Local makes UM honor roll
One local student was listed on the Chancellor's Honor Roll at the University of Mississippi for the Spring 2011 semester. For the honor, a grade-point average of from 3.75 through 4.0 is required of full-time students carrying at least 12 semester hours.
Ann Clark Gannaway of Tunica was among the Chancellor's List honorees.
When it chartered The University of Mississippi on February 24, 1844, the Mississippi Legislature laid the foundation for public higher education in the state. The university opened its doors to 80 students four years later, and for 23 years it was Mississippi's only public institution of higher learning. For 110 years, it was the state's only comprehensive university.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Chance meeting recalls old kick at the can
Recently some friends invited me out for lunch at the Dufferin Seniors Centre.
Every Wednesday they have a noon-hour perogy lunch. Fresh, home-made soup and perogies. All you can eat for seven bucks, eight for non-members. They also have coffee, tea, juice and cake for dessert.
All the cooking and serving is done by volunteers. In my opinion it's the best soup and perogies in town and good fellowship at a very reasonable price. Sitting down with my friends I was introduced to the others at our table, one of the women was named Nancy.
After the introductions Nancy asked, "Buffie? There used to be some Buffies on the street where I grew up."
I asked her what street she grew up on and she told me it was Alfred.
Wow! That took me back over 60 years when I also lived on Alfred Avenue. Nancy lived on the next block. In the evenings we used to play on the corner, illuminated by an overhead street light. One of the games we played was kick the can. I can't remember exactly how the game was played but it involved kicking a tin can and then running. I believe around the four corners.
During the game one night I gave the can a terrific kick and it it hit Nancy in the face just over her lip, cutting her badly.
With blood streaming down her face, Nancy ran sobbing home and we all dispersed. Even though it was a freak accident I knew what to expect when Nancy's father came looking for the source of her injury. A good hard, swift kick in the pants.
Shortly after,we moved away and this was the first time I'd seen Nancy since.
As I related the story to my friends Nancy put her finger to her upper lip and ruefully said, "I've still got the scar."

The history stems from the individual who, in the early part of the 20th century, augmented the natural hardwood forest by planting pines. Frank O. Lowden (1861-1943), Illinois' governor from 1917-1921, ardently embraced proper land use and strongly believed in reforestation as a way to retard soil erosion.

Child side of estrangement- for Dorrie
Dorrie, I too have been watching what is going on with the parents' thread. Although it pains me (I cannot imagine not having boop-boop in my life on a daily basis, although he's only 8), I have to say, I am on the other side of the issue too. I have been down the road of divorced parents, with an alcoholic mother (sober and recovering for more than a score of years (28, I think)), stormy relationships, therapy, and now, as an adult with a child of my own, see how well meaning parents (that includes me, but read human here!) can still influence our lives poorly. I figured out four of five years ago, I really wanted my mother's approval. She never has given it. Even after finding my centered life, I'm much happier and healthier, I stood up to her and told her I need for her to say she approved of things I did sometimes. She flatly told me she couldn't do it. And I believe her. She doesn't know how. She was never taught that thought process. Yet, my mother visits her dying mother in a home on an on-going basis and frequently walks away disappointed she cannot get her mother's approval before she dies. It tears her up to no end. They fight about it in different ways every time they see each other. Literally. I find it mind boggling, well, and pitiful! But she can't see that her mother is incapable of accepting because her mother never accepted her and does not have the ability to do so. More importantly, my grandmother is disapproving to her in the same way my mother is to me. If she can't stand it, why does she do it? So our relationship is surface only; we're friends. Good friends, but friends. I want her to be there for me in ways only a mother can, and she can't. Accepting my mom will never be a true mom to me, hurts to the core. I think to myself, if it was me, I'd go to the ends of the Earth for my boop!, why won't she do it fo me? So we drift farther and farther apart, even though neither of us wants it. I love her and I'll accept her, but that won't give me what I want and deserve.
What's your story Dorrie?
Here is a link that might be useful: estranged parents thread
What you said "It's heartbreaking, it can't be fixed unless all parties want it fixed and are willing to change." is all the heart to all relationship estrangement. Doesn't make it hurt any less, parent or child. I guess what needs to be minded, personality disorders, addictions, etc. make people less. Less than the afflicted party wants to be also, not just the offended side. In the end, we're all human.
I'm estranged with my family, my parents were abusive and when they kicked me out of the house I finally realized that life wasn't supposed to be like that. My brother and I have never gotten along, and his wife is a real tool, so we never talk. I was close to my grandparents but my grandma told me the problems with my mother, her daughter, were my fault and I needed to be a better daughter. Now, years later, I've recently talked to a cousin who told me that my grandparents realized that it wasn't my fault that my parents screwed up but I don't know what to do. Should I try to see my grandparents? I'm so afraid of being hurt and heart-broken I don't know how much more pain I can take so is it worth it, any thoughts or advise would be appreciated.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
02 Jan 2005 19:17 GMT
An unidentified group fired a heavy barrage of mortar fire late on Sunday at both consulates. British troops raced to the scene and fired at the source of the shelling.
No casualties or damage have yet been reported.
The mortar attack in Basra comes at the conclusion of a particularly bloody day which saw the killing of 25 Iraqi guardsmen, marking the deadliest attack of its kind in nearly four months.
Iraqi journalist Usama al-Samarrai, quoting official sources, told Aljazeera that a bus was transporting 25 guardsmen and they were all killed in Sunday's attack.
The blast, which was caused by a car bomb, took place near the Iraqi National Guard (ING) headquarters close to the US military base in Balad, 60km north of Baghdad, he said.
Frequent occurrence
Al-Samarrai described the explosion as very loud, adding that its impact left a large crater on the road.
Attacks of this kind are occurring frequently as the 30 January election date draws near, he said, pointing out that another car-bombing took place barely a few days ago killing many Iraqi policemen in the Salah al-Din governorate.
Iraqi guardsmen are regarded byanti-US fighters as collaboratorsHe said ING headquarters and US military bases are under daily assault, with attendant loss of lives.
Iraqi guardsmen are regarded byanti-US fighters as collaborators
Also on Sunday, in Baghdad city, a US Humvee was destroyed when fighters launched a rocket-propelled grenade attack at a US military patrol in a southwestern suburb.
And in al-Kadhimiya area, northeast of the capital, an Iraqi guardsman was killed by anti-government fighters.
In other developments, a fire broke out at an oil pipeline when an explosive device, planted by unidentified men, went off in al-Fatha area, north of Baiji city.
And in Kirkuk, a number of Westerners were injured when an explosive device targeted their car in al-Sinai (industrial) neighbourhood, north of the city.
Oil installations in remote areasare highly vulnerable to attacksEarlier, Master Sergeant Robert Powell, a US military spokesman in Tikrit, said 18 Iraqi guardsmen, one Iraqi civilian and the driver of the vehicle were dead and 11 more guardsmen wounded.
Oil installations in remote areasare highly vulnerable to attacks
Sunday's attack was the most lethal in four months. In September 2004, at least 47 people were killed outside a Baghdad police station. Fighters have killed hundreds of security forces members since the US-led invasion in 2003, prompting many Iraqis to wonder how police and guardsmen will be able to protect voters when they can barely protect themselves.
US and interim Iraqi government officials ushered in the New Year with warnings of a spike in pre-election assaults by groups trying to drive out US-led forces and topple Iraq's Washington-backed government.

interesting study here on how the pendulum of teen self-esteem may have
swung too far, producing an overconfidence that is out of sync with the
reality of real world challenges.
I won't argue with the findings of the study, but don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water. While the findings might ring true in the broad culture, to ignore the fact that many teens have significant struggles with self-esteem, and that these struggles often lead to destructive behaviors that have negative consequences into adulthood, would be a huge mistake.
Wise parents will view their kids individually and uniquely and work to instill a healthy, balanced sense of self-esteem in them.
Today's American high school students are far likelier than those in the 1970s to believe they'll make outstanding spouses, parents and workers, new research shows.
They're also much more likely to claim they are "A" students with high IQs -- even though other research shows that today's students do less homework than their counterparts did in the 1970s.
The findings, published in the November issue of Psychological Science, support the idea that the "self-esteem" movement popular among today's parents and teachers may have gone too far, the study's co-author said.
"What this shows is that confidence has crossed over into overconfidence," said Jean Twenge, an associate professor of psychology at San Diego State University.
She believes that decades of relentless, uncritical boosterism by parents and school systems may be producing a generation of kids with expectations that are out of sync with the challenges of the real world.
"High school students' responses have crossed over into a really unrealistic realm, with three-fourths of them expecting performance that's effectively in the top 20 percent," Twenge said.
Compared to their counterparts from the '70s, today's youth tended to rate themselves as more intelligent and were more likely to say they were "completely satisfied" with themselves.

Customer reviews are a classic form of social media. And they can help you in more ways than you think.
Last week my colleague Shane Atchison and I attended the Bazaarvoice user conference in Austin, Texas. Bazaarvoice started as a company offering ratings and reviews technology for Web sites, but it now has other offerings and helps clients evolve in other key uses of social media to connect to customers and prospects.
Bazaarvoice was founded by Brett Hurt (a founder from Web analytics tool Coremetrics) and quickly added industry expert Sam Decker (formerly with Dell). Both men understand what it takes to successfully maximize an online e-commerce site.
People shared some interesting stories about leveraging ratings and reviews from customers to maximize their conversion, online and offline. The key to each application is its potential to increase conversion rates and better communicate with customers and prospects. While not all applications are for every company, there are potential lessons in each.
A review's natural impact (and it's significant) is that having one next to a product online will help prospects make a selection they will be happy with. Some of the other applications people shared last week deliver a significant, measureable impact to their businesses. Here are some of those applications:
As you can see, there's much more to reviews on your site than simply getting other online visitors to convert online. Sure, a lot of social media initiatives can be considered failures. But when you step back and define goals and identify a strategy based on impact to you and your customers and prospects, the rewards can be significant and often have benefits that are far greater and more expansive than what you may initially consider.
Don't get caught up in every new technology or fad, but dig into what will really help your customers and prospects based on your business goals. Then determine the best way to tackle that opportunity: set targets, goals, and a strategy to accomplish!

The CIA's web site has a Freedom Of Information section to search declassified documents from the spy agency. In the last 2 months here are the top 5 search keywords people have entered into their site:
May, 2007:
ufo: 1782
0001156395: 1625
bay of pigs: 950
cuba: 634
vietnam: 547
April, 2007:
bay of pigs: 1124
ufo: 1064
iran: 682
vietnam: 588
soviet: 412
As you can see (unless you're color blind), i've highlighted 'UFO'. Are people so daft as to think that they're going to post the 'good stuff' online? Gimme a break
From spot checking the UFO reports myself (looks like 'Flying Saucer' was more popular back in the 50's), they all pretty much run along the lines of this one from 1952:
I've found some really cool stuff though, completely unrelated to UFOs, will report here later. Some of it is stuff that was formerly Soviet Top Secret which was translated, shared within the US intelligence community and is now declassified under our own rules! How cool is that!

A plan to set up three fresh fish retail outlets in Mangalore last year by the Karnataka Fisheries Development Corporation (KFDC) was abandoned owing to opposition by fisherwomen. The KFDC will now concentrate on setting up outlets in interior locations, V.K. Shetty, Managing Director of KFDC has said.
He said: "We will not open any outlet in Mangalore. The reason is the opposition from fisherwomen who said that the retail stores would affect their business. Now, we are focusing on starting outlets in interior areas."
The KFDC has 12 such retail outlets in the State. It opened 10 stalls this year on B.C. Road, at Bantwal, Puttur, Sullia, Theerthahalli, Tumkur, Hassan, Kolar and in Kodagu.
It has invested Rs.1.2 crore to refurbish the outlet in Bangalore (at Cubbon Park), Mr. Shetty said.
Vasudev Boloor, general secretary of the National Fish Workers' Forum, said: "Fisherwomen protested against the retail outlets. That is the only reason the setting up of the other retail outlets has been halted."
Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) president G.G. Mohandas Prabhu said that fisherwomen had maintained that the retail outlets directly affected their livelihoods as sales had dipped. Even those selling fresh fish in the city's residential areas had suffered.
The Chilimbi retail outlet gets nearly 90 buyers each day and 150 on weekends, according to sources in the outlet.
Mr. Shetty put its business at Rs. 30,000 a day.
Pricing, hygiene and sanitation, and service were the convenience that customers expected at retail outlets, said Giridhar G Prabhu, proprietor, Achal Industries, and former president of Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Ramachandar Baikampady, former president of the Karnataka Fisheries Development Corporation, (KFDC), however blamed "lack of interest" among those concerned to open fish retail outlets at Kankanady, Jeppu, Car Street Hampankatta and Kavoor, the places identified for them. Setting up of one retail shop was not enough, he said.
Fresh fish reached the Chilimbi outlet within two hours, cut, cleaned and packed. Even at an upmarket mall in the city, the price of fish was 30 per cent higher than that at the Chilimbi retail outlet, he added.
Keywords: KFDC, Fisheries development, Sales outlets

Adam's Major Challenge in a Nutshell
The MAJOR goal of "the law" is not justice, fairness, or constitutional protections. That is because "the law" consists of nothing more than judge-made decisions that reflect the desires of the politicians and lawyers who own the legal system.
Adam's task is not merely to successfully challenge D.C's second amendment law, but also to successfully challenge the politically charged legal system.
