Kentucky project place
Fish ponds, chicken coops and wooded trails are just a start for this family.
Built with family in mind
Kevin and Pauletta Davis, shown here with children Mallory, 5, Dennison, 2, and Micah, 13, live on 120 acres near Inez, Kentucky. The acreage bordered some reclaimed coal mining land, and it needed a lot of work. The Davis family rolled up their sleeves, and have a beautiful home to show for their efforts. Now the kids have a place to raise animals, go fishing and swimming, take hikes in the woods, and just enjoy living in the country.

Nikon Steals Canon 5D MK II Footage For D800 Promo Video. *Update*
According to Steve's Digicams, Nikon has committed the ultimate photography sin. They used stolen Canon 5D MK II footage to promo the new Nikon D800. In fact they used about ten seconds of footage shot with other cameras. It has been confirmed that at least some of the footage was shot by TSO Photography and The Art Of Flight footage, shot with a Phantom. Here is a rip from the article.

If I have the following interfaces and a class that implements them -
IBase = Interface ['{82F1F81A-A408-448B-A194-DCED9A7E4FF7}']
IDerived = Interface(IBase) ['{A0313EBE-C50D-4857-B324-8C0670C8252A}']
TImplementation = Class(TInterfacedObject, IDerived)
The following code prints 'Bad!' -
Procedure Test;
A : IDerived;
A := TImplementation.Create As IDerived;
If Supports (A, IBase) Then
WriteLn ('Good!')
WriteLn ('Bad!');
This is a little annoying but understandable. Supports can't cast to IBase because IBase is not in the list of GUIDs that TImplementation supports. It can be fixed by changing the declaration to -
TImplementation = Class(TInterfacedObject, IDerived, IBase)
Yet even without doing that I already know that A implements IBase because A is an IDerived and an IDerived is an IBase. So if I leave out the check I can cast A and everything will be fine -
Procedure Test;
A : IDerived;
B : IBase;
A := TImplementation.Create As IDerived;
B := IBase(A);
//Can now successfully call any of B's methods
But we come across a problem when we start putting IBases into a generic container - TInterfaceList for example. It can only hold IInterfaces so we have to do some casting.
Procedure Test2;
A : IDerived;
B : IBase;
List : TInterfaceList;
A := TImplementation.Create As IDerived;
B := IBase(A);
List := TInterfaceList.Create;
Assert (Supports (List[0], IBase)); //This assertion fails
IBase(List[0]).DoWhatever; //Assuming I declared DoWhatever in IBase, this works fine, but it is not type-safe
I would very much like to have some sort of assertion to catch any mismatched types - this sort of thing can be done with objects using the Is operator, but that doesn't work for interfaces. For various reasons, I don't want to explicitly add IBase to the list of supported interfaces. Is there any way I can write TImplementation and the assertion in such a way that it will evaluate to true iff hard-casting IBase(List[0]) is a safe thing to do?
As it came up in the one of the answers, I'm adding the two major reasons I do not want to add IBase to the list of interfaces that TImplementation implements.
Firstly, it doesn't actually solve the problem. If, in Test2, the expression:
Supports (List[0], IBase)
returns true, this does not mean it is safe to perform a hard-cast. QueryInterface may return a different pointer to satisfy the requested interface. For example, if TImplementation explicitly implements both IBase and IDerived (and IInterface), then the assertion will pass successfully:
Assert (Supports (List[0], IBase)); //Passes, List[0] does implement IBase
But imagine that somebody mistakenly adds an item to the list as an IInterface
List.Add(Item As IInterface);
The assertion still passes - the item still implements IBase, but the reference added to the list is an IInterface only - hard-casting it to an IBase would not produce anything sensible, so the assertion isn't sufficient in checking whether the following hard-cast is safe. The only way that's guaranteed to work would be to use an as-cast or supports:
(List[0] As IBase).DoWhatever;
But this is a frustrating performance cost, as it is intended to be the responsibility of the code adding items to the list to ensure they are of the type IBase - we should be able to assume this (hence the assertion to catch if this assumption is false). The assertion isn't even necessary, except to catch later mistakes if anyone changes some of the types. The original code this problem comes from is also fairly performance critical, so a performance cost that achieves little (it still only catches mismatched types at run-time, but without the possibility to compile a faster release build) is something I'd rather avoid.
The second reason is I want to be able to compare references for equality, but this can't be done if the same implementation object is held by different references with different VMT offsets.
Edit 2: Expanded the above edit with an example.
Edit 3: Note: The question is how can I formulate the assertion so that the hard-cast is safe iff the assertion passes, not how to avoid the hard-cast. There are ways to do the hard-cast step differently, or to avoid it completely, but if there is a runtime performance cost, I can't use them. I want all the cost of checking within the assertion so that it can be compiled out later.
Having said that, if someone can avoid the problem altogether with no performance cost and no type-checking danger that would be great!

Oral Care Protocol for Preventing Ventilator- Associated Pneumonia (VAP)
- Full Text View

- No Study Results Posted

- How to Read a Study Record
The Nosocomial Pneumonia remains to be a major complication for patients who were incubated with ventilation. Most cases are attributed to increased bacteria flora in oropharyngeal secretion and aspiration of those organisms. Research indicates that the Gram-Negative Bacteria grows in upper air way and trachea rapidly during the initial 2-4 hospital days and the dental plague also increased dramatically at the first 5 days. About 50% cases with prolonged intubation experienced temporal swallowing disorders and majority of them recovered 7 days post weaning. Some evidence exist suggesting that oral care could reduce bacterial flora, prevent aspiration, and subsequently decrease the incidence of ventilation-associated pneumonia for this group of high risk patients.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a standardized oral care protocol in improving oral hygiene and reducing the incidence of pneumonia on a sample of surgical patients at intensive care unit.

The effect of rainfall intensity, electric field strengths, alternating and both polarities of direct voltage as well as the velocity of a transverse wind on the corona-induced vibration of an ACSR conductor were studied. The results showed that the amplitude of the vibration was linearly proportional to the intensity of precipitation up to 24 mm/h. When the intensity of precipitation was higher than 24 mm/h, the amplitude of the vibration remained constant. At a constant intensity of precipitation and a steady vibration, the amplitude of the vibration was generally highest with negative DC fields and lowest with AC fields. Moreover, the corona current contained a relatively constant component and a pulsating component

Tummy Troubles
If you're thinkin' you don't look as good in your bikini as
you did a few days ago, that might be some period-related bloating. You could
also have either diarrhea or constipation, cramps, and nausea. Some chicas
start craving specific foods and eating a li'l more than usual, too, so be
careful that you keep snackin' on healthy things.
You're not a drama queen, but you've been feelin' pretty
weepy the past few days. That's probably a sign that your period is right
around the corner. You could also be more irritated than usual or have trouble
sleeping. And in severe cases, gals have trouble remembering things and
concentrating in the days leading up to their periods.
Skin Issues
Extra acne tends to pop out on your face when your period
shows up because your hormones are goin' wild. You could also get some cold
sores and sometimes swelling in your face, hands, and feet. If your boobs hurt
a bit and are tender, that's normal, too.
Problem City
In general, you might just feel more tired and achy before
your period hits. You could have headaches, too. And if you have any other
issues, like asthma or allergies, they might be a li'l worse than usual.
Periods are never
fun, but we all get 'em, girls. So what do you do to keep your spirits up when
that time of the month rolls around?

move seat
Posted by: angstrom on Apr-08-13 8:52 AM (EST)
I'd try changing the seat position first. I've got a solo set up to be trim with an 80-pound dog in front of me, and it works fine for the paddling we do.
One disadvantage is that you're not at the pivot point, and your maneuvering strokes will be different. But I'd rather deal with that than carry ballast and be even heavier.
It might make sense to get a second seat & set of hangers instead of trying to modify the originals. That way it's easy to swap back to the original configuration.

NFL May Move Up L.A.

Upcoming Conferences and Events
Published March 2, 1998
NHL: Although Steve Stavro and the Maple Leafs "have scored" with the deal to buy the Raptors and Air Canada Centre, the franchise's "biggest win might come if they gain control of Union Station." The station, which the Leafs plan to acquire to act as a "grand entrance" to Air Canada Centre, is the country's largest transportation hub and a property with "huge development potential and prospects for massive profits" (TORONTO STAR, 2/28)....The NHL reportedly spent $120,000 investigating the new Islanders' owners before approving the team's sale. Former Owner John Pickett "is responsible" for the payment (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 3/1). NFL: The Nashville Sports Authority said the Oilers have sold 42,200 of 56,485 PSLs for their new facility in Nashville. The sales have raised "about" $58.9M of the $71M earmarked to help finance the facility's construction (Memphis COMMERCIAL APPEAL, 3/1)....The loss of the Browns and the return of the franchise in '99 were examined by CNN/SI's Vince Cellini on "Page 1." Cellini noted that Cleveland wants an expansion team, not a relocated one. NFL Exec VP/League Football Development Roger Goodell: "We think at this stage that we're moving in a direction that would allow us to go to the membership and seek approval for an expansion franchise so that we can put an expansion franchise in Cleveland for '99" (CNN, 2/28). USA TODAY's Gordon Forbes reports that the NFL "will soon evaluate as many as six prospective ownership groups for its new Cleveland franchise. It hopes to have personnel and marketing people in place by mid-April" (USA TODAY, 3/2). OTHERS: In N.Y., Murray Chass reported that the Braves, who hold spring training at the new Disney baseball complex, are "believed to have become the first team" to charge fans to watch workouts before the exhibition season began. Disney officials said the $8 fee was "general admission for the entire sports complex" (N.Y. TIMES, 3/1).

How To Cook Like a Syrian: Making My Mother's Matbucha
I never wanted to learn to make my mother's matbucha, a savory eggplant salad–until I became a mom-to-be
When Irv and I faced each other under the chuppah three years ago, I thought about my role as his wife. I was ready to assume some of the responsibilities that came with the title "Mrs."—like standing in synagogue when Irv went up to the Torah, and visiting the mikveh every month. But I didn't want to put on the pink, frilly apron my friends gave me at my bridal shower and spend hours doing what my mother called "kitchen duty."
Cooking, my mother taught me, was an essential part of being a Syrian Jewish wife. But as a new bride, I discovered a secret life beyond the kitchen—a life my mother never told me about. Instead of schlepping home bags from Syrian grocers in Brooklyn, I spent my evenings with girlfriends at happy hour in Manhattan and ordered takeout dinners on Seamless.com. Irv encouraged my rebellious behavior, excited to have an adventurous and independent woman on his arm.
And he still got the home-cooked meals that men have long come to expect from their Syrian Jewish wives. He just got them from my mother. Whenever I would visit, she would drop a jar of her savory matbucha, the warm tomato and eggplant salad that's central to Syrian cuisine, into my bag. "For your husband," she'd tell me, her tone implicitly disapproving of the fact that I hadn't cooked it myself, the way a proper Syrian wife would. "Irv loves matbucha." When I'd get home, Irv would twist off the cap and dunk a tablespoon into the chunky red mix. "Mmm," he'd say with total sincerity, hoping his independent wife might at least take the time to use the kitchen once in a while. "I can't wait for you to cook like your mom."
Before he met my mother, Irv's Lebanese taste buds only sampled store-bought matbucha. It lacked the freshness and authenticity of matbucha cooked in a Syrian kitchen, and so my mother's won over his heart. As he ate every last bite, I would think to myself: I love eating it, too, but there's no way I'm going to cook it—sautéing eggplant, peppers, and crushed tomatoes until our apartment smells of matbucha.
But that all changed eight months ago, as I watched two pink lines spread across the screen of a home pregnancy test. I had weaseled my way out of cooking for Irv, but my baby squirmed inside whenever my mother slipped matbucha into my purse. The little Syrian Jew inside me wanted my mother's cooking, just like its dad. And this time I couldn't say no.
I loved growing up in Brooklyn, just blocks from where my great-grandparents settled after leaving Aleppo in the early 1900s. I loved Friday nights—a time of relaxation for my three siblings and me in our Modern Orthodox home. I loved the smell of warm white rice and lemony grape leaves that my mother made every Shabbat. I loved fighting for the seat next to my dad at the head of the table. Sometimes I wondered if my mother felt neglected, but she would get her time with me soon afterward.
I hated that part.
Once the six of us finished eating and the ceramic plates were littered with olive pits and challah crumbs and smeared with matbucha, my brothers and my dad headed to the couch. My sister and I followed my mom to the kitchen. We scooped leftover chunks of matbucha from small glass bowls into Tupperware and stacked the crusty dishes by the sink. My mother scrubbed them clean, her gold bangles clanking together as her arms moved back and forth. Her cooked salad defined our Shabbat table—as it did for many holidays and family gatherings—but it made for a miserable cleanup. Kitchen duty, I decided from a young age, was not for me.
And it didn't have to be. My mother flipped pancakes on weekday mornings, packed turkey sandwiches on pita bread for me to take for lunch, and had lentil soup waiting for dinner. By the time I started college, I'd never even boiled a pot of pasta. And when I left her house to become Irv's wife, my prayers under the chuppah were answered. Now my mother cooked for both me and my husband. And any guilt I felt for disappointing her—or Irv—quickly disappeared as I got to enjoy both her food and my freedom.
I knew one day she would cook for my children, too—and happily, too, as their grandmother. But the thought of that eventually caused me tremendous guilt. What kind of mother would I be if I didn't provide the comfort of homemade meals, the warmth that Syrian cooking aromas brought to the home?
The Syrian Jewish community, which numbers more than 60,000 in Brooklyn alone, holds on to a past over 5,000 miles and 100 years away. When the first immigrants moved from communal villages in Aleppo to Manhattan's Lower East Side in 1919, their olive-colored skin, Arabic language, and spicy, tangy foods set them apart from the Eastern European Jews who lived in the neighborhood. The Syrians adopted Western dress, learned English, and settled on Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn. But one aspect of Aleppan life—food—stayed the same. For my family, this meant matbucha. Savta Elana, my grandmother, fried the eggplant, while my mother baked it, but either way, the red salad always had its spot on the table.
I needed matbucha to have a spot on my own table. The future of my people—the future of my marriage and my Jewish child-to-be—depended on it. I called my mother and asked for her recipe. She proudly listed the ingredients.
Friday afternoon was not the best time to start.
I had attempted to make my mother's matbucha for Shabbat, but so far all I had was a stovetop splattered with tomato sauce, and frizzy hair that reeked of fried onions. I left the high flame unsupervised and the tomatoes burnt into solid, black crisp on the bottom of the pan.
With three hours to go until candle lighting, I knew my mother's matbucha was already garnished with a couple of parsley sprigs and ready to grace her table. I looked over at the sliced eggplant rounds about to become part of my experiment, their slimy juices absorbed by a paper towel underneath them. As I heard the crackling of a burning onion and I watched smoke rise from the pan, I realized that tradition had stopped cold in my home. I wondered why my mother's kitchen never resembled my own at the moment. And how come her hair never smelled like onions? I dialed my mother.
"Boil some cinnamon, Paulette," she said, her favorite trick for cutting down on kitchen odors. "Who sautés an onion without it?"
Continue reading: Advice from Mom
I filled a pot with water and ground cinnamon and waited for the sweet scent to mask my failure. I pulled a Tupperware of my mom's matbucha from the freezer. It would defrost just in time for Irv's arrival. I felt relieved I hadn't told him what I set out to do that day. At least only I knew how dire the situation had become. As I lit the candles that night, I prayed I would find fulfillment from kitchen duty. My cabinets overflowed with my mother's Tupperware, and I feared she would soon send me home with baby food, too.
The following Thursday, I decided to trek back to my mother's home, where I knew she would already be preparing for Shabbat. As I turned onto her block, she waved from the porch and blew kisses like she used to when I stepped off the school bus. I followed her through the living room where she once spent evenings helping me with homework, through the dining room where we lit Shabbat candles together, and into the kitchen where she taught my siblings and me a new vocabulary word over breakfast each morning.
"Let's begin," she said. Her bangles clanked together as she tossed me an apron.
We spent the next few hours dicing and stirring eggplants and tomatoes into her masterpiece. She gets so much joy from this, I thought. Joy from cooking, but also joy that I need her even as a grown, married woman. It's how she raised me. I looked down at my baby bump and hoped I would do the same. I might not ever be the perfect Syrian Jewish mother, but I would always be something even luckier: the daughter of one.

1974: Wayne Gretzky, rising hockey star
By now it's practically hockey legend. Wayne Gretzky started playing the game in the backyard rink built by his dad. It marked the beginning of the most spectacular career in hockey history. From the time Gretzky donned his first pair of skates at age two to the shocking trade that took him south of the border, we look at how the "Great One" set the bar higher for Canada's favourite game.
It's a role the teenaged wonder seems to be taking in stride. It's not surprising considering the hockey prodigy started skating at two, was nationally known at age five, began signing autographs by the time he was ten and had been the focus of countless newspaper articles and even a TV special by age 11. When asked if he's going to turn pro, the five-foot-two, 93-pound wonder tells Gzowski: "All I can say is I hope."
"How much do you think you might be worth by the time you're 18? Would you believe a million dollars?" asks Gzowski. "No, not really," says Gretzky, his voice cracking. "I wish you could see the expression on Wayne's face, he's just sort of grinning and shaking his head," says Gzowski.
• Walter Gretzky is often referred to as the ultimate hockey dad. Every winter he would flood the backyard, put up floodlights and set up nets so the neighbourhood kids could play hockey.
• Gretzky has said he owes everything he has to his father. "Don't get pigheaded on me," Walter always reminded his son. "No matter how good you are, there's always someone better."
• Gretzky was also a talented track star and a baseball player. In 1971 the 10-year-old athlete said: "If I couldn't play hockey I'd like to play baseball with the Oakland Athletics and Vida Blue."
• CBC's Peter Gzowski, a fan and a friend to Wayne Gretzky, remembered meeting the 13-year-old hockey sensation. "He looked like a squirrel...a slim, solemn, blond, not unattractive kid in a hockey jacket but, nevertheless, a squirrel."
• The first major newspaper article on Wayne Gretzky ran in the Toronto Telegram on Oct. 28, 1971. It was written by John Iaboni, who later said he knew he was seeing something special when he saw the four-foot-10, 70-pound 10-year-old play for Brantford's Nadrofsky Steelers.
• Wayne Gretzky was part of the first-ever outdoor NHL game which took place on Nov. 22, 2003 at the Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton. The Edmonton Oilers and the Montreal Canadiens played in front of a sold-out crowd of about 58,000. As an added bonus, a "warm-up" game took place before the historic game with former stars of both teams including Grant Fuhr, Guy Lafleur and of course Gretzky.

Good news: Representatives for the Bud Light Guam Women's Tackle Football League and each of the league's teams gathered at Ambros Inc. yesterday to announce the continuation of Bud Light's sponsorship of the league. Bud Light has sponsored the league since it was formed. Grant Wieman/Pacific Daily firstname.lastname@example.com
The Bud Light Guam Women's Tackle Football League renewed its title sponsorship agreement during a press conference yesterday at Ambros Inc.
Bud Light has been the GWTFL's sponsor for all four seasons of the league's existence.
GWTFL also announced the early-season schedule and an expansion yesterday. The league will begin with a jamboree scrimmage on March 22 at Raiders Field in Tiyan. The first regular season games will be played March 28-29. Opening day at Raiders Field will include games at 10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., league commissioner Fred Tupaz said.
The GWTFL was the first women's tackle football league on Guam, and the fastest growing in size, participation and fans, league president Linda Salas said.
"We are all about player safety and community service," she added.
Nearly 250 players
The league is up to six teams this season -- it had five last season -- and nearly doubled its participation with close to 250 players heading into the 2015 season, Tupaz said.
Team Legacy have won all three prior championships, but they'll compete against the Steel Blazers, Lady Raiders, Tough Chicks, Lady Falcons and Sindalu this year.
"The number of teams that we have is great because the talent has been spread out," Tupaz said.
Following a six-week regular season, the top four teams will advance to the playoffs with a championship game set for late May, Tupaz said.

I've mentioned a few times what a great and refreshing series Chew (by John Layman and Rob Guillory) is. Once again, the complete series has sold out within a week, despite the largest overprint on the series. If you've missed out (for some reason), more reprints are on the way. The second and third issues will return for one final "Last Bite" edition.
John Layman has expressed his appreciation:
Image will be increasing the printing quantities in order to (hopefully) keep them available. The third printing of issue two and second printing of issue three will be the final time these issues are reprinted in a monthly comics format.
I'm extremely thankful to all the fans and retailers, but I can't say I ever saw this coming. Even though we up the print run considerably every time we do a reprint, we just keep selling out in no time flat. That kind of support for such an odd book is hard to come by. Rob and I highly appreciate the overwhelming enthusiasm
Chew #2-4 will be made available in comic shops on October 7, 2009 and Chew #5 will be on sale on October 21, 2009. All will sport a $2.99 price tag. Check out this series and satisfy that comic book hunger for something new and different that you have.

REUTERS: No end in sight for American imprisoned in Cuba

- No end in sight for American imprisoned in Cuba
By Jeff Franks Jeff Franks –
Thu Dec 2, 11:43 am ET HAVANA (Reuters) – A year after security agents took him into custody at the Havana airport, U.S. aid contractor Alan Gross remains behind bars in Cuba, with no resolution in sight for a case that halted a brief thaw in U.S.-Cuba relations.
Gross, 61, is desperate to get home to help his daughter, who is in her twenties and was diagnosed with cancer this summer, but there has been little or no progress reported in what have been at best sketchy talks between Washington and Havana.
U. S. officials say they have requested Gross' release on a number of occasions, but have never received a response or an explanation of the case against him. He is said to have lost 90 pounds and suffers several health problems.
Cuban officials have accused Gross, detained on December 3 last year, of illegally bringing in satellite communications equipment and perhaps spying during what his family has said were five trips to the island in the nine months before his arrest.
His work was funded by a U.S. program promoting political change in Cuba. But Washington has said Gross was merely a do-gooder spreading Internet access to the country's small Jewish community.
Jewish leaders in Cuba publicly deny any knowledge of Gross, but some in the community say they knew him.
Gross, currently being held in a cell at a Havana military hospital, has not been officially charged with a crime and remains under investigation, Cuban Attorney General Dario Delgado told reporters on November 23.
He did not explain the delay, but said "There's no problem. Everything moves ahead as was foreseen ... it's a normal case."
Peter Kahn, Gross' attorney in Washington, disagreed in a statement issued Wednesday.
"Alan's incarceration for a year without clarity of the legal process he will face or its timing is a travesty. It violates every international standard of justice and due process," Kahn said.
"We continue to urge the Cuban authorities to release Alan immediately based on humanitarian grounds, as well as the fact that he has already served one year in prison," he said.
If the Cubans are holding him in hopes of gaining concessions from the United States, they have not said so publicly. But it is widely believed they would like to trade him for five Cuban agents imprisoned in the United States for spying or perhaps U.S. assurances that the kind of program he worked for will be shut down.
The United States spends millions of dollars every year on programs it says are aimed at promoting democracy in Cuba. Cuban leaders, however, view them as attempts to subvert the communist-led government installed after a 1959 revolution.
The United States has said it wants Gross freed without conditions and until he is released, will undertake no new initiatives to improve relations with the Caribbean island.
Prior to his arrest, relations had warmed slightly as U.S. President Barack Obama eased the 48-year-old U.S. trade embargo against Cuba and the two countries launched talks on migration and postal service issues.
A major stumbling block to Gross' freedom is that his case is inextricably bound up in the long history of animosity between Cuban exiles and the government they fled.
Politically powerful Cuban-American leaders oppose concessions of almost any kind to President Raul Castro and his older brother, Fidel Castro, who led the revolution and then ran Cuba for 49 years before stepping down in 2008.
When rumors of a possible swap involving Gross and the five agents surfaced this summer, five Cuban-American members of Congress fired off a letter to Obama urging him to drop the idea. The government later said a swap was not being considered.
Similarly, they opposed a widely leaked administration plan to ease U.S. restrictions on travel to Cuba, which was seen as a gesture to the Cuban government that might help Gross.
"This is not the time to ease pressure on the Castro regime," said U.S. Senator Frank Menendez, a Democrat from New Jersey.
The plan was never announced and its fate is unknown.
The lack of action on Gross' behalf has exasperated those who support a change in U.S.-Cuba policy and who expected more of Obama.
They accuse him of caving in to Cuban-American pressure for political reasons, at Gross' expense.
"Alan and the others are foot-soldier casualties of an anachronistic war based on the loss and anger of exiles," said John McAuliff of the New York-based Fund for Reconciliation and Development, which works to foster better U.S.-Cuba relations.
Gross's wife Judy also has complained about Obama's inaction and wrote a letter to Raul Castro expressing her and her husband's remorse for his work in Cuba.
In a recent op-ed piece in the Miami Herald, she called on Obama and Castro to "change the tide of bilateral relations."
"Do not make Alan's case an excuse to fall further apart but rather an example of a new era in U.S.-Cuba relations," she wrote.

Nuts about Almonds
In a nutshell, just a single ounce of almonds (20-25 almonds) is flavor-packed, convenient, and good for you.
Here's what's inside:
- Vitamin E: protection from cancer, heart disease, and cataracts. (You get one-third of a day's vitamin E from an ounce of almonds.)
- Folate: heart-health benefits, too, and it helps prevent birth defects.
- Calcium, Phosphorus, and Magnesium: a bone-building trio. Calcium and magnesium offer protection from hypertension, too.
- Fiber: an aid for digestion, it protects against cancer, heart disease, and other health problems, too.
- Monounsaturated fats: the type of fat linked to less heart disease risk.
Bonus: Almonds are cholesterol-free!
Three simple ways to enjoy almonds:
- For a smoothie idea, blend in one tablespoon of toasted almonds for every cup of smoothie.
- For a crunchy almond butter, process whole almonds with a touch of vegetable oil, salt, and sugar until nearly smooth.
- For an easy add-in, toss slivered almonds on stir-fries, salads, and rice, or sprinkle on cereal, veggies, fish, yogurt, or ice cream.

James: Just how much is that property tax hike?
Is it 2.71 per cent, 2.23 per cent or 1.75 per cent? All of the above. Different homeowners may pay quite different rates
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Amidst the hubbub over lawsuit allegations of the Madman Mayor as Hitman Mastermind — you may have heard your property taxes are going up 2.71 per cent this year.
Or is it 2.23 per cent? And, didn't we hear 1.75 per cent bandied about?
The numbers are all correct, depending on how you look at it. Such is the confusing nature of Toronto's budget-making.
There are so many ways to spin the city's budget that it is possible to rile just about everyone. But this is true:
The "average" Toronto homeowner will get a property tax increase of $68.59 in 2014, pushing the tax bill to $2,598 on an average Toronto home, assessed at just under $500,000.
The hike is 2.71 per cent, but that only tells a small part of the story. Some will pay three or four times that amount, others get hit with reassessment impacts, some benefit from a tax shift policy that helps business and condos and apartment dwellers. And everyone gets whacked by the Scarborough subway tax, though not equally so.
The 2.71 per cent hike is an apples-to-apples comparison to the 2.5 per cent hikes in 2012 and again in 2013. The only difference is the 2014 tax bite includes a half a percentage point increase ($12.70) dedicated to the Scarborough subway and an added $1.63 to restore the city's tree canopy damaged by the ice storm.
Here are some unvarnished budget infofacts:
So, really, the city is getting only two-thirds of the tax increase to fund its ongoing operations from police to parks and roads.
With that background, let's revisit the property tax hike passed last week and the conflicting percentage increases.
Yes, the hike is 1.73 per cent to fund ongoing city services. Add the subway tax and it jumps to 2.23 per cent. Then, add the tax shift to benefit business and others and the final hit is 2.71 per cent.
As well, the 2.71 per cent is only for single family homes. The hike is lower for all other property owners. Apartments get a tax decrease of 0.63 per cent and industrial properties drop 0.52 per cent. Taxes for commercial properties jump 0.71 per cent. In other words, taxes on the average homeowner jumped three times the level of the average large commercial property.
The reason? Toronto adopted a policy to reduce taxes on commercial and apartment properties to bring them more in line with single family homes which were historically undertaxed relative to the businesses.
Which brings us back to the Scarborough subway tax. Because of the tax policy shift to protect business, homeowners will pay the subway tax at three times the rate of the very businesses that will benefit from the new line.
Homeowners pay half a percentage point each year. A large commercial tower at the Scarborough Town Centre, for example, will pay just 0.17 per cent.

Phoenix Suns
Jared Dudley's mom: He's always been humble through ups and downs
Since coming over in a trade from the Charlotte Bobcats in December 2009, Phoenix Suns forward Jared Dudley has endeared himself to fans in the Valley with on-court performance, work in the community and engagement on social media platforms.
Even during a 25-57 season in which he went back and forth between starting and coming off the bench, Dudley's work ethic and approach never changed. It's a trait his mother Melinda said has existed from Day 1.
"He was a very focused kid even when he was young," Melinda told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf. "I'll share this with you, he never watched cartoons. From age two on, he was always watching sports."
Growing up, Melinda exposed Jared and his brother to a multitude of sports, but admitted one of her fondest memories was teaching her son the value of winning fairly.
"Both of my sons started out with soccer then baseball, flag football, and I grew up playing tennis so I exposed them to that," said Melinda. Funny story on that one, was that when (Pete) Sampras was playing (Andre) Agassi at the US Open, Jared turned to me and said, 'You know I want to play tennis.' We would go out there and he was so competitive, always. He would get so mad that he couldn't beat me, but I mean I grew up playing tennis and this was his first time out there.
"So he said to me, 'Just give me a couple of games, just let me be up by a couple games.' He was probably in grammar school at the time, but I told him he had to beat me."
Winning hasn't been a prominent part of Dudley's career of the past three seasons in Phoenix, but Melinda said she's proud of the way her son has handled everything in stride.
"He has stayed humble," she said. "He is such a kind young man, truly a kind young man."

News this week that a British MP told an astrology journal that the NHS would be improved if Doctors knew about astrology. This has provoked outrage in the gutter press, with many publicly calling for the MP in question, David Tredinnick, never to be made a minister! They are conveniently ignoring that the fact that Tredinnick was forced to renounce any possibility of a ministerial career many years ago: which is probably why he is not afraid to speak out on issues which he feels are important.
As an astrologer myself I must say that I have great sympathy with Tredinnick. However, in my opinion, it will be unfeasible to incorporate astrology into our National Health Service, and it's not for the reasons that the Yellow Journalists trot out. To wit:
Firstly, whilst there is such a thing as "medical astrology," it is my understanding this is used for long-term chronic concerns, not conditions which arise from referrals from Accident & Emergency, or which arise in circumstances of urgency. Unfortunately, it is just such cases which form the majority of the workload of the NHS. "Medical astrology," if it were to be used at all, could only really be used for general health check-ups.
Secondly, there is the peculiar way in which funding is allocated in the NHS, which is basically that the money follows the patient. An unpleasant side-effect of this is that it encourages NHS workers to visualise patients as if they have £ signs stamped on their foreheads – which further encourages different fund-managers (e.g. different GP practices, different primary health care trusts within the same local area, etc), within the the NHS to compete with one-another for the same patients. Hence, if one GP refuses to offer astrological consultation but another down the road does, there is the danger that the first GP will dissuade the patient from transferring to the second one not on scientific but on financial grounds.
And before you accuse me of scaremongering, I actually once worked in the NHS many years ago, and I was firmly told by management that if a potential patient came through our door who we would not ultimately be able to treat ourselves, we were to get him on our books anyway before transferring him to an external agency, instead of redirecting him to the external agency straightaway – precisely for this "money follows the patient" principle. This sort of shit does go on.
Thirdly: if NHS professionals do give astrological readings to patients, it would force the NHS to stop treating patients as statistics but as people – because, astrology, as properly done, is a skilled art which needs great sensitivity and tact on the part of the astrologer. NB: astrologers will get the point immediately, but non-astrologers ought to be aware that the kind of thing that Tredinnick was talking about was not the daily horoscopes which appear in the newspapers, which are not real astrology anyway, but a full reading which involves drawing up and going through the patient's entire birth chart.
Thus the irony is that although we may not see Astrology on the NHS in its current state, the effort involved in trying to introduce it would inevitably shake up our health service and cause radical reform in terms of quality all the same.
