When Piper Kerman was incarcerated for a year on a ten year-old drug charge, she ran everyday around the track to keep from losing her mind. The kindness of fellow inmates in this stripped-down world provided her comfort. This book reminded me of the redemptive qualities of running. And although this story is not about running, it plays an intimate part in the outcome. Running sometimes saves us from ourselves. It can provide peace to a troubled mind or solace to a busy soul. It can act as a catalyst to knowing that we are capable of coming back from pain. If life is like a race, we keep running, even when it really hurts.
The unexpected friendships that developed for Piper within the walls of the prison camp brought to mind threads of running friendships. Although not even comparable to prison life, a shared experience of long training hours and personal triumphs (reduced to the toughness and the kindness within us) can bring forth some of the most unlikely bonds. True colors are shown and respect is earned. Humor and connection trump competition and rivalry.
Orange is the New Black – My Year in A Women's Prison is a really good read that opens your eyes to the injustices within the walls of our prisons. So much of it made me cringe. Piper is one tough cookie. I could not put this one down and was left wanting more.

My Wii:
2nd generation: first hard modded with 2nd gen wiikey then softmodded 2 years later with bannerbomb, ran pimp my wii regularly for missing stumps via wadmanager, never saw bootmii starting up but didn't realise that i could start bootmii in hbs with home button. Running 4.1e with config usb loader in wsbf format never had any problems with any games ( eventually ) untill CAD black ops! Froze when starting up so i read that running cios 250 will help. I AM A NOOB!! and all i've seen over the years on my Wii is cios 249 so i ran cios 250(57) v 19 via wadmanager under hbc.
Immediately when starting hbc it went into update and wouldn't work anymore when finished, also config usb loader wouldn't work anymore either. Removed both and tried to reinstall both via hackmii but kept freezing. Took a chance and updated via wii systemupdate to 4.3e and applied the 4.3e softmod yugioh owned 60hz hack ( with a dvd backup of my game original, which i had lent out ) which worked perfectly right down to the last letter!!!! Installed system channel wiiflow 249 and got all the games working............and yes also what started this whole problem, call of duty black ops!!
Many many thanx to wiihacks and its supporters and boffins who do the hard graft and let us noobs profit from it.

There's no need to reboot after a shutdown, either--just exit the shell and the system comes bak up.

Better World Books, perhaps the preeminent poster child for how to start and run a growing healthy social enterprise, just turned 10 years old. With about 340 employees, revenues are approaching $65 million, with year after year double digit growth.
That's a pretty good track record and quite unusual–and, with that in mind, it's worth taking a look at how they've pulled it off.
It started when founders and Notre Dame classmates Xavier Helgesen, Kreece Fuchs and Jeff Kurtzman tried to sell their used textbooks back to the campus book store, to no avail. It was a time when third-party online marketplaces were making a splash. So, they decided to try a new idea, selling them online. They got about $50 a book and realized they were onto something.
What they did was to start holding book drives. They approached Robinson Community Learning Center, a literacy group associated with Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., with a proposition: They would use the Robinson name to run a book drive on campus and, in return, the center would get part of the proceeds. That generated over $20,000 from about 2,000 books, with half going to literacy initiatives at Robinson.
From that, the idea for Better World Books was born. The concept: Develop a unique supply chain by collecting used books, saving them from being thrown in landfills, and then contribute part of each sale to what they called a "literacy partner"–a nonprofit aimed at addressing and improving literacy in various parts of the world. That could be one of Better World Books' four official partners or anyone else. The upshot: They would make their social purpose front and center, so that students would be more likely to donate books or buy from them than from a more traditional source.
Just so you know, the primary literacy partners include:
- Books for Africa, which collects, sorts, ships and distributes books to children in Africa, more than 20 million since 1988.
- The National Center for Family Literacy which focuses on underprivileged families and trains thousands of teachers and volunteers.
- Room to Read, which builds schools, establishes bilingual libraries and computer labs, publishes books in local languages and funds
- Worldfund focuses on improving education in Latin America through investment in schools, gifted student programs and
teacher training.
The fact that the social mission is part and parcel of the brand has the nice benefit that, should the company be bought, the acquirer would have to be suicidal if it wanted to dilute that mission. (Think the opposite of Ben & Jerry's and Unilever). Along with Good Capital, a social venture fund that has invested in the company, they also introduced something that Good Capital's Kevin Jones has called "mission insurance." The founders would put aside a certain percentage of their stock into a special option pool for nonprofit partners. One result: In a potential sale, the interests of the nonprofits would have to be taken into account.
A few years after starting the company, the founders realized there was another promising supply source they'd ignored: libraries. Turned out, libraries got rid of hundreds of books every year, but weren't allowed to recycle them. So they just dumped them. Better World Books proposed they collect those books. Today, the company works with over 1,800 public library systems and close to 1,600 academic libraries.
Also, they have 1,300 drop boxes in 17 states where people can donate books.
To date, they sell about 1 million books a month and they've raised over $14 million for library and literacy initiatives. There are two
fulfillment centers, one in Indiana and the other in Scotland.
Now, according to CEO Andrew Perlmutter, who joined the company in 2011, replacing David Murphy, the previous CEO—the founders realized early on they needed adult supervision. Murphy was a judge at a Notre Dame business plan competition where the founders won $7,000–the company is moving into other items that can be repurposed. "The future is now in surplus goods," he says. That means car seats and the like, other goods that are "perfectly usable."
A smart supply chain, an effective social mission, the smarts to bring on experienced management early on, the ability to look for new supply sources–they've all contributed to Better World Books' success. Happy Birthday.

North Perrott straw bale man rebuilt with crates after collapsing in rain
Posted: January 11, 2013|
A very unlucky giant in North Perrott who has twice fallen victim to the elements is hoping his new body will stand the test of time.
The 14-foot straw bale man, who points the way to North Perrott Fruit Shop and Garden Centre, has been rebuilt for the second time using apple crates.
He has now been appropriately rechristened with the name Woody.
The gentle giant was torched in October by vandals and, after being rebuilt a week later, was all washed up after heavy rainfall in December.
Owner Jonathan Hoskyns said: "Sadly, having first succumbed to fire, our second attempt at a straw man eventually became the victim of incessant rain – or perhaps in the best traditions of celebrity, drink got the better of him. He certainly looked a bit tipsy, toppled over as he was.
"It was clear that a more robust character was required for the winter period so some ideas for an apple box man evolved.
"The first attempts were a little too robotic but hopefully, we have created a character who is, at best, not too scary for his younger fans."
The giant man is a big hit with youngsters in North Perrott who enjoy waving to him on their way to Misterton First School.
He joined in with annual events such as Movember, when he sported a dashing moustache to raise awareness for male cancer and other related charities.
For Christmas he was adorned in flashing lights.
Woody is now being used to hang happy birthday banners for local schoolchildren.
The straw sculpture was the brainchild of Mr Hoskyns's niece, Millie Dyer, 8, who decided she wanted to make a straw bale man of her own after seeing one on her way home from a holiday in Cornwall.

Legg, on the other hand, remains convinced of Scott's innocence. "I don't think he did it, I really don't," he says. "I really believe that if someone had gone out there and sabotaged that levee, they would have died in doing so. I told that to the jury, and I told that to the jury because I believe it, and I believe it to this day -- although when push comes to shove, I don't know what happened on that levee; I don't think anybody really does."
Fear and Loathing in Quincy
James Scott recalls a fairly ordinary life growing up. He was an average kid making average grades who liked to play soccer and watch football, a real sports nut. But when he was 13, he and brother Jeff burned down Webster Elementary School. In a town of 50,000 people, he says, it was impossible for him to live down that stigma.
At 17, it was a garage. He did a five-year stretch in prison for that one.
He credits a lot of anger back then to the fires. He says he wasn't out to get anyone, nor did he intend to harm anyone. He says the actual act of making a fire and watching it spark and catch was the driving force behind his madness.
"Things I've done in general, you know, the stupid fires, the stealing, this and that -- I don't know, I never got everything I asked for when I was a kid, but Mom and Dad was always trying to be there," he says. "Dad blames himself for not being there all the time. I've told him, "Don't blame yourself. Kids are going to do what they want to. You can't change that.'"
And sometimes, you can't change what others think of you, either.
"If you ask me, they should have had the trial here locally," says Jack Freiburg, an insurance agent in Quincy. "Know what we would have done? We'd have hung him from the Bayview Bridge and let the birds get at him. The birds should get a crack at Jimmy Scott, too."
Bob Hofmeister, a farmer who testified against Scott, thinks Scott is a sick man who can do no right. Asked what sealed his decision as to Scott's guilt, Hofmeister says just knowing Scott over the years was enough knowledge.
"We knew he was the man; it was only a matter of proving it," he says. "I knew in my mind he'd have to brag about it in a bar, and so we convicted him on circumstantial evidence. He's a menace to society and too dangerous to be free."
While some think Scott's punishment is too harsh, Hofmeister figures it's not enough. "This individual is too dangerous to be in society," he says. And what would he suggest? "Maybe hang him from a tree and everybody go home for lunch," he says.
Fortunately for Scott, Judge Robert Clayton stayed within the law. And he lectured Scott at the sentencing. "I think you have a problem with unbridled aggressive behavior," he told Scott. "I'm not sure where that anger comes from, but I cannot and will not run the risk that you may or may not be able to curtail your aggressive impulse and anger. You are a threat to society." Six years later, Clayton says Scott "absolutely" deserves to be where he is.
Clayton was new on the bench at the time, and this case was a baptism by fire for him. He was in a precarious position; not only was this one of his first sentencings, it was the first sentencing in Missouri history for this law. What to do? Because Scott had been a troubled youth, Clayton threw the book at him.
"You are in touch with reality, but you are out of touch with empathy," Clayton told Scott. "So maybe the water will put the fire in you out."
Scott says he had done his time for his past crimes and that those crimes should therefore have had no bearing on this case. "There hasn't been no fires since. No thoughts of fires, either. When I see them now in certain places, my heart goes out to the people involved who lost," he says.
When the Levee Breaks
Dr. R. David Hammer has been a soil and atmospheric-sciences expert, working with river systems for more than 20 years and teaching for the last 14 years at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Hammer knows levees, having grown up near one. He testified for the defense in the second trial, proclaiming Scott's innocence on the grounds of science. Hammer says now he is even firmer on his stance -- that this case has left a bad taste in his mouth. He testified that six parameters increase the likelihood of levee failure under flood conditions. The levee at West Quincy met all six.
"They did several things that were just absolutely outrageous," he says. "The first one was, they didn't anticipate in advance that the crest that was coming out of the Raccoon River in Iowa was going to affect them."
The Raccoon River, which flows into the Mississippi, was moving faster than anticipated. Prolonged rainfall in southwestern Iowa in July filled up the surrounding lakes and reservoirs, causing all the rainwater to flow into the Raccoon. As that crest started to move down the Mississippi, it broke levees everywhere it went.

Great Melbourne Telescope
Image: Erection of Great Melbourne Telescope, 1869
Source: Museum Victoria
The Great Melbourne Telescope was built by Thomas Grubb of Dublin in 1868 and erected at Melbourne Observatory in 1869. It was a reflector telescope with a speculum (metal) mirror of 48 inches in diameter; at the time it was the second largest telescope in the world and the largest in the southern hemisphere.
The design and construction was overseen by a committee of eminent British astronomers, who developed the telescope to study the nebulae of the southern hemisphere skies. It was the first major telescope built by Thomas Grubb, and revolutionary in many aspects of its design. The firm went on to make many of the major telescopes around the world in the second half of the 19th century.
The telescope never lived up to expectations, due to difficulties with constant tarnishing of its mirrors, flexure in the mirrors, and its relative unsuitability for the new astronomical techniques of photography and spectroscopy. The telescope was operated at Melbourne Observatory by a dedicated Great Melbourne Telescope Observer: Albert Le Seuer (1869-70), E.F. MacGeorge (1870-72), Joseph Turner (1873-83), Pietro Baracchi (1883-92); thereafter it was used only intermittently.
When Melbourne Observatory closed in 1944, the telescope was sold to the Commonwealth Observatory at Mount Stromlo, Canberra. At Mount Stromlo the telescope was given a new 50-inch glass mirror, and became an integral part of Mt Stromlo's work during the 1960s. In the early 1990s the telescope was rebuilt with two detector mosaics for the MACHO project, and the telescope in this form found the first observational evidence for dark matter. Then in January 2003 a bushfire swept across Mt Stromlo, its firestorm destroying the majority of the telescopes and buildings.
Since the early 1980s Museum Victoria had progressively been retrieving discarded parts of the Great Melbourne Telescope as Mt Stromlo rebuilt the instrument. The remaining parts of the telescope at Mount Stromlo were dismantled in 2008 and returned to Melbourne. A project has now commenced to restore the telescope.

All of their players are good and they have a great coaching staff. We knew it would be a tough game we just didn't anticipate them getting past San Diego. That should inspire the girls to play well. "
"Illinois State was picked to win their conference. They are a good team. They played a top-20 team last weekend and I'm sure they walked away from that with some learning tools."
"Both teams should make for two great games in Las Vegas at UNLV Stadium."
LIVE STATSBoth the Cal State Bakersfield and Illinois State matches will be available through Gametracker on www.GoLobos.com.

WILLIAMS DOES IT AGAINFor the second season in a row sophomore Jennifer Williams has scored the Lobos first goal of the season. Williams took a ball from fellow sophomore Nicole Reed and used her speed to fly past the Idaho State backline. After forcing the ISU keeper off her line Williams put the ball in between the keeper and the near post for the score in the 12th minute.
Last season Williams, as a true freshman, took a cross from senior Hannah Hand and headed top shelf for the Lobos first goal of the 2008 season and the first of her very bright career.
FIREPOWER RETURNSThe Lobos return more than 75 percent of their total points scored from last season. Leading the way for the Lobos is junior Alexis Ball, who scored seven goals and notched four assists last season for 18 total points. Sophomores Jennifer Williams and Zaneta Wyne were second on the team with four goals apiece.

Sophomore Jennifer Williams found the back of the net for the Lobos in the 12th minute of the match. This is the second season in a row that Williams has scored the Lobos first goal of the season. Sophomore Nicole Reed was credited with the assist.
Senior Jess Quador found the back of the net for the first time as a Lobo in the 88th minute after she put away her own rebound and put the Lobos on top, 2-0.
Four true freshmen saw action against ISU. Chandler Guetz, Lauren Irwin, Shelbie Luna and Rachel Montoya got their first tastes of Division I play.
Sophomore Gianna Cavuoto made her first career start for the Lobos.
Redshirt Freshman Kelli Cornell started the first match of her career and came away with her first career victory and first career shutout.
A TRADITION OF WINNINGHead coach Kit Vela is entering her ninth year at the helm of the women's soccer program. Since coming on in 2001 Vela has led the Lobos to the MWC Tournament seven out of eight years and has reached the championship match twice. In 2001 Vela was awarded the MWC Coach of the Year award.
Vela's squads have earned four consecutive winning seasons and are a force to be reckoned with in the MWC. Last season Vela earned her 50th career victory in a 1-0 decision over Drake on Sept. 5. Her first victory came in dramatic fashion as the Lobos stunned then No. 12 Kentucky in Lexington, Ky. on Sept. 30, 2001.
BALL CHASES THE RECORDSJunior Alexis Ball has led the Lobos in scoring over the past two seasons in. Her 13 career goals ties her for fifth all-time at New Mexico and is only five away from third place. Ball has proven to have gold in her strikes as well. She is ranks third all-time with six gamewinning goals. Ball is also tied for seventh all-time with 31 career points and is only seven points from cracking the top-5.
LOBOS PICKED TO FINISH SIXTH IN MWC PRESEASON POLLThe University of New Mexico women's soccer team was picked to finish sixth this season by the conference head coaches. The Lobos were picked to finish sixth last year and ended the season in a tie for fourth place with UNLV. The top six teams at the end of the season get invited to the conference tournament which will be hosted by BYU in Provo, Utah.
SENIORS SHINETwo seniors will wear the Cherry and Silver for the final time this season. Jess Quador and Veronika Strnadova are the two lone seniors on the Lobo roster. Quador came to UNM as a transfer from Colorado last season. She has become one of the on-field leaders on the backline and of the entire team.
Strnadova has shown the heart of a lion. She has faced adversity in the form of an knee injury before the 2008 season. After a successful surgery, Strnadova was able to make a full recovery and is at 100 percent for her senior season.
BUILDING FOR THE FUTURENew Mexico welcome's 11 incoming freshmen to the squad this fall. Hailing Southern California are goalkeeper Sydney George, defenders Sinead Fleming and Lauren Irwin, and midfielders Shelbie Luna and Channing Perea. From the Land of Enchantment are midfielders Kelly Angerosa, Ashley Espinoza and Rachel Montoya. From Colorado are midfielders Chandler Guetz and Stephanie Rowe. Out of Utah is utility player Melanie Ward.
The strong group of freshman all have the talent to see immediate playing time in coach Vela's system. Each new Lobo brings a wealth of soccer knowledge and prior acomplishments.
UNM SOCCER COMPLEXFor the 14th season the Lobo women's soccer team will take the pitch at the UNM Soccer Complex. The home field for the Lobos seats 6,200 fans and is equipped with endline bleachers and a Daktronics scoreboard.
The Lobos will play nine matches at the UNM Soccer Complex. On Sept. 11-13, New Mexico will host the Nike Classic and face off against Cal State Northridge on Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. MT and Tulsa on Sept. 13 at 1 p.m. MT. New Mexico will play seven of its nine home matches under the lights.

If one does not like the "welfare state" that is now attributed to the State of MA - Take it up at the state level. This article is about Mayor Sarno and the Spfld Police trying to do a better job for the community. For that, I say Thank You Mr. Sarno and Thank You Spfld PD. People are always complaining about our men/women in blue: If you ask me, we instead owe them a great deal of Thanks for the dedication and hard work that they do on a daily basis! While every "company" and organization has its problems and "bad apples", our Spfld PD has a great deal more good cops dedicated to their job and the citizenry of Spfld. THANK YOU TO OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN BLUE who wear the uniform with pride and stare in the face of crime every day! THANK YOU TO OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN BLUE that arrive first on the scene of house fires and ensure everybody is out safe! THANK YOU TO OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN BLUE that arrive on scene first in an automobile accident and start to administer first aid or comforts a crying child while waiting for the ambulance to arrive! THANK YOU TO OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN BLUE that arrive on a crime scene and secures the area possibly putting themselves in danger while assessing a situation. THANK YOU TO OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN BLUE for giving up of yourselves with your family and loved ones so that mine might be safe! THANK YOU TO THE SPRINGFIELD POLICE DEPARTMENT AND ALL OF THE OFFICERS THAT MAKE THIS CITY A SAFER PLACE FOR EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF RACE, COLOR OR CREED.
Of course Romney has no chance at the black vote. 95% voted for Obama. The majority of that vote was based purly on color. Thank God the whites did not feel the same way!
If you want to move a planter on the sidewalk....you have to use the sidewalk. Could be wrong.
Every time someone of importance is needed for local positions, whether it is for political reasons or plain ignorance, people tend to search outside our own local for replacement. Whatever happened to the local hockey and alumni making good and winning for the home team? We have that opportunity right here in Western Mass with Rob Bonneau! I don't know if he threw his hat in the political (YES POLITICAL) fray, if not he should! He came from local schools, went to UMASS, and then on to professional hockey. He even had a short stint with our own Falcons! Why do we need to look any further? He is a fantastic coach for the Springfield PICS. Why he is not being pursued is beyond me! Wouldn't that make for great fodder "Local Player Makes it to the TOP". Do not overlook this possibility.
It is obvious we have a Sergeant that believes in the US Constitution and the Second Amendment! I just wish more people would read the Constitution and understand it in its entirety! It should be required for all elected officials!
Nothing wrong with making money! I love money and everything it buys! I didn't see Clinton going broke since leaving office. In fact, he became one of the richest X-Prez in history! Obama is an idiot that loves blaming others and hates the individuals! He like to put us all into catagorical classes and groups. Too bad we are not all that stupid and do realize our individuality! At least some of us......Lets face it: We are all born democrats. Once we realize our individual importance and contributions, we become informed, educated, REPUBLICANS!
Oh sure....always blame the black guy!
How about the government staying out of my personal business! The liberals and conservatives need to give the individuals back their individualitie! Enough of this big brother crap. I can make my own decisions if I to smoke pot or not. Big gov likes the "war on drugs". It creates thousands of jobs and allows for billions of dollars of wasted spending! All on the feel good shoulders of the taxpayer- you and me! Wake up you voting sheeple!
I consider myself a conservative and am sick and tired of "conservatives" being tagged as "Bible Thumpers"! Santorum is a faith-crazed nut! This country is not a theocracy! It was not founded on "Christian Values"! Anyone that says our Founding Fathers were "God" fearing men is completely ignorant of history. The opposite is more likely. While the majority of our Founding Fathers were deist, they WERE NOT considered Christians! Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both thought the idea of a Christian nation dangerous and weak. These men considered themselves "free thinkers" not controlled by any one church. So that being said, yes I am a conservative, NO I am not a bible thumper. While I believe in God…I abhor the god of the bible and religions!
Four establishments with full liquor licenses...YA HOO!! Now the folks with canes and wheelchairs can go bar hopping just like the good ole' days!!!! Those young whippersnappers won't be hanging around there anymore once we get a couple martini's and manhattans, or maybe a rob-roy, in us!
GOOD?????? Let me guess- you're a Christian as well! This is tragic for everybody involved. A wake up call is needed for those that text and drive....but Good is hardly apropos in this situation.
IN 2003!! The company lasted almost 10 years not 10 months! BIG DIFFERENCE!!!Except for the knot heads that want to spin it in the democratic direction! Plus the state loans was not pushed through and expidited by the Gov. like Solyndra was by the Obama Admin. Desparate reach!
She won't beat Brown!
Who really cares - She doesn't stand a chance against Brown. Although she might is she claims her African-American roots? Or.....better yet her Hispanic roots....yea that's it...She is Hispanic! WE WON!!
My condolences to the Ambrose family...Thank You Officer Ambrose. Your dedication to service is beyond any comprehensible measure. You are safe at home with God our Creator!
Increasing pay and vacations while the business is going down the tubes......sounds like a union job!
Words cannot describe the loss....so i will just say Thank You Officer Ambrose. My condolences to your family and the citizens of Springfield.
I'm sure our liberal politicians will allow people to gamble away their entire earnings and then replenish any losses with State funds! Heck, why don't we just give people more money in their State Benefits so that they can gamble! Why not? They too have a right to gamble just like you! What do you think you are special because you work hard for your money? Even Jesus said...share and share alike...what is mine is yours and vice versa!
How dare you? You just took away a union job! Was the contractor a Union member? Probably not! To deny a Union member the chance at overtime is disgusting! What is the city coming to?
My Mother told me the same thing....she was right!!!!


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Euryale was one of the Gorgons, monsters with snakes for hair thats gaze could turn any living thing to stone. It was during the Olympian Gods cosmic migration, that Euryale was freed from Tartarus by Phobos, the God of Fear. Along with the giant Ixion. Euryale disguised herself as a human worshipper of the Olympians to lure the earth bound god Hermes into a trap. The captured messenger gods caduceus was taken from him and used to free Ixion from his bonds. Once free Ixion and Euryale set about causing as much death and destruction as they could, while Phobos fed on the terror created. All the while the giant held the weakened hermes in his fist, forcing the god to watch the destruction of Boston. With Wonder Womans help, Hermes freed himself and seized his caduceus, with which he decapitated Euryale.Years later Euryale returned with her sister Stheno, alive and being held imprisoned on New Themyscira, home of the Amazons. They escaped when the islands were destroyed by the goddess Hera. The sisters rescued the sorceress Circe, who had also been kept imprisoned after her defeat at the hands of Wonder Woman. They coerced the witch to revive their long dead sister, Medusa. Medusa was then sent to kill Wonder Woman, champion of the Goddess, Athena. She fought Wonder Woman in a televised battle, but was bested and beheaded once again. Her sisters then attacked Wonder Woman with their claws and swords but were beaten back by the winged horce, Pegasus, who had sprung from the blood of their sister. The Gorgon sisters were then teleported to Tartarus for their crimes against Athena's champion.

Ina's Savory Coeur a la Creme
Savory Coeur a la Creme
from Ina Garten
12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature (I subbed neufchatel and added a little Ultra Gel)
1 cup heavy cream
1 lemon, zested
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 bottle chutney (recommended: Cross and Blackwell Major Grey's)
Crackers, for serving
Place the cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip until it is firm like whipped cream. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Beat on high speed until the mixture is very thick.
Line a 6-inch coeur a la creme mold or 6-inch sieve with a few layers of cheesecloth, allowing the excess to drape over the sides. Pour the cream mixture into the cheesecloth and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Fold the excess cheesecloth over the top of the cream. Place the mold on a plate or suspend the sieve over a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to serve, unmold the creme upside down onto a plate and pour the chutney over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Serve chilled with crackers.

Cree CEO: LED bulb marketing changing 'generations of belief'
At the company's annual meeting, Cree Inc. CEO Chuck Swoboda said the lighting company has made a "big investment" in marketing its new consumer-targeted LED light bulbs as part of a brand-building strategy.
"We are changing generations of belief about lighting," Swoboda said, speaking at the shareholders meeting that was held at the company's Research Triangle Park offices Tuesday.
Cree is a Durham-based maker of LED chips, components and lights. Its business has focused on selling LEDs to commercial and industrial customers. In March, the company announced the release of LED light bulbs targeted to consumers.
Designed to look like traditional incandescent light bulbs, the company released a warm-white bulb priced at $9.97 that consumes 6 watts of energy. It's designed to replace a traditional incandescent bulb that consumes 40 watts of energy. That bulb, and another slightly more expensive bulb designed to replace a 60-watt incandescent bulb, are sold exclusively at The Home Depot.
Swoboda said Cree officials wanted the bulbs to look like regular incandescent bulbs; to perform similarly, only better; to be priced so that consumers would have an incentive to switch from incandescent bulbs; and to be more energy efficient.
He said the company has paid for TV and other advertisements, has worked to get mentions in news stories, and has launched a website for consumers to market the bulbs.
He showed TV commercials written and created by the Raleigh-based creative agency Baldwin&. The longest commercial is 60 seconds, said Baldwin& founder David Baldwin. Named "Eulogy," the commercial shows a spokesman burying an old incandescent light bulb in a field.
The commercials launched April 20 on ABC and ESPN in conjunction with the NBA playoffs. They continue to air on the networks for a number of sporting events, mostly during NCAA college football games, according to an email from a company spokeswoman. Since the beginning of October, they've also been airing on the DIY and HGTV networks.
"It's going to take a lot more of this," Swoboda said.
Since the consumer-targeted LED bulbs' launch, Swoboda said investors have asked why the company has gotten into the low-margin consumer business. He said their release is part of a "high-margin brand strategy."
"It's much more than just selling a bulb," he said.
Peter Wahlstrom, a senior analyst who tracks Cree's performance for the investment research firm Morningstar Inc., indicated that the company's marketing investment had a role in a recent drop in stock price. At the market's opening the day after the company's first-quarter earnings release, Cree's stock price was down about 16 percent compared to the market's close on the day of the release.
The company had reported that its net income was up 38 percent to $30.5 million year-over-year in the quarter, and that its revenues were up 24 percent to $391 million. But Wahlstrom noted that the company's gross margin for its lighting products business was down nearly 5 percentage points.
"Yes there's a lot of revenue growth to be had, and Cree is angling to promote its bulbs and to be the market leader and to get some brand recognition in its market place, but it is apparently spending pretty heavily to do so," he said.
Wahlstrom said he believes the company is trying to "strike while the iron is hot" so it can get a lead over competitors.
"To me, they're working the marketing playbook as they should, and with the market expected to grow … it seems reasonable that they should be able to capture their fair share of the market," he said. "But meanwhile, they're not operating in a vacuum, there are going to be other plays that see potential, and want to see their products get to market as quickly as possible."

Crushed velvet, theatrical ruched drapes, chichi chandeliers: Café de Paris is knowingly louche with an unpretentious heart. Predominantly a weekend club – though the Moulin Rouge-style ballroom becomes a restaurant on Saturday nights – this iconic Piccadilly haunt hosts risqué entertainers, cabaret and live music as well as the crème of the annual London Burlesque Festival. Plush red beds for decadent lounging in the private rooms are popular with corporate types and hens alike, while the vintage feel of the main space and its balconies have enticed those after a turn-of-the-century, French-flavoured nightclub experience since the venue opened in 1924. Don't expect a seedy clientele, however; Café de Paris is famed for its starry fans, from real royalty in its early days to Prince and P Diddy in the noughties.

Skin Problems & Treatments Health Center
Lice, Scabies, and Your Skin
In this article
How Can Lice Be Prevented?
The best way to prevent lice is to avoid sharing combs, brushes, towels, scarves, hats, clothes, and other objects. Avoid close physical contact with someone who has lice. Examine and treat all members of your household who have had contact with someone who has lice.
If you find that your child has lice, notify your child's school, day care center, or babysitter. It is important to wash all combs, brushes, hats, and towels after each shampoo if anyone in your family has lice. You must also wash clothes, bed linens, and towels in the hot cycles of your washer and dryer. (Heat kills the insects.) It is not necessary to spray clothes or household objects with an insecticide.
Scabies is an itchy skin condition caused by a microscopic mite called Sarcoptes scabei. The mite burrows into the skin. Within several weeks of the time the mite burrows, an allergic reaction occurs and severe itching begins.
The condition can affect people of any social class and everyone is susceptible. However, scabies occurs more often in situations involving crowded living conditions with poor hygiene.
How Does a Person Get Scabies?
In most cases, scabies develops after close, prolonged contact with another person. Scabies can easily be spread between sexual partners and household members. Scabies-causing mites can be scratched off the skin and can cause an infestation in another person. Infestation may also occur by sharing clothing, towels, and bedding -- mites can live in bedding for up to 24 hours or more.
What Are the Symptoms of Scabies?
The primary symptom of scabies is severe itching, which often is so bad that it keeps people awake at night. The itching is caused as the female mite burrows into the skin, lays eggs, and produces toxins that cause allergic reactions. Small red bumps (resembling tiny bites or pimples) can form on the skin.
The most common areas for scabies to develop on the body are warmer sites such as skin folds, areas where clothing is tight (such as the belt line or buttocks), on the penis, and around the nipples.
Excessive scratching may lead to bacterial infections of the skin in people who have scabies.

Larry Lorenz, professor emeritus in the Loyola University New Orleans School of Mass Communication, will examine the ever-changing face of media in New Orleans with "The Press of New Orleans: The Past. The Present. The Future?" on Friday, June 22 at 3:30 p.m.
The seminar will focus on the history of New Orleans' daily newspaper, The Times-Picayune, and discuss its future, in light of the recent announcement that the newspaper will print only three days a week as it shifts to an online media format.
New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu says he's planning to talk with owners of the Times-Picayune for details about cutbacks.
New Orleans has survived the Civil War, yellow fever, the Depression and a string of spectacular political shenanigans. But its award-winning newspaper – The Times-Picayune – won't be around to tell readers each day how the city is rebounding from Hurricane Katrina.
The announcement that the Times-Picayune is making cutbacks and planning to print only three copies a week has shocked some community leaders. But one leading expert in journalism says shifting to online delivery is a clear industry path.
The Times-Picayune, New Orleans' only daily newspaper, is announcing major cutbacks. The Pulitzer Prize-winning paper will be printed only three days a week.

Waiter's Key
In 1795, the first corkscrew patent was granted to the Reverend Samuell Henshall, in England.
A standard corkscrew consists of a pointed metal helix (also called the "worm" attached to a handle. The user twists the helix into the cork and once embedded (usually with one twist still exposed) a vertical pull extracts the cork.
A sommelier knife, waiter's friend or wine key is a corkscrew in a folding body like a pocket knife. It was originally conceived by the German Karl Wienke in 1882 and patented in Germany, England, and America.
An arm extends to brace against the lip of the bottle for leverage when removing the cork. Some keys have two steps on the lever; can be double hinged, and often also a bottle opener. A small hinged knife blade is housed in the handle end for removing the foil wrapping the neck of many wine bottles.
One word of warning, the TSA does not allow wine keys on airplanes and now owns at least a dozen of my often forgotten, well worn waiter's keys-NW.

Gerhard Richter, one of the most internationally significant artists of our times, granted filmmaker Corinna Belz access to his studio in the spring and summer of 2009 where he was working on a series of large abstract paintings. In quiet, highly concentrated images, the film gives us a fly-on-the-wall perspective of a very personal, tension-filled process of artistic creation. In her intelligent and perceptive film, Corinna Belz brings us closer to the complex processes of artistic creation. Gerhard Richter - Painting is the penetrating portrait of an artist at work - and a fascinating film about the art of seeing.

Valiant for Truth - Apologetics
A recent article reveals that science is not as objective as many would like to think. An scientists from Princeton and the University of Tokyo have challenged one of the commonly accepted theories about the possibility of life on other planets. The currently accepted theory presupposes that out of all of the cosmos, ten thousand planets have the proper conditions to sustain life.
Evidence for God, edited by William Dembski and Michael Licona, consists of 50 short essays written by various philosophers, scientists and theologians, all arguing for God in general and the Christian God in particular. The 50 essays are split into four sections: Section one deals with the question of philosophy, section two with the question of science, section three with the question of Jesus and section four with the question of the Bible. Perceived objections to God and the Christian faith in these four areas are dealt with accordingly, with the intention of proving the existence of God and the truth of the Christian faith.
Campus Crusade for Christ, the parachurch ministry of Bill and Vonnette Bright, has decided to drop the name of Christ from their organization. You can find the news coverage here. According to the article, nine percent of Christians and twenty percent...
No sooner after worship on the Lord's Day do we leave our sanctuaries that we find ourselves rubbing shoulders with unbelievers who may ask us for the reason of the hope that lies within us. Others (sometimes believers) may challenge our basic, orthodox beliefs. Are we as church leaders prepared to offer biblical responses? Are God's people equipped to give proper answers?
The University of California San Diego hosted a debate on March 7: Is religion a problem for society? This question was quickly refocused, however, by the participants. Dinesh D'Souza is president of King's College in New York and a Christian. Dan Barker, former Pentecostal missionary, now co-president of the Freedom of Religion Foundation describes himself as an "atheistic agnostic". This was their sixth debate, covering six states, since their visit to Harvard in 2008. Their primary concern: Is Christianity a problem for society?

Fairfax resident back in Libya leading the rebellion
March 31, 2011 - 12:01 am
According to ABC News and other published reports, Khalifa Haftar, who lived in Fairfax County for the past 20 years, is now one of the men coordinating the anti-government uprising in Libya.
Haftar recently travelled to Libya from his home in Fairfax County to command the rebel army.
His story is rich in redemption. Once a top military leader, Haftar fell out of favor with Muammar Gadhafi after Libya lost a long and sporadic war with Chad in the late 1980s.
He fled in exile to America, taking up residence somewhere in Fairfax County.
Now he's back in Libya working to liberate the nation.
ABC7's Jay Korff says one published report suggested the CIA was involved in relocating Haftar to the U.S.

Lawsuit Alleges eChurch Made Deceptive Solicitations To Wisconsin Businesses and Billed for Services That Were Not Ordered
MADISON - The Wisconsin Department of Justice has settled a consumer protection lawsuit against a California corporation, Radical Persson, Inc., and its owner and operator, Lars Persson, of Huntington Beach. The defendants sold internet services to small businesses under the names eChurch Network and ILab Technologies.
According to the lawsuit, under the direction of Mr. Persson, the company's telemarketers made misleading representations to solicit businesses to purchase its internet-related services, and then enrolled many businesses as customers even though they did not authorize the purchase of the company's services. Since August 2003, nearly 600 Wisconsin businesses were charged for services totaling at least $119,000.
"Under Wisconsin law, there is a price to pay for charging others for services they did not ask for," said Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen. "The defendants are paying that price now."
To collect the charges, Radical Persson, Inc. contracted with ILD Telecommunications, Inc., which as a billing aggregator has the ability to place charges on customers' telephone bills for collection by the customer's telephone company. The state previously reached a settlement with ILD, requiring it to institute practices designed to detect and prevent "cramming," or the placement of unauthorized charges on consumers' telephone bills.
Under the settlement reached with Radical Persson, Inc. and Lars Persson, the state was awarded judgment in the amount of $100,000, which includes forfeitures, restitution to injured businesses, and reimbursement of the state's costs of investigating and prosecuting the action. The judgment also prohibits the defendants from engaging in direct marketing activities in Wisconsin for eight years.
"We will continue to work with the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to ensure the state's consumer protection laws are enforced," said Van Hollen.
The settlement was approved by Dane County Circuit Court Judge David Flanagan. Assistant Attorney General John Greene prosecuted the case. The case was investigated by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade & Consumer Protection.

Quote debrajean: Am I the only one who thinks these 2 have great chemistry>
Sharon has chemistry with every man she has been paired with, in a relationship or not, but I will admit that Nicholas is the most smokin' so far!
If they do get back together, I hope Nick will stop his boyish antics, though I can't imagine he will stop playing the video games!
I totally agree with smokin' hot with nick. But she has no chemistry at all with Jack. I do believe he is the only one I think she doesn't. Other then him your're right!
Quote sarasecret007: What?! No way!
Noway to you! but yes way to me!
i believe the beorge ship has sailed. as sharon told him, she only needed him she didn't love him. and i agree. besides, shick is acomin
shirley 2
Since Ashley is coming back she and Brad could hook up. If she and Victor doesn't. I hate to see a Sharon and Nick thing again,didn't like them two together in the first time around, they don't have the what it takes to be a couple.
Quote shirley 2: Since Ashley is coming back she and Brad could hook up. If she and Victor doesn't. I hate to see a Sharon and Nick thing again,didn't like them two together in the first time around, they don't have the what it takes to be a couple.
I agree with you on ashley/Brad..they were good together. Disagree with nick/sharon. They were married 10 years. thats long for a soap opera marriage in their generation. I grew up with them so of course I love them. Some habbits never die.
Quote Patience4u: They do but being with Brad is like being with Jack. I grew up with Shick and want them back. Sorry if this annoys anyone. But I'm a shick fan through and through.
Sharon and Nick are listed as a "supercouple" for a reason. They had great chemistry, and it 's obvious by today's scene that they still do!
It's up to the writers which path their characters will take, but I think they're starting to hint at a reunion. I've been watching soaps for 35 years, and they're one of the best couples I've ever seen on a soap.
I liked her with Brad but I also like her with Nick. With either one, she'd be a winner, but it looks like the writers are le aning towards a Shick reunion.
I guess I truely haven't seen any "hint" of a reunion with Sharon and Nick and I PRAY that never happens - that was a disaster from the word go - nothing entertaining about a couple that constantly cheats on each other and doesn't turn to each other in time of crisis - rather runs away from each other every time a crisis hits! I think Sharon loved Brad at the time of their affair - she asked him to not marry Victoria and run off with her - she told Nick on the plane before it lifted off that she loved Brad - she told Brad that he was the last one she thought about as she flew off the cliff. But now, I think she is over him - who knows she is always confused about such things!
I see it coming and have seen it coming from the vault scene and now Noah is back....and the fights between RS and Red flakey insecure threatening comments....even she knows it comming.

An Obama spending "cut" means not getting to increase spending as much as planned. President Obama's demagoguery on the sequester is just despicable. He relies upon public ignorance of the facts.
When the U.S. is running a trillion-dollar deficit per year, it is obvious that reducing projected annual spending by $92 billion -- or only 9.2% of the annual deficit -- will cause the debt to continue to rise by over $9 trillion over the next decade. In fact, the only purported spending "cuts" arising from sequester are merely reductions in the overall growth of spending, not reduced spending.

President's Report 2009–10
Art in the President's rePort
The images of new buildings on the Grounds in the 2009–10 President's Report
were captured by architectural photographer Scott Smith (Architecture '94). Mr.
Smith spent several days over the spring and fall visiting recently constructed
University facilities made possible by private support. Many of those buildings are
included here. Thanks in large part to the Campaign for the University of Virginia,
these new facilities for teaching and research are serving U.Va. students and
faculty today. The buildings, which house various disciplines across the Grounds,
are essential investments in higher education and the future of the University.

This story was corrected on Aug. 18, 2014. An explanation follows the story.
With the school year set to begin this month and many of the fall sports being contested outdoors, high school athletes at Montgomery County Public Schools will, perhaps, be able to participate at facilities superior to those in neighboring Prince George's County. In some instances, private funding paved the way for those differences.
While a handful of MCPS high schools have transitioned from natural grass fields to artificial turf courtesy of the taxpayers, several schools have received upgrades that were largely privately-funded. Thomas S. Wootton High School has a turf field that cost $1.3 million, of which $900,000 was paid for by the Bethesda Soccer Club. Wootton parents raised another $200,000 and the taxpayers paid the remaining $200,000, according to Bethesda Soccer Club president Greg Dillon.
"It was amazing what the parent booster club could do," Wootton soccer coach Keith Yanity said. "They probably campaigned for a year to raise the money. They did everything from holding fundraisers to literally going door-to-door. It's certainly not something that every school or community can do."
During the past three years, the Montgomery County Board of Education oversaw more than 100 projects that were privately funded, nearly 20 percent of which cost $10,000 or more. Damascus High School replaced its scoreboard at a cost of $110,000 and Winston Churchill got a new one for $80,000, with both schools generating the revenue through private donations and parent-teacher association fundraising efforts, according to the Montgomery County Board of Education President Phil Kauffman.
"Damascus parents and alumni have always been very passionate about their athletic programs, especially football," Damascus High School Athletic Director Joe Doody said. "It probably wasn't easy for them to raise the money, but they all had a goal in mind. You probably see that a lot more often at private schools where an alum just shows up one day and writes the school a check for a new field or new gym."
Several other of the county's public high schools also received private funds for athletic venue improvements over the last four years. While none of them compare to the $1.3 million turf field at Wootton, a handful of schools received roughly $200,000 in private funds to install or replace equipment for athletic events, according to Kauffman, after the board approved a total budget of $2.28 million for the upcoming fiscal year.
The Northwest High School Booster Club paid $40,000 for the school's electronic scoreboard upgrade. Clarksburg's booster club raised $30,000 to build new dugouts for the baseball and softball teams. Poolesville's booster club ponied up $25,000 for a press box and storage shed. Seneca Valley purchased a new scoreboard for $22,000 thanks to its independent activity fund. Montgomery Blair's booster club raised $17,500 to replace its stadium scoreboard.
All Maryland public schools can apply for grants through the Maryland State Department of Education. Each year over 50 companies and an equal number of family foundations/memorial funds provide grants and other sources of funding, according to the department's website.
Correction: Northwest High School's scoreboard was paid for by the Booster Club.

WELL!! MR GILBRIDE FINALLY GOT SOME IMAGINATION!!! and put in a lot of new plays (which he should have done a looooooooooooooooooooooong time ago). I have always felt the Giants were much too predictable on offense.....ergo making them far too easy to defend. I hope he continues to do this. It is far more effective and fun to watch. I enjoyed this game, finally!!! (from an offense side of things).

Rave Announces New Owner of Closed Maumee 18 PropertyWritten by Staff Reports | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Calvary Assembly of God purchased the Maumee 18 Theater on Conant Street.
The church plans to relocate from its current property on Glendale Avenue in the later part of 2011.
"Calvary believes in changing lives to change the world, said Chad Gilligan, lead pastor in a press release. "The purchase of a larger facility provides unlimited possibilities for the expansion of Calvary's ministries and the involvement of the community. Calvary looks forward to having a community presence in this strategic location."
The theater was closed by Rave Motion Pictures in July. Jeremy Devine, vice president of marketing for Rave, previously told Toledo Free Press that finding a tenant for the empty building was a priority for the company.
In a press release Rave said, "We are delighted that this long time local community based church has acquired the property. We wish Calvary Assembly of God great success in their future home."
