Sparta, KY (Sports Network) - Kyle Busch became the first Sprint Cup Series
race winner at Kentucky Speedway with an impressive performance in Saturday
night's Quaker State 400.
Busch, the pole sitter, held off David Reutimann and Jimmie Johnson in a two-
lap shootout to the finish. An incident involving Clint Bowyer with six laps
to go setup the two-lap sprint.
After the restart, Johnson challenged Busch for the lead, but Busch pulled
away and then cruised to his third Sprint Cup win of the season and the 22nd
of his career.
"This is cool, man; This is right up there with the best of them," Busch said.
"I haven't won the big one, so this is as good as it gets right now."
Busch dominated most of the 400-mile race by leading 125 laps. He took the
lead for the final time after a round of green-flag pit stops concluded with
11 laps to go.
"It was a fun night and a tough night," he said. "I thought pit strategy would
kind of go either way. There at the end, [crew chief] Dave [Rogers] made the
right call to get me the tires I wanted and the fuel that I needed. That's
what won us the race."
Busch is now one victory away from 100 wins total in all three of NASCAR
national touring series (Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck). He
won the truck race at Kentucky on Thursday and then finished third in Friday's
Nationwide event here.
Reutimann passed Johnson for second on the final lap. He recorded his first
top-five finish of the season.
"We really haven't done much this year to make any noise," he said. "It was a
total team effort, great pit stops and great calls by [crew chief] Rodney
Childers, but we just came up a little short at the end."
Johnson, the five-time defending series champion, wound up third. After the
race, Johnson admitted he didn't see the white flag and thought there was one
more lap remaining.
"I thought we had one more," he said. "The 00 [Reutimann] was coming and got
by me, so I was hopeful I would have a shot at fighting for second. I thought
the win was kind of gone at that point."
Ryan Newman finished fourth, followed by Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth.
Brad Keselowski led a total of 79 laps and appeared to be Busch's biggest
challenge for the win, but Keselowski faded in the closing stages to finish
seventh. He also dealt with a faulty team radio for a majority of the race.
"I led a bunch of laps, and I'm really proud of my team for that," Keselowski
said. "I would've liked to get a better finish. We were better than we ended
David Ragan, who won his first Sprint Cup race last weekend at Daytona, Kurt
Busch and Jeff Gordon completed the top-10.
With the win, Busch took a four-point lead over Edwards.
One lap after making his final scheduled pit stop, Dale Earnhardt Jr. blew his
left-front tire, which forced the fifth caution with 14 laps left. Earnhardt
Jr., who did not change tires on his scheduled stop, fell two laps behind
before finishing 30th.
The inaugural Sprint Cup race had a sellout crowd of more than 107,000, but
major traffic issues on the roads leading into the 1.5-mile track, located
roughly 40 miles south of Cincinnati, prevented several fans from making the
Fans were still trying to get to the track halfway through the event, but
traffic personnel turned them away to create an outbound flow of traffic after
the race concluded.
Speedway officials said they will quickly address the issue in hopes of
preventing the same problems for next year's race here.

Downsizing Blog
Another $6.5 Billion in DOE Loan Guarantees
After Solyndra collapsed, the Department of Energy (DOE) should have learned it lesson. Guaranteeing loans for energy and industrial companies is a bad idea. The failures of Beacon Power and Fisker Automotive should have driven home the message. Now, we have further proof that the DOE isn't paying attention.
Water in the West: It's Complicated
In the media, one hears two different stories regarding the drought in California and Western water problems in general. Liberals say that droughts are being made worse by climate change. Conservatives say that water shortages are being perpetrated by the EPA in a misguided effort to sacrifice farmers for some tiny fish. The Washington Times editorial today is of the latter genre.
CBO's Minimum Wage Report
In a new report, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that raising the federal minimum wage from its current level of $7.25 an hour would raise the incomes of low-wage workers who remain employed while lowering the incomes of low-wage workers who lose their jobs. CBO's "middle" estimate is that a $10.10 minimum wage would reduce total employment by about 500,000.
Selling Federal Government Buildings
How many buildings does the federal government own? 10,000? 20,000? Actually, it is a staggering 306,000, according to the U.S. General Services Administration. In addition, the government leases 55,000 buildings, for a total of 361,000. These include offices, hospitals, warehouses, and other sorts of facilities. The chart shows federal buildings owned by department.
Less Than Minimum Wage
In the State of the Union address, President Obama endorsed a bill to raise the $7.25 federal minimum wage by nearly 40% over three years to $10.10 an hour in 2016. That would be an exact copy of what President Bush did on May 25, 2007, by signing into law a 40% minimum wage hike in three stages — from $5.15 to $5.85 on July 24, 2007, then $6.55 a year later and $7.25 on July 24, 2009. Have we not learned anything from what happened last time?
Cutting the $4 trillion budget
Media attention on the federal budget usually focuses on contentious issues, such as the debt limit, food stamp cuts, and Republican cave-ins. But let's look at the big picture: What does the government spend almost $4 trillion of our money on each year?
Hyping Billions in Taxpayer Spending
In today's issue of Nature, scientists from the National Ignition Facility (NIF) in California are trumpeting their advance in achieving fusion ignition. However, the National Ignition Facility is just like so many other projects from the Department of Energy. It's behind schedule and over budget.
Federal Government: Much Smaller in Canada
Canada released a new federal budget yesterday. The ruling Conservatives are centrists and far too supportive of the welfare state. Nonetheless, the government is expected to balance the budget next year while steadily reducing spending and debt as a share of GDP.
Obamacare Subsidies
Over at DarwinsFool.com, Michael Cannon summarizes a lengthy report issued by two congressional committees on how the Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Department of Health and Human Services conspired to create a new entitlement program that is authorized nowhere in federal law.
Edwards' Law of Government Cost Overruns
Here is a rule of thumb to remember when you hear about a proposed government project: If a politician says that it will cost $1, it will end up costing $2 or more. Call it Edwards' Law.

Gov. Schwarzenegger promised to protect education funding last week. I guess that all depends on how you define "protect."
At the board meeting just now, Oakland Superintendent Tony Smith said the district's budget hole for 2010-11 — once projected at about $28 million — will deepen to nearly $36 million if the governor's proposal holds.
That's about $201 per student.

Public Broadcasting Threatened-Please Take Action!
Laura Taylor about over 4 years ago
On Wednesday, the new Congress convened and public broadcasting funding is already targeted for potential cuts. Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantorâs You Cut initiative includes a proposal to eliminate federal funding for NPR. This threat is the first of many that we expect this year, and should it come to a vote, possibly as soon as next week, we need to demonstrate strong support for public broadcasting. NPR is only the beginning. Much of community and public radio as well as public television are also in jeopardy. But you can make a difference!
We will keep you posted as we learn more about the potential vote next week, but today we need your assistance to build support for public broadcasting.
Please join the 170 Million Americans Campaign, which represents the millions who listen to community and public radio and watch public television.
It is vital for the survival of WMNF's Corporation for Public Broadcasting funding that you join this campaign. WMNF receives $148,000 from the CPB. The National Federation of Community Broadcasters (NFCB), the main body that supports all community stations, would be dealt a severe blow by losing CPB funding. In fact, WMNF, NFCB, NPR and other entities that rely upon CPB funding would be essentially leveled if that funding is cut.
Joining the campaign is free, and the value to community and public broadcasting will be great.
Once you have signed up for the campaign, you will receive e-mail updates if you wish. We at WMNF will do our best to keep you informed as well.
Thank you for all you do for WMNF and stations like ours that serve so many!
Yours in Community,
Laura Taylor
WMNF Development Directorcomments powered by Disqus
CommentsEmail Link Not Working
I received an email from "WMNF 88.5FM Community Radio" <email@example.com> which included a link to the 170millionlisteners site. This link does not work. The one here on this blog does work. Perhaps the email to listeners should be resent with a corrected link.
So many smaller papers have cut back already. Why cut out of the best places to hear news!
With the internet and the freedom of speech guaranteed by this great country, there is no shortage of methods to communicate any message desired. I think what these people are wanting to preserve is the free ride on government hand outs. If you need government funds to stay above water, that should tell you something: there isn't an audience for whatever it is you're selling.
You're wrong Bob,
Your failed argument is that government funding of "PUBLIC BROADCASTING" is an unnecessary use of the peoples' contribution (taxes). In fact, American commercial broadcasting - with all its stupidity and intentional "dumbing down" of society - clearly demonstrates exactly why we need strong publicly funded sources of worthwhile programming.
You're right Bob...

The Bread Baker's Apprentice - Australia
After reading about Peter Reinhart's valuable bread baking resource I tried to track it down locally here in Perth, Western Australia. Nobody I contacted had it in stock. Turning to the Internet, I tracked it down to an online bookshop called "fishpond". They are offering it for $46.97 (AUD). There is a $5.99 shipping cost... but they have a (10%) discount voucher available which pretty much covers delivery. If you decide to order over $50 you get free delivery anyway.
Definitely worth grabbing one. I will have to wait a week or so for mine to arrive... sigh!!

Nice link, Ill be all over that myself..just started to attempt the odd loaf too, and have seen Peter Rienhart referenced quite alot on this forum.
Re: The Bread Baker's Apprentice - Australia
Yes, the BBA seems to be the "preferred" reference Brett with experts like Dino and others producing some amazing bread based on Reinhart's recipes.

I'm looking at the Releases page, and under release dates, there's no options to enter "TBD" or "cancelled" for any game release.
I'm not sure if "Cancelled" is useful, as perhaps if a game gets cancelled, we maybe shouldn't have a release for it anyway. On the other hand, if cancelled games are allowed in the wiki and aren't labeled as such at a sort-able level, then it may cause some more sorting issues.
"TBD" or "TBA" however you want to word it, would be incredibly useful, though... There are Q1, Q2, etc. options, but sometimes there isn't even that approximation, and I think a "TBD" option would solve a lot of that.
Obviously, these would all go under fuzzy dates.
What do you guys think?

Alternative Fashion
When opportunity knocks, walk through that door.
Having the pleasure to work with Ryszard Mrugalski of
Zoom Exposure on Bank Street in Ottawa
was a door I was happy to walk through.
With Mondomedeusah Creative directing and
presenting these models for this
Alternative Fashion Look,
the chance to expand my knowledge and vision of what
is seen through the lense multiplied.
This is a truly unique approach to the world of fashion, and one which I was please to be able to gain an insight into It was fascinating to see how simple clothing which one might wear on holiday or when relaxing with a game of online bingo at sites like www.foxybingo.com could be transformed before the camera. This alternative look at fashion is a perfect example of the creative opportunities within the world of clothes design. This was certainly one opportunity which I was extremely pleased to have taken.
There is no ceiling when it comes to fashion.
I love that it is so diverse,
just as people and hair are.

Weekdays at Noon on 92.3 KTAR
KTAR Middays
Dozer Download: Wheat!
I have come face to face with wheat. And I have walked away!
But the last two days were really, REALLY hard.
Last night, my husband and I went to a Teach for America reception at dinnertime. It was at a beautiful home that belongs to friends of ours, and everything at this house and at these gatherings is always top-notch. Including the food. The hostess welcomed me and said "There's food in the kitchen.. help yourself." I was scared. And for good reason! The counters were overloaded with platters of food. There were pigs in little blankets� open faced mini club sandwiches� and crab cakes, with bread crumbs, of course.
I ate raw veggies. I really wanted the pigs blankets.
I just kept reminding myself "I feel great� I feel great!" I can't deny that I do. And it's GOT to be the lack of wheat.
Still, it looks so tasty!!
We went to dinner at Tarbells. Mark was a guest on the show and he said his menu is actually about 85% gluten free. Fantastic! Except for the bread. That delicious, warm, crusty French loaf that comes with a bowl of olive oil.
Strike two! The server put it down and I had to have my husband hide it behind his wine. God, it looked good. At one point he even taunted me with it� I told him he was over the line. Grrrrrr
And this morning I went to pick up a salad for work�. Where did genius, wheat free me decide to go? Wildflower Bread Company. Brilliant. It's like I didn't THINK that would be difficult. Or maybe, sub-conciously, I thought that looking into the eye of the beast would be good for me.
I ordered a chopped salad, hold the bread� God, I never thought that would be possible.
But it is� and I DO feel great. It's undeniable. I am getting pretty good support too, and overall, this 10 days has been easier than I thought it would be.
But I still don't like the pizza. (:

THE government is, for the first time, to make a budgetary allocation from domestic resources for family planning activities in the 2013/2014 national budget.
The decision is based on the government's goal to make Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (CPR) grow at more than three per cent annually so that the country attains a 60 per cent CPR by 2015.
The Minister for Health and Social Welfare, Dr Hussein Mwinyi, said this on Friday evening when he met with stakeholders to debrief them on the outcome of the London Family Planning Summit. The meeting was organized by Advance Family Planning and UN Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA).
He said the government did not initially allocate funds because it was leaving it for the basket fund. He said Tanzania was committed to increase contraceptive prevalence rate to 60 per cent by 2015, exuding the government's determination to increase family planning users from 2.1 million (2010) to 4.2 million by 2015.
"In this regard the government is committed to increase mobilization of domestic resources for Family Planning. For Tanzania, this means local budgetary funds and also soliciting support from partners to meet the total commodity and supply cost estimated at $88.2m by 2015," he said.
He said Tanzania would continue to implement its National Family Planning Cost Implementation Programme (2010-2015), which has set a Contraceptive Prevalence Rate goal of 60 per cent. He said the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare would ensure an annual increase in domestic resources to strengthen contraceptive availability while enhancing strategic partnerships for improving access of all contraceptive methods.
Parallel to these efforts, they would also mobilize resources pledged from the London Summit to compliment the government efforts. He also noted that along with these efforts, the government is determined to strengthen Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) to ensure improvement in equipment and supplies as well as quality of services that also target young people.
The international community convened in London, at a Family Planning Summit two months ago to re-affirm its commitment to strengthen family planning services especially in developing countries. "This gathering provided an opportunity to take stock of progress in family planning, as well as determine how we could collectively mobilize the necessary resources for expanding access and method mix to those needing the services," the minister said.
The Family Planning Summit, co-hosted by the UK government, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in collaboration with UNFPA had an ambitious resolve - to ensure an additional 120 million women in developing countries in the world, including Tanzania, enjoy access to life saving family planning information, services and supplies by the end of this decade.
He said the Summit pledged $4.6 billion that will go a long way to improving services and ensure access for 380 million women and girls in developing countries by 2020. The Summit included thematic areas of increasing access and expanding choice, integrating family planning with women's and children's health services including HIV, ensuring equity and promoting rights (including those of young people), partnering for progress and the role of public/private partnerships and donor commitments.
He said the highlight of the Summit was the high level segment which brought together a panel number of high-level speakers including President Jakaya Kikwete, other Heads of State and Government, Heads of UN Agencies and Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) from private companies.
He said what this meant to the developing world, including Tanzania, is anticipation for additional financial resources would be made available to countries through a range of channels. He said they include support to procurement of cost-effective commodities, support to scaling up services, and support to innovative and new approaches to reaching the poorest and most vulnerable women and girls.

Nov. 11-12: UTSA presents Shakespeare history play 'Richard III'
(Nov. 10, 2011) -- The Drama Through Performance Troupe in the UTSA Department of English will present Shakespeare's "Richard III" at 7 p.m., Friday-Saturday, Nov. 11-12 in the Buena Vista Theater at the UTSA Downtown Campus. The performances are free and open to the public.
One of Shakespeare's history plays, it is believed to have been written in 1591. The play depicts the Machiavellian rise to power and subsequent short reign of Richard III of England.
After a long civil war between the royal family of York and the royal family of Lancaster, England enjoys a period of peace under King Edward IV and the victorious Yorks. But, Edward's younger brother, Richard, resents Edward's power and the happiness of those around him.
Malicious, power-hungry and bitter about his physical deformity, Richard begins to aspire secretly to the throne -- and decides to kill anyone he has to in order to become king. Using his intelligence and skills of deception and political manipulation, he begins his campaign for the throne, using executions and murder to achieve his goal.
The UTSA production is directed by Lynn Oliver, UTSA professor of English, and sponsored by Bridget Drinka, chair of the UTSA Department of English.
Oliver joined UTSA this fall after a career of more than 20 years as an actor, singer, theatrical agent and high school theater educator in New York, Los Angeles and San Antonio.

DWTS Pro Karina Smirnoff Choreographs and Stars in Eric Benet's Music Video
Is Karina Smirnoff the new Halle Berry? The Dancing With the Stars pro recently spent quality cozy time with Halle's ex Eric Benet — but it was all in a few days' work for Eric's new music video.
The Insider went behind the scenes in L.A. for the making of the "Harriett Jones" video, and Karina was gushing about how excited she was to both choreograph and star in it.
"It's been an amazing day so far," she says. "Yesterday was our only day of rehearsals, but Eric — he has swagger. He's got natural ability. He is absolutely amazing. He picked up choreography fast and made it his own."
(Eric Benet for DWTS Season 16? Think about it!)
If the song and clips are any indication, the video is going to be smooth, sultry and smokin' hot. Congrats, Karina!
Dancing With the Stars Season 15: All-Stars will premiere on Monday, September 24 at 8p.m. ET/PT on ABC. Check out the full All-Stars cast list here.

Was it cold enogh for you at home last night? Do you have enough gas to get to Newburgh? (about 100 miles from Hastings on Hudson and there are fully functioning gas stations there.) Laboring without electricity, local stores and fuel wears in you after a while. Consider this moment as an opportunity to take a short unplanned vacation.
Right now in the Catskills it's the slow season, there are world class restaurants, hiking, music, shopping, scenery, electricity, gas, cozy bed and breakfasts, hotels and vacation homes for rent at the low season rates. Let your host know you are escaping Sandy and they may give you additional discounts.
Check out Airbnb, VRBO, and Flip Key for listings of potential homes in the area that are set up for guests. Some hosts are offering deep discounts to folks who need shelter after Sandy. Even if a listing seems too expensive, send the owner a note asking for what you need!
If you are vollunteering Great! It's a good time to be of service. If not know the main roads are open and it's easy to get away from your cold, dark home. (Which will be there when you get back.) You can also help others by not being a draw on local food and gas supplies.
Before you go turn off all you appliances. Consider unplugging everything or throwing the main breaker if you are not sure that you can get them all off. Make your reservation and get in the car and go.
Be sure to get backin time to vote or arrange for an absentee ballot.

Recognized as one of the nation's top 25 percent of Medicare-certified home health agencies, Winthrop's Home Health Agency (HHA) has been named a 2006 HomeCare Elite provider. This designation placed Winthrop's HHA among the top 500 home healthcare providers across the U.S.
The consistent flow of praise that arrives daily from grateful families and patients is a testament to the Agency's seamless continuum of compassionate post-hospital care, aimed at allowing patients to maintain independence and quality of life at home while recuperating or managing an illness.
With the average length of hospital stays decreasing and the number of residents aged 85 and older rapidly climbing, the need for additional, quality home healthcare services grows almost daily.
"Home healthcare" covers a wide range of basic and specialized health and social services delivered at home. "We provide home care for patients who have had cardiac surgery, joint replacements, mastectomies and gynecological procedures, as well as those with chronic conditions such as congestive heart failure, pulmonary disease, diabetes and wound care issues," said Anne Calvo, RN, the Agency's Administrator/Director of Patient Services. With a staff of 200, the Agency, which logs more than 100,000 home visits annually, also offers in-home care for maternity patients, as well as comprehensive services that include nursing, rehabilitation and social work for acute and chronically ill patients -- from newborns to adults -- with short- and long-term needs.
Encompassing nursing, social or therapeutic needs and/or assistance with the essential activities of daily living, the services include: skilled nursing; ostomy and wound care; rehabilitation services, such as physical, occupational and speech therapies; medical social services; intravenous therapy, including total parenteral nutrition, antibiotics, chemotherapy, hydration and pain management; lab work; home health aide assistance with personal care; and medical equipment and supplies.

Oct. 11, 2008
WORCESTER, Mass. - Senior quarterback Dominic Randolph (Amelia, Ohio) connected on 41 of 54 passes for a season-high 430 yards and four touchdowns, to lead the Holy Cross football team to a 41-34 victory over Brown at Fitton Field. Randolph's 41 completions tied his own school single-game record, which he just set last week at Yale. Holy Cross improves to 2-3 overall with the victory, while the Bears fall to 2-2 on the season.
The Crusaders opened the game by taking a 7-0 lead at the 11:02-mark of the first quarter, on a one-yard run by senior tailback Terrance Gass (Sicklerville, N.J.). Holy Cross then increased its lead to 14-0 just over three minutes later on a 57-yard scoring pass from Randolph to senior wide receiver Jon Brock (Acworth, Ga.). Brown came back to score its first points on its next possession, with Michael Dougherty throwing a two-yard touchdown pass to Bobby Sewell. But Holy Cross made the score 21-7 before the end of the first quarter, when Randolph found Brock with another scoring strike, this one for 33 yards.
Dougherty threw his second touchdown pass early in the second quarter, finding Trevan Samp for 13 yards. The Crusaders came right back down the field, and Randolph tossed a 19-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Freddie Santana (Staten Island, N.Y.). The Bears would not go away, and Dougherty threw a 22-yard scoring pass to Colin Cloherty less than four minutes later to cut the lead to 28-21. Then, on the last play of the second quarter, senior placekicker Matt Partain (Libertyville, Ill.) booted a 46-yard field goal to make the score 31-21 at the break.
Partain kicked his second field goal of the day early in the third quarter, this time from 43 yards out, to put Holy Cross up 34-21. Brown's Robert Ranney then kicked a pair of field goals, one late in the third quarter and another early in the fourth period, cutting the Crusader lead to 34-27. But Randolph came back to direct a 15-play, 86-yard drive, ending with a nine-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Bill Edger (Hainesport, N.J.), to make the score 41-27. The Bears were able to add one more touchdown with just over a minute to go on a 64-yard pass from Dougherty to Sewall, but the ensuing onside kick went out of bounds, and Holy Cross was able to run out the clock for the victory.
Eight different Holy Cross players had at least four receptions on the day, led by Brock with six catches for 130 yards. Gass also had a big afternoon, catching seven passes for 50 yards, in addition to rushing 11 times for 35 yards. Dougherty led Brown by completing 41 of 60 passes for a school-record 526 yards and four scores.
Holy Cross returns to action on Saturday, Oct. 18, when it travels to Dartmouth for a 12:30 p.m. game.

I don't know how many of you are fans of the unbelievable facts Facebook page, but I've seen the "woman who was pregnant for 46 years" wayyyy too many times to not investigate further. Upon further inspection I learned that the woman's baby died and calcified itself within her womb as to protect the mother from the rotting flesh and disease. When a fetus is past 12 weeks old, the body can't absorb it. With modern medicine women of today can now just go in and have the body removed. Unfortunately, there are still plenty of women in third world countries, without access to modern medicine that are still at risk of having a Lithopedion, or stone baby.
Though some women are still susceptible, it's actually very rare, or so I learned. So I didn't have too much to investigate, but Wikipedia(God bless the creator, though *in snooty teacher voice* "it's not a credible source") gave me a vast knowledge on the subject. Well, at least vast in the sense that I'm now educated enough to write a blog in which you are reading. Thank you wikipedia. Any who, the whole subject still seems bizarre to me. How can you go through life knowing damn well that your dead baby is still inside of you? I've looked at pictures and I realized that often it doesn't even look like a baby after calcification, but it's still in fact your unborn child.
Some women went on to bare more children, while others were left infertile. Regardless of whether you pop out more munchkins, how can a women look down at her stomach, often feel pain, and not go mad? In some cultures there is a myth that a child can take years to be born and it would be special- like a saint. So some mothers hope that it's the saint case. Other mothers however, know that their fetus is dead, and yet they flea from hospitals or seek no help at all. I completely understand a third world country with no option of removal. You learn to live. But for a woman who does have the option, who chooses to carry a grave in her womb? I can't fathom it and I can't even imagine living with a lump in my womb and not committing suicide if there was no other choice.
So as you can see, this subject has been rattling my mind. So I googled more and more. Then I got interested in the idea of mummified pregnant women, I didn't find much, but I did find very neat skeletal pictures of women and their babies. This led to an even more morbid discovery, but I'll get to that in a minute. I was looking at the skeletons not as a sadistic twat but as an intrigued pretend archaeologist. I so badly want to know the stories of the women who are now gone. How did they die? Did their families mourn the loss of mother and child? It's so sad to think of women who were possibly about to deliver their first child, only to die, because modern medicine wasn't around. It's even more disturbing to learn what happens to some women who die before giving birth.
Coffin Birth is when a fetus is pushed out of the womb postmortem. Often it is the result of natural gases within the body building up and needing an escape, pushing the child out. The time varies and it can happen either hours or days later. Can you imagine finding a woman you love dead, and her baby hanging outside of her? Death can truly be horrific and unkind. I couldn't even have made up something that awful, and yet I find myself reading about it. I know it's morbid, but something about a pregnant woman's death and the death of an unborn child fascinates me. It's just incredible to me, how cruel the universe can be. It's also beautifully poetic in way that mother and child be laid to rest together, and in the case of lithopedion that the child's final resting place be the same place it was created. Ashes to ashes, womb to womb. Life is amazing and very disturbing and traumatic.
And now I wonder. I wonder what went through the minds of women who carried their dead children for years. I wonder if they hoped for a kick, continued calling the dead baby their picked out name, and if the women cried at night. I also wonder what the mother who was dying felt. Did she fear for her child? It's agonizing to envision every death that has occurred to a pregnant woman, a sacred vessel. I wonder how traumatic it must have been to ever witnessed a case of coffin birth and how someone could sleep afterward. Lastly, I thank God I am in the country I am at this time in history. May I never experience any of these sad occurrences (though I guarantee you I won't be keeping a dead baby in my womb, shoot me first).

In case you haven't hear, there's some news from Sony at Gamescom in Germany — a smaller, less pricier version of the PS3. The PS3 Slim is real. Even the price is smaller, checking in at $299. You can hear SCEA lead dog Jack Tretton give a rundown of the system over at the PlayStation blog.
I like the design. I like the price, especially since I got my original monolith PS3 bundled with Uncharted and Motorstorm for a heap of cash. However, I also like being able to play stuff like God of War, Vagrant Story, Shadow of the Colossus, Okami and a bunch of other PS2 classics. It was actually a big selling point for me. I imagine a lot of people are going to see this as the tipping point to go and get one. (or, perhaps 360 owners are sick of worrying about their system red-ringing every time they turn it on). However, I'm also curious to see what happens in regards to trade-ins. Anger? Rage? Or a silent resignation that you wanted to be an early adopter, succeeded, and probably knew something like this was going to occur?
Other highlights: It uses less power, which means it's not going to make as much noise as the earlier black fortress edition that everyone has. Thing is, compared to the 360, the PS3 is practically the Red October in terms of silent running. So that's not really a major selling point for me — besides, are you really going to notice system noise when Kratos is disemboweling centaurs in HD? The volume's not going to be up for that? Other cute tech bits include "Bravia Sync," which enables Bravia TV's XMB (cross-media bar) to be controlled through the PS3. There's also a feature that turns off the PS3 when the TV shuts down, because apparently we can't have people mustering the energy to push another button.
We'll get to see how this plays out, starting Sept. 1. My original PS3 is staying where it is, unless our new dog does something menacing to it.

Hampshire City Hotel – Groningen is the ideal base for a weekend exploring Groningen and its surroundings. It is located close to the central station, so easily accessible with all the city's hotspots nearby. You can hire a bicycle at the hotel and explore the city. Cycle through the centre with its historic warehouses, courtyards and buildings, past the Martini Tower towards the Grote Markt and see Groningen at its best.
The Groninger Museum is an absolute must. The museum has a wonderful collection of its own and also hosts special touring exhibitions. The building is an artwork in itself. It was designed by several well-known architects, including Allessandro Mendini.
There is also lots to see outside the city. You could go to Pieterburen, for example, to visit the seal nursery, or spend an afternoon walking on the tidal marshes. Back at the Hampshire City Hotel – Groningen, it's time to relax in the sauna followed by a lovely meal in one of the local restaurants.
The city of Groningen has won numerous awards. Such as 'Best City Centre' and 'Bicycle City of the Netherlands'. You can experience the latter at Hampshire City Hotel – Groningen by hiring a solid Johnny Loco bicycle and going exploring.

A really fun museum is the Dutch Comics Museum (Nederlands Stripmuseum). Here you will meet comic book heroes like Suske en Wiske, Olivier B. Bommel and Jan, Jans en de kinderen The Noordelijk Scheepvaartmuseum is not only a wonderful building to look at, it also has an interesting collection about the history of shipping in the northern provinces of the Netherlands. At the Groninger Museum, the Museum Shop and Mendini Restaurant are worth a visit in their own right.
The city has a lot of wonderful architecture. The central station or Hoofdstation, for example, was designed by Isaac Gosschalk in 1896 In the centre, the Goudkantoor, a renaissance building dating from 1635, and the many historic warehouses on the Noorderhaven are also worth a visit. Examples of modern architecture in the city include the famous Gasunie building and the urinal by Rem Koolhaas.
Not far from the city is the village of Pieterburen. This is home to the world famous seal nursery founded by Lenie 't Hart who takes care of ill seals. The visitor centre has an exhibition and a film. And if you're in Pieterburen anyway, why not take the family walking on the tidal marshes?

Jersey Shore
Uh-Oh: What's Going on With Pregnant Snooki's Legs?
Snooki has been a trooper throughout her pregnancy, managing to film both Jersey Shore Season 6 and Snooki & JWOWW with a growing baby in her belly. It could be the whole $150K per episode thing, but who's thinking about the money, right?
Either way, there's no denying that Snooks has been a champ over the past 8 months, enduring her pale complexion (the horror!), tired feet, and general discomfort. Now that the reality TV star is expecting in less than two months though, it looks like her symptoms are kicking into high gear.
"Dear Leg cramps, go away please. Your not fun #pregnantproblems," Snooki tweeted early this morning (July 18).
Well, that explains why the tweet is from 5:50 a.m. — we think it's officially time for Jionni to take up massage lessons. Keep on truckin', Snooks!
Want more Jersey Shore? Catch the next episode of Snooki & JWOWW on on Thursday, July 19 on MTV.

The Hot List shows the most buzzed about celebs of the moment as measured by reader activity on People.com
When viewers first met Teresa Giudice on The Real Housewives of New Jersey in March 2009, she was described as Dina and Caroline Manzo's friend who loved to shop, get spa treatments and spend time at the Jersey Shore with her three young daughters and husband, Joe, who owned a successful construction business. They lived in a brand-new, $1.7 million 10,000-sq.-ft. mansion, and the pregnant mom soon gained a reputation as a big spender (dropping more than $120,000 on furniture for a single room). But that October, the couple filed for bankruptcy, claiming they were a staggering $10.98 million in debt.

You say that White's illusion makes the grey stripes on a black line look darker, and on a white line look lighter (6 October, p 31). I experienced the opposite effect with the example given: the grey stripes on the black lines look lighter than the ones on the white lines. Do I have unusual vision in some way?
• Sorry, we inverted our description. You see what everyone else sees: the grey stripes look lighter when they are within the black line.

Christopher Prener is a Doctoral Candidate in Sociology at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. He received a B.A. with Honors in Sociology and History in 2008 from St. Lawrence University and a M.A. in Sociology in 2010 from Northeastern University. He is currently a Graduate Assistant at the Institute on Urban Health Research and Practice (IUHRP) where he works on Dr. Alisa Lincoln's literacy research project. In this role, he works as an interviewer and manages the warehousing of the project's data, which includes data from structured and unstructured interviews as well as medical record review data. Part of the data system Chris has designed includes iPad-based interview guides that are used for data collection at the literacy study's field sites.
Chris's graduate research has focused on multiple dimensions of emergency and mental health care in the United States, including public perceptions of mental illness, inequalities in hospital emergency department care, and the treatment of mental illness in Emergency Medical Service (EMS) settings. His dissertation research investigates the ways in which EMS work is affected by the neighborhoods it occurs in. In particular, Chris's dissertation work seeks to better understanding the complex interplay between the everyday work practices of EMS providers and physical place by analyzing the ways in which place structures providers' work shifts and their outlooks about patient care, socially stigmatized disorders, and the neighborhoods that they work in on a daily basis. His dissertation uses a mixed methods research design to investigate these interests. The design includes ethnographic observations of EMS work shifts and the neighborhoods where these shifts occur, semi-structured interviews with EMS providers, EMS patient data, and a wide variety of demographic and administrative data. Each element of the research design is geocoded, allowing Chris to situate his data spatially and to utilize various GIS and spatial statistical techniques for analysis.
In addition to his research, Chris is also interested in the development of data tools to assist in the collection of mixed methods data in interview and ethnographic research settings. He has an ongoing software project, FieldWerks, which is designed to extend the reach of ethnographers and allow them to easily collect spatial data at their field sites using iPhone-based software.

Kathy Castor faces Tiger Bay Club
Tom Baur
WMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
Kathy Castor, Congress member for Floridaâs 11th District, spoke this afternoon at the Suncoast Tiger Bay Club, at the Feather Sound Country Club in Clearwater.
Standing before more than 80 members of the Tiger Bay club, two-term Democratic Representative Castor claimed the Reinvestment and Recovery program is creating jobs and helping cash-strapped Americans not lose their homes to foreclosure.
So in response to the unparalleled economic crisis of our generation, the recovery act aims to create and save three and a half million jobs targeted at the emergency period which is designated to end by the fall of 2010. It is the shot in the arm, or the shock to the system, that was provided to address the heart attack that our country went through in the economic collapse of the past year.
Dr. David McKalip asked if Castor supports plans that would penalize doctors financially if they spend money on their patients merely to save money for the insurance companies and government.
Jobi Helsen took home the Fang and Claw Award for the most challenging question of the day.
Iâm Jobi Helsen. I own a boat yard. I had 20 employees 2 years ago and I have 8 today. So hereâs the question: there are millions of unemployed and most small businesses struggling to survive, but all the privilege and benefits that congress has, whether it be republicans or democrats, does any in congress have empathy for these people, and would they be willing to take a ten percent cut in pay, and pay more towards their own health care.
Castor said that she would gladly give up 10% of her congressional salary. She also said that each year she returns a significant portion of her congressional budget to the treasury. She added that she has her own healthcare insurance and does not use the congressional insurance available to her.
The five largest health insurance companies have racked up combined profits of $12.2 billion â up 56 percent over 2008.
Itâs the best evidence that weâve got to keep fighting for healthcare reform for our families and businesses, and it is a particularly important issue to Florida and Florida families and the folks who are paying insurance. One of the reasons theyâre paying more is because we have so many people in Florida that do not have health insurance, folks that have it are having to pay extra for folks who do not. And that is going to continue to be a liability on our economy and our businesses unless we get it under control. Thereâs no reason for these insurance companies to be cherry picking, you know, covering healthy people so that they can bank the profits. We need a more sane system and we need meaningful insurance for our families so that when they pay the premium they know theyâre not going to be cancelled.
On February 27, Castor is planning to help her constituents take advantage of the new tax cuts and credits available under the Recovery Act.
comments powered by Disqus
Yes under President Obamaâs recovery act there are significant new tax credits avail to families. So we want to help them fill out their taxes so that they get that money right back in their pocket. Also student financial aid, we have some experts that will be on site willing to work with families to fill out that financial aid form. I suggest they go to our website castor.house.gov for all the details on the upcoming workshop.

Aydin Tufan Tekin, a Turk kidnapped by the Meqdad clan, looks on during an interview with two Turkish journalists at his captors' house in the suburbs of Beirut August 16, 2012. (REUTERS/Stringer)
BEIRUT: Aydin Tufan Tekin, the Turkish citizen held hostage by the Meqdad clan in Lebanon, was given medication by a doctor Monday after falling ill, the clan's spokesman told The Daily Star.
"[Tekin] was given a number of medications by a doctor who visited him twice yesterday and today," Maher Meqdad said.
Meqdad said the doctor's visits came at the request of the Turkish hostage. When asked about the nature of Tekin's illness, Meqdad said he was unfamiliar with the details.
Two Turkish men were kidnapped this week in Lebanon. Businessman Aydin Tufan Tekin was kidnapped upon his arrival in Beirut Wednesday by the Meqdad clan, which also abducted over 20 Syrians, in retaliation for the recent abduction of one of their members, Hassan Meqdad, in Damascus.
Another Turkish citizen, Abdel-Basset Arslan, was kidnapped at dawn Friday, but the Meqdad family has denied involvement in his abduction.

On the Streets of Addis Ababa with Matt Hughes
The site. "Chaka Meda" means "forest area," though you'll be hard pressed to find any groves here.
The proposed site is in the middle of a densely settled neighborhood. Even without a field or a center, many residents already use the field for sports...and other activities.
Preliminary site analysis & site plan, from the Design Statement
Design considerations:
• Urban Site in low income Area;
• Security - guard, walls, site lighting, entry gate;
• Visual appeal from street;
• Community approach and usage;
• Pitch relationship to centre building and from entry (sequence);
• Solar and Wind orientation (pitch orientation);
• Existing Community movement through site and impact of project;
• Provision of 'alternative' playing area to pitch (forecourt);
• Inclusion of existing StB 'Dojo";
• Provision for Spectators on event days.
• Conservation of Site Area (permission received for G+1 or two story building);
• Public use of site and semi-private use of site;
• BOH functions and separate entry for services;
• Relationship to Pitch - visual and physical;
• Organisation of Building use - change rooms, staff rooms, classrooms, offices;
• Environmental (heating and cooling + materials & orientation);
• Way-finding and approach;

After further development, Matt assembled a Schematic Design and drafted a design statement incorporating his initial conclusions for the center and the site.
The building is proposed as two story (G+1) to reduce its footprint and make the building visible from outside the site. Entry is made via a ground level foyer, open to show the stairs for easy navigation upstairs, and to provide a double height welcoming space where participants can easily navigate to either the change rooms or classrooms upstairs. Clay brick cladding identifies the staff and management side of the building. The Staff room is located to the right of the entry giving good oversight of the ground level. The clinic is located to the left in the entry space and the area in front of the clinic provides some seating and notice board function.
"The Football for Hope centre will be like nothing these boys have ever had before. It will give them a sense of self worth, pride and honour... and shows that in some small way the world cares about them, cares abut them enough to donate this facility so they can make a change in their lives."
With the help of AFH, FIFA, and Streetfootballworld, Matt is proud to say:
"We will build it for them."
