Wednesday, January 30, 2013
By Eric Brandner
Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but on one base in Afghanistan, it's not easy to find.
Forward Operating Base Sharana – the main U.S. installation inside Afghanistan's violence-prone Paktika province – is winding down some operations. In preparation for the base's eventual closure, breakfast has been reduced to Meals, Ready to Eat (MREs). The dining facility on the USO's side of the base has also shut down its soup-and-sandwich operation between meals, leaving it open only for lunch and dinner service. The base's shopette and Green Beans Coffee location are now closed, too.
So what's a tired and hungry unit to do if their patrol doesn't match up to the meal schedule?
DJ Stanhope has a bowl and a spoon for them.
"[USO FOB Sharana] began the hot oatmeal breakfasts on Jan. 2," said Stanhope, the USO center manager at Sharana. "The breakfasts have been well-received. I tested them out three days a week at first and have already gone to seven days.
"One of the sergeants at the Mayor's Cell said it was the only way he was getting hot food in the morning."
The breakfasts consist of old-fashioned oatmeal, evaporated milk, brown sugar, raisins and other chopped, dried fruit as it becomes available.
The key word here, of course, is available. FOB Sharana is in the Hindu Kush Mountains near the Pakistan border and is one of the most dangerously located bases in the 12-year war. The USO can accommodate about 25 troops for breakfast each morning at current donation levels.
Stanhope combats the scarcity of items by using connections to bring in donations. USO volunteer Tyler Forr – a teenager Stanhope met while working for Liberty USO (which covers Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey) – helped coordinate a major influx of breakfast food. There is the large crockpot from Esther Wolfer, a co-founder of the Major Stuart Adam Wolfer Institute, which supports troops stationed both overseas and domestically. There are two mini-triple dipper crockpots, one donated by Ann Yingling – wife of Maj. Gen. (Ret.) John Yingling – and the other by former USO of Northern Ohio Executive Director Berni O'Malley. The cooking utensils are from Bettie Stone, who served as USO duty manager in Kuwait and Afghanistan and as a center manager in Iraq.
"My high school class, college friends and mother have sent us lots of extras as we need them, too," Stanhope said.
She also puts requests for specific donations on the USO FOB Sharana Facebook page and orders nonperishable food and supplies off Amazon.com when donations aren't able to fill the center's needs.
The crockpots come in handy for USO FOB Sharana's recently instituted soup, nacho and chili nights. According to Stanhope, these events grew out of more traditional tailgates the Sharana USO hosted during football season. But with meal options now limited – it can be 15 hours between dining facility-prepared meals – Stanhope has started holding food nights three times a week with an eye toward making them daily events.
Sgt. Kyle Taylor – a Fort Riley, Kan.-based soldier on his third deployment – started helping with the Sharana football tailgate nights back in September. He's seen positive results from the extra food nights.
"[The USO has] really helped out with the morale," Taylor said. "For such a small building and small amount of workers they have done a great job for my buddies and myself."
"It's a great gesture," Army Spc. Lavano Walters said. "If not for this, I'd have no hot food until lunch. I think it's healthier than MREs, too."

Today was meant to have been the first full day of training camp for the future 2013 World Junior Championship gold medal-winning United States of America, a day that symbolically stands as the start of the happiest time of year for every good person on Earth (i.e. those born and living within American borders).
We wore our USA Hockey jerseys, t-shirts, hats, pants, and underwear in anticipation of this wonderful day, but awoke to news that Hockey Canada had already — and predictably — worked its evil and noxious tendrils in the international hockey community to preemptively try to ruin the occasion.

Website - Division of Worker's Compensation
Email - Bureau of Insurance
Insurance carriers and self-insured employers are key stakeholders in the workers compensation program. They have the primary responsibility for the administration of workers compensation claims for injured workers. This includes the responsibility to make payments that are due to workers promptly and accurately.
Further, the responsibilities include interfacing with the Workers Compensation Division by sending required reports and by replying promptly to all correspondence. The information contained on these web pages is intended to assist insurers, employers and claims administrators to properly insure workers and administer the workers compensation claims.
Worker's Compensation actively participates in the EDI Project sponsored by the International Association of Industrial Accident Boards & Commissions (IAIABC). Insurance Letters #453 and #455 provide instructions on information and forms that are now required to be electronically transmitted via EDI or the Internet Pending Report Application.
There has been an amendment to Wis. Stats. 102.13 (2) (c). A filing of a final medical report in cases with eye injuries where the employee received treatment on three or more occasions off the employer's premises, even if there is no lost time from work, is now required. As part of its claims monitoring process the Worker's Compensation Division will follow-up with all reported eye injuries as necessary. In cases where there is no lost time it is not necessary for insurance carriers or self-insured employers to report the claim to the Worker's Compensation Division unless the three or more offsite visits threshold is met.

Read: Getting That NY Winter Classic
In Newsday, Neil Best spoke with John Collins of the NHL who said that the Winter Classic won't likely come to New York until 2014 at the earliest.
He says that Met Life stadium is an option, but with both the Jets and the Giants playing there, it is doubtful that the stadium will have enough time to accommodate building a rink.
Best says that Yankee Stadium is the preferred venue to hold the Winter Classic which will become available after 2013.
The 2014 Winter Classic will be the Rangers and the Bruins at Yankee Stadium and if I could put some money on that I would. Best notes that NBC wanted Rangers and Bruins at the old Stadium and that match up makes the most sense, especially at Yankee Stadium. It will be two years for the Rangers and four for the Bruins. I bet Detroit and Washington hold the ones in between and the Rangers return, with brown pants, for the 2014 game and more 24/7.

NEWPORT–A hot start by Paul Saaman and a solid team performance from the line in the fourth fueled the UCA boy's 46-41 win over Craftsbury in the two team's season opener on Saturday afternoon.
"I was very happy to start out with a win and the boys definitely deserved it," said UCA coach Tony DeLaBruere. "We started out great and basically the first and fourth quarters were one game and the third and the fourth were another.
"I love playing against Craftsbury, their fans are very intelligent and passionate, and like I said, it is nice to start out with a win."
After the crowd was treated to the UCA girl's team singing the national anthem, the action got under way with Craftsbury's Kyle Adams draining a jumper to stake the Academy to 2-0 lead.
Then UCA took over, going on a fourteen point run, fueled by Saaman's heroics.
He hit from everywhere, jumpers, lay-ups, and a pair of threes.
"I was trying to jump start the team, as I really wanted this game and I thought if we could win it would set the tone for the rest of the season."
Said his coach, "Paul always puts in more than 110 percent, I know that's cliche´, but the kids wants it so bad, and if we can match Paul's intensity, we are going to have a good year."
The only place he didn't score was from the line, but considering he dropped in ten points in the quarter, I am sure his coach had no problem with that.
Alex Vetere halted the run with a lay-up, and the Chargers would eventually get some more scoring from Vetere, Adams and Austin Massi to put 13 on the board after 8:00.
The Crusaders however kept pounding the ball, both inside and out, and finished the quarter with 19.
In the second things would change.
It looked good for UCA as they opened with some scoring from the DeLaBruere boys, a two from Chris and a three by Jon.
After a Vetere free throw, Chris drained a three of his own, and that was the end of the scoring for UCA for quite a while.
Adams and Vetere took control of the game for Craftsbury, combining for twelve of the Chargers' fifteen second quarter points.
Logan Masse had the other three and suddenly it was the Academy on top 28-27 going into the break.
"We ran a help defense, we shut down the passing lanes and we ran our offensive elements, and once those things kicked in together, we had it," said Craftsbury coach Rick Thomas
"During the second quarter we just locked down and played defense," echoed Adams. "We spread the floor out and let our triple penetration do a lot of the work offensively."
To make matters worse for UCA, Dale Martell went down with what appeared to be a nasty ankle injury, and already with a roster of just seven players, coach DeLaBruere was definitely concerned.
"We managed to get out of the game with just a minor ankle injury, but we know we've got a short bench and we've got to be well conditioned, which is one of our main focuses this year, because it can turn bad in a hurry."
In the third, not much was doing for either team until Frank Spiese put home a rebound with 5:57 left to play to get the Charger momentum going.
It was short lived as neither squad would score until Saaman dropped one in with 3:35 remaining.
Just nine points were scored in the third as CA put home 6 to UCA's 3, and the Chargers held the lead going into the fourth.
Trailing by four with 8:00 on the clock, UCA responded to the situation, quickly knotting the game at 34-34 courtesy of of a Saaman fade away and a Martell, who returned late in the third, lay-up.
Then, as good old JR would say, things turned into a slobber knocker.
Bodies started flying, for both teams.
Things had been chippy early, but the officials had let them play.
Now they were reaping what they sowed and the Craftsbury fans, and rightly so, let them know about it.
The UCA crowd was a little quieter, but both sides had plenty to be angry about.
The first half saw a series where Adams got drilled in the head with an elbow followed by a UCA player getting cleaned out with no calls being made.
By this time in the game, it was like that Drowning Pool song says; "Let the bodies hit the floor."
Both Adams and Massi fouled out, and UCA went to the line eight times to Craftsbury's one.
Said Thomas, "We are going to have to learn to cope with foul trouble, as we have a limited bench. We are also going to have to figure out how to close out games and that when we are down with 3-4 minutes left, keep our composure."
Returning UCA junior Marquel Webster, who spent last year with Lake Region, played the the entire fourth with four fouls, but managed to stay in the game
"It takes a smart, heady guy to play that quarter with the four fouls, and he had at least three blocks, That shows how smart our ball players can be," said coach DeLaBruere.
Chris DeLaBruere had three field goals to go along with a 3/6 performance to lead UCA with nine points in the quarter, helping to seal the win.
DeLaBruere finished with a game-high twenty points, followed by sixteen for Saaman.
Adams led the Chargers with seventeen, followed by Vetere's ten.
1-0 UCA moves on to face Canaan today at 6:30 while 0-1 Craftsbury will play their first game in their new gymnasium at 7:00.

Mark Schulman: Defending Science Against the 'Futurists' and 'Marketing Gurus' of TED
The TED organization isn't the first to censor scientists for having unconventional ideas. It's just the latest.
It's worth remembering that for hundreds of years, "scientific evidence" was used to justify the convenient assertion that people of color were racially inferior. Today we call that "misusing science" and "pseudoscience" -- but at the time it was mainstream scientific thought. Nothing about it was true, but the scientific mainstream laughed at radicals who said so.
For years mainstream scientific studies denied the connection between smoking and poor health. It was "insurgent" scientists who finally made the case. During the "reefer madness" era, it was considered a matter of settled science that marijuana was a "gateway drug" that would lead to a life of violent crime, and that comic books coarsened the young and destroyed empathy. For a scientist to say otherwise was to invite censure -- even though they were empirically correct.
Which is to say that there is such a thing as "bad science" and "pseudo-science," but that even scientists have a pretty poor record deciding what it is sometimes. When social forces try it, when social organizations or politicians or businesses try to tell scientists what is and isn't science ... well, do I even have to mention Galileo?
Now TED, an organization made up of marketing gurus specializing in 15 minute talks about how "the (SOMETHING) is going to change EVERYTHING," has taken upon itself the role of scientific censor, telling real scientists, with real credentials and significant publications, what their research can and can't say.
In the interest of keeping "bad science" out of TEDx talks, they've pulled the license from the West Hollywood TEDx event that was to feature the work of several prominent scientists who have conducted research that they say challenges established scientific paradigms. (Also featured were several non-scientists making non-scientific presentations -- also a regular staple of TED.)
Challenging established scientific paradigms isn't a threat to science: it's what science does. It's how we got from Isaac Newton to Einstein.
But TED has pulled the license of the West Hollywood TEDx, rather than let Larry Dossey give a presentation. Dr. Dossey has an M.D. from the Southwestern Medical school in Dallas, helped establish the Dallas Diagnostic Association, the largest group of internal medicine practitioners in that city, and was Chief of Staff of Medical City Dallas Hospital. He's served on NIH panels, edited peer reviewed journals, and his research been published in scientific journals of the highest caliber.
He is, in short, qualified to speak in his field. TED, however, would rather pull the license of an organization than let him present his conclusions.
That's not science: that's censorship by an organization more concerned with marketing than evidence.
Then there's Russell Targ.
Targ believes in the reality of psychic phenomenon -- a controversial claim. But he's also a published and peer reviewed scientist, who's received two awards from NASA and served at the Stanford Research Institute and researched this very subject. He is, in short, a qualified scientist and acknowledged subject matter expert who is capable of making a case.
Do we dismiss his research before we consider the evidence? Or do we consider the evidence? TED has declared his research to be "out of bounds." It's deciding, for us, what the science says.
TED, it must be clarified, is not a scientific journal. It is not a peer review board. It is not even a subject matter expert organization in any scientific sense, though there are some scientists on its "brain trust" -- along with actresses Meg Ryan and Anna Deavere Smith, some "marketing gurus," "design gurus," "futurists," and entrepreneurs. For "futurists," actresses, and "design gurus" to tell real scientists that they're not serious about evidence strains credulity. For TED's anonymous "science board" to issue silent decisions, without explanation, about the work of scientists in areas they may or may not be qualified to judge, is to turn the concept of science as an open, reasoned debate on its head.
I don't necessarily agree with any of the scientists who are presenting at the West Hollywood event -- now "exTED" instead of "TEDx." Candidly I'm not even familiar with some of the presenters. But I'm glad the presentation is going forward. Like Voltaire, we must defend the voices of those we might not agree with. Trying to take the controversial ideas out of science leaves us with broken science. Science advances because someone challenges conventional wisdom. If conventional wisdom only wins because TED's got its back, it doesn't deserve to win.
Make no mistake: we will change our minds in the future about some things we think are "scientifically settled" today. That's what happens. The more TED cuts itself off from genuine debate, the less informed TED audiences will be about real scientific revolutions. I don't know if any of the people presenting at West Hollywood exTED will truly change the scientific paradigm --- I'm skeptical -- but I know we'll never advance the edge of knowledge if we cut off legitimate scientists for having unpopular conclusions. Even if they're wrong.
Mark Schulman, PhD, currently serves as president of Saybrook University, a premier graduate institution for humanistic studies in psychology, mind-body medicine, organizational systems, leadership, and human science. He is the former president of Goddard College (Vermont), and president and professor of humanities at Antioch University Southern California, Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. He has published extensively on progressive and emancipatory education, distance learning, technology and culture.

FAIRFAX, Va. - In what seemed to be the winning shot, senior Emily Correal's lay up with 43 seconds remaining gave the William and Mary women's basketball team a 56-55 lead against George Mason on Sunday afternoon at the Patriot Center. However, Mason's Rahneeka Saunders connected on a baseline jumper with three seconds left to play as she lifted the Patriots over the Tribe, 57-56. The setback drops the Green and Gold to 5-17 overall and 3-8 in Colonial Athletic Association play, while George Mason improves to 7-14 on the season and 2-8 in league action.
Senior Janine Aldridge led the Tribe with a double-double that consisted of 16 points and 11 rebounds. Correal finished the afternoon with 10 points and six rebounds, while sophomore Jazmen Boone tallied nine points and five assists. The Green and Gold finished the game shooting 22-of-52 (42.3 percent) from the floor, which included a 4-of-13 (30.8 percent) effort from 3-point range. For the game, the Tribe held decisive advantages in bench points (22-9) and points in the paint (24-14).
In the early going, the Patriots jumped out to an early 11-4 advantage as Joyous Tharrington's jumper gave Mason the seven-point edge at the 15:45 mark. Senior Taylor Hilton paced the Tribe in the beginning stages with four points, while Correal initiated the scoring with a lay up at the 19:12 juncture.
W&M responded with a 14-5 burst as it took its first lead of the afternoon, 18-16, at the 9:14 mark after Boone's fast break lay up, which originated off of a steal and look ahead assist from Aldridge. Hilton's jumper ignited the run at the 15:13 mark, while senior Chanel Murchison's baseline jumper tied the affair, 16-16, with 10:04 remaining in the half.
After the Patriots tied the affair at 18 apiece, Aldridge's trifecta gave the Green and Gold a 21-18 edge with 8:03 left to go. However, the Patriots scored the next eight points as it controlled at 26-21 lead with 6:09 left in the stanza. Another trey courtesy of Aldridge, got the Green and Gold to within 28-26 but Mason scored the frame's final four points as it owned a 32-28 margin at intermission.
In second half action, Mason extended its lead to six, 41-35, after Cierra Strickland's 3-pointer at the 14:39 mark. The Tribe responded as junior Kaitlyn Mathieu tied the contest, 42-42, after the Waterboro, Maine, native netted a jumper at the 11:02 juncture.
The Green and Gold took its first lead of the half, 45-44, after sophomore Kyla Kerstetter connected on jump shot at the 8:25 mark. Kerstetter finished the afternoon with seven points on two made field goals and three free throws. Moments later, W&M's advantage grew to 47-44 after Boone's two-point bucket with 6:47 remaining.
In the final six minutes of action, the lead changed hands on five occasions. After Mason grabbed a 53-50 lead with 3:21 left to play, W&M countered with four-straight points as Correal's jump shot gave the Tribe a 54-53 margin with 1:36 remaining. Mason regained the lead, 55-54, after two Janaa Pickard foul shots at the 1:06 mark.
Once again, as it had done all afternoon, the Tribe answered as Correal's lay up put the Green and Gold back on top, 56-55, with just 43 seconds left to go. With the Tribe still leading, Mason was down to its last possession with nine seconds left in regulation. After inbounding the ball, Mason's Saunders was corralled into the corner and that's when the Washington, D.C., native connected on the baseline winner with only three seconds remaining.
Saunders led George Mason with 19 points and 13 rebounds, while Tharrington tallied 13 points and 11 boards. The Tribe held the Patriots to shoot just 39.0 percent (23-of-59) from the field, which included a 30 percent (3-of-10) performance from long-range.
The Green and Gold returns to action on Friday, Feb. 15, as it hosts Northeastern at 8 p.m. The contest against the Huskies will be the Tribe's annual breast cancer awareness "Hoops for a Cure" game. Admission to the contest is free of charge for fans who wear pink. Additionally, the game will be televised on Comcast Sports Network Mid-Atlantic and the Comcast Sports Network New England.

What does it mean when he mostly makes movies that please himself? I honestely didn't understand either part of what you were agreeing with, Zafocaine.
Prior to seeing Lincoln I read a lot of hype about Daniel Day Lewis' performance and he lived up to it. Great movie and it was captivating from start to finish.
The Hobbit was was also very good. I enjoy the adventures and have loved each and every one of these movies and i'm looking forward to more. It's such a rich story that I would prefer it be drawn out rather than hurried through. The landscapes that are filmed continue to make me want to visit New Zealand.
All three of these movies (including Django here) were well worth the price of admission.

It is being touted as vital to Cleveland's children, schools, neighborhoods and economic climate.
A coalition of political leaders, businesses , labor and church groups are working to pass Issue 107, a 15-mill school levy that would cost the average homeowner $294/year.
The money would implement an ambitious transformation plan for 4 years.
Recently, opponents have raised questions about a possible state takeover and new school funding plan.
Tom Beres and Plain Dealer Columnists Joe Frolik and Kevin O'Brien discuss the latest on the levy campaign with Mayor Frank Jackson and Schools CEO Eric Gordon on this edition of Between the Lines.

Note: James Dolan Stopped By The Locker Room Yesterday
According to the NY Post, Rangers owner James Dolan stopped by the locker room at the MSG Training Facility in Westchester after practice yesterday.
Brett Cyrgalis says that Dolan shook hands and had a few words some of the players before moving on.
Dolan was reportedly very much against the lockout and pushed to have talks restart after they fell apart.

Abby Wambach To High Five Rochester
After the Olympics wind down, and some much deserved rest is had, Abby Wambach will return to her hometown, Rochester N.Y. to participate in the project, The Hands That Make Rochester. The photography project will capture 25 images of the hands of people shaping today's Rochester.
It was George Eastman's dream to make the city a "better place to live and work." He made his vision a reality by giving back in the fields that help enrich the community, including arts, culture, health, corporate and civic life, and education.
In that same spirit, the museum along with world-renowned photographer, Gary Schneider will highlight the people who are working to make the city a better and stronger community for all.
"I consider handprint portraits to be as expressive as any of a face, more private, and possibly more revealing. They do not reveal race and, often, neither gender nor age," said Schneider, who borrows his unique technique from the ancient caves of Lascaux, the Shroud of Turin, and 19th-century spirit photography.
So here's to Abby and the rest of the Hands That Make Rochester. We are so very proud of you.

I have been playing with virtual machines latley, and wondered if I could run a virtual machine inside a virtual machine?
Is it possible?
Is it practical?
I have been playing with virtual machines latley, and wondered if I could run a virtual machine inside a virtual machine?
Nesting VMs is something that has been done for forever on IBM Mainframe hardware. That hardware does lots of stuff to make the process very very efficient. You can have VMs nested to an arbitrary depth and it works very well.
PC hardware very recently has kinda made this barely possible. A document on VMware's web site discusses it, but the gist is that you can have VMs nested 2 deep, but only on very modern hardware that supports true hardware virtualization (VT-x or AMD-V), and the second VM depth must be running the older style BT/binary translation style virtualization. There are also severe restrictions on the virtual monitors you're able to run on the inner guest.
Needless to say, it's not supported and I'd expect it to be really flakey if you do anything even remotely weird (like Hyper-V under ESX). And performance will not be good, regardless of if it is stable.
I don't believe most virtualization packages will allow you to run a VM in a VM. I know that VMware will check when it's installed to see if its being installed in a VM, and I hope other products do the same. I don't think the necessary CPU instructions would be presented through from the hypervisor running on the hardware up through the VM to reach the second VM. If it did work, you'd also be adding overhead without getting anything in return.
As for whether it's practical - I don't see why. If you need another VM, you can just run it next to the one you already have running. I can't imagine a case where you must have a VM running inside another VM. The additional overhead without a proportional gain of some resource would make this impractical.
Yes. There are even ways to run VMware ESX/vSphere in a virtual machine. I don't know why you would ever want to in practice, but it has been done.
Yes, you CAN but like so many things doesn't mean you should. I've seen a virtualized ESX server running a virtual machine that has another virtual ESX server within it. Granted it was a test just to see if it could be done (and it can) I really wouldn't recommend it.
Yes you can. For example, on Linux, you may run Xen with multiple VMs running OpenVZ, VirtualServer or some other kind of VM system. It is most certainly possible and also very practical depending on your purpose.
One reason that I could think of for doing this is to run multiple servers on a single physical machine. Whether you run it as a single level of VM hierarchy or multiple ones is dependent on your resource isolation plan.
If you need some specific, say legacy, system to be virtualized you can always do it in software, the nesting is not an issue then. Try qemu, I did it 2 level deep with it, but you can go deeper, the performance will probably make it useless, though. BTW, PC architecture was nomen omen made by IBM, but for totally different uses compared to what it is used for today.
As far as I know it is not possible, but VMware ESX can run in VMware Workstation for example. IMHO it is only good for testing.
It depends on the virtualisation technique. If you use solutions that are not "real" virtualisation like UML then you can run those inside, say, VMWare. Or themselves for that matter.
UML based installs can run inside VMWare VMs and other UML based installs (even nested). The performance metrics are not going to be pretty though!
Like many people have all ready said: of course it's possible. It depends on how well the VM hardware is emulated and what virtualization software you're using. VMWare Workstation, at least, doesn't want you to virtualize it.
As for if it's practical, maybe we should pose the question back to you: why would you need to do that kind of thing? What's wrong with just running two VMs side by side? And to what degree do you ask if it's practical? That is, if you're worried about it being practical to set up and configure, probably not. If you're more worried about it's practical usage, again, I can't think of anything I'd need to do this for unless I'm looking for bugs in the virtualization software or something.
Come on. Here's why. You need to run a Linux virtual machine to compile some stuff inside it. In the meantime, you need to access some remote resources which requires VPN (client available on Windows only). Thus I prefer a Windows virtual machine to run the VPN. Due to connectivity issues, the two virtual machines must be nested. Simple?
Yes. See here:
Yes, it is possible but really slow.
It's particulary useful if you're renting a server with limited allocated public IP (which depends for example on your MAC adress to not poison the network of your server provider); and that you want your VM IP to be bridged to communicate directly with internet. So when you can't have more than, for example, 3 public IP adress, but that you need 10 VM, it's a pretty good idea to have VMs in a global VM : you will use only one of your given public IP and then have many sub bridged VMs.
But you could actually use a mix of bridge and routed network config, it's just more tough concerning configuration.

Design aficionados have long loved Kelly Wearstler's impeccable sensibilities--and rightly so! She's responsible for the iconic look of the Viceroy hotels, the author of three beloved books, and her incredible interior design work is feted in all the best magazines. Oh, and did we mention her many product collaborations, which have resulted in her own china, linens, rugs, textiles, and wallpaper collections, plus the fact that she has a home accessories line and in-store boutique for said items at Bergdorf Goodman? (Hello overachiever!) She's truly a shelter savant and gifted with an insanely talented eye, which is why we were so elated to learn that Wearstler was bringing her unique, oft-emulated vision to the fashion world. This fall marks the launch of her 80-piece ready-to-wear collection, which includes everything from stunning cocktail dresses to beautiful blouses in an array of painterly prints to noteworthy outerwear options, all available at Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus. In addition to clothing, she's also launched a line of accessories, including scarves and jewelry, which are currently in stock at Net-A-Porter. As if this wasn't enough, Wearstler's also getting into the e-commerce game with her own web boutique, which will be up and running in mid-September and feature exclusive products from her fall collection. All in all, it's an exceptional debut from a true visionary--truly one of the strongest we've seen in years--which is why we're spotlighting a few of our favorite pieces in today's Line We Love. Read on for all the details and prepare yourself to fall in love with this incredibly chic collection!
Gypsum Striped Blazer ($495) in Coral/Black
Finding a blazer that's both versatile and striking is a challenging thing, which is why we're obsessed with Wearstler's striped iteration. Available in coral and black on the designer's site in late September or in black and white at Bergdorf Goodman now, this hip-length jacket will look wildly chic with everything from jeans to cropped trousers to sleek pencil skirts.
Serpentine Fringed Dress ($845)
One of the things that we admire most about Wearstler's debut collection is her ability to put her own personal twist on classic pieces, and how that transforms them into wholly unique items. Take this little black dress, for example. It has an ultra-alluring low back, small bustle, and lovely ruched silhouette, plus it's made from fringe-detailed satin, making it anything but ordinary!
Pyrite Embellished Brass Necklace ($425)
Some pendant necklaces are too long, some are fearfully short, but this incredible piece is absolutely, completely, utterly perfect. It reminds us a bit of a fashionable medieval flail, and since we're longstanding fans of jewelry that looks like weaponry, this is a decidedly good thing.
Samovar Skirt ($295, available on 9/22) in Ivory/Black
In addition to using unusual fabrics, Wearstler additionally uses unexpected prints to update classic silhouettes. This ivory and black skirt is the perfect example of this idea; a simple cut made fresh by what appear to be hand-drawn watercolor lines. If a mini isn't your thing, but you love the clean stripes, be sure to check out the Tanzanite Striped Blazer ($395), which has a similarly sophisticated look.
Wire Wrap Ring ($195, available 9/22)
If some of Wearstler's larger baubles seem to make too much of a statement for you, consider this ring as a subtler way of incorporating some of her signature style into your wardrobe. We love the way she's caged the lapis cube, resulting in a striking juxtaposition of organic matter and architectural flair. If you can't wait for the ring to hit Wearstler's online boutique, you can also order it via Bergdorf Goodman (800.558.1855) now.
Tide Pants ($245, 877.634.6263)
In addition to painterly stripes, Wearstler's also created a number of pieces that feature a tie-dye-meets-marbleized print, like these on-point, tapered-leg trousers. The taupe and black palette means these pants will play nicely with whatever's already in your closet, plus they have a carrot-like shape that is flattering for almost any figure.
Pyrite and Brass Bangle ($295)
If you're familiar with Wearstler's home accessories collection for Bergdorf Goodman, you probably know that the designer is fond of geometric accents. Delightfully, we can trace this theme through her jewelry collection too, as evidenced by this pyrite cube bangle. This piece simply screams "NYFW," and would add a tough-luxe touch to any look.

|Boone Rite Aid Robbed; Suspect Sought
|Written by Steve Frank
|Wednesday, 02 January 2013 16:14
Boone Police are seeking a suspect in the armed robbery of the Rite Aid Drug Store. The young white male entered the Rite Aid Pharmacy at Shops of Shadowline in Boone around 2 this afternoon, passing a note at the pharmacy apparently demanding drugs and saying that he had a gun
in his pocket. Boone Police were notified while the suspect was still in the drug store, and the call went out, answered by an SBI agent who had just pulled into the parking lot, and just as he approached a man was hurrying from the store and was immediately apprehended—but he turned out to be a father hurrying back to his children in his car. Boone Police say the suspect is a white male, 6+ feet tall, medium/large build, fair complexion with bushy, dark eyebrows. He was wearing a gray hoodie, black bandana, black jacket and a black toboggan. The suspect entered the store, presented a note that demanded prescription drugs. The suspect left the store traveling towards Harris Teeter on foot, but a perimeter set up in the area and searches of a number of areas and similarly dressed men turned up no suspects at this point. No vehicle description was derived in the early part of the investigation, which is still underway by Boone Police detectives. Anyone with information on this crime is asked to call Crimestoppers at 828-268-6959 or the Boone Police Department at 828-268-6900. You may remain anonymous. Crimestoppers pays rewards for information, which leads to arrests; recovery of stolen property; seizure of drugs and the location of wanted persons.

This region of Sarawak shelters the endangered Bornean species of orangutan, Pongo pygmaeus. Lanjak-Entimau Wildlife Sanctuary and Batang Ai National Park are among the richest sites for plants and animals in Malaysian Borneo. There are eight distinct forest types in the protected area, including the rare montane mossy forest. In addition to the orangutans, there are Bornean gibbons, white-fronted langurs, long-tailed and pig-tailed macaques, binturongs, barking deer, bearded pigs, and clouded leopards.
Just a few thousand Bornean orangutans remain on the planet, but a new discovery offers hope for these shy red apes.
Raiding an illegal trafficking operation, the Indonesian government, WCS, and our conservation partners take a bite out of wildlife crime on Borneo.

Critter Control has Washington offices in Seattle, NW Washington, Spokane
Wasps can be found around Washington homes during the autumn months of the year. Wasp problems occur because they typically make wasp nests in openings and on exterior furniture and light fixtures. They will also set up residence under light fixtures, deck railings and eaves of Washington homes creating even more wasp problems and wasp damage.
Wasp problems are most noticeable during the fall, when Wasps are notorious for disrupting outdoor activities, especially when food or drinks are available. One way to implement wasp control is to keep food or drinks covered while outdoors, which will help to get rid of wasps when they are searching for food. It is important to take extra caution when shooing away wasps to prevent stings or other wasp problems. It is best to contact your local Critter Control wasp control specialist to safely provide wasp removal.
The experts at Washington Critter Control specialize in safe wasp control and wasp removal solutions. Sometimes it is difficult to implement wasp control, particularly when the wasp nests are concealed or difficult to access. Critter Control knows effective methods for getting rid of wasps, how to get rid of wasp nests, and preventing wasps from building future nests in the same location. In order to protect you and your family from getting stung during wasp removal, it is best to contact a Critter Control expert who has the proper gear and wasp control solutions.
If you are experiencing a wasp problem in or around your Washington home, contact the experts at Critter Control today at 1-800-CRITTER for effective wasp control solutions.

It looks like "buenos días" is most commonly translated as "good morning," although apparently it can mean "good day" as well (like a literal translation would suggest).
Is it appropriate to greet someone with "buenos días", even if it's not morning? (eg: in English if say "good morning" to someone and it's 13:00 it might be construed as sarcastic).

Sharon Day, a Costa Mesa High product, ran hot and cold on Friday on her first day of the seven-event heptathlon at the Olympic Games in London.
Day, 27, sits 18th overall with 3,740 points after four events. Jessica Ennis of Great Britain leads the field with 4,158 points, while American Hyleas Fontain is fifth with 3,900.
Day began the day with a personal record of 13.57 seconds in the 100-meter hurdles. She finished fifth in her heat, but posted the 17th-best time, good for 1,040 points.
Next came the high jump, the event in which she competed at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, where she finished 12th in the qualifying round with a mark of 6 feet, 2 1/4 inches.
The 2005 NCAA high jump champion as a sophomore at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and a two-time CIF State champion in the event while at Costa Mesa, Day had cleared 6-4 3/4 coming in. But she managed only to clear 5-9 3/4 on Friday, nearly four inches shy of the mark she posted at the U.S. Olympic Trials, where she finished second overall to Fontain. Day's mark Friday was 19th-best in the field and produced 941 points.
Day managed another personal record in the next event, the shot put, producing a mark of 46-8 1/2 good for 813 points. Her mark at the trials was 43-11 3/4, so Fridays' effort, in the event that had been her biggest nemesis, marked a significant increase. It was the seventh best mark in the field.
She completed the first day by running 24.36 in the 200 meters, seventh in her heat and 18th-best in the field. It earned her 946 points, but was slightly off the pace of her mark in the trials (24.26).
Day ran 13.71 in the hurdles at the trials, where she produced personal heptathlon records in the long jump (20-0 1/2), and the javelin (147-9) and posted a personal-best overall score of 6,343. She will hope to continue that upward trend in those events Saturday, when she will also compete in the 800 meters.
Also Friday, women's discus thrower Seema Antil, coached by Newport Harbor High throwing guru Tony Ciarelli, just missed advancing to the 12-person final.
Antil, 29, who had been training in Orange County with Ciarelli for months, posted a mark of 203 feet, 1.4 inches.
Ranked No. 24 in the world, she was in the No. 12 position until the final round, when AmericanStephanie Brown-Traftonuncorked a throw of 212-10.72 to move into the final.
Antil's mark was nearly two feet shy of the 204-11.44 posted byFrance'sMelina Robert-Michon, who qualified No. 12.
— From staff reports
Newport Harbor High product April Ross and partner Jennifer Kessy won their round of 16 match in women's beach volleyball on Friday to advance to Sunday's quarterfinals.
Ross and Kessy, the No. 4 seeded entry, defeated the No. 11-seeded Swiss tandem of Simone Kuhn and Nadine Zumkehr, 21-15, 12-19, on Friday.
Ross, who missed seven serves and did not have an ace in Thursday's Group D triumph, had five aces in Friday's win. She had four service errors against the Swiss, who were eliminated.
Ross had 12 kills, seven digs and one block, while Kessy produced 14 kills, eight digs and one block.
In four matches thus far in the tournament, all victories, Ross, a first-time Olympian, has 58 kills in 94 attack opportunities (a .617 efficiency rating). She also has 10 aces, 33 digs and four blocks.

Camby Presser
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Wed, 07/23/08, 01:23am:

Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
Andrew Kamenetzky has a nice summary, with embedded sound bites, over at SportsHubLA:
Camby expressed numerous times his enthusiasm at the notion of teaming up with Davis, Chris Kaman, Gordon and Al Thorton, whom he described with a laugh as"very aggressive offensively"). There are issues, however, with the deal itself, a blatant salary dump which Camby received warning could be on the horizon. After playing six seasons in Denver, the veteran C/PF believes a little more respect was in order and hasn't gotten over that sting.
The chuckle over Thornton's game is a funny throwaway.
Kamenetzky reports, "Camby - seen by his new coach as more of a high post guy offensively - will likely man the power forward spot, the incumbent Kaman remaining at center." That sounds about right. I've been surprised by the number of suggestions we've heard that Kamen and Camby are redundant somehow. Watch both guys play and it's clear they occupy entirely different roles in the halfcourt -- both offensively and defensively.

A state championship was not enough to satisfy four standout runners from Canton High School's girls outdoor track and field team.
Eight days after claiming the state Division II title in the 3,200-meter relay, Canton's Rebecca DelRossi, Gemma DelRossi, Laura Pierce and Maria Ricalton won a national championship.
The quartet finished first in the girls four-mile relay at the New Balance Nationals in Greensboro, N.C., Sunday, completing the race in 20 minutes, 19.84 seconds.
Canton was nearly 10 seconds ahead of the second-place team from Carmel, Ind., which finished in 20:28.96.
What made the championship more impressive is, according to a tweet from MileSplit NY, the Golden Bears were not in the fast heat of the race and were actually seeded last in the slow heat.
The closest team to Canton in the slow heat was Tolland, Conn., which finished eighth overall in 20:41.13.
On June 7, the quartet won the state Division II title in the Syracuse area, setting a Section 10 record of 9:08.51 to defeat second-place Bronxville (9:13.51) by nearly five seconds. Canton came close to winning the Federation title as well, leading Division I's Corning until halfway through the final lap of the race. Corning finished in 9:04.51.
All four runners in the national and state championship relays have each excelled on the individual level as well, and all three of the seniors will compete in NCAA Division I next season.
Pierce, a senior from Lisbon High School who runs for Canton as part of a merger agreement, won a state Division II title in the 3,000 run as a junior and finished second in the event this season. She will compete next year for the University of Virginia.
Rebecca DelRossi, a senior, earned an individual medal at the state meet, finishing third in the Division II 800 run. She will run for Villanova next season. Gemma DelRossi, Rebecca's twin, was a two-time state medalist in the 800, finishing fifth this season. She will compete for the University of Vermont in the fall.
Ricalton, the only junior in the group, will likely draw some NCAA Division I recruiting interest next season.

The word "pistol" is often synonymous with the word "handgun". Some handgun experts make a technical distinction that views pistols as a subset of handguns.
Sometimes in American usage, the term "pistol" refers to a handgun having one chamber integral with the barrel, making pistols distinct from the other main type of handgun, the revolver, which has a revolving cylinder containing multiple chambers.
But UK/Commonwealth usage often does not make this distinction. For example, the official designation of the Webley Mk VI was "Pistol, Revolver, Webley No. 1 Mk VI", and the designation "Pistol No. 2 Mk I" was used to refer to both the Enfield Revolver and the later Browning Hi-Power semi-automatic.
Handheld firearms were first made in China where gunpowder was first developed. They were hand cannons (although they were not necessarily fired from the hand, but rather at the end of a handle). By the 14th century, they existed in Europe as well. The first handheld firearms that might better be called "pistols" were made as early as the 15th century, but their creator is unknown.
By the 18th century, the term came to be used often to refer to handheld firearms. Practical revolver designs appeared in the 19th century, but it was not until the mid-twentieth century that the (sometimes-observed) differentiation in usage of the words "pistol" and "revolver" evolved among some speakers and the use of "handgun" became prevalent.
Single-shot pistols are the simplest possible form of pistols and are known to have existed in AD 1365. The earliest handguns were single-shot, muzzle-loading guns with ignition provided by inserting a smoldering match cord into a touch hole. As such, they were essentially nothing more than miniature cannons, small enough to be handheld.
Improvements followed in subsequent centuries, as various types of locks (ignition devices) were invented. In the matchlock, the separate match cord was affixed to a spring-loaded pivot which could be tripped by a trigger. In the wheellock, a mechanism analogous to that used in today's cigarette lighters replaced the smoldering match cord.
In the 17th century, the flintlock, which strikes a flint against steel, appeared. (The flintlock, amazingly, remained state-of-the-art for some two hundred years.) In the 19th century, percussion caps were developed, followed shortly by modern integrated-primer cartridges, and hammers therefore traded their flint for firing pins.
An example of a single-shot pistol is the flare gun. Although not intended to be a weapon, many variants have been made (See Flare gun). One example is the Kampfpistole, or Sturmpistole in its final form. The weapon was designed to function as an anti-tank weapon.
Single-shot pistols continue to be manufactured today and are often used for target shooting. They are also sometimes used for handgun hunting of game, including big game. The most powerful handguns are capable of killing all game, including elephants.(wikipedia.org)

BROWNINGTON – Want to learn about timber framing? Then make your way to the Old Stone House this week where volunteers are building a barn.
The barn will resemble one that stood on the property just after the Old Stone House was built, until 1924 when the Orleans County Historical Society purchased the building.
Directors at the time thought the barn was unsightly.
Today's members don't know who purchased the wood or where it went. They do know they need a barn to house an exhibit that tells the history of Farming in Orleans County.
"We have a lot of antique farm equipment that we want to display," said Museum Director Peggy Day Gibson.
Jessie Mitchell, whose husband ran WS Mitchell Farm Supply Store in Newport for many years, left the museum $130,000. "Half of it was to go to the Old Stone House Farm Museum, which was exactly what we were starting to plan for, because we have so much equipment that we don't have room to display it."
Museum directors have been planning the barn since January. Allen Yale, who donated all of the wood from his Derby property, did much of the cutting and milling of the timbers. However, he did have some help from North Country Career Center students. In April, area elementary school students made the pegs that will secure the joints in the timber frames.
"We went around to elementary schools and talked to them about timber frames, old barns and Vermont architecture," said museum director Peggy Day Gibson. "We've been at this for a long time."
Many of volunteers working on the project are members of the Timber Framers Guild.
"We love doing this stuff," said Makio Maher, of the Green Mountain Fence Company. "We have a passion for wood and timber framing."
Flyod McDermitt from Ramburne, AL, came to Orleans County to learn about timber framing and hopes he can teach the skills to other family members, like his grandchildren.
Alan Peoples, who lives San Francisco, heard about the barn-raising while in Boston.
"I enjoy timber farming," he said. "It's a just a nice way of building."
Mary Bechard of Pittsfield, NH, is working with her husband, who is a member of the Timber Framers Guild. They plan on using what they learn to build a house.
"I'm learning a lot about peeling bark," she said.
The public is encouraged to attend the barn raising June 9. There will also be a barbecue and blue grass music.

5 U.S. Code § 8711 - Basic tables of premium rates
(a) A policy purchased under this chapter shall include, for the first policy year, basic tables of premium rates as follows:
(1) For group life insurance, a schedule of basic premium rates by age which the Office of Personnel Management determines to be consistent with the lowest schedule of basic premium rates generally charged for new group life insurance policies issued to large employers.
(2) For group accidental death and dismemberment insurance, a basic premium rate which the Office determines is consistent with the lowest rate generally charged for new group accidental death and dismemberment policies issued to large employers.
The schedule for group life insurance, except as otherwise provided by this section, shall be applied to the distribution by age of the amounts of group life insurance under the policy at its date of issuance to determine an average basic premium rate per $1,000 of life insurance.
(b) The policy shall provide that the basic premium rates determined for the first policy year continue for later policy years except as readjusted for a later year based on experience under the policy. The company issuing the policy may make the readjustment on a basis that the Office determines in advance of the policy year is consistent with the general practice of life insurance companies under policies of group life and group accidental death and dismemberment insurance issued to large employers.
(c) The policy shall provide that if the Office determines that ascertaining the actual age distribution of the amounts of group life insurance in force at the date of issue of the policy or at the end of the first or any later year of insurance thereunder would not be possible except at a disproportionately high expense, the Office may approve the determination of a tentative average group life premium rate, for the first or any later policy year, instead of using the actual age distribution. The Office, on request by the company issuing the policy, shall redetermine the tentative average premium rate during any policy year, if experience indicates that the assumptions made in determining that rate were incorrect for that year.
(d) The policy shall stipulate the maximum expense and risk charges for the first policy year. The Office shall determine these charges on a basis consistent with the general level of charges made by life insurance companies under policies of group life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance issued to large employers. The maximum charges continue from year to year, except that the Office may redetermine them for any year either by agreement with the company issuing the policy or on written notice given to the company at least 1 year before the beginning of the year for which the redetermined maximum charges will be effective.

University Park, PA (Sports Network) - The only team still without a win in Big Ten Conference play, the Penn State Nittany Lions will try once again to turn the trick as they play host to the 14th-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday afternoon.
Ohio State comes in sporting a 14-4 overall record, which includes a 4-2 league ledger, and the team is hoping to start building up a head of steam as it looks ahead to the final month or so of the regular season. The Buckeyes knocked off visiting Iowa on Tuesday night, 72-63, to improve to 11-1 at home, but they haven't been able to string together more than two wins in a row since mid-December. OSU is just 1-3 in true road games this season.
After alternating wins and losses over its first eight games, Penn State went on a four-game win streak to wrap up its non-conference schedule. Unfortunately, that positive run would come to an end as all seven of the team's Big Ten bouts leading up to this contest have ended in defeat. The Nittany Lions were most recently in action three days ago at former No. 1 Indiana, and as expected the Hoosiers proved to be the superior team in what wound up as a 72-49 final. PSU is 7-5 at home this season, and coach Pat Chamber's club has lost its last four at the Bryce Jordan Center.
Ohio State owns a 31-13 lead in the all-time series with Penn State, and has dominated the relationship of late by winning the last 17 meetings. The Nittany Lions' last win over the Buckeyes was a 64-47 decision at home back in 2004.
Ohio State is fortunate to have one of the favorites to win Big Ten Player of the Year honors on the roster, as Deshawn Thomas is averaging 20.5 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, while shooting 47.5 percent from the field overall, which includes a stellar 41.9 percent showing from 3-point range. How valuable is Thomas to just about everything coach Thad Matta has his team doing? Well, when you consider that the team's second-leading scorer, Lenzelle Smith, Jr., is netting only 10.2 ppg, it's painfully obvious that if Thomas were to miss any extended action the Buckeyes could be in serious trouble. As it is, the team is lighting up the scoreboard to the tune of 73.2 ppg, while holding the opposition to just 58.2 ppg. OSU is shooting 46 percent from the field, compared to 38 percent for its enemies, and the Buckeyes do a nice job of converting their long-range launches (.370). Not surprising, Thomas was high man for Ohio State in its recent win over Iowa, the junior forward going 6- of-11 from the floor in netting 16 points. He grabbed seven of the team's 34 rebounds, and he was joined in double figures by Smith, Jr. and Aaron Craft with 12 points apiece, and Evan Ravenel who chipped in 11 points off the bench.
Penn State too has just a pair of double-digit scorers, but even D.J. Newbill's 15.5 ppg and Jermaine Marshall's 15.0 ppg don't make up for the fact that those figures are twice as much as anyone else on the roster, thus meaning the team averages a low 61.5 ppg. That figure drops down to a mere 54.7 ppg against Big Ten foes. PSU has put forth more than its share of sub par shooting efforts this year, knocking down its field goals just 39 percent of the time, with its 3-point accuracy coming in at a paltry 27.8 percent. Defensively, the Lions permit a little more than 67 ppg, with foes shooting 37.5 percent from beyond the arc. PSU is +3.8 in rebounding margin, but is guilty of 13.3 turnovers per outing. Newbill hit for 18 points and pulled down seven rebounds, both of which led the team, but he was guilty of eight of its 18 turnovers as Penn State fell hard at Indiana earlier in the week. Marshall tacked on 12 points and six boards for the Lions, who made good on only 33.3 percent of their total shots, missing 13-of-15 3-point tries along the way. It certainly didn't help that the Hoosiers drained 11 treys. Both teams committed 18 turnovers on the night.
