Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals' John Abraham on new role: 'It's been tough'
It was generally considered a coup when Arizona Cardinals' general manager Steve Keim inked veteran pass rusher John Abraham to a two-year deal right before the beginnning of training camp in July.
After all, Abraham isn't just any pass rusher. With 122 quarterback sacks on his r�sum�, the 35-year-old is the league's active leader in that category -- five more than Minnesota's Jared Allen.
However, Week 1 didn't go well for Abraham, as he saw action on only 20 defensive snaps in a loss to the St. Louis Rams, and didn't generate much of a rush on any of them.
"It's been tough," Abraham said Friday about the adjustment to a new role with a new team. "It's been tough, I can't lie about that and say I'm totally into it yet, but I'm taking it in stride and I'm trying to do the best I can when I'm in there.
"I'm trying to put a little life in the team when I'm in there, I'm trying to show them that I still got a little something left in the tank. That's my biggest thing -- I know I still can play and I'm just going to enjoy my role and what I'm doing right now."
Head coach Bruce Arians said earlier in the week that the goal is to get Abraham at more snaps on defense this week against the Detroit Lions. Abraham says the goal is a simple one for him and the rest of the guys up front.
"Get to the quarterback, the same thing it is every week," he said. "(Last week) we didn't have as many opportunities, I think, to get a good pass rush like we wanted to. This week, it's definitely going to be there, so we've got to show up.
"With me, Calais (Campbell), (Darnell) Dockett, and our linebacking crew, we've got to get there."
Detroit did a nice job of keeping quarterback Matthew Stafford upright in their season-opening win over Minnesota last week. In 43 dropbacks, Stafford wasn't sacked and was hit only three times while throwing for 357 yards and two touchdowns.
Abraham is aware of the challenge facing the Cardinals' defense Sunday.
"I think they have a smart enough quarterback and wide receivers and running backs to get the ball out quick, so it's going to be tough for us to get there."

SPACE tourism operators need to get real about the extraordinary risks they face, the US Federal Aviation Administration warned last week.
George Nield, head of the FAA unit that regulates commercial human space flight safety, said many civil companies presented their efforts as pioneering a "golden age". For example, the X Prize Foundation, which backed the $10 million prize for the first civilian spacecraft to reach sub-orbit, has often likened the race to Charles Lindbergh's 1927 transatlantic flight which set off the golden era of aviation.
"What's going on now represents a very different level of risk," Nield told the Space Frontier Foundation's annual meeting in Washington DC. If you have to draw parallels, he said, look to the early supersonic jets, such as the F-104 Starfighter, dubbed the Widowmaker, which took the lives of 110 pilots of the Luftwaffe alone.
Neglecting safety could mean "an end to ...

Kuala Lumpur — Vice President Joseph Nyuma Boakai says he will continue to set out on a crusade to fetch those investments and partnership opportunities that will deliver positive life changing conditions to the people of Liberia.
The Vice President asserted that he takes great pride in exploring for more information and good engagement that will yield benefits for both the investor and the people of Liberia. Vice President Boakai was speaking Sunday at a welcome dinner hosted in his honor in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia by Sime Darby.
He said he and his delegation were in Malaysia to compare notes on how best Sime Darby's investment in the oil palm industry can be of greater meaning and long term benefit to communities in the operational areas of Sime Darby as well as the people of Liberia.
He lauded the company for the scholarship award that was held in Monrovia in 2013, according to a dispatch from the Vice Presidential Press Secretary, George Saah, in Kuala Lumpur.
The Vice President's delegation includes the Managing Director of the National Port Authority and two Liberian Business men and one Business woman and the Executive Director of the Group of 77 Mrs. Kartumu Y. Boakai who has come to explore possibilities for possible collaboration with institutions with similar programs, the Vice President's Chief of Staff Samuel A. Stevquoah and Policy Advisor Anthony Kesselly.
Vice President Boakai is expected to meet with the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia and the Malaysian Chamber of Commerce. Sime Darby is one of the world's top producer of oil palm; the oil palm industry accounts for over 20 billion dollars worldwide.

Timothy Murphy, M.D.
Dr. Murphy graduated from Boston University Medical School in 1995. He completed his residency in Internal Medicine/Primary Care tract at Boston Medical Center (the old Boston City Hospital). He dreamed, however, of having his own medical practice but the time for this had not yet come.
After finishing residency, he passed the American Board of Internal Medicine examination to become Board Certified in Internal Medicine (he also passed his recertification examination in 2008.)
In 1998 he joined a group practice in Waltham associated Deaconess-Waltham Hospital. He quickly grew a thriving practice and was named the medical director of the New England Sinai rehabilitation satellite hospital at Waltham Hospital. At this satellite facility, he oversaw the unit and cared for very complex rehabilitation patients with severe respiratory, infectious and cardiovascular problems. The unit thrived under his leadership. The Deaconess-Waltham Hospital and thus the New England Sinai closed in 2003.
Dr. Murphy's group practice moved to St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in 2003. In addition to caring for his own patients, Dr. Murphy also instructed internal medicine residents. However, over time he found the commute too difficult into downtown Brighton. Thus in 2005, he joined the Dedham Medical Associates. This this was much closer to home and he admitted his patients to Faulkner and Brigham and Women's Hospitals. But it was still not his own practice.
In early 2007, almost by accident, Dr. Murphy heard of a single physician suite which had become available for immediate occupancy in Weston Center. Once he saw Weston Center and the suite at 56 Colpitts Rd., he knew he had finally found the site for his own practice.
Weston Primary Care opened in October 2007.
Dr. Murphy has since grown Weston Primary Care to adopt the Concierge Boutique Medicine practice. This allows maintaining a small and personalized primary care practice. WPC has patients who travel from New Hampshire, Rhode Island and throughout Massachusetts to receive care with Dr. Murphy.
Dr. Saul Cohen and Dr. Timothy Murphy
Saul Cohen, M.D.
Dr. Saul Cohen earned his M.D. from Wayne State University School of Medicine in 1974. He completed his internship, residency and fellowship training in Internal Medicine and Cardiology at Boston Medical Center in 1978. He has been a Board Certified Diplomate, of the American Board of Internal Medicine since 1977.
Dr. Cohen opened his private practice in Internal Medicine, Cardiology, and Preventive Medicine at 60 State Street in Boston in 1980, being one of the first medical practices to be situated in the heart of Boston's Downtown Financial District. His goal was to make it easy to reach the population of patients who were at the highest risk of cardiovascular disease due to stress and lifestyle. By adhering to the best evidence from major academic studies, such as the monumental Framingham Heart Study, he guided, and tirelessly motivated, his patients toward risk factor modifications in cardiovascular disease, making a major impact on the health and wellness of his patients. His dedication and commitment to compassionate care for thousands of patients, earned him the Patient's Choice Award several years in a row, in addition to being cited by the Schwartz Center with a Compassionate Care Award recognition. Dr. Cohen is also cited in Castle Connolly Top Doctors: Boston.
Dr. Cohen has a thriving and loyal medical practice that has followed him to Weston Primary Care, where he and Dr. Tim Murphy are fully aligned in their commitment to providing the highest standards of excellence in personalized medical care.

Sisters and Brothers - This is an important week for our sisters at Heart and Soul, who are owed more than $135,000. This week we are taking this struggle to the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Convention in New Orleans. Some of our H&S members are there spreading the word.
You can help. Please post this press release on your website and FB page, and send to your contact lists. Spread the word. We are Union. We are NWU. Thanks.
Editors, Writers of Heart & Soul Still Unpaid
New York, NY- (June 19, 2012) - The National Writers Union has issued an alert to writers and editors who are considering working for Heart & Soul magazine (H&S).
The 15-year-old publication out of Washington, DC, still owes over $135,000 to writers and editors who have joined the union, and tens of thousands of dollars more to designers, photographers and stylists who have not yet joined.
Roughly a dozen editors and contributors to H&S had gone unpaid for more than six months as of January 2012. By May 2012, several freelancers were paid, five of them in full. No payments have been made since then, even though H&S failed to fulfill repeated and documented promises to compensate all owed in full.
As one former H&S editor, whom has yet to be paid, stated:
"A group of African-American businessmen and women, including George Curry and Clarence Brown, have exploited a group of mostly African-American women in order to publish a publication geared towards women, while ignoring pleas for payment from contributors who were undergoing treatment for breast cancer, were at risk for foreclosure on their homes, or were nursing a new baby."
To arrange an interview with some of the writers and editors who are party to this action, email email@example.com or call: 212.254.0279 .

Dianna Agron or Naya Rivera: Which Glee Star Topped AfterEllen's Hot 100 List?
AfterElton just named Darren Criss (Blaine) the hottest man of 2012, and now sister site AfterEllen has released their yearly rankings — and a Glee star has made it to the top of their list, too!
In fact, just like the AfterElton rankings, there's a lot more than just one Glee star on this year's list. Naya Rivera (Santana), Dianna Agron (Quinn), Heather Morris (Brittany) swept the top three spots, with Naya taking the #1 spot yet again.
On June 26, Naya tweeted, "A big thank you to afterellen.com for making me number 1 on the hot list two years in a row!"
The fan-voted poll, which collected over 170,000 votes for over 1,700 different actresses this year seeks to determine who AfterEllen readers deem the "the 100 hottest women on Earth."
Dianna comes in at #2, Heather is #3, with Lea Michele (Rachel) not too far behind at #11. Also on the list is Jane Lynch (Sue), who comes in at #89.
That makes a total of 5 Glee ladies on AfterEllen's Hot 100, as compared to 12 of the Glee men on AfterElton's list. All in all, we'd say the Glee stars killed it in this year's rankings!

The Kyoto Protocol commits the signatories from developed countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 5.2% from their 1990 level by the target period of 2008-2012. This has in turn resulted in the adoption of a series of regional and national reduction targets. In the European Union, for instance, the commitment is to an overall reduction of 8%. In order to help reach this target, the EU has also agreed a target to increase its proportion of renewable energy from 6% to 12% by 2010. At present, the 193 members of the UNFCCC are negotiating a new climate change agreement that should enable all countries to continue contributing to ambitious and fair emission reductions. Unfortunately the ambition to reach such an agreement in Copenhagen failed and governments will continue negotiating in 2010 and possibly beyond to reach a new fair, ambitous and legally binding deal. Such a deal will need to ensure industrialized countries reduce their emissions on average by at least 40% by 2020, as compared to 1990 emissions. They will further need to provide at least $US 140 billion a year to developing countries to enable them to adapt to climate change, to protect their forests and to achieve the energy revolution. Developing countries should reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 15 to 30% as compared to the projected growth of their emissions by 2020.
In recent years, in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as increase energy security, a growing number of countries have established targets for renewable energy. These are either expressed in terms of installed capacity or as a percentage of energy consumption. These targets have served as important catalysts for increasing the share of renewable energy throughout the world. A time period of just a few years is not long enough in the electricity sector, however, where the investment horizon can be up to 40 years. Renewable energy targets therefore need to have short, medium and long term steps and must be legally binding in order to be effective. They should also be supported by mechanisms such as feed-in tariffs for renewable electricity generation. In order for the proportion of renewable energy to increase significantly, targets must be set in accordance with the local potential for each technology (wind, solar, biomass etc) and be complemented by policies that develop the skills and manufacturing bases to deliver the agreed quantity of renewable energy.
Greenpeace and the renewables industry have a clear agenda for the policy changes that need to be made to encourage a shift to renewable sources. The main demands are:

What's On This Week
A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
Thursday, July 2, 2015
A daily updated summary of the week in TV.
From All Movie Guide: The daughter of a Connecticut journalist, Arline Judge became a Broadway chorus dancer in her teens. She was given a chance to exhibit her instinctive comic talents in George White's Scandals and as a member of Jimmy Durante's nightclub act. Judge was in films from 1931, usually in hard-boiled, wisecracking parts. She gained prominence not through her largely forgettable film output, but from her marital record: among her seven husbands were director Wesley Ruggles and former Brooklyn Dodgers owner Daniel Topping. When asked why she continued pursuing matrimony despite failure after failure, Judge replied "you gotta keep trying." Retiring from films after 1949, Arline Judge spent her last years taking day work in TV commercials. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

TechLahore buys an iPad
Those of you who have been following the blog for a while know that I have been tracking the iPad since many moons. I even promised I would go and buy it when it came out despite my abhorrence of Apple and its closed, uber controlling policies. Well, Steve Jobs is now several hundred dollars richer on my account and I may have enabled the Evil Empire, but at least I kept my promise.
Initially, there were several concerns I had when I saw the early pictures. I thought the black bezel around the screen would be too thick and would serve as a distraction. I also thought that the device might be too difficult to get a good grip on given that it appeared a little too smooth and shiny. That may have equated to ultra slippery. Finally, the lack of a camera had really put me off when I scanned the spec sheet. I was looking forward to being able to use a device with a decent screen size for Skype video calls.
As it turns out several of my concerns were unfounded while others were probably pretty close to the mark. But the most irritating things about the iPad end up being ones I neglected to pick up on from the spec sheet. They're the kinds of things that you really only realize once you've started using the device on a regular basis.
First off, the bezel is not a problem at all. You do need some space between the side of the frame and the screen and this black bezel provides just enough. It doesn't look visually odd either, as it did in the demos. The device is a bit scary to hold in your hands though because you realize it weighs just enough to probably self destruct if it fell to the floor. Therefore a carrying case/cover for the iPad is a must on this account alone. The device is thin and svelte, but given that practically you are adding the thickness of the cover too, it might as well have been thicker with more a sound rugged design. But thats just not Apple, is it?
The lack of the camera still bothers me a little but I see myself doing things other than Skype most of the time. In the end this is not a huge deal. Though I still think the next version of the device will probably come with a camera and we will all kick ourselves for buying too early. Such is the lot of the early adopter.
A big driver for me to purchase the iPad was the iBooks app and its potential as an ebook reader. It doesn't disappoint. I have now read over one hundred pages of PG Wodehouse novels and I can definitely get used to this… I didn't find the display hard on my eyes. While a hard glass and metal device is in no way as warm and friendly as a printer paperback, the advantages far outweigh the drawbacks in this case.
My two biggest issues with the iPad though, are the keyboard and the lack of Flash support. Flash is a huge deal and it is no less than a complete bummer that you surf the web on this otherwise perfect web appliance only to find thst significant parts of site functionality won't work because they've been implemented in Flash. No watching TV shows on project free tv or surf the channel, no Flash based app sites, big gaping white holes on many corporate webpages that use Flash for their front page animations and banners. In short, not good. Now of course Apple is on a crusade against Adobe Flash. They are trying to evict it from their ecosystem entirely. While they don't support it on the iPhone either, the iPad really makes you miss it; its screen size is so perfect for surfing that a Flash-less experience is just a pity. Oh well. I guess we'll have to wait a few years until the world adopts HTML 5, because Steve is already on record for saying that he will never allow Flash to make it to the iPad or iPhone.
The other big issue is the keyboard. Frankly, it is pretty miserable. I've gotten used to the iPhone keyboard, but that is basically one hand typing. With the iPad you would think there's enough room to use both your hands and type fast like you would on a Netbook or Laptop, but there just isn't any good way of using both your hands to type on this virtual keyboard. You end up making way too many mistakes and the lack of tactile feedback when you're touch typing, is just weird. There are also a lot of obvious keyboard features missing, like the Pg-Up, Pg-Down, Home and End buttons. Most of this post was typed on the iPad but I eventually got frustrated and moved to a PC to finish it. It takes a good 20 seconds to scroll all the way up or down in a text box with no scroll bar. The only way you can do this on the iPad is to keep your finger pressed, wait for the magnifying glass (cut/paste tool) to appear, and then slide your thumb or finger above the text box while the scrolling occurs. Painful and SUPER SLOW. Wouldn't have killed them to just put a Home key on the KB to get through situations like these in a jiffy.
The elephant in the room used to be the lack of multitasking, but there's no point talking much about that any more because the iPhone OS 4 update which is already in beta now supports multitasking. What remains to be seen is whether it is as smooth and battery friendly as Apple have claimed it to be. More on that later.
So for now, I guess the conclusion is that the iPad is by no means an information creation device. Typing on it is pretty hard and without a Bluetooth keyboard, you're just not going to get much done other than a few quick emails. And why would you buy a Bluetooth keyboard? If you're going to sit down with a big old keyboard, might as well whip out the Laptop.
There are also a couple of other shortcomings like Flash and the lack of a camera. On the whole, as an information consumption device – a web/document browser and book reader – the iPad scores fairly high. I am by no means ecstatic about it, but I don't regret purchasing it either. I probably would have if I splurged on the 3G/64G model. I think $500 is about the most you should pay for the utility an iPad is going to give you. Skip the more expensive models for sure.
Software stuff that I think will be remedied soon involves multitasking and some key, missing apps. I am keen to see how iPhone OS 4 performs on the iPad with multitasking, and would also like to see versions of popular products such as Skype and Dropbox make it to the iPad. The iPhone versions work ok, but it's a shame to waste the extra real estate when you have it. As I play around further with the iPad, I'll try to keep posting updates about my experiences. Till later!

I've had several people contact me asking if I had new templates for ConfigMgr 2012 for my popular USMT to UNC posts I've done in the past. I've cleaned up the process quite a bit over the years and here is what I've been using with clients lately. In this blog post I will explain how I configure my Task Sequences to capture to a network location and I will provide links for the templates you can download.
There are many times where capturing/restoring USMT to a network share fits into the workflow better than using the built in State Migration Point (SMP). The SMP is encrypted, which is a good thing, but can cause issues for swapping data between devices. You are also required to create computer associations before you do a capture, which some times people forget to do. So an easy solution is to simply capture USMT to a network share instead. This process can be configured to dynamically move to different servers for different locations without much difficulty but I won't be discussing that in this post.
Set Variables
The first thing I do in the Task Sequence is create a Set Variables group where we can set a few properties to be used in the Task Sequence.
The first variable we set is a ServerA property. This is the name if the server you want to capture the data up to. This step is conditioned to only run if the ServerA value is not already defined. If you are using MDT integration, you can define the ServerA value dynamically using the Database. This is commonly used to account for different geographical locations.
The second step we use to define the MigData variable. We take the ServerA value and create the path with the built-in OSDComputerName variable available to the Task Sequence.
The third step in the Set Variables section we use to set the OSDStateStorePath variable which is what USMT will actually use. We use this value so we can use the built-in USMT steps in the Task Sequence.
Capture User State
The USMT Capture section is made up of 3 steps.
The first step creates the directory in the targeted OSDStateStorePath location. This ensures the folder for the computer name exists. If the folder doesn't exist, we can't dump the user state data to it. This step is conditioned to continue on error, if the folder already exists, then the step will error out.
The second step is optional, but is an example of how you would pass additional parameters to the built-in Capture User State step. In the templates, I'm doing a /uel:90, which excludes all accounts older than 90 days. We do this using the variable OSDMigrateAdditionalCaptureOptions.
The third and final step in the USMT capture group is the default Capture User State step. You can customize which XML's you want to use and the step will automatically process the values we have set previously.
Restore User State
One of the big advantages of using a process like this to capture user state is that we are dumping the data to a network share. If you are using the templates I've provided or created a similar process using the steps in this blog post, then User State will automatically be restored whenever a matching folder name is found. No association is required, if we can find data in the OSDStateStorePath then we will restore it.
The USMT Restore process also consists of 3 steps.
The first step simply sets our OSDStateStorePath variable again.
The second step configured additional restore options. In the templates/example, I've used a /ue:%computername%\* which excludes all local accounts from being restored.
The third and final step again simply uses the built in Restore User Step. This will use the OSDStateStorePath variable we've set and the OSDMigrateAdditionalRestoreOptions values together with however you have chosen to configure the Restore User State Step.
The first template I've created is for a stock ConfigMgr Task Sequence without MDT Integration. This has all the steps I've discussed configured for you, with explanations of what each step is doing.
These templates were created on a ConfigMgr 2012 SP1 lab environment, I don't believe you can import these into a RTM site without issues.
If you are not going to use the templates I've provided, then you will need to configure your Task Sequence using the logic I discussed in this blog post and you will need to disable/remove all existing Request/Release/Move State Store steps in the Task Sequence. Those are used to work with the SMP and we won't be needing those.
The second template is configured for a MDT integrated Task Sequence.

Miami, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Count Udonis Haslem among the players who will be returning to the Miami Heat next season.
Haslem, Miami's all-time leader in rebounds, will be back for a 12th season with the Heat after the team announced it has re-signed the veteran forward on Friday.
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed, though the South Florida Sun- Sentinel reported the deal to be for $5.6 million over two years.
Haslem, along with Miami's "Big Three" of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, opted out of his previous contract following the Heat's loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the 2014 NBA Finals. James was the only member of the four not to re-sign with the team, with the four-time league MVP instead bolting for a second tour with his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers.
The 34-year-old Haslem has spent his entire NBA career with the Heat, originally joining the franchise as an undrafted free agent in 2003. The Miami native has been a part of all three of the Heat's NBA champion teams and ranks second only to Wade in club history in games played (715).
Haslem played in just 46 regular-season games in 2013-14, averaging 3.8 points and 3.8 rebounds, but started six of Miami's 16 postseason contests -- all of which the Heat won.
"He's a team player, an encompassing all-purpose player, that would play just about any position or role in order to win," Heat president Pat Riley said of Haslem. "It's been such a privilege and honor to have him with the organization and I'm so happy that he decided to come back."
A team captain in each of the past seven seasons, Haslem has averaged 8.6 points and 7.5 rebounds over 715 career regular-season games.

Fall 2013 Fashion Trends
Blue denim jeans and white tee are an all time fashion trend in youth. What is fashion? The very common answer to the question is that fashion is something which is set by fashion designers and it reflects in our dresses. But, fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, everywhere. Fashion is the way we live our life, the way of expressing oneself.

I dont pretend to be an anime expert and feel free to stone me if I try to come off as one. Im just a fan with very strong opinions.
Aaah the joy of watching anime while nibbling on chocolate Pocky or hotcake-flavored Pretz. But happiness is a fleeting thing especially when the show turns out to be a dud. But since Im a cheapskate, I watch the show to the bitter end because I already spent money to rent the sucker in the first place. And believe me, I have seen a lot of anime I wouldnt inflict on the people I detest.
My taste in anime is pretty eclectic. It ranges from shows targeted for girls like Boys Over Flowers where love triangles and three-hanky moments abound to anime geared for boys like Naruto where the hero runs around fighting injustice with his latest technique.
I also love shows that are bizarre, artsy, complex or feature quirky characters. So these are the types of anime I will be reviewing. I admit, I do have a guilty pleasure list which includes anime that require only two brain cells to watch.
Sorry folks but you will seldom, if ever, read any reviews of mecha or harem anime here.
I dont like anime about giant robots since Ive seen too many of these in my childhood to last me a lifetime.
I also turn up my nose at what fans call harem anime which feature one guy living/working/interacting with a bunch of girls. Why do each of the girls represent a cliche character like the brainless beauty with large bosoms? And why are the female characters often put into situations where they end up inadvertently showing their underwear? One word. Fanservice. And since I am not a teenaged boy with raging hormones, such shows do not interest me. (Sniffs haughtily then hides from angry harem anime fans.)
Rejoice fellow "Beach" fans. Bleach anime finally comes to American shores. I saw a promo on Cartoon Network that says the show will debut there Sept. 9. I was so overcome, I needed a moment to compose myself. (Just kidding.) Oh okay, I squealed like a little girl. I'm just hoping the English dub doesn't suck.
Im assuming that like me, many U.S. fans have been following the adventures of Ichigo Kurosaki via the manga or via fan-translated copies of episodes that aired in Japan. Yes, I know fansubs are controversial and this is not the blog entry where I will yak about that. Lets just say for now that I dont download fansubs. I rent them from a store which angers some fans since fansubs are supposed to be free. But when a show I like gets licensed, I rent or buy the official DVDs.
Anyway, back to Bleach. Ichigo is a high school student who can see spirits and lives with his widowed father and two younger sisters in a nondescript town. His life changes when he meets Rukia Kuchiki, a shinigami from Soul Society. I won't tell you anything more of the story. Let's just say Ichigo ends up helping Rukia somehow and he gets to carry a sword.
It has sword fights, interesting characters and a nice soundtrack. I hope they keep the original beginning and ending songs which they didn't with "Naruto". "Bleach" rocks! Ahem. I mean, I recommend it a lot.

Readers share special Christmas memories | POLL | PHOTOS
Editor's note: Staff writer Garret Mathews invited Tri-State residents recently to share their favorite Christmas memories with Courier & Press readers. In the following story, several area residents explain why Christmas is special to them.
STAFF WRITER / (812) 464-7527 email@example.com
Because of the range of emotions in recalling events — both joyous and sad — from holiday seasons past, Christmas is more to some people than a religious holiday.In my collection, there was a very special angel named Lydia, after my niece of the same name."
For Sherry Morphew of Boonville, Ind., it was the gift of a special angel.
"It was Christmas of 1999. Fire had destroyed my family's home in November, and we lost everything. I was an avid collector of Seraphim Classic Angels and had many pieces that were retired.
"In my collection, there was a very special angel named Lydia, after my niece of the same name.
"Fire marred the delicate features of my special angel, but I kept the charred remains in hopes that I could restore her. After many attempts to clean her, I gave up and put her in a box. As a retired piece, I didn't think I could ever be able to replace her.
"In December, the doctor discovered a growth on one of my ovaries. After two bouts with Hodgkin's disease a few years before, the doctor said he felt it would be in my best interest to have the ovary removed. This meant that I would have to undergo another surgery and face the possibility of another form of cancer. After 58 radiation treatments and six months of chemo to treat the Hodgkin's, I dreaded the thought of having to go through anything else.
"I made plans to meet my parents at Cracker Barrel after meeting with the doctor, and we all shed some tears. As I was wiping my eyes, I felt a hand on my shoulder. To my surprise, it was Santa Claus. He gave me a Christmas package and winked.
"The box contained Lydia, my special angel. My mother, Mary, got it for me. I thought of how truly blessed I was. It was true. I had lost my home, my belongings and many things I cherished. I did not know what the future held. However, I had a loving family, and they were the greatest treasure of all."
Sherry Morphew said she enjoys good health. There has been no return of the Hodgkin's disease.
Here are more Christmas recollections
"Growing up, my parents never once even entertained the thought of getting a real Christmas tree. We always had an artificial one. My wife, however, grew up always having a real tree. About 10 years ago after much prodding, I reluctantly agreed to buy a real tree.
"Having never erected one, I was having considerable difficulty securing the tree to its base. I was trying to hold a branch out of the way while tightening the screws when the branch slipped and smacked me right in the eye.
"The pain was unbearable. A trip to the emergency room revealed three deep scratches on my cornea. I spent the holidays wearing an eye patch and in much discomfort. I couldn't see well out of that eye for about six months.
Needless to say, that was my first and last real Christmas tree, and my wife hasn't dared ask for one since."
— Brian Jordan
"It was Dec. 24 at 4:30 p.m. in 1966 when my husband, Larry, and I were married. Four years later on that date, we brought our youngest daughter, Melissa, home from the hospital. She had been born three days earlier."
— Clara Markman
"Ten years ago this Christmas, my little sister (Anita Ritterskamp) took her life. It happened at their home about 5:30 p.m. Her husband, Bill, was taking a shower and heard the gunshot. It was two hours before she died, and they let us be with her at the hospital. She had two miscarriages and was depressed. She left a simple note that said, 'Life is too stressful. I want to go to heaven and be with God.'
"Christmas has never been the same since then. I remember vividly the raw pain I felt that year, but I have chosen a path of healing rather than guilt and bitterness. Now I can speak her name without falling apart, but I will always miss her in my life.
"I have a tender place in my heart for those who will have an empty chair at their table at Christmas. Each year at this time, I search out someone to help in her honor. It's difficult feeling guilty for being sad at such a happy time, but death doesn't take holidays."
— Lisa Corbett
"I was in boot camp at Great Lakes, and they let us go home for Christmas. I had been going with the prettiest girl in Grayville, Ill., High School before I joined the Navy. We decided to get married while I was home on leave.
"Christmas in 1955 fell on a Sunday, and at our church that morning, the preacher made the announcement that there would be a wedding after the service. No one knew we were going to get married, so only one aunt brought a camera, and it didn't work. I put in 20 years in the Navy and Shirley and I are still married to this day. It will be our 54th anniversary on Christmas."
— Mac McComas
"Christmas of 1945 is one that will live in my heart forever. I was 13 years old and living with an aunt and uncle in Clearwater, Fla., since my family had all passed away except for two brothers who had been away serving our country on opposite sides of the world — one in the South Pacific and the other in Europe.
"By Christmas that year, the war was over, and I so wanted to be reconnected with the scattered remnants of my family. My older brother came back to Clearwater in the summer, but my younger brother was still away.
"Two days before Christmas, I received a phone call. It was my younger brother, and when he told me he would be home soon and we would get to spend Christmas together, my heart just overflowed with joy. Years have passed and both brothers have gone to their final rewards, but Christmas 1945 is engraved in my memory forever."
— Jean Witte
"The milkman delivered milk and other dairy products right to our door in Indianapolis. Deliveries were made even on Christmas Day. Due to the shortage of gasoline during World War II, the wagon was horse-drawn.
"It was a good thing the horse knew where it was going because the deliveryman had sampled several kinds of potent potables along his route and still had a long way to go after he left our house.
"I imagined he had to sleep off his tipsiness when he arrived at his home."
— Sally Hart
"I have two very special stories of Christmas past.
"Just before Thanksgiving in 1945, my little sister died. She would have been 8 on Dec. 8. We had Thanksgiving, her birthday and Christmas that year all in pain. Money was scarce, and there were four kids. Somehow Mama bought me a new billfold and a little ring. Probably $3 would cover the cost. In her hurt, pain and sorrow, she still wanted us kids to have Christmas.
"Then in 1954, I was a new bride and we moved 800 miles from my Kentucky home. I was young and in love, and this was an adventure. But I remembered Mama's tears as we left.
"After a couple of months, I became homesick. We had no money or charge cards, but finally for Christmas we decided to make the trip.
"The joy on Mama's face when she saw me was Christmas for both of us. I remember to this day how her face lit up and the goodies she prepared for us. That was the year I grew up.
"Next year I was a Mama myself. I had a wonderful teacher. She's been gone 21 years, but I still remember those presents."
— Wanda Cage
"My mom was 44 years old, and my father was 43 in 1969. They had 10 children. I was the baby at age 4. But, lo and behold, on Christmas Day a set of twins was born to our family — a boy named David and a girl, Leah.
"Even though they stole my place as the baby of my family, I love them both very much.
"This year, they turn 40."
— Lisa Brown

Kentucky Nursing Home Fined by Federal Government for Resident Neglect and Fraud
Entities have been defrauding the U.S. federal government since the Civil War in 1861. During the war, it was discovered that businessmen were selling defective weapons, sick horses and spoiled food to the government for the soldiers in both the North and the South. To combat these issues, the False Claims Act was enacted in 1863. After several revisions, this act still remains in effect today and is used in cases ranging from businesses fraudulently trying to collect money from the government to manufacturers selling bad products because they were not tested according to government standards.
Health care issues are a frequent cause of cases filed under the False Claims Act, and a case against a Kentucky nursing home that recently settled is a good example of this. Villaspring Health Care and Rehabilitation is a nursing home located in Erlanger, Kentucky. Like most nursing homes, it receives payment for many of the services it supposedly provides from the government through Medicare and Medicaid. However, in 2011, the federal government filed a claim stating that the nursing home was fraudulently collecting money from it.
According to the complaint, the nursing home in question should not have been submitting their bills to Medicare and Medicaid because the care they were providing their nursing home residents was substandard. How substandard? Five people allegedly died at the facility between 2004 and 2008 and more were injured because of the nursing home's negligence and insufficient care. The case, which was recently settled, is the first of its kind filed against a Kentucky nursing home under the False Claims Act. Advocates for improving care at nursing homes hope that this case and other future ones like it will improve the care at nursing homes and lessen the amount of abuse and neglect that occurs in Kentucky.

Free eBook Feature: The Accidental Bachelor
Free Kindle eBook:
Author: Tim Holsten
Fiction, Humor
Price: $0.00 (May 9 and 10)
Book Description: The Accidental Bachelor
Finn McCallister has serious doubts about his career. The receptionist in his coastal California real estate office wears her wetsuit to work, and his eccentric boss lectures in Pidgin: Braddah Finn, tell dem kook clients to pound sand! As the last of his friends to find a customer for his surname, hungover from one singles-bar karaoke of "Heat of the Moment" too many, Finn senses his personal life, too, is circling the drain.Get the Free eBook here:
In an attempt to outrun his insecurities, Finn trains for a marathon and literally collides with doe-eyed veterinarian Kim, who awakens primal feelings dormant since Phoebe Cates graced the halls of Ridgemont High. As Finn gains momentum from this new relationship, he attempts to rehabilitate his toxic best friend, Carmichael, whose marriage has flatlined. Still playing point guard from their high school basketball glory days, Carmichael plans a guys' weekend in the one city diametrically opposed to rehabilitation—Las Vegas.
An epic desert battle of Finn's morals versus Carmichael's impulses results. In combat, Finn slips back into a Members Only jacket, reunites with a (now clothing-optional) prom date, clubs with a Saved by the Bell alum, and stages the ultimate 80s-tribute concert. In the heat of the moment, in a last-stand effort to save a friend, Finn risks destroying his own future.

The rotator cuff is a group of four tendons and their related
muscles that cover the shoulder joint. The rotator cuff helps keep the shoulder
stable and allows the arm to rotate or move up, down, in, and out.
Tendons are tough, ropelike fibers that connect muscles to bones.
The rotator cuff muscles are called the supraspinatus, infraspinatus,
subscapularis, and teres minor. Tendons connect the rotator cuff muscles, which
start at the shoulder blade (scapula), to the upper arm bone (humerus).

The ability to control the assembly of matter down to molecular level remains one of the grand challenges of science. Nature achieves complex architectures with advanced functions by self-assembly of simple organic building blocks. For example, enzymes display exquisite levels of structural and functional control by precise positioning of functional groups inside well-defined cavities organized by multiple supramolecular interactions. Research at ORNL targets functional self-assembled structures by combining the advantage of self-assembly with the power of computational design. This unique approach stands in direct contrast to the typical trial-and-error method still widely employed in molecular and materials synthesis. Specifically, de novo computer-aided design methods identify molecular building blocks that are programmed to self-assemble into complex architectures with predetermined functionalities. Examples of targeted functional structures are organic ligands for selective ion separations, cage receptors for environmental cleanup, or covalent organic frameworks for carbon dioxide capture. Research within the Chemical Science Division has used computationally-designed ligands with > 99.99% selectivity for capturing cesium ions over other cations. This technology is being deployed to help remediate caustic solutions stored in waste tanks at DOE's Savannah River Site.

A tough but winnable fight for massenzio. I am still holding out hope that he goes and trains at another gym for this fight. I took a look at his mma gym website and he is the head trainer and only one other instructor is listed and he is a wrestler as well.
He has potential and i will be rooting for him but he is limiting himself with his current training environment.

Anton Chekhov: Early Short Stories, 1883-1888
Modern Library, 1999 - Fiction - 642 pages
This collection, selected by Shelby Foote, presents seventy of Chekhov's early short stories, written between 1883 and 1888, in celebrated translations by Constance Garnett. One of the most memorable is "The Death of a Government Clerk, " a glorious parody in which a fawning official is undone by an ill-timed sneeze. "On the Road, " the history of an educated man's search for convictions, is one of Chekhov's finest dramatic stories and the source of his first full-length play, Ivanov. And in "The Steppe, " which marked a turning point in Chekhov's career, a boy's picaresque journey across the Russian heartland evokes the soul of Russia itself.

Former Super Eagles goalkeeper trainer, Coach Joe Erico has called for fairness and understanding for national team coach, Stephen Keshi whose list of 32 for the pre-2013 Afcon camp has been attracting various reactions from football circles, home and abroad.
Erico said, "as far as I am concerned, Keshi's list is commendable. He is in charge and I can't fault his judgment because he knows what is good for him. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt"
The former Nigeria international said it was too early to criticise the coach's choice because the final squad had not been selected yet.
"They are just going for camping and most importantly, they will be playing a friendly match against Catalonia to test the team. The players and the coaches know it will be a big test for them," Erico reasoned.
On what he thinks the final squad would look like given the calibre of players invited by the coach, Erico said, "obviously, we will have a good team," and to the players he charged, "whoever is called upon should always give his best. It is a national call and, it is special to play for one's country."

Into the great wide open....online dating
I'm an easy going guy who likes to enjoy life. I'm a divorced father of 2 great kids (6 year old girl and 3 year old boy). I really enjoy doing things with them, they are quite fascinating. I'm new to this whole online dating thing. I'm pretty simple and just enjoy spending time with someone who enjoys life. I enjoy talking and getting to know people, if its someone i enjoy being around, i can get lost in conversation with them and time will fly by. I enjoy outdoor activities, whether its long walks, going to the park, or an athletic event, you can find me there. A lot of times this has to do with my kids activities! I love running and run 3-4 times a week. I usually run early in the morning when its nice and quiet. I enjoy the peacefulness that it brings me and allows me to clear my mind. I produce running events for a living and spend time traveling across mainly the midwest producing the events. I enjoy the positive impact that i help provide in peoples lives. I love hanging out with friends, but can just as easy have a nice quiet evening in. I like to be myself, which can be a little goofy at times. I enjoy trying new things and traveling to new places. I love seafood, especially sushi! I'm looking for someone to enjoy and experience life with.
Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports

Middle of the Road
I travel a bit for work, so my hot spots sort of revolve around that. Madison, WI is one of my favorite places, Lake Geneva in Wisconsin, I've really become fond of Wisconsin. Chicago in the summer. Any park or outdoor place with my kids.
Country Music, but any type of music really, skiing, seafood (sushi), tv shows that make me laugh or think, romanitc comedies
I enjoy being outdoors, doing pretty much anything. Snow skiing is great, I only wish I could get out more. Running and long walks are great and mind clearing. Hanging out with friends. I love football and college basketball. Butler basketball.

Think global, and acting is always local
You've contributed to rebuilding projects in New Orleans. You've helped bring broadband to schools. You've extended broadband to rural areas desperate for a means to grow. It's about education, about opportunity. There you go – you already get the concept behind Connect the World [1].
Broadband is a key element in building thriving, functioning community. Meanwhile, a tiny percentage of people in the developing world have access to broadband. Connect the World is a new organization founded by a group of people from the cable industry who figured that there's nobody more qualified to bring broadband connectivity to developing areas than people in the broadband industry.
When it formulated its mission, Connect the World started right at the ground floor – metaphorically and literally. Two absolute requisites for broadband are suitable shelter and power, explained Connect the World executive director Jim Anderson. You might know Anderson from his recent stint at The Cable Center, or from Mentis Broadband.
Connect the World is already beginning to get some support of various kinds, but it needs more.
Connect the World and Habitat for Humanity have begun, or are setting up, projects in:
- Macedonia
- Chile
- Tajikistan
- Malawi
- Pascagoula, Miss.
- The Ukraine
The local situations are all different, but one of the aims of the organization is to help support areas hit by natural disasters; northern Chile, for example, was rocked by earthquakes, and Pascagoula was devastated by Hurricane Katrina, which also inundated New Orleans.
And once homes are built, a power source is secured and broadband is made available, Connect the World plans to stick around. In true teach-a-man-to-fish fashion, the organization expects to help the local populace to operate and maintain their infrastructure, and to demonstrate how to use their new connectivity for education, health and improving commercial prospects, Anderson explained.
Connect the World is already beginning to get some support of various kinds from companies like Chile's dominant cable company VTR (owned by Liberty Global), Alpha Technologies and Aurora Networks. But it needs more.
It needs money.
It needs equipment.
It needs expertise.
"If someone can lend us an employee, part time or for a couple of months, that's as valuable as any donation," Anderson said.
