Chapter V: The Happening
I awoke the next morning to birds chirping outside my bedroom window. I rolled over to an empty bed. Allie already up and about, taking care of the family; always the early riser.
As I rose and stretched my arms over my head, a feeling of bemusement fell over me. I was feeling completely refreshed.
I slipped on some pants and headed for the kitchen, pulling my shirt on over my head as I walked out the bedroom door.
The smell of bacon as I approached, suddenly made me realize that I was famished. My mouth filled with saliva. I swallowed. It quickly filled up again. I rounded the corner and spied Allie across the kitchen, the table the only thing separating us, madly working over a sizzling pan of delicious, pork backfat; cooking to the perfect crispness.
I crossed the room surefooted and deliberately, slowly making my way to where she stood; her back to me.
I crept quietly as a ninja, and just as I placed a firm hand on her right shoulder, my lips found her left ear and whispered, "Good morning, sweetheat."
Startled, she must have come two whole inches off the ground, coming down with a shriek. She probably even peed a little. I wouldn't have thought any less of her or looked down on her, if she had.
She turned to me sharply, obviously unamused. Emitting her evil death stare, deep into my eyes, seemingly staring beyond, far beyond, into the deepest depths of my soul.
She must of approved what she read, for she allowed a slow smile to radiate upon her still beautiful, early morning makeupless face. Her old, worn, pink bathrobe, not even stealing her beauty away.
She finally managed, still smiling, "K.W!, You scared me!" The last was accompanied with and annunciated by, a firm, open-handed slap to my chest.
"Sorry," I said; habitually. Then I leaned in and kissed her good morning. I walked over to my seat at the table and sat down.
I grabbed the Saturday morning paper that was on the table and began to read through it as I waited for breakfast to be finished cooking, then served.
Allie had a pretty good spread that morning. Bacon, scrambled eggs, fried taters and french toast. I was impressed.
I gorged until I was full, then ate a little more. Filled almost to the point of explosion, I'd be hurting and making an unscheduled pit stop this afternoon, for sure. But it was worth it.
The kids just sat and picked at their plates, per usual, already occupied with the Saturday morning activities they were planning to indulge in. Waiting to be released from the invisible grasp of mealtime by those four magic words: You may be excused.
When I finally felt able to move, I picked up the paper and headed for the bathroom to make my morning sacrifice to the porceline gods.
Unbeknownst to anyone, a foul happening was beginning miles below the surface of the small town of Winchester Gap. A happening so fierce, the force that it produced was felt for fifty miles.
To most it seemed a slight tremor; nothing to be regarded. You would have felt differently if at that exact instant, you happened to be standing in the middle of the empty town common of Winchester Gap; called Winchester Square (which ironicly, was a circular shape), by the original townsfolk, sometime, long ago; somewhere deep in the past. For far below the center of the town circle, a vibration erupted so strong and so deep, it simply split the earth; easy as a wishbone. Leaving a giant, gaping trench, stretching the circle. At the north end, the trench found the town gazebo; having no mercy. It was split into two shattered, leaning pieces, barely left standing.
The town common lay empty, for Winchester Gap is not without it's demons. Many plagues and abominations have happened within these town limits. These stories, I must save for another day; regretably.
The unsuspecting residents of Winchester Gap (and all of Eagle Rock County) are completely oblivious to the pain and horror, every last one of them, is about to sustain. Every resident, save for one.
For the happening isn't really a happening at all; it's an awakening. For something has awakened an unknown sleeping monster, who shall be hungry and upset after hibernating; laying dormant, trapped under miles of earth for so long.
Somewhere far down the cavernous crack, perhaps not far from the magma that inhabits the center of the earth, lies a monstrous, dark, shape; motionless. It then stirs and rolls to one side. Slowly, it opens one glaring red eye. If someone could have peered into that eye as it had opened, they would have witnessed the murderous passion, held deep, WITHIN that unflinching eye.
The beastial creature opened it's mouth and let a violent, ravenous bellow escape it's jowels; filled with menacing, needle-sharp teeth.
Something strange happened as I sat down and started reading the front page story--- Nine Murdered in Gruesome Massacre!
I heard first, then felt a vibration through the floor; mid-turd. The vibration then traveled through my feet, up my legs, around the bend of my ass, dropping the current kid I was working on, into the pool and splashinig cold toilet water up to my behind; making ME jump, this time. The tremor then travelled up the rest of my body and seemed to emanate out of the top of my head.
As gravity then returned my ass to the toilet seat, with a plop--- I suddenly was filled with an intense feeling of fear. An utterly horrible feeling that something terrible was knocking at a door, just waiting for someone to open it, humbly, and invite them in.
Not a particularly nice feeling to have; even worse to experience firsthand.
At that feeling, I involuntarily finished releasing my bowels, with a sickening splash. I finished up; and in between wipes, something caught my eye. The toilet paper in my hand was not only stained red, it was soaked through enough to just start dripping down my hand.
I stood up, dropping the paper into the toilet as I stared at the bowl; stained red with blood and seeming to be filled with gore.
Unable to control myself, I doubled over and heaved into the blood-stained bowl--- tasting that wonderful breakfast for the second time that morning. It wasn't so good the second time.

Israel's Rejection of Christ
1I #2 Cor. 1:23tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, 2#Rom. 10:1that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. 3For #Ex. 32:32I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh, 4who are Israelites, #Ex. 4:22(Rom. 8:15)to whom pertain the adoption, #1 Sam. 4:21the glory, #Gen. 17:2Deut. 29:14Luke 1:72Acts 3:25the covenants, #Deut. 4:13Ps. 147:19the giving of the law, #Heb. 9:16the service of God, and #(Acts 2:39|NoBook| 13:32Eph. 2:12)the promises; 5#Deut. 10:15of whom are the fathers and from #(Luke 1:34|NoBook| 3:23)whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, #Jer. 23:6who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.
Israel's Rejection and God's Purpose
6#Num. 23:19But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For #(John 8:39Gal. 6:16)they are not all Israel who are of Israel, 7#(John 8:33Gal. 4:23)nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, #Gen. 21:12Heb. 11:18"In Isaac your seed shall be called." 8That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but #Gal. 4:28the children of the promise are counted as the seed. 9For this is the word of promise: #Gen. 18:1014Heb. 11:11"At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son."
10And not only this, but when #Gen. 25:21Rebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac 11(for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of #(Rom. 4:17|NoBook| 8:28)Him who calls), 12it was said to her, #Gen. 25:23"The older shall serve the younger." 13As it is written, #Mal. 1:23"Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated."
Israel's Rejection and God's Justice
14What shall we say then? #Deut. 32:4Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! 15For He says to Moses, #Ex. 33:19"I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion." 16So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. 17For #Gal. 3:8the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, #Ex. 9:16"For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth." 18Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He #Ex. 4:21Deut. 2:30Josh. 11:20John 12:40Rom. 11:725hardens.
19You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For #2 Chr. 20:6Job 9:12Dan. 4:35who has resisted His will?" 20But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? #Is. 29:16Jer. 18:6Rom. 9:222 Tim. 2:20Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?" 21Does not the #Prov. 16:4potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make #2 Tim. 2:20one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?
22What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering #(1 Thess. 5:9)the vessels of wrath #Prov. 16:4(1 Pet. 2:8)prepared for destruction, 23and that He might make known #(Col. 1:27)the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had #(Rom. 8:28–30)prepared beforehand for glory, 24even us whom He #(Rom. 8:28)called, #Is. 42:6|NoBook| 49:6Luke 2:32Rom. 3:29not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
25As He says also in Hosea:
#Hos. 2:231 Pet. 2:10"I will call them My people, who were not My people,
And her beloved, who was not beloved."
26"And#Hos. 1:10 it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them,
'You are not My people,'
There they shall be called sons of the living God."
27Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel:
#Is. 10:22"Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea,
#Rom. 11:5The remnant will be saved.
28For He will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness,
#Is. 10:23|NoBook| 28:22Because the Lord will make a short work upon the earth."
29And as Isaiah said before:
#Is. 1:9"Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed,
#Deut. 29:23Is. 13:19Jer. 49:18Jer 50:40Amos 4:11We would have become like Sodom,
And we would have been made like Gomorrah."
Present Condition of Israel
30What shall we say then? #Rom. 4:11That Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have attained to righteousness, #Rom. 1:17Ro 3:21Ro 10:6(Gal. 2:16Ro 3:24Phil. 3:9)Heb. 11:7even the righteousness of faith; 31but Israel, #(Rom. 10:2–4)pursuing the law of righteousness, #(Gal. 5:4)has not attained to the law of righteousness. 32Why? Because they did not seek it by faith, but as it were, by the works of the law. For #(Luke 2:341 Cor. 1:23)they stumbled at that stumbling stone. 33As it is written:
#(Ps. 118:22)Is. 8:14|NoBook| 28:16(Matt. 21:421 Pet. 2:6–8)"Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense,
And #Rom. 5:5Ro 10:11whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."

I do accept some of the responsibility for this obviously.. I think what the mystery boarder did was shameful, and above all shame XOX stables for treating their boarders like that. ** By the way I emailed the XOX barn owner and told her that I wasn't trying to talk bad about her facility per say, and I could personally care less how she conducts her business (because if she wants to run off all her boarders to me that would be great!) among other things..**
I do post a lot about my boarders... as I've said in my previous posts that I come from a training background and I've only been a barn owner for 2 years so I frequently want other peoples opinions on how to handle certain situations. I do no however, talk about boarders or even other barn owners behind their backs. I might ask here first, but I always go to them myself and address the situation. Not to mention, if I talk about someone good or bad, I have no problem saying it to their face. When I was full I have sent people to XOX not knowing much about their facility. If someone ask me about another facility or person I will give my honest opinion which usually includes something good and something bad.
With my newsletters, I do like to introduce people and other boarders have said they like it as well.. But I guess you can't please everyone. I don't always include the other barns but I don't usually say whether or no it's good or bad circumstances. I have one boarder who came from a multi-million dollar state of the art facility to my place and introduced her as such in a light hearted manner. I jokingly asked her why she would want to come to my dump for? So I'm not above admitting what my facilities strengths and weaknesses are.

COMMISSIONER JESSICA ROSENWORCELRe:
Closed Captioning of Video Programming, CG Docket No. 05-231; Telecommunications for the
Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Inc. Petition for Rulemaking, PRM11CG.
Over the next several years, television will change more than over the last several decades. The
way we watch will change—when we watch, where we watch, and how we watch. Families huddling
together in one room basking in the glow of a single screen will give way to gatherings with many screens
and multiple programs. I know. It is already happening with my family, in my home.
But as opportunities to view video expand, old problems can linger. Today we address one of
those problems. We address closed captioning.
It has been more than a decade and a half since the Commission adopted its first rules governing
the provision of television closed captioning. These rules, put in place in the aftermath of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996, sought to make widespread access to technology that facilitates
television viewing by the deaf and hard of hearing. Over time, however, captioning quality was uneven
and our enforcement was limited. So a decade ago a group of advocates representing individuals who are
deaf or hard of hearing filed a petition for rulemaking and asked us to fix these problems.
That is what we do, at long last, today. Our new rules put in place captioning standards for
accuracy, synchronicity, program completeness, and placement. We establish best practices for video
programmers and captioners. We update policies involving live programming and Electronic Newsroom
Technique. And we seek comment on a range of issues to further enhance accessibility and improve our
procedural rules.
It has taken time, but we are finally making good on the promise that television programming
should be understandable to the non-hearing person as it is to the person who can to hear. Our actions
will improve television accessibility for the estimated 36 million Americans who are deaf or have hearing
loss—and the 40 million Americans over the age of 65 who experience varying degrees of hearing loss at
some point in their lives.
Going forward, I believe we also have other promises to keep. Today we address the closed
captioning problems that plagued us in the past. But we also must address the way we will watch going
forward. Television viewing is changing fast, our policies must keep pace.
Three years ago, Congress passed the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act.
Among other things, this law directed the Commission to require closed captioning of IP-delivered video
programming that is also available on television. That means programming that is aired on television and
later available online also comes with closed captioning. We made good on this promise for full-length
programming, but we fell short for television video clips. I think this is something we need to fix.
Because our accessibility policies must be about more than just how we watch now—they must be about
the future. And the future of viewing, for all of us, including the deaf and hard of hearing, will involve
more than gathering around the traditional television screen for programs of uniform 30- or 60-minute
length. It will involve many screens, with more television programming sliced and diced into smaller
increments, for later viewing online.
Still, today is an important milestone in our accessibility policies. We would not be crossing the
finish line but for the steadfast advocacy of so many Americans with disabilities. They had to wait too
long. But kudos to the Chairman for picking up that slack with speed and bringing us to where we need
to be. Thank you also to Karen Peltz Strauss and the efforts of the Disability Rights Office of the
Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau as well as the Media Bureau.
Finally, thank you to Claude Stout and Tai Jenson for joining us today. Claude is one the heroes
who walks among us, a tireless champion for access for all. And Tai, you are following in his footsteps—
at an early age. So thank you, too, for your presentation today.

U.S. Soccer president Sunil Galati made a rather unexpected announcement on Thursday that Bob Bradley has been relieved of his duties as head coach of the United States Men's National team.
"We want to thank Bob Bradley for his service and dedication to U.S. Soccer during the past five years," said Gulati in a statement. "During his time as the head coach of our Men's National Team he led the team to a number of accomplishments, but we felt now was the right time for us to make a change. It is always hard to make these decisions, especially when it involves someone we respect as much as Bob. We wish him the best in his future endeavors."
Bradley took the job after the United States' poor showing in the 2006 World Cup, and while he had some success with the team, his tenure was most memorable for the near-misses and for coming up just short. While Bradley was able to lead the men's team out of group play in the 2010 World Cup, a 2-1 loss to Ghana in the elimination round. Which served as a harsh reminder of when the U.S. team lost 2-1 to Ghana in the 2006 World Cup, a loss that kept the team from advancing to the knockout stage.
A loss that led to Bradley getting the job in the first place.
Bradley's latest teams struggled to advance in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup, which included a 1-0 loss to Panama, the first time the U.S. had lost in group play in the Gold Cup. The team would make it to the finals, but lose to Mexico 4-2 after taking a 2-0 lead.
No replacement has been named, but U.S. Soccer does have another announcement set for Friday, in which an interim manager may be announced.

Throughout my life I've never gotten over that sense of happy surprise at discovering someone else who loves Tolkien. I've seen his books on the shelves of famous playwrights and industrious farmers, successful businesspeople and cutting edge computer scientists. All of these men and women shared something in common: They loved the Hobbits more than anyone else in Tolkien's tales. That's because there's something about the character of the Hobbits (and not the characters called Hobbits) that makes them live inside us in a profound and lasting way. In my book The Wisdom of the Shire [Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Press, $22.99] I show how our lives can be better if some of the traits of the Hobbits become our own.
Here are 13 pieces of advice gleaned from the Shire:
Hobbits are quite possibly the most lovable foodies in all of literature. They eat six meals a day, as Tolkien tells us in the prologue to The Lord of the Rings. What was so appealing to the Hobbits about food from the Shire? It's the most basic kind of fare, after all—"taters," bacon, bread and butter, brown beer and, of course, mushrooms. But sometimes the simplest things cooked up the right way are the most delicious. Hobbit food is "Mushroom soup for the soul." When we dine on fast food, we might as well be pigging out on Orc grub. Hobbits, like Merry and Pippin, are constantly delighted and amazed by the things they eat and drink. A meal is a joyful and life-affirming event.
How snug is your Hobbit-hole? Hobbits live in cozy, handcrafted homes built into hillsides with well-stocked cupboards, comfy chairs and fireplaces. Bilbo draws strength from the memory of his beloved home when he's on his harrowing adventure with the Dwarves. Think of a place in your own life that possessed this peaceful quality. It could have been your beloved grandparents' living room, or a kindly music teacher's studio, or a best friend's apartment. What was it about that spot that made you feel at home? At some point your subconscious put down "roots" here—this Hobbit-hole of your heart—and you can take this feeling with you anywhere you go. Of course, just as Bilbo discovered at the end of The Hobbit, a nice snug room is indeed a lovely thing to come home to.
Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin truly are fighting for something invaluable during the War of the Ring—for friendship and the love of the Shire. And that's why they're so crushed when they return to the Shire and find the evil wizard Saruman has taken over their egalitarian country, destroyed and polluted Hobbiton, and imposed a list of despotic and ludicrous rules. Tolkien loathed the notion of "whiskered men with bombs" running the world. The Hobbits, his exemplars of pluck and courage, react to this dire situation with grit and determination, driving out the invaders and promptly setting to work cleaning up their ravaged land. Sometimes baffling rules created by flawed men need to be torn down and replaced with the standards of common sense, Hobbit-style.
Hobbits get as much sleep as possible, wherever and whenever they can, even if they have to bed down in the top of an Elven tree house, or nap in Sauron's barren wastes. Tolkien was fond of sleeping in, just like his character Bilbo (the master of Bag End almost misses going off on his adventure with the Dwarves because he snoozes so late). If people are denied sleep for long enough, they will actually go mad like poor Frodo-the-insomniac in Mordor. Instead of posting "I'm tired" on your Facebook page late tonight while simultaneously watching bad movies on Netflix, try going to bed early. Even the wizard Gandalf—an angelic Istari—has to catch some z's now and then. Good sleep makes you healthy, happy and less likely to provoke the wrath of a dragon, something the sleep deprived Bilbo learns the hard way.
It isn't the lure of treasure that makes Bilbo join Thorin and his company of Dwarves. The Hobbit simply wants to have an adventure! After Smaug is destroyed the Dwarves become bewitched by the gold in the dragon's hoard. Bilbo, disgusted by their boorish behavior, steals the fabulous Arkenstone—a beautiful and priceless jewel—and gives it to the Elvenking of the Woodland Realm to prevent a war with the Dwarves. Thorin is furious with Bilbo when he finds out and wants to kill him, but later, on his deathbed, he begs the Hobbit for forgiveness. He realizes that riches are meaningless without true friends by your side. Bilbo spends the rest of his life giving away his wealth—sharing it with his family and friends, for he's learned greed is a trait best left to avaricious dragons and gold-loving Sackville-Bagginses.
There's a deep interest amongst the Halflings concerning horticulture, and not just the propagation of pipe-weed. One of the most respected jobs in the Shire is that of the gardener, and that's because the Shire-folk celebrate life in a place where people are completely connected to the land. Try digging yourself a small garden bed and know how satisfying it feels to look at the newly turned earth ready to be planted. And just wait until you grow that perfect tomato. You'll understand why Sam keeps dreaming of his garden while in the wastelands of Mordor, or why Tolkien loved his own little garden so much. To grow your dinner from a seed planted and tended by your own hand is more wondrous than a wizard's magic.
The Hobbits live in a world that doesn't have cars or trains or ludicrous devices like the Segway. So the best way to get around the Shire is to walk. It's nothing for a Hobbit to walk fifteen miles or more in a day (they're blessed with giant feet, after all). Many of us have heard stories from our grandparents about how they had to hoof it several miles in each direction to get to and from school. Walking great distances used to be the norm in our society. In the recent study of Blue Zones around the world—pockets of civilization where people have the longest and healthiest lives—walking is one of the keys to longevity. Unless we all want to look like Fatty Bolger (the portliest inhabitant of the Shire) we need to start walking like a Hobbit.
Birthdays are very important to Hobbits. And they have a unique way of celebrating them. Instead of getting presents, they give them. Hobbits don't give big presents, mind you. Instead they re-gift little treasures called mathoms—things that are lying around their own cluttered Hobbit-holes. Wouldn't it be a nice change sometime, in this age of conspicuous consumerism, to throw yourself a Hobbit birthday? Of course no party would be complete without a Shire-style celebration. Invite your friends and family. Kick off your shoes. Unburden yourself with song. Eat and drink and dance on the tables. And leave the cleaning up until morning. You won't regret it.
One of the most revealing things about The Lord of the Rings is that it's an epic adventure with titanic sieges and demonic wraiths and evil sorcerers and armies of ghosts and mighty talking battle trees, and yet it ends simply and quietly with Sam Gamgee coming home to his little house where his wife and daughter are waiting for him. For Sam, happiness, without a doubt, is holding his daughter on his lap. And according to the appendices we learn that Sam and his wife Rosie produced a dozen more of the little tykes. (Now you know what was really going on in those Hobbit-holes!) Tolkien, by the way, was married to the love of his life, Edith, for over fifty years. They had four Hobbit children of their own.
Tolkien wrote that the Hobbits had "a close friendship with the earth." It's a beautiful way of saying they are as much a part of the Shire as the soil, stones, rivers and trees. The Shire-folk practiced sufficiency—taking only what they needed from the lands and forests. And their way of life was also sustainable—everything they had came from within the boundaries of their little country. In our own world nature is under assault. Mega-corporations are really just like the corrupted wizard Saruman who cuts down Fangorn Forest to fuel the twisted machines he's built inside the walls of Isengard. If we don't change our ways, our trees might finally get fed up and come after us like an army of enraged Ents.
The Shire was a kid-friendly place. Many Hobbits lived in extended families with lots of children running about. Frodo and his cousins could ramble across the countryside, exploring their world with a freedom that few kids in our world enjoy. In the summer the Hobbits weren't stuck inside all day playing video games or watching TV. They were out merrily working in the fields with their families, or contemplating the stars, learning about the trees and animals of the Shire, or experiencing the harmless joys of swiping some mushrooms from a farmer's woods (or even sneaking a peek at an uncle's mysterious journal). Bilbo raised Frodo all by himself after he came to live at Bag End and he might very well be the first single stay-at-home dad in the history of literature. And Frodo turned out all right... right?
There's a special camaraderie amongst the inhabitants of the Shire that goes beyond mere friendship. The Hobbits share a bond that will not be broken. They'll scuffle over a plate of sautéed mushrooms, of course, but they'll lay down their lives to save each other. Sam's platonic love for Frodo is even mightier than the Ring of Doom and gives him the strength to face seemingly insurmountable odds including single-handedly storming a tower full of maniacal Orcs, taking on a monstrous spider, and facing down one very scary little Ring-obsessed lunatic named Gollum. In the end perhaps the greatest threat to the evil of Sauron was not men at arms, but rather the bonds of love that kept the Hobbits from letting their friends fall into darkness and despair alone.
Frodo's greatest trait might just be his focus. Once he decides to accept the quest to destroy the Ring, he will not give up. He heads into Mordor understanding that he will never make it back home to his beloved Shire. His focus carries over to Sam who takes up the terrible burden of the Ring when Frodo is captured by Orcs. Sam and Frodo go through agonizing trials Sauron's dark realm, facing their worst fears. They overcome these challenges through sheer strength of will. We all have our own Rings of Doom to bear. The trick is to carry it for as long as you deem necessary, and when the time is right, cast it into the fire and be free of the burden. Watch it melt.

November 25, 2015
August 31st 5AM
Hurricane Frances is passing north of the Leeward Islands this morning as it heads west closer to the United States' East Coast.
As of five o'clock this morning, Frances had top sustained winds of 125 miles an hour and is expected to get stronger over the day.
It's centered about 125 miles north of Saint Martin in the Leeward Islands and is moving west near 15 miles an hour.
This morning, a hurricane watch was issued for the southeastern
Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos islands.
Forecasters say it's too soon to know whether Frances will hit the United States, because its at least five days from the shore. But forecasts put Frances anywhere from Cuba to off the Carolinas by the end of the week.
Frances was centered near 19.9 north latitude, 62.8 west longitude.

Bar Exams, Screw-Ups, Technology
Lat is here (and apparently partying like a rock star), so you'll have to put with me for the rest of the day.
The first order of the day is to announce that the New York Bar Exam results are up on the BOLE website.
We had anxious tipsters this morning who were quite worried (and can you blame them, really?) that there was another screw-up with the exam. The link was already there to go to the results page, but clicking on it produced a large, red-lettered "ERROR" message. It appears from later tips that we received, though, that the results were available promptly at 9:00 a.m. just as it was previously announced they would be.
Ok, so they managed to get the results up, but what's up with Laptopgate? Anybody got any updates?
Earlier: Update: What's Going on with the New York Bar Exam Results?
Update: In our haste to get the post up, we missed an update on Laptopgate in the BOLE press release. The relevant paragraph is after the jump. The quick and dirty version: about a third of the 47 exam takers who had essay answers that were not retrieved passed even assuming a 0 score on those essays; about another third failed even assuming a perfect score on the essays; and for the final third, they guessed based on performance on the rest of the exam.
Over 5,000 candidates chose to take the essay portion of the July 2007 New York State bar examination on a laptop computer. Some of these candidates experienced technical problems with the software provided by a vendor but almost all of the candidates' essay answers were eventually retrieved for grading. However, one or more of the essay answers for 47 candidates could not be recovered. Fifteen of these candidates passed the examination based on their performance on the balance of the examination, with no credit being given for any missing essay. Seventeen candidates failed the examination even when attributed a perfect score on any missing essays. The remaining 15 candidates were given estimated scores based upon their performance on the balance of the examination, and their probability of passing was computed. The Board worked with researchers at the National Conference of Bar Examiners to develop and apply this methodology, which resulted in nine of the remaining 15 candidates passing and six failing the examination. Candidates with missing essays who were unsuccessful on the examination have been notified by the Board as to how their results were determined.

|Polymorphic male color morphs visualized with steroids in monomorphic females: a tool for designing analysis of sex-limited trait inheritance.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22279063 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|In diploid animals, males and females share most of the genome (except sex-specific elements, such as sex chromosome genes), yet despite sharing the underlying genes that hard-wire traits, males and females may differ in their phenotypes when traits are controlled by proximate mechanisms, such as hormones. In color polymorphic species where coloration is only expressed in one sex, the design of studies of the inheritance of color and coevolved morph-specific traits (e.g. territorial vs sneaker strategies, skewed energetic investment in territorial defense vs sperm production, etc.) is compromised as the expression of morph-coding genes is only visualized in one sex. Here, we circumvented this problem by first characterizing oxidative stress traits in both sexes and then using testosterone implants in females to expose their otherwise 'silent' coloration. Males of our model species are highly territorial and exhibit morph-specific levels of aggression, whereas females are non-territorial and display very low levels of aggression. Interestingly, reactive oxygen species levels were found to be morph specific regardless of sex, despite considerable differences in lifestyle. Males and females did differ remarkably, however, in superoxide levels depending on whether they sported a colored throat bib or not, a trait also used in male sexual signaling. Females with throat bibs had significantly lower levels of superoxide than females without a bib, which was not the case for males.

Top Quality Case!,
February 6, 2012ByThis review is from: Gumdrop Cases Drop Tech Series Protective Case Cover for Kindle Fire, Black – With Screen Protection (Accessory)
Let me first say that I'm a big fan of the Otterbox cases for electronic devices. I've got a few of them and when I purchased the Amazon Fire, I thought that Otterbox would have a case for it and I would certainly purchase it. Case closed, end of story, ( yes, pun intended —- sorry ) or so I thought.
Well, as many of you probably know, Otterbox doesn't make a case for the Fire, nor, as far as I know, do they plan to. ( I wonder why )
So I checked out many of the cases available for the Amazon Fire both online and at local stores but couldn't find one that I was happy with.
Then I came across a post on the internet regarding cases and the Gumdrop line of cases was mentioned and given very good reviews. Plus, they had one for the Fire! I checked their website and sure enough, there it was.
It looked good. Sturdy, thick rubberized material around the edges and it came with a " plastic (?) " built in screen cover.
I ordered it and I'm glad I did.
The case is great! I have no fear of dropping the Kindle while it's protected by this case. It's extremely well made and the grooves around the entire case make holding it very secure. It won't slip out of your hand.
I'd certainly recommend this case to anyone looking for top-notch protection of their Kindle Fire. I would even go so far as to say that it's in the same league as the famous Otterbox line of cases.
I do feel however that the $50.00 price tag for the case is a little too high. Forty dollars or so would probably make this case
a better seller. Also, although the all black is nice, a small touch of color ( maybe a stripe around the border ) would add to it's beauty.
Again though, all in all, this case is a winner —-hands down! Michael K.
UPDATE — one hour later.
I just checked the Gumdrop website and see that they now offer the case in green or blue too.
It does however say that those colors are back-ordered until March 2012

Best case for 2 year old,
December 30, 2011Byjames –This review is from: Gumdrop Cases Drop Tech Series Protective Case Cover for Kindle Fire, Black – With Screen Protection (Accessory)
This case fits the Fire perfectly. It was exactly what I was looking for. A strong durable case for extra abuse from kids. I like the extra plastic layer that is replaceable for the screen. My 2 year old daughter can easily hold it due to the rubber molding on the sides and back.
Audio comes out fine, dont know if the rubber hinge for the USB charging will last long but we shall see
Only downside is the cost is a bit much $50.00. The $30.00 range would have been more comfortable based upon the total fire cost of $200 only reason it lost 1 star. The product is great.

Very well built, durable protection for Kindle Fire,
January 17, 2012This review is from: Gumdrop Cases Drop Tech Series Protective Case Cover for Kindle Fire, Black – With Screen Protection (Accessory)
If you want to protect your Kindle Fire, this is a must buy. I am going to list the pros and cons of the case and you decide if it is worth buying:
1)Great fit for Kindle Fire, perfect size
2)Silicone makes it easy to hold on to Kindle Fire
3)The built in screen protector protects it from getting scratched
4)The case is very well built, very durable
5)The case looks awesome on the Kindle Fire (wish they had more color)
1)The price; $50 dollars is a lot of money for average consumers to spend on a case
Overall, the pros outweigh the con. Yes, it may be an expensive case, but this case is worth every penny if you really want to protect your Kindle Fire. Thank you for reading my review and hope it helps you decide if its is indeed worth investing

|(Thio)urea Organocatalyst Equilibrium Acidities in DMSO.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22435999 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Bordwell's method of overlapping indicators was used to determine the pK(a) values of some of the most popular (thio)urea organocatalysts via UV spectrophotometric titrations. The incremental effect of CF(3) groups on acidic strength was also investigated. The pK(a)'s are in the range of 8.5-19.6. The results may lead to a better understanding of noncovalent organocatalysis and may aid in future catalyst development.

September milk prices fall 60 cents
MADISON - Wisconsin farmers received an average price of $20.20 per hundredweight (cwt.) for their milk in September 2013, down 60 cents from September 2012, according to the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service Agricultural Prices Report. The October 2013 price is expected to rise 10 cents to $20.30 per cwt.
The expected U.S. milk price for October is $20.30 per cwt., the same as Wisconsin's expected October price, but 20 cents higher than the September U.S. price. With the exception of Idaho, all of the major milk-producing states ...

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Kentucky forward Patrick Patterson will
test the NBA waters but will not hire an agent.
The 6-foot-9 sophomore said Wednesday he wants to get a feel for
his draft status before making a decision. By not signing with an
agent, Patterson could return to Kentucky. The draft is June 25.
Patterson averaged 17.9 points and 9.3 rebounds and was named to
the All-SEC X team. New Kentucky coach John Calipari said he
believes Patterson would benefit from another year in school but
encouraged him to go through the process.

Therefore, in the present study, influence of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on respiratory function and repetitive propulsive sprint performance in wheelchair basketball players was examined.
METHODS: Using a placebo-controlled design, 16 wheelchair athletes were divided to an experimental (IMT; n=8) or placebo (sham-IMT; n=8) group based on selective grouping criteria. 30 dynamic breaths were performed by the IMT group twice daily at a resistance equivalent to 50% maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP), and 60 slow breaths were performed by the sham-IMT group once a day at 15% MIP for a period of 6 weeks.
RESULTS: In the IMT group, both MIP and maximum expiratory pressure (17% and 23%, respectively; p< or =0.03) were improved. Similar improvements were noted for the sham-IMT group with 23% and 33% from baseline for MIP and maximum expiratory pressure, respectively (p< or =0.03). There were no significant changes in pulmonary function at rest and any of the performance parameters associated with the repetitive sprint test (sprint and recovery times, peak heart rate and peak blood lactate concentration). Reported experiences of using the IMT training device suggested "less breathlessness" and "less tightness in the chest during the training".
CONCLUSIONS: Although there was no improvement in sprint performance, an improved respiratory muscle function and quality of life were reported by participants in both the IMT and sham-IMT groups.

Trib reporter's Iraq stories win top Pa. press award

The American Dream
What does 'The Dream' really mean, and how has it changed in these rough economic times?
Tamara Draut, VP of policy and programs at Demos and Michael Ford, President of the Center for the American Dream will join the Daily Circuit on-air at 9a.
Michael Ford: "Few ideas are as central to American self-identity as the 'American dream.' Politicians invoke it, immigrants pursue it, and despite unremittingly negative economic news, citizens embrace it. But what is the American dream? We began regular study of how people define and perceive the dream three years ago, and have discovered many misunderstandings worth a second look."
Demos: The State of Young America
Ford: Understanding the dream is confusing sometimes because we think of material objectives. ... It is really much bigger than that. It is quite simply about creating a better life for ones family. ... It is about striving. .. The state of the economy and the state of the dream shouldn't be conflated.
The "American Dream" for me is to be able to be financially independent, be able to afford a decent house, and have a nice car. It's not having to worry about a financial catastrophe if one little thing goes wrong, and it's about being able to live relatively stress-free. I don't need a huge house, and spending a ton of money on a depreciating asset, luxo-barge, is not my idea of a dream.
To me, the American dream means you can work hard and make a better life for yourself and your family. My husband is from Poland, came to the USA as a college educated man but had to start out delivering newspapers. He never gave up and today, he is the President of a local Minnesota company. Unfortunately, I think that the concept of hard work is lost on the 20 somethings of today who feel that things should be handed to them on a silver platter.
@Michael Olson, MPR News I have worked for a large fortune 100 company in MN and have several friends in management there who deal with this generation everyday. We are all in our late 30's and we often discuss how many young people just out of college seem to be lacking the work ethic and the drive to put in the time and effort to climb up the ladder. In my experience, if you put in the effort, you will be rewarded.
As a young person the American Dream to me is the guarantee of an equal opportunity to succeed as compared to every other person. What this means is that hard work, dedication, and good ideas are going to be the reasons for success; instead of heritage, parent's wealth, race, etc, being determinant factors in success. This is not the case in America right now, not everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed. What this shows me is that at the moment the American Dream might exist as an idea inside our minds, a powerful idea certainly, but still just an idea. This idea will propel some to greatness but the American Dream is now largely a myth.
@Tonya Please don't belittle my generation. We work hard at what we do but a lot of us have chosen to focus our efforts on achieving happiness as opposed to financial gain. This does not mean we do not work hard it just means that we have a different definition of success and happiness. This is not necessarily a bad thing because a focus on something other than financial gain will be good for this country in the long run.
I would completely agree that the American Dream is not necessarily related to the Economy. The American dream since the Declaration of Independence has been the freedom to pursue one's own path to happiness. Thus, the Dream is different for every individual. For some, it is economic, for others social or religious or artistic or multi-generational. The key is that each individual decides for themselves. Unfortunately, NPR and the government don't seem to understand this and in the well-intentioned effort to make a better life for all wind up taking away much of the freedom that allows individuals to define the Dream for themselves.
A universal American Dream is a myth. Those who have no idea of the true nature of the global situation, in which most individuals exist, want the dream handed to them. Those who understand the advantages of even being a disadvantaged American want to fulfill their potential whatever it may be. There is no consensus.
Without a doubt, "The American Dream" is stongly rooted in the freedoms that this great country was founded on. The dream, to me at least, is the continued prosperity of the nation as a whole. Without that none of us would be able live well and laugh often.
The American Dream at heart is a protection of property and labor. In essence that striving will be rewarded and I agree that immigrants are the ultimate embodiment of this ideal and keep the dream fresh. However, the dream unevenly protects those with the most property by making Americans look inward to explain of their economic circumstances instead of at the economic system which they are apart of. Radical systemic reform is then never on the table, because failures are always individual.
I came to the US in 1997 and american dream definitely not about economy alone - it is about the freedom of being able to realize one's full potential which produces the economic benefit as a consequence. Lot of people who grew up here seem to lose sight of that as they focus on a lot of micro issues.
To me, the American dream is that if you work hard, you can have a decent life, not be rich, but be comfortable and have some security. The reality, to me, is that this is a bad joke. Even with a college degree, your opportunities are limited and being reduced almost daily. Unless you already have financial independence, you aren't going to get there at much higher a rate than by hitting the lottery. It's who you know and what you already have, not how hard you work. Even with a degree, you have no security, and can't get ahead. I never wanted to move away from where I was raised, but instead I've moved 5 times to 4 different states just to have a job. Oh, and I do have one of those "desirable" science and engineering degrees, not some fluff degree in underwater basketweaving. I hate to break it to all of you, but all that gets you is another place as an expendable asset at a company, limited opportunities to advance, and a very narrow pipelining of your abilities.
lot of things that might affect them in the short term like the wall street melt down in 2008 which in my view was a good thing for the long run as the end result will probably produce some sort of oversight over the workings of the traders and some sort of modification of how people do their business. So what I am saying that american dream is a work in progress and as long as it stays a work in progress based it will be alive.
I don't seem to hear a concrete definition of what the America Dream is but everyone, including your experts, keep referring to it as something that is definable and achievable. When you refer to the American Dream, I hear the common theme of stability in all parts of life which I think is a concept that people all over the world, not just America, would dream about.
The American dream is a myth designed to keep the masses in line. If you believe you can achieve anything, you are less likely to question the system that is run by millionaires and billionaires. They want you to believe you can be just like them so you don't question why the CEO makes 150+ times more than you do. When the richest 1% are our senators, congressmen and women, lobbyists, and presidents. Open your eyes and stop dreaming like a fool!
I would define it as a broad concept of thought that Americans use to motivate themselves into success. I could also say that it might be propaganda to get people to buy homes, cars, vacations, have families, etc., things that corporate America wants us to have so we spend spend spend, but do we need them or are we ready for them?

Tips on Creating a Library Assignment
The Library Assignment
- Give the assignment in writing.
- Written assignments cause less confusion for the students and give the students a foundation to work from.
Have a clear objective for the assignment.
- Explain why the assignment was given and what you expect the students to gain from completing the assignment.
Avoid scavenger hunts.
- Scavenger hunts are frustrating for students unfamiliar with discipline sources. A hunt contributes very little to students learning the process of research within a library.
Do the assignment yourself.
- Try to complete the assignment before handing it out to students. Trying the assignment can point out problems with sources and/or directions.
Advise the students of any required citation format.
- Telling the students will save confusion as to what format they should use and let them know they are required to cite their sources for the assignment.
Make sure the assignment requires the students to be in the library to use materials.
- Many sources of information can be accessed from outside the library. If you want students inside the library, be sure to use print or electronic sources which must be accessed within the library.
Using library terms can confuse students.
- Explain any library terminology (scholarly sources, peer-reviewed) and how it affects the assignment. Or schedule an instruction session with a librarian.
Make sure the students understand the difference between using the Internet and using web based sources.
- Many databases and government sources are accessed through the web. Students are often confused
between using the "Internet" and a web based database or legitimate government source. For more information, schedule an instruction session with a librarian.
Give students sufficient time to complete the assignment.
- Remember that students often have rudimentary research abilities and may lack basic library skills. They may require more time to complete the assignment due to their skill level.
Discuss the assignment in class.
- Discussing the assignment and the process for completing the assignment in class enforces the idea that you consider library and/or research skills an important factor in the student's education.
Using the Sources in the Library
- Try to incorporate a mixture of sources (DVD, print, electronic, VHS) for the students to work with.
- Providing the students with a mixture of sources exposes the students to the variety of information in various formats.
If students are using the same source for an assignment, consider placing the source at the Reserve Desk in the library.
Make sure the library has the resources listed on the assignment.
- Materials can become quickly outdated and replaced or switched to a different format. Make sure you have the correct citation and format listed for the assignment.
Consider using a variety of topics or a general topic (effect of illegal drugs on a person) rather than one topic.
- Giving students a variety of topics or a general topic (with many sub-topics) helps insure materials will be available for all students to complete the assignment.
Be clear on the number and type of resources required for the assignment.
- When students know the type and number of resources required, they encounter less frustration with the assignment. Be specific if you do not want them to use "popular magazines" or "Internet sources" but "scholarly sources" and "web based" databases or legitimate government sites are acceptable.
Think about updating the assignment.
- Often materials become outdated and are removed from the library or updated in different formats. Make sure the assignment reflects the current resources available to students. If you would like the assistance of a librarian to update the assignment, please contact the Reference/Instruction department at 237-2604.
Students Asking for Assistance in the Library
- Tell students to ask for assistance.
- Students may be unsure if they can ask for assistance with the assignment. Let them know asking a librarian on duty at the Reference Desk or making an appointment with the Liaison Librarian is ok.
The Librarian's Role
- If the assignment involves new research skills for the students, consider scheduling an instruction session at the library.
- Students may be new to the campus or the library. An instruction session can introduce them to basic and advanced research skills and resources in a variety of formats.
Give the Reference Desk a copy of the assignment.
- Providing the Reference Desk with a copy of the assignment provides the librarians with a "heads up" about the assignment and helps us to keep track of the resources needed for the assignment.
Have a librarian attend your class.
- A librarian can travel to your class to discuss the assignment and provide students with basic tips to help them start the assignment.
Ask a Librarian to View the Assignment.
- Asking a librarian to preview the assignment before handing it out to students can help insure the sources are available and in the formats required. Librarians may also be able to advise you of additional resources which contain the same information.
Librarians Can Help You Develop an Assignment.
- We can meet with you to assist in developing an assignment. We can help you choose print and electronic sources; identify key resources for the assignment and even pretest the assignment.
- Today's Hours: (more library hours)
- Cup & Chaucer Hours: (more café hours)

This website is for died-in-the-wool Dodger fans who realize that while statistics are important, they are just another tool and know that humans, not numbers, play the game of baseball. To that end, we do not live and die by sabermetrics or statistical analysis. However, we do view stats as an important evaluation tool – it's just not the ONLY tool.
Mark Timmons (aka/Mountainmover)
Mark has been a Dodger fan for over 40 years. Mark lives in Indianapolis, Indiana and is experienced in rooting for the Dodgers in hostile environments. He became a Dodger fan when he was nine. He sent letters to all the major league teams at the time (probably only about 20) and basically said: "I am 9 years old. I am your biggest fan. Send me stuff!"Believe it or not, all the teams did send him stuff, but the Dodgers sent him a whole box full of Dodger stuff: pennants, schedule,1962 Dodger team autographed baseball, yearbook and a nice letter.
He was hooked and has never stopped being THE DODGER FAN! When Mark was 19 years old, he tried out at a Cincinnati Reds Baseball Camp. As the possessor of a 97 MPH fastball, he felt like the bigs might be interested, but the combination of his lack of a breaking ball and the fact that his pitches had no movement, they simply said: "sorry kid!" Mark knows how hard it is to be a major league player, and understands that even the scrubs are so much better than most of us.
Ask him what happened to that baseball with the autographs of Koufax, Drysdale, Fairley, Roseboro, Alston and the rest of the 1962 Dodgers, and he might tell you that it was used in an "emergency" street baseball game. At any rate, that baseball is long gone. We wonder what it might be worth today? So, now you know that Mark is an idiot!
