SNOW HILL — Doris Blizzard began getting dialysis treatments Feb. 6, 1986 — almost 27 years ago.
It may not be the world record-breaker, but it's a whole lot longer than the average survival rate of 5-10 years without a kidney transplant.
Tina Everette, a patient care technician with the DaVita dialysis center in Snow Hill who was at Blizzard's home Monday, described her as "spunky."
"She has a lot of life left in her," Everette said.
Blizzard, 74, said she isn't exactly sure why her kidneys failed, but she was diagnosed with chronic nephritis, an inflammation in the kidneys, and she currently has cysts on her kidneys.
She went to a doctor when her eyes were swollen and was treated for a couple weeks. The doctor then sent her to a specialist.
It was 10 years before she started having dialysis — 18 years in Kinston, two years in Greenville and finally in Snow Hill when the center was built.
"I've never missed a day, but one day in 27 years," Blizzard said.
The Greene County native underwent peritoneal dialysis, where the blood is cleaned inside the body, for a couple of years. For most of those years, she has and continues to receive hemodialysis with a machine — basically an artificial kidney.
Neither of her kidneys functions. She goes to the DaVita center near her home in Snow Hill three hours a day, three days a week. It's a tiring process, but one that is vital for survival.
"I come home and it'll take me a half a day to sleep it off," she said, adding her good days are the other four days of the week.
She has to take medication to prevent getting an upset stomach.
About a month and half ago Blizzard got a painful blood clot in her leg at the access point for dialysis. Following her bout in the hospital, she's using a wheelchair until it gets better.
Joetta Cox, a social worker at DaVita, said the staff decided to award Blizzard on Monday with the longest time on dialysis in the company because of her serious blood clot condition. But the pain is easing up, Blizzard said.
"I don't know," Cox said, "she must have good genes. She thinks what she wants, she does what she wants to do and she eats what she wants to eat."
Blizzard said the grace of God, her church and her family are what keep her going. She has four children, a daughter-in-law and five grandchildren to help her, and two great-grandchildren.
One of her grandchildren, Amanda Harrell of Hookerton, is also a registered nurse who visits her daily.
"She eats in moderation," Harrell said about Blizzard's' dietary habits, "and she restricts her fluids."
Her aide, Sabrina Edwards, has been assisting her for the past two years.
"She is very positive and very independent," Sabrina Edwards said. "She tries to do on her own. She doesn't give up."
An online search revealed a few people who have exceeded 45 years on dialysis. Blizzard said, matter-of-factly, she plans to see her current descendents grow up.
"Every day you can get up and see the light of day," she said, "is a good thing."

Cat Testicular Cancer
Cat Testicular Cancer
While testicular Cat Cancer is rare in younger cats, it is considered one of the more common tumors in cats that are intact as they reach their senior years.
These tumors are most commonly found in older intact males. They can, however, occur at any age. Causes are unknown. Cats that have un-descended testicles are much more likely to develop these tumors in those testicles. There are no other obvious causes for testicular cancer or tumors.
There are three different types of tumors: seminomas, sertoli cell and interstitial cell. All of these tumors are treated the same way as a rule. They generally result in castration of your cat.
Types of Tumors and their progression
Interstitial tumors have very few symptoms and do metastasize or produce any estrogen. They are not thought to be much of a problem.
Sertoli tumors will appear with testicular and scrotal swelling. If the cat has undescended testicles they will experience a Cat Swollen Abdomen or swelling of the inguinal area. Half of these tumors will produce estrogen. This will cause hyperestrogenism. When this occurs there will be prostate enlargement as well as mammary glands. There will be anemia and hair loss and other male cats will be attracted to your male cat. There is a possibility that this type of tumor will metastasize to the other parts of the body, but this is not a common occurrence.
Seminomas will also cause swelling of the scrotum, inguinal, abdominal and testicular areas. This type of tumor does not usually metastasize but has been known to in about 5% of the cases that have been reported.
All of the diagnoses are based on what symptoms are presented to your veterinarian, the history of the swelling and identification through biopsy. If a cat has been diagnosed with testicular cancer there should also be X-rays taken of the abdomen and chest to check for possible metastasis. Blood work consisting of a complete blood count and chemistry panel should also be done.
The usual treatment is castration of the cat. This is very successful and there is seldom need for further treatment, especially in healthy cats. There are instances when metastasis occurs that some chemotherapy will be used.
This can be summed up in three words: usually very good. With the low rate of metastasis that usually occurs, castration will usually take care of the problem. Cats with an increased level of estrogen will usually have fewer symptoms after castration. Occasionally there are instances of severe hyperestrogenism that will also result in anemia. In this case more aggressive treatment is indicated. If the tumors have metastasized, the prognosis is more guarded. The outcome in these instances will vary with type, treatment and location.
Prevention is the key. The primary prevention is Cat Sterilization of all male cats. If you have young cats castrated it will also prevent some aggression, marking, roaming and a host of other undesirable traits. Having a male neutered is a safe and inexpensive preventative treatment for these and many other undesirable characteristics. If the testicles are not descended they should always be castrated. The owner should not settle for anything less than having both testicles removed.

Agencies suffering reductions in services even before furloughs occur
Thursday - 3/14/2013, 5:26am EDT
Sequestration-related furloughs may still be at least a month away, but agencies already are feeling the effects of budget cuts.
Border Patrol agents, Transportation Security officers and many other federal employees are beginning to experience major changes in how they do their jobs.
Both Border Patrol agents and TSOs have been told by their respective agencies — Customs and Border Protection and the Transportation Security Administration — that one way they will deal with cuts from sequestration is by ending overtime for workers.
"Right now, TSA lives on overtime. That's how we man a lot of the lanes that are open," said Stacy Bodtmann, a TSO and vice president of AFGE in Region 1, Wednesday during a press conference held by the American Federation of Government Employees in Washington. "We also are short staffed at a lot of the airports and overtime fills that gap. Right now, at many of the airports you will see [a smaller number of] lanes opened, which will increase the lines."
Stacy Bodtmann, vice president, AFGE in Region 1
As of now, TSA does not plan to furlough employees. But Bodtmann said that could change as it has to make up budget shortfalls brought on by sequestration.
TSA is not alone in having to use overtime to fill gaps in coverage.
Border Patrol agents routinely work 18-to-20 hours of overtime per pay period.
CBP, however, will no longer let agents work overtime starting April 7, said Shawn Moran, a vice president of AFGE's National Border Patrol Council.
He said between the loss of overtime and potential furloughs of 14 days, agents would see a 40 percent pay cut.
The end of overtime?
One Border Patrol union representative said overtime is a way of life for Border Patrol agents and it's not because of the desire to receive more pay, but because CBP can't hire enough staff to man the borders and the vastness of the border.
The representative said some agents have to travel an hour or more to get to their stations and oversee their areas of responsibilities. Additionally, if they arrest illegal immigrants, they have to complete paperwork. Many times, the overtime is more about getting the job done than just milking the system, he said.
Moran said the impact of no overtime already is being felt.
"At the Rio Grande Valley sector, specifically the McGowan, Texas, Border Patrol station, 10 days ago apprehended 1,000 illegal aliens in one weekend," he said. "Agents questioned the illegal aliens as to why they were crossing. They were under the understanding they would be released from our detention facilities and there would be no consequences. These weren't groups we were chasing. These were groups of hundreds that would come across, sit down and surrender. That is a definite concern for our agents."
Moran said he's concerned that the overtime will never come back.
"It's one that the Border Patrol has paid since at least the 1960s, and they are still advertising in hiring sprees that they will be paying this regular and reoccurring overtime and it's just a flat out lie," Moran said.
The furloughs and cuts to overtime are equivalent to having 5,000 fewer border agents on the job, AFGE said.
Beyond the cuts in overtime, agencies are seeing impacts before sequestration takes place in other ways.
SSA offers new round of early retirements
The Social Security Administration is offering early retirements to eligible employees but not buyouts.
Steve Kofahl, the vice president of AFGE's National Council of SSA Field Operations Locals, said employees have a wide window of time to retire a bit earlier than usual this fiscal year.
"Our concern is that not only is this going to accelerate the loss of workers at our agency and increase stress on everyone who is left behind, it also will have a tremendous impact on the public because our most experienced workers are the ones eligible for these early outs," he said. "With early outs, people can retire if they have enough years of service and have reached the age of 50, for instance. But there is no cash up front as there is with buyouts. We did ask the agency about buyout possibilities so we could avoid furloughs, but the agency decided they weren't going to do that and they were going to offer early outs over an extended period instead."
Kofahl said SSA's workforce has been fairly stable and there haven't been too many employees who have taken buyouts or early outs. But he said the working environment is getting more stressful and more people are strongly considering leaving.
He said SSA is in its second year of a hiring freeze, has closed 47 field offices and 300 contact stations, and has cut office hours across the board by 23 percent.
SSA needs to find a way to cut $386 million from its budget under sequestration.
"As the stress increases, as the public becomes more angry, as people get frustrated because we have reduced our office hours because we can't answer the phones and because claims take much longer to process, it becomes so unpleasant for our workers," Kofahl said. "If they have an option, they may well take it and we'll lose some of our best people."
SSA has yet to decide whether furloughs will take place yet. Kofahl said based on what he's seeing with the budget on Capitol Hill, furloughs are a distinct possibility.
12 days of furlough for BoP
The Bureau of Prisons also is feeling the effects of having to reduce its budget.
Dale Deshotel, the president of AFGE's Council of Prison Locals, said changes are happening already, even before the Bureau has to reduce its budget by $338 million in part by furloughing employees for 12 days.
Dale Deshotel, president, AFGE Council of Prison Locals
"For Bureau of Prisons officers, there will be no overtime, no travel and no more training," Deshotel said. "Training that is important in law enforcement. Training that has to be sudden, no time to think, reactionary, and it will be gone. Our staffing will be cut to extremely dangerous situations."
Additionally, BOP will stop work on five new prisons set to house 8,000 prisoners.
"These new facilities were meant to relieve some of the problems of prison overcrowding," Deshotel said. "Not opening them will only worsen problems in our prison system, and increase the stress, danger and overall ineffectiveness for correction officers."
He added prisons are anywhere from 30 percent-to-40 percent overcrowded today.
SSA's Kofahl said each of these agencies is facing a "death by a thousand cuts."
Despite AFGE's attempts to put a face on cuts because of sequestration, lawmakers haven't acted to stop it or even replace it with what many call more rational cuts.
The House passed a spending bill for fiscal 2013 that keeps the spending reductions from sequestration in place, but gives the Defense Department more flexibility to deal with them.
The Senate is debating a bill that would make only minor changes to sequestration-related cuts.
Worse than a shutdown
J. David Cox, AFGE's national president, said Congress has yet to realize the impact sequestration cuts will have on the nation. He said this isn't a federal employee issue, but one for all citizens.
Cox summed up the challenge of getting Congress to understand the impact of the cuts by using the old analogy of a frog being boiled alive but he doesn't realize it because it starts in cold water.
"I believe the frog at this point is in lukewarm water. It's still kind of cool and nice to swim around in, and everyone's talking. Eventually that water is going to get so hot, you will not be able to stand it," he said. "The sad part is I'm afraid people will be boiled alive and not realize they were in the cold water. This is not like a government shutdown. I believe this is 10,000 times worse than a government shutdown. A government shutdown that brings the government to a halt very quickly gets attention, and even though in 1995, we were about two weeks into the shutdown before the American public said we weren't going to put up with this anymore. This is one of those things, each morning, you are going to wake up and the situation is going to be worse."

The data focus notice sheets had demonstrated warm and waterproof garments as necessities for the trip. It immediately turned out that what I thought was a sort of waterproof coat wasn't close at all. My Volleys were at that point adjusted with a rubbish pack to secure my feet from the gap that accompanies cheap shoes and the past days track around Dove Lake.
'I'm almost certain I can see the top right there,' Jeremy said for the fourth time in the past hour. Once more, it wasn't the top. The perceivability on the mountain was so low and my body so cool in the rain that I accepted him, until I made it over enough rocks to see that the summit was still over the opposite side of the valley. Ugh.
"Well," I answered, 'I'm wearing the gloves for some time then.' The only pair of gloves between us was overwhelming with downpour and fingerless, yet offered some solace and a spongy support against the solidifying rock. Maybe I wouldn't lose my fingers to frostbite all things considered, a thought I'd been enlivening for the last half hour or somewhere in the vicinity as we climbed.
The track to Cradle Mountain's summit is 6 to 8 hours however there were just 5 hours of daylight left when we began, and with $60 paid to stop the auto in the national park for the 2 days, and this being the "better" of the two to climb, we were doing it.
Nobody needs to recount the story of climbing only half a portion of a mountain, and with a couple more complaints we needed to continue moving.
Red tipped shafts are implanted into the stones to guide the trip to the summit. While we thought we were at long last at the top, they uncovered a slope down one side of the support, before the last vertical ascension. I'd contemplated stopping everything in a variety of times in the most recent hour particularly – I was frosty, drenched and tired of moving for very little compensation. I realized that in the event that we arrived at the top, the downpour and haze would cover any perspective of the national parks magnificence. White fog encompassed us on all sides.
In the wake of smoldering through all my upper body strength, arriving at the top we had a hour and a half left to make it once more to the base before dusk. The stops to take a gander at and take photographs of the rotting track, the overgrown plants developing out of odd rock creations or the moonscapes that showed up in dinky water pools were over. We crab slithered and dropped ourselves back up the rocks with pace, however wound up (not lost) trekking very nearly in rounds around the side of the mountain.
We'd seen an Overland trail explorer on our path back up with an oversized fluro black tactical backpack and I pondered, as we cleared out of the park, on the off chance that he'd made it to the night's checkpoint – a wooden lodge and exactly how much more days he had left to complete his trip.

The State of Feminism at the Millennium: Can Women Lead?
Barbara Ehrenreich is one of the most astute and poignant social critics of our time. An influential and outspoken speaker, author, and journalist, she adeptly addresses political, historical, and social issues. Her style of social criticism has been described by The New York Times as "elegant, trenchant, savagely angry, morally outraged and outrageously funny."
A prolific author and columnist, she wrote The Hearts of Men: American Dreams and the Flight from Commitment (1983), The Snarling Citizen: Essays (1995), The Worst Years of Our Lives: Irreverent Notes from a Decade of Greed (1990), and Fear of Falling: The Inner Life of the Middle Class (1989), the last of which was nominated for a National Book Critics Award in 1989. Barbara Ehrenreich's latest book, Blood Rites: Origins and History of the Passions of War (1997), traces the physiological and psychological forces that have molded humanity's ancient fascination with war. In her work, Ehrenreich explores the role of man as both hunter and hunted and touches upon issues of resource depletion, gender discrimination, and the transcendence of the war instinct into modern social society.
Ehrenreich's essays and columns have appeared in Esquire, Vogue, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post Magazine, Harpers, and The Nation. She has been an essayist for Time since 1990 and is a columnist for The Guardian in London.
While Ehrenreich is an accomplished and noted author and journalist, she is best known for her outspoken challenges to the contemporary social order. A frequent guest on radio and television shows, Ehrenrelch has appeared on Today, Good Morning America, Nightline, Crossfire, The Phil Donahue Show, and All Things Considered. Ehrenreich has lectured internationally on political, social, and humanitarian issues. Ehrenreich joins us this week at the Athenaeum to discuss leadership roles for women as we approach the millennium.

Marty's contributions to both the academic and public understanding of religion have been recognized with the awarding of the National Humanities Medal, the Medal of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and 59 honorary degrees. His deep interest in the role of religion in American political and social life have led to his positions as the George B. Caldwell Senior Scholar-in-Residence at the Park Ridge Center for the Study of Health, Faith and Ethics in Chicago, and as director of the Public Religion Project. The latter program, funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts, addresses the issue of public expressions of faith in a diverse society. Martin E. Marty's appearance at the Athenaeum is the second of the Gould lecture series on the theme of Messiahs and the Millennium.
The Jefferson Chamber Players: An Evening at Monticello
JUDITH NELSON, soprano
ELIZABETH BLUMENSTOCK, violin
ELAINE THORNBURGH, harpsichord
In 1818 Thomas Jefferson wrote to Nathaniel Burwell: "Music is invaluable where a person has an ear ... It furnishes a delightful recreation for the hours of respite from the cares of the day, and lasts us through life." Indeed, music played an important part in every phase of Jefferson's life. As a youth, he practiced his violin three hours a day, and as a student in Williamsburg, played well enough to perform in weekly concerts at the Governor's Palace. With daughters Maria and Martha and his wife, Martha Wayles Skelton, he spent many an evening performing music for family and guests at Monticello. From his substantial personal collection of sheet music, we know that Jefferson admired the works of such 17th and 18th-century European masters as Haydn, Boccherini, Purcell, and Rameau, as well as Scottish songs and melodies by compatriot Francis Parkinson.
The Jefferson Chamber Players have been recreating musical evenings at Monticello since 1987. Elizabeth Blumenstock, one of America's preeminent Baroque violinists, has performed as concert mistress and soloist at the Mostly Mozart Festival, and with such ensembles as the Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra and American Bach Soloists. For the Harmonia Mundi label, she has recorded CDs of the music of Nicola Matteis and Johann Sebastian Bach. Soprano Judith Nelson, one of the world's best-known baroque singers, has enchanted concert, radio, and television audiences throughout Europe and North America with her dulcet coloratura. She has recorded more than 70 CDs and has performed with many of the world's great orchestras, including the Washington National Symphony and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Elaine Thornburgh studied harpsichord and fortepiano with the great Gustav Leonhardt and Malcolm Bilson. Her recordings include Grounds and Variations by William Byrd and a highly praised disk of sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti.
This evening's program is sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies as part of its series on music in America.
The History of Nazi Art Looting: Tracking Works Still Missing
Nazi art looting has been the subject of enormous international attention in recent years and the topic of two bestselling historical accounts, The Lost Museum: The Nazi Conspiracy to Steal the World's Greatest Works of Art (1997) and The Rape of Europa: The Fate of Europe's Treasures in the Third Reich and the Second World War (1994) by Hector Feliciano and Lynn Nicholas, respectively. Such books leave us wondering what made thoughtful, educated, artistic men and women decide to put their talents in the service of a brutal and inhuman regime? This question is the starting point for The Faustian Bargain: the Art World of Nazi Germany, Jonathan Petropoulos's forthcoming study of the key figures in the art world of Nazi Germany.
Petropoulos is the newest Associate Professor of History at Claremont McKenna College and serves as research director for art and cultural property for the Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets in the United States. He helped stage a 1992 traveling exhibition entitled Degenerate Art: The Fate of the Avant-Garde in Nazi Germany, and authored Art as Politics in the Third Reich (1996). He routinely acts as a consultant for documentary film and television programs. This semester he is teaching the freshmen honors seminar on World War II and a course on the culture and society of Weimar and Nazi Germany.
Petropoulos has explored the lives of those prominent individuals who, like Faust, that German archetype, chose to pursue artistic ends through collaboration with diabolical forces. Many of these figures even managed to rehabilitate their careers and live comfortably after the war. This postwar rehabilitation is a key to the fate of many looted artworks that have never been recovered or restituted. Petropoulos has discovered a network that flourished in the postwar period-one comprised of prominent members of the Nazi art world. Tens of thousands of looted artworks are still missing today. Professor Petropoulos's talk will focus on the history of Nazi art looting and the current disposition of lost works. His new book, The Faustian Bargain: the Art World in Nazi Germany, will be available from Oxford University Press in January.
Please join us as we explore the ongoing cultural ramifications of World War II and the impact of Nazi Germany on the art world.
Entrepreneurship: Art or Science? The Cobra Golf Story
Gary Biszantz is a model CMC entrepreneur, philanthropist, and leader. While attending Claremont Men's College, he was an outstanding athlete, serving as captain of the golf team and all-conference guard on the basketball team. Biszantz graduated with a degree in business administration in 1956 and went to work for his father's auto dealership. In 1969 he founded his own dealership, El Rancho Ford, and ran it successfully until the mid-eighties, when he sold it to focus on the expansion of Cobra Golf, a small golf club manufacturing company which he co-owned.
Biszantz was one of the principle founders of Cobra Golf in 1978 and was the driving force behind its ascension to second-largest manufacturer of premium oversized golf clubs. In 1991 he received San Diego's Entrepreneur of the Year award and was featured in Lee T. Silber's Successful San Diegans. Biszantz sold Cobra Golf to American Brands in 1996, devoting himself to his philanthropic work and his racing stable.
Since 1992, Biszantz's thoroughbreds have won 231 races and finished in the money 55% of the time. He has had winners at Los Alamitos and Santa Anita and ran a horse in the Kentucky Derby last year. Committed to improving the sport of horse racing, Biszantz serves on the Executive Committee and the Graded Stakes Committee of the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association (TOBA).
Biszantz's philanthropic record is as impressive as his entrepreneurial success. He is an active participant in the Biszantz charitable foundation, which primarily supports schools and community organizations.
Impact: How the Press Affects Federal Policy Making
The Press and Election 2000: What Do We Want and What Do We Expect?
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1999 12:15 p.m.
Martin Linsky is a full-time faculty member at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard and an expert on the relationship between politics and the media. A graduate of Harvard Law, he became an assistant attorney general for Massachusetts in 1967. Shortly thereafter, he was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives where he served until 1972. He spent the next nine years as a journalist and editor for such publications as The Boston Globe. From 1992 to 1995 he was chief secretary and then counselor to Massachusetts Governor William Weld. He has lectured at the JFK School since 1981, continuing to work as a media commentator and corporate consultant.
The impact of the media on national politics is demonstrated by the run-up to the 2000 presidential primaries. The media has chosen party front-runners before most candidates have seriously addressed the issues. The disparity between coverage of the front-runner and the closest rival has turned the polls into self-reinforcing prophesy. Linsky is the co-author of Impact: How the Press Affects Federal Policy Making (1986) and his experience in the media and politics, coupled with his extensive research on the subject, gives him firsthand knowledge of both sides of the issue.
Martin Linsky's week-long stay at CMC is funded by a grant from the E. L. Weigand Foundation Visitor-in-Residence Program.
The Politics of a National Missile Defense
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1999 12:15 p.m.
Brian Kennedy will discuss the politics of building a national missile defense in a luncheon cosponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies. Most Americans believe that the United States built a missile defense years ago with President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative. Kennedy argues that United States is not capable of stopping a single missile.
For the past two years Kennedy has directed a project at the Claremont Institute to assess the ballistic missile threat to the United States. During this time he has conducted briefings for state legislators and members of Congress on the growing strategic threat to the United States.
Kennedy is an alumnus of CMC with degrees in political science and history. Kennedy has been vice president of the Claremont Institute since 1989 and has served as the director of their Golden State Center for Policy Studies in Sacramento since 1996. He is a political scientist whose expertise includes California public policy and national security issues.
Lunch will be served at 11:45 a.m. The lecture will begin at 12:15 p.m.
An Evening of Classical Piano
American-born pianist William Grant Naboré was already an accomplished pianist at the age of ten. Born to schoolteachers who shared a passion for classical music, he grew up in an atmosphere that nourished his talents. At 17 the Italian Government awarded Naboré a scholarship to study in Rome at the Academia di Santa Cecilia with Carlo Zecchi.
Naboré received the Diploma di Perfezionamento from the Academia in 1963 and the "Paderewski" from the Conservatoire de Geneve in 1966. He continued to study piano under such great teachers as Renata Borgatti and Alicia de Larrocha.
Naboré has played in concerts all over the world with ensembles such as the Amadeus Quartet, the Talich Quartet, and the Gabrieli Quartet of London. An accomplished performer, Naboré is also a skilled teacher of his instrument and serves as the director of the International Piano Foundation. He has recorded for the ECK Accord, Diem, and Doron record labels.
William Naboré will be performing pieces by Rameau, Schubert, Granados, Chopin, and Scriabin. This recital is the first program in the Stotsenberg Chamber Music series, made possible by a generous gift from Ed and Dorothy Stotsenberg, friends of CMC.
The Russian Freedom of Conscience Act: Orthodox, Protestants, Catholics, Neopagans, Corruption
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1999 12:15 p.m.
On July 10, 1999 the Duma (Russia's Parliament) gave preliminary approval to a bill that would shrink the rights of religious minorities. The bill passed by a lopsided vote of 346 to 3 and was a compromise to the more severe legislation proposed by the Orthodox Patriarchate of Moscow.
Under the Parliamentary rules of the Duma this bill merely supports the concept of limitations on minority religious groups, and no concrete legislation will be voted on until mid-October. Still, this vote has sent a message that the Russian Parliament is ready to whittle away the rights and freedoms guaranteed to minority religious sects under the landmark 1990 Freedom of Conscience Act. The bill will make it difficult for a number of "foreign" churches to operate (such as Lutheran, Mormon, Baptist, and Seventh-Day Adventist) by denying legal status to groups who have not been registered in Russia for at least fifteen years. Unregistered groups would not be able to rent public space for services, invite foreign ministers to speak in Russia, or even conduct much of the financial activity associated with their organization.
Lawrence Uzzell has been carefully monitoring the development of this issue for the Oxford-based Keston Institute, a religious rights group. Uzzell has denounced the bill on numerous occasions, calling it "the most severe legislative setback for human rights in Moscow since the end of the Soviet Union." Uzzell is worried that this bill is only the first step in a plan by the Orthodox Patriarchate to reduce his religious competition. Mr. Uzzell believes that the potential repercussions of this bill would include government-endorsed religious persecution and the opportunity for officials to extort bribes from unregistered religious groups.
In his luncheon address Lawrence Uzzell will discuss the developments in Russia concerning religious freedom and the possible repercussions of the Patriarchate's attempts to reassert the religious and political power of Orthodoxy in Russia.
The Pirates of Penzance: A Performance Preview
RICHARD SHELDON, director
At a time when some producers feel the need to update these wise and witty Victorian treasures with modern settings or revisionist jokesmanship, Sheldon's company remains steadfast in its belief that the authors knew best.
-Alan Rich
"And it is, it is a glorious thing; to be a Pirate King." Gilbert and Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance opened on December 31, 1879 at the Fifth Avenue Theater in New York. Arthur Sullivan conducted. One hundred and twenty years later, the musical's true wit is displayed by the OPERA A LA CARTE, founded and directed by Richard Sheldon.
The OPERA A LA CARTE theater company was founded in Los Angeles in 1970. It specializes in works by Gilbert and Sullivan and has performed Cox and Box, The Mikado, H.M.S. Pinafore, Patience, Trial by jury, The Zoo, The Gondoliers, and The Pirates of Penzance. It has earned a superb reputation for a highly talented cast, authentic and traditional productions, and a clarity of diction vital to Gilbert and Sullivan's brand of musical comedy.
Gilbert and Sullivan premiered The Pirates of Penzance in New York, rather than in their native London, to prevent the unprofitable, unofficial productions which had plagued their last success, H.M.S. Pinafore. However, Sullivan left the score for the first Act in England, and, unable to wait for its arrival, had to rewrite the opening scenes. In doing so, he borrowed heavily from their first collaborative effort, Thespis.
Please join us as Director Richard Sheldon discusses this great musical comedy with members of the cast performing pieces of Pirates. The OPERA A LA CARTE will stage The Pirates of Penzance on Saturday, October 9 at Bridges Auditorium.

Drones filibuster
On March 6, 2013, Senator Rand Paul (R) led a 13-hour filibuster of President Obama's CIA Director nominee, John Brennan. Paul started the filibuster in order to highlight his concerns about the administration's drone policies. In particular, Paul said he was concerned about whether a drone could be used to kill an American citizen within the United States border, without any due process involved. Paul and other civil liberties activists criticized President Obama for not offering a clear response to the question. A total of 14 senators joined Paul in the filibuster -- 13 Republicans and one Democrat.[8][9][10]
According to the website Breitbart, Isakson was one of 30 Republican senators who did not support the filibuster.[11][12]
The day after the filibuster, Attorney General Eric Holder sent a letter to Paul, responding to the filibuster. Holder wrote, "Does the president have the authority to use a weaponized drone to kill an American not engaged in combat on U.S. soil? The answer to that is no."[13]
On November 2, 2010, Isakson won re-election to the United States Senate. He defeated Michael "Mike" Thurmond (D), Chuck Donovan (L), Steve Davis (I), Raymond Beckworth (I), and Brian Russell Brown (I) in the general election.[14]

Failure to change the power steering fluid can cause the fluid to become gray with metal particles. The contaminated fluid can damage the power steering pump resulting in a growling noise when the wheel is turned; the damaged pump will require replacement to eliminate the noise.. Life of the power steering gearbox and pump will be shortened if the fluid is not serviced regularly.
An external Engine oil leak may develop from the distributor O-ring seal. A new O-ring seal will be needed to correct this leak.
Valve seats (components in the cylinder head that help seal the valve) can fall out. When this happens, it causes rough running and creates noise. Replacement of the cylinder head is commonly required to fix this problem.
The engine may overheat due to coolant loss as a result of a cracked cylinder head. In most cases the cylinder head will require replacement to correct this concern.

CARSON, Calif. – Forward Chad Barrett was back at LA Galaxy training on Monday morning, but no decision either way about a potential move to Norway's Vålerenga.
Barrett, who is currently out of contract at the end of the year, returned from Norway last Saturday after a week-long trial with the Oslo-based club and was in attendance during the Galaxy's 3-1 victory over Chivas USA.
Following training on Monday, the 27-year-old forward did not speak with the media, but head coach Bruce Arena addressed Barrett's status.
"Chad Barrett is back from an opportunity in Norway and we're waiting for the club response this week," the Galaxy coach told reporters.
Arena also left the door open that Barrett could feature in Tuesday's friendly against Tottenham Hotspur, a team that the forward supported as a teenager.
"It's a possibility," said Arena. "Nothing is definite at this point."
Following Tottenham Hotspur's open training session at the Home Depot Center on Sunday, assembled media got a chance to speak with the Rafael van der Vaart about the upcoming friendly against the LA Galaxy.
Van der Vaart's thoughts below…
(On new head coach André Villas-Boas…)
VAN DER VAART: "There's a new coach, I think that [former head coach] Harry [Redknapp] did a great job, but the club decided something else. He's a young manger and a great manager and he wants to prove something after his few months with Chelsea. We want to win something and I think that we have a great squad and that's why it's so important to have a good preseason in LA. "
(On AVB's approach benefiting his game…)
VAN DER VAART: "It's always difficult to say and I don't like to say what is better and what is not. Every manager has his own style and I think that Harry did a fantastic job. [Villas-boas] is an honest man and I think that the team will have to work hard and I think it's a little bit different when you're manager of a national team as opposed to a club, but he can do it. He's a great man."
(On facing Donovan, Beckham and Keane…)
VAN DER VAART: "They're great men. I've played with Keano of course and he's a great lad. It's good that those kind of players play [in MLS] because soccer can become bigger and bigger in America so it's a good sign."
The Galaxy face Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday, July 24 at The Home Depot Center. Tickets for that match are still available, starting at $40, at www.lagalaxy.com/tottenham
In an interview with Fox Soccer's Mark Rogondino, longtime US International goalkeeper Brad Friedel spoke about playing in the United States and facing the LA Galaxy with Tottenham Hotspur in Tuesday's friendly. A former UCLA Bruin and native of Ohio, Friedel has spent one season with Tottenham after stints at Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers and Liverpool among others.
Friedel also amassed 82 caps with the US national team and was the goalkeeper for the US during their run to the quarterfinals of the 2002 World Cup.
Friedel's quotes from the interview below...
(On coming back to America…)
FRIEDEL: "It's strange, the only time that we'd come to the States when I was with Blackburn, I'd always seem to miss out so it's nice to come back especially to LA. It's been a long time since I've seen some of my old friends and I'll see a couple of them tonight so it's good."
(On his preparations for the upcoming season with Tottenham…)
FRIEDEL: "Personally, I just get through preseason and make sure that I don't have any injuries. I think that mainly what the boys do is that you just want to pick up fitness. Having a league that's in the middle of the season also helps us because their fitness levels are a lot higher than ours are. Having a new manager, he's going to want to use this game to see all the players, which is very important for him as well. All in all, coming in on tours like this are a good bonding experience with the new staff and the new players so these are very good.
(On facing the LA Galaxy and the rising standard of MLS…)
FRIEDEL: "For many years, many people were asking about MLS and they were always asking about the [contract] figures that they saw in the paper with Beckham so they'd ask me, 'can you get me there? can you get me there?' But the notoriety of MLS has come on incredible amounts especially with Thierry Henry and [Robbie Keane] coming over here and David Beckham of course. Also the likes of Landon Donovan when he comes over and does really well at Everton and that picks it up and Keano did really well with Aston Villa when he came back. All those things help the league. We have take our hat off to all the financial people who have kept in the game with MLS because there were a couple of times where it was on really shaky ground and they've stuck with it and put a really good product on the field now."

On the Anticipation of IPO Underpricing: Evidence from Equity Carve-outs
2008, Journal of Corporate Finance
Lawrence Benveniste, Huijing Fu, Paul Seguin, Xiaoyun Yu
We investigate IPO market efficiency using a sample of equity carve-outs offered during the period of 1985-2005. Unlike IPOs examined in previous studies where trading during the pre-IPO book-building period does not exist and trading on the IPO date is rationed, in equity carve-outs, investors can trade in the non-rationed market for shares of the parent, which holds a significant fraction of the subsidiary. We find that the subsidiary's initial day return is significantly related to its parent's return over the book-building period, but unrelated to its parent's contemporaneous return. Neither the pre-IPO price revision of the subsidiary nor the return to the parent on the initial trading day can be predicted. While the portion of the subsidiary's initial return unpredictable from information available during the book-building period is significantly related to its parent's contemporaneous return, the predictable component of the initial return is not. We interpret these results as evidence consistent with market efficiency.
Benveniste, Lawrence, Huijing Fu, Paul Seguin, and Xiaoyun Yu (2008), "On the Anticipation of IPO Underpricing: Evidence from Equity Carve-outs", Journal of Corporate Finance, Vol. 14, pp. 614-629.

It makes perfect sense. Take high-performance rangefinding technology and combine it with the highly successful Swarovski EL binocular to create the Swarovski EL Range Binocular. Precise measuring starts with a steady hand and is achieved by the balanced, ergonomic build of the EL Range. SWARO-AIM equips you with a new angled-shot program that displays the angle of the binocular to the object, and the corrected ballistic shooting distance, making it ideal for determining precise distance and exact aim. You'll easily read measurements on the LCD display by utilizing one of five individually adjustable brightness levels or the automatic brightness adjustment. Swarovski's razor-sharp, top-quality optics allow for exceptional transmission to give you bright and high contrast images and complete the EL Range as a top-notch hunting tool. Swarovski provides a 2-year limited warranty.

There's quite a bit of pressure off the Oak Hill Academy Raiders (2-6; 1-1) compared to what they faced last Friday. They were coming off a big non-league loss to Lamar, trying to bounce back in the most important district game to date against Manchester Academy.
This week, the Raiders' contest against Kirk Academy (2-6) does not have any direct playoff implications. The game, however, could effect how the Raiders play in their next district match, as they will spend the next two weeks getting ready for the final-week showdown against Winston.
The Raiders will enjoy home field advantage for the fifth time this season. They do have one away win, a victory at Hebron, but their lone conference win came at Oak Hill against Carroll.
That Carroll win came on the heels of the 46-12 win over the Eagles in week five. After starting out 0-4, the Raiders bounced back for two wins in a row.
The Hebron game was non-district, but it gave them a lot of momentum going into that following week against the Rebels.
The Raiders are hoping for a repeat of that, as they try to take down Kirk and Marshall Academy before facing their next district foe.
So far this season, Kirk and Oak Hill match up with similar numbers.
Both have the same win-loss record, with Kirk having a 1-2 district record. On both winning occasions, Kirk has come out big with a 41-0 win over West Memphis Christian and a 26-6 win over Manchester.
In the other six games, however, Kirk has had troubles on both sides of the ball. The Kirk Raiders have given up 30 or more points in all six of their losses.
The home Raiders are hoping to bounce back and hand Kirk another big loss tonight.
Kickoff will be at 7 p.m., at Oak Hill.

ACU students develop student newspaper app
Settle down, students! Your assignment this semester is to develop an app for the Apple iPad!
That was the task that faced students at Abilene Christian University in Texas earlier this year—before the iPad had even been released! They had the software development kit from Apple and a rough model of the iPad made of wood, approximating the size of the new platform. Their challenge was to build, test, and submit the app so that it would be available in the App Store when the iPad when on sale—ready, set, code!

Kurtley Beale says the heightened pressure of a quarter-final won't deter them from 'having a crack' from broken field situations in Wellington on Sunday.
The Wallabies have consistently punished the Springboks from situations where they've turned the ball over at the breakdown or where the defending champions have kicked poorly. With white-hot winger Digby Ioane back in the mix, their back three (Beale and James O'Connor completing the trio) has a formidable look about it, and along with Quade Cooper, they are equipped to inflict serious damage if allowed to.
Openside flank David Pocock is expected to be a force at the breakdown and the Springboks' kick-chase method, if not executed flawlessly, will increase the opportunity for broken field surges. Beale said their first instinct remains to run it back, but stressed that assessing the intelligence of that decision quickly would be key to success.
'They generally kick on you and back their defensive system to pressure you into penalties. It has always been a big tactic of the Boks. We tried to simulate that situation today in training and we're pretty confident we can handle it when it comes,' he said.
'South Africa generally set a solid brick wall in front of you. When that's the situation you generally kick it back, but where their line is unset and you can run at a couple of big forwards, we'll have a crack.'
The Springboks have improved in their structural understanding and implementation of a new defensive system instituted by assistant coach Jacques Nienaber. It mimics the Stormers' system exactly (Nienaber fill the same role there). Flyhalf Quade Cooper played in the Reds team who were one of the few to unlock the Cape side consistently, most notably through superb tactical kicking. However, Cooper said the Wallabies wouldn't try to replicate that approach.
'Our game plan with the Reds is a lot different to ours with the Wallabies, simply because we have the very best players in Australia available. Our approach with the Reds was tailored around the players we had. The Wallabies have a very different group with different strengths, so it makes sense to harness those.'
While the Wallabies are reluctant to kick away possession, Cooper didn't dismiss the chance they may do so as a point accumulation tactic, through the drop goal. This hasn't featured as a option for them to date, but the Reds did use it to their advantage in Super Rugby.
'World Cups have been decided on drop goals and we have a lot of guys who can do it. The drop goals we kicked for the Reds weren't necessarily aimed at winning matches. We used it to keep pressure on the opposition. If we've played through a couple of phases and had teams under the pump, the three points can be a buffer that serves you well later in the match,' he said. 'There may be a moment late in the game where we need one for the win, and if that moment comes we're confident we have the response in the bag.'
The Wallabies have won five of their last six Tests against the Springboks. Cooper conceded that it makes them favourites, but stressed that the Springboks' experience in winning play-off matches at the World Cup should be taken into account.
'We do take an edge into the match because of past results. But they have the runs on the board in the World Cup, and [this generation] has never played them at a World Cup before.'

The shell fit perfectly, but he cardigan sweater was too large. The size was a petite medium; I am hoping to be able to exchange the sweater for a smaller size

Twin Set
The sweater arrived promptly. I've ordered from Chadwick's in the past, and although the twin set is nice, I was disappointed in the quality compared to past purchases. Even on sale, I thought the quality wasn't up to par for the price. I am glad I did not pay full price for the set.

This sweater set has a nice texture. It fits according to size. Forest color was a little lighter than I expected but still nice.

GAME NOTES: A pair of Big 12 Conference teams seemingly headed in opposite directions do battle on Saturday night, as the 13th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners pay a visit to the West Virginia Mountaineers.
Oklahoma comes into this clash sporting a 7-2 overall record and a 5-1 mark in conference. The Sooners, who are perfect 3-0 on the road this season, took care of visiting Baylor last Saturday, 42-34, running their current winning streak to three games. Despite only suffering the one loss against another Big 12 member, OU will need some help if it hopes to win the conference crown as that lone league defeat came against undefeated and first-place Kansas State (24-19) back on Sept. 22.
In addition to this bout, the Sooners still have to play rival Oklahoma State at home next Saturday, and then close the curtain on the regular season the following week at TCU. With last week's victory, head coach Bob Stoops moved into second place on the school's all-time wins list with 146.
West Virginia shot out of the gate this season, riding the hot hand of one- time Heisman hopeful quarterback Geno Smith to a 5-0 start. But since surviving its first two Big 12 bouts against Baylor (70-63) and Texas (48-48), the Mountaineers have lost four straight. Their most recent setback took place last Saturday at Oklahoma State (55-34), and WVU has surrendered an average of 49.5 ppg during its current slide. Add the two high-scoring wins over the Bears and Longhorns, and the Mountaineers have been torched for 51 ppg in those six bouts. West Virginia is still one win away from earning bowl eligibility, and it will have opportunity to accomplish that feat either this week against Oklahoma, next week at Iowa State, or in the regular-season finale at home versus Kansas.
The all-time series between these two historic programs is knotted at 2-2, with the most recent matchup going to West Virginia in a 48-28 decision in the 2008 Fiesta Bowl.
Both of these teams are capable of lighting up the scoreboard with alarming frequency, with the Sooners averaging 39.8 ppg and the Mountaineers an even 40.0 ppg. Defensively is where they are vastly different however, with Oklahoma giving up just 19.6 ppg and West Virginia an embarrassing 41.4 ppg.
The Oklahoma offense is led by veteran QB Landry Jones, and he has been rock- solid for the most part this season, throwing for 2,691 yards, 18 TDs and only seven interceptions. Other standouts for the Sooners include RB Damien Williams (113 carries, 687 yards, nine TDs), backup QB Blake Bell who has been used primarily as a runner (10 rushing TDs), and WRs Kenny Stills (54 receptions, 682 yards, six TDs) and Justin Brown (41 receptions, 537 yards, four TDs).
As for the OU defense, it has done a solid job against the pass (170.2 ypg), permitting just three TDs through the air. Tony Jefferson paces the unit with 79 tackles, while Javon Harris has a team-high four interceptions.
Jones threw for 277 yards and two TDs, and Williams ran for 99 yards and a pair of scores to help push the Sooners past Baylor last weekend. Brown led the receiving corps with six grabs for 83 yards and a TD, while RB Brennan Clay scored a pair of TDs, one on the ground and one through the air.
The Sooners limited Baylor to a season-low 172 passing yards, but the Bears did manage to rumble their way to 252 yards and four TDs on the ground. Both Harris (14 tackles) and Jefferson (11 tackles) were all over the field for OU, which allowed BU to convert 11-of-20 third-down attempts, and did not force a turnover.
Jefferson spoke after the game about his unit's lack of big plays, and how it has a direct impact on the flow of a game.
"We didn't cause any turnovers, and that ties into the score. We gave up some third downs and some big plays and we can't do that. Our main thing is that we have to get some turnovers. That's three games in a row where we've only gotten one turnover."
The Sooners are going to need to bring their 'A-game' against a West Virginia passing attack that features the record-setting Smith, who has thrown for more than 3,000 yards this season with an eye-popping TD-to-INT ratio of 31-3. Taking full advantage of their gifted gunslinger's exploits are WRs Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey, the two combining for a whopping 171 catches, 2,023 yards and 27 TDs. When the Mountaineers decide to keep the ball on the ground, its RB Andrew Buie who gets the call more times than not, and he has responded by producing 646 yards and five TDs.
As mentioned, the WVU defense has been absolutely dreadful this season, particularly against the pass as it yields (345.2 ypg, 27 TDs) almost as much as the offense generates (347.6 ypg, 33 TDs). Isaiah Bruce leads the team with 80 tackles, while Josh Francis has 15 TFL and has combined with Terrence Garvin to record 8.5 sacks. Not surprisingly, the Mountaineers have come up with only seven interceptions, and their scoring yield ranks 117th in the country entering this week's action.
In last week's loss to Oklahoma State, Smith completed 36-of-54 passes for 364 yards and two TDs, with Bailey finishing with 14 grabs for 225 yards and a score, and Austin hauling in 11 balls for 79 yards and a TD as well. WVU lost a pair of fumbles and allowed three sacks.
The defense let the Mountaineers down once again, as it gave up 443 yards and six TDs (two rushing, four passing) to the Cowboys. Pat Miller paced the unit with six stops, all of them solo efforts, and the unit as a whole was credited with only two sacks and one takeaway.
Despite Oklahoma's propensity for curtailing the opposition's passing attack, Smith likes his team's chances in this one.
"It's a good opportunity for our wideouts to have some one-on-one matchups, and it's up to me to put the ball in the right spot. It's a good opportunity for us, and I'm looking forward to it."
Regardless of the confidence exhibited by WVU's field general, the Mountaineers are in a serious tailspin and taking on another ranked foe, whether it be at home or on the road, isn't going to make their job any easier. Expect the Sooners to prevail in what should be another relatively high-scoring affair.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Oklahoma 49, West Virginia 35

Coffee starts to stale 10 minutes after it is ground! Grinding before you brew is important for a good cup of coffee. Here are some factors to consider when choosing a coffee mill-
- How do you brew your coffee? (Filtercone and paper filter? Espresso? French Press?)
- How much coffee do you need to grind at one time? (Will determine which capacity hopper you need.)
- How much you want to spend? (Though money will buy you a better grinder, there are some alternatives to get you in your grind range, keep reading.)
For drip coffee consider a mid priced conical milll from Baratza. If money or countertop space is a factor, a whirling blade mill like the Bodum Bistro will do the trick. A less noisy option is a manual mill which gives you an even grind and can be a good choice if you are brewing only one cup at a time.
For a good espresso extraction you will need a quality coffee grinder that can achieve a fine even grind. Our mills for espresso are built to last and are serviceable after warranty. An inexpensive alternative to an eletric mill is a manual mill, which will give you a fine enough grind for espresso, though it will take some time and muscle to achieve.
You can compare any of our mills based on the the "Additional Info" information we give for each mill. We also include the grind range so you can determine if the mill is right for your brew method of choice.
