ST. MARYS - The Elk County Community Recycling Center, located in the Stackpole Complex in St. Marys, officially kicked off their polyethylene terephthalate (PET) thermoform plastic recycling program on Wednesday, holding an open house to educate residents about PET thermoforms as well as other materials that are able to be recycled through the facility.
According to Community Recycling/Solid Waste Coordinator Bekki Titchner, PET thermoform plastic is something that "just about everybody runs into."
RIDGWAY - A small amount of petroleum from a known vehicle created a thin sheen over a portion of the roads in downtown Ridgway late Wednesday afternoon before being contained.
All firefighting units from Ridgway responded to the call at 4:11 p.m., and shortly thereafter the Elk County hazardous materials [hazmat] team responded at 4:30 p.m.
For the second time in 39 years, a federal Farm Bill governing the nation's farm and food aid policy is set to expire at the end of September.
According to Eric Bridges, executive director of the North Central Pennsylvania Regional Planning and Development Commission [NCPRPDC], Congress has decided to postpone negotiations over how to reauthorize those programs until after the November elections.
ST. MARYS ŌĆō Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services, Inc. is working to bring more attention to the problem of prescription drug abuse during ŌĆ£Wake Up to Medicine Abuse Week,ŌĆØ running from Sept. 23 to Sept. 29.
Jennifer Young, prevention supervisor with Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services, Inc., in Elk County, said the goal of this initiative is to increase awareness of prescription and over-the-counter drug abuse and misuse, which has risen dramatically in the last few years.
RIDGWAY - A babysitter convicted of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in his care was sentenced in Elk County Court Monday to no less than 10 years and no more than 20 years in a state penitentiary.
Corey Allen Heatherdale, 26, of Ridgway, was convicted by a jury in a one-day trial on July 20, 2012, in the Elk County Courthouse.
The Elk County Solid Waste Authority embarked on its annual tour of Veolia Greentree Landfill in Fox Twp. on Tuesday. Landfill manager Don Henrichs led the tour and gave the group a rundown of current operations and recent changes to the facility.
The landfill currently takes in about 1 million tons a year; it takes approximately 2.5 years to fill a cell, or an area in which waste is deposited and is later filled in. Cells range from six to 10 acres and the current cell being filled is approximately nine acres. About nine acres were capped this year.
ST. MARYS ŌĆō A rise in the occurrence of cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's disease, dementia and autism has sparked the Elkland Search and Rescue [ESR] team to kick off an initiative designed to better locate individuals who have a tendency to wander.
ESR is taking a proactive stance by asking family members of those affected to also be proactive by filling out a form, "Wanderers Information Sheet," before an incident occurs to act as a tool to help locate the person.
RIDGWAY - A St. Marys man convicted of 189 counts of burglary and related charges stemming from a multitude of burglaries committed at camps throughout Elk, McKean, and Cameron counties was sentenced Monday in Elk County Court to serve no less than 11 years, 3 months and no more than 30 years in state prison.
According to court documents filed on March 12, 2012, St. Marys Country Club President James R. Slay filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and the club closed on Aug. 31.
The voluntary petition was filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Western District of Pennsylvania, and listed Slay as the debtor. According to the petition, the club is a tax-exempt organization under the Internal Revenue Code and has both estimated assets and liabilities between $500,000 and $1 million.
Area business owner and entrepreneur Peggy Caruso wants to help others achieve their own business and personal goals, and has recently hung out her shingle as a life coach to assist area residents in forging that path.
Caruso said the idea of a life coach may be foreign in this neck of the woods, but was quick to explain that it is not therapy and many people who have already reached major milestones, such as top executives, use it to target what they want to do and where they want to go as they continue on their journey through life.

Free NCAA Basketball Pick: Indiana @ Wisconsin
- Updated: January 26, 2012
Top 25 teams from the Big Ten meet in college basketball betting action on Thursday night at the Kohl Center when the Wisconsin Badgers take on the Indiana Hoosiers.
The Hoosiers have proven a heck of a lot this year. They are definitely going to be a team that is in the NCAA Tournament barring an epic collapse down the stretch, and they are certainly on the up and up for as long as Cody Zeller, the hero of this squad, is still in Bloomington. The frosh has come on and proven that he can play with some of the best and brightest in the country, and he is the reason that this team is once again considered a prominent team in the Big Ten after years of dismay. The Hoosiers have played well at home against some great teams, knocking off the likes of the Kentucky Wildcats, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Michigan Wolverines. Even the 19 point win against the Penn State Nittany Lions over the weekend was notable considering the fact that it was on the heels of a three game skid. However, what the Hoosiers haven't proven yet is that they can win games on the road. They have gone 1-3 SU and ATS on the road in conference this year, and every time that the team is faced with adversity against a comparable team or a team that is better than it is, it has folded. This is the same type of situation against the Badgers, who are historically a team that is impossible to beat in this building.

The Badgers have won four in a row and are 3-1 ATS in that stretch. Their wins on the road at the Purdue Boilermakers and Illinois Fighting Illini really changed the course of the season, and it went from being a year that could have ended with a lot of disappointment to one in which could turn out to be fantastic. Wisconsin did lose two in a row at home in conference play this year, surprisingly to the likes of the Iowa Hawkeyes and Michigan Wolverines (the latter of which came by 18 points!). However, if the Badgers are going to keep this momentum rolling, they are going to have to get back to their ways at home and just physically dominate as they normally do. Jared Berggren had been on a bad slump until going into Champaign against the Illini. There, he scored 18 points and really helped lead the way for that victory. The other key scorer for this team, Jordan Taylor, is averaging 14.1 points per game, and he is well on his way to All-Big Ten honors this season. Taylor has scored at least a dozen points in 11 straight games, making up for a very sluggish start to the season.
The Final Word: The Badgers are just the better team in this game, and the Hoosiers don't have the grit or the tenacity to play with them in this building. Wisconsin is too hot to be topped. There is a reason that it is 7-1 ATS in the last eight in this series.
Indiana Hoosiers @ Wisconsin Badgers Pick: Wisconsin -7

Full Steam Ahead!
Parenting, the great adventure... when you're up in the middle of the night with a crying baby it seems like it's going pretty slow, but then suddenly it's like being aboard a steam train headed.... well, somewhere... FAST, and you just gotta hang on and make the best of it trusting that in the end, you'll get where you need to be...well, part of this adventure has been a long one, and hard, very hard.
My son Luke is very intelligent, he has a phenomenal memory and is sweet, kind and thoughtful. He is detail oriented and loves to learn, spending most of his days creating amazing car designs and maps, and reading the rest of the time. He is a great snuggler and loves to wrestle. Yet there was an outward shell of distraction, frustration, and intense feelings, and it just felt like something wasn't right. I wanted so much for my child to reach his potential and have meaningful relationships with others, and be happy, after all, that's what the adventure is all about right? I just didn't anticipate all this...
He started with speech therapy at 3 1/2 then had social skills classes, then occupational therapy, then trips to several psychologists, then visits to an ENT, a Functional vision exam, a hearing test, and many trips to Seattle for iLS therapy. Then more trips to psychologists, and then the Amen Clinic where he was finally diagnosed with ADHD Ring of Fire (that's the latest guess). Then we went to a Sleep clinic for a sleep study, then a naturopath for food allergy testing now we're about to start Neurofeedback to see if we can't alleviate remaining symptoms and perhaps get rid of some of the supplements he takes several times a day. The great news is that I just found an amazing pediatrician who seems like a Godsend.
When you've been to that many doctors, filled out that much paperwork and spent way too many hours researching different disorders, therapies, and tests, you begin to appreciate the complexity of the human body (especially the brain) and how far we are from knowing how everything works and fits together. I feel like I have a little more compassion for the mother of that kid who's misbehaving or throwing a fit because sometimes they're doing everything they can and there's more going on there than the rest of us can see (sometimes the kid needs some discipline but it's not the cure all I thought it once was!).
He has come so far, and I am amazed with how patient he has been with all of this. He has endured, and boy, I have endured. I wish I had been more patient because I probably spent a little too much time crying, and not enough time on my knees, although sometimes I multitasked those two... When you're in the middle of a trial it's sometimes hard to know how long it will be until you reach the end of the tunnel of darkness and reach the light (I think that's where the faith and patience comes in). I know that I needed this experience in my life to learn and grow because my learning curve has pretty much been vertical. And above all I know that God has been aware of my struggle and heartache because all along this difficult road, there have been Sunday School teachers, Preschool teachers, friends, neighbors, all seemingly placed directly in my path so that although I was facing the biggest trial to date in my life, I wasn't facing it alone. My husband gets super props because he has absorbed most of those tears, and he has been my lifeline countless times when I needed major support.
I truly believe that as a mother I have been privileged to not only have these sweet children in my home to teach and love, but that when I need help with knowing how to do that, I get it. There have been many times when I have followed the direction of the Spirit in parenting, and then later, a therapist or teacher recommended that I do just that. I now credit more of my "great ideas" to divine intervention because they were so right on, and heck, I've never done this before!
My son got dressed without a fuss this morning, was happy about going to Church, participated, even created an activity for the children's singing time for me to use (that's my job :) and played with his sister this afternoon.... there was no sign of the opposition, distraction, frustration that there was before. I know there will be hard days ahead, there are for every parent and every kid, but I feel like I'm coming out the end of the tunnel, and the sky is blue. And that blue, is the most beautiful color I've ever seen.

Family Christmas Newsletter
Please ignore the fact that indeed this was the only post this year…I was shocked to find that the post before it was the Christmas Newsletter from last year! But at least this one is getting published in December and not January eh? And I have my work cut out for me when it comes to New Year's Resolutions
Luke learned how to use a number line and do long addition, write his own books and reads like a regular third grader! He recently discovered Lego City Police and so our home is filled with the sounds of sirens and bad guys getting taken "back where you belong!" In Emily's best interests he will not be getting handcuffs this Christmas! He completed an intense session of Intergative Listening and has enjoyed finally being out of doctor's offices! He loves to build things out of boxes, tape, paper, and couch cushions. I have learned that he has a very sweet spot in his heart for his little baby sister…
Emily learned to write her name, sleep through the night in a big girl bunk bed, ride a balance bike, and talk, and talk. She has an immense vocabulary and makes sure everyone knows what she is thinking, why, and what they should be thinking too. She has really enjoyed going to preschool this year, and adores having Amber around. She loves to dress up, be a ballerina, and make up aliases for herself. Right now she is "Butterfly Girl…with super powers!! Unfortunately as of this morning she can no longer touch the sky…I reassured her that it is probably temporary. I have learned that I may never be prepared for the emotion, charisma, and humor of this little girl.
Amber has learned what it's like having a body, a family, and all the time in the world to eat, sleep, and speak gibberish. With her full head of rich black hair and large blue eyes, she stops people everywhere I go to ooh and aaah over her sweetness. Her siblings are quite smitten with her too, and she finds daddy's programming talk hilarious (couldn't stop her laughing!!) I cannot count the miracles that accompanied her arrival. She is such a precious blessing. For now, she is the easiest and best part of my job, but I'm sure she'll have many lessons to teach me too!
Andrew learned to juggle his time between bouncing on the trampoline with two kids, a pregnant wife on bed rest, several side projects, oh and a busy full time job. Two of Andrew's hobby projects are being shipped as part of Microsoft products J. He also created his own secure messaging app which is now available in the Window's 8 Store under the name "Cryptochat." In his spare time (Ha!) he has taken up reading and is on #5 of the Harry Potter series. He is an amazing dad who gets up at night with the two older kids so I can get more sleep (See Proverbs 25:24). I have learned that there is no end to his willingness to help me, and his talents (he made a Thanksgiving pie from scratch!!)
I learned that being Young Women President (girl's youth pastor) is hard and busy, that I have room in my heart for another sweet baby, and that homeschooling can be really fun. It was fun to plan our first family vacation down to Southern California and to find time to read (since I started my pregnancy in bed and finished it that way too). There've also been seasons of painting and sewing which have been nice. I've learned that I can text one of my teen girls, remind Emily to wipe her bum, and be planning dinner, all while reading a book with Luke, and nursing Amber…and remembering to breathe… It's apparent that even I have super powers ;)
We hope that you can look back on this year with happiness and that you can rejoice in this Season of Peace and Joy, as we celebrate the birth of that Wondrous Child. Thank you for your friendship and love to us, we look forward to visiting with some of you in the coming year.

They feel bad, so they found you these other deals to make up for it.
Select Local Merchants
Wallaby RanchRead More"It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Al Roker!" is what someone might have said if they were at Wallaby Ranch when the _Today Show_'s own weatherman chose it as the launching pad for his first hang-gliding experience. Al Roker's flight was just one of more than 30,000 safe and incident-free excursions launched under the watchful eye of veteran hang-glider pilot and owner of Wallaby Ranch, Malcolm Jones. Together with a permanent crew of nine other pilots, instructors, and technicians, Malcolm leads aerotow hang-gliding flights above the lush Florida landscape of his ranch. The fleet of planes tows hang-gliders into the air, at which point they are released to float above the trees and drift smoothly down to the ground like a sleepy eagle. Wallaby Ranch has full camping and RV accommodations on site, allowing groups and families to plan extended stays as they learn to master the aerial art. The crew prepares fresh community breakfast and lunch, and a 27,000-gallon swimming pool cools off visitors after a hard day's glide. Guest can clamor up the climbing wall, while children can caper about the playground. Mountain-bike and walking trails abound, winding through the terrain and plunging hikers into the surrounding, native wildlife.1805 Deen Still Rd.Davenport, FL US
Pawsh Pet Resort and SpaRead MorePawsh Pet Resort and Spa was designed from a pet's perspective to provide its furry visitants with homely comforts amid a safe, fun, and personalized environment. The facility is managed by Holly Kierski, whose credentials for the job include certifications in pet CPR, first aid, and as a bark-to-English translator. Holly heads a staff of professionals that supervise all of Pawsh's day-to-day activities, ranging from exercise-packed daycare services to upscale boarding options, some of which feature password-protected webcams so traveling owners can peek in on their canine or kitty. Meanwhile, on the spa side of Pawsh, professionally trained groomers spruce up shaggy styles, and outside the facility, Pawsh employees jet off to clients' houses for in-home sitting of more exotic pets, such as horses, birds, and freeloading cousins.300 Countyline CourtOakland, FL US
A Fishing ConnectionRead MoreThe sea is famously unpredictable, but when you're fishing with Captain Phil Hartman at the helm, you're almost guaranteed to have a memorable time. With almost 35 years of Florida-fishing experience under his belt, as well as Coast Guard certification, the oceanic expert effortlessly keeps passengers safe while offering tips on nabbing elusive game fish. Passengers' potential hauls may include tarpon, snook, redfish, and trout. Those who brought dry-clean-only rods, meanwhile, can reel in a complimentary snack or bottled water from the deck instead. Some Floridians catch their first-ever fish with Captain Hartman, who welcomes kids onto the boat. And with 50 vessels available, A Fishing Connection can accommodate intimate and large groups alike.17307 2nd StMontverde, FL US
Showcase of CitrusRead MoreOn Friday and Saturday evenings, it's not uncommon to hear Johnny Cash tunes echoing across Showcase of Citrus farm's 2,500 acres as members of the Arnold family shake off another satisfying workweek with their friends and customers. Fourth-generation grower John Arnold and his family can usually be found caring for their groves of citrus trees, collecting fruit, making juice, feeding farm animals or greeting visitors from around the globe. Located just 15 minutes from Disney World, the Arnold family farm produces more than 50 varieties of citrus fruit and blackberries without using pesticides, herbicides, or magic beans. The fruit–as well as jams, jellies, marmalades, and honey—are all available onsite at Farmer John's Old Time Country Store where guests can sample sauces, jellies, marmalade, and honey. Guests can spot native or exotic wildlife such as alligators, zebra, water buffalo, watusi cattle, or scarlet macaws on one of the farm's monster-truck eco-safari tours.5010 US Hwy. 27Clermont, FL US
Florida Pest & LawnRead MoreThe licensed pest-control technicians from Florida Pest & Lawn shoo away a wide range of critters such as termites, bedbugs, ants, or rodents from inside and outside homes. The pest-control team takes its orders from Richie Kidwell, an industry veteran who learned from his father Fred, also a pest-control specialist, that bugs require more stern evacuation measures than a polite cough or a cease-and-desist letter. On each visit, a team member makes sure that no bug slips through cracks by performing treatments on both the interior and exterior of the home, inspecting and spraying popular pest hangouts such as around appliances, bathroom fixtures, windows, and garbage cans. To ensure that colonies don't return, the technician also sprays a six-foot barrier around the home's exterior, which effectively keeps all but 6'1" bugs at bay. In addition to their pest banishing specialty, the team trims and cares for lawns and shrubs to keep yards healthy and verdant, wielding environmentally friendly products to fertilize plants or snuff out unwanted weeds.2001 N Orange Blossom Trl.Orlando, Florida US
Lawn Doctor of OrlandoRead MoreLawn Doctor's roots lead back to the mid 1960s, when friends Bob Magda and Tony Giordano took on the endeavor of treating lawns in their hometown of Matawan, New Jersey. Their local business has since blossomed into a national franchise with more than 400 locations across the United States, each adhering to the mission of enhancing lawns' allure with time-tested techniques and dedicated customer service. Before professionals begin servicing each property, they arrive at the client's home for a complimentary consultation to gauge the lawn's specific needs. Their lawn care experts can foster healthy growth for grass, trees, and shrubs with fertilizer.123 Tom Hanks BlvdOrlando, FL US

We stayed at the (Boston) Westin Copley Place, and the entire staff went above and beyond their jobs to make our daughter to feel, like she said, "a superstar." She went to Boston to have a serious surgical procedure that gave her sight. For the first ten years she only saw things to arm length and fuzzy colors beyond that. We are headed to have check up tomorrow and she is healing enough that we expect she'll return to school the next day. The hotel staff made special arrangements for her to be on the highest floor possible and the first morning she acted like it was a fabulous holiday yelling out all the landmarks she could see in Boston from our corner window, showing a fabulous view of most of the city including the Charles River. Thank you for your hospitality staff at the Westin Copley Place.

G'Quan class heavy cruiser
|First appearance
|Revelations (Airdate)
|Narn Regime
|General characteristics

|Hangar Bay[1]

2x Plasma cannons[2]

The G'Quan-class Heavy Cruiser is a fictional starship in the Babylon 5 universe.
A G'Quan-class cruiser is an immense ship armed with two heavy hard-mounted forward-firing laser cannons, two energy mine launchers and Pulse cannons. The G'Quan was designed to replace the older, more haphazardly designed T'Loth cruiser, which was last seen in 2258.
The G'Quan-class cruiser does not have artificial gravity. The cruiser's powerful forward laser cannons can slice an opposing vessel's hull into pieces, and are strong enough to damage even the ancient warships of the Shadows.[3] The energy mines used by the Narn explode close to enemy vessels and send out shock waves capable of damaging or destroying enemy ships.
The great majority of the G'Quan-class cruisers were destroyed during the Narn-Centauri War. The greatest losses came at the Battle of Gorash 7, which was an attempt by the Narn to destroy the main Centauri supply base on a planet called Gorash 7. A fleet of Shadow vessels intercepted the Narn armada and completely annihilated it.[3] However, a few Narn cruisers managed to survive the war, and they played a key role in the war against the Shadows.[3][4][5] After Narn was liberated from Centauri rule in 2261, the Narns quickly began to rebuild their fleet, and within a few years many new G'Quan-class cruisers had been placed into service.

Frozen (2013) Blu-ray Movie Review
It's not been a good few years for Disney Animation creatively nor financially, with competition provided by the likes of Blue Sky and DreamWorks animation studios nipping at its heels and the company's best attempts in Tangled and Wreck It Ralph were solid, yet comparatively unspectacular features, failing to reach the heights of the now famed Disney Renaissance of the 80's and 90's that gave us consecutive hits in The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin and The Lion King - shadows which loom large over the company.
But last year's Frozen successfully altered the studio's fortunes, grossing $1.2 billion at the box office (now the sixth highest grossing film of all time) and scoring two Academy Awards and giving new confidence to the future and direction of the company.
When young Princess Elsa (voiced by Idina Menzel), blessed (or cursed) with the conjuring power of ice, accidentally injures her younger sister Anna (voiced by Kristen Bell), her parents, the King and Queen of Arendelle, decide to separate the sisters until Elsa can properly manage her powers. Years pass, as do the King and Queen and the Kingdom falls to Elsa. On the event of her coronation, an argument causes her to inadvertently unleash her powers, undoing the years she has spent in hiding. Abandoning the city to a perpetual and inhospitable winter, Anna flees to live in isolation in an ice palace she has constructed, leaving Anna to assemble an oddball delegation to convince her to return.
After hearing all the hype and good reports on Frozen, I'd lowered my expectations out of fear of disappointment. How wrong was I. Frozen is undoubtedly the best Disney film since Fantasia 2000 15 years ago, an uplifting adventure with relatable characters, rich in laughs, great songs and new Disney characters.
Frozen is presented in the strange aspect ratio of 2.24:1, which represents a widening of the mattes from the original 2.40:1 aspect ratio.
Unsurprisingly, Frozen is a near perfect, 2K direct digital transfer which for all intents and purposes is probably pretty close to what audiences saw projected onto cinema screens, just compressed onto much smaller displays. Frozen is an animation powerhouse, filled with beautiful images such that you can pause on any frame just to marvel at the work that's gone into it. The image is crisp and clear and razor sharp, however it's worth noting that some shots intentionally appear a little soft for artistic purpose. Colors are truly spectacular, with a huge wow factor.
Pleasingly, I didn't detect any macro blocking or other artifacts - it's simply as good as Blu-ray gets. That said, I can't help but feel how it would look in native 4K, although I suspect it would upscale quite nicely too.
Frozen is presented in DTS HD Master Audio 7.1 at 24 bits.
Right from the outset, it was pretty clear that Frozen was going to sound the goods, with an incredibly aggressive 7.1 mix that really works the rear surrounds for maximum immersion. The data rate remains sustained at a generous 5 mbp/s, offering unmatched clarity that only the best amplifiers and audio equipment can truly capitalize on. Still whatever equipment you have, Frozen will take full advantage of it.
Dialogue is rendered well and lip-synced appropriately, supported by a strong front soundstage, which is forceful when appropriate. The track features a number of musical numbers which harken back to the fusion of powerful lyrics and compositions of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken. These are showcased well and mixed appropriately for maximum impact.
The low frequency is deep and resonating, supporting a number of characters and action sequences, including the ice monster.
It's a bit of a surprise that the Blu-ray debut of Frozen is light on for extra features, although the rumor mill points to a potential fourth quarter special edition re-release. Whether that comes to pass is unknown at this point, but for a film of such stature and new found importance to the company, I'd be willing to bet its accuracy. Still, let's take a look at what is included in the initial release.
First up is the animated short that accompanied Frozen's theatrical release, Get A Horse! which breaks the fourth wall and reunites audiences with Mickey and Minnie Mouse in a new short that merges new animation with old. It also happens to be hugely entertaining and a lot of fun. It's also nicely presented in pristine 1080p HD.
The three minute featurette The Making of Frozen turns out to be nothing what the title would seem to indicate; serving as a cute behind the scenes musical number featuring the cast and crew. Unfortunately, the absence of a proper 'making of' documentary makes this come off as a little insulting.
The seven minute D'Frosted: Disney's Journey from Hans Christian Andersen to Frozen skims over the previous aborted attempts to translate the Danish authors story "The Snow Queen", including touching on the previous adaptation of his work in 1989's The Little Mermaid.
Next are four Deleted Scenes which were all cut in the storyboard process and would have inconsequently padded the film out by a few minutes, introduced by writer director partners Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee who explain the excision.
Finally, we have a Let It Go Music Video by Demi Lovato, along with three other language tracks, and the Original Theatrical Teaser in 1080p.

Service Clubs in America need Millennial Love
This week I attended a Zonta meeting. And I heard the same feedback: service organizations are fading. How do we get some young blood? In a group of 20 women, only one was under the age of 30. The rest: upwards of 50.
And yet, Millennials (18-34) are an increasingly socially-conscious group. What TIME magazine labelled as the "Me Me Me" generation, Financial Times rebranded them as the "Yes We Can" bastion.

China float: An article and photo caption in Section A on
Wednesday about the Rose Parade said a float celebrating the 2008
Summer Games in Beijing was co-sponsored by China. It was paid for by
a coalition of Chinese American businesspeople and philanthropists
and the Pasadena label maker Avery Dennison Corp.
The 2008 Rose Parade trotted out Tuesday for its 119th New Year's Day incarnation, with brilliant flowers showcasing traditions as diverse as New Orleans' Mardi Gras, Mexico's Day of the Dead and a Japanese cherry blossom festival.
And with the year's theme celebrating the world's celebrations, life imitated art. One float depicted the Rose Parade itself, with past Rose queens onboard and a 20-foot rosebud coming to full bloom in an explosion of colorful streamers and confetti.
Another celebrated the grand buildings of Italy -- at least how they have been re-created in a new Las Vegas hotel, the Palazzo.
Under a pale sun, the grand marshal, New Orleans chef Emeril Lagasse, opened the parade with the trademark refrain from his Food Network television show: "Let's kick it up a notch. Bam!"
Tens of thousands of people lined the streets of Pasadena and millions more watched on television from around the world. Marching bands came from Japan, El Salvador, Switzerland, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Floats soared and spun with Bengal tigers, space aliens, Chinese dragons and Egyptian kings and queens.
One celebrated the Dodgers' 50th year in Los Angeles with a 35-foot player coming out of a grand slam swing and a dozen Dodger legends, including Tommy Lasorda, Steve Garvey and announcer Vin Scully, riding along. Another depicted Oktoberfest, with a smiling fraulein pouring beer into a patron's mug.
Aside from the elaborate floats, the venerable parade lived up to its most time-tested expectation: taunting icebound viewers with images of balmy skies.
The morning sun glinted off granite San Gabriel Mountain peaks. And high winds experienced in some parts of the Southland left the parade route untouched, sparing the world a glimpse of one of Southern California's most storied quirks, the Santa Anas.
The parade also lived up to another tradition: avoiding controversy.
Protesters who had been threatening to block a float promoting the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games went largely unnoticed -- except by those standing behind the protesters' waving signs.
"Human rights are a big violation in China," said Katie Schwarzenbach, born and raised in Pasadena. "But my rights are being violated here in Pasadena. They're blocking my view. It's not appropriate."
Other protesters calling for an end to the war in Iraq and for President Bush's impeachment also walked the parade route, but after the floats and bands had passed.
Police reported one arrest of a protester who walked into the parade. Andrew Koenig , 39, was given a citation for disrupting a public event, a police official said.
Human rights activists said the Beijing Olympics float, co-sponsored by the People's Republic of China, was a propaganda tool for a government that sanctions imprisonment and torture of its opponents.
"I went around reminding people they are American and not to forget what you stand for," said protester Kai Chen, 54, of Los Angeles, passing out T-shirts equating the Olympics to the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989.

A cool look on global warming
This is undisputable facts about "Global Warming" - Oh no, its "Climate Change" hang on sorry I got that wrong - it "Carbon Pollution" - we must tax the public!
"A Cool Look at Global Warming" Presentation to Sydney Legacy at Level 1, AWA Building 47 York Street, Sydney Philip R. Wood Vice President, The Lavoisier Group Thursday 30 June 2011 Is the end of the world really nigh? Dust storm as I drove across Sydney Harbour Bridge at 6:30 am on Wednesday 23 September 2009 There is no opinion, however absurd, which men will not readily embrace as soon as they can be brought to the conviction that it is generally adopted. (Schopenhauer, Die Kunst Recht zu Behalten) The Australian public fail the knowledge test on carbon. 53% 40% 37% 93% 47% 37% 44% believe climate change causes tsunamis believe climate change causes earthquakes believe climate change causes volcanic eruptions think CO2 constitutes more than 1% of the atmosphere think CO2 is `pollution' think we should try to reduce carbon in the body think food and drink would be safer if it had no carbon or CO2 in it But I want to start with facts that we can all agree upon: (global warming `alarmists' and `realists' alike) Carbon Dioxide (CO2 ) is: 1. A tiny trace gas (385 parts per million: less than a twentyfifth of 1% of the atmosphere) 2. Naturally occurring 3. Invisible 4. Odourless 5. Nontoxic 6. Necessary for all plant life (photosynthesis) 7. Emitted by all animal life (breathing etc.) So why is CO2 called a "pollutant"? Remarkable answer: Because it is a "greenhouse gas" even though greenhouse gases make Planet Earth liveable (+14oC current average global temperature, rather than 19oC otherwise) When we hear the words "carbon pollution" we are listening to an oxymoron. Carbon is the most useful element on earth. In addition to diamonds, graphite, coal, oil and natural gas, carbon is the building block of every living plant and animal cell. In the atmosphere it is naturally present in trace amounts as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). One of the "Big Polluters" keeping our lights on! Bayswater Power Station (Hunter Valley, NSW) operating at maximum capacity The visible white gas is steam from the cooling towers, with the tall chimneys emitting invisible CO2 Greenhouse gases, in order of importance, comprise: Water vapour (H2O) Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Methane (CH4), Nitrous Oxide (N2O), etc. 97% 2% 1% So fluffy rain clouds (H2O), your exhaled breath (40,000 ppm CO2, 8,000 ppm in submarines) and cow belches (CH4) are all villainous "pollutants"! Humankind currently contributes 3% of the Earth's production of atmospheric CO2. The 97% balance of naturallyoccurring CO2 production is split between animals, vegetation and soils (53%) and the oceans (44%). Both the landbased biosphere and the oceanbased aquasphere also absorb huge amounts of CO2. Carbon Dioxide Cycle Annual Carbon Cycle between the Oceans, Vegetation and Soils, Humankind and the Atmosphere N.B. The oceans contain 50 times more CO2 than the atmosphere. Eyjafjallajokul Volcano Erupts in Iceland in 2010 Mt. Puyehue Erupts in Chile in 2011 CO2 is a tiny trace gas in the Earth's atmosphere Humanity makes a minuscule contribution to CO2 � itself a tiny but vital and natural trace gas. If only humankind could emit more CO2! Benefits of Carbon Dioxide Doubling current CO2 levels would improve food crop yields as listed below: Wheat Legumes Other cereals Fruits Tuber crops Vegetables 60% 62% 70% 33% 67% 51% Between 1950 and the early 1990s, world population X2.2, food production X2.7 19702000 saw a 15% per capita increase in food consumption CO2 is Plant Food Here is what happens over one year with more CO2 385 ppm (present ambient) 535 ppm 685 ppm 835 ppm Cruelia starves the trees! The warming effect of CO2 declines logarithmically The first 20ppm CO2 in the atmosphere has a greater effect than the following 300ppm. The incremental effect of increasing CO2 at the present 385ppm level is almost immeasurable. Australia contributes 1.4% of global anthropogenic greenhouse emissions. Historic and Projected Atmospheric Carbon Contributions by the United States, China and Australia Australia's `commitment' The `base case' bipartisan plan is to reduce Australia's emissions by 5% by 2020. ETS casualty Next casualty? ETS casualty Final victor? This arbitrary commitment would therefore have had the following annual impact on the world's greenhouse effect: 100% x 2% x 3% x 10% x 1.5% x 5% = 0.0000045 % or about a 22 millionth! (Equal to one human step in a trek around the Earth's equator!) And yet the Greens tell us that Australia's failure to cut CO2 emissions will... destroy the Great Barrier Reef reduce agricultural production in the MurrayDarling Basin by 90% by 2100 due to drought inundate Australia's coastal homes melt the Snowy Mountains ski fields ruin Kakadu National Park They never explain how or why! Senator Bob Brown, The Australian Greens Brisbane 1893 ~ 118 years ago! So, to justify this huge national effort for effectively nil outcome, carbon dioxide must be the real villain of `catastrophic' Global Warming: Right? Wrong ! 600 Million Years of Temperature and CO2 show no correlation. Over the last 150 million years, geological processes have taken 90% of the carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. Temperature, CO2 and sea levels for the last 20,000 years Relative stability during the most recent 7,000 years when human civilization has advanced most rapidly. Stable temperature range since end of last ice age Over the last 5,000 yrs there were three warm periods (green sections) where it was warmer than today and the Earth survived while human civilization flourished! What is Earth's normal temperature? Historical Evidence � The Last 1,000 years `Industrial Age': 1850 present Globally averaged temperature variations between 1850 and 2000 show the emergence from the "Little Ice Age" in the early 1900's, slight cooling in the 1940's to the 1970's, and then warming again since the 1970's, followed by cooling since 1998. Satellite Measurements: 1979 2011 No recent correlation between rising CO2 and slightly cooling temperature Exactly what "climate change"? Global temperature has gently declined over the past decade. Both polar ice caps are currently increasing. Sea levels continue the same gentle minuscule rise. Cyclones/hurricanes are the same as ever. The MurrayDarling basin is awash. The Great Barrier Reef is thriving. Bountiful Snowy Mountains ski season, etc., etc... So the rhetorical language has changed: what was once `global warming' and then `climate change', has become `pollution', `price on carbon', `energy security' and `green jobs' in the `green economy'. Didn't Al Gore say the Arctic Ice will be gone by 2012? � The graph of Arctic Ice cover of the last seven years, shows 2007 as the year with the least ice cover since satellites have been used (in 1979 they started) In 2007 some people made a guess that the warming trend would continue. Al Gore and others have repeated that guess. Since then the arctic ice cover has increased. Anecdotal evidence shows there were periods when ice cover was less than in 2007, (e.g. ships in the 1930's navigated the north west passage without the assistance of ice breakers or GPS tracking of ice floes), so there is nothing unusual about the levels of Arctic Ice we have today Arctic polar bear population has increased from 5,000 50 years ago to 25,000 today. � � � Sydney Harbour will rise the length of your little finger (6cm) this 21st century, just as it did last century. Sea level measurements at Fort Denison MurrayDarling Basin Yearly Rainfall 1900 TO 2010 Are cyclones increasing? No! Everything presented so far has been indisputable empirically observed data. Global warming advocates have no choice but to agree, even if they are reluctant to be open with us all on these matters. The difference comes when computer modelling the future: "rubbish in, rubbish out"! "People underestimate the power of models. Observational evidence is not very useful. Our approach is not entirely empirical." John Mitchell, principal research scientist at the UK Met Office No computer model has ever successfully predicted future global temperature. The inputs are too many, too complex and often unknown. The IPCC's bogus computer models Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change set up in 1988 under UN auspices Does not carry out research or monitor climate Assimilates available information to inform governments of the world via computerized projections Global quasimonopoly of official scientific advice Has mutated into a politically correct alarmist pressure group Notorious "hockey stick" quietly dropped from latest 2007 Report Joint winner with Al Gore of the Nobel Peace Prize! "If the IPCC wasn't there, why would anyone be worried about climate change?" Rajendra Pachauri, Chairman of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Science, February 5, 2010 The IPCC's "Hockey Stick" An exposed scientific fraud knowingly misused by Al Gore in his movie "An Inconvenient Truth". What an ironic name! Why did so many scientists get it wrong? Climategate breaks on 20 November 2009 The emails have discredited most of the lead IPCC authors. Recommended reading: "Climategate Analysis" by John Costella http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/images/stories/papers/reprint/climategate_analysis.pdf The IPCC models predict monotonic warming, but they are already wrong!

The Labor/Green/Independent Government's Proposed "Carbon Tax" Multibillion dollar per annum carbon tax: i.e. "great big new tax on everything"! Who are the 1000 "big polluters"? Creates massive distortions in our economy Directly reduces international competitiveness Produces grinding compliance costs and bureaucratic intervention to cushion adverse industry and household impacts for political expediency Provides a bonanza for the financial and professional services, `green' industries and government departments which will take commissions, fees, subsidies and taxes from the cash flow � bad luck for the productive sector, the taxpayer and the consumer! But now, the "People's Assembly" has been scrapped for a "MultiParty Climate Change Committee" Eligibility requires belief that "the science is settled" and that a "price on carbon" will "provide certainty" to business. The only certain "price on carbon" is not to have one at all. The Gillard/Brown Government's Climate Change Commission "The Commission is an independent body set up by the federal government to provide information on climate change and help inform the debate" ABC Spokeswoman 30 April, 2011 In fact, the taxpayerfunded Commission is a biased propaganda machine comprised entirely of climate change alarmists trying to stifle one side of the debate. Now the Government apparently needs taxpayers to fund a $12 million advertising campaign to convince an increasingly dubious public. "Business Certainty" ? "If the policy doesn't reduce carbon then it is purely a tax. The other problem is that under this policy, at any time in the future the government of the day can change the cost of carbon so there is no certainty for us to make investment decisions." Paul O'Malley Chief Executive Officer Bluescope Steel Political plain speak on the carbon tax "The document obviously contemplates broad coverage of the economy but it also leaves open the discussion that we need to have about how that might be dealt with, whether or not we phase the scheme into different sectors of the economy but the important thing again is the PM acknowledged there are price impacts in the economy from a carbon price and also indicated, as you would expect from a Labor government, that we will assist those people who need the assistance the most, in particular obviously pensioners and low income households will be firmly in our mind and we will ensure that every dollar raised from the carbon price mechanism is committed to help households and to help industry make the transition to lower emissions in the future." Greg Combet Minister for Climate Change There. Hopefully that's cleared things up! 20% Renewable Energy Target by 2020 Currently 7% Most renewable energy is presently hydro (5% with little scope for increase) and `bagasse' from sugarcane (1%) Wind and solar (1%) do not produce baseload power (therefore require ~85% baseload backup) Baseload from geothermal `hot rocks' difficult and isolated Uranium (still ruled out politically in Australia) Carbon GeoSequestration (expensive, nonuniform and unproven) N.B. All of the above new technologies are much more expensive than coalfired power. Therefore Australian electricity prices will continue to rocket upwards.

Hilarious! � World Leaders meet to discuss controlling the climate Copenhagen, December 2009 The hubris of a Greek tragedy "Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket." -Eric Hoffer (The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements) "It is error alone which needs the support of government.

Celebrate Recovery is a biblical and balanced program that helps us overcome our hurts, hang-ups, and habits. It is based on the actual words of Jesus rather than psychological theory. 20 years ago, Saddleback Church launched Celebrate Recovery with 43 people. It was designed as a program to help those struggling with hurts, habits and hang-ups by showing them the loving power of Jesus Christ through a recovery process. Celebrate Recovery has helped more than 17000 people at Saddleback, attracting over 70% of its members from outside the church. Eighty-five percent of the people who go through the program stay with the church and nearly half serve as church volunteers.
Celebrate Recovery is now in over 20,000 churches worldwide!

I am a SAHM, looking for a job and also studying part-time, which is why DS has to be in daycare part-time. However, he's sick on and off, ever since he has started daycare. This has also made him a picky eater. He has had 3 ear infections in the past 2 months and I suspect a 4th one coming. I think he gets all of this from the daycare. I was thinking of discontinuing daycare and look after him all by myself. I would really appreciate your views!!!
Am I taking the right decision?

How to Balance Authenticity and Personal Style
When working with women executive or entrepreneurs, Henry helps identify her client's authentic self — and find a credible way to express that, comfortably and confidently.
Corporate Image Coach Sarah Hathorn advises women to allow their professional images to speak on their behalf — and beware of wardrobe choices that undermine her brand. A few key pointers:
- Choose clothes that reflect leadership traits – e.g. don't wear a 10-year-old suit if you're a young, forward-thinking leader.
- Being comfortable in your position doesn't mean yoga pants and tank tops. Women can be most comfortable by choosing professional clothes in the right fit for their body. For an executive, a well-tailored jacket allows for individualization and comfort — without completely ignoring the industry uniform.
- Details matter. If you're a leader who encourages and embraces creativity then pay special attention to the details of your personal style — wearing the same "uniform" of black pants and blouse every day doesn't communicate adventure, risk or creative style.
The image we chose can either support or negate our carefully crafted brand, along with the messages and the content we're striving to bring to the forefront of the conversation.
Embodying your authentic brand is a process, but it sends a powerful statement and commands respect. In the end, it's not about conformity or mimicry, but identifying your authentic self and wearing it, inside and out, with confidence.

For many, Brandon Weeden was too old to begin with. Drafted 22nd overall in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Cleveland Browns seemed desperate to find a starting quarterback. Even though X-rays were negative on Brandon Weeden's thumb, the Browns will continue to take a closer look. Chris Mortensen of ESPN stated an MRI is still to come and Brandon Weeden's status is in jeopardy for Week 3, thank God! Weeden is on pace for the same garbage season he had last year... Read more

But unless there is a wave of disastrous accidents, politicians are unlikely to pluck up the courage to ban such systems from cars. Insurance companies will have no such scruples. For example, if it turns out that hands-free electronics double the risk of an accident, they might double premiums, or insist systems be disabled. However, collecting data takes time. For now, all we can do is try to educate people, and hope that electronics and auto companies wake up to the danger.
Ironically, in the longer term, more technology could be the answer. Self-driving cars could focus on the road and leave the people inside to chat with friends or fiddle with Facebook. That would finally rid cars of their most dangerous component – the nut behind the wheel.

1869 Three Cent Nickel in Nickel1869 3C Three Cent Nickel, Judd-676, Pollock-753, R.4, PR66 Cameo NGC. The design resembles the regular dies, with Liberty wearing a coronet on the obverse, surrounded by UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and the date below. The reverse is known in two varieties, with this coin representing the more common variety, with short dentils on each side and the Roman numeral positioned slightly higher within the wreath on the reverse. Struck in nickel with a plain edge. This is an all-brilliant example of this nickel striking. The fields are nicely reflective for a nickel product with sharply contrasting, frosted devices. The left rim of the reverse shows two diagonal die cracks from the leaves to the rim. (PCGS# 60901)

The whole thing about their ISP shaking hands with my ISP, their modem playing well with my modem, then dealing with my router in relation to theirs... maybe I'm better off just using logmein.
I guess... what would you recommend? Right now logmein is working great- I actually love the tools and monitoring utilities it provides. Depending on the monthly fee I'm contemplating subscribing however, I just hoped I could use Remote Desktop and do the same for free.
Hmm... I am using the pro trial. Guess I need to research the difference between the pro and basic subscription. If the basic will suffice then I'll likely just go with that.
Thanks again guys. Really do appreciate all the feedback and suggestions.
I don't understand why you need a modem , when your parents are behind a router.
the router will conect directly to the isp, and is therefore always on.
you would then either have a dynamic ip address or fixed ip.
its really simple to do port forwarding.

OKLAHOMA CITY - MARCH 18: Head coach Bill Self of the Kansas Jayhawks reacts against the Lehigh Mountain Hawks during the first round of the 2010 NCAA men's basketball tournament at Ford Center on March 18, 2010 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)
Gut punch there by Coach Self… Last night, the #5 ranked Kansas men's basketball team was upset 62-55 by TCU, an opponent that was previously win-less in Big 12 conference play. The final score fails to paint the whole picture. The Jayhawks were held to only 13 first-half points en route to their 2nd straight loss, which led head coach Bill Self to make his gut punching proclamation. "I assess the whole game as, what's the right word? Futility?" Self said. "I don't know how to describe it. It was awful. Even as bad as it was, which it was horrendous … Offensively, that is as bad as you can play. We got off to such a bad start, and obviously it got worse from there." "It was the worst team Kansas has ever put on the floor," Self said emphatically. "Since Dr. [James] Naismith was there. I think he had some bad teams and lost to the YMCA the first couple years." You know you're coach is mad when you're the 5th ranked team in college basketball and he compares you to a rec league team at the Y. Hopefully these comments light a fire under his players and inspire better play, but to be honest instead of ripping me in the media I would've just preferred him to do it in the locker room and run me to death in practice.

The Ethics of Libertyby Murray N. Rothbard
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Social justice activists in the United States face an increasingly difficult task: how do they fight policies based on damaging images of race, class and gender identities in an era of "colorblind" racism? Through the voices of women activists in the welfare rights movement across the United States, The Price of Progressive Politics exposes the contemporary reality of welfare rights politics, revealing how the language of colorblind racism undermines this multiracial movement. Rose Ernst argues that although many activists are well-meaning and truly committed, they nonetheless find themselves reproducing many of the same racial and gender biases that they are trying to fight against. Through forty-nine in-depth interviews with activists in eight organizations across the United States, Ernst presents an intersectional analysis of how these activists understand the complexities of race, class and gender and how such understandings have affected their approach to their grassroots work.
The vibrant stories of these welfare rights activists from around the country reveal the volatile issues of race and class that underlie the deep complexities and contradictions of grassroots organizing, and the tensions which are often heightened by the language of color-blind racism. Engaging and accessible, The Price of Progressive Politics offers a refreshing examination of how those working for change grapple with shifting racial dynamics in the United States, arguing that organizations that fail to develop a consciousness that reflects the reality of multiple marginalized identities ultimately reproduce the societal dynamics they seek to change.
In recent years, libertarian impulses have increasingly influenced national and economic debates, from welfare reform to efforts to curtail affirmative action. Murray N. Rothbard's classic The Ethics of Liberty stands as one of the most rigorous and philosophically sophisticated expositions of the libertarian political position.
What distinguishes Rothbard's book is the manner in which it roots the case for freedom in the concept of natural rights and applies it to a host of practical problems. An economist by profession, Rothbard here proves himself equally at home with philosophy. And while his conclusions are radical—that a social order that strictly adheres to the rights of private property must exclude the institutionalized violence inherent in the state—his applications of libertarian principles prove surprisingly practical for a host of social dilemmas, solutions to which have eluded alternative traditions.
The Ethics of Liberty authoritatively established the anarcho-capitalist economic system as the most viable and the only principled option for a social order based on freedom. This edition is newly indexed and includes a new introduction that takes special note of the Robert Nozick-Rothbard controversies.
This work is a rigorous and philosophically sophisticated exposition of the libertarian political position. It roots the case for freedom in the concept of natural rights and applies it to a host of practical problems. It concludes that a social order that strictly adheres to the rights of private property must exclude the institutionalized violence inherent in the state.
