Audio Slideshow: Songs for a Sacred Place

A recent rehearsal of the Veterans Affairs Hospice Chorus Singers, director Mary Lewis Webb held up a small, lime green bowl. She removed the top, revealing an azure blue lining.
"Who wants to fill our bowl tonight?" Webb asked the singers, who were seated in a circle in the chapel of the White River Junction hospital, music folders on their laps.
Lin Wermager, a dark-haired alto wearing a red sweater, raised her hand.
"I'll fill the bowl tonight with this amazing energy that is in this room," Wermager said, and went on to describe the group's most recent "bedside sing" in the hospital room of Edward "Buster" Wheeler, a veteran from North Concord, Vt.
"I was so moved," said Wermager, cancer care coordinator at the VA. "The patient was calmed, the family was comforted. ... That truly is our mission." Several singers wiped away tears as she spoke.
Last month, a small group of chorus members had sung several pieces at Wheeler's bedside, including Angel Band, from one of the Wheeler's favorite movies, O Brother, Where Art Thou?
Afterward, Wheeler's wife, Darlene, told Webb that she had noticed her husband keeping time with his toes. He had appeared to settle with the music, she said, becoming more still and peaceful.
Edward Wheeler, who had stage four cancer, died the following morning following a weeklong hospice stay.
The sing was one of many the group has offered to terminally ill veterans since Webb, chaplain at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in White River Junction, created it two years ago.
Webb got the idea for a group that would sing solely for veterans after listening to a combined chorus of Vermont hospice singers at a conference. The a cappella group tries to provide comfort, relaxation, and support to dying veterans and their families, and Webb says it's important to nurture the singers as well.
For this, she uses laughter, warmth -- and chocolate.
"I want them to know they are appreciated," said Webb, who was sun-like on the cold, cloudy afternoon, wearing red lipstick, an orange linen blouse over a bright yellow top, and a necklace of colorful chunky beads.
After warming up, the group tackled a new piece, Charlie's Song, which Islene Runningdeer, a music therapist in Vermont, wrote as a tribute to a hospice patient she had cared for. The patient had been a country music songwriter.
Webb introduced the song, which ends with the words, "I don't want my songs to die with me. When I go please sing their sweet refrains. Let the words soar like birds, the poetry mark my words, don't let my songs of love die with me."
"That's what we hope when we die," Webb said, "that the good things we've done in our lifetime won't die with us."
Standing behind an electric keyboard, she played parts and shouted encouragement.
"Can you get the lead out?" the Virginia native asked, her Southern accent peeking through. "Close your eyes and see if you can hear the pitches a little better."
Webb asked the singers to stand up and sing, and laid out a few prompts in advance. "Not too sluggish," she said. "What are we singing about in that verse?"
"Love," came the answer.
"So be ready for love," she said, leaning heavily on the word, getting a laugh. "Please enjoy this. Let this song just nurture you."
They gave it a try, and Webb, singing along with the sopranos, liked the sound.
"Beautifully done," she said. "Golly!"
The 29-member chorus includes employees of the hospital, veterans and others who just love to sing. At their annual potluck celebration, two of the elder members, Lilla Willey and Alice Pierson, both of Thetford Center, were honored with the "Who I Want To Be When I Grow Up" award. The nonagenarian altos have sung with the chorus since it was created, and both were married to veterans.
Willey said she loves singing with the group, and the time spent with veterans and their families makes the rehearsing "worth it."
"I don't mean to sound smarmy, but you do feel pleased, as though it's the least you can do. You just are so grateful for their service," Willey said. "I just hope it makes them feel better."
Like Pierson, Willey also sings with the Bach Study Group in Hanover. "We're fortunate that our voices still hold together," she said.
Last week, she reflected on the hospital's willingness to have the chorus in patients' rooms.
"(The nurses and doctors) don't complain when we get in their way and we crowd in the little room," she said. "I think we're lucky to be able to do that. ... It is a joy, and I would say a privilege, to have the venue."
Pierson, a former organist and choir director, said she likes the idea of singing to people who are ill or dying. "It's just what I would like myself," she said. "I love music and I feel music. It changes my feelings."
Pierson said she enjoys rehearsing with Webb because "she is such a live wire."
"She is full of joyous energy," she said, "and sometimes we need to be exposed to that."
The bedside sings are always moving. "Sometimes it's hard not to let tears come to your eyes, but you can't do that," Pierson said. "You just concentrate on the singing."
Bedside sings, which are tailored to the veteran and his or her family, may include secular or religious songs, depending on a patient's beliefs. The chorus sings the hymn associated with the branch of the military in which the veteran served and tries to include lesser-known songs, Webb said, as familiar music often carries with it very personal connotations.
"You want some unfamiliar songs, so their spirit can rest, so their memories don't get engaged," she said. "The rhythm and the harmonies settle them in a way."
After two years of leading the group, Webb still marvels at the experience of singing for veterans who are nearing death, and their families.
"When someone is at the portal and is about to leave us, it's a sacred space," she said. "The people around that bed are very precious to them, and here they let this little group of strangers in to provide music. That's really holy. It's powerful."

Four pounds of black kale (also known as Lacinato or dinosaur kale) may take up an entire shelf of your refrigerator when fresh, but wilted it becomes the perfect amount for a family gathering. Keeping the rest of the ingredients simple leaves cleaning the kale the only major task to tackle here.
This recipe was featured as part of our Christmas Day Feast, Italian Style menu.
- 1Heat olive oil in large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook until vegetables have softened, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- 2Increase heat to medium high, add orange juice, and bring to a simmer. Add a few handfuls of kale and, as it wilts, continue to add a handful at a time, stirring constantly, until all the kale is in the pan, about 10 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until all the kale is wilted, about 2 minutes more. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

So I went to two different websites that claim to have amber ales like Alaskan Amber. The confusing part is one advertises it as an Amber Ale..makes sense Alaskan Amber. One brew shop has an Amber Ale and an German Alt beer. I went to Alaskan Brewing Co. website and said Alaskan Amber is an Alt Style Beer. ..So is it an Amber Ale or Alt style..confused.
Hi Tenchu. I've never had Alaskan Amber, so can't say. But, you could look at the BJCP style guidelines and make your own judgement, based on your tasting of the beer. What, practically speaking, confusion is this causing for you? What does it matter?
Have a link to the said kit or recipe?

International law firm Akin Gump has recruited 25 partners from Bingham McCutchen across its London, Hong Kong and Frankfurt offices. The appointment follows a series of announcements made by Akin Gump in September regarding its potential recruitment plans.
This year, 10 firms stand out due to the high number of inclusions they achieve; four are domestic firms and six are international outfits. Blake Cassels & Graydon once again leads the way in our research with more listings than any other firm, cementing its position as one of the country's pre-eminent firms. With five offices in Canada and practices across a broad range of areas McCarthy Tétrault performs very strongly, as do Stikeman Elliott and Borden Ladner Gervais. Norton Rose Fulbright is the only firm we single out whose home jurisdiction is outside Canada, indicating that in an increasingly competitive market the traditional heavyweights are still thriving, despite the demise of Heenan Blaikie. To view the full results of our research please click here.
This edition covers 35 practice areas and recognises over 1,000 individuals from 249 firms. We include two new chapters this year: asset recovery and investigations, to reflect the global trend of increased demand for specialists in these areas. We also have one retitled chapter: TMT, which combines our information technology, and telecoms and media experts. The largest chapter in our research is capital markets, with 75 individuals singled out for their first-class skills. Our life sciences and labour and employment sections recognise 60 lawyers apiece. Mining continues to be one of the largest chapters in our research with 59 experts featured, followed closely by energy, which recognises 58 individuals. We also feature four practice area overviews written by leading experts. Carlos Martins of Bersenas Jacobsen Chouest Thomson Blackburn takes an in-depth look at likely trends in the aviation sector over the next year. Mark Lichty of Blaney McMurtry analyses the key developments in insurance and reinsurance, while Carol Hitchman of Gardiner Roberts explores the recent debate over the law of utility in Canada in our patents section. Peter Pliszka of Fasken Martineau DuMoulin looks at the shifting fortunes of plaintiffs and defendants in product liability class actions. Click here to view the results of our research.
The collapse of Heenan Blaikie earlier in the year shook the Canadian legal market and has resulted in several notable changes. Leading partners headed to established firms Borden Ladner Gervais and Fasken Martineau, and a group of 14 partners – including founder Roy Heenan – started the boutique firm Gall Legge Grant & Munroe. Its demise is a stark reminder of the continuing difficulties of running a profitable law firm in the current financial climate. Some firms are struggling to find work and meet clients' expectations while legal budgets are decreasing. To read more please click here.
In our 2014 edition of Who's Who Legal: Brazil we identify the seven firms that perform most strongly in our research. Pinheiro Neto leads the way once again, achieving more listings than any other firm, followed by Veirano, which performs particuarly well in our mining and project finance sections. Mattos Filho Veiga Filho Marrey Jr e Quiroga is the outstanding firm in our capital markets research, and Machado Meyer Sendacz e Opice achieves listings across a range of areas. In addition, TozziniFreire, Demarest, and Barbosa Müssnich & Aragão all garner an impressive number of inclusions this year. To view the full results of our research please click here.
This edition covers 34 practice areas and recognises 495 individuals from 205 firms. We include three new chapters this year: corporate immigration, investigations, and sports and entertainment. We also have one retitled chapter: TMT, which combines our information technology, and telecoms and media experts. The largest chapter in our research is competition, with 41 individuals singled out for their first-class skills. A decrease in merger control cases has meant that compliance work has been making up the bulk of practices and kept the best busy. Our mergers and acquisitions section recognises 40 lawyers, who - despite some concern that the presidential elections will affect levels of activity - remain optimistic for the year ahead. Thirty-nine practitioners feature in our corporate tax chapter. Due to the complexity of the country's current corporate tax system, those with the technical skills to navigate clients through this intricate process are in high demand. We also feature two practice area overviews written by leading experts. José Luis Leite Doles of Barcellos Tucunduva provides an in-depth analysis of the banking sector, outlining the key laws and regulations affecting this area. Igor Nascimento de Souza of Souza Schneider Pugliese e Sztokfisz discusses the relevant criteria for tax planning to be considered valid in Brazil in light of the most recent case laws and doctrine. Click here to view the results of our research.
The old adage "nothing worthwhile comes easy" is highly appropriate when describing the Brazilian market. Despite the difficulty of doing business in the country, the rewards for successful stakeholders are incredibly high. If the strong level of foreign direct investment (which was some US$65 billion in 2013) continues then the need for strong legal counsel within the country will grow exponentially with it – especially if post-election pro-business reforms are implemented.

Chapter two:
Hearing his voice through the phone was like an echo of my dream. I could feel my face getting flustered. I took a deep breath, waiting for him to respond. I gulped.
"Yes, it's Zim. Listen pig-stink, I need you to do something for me." He was talking like he called all the time! I felt myself getting a little irritated. Almost like all the aggression I had from our past fights were beginning to rumble together in my head, like an earthquake that gradually builds up.
"Hold on a damn second, Zim!" I felt myself getting a little loud so I looked around real quick around my cubicle. Not only had no one seemed to have heard me, it looked like almost everyone had left for lunch. "Just what the hell are you calling me for? And what gives you the right to give me that tone? What the hell's going-" I was cut off by the robot screaming somewhere off into the background. Zim sighed into the phone agitatedly. I could picture him in my head squeezing two of his fingers on the bridge of where his nose should be with his eyes closed. I can't lie; it made me smile a little.
"Look." Zim started angrily. "If you are done with your feeble womanly blathering, I'd like to finish my request."
.. I was about to recant when my brain got stuck like a stick in a bike wheel. D-did
did he just call me womanly???? I must have been stuttering over words since so many were trying to escape my mouth at once. "Damn it, Dib! I can never talk to you when you're like this! Just come over to my house when you get off of work." he was so serious and from the sound of it out of patience. What could be bothering him so much? I just sighed and grumbled into the mouth piece. "Okay... I'll be over tonight then." Just then there was another scream from the robot. "TELL'EM TO BRING PIZZA!" Zim sighed again, but this time it was kind of cute. His voice got a lot softer, but not nicer. "And if you don't mind, could you please bring some pizza?" he seethed.
I tried not to laugh, but a piece of me felt like he was a totally different person. He acted like he'd been my best friend since childhood. Now that I think about it he kind of was. "What kind?" I asked casually like I'd done this a million times before. "The kind he can eat-" "CHOCOLATE!" the robot interrupted him. Zim groaned "Do they even make that?" he asked pleadingly. I couldn't help it; I laughed a little out loud. "I'll see what I can do."
I hung up the phone. Well that could have gone better. He was so shocked he couldn't even speak. For having such a fat head, he's so stupid. He hasn't changed at all. Maybe I shouldn't have called him at work. Oh well. My stupid little gir unit sat upside down on the couch. Of course he's calm now that I'm off the phone. I shrugged my shoulders and joined him, also upside down. "Whatcha watchin?" I mumbled to my little bot. "Scary Monkey." I grunted back. How could he always watched this? why is it still on the air??
Never mind. I had bigger things to worry about. Like how I'm going to get Dib to actually help me. We haven't spoken in years. Well I can see how it's mostly Zim's fault. I did stop going to school. I still don't see why he didn't come over anymore! Just because I dropped out doesn't mean he can't come over. I thought about the night when I broke into his house to borrow his computer. I guess he handled that pretty well for it being such a sudden intrusion. Especially since he's usually such a spaz.
I rolled off the couch and plopped onto the floor. I sat on the floor for a second before getting up. Walking into the kitchen I thought more about my actions. As the years went by on Earth I felt a little more mature, even though the earth's years were much shorter than Irk's. Shoving my gloved hands into my jacket packets, I leaned against the stove. I had planned on inviting Dib over to talk over dinner anyway. The conversation was going to be way too awkward to talk on the phone even IF Dib could have managed to talk properly. I read that humans liked to talk about the troubles of their days over their last meal before they slept. I wasn't going to eat and he wasn't going to bed, but I wanted to make the conversation as comfortable as possible. I had even looked up a recipe for earth food; a dish called spaghetti. It was simple enough and seemed to be popular so I decided to cook the slimy meat globed and acidic water noodles. The humans must have a thick stomach lining.
I grimaced as I finished the sauce and the meat. I settled all the dishes on the stove on a low temp so it'd be ready and warm when the Dib got here. I had even baked some of the spiced bread they eat with it. I laughed upon the irony that the protective oven gloves only had space for three fingers like mine. This was the only time I'd actually ever USED the stove. I avoided cooking as much as possible so not to remember the horrible life I lead on Foodcortia. I'm surprised the Dib didnt ask me a million questions about that after my return since my being kidnapped ruined his presentation on how I was a monster. I was thinking so hard about the past that when I heard the crashing noise of Gir beating his head against the window it nearly scared me out of my damn boots. I sighed and stomped back into the living room picking Gir up by his dome. "I've got to figure out what to do with YOU before the earth boy gets here..."
"Oh my fucking god, that fucking thing has to be fucking broken!" I bitched to myself about the lounge room's universal clock. It had only been two hours since Zim had called. I finally got lunch but my brain was so focused on Zim's phone call that I couldn't even think about being hungry. Why was he enveloped in my brain so badly? I just kept thinking about his skin and the way it felt in my dream. Or his eyes and the way they looked at me when I teased him. What the fuck was I going to do when I have to sit in the same room with him? it's going to take all my energy just not to stare. I let my face fall flat onto the table and let out a small groan. Just as I did I heard the door open.
"Son? Are you feeling alright?" Mother of God. Literally the LAST PERSON I wanted to talk to.
"No, Dad I don't. I think I just broke my nose on the table." I spat back. "Well then maybe you shouldn't slam your face into it. Can't blame the table, son." he must have been on lunch too. He started to dig into the fidge for something that probably didnt belong to him. He's the. Ig shit so what should care? If it wasnt for him, the workers wouldn't have the money to buy lunch anyway. At least, that's what I'm sure he thought. He sat down at a different table then me. I'm sure he wouldn't want to be caught socializing with me by choice.
"Son, why don't you go home early today? I can tell you've had a lot on your mind recently, but it's been really bad today. I'd hate for you to be distracted and get hurt during out lab today." he pulled his coat collar down just for a moment to take a bite out of the sandwich he had gotten from the fridge. I felt the incredulous face that I was making as I looked up to my father. Was he really trying to help me? Had he really noticed all of that on his own?
"R-really Dad?" I asked dumb folded. He just nodded, finished his sandwich and left without another word. I looked up at the clock. Its was only around three so i'd be clocking out almost eight hours early. I quietly stared at the time for a moment before sliding my card through the clockout and hauled ass to my car. I felt a small doze of dajavu when I thought about picking up the pizza Zim had asked for. Where the fuck was I supposed to find chocolate pizza?!
I have plenty of time before Dib shows up, but I decided to go ahead and throw Gir in his box. It was basically a empty stone block with a stuffed money and a tv screen inside. I left the block in the livingroom with me though so I could make sure he wasn't trying to get out. I started to clean the livingroom of all of Gir's trash and food. He was more like my smeet than my minion.
It was so ridiculous that I, Zim, was cleaning the house so the human could feel comfortable. At the same time, I don't want the human to think I'm a slob. How shameful that would be? Gir called out from his box. "Is the pretty boy coming over?"
I was about to holler back to him, but his words made me catch my tongue. For a human Dib was kind of pretty, even though the word was usually used for girls. I definitely didn't think Dib looked like a girl, but his slick hair and big brown eyes did make him pretty. Especially with his fair skin. As far as hideous space beasts go, Dib was quiet a sultry one. I wonder how he looks now. I haven't seen him since that night. I caught myself imagining what he could look like, but for some reason I kept thinking about his body. Ooo
what if he was taller? I felt my antenna get jittery. I was embarrassed that I thought about Dib like that, even for a moment. I patted my antenna down, trying to calm them. I'll definitely have to wear my hood while he's around now. I wouldn't know what to say if they started buzzing while we were talking. Come to think of it.... I looked down to my hoodie. I had been wearing it for a few days and I got it dirty while I was cooking. If I'm going out of my way to clean the house I might as well change my clothes. I went to pull on the end of my hoodie and pulled it up. When I pulled it over my head, that's when I heard the door knob turn.
"I.....brought the pizza."

Klingon Empire
I am going to get jumped on by lots of hardcore klinks here.... but I have to ask the question.
Why are we still encouraging Cryptic to "Complete" the Klingon Faction?
I think its time we Klinks Realize our Faction will NEVER grow to a point for Cryptic to push hard to create Klink content to grow it further. The empire my friends is dying.
I would suggest... that perhaps its time for Cryptic to End the War between the Federation and Klingons in game... Allow Klingon players to Team properly with Federation players.... Allow Klinks to Fly Fed ships and sell them new fancy klink version Fed ship skins on the Cstore. Don't let Federation players touch the Klink ships. (No Federation Captains in cannon would trade there ships for klinks)
However make it MUCH easier for players to level there Klingons. Create a new Level 1 Klink tutorial that explains the peace process... let them protect the talks from Undine or something. When the tutorial is over, allow the player to progress with what little Klingon content there is.... Or hail the Federation Mission givers and get a modified Mission giving text... but Do the EXACT same misisons. (The federation would like to request Klingon assistance in the Beta Ursa Sector... ect ect )
Boom the Klingon instanly becomes a fun faction for people to play through for pve.... We can Delete all the FvK ques and just have an ARENA que.
This might seem like sacrilege, and anti Klingon. However its not intended to be. Its time for Cryptic to Admit that they will NEVER have the time to bring the Klingon Faction to Parity with the Federation Faction. This seems to me like a fairly quick way to bring the entire player base to one side... and offer a new way to experience the game.
I will be waiting with my 20 bucks... to get my Klingon Intrepid complete with Klingon Pirate Skin....

Review: Protect your PC with ZoneAlarm Free Firewall
Fend off hackers and attackers with this popular free firewall for Windows.
ZoneAlarm Free Firewall protects your Windows PC from intrusions and online threats. It's easy to use and works alongside your antivirus and other security tools, including many other firewalls. Its Auto-Learn feature conforms to your computer use. After you've allowed your frequently used apps, ZoneAlarm mostly works in the background, only appearing when something changes, like when you install a new program -- or some hacker tries to.
To install ZoneAlarm Free Firewall, you must opt for an IE toolbar and search provider (which keeps ZoneAlarm free of charge), though they uninstall with a click; or (like us) you could simply use a different browser. ZoneAlarm's setup process includes selecting optional AUTO-LEARN and MAX SECURITY modes, and the wizard does a good job of explaining both. When done, ZoneAlarm indicated its status in its system tray icon and a main console that also offered Tools and other features.
But that's just the first step with ZoneAlarm. For a while, its security pop-ups will appear frequently, including the first time you run your programs and when your antivirus and other software updaters try to access the Internet. You can click "Allow" or "Deny," as required, and check a box to have ZoneAlarm remember your choice. After a while, the pop-ups appear less frequently, but don't get lazy and reflexively click "Allow" each time! ZoneAlarm Free Firewall is effective and easy to use.

Protecting your yard against fire
POSTED: Monday, March 18, 2013 - 4:05pm
UPDATED: Monday, March 18, 2013 - 11:14pm
Longview, TX (KETK) — As Spring approaches the conditions for grass and wildfires are growing.
With dry weather and wind gusts along with dried grass, timber, and leaves it only takes a spark for a fire to start.
Some tips on protecting your property:
- make sure your lawn equipment is properly maintained
- have a water hose or bucket of water handy if working outside (especially if you are welding)
- Design and maintain your home landscaping with wildfire safety in mind. Plant fire-resistant shrubs and trees. Ask your local plant nursery for help in choosing these types of plants.
- Use fire resistant pebbles and rocks around your home. Trim grass on a regular bases. Rack leaves and remove all dead plants and trees.
- Store flammable's away from your home. Store flammable materials, liquids, and solvents in metal containers at least 30 feet away from structures and wooden fences.

Value in recruiting
Texas is 10th nationally in recruiting expenses and first in the Big 12
The thing is, there is an ocean between the defensive tackle and where he can apply it.
"It's tough," the Honolulu Moanalua High senior said. "Because being in Hawaii it is pretty hard to get anywhere in the Mainland."
Yeah, and vice versa.
Even still, there will be visitors to Hawaii this fall. Texas is expected to be among them.
"I talked to [defensive ends coach Oscar Giles] and he said they were coming to see me a couple of times," Pagano said.
Round-trip airline tickets to Hawaii are running $986 at the moment.
Good thing Texas athletics' overall annual recruiting budget is running around $1.47 million. (Men's sports make up the lion's share of that at $989,000 and football takes up the majority of that total.) It's not the largest in the country.
Tennessee, Auburn and Notre Dame, in that order, have those honors. Texas has the 10th-largest recruiting budget and the largest in the Big 12.
So for once, maybe everything is not bigger in Texas. Still the Longhorns' recruiting budget is more than enough to do just what Texas needs to do.
Texas, by virtue of the size of the state and the bevy of recruits therein, recruits Texas. It is not burdened with restrictive travel costs such as jet fuel for a private plane every weekend. For example, the 2012 team has eight out-of-state players on it. That means slightly more than 90 percent of the players on the roster did not require the coaches to leave the state's borders. Now one is from El Paso -- M.J. McFarland -- but the rest are within a reasonable drive from Austin.
On top of that, Mack Brown, during his tenure at Texas, has signed more recruits out of Brenham, the Killeen/Temple area and Galena Park in Houston than any other spot. All are within a three-hour drive of his office.
That's not to say all the coaches have not piled on a private plane for flight when needed. They have, traveling the roughly 90 miles to Brenham to woo Malcom Brown.
Tennessee, with its $2 million-plus recruiting budget and flamboyant former coach Lane Kiffin, got a leg up a few years ago by hopping from game to game in highly recruited metro Atlanta via helicopter. The trick has become so cliche now that even Vanderbilt -- yes, Vanderbilt -- used a helicopter in recruiting in 2011. Missouri, UCLA and a handful of others have used helicopters as well.
But Texas, in a move that might be construed as at odds with its over-the-top reputation, is rather subdued when it comes to throwing money around in recruiting costs. That's not to say the Longhorns can't or won't. After all, they have the largest athletic budget in the country at $150 million. In addition, no other school produces as much combined revenue as Texas' football and basketball programs: $112 million. So the funds are there.
Texas also has a president, William Powers, who knows how valuable a marketing tool the football team has been and can be. So as long as the athletic department is fiscally solvent, he is not going to put the kibosh on any costs.
That much has been evident in the past several years as the Texas recruiting budget has started to rise. From 2010 to 2011 the recruiting budget jumped $220,000 from $1.25 million to 1.47 million. In the two previous years it fluctuated from $1.29 million in 2008 to $1.32 million in 2009.
With Texas reaching out to more and more out-of-state players in every sport, it soon could jump again. But considering Texas spends an average of $42,000 per player per year in football, making the investment on the front end in recruiting seems not just logical but critical when it comes to financial stability and sustaining success in the future.

360°, Dubai
Jumeirah Beach Hotel
United Arab Emirates
Tel: 971 4406 8769
United Arab Emirates
Tel: 971 4406 8769
Concierge.com's insider take:
The 360° bar is set on a circular platform off the coast with, as the name suggests, a 360-degree view from the Jumeirah Palm on one side round to Port Rashid. It's a seven-minute walk along the pier that connects the venue to the mainland, or take a zippy golf buggy which adds to the fun. Head straight up the steel steps to the rooftop platform rather than into the slightly claustrophobic restaurant area. Weekdays and Saturday nights see a more relaxed shisha-smoking and mint tea–imbibing crowd who hang out on white leather beanbags. Weekends (that's Thursdays and Fridays) are a different matter, as the DJ pumps up the bass and the crowd drink and dance the night away.

Sweetheart Banquet attracts hundreds in Port O'Connor (w/video)
Elena Watts
Feb. 14, 2014 at 5 p.m.
Updated Feb. 13, 2014 at 8:14 p.m.
Marriage advice
Howard Lewis, the longest married man at the event, stood to deliver a short speech to his friends:
"We were married Sept. 22, 1946, at 1 p.m. That means we have been married, as of today, 67 years, five months, 24 days and approximately nine hours by 10 p.m.- a fairly long time for a marriage that was predicted to last less than a year by all who knew us. It's been a rocky road, but I've loved every minute of it.
My advice to all who have a sweetheart here tonight: Don't let him or her get away. Get married now and get started on the best adventure of your life."
Teacher honored
2014 Port O'Connor Citizen of the Year plaque for Judy Anderson read:
"For your total commitment, hard work, initiative, enthusiasm and dedication to teaching the children of Port O'Connor for 36 years in the same classroom,
For introducing the highly successful modality math system, which has spread throughout Texas schools,
For your expertise in teaching in vacation Bible school,
May God bless you."
PORT O'CONNOR - Men in red aprons carried serving trays piled with 10-ounce charbroiled steaks at the 19th annual Sweetheart Banquet on Thursday evening.
"We recognize outstanding citizens, and there is nothing else like this in Port O'Connor," said Doyle Adams, who started the event 18 years ago with his wife, Bernice, who has since died. "We have honored important citizens who don't get much recognition, like our librarian and our EMS driver."
Also acknowledged were couples married for at least 50 years as well as the couples married the longest and shortest lengths of time.
More than 200 guests dined on steak dinners that included potatoes, green beans, salad and homemade cookies while children maneuvered push-carts stacked with cups of water and iced tea between tables.
The event, which was sponsored by First Baptist Church, was at the Port O'Connor Community Center.
After dinner, Adams named Judy Anderson the 2014 Citizen of the Year.
Anderson taught kindergarten for 19 years before she claimed her current post in first grade.
She has taught in the same Port O'Connor school classroom for 36 years.
The biggest reward is the growth the students show after only nine months, she said.
"They are babies when they come in - they can't read or write, and they don't have math skills," Anderson said. "They leave reading experts who can write two-page stories, they add and subtract, they tell time, and they count money."
Anderson said she is proud to be the daughter and mother of teachers.
Adams presented Howard and Evelyn Lewis with a gift basket for their 67 years of marriage.
"Do it now - start the biggest adventure of your life," they advised couples. "And put God in your marriage."
John and Kim Jones also received a gift for their almost two years of marriage. They were the most recently married couple attending.
"We're smitten with each other every day," Kim Jones said. "We're still on our honeymoon."
Inspiration for the event came from a church in Minneapolis, where the Adams lived before they retired to Port O'Connor.
About 50 volunteers began working on the event after Christmas, Adams said.
"We do everything ourselves," he said. "We make the tickets, print the programs, decorate the center and cook the dinner."

@MISC{McBride01first-orderunification, author = {Conor McBride}, title = {First-Order Unification by Structural Recursion}, year = {2001}}
First-order unification algorithms (Robinson, 1965) are traditionally implemented via general recursion, with separate proofs for partial correctness and termination. The latter tends to involve counting the number of unsolved variables and showing that this total decreases each time a substitution enlarges the terms. There are many such proofs in the literature, for example, (Manna & Waldinger, 1981; Paulson, 1985; Coen, 1992; Rouyer, 1992; Jaume, 1997; Bove, 1999). This paper

Browns sign QB Brandon Weeden
CLEVELAND -- Brandon Weeden's start with the Browns won't be delayed.
The rookie quarterback signed a four-year, $8.1 million contract on Tuesday, one day before he and Cleveland's other first-year players have their first practice of training camp. Only three years of Weeden's deal are guaranteed, which was thought to be a sticking point during negotiations.
Hensley: Now It's Weeden's Turn
It's now up to Brandon Weeden to break the Browns' two-decade streak of QB futility and become a franchise quarterback, Jamison Hensley writes. Blog
Weeden's signing came one day after the Browns signed running back Trent Richardson, the No. 3 overall pick in April's NFL draft, to a four-year, $20.5 million contract. Richardson's package includes a $13.3 million signing bonus.
With Weeden under contract, the Browns hope to have finally solved a decade-long puzzle at quarterback. Although coach Pat Shurmur hasn't named Weeden his starter, the 28-year-old is expected to be with the first-team offense from the first snap of camp. Cleveland has had 16 different quarterbacks start games since 1999.
The Browns selected Weeden, a former minor league pitcher, with the No. 22 overall pick in April. They had pursued a trade to move up and get Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, but instead wound up with Weeden, who beat the Heisman Trophy winner last season at Oklahoma State.
Weeden impressed Shurmur and his staff during minicamp with his strong right arm and how quickly he grasped the nuances of Cleveland's West Coast offense. The Browns believe Weeden can jumpstart a unit that scored just 213 points last season with Colt McCoy as the starting QB for 13 games.
McCoy's status remains cloudy with the Browns. He missed Cleveland's final three games last season after sustaining a concussion and then took another blow when the team drafted Weeden. It appears to be only a matter of time before the Browns trade him to a team looking for a backup.
Weeden passed for a school record 9,260 yards and 75 touchdowns in 30 career games with the Cowboys. As a senior, he passed for 4,727 yards and 37 TDs. Before college, Weeden spent five seasons pitching in the minors after being selected in the second round by the New York Yankees.

Why Obama is on top in 'sequester' battle, but could lose long-term (+video)
President Obama is working hard to clarify how sequester spending cuts will hit Americans. But many don't understand what's happening and ultimately will look to Obama for solutions.
There's no question that President Obama is beating the Republicans in public opinion on the big federal spending cuts that, on paper, are expected to take effect on Friday.
Even Republicans concede that, for now, the president's bully pulpit strategy on the "sequester" is working. He has been doing local media interviews, leaning on the governors, and holding campaign-style events around the country – including Tuesday's visit to Newport News, Va. – to highlight cuts in defense spending. And his team is flooding the zone with data aimed at sowing concern about how the cuts would affect real people. On Sunday night, the White House released numbers on the sequester's impact, state-by-state.
But the public isn't paying much attention. Despite intensive media coverage, only 27 percent of Americans say they have heard a lot about the sequester, according to a poll released last week by the Pew Research Center and USA Today. In addition, not surprisingly, most Americans don't understand the sequester. When asked what it is, only 36 percent of Americans selected the right answer, a recent poll by The Hill newspaper found.
So in fact, Mr. Obama bears some risk – especially as time goes on.
"I think he wins short term, but danger mounts over time," says Cal Jillson, a political scientist at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. "There's only one president, and he will be the focus of people's attention if a satisfactory resolution is not eventually reached."

Thank You for Supporting the
Jack Roth Rock'n'Run!
Your participation in the 9th Annual Jack Roth Rock'n'Run benefits the Jack Roth Fund which was created to support research and treatment for lung cancer at the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard Solove Research Center at The Ohio State University and Camp Netaim, a program in Israel to benefit children with special needs. To date, the Rock'n'Run has raised more than $750,000 in support of the Jack Roth Fund.
Getting started is easy!
Jack Roth
Jack Roth was a pillar of strength for those around him and provided a unique role model for doing what was right. Jack was truly a rare human being who managed to touch the lives of so many people from different walks of life. He was an avid runner, enjoyed music and was particularly passionate about helping those in need. Diagnosed with lung cancer in March 2004, he waged a valiant nine-month battle against the disease, but lost the fight at the age of 57.
The Jack Roth Rock'n'Run
The Rock'n'Run was originally established in 2006 to honor Jack Roth and his courageous battle against cancer and to benefit the Jack Roth Fund, which is dedicated to Jack's spirit, passion, and ideals. The race combines those interests and ideals that were most important to Jack and provides an opportunity for family, friends, and local competitive runners to come together to honor Jack, to celebrate, and to contribute to some of the things that were dearest to him.
The run/walk will be held on Sunday, June 8, 2014 at 9:00 am in Bexley, Ohio, with the start/finish at Bexley High School. The 5K course, designed and timed by Premier Races, is open to participants of all ages and prizes are awarded to the top three racers in each age category. Following the race, we invite kids to participate in Max's Track Dash. We had more than 450 runners and walkers participate in 2013, and we anticipate an even greater number this year.
