There aren't that many 100-gallon blood donors in the United States, and Jacksonville is about to welcome its third biggest giver of life.
Following in the footsteps of Northeast Florida's first 100-gallon donor, Bill Conroy (March 28, 2011) and Dean Willis (December 12, 2011), Kelly Williams will join the elite club of three on January 10 when she donates at The Blood Alliance at South Jacksonville's donor center
Kelly's story
Kelly Williams made his first blood donation in Jacksonville at Fletcher High School in 1970 "…to get out of class." Little did he know that his self-seeking act would turn him into a selfless lifetime donor 43 years later.
Williams didn't become an aggressive donor until his oldest son, at age 13, needed open heart surgery back in 1992. Williams arranged for a blood drive in his son's name at his church and began his mission to donate whole blood regularly himself.
From a whole blood donor, he then became a platelet donor, bringing him in to The Blood Alliance every two weeks faithfully after learning how to donate specific blood components called, apheresis - a procedure in which blood is drawn from a donor and separated into its components, some of which are retained, such as plasma or platelets, and the remainder returned by transfusion to the donor. Giving platelets takes a little longer than the brief whole blood donation procedure, so it takes dedication to be an apheresis donor.
Inspired by the people who took meticulous care of him while donating, Williams decided to work for The Blood Alliance and became a phlebotomist in 2000, through the blood bank's professional training program. He rose through the ranks steadily and swiftly became a team leader for The Blood Alliance at Southside's donor center.
"I love the people I worked with, and was inspired daily by the positive energy around the workplace," said Williams. "People come in to donate because they want to, not because they have to. That's what makes this a special place."
Williams worked for The Blood Alliance for five years before retiring.
When asked how many gallons he has donated, most find it hard to imagine.
"They can't believe how much time I've spent in the donor chair to reach 100-gallons!"
The apple did not fall far from William's tree, as he followed in the footsteps of his father who was also a donor. And, his own family now takes his lead – from his children to his brother, sisters and their kids, "That's an awful lot of family donors!"

Awe-some: 60-Pound, 9-Year-Old Girl Is The Star Of Local Football Team
At first, the coaches of her Salt Lake City kids' team let her join in practice because they thought it would be a fun drill for her male counterparts to outrun her. Too bad they couldn't. Sam turned out to be quite the star player, and her coach says she's at the level of a college football player.
If the thought of a 60-pound girl playing with a bunch of dudes who are close in age but still surprisingly bulky (apparently there's one strapping fellow who weighs in at 150) makes you uncomfortable, we don't blame you — but apparently she's doing just fine. Her biggest problem is the fact that the games are riding almost solely on her, so she's feeling quite a bit of pressure, though not so much that she can't kick into super-athlete gear when she needs to.
Football is the last bastion of male domination (in terms of players, at least). But maybe Sam will keep playing in high school, maybe the scouts will see her racing down the field and realize it would be just stupid to turn down such a star player based on gender. Fingers crossed. (Yahoo! Sports)

Economic and Environmental Sustainability: A Dynamic Approach in Insular Systems
Fausto Cavallaro
Università degli Studi del Molise - Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche Gestionali e Sociali
Luigi Ciraolo
University of Messina
April 2002
FEEM Working Paper No. 21.2002
Environmental resources constitute the "raw materials" for tourism. This sector represents the driving force behind the economy of small islands. The sustainable use and a rational policy of conservation of these resources are prerequisites to enable their full exploitation. However, island systems have low stability, as they are highly sensitive to exogenous stress phenomena caused by economic factors, which exceeding the sustainable threshold may come together to damage the environment. This work systematically examines the effects and the feedbacks that the economy of tourism may generate in small areas like the minor islands of Sicily (Italy). The development of a dynamic model is proposed to supply a key to interpret the phenomena affecting the island of Salina (Aeolian islands-Messina) offering elements for the assessment of future local government policies.

I used a spanish rice mix instead of the cup of rice and broth. I roasted the peppers before I sliced and sauteed them. That gave the dish more depth in the flavor. Yummy.
fitmtgirl 25 Feb, 2009
My kids even liked this easy-to-make-dish. I was sorry I only made a half-recipe because it would've been delicious for lunch the next day.
ryepye 22 Jan, 2009
This is a great recipe - the whole family really liked it. I substituted roasted broccoli for the red pepper.
steph 3 Jan, 2009
This was really good! I used Jasmine rice. I also mixed the rice in. Can't wait to try the leftovers tomorrow.

Donna_Jagoe 14 Oct, 2008
I made this for dinner tonight. It was quick and easy and delicious. I added some celery to the pepper and sausage and shrimp mixture. I also just mixed the rice with the shrimp mixture, that way I did not waste any delicious pan juices. Everyone loved it.

It was nearly a month ago when the Chicago Blackhawks and Los Angeles Kings met for the first time this season. It was the Kings' day, at least before the game began. Fresh off their Stanley Cup, it was a morning/early afternoon celebration of ring receiving, Cup passing and banner raising.
[Hockey Day in America LIVE Stream]
The Kings were expected to pick up where they left off last season, forging ahead of the pack in a lockout-shortened season that gave them plenty of time to sleep off that supposed Cup hangover. The Blackhawks, well, they were supposed to be good. But few probably would've guessed this good.
One month later, the Blackhawks are still building on their tremendous start that began on Jan. 19 in L.A. The Kings, meanwhile, are trying to find the consistency and dominance that so epitomized their 2012 spring.
When the Kings face the Blackhawks in Chicago on Sunday, it will be a matchup of teams vying for success. One is looking to maintain it, add to it. The other is looking to recapture it. The Blackhawks, who were feeling the Kings' pain and inconsistency two seasons ago after their 2010 championship, can relate.
"We all know they're a good team, we know ourselves. The year after we won the Cup the first 10-15 games we had a tough time getting into mentally, but then we got to playing some good hockey," defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson said. "It's a good team. We're going to have the same approach we had going into (Friday's victory vs. San Jose)."
[RELATED: Hawks tussle early, pull away late from Sharks]
Indeed the Blackhawks haven't gotten to their stunning 11-0-3 mark this season by taking anyone lightly. That especially holds true for the defending-champion Kings. This is still the same group of guys, still the same roster that's capable of busting out offensively and recapturing their game.
"We have a very dangerous opponent tomorrow," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said on Saturday, moments after his team had a brief practice, then skate with USA Warriors, at Soldier Field. "Let's be ready for them."
The Kings' 2-1 victory over Columbus on Friday gave them a two-game winning streak for just the second time this season. Currently 12th overall in the Western Conference as of Saturday afternoon, the Kings hope they're finally starting to hit their stride. It hasn't helped that the Kings are fighting injuries, especially among their defensemen where they're missing Matt Greene (back), Willie Mitchell (knee) and now Alec Martinez (upper body). But they're focusing on their game, and the healthy bodies they have, instead of what they don't.
"We're trying to improve on it," Kings coach Darryl Sutter told the L.A. media following Friday's win. "There (are) parts of our game that we have to absolutely demand that we try and get better at it because of the inexperience on the back end."
And as far as the Blackhawks, the Kings know what they're getting.
"They're an awesome team. ... They're where they are for a good reason. It's not hard to figure out," Sutter told Lisa Dillman of the L.A. Times on Saturday. Still, the Kings want to keep their opponent in perspective.
"They're not invincible," Sutter continued to the Times. "We'd like to try again (to beat them). You know what, they're not on a different planet than us."
No, but the Blackhawks have been playing like they are. They've been relatively healthy, save the recent upper-body injury goaltender Corey Crawford possibly sustained Tuesday vs. Anaheim, or Thursday in practice. Ray Emery, who has already come up with some key victories, will be depended upon until Crawford recovers.
And everyone else has done their part. The top guys have been sensational, no doubt. But the Blackhawks have been one balanced team, garnering great performances – be they special teams, scoring or defense – from every player. Case in point was Friday night, when fourth liners Marcus Kruger and Jamal Mayers had two-point nights and third-line center Andrew Shaw garnered his first career power-play goal.
[RELATED: Kruger makes most of funny bounce]
"We're winning games and getting goal scoring from different lines," captain Jonathan Toews said. "You can work as hard as you want, do everything right. But if you don't score or find ways to win games, your confidence isn't at the same level. We work hard, we do the right things and things go our way. We want to keep that going."
The Blackhawks are having the kind of start many thought the Kings would have. But even in this abbreviated season, there's a lot of hockey left to play. The Blackhawks are surging but the Kings are still formidable. Much has changed since that season opener for both a month ago. But the goal, for each, remains the same.

County Executive Announces
Appointments to Ethics Commission
June 4, 2012 (KANSAS CITY, MO) – Jackson County Executive Mike Sanders has announced the following appointees to the county's Ethics, Human Relations and Citizen Complaints Commission.
The seven-member commission was established with passage of a revised Jackson County Charter in August 2010. The commission is made up of Jackson County residents, with each county legislative district getting at least one representative.
A three-person selection committee provided recommendations for appointments to the commission. The County Executive appoints members after reviewing the recommendations.
The Ethics, Human Relations and Citizens Complaints Commission receives complaints and conducts investigations of possible violations of the Jackson County Ethics Code as well as alleged violations of county and State of Missouri guidelines regarding conflicts of interest, financial interest disclosures and lobby registration and other disclosure provisions.
"This commission is a representation of Jackson County's commitment to open and transparent government," said Sanders. "It is important that we provide an outlet for our citizens so that there is an appropriate level of accountability for all involved with county government."

Compass correction is absolutely necessary when plotting a course. Actually it is not the magnetic compass that is being corrected when plotting a course, rather it is the skew between the True North Pole and the Magnetic North Pole, which are a few hundred miles apart that requires the magnetic compass, which stays magnetically fixed to the Magnet North Pole, to be mathematically adjusted.
Therefore, when plotting a course, the easiest way out is to pin the blame on the magnetic compass and call it compass error.
Therefore, this condition referred to as compass error is not a compass error at all. Rather it is the variation between the True North Pole and the Magnetic North Pole and requires compass correction. This condition is called Variation.
Another factor when plotting a course, which cause compass error, are electronic pieces of equipment and various metals that are in the vicinity of the magnetic compass requiring compass correction. This condition of compass correction is called Deviation. Whether it be conditions of variation or deviation, the course conversion calculator makes compass correction of compass error much simplier.
Making a compass correction requires a simple mathematical formula (TVMDC). When plotting a course, the formula must be executed quickly and accurately. Therefore when making a compass correction, the quickest and most accurate way is with this simple and unique device called the Course Conversion Calculator. There are similar devices on the market, but none that address compass error or compass correction as does the Course Conversion Calculator.
You will find when plotting a course with this device that there will be no more frustrating formulas to remember like "East is Least" or "True Virtue Makes Dull Company" or when to Add? - when to Subtract?
Now when you are plotting a course, with the turn of only two dials you can make Corrections of Variation and/or Deviation and find the Correct Course to Steer instantly. The calculator makes the adjustment between true north and magnetic north, thus making plotting a course much easier.
Conversions from Relative Bearings to True and Magnetic Bearings are made instantly. Reciprocals can be seen instantly. This coastal navigation tool converts True Course to Magnetic Course and Compass Course. It does all of these calculations WITHOUT THE NEED OF A PENCIL.
This device also gives a clear and simple approach to determining the conditions of Set & Drift and a simplified explanation of True Course, Magnetic Course, Variation and Deviation.
Remember, when plotting a course, make compass correction of compass error by using the COURSE CONVERSION CALCULATOR.

Kevin Ware receives medical attention following his horrific leg injury in the Elite Eight. Even injuries as severe as Ware's are covered by almost every Division I school. / Brian Spurlock, USA TODAY Sports
Nearly all Division I schools provide insurance covering the type of athletic-related injury Louisville guard Kevin Ware suffered Sunday in an NCAA tournament regional final.
"Student-athletes must have insurance covering athletic-related injuries to practice and compete, per rules adopted by NCAA institutions â?? and in most cases colleges and universities provide that coverage," NCAA spokesperson Stacey Osburn said by email.
The insurance coverage must be of equal or greater value than the deductible of the NCAA catastrophic injury policy â?? $90,000 â?? and can be provided through parents' or guardians' insurance coverage, the student-athlete's personal insurance or the university's insurance program.
Schools have a variety of programs, but Osburn said nearly all Division I schools offer this coverage, and more than 75 percent of institutions in Divisions II and III do so as well.
The insurance programs do not guarantee that athletes or their families will not have some out-of-pocket expenses, as some policies are subject to deductibles and co-pays.
However, according to NCAA legislation, universities are allowed to pay student-athletes' insurance deductibles â?? though they are not required to â?? without it being considered an extra benefit and raising eligibility concerns.
A Louisville official said that the university would cover any unpaid bills from Ware's emergency and ongoing medical care.
If claims or expenses for injury reach $90,000, the NCAA has a catastrophic insurance plan that covers medical costs for an injured student-athlete.
Tuesday, in response to some questions about the NCAA insurance programs in light of Ware's compound leg fracture, the NCAA posted an update to its overview of insurance programs.
In the overview, the NCAA said that a student-athlete's injury does not have to be catastrophic â?? that is, totally disabling â?? to be covered by the NCAA catastrophic program. Simply having medical expenses exceeding $90,000 will trigger the program's coverage.
Also, during the NCAA tournament, and in other NCAA championship events, the NCAA provided supplemental insurance up to $90,000 in medical expenses that, in effect, doubled the coverage provided by the schools (or a student's family insurance).

Who I Am...
I am a Thousand Oaks High School alumni. I graduated in 1981. I ran track and cross country and was part of the 1981 CIF Southern Section cross country Championship team. In track and field I had a best of 4:13 in 1981 and made it to the state meet that year although I did not fair well in the final. 4:13 was unfortunately also not good enough to be the school record (Thanks a lot Steve! (Steve Fairman) but my experience there will always be cherished.
I still live in the county but in Simi Valley. In 1999 and 2000 I assisted Robert Radnoti in cross country for Thousand Oaks but my job did not allow me to get more involved as I would have loved to.
I got married in 1990 to my beautiful wife Cheryl and we had my first daughter in 1992 and our second daughter in 1995. that daughter runs for Royal High School in Simi Valley today (as of summer of 2012). Reena will be a senior this year.
I have not ever been able to coach but have nutured another passion - taking action photos. It has always been difficult to sit still while watching my daughters compete (Amanda played volleyball) and so taking pictures was a good release for pent up energy. I have a website where I have posted some of my sports shots and other work at http://HR411design.com

The Gentlemen (Rock)
In the spring of 1999, Mike Gent served as road manager and opening act for the Gravel Pit's western U.S. tour. He would often guest during the Pit's set, and the seeds of a side-project were sown. After the four musicians came together as the Gentlemen and set their New England/New York turf on fire with their blistering, energetic live shows, they decided to legitimize the collaboration with a full-length album. The group's debut, Ladies and Gentlemen...the Gentlemen, released in 2000 on Hearbox Records, was recorded live in the studio over a four-day period at Q-Division in Boston and then mixed in 22 straight hours at Fort Apache in Cambridge, MA. The 12-track album features nine songs by Gent and the songwriting debuts of Jackson and Valauskas. ~ Erik Hage

Forever red
Why is red still Ferrari's signature colour? Why aren't English cars green and French cars blue any longer? National colours have fallen out of favour in racing. Only Ferrari has resisted the temptation – and pressure from sponsors – to stray from its signature red
Estimated reading time: 9 minutes
If you're a fan of the Ferrari racing team, all you need to tell the world about where your loyalty lies is a plain red shirt. Most fans like to have the genuine Ferrari garment, decorated with the distinctive Prancing Horse motif that was presented to Enzo Ferrari himself after the first World War by the grieving family of a fallen fighter pilot who had carried it into combat. Red says it all, though, and the worldwide popularity of the marque from Maranello means that the only grandstands at a grand prix event not to be drenched in a sea of scarlet are those reserved for the guests or employees of a rival marque. Today, those fans automatically associate red with Ferrari, Italy's all-conquering racing team. That is hardly surprising, for the famous cars have worn it right from the beginning of the Scuderia when Mr Ferrari started building his own cars more than 60 years ago. But red is, of course, the national racing colour of Italy, allocated at the dawn of grand prix racing, before the Great War. However, it was not always so, and at one time as many as three different Italian manufacturers competed in red. Indeed, Enzo's own patriotism was stretched so far at times that not all of his team's great triumphs have been won (as we shall see) by cars bearing the proud flame-coloured livery.
Car racing in one form or another became inevitable almost as soon as the world's first two cars had been built. The early city-to-city road races were a splendid concept, with an instant marketing appeal to the freshly established car manufacturers and their young proprietors, many of whom took the wheel (or tiller) themselves. Suicidally dangerous as these open-road events would prove to be, however, competition activities were soon restricted to closed circuits. The most famous of these were the races for the Gordon Bennett Trophy, contested for six years starting in 1900. The rules laid down for the Gordon Bennett races were aimed at ensuring competition between countries rather than individual makes of car. In 1900, the cars representing the three participating countries – the united States, Germany and France – were to be identified by being painted in red, white and blue respectively.
Italy had its own burgeoning car industry at the time, of course, and racing was already developing, but Italian manufacturers preferred to compete 'at home'. If Fiat or Lancia had wished to take part in the Gordon Bennett races, they would probably have argued with the french team for the right to wear blue, which is the colour worn then, as now, by Italian athletes and footballers.
It would not be until 1906, and the first Grand Prix de l'Automobile Club de France at Le Mans, that red made its first appearance on an Italian racing car. Another 15 years would elapse before any attempt at codifying racing colours was made, and while Germany and France retained white and blue as their primary racing colours, Italy took red. By now it was recognised that the public identified more with individual drivers than with makes of car or even nationality, so the colour was expected to be worn accordingly – i.e. a French driver entered in an Alfa Romeo would be required to present his car in blue. The rules were exquisitely precise, with separate colours for chassis, bodywork and, in some cases, wheels. The limited number of primary colours forced certain outrageous shades to be listed, so it is perhaps fortunate that Egypt never amounted to much in the racing business. unless, that is, you are attracted by something painted in pale violet. Perhaps we should not be surprised that the precision of the rules was not strictly observed. Britain's colour is listed as green, which dates back to the Gordon Bennett days and the 1904 race that was scheduled to be held in England, home of the previous year's race winner. even as early as the turn of the century, however, racing on public roads was banned in that country, but it was discovered that the laws of Ireland (still part of the united Kingdom at that time) were more flexible, which explains why the race took place in County Kildare. It is believed that the dark green hue adopted by the Napier team, though rather dull, was a tribute to the so-called 'emerald Isle'. It quickly became associated with British racing, although there would be a wide variety of greens to be seen on British cars over the course of the years. There was a particularly unpleasant lime green used by the British racing Partnership (BrP), which in 1962 found its way onto a Ferrari that had been loaned to the team for Stirling Moss to race. Moss suffered his career-ending crash at Goodwood before he ever sat in the car, which only raced once as a BrP entry. It was a touch of rebelliousness at Maranello in 1964 that resulted in the British driver John Surtees claiming the World Championship for Ferrari at the wheel of a car painted blue and white. At the time, Enzo Ferrari was having difficulty in persuading the international sporting authority to homologate (recognise) a new car for the following season's sports car championship.
Convinced that the Italian national body was not giving him the support he deserved as a licence holder, he called in Luigi Chinetti, Ferrari's united States dealer, and invited him to enter the cars for the two final races of the season under the name of Chinetti's privately owned North American Racing Team. Thus it was that Surtees claimed his title in Mexico in a car wearing uS colours. Despite the rules (which were never seriously enforced), national colours were worn by most of the formula one teams until 1968. In 1949, when Enzo Ferrari decided to sell two of his type 125 cars, one of them went to British industrialist Tony Vandervell, who not only painted it green but even changed its name ('Thin Wall Special') to promote his brand of bearings. In those early years there were also close links between Maranello and Belgium, where the Ferrari concessionaire provided strong support for the racing activities of Belgian drivers and teams like Ecurie Francorchamps. The Belgian cars were painted in sunny yellow, a colour that is still popular today among Ferrari customers who seek an alternative to the familiar red. For many years, the most important income received by formula one teams came in the form of generous performance bonuses from the major oil companies. Conveniently, Shell, Esso, BP and the rest were happy to advertise their successes by featuring their star drivers in their advertising. This allowed constructors to avoid painting brand names on their cars, a custom that was regarded at the time as garishly American. But when Esso withdrew its support from his cars at the end of 1967, Lotus boss Colin Chapman knew he had to find money elsewhere. He was able to take advantage of a new ruling that had discreetly lifted the requirement for cars to wear national colours. Tipped off by a Lotus mechanic, who was romantically involved with a woman who worked for the marketing agency that handled Imperial Tobacco, Chapman's team manager approached the cigarette company and quickly secured a deal.
Inconveniently, the Lotus cars were already on their way to the other side of the world, ready to contest the Tasman series of races. Once off the ship, they were hastily painted in the colours of Imperial's Gold Leaf brand, which explains why startled spectators in New Zealand were the first to see the familiar green Lotuses compete in the garish red, white and gold of a cigarette packet. Formula One was about to undergo one of the most seismic shifts in the sport's history. (Students of modern political history might even like to note that the ethics of tobacco sponsorship became one of the first imbroglios to face former British Prime Minister Tony Blair when F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone's £1 million donation to the Labour Party coincided with a delay in the banning of tobacco sponsorship, but that's another, much more complicated, story.) Not surprisingly, other sponsors stepped forward to take advantage of this new advertising opportunity. One of the most memorable new multicoloured liveries was that of the Yardley perfume company, worn in the 70s on BrM and McLaren cars. By linking its range of toiletries to F1 racing, Yardley's campaign successfully revived the fortunes of a brand that had become dull and unattractive. As for Mr Ferrari, an idealistic attitude towards commercialism meant that the inevitable move towards cigarette sponsorship would be delayed. Even when the Scuderia signed an agreement with Philip Morris/Marlboro, the livery was far less flamboyant than on rival cars. While it was a happy coincidence that Marlboro's primary colour was red, the colour itself was not always the pure red familiar from the old days. Indeed, some fans became slightly nervous when they saw the much-loved rosso corsa morph into shades of pink and near-orange.
The change had been made on an experimental basis, in the interests of ensuring that television broadcasts transmitted the maximum impact. On television, pure red has a tendency to appear as an unattractive brown shade. However, since 2007, Ferrari's F1 cars have competed in true rosso corsa, and though 2009's F60 wears rosso perlato (it's 1kg lighter, they say), it is still unequivocally red. It remains an exclusively Ferrari colour, the favourite of racing fans but also of Ferrari's devoted road car customers.
Surely no colour has held as much sporting significance for any group of fans as the red of those glorious racing Ferraris. And it could so easily have been blue…

I actually liked your old dining room, particularly after seeing it photographed with all the bells and whistles online for some sort of Kansas City homes spread -- can't remember which one it was exactly. It was unique, you took a risk, and that's a place where a lot of good things come from.

Can you repost a picture for old times sake. I must have missed something. If I remember it was brown with black applied molding in large squares with transitional furniture. Am I correct? I really liked your living room and could never understand why you did not carry the beautiful yellow into the dining area. I must say, some dismantling had taken place when I saw the picture so perhaps I missed something. In the final analysis, it's your wonderful memories of the times spent with family and friends that is the most important and what makes a room important.

I agree. There was a post or two when you were wrestling with what to do about your dining room, but I liked it just as it was.
I'll check out Thos Jayne's site, and like the post-your-best idea, but it might be interesting to make it part of the deal that submissions have to be 2-parters: a room of your own & a room you admire. Have a wonderful day tomorrow.

I just received the latest issue of spaces and really enjoyed your article. My sister and I just had a conversation similar to this. She asked me why I buy everything at antique stores instead of a big box like target. I kindly tried to explain to her that the things I buy from antique stores are a much better quality and have a history that you can't find with things you buy from target. She said "but nobody knows the difference." My reply, but I do and that's all that matters.

Terrible to say but one of the favorite rooms I told Thomas about when he was working on the book is the oval and mirrored dining room/ballroom at a ladies' club in Chicago. It's downtown, and for the life of me I can never remember the name of the club. The building is painted black on the exterior (money ran out during construction, so the stone layer wasn't put on) and the interior is all magical, very 1920s, and almost perfectly preserved. Magnaverde, you know the one I mean, yes?

Can't wait to see the dining room the new house conjures up. Since my dining room is now the staging area for an upstairs redo, our thanksgiving dinner was held in my little library. It was romantic and lovely. Maybe there's foreshadowing here: instead of completion of projects, we'll keep moving into smaller rooms and leave the mess behind. My husband's grandfather actually did that and finally ended up sleeping in the living room on his sofa with all the doors shut behind him...scary thoughts today. Must be all those T-day carbs still in the system!

AAL, if you're thinking of the same jaw-droppingly glamorous private club that I am, there's a good reason that you can't remember the name of place. You're not supposed to remember it. As non-members descend the stairs into the club's elegant black-walled vestibule to leave, an attendant presses a button that wipes out all memory of having been there, and with it, the name of the club. Why do you think the place is painted black?
But the mechanism's almost a century old, and it doesn't always work, which is why, even though you've lost the name, you still have the dream-like vision. I have the same haunting dream, but I remember the name: Manderley. No, no, wait. That's a different dream.
Last night, I dreamt I went to The Casino again...

Brownsville shoots down Charleroi, 67-51
TribLIVE Sports Videos
With first place in Section 5 AA on the line, four players recorded double-digit points Wednesday as host Brownsville handed the Charleroi its first section loss of the season, 67-51.
The Cougars (5-4, 3-1) played the Falcons (5-4, 4-0) even for most of the game, but Charleroi's six-point second quarter helped Brownsville take a 12-point lead into halftime.
"We didn't play well," Charleroi coach Bill Wiltz said. "I'm not sure why. Maybe the long layoff, I don't know. But I'm not going to make excuses; I refuse to make excuses. We simply should have played better."
Wiltz lamented his team's performance in the costly second quarter.
"That second quarter, that's where we went cold and let them go on a run and we couldn't gain any momentum back at all," Wiltz said. "There was a little stretch there at the end of the third, beginning of the fourth quarter where we took it from 18 down to 10 or 11 and we thought with a little bit of momentum on our side we would be able to do things a bit better, but things didn't work out. They hit a couple of threes and stole the momentum right back from us."
Charleroi's John Arnold came off the bench to lead the Cougars in scoring with 18 points. The 6-7 sophomore dominated the paint when in the game. When he wasn't, Brownsville's 6-5 Nick Despot controlled the inside while brothers Cole and Ryan Novotny continually drove the lane for easy layups.
"He's only a sophomore and we are trying to bring him along slow," Wiltz said of Arnold. "He tends to foul, so we don't give him as many minutes as he deserves because we are trying to protect him. But he is certainly fun to watch."
Cole Novotny scored a game-high 23 points, with Despot going for 13 and Ryan Novotny and Carl Dellapenna each added 11.
Ryan Konek joined Arnold in double figures for the Cougars, recording 10 points. Charleroi's Brandon Bowman and Evan Anderson added seven and six points, respectively..
"They are a tough team to defend," Wiltz said. "They have a decent inside game, some good three point shooters. Our game plan was to go with the zone and see if we could force some outside shots but they hit them. And we were so cold offensively, we thought we needed to use our defense to spark our offense, get some steals, some turnovers and turn it into points, but they are pretty quick and we weren't able to do that. They have a nice team."
Cole Novotny sank four threes, compared to an ice-cold performance from the Cougars that saw them make only one 3-pointer the whole game.
"That's been our nemesis all year," Wiltz said. "We haven't shot well from the outside. Without John Arnold in the lineup tonight, who knows how many points we would have scored. But we just have to regroup after tonight. It's not the end of the world.
"We're going back in the gym tomorrow and we're not going to stick our heads where the sun don't shine. We're going to keep going at it, keep improving. We have a long way to go; it's a long season. They still have to come to our place."

The Atlanta Thrashers have signed restricted free-agent forward Niclas Bergfors to a new contract. Terms of the deal were not revealed, but an earlier ESPN.com report claimed Bergfors signed a one-year, $900,000 contract.
Bergfors, 23, was part of the deal last season that sent Ilya Kovalchuk to the New Jersey Devils. In 27 games with Atlanta, Bergfors had 8 goals and 17 points. He had 13 goals and 27 points in 54 games with the Devils prior to the trade.
His 21 goals and 44 points in 81 games total earned him a spot on the NHL All-Rookie Team.
The Devils' 2005 first-round pick, Bergfors has 22 goals and 45 points in 90 NHL games spread over parts of three seasons.

As all descriptions of this book state, there is a twist, but anyone who reads frequently will figure out the plot in the first thirty pages. It is a very charming book, very well done, as all Balogh's books are. If you enjoy it you may try reading some of her other works, the Simply Series, the Slightly Series, the Huxtable Series, and my favorites No Man's Mistress and More Than a Mistress. Also, there is a four disc unabridged audiobook of A Matter of Class. Enjoy!
Quote from the Artist:
"While the words Passion, Pain and Pleasure immediately invoke sexual thoughts, for me they have become somewhat of a personal mantra because they so accurately describe this time in my life," says Trey Songz. "The passion I have for my art fuels my drive and work ethic, while the sacrifice of my personal life to benefit my career will always be a source of pain. The pleasure that I derive from my work and my accomplishments make everything worth it. When I began conceptualizing the new album, these three words stuck in my head. They completely infiltrated my creative process, so it was inevitable that they became the album title."
"PASSION, PAIN & PLEASURE" is Songz' hugely anticipated follow-up to 2009's RIAA gold-certified smash, "READY."

Got allergies? How to make it through spring
Seattle -- Have the blooming trees got you sneezing, wiping your eyes and feeling itchy? Seasonal allergies are back for many Seattleites. But don't start inflating your giant bubble yet, we've got tips from some local allergy specialists that may help you get out and enjoy the sun without the inhaler.
Find the "right" medication
One of the greatest perils allergy sufferers seem to face is determining which medication will best treat their system. Unfortunately, Dr. Michael Wolfe, a surgeon and allergy specialist at Pacific Medical Centers, says that's not always easy.
"Getting the right combination of medications for you is a lot of trial and error," Wolfe says. "The best thing to do is try to find what works for you."
Wolfe recommends patients start by trying less-sedating antihistamines, which are less likely to make you drowsy. If those don't work, he says you should be evaluated by a physician who can make sure your symptoms are caused by allergies and not something else like a sinus infection.
Doctors can also prescribe steroid nasal sprays and other prescription medications.
For those who are not helped by antihistamines or anti-inflammatory medications, Wolfe recommends allergy immunotherapy shots. These are given weekly or bi-weekly for three to five years. Doctors will gradually give the patient increasing doses of an allergen, causing the immune system to become less sensitive to the substance.
"The shots are a quasi-cure," Wolfe said. "Very few people can make that commitment but those that do are very happy with it."
Non-medication tips
There are a lot of things people can do besides taking medications to relieve their allergy symptoms, Wolfe said.
For one, he says allergy suffers should get tested to find out what they are allergic to and do their best to avoid the allergen. While this may be possible with things like pets, it can be more challenging for those allergic to pollen who don't plan to stay indoors through Halloween.
Wolfe also encourages all allergy sufferers to try relieving their symptoms with nasal irrigation with salt water or saline.
"That works extremely well," Wolfe said. "It washes allergens out of the nose and you feel instantaneously better."
Dr. Marlene Peng, an allergy specialist at the Minor & James Medical Center, recommends people allergic to pollen always wash their hands and even their face after being outside. She says showering at night can also help people remove any allergens before going to sleep.
Peng says it can also help to keep your home and car windows closed and avoid drying their clothes outside.
If you're willing to make the investment, Peng says seasonal allergy sufferers can also benefit from a HEPA filter air purifier.
Finally, Peng says it can be helpful to research pollen counts online.
Tips for year-round allergies
Wolfe also offered tips to year-round allergy sufferers. If you are allergic to pets, he recommends creating an allergy "safe zone" by keeping them out of the bedroom. He says it is especially important that pets not be allowed in places where you sleep.
People with dust mite allergies should vacuum frequently, Wolfe says. Better yet, get rid of the carpet. He says frequent dusting also helps, and people with allergies should use dust mite-proof pillow cases.
Stuffed animals can also carry dust mites, Wolfe says, so people who are allergic to them should limit the number of plush toys they have and frequently throw them in the dryer.
Wolfe also recommends anyone allergic to mold make sure any aquariums and refrigerator water pans are clean and get rid of house plants, which also tend to carry mold.
No matter what you are allergic to, Wolfe urges anyone to seek professional help if they cannot manage their allergies on their own.
"For most allergies are just a nuisance, but for some it is a hug quality of life issue," Wolfe says.

Could the fabled Google Nexus Watch make a surprise appearance as the star of the show at I/O 2013 later this month?
The race for Smartwatch fame and glory is well and truly on, with some of the biggest names in the business having already confirmed or at least hinted their interest in the field. From Samsung to Apple to Microsoft and right back through to Google, analysts speak of a multi-billion dollar industry that's out there for the taking…and will be gobbled up by the victors pretty soon.
So back with the Google Nexus Watch, there's plenty of talk floating round right now suggesting that both Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie and the Google Nexus 5 Smartphone are facing severe release date delays and will not be ready for the company's I/O event later this month. This could therefore leave a pretty glaring gap which although might be filled at least in part by more Google Glass revelations, it's not implausible that the Nexus Watch itself might make an appearance…even if only in prototype form.
Recent history has reminded us all that rushing a product to the market can be tantamount to business suicide, but in this instance whoever gets there first stands a pretty good chance of reaping the rewards. The technology is to a large extent brand-new and unexplored, meaning that with no yardstick to go by the first new-generation Smartwatch out of the gate will set the standard and make history.
And with Apple's iWatch apparently ruled out until the mid-stages of 2014 at the earliest, there's really never been a better time for Google to get a foot-in with the Nexus Watch and make the most of the gap in the market.

Denver (AP)- The Denver Post reports today that the Governor's
task for sexual predators believes there is a loophole in the state law. They say sex offenders can avoid the label by refusing to participate in a psychological evaluation. Dave Thomas, Executive Director of the Colorado District
Attorney's Office, said the task force is working on closing the
loophole. A new risk–assessment scale would focus more on the sex offender's criminal record than other scientific factors.

The Padres have traded Jake Peavy to the White Sox for four young pitchers, SI.com has learned.
San Diego gets Clayton Richard (LHP), Adam Russell (RHP), Aaron Poreda (LHP) and Dexter Carter (RHP).
Peavy, who has a full no-trade clause, rejected a similar trade to the White Sox back in May, but accepted a second time around. The 28-year-old hurler is currently on the disabled list with a strained tendon in his right ankle.

Offer input on King County growth blueprint
October 23, 2012
By Staff
King County is poised to adopt a broad blueprint for growth in unincorporated areas, and before leaders act on the plan, residents can offer input.
In a Sept. 19 decision, a King County Council committee sent the blueprint, or comprehensive plan, to the full council for consideration.
The council then plans to conduct a more in-depth review and pass the comprehensive plan by early next year.
Residents can continue to submit written testimony at the council website, www.kingcounty.gov/council. Follow the link labeled "Comprehensive Plan."
The blueprint guides growth and development in the unincorporated areas and sets policy on major issues, such as annexations, transportation and the environment.
Under the Growth Management Act, leaders must prepare comprehensive land use plans for 20 years into the future.

Earlier today, MetLife agreed to sell its retail deposit operations to GE's finance arm, known as GE Capital. The deal will boost GE Capital's deposits by $7.5 billion. The GE unit will also acquire MetLife's online banking platform, which should help it attract individual savers.
Boy, GE Capital has come a long way from the depths of the financial crisis, when it was a big drag on GE.
As for MetLife, this deal will let them exit the banking business in order to avoid the heavy Fed scrutiny expected from Dodd-Frank. MetLife is following in the footsteps of Hartford Financial Services Group and Allstate, which also shed their banking operations for similar reasons.
Terms of the deal weren't disclosed. Here's a quick synopsis of what analysts are saying:

At the 2012 Charleston Race Week, Russell Lucas on Shimmer, with team mates Harry and Hans, took the victory in Audi Melges 20. This is Lucas' first major regatta win since entering the class last season. 'It was just great sailing with these guys,' said Lucas 'What a great event. We had so much fun.'
2012 Audi Melges 20 Sperry Top-Sider Charleston Race Week
Lucas won by a single point, just ahead of Travis Weisleder aboard Layline Race Team. Overnight leader Michael Kiss on Bacio slipped to finish in third.
PRO Hank Stuart delivered one more race on Sunday, completing an incredible nine race series at Sperry Top-Sider Charleston Race Week for the Audi Melges 20 fleet. The day got off to a very wet start as thunder clouds hung heavy over Charleston harbor, raining on and off all day.
A surprising turn of events in the overall standings occurred with overnight regatta leader Kiss being disqualified from the first race of the day on Saturday. This allowed Russell Lucas' Shimmer and Travis Weisleder's Layline Race Team to move up easily into first and second respectively.
'When we left the dock yesterday we said we would try to avoid three things — don't hit a mark, don't hit another boat and don't be OCS.' explained a disappointed Kiss. 'Well... we did all three and then, we missed the opportunity to get a 20% scoring penalty, so instead we ended up with a disqualification. All that being said, third overall is not so bad.'
2012 Audi Melges 20 Sperry Top-Sider Charleston Race Week
Marc Hollerbach's Fu claimed another fantastic win of the one and only race of the day, followed by Kiss in second and Deneen Demourkas on Groovederci in third. Lucas managed an eighth place finish, just behind Weisleder in seventh. Surely, a second race could be held as it was going to be a showdown. Lucas now sat in first, one point ahead of Weisleder, who in turn was one point ahead of Kiss. Paul Reilly's Red Sky was another point behind in fourth. Daniel Thielman's Kuai sat tight in fifth.
The hopes of getting in another race slowly diminished as the Race Committee attempted a tenth heat. It was abandoned just before the start as the breeze failed to produce quality race conditions.
First and foremost the IAM20CA would like to congratulate the winners, as well as thank all the teams that traveled to Charleston, S.C. to race. Without you, the great competition and big fleet racing just wouldn't be possible. Special thanks to PRO Hank Stuart, Deputy PRO Sue Miller and their entire Race Committee staff who delivered sheer perfection in race committee-management. And last, but certainly not least, many thanks to the Sperry Top-Sider Charleston Race Week organizers, in particular Randy Draftz and team!

"If you move, I'll kill you." That's what a woman says two men said to her after they forced their way into her home in the middle of the night.
It happened in Mercer County at Mary Whitehead's home on Longview Street in Harrodsburg.
That's where the victim says two men claimed they were out of gas and then barged inside.
"I have a sore shoulder, my knees hurt and my hand is swollen, but thank God, I'm still alive," said Whitehead.
The 67 year old fell several times as she was running for her life to a neighbor's house, which happened to be the home of Harrodsburg Chief of Police Ernie Kelty.
"She was hysterical. Once I finally was able to calm her down and get her in our house, I ran to her residence to check it out," said Kelty.
Chief Kelty says the two men had already fled. A quick sweep of the neighborhood turned up nothing, but Kelty says the search is far from over.
"For anyone to take advantage of such a wonderful person. No, we are going to do everything we can to solve this case," the chief went on to say.
For Whitehead, who lost her husband to a massive heart attack last summer, she's hoping for a speedy arrest.
"Not only did they steal my things, they took something from me I can never get back -- trust," said Whitehead.
The suspects are described as white men in their late teens to early twenties. One is tall and slim. The other is short with a stocky build.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-877-970-2020.
Your tips can be left annonymously and you could be eligible for a cash reward.
it's a free call, and you don't have to leave your name.

You have the right to be tasty.
… Read the rest
A Harlem cop plotted to kidnap, torture, cook and eat dozens of women — even going so far as to discuss the best way to slow-cook a grown human in a series of disturbing on-line chats, the FBI charged Thursday.
The feds busted alleged cannibal cop Gilberto Valle, 28, after intercepting multiple internet discussions in which the 26th Precinct cop offered gory details about a nightmarish plan straight out of a horror flick.
"I was thinking of tying her body on to some kind of apparatus, cook her over a low heat, keep her alive as long as possible," Valle wrote during one particularly harrowing chat.
The FBI and the NYPD's Internal Affairs Bureau quietly arrested Valle Wednesday at his apartment on Yellowstone Blvd. in Forest Hills, Queens, and he was to be arraigned in Manhattan federal court Thursday.

Pete Townshend Stop Hurting People LyricsArtist: Pete Townshend
Popularity : 5 users have visited this page.
Length: 5:09

A love born once must soon be born again
A spark that burned, then died, leaving cinders to be fanned
By the wind and thrown to flame;
Flames like tongues impassioned in a moments burst.
Tell me friend - why do you stand aloof from your own heart?
The truth confronts you - the truth confronts you as the sea
Crushing without detail,
Impassioned and detached,
Killing with love and power in God's Name.
Love conquers poses. Love smashes stances. Love crushes angles
Into black. So you, without question, know your first love
Is your last. And you, will never - never - Love again
I always wished to walk with her into resteraunts, (A clammy tale).
To be seen beside her at the public bar footrail.
I always wanted to be matched with her -
Yet her beauty was so different to mine.
My "beauty" needs an understanding, a knowledge of what I am.
Hers is enough. Earned through eons; for that is what true beauty is -
Time's gift to perfect humility.
May I be matched with you again
I know the match is bad
But God help me -
May I be matched with you again
- without your match there is no flame
The hottest lyrics from Pete Townshend

Wesleyan Home → Wesconnect → News, Features, Video → Audio → Storytelling Project
A clip from our interview with Bob Gallamore '63.
The Wesleyan Storytelling Project returns after a hiatus with this clip from our interview with Bob Gallamore, class of 1963.
In this clip, Bob revisits his favorite memories of Wesleyan, which include two seminar courses he took with famed theorist Hannah Arendt, who was a visiting professor at Wesleyan from 1961–63. Bob remembers the professor who had the greatest impact on him—from her guttural, gravelly voice and melancholy eyes, to the questions she asked his class, to her seminar on "Eichmann in Jerusalem" at Russell House.
Bob Gallamore is a leading expert on railway and intermodal economics, technology and safety. He has worked in both policy and leadership positions in government, industry, academia, consulting and non-profits. In addition to teaching at Northwestern University and Michigan State University, Bob founded and expanded The Gallamore Group consultancy.
[Ed. Note: Bob would like us to clarify that "A Report on the Banality of Evil" is the subtitle of Arendt's 'Eichmann in Jerusalem,' not her earlier book 'The Origins of Totalitarianism,' and that Arendt did not consider herself a philosopher but someone engaged in political theory.]

ATLANTA (January 31, 2013)--A shooting Thursday at an Atlanta middle school that left one teenager wounded was not random, authorities said.
The teen's injury did not appear to be life threatening, police said.
Atlanta police spokesman Carlos Campos said investigators are not certain what happened before Thursday's shooting at Price Middle School, but believe something occurred between the two people involved.
The suspect, who's also a student at Price, was taken into custody.
Campos says the wounded boy was shot in the back of the neck.
He said a teacher received minor injuries in the "disorder" that followed the shooting.
Students at the school were kept inside for hours as their parents waited anxiously outside.
By 5 p.m. children were being reunited with their parents.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The South Dakota Legislature has passed a comprehensive bipartisan economic development plan intended to help recruit projects to the state.
After a negotiating committee added $7 million to kick-start the plan, the House voted 60-6 and the Senate voted 31-2 to pass it. The measure will become law if Gov. Dennis Daugaard signs it.
The program would refund part or all of the sales tax paid by large projects that would not locate in South Dakota without the incentive. Contractor's excise tax paid by those projects and some unclaimed property money would be used for other economic development efforts.

Poem by KE Caldwell
Posted: May 29, 2013
This poem was derived from a dream I had one night. I am...
I am third-year English education major from Marshall University.
I grew up locally between Lincoln and Cabell counties. English (theory) is my passion and I enjoy reading and interpreting hard literary texts. Two authors that you most likley will never find me reading or teaching are Nathaniel Hawthorne nor Joseph Conrad. I enjoy reading things in broken English or Old English because it makes it that much more of a challenge!
I have within the past three years lived a very solomn solitary life. Though I do have a daughter we stay very busy. There has not been much time for down time. As I struggle to finish my degree, I find it also very challenging to keep up with our daily routines as I am a single mother.
I strive very hard to get the things that she and I need. Since there is no option at this point for failure to take over our situation, we look to God for all the things that no amount of money could provide.
I hope you enjoy my writing though it may be few and far between postings.
