Re: Musings of a Live Aboard
FWIW, my wife once went into a laundromat and found someone who had gotten his sneakers all wet and muddy in the rain. He took his shoes (mud and all), threw them in the dryer, and inserted his coins to dry them out. Ever since then, she has absolutely refused to ever use a laundromat. (Well, maybe once she made an exception when we were on vacation for 2 weeks and ran out of some essential clothes items.)
I know that when cruising on vacation, laundry is almost unnecessary because you wear much fewer clothes (mostly bathings suits and T-shirts in our case). And I had forgotten how well lifelines and heavy clothespins could work for drying - we did that when we chartered.
But my question was more directed at full-time liveaboards, where you need to eventually confront the issue of laundry. Given my wife's aversion to public laundromats, it is a major issue that we would have to deal with. Like I said, liveaboard just ain't gonna happen for us, so it's largely hypothetical anyway.

I have used several flea collars over the years, this one included. Flea collars just don't work and usually they smell unpleasant. I find a spot treatment such as Frontline or Revolution works much better. Not to mention flea collars are for fleas and ticks - the spot treatments kill and repel many more parasites your dog will come in contact with such as mites and lice.
Pros: None
Cons: Does not work

Flea collars are not a good alternative for flea control. A flea collar can cause irritation and wounds to the skin. We have treated many serious skin conditions due to flea collars.
Pros: May control some fleas
Cons: Can harm your pet

It started out as a cool, cloudy morning at Hightower Park in Altus, where a long rainbow shined as a sign of good things to come for 62 year-old retired Air Force Vietnam Veteran, Alan Barth. A group of friends, other Air Force retirees once stationed in Altus, saw him off as he embarked on a 51 mile journey on foot along highway 62 from Altus to Lawton. Like the two years prior, Barth walked to raise awareness and donations for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).
Soon, the morning turned to afternoon and temperatures rose. It poured during the late afternoon hours and he got drenched along the highway until the sun came out again. By 7:30 p.m., with nearly 20 miles to go, the clouds opened up wide with rain and lightning. Regretfully, the gutsy humanitarian from Lawton, had to throw in the towel and call a friend for a ride. Still, 31 miles in Oklahoma weather is no walk in the park.
Barth stated that by then, his footsteps had become smaller and smaller, and was unsure if he would have been able to complete the entire stretch. He reported no cardiovascular problems or hydration problems, except that "the highway will beat your feet to nothing."
This was Barth's third attempt to complete the walk. In 2012 he had to cut it short due to the high temperatures reflecting off of the highway asphalt, yet last year he successfully completed the entire trek.
"I think an ideal thing would be to have it relayed, but still I wanted the hardship factor in there," Barth said. "I don't see why two healthy people couldn't do 25 miles a piece. Although I'm bushed, I had good conditions all day." Barth even hopes that two, 2 man teams will be able to do the walk next year.
This morning, although feeling a little disappointed that he didn't complete the entire walk, the kids at the Lawton Christian School (LCS) were excited to greet him as they did last year. They even presented him a letter stating that the school had collected $300 to donate to the MDA in his name.
"This is our 2nd year to partner with Barth," Stacy Simmons, LCS Elementary School Director said today. "This year, all the kids got together and made signs outside to greet him and cheer him on. It was a school-wide effort from Preschool to High school to raise $300 dollars in honor of Mr. Barth's walk." Last year, the school had made signs to see him off as he traveled eastbound to Altus.
"He was a little disappointed that he didn't meet his goal, but the kids enjoyed seeing him an letting him know we were proud of him for what he has achieved," Simmons said. "The kids were super excited."
ABC will air the MDA Telethon on Aug. 31, from 8-10 p.m.

THE Cardiff City Football Club are not prescribing a fixed method in assisting Malaysia to develop the game at the grassroots.
The club's chief executive officer Gethin Jenkins said Malaysia would need to discover their own style to scale greater heights in the beautiful game with a huge global appeal.
"We need to find out and understand the current programmes before offering suggestions to improve the skills of budding footballers.
"We are not saying that Malaysia should follow a certain structure. Our aim is to give back because we have received tremendous support from Malaysia.
"We want to contribute by setting up training centres for the youngsters here. Malaysia will definitely need to play to their strengths in adopting the right system," Jenkins said.
And Cardiff City, boosted with a recruitment of 25 community officers under their banner, have indicated their willingness to share their experiences in educating young beginners to help them build a strong foundation and pick up good fundamental skills.
Jenkins was in town for the launch of the 1Malaysia Cardiff City (1MCC) junior football Under-12 league at the Rubber Research Institute (RRI) in Sungai Buloh on Saturday.
Among the other representatives from the Welsh side keeping a watchful eye on the budding footballers in action were the trio of Neal Ardley (academy head), Steve Ellis (education academy) and Scott Young (community academy).
Malaysian philanthropist Tan Sri Vincent Tan has forged a special link by coming in as the major shareholder of the English championship league side while another Malaysian businessman, Datuk Chan Tien Ghee, is the club's chairman.
Following a testing financial period, Jenkins said they were committed to elevate the standard of the club's football.
After winning the play-off for a promotion into the championship level in 2003, Cardiff City have been chasing for a breakthrough into the top flight Premier League.
And their appearance at the FA Cup final in 2008 was the major highlight for the Bluebirds in recent years.
"It is important that we continue to grow from here. So far, the outcome has been very positive. We are running the club more sensibly. It is our dream to be competing at the same league along with the top English clubs.
"Getting on to the bigger stage will give us the push to increase the club's profile," he added.
Meanwhile, a total of 31 teams are competing in the Under-12 age-group of the 1MCC league hosted over a nine-week period.
Tien Ghee said they were delighted the league has received overwhelming support from football clubs operating privately and academies fielding their respective teams in the league.
"It is wonderful to provide an uplifting experience for the youngsters attempting to fulfil their potential in football. We will be rewarding the outstanding performers from the league with a memorable trip to Cardiff City.
"But, we also emphasise the element of fun and encourage children to foster stronger bonds with their family and friends through football. It will be good to introduce similar initiatives in other states," Tien Ghee added.
Besides the ongoing Under-12 category, the Under-14 league is scheduled from May to July followed by the Under-16 challenge between September and December.
National coach K. Rajagopal, who also turned up to mingle with the participants, said the children's interest in having a kickabout is gaining momentum following the national team's success capturing the Suzuki Cup Asean Football Federation (AFF) Championship at the end of last year.
"We are confident that promising talents will surface in junior tournaments of this nature.
"It is an opportunity for them to shine on the pitch. It is a step forward in restoring our football culture," he added.

Identity theft is not a trivial issue. The costs to our national, state and local economies, businesses and individual consumers are substantial. According to Forbes, the 2009 estimated cost of identity theft was $54 billion. These costs are directly and indirectly passed on in the purchase price of goods and services. But the theft of customer data is not limited to third party hackers breaking into servers. There is another serious source of data theft — employees. The alleged theft of customer data by an employee of a major international financial institution, UBS AG, has brought about important tax changes in this area that may change the face of international banking for private clients forever.

Lockout is back on - for now
Posted by Greg A. Bedard April 29, 2011 07:14 PM
The 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, with one judge dissenting, granted an administrative stay of the ruling to end the lockout.
Basically, the lockout is back on until they can consider the full stay, which would go through the decision on the appeal.
That decision should come sometime early next week.
The two judges who voted for the stay were appointed by President Ronald Reagan. The one dissenter, Judge Kermit Bye, was appointed by President Bill Clinton. He dissented on the grounds that it wasn't an emergency situation.
There was nothing in the ruling that indicates they will rule one way or the other on the stay.

THE GLAMIATOR; Remains of warrior woman prove fairer sex fought as hard as men in Roman times.
THE cheers of the crowd in the amphitheatre turned to gasps when the triumphant gladiator's helmet was removed - to reveal a woman.
Beautiful and athletic, wearing little more than a loin cloth under her armour, the potent sexuality and ferocity of the gladiatrix drove the crowd wild.
As unlikely as it sounds, archaeologists and historians believe female gladiators were a key part of the Roman empire.
Far from being a sexual side-show to titillate the mainly-masculine crowd, these women were fully-trained gladiators with fighting skills that equalled their male counterparts.
And the remains of a 2000-year-old female gladiator, unearthed recently in Southwark, London, provide the most conclusive evidence yet that women as well as men fought to the death before thousands of spectators.
Nick Bateman, of the Museum of London, says there has been much speculation about whether the grave really did belong to a woman.
He says: "Most people have always thought that gladiating was something that big, butch men did in the arena. The idea that it could have been a woman was a complete surprise to many people."
But after studying the bones and artefacts in the burial site, experts have now shattered the existing beliefs about the role of women in Roman Britain.
The accepted academic view that a gladiatrix was a novelty act has been turned upside down as new evidence shows these women had the status and wealth of successful fighting men.
According to broadcaster and Amazon specialist Lyn Webster Wilde, their stunning appearance would be a natural crowd-pleaser.
She describes the female fighters as "incredibly beautiful, with well-developed, erect breasts and wearing something skimpy probably - well armed and well protected".
And she added: "Their character would be a combination of extraordinary ferocity and ruthlessness."
Judging by the extravagant contents of the grave site unearthed in London, that ruthlessness won the gladiatrix respect and a high standing in society.
RICH in expensive ceramics and containing the remnants of a funeral feast, the grave was found with 30 other graves, away from the rich, in an area of exclusion, which included prostitutes, criminals, actors and slaves.
It suggested that the dead person, although honoured, was considered an outsider and someone who would have been banished to the fringes of a Roman cemetery.
Gladiators were also outcasts, but if they had been successful champions of the ring, they could have merited the honour of a privileged funeral.
The grave contained scraps of a funeral feast such as fragments of dates, figs, the bones of four chickens, a dove and pine cones - then an exotic import from the Mediterranean, used to mask the smell of carnage in the amphitheatre.
Three pottery oil lamps depicting the Egyptian God Anubis, associated with the cult of the dead, were also found, along with one showing a fallen gladiator. The remains of a pelvic bone proved without a doubt that the grave belonged to a woman.
The body was burned on a wooden platform with the grave goods heaped around it, then collapsed into a pit - an unusual burial associated with eastern Europe, which also provided many of the gladiators who often fought in travelling troupes.
Bone expert Jackie McKinley says: "It was a woman in her 30s, slight and without evidence of disease, buried with care, ritual and ceremony in a grave laden with an unusual combination of goods which link her to the amphitheatre."
More than 50,000 people from all corners of the Roman empire were living in Londinium in the 1st century AD and the amphitheatre on its outskirts was the home of the gladiators.
They would perform an extreme spectacle to entertain troops far from home and appease the masses.
By the end of the century, audiences - which in London were as many as 6000 people - were looking for new forms of entertainment and wanted the action in the arena to become wilder and ever more extreme.
Wild animals were brought in from Africa and Syria, along with bears, hunting dogs and bulls. Elaborate machinery was built beneath the amphi-theatre as it became a giant spectacle.
It also coincided with a time when fighting woman were at the forefront of the Roman mind after recent events involving British warrior queen Boadicea.
After her daughters were raped by Roman soldiers and she herself was flogged, she led an enormous army of aristocrats and ordinary people on a campaign of vengeance and destruction, leaving several new Roman towns across Britain smoking ruins.
Harvard classical scholar Kathleen Coleman, who advised director Ridley Scott during the filming of Gladiator, says historians know there were female chariot-borne fighters.
But her study of a stone relief from Halicarnasos in Turkey, which depicted two bare-breasted women dressed as gladiators, called Amazon and Achilia, reveals they too were real fighters.
She says: "It shows they were fully trained gladiators, equipped with proper costumes and in the stance of regular combat.
"There is nothing mocking about their attire and nothing wimpish about their stance either."
The graves of gladiators found in Pompeii, the site of the oldest amphitheatre in the world, which contained jewellery, is further evidence that women fought.
As the Roman empire spread across Europe and Africa, the gladiatorial combat which was initially between slaves and criminals evolved into professional matches between trained gladiators. Wherever there was a Roman fort, an amphitheatre was built and gladiators were put to fight in it.
Whether the Britons' own warrior Queen Boadicea or the Amazons - the giant warrior women who fought the ancient Greeks - were the inspiration for female gladiators remains a mystery.
Gladiators had a special place in Roman society. which was about more than just bloodlust.
Initially, games began as a fight to the death at the cremation burials of wealthy individuals and were all about courage in the face of death.
A gladiator who died nobly was judged a suitable spirit to guide the dead aristocrat through the underworld, the entrance of which was the amphitheatre.
But the blood of a gladiator was also believed to have healing or aphrodisiac powers, and the spear with which a gladiator was killed would bring luck and fertility if a man parted his wife's hair with it on the night before marriage.
THE life of a gladiator, which tended to be brutally short, was filled with ritual and, for a woman fighting in the ring, it would have been no different.
A top player might just fight two or three times a year, spending the rest of her time in the ludus, a training school for gladiators where they practised with wooden swords and wicker shields.
In general, gladiators were outcasts who suffered ignominy in death, yet a handful had become the popstars of their day, accruing wealth and a following.
Professor Mike Fulford, an archaeologist at Reading University, says: "Gladiatorial contests didn't necessarily end in death. It depended on the crowd and circumstances and how the gladiators fought and both could have lived to fight another day.
"A successful gladiator would have earned considerable sums and would have retired wealthy. In that respect, he would have earned a place in society.
"Like a retired sportsman today. he would have been a leading person and very famous."
In death, a successful gladiator or gladiatrix would have earned the right to an honoured funeral to mark their bravery in life.
The barbaric gladiatorial contests were outlawed by the Emperor Septimius Severus in 200AD, marking the end of the rare fighting women.
Whether the British gladiatrix was a feminist or an aberration, she would have been an extraordinary sight in the middle of an amphitheatre standing triumphantly over her slain rival.
Eventually, though, even her cold ruthlessness could not prevent her luck in the ring running out.
Gladiator Girl will be shown on Channel 4 on Monday at 9pm.

Raw materials and rough around the edges brings a new excitement for people just getting started or people that have been going to the gym for a while. Claire Rae loves the way this kind of training keeps your body guessing and finds that it adds an element of competition to herself and the people she trains. Instead of sets and reps, training in time intervals makes you do more than you normally would. Push it until you want to throw up is the term around these parts. Although that might not sound appealing to many Claire believes if you want to look hard you have to train hard. [dcs_thinspliter size="small"][dcs_thinspliter size="small"] The great thing about this particular Gym located in her home town of Calgary, Alberta Canada is that most of the equipment you could probably find at an old farm yard. With large tires to flip and ropes it goes to show you can use anything to get in shape. Regular conventional gyms still have their place, but it's great to change it up. Claire believes that keeping workouts fun and interesting is the key to a long successful interest in staying in shape. There are places like this popping up all over the place. But if you don't have one, don't be afraid to try anything new. Your body and your mind will thank you. We at Fitness Gurls think there's nothing sexier than a girl that's not afraid to push the limits and get down and dirty to get a great workout. advertisement[nggallery id=49] Alpha GurlClaire RaeClaire Rae PhotosFitness ModelPhotosSmash ConditioningWBFF Pro Bikini Model Fitness Gurls Staff Fitness Gurls Magazine covers health, fitness, nutrition, exercise routines and showcases some of the most beautiful women in the world of sport, fitness and entertainment.

University of Texas Arlington
Physics professor sheds new lights on prostate cancer treatment
Wednesday, March 31, 2010
Media Contact: Sue Stevens
ARLINGTON - A University of Texas at Arlington physics professor contends that photodynamic therapy, which has been used successfully in treating skin cancers, may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer.
Wei Chen, an assistant physics professor, is researching a new photodynamic therapy system that uses light generated by long-lasting afterglow nanoparticles. The research is funded by a $324,529 grant from the Department of Defense Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs. In 2009, Chen received a $525,718 grant from the same program to do similar research on breast cancer.
"Dr. Chen is at the forefront of developing new targeted therapies to treat cancer," said Ronald Elsenbaumer, UT Arlington's vice president for research and federal relations. "And, it is exciting to see our faculty discover innovative ways to improve lives."
The nanoparticles are joined with photosensitizers that can produce a toxin called singlet oxygen. The combined nanopartical and photosensitizers are coated with targeting molecules which can recognize cancer cells. When the combination is targeted to the tumor cells, the light from the nanoparticles activates the photosensitizers to produce a toxin, which destroys tumor cells.
No external light is required for treatment. That means the therapy can be used to treat deep tumors, such as prostate cancer, because the light source is attached to the photosensitizers and they are delivered together to the tumor cells.
Chen said the first step is to develop optimal control of particle characteristics such as afterglow efficiency and longevity. The nanoparticles will be rigorously characterized and tested for photodynamic activation to include efficacy and toxicity in cultures of cells produced in petri dishes, as well as in live animal studies. The ultimate goal is to make this new technology available to help patients to fight cancers.
The grant is for the work at UT Arlington, but Chen and his research group are collaborating with a number of international scientists. They include Dr. Xiankai Sun, Dr. Timothy Solberg, Dr. Jinming Gao and Dr. Jer-Tsong Hsieh from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, Dr. Petras Juzenas from Norwegian Radium Hospital, Oslo, Norway, and Dr. Syed F. Ali from the Food and Drug Administration's National Center for Toxicological Research and Dr. Alan Joly from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
Chen's research is representative of the biomedical research programs that are propelling UT Arlington on its mission of becoming a nationally recognized research institution.
Chen received his doctorate from Peking University in China in 1992 and joined the faculty at UT Arlington in 2006. He recently edited a three-volume set book on drug delivery through nanomaterials and nanodevices that was published in February by American Scientific Publisher.
The University of Texas at Arlington is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer.

Know Your Audience. That's great advice for any online content and promotion, right? Yet some businesses do this much better than others. Food blogs are a great place to pick up a few pointers. They do a terrific job creating content that is entertaining and informative for their audience. That's probably because the people who create these blogs are foodies themselves and have a somewhat intuitive grasp on writing what they love. However, it does seem like they really consider the perspective of all kinds of people who are interested in everything having to do with cooking and food.
While restaurants and food industry businesses probably can relate much of what these blogs specialize in, any small business can consider the following tips when creating online content about their products and services:
1. Consider Busy Lifestyles
If you have a website or food blog to accompany your brick and mortar business, it's fantastic when people find time to read your content online, provide feedback or mention you on social networks, let alone seek out your products.
However, busy people are doing all of these things, and seeking out new foodie blogs to follow and new recipes to try at the same time. Blogs take this into account with posts featuring ingredients folks already have at home, using a slow-cooker and other time-saving tips, and demonstrate how to prepare a range of meal types, from a weeknight quick meal to several courses for a dinner party.
Take these examples of what popular foodie blogs are doing and see how you might incorporate them into your own website or blog:
This edition of the Kitchn's newsletter links to a featured post "15 Essential Building Blocks for Easy Weeknight Meals." Perhaps you have a few how-to catchy posts you can put together for your own business blog? Maybe even some easy recipes to give away?
Chez Pim's "Dinner at 8" feature gives step-by-step instructions for preparing an awesome three-course dinner. Acting as a resource and an expert on the subject of food and dining is the best way to get customers to trust the dishes you're preparing.
2. Content Should Have a Voice and Personality
The top food blogs have a personal touch that reflects day-to-day life, traditions, and holidays. Whether it's a holiday meal, a summer barbecue or cooking up cozy comfort food on a snowy day, there is something delightful about bloggers sharing their family's traditions or telling a story of experimenting and come up with a new great dish.
Both of these approaches make their seasonal content more personal and relatable, since food is a big part of human shared experience. Especially with blogs, small businesses can step up their descriptions and posts with emotional copywriting that uses a stronger sense of character, shared experiences and telling stories about their products. Also note the phenomenal quality of the food photographs.
Pinch My Salt provided a lot of inspiration for homemade Valentine's goodies. As a restaurant, you might post photos of the treats you've made, perhaps photos of you or the staff making them with some words of wisdom for those coming up with their own treats for certain holidays.
Simply Recipes posts a great hearty recipe for a cold winter day. Even though you're trying to get people to dine with you, the strategy of giving away recipes works great. Once people see how complicated (and possibly expensive) your favorite dish is to make, they're likely to drool over the photo and let you make it for them.
3. Appeal To Our Voyeuristic + Nosy Natures
Any watcher of reality tv can tell you that, as a culture, we love looking in on other people's lives. This includes shows about food and travel, like Anthony Bourdain's adventure eating show "No Reservations" and home network shows, where renovating a kitchen says a lot about someone's home life and cooking habits!
Part of sharing your business' personality with customers is all about letting your blog and online presence allow them to see a bit "behind the scenes" and know what's going on in your shop without being there.
Food blogs do this really well by tailoring some of their content towards showcasing cookbooks, kitchens, tools, pantries and table settings - everything happening around the food in real life.
The Perfect Pantry features user submissions in an excellent regular series called "Other People's Pantries". It's addictive to read about what other people keep on their food shelves and why! You can absolutely facilitate this same type of conversation with your customers on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and even on your blog.
Chocolate and Zucchini shares a great D.I.Y. piece on how make your own napkins. If there's some type of fancy napkin-tying you do at your restaurant, or if you have DIY decor in your business that you want to show off, this is a way you can do the same.
The Kitchn showcases spectacular, enviable kitchens. When you're looking for things to share on Facebook, Twitter and in your blog, perhaps you might show photos of your own kitchen or even the kitchens of other restaurants that you love (outside your competitive distance, of course). Perhaps you have some favorite kitchen tools you want to shout out.
4. Content Should be Accessible and Easily Shareable
Food blogs only succeed if people can access the content they are looking for in a variety of ways, much like products, browsing isn't enough. Shopping, like cooking and sharing recipes are a communal cultural thing, especially online. Check out how the food blogs display categories of information and seem to have active, social-sharing buttons in all the right places:
The Smitten Kitchen has a fantastic recipe index, with several user-friendly classifications and allows quick browsing by season from the sidebar. Since you're a business owner and not a professional blogger, just take this idea into consideration when organizing your own content.
The Perfect Pantry and The Kitchn offer several ways to follow them on social networks, as well as convenient buttons to share recipes instantly. You definitely want to include these links on your own website so customers can subscribe to your on as many channels as possible.
Clearly marked, bright and prominent sharing options and buttons just might help your business pick up more followers, cross-promote sales or special events and provide a multitude of ways for your customers to be giving you valuable feedback and opportunities to interact!

May 14, 2013As broken as it is conceptually, the fundamental tapping game works well enough, throwing in directional inputs and holds as the difficulty ramps up. Unfortunately there's just not enough music to go around.

During the sprint I also come across of a lot of annoying bugs that hits my face and gets me out of focus while trying to achieve something that the world has made sure is impossible.

May 14, 2013Way of the Dogg is a squandered opportunity to fill a genre gap in the Arcade. It's a quick hour's job to mop up 300G, though. So there's always that.
May 10, 2013Way of the Dogg is a laziest branded game of the year. It has some nice ideas, but the execution isn't good at all.
May 30, 2013Apart from its many issues, it fails to entertain, which the worst thing that could happen to any game.
May 13, 2013With a little more love, Way of the Dogg could have be a pretty cool rhythm game. Even if its framework is a silly attempt to pasteurise Snoop's waning branded image and cultural relevance, the basic pitch is still solid and curiously inspired. But in practice, Way of the Dogg's lifeless rhythm styling and maddening technical hiccups join forces to forge something truly ghetto.
May 10, 2013Snoop has been involved in some lame non-musical ventures over the years, but Way of the Dogg may be a new low.

On the eve of today's anniversary, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., had blunt words about the prospect of shipping even more Americans to war, saying, "I don't think there's a great deal of support for sending more troops to Afghanistan, in the country or the Congress."
Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, has also expressed skepticism about sending more combat troops until the U.S. does more to train Afghan security forces.
At a park near ground zero in New York today, volunteers who supported the recovery effort will join family members and rescue workers to read the 2,752 names of victims and mark four moments of silence -- for when the planes struck each tower and for when each tower collapsed.
In New York City, Vice President Joe Biden laid flowers in a reflecting pool at a memorial site near ground zero and spoke to the victims' families gathered in remembrance.
"There's a special fraternity of those of us who've lost spouses and children," said Biden whose daughter and first wife died in a 1972 automobile accident. "But there is also one thing all Americans know to be true and which we remember most when we come to this site: in our jobs and in our sorrows, we know we belong to one another."
Biden, who was joined by his wife Jill, read a quote from the poet Mary Oliver about loss and recovery.
Meanwhile, construction of memorial grounds and the U.S. National September 11 Museum continues at ground zero, which planners say will be open to the public by Sept. 11, 2012. Officials called for public participation Thursday in building the museum's collection by submitting images, video and personal stories to the institution's Web site www.911history.org.
In rural western Pennsylvania, the National Park Service is preparing to break ground on the Flight 93 National Memorial, replacing a temporary memorial at the site where hijacked flight United 93 crashed into a field. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell is expected to speak to family and friends of the 40 victims of United 93 at a ceremony at the crash site today.
This is the first year Sept. 11 has been declared a national day of service, and many Americans across the country have planned community improvement projects and remembrance ceremonies to mark the day.
"We must build a culture of resiliency and guard against complacency, so we are better prepared for terrorist attacks or disasters of any kind," said Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
"By serving our communities and our country today and throughout the year, we commemorate our past while also preparing for our future," she said.

6:45 What's the secret to a long, happy marriage? Is it Housecleaning ?
University of Illinois professor Brian G. Ogolsky, an expert on family studies, says that if couples equally share cleaning duties, their chances at marital satisfaction are excellent. However, once a partner starts to slack off, you can expect trouble.
In studying the various beliefs and behaviors of more than 200 heterosexual married couples, Ogolsky found that women were significantly happier if their husbands shared their attitudes about dividing household chores, although the same wasn't true the other way around.
Just the same, people who are about to enter into matrimony should establish ground rules about household labor before they tie to knot, according to Ogolsky. He says that once bad patterns become cemented within two years of the union, they can eventually lead to frequents conflicts and marital discord.

Am Baile
Muir of Ord is situated three miles north of Beauly and 14 miles northwest of Inverness. The original settlement was known as Tarradale which grew extensively during the 19th century as a consequence of whisky distilling and road and rail transport. A railway station was constructed at Tarradale in 1862, as part of the Inverness and Ross-shire Railway. However, the railway named the station 'Muir of Ord' after the site of cattle markets that took place within a mile of the settlement. Over time, the name Tarradale was faded out and replaced by Muir of Ord.
For several years the village was situated on the A9 route north of Inverness but this changed with the construction of the Kessock Bridge in 1982. Today, despite the village being a quieter place, Muir of Ord's industries still include tourism, distilling and construction - www.ambaile.org.uk

Saint Paul was founded by bar owner Pierre "Pig's Eye" Parrant, a former fur trapper and bootlegger. The village that grew up around Parrant's bar was also known as Pig's Eye until, according to local lore, a Catholic priest named Lucien Galtier "converted" the town and renamed it Saint Paul.
In 1857, the Minnesota Territorial Council passed a bill that would have moved the capital from Saint Paul to Saint Peter. A legislator named Joe Rolette stole the bill's text and went into hiding with it, preventing the move.

From the Publisher
"Refreshingly sensitive to Canadian misperceptions of the United States as well as to the perennial American ignorance of Canada."--New York Times Book Review
"Informative and entertaining . . . Recount[s] with considerable verve the saga of Canadian-American relations over more than two centuries."--Times Literary Supplement
"An important book that promises to become the standard in the field . . . The reader is rewarded with a fair and insightful historical perspective of the complex North American relationship."--Journal of American History
"This timely volume constitutes a major addition to the growing library of scholarly works on Canadian-American relations. Given the growing importance of this multidimensional relationship even for the United States, one wonders why major studies of this unique bond remain relatively rare. . . . In sum, this important and useful volume, enriched by impressive footnoting and an exceptionally thorough bibliographic essay, deserves careful study and wide circulation. It should be on the reading list of all general courses dealing with Canadian-U.S. relations and it should be acquired by every North American high school, college, and university library. Perhaps most important, every Canadian or U.S. policymaker whose responsibilities include some aspect of Canadian-U.S. relations should know its contents well; this work is probably the best single-volume treatment of the subject to date."--Perspectives on Political Science
"A very solid piece of scholarship, written in a graceful, engaging manner that will appeal to a broad audience of readers."--American Review of Canadian Studies
"A book that will, for years, be the benchmark against which future studies of Canadian-American relations will have to be measured."--Contemporary Sociology
"A refreshing analysis of United States-Canada relations. . . . The book is articulate as well as interesting. . . . Thompson and Randall offer a variety of viewpoints about major historical events and show a commitment to accounting for alternative interpretations within their analytical interpretation."--Canadian Journal of Political Science
"A comprehensive, lively, and opinionated history of Canadian-American relations. The skillful weaving of social and cultural issues and concerns into their story, especially in the latter half of the book, and the placement of United States policy towards Canada with the other states in the hemisphere, are valuable contributions to the analysis of the relationship. . . . The book merits a wide readership by students, scholars, and others in both Canada and the United States."--Canadian Historical Review

A former executive with the Nixon Foundation – a man who represented a president who wasn't exactly a media fan – once told me that he feared for the future of Jeffersonian democracy if newspapers continue to decline.
I nodded wisely. Then I looked up Jeffersonian democracy. It's about believing that plain folk have the wisdom to elect their leaders if voters are informed.
The Nixon Foundation executive pointed out that without newspapers, citizens are left relying on advertising and opinion blogs.
Understand, newspaper reporters directly or indirectly are responsible for most of the news we consume. Radio and television have comparatively microscopic staffs and, um, repurpose newspaper stories. The internet is patchy.
The sticking point for newspapers – and most have both paper and digital versions – is that young adults aren't developing reading habits like previous generations.
When I gave a talk last spring at Cal State Fullerton, I asked students where they got their information. The majority admitted they don't read newspapers – not even the Daily Titan. They said they get their news from the Internet.
But when pressed about specific websites, most were as wide-eyed as monkeys in hailstorm.
Still, there are indications Kushner and Spitz – who have digital backgrounds – know something newspaper veterans don't.
• • •
One thing is certain. Kushner and Spitz know how to make an entrance.
In five months, the Register has hired dozens of reporters, editors, visual experts, launched an 8-page Business section, introduced a twice-weekly Varsity section, splashed color through the newspaper (I thought I was nearly alone caring about comics, but many readers tell me they love the color comics.), introduced a daily Focus page, increased coverage in every area, transformed our weekly newspapers into must-reads...
I'll stop. You have the evidence in your hands.
In an interview with National Public Radio, Senior Vice President and Editor Ken Brusic compares Register changes to other newspapers: "They've been offering less and attempting, in some cases, to charge more for it.
"People won't put up for that sort of thing. So we're now offering more."

We are Asheville residents who are very proud of our city and would love to share it with you.
Steve purchased this apartment in 2009
It is wonderful to enjoy the restaurants and night life of downtown Asheville and walk a block or two and be 'home.' We wanted to offer a luxurious and upscale space in the heart of downtown for discriminating travelers who want to experience all Asheville has to offer.
This loft apartment offers upscale urban living in the very heart of downtown Asheville with all amenities you could ask for (down to the cocktail shakers and martini glasses!). Restaurants and nightlife of all types are within steps of your front door and outdoor activities are a short drive away. The apartment is especially set up for the corporate traveler and for Asheville visitors who want the comforts of home with the luxury of upscale accommodations.
The space is accurately represented in the pictures. It does have a significant stairway to climb with luggage. The location is in a busy part of town and is noisy.
This loft condo is outstanding in all respects. We are already planning for a longer stay at these lofts during our next trip to Asheville. This condo was true luxury with great restaurants, entertainment and shops of downtown Asheville only a short walk. Never a hotel again in Asheville.
I took my husband to The Lofts as a surprise for his birthday. He was awed by the unit we rented! It was a perfect setting, roomy, exceptionally comfortable, clean and filled with everything you would need for a luxury vacation. We said if we owned a condo we want it to look like The Lofts. One warning is that the entry steps are long and rather steep and you have to find suitable parking. We just used a convenient pay lot. The condo is on a quiet street and within walking distance of everything. The owner was very helpful and gave us great restaurant suggestions and we would not hesitate to recommend The Lofts to our friends.
The Loft was absolutely spectacular. I'm the Executive Producer for Western North Carolina's premier video production company. We used the space to film a cooking demo for a very large national brand. It was perfect. The kitchen is well appointed and spacious enough to give the simultaneous appearance of luxury while still feeling cozy. The owner is very accommodating. We will definitely return for future filming. Visit us at linkdvideo[dot]com!
We take a family trip every August with our three grown kids, and this will certainly go down as one of the best! We took the 1 bedroom, and the kids shared the 2 bedroom unit. Not only is the unit gorgeous and well appointed, the location is unbelievably perfect. We walked to every meal and music event, and enjoyed passing by the drum circle! It felt like staying in someone's home, someone with excellent taste in decor, linens and the works! We will certainly stay at the Lofts at 16 Church whenever we return to Asheville.
My boyfriend and I were looking for a fun getaway to Asheville and this place was certainly it. Normally we would have stayed in a hotel, but staying at the Loft made our trip even more special. This place was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. The loft itself is beautiful and has a great layout that made for a comfy atmosphere for drinking wine at the seated bar, or watching tv on a big comfy couch. We were also within walking distance of tons of restaurants/bars as well as some shops, including several coffee shops and chocolatiers. We can't wait to visit again!

Should a liberal democratic state permit religious schools? Should it fund them? What principles should govern these decisions in a society marked by religious and cultural pluralism? In Faith in Schools?, Ian MacMullen tackles these important questions through both political and educational theory, and he reaches some surprising and provocative conclusions.
MacMullen argues that parents' desires to educate their children "in the faith" must not be allowed to deny children the opportunity for ongoing rational reflection about their values. Government should safeguard children's interests in developing as autonomous persons as well as society's interest in the education of an emerging generation of citizens. But, he writes, liberal theory does not support a strict separation of church and state in education policy.
MacMullen proposes criteria to distinguish religious schools that satisfy legitimate public interests from those that do not. And he argues forcefully that governments should fund every type of school that they permit, rather than favoring upper-income parents by allowing them to buy their way out of the requirements deemed suitable for children educated at public expense. Drawing on psychological research, he proposes public funding of a broad range of religious primary schools, because they can help lay the foundations for young children's future autonomy. In secondary education, by contrast, even private religious schools ought to be obliged to provide robust exposure to the ideas of other religions, to atheism, and to nonreligious approaches to ethics.

In 2009, the Family and Medical Leave Act ("FMLA" or "Act") was amended to expand military leave entitlements available under the Act. Last week, the Department of Labor ("DOL") issued new regulations implementing and clarifying these amendments. In addition, the regulations increase the scope of qualifying exigency leave to include parental care and extend military caregiver leave to include care for veterans with a serious injury or illness.
From a practical perspective, these regulations do not create any significant changes to the availability or administration of FMLA benefits. However, in conjunction with these new regulations, the DOL has made revisions to its mandatory poster—Employee Rights and Responsibilities under the FMLA. Employers must begin using the updated poster no later than March 8, 2013. The Department of Labor has noted, though, that employers may start using the poster immediately.
All employers covered by the Act—generally public and private employers with 50 or more employees—are required to display the FMLA poster in a conspicuous place accessible to employees and applicants. The poster must be displayed at all worksites, even if there are no FMLA-eligible employees. The updated poster is available for free here.
