How Languages Evolve
TedEd has a video by Alex Gendler on how languages evolve. Nothing surprising or out of the ordinary for those with any kind of background in historical linguistics, but it's a good overview for the neophyte.
(I'm going to take a moment to bitch about TedEd's presentation. First, they don't allow the embedding of the video on other sites. That's their prerogative, but I don't see any logic to it. It's not like they have ads or are otherwise losing money when others embed the video. The second, and much more important complaint, is the lack of a date. When was this video made? I've noticed more and more websites and blogs not noting when content is posted. This is a serious deficiency for a site that provides educational materials. Instructors need to know how current the materials are.)
Where Do English Words Come From?
A recent thread on this site's discussion forum got me thinking about the borrowing of foreign words into English, a language with a reputation for indiscriminately appropriating words from other languages. Etymology books and websites, including this one, often highlight the diversity of languages that English draws its vocabulary from, but how much of this reputation is deserved? Does English really borrow that many words? And does English really filch a lot of words from many different languages? The answers may be a bit surprising, but when you look at the data in light of history, they make a lot of sense.Read the rest of the article...
Nate Silver Takes on Baby Names
The website fivethirtyeight.com, best known for its data-driven political and sports analysis, has a rather good post on the popularity of baby names in the United States.
Swa meaht me bannan
As part of a rather inspired class assignment, students at Grinnell College in Iowa translated Carly Rae Jepsens' song Call Me Maybe into Old English and produced a video:
It's a rather faithful translation of Jepsen's modern English lyrics, with a few alterations to accommodate anachronisms. For example, pennies and dimes becomes penning ond sceattas (pennies and wealth), jeans becomes brec (trousers), baby becomes loflice (praiseworthy one), and my number becomes min nama (my name).
The translation doesn't use Old English prosody, using rhyme instead of alliteration. That's a valid artistic choice and makes the Old English version of the song instantly recognizable, although creating an alliterative version would have been a cool exercise.
I also wince at the faux medieval/Harry Potter motif in the video. But then, the subject of Jepsen's song is distinctly not Anglo-Saxon, so strict cultural adherence isn't really possible.
Still, it's a very clever and fun class project.
What is a Photocopier?
The New York Times is running this video, a dramatization of an actual legal deposition. The words are verbatim from the transcripts, but the actors were given license to perform them as they saw fit, so the video is not necessarily a true representation of what happened.
It's a brilliant video that shows how much we rely on general categories and definitions when we speak and the pitfalls encountered when trying to pin a concept down precisely. Watch all the way to the end for a stunning demonstration of genericization of a trademark.
(Follow-up: According to Kevin Underhill of Lowering the Bar (a hilarious blog of legal humor, BTW), at issue in the case is whether copying onto a CD-ROM is "photocopying." Ohio law allows the county clerk's office to charge $2 per page for photocopies of public legal documents—pricey, but not totally unreasonable when you consider staffing costs. But the county clerk's office took the position that it could charge $2 for each page of material copied onto a CD-ROM. One law firm saw its monthly bill for photocopies jump from around $1,000 to $100,000. Hence the man's unwillingness to say what was meant by "photocopy." If he gave the obvious answer, he'd be providing evidence against his employer and costing the county a boatload of money. But he didn't want to look like an idiot either.)

breaking bad
The popular U. S. television show Breaking Bad (2008–13) is about a high-school chemistry teacher in Albuquerque who, after being diagnosed with lung cancer and with the assistance of an ex-student turned failed drug dealer, begins to cook and sell crystal meth. While the show has been popular with both audiences and critics, the title has baffled many. What does breaking bad mean? Where does the phrase come from?Read the rest of the article...

The word triumph comes to us from Latin, but its usual meaning in that language is not the one we commonly give to it in English. To the ancient Romans, a triumphus was a parade celebrating a great military victory. The victorious general would ride a chariot through the streets of Rome to the steps of the Senate, a slave standing beside him holding a crown of laurels over his head. The general's army would follow, leading the defeated enemy commander, captured slaves, and great wagons of spoils from the victory. The day was a holiday and the entire city would turn out to cheer, to feast, and to drink. Roman poets also used the word triumphus to refer to the victory itself, as did later prose writers in Imperial Rome. But this second sense was relatively rare in Latin, and the word usually referred only to the processional and accompanying celebrations.Read the rest of the article...

Are tablets like the iPad the revolutionay technology for older people? The article quoted from below argues that they are.
Demography is, indeed, destiny. The world — particularly the wealthy OECD countries — is growing older. This creates enormous fiscal strains for social welfare states but fantastic market opportunities for device-driven innovators. Mobile phones are too small; their screens too tiny and keyboards too minute. But tablets have emerged as ideal media platforms for those requiring larger fonts and bigger keys. The iPad — originally marketed as the hip & cool media consumption device — has ceased to be a symbol of youth and vitality. It's now how silver haired executives — and 75 year old grandmas — read the news, manage their email and play games with the kids. When this reality is linked to emerging medical research indicating that mental exercise can delay the onset and impact of cognitive diminution, it's clear that there are more reasons for the aged population to have tablets than not. Any company with older customers that doesn't customize apps and offerings for their 60+ users are guilty of brand-destructive age discrimination.

Basilico Pizzeria
The restaurants have a design such as often seen on the French coast of the Adriatic. Both locations have large glass windows allowing patrons to feel as if they were outdoors.
Primarily a pizzeria, with a menu that offers more than 50 different pies, each baked in a eucalyptus wood-fired oven. The crust is thin, but not-to-thin, and the bottom of the pie slightly browned with the perfect amount of sauce and loaded with fresh ingredients. The pizza rivals the best in Bangkok and they've become so popular, they have opened a second location with more spots around town in the planning stage.
My two dining partners and I were about to embark on a pizza and pasta feast, hoping we could accomplish this before anybody realized we were here to review the restaurant. The first thing that I noticed was the wine list has more than 40 quality reds (mostly Italian) on the menu. Something else that I observed is they have more than 10 different wines available by the glass. This is a growing trend in quality restaurants, giving consumers more choics of wine tasting during different courses of their meal. We all opted to have a glass of their house wine, the Trebbiano Pasqua, a 2006 vintage for my friends who both enjoy drinking white wines with a fruity body while I chose the house red, the Sangiovese Pasqua with more of a medium body.

Add harissa, turmeric, baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and egg and egg white; pulse to combine. Add lentils; puree until almost smooth. Transfer mixture to a bowl, and stir in a little more than half the feta.
Whisk remaining feta, the yogurt, lemon juice, and garlic in a small bowl. Combine cucumber, cress, and mint in another bowl.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place a scant tablespoon of scallion greens in pan, and spoon about an eighth of the batter on top, spreading to make a 3-inch cake. Repeat, making 4 cakes at a time. Cook until golden brown, flipping once, about 6 minutes. Add remaining teaspoon oil, and repeat.
Divide sauce among 4 plates; top with salad. Place cakes next to greens, and serve.

Carlos Slim Helu, the world's richest man, is breaking bread with some of Latin America's biggest business leaders and billionaires at a summit being hosted in Brazil. A spokesman for Slim confirmed that it is a meeting of businessmen and philanthropists.
According to Brazilian magazine VEJA, other Brazilian family scions and billionaires at the summit include João Roberto Marinho, Pedro Moreira Salles and Eike Batista, Brazil's richest man, who vows to one day leave Slim to the dust as he takes his spot in Forbes' World Billionaires List. Former Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is reportedly speaking at the summit.
Slim, who hosted a similar mogul meet-up last year, originally had the idea to assemble Latin America's richest family heads eight years ago. Back in 2003, my colleague Kerry Dolan reported on a secret meeting in Mexico City that included around 30 of Latin America's biggest businessmen. Billionaire attendees back then included: Joseph Safra of Brazil, Gustavo Cisneros of Venezuela, Lorenzo Zambrano of Mexico, Alberto Bailleres of Mexico. Aside from discussing business, political and social issues, activities included a boat trip along the coast, golf, tennis, beach time followed by lunch at Slim's home. And, of course, a private jet ride.
Update: According to our sources, this year's gathering is taking place in Sao Paulo and is being hosted by some of Brazil's leading families, including the Safras (Safra Bank), Marinhos (media), Odebrecht (energy, infrastructure, logistics and transportation giant) and Ermirio de Moraes (Votorantim).
Stay tuned as we get more details on what's on the program this year.

Texas land boss may still sell Christmas Mountains
Merrisa Brown, By Ramit Plushnick-Masti - Associated Press : April 9, 2010
This Oct. 10, 2007 file photo provided by Betty Alex shows the Christmas Mountains in far West Texas. Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson says he will sell the Christmas Mountains in West Texas to a private bidder or even lease it for bow hunting, but will not transfer control to the National Park Service if hunting won't be permitted.
HOUSTON — The Christmas Mountains in Big Bend, an isolated group of wilderness peaks, will not be transferred to the National Park Service, and instead may be sold to a private bidder or even leased for bow hunting, the state's land boss said Thursday.
Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson said he believes the National Park Service would not be the best manager of the land. Patterson, an ardent guns rights supporter who packs a .22 Magnum in his boot, has frequently insisted guns and hunting be permitted on the property, although both had been banned in national parks.
"No guns, no hunting, no deal," Patterson said in February in an e-mail to Luke Metzger, director of Environment Texas, a group that has opposed the sale of the 9,200 acres of wilderness to a private landowner.
In February, Congress lifted the gun ban and Metzger thought this could help sway Patterson. But he now is again considering to a sale, even though the idea of selling the property generated controversy a few years ago because opponents feared the public could be shut out of the land or it could be used for development.
"I'm smarter now than I was then," Patterson said, explaining his change of heart. "I've been out there quite a few times ... and this is not something that would be best served in the National Park Service."
The National Park Service, environmental activists and Patterson have long argued over what to do with the wilderness terrain that was donated to the state in 1991.
John Poindexter, a wealthy Texas businessman who owns the Cibolo Creek Ranch — a resort that is a 90-minute drive from the mountain range — bid on the property three years ago. He said he may still be interested in purchasing the tract, though he estimates it would cost nearly $1 millon to rid the area of invasive plant species, fence it and restore enough of the old roads to make it accessible.
The highest bid at the time was $650,000.
The 65-year-old Poindexter, the second-highest bidder, said the land has no economic value. Calling himself an "ardent conservationist," Poindexter said if he owned the land he might repopulate it with elk or buffalo. The conservation easement put on the property by the donors, the Richard King Mellon Foundation and the Conservation Fund, bar anything else, he added.
"There really isn't much use you can put it to other than simply admiring it," Poindexter said.
The mountains, Patterson said, are largely inaccessible since 18 of the 19 perimeter miles are attached to private lands. The one mile remaining is accessible via an eight-mile hike on rough terrain from the national park, and that is available to visitors, he added.
The superintendent of Big Bend National Park, William Wellman, said he did not know the park service was no longer under consideration, but that his 13-page management proposal remains on the table. The park service oversees the nearby Big Bend preserve, providing a variety of visitor services, including search and rescue services and maintaining hiking trails.
The park service proposal to take over the land outlines the problems with allowing hunting, including the nearly $200,000 it would cost to make the area accessible to hunters, and a recurring annual cost of nearly $140,000 thereafter. The money would pay in part to create a road to the mountain, maintain a game population and pass legislation allowing hunting.
Patterson questions the park service's sincerity. He believes the NPS views it more as a liability than an asset, and believes a private owner would restore the habitat. He also wonders whether it would be able to make it accessible to the public.
This, Wellman said, is untrue.
"We do think it wold be an appropriate addition to the park," he said, then added, "considering we're the agency that put a trail to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and to Angel's Landing in Zion National Park in Utah, I think we can create access to this."

You will find two ice-bars - one for the tourists - one for the Habaneros - we paid tripple the price for two balls of ice ! i do not know the price the habaneros paid - but sometimes they have to wait making a queu for hours.

A Walk through Vedado
Vedado, located along the Caribbean waterfront, was developed extensively during the decades between 1930 and 1960, when Havana developed as a major destination for U.S. tourists. High-rise hotels, casinos, restaurants, and upscale commercial establishments, many reflecting the then-popular art deco style, mushroomed in the Vedado district.
In the late 1990s Vedado represented the principal commercial area of the city, and its environs were home to a variety of important landmarks including the Hotel Nacional, José Martí Stadium, the University of Havana, the National Theater of Cuba, and the Colón Cemetery.
We walked from Malecon to Calle 23 and la Rampa, then Avenida de los Presidentes, we have seen the statue of Don quixote (1980) and tried famous ice creams Coppelia

Tribuna Antimperialista
This is a public square facing the United States Interest Section, the closest thing in Cuba to an American embassy. The square is full of black flags that obscure the electronic ticker tape message board on the building that the US uses to spell out news & critiques of life in Cuba. The whole area seemed to have a pretty high police presence, so I didn't hang about there too long.
A comfortable neighbourhood of Habana
a short taxi ride away from Old Habana is the barrio of Vedado, which sprang up as the residence of the bourgeoisie in the centuries past.
Home of the University of Havana, and the hotels Havana Hilton Libre, Hotel Bugsy Siegel Nacional, the famous ice cream parlour ( seen in the movie strawberry and chocolate), movie theatre Yara, malecon and the infamous Interests Section of the Yanquis, and innumerable marble buildings of the guisanos who left the island rather than struggle for a better life for all.
a very pleasant neighbourhood, which I consider to be my neighbourhood in la Habana, has a long tradition of friendliness to the visitors.

cubana de aviacion, aero caribbean, aeropostal, airfrance, angolan airlines, mexicana, all close to one another on la Rampa
Vedado is the residential neighbourhood part of Havana. The avenues are wider and more spacious. It is a safe and rather pleasant area to stay in, actually.
Streets running north-east are numbered from Calle (Street) 1 to Calle 39. Streets running north-west are numbered from Calle 28 to Calle 2, then the shaded Paseo before naming from Calle A to Calle O.
Address is always given by a Calle, followed by which Calles it is in between. There are stone blocks at the corner of every junction, stating the names of the Calle intersection, example 15 and A.
There are several hotels, museums and cinemas in this part of town. The airline building is along Calle 23, near the Malecon. Huge flea and craft markets are located on Calle 1 between Calle D and Calle E and on Calle 23 between Calle M and Calle N. The Necropolis Cristobal Colon Cemetery and Castillo del Principe are in Vedado as well.
The extremely popular Coppelia ice-cream parlour is a sight to behold as you observe the huge (and I mean, HUGE) queues of peso-paying Cubans waiting patiently for the chance to partake of the ice-cream. As tourists, flashing your US dollars, probably get you instant ice-cream, naturally charged the special 'foreigner's price'.
Memorial a las Victimas del Maine
On the waterfront in front of the Hotel Nacional is a memorial to the 266 sailors who died when the US battleship Maine exploded in Havana harbour on Feb 15th 1898. It had been sent to protect US interests during Cuba's independence war with Spain. The iron eagle that topped the monument was knocked down by crowds after the 1959 Revolution.

I believe Christ to be spirit, not physical, when Christ came here through Jesus he came as primarily Savior etc...
Has Christ been here other times, in other people, before Jesus and after, however not as the savior?
:cloud9: So do I, and I think He was all thru the Word, appearing. He has ascended and descended many times in the Word. He appears in a many-membered body now. He descends out of our heavens and appears in the "clouds". Clouds are dust, ie. broken up dirt. We are told to break up the fallow ground, those who fall upon Him are broken.........
what I'm implying is, did he maybe dwell in others for extended periods of time, such as Muhammad, Buddha etc...
Let us define Christ first
Using Wikipedia for a general definition.
Christ is the English term for the Greek word Χριστός (Christós), which literally means "The Anointed One." The Hebrew word for Christ is מָשִׁיחַ (Mašíaḥ, usually transliterated Messiah).
The word is often misunderstood to be the surname of Jesus due to the numerous mentions of Jesus Christ in the Christian Bible. Often used as a more formal-sounding synonym for Jesus, the word is in fact a title, hence its common reciprocal use Christ Jesus, meaning The Anointed One, Jesus. Followers of Jesus became known as Christians because they believed that Jesus was the Christ, or Messiah, prophesied about in the Tanakh (which Christians term the Old Testament). The majority of Jews reject this claim and are still waiting for the Messiah to come (see Jewish Messiah). Most Christians now wait for the Second Coming of Christ when they believe he will fulfill the rest of the Messianic prophecy.
As for other religions, I don't think so and definitely not Mohamed, the Quran has much in opposition to the bible particularly the New Testament.
One thing that always puzzled me was this verse
Act 16:6 And coming through the Phrygian and the Galatian region; and by the Holy Spirit being forbidden to speak the Word in Asia; :this:
Act 16:7 having come to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia. But the Spirit did not allow them.
--- Quote ---In Acts 14:20,21, it is narrated that Paul and Barnabas, after being driven out of Lystra, departed to Derbe, where they "preached the gospel .... and made many disciples." But they did not further. Paul's mission included only the centers of Greco-Roman civilization; it was no part of his plan to pass over the frontier of the province into non- Roman territory. This aspect of his purpose is illustrated by the reference to Derbe on his second journey (Acts 16:1). Paul started from Antioch and "went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches" (Acts 15:41). "Then he came to Derbe and Lystra" (Acts 16:1 the King James Version). The unwarned reader might forget that in going from Cilicia to Derbe, Paul must have, passed through a considerable part of Antiochus' territory, and visited the important cities of Heracleia-Cybistra and Laranda. But his work ends with the Roman Cilicia and begins again with the Roman Galatia; to him, the intervening country is a blank. Concentration of effort, and utilization only of the most fully prepared material were the characteristics of Paul's missionary journeys in Asia Minor. That Paul was successful in Derbe may be gathered (as Ramsay points out) from the fact that he does not mention Derbe among the places where he had suffered persecution (2 Timothy 3:11). Gaius of Derbe (among others) accompanied Paul to Jerusalem, in charge of the donations of the churches to the poor in that city (Acts 20:4).

$500 million in deductions added to NC tax plan
Jun. 04, 2013 @ 12:58 PM
The North Carolina House Republicans' tax plan is headed to the floor with an additional half billion dollars in deductions to help the real estate business.
The House Finance Committee took up the plan Tuesday. The proposal reduces individual and corporate income tax rates but charges sales taxes for more services. The plan is backed by Gov. Pat McCrory.
An amendment by Rep. Julie Howard of Mocksville lifts a $25,000 limit on mortgage or charitable deductions and restores a property tax exemption. Rep. David Lewis of Dunn said Howard's amendment will require finding about $525 million to cover the changes, which will mean raising overall tax rates.
The amendment passed. The bill heads to the House floor Wednesday.

Olive Hill man, 19, suspected in park theft
OLIVE HILL, Ky. -- An Olive Hill man was arrested Wednesday in connection with a robbery at the Carter Caves State Resort Park last August, according to Kentucky State Police.
Shawn Knipp, 19, of Olive Hill has been charged with theft by unlawful taking and transported to the Carter County Detention Center, according to the release.
Knipp was the on-duty clerk and reported victim of a robbery on Aug. 25 at the lodge. He told authorities money was taken from him and the cash register at the lodge, according to the release.
The investigation revealed numerous inconsistencies between statements made to detectives and evidence located at the scene, according to the release. The case was presented to a Carter County grand jury.

Yarmouth Clippers Spring Sports Previews
Spring is always a fine season at Yarmouth High School and this one should produce plenty of triumph. Baseball has been among the best teams in the region the past few years and this time around, might just be the best of the bunch. Softball welcomes a new coach, who will bring plenty of excitement to a program that could contend. Boys' lacrosse fell one goal shy of the state game last spring and looks to get over the hump this time around. The girls' team also just missed out on a trip to states and has the pieces in place to make a title run. The track team just keeps getting bigger and better. Boys' tennis hopes to be one of the top teams in the region and the girls' squad, despite a big graduation hit, will also be heard from.
Coach: Marc Halsted (seventh year, 73-37 overall record)
2012 Record: 11-7 (Lost, 7-1, in 10 innings, to Cape Elizabeth in Western Class B semifinals)
Top returning players: Calvin Cooper (Senior), Kevin Haley (Senior), Matt Highland (Senior), Chester Jacobs (Senior), Nick Lainey (Senior), Thomas Sullivan (Senior), Caleb Uhl (Senior),
Pivotal games: May 8 (H) CAPE ELIZABETH, May 10 (H) GREELY, May 13 @ Falmouth, May 15 @ Greely, May 20 @ Cape Elizabeth, May 22 @ Freeport, May 24 (H) FALMOUTH, May 29 @ York
Coach's comment: "We're excited for the season. We have 12 seniors who've worked hard for four years as high school and American Legion players. Obviously, Falmouth, Greely and York have big names, but we're going to be a scrappy, tough group who competes every day. Our goal, as always, is to win 10-plus games, make the playoffs and rely on our veteran group to lead us as far as we can go."
The Forecaster's forecast: Yarmouth has been the model of consistency under Halsted and after back-to-back trips to the regional final, the Clippers were denied in agonizing fashion by the Capers last spring in the semifinal round. This year's team could get back to that point and even take it all the way to the state game for the first time in Class B. It won't be easy in a league that features defending champion Falmouth, perennial powerhouse Greely and several other tough squads, but Yarmouth has the ingredients to get the job done. On the mound, Jacobs (5-2, 1.75 earned run average last season), Lainey (3-1, 2.63 ERA) and sophomores Jordan Brown and Ethan Perrier give the Clippers talent and depth. The lineup features speed and pop. Uhl, a second-team all-star last year, is the leadoff guy and plays centerfield. He hit .298 with 17 hits and 25 runs scored a year ago. Cooper (.422, 19 hits, nine RBI), the catcher, could emerge as one of the top players in the region. He'll look to drive in runs, along with first-baseman-when-he-doesn't-pitch Lainey (.267, 12 hits), shortstop Sullivan (.328, 16 RBI) and Perrier (first base). Haley (second base) and Highland (third base) will spark the bottom half of the order. Senior catcher/third baseman Ian Grover will also contribute. Yarmouth has a lot of tough foes on the schedule, but is seasoned when it comes to big games. The Clippers will continue their style of putting pressure on the opposing defense and relying on its defense, pitching and timely hitting to get the job done. There are a lot of quality teams in Western B, but there's every reason to believe that Yarmouth can be the best of the bunch. The Clippers will be heard from plenty in the weeks to come.
Coach: Amy McMullin (first year)
2012 Record: 5-11 (no postseason)
Top returning players: Mckenzie Gray (Senior), Monica Austin (Junior), Melissa Levinson (Junior), Alexa Sullivan (Junior), Kallie Hutchinson (Sophomore)
Pivotal games: April 29 @ Gray-NG, May 6 (H) FRYEBURG, May 8 (H) CAPE ELIZABETH, May 10 (H) GREELY, May 13 @ Falmouth, May 15 @ Greely, May 17 (H) GRAY-NG, May 20 @ Cape Elizabeth, May 24 (H) FALMOUTH
Coach's comment: "We will look for Mckenzie, Alexa, Kallie, Monica and Mel to be the core of our lineup. Mckenzie, Alexa and Libby will get the majority of innings on the mound. We're very excited about this group of girls. They've responded well to a new style of coaching and seem to be off to a great start. We have a lot of cover in small amount of time, but we're hopeful and optimistic. We have young talent who will be thrown into the mix and we really need to come together as a team if we want to reach our goals. We have to continue to work hard both physically and mentally, so we're playing our best softball late in the season."
The Forecaster's forecast: After eight years and 68 victories, Jim Senecal stepped down as coach. Yarmouth landed a first-rate replacement in McMullin, a field hockey, basketball and softball standout at Messalonskee, who went on to play field hockey and basketball at Franklin Pierce University. She's made her name coaching the Cheverus field hockey team to great things and spent the past two winters as an assistant with the Yarmouth girls' basketball squad. McMullin, who is utilizing Cheverus girls' basketball varsity coach Richie Ashley as an assistant, takes over a team used to contending and eager to get back to the playoffs after falling short last year. The Clippers have the luxury of fielding two strong pitchers. Gray (a first-team all-star last spring) was superb in a season-opening 5-1 win at Freeport. Sullivan will see time on the hill as well. Freshmen Mari Cooper, Libby King and Cat Thompson also pitch and will be developed to help the program going forward. Fall Female Athlete of the Year Austin (who plays shortstop and third base) looks like a top hitter. She had a two-run double in the opener. Sophomore Katie Brown drove in a pair of runs as well, while senior Carlene Shaw had one RBI. Other top hitters project to be Gray, Hutchinson (a second-team all-star in 2012), Levinson and Sullivan (who plays shortstop when she's not pitching). Cooper (outfield), King (second base) and Thompson (third base) hope to produce some key base knocks as well. The program has a new jolt with its dynamic new coach and there is enough talent in place for the Clippers to make a run. Fryeburg is once again the favorite and there are some other solid teams, but Yarmouth should be in just about every game. Early success should snowball. Let's not forget that in 2011, the Clippers won 14 times. The girls know how to get the job done. This year's team is primed to make a leap back to contention and to perhaps steal some thunder in June.
Coach: David Pearl (second year, 9-6 overall record)
2012 Record: 9-6 (Lost 8-7, to NYA in Eastern Class B Final)
Top returning players: Ethan Cyr (Senior), Ian Edgecomb (Senior), Drew Grout (Senior), Quinn Hathcock (Senior), Christian Henry (Senior), Nick Ronan (Senior), Thomas Lord (Junior), Brady Neujahr (Junior)
Pivotal games: April 20 @ NYA, April 24 (H) FALMOUTH, May 4 @ Cape Elizabeth, May 15 (H) NYA, May 18 (H) SCARBOROUGH, May 24 @ Falmouth, May 30 (H) CAPE ELIZABETH
Coach's comment: "Things are looking very positive. We have great captains and hardworking guys. Good senior leadership. It's nice to have a senior goalie who has worked so hard. I'm excited to have our defense returning. We've got a balanced attack. You'll see more assisted goals this year. Last year, we had a lot of one-on-ones and dodges. Last year's (regional final loss) was really hard. It felt like we left business unfinished. We hope to make amends. I'm pretty excited about this group."
The Forecaster's forecast: Yarmouth has now gone what for it must feel like an eternity of two seasons without playing for a state title (something which last happened over a decade ago). The Clippers came oh-so-close a year ago, but were vanquished by their fiercest rival, so it's fair to say this year's team is coming in with a chip on its shoulder. Yarmouth will not only make life difficult for NYA, but for all the top teams as there is a lot of talent on the roster. The offense will be paced this year by Edgecomb, Hathcock, captains Henry and Cyr, senior Nick Ronan, who returns, and junior Brady Neujahr. Grout was a first-team defensive all-star in 2012. He'll team with Lord, a three-year starter, to shut down the opposition. Replacing all-star goalie Alex Kurtz won't be easy, but Pearl believes senior Sam Landry is up to the task. The Clippers have a lot of tough tests on the schedule, starting with a revenge game at NYA Saturday. Yarmouth won't be content to merely make the playoffs this spring. It wants to return to the glory years of 2004-09 and that means a glowing record and a trip to the state final. This squad has the pieces in place to accomplish those goals.
Coach: Dorothy Holt (ninth year, 90-26 overall record, three state championships)
2012 Record: 7-7 (Lost, 12-11, in overtime, to Freeport in East Region Final)
Top returning players: Olivia Conrad (Senior), Julie Kameisha (Senior), Claire King (Senior), Alex Lucas (Senior), Ali Merrill (Senior), Sydney Pellerin (Senior), Jordan Brown (Junior), Grace O'Donnell (Junior), Julia Primeau (Junior)
Pivotal games: April 23 (H) WAYNFLETE, April 27 @ Scarborough, May 1 (H) FALMOUTH, May 3 (H) NYA, May 9 @ Cape Elizabeth, May 22 @ Waynflete, May 30 (H) CAPE ELIZABETH
Coach's comment: "We have a lot to work on. I call it repowering. We're pretty young, but it's an amazing group of girls. We have incredible senior leadership. We've come to play. The loss in the regional final left a bad taste in our mouth. The girls have fire in their belly. It should be an interesting season. You can't count us out."
The Forecaster's forecast: After winning the 2011 Class B championship in epic fashion, last year's team started 0-5, but the Clippers rose off the deck and salvaged their season, making it all the way to the regional final for the 10th year in a row before letting a late lead slip away in a stunning overtime loss to Freeport. That setback will drive Yarmouth, which feels it is the team to beat in Eastern Class B this season, even though there is some work to do. The Clippers opened with a 16-7 loss at Falmouth, but the game was tight until the second half. Yarmouth will feature balance on offense as Conrad (a captain, who had two goals in the opener), Kameisha (two goals, three assists), Lucas (one goal) and O'Donnell (who takes most of the draws and scored once against the Yachtsmen) will set the tone. That's just the beginning. Primeau, Merrill (a captain), senior Sara Costello (who scored in the opener), speedy sophomore Lane Simsarian (the younger sister of former Clippers standout Devin Simsarian, who also takes her share of draws), classmate Emma Torres (the younger sister of 2010 and 2011 YHS Spring Female Athlete of the Year Danielle Torres) and junior Molly Maguire add offensive depth. Defense is still a work in progress as all-stars Caitlin Crawford and Jeanna Lowery graduated. Pellerin is the most seasoned returner. She's joined by King (a captain and second-team all-star a year ago, who is currently nursing a knee injury), junior Abby Belisle-Haley (Yarmouth's Winter Female Athlete of the Year) and senior Gage Thurston. Brown returns in goal and is recognized as one of the best around. She made nine saves against Falmouth. The Clippers are spending vacation week in Florida, working on their game, which should pay dividends upon their return. The schedule remains brutal, but this year's team is better equipped from the start to handle the challenge. Yarmouth should show steady improvement and by June, will likely be the team to beat in the region. The Clippers have no intention of falling short of the state final again.
Coach: Hank Richards (second year)
2012 Results:
(Boys) Tie-15th @ Class B state meet
(Girls) Tie-21st @ Class B state meet
Top returning athletes:
(Boys) Tom Robichaud (Senior), Wes Crawford (Junior), Ben Decker (Junior), Travis Hamre (Junior), Darren Shi (Sophomore)
(Girls) Emma Pidden (Senior), Gina Robertson (Senior), Megan Smith (Senior), Sydney Sperber (Senior), Abby Vogel (Senior), Katie Overhaug (Junior)
Top foes: Cape Elizabeth, Falmouth, Greely, Sacopee, York
Coach's comment: "We have some talent. The kids are working hard. Our numbers are good. We have 52. That's the largest team since I've been here. Our distance and middle-distance will carry us. We'll have some highlights in the sprints. With our numbers and our athletes, we're getting there. I can't emphasize enough how much help I get from my assistant coaches, John Rogers, Mike Griffin and Adam Smith."
The Forecaster's forecast: The Yarmouth program continues to improve and has another infusion of new talent this spring.
The boys' squad graduated throwing standout Chris Knaub, but there are some athletes who could score at the conference and state meets. Decker was fourth at states a year ago in the two-mile and should be an elite distance runner again. Crawford, Robichaud and sophomores Sam Gerken and Ben Vigue and freshman Ian Murrin also look to score in the longer races. Hamre could be elite in the sprints. He's joined by juniors David Clemmer, Michael Salvesen and Chandler Smith. On the field side, Shi is a top thrower, while Robichaud hopes to soar in the pole vault. The Clippers will be competitive in the regular season and could improve on last year's showing at the big meets. Look for good things from several familiar names.
On the girls' side, Smith (tied for fourth in the pole vault) and Robertson (sixth in the javelin) are returning scorers. Vogel (throws), Overhaug (throws), junior Chapin Dorsett (throws) and freshman Emma Egan (jumps) are other field athletes to watch. On the track side, Pidden could be a top hurdler, Dorsett and Egan will contend in the sprints and hurdles and Sperber and sophomore Simone Laverierre will lead the pack in the distance events. This group also expects to hang tough during the regular year, then have some individuals impress at the WMC and state meets.
Coach: Mark Marstaller (15th year, 110-81 overall record, one state championship)
2012 Results: 5-9 (Lost, 5-0, to Falmouth in Western Class B quarterfinals)
Top returning players: Sam Beaulieu (Senior), Jackson Hall (Senior), Braden Becker (Junior), Alex Caroi (Junior), Jake Inger (Sophomore)
Pivotal matches: April 22 @ Falmouth, April 23 (H) NYA, April 24 (H) WAYNFLETE, May 7 (H) CAPE ELIZABETH, May 8 @ NYA, May 13 (H) FALMOUTH May 17 @ Cape Elizabeth
Coach's comment: "Cape, Falmouth and probably Waynflete will give us a hard time, but I hope we're about even with York. I expect we'll make the playoffs and play until we face Falmouth or Cape. After this year, we'll have a perennial goal of the Western Maine finals."
The Forecaster's forecast: After a two-year drought, Yarmouth returned to the playoffs last season and could be even stronger this spring. Coroi (a second-team all-star last season), Becker and Beaulieu were first, second and third singles last year and all three of them will likely be in singles spots again. Hall and Inger project to play doubles. Freshman Bryce Workman will make an immediate splash and might even play singles, depending on the challenge matches. While defending champion Falmouth and perennial power Cape Elizabeth are viewed as the favorites in Class B, this team can't be overlooked. The Clippers should continue their climb back toward the top. Success this spring is likely. Even more awaits in years to come.
Coach: Ann Harradon (17th year, 163-69 overall record, four state championships)
2012 Results: 12-3 (Lost, 5-0, to eventual champion Falmouth in Western Class B Final)
Top returning players: Hannah Elrick (Junior), Sarah Oberink (Junior)
Pivotal matches: April 22 (H) FALMOUTH, April 23 @ NYA, April 24 @ Waynflete, April 26 @ Greely, May 8 (H) NYA, May 13 @ Falmouth, May 17 (H) CAPE ELIZABETH
Coach's comment: "We graduated almost everybody from last year. We only have one varsity player returning who saw a lot of time. We only have one senior this year. Four juniors, one sophomore and 12 freshmen. It's a very inexperienced team. Down the road, I'll have good players. I hope we can become a middle-of-the-road team as the season progresses. I hope, as always, to make the playoffs. The future's bright."
The Forecaster's forecast: Yarmouth has been the second best team in Western B for much of Falmouth's reign of seven titles in the past eight seasons, but this year, the Clippers have some rebuilding to do as several key players departed, including league all-star Lindsey Robinson and 2012 Spring Female Athlete of the Year Hannah Potter. Don't bet against this club, however, as the talent hasn't exactly dried up. Elrick moves up from the second doubles team to the first singles spot this spring. Oberink, who battled an ankle injury last season, projects to play second singles. Junior Olivia Shay is expected to step in and help the first doubles team. Beyond that, Harradon wasn't sure at press time, as there were still a lot of questions to answer. One thing that's for certain is that Yarmouth does produce ample tennis talent. It might just take some time to get up to speed. The Clippers should be able to extend their streak of qualifying for the postseason to 26 years and once there, depending on their matchup, they could prove to be very difficult to send home.

The Assisted Editing software products are a development of Intelligent Assistance, Inc. - its co-developers are Philip Hodgetts and Dr Gregory Clarke. The impetus came when Philip was working on a long form documentary and realized that most people would never see the majority of the footage, no matter how interesting it might seem. What started as a way of exploring that "back story" material, has evolved into the first tool that lets editors create first cuts, super fast - a serendipitous discovery!
The balance of skills - Philip as a long term editor who is capable of analyzing the decisions he makes as an editor and Greg who translates that into a "first cut" algorithm - is the magic that makes the First Cuts for FCP software possible.
Mr. Hodgetts is a corporate manager with over 20 years of experience in gourmet food manufacture, promotion and distribution; university textbook retailing; digital video production; video-based educational design and production; and education systems and software development. He is President of Intelligent Assistance, Inc., a small company specializing in software and content for "on the spot" training for digital content creators and related software development.
While in Australia he was a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Company Directors - the highest level of membership, which requires that the member has "had five years experience as a director of a significant company or a government business enterprise."
His communications skills became so renowned, through countless publications as well as his Digital Production BuZZ podcasts, that he's been the keynote speaker at such prestigious events as the Emmy Technical Achievement program and last year's National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) convention.
His responsibilities for Intelligent Assistance include implementing the strategic direction, planning and business management, and representing the company to the board.
James Mathers, President of the Digital Cinema Society, described him best when he recently wrote ?Philip is at the forefront of digital postproduction and distribution.? Mr. Hodgetts got there through more than 25 years experience in writing, producing, directing, editing and motion graphic design across the entire production spectrum - education, corporate, documentary and National TV commercials. He's been described by Bruce Nazarian, President of the DVD Association, as someone who "continues to be a leading-edge thinker, and prognosticator of advances in our industry." In short, Mr. Hodgetts not only knows where we are going but how to get there.
Dr. Clarke combined the intellectual focus necessary to achieve a Doctorate in Medical Science with his passion for computer programming (since 1982) to become an expert in twelve programming languages and to achieve project management experience in all stages of software/web application development.
His co-developing the unique ?Do it Now!? just-in-time training methodology for LearnDYNAMICmedia lead to his Executive VP of Technology position for Intelligent Assistance, where he formulated the company's IT and software development strategies for their successful line of software training products.
As co-founder of Intelligent Assistance he has implemented the klickTab technology that powers the Open Television Network, Intelligent Assistance's Assisted Editing software and other technology innovation. His wide-ranging skills are put to use in setting the strategic direction for the company's technology, and then supervising a growing team of programmers to bring that vision to market.

The Hill reports:
Rep. Pete King (N.Y.), the ranking Republican on the Homeland Security Committee, said he would attempt to add language barring any money from being spent on trying alleged terrorists in civilian courts to the intelligence authorization bill. . . In the next week, King said, he will be fine-tuning the language to make it germane to the intelligence authorization bill. If he is unsuccessful or it doesn't pass, he vowed to continue to offer the bill throughout the rest of the year whenever he sees an opportunity.
This seems like a fine idea. If, as Obama keeps declaring, we got "off track" during the Bush years (oh, except for the parts which the Obami claim were identical to what Obama is now doing) and betrayed our "values," he should welcome a robust debate about the wisdom of trying jihadists in civilian courtrooms. Granted, a New York venue seems like a nonstarter now, but Eric Holder and Obama insist that that civilian trials are the way to go. They tell us that it's going to prove (to whom?) the wonders of the American judicial system — before they absolutely, positively guarantee a conviction. (And such reasoning requires one to put aside, I suppose, that military tribunals authorized by Congress are part of that judicial system.)
The Obami must sense they are on thin ice. Sens. Pat Leahy and Dianne Feinstein sent a letter to the White House (I'm sure it was requested) singing the praises of federal court trials for terrorists. But there is a groundswell of opposition building:
King and Rep. Frank Wolf (Va.), the top Republican on the subcommittee that funds the Justice Department, are leading the House drive to prevent any funds from being spent on prosecuting Guantanamo Bay detainees in U.S. federal courts. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is leading a similar legislative initiative in the Senate. Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), who is in a tight reelection race, signed on as a co-sponsor to Graham's bill. . . . Last week, two House Democrats, Reps. Jason Altmire (Pa.) and Mike McMahon (N.Y.), jumped onto King and Wolf's bill as co-sponsors, a sign that support in the Democratic Caucus for Obama's detainee policies has deteriorated in recent weeks amid growing concern about how voters will view the White House's national security policies at the polls in November
The public in survey after survey opposes the criminal-justice model Obama still clings to. The president will have the chance to make his pitch and convince the public of the merits of his view. Indeed, snatching the decision-making process away from the hapless Eric Holder, who botched the New York trial roll-out, Obama declares that he will insert himself in the process and decide the locale of the KSM trial.
But I suspect the whole experiment is unraveling as those on the ballot this year sense that there is no appetite for this sort of thing. Even Holder seemed to leave the door open to trying KSM in a military tribunal. ("'At the end of the day, wherever this case is tried, in whatever forum, what we have to ensure is that it's done as transparently as possible and with adherence to all the rules,' Holder said. 'If we do that, I'm not sure the location or even the forum is as important as what the world sees in that proceeding.'")
Well, perhaps it was the "not Bush" approach to terrorism that was seriously off track and flew in the face of the values and common sense of the American people. If Congress is stepping up to the plate and the administration is groping for an exit plan, we may finally arrive at a rational approach to fighting Islamic fascists — one that looks a whole lot like the Bush approach.

1.noun: dough rolled into thin, flat strips; pasta
2.verb: "to noodle"; a primative method of putting food on the table, specifically catfish, involving a hapless fish, a soaked human, no fishing pole and two brains of equal size. Also known as "grabblin", "hoggin", "doggin", "gravelin' or "ticklin".
Ever heard of "noodling"?
From the National Geographic:
"Some people call it the Mount Everest of fishing. But most everyone else describes "noodling" or handfishing, as just plain crazy"
The Oxford English Dictionary defines "noodling" as "a stupid person". Hmmm. Think about that. The sport with the same name requires walking along a riverbank, in the water – no – sometimes under the water, feeling for a fish in places where beavers, snakes and snapping turtles are just as likely to hide and then putting one's hand into the fish's mouth where tender skin is no match for razor-like teeth. I might call that less than brilliant!
While noodling is carried out in most parts of the South, here in Oklahoma, we are proud of those who noodle and hold up Pauls Valley, Oklahoma as the home of the Olympics of noodling – the annual Okie Noodling Tournament. Bob's Pig Shop is the sponsor with live entertainment and fried catfish making for a fun festival atmosphere. This year's gathering of the bold and the brave happens on July 10th.
I grew up with stories about my father's, my grandfather's and my great-grandfather's "noodlin' " adventures. My dad shares in his book, Sailing Down the River of Memories, his noodling expertise which was handed down through the generations to him. We are very big on passing on traditions in my family, however, somehow this tradition of risking life and limb and appendages seems to have stopped with my father. Go figure.
On page 17 Dad shares:
"I learned to noodle or to fish with my hands. Now, that was an adventure! I'd go into the water and feel along the bank until I found a hole. Then, I'd slowly reach in to see if there might be a fish. Interestingly enough, by moving slowly and being gentle, you can stroke a fish under water and it won't swim off. I'd carefully put a finger in the mouth and the thumb in the gill and bring the fish up close to my body. Then I put my other hand on the body of the fish so it couldn't get away and I'd walk out of the water. The adventure was the chance of getting a turtle or a snake – but I never did. You had to be careful with catfish because the whiskers could stick in your skin and really hurt."
Dad also tells about his granddad, my great-granddad – Robert Hightower, who taught him how to finesse a catfish.
"One of the largest fish he noodled was a 28-pound catfish on Spring River at Galesburg. [Missouri] Since that was not a legal way of fishing, Bob told everyone he had landed it with a cane pole. His description of the battle was so vivid no one doubted his word, but the scratches on his arms and fingers told another tale. He told son-in-law, Charlie [my granddad], he threaded a cord through the catfish's mouth and gill and after tying the other end around his arm, he started for the bank. Something startled the fish and it went downstream pulling him with it. He had quite a battle getting to shore and landing the fish. When he put the fish on a 300 lb cake of ice, its head was at one end with the tail hanging over the other end nearly touching the ground."
Robert Hightower is featured in the Then and Now Cookbook
I hope you enjoy this video that shows that men "ain't got nuthin' on us females" when it comes to noodlin'……………
OK, so the same side of my family whom I discuss above, in spite of the obvious quirky side passed down through the generations to me, also handed down another kind of "noodlin'"- the homemade kind. I was raised on Sunday lunch that included either chuck roast cooked to perfection, shredding to moist strips, or chicken equally moist and falling off the bone. Both were accompanied by homemade noodles gently boiled in the broth from the meats. Before we would leave for church, Mom would put the meat, onions and salt and pepper into a dutch oven with water and would leave it to bake slowly while we were gone. When we walked into the house after a morning of worship, the aroma would be so permeating that the saliva glands had an immediate Pavlovian response.
Dad always made the noodles and he did so just as his mother taught him. His great-aunt Myrtle, sister to Grandmother, taught Grandmother how to make them. Then, my father taught me. Dad can cut those noodles so thin that the result is delicate and tender. He still makes them when we go home and now, the next generation has taken its place as my children are now making the noodles in their homes.
Below is the photo recipe for one of our favorite family traditions. I hope you enjoy them as well. Since I never learned to practice the other "noodlin'", I'm satisfied with my efforts at the pasta variety. However, if you wish to take up the sport, more power to you – and to the fish.
Hightower Noodles
1 cup flour
1 large egg
Approximately 3 tbsp water
6 cups broth
Step Four
Divide the dough into 4-6 pieces and roll them into balls. Using one dough ball at a time, pat into a circle with your hand. Using a rolling pin, roll the circle out to very, very thin, turning frequently and sprinkling with flour to avoid sticking. Always keep plenty of flour on the pastry cloth.
Step Five
Gently lift flattened circles, as they are completed, and place them on a cookie rack or floured surface such as a counter top, cutting board, a second pastry cloth or a tea towel for drying. Allow to dry at least 30 minutes on each side. If the air is moist, it can take longer. Repeat the process on remaining dough balls.
Step Six
When the circles of dough are dry, but still very pliable, roll each one into a very loose jelly roll. Before rolling, you can flour the surface lightly to keep from sticking.
Step Seven
With a good, sharp knife, slice noodles thinly and then run fingers through them to loosen, unroll and separate. Be careful not to pinch the dough as you are cutting, just holding it lightly between thumb and finger.
Step Eight
Bring broth to a boil. Reduce heat slightly and gently drop noodles in a handful at a time, stirring lightly with a fork. Cook approximately 15 minutes until tender. You can add canned broth if more broth is needed. Serve immediately over meat.
Now that's the way to use the ol' noodle!! Happy cooking!

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
On a quiet street in the 9th arrondissement, close to Olympia music hall and Le Louvre
The Hotel du Triangle d'Or in Paris is right near the Olympia music hall in the heart of the quarter of art and music (thus, the music theme in the hotel's decor). It's on a quiet street, but there are a few sex shops in the neighborhood that may make some guests uncomfortable -- though it is a safe area and not seedy at all. Guests can easily reach the Garnier Opera Theatre, the Champs Elysées, Place Vendôme, and Printemps department stores on Boulevard Haussmann. Also within walking distance is Fauchon -- one of the best food stores in Paris and a great spot to purchase souvenirs. To access other areas of Paris, the hotel is close to Madeleine and Opera metro stations.
This boutique hotel draws music lovers seeking a good value in a central location. The rooms are colorful and music-themed, with record albums used as art, and guitar paintings hung on the walls. The hotel is aptly located next to the Olympia music hall in the 9th arrondissement, making it a great spot to crash after attending a performance. The funky yellow hands adorning the entrance doors will alert guests that this is no ordinary hotel, and small touches will continue to surprise within. Near the front desk there is a multimedia area with headphones where guests can listen to CDs, and rooms have high-tech audio equipment and iPod docks. The communal areas are fun to wander -- check out the carpets decorated with stars, the sequined elevator, and silhouettes on the walls. The hotel serves breakfast for a fee, and has an area for drinks and snacks, but no real restaurant for meals. There is, however, a spa offering Turkish baths and massages.

Best Punk Venue St. Louis 2005 - The Creepy Crawl
Once upon a 7 p.m. dreary While I pondered, weak and weary Of Hot Topic's popularity at the mall. Presently I slowed my ride And turned my head onto its side And to those gathered near I gave this call Gave them this call and that is all: "Good black-clad persons, would you know Where I might find a punk-rock show? A show that is both heavy and raw?" They all turned and looked at me As at a person who was crazy Then pointed upward and I saw A green awning that read "Creepy Crawl." Read "Creepy Crawl," and that was all. I parked my car in the well-lit lot (And took a tiny hit of pot) Around the corner my ass I did haul. I made my way up to the door. The wait was short; hardly a chore Then I entered the well-flyered hall. Flyers and scrawl; covering every wall! Behind an orange fence I took my place (I wanted no armpits in my face!) There I drank beer until I took a fall. The band onstage did scream and shout, The band onstage rocked the fuck out, And from my sprawl I did enthrall, Avoided a brawl and finally stood tall: "The Creepy Crawl's best punk venue of all! The best of all; now where's the toilet stall?"

Take Heart Articles
Did you know that after 72 hours of non-activity, your muscle strength begins to regress? This happens easily during the winter when people hibernate away from their exercise routines until spring.
"Cold weather does not mean abandon your exercise routine. I always remind my patients that once you stop exercising for a prolonged period of time, it can take up to a month to regain lost ground," says Palmetto Health Heart Hospital exercise physiologist Louis Johnston.
The benefits of exercise include stronger, more defined, toned muscles, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, more energy, less mental stress, and a lowered risk of heart disease. Here are ways to winterize workouts:
A longer warm-up of stretches is essential to getting your body ready for the temperature change.
Be comfortable
If exercising outside, wear layers of clothing. As your body warms up, peel off the layers. Most important, wear a hat to keep from losing body heat. You might be surprised, but you still need to wear sunscreen and sunglasses during the winter.
Be safe
Watch for icy spots on the sidewalk or road to prevent a twisted ankle or sprain. Or consider walking inside in a large store, a mall or a gym with an indoor track. These places are safe and climate-controlled.
Stay hydrated
During the summertime, people are more aware of heat stroke and dehydration. It still is important to pay attention to fluid loss. Be sure to drink water before, during and after your workout.
Find a friend
Exercising with a friend is always easier than going solo. You can support and motivate each other.
Get creative
Try something new. Snow skiing or ice skating may not be an option in South Carolina, but there are plenty of indoor sports, like basketball or even indoor ice skating. Take classes such as karate, kickboxing, aerobics, or yoga. Try out a variety of fitness toys: a jump rope, a stability ball, exercise videos, and cardio machines at home or the gym.
Often people will skip a warm-up and go straight into their exercise activity. "This is a mistake," says Iris Smith, Director of Palmetto Health Richland Rehab Services. "A simple, five- to ten-minute warm-up can reduce your risk of injury by improving muscle elasticity." Other benefits include:
• Increases core body temperature, which improves calorie burning efficiency
• Increases metabolism, delivering more oxygen to your muscles
• Improves tolerance to exercise
• Improves muscle control and joint range of motion
• Psychologically prepares you for more intense exercise
Your warm-up should consist of a lower intensity period of your same activity, such as jogging before running or cycling in easier gears. It also can be any exercise that elevates the heart rate and increases body temperature, such as jumping jacks or step-ups.
"Overall, the rule of thumb is to break a light sweat," explains Smith. "Then follow up with stretching the primary muscles you'll use during your workout. Hold each stretch for 20 seconds and repeat two to three times."

Being conned or deceived is frustrating. As much as we don't want it to happen, there's just no magic that can totally erase it. But being a victim of it can be avoided if you have some knowledge on how to prevent it. Read along and discover helpful tips and tricks.
Realize that anyone can be a suspect
Criminals are skilled in designing their evil schemes. They will do everything to find new ideas how they can catch their "prey". Part of their tactics would be appearing like any commoner.
They come into the picture like typical people whom you can ask help in case you're lost, or whom you can request to carry your baggage. But behind their masks, they're already thinking of how they can attack you. Thus, it pays to be extra cautious. Don't let any people around think and feel that you easily trust them.
Do not leak financial information
If somebody comes into your house and pose as a survey agent, make sure you do not put yourself in a situation that you cannot get off. Cons can be a good actor; they are well versed in convincing their targets.
You should also ensure that scammers won't access any link to your bank accounts especially the passwords. Cons may also ask you to click a link, but without your knowledge, that the link is intended to connect to your online monetary transactions.
Reject anonymous emails
One common way to trick people is via emails. Con artists may send you emails of all kinds that are talking about alarming incidents. They may require you to give them vital information in exchange for them fixing that incident.
Instead of being fully alarmed, get yourself composed. Analyze if there's enough reason for you to receive such email, especially that it's from an anonymous individual.
Do not trust callers
Do not assume that since the phone is yours, there's no one else who can access it. Caller ID can sometimes bury you in a deep excavation. If you use phones for business transactions, be sure you are the one making the call and properly watch the number you are dialing. You might end up calling a "Conner" and it is his chance for you to be his next victim.
Monitor your debit card
If you must use your debit cards to buy or purchase any goods, make sure you watch it carefully. You might wonder how come your savings are next to none when you've only spent a little from it. Always keep tight security measures with it to ensure that nothing is being copied from your card.
Buy online items from reputable dealers
Buy online goods from reputable dealers only. Even if they look respectable, this is not the guarantee. You should always conduct a background check with the site before making any transaction.
Cons and all sorts of fake artists are always around the corner. There may no way for us to eliminate them, but there sure are ways for us to deal with them in the right way.

Turkey's Lira Falls To Its Lowest Value In Years
By Peter Kenyon
Originally published on Thu September 19, 2013 5:07 pm
Potential changes in economic policy from Washington have sent tremors throughout emerging economies. In Turkey, where growth in recent years has put Eurozone economies to shame, the signs are troubling: The Turkish lira has fallen to its lowest value in years and private sector debt is soaring. Economists say continued liquidity and foreign investment remains crucial if Turkey is to avoid a hard landing.


text: That was an answer given by City Councilman Don Knight after Mayor Steve Bach asked council members to look for ways city government might help stimulate economic growth. Bach shared the results of a U.S. Department of Labor report that said the metro area had not seen a net jobs increase in 13 years but had grown by about 100,000 residents. Retirees are moving in, and young people are leaving. With fewer young adults, dependence will grow and production will shrink.

The Deaf Studies minor is open to all students majoring in all disciplines, but may be especially attractive to students in liberal arts and sciences, education, business, and theatre. It is designed to develop the use of American Sign Language and prepare students for further education in sign language interpretation or deaf education. ASL is present in every realm of life as deaf, hearing impaired and deaf-blind people seek education and equitable employment. This minor will increase the students' understanding of hearing loss, deafness, and deaf culture. This course of study will allow the student to communicate with deaf persons at a basic level, as well as gain cultural knowledge. Its offerings would be available through the following programs: Communication Disorders, Sociology, Psychology, and Communications & Media.
The Deaf Studies minor complements many major fields of study and prepares students to work in a variety of settings where American Sign Language skill and knowledge of the American Deaf Community are necessary. These settings may include, but are not limited to, education, business, human services (social work, health care, counseling, and others), and government. The deaf studies minor also provides specific ASL skills necessary to enter English/American Sign Language Interpreter Education programs, or graduate programs such as Deaf Education, ASL Linguistics, Rehabilitation Counseling, and possibly others not listed here. Employees with fluency in ASL are in demand nationwide. The Deaf Studies minor is designed to make New Paltz graduates more employable by having an additional skill set geared towards meeting this demand. This minor is not an Interpreter Education Program or a Deaf Education Program. The minor will help a student become qualified to enter either of these programs as a post-baccalaureate student or a graduate student.
