Dear Margo: When You Live on a One-Way Street
Why are family relationships so hard? Margo Howard's advice
When You Live on a One-Way Street
Dear Margo: My patience has run out with the three living members of my family. My father, his mother and my brother have gone through periods of not talking to each other or to me. My brother wants nothing to do with my father or our grandmother, both of whom dissed him throughout his life because of the wrongheaded idea that he came from our abusive, alcoholic mother's affair. My brother, now a high-functioning recluse, has social anxiety and has started snapping at me and pulling away. I finally told him he could seek me out for a change, and I haven't heard from him since.
After seven years of estrangement, my father and I have been emailing for the past couple of years. (We bumped into each other in a store; if that hadn't happened, we probably still wouldn't be talking.) Unfortunately, he is passive-aggressive and capricious like his mother, whom I gave up contacting a decade ago.
The pattern I'm seeing is that I've had to seek these people out, and if I don't make the effort to call or email them, they feel no need to stay in touch with me. When I've brought up how they've hurt me, the response is defensive — or they just don't respond. (In contrast, I've listened to and apologized to them when they've brought up their grievances with me.)
I can't believe these three are the same people who doted on my daughter when she was born and, for the first few years, were involved in her life and mine. I have been closest with my brother, who formerly treated my daughter and me with the most affection, though he seems more and more like a stranger who doesn't want me in his life. My question is: Should I give up on the idea that I might ever have real relationships with any of them? — Like an Orphan
Dear Like: What can I say? You just didn't win the lottery for loving, warm relatives, and it sounds unlikely that anything's going to change. The handwriting is on the wall, and what it says is Dysfunction Beyond Repair. These people sound damaged, your brother especially. It seems to me that you should work at accepting the limitations you are up against and find succor from friends. Acceptance, I believe, is the key here. These are the cards you were dealt. I hope you can internalize that it was a bad break, but that's the way things are. — Margo, forwardly
When a Name or a Voice Is Androgynous
Dear Margo: I work in a professional office as the office manager. Sometimes I get calls from people and can't tell from their voices whether they are male or female. When the name is gender-neutral and I have to put the person on hold, upon return what is a gender-neutral greeting alternative to saying "ma'am" or "sir"? I hate picking up the phone and saying, "Hey…" I don't feel comfortable saying "Bobbie," either, as I will not call a client by his or her first name unless they invite me to. Might you have any suggestions? — Shannon in N.C.
Dear Shan: I must say your mention of gender-neutral names reminded me of the famous SNL skit about "Pat." I salute you for not addressing people by their first names. I myself find it kind of weird, if not presumptuous, when a stranger is on the other end of the line using my first name. (I also sometimes cannot peg a voice as a man's or a woman's.) To get around your dilemma, you might begin your return to the call with, "Hello again. Let's continue." — Margo, practically

Every great action story needs a villain, and every great action villain needs an enforcer. Going all the way back to the days of Beelzebub getting his hands dirty for the big man downstairs, right-hand men have been key to setting tremendous conflict into motion. Be it in District 9 or your classic Bond flick, these goons wreak varying degrees of havoc with motivations that range from personal vendettas to on-the-clock hooliganism.
In Neill Blomkamp's forthcoming action-thriller Elysium, Matt Damon's character Max will square off against one of the most cunning baddies to ever sleaze up the screen. So to commemorate the release of Columbia TriStar's sci-fi/action smash-up Elysium, opening in theaters on August 9th, we're stoked to present you with the seven greatest action movie enforcers.
What would happen if you had to deputize Patrick Bateman from American Psycho to get the job done? That is essentially the quandary posed and answered in Elysium when Jodie Foster's Secretary Delacourt must let Kruger out of his cage. As the most sadistic post-apocalyptic baddie this side of The Road Warrior, Sharlto Copley goes against type in this role, delivering a sinewy psycho whose sense of duty is outweighed by an oddly playful bloodlust. Despite the high-tech noodlery of the year 2154, Kruger proves that sometimes a nice, rusty machete is all a fella needs to take the edge off of a bad day at work.
You gotta be doing some serious henchman-ing to be considered the most ridiculous Bond villain. It just wasn't enough to just have the durability to survive falling out of a plane, driving off of a cliff and fighting off a shark based on brute strength alone; this guy needed to have a grill that would make Lil' Wayne blush on top of it! Pointlessly chewing his way out of situations and into our hearts, even Jaws could not survive Moonraker, which to this day serves as the apex of Bond franchise goofdickery next to that one with the voodoo and the chubby sheriff. It's amazing, given the array of Bond villains spoofed in the Austin Powers franchise, that Jaws never quite made the cut.
That whole horse-head-in-a-bed thing? Luca's handiwork. He may have been a towering, stuttering creep, but as Vito Corleone's undercover muscle, Brasi was a terrific iceman because he didn't require a crew to make a hit. Sadly, that whole lone wolf thing was precisely what lead to his downfall when three goons from the Sollozzo family saw to it that Luca slept with the fishes. Fun fact: On the low-key hired-killer tip, if you apply the lyrics of the Suzanne Vega song to this character, it kind of lines up: he doesn't want you asking about some kind of trouble, some kind of fight. Just don't ask him what it was.
Caddy. Cheaffeur. Assassin. Odd Job wore many hats, but the most useful of them all would have to be the one with the razor-brim on it. When he wasn't busy decapitating statues in Goldfinger's front yard, the dapper merc could be found enjoying his favorite hobbies: tenaciously following 007 around, accepting pain from 007 with menacing smirks and tending to his derby cap with shocking aplomb. They just don't make goons like this anymore; the guy helped his boss kill a woman by painting her to death. Sigh.
Karl, like most Germans, ist a herr who knows precisely what he wants. For example, in the great takeover of Nakatomi Plaza, after his brother Tony (?) has been brutally pwned by John McClane, Karl informs his compatriots "AAAAAARGH! I want blood!" While Karl, like most Germans, would likely have been extremely efficient at his job, he became that much more deft with a Steyr AUG rifle with the added incentive of avenging said mangled brother. But Karl, unlike most Germans, had a mullet so strong that it could resist getting lynched by industrial chains, only to have it blown clean off by Carl Winslow. Never work with family.
The bulldog of Multi-National United, Kobus tromps through the ghettos of District 9, gleefully keeping the weak and disadvantaged underfoot while on the clock. His villainy reaches near-comical heights, akin to the treacherous cheese of an 80's WWF antagonist, making him a perfect foil to the ebullient Wikus Van De Merwe. Despite keeping his cool in the line of duty, Koobus' urge to bully Wikus is exactly what makes him lose his head.
Unlike many of the brutal hatchet men on this list, Kobayashi is adept at the hands-off approach in carrying out the misdoings of his benefactor, the notorious Keyser Söze. An evil precursor to the sharp-tongued Dr. King Schultz of Django Unchained, Kobayashi delivers unflinching speeches that intimidate hardasses into backing down and scratching their heads. Just try to pin down that accent: is he Pakistani? Japanese? Irish? As the man himself said, "one cannot be betrayed if one has no people."

Happy birthday, Virginia Dare
North Carolina's most famous missing person just will not go away.
One main reason is the work of Chatham County's Marjorie Hudson, an award-winning writer and teacher of writing.
Ten years after the publication of the widely praised "Searching for Virginia Dare," that book is out again, this time revised to include reports of more travel and research relating to the Lost Colony.
When Hudson moved to North Carolina from the Midwest, she says that she had heard of Virginia Dare, "but I really had no idea of the weight and fascination the story would hold for me."
Most folks who grow up in North Carolina hear about and remember the story of the first child born to English parents in America. Some even remember the date: Aug. 18, 1587.
Happy 426th Birthday, Virginia Dare!
She, along with her parents and grandfather, were part of the group of colonists on Roanoke Island sponsored by Sir Walter Raleigh. Virginia's grandfather, John White, was governor of the small colony. His wonderful watercolors of the land and native peoples still show the world that surrounded little Virginia Dare. Shortly after Virginia's birth, White returned to England to collect supplies for the colony. Upon his return three years later, all the colonists, including his granddaughter, had disappeared and become what we call the Lost Colony.
Ever since, people have sought to find out what happened to them, hoping to find some happy ending, especially for Virginia, the lost baby girl, the lost child.
In "Searching for Virginia Dare" Hudson collected the facts, the legends, and the speculation about the fate of Virginia and the other colonists. She became recognized as a go-to person for information about the Lost Colony. But, she says, "I knew I wasn't done with this subject! There seems to have been an explosion of new research, and I guess I have been part of that. I visited the Elinor Dare stones in Georgia, tracked down Rosebud Fearing in Elizabeth City, I kept up with developments with recognition for the Lumbee people, I kept tabs on new archeological finds and research, and the Native American identity movement. I also traveled to Rome and uncovered more about the sculptor of the Virginia Dare Venus and her friendship with Nathaniel Hawthorne there, and I traveled to London and Oxford and was able to handle John White's amazing paintings and maps and Thomas Hariot's published work."
"Searching for Virginia Dare" contains a lot of good history, but also some of Hudson's fiction. Her very personal description of her journey reads like a memoir.
Hudson explains, "It comes down to this: I started with history, hit a wall, turned to fiction, then opened up to memoir. It became a kind of natural process in my note-taking, and an one point, I decided to include all the different layers, especially the personal story, because the Virginia Dare story has so many emotional ups and downs for me, and I guessed that others would respond to it that way too."
Whatever its genre, "Searching for Virginia Dare" is a gentle and satisfying read, a must for those who care about North Carolina's first lost child.
Celebrate Virginia Dare's birthday:
Wednesday at noon, Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh will host a Virginia Dare Birthday luncheon with Marjorie Hudson. To register, go to http://www.quailridgebooks.com/event/marjorie-hudson-virginia-dare-birthday-bash.
D.G. Martin hosts "North Carolina Bookwatch," which airs Sundays at noon and Thursdays at 5 p.m. on UNC-TV. For more information or to view prior programs visit the webpage at www.unctv.org/ncbookwatch. Sunday's guest is Susan Woodring, author of "Goliath."

Step 1: Fixings
Russian dressing
corned beef, either from the deli section or home made
butter for the bread
Swiss cheese
Step 2: Construction
Once you have your meat piled up get a slotted spoon and get some sauerkraut out pressing the spoon to squeeze some of the juice out. Spread some sauerkraut on top of the meat.
Liberally pour the Russian dressing over the sauerkraut.
Top with the swiss cheese and place another slice of buttered rye bread on top with the buttered side up.
My mouth is watering. Had not thought about making my own, but no more trouble than a grilled cheese. Thanks!
For those reading that don't have Russian dressing on hand. You have a couple options:
My simple way:
2:1 ratio Mayo to ketchup (or if you prefer Heinz chili sauce)
Feeling fancy way (I do it by taste so these are approximates):
1/2 c Mayo
1/4 c Ketchup
1 tsp Horseradish
1/2-1/4 tsp minced onion
punch/pinch of sugar
*Note: If use want to use onion powder conversions then try to let it sit for 30min to an hour
Premium way:
Look up the vast amount of 10+ ingredient recipes and follow them or... just buy the bottle. :)

Prince Dean Anderson
Police said a guest at a Johnson City residence made off with more than $1,000 worth of property, resulting in his recent arrest on a theft charge.
Prince Dean Anderson, 19, Johnson City, was invited to the residence and stole multiple items, police said in a news release.
A warrant for Anderson's arrest was placed on file and served Thursday when he was found. He was jailed in the Washington County Detention Center on $10,000 bond and arraigned Monday in Sessions Court.comments powered by Disqus

I distinctly remember the first time I heard of Ushahidi. It wasn't while visiting my family in Nairobi amidst the tragic election-violence but rather a week later and on the opposite side of the planet.
I was in Dili, Timor-Leste, working with a local NGO to set up a community-based conflict early warning system funded by the International Forum for Election Systems (IFES). The latter had supported the deployment of an election-violence monitoring system but with the elections now over, the donor wanted to transition the initiative to a broad-based conflict early warning system.
This conflict early warning project was directly tied to my work with the Program on Crisis Mapping and Early Warning (CM&EW) at the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative (HHI). Our donor, Humanity United (HU), was particularly interested in exploring alternative approaches to conflict early warning and the Timor project presented an excellent opportunity try something new.
Soon after my arrival, I received an email from HU with news that a Kenyan group had set up a platform to crowdsource human rights abuses. The donor was thinking of providing Ushahidi with some initial seed money so they asked me to get in touch with the team to find out more. Needless to say, I was immediately impressed.
One of the reasons I'm excited about joining the core Ushahidi team at this time is because two other colleagues have just joined as well: Caleb Bell and Brian Herbert. Caleb is a first-rate graphics designer and Brian a top-notch software developer. We've already had some great conversations with the rest of the awesome Ushahidi team and we're all eager to hit the road running. In fact, we've got loads of really exciting developments in the pipeline and can't wait to roll them out!
My role at Ushahidi will focus on Crisis Mapping, Swift River and Strategic Partnerships. In terms of crisis mapping, I'll be working closely with the team to make sure that Ushahidi continues to pioneer the field of Crisis Mapping. This means pushing the envelope on all four fronts of Crisis Mapping: (1) Crisis Map Sourcing, (2) Crisis Map Visualization, (3) Crisis Map Analytics and (4) Crisis Map Operations.
Swift River is an integral part of Ushahidi and the next frontier for our work in crowdsourcing crisis information. The purpose of Swift River is to validate crowdsourced information in near real-time. Ushahidi will be bringing on a full-time tech developer for Swift in the coming weeks so I look forward to collaborating closely with Chris Blow, Kaushal Jhalla and Andrew Turner (among others) to complete Swift in early 2010.
Finally and most importantly: strategic partnerships. I'll be collaborating closely with my colleague Juliana Rotich to ensure that we remain fully responsive to the evolving needs of current and future partners. I'll be focusing specifically on international partners and academic networks in the humanitarian, media and election-monitoring space. I will also be exploring new partnerships with important groups in other sectors. This means that I'll remain especially mobile in 2010, meeting face-to-face with strategic partners and presenting on Ushahidi at various events around the globe.
So that's what I'm up to. Why? Because my moto is total open collaboration. I answer all emails so please do get in touch (firstname.lastname@example.com) if you've got some ideas on how you'd like to use Ushahidi or any new features you'd like to see.
We're always looking to improve so consider us "Open for Crowdsourcing".
Asante sana!

In the media all I hear is how the OL is a plus for the Bears now.
But after looking at it today, I realized I have no idea WTF they're doing after the 1st 4 starters (most likely because they don't either).
I count 7 guys who belong on an NFL roster...and #5, 6, and 7 have spent most of the preseason out injured.
Bushrod, Slauson, Garza, Long, Mills
Britton, DeLaPuente, Groy, Ola, Boggs, Leno
Vets Brown, Roland, Turner, Gandy all dumped?
If they don't have a run of good health there, they're ****ed.
Anyone heard of a good vet axed elsewhere?

Mongiardo touts mountaintop removal mining
PIKEVILLE, Ky. (AP) _ Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo is touting the controversial form of coal mining known as mountaintop removal as a means to create level land for economic development.
The Hazard Democrat made the comments during a speech in Pikeville.
The Appalachian News-Express reported on Thursday that Mongiardo told a group at a local hotel that mountaintop removal creates flat land that could be used for building businesses, hospitals and airports.
"A lot of people look at mountaintop removal as a negative, but I see it as a positive," Mongiardo said.
The lieutenant governor went on to say that he wants to promote mountaintop removal.

Depends who you talk to. Since Rutgers Prep is not a member school of the NJSIAA, they don't have to adhere to the same rules as those schools do. Some schools resent that. Also, with Tim Ortelli now at Rutgers Prep, certain schools don't want to risk a loss before the county seeding meeting and that's a shame. Thanks for your comment.

Charleston-area dentist, Amanda Seay, DDS, AAACD, one of 359 AACD Accredited Dentists in the world and a Clinical Instructor at the Kois Center, wants Oral Cancer Awareness Month well recognized through education and health screenings with a goal of prevention through early detection.
The fastest growing segment of the oral cancer population is non-smokers under age 50.
Got your attention? Good.
More than 43,000 Americans will be diagnosed with oral cancer this year.
Oral cancer will cause more than 8,000 deaths - killing roughly one person per hour, 24 hours per day.
Of those 43,000 newly diagnosed individuals, only 57 percent will be alive in five years.
The death rate for oral cancer is higher than cervical cancer, Hodgkins lymphoma, laryngeal cancer, testicular cancer, skin cancer (malignant melanoma) or endocrine system cancers such as thyroid. Of all head and neck cancers, oral cancer comprises about 85 percent of that category.
Oral cancers death rate is high not because it is hard to discover or diagnose, but due to the cancer being routinely discovered late in its development.
Oral cancer is particularly dangerous because in its early stages, it may not be noticed by the patient, as it can prosper without producing pain or symptoms easily recognized, and because it has a high risk of recurrence.
Tobacco use in all its forms is number one on the list of risk factors in individuals over 50. When you combine tobacco with heavy alcohol use, you have a 15 times greater risk of developing oral cancer than others.
Under the age of 50, the human papilloma virus, particularly HPV16 may be replacing tobacco as the primary causative agent in the initiation of the disease process.
HPV is a common, sexually transmitted virus, which infects about 40 million Americans today.
This is the same virus (along with other HPV versions) that causes more than 90 percent of all cervical cancers.

Oakwood Cemetery offering reward for vandals' arrest
by Wendy Gragg
Tuesday January 29, 2013
Oakwood Cemetery is offering a reward for information that leads to catching the vandals who smashed and toppled monuments in the historic cemetery during the weekend.
Sometime between 9 p.m. Friday and 7 a.m. Saturday, vandals entered Oakwood Cemetery, 2124 S. Fifth St., which is gated and locked at sundown.
They vandalized between 35 and 40 monuments, causing between $100,000 and $150,000 in damage.
Waco Police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said, because of the cost of the damage, the criminal or criminals likely are looking at felony criminal mischief charges.
Oakwood Cemetery Superintendent David Evans spent much of Monday fielding phone calls from across the state and beyond, from people wanting to know if their family plots were harmed, and from Oakwood supporters offering sympathy and money to add to a reward.
Evans didn't have a set number for the reward late Monday afternoon because the calls kept coming in, he said.
"The reward would be offered to anyone giving information leading to the arrest and indictment of persons responsible (for the damage)," Evans said.
Many of the items damaged can be replaced or fixed, Evans said, but some of the older monuments cannot be repaired.
The busts of the sons of Richard Coke, who was a Civil War captain, twice governor of Texas and three times a U.S. senator, were shattered on the ground, lying in pieces against the foot of Coke's own monument, one of the most famous in Oakwood.
At the family plot of famous late Wacoan Madison Alexander Cooper Jr., who wrote "Sironia, Texas," the hands were broken off of a full-size angel.

notice the hands.
He said there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to what the criminals vandalized.
"It's just unimaginable. There's no reason to do something like this," Swanton said Monday.
Since the Waco Police Department first mentioned the Oakwood vandalism on Facebook on Saturday, people have expressed their disgust with the crimes, Swanton said.
"People feel like, as a whole, the city has been violated by this," he said, adding that upset citizens make great witnesses or tipsters.

"We think we'll get information that will certainly be beneficial in us solving the case," Swanton said.
Rewards are helpful, he said, and people with information also may contact the police through Crime Stoppers and do not have to give their names.
"We don't care who tells us, we just want to know who it was who did this so we can arrest the thugs responsible," Swanton said.
Anyone with information can call the Waco Police Department at 750-7500 or Waco Crime Stoppers at 753-HELP (4357).

American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23, 2005 The U.S. ambassador to Iraq and the commander of coalition forces there issued a joint statement in the wake of today's announcement of a reduction in U.S. forces in Iraq.
Zalmay Khalilzad and Army Gen. George W. Casey Jr. issued the following statement:
In a move we regard as a demonstration of the real progress in Iraq, the Iraqi Prime Minister, the Minister of Defense, the Minister of the Interior, the U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld today announced a reduction of U.S. forces by two brigades. That will bring down the total level from 17 brigades to 15.
We celebrate this force adjustment decision, made together by the Iraqi and United States governments, and it should be welcomed by the Iraqi people. This adjustment is an indication of the remarkable progress Iraq is making. It clearly demonstrates the dramatic increase in capabilities of the Iraqi Security Forces. This move would not have been possible without the dedication, bravery and sacrifice of your Iraqi Security Forces.
Although we are adjusting our posture, we remain committed to the establishment of a free and stable Iraq. Coalition Force advisory teams embedded with the ISF continue to work hand-in-hand in training and operations. We will remain as long as requested to do so by the Iraqi government.
The ISF today exceed 200,000, and continue to grow, improve and conduct more and more independent operations each day. They proved themselves to the Iraqi people and the world during the October referendum, and again on Dec. 15. And now, we ask the Iraqi people to stand by them, have confidence in them and think about what they will do in the future. An Iraqi people, united behind their security forces and rejecting terror and violence will find peace and prosperity in the new Iraq.
As we said last week after the historic elections: We will stand by the Iraqi people until the Iraqis can stand on their own feet. We will work with the new Iraqi government to increase its capacity and achieve self-reliance. We will stand with our Iraqi allies in the fight for security through focused operations. We need to ensure that the Iraqi people have confidence and trust in their security institutions.
We continue to assess the security situation and conditions on the ground and will adjust the size composition of our mission and forces as necessary.
May God bless the people of Iraq.

Oooweee. It's time to crack a window and grab a tall glass of water; you'll need that cool spring breeze right now. Some of the hottest women to ever grace the Victoria's Secret runway (shoot to ever walk the Earth) were born in April, making for a very different kind of heatwave than the kind we experience in July.
Brazilian model Alessandra Ambrosio turned 31 on April 11, and has more to celebrate than her own birthday this year. The original spokeswoman for PINK, who walked the runway just three months after giving birth to her daughter Anja, is expecting her second child with Jamie Mazur sometime this year.
Model-turned-actress Brooklyn Decker has been quite the busy lady. The 5'9″ blonde, who appeared alongside Adam Sandler in last year's Just Go With It, is spending her 25th birthday today (April 12) while traipsing the globe to promote her latest flick, Battleship.
Brit beauty Rosie Huntington-Whiteley went from strutting around in her undies for Victoria's Secret and Burberry to fleeing evil aliens in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Rosie turns 24 on April 18, and you can pay homage to her bday by perusing her pics in Vogue Brazil's April issue.
Last but certainly not least in the looks department is Orlando Bloom's smoking wife Miranda Kerr. The Aussie model and mum of 1-year-old Flynn acquired quite some fame being the first Australian model to become a Victoria's Secret angel. We can't say we're surprised she was chosen as the first. Miranda turns 29 on the 20th.
In the spirit of a catwalk showdown, we're putting these heavenly creatures in direct competition with each other. We're asking you to select which April birthday girl is hottest. Are you up for this decision? Here's a gallery of Alessandra, Brooklyn, Rosie and Miranda to make your choice a little easier (actually, probably not):

James E. McLean
March 19, 1926 – December 10, 2012
CHAPEL HILL — James E. McLean, PhD, died on Dec. 10, 2012 at his home in Chapel Hill. His rich life spanned 86 years. He is survived by his wife of 36 years, Lee Kelsey McLean, PhD., associate dean of the University of North Carolina School of Medicine and chair of the Department of Allied Health Sciences.
A child of the Great Depression, Jim grew up in South Bend, Indiana, where he and his younger sister, Janice, shared hardships that created a mutual caretaking bond that they maintained until her death two years ago.
Jim's service in the Army Air Corps during World War II stamped his membership card in what has come to be known as the "greatest generation" and provided the GI Bill benefits that afforded him an opportunity to be the first in his immediate family to go to college. Jim took full advantage, earning an undergraduate degree from Indiana University and graduate degrees from the University of Kansas in the discipline of speech-language pathology. After obtaining his doctorate, Jim embarked on a teaching and research career at KU's pioneering Bureau of Child Research that produced breakthroughs in the way that speech and language therapists provided evidence-based services to developmentally disabled children. Much of this work was done in partnership with his wife, Lee, at a state hospital for the developmentally disabled in Parsons, Kansas.
His teaching and research career might never have materialized if not for a serendipitous encounter. Jim and a friend were hitchhiking shortly after their release from the Army when an admissions officer from Park College offered them a ride. By the time they reached their destination, Jim was enrolled at the small Kansas City, Mo. liberal arts college where he met his first wife, Barbara Malan McLean, the mother of his two sons. The couple married in 1950 and transferred to Indiana University to complete their degrees. They divorced in 1971 but remained close until her death in 1989.
Jim was a Fellow of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the recipient of its highest recognition, The Honors of ASHA. Only months before his death from congestive heart failure, he was nominated for ASHA's most prestigious lifetime clinical award. His nomination by his friend of 50 years, David Yoder, chair and professor emeritus, Department of Allied Health Sciences at UNC, and the many letters of support that flooded in from colleagues across the country greatly enriched the final weeks of his life.
Jim was a self-anointed "charming curmudgeon" who enjoyed hosting family gatherings, jazz, beach vacations, lingering conversations at the dinner table and being among the best-dressed men wherever he happened to be living. In a letter he wrote to Lee in 1989 with instructions not to open until his death, Jim provided options for how he would like to be dressed if family members desired a viewing. The letter specified details down to the color and pattern of the tie he preferred, evoking knowing chuckles from family members who traveled to be at his side in his final days. The letter went on to discuss the specific traits that he loved and admired in his two sons, James M. McLean, Topeka, Kansas and Thomas A. McLean, Parsons, Kansas, who continue the family tradition of rooting on Jim's beloved Kansas Jayhawks in Allen Fieldhouse.
Other Kansas survivors include daughters-in-law, Teresa McLean and Deb Miller; grand children, Andrew, Katy, Ian, Neil and Ben McLean; and great grandson, Kendal McLean. Jim also leaves his beloved niece, Peggy Maracinni and her children, Stephanie and Michael, and his aunt Leah Scheid and her husband, Tom, all in California; and his brother-in-law, Ward Kelsey and his wife, Mary Ruth of Pittsburgh.
A celebration of Jim's life for family and friends is being planned for next month. Charitable contributions may be made in Jim's name to Southern Poverty Law Center, UNC Hospice, or Planned Parenthood of Central North Carolina.
Condolences may be expressed to the family at CremationSocietyNC.com.
William (Billy) Sparrow
CHAPEL HILL - William (Billy) Sparrow, 94, died at his home on Friday morning after many years of declining health. He was predeceased by his father, June Albert Sparrow; mother, Mary Belle Johnson Sparrow; his wife, Emily Bazemore; five brothers, Philip, Leonard, Junius, Waldo, Vernon; and four sisters, Jessie Williams, Maggie Dollar, Emily Sparrow, and Christine Wilson. He is survived by five nephews and four nieces.
Billy was a native of Orange County, graduated from Wake Forest University and attended Bowman Gray School of Medicine. He served in the Armed Services during World War II. Billy retired from Blue Cross Blue Shield as Claims Director. He was recognized as a volunteer at the Orange Correctional Center for almost twenty years. Besides the prison ministry, an ordained minister too, he was very active in many Baptist churches in the area. Billy loved music and sang in many choirs and a barbershop chorus. His hobbies and interests included gardening and yard work. Billy had a sincere love and interest in people.
Visitation will be at Walker's Funeral Home, Sunday, December 16, 7-9 p.m. Graveside services will be conducted at the Sparrow/Mt. Carmel Church Cemetery, Monday, December 17, 2 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: Alamance-Orange Prison Ministry, P.O. Box 9932, Chapel Hill 275154.
The family wishes to express their appreciation and gratitude to Billy's caregivers, James Long and Linda Bowman.

A.J. Reed Named NCBWA National Hitter of the Week
April 8, 2014
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Already named Southeastern Conference and Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week, Kentucky junior left-handed pitcher/first baseman A.J. Reed has been National Hitter of the Week by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, it was announced on Tuesday afternoon.


text: If you think about it, the wiggly cane is indeed sensible. For the effect to work, the figure needs to stand perfectly still. I assume they had a blacklight trained on his face, and so his head couldn't move, neither his body. Well, pthhh, they can't just have a frozen mannequin standing there! They need some animation to bring the figure to life. If you think about it, about the only thing that can move is the cane arm, so that's what they did. The eye immediately focuses on motion, so it's not surprising that this is what I first noticed and have the clearest memory of.

Bow Wow may be flying up the charts, but his partner-in-beef Romeo is the teen MC who's truly got game right now.
In a hip-hop first, Percy "Romeo" Miller (nee "Lil' Romeo") will play college basketball for surging West Coast powerhouse USC next season. The move is unprecedented — while many pro hoopsters have tried to cut it in the rap game, Romeo is out to become the first chart-topping MC to go from mics to Nikes. In fact, the only bigtime rapper to get this far up the sports ladder was none other than Romeo's father, Master P, who tried out for a handful of NBA teams after playing college ball at the University of Houston.
Congratulations to the Millers for making the sports world say, "Huhhh?"
Ball's in your court, Bow Wow.

Favorite sports memory: My favorite memories from track are practices at the begining of the season. They are fun because they start getting you back into shape and build up lots of anticipation for the next meet. My favorite specific memory is using the springboard to jump onto mats to begin practicing for long jump.
What advice would you give to an aspiring high school athlete?: Give it everything you have, because even if you aren�t perfect, at least you know you did your best. Really applying myself is something I struggled with, because I had a job during track, so I missed practice. So I would say apply yourself and do your absolute best; those are the two most important things.
What was your inspiration during your high school career?: I�m a very competitive person, so my inspiration was winning or beating a record or goal I had set for myself. I always wanted to do better than the time before, and hopefully some other participants too.
Future plans: I will be attending the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire this fall. I will be majoring in elementary education, possibly with an emphasis on special education. I hope this will make me more �marketable� so I will get a job shortly after graduation. I hope that I will be able to stay in the Central Wisconsin area, but if not, I�m willing to go where the job takes me.

proving, computer-aided design, model checking in systems biology, and so forth. Jack seemed to have returned over and over to the core essence of mathematics to look for simple and elegant solutions to a diverse set of applications.
In an essay on computer science, Jack pithily described what he considered to be this essence of mathematics. "To find the simple in the complex, the finite in the infinite," Jack wrote, "that is not a bad description of the aim and essence of mathematics." To find the simple in the complex is not a bad description of what Jack's work continues to represent to his friends, colleagues, mentees, advisees, and students.
Jack's personal interests were wide and varied and included etymology, world music, music composition using software, middle school mathematics curriculum development, 3-D vision, Paleolithic stone implements, visual illusions, knots, extensive reading and cooking. In his final year Jack became interested in the basics of geometric lens optics and delved into the subject deeply enough to have started a paper on the topic. Up until one month prior to his death he was still working on transfer methods using wood, marble and clay.
Besides his wife, Diana, survivors include his daughters, Abby Schwartz of Manhattan and Rachel Fainman of Winnipeg, Manitoba; two grandchildren, Adam and Adrienne Fainman of Winnipeg, Manitoba; and a sister, Judith Dunford, the widow of the literary critic Alfred Kazin.

Teen Mom
Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin Tease "Big News" — Is It a Baby?!
Shhhhh, everyone. The Stork is currently circling around Pennsylvania like a baby-obsessed maniac, and it looks like he might (just might!) deliver a bundle of joy to Teen Mom 2's Kailyn Lowry and her husband, Javi Marroquin.
Javi sent the pregnancy rumor mill into overdrive when he took it to Twitter on February 15 and declared that his "family is growing," but then? He took things up a notch by Instagramming "Can't wait until our family grows!" on February 21. OMG, does Kailyn have fruit in her baby looms?!
This gal has been baby-crazy since July 2012, when she tweeted that she had "baby fever," but is she pregnant? The verdict is still out, but Kailyn recently took it to Twitter and revealed that she and Javi are getting ready to make a huge announcement.
"@JaviM9 and I have some pretty big news coming!" Kailyn tweeted on February 23. "#anxious #ready."
What do you think Kailyn and Javi's big news is? The obvious answer is "BABIES BABIES BABIES," but it's always possible that Kailyn has an even bigger surprise up her sleeve. And by up her sleeve, we're definitely referring to her tattoo.

As of May 18, Dr. Anne Prestamo, Associate Dean for Collections and Technology Services, has contacted the heads of the departments in the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. We have received prioritized lists from 3 departments and their requests are now in the queue to return to the Main Library. We are waiting on lists from the 4 remaining departments in the CASNR.
Please Note: As always, material in the Annex may be requested for electronic delivery, pick up at the Main Library or on-site consultation.
Building Access During the Summer
The OSU Library will undergo several renovations that will impact access to portions of the building this summer. The South Plaza will be refinished, the ceiling and lighting in the basement will be replaced, and the first floor Java Dave's area will be tiled.
South Plaza: This project is made possible through the generosity of OSU alum, John Clerico. Construction on the Plaza has begun and will continue into the fall semester. The south doors will be closed for the majority of the project. Patrons may access the building via the north entrance during operating hours. Planners anticipate partial access to the south doors will be restored for the beginning of the fall semester.
Basement: The lighting project is anticipated to be complete by July 29. Until then, there will be no public access to the basement, and all basement materials—call numbers 500-649 and 660-699—should be requested at the Circulation Desk. Staff will retrieve items by request. The Map Room, located in the basement, will be open by appointment only during the project. Call 744-9731 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to make arrangements.
First Floor: This project will begin July 1. It will not affect access to the building or any material, however the seating area will be closed. Java Dave's will maintain its normal summer schedule.
For more information on the status of these projects, contact John DeGeorge, Head of Security and Facilities, at 405-744-7208 or visit www.library.okstate.edu.

I've been a member of Mothering for quite a few years, but never ventured over to this section!
Ever since we almost lost our home due to mold, I have been a decluttering freak. I also have to keep things really clean since my 3 yo DS has severe dust and mold allergies.
Reading through the different threads, I am in heaven!!
So glad to meet you all.
Wife to - Mama to DS 6/08 and DS 9/11
Nice to meet you too! I get so much inspiration from this forum.
Ah man! Loosing the house to mold! Terrible! But, certainly a way to move forward! :D
Oh, we didn't actually lose our house. We had to move out for almost a year and we *almost* lost the house. We are back now, and still combatting some mold in various areas.
Our basement is completely clean of items - we threw almost everything out. The only things I have that aren't in use right now are some baby clothes from my DS and some wall hangings. We even had to get rid of most of our furniture!
Wife to - Mama to DS 6/08 and DS 9/11
still, it's a lot to loose!
i'm always impressed with how people manage when they are "forced" rather than choosing to give things up. it's truly profound.
Sounds like things are coming back together, which is great. :)

SplatBot MkII
- Login or register to post comments
- by OddBot
- Collected by 5 users
Sleeker and with twice the firepower, SplatBot Mk II has some obvious improvements over the original. Noticably the water bottles and pumps are on the chassis making the cannon much lighter and more responsive. I've also doubled the storage capacity and pumping power. each pump is individually controlled for multicolour writting. Both videos can be viewed in high quality mode.
The first video is the most recent and is for the purist. Directed from afar :)
He sounds like an excited cousin of R2D2 but this is actually the sonar range readings converted to sound to help test that the sonar is working properly.
The second is my earlier experimentation with video editing software syncronised to some suitable music with our new logo hastily added before uploading :D
The chassis is the same as the original with some meccano supports to hold the water bottles (not shown). The two pumps and a DC-DC converter have been added to the back.
The DC-DC converter is configured as a voltage step up current regulator. This means that the output is a higher voltage than the input and the current is regulated to control the brightness of the LEDs.
The LEDs used are 0.5W 10mm green and white LEDs. They are very bright, in the video's they are turned down to minimum brightness. The white LEDs in the water bottles are for lighting up water that has been coloured with food colouring. Unfortunately the only video with that working was the two colour LMR attempt. The dye had to be very dark to show up well on the sand and did no light up as well as hoped. I plan to do a night video that should be better.
I've attached the code for SplatBot although it's incomplete. The IR tracking routine will be re-written to suit the next sensor design and the LMR routine has been written in a less than efficent manner to make it easier for me to tweak the font. If I'm ever happy with it then I'll condense the code.
Heh, the video is pretty
Heh, the video is pretty stable and cool with a robot controlling it, the Splatbot is AWESOME, I'm planning on making a firefighting robots too, later (By later i mean WAY later). But hey, still I can get inspiration from others! :D
That is one Awesome Robot,
That is one Awesome Robot, just one question, doesn't the Sun emit Infrared as well, how does SplatBot differentiate the Sunlight and the fire? I really like the movement of the water canon! :D
Awesome robot!
really cool robot and i can't believe it wrote 'LMR' :p. I really like that IR tracking module, it looks so clean.
Awesome work to be honest. My question may sounds a bit silly, but how did you connected the EZ1 maxsonar to the picaxe28? is it the same as srf ultrasound series.
I'm working on a project
I'm working on a project inspired by you, and I've bought a simular looking pump, as I couldn't find a battery powered water gun either.
Is the pumps output made for tubing that are 5mm measured on the inside? I'm sitting looking at the plastic tube joiners that came with it and they seem to be to wide to function as a nozzle. Were the "black plastic fishtank tube joiner" you mention in your original splatbot text something else?
Right now I'm experimenting with wind screen washer nozzles, but they give more of a thin spray than a jet...

Hospital hosts free pulmonary event
HUNTINGTON -- Cabell Huntington Hospital's respiratory care department is sponsoring a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Awareness Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17, on the hospital's ground floor in private dining room 1.
The free event includes screenings and information about medications and treatment. COPD is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide, and one-quarter to one-half of people with the disease don't know they have it.
"A lot of people who have COPD aren't aware of their problems until they actually have a screening for it," said Jim Perrine, manager of the respiratory care department, in a press release. "Many people just attribute their breathing trouble to getting older. In many cases, that is not the case and they instead have this disease that has been caused by smoking or air pollution."
COPD can be diagnosed with spiometry -- a quick, painless, lung function test that is almost as simple as blowing out the candles on a birthday cake. This screening will be available.
If you are a current or ex-smoker, are over age 40, and you have symptoms like a chronic cough, breathlessness and bringing up phlegm, or you have been diagnosed with COPD and would like information regarding the disease, respiratory specialists at Cabell Huntington Hospital invite you to learn more about medication, pulmonary rehabilitation, relaxation and breathing techniques, nutritional advice and more.

The following video will introduce you to the creation of a user defined material. It even shows you how to add a standard texture to your material for realistic rendering mode.
Depending on what you are planning on using the material for, you will need to know some information about the material. For example, if you are only going to call out the material in a BOM, then the "technical" specs of the material are likely unimportant to you. So for this, you might just create a new material and then give it a name and a description. (Again, for documentation sake).
However, if you are adding the material to aid in your engineering process you will likely need to know much more. At minimum you will want to know the density of the material so that TopSolid 7 can calculate the correct weight of your part for you. However if you are creating a type of plastic, you might want to know the shrinkage factor. Or maybe you are working with tool steel, and need to specify the Rockwell Hardness, so you will need to have that information ready as well.
The point here is that TopSolid 7 gives you the tools that you need to describe the materials that you use easily and efficiently.
The video below will walk you through the creation of a custom material with a standard texture. If you have questions…feel free to leave a comment below the video.
