Help Equality Ohio Win $25,000! EO to Deliver 80,000 Petitions DALN and NewLeaf Columbus 5th Annual Allies for Equality Trans* Day of Remembrance Volunteer Spotlight
upcoming events:
Help Equality Ohio Win $25,000!
Equality Ohio is working with 9 of our partners to win funding in the Chase Community Giving contest. Equality Ohio could win $25,000 alone, and a quarter million dollars could go to statewide equality organizations to help fight for LGBT equality. Vote for our slate today by visiting this webpage!
EO to Deliver 80,000 Petitions and Host Town Hall
In late October a 15-year-old teenager was severely beaten in his high school class room for being gay. The attack occurred at Unioto High School in Chillicothe, Ohio, and was caught on camera as fellow class members watched one teen wait for the victim to enter the room, push him to the ground and continually punch him in the face. On November 16th, representatives from Equality Ohio will be delivering over 80,000 petitions to the school district's superintendent urging the district to protect LGBT students. Later that evening, Equality Ohio is hosting a town hall that will feature a moderated panel discussion about Bullying in Ross County. Click here for more details.
DALN & NewLeaf Columbus
The Digital Archives of Literacy Narratives (DALN) is proud to partner with NewLeaf Columbus and Equality Ohio for an amazing narrative collection event! The DALN is a publicly available archive of personal literacy narratives in a variety of formats (text, video, audio) that provide a historical record of the literacy practices and values of contributors. The DALN is committed to collecting the narratives of a wide-range of people, with a desire to capture the experiences of minority and marginalized communities. The DALN is partnering with NewLeaf and Equality Ohio to collect your stories on Saturday, November 19th, from 1 pm to 4pm. Come share your story!
5th Annual Allies for Equality
Equality Ohio's annual Allies for Equality event honors an individual who has provided leadership and commitment to our vision of an Ohio where everyone can feel at home. This year the Equality Ohio Education Fund board and our Honorary Event Chairs, Rocky & Suzy Saxbe and Jim Elliott & John Behal acknowledge the work of Loann Crane, who has tirelessly and passionately advocated for the LGBT community. We will gather from 6pm to 8pm on December 7th at the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in the Palm House. Past recipients of the Allies for Equality award include Janet Jackson, Mary Jo Hudson, State Representatives Dan Stewart & Ross McGregor, and Barbara Klass Sokol. Tickets are $100. Click here to register.
Trans* Day of Remembrance
The Trans* Day of Remembrance is held in November each year to memorialize those who were killed because of anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. Although not every person represented during the Day of Remembrance self-identified as trans*, each was a victim of violence based on bias or prejudice against transgender people. Below is a listing of events being held around the state. Equality Ohio encourages you to attend and show your support to our transgender and gender non-conforming community members. Events are being held in Columbus, Cincinnatti, Cleveland, and Dayton.
Volunteer Spotlight
The reason I come to Volunteer night is because I believe in an Ohio where everyone is free to be, free to love, free to work, and free to live. As someone who was bullied in school I believe it's my duty to make things easier for the next generation. I volunteer for EO because it's an organization that doesn't just talk about doing something we do it. Volunteering isn't something at EO that is burdensome-- it's an evening with friends that makes a difference for LGBTQ in Ohio. That's why I volunteer.
Everyone deserves to feel at home in Ohio.

The Humble Brag: Link Party #13
Posted By Jocie On December 28, 2012 @ 12:00 am In Link Party,The Better Half | 14 Comments
Merry Christmas! Hope you had a wonderful holiday full of rest and family. We had a wonderful time and continue to celebrate with family from out of town and will have another big Christmas celebration tomorrow with my extended family.
I know Christmas is over but I am still having a blast listening to Christmas music and am refusing to take down my Christmas decorations until at LEAST after New Years! haha
Last week, we teamed up with several other blogs including Happy Hour Projects [1] and The Grant Life [2] to support Sandy Hook area. For each project or recipe linked up, $1 was donated to Western Connecticut United Way [3]. In total, there were 830 links – making that $830 donated! YAY! OPC and The Better Half donated $250 of that.
Our features were from the special Sandy Hook link party and all of our linked up projects were brag-worthy, for sure, but here are a few that spoke to me!
Angie from Little Inspiration [4] shares her Peppermint Cake Pops! Oh man, do these look amazing!
Brittney from Smart Girl Style [5] shares her tutorial for a Ombre Rushed Duvet Cover. My nieces would love this but I'm not sure my sewing skills are there yet. So for now, it goes on my list.
Everybody loves a Pottery Barn knock-off, right? Check out this Faux Mercury Glass Ornament by Jill from Create. Craft. Love [6]. I sooo love this!
Lish from Imprintalish [7] shares her super cute framed ornaments. I don't know where I would put this, but I totally want to make one for next year! Plus, its such a simple and easy idea.
As you may have heard, I got a Silhouette Cameo for Christmas and love how Danielle from Two Little Superheroes [8] used hers to make Star Wars Snowflakes! How cool!
Vixen Made [9] shares her precious DIY ruffle shirt that my girls would just go crazy for! Plus, it is more on my sewing level. I love the touch of lace, especially.
You may have seen that I shared this on FB a few weeks ago when Keri from Shaken Together [10] originally posted it, but these Hot Chocolate Floats look so delicious, I had to share it again!
Last but not least, Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mama [11] shares her unique and yummy take on Holiday bark. It not the traditional chocolate and peppermint but it is healthier and so pretty!
Every week, we choose one link at random to receive free ad space for one week! This week, our ad winner was chosen at random using random.org [12]. Out of 830 entries, number 312 was chosen – Creat E Witty [13] and her crochet doily! Thanks so much for linking up and supporting a good cause.
The Humble Brag is all about encouraging one another in our pursuits (and sometimes even fails). We're excited to see what you have been up to in your crafting/DIY world. We also welcome recipes and other projects. I will be visiting each and every link over the coming day or two, so bring it on!
We ask that you:
Make sure to check back next week to see if your project has been featured and thanks for sharing.
I am in the process of planning a holiday party for bloggers in the Baltimore area and would love to check out your favorite party foods and signature drinks. So this week there will be two sections to link up – Party Food & Drinks and Anything Goes…meaning, any other projects or recipes you would like to share!
Remember, please post a button or text link back to our party somewhere in your original post. We hope you also take the time to click on one or two other party-goers projects and give some encouragement.

Tested by the Good Housekeeping Research Institute
Sprint LG Marquee
Product Review
About GHRI Ratings
XGood Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.
Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.
Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.
Attractive and sleek, the Sprint LG Marquee is light on the frills. The LG overlay lets users keep customized folders for applications, and the phone offers Sprint ID customization. Its 5-megapixel camera delivers good-quality shots and contains a solid collection of settings, including scene modes, white balance effects, focus options, and face tracking (although panorama is notably absent). Video quality doesnt fare as well, though. The phone can serve as a mobile hotspot for up to five devices. Consumer testers commented that it was easy to use for typing, texting, e-mailing, and navigating the Web. Its design was thin and light, if a little big.

Hey guys, this was just one loss, on the road, without our starting PG for the most part... For me it would have been easier to swallow if they didn't scratch and claw their way back to within 4 to start the 4th quarter, only to go into an immediate double-digit hole. Oh well... I thought Rip forced way too many shots as well, but Tayshaun had a great game. Who cares if he doesn't feed the post to anybody other than Sheed? He's shooting great these playoffs and seems to consistently get himself a good look. What seemed strange to me was at one point in the game we had Ratliff, Herrmann and Hayes on the floor at the same time. I don't see how that was going to help us put points on the board. Ratliff absolutely will not look to shoot (so the D can cheat off of him), and it seemed that after Howard completely stuffed Herrmann's weak finger roll he wouldn't shoot again. Speaking of Howard, he completely altered more shots than the 6 he blocked last night. I remember one play where a guard (Hamilton or Stuckey) drove in, dished to an open McDyess (I think) who was in great position under the basket, but who then dished again out of the paint rather than risk being blocked. Go up strong with both hands and force the issue, please! Not to throw fuel on the Amir fire, but didn't he give up an open 3 to Rashard Lewis on the first defensive possession after he checked in? I get excited to see him come in, too, but IMO he's not ready for the playoffs this year.
Amir did get a three thrown in his face but it was his first possession in. I would like to think that it might be possible for AJ to at least alter a few shots if he got a chance to get in? It would have to be better then the Lay up line that Turkeyglue is running?
I was kind of proud of the fellas last night. They fought hard. Orlando was getting a lot of calls. It is when the fouls are called rather then the total calls. I thought Herrrrrrman played well. The trio of he, AA and Stuckey looked good together. It would have been nice if this wasn't the first time they had played together with more than 45 seconds remaining in a game. It was pretty evident that they had no idea what each other were going to do. I think something should be done about this. The league should make the season longer so a coach has a chance to tinker with line-ups etc. Unfortunately, this game was a reminder that DET is not greater than the sum of their parts. When Billups went down, it wasn't a problem. They simply [STRIKE]went small[/STRIKE] did nothing and kept chugging. What is the point of stocking your roster with combo guards when you only allow them to play one position? Anyone else remember Dixon coming onboard and Flip saying over and over that he is a 2 not a PG after playing well at the point in LA? Anyone think that is detrimental to the team when they get in this situation rather than playing guys in different spots and seeing what works? If Billups doesn't play G4, it might be time to beef up the servers for this site. I am guessing that Amir will not dress if that is the case. Amir would not help guarding out on the perimeter. Wasn't AA lauded in the papers for his D on Lewis in the regular season? Stuckey is going to get someone killed in the stands if he keeps driving to the hoop.
Take my word, Billups is not going to play next game, not even game 5 either. A strained hamstring takes time to heal... of course it depends on the size of the injury after the overstretch. I think that, at least, he is going to be out 5 days from now on... it could be as worse as 40 days out. What a good timing. I thought the basketball players were able to do that. I mean, its really useful to know that kind of stretching. I guess I was wrong =/. Talking about the game... it seemed that when we play the right way, we're just 4 points down to Orlando's starters without our main guy. I liked Herrmann (he's still playing with a practice rhythm, a slow pace). And we need Rasheed to step up, for gods sake.
Yup. This is from a 1989 article in the New York Times: Here's the fun part: From what we've seen so far, it looks like Chauncey's injury may not as bad as what these guys had. :fingerscr
I agree. Leave him in a suit until we get back to Detroit. Give Arnie the time and let him come back when the team comes back to the D. Use him sparingly in that game if possible. Give Stuckey the green flag to run and to drive the lane. I think he needs to know from the coach that breaking down the D and drawing fouls is as good as points.
You should care because in order to achieve the winning part, it DOES matter who plays. Our bench is fine. Our rotations suck. Even our rotations of the starters suck. There's no accountabilty for getting the best possible shot or passing to the open man either/
This is the main problem with our offense. The defense knows exactly who to key in on, and we never punish them for overplaying b/c we don't pass 3/4 of the time anyway.
When Rip is on the floor with the bench he thinks he has to do it on his own. It is terrible. It can't be that he doesn't have confidence in them because he has seen what they can do. Watching him plow into the middle of the lane and flop around like a fish out of water while the rest of the team waits for the pass is killing me. He is not Kobe or Bron and the sooner he realizes he needs his teammates as much they need him; the sooner we can move on to our next victim. It is not rocket science. Move the ball until you get an open, high percentage shot. Tay and Rip backing their man into the paint is NOT moving the ball!!!! :nerd2:
I thought Tay was doing a pretty good job with those isolations yesterday. We ran the play about 5 times straight at one point. The shots looked tough, but he was making them. Also, Turkoglu was 1-7 in the 2nd quarter and only had 1 rebound with Herrmann guarding him. Until garbage time, Herrmann was +1.
i agree, i don't mind tay posting up constantly - he either gets a high percentage shot or draws an extra defender and hits one of our guys for an open look
We need Billips back, period. In the meantime: They started to jam our offense up as far back as game 2. As usual, there does not seem to be an adjustment. We couldn't score at key times in game 3. They only have one big. There should be plenty of room on the floor to get open looks or drive. Yes, we may as well turn Stuckey loose. But I have seen him blocked at least a few times in this series down low. At this stage of this career, he is not a star. He will have to learn quickly. The defense has been atrocious since the second half of game 2. They are doing what they want. Howard is not that developed offensively. Certainly not enough to let them have open threes. To win without Billips, we will have to attack their offense with a defensive force. Sheed should get more time on Howard. Their guards need to be challenged, especially by the second unit. I mean scout this team. Jameer usually goes right. Hedo loves to go left. We will only prevail if we can step up and shut them down.
PopcornMachine's GameFlow - DET @ ORL See if you can tell. I'm guessing Tay, but what stands out to me is Rashard abusing Hayes... and everyone else. One thing that I am noticing is that most of their 3-point attempts are not coming from us double teaming Howard or their guards driving and dishing. It seems to me that most of it is off of chaos (semi fast breaks, offensive rebounds, etc.) and just plain pick setting on the perimeter.

But Morillo doesn't produce the cheesy trance shit you hear on car commercials. His music is deep, dark, funky, pulsating house. It is throbbing with bass, and tsunamilike in its onslaught of high-speed beats per minute. It is brazenly sexual, the sound of pure lust, meant to whip dancers into a frenzy.
When Morillo takes to the decks, his sets can last two to ten hours or more. He scratches and cuts records like a turntablist, expertly blending them into a steady and hypnotic bass metronome.
"It's about telling a story with your music," says Morillo during an interview at the label he owns, Subliminal Records, in Manhattan. But the 33-year-old usually prefers spinning longer sets, since that allows him to play more records. For example, he explains, "If I want to play [Guns 'n Roses] 'Welcome To the Jungle,' how do I build it up to that record so I have a three or four record story leading up to that record? If I'm going to play a big rock record, I can build up and play a couple of records that have rock influences and then get to that record. I can set up it better. Whereas if I'm doing a two-hour set, I'm dropping that record, and then I'm dropping the next big record I want to play."
Morillo owns houses in Weehawken, New Jersey and Ibiza, and recently purchased a third home in Miami Beach. He won't say how much money he charges per performance. "I make millions a year. I don't like to put a number on it," he says. He stays busy, spinning all over the world on most weekends (Thursdays through Sundays) and holding down a summer residency at Pacha Ibiza on the famed European vacation island. "I haven't had a weekend off since May," he says.
Then there's his label. Launched in 1997 with frequent production partners Harry "Choo Choo" Romero and Jose Nunez, Subliminal has issued more than a hundred releases, from Morillo's own material to dance hits such as Who Da Funk's "Shiny Disco Balls."
On January 24, Subliminal Records is scheduled to drop The 2 Sides of Erick Morillo, an omnibus four-disc set that illustrates the epic lifestyle Morillo leads. It combines two albums originally put out in Europe this past fall, My World and the two-disc mix compilation Subliminal Winter Sessions Vol. 2, and a third, previously unreleased addendum to the Winter Sessions.
My World, the first album of original material to appear under Morillo's own name, is as flashy, swaggering, and overwhelming as the twilight world he inhabits. Interspersed between the fourteen tracks are ribald skits that are funny and outrageous: Morillo playing congas to the sound of a woman having an orgasm. Harry Romero's brother Sheldon joking, "I just saw Erick Morillo walk out of the club with two hot strippers ... all I know is when I die, I want to come back as his dick."
"That's a friend of mine," laughs Morillo when asked about the latter skit. "All the interludes are more jokes than anything else.
"My world is the world of a workaholic who likes to have fun. I believe there's time for everything," he continues, more seriously. "My life is divided into two areas. One is, obviously, the jet-setting DJ who travels the world, bringing house music to the world and doing really well at that. The other side is the guy who sits in the studio and loves bringing music."
Guest stars abound on My World: Boy George sings on one of the cuts, "Who Am I?", while the Audio Bullys chant romper-room choruses on "Break Down the Doors," "Sunshine" and "Lessons." Even P. Diddy appears on three tracks, including the bulbous tribal anthem, "My World." "You're in my world," says Diddy. "Let's rock!"
Miami club kids are well aware of Diddy's ongoing collaboration with Morillo: He has appeared at Morillo's Subliminal Sessions for the past two editions of Winter Music Conference. "We actually met at Ibiza," says Morillo, adding that he's producing two tracks for Diddy's upcoming dance album. "Before I met him, I thought I was one of the hardest-working people in this business. After I met him, I realized I have a long way to go," he adds, laughing.
The money, the accolades, and the collabos with P. Diddy are proof that Morillo is a major player in the global house underground. So why does his name barely register in the mainstream, if at all? In America, dance music is considered background music, something people listen to while partying in meat-market nightclubs. Little attention is paid to the actual tracks, the people who produce it, or the DJs who spin it.
The other reason, as Morillo explains, is that Europe "has a clubbing culture, they have a dance culture. Whereas here in America, we have a hip-hop culture, and that's what you see in the streets." A recent track by Diddy is proof: While his 2003 debut dance single with Kelis, "Let's Get Ill," charted in the Top 30 of the U.K. singles chart, it wasn't played on mainstream radio here. "It's not strange to see your favorite dance record with a video on MTV in England," adds Morillo.

The editors here have said that some things are better left alone. I disagree. I visited this almost unknown tourist attraction a couple of years ago. While the external finish is a bit on the odd side, the huge statue of Athena Parthenos inside is worth the price of admission. Nashville may consider itself the Athens of the South. I don't think Athens considers itself the Nashville of Greece. However, this exhibit has more to offer than just the odd gravel finish on the columns. There is something about the Parthenon that expresses the true spirit of Nashville. You can figure that out for yourself. report a problem

Airport News
Football fans give Manchester Airport its "busiest day of the year"
Tue, 26 May, 2009
Football fans are set to make today (May 26th) Manchester Airport's "busiest" of the year.
Officials at the hub are expecting more than 20,000 additional passengers, due to tomorrow's (May 27th) UEFA Champions League Final in Rome.
Manchester United are playing FC Barcelona in the game, which is one of the biggest on the annual soccer calendar.
A total of 44 additional flights are being laid on over the two-day period.
Bosses are also reminding customers to be aware of security procedures restrictions mean they are only allowed to take 100 mls or less of gels, pastes and liquids on board.
Managing director of the airport Andrew Cornish said staff are "working hard" to make sure the period goes smoothly.
"We will be working closely with the airlines over the next days to meet the demand for flights and are committed to making the fans' journey as simple and enjoyable as possible," he added.
Those choosing to drive to the facility are advised there are a number of airport parking options available - including long and short-stay and valet.

Diabetes management software
Diabetes Management Software refers to software tools that run on personal computers and personal digital assistants to help persons with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes manage the data associated with:
- blood test results from a glucose meter
- diabetes logbooks
- basal and bolus settings for an insulin pump
- records of actual insulin delivery
- records of carbohydrates eaten and bolused to cover
- statistical evaluation
- manual log entries for exercise and other factors
- coaching of dose corrections
- prediction of future blood sugars, etc.
Features and uses[edit]
There are many products available to help maintain records and analyze trends related to diabetes care. Some support a single diabetes tool such as one manufacturers glucose meter,[1] while others are intended to interface with many manufacturers products.[2] Some diabetes management software is free to download or can be used on-line, while others are for sale (or shareware). Some are simple and easy to use for a single user, while others have very powerful features that support many users in a clinical setting.[3] The emergence of user-friendly mobile devices has resulted in renewed interest in diabetes mobile applications, and there is a 2011 review article of the currently available features compared against evidence-based recommendations for diabetes self-management.[4]
Depending on the product selected, there are a variety of features which include:
- summary tables or diabetes logbook data that can be:
- imported from multiple sources,
- viewed on the screen,
- saved and archived for personal use,
- printed, faxed, emailed or shared online with your diabetes care team.
- charts to analyze:
- visualization of repeating patterns,
- blood glucose trends for evaluation of
- compliance with goals, and
- consideration for new insulin adjustments, and
- future predictions of blood glucose levels,
- control screens for:
- insulin pump setup and control,
- continuous blood glucose monitoring setup and control.
Example 1 shows a logbook can combine readings from multiple meters (such as one at home and another at work or school) in one place. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner readings are lined up vertically to help look for trends. The logbook automatically colors the box red for a low blood sugar, and blue for a high blood sugar. In the example chart, a pattern is easy to visualize: mornings tend to be a bit high (more insulin is needed at night) and there is a pattern of lows occurring after dinner (perhaps dinner insulin or the afternoon basal rates could be turned down).
Standard day data plots[edit]
The Standard day data plots, see example 2, shows that trends are easy to see. The blood glucose readings are plotted at their level versus the time of day. Multiple days are plotted on top of each other, creating a scatter of points. In the example shown, it is easy to see the glycemic excursions to high blood sugars following breakfast and lunch. Once identified, this can be improved by using a faster acting insulin, or injecting insulin 20 minutes before eating, or by selecting carbohydrates to eat that are slower to peak in the bloodstream.
Pie charts[edit]
Example 3 shows that pie charts are a quick way to judge performance of insulin doses throughout the day relative to the goal of keeping 75% of premeal blood glucose readings within boundaries. Sub-charts automatically break down to breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late night, as well as show pre-meal versus post-meal statistics. In the example pie chart shown, it appears there is an opportunity to improve morning lows and afternoon highs with insulin adjustments.
Daily views[edit]
Example 4 evaluates the delivery from an insulin pump, showing blood glucose plots along the top, carbohydrates eaten (bubbles in the middle of the chart), basal and bolus insulin delivered at the bottom. This is a good example of the flexibility in lifestyle afforded to an insulin pump user as carbohydrates are not "scheduled" to match insulin profiles, and yet the glycemic excursions are well controlled. In this chart, it is also easy to see that the pump user had a meal at 3pm but forgot to test blood glucose beforehand.
Basal pattern control[edit]
Example 5 shows a control screen for basal delivery from an insulin pump. Time of day and basal rate in units per hour can be modified to create a custom basal rate pattern to match the insulin needs of the pump user. Icons are shown which save or read data from the PC, or to upload and download it from the pump.
Bolus control[edit]
Example 6 shows bolus control on this screen. The insulin to carbohydrate ratio is stored in the pump as a function of the meal eaten (time of day). This screen selects grams of carbohydrate as the input parameter from the user, such that the pump can calculate the insulin bolus desired from the grams entered and the insulin to carb ratio that is stored.
Example 7 shows a data plot from a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS). This plot shows the blood sugar levels between meals and also during the night, when other BG testing methods using a finger prick sample would typically miss the data available between samples. CGMS data is a new technology that it intended to give immediate feedback between finger sticks and also predict (by extrapolation) what may be happening soon to give the diabetic person a chance to correct a high or low blood sugar condition before it becomes urgent. This curve also illustrates the dawn effect.
Example 8 shows a data plot from a continuous glucose prediction system (CGPS). This plot shows the blood sugar levels between meals and also during the night, when other BG testing methods using a finger prick sample would typically miss the data available between samples. CGPS is a new technology that it intended to give immediate feedback between finger sticks and also predict what may be happening soon to give the person with diabetes a chance to correct a high or low blood sugar condition before it becomes urgent.
Diabetes Management Systems[edit]
Diabetes management system (DMS) is designed for hospitals and healthcare providers with the intention of preventing or delaying the short and long term complications caused by Diabetes. A doctor defines a treatment plan for a diabetic based on his diabetes type, age, sex etc. factors. The software, then, sends reminders to patients to ensure better compliance with the treatment plan. Once the patients, undergo tests, the data is captured in the system. Doctors, can then, view the progress of individual patient and take necessary interventions, if needed.

Always... can't be called a vanity project, exactly. The title role is played by relative newcomer Rachel Lynn Ricca, a charismatic cabaret singer who, wig on head, bears a striking resemblance to Cline. Struthers plays Louise, a housewife who becomes friends with the musician after a chance meeting in Houston in 1961. This production came into being after several Playhouse board members worked with the actresses on a Broadway tryout in 1997. The result? Well, there are worse things to do than listen to Patsy Cline's music for two hours. Nonetheless, nothing Struthers does on stage is likely to convince anyone that her range goes far beyond the demands of playing Gloria Stivic.
Most damning is the actress' refusal to take charge of the show. It may be difficult to compete with a costar who belts out Cline's hits and other country standards with a voice like a velvet ax. Ricca doesn't reinvent Cline in the manner of k.d. lang, but with every chestful of air, she powerfully conjures up the memory of Cline's gorgeous and baroque vocal mannerisms.
The show is designed to showcase Cline favorites, from "Crazy" and "Walkin' After Midnight" to less well-known covers of Hank Williams and Bill Monroe songs, and Michael Larsen's musical direction is almost always sure of itself. Still, the love affair between fan and star cuts as deep as any other relationship, and Always... is supposed to be Louise's story. This Louise, however, hangs on the sidelines, letting the audience experience her idol's power without ever letting us see its deep effect on her.
Based on the real-life story of a woman who befriended Cline, Always... opens with the singer performing three songs in succession -- "Honky Tonk Merry Go Round," "Back in Baby's Arms," and "Anytime" -- on a Grand Ol' Opry set. (The live music is played on stage by a likable quartet dubbed the Bodacious Bobcat's Band.) Midway through "Anytime," a pallet rolls on stage bearing Louise and the set that represents her kitchen. Directly addressing the audience, Louise tells us about the first time she heard the singer, on an Arthur Godfrey show, which her children were watching on TV in the other room one day in 1957. Or as she puts it, "I was subconsciously listening to the television."
I'm not sure what Freud would make of that remark, but what we learn is that from that day forward, Louise was hooked. Cline, however, wasn't yet the superstar she soon would be. She dropped out of sight temporarily, and Louise doesn't encounter her again until 1961, when she hears "I Fall to Pieces" on the radio (again, by listening "subconsciously"). By this time Louise is divorced, a happy liberation Struthers indicates by kicking up her heels in what's to become Louise's signature gesture. She also speaks in a raspy voice that bears an eerie resemblance to that of another high-profile Texan, Bobby from the animated sitcom King of the Hill.
The actress may indeed be playing a high-spirited, beer-lovin' Houston housewife in the days before Slim-Fast was invented, but there's something slightly off about Louise's appearance. It's not only that Struthers is overweight -- although, thanks to her outfit of oversize black country and western shirt atop black leggings and cowboy boots, we see a lot more of her large rear end than we really want. With her well-coifed helmet of a hairdo, Struthers seems to be fighting the notion that she's supposed to be less than glamorous. Louise is an ordinary person. Struthers is portraying a star disguised as a mortal, and the effect is silly. She plays to the audience, which is fine for those who want an up-close glimpse of an Emmy-winning TV actress, but the effort keeps us from getting lost in the story.
Always... is told in flashbacks as Louise recounts her one meeting with Cline before a show at Houston's famous Esquire Ballroom (a gigantic dance hall the size of several football fields, according to Louise). Having arrived early, Louise notices a woman checking out the room and realizes it's the singer. She introduces herself to the down-to-earth Cline, and the two share a beer. In a scene that poignantly comments on Cline's naivete, Louise helps Patsy negotiate with the Ballroom management and gets them to agree to two short sets rather than one backbreaking four-hour ordeal. She takes the singer home for a midnight breakfast after the show and gets her an interview at a radio station the next morning. By the time Cline leaves town, the two are bosom buddies.

McLarens Jenson Button sprang something of a surprise in Q1 in New Delhi when he topped the timesheets. The Briton was quick again in Q2, but in Q3 he had to settle for tenth place, albeit on the slower but more durable medium tyres. Afterwards he talked to reporters about his day and about his feelings on racing in India
Q: How satisfied were you with your todays qualifying?
Jenson Button: The run on the option tyres in Q1 was very good, as I was fastest then, and also in Q2 running on the old tyre I think I was second. So that looked very promising. In Q3 then I was on the option tyre and just could not get any temperature into it. Already in the first sector I was half a second off other people on their primes. In general we said that we wanted to at least reach Q3, which we have done. To start with prime tyres might give us an advantage tomorrow at the beginning of the race, but I am sure that whoever we are able to overtake, we might see them again at some point of time during the race.
Q: It looks like Sebastian Vettel could wrap up the drivers championship here in India, but for the spectators it would have been more exciting to have this decided at the last race. How do you see this from a drivers point of view?
JB: I am driving a Formula One car, which is one of the most exciting things on earth, and I havent really thought about the drivers championship lately. This is the place where you give the maximum, no matter where you are on the grid. I love fighting with other drivers on the track. It only kicks in when you step out of the car and you see how far behind you are from the leader. We as a team are working flat out to do our best in getting the most out of our car and to put on a great show for everyone at the track and in front of the TV screens. For anyone to win four world titles is pretty special, well done. He has done a great job, as have his team that has delivered a great car. Lets hope that the new regulations for next year help not only us, but also other teams to challenge Sebastian and Red Bull for the title.
Q: What is your favourite part of this circuit?
JB: For sure the high-speed section. The middle section is pretty tough with turns five through nine, where it goes non-stop. In general I like the circuit as it has a real good flow, and I am sure also most of the other drivers like it. Of course, it is a shame that after only three years we will not come here next year, but lets hope that there might be a chance to come back here again sometime.
Q: What do you think about India as a country?
JB: It is a very exciting place and I love India, and I give tribute to Formula One for bringing us here, as for me it was the first time coming here with the race. It is very different to all the other countries that I have been to, and Im very happy that I am not driving outside of the track myself (laughs). Once sitting in the car after landing in New Delhi I pretty much closed my eyes on the back seat. It is quite a surprise when you see a pushbike, a truck and a cow heading towards you on your lane with a tractor crossing!
Q: Next year we might see even more than one teenager on the grid; do you think that a driver that young is ready for Formula One?
JB: If I compare it with myself coming to Formula One at the age of 20 in 2000, I can only say that I was nowhere near ready. Of course I had to take the opportunity, as I did not know if it would ever come up again. So you are in a very difficult position being that young, as basically you have to take that opportunity. When I think back, it was so very difficult for me from the point where I did not have a competitive car, as I was not really able to set it up. The truth is that you have to do so much work out of the car, before you can get in and drive or even think about racing it. You have several hundred people working around the car that will listen to you and your comments and that are depending on you to build and develop a competitive racing car. For me the best way for a young driver is to have a good career in lower formulas and spend time at a Formula One team to experience what a Formula One driver has to go through every racing weekend.

Alabama BCS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME vs Notre Dame

Had quite a bit of return mail from my post: "Who Exactly...Is The Idiot Here?" Seems that a lot of folks don't take kindly to saying good things about Phillies President David Montgomery.
Some people--especially those who listen to Cataldi in the morning and Howard in the afternoon--are ax gridners, soothsayers, have 20-20 hindsight vision too, and are moaners, weepers, bloggers and all around 'unhappy with their lifers.' I call the two the CIA, Cataldi and Iskin on the Airways, even through Erskin spells his last name with an E, but who cares?
The listeners? Car insurance cavemen, if you will.
Now I've beel listening to Cataldi and Howard. Not because I like to...or I expect to learn anything from it, but since I've worked at universities all my professional life, I know about research and theories. So I'm doing research listening to those two bozos.
And I've developed this theory, it's called the Theory of Regurgiatation. Here's how it works. Cataldi in the am repeats and repeats how the Phillies will never win with Montgomery and the current ownership. Then Howard picks up in the afternoon and says the same thing. Like we are all stupid and don't know the two nitwits worked this out together.
The cavemen listening call in and repeat their proclamations, only in different words. If they didn't, the CIA would cut them right off. But when they regurgiatate, they are left on the air until it's time for the next commercial.
For example:
"Howard, I want to say that I think it's unfair that you are calling the Phillies cheapskates." The reply: "Listen genius, if you bad half a brain, you'd know that blah, blah, blah..." And it is highly unlikely that the caller get's a rebuttal. He's simply cut off. Or,
"Howard, I want to talk about how cheap Montgomery is and that's why the Phillies stink." Reply: "Go ahead, I'm listening, how are they cheap?"
The CIA wants to be right all the time, and, they draw more caveman listeners if they promote critisim, even if it's not warrented. The also like to humor the caveman listeners by mimicking and making fun of.
So, the bloggers who I hear from? Think for yourselves. Don't regurgiate.
Last night, my wife and I were at the beautiful park and watched a very good, exciting Phillies team take apart Pittsburgh, with Clutch Coste back from Moose Country, doing what he does best. When he hit that three run dinger, they heard it in Germantown.
Hey Dave Montgomery...thanks for last night.
I do not listen to Cataldi, Eskin and their band of mindless morons. Cataldi and Eskin pick on particular scape goats that are popular targets...Dave Montgomery and Pat Burrell, for starters.
And I don't think the Phils are cheap, either, nor would I say they stink... quite the contrary. They are SO CLOSE to the playoffs, just like they've been for the past three seasons!
In terms of success, the Phils have rebuilt their farm system and have made EXCELLENT progress in player development. Kenrick,Hamel, Victorino, Utley and Howard are wonderful examples. They are success stories.
But for the past three years, the Phils are just missing the playoffs. They are one or two key players or wins away. This is where your GM comes in, and the value of free agency and trades.
And THIS is where a change is needed and why we could be in for another 'close but no cigar' finish.
Name one player still on the roster from trading away All-Stars Abreu, Polanco and Bell... I can't. Trades of All-Stars should bring value to the team and provide impact players. This didn't happen in any of those cases.
And you can't call the Phils cheap... they lavished lots of money on Garcia, Gordon, Bell and Lieber, just to name a few. And each one had injury problems and came to us as damaged goods. That's wasted money.
Gordon admits his shoulder problems begun in the '05 season with the Yankees. Bell had a history of back problems before he came here as well. And Garcia, how in the world did that guy pass his physical?
This is where the players aren't failing, the management is. And it's the GM's job via free agency/trades and the farm system to provide. Our free agents haven't delivered. Barajas, Garcia, Lieber and Helms have disappointed. (The jury's still out on Adam Eaton). We didn't acquire talent that could make an impact in trades of All-Star players.
I follow the Yankees... names that should never be mentioned are coming up in trade rumors. Names like Victorino and Bourne, for starters. Is it wise to trade away our future for a guy like Kyle Farnsworth? Will it make an immediate impact and put us in the playoffs, or are we just losing young talent to once again be an also ran?
Aaron Rowand is frequently mentioned trade bait with the emergence of Michael Bourne. Aaron Rowand is an All-Star hitting .330 (or around that). If we trade away a valuable cog to our lineup, are we going to get a player of comparable value?
The Phils have the highest offensive production in the league. They have players with bright futures. But do they have all the pieces in place to get into the playoffs?
That is the GM's job, and Gillick, IMO, hasn't been able to provide that missing piece of the puzzle the past two seasons. If the Phils do not make the playoffs this year, it's not that they didn't do their jobs, it's Gillick that will have failed. Strike THREE.
The good news is, if Gillick fails, they have a good, young GM in their organization. He's Asst. GM Ruben Amaro, who personally I would have rather seen hired to do the job than Gillick. He's a former player, a former Phil, his father spent over 35 years in the organization as a player and a scout. He's also a bright guy... a Stanford graduate. He's grown up in the Phils organization and is smart to boot.
The players are doing their part (for the most part). We'll know if Gillick did his job in October.

Hi... figured this is a good place to ask...
Who is this Lohse guy the Phils just acquired? An ERA over 4, 6 -12 record, but looks like an inning eater?
Posted by: JJ | July 30, 2007 10:10 PM
good article ron. i have banned WIP from my car except for flyers/sixers games. i can't stand eskin or cataldi mainly because they are both stupid.
i met cataldi at eagles training camp last year. when the microphone wasn't on he was racist, bigotted, and even more of a jerk than he is on the radio.
the only sports radio i'll listen to is jodymac on 950.
Posted by: Chris | July 31, 2007 11:07 AM
I listen to both...Eskin more than Cataldi, and I think you are way off base. Consider Tuesday: Atlanta gets Teixiera, the Mets get Luis Castillo, and the Phillies get...WHO THE HECK IS THIS GUY FROM CINCINNATI? Another one from the homeless pile. No wonder the Phils have no shot--and these guys are absolutely right.
Posted by: Tom Wilkins | July 31, 2007 1:04 PM
To answer the Lohse question first; This is his 3rd team in two years. He struggled last year in the Al with minn before the reds made a deal for him. Afterwards he pitched better in spots. His problem is home runs, much like Eaton. In fact him and Eaton are very similar in style. He was the only viable option on the market ecpt for Joe Blanton from Oakland who is worlds better. Blanton would have cost you Victorino along with your best aaa prospect and a draft pick. Blanton may go to the Dodgers today.
As far as WIP radio goes its garbage. Cataldi is the wanna be pied piper to every wife beater wearing moron ages 35 and up. Eskin has limited knowledge when it comes to anything outside of the rhelm of philadelphia. However, you are smoking the rock if you believe that Monty and the fab 12 are not to blame here. They are so short sited when it comes to spending for the long term. The phillies have invested such little money into ar eastern scouting and Dominican Baseball its a crime. Combine that with a refusal to go over budget even for the short term. They don't understand the fact if you overspend one year it will return ten fold in the next five years. Then again they sell out now and haven't made the playoffs in 14 years. Please keep that fact in mind when you defend this feeble group. While it's not as simple as those two dopes on WIP try and make it, its not as complicated as Montey tries to make it either. The problem lies right in the middle.
Posted by: matt list | July 31, 2007 1:43 PM
I'm guessing that Lohse is an inning eater like Moyer and Eaton. They are going to give up runs, but are going to keep you in the game for five or six innings. (I'm trying to look on the bright side.)
Anyhow, it looks like Lohse gets Durbin's spot in the starting rotation. Durbin has had two great games as a starter, but the one relief performance I saw him in before he was thrust into the starting role was absolutely dreadful...he couldn't get an out. Are they keeping him up or moving him down? He really deserves a shot as a fifth starter to me.
The Phils Dominican scout used to be Ruben Amaro Sr... what is his role now? (I do agree they were late to the party in spending money and scouting Central America... that's a good observation).
I'm not a Gillick fan, but since I ripped many of his deals, it's only fair to give him credit when it's due....i.e....the Iguchi deal. Gooch was a solid starter for the White Sox last year and came to us for Rich Dubee's son, who's a mediocre prospect. This is one deal it looks as if we got the better end of. Can Iguchi play 3rd when Utley gets back? Has he played third at all in his ML career?
Posted by: JJ | July 31, 2007 5:10 PM
Amen Ron!!! I stopped listening to WIP and now I don't even watch Daily News Live. These talk show hosts and sports reporters for the most part live to rip Philadelphia sports. What people don't get is that a lot of them (there are some) are not originally from Philly and all they are doing is making a mockery of our wonderful city. It's one thing to have beef with certain players or management with logical reasoning to support yourself. But logic never finds it's way on to their shows. They act the way they do for two reasons. They want a lot of people to call in and kiss their ass so they feel important in the world and they want to pretend they have lots of power by hanging up on any caller that disagrees with them. Once again wonderful article. We need some more people like you on radio and TV.

While most in the southeastern United States might prefer to avoid an eastern diamondback rattlesnake, some herpetologists are becoming afraid of something else: not being able to find them. The world's largest rattlesnake seems to be disappearing from its natural habitat.
The US Department of Fish and Wildlife has announced a year-long study to determine if the rattlers' numbers have declined to endangered-level status. While it is not known exactly what has caused their decline, the likely suspect is human development into their habitat. The eastern U.S. long-leaf pine forests they prefer have shrunk from pre-colonial levels of 90 million acres to now just over 3 million. We may fear these venomous snakes, but they could wind up being the ones in need of protection.

The Riverside County Department of Public Health Injury Prevention Services (IPS) developed a Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program at several priority schools, which it identified by mapping youth pedestrian and bicycle injuries and deaths in the county. The mapping process "enables us to strategically map where the SRTS efforts might be beneficial," says Gail Carlson, Program Coordinator, IPS.
Riverside County Department of Health IPS focused its efforts at eight Riverside elementary schools (a total 7,120 enrolled students) which had the highest rates of pedestrian and bicycle injuries among youth. Most of the eight schools are classified as low-income, where more than 50 percent of the students receive free and reduced meals. These schools are neighborhood schools, and the majority of students live within walking distance. Riverside County Department of Health IPS is working with the City of Riverside Public Works, Traffic Engineering, and Police Department to identify infrastructure or safety issues and to develop a plan to make it safer for kids to walk or bicycle to school. Riverside is the largest city in Riverside County with a population of 296,842.
School principals, faced with dwindling resources and increased demands on staff time, must stick to core student services and sometimes find it difficult to add to their school calendars, Carlson says. "My experience has been the majority of Principals will get on-board, if given the technical assistance and support needed, which is what our program does," she explains.
"For the most part, parents want to walk their children to school," she says. "International Walk to School Day has been a success in raising awareness and educating parents and students about the health, social, and environmental benefits to walking or bicycling to school."
By forming the SRTS Coalition, IPS achieved key stakeholder support among schools, the city's police and transportation departments and community partners. The initial challenge was identifying "champions" among the targeted elementary schools. Obtaining buy in from school administrators and keeping them motivated to sustain activities throughout the year were also key program development. PTA presidents and principals have been vital champions.
The SRTS Coalition facilitated interaction between schools and community organizations, increased capacity, and helped to create sustainable activities throughout the year. Outreach efforts at regional and local PTA conferences and meetings enabled IPS to educate PTAs about the importance of SRTS, to motivate them to participate in Walk to School Day and to establish frequent walker programs.
"What has really helped continue the momentum is the SRTS Coalition," Carlson says.
The Riverside County Department of Public Health was awarded $491,580 in federal non-infrastructure funds from the California Department of Transportation for its education and encouragement program at eight schools. The department actually supported efforts at 15 schools thanks to contributions from community partners in the SRTS Coalition. In Cycle 2, the department was awarded $349,520 and will expand its program.
The SRTS Coalition has been a cost-effective and efficient vehicle for planning educational and encouragement events and sustaining efforts throughout the year. Through this coalition, IPS has been successful in leveraging thousands of dollars in volunteer support and in-kind contributions for SRTS projects. For example, the Western Riverside Council of Governments, through its Green Cities initiative, paid for the printing of 12,000 transportation mode surveys and provided incentives to schools that returned the surveys.
The SRTS Coalition meets every other month and is attended by school PTA presidents and parent volunteers, principals, assistant vice principals, unified school district members, school transportation managers, police and fire departments, teen volunteer groups, community organizations such as Rotary International, local walking clubs, representatives from the Mayor's office and public works department, and other public health agencies. In 2008, IPS's first program year, the coalition helped to coordinate the largest Walk to School Day event in the city with approximately 3,600 students and 120 volunteers participating. In 2009, more than 5,000 students participated on Walk to School Day. Most schools are large with an average of 890 students, and when 90 percent of students participate, the event literally fills neighborhood blocks with student and parent walkers.
"It really does raise awareness in the community," Carlson says. The mayor and city council presented Walk to School Day Proclamations for both years and then participated by joining walking school buses and handing out incentive items to students. The fire department brought fire trucks to some schools, and the police department also supported the event. Public and private sector organizations donated time and resources, such as activity books, pencils, gift certificates for smoothies, and "I Walked/Biked to School" banners, which students got to sign, to add excitement to the event.
"Our partners play a significant role in the success of our program," she says.
The SRST Coalition created a blog site for schools in the SRTS program to list their events and walking school bus routes. Carlson is assisting the city with a pedestrian assessment of many of the school intersections where the program currently is focusing education and encouragement activities.
In the spring of 2010, the SRTS Coalition will present a SRTS workshop at Longfellow Elementary, where up to 94 percent of the students receive free or reduced lunch and approximately 90 percent of the students could walk to school. The IPS SRTS program is assisting the principal, who is a committed partner, in educating a newly formed PTA about SRTS education and encouragement strategies. The SRTS workshop, which will be presented by key SRTS staff such as city engineers, the police department and Carlson, will help identify the barriers to walking or bicycling and educate parents about safe pedestrian and driver behavior.
To further customize the course, the coalition also translated most of the materials to Spanish because the school's population is predominantly Hispanic, and English is their second language.
"You need to be flexible with the schools and listen to their needs and provide them with the resources and support they need to get them involved in SRTS activities," Carlson says.
A local Girl Scout troop worked with the city transportation engineer and Carlson to conduct a walking audit around a school. The scouts created a video presentation and took their findings to the city, where work has already begun to address some of the issues.
Carlson now serves on the Bicycle Advisory Committee for the city, which is creating a bicycle master plan. Safe Routes to School will be part of the city's State of the City address this year. IPS in collaboration with the City of Hemet was awarded $707,850 to make infrastructure improvements along walking routes to Cawston Elementary, Rancho Vista Middle, and Tahquitz High School.
IPS will coordinate the education and encouragement activities at these schools. Hemet Unified School District has some of the highest rates of pedestrian and bicycle injuries and fatalities among children in the county," Carlson says.
