Hello Pups
I am home at last and resting so my hip heals. No jumping or running around for me. I get carried up and down the steps. I am sure my fur sibs are jealous of all of the attention I am getting.. Thanks for the POP. Mandy
I went to the vet yesterday to have him examine my hip. I have been limping and mom was worried. He said my hip was dislocated and took some Xays to see what he could do to fix it. Well, today he operated on my hip to make it feel better. He said I did well, but they are keeping me in the hospital overnight.
My little nub is wagging away!
I've been selected Dog of the Day!
Thank you Dogster for picking me
And friends who sent wishes--Yippeeeeee!
And to my fursibs, "I am Number One"
So honor me 'til this day is done.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

An investigation has been launched inside the Houston Police Department over a sergeant's comments as his officers were setting out to patrol this year's Gay Pride Parade in the Montrose area. The high-ranking officer said the complaint alleges that the Special Operations sergeant was preparing to leave the police station when he was heard telling officers under his command that it was time to go for "f---ing up some fag--ts" and he said some "fags are going to jail tonight."

Ed Miliband's "Nightmare"
Our text of the week is Torsten Bell's email to Greg Beales and others, as published by the Mail on Sunday:
As an example of why we're having problems on EB messaging – this is his current three-part argument:
Cost of living
Recovery built to last
Economy works for working people
There has been a lot of comment about this, initially on the assumption that it had been leaked, which meant that people focused on the evidence of factional warfare. Bell is Ed Miliband's economic adviser; Beales is his head of strategy. Then it emerged that the email had become public because it had been copied in error to James Morris the Conservative MP instead of James Morris the Labour pollster.
That left most people, including Dan Hodges, scratching their heads trying to work out what it was about EB's (Ed Balls's) "messaging" that was a "nightmare":
The three main lines Balls was planning to use – highlighting the cost of living crisis, calling for a "recovery that's built to last" and an "economy that works for working people" – all seem pretty reasonable in the circumstances.
I have no inside knowledge on this, but I can guess from past history of Balls's way of working, on his own account and on Gordon Brown's, that Bell found the machine-gun delivery of familiar sound bites frustrating. Balls's style is assiduous, continuous, relentless – and rather boring for other party apparatchiks, and for journalists.
Balls's messaging tactic is the bludgeon. Keep saying the same things. Flatlining. It's hurting but it's not working. Tax cut for millionaires. But it is possible that there are those in the Labour machine who think that this approach lacks creativity, imagination and the human touch.
In other words: Nightmare.

Caring for Cancer Patients - NPR Interview of Cancer Nurse Dana Viviano
I just listened to this radio article on NPR a little while ago this morning. In it, cancer nurse Dana Viviano is interviewed by her daughter. Viviano says that the patients she cares for, all of them, teach her various things including celebrating the smallest things in life. She talks about universal constants, at least as far as humanity is concerned: love, hope, fear, acceptance of certain inevitable outcomes.
Her daughter Sarafina does an excellent job of interviewing her and asks some questions that, often, don't get asked by professional journalists. And even when they do, the questioning often seems insincere and distanced. So I found it amazing to hear such questioning from someone so young.
The link to this NPR piece is below. But, just to go off on a tangent, right after this article, I heard a report of a study or experiment that found that...people's tolerance for pain (I think, in this case, it was having one's hand placed in a container of hot water) increased after counting money.
Let me repeat that: they could take physical discomfort better after counting cash.
Is cash so magical? Well, I don't think the cash itself is. But it does remind me of other things, like recent stories suggesting that moderate alcohol consumption may actually lower mortality as much as 28 percent within a given time period (period of observation for study participants is what I mean), even eliminating for the effect of influencing factors such as impairment, disability, and socioeconomic status (which, incidentally, is something that's been reported time and time again for many years).
I think it all goes back to this: our mood and emotional state has a lot to do with our physical well-being. Is this because our immune systems are affected by how we "feel"? Hmmm. I have the opinion myself that what's going on in our heads, and hearts, is important for both our physical as well as our emotional and cognitive well-being.

Health Insurance Exchanges Biggest Help To Rural America
Wyoming News Network
A new report about the coming "health insurance exchanges," as part of federal health care reform, says the first thing everyone in Wyoming needs to know is - think of them as marketplaces, not exchanges. There could be confusion with the word "exchange" because a private company already uses that term for an insurance-selling portal in Wyoming. The Center for Rural Affairs study examined who is expected to benefit the most from the yet-to-come marketplaces.

My research is on authorship analysis, and is concerned mainly with smaller amounts of data. i.e. given 100 tweets for each of 10 authors, accurately predict which author wrote which document.
Obviously, there is much, much more data than this, so I have an instance where I have data I don't want to use in training.
When data is limited, it is often best to use cross-fold validation as a way of re-sampling datasets. Given the large amounts of data I have, I am thinking it may be better to just create an entirely new dataset for each iteration -- ensuring generalisability more than CV could. However I can't see any justification for that in the literature.
My question is, should I still use CV when I have other data I'm not using, or should I just create an entirely new dataset for each iteration of testing?
asked Feb 13 '12 at 18:29
Robert Layton
In the case where the amount of data is large enough that computation becomes a factor, a lot of general machine learning wisdom can be revisited to achieve better performance. The best guide I know to the tradeoffs in this setting is Leon Bottou's The Tradeoffs of Large-scale Learning.
In the online setting advocated by Bottou, the progressive validation loss--that is, the error your algorithm makes on a new data sample before updating on it, averaged over all recent enough samples--is an unbiased estimator of test-set loss (for obvious reasons) that is more stable than cross-validation loss.
You can find a justification for a simple train/test split (as is common in many benchmark datasets) in the test-set error bound, in John Langford's tutorial on practical prediction theory for classification, which as a bonus shows how to compute tight confidence intervals on the expected error (as long as you don't optimize on the test set).
What is standard in the neural networks and natural language processing communities (among others) is to use a three-way split of your data: a part is used for training, a second smaller part for hyperparameter tuning and model selection, and a third part is reserved for one last test the day before the paper deadline to make sure that you're definitely not overfitting.

Try changing the device to "/dev/psaux" and add this line:
Whenever I start up KDE, my mouse will start in the middle of my screen. Whenever I try any movement on the mouse, the pointer will shoot up to the top corner of the screen (either corner, it appears to be random) and then stays there, no matter how I am moving my mouse. It is just a normal MS PS/2 mouse...I am using Slack 8.0 with the 2.4.5 kernel. I just compiled the kernel myself for the first time last night, so was there something I forgot to include in the kernel compile, or is this something else? Here is the pointer section of my XF86Config:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "device" "/dev/mouse"
End Section
Try changing the device to "/dev/psaux" and add this line:
No such luck...both changed with no effect...still the same problem. This mouse works when I'm not in X (e.g. if I am using lynx or if I just move the mouse around from the CLI), so I think it has something to do with X or with my config file or that I forgot a parameter when I compiled the kernel, just don't know what...
thanks for the suggestion though
typically /dev/mouse is a link to the real device - can ya do a ls -l /dev/ | grep mouse and see if it is pointing to /dev/psaux

|Nunn Named Freshman All-American
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Wednesday, 06 June 2012 16:27
Appalachian State University pitcher Jamie Nunn (Winston-Salem, N.C./Mount Tabor) has been named to the 2012 Louisville Slugger freshman all-America team, Collegiate Baseball newspaper announced on Wednesday. Nunn is the second freshman all-American in Appalachian history, joining teammate Hector Crespo (Miami, Fla./Florida Christian), who
received the honor in 2010. Used as the Mountaineers' primary mid-week starting pitcher and a top option out of the bullpen on weekends, Nunn made 23 appearances with six starts as a true freshman. He was 5-2 with a 4.24 ERA, 45 strikeouts and only 16 walks in 46.2 innings and was a member of the Southern Conference's all-freshman team. The right-hander was especially impressive as a starter, going 3-0 with a 2.60 ERA in his six starts, highlighted by striking out eight and allowing just one unearned run over six innings in a 6-3 win at Duke on March 13. Nunn is one of 31 starting pitchers nationwide to earn freshman all-America recognition. He will pitch for the Thomasville Hi-Toms of the Coastal Plain League this summer before returning to ASU in the fall for his sophomore campaign.

[INFOGRAPHIC] How much do you need to save for college?
Posted: 2014-03-14
Congratulations! Youve made the smart decision to begin putting away money for your childs future education costs. Like many other parents, you believe that a college degree is important and want to do all that you can to help make it happen. But just how much do you actually need to save to achieve your goal? If college costs continue to rise at an average of 5% annually, in 18 years you could be paying around $237,000 for a 4-year degree from a public university ($464,000 for private school).
Of course, the actual amount will depend on a number of different factors. Will your child live on campus, or commute? If a car is needed, who will pay for the gas and maintenance? Is there a possibility that they will receive a scholarship? What are your feelings toward supplementing your savings with loans?
The type of savings vehicle you choose can also make a big difference. Stuffing money in your mattress may work for some, but we suggest considering tax favorable options like 529 plans or Coverdell Education Savings Accounts. In any case, the magic of compound interest will pay off for those who start to save early.
For more insight on what your total cost of college might be, take a look at our infographic below. We analyzed a wide range of data based on the actual expenses related to higher education and how American families are footing the bill.

Gonzales on HRET decision: 'I am vindicated'-A A +A
Thursday, February 20, 2014
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – "I respect the decision. But I am glad because it was moral vindication for me."
Thus, said former third district representative Aurelio Gonzales, Jr. on the decision of the House of Representatives Electoral Tribunal (HRET) which dismissed the election protest he filed against current Pampanga Third District Representative Oscar Rodriguez for lack of merit.
The HRET, in its decision, said that Gonzales "prayed to disqualify protestee (Rodriguez) from holding office as Representative of the Third District of Pampanga, and annul and set aside his proclamation as elected representative of the district, among others. There is, however, no prayer to proclaim protestant as the duly elected Representative thereof."
In its ruling, the Tribunal noted that "after a candidate has been proclaimed elected, his disqualification on grounds of vote buying, terrorism, overspending, and other election irregularities can only be sought in an election protest, this time for the purpose of annulling his election. The Tribunal spoke of annulment of election and not disqualification of elected candidate."
"It was apparently based on technicality," Gonzales told Sun.Star Pampanga.
He stressed that Rodriguez "does not deserve" the post he holds now.
"The decision said that my political rival does not deserve to occupy his position because he has betrayed public trust," said Gonzales, pointing to Paragraph 36 of the HRET Case No. 13-011 resolution, stating that "All told, Protestee failed to prove that the disbursements were made under the exceptions set forth under the law. Therefore, the issuance of checks and release of financial assistance fall within the ambit of vote buying as described in Section 262 of the Omnibus Election Code. Accordingly, Protestee should be held liable for his wrongdoings."
Gonzales protested Rodriguez's alleged vote buying, by issuing various city government checks amounting from P3,000 to P5,000 to scholars and other financial assistance beneficiaries a few days before the May polls.
"If Oca has any moral sense left in him, he should heed the decision and apologize to the people of the Third District," said Gonzales. (With JTD)

A couple from Andalusia, Alabama decided to honor The University of Alabama by naming their newborn baby 'Krimson Tyde.'
Summer and Steven Steele who, according to Daily Mail, are parents to two other boys, welcomed baby Krimson into the world on December 17, 2013.
When asked why they chose such a unique appellation, Summer told Alabama Media Group, "The reason we named him Krimson is that we are big Alabama fans and it is a very unique name and we loved it."
However, not everyone loves the name as much as they do.
Even though the Steeles aren't the first family to name their child after a sports team, they were well aware that the name was unique. Still, they did not expect to gain as much media attention as they have.
"I'm very shocked, I didn't think people would make a very big deal about it," Summer said.
In response to the people who took to social media in order to ridicule and chastise their parents for their name choice, Summer said, "To people speaking negatively about us naming him Krimson, it's not their child nor family member so if they have nothing nice to say they don't need to say nothing at all."

The purpose of this document is to describe the data and methods used to develop the Lewin Group Health Benefits Simulation Model (HBSM).
The Health Benefits Simulation Model is a micro-simulation model of the U.S. health care system. HBSM is a fully integrated platform for simulating policies ranging from narrowly defined Medicaid coverage expansions to broad-based reforms such as changes in the tax treatment of health benefits. The model is also designed to simulate the impact of numerous universal coverage proposals such as single-payer plans and employer mandates. The use of a single modeling system for these analyses helps assure that simulations of alternative proposals are executed with uniform and internally consistent methodologies.

Turkey's bid to lead the Arab world meets Israel head on
Posted By kurtnimmo On September 19, 2011 @ 12:29 pm In Old Infowars Posts Style,World at War | Comments Disabled
Patrick Cockburn
The Independent
September 19, 2011
The political world has turned upside down in the Middle East since the Arab Awakening erupted. The region has been convulsed by the most radical changes since the end of imperial occupation and the foundation of the state of Israel in 1948.
One significant development is becoming evident: many Arab countries may be more democratic in future, but they will be weaker in terms of state power and ability to secure their independence. This enfeeblement of the state is most obvious in Iraq, is under way in Libya and is now likely to happen in Syria.
This weakness – unlikely to be reversed for many years – ensures the growing influence of foreign powers. This was evident last week as the prime minister of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, received a rapturous reception in Cairo and David Cameron and Nicolas Sarkozy were lauded as heroes in Tripoli and Benghazi. No visiting Arab leader would be so applauded.
In several Arab states, political, sectarian and ethnic divisions, previously suppressed, are re-emerging. These differences once prevented a united opposition. Central to the success of the Arab Awakening movements in Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Syria is creation of anti-regime coalitions, bringing together liberals and conservatives, secular and religious, rich and poor, educated and uneducated. These alliances are fragile. Without the prospect of overthrowing hated dictators, they have little in common.

The toughest part of a race like the one for mayor is remembering that my opponent and I are still collegues, friends and members of the same community despite the pressures and anxieties a competitive race brings.
It's not the poking at each other's record or positions that bothers me, but its the back channel nastiness only made worse by the Internet. I chatted with Councilman Smith last night about it a bit.
It's all part of politics and the test for the candidates is their ability to deal with it all as temperment and judgement are key components of the job.
With three weeks to go till the election, there will be more tests for sure.

A Geographer is a specialized type of Scientist. Also known as: GIS Physical Scientist, Geographic Information Systems Physical Scientist, GIS Geographer, Geographic Information Systems Geographer, Physical Geographer.
A geographer is someone who studies the earth and its land, features, and inhabitants. They also examine phenomena such as political or cultural structures as they relate to geography. They study the physical or human geographic characteristics or both of a region, ranging in scale from local to global. Some do fieldwork, which may include travel to foreign countries or remote locations.
Would you make a good geographer? Sokanu's free assessment reveals how compatible you are with a career across 5 dimensions!Take the free career test
A geographer will typically do the following:
Geographers use several technologies in their work, such as GIS, remote sensing, and global positioning systems (GPS). Geographers use GIS to find relationships and trends in geographic data. GIS allows them to present data visually as maps, reports, and charts. For example, a geographer can overlay aerial or satellite images with GIS data, such as population density in a given region, and create computerized maps. They then use the results to advise governments, businesses, and the general public on a variety of issues, such as marketing strategies; planning homes, roads, and landfills; or disaster responses.
Geographers held about 1,600 jobs in 2010, the majority of which were in the federal government. Most others were employed in professional, scientific, and technical services; colleges, universities, and professional schools; and state and local government.
Many geographers work full time during regular business hours, and some must travel to do fieldwork. They often travel to the region they are studying, which sometimes includes foreign countries and remote locations, to gather information and data.
I've now entered the third and (hopefully) final year of my PhD and time is flying by...
A Geographer will use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Cartography to plot data relative to a physical location, and then develop a map or visual representation of the data, which can help people solve problems and make decisions.
What Are You Going to Do With a Degree in Geography?
Below is a sample of types of positions that Geography graduates have gone on to. Please note: this is not an exhaustive list, there are many careers available.
The five themes of geography are used in social studies and history lessons throughout the school year. You need to be familiar with each theme of geography, provide examples of each, and understand its importance.
Geography has changed from a "declarative" (or fact finding) discipline to an intellectual one dedicated to exploring spatial science.
Geography is the study of our world and the multiple human and natural forces that interact to create our dynamic planet.

Rio Mesa's Ramirez leads Masters meet qualifiers
One year later, Joseph Ramirez found redemption.
After what he termed a "horrible" performance in the CIF-SS Coastal Division wrestling championships in 2011, the Rio Mesa senior thrived with a second chance Saturday.
Ramirez polished off a 4-1 showing at 220 pounds to place fourth in the 2012 championships and earn a trip to next week's CIF-SS Masters.
"After what I've been through, this feels like first place," he said. "I had a horrible tournament last year. I didn't wrestle well it all. It taught me that I had a lot of work to do, and that's what I did all summer and through this season.
"I didn't want to let down all the people who believed in me — my family, my coaches, my teammates. This is a great feeling."
Though no local wrestlers won CIF-SS individual titles at the meet, Ramirez was one of seven Pacific View League athletes to place in the top five at the Coastal Division championships at Pacifica High on Saturday. The seven will wrestle in next week's Masters meet at Temecula High.
Also finishing third were Channel Islands' David Medina, at 182, and Oxnard's Matt Mutt, 170.
Taking fourth place was Rio Mesa's Aaron Largey, 152, and Kody Herman, 195; and Channel Islands' Javier Vasquez, 160.
Camarillo 145-pounder Trent Meline earned fifth place with an 8-6 victory over Michael Canan of St. John Bosco.
Ramirez lost his chance for a championship in the semifinals when he was pinned by top-seeded Deon Williams of Orange Lutheran at 5:27.
But he rallied with two more victories, including an 8-3 victory over Chris Fagalima of Western that cinched a Masters spot.
"You just have to keep pushing," he said. "I had to stay focused."
Ramirez wasn't the only area success story Saturday.
Herman missed out on a title in the Pacific View League championships two weeks ago, but saved his best for the CIF-SS finals.
He survived the grueling two-day event with single-minded focus.
"I tried not to think about wrestling until it was time to wrestling," he said. "I thought about other things and that allowed me to keep my mind on the competition when I needed it."
After losing by pin to Joe Arellano of Vista Murrieta, Herman secured his berth at the Masters with a 7-0 victory over Stephen Lyon of Western.
Six county wrestlers advanced to the round of four in the winner's bracket on Friday. All six lost in the semifinals on Saturday.
Largey was pinned by top-seeded Jorge Gutierrez at 5:59; Vasquez dropped a 3-1 decision to Bradley Christensen of Chaparral; and Mutt lost a 9-1 decision to Blake Fifer of Western.
Medina was pinned at 53 seconds by Jon Wixom of Chaparral.

Our mission is to advance excellence, ethics, professionalism, and leadership in dentistry.
The American College of Dentists (ACD) is the oldest major honorary organization for dentists. Its members have exemplified excellence through outstanding leadership and exceptional contributions to dentistry and society. In response to serious problems facing the profession, the American College of Dentists was founded August 20, 1920, by the then leaders of dentistry to elevate the standards of dentistry, to encourage graduate study, and to grant Fellowship to those who have done meritorious work. The American College of Dentists is nonprofit and apolitical, and has long been regarded as the "conscience of dentistry."
The College has played a vital role in positively shaping the profession. Early accomplishments include being the first organization to promote what we today call "continuing education," organizing and incorporating the American Association of Dental Editors, and essentially saving the Journal of Dental Research during the Depression. The College is currently involved in a wide range of activities, nationally and locally, to accomplish its mission. These efforts include ethics summits, online courses in dental ethics, the Professional Ethics Initiative, an entry level ethics course, online leadership courses, leadership symposia, a multimedia dental history resource, resource materials for dental schools, a variety of award programs, and more.
This is a Unique Opportunity to Help Both the College and Foundation!
Double the Impact of Your Gift!
An anonymous donor has pledged $1,000,000 to match all gifts made to the Foundation over the next twelve months. Your gift to the Foundation will be matched by an equal gift from the anonymous donor to the College, thus benefiting both organizations.
The development of a comprehensive report on ethics in dentistry is a primary focus of this campaign. This major report will follow the general model that William J. Gies used for his 1926 landmark work on dental education. It was described in our April issue of ACD News. The Board of Regents reviewed the actionable plan presented in San Antonio regarding the major report on ethics in dentistry. The plan was approved and the project is moving forward. It will take approximately three years to complete and will consume significant resources.
Why donate? We realize our members primarily give because they love the College, they believe in our mission, and they like what we're doing. We've worked hard to have projects and activities that help accomplish our mission. That said, our larger donors are deserving of special recognition. Five giving levels have been established and we hope this unique matching gift opportunity will stimulate your interest in giving in one of these categories. All donations are welcome! Please call our office if you would like to include the Foundation in your estate.
All Circle members will be invited to a special reception at our next Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. as well as to the President's Dinner. Silver Circle members will be invited to those events for the next three years, Gold Circle members for the next five years, and Platinum Circle members for the next ten years. President's Circle members will have a standing invitation to those events. All Circle members will be specially recognized at the meeting and in ACD News.
Members will soon be receiving a letter from Dr. Jerome B. Miller, President of the American College of Dentists, and Dr. Kenneth L. Kalkwarf, President of the American College of Dentists Foundation, also introducing this unique matching gift and inviting you to participate. A pledge form will be included with the letter. Your participation is very important! If you would like to make a donation now, please call the Executive Office at 301-977-3223 or e-mail the
. You can also visit the Members section of this website using the link above and make a donation directly to the Foundation.

Whether you have a pipe organ or an electonic organ, Ektralamp organ lights will help you see your music more clearly with less eye strain. The lights are equally valuable for church organs, teaching and practice organs, home organs, or stage and concert hall consoles.
Why overhead music lights?
Many organ consoles are equipped with lamps attached to or built into the music rack bottom ledge. While these lights provide illumination, they tend to shadow, glare, and leave the top of the music score in the dark.
A properly placed overhead Ektralamp illuminates the entire height and width of the score evenly with no glare or shadow. If you already have a bottom-mounted light, the Ektralamp overhead lamp will nicely supplement the lighting. If you don't have a bottom-mounted light, the Ektralamp will produce all the light you need. Why play in the dark any longer?

"You are the Universe becoming aware of itself." (Your new Desktop Wallpaper)
^ Your new Wallpaper.
"We are a way for the Cosmos to know itself." ~ Carl Sagan
But that's not enough! Here's Einstein, sounding like a Buddhist teacher, talking about self or ego:
"A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive."
~ Albert Einstein, 1954.

It makes me sad that it is taking so long for people to get these very simple concepts. :o(
Why is the universe not already aware of itself?
[…] exterior dimensions of reality—the biological evolution of natural species, the development of the cosmos from the Big Bang to the present, or the rapidly accelerating advancement of […]
This wallpaper has so much win in it that I could easily print it as an actual wallpaper for my room. Thoughts, anyone?

Amy Heckerling Rumored to Direct Vampire Romantic Comedy Vamps Starring Krysten Ritter
Vampire Rom-Com: Inspired or Tired?
Like us on Facebook
Amy Heckerling, the director responsible for Clueless, is attached to write and direct the story of "two young female vampires living the good life in New York until love enters the picture." I've always enjoyed Heckerling's work and am intrigued to see Ritter finally cast as a lead, but I'm wary of the premise; it sounds like it's just capitalizing on the recent craze. Plus, almost half of you said you were tired of vampire entertainment over the Summer.
At least this does have a unique angle by making the main vampires female for once, not to mention the much lighter tone it'll have. What do you think of this project — is it inspired, or just tired?

Reliving The Most Important Day of My Life
- Dedicated to iam_theeridan
I was younger, but not much. Thirteen. Thirteen years old. We were in my old house, but only for a few days. We couldn't risk staying for more than that. We would be easily tracked if we did. My father was in his room, working on a new spell he had been trying to perfect for a while. I was in the front room, playing the old, dusty piano that had always sat there.
"Oh, -" My fingers came to a stop for the umpteenth time that day as my father uttered a loud word who's meaning was unknown to me. I had heard him use it multiple times; usually when he was mad. I had never used it, at least not in front of him, because, for some reason, I had a feeling I shouldn't be saying it. I sighed and started playing again. This was how it always went.
"Eleanor!" I stopped again. He came stomping through the house. I knew what this was going to lead to. I braced myself. "Will you stop pounding around on that stupid thing?! I don't know how you even picked up such a useless skill!" He slammed his hand on the bass end of the piano, causing a harsh crash of notes. "That's all it is! Useless! Why can't you make yourself useful and focus on magic?!"
"I don't have a wand, father..."
There is was. The sharp slap I always got anytime he was displeased with me. But this one was harder than usual; so hard, in fact, that I fell off of the piano bench and onto my back on the floor.
"Don't smart off! I didn't smart off to my father, and you won't smart off to me!" He loomed over me.
"I wasn't!" I squeaked. He pulled his wand out of his robes and I flinched. I waited, expecting the worse, but... nothing came. I opened my eyes. He had it aimed at the piano.
"Confingo!" He yelled.
It hit it directly, causing splinters of wood and ivory keys to fly around the room. I sat up, crying. That piano was the only thing that gave me hope; a ray of sunlight in a world of darkness. But now...
"Stop that crying!" He slapped me again. "Now leave me alone! And be quiet! I have important things to do!" He turned around and went back into his room, oddly not bothering to slam the door behind him. I stood up and wiped my eyes.
He had blown up my piano. That was the only thing I loved and now... I hated my Father! He was mean to me! Always slapping me! Calling me useless! Maybe I could run away. I didn't know where I would go, but I could figure it out later. Anywhere would be better than with him. Or maybe he could just die. Yeah, that's it. He could just die. That's what I wanted; him to be dead.
Suddenly, a fierce head erupted from my father's room. A blazing glow flowed from the doorway. I heard my father scream, and then, all at once, everything stopped. There was a moment of silence and then my father spoke, very weakly.
I whimpered out of fear and very slowly walked into his room. The once while walls were charred black. In the middle of the room laid my father's body in similar condition. A trail of black ash connected them. He lifted his hand as much as he could manage.
"Closer..." I tiptoed to him and crouched down, tears flooding my eyes. His locked with mine. "Hold still." He instructed. I nodded and he lifted his wand, pointing it towards me. "Ava-" He started, then suddenly went limp. I leaned over him.
"Father?! Father?!" I cried out, be he didn't answer. I had gotten my wish. He was dead. But now I wished that I could take it back."

Video: Woman rescued after falling down ocean cliff in California
SANTA CRUZ, California (CBS SF) - The Santa Cruz Fire Department rescued a woman who fell from a cliff Friday evening east of Natural Bridges State Beach.
Firefighters responded to a report of a person who had fallen at West Cliff Drive and Merced Avenue at 7:42 p.m., according to Battalion Chief Mike Venezio.
They found a woman who had fallen on to rocks around 30 feet below the cliff while taking a walk near the edge. The tide was coming in and threatening to cover the rocks where she lay, Venezio said.
PHOTOS: Woman falls down ocean cliff in Calif.
Fire department rescue swimmers were able to stabilize the woman and place her in a basket in which she was raised back up to street level, Venezio said.
The woman was taken to a local hospital and then flown to a trauma center with multiple injuries.

'Life Unexpected' - 'Crisis Unaverted' Recap
And Cate's early attempt to whitewash her whole affair looked even more petty in wake of the serious drama Lux was going through with Tasha. The kid had a tough time this episode, and sadly, only Baze was really there for her in the end.
We had a lot going on this week -- lots of drama, some sweet moments and a lot of yelling. I'm a fan of yelling, so it felt like one of the stronger episodes of the series.
This was an episode in which very few people got away with their bad behavior. And if they did, it was only for a short time. In the first few episodes, it was Baze's irresponsible attitude that lead him to not having shared physical custody of Lux. Similarly, Cate's callous treatment of Ryan and her lashing out at Baze really came due in two key scenes.
The scene between Cate and Baze, where Baze refuses to be the "chump gorilla" and really lays into her showed Baze getting a back bone. Cate was left a bit astounded that someone would dare challenge her like that. Both actors did a nice job selling the scene, moving from annoyed to pissed in believable degrees.
Similarly, it was well past time for Ryan to man up and demand more from Cate's behavior. For us to really be able to respect the character, he had to leave Cate after her confession that she slept with Baze (twice). As much as I cringed watching Cate beg, she was clearly in the wrong here. I thought Ryan leaving was perfectly articulated as well -- she's done nothing but push him away and he's been patient for so long. Cheating was a deal-breaker. Also, props for Baze for being a stand-up dude and not being the one to tell Ryan. Baze may be a bit of an idiot, but he's not mean-spirited.
I was rooting hard for Lux to not cave to peer pressure and follow Tasha into the store to shoplift, and I'm glad she didn't. She's a good, strong kid. And, funny enough, Baze isn't even capable of resisting Jamie's pressure to stand up for Ryan. It's a nice parallel between Lux and Baze that reiterates a motif we've seen before -- often it's Lux who's more mature. We're also reminded that not everyone gets a happy ending. Tasha has been dealt a pretty rough hand. It's a reminder that the foster system isn't perfect, that moms can often be terrible people and life isn't fair. I do hope we see a happy ending for Tasha at some point though.
Despite the fact that Britt Roberston hasn't really nailed the fake crying, that last scene between Lux and Baze was very sweet. Baze is growing up and I love the fact that he tries so hard to do something for the sake of Lux's happiness. Cate's reaction, understandably, is to say no when Lux asks her. I didn't mind her saying no, I just mind the kind of cold way she treated Lux.
So, here's my big complaint/question to you guys ... why is the dynamic between Baze and Lux working so well, but the Cate/Lux relationship feels totally off? Is it the writing? Is it just that Cate always has to play bad cop? Or perhaps the chemistry between the actors? I can't really figure it out, but leave your thoughts in the comments please.

MASSENA - A Brasher Iron Works woman will be required to stay out of the Hotel Nadeau as part of her sentence for a a trespassing conviction.
Acting Massena Village Justice James M. Crandall fined Janelle E. Mossow (Charland), 25, of 110 Smith Road, Brasher Iron Works, $250 and a $125 for a trespassing conviction and was placed under a one-year conditonal discharge with stipulations she continue with a treatment program and stay out of the bar.
Village police had charged Mossowwith third-degree criminal trespass, resisting arrest and fourth-degree criminal mischief in the early morning hours of Sept. 2.
Mossow had reportedly been banned from Nadeaus earlier in the evening by a bar owner but returned to the bar at approximately 1:30 a.m.. She reportedly rejected several requests by bar employees and later police to leave Nadeaus after she returned to the bar and attempted to initiate a fight with a female bartender.
She then refused to place her hands in front of her to be handcuffed when she was being placed under arrest and started to pull away from the police officer.
While handcuffed and chained to the booking bench, Mossow reportedly used the cuffs to scratch the letter J in the bench.
In other recent court action before Judge Crandall:
■ Jordan P. Fregoe, 19, of 114 Woodlawn Ave., Massena, had an unlawful possession of marijuana case returned to the court calendar after he faild to complete the 20 hours of community service that was a stipulation of the adjournment in contemplation of dismissal.
He pleaded guilty to the violation and was fined $50 and a $125 surcharge.
■ Tasha L. Square, 27, of 1165 St. Regis Road, Hogansburg, was fined $100 and a $125 conviction for an unlawful possession of marijuana conviction and an $25 for operation of an uninspected motor vehicle.
Mr. Crandall had rejected the initial plea bargain offer that would have granted Square an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal. He noted the deposition from U.S. Customs and Border Protection had found 3.25 ounces of marijuana in her vehicle following a canine alert during a secondary inspection Sept. 14, 2011 at the U.S. port of entry.
She had initially been charged with fourth-degree criminal possession of marijuana. She was in possession of approximately 92 grams, which the court finds hard to believe was for personal use, the local justice said of his decision to reject the ACD offer.
■ Jennifer M. Gooshaw, 29, of 18 Morris St., Norfolk, was fined $300 and an $85 surcharge for speeding in a plea bargain agreement that satisfied a driving while ability impaired charge. She reportedly had a blood alcohol content of 0.07 percent when she was stopped for traveling 46 mph in a 30 mph zone on County Route 39 in the town of Louisville. The DWAI charge was reportedly dismissed due to the low blood alcohol content and legal issues with the case.
