Probably somewhere warm and humid, like the beach!
I like my insulated Eco Vessel. It has similar features to those above. Stainless Steel Water Bottles, Kids Bottles, filtered water bottles & Insulated Stainless Steel Bottle with Straw Tops
You all motivated me to bring my spork to work today. So much nicer than the plasticware here!
This also looks useful for emptying your pockets before security. Much safer than using one of the provided bowls. Just fill and hide in a corner of your bag!
Yes, quite nicely. I have an Azalea/clear pen/pencil pouch and have 4 sporks in there right now! It could hold a ton more if I were so inclined.
I use a mini clear/Dyneema OP for my first aid kit. I have a mini Altoid tin held closed by a hair tie full of various pills, a mini sewing kit picked up from a hotel room, a small container of...
Let us know what you decide!
Here are some additional shots of the bags with packing cubes in them:
Here's the link where I got most of the above information.
In the Aeronaut:
Large Packing Cube: Use two (stacked one on top of the other), or one plus two Small Packing Cubes.
Small Packing...
The Aeronaut large compartment can hold 2 large (13.5 x 13.5 x 4.25"), 1 large and 2 small (13.5 x 6.75 x 4.25") or 4 small. Each end compartment is designed to take an End Packing Cube (13.5 x 8 x...
What about a cork case for the 13" MBP?? An Archetype maybe? ;)
Wow, what an adventure! Didn't that make you wish you had a heavy, wheeled bag and another bag to lug around with you? Glad to see you back on the forum!
Thanks, ladies! I'm loving it!
Here's another picture of the goods.
Good reasons!!!
MrMoon has a trip planned in a few weeks, and I'm loading him up with my Aeronaut and as many accessories as I can sneak in his bag! He will convert, I just know it!
Also, as much as I LOVE my Turquoise cafe bag, that Azalea swift is just gorgeous!!
Thanks, ncb4! Darcy, can I recommend that the colors on the Swift be changed to just Turquoise and Azalea, etc? I think it gets the point across and no one would assume that the other side was a...
Let's see if this one works :) So excited!!
They're here!!!!!! Ok, now I have pictures, but I'm way too excited to remember how to upload them - help please!
Ok, but since my LCB is out for delivery TODAY (!!!!) I think I'll wait and get the official picture!
I've finally found an exact match for the Turquoise fabric - the Moleskin Volant notebooks! The darker color (Manganese, I believe) perfectly hides my fabric swatch. BARNES & NOBLE | Moleskine...
Darcy, how'd you get backpack's password??!?
I feel your pain and am in the same boat. I keep picking up my turquoise swatch just to look at it.
Please put a link to all the bags you're selling once you get them listed!
I can't help you out on price, as I recently tried to sell my large cafe bag on Craigslist and ended up giving it away as...

Richard and Gloria have "owned" the Apple Oasis for almost 30 years. Your business is appreciated as they have two kids in college and six grand-kids. Living nearby in Kona Town overlooking the pier and harbor, they stay at the Apple Oasis when it is not rented.
Richard Applebaum purchased this house in 1987
It's like Heaven! The water and wildlife at the home will create a unique vacation that you will never forget.
Beautiful environment on the ocean, spacious and comfortable. The art, decorations and furniture make you feel at home. It is equipped with everything you need to entertain your guests. The house is clean and bug-free. The beds are expensive Ortho high-density foam mattresses guaranteed bed-bug free!
Great location with extensive ocean frontage...not overlooked, plenty of space and comfortable. Close to Kona restaurants and amenities yet you feel you are in your own world.
Very functional, well equipped. The outdoor shower (as mentioned in other reviews), is a big hit. There's plenty of space and we saw other rentals which were more expensive but nowhere near as nice.
Richard & Gloria, Thank you so much for sharing your oasis. We loved staying there--the view is just spectacular, very clean, comfy beds, everything worked! My sister & her husband joined us & there was plenty of room for all to have their own privacy yet be together. Kitchen was so well equipped but would like more light for cooking at night. Saw the turtles right out off the huge lanai. Appreciated the tour when we arrived. Have already booked for next year!
We've been to the Big Island a couple of times now. We've stayed all over the Island and this has been one of my favorite properties. The house was in great condition when we arrived and Richard met us there and showed us around. The property was larger than expected and the access down to the ocean was easy. Smaller children may have some difficulty getting out, but if that's the case the beach is just a short walk away. We enjoyed jumping in at the house and letting the current carry us down to the beach and then simply walking home (or vice versa, depending on the tide). My wife and I stayed there with another couple and there was plenty of room to accommodate dinner gatherings and movie watching, as well as to find our own little nooks for some quite time during the day. I wouldn't have any reservations about staying here again the next time we're in Kona.
My husband and I recently spent 2 weeks at this amazing property. Very impressed, ocean right at your door step, spacious double lot complete with every amenity imaginable. Snorkel gear, beach chairs and umbrellas, and a surf board? Ridiculous! Perfect location near to stores, markets and even an Urgent Care should you need it. We have stayed on the Big Island in this area many many times, but this property far exceeded our expectations. Richard is the perfect host, he will take care of you. Highly recommend this piece of Paradise! The house itself is truly fully stocked, every detail provided. Lull yourself to sleep with the sound of the waves, it just doesn't get any better, Hawaii at its best! Susan and Bill
The house and the location were even more terrific than pictured on the VRBO website and photos. The house is lovely. The location is amazing, quiet, and peaceful but close to anything you want. The kitchen was well equipped and, with a stop at Costco on the way in from the airport, made the week absolutely perfect. Richard is gracious and a terrific host. I can't rave highly enough about the house.
Wonderful location and very comfortable home - we were 2 couples so the house was the perfect size; provided privacy but was not too big. Fantastic views from the lanai - great for whale watching! It was hard to sleep when we got back home because we got so used to the sound of the waves at night! Would definitely stay here again.
When we arrived Richard one of the owners met us and went through the entire property showing us the highlights and how to get the most out of our stay. They had a fully stocked home with a good selection of basic food stuffs and spices. There were also abundant supplies of water and beach equipment as well as coolers and such. Ourselves and adult family fully enjoyed the home and yard which had an amazing ocean view from several rooms, the extensive decks and hammocks. Upon Richard's suggestion we even had a small fire out on the rocks by the beach which was a definite highlight. This property had every thing you could ask for in a vacation rental and I would recommend it to anyone.
Get up before sunrise to swim with the Dolphins in Kealekekua Bay, Go Kayaking, Snorkel at Kahalu'u State Beach - the BEST place to see fish and choral on the Island - walk 5 minutes.

"Don't Give Up Your Day Job." That might be discouraging advice from a parent, but it takes anxiety induction to a whole other level when it's coming from the Australia Council for the Arts. If you are an arts practitioner and don't want to waste your already overstretched and underpaid time ploughing through the grizzly details of this 2003 survey, skip to the dot-pointed highlights.
I'm going to make an assumption that readers will already have some abstract belief that 'making it' in the arts is hard. Real hard. So lets pour some fiscal salt in your financial wounds with some figures. Ten years ago, visual artists could expect a median 'creative income' of $3,100.[1] Ouch. A pretty clear indication that times were getting tougher. And that was pre-GFC…
So I can understand the motivation of the nameless individual who inspired Jodie Whalen's latest performance piece Day Job with the innocuously mundane enquiry into her 'real job' (read: not artist).
Jodie Whalen's practice is the perfect embodiment of the philosophy that when life gives you lemons, make artworks. In her dedicated inquiry into the ritualisation of fat vs. fit polarities, Whalan established herself as an artist who blurs the boundaries of art and life with an unselfconscious honesty and conviction. Day Job extends this integration between art and the everyday.
Performed as part of SafARI 2012, Day Job, like most jobs, involves specifically stated tasks, expectations and rules. When the gallery was empty, Whalen would prepare 'promotional packs' containing a ludicrously inclusive and extended CV, images, and copies of articles reviewing her work in the popular press. When the entrance of a visitor broke this administrative monotony, Whalen would submit them to a deluge of education and conversation about her artist practice, thus transforming them into an unwitting participant in the performance. Not only do we see the familiar contravention of the artist/audience divide, but we also see the more nuanced subversion of the role of the gallery attendant. This transgressive cross between attendant, artist and artwork springs from Whalen's real life role as a gallery attendant.
The audience is left with an uncomfortably ambiguous cocktail of art world roles that is seeded in reality and sometimes ventures into the theatrical. For example, audience participants are presented with Whalen's 'prop' business card stating only her name and occupation: Jodie Whalen, Artist. The absence of web references or contact details renders this networking memento without function. The object only maintains its purpose within the context of the gallery and the duration of the performance.
Whalen's performances are characterised by principles of everyday endurance; they are repetitious activities of banal familiarity taken to obsessive and often disturbing extremes. In Day Job, this consisted of the endless, unaltering drudgery of shameless self-promotion, and like her other performances, was maintained for a predetermined amount of time. Day Job may be over along with the rest of SafARI, but rest assured – Whalen does not give up.

Sandpoint is hands down the best WWAMI experience! You work with Dr. Charlie Crane who embodies the old-school internist of "doing it all." He alternates working a week in the clinic with a week doing a hospitalist gig (and a little clinic thrown also) in addition to doing his own EGDs, colonoscopies, TEEs, intubations and reading his own ECHOs. I had hands on experience doing all the aforementioned procedures and also placed 2 subclavian lines and 2 tunneled lines plus several other procedures including an intubation! It was an amazing learning experience to work in a small town with limited resources and really improved my clinical skills.
Beyond the medicine, the outdoor opportunities here are endless. I skied 5 days (even though I was only there for one week when Schweitzer was still open), mountain biked, hiked and went on trail runs. In the summer, the lake is warm and there are ample watersport activities. The nightlife is also surprisingly busy for such a small town- I went to two different concerts and enjoyed hanging out at some of the local bars.
I cannot recommend this rotation enough! I will definitely be coming back to Sandpoint in the near future.
In the hospital: I spent my first two weeks at ANMC in the ICU and my second two weeks in outpatient specialty medicine. The ICU is a general critical care unit, so you take care of a combination of medical and neuro patients with all sorts of different pathology. This rotation is a great opportunity to do procedures (including subclavian lines); the attendings knew that I wanted to do as many procedures as possible, so even after I had gone over to the outpatient part of my month, the attending would come get me to place non-urgent lines. You see a lot of advanced pathology, and it's a great way to start feeling comfortable with independence in the ICU setting. The outpatient specialty rotation was also tremendous. I rotated cafeteria style with several different specialties over the two weeks, but if you have a particular area of interest in mind, you have the freedom to focus your time. Alaska is tricky for delivery of specialty care, as the population is so spread out and sparse, so patients often fly 700 miles to come to Anchorage to see their specialists. This experience enriched my medical training profoundly, and I hope as many of you as possible choose to take advantage of it.
Outside the hospital: There is a lot to do in and around Anchorage, and I really enjoyed getting out of the hospital and going hiking, halibut fishing, sea kayaking, and getting to know the city. I was there during September of 2013, which is the rainy season in Anchorage. That time of year it was generally overcast/rainy and in the mid-50s, not unlike a slightly warmer version of a Seattle winter. Anchorage is a wild place, and I saw a lot of wildlife. Kinkaid park is a great place to see moose, but I also saw one in my attending's neighbor's yard one night. University Lake right next to the hospital has a nice walking trail around it and is home to a lot of beavers. Potter Marsh on the south edge of town is a must-see, and you can frequently spot swans there. Alyeska ski resort is a short drive south of town if you like beautiful views of glaciers and the off-chance of seeing a bear.
In short: go to Anchorage! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I love talking about all the things I got to do and see in Alaska!]]>
As for the Montana piece, I thought it was awesome. I had every weekend off and got to travel to Missoula, Bozeman, Livingston, Helena, and all the hot springs in between. For someone who had only driven through Montana, it was such a fun way to experience a new scenery and culture. I thought Dillon was a super cute and affordable community. The provided housing was great, the taco bus was delicious, and then there is the Patagonia outlet – which has new things on sale every week… Meghan Johnston can tell you more about because evidently she used to work there.
Anyways, go to Dillon!
I spent that clinic time mostly with Dr. Kelly and McDonald during a year when Dr. Bramante has been living the dream in Italy with his family. The patients were a representative sampling of the town and surrounding region ranging in age and background, but if I had to compare, remind me of the VA population. Living in Alaska takes a sturdiness that sometimes causes people to present late with disease. Young guys came straight from the "slope" oil drill, middle-aged folks boast about living without power in the wilderness, professional fisherman come with stories (and sometimes fish), and I was surprised at the number of zebras that showed up with them. While some are sent to Anchorage or Seattle for further work up, the majority are evaluated by the very capable crew of docs in town. Dr. Kelly reads all of the cardiac echos for the hospital and does a fair share of the colonoscopies and EGDs (I decided they're just like playing video games).
All this I could have taken as a great experience making me more aware of the docs that practice "out there" far from where I might ever find myself. The more surprising and wonderful part was that I would love to go back. The practice in Soldotna is unique in that the docs there have trained and worked in big cities – most with stints at UW and UCSF – and made the thoughtful decision to continue an intellectual and progressive practice in a small town far from home. Whether by instinct related to living in relative isolation or just out of goodness of heart, the community is the most welcoming I've ever experienced. I got to know and spent time with the docs, clinic staff, their kids, friends of the family and even was on a first name basis with one of the grocers. It was hard to leave that kind of connection and even more amazing to think that these folks make it over and over with generations of residents.
Please drop me a line with any thoughts or questions about the rotation. Clearly happy to talk about one of my favorite experiences of residency.]]>
You will also get more time off and have earlier days to enjoy the endless sunshine. Everyone gets a 5 day weekend and that's the one I used to go to Denali where it was in the mid 70s, the mountain was out every day and I saw tons of grizzly bears, moose, and other creatures of the wild. Do the coastal trail, climb flat top, go fishing, get a kayak and bike from one of the hospitalists and cruise around. Let me know if you questions or need advice on what to do.
It should definitely be #1 on your schedule wish list.]]>
It's a very interesting ICU to work in. As always, spectacular nursing staff and respiratory therapists make ICU rotations some of my favorite. They use pressure control instead of AC style ventilation as a default up there, which is a transition that was definitely useful if a bit challenging at first.
There's an incredible variety of patients, ranging from the worst hyponatremia I've ever seen (Na of 98, a combination of beer potomania and schizophrenic polydipsia, wowza), to intense alcohol withdrawal, to the usual mix of sepsis and stroke management.
The opportunity to do procedures varies a bit based on the pathology mix, but even on slow days I would head across the hall to the OR and do scheduled intubations. There was a nice mix of bronchoscopy, intubations, central lines, LP's, and art lines otherwise. Some people had much more procedural months than I did, I only did 3 or 4 of each of our internal medicine procedures.
The attendings come from all over, as they rely on a fair number of locums. Dr. Madhani-Lovely is spectacular, and will force the residents to really justify decision making with an evidence base when she is on service.
The hospital itself is great, and the sheer splendor of alaska is literally breathtaking at times. When I would leave the parking lot near sunset, I'd sometimes find myself waxing poetic and wishing for paints. The logistics of licenses and such can be a bit of a drag, so try to get started on those things way in advance. In general, the people in the hospital are pretty motivated to help you out.]]>
I split my time between the hospitalist rotation and the outpatient clinic. The hospitalist I was paired with was none other than Ted Wright, former UW Boise track graduate. I carried about 7-8 patients and admitted every weekday. The hours were not bad. The case mix was bread and butter medicine (pneumonia, urinary tract infection, chest pain, DKA). One of the more interesting parts was discharge planning as the patients you take care of come from some very remote areas in AK. In fact, they have a hotel in the hospital to stay at while you get outpatient follow up if needed.
The outpatient clinic experience was subspecialty medicine (renal, ID, pulm, rheum). The paired faculty are great and there was a lot of teaching.
All in all, a great month.]]>
Clinical experience:
Livingston Health Center is a small hospital with about 25 medical beds and 4 ICU beds. The physicians and staff are a close knit group who are all extremely friendly and supportive. I worked closely with Dr. Wadle during my 4 weeks and had an amazing experience! UW trained, he is passionate about his work, extremely knowledgeable, and eager to teach. He clearly loves practicing rural medicine and is generous and welcoming.
On an average day, I showed up at the hospital around 7:30 or 8 to round on any patients on the floor or in the ICU. The number of patients varied, but ranged between 2-5 on any given day. The mornings might be filled with procedures like colonoscopies or stress tests. And then, clinic started around 9:30. The clinic is right next door to the hospital and during lunch, we sometimes ran over to check on patients. Most afternoons were filled with clinic, but once a month you accompany Dr. Wadle on nursing home rounds or rehabilitation center rounds. Every Tuesday, Dr. Wadle takes a 2 hour lunch to make time for a 5 mile run through the town to his favorite lunch spots, which I'd recommend definitely joining! Clinic offers ample learning opportunities and procedures (joint injections, biopsies, etc). As a rural medicine physician, Dr. Wadle often fills in where we would typically refer to a specialist.
One of the great things about the Livingston experience is that it is very flexible. Because there are a number of internal medicine doctors working in a group, you are free to do as little or as much inpatient work as you are interested in. I only worked one ER shift (essentially 28 hour call), but I saw everything from COPD exacerbation, symptomatic bradycardia, broken bones, screaming babies, and on and on. Working in the ER is a great experience because it is just you and the ER nurse covering 6 beds. Livingston is well situated in the sense that it is the biggest medical center to the North entrance of Yellowstone, so you end up seeing patients from around the world with a variety of medical issues.
Everyday Life:
They are a husband and wife duo, UW grads from 16 years ago, who have a fantastic tiny practice in a town of 4000. The experience changed my life because it opened my eyes to a completely different model of primary care than I've experienced at the VA (where I have my continuity clinic).
Thanks to Ki's focus on "the big picture", I had a chance to learn about the nitty gritty of how his clinic stays afloat (by looking at his quarterly financial reports, hearing about his business decisions regarding hiring PAs, how he handles billing for patients on medicare, how he designed the floor plan of his clinic to improve communication between staff) as well as some exposure to small town medicine (he does his own treadmill tests and places acupuncture needles in some patients with musckuloskeletal pain).
Ki hand-picked patients on his schedule who I would benefit from seeing. Specifically, he grabbed me for any procedure or interesting rash, and consulted me on the most interesting medical mysteries he faced. I have tremendous respect for the Drs. Shin with regards to fund of knowledge, patient rapport and interest in teaching.
I also had a chance to work for a few days in the local hospital and at another IM clinic in Aberdeen. Both of those experiences served to reinforce that Dr. Shin has set up an amazingly high functioning and rewarding clinic.
Ki and Clara are also remarkably generous. They lent me a car for the month, took me mountain biking and gave me eggs from their chickens.
So how was this life-changing? I'm actually thinking of going into private practice. Think that's crazy? You won't after seeing how rewarding the practice that Ki and Clara have set up for themselves. It's a completely different career than I had been considering previously, and I'm excited to have Ki as a mentor to help guide me through it.
I can't recommend Montesano highly enough for anyone who is into Primary Care.]]>

Clinical decision support must be useful, functional is not enough: a qualitative study of computer-based clinical decision support in primary care

Health information technology, particularly electronic decision support systems, can reduce the existing gap between evidence-based knowledge and health care practice but professionals have to accept and use this information. Evidence is scant on which features influence the use of computer-based clinical decision support (eCDS) in primary care and how different professional groups experience it. Our aim was to describe specific reasons for using or not using eCDS among primary care professionals.
The setting was a Finnish primary health care organization with 48 professionals receiving patient-specific guidance at the point of care. Multiple data (focus groups, questionnaire and spontaneous feedback) were analyzed using deductive content analysis and descriptive statistics.
The content of the guidance is a significant feature of the primary care professional's intention to use eCDS. The decisive reason for using or not using the eCDS is its perceived usefulness. Functional characteristics such as speed and ease of use are important but alone these are not enough. Specific information technology, professional, patient and environment features can help or hinder the use.
Primary care professionals have to perceive eCDS guidance useful for their work before they use it.

Joel T Nowak - Patient/Caregiver Scholarship 2014
I am a super cancer survivor, a survivor of four different primary cancers including metastatic prostate cancer. When I learned I was metastatic I searched the metropolitan New York City area for an education and support program geared specifically for men with advanced prostate cancer. Shockingly, I was unable to find any program specific to men with advanced prostate cancer.
Increasingly I found that I became angry and frustrated. Four cancers and one that was terminal had finally become overwhelming. As I found that I became steeped in my anger I was challenged to stop crying and do something about it. I decided, very consciously that I no longer had any desire to live the rest of my life feeling this way. I decided to take up the challenge and do something about it.
Over the last seven years I have joined with a men's international cancer organization (Malecare http://www.malecare.org) and been developing a program specific to men with advanced prostate cancer. My goals are to enhance men's survival and quality of life through their education about their disease and how best to deal with the myriad of problems they face having this disease. I also have designed successful programs to enhance their psychological wellness.
The development of public policy issues surrounding cancer is also an issue I have tackled. I have had the opportunity to provide testimony to a Congressional Committee, at the FDA in support of drug development and at a CME hearing. I have also been working in my state (New York) in forcing the release for over 2 million dollars earmarked for prostate cancer research that has "fallen between the crack."
Supporting cancer research is another of my goals. I am the co-fonder of the world's first and only crowd sourcing web site to support cancer research (StartACure.com). I have served on a number of Department of Defense Research funding review committees and am now one of four consumers on their Integration Panel.
How do I carry out thee tasks, surprisingly much of my work is online and by the use of social media.
I have written a book "A Guide to Advanced Prostate Cancer" (http://malecare.org/advanced-prostate-cancer-program/) which is available as a free download (today it has been downloaded approximately 45,000 times). I have a series of Teleconferences available online (http://malecare.org/teleconferences/) featuring experts on issues around prostate cancer, I conduct an online support group which has attracted almost 1,000 individuals to participate and I write a blog (www.advancedprostatecancer.net) that both translates advanced prostate cancer research for the individual man and his family as well as dealing with public policy issues (in 2013 it had 6,250,784 hits by 888,885 unique visitors). I also have two twitter feeds, @advancedpca and @prostateca. Both of these feeds have had over 1,050 tweets and they both have over 1,200 followers.
I chose to retire to be able to give my full time attention to my cancer programs. I have a number of innovative program ideas that I will be launching in the next year and one half. However, being retired and solely oriented to my passion (my work) I do not have the extra resources that would allow be to attend this type of meeting. Given the nature of my work and its orientation towards social media, I believe that I am an excellent candidate for the scholarship. I have the underpinnings and following to have a very significant impact on many others. Now I need the education and advise to move to the next level.
Thank you for your consideration.

Part three: Steve Trevor.
My name is Steve Trevor, commander of A.R.G.U.S, and today, I resigned.
The president decided to wage a war on the superheroes to end the villain madness and the damage they do. He asked me to bring in the Justice League with my league of heroes. I refused, he nuked the watchtower… Diana… was there…
I told my league the news, and told them they had two choices:
- the first is to stay here, and help the capture of the villains and the heroes.
They asked what the second choice was.
I told them.
"- you can go, flee as far away from here as possible, and get chased."
None of them spoke for a couple of minutes. The coldest of them all, the Martian, spoke first.
- I will not collaborate with this, I am going.
- I will buy you some time, I answered.
He nodded at me, and phased through the ground.
I turned to the rest of them. They were surprised.
Stargirl then spoke:
- I am going as well, don't you think of holding me here.
- I am not staying either, this is going too far
That was catwoman, it's he first time I hear her that angry, it's probably due to the announcement of the JL's death, Batman…
- You do not answer arrow?
- I am staying.
Everyone looked at him, shocked
- They know all about me, who I care about, what I own… they can hurt these people… and I can't let that happen.
- I am staying too. Said hawkman.
- Anyone else? Simon?
- I am not staying, I am going back to the corps.
After saying this, he took off, blowing the roof off. He probably has faced air fighters and got nuked… I would have told him if he wasn't that fast…
The remaining members who did not chose were vibe and katana:
- I am going, they have no way to catch me, they don't know anything about me.
That was katana, she turned to stargirl and catwoman and asked:
- Can we go now?
- How about vibe?
Everyone turned to him, he fell on the floor, on his knees. He was crying.
- I can't come… they know all about me… they…
He stopped and started to cry even more. Hawkaman then spoke.
- Trevor, I recommend you to go, I can hear footsteps.
- Me too, I turned to the girls, you follow me, I know safe places, even A.R.G.U.S does not know them.
- Let's go then.
I turned to the ones who stayed.
- It's been an honor, Vibe, arrow, Hawkman.
- If I am ordered to take you down, be sure I won't.
- Thank you Katar.
We smiled at each other.
The footsteps were approaching faster. I opened a hidden door, the girls went through, and when the door closed, all I could tell the three men was:
- I am sorry.
The door opened on a dark corridor, Stargirl used her powers to light the way.
We ended up in a room where a jet was parked.
- Even if it's smaller, it's faster than the one you know, I told them.
We boarded, and took off, when looking back, I cold see Amanda Waller and a team of soldiers which just entered the hidden hangar.
I flew fast, but low, to avoid being detected. When we were over Gotham City, we saw Wayne Manor burning. Catwoman took her head in her hands, she probably guessed, although never knowing who he was.
The location we currently are in is secret to everyone, Stargirl, Katana and Catwoman agreed with me that we had to get the remaining heroes, then counter attack.
I will never stop, for the Justice league… for the situation in which Vibe and the others are… for Diana….

New CBA looms over NBA trade discussions
And to top it all off, any team that has exceeded the cap in three of the previous four seasons starting in 2014-15 will be subject to "repeater rates," which increase the penalties even further.
"Any well-managed team is going to think about the future consequences of their roster management," Stern said.
Many already have been, in markets big and small. The Oklahoma City Thunder traded star guard James Harden to Houston rather than make him the third max-money player on the team and the Memphis Grizzlies dumped leading scorer Rudy Gay and valuable reserve Marreese Speights in separate deals earlier this season to start getting their financial house in order.
New Grizzlies owner Robert Pera disputed the notion that sending Gay to Toronto was a salary dump, but also pointed out that teams have to spend their money wisely.
"Whether I'm worth a billion dollars or 10 billion dollars, I don't think throwing money is the way to get a best result," he said. "You look at the Lakers. They threw together all these stars and a huge payroll, and it's not working out so far. You can't be cheap, and I don't think we are cheap."
Before fans in small markets start complaining that the game is still rigged against them, don't forget that Dallas let Tyson Chandler, the lynchpin of their title team from 2010-11, leave to team up with Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire in New York. Chicago did not match Houston's offer for up-and-coming center Omer Asik and the Knicks let Jeremy Lin leave for Houston.
The Associated Press spoke with three team officials and two agents about the effect the new agreement will have on trades this week, and on roster construction going forward. Several said it could be the end of the teams like the current Miami Heat, where three marquee free agents teamed up to chase titles.
Next season, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are scheduled to earn about $62 million, an enormous percentage of a luxury tax level that figures to be in the $72 million range.
"I just don't see how teams are going to be able to afford to do that anymore," one league executive said. "Not only are there financial penalties to think about, but operational penalties as well that will make it very difficult."
Still, some teams might take the tax hit.
Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak has said repeatedly they intend to keep center Dwight Howard, and re-sign him to an extension this summer that will pay him more than $20 million annually. With Kobe Bryant due more than $30 million and Pau Gasol another $19 million-plus next season, that would likely put the Lakers at the luxury tax level with just those three players. And Brooklyn's mega-billionaire owner Mikhail Prokhorov has said repeatedly that money is no object for him in chasing a title.
And if superstars want to continue teaming up in trios to tackle the rest of the league, they may have to take bigger discounts to do it.
"It's not all about money," James, who could be a free agent after next season, said earlier this year. "It's about winning. I know that and I don't mind."

from the erring-on-the-site-of-caution dept
Posting another person's private and confidential information is a violation of the Twitter Rules.
Some examples of private and confidential information include:
- credit card information
- social security or other national identity numbers
- addresses or locations that are considered and treated as private
- non-public, personal phone numbers
- non-public, personal email addresses
- images or videos that are considered and treated as private under applicable laws
- intimate photos or videos that were taken or distributed without the subject's consent
Like any law/policy, there will be exceptions. Twitter's Rules go on to note that takedown requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis, rather than removing Tweets automatically when reported.
Keep in mind that although you may consider certain information to be private, not all postings of such information may be a violation of this policy. We may consider the context and nature of the information posted, local privacy laws, and other case-specific facts when determining if this policy has been violated. For example, if information was previously posted or displayed elsewhere on the Internet prior to being put on Twitter, it may not be a violation of this policy.Kashmir Hill, writing for Fusion, gathered more specifics from a Twitter employee:
I asked Twitter if there was a "Weiner exception." How would this apply to a newsworthy intimate photo, such as the bulge-portrait then-Congressman Anthony Weiner accidentally tweeted of himself which went viral and eventually led to his resignation from office? The Twitter employee said there will be a "newsworthiness exception." So if your bulge or boobs are a front page story in the newspaper, Twitter may not take them down.The policy also requires something that other sites (like Reddit) policing for revenge porn don't: the takedown request must be made by the person whose personal photos/information are being disseminated without authorization. This will hopefully deter some potential abuse.
One catch is that you have to recognize yourself in the photo and report it; Twitter doesn't want "body police" going through tweets and reporting every pornographic image they find. If an offending tweet is removed, all native retweets will disappear too, but you'll have to report all manual RTs and any further postings of the photo or video.Mary Anne Franks, the law prof currently engaged in crafting questionable revenge porn laws, says Twitter isn't doing enough.
Franks, for one, thinks it's problematic that bystanders can't report the posting of explicit images of others. "Every minute private sexual material is available increases the number of people who can view it, download it, and forward it, so even if Twitter responds quickly to complaints, it may be too late to stop the material from going viral," she said by email.What Franks views as problematic is actually a practical safeguard. If you give removal power to everyone, it becomes a plaything for abusers.
Twitter will also try to determine whether the photos/info were actually posted without consent. However, at this point, the determination seems to largely rely on the takedown requester's assertions. The statement won't be legally binding or have any other repercussions other than possible suspension of the bogus requester's account. And there appears to be no process in place for the accused to challenge revenge porn accusations.
On the whole, it's not a terrible way to tackle revenge porn, even if it still leaves a lot to be desired. Certainly Twitter will be accused of censorship more frequently as this policy goes into effect, but as a private company, it can police user-generated content in any manner it sees fit. It's up to those using the service to decide whether they want to coexist with the rule tweaks.
Twitter notes that it's a work in progress. That, unfortunately, means the policy could possibly get much worse as Twitter "iterates" to fix "holes." As much as some people (like Franks above) would prefer Twitter to take a more proactive approach to removing revenge porn, the highly-subjective nature requires a reactive stance. Any policy change will be abused by both sides of this equation, and what's been implemented so far appears to be aimed at reducing collateral damage.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the Homework Improvement Program, a 5-week group-formatted parent training program, in enhancing the homework performance of children experiencing homework difficulties. The study was conducted in an elementary school with a sample consisting of the parents of seven students (N=7) in grades 5 and 6 who were experiencing significant homework difficulties. In accordance with the Conjoint Behavioral Consultation (CBC) model which emphasizes the importance of home-school communication, online Electronic Daily Report Card (EDRC) software was developed as a component of the program through which parents were provided a direct avenue of communication with their child's teacher. The EDRC attempted to address limitations of previously developed home-school communication methods, while maximizing efficiency, and minimizing teacher obligation. It was also designed to be user-friendly for parents. The EDRC informed parents of their child's homework assignments, instructions, and teacher expectations on a daily basis. It also served as a data collection tool through which parents could be provided with regular feedback regarding their child's progress through the program. Results indicated that the intervention was effective in improving homework completion rates for 100% of study participants. A PND analysis revealed the intervention to be Highly Effective in improving rates of homework completion for 57.14% of the participants (4), and Moderately Effective for the remaining 42.86% of participants (3). All students showed improvements in rates of homework completion, with gains maintained at a four-week follow-up. A PAND analysis of homework completion data revealed a large effect size (Phi=.90, 95%CI), with 95.08% of data non-overlapping with baseline rates. Parent ratings of problematic homework behaviors as reported on the Homework Problems Checklist (HPC) reflected a decrease in problematic homework behaviors from baseline to intervention completion, with improvements maintained at follow-up. Responses to treatment satisfaction questionnaires indicated that participants reported a very high level of satisfaction with all aspects of the program. These results suggest that by offering an interactive and collaborative school-based intervention that directly involves parents, positive behavior change can be accomplished that extends into both the home and school settings.

Abstract EXAMINING THE ASSOCIATION OF MEDICATION COMPLEXITY WITH HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE IN OLDER ADULTS RECEIVING COMMUNITY-BASED LONG TERM SERVICES AND SUPPORTS by Claudia A. Beck Adviser: Dr. Kathleen Nokes While the complexity of a medication regimen is a concern for all individuals, it is of significant concern for community-dwelling older adults who often require multiple medications to treat chronic health problems. Health related quality of life (HRQoL) has been identified as a key quality outcome measure when assessing care of older adults, particularly those with long-term care needs. Although the use of multiple medications has been widely explored in the literature, there is a paucity of data regarding the combination of several medication-related factors (number of active medications, therapeutic drug class, and medication regimen complexity) and HRQoL in older adults. Wilson and Cleary's health-related quality of life conceptual model was the theoretical framework used to guide this study. This secondary analysis examined the relationship among the number of active medications, the number of therapeutic drug classes, and medication regimen complexity and HRQoL in community-dwelling older adults (68% Hispanic, 75% female) who were recent recipients of home and community-based services (H&CBS). The subjects in this study (N =123) were enrolled in a large, multi-site study (N=470) (R01-AG025524, PI, M. Naylor). Medication-related data were obtained from medical charts, counted to include the active number of medications as all prescription and over the counter drugs (mean =9.3), and a therapeutic drug class tool (mean =4.9) measured the number of distinct therapeutic drug classes included in a medication regimen. Medication regimen complexity (mean = 20.6) was measured using the Medication Regimen Complexity Index (MRCI). The Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (MOS SF-12 v2) physical (PCS) and mental component scores (MCS) measured HRQoL. After controlling for age, gender, education, race, ethnicity, marital status and cognitive status, it was determined that the number of active medications (beta coefficient -.497, p=.012) was a key predictor of physical health-related quality of life, while therapeutic drug class and medication regimen complexity were not associated with either physical or mental health-related quality of life. The number of medications impacts on physical health-related quality of life but the directionality of that relationship is not clear; there were no significant effects on mental health-related-related quality of life and medication-related variables. Keywords: Older adults, active medications, therapeutic drug class, medication regimen complexity, community-based long term services and supports.
This dissertation is a study of the political behavior, demographics, and attitudes of Americans who have been inconsistent in party choice, turnout, or both in presidential elections from 1948 to 2004. Most prior scholarship has indicated that these individuals, who play a pivotal role in electoral outcomes, have comprised a minority of the American electorate. The analyses presented here, however, reveal that these "volatile" voters have, from 1948 to 2004, comprised between 50.5 and 60.7 percent of the voting public. Volatile voters are, overall, less likely to be politically sophisticated than party-loyal voters. But the aggregation of all volatile voters into one group when assessing their levels of political aptitude and engagement obscures the fact that volatile sophisticates are plentiful in the United States, and have comprised between 18.1 and 27.0 percent of the electorate since the 1948 - a segment that is decisively large. The large distribution of volatile sophisticates, and volatile voters overall, provides support for the notion that voter engagement with political issues regularly overcomes the habitual party affinities of a substantial fraction of the American public, and that issues indeed matter to voters, most of whom engage them and act upon them in a reasoning manner. I additionally provide evidence, contrary to the findings in much voting and elections literature, that volatile voters can be reliably identified and quantified using sociological measures.
Abstract CYCLIC PITCH ORGANIZATION IN THE TWELVE-TONE WORKS OF AARON COPLAND by Lisa S. Behrens Advisor: Joseph Straus Late in his career, Aaron Copland composed four twelve-tone works; the Quartet for Piano and Strings (1950), the Piano Fantasy (1957), ConnotationsInscape (1967). Rather than constituting a sudden conversion to serial composition, Copland's mature twelve-tone works constitute a revival of serial procedures that antedates and pervades his American works of the 1930s and 40s. Consequently, in this dissertation I will assert a stylistic continuity that informs the mature twelve-tone works, which also distinguishes Copland's tonal idiom. This continuity contradicts the distinction between Copland's "severe" and "simple," or "highbrow" and "lowbrow" styles, which has been previously promoted in the literature. Accordingly, I will show that Copland adapted twelve-tone principles to his already well-established idiom, transferring salient features of the harmonic language in his American works to a serial platform. As a result, all of the mature twelve-tone works employ cyclic row classes that are based on whole-tone relationships. The cyclic properties of those row classes generate a plethora of symmetrical constructs that recreate the distinctive fourth-and-fifth-harmonies that are typical of Copland's tonal harmonic language. There are four additional compositional principles that determine the organization of pitch: segmental invariance, whole-tone complementation, cyclic formal articulation, and a generalized collectional interaction between pentatonic, octatonic, and hexatonic sets.
Dirofilaria immitis, canine heartworm, is a filarial nematode that may have genetic features that favor the development of drug resistance, including rapid rates of mutation, large population sizes, and high levels of gene flow. This parasite is currently treated with macrocyclic lactone anthelminthics, and while it has not yet shown evidence for evolving resistance to these chemotherapeutic compounds, resistance has evolved in related filarial nematodes infecting ruminants and humans. Heartworm samples from domestic dogs and coyotes were obtained via donations from veterinarians and researchers across the United States. I isolated and characterized 11 microsatellite loci for canine heartworm. Using the observed distribution of alleles, I determined the amount of genetic variability and quantified the partitioning of genetic variance. In conjunction with microsatellite data, specific mitochondrial (cox1) and Wolbachia (wsp and ftsZ) loci were used to genotype a subset of host taxa. Results indicate a lack of mitochondrial diversity and maximum likelihood trees show no discernable geographic patterning on a continental scale. This is not unexpected in a Wolbachia-infected organism like D. immitis as this bacterium has been shown to purge mitochondrial diversity in numerous model systems. After establishing baseline genetic parameters, a model of population dynamics was created to answer questions about the potential spread of drug resistance alleles. In the absence of selection, gene flow between subpopulations drives the dispersal of drug resistance alleles. Fixation time is directly proportional to selection pressure. When resistance alleles arise in a source population they spread more rapidly than if they arise in a sequestered population.
This dissertation explores the fluid relationship of photography to time. Many theorists have noted that photography has a distinctive manner of representing temporality. Roland Barthes, for example, wrote that the photograph has a peculiar capacity to represent the past in the present, and thus to imply the passing of time in general. As a consequence, Barthes argued, all photographs speak of the inevitability of our own death in the future. Moreover, he linked photography's peculiar temporality to its capacity for a certain kind of realism: "false on the level of perception, true on the level of time." Barthes's analysis poses a challenge to all commentators on photography - what exactly is photography's relationship to time, and by extension, to reality? This dissertation addresses that two-part question by analyzing in detail a sample of understudied vernacular photographic practices. Rather than provide a comprehensive, and necessarily incomplete, study of every possible way in which photography can relate to time, this study instead focuses on a number of in-depth analyses of specific photographic practices. These practices represent time in at least three distinct ways: as narrative time, device-altered time, and composite time. My study examines the motivations for photography's insistent struggle to reorganize time's passage, to freeze or slow it for a moment, or to give form to time's fluctuating conditions. I suggest that this struggle is both symptomatic of modernity as a general phenomenon and a manifestation of the photographic medium's conditional relationship to reality, a relationship which arguably has been complicated by the use of digital technology. This dissertation examines photography's unique capacity to represent the passage of time with a degree of elasticity, simultaneity, and abstraction. The medium's ability to represent many levels of temporal experience and indexical slippage, I argue, illustrates photography's potential to relate to and reflect the complexities of modern consciousness. This dissertation also exemplifies the need for a new kind of history - one that addresses the multiple identities of "the photographic" rather than simply "the photograph." This work is a contribution to that project.
Abstract FOSTERING ADOLESCENTS: A FOSTER PARENT PERSPECTIVE ON RAISING ADOLESCENTS IN FOSTER CARE by William Caine Bell Adviser: Professor Harriet Goodman The U.S. Adoptions and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System indicates adolescents comprise more than 45% of the total foster care population. They are approximately 40% of new placements into foster care but represent less than 20% of children adopted from foster care each year. This exploratory study sought to illuminate the voices of foster parents raising adolescents in their homes. The study identified foster parents' perspectives on (a) policy improvement needs from the State child welfare system, (b) assistance required from the State to improve adult outcomes for adolescents in their care, and (c) training parents needed to be successful in fostering adolescents. Utilizing semistructured interviews, this qualitative study examined the experiences of 17 foster families raising teenagers in family foster care settings. The sample was primarily White and middle class; all informants were King County, Washington, residents. Study participants had an average of 17 years as foster parents and had collectively fostered more than 3,000 youth. Key findings suggest that knowledge of the motivations of foster parents provides useful information to improve recruitment, training, and support strategies for child welfare systems. Foster parents who were successful with adolescents expanded their role beyond the basic requirements of the State system. Consistent, easily accessible respite services were critical to maintaining successful foster parenting for adolescents. Results suggest a need for future research to examine perspectives of other stakeholders to improve adult outcomes for adolescents emancipating from foster care. These include social workers, adolescents in foster care, systems administrators, and birth parents. Additional inquiry should explore the relationships between foster parents and young adults formerly in their care and how these interactions affect their life outcomes. Finally, more exploration would illuminate the potential for child welfare systems and other community institutions to promote resiliency in youth in foster care. This study describes two midlevel theories emerging from the voices of study participants: (a) features of foster parents and child welfare institutions that promote risk or resilience for adolescents aging out of foster care and (b) fostering the future for adolescents in foster care: a path toward hope and improved outcomes.
Cocaine addiction is a significant public health issue with an outsized effect on the individual and society at large. A principal reason for the immense social and personal costs associated with cocaine addiction is the difficulty in remaining abstinent. Utilizing diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), current cocaine dependence has been associated with deficits in white matter integrity and atypical neural activation in multiple cognitive control regions. However, while the neurobiological and behavioral deficits associated with current cocaine dependence have been well-characterized, it is relatively unknown if these deficits persist after the cessation of cocaine use. To elucidate neurobiological functioning during cocaine abstinence, we conducted three experiments utilizing either DTI or fMRI methodology in cocaine dependent (CD) individuals at varying periods of abstinence. The results of these investigations show that as a group, abstinent CD individuals do not display the same neurobiological deficits as current users. We speculate that the absence of these deficits may be partly due to the intensive drug-treatment programs the participants were enrolled in. However, when we conducted subject-level examinations, we found that abstinent CD individuals displayed neurobiological functioning related to the duration of abstinence. We postulate then that continued abstinence may be responsible for an amelioration of neurobiological deficits or reflect preexisting differences that allow for extended abstinence. Additionally, we observed participant-level differences that were not a function of duration of abstinence leading us to speculate that recovery occurs at temporally different rates in some individuals. Overall, it appears that while a majority of recovering individuals do not display the neurobiological deficits associated with current cocaine users, there exists a subset of individuals that continue to display these deficits. We hypothesize that those individuals who continue to display neurobiological deficits will have the greatest risk of cocaine relapse.
This project reported in this dissertation analyzes phonetic details of the speech patterns in one of New York's bilingual communities, asking whether a bilingual speaker can attain native-like proficiency in both languages and the extent to which authenticity — maintenance of language-specific settings — is sustainable. Researchers have established that Italian and English differ strikingly in their characteristic time settings for vowel durations: durations are greater for vowels preceding voiced consonants, e.g., cab, rather than voiceless, e.g., cap. This duration difference, termed the consonantal voicing effect (CVE), is notably greater for English than for Italian. The greater magnitude of the CVE found with English is considered to be a phonological enhancement of a basic phonetic process. Utilizing a speech production task, the study reported compares the performance of Italian-born bilinguals for whom English was acquired in adulthood, as a second language, with that of U.S.-born speakers who experienced simultaneous acquisition of their languages (albeit in an English-dominant setting). In separate sessions for each language, speakers produced utterances in which the target word, situated inside a carrier phrase, contrasted in [voice] value for the post-vocalic consonant, e.g., Say the word « ___ » to me. Stimuli were familiar words selected to sample the vowel inventories for each language and for which the voicing contrast was realized through the inventory of stops common to both languages. Analyses revealed no evidence of influence of the second language on the CVE for the first language for either group, despite an extended immersion period in an English-language environment for the foreign-born speakers and simultaneous exposure to both languages from birth for the U.S.-born speakers. But crucially, there was evidence of an influence of the first language in the timing settings found for the CVE in the second language, for both speaker groups: the foreign-born speakers managed to increase the magnitude of the CVE-English but failed to fully implement the phonological mechanism consistent with larger CVE values for that language; and the U.S.-born speakers managed to reduce the magnitude of the CVE-Italian but failed to fully suppress that same mechanism. Results are discussed in relation to language-specific timing patterns and the extent to which a dominant language may influence production in the non-dominant language.

Church of St. Alphonsus Liguori, Rome
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2015)
|Church of St. Alphonsus Liguori
Chiesa di Sant'Alfonso di Liguori all'Esquilino (Italian)
S. Alfonsi in Exquiliis (Latin)
The Church of Saint Alphonsus
|Basic information
|Rome, Italy
|Roman Catholic Church
|Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer
|Architectural description
|George Wigley
|Architectural style
|Gothic Revival
The Church of St. Alphonsus Liguori (Chiesa di Sant'Alfonso di Liguori all'Esquilino in Italian) is a church located on the Via Merulana on the Esquiline Hill of Rome, Italy. It is dedicated to St. Alphonsus Liguori, the founder of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, who built and staff the church.[1]
The church is one of the rare examples of neo-Gothic architecture in Rome. It is one of the last papal churches of Rome, although the Redemptorists have possession of the church and its related complex.
It was built between 1855 and 1859, designed by the Scottish architect George Wigley. The facade is of brick and travertine and features three doors. In the central tympanum of the door there is a polychrome mosaic depicting Our Lady of Perpetual Help. The facade is further embellished by a rose window.
The interior decorations, rich with marble, date from the end of the nineteenth century, and are by the Bavarian painter and Redemptorist Max Schmalzl (1850-1930). The apse is crowned by a mosaic, put in place in 1964, depicting the Redeemer enthroned between the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph. Below the mosaic hangs the original icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, which was produced in Crete in the 14th century and given to the Redemptorists by Pope Pius IX in 1866.
Cardinal Protectors[edit]
Saint John XXIII named St. Alphonsus a Cardinal Titular Church on 30 December 1960 as SS. Redentore e S. Alfonso in Via Merulana (Most Holy Redeemer and St. Alphonsus on Via Merulana).[2] The following cardinals have served as Cardinal Protectors:
- Joseph Elmer Ritter, (1961-1967)
- José Clemente Maurer, C.Ss.R. (1967-1990)
- Anthony Joseph Bevilacqua, (1991-2012)
- Vincent Nichols, 2014-present

Monday was a beast of a morning. I hit snooze at least three times before I got up.
While getting dressed I saw a stain on my pant leg, and it didn't take long to realize the jacket I pulled from the back of the closet was about a size too small.
I already didn't feel great, and all the clothing chaos gave me a headache and made me later than I wanted to be for work.
Climb aboard 'industrial bandwagon'
To the editor:
I am ecstatic to see that Harley-Davidson is looking into moving its current York, Pa., facility to our great state.
Hopefully, our current county and city leaders will not be content with just "grabbing our share" of the move if it happens.
Why not do whatever it takes to grab the whole pie?
Medical expertise important for coroner
I was pleased to read in The Anderson News that Dr. Mark Tussey has announced his candidacy for Anderson County coroner.
Coroner is a very important official of any community. It is the duty of the coroner to declare the cause of any death that is questionable occurring within the county. A scientific understanding of human anatomy and the numerous and varied complex causes of death are vital to fulfilling the function and responsibility of his office.
Anderson County High School has made plenty of history and has a lot about which to brag.
From academics to sports, the high school is great.
This year we'll add another to that list, and this time it's the marching band making history.
Our band made school history by placing eighth in the state semifinals in its class, its highest finish ever. It jumped eight spots from last year, which is a huge improvement.
Bangs curled under and teased, wire-rimmed glasses, braces with colorful rubber bands — that was me in middle school.
For whatever reason, I've been reminiscing about those years, 1997 and 1998 to be exact, a lot lately.
Last Wednesday, I had the pleasure of speaking to Mrs. Lisa Winfrey's classes at Anderson County Middle School. This is the fourth or fifth time I've talked to her students and it's always a wonderful experience.
Opportunity is likely to knock fairly soon on Anderson County's door. It will be interesting to see if we, as a community, are willing to let it in.
By now most of you know that Harley-Davidson is considering moving its manufacturing operations from York, Pa., to Shelbyville. That move would create a reported 2,000 jobs there and give Shelbyville one heck of a shot in the arm.
By all rights, Hilltop Plaza should be nothing more than a pile of charred remains.
The fire that tragically ruined two businesses and killed dozens of animals could have, heck should have, been much worse.
When our reporter arrived minutes after the fire was called out, smoke was already billowing from the building's rafters. Given that strip malls are rivaled in short burning time only by trailers, it appeared to be a goner.
But thanks for city and county firefighters, that isn't the case.
Ground was broken Monday night, and not just for a new skateboard park.
Those who achieved what appeared for years to be an impossible dream did more than turn over a ceremonial shovel of dirt. They also provided a blueprint for those who carp and whine incessantly about things they want but have no motivation to get.
Nary a day goes by that someone or some group doesn't complain about the lack of amenities in Anderson County, most notably a swimming facility.

Themis family
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (October 2013)
The Themis or Themistian asteroid family is a Hirayama family (having similar orbital elements) of asteroids found in the outer portion of the asteroid belt, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. At a mean distance of 3.13 AU from the Sun, it is one of the more populous asteroid families. It consists of a well-defined core of larger asteroids and a surrounding region of smaller ones. This core group includes (and is named after) the asteroid 24 Themis, discovered on April 5, 1853 by Italian astronomer Annibale de Gasparis.
Asteroids in the Themis family share the following orbital elements:
- semimajor axes between 3.08 AU and 3.24 AU
- orbital eccentricities between 0.09 and 0.22
- orbital inclinations of less than 3°
The Themis family is one of the largest and longest-recognized dynamical families of asteroids, and is made up of C-type asteroids with a composition believed to be similar to that of carbonaceous chondrites.[1] To date, the Themis family comprises approximately 535 known asteroids. The major ones include:
