Ebook readers: which one do I choose?Comment on this story
London - Christmas is coming and many retailers want one gift to top everyone's wish-list – an electronic reader.
A wave of these devices is being launched in a market where downloaded books are already starting to outsell printed ones.
For every 100 printed books sold by online shop Amazon this year, 114 were downloaded from its website to be read on an ebook. Ebook downloads make up 15 percent of all book sales.
But do you need one? And will it save you money?
The Kindle is the biggest seller in an increasingly competitive arena. Last week, consumer lobby group Which? awarded Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite 'best-buy' status, followed by the Sony Reader.
Other popular ebooks include the Nook by Barnes & Noble and the Kobo by WHSmith.
Miranda Moreno, a medical journalist from Battersea, south-west London, was given a Kindle for Christmas two years ago by her husband Nick. Miranda, 46, an avid reader, admits her heart sank when she ripped open the wrapping paper – but now claims that she could not survive without an ebook.
"I read the same amount of books and still prefer the appeal of a printed novel," she says. "But rather than go on holiday with a suitcase full of books, I can just take a handy reading device. It's also comfortable to read in bed."
Miranda is not impressed by the cost of some ebooks as online novels can be more expensive than even hardbacks sold at discount.
Miranda, who has three children, Joe, 16, Maddy, 14, and Kitty, nine, believes her purchase is more about convenience than saving money.
Buying a reader is straightforward. The devices connect to the internet through wi-fi, enabling you to download books at home, in cafes, or wherever you can obtain a connection. You then buy the content from an online bookshop, with the download taking place more or less instantaneously. If you use a Kindle, you can buy through your Amazon account.
Bookworms should be aware of the different formats on offer. The Kindle allows access only to Amazon purchases, for example, while Kobo, Nook and Sony use the ePub format.
Each format has its own online store stocking more than a million books with prices for specific books roughly the same. Apple users are encouraged to use its iBookstore, although a Kindle app available for iPhones and iPads means those with these devices can read Kindle books, too.
Peter Crawshaw, co-founder of online bookshop lovereading.com, says: "Each ebook provider pushes its own website for sales but readers should compare before taking the plunge – and shop around for the best download deals."
Outfits such as Lovereading can help with choosing book downloads – as well as provide book tasters for free – while the ebook gadgets are best compared online and tried out in High Street shops.
Crawshaw says: "Factors to consider include backlights that allow you to read in the dark as well as battery life.
"Some readers last more than a month between recharges – ideal if you're going on holiday. It should also be possible to enlarge text for easier reading. And some allow you to play music or audio books."
He believes the quality of ebooks is comparable between popular models and that with most offering enough capacity for at least 1,000 books, memory should not be a major concern.
If the ebook device is lost, readers should still be able to retrieve the book from the online shop. With a typical six-inch screen, pages are comparable to those of books so the decision about which ebook to buy might simply come down to how it feels in the hand. Dearer tablets offer greater internet access, colour screens and apps, but will not make the reading experience any better.
Crawshaw points to the new Kindle Fire HD, launched in October with a top-end model costing £159 (about R2 000). More than a book, it allows users to watch movies and surf the web. All this may be excessive for those merely wanting to curl up on the sofa with a good book.
Other recent arrivals include the £109 Kindle Paperwhite, the £109 Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight, the £79 Nook Simple Touch and the £119 Sony Reader PRS-T2.
Jim Martin, features editor of PC Advisor magazine, says: "As technology has improved, so has the quality of the ebooks. The screens are increasingly like paper on the best devices."
But he warns: "Don't be seduced by expensive tablets. They may offer extra facilities such as the internet, but the screens tend to glare like computers."
Once a book is downloaded, readers can dip in and out whenever they like, never needing a bookmark, and are not tied into any contracts. They can access dictionaries or mark passages at a click of a button.
Kindle allows books to be lent for up to 14 days at no extra charge. But not all books qualify for lending and those that do may be lent only once. - Mail On Sunday

"Leather pants add a hint of rock chic."
"The gilet remains the perfect trans-seasonal piece."
It is hard to believe it has been 25 years since the phenomenon that is Kate Moss burst onto the fashion scene. Since that fairy-tale moment, when the 14-year-old British beauty was spotted by Storm Models' Sarah Doukas in JFK Airport, we have been captivated by her every turn. Whether dancing with choreographer Michael Clark for Alexander McQueen, stepping out with Johnny Depp or sitting for Lucian Freud, she has always enthralled, seeming somehow both everyday yet totally out of this world.
Photographers and artists who have captured her image over the years say it is her strong sense of self that makes her the perfect subject. So on the eve of a landmark Christie's auction of Moss-inspired art, we invited artist Mat Collishaw to create a special
cover story with the supermodel.
We also look back at Moss' much admired style, take inspiration from her iconic looks, and talk to her long-time collaborators – from Charlotte Tilbury to Nick Knight – to discover the secrets of fashion's most enduring muse.

Cardiac catheterization is a medical procedure that cardiologists (heart specialists) use to evaluate heart function and diagnose cardiovascular conditions.
During cardiac catheterization, a long narrow tube called a catheter is inserted in an artery or vein in your groin, neck, or arm. This catheter is threaded through your blood vessel until it reaches your heart. A dye can be injected through the catheter to allow the doctor to look at the vessels and chambers of the heart with the use of a special x-ray machine. Once the catheter is in place, doctors can use it to run diagnostic tests.
Cardiac catheterization is performed in a hospital by a cardiologist and a team of doctors, nurses, and technicians.
Your doctor may ask you to undergo cardiac catheterization to diagnose a heart problem or to determine a potential cause of chest pain.
During the procedure, your doctor can:
Check with your doctor to see if you can eat or drink before the procedure. In most cases, you will not be able to have any food or drink starting at midnight the day of your procedure. Having food and liquid in your stomach during the procedure can increase your risk of complications, so you might have to reschedule if you weren't able to fast. Also, ask your doctor before taking any medications before the procedure.
Before the catheterization begins, you will be asked to undress and wear a hospital gown. You will lie on a bed, and a nurse will begin an intravenous (IV) line. The IV, which is usually placed in your arm or hand, will deliver medication and fluids to you before, during, and after the procedure.
A nurse may need to shave the hair from around the catheter insertion site. You may also receive an injection of anesthetic to help numb the area before a catheter is inserted.
The catheter is guided by a short, hollow, plastic cover called a sheath. Once a catheter is in place, your doctor will proceed with the tests they need to perform to diagnose your condition.
Depending on what they're looking for, they may perform:
Your doctor may perform an additional procedure if they discover a potentially life-threatening problem during the catheterization. Procedures include:
You will be sedated for the procedure, but you will remain alert enough to respond to instructions from doctors and nurses.
During the catheterization, you may be asked to:
This will help your healthcare team get a better image of your heart and arteries.
Cardiac catheterization can help your doctor diagnose and treat problems that might otherwise cause larger issues, such as a heart attack or stroke. You may be able to prevent a heart attack or stop a future stroke if your doctor is able to correct any problems discovered during the procedure.
Any procedure that involves your heart comes with a particular set of risks. However, cardiac catheterization is considered relatively low-risk, and very few people have any problems. The risks of complications, though rare, are higher if you have diabetes or kidney disease, or if you're 75 years or older.
The risks associated with catheterization include:
Cardiac catheterization is a very quick procedure, and usually lasts less than an hour. Even though it's performed rather quickly, you will still need several hours to recover.
Once the procedure is finished, you will be taken to a recovery room where you will rest while the sedative wears off. The catheter insertion site may be closed with a suture or a "plug" (material that works with your body to create a natural clot in the artery).
You will need to rest for several hours after the procedure to prevent serious bleeding and to allow the artery to heal completely. You will likely go home the same day. If you are already a patient in the hospital and receive a catheterization as part of your diagnosis phase or treatment, you will be brought back into your room to recover.
Longer stays are usually required if you have an additional procedure, such as angioplasty or ablation, during the catheterization.
Your doctor should be able to discuss the results of your catheterization soon after the procedure is completed. (Biopsy results may take a while.) Depending on the findings, your doctor might recommend future procedures.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - It took nearly three years to build. This weekend, Southland Christian Church will hold its first services in the space once occupied by Lexington Mall.
The new building is 200,000 square feet. It has lots of amenities including movie rooms, classrooms, theater rooms and even an area where children can play during services.
Pastor Chris Hahn tells us the rooms are all equipped with Bible themes children can understand.
"Very dramatic in how they teach and keep kids engaged. A lot of scripture memory songs, teaching, just a lot of fun in this room," Hahn says.
The main room, the sanctuary, is large enough to seat 2,000 people.
Between the Richmond Road location and Southland's other campuses, it is estimated the church will have 16,000 members.
Pastor Hahn shrugs off criticism over the size of the church.
"You know, people are going to say what they will," Hahn says. "It's kind of funny, some of the comments they say about us. We don't let the criticism kind of detour us or cause us to make different decisions. We are going to stay on task with what God calls us to do. Heaven's going to be filled with a lot of people."
The first service at the Richmond Road campus will be held at 5:30 p.m. Saturday.

Frontier Airlines is due to fly into CVG but will it leave just as quickly?
Low-cost airline pulls out of several cities
CINCINNATI - The Cincinnati area will soon be getting a new, low-cost flight provider in the form of Frontier Airlines; but the carrier's recent practices don't project an air of longevity.
While CVG gears up for service from Frontier on May 17, the airline cut service to Colorado Springs, according to USA Today .
The report states that decision mirrors other choices Frontier made in similar markets as it battles the competition.
USA Today reported that Frontier dropped Dayton for Cincinnati and Akron for Cleveland.
The airline dropped some cities altogether such as Louisville, Sacramento and Provo, Utah.
According to an Associated Press report, the airline was bought by Republic Airways Holdings, Inc. in 2009 after it was reorganized during bankruptcy proceedings.
The company's executives said they're trying to make the airline more competitive against other low-cost rivals.
Despite those concerns, CVG spokesman Jay Brock said the airport expects Frontier to be around for a long time.
Brock said Frontier's decision could mean more customers for CVG coming from Dayton, as there is a lot of traffic traded between the two airports.
The entry of Frontier into the local market doesn't mean that CVG isn't still shopping around. Brock said CVG is still talking with several other carriers and that as the economy improves more carriers are looking at the Cincinnati area with confidence.
Brock said the economic impact of the CVG to Denver service is projected to be $16 million per year.
Meanwhile, Republic is still trying to sell Frontier as it struggles to find long-lasting routes and hubs for the airline.
In February, Frontier announced that its flights and schedules would no longer be available on the discount travel site Expedia. Those flights would still be available on other travel websites.
The original USA Today report is available here http://www.usatoday.com/story/todayinthesky/2013/02/25/frontier-airlines-pulls-its-flights-off-expedia/1947109/.

More than three centuries later, Connecticut is the last state refusing to issue apology or posthumous pardons for those put to death during the time when laws based on the Bible held sway in America, Religion News Service writes:
… Read the rest
At age 82, Bernice Mable Graham Telian doubts she'll live long enough to see the name of her great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother and 10 others hanged in colonial Connecticut for witchcraft cleared.
Telian was researching her family tree when she discovered that her seventh grandmother, Mary Barnes of Farmington, Conn., was sent to the gallows at the site of the old State House in Hartford in 1663. "You won't find Mary's grave. She and all these people who were hanged were dumped in a hole. They wanted them to be forgotten," said Telian, a retired university administrator.
Connecticut was executing suspected witches some 40 years before the infamous (and better known) trials in Salem, Mass.

This series of blog posts is taken from a chapter I wrote for the book, To You and Your Children: Examining the Biblical Doctrine of Covenant Succession, Canon Press, © 2005.
Owning Our Responsibility
Despite all the comfort friends can give, when our children stumble or fall' we still ask ourselves questions such as "Why? What went wrong? What could I have done differently?" Some parents will be too hard on themselves, while others will find a way to shift the blame and excuse themselves of any responsibility. There is no shortage of well-intentioned fellow Christians who will assist in either errant direction. Some pile guilt on the parents while others exonerate them, in case they need the exemption for themselves later. And then there are those many well-meaning, sympathetic people who feel the pain of their suffering friends and simply want to give them comfort and relief. Nevertheless, if we are to grow in the midst of these trials, an honest assessment of the situation is called for—honest in light of the biblical standard.
So we must examine ourselves, not as an act of morbid introspection, but rather to provide to the greatest extent possible a true assessment of what went wrong. This is part of our own sanctification. God gives children to parents who in turn are given the authority and responsibility for raising those children to the glory of God (Mal. 3). The Bible teaches that children are both a reflection of their parents as well as a reflection on their parents. Wise and godly children are a joy to their parents and reflect honor upon them, which is exactly what children are commanded to do toward their parents. Foolish and ungodly children bring sadness and shame to their parents. This is the nature of the covenantal relationship between parents and their children. The sooner we own this responsibility and accept the covenantal connection, the sooner we can get on with recovering from our failures and repairing the broken relationships.
Keep in mind that the Bible teaches that our children bear the guilt for their own sins. They have their own sinful nature. Moreover, there are many other people and things that influence and tempt them. God makes it clear that they will be held personally accountable for their own sins (Ezek. 18). Nevertheless, parents are still responsible for what their children are taught, who and what influence them, and other forms of temptation they may be exposed to. This is exactly what God charges parents to do (Gen 18:19). Parental sins and the sins of the child are distinct but connected.
Before we can begin to fix what is broken, parents need to acknowledge their responsibility before God. We must stop making excuses for our children and ourselves and stop shifting the blame to others. The buck stops with us parents. There is a relief and even a joy that comes only by agreeing with God that these children are our responsibility. Now we can honestly evaluate, repent, confess, confront, forgive, and redeem.

Due to the football schedule our weekly high school picks for Tuesday night's Division I, III and IV semifinals will not appear in print as the games will be played before our papers go to print, yet the matchups were not available last week as our papers were published prior to the Thanksgiving contests. As a result, our picks for the semifinal rounds will be published online and our Superbowl selections will appear in print this week.
Division I
(4) Cranston East at (1) Barrington
(3) Portsmouth at (2) Hendricken
Division III
(4) Narragansett at (1) Mount Pleasant
Ocean State Waves general manager Matt Finlayson is going back to his roots for his new manager.
A baseball player in his own right at Salve Regina University, Finlayson has tabbed Seahawks skipper Eric Cirella to take over head coaching duties of the Waves.
Finlayson played for CirellaŌĆÖs father, Steve, at Salve and also coached with Eric under Jim Foster at the University of Rhode Island.
WAKEFIELD ŌĆō As 2013 draws to an end for the South Kingstown football team, the casual observers will never get the full story for the RebelŌĆÖs season just by looking at the raw numbers.
On the surface, the Rebels are 2-6 in Division I (3-6 overall) and on the wrong end of the standings. A handful of plays, however, can swing the fate of a football team. To come so close, yet end on the wrong side has been SouthŌĆÖs plight this fall and Friday nightŌĆÖs 40-19 loss to Cranston East was no different than many of the others the Rebels have suffered through this season.
Joe TrainerŌĆÖs five-year run as the head football coach at the University of Rhode Island came to an end Monday morning when the 43-year-old was released from his contract with one year remaining.
Trainer, who led the Rams to a 3-9 season after they didnŌĆÖt win a game in 2012, saw his URI career come to an end following a 41-0 defeat to Maine. The Rams were outscored 191-27 in the last four games of the season.
For more information, pick up the most recent edition of The Narragansett Times
As the 2013 opener approached, South Kingstown boys soccer coach Scott Rollins was leery about putting any preconceived expectations on the season.
Yes, Rebel soccer has a long-standing tradition of being amongst the best in Rhode Island and Rollins felt like the playoffs were once again in the cards, but every year brings a new team and new circumstances. Other than getting back to the postseason, SouthŌĆÖs coach was mum on any set expectations.

PROVIDENCEŌĆöThere is still hope for the Narragansett football team.
Needing a win to keep their chances of making the Division III playoff alive the Mariners turned in an impressive defensive performance in a 28-11 win at Classical Saturday afternoon.
ŌĆ£Playing on the road against Classical theyŌĆÖre always very athletic,ŌĆØ Narragansett coach Dick Fossa said after the win. ŌĆ£They have the ability to run it and throw the ball but we needed to stick to our game plan and play with the intensity we had with Mount Pleasant. We felt if we did that weŌĆÖd have a very good chance of winning.ŌĆØ
When the history books are written about the great philosophers of this era rapper Juelz Santana is not likely going to be one of the first names listed.
Yet there was a lyric from one of SantanaŌĆÖs songs on the back of Narragansett cross country coach Robert ShieldsŌĆÖ sweatshirt as he checked in on Marissa McPhillips after the sophomore Mariner had literally given it everything she had at SundayŌĆÖs RI Girls State Championship.
ŌĆ£Hard work pays off, you get what you put in.ŌĆØ
If anyone knows how true that is, itŌĆÖs McPhillips.
NARRAGANSETT ŌĆō Just two steps remain in the road to perfection for the Narragansett girls volleyball team.
The upset was threatened briefly, but the top seeded Mariners overcame a slow start and eventually trounced the Central Falls Warriors 18-25, 25-17, 25-12, 25-16 in the Division II quarterfinals Tuesday night at the Narragansett Pier School.
CRANSTON ŌĆö The No. 2 Coventry soccer team hadnŌĆÖt allowed more than two goals in any game this season.
In 18 destructive minutes Tuesday evening in the Division II semifinals at Cranston Stadium No. 3 Toll Gate hammered three goals past Coventry goalie Domenic Aguiar.
The Oakers finally settled the game down and found a lifeline in a goal from freshman Matt Buglio in the 36th minute, but the rampant Titans added a fourth goal just before halftime to advance to their first division final since 1990 with a 4-1 victory.
NORTH SCITUATE ŌĆö Throughout the 2013 season the Coventry girls cross country team has battled adversity.
Down two of their top five runners in Jess Bellow and Courtney Grant, the Oakers didnŌĆÖt make excuses when it came to race day and each time put their best foot forward.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs definitely been tough mentally,ŌĆØ junior Allison Bellows said. ŌĆ£Training this season our team has had a lot of injured girls go out but we also have a lot of girls that have stepped up this season and thatŌĆÖs been pretty exciting to watch.ŌĆØ

Supervisors confirm Sewickley ambulance as primary responder
Sewickley Township supervisors this week made official what they announced earlier this month — Sewickley Township Community Ambulance Service is once again the municipality's primary responder for emergency calls.
The supervisors unanimously approved designating the company the township's official ambulance service, effective June 1, and were unanimous in dissolving the agreement with Jeannette EMS Inc., which designated that service as the primary responder.
The Community Ambulance Service had continued to provide emergency services during the dispute and serves Madison, as well.
The approval is contingent upon preparing and signing a final agreement with the ambulance service, which the township anticipates will be done within a few weeks, said Supervisor Alan Fossi. That agreement will be retroactive to June 1, said Supervisor Wanda Layman.
Fossi and Layman had reached a new one-year contract with Community Ambulance Service on June 7. That agreement requires that the Rostraver/West Newton Emergency Services Inc. work in conjunction with Community Ambulance Service in providing emergency services and overseeing its financial operations.
The agreement gives the supervisors a representative on the ambulance service board. Fossi said he will represent the township on the board, although the supervisors did not vote on that matter. He said one problem the township has had with the ambulance service was a lack of communication, which he said he hopes will be resolved with representation on the board.
Community Ambulance Service's financial problems surfaced in February, with revelations that it had debts of more than $200,000, including $71,000 that was past due. Fossi and Layman voted in April to have Jeannette EMS as the primary responder for emergency calls.
Supervisor Joe Kerber objected and wanted to give the Community Ambulance Service another six months to resolve its financial problems with the help of the Rostraver/West Newton Emergency Services.
Although Jeannette EMS was to start operating in Sewickley on June 1, that was delayed because the township did not have a base ready.
Fossi said the township "parted amicably" with Jeannette EMS and there was no charge resulting from the breakup. But the township did rent an 8-by-24-foot office trailer from D. Edward Leasing Co. of Windber, at a cost of $125 per month, plus a charge of approximately $800 to set up the trailer and remove it.
In other matters, the supervisors approved an amendment to the zoning ordinance that requires a 5-foot setback from property lines for any accessory structure, such as a swimming pool or shed, in areas zoned for rural residential and village residential.
The ordinance previously required that accessory structures be 30 feet from the front of the property and 15 feet from the rear, said Kathleen Kerber, a zoning board member who attended the meeting.

November 29, 2015
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A Jefferson County sheriff's investigator said a Graysville teen admitted he killed his mother before pointing an empty gun at his grandfather and pulling the trigger several times.
Investigator Jake Money said in a preliminary hearing Tuesday that 17-year-old Jamie Lee Wallace told authorities he would have shot his grandfather if he "wouldn't have been stupid and used up all them' bullets on his mother."
But the teen's father says medication he was taking for mental
problems played a role in the March shooting of 39-year-old
Michelle Ann Wallace in front of her 8-year-old son.
Money testified that Wallace said he was mad because he believed
his mother had told lies that prevented him from helping his
grandfather with yard work.
Intentional murder and attempted murder charges were bound to a
grand jury.

What dewormer?
Hi I was wondering what kind/brand of dewormer I should use on my horse--he's almost two. how do I know how much to give? I heard that weight tapes arent accurate... What is the best time of year to deworm?
The best thing to do is to talk to your vet to find out what is best in your area.
It depends on what kind of worms your horse has. If you get a fecal done by your vet, you can know exactly what kinds of worms he has and what to treat them with, so you won't be pouring needless chemicals into his body :)
In my area we worm twice a year. Generic Ivermectin paste in the spring then EquiMax paste with Praziquantel for Tapeworm. But, like others said, this is what works in our area. I know some people worm every 2-3 months but we've never needed to. Why worm when you don't need to?
I do know that Quest wormer you have to be VERY careful to stick to the dosing amounts listed so you'll need to know how much he weighs. Other brands you should still not just shoot the whole tube but you can guess a little more on weight. You just don't want to give a 900lb horse wormer for 1350lb of horse.
I'm somewhere else and follow a different program. We got lots of nasty stuff here and.... let's say that the vet's and labs are not .... they ...... are not the best for local stuff.
I go to supply place.
I buy three of everything that they have for three horses and treat every 3 months with a different product.
All the same but not the same.
All get treated EVERY three months AND rotating what I can find and bought.
NO problem... (Missed a treatment by 2 months and the ticks ... I can NOT describe)
Using different products may help with the changing infestations of your fields and (hay) and helps your horse combat some nasty stuff.
I'd NEVER stay with only one.
I agree with getting a fecal test done and using that to guide your decision. I get an FEC done every 3 months and deworm twice a year- once when my whole barn does Ivermectin, and once with Quest Plus to get any tapeworms (which won't show up in the FEC). My horse's FEC has always come up clean, but if it ever doesn't I'll deworm accordingly.

With the final between Manchester United and Barcelona only three days away, key Champions League sponsors Heineken and Ford have unveiled their promotional activity; with the emphasis on social media integration.
Heineken is launching a Twitter-powered map of the world, which will appear on giant screens at selected London train stations, and also online for those of us who live outside London train stations. The map will show bottles of Heineken, with their size representing the number of Champions League tweets from each part of the world.
The lager company said the map was designed to show off the global nature of the Champions League Final, which this year takes place at Wembley Stadium.
Ford's marketing activity focuses on the Focus Cam, which forms the centrepiece of the car maker's presence at this year's UEFA Champions Festival in Hyde Park.
Visitors to Ford's stand can record a photo of themselves 'celebrating' the final using a special multi-angle camera. The images are recorded as video for sharing on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube (as well as being available on Ford's own FordCam website).
For an example of the videos created, look no further:

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Thirteen months ago in the conference room not too far from here, a career was falling apart and Ohio State football was breaking apart.
You remember the legend formerly known as Tressel and mess he caused. You wouldn't have Wednesday, even though it had been slightly more than a year since the Tattoogate scandal broke here, in full bloom setting off a year of college athletics scandal in 2011. When Urban Meyer emerged to announce his first Ohio State recruiting class, the stain had been removed, the stench cleared away.
"It's like nothing happened," recruiting analyst Tom Lemming said. "Business as usual."
Goodbye Buckeye Five, hello Meyer's first 25. A Hazmat crew couldn't have cleaned up this program's toxic spill any quicker. Ohio State is among only a handful of schools -- maybe five or 10 -- that could have survived such a day-by-day (bleep) storm that was 2011. Ohio State might be the only one that could have out of it -- improved.
Consider that the school traded in a national championship coach for one who has two titles. The ranking of this year's class, No. 3 with a bullet according to Lemming, suggests the recruits themselves were able to look past the sleazy goings-on that disgraced the proud Ohio State heritage.
"People have a six-month memory," Lemming said. "That's why Miami is doing well. North Carolina will do well. USC did well after that major infraction."
|More on Signing Day
|Related links
All of those schools are, or will be, on NCAA probation. Ohio State began to dig out Wednesday with a class heavy on linemen -- a good place to start in the Big Ten. Meyer was able to turn -- recruitniks call it "flip" -- eight prospects who had previously been committed to other schools.
When the fax machine stopped, it was like 2010 never happened. Officially, of course, it didn't -- the season was vacated as the scandal grew. But a year ago, we hadn't found out yet that Tressel had hidden those emails detailing benefits gained from a tattoo parlor owner. A year ago, Terrelle Pryor was still a legitimate Heisman candidate for 2011. It was only six months ago when Ohio State faced the NCAA infractions committee.
Then it was like everything happened. Sixty-five days ago, Meyer took the job. Twenty-two days after that, Ohio State got handed that one-year bowl ban.
Urban's renewal suffered a body blow, or as he called it, "a shot."
"When it hit, it was damage control for two, three weeks," Meyer said. "Everyone was taken aback."
The new staff, still shaking hands getting to know each other, lowered their heads and moved the pile. Recruiting versions of Archie Griffin with cell phones stuck to their ears. They landed Noah Spence, a 6-foot-4, 245-pound defensive end that Meyer compared to Florida's Jarvis Moss. They got similarly sized Se'Von Pittman, another defensive end from nearby Canton.
Cleveland offensive lineman Kyle Dodson faxed in his letter of intent so late, the press releases had to be redistributed to the media. For all the baubles Meyer has developed in his career -- Alex Smith, Tim Tebow, Jeff Demps, etc. -- he understands that strength in both lines is going to get him back to the top.
Meyer turned as he left the press conference podium to hammer home the point.
"Dodson," he said, "was huge."
Is huge at 6-foot-6, 310. A local kid from Cleveland. Pat Elflein was another one. The 6-3, 285-pound offensive lineman signed his papers during a school assembly at nearby Pickerington North High. Someone snuck in a cardboard cutout of mascot Brutus. The proceedings quickly turned into a scarlet and gray pep rally.
All that was left was for someone to scream, "We're back!"
"I don't think the bowl ban matters," said Tom Phillips, Elflein's high school coach. "You have an Ohio State prospect in the state of Ohio. They want to play for Ohio State. I was sold on Ohio State. I want to play for Ohio State."
The Bucks are ramping back up so fast it might be the 2012 Midwest version of USC. The Trojans had the best record in the Pac-12 South Division but was going through the second year of a postseason ban. That left mediocre UCLA to get thumped by Oregon in an underwhelming first Pac-12 title game. By the end of the year, USC might have been the best team you didn't see in the postseason.
"[Ohio State administration] calculated the NCAA penalties and it didn't come out the right way," said John Epitropoulos, son of Frank, an incoming receiver from Upper Arlington, Ohio. "I know I wasn't happy as a parent. Even though your son is going to be a freshman, you still want that bowl experience, bowl practice. It really helps your underclassmen."
So we are left to watch how the once-fragile existence of Meyer progresses in a bowl vacuum. The coach who suffered from exhaustion, esophageal spasms and had lost so much weight at Florida, strength coach Mickey Marotti said: "His pants were sagging, [like] he had poop in his drawers," has been renewed. The conduct that wore him down -- that relentless drive -- has made him great again.
If you're going to work for Meyer, you have to want to recruit. He carefully assembled his staff with three holdovers (former interim head coach Luke Fickell and Buckeyes legend Mike Vrabel among them), a familiar Florida guy (Marotti) and six other new coaches.
"I love it," Meyer said of recruiting. "To say I enjoy getting on a plane and flying the red-eyes and all this, I probably would be lying to you. Enjoying that I know I have 6-6, 6-8 offensive tackles where we need them is every bit worth it. Love that part of it."
Back in April as the scandal grew, a local paper called Lemming to ask who could replace Tressel.
"I told them only two guys could save you, Nick Saban or Urban Meyer," Lemming said. "They bring in coaches and they understand their job description is for 365 days a year, they have to recruit."
With one two-time national champion coach spoken for, Ohio State quickly snatched up the best coaching free agent on the market. Meyer's second retirement from Florida lasted less than a year.
"I also know him pretty well," Marotti said. "What else was he going to do?"
An Ohio native came home because he could tap into a rich recruiting pipeline. Fickell was asked that if everything had gone wrong -- multiple-year bowl ban, more scholarships taken away -- could Ohio State have survived even then? Sure, with just Ohio kids. There are enough of them. Fickell -- having been born, raised and played his football in Columbus -- ought to know.
"Absolutely," he said. "Ohio State has a great foundation. It will always be a great place to be. If they bring somebody new in, the foundation will never change."

Adaptive Path are having their UX Week in Washington DC August 13-16, 2007. It promises to be an interesting set of talks and panels, with a good focus on designing in Agile environments, tools for doing so and naturally plenty of Web 2.0 topics too.
It's testament to the industry's health that the user experience discipline has conferences dedicated to it. The Adaptive Path conferences tend to be more practical than others, which is extraordinarily valuable for maturing the practice. To build an identifiable discipline (such as 'programming' for example) the methods we use must be common. It's vital that all UX folk are conversant in tried and true tools, as much for their own benefit, as for those who are trying to identify what UX work looks like.
Conferences like this also provide an opportunity to showcase new thinking in established areas, or new technologies and methodologies. For my part, I'll be presenting modifications to Jesse James Garrett's Visual Vocabulary – using them to diagram the flow of rich internet applications. Check it out at the conference website. I'll also be sitting on Dan Brown's panel to discuss how design methods and documents are changing with the Web 2.0 era - it promises to be a lively discussion!

Critic Dierdre Kelly from Toronto's Globe and Mail, describes seeing MM2 as
"Thrilling... Together with the capacity crowd, I sat mesmerized as the dancers--barefoot and just as emotionally naked--flung themselves with abandon into the elements, electrifying the air around them."MM2's newest work, THREE is a collection of eighteen dance "short stories," each of which is no longer than three minutes in length. Rather than the result of a single vision, each dancer contributes to the choreography.
The subject of these pieces is as diverse as the company members themselves, from cycles of life to selfless love and even a personal journey into surrealism.
MM2 will be performing THREE on Sunday, September 22nd at the Michener Art Museum.
The Michener is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. It was named for one of Doylestown's most famous sons, Pulitzer-Prize winning novelist James A. Michener and housed in the former warden's house of the 19th century Bucks County Jail.
While you're there you can also see two exhibitions that will close soon, one on furniture designer and sonic artist Harry Bertoia and a group show called Creative Hand, Discerning Heart: Form, Rhythm, Song.
For more information on tickets to THREE is here.

LARRY PAYNE: Constitutional right threatened by bill
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Congress has passed a bill that will be more damaging to our Constitution's Bill of Rights than the Patriot Act.
The National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 has passed in the Senate, 93-7. It passed in the House, 283-136. Included in the bill is language that contradicts the Sixth Amendment, which states:
"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense."
This NDAA bill, when signed by President Obama, will make it legal for Homeland Security to arrest U.S. citizens in this country without showing due cause and imprison them indefinitely without trial.
In other words, if someone in a government position thinks you may be aiding terrorists, they don't have to prove it. They can submit your name to the president and if he agrees that you may be a suspect, you can be arrested, sent to a foreign prison and held without trial indefinitely.
Think about this — why would our elected representatives want to make it possible for you or I or anyone else in this country to be arrested and imprisoned without providing any evidence of guilt?
Our Constitution has protected us from this tyrannical practice for more than 200 years. Our courts have been successful in prosecuting crime. Our overflowing prisons attest to that. Tea Party movement and Occupy Wall Street are legally protesting our government's policies.
Under the new law, what if our government decides organized protesters are terrorists?
Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, Gen. Colin Powell's former chief of staff, says that the bill is a big step toward tyranny in America. Congressman Ron Paul says that it will establish martial law in America.
Ninety-three percent of our senators voted against our constitutional rights. The seven senators who supported our constitutional rights and voted against the bill are: Tom Coburn, R-Okla.; Jeff Merkley, D-Ore.; Ron Wyden, D-Ore.; Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.; Rand Paul, R-Ky.; and Tom Harkin, D-Iowa. Texas Sens. John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison voted against our constitutional rights, of course.
Sen. Carl Levin, co-sponsor of the bill, explained on the Senate floor that the Bill of Rights-shredding language in the bill was there because the Obama administration wanted it included.

Regenerating Torn Cartilage
Page 2 of 2
One of the biggest problems with transplanting biomaterials is getting the mostly aqueous material to stick in a very slippery space, says Jennifer Elisseeff, a biomedical engineer at Johns Hopkins University, who developed ChonDux and cofounded Cartilix. The adhesive in this case consists of chondroitin sulfate–a natural component of cartilage that is chemically modified to bind to the healthy cartilage surrounding the defect, as well as to the hydrogel. "It acts like a primer that helps paint stick to the wall," Elisseeff said at a panel at the recent EmTech conference in Cambridge, MA. The adhesive prevents scar formation between the new and old cartilage.
Elisseeff, who was a member of Technology Review's TR35 in 2002, and her team have tested the material in rabbits and goats and have found that more cells from the bone marrow get trapped in the blood clot when the hydrogel is present, compared with microfracture conducted without the gel. The researchers also noted that the defects fill faster with the biomaterial than without, and that the newly formed tissue more closely resembles true cartilage.
Results from a small clinical trial in Europe also look promising. According to findings presented at EmTech, magnetic resonance scans of the knee six months after the procedure showed that patients who received the hydrogel had grown more tissue than those undergoing traditional microfracture, and they reported less pain. Cartilix hopes to submit the data from its European study to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and begin a larger human trial in the United States.
While there are a number of studies on different carriers, such as hydrogels and other biomaterials, that can hold the cells in place and grow cartilage, "what's exciting about this work is that this bioadhesive can hold the hydrogel in place fairly strongly, giving it time to regrow cartilage," says Farshid Guilak, a biomedical engineer at Duke University School of Medicine. And because the biomaterial doesn't need to be seeded with cells prior to injection–a strategy that many research groups are investigating–it might be easier for Cartilix to obtain FDA approval for the material.
Elisseeff is adapting her biomaterials for other applications as well. For instance, she recently licensed some of her technology to Kythera Biopharmaceuticals, a company based in Calabasas, CA, that specializes in cosmetic medicine. The company is using Elisseeff's materials to develop light-activated cosmetic fillers that last much longer than those currently on the market. These fillers, which are typically injected into the skin along the sides of the mouth to minimize wrinkles caused by aging, tend to have a short life span. Patients often have the procedure repeated several times a year.
"With our materials, we shine light over [the area of the skin] that was injected and cross-link the materials so that they don't degrade as quickly," says Elisseeff. She says that Kythera plans to test the cosmetic fillers in patients in a couple of months. The first pilot study will take place in Beverly Hills.

Haitian Spaghetti Recipe
So I might have posted this before.
But since I have a lot of "Haiti lovers" that grace my page, I thought I would do you a giant favor and post this link. This is a recipe for Haitian spaghetti. It's a very common Haitian dish and eaten by pretty much every class of people. (Served sometimes for breakfast, and many times with extra ketchup-- Haitians like sweet food.)
A lot of times it has thin strips of ham or small cut up pieces of hotdog in it. And sometimes I have seen it with fresh diced tomatoes in it (it's served that way at the Cyvadier Plage-- which I discovered on my last trip is my favorite Haitian restaurant so far (not that I have eaten at that many). And just FYI-- once we get our home built on the land in Raymond, I AM tiling my floor like them.)
It's easy to make and a ridiculously cheap meal. We all love it. Plus, as the mother of a Haitian child, I love having a Haitian meal in our regular "rotation."
And BONUS: Nick Mangine is the Haitian spaghetti chef-- so I also get a night off cooking!
So check it out!
(PS-- it's my husband's blog-- so nepotism maybe... but a dang good recipe.)
5 comments:
So I asked Nick if he's like to have Haitian Spaghetti sometime and he said, "I don't think so." Maybe once you're there again I can convince him to try it in your honour! heheReplyDelete
I think you'd NEVER know there was ketchup in it unless you were told.ReplyDelete
It does not taste like ketchup.
Ya' know, one of my oldest child's clearest memories of his birth mother was her making spaghetti with hot dogs cut up in it.ReplyDelete
I never knew about the ketchup, though. I am soooooo going to surprise him!!!
I am TOTALLY going to try thisReplyDelete
I didn't know there was an actual recipe for this! My son had spaghetti with cut up hotdogs every morning for breakfast when he was first here. For months I made pasta every morning. But he would just eat plain old spaghetti with hotdogs and ketchup.ReplyDelete

Space CoolMay 31st, 2006 by Gene
Working in space can be a sweaty business. We'll see how engineers are helping astronauts keep cool. Today, on Engineering Works!
Here on Earth, we don't think much about how astronauts keep cool in their space suits. It's important and harder than you think. It gets hot up there — as hot as 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Hot enough to boil water. Dangerously hot.
Astronauts have this problem because there's no air in orbit. On earth, the sun's heat rays never hit us directly. Some of the UV rays do hit us, though. They hit molecules of air and heat them. Those molecules pass on their heat to other molecules that eventually touch us — nowhere near as hot as what the astronauts experience in space.
Engineers are trying to solve the problem by adding another layer to the suit's cooling system. Astronauts already wear mesh suits that circulate cooling water next to their skin. The new cooling system would add high-tech water-absorbing fabric that removes moisture from the skin and holds it. Then when it gets too hot inside the suit, the fabric releases outside the suit the moisture it absorbed, cooling the fabric just like what happens to our skin when we sweat.
Firefighters, steelworkers and others who work in extremely hot conditions already use a cooling system kind of like this, and engineers think it will work for astronauts, too.
It's time for us to get off the hot seat and into the cool. We'll see you next time.

Derrick Dunn
- Filed Under
A Pineville man given a grace period to return items alleged to have been stolen didn't do so, and now faces a theft charge, according to police.
Derrick Dunn, 44, of 1440 Vallery Lane, was arrested on Thursday and was booked into the Rapides Parish Detention Center on a charge of theft between $500 and $1,500. He later was released on a $2,500 bond.
The arrest stemmed from a complaint filed March 29 at the Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office's Tioga substation by a complainant who alleged Dunn had not returned a cutting torch, hoses and acetylene/oxygen bottles that had been loaned to him, according ...

|Functional performance of human cardiosphere-derived cells delivered in an in situ polymerizable hyaluronan-gelatin hydrogel.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22560668 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|The vast majority of cells delivered into the heart by conventional means are lost within the first 24 h. Methods are needed to enhance cell retention, so as to minimize loss of precious material and maximize effectiveness of the therapy. We tested a cell-hydrogel delivery strategy. Cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs) were grown from adult human cardiac biopsy specimens. In situ polymerizable hydrogels made of hyaluronan and porcine gelatin (Hystem(®)-C™) were formulated as a liquid at room temperature so as to gel within 20 min at 37 °C. CDC viability and migration were not compromised in Hystem-C™. Myocardial infarction was created in SCID mice and CDCs were injected intramyocardially in the infarct border zone. Real-time PCR revealed engraftment of CDCs delivered in Hystem-C™ was increased by nearly an order of magnitude. LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction) deteriorated in the control (PBS only) group over the 3-week time course. Hystem-C™ alone or CDCs alone preserved LVEF relative to baseline, while CDCs delivered in Hystem-C™ resulted in a sizable boost in LVEF. Heart morphometry revealed the greatest attenuation of LV remodeling in the CDC + Hystem-C™ group. Histological analysis suggested cardiovascular differentiation of the CDCs in Hystem-C™. However, the majority of functional benefit is likely from paracrine mechanisms such as tissue preservation and neovascularization. A CDC/hydrogel formulation suitable for catheter-based intramyocardial injection exhibits superior engraftment and functional benefits relative to naked CDCs.
