When my daughter first came home from camp with a gold medal around her neck, she was thrilled. "Oh, how wonderful!" I gushed. "What did you win that for?" She paused a moment, puzzled. "I don't know," she answered, finally. "Everybody got one." I rearranged my face, hoping for a neutral expression. Difficult as it was, I held my tongue. It was hard to fault the camp counselors for wanting all the kids to feel like winners, and the gold medal did look mighty fancy at the dinner table. But I still found myself wanting to deliver an impassioned lecture about the importance of striving for excellence. I considered the wisdom of launching into a diatribe regarding the cheapening of real accomplishment. I pondered the impact of an entire generation being assured that everything they did was wonderful, no matter what. Later, I did have a talk with my child. I stressed how important it is for her to work hard, to do her very best, to always strive to improve, to excel and to grow. I told her about Olympic gold-medal winners, and how they're respected as the very best in the world. And, yes, I did tell her that losing doesn't make you a loser.
But regardless of whatever the latest expert says about the importance of nurturing self-esteem, I think we all lose when we forget that each day is an opportunity to be our very best all over again. Because when we try, really try, to stretch, to step out of our comfort zone, to get it not just right, but perfect, on occasion we do achieve real excellence.
It's been a year now since we redesigned USD Magazine. While we've gotten a bit more self-assured with every issue, I make it my mission to remember that no matter how good we get, we can do better.
And I'm proud to say that so far, every issue we've done is, in my mind, the best one ever.
Our efforts haven't gone unrecognized. Just as we went to press, we received word that we'd won five awards for excellence in the University and College Designers Association design competition. Call me immodest, but I'm not a bit surprised to learn that Art Director Barbara Ferguson has racked up several more well-deserved kudos to add to the already impressive list of design awards she's won this year. In fact, our team picked up all sorts of other awards in 2005-2006, including prizes from some of the most prestigious competitions around. I'm particularly proud that the magazine received two bronze awards in the CASE Circle of Excellence Competition — for visual design in print and for magazine publishing improvement.
While recognition is wonderful, we try hard not to lose sight of who we're doing this for. Our readers deserve the very best magazine we can possibly give them, and that's what we're going to keep right on producing. And we plan to keep going for the gold. That's a promise.

Now We Know Where War Machine Was During The Avengers
War Machine's absence in The Avengers wasn't explained or touched on in the film. Many fans had hoped for a Rhodey appearance but it didn't happen. Now thanks to the Iron Man 3 prelude comic book released yesterday, we know why he missed all the action during the Chitauri invasion.
War Machine had some business to take care of in Asia. It turns out Rhodey was thwarting a Ten Rings plot in Hong Kong. While engaged in combat with the terrorist organization, Rhodey gets a call from his old buddy Tony Stark asking for an assist. You can see scans of the relevant pages below. Did you pick up the book? Rhodey was MIA so he could take on the Ten Rings. I'm sure that will play into the next film, don't you?

Pacific Bats Stymied At Creighton
Curtis Gomez picked up a pair of hits, and Brett Sullivan added a two-run double, but that was all the offense for Pacific against Creighton's Tommy Strunc in a 7-2 Creighton win Friday at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Neb.
Strunc allowed just those three hits in 7.2 innings of work, and the Blue Jays took advantage of Mike Hager's uncharacteristic lack of command for five runs in the first two innings.
Hager (0-2), Pacific's sophomore right hander, allowed a sacrifice fly in the first, and walked in a run in the second before a three-run single on a 3-2 pitch by 2B Jake Peter.
Creighton added back-to-back singles off RHP Jake Jenkins in the sixth, and after a sacrifice bunt by Brennan Murphy brought in a run, Jordan Makovicka capped the Blue Jays' scoring with a sacrifice fly for a 7-0 lead.
Freshman PH Connor Bitzer and sophomore PH Taylor Murphy worked leadoff walks in the eighth off Strunc, and freshman PH Brett Sullivan delivered a two-run double to the gap in left center, but RHP Matt Warren came in salaamed the door, retiring the next two Tigers.
Warren tossed a perfect ninth to close out the ballgame as Creighton improved to 9-3 on the season. Strunc improved to 3-0 on the year, striking out eight against four walks and three hits allowed.
Hager suffered the loss, lasting four innings and allowing five earned on four hits. Senior LHP Travis Lumby tossed a shutout seventh with two strikeouts, while junior C/RHP Jason Taasaas struck out two in his scoreless eighth inning on the mound.
Pacific falls to 5-11 overall, and 1-4 on the 11-day, seven game road trip. Game two of the series is noon Saturday.

India court rejects Nokia pleaComment on this story
New Delhi - India's Supreme Court has ordered Nokia to give a 570-million-dollar guarantee before it transfers one of its biggest mobile phone units and other assets in the country to Microsoft Corporation, news reports said Saturday.
The transfer of Nokia's plant in the southern city of Chennai, which employs 8,000 people, is part of the Finnish company's 7-billion-dollar sale of its handset business to Microsoft.
The Supreme Court Friday upheld a Delhi High Court ruling over tax dispute surrounding the Chennai plant that had been challenged by Nokia, the Business Standard newspaper reported.
The top court said the firm will have to give a 35-billion-rupee (570-million-dollar) guarantee in addition to the 22.5 billion rupees it had to deposit in an escrow account to cover the disputed tax dues of 20.8 billion rupees, according to the Economic Times daily.
Nokia had appealed the verdict in February, contending that the high court imposed new conditions over the transfer after lifting the restraint on sales of its assets in December.
Nokia said it was disappointed with Friday's decision and will consider its next legal steps.
It has so far maintained that the tax dispute would not affect the Microsoft deal that is expected to close by the end of this month.
According to Indian media outlets, Nokia's total projected tax dues could amount to 210 billion rupees, including penalities and interest. Indian authorities have been involved in several tax disputes with foreign firms including Vodafone PLC, Royal Dutch Shell and LG Electronics Inc. - Sapa-dpa

Madness star Suggs launches Whitstable lifeboat's 50th anniversary
Posted: July 24, 2013|
MADNESS singer Suggs helped Whitstable Lifeboat launch its 50th anniversary celebrations last night.
The musician, real name Graham McPherson, was one of the guests at an evening to thank groups who had supported the station since it opened on July 23, 1963.
Suggs unveiled a commemorative plaque donated by former crew member Mark Laming, who is also chairman of the lifeboat management group.
He was joined by crewmembers past and present, including founder members Douglas Ward and Brian Tyrrell and Larry Lamberton as well as the Lord Mayor Cllr Heather Taylor and Lady Mayoress Linda Taylor.

Coastguards from Sheppey and Herne Bay and volunteers from Margate and Sheerness lifeboat were also on hand to help mark the occasion.
Suggs said the lifeboat was a key part of the town and should be supported.
He said: "My wife Anne's family have lived in Whitstable for two generations so I know the area well and the great thing about the Whitstable RNLI is that it is a great reflection of the spirit of community as much as it is also about saving lives at sea."
He presented long service awards to crewmembers Andy Kennedy, Paul Kemp and Richard Judge who each have served more than 30 years with the station. The station also received a certificate of service from the RNLI before supporters celebrated with cake made by Dave and Irene Woolnough.
An exhibition of the lifeboat's history, from a shed on Long Beach to the purpose-built station in the harbour used today, will be open on Saturday, July 27, for the launch of the Oyster Festival and Saturday, August 3 during Harbour Day.

Wonderful, Unionblue. On another thread, the Confederates were compared to the Nazis. Now on this one you bring on someone who compares them to communists.
I was under the impression the author of the article was likening the Confederacy to those coup attempts in South America, saying the 'revolution' was for one thing, when it was actually for something else. With four, direct Confederate ancestors of my own, I am also of the opinion they were not 'communists' in any true sense of the word. Sorry if I gave offense, as it was not intended, but the paragraph was presented so the second one would not be out of context.
This latest quoted person's objection to secession is to argue the morality of slavery. That is a separate question and does not speak to the legal question of secession, which is what was being discussed before.
I was under the impression that we were trying to compare the Declaration of Independence and its listed reasons for the separation from England so that we could compare them with the reasons the South separated from the Union. In my view, it would be totally impossible to do so without the issue of slavery, as it was a primary reason the South seceded from the Union.
Maintaining that one : "rebellion" is justifiable because in your opinion its based on positive moral principles, and saying another is illegal because in your opinion it isn't based on sound moral principles is an absurdity. Mixing a moral question with a legal one answers neither.
Neither was the rebellion of 1776 a legal matter, as no rebellion is grounded in law, but in moral principles. The Founders knew this. What's that line from the movie, 1776 by the character that plays Ben Franklin? "Rebellion is illegal in the third person, such as "their rebellion." "It is only legal in the first person, such as "our rebellion." I submit rebellions are mostly resorted to for moral reasons than legal ones.
The issue of slavery was of course the catalyst issue, but it wasn't the only one. The larger question was (and to a degree still is) how much authority the federal government rightfully has over the states.
The issue of slavery was "the largest tree in the forrest" as General Gordon stated after the war. Again, when comparing the reasons the colonies of 1776 rebelled against England, and the reason the South rebelled against the Union, I see very little in comparison from one to the other.
Belief does not make truth. Evidence makes truth. And belief does not make evidence.

Dale Lawrence will play a reunion show with the Gizmos on Dec. 29 at White Rabbit Cabaret. / Star file photo
The Vulgar Boatmen perform Margaret Says in Barrington, Ill., in 1992:
Today marks the ninth installment of a series that looks at the top musicians, ranked in order, in Indiana history. The list includes representatives of blues, pop, country, hip-hop, R&B, rock, classical, jazz, Broadway and punk rock styles. Look for the No. 16 musician to be unveiled at 7 a.m. tomorrow.
17. Dale Lawrence
Dale Lawrence supplied the rootsy jangle when two underground styles -- punk and indie rock -- surfaced in Indiana.
The singer-songwriter played in the second version of the states first punk band, the Gizmos, and hes led the Vulgar Boatmen through two decades of critical acclaim.
Born in 1956, Lawrence grew up in rural LaPorte County about 30 miles west of South Bend.
The Bloomington-based Gizmos issued a self-titled EP in 1976 -- predating recordings by the Sex Pistols and Ramones. The songs were flippant, funny and politically incorrect.
While attending Indiana University in 1977, Lawrence joined the Gizmos and played guitar on the band's 1978 EP, Never Mind the Sex Pistols. When the Gizmos made a split album with the West Lafayette-based Dow Jones and the Industrials -- a 1980 gem titled "Hoosier Hysteria" -- Lawrence served as primary vocalist and songwriter.
The Gizmos appeared as the supporting act when the Ramones played Bloomington on Dec. 5, 1979 -- a rare occasion in which the college town supported punk rock, according to Lawrence.
"The thing I always find hardest to get across is how foreign all this stuff was -- how uncool it seemed to the general populace. We were very much alone," Lawrence told The Indianapolis Star in 2000.
The Gizmos moved to New York, but that didnt work out and the band broke up within a year. One of the Gizmos contributions to Hoosier Hysteria is a song titled Rock n Roll Dont Come from New York, featuring the line, Thank God Im from the country, I can teach you how to rock n roll.
Lawrence will play a Gizmos reunion show on Dec. 29 at White Rabbit Cabaret in Fountain Square.
By the mid-1980s, Lawrence was back in Indiana and writing songs with Robert Ray -- a professor at the University of Florida who led a band known as the Vulgar Boatmen. They collaborated via cassettes sent by mail, and eventually two versions of the Boatmen made live appearances: one based in Indianapolis and one based in Gainesville.
The Boatmen specialized in clean, refined pop-rock -- skittering along a rhythmic path established by Bo Diddley and later perverted by the Velvet Underground. The music press embraced two indie albums by the Boatmen: 1989s You and Your Sister and 1992s Please Panic. The band signed a major-label deal, but 1995s Opposite Sex album was released only in Europe.
Ira Robbins, co-founder of Trouser Press magazine, characterized the Boatmen as being (among) the most exceptional -- and criminally uncelebrated -- musicians I've ever encountered.
Recent compilations have made unreleased material by the Gizmos ("1981 NYC Demos," 2001) and Boatmen ("Wide Awake," 2003) available to hear.
The Boatmen, who make sporadic appearances at venues in Illinois and Indiana, played on the final bill at Broad Ripples Patio nightclub in 2005, and the band opened for the Strokes as part of a memorable 2001 show at Birdys.
A film documentary titled "Drive Somewhere: The Saga of the Vulgar Boatmen" was released in 2010.
Finally, its worth noting Lawrences interest in high school basketball. Hes the author of "Hoosier Hysteria Road Book: A Guide to the Byways of Indiana High School Basketball," published in 2001 by South Bend-based Diamond Communications.
Essential songs: "Change the World All Around, Mary Jane, Rock n Roll Dont Come from New York. (See the accompanying Spotify playlist).
He said it: In New York, we got lost in the shuffle and we felt that we were just playing in a void. In Bloomington, at least people disliked us, Lawrence, telling The Indianapolis Star about the Gizmos in a 2000 interview.
About the series: The list of 25 top Hoosier musicians includes subjective selections by Indianapolis Star reporter David Lindquist. For this list, a Hoosier is defined as someone who helped shape the cultural identity of Indiana or someone whose identity was shaped by the state. Musicians will be revealed every weekday through Jan. 3.
Contact Star reporter David Lindquist at (317) 444-6404 or @317lindquist on Twitter.

Eight of 18 University of Hawaii sports programs exceeded the overall national average for the NCAA's Academic Performance Rate, it was announced today by UH and the NCAA.
The APR is a device to measure eligibility, graduation and retention of scholarship athletes.
The four-year rolling average this year was 974 according to the NCAA.
Men's swimming (977), women's cross country (986), softball, (980), soccer (978), women's swimming (995), women's tennis (976), women's indoor (982) and outdoor (982) track surpassed the national average.

They were: baseball, football, men's swimming and diving, women's cross country, softball, women's swimming and diving, women's indoor and outdoor track and field.
"I think we are going in the right direction," athletic director Ben Jay said. "Our scores reflect the attitude and commitment of our student-athletes toward academics and graduation."
Two UH teams, men's golf and men's tennis, had perfect scores of 1,000 for the 2011-'12 academic year, the most recently measured period.
Men's basketball had a four-year APR of 951 and was at 885 for 2011-'12.

(Also Called 'Medical Procedures That Cause Menopause - Disease/Disorder')
Natural menopause is the permanent ending of menstruation that is not brought on by any type of medical treatment. For women undergoing natural menopause, the process is described in three stages: perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause.
Perimenopause may begin in a woman's 40s. During this time, she may experience hot flashes and irregular periods due to declining ovarian function. Menopause is defined as the absence of a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months. However, not all women undergo natural menopause. Some women experience induced menopause as a result of surgery or medical treatments, such as chemotherapy and pelvic radiation therapy.
Surgical menopause occurs when a premenopausal woman has her ovaries surgically removed in a procedure called a bilateral oophorectomy. This causes an abrupt menopause, with women often experiencing more severe menopausal symptoms than if they were to experience menopause naturally.
In most cases, bilateral oophorectomy is performed because of cancer, including cervical, endometrial (cancer of the uterus), and ovarian cancer. Prophylactic bilateral oophorectomy may be performed in patients who are at increased risk for breast and ovarian cancer who carry a mutation in the BRCA gene. Occasionally, however, it may be done to treat non-cancerous conditions such as uterine fibroids, endometriosis, or infections.
Hysterectomy (the surgical removal of the uterus) can sometimes, though not always, include bilateral oophorectomy. Hysterectomy that does not involve removal of the ovaries usually does not result in menopause (although women who undergo a hysterectomy may experience menopause a few years earlier).
Other surgeries that may involve the removal of both ovaries include:
Medical treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy can cause menopause by damaging the ovaries. However, not all premenopausal women undergoing these procedures will experience induced menopause. Additionally, even if the ovaries are damaged, the damage is not always permanent.

Happening now: Sustainable West Seattle and friends build 'Presto Garden' to help White Center Food BankMay 18, 2013 at 3:38 pm | In Sustainable West Seattle, West Seattle news | 5 Comments

Thanks to Kate Kaemerle from Sustainable West Seattle for sharing updates from the "Presto Garden" project that's now moved on to the planting stage at Westcrest Park P-Patch in Highland Park. It was just a couple of hours ago that volunteers were putting down compost, as shown in an earlier photo from Kate:
And a few hours before that, we caught up with Kate and Bill Reiswig getting ready at the West Seattle Tool Library:

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW)-- Area students had the chance to express themselves through art.
Highland Park High School students joined college student mentors from Metropolitan State University in Denver, in what organizers described as an "odyssey of the mind."
The goal was to help students understand art from both a cultural and critical thinking point of view.
Students helped paint an indoor mural on canvas representing Dia de los Muertos or day of the dead, which was created by a master artist.
Other students braved the cold and rainy weather to collaborate on spray art mural work.

Sarah Palin....
Ok, so to start off, I am not trying to start a fire storm or get people running every slander and swear word towards me, but I need to say a few words about Sarah Palin. I will not reveal who I am voting for, nor should it matter.
To start off, I agreed with John McCain about the lack of experience on Barak Obama's side. But to pick a woman has been the governor of a state whos entire population is smaller than many of our major cities. Prior to that, she was mayor of about 8,000 people. Thats It....
Then there is the matter of the relationship between the president and vice president. Do you feel it is an important one. One where maybe chemistry and history plays a role? McCain met Sarah Palin once in a meeting, then the next time they spoke, he called her about being the vice president. Thats It...
Then there is the fact that she has ZERO national and international experience, both important, and very broad aspects of any high level Washington political position. Pretty sure Russia and more importantly China, are superpowers, one of which controls an unreal amount of our money.
Then there are the issues of funding a campain for aerial "hunting," which is no more than chasing an animal until it cant run anymore from a helicopter, then shooting it up close when it is exhausted. And lets not forget about "The Bridge/Road to Nowhere" in which she wasted so much god damn money on a ridiculous project. The list goes on but these are the points I have the most curiosity on.
I will tell you I am probably one of the few undecided votes out there, and one who grew up in a non-partisian household. Please feel free to share any views you have about Palin or the Presidential Race in general. I love to hear every side of the story/opinion. And welcome many debates/discussions on this or any topic. Its an important time for our lives, county and economy.

Red Tears
This world we're living in, Everything, at some point in their lives cry blood.
Red Tears.
The clouds, the people, the sun and the tree's.
The fish, the moon, the plants and the bee's.
It's very hard to catch something actually crying red tears
As it only happens once in a life time.
No blade, no knife, its just the way of life.

Sheldon Field Goal Caps 16-Point Comeback for Central
Posted By Sports On October 10, 2011 @ 5:57 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
The Central College football team rallied from 16 points down and earned a last minute 33-30 win over Buena Vista in front of the home fans Saturday afternoon at Schipper Stadium.
The Beavers took advantage of an interception, a fumble and a blocked punt to grab a 16-0 nothing lead early in the second quarter, and they led 30-20 at intermission despite a Josh Osborn 54 yard touchdown sprint, and scoring runs of 4 and 73 yards from Nate Snead.
Neither team scored in the third, and the Dutch got within 30-23 when Kevin Sheldon nailed a 40-yard field goal early in the fourth. Preston West's 36-yard touchdown run tied it, and the Dutch got their first lead of the game with just over two minutes remaining on a 19-yard field goal by Sheldon. Trevor Castle called the game live on 92.1 KRLS Saturday afternoon.
After Sheldon's field goal, the Beavers returned the kick 55 yards to the Central 47, but the Dutch came up with 2 sacks, and stopped a 4th down pass one yard short of a first down. The furious comeback lifts Central's record to 4-2, and they're 3-1 in the Iowa Conference.
Hear more about the game, and next Saturday's game at Loras, when Dutch head coach Jeff McMartin joins us tonight at 7:00 p.m. at Applebee's for the Central College Radio Coaches Corner on KNIA/KRLS.

Quentin Williams threw for 120 yards and one touchdown and Bethune-Cookman held off Florida A&M 21-16 on Saturday.
Williams also rushed for 86 yards for the Wildcats (9-2, 8-0 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference), who won their seventh consecutive game and 13th in conference play dating back to last season. Bethune-Cookman had already clinched the conference championship and a berth in the FCS playoffs.
Bethune-Cookman scored on consecutive possessions to take a 21-10 lead. Isidore Jackson scored on a 34-yard run with 3:13 remaining in the third quarter and Andronicus Lovette added a 1-yard rushing score with 11:30 left.
Florida A&M (4-7, 4-4) cut the lead to 21-16 when Damien Fleming connected with Dewayne Harvey for a 37-yard score with 8:04 remaining. The Rattlers had the ball in Bethune-Cookman's territory late in the game, but a fumble by Fleming gave the ball back to the Wildcats who ran out the clock.

The Butcher And The Vegetarian: One Woman's Romp Through a World of Men, Meat, and Moral Crisis
What do you do when you've been raised as a vegetarian but are told as an adult, by a doctor, that the only way left to treat your persistent, debilitating exhaustion is to eat meat?
When faced with this dilemma, Tara Austen Weaver decided that, if she were to eat meat, she would do it conscientiously. This book covers her explorations into the world of carnivorism, starting with her first, nervous trip to the local butcher shop-where, like a priest in a porn store, she buys chicken bits for stock quickly and with her head down-and culminating in a visit to sustainable, organic Prather Ranch in Northern California, where Weaver watches a cow being slaughtered. She seeks meat that was raised humanely and with respect for environmental issues. She also, of course, wants to make herself feel better. Deliciously.
Weaver skillfully depicts the barbecues and farms that she visits in the name of research, but her storytelling meanders a bit and repeats itself. She's an award-winning blogger, and it shows: chapters read like posts, where none is reliant on the one before it. This is a skill, for sure, but in book form, it creates a narrative whose timeline gets tangled and has many "Can you believe this? ME eating MEAT?!" moments. She poses interesting larger-scale questions-is meat the territory of men? Will Americans' unhealthy meat consumption and farming practices continue despite experts' warnings?-and illuminates conscientious participation in one's own diet. And, after a hearty foray into the pleasures of the flesh (and flank, and marrow, and skirt steak), Weaver finds an unexpected balance that revitalizes her health and matches her values.

Originally a Mayan fishing village but still an active fishing town, Puerto Morelos is the perfect contrast to the fast lane of Cancun and the sophistication of Playa del Carmen. Only a 20-minute drive south of Cancun International Airport, Puerto Morelos is a quiet retreat from the faster pace and excitement of the Cancun hotel zone.
Puerto Morelos' small town charm attracts more visitors every year, especially for nature lovers who prefer a laid back environment filled with inspiring outdoor marvels and activities. Although the town is small, it has more than enough travel amenities to keep visitors comfortable.
The beaches in Puerto Morelos are mostly undefiled by tourism and retain much of their natural character without cafes, bars, and souvenir shops. Beaches line both the north and south side of the zocalo (town square), but one of the best-kept beaches by the town square is next to the seaside restaurant of Los Pelicanos.
Some of the most impressive natural wonders in the Yucatan Peninsula are cenotes, sinkholes with natural wells fed by underground rivers. Some are underground with cave-like formations, such as stalactites, stalagmites, and columns, whereas some are above ground, resembling small lakes. Since cenotes are known for their crystal clear blue water and colorful fish, they are an ideal place for snorkeling and scuba diving.
Some of the most beautiful cenotes in this region are on the Cenotes Route, such as Lucero Verde, Boca del Puma, Siete bocas, and Las Mojarras each of them having their own unique characteristics.
Along the Cenotes Route is an adventure, nature park called the Selvatica which offers various adventures, such as zip-lining, horseback riding, and snorkeling in an on-site cenote. It's a gorgeous place to go zip-lining or taking a bicycle ride through the lush green tropical jungle.
Since Puerto Morelos is in an area of the Caribbean Sea that contains the great Mesoamerican Barrier Reef – a protected National Marine park – it's a great place to go snorkeling, scuba diving, and fishing. The coral reef is full of beautiful fish, other marine life, and colorful coral compositions.
Puerto Morelos offers world-class fishing for Marlin, Sailfish, Dorado (Mahi Mahi), Bonito, and Barracuda. Every year, the town hosts a popular fishing tournament called Torneo de Pesca Deportiva at the end of May or early June.
Some of the most delicious and enjoyable restaurants are located in Puerto Morelos, whether it's casual cafes and bars, or gourmet International cuisine. As a fishing village, this is the perfect place to eat some of the best fresh fish dishes. Restaurant owners usually oversee meal preparations, giving meals an extra personal touch.
The nightlife in Puerto Morelos consists of eating out and listening to live music performed at various restaurants. When going out in Puerto Morelos, proper attire is "anything goes!"
Marina El Cid Restaurant: Featuring seafood and International cuisine. Located in front of the Safe Port (marina), north of the town square. Has a fresh, large palapa with a full view of the marina.
Dona Triny's Restaurant: Featuring traditional Mexican cuisine. Located next to the bookstore in the town square. A unique taste of Mexico!
El Viejo Pescador: Feature seafood and Mexican food. Located upstairs from the supermarket in the town square.

We do and I have had it only once really. I tend to forget about it but I did find it to be like you said a nice, refreshing lager. Just wish it wasn't owned by SABMiller lol.
Haha. Just remembered the Italian restaurant does it on tap near where I live too. Think I'll have to have a pint next time I'm there. To be fair, probably the best brand to come out of SABMiller. Pilsner Urquell is nice as well...has a bit more of a bitter taste but again...refreshing.
Never been bothered about Miller Lite/Genuine or anything. Looks a bit 'watery'.

News Center > Consumer Advisory Mental Health Parity and Adiction Equity Act Compliance
September 26, 2013
Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act Compliance
Under the federal Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, large group plans (employer-based plans for employers with more than 50 full-time employees) that offer coverage for mental health or substance use disorders must provide benefits that are comparable to benefits for medical/surgical services. For example, copays, deductibles, limits on the number of visits, and utilization management standards for mental health benefits may not be more restrictive than benefits for medical/surgical services. Individual and small group policies (employer-based plans for employers with 2 to 50 full-time employees) issued on or after January 1, 2014, will also be required to comply with this federal law.
If you think that your health insurance carrier has not given you comparable benefits, you have the right to file a complaint with the Maryland Insurance Administration (MIA) or through your carrier's internal appeal process.* Complaints filed with the MIA must be received in writing and include a signed consent form.

Sheesh - that took FOREVER.
Life since last August (at least from a running perspective) has NOT been good. The tendonitis that struck in August while training for the Air Force marathon sidelined me for WAY too long...once that was better, a slew of other issues/aches/pains befell me (the latest being a pretty nasty case of PF), and running was put on indefinite hold. The main issue I had after that was the fact that while I was no longer running, I decided to continue to eat like I was running 20-30 miles per week. Yeah - not a good idea.
My clothes don't fit right, I feel heavy, look heavy, and am generally unhappy with myself. The family went to Kings Island (we have season passes...LOVE it!) last weekend, and sitting in some of the rides was VERY uncomfortable. This really sucks, as I'm a roller coaster freak, and hate having to wedge myself into the seats and suck in the gut to get the restraints buckled. By the end of the summer, that issue should be resolved, however. Starting point as of this past Monday is 292. I don't like that number. At all...
I am signed up for the Vandalia Freedom Run 5k on the 4th of July, so I decided I should start doing something about that to...like...I don't know...maybe prepare for it? Seems like a good idea, so last night I got home from work, gathered up the two kids that were in the house (the third is at boy scout summer camp), and headed out for the Y. 30 minutes doing hill type intervals on the elliptical were followed by me stepping on my old friend Treadmill for the first time since...well...I'm not sure, but it's been a long time - that I can assure you... I walked a quarter mile to remind myself how this thing worked, then put the incline at 1.0, and set the speed for a 12 minute mile. Yes - a 12 minute mile. Hey - it's still running for me, right? Speed doesn't matter right now - I'm trying to get back into some sort of shape that's not reminiscent of a pear, or something round and bulbous. Once I'm on my way and comfortable with this whole running thing again, the speed will come. Right now - just get away from Thee Evile Couch Monster...
I'd like to say that the mile was beautiful, and no problem, and I finished it without a second thought, and I can't wait to do it again...well, I CAN say that last part, but the truth is it sucked...it was hard, painful (well, uncomfortable, anyway), exhausting, and I felt like it would never end. But, end it did, and I was treated to those old familiar feelings of having pushed myself again, and I knew this was where I was supposed to be again. My heel (still a few twinges of PF) is not so sure, but it will come around.
Anyway - mile 1 is done. There will be another one this evening, and many more to come. I'll keep you posted.
Embrace this moment.
Remember - we are eternal, all this pain is an illusion.
Starting up again after some time off sucks the big one. Good luck
Welcome back!!! I was starting to think "back in the days when Loopy blooped." The first mile is the hardest. Well really the next couple days of miles might be harder, but you know what I mean. Just stand up and glare at that couch and say "F you couch! You suck!"
Life's a little better when we run.
I sent you a private message about a tip on helping PF.... working wonders for me.
Glad to hear you're fought off the Evile Couch Monster and getting back to running again!
Welcome back! It's hard getting back into it but it goes quickly.
I ramble...
One mile at a time, Loopy, and soon you'll be back in business.
oooo, starting up again is so not fun! Good luck to you and remember to cut yourself some slack. And I like what Speet said- F YOU COUCH! Maybe I'll try that some time, but maybe not yell it cause I don't want to hurt my couch's feelings, just let it know I need some space ya know? I'll tell the couch that it's not you, it's me....
My head is on fire
But my legs are fine
After all they are mine...
The first mile back is always the hardest. Good job getting back on the horse, Loopy!
That first mile is always the hardest! It's all downhill from here
Well, looks like you're doing the hard part ok. It's the first mile that counts! We'll keep you accountable!
"Glory is Fleeting, Anonymity is Forever"
Speed+Pavement = a fling
Distance+Trails = True Love
The first run back always feels like ****. Keep yer chin up!
The first mile is for sure the hardest. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and keep us informed. We are here for the support!
Running = Happiness
So glad you're back to it! Stay away from that couch monster!
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step
-Lao Tzu
I missed you!!!! I know you'll get back in shape, just focus on how good the milestones feel as you're ramping up:-) Something is always better than nothing, even if it's a really horrible single mile. You got this!!!!!
Did you ever try the Strassburg sock for PF? Fixed me right up.
I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 26.2.
You're on the right track. Tell couch monster to step aside.
Glad to hear that you're back at it! It's going to be tough/humbling for a little while but you'll see progress soon enough.
I had a similar thing happen last winter - was hurt but still ate like I was running 50 miles per and got the expected result (ill fitting clothes, etc, etc). Luckily the weight is coming back off as I've been building up the running and watching what I eat.
Welcome back! Coming back from injury/time off is never easy, but good luck getting back into the swing of things!
Mile 2 will be better.
Nice pun!
I like your passive/aggressive way with the couch...best not to hurt the poor furnitures feelings, or it might let a spring loose next time you want to use it...
A 12:00 mile is still pretty standard for me! I'm just not fast. But we're still runners and we're still out there doing it.
i feel like i'm starting up after a long absence too, it feels like it takes forever to get back, but you'll get the hang of it, and start to pick up momentum (seriously, it feels like there is a physical momentum associated with being in the groove of running)
Glad you're back Loop!!!
"Anything that gets your blood racing is probably worth doing" - Hunter S. Thompson
Welcome back! The first one is done and you've made yourself accountable by blooping about the race!
You are on the right track. Congrats on having the courage to get back at it!
My thoughts exactly!
Run fun! ~Mike
Getting that first mile in is a step in the right direction! The 4th of July is right around the corner though.
Don't be round and bulbous if you can help it.
Attitude is everything
Thanks everyone! Can't wait to start really going again, and racking up the miles. It's been WAY too long...

One woman is dead, and other people are recovering after an accident on Nicholasville Rd.
It happened just after two in the afternoon on Saturday.
Eyewitnesses say one car plowed into the side of the other near the intersection of Nicholasville and Southpointe Dr.
At the time of the crash witnesses and other drivers stopped to help the people involved.
Two witnesses told 27 Newsfirst that they actually pulled one victim out of her car where she was trapped inside unconscious.
Other witnesses gave CPR to that same victim while they waited for emergency crews to arrive.
Police say at least two people involved in the crash were taken to UK Hospital for treatment.
The names of those people are not being released at this time, nor is the name of the woman who was killed.

[562] Differential Expression of the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Regulator ZEB1 in Thyroid Carcinomas
Celina Montemayor-Garcia, Heather Hardin, Darya Buehler, Herbert Chen, Ricardo V Lloyd. University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, WI
Background: The Zinc-finger E-box-binding homeobox1 (ZEB1) induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and down-regulates E-cadherin in epithelial cells. ZEB1 is regulated by transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF Beta 1) and other signaling proteins. We examined the expression of ZEB1, E-cadherin, TGF Beta receptor 2 (TGFBetaR2), SMAD4 and SMAD7 in benign thyroid tissues, well differentiated and anaplastic thyroid carcinomas (ATC) by immunohistochemistry (IHC).
Design: Ten ATC, 32 follicular adenomas (FA), 28 follicular carcinomas (FTC), 57 papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC) including 29 follicular variant of PTC, 10 multinodular goiters and 10 normal thyroids were used in a formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue microarray (TMA) analysis. IHC was scored based on the percentage of cells stained. The expression of ZEB1 and E-cadherin were also analyzed by quantitative reverse transcriptase- polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR) in 3 cell lines- including a normal thyroid cell line, PTC and ATC cell lines.
Results: Most (6/10) ATC showed strong nuclear staining for ZEB1 while 3/10 ATC cases showed only focal staining for E- cadherin. One (1/28) FTC was positive for ZEB1, while all FTC were positive for E-cadherin. ZEB1 expression in ATC was significantly different from that in FTC (p<0.001). All cases of PTC, FA and nonneoplastic thyroids were negative for ZEB1, but positive for E-cadherin. Q RT-PCR showed the highest levels of ZEB1 mRNA expression in the ATC while E-cadherin was highest in the normal thyroid cell line.
Conclusions: The EMT regulator ZEB1 is expressed in ATC and is associated with loss of E-cadherin supporting the role of EMT in ATC. TGFBeta R2, SMAD4 and SMAD7 are expressed in benign thyroid tissues, well differentiated and ATC indicating preservation of TGFBeta1 signaling in thyroid carcinomas during EMT.

Poster Session I Stowell-Orbison/Surgical Pathology/Autopsy Awards Poster Session # 86, Monday Morning


text:
This magazine has taken a rather hard line when it comes to the subset of premium crossovers best identified as "swoopy sporty things." We gave lukewarm reviews to our departed Four Seasons Infiniti EX35 and Acura ZDX, despite their strong driving dynamics and solid reliability, because we simply could not figure out what purpose they served better than existing alternatives. The promise of a sporty car, an SUV, and a luxury sedan wrapped into one vehicle seems to add up to poor headroom and a higher price than you'd pay for an equivalent car or crossover.
"Can it stay cool for a whole year?"
All of this raises the question of why we'd consider repeating this exercise with yet another "swoopy sporty thing," the Range Rover Evoque. In fact, there are several reasons. First, the Evoque differs from most performance crossovers in that it's relatively small and fuel efficient, as evidenced by its 28 mpg EPA rating on the highway. That size also makes it easy and engaging to drive, a quality enhanced by lovely, perfectly weighted steering and excellent body control. Finally, the Evoque brings off-road pedigree and prowess fitting its Land Rover badge (see Ezra Dyer's water-logged first drive for proof).
The most compelling factor in the new Range Rover's favor, though, is that it's so cool. The Evoque is blessed with the sort of charisma that makes you overlook practical concerns -- like seeing out the back -- and just plain want it. We liked the Evoque enough to include it in our 2012 All Stars, our annual list of vehicles we'd put in our dream garage.
And now we have one in our real garage. Our Fuji white four-door Evoque comes, as do all Evoques, with all-wheel-drive and a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder good for 240 hp. It also has a raft of standard electronic driving aids, including roll stability control, hill descent control, and -- thank goodness -- a backup camera. The interior is executed with Range Rover's typical expertise and taste, and includes leather seats, an eight-inch color touch screen, Bluetooth connectivity, and an iPod connector. Not bad for a base price of $41,995. To that, we added the $5890 premium Xenon package, which includes HID headlamps plus navigation, passive entry, a seventeen-speaker sound system, and surround-view cameras (normally, this package includes automatic high beams, but ours does not and thus saves $110). Thinking ahead to next winter, we got the climate comfort pack for its heated front seats, heated steering wheel, heated washer fluid, and heated windshield.
We'll be curious to see if the Evoque can sustain its 1000-watt charm over a year of family vacations, carpool duty, grocery runs, and camping trips. We also hope Land Rover has conquered its historical build-quality bugaboos -- but will be sure to tell you if it hasn't.

Everything he did? PLEAZE!!!!!! He's only concerned about JEFF!
Best Gay Activist Orange County 2008 - Jeff LeTourneau
We're not exactly sure why areas dominated by conservatives have such colorful homosexual tales, but we do know you can't talk about OC gay history without mentioning Jeff LeTourneau any more than you could exclude Mission Viejo Olympian Greg Louganis or the annual fund-raiser Splash-O-Rama in Laguna Beach. The 1980s were a time when local homophobes proudly stuck "Kill Foggots" [sic] stickers on their car bumpers and politicians pushed for punitive laws that would consign gays and lesbians to second-class citizenship. LeTourneau was one of the few who spoke out against the hysteria. He helped create the Orange County Visibility League, the Eleanor Roosevelt Democratic Club and the local staging of OC's first National Coming Out Day celebration. He publicly challenged the local congressmen who blocked federal funding for AIDS research. In 1988, Sallie Dornan, wife of then-Representative Robert Dornan, shouted, "Shut up, fag!" at LeTourneau during a town-hall meeting. Since then, LeTourneau, a private investigator by trade, has remained an instrumental player in the fight for gay equality. He still contributes time and money to his causes without much fanfare. Even gay jail inmates owe him a huge debt. He's the one who pushed for reforms when institutional bigotry blocked them from getting proper medical attention. So, here we are in 2008. There's another anti-gay measure, Proposition 8, facing California voters in November, and who has been at the forefront of opposition? Yep, Jeff LeTourneau.
I don't remember seeing you doing anything with/for the rest of us. Jeff was there when other gay politicos were working hard to curry favor with the enemy.
@ noneofyourbusiness: I don't remember seeing you did for/with the rest us.
Let me speak from experience... Jeff LeTourneau is by far the most dedicated, honest, loyal human I've met on this planet. We may have had our differences on small issues but the man is whole in his purpose (and if you want to get ugly with the choice of the word "whole - vs. hole", I'm one of the few that's been there and I wear that title proudly). I know there are a populous that needs help. What more can one individual do. Please direct your frustruations toward the author, not the subject. He's, hands-down, the most fair individual I have ever known. Peace out, my Friend:)

Eclipse sells over 2 million copies
Posted by Gina Luck in Book News
We are absolutely delighted to announce that Eclipse, by Stephenie Meyer, has sold OVER TWO MILLION COPIES! And it's only the 10th children's book to ever do that.
Isn't that rather exciting chaps and chapesses? We think we're going to reward ourselves with some cake and a cup of tea. (Publishing is so rock'n'roll.)
Whilst we do that, maybe you should go and re-read Eclipse, because, y'know, it's GREAT in every way.
p.s. we think we feel another competition coming on (we just can't help ourselves these days) so keep an eye out for one before the end of the week…

Why did the average American go online? For no particular reason (Ba-dum-bum).
Although this may not become the newest joke anytime soon, it's actually a true statement. According to a new report from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, 53 percent of 18- to 29-year-old Americans go online just for fun or to waste time. With 2,260 participating adults, it turns out that 58 percent of all adults go online for the same reason.

Online Courses for Elementary and High School Students?
In an effort to accommodate students with varying levels of advancement and in reaction to state budgetary cuts, at least 30 states in the US now let elementary and high school students take all their courses online.
According to Evergreen Education Group, a consulting firm that works with online schools, an estimated 250,000 students nationwide are enrolled in full-time virtual schools, a 40 percent increase in the last three years. And the International Association for K-12 Online Learning, a trade group, says two million kids take at least one class online.
Prestigious Waldorf Private School Keeps Computers Away from Kids
The 160 Waldorf private schools in the United States boast an impressive student body: the children of tech luminaries from firms like eBay, Google, Apple, Yahoo and Hewlett-Packard.
But what makes Waldorf a seemingly odd choice for such parents is that until kids are in the eighth grade, the school is completely unwired with not a computer screen to be found.

Edith Cowan University's (ECU's) research capabilities will be boosted with the University receiving more than $5.6 million as part of the Federal Government's Collaborative Research Networks (CRN) program.
The CRN allows selected universities to team up with other institutions to increase their research capacity through appointing additional research staff, sharing knowledge and developing inter-institutional exchange programs for research students and staff.
ECU is the only WA university to receive the funding. It will collaborate with researchers from the Universities of Adelaide, Melbourne, Queensland, South Australia, Sydney and Western Australia, Deakin University, Flinders University, and Queensland University of Technology.
They will work on issues including the promotion of health and wellbeing in young people; exercise as medicine; community-based health care; nano-photonics and nano-electronics; protection of marine and coastal ecosystems; and education technologies.
ECU is already committed to expanding its research capacity, having increased its annual strategic research budget from $5 million in 2008 to over $9 million in 2011.
The CRN funding will benefit over 250 ECU research staff. It will create new research staff positions, facilitate visiting fellowships and support exchanges of co-supervisors of research students.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research & Advancement) Professor John Finlay-Jones welcomed the funding announcement.
"This is a significant opportunity for ECU to build on its commitment to research by sharing expertise with some of Australia's eminent universities. It's also a great chance for our staff and students, who will benefit from collaborations and supervision with researchers from around the country," Professor Finlay-Jones said.
"I see the funding allocation as reflecting both the quality of our proposed partners and the potential for ECU to deliver good outcomes in those partnerships."
In one of the six projects, Foundation Professor of Exercise & Sports Science Rob Newton and his team will work with researchers at the Universities of Queensland, Sydney and Western Australia to expand their understanding of the critical role of exercise as medicine for prevention and management of chronic diseases.
"Appropriate exercise prescription has proven to be as effective as drug interventions for prevention and management of diseases such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes. The CRN funding will draw together Australia's leading exercise scientists to collaboratively tackle these leading causes of illness and death in our society." Professor Newton said.

E16 Charter Schools
E16 Charter School Program

Fax: 781-338-3220
E-mail: email@example.com
The first Charter Schools opened in 1995, as mandated by the Education Reform Act of 1993. They are public schools but differ in that they are governed by a diverse board of trustees comprised of local parents, educators and community leaders. They are accountable to the terms of their charters as well as state and federal public school law. They have the freedom to organize around a core mission, curriculum, theme, or teaching method, and are allowed to control their own budgets, hire (and fire) teachers and staff. They are public schools, which complement, not compete with, the other public schools, and are held to the same high standards. Charters are granted for a period of five years subject to renewal and contingent upon the school's ability to deliver quality educational results and successfully meet the goals of its charter.
E17 School Choice Program
Department of Elementary and Secondary Education

Malden, MA 02148-4906
Tel: 781-338-6585
The Massachusetts school choice law (General Laws Chapter 76, Section 12B) was enacted in 1991 to allow parents to send their children to public schools in communities other than that in which they reside. School committees choose whether or not to become school choice receiving districts, and they may designate a maximum number of available school choice seats for an upcoming year. If there are more applicants than available openings, the selection of students must be conducted on a random basis, and must be free from discrimination on the basis of race, color, religious creed, national original, sex, age, sexual orientation, ancestry, athletic performance, physical handicap, special need or academic proficiency. Regulations governing a reimbursement program which allows for the reimbursement of transportation costs to low income parents whose children are participating in school choice are in place.

Going to have a bit of a James Gandolfini tribute night tonight and watch his last film. I'll probably dig out my favourite Sopranos episode (Pine Barrens) if I have chance too.
Tony Soprano: [over the phone] It's a bad connection so I'm gonna talk fast! The guy you're looking for is an ex-commando! He killed sixteen Chechen rebels single-handed!
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Get the f*** outta here.
Tony Soprano: Yeah. Nice, huh? He was with the Interior Ministry. Guy's like a Russian green beret. He can not come back and tell this story. You understand?
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: I hear you.
[hangs up]
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: You're not gonna believe this. He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians. Guy was an interior decorator.
Christopher Moltisanti: His house looked like shit.
Meanwhile for those following the conflict in Syria there seems to be quite an interesting development that offers a very real potential obstacle to the UK government's crazed intention of arming the "rebels". As you can see from this report just in, such lunacy will also have implications for Syria's Kurish minority.
AMMAN (Reuters) - Islamist rebels have cut access to a Kurdish area in northern Syria and clashed with Kurdish nationalist PKK fighters whom they accuse of backing President Bashar al-Assad, sources on both sides said on Thursday.
The confrontation threatens to open a new front in Syria's 27-month-old civil war, in which Kurds, who form about 10 percent of the population, have so far played a limited role.
Fighting erupted overnight on the edge of Ifrin, a rugged, olive-growing area on the Turkish border, the sources said. Four people were killed, bringing to at least 30 the death toll from battles and assassinations in the last few days. Dozens more have been taken in tit-for-tat kidnappings, the sources said.
Tensions between Arabs and Kurds, whose relationship is riven by land disputes, especially in eastern Syria, have risen since the uprising against Assad erupted in March 2011.
In a totally different development yesterday I managed to find that Tesco was offering giant 500g jars of Marmite for just £2.20. Considering that 250g costs £2.58 this is probably the cheapest I've ever seen it. To put this into perspective for lovers of the brown stuff like myself, this works out at only £4400 per ton. Fill your boots while you can checking the expiry date whilst so doing.
