A Child's Christmas in Wales
A Child's Christmas in Wales is a prose work by the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. Originally emerging from a piece written for radio, it was recorded by Thomas in 1952. The story is an anecdotal retelling of a Christmas from the view of a young child and is a romanticised version of Christmases past, portraying a nostalgic and simpler time. It is one of Thomas's most popular works.
Publishing history[edit]
Thomas had recorded work for BBC Radio from 1937, when he first read poetry and talked about his life as a poet.[1] Although his radio work was a minor source of income, in the early 1940s he began writing radio scripts, and in late 1942 he wrote Reminiscences of Childhood, a 15-minute talk broadcast by the Welsh BBC in February of the following year.[2] This was followed by Quite Early one Morning in 1944, recorded in Wales and produced by Aneirin Talfan Davies.[2] Although popular in Wales, when Davies offered the recording to London for national broadcast it was rejected, as the BBC was unimpressed by Dylan's "breathless poetic voice".[2] In 1945 Lorraine Davies, the producer of Welsh Children's Hour, wrote to Thomas suggesting a talk entitled "Memories of Christmas". Thomas thought that this was "a perfectly good title to hang something on" and by the autumn he had finished the work.[2] It was accepted by BBC London, but the Children's Hour director, Derek McCulloch (Uncle Mac), was unhappy about allowing the "notoriously tricky" Thomas to read the piece live, which was the practice of the show.[2] McCulloch wrote to Thomas pretending there were technical reasons that prevented recording on that day and Thomas recorded the work in advance.[2]
Almost five years later, Thomas enlarged his 1945 BBC talk "Memories of Christmas", merging in sections of an essay written for Picture Post in 1947, "Conversation about Christmas".[3] He sold the work which was published under the title "A Child's Memories of a Christmas in Wales" to American magazine Harper's Bazaar for $300 in 1950.[3][4] On his 1952 tour of America, Thomas was visited at the Chelsea Hotel by college graduates Barbara Holdridge and Marianne Mantell, who believed that there were commercial possibilities in recordings of poetry.[5] After finding little interest from American backers in medieval music and Shakespeare recitals, the women looked at recording contemporary authors reading their own work.[5] For the 45-minute recording, Thomas agreed to a fee of $500 for the first 1,000 records and a ten-percent royalty thereafter. Holdridge and Mantell were forced to fund the fee after no interested publisher could be found, and a contract was drawn between Thomas and the women's company, Caedmon Audio, created especially for the purpose.[6] The recording made on 22 February was originally to contain his poems "In the white giant's thigh", "Fern Hill", "Do not go gentle into that good night", "Ballad of the Long-legged Bait" and "Ceremony After a Fire Raid". Thomas said he wanted to read a story and suggested "A Child's Christmas in Wales", the title the work became known under from that time.[6] Thomas arrived at the studio unprepared, and a copy of Harper's Bazaar from 1950 containing the text had to be found; Mantell stated she believed Thomas to be drunk during the recording.[6] The recording sold modestly at first,[6] but became his most popular prose work in America.[7] The original 1952 recording was a 2008 selection for the United States National Recording Registry, stating it is "credited with launching the audiobook industry in the United States".[8]
Thomas died a year after the recording, in New York.[9] In 1954, A Child's Christmas in Wales was published in book format as part of the American pressing of "Quite early one morning" by New Directions Publishing.[10] The story was first published under its own title in 1955, again by New Directions.[11][12] The book has been republished several times since. The story's short length lends itself to illustrations. A 1959 pressing by New Directions contained five wood block engravings by Fritz Eichenberg,[13][14] the 1968 Dent edition featured woodcuts by Ellen Raskin,[15] while a 1978 publication by Orion Children's was illustrated by Edward Ardizzone,[11] followed by a 1985 version by Holiday House with images by Trina Schart Hyman.
Like his poetry, A Child's Christmas in Wales does not have a narrative structure but contains several descriptive passages designed to create an emotive sense of nostalgia.[11] The story is told from the viewpoint of the author recounting a festive season as a young boy in a fictionalised autobiographical style. In the first passage Thomas searches for a nostalgic Western belief in Christmas past with the line, It was snowing. It was always snowing at Christmas. He furthers the idyllic memory of childhood past by describing the snow as being better and more exciting than the snow that is experienced as an adult.[11] The prose is comedic with exaggerated characters, used either for comedic effect or to show how childhood memories are enlarged due to youthful interpretation.
The story has been adapted as a play, film and animation.
- Welsh musician John Cale wrote and recorded a song, "Child's Christmas in Wales", on his album, Paris 1919 (1973). The song is inspired by, rather than an adaptation of, A Child's Christmas in Wales, although elsewhere Cale has recorded settings of Dylan Thomas' verse.[16][17]
- In 1982, the Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival in Cleveland, Ohio commissioned a stage adaptation of the work by Jeremy Brooks and Adrian Mitchell .[18] In 1987, a television film,
- Denholm Elliott starred in Jon Glascoe and Peter Kreutzer's adaptation of A Child's Christmas in Wales (1987).[19]
- Marillion recorded a spoken-word-over-music version of "A Child's Christmas in Wales", which was released on their fan club Christmas CD, Pudding on the Ritz (2008).[20]
- In 2008, a Welsh language animated version was produced for S4C, which was voiced by actor, Matthew Rhys who played Dylan Thomas in the film The Edge of Love (2008).[21]
- Comedian Mark Watson wrote a one-off period comedy, A Child's Christmases in Wales, starring Ruth Jones, inspired by the short story. Broadcast as part of the Christmas 2009 season on BBC Four, it was described as peeping into the lives of a South Wales family's Christmases across the 1980s and was written by comedian Mark Watson.
- It is traditional for students of Davenport College at Yale University to hold a dramatized reading of A Child's Christmas in Wales on the final day of the winter term. The tradition is said to be almost 60 years old as of 2014, although the origins are apocryphal.[citation needed]

The Gnat
This light, agile fighter-jet, which first flew in 1955, was made by British aircraft designer Teddy Petter, who wanted to reverse
the trend towards heavier and more expensive interceptors in the 1940s by developing an aircraft design that could also be built easily in developing countries. Although the RAF never used it in combat, the Gnat became famous as the aircraft of choice for the Red Arrows aerobatic team. It was also flown extensively by the Indian Air Force and was exported to Finland and Yugoslavia. The example pictured was built in 1962 and used by the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Bedford to investigate air turbulence from 1970 to 1983.

"I heard about the food distribution through a social service agency," said Delia Gallegos, who traveled from the Northeast to a Lower Valley church Wednesday to pick up a food box.
"My kids, ages 7, 8 and 12, are hungry, and we don't have any money.
"I work cleaning houses, and we're not doing well economically. I am truly thankful for what these people have done for us today."
The giveaway was a joint effort of Abundant Living Faith Center and Destiny Family Christian Center.
Patricia Rodriguez, outreach coordinator for Abundant Living Faith Center, said a generous donor purchased the food from Feed the Children, and the food was being given out this week.
Feed the Children is an international relief organization based in Oklahoma City that distributes food and medical supplies to people in all 50 states and more than 30 foreign countries.
"After this distribution at the church, later we plan to give away more food boxes in San Elizario," Rodriguez said.
"We operate a pantry at the church, and since October, the demand for food items has tripled. We've seen people come here who haven't eaten in two days."
In addition to food boxes, families will be given a free package containing personal hygiene items. "For these families, the personal hygiene items are a luxury they can't afford," Rodriguez said.
Victoria Sainte, a member of Destiny Family Christian Center, said Cesare Gagliardoni, a former El Paso medical device manufacturer who moved from the border region, has purchased truckloads of food to be given away to needy families since 1996.
"He is very generous, and continues to do this each year even though he is no longer in El Paso," Sainte said. "I used to work for his company, and he still calls on me to help with the food distribution. This week, he is at a hospital in Pennsylvania, where a relative of his is being operated for a brain tumor.
"The rest of the time, Mr. Gagliardoni lives in Monte Carlo."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — With a gargantuan showdown looming Saturday at No. 3 Clemson, junior running back Karlos Williams calmly slid into his seat in the Florida State media room Monday afternoon wearing a T-shirt inscribed with a slogan the team adopted at the beginning of the year.
It read simply, "It's our time."
And for the No. 5 Seminoles' championship aspirations, that time is now.
Saturday's Top 5 showdown — the first of the 2013 college football season — will send one of these two national powerhouses on a collision course for a conference crown and potential berth in the BCS title game, while the other will likely see those dreams evaporate.
"No pressure at all," Williams grinned. "It's gonna be fun."
It should also be epic.
Some are labeling the 27th meeting in the rivalry the biggest game in ACC history — and that'd be hard to argue. The nationally televised prime time duel features a pair of Heisman candidates leading two of the nation's most explosive offenses against defenses ripe with NFL prospects. The matchup has even attracted ESPN's College GameDay crew to deafening Death Valley, where Florida State will enter as a surprising 3-point favorite considering its recent dismal history in South Carolina.
Dismal, as in, five straight losses.
Might that mess with the Seminoles' psyche?
"I don't think so. What happened to those other teams is not this team," FSU fourth-year coach Jimbo Fisher said of the Seminoles' 12-year drought since the program's last victory at Clemson in 2001. "You can't worry about those things. You can't worry about the past. Even if we had won 10 in a row (at Clemson) doesn't mean you can go up there and win this week."
Williams, a safety-turned-running back this season, was on defense last year when FSU beat Clemson in a shootout in Tallahassee, 49-37. Now he's leading the Seminoles (5-0, 3-0 in the ACC), who are coming off a bye week, with six touchdowns and is part of the nation's fourth-ranked total offense, which is also third in FBS in scoring (53.6 points per game) and second in passing efficiency.
That's thanks in large part to freshman quarterback Jameis Winston — aforementioned Heisman candidate No. 1 — and his 19 touchdowns and 73.2 percent completion percentage, which is tied with reigning Heisman winner Johnny Manziel for second in the country. And while Winston is coming off a head-turner of a game against Maryland — 393 yards and five TD passes in a 63-0 rout of the No. 25 Terps — the 19-year-old former No. 1 high school QB recruit in the nation has never been on a stage this big.
But Fisher has worlds of confidence in Winston, who will be chased all night by a Tigers defense that leads the NCAA in sacks (4.0 per game) and tackles for loss (10.2). When asked if his young QB's relative inexperience makes him even the slightest bit nervous, the coach was emphatic in his response.
"No," Fisher said.
He is, however, concerned about Clemson's own Heisman threat, senior quarterback Tajh Boyd, who leads the ACC's top-ranked passing offense (342 ypg) and has thrown for 1,783 yards and 19 touchdowns already this season. But what scares Fisher the most isn't Boyd's numbers this year, it's that he's been doing this his entire career. And it's a career that will end this season with Boyd (9,836 yards) overtaking Duke's Thaddeus Lewis (10,065) as the conference's second all-time leading passer.
"His consistency (is what makes him great)," Fisher said of Boyd, who rallied Clemson (6-0, 4-0) to a 24-14 comeback win against Boston College last week. "That's the thing we all get bored with. That's what you don't want to write about. You want to write about something spectacular. Great players are consistent in how they perform … Does he do it every week? To me, that's key to any great player. He's definitely done that."
But something will have to give Saturday when Boyd tries to air it out against the Seminoles. FSU's passing defense, led by All-ACC First-Teamer Lamarcus Joyner, is No. 2 in the nation, allowing opponents just 149 yards a game on average. Florida State also has the NCAA's third-ranked scoring defense (12.0 ppg) and is coming off a historic beatdown of Maryland and quarterback C.J. Brown, who came into the game as the conference's top individual offensive leader. But Brown but was all but shut down by FSU from the opening series, leading to the final 63-point margin of defeat — the largest ever in ACC play.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney didn't need to see that score to know the danger that's headed to Death Valley this weekend.
"They have no weaknesses. It's a very complete, balanced team. They've got great players on both sides of the ball. And they got a special player (in Winston). He doesn't look like a freshman. He looks like a full-grown man to me," Swinney said Tuesday. "They're a great team, but I think they know we're a great team, too. Some games, you got a little more margin for error than others. This game, we don't have a lot. They don't either."

DVD review: 'Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me' captures the joys of a show-biz survivor
Grade • B+
DVD • Elaine Stritch is a show-business survivor, and she reveals many of those scars in the emotional documentary "Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me."
The Broadway and sometime TV star (best known to younger audiences as Jack Donaghy's hard-to-love mother on "30 Rock") is shown preparing a new one-woman show of Sondheim tunes.
As she does, director Chiemi Karasawa captures intimate moments as Stritch reminisces about her former co-stars and collaborators including Noel Coward and Rock Howard and deals with her diabetes and discusses her bouts of alcoholism.
Best of all, the movie shows Stritch in her natural environment, onstage, turning every song into an anthem of endurance and perseverance.

If you've got to have people taking you to the woodshed, it's a comfort when they are stellar personalities such as former Lt. Gov. Diane Denish and one of New Mexico's better journalists, Walt Rubel, managing editor of the Las Cruces Sun-News.
Both raised eyebrows over a column here poking innocent fun at the Occupy Wall Street movement. Joining the chorus of boos were several from the Albuquerque area, mostly folks who seem to have a prune juice deficit.
Rubel found idiotic my column assertion that nothing has changed since hippies roamed the land. I was making the point we will always have the rich and the poor. Walt pointed out that I overlook the significant fact that there has been a huge change, that being the shift in the wealth gap. Fewer and fewer people own more and more.
He's right, although I think the intent of my assertion was clear. However, I was but a bit player in a Rubel column whose main theme was a timely and needed rebuke of Congressman Steve Pearce's rants. The Pearce-Washington bashing routine is so intense, Walt says, that the congressman's "derision is to the point where you have to wonder how effective he can be." That is extremely well said, so I guess I can give Walt a pass for picking on me.
My defense of business and profit baffled Denish.
"Do you think comparing big bank profits and coffee shop profits is reality? I've been checking around with local retailers lately. None of them have really enjoyed 200 percent bonus stock options or bailouts.
Good points, but not all share in rational thinking. Many go overboard, wanting to dismantle the system. They ignore the fact that capitalism, if structured in a way to float boats at all levels of society, is still the best bet for our country.
I do not defend obscene profits. It would seem one answer is higher taxes for the richest, which is admittedly a convenient solution for me since I am not among them. But Warren Buffett is the poster boy of the carriage trade, and he is on the record saying the tax code coddles the wealthiest among us.
The hippie protests of old and the Occupy Wall Street movement have much in common. They each were born of valid idealistic goals, they each have some bright and sincere adherents, and each is devalued by the outrageous. In former days it was the soap-deprived, pot-smoking dullard. Today's Occupy Wall Street Kodak moment is attired in ghoulish garb with black and white face paint.
And, yes, before you write, let me quickly admit much of the media "coverage" of these events involves TV cameras pointed at the guy who looks like he is about to go trick or treating.
I have often wondered why protests most frequently involve sitting. America did not become a great country because people sat. Rather, our strength is based on getting off our butts and doing something productive.
The idea of gathering in a pleasant park on a mild, sunny day, sitting on a blanket and holding a "Banks Suck!" sign seems rather easy. I have to wonder if Albuquerque snow reduced the fervor of occupiers.
In some cities the Occupy Wall Street camps have impressively set up shelters for the homeless. That is a good thing. What if they were to go a step further? Those New Mexicans so embittered with how the Wall Street crowd enslaves lower classes might issue an invitation to gather in, say, Raton.
Once there, they will choose a disadvantaged family, fix up the house, make sure the car runs properly, help them with legal issues and investigate avenues of health care. Their message to government and corporate America would be, "We're helping poor people. Won't you?"
I can just see the protest signs.

You never know where some of your best news tips will come from. Sometimes it's an anonymous caller. Or an e-mail. Or your 12-year old daughter comes home from school and says her best friend's dad has bowled four 300 games in the last 26 days. Such was the case recently as I asked Blonde Daughter to repeat herself. "Four 300 games in the last 26 days." I thought about those numbers for a couple seconds and decided "That's pretty good." A 300 in bowling constitutes a perfect game. 12 consecutive strikes. Yep. Pretty good.
So thanks to BD, Todd Iverson's very impressive feat of bowling excellence turned into a very nice television news story on WDAZ last night. You can watch it here.
One more thing: for good measure, shortly after the interview which took place at Liberty Lanes in East Grand Forks, Iverson bowled another perfect game. His fifth in the last 30 days. Pretty good.


text: NASA Sues Astronaut for Swiping Moon Camera Moonwalker Edgar Mitchell tried to sell camera at auction By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff | Suggested by Larry-Crehore Posted Jul 1, 2011 4:15 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (4) (Newser) – NASA is suing the sixth man on the moon for a camera that he says would have ended up as "government trash" or moon litter if he hadn't kept it. Government lawyers got involved after Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell attempted to sell the lunar movie camera at auction, where it was expected to fetch up to $80,000, Reuters reports. The 80-year-old astro rejects NASA's claim that he is "exercising improper dominion and control" over its camera and should return it immediately. Mitchell—who admits that NASA has asked for the camera before—says moon mission astronauts were allowed to keep plenty of mementos. "We have dozens of pieces, all of us who flew to the moon," he tells the Palm Beach Post. Apollo 12 astronaut Alan Bean, the fourth man to walk on the moon, says he left behind the camera he took there in 1969. "Be kind to Ed," he says. "These things, back in those days, it wasn't important. We were trying to get to the moon and get back alive. The other stuff, it wasn't important." Former NASA astronaut Edgar Mitchell arrives for the premiere of the "In the Shadow of the Moon," at the Hayden Planetarium.

Although strongly affected by the financial and economic crisis, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) still presented cash-rich companies with the opportunity to benefit from depressed asset prices during the past two years. However, the period of heavily undervalued assets has come to an end. As a result acquirers will have to refocus even more strongly on fundamental value drivers and their own business strategy in any deal. This month we look at the effects of the crisis on M&A and the importance of identifying the right target for a transaction.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- This past Friday night, the Jacksonville Sharks lost for the first time since the season opener on March 12th.
The San Jose SaberCats defeated the Sharks 83-70 to snap a 13-game winning streak. With the loss, the Sharks' record drops to (13-2). They will try to get back to their winning ways on Saturday against the Dallas Vigilantes who are (10-5). Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at Sea Best Field inside Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena.
Saturday night is also "Shark-A-Ritaville" which means that fans are encouraged to dress in their favorite island-wear.
The Sharks have already clinched a playoff spot and a division title. The team has a perfect record of (7-0) at home so far this season.
40-year-old quarterback Aaron Garcia has thrown at least 9 touchdown passes in both of the last two games. He needs just one more touchdown pass to surpass 100 for the season. This will be the third time in his career that he thrown for at least 100 TD passes, and that will be an Arena Football League record.
Garcia already owns the AFLrecords for most touchdown passes, passing yards, and completions in a career. Now, he is just three interceptions away from owning the dubious distinction of most career interceptions.

WTF? Did you guys see their last fight? Cain has that riddle solved and JDS will crumple mentally once Cain starts smothering him again. Odds should be worse in my mind.

I think a lot of people are overlooking jds

I think the line should be closer. Cain shouldn't be a 2:1 favourite.

I am surprised by these odds, would have expected +- 100 at the most.I don't even know if that is possible I don't know about odds betting but they seem pretty damn evenly matched to me.
6/18/13 5:48 PM by John M
The discussion will never be put to rest. These two will fight more than 3 times.

Thanks for posting these odds, I can't wait for this trilogy so we can put this discussion to rest! I will be rooting for Cain Velasquez :)

As he should be fav. He won a convincing UD over JDS last time. While I think JDS wins this next one, I agree with the line.

Came up on Cain in the last fight. Mgm had him at +180!! Current line sounds about right.

Jay-Z's latest video called "Run This Town" (featuring Rihanna and Kanye West) contains occult symbolism relating to secret societies. It has been long rumored that Jay-Z is part of some sort of occult order (probably Freemasonry) due to the hints slipped in his songs and his imagery. "Run This Town" certainly adds fuel to the fire. We'll look at the symbolism in this song and in his clothing line, Rocawear.
A look at the spooky, spooky Masonic, occult and New World Order themes and messages hidden in the music of Jay-Z and Rhianna. Is their hit single "Run This Town" an announcement of the coming of a New World Order, lead by secret (Luciferian) societies? Some people say yes.

A change in tax policy implemented on Jan. 1 prevents restaurant workers from collecting automatic gratuities — the added 18 percent fee many restaurants charge to groups of eight or more as part of their tips.
Instead, that added fee will be included in their payroll, meaning workers have to wait up to two weeks to get that extra cash and must pay additional taxes on it.
Most local restaurant owners who practiced automatic gratuities on large groups of eight or more are dealing with the issue by simply doing away with the practice.
Kristina Hunt, assistant manager for Cattle Barron's Restaurant said that the company is not willing to make the changes that would be involved in the accounting aspect of the new rule.
"A corporation of this size — it's just not cost effective to change our whole system to comply with what (the IRS was) asking so we just did away with the automatic gratuity," Hunt said. "We're not going to comply with it."
The IRS' revised Ruling 2012-18 draws a sharper distinction between tips and service charges. Many restaurants for years have added fixed gratuities to parties of five or more, but the new IRS rules on what constitutes a tip require restaurant owners to treat tips as service charges, which are a part of wages.
Joseph Henchman, vice president of legal and state projects at Washington, D.C.-based think tank Tax Foundation, reported in the hospitality trade magazine Nation's Restaurant News that "in order for it to be a tip, it has to be voluntary; it has to be entirely set by the customer; it has to be the subject of something the customer comes up with and not dictated by a policy; and the customer has to decide who gets the tip."
The policy changes the way that the employer is required to report automatic gratuities for the server on payroll taxes, so any automatic gratuities would then be added to the paperwork that independent restaurant owners and corporate chains have to process and then report to the IRS for the server.
In addition to paperwork and accounting issues, servers accustomed to cashing out their tips at the end of the day would have to wait to receive their money — minus taxes — until the gratuity cycled through the payroll process — something that does not sit well with servers anywhere, said Henchman.
Kevin Yeager, assistant manager for Farley's Restaurant, said that their wait staff was not happy when they heard the news.
"We had a lot of upset employees when they heard about the IRS change because we did charge the automatic gratuity on large parties," Yeager said. "Our whole company just decided to do away with the automatic gratuities as of the first of the year. So far, some people in the large groups tip like they should and others don't. There was nothing we could do about it."
It doesn't appear the change will affect servers at Quarters, Win, Place and Show and Ranchers drastically. Owner Dean Fowler said servers have always had the option on tables of eight or more to automatically add the gratuity or not in his restaurants.
"Most of the time they chose not to automatically add the gratuity," Fowler said. "People would end up splitting the ticket and it was just a hassle all the way around."
"Our staff was kind of upset when they first heard about the change, especially coming right during the holidays when we have a lot of large parties," Hunt said. "Now we put a suggested tip amount on the bottom of the ticket and generally most people tip appropriately."
Another potential fall out from the IRS change for restaurant owners and managers is that automatically putting a gratuity on for large parties insured their staffs were willing to work those large groups without the fear of being under-tipped.
"Unfortunately, the administrative change that the IRS is going to require with this new revenue ruling makes automatic gratuities a lot less appealing for restaurant owners and wait staff," Henchman said. "We'll probably see those go away. I would imagine it will become harder to find wait staff to work large parties."
"There isn't anything else we can do," Hunt said. "It's not us. It's the government."

If 80 million people had seen a short film I made about Joseph Kony, an African madman/dictator who kidnaps kids and makes them slaves and soldiers, sent me $30 bucks for a bracelet, then expected me to help them catch this maniac in some remote section of Sudan, well I, too, would probably run into the street in my underwear. And end up in the hospital.
To be absolutely clear, I hate African madmen/dictators who enslave kids and turn them into killing machines.
I watched the KONY2012 video at Fuel surrounded by people, so I didn't openly weep. It's difficult not to cry when you hear Jacob's story, what happened to his family, his friends, to Uganda: "We worry the rebels when they arrest us again then they will kill us. My brother tried to escape. Then they killed him using a panga. They cut his neck … I saw."
Jason Russell, the filmmaker, made Jacob a promise: "We are also going to do everything that we can to stop them … we're going to stop them."

Secure donations by Network for Good
LANSING, MI --- Potter Park Zoo will be transporting Newton, a 15-year-old Bactrian Camel, to MSU's veterinary hospital for arthritis treatment on Monday, December 6.
"We hope to diagnose and repair his knee joint," said Dr. Tara Harrison, Veterinarian/Curator at Potter Park Zoo. "Despite medications, he's been having a very difficult time moving. This is our last heroic attempt to hopefully help improve his life."
The animal care staff decided transferring Newton to MSU is the best option because Potter Park Zoo does not currently have a facility large enough to perform surgery on an animal of his size. Potter Park Zoo security will escort doctors and staff during the process in order to minimize the risk for Newton.
"If we bring him there and determine that his joints are not repairable, he will likely be humanely euthanized and brought to the MSU Diagnostic Center for a complete necropsy," said Dr. Harrison. "We are trying our hardest to help him but due to the severity of his arthritis, we realize that he may not make it."
Newton was born in 1997 and came to Potter Park Zoo in 1999 from the Dallas Zoo. He has produced multiple offspring, all of which have been transferred to Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) approved organizations.
Potter Park Zoo is located at 1301 S. Pennsylvania Ave. within Potter Park along the Red Cedar River in Lansing, Michigan. The zoo is open daily year-round, winter hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, call (517) 483-4222 or visit www.potterparkzoo.org.

Eva Longoria has always had a pretty good fashion sense.
But ever since she started dating Mexican media mogul Jose Antonio Baston, it seems the gorgeous gal has put a little added pressure on herself when it comes to what she wears.
"He's a good dresser," the 39-year-old actress said about her boyfriend while appearing on Monday's The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "I always have to step it up!"
She added, "It's exhausting."
That being said, though, Longoria noted that she is "very happy."
Longoria, who was recently named Maxim's Woman of the Year, has been dating Baston since last October.
The pretty pair made their first public appearance together in November while attending the Museo Jumex Opening dinner at Casa De La Bola in Mexico City, Mexico.
The two were also spotted at the Haute Living and Hublot's The Art of Fusion party on Dec. 6 in Miami, where an insider told E! News at the time, "They looked like such a great couple. She looks so happy and he is so madly in love with her."
Longoria was last romantically linked to Ready for Love reality star Ernesto Argüello before they split up last summer.

The title of this post comes from an audience member who was present for last night's talk with Anna Wintour and Jonathan Tisch. Anna is gone now, we did not keep her here on display at our Art Gallery for you to ogle. We know how much those not in attendance wanted to see her. People were offering hundreds of dollars for tickets that have been sold out for months, and those waiting in the stand-by line were ready to bribe and beg their way in. One woman waited 2 and a half hours before an anonymous individual walked up to her and handed her a ticket (a miracle!) meant for a friend who had not shown up.
For those who could not attend, New York Magazine's The Cut live blogged the event on Twitter. Lots of highlights and affection: someone shouted "I love you Anna!" and with that the audience cheered. Those aspiring to work for Conde Nast (publisher of Vogue) should take note: Jonathan Tisch asked Anna what she looks for in employees, to which she replied:
"I hire on instincts. Someone I would want to hang out with, and someone who will disagree with me - not "yes" people. I am looking for people that can offer something that I can't offer myself."
For more on last night, we suggest visiting this bloggers recap. You can read about Anna's opinions on the First Lady, the future of fashion, Bryant Park and her new deal with Mayor Bloomberg to help the retail industry.
And because we can't resist, here's one more photo from the evening.

text: Red Sox Dump 'Rogue' Players in Dodgers Trade Adrian Gonzalez and Josh Beckett go to LA in 9-player trade By Neal Colgrass, Newser Staff Posted Aug 25, 2012 1:48 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (2) (Newser) – The Boston Red Sox removed a locker-room cancer and the Los Angeles Dodgers acquired three star players in a landmark 9-player trade today, USA Today reports. Initially the Dodgers wanted only first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, but the Red Sox added pitcher Josh Beckett, injured outfielder Carl Crawford, and $10 million, reports the LA Times. Gonzalez had led a locker room mutiny thus summer, reports Yahoo, and Beckett was an alleged slacker who facilitated Boston's implosion last season. With the trade, the Dodgers flexed their new financial muscle and filled a much-needed gap at first base during a heated division race. As for the Red Sox, they acquired first baseman James Loney, two young pitchers, an infielder, and an outfielder. More than $270 million in salaries exchanged sides overall. But it could be "toxic" for both teams, leaving Boston bereft of big bats and LA with bloated salaries, writes Gabe Lacques at USA Today: "Sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't make." Boston Red Sox's Adrian Gonzalez follows through on a two-run double in the first inning of a baseball game against the Baltimore Orioles in Boston, Thursday, June 7, 2012. The Red Sox won 7-0.

PHP continues to gain momentum as an easy and powerful application serving platform. The biggest recent news on the
PHP adoption front is Yahoo's announcement, which surprised many observers: Yahoo is turning to the open-source
technology to drive their web site (the largest in the world, so we think that validates PHP's ability to scale ;-).
In November, Netcraft reported that PHP was running on 9,866,075
domains (an increase of around 500,000 domains in two months), so the rise of PHP continues unabated.
PHP Everywhere, if you haven't visited, is a wonderful blog site that
tracks major developments in PHP. A recent article covered PHP in the
enterprise, describing issues as wide-ranging as performance, security,
extensibility, scalability and maintenance.
Finally, we'll wrap up with our traditional list of significant
organizations using PHP:
CapitalOne, NASA, the W3C, HP, Google, Deutsche Bank, Redhat,
Lycos, Cisco, Ericsson, Volvo, Motorola, SourceForge, Honda, Xoom,
WinAmp, Sony Music, Vodafone, CBS, Cap Gemini Ernst & Young,
the US Army, UPI, the New York Yankees, Southwestern Bell,
the San Diego Zoo, the Oakland Raiders, Audi, Subaru, VA Linux,
Winamp, Duke University, Quicken, The Village Voice, Undernet,
Access Micro, Columbus Dispatch, Indianapolis Star, Yahoo,
Indiana University, Deutsche Telecomm, Bang & Olufsen, Siemens,
Unilever, Philips, BMC, NTT, Air Canada, Lufthansa, Dialpad, BMC,
Mitsubishi, MP3.com, the Arizona Republic, Deloitte Consulting
By the way, if you missed it, a prior PHP Watch article (entitled
'The Business Case for PHP'), seemed to be very popular, turning up
at several software development sites. The article can be found at:

Netscape Navigator 9 Beta 2 – Impressions
Yesterday I've tried Netscape Navigator 9 Beta 2.
I was thinking to write much more about this web browser, but after using it for a while, it really makes not much point to do that. Why? Well… Let me begin then.
I've launched Netscape Navigator Beta 2 and thought that its interface is not very good as I don't like green color, but it's just me.
The more I used it, the more I felt it's actually a Firefox (yes, I know that this browser is Firefox based, but that's not the main point).
I actually see even no point to use this browser, unless you are hardly using Netscape.com. Usually when I am trying new browser I want some new features which makes that browser special and my favorite one, and Netscape Navigator is just another Firefox clone.
If you like Firefox, use Firefox, if you don't like Firefox, you won't like Netscape Navigator 9 too. If you are using Netscape.com very often, try it, you might actually like Netscape Navigator more than any other browser.
Not really much to say I guess.

The kids born out of the Gretzky craze -- we'll call them "The 99 Boomers" -- are developing into NHL prospects because the state of California built on the budding interest in the game even after Gretzky departed for St. Louis in 1996, eight years after he made hockey popular in the Golden State.
Long Beach native Emerson Etem will become the latest California-born and-trained player to hear his name called in the first round at the Entry Draft, except he have the honor of hearing it called mere miles from where he grew up as Staples Center is the host venue for the weekend's two-day event.
Jonathon Blum, a fellow Long Beach native, became the first California-born and trained player to be selected in the first round when Nashville took him with the 23rd pick in 2007. Four California players were selected in the '08 draft, and three others should get picked this weekend.
But how did this happen?
We know that Gretzky's arrival signaled the start of the hockey boom, and the Kings' drive to the Stanley Cup Final in 1993 put it over the top. But to become something of a State of Hockey, Kings President of Business Operations and Hockey Hall of Famer Luc Robitaille said everything at the youth level had to develop over time.
The coaching, Robitaille noted to NHL.com, "has improved tremendously in the last 10 years."
Former NHL players such as Nelson Emerson, Glen Murray, Jamie Storr, Craig Johnson, Dave Karpa and Brandon Convery are all coaching at the youth level in California, some in the now nationally recognized L.A. Junior Kings program.
Other former players are involved, such as Robitaille and the recently retired Rob Blake, who played 15 ½ of his 20 NHL seasons in California. Scott Niedermayer is also about to settle into retired life in Orange County.
"A lot of players live in So Cal now and they are all involved to some degree," Robitaille said. "It is crucial for the young players to get to meet some of these guys and to get coached by them also."
"I experienced it here (in San Jose) on Memorial Day weekend," Blake said. "My son played in a squirt hockey tourney and within a 40 to 50 mile radius there were probably 15 tournaments going on. That was non-existent when I got to L.A. (in 1990).
"There is the Junior Sharks program, the Junior Kings program -- they have allowed these kids to grow and mature and you're seeing these kids become draft eligible now. It's been great to see and it's continued. When you start setting up homes and living in these cities and having families the players come out and that helps in the development for sure."
The coaching has increased the visibility of the several of the major junior programs in California. According to USA Hockey, there were 8,094 youth players (through 18 years old) registered in California for the 2009-10 season. Another 12,310 adults were registered through USA Hockey.
The Jr. Kings have 16 teams under their umbrella and are now members of the Tier 1 Elite Hockey League, which is scouted heavily by the USHL and top collegiate programs in the U.S. The Anaheim Junior Ducks have 14 teams under their umbrella and the San Jose Junior Sharks have 16 teams.
These programs all have teams for female players as well.
"Youth hockey here is steadily growing in size and success," said Andrew Stone, a Minnesota native who is coaching in the L.A. Jr. Kings program. "It's sort of difficult being out here on an island -- many of our teams have to travel to Detroit, Minnesota, Ontario, etc. … a few times per season in order to play the more competitive teams -- but there has emerged a strong enough base and a continued growth to the point where there are now three or four clubs in Southern California that can compete nationally.
"I experienced it here (in San Jose) on Memorial Day weekend. My son played in a squirt hockey tourney and within a 40 to 50 mile radius there were probably 15 tournaments going on. That was non-existent when I got to L.A. (in 1990)" -- Rob Blake
Robitaille and Stone both said the Kings' resurgence into a playoff contender this season with young, personable stars like Drew Doughty and Anze Kopitar has fueled extra interest in the Jr. Kings program.
"We are already seeing a higher demand in all of our leagues," Robitaille said.
Stone also said the United States' success at the Olympics has a lot to do with that.
"That really had hockey at the forefront and in the mainstream discussion for the first time since I've moved here about seven or eight years ago," Stone said.
In Orange County, Anaheim's Stanley Cup run in 2007 gave the Junior Ducks program a big boost.
"We saw between a 15 percent and 20 percent spike when the Ducks won the Cup, and we have been very fortunate to keep those kids," said Art Trottier, President of the Junior Ducks program. "There are some very talented kids coming out of California and it will only get better with time. Every year there are a few more."

Apples beget apples, but can machines beget machines? Today it takes an elaborate manufacturing apparatus to build even a simple machine. Could we endow an artificial device with the ability to multiply on its own? Selfreplication has long been considered one of the fundamental properties separating the living from the nonliving. Historically our limited understanding of how biological reproduction works has given it an aura of mystery and made it seem unlikely that it would ever be done by a man-made object. It is reported that when René Descartes averred to Queen Christina of Sweden that animals were just another form of mechanical automata, Her Majesty pointed to a clock and said, "See to it that it produces off spring."
The problem of machine self-replication moved from philosophy into the realm of science and engineering in the late 1940s with the work of eminent mathematician and physicist John von Neumann. Some researchers have actually constructed physical replicators. Almost 50 years ago, for example, geneticist Lionel Penrose and his son, Roger (the famous physicist), built small assemblies of plywood that exhibited a simple form of self-replication. But self-replication has proved to be so difficult that most researchers study it with the conceptual tool that von Neumann developed: two-dimensional cellular automata.
Implemented on a computer, cellular automata can simulate a huge variety of self-replicators in what amount to austere universes with different laws of physics from our own. Such models free researchers from having to worry about logistical issues such as energy and physical construction so that they can focus on the fundamental questions of information flow. How is a living being able to replicate unaided, whereas mechanical objects must be constructed by humans? How does replication at the level of an organism emerge from the numerous interactions in tissues, cells and molecules? How did Darwinian evolution give rise to self-replicating organisms?
The emerging answers have inspired the development of self-repairing silicon chips [see box on pages 54 and 55] and autocatalyzing molecules. And this may be just the beginning. Researchers in the field of nanotechnology have long proposed that self-replication will be crucial to manufacturing molecular-scale machines, and proponents of space exploration see a macroscopic version of the process as a way to colonize planets using in situ materials. Recent advances have given credence to these futuristic-sounding ideas. As with other scientific disciplines, including genetics, nuclear energy and chemistry, those of us who study self-replication face the twofold challenge of creating replicating machines and avoiding dystopian predictions of devices running amok. The knowledge we gain will help us separate good technologies from destructive ones.

Have a problem with mildew or mold in your home on walls or other hard surfaces? Have a towel or another article of clothing that was left damp and mildewed? Bleach will not kill the mildew or mold. It just bleaches out the color. Use Borax (20 Mule Team Borax) and if using it on a hard surface, make a thick paste by adding a bit of water and apply it to the mold or mildew. Let it air dry and wipe/wash off. Add as directed to your laundry, it will kill mildew in towels and such. It works!
Tea tree oil: A useful alternative to chemical products, add 50 drops of this essential oil (found at health food stores) to a bucket of water to clean countertops and tile floors, and add it directly to vinegar/water solutions for its antibacterial properties, which are useful for killing mold and
Spray it with vinegar. Mildew on grout is no match for that miracle household cleaning dynamo called vinegar. Just pour somewhite vinegar into a container, dip in an old toothbrush, and scrub away at the mildew. Or pour the vinegar into a spray bottle, squirt it on the mildew, and let it sit for ten minutes. Rinse with water and apply the old toothbrush if necessary. Bleach is effective in removing mildew from tile grout. (con't)432
Mildew stains may be removed from leather with vaseline rubbed in well with a clean piece of flannel

The majority of all inpatient admissions into the facility originate from the Emergency Room or from a scheduled
surgical procedure. All requirements for these services can be found in their respective sections.
Direct Admissions can occur when a patient is seen in their Physician's office and the Physician requests the patient
be admitted to the hospital directly from their office. When this occurs, the patient should present to Central Registration
with the following to expedite the process:
Our community hospital is one of many firsts starting with the Emergency Department. Our hospital ER is known for being the
first in the region to care for patients 24 hours/7 days a week.
The Registration staff will then begin the registration process which includes verifying insurance benefits, obtaining authorization
from the respective insurance company for anticipated services, and requesting the appropriate type of bed from the Nursing Staff.
