though.
Junior Member
Urgot is not Op. I found this to still be interesting, though I kinda wanna see some art from when he was...human(?). Idk haha, Im not exactly a creative person. I applaud this though, Im starting to quite enjoy the lore and possible story plots that are forming.
Are we eventually going to get these for older champions to? That would totally make my day!
Interesting for the most part But this one doesn't have the whole asking twice bit. It's just 'revenge' and that's it. I think that was pretty **** obvious, but hey, it was still entertaining Gonna ask again, can we get some champions who have unclear motivations on what they want to do? While Galio's was a bit different, the other three were just 'We fight good' and they were put in. I'd personally like to see Fiddlesticks'. He is such a mysterious character, it would be satisfactory to learn why he is actually fighting in the league

By Matthew Broersma
11 June 2007
Web security research is being seriously hampered by laws that punish
researchers for even attempting to locate flaws in web software, much
less disclosing those flaws, according to a new study.
The report is the first by the Computer Security Institute (CSI), a
research and training organisation under the aegis of CMP Technology. It
draws on discussions by a broad working group, including security
researchers and representatives of US law enforcement agencies.
The upshot is that current legal frameworks designed to allow
prosecution of web attackers also make it next to impossible to legally
spot security flaws in the "web 2.0" applications quickly becoming
ubiquitous on the Internet.
Those researchers who do feel safe probing web software for flaws are
probably not aware of their real legal position, the report said.
Unlike researchers who address offline software and operating systems,
web software researchers face significant legal restrictions designed to
trap attackers, according to Jeremiah Grossman, chief technology officer
of White Hat Security and a member of the working group.
"Under some laws, a researcher could find himself prosecuted for simply
looking for website vulnerability, much less disclosing it publicly," he
said in a statement.
The report is to be released on Monday at CSI's NetSec '07 conference in
Scottsdale, Arizona.
It suggests that changes may be needed if the emerging ecosystem of web
applications is to be kept secure. That could include changes in the
law, including to the assignment of liability, how "damage" is
quantified and how disclosure and criminal intent figure into the
picture, the report said.
Short of changes to the law, the report suggested websites could
encourage vulnerability disclosures through anonymous tip lines or the
use of "dummy" sites specifically for the use of researchers.
The working group included organisations such as Fortify Software, SPI
Labs, the US Department of Justice, Cenzic and the Electronic Frontier

Bird in Hand
A Novel
The accident was just that -- an accident. It was dark, it was raining, ALISON had two drinks in her, and the other car ran the stop sign. She just didn't get out of the way fast enough. But now a little boy -- not her own -- is dead, and Alison finds herself trapped under the twin burdens of grief and guilt, and feeling increasingly estranged from her husband . . .
CHARLIE, who has his own burdens. He's in a job he doesn't love so that Alison can stay home with the kids (and why isn't she more grateful for that?); he has a house in the suburbs and a long commute to and from the city each day. And the only thing can focus on these days is his secret, sudden affair with . . .
CLAIRE, Alison's best friend. Bold where Alison is reserved; vibrant where Alison is demure, Claire has just had her first novel published, a thinly-veiled retelling of her childhood in South Carolina (which is also Alison's, in a sense). But even in the whirlwind of publication, Claire can't stop wondering if she should leave her husband . . .
BEN, an architect who is thoughtful, kind, and patient. And who wants nothing more than a baby, or two -- in fact, exactly the kind of life that Charlie and Alison have . . .
Four people, two marriages, one lifelong friendship: everything is about to change.

Found in Eastern Canada as well as all of the United States to the east of the Mississippi river as a swamp grower. Likes full sun and acidic soil. I got this one from Carson Whitlow who gives a very good talk on American terrestrial orchids. With a Ph meter ($10 from eBay), I titrate a watering can of water with fertilizer to a Ph of 4.5 by adding a little vinegar. I have one other plant, Cypripedium acaule, also from the northeast, which is the only other plant that gets the acid treatment. Started out with 2 bulbs last year, now there are about 10 plantlets, only 2 will bloom. Carson says that in time, they will form a dense colony and with multiple blooms will look quite spectacular for a terrestrial plant. Check back in a couple of years. I know fluffy Blcs and Lcs look good, I hope to some day have a colony of these guys that also grabs one's attention. Nick |

That is a fabulous photo, and bloom, but how big is the bloom? I have seen other photos and they look very small. |
- Posted by orchidnick z9Ca (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sat, Mar 22, 14 at 10:36
Not that big, about 1". When all the little plantlets bloom, 2 to 3 years from now and the pot has 10 to 15 flower bunches then it will look pretty good. Nick |

Can we recommend a medication to a doctor to prescribe?
1Jul 12, '13 by stallion8797I recently ran into a situation where I called a doctor and recommended to them a medication for an agitated patient. The patient had not had this medication in the past but had no allergies to it or its contents and no medical condition that would have made the recommendation inappropriate. The doctor wrote the order, patient received med, and no ill effects came from it. My manager is telling me it is out of the nurses scope of practice to recommend a medication to a doctor. Is this true?Joe V likes this.
14Jul 12, '13 by SaoirseRNIt would only be out of your scope if you gave the med without an order. I phone doctors all the time with suggestions or requests.
Your "recommendation" is no different from me saying, "My patient is sounding very wet. I would like to give him some lasix." and the doc subsequently ordering the patient to have lasix. Or, for that matter, me saying, "The last time she had a UTI, she responded better to septra than to cipro."
As long as ultimately the doctor put in the order, I don't see how what you did is out of your scope. -
6Jul 12, '13 by psu_213, BSN, RNIt is totally within your scope to recommend a med. A nurse with good critical thinking skills would be able to looks at a situation, weight the different medication options, anticipate what will be ordered, and question (in a professional manner) any medicine that he/she thinks is not appropriate.
On a side note, if the patient has never had the med, how did you know they were not allergic to it or its content? (sorry, just curious) -
3Jul 12, '13 by stallion8797Let me clarify the allergy comment in saying there was no documented history of an allergy. The doctor was an on call psychiatrist and the primary psychiatrist was upset and went to my manager about it. I consider myself to be a good nurse with good clinical judgement and I advocate for my patients all the time. This pt stated "im hearing a lot of voices. Everything they give me doesnt work. Give me something to help."Im glad you all agree with me. I was starting to doubt myself for a moment.
10Jul 12, '13 by Altra GuideYou've learned a lesson about that oncall psychiatrist then -- when someone disagrees with his/her judgement his/her automatic response is to look for someone else around to take the heat, rather than say, "yes, I ordered that -- do you want to discuss why you disagree?"
11Jul 12, '13 by MunoRNI hope your manager is not not a Nurse, if so they missed the basic premise of Nursing (pt advocacy) while in school. If the primary psychiatrist was upset with a decision made by the on-call (regardless if it was at your suggestion), then they shouldn't leave on-call duties to someone else.
1Jul 12, '13 by nrsang97As rapid response I have to recommend meds all the time. The other night we had a pt we had to narcan due to medications and she went crazy after we gave it. We had to call to get an order for something to calm her so she wouldn't hurt herself. We suggested haldol. We got the order and gave it.
To me no different from calling for an order for TPA to declot a picc line. You ask if you can give cathflo 2mg per picc port and you give with order.merlee likes this.

Perfect walking Shoes!
"I went to DSW with the goal of buying the perfect walking shoe. I was going on vacation to Spain and knew I would be walking a lot! I came across these and instantly liked them. I am not a fan of wearing flats or sneakers so I thought this was going to be hard. But I tried them on and they fit perfect, they weren't bulky and not loud. I have slightly wide feet and no arch, but just walking around in the store, I felt they were going to be great. After the first day of probably walking about 10 miles, I remember thinking that I hadn't complained about my feet once the entire day. I couldn't have been happier with my choice. I also wore them with jeans and a dress and they looked so cute. I highly recommend these if you plan to be walking a lot. I am actually going to purchase another pair just so I have them for next year!"

(Updates with comment from CEO in seventh paragraph.)
Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Dow Chemical Co., the largest U.S. chemical maker, posted an unexpected fourth-quarter loss after demand fell in Europe and North America, reducing sales of plastics and other materials.
The net loss of $20 million, or 2 cents a share, compared with net income of $426 million, or 37 cents, a year earlier, Midland, Michigan-based Dow said today in a statement. The average of five analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg was for net income of 32 cents a share. Revenue rose 2.4 percent to $14.1 billion from $13.8 billion.
Chief Executive Officer Andrew Liveris is struggling with higher costs for raw materials including ethane and lower orders from Europe amid the continent's sovereign debt crisis. Profit from plastics, Dow's biggest unit, tumbled 29 percent as costs rose for ethane and other raws materials and demand for resins such as polyethylene fell.
"There is nothing good happening in the polyethylene market," Mark Connelly, a New York-based analyst at Credit Agricole Securities USA Inc. who rates the shares "underperform," said yesterday in a phone interview. "The China business slowed down dramatically."
Dow fell 3.4 percent to $32.80 at 8:11 a.m. before the start of regular trading in New York. The shares dropped 6.7 percent in the 12 months through yesterday.
Adjusted Profit
Profit was 25 cents a share excluding an allowance for deferred taxes in Brazil, asset-impairment costs and other one- time items, Dow said. That trailed the 31-cent average of 17 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Costs for ethane are dropping in the current quarter, and customers are rebuilding inventories from an "all-time low," Liveris said today in an interview on CNBC. Low U.S. costs for natural gas will boost profit margin through 2012, he said.
Sales volumes fell 4 percent in North America and 5 percent in the region that includes Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Dow said. Gains of 3 percent were posted in Asia Pacific and Latin America. Plant operating rates dropped on average 9 percentage points to 72 percent in the quarter from a year earlier, Dow said.
"The shortfall was due to macro-environment deterioration starting mid-quarter as customers looked to de-stock inventory heading into year-end," Charles Neivert, a New York-based analyst at Dahlman Rose & Co. who rates the shares "hold," said today in a note.
'Challenges' in Europe
Dow expects "challenges in Western Europe to persist in the near term," Liveris said in the statement. "We do not anticipate material improvements in market conditions for the first quarter of the year, but do project economic recovery will gain momentum as we move through the second quarter and the remainder of the year."
Price increases fully recouped higher costs for raw materials and energy, Dow said.
Dow and Saudi Arabian Oil Co. said in July they will proceed with a $20 billion plan to build factories that make petrochemicals from low-cost oil and gas derivatives at the Saudi port of Jubail. Dow plans to expand production of plastics ingredients ethylene and propylene in Texas and Louisiana, including construction of an ethane cracker, its first U.S. ethylene plant since 1995.
Dow, founded in 1897 as a bleach maker, is the world's biggest producer of chlorine, epoxy resins and linear low- density polyethylene plastic. It's the second-biggest chemical maker by revenue behind Germany's BASF SE.
(Dow scheduled a conference call to discuss results at 9 a.m. New York time, which can be accessed at LIVE <GO> or on the company's website at www.dow.com.)

Check out the trailer below and be on the lookout for more details on Enemy Front in the coming days. We're currently in the process of lining up an interview with the development team so we'll be sure to keep you updated on the status of that. Trailer No one has commented on this yet? And it's weird … I'll be the first. Beautifully illustrated the truth about the events of WWII. I am very pleased that the CI reaches so deeply into WWII and not only outlines a lightly, especially since the first show some Polish history as part of the game. The combination of work and pleasure. Fábio Vieira All I see is another Polish developer promoting their apathetic first-person action game with an emotional trailer.¹ That's low, and in their case, disrespectful. ¹ Dead Island, developed by Techland. http://www.onlysp.com/ Nick Calandra The difference between this and that Dead Island trailer was that it was pre-rendered, this is in-engine footage. This game was originally just another shoot em up, but now it looks like they've focused in on a certain direction and it's looking good. Fábio Vieira "The difference between this and that […]" …is their marketing budgets. Last time I checked, the game was roughly a Far Cry 3 reskin (Raph van Lierop's input?), with open, sandbox-y levels, knife takedowns, destructible environment (though the last two features are now commonplace in FPS games). Now watch the trailer… Is it coherent to the game I just discribed? Unless Enemy Front is now narrative-driven and CI Games ditched most (if not all) of the action elements, the trailer is a thoughtless exploitation, in my opinion. "SAD/OUTRAGED/DISGUSTED? BUY OUR GA- I MEAN, JOIN THE RESISTENCE AND SHOOT/STAB/BURN THEM NAZIS!!!" Abjons After I see this trailer I can say this game will focused on Warsaw Uprisin. Same trailer include Polish historical facts. In my opinion CI want to do great game and I keep my fingers crossed for the. Polish developers do game about Polish history I think it can be good conbination. Trailer I wonder if other games of WWII also evoked such emotions? But in every game of this type if it MOH or CoD comes to bad Germans, which must be eliminated in order to move to the next mission. The more it seems to me that the CI focused on the PW to show this piece of history multitude of foreign players. Apparently everyone knows but it really is not much and that was not just another mission to the passage is presented in this and no other trailer. It's just my humble opinion. Abjons I hope that Enemy Front will be as good as CoD 2 or better:) This could be one of the best shooter game that I've played. I agree with You Trailer. I have enough moder shooter game such as CoD: Ghost or BF4 so WWII shooter is the best think what CI can do for me:D

The Sea (Picador 40th Anniversary Edition)
First published in 2005, The Sea was critically acclaimed as an extraordinary achievement. It went on to win that year's Man Booker Prize, one of the most hotly contested in the history of the award. When Max Morden returns to the seaside village where he once spent a childhood holiday, he is both escaping from a recent loss and confronting a distant trauma. Mr and Mrs Grace and their twin children Myles and Chloe appeared that long-ago summer as if from another world. He grew to know them intricately, even intimately, and what ensued would haunt him for the rest of his years and shape everything that was to follow. In 2012 Picador celebrated its 40th anniversary. During that time we have published many prize-winning and bestselling authors including Bret Easton Ellis and Cormac McCarthy, Alice Sebold and Helen Fielding, Graham Swift and Alan Hollinghurst. Years later, Picador continue to bring readers the very best contemporary fiction, non-fiction and poetry from across the globe. Discover more at picador.com/40

Introduction to Internationalization Programming
Typically, a programmer works on the source code, and a translator deals with the corresponding .po file, which may be created with the copy command from the .pot file or directly from the source with the xgettext program.
Glance over a .po file, and you will see it has a header and entries for translating. Here is an example of an entry:
# This is my own commentary #: counter.c:25 #, c-format msgid "You typed %d %s \n" msgstr "Vous avez tapé %d %s\n"
It's simple. You translate phrases from msgid and put the results into the msgstr fields. If a line starts with #:, it is a reference to the source; if it starts with #, it shows an entry's attributes. You can add your own comments in lines starting with two symbols: # (the pound sign and then a white space).
After copying the template .pot file information (.po) or creating a new one with the xgettext command, you can start translating. Generally, this job can be done by another person using his or her favorite editor. (X)Emacs is not a bad choice for this job, but KBabel, part of KDE, is an even better one. If you are going to participate in a team of translators, it is highly recommended that you use KBabel. Describing KBabel is beyond the scope of this article, but you can read more about it in "The KBabel Handbook" (see Resources).
Translation is a kind of art. Writing a correct phrase can be difficult, and you sometimes may doubt your ability with a particular language. So, you may want to leave some entries untranslated, or having translated them doubtfully, mark them as "fuzzy". With KBabel or (X)Emacs, you easily can find such entries and edit them again later. Do not worry; only fully translated entries will be compiled later by msgfmt and become usable in programs. This simply means that an entry may be marked "translated", "untranslated" or "fuzzy", and as software changes quickly, there is also an "obsolete" attribute.
Languages are flexible. English messages are not always perfect either. In our case, the message "You typed 0 digit" is incorrect. GNU gettext can manage translating problems like word order, plural forms and ambiguities, but you have to use extra functions that hold more arguments than gettext().
Once you have translated the file, you should convert it into a .mo file that gettext will use if you run the program with the corresponding locale. Do not forget to put this file in the right place, in our case:
mv counter.mo fr/LCMESSAGES/
Now the counter can speak French! (See Listing 1.)
Programs evolve, and if their source code is changed, the corresponding .po files also have to be updated. Using only xgettext in this case is not an ideal solution. All translated messages will be lost, because it overwrites .po files. In this case, you should use the program msgmerge. This program merges two .po files, keeps translations already made (if the new strings match with the old), updates entries' attributes and adds new strings. Of course, these new strings will be untranslated entries. A typical call is simple:
msgmerge old.po new.po > up-to-date.po
In this article, the input method is not described, although it is also important. Generally, non-X11 software doesn't need to worry about i18n input methods, because it is the responsibility of the console and X terminal emulators.
For input in X11, three methods exist: Xsi, Ximp and XIM. The first two are old-fashioned; the last one is the de facto standard. Their descriptions are beyond the scope of this article; however, the source code for the rxvt program provides an excellent example.
Modern tools provide their own special subroutines for input of internationalized strings, using gettext for output messages. To make program code 8-bit transparent for internal proposals, Unicode is used. Qt, for instance, works in such a way, providing additional functions for input and output of i18n strings correctly (see Resources).
You also may want to look at the source code of mutt, which is a good i18n program (www.mutt.org). This program supports aliases for charsets.
Using Unicode in your programs is described by Tomohiro Kubota (see Resources). Happy i18ning!

linux i18n support sucks
Wow, linux internationalization support sucks.
There's so little documentation, and no standard system support.
Windows is much better in this aspect.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

If money makes the world go round, then these economic infographics deserve more attention.
Aside from investment advice and salary-related infographics, holiday spending seems to be a hot topic. The 'Pay Off Holiday Expenses' infographic advises shoppers on paying off debt they've accumulated from holiday expenses. It includes harsh facts and questions to help consumers confront their spending habits, all through a series of cute cartoons.
On another note, the 'How Much Does Bond Cost the Taxpayer?' chart estimates how much tax money would be spent on James Bond if 007 was real. The detailed infographic reveals all of the undercover agent's expenditures. His cool gadgets and nice suits, along with all other lavish accessories, would apparently accumulate up to a total of 1.4 million British Pounds a year.

"MONDAY MONDAY," by Elizabeth Crook. Farrar, Straus and Giroux. 340 pages. $26.
Many of us remember the Mamas and the Papas' hit song, "Monday Monday." On Monday, Aug. 1, 1966, Charles Whitman ascended the great tower at the University of Texas and proceeded to shoot and kill as many people as possible.
In this intriguing novel by the award-winning author Elizabeth Crook, Shelly Maddox is gunned down and rescued by Wyatt Calvert, whose cousin, John Stone, in an effort to help him, is also shot and sterilized for life. Crook's family saga moves forward from that horrifying day, which she describes in vivid detail.
Wyatt, who's married with a son, has an affair with Shelly who gives birth to their daughter whom John and his wife, Delia, adopt since they can't have children. The secret remains hidden from Wyatt's wife, Elaine, for years. Working at a gift shop in San Marcos, Shelly, who's survived a flood, runs into the Stones and their (her) daughter, Carlotta. All become close friends in the years that follow.
Shelly marries geologist Dan Hadley. They have a daughter, Madeline. Dan's position on that fateful day is slowly revealed. The Devil's Sinkhole, a natural bat habitat in Texas, plays a horrific role in further events. And one night Shelly, Wyatt, Madeline, Carlotta and all, along with a runaway dog and a dead tadpole, converge. It's time to talk.
Crook is fine at probing the depths of emotions as they shift and shiver, but her flat characters are virtually interchangeable. They're blank screens on which to project psychological turmoil, but they have no distinctive personalities of their own. They're ultimately decent folk, and Crook's bright, visual prose assures us that all will turn out well.
Maybe that's the definition of soap opera: emotions and situations overwhelm all else. It's still a decent novel — what will happen amid the lovers, deaths, marriages and babies? — but it's the carefully crafted crises that linger, not the characters.

"One of the best tools ever for Bible Study!!"
There is just so much information available right at my finger tips. Instead of needing several reference books I have a wealth of information that I can compare, cross reference, and build a true understanding.
Well there is very little that i don't like. Most of my difficulties with this, as well as other programs, is my inability to interact fully. I use a voice typing program and sometimes have difficulty navigating the full capabilities of the software.
I highly recommend this to anyone who is serious about Biblical Studies, and also for those who just need a foundational program to start their study of the Bible. It offers the best resources for both beginner and those , like myself, who have been studying formally for almost 30 years. I use it regularly in my research and study toward my Doctorate in Early Christian History.

In Egyptian religion, the creator god. The patron of craftsmen, especially sculptors, Ptah was identified by the Greeks with Hephaestus, the divine blacksmith. He was represented as a man in mummy form, wearing a skullcap and a short, straight false beard. He was originally the local deity of Memphis, capital of Egypt from the 1st dynasty onward; the political importance of Memphis caused Ptah's cult to spread across Egypt. With Sekhmet and Nefertem, he was one of the Memphite Triad of deities.

Jorge De La Rosa got his 10th win, and Nolan Arenado had an RBI as the Rockies beat Miami 2-1.
Jorge De La Rosa tossed six scoreless innings, Todd Helton doubled and scored a run, and the Colorado Rockies held on beat the Miami Marlins 2-1 on Wednesday night.
Michael Cuddyer reached three times and Rex Brothers picked up his sixth save in seven chances with a scoreless ninth.
Miami entered the series having not scored in 37 innings, but it is the Rockies who have struggled for runs in the first three games. They managed one Monday, two against Jose Fernandez on Tuesday and two more against Jacob Turner on Wednesday.
De La Rosa (10-5) made sure the two runs would stand up with another strong performance, and the bend-not-break bullpen helped Colorado snap a two-game skid.

Romney is no better or worse than any of the Candidates running for President in 2008. They are all checking the emotional points of interest in the voters and will push those points until they get into office and will return to the apathy that has driven them when it comes to right versus wrong.
The federal government has no authority over the social actions of any American. No matter of pandering to the religious right, should have any merit behind it.
It seems to me that Romney instilled no American values into his own sons as none of them feel a need to protect the American people but simply their own Mormon asses.
He wants only to overturn Roe v Wade and return the abortions back to dirty motel rooms that kill many young women. I listen to the emotions of these Christians and wonder where the hell they get the authority to judge who lives and who dies at the hands of criminals. I suggested here at CHB Reader Rant (just before I was banned in 2000) that it might be a good idea to open hundreds of clean abortions clinice along the Mexican side of the border to stop the killing of our American women.
This would give individual freedoms that the Christians like Romney, would fight to make illegal. That is the hypocrisy found in the Republican candidates.
We have seen the moral values of Conservatives and most of us old time Republicans want nothing to do with any of it. The only action I see needed is a return to the Separation of Church and State and get the government out of our individual freedoms.

As A Student in a Self-Taught Online Class....
By Nicole on Dec 29, 2013
As my title states, I'm in an online class, and don't get me wrong, I get the point of online is to do the work yourself. But this book IS NOT helpful at all. It asked for some Journal Entries and then never even gave an example of what one should look like. I went to my home university's Advanced Accounting book to find all the examples and explanations for concepts in this book. My Advanced Accounting book explained the first five chapters of this book better (and did it in only 2 chapters!!). There is no clear division of "Learning Objectives" and the Chapter is not divided into sections based on the learning objectives like most other Accounting books I have used. I'm a very visual person and it helps me to know that I've finished this concept and it's time to add another part or move on to step two of whatever process I'm doing. It's very confusing and difficult to read and they allude to answers. Like there are multiple choice questions and they ask about specifics from the reading. Right, no problem, until you're down to the last 2 choices and you're like "Screw this" because the book talks about both or never even mentioned these things. Not all of them are like that though.... just like 3 or 4... Maybe.... This book is very bland and I've taken a lot of accounting classes...This book really isn't colorful (legit it's gray, red, black and white. Maybe some blue...). On top of that, it's just very wordy and hard to read and it's really been discouraging especially in an online class. As a student it stinks that I had to buy this book and it stinks if you're a student who has to buy this book for class. For any professors reading this, maybe you should pick a different book? I know the world of Government and Not-for-Profit Accounting books are quite limited, but maybe you should write a better one? Maybe with Journal Entries and not as wordy paragraphs that are broken up into learning objectives and sections so it's not as chunky and visual for all of us aspiring government and not-for-profit accountants... (Accountants are visual people right?) Get the point across to me so I can process it easier and then apply it to real world applications.
Dull, poorly organized and almost useless.
By Tw Brown, Author, Editor, And Reviewer on Mar 25, 2014
Perhaps already being an accountant for so long, it was just hard to glean much material from this text. I may have opened the book twice (and managed a 95.8% grade for the course). I got more from student interaction and scanning an article or two online.
Fantastic book
By Rolando Sanchez on May 06, 2014
This book is fantastic for learning government accounting. I believe the people that have poorly rated this book fail to appreciate or recognize the difference between financial accounting for businesses and government/not-for-profits. Indeed it has been said that the book is very wordy , but this subject is very deserving in its complexities to merit such wordiness.

This product has been discontinued
I originally loved this product, but after having it for about a week I can see what everyone is saying about it. It is too heavy on my face.
I thought it would be different for me because I have normal to dry skin, but I don't like that it sits on my face for hours before it completely absorbs. The packaging is exception, but this lotion is too greasy and thick for anyones skin. I don't usually break out, but this gave me little bumps.
Needless to say I returned. I switched it out for the gel.

Ugh. I used this a few yrs ago along with the Cleansing Gel and it broke me out BADLY!
I've since learned you should never use products where the bottles are see through since the ingredients break down too quickly
Got this as a sample and couldn't even finish that. I broke out instantaneously. Will obviously not repurchase. Still gave this a few lippies because the formulation is nice and this may work for dry/combo skin whereas my skin is more on the oily/combo side.
I do like this product, but I feel that it almost soaks in 'too' quickly maybe. I like that my skin is not greasy afterwards, but I tend to feel like it may need more moisture without extra applications of DDML. Kind of hard to explain. I shall leave it at "it is okay and I like it".
This is one of the few moisturizers that doesn't irritate my dry and sensitive skin. It absorbs quickly and doesn't feel heavy or greasy. The lack of SPF and fancy anti-aging ingredients is actually a positive thing because those sorts of things often cause my skin to react. Just make sure you buy the bottle with the pump and not the plain bottle!
After only a short time using this product my skin is smoother and looks great! Down side is that it makes me breakout!!!!
This stuff has made my face breakout it is very greasy I have combo sensitive skin the clinique SA suggested this for a #1 and #2 skin type I am so disapointed in the whole 3 step it is way to harsh on my skin. I tried both the extra mild and mild facial cleanser as well and these products are also terrible for my skin, would not recomend for sensitive skin.
I have repurchased this many, many times. The perfect lotion for dry/combo skin. This is a holy grail product for me! Been using it for 7-8 years.
I find this to be a very average moisturizer for the price. There's nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't blow me away. There is nothing different at all about it. If you're looking for a basic unscented moisturizer, this isn't bad but it is a bit overpriced for being pretty average.

I got a sample of this when I purchased some Clinique makeup. I got a 1 o.z bottle of it, and let me tell you I couldn't even TRY to finish it. I just didn't like this product. I used it for several weeks and I couldn't come to love it. Granted, it is recommended for dry to dry combination skin and I'm a bit on the oily combination side, so that may have been a factor in my results. This broke me out and I didn't get consistent results from it. It'd do nothing for me one day, and the next it'd be too oily. It may have just been me. Whatever it was, this moisturizer did not work for my skin.

A proposal to require all West Allis residents to buy a city trash cart to combat a growing rat problem in parts of the city, and to beautify it, was delayed by the Public Works Committee on Tuesday so that more information can be gathered.
Among other things, the committee wants to know if there is enough of a problem to warrant the requirement. The committee will likely take the matter up March 11.
About 65 percent of residents already have city carts, said Alderman Vincent Vitale, who proposed requiring the remaining 35 percent to buy them also. Not only are rats becoming amore of a problem in some eastern sections of the city, but the trash cans blow around and sometimes make it hard to get through alleys, he noted.
A 60-gallon cart would cost about $40 and a 90-gallon cart $45, he said, and residents would have two years to purchase them. The city might even be able to buy them in bulk and get a better deal for residents, Vitale said.

On Labor Day, my husband Bud and I drove to Munfordville and Cave City. We didn't have a particular reason – just gauming around, as my dad used to say. (Gaum is a southern term used for "having no particular destination." It may be used also to say "what an awful mess." Some people spell it "gom." Chances are, your dad said it too.)
Anyway, while driving through Munfordville, we noticed a small sign that said "Kentucky Stonehenge." Having no particular reason not to, we decided to follow the arrow.

I write today in support of Mike Hornback for LaRue County Schools Board of Education.
He has consistently put his support of the LaRue County Schools into action. That's the type of school board member LaRue Countians should support. It is easy for people to say that they care about education and our students. There really isn't anyone who would openly say he or she didn't support our public education system. However, saying and doing are entirely different things. That's what sets Mike Hornback apart from the average citizen.
The composite ACT score for 2010 Kentucky high school juniors remained stable from the score recorded a year ago.
LaRue County Schools, however, showed a stark improvement in some areas of the college readiness test.
The results released last week are from tests that all Kentucky high school juniors took last spring. It was the third year in a row for LaRue County juniors to take the now-required ACT. Results were shared during the Aug. 16 school board meeting.
The Lady Hawks soccer team defeated the Lady Cougars of Grayson County 1-0 on Sept. 14.
The offense of senior Shelby Mouser, juniors Megan Smith and Skye Davis peppered the goal mouth and consistently made thru-passes, driven passes and crossing passes only to be denied by the defense. However, it was the freshmen duo of Shelbi Brooks and Abby Modrowski who netted the only score of the match. Brooks rocketed the ball past the keeper with 10 minutes remaining in the first half with the assist to Modrowski.
A soldier from Rineyville died Saturday in Kandahar province in Afghanistan.
First Lt. Eric D. Yates, 26, a 2003 graduate of John Hardin High School, died from wounds suffered when insurgents attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device. Yates along with Staff Sgt. Jaime C. Newman, 27, of Richmond, Va., were killed in the attack.
Hawks homecoming is Friday
Football homecoming is Sept. 24. The Hawks will take on the Elizabethtown Panthers. LaRue County Youth Football players will be introduced.
Rotary fundraiser
The Hodgenville Rotary Club will host a punt, pass, kick fundraiser at the home football game Sept. 24. Check with any Rotarian for more information.
Tour de LaRue
A year-long investigation into the growing problem of methamphetamine has resulted in the Sept. 15 arrest of 10 people in Green County. Troopers from Post 15 along with units from the Greensburg and Campbellsville City Police and Green County Constable Brad Hall executed the indictment warrants – and more arrests may be pending.
All 10 were charged with engaging in organized crime – criminal syndicate.
Other charges are:
Several employees at the LaRue County Detention Center were certified or re-certified last week in CPR and first aid.
Joey Stanton, chief administrative officer at the jail, first set up the class last year with Southern Health Partners. Employees are required by the Department of Corrections to stay up to date on the four-hour course. Stanton said that before last year the course hadn't taken place in three or four years.

I am in the middle of clearing ground for a new garden, which, of course, won't be planted until cooler, mid-end Sept weather. I live on the plataeu by Enumclaw, and my soil seems to be pretty good, probably from a combination of old horse pasture and glacial plane. The thing is, in certain spots the soil changes to a really fine textured, almost silky stuff. I think this is described as silt, but am not sure about this. It does seem to hold moisture and drain well. Full sun. I was thinking about planting yarrow (Paprika) and Sea Holly, mainly because that is what I have (plenty, in pots). Are there better perennial flowery type plants that will work? I tend to like the bigger things, 3 to 5 feet. I can amend with compost and chopped leaves if necessary, but this seems like the type of soil that you can amend until the cows come home and barely change the composition. Thanks for any suggestions, ps I am a looooong time reader, but I don't post much. :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
What was growing on it beforehand might hint at what would like to be planted there. If it gets damp (puddly) in winter yarrow and sea holly might not like that. |
mostly buttercups and running grass. I don't think there is standing water in the winter, but it is where the snow melts last. Now that I think about it, it may be too damp in the winter for my choices. Back to plant searching. Thanks for the reply, what not to plant is sometimes more important than what to plant. I appreciate the help. MC if this message appears twice, please excuse, my browser seems wonky this morning. |
Creeping buttercup likes raw, clay-like soils with good levels of nitrogen. Might indicate those are good spots for other perennials adapted to damp ground. You might be able to do very well with certain tall, showy kinds like you enjoy. Look at discussions of waterside plants, moisture gardening, bog gardens etc. |
what about changing the grade here and there, focus the moisture? |

Nadal withdraws from Buenos Aires event
Published on Feb 7, 2014 3:22 AM
PARIS (AFP) - World number one Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from next week's ATP tournament in Buenos Aires because of a lingering back injury, the Spaniard announced on Thursday.
Nadal posted a video on his official YouTube page, in which he said he had failed to fully recover from the back problem that plagued him during last month's Australian Open final.
"I wanted to make an announcement that really fills me with sadness. I will not be able to play in the tournament in Buenos Aires," Nadal said.
"Since I came back from the Australian Open with my back injury I have not been able to train. It is impossible for me to prepare properly for a tournament as important as Buenos Aires, so very unfortunately I have to take this decision."

Happy Latino Heritage Month 2014 and welcome to our website!
Every year, we take time to reflect on the contributions made by Latinos to Illinois' social fabric and economy. Our State is a complex, dynamic place; every resident has been enriched by Latinos, who now comprise one of every six Illinoisans.
The face of Illinois Latinos has changed dramatically recently. The 2010 Census shows that for the first time, more Illinois Latinos live outside of the City of Chicago. There has been notable growth in the Latino population in places ranging from Waukegan to Kane County to rural Onarga. Illinois Latinos are attending college, buying homes and operating businesses in unprecedented numbers. There have never been as many Latinos in public office or the judiciary.
Our celebration of Latino Heritage Month includes this website which will help everyone appreciate the history and importance of Illinois Latinos. Since the 1880s, Latinos have been building Illinois' roads, railroads and water infrastructure. Governor Pat Quinn will showcase their accomplishments as part of 2014 Latino Heritage Month with the free exhibit "Latinos Building Illinois", open from Monday, September 22 to Friday, September 26, in the James R, Thompson Center Atrium, 100 W. Randolph, Chicago.
Last year, we hosted a fascinating exhibit in the James R. Thompson Center in Chicago, October 7-11, saluting "Latino Inventors, Scientists and Innovators", while displaying the flags of Latin American nations. Each day of the month last year, we also honored a "Latino Trailblazer". This feature tells the story of a Latino who overcame odds to achieve greatness. Our first installment introduces you to Ellen Ochoa, the first Latina in space, and other pioneering Latino astronauts. We'll pause to remember Manuel Perez, Jr., the first Illinois Latino to be awarded the Medal of Honor. You'll meet Latino writers, athletes and musicians. Visit our site and help us spread the word about these extraordinary "Latino Trailblazers".
My goal is to make Illinois the most welcoming state in the nation, and to use our fast-growing Latino community as an asset in building lasting trade and cultural relationships. How? Explore our website to learn about our trade missions to Mexico and Brazil, our Sister Rivers/Lakes partnerships and the Governor's Office of New Americans.
I hope you find this website to be entertaining and edifying, and wish you a Happy Latino Heritage Month!
Pat Quinn Governor of the State of Illinois
