Boy Scout Jamboree Bans Obese Kids and Adults
Some 30,000 Boy Scouts and 7,000 leaders gathered July 15 in West Virginia for the annual National Scouts Jamboree, and for the second time in the event's history, each of them was subject to a body mass index (BMI) cutoff that was designed to prohibit obese or unhealthily overweight people from participating in the event. The standard, organizers say, is in place to protect the health and safety of participants, as the Jamboree is packed with physical activities ranging from hiking to rock climbing.
"This policy is not meant to keep anyone out at all, and it's just to make sure that they're safe," Boy Scouts of America's public relations director Deron Smith told CNN. "We offer thousands of summer camp experiences (that) do not have this requirement."
But Dr. Jennifer Shu, an Atlanta pediatrician, told CNN, "Any organization can make their own rules, but as a pediatrician I feel like we should be promoting physical activity for everybody, be as inclusive as possible, and only exclude from activity if there's a physical threat to their health," she said.
Boys whose BMI is slightly lower than 40, but who are still considered obese for their height can be admitted to the Jamboree, but they are subject to additional health scrutiny, including a personal health recommendation from a health care provider.

HARDBURLY – A piece of local history went up in smoke late Sunday afternoon after the former commissary of the old Hardburly mining camp caught fire.
Firefighters with the Jakes Branch Fire Department responded to the scene at 4:21 p.m. on Sunday, said Jakes Branch Fire Chief Jamie Farris. Upon their arrival, the flames had spread to the building's second story, preventing firefighters from making entry into the abandoned building.
With the aid of the Fisty Volunteer Fire Department, Farris said the flames were eventually extinguished approximately three hours later. The cause of the fire is not known as of press time.
Named for the Hardy-Burlingham Mining Company, Hardburly represents a link to the area's history with coal mining. The coal camp there, which was built the first half of the 20th century, contained dozens of houses and other structures. Though abandoned for several years, the commissary, which was constructed with cut stone, was one of the few remaining structures from the camp still intact.

The St. Tammany Parish Democrat Executive Committee is seeking applications to receive a partial scholarship to attend one of two upcoming area leadership training classes. The deadline to apply for scholarship assistance is Feb. 20.
Leadership St. Tammany is an independent organization affiliated with Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond that provides leadership skills and increases knowledge of St. Tammany Parish with numerous presentations by community leaders. Many of those serving in elective or non elective positions of parish leadership are graduates of previous Leadership St. Tammany sessions.
Leadership Northshore is sponsored by the East St. Tammany Chamber of Commerce. Its purpose is to assist in preparing emerging community leaders for positions in local government, business and community affairs.
Both organizations conduct classes covering a wide range of topics for emerging community leaders. "These are excellent programs to help future parish leaders to better understand how government works and how they can get involved to make a difference in their community," said Keith Villere, chairman of the Democratic committee. "The Democratic Party in St. Tammany Parish is pleased to be able to assist future leaders to actively pursue leadership roles in our parish."
Those interested in applying for the leadership scholarship should contact the Democratic Parish Executive Committee in care of Villere at email@example.com or by phone at (985) 893-0408 in order to receive an application. Applications received after Feb. 20 will not be considered for the upcoming classes. The recipient will be announced at the March 10 meeting of the Democratic committee. Each applicant must be a registered voter and a resident of St. Tammany Parish.
Landrieu Leads Senate to Pass Critical Changes to Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Act
On Jan 30, the U.S. Senate passed legislation that would delay crippling flood insurance rate hikes for middle-class homeowners across the country, including nearly half a million policyholders in Louisiana, and Sen. Mary Landrieu's leadership on this issue was critical in shepherding the bill through the process.
"Senator Landrieu brought together a strong coalition of Republicans and Democrats to push for reform to the Biggert-Waters Act, which is imposing disastrous flood insurance premium increases for middle-class families in Louisiana and across this country," said Louisiana Democratic Party Chair Karen Carter Peterson. "As this bill now heads to the House, we hope the leadership in that chamber acts quickly to help the millions of Americans who could face financial ruin if they delay."
On her Senate web site, Senator Landrieu urges us to contact House leadership and ask them to pass the bill.
A super PAC backing David Vitter's run for governor is working behind the scenes to ensure corporate special interests have even greater sway in Louisiana elections by fighting to end the state's $100,000 limit on individual donations.
"If you think there isn't nearly enough money in Louisiana politics, then David Vitter is the candidate for you," said Louisiana Democratic Party Executive Director Stephen Handwerk. "His super PAC lawyers are trying every tactic they can imagine to help Vitter's corporate special interest donors dump millions into the effort to install him in the governor's mansion."
The Fund for Louisiana's Future, a super PAC run by D.C. lawyer Charlie Spies that is supporting Vitter, petitioned the Louisiana Board of Ethics to rule the state's $100,000 contribution max unconstitutional, a decision the board declined to take last week. During his remarks to the board, Spies raised the threat of a federal lawsuit and hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees to be paid by Louisiana taxpayers.
The board responded that Spies should take the issue up with the state legislature and lobby to repeal the law, but lawmakers are unlikely to support such legislation. Fellow Republican state Sen. Jody Amedee told the Times-Picayune, "I cannot imagine why someone would need to donate more than $100,000."
The Fund for Louisiana's Future has already raised $1.5 million with the $100,000 limit.

Thanks to the Louisiana Democratic Party for sharing this information.
The New Jim Crow Task Force, based at the Northshore Unitarian Universalist Church, is working to reduce the rate of incarceration of Louisiana's citizens, particularly non-violent offenders. Northshore Democratic Women's Club member Bonnie Schmidt is co-facilitator of the group. The task force has been actively meeting and studying the issues behind mass incarceration for over a year. As we reported in this week's Club newsletter, now they are taking action.
- Bonnie and others attended a House Committee Informational meeting on January 21 in Baton Rouge on the legalization of marijuana for medical use. Anita Dugat-Greene wrote a full report on the Task Force's blog, Equal Justice Louisiana.
- On Thursday, January 23, the ACLU and the Pelican Institute presented Safe and Fair Louisiana: A Panel Discussion on Criminal Justice Reform. To a crowd of over 200 people at the Abita Springs Town Hall, panelists Marjorie Esman of the ACLU, Kevin Kane of the Pelican Institute, and Judge Ricky Wicker of the Louisiana Sentencing Commission discussed the challenges of reform and how citizens can move the discussion forward. See Anita's full report for all the details of this important event.
Congratulations to Bonnie and to Sandra Slifer of the St. Tammany League of Women Voters, who worked together to do such a great job of putting the Abita Springs panel discussion together.
The next meeting of the New Jim Crow Task Force will be on Sunday, February 23. Details will be on our calendar as the event approaches.
Senator Mary Landrieu has a petition calling on Gov. Bobby Jindal to take the Medicaid Expansion money. Senator Landrieu says:
Our governor may not like the president, but this is not about the president. It's about providing health coverage for 240,000 Louisianians who work 40 or 50 hours a week, but still make too little to qualify for assistance in the new marketplace — and too much to qualify for Louisiana's current Medicaid.
The Supreme Court ruling that allowed states to "opt out" of Medicaid expansion put our most vulnerable citizens at risk. It threw them into a gap in the law that was supposed to provide them with the insurance they need. Bobby Jindal's politically-motivated refusal to accept the money weakens our state and puts lives at risk. Thank you, Senator, for standing up for Louisiana's working poor.
Sign her petition here.

NC State Gymnastics Gives Back to the Community
Jan. 7, 2014
DURHAM, N.C. – The NC State gymnastics team recently took time out of its busy preseason schedule last week to give back to the community. The squad had the opportunity to cook and serve a meal at the Ronald McDonald House of Durham.
"I think the team just really likes to give back, because we realize how fortunate we are to have gymnastics in our lives and go to college," said senior Stephanie Ouellette. "We want to help people who are suffering and are fighting a battle as much as we can."
Harris Teeter generously partnered with the Wolfpack to help provide food for the meal. The squad teamed together to buy groceries and cooked a meal consisting of pasta, meatballs, salad and Texas toast.
This year marks the second consecutive season the Pack has cooked a meal for the Ronald McDonald House, as the team cooked brunch a season ago.
The Ronald McDonald House of Durham is part of Ronald McDonald House Charities, a national non-profit organization that helps provide a place to stay for families with hospitalized children who are receiving treatment. The organization, which was created in 1974, can now be found in 58 countries and regions across the globe.
State will open its 2014 season on Sunday, Jan. 12 at UNC inside Carmichael Arena, beginning at 2 p.m.

This application claims benefit of provisional application U.S. 60/398,006, filed Jul. 23, 2002.
The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions. More specifically, the invention relates to cosmetic compositions that are long-wearing and resistant to transfer onto clothing, utensils, and the like.
When women are asked what cosmetic items they simply can't do without, lipstick routinely comes in as one of the top choices. Lipstick is clearly an essential cosmetic item to most women, and as technology improves, the demand for improved lip products grows. No longer is it adequate to have a large variety of shades to match any particular mood or outfit; women expect some value to be added to the product beyond the basic need of appealing color. Lip products now regularly incorporate biological actives and emollients that will actually improve the lip's condition, in addition to simply coloring it. Not only is treatment important to the lipstick purchaser, however; also crucial to the user is the lipstick's performance. Long gone are the days when a woman had the time or inclination to be touching up her makeup several times a day; it is now preferred that a cosmetic be put in place in the morning, and remain in place throughout the day, without any further attention. It is also now preferred that cosmetics, and particularly lipsticks, not leave their mark on unintended surfaces, such as coffee cups, napkins, utensils, a white blouse, or a kiss recipient's cheek. Thus, long wear and transfer resistance have become important characteristics to the consumer in choosing a new lipstick.
Fortunately, cosmetic technology has advanced to the point where it is possible to provide these desired traits in a lipstick. These types of products follow a general pattern: the use of a volatile solvent for quick drying, combined with a film-forming agent that lays down a long wearing film on the lips as the volatile solvent dries. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,505,937 discloses a transfer resistant lipstick which relies on the combination of a volatile solvent for quick drying, and a specified silicone ester wax to form a long-wearing film. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,837,223; 5,911,974; 5,965,112; 6,274,152 and 5,985,298 disclose various cosmetics said to exhibit long wear, which cosmetics are based on a mixture of an "MQ"-type silicone resin, a volatile solvent and non-volatile oils. Similarly, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,071,503; 6,074,654; 6,139,823; 6,340,466; 6,406,683 disclose long-wearing cosmetics that rely on the mixture of an "MQ"-type silicone resin and a high molecular weight dimethicone gum to achieve long wear and transfer resistance. Products based on these technologies are now also widely commercially available. Although such products have achieved to varying degrees a measure of success in providing long-wear and transfer resistance, one of the frequently noted problems with such products is the comfort the user experiences with their use. The chemical nature of the products is such that after several hours of wear, the products can leave the lips feeling very dry and flaky. To some extent, this is a reflection of a relative lack of flexibility in the film that remains on the lips after the volatiles flash off. Thus, although the film is responsible for the desirable characteristics, it is also responsible for some undesirable characteristics as well. Therefore, the search continues for a long-wearing, transfer resistant lipstick that provides the user with an improved level of comfort and flexibility, with a minimization of the characteristic dryness and flakiness that can be associated with use of the currently available products. The present invention provides such a product.
The present invention relates to cosmetic product for application to the lips, the product comprising (1) at least one silicone pressure sensitive adhesive that is the reaction product of silica dioxide, or derivatives thereof, with an organosiloxy resin having a viscosity of between about 1,000 to about 200,000 cs, preferably from about 10,000 to about 15,000 cs; and (2) a volatile carrier. The composition can be used alone to color the lips, or can be the base coat of a two part system, the second part comprising a top coat which contains at least one non-volatile solvent that is insoluble in both water and non-polar hydrocarbons, such as mineral oil. The resulting lip product is relatively non-drying, providing a comfortable, long-wearing film, and in combination with the top coat, provides a shiny, attractive lip color.
The lip products of the present invention utilize as its film-forming component a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) compound that is a reaction product between a silica dioxide, or derivatives thereof, and a silanol-endblocked polydiorganosiloxane fluid having a viscosity of from about 1,000 to about 200,000 cs. Any silica derivative can be used, provided it has sufficient hydroxy radical density to react with the silanol-endblocked diorganosiloxane. In a preferred embodiment, the derivatives are tri(alkyl)organosilyl-endblocked silica dioxide, reacted with a polydi(alkyl)organosiloxane having a viscosity of about 10,000 to about 15,000 cs. The preferred PSA compounds are non-flowable solids at room temperature, and have a viscosity well in excess of 10,000,000 cs. Examples of the manufacture of these materials are found in U.S. Pat. No. 5,162,410, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,330,747 and 5,451,610, suggests their use in certain personal care products. However, to the best of Applicants' knowledge, these materials have not been previously suggested for use in a long-wearing, transfer resistant lip product. Preferred PSAs of the invention are available commercially from Dow Corning under the trade name BIO-PSA®. BIO-PSA® comes in two forms, standard and amine compatible, and are provided in a variety of solvents and resin-to-polymer ratios. Any of the BIO-PSA® materials is suitable for use in the present invention; however, preferred are the standard form adhesives, and particularly preferred is the BIO-PSA® identified by Dow Coming product number 7-4405, in an isododecane solvent.
To form the basic lip product, the PSA(s) is combined with one or more volatile carriers, to provide a rapid drying time on the lip. Any volatile oil that is a compatible carrier for the PSA can be used. Examples of useful oils for this purpose include both cyclic and linear silicones, such as octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane(cyclomethicones); or straight or branched chain hydrocarbons having from 8-20 carbon atoms, such as decane, dodecane, tridecane, tetradecane, and C8-20 isoparaffins. Particularly preferred for this purpose are volatile dimethicones, cyclomethicones, and isododecane, either alone or in combination. To form the lip product base, the PSA, either in dry form, or in its commercially available fluid form, can be simply combined with the solvent and mixed to homogeneity at room temperature; however, mixing at higher temperatures, up to the boiling point of the materials, is also acceptable. The proportions of each component are not particularly critical; typically, the PSA is used in an amount of about 1 to about 50%, preferably about 5 to about 30% (solids content) by weight of the total composition, and the volatile solvent is present in an amount of about 5 to about 95% by weight, preferably about 20 to about 80%. The composition can also contain a plasticizer, a liquid silicone compatible ester, such as dioctyl malate, a fluid high molecular weight hydrocarbon, or a nonvolatile silicone having a viscosity ranging anywhere from 100 to 10,000,000 cs, in an amount of no more than about 20%, preferably about 1 to about 10% by weight.
Although the PSA-volatile solvent combination represent the components of the lip product base needed to achieve long wear and transfer resistance, it will ordinarily be desirable to provide additional components to add further functionality and/or aesthetics to the product. When the product is to be a lipstick, it will typically contain a certain amount of pigment. Any type of pigment, provided it is acceptable for use in the lip area, and with or without surface treatment, can be used in the product of the invention: examples of useful pigments include iron oxides (yellow, red, brown or black), titanium dioxide(white), zinc oxide, chrome oxide(green), chrome hydrate(green), ultramarines, manganese violet, ferric ferrocyanide, carmine 40, ferric ammonium ferrocyanide, or combinations thereof. Interference pigments, which are thin platelike layered particles having a high refractive index, which, at a certain thickness, produce interference colors, resulting from the interference of typically two, but occasionally more, light reflections, from different layers of the plate, can also be added to provide a pearlescence to the product, if such is desired.
Organic pigments may also optionally be included; these include natural colorants and synthetic monomeric and polymeric colorants. Exemplary are phthalocyanine blue and green pigment, diarylide yellow and orange pigments, and azo-type red and yellow pigments such as toluidine red, litho red, naphthol red and brown pigments. Also useful are lakes, which are pigments formed by the precipitation and absorption of organic dyes on an insoluble base, such as alumina, barium, or calcium hydrates. Particularly preferred lakes are primary FD&C or D&C Lakes and blends thereof. Stains, such as bromo dyes and fluorescein dyes can also be employed. Pigments when used are typically present in an amount of about 0.1 to about 30%, preferably about 0.1 to about 20%, by weight of the composition.
It is also possible to employ one or more cosmetic powders, for example, bismuth oxychloride, boron nitride, silica, polymethylmethacrylates, acrylates, kaolin, silk powder, nylon, barium sulfate, mica, sericite, muscovite, synthetic mica, titanium oxide coated mica, titanium oxide coated bismuth oxychloride, titanium oxide coated talc, platelet iron oxides, metal powders such as aluminum, lauroyl lysine, platelet talc and the like. If powders are used, the combined total of pigments plus powders will ordinarily be about 1 to about 30%, preferably, 0.1 to about 20%.
To enhance the aesthetics of the product, it is may be desired to incorporate a rheological modifier or oil-gelling material, i.e., an oil-soluble material that will modify the viscosity of the oil to the level desired in the final product. Examples of useful oil rheological modifiers or gellants include trihydroxystearin, dextrin fatty acid esters, such as dextrin palmitate; cholesterol and derivatives, such as lanosterol, silicone gellants, such as organopolysiloxane elastomers; oil soluble cellulose derivatives, such as ethyl cellulose, and polymers or mixed copolymers, such as ethylene/methacrylic acid copolymer, ethylene/acrylic acid copolymer, organo-clays, such as bentone, polyamides(amine-terminated, ester-terminated, acid-terminated, silicone-modified and tertiary amine terminated), N-acyl amino acids, and esters or amides thereof, 12-hydroxystearic acid and esters or amides thereof, alkylamides of di- and tricarboxylic acids, or polyethylene. The amount of the viscosity modifier, if used, is from about 0.5 to about 30%, preferably about 2 to about 10%, depending upon the nature of the gellants, and the desired end viscosity. These gellants in the indicated amounts will produce a flowable, soft gel product.
In an alternate embodiment, it may be desirable to confer structure on the composition. In such a case, the composition may contain wax or other structuring agents, so as to provide a self-supporting structure, e.g., a soft solid or stick product. Preferred structuring agents are waxes such as microcrystalline wax, beeswax, ozokerite, or ceresin, that are capable of structuring the volatile carrier. In some cases, the viscosity modifiers can also function as structuring agents, when used at higher levels or in higher molecular weight forms than in their use as viscosity modifiers. Examples of other structuring agents include, but are not limited to, polyamides, N-acyl amino acids or esters and amides thereof, polyethylene waxes, polybutene, or polyisobutene. These structuring agents may be used individually, or in combination. To form a solid, the structuring agent will generally be used in an amount of about 1 to about 50% by weight, preferably about 5 to about 30%, by weight of the composition.
The composition can also include other optional components that are traditionally included in lip products. For example, the composition may contain emollients, moisturizers, biologically active components, sunscreens or UV-absorbers, skin conditioners, such as skin lipids, emulsifiers, antioxidants, preservatives, and the like
The composition will normally be anhydrous, but in certain embodiments may also contain some water. A preferred form of water-containing composition is a water-in-oil emulsion or dispersion. When an emulsion is prepared, there will preferably be present an appropriate emulsifier, for example, silicone copolyols, such as dimethicone copolyol or cetyl dimethicone copolyol, in order to enhance the stability of the composition.
The composition as described above can be used alone as a lipstick, lip gloss or lip balm. The film provided by such a composition is very flexible and non-drying, and therefore more comfortable, than previously available long wearing lip products. In most embodiments of the invention, the product will normally be liquid to pasty in texture, and therefore can be applied to the lips with a sponge, brush, or other implement appropriate to application of a product of this texture, although when in solid form it will be applied as usual with products of this type. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the PSA-containing composition is used as a base coat for the lips, in combination with a separate top coat. The purpose of the top coat is to provide a glossy or shiny finish to the base coat, without disrupting the base coat's integrity. The top coat of the present invention must be sufficiently incompatible with the base coat, so as to not dissolve and thereby disturb the fastness of the base coat, and insoluble in water to prevent wear loss. To accomplish this, the top coat comprises as an essential element a primary component that is not soluble in either water or a non-polar hydrocarbon such as mineral oil. Such materials provide the right balance between incompatibility and adhesion with the base coat. Examples of such materials include, but are not limited to nonvolatile polar esters or oils, such as castor oil, or vegetable oils, poly(propylene glycol adipate), poly(2-methyl-1,3-propanediol adipate), or certain urethanes, such as octyldodecyl alcohol dimer/isophorone diisocyanate or isostearyl alcohol dimer/isophorone diisocyanate, or combinations thereof. The amount of "incompatible material" will depend upon the intended form of the final product. Like the base coat, the top coat can be either a flowable liquid or pasty product, or a soft solid or stick. Overall the amount of "incompatible material" can constitute from about 5 to about 99% of the top coat; for a flowable liquid or pasty product, the amount will preferably be about 50 to about 99%, and for a stick or solid, from 5 to about 50%, by weight of the top coat composition. As with the base coat, the top coat can comprise a viscosity modifier to produce a liquid or pasty product, or a structuring agent to form a soft solid or stick. The viscosity modifiers and structuring agents for the top coat can be selected from the same groups as for the base coat, depending upon the compatibility and gelling capabilities with regard to the chosen "incompatible material".
The top coat, like the base coat, will normally be anhydrous, but like the base coat, can also be an emulsion. Similarly, the top coat may contain the same types of optional components as the base coat, such as emollients, moisturizers, skin conditioners and the like, as well as gloss enhancing agents. The top coat may also contain pigments. The top coat is used in conjunction with the base coat as a two-part system. In normal application, the user applies the base coat to the lips, and allows the base coat to dry for a minute or two, thereby setting the durable film. When the base coat is dry the top coat is applied over the base coat, providing a shiny or glossy surface to enhance the appearance of the base coat. Each component can be provided as a separate item, for example, the top coat in a stick container and the base coat in a wand-type applicator suitable for pasty products, or each may be provided in separate pots or other applicators suitable for application of fluid products or stick products. In most cases, it will be preferred to provide the two components together in the same package, as part of a unified system or kit. In one such embodiment, each product can be provided as part of the same unit, i.e., a double-ended applicator containing separate reservoirs for each product. Possible variations of the proposed system will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art.
The invention is further illustrated by the following non-limiting examples.
This example provides formulations exemplifying the base coat of the present invention.
This example provides formulations exemplifying the top coat of the present invention.

Stripped, the comics documentary, hits iTunes, earns all my love!
Calvin and Hobbes, Bloom County, Peanuts, Doonsbury, The Far Side — these were the works that helped inform much of my childhood and adult life. What they managed to capture in few panels and words resonated as deeply as books and speeches and song. They said funny things, important things, silly things, true things. They made me think and they made me feel. They were art in every sense of the word, and commentary and escapism. They've continued to be all that and more as print has faded and the web has provided an even larger, even more accessible platform. And Stripped, the incredible documentary by Dave Kellett and Frederick Schroeder that covers that transition, has collected the pioneers of the industry, of all generations, together for an unprecedented set of interviews, and a peek inside how and why it matters so much to so many of us. Check out the blurb below for all the details, then go grab it — and gift it if the mood strikes you! — on iTunes. It really deserves our support.

STRIPPED is a love-letter to comic strips. It brings together the world's best cartoonists to talk about the art form they love, and what happens to it as newspapers die. Over 90 interviews were conducted, including the first-ever audio interview withBill Watterson (Calvin & Hobbes), as well as Jim Davis (Garfield), Cathy Guisewite(Cathy), Mort Walker (Beetle Bailey), Mike & Jerry (Penny Arcade), Matt Inman (The Oatmeal), Jeff Keane (The Family Circus), Ryan North (Dinosaur Comics), Lynn Johnston (FBOFW), Zach Weiner (SMBC), Scott Kurtz (PvP), Scott McCloud(Understanding Comics), Richard Thompson (Cul de Sac), Jeph Jacques(Questionable Content), Stephan Pastis (Pearls Before Swine), Bill Amend (Foxtrot), Kate Beaton (Hark! A Vagrant) and more. STRIPPED sits down with these creators to talk about how cartooning works, why it's so loved, and how they're navigating this dicey period between print and digital options...when neither path works perfectly.

Stripped, the comics documentary, hits iTunes, earns all my love!
I was given the complete collection as a gift a few years ago. I treasure them. That Waterson agreed to be interviewed for this documentary is insanely great.
I'm so happy that he agreed to that. And not just him, but all the other comic artists who also agreed to interviews. It's fascinating to hear from these people that poured their hearts and soul into these comics I grew up reading and felt a connection with that made me feel like each comic was written specifically for me. I know that sounds all sappy and whatnot, but that's truly how I feel. It's the same kind of connection you get from a long running tv series that's ending (ie HIMYM) or a book series that's come to a close (ie Harry Potter). It must be a strange feeling for these artists to see the medium that brought their comics to life and introduced them to the world is going out of business. Contrasted with the artists of web comics who are welcoming this change as it is giving them the chance to open up their work to a huge audience that a newspaper may not be able to reach. It's fascinating to think about and I probably wouldn't have found this movie had you not posted it, Rene.
This movie is only available on iTunes USA

Bristol Post Business Awards: Judges face tough choices
Posted: May 14, 2014|
WOW! This is my first year involved in the Bristol Post Business Awards and, after the deadline for entries closed last week, "wow" about sums it up.
I'd like to thank the 96 who invested the time to enter. I say invested because it is an investment in your business.
Some of you will find yourselves featured in these pages, as Specsavers and Barber Brown are today.
Many of you will be shortlisted for the awards and join us at Brunel's Old Station for what I'm sure will be a great celebration of all that Bristol is achieving in business.
And at least 15 of you will walk away winners. One will be crowned overall winner. Last year that honour went to Wessex Garages and, speaking at the launch of this year's awards, managing director Keith Brock said they had calculated the PR value alone of the coverage at £30,000. But the bigger benefit was in the credibility the award lent his brand.
So while it may have taken a little time – and yes one or two of you have mentioned to me how long the application took you to fill in – it should be worthwhile.
We introduced a new creative and technology category this year and, personally, I've been delighted to see a great representation from the tech sector in the submissions across a number of categories. Companies such as Neighbourly, Webstart, Fundsurfer, Mubaloo and Meals.co.uk.
It's great to see the entrepreneurial spirit alive and well too.
I love writing about entrepreneurs because they are always passionate about their work.
People such as James Laing of fast expanding restaurant chain Hotcha or Tony and Bev Driffield who have grown Mama Bear's Nursery in 10 years to 19 sites.
Reflecting that, the start-up and small business categories look like being among the most competitive. Customer service will be hotly contested too.
And in case you're wondering, I feel safe naming names because I have no involvement in nor influence over the judges. I don't envy their task though, not just because of all those detailed submissions we asked for, but primarily because, with so many first class candidates, it will be very tough to pick the winners.

Back from The Baja!!
Wow!! What a beautiful place. Our gracious friends Deb and Harold here in Breckenridge invited us to join them on a trip to Cabo san Lucas, Mexico. Not only did we enjoy beautiful sun and sand and the amazingly clear waters of the Sea of Cortez, but wonderful seafood and much yummy tequila! We even coined a new phrase in Spanish, no less. When being asked how we were upon our return to the resort one evening the response was: "Muy tequila" I suppose your average tourist would just say "muy bien"… I could try to blame it on my friend Kristie, next to door to French Kiss at The Breckenridge Bead Gallery, who recommended a 'lil place called The Office – cool beach bar! But nobody forced us to go now, did they??!!:)
One outstanding experience was an evening at click here; Flora's Farm ; fantastic restaurant, farm, bar, gardens full of delicious home-grown produce and flowers, every inch and morsel=perfection!
I have included the link and encourage everyone to take their time perusing the site and getting to know this wonderful, at least from afar. You'll want to hop on plane!!
Ahh well, back to reality! Kids didn't burn the house down or kill each other, Bear is looking no worse for the experience and French Kiss and Breckenridge look the same=wonderful!
Mother's Day
Just a quickie today:
Have to wish all the wonderful Mom's out there a wonderful Mother's Day with much love and joy, some extra special attention because they deserve it and, of course; always important in my book: something yummy!!
Somewhere yesterday, I believe, I read this;
Treat Mom to a margarita (other nice drink; insert her fav) because, after all, you're probably the reason she drinks!
Fr x's to all – Anita
Really getting into Clints (on Main Street Breckenridge)!!!
With Starbucks remodeling across the street from us (French Kiss) – we have been forced out of our comfort zone (read: regular daily pattern). We have tried Cool River Café; excellent baked goods and of course the "grateful wrap". Cuppa Joe with it's brilliant ice cream flavors and stunningly beautiful, hand crafted lattes is never a bad choice!! Twin Moose, although a yoghurt shop, does fantastically, tasty coffee. We have always been devotees of the French bakery; La Francaise. The omelets, crepes and of course the pastries are superb! Of late we've been going to Clint's a lot and in addition to the excellent coffee the bagels ( especially with lox n capers=oh yeah!!!) are delish – we love the raspberry, green tea muffin!:) as well!
So many yummy choices…
Thanks Main Street Breckenridge and Ridge Street for being so delish!!
French Kiss
Spring has Sprung
Bear and Russ along the same stretch of the Blue River in Breckenridge Colorado the very next day!:) (check out yesterday's pics!! in comparison!!): "The last snow before Spring?!" see below.

"We shall prevail!"
We are so totally not slapping on a pair of red short-shorts and tossing a sledgehammer through your screen; everyone knows hunters can't equip maces. /pfft
And now, let's talk about what could be coming to hunters on the next public test realm as if we're not hopped up on Captain Crunch and a triple raspberry latte.
The hunter-forums are ablaze with irate masses, shrieking their throats raw over the proposed class-changes scheduled for the next Public Test Realm deployment. In our very humble opinion, they have every right to be, and it's all Ghostcrawler's fault. But not for the reason you think.
BRK's Exhibit A: "TO THE GROUND, BABY"
This statement was made by the defendant, coming off the phenomenal experiment that was Overpowered Retribution Paladin on the WotLK beta. Ret pallys were destroying anything and everything in their path. It was a beta; nobody should've cared that adjustments were to be made to DPS and healing. And they wouldn't have, if GC hadn't poked the gorilla.
It's called Diplomacy, and right now, the game masters who post on the forums at Blizzard need a crash-course in it. One would think that from the debacle that was the Rep Pally Smackdown, the developers would've learned their lesson. Nope.
BRK's Exhibit B: "I'm a game designer. I'm not a PR guy, which I think is pretty evident from my posts. :) "
That's one great big tall frosty glass of "DUH", right there. You've got a community of eleven million players, don't you think that you need to have someone with training propped up there to interact with them? WoW is bigger than Portugal (pop. 10.6 million) for cryin' out loud! Do you think the government of Greece (population 11.2 million) goes around and delivers bad news by way of a blog post?
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Occupant of Greece. The government is raising your taxes by 170%. Sorry you're upset, but we're not government officials; we're game designers! Hasta!"
Don't think so, that's not how the pros do it. The time has come for Blizz to knuckle down and realize that the language they use to communicate to each other with internal projects is not the same in which they should educate their customers as to future plans. And if you know you're not trained to do the task, either get some education or hire someone who has the skills already.
Notice that we're not upset with the message yet, arguing that hunters aren't over-powered? We'll get there, hold on. But first, if we're going to point out a problem, it is proper etiquette to attempt to solve it, too.

Dr. Wayne Sehmish was pastor of the Good Shepherd Baptist Church for twelve years. Then he felt God's call to Thailand to train national pastors and reach the lost. He spoke with The Baptist Voice about his unusual calling, his family, and their new ministry.
What has shaped your passion for people?
I think for me I have a continuing awareness of the grace of God in my life. I was a rough product. My family was not saved. I reflect on how God has worked patiently with me, even when I was zealous without knowledge, particularly in my early years. Because I feel very much aware of that, I want to extend the same mercy to others.
There was a lot of trauma in my life, but those experiences have softened me to understand that everyone has hurts. Sin is always sin, but I understand that many things are an outworking of people's pain. We want to correct the sin, but with compassion. When people have strong compassion, it is usually because their own hearts have been broken.
How did the church respond when you announced that you were leaving for Thailand?
People didn't want me to go, but they were not surprised. They had seen it lead up to that. God provided a good pastor, a young man whom I had trained in the church, Nathan Lloyd, who is doing a great job now. I always believed that if God was in it, then it would be a win for the church and a win for Thailand. The day we told the church was still a very sad day. People cried, and I was sad. I loved the people of Good Shepherd Baptist Church, and I still love them. If I am ever blessed to have a church like that again, it would be special.
Were there people who misunderstood your decision?
Most were supportive, but one or two questioned the decision. A dear man whom I love said to me, "Don't go. You're leaving the will of God. What about us?" But I think that was just his pain. He didn't want to lose me. He came back afterward and said, "Pastor, I'm sorry," and we prayed together.
I think people questioned it because that is not the normal thing to do—to walk away from a church of that influence. When you make a decision like that, it is easier to look back and say, "I can really see the hand of God in it." You don't always see it as clearly in the beginning.
How did your family react to the move?
I gave our two oldest children the option of staying in Australia or coming with us. They really agonized over it. It was particularly painful for my oldest son. He had grown up with me in the church. Every Sunday morning he and I would have breakfast in my office before I preached.
I will never forget driving up the street to the airport. He was standing on the sidewalk looking at us in disbelief with tears rolling down his face. It was a very hard time for him. He had to adjust to a new pastor. He was almost embittered toward Thailand, thinking, "You have taken my family and my life." If I had to do it again, I would have taken him with us.
How has missions in Australia changed over the years?
Years ago, our independent Baptist churches were dominated by American missionaries. I remember when I first went into the ministry, I attended a pastors' meeting where sixteen of the eighteen pastors were American missionaries. It put something in me and I thought, "This has to change. We [Australians] need to be leading our churches." Missionaries need to get a mindset to train nationals, hand over the churches, and move on to do it again.
Tell us about Thailand.
We have been there nearly three years. We have converts and are working with local churches and pastors there. Missionaries have been going to Thailand for about 200 years, but with respect to the sacrifices of those who have gone before, there is not a lot to see for all of the labor. Right now, the population is about 96% Buddhist and 3% Muslim. They have been very resistant to missionary endeavors. There is a handful of Baptist churches in Thailand for a population of sixty million, and most of those are small and struggling.
There are not that many missionaries in Thailand, but out of those who are there, I estimate about 40% don't work with Thai people. They work with Burmese people on the border or in printing. Our goal is to work to set up a training place where we can train men and send them out to plant churches. I think God is going to do something there, and I appreciate people praying about that.

The First True Animation…EVER.
In 1911, artist Winsor McCay directed a silent short film (below) that detailed the behind-the-scenes process of creating one of the most popular comic books of the time, "Little Nemo". The film is mainly made up of Winsor drawing his iconic characters…but if you skip ahead to about 8:11, you can see what experts say is the first true animation ever created.

Thanks for catching the mistake. It's been fixed.
That's correct, and that's what makes it so ridiculous. He basically played that season without a back-up. His average was 40.3 minutes for conference play because of a few overtime games. http://www.rolltide.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/steele_ronald00.html
I'm not a moderator, so I don't delete comments myself. If you see some you think are inappropriate, you can alert our moderation team with the "Alert us" link under every comment. I will say that comments directly attacking another school, coach or player stand a much better chance of being zapped. We'd much rather have thoughtful discussion of the issues than rampant name-calling and insults.
There's a more detailed game recap from today's paper online now.
The John Archibald column I linked to at the beginning contains a lot of those details. We also just got word that the City Council approved the plan, so you can expect more news on that shortly.
I neglected to mention her in the story, but Lisa Michitti Cross runs the group's Twitter feed. If you're into the Twitter, you can follow the group @Toomers4Ttown.
Les Miles could never coach high school. The grass tastes completely different at that level.
Still a lot to be determined there. Calloway wants to play running back and legend has it he was promised a shot there. If I had to put on my Kreskin hat and try to predict the future, I'd say Calloway spends 2011 at running back, either redshirting or obliterating people on special teams coverage. Then in 2012, he sees the LB depth chart open up after Upshaw, Hightower, etc. move on and decides that Saban was right after all when he said Calloway projected best as a linebacker. That's all just speculation on my part though.
Tana Patrick is No. 2. You can see him running drills in the video. So far, I would guess he just hasn't been able to crack through the established players on the depth chart. He's one of the guys I'll keep an eye out for on A-Day to see if he's running with the 2s or even 3s.
Well, Jones did have 78 catches last year, more than Maze (38) and Hanks (32) combined. I think saying he will be missed is a fair statement.
Thanks, Phase. Kevin's column runs Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. He may well write on this tomorrow, but the topics of his columns are up to him. He may choose something else since Solomon wrote about UA hoops this morning.
I tend to agree about JaMychal and Tony needing to stay another year. That doesn't mean they will. I thought Eli Millsap needed more time at UAB last year. He skipped his senior season, went undrafted and now he's in the D-League.
Assuming they do come back though, it's easy to see UA being pretty good next year. If Randolph, Cooper or maybe Trevor Lacey can provide some scoring kick and outside shooting from the 2-3 positions, Releford, Mitchell and Green are a really solid core.
Obviously, I never meant to equate a dying tree to our veterans. However, people clearly have strong feelings about these trees and I was merely asking them to post those feelings here for others to see.
We compiled both lists the same way, afanman. We only used Rivals.com info on prospects who weren't included in our rankings. That's mostly players from outside the southeast and junior college players. Clinton-Dix and Hart were ranked (and very highly, I might add) on the Press-Register's Super Southeast 120, so we listed that ranking instead of borrowing the Rivals.com ranking.
Auburn also has two more commits taking the field today in the Super 6, Sammie Coates from Leroy (3 pm) and Jaylon Denson from Hoover (7 p.m.). Those videos will be posted later tonight.
I just looked it up out of curiosity and five Alabama rookies have STARTED at least one game in the NFL this year (McClain (11 starts), Jackson (12), Arenas (2), Deaderick (4), Cody(1)). With all those losses, preseason expectations may have been a tad too high for the Tide.
I thought I was pretty clear on that point when I said, "I don't pretend to know what happened with Newton's recruitment or what the NCAA ruling will be."
"Make sure to include your first name and location. All comments will be moderated before appearing on the live site."
Oops. Thanks for the catch, AUFan. Auburn actually leads the series 53-52-8. The PDF will be corrected shortly.
Thank you for alerting us to the error. It's been fixed and the links in this post now take you to the updated version.
We'll have it every Friday, usually by lunchtime.

Becky's Bender: GES Latin America Nightlife Recommendations
It may seem like all the iGaming fun takes place in London, the center of the iGaming universe, but let's not forget about Central America, home to many of the old school wild, wild Westers, online sportsbook legends and some other really shady mother f'ers!
The sheer amount of iGaming folk in Central America and the growth of the Spanish markets in Latin America make Panama a perfect location for a gathering of experts on this region and for those who want to learn more. To satisfy the need, The Gaming Executive Summit (GES) Latin America is taking place from February 22-24 in Panama City, an urban area that enjoys a direct comparison to Miami's South Beach, so clearly the nightlife after the conference hours will be hoppin'.
If you're planning on attending this event, GES organizers have arranged a cocktail hour at the conclusion of Day One and are in the process of planning an official party for later in the evening, so stay tuned to Becky's Bender for more details. In the meantime, I've spoken with two Panama City nightlife experts- Jorge Barahona and JD- to bring you the very best recommendations for this buzzing Latin American city.
Pangea Restaurant (Mixed Menu)
This restaurant is located in a remodeled old colonial house in which each room has a different theme and decoration- the Singapore, Rio de Janerio, Bombay, Nairobi, Marraksh, and the Habana room. The food and drinks are excellent and you can enjoy live tango shows on Fridays and Brazilian events on Saturdays.
Orale Restaurant (Mexican Food)
Orale is a very "entertaining" restaurant with live Mariachis and Mexican cultural icons pictured on the walls such as El Chavo, the Chapulin Colorado and even clown midgets!
El Trapiche (Panamanian Food)
This restaurant is the best in the city if you want to have a taste of a traditional Panamanian dish.
Beirut (Lebanese Food)
One of the best restaurants in Panama, hands down. Enjoy an excellent meal, a smoke from a Hookah and Lebanese dancers and singers on Saturdays and Sundays. Highly recommended.
Superbook Sports Bar (American Food)
Superbook is the perfect place for all sports fans. Enjoy the best buffalo wings and burgers in town while watching sports on one of the 27 HD screens. Patrons can also place bets on any sport game or event.
Market (Mixed Menu)
Very popular restaurant in Panama City, highly recommended.
Hard Rock Cafe Panama
Always a great place to hang out and listen some good old rock and roll and on Fridays there is an excellent live cover band.
Manrey Hotel Rooftop Pool Bar
This place is just amazing- great music and design. Highly recommended.
Superbook Sports Bar
After all the games are over, Superbook transforms from a Sports Bar to a Disco Bar with a complete set of lights, sound system, DJ booth and live shows.
La Rana Dorada – The Golden Frog
A good old-fashioned Irish Pub in downtown Panama. Good costumer service and great imported beers.
La Bodegita VIP
La Bodegita is one of the most famous clubs in the city and legendary for its beautiful women and every day party. The club is open every day of the week and it is pretty much guaranteed that you will have a good time every time you go.
Calle Uruguay
Calle Uruguay is an avenue with more than 20 bars and discos and is a great place to go clubbing (and eating- there are tons of restaurants around here as well).
Zona Viva
Zona Viva is the newest hot spot where everyone is going. The club is located in Amador which used to be American controlled territory and now is a boulevard with over 14 discos and constant events featuring international DJ's and musicians.
The girls working in the strip joints+ are Colombian, Panamanian and Russian and there are three places worth visiting if you're into this kind of thing:
Elite Club
A Central American Franchise with branches in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras and Panama.
Le Palace
French Canadian atmosphere.
Cotton Club
This is by far and away the most fancy and complete night club and disco of Panama with limousine service and several restaurants inside. Oh yea, and nice looking girls too.

COVINGTON - A 15-year-old student from Sharp Learning Center was arrested at Veterans Memorial Middle School on Monday after he struck the school's principal, according to the Newton County Sheriff's Office.NCSO spokesman Lt. Mark Mitchell said the student had apparently been suspended from Sharp, but boarded a bus late in the afternoon that was on the way to Veterans to take students home. "He wasn't supposed to be on the bus in the first place," Mitchell said. Upon the student's arrival at the middle school, which was in the midst of dismissal, Mitchell said he began a verbal altercation with some students that looked as though it was turning into a physical altercation. When Principal Eric Arena intervened in the conflict, he was struck in the face, Mitchell said. The student was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, affray, disruption of the operation of a public school, criminal trespass and battery on a school administrator. Mitchell said no charges were brought against any other students. Newton County Schools' Director of Pubic Relations Sherri Viniard said the student would have a tribunal hearing. "Fortunately, Mr. Arena was not injured," she said. In other school news: · A school resource officer at Alcovy High School was notified Tuesday that a student had made threatening statements to a male teacher. Mitchell said while out on the practice field, the teacher had had to discipline the 16-year-old, who retorted with the threat. He was arrested and charged with making terroristic threats. · An administrator at Newton High School was given a tip Wednesday that a 16-year-old student was involved in a theft. Mitchell said when the administrator searched the student's vehicle, a box cutter was discovered. The student was subsequently charged with carrying a weapon on school property. No theft charge was made against the student. · A resource officer at Eastside High School received a tip Tuesday that a student was carrying a rifle in his vehicle, Mitchell said. When the student's truck was searched, no rifle was found; however, what Mitchell described as a "machete-like" knife was found in the truck. Nathaniel Lee Morrow, 17, of Covington was arrested and charged with carrying weapons on school property. · An Alcovy High School resource officer was tipped off Thursday that a student possibly had a gun in his car. "An administrator got the student out of class and a search of his vehicle produced a black and silver firearm," Mitchell said, adding that it turned out to be a BB gun, but under the law it still constitutes a weapon because it has a spring-action. The 16-year-old student was arrested and charged with carrying weapons on school property. · The principal of Sharp Learning Center saw a student with a pocket knife, showing it to other students at the school, Mitchell said. The principal alerted the school resource officer who located the student and searched him. The knife was discovered in the 13-year-old's pocket. He was taken into custody and charged with disruption of a public school and carrying weapons on school property. Staff Reporter Michelle Floyd contributed to this story. Barbara Knowles can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

i went to this dinner for a sunday brunch with my girl friend. she had a veggie burger and i order pancakes and eggs. service was pretty slow even though the restaurant was less then full. when we finally got our food that was the last time we saw our server until the bill. veggie burger was good but the breakfast was not. pancakes weren't cooked all the way and potatoes tasted funny. when i told my waitress about less then satisfactory food sorry and left the table. not pleased with that response i paid the bill and asked to speak to the manager. however, even the manager made me feel as though i was trying to get a free meal although all the food that i ordered was still right in front of me and my bill was already paid. over all, with plenty of great dining experiences to be had in chicago, i wouldn't recommend this one to a friend.

Consistently good food, plenty of variety. Consistently poor, slow service.

Great burgers, fantastic German Pancakes, (especially the ones with the apples.) Oh my, you should EAT!
Posted by Megan on 09/23/2008
It must be admitted the portions at Clarke's are generous, and any attempt at the "diner" feel is fine for the morning after. But beware both the meal service (slow and inattentive, even when relatively empty on a Sunday morning) and the checkout rules and regs they won't do the math for dividing checks, and will offer you a calculator to work it out yourself. Much better brunch in the neighborhood for the money, without a doubt.

I love love love this place for their fluffy omlettes. They are huge and come with greta bread and freshly chopped fruit. Seriously, they are the best in Chicago. Service can be kind of slow if it's at a crazy time, but the staff is attentive. The prices are very reasonable. Also, their salads are very good and also huge.
Posted by Panhandle Pete on 07/20/2006
The food is fine but budget about 2 hours if you go after 2 AM!
Posted by Anonymous on 02/25/2006
I've been here many times, and not just when it was the only place open. It's got a good selection, relatively good prices, and it's open all the time. The baked apple pancakes are great.

Atlanta, GA (SportsNetwork.com) - The Oakland Athletics have placed infielder Jed Lowrie on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured right index finger.
Lowrie had been day-to-day since suffering the injury on Aug. 4 during a game against the Tampa Bay Rays. He missed Thursday's game against the Royals.
Lowrie is hitting .238 with five home runs and 42 RBI in 110 games this season.
The A's recalled infielder Andy Parrino from Triple-A Sacramento to take Lowrie's spot on the roster. Parrino has played in five games with Oakland this year.

Not everyone is in love with Kanye West's "Theraflu."
While Yeezy's fans are fawning over his new track, PETA (or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) took exception to the song's hook. "Someone tell PETA my mink is draggin' on the floor," Kanye spits in the song's opening bars and then again on the chorus.
Well, the animal-rights organization heard the Louis Vuitton Don loud and clear and fired back with a message of their own on Thursday (April 5). "What's draggin' on the floor is Kanye's reputation as a man with no empathy for animals or human beings," PETA's senior vice president Dan Mathews said to MTV News in a statement. "He's a great musician but doesn't seem to have the fashion sense to design anything more than caveman costumes."
Seems like PETA also caught wind of 'Ye's fashion outing in early March when he presented his fall/winter collection during Paris Fashion Week; the rapper used quite a bit of fur in his women's line.
PETA hasn't closed the door completely on Kanye, however. They're still hopeful that he will eventually have a change of heart. "We keep hoping that one day he'll find his heart and join evolved style icons — including Russell Simmons, Pink and Natalie Portman — who have dropped animal skins," Mathews said.
The MC's fashion taste isn't the only topic addressed on "Theraflu." Kanye touches on his ex-girl Amber Rose, Wiz Khalifa (Rose's new man), and his feelings for Kim Kardashian. "The whole industry wanna f— ya old chick/ Only n—a I got respect for is Wiz/ And I'll admit I fell in love with Kim/ Around the same time she had fell in love with him," Kanye spits over the Hit-Boy-produced beat.
He even threw a perceived shot a Kim's ex-husband and New Jersey Nets star, Kris Humphries: "Lucky I ain't have Jay drop him from the team."

Blind Source Separation and Independent Component Analysis
Thursday 10 July 2008, 1130-1230
C60 InfoLab21
The seminar will present theoretical developments in the area of blind source separation (BSS), also known as independent component analysis (ICA).
BSS and ICA address those situations where mixtures of a set of unknown source signals are available and the problem is to extract the original source signals from these observed mixtures without the knowledge of the mixing matrix.
In the case of linear, instantaneous mixtures, the received signals, y, can be written as y = A*x, where x represents the unknown original source signals and A is the unknown mixing matrix. It will be demonstrated that independent source signals can be extracted using higher-order statistics (HOS).
BSS and ICA have many potential applications in diverse fields. The seminar will present theoretical developments as well as examples of simulation, demonstration, and real-world examples.
