Airbus and Saab group make ATM acquisitions in the US
The US Federal Aviation Administration is set to invest more than USD2.5 billion in the development of the US air traffic management system over the next two years alone. Such investment is attracting interest from European aerospace companies that are increasingly eager to break into the market via acquisitions. This week, Airbus has announced the acquisition of Metron Aviation – a supplier of air traffic flow management solutions and ATM research - while Saab Group has closed the acquisition of Sensis – a supplier of a broad range of surveillance solutions covering commercial and military air traffic control, air defence, airline and airport operations management, and data integration and distribution.
Chinese airline fleet to DOUBLE to 5,000 by 2015 - CAAC
The CAAC has come out with an extraordinary prediction this month: Chinese airlines will nearly double their fleet size to as many as 5,000 aircraft by 2015. In the shadows of a major international air show on home soil, one might expect some bullish sentiment from the hosts. But the comment, by CAAC Head Li Jiaxiang, that the nation's domestic carriers will have an expected combined fleet of 4,800-5,000 aircraft in just five years (from 2,600 at present) is a breathtaking assessment. Even if it's only 50% accurate, aircraft manufacturers big and small are in for a bonanza.

The AIDS Memorial Quilt, displayed in its entirety for the last time, on the D.C. Mall in 1996
The thirty-something clerk from the company's Central Files Department took the seat across the desk from me with the slouched shoulders and grim facial expression of a defeated warrior. Darkened lesions were scattered on his face, his eyes slightly sunken.
"I've got it, Lezlie. It's official. I'm going to die."
Paul had AIDS. He had just come from San Francisco General Hospital where he had been diagnosed with pneumocystis pneumonia, an opportunistic disease caused by a yeast-like fungus that attacks the human lung when the body's immune system is compromised. It was the one manifestation of HIV/AIDS that provided its own public announcement via lesions like the ones dotting Paul's pale, gaunt face.
"What do you want to do, Paul?" I asked. "Are you telling me you are unable to continue working?"
Paul shook his head emphatically.
"No. I need to work. Please don't make me quit. I'll go crazy if I don't have something to do with myself every day."
My head started an all-to0-familiar throbbing behind my eyes. That's where the stress of those past several months made itself known to me -- daily. As the manager of the regional office's Administrative Services, I had more than 100 people in my organization. The majority of those were entry-level workers, and, since we were in San Francisco in the early 1980s, a good percentage of them were gay men.
In order to handle all the challenges the emerging HIV/AIDS epidemic posed in this cosmopolitan workplace, I read everything I could get my hands on about the disease. Looking back from this 2011 vantage point, it is jarring to remember how little was known about the transmission of AIDS. Conjecture within the ranks of my employees was rampant. People were parking themselves in my office door every day expressing their fear of contracting the disease by working next to the Pauls of the world. Hysteria was bubbling just below the surface in the offices.
Paul's face broke my heart. Not his tell-tale lesions, although they were ominously ugly. It was his fear that was written all over it. He was fragile, physically and emotionally, and I was determined not to add to his suffering by having a knee-jerk reaction to his diagnosis.
That's when I decided to call Cleve Jones, the co-founder in 1983 of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, and the creator of the AIDS Memorial Quilt. I invited Cleve to come to our offices to make a no-holds-barred presentation to the members of our team. That was one of the most productive and enlightening calls I ever made.
Cleve and I worked together with my leadership team to develope a workplace that was educated, sympathetic and nurturing for Paul and those who would follow him. Paul passed away within a few short months. Sadly, he was the first of many.
In 1985, my long-time goal of working in the company's Public Relations department was realized. I was transferred in to handle Community Relations in the Arts, the Latino community, the African American community, and the AIDS community. Through our work, millions of dollars in grants were awarded to AIDS service providers, and I became the company's regional face against AIDS.
In 1987, the brother of a man I was dating was diagnosed with pneumocystis. He suffered and fought gallantly, but, of course, lost the battle and was gone within six months. After facing the unrelenting grief suffered by that family, I decided to volunteer as a grief counselor during the weekend that the now gigantic AIDS Memorial Quilt was on display in San Francisco. My boyfriend's family had completed their panel in honor of their lost loved one, and I wanted to be there in the most meaningful way I could find.
Nothing could have prepared me for the gut-punching impact the sight of that magnificent work of public art had on me. Now that I knew first-hand what the families of these memorialized victims of AIDS had endured, the sheer number of panels on that convention center floor hit me like a brick.
My job was to walk among the panels on the floor to watch for persons who are overcome with grief and unable to recover. If they were alone on the quilt, I would walk over to them, take their hand or put an arm around their shoulders and just be there with them. Some would start talking, telling me all about their loved one. Others would bury their faces on my shoulder. Others just stood there, staring at the panel on the cold concrete floor.
I have given away untold millions of corporate dollars over the years of my career in Community Relations, but that never came close to matching the feeling of relevance I took home with me from my weekend on The Quilt.

This story was amazing and I hope you get an EP on it.
rated with hugs
Muse: Thank goodness the diagnosis doesn't have to mean imminent death all these years later. Back then, they would start making final arrangements!
Linda: Thanks, my friend. :-)
Hermione: That's very, very sad. You sound pretty sure that this guy had "flings" that were unprotected. That's criminal.
Rated. We've come a long way babeeeee, but we still have miles more to go!!!!!
You know, I've never understood eighties nostalgia. I have no fond memories whatsoever of living under that pitch-black cloud of terror which was the AIDS epidemic. That terror made people stay in relationships they might have been better off leaving. It all but consigned many single people to lives of enforced celibacy, loneliness and risk. And as you and others have pointed out, the epidemic wiped out hundreds of friends, relatives and co-workers, all while the Reagan administration did next to nothing other than tell all of us to "just say no" to sex.
FWIW, and if I may have your permission, I wrote a brief article in my old blog about the AIDS quilt when part of it toured my home town:
A great piece. Thanks.
I was working in San Francisco in the restaurant supply business in those days and I, too, saw more than a few gay acquaintances and friends succumb to AIDS. It was just devastating to the community. There were so many local artists, musicians, writers, and the like whose lives were just snuffed out in what seemed like overnight that one was left stunned at the rapidity of it all.
In the 80's Randy Shilts (who himself died of AIDS) wrote the definitive book on the human tragedy of this disease, called "And the Band Played On." A must-read book, IMHO.
I think "And The Band Played On" was made into a movie, probably for television.
Rw's point about class is true now but I don't think it was true initially. Who got it and why shifted.
If you were in San Francisco when this first became known, you were essentially at Ground Zero. Like your early sixties trip to the South, you watched history from a very close vantage point. I don't know if you do any public speaking about this period in your life but perhaps you should; if not speaking, then writing. If nothing else, you should be going into classrooms talking about some of this stuff. You know things other people don't, particularly kids.
The only way you wouldn't have gotten an EP for this is if the editors didn't find time to read it.
I was on the hospital end of things..I got out of anesthesia school in 1981, so you can imagine the degree of ignorance in the medical field. We DID know to avoid blood contact, but the degree of paranoia when an AIDS patient needed an IV started or blood drawn or needed surgery was off the scale. Since we had people on our staff with small children, or pregnant, or simply terrified, I ended up doing most of those cases. One of my best friends was diagnosed in 1991, and was actually in hospice on his death bed, so to speak, when they started him on the --at the time--very new "coctail" regiment that is now so well known. He literally rose from the dead. He posted his pictures from his Arizona trip on his Facebook page last week.
But we still need more miracles. Thank you Lezlie!!!
Duane: I unofficially "counseled" so many men whose families never showed up for them, even on their death beds. I wonder how those people have lived with themselves since then.
Bonnie and Matt: Thanks for your warm responses.
Sheba and Bellwether: Thanks!
Flylooper: We in the PR office were well acquainted with Randy
Shilts. You are so right about his book.
Rw005g: Your assessment of the economics of HIV/AIDS is spot on. Back then, though, as far as anyone knew, it was gay men who got AIDS, regardless of their socio-economic status. It was only later, as knowledge built and the story unfurled, that the issues of race and class came to the forefront.
Maryway: Thank you!
Fusun: Thanks, my dear.
Kosher: Until I started writing this blog, I thought my life was pretty unremarkable. In retrospect, I seem to have been in middle of severl historically significant happenings. I love public speaking, but haven't done any in many years.
Thanks, Jon.
Satori1: Oh yes, those in medicine were having a terrible time coping with AIDS back then. I remember some doctors refusing to treat AIDS patients.
David: I am so sorry to hear that. My heart still aches for those of you who had to bury prematurely so many loved ones.
Monsieur Chariot: Thank you so much. As you can see, it is an experience I will never forget.
Well told, Lezlie...
I send a hug to you for your friends lost, for my friends lost, for everyone's loss...
Healing: I feel the same about you and your stories.
JT: Thanks, my friend.
Owl: Thank YOU!
Sophieh: I am so glad the "cocktail" created in time to save your sibling.
Maynard: Thanks. Congrats on your EP today. A first, right?
Sarah: It was quite a trip.
LuminousMuse: Thank you so much.
Technically Tony didn't die of AIDS. He had taken as much pain and suffering as he could possibly stand from the disease and as it was moving towards the last stage he took his own life.
Very elegantly.
Tony had been saving up pills for the occasion. Then he waitied until he was in a good mood. He went out on the town, visitng his old haunts, chatting with friends and then went home and took them all. He laid out careful instructions for the paramedics, even providing them with rubber gloves should they be chary of touching his body.
Tony was part of the original Chicago Second City troupe -- along with Alan Arkin, Severn Darden, Barbara Harris, Eugene Trobnick and Paul Sand. He was of enormous help to a young performer named Joan Rivers when she joined the company. She had tons of ideas but was at that stage still very nervous about working before an audience. He helped he put together a sketch where she played a fashion model and he her clothign deisgner putting the last touches on a fitting. From that point on it was smooth sailing for Joan. She never forgot it.

RECIPE: Red Velvet Whoopie Pie Hearts
This year, celebrate Valentine's Day with a scrumptious whoopie pie recipe that will please any Valentine! Of course, if you don'Äôt want to bake you can always buy delicious chocolates in unique flavors like the Organic Spicy Aztec Valentine Chocolate Bar¬Ýor for something more traditional try the Godiva Dark Chocolate Truffle Heart Biscuit Gift Pack.
As a foodie and amateur baker myself, baking is my favorite thing to do and making whoopie pies is definitely one of my favorite things to make! What'Äôs not to love? To make whoopie pies even more festive, you can make them into heart shapes. There are actually two ways to make these decadent hearts. First you can trace hearts on a piece of parchment paper or you can buy a Heart Shaped Whoopie Pie Pan¬Ýto make the baking process easier! Before any baking begins, the best advice I can give everyone is have all your ingredients measured out and near you so when you start the mixing you won'Äôt be frazzled or confused. Have measuring cups out like the Nesting Owls Measuring Cups¬Ýand also don'Äôt forget your mixing bowls like the 3-Piece Stainless Steel Nesting Mixing Bowl Set.
And now for the recipe:
Red Velvet Heart Shaped Whoopie Pies
• Spray cooking spray on the whoopie pie pan so it won't stick.
If you decide to use parchment instead, take out a tray and trace hearts on it leaving at least 1 inch in between them.
• Pre-heat the oven to 350 – 375 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients together.
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
• ½ teaspoon of baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon of salt
Using an electric mixer or hand mixer combine:
• ½ cup of softened butter
• 1 cup of packed brown sugar
• Mix until the butter and sugar is light and fluffy at slow/medium speed, then slowly add:
'Ä¢¬Ý1 egg
'Ä¢¬Ý1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• After combined slowly pour in:
'Ä¢¬Ý¬Ω cup of buttermilk
• Add in the dry ingredients until everything is combined
• Turn off the mixer, use a spatula and stir in:
'Ä¢¬Ý2 tablespoons of red food coloring
'Ä¢¬ÝSpoon the batter onto the parchment paper or pan (don'Äôt fill up to the top, it will overflow and will not look pretty)
• Bake for 7-9 minutes until the cookies are set
'Ä¢¬ÝPlace the tray on a rack to cool
Cream Cheese Filling
'Ä¢¬ÝSoften one 8-ounce package of cream cheese (with a mixer or spoon)
'Ä¢¬ÝStart adding the confectioner'Äôs sugar by the tablespoon full and stop to taste the filling
'Ä¢¬ÝAdd confectioner'Äôs sugar to taste (however sweet you want it to be)
Putting it all together!
'Ä¢¬ÝTake the cooled cookies and spread the cream cheese filling into them and then put them together! Nice and easy!
Now it's time to give them to your Valentine and enjoy them together. If you try this recipe, please let me know how it turned out!
What is your favorite Valentine's Day treat?

The Adventure Rabbi Individual Study or Destination Bar and Bat Mitzvah Program is a Great Alternative for:
For Fee Schedule or if you are ready to register click here>> How the program works: Our program is coordinated by our Distance Leaning Specialist, Rabbi Evon Yakar. You will have individual monthly meetings with Rabbi Evon Yakar (based in South Lake Tahoe, California) and weekly meetings with a Hebrew tutor (arranged separately). You will learn Hebrew prayers, chant Torah, do a Social Action project, complete a Shabbat project, write a D'var Torah and learn why all this is meaningful. Then you will have a ceremony in front of your family and friends on the date and at the venue of your choosing.
What families say about this experience:
"Jake has said several times throughout the past year that his Bar Mitzvah experience was the best time of his life (his life is pretty good on a day to day basis and he knows it). He so appreciated the whole process, working with you, and the surrounding beauty of nature during the service. It was incredibly special and affected everyone involved. Our older son would have liked to do the same had we known about the program 3 years earlier.- Lauri Streeck
Sound good? Here are the details: 1. Monthly Meetings with the Rabbi: How often do we meet and where? Each month for ten months our Bar or Bat Mitzvah students meet individually with our Bar and Bat Mitzvah Distance Leaning Specialist, Rabbi Evon Yakar. The meetings can either be by Skype or by phone. (Just imagine - no more carpooling! The student just sits down in front of the computer!) What will we talk about? During these individual sessions with the Rabbi, we will discuss the meaning behind Bat and Bat Mitzvah and look at big life questions such as, "What is God and what does God have to do with me?" and, "What can Judaism teach me about being a teenager?" and, "Why am I doing all this?"
We will also talk about your Shabbat and Social Action (Tikkun Olam) Projects, (explained below), study the English of your Torah portion and create the speeches you will give at the ceremony.
Parent Involvement: We encourage parents to participate in these meetings for two reasons. First, in some cases students have an easier time talking to a rabbi they don't know if their parents are with them. (For some students this is absolutely not the case so we meet with them alone, although parents must still be in the house and checking in occasionally, for the safety of the student and rabbi.) Secondly, our hope is that after the meetings ends, your family will continue to explore the topics that have been raised, thus making this a family experience.
If it does not work well for the for parent to be on the call or at the meeting, we do recommend that you plan on ten minutes at the end of each call or meeting to check in with the Rabbi so you will feel part of the process.
About Rabbi Evon Yakar: Rabbi Evon comes to us via Skype from South Lake Tahoe, California. He specializes in youth education and is an expert at making Judaism relevant and meaningful to 12 and 13 year olds.
He is passionate about sharing Judaism with his students and loves the opportunity to personalize the program according to the interests of each of his students.
Rabbi Evon recently built a new road bike and can often be found riding the beautiful roads and trails near his home in South Lake Tahoe California. Rabbi Evon works part-time for the Adventure Rabbi Program and part time as the Rabbi at Temple Bat Yam. Rabbi Evon also loves skiing, hiking, and playing ice hockey. In his free time you can find him hiking with his wife Rachel, son Caleb, and their dog Sasha.
2. Hebrew: What Hebrew prayers will the Bar or Bat Mitzvah student learn? Our emphasis is on prayers we think every Jew should know for general Jewish living. Among other prayers such as Barchu, Shema and V'ahavtah, you will learn the full Friday night Kiddush, Kaddish (seldom taught to Bar and Bat Mitzvah kids but probably the most widely needed Jewish prayer). Students should be prepared for a serious year of Hebrew study and able to commit time to this aspect of the program. Most students meet with their tutor once a week for 10 months. View videos of the prayers here>> Required Prayers for all Students: Shehechiyanu Tallit Blessing Candle Blessing Full Friday Night Kiddush Hamotzi Barchu Shema V'ahavtah Preface to Amidah Avot G'vurot Kedusha Shema with Echad Eloheinu Blessings before and after Torah Reading Mourner's Kaddish
How about Torah? Most of our students chant or read 6 verses of Torah. But students with severe learning limitations have read as little as three. We ask for equal effort, not equal product, so some read more and others less. You will be reading from our Backpacking Torah.
What are the Hebrew requirements to get into the program? Many of our students have no Hebrew background while others have been attending Jewish Day School for years. Either way, because this is an individual program, we can make it work and we will create a program that is appropriately challenging.
How will the Bar or Bat Mitzvah student learn their Hebrew? Each student works with a private Hebrew tutor. Fees for this are not including in the basic program fee. Most students meet with their tutor once a week for 10 months. Occasionally students require 2 times a week, and others only occasional meetings. In the Boulder area, fees are generally $35-$55 an hour. Outside of Boulder they are typically $50 -$125 an hour.
How do we find a tutor? If you would prefer not to leave the comfort of your keyboard, we can recommend great tutors who will teach your student via Skype and Facetime. We also have access to a network of local tutors in Boulder and Denver. Hillels, JCCs, and synagogues are a great sources for tutors.
3. Social Action (Tikkun Olam) Project: Why does Social Action have to do with Bar or Bat Mitzvah? Becoming a Bar or Bat Mitzvah means becoming a more responsible member of the Jewish community. One of the values of our Jewish community is that as Jews, we have a mandate to help make the world a better place. Therefore, as you take on your new role in our community you will demonstrate your concern and connection through a social action (tikkun olam) project.
How many hours of work should I plan on? You will complete 10 hours of work and then write a speech explaining what you did, why you chose it and what you got out of it.
What kinds of project do we do? We prefer projects that allow Bar and Bat Mitzvah students to interact with other people, animals or nature and enable students to build relationships. We prefer that you stay always from fund raisers. Examples of Past Projects:
4. Shabbat Projects: A note from Rabbi Korngold, the Adventure Rabbi: My not so secret agenda is to introduce the Bar and Bat Mitzvah students and their families to Shabbat as meaningful part of life. Our lives are so frenetic! One of the greatest gifts Judaism has given us is the mandate to take a day off every week. I hope that when the kids are in college and are overwhelmed with life, they will look back at this year and think, "Oh Shabbat. Maybe that can help." To that end, my goal is to introduce them to a Shabbat practice that fits into their lifestyle and can enhance their lives.
How does it work? Each month for ten months you will pick some type of Shabbat observance to try out. Up to five times can be traditional activities like lighting candles, baking challah or going to synagogue. But the other five must be non-traditional activities like going skiing with your family but not complaining, eating ice cream for breakfast, or making dinner for you family. You will journal what you did and how it worked for you. You will also discuss with the Rabbi how these Shabbat experiences were for you and your family.
5. The Ceremony:
Where is the ceremony? Youare able to pick the venue that works for your family and friends. For some locations we know work well, see>> The rabbi will arrive at your ceremomy with the Torah and prayerbooks. To help you plan for the service we have great resources posted such as:
Who officiates at the ceremony? Rabbi Evon Yakar generally officiates at the ceremonies, although you may request to work with Rabbi Jamie Korngold instead.
How will we plan it? A month or two before the ceremony you will have two meetings with the officiating rabbi to plan and rehearse the ceremony.
Do we get to personalize the ceremony? Yes! We can include as many of your guests as you would like. You can even write your own prayerbook, although most families opt to use our copies of Gates of Prayer or the Adventure Rabbi nature-based prayerbook.
What is the fee for an Individual Bar or Bat Mitzvah? Fees are based on which rabbi officiates at the ceremony, and the location of the ceremony. For example, a ceremony in Israel is more expensive than one in Lake Tahoe, California. For a list of our fee schedule, please click here >>

Ceremony Information:
Does it have to be outside? As the Adventure Rabbi Program, we love hiking or skiing Bar or Bat Mitzvahs but we realize not every family can do that. View Outdoor Bar Mitzvah One Minute Video >> Or, view photos from a recent Skiing Bat Mitzvah at Copper Mountain >>
Can the Torah go outside? Because we use a paper Torah rather than a kosher parchment Torah (which might be damaged by the elements) our ceremonies can take place in any location, as accessible or adventurous as your family chooses.
What about having the Bar or Bat Mitzvah ceremony in locations other than Lake Tahoe, California? Rabbi Evon is happy to officiate at ceremonies outside of South Lake Tahoe. Obviously it costs a bit more, because it takes more of the Rabbi's time. For prices>>
Other Commonly Asked Questions: We have family members who can't hike, but we know a Bar or Bat Mitzvah that includes hiking with the Adventure Rabbi is an amazing and unique experience. Is there any way we can incorporate a little hiking? We suggest adding a hiking Friday night service that includes a hike. That way even if your Saturday service can't be on the trail because not everyone is physically capable of hiking, at least a subset of the group can enjoy that amazing experience on Friday night. We have found that the cohesive feeling created in the smaller group rapidly spreads to the entire larger group.
Can we also add a short hiking piece on Saturday? Some locations lend themselves easily to a hike preceding the main service. For example, if you have the service at Temple Bat Yam, on the summit of Flagstaff Mountain (Boulder, CO) or Chautauqua Community House (Boulder, CO) we can add a little hiking at beginning of the service that is very accessible. Those who can't hike can drive to the site and they will not miss too much. How will we get to know Rabbi Korngold if we are studying with Rabbi Evon Yakar? We encourage your family to participate in Adventure Rabbi events throughout the year so that you can build a relationship with Rabbi Korngold and our larger community. You will meet an amazing group of people, eager to find a meaningful way to experience their Judaism. In order to facilitate this we will give your Bar or Bat Mitzvah student a free membership to the Adventure Rabbi Program, a $750 value.
We also recommend reading Rabbi Korngold's books to get a sense of who she is and how she works.

The exterior still fits into the turn-of-the-last-century neighborhood, but all of the windows have been replaced with energy efficient ones.
A Corbusier chair, Fortuny pendant, Eileen Gray side table add to the mix of eras represented in this grand Victorian hallway. Lucky for Treff, this space was still in good cosmetic condition when he bought the house.
The more traditional architectural elements meet contemporary art and furnishings in the dining room.
Also, another beautiful Fortuny light graces the dining room.
In his own home, Treff chose to celebrate the seam between the original structure and the new addition, rather than trying to blend everything together.
The structural beams and columns are recycled.
The kitchen is part of the new addition.
As part of the new addition, the kitchen is outfitted with contemporary and energy-efficient materials.
The family room is part of the new addition as well. The walls of windows take advantage of the winter sun.
The renovation takes maximum advantage of natural light, as seen in this gorgeous bathroom. This house is proof that green can be gorgeous.

The Spencer County Lady Bears didn't catch many breaks last week, but they'll get one this week as they get a week off following four tough games in a six-day span that ended with a disappointing 65-36 loss to an Australian traveling team Friday night.
The girls looked ready to compete in the early going, with senior Kenisha Marshall powering inside for eight first quarter points as they battled to a 17-17 tie at the end of the first frame.
The Spencer County Bears scrapped their way to respectability last Friday facing a much older and much bigger Australian team before falling 60-49. While the loss dropped the Bears to 4-13 on the year, the solid performance came on the heels of a 53-51 win over Eminence and a 58-56 loss to North Bullitt.
On Friday, the Bears looked a little mismatched in the early going, falling behind 6-0 to the Australian team, but a three pointer by Trey Wyatt and a rebound and follow by Logan Dunbar kept it close early.
Fishermen often talk about the one that got away. The Spencer County Lady Bears and their fans left their home gym Monday night talking about the one that was taken away as the girls dropped a 51-50 tilt to visiting Shelby County following a controversial decision by the officials in the closing moments of the contest.
New year, new hope, new dreams, new possibilities, a new president who knows how the game should be played. And a classic quote and a Maybe You Missed This.
NEW. President-Elect Barack Obama: "Nothing like a good pick-up game of basketball. When everyone's passing the ball, playing together and you're making a few shots. Just makes you feel good."
OLD. Maybe you missed this: Birth of Basketball.
What a difference a year makes. Last season, Spencer County traveled down to Bardstown and took home the championship of the Nelson County holiday tournament with a senior-laden team. This year, a lineup already thin on experience grew even thinner and it showed in the early round games as the Bears continue to struggle.
The lone returning starter from last year's squad, sophomore Logan Dunbar, was sitting out three games, meaning most of those taking the floor for the Bears are seeing varsity action for the first time this season.
It's not been the holiday break the Spencer County girls may have envisioned, but the Lady Bears wound down their mid-season tournaments on a high note Monday with a big win over Bardstown that was highlighted by an individual honor.
During the win over the Lady Tigers, senior center Kenisha Marshall recorded her 1,000th point of her high school career. The bucket came at the end of a third quarter that saw the Lady Bears overcome a sluggish first half to break the game open on their way to a 57-35 victory.
The young Spencer County Bears continue to take their lumps as they struggle through a tough season, but head coach Jacob Barmore insists they're making strides, even if it's not evident in their 3-10 record.
The Bears finished up their holiday tournament action with a lopsided 102-51 loss to a quick Louisville Western team that exploited possibly the biggest weakness of the Bears – the inability to protect the basketball.
Unless the names are Jordan, Bird or James, a team that places only three players in the scoring box at the end of a game is not likely to be highly successful. That was the story for the young Bears Sunday afternoon as they struggled on offense during a 58-32 loss to Carroll County in the second round of a holiday tournament in Gallatin County.
The day before, the Bears suffered a lopsided loss to a larger, more athletic Iroquois team, 85-48, and hoped to bounce back with a better performance on Sunday.
Christmas. What would be your ultimate joy? Be Santa Claus for 24 hours? Own a mystical and bottomless sack of feel goods? Be a bearer of good tidings, raised hopes and sparkles unburdened by bail-out blues and the rest.
Maybe a one night fly-over, leave gifts practical and not, pricey and not, but most of all, dream fillers under Christmas trees. Anonymously.
If I could be the white whiskered man in a red suit, these would be my top 10 dream fillers.

Guys, banyan writes another article about China this week. Again, whenever there's something exciting ie protests and riots on earth, banyan asks when these happens in China. I guess next time there's an riots in the US Banyan's going to ask the question too.
I think China's jasmine revolution was in 1989, since then the CCP has been speeding up the reform like crazy. The Egyptians should have started their revolution earlier, then they might have a better life like us Chinese. ;)

Well, that's your view. It's not mine, brother. And until the Beijing regime allows unfettered free speech, as it is understood and practiced in, for exampe the UK, (and let's toss in freedom of assembly while we're at it) -- the Chinese media are at a distinct disadvantage in promoting a balanced perspective. That goes for world or internal trends and events.

Hello Bismarck. Maybe I missed what transpired in 2008, but today this couldn't happen for a number of reasons -- (too complex for the little time I have available)the most important being that NAFTA, essentially a trade-based alliance, is not structured, nor does it have the legal authorities or political-cultural historical context that, for example, the European Union does.

"@nkab:…………………….. The issue for the CCP is that, no matter how well intentioned the people at the top are, the actions of those on the bottom are going to eventually contaminate the system."
That's right and that's why CCP is trying to institutionalize the "accountability" and "overseeing" responsibility at all levels of government. It's not enough to say they are working on them and it takes time.
And it does take time and you can not change some bureaucratic mind set of all levels of government by a simple issue of a command or e mail.
But I'd agree with CCP approach. To catch a thief, they go right from the top, and let the media, netizens and what not to go after the irregularities and wrongdoing of lower echelon government (in addition to the nominal conduct and law enforcement already in place).
Indeed, just day before yesterday, I was somewhat shocked to learn the Minister of Railway, who made a reputation for himself in the impressive High Speed Rail development in China, was removed from the post under an investigation of graft, possibly related to his brother, a provincial railway official, who recently received a suspended death sentence for corruption.

"Dear nkab: I take at face value your assertion that it's erroneous to connect the situation and circumstances of the happenings in Egypt and Tunisia (and now several other countries)with their possible application and 'extension' to China. But why then, the 'filtering' on the mainland?"
Please spare readers that innocent look.
"filtering"? Just name me on single newspaper, agency or government who does not do "filtering" of their news (they call it "Editing" of course).
You drink "filtered" water, breath "filtered" air in office building or on public transportation. You even "filter" your resume for job interviews.
One can criticize China's inadequacy in press to be sure, but just don't do it from the altar of arrogance. There is really no "I am holier than thou" in press editing in the world: North, East, West or South, in general, in my view.
"The Chinese have the right to form their own impressions, if their impression if chaos, then that's their impression, if their impression if fighting for freedom, that's also their choice. Some people seem to have trouble understanding the difference between propaganda and analysis."
Very true.
One way or another, the Chinese government will draw lessons from what is happening in the Middle East. To ignore what's going on there is not realistic even for China. Whether they admit it publicly or not, this has to impact their thinking and planning, probably significantly. However, like everybody else, China will interpret the goings on to fit their own preconceived notion of what is and what should be.
In America, many of us think that freedom is everything. This colors our view of what is happening in Egypt. The Chinese possibly interpret this as a problem of economic opportunity, specifically the lack of it. Neither interpretation is accurate. You can't feed hunger with freedom and money isn't everything.
What will happen in Egypt as as result of this is anyone's guess. My bet is on not much tangible change. At the end of the day individuals still need to do the hard work to feed and clothe themselves. If they understand that the revolt will result in the government getting out of the way so they can rebuild for themsleves (in other words, they still have to do the heavy lifting for themselves) then all will look good for Egypt in ten years' time. If not, Egypt may lurch from one revolution to another or might see another strongman who will be allowed to "restore order".

Thank you for the above. It is a great favour you have done me and the other visitors here, in demonstrating the validity of my suggestion re collective inferiority complex. ("western propogandas shouting day and night", etc.)
As for my knowledge of China and Chinese, it certainly could be much better. But I do know about the Opium Wars, Boxer Rebellion, Sun Yat Sen, Rape of Nanking, Long March, Lin Piao, Red Guards and a heck of a lot more.

At the moment I think China is on the right track."
PL123: I can appreciate why Bismark111's posts of late have become more emotionally charged. I share his frustration.
Look, brother. Democracy is a very messy, imperfect thing. But in those countries which are the best exemplars (Canada and war-mongering Norway are in this group)... it fosters debate, discussion, and, I dare say, too infrequently, dialogue about ANYTHING in the societal domain. As a result, there is a high degree of accountability resting on the shoulders of those who occupy public office. It has been this way in my country, beginning in 1837. I hope that you would be willing to concede the point that this is clearly not the case today on mainland China.
But you certainly want to push others to believe what you believe. Exporting your ideology !!
I am not exporting an ideology, but, yes, I am an 'apologist' for democratic systems. The alternatives, (Iran, Sudan, Myamarr, North Korea, Zimbabwe ...) as I see them, are hell. .
You(western readers) must have been repetitively told that the Chinese people are all brainwashed and denied access of free media. And your believe probably gets reinforced after seeing so many angry Chinese commenters on this board. So I won't feel surprised if you're shocked and suspicious to my statements below as a Chinese living in China for 25+ year and in US for 4+ year:
1. Most Chinese people hate their government
this is the dominating sentiment you'll feel in the Chinese society today. If you could read Chinese, then check out some major Chinese web-site's comment boards, you'll feel that the Chinese are way angrier for their government, than they're for you here
2. Local media is generally controlled but a significant % of people gets its way to be exposed to western media
especially the younger generations, who are usually educated to high school level& above, experienced internet users, and can read English
3. They're more educated in democracy & human rights than you think
especially the same group as above, they get messages that democracy is better, and they know their rights are being suppressed or deprived of
Well, then why you still see angry commenter here? Several possible reasons -
Nationalism is more or less in the blood of most Chinese people
So when you say the government is bad, they'll mostly be silent; but when you say the Chinese nation is bad, they'll fight against you. Let's take Olympic as an example, if you say "the Chinese government is using the Olympic for its political aim", that's fine; but if you say "the Chinese people don't deserve the Olympic" then they're angry, especially when this is communicated by the western media who is trying too hard to sell by presenting untrue or falsified information.
That also explain why topics for China's territory conflict, independence for disputed area and ethnicity all receive bad response from Chinese commenters here
In the last couple years, the western media, Economist included, have extensively reported on how China used trade to indirectly support the dictators in Africa.
Now the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt remind everyone that the West, not China, has been the largest supporter of dictatorship in Africa.
Phoenix TV is not banned in China, I can see the most recent news about Egypt from it. I don't think I will go to Tiananmen to protest after I read the news about it. why? ccp is not that bad at all. CCTV never made the protests in Middle East its biggest topics, it seems always be timid or political correct, it it doesn't use the nasty words such as "dictator" on any toppled leaders of other countries, neither it tells us the old dictator of Egypt was the best buddy of the US, while the whole world wants chinese to know that we only have a nasty NKoreans "dictator" friend Kim. I see that's quite silly.
Here are my inputs on the all important discussion of Gini index and income inequality, and their impacts on stability.
Today's China is still more socialistic than many other developing countries. For example, Chinese can no longer be too poor to send their kids to school, because government enforces nine-year free education. Because of the free education, low income people don't need to dig deep into their pockets to pay for the education of their children. China also has other none-cash benefits to the masses, such as basic national health care, social security, subsidary to public transportation, etc. Gini index not taking into account of those none-cash benefits does exaggerate the economic disparity.
Economic disparity is more bearable in China because of no permanent poor class, because of strong social mobility. China reaches literacy of 90+ %, illiteracy among young people is either very low or eradicated. Most of young people in China see hopes in their lives, such optimism is also reflected in 87% of the population thinking the country is moving in the right direction. The situation is quite different in Egypt and Tunisia: those illiterate youth most likely don't see hopes in their future and will likely be permanently poor.
There is no class of permanent rich in China. To be permanent rich, the family has to own properties that can generate stable rents or businesses that can generate reliable profits. But in China private land ownership is not allowed, and the economy is so dynamic that no one can be sure what businesses can generate reliable profits in the future.
Entrepreneurship in a dynamic economy tends to exaggerate GINI index. Many people quit their jobs to start their own businesses. Those people tend to have years of no/low incomes, and tend to make money under-table and under-reported. Those people are not exactly in adject poverty as the GINI index would like you to believe.
GINI index not taking account of regional disparity, tends to exaggerate economic disparity. It is common that migrant worker would stay home if they can find jobs locally that pay only 50% as much as in the coastal provinces, mostly because of the lower cost of living in the less developed region. Also while the highly paid professional in big cities contribute large portion of their income towards owning a small flat, many lowly paid migrant workers already have a single house sitting pretty in their home town where the workers will retire to.
Overall, I have good reasons to believe the economic disparity in China is not nearly as bad as in Egypt or Tunisia, or as bad as suggested by the GINI index.

@PL123, Bismarck,
I was being a bit lazy when I thought of croissants and Kopi Luwak coffee. I should have spent more time thinking of more luxurious breakfast foods. Blini and caviar plus a bottle of Dom for breakfast, maybe. BTW Congee isn't so healthy, it's "white" carbs although the dishes that go with them can be quite good -- I'm talking about southeastern Chinese style congee (Taiwan, Shantou styles). I've just recently acquired a taste for those stinky salted fish, fried version...
Anyway my point was that while there are many in China who cannot afford such luxuries as the coffee brewed from the sh*ttings of cervits, they can aspire to that level of lifestyle and it does seem like an achievable aspiration unlike the situation for the people in Egypt.
I do feel deeply troubled by the problem of rising food costs affecting the poor around the world. As a father myself, I can tell you that far more important than my own hunger, I would definite go out in the sreets to protest if I cannot feed my own children. This is why I've taken the position of supporting what the CCP has been doing for the last 30 years. They've done an amazing job of fighting poverty and they are to be praised.
I am not endorsing their system by the way. I do not believe that there is a holy grail of governance -- incidentally Beijing does not believe that such a thing exists as well. People pin their hopes on democracy and I hope to Heaven that it will work for them.

Alfred McCoy's article on the decline of America is very upsetting to me. While I applaud and even cheer China on, as an American, I want to believe in a world where a strong America can coexist with a strong China peacefully. I blame Republicans for our decline, they are stupidly selfish in every way. I think back to the time when I was an expatriate in Japan and I have to say I slightly hated my time there partly because I was always considered an outsider (I even lived in the Gaijin Ghetto of Roppongi for a while). I think I like America because it's a good place. I'm confortable here. I'm at home. Americans will accept Japanese and Chinese as our own too. Most importantly my jokes are actually funny to the people around me -- no blank stares. I just hope we find our way out of this series of crises we put ourselves in. Otherwise I'm moving to China... first convert my $$ to yuan!

That said, and while corruption and abuse of power can and does happen everywhere, I do think it's fair to suggest that a system that grants authority to local officials without any accountability to the people they are supposed to be serving exacerbates the problem."
Nobody can argue against that. I hope the following helps:
As I understand it from Chinese media, one major official task of CCP administrative and political reform in 2011 is to make it further transparent and assign clearer and enforciable accountability of each official entrusted or given that certain power of authority of the job. Not an easy task across the board.
For that, CCP also reemphasized the functionality and articulated the code of conduct of "Xin (sending in letters to gripe) Fang (visit made in person to air complain) Bureau", culminating with a recent Premier Wen's high profile visit to a "Xin Fang Bureau" where he played reception host there to listen to a number of appealers randomly chosen.
"Xin-Fang Bureau" is a unique and special department existing at all levels of government of China set up to hear personal grievances of a citizen vis-a-vis matters concerning that level or branch of government.
But over the years and until recently when reforms are taking place, many Xin Fang Bureaus have become ossified and vapid as hindrance rather than help for folks seeking an appeal outside of legal court proceeding. Revitalization of the Bureau is a sign of placing greater importance on feedback from ordinary citizens.
The government also officially recognized the increasingly important role played by mass media in helping to expose unscrupulous acts or failure to act of government. 500 million netizen after all are nothing to sneeze at.
Accountability is definitely an "in" word in China's reform agenda, and that's a good outlook in my view.
It's quite ironic for the West to criticize state censorship (which might arise from benevolent intentions) when our own mass media is such a mess of deliberate misdirection/misproportion, corporate spin and mindless 'roadside carnage' journalism. Americans have to fight and struggle to learn the truth at least as hard as the Chinese.
Hmmm... Thousands of students advocating for democracy in the central square of a capital city... I wonder what the CCP would recommend Mubarak do?
Having worked throughout southeast Asia I can honestly say that the Chinese people think more like Americans than any other country in the region. They are fun loving, free thinking people who do not like government in their lives. With that my feeling is that the Chinese and American people are quite similar in their fundamental nature while their governments are very different. Taking into account my perception of the true nature of the Chinese people I think the government should be scared of an uprising.
Conscious wrote: "Indeed, in chinese (...) newspaper, the bad news or rumor on government travels (...)and the government tolerate it completely. Some time tolerate too much, (...) should have some similar law like Canada, the false news is not allowed."
My dear but ill-informed friend: Please try to wrap your head around this: in Canada, unlike some countries, there is no legal category or definition of "false news"; in fact, in a Canadian context, the concept is laughable. You see in Canada, we cherish freedom of the press and we make a conscious attempt to promote and safeguard (although not necessarily agree with) a diversity of viewpoints. Surprisingly (again to some) we also cherish (and de facto have) "peace, order and good government". Something the current regimes in Beijing and Cairo might wish to emulate?
Having ploughed through all 127 posts, and as an amateur historian and avid media watcher (I am a Canadian, if that is enlightening in any way) I've come to the considered opinion that the unbiased reader would do very well to read carefully the posts of Bismarck111. Thoughtful, extremely well-informed, and yes, like it or not, balanced.

Here be ships passing in the night.
While our faithful correspondent Rollo is making the transition from semiauto carry to revolver, yours truly has converted from revolver to semiauto.
That's for CCW. For HD it's revolver all the way. If it's down to the last stand of home defense and I absolutely must defend my castle, the 686+ loaded with .357 DPX is the best I can come up with short of the Mossberg with #1 Buck.
For street carry and CCW defense, I'm liking 18 rounds of 9mm DPX and so far the SR9c has been flawless at the range. Still, I'm saving up now for a 638 2.5in.

Environmental and Ecological Engineering, Purdue University
EEE Spotlights
Professor Zhi "George" Zhou joined the Division of Environmental and Ecological Engineering and Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University in June 2014. Currently he is teaching water and wastewater treatment processes (EEE 495/CE 497) and environmental biotechnology (CE 597) at Purdue.
Prof. Ronald Turco, who has served as director of the Purdue Water Community since its inception in spring 2011, has been selected as the new director of the Purdue Global Sustainability Institute in Discovery Park.
Five Purdue University researchers received nearly $150,000 from the Trask Innovation Fund to further develop their technologies. The innovations originate from multiple disciplines and range from water purification to a drug-delivery technology.
West Virginians suffered adverse health effects inside their homes after following plumbing-system flushing directions in response to a chemical spill last January, and these recommendations failed to consider the dangers of chemical vapor exposure, according to a new study.
Ivy Tech Community College and Purdue University's College of Engineering have signed off on a transfer agreement that creates a path for Ivy Tech pre-engineering students to continue their studies towards a bachelor's degree in one of two engineering disciplines at Purdue.

Color control of multilayer stacked white polymer light-emitting diodes using a quantum dot as an interlayer
Color tunable multilayer stacked white polymer light-emitting diodes (WPLEDs) have been developed using a quantum dot as an interlayer. Multilayer WPLEDs were fabricated by a stamp transfer printing method and the charge transport of WPLEDs could be controlled by the quantum dot interlayer. The use of the quantum dot as the interlayer shifted the color coordinate of blue/yellow stacked WPLEDs from (0.34, 0.41) to (0.41, 0.48). The electron trapping effect of the quantum dot was responsible for the color shift in the multilayer stacked WPLEDs.

text: A sanctuary for remembrance, reflection and reconciliationSt Andrew's Scots Memorial Church looks across the valley to the golden walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. The church is built beside ancient tombs on the original road to Bethlehem. The church was constructed as a memorial to Scottish soldiers who died here in World War I and was dedicated in 1930. Now the church's "living memorial" is its worshipping community - people who live out their Christian faith and values in a complex and challenging environment. The church and its garden are places for quiet reflection, open to everyone, in the midst of a busy and noisy city. Communion on Sunday is at 10am. Afterwards, worshippers are invited to tea, coffee and conversation in the lounge of St Andrew's Scottish Guesthouse next door or to buy traditional Palestinian craft goods from the Sunbula shop just off the lounge. St Andrew's is part of the Church of Scotland's commitment to the people of this land and this region. We work through partnerships with local Christian communities and with organizations and projects of all faith backgrounds. Along with our partners we invest in peace with justice. We share with them a commitment to remembrance and reconciliation. Love bears all things A word for a sacrament Ballad of the Bread Man Who's that knocking on my window?

The players are all present and correct again. We have had an amazing run without injuries. 'We have had a couple of longer term ones, which you can't legislate for, but the medical staff and fitness coaches have done a great job.

Spinning is an indoor aerobic conditioning program utilizing your own bike and a trainer. It can be done alone or with friends in the privacy of your home with a spinning DVD, or in a formal class setting. |
The only line of defense against bike thieves is a bike lock. If you're going to use your bicycle and leave it on the streets, you have to lock it properly. There is a right and wrong way to lock your bicycle. Nothing is guaranteed but doing it right will improve the odds significantly. |
A front basket on your bike is iconic, and for a reason. A basket provides easy access to your things. You won't need to get off your bike or awkwardly rummage through your shoulder bag. A stylish basket to throw your purse or wallet and keys into is one of the handiest bike accessories available. |

Bicycle mirrors fall into two categories - the type that mount on your bike and the type you mount on your head. It's important to see what's coming up behind and mirrors allow you to check by moving your eyes and not becoming unbalanced by shifting your whole body. |
Proper tire pressure lets your bike roll quickly, ride smoothly and fend off flats. Road tires typically require 80 to 130 psi, mountain tires 30 to 50 psi and hybrid tires 50 to 70 psi. Never go above or below the manufacturer's recommended pressures. See our selection of air pumps by Lezyne, Park Tool & more! |
