Sandusky a victim only in his own mind
Jerry Sandusky had one final indignity to foist upon his victims.
Sandusky on Tuesday painted himself as a victim, even as he was painted into a corner of the penal system reserved for society's vilest members. Convicted of molesting 10 boys during a 15-year period, the notorious predator received a prison sentence that will keep him locked up, at minimum, until he is 98 years old.
Clad in red inmate garb, the former Penn State assistant football coach took center stage in the Centre County courtroom for what likely was one of his final public utterances. The moment cried out for contrition, for apology, for acknowledgment at the endgame that he at least was cognizant of the depth of his depravity.
Didn't happen.
Sandusky observed three of the people he assaulted take the stand to relate how their lives were forever altered by his monstrous deeds. He then delivered a vainglorious monologue in which he incredibly asserted that the person who was wronged in this whole sordid affair was the fellow who was speaking.
He reiterated the claim, first made on Monday in a taped broadcast on the Penn State student radio station, that he was the victim of an extraordinarily vast conspiracy that stopped just short of involving Russian mobsters and tentacled extraterrestrials.
In good ol' Jerry's eyes, the sinister cabal included:
• Greedy guys (looking to profit by fabricating tales of his feral affections toward them).
• Investigators (irrationally fixated on his innocent habit of showering with minors).
• His longtime employer, Penn State (which failed to support him when these false claims first arose, other than attempting to cover them up and having two top administrators allegedly perjure themselves. Some help all of that was.)
• The media (which sensationalized the story when it should have been reporting on Afghanistan or something).
• Civil attorneys (looking to profit by working in concert with — and bringing the conspiracy full circle back to — the greedy guys).
About the only person escaping blame in this game was Sandusky's adopted adult son, Matt Sandusky, who told prosecutors he was willing to testify that he had been molested as a youth. Although Matt Sandusky clearly was part of the conspiracy, perhaps his father spared his son any admonishment out of gratitude that he never took the stand.
The real victims deserved better than Sandusky's self-serving claim of victimhood and innocence, his avoidance of accountability, his nauseating narcissism. They certainly can't be blamed if they hope his preference for prison accommodations pans out.
Sandusky has expressed a desire to be housed with the general population at the correctional facility where he will spend the rest of his days. That's an extremely unwise — some would say stupid — stance for an unrepentant child molester to take.
Sandusky considers himself a victim now?
Wait till he sees what happens if his wish is granted.

Beau Condie (second right) shares his excitement with his friends at being chosen as as a contestant for 'The Price is Right.' The segment aired last Tuesday.
- Filed Under
Southern Utah University student Beau Condie heard those famous words, "Come on down," with his name attached and won more than $6,000 in prizes during a trip with his friends to be in the audience of "The Price Is Right" last fall. That segment was aired just last week.
Condie, a junior at SUU majoring in biology with a pre-med emphasis, said he went to Hollywood with three friends during SUU's fall break in October. He and his roommate, Jon Frehner, watched the show together regularly and joked about being on it. So when Frehner got some tickets, the group of four that also included Evan Whipple ...

Reinsurance is a process in which other companies take over some of the risk that insurance companies have taken on, in exchange for payment. It is commonly called insurance for insurance companies.
Expanded Definition
Companies issuing insurance policies run the risk of having to pay out a lot of money (perhaps more than they can get their hands on) if circumstances bring a widespread disaster, like Hurricane Katrina in 2005, that inflicts massive damage on the people and property they have insured. Here's a small-scale example: To manage risk, a company wants to insure homes dotted along Maple, Elm, and Oak streets. It doesn't want to insure all the houses on Maple Street, because a fire that hits one could spread and destroy them all.
One way insurance companies reduce their exposure is through "reinsurance" -- paying other companies to take on some of their risk. The reinsurance companies then invest the money to make more money. And, of course, hope they don't have to pay out a lot to cover claims. They also do lots of research to help them pick what appear to be low-risk endeavors.
Reinsurance is an international business and the trade group Reinsurance Association of America provides information about it.
Reinsurance companies operate in different ways and employ their own unique balance of risk and reward. A well-known example of such a firm is General Re Corp., owned by Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. (The "Re" stands for reinsurance and is in the names of several reinsurance companies.)

SOUTH KINGSTOWN - Ask any South Kingstown baseball player under the age of 13 to name their favorite baseball player, and you'll likely get answers such as "David Ortiz," "Dustin Pedroia," and, should they venture outside the hallowed city limits of Boston and the friendly confines of Fenway, "Derek Jeter." Each of those names, however, will not be the answer given by South Kingstown Little League's only girl player in the Majors division. Her answer would seem out of time.
Ask Ella Denny Prescott what her first love is, and she'll point to her family. Ask her again, only this time ask her to specify a sport, and she'll say she has a tough time deciding between basketball and baseball. Little wonder. She excels at both. Having just wrapped up the traveling basketball season, her full attention has now turned to baseball. And with good results.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN - Ask any South Kingstown baseball player under the age of 13 to name their favorite baseball player, and you'll likely get answers such as "David Ortiz," "Dustin Pedroia," and, should they venture outside the hallowed city limits of Boston and the friendly confines of Fenway, "Derek Jeter." Each of those names, however, will not be the answer given by South Kingstown Little League's only girl player in the Majors division. Her answer would seem out of time.
Ask Ella Denny Prescott what her first love is, and she'll point to her family. Ask her again, only this time ask her to specify a sport, and she'll say she has a tough time deciding between basketball and baseball. Little wonder. She excels at both. Having just wrapped up the traveling basketball season, her full attention has now turned to baseball. And with good results.
The blue-eyed, 5-foot, two-inch 11-year-old regularly plays shortstop and has also tried her hand at pitching. While her fastball tops out at 58 mph, she has also been working on a curve and knuckleball. But through the years, it's been her batting that she has seen most improve.
In a Majors baseball game played between Hughes Fence and Golden Gormly, on Thursday, May 15, Ella hit a line drive toward left center of the upper field at Tuckertown Park. The ball went over the fence for a one-run home run. By all accounts, the home run may have marked the first time in South Kingstown Little League (SKLL) history that a girl has actually parked one. Although SKLL has not kept individual player statistics through the years, according to SKLL President Frank Gallucci, as far back as he can recall, "This is the first home run by a female majors player."
She hit her second one the following Friday.
A female playing baseball in Little League is a somewhat rare occurrence. The first female player to have played on a Little League baseball team is believed to have been Kathryn Johnston, who in 1950 tucked her hair under her cap and pretended to be a boy. She made a Corning, N.Y. team. The following year Little League changed the rule book to read that girls were explicitly not allowed to participate on baseball teams. A New Jersey court's ruling in 1974, however, opened the way for girls to participate on Little League baseball teams and also led to the formation of a Little League softball division.
This year, about 460,000 females from 20-plus countries will play on Little League teams, with the great majority of them playing softball. In the history of the Little League World Series, only 16 girls have participated, the latest being Eliska Stejskalova representing the Europe-Africa region in 2013. That same year about 1,200 females participated on U.S. high school baseball teams compared to 470,000 boys.
In a sport dominated so overwhelmingly by the boys of summer, the question has to be asked: Has Ella ever encountered any difficulty playing in a male sport? With a simple "Not really," she replies.
"I don't think about that too much," she said.
"Not at all," says her mother, Sue. "The coaches have been supportive and the players have been very accepting. She's been treated well. Can't complain at all."
"The boys on the team don't think of her as being the only girl on the team," says Golden-Gormly Coach Pete Podedworny. "They just think of her as another team member, who can pitch, and catch, and hit home runs. They are genuinely excited for her when she does well. She has been a pleasure to coach and she will be a good leader for the team next year."
How do Ella's teammates feel about a girl player on the team?
Justin Bader, who regularly plays catcher, says that "Its fine. Its just like playing with any other player. And we talk about the game after and just have fun."
Says TJ Murphy, first baseman: "Sometimes its funny watching the guys' faces on the other team, when she pitches. When they strike out they look surprised that she can blow the ball by them . . . baseball's a game and she plays it well."
Justin agrees, having been the recipient of several of Ella's pitches. If they were in a position to give advice?
"Keep at it," says TJ. "Even though some people might say 'This is a boys' game' or 'You should go for softball,' keep going at it because if you like to do this, just do it."
"Go with your heart," says Justin.
Asked what it is that drives her, Ella replies: "I want to get better."
And like her smile, which has the power to light up a room, the answer belies the fire and passion underneath. She will eagerly go the extra mile to improve. From taking extra batting practice to throwing on a daily basis, and, yes, even pushups and running. Her athletic ability and team-oriented attitude are not in doubt. She was a member of the town tournament basketball team that this spring won the state championship. Ella was also selected to SKLL Baseball 2013 and 2014 District All Star teams. Coach Podedworny says that her willingness to hone her abilities at home has translated into success on the baseball diamond. In addition, he says, she is "tough as nails," having been hit by a few pitches and line drives over the course of the season, yet "not once did she ever ask to be taken out or let it affect her play."
Says another coach: "She's a leader, albeit a quiet one. Upon being given instruction in practices, she always looks introspective, silent. Often, nuanced little details endure, linger. Essentially, that's how athletes navigate. Ella's manner mesmerizes you. Having a passion, practice is never excessively strenuous. She's always leading with a yielding style. Leading by example."
Her attitude and approach to team play have made for an exemplary pupil. Those who have coached her before agree: "How can you not make a commitment to someone who gives you her all, her full attention, and takes your instruction to heart? To someone who 'buys into' what you are teaching? You buy into her because she's bought into you. Sure she has things yet to learn about the game. But she's only 11, and that's why we coach. She displays a maturity beyond her years, is intelligent, quickly grasps instruction, and is self-motivated. What else can a coach ask for? How can a coach, and more generally a teacher, not be impressed by that, quite apart from her natural athletic ability? And here's where the metaphor of baseball imitating life kicks in: Everything she displays on that field, the attitude she brings with her, will make her a success on the diamond as well as off of it."
As most parents know, however, individual player success in a childhood sport is not all individual effort. Baseball is, perhaps like any childhood sport, a family affair. The commitment of Ella's mother, Sue, there for each and every game, enduring the rain and cold of Ella's extra batting, fielding and pitching practices, driving her to and from both (along with the help of Ella's sister Haylee), has been unshakeable. And it has been a key ingredient to Ella's development, both in baseball and basketball.
To those who have seen her play Ella Prescott is an inspiration. She is emblematic to those who want to see a girl play in Little League and, more than that, see her succeed. The cheers gather round her. "Ella, yes!" comes the yell from a complete (male) stranger in the crowd watching Golden-Gormly's first playoff game. She's just hit a double. Her personal wish? To inspire other girls who want to play baseball, but for one reason or another don't.
Ella has one more year of little league eligibility left, and fully intends to play out that last year. So what does the future hold beyond Little League?
"I don't really know," says Ella. After little league the future becomes cloudy, and she's not thinking that far ahead. But whatever the future may bring, says her mom,
"My hope is that she ends up doing what makes her happy," she said. That she lands "wherever her heart takes her."
On whatever path her heart does place her in the future, to those who have seen her play Ella's past will not be soon forgotten.
Move over boys. There's a new girl in town.
And, her favorite baseball player?
Why, Jackie Robinson, of course.
Abran Salazar resides in South Kingstown. He has coached Little League teams for 15 years and is employed by the University of Rhode Island.

|Organellar and cytosolic localization of four phosphoribosyl diphosphate synthase isozymes in spinach.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 9952445 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Four cDNAs encoding phosphoribosyl diphosphate (PRPP) synthase were isolated from a spinach (Spinacia oleracea) cDNA library by complementation of an Escherichia coli Deltaprs mutation. The four gene products produced PRPP in vitro from ATP and ribose-5-phosphate. Two of the enzymes (isozymes 1 and 2) required inorganic phosphate for activity, whereas the others were phosphate independent. PRPP synthase isozymes 2 and 3 contained 76 and 87 amino acid extensions, respectively, at their N-terminal ends in comparison with other PRPP synthases. Isozyme 2 was synthesized in vitro and shown to be imported and processed by pea (Pisum sativum) chloroplasts. Amino acid sequence analysis indicated that isozyme 3 may be transported to mitochondria and that isozyme 4 may be located in the cytosol. The deduced amino acid sequences of isozymes 1 and 2 and isozymes 3 and 4 were 88% and 75% identical, respectively. In contrast, the amino acid identities of PRPP synthase isozyme 1 or 2 with 3 or 4 was modest (22%-25%), but the sequence motifs for binding of PRPP and divalent cation-nucleotide were identified in all four sequences. The results indicate that PRPP synthase isozymes 3 and 4 belong to a new class of PRPP synthases that may be specific to plants.

Aftershock hits N West townshipComment on this story
Orkney, North West - An aftershock hit the township of Khuma, near Orkney in the North West on Tuesday evening, which was the epicentre of an earlier 5.5 magnitude earthquake.
People gathered outside one of the houses that was destroyed during the quake and screamed as the ground shook.
Emergency personnel who were removing belongings from the house evacuated the yard.
Residents lined the streets of the township to assess the damages to their homes.
North West premier Supra Mahumapelo said earlier that at least 400 houses in the area had been damaged in the earthquake.
"We have heard of 400 houses that have been affected in the area," he said.
The earthquake was felt in most parts of the country.
Mahumapelo said other parts of the North West were also affected but Khuma was the hardest hit.
"The preliminary report is that the problem is bigger in Matlosana," he said.
Mahumapelo said he was in a meeting in Mahikeng when the earthquake struck and buildings had to be evacuated. Upon hearing of the destruction, he rushed to the area to see first hand the kind of damage caused.
He said it was the responsibility of government to assist those affected.
"It is the responsibility of government to make sure we take care of our people. I have spoken to the Matlosana municipality along with the provincial departments of safety, local government and finances to see how best the people can be assisted," he said.
Mahumapelo met two women whose houses were destroyed and assured them that government would provide a place of safety for them and their families to sleep for the night.
He told Mamosa Melato, who was inside her house when parts of it collapsed, that a plan would be made regarding how best to rebuild their lives and houses.
Melato said she and her husband were both unemployed and could not afford to rebuild their house.

Did You Know This About Medicaid?
Federally Facilitated Exchange (FFE) Fact Sheet
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is working to build new health insurance marketplaces called Exchanges. Consumers and small businesses in every state (including the District of Columbia) will have access to a marketplace. All Exchanges will launch open enrollment in October 2013. Please click on the following link to read the latest FFE Fact Sheet: http://cciio.cms.gov/resources/files/Files2/FFE Progress fact sheet.pdf
Proposed Rule: Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters (CMS-9964-P)
This proposed rule would establish parameters for several programs including reinsurance, risk corridors, and risk adjustment (the "3 R's") and would provide additional regulatory guidance, such as adjustments to the MLR calculation.
Paper and Materials
• Fact sheet (posted on cciio.cms.gov and CMS newsroom)
• Internal Q&A (available upon request)
Additionally, for your information: Today the Office of Personnel Management published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to implement the Multi-State Plan Program (MSPP) pursuant to section 1334 of the Affordable Care Act. Additional information may be found here: http://www.opm.gov/insure/mspp/index.asp
Administration Releases Rules Pertaining to the Health Insurance Market Reforms, Essential Health Benefits and Employment-based Wellness Programs
Today, the Obama Administration issued proposed rules to implement Affordable Care Act provisions that would make it illegal for insurance companies to discriminate against people with pre-existing conditions, and make it easier for consumers to compare health plans and employers to promote and encourage employee wellness.
The proposed rules include:
• "Market Rules" that would prohibit health insurance companies from discriminating against individuals because of a pre-existing or chronic condition, beginning in 2014. Under this rule, insurance companies would be allowed to vary premiums within limits, only based on age, tobacco use, family size, and geography. In addition, health insurance companies would be prohibited from denying coverage to any American because of a pre-existing condition or from charging higher premiums to certain enrollees because of their current or past health problems, gender, occupation, and small employer size or industry. The rule also would ensure that young adults and people for whom coverage would otherwise be unaffordable have access to a catastrophic plan in the individual market. For more information regarding this rule, visit http://www.ofr.gov/OFRUpload/OFRData/2012-28428_PI.pdf.
• "Essential Health Benefits", outlining policies and standards for coverage of essential health benefits, while giving states more flexibility to implement the Affordable Care Act. Essential health benefits are a core set of benefits that would give consumers a consistent way to compare health plans in the individual and small group markets. A companion letter on the flexibility in implementing the essential health benefits in Medicaid was also sent to states. For more information regarding this rule, visit http://www.ofr.gov/OFRUpload/OFRData/2012-28362_PI.pdf.
• "Wellness", implementing and expanding employment-based wellness programs to promote health and help control health care spending, while also ensuring that individuals are protected from unfair underwriting practices that could otherwise reduce benefits based on health status.

HHS Announces Medicare Premium, Deductibles, and Coinsurance Amounts for 2013
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today announced the Medicare Part A and Part B premiums, deductibles and coinsurance amounts for 2013.
The Medicare Part B standard premium in 2013 will be $104.90, a slight increase over last year's premium of $99.90, and the Part B deductible will be $147. Medicare Part B covers physicians' services, outpatient hospital services, certain home health services, durable medical equipment, and other items.
HHS also announced a decrease in Medicare Part A monthly premiums as well as modest increases in the Part A deductible. Monthly premiums for Medicare Part A, which pays for inpatient hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and some home health care, are paid by about 1 percent of beneficiaries who do not automatically qualify for Medicare.
• Medicare Part A monthly premiums will be $441 for 2013, a decrease of $10 from 2012.
• The Part A deductible paid by beneficiaries when admitted as a hospital inpatient will be $1,184 in 2013, an increase of $28 from last year's deductible of $1,156.
The Federal Register posting can be found at: www.ofr.gov/inspection.aspx

Starting October 15, 2012: Medicare Open Enrollment Begins
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced today that people with Medicare have more high quality choices and the performance of Medicare Advantage plans is improving. CMS also released the 2013 quality ratings for Medicare health and drug plans on the web-based Medicare Plan Finder. Beginning today, and throughout the Open Enrollment Period, people with Medicare can use the star ratings to compare the quality of health and drug plan options and select the plans that are the best value based on their needs in 2013.
In 2013:
- People with Medicare will have access to 127 four- or five-star Medicare Advantage plans. These plans currently serve 37 percent of Medicare Advantage enrollees, and may attract more with their improved quality ratings. In 2012, people with Medicare had access to 106 four or five star plans, which served only 28 percent of enrollees.
- People with Medicare will have access to 26 four or five star prescription drug plans, which currently serve 18 percent of enrollees. This is an improvement from 2012, in which 13 four or five star plans are serving only 9 percent of enrollees.
Medicare plans are given an overall rating on a 1 to 5 star scale, with 1 star representing poor performance and 5 stars representing excellent performance. Users of the Plan Finder will also see a gold star icon designating the top rated 5-star plans, and a different icon for those plans who are consistently poor performers.
At the same time that quality is improving and benefits are increasing, premiums in the Medicare Advantage program are remaining steady. Since the Affordable Care Act was passed in 2010 through 2013, Medicare Advantage premiums have fallen by 10 percent and enrollment is increasing by 28 percent. The average estimated basic Medicare prescription drug plan (PDP) premium is projected to hold steady from last year, at $30 for 2013.
Medicare Open Enrollment runs from October 15th through December 7th. For more information about Open Enrollment, please visit:
A press release on today's announcement will be available at: http://www.hhs.gov/news
For a fact sheet and details about the 2013 Part C and D Plan Quality Ratings released today, please visit:

What's next in digital marketing?
As many Smarter Marketing readers already know, the past couple months have been a traveling circus for yours truly, with the Online Marketing Summit visiting 18 cities to date (and with three left on the West Coast). It's made finding the hot, interesting topics easy for me each month. All I do is listen to the questions asked, like at our end-of-day "Big Brands, Big Plans" keynote panel, and translate the answers and lessons.
The question of "what's next?" seems to come up in every city. What's next in digital marketing? What should we be looking out for? What will be the next big thing? These aren't bad questions, as it shows marketers' never-ending curiosity with the new and cool.
What's next is "now." We're adopting technology and online media so fast that the only thing we can possibly do is get in the flow of what's happening here and now. What's next really is how to be nimble, flexible, and smart enough to get in the flow of now before great market share and brand leadership opportunities pass you by.
Now, Not How
Now is a perfect example of what's wrong with marketing and the old-guard advertising world. Those who have been in marketing and advertising for a long time have a tendency (rightfully so) to preach the gospel of what to do and why to do it rather seeking the answers like their newer, hungrier, and significantly younger staff.
If you talk all the time, you aren't listening. If you aren't listening, you aren't learning. And if you aren't learning, you're calcifying.
The only thing that stops that process is a major revelation -- or a broken bone. Where we're forced to learn, we stay flexible and, if possible, we reverse the calcification process.
Now, Not Before Then
So many of us are like my five-month-old son. He's so curious about everything around him, suddenly turning his head to whatever happens to catch his attention at the moment. Even when he's feeding and desperately hungry, he gets distracted by the sounds and sights of the now and forgets the important task at hand.
We marketers have the same natural curious tendencies, and we easily lose focus on the important and fundamental tasks at hand.
Perhaps 90 percent of us marketing professionals (myself included) haven't done the job when it comes to the three pillars of digital marketing: e-mail, analytics, and search. Because we've been trained to think about the next big campaign, we start building the next cool e-mail marketing campaign to wow our audiences with. Or we build a Facebook application, group, or page to get into the social networking game. And on it goes.
Answering questions like the following can help you stay in the now:
Now Is Forever
Looking at the big picture, at these fundamental elements and how the improvements to such things as our Web site can give returns for years to come (if not forever), should help justify the time and resources. We all need to get a lot better at the fundamentals before we spend so much time on the fun stuff.
I'm not saying you shouldn't build a Facebook groups page. But we must continually work on the fundamentals to make sure that all the cool new stuff we do works in tandem with the foundation.
Much like any particular sport, you must have a thorough grasp on the fundamentals, such as dribbling, free-throw shooting, passing, and shooting, before you do the really fun stuff, like the double-pump reverse dunk. If all you focused on was the dunk, how many basketball games would you win?
Join us for a one-day Online Marketing Summit in a city near you from May 5, 2009, to July 1, 2009. Choose from one of 16 events designed to help interactive marketers do their jobs more effectively.

How To Make a Pillow Pet
We are adding the pattern to your Sewing Patterns.
The pattern was added to your Sewing Patterns.
Click here to view your Sewing Patterns.
You've seen these popular pillow pets everywhere. Now you can make a homemade pillow pet using this free sewing pattern for pillow pets! It's so simple to make this pillowcase and it's easy to remove for washing. The kids will love this cute project. Watch Maureen Wilson lead you through each step of this project in the video tutorial below.
- 1 yd. fuzzy knit
- 1/3 yd. fleece (face & feet)
- Doll eyes (optional, you could use fleece)
- 2-inch craft pom (nose)
- Embroidery floss & hand needle (mouth)
- Poly-fill
- Pillow to cover
Pieces to Cut:
- Top: Pillow width + 1 in. x Pillow length + 1 in. (Measurement #1)
- Back Left & Right: Measurement #1 + 12 in., cut in half vertically
- Head: Trace dinner plate, cut 2
- Muzzle: Trace bowl or saucer, cut 1 (fleece)
- Straps: 4 x 8, cut 2
- Feet: 5 x 5, cut 4, then cut diagonally for 8 triangles (fleece)
- Tail: 4 x 7, cut 2
- Ears: 3 in. at base, 7 in. long, cut 2 from pattern and 2 from fleece
- Velcro: 5 inches of 1-inch Velcro
How To:
First let's talk about fabric. I've chosen a fuzzy knit print. Choose one that has some stretch to it. If you are looking for it at the store, the name brand for this style is called Minky.
I'm using fleece for my face, inner ears, and feet. Fleece is a good choice because it won't fray, and it has a little stretch to it. If you'd like, you can make the entire pillowcase out of fleece.
- We'll start with the face. I traced a large dinner plate for the head, and cut two. Then I made a muzzle by tracing a bowl onto felt.
- Pin the muzzle to one head piece, a couple of inches from the bottom edge. Sew in place using a zig-zag stitch. (A zig-zag stitch allows the fabric to stretch a little more.)
- Give your pillow pal some eyes. I'm using a set of safety doll eyes, but you could sew fleece or button ones if you'd rather.
- Next make a mouth. I'm sewing one on with red embroidery floss, using a backstitch. However, you could also choose to cut one from fleece and sew that on.
- Add a 2-inch craft pom for the nose. Be sure to sew it on very well, because it's certain to get tugged on.
- Now we'll move on to the ears. I cut 4 raindrop shapes for my ears, two from my print and two from fleece. You can change the shape if you'd like… you could easily turn this into a cat or a bear by making triangle or circle ears instead.
- Pin the print and the fleece pieces right sides together and sew, leaving the base of the ear open for turning.
- Notch the seams, being careful not to snip your stitches. Turn right side out.
- Pin the unsewn base of the ears to the head. Be sure the ears are pointing inward. Print should be facing up.
- Then, lay the other head circle face-down on top. Pin in place. Sew around the circle, leaving a 3-inch hole for turning at the bottom.
- Turn right side out and stuff with poly-fill. Hand-sew the hole shut using a blind stitch.
Pillowcase Front:
- Measure your pillow, and add one inch to the dimensions. We'll call this Measurement #1. Cut one print piece to those dimensions. For example, my pillow is 25 inches long and 18 inches wide. So I'm cutting my fabric to 26 x 19 inches. (My pillow is only a couple of inches thick, and since this fabric stretches, I'm not going to add extra fabric for the height. If your pillow is very fluffy, you may want to cut your fabric a couple of inches larger to accommodate.)
Pillowcase Back:
- Cut a piece for the back that is Measurement #1, plus 12 inches wider. (For example, mine was cut to 25 inches long and 30 inches wide.) Then cut this piece in half vertically. (Giving me two pieces that are 25 x 15 inches.)
- Fold in one long edge a half inch, then fold over itself again, encasing the raw edge. Pin in place. Do this for the other back piece as well.
- Sew each of the back pieces along the long folded edge to secure.
Velcro Straps:
- Next we'll make the straps. (When the straps are together, it gives the Pillow Pal shape and makes him look like he's standing.) Cut two pieces of print fabric to 4 x 8 inches.
- Fold in half lengthwise and pin. Sew along the top and open edge with a 1/2 inch seam, leaving the bottom open. Turn right side out.
- Sew a strip of Velcro to each of the strap pieces.
- Cut a tail for your pet. This puppy tail is about 7 inches long. Pin right sides together and sew, leaving the base open for turning. Turn right side out and stuff, leaving 1/2 inch at the bottom for sewing.
- Now we'll make the feet. Cut 4 5×5 inch squares. Cut these diagonally, creating 8 triangles. Pin one triangle to each corner of the top piece. Then pin the remaining triangles to the two back pieces, one in the upper corner and one in the lower, opposite from the side with the finished edge.
- Sew the triangles on the diagonal to secure, using a zig-zag stitch.
Assembling Pillowcase:
- Now it's time to put it all together. Lay the top pillowcase piece face up.
- Pin the strap pieces to the center of the long sides, one on the left and one on the right. Be certain that one strap has the Velcro face-up, and one strap has the Velcro face-down. Pin the tail to the center of one short end. Be sure the tail is pointing inward.
- Lay one back piece face down on top of it, with the finished edge towards the center. The triangles should match up in the corners. Pin in place.
- Lay the remaining back piece face-down on top, lining up the triangle corners. You'll notice that this overlaps the other back piece. (This is so that we don't have to add Velcro or tie closures.)
- Sew all the way around with a 1/2 inch seam. Turn right side out. Hand-sew the head to the end opposite the tail. Insert pillow.
This pillowcase only cost me $9 to make, and my little guy loves it. What kind of Pillow Pal will you make?

I made a zebra for my granddaughter, Zoe, as a prototype for our Toys for Tots contribution. It worked beautifully. But my 20 month old granddaughter forced a change to your design. I finished the head first. Instantly, Zoe snatched it and carried it under her arm around the house. I finished the pillow cover and she dragged that into the living room, grabbed her blanket and curled up with the zebra head. After she left, hubby and I laughed about her and her pillow fetish. Then it dawned on me to Velcro the head to the cover. I sewed the Velcro loop side on the pillow and the hook on the head. This way we can wash the cover without it sticking to everything in the load. It was a great solution. Zoe loves the sound of the toy coming off the pillow and she likes putting it back on again. The spotted cat and pink striped dog are delivered to the US Marines for a deserving child. Thank you for the instructions.

DENVER — Colorado Attorney General John Suthers said today that a Federal Trade Commission report on participation in the federal Do Not Call Registry for the 2009 fiscal year indicates that Coloradans are highly informed about their rights under the program.
"The fact that Colorado has the highest registration rate in the federal Do Not Call Registry is an encouraging sign that Colorado consumers are highly aware of their rights and are taking advantage of this federal resource," Suthers said. "Colorado's high participation rate also highlights the vigorous consumer-education efforts our office and our partners have engaged in since the creation of the Do Not Call Registry."
According to the report more than 3.8 million Coloradans, or 78,528 per 100,000 residents, had registered their phone numbers with the program as of Sept. 30. Between Oct. 1, 2008 and Sept. 30, 2009, Coloradans filed 29,342 complaints, or 594 complaints per 100,000 residents, with the federal registry, according to the report.
As of Sept. 30, the Colorado No Call Registry, which is separate from the federal registry, had more than 3.3 million Colorado telephone numbers registered with the program. Between, Oc. 1, 2008 and Sept. 30, 2009, Coloradans filed 4,363 complaints with the state registry.
"I would encourage any Coloradan not registered with the state and federal No Call registries to go online today and sign up," Suthers said. "Telephone and telemarketing fraud, especially around the holidays, is one of the areas Coloradans can limit their exposure. Registering for the state and federal No Call registries can help diminish the amount of common telephone scams you and your family encounter."
The Office of the Attorney General is responsible for enforcement of the state's No Call Registry. Consumers can enroll in the Colorado No Call Registry or file a complaint by visiting www.coloradonocall.com or by calling 1-800-456-0858. (Learn more about the Colorado No Call Registry at www.coloradoattorneygeneral.gov/nocall.) Consumers can enroll in the federal Do Not Call Registry or file a complaint by visiting www.donotcall.gov.

updated 06:30 pm EST, Thu November 12, 2009
Xbox 360 fall update due next week
Microsoft today confirmed that its Xbox 360 fall update should go live for all users next week, on November 17th. The upgrade will give those outside of the preview program the major features promised in late spring, including Facebook and Twitter, Last.fm streaming and 1080p Zune Marketplace videos.
Music game owners also receive a special music store to download extra tracks and other content for Guitar Hero, Rock Band and other series.
The update will be free for all current Xbox 360 owners and should only require booting the console once the update is available. Social networking components will only be available to those whose Xbox Live account holders are listed as being over 18, though Microsoft promises parental controls to unlock the feature.

Vintage Brut Champagne: 1998 & 1997
First impressions can be misleading, but they do to confirm my feelings at vin clair stage. Neither year was a great vintage, but like 1992 and 1993 I suspect that we will see a large number of very good Champagnes and not a few truly excellent one. That is because they were large harvests and with strict selection it was easy to blend wines well above the average quality. Furthermore, if we see as many producers declaring these two vintages as we did 1992 and 1993, it is easier for pundits to find the wines that stick out in terms of pure quality. In terms of fruit, structure and acidity 1998 seems to mirror 1993 while 1997 is similar to 1992. In theory the 1997s have a slight edge over the 1998s, just as the 1992s had over the 1993s, yet it was a close call and quite possibly the 1993s will eventually be seen to have triumphed, so who knows? Especially as the earliest that the 1998s can be commercially disgorged is January 2002 and we won't see many examples of this vintage on the shelf until the second quarter of 2003. The 1998 here is, of course, a preview sample.

85 Gallimard Père & Fils 1997 Cuvée Prestige, Brut Millésime
Vintage Brut Champagne: 1996
The problem with announcing that any vintage is special is that it will be a long time before the first wines hit the market, thus anticipation inevitably builds up, yet the first Champagnes to be released of any vintage are unlikely to be the best, consequently hopes are often dashed. It happened with the 1990s, but look how great those turned out to be (and some like Krug are not expected to be launched for a year or more). We are now only just beginning to see the start of the first wave of 1996s. There is some dross, as there always will be, whatever the vintage, but after they have been eliminated we are left with some exceptionally fine offerings for such an early juncture in the campaign. I am more convinced than ever that 1996 could well be greater than 1990.

Vintage Brut Champagne: 1995
The extra maturity of the 1993s and 1992s made the best Champagnes from those years seem better than the 1995s last year, but we are now into the full swing of this vintage and it is blossoming beautifully. Not only is this vintage showing more class in general than either 1993 or 1992, it is turning out to be even better than 1995 was expected to be, and there are a number of top-notch 1995s still to come

Vintage Brut Champagne: 1994
The worst of the lesser vintages between the great 1990s and the excellent 1995s, all four of which were spoiled by rain at harvest time. Nothing this year to challenge Louis Roederer Cristal (92 points) from the last edition.
85 La Préférence de Baron Albert 1994 Brut Millésime
82 Louis Roederer 1994 Brut Vintage
Vintage Brut Champagne: 1993
On paper the ripeness and acidity levels achieved during this vintage are less favourable than those of 1992. Tasted blind two years apart Dom Pérignon edges out Louis Roederer Cristal by just one point. I'll have to do a head-to-head at some time!
96 Cuvée Dom Pérignon Brut 1993 Moët & Chandon

85 R. Blin et Fils 1993 Brut Millésime
84 Jean Moutardier 1993 Brut Millésime
Vintage Brut Champagne: 1992
Theoretically the only vintage quality year between 1990 and 1995, and although it has provided some excellent Champagnes, 1993 has turned out to be superior.
89 Cuvée Dom Pérignon Brut 1992 Moët & Chandon
88 Pommery 1992 Brut Grand Cru
88 Bollinger 1992 Grande Année, Brut

84 Nicolas Feuillatte 1992 Brut Millésimé, Premier Cru
84 Nicolas Feuillatte 1992 Cuvée Palmes d'Or, Brut
Vintage Brut Champagne: 1991
Although less houses declared this vintage and the ripeness-acidity levels were the less impressive than either 1992 or 1993, some producers evidently got it right. However, Vilmart Coeur de Cuvée in magnum stood head and shoulders above the rest two years ago and has jumped two percentile points in the meantime.
95 Vilmart & Cie 1991 Coeur de Cuvée, Brut (magnum)
87 Boizel 1991 Joyau de France, Brut
84 Philipponnat 1991 Réserve Spéciale Brut
84 Canard-Duch�ne 1991 Brut
83 Alfred Gratien 1991 Brut
Vintage Brut Champagne: 1990
This is not only a true vintage, it is one of the 18 greatest Champagne vintages of the century. It is hard to believe for those who remember the 1976 Champagnes, but the grapes were riper in 1990 than they were in that drought year. What makes 1990 special, however, is that its grapes also possessed surprisingly high the acidity levels, with a much greater proportion of ripe tartaric to unripe malic than any other vintage on record. Sir Winston has been knocked off pole position by Krug (99 points), even though it will not be launched for a year or so and Clos des Goisses joins (from the previous two editions) Billecart-Salmon Grande Cuvée at 96 points.
99 Krug Vintage 1990 Brut

86 Delbeck 1990 Brut Vintage
85 Bruno Paillard 1990 N.P.U., Nec Plus Ultra, Brut
Vintage Brut Champagne: 1989
The middle year of the great trio of exceptional successive vintages, 1989 was marked by the Pinot Noir, which had a physiological problem, causing coloration in some of the cheaper, earlier-released Champagnes. Also, acidity was very low and pH high for such a hyped-up vintage (only 1999 has had worse readings in the last 20 years), consequently some Champagnes were too heavy and oxidative. Krug defied these vintage characteristics to produce an extraordinarily pale Champagne with acidity that is more reminiscent of 1988 than 1989. Very few truly great 1989s are commercially available.
96 Krug Vintage 1989 Brut
90 Pommery 1989 Louise, Brut
89 Noble Cuvée de Lanson 1989 Brut
Vintage Brut Champagne: 1988
Although this vintage comes second to the 1990 out of the trio of three successive great Champagne years, the best 1988s will probably last as long as the best 1990s. I have just one six-bottle case left of Pol Roger 1988 (was 91 points three editions ago, but closer to 95 now) and I'm not sure how long I can keep my hands off it!
97 Krug Vintage 1988 Brut
89 Jacquesson & Fils 1988 Grand Vin Signature
89 Henriot 1988 Cuvée des Enchanteleurs, Brut
88 Mailly Grand Cru 1988 Cuvée Les Echansons, Brut
85 Divine 1988 Brut
Vintage Brut Champagne: 1985 and older
As part of the ongoing Millennium celebrations, a number of houses have decided to release old vintages from their library collection (Dom Pérignon did so too late for inclusion in this year's Guide). There is, however, huge variations in quality, which resulted in relatively few of these wines surviving my tasting. The champenois are, after all, French and it must be remembered that the French generally prefer their Champagnes young, thus it is not uncommon to find that the champenois are the last to understand the qualities that make a mature Champagne great. Often they think that because a Champagne is old a certain maderised or oxidised character is acceptable, but it's not, of course. In addition to complexity and finesse, the greatest mature Champagnes are those that remain the freshest and youngest for the longest period of time. It's that simple.
Only buy older vintages of Champagne that have come direct from the producer's cellars into a winemerchant's own cellars that you now to be good. Preferably buy direct from the producer on a visit. Only buy mature Champagne at auction if the provenance adheres to the above or you have tasted the an example from exactly the same lot.

What: President Barack Obama, the nation's 44th chief executive, is sworn into a second term, as is Vice President Joe Biden.
When: As required by the Constitution, the president (and the vice president before him) will be sworn in at noon today. That will be at the White House. As is tradition, when Jan. 20 falls on a Sunday, the ceremonial swearing-in at the West Front of the U.S. Capitol is held Monday instead. That ceremony also will be at noon.
Who: The ceremonial swearing-in will attract an estimated 600,000-800,000 onlookers -- that's down from the record 1.8 million who watched Obama's inauguration in 2009.
Access: Standing on the Mall is free, but get there early, as security will be tight and crowds large. Getting closer requires a ticket -- those are doled out by members of Congress. Check with your representative.
What else: 2:30 p.m. Monday, the inauguration parade up Pennsylvania Avenue to the White House. Among the participants are Michigan's Multi-Jurisdictional Mounted Police Drill Team and Color Guard, and the Military Spouses of Michigan.
As always, there will be a host of inaugural balls, official and otherwise, on Monday night. Michigan's Inaugural Celebration, sponsored by the Michigan State Society and the Michigan Congressional Delegation, will be held 7:30 p.m.-midnight at the National Museum of American History.
One other thing: Democrats and Republicans from Michigan's delegation work together to set up events for the inauguration. One is a reception, with hot chocolate, coffee and tea being served 10 a.m.-1 p.m. today in Room 2123 in the Rayburn House Office Building. If you're from Michigan, it's free -- but you need to have gotten clearance by RSVP-ing your congressional representative already.

You take it to the dealer, don't you?
Don't do that.
You have had this car for 12 years.
Do you expect nothing to need to be replaced.
Do you drive it conservatively.
This shows nothing about the car.
It has over 20000 miles on it.
Do you expect it to be perfect.
Get real.
I have the same car and I love it.
220,000 miles???
How much do you expect from a $13,000.00 car?
I bought my 2001 Focus SE in 2004 with about 55,000 on it and it was my first real car that wasn't a "hand me up." I paid $6500 for it, but was financed. It was supposed to be "Blue Oval Certified" from a Ford dealership but I was not told about a recall on the fuel injector and ended up getting stranded in OK on my way to Dallas 4 months after buying it. I also got stranded on the road in Dallas a month later because I needed a new battery already.
To this day I could never get the check engine light to go off and I've had several problems and not much of it has original parts. However, I still love it and will ride it until the wheels fall off.

Carolina Journal News Reports
Outlaw Dogs owner Steve Pruner serves a customer outside Duke Hospital in Durham.
DURHAM After being jailed twice for vending hot dogs without a permit, Steve Pruner of Outlaw Hot Dogs finally is permitted and back in business.
The Durham hot dog vendor operated for nine months without a city vending permit or a county health department permit.
Pruner said he was willing to pay the $175 cost to get the permits, but had been unable to get a commissary agreement, a condition of the health permit.
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources requires all mobile food vendors to work in conjunction with a permitted restaurant or commissary. In other words, vendors are required to rent space in a health-inspected restaurant or commissary to prepare food, wash dishes, and store carts.
Vendors usually pay several hundred dollars a month for the arrangement.
But much of the time, Pruner said, what cart operators pay for is not the actual use of the facilities, but the signature on a log-in sheet certifying that the vendor has visited the commissary every morning before opening and every night after closing.
This rarely happens, Pruner contends, and Mark Myer, food and lodging supervisor of Durham County Health Department, confirmed that this probably is the case.
They are sort of on the honor system, he said. If the commissary is collecting a rent payment from these operators theyre not going to call and say, hes not showing up.
Pruner said the rule was not set up to ensure food safety, but rather to establish a costly barrier that discourages mobile food vendors from operating.
The whole purpose of the law is to keep people out of business, he said. Its meant to be a barrier so were not competing against the restaurant interests. The city and state get more money from restaurants, so they write laws in their interest.
Pruner said he looked into getting a commissary agreement before he opened his hot dog business, but was unable to find a restaurant willing to host him.
We looked into building a commissary ourselves and renting it out, but you have to put in sinks and freezers its quite a bit more money than a hot dog cart, he said.
In December, after being thrown in jail twice and shut down on the threat of arrest on two other occasions, Pruner saw an ad on Craigslist for an opening at a commissary.
The commissary owner, Anthony Hill, also owns Mama Jeans BBQ Shack, a 14-foot trailer on wheels. Hill bought the commissary for the express purpose of opening his mobile catering unit. Although Hill plans eventually to turn his brick-and-mortar location into a full-service restaurant, now he does all of his business from the trailer.
Pruner said buying a restaurant or commissary to open a mobile food unit defeats the whole purpose of entering into a low-capital venture.
He said Hills business seems to be the only one in Durham willing to offer commissary services. The only other location Pruner could find was Carolina Commissary in Raleigh, which charges $300 a month. Hill charges less, and is located in Durham.
Pruner said four or five Durham hot dog vendors use Mama Jeans as their home base, and he hasnt noticed more than four or five vendors operating in the area.
In Hills advertisement, he says the health department recently gave him permission to take on several more mobile food vendors.
Pruner is glad to be back to work, but says that wont stop him from fighting the commissary rule in court. He calls it an undue restriction on his constitutional right to work.
Hell be fighting misdemeanor charges for operating without a license in a Durham County District Court Jan. 5. If he loses, he plans to appeal.
Pruner said hes still deciding whether he will file a lawsuit against the City of Durham the mayor and the police officers who arrested him in federal court for violating his civil rights.

ST. HELENA — Napa County authorities have arrested a 21-year-old suspected of breaking into House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's home in California's Wine Country.
Sheriff's Capt. Tracey Stuart says deputies were dispatched to the San Francisco Democrat's home outside St. Helena on Monday after receiving an alert from an alarm company.
Officers found broken glass but no suspects. No one was home at the time.
Officials say Kevin Michael Hagan was arrested Wednesday after a deputy found him at another St. Helena home where a break-in was reported.
Authorities say Hagan admitted to burglarizing six homes, including Pelosi's, since Oct. 31. He had a watch that was taken from Pelosi's home.
