Where Does the Abbreviation Xmas Come From?
August 21, 2008
Since we began this business, we have learned a lot about the tradition of Christmas, and more than most people want to know about Christmas lights. For some reason I always assumed that the "x" in Xmas, was an abbreviation for or represented the cross. I'm not sure what prompted me to investigate the matter further today, but I decided I needed confirm my suspicions.
Not surprisingly, I was wrong - at least according to Wikipedia and a few other sources. Fortunately, my theory isn't the only theory that is not correct. For example, another popular theory is that the "x" is an effort by the secular movement to "take the Christ out of Christmas." Others have claimed that the term "xmas" is modern and disrespectful abbreviation for Christmas. This turns out also not to be true.
It turns out that the terms xmas, xmas lights, xmas trees, and xmas day has nothing to do with secularization, crosses, or other similar theories. As it turns out, the answer is much less complicated. The use of the character "x" in the abbreviation for the word Christmas is as old as Christianity. The origins of this abbreviation are traced to the first letter in the Greek word for Christ which is "Chi." The Greek symbol for this letter, is a character that very closely resemble an X. The word "Christ" was often abbreviated in Greek as XP or Xt.

In the latest issue of Lapidary Journal Jewelry Artist, Helen Driggs has an article about a stunning sapphire and silver ring. In the article she uses a printed center finding gauge (page 20, image 6). I searched for a while yesterday, and I could not find such a thing available. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Hi there, basementmatt, I believe this is what you're looking for:
Hope that's helpful! Thanks for being part of JMD!Tammy
Hi Tammy
Thanks for that. It's a good start. I would really love to have what Helen shows in the article. I do my work at an art center, and I won't always have access to a printer. Any thoughts on where she got it?
You're welcome! I'm with you, I don't have a printer either. A little bird told me they are going to publish it in the May/June issue--will that work? Or do you need it sooner?
I can wait. It was more of a planning ahead effort than "i really need this to get a project done or I'll die" thing. I hope your little bird is right :) It's horribly mean to show us something used in a process when that something simply isn't available.
Hopefully your next issue will come soon and you'll have what you need. No dyin' in jewelry making! :o)

Screening fosters discussion of TPS issuesWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
A mostly civil discussion following the screening of a documentary about education became briefly heated when Toledo Public Schools (TPS) board of education president Bob Vasquez, who was in the audience, was called upon to offer remarks.
His comments came during a question-and-answer session with filmmaker Kyle Olson following a March 2 presentation of "Kids Aren't Cars" in Maumee, hosted by WSPD.
About 110 people attended the screening of the film, which argued that the current heavily unionized U.S. education system often seems to operate for the benefit of the adults involved while the needs of children are secondary to other goals.
The title of the film, which was shown in segments, comes from a parallel drawn between the school systems and auto industry assembly lines, at times resulting in high school graduates who can't read.
"If you really, really had the answer, if I had the answer, to make all of our schools performing schools, believe me, I would do it," Vasquez said. "If it was that easy for me to go out there and do that, and to wave that wand, I would do that. Why would you sit there and look at me as a person who would not want to do that?
"You want to be on the school board, be on the school board. Wave your wand and make it better. This is a complicated situation. Yes, the unions have a part to play. Yes, the boards have a part to play. Yes, the administration has a part to play. Yes, the parents have a part to play. I think it's unfair to totally look at a teacher and say they are totally accountable for how a student performs. There are more things. I mean there's the culture, the environment, there are many things going into making our schools better in a way that kids can learn."
Vasquez said he'd heard all the criticisms before and feels good about the work the TPS school board has done. He said conversations that engage in "villainizing" of any party are not productive.
"What you said about unions are powerful and so forth, I hesitate to get into some of the bashing because it changes the conversation," Vasquez said. "The conversation needs to be about education. What happens in any place if you attack the unions then — to me, this is my opinion — then the whole conversation is going to be about unions. If you attack the administration, the whole conversation is about administration. If you attack the school board, then the conversation is about the school board. It needs to be about students."
To which an audience member interjected: "And they're failing."
Vasquez acknowledged he is bothered by the issues addressed in the film and agrees reform needs to happen, but said he's doing his best with the situation and not running from problems.
"The first thing I agree with is the way we taught kids in the past is not the way we should do it in the future," Vasquez said. "We're a different society. They learn differently. We have to understand that and we have to make those changes and we're trying to do that. But the thing I hear with a broad brush that doesn't help is all school board members are this, all teacher are this. No, it's not all teachers are bad; it's not all school board members are bad. But you know what, it doesn't help when you don't point out the things that are good, and it doesn't help when you don't point out the school board members that are trying to do their best, because they get lost."
Brian Wilson of WSPD said Vasquez's remarks that any criticism is "bashing" only serve to "truncate continuing conversation."
"This is a big job and it's got to get done and the sooner we get off our ass and do something the better we are," Wilson said. "First order of business is everybody needs to get their act together. We need to sit down, have a core that can then go out and start multiplying. Then we can decide what we're going to do about that, what we're going to do about him (Vasquez), what we're going to do about curriculum, what we're going to do about teacher apathy, parent apathy and all the rest that goes along with it. But the problem is, if you look at Mount Everest and you keep tripping over mole hills you're never going to get anything done. So just take it one step at a time."
Amy Chauvette of Toledo said the film was "very enlightening."
"I wish more people would have come," Chauvette said. "If parents really are concerned about their children's education, they need to be involved in things like this."
John and Jo Fink of Waterville Township said they attended the screening because they have young grandchildren and are concerned about what's ahead for their education.
"We always try to get different viewpoints. We don't just use one source of news," Jo said. "I was a teacher in Oregon 30 years ago so I can see both sides of the issue."
Dan Steingraber of Oregon said education is a critical part of society and it's not working right now.
"We've got to figure out how to fix it," Steingraber said. "I'm just here looking for ideas."
Sue Larimer of Bowling Green said it seems the balance of power between parents and unions in the public school systems is out of balance.
"All the power is with the unions, and the parents, who are in contract with the schools to provide a service that they are buying, have no power. Until the parents who are providing the money to do this realize they do have power and until this side realize they don't own education, the employer does, until that gets changed, it's going to be an uphill battle," Larimer said. "We're the employers and somewhere along the line that got forgotten. And that's why our kids are suffering."
A TPS parent remarked during the question-and-answer session that he had tried to organize parents in the past, but it proved "extremely difficult." Audience member Bob Densic said he had had better luck in Rossford, organizing a group of parents that was successful in making changes.
"We can do this in this room," Densic said. "We can make change."
Larimer said the anti-union message of the film might have been the wrong approach.
"I think there's a place for unions. This was kind of a union-bashing thing, so I don't think it's going to be very well-received by those who have a union mentality that we need to get through to," Larimer said.
Also in attendance were Bill Kitson, president and CEO of the United Way of Greater Toledo; Derek Merrin, mayor of Waterville; Ron Adler, president of the Ohio Coalition for Quality Education; and Darlene Chambers, executive director of the Council of Community Schools.
Kitson said it's always good when the issues affecting kids in our school systems are highlighted.
"While the documentary itself some would argue with some of the conclusions it makes, there's no doubt that kids in our schools are facing issues," Kitson said. "The more people we get engaged in this, the more likely we are to actually help them graduate."
Merrin said the documentary showed how teacher unions have stifled reform, hand-tied school administrators and have relegated American students to a second-class education.
"We need to expand school choice options, instill rigorous standards and focus on quantitative results rather than instinctively increasing spending to solve problems," Merrin said.
Olson, the filmmaker, said the best thing way to help is to get involved in the discussion.
"It's critical to attend board meetings and speak up. Get to know the school board, watch where your dollars are going and get engaged in these issues," said Olson, who said elected officials won't push for real reform until they are "more afraid of parents and community groups than teachers unions."
Olson said he hopes people who watch "Kids Aren't Cars" see that there are problems within the system, but that there are also solutions.
"It's important that we don't just focus on the problems, but what do we do about this? How do we fix it?" Olson said.
Larimer and others said the discussion was interesting and they are hopeful for the future.
"There's going to be a lot of frustration, but it's fixable," Larimer said. "I think it's fixable, I really do."

All staff are invited to partake in this year's Staff Appreciation Brunch at Reid Campus Center this Friday, May 31. Buffet lines open at 9:15 (please bring your own mug) and the program begins at 10. In addition to brunch, the event will include the presentation of the Janice Abraham and Years of Service awards and staffing updates. Brian Griffith will reprise his role as emcee.
Launched in January 2012, the "Movement That Matters" employee wellness exercise program will start another session on Monday, June 3. The 11-week session will continue through Thursday, Aug. 22. There will be a break during the first week of July to accommodate vacation schedules and the holiday.
The summer session offers five classes per week over the noon hour or at 5:15 p.m., including two sections of yoga, two core conditioning classes, and spinning with new instructor Rebecca Thorpe. A new class also will be offered for the four Wednesdays of June, called "Super Circuit," which will be held in the weight room at BFFC. The Outdoor Program staff has graciously offered to keep the Climbing Wall open on Fridays at noon through Aug. 2 even though student staffers aren't available over the summer.
"We logged over 2,100 hours on the sign-in sheets in the spring session," says Michele Hanford, fitness facilities director, who designed the program in conjunction with Deb Wright, student accounts manager. "Kudos to Ian Quorn, who had 139 hours, and Laura Nix, the only other person in triple digits, with 101 hours. On our last survey we even had one participant mention they have lost 20 pounds! And we consistently hear that the classes help build a strong Whitman community, bringing staff and faculty together who might not otherwise meet."
Participants pay a $45 enrollment fee, and the college pays more than half of the costs of instructors' fees to help encourage employee health and wellness. A registration form and detailed calendar is available on the program's website. Contact Wright at firstname.lastname@example.com Hanford at firstname.lastname@example.com with questions about the program.
In addition to the fabulous Commencement photography shot by our very own Greg Lehman, there is another series of photos available for your viewing pleasure and/or for purchase, through the external graduation photographer.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A mountain-lodge base with quirky Kimpton decor
The decor and styling is typical of a Kimpton hotel -- funky, stand-out furniture, over-the-top chandeliers, and tons of animal print details in the guest rooms (even down to the bathrobes). The Sky still has hints of Colorado mountain-lodge detailing, with huge exposed logs above the front desk, stone walls in the lobby, and welcoming fireplaces in the lounge, but ovreall the feel is modern and quirky.
Although The Sky did a good job updating this older Aspen hotel, but there are still some small details that need to be updated, such as the teal/green tiling in the bathroom. Kimpton decor seems to be hit or miss with guests, though -- some taking very well to the bright colors, bold animal prints, and nontraditional furniture, while others would prefer more cozy lodge style decor -- which is easy to find at most of the other hotel's in Aspen.
The Sky seems to attract a younger crowd, or at least a young-at-heart crowd, and even in off season the lounge and outdoor pool deck is still somewhat busy. During ski season, however, the pool area is jam-packed with people enjoying the heated pool, Jacuzzi, and numerous fire pits (where gas fire comes out of beautiful glass pebbles). And drink service from the lounge goes well into the night.
Just steps to the ski lift, in downtown Aspen
The Sky is right in the middle of downtown Aspen, just steps from the main downtown ski lift, offering a great ski-in/ski-out stay. Restaurants, bars, and entertainment are just a quick walk, and City Market Grocery is across the street, making resupply and grocery shopping as easy as it gets.
Walk to almost anywhere in Aspen from the hotel -- the Aspen Brewing Company, The Belly Up live music venue, and numerous restaurants and bars. And what may be beyond walking is a just short drive.The most frequently photographed scene in Colorado, the Maroon Bells Scenic Wilderness Area is just a 25-minute drive from the Sky Hotel.
Fresh and funky decor, but the bathrooms need work
Kimpton hotels always offer rooms with stylish decor, and the Sky Hotel is no different. From the standard leopard and zebra print bathrobes to the bright yellow walls, the guest rooms at the Sky are fun and refreshing.
Compared to the modern the rooms, though, the bathrooms feel dated -- with older white-and-teal porcelain tile covering the counters (or splatter-print laminate in some rooms). The standard shower/tub combos aren't anything to write home about, either.
Access to the Aspen Club & Spa for massage and fitness needs, and the best apres-ski scene in Aspen
With a modern and party-friendly pool deck, the Sky Hotel is the place to be for apres-ski food and drinks. Even locals come here to kick back and enjoy a cocktail. The heated pool and circular, inset Jacuzzi with water feature are the center of the patio area with lots of comfy seating and multiple fire pits for guests to keep warm on colder nights.
Room rate includes access to the Aspen Club & Spa, an off-site fitness and spa facility with tennis courts, an indoor lap pool, racquetball court, boxing studio along with a full service spa.
One full-service restaurant with a warm and modern lounge feel
39 Degrees is the Sky's on-site bar and lounge. Set up primarily as hip, modern lodge-style bar, 39 Degrees also serves breakfast, dinner, and a late-night menu full of local Colorado-inspired food.
The Sky Hotel sits on prime Aspen property, directly at the bottom of the Silver Queen Gondola with one of the best ski-in/ski-out locations in the valley. While rooms are on the small side for the price, they reflect Kimpton's signature style, with a modern take on lodge decor, a daily wine hour, an excellent deck with pool and Jacuzzi, and one of the most happening apres-ski scenes in Aspen. Amenities for guests' four-legged friends are plentiful, too, and unlike at other resorts, there's no fee or size restriction, easily making this the most pet-friendly hotel in Aspen.

'Gasland' Helped Add Fracking To U.S. Lexicon, Now There's A Sequal
By Jeff Brady

Now everybody's jumping on the "wipe Israel off the map" bandwagon! We knew about Hamas's feelings. Then there was the deputy commander-in-chief of Iran's army, who threatened to eliminate Israel from "the scene of the universe" if it should attack Iran's nuclear facilities. Now the PLO is getting with program.
This organization, which still considers itself the "sole legitimate representative" of the Palestinians, is formally the boss of the Palestinian Authority (as Hamas in Damascus is in charge of Hamas in Gaza). And yesterday, the PLO's ambassador to Lebanon, Abbas Zaki, told Lebanese television
In light of the weakness of the Arab nation and the lack of values, and in light of the American control over the world, the PLO proceeds through phases, without changing its strategy. Let me tell you, when the ideology of Israel collapses, and we take, at least, Jerusalem, the Israeli ideology will collapse in its entirety, and we will begin to progress with our own ideology, Allah willing, and drive them out of all of Palestine.
This, it will be recalled, is the group that signed the Oslo Accords with Israel, and which is supposed to represent Palestinian moderates, as opposed to those awful, intractable jihadists in Gaza. Am I just nitpicking here, or is there a serious problem with our peace partner?

Letter: Myrick for S. Portland-Cape House seat
I am writing to endorse Kenneth "Jake " Myrick in House District 123.
As a young boy I often tagged alongside U.S. House Speaker "Tip" O'Neil, and through the years served several presidents,vice presidents, and members of Congress.
I have been truly honored to have worked with some outstanding leaders. I first met Mr. Myrick while helping host Sen. McCain's campaign visit to South Portland.
I closely watched Mr. Myrick and soon realized he has the passion, experience and drive of a true leader. Being born and raised in Maine, a decorated veteran, a homeless advocate, and proven civic leader, he is currently athletic director for the Boys and Girls Club, and is a true champion and mentor to our children.
Myrick is the hard-working sensible leader and diplomatic voice we need in Augusta. What ever your party affiliation, voting Myrick is the best choice.

BRADENTON – The Foundation for Dreams and Dream Oaks Camp is proud to be the recipient of a $32,500 grant that awarded by the Junior League of Manatee County to help assist in the construction of an all accessible playground and new program golf cart.

Judah E. Adashi and The New Sincerity: An Emerging American Attitude in Music and Letters
December 19, 2013
Brian Barone
The music of Judah E. Adashi is a study in earnest introspection. His language deploys a comfortable blend of piquant dissonance and un-self-conscious lyricism. Adashi is, we will argue, a neo-romantic, but one that carries the torch of the Brahms of the piano works or the Mendelssohn of the chamber music; a conservator of the personal, reflective, Keatsian strain ofRomanticism who nonetheless also engages freely with the twentieth centurys progressive developments in musical language apparently without dogma or preoccupation. More significantly, it will be shown that this combination of the nature of Adashis language and the details of his approach to the making of art make him one of contemporary musics emissaries of a rhetorical attitude in American letters that has been called the New Sincerity. In this way, he is a fundamentally American composer. Read More

Branching Out: Composers Work to be Featured at Pratt Library
March 30, 2012
Alan H. Feiler, Baltimore Jewish Times
Dr. Judah E. Adashi is a classical music composer, events organizer, advocate and educator. The founder and director of the local Evolution Contemporary Music Series, Dr. Adashi, who was born in Boston but grew up in North Baltimore, has been praised by The Sun for having "elevated and enriched Baltimore's new music scene enormously." Dr. Adashi, 36, the son of Israeli parents, is on the composition and music theory faculty at the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University, from which he earned master's and doctoral degrees. The Baltimore Jewish Times recently caught up with Dr. Adashi, a Federal Hill resident who will appear with musical associates at a concert of classical music tomorrow, Mar. 31, at 3 p.m. at the Light Street branch of the Enoch Pratt Free Library.

Judah Adashi visits Princeton Public Library
May 11, 2011
George Quinn, Princeton Public Library
My name is Judah Adashi; I'm a composer. I'm based in Baltimore; I teach at the Peabody Institute, which is also where I did my studies. I did my undergraduate studies at Yale, and then I got my Master's and doctoral degrees at the Peabody Institute. I didn't feel that I could capture the whole epic sweep of [One Hundred Years of Solitude]; I didn't feel that was necessarily suited to my musical sensibilities. I reread the book, and when I reread it, I found that there were these musical episodes that run throughout the whole book. Watch Photos
Interview with International Composer
May 11, 2011
Jeffrey James, International Composer
1. When did you first realize you were a composer?
It was a gradual process. I had the sense for many years that I wanted to be a musician, but I didnt know what shape my musical life would take. I grew up playing the piano at the Peabody Preparatory, studied theory and musicology as a music major at Yale, and also pursued non-classical music in both high school and college, as a pianist and music director for musical theatre productions and as director of several a cappella singing groups. I think the latter activities - which involved a lot of behind-the-scenes creative work, particularly arranging music, as well as working with other musicians - made me feel that writing music would be a good fit. I began to compose towards the end of my undergraduate studies, and continued in earnest as a Masters and Doctoral student at the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, where I am on the composition and music theory faculty...

Judah Adashi: Making Classical Hip

He defines 'contemporary'classical as music produced within the last twenty or so years that has drawn inspiration and influence from other musical genres—including rock, jazz and reggae—as well as life and place. The role of place is something he pondered this past season as he directed a concert series entitled Evolution Contemporary Music Series at An Die Musik on North Charles Street: does location matter? Does the national or cultural origin of music still have influence in our increasingly virtual world?

A Life of Living Music
September 25, 2009
David Rosenfeld, Gilman Bulletin
Judah Adashi is in his early 30s, lives in Federal Hill and displays the kind of daily enthusiasm for his job everyone wishes they had. So that proves it. Not all classical composers are dead. Adashi, a 1994 Gilman graduate, doesnt have anything against Mozart (died 1791) or Beethoven (died 1827). As the former director of the Traveling Men and a former conductor of Yales famous Whiffenpoofs, he doesnt have anything against popular music either, a cappella or otherwise. He just wants you to know that classical music is alive and well Read More
Review of Meditation: Three Episodes from William Styrons Darkness Visible (2000)
February 14, 2005
Dan Salvage, Sequenza21
The second half of "Resonance" contains three works by composers who are all under forty. I particularly liked Adashi's "Meditation: Three Episodes from William Styron's 'Darkness Visible'." This is a very sensitive, tonal work in three short movements. The guitar writing may lack the bravura found in several other pieces on the album, but in its place Adashi gives Lippel the chance to sing out beautiful, delicate melodic lines. The chromatic inflections to the relatively traditional harmony are well felt and never sound cheap. Also welcome were the luxurious silences: these gave some well-deserved moments of reflection to what is a pretty intense CD.
Review of Suite: Eight Haiku by Richard Wright (2001)
May 1, 2004
David Cleary, New Music Connoisseur
Suite: Eight Haiku by Richard Wright (2001) finds its composer, Judah Adashi, capturing the subtle emotive nature of this Japanese poetic format in a non-vocal environment. Scored for violin/marimba duo, its a personable, engaging opus with enough serious undercurrents to impart depth. And despite nods to Messiaen and Stravinsky, the sonic universe sounds fully personal.

Review of Elegiac Madrigals: Five Fragments by American Poets (1999/2010)
April 14, 2003
Joseph McLellan, Washington Post
[not available online]
Judah E. Adashi was present for the world premiere of his Elegiac Madrigals: Five Fragments by American Poets Saturday night at Bradley Hills Presbyterian Church. The performance, by the Cantate Chamber Singers under the direction of Gisele Becker, was part of Adashi's prize for winning Cantate's fourth Young Composers Contest. Born in 1975 and embarked on a promising career, Adashi, a native of Baltimore, is a teacher at the Peabody Conservatory and has a substantial list of works listed at his web site, www.judahadashi.com.
Elegiac Madrigals, using texts by Hart Crane, John Ashbery, Sam Shepard, E.E. Cummings and A.R. Ammons, is a series of muted but serene a cappella miniatures, composed with a fine sense of vocal textures and word values and an undertone of joy, although, like the other works chosen for this program, it is a meditation on death.

W.Va. adult drug court to graduate 7 Thursday
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The Kanawha County Adult Drug Court program will mark a milestone when seven graduates move on.
Supreme Court Chief Justice Brent D. Benjamin will attend the 10th graduation ceremony Thursday for the drug court, bringing to more than 50 the number of graduates since the program began in May 2009.
The drug court is one of 20 in the state. There are also 16 juvenile drug courts.
Proponents of drug courts say they are much cheaper than incarcerating offenders and graduates are less likely to offend again.

After the U.S. women's soccer team beat Colombia 3-0 on Saturday, Team USA is one step closer to the victory many expect of them since their near miss at the World Cup last year. Competition is definitely heating up at the Summer Olympics as this soccer match took some serious toughness and sportsmanship to win. U.S. star Abby Wambach was sucker-punched in the face by her Colombian opponent Lady Andrade. Showing the aftermath of this violent incident, Wambach tweeted a pic of her swollen, black eye with the caption, "Thanks for all the well wishes. Eye is healing fine. #reversesmokeyeye #notcool."
We have all been pretty impressed with how Wambach has handled this dirty play. After being punched, she lay on the ground wincing in pain with a surprised face that said, "What the…?" But instead of retaliating, Wambach continued to play and not respond to Andrade's alleged taunting. She channeled her anger and frustration into unstoppable motivation to beat the Colombian team. In the second half, Wambach scored a goal, breaking the U.S. women's soccer record for scoring at the Olympics with a tally of six. Way to go, Abby!
The U.S. women's soccer team continues to show that they are not players to be messed with, as their goalie Hope Solo also started a bit of a stir after the July 28 match — this time with her own countrywoman. In response to World Cup winner-turned-NBC correspondent Brandi Chastain's criticism of defender Rachel Buehler, Solo tweeted that Chastain needs to "get more educated." Chastain later responded by saying, "I'm here to do my job, which is to be an honest and objective analyst at the Olympics." We're relieved that Chastain answered in such a level-headed manner, even complimenting the US goalie, saying that Hope Solo was "very coordinated." We hope all of Team USA can get back on track now, put aside these feuds and win the gold medal!

Today may seem like any other day, but it isn't.
Today's the day the Royal Canadian Mint stops distributing pennies to banks and retailers.
From here on in, that pound of pocket fluff you've been carrying around will gradually dwindle into oblivion, putting all the heat on the nickel and the dime as the next candidates for cash extinction.
I knew the penny's days were numbered the first time I walked past one on the ground, thought about it for a sec, then walked on by.
That was confirmed when I returned along the same route an hour later and the poor little coin was still there.
I felt sorry for it, picked it up and took it home, where it worthlessly continues to take up valuable space.
Even though it weighs about a kilo, my foundling change is worth a ride on the bus. For a moment, I thought I'd do exactly that, dump it all in a transit coin box, one penny at a time, one final protest against inflation. But lately my therapist says I'm showing real progress on overcoming my sociopathic tendencies, so I decided against it.
Instead, I got curious and examined my change, looking for a legendary 1936 dot or even a 1911 "godless" (printed without the Latin "dei gratia." There was so much sanctimonious backlash, the mint restored the phrase in 1912 and it's stayed there since.)
Sadly, no such luck. I did find a penny with no date on it, and was excited for a few minutes until I found a coin blog maintaining I was the proud possessor of one of 716,366,000 pennies commemorating the 50th year of our majesty's reign over us. Worth exactly one cent. And sure enough, if you look closely on the heads side of the coin, there's a tiny bit of commemorative data.
I guess this is progress. The penny costs 1.6 cents to produce, about $11 million a year to produce $6.9 million in penny purchase power, a losing proposition, to say the least. The penny has already been eliminated in New Zealand, Australia, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway and Finland, and no doubt other nations usually thrust in our faces as progressive, clean, and nice to visit even if you wouldn't want to live there.
It's not as if the penny will disappear overnight — there are still 31,000 tonnes stuffed in jars and under sofa cushions across the nation. But it's officially over. No more pretending things cost $99.99 because they sound easier to buy than at $100.
And no more penny for your thoughts. Now the minimum wage for your opinion should be rounded up to a nickel, at least until it makes the endangered currency list. But if we follow the government guidelines, it's more likely our two cents will be rounded down… to what they're really worth.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez Are Fighting Again — And This Time It's Because of Nick Jonas: Report
Justin Bieber may want to hold off on calling himself Selena Gomez's "boyfriend" for the time being.
The on-again, off-again couple is off-again, Hollywood Life reports, and it's all because of Selena's ex Nick Jonas — but not for the reason you might think. According to the site, it's Nick and Justin that have gotten chummy lately, leaving Selena feeling betrayed about their newfound friendship.
"Justin and Nick Jonas hung out all night," a source close to Selena told Hollywood Life. "Selena was crying about it. He wouldn't even return her calls when she found out and called him up."
Things seemed especially amiss when Selena failed to show up at Justin's show in Chicago over the weekend.
"At this point, Selena isn't going to any of Justin's concerts ever again," the insider added. "She doesn't want to speak to him anymore and told him it's over. Hanging out with Nick proved that he wants to just be a jerk about this, and Selena's sick of being heartbroken. They are finished and I think it's for good this time."

A cameraman is shining a harsh white light on him, as a local television reporter attempts to hook a microphone to his collar. For Randazzo, this will be the second television interview in less than 20 minutes.
Standing just over 6 feet, 4 inches tall, with a broad chest and shoulders, Randazzo towers over the cameraman and reporter, and he looks perfectly natural in the football jersey he is wearing. In fact, a casual observer might easily conclude that Randazzo is a professional athlete giving a sports interview. But the number on Randazzo's jersey is not his own. The number belongs to Army Spc. Pat Tillman, a Ranger who was killed during a combat mission in Afghanistan.
Randazzo is wearing an Arizona State University football jersey in Tillman's honor. He is also wearing an "America Supports You" military-style identification tag on a chain around his neck, a Defending Freedom wristband on his right wrist, and he is holding a teddy bear in his right hand. The teddy bear will be given to the child of a deployed servicemember.
The man is not a sports star. He is not a celebrity. And the interviews he is giving tonight are not about him. They are about the people he is trying to honor in an event on which he has focused almost exclusively for the last two weeks.
The weekend after Thanksgiving, Randazzo came up with the idea of "Operation Holiday Cheer," a rally to be held Dec. 11 to recognize the servicemembers who have served the country, those who are still serving, and the families that support them.
"We didn't have a lot of time to prepare, but I didn't want to postpone (the event). I wanted to do it before the holidays to make sure the families of those who have given their lives and those who are deployed serving our country were recognized during the holiday season, when they cannot be with their loved ones," Randazzo says.
Since coming up with the idea, Randazzo has thrown himself wholeheartedly into the project. He coordinated with the families of a dozen local servicemembers who have been killed -- six Army soldiers, five Marines, and an Air Force airman -- who will attend the rally and speak about their lost loved ones. He arranged transportation and lodging for those families that no longer live in the area.
But that is just a small part of his efforts. He created thousands of T-shirts, wristbands and teddy bears that he will give away. He arranged for local entertainers and elected officials to attend the rally. He coordinated with nearby Nellis Air Force Base for a flyover of two A-10 Warthog combat jets. Even as the final day before the rally draws to an end, the list of tasks continues on in thousands of details and plans Randazzo has created and which he is coordinating and managing.
His cell phone rings just about every three minutes. He's getting calls from entertainers who have heard about the rally and want to be included. He's getting calls from politicians who suddenly found time to be involved. Servicemembers' families are calling him. People who just want more information are calling him. It goes on and on.
Yet, when he's not on the phone or talking to workers who are setting up or being interviewed, Randazzo talks to people who are passing by.
"You're coming tomorrow, right? Tomorrow morning. It's going to be a big event," he says to a passerby. "Come out to support the troops. It'll be great."
His homespun, earnest approach apparently works. Using a grassroots network, Randazzo has managed to get the word out in a big way. Based on feedback he has received, he and local authorities are preparing for 15,000 people to attend, making this event one of the largest rallies held for the troops so far during the war on terror.
Randazzo is not a professional event planner. He doesn't have any ties to the Department of Defense. He is just a private citizen, a businessman who believes it is vitally important for America to honor its troops. For the last two weeks, he's virtually ignored his business and his family -- Randazzo is married to his college sweetheart, and they have two sons, ages 12 and 9, and a daughter, 12.
"I know it's been tough on my family the past couple of weeks, but I tell them, 'You've got to understand that there are more 100,000 dads out there who don't get to be with their families because they're in a war,'" Randazzo says. "'What I'm doing is temporary; it's lasted a couple of weeks. But they're out there in the dirt, braving danger, for month after month.'"
According to Mike Lubbe, the chief executive officer of the YMCA Southern Nevada, who coordinated the use of YMCA facilities for the rally, Randazzo had a unique ability to turn his ideas into reality.
"He's so intense. He's got this great combination of passion, of tenacity. A lot of people have one and not the other, but he's got all this great passion and then the tenacity to follow through and do something about it," Lubbe said.
Randazzo said his desire to honor the troops stems from his interest in history. He said he's long admired the soldiers who fought in World War II, who stormed the beaches of Normandy and parachuted into combat, and he thinks today's servicemembers are displaying the same kind of courage and commitment.
"The one thing I regret is not joining the military when I got out of school," Randazzo says. "I got married young and started a family, and I wasn't really in a good position to join then. My heart goes out to all these guys who are serving for us."
Randazzo said he is particularly inspired by Tillman's story. The former Arizona Cardinals professional football player turned down millions of dollars in order to serve his country as an enlisted soldier. Throughout his service and until his death, Tillman scrupulously insisted on not being treated any differently than his fellow soldiers.
"I have a bumper sticker on my (sport utility vehicle) that says 'Pat Tillman: American Role Model,'" Randazzo says. "And that is who I want to be a role model for my kids -- someone who makes sacrifices to serve his country, not just someone who makes a lot of money."
Operation Holiday Cheer is the second rally organized by Randazzo. The first was an impromptu affair held in March 2003. Though he planned and executed that event in only four days, Randazzo said local law enforcement authorities estimates that between 4,000 and 5,000 people showed up to honor the troops.
"I was fed up with anti-war protestors, and I hadn't seen anyone do anything to support the troops," Randazzo said. "So I decided we should do something to show them that we appreciate what they're doing for us."
That first rally raised more than $26,000 for the United Services Organization, which helped send personal comfort items to the troops, according to Randazzo.
Randazzo said he was spurred to put together the second rally by seeing the deaths of two 19-year-old Marines during the battle of Fallujah, Iraq.
"I thought back to when I was 19. I was in college partying, and these guys are going door to door clearing buildings, or they're out there doing convoys, dealing with ambushes and explosive devices," Randazzo says.
Finding supporters and coming up with ways to show support seems to come easily to Randazzo, but some aspects of setting up these events are very tough, he said.
"Dealing with families who have lost their loved one is brutal, just brutal," Randazzo says. "Seeing how devastated parents can be after losing a kid, and being so proud of them at the same time."
The fact that it looks like Operation Holiday Cheer will be a huge event, dwarfing Randazzo's last rally, brings him a feeling of accomplishment.
"This is one of the most important events of my life," Randazzo says. "To me, it ranks up there with getting married to the woman I love and having children. I'm so glad to be able to do something for our troops. I'm doing this out of a selfish reason -- it makes me feel awesome. There's just no other way to explain it. Being able to do something for the troops and their families is an awesome feeling, just awesome."

For six months, Palm Beach Atlantic University pharmacy student Kylie Webb endured stomach problems before doctors found out the cause.
The diagnosis: Crohn's disease, a chronic disorder that causes inflammation of the digestive or gastrointestinal tract.
It was 2008, and Webb had just finished her first year in PBA's Gregory School of Pharmacy. Soon she turned energy toward educating people about the disorder and raising money for research through the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America.
She enlisted the help of several of her pharmacy school classmates, who helped to raise more than $10,000 for the cause in the past 2½ years.
"It feels amazing to know that I have the support of the pharmacy students, especially those in my professional fraternity, Kappa Psi," Webb said. "My fraternity brothers have always been there to make signs for fund-raising events, send emails, organize community service and so on. Basically, anything I need, someone is always there willing to help out."
Tomorrow, Webb and her team will participate in the foundation's Take Steps Walk in downtown West Palm Beach. Webb has been named this year's local honored hero for the event, a designation she never expected.
"When (local Walk Manager) Jennifer Baker first called me and asked me to be the local honored hero, my initial reaction was just kind of like, 'What? Are we talking about the same Kylie?'" she said.
"After I had some time to digest everything she was saying, I was extremely excited. I honestly couldn't believe that I could have that much impact for her to even consider giving me that kind of title."
One person who wasn't surprised about the choice was Dr. Mary Ferrill, dean of the pharmacy school.
"Kylie is an inspiration to other students," Dr. Ferrill said. "Instead of letting her disease limit her activities, she uses it to witness to others about what we can do with God's help."
Webb has had an interest in pharmacy since her senior year at Lake Worth Community High School. Through the school's medical magnet program, she took a pharmacy technician course started by Walgreen's Pharmacy.
"After taking that class I just decided that I was going to be a pharmacist, and here I am," she said.
Take Steps is the largest event dedicated to finding cures for digestive diseases. At more than 100 walk sites across the country, thousands of people gather to fight against Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Over the past three years, the organization has raised more than $20 million for research and patient service programs.
The West Palm Beach Take Steps Walk begins at 4 p.m. Saturday at the Meyer Amphitheatre. Registration begins at 3 p.m. For more information, visit www.cctakesteps.org.

The idea that NOLA could welcome back everyone was a farce from the beginning. There is not enough money or brains to go around. Nagin put his self-interest ahead of everything else. Good looking out Ray! That is why a full recovery won't take place. I take the politically correct T-P to task for they won't even report what the AP reports nationally that we are repeating the same mistakes with the levees.
Wow! the writer of this articles seems to think he is a genius. Drive slower save gas. They instituted a national speed limit in the 70's. We have come full circle again with some in Congress suggesting we go back to 55 mph. The average household spends about $2400 a yr. based on $4.00 gas and 20 miles to the gallon. So if you save 10%
you save $240 in a year's time. I think I would rather drive faster for the $240 savings.
It seems as though some people feel it is a GOD given right to stay in a certain neighborhood or city. Its not! If these people can't find adequate housing in New orleans - off you go to somewhere else. Myself included, It should not be a cradle to grave service and the government providing indefintely. I am waiting for all the do-gooders to come out of the woodwork.
Smokewagons, you may want to recalculate your numbers, some of the people who have been wounded have been shot on multiple occasions. It would be better if these thugs practiced shooting more often, their success rate at killing other thugs would be higher It would save on our stressed medical system.
To Farwood Drive and people like you:
You are pathetic! To attempt to mitigate what this officer did by using an argument of relavatism is what is wrong with New Orleans. Anything goes! This guy needs jail time and severe time at that.
Lets face facts, this is black on black crime again! Unfortunately there are too many black people who think white people are racists if they comment on the fact that black people murder other black people at an alarming rate.
Instead of focusing and providing solutions for their decaying communities (since its a black thing, no comments allowed by whitey) many blacks choose to continue to call whites racists for pointing out the obvious.
So much for post racial politics.
I think every cheap liberal should reach into their pockets and help this poor woman and her family. Studies have shown that the mean republicans give 30% more of their income to charity than you stingy liberals. You cheap liberals ought to pony up more of your own money more often than trying to dip into everyone elses pocket ( in the form of taxes) every time some unfortunate thing happens. Life is not always fair ( RFK had that to say). This woman will find a home on somebody else's dime - no doubt.
What a fascist state extreme liberals will have us live in. All the less than scholarly people such as Twangster and ladyfur feel it is their right to hurl invectives at conservatives,who are entitled to point out that the black community self imposes many of their own wounds, violence, drugs, HIV, lack of a nuclear family etc.
My ancestors are from Ireland, they came here after the civil war. We oppressed no one, yet because we chose to be conservatives we are branded as racists by the left. Its about time Obama and his legion of hate mongerering kool-aid drinkers grow up and stop blaming America for everything that ails them.
To all you Obama Bin Laden Koolaid drinkers, many of us average folk knew you were being hoodwinked, just like the many other delusions in history you came under the influence of an artful masquerader. God bless America!
I always feel leery when using that branch just because it seems so utterly easy to knock off. The security guards don't seem imposing at all. It is a sleepy little branch office that was ripe to be jacked. Its a jungle out there.
She just had her drink on! Her whole thing last night was, Best be no Sh*t, because she was all about keepin it real.
the previous message was intended for Blitz not neworleans24
I have been a faithful season ticketholder of the Saints for decades. I remember their recent losing seasons and how hard it was to pack the dome. A few 3-13 seasons and the Saints will go marching out. Trust in that!
The Hornets moving from New Orleans had been a worry before Katrina. The same lukewarm support for the team existed before the storm. When the team was relocated to OKC it had sellouts nearly every night. Let' s face facts the city didn't support the Jazz in the seventies and it doesn't s reward the great play of the Hornets now. With the continued exodus of educated and well-paid professionals the high price ticket demad will continue to erode. End of Days for the Hornets in NOLA.
kennerguy, you must be fairly new to the New Orleans area, very young or a revisionist. In 1995-1996 New Orleans had over 400 murders a year, it was the murder capital of the U.S. It was only under Chief Pennington, who is now in Atlanta that they reduced the murder rate to some acceptable level (still very high by most standards). New Orleans - in your words - has not been such a nice place to live since the 60's.
Hey all of you who are willing to give these traitors a pass have eaten too much of their tasty grub or have eaten retard sandwiches. Ever think that the enemies of the U.S.A. - China being one of them - aren't relying on the laid-back anything goes kind of a way from our U.S. citizens to get over on us.
I bet these same morons Tubre and Kinney moan about jobs being shipped over to China. Morons of the highest order.
For Kinney to compare an international espinoge case and the Duke rape case. He must be doing the following:
a. Eating retard sandwiches
b. He is part of the conspiracy
c. A seditious moron
d. All of the above
That made some of his Uptown neighbors almost defiant as they watched the FBI clean out the home. "I wish he'd gotten away with it," Michael Tubre said. "He was an ideal neighbor. And Jane was just an average nice lady."
Tubre's roommate, Tommy Kinney, said his first thoughts are of the wrongly accused Duke University lacrosse players in his home state of North Carolina. He said it would be hypocritical of him not to give Kuo the benefit of the doubt in this case.
"He's been nothing but kind to me," Kinney said.
Frankly, I amazed and disgusted that people like Tubre and Kinney would sell out their nation for some nice conversation and some gumbo. People like them are unamerican.
Hey Chris Rose regarding your article about celebrating murder victims - one and all - suck on this! You carpetbagger.
There have been no killings along Carnival parade routes since Feb. 18, 2004, when a 20-year-old woman was fatally wounded by gunfire that erupted when rival teenagers clashed along the St. Charles Avenue neutral ground.
Carlos Miller, 16 at the time, was booked with first-degree murder but acquitted at trial at Orleans Parish Criminal District Court, after jurors heard from two witnesses who could only testify that they saw Miller with a gun moments before the shooting.
Miller lived only two years more. He was shot multiple times on Nov. 24, 2007, in the 3200 block of Behrman Highway in Algiers, and died about an hour later at a local hospital.
In the past, folks have suggested that the T-P begin a "crime section" in the newspaper. The thing is, there is so much crime it fills the entire newspaper. As are most of today's headlines. Its not the T-P's fault its just the condition NOLA is in. A sprwling ghetto that has taken on the jail culture.

NEW YORK — Phil Ramone, the masterful Grammy-Award-winning engineer, arranger and producer whose platinum touch included recordings with Ray Charles, Billy Joel and Paul Simon, has died at 72, his family said Saturday.
Ramone's son, Matt Ramone, confirmed the death. The family did not release details of the death, but Matt Ramone said his father was "very loving and will be missed."
Few in the recording industry enjoyed a more spectacular and diverse career. Ramone won 14 competitive Grammy Awards and one for lifetime achievement. Worldwide sales for his projects topped 100 million. He was at ease with rock, jazz, swing and pop, working with Frank Sinatra and Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney, Madonna and Lou Reed.
One of the biggest names not to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Ramone was on hand for such classic albums as The Band's "The Band" and Bob Dylan's "Blood On the Tracks." He produced three records that went on to win Grammys for album of the year, Simon's "Still Crazy After All These Years," Joel's "52nd Street" and Charles' "Genius Loves Company."
"I always thought of Phil Ramone as the most talented guy in my band," Joel said in a statement. "So much of my music was shaped by him and brought to fruition by him. I have lost a dear friend and my greatest mentor."
Fascinated by the mechanics of the studio, Ramone was a pioneer of digital recording who produced what is regarded as the first major commercial release on compact disc, "52nd Street," in 1982.
He was even part of political history, helping to record the storied 1962 party for President John Kennedy at Madison Square Garden that featured Marilyn Monroe's gushing rendition of "Happy Birthday."

Among the former species are the chanterelles, morels, porcini, and truffles. I recently learned that corn smut, an economically important fungal scourge of corn, is also a favored delicacy and that there are folks who raise corn for the specific purpose of raising corn smut for food.
Furthermore fungi play a vital role in the health and drought resistance of our forests and crops, with many species providing trees and shrubs with water and minerals in amounts tree roots would be incapable of alone. While other species are highly important for the work they do in degrading dead wood and vegetation and returning the recoverable nutrients to the soil. If only we were as effective and efficient in recycling our own wastes as our healthy forests are in recycling theirs.
An exciting step in this direction has been taken recently by a small firm located on Green Island near Albany. They are using finely ground agricultural waste to grow a cellulose-degrading fungus in a manner that converts the mixture into lightweight biodegradable forms suitable to use for packaging of articles such as computers and cameras. The result is an excellent substitute for Styrofoam, an un-degradable scourge of our beaches and oceans.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Who Is Lydia McLaughlin, Real Housewives of OC's Newest Castmate? (PHOTOS)
Season 8 of the Real Housewives of Orange County is already off to a dramatic start, but we have even more to look forward to than backstabbing and crazy catfights. ;With a brand new season comes a brand new face — Lydia Stirling McLaughlin!
Having moved to Dana Point with her husband and two kids, Lydia first got to know her neighbor and fellow OC castmate Alexis Bellino. Of her first impression of Lydia, Alexis says, "She's constantly smiling. She's super positive. Lydia and I share the same faith and we have the same bedazzled Bible!"
Of course, it wouldn't be the Real Housewives without a little jealousy. "She's like a size zero and eats cheeseburgers," Alexis adds. "It drives me crazy."
The other Housewives have their own opinions about the new addition to the show. "There's something about her that's very bohemian," says Heather, while Vicki adds, "The first impression I had was 'Are you 15?'"
Lydia certainly comes across as bubbly and young to the rest of the cast, but Tamra seems to think she'll pull out the claws if the occasion calls for it. "Lydia on the outside looks like this sweet, angelic girl that couldn't hurt a fly, but when you get to know Lydia, she's got a spark. And I were you, I'd be very careful not to light it."
