It's time to give your toes some air, while raising awareness for children's health and education. Tomorrow is One Day Without Shoes, an annual event hosted by TOMS that calls attention to the plight of millions of children whose future is at risk because they walk barefoot or have only thin sandals.
Here are just some of the problems these children face:
TOMS Shoes, one of ChildFund's partners, started One Day Without Shoes in 2007 to encourage people to take off their shoes for a day and experience a bit of what is a daily challenge for millions around the world. We encourage all ChildFund supporters to give this a try — and explain to the people you meet tomorrow why you're walking through your town, your school or your office without shoes on.
Also, we'd love to see your photos — tag @TOMS and @ChildFund on Facebook or Twitter whenever you share your One Day Without Shoes pictures, and use #withoutshoes. Hope to see your feet on Tuesday!

Social media can be a mixed blessing. It's easier to stay in touch with friends and relatives today, but status posts, tweets and pictures also can add distraction to our lives. The other day, though, we experienced a pure blessing on ChildFund's Facebook page.
A few weeks ago, Nicole Duciaume, regional sponsorship manager for the Americas, visited some of ChildFund Mexico's programs. She met Guadalupe (whose nickname is Lupita), who works with one of our local partner organizations, often helping children write letters to their sponsors. Lupita was a sponsored child herself in Oaxaca, and she spoke fondly about her sponsor family from Oklahoma, the Talberts. More than 20 years after their sponsorship began, Lupita has kept the letters and photos from the family. (Click here to see a video of Lupita telling her story.)
As we do with many stories on the blog, we promoted it on Facebook. Usually we get a few dozen likes, a comment or two and perhaps a question about how to sponsor. The day that Lupita's blog post went up, though, we received an unexpected message in the comments from Janice Talbert, who spotted the photo of her former sponsored child!
"This is so AMAZING," Janice wrote. "I am so THRILLED to see LUPITA…she was OUR sponsored child. Of course, I had no doubt she would give back to her community. She wrote lovely letters to us for many years and then when we met her, she was warm, vivacious, bubbly and enthusiastic."
Both Janice and Lupita still remember favorite letters they exchanged. Lupita's was a letter she received on her 15th birthday, a cultural milestone for Mexican girls called the Quinceañera, marking the girl's entrance into womanhood. Her family didn't have money for a fancy dress or a big party, but the Talberts wrote that in their eyes she was still important.
Janice recalls the concerned letters that Lupita and another Mexican child they sponsored, Juan, wrote after Sept. 11, 2001, asking if her family was safe after the terrorists' attacks. Janice says that her family, too, has kept every letter and drawing that Lupita and Juan made for them.
I had a chance to talk to Janice about her family's 2005 trip to Oaxaca, when she visited Lupita and Juan.
At that point, Lupita was in high school, and the Talberts had sponsored her since she was 4 years old. They had been hoping to make the trip to see her and Juan for quite a while, and the timing worked out well. ChildFund Mexico's national office helped arrange the visit, and Janice recalls riding in a white van for hours. Lupita's town was quite a ways from Oaxaca's capital, but the landscape was beautiful.
Near Lupita's home was a canyon circled by jacaranda trees that were blooming during their visit. Lupita's family warmly welcomed the Talberts, and they had a great visit to Lupita's school, church and neighborhood. "It was amazing to meet her," Janice recalls. "We'd get a picture once a year, and she was always serious in the pictures, but she smiled a lot in person."
Lupita remembers the visit fondly: "My family and I were very excited about the visit, and we planned the food that we were going to bring them. When the date of the visit arrived, I made a sign. Then we showed them the local partner's facilities and some activities we have there. What is most important is that I had the joy of meeting them."
The Talberts also formed a close bond with Juan's family. Janice recalls the tough conditions in which his family lived – a home with a dirt floor, and a single source of electricity coming through a long, orange extension cord. Janice and her family took Juan to see the nearby Mayan ruins; he had never had the chance to visit this historical site.
The families were generous hosts and very proud of their heritage. "At that point, my Spanish was really bad," Janice says with a laugh. "The people from Mexico are so warm and helpful. When you butcher their language, they still compliment you."
Today, since Lupita and Juan have completed ChildFund's programs, Janice's family sponsors two younger children from Oaxaca. She hopes that one day she'll hear from Juan as well, whom we learned is still living in Mexico and working at an optician's office. He still plays soccer in his spare time, a love that has carried on from childhood.
For Janice, the excitement of learning that both of her formerly sponsored children are doing well and leading happy lives has been an unexpected blessing.

We're pleased to announce that ChildFund Alliance (the global coalition formed by ChildFund International and 11 affiliates) is a finalist in the MY World People's Choice Award, sponsored by the United Nations MY World Global Survey. The survey asks people to identify changes that would make the world a better place.
Because this is a people's choice prize, we need votes! Please take a moment to vote for ChildFund Alliance, and then invite your Facebook friends to do the same. Voting closes at midnight EDT on Sept. 17, and the winner will be announced at an event in New York on Sept. 25.
The ChildFund Alliance created a child-friendly version of the survey and conducted more than 50 focus-group interviews with children, providing data to the U.N. To promote children's engagement in the survey, the Alliance also organized a conference with more than 50 countries represented.
The MY World Awards recognize the work of organizations that have helped spread the word about the survey, which allows people to express their views about global priorities for the post-2015 development agenda. More than 850,000 people in 194 countries have participated, and the number is expected to top 1 million by the end of the month.
Thanks for voting!
Last week, to build awareness around World Water Day, ChildFund asked its social media supporters to take to Twitter and inform their followers on the issues of water insecurity for children around the world. Today, we're excited to announce the winners of our World Water Day tweet-out and share the five most inspirational tweets. The top tweeter and four runners-up will receive water-related Gifts of Love & Hope sent in their honor.
Top Tweet:
Hockey Chick @ChicksDigHockey
Water is life. Clean water impacts health, happiness and intellect. @ChildFund can show you how to save lives. #Water4Children #GiftOfLife
@ChicksDigHockey will have a 1,000 liter water tank delivered in their honor to a family in Mexico (valued at $190).
Confetti ❤ @confettilove_
No matter if the glass is 1/2 empty or full… it needs to be clean! #worldwaterday #Water4Children
WASHadvocates @WASHadvocates
#Children just like our kids, nieces, nephews, grandchildren do not have clean #water. Together we can help #Water4Children #WorldWaterDay
STARS Foundation @STARSFdn
It seems (clean) water is more than just the source of life; it's the source of health, education and dignity too. #waterday #Water4Children
Aksel Kibar @TechCharts
While we drink bottled water, some children around the world don't even have access to tap water. Let's give #Water4Children
We will deliver an apple tree seedling and a watering can to five children in Ethiopia in honor of @confettilove_, @WASHadvocates, @STARSFdn, and @TechCharts.
Thank you to all those who participated! We appreciate your help in informing others on the critical necessity of clean water for children.

It's World Malaria Day. But instead of launching into a litany of statistics, I'll just share one hard fact: a child is dying this very minute—every minute—from this disease. And that just shouldn't be.
Malaria is preventable. Malaria is treatable.
"In the past 10 years, increased investment in malaria prevention and control has saved more than a million lives," says Dr. Margaret Chan, director-general of the World Health Organization. "This is a tremendous achievement. But we are still far from achieving universal access to life-saving malaria interventions."
So you may be asking, "What can I do as just one person?"
Buy an insecticide-treated mosquito net from ChildFund's Gifts of Love & Hope for a child who doesn't have one. And then ask your friends on blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and YouTube to buy one, too. You may inspire a movement. At the very least, you'll raise awareness.
A mosquito net costs $11. And you could be helping a child like 5-year-old Francis from Uganda.
Or, taking a worry off the shoulders of a mother like Margaret, who lives in Zambia.
Just for today, World Malaria Day, I invite you to take a swing at the statistics. Use your social media clout to knock back malaria one child at a time.

Our February Facebook promotion has concluded with seven winners, drawn randomly from the group of entrants who correctly identified all seven countries in our photo album.
Congratulations to ChildFund Facebook fans:
In honor of the seven winners, we've sent an educational gift (a school uniform and/or school supplies) to a child in each of the seven countries featured in the photo album.
You'll find photos of the children on ChildFund's Facebook page. Their stories are touching.
Anmol, which in Hindi means precious, is enrolled in St. Anthony's Orphanage Project in New Delhi, India. She received a school supply kit.
Brenda attends a child-friendly school in the remote and rural Honduran community of Sabana Ronda. Her grade point average last year was 94 percent. She received a new uniform and shoes along with some school supplies, notebooks and materials for arts and crafts.
Keli, who participates in ChildFund's U.S. programs in Oklahoma, received much-needed school supplies and arts and crafts items.
Thilan, enrolled in Lanka Taiwan Children's Program in Sri Lanka, was the recipient of a new school uniform.
Elise, whose family was forced to flee armed conflict and relocate to Ziguinchor, Senegal, now has educational supplies her parents couldn't afford.
Irene, who participates in Kenya's Kerwa Child and Family program, loves her new school uniform. She attends in PCEA Ruthigiti Academy.
Jenipher, whose parents are subsistence farmers in Zambia, has never owned proper school shoes or a uniform until now. She comes from a family of four children, and the family was overjoyed to receive the gift for Jenipher.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the Facebook promotion and for telling others about ChildFund's work with children in 31 countries.

Your tweets can help send a girl to school!
Starting today, March 5, and continuing through International Women's Day on March 8 (5 p.m. EST), ChildFund is inviting its Twitter followers to tweet out on critical issues related to girls and women.
In developing countries, child marriage derails as many as 10 million girls a year from achieving their potential as women.
Lack of access to quality health care is another obstacle for girls and women who live in poverty.
And, in many countries, education for girls is a low priority or not available at all.
At ChildFund, we believe the healthy development of girls is critical to breaking the cycle of poverty. When girls have a secure childhood, they grow up to be strong women who lead positive change in their communities.
To mark International Women's Day, we're asking ChildFund's Twitter fans to help build awareness around issues critical to women by tweeting and retweeting posts.
Please use the hashtag #girls2women in each Twitter post. If we reach 200 tweets and retweets in four days, we'll honor our Twitter followers by providing a one-year educational scholarship to a girl in one of ChildFund's projects.
Invite your friends to get involved by retweeting your posts and creating their own woman- and girl-focused tweets.
Need help with tweet ideas?
How about answering the question: What does International Women's Day mean to you?
Or, send out some of these suggested tweets:
Happy tweeting, and remember to use the #girls2women hashtag. We can't wait to see what you come up with!

The chance to travel across the world to meet a sponsored child doesn't happen all that often for ChildFund supporters. Most faithfully write letters and exchange photos with children and their families for years, but few have the chance to meet face to face.
David Levis of Citrus Heights, Calif., now has that opportunity.
David is the grand prize winner of the Experience of a Lifetime promotion, that ran on ChildFund's Facebook site this summer. He and his wife, Stacie, sponsor 13 children in ChildFund programs. Five of the children live in Uganda, which is where David, a California school teacher, plans to travel.
"ChildFund has become part of our family, even to the extent that our three young children have become involved in writing letters and saving change to go toward buying cows for some of our families," David says. "This has changed their perspectives on the world."
David's trip with ChildFund to Uganda will take place next April over spring break. And it's an experience he looks forward to bringing home to his family and students. "Seeing the five children we sponsor in Uganda will help me better understand the complexities faced by their families," he says. "I plan to share this firsthand information to help teach my students about the importance of global citizenship, and how they too can look for ways to help people around the world."

We love sharing children's photos, videos and stories on ChildFund's social media sites, but we know there's nothing like seeing the real thing.
Current sponsors and study tour participants who visit ChildFund projects around the globe return home with an expanded understanding of how poverty affects children and how one person truly can make a positive impact in a child's life.
Inspired by their travels, they tell friends and colleagues about the experience and the work ChildFund is doing. And that helps bring new sponsors for children who are waiting.
That's why we're excited to launch a special promotion that begins on ChildFund's Facebook site today and runs through June 30. One lucky winner will travel off the beaten path to see our programs in action. The four-day escorted tour will provide a firsthand view of how ChildFund is helping children around the world.
Wouldn't you like to be the fan who wins the "Experience of a Lifetime" — a visit to see your sponsored child? Or, if you win and are not a sponsor, you'll have a chance to tour a ChildFund program in the Americas, Africa or Asia.
Entry is easy: "Like" ChildFund on Facebook and complete a simple entry pass. You'll also need 10 friends to "like" ChildFund on Facebook and support your quest by nominating you to win. Once you get the support of 10 friends, you're officially entered. Every friend in addition to your first 10 earns you another entry in our random drawing. So the more friends you sign up, the greater your chances to make the finals! (Must be 18 and a U.S. resident of the lower 48 states to enter.)
You have until June 30 to complete your entry. Five finalists will be randomly selected. Each finalist will then prepare a short statement as to why he or she should win the trip. We'll then post those statements on Facebook, and one winner will be decided by popular vote.
Be sure to visit ChildFund's Facebook page to enter the promotion. You could win the Experience of a Lifetime and make a difference in a child's life!
Posters and billboards of ChildFund are popping up around the country. And we need your help in locating them.
The posters are showing up in malls and airports (one was spotted at LAX) and the billboards are currently in the Richmond, Va., area.
When you spot one, be sure to snap a photo of it. Even better, have someone take your picture standing beside the poster and upload it to our Facebook wall or Tweet us (@ChildFund) the photo link. Be among the first 100 people to send in a photo and get a ChildFund wristband.
Be sure to include your name and location. We'll feature the "Where's ChildFund?" photos on our social media sites to generate more discussion about the critical needs of children globally.
It's all part of a public service campaign now under way to raise awareness of ChildFund and the work we do to change the lives of children living in poverty.
Will you help us make the world better for children? It can start with a simple photo to increase awareness of the work we do every day.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, PSG
Can you imagine Zlatan in America? It'd be like something out of a film..
They probably wouldn't quite understand him but they would surely love his sensational technique and ability to score stunning goals.
Plus, who knows what kind of trouble he could get himself into when not on the pitch - wouldn't everyone like to see that?

I get hundreds of feedback emails every day and do my absolute best to read them all and respond where I can. Today, Aaron, a circle community member from Santa Barbara emailed me and I wanted to share it (with his permission) as I thought it really exemplified what we are trying to do at Circle.
"I love the idea and I think it could be killer and totally revolutionize the city's communities and bringing people together… Make it happen!… This app could be a gamechanger." — Aaron B, Santa Barbara
We truly believe that Circle can help bring people together and will do our best to make it happen. As always, email us with any thoughts: email@example.com.
Hey Circle Community! We are constantly listening to our community and reading your feedback emails and have been learning a ton about how to keep improving the application.
We really appreciate all your support so far in strengthening your local community and hope you will keep providing us awesome use cases in the app. We also very much appreciate the nice reviews and are so excited to have a 4.6/5 rating on iOS and 4.4/5 on Android. Thank You!
Over the last few months, we have been constantly experimenting with ways to share the application with friends and build your local network. We know that the app is much more useful when your local network is bigger, just like LinkedIn or Facebook. It can be a tough balance to strike to allow people to share the app with their social network but making sure it isn't too much. We do want you to be able to share the app with your friends, but not bombard them with invites so after experimentation we have settled on sending each person a maximum of only 3 total invites on facebook and 2 invites through SMS. If a user receives more than that, we won't allow them to go through.
This seems like a good balance to us but as always we would absolutely love to hear your thoughts and feedback and you can get in touch with us any time at firstname.lastname@example.com. Just yesterday, a member emailed me to tell me that he loved how it felt like Circle is like the old community boards that are in small town cafe's and we absolutely love hearing that.
Thanks for all the support.
From VentureBeat: Circle is one of the few social, local, mobile apps that is actually growing.
This app, which shows people what is happening in their immediate vicinity, has surpassed 10 million users, with over 1 million users joining every month. It is currently in 1,765 cities across the country.
Today Circle unveiled new features that cofounder and CEO Evan Reas said offer value to users that existing social networks like Twitter, Facebook,Foursquare, and Nextdoor don't.
"I got fascinated by the idea of connecting people in the same location," Reas said in an interview. "Circle is like a local Twitter for Main Street. I am from Wisconsin where you can just ask random strangers for help, but you can't do that in most cities. Circle brings that small town feel to everywhere."
Circle is a location-based social network where you can view activity feeds of local activity. Members can post specific questions, ask for help, or use Circle to distribute information.
Reas gave the examples of someone with a flat tire who inquired through Circle if anyone could help. He said if you did that on Facebook or Twitter, it might not be useful because people aren't necessarily nearby. On Circle, that person quickly had multiple people offering assistance.

'True Detective' Season 2 starring Seth Rogen and Jimmy Kimmel is amazingAdd to Favorites | Jimmy Kimmel Live
Following the season finale of "True Detective," many were wondering how Season 2 will take shape. While creator Nic Pizzolatto offered a tease of next season's subjects, there's been no hint as to who will be starring in the show.
People have been speculating and nominating themselves to play the leads in Season 2 for weeks, and now Jimmy Kimmel and Seth Rogen have gotten in on the fun. Kimmel recorded a "Jimmy Kimmel Live" episode at SXSW and presented his lucky audience members with a tease of what an Austin-infused "True Detective" Season 2 will look like. Spoiler alert: It's pretty awesome.

We never stop improving and that's why we're successful. See how we're improving facilities, programs, patient safety and patient satisfaction.
We're the most recognized community hospital in the state and it's our people who make us great. See hospital and staff awards.
Winchester Hospital was the first community hospital in the state to achieve Magnet designation, recognition for nursing excellence. Learn why.
Our tremendous staff gives back to our community by coordinating free health screenings, educational programs, and food drives. Learn more.
A leading indicator of our success is the feedback we get from our patients. See what they're saying about their experiences.
It's normal to feel down after a
heart attack
, but symptoms of
can compound your recovery. Studies support that people who had heart attacks and were diagnosed with depression
fared significantly worse than those without signs of depression. Other studies have tracked heart attack patients for several months after they left the hospital. Those studies found that the patients with diagnosable depression suffered more heart complications, including death.
How does this affect you? It translates to better care if you have a heart attack. Depression and how to treat it are incorporated into the heart attack recovery process.
In the United States, heart disease is the number one killer of men and women. To help determine who may need more aggressive treatment after a heart attack, doctors assess each patient's risk factors. Most known risk factors center around complications of the heart itself or predisposing traits, like
high cholesterol
high blood pressure
. Interest in the role of depression and mental health, however, opens up another avenue in the fight against heart disease and its complications. In light of findings of depression as a risk factor, many doctors now recommend that all heart attack patients be screened for depression, a move supported by the American Heart Association and American Psychiatric Association.
To understand why depression in heart attack patients may lead to worse complications, doctors look for common biologic patterns that connect the two. The current prevailing theory focuses on the balance of the actions of the nervous system. Part of the nervous system, called the autonomic nervous system, constantly regulates our internal organs without our awareness.
For example, we don't need to tell our lungs to breathe or our hearts to beat. The autonomic nervous system does these things on its own. But if the autonomic nervous system is off-balance, many normal functions of the body are affected. Scientists note that patients with depression have distinctive changes in the balance of their autonomic nervous systems. Some believe these changes may underlie the connection between depression and heart disease.
If there is a biologic connection between depression and heart disease in people with weakened hearts, can depression also be a risk factor for heart disease in people with normal hearts? According to a medical review, this does indeed seem to be the case.
For some heart attack patients, symptoms of depression may resolve without treatment. For others, whose symptoms persist, data sheds light on effective treatment. A large medical study showed that the antidepressant
sertraline causes no harm to the heart and can reduce symptoms of depression in people with heart disease.
Patients that had access to treatment for depression had better recovery outcomes than those that did not. Patients with access had improved depressive symptoms, reduced numbers of second heart attacks, and less complications.
In sum, any patient who has suffered a heart attack should discuss the risks of depression with their doctor. Likewise, patients with depression and no evidence of heart disease should be aware of all heart disease risk factors and should evaluate their individual risks with their doctors.

Quotes from Senator Hatfield
As God involved himself in mankind, we must involve ourselves in society. We cannot brush aside as inconsequential the needs of men, whether they be poverty, equal rights before the law, or hunger.
Unless we have a well-educated people, we're vulnerable on our national security.
The heart of one's service in the political order must be molded by ideals, principles and values that express how we, in the words of the Constitution, are "To form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." Political service must flow out of such a commitment.
People power; that's what elected me and kept me focused throughout political life. I couldn't have done it without the people of Oregon, nor would I have wanted to. There wouldn't have been any point.
I chose to be the people's governor, and I didn't wait for people to come to me. I went to them.
We all deserve a full life, not a life cut short by hunger and homelessness. I can't think of a more pernicious violence we face today on our body politic, nor a more just cause we should all work to correct.
Legislative culture is nothing if not a reflection of American culture itself. The Senate shifts and modifies its machinations, but it does so only in concert with the subtle and not-so-subtle purling of American values.
I tried to prevent merging of my ego and any issue, so I wouldn't become the issue and rupture human relations. This included even my most fervent issues — war, civil rights, assisting the poor, or educating the vulnerable. I never wanted to rupture friendships. Today's adversary was tomorrow's ally, and I always looked for common ground with colleagues. And that common ground, those bipartisan coalitions, are the heart of healthy, progressive politics … Even though often with difficulty, I learned that our opponents even — and perhaps most especially — are human, deserving care and support as much as we.
If anyone ever feels "Oh well, my opinion doesn't count," I would beg them to think again. As opinions are articulated, held firm and mobilized, they wield tremendous power. And if they are right, I like to believe eventually they will win.
It's my earnest hope we will learn, and we will turn to more constructive means of problem solving than blatant bloodshed. Anyone who knows anything about human nature knows we're moving toward building alliances, working things out, listening to colleagues, even if they're opponents. Battles don't create anything except humiliation, anger and vengefulness in our hearts. That's true at the business level, in the home, and with our dearest friends. How much truer it is amongst nations — particularly in the global web of interconnectedness we enjoy today.
I … had the incredible privilege of meeting Mother Teresa, an experience which was to revive me like no other … This visit with Mother Teresa, the woman, the saint, provided me with one of the greatest highlights of my life. And our relationship endured.
Politics is fundamentally an exercise in human relations. And it's an exercise that takes skill, strength, patience and truckloads of hard, constant work. My closest ally in the Senate today might turn around tomorrow and oppose me on an issue I'd stake my life on. So I wanted to build bridges and friendships every place I could, maintain respect with my colleagues, and nurture relationships even in the toughest times.
I pray for the integrity, justice, and courage to vote the correct vote, not the political vote.

Washington Capitals vs. Pittsburgh Penguins Pick: 2011 Winter Classic Pick
- Updated: December 31, 2010
Washington Capitals
(22-12-5, 49 Points)
Pittsburgh Penguins
(25-11-3, 53 Points)
In what has become an annual tradition, NHL betting action goes outside of the rink and heads into the open air on New Year's Day in one of the best spectacles the sport has to offer. This year though, the stakes are amplified, as two of the league's most bitter rivals with the biggest stars will be on display at Heinz Field, as the Pittsburgh Penguins collide with the Washington Capitals.
The Capitals enter this one trying to erase the bitter taste in their mouths from a 3-2 shootout loss at home against the Pens just a few days before Christmas. Washington enters this game in second place in the Southeast Division, though it is level on points with the Tampa Bay Lightning. When you're talking about hockey in our nation's capitol, the discussion has to start with the great Alexander Ovechkin, though. Ovie has been down just a bit of late, but he has his scoring touch back, lighting the lamp once in each of his last two games. The Russian leader of this squad has 14 goals and a team high 28 assists to pace the squad with 42 points. He wouldn't be anywhere without Nicklas Backstrom and Alexander Semin, his line mates, though. These two have combined for 29 goals and 42 assists. These three make up one of the most lethal lines in hockey, and the Penguins are certainly going to have to make sure that they don't get caught up with these guys in bad shifts too often.
Then there are the superstars of the Penguins, who are every bit as lethal, if not more so than those of the Caps. Sidney Crosby might as well already be handed the Hart Trophy right now, as he is clearly the MVP in the league this year. Sid the Kid has 32 goals to lead the league by a country mile, and his 33 assists is amongst the best that the NHL has to offer as well. Obviously, at 65 points, no one is catching Crosby this year as long as he stays healthy for the majority of the campaign. His 25 straight games with a point finally came to a close in a 2-1 loss to the New York Islanders in Pittsburgh's last game, which had to be disheartening coming into the biggest game of the season at Heinz Field. Still, the Penguins have the best record in hockey, and they are well on their way to a high seed in the playoffs once again. They have a very realistic chance of getting back the Stanley Cup after missing out on the Finals last year in a disappointing postseason.
The weather conditions in this one aren't going to be ideal, which might make it all the more fun to watch on TV. This is the hottest ticket in town, and that probably includes the fact that the Pittsburgh Steelers are about to have a home playoff game in all likelihood in the NFL playoffs. Still, Washington is really going to want a measure of revenge for that loss down in DC two weeks ago, and nothing would do that like an upset to spoil the party in the Steel City.

Movie Info
It seems that even American History must sometimes succumb to Hollywood "sequel mania." The 4-hour TV movie George Washington: The Forging of a Nation was a follow-up to the successful 1984 miniseries George Washington (see entry 82308). Barry Bostwick is back as Washington, as is Patty Duke as Martha. Whereas the first film covered the years 1743 through 1783, The Forging of the Nation concerns itself with the events of 1788 through 1797. The film begins with the ratification of the Constitution, and concludes with Washington ending his second term as the first President of the United States. The drama intensifies as Washington tries to handle the often diametrically opposed viewpoints of such firebrands as Thomas Jefferson (Jeffrey Jones), Alexander Hamilton (Richard Bekins) and John Adams (Paul Collins). Filmed on location in the New England locales where the story originally took place, George Washington: The Forging of a Nation debuted on September 21 and 22, 1986. … More

Kim Kardashian says she isn't a singer and has no interest in recording a duet with Kanye West.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star said not even her beau could convince her to return to the recording studio after her debut single Turn It Up, which failed to set the charts on fire early last year.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at the MTV Music Awards in Frankfurt, Germany, the 32-year-old said: "No, I'd never (make another single), that was just for fun, and for charity."
Asked whether the Mercy rapper might get her to collaborate with him on a hip-hop track in the future, Kardashian said: "No, as good as I think he is, it's just not my thing."
Just having fun
Kardashian - who has been dating West since April - previously revealed he was the one who encouraged her to record her first song.
She said: "OK, I'm not a singer, this isn't what I do. I have too much other stuff going on.
"(I thought) 'Is this really something safe for me to do?' Kanye was actually one of the people who really talked me into doing it and telling me, like, 'Hey, look, what do you guys do for fun? You guys go shopping, you go to the movies.
"Kind of step into our world for a second and have fun, and we go to the studio.' I'm just doing it for fun."
She also denied any rumours that she had ambitions to record an album, saying: "There's no album in the works or anything -- just one song we did for the show, and a video Hype Williams directed.
Half of the proceeds we're giving away to a cancer foundation, because The-Dream's and one of my parents passed away from cancer. It's just all having fun - with a good cause."
West, 35, failed to pick up any awards at the MTV awards show despite being nominated for Best Hip-Hop, Best Live, and the Best Male Artist.

Mother's Day is right around the corner, and what better way to show someone how you feel about them than with the Alima Pure Goddess Collection?
This year's featured goddesses are Isis and Artemis. Isis was the Egyptian goddess of motherhood and magic. (Really, what's the difference?) She was the ideal mother and wife. Greek goddess Artemis was the patron of women in childbirth and the guardian of young children and wild animals. Isis has a medium beige matte base, but with a generous helping of golden sparkle added. Artemis is a deep, matte eggplant with a brown undertone.
The collection comes in our adorable Alima Pure travel bag that houses four beautiful signature Alima Pure eye brushes as well as the Goddess shadow duo. The brushes are the #33 (Angle Liner/Brow), the #36 (Crease), #37 (All-Over Blending) and #39 (Large Shadow). The brushes are tucked into brush slots on one side of the bag, and the shadows are located in a zippered pouch on the opposite side. The two sides come together with our signature bird as the zipper pull.
The collection, with a value of $83 if purchased separately, is just $47, for a limited time only.
How to wear it:
With the #37 or #39 brush, apply Isis from lashes to brow. With the #36 brush, swirl a touch of Artemis in the outer corner and crease. Then line with Artemis and a damp #33 brush. In keeping with the goddess theme, wing your liner up and out just a bit at the other corner.
It has become something of an Alima Pure tradition--over the past several years, we have offered a set of nine deluxe samples as our gift to our customers with orders over $65 (before shipping and after any discounts) during the month of December. This year is no exception, and we have selected some real beautys from Alima's 2009-2010 Limited Edition collections!
Agate – rich copper-brown sparkle from the Beachcomber collection
Mantra – soft blue-green sparked with gold from the Yoga collection
Pink Sapphire – sparkling light pink from the Holiday Jewel Boxes
Selene – pearly golden pink from the Goddess collection

DeMarre Carroll often comes back to Columbia to workout.
May 25, 2010
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Former Missouri Tiger DeMarre Carroll has been no stranger to the Columbia community since he was drafted in the first round of the NBA by the Memphis Grizzlies in 2009. The nephew of Head Coach Mike Anderson, Carroll often returns to Mizzou to watch his former teammates play and will hold a summer camp June 7-11 at the Midwest Sports Academy.
MUTigers.com caught up with Carroll during a workout inside Mizzou Arena as he continues working towards what could be a playoff run for his Grizzlies in 2011.
Q: Talk about your rookie season. What did you learn and what will you work on heading into 2011?
DC: My rookie year, a lot of ups and downs, but it was a great experience. The main things I am working on now are becoming a better on-ball defender, improving my ability to handle the ball on the perimeter and knocking down the NBA three with more consistency. The off-season is when you make those improvements, those strides, so that's why I'm in here right now.
Q: Name one thing that you learned at Mizzou that translated well into the NBA game?
DC: Being aggressive. If you are passive or go at anything other than full speed, it's just not going to work in the NBA. I learned how to play at that next speed and with aggression and passion here at Mizzou. It's helped me make the transition.
Q: I see you in here shooting with the NBA ball. How is it different from the Nike ball we use during home games?
It's different. (The NBA ball) is slicker and it's heavier. I think I could shoot that Nike ball from half court now. The basketball definitely makes you work on your skill level. It won't bounce like the college ball. You really have to be solid with the ball or you'll turn it over, so that was an adjustment at first too.
Q: Memphis is one of the young, improving teams in the NBA. What will get the Grizzlies over the hump next year and into the playoffs?
DC: It's about attention to detail. We had a lot of games that we could have won that we ended up losing. We started off losing our first eight games last season and with better attention to detail maybe we'll start next year off with eight straight wins. It's a small margin for error in the NBA. Everyone is talented and you have to take care of the little things to be successful.
Q: We saw you on an NBA Cares commercial this season… I think you were planting a tree. Is that tree still alive?
DC: Haha, I don't know. I hope it's still alive. I think it's still alive. But it was a program I'm proud to be a part of. We need to give back. There are so many great people out there that aren't as fortunate. NBA Cares gets us involved in the community so we can make an impact on our cities.
Q: Speaking of giving back, you are holding a camp in the coming weeks. What led you to have an event here in Columbia?
DC: I want to make this a tradition. We have a lot of guys that go on professionally and I hope this is just the first step in getting those guys back here to Columbia. Maybe it grows when some of the current guys move on professionally and they will come back. This is just the first step.
Q: Missouri is really on the upswing nationally. Do you take some pride knowing that you played a big part in this program's growth?
DC: I'm real proud of what's being accomplished here. I'm proud of everything going on at Mizzou, not just basketball. When I got here there weren't a lot of positive feelings towards the program, but that's changed. It's not just a football school anymore. These guys today are changing that. I'm just proud to have been a part of it.
Q: Current and former Tigers really love coming back here. What makes Columbia so special to you guys?
DC: It's the people. You come back and people come up and say hello and ask about you as a person. The people of Columbia played a big role in shaping me and they helped us as a team by supporting this program. It's a great place to be… that's why I come back here so often.
Q: Missouri has a large class of incoming players entering the program. What words of wisdom do you have for that group as they start hitting campus here in the next few weeks?
DC: Listen to your leaders. Listen to Coach Anderson and his staff and the veterans, like Justin (Safford). Guys that were freshmen when I was here… like Kimmie (English), Marcus (Denmon), Laurence (Bowers) and Steve (Moore). Those guys have seen what it takes to make the NCAA Tournament. They know what else needs to be done to get further in the tournament. This class came in ranked pretty high, but once you step on campus, that ranking doesn't mean much if you don't listen to your leaders and be willing to grow.

Irides: Master of Blocks
Console: Dreamcast
Release date: 12/12/09
It never surprises me that one of the best consoles to come out in the last couple of generations would still, after all these years, have such a huge homebrew support from dedicated programmers. This newest puzzle game for the Sega Dreamcast has proven to be no exception. Developed by Mad Peet, Irides: Master of Blocks will look very familiar to those enjoy the music puzzle block genre and developing a homebrew on one of the most addictive puzzle formulas to be released in the past decade is a great mold to emulate and as the old cliché states: 'imitation is the highest form of flattery.'
In the single player mode: you control a 4×4 block with up to two colors and in the traditional vein of the Lumines game style were you must arrange the blocks to form 4×4 blocks of the same color to make them disappear. Irides: Master of Blocks implements a slight deviation that makes me coming back for more. Instead of just stacking the blocks before the rhythm line returns, you must stack the blocks before the timer expires, but with each 4×4 block that is formed, the timer will reset, giving you a more time to stack more blocks which will earn you more bonus points. The faster you stack colored blocks, the more points you will rack up and once the timer reaches zero, the blocks will disappear leaving you ready to do it again and once the blocks reach the top line, it's Game Over. This simple little hook has me so addicted to the game I can't put the controller down, but that's just the single player mode. It's even more fun with friends.
Irides: Master of Blocks has two different multiplayer modes, from the standard player vs. player competitive modes to the unorthodox cooperative mode. With the competitive head to head modes, your goal is the rack up as many combos to earn attack points which can unleash your assault which drops dummy blocks onto your competitors field. You can play this mode with up to 4 players, who are also trying to increase their score and survive, all the while earning attacks to unleash dummy blocks onto the opponent's field forcing mulitplayer Irides to be insanely hectic, which makes victory that much sweeter.
The cooperative mode is a lot more laid back. Two players must work together to achieve the goal by working together, both are limited to either side of the playfield and you can get into some trouble if one of the player becomes a little overzealous and hog the field which will force the other player to over stack their blocks and causing both to lose the round. Surprisingly, I found this mode to be the most enjoyable out of the whole game. Having to work together to achieve the same goal tends to keep the assholery to a minimum, but like most co-op games, your gaming experiences will mostly be depended on your partner.
One of the most surprising aspects of Irides is the 15 track music which features remixes of Hello Gravity's music. Poor music can ruin even the best puzzlers, but with the Irides soundtrack, I found the music to never be annoying or irritating and it is soothing enough to get me into that synesthesic state where I'm running on autopilot which helped me become completely engrossed in the gameplay only to snap out of it and noticed that an hour had passed. Hell, even a music snob like Tenno enjoys the music, for all that's worth.
Overall, I was extremely please with Irides: Master of Blocks. Chaining together combos and trying to beat my own score is fun but where this game shines is the co-op modes interweaves awesome electronica soundtrack with equally matching visuals to confusingly please the senses with friends. My only complaint had nothing to do with the game but with my annoying experience with the Dreamcast directional pad. The raised d-pad made the game feel a bit squirrely when the pace picked up and sadly I no longer have a Dreamcast joystick to overcome this annoyance, so I was stuck with my factory controller.
Another minor quibble is the price. The standard edition will cost you $21.90 which I think is a very fair price for this unique Dreamcast homebrew but the limited edition (limited to only 144 copies) comes with a different packaging, mini poster signed by the designer, a numbered medallion and an expanded instruction manual for $35.90. I feel the $14 price difference is a little high for just a variant cover, metal coin and poster. Also, it's a bit lame to skimp on the instruction manual for the standard edition. The $14 "limited edition tax" isn't a deal breaker but I feel may stray away curious gamers who aren't willing to part with their money on "just a homebrew." Whichever version you decide, Irides: Master of Blocks is a must buy for any hardcore game who wants to add a fun competitive puzzler to their Dreamcast collection.
Pick up your copy at the Goatstore now.
- Highly additive gameplay with enough twist to the Lumines formula to keep you coming back.
- Great electronica soundtrack
- 2 different Co-Op modes
- Region free and supports VGA
- Damn son, it's a new Dreamcast game that's fucking good.
- It's on the Dreamcast so you're stuck with the poor d-pad (unless you have a better 3rd party controller)

From the north of England, Eccles cakes are not cakes at all, but sweet fruit-encrusted pastry disks. When I first made them, I was taught how to make the puff pastry to go with it, and if you really are planning to win a few cake competitions, you could do worse. But for those of us that have a life, use butter puff pastry instead.
And by butter puff pastry, I do mean that: It's made with 100% butter and gives a lighter, crispier and altogether creamy flavour to the finished cake. Any other type of commercially prepared frozen pastry is not so generous.
The traditional recipe calls for currants and mixed peel but I had neither. Instead I used raisins and some of these cumquats and the result was terrific. In other words, adapt it to suit your pantry supplies, but do try to inject a hint of citrus. If you have nothing else, add some lemon and orange zest to the fruit mixture.
Makes 18 – 20
- 50g butter
- 1 cup currants (or use raisins or sultanas)
- 2 tbsp mixed peel (or 4 roughly chopped preserved cumquats)
- ¾ cup (140g) tightly packed soft brown sugar
- 1 scant tsp of mixed spice (or a combination of equal parts cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves and ground coriander)
- 3 sheets frozen butter puff pastry, thawed but still cool to the touch
- 1 egg white
- 2 tbsp white sugar
Place the butter, fruit, brown sugar and spices in a saucepan and heat over a low heat. Dissolve the butter and keep stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved. Cook for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 200°C (fan forced). Line two baking sheets with baking paper and set aside.
Cut 10cm circles from the sheets of pastry (you should get six or seven from each sheet).
Place one tablespoon of the fruit mixture in the centre of each circle. Moisten the edges of the pastry with a little water. Bring up the edges of the pastry circle and press them together in the centre to make a little pouch, then turn the cakes over so the sealed edge is on the bottom.
Use a rolling pin to gently roll the cakes thinly so the fruit starts to show through the pastry. Use a sharp knife to slash three straight lines in the centre of each cake. Place on a baking tray.
Continue until all the cakes are finished. Brush with lightly beaten egg white.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp.
Remove the trays from the oven and while they are still very hot, sprinkle the extra sugar over the cakes. Cool on a cake rack then store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Environmental Standards for Uranium Fuel Cycle Facilities (40 CFR 190)
EPA and Nuclear Power Operations
EPA's mission is to protect human health and the environment. The Agency sets generally applicable environmental standards that limit the amount of radioactivity that can be released into the environment. EPA does not oversee the daily operations of nuclear power plants or nuclear fuel facilities. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has regulatory responsibility for licensing and oversight of nuclear power plants and other commercial facilities that use radioactive materials. NRC implements EPA standards at applicable facilities.
Get e-mail updates when this information changes.
EPA establishes certain generally applicable environmental standards to protect human health and the environment from radioactive materials. Issued in 1977, "Environmental Radiation Protection Standards for Nuclear Power Operations" (40 CFR 190) limit the radiation releases and doses to the public from the normal operations of nuclear power plants and other uranium fuel cycle facilities—the facilities involved in the manufacture and use of uranium fuel for generating electrical power.

On this page:
Review of the Standards
The standards at 40 CFR 190 are protective of human health and the environment, but advancements in radiation protection science and emerging technologies have led EPA to consider whether to revise them. The Agency collected public comment and information to support of its review of the standards in an Advance Notice of Public Rulemaking (ANPR). EPA did not propose any changes to the current standards in the ANPR. EPA is now evaluating the comments and information received. After completing this evaluation, EPA may propose revised radiation protection standards or leave the existing ones in place. Any proposed revisions to the standards would be published in the "Federal Register" in a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.

The wife of President, Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Mrs. Helen Oritsejafor, weekend, advocated more roles for the women in politics.
Ortsejafor's wife, who is also the Chairman, Eagle Flight Micro Finance Bank, spoke during the Nigerian Association of Women Entrepreneurs' 20th anniversary in Abuja.
Being one of the three awardees for women empowerment programme, Mrs Oritsejafor said that despite the enormous endowment of women, they had been denied for a long time the opportunity to contribute their own quota to the economic and political development of the country.
She added that there would not be a limit to the success of any country who gave women the opportunity to express themselves.
"We have equal right to make our impact in the upliftment and growth of this nation and if women are given opportunity I can tell you there is no place, there is no limit to the growth of what this country can become,"she said.
"I am one of the women who have the strongest belief in the 35 per cent affirmative programme for the Nigerian women. I think women in Nigeria, just as in the entire African continent, have been deprived the opportunity to contribute immensely to the growth of the nation."
In her address, the President of the National Association of Women Entrepreneurs (NAWE), Chief Adaeze Ozongwu, advocated for women all over the country to come under one umbrella to develop the country.
She urged all women to come under a platform where they can speak with a louder and bigger voice, as a group for a better Nigeria.

What might Los Angeles have looked like if several key projects were actually built?
That's a question a new exhibit at the Architecture and Design Museum, Los Angeles, seeks to answer. Starting July 28, the museum will feature vignettes about ambitious projects that were proposed but never completed.
There will be at least a little focus on Los Angeles International Airport. Apparently the original design by architects Pereira and Luckman called for a central terminal enclosed almost entirely by glass. It's pictured above.
Other interesting "never built" projects include a causeway in the sea off of Santa Monica, a downtown civic center designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and even a city monorail.
More information can be found on the A + D Museum's website.
