For those special occasions when you can't fit all of your rage inside an envelope…
Here are a couple of pieces of correspondence from one of our regulars — I call him "Angryman." Angryman's letters usually have a racial angle to them, and are always mailed anonymously. I can quickly spot one of these letters in a pile of mail thanks to the writer's distinctly disturbing envelope decorations, and penmanship.
If you think all curmudgeons have absconded to the anonymity of Internet message boards — I often feel like this is the case — you're mistaken. Some still prefer to hate the old-fashioned way.
So why am I not surprised that Viola Davis won three prizes Sunday at the Screen Actors Guild Awards for her performance in The Help? She'll probably also do well at the upcoming Academy Awards, too.
This is no knock on Davis, who I understand did a superb job of acting in the drama about black maids and what they really thought about their white employers during the racially segregated 1960s in Mississippi. But as I've written more than a few times over the past year about both the film and the book, they simply weren't authentic enough for my tastes.
I felt the same way about the new movie, Red Tails, which, along with a few friends, we took in during the weekend. George Lucas' film about the legendary Tuskegee Airmen, who had to fight to fight for America as black pilots during World War II , was more of an action flick than a film that got into the heads of the characters to tell their story. Sorry George. Good effort. But you, like the maker of The Help, missed it.
The good news is that at least film makers are trying to delve into Black History. Keep trying! Someone's bound to finally get it right.
Had President Obama consulted with New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand before his remarks in this week's State of the Union address extolling the virtues of natural-gas drilling?
No, Gillibrand began shaking her head before the question was even completed.
"I did not love that part of the speech," she said during a visit today with the Editorial Board.
New York's junior senator, who will run for her first full term this year, said she will not support the process known as hydrofracking until a) the gas industry discloses what chemicals are used in the process and b) she's satisfied the millions of gallons of chemically treated water used to crack open underground shale can be adequately disposed of.
Tomorrow afternoon, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand will be visiting our downtown HQ for an Editorial Board meeting.
Sen. Gillibrand hasn't met with us in a great many months; we will have plenty of questions for her.
Do you?
If you have a question that you would like us to pose to Gillibrand, post it here Thursday night or Friday morning. We will try to fit your query into our session with the senator.
Monday morning I had the pleasure of attending a small group breakfast meeting featuring Dr. Cornel West. I must say that I have always been a fair weather fan of sorts of his, however after experiencing him live and in "color" I plan to purchase his jersey.
Dr. West touched and dabbled on many topics during his hour and a half exchange with the group. His ability to effortlessly articulate his thoughts and views intellectually, while poetically allowing for a layman like myself to understand and relate, was amazing.
I had one primary take away from his talk that I felt compelled to share with those who were not blessed enough to attend. What Dr. West literally brought to life was his strong beliefs surrounding compassion and empathy, more specifically the lack and loss of it in our country.
Dr. West challenged us to find it again. He reminded us that during the civil rights movement and in the midst of the effects of Jim Crow laws; artists and poets intuitively acted as extensions of our legislature. Music enabled them to send a positive, calming, and uniting message across the airways and record players.
This provided a forum for fighting back with compassion, not with terrorist mentalities. He asked us to imagine the civil rights movement taken place without the presence of a Martin Luther King, or without the music of Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, and so many others. If that doesn't frighten you nothing else will, as we blast the bubble gum sounds of Beyonce.
What happened to that culture of compassion and empathy? Will we ever get even a glimpse of it back? Or will we forever remain "adjusted to the injustice".
Can you just imagine the Civil Rights movement happening in today's world, a society populated with money hungry "get over" as best you can citizens? A culture where one believes that by achieving as many materialistic accomplishments as possible translates into the American dream. We would have an environment primed to cultivate an infinite Civil War for certain.
YesAmerica is an incredibly diverse land of the free. Where we fight for the right to be wrong, and where we fight to right the wrong.
A place where politicians are finally speaking their mind, opposed to hiding behind smoke and mirrors. A country where the Mayor of East Haven, Connecticut says he is going to eat tacos for dinner as an answer after the FBI has raided his Police Force for racial injustice against Latinos. A land where a top Republican candidate for President plans to show and tell Black folks why they don't need white people's money for food stamps.
While at the same time over 2,000 people inRochester came out in the middle of day to hear and be motivated by Dr. West. It's time to wake up and continue the movement.
Where will you start? Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would weep.
Woody Allen's Academy Award nominations this week for writing and directing the film "Midnight in Paris" are impressive as much for what they say about his work ethic as about his creativity.
The film, though not one of his best, is pleasant and clever and full of winning performances (another 30 seconds of screen time and Adrien Brody might have stolen the picture outright). It is also the durable Allen's 30th film in the past 30 years as writer and director (and, often though less often lately, star).
That's an impressive run. You have to go back to 1981 to find the last calendar year that didn't include the release of a Woody Allen movie. And from 1969-1980, he wrote and directed nine more and starred in two others, one of which ("Play It Again, Sam") he wrote the screenplay for based on his own play.
The accolades have come. His Oscar nominations are his 15th for screenwriting (a record) and his seventh for directing. His seven writer-director nominations are also a record. Interestingly, his directing has been nominated more often than his films ("Interiors," "Broadway Danny Rose," "Crimes and Misdemeanors" and "Bullets Over Broadway" all earned writing and directing nominations but were not up for best picture. Until "Midnight in Paris," only "Annie Hall" and "Hannah and Her Sisters" were nominated for the top honor).
But Allen doesn't do it for the awards; he does it for the work. Despite his contention that "I work very casually," he also works very steadily. And good work, as we know, is its own reward.
I think it's ridiculous the amount of money some people spend on clothes. Actually, it's sinful. I try to buy quality clothes that will still look great years from now until I get tired of them before they look too tired to wear. When I page through Vogue at the hair salon, I just can't imagine paying $500 for a simple T-shirt when I can get the same look for less than $20.
This morning, a segment on Good Morning America got me riled up on the topic. Now there's "Kiddie Couture." We're talking Gucci Kids, with a $3,800 biker jacket (having your kid emulate a Hell's Angel doesn't seem like good parenting to me) and a $2,900 fur coat. Apparently kids now want to emulate Suri Cruise, daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who wears custom-made Lanvin shoes. (Not to worry, Lanvin Petite for kids just opened.)
One mom was quoted as saying that parents want the best for their kids and will make sacrifices, like not going out to dinner, to buy high-end garments. You'd have to give up a lot of dinners out to make up for the $3,800 jacket.
How about putting that money into the kid's college fund instead? I know, the parents buying this stuff probably aren't worried about paying for their kid's tuition. Still, GMA says $800 million was spent on designer kid fashions last year. I don't think it's just the top 1 percent doing that shopping.
Anyway, this trend is just one more example of how materialism is way out of control and parents aren't helping.
The D&C carried good news for Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra fans today, reporting that the RPO was profitable in 2011. Here's an interesting behind-the-curtains story that came in via a letter to the editor Sunday night:
Music lovers at the standing-room-only, Sunday afternoon performance with famed violinist Itzhak Perlman, could not help but notice that RPO Conductor Arild Remmereit appeared on stage after the intermission in blue jeans to conduct the featured Tchaikovsky solo. Far from a fashion faux pas, it was a kind and classy move.
It seemed that after the morning rehearsal, as musicians and Remmereit were preparing to leave to get dressed for the afternoon performance, Mr. Perlman explained that he had forgotten to pack his formal trousers and the jeans he had worn for rehearsal was all he had. "Without skipping a beat," Maestro Remmereit smiled and said that given the winter weather jeans sounded great and he was going wear his, as well.
Quick thinking and a kind and welcoming gesture towards his esteemed soloist. And of course an absolutely superb concert.

(I am a member of the RPO Board and overheard the conversation.)
The Obama Administration has offended Catholics across the political spectrum with its Health and Human Services mandate that forces every employer to provide employees with health coverage that not only covers birth control and sterilization, but makes them free. It is hard to believe that the administration would take such a foolish position in an election year but the implications for major charitable organizations which run hospitals, soup kitchens and immigrant services are monumental. Organizations like Catholic Relief Services and Catholic Charities which employ 70,000 people and Notre Dame which employs over 5,000 people are considering dropping health care coverage for their employees rather than complying with this law that goes against the tenants of their faith. Here's the potential fall out for an organization like Notre Dame: if they drop coverage for their 5,229 employees, the Health and Human Services penalty would be $10M a year.
In his presidential campaign, Mr. Obama appeared to be in favor of religious freedoms when he said, "secularists are wrong when they ask believers to leave their religion at the door before entering the public square." Now we appear to be in the midst of a "war on the Catholic Church." Bishops across the country (even fairly liberal ones who initially supported this president) including Cardinal Roger Mahony of Los Angeles and Robert Lynch of St. Petersburg, Fla. have registered their ire with Mahony blogging that he "cannot imagine a more direct and frontal attack on freedom of conscience." Lynch has vowed that he will drop coverage for diocesan workers rather than comply.
What is this administration thinking? The president's own appointees to the Supreme Court just reaffirmed in a 9-0 ruling that a faith-based school's first amendment right to choose its own ministers without government interference-why not apply that reason to an exemption to this ruling? They are either asleep at the switch or they really are declaring war on Catholics. In either case, it is bad news for this country.
One of the most interesting aspects of this job is the variety of topics and writers that come across my desk each week. Among other settings, readers craft their letters to the D&C in classrooms, at work and in retirement communities. Others write to us from jail.
While jail letters are rarely published, we usually forward them to news editors for story consideration. These letters often carry sad words from men who swear they've gotten a raw deal, or repentant prose from guys trying to make a turn in the rehabilitation process. Others are just the personal reflections of individuals with an abundance of time.
Here is an interesting piece that we received this week:
I felt compelled to write, on behalf of many individuals that are incarcerated. Individuals that made detrimental decisions in their lives, and caused extreme pain in society. But have vowed to correct their errors and accept their justice. There are many of us that have found our true selves in solitude. And when given the opportunity to return to society, we will be great contributors to society.
Recidivism is common among criminals, but, I beg the people, do not condemn all felons. We are all different, and the actions of one should not spill over to another.
Justice is a penalty or a reward for one's ways and actions. But, justice divorced from sympathy is selfish indifference. And not in the least more laudable than misanthropic isolation.
I apologize to my community for my previous actions. And as an apprentice of the truth, my duty as of now is to assist in elevating the moral and intellectual level of society, bringing ideas into circulation and causing the mind of youth to grow.
As we embark into a new year, and we celebrate Dr. King's legacy, I would like to end this with one of his greatest quotes:
"True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it understands that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring."
Maybe we should try and understand why recidivism is so common.
I was thrilled to see the essay last weekend by Ernest-Flagler Mitchell asserting that condoms should not be made available in city schools. Mr. Flagler-Mitchell, as a concerned father and president of the Rochester Parents Union rightly points out that "early engagement in sexual activity places youth in peril" and that parents need to guide their children in the ways of right and healthy choices, "not agencies, teachers or health personnel."
We need to get back to the concept and singleness of purpose of school as a place for learning about living as a responsible adult. It is about educating one's mind and elevating one's spirit in a love for learning and a chance to experience history, mathematics, reading and writing, the arts and developing a healthy appreciation of teamwork and physical fitness. If schools could focus all of their energies and the considerable talent of their people on this endeavor, they would not be distracted by solving condom distribution issues diguised as public health concerns.
Some young people will find a way to engage in early sexual activity, but it is up to their fathers and their mothers to be aware of this and guide them according to their family and community values. The community needs to uphold values of what is right and good and not succumb to expedient "solutions" like condom distribution in schools. If we really examine this and recognize that we have a graduation rate lower than 50% but we are spending valuable time and effort discussing topics like this, we would recognize the absolute absurdity. Let's focus on what schools need to focus on and let parents and families work with their kids to teach them good healthy values and behaviors. More power to you Mr. Flagler-Mitchell!
What a difference a year makes. At last year's "State of Our Schools" address about the Rochester schools, there were several hundred picketers –mostly teachers and some parents – tromping around in the cold in front of School of the Arts, there to protest Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard. As I recall, just a few weeks later, the Rochester Teachers Association confirmed a no confidence vote in Brizard. And just a few months later, Brizard said yes to Arne Duncan's proposal to run the Chicago City Schools.
Think Brizard regrets the move? Nah. The problems of an urban district are the same everywhere. Just magnified in Chicago and he doesn't have to deal with a pesky school board.
Now a year later, Interim Superintendent Bolgen Vargas will be delivering the State of the Schools address. He's already won over many parents, teachers and principals simply by showing up, smiling and listening, not showing the arrogance that Brizard did. It's no secret that Vargas and RTA President Adam Urbanski are pretty chummy.
But how is that relationship translating into a better education for city students? The school board, when it hired Vargas, charged him with keeping on track with the "Portfolio Plan" for closing poor performing schools, opening new ones, transforming troubled ones, etc. What I'd like to hear tonight from Vargas is what's happening with the schools that opened in the fall 2010. How are those students faring on test scores? How are the partnerships with MCC and St. John Fisher going? It'd be great to hear from representatives of those institutions.
Vargas is interested in being hired as the permanent superintendent. He should use tonight's address as a way to convince his constituents he's the best guy for the job, lay out how his leadership will transform the system, beyond getting some kids to read a book over the Christmas break.
Anyone who knows anything about Cornel West knows he has a lot to say, and he says it well. He lived up to his props today at the Rochester Institute of Technology where West was the featured guest for a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. event.
As expected, West, a former Princeton University professor and philosopher, pulled no punches. In discussing the life of King, he also talked about a wide range of social concerns, including slavery in America. He said slavery was "not just a problem, but a catastrophe."
West connected the dots to remind an audience of several thousand that African Americans have a history of embracing the "best of the human spirit" despite the brutal mental and physical attacks black people endured due to racism. West reminded listeners that Mamie Till, mother of Emmett Till, the African American boy who was killed by Mississippi white supremacists in 1955 for whistling at a white woman, epitomized such a spirit. Rather than seeking an eye for an eye, she chose to pursue justice peacefully.
West said it was people like Mamie Till who laid the foundation for what became the King legacy. "When you see Negroes you ought to give them a standing ovation." he said, noting black people chose to seek justice rather than revenge.
Among the many things he had to say about King, West pointed out that this is the time of year when there's what he called the "Santa Clausification" of King . He recalled that at the time of King's assassination 72 percent of Americans disapproved of him and 55 percent of the black leadership believed he was too radical.
West called King a "revolutionary Christian." Indeed.
But West didn't stop there without challenging his diverse audience.
He urged listeners to use their intelligence, not so much to be "successful" but to "make the world a better place." West noted that while the Nazis were smart people intellectually, they were spiritually bankrupt. "We need more than smartness. We need greatness," he said.
As would any good philosopher, West gave his audience much to think about.
Wegmans has once again been named by Fortune magazine as among the five best companies in the country to work for. What's new, right?
Except I have a theory about the secret to Wegmans' success — what makes the supermarkets not only a good place to work but a good place to shop: It's lack of greed.
I know, I know. The company is wildly popular and generates mints. But I always get the impression that when it comes to profit margin, they're content to leave well enough alone.
Take staffing. Have you ever seen a Wegmans understaffed? Unlike some stores, where there are only a few cashiers and check-out is interminable, Wegmans has plenty of folks working plenty of registers. Get in a line and you run the risk of a customer-free cashier kidnapping you. Same thing throughout the store. Whether its cold cuts or seafood, you're not likely to wait for an employee to come back from break to place your order. Additional staffers sweep floors, stock shelves, corral carts and so on.
Now, most locations could probably get by with fewer employees. Maybe even a substantial number fewer. And that would increase profits. Theoretically. But — and this is the key — unlike a lot of companies, Wegmans doesn't seem to want to squeeze every last penny out of every last store.
This is what makes it an attractive place to shop. And work. Most have us have been in jobs where we've been told to do more with less. Wegmans has hit upon the bright idea that you can increase customer — and employee — satisfaction by doing more with more.

Obama's Nobel speech offered a distorted view of America's role in the world and a shallow understanding of just war.
In an exclusive interview with The Nation, David Plouffe, former campaign manager of Obama for America, talks healthcare, messaging, and organizing after election day.
It is one thing to rob us blind by rewarding the power elite that created our problems but quite another to sugarcoat it in the rhetoric of a David taking on those Goliaths.
The real purpose of sending 30,000 soldiers to Afghanistan is to make Obama look tough as he heads toward the next US presidential election.
Is it possible to oppose the war in Afghanistan and still support the president? The Nation's Chris Hayes thinks so.
In making Afghanistan the key to America's national security strategy against terrorism, Obama has chosen to perpetuate some damaging myths.
The expediency of Obama's Afghanistan decision was transparent. Satisfy the generals by sending 30,000 more troops. Satisfy the public with a timeline for beginning withdrawals of those same troops, without a timeline for completing withdrawal.
What's up with Barack Obama? Finally someone has a good idea about how to deal with Wall Street and the White House condemns it.
Since the president took office, his administration has yielded one surrender after another.

Allies in adversity, Australia and the Dutch in the Pacific War
Australian-made Dutch uniform
The Dutch government-in-exile was keen for its troops to retain their distinctive national identity. It was considered important that both Allies and subjects of the NEI should be reassured by the sight of recognisably Dutch soldiers in uniform. For this reason, efforts were made to issue NEI troops in Australia with their standard clothing, helmets, and weapons. Since supplies could not match demand, it soon became evident that some items would need to be acquired locally, and Australian manufactured clothing was introduced by early 1943.

Brig. Gen. L. Scott Rice has walked the walk.
He knows what it means to hold down a civilian job and also be a "citizen soldier."
Rice knows what it means to be deployed halfway around the world helping fight a war, while still having concerns back home for his wife and family.
This Veterans Day, with about 160 of his 2,200 troops on active duty across the region and around the globe, Rice, the new state commander of the Air National Guard, is hoping Massachusetts residents don't lose sight of the work that National Guard members – both Air and Army – do each and every day to keep the Bay State, the nation and the world safe.
"We're a dual-tasked force for the governor and the president. We support our communities in emergencies and for special events. We're a force here in Western Massachusetts, but we also defend the skies over the northeast of the United States for the president," Rice said. "We're people who live and grow with our families right here in the communities we serve."
Rice, 52, of Southampton, took command of the state Air Guard in mid-September. He calls it a "a deep-felt honor to be chosen and selected with confidence I'm the right guy (for) this time."
With the perspective of nearly three decades of service in the active-duty military and the Guard, the general says his new job is "really about the people. ... The people have been the best part of the experience; we are all working together for something greater than ourselves."
The year ahead for the Air Guard presents two major challenges – or goals, Rice said. One is to prepare Guard members, including those at the 104th Fighter Wing at Barnes Municipal Airport in Westfield, for major inspections by the Air Force. The second is "continuing to recruit the best candidates we can from our communities," he said. Recruitment has maintained a steady pace of late and "is the best it's been in the past 10 years," according to Rice.
Some of the recruitment success may be due to a provision for Guard members to receive full tuition and fee reimbursement for those who enroll in state universities and community colleges. "It's a culmination of the benefits and the economy; it makes our way of life very attractive," Rice said.
Rice lived out his childhood dream of becoming a fighter pilot in the 1980s, entering the military through the Reserve Officer Training Corps program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., and then going on to pilot training. (In civilian life, Rice is a commercial pilot for United Airlines. While general officers in the Guard don't fly, his work for United allows him to still pursue his passion for flight, he said. )
Rice joined the 104th Fighter Wing in 1989 and came to Massachusetts to live in the 1990s, drawn, he said, by a strong sense of community that plays out in the Guard. He also wanted to pilot the A-10 Thunderbolt II attack jets once flown by the unit, and it's here that he and his wife Nancy chose to raise their daughter and son and make their home for close to 20 years. Today, their son, Lee Rice, is a second lieutenant with the 104th, carrying on the family tradition of military service.
The 104th, with its mission now flying F-15 Eagles, is an example of how the Guard works 24-7 for the nation, its pilots and support staff on alert around-the-clock to provide homeland security duty, Rice said. Just two weeks ago, pilots from the Westfield unit intercepted and escorted an Emirates Airlines flight into New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport in the midst of the most recent terror plot involving international flights to the U.S.
Rice says Western Massachusetts residents should be proud of the work done by the 104th; the unit, he noted, is also an important part of the economic engine, plugging an estimated $140 million into the region's economy.
Family assistance centers for area Guard members and Reservists on deployment will be the beneficiaries of a fund-raising event on Sunday at the Hu Ke Lau in Chicopee. A Beach Boys tribute band, the Driftwoods, will perform at the event which begins at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $25.

Emergency Procedures
Emergency Procedures
This page provides information to the Trinity University community about how to respond to a variety of emergency situations that could occur on campus.
Trinity University believes strongly in protecting the health, safety and welfare of its students, faculty and staff. To do so in emergencies requires preparation, so we invite you to visit these pages often and familiarize yourself with appropriate emergency procedures.
The university uses several methods to communicate information in the event of an emergency. These include:
Notification Procedures
Mass Notification System - This is an outdoor notification system that uses a siren followed with a message to alert the campus community to take shelter in the event of an emergency. For more information, please read our Frequently Asked Questions page on this new system.
The Emergency Web site- http://emergency.trinity.edu
Emergency Hotline - In the event of an emergency, call 888-57-ALERT for the current status of campus conditions.
TrinAlert - Click here to register to have emergency text announcements sent directly to your cell phone. Only warnings requiring immediate action will be sent via this system.
Emergency Telephone Alert - Messages may be broadcast directly to all student rooms and offices where there are University telephones. Messages will scroll as text and/or be broadcast over the telephone as intercom announcements.
E-mail Notification
E-mail messages - Official news, information and instructions will be distributed by e-mail. Please check your Trinity e-mail on a regular basis. If you need to check e-mail from the Web, please go to https://tmail.trinity.edu
Emergency Contact Information - Do your parent(s) or guardian(s) know how to reach you during a crisis? Fill-out this form and it will send important contact information to your parent(s) or guardian(s).
Web page updates
Official news, information and instructions will be posted on the University Web site.
The Emergency Web site- http://emergency.trinity.edu. This Web site is hosted from a location off-campus (half-way across the country) and will be used to communicate information in the event of an emergency/disaster and campus network outage. In the event of a large scale or campus-wide disaster, you should visit http://emergency.trinity.edu for current, vital Trinity information.
Trinity University will, without delay, and taking into account the safety of the community, determine the content of the notification and initiate appropriate notification, unless issuing a notification will, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist a victim or contain, respond or otherwise mitigate the emergency.

VicariousR1 July 02, 2013 10:50 PM So here we are, Dani is leading the championship and ten laps in starts to lose confidence in his tyres. What would be the point in chasing Valentino down, who was clearly on a mission, and risk losing all the points and collecting an injury. He did all that was necessary under the circumstances. I imagine mister Honda won't be too unhappy. Reply Report abuse 3 agree 0 disagree
CalvinChowCK July 03, 2013 6:36 AM Go go go Dani!! Yeah, this is really a good opportunity but what a shame. Time is about to run out!! Reflect & bring back your last season 2nd half 'charm'!! Yes, keep believing that you have the charm and winning edge & 2nd half of the season is coming soon which you may be stronger. But this season is slightly different.. You've more contenders than last year. Though now that, for time being, Jorge may not be 100% but it seems rejuvenated Rossi is coming 'back' and Marc is always there waiting for every single opportunity to attack! What about Cal? He's been progressing very well and sooner or later he'll catch up with you factory guys.You can't really afford to wait or be complacent anymore, it's time to push not defending! You can't delay any longer. You are aware that you have one of the best machines. Also, the RCV has been on the track for countless meetings. You guys have the data and settings. Why are you still encountering tire grip issues??? Puzzling..In certain respec Reply Report abuse 1 agree 0 disagree
CalvinChowCK July 03, 2013 6:37 AM Cont...In certain respect kind of agree with "Valentinokee46" in that you need to fight back once you lose the lead. I don't mean blind charging/attack but you've got to push to gain the lead again. Don't lose heart too soon, Dani! Psycho yourself that you can do it!! You have the pace, consistency! Go for it!! Yes, you can do it! All the best, Dani!! Reply Report abuse 1 agree 0 disagree
django July 03, 2013 7:15 PM as long as Bridgestone keeps bringin those heat-resistant tires in yamaha will keep winning. look back at the races. the tracks where honda has won they had the old tires of last year. the tracks where yamaha have won they had the heat resistant tires. i don,t know why Bridgestone brings this tyres to assen where it is never hot. or is that to help yamaha!!??

text: I switch from basic squats and single leg squats. Pushups I haven't gotten to the point where I can do fifty in a row (35 to low 40's is the highest number I can achieve from the first set), but I switch hand positions to mix things up. The handstand pushup? Well, I just throw out as many as possible and keeping myself elevated toward the last few. I switch between pushups and chinups with different hand positions. I go outside and jump up and grab a ledge or the big beam holding holding up the swings too to give my grip a challenge. For planks, well, I just aim for longer periods of time.

He will carry it around and chew on it, but if it moves he drops and leaves it. The batteries go dead pretty quick too. I'm just having him play with it now and when he gets real comfortable with it then I'll put batteries back in and see what happens. Other dog doesn't like it at all.
My 7 month old golden retriever had this thing ripped up in 10 min of playing with it. Considering it cost $11.99 then the shipping and the wait... Not a good product for a dog. :( very disappointed.
Looked like a wonderful toy. My dog loved it. But it broke in three days. He pulled the rope out even though he was supervised when he had it.
When we first got the toy he seemed interested in it, but now he just ignores it. The movement is not enough to keep him interested.

Press Release
Contact: Carnegie Mellon, Pitt To Demonstrate Technologies That Help the Elderly At Center for Aging Services Technologies Exhibition in Washington
PITTSBURGH—In conjunction with the once-in-a-decade White House Conference on Aging, Carnegie Mellon University and University of Pittsburgh researchers will demonstrate new technologies to enhance the lives of the elderly at the Center for Aging Services Technologies (CAST) exhibition, Dec. 12-14, in Washington, D.C.
The researchers will showcase their technologies at a booth in the Imagine Technology Pavilion at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, 2660 Woodley Park Road N.W. They are among representatives from 32 companies and research universities participating in the exhibition.
The Carnegie Mellon/Pitt display will include:
Two groups partnering with the Carnegie Mellon/Pitt team will also participate.
"The technologies we are bringing to the conference will allow the elderly to continue their independence for a longer period of time," said Rory Cooper, distinguished professor and director of the Human Engineering Research Laboratories at the University of Pittsburgh. "They have the potential to increase their quality of life, and their participation in family and social activities. The devices we will be showcasing reflect a wide range of the aging population's interests: for instance, maintaining and expanding mobility through active lifestyles. This generation is more accustomed to adopting technology than previous generations."
"The Pittsburgh area is a wonderful testbed for the types of technology Carnegie Mellon and Pitt are developing," said Jim Osborn, executive director of the Medical Robotics Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon. "The universities are complementary by virtue of their technologies. They share the agenda to improve the quality of life of seniors and others with disabilities and are in the middle of the county with the second oldest population in the United States.
"Our approach is to work from the insights of geriatricians, gerontologists and other healthcare professionals, as well as end users and aging services providers to not only identify good technologies but to see how they fit into real situations," Osborn said. "Our work unites people who focus on geriatric issues with those who focus on rehabilitation. Our focus on enhancing the quality of life encompasses both."

- How to Read a Study Record
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a disease characterized by small airways inflammation and obstruction. The small airways disease produces hyperinflation (air trapping), which increases with exercise. Continuous positive airways pressure may reduce small airways obstruction and therefore air trapping. Pulmonary function tests including lung volumes at rest and and after exercise will be measured. In addition, exercise endurance time before treatment and after treatment will be measured.

Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.
Bill Cosby
Humor is, I think, the subtlest and chanciest of literary forms. It is surely not accidental that there are a thousand novelists, essayists, poets or journalists for each humorist. It is a long, long time between James Thurbers.
Leo Rosten
Humor is an affirmation of dignity, a declaration of man's superiority to all that befalls him.
Roman Gary
A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs - jolted by every pebble in the road.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no defense against adverse fortune which is so effectual as an habitual sense of humor.
Thomas W. Higginson
A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one's heart and some laughter on one's lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.
Hugh Sidey
Nothing is more curious than the almost savage hostility that humor excites in those who lack it.
George Saintsbury

The visit of a ten-member Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) legislators to meet party leader P. Mohanan, who is in police custody in Kozhikode in connection with the murder of Revolutionary Marxist Party (RMP) leader T. P. Chandrasekharan, on Saturday without obtaining court permission was an inappropriate move, Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) President Ramesh Chennithala has said.
The CPI-M MLAs' decision to visit the party's Kozhikode district Secretariate member with out obtaining the court permission should be construed as a move by the CPI-M to sculttle the ongoing probe into the murder case, he told reporters at the Government Guest house here on Sunday.
The CPI-M had been engaged in weakening the judicial system and adopting hostile attitude to insult the established procedures ever since the Left party was implicated in the sensational murder case, Mr. Chennithala alleged.
He charged that the opposition party was indulging in "demoralising" the police force by unleashing personnal attack on them on political lines.
Mr. Chennithala said steps would be initiated to reconstitute the KPCC in the near future and maintained that his scheduled visit on Monday to New Delhi was in connection with the upcoming Presidential elections.
The Guest House here was choked with police personnel, including commandos and those from the bomb squad in the wake of anonymous call made recently threatening his life from a Karnataka town.
Stating that he he was least worried about such threatening calls, Mr. Chennithala, in reply to a query, said the beefed up police security for him was put in place by the State government,
The KPCC chief had reached here this morning to take part in various party functions in the district.

Setting: The set is the same set as Leslie Sansone's Christian walk workout. Very pretty with wood flooring, large rug, looks like inside of a cabin. Chapters: 1. Warm up and Core Conditioning 2. Lower Body 3. Upper Body 4. Partnered flexibility Lisa Wheeler assists Tracey in the first two segments/chapters. Lisa demonstrates all the full versions of all the moves, which can be used pre-pregnancy or post. (thus the 3 in 1 system) Here is a breakdown of moves in each segment. Warm Up & Core Conditioning: Breathing, butterfly stretch, cat stretch, child's pose, downward dog. Tracey always shares with viewers the differences between what she is doing (modified for pregnancy) versus what Lisa is doing. Lateral flexion to the sides, bend knees back into down dog then back into child's pose. The 100 move she demonstrates using pillows to elevate her, making sure to keep head and shoulders 30 degrees off floor. Toe dips are next working abs. This is followed by single leg stretches and mermaid. The last exercises are the side lying series. She uses pillows laying on the side of her body. Lower Body: Standing position, roll down & articulate back up. Plies with pelvic curls (working those kegel muscles), then plie again with stretches to the side. (similar to modified side angle pose) Next up is triangle pose with a chair. (Lisa again demonstrates full versions of these poses) Forward bend for stretching back also using a chair. Classic squats , then sumo squats (great for childbirth preparation). Dancer pose using a chair for balance then into tree pose. Next is a hamstring stretch by placing foot up onto chair and bending into that leg. The last move in the lower body sequence is sitting on the chair, crossing foot over leg and bending forward to stretch the outer hip area. Upper Body: Tracey does this section alone. She starts with spine stretch forward seated on cushions. 2-3 lb weights and a towel are used in this segment. Next is twists reaching opposite hand to foot, then another spine twist follows. Pick up the weights and cross your legs for comfort. Work biceps by lifting arms straight up and curling weights in. Next is seated chest flyes, followed by overhead press to work triceps. Raise arms with weights out to side and do mini circles. Next she takes the towel and lays it down to help support her hands/wrist. (she mentions many pregnant woman get carpal tunnel related symptoms during pregnancy) Cat pose into neutral spine. Reach one leg out with opposite arm reaching as well to lengthen body. Wide leg child's pose into push ups on knees. Balance moves are next. Done modified, she pushes one leg back and out. Then she goes into full plank. Child pose releases the pose. Balance control front is next. Lift up into table top with belly facing up. Butter fly then stretches you out and completes this section. Partnered Flexibility: She and her husband, Chris, demonstrate partner stretches. The first few stretches use the towel. With arms in the air holding towel, partner pulls arms back gently to stretch chest. Next she stretches to the side and her husband holds her pelvis down. Then she twists to the side and he also holds down her hips and assists with the twist by pushing into her shoulder. Hamstring stretch with towel taut around feet & partner applies pressure to assist. The next few stretches do not use the towel. Upper trapezius stretch is next. Partner applies gentle pressure to head while holding shoulder down. 2nd neck stretch is her leaning head down forward & to the side and again, gentle pressure is applied. Upper back stretch by putting hands behind head, elbows to side and partner pulls back elbows. Then in same position, lean head forward to stretch back of neck. The last pose is assisted butterfly stretch. The music is very relaxing and gentle.
Instructor comments: Tracey stated she was 28 weeks, 7 months, pregnant in the video.

I've got Crohn's disease, so it's always a chance that the tablet will go through my intestines without dissolving. That's why I started taking the tablets in microlingual form. Vitamins B are of crucial importance to those like me. The taste is nasty, but it only lasts for a couple of minutes and I eat or drink something good after taking this tablet. It gives me more energy which I do need because I feel down due to cytostatic drugs. I think I'll buy it again!

The difference between other B complex is that "Superior Source" makes me calmer in five minutes, suppose the B quantities are the reason. Good for headache. Similar to "Life Time liquid B" but portable and no need to refrigerate. 60 tablets, may be too short. Make it higher! :)

I found I had to have b12 injections because my b12 was so low that I was having memory problems! I Could not absorb b12 naturally. I started looking for a product that would save me from having to go to the doctors for injections! I found the b12 in this product! Then I was advised to take more of the 'B' s group for depression and fatigue. So I tried this product - b12+ all the Bs I needed. The difference is remarkable. Once I had trouble getting through each day:( now I have a renewed vigour!!!!! :) YAY

After a few days of sickening declines in equities prices around the Earth, you have to ask: are we now at the end of the great sucker rally of 2009? If so, it will certainly mark the end of one of the most reviled rallies in history. Volume was light the whole while, suggesting relatively few people enjoyed the run up. And the whole while, financial celebrities offered free and indiscriminate advice to an invisible audience that the rally was nothing more than a dead cat bounce. Many became new household names, their wisdom accepted by many, and embraced with high levels of conviction by some.There are a few arguments that support the end of the sucker rally story. First, technically speaking, a bunch of the broadest equities ETFs (for example, Vanguard Total Stock Index – ticker VTI) established a price "gap" last year – an area in the price of a security where nobody would purchase it at any price. Having hit those same price areas only recently, these ETFs have stalled and, indeed, reversed. The gap, the argument goes, is technical trading resistance – a ceiling, a cap on any further gains.Perhaps, but the counter to that argument is that the short-term moving averages are still well above the long-term moving averages for ETFs like VTI, having crossed over one another merely months ago. To some market technical analysts, VTI will continue to be in a long term bullish trend until the 50 day simple or exponential moving average drops below the 200 day simple or exponential moving average. That hasn't happened, and there is no way to guess ahead of time whether it will. Until it does, the technical story is patchy and unreliable.On a fundamental level, some experts suggest that expensive, hard-to-come-by credit, coupled with lower consumption and higher savings by the American consumer, destines equities prices to a lost decade or worse. Intuitively, that makes sense. People are buying less, so profits are lower, and thus, stock prices drop.Yeah, well, except for the fact that during an entire decade or more of nearly free and always easy credit, negative savings and frantic levels of extreme consumption by American consumers, equities prices in the US markets are down in real terms (and far down in currency adjusted terms). In fact, cheap and available credit and over-consumption seems to hurt, not help, equities prices. So, perhaps higher interest rates, restrictive credit availability and parsimony on the part of American consumers will actually help, or at least, not hurt, equities prices. Just think, if Americans decided to invest money, rather than fritter it. Lower credit availability equates to lower leverage, and lower leverage equates to lower systemic financial risk, and all things being equal, people pay more for assets when there's lower systemic financial risk. The argument that lower consumption, higher savings, and less credit shall doom equities prices just doesn't jibe with history.Another angle is the carry trade/ liquidity argument. Many respected experts argue that the flood of liquidity generated by central banks around the Earth has pretty much poured into risky assets, and so, when that liquidity is withdrawn by central banks, it will get pulled out of risky assets, and thus, cause the price for risky assets to drop. Again, an intuitive argument, except for the fact that it is focused on the volume, rather than velocity, of liquidity. And on an even more basic level, the argument is premised on a misconception of what liquidity actually IS.
Money is not the stuff printed by a central bank. Instead, money is nothing more than a collective belief that we are better off. True, maybe some hot printing presses at the U.S. Treasury can contribute to a sense that we are better off, but probably not. Real liquidity will come when businesses and individuals simply believe in the system more, believe in their futures more, believe that investments and transactions will pay off more. THAT belief is the stuff that lifts asset prices, not pieces of paper pumped into the banking system. And that belief is, if anything, in short supply, rather than over-supply, at the moment. The real price for assets will go up only when this belief is increasing on average, and the printing campaign going on across the worlds' central banks will have only a tangential impact at best. People will pay more for risky assets if they feel better about the future, and will pay less for risky assets if they don't – and that is irrespective of the volume paper sloshing around the system. Accordingly, it does not necessarily have to follow that when this printing campaign ends (and who can say when that will be), it will trigger a wholesale regurgitation of risk onto the capital markets.So are we at the end of the great sucker's rally? I can't say, but at least some of the arguments suggesting that we are don't hold water.

Is there a way to efficiently(ie: without building the actual triangle) to find out which row a number first occurs in in Pascal's triangle?
This is equivalent to answering: given A
what is the smallest number m
such that there exists n
such that m choose n = A
. This is due to the fact that a number at row m
and column n
in Pascal's triangle is equal to m choose n
