Ladies learn more about breast healthThursday, November 8th, 2012 Issue 45, Volume 16.
Warren started by encouraging the ladies to get involved in the cause (of breast cancer awareness) and improve their health. She recommended that women have their annual mammogram in October to make it easier to remember to schedule it since "October is all about pink." She pointed out that even football players wear pink during that month to promote breast cancer awareness. Warren then covered information that most of the women probably already knew but also answered several questions about what they didnt know. She said that breast cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed in women, right behind skin cancer. Some of the risk factors for breast cancer, from high to low, are age, certain genetic mutations, mammographically dense breasts, high bone density, high dose radiation to the chest, two first degree relatives with breast cancer, alcohol consumption (more than one drink a day), early onset menses (younger than 12), late age for first full term pregnancy, late menopause â over 55, and obesity. The mortality rates for all types of breast cancer increase with age. While it is important to have clinical breast exams and mammograms starting, it is very important for all women to do a self-exam each month and "get to know the geography of your breasts" according to Warren. She said she has had several patients come to her "having found their own cancer." Warren also explained that everyone has BRCA â 1 and BRCA â 2 which are tumor suppressor genes. Mutations in those genes can affect their ability to suppress cancers. Women with these mutated genes have a 65 to 74 percent chance of developing breast cancer so further genetic testing is recommended. She stressed that no screening test takes the place of a mammogram to decrease the risk of developing breast cancer. Other ways of decreasing that risk, she said, include maintaining a healthy weight throughout life, balancing calorie intake with physical activity, adopting a physically active lifestyle, and eating a healthy diet. When asked what women should be looking for, she said a little tumor is usually the size of an eraser at Advertisement Hope Suhr, who does personalized bra fittings at her Hopes Chest boutique in Canyon Lake, talked about how to find the right bra for each body type. She said, "The right size bra gives you better posture, makes you look younger and thinner, feel more feminine and gives you confidence." It was the personal experience of being fitted that led her to research how to do it and then start helping other women find the right bra. She detailed the "Battle of the Bra," in which women need freedom on the side for arm movement, coverage and seams for better support. Suhr said elastic is good for smooth lines. For sagging, "underwire and push-up seams are your friend." She detailed the anatomy of a bra: the band, cup, channeling, closure, straps and underwire, adding that the number is the band size and the letter is the cup size. A too tight bra can decrease a womans lung function, cause back pain and loss of spinal movement according to Suhr. She added that tight straps can cause headaches, numbness and tingling in the arms, nerve damage and neck pain. She also pointed out that although bras last up to 200 wears, they need to be refreshed daily by adjusting the straps which stretch a little each time they are worn. She also said each bra is manufactured differently, (hand fed into a sewing machine). So, even bras of the same make and style wont fit the same way, so it is important to try each bra on before buying it. Furthermore, there are over 23 styles of bra, each for a different figure making getting the right fit key to wearing a comfortable bra. The social aspect of the Ladies Night Out program is as important as the health information provided at these events. Before the presentations, the roomful of women enjoyed a healthy salad prepared by Fallbrook Hospital staff while chatting with friends and acquaintances.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Craig Rice (1908–1957); born Georgiana Ann Randolph Craig; was an American author of mystery novels and short stories, sometimes described as "the Dorothy Parker of detective fiction." She was the first mystery writer to appear on the cover of Time Magazine, on January 28, 1946.
In 1908, Mary Randolph Craig reluctantly interrupted her globetrotting to return home to Chicago to give birth to her first child, Georgiana Ann Randolph Craig. Mary's husband, Harry Craig, a Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin native was nicknamed Bosco. Soon after Georgiana's birth, Mary abandoned the child to return to her husband overseas leaving Georgiana to travel from relative to relative. They returned in 1911 to meet their three-year old daughter but then departed for Europe again, moving on to India when the war broke out. At that time, Georgiana found a permanent home in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin where she lived with her paternal aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Elton Rice at 607 South Main St. It was the Rices who raised Georgiana and it was her uncle Elton who has been credited with stirring her interest in mysteries by reading her the poems and stories of Edgar Allan Poe.[1]
Craig Rice "apparently spent her early life working in (Chicago) on radio and in public relations. For a number of years she tried unsuccessfully to write novels, poetry and music, but it was not until her first story of John J. Malone, which she published under her birth surname and adopted surname [Craig Rice], that she enjoyed some hard-won success."[2]
Gritty but humorous, Rice's stories uniquely combine the hardboiled detective tradition with no-holds-barred, screwball comedy. Most of her output features a memorable trio of protagonists: Jake Justus, a handsome but none too bright press agent with his heart in the right place; Helene Brand, a rich heiress and hard-drinking party animal par excellence (to become Mrs. Justus in the later novels); and John Joseph Malone, a hard-drinking, small-time lawyer (though both his cryptic conversation and sartorial habits are more reminiscent of such official or private gumshoes as Lieutenant Columbo). Against the odds and often apparently more by luck than skill, these three manage to solve crimes whose details are often burlesque and surreal, sometimes to the point of grand guignol, and all involving the perpetually exasperated Captain Daniel Von Flanagan of the Homicide Squad. A few stories feature the team of Bingo Riggs and Handsome Kusak, small-time grifters who become involved in criminal situations and have to dig themselves free by solving the mystery.
Craig Rice also ghostwrote for a number of celebrities, including Gypsy Rose Lee and George Sanders.[3] "While the collaboration with Gypsy is often reported, J. F . Norris writes, "In the recently published and throroughly well researched biography of Gypsy Rose Lee (Stripping Gypsy: The Life of Gypsy Rose Lee, Oxford University Press, 2009) [author Noralee Frankel makes it clear] that Craig Rice DID NOT write either of Lee's comic mystery novels. This is supported with correspondence between Lee and Rice. Rice did, however, help craft the screenplay for The G String Murders which became the Barbara Stanwyck vehicle Lady of Burlesque." Her association with Sanders came about as a result of her work on the screenplays of two of The Falcon movies, The Falcon's Brother (1942, Sanders's final outing as The Falcon) and The Falcon in Danger (1943, when Sanders's brother Tom Conway had taken over the role). She collaborated with fellow mystery writer Stuart Palmer on screenplays and short stories and with Ed McBain on a novel for which she furnished the principal characters, Bingo Riggs and Handsome Kusak. (The "collaboration" with McBain is a "posthumous collaboration in which McBain completed an unfinished book begun by Rice. In a foreword to at least one edition of the book, McBain wrote that the book was essentially half-finished in first draft, but there were no notes as to how she had intended to continue it, so that he had to solve the mystery himself before completing the MS.)
She had three children, two daughters and a son. "Craig Rice kept very few personal records. She was conventionally wed four times with other affairs."[4] One of her husbands was beat poet Lawrence Lipton. A reader of her 1944 novel [1]Home Sweet Homicide might be excused for believing that it was based on her experiences with her own children; the children solve a mystery while their mother, oblivious to their antics and everything else around her, tries to finish writing a mystery novel. The novel is told from the children's point of view.
Emulating the wild lifestyle of her characters, Rice developed chronic alcoholism and made several suicide attempts. She also suffered from deteriorating health, including deafness in one ear and blindness in one eye with incipient glaucoma in the other. She died of apparently natural causes shortly before her fiftieth birthday.
All novels feature John J. Malone and Jake and Helene Justus unless otherwise noted.
The Amazing Mr. Malone (aka Murder and Mr. Malone) 30 minute episodes, 1948 (ABC), 1951 (NBC). John J. Malone was played principally by Gene Raymond and also Frank Lovejoy and George Petrie.
The Amazing Mr. Malone (1951–1952) 13 30-minute episodes starring Lee Tracy as John J. Malone
"Although The Amazing Mr. Malone ran for only one season on ABC from September 1951 to March 1952 it is fondly remembered by older viewers as the first crime series to feature a wise-cracking relationship between a Chicago lawyer and a police Captain ... which had originated in print, transferred successfully to the cinema, and then made it to TV—though not with the success it had enjoyed in the other two media. ... All in all, The Amazing Mr. Malone deserved a better fate than the one to which it was condemned by poor ratings.[2]

Over a year after this article was published and drought conditions still prevail west of the Mississippi. Don't be fooled by a heavy rainfall event or even a series of storms, a drought will not break overnight. Take for example, our 3-year drought and recent rainfall in Oklahoma http://tripleeagent.blogspot.com/2013/05/enter-sandman-drought-continues.html . Still a multi-year deficit.
Photograph by Mike Theiss, National Geographic
Published April 25, 2012
This story is part of a special National Geographic News series on global water issues.
The early spring of 2012 raised both temperatures and eyebrows, including President Obama's.
As reported in The Weekly Standard and elsewhere, the President recently commented at an Atlanta fundraiser: "When it is 75 degrees in Chicago in the beginning of March, you start thinking. On the other hand, I really have enjoyed nice weather." Now, in April, we're seeing that this spring break may leave us with a fierce hangover.
On April 10th, 61 percent of the lower 48 states were listed by the U.S. Drought Monitor to be in abnormally dry or drought conditions. And the Southwest, which largely relies on ice melt into the Colorado River Basin from the Rocky Mountains and previous years' melt stored in the Lake Powell and Lake Mead reservoirs for its water supply, is poised for a dry, hot summer, because those areas received less than 70 percent of the average snowfall according to the USDA National Water & Climate Center.
These reservoirs are already at only 64 percent capacity following a decade-long drought from 2000 to 2010. And the possibility of more drought years to come is raising concerns over how to manage a river of which every drop (and then some) is now allocated to some use.
Drought, however, may be only one factor in the drying up of the Colorado River Basin. To assess the vulnerabilities of the watershed and consider how water supply and demand might change in the coming years, the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation has embarked on a study of the Colorado River Basin to be released this July. An interim report shows that current water use outstrips the supply and projected demand for water could be greater than the projected supply by more than 3.5 million acre-feet within 50 years, particularly when the effects of climate change are included.
Water supplies are measured in acre-feet, with one acre-foot equal to the amount of water it takes to cover one acre in a foot of water (325,851 gallons). So 3.5 million acre-feet of water is a large amount--the Lake Powell reservoir (the second largest in the United States) holds 26 million acre-feet when full.
(Related: "Tour the Colorado River Basin")
Revisiting Supply and Demand
"Existing demand very clearly outstrips existing supply," says Barry Nelson, a senior policy analyst in the water program at the environmental nonprofit Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). "That's the main reason we're seeing declining storage. That simply cannot continue."
Climate change, meanwhile, poses a threat of increased drought in a region with a long paleo-climatological record of natural drought. In a 2010 report on the county-level effects of climate change on U.S. water supplies, an analysis by consulting firm Tetra Tech and NRDC projected that by 2050, 27 out of 64 counties in Colorado will face high or extreme risks of water shortages, as well as 13 out of 29 in Utah, 19 out of 33 in New Mexico, 36 out of 58 in California, and a startling 13 out of 15 in Arizona.
With droughts come wildfires. As reported in the Denver Post, a weekend snowstorm on April 14 and 15 reduced the immediate risk of fire in the Denver area, but a March 26 fire in the Lower North Fork region of southeast Colorado killed three people, destroyed 27 homes, and blazed through 4,000 acres. Furthermore, the erosion resulting from wildfires can wreak unexpected havoc upon water supplies.
In May 1996, the Buffalo Creek fire burned 11,900 acres within the watershed of the South Platte River, a major source of Denver's municipal water. Two months later, heavy rains washed tons of sediment into the Strontia Springs Reservoir, which holds approximately 80 percent of Denver's water supply. In one day, the reservoir lost 30 years of its 50-year lifespan.
Climate change may also mean that less water will fall as snow to be retained in snowpack, and will run off instead as rainwater. In March, the USDA's National Water & Climate Center announced that the Lower Colorado River basin, along with many parts of the West, was reporting snowpack conditions that were "much below average." Sandra Postel, National Geographic's Freshwater Fellow, notes, "Climate models estimate that the snowpack that feeds the Colorado River could decline by 30 percent by 2050."
(Related: "Visualizing Our Water Footprint")
Seeking Solutions
But there are some encouraging trends. Most cities that rely on the Colorado River Basin for water have seen their per capita water consumption decline by about 1 percent per year since 1990, according to a 2011 report by the nonprofit Pacific Institute, an advocacy organization devoted to water issues. (PI also works on climate, community development, etc.)
Although municipal use accounts for only 15 percent of total consumption of the Colorado River--agriculture dominates by far with a 70 percent share--the rapid rise in population by approximately 10 million people from 1990 to 2008 makes cities the fastest growing consumer. Furthermore, California in 2009 passed legislation requiring a 20 percent reduction in water use by 2020, which amounts to 2 percent per year, doubling the current rate of decline.
In Colorado itself, "drought is one of the biggest drivers that we see as potentially contributing to water supply shortage," says Veva Deheza, manager of the Office of Water Conservation and Drought Planning at the Colorado Water Conservation Board. Rather than aim at specific targets or create a statewide goal, Deheza says, Colorado is taking a multi-pronged approach that includes conservation and efficiency, building new water supply, perhaps transferring that supply from the agricultural sector to the municipal sector, and looking at reuse more aggressively as a potential water supply for the future.
Yet fragmented state-level responses may pose challenges. An April report by NRDC analyzed U.S. states' readiness for the impact of climate change on its water resources and found that while the states of Colorado and California had both made plans to prepare for climate change impacts, their neighbors had a long way to go. According to the report, the state of Utah has made no formal attempt to prepare for the effects of climate change, while Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico have made only limited efforts.
If the projections for the years to come are accurate, water supply problems are likely to remain a concern for the Southwest.

Guns with True Grit
Movie prop man Keith Walters' selections add authenticity to the Coen brothers film.
- Written by Phil Spangenberger
- Published April 26, 2011
If not for replica firearms, we'd still be watching movies where the actors shoot it out with 1892 Winchesters and 1873 Colt revolvers—regardless of the time period of the film!
Thanks to detail-conscious prop men and armorers like Keith Walters, the 2010 True Grit's property master, this story first shared on film by John Wayne is authentic and a real treat for Old West gun lovers.
Walters already has an impressive resume of Westerns under his belt, including 1999's Ride with the Devil, 2003's The Missing and 2008's Appaloosa—all noted for their authentic looks and firearms. When it came to True Grit, he says, "I made a special effort to select weapons and gunleather that were well defined by the characters in the original Charles Portis novel, as well as being solid work horse guns, that is . . . arms that were commonly and popularly used in the particular era, rather than a novelty or unusual weapon that might seem 'cool' or flashy to a modern audience."

Braided Ficus Emergency
Hi, I hope someone can advise me on this. I have a five-foot braided ficus that had had some neglect. I had just got it back to happiness at a sheltered east window in my office. The A/C vent is directly across from it (about ten feet away) and I usually kept a chair in front of the vent and an oscillating fan going to move the air and keep the cold air from blowing directly on the tree. I also kept the A/C on the warm side anyway. The climate here is very hot and dry and the power bill shoots up if we try to keep it below about 75-80.
Two weeks ago someone here turned the A/C way down into the 60's over the weekend. I came in Monday morning to what felt like a refrigerator. That cold air had been blowing right on the ficus all weekend. I hadn't worried about the chair and fan as I left the building with the A/C at about 85. There are maybe five or six leaves still alive--everything else is dead. I've trimmed some of the twigs and see just a hint of a sort of sick green.
Can I save this tree? And if so, how? I had been planning on repotting it as it needs a little more room. Should I wait? This poor ficus holds a lot of sentimental value for me.
Aww man! That's a sad story, Laurie. (Ficus benjamina? I'm assuming so.) If the tree was in good health & growing well, it will almost certainly push a new flush of foliage. If it was weak and struggling, it might be too tough on the tree. I wouldn't repot it now. It will need the reserve energy retained in the roots to push new foliage. Potting up would be ok, but I would wait until the tree starts to push a new flush of growth and leaf out BEFORE I pot up, and then I would only go up a little in pot size after severing the bottom 1/4 of the roots. You can come back for lots more information about what to do, when, after you have evidence your tree is fighting back.
If it helps, you can read the link below that's dedicated to guiding those who are tending ficus and other tropical trees in containers. There's a lot of good info and conversation there.
Here is a link that might be useful: Lots more about tending your Ficus if you click me ....
Thank you so much! I do believe, if the light is JUST right, that I can see 1/8 inch pale green slips at the tips of some of the branches. Fertilize? Give it the trimming I thought it needed to shape? Or leave it to its own devices and continue to send it loving energy?
I will follow your advice and wait on the potting up. The pot isn't a lot larger, though more attractive and the saucer underneath doesn't leak. That will be nice.
Ah - it's good to see you smile, and it's good to be able to smile in the face of adversity. ;-) I'd just leave it be for now, and be very careful not to over-water (check with a wood dowel or skewer before you water) or let it go dry. It will take almost all of the tree's energy reserves to push a new flush of growth, and that will leave the tree vulnerable - especially to any additional loss of the foliage it's pushing now, which is why the watering is important - guards against a drought response and the shedding of leaves. It might be better to take a conservative approach, at least until you're sure the tree is well on the way to recovery. Where you live (?) will have a lot to do with what you can or should do, as far as any pruning goes.
When you're sure your tree is recovering, we can take a closer look at how congested the roots are and maybe pot up or do some things that allow the plant to stay in the same pot, but with a little fresh soil to semi-rejuvenate it until you can get after some more serious root work next summer.
How have you been fertilizing? How recently - with what - what strength? When you watered, were you watering so you were flushing the soil, or just watering in small sips to keep the soil damp? We'll get around to fertilizing as soon as you know your plant has turned around, but the answers to the questions above will help me determine if you should flush the soil thoroughly before you start fertilizing again. If your plant makes it through the next few weeks, there's little doubt that you can really make some big strides in restoring its vitality by this time next year. That seems like a long time to a grower, though it's naught but a blink to a tree. Putting yourself on tree time and resigning yourself to being patient enough that you can work with the tree's natural rhythms instead of against them will pay big dividends in the end. And what you learn along the way, you can apply to your other houseplants or other perennials you might one day keep containerized. We'll have you known as the plant whisperer among your friends/co-workers before you know it. ;-)

Letters to the Editor
Thursday, September 06, 2012
Dear Editor:
It's back to school time and the issue of school fees is here again. Parents should not have to pay school fees for required courses or programs of study in Alberta.
The Alberta School Councils' Association believes fees should not be charged for things which are part of students' required learning. For example, if a calculator or a workbook is needed to complete a math course with earned credits going toward a high school diploma, or is required to complete a program of studies mandated by Alberta Education, required items should be supplied free of charge to the student.
While fees may be necessary for some courses and programs (sports, music, art), the basic programs of study required for a student to earn a high school diploma in Alberta should not have any fees attached. Nor should there be fees associated with elementary programs and the required courses that prepare students for junior and senior high school.
Parents and school councils are rarely consulted or informed about school fees before being asked to pay them - what the fees are being charged for, why they are being charged, how the money collected was spent and, if it was spent on the things for which the fees were collected. Parents and guardians are expected to pay a bill for which they have little or no knowledge about, and whether paying these fees will make a positive difference in their child's education.
Those doing the paying should be part of the conversation first - about why and what the fees are for. And at the end of the school year, parents and school councils should be provided an accounting of the fees collected and how they were used.
In a perfect world, K-12 education would be "fee-less". Although not ideal, eliminating fees attached to required courses, consulting and informing the people who do the paying - before they are asked to pay - would be a step in the right direction.

Leduc Enforcement Services addresses back to school safety
Monthly education campaign also focuses on etiquette at the off-leash dog park
Off-leash dog park usage
The City of Leduc provides an off-leash park for residents and their canine family members for their enjoyment and to provide an opportunity for socialization. Enforcement services would like to remind everyone of a few rules when utilizing this outdoor amenity. While dogs are not required to be on-leash within the fenced area, owners must have voice control over their pet to ensure everyone has a positive and enjoyable experience. Pet owners must still pick up after their dog, monitor them to make sure their dog is not being aggressive towards other animals and/or people. Pet owners are also required to carry a leash with them while in the fenced area.
Back to school safety
As children and teens head back to school, community peace officers would like to remind everyone to be more aware when travelling through school zones. Throughout the province, traffic injuries are the leading cause of hospitalization and death of children younger than 14 years of age. Motorists are urged to use caution when driving through residential areas and adhere to speed limits in school and playground zones:
School zone hours are in effect Monday to Friday (excluding holidays) from:
8 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. 3 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.
School zone speed limits are 30 km/hr.
School buses are back on the road. Watch for alternating flashing amber lights indicating a bus is slowing down to pick up or drop off students.
Expect the unexpected. Children may cross the street at the wrong place, or unexpectedly run or ride in front of you.
Motorists are not permitted to park or drop off children in bus loading zones or lanes.
For more information on this month's topics, contact Leduc Enforcement Services at 780-980-7200 (option 5).

It's Tuesday morning and Paul Pope's staff is hustling around a walk-in closet in his Spanish Colonial spread in Highland Beach.
A buxom 30-something with cascading brunet hair sits on the floor cradling a black-belt-fed M60 machine gun. Nearby, a stocky middle-aged man in a baggy white sports coat casually grips an unloaded Heckler and Koch MP5 submachine gun outfitted with a scope and silencer. Soon a SWAT-style shotgun is passed around as another pretty assistant checks serial numbers against state paperwork, the reason behind the chore. A hulking bodyguard, monk-quiet, stands sentry.
It's the type of hardware you'd expect to see pouring rounds into a Taliban encampment rather than sharing shelf space with undies and dress shoes. Pope watches from the doorway, dressed in a cream-colored button-down and dress slacks. Though his cherub cheeks are unshaven and his dark pupils are down to pins from sleepless nights, he's smiling and cheerful.
"If you fall, just don't sue me," the 45-year-old deadpans as one of his assistants stretches up to a high shelf for a box of .308-caliber ammunition. "I have enough lawsuits already. You'd have to get in line."
The wisecrack hits the bull's-eye. Legal action has pretty much swallowed Pope's life. He's the only son of Generoso "Gene" Pope Jr., founder of the National Enquirer. Since the patriarch's 1988 death and the subsequent $412.5 million sale of the tabloid, the younger Pope has been in court regularly, up against an unlikely opponent: his mother, Lois.
The Palm Beach philanthropist and her son have faced off in four lawsuits. Although she declined to talk for this article, Lois Pope paints her son in legal filings as a psychotic party boy who gets litigious when his trust fund dries up. Pope counters that his mother is a spendthrift socialite who's mismanaged the family wealth. Despite the acrimony, mother and son have attended galas over the years arm-in-arm. It's a tawdry Hamlet and Gertrude staged for the supermarket checkout audience. "There's been a constant sort of battling on and off for 25 years," Pope admits.
Now, according to Pope, the curtain is up on Act Five. Charges of fraud, kidnapping, stalking, and extortion have all popped up over the past few months. Restraining orders have been filed, binders full of sleazy gossip passed around. Pope says he's ready to end the long-running squabble, hinting that he might have finally unearthed the family secrets to do so.
It seems his mother is also ready to finish it. "I want to get him out of my life forever," Lois testified in an April court hearing. "I want God to take care of him now. I want to be able to live my life in peace. I haven't had any because of him in 25 years."
The Pope story in America opens just like the Godfather trilogy: Generoso Pope Sr. arrives in New York City in 1906 and quickly hustles to the top of a Manhattan sand and gravel company. In 1928, he purchases Il Progresso Italo-Americano, the largest Italian-language paper in the country. Soon Generoso is rubbing shoulders with power players, from Franklin Roosevelt to Benito Mussolini.
But there's more than just Il Padrino. When it was time to choose a successor, Generoso tapped his youngest son, Gene, who had graduated from MIT at age 19. The scion ran the paper for a few years before his mother and brothers booted him following his father's death. The broken family never reconciled. Instead, in 1952 Gene purchased a New York daily with a $20,000 loan from a Pope clan friend, Mafia don Frank Costello.
Steering the rechristened National Enquirer, Gene arguably changed America's taste for news from Cronkite-serious to outrageously lurid. He persuaded supermarket chains to stock the tabloid in checkout aisles, and from headquarters in Lantana, he personally micromanaged coverage and sometimes tossed journalistic ethics. Whether it was paying $15,000 for Grace Kelley's last words or unleashing Elvis' autopsy details, the Enquirer didn't hold back.
Paul was born in 1967. Being the latest issue of the Pope line wasn't easy. His father was always away at work. Lois, Gene's third wife, kept a frosty distance, battling an alcohol problem and a deteriorating marriage. As he grew up in the family's oceanfront estate in Manalapan, the boy was walled off from the outside by a 24-hour security detail.
"I didn't know until I was about 7 that I was different from the other kids — always being driven by bodyguards and having kids constantly mention the newspaper to me in school," he recalls. "Was [my father] the type to go out and play ball? No. But he would be there for family gatherings and dinners. The connection started more when I started working at the paper. The paper and my dad were one."
Paul started at age 10 loading trucks at the printing plant. Later, he worked in the editorial office, watching his father dispatch investigators to solve the murder of Hogan's Heroes star Bob Crane or comb through Henry Kissinger's garbage. One day, he figured, he would call the shots.
But it didn't happen. In 1988, Gene died of a heart attack. His will stipulated that the paper should be sold. Then 21, Paul put together an investment group that came up short of the final price tag, $412.5 million. After the sale, Lois received $200 million. Her son pocketed $20 million (as did three other siblings: Lois' two daughters from a previous marriage and Gene's sister, Lorraine, who has Down syndrome). Despite the payday, Pope was crushed about losing the legacy.

The Salvation Army will continue to work with its partners (other relief agencies, emergency management at state and local levels, and other government entities) to ensure the needs of the thousands impacted by the storm are met.
Financial donations are needed to support relief efforts. The Salvation Army asks those who want to help the individual and families affected by the Ice Storm of January 2009 to visit www.salvationarmyusa.org or call 1-800-SAL-ARMY and designate Arkansas and Oklahoma Ice Storms.

BMW is generally known for making refined, elegant silhouettes – cars that combine both performance and luxury into stylish, functional roadsters. With the release of the i8 though, the German automaker lets its proverbial hair down. The sport-focused vehicle takes cues from the canon of great sports cars in the past, but more importantly, strikes a balance between sustainable energy consumption and high speed performance. All this is thanks to the 131 horsepower electric motor on the front axle, combined with the 231 horsepower in the rear. Options for charging aren't especially synonymous with the athleticism of a butterfly door system, but the BMW i8 seems to pull it off without seeming contrived. A wealth of technical info can be found on BMW's mini-site for the car, while an introductory video is featured below. [See & Watch More]
The web is filled with all sorts of information and news on the ninth generation of the Porsche 911, codenamed 991.
Well, the crew over at Kelley Blue Book made a thorough six and a half minute-long video review on the 991. They drove both the Carrera and Carrera S, with the PDK and the new 7-speed manual transmission, and they did it all on track and on open roads. Enjoy.

The Audi e-tron Spyder is being dubbed as a diesel-electric roadster, a pairing of active descriptors that further prove the advancement in automotive ingenuity.

The newest addition to the Mercedes-Benz SLK Roadster range is the 2012 SLK55 AMG. At the heart of the car is the signature drop-top and a new aluminum, naturally aspirated V8 5.5 liter power plant (415 hp and 398 lbs-ft of torque) that employs gasoline direct injection with a stop-start feature for greater fuel efficiency.
To add icing to the cake, a seven-speed Speedshift Plus 7G-Tronic automatic cog box ensures lightning fast switches. The SLK55 AMG will be available early next year. [See More]

Serafina Opens in Miami Beach
Categories: First Bites, Restaurant Opening
All photos by Laine Doss |
Colorful murals decorate Serafina's dining room. |
The restaurant, which has ten locations in Manhattan, East Hampton, White Plains, and Philadelphia in addition to outposts in Dubai, Moscow, Tokyo, and Mumbai, is owned by Vittorio Assaf and Fabio Granato, who opened their first location, a pizzeria, in New York City in 1995. The restaurants are generally well-located, colorful, and serve moderately priced pizzas and pastas. Serafina Miami is keeping with this formula. A cheery yellow Vespa at the hostess desk greets you upon arrival, and murals of wings and hands grace the walls inside.
I was invited to try out some items and was greeted by an animated server who reminded me of a recent trip to Italy. I had eaten several times at New York Serafina locations, mostly at office lunches or girl-group get-togethers, so was familiar with their pizza and pasta-centric menu. Assaf and Granato, the owners, were on hand and were quick to explain the various dishes, touting the merits of each one, as if talking about a favorite child.

The Press are Doin It ACAPELLA!
Is "Acapella" the Song of the Summer? PopDust thinks so and they aren't alone! Teen.com said they are "OB-sessed to say the very least" and Seventeen adds they simply "can't get enough!" PopCrush calls it this generation's answer to Beyonce's "Single Ladies," and compared it to The Beastie Boys saying Karmin have "perfected their pop-rap hybrid" with numerous pop culture references sure to catch kids' attention.Rolling Stone noted the duo's crossover style writing Karmin have turned "their signature mix of electro-pop and rap into an aggressive, thumping kiss-off" while Perez Hilton and Ryan Seacrest each offered additional praise saying the duo had "sweet beats and incredible vocals" and that "Acapella" is "fresh" and "different" while both applauding Amy and Nick's "signature vocals and rap production." …YEAH!

Translate this page Discovery of Disease-Carrying Rodents Prompts County Health AdvisoryThursday, February 21st, 2013 Issue 08, Volume 17.
According to the Department of Environmental Health, three deer and western harvest mice snared in January in the Norton Younglove Preserve, between San Timoteo Canyon Road and state Route 60, were confirmed as carriers of hantavirus. The pathogen can lead to a severe and potentially fatal respiratory infection in humans called hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, or HPS. County officials stopped short of issuing a health alert, saying the discovery of the infected rodents was not unusual. Thirty-one other mice netted in the same area did not test positive. Between 2002 and 2012, roughly 10 percent of rodents collected in Riverside County were found to be hantavirus carriers, officials said. Hantavirus is transmitted through rodent feces and urine. Mice do not exhibit symptoms of being sick, making identification of infected creatures difficult, according to the Department of Environmental Health. Residents are advised Advertisement -- ventilate rodent-infested places the night before cleaning them; -- apply household disinfectants liberally in rodent nesting areas; -- use rubber gloves while cleaning; -- use a mop or sponge -- not a vacuum cleaner or broom -- to clean; -- double-bag dead rodents and the waste cleared out of infested areas; and -- wash hands with gloves still on, then wash again after removing them. Warning signs of HPS include headache, fever, muscle aches, vomiting and abdominal pain. If untreated, respiratory failure can ensue. Fifty-six hantavirus cases have been reported in California -- though none in Riverside County -- since 1980. Twenty were fatal. One of the worst- known cases of an outbreak occurred in the Four Corners region of the desert southwest in 1993. More than 30 people died over the course of a year. Anyone with questions or concerns can contact the Department of Environmental Health at (951) 766-9454. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

EUGENE, Ore. — Making the Olympic Team is an unforgettable moment and one that a local florist got to be a part of each and every time.
Dandelions Flowers and Gifts in Eugene is a little shop that was chosen to do the important task of making the 120 bouquets handed to each athlete as they became a 2012 Olympian.
Each bouquet was made up of about seven different plants such as locally-grown Ribbon Grass and Oregon Bear Grass all in gold and green colors that were tied together with a bright blue ribbon.
Florists said the arrangement truly represented the event. And more importantly, it represented the city and state where these winning moments had taken place.
"The bouquets are the final launch to London. So those people who get to take that bouquet and lift it up, they're on their way. And so that's a very exciting moment and we know it is for the athletes, too. So it's fun to know that something we touched is going to touch those Olympians," said owner Shirley Lyons.
Florists said it was a busy couple of weeks but worth it to be a part of such an unforgettable event.
Lyons said this is actually their second time making these special bouquets. They also made them back in 2008 and are honored to continue being a part of the experience.

Oops, something didn't work.
Thanks for the lessons. You don't know how much this is helping me at my current job. You just been bookmarked!
Thanks again!
I really wanna thank you for this awesome contribution. ;)
Thanks Bob for sharing your talent!...
Perfect lessons, great job thanks!
You didnt use hgroup tag for your h tags in your lesson 6 example!
So far I haven't learned a lot about technical HTML 5 stuff. But learned a lot so far about the semantics! I thought I was a tidy coder, until now. You have a lot of knowledge about html and open up a new side to webpages and html that I never knew really existed. I agree, maybe in the near future semantics will play a big role with how the browser renders pages!
@Jerome: re: hgroup ... it's been cut from the HTML5 spec:
... and from reading about it I got the sense that it wasn't going to last (I couldn't see the SEMANTIC value in it ... seemed like an extra hook for CSS ... seems like others agreed).
Glad the videos had some value to you! Good luck!
Thanks Bob .. thank you very much..

Thanksgiving dinner is different for every family. Bu there are a few holiday staples that seem to be found on almost every table. What is your favorite Thanksgiving dish?
The holiday season is upon us and seems to start earlier every year. When is the proper time to put up the Christmas tree? When do you put yours up?
We all need money to survive. And we tend to blow it on some really awesome, or really stupid, stuff. Tell us what you blow your money on in this poll!
Think about it--- a gas pipe leak, fire, natural disaster (tornado, volcano, great aunt Irene visits)---you only have a few minutes to get out of the house. Do you make a run for it? Grab valuables as you leave the house? Or do you have your kitty carrier and dog leash stationed in such a way that your pet is the first thing you get?
We've heard it in the news recently: bison and other wildlife are fleeing the area. Roads surrounding the National Park are melting. The Geyser is going off more frequently. Infra-red lasers are seeing hotter temperatures bubbling beneath the surface.
But how long have we heard it? Ages?
Do you think the pending yellowstone volcano eruption is a hoax?
With the first day of school approaching for most families, we know you've secretly been looking forward to it. That moment when the kids aren't home. You've got extra time on your hands. The noise level decreases in your house.
