FORT WALTON BEACH— The closure of Brooks Bridge after Wednesday's barge accident did more than just shut down a stretch U.S. Highway 98 for hours. It cut off Okaloosa Island's water source, left restaurants empty and blocked boat travel in Santa Rosa Sound and Choctawhatchee Bay.
"Every reservation except one was canceled because everyone was stuck on the island," said Tom Rice, owner of the Magnolia Grill in downtown Fort Walton Beach. "This certainly was a wake-up call."

Jessica Braswell left her job in Destin at 5 p.m. to go home to Mary Esther. Most days, the drive takes her about 25 minutes. On Wednesday, she arrived home just before 7 p.m.
"It definitely makes you think," Braswell said. "It was like a flashback to Hurricane Ivan when it would take hours to get home."
While commuters' woes were eased Thursday morning when officials reopened all lanes on the bridge, residents and business owners on Okaloosa Island continued to be under a boil water notice.
"My opinion, I'm pretty sure the bridge needs to be repaired or replaced," said Chris Sehman, owner of Helen Back Café. "We're long overdue to have an alternative added. Hopefully, this will open the eyes of our political leaders that we need to address this now before something disastrous happens."
Okaloosa County Administrator Jim Curry said the issues highlighted in the aftermath of the accident have long been a concern for officials.
"It certainly points out how vulnerable we are," Curry said. "The biggest concern is more serious structural damage.
"If it had potentially been out for who knows how long, it could have been catastrophic."
Randy McDaniel, the county's emergency management director, said a committee is being formed to come up with a plan in case a similar incident shuts down the bridge again.
There is a plan in place for a hurricane but none for an incident like Wednesday's accident, McDaniel said.
"This certainly had an affect on how we'll deal with the bridge on a smaller scale," he said. "That's a critical area, especially during certain times of the year like in the summertime. We're going to sit down and get everybody's opinion, from emergency officials to people involved in the tourism industry and members of the chamber of commerce."

Joyce's labyrinthine crusade for love takes her through a surreal world of kidnapping, manacled Mormons, risqué photography, magic underwear, and celestial sexuntil her dream is finally realized in a cloning laboratory in Seoul, South Korea. A vivid portrayal of a phenomenally driven woman whose romantic obsessions and delusions catapult her over the edge into scandal sheet notoriety and an unimaginable life.

C. Rollins Hanlon, M.D., a pioneering cardiovascular surgeon who led the department of surgery from 1950 to 1969, died Tuesday, May 3, after a long battle with lymphoma. He was 96.
|C. Rollins Hanlon, M.D.
"Dr. Hanlon was truly a medical giant who put the surgery department and medical school on the map in many ways," said Robert Johnson, M.D., chair of the department of surgery and holder of the C. Rollins Hanlon Endowed Chair.
"One of the things that attracted me to Saint Louis University was the opportunity to come to a place where Dr. Hanlon had been and to hold his chair."
Attracted to Saint Louis University in 1950 from Johns Hopkins by University President Paul Reinert, S.J., and School of Medicine Dean Melvin Casberg, M.D., Hanlon was SLU's first chair of the department of surgery.
Innovator in cardiac surgery
A cardiac surgery pioneer, Hanlon invented a procedure to treat a congenital heart problem and was one of the early people to figure out how to perform coronary bypass grafts. He brought open-heart surgery to the area and established the surgery department as a regional research and clinical center for the study and treatment of cardiac conditions.
He also recruited Eugene Lewis, M.D., to join him at Saint Louis University in 1950, and help build the pediatric surgery program.
Lewis, who was SLU's first chair of pediatrics and watched the construction of Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center, remembered those early days when he and Hanlon were the surgery department.
"Saint Louis University rose from a practically unknown surgical center to become a fine center, no question about it. Dr. Hanlon was the leader and director and did a tremendous job," Lewis said.
"He was a bright man, highly organized, a very good cardiac surgeon, a highly articulate man who was very well respected and a great teacher."
Mentor to many
Hanlon will long be remembered for his deep commitment to his Catholic faith, stately, elegant demeanor, ever present silk pocket square, wry sense of humor and eagerness to pass along his knowledge to others. His protégé, Vallee Willman, M.D., succeeded him as chair of surgery at SLU.
His resonate baritone voice and incredible vocabulary contributed to make him an extraordinary lecturer, Johnson said.
"Dr. Hanlon could give a speech that would leave an audience spellbound," Johnson said. "Afterwards everyone would have to grab a dictionary to figure out what he said."
While at Saint Louis University, Hanlon led a 12-person team in performing the first open-heart surgery in the lower Midwest region. He was a founding member of the American Board of Thoracic Surgery, president of the Society of University Surgeons in 1958 and chairman of the American Board of Surgery from 1966 to 67.
Along the way, he mentored medical school students and residents, instilling in them a strong sense of professionalism.
"Dr. Hanlon always referred to the medical students as 'Mister' or 'Miss,'' John D. Moroney, M.D., said in a 2009 Grand Rounds article that profiled Hanlon.
"Shortly after graduation in 1956, I had to return to Desloge Hospital to pick up something I had forgotten and ran into Dr. Hanlon coming out the back door. He looked up and said, 'Good morning, Doctor.' He was the first person outside of family to call me doctor, and I can tell you it was the biggest thrill of my life up to that time."
Hanlon left Saint Louis University in 1969, to become director of the American College of Surgeons, where he served until he retired in 1986 to assume new responsibilities as the organization's executive consultant. His 1972 research led to the area's first human heart transplant.
Personification of medical professional
Keith Naunheim, M.D., director of cardiothoracic surgery, was a junior faculty member when he met Hanlon who would return to SLU occasionally as a visiting faculty member.
"He was the personification of the medical professional. His technical skills were matched only by his interpersonal ones. He was one of the most well spoken, civil, thoughtful gentlemen I've ever known," Naunheim said.
"You would never walk away from C. Rollins Hanlon without sighing and saying, 'I wish I were that professional, that smooth, that articulate.' He was a remarkable guy."
Hanlon received his medical education and surgical training primarily at Johns Hopkins University. He also was a resident in surgery at Cincinnati General Hospital and an exchange fellow in surgery at the University of California in San Francisco.
He served in the U.S. Navy during and immediately after World War II, serving in the China-Burma-India Theater and on the hospital ship, Repose.
Hanlon is survived by his wife Margaret Hanlon, M.D.; children, Philip Hanlon, Paul Hanlon, Richard Hanlon, Thomas Hanlon, Christine Hanlon, Mary Welch, Martha Hanlon, and Sarah Cigliano; eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
Visitation will be from 3 to 6 p.m. Sunday, May 8 at Donnellan Family Funeral Home in Skokie, Ill. His funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Monday at SS. Faith, Hope & Charity Church in Winnetka, Ill.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Aid for Woman, the American College of Surgeons Foundation or NorthShore University HealthSystem Foundation Hospice Program.

Cyprus's Big Bluff
The Cyprus banking crisis presents, in microcosm, everything that is perverse about the European leaders' response to the continuing financial collapse. And bravo to the Cypriot Parliament for rejecting the EU's insane demand to condition a bank bailout on a large tax on small depositors.
If this crisis threatens to spread to other nations, it's a good object lesson. Here is the punch line of this column: It's time for Europe's small nations, who are getting slammed into permanent depression by the arrogance of Berlin and Brussels, to think about abandoning the euro. At least the threat would strengthen their bargaining position, and if they actually quit the euro, the result could hardly be worse than their permanent sentence to debtors' prison. More on that in a moment.
The back story: Cyprus, with just over a million people, is not a poor country. Its per capita GDP is actually above the European Union average. Cyprus has only used the euro since 2008.
Once Cyprus was in the Eurozone, like the banks of Ireland and Iceland before them, the two main Cypriot banks got cute. They offered above-market interest rates to suck in lots of deposits, mainly, as it turned out, from Russians. Then, to pay the high interest, they made speculative investments. You can guess the rest.
When the Cyprus government turned to the EU and the European Central Bank for a bailout, the idiots in charge came up with a scheme requiring ordinary depositors to pay for the sins of the bankers. (Imagine if the Fed had done that when it bailed out Wall Street.)
Though the details are much more complex in the austerity schemes imposed on Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland, the basic story is the same. The big guys get greedy and the little guys pay the price. This time, the double standard was even more naked than usual.
The Cyprus government went along, but after massive protests by ordinary citizens, the Parliament failed to approve the tax. So, what now?
The Cypriots tried to do a deal with the Russians, offering to sell them rights of offshore natural gas deposits, in exchange for a bailout by Moscow. But that doesn't seem to be going forward. So now, the Cypriots, inadvertently, have the power of the weak. If they refuse to cave, their European masters may soften the terms.
Or not. The German government, in particular, is dug in. Fiscal sinners must pay dearly. For now, there's a bank holiday, withdrawals are strictly limited, and the economy is grinding to a halt.
Interestingly, however, the ECB has not suspended advances to Cypriot banks, which would cause a total collapse with wider repercussions. So what's really occurring is a high-stakes game of chicken.
Enough is enough, I'd say. These policies of no-mercy have pushed all of Europe into prolonged depression. Unemployment rates in Greece and Spain are upwards of 25 percent. Among the young, they approach 50 percent.
Britain, which doesn't use the Euro, volunteered for austerity. The more they cut spending and raise taxes, the more the economy shrinks and the worse the ratio of debt to GDP gets—because GDP keeps shrinking as a consequence of the austerity.
This is not rocket science, folks—austerity doesn't work.
But, austerity elsewhere is good for Germany, because it pulls in capital and leaves Germany with the Continent's lowest interest rates, and because the euro is an undervalued currency where Germany is concerned, which is good for German exports.
It's time for the peripheral European countries—Greece, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, and now Cyprus—to push back. Only a unified threat to quit the euro might get the attention of Brussels and Berlin.
What would happen if one or more countries actually reverted to their own currencies? Financial elites around the world say that would be catastrophic, but for Europe's small nations, the catastrophe is now.
If Cyprus or Greece or Spain or Portugal (or better yet, all of them en bloc) decided to quit the euro and revert to drachmas and pesetas, they would need to block bank accounts, impose currency and capital controls, and default on some of all of their foreign debts, which would be re-denominated in the new local currency. There would be lawsuits up the gazork, but the IMF and ECB would have to step in to limit the broader damage even if they disapproved.
It would not be pretty, but it has been done before. In fact, in the past century, some 69 countries have abandoned currencies. It happened after the break-up of the Soviet Union. It happened after World War II. In fact, withdrawal of the Hitler-era Reichsmark in favor of the post 1948 Deutschmark was accompanied by massive debt relief for Germany. (How about that, Ms. Merkel?)
After a relative brief period of worse economic pain, these small nations would emerge with far greater freedom of action over their own economic destiny. They would have currencies that were a lot cheaper internationally, which would be good for exports and for tourism. In the short run, they would have to finance most of their capital needs internally, but foreign capital would soon return. It always does—especially once economies start growing again. And freed from artificial austerity burdens, these nations could resume growth.
The Germans, of course, would have fits. Because Germany enjoys the greatest advantage from the mismanaged euro and would suffer a relative loss if the Eurozone shrank and some debts to German banks were written off. But what are the Germans going to do—invade? Happily, the allies after World War II insisted on a very small German army.
Even if these nations did not end up actually quitting the euro, a credible threat might get the elite in charge to soften the terms of austerity.
In his poem, "I Sing of Olaf Glad and Big," an ode to an abused conscientious objector who refused to be cowed by psychological torture and beatings, E.E. Cummings wrote:
Olaf (upon what were once knees)
does almost ceaselessly repeat
"there is some shit I will not eat."
That's not a bad credo for the small, peripheral, suffering nations of Europe.
Thu, 2013-03-21 18:44
I think the EU and IMF wanted Cyprus to honor the deposit insurance and not charge bank depositors on the first 100,000 euros. They wanted Cyprus to pay much of the bailout without borrowing money, this would lead to a levy of over 15% on the Russian tax evaders that use Cyprus. Clearly the government officials in Cyprus prefer those Russians to their own people. The EU only wanted Cyprus to pay the cost without borrowing money, with a tax of some sort.

Hi Bob
Nice to see The American Prospect still in business - some time ago I read that there were problems with that.
To "Cyprus's Big Bluff" I agree with you on "austerity is not the answer", I take some issue though with several items:
- "But what are the Germans going to do—invade? Happily, the allies after World War II insisted on a very small German army."
When is this bashing ever going end ??? Its been 58 years since Germany was destroyed, thanks to a crazy dictator who took power this month 70 years ago. You want my grandchildren - or yours - to keep blaming Germans for all the shit in Europe. And you know quite well which country has been doing the "invading" recently - and good for Germany that it didn't follow that shit! Re rearming Germany, that was done at the insistence of the US/NATO. We have downsized in a major way since then.
In my mind and that of many people much more knowledgeable than I, the real issue is that we have a single currency and a single market but not a single policy. That of course allowed the Cypriots to balloon their banks which are basically beyond help. The fact that everyone now is playing hardball on the scale of things is just a minor issue.
Another basic problem is that everyone who signed up for the Euro agreed to certain terms: 3% max deficit, and a limit on total debt. Some countries - Greece and others - cheated on that to get into the Euro zone. Would you kick Mississippi or any of the other low ranking states out of the dollar zone ? I don't think so.
Austerity is needed in some places, these are just some of the outrageous examples:
- a specially created bloated Greek bureaucracy to sell Olympic Airlines planes - after years of NOT trying - in the end for scrap.
- Sicily has no forests but more government foresters than the rest of Italy combined.
The major share of the EU structure funds did go to these med countries and they benefited from that a great deal, their current problems are then results of their governments not reigning in the voracious appetites of almost all segments of their respective societies.
Another point: Germany's exports are good, not because of currency issues but because we make products that people and businesses want, how else can one explain that despite the Euro going from a low of about 80 US Cents for one Euro to now about 1.30 US Dollar for one Euro and Germany's exports to outside the Euro Zone still grew every year.
We do need a spending program to invest in infra structure in the Med Euro countries, but with better controls on the bloated governments, a program that will allow their people to be more productive and to have a chance in this global world.

After I had viewed the comments at Neowin's news entry regarding digital rights management (DRM) support in Mozilla's Firefox, I decided to create this topic. I am wondering how many of you Neowinians have an opinion about DRM? Do you condone its use, despise it completely, or fall somewhere in between? For many, the abbreviation alone is enough to prevent a person(s) from buying or using a product with the technology or cause intense backlash (think of Microsoft's Next-Generation Secure Computing Base architecture, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and more recently, the Xbox One). Corporations would be at a competive disadvantage if they did not offer services designed to play protected content.
DRM does have a legitimate purpose. It implements and enforces policies related to the use of information. Content creators and service providers use DRM to decrease software piracy. Where is the incentive for content providers to create if they receive nothing in return? How can they continue to create without the funds required to do so? DRM can also be used by businesses and consumers to protect sensitive data, including financial and medical records.
I believe that DRM is a perfectly acceptable security model and much of the hostility towards the technology is misplaced. My belief is largely due to the documentation that I have read regarding Microsoft's Next-Generation Secure Computing Base (NGSCB) architecture. Its designers believed that the problems related to copyright protection were the same problems related to privacy protection.

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsSpotlight for Recruiting ProfessionalsMay 29, 2013
Among 2013 graduates who had applied for a job, those who took part in paid internships enjoyed a distinct advantage over their peers who undertook an unpaid experience or who didn't do an internship.
Results of NACE's 2013 Student Survey show that 63.1 percent of paid interns received at least one job offer. In comparison, only 37 percent of unpaid interns got an offer; that's not much better than results for those with no internship—35.2 percent received at least one job offer.
In terms of starting salary, too, paid interns did significantly better than other job applicants: The median starting salary for new grads with paid internship experience is $51,930—far outdistancing their counterparts with an unpaid internship ($35,721) or no internship experience ($37,087).
This is the third consecutive year that NACE's annual student survey has captured internship data for paid and unpaid interns; in each survey, paid interns exceeded their peers in job offers and starting salaries.
Note: All data are for bachelor's degree level graduating seniors who reported applying for a job before graduation.
NACE's Class of 2013 Student Survey was conducted from February 15, 2013, to April 30, 2013. The survey yielded more than 38,000 responses from college students, including 9,215 from seniors earning bachelor's degrees. Data for this story reflect responses from these seniors. The full survey report will be released in the fall of 2013.

Who doesn't love free software? Still, you might be unaware that "free" doesn't always mean free in the sense you might expect.
There are important distinctions between what we call "freeware" and what is known as "free software", "free and open source software" or "free, libre and open source software".
The main difference is in the definition of the word "free", which has multiple meanings. Freeware is provided at no cost - so it is free in that sense – but are you free to do anything you like with it? Can you re-distribute it without the developer's permission? The answer is usually no.
However, this isn't always the case. Some free software is free as in "freedom", meaning not only that it (probably) costs nothing but, more crucially, that you're free to do whatever you like with it. You can re-distribute it however you like, or even tap into the code and change it to suit your needs. Yes, developers of such software make the source code freely available to any and all to do with as they like. This is what the term "open source" is all about.
More importantly, some free software doesn't involve restrictive end user license agreements. As free software advocates like to point out, we're talking about free as in "free speech" not just free as in "free beer".
Over the next few slides we've rounded up 12 excellent free and open source applications worth investigating and experimenting with.
For loads more on the different varieties of free and open source music applications, and how to use them, pick up the October issue of Computer Music (CM 195), which is on sale now.
Mac, Windows and Linux-compatible, this GPL-licensed program can do everything you'd expect from a commercial audio editor.
Edit samples and songs, process audio files, burn CDs and export a wide range of audio file formats including WAV, AIF or MP3. After Mozilla's Firefox browser, Audacity might well be the best-known and most widely used open source music application.
Download Audacity
Got a folder full of Akai, Giga or DLS samples? You can play them or make your own sample-based instruments in LinuxSampler.
Despite the name, it is available for OS X, Windows and - natch - Linux. It's really just a sampler "engine", and you decide which front-end to use. Options include Qsampler or Fantasia GUIs, among others. Well realised and mature.
Download LinuxSampler
Cecilia 5
Released under the GNU GPL for Mac, Windows and Linux, Cecelia is a CSound-based graphical environment for music and signal processing.
Additive, subtractive, granular synthesis and processing and more are presented within an easy-to-use GUI.
Need a wickedly powerful drum machine? Available for Linux and OS X, Hydrogen is an advanced pattern-based drum sequencer and mixing environment.
With swing and humanisation functions onboard, along with the ability to layer both samples and patterns, you'd be hard pressed to find a better way to build beats for free.
Download Hydrogen
Pure Data
A sweeping visual programming language for multimedia, Pure Data is an open source program released under a "Modified BSD" license, considered GPL-compatible by the Free Software Foundation.
If you always wanted to get into the Max or Kyma systems but lack the bread, this one's for you. Mac, Windows, Linux and even Android and iOS are supported.
Download Pure Data
A Linux, Windows and OS X program that was among the first open-source products to be made available in Apple's App Store, Mixxx provides a professional quality DJ mixing environment that can read MP3, Ogg Vorbis, WAV, AIFF and FLAC formats, among others.
Support for more than a dozen hardware controllers is written in, too, for hands-on mixing. Nice.
Download Mixxx
Another DAW initially developed for Linux and now in alpha for Windows, too, Rosegarden is a fully realised MIDI and audio workstation with all the trimmings.
It's been around since 1993, if you can believe it, and it shows in the highly evolved, mature workflow. Released under the GPL license.
Download Rosegarden
Yet another nifty DAW, this one's strictly for Linux users.
Everything you need is here, including support for a wide variety of plugins (DSSI, LADSPA, Lv2 and VST in both native Linux and Wine-wrapped guises). Fully integrated with Jack and Linux's ALSA, Qtractor is easy to use and easy on the eyes. It's released under the GNU/GPL license.
Download Qtractor
Our second entry from Qtractor creator Rui Nuno Capela, samplv1 is a classic hardware-style soft sampler with multimode filtering, plenty of modulation options and a supremely easy-to-handle GUI.
It sounds the business and can be used standalone with Jack or as an Lv2 plugin. This one's Linux-only.
Download samplv1
Another one for OS X, Windows and Linux, this GNU GPL release has been in active development since 1996.
Designed as a programming language for real-time synthesis and algorithmic composition, SuperCollider is dense and deep. Books, seminars and workshops exist for those inclined to take the plunge.
Download SuperCollider
SonicBirth is a massive modular construction environment that enables the user to patch together individual modules in order to create their own audio effects, synthesisers and more.
Better still, anything created in SonicBirth can be exported as either a VST or Audio Units plugin. It can get pretty deep, for sure, but it's well worth the effort for those with a bit of time to commit.
This one is available for OS X and released under the GNU license.
Download SonicBirth
From the man behind Cecilia and Zyne, Soundgrain taps into the weird and wonderful world of granular processing.
Released under GNU GPL for Windows, OS X and Linux, it's a blast to use and easy to figure out.

A lot of commentators are breathing in paper bags over the GOP selection we have to choose from thus far. I'm not worried yet because we are many months away from the first primary, but I do have to wonder why the biggest names in the race are people who high five themselves after scoring in their own goal.
If ObamaCare never passed Mitt Romney would have one foot on solid ground and one in the Mormon quicksand and he would've been sinking only half as fast as his is now. Even though he is so plastic he could be Barbie's father-in-law, he could've had a shot this time with the backdrop of an 4 years of Obama's liberal iron fist behind him.
Then Newt Gingrich has decided he wants to be the GOPublic frenemy number 1. Even if he didn't agree with Paul Ryan's approach rather than set his bold proposal ablaze he could've shifted the topic of conversation to his six figure Tiffany's debt before Politico did.
I frankly don't care what Newt thinks of Paul Ryan anymore, unless he's opting for charm braclets over bumper stickers and yard signs, I want to know how a dude puts what amounts to a house into a jewelry store.
Newt really does seem hell bent on becoming a party of one, and that's something that tells me he probably should've though a little harder than the diamonds encrusted on his kind of jewelry store invoices before declaring his candidacy.
The rest of the field is a who's who...but not in the sense of stating who they are so much as we're asking. For example, Tim Pawlenty sounds like a guy who would be the owner of a pet store more than a presidential candidate, and because they hate her so much I think more Democrats know Michelle Bachmann than Republicans.
This, despite what the media wants us to believe, is probably a good thing. Do you want those Obamaton's them sniffing their butts? Give them a chance to build a campaign, away from the thin ice Romney and Gingrich stand on, and hopefully they can wow us when it really matters, during the primaries.
How exciting does the Republican have to be anyway? Yeah, McCain made paperweights look animated, but the nation insisted on being seduced by Obama before we could give him a chance to ask his doctor (much less us) about Valtrex.
He'd rather golf with his buddies and go on vacations than work on our relationship. We've been feeling like he said all those nice things in 2008 just to get us in the sack, and it wasn't even good enough to make the burning worth it.
We deserve better. If that means lame and boring is better, then its copies of the "Path to Prosperity," American flags made in China, and "you betchas" for everybody!

Eat lunch earlier, shed more pounds? That's the finding released today in the International Journal of Obesity, which followed 420 Spanish people in a weight-loss program.
In the study, people lost 25 percent less weight if they ate lunch after 3 p.m. But the study doesn't mean that you should eat earlier—in fact, you might want to do the opposite. The Spanish are known for making a late lunch the biggest meal of the day, so the study's authors couldn't say that the findings would apply here in the U.S.
That said, other new research does show that when you eat—not what you eat—can turn on your body's fat-fighting genes. Until Mr. Edison lit our evenings, we rose with the sun, worked, ate, played, and slept. That's what your hormonal cycle is designed for. Now, our schedules are more like eat-work-eat-work-eat-sleep. The average American eats 3.5 times per day, according to research from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences—and that's only counting meals of at least 70 calories or more, not the handful of chips you grab between commercial breaks.
In other words, our modern schedule has thrown our bodies' clocks completely out of whack—and along with it, our metabolism. The result: It's easy to get caught in a "fat cycle": a constant flow of hunger hormones that makes you prone to cravings.

White: Dominick Cruz gets immediate UFC bantamweight title shot upon return from groin injury
But, challenging a "nasty" fighter like Barao in your first fight back after a three-year layoff is something White says Cruz should think twice about.
His words (via Bloody Elbow):
"I literally have heard nothing from Dominick Cruz. I don't know what's going on with him. And I don't think after this much of a layoff it would be right to throw him in there for [a title shot], unless he wants it. He was the champ before all this stuff happened to him, and if he wanted to come right back and fight (Barao), then yeah, I'd do it. But Barao is one of those guys -- man, I just think Barao is so nasty. I'd fight somebody else. If it was me, personally."

Hape Puzzles
Hape puzzles are a great addition to a young child's repertoire of toys. For the youngest puzzlers (12 months and up), we recommend the three-piece knob puzzles that depict simple, familiar images and have pieces that are easy to remove and put back. As the child grows and becomes more comfortable with completing puzzles (2 years and up), you will want to move on up to the peg puzzles which will provide a bit more challenge. With up to ten pieces and smaller pegs on each piece, your child will continue to hone hand-eye coordination. Finally, a must-have item for any child is the beautiful Hape Bright Alphabet Puzzle. Made of wood, we love this set for it's versatility and clarity. The letters can stand up on their own to spell simple words, and they fit neatly into the cut-outs on the wooden board.

Fall 2012 enrollment at Washburn University totals 7,204 students, a slight decline (99 students), 1.4 percent from fall 2011. However, both the headcount and the number of credit hours in which students are enrolled (79,011) are the fifth highest on record for Washburn.
"We view this positively, as the number of high school graduates is down and will likely continue to decline until 2015," said Jerry Farley, Washburn president.
The slight decline can be attributed to the recent change in the university's enrollment criteria, he added. Approximately 50 students who would have been admitted in previous years were not accepted. Of this group, however, 21 are now enrolled in the Bridge Program offered on the Washburn Tech campus.
At Washburn Institute of Technology, 920 students are enrolled for fall 2012, an increase of 55 students (6.4 percent). Student credit hours also increased to 12,601 (4.1 percent) at Washburn Tech.
"We are pleased overall with the enrollment numbers in this challenging environment," Farley said. "We believe we are well positioned and our marketing and recruiting efforts are on track with our plans."
Farley was also enthusiastic that the average ACT composite score for fall 2012 first-time freshmen is 22.1. Washburn freshmen have a higher average ACT than the average for Kansas (21.9) and the nation (21.1).
In addition to academic opportunities, Washburn's freshmen will be able to depart upon graduation with a financial advantage, said Richard Liedtke, executive director of enrollment management.
"Washburn was recently recognized in the US News and World Report as third among regional universities in the Midwest of students graduating with the least debt. Washburn graduates who take out loans incur an average of $17,970," Liedtke said.

Pre-soaked dals and chilies are ground to a paste and steamed to form a dry, crumbly and savoury sauce that is combined and re-moistened with the cooking cabbage in Iyer's version, but I've fried the paste for ease of use instead here. Either way, the soft crumbs of dal provide an enjoyable contrast in texture with the crunch of lightly cooked cabbage, as well as a wholesome and delicious added layer of flavour.
Chopped Cabbage with a Crumbly Chana Dal SauceIf you liked this recipe you may also enjoy:
1 cup chana dal or yellow split peas
6 dried whole red chilies
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon asafoetida
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1 tablespoon urad dal
1/2 medium head green cabbage, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
handful fresh or dried curry leaves
handful fresh coriander, chopped
Rinse the chana dal or yellow split peas under running water. Place in a bowl and cover with water. If the water turns cloudy, drain and repeat until the water remains relatively clear. Add the chilies and soak for 3 to 4 hours.
To prepare the sauce, drain the dal and chilies and process in a food processor until a thick gritty paste is formed. Stir in the salt and asafoetida. Heat a frying pan over medium-low heat. When hot, add the olive oil, wait a few moments, then swirl around to coat the pan. Spread the dal paste over the pan and fry, turning over pieces of the paste occasionally, until the pieces are lightly browned on all sides and the dal is dry throughout — a toothpick inserted in the pieces should come out clean. Remove from heat and set aside.
Now heat a large saucepan or wok over medium heat. When hot, add the olive oil, wait a few moments again, and swirl around to coat the pan as before. Toss in the black mustard seeds and fry until the seeds start spluttering, a few seconds. Add the urad dal and stir until golden brown, about a minute. Add the cabbage and stir to coat the pieces with oil. Stir in the salt, cayenne, turmeric and curry leaves, add 1 cup of water, and turn down the heat to medium-low.
Break the dal pieces into small crumbs and stir into the cabbage. Cover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has absorbed the liquid, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in the coriander, and serve. Serves 6 to 8.

Least Favourite Korn Song?
Pretty self-explanatory, really.
For me, it would be Starting Over. There's something about that song that means I've never quite gelled with it.

I feel the reason as its leaving me, no not again. Its quite decieving as I'm feeling the flesh make me bad.

Re: Least Favourite Korn Song?
All In the Family.
Yes, I'm still banned from KS.
Re: Least Favourite Korn Song?
My least favorite Korn song would have to be PREDICTABLE. And my opinion isn't influenced by the bands dislike for the song. But it just doesn't do it for me. I have maybe listened to it only 8 times in my 10 years of being a fan while all other Korn songs are well over 100 plays each. lol and it's probably the only Korn song I CAN'T sing. lol
Other Korn songs are weird and different but at least I like them. Predictable is just whatever.
Re: Least Favourite Korn Song?
well it's hard to hate any korn song for me, but there are a few that i prefer not to hear all the time.
First, Earache My Eye: I'm sorry but I can't stand that song!!! Guys, let's keep JD on vocals, K?
Second, Let the Guilt Go: Not a good choice for a single, IDK why they chose it. Boring and the chorus sounds kinda stupid (no offense JD).
Word Up- Even JD said he hated that song and that it's his least favorite korn song. Of course, that song makes it on Rock Band!
Innocent Bystander: Don't like the meaning behind it, so I can't enjoy it that much. It's about how JD still goes to strip clubs and gives out drugs but just doesn't participate in it... like it's so much better...
As for JD solo stuff, can't stand Got Money- meaning? just---no. bad values there. "rain on them hoes"? no thanks. didn't need to hear that JD. *shudder*
besides that i like all other korn songs.Being a girl I don't like Beat It Upright, 10-2-way or Inside Out as much as you guys but I appreciate their artistic value.
Then, now, and forever... A.D.W.D.A.K.!!!
Re: Least Favourite Korn Song?
"Got Money" was a Lil Wayne cover and shouldn't be taken seriously.
JD recently clarified in the chat that he likes the demo version of "Predictable" but not the one on s/t. I might be wrong but I think "Word Up!" is Munky's least favorite song, unless Jonathan hates "Word Up!" and "All in the Family" equally.
Re: Least Favourite Korn Song?
love and luxury, really hate that song
Re: Least Favourite Korn Song?
twisted transistor
word up
love and luxury
for no one
getting off

Re: Least Favourite Korn Song?
I think All in the Family is just terrible.
Re: Least Favourite Korn Song?
I'm surprised by so many people's dislike for Politics, I've always liked that song. But yeah, I agree with All in the Family, that has no place on Follow the Leader. Cameltosis, on the other hand, I enjoy.

Blast From the Past: Staying Cool in the Summer
Written by Liz Stern on August 27, 2012 — Leave a Comment
It's hot outside here in the city…a good time for some ice-cold drinks and treats. But we didn't always have refrigerators and freezers to easily keep these foods cold. People used to have ice delivered to their buildings and homes. This ice was chopped from frozen lakes in the winter, stored in ice houses, where it was kept […]

Comments: The Dynasty is the best shaft/stick I've ever owned. It's extremely lightweight and very durable. Warrior's Nipple Grip is my favorite grip texture. I play 2 or 3 times a week between drop in and league games.
From: Neil, VA
Comments: I purchased this shaft after playing with one piece sticks for many years. The first game out I was immediately happy with the shaft. It is incredibly comfortable in my hands and very lightweight. I paired it with an Easton blade and it still feels very light. The grip is not over-kill (like Bauer shafts can be) and the nipple grip adds nice texture to the shaft. The release is pretty quick and, to me, plays similar to Vapor shafts. Overall, love this shaft and would definitely buy another.
From: Sean
Other Items to Consider

The Warrior Dynasty AX1T Grip Hockey Shaft utilizes the AsySym Technology that works perfectly with the low-kick taper to provide a player with an incredibly quick shot release. The AxySym Technology uses different fiber configurations on the front and back to allow for an easy load before shooting and a very powerful return when released.

The past couple days I've been experimenting with stack n' whack block making. This is a simple and fast fast fast way to make blocks. The blocks below finish up at 7 1/2" square but there are instructions at the bottom if you want larger blocks like in the orange quilt.
Start with two 8 1/2" squares.
Make a cut 2 1/2" in from each side.
Cut the center strip horizontally 2 1/2" in from the top and bottom.
Switch the center squares.
Sew the center strips back onto the new center square, right sides together and press out.
Sew the side strips onto the center strip right sides together and press out. Don't worry about lining up the side strips as you'll be trimming off those extra pieces anyways.
Trim off the top and bottom first, and the sides 1/4" or so until you have a square block that is 7 1/2" square.
If you want a larger block….lets say 8 1/2" finished, start with a 9 1/2" square and use the same cutting instructions and sizes. That will give you this same block as in the orange quilt….just easier. To make the same quilt with 72 blocks, start with 36 colored squares and 36 white squares, then stack n' whack away to make it extra fast!

Update on the SHIP program
On May 20, County Planner Alan Pierce told county commissioners the proposed legislative budget contains $350,000 for the Franklin County State Housing Initiative Partnership (SHIP) program. He said this is the first time in several years the program has been fully funded.
Commissioners also voted unanimously to use up to $5,000 to repair a roof damaged in recent heavy rains.
Pierce said Governor Scott issued an executive emergency order that allows Lori Switzer, SHIP coordinator, to receive applications from qualified residents whose houses have been damaged. SHIP has received one application for a roof repair and the cap on the amount of funds is $5,000. Repairs will be paid for with money set aside for hurricane damage last year. The funds are available because there were no storms.
WWII museum to take part in 'Thank You'
The Camp Gordon Johnston World War II Museum has been invited to participate in Leon County's third annual Operation Thank You on Friday, June 6 at the Leon County Courthouse in Tallahassee at 9 a.m.
This year's Operation Thank You will honor local World War II veterans and remember the 70-year anniversary of D-Day. It was seven decades ago when American, British and Canadian forces invaded the beaches of Normandy, France signaling the long-awaited liberation of Europe from German occupation.
The Museum will set up a display, which demonstrates the participation of forces that trained in Franklin County during WWII. Included will be uniforms, gear, maps and photos as well as information about the museum located in the Carrabelle Municipal Complex.
The renowned Tallahassee Swing Band will perform during the event and play songs from the '30s and '40s to remember the era of large swing bands.
For further information, contact Matt Cavell, Leon County community and media relations (850) 606-5300.
The Camp Gordon Johnston WWII Museum is a 501 c (3) non-profit corporation and is funded, in part, by the Franklin County Tourist Development Council.
Change of date for July county meeting
At the May 20 meeting, county commissioners voted unanimously to change the date of the second July county meeting from Tuesday, July 15 to Wednesday, July 16. The meeting will still begin at 9 a.m. and will be held at the courthouse annex in Apalachicola. The change will allow all five commissioners to attend a meeting of the National association of Counties. Commissioner plan to support Leon County Commissioner Bryan DesLoge who is running for vice president of the organization.
Commission discusses jail roof
At their May 20 meeting, county commissioners discussed replacing the roof at the county jail on County Road 65 in Eastpoint.
"The dilemma is that while the office and jail need a new roof, and the Hazard Mitigation grant provides some funds, the grant only provides 75 percent, and so the county is responsible for the rest," County Planner Alan Pierce said. "The county's share could be as much as $194,000 in cash, or in-kind. The county does not have that much cash."
Pierce said he was investigating whether it is realistic to try and use county labor for the match. "Contractors don't normally want to rely upon someone else's labor," he said.
He said the county wanted the contractor to warrantee the construction.
Commissioner Pinki Jackel asked if there was a cheaper option for the roof. Pierce said the county would have to go back to the Planning and Zoning Board to change the plans.
Jackel said she wanted to explore less expensive designs for the roof. "At the end of the day, you've got to have a roof," she said. "We can still do a roof out there and not break the bank."
Alligator Point revetment removal complete
On May 20, County Planner Alan Pierce told county commissioners removal of coastal debris in the form of damaged revetment ordered by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection has been completed. The debris was located on alligator Point Drive in front of the old KOA Campground.

The Alliance Defense Fund is what the ACLU would be if it would just lay off the smack long enough to realize its a soul-sold whore protecting some of the most evil behavior humanity is capable of.
Its not often I get in the role of advocacy, because that's not necessarily the purpose of this blog, but this is a good organization that is literally doing God's work in protecting the "freedom of religion" part of the first amendment.
I recently spotted an article involving them on at Fox News titled Lawsuit Claims College Ordered Student to Alter Religious Views on Homosexuality, Or Be Dismissed. This piqued my curiosity as to what country this fascist nonsense was happening in.
Georgia.....hmmm.....the one that borders Russia....right?
Oh holy hell they mean our Georgia! As should be imagined, a lawsuit is in progress and the ADF is on the case.
Yeah I already read the story so I shouldn't feign shock, but like a Democrat proposing a new government program to solve some problem, every time I click the link I like to think "maybe this time would be different."
I love how Augusta State faculty deems that Keeton needs "remediation." Maybe they're embarrassed that Keeton has made it all the way through the public education gauntlet to grad school while maintaining her faith.
Maybe the faculty of Augusta State University should go through American Remediation and be exposed to the secret documents that frame our laws and value system...like the Constitution.
I have to be honest, I'm not surprised that we've been moving toward this Brave New Anti-Christian world, but it is kind of a shock to see the machine that fulfills Orwell's prophecies working so brazenly in a state like Georgia. I guess that unlike illegal immigration in Arizona it looks like re-education camps know no borders.
Point, Augusta State...I have no doubt these Orwellian-college-think-monkeys who want to expel students, who are not actually failing out of school, for having the audacity to be Christian (aka the REAL audacity of hope) would know exactly what it means to have an "improper professional disposition."
I will grant the university this, we don't know from the article what Keeton has written that has given them cause for concern. However, all of this is taking place at a public institution, and her first amendment right to both speech and religion are protected. Should she graduate and start a career as a counselor her record at that point should speak for itself and not have to endure preemptive strikes launched against it by a bunch of book jockey's that don't live in the real world.
Keeton has already become a cause celeb on Facebook, she has both a Support and Remove page for her.
The "Remove" page actually has some surprisingly intelligent reasons for why the university is right, click here for a screen shot featuring one of them (WARNING: don't click if you don't like profanity.)
As of this writing I don't know if that eloquently worded gem of persuasion is still posted there, but I don't care to keep checking either.
If you can, please support the Alliance Defense Fund. They are the first, last, and more often than not, only line of defense against the secular and anti-christian madness that has been gradually strengthening it's grip on the country. I have donated money to them and you can donate here.
