By JEWELL BARKLEYPrice
Where's the outrage? Here we go again listening to the empty rhetoric of our politicians.
First, we hear that our government neglected to supply the necessary weapons and armaments to protect our soldiers in this "chosen" war. At the onset, they were bathing in contaminated water, eating spoiled food supplied by no-bid contractors. Our coalition friends are leaving Iraq claiming victory along with our President, while fighting in those areas ran amuck with death and destruction shared among our military and the innocent Iraqi people. Meanwhile the "forgotten" war in Afghanistan rages on. We have been fighting wars on the cheap, but are told over and over again that error has been corrected.
Not so. Now we find that once again we are letting our brave soldiers down. It seems that if they're lucky not to come home in the flag draped coffins hidden from the public eye, they come home to inadequate health care. This is no reflection on the care given at the Veterans Hospitals by the doctors, nurses and health care providers. They are working under adverse conditions; funding cuts, long hours and government restrictions. It is a damning reflection on how our government operates. Billions of dollars have been slashed from the Veterans Administration's budget. Yet, at the same time our politicians posture themselves with empty rhetoric (artificial eloquence), pat themselves on the back, wear the American flag in their lapel and assure us they support our troops.
This war is still being fought on the cheap. Slashing V.A. benefits, closing hospitals, placing injured soldiers in the conditions that were recently exposed at Walter Reed. There is no excuse that can justify such behavior and, of course, from the top officials down their rhetoric again is they did not know. Isn't it their job to know?
Veterans from past wars are finding it difficult to navigate the system for their medical care; waiting for appointments eight to 10 months; paying more for prescriptions and outpatient care; three or four months delay for surgical procedures. These are people who put their lives on the line for us, the American people. We must demand they be taken care of no matter what the cost.
Right now, politicians from both sides believe they have silenced the "whispers of discontent" by passing an ineffective non-binding resolution while at the same time ignoring the importance of responsible legislation. They disregard two border patrol patriots who have gone to jail for doing their job (a few Republicans have stood up for them but I notice no Democrats have come forward nor has the president) � could it be they are so interested in the North American Union (the joining of Mexico, United States, and Canada) they no longer think of the average American citizen?
At the same time, the Republicans seem that protecting the errors made by this administration is more important to their political futures than protecting the rights and needs of our troops. Both parties are certain that the best thing for each of them is to remain silent on important issues, don't ruffle any feathers, tell us what they think we want to hear, make changes to the system to their benefit in the recesses of a back room behind closed doors, serve their time as an elected official and resign to become a lobbyist and keep their large contributors happy by submitting to their demands.
Yes, we will more than likely re-elect them for we are anxious to hear something of substance so we listen to their rhetoric or sound bites. Perhaps they'll change, we say. Meanwhile, our country is crumbling from within. Job losses, high medical costs, college way beyond the means of many, low wages, high mortgage costs and very little savings, and last but not least our wide-open borders where anyone from any country with a terrorist background can enter our country with bombs, diseases, or any destructive weapons of choice while our politicians ignore our safety. A virtual fence; what will we think of next. Something not there is sure to protect us.
Mark my words, the "whispers of discontent" are raging loud and clear. Someday, soon I hope, our politicians will suddenly awaken to the loud roar of "outrage!"

Ever since our inception, uTest and our colleagues within Applause have always been a huge proponent of what we like to call 'In-the-Wild' Testing.
Our community is made up of 150,000+ testers in 200 countries around the world, the largest of its kind, and our testers have already stretched the definition of what testing 'in the wild' can be, by testing countless customers' apps on their own devices where they live, work and play.
That 'play' part of In-the-Wild testing is primed to take up a much larger slice of testers' time. While we have already seen a taste of it with emerging technologies gradually being introduced into the mobile app mix, there are four major players primed to go mainstream in just a couple of short years. That means you can expect testers to be spending less time pushing buttons testing on mobile apps in their homes and offices…and more time 'testing' by jogging and buying socks. Here's why.

Anonymous letter suggests HTC "Responsibility System" with unpaid overtime
This week there's a letter being sent to the heads at HTC from what reports claim is an anonymous defector from the company's R&D department, this letter claiming that "more than a thousand" engineers have been asked to work 12 hour days without overtime on a regular basis. This system has been claimed by the anonymous letter-writer to have been called a "Responsibility System" and is having workers put in "1000 hours" of overtime work without overtime pay. While the letter has not yet been entirely authenticated beyond what Taiwanese publication MyDrivers claim, such claims will likely prompt a response from HTC rather rapidly.

Title: The Only One Anthology: Sacrilege
Author: Susan Squires
Published in May 2003 by Love Spell
Genre: Paranormal
Related Books: Sacrament The Companion The Hunger The Burning One with The Night

She hates that she must leave, but Magda has "served her time" in Mirso for her misbehavior. She had been brought to the monastery by the tall dark lover who made her. There she was forced to stay because she was running wild. Julien Davinoff had tried to teach her, but She knew she was drunk on the power, the life, the blood, and it is the reason she spent the last two centuries in Mirso. She had truly embraced her atonement, but it was a long process, and it was also one she did not wish to repeat. She didn't want to leave, but Elder Rubius would not let her stay. She needed to go out and really live her lives, then, after she has spent a couple of lifetimes in the world, if she still felt the need, she could return. That was not what Magda wanted to hear from the Elder. She did not want to leave Brother Pietr and his serene strength for a strange new world. She craved Mirso's quiet, its solitude, and she really did fear the changes in the outside world. Alien and frightening images rose up when she contemplated her departure, and most of all, her possible loss of control, that which she worked so hard to attain.
Magda has her doubts as she leaves to meet Julien and his lady, Sarah Ashton, Lady Clevancy. They are the only ones she knows on the outside, and they have said they would watch over her, and care for her if needed. That is ok with Magda to a point, but she soon finds a bustling San Francisco too much for her senses, and begs to leave for a quieter place in which to live. Julien reluctantly agreed, and arranged the purchase of a delightful cottage in a quaint little town. She has her solitude, good but far neighbors, a way to make a living, and she is settling in quite nicely. Although she doesn't have a lot, she has more than she had before because now she has her freedom, her control, and she is finding that it is not so hard to maintain her training here in her new environment. She still misses mirso, and it's solitude, and the last thing she expects to show up at her new home is Pietr...
Rubius demanded that Magda leave Mirso, but her departure has thrown Pietr out of sync. Why this is, he has no idea. He can't put his finger on exactly what is wrong, but something is definitely not right. He is moody, and on edge, something he hasn't felt for a millenia or more. The cause might be the effects of Magda's reluctance to leave, but she went, so he should be fine, right? He hopes that life will soon get back to normal and these feelings he shouldn't have will leave. He has followed the training for centuries, purged himself of the need to feel, so he shouldn't be having feelings at all. It doesn't make sense to him because since he came to Mirso and studied, and took The Vow, he should be far beyond such turmoil. As he struggles with the problem, he sets in motion a series of events that will change his future.
Pietr always believed in Rubius, his thoughts, and his teachings. He firmly believed Rubius was right when he exiled Julien from Mirso Monastery forever. Mirso was a sanctuary from the world, a place of quiet and solitude where aspirants could come for relief from the world's pressures, the lust or just the unceasing need for blood. It was a hide-away, a remote escape, a place where one could learn to control and supress the Companion. The life was strict, harsh, and yet it was the only way according to the Elder. Now Pietr was wondering if Davinoff had it right, that there truly was another way, a better way, and a more natural way. He was beginning to wonder whether or not Magda was his way, and love was the answer as Julien claims still. Rubius said that Julien brought the seeds of dissent, the virus of discontent, and for that he was banished. Now Pietr seems to be afflicted as well, and yet, when he discovers Rubius' deceit, he must do what only he can...
From the hallowed halls of the Mirso Monastery, to the rush and tumble of the modern world, Susan once again brings us into her dark, edgy world where things are not always as they seem. The short, Sacrilege, is another truly wonderful trip into Squires imagination, and with it, you learn what became of Magda, and how she survived the seclusion she vowed to escape. This time around, Magda is not enjoying the prospect of freedom from the cold stone fortress that is Mirso. Instead, she wants to stay with Pietr, the tutor from whom she struggled against, and then finally with to learn the control she needed to master life in the outside world.
Sacrilege is a story of love denied, trust misplaced, and hope for new life. It is dark, and rides a fine edge where the feelings of Magda and Pietr are constantly bucking against one anther. The trick is to survive until the dawn comes and brings with it the knowledge that only the sunshine of friendship turned to love can illuminate. Journey to that understanding in Sacrilege with Magda and Pietr, and discover the truth that only they can know. Sacrilege can be found in the Dorchester Anthology The Only One and is kept in good company with stories by Christine Feehan, and Susan Grant. Sacrilege is a great read, and it should be on everyones keeper shelf!
Yours in good reading,

Get accurate color in difficult lighting with the patented ExpoDisc, the fast and easy digital white balance filter. Simply read and set white balance with the ExpoDisc in place before shooting and you'll reduce or eliminate the need for post-capture color adjustments.
Get the white balance solution that is quickly becoming the preferred method of achieving accurate color balance for professional photographers today.
Here is how it works:
Varying levels of colorcast typically occur in digital photography and require compensation as part of the process to create a photograph with good color fidelity.
Until now, photographers have had to rely on gray/white cards to solve this problem. The ExpoDisc is an easy to use custom white balance solution that eliminates the inconvenience and inconsistencies of other methods.
It is a neutral diffusion filter that gathers ambient light and passively transmits 18% of it through to your camera's light meter, effectively producing a "gray frame".
You then set a custom white balance using the "gray frame" that results in accurate color in most lighting conditions. Your camera essentially compensates for and neutralizes the colorcast it sees through the ExpoDisc.
The ExpoImaging ExpoDisc is commonly used for Color correction, Everyday, Home, Macro photography, Portraits, Sporting events, Studio, Travel and more.The ExpoImaging ExpoDisc is most used by customers who consider themselves to be a Casual photographer, Enthusiast, Photo enthusiast, Professional, Pro photographer, Semi-professional, Semi-pro photographer among others.The ExpoImaging ExpoDisc is popular because customers like the following qualities of the ExpoImaging ExpoDisc: Clear optics, Durable, Easy to use, Firm mount, Improves product function, Lightweight and Strong construction

The combination of conflict, large-scale population movements and poverty make Sudan one of the most complex political and economic environments in which the humanitarian community operates. Of paramount concern remain unrest and insecurity across the entire country, which has flared most alarmingly in Darfur.
With limited infrastructure, vast distances, perennial flooding and high insecurity on the road, access to beneficiaries through surface transport remains challenging. As a result, air transport is the only secure transport option for the humanitarian community. In 2013, the delivery of life-saving humanitarian assistance continued smoothly in Sudan as a result of the complementary role played by UNHAS. In the Darfur region, UNHAS established a reliable flight schedule that enabled flight connections to many remote destinations. With services to 40 regular destinations all over the country, 120 organizations comprised relied on UNHAS in 2013 to implement and monitor humanitarian activities in Sudan.

If you have a child with developmental expressive language disorder (DELD), he or she might have difficulty remembering vocabulary words or using complex sentences. A 5-year-old with DELD might speak in short, three-word sentences, for example. When you ask your young child a question, he or she might not be able to find the right words to answer you.
Unless combined with other learning disabilities, DELD is usually limited to expression and does not affect the ability to read, listen, or produce sounds. Expressive language disorder is fairly common, occurring in three to 10 percent of school-age children.
The Causes of DELD
The cause of DELD is poorly understood. It is usually not related to the child's level of intelligence. The condition may run in a family or be caused by a brain injury or malnutrition. Some language disorders are accompanied (and worsened) by other issues, such as autism and hearing impairment. If your child's central nervous system is damaged (a condition called aphasia), he or she may be more likely to develop a language disorder.
The Symptoms of DELD
The disorder may appear alone or with other language deficiencies. The symptoms are usually limited to vocabulary issues and faulty word memory. For example, your child may not be able to recall words he or she has just learned. The child's vocabulary may be below average in comparison with other children in the same age group. The child may not be able to form a long sentence and might omit words or use them in the wrong order. He or she might also confuse tenses, saying, "I jump" in place of "I jumped," for example.
Commonly, children with DELD will use filler sounds such as "uh" and "um" because they cannot think of how best to express themselves. Repetition of phrases and questions is also common; your child might repeat a portion of your question back to you while thinking about how to answer.
Receptive-Expressive Language Disorder
If your child exhibits the above symptoms and also has a hard time understanding what you are saying, he or she might have receptive-expressive language disorder (RELD). In that case, your child might also struggle to understand information, organize thoughts, and follow directions.
When to See Your Doctor
Some children's language skills are simply delayed, but will catch up to those of other children over time. In the case of DELD, however, your child might develop some language skills but not others. Here are some ways to tell if you should see a doctor about your child's language development:
- Your child has reached 15 months of age but is still speaking in two-word sentences.
- At 2 years old, your child's vocabulary is limited to fewer than 25 words.
- At age 3, your child often repeats your questions or does not speak in full sentences.
- At age 4, your child still regularly uses the wrong words in a sentence.
Your primary care doctor may recommend that you see a speech therapist, a neurologist, or a child development specialist. Your doctor will usually take down your medical history to determine if other people in your family have a language disorder or speech problems.
During a visit with a specialist, your child will undergo a standard test for expressive language disorder. Your child may also need a hearing test to rule out the possibility that hearing impairment is causing the language problem. Your child may also be tested for learning disabilities.
Treating Expressive Language Disorder
Language Therapy
In order to develop language skills, children must be able to see, hear, understand, and retain information. Speech therapy focuses on testing and strengthening these skills and on helping your child increase his or her vocabulary. A speech therapist can use word repetition, images, tailored reading materials, and other tools to help nurture your child's communication skills.
Children who have difficulty expressing themselves may feel frustrated and socially isolated. Your child might get into fights because he or she cannot find the right words during an argument. Counseling teaches children how to cope when they become frustrated by their communication struggles.
Recovering from DELD
The prognosis is best for children whose expressive language disorder is not combined with other conditions, such as hearing impairment, brain injury, or learning disabilities. Through language therapy, children with DELD can usually learn how express themselves fully. Counseling also helps children to adjust socially and avoid low self-esteem.

It was nice for the Cicero-North Syracuse girls lacrosse team, after an up-and-down start, to get a breather last Tuesday during a 15-3 victory over Rome Free Academy.
Ahead 11-2 by halftime, the Northstars saw 10 different players score goals. Caitlyn Hamilton led, scoring three times and adding an assist, while Tiffany Ryan and Kristi Thompson notched two goals apiece.
Seven others – Angelina Florczyk, Meghan Duffy, Miriam Ghabarou, Hanna Haven, Sarah Runfola, Megan Caveny, Jill Goettel and Samantha Tortora – got single goals, with Florczyk and Duffy each adding a pair of assists. Haven also had an assist.
Then the Northstars, reaching the .500 mark (4-4), made it back-to-back wins on Friday, pushing past Westhill 13-9, mostly due to another superb first half where its attack tore through the Warriors' defenses on its way to an 11-4 lead.
Ryan, with four goals, and Thompson, with three goals, again led the C-NS push, while Duffy had a career-best five assists. Hamilton and Caveny both scored twice, with Hamilton adding two assists. Sarah Bowles returned to form with a goal and two assists as Tortora also converted.
On the boys end, C-NS earned its second straight win last Monday, against the combined Syracuse East team (mix of Henninger and Nottingham players), dominating from the start in a 17-6 romp.
By the time the first quarter was done, C-NS enjoyed a 6-0 lead. After a brief East uprising in the second period, the Northstars quieted them in the second half, only allowing two goals in those last two periods.
Mike Fiorini led with four goals, with Scott Slater and Dylan Kennedy each getting three-goal hat tricks in support. Rob Spenard scored twice as Tyler Heldt managed a goal and three assists. Eric Sauer, Tom Koster and Matt O'Donnell chimed in with their own tallies.

Unveiled yesterday in NYC, HTC One has been confirmed to more than 185 carriers worldwide. The smartphone will be available for purchase beginning March, but that will also depend on the location.
Canadians will be happy to know that all three major carriers will offer the HTC One starting next month.
According to MobileSyrup, the Taiwanese handset maker has announced that its new Android flagship device will launch at TELUS, Bell, Rogers and Virgin Mobile.
Additional Canadian carriers might pick the HTC One later on, but for now, these four are the first to add it to their portfolios.
HTC One is supposed to be the first device that comes to market equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor inside.
This is the same CPU that powers the recently announced Optimus G Pro, though LG's top tier smartphone is likely to hit shelves a bit later.

Connecting ASEAN Leaders in Power Sector with U.S. Smart Grid Companies
HANOI, VIETNAM – Today, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) kicked off the U.S.-ASEAN Smart Grid Workshop in Hanoi, Vietnam, the second event of the U.S.-ASEAN Connectivity Cooperation Initiative. The Workshop is bringing together approximately 100 officials from private industry as well as power utilities and regulatory agencies from throughout the ASEAN region. The event is providing an opportunity for the participants to discuss lessons learned and international best practices, as well as interact with expert speakers from the U.S. power transmission and distribution sector.
Through this Workshop, USTDA aims to assist in the standardization of smart grid and transmission networks in the region, which in turn will aid in the implementation of a wide range of technological tools for improving energy efficiency. USTDA Director Leocadia I. Zak, noted that, "we see enormous benefits of cooperation with international partners in finding and utilizing economical and efficient tools to address the challenges associated with power distribution, transmission, and management."
USTDA has a long history of supporting the power transmission and distribution projects in the region which have resulted in the sale of U.S. goods and services. Recent program acitivities have supported: the Provincial Electricity Authority and the Metropolitan Electricity Authority of Thailand; the Cagayan Electric Power and Light Company, Inc. and Manila Electric Company of the Philippines; PT PLN of Indonesia; and Electricity Vietnam and the National Power Transmission Corporation of Vietnam (NPT). The two day Workshop will be followed by a reverse trade mission to the United States, where delegates will have the ability to visit organizations that are implementing smart grid programs, manufacturing related components, and offering consulting, design, and engineering services. The visit will allow the delegates to build upon the concepts discussed during the Workshop, by witnessing practical applications of smart grid technologies.
During the Workshop, USTDA Director Leocadia Zak announced USTDA's approval of a technical assistance grant to develop a new information technology (IT) and smart grid roadmap for NPT. The program will link a team of U.S.-based experts from Tangible International of Virginia with NPT to expand and modernize Vietnam's electrical grid. In addition to helping NPT develop the IT architecture for its smart grid implementation, the Tangible International team will assist NPT design a telecommunications system that will enable the power company to identify and react to time-senstive transmission situations on its large electric grid.
USTDA launched the U.S.-ASEAN Connectivity Cooperation Initiative in conjunction with the ASEAN-U.S. Leaders Meeting held in Indonesia in November 2011. Leveraging U.S. private sector resources and expertise, USTDA will work with U.S. companies and ASEAN partners to support activities such as reverse trade missions, feasibility studies, technical assistance and workshops that foster effective new partnerships between private sector and government entities to increase connectivity and investment in the energy, transportation, and information and communications technology (ICT) sectors. The Connectivity Initiative is designed to support ASEAN's goal of fostering greater connectivity to achieve an economically integrated ASEAN Community by 2015.

Swiss Guards release Christmas CD
Catholic World News - December 10, 2012
The Swiss Guards, in conjunction with harpist Daniela Lorenz, have released a CD, "Weihnachten mit der Schweizergarde" [Christmas with the Swiss Guard].
"Most of them are German Christmas songs, so they are well known in the German part of Europe, but they are just instrumentals, without singing, without lyrics," said one of the five Swiss Guards who joined in recording the CD.
The CD is available at iTunes and at several European online vendors.

US breast cancer drug decision 'marks start of death panels'
Posted By kurtnimmo On August 17, 2010 @ 12:44 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,Science & Technology | Comments Disabled
Nick Allen and Andrew Hough
August 17, 2010
A decision to rescind endorsement of the drug would reignite the highly charged debate over US health care reform and how much the state should spend on new and expensive treatments.
Avastin, the world's best selling cancer drug, is primarily used to treat colon cancer and was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2008 for use on women with breast cancer that has spread.
Fresh food that lasts from eFoods Direct (Ad)
It costs $8,000 (£5,000) a month and is given to about 17,500 women in the US a year. The drug was initially approved after a study found that, by preventing blood flow to tumours, it extended the amount of time until the disease worsened by more than five months. However, two new studies have shown that the drug may not even extend life by an extra month.

The FASTrack Approach
Foundations for Academic Success Track (FASTrack) is a program designed to help first-year students transition from high school to college in a supportive environment. Approximately 400 FASTrack students per year benefit from smaller and enhanced classes, individualized advising/mentoring, and a community of supportive peers. FASTrack students earn higher GPAs, go on academic probation less often, and return for the sophomore year at higher rates than their peers.
"What could be better than a program that welcomes, challenges, and supports student success? FASTrack's targeted approach turns first-year students into seniors."
—Dr. Randy L. Swing, Executive Director of the Association for Institutional Research.

Dancing With The Stars: Week 5 results
(S05E11) Tom opened the results show by noting that this week of Dancing With The Stars was meant to be sexy, but ended up being full of drama. I was disappointed that the footage of Marie fainting was shown again (and again and again). Nothing terrible happened to Marie, but does that justify playing the footage several times more? I thought it was insensitive. Tom added a teaser for the Jennifer Lopez performance (for which I was totally psyched), and warned viewers that "nothing can be taken for granted."
Gallery: Dancing With The Stars: Week 5
As usual, Monday's performances were summarized. Mark set out to entertain, but didn't impress the judges. Jane was thrilled to be compared to Edyta, who is only in her 20's. Cameron was pleased with the intense chemistry that he had with Edyta. Jennie joked that while she might not have Bruno's support, Len was on her side. Sabrina's hot and heavy Rumba earned her another ten. Helio had a setback, but tried to laugh off Len's dentist comment. Maks dorked out about getting to meet the Spice Girls. Marie's collapse was saved for last, and additional footage from during the commercial break was shown. Not cool. In an interview, Marie explained that she occasionally gets winded and passes out in response to stress. She was an amazingly good sport about all of it. I saw a promo for Entertainment Tonight, and they actually made her watch it again on-camera. Morbid much?
The leaderboard read as follows: Marie Osmond and Mark Cuban were tied for 7th, with 21 points; Helio Castroneves was in 6th place, with 23 points (his lowest score so far); Jennie Garth came in 5th, with 25; Cameron Mathison and Jane Seymour tied for 3rd, with 26 points; Sabrina Bryan was a close second, with 28 points; finally, Melanie Brown was in the lead (for the first time ever) with 29.
Len remarked that this season was "topsy-turvy," since the same couple had never performed the encore twice. Melanie and Maks' Samba was picked this week. This was one of the few instances this season where the highest-scoring couple was tapped for the encore. The couple's spicy Samba went off without a hitch.
For her first performance, Jennifer Lopez performed "Do It Well" from her new album, Brave. J-Lo was accompanied by several of her own back-up dancers. The routine featured mostly hip-hop moves, and it really got the crowd going. Baby bump watchers didn't get much luck; Lopez was draped in some sort of poncho-type outfit. She even got out on the dance floor and did some of her old fly girl moves.
After the musical number, the audience got to sound off on Week 5. Alfonso Ribeiro (can we please get him to do the Carlton Banks in Season 6?) and Heather Mills were both scared during Marie's fainting spell. Like a lot of the audience members, Heather thought it was a joke at first. Some audience members were underwhelmed by Helio's routine. Florence Henderson thought that Jennie was terrific, as did Tori Spelling. Tori made a good point at the end of the segment--if someone like Mel can wind up in the bottom two, it's anyone's game.
The first phase of the elimination round put Sabrina and Mark on the safe list, along with Melanie and Maksim. I was sure that Marie would be let off the hook first, after her scare on Monday night. Her absence from the safe group had me worried at first.
Backstage, Samantha discussed the fainting incident with Marie. Marie handled the questions well, taking time to thank her fans for the concerned e-mails. Samantha observed that Helio and Julianne's scores were declining, and wondered aloud if they were going in the wrong direction. Great investigative journalism there, Samantha. Helio joked that race car drivers only go to the left.
Next week's group routine will be choreographed by Christian Perry, who performed his own group number this week. The rock and roll performance ("Dance, Dance" by Fallout Boy) looked like an extreme, modern take on swing. It was astounding--those flips and lifts were really impressive.
Jennifer Lopez sang "Let's Get Loud" (from On the 6) for her second performance. She was joined by 8 of the show's professionals, including Alec, Derek, Julianne, Karina, Mark, Edyta, and Cheryl (I didn't catch who the fourth male was). This was easily my favorite musical performance of the season, and possibly all the seasons combined. The pros did an incredible job as well.
Speaking of the pros, the professional cast got to weigh in on the difficulties of choreographing routines each week. Julianne called the process life-consuming. Edyta said that she listens to the music at least 50 times before choreographing, and Maksim does the choreography on the fly with Mel during practices. Derek emphasized the importance of taking risks. Kym said that she choreographs to show off her partner's strengths and hide his weaknesses. Maks proudly mentioned that his choreography centers around the relationship between the man and the woman, as opposed to stunt moves.
In the second part of the elimination, Cameron and Edyta were declared safe. The camera cut to a sad-looking Marie.
After a forgettable set of backstage interviews, a segment about training and day jobs was shown. I actually liked this topic, since scheduling and priorities keep being mentioned this year. Everybody's holding down several responsibilities: Helio is racing, Mel is starting her Spice Girls tour, Sabrina is performing regularly, Marie has a new album, Cameron has his soap, Mark is managing his empire, Jane is painting and acting, and Jennie is raising three daughters. Cameron admits that if anyone slacks off now, they will be out of the competition soon. Each performer believes that they have an edge over the the other dancers.
Next, Jennie and Mark were singled out by the hosts. Jennie was put on the safe list after a long pause; Mark and Kym were in the bottom two. There was another cut to a worried Marie Osmond, which had me extra-worried. Following the break, Marie and Jonathan were finally declared safe. Shame on the show for keeping those two in suspense so long! Helio and Julianne were safe as well, which put Jane and Tony in the bottom two. Say what?
Len followed up Bruno's honesty last week by stating outright that he preferred Jane's class and elegance to Mark's entertainment factor. As many of you predicted, Mark and Kym were sent home. Mark admitted to having lost 30 pounds as a result of doing the show (kudos) and gave the cast, crew, and judges heartfelt thanks.
Now that Mark is gone, I'm seriously concerned for my favorite couples. Anyone could end up in the bottom two next week, and any of the remaining couples could make it to the finals. Sabrina is the only dancer who hasn't had a major setback so far. Everyone else has either been in the bottom two or had some significantly low scores. It's her competition to lose. Who do you think will dance their way into the finals?
Brett will be back next week for the couples and group dances. Until then, check out AOL's extensive Dancing With The Stars coverage, which includes photo galleries, a live chat (Mondays & Tuesdays, 7:30pm ET), and the chance to support your favorite couple by voting in AOL's poll!

|1342 (42.5%)
|Yes; Marie was fine--no harm done.
|583 (18.5%)
|No--it was tasteless.

Ko-Ko the Lord High Executioner in Gilbert and Sullivan's masterpiece The Mikado sings an amusingly sinister ditty in Act I that artfully describes many of our current policies, especially those dealing with terrorism. It begins like this:
"As some day it may happen that a victim must be found;
I've got a little list -- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed -- who never would be missed!"
Ko-Ko's patter is mirrored in our blinkered policies. Inevitably the prescribed remedy for every perceived threat is some form of interdiction. Additionally, these policies seem to take a page from supply side economics in that they deal with just one side of the equation. This strategy, while not without merit, tends to foreclose options and narrow choices. Let's look at how it has worked with a topic on everyone's mind: terrorism.
On Oct. 16, 2003, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld asked his closest aides the right question. "Are we capturing, killing, or deterring and dissuading more terrorists every day than the madrassas and radical clerics are recruiting, training, and deploying against us?"
Unfortunately, the answer that has resounded from the intervening years has been overwhelmingly negative. That by itself suggests that we may not be on the right track.
One measure of what is going on can be seen in the Pentagon's own figures on Iraq. The estimated number of insurgents has stayed constant for three years while the number reported killed or captured is more than double. The same status applies to terrorists around the world who are multiplying much more rapidly than we can eliminate them.
Moreover, during that span of time militant Shi'ite Islamists have strengthened their positions in Iran and Iraq; an obscure band of extremists in Lebanon, Hezbollah, has risen to near mythic status in the Muslim world; and in Afghanistan both the Taliban and the drug trade are resurgent.
In this country, unprecedented invasions of civil liberties have produced few tangible results. The airport security program has been exposed as flawed, but we are unwilling to spend the money needed to upgrade the quality of screeners or to buy the latest explosives detection technology. Other critical sites, such as ports, chemical plants, and power grids remain vulnerable. It has become clear that the funds required to provide even minimum security for our vast, open economy will be mind boggling, and futile without massive alterations to our accustomed way of life.
The recent arrest of 24 people alleged to be plotting the destruction of aircraft headed here from London is positive, but in the overall scheme of things is like removing sand from a beach with tweezers. While interdiction has captured our attention, relatively little top-level time, energy, or money has been devoted to the determination of why people become terrorists, and what conditions facilitate their recruitment, training, and deployment.
Since events have demonstrated that we cannot capture, kill, deter, or dissuade nearly as many terrorists as are being created, and that we know very little more about what makes terrorists tick or citizens condone them than we did before 9/11, maybe we should consider broadening our approach.
Even as we balefully mutter: "Why do they hate us?" we have a great deal more in-depth knowledge about militant fundamentalism than we may realize. A good place to begin our education would be The Fundamentalism Project completed in the late 1990s. A group of our most eminent scholars in the field published a five-volume study (plus a summary volume) that analyzed fundamentalism in religions and nations throughout the globe. And this study is but the tip of the factual iceberg.
Making decisions without building on this wealth of informed scholarship makes about as much sense as trying stem the flow of drugs into this country without addressing demand or constructing an energy program without considering conservation.
We can choose to prowl the streets like Ko-Ko, list in one hand and axe in the other, seeking out evildoers. My 4 1/2-year-old grandson who spends a portion of most days pretending to be Batman, Spiderman, or Superman in pursuit of "bad guys" might approve. However, others might prefer a more thoughtfully comprehensive strategy that promises greater long-term success.
"As some day it may happen" is no longer conjecture. "Some day" has arrived. We have yet to adjust.

Top 5 TVR Clips of the Week: Melissa McCarthy's Live Emmy Nom, Kathie Lee Throws a Wine Bottle & More! (VIDEO)
It was a wild week on the TV landscape. Vincent Pastore and Danielle Staub yelled at each other like 'Desperate Housewives.' Kathie Lee threw a wine bottle at a 'Today Show' crew-member. Melissa McCarthy found out about her first ever Emmy nomination on live TV. Bristol Palin kept talking about losing her virginity to Levi Johnston -- and thank god Don Rickles was there this time to provide color commentary. Jesse Tyler Ferguson proved that he might have a future as a reality show judge.
Onto the clips! As usual, watch them after the jump and vote for your favorite.
Danielle Staub and Vincent Pastore Fight Like 'Desperate Housewives' on 'Famous Food' (VIDEO)
The way they were going at it, if anyone tuned in and didn't recognize them, they'd just assume they were some bickering old married couple. The genesis of the spat was over what to do with the kitchen.
Staub said to gut it, while Pastore said they were planning to spend $200 toward cleaning it. Then Staub said he was interrupting her, and he should wait until she'd finished before he attacked.
Did Trump go off his rocker on last night's Celebrity Apprentice?
The cast may not include Omarosa and Piers, last season's winner, but Dennis Rodman, Clint Black, Annie Duke, Joan and Melissa Rivers stepped up to the drama plate.
Warning! If you haven't watched last night's episode yet, stop reading this post now and come back once you've watched it because I know you'll want some place to discuss the boardroom drama.
General Hospital snags a big cat
They're bringing in a new actor to the scene, and he carries major TV mob credentials. Vincent Pastore is joining General Hospital as Maximus Giambetti, father of Sonny's two main bodyguards, Max and Milo. Vinny is best known as Sal "Big Pussy" Bonpenserio on HBO's The Sopranos. On GH, Maximus comes to Port Charles to see his boys, under the false assumption that Max and Milo are running the syndicate in town.
Will Stephen Baldwin leave Celebrity Apprentice this Thursday? - VIDEO
Let's face it, Baldwin and the America's Got Talent judge have not been seeing eye to eye from the very beginning of the show. Even if they somewhat worked well together on the tasks, their business relationship was pretty much a hate-hate one or at least a "I'm tolerating you because I have to." But in light of the Vincent Pastore fiasco from last week, Baldwin has had enough and may give The Donald his resignation... or will he?
Celebrity Apprentice: Piers Vs. Vinnie - VIDEO
In short, during the task America's Got Talent's Piers Morgan, who was project manager for the men's team, sent The Sopranos' Vincent Pastore over the women's team to spy on them. Of course, it backfired: Vinnie, who did it willingly (see the first video after the jump), eventually admitted to the ladies that he was sent there to spy but that he now wanted to be a double agent; and, later on the episode, Vinnie and Piers had a major argument about the "rat project". In the boardroom, Vinnie revealed to Trump what had happened. This was followed by more argument between Piers and Vinnie, and comments from the women, the other men, Trump and his children.
Celebrity Apprentice cast announced
I didn't expect Tom Cruise or Julia Roberts or even Teri Hatcher to sign up for this, but since when is Omarosa a "celebrity?" She's known for...um...The Apprentice!
And now she's going to compete on NBC's Celebrity Apprentice along with Marilu Henner, Carol Alt, softball player Jennie Finch, and America's Got Talent judge Piers Morgan. I think they were either going to do Celebrity Apprentice on a late night informercial or a cable reality show.
To be fair, there are some good names here, including Vincent Pastore and Gene Simmons, but overall the cast really leaves me cold. Not that I'm a regular viewer of The Apprentice (the first season interesting, and I watched the Martha Stewart version, and then...), but I would have definitely tuned in to this if they had gotten some more interesting celebs. But what do I know. This will probably be a massive hit.
The Sopranos: Remember When
(S06E15) Last week's promos showed Paulie in what looked like a rough situation or two, most of which featured Tony's glare right on him. That all started after Paulie made a snide remark, or more specifically was talking about himself, when the guys were toasting to Johnny Sack's life after he had passed away from cancer. As it turned out, he was absolutely in the sights of Tony when it came to life and death. And in an episode when someone is having loose lips and putting the boss in a tough situation as the body of the person that he killed to "make his bones" more than two decades earlier was apparently being dug up by the feds, the focus on Paulie being a chatterbox about his entire life story was more than appropriate.
One of the cooler things we got to see this week was Vincent Pastore's mug, as he was hanging out in the kitchen in Paulie's dream, a dream that made him want to step up to the plate, and realize that he was on his boss' bad side. Whether or not Tony just couldn't do it when it came to whacking his friend and onetime mentor or that he realized he was making a rash decision wasn't quite clear. What did happen was that we got the do-si-do from Chase & Company, who had us flat-out staring at the Jersey Crew while the New York team was about to head in another direction.
Joe Pantoliano's panties get in a wad
The photo, taken by Annie Liebowitz, features the legendary characters who've been whacked over the years, including actors Drea de Matteo, Vincent Pastore, Annabella Sciorra, and Steve Buscemi. Pantoliano refused to appear in the photo, so Liebowitz improvised by having a headless mannequin hold one of the actual head molds used from the episode where Tony kills Ralphie and puts his head in a bowling bag.
Cliff Clavin replaces Big Pussy on Dancing with the Stars
Cliffie, on the other hand, is totally up to the challenge. Apparently ABC has been trying to recruit the former Cheers star for a while but he always had scheduling conflicts (probably voicing various characters for Pixar). He'll join the rest of the Stars this week with a bit of a disadvantage. By the time the competition airs, he'll only have three weeks of rehearsal while everyone else will have rehearsed for four weeks. His good-natured attitude will probably help him through the opening round elimination.
Ratzenberger's partner will be Edyta Sliwinska, who danced with Joey Lawrence last season. Dancing premieres on Monday, March 19th.
TV Squad Daily with Brigitte - VIDEO
Today on TV Squad Daily:
- Darnit. The AP's ban on publishing Paris Hilton news didn't last long.
- John Ratzenberger (best known as "Cliff" from Cheers) will replace Vincent Pastore on Dancing with the Stars.
- American Idol's new source of revenue is selling Happy Meals, ice cream, candy bars and potato chips to kids.
Big Pussy drops out of Dancing With the Stars
Vincent Pastore, the actor who played "Big Pussy" on The Sopranos, is adding some credibility to his character's name after announcing today that he is dropping out of the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars.
According to the actor, "Unable to put forth my best effort, I felt it appropriate to step aside and give someone else the opportunity."
My first question for you sir is ... AGAIN?!
Does anyone remember...
New lineup for Dancing with the Stars announced
This morning, ABC announced the new slate of celebrities that will be participating in this upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars, which starts on Monday, March 19.
Some of the rumored selections, like Ian Ziering of 90210, and Billy Ray Cyrus of Hanna Montana, and Paul McCartney's bitter one-legged ex, Heather Mills, were right on the money. The other participants? Well, how would you like to see Big Pussy cutting a rug? Thaaat's right, Vincent Pastore is on board. So is basketball great Clyde Drexler, Olympic gold medalist Apolo Anton Ohno, former Entertainment Tonight host Leeza Gibbons, former supermodel Paulina Porizkova, former *NSYNCer Joey Fatone, Miss USA 2004 Shandi Finnessey, and boxer Laila Ali (yes, she's Muhammad Ali's daughter).
The full press release is after the jump. And the full story and photos are on the Good Morning America web site.
You can take the actor out of the mob, but...
Vincent Pastore can't keep his cool

Testimonials from IL's Fast-Track Panama: Lifestyle & Opportunity Conference 2012
I enjoyed the opportunity to hear from and then talk to the people who have "been there and done that" by moving offshore themselves – Dan and Suzan and others. Also, the legal and tax presentations – maybe not the most exciting subject matter but extremely important information to factor into any decision.
— Sharri Speaker
Overall the speakers were excellent and the information presented by them was very knowledgeable. It really gave us confidence in knowing what to do and the right people to talk to in Panama.
— Edward Hill
Another outstanding job done by the staff of IL, speakers and event sponsors!
— Lynn Albert Burrill
I thought the overall conference was run very well, with an excellent group of speakers. The conference was well worth attending. Thanks for all the hard work that went into making it a success.
— Anon
I was exposed to the full range of information needed to make the decision to move to Panama. The speakers knew their stuff. I now have the materials and references I need.
–- Connie
The conference was incredible! It was my first IL conference but definitely won't be the last. The speakers were knowledgeable and very willing to share advice and experiences. I learned so much that I sometimes felt like my brain would explode if I tried to pack any more in!
-– Sherri Speaker
I enjoyed the conference and learned a lot. It was a great first step to figuring out where to go. Thanks!
— Beth Lauderdale
Lots of good info – gave me a good point of reference as to what to consider when evaluating if Panama could be a good fit for me.
— Elaine Schaefer
Across the board everyone was a great speaker and presenter, with a lot to cover in the time allowed. The visuals were great and the sound system well done. Having coffee into the afternoon and the snacks provided throughout the whole day were much appreciated. You took good care of us.
–- Anon
All were excellent. One complaint, if a complaint at all, make it longer!
— Dave Kochubka
Great content and information. Very realistic as to what to expect in Panama. I know some of the expats were very nervous but they gave great information and I really enjoyed hearing them all speak. PLEASE let each one know how much the information they gave was appreciated!

Turf Organics
I guess I'll start here...
What are your preferred turf organic fertilizers? Why do you use them? What is the benefit?
This year I started using Ringer Lawn Restore. It's pricey, but seems to work a little better than Milorganite.
Last year I was using Milorganite with some great success. Problem is its very slow release. The little iron in it is a nice boost and I achieved a deeper green with Milorganite.
Once section of our parish grounds was fertilized much later in the fall last year with Milorganite. This was by far the best turf on the grounds when the spring green-up came around.
Fertilizing mostly kentucky blue, some rye, and some fescue.
we use North Country Organics 8-1-9 greens grade and have had pretty good results with it. Cost is around $17 a 50 lb bag that covers up to 12k sq ft. Their website is norganics.com I believe.
I don't know what the application regulations are for your area, but any ground up seed, nut, or bean with any amount of protein in it is an organic fertilizer. My preference is for corn meal because it is available nearly everywhere and it's cheaper than dirt. Alfalfa meal or pellets is my second choice. At my feed store they sell 50 pound bags for $6.50. If I drive a little further I can get it for $5. If I drive to the corn belt, it becomes more like $5 for 100 pounds. These are retail prices for small numbers of bags. Similar materials may be cheaper in your area feed stores. Alternatives to corn and alfalfa are ground soy, milo, cottonseed, rice, canola, oat, wheat, rye, and coffee.
The application rates for all grain/nut/bean based protein fertilizers is 10-20 pounds per 1,000 square feet. So for an acre, you're talking about using 450 to 900 pounds of stuff. Many of you will be buying 1,000 pounds a week and getting discounts I could not dream of. But the cost (again, retail) is about $0.001/square foot - the same as retail for Scott's bags.
For the life of me I do not know how Milorganite works. As I'm sure you are aware, it is an incinerated biosolids product. How it can have any nutritional value after cooking at 1,000 degrees F I do not know. But the results are pretty amazing. A similar product from Houston, TX is called Hou-actinite.
Milorganite works by retention of certain tace minerals not found in most synthetic fertilizers. The thermophilic process the Milorganite goes through is to remove most harmful bacteria associated with the activated sewage sludge process.
What occurs in the soil is a repopulation of specific bacteria which converts the trace minerals found in Milorganite while increasing the bacterial count. This is why Milorginate is so slow to activate.
The thing to bear in mind with soil is that bacterial populations are extremely dynamic. Research has repeatedly shown that a completely sterile soil profile become populated very quickly.
So, when you are organic, you simply manage a different form or bacteria with the subsequent impact on soil chemistry and turf health.
That's the first explanation of Milorganite I've seen that makes some sort of sense.
So let me see if I understand...obviously the microbes, good and bad, are burned away in the 1,000 degree F incinerator. But the trace minerals remain. Then when the product is introduced to the soil, the soil microbes rush in to take up the trace materials and start the microbial digestion process.
Research has also shown that when a few key microbial species are killed off, the food chain gets so out of whack that the center of gravity tips toward the disease end of the microbial balance. I agree that a sterile soil does not remain sterile for longer than a few seconds. The concern is when it repopulates with microbes, are the beneficial microbes repopulating at the proper proportion with the pathogens so that it is safe to use? This is where compost comes in. Compost provides all the beneficials in the right proportion to totally suppress the pathogens.
Right idea, however, slightly off on soil processes. Pathogens are always present, there is simply no way to erradicate. What occurs is that the relative health of the turf is such that the turf is outgrowing the pathogens attacking it.
Most soil microbes are repopulated from the soil to turf interface. Simply put, most microbes are there, however, the populations are dependent upon many circumstances.
The real question, and one that has not been answered is, with organics, when is a saturation reached and the effects of such? Just because a chemical, derived to be considered organic, and safe, does not mean a harmful level cannot be reached.
Essentially, what is a safe limit?
I am interested empirically based answers.
It seems to me that if there is in fact a saturation point then the amount of fertilizer applied would have to be adjusted to compensate. Or is it at that saturation point when the turf has achieved a balance and does not require fertilization beyond leaving the clippings after mowing. This being the point in time where the turf can be truly organic and look after itself, besides the mowing of course.
I think of it like the forest...the leaves fall from the trees and decompose and feed the soil which feeds the trees...etc year after year.
Maybe i oversimplified it somewhat, but thats the way i see it.
The process is not as simple as outgrowing the pathogens. Pathogens are out competed for food, poisoned, consumed, partially consumed, and given diseases by the beneficial microbes and macrobes in the soil. Fortunately Mother Nature is in charge of the process. If there was a general problem with the process, we would all be dead or else we'd be standing a hundred miles deep in dinosaur poop and bones. My approach is to keep the pathogens and harmful insects outnumbered or diseased to the point where the beneficials easily out compete.
I'm not trying to knock your question. It's valid and worthy of its own thread, but this thread is about something else.
David Hall
San Antonio, TX
Yes, actually I do know what to tell him/her.
My clients frequently ask questions, a great deal of which are very specific.
I provide answers based upon desired outcomes including prices.
The reason I use more synthetics than organics is due to the level of maintenance I perform to achieve the desired result demanded by my clients.
I typically approach most problems culturally, correcting growing conditions, changing turf species to a better adapted variety, altering irrigation cycles, etc.
The reason for the synthetics is based upon a more rapid response than organics.
When I was building and maintaining golf courses, I utilized both organics and synthetics.
To date, my preferred organic fert is Earthworks, followed by Milorganite. I have used Ringer, Sustaine, Greensand, seaweed extract, kelp extract, have tried introducing microbes and macrobes for maintenance of both C3 and C4 turfgrasses.
There is a place for organics, I have and will continue to utilize them. Will organics ever replace synthetics? Now that is a good question for another thread.
application methods for organic
I am searching for suppliers and going over price lists for organic fertilizers. Here on Vancouver Island I am looking at about 30 dollars per 50 pound bag. I would love to be able to use feed store stuff and being made aware of the cost of the bulk materials makes me realize the incredible markup that the brand names have. I know I cannot apply corn meal due to the fact that it does not come in pellet form. I am paying 5 times the cost simply to have it in a form that makes it profitable for me to apply with my broadcast spreader. However, I was wondering if i could cut my expensive pelletized organic fert with alfalfa pellets. Would that be legit? Are the pellets the same size so it would spread and mix evenly. If I could find a way to lower my costs I could sell more organic fertilizer programs. Oh, and I want to sell lime but I need a good pH tester. Hanna the best?
ty everyone.
Life shrinks or expands according to ones courage.

BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Lexington Intl, manufacturer of the HairMax LaserComb, was one of just 14 leading manufacturing exporting companies nationwide to receive the President's "E" Award, which recognizes successes in world markets and subsequent contributions to the U.S. economy.
Presented to Lexington at the U.S. Commerce Building in Washington earlier this month by U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Gary Locke and Florida Senator George LeMieux, the President's "E" Award is the highest U.S. Government recognition any U.S. entity may receive for supporting export activity. Traditionally, the award is presented by the U.S. President at the White House, however, scheduling conflicts prevented that from occurring this year.
The President's "E" Award was created by President John F. Kennedy in 1961 to recognize persons, firms, or organizations that contribute significantly to increasing United States exports.
In presenting the awards, Secretary Locke said: "We're here today to honor the people, firms, and organizations that produce and promote U.S. goods and services that support American jobs, Trade has always been crucial to American prosperity. But, in today's difficult economic times, with other drivers of growth like consumer spending flagging, it's even more important for American industry to take advantage of every opportunity for export-driven growth."
Relating to Lexington Secretary Locke stated: "Of particular note is your successful outreach to the international medical community to help establish credibility for HairMax LaserComb and reduce trade barriers associated with medical devices.
Now in its 10th year of operation, Lexington exports the HairMax LaserComb to more than 125 countries around the world, accounting for about 35 percent of the company's annual sales. The HairMax LaserComb is the only laser phototherapy device cleared by the FDA to promote hair gro

Senoia Raceway
Jewel Series ready for debut after rainouts
Rain can be essential for clay tracks, but not in the quantities that Senoia Raceway has received already in 2013. Fans have been patiently waiting not only the first round of the Jewel Series to come up on the schedule, but racing to continue at the -mile bull ring following backto- back rainouts last Wednesday and Saturday.
If Mother Nature cooperates, the payoff will come tonight.
The track's popular Jewel Series double-feature format over three dates is set to make its debut this season after the opener was rained out in May.
All six of the track's weekly divisions will run a pair of feature races awarding season points and purse for each final running order. The points will also be accumulated to honor drivers earning the most points at only the Jewel Series events each season. The final night of this year's series will be on Sept. 7, while the track points titles will be finalized two weeks later on Sept. 21.
Drivers can cash in on the opportunity to double up on points tonight, with a host of drivers within striking distance of a top 10 standing. This weekend's double feature format could launch a few into the special awards group.
Tonight's schedule features a pair of features for the Jodeco Auto Sales Late Models, Newnan Bonding B Cadets, Summit Racing Equipment Hobby Stocks, Mini Stocks, Bombers and Modified Mini. Drivers will draw for position with the luck of the draw determining the starting positions for the features.
'If you draw a low number, you will start near the front of the first round of features and then in the back of the second round of features,' track promoter Tim Moses said. 'The lineups are strictly luck of the draw. That's why the fans like the double feature format so much, they will see the best drivers pass cars.'
Pit passes and grandstand ticket prices remain the same for the special double feature night and there are no entry fees. Grandstand tickets are $12 and $5 for children ages 6-12. Pit passes are $25 for adults and $12 for ages 3-12. Trackside parking is available on a first come, first serve basis and includes admission into the pit area.
The pit gates open at 5 p.m., and grandstands at 6 p.m. Hot laps will roll off at 7:30 p.m., and the first green flag flies at 8 p.m.
