As Americans face ever-higher gas prices, actor George Clooney argued today before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that what happens in conflict-torn Sudan affects American pocket books.
"South Sudan is shutting off its oil," Clooney said. "Six weeks ago the South shut down their oil production. They just stopped. And overnight China lost 6% of its overall oil imports, which means they have to go elsewhere, and that raises the price of oil."
Clooney called on the United States Senate to help toughen the sanctions on the Khartoum government, a government he says is committing "war crimes" against civilians, with a bill similar to one the House passed, the "Sudan Peace Security and accountability Act."
Clooney asked the senators on the Foreign Relations Committee to increase America's engagement in "real diplomacy," starting with China, to help solve the cross-border issues together, for "good, solid economic reasons" for both countries.
He also called on the Obama administration to send a high-level envoy to China to work together on this issue.
"We can take this moment and engage with China," Clooney said.
"There are economic reasons to do this for both of us and it seems to me that we can use this opportunity, this window of opportunity before it gets too long, too late, by sending a high-level envoy," the actor said.
Clooney was just back from a trip to the violent border region between Sudan and South Sudan where he observed the aftermath of the bombing of villages in the Nuba Mountains, by Sudanese government forces.
Aided by a short video of his trip last week, Clooney told of villagers forced to dwell in caves out of "constant drip of fear" from the aerial attacks.
"We found children filled with shrapnel, including a 9-year-old boy who had both of his hands blown off," Clooney said. "It is a campaign of murder and fear and displacement and starvation."
Clooney was speaking on behalf of the Satellite Sentinel Project, and he was accompanied by John Prendergast, the organization's founder, who also spoke to the committee.
The Satellite Sentinel Project uses satellite images to monitor southern Sudan, in what it calls a kind of "anti-genocide paparazzi." Prendergast says the satellite images are used to "create evidence for future arrest warrants and prosecutions based on the crimes that are being committed now. "
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-NH., wanted to know if, given the popularity of the video, Clooney is contemplating a "stop Kony-like" video for Sudan.
Clooney, as he said in an interview on "Good Morning America" this morning said he was surprised by the response to the Kony video and noted the powerful role that social media can have in raising attention world-wide to all atrocities.
"Social media can really be a very big deal now, YouTube and twitter and all those elements can be a way to keep young people involved," Clooney said. He added that the Satellite Sentinel Project plans to make its videos and other materials about the atrocities in Sudan available to the public.
But Clooney noted the problem of "donor fatigue" as well as "misery fatigue," and said that big pushes around singular events are extremely important to keep momentum going.
Clooney will meet with President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton later this week.

Marbles, graining and blistering all reduced compared to last year
Pirelli promises to address the tyre issues for the 2014 season.
Before the final chequered flag of the 2013 season, the FIA, Pirelli and the Formula One teams are already focused on the new era.
Development tyres for Friday practice at final Grand Prix of the season
Pirelli wants to know what they should do.
Williams F1 drivers ready to challenge COTA to get points.
Formula One received an absolutely fantastic welcome from the American public last year, which made it a truly memorable race.
The new deal will be for three years. Marco Tronchetti Provera: "We are in the final stages now."
The Italian company has already signed deals for 2014 and beyond with the teams and Bernie Ecclestone, and the FIA has given the green light for a new contract.
Pirelli boss Paul Hembery claimed that "some teams went against our recommendations".
Vettel selects the correct tyre strategy and becomes World Champion
Strategy was going to be very important from the outset of qualifying.
Prior to Saturday's qualifying for the India Grand Prix, Pirelli's Paul Hembery is unhappy.
Between two and three pit stops expected in the heat of India
Nice managing tyres halped Sebastian to get top position in today's race.
Vettel goes fastest on P Zero white medium
The apology to Fernando Alonso and Ferrari has been accepted but tyre issues still exist.
This year, Pirelli will take the two hardest compounds in the range: the P Zero Orange hard and P Zero White medium.
Formula One drivers continue to complain and worry about the Pirelli tyres, and now Perez adds his thoughts after the Korean Grand Prix.
The German stopped twice, to become the first driver to win in Korea from pole.
First time for Bottas at the Korean International Circuit
To suit the stop-start nature of the track, Pirelli has selected the P Zero Red supersoft tyre – the softest tyre in the range – and the P Zero White medium.
What the team has to say prior to the only Formula One race under the nights.
Pirelli is surely staying in the sport beyond its 2013 tenure.
At Spa-Francorchamps rumours again surfaced regarding a possible change of a tyre supplier
Pirelli's Paul Hembery claims both tyre failures on Friday were due to debris on the circuit.
Hard and medium Pirelli tyres for Spa-Francorchamps
It is yet another clear indication that Pirelli will be staying in F1 beyond the end of its rapidly-expiring 2013 contract.
"We have a contract with the teams, but the rules do not allow competition between tyre manufacturers." - Paul Hembery
According to Russia's f1news.ru, Hembery is admitting that Dubai is the frontrunner.
These tyres are well known from last year, and Mercedes got all the test data.
Xevi Pujolar, Chief Race Engineer: "The layout is quite technical; one corner quickly flows into the next and there are not many straights to be able to relax."
All Formula One teams except for Mercedes tested a new range of Pirelli tyres at the Silverstone circuit during the three-day Young Drivers Test.
Paul Hembery: "This young driver test presents a valuable opportunity for the teams to assess the new specification of tyre, and also to run their young drivers."
Pirelli pointed the finger at those running extreme tyre pressures, wheel cambers and swapping rear tyres left to right.
Pirelli heads to another legendary venue in motorsport: at the Nurburgring in Germany.

POSTED: Thursday, July 7, 2011 - 3:17pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, November 15, 2011 - 1:12pm
BATON ROUGE, La (NBC33) — Can technology that you use every day make you more susceptible to crime? Police say "yes," but only if you aren't careful.
LSU student Sruti Bhatt uses social networking sites, like Facebook, to connect with her friends. "It's just a good way to keep in touch with everybody," she explains.
That includes using a tool that let's her "check-in" to different places throughout the day. "It's a good way to let your friends know where you are and all the cool places you get to go when you're out and about."
But checking-in online has a downside. "It tells you the exact time that you posted it, where you are, and it even let's you say who you're with," says Ashley Andrews. "It's just easy for people to locate you or find out where you're not."
Police say, something like that, can be dangerous in the wrong hands. "If you're checking into a movie theater, then you're not at home, and depending upon who has access to your particular information, it could lead to someone breaking into your house," says Sgt. Don Stone with the Baton Rouge Police Department.
Andrews says that's one of the reason why she chooses not to "check-in."
"I just don't think its necessary for everybody to know where you are," she says.
Police say its a good idea to make sure there are security settings in place on your social networking sites to keep unwanted eyes away from your business.
Bhatt says, she already does that. "Nobody can use my profile, unless they are my friend," she explains. "I do feel safe because I protect myself and I watch out for my well-being."
Stone says there are other dangers out there to be aware of. Most GPS devices now have a tool that allows the user to save their home address into the system.
"When I'm lost, I hit 'go home' and it take me there. It's great," says Andrews.
But what happens if that GPS gets stolen? "All the criminal has to do is turn it on, push 'home' and it's going to take them straight to your house," says Stone.
Stone suggests putting in a business or landmark into the "home" tool, instead of your actual address.
It's a concept Bhatt and Andrews had never thought of. "The world is very scary and with technology and everything, everyone thinks its so great, but there's a bad side to it also," says Andrews.
"I never think about the negative aspects that can come out of it," Bhatt agrees.
Police say the best thing you can do is protect your personal information, whether that's on your phone, your GPS, or your computer. Keep your GPS in a safe place and be careful about what you decide to share online.

He suggested that Frank, the teenage diarist who died in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945, would have been a fan of his. Critics accused him of being narcissistic, but others, including Frank's stepsister, criticized the uproar and said Frank might indeed have been a fan.And last month in Munich, German authorities confiscated a young monkey that Bieber traveled with.More from showbizWhat to look forward to in 2015The sexiest night on TVWhy we're obsessed with spiesPowered by Livefyre

Jim Loach talks about the making of Oranges & Sunshine, the true story of Margaret Humphreys, a social worker from Nottingham who uncovered one of the most significant social scandals of recent times: the deportation of thousands of children from the United Kingdom to Australia.
How did you go about the process of narrowing down the material to make this film? So many people were affected...
Jim Loach: We met lots and lots of former child migrants and, honestly, any single one of them you could have made a film about them. It was just extraordinary - every single one of them had an extraordinary story of being lifted out of this country and being taken to another country and being sold a lie, and the moment when they discovered that what they'd been told was untrue and then trying to piece together their lives. I mean, it was extraordinary.So, in the early days, we were thinking maybe that would be a way to do it, but I think we kept coming back to Margaret [Humphreys], because we were really interested in her central dilemma, which is that she's a woman, battling against the odds, [in a] heroic struggle against all these authorities, trying to reunite families and bring families back together but at the same time, trying to keep her own family together. And we were interested in that dilemma and the working mum thing. We found that was interesting as a general motor for the story, in the context of the wider story.
There's an emphasis placed on Emily Watson's portrayal of Margaret listening, which is a quality that a counsellor needs. Tell us about working with her to achieve that.
Jim Loach: We talked a lot about it and, again, Emily did a lot of research and spoke to social workers and did a lot of watching of social workers in action. By the time of shooting I'd known Margaret a long time, so had observed her a lot myself. One of the reasons I wanted Emily was that she is a great listener, she totally understands that aspect. But it's exactly right, what you're saying, and that was the aspect of the part she completely got from day one which was very heartening. There were many other attributes she could bring, but I knew that was one of them. We were always fascinated by and also challenged by the [idea] that this woman has a big interior life. There's never a scene where she goes to the pub and says: "It's a nightmare, I can't do all this, it's impossible, no one person can do it!" She had to communicate that in the smallest moments, and in that environment professionals don't show much and we wanted to really be truthful to that.
Yet they didn't meet prior to shooting, did they?
Jim Loach: [Laughs] No.
Did that surprise you?
Jim Loach: We talked about it a lot, and I've since been questioned a lot about it. Emily and I came to the conclusion that it would probably be better if they didn't and that was because... Emily had played real people before for a start, and I think she would say that she'd been round the course on that and seen the problems it can bring. I think she'd say that. Also, there's just no point in getting bogged down in a narrow impersonation. She was obviously aiming at a wider truth. And the real Margaret creates a very strong impression because she's a fantastic woman who we found really inspiring, which was why we wanted to make the film. But for me, there wasn't any point in Emily getting distracted by things that weren't relevant. They met after a screening a couple of months ago, and they get on very well.
What does Margaret think of Emily's performance?
Jim Loach: She really likes it a lot. I honestly didn't know what Margaret would think of the film, I had no expectations, good or bad, I just didn't know what she'd make of it. And she really likes it a lot. Social workers actually, generally, have really responded to what Emily's done which has been really gladdening. But Emily especially... I mean, people in Margaret's family and her friends can't quite believe they didn't meet beforehand. It's quite odd. I told a woman that yesterday and she thought I wasn't telling the truth, but they honestly didn't meet beforehand. It was a decision we made. But Margaret really likes what Emily's done.
Did Margaret have any comment on the depiction of her family and the impact on them?
Jim Loach: We talked about it a lot at the script stage. For the first few years, Margaret was quite reluctant to have the film made. Reluctant might not be the right word, but wary definitely, because she's very private for a start and she didn't want to put her family up for discussion, which I can understand. I think she wanted to know what the film was going to be, and that's really difficult to answer because truthfully you don't really know what the film is going to be until you've made it, do you? You've obviously got strong ideas, but nothing has actually been committed to film. I think what changed was she started to read Rona [Munro, screenwriter]'s drafts and she started to see what we were interested in doing, and that we weren't going to just make stuff up that had no bearing.
Do you think the reaction is going to be different in Australia? In the UK, I would sense that there will be from establishment quarters a sense of guilt; perhaps in Australia also, although maybe less so because they were the recipients...
Jim Loach: Yeah. There's a completely different atmosphere in Australia, actually, and I think it'll be taken quite differently there. Of course, they have the indigenous story there, so I think, I hope they'll be ready to accept it as part of the nation's history. I mean, you know, whether Emily and I cop a bit of "Coming over here, telling us about our history"... But we haven't had that so far. I mean, we really haven't. I think there, actually, there's a real interest in heritage and everybody has a very clear idea about where, specifically, they came from and where their families came to Australia [from]. So, I hope they'll want to accept it as part of their history too.
What about the children themselves? What does the film mean to them and has someone like the real-life person behind David Wenham's character Len seen it?
Jim Loach: Yeah, he has. A lot of them have seen it. I went over about two months ago and we showed them the film. It was incredible, actually, it was a really, really memorable afternoon. We just sat down, they watched the film and, obviously, they were really emotional afterwards. We sat around and talked about it and I just heard their feedback and they were really ready to embrace it and it was brilliant. Because, again, you don't presume that you know what the reaction's going to be and obviously, as a director, you worry about how people will take it but it was amazing. They really want to take ownership of it and it was very highly-charged, but great.
Are the Christian Brothers and their representatives tired of apologising or is there still a mea culpa to be had there?
Jim Loach: Well, you know, it's so cack-handed, the way it was dealt with. I mean, I'm obviously not the expert on that, but a lot of it was compounded by fumbled apologies and kind of fumbled compensation, stuff like that. We wanted to shoot the real Bindoon, which was the place you see right at the end. And we could have done and we should have done, because it was part of the history of that building and we would have been ready to shoot, but they kind of came up with a load of excuses and fobbed us off and then eventually said 'no'. At one point they said we might have to go to the Vatican for a meeting, which I was rather up for. I kept saying to Camilla [Bray], our producer: "You've got to set that meeting up at the Vatican." But eventually they just gave us a blanket "no". But they should have let us, because they would have accepted it as part of their history and that would have meant a lot to the real people too, that they were able to at least acknowledge what had happened there.
When real events began to overtake the film, and the apologies occurred from both the English and Australian governments, did you feel you had captured the zeitgeist?
Jim Loach: It was coincidental what happened. It was quite strange because we'd first come out with the story in 2002 and then we worked on it for about seven or eight years and it just so happened that it all happened at the same time. We were just about to start shooting when [Prime Minister] Kevin Rudd apologised in Australia, and then when we went to Australia Gordon Brown promptly apologised. So, it was just the way it happened, and it was a huge moment. Feelings were running really high, it was a massive moment for Margaret. They were completely knocked out by it because they'd worked for it for so long. And for us, actually, for the film, it was quite useful really. But we didn't really set out to make a campaigning film, so it sort of got it out the way. It was useful in that respect, and it also gave a full stop to the story, which we felt was really important, that an audience gets to an end of sorts. So it's important in that sense.
Do you think it's possible for the victims to find closure in some way?
Jim Loach: It's a really good question and I'd be lying if I told you that I knew the answer because, of course, I'm really wary about speaking for them. I think most of them would say that they found a way of living with it, and obviously for some who found their parents, that's the start of a new chapter and they kind of move on. But some are still looking. All of them still live with the damage done, absolutely. But we were fascinated by the fact that they weren't victims, they never presented themselves as victims to us. To us, they became quite heroic characters, like there's this one guy who kind of became the inspiration for the Len character in the film. What we liked about him was that if you offered him sympathy he'd run a mile, he wasn't interested in sympathy or an arm round the shoulder. He was full of great humour and strength and dignity.

honestly I don't see why not allow the flat armor pen to stack across different items if it's nerfed. seems like too much of a blow when the BC just needed to not stack with it's self, have some nerfs to it and so on. other than the fact it'll just make people want the piercing and reduction with the armor pen as just a side to it all. brutalizer nerfs: I can understand it for the cost black cleaver: it needs it if unique's so you can't stack them, but I feel it'd be a bit over-kill to not allow the different items to stack as before, since you'd forego the item space that could have been survivability. when we pick AD, bruisers or AD assassins we tend to want BC and last whisper just to clean cut through most of the armor or pick one then get survivability and HP. I think the blackfire + teemo shrroms is still worse how ever. these nerfs wont stop me from being renekton, but I think they are a bit too much if you can't stack different items for armor pen should you need it. I want tanks to make a come back but I don't want half tanky teemos with blackfire torches making it nearly impossible to kill them due to their kit + items.
So sick of playing right now because of this item. 1-4 of these on so many opponents. Make it all unique. Nerf the shiat out of this. It's making LOL become repetitive.

This item just plain shouldn't be in Dominion, nerfed or not----Dominion already has an Armor Penetration aura---it doesn't need something like this in it, as well; if people want ArPen, they have a perfectly fine solution: Last Whisper. Quite frankly I have no idea why anyone at Riot thought it was a good idea to allow BC into Dominion but bar Blade of the Ruined King....just doesn't make sense.
@Fox: They're going to remove the armor penetration aura. I would say the possibility of Warmog's getting reinstated since it's rework is pretty good, and AD Casters will need a means to stay relevant. I don't think BC would be much of an issue if it's passive was unique and the HP was removed from the item. What is currently on the PBE? Is it still the same set of nerfs?
Yup. Same suite of nerfs. CDR needs to be made unique on the item, honestly.
My 2 cents keeping in mind the 12% armor pen is going away. Make the arp, cdr, and passive unique on BC Nerf the passive a little bit. Do NOT make the brutalizer arp unique with youmuu's and BC because that makes building both items in one build quite painful. My thoughts would be to change the build path on one of them. Too much early flat arp is extremely effective. One thing that crosses my mind is the build of LW, BC, and youmuu's is extremely effective. I wonder if thats too strong as it gives 55.5% arp (assuming no global aura) and 35 arp. I think with masteries and runes you get 54 arp, so even with 200 armor, that still brings that number below 50 I believe and squishies still remain at being hit with true damage. Thinking out loud, it might be necessary to nerf flat arp as well. I guess the question really become is when do you want armor to become effective when you start stacking it. Right now, that number is obviously way too high. Sorry for all the rambling, I ended up doing a lot of thinking as I was writing this out. My math, of course, is probably off.

Earlier this season at Titleist's Oceanside Test Facility, Team Titleist got the chance to hang out with PGA Tour rookie and Titleist Brand Ambassador Scott Stallings, winner of last weekend's Greenbrier Classic, as he dialed in his Titleist 910 driver and fairway metals.After finishing his work with the Oceanside team, Scott was excited to film his Team Titleist Rookie Q&A, in which we covered a range of topics, including his start in the game, his favorite sports team and his clutch performance at the 2010 PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament.
Scott, 26, was born in Worcester, Mass., but moved to Oak Ridge, Tenn., at a young age. He played his college golf at Tennessee Tech, where he graduated in 2007, turned professional and started playing in events on both the NGA Hooters Tour and the Tarheel Tour.
Scott missed his PGA Tour card at 2009 Q-School by just one shot, and played the 2010 season on the Nationwide Tour.
At Q-School last October, Scott rolled his Pro V1x golf ball in for birdies on his final two holes to secure his 2011 PGA Tour card – "Something I've dreamed about since I was a little kid," he said on Golf Channel not long after signing his card.
On Sunday at The Greenbrier, Scott again finished with consecutive birdies – one to get into the playoff, and one to win the playoff – to earn his first PGA Tour victory, a two-year Tour exemption and an invitation to the 2012 Masters Tournament.

Titleist was the overwhelming golf ball of choice at last week's Warren Amateur Open at Warren Golf and Country Club in Singapore. 69 players (68%) trusted Titleist golf balls to compete in one of Singapore's top Amateur events, 5 times more than the nearest competitor with 14.
Titleist was also the top choice in Wedges (116) and Putters (24).
This was the 4th year of the Warren Amateur Open, with 101 participants from Singapore, Malaysia, U.K, Hong Kong, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Philippines, Myanmar and India competing.
The eventual winner of the event played a Pro V1 golf ball.
Titleist Brand Ambassador Scott Stallings won The Greenbrier Classic with one of the year's most extraordinary finishes, trusting a Pro V1x golf ball, new Prototype Titleist AP2 irons and a bag full of Titleist equipment to his first PGA Tour victory.Stallings, 26, emerged from an all-Titleist playoff with a birdie on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff to cap off a three-win week for Titleist golf ball players around the world, including Pro V1x loyalist Yani Tseng, who won the the Ricoh Women's British Open to become the youngest player across all tours to win her fifth major championship.Stalling's comeback victory featured eight birdies over his final 11 holes Sunday at The Old White TPC Course, as well as four storybook shots to close out the tournament.On the tee at the 169-yard par-3 18th hole at the end of final round, Stallings stood over his Pro V1x golf ball with his new Prototype Titleist AP2 (712 Series) 9-iron in his hands, knowing he needed a birdie to get into a playoff with Titleist Brand Ambassador Bill Haas and Pro V1x loyalist Bob Estes.He sent his Pro V1x sailing just left of the flag, the ball landing 5 feet from the hole. Stallings dropped in the birdie putt for a 1-under 69 and 10-under 270 total, finishing at the top of a leader board that featured eight Titleist Brand Ambassadors and nine Titleist golf ball players in the top 10: Stallings (Pro V1x), Haas (Pro V1), Estes (Pro V1x), Brendon de Jonge (T-4, Pro V1x), Cameron Tringale (T-4, Pro V1x), Jimmy Walker (T-4, Pro V1), Gary Woodland (T-4, Pro V1), Webb Simpson (T-9, Pro V1x) and Kyle Stanley (T-4, Pro V1x).About 20 minutes later, Stallings was back on the 18th tee, Pro V1x in hand."I actually put my ball on the same tee that I used in the same spot during regulation," he said.And again, Stallings struck his new Prototype Titleist AP2 9-iron perfectly. His Pro V1x slammed down on the green, 7 feet left of the flag. (Earlier in the round, Stallings also used his 9-iron to set up short birdie putts on Nos. 11 and 14.)Stallings' caddie handed him his Scotty Cameron 009 putter, and he stood to the side of the 18th green watching birdie tries by both Haas and Estes miss just short."I just closed my eyes right before, when I was reading the putt, and just took a deep breath and visualized the ball going in the hole," said Stallings, who finished third earlier this season at the Transitions Championship."It was great. After the ball went in, I don't really know what happened. Everything is kind of a blur."For the week, Stallings finished second in birdies (19) and tied for second in Green in Regulation (79.2 percent), becoming the third player to win on the PGA Tour trusting new Prototype Titleist (712 Series) irons since their launch five weeks ago at the AT&T National. That week, Stallings put the new prototype irons in the bag after just one practice round.Titleist Brand Ambassador Nick Watney won the AT&T National playing the new Prototype AP2 irons, and Titleist Brand Ambassador Chris Kirk won the Viking Classic using the new Prototype CB irons.
Titleist was the overwhelming golf ball of choice at The Greenbrier Classic with 109 players, more than seven times the nearest competitor with 14 and more than all competitors combined. Titleist also was first in iron sets (49), including 27 sets of new Prototype Titleist 712 irons; sand, lob and approach wedges(149); and putters (64).With the win, Stallings earned an invitation to the 2012 Masters Tournament. He also moved to 26th in the FedExCup standings and earned a spot in this week's World Golf Championships event at Firestone Country Club.Here's a closer look at Scott Stallings' Titleist equipment:Ball: Titleist Pro V1xDriver: Titleist 910D3 8.5º, B•1 SureFit Tour hosel setting (Mitsubishi Diamana Ahina 70 )3-wood: Titleist 909F2 13.5º (Mitsubishi Diamana White 83)Hybrid: Titleist 910H 19º, B•2 Setting (Matrix Ozik Altus)Irons: Prototype AP2, 712 Series 4-9 (True Temper Project X 6.5 )Wedge: Titleist Vokey Design Spin Milled 248.10º, 252.12º, 256.14º, 260.10º (True Temper Project X 6.5)Putter: Scotty Cameron 009 Stalling's victory was one of three on the weekend for Titleist golf ball players across the worldwide professional tours.

In my mind, I say, 'Wow, five majors.' I never think about that...," said Tseng, who last month captured the Wegman's LPGA Championship by 10 shots."I feel like this is just very special, and I'm very happy and very appreciative that I worked hard and finally all the hard work has paid off."Tseng was one of 102 players at the Ricoh Women's British Open that relied on Titleist golf balls for their success, more than nine times the nearest competitor with 11 and more than all competitors combined.

This week Victoria had five consecutive days of 100-degree or higher temperatures including a record-setting 108 on Tuesday.
"We want to be an oasis for people who need to get out of the heat," said Doc Bartlett, social services case worker. "We want to be able to provide water and a snack and place for them to cool down."
The cooling station will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday at 1306 N. Louis St.
Donations may be dropped off from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday or until 6 p.m. at the adjacent Salvation Army Thrift Store.
Bartlett said volunteers are also needed to operate the cooling station.
"Basically, you are there to provide company to those that come in, play cards, talk, whatever. Just be there for them," he said.
To volunteer or for more information, call 361-576-1297.

Scientists manage to boil water without bubbles
A new type of nanomaterial exploits the Leidenfrost effect, in which droplets of water can skate across hot a hot surface without boiling away, to boil water without creating explosive bubbles.
Dr. Ivan Vakarelski
A new nanomaterial vanquishes the bubbles that normally pop up with boiling, a finding that may point to ways to help prevent explosions in nuclear power plants, researchers say.
To understand how this material works, imagine a hot skillet. When its surface is warm, water on it will bubble. However, once the skillet gets hot enough, the water drops will skitter across its surface as they levitate on a cushion of vapor, an effect known as the Leidenfrost regime after the scientist who investigated it in 1756.
"The Leidenfrost state of a water drop is often used worldwide to gauge the temperature of a hot skillet while cooking," researcher Neelesh Patankar, a mechanical engineer at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., told LiveScience.
Tinkering with a surface's properties can alter the temperature at which water touching it goes from this explosive bubbling phase to the Leidenfrost regime. Making a surface hydrophobic, or water-repellant, affects how well heat gets transferred from that surface to water. Making it craggy instead of smooth also controls how heat flows from it. [Top 10 Greatest Explosions]
Scientists developed a craggy super-water-repellant coating made of nanoparticles covered with an organic, hydrophobic compound. (Nanoparticles are particles only nanometers, or billionths of a meter, in size.)

Hay growers and dealers will have fewer Western dairy clients in 2013. But hay export demand will be strong – especially alfalfa hay to China. That's according to Seth Hoyt, market analyst and author of The Hoyt Report newsletter.
More About:
On Dec. 10, nearly 450 California Alfalfa & Grains Symposium attendees heard from Seth Hoyt, a well-known Western hay market analyst.
Hay growers and dealers will have fewer Western dairy clients in 2013. But hay export demand will be strong – especially alfalfa hay to China. That's according to Seth Hoyt, market analyst and author of The Hoyt Report newsletter.
"As a hay grower or hay dealer, if you're selling direct to (California) dairies, you're going to have fewer to sell to," said Hoyt at the California Alfalfa & Forage Symposium held Dec. 10-12 in Sacramento. Nearly 100 dairies there exited the business in 2012, he said in quoting estimates from state dairy organizations.
"One hay dealer from Hanford (CA) told me last week that last winter he was selling hay to 11 dairies. This winter, there are two of those dairies left."
Baled hay exports from California ports in 2012 shot up 23% from the 2011 figure, and China was the main driver. Dairies there will continue to require dairy-quality alfalfa hay into 2013 and beyond, said Hoyt, who expects 2013 exports to China to be double this year's levels.
The United Arab Emirates will likely be a good alfalfa hay customer, and the Saudi Arabian market also shows potential. But exports to Japan declined by 5% in 2012 compared to 2011 figures. Timothy hay exports to that country increased sharply after 2011 Tsunami effects reduced Japanese grass hay production.
A poor Australian oat-hay harvest last year also helped boost timothy hay as well as sudangrass hay exports to Japan in 2012. "The outlook for next year is that Australia's oat-hay crop looks to have very good quality. The problem is its yield is down about 25-30% in volume."
Hoyt predicted a supreme-quality $220-230/ton price to come out of the Imperial Valley's first alfalfa cutting next spring, down from his earlier prediction of $240-250. But he stressed that it was made cautiously because milk prices are so uncertain. Experts have been estimating California milk-price increases to $20-22/cwt from December through the first half of next year, but instead they're trending downward.
USDA milk mailbox prices for September, just released, show California at $17.36/cwt and Wisconsin, also a major cheese-producing state, at $20.48. Milk production in September was down 3.9% in California and up in Wisconsin by 3.5%.
For more of Hoyt's comments, see our January issue of Hay & Forage Grower, scheduled to hit mailboxes the middle of the month.

The Wicked Stepmother image
Unfortunately, literature is chock-full of the wicked stepmother image. Children are affected by this, and often approach a stepmother with fear and trepidation. Accept that this starting image is normal, and work to show that you are an individual, and have nothing to do with any stereotype. Be fair, and be yourself.

There should be far more options when the loot screen pops up, something like main spec, off spec, greed, roll to sell, and disenchant makes alot more sense. The limitations they have in place for needing can be placed on off spec and greed just as easily. For orbs they can do 2 buttons only roll or pass.

Local Radio Personality & General Manager Dies In Fatal Motorcycle Accident
(Washington, Indiana) — A local radio station General Manager and personality dies in a fatal motorcycle accident early Wednesday morning near Washington.
According to police, 46 year-old Bradly D. Deetz of Vincennes was driving a 2008 Yamaha on Old US 50 (East) approaching the intersection of County Road 150 W. Ernest B. Colbert was driving a 1999 Chevy pickup pulling a small trailer. Colbert stopped at the stop sign and stated he look both ways and did not see any oncoming traffic.
Colbert then pulled into the intersection, heading south to cross Old US 50, when Deetz ran into the passenger side front wheel of the pickup. After impact, Deetz was thrown from the motorcycle into the side of the pickup. Police say, Deetz was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
Deetz was transported to Daviess Community Hospital for treatment, where he was later flown to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis where he was pronounced dead.
