Morgan Shank rapped a song after the showing of his video, 'Delaware State Of Mind,' at Big Chill Surf Cantina near Rehoboth Beach.
- Filed Under
Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood. But if you watch Morgan Shank's newest music video, you just might want to stay put in Delaware.
His video, "Delaware State of Mind," pays homage to Delaware in song, based off the Jay-Z hit, "Empire State of Mind."
Shank, 26, is a seventh generation Delawarean and said he wanted to destroy the reputation Delaware may have, thanks to other media - and he literally does, by smashing televisions that are showing Wayne's World at the start of the video. ...

Liewe Heksie creator Verna Vels diesComment on this story
JOHANNESBURG - South African writer Verna Vels, best known for being the creator of the endearing children's TV character 'Liewe Heksie', has died, JacarandaFM reported on Friday.
Vels, 81, died in her sleep in her Johannesburg home on Thursday evening after a battle with cancer, Lefra Productions confirmed to the radio station.
Vels, who was born in Reitz in the Free State on June 13, 1933, started her career in radio at the SABC in December 1954, according to Wikipedia.
At the time of her retirement in 1993, she was the woman who held the highest executive position in the South African television industry, as programme director of TV1, Afrikaans.
Vels was involved in the creation of Afrikaans children's programmes 'Kraaines' and 'Wielie Wielie Walie'; and she was also the voice behind the character 'Bennie Boekwurm'.
Her first Liewe Heksie (dear little witch) stories were broadcast on radio in 1961. She published 10 Liewe Heksie books, eight records and several CDs, videos and DVDs.
Her last book, 'Liewe Heksie en die rekenaar' ('Dear little witch and the computer'), was published in 1999.
The character made its TV debut in 1978 in a series of 26
programmes. A total of 52 episodes were made.
Vels was also the voice behind Liewe Heksie and her best friend 'Blommie Kabouter'.
More recently, Vels had written Liewe Heksie plays for children at theatres and arts festivals countrywide.
In an interview with JacarandaFM the day before her 80th birthday last year, she described the Liewe Heksie character as "a witch who was a little bit stupid", created to make children laugh, instead of scaring them.
"Heksie was really not written to educate children, but to make them laugh."
She said even though she had retired, she was still working twice a week on the set of the soapie '7de Laan'.
"It keeps you open-minded," she said, to which morning show host Rian van Heerden commented that she was the "ultimate career woman" of her time.
Vels laughed and replied: 'I was having too much fun to get married.' - Sapa

Figure-flattering ruched skirts
Ruching has long been hailed as the magic wand of the clothing world. Incorporated into maternity styles, it allows for weight fluctuation throughout the trimesters. For those of us in the post-baby stage, it beautifully camouflages any of our perceived figure flaws. In terms of this design feature, perhaps there's nothing better this summer than the ruched skirt. Mid-thigh to knee-length, these styles feel a bit Greek goddess-like (who doesn't love that?). Wear them now with sandals, but feel confident wearing them right through fall and winter with tights and sleek ankle booties.

|Evaluation and application of a broad-spectrum polymerase chain reaction assay for human papillomaviruses in the screening of squamous cell tumours of the head and neck.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 12953779 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: The results of studies analysing the prevalence of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) in squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck region often vary depending on the different molecular biological methods applied. Focusing on the histomorphological criteria of HPV infections, the percentage of HPV-positive cancers should be higher than has been found in most studies. The aim of this study was to increase the detection spectrum of HPV polymerase chain reaction (PCR) screening using degenerate consensus primers. MATERIAL AND METHODS: To increase the sensitivity of the assay to one copy of HPV DNA per cell, a two-step PCR was carried out. The products were directly sequenced by means of a cycle sequencing approach. Seventy biopsies from squamous cell carcinomas of the upper aerodigestive tract were screened using the primer system. RESULTS: According to the PCR results, 0/2 carcinomas of the floor of the mouth or tongue, 7/16 biopsies of oropharyngeal cancers, 3/13 hypopharyngeal cancers, 13/34 squamous cell carcinomas of the larynx, 4/4 biopsies from carcinomas of the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses and 1/1 squamous cell carcinoma of the parotid gland were positive. CONCLUSION: This broad-spectrum PCR can effectively detect HPV in head and neck cancers.

Crosscut Creek author Willoughby Johnson
(Editors note: This is the last excerpt from Willoughby Johnsons e-book Crosscut Creek: A Year of Fly Fishing on an Ozark Stream. Crosscut Creek is a pseudonym for a real trout stream in southwest Missouri. The creeks name in the book has been changed to protect it from overfishing.)
This is not the first time that Ive had to face the simple fact that in buying this farm I didnt buy a keep and castle. Instead I bought a junior membership in a vast web of human relationships that converge here. Thats not to say I shouldnt be able to do what I want on my land, or prevent others from doing what I dont want. Its just to say that achieving either of those things is far more complicated with myriad, unforeseen pitfalls than I ever could have imagined.
After Robert and I part ways I go back down to the creek and pick my way across the shallows above the deadfall to the far side. Up here is the Long Hole. This will be the first time Ive ever looked into it from this side: in the summer its so overgrown with brambles theres no way to get to this bank without a chainsaw or a brush hog. Even now, briars bloody the tops of my hands as I crawl to the edge of the high bank. Several large trout (and a couple of very big ones) cruise the depths, one of them wearing scarlet breeding colors. I gaze down at them for a few more minutes and then back carefully out of the brambles and make my way on upstream.
The Chute feeds the Long Hole. It runs deep and in the summer fast over flat slabs of living rock. Across from me, on the other side of the Chute, is the Island. Robert told me just this morning that for most of his life the creek ran on the far side of the island. Its only been in the last 10 years or so that the main channel moved.
Because theres not much gravel in the Chute there arent many bugs that hatch here, and so there normally arent any trout to speak of in here. So Im ambling along looking at nothing in particular when I see a flash of movement out the corner of my eye and look down to see 30 or 40 fingerling trout in a large, flowing school that surges away downstream. They just seem to keep coming and coming. Even if I temper my estimate there must have been at least twenty, moving as a body and quite determined to be any place in the creek where I am not.
Above the island I cross the creek again and walk the long way back south along the edge of the cornfield. Just below the Elbow I startle a kingfisher. Like me hes a fisherman, but unlike me its how he makes his living. To my mind its unsporting to fish during the spawn when the trout are exhausted and gullible. The kingfisher has no such scruples. To him the seasons sex-stupid prey is a grand thing indeed.
Below the Elbow the creek takes another sharp turn when it hits the old railroad embankment. Here it flows along the bluffs the Bluff Hole and then passes the Hidden Meadow. The Slough runs on the other side of the Hidden Meadow, emptying into the creek through a leaky beaver dam. Just down from there is the Sycamore Hole, a deep, blue-green rushing scour in front of the root ball of a gigantic downed sycamore. Below Sycamore Hole the Big Spring feeds into the creek. The Big Spring is actually on the far side of the railroad embankment, which is about 20 feet high right here. It runs at about thirty-five gallons a minute out of a small hole from under the roots of a gnarled old pin oak. Theres a nail in the tree where a cup used to hang. The water flows along the far side of the embankment before making its way under it. Then it flows a hundred yards or so through thick beds of watercress before joining the creek. Because the spring water never freezes, the watercress never has any idea that its winter. So even in January it thrives in this little side channel, tracing a brilliant green serpentine path through the winter-pale creek bottom.
Down from here the creek flows straight, wide, and shallow before crossing our property line with Wayne Hardy. Waynes farm lies between our farm and a publicly-owned section of stream, so he has quite a few people who, wittingly or not, try to fish on his land. Waynes a big man. He looks like he could lift one of his Holsteins over a fence if he wanted.
Waynes grandson Garrison hurries out of the white, cinder-block milking shed carrying what look like gigantic baby bottles. Hes on his way to feed some weaning calves. Its a gray, cold day, with a North wind and spitting snow, so Garrison barely stops when I ask after his Granddad. As he answers Wayne comes out the door of the milking shed. It takes him a moment to recognize me.
An assessing look from Wayne Hardy can make you nervous, even when you know him. Hes not a tall man but he somehow fills up a room or, for that matter, all of outdoors when you meet him. His hands are soft but thick and strong, his eyes are an arresting blue; hes generally clad in overalls and he nearly always has a cigarette in his hand.
The first time we met it wasnt clear whether Wayne was trying to introduce himself or pick a fight. It was July and Id been wet-wading down in the creek just in a t-shirt, jeans, and boots. After fishing I went up to Fast Freddies to get a Coke, take off my boots and socks, and generally get things put away and organized. I put my socks on the hood to dry and started taking down my rod, barefoot on the hot asphalt.
A truck pulled up, and Wayne got out and looked me up and down. He looked at the fly rod in my hands. Fly fisherman, huh? he said with derision. He looked down at my feet. You need some shoes? Im sure weve got some back at the house you could have. He looked me in the eye a hard look I can see even now. He turned to walk into the store, stopped after a couple steps, and turned back. Say, he said, youre not the kid who bought Frankie Bards are you? We talked for two hours there in the parking lot, leaning against the bed of Waynes truck.
Wayne moves his cigarette to the other hand and we shake hands and now that hes placed me he grins and demands that the girls get out of the truck and come in to see how you milk a cow.
Waynes is a fairly small but efficient operation; he milks six cows at a time. His son, Tony, is doing most of the work. When six cows are finished milking, Tony pulls a handle and doors on either end of the shed open. The cows that have finished file out obediently and the next six cows come in, three to a side. Tony dips the teat cups yep, thats what theyre called in disinfectant and places them on the udders of the six cows. The milks sucked from their udders into a common tube and goes into the next room, where theres a 400-gallon, refrigerated stainless-steel tank. Once a day a truck comes from Springfield to collect the milk and take it back to the city.
The girls seem fairly interested but theyre not blown away. Wayne regards them with an uncharacteristically gentle look. Garrison comes in, and Wayne says, Garrison take these girls out to feed those twins. They follow, and a couple minutes later Garrison comes back in grinning. Theres two calves Im not gonna have to feed today. Wayne wanders outside to see how the girls are getting along with the twins. Later P.O.M. will tell me the girls had the time of their lives babying the calves, forgot to be cold, and Wayne gave her an eye-poppingly graphic account of Holstein reproduction and the astounding variations of genitalia found in twin calves.
Meantime Im talking to Tony, whos working away while he tells me crazy stories from the housing boom when he made his living building six-thousand-square-foot houses for credit-worthy twenty-five-year-olds.
Tony walked the creek last week from their farm, through ours, all the way up to town. He was snagging for suckers, a bottom-feeding fish that shares the creek with the trout. Tony tries to explain how you snag them, but even when Garrison brings in an evil-looking contraption tied on the end of a fishing line I dont entirely understand the mechanics. But the basic principle is you see a sucker and you cast the contraption in front of him and when he swims over it wham you snag the side of his body with a hook and pull him in.
I glance at the door and see Wayne and the girls outside. When I go out to see whats up, Zara says she needs to go to the bathroom. You just go on up and knock on the door and tell Memaw you need to use the bathroom, Wayne says. Zara looks at me and P.O.M. Ill go with you, P.O.M. says.
Wynn, whos just a wisp of a thing, stands with me and Wayne while we shoot the breeze in the freezing wind. Just as I look down at Wynn and realize her lips are purple, Zara runs down from the house. Come on Wynn, youve gotta see this.
Wayne watches them run up to the house. Memaw must have showed em the village.
After a while we walk up to the house and go in to find Zara curled up by the wood stove. Wynns laying on the couch with her shoes off and her feet in Memaws lap. Memaw is Janet Hardy. Ive never met Janet before but everyone Ive talked to says shes kind and generous, a woman of her word and not to be trifled with.
Zara pops up when she sees me. Dad, youve gotta see this! she tugs me into the front room where Janets Christmas display is still up. There are, conservatively, sixty tiny buildings: shops, houses, train stations, barns, schools, churches, and post offices. All are lit up inside and, with the darkening afternoon, it is a magical scene. Dad! Zara shouts, we have to do this next Christmas!
Its completely perfect there in Wayne and Janets living room, with the wood stove radiating heat and the girls half asleep, cheeks still rosy from the cold. We chat away the rest of the afternoon. When its time to go none of us wants to go, but the girls insist they wont.
We finally herd them out of the house, thanking Wayne and Janet again and again. As we turn onto the highway I reflect that maybe its not so bad that the farms not a keep or a castle, that this web of relationships we find ourselves in may hold as many rewards or more as solitary days on the creek chasing trout.

PORT CHESTER — Real estate businessman Neil Pagano will challenge Mayor Dennis Pilla in the March election and at least nine people are making a run for village trustee.
The stakes are high in what could be the biggest election since Port Chester was incorporated in 1868: All seven of the villages elected offices are up for a vote.
The mayoral election, held every two years, coincides this year with a trustee election, now held every three years. Before 2010, trustees were elected annually to staggered terms. But for the second time, the village will fill all six trustee seats at once through cumulative voting the new system produced by the successful voting-rights lawsuit by the U.S. Department of Justice.
At the top of the ticket, Democrat Pilla will run for a fourth term against Pagano, chairman of the Port Chester Industrial Development Agency.
Pagano, 70, is not enrolled in a political party and is making his first run for office. He has support from the Conservative and Independence parties.
Government needs change at the top to keep it fresh, as does every other business, he said.
Pagano said his nonpartisan politics will help build consensus, while Pilla, 52, said his team has shown an ability to get things done.
We have to build on the success and the progress weve made, the mayor said.
Democrats and Republicans are competing for a majority on the village board, and using a new strategy. By backing just three trustee candidates apiece, the parties can channel their strengths by asking voters to cast two votes for each member of the slate.
Such plumping of votes is made possible by cumulative voting. Port Chester was the first municipality in New York to adopt that method three years ago. As always, voters get one vote to cast for each trustee seat. But they may assign their votes as they wish putting all six on one candidate or distributing them among several in any combination. There is one vote apiece for mayor.
The election is March 19, but under an agreement with the Justice Department, voters may cast their ballots early at Village Hall March 12-16.
The voting-rights case found that the old trustee election system at-large voting with staggered terms prevented Hispanics from electing their preferred candidates to the board.
At caucuses this week, Democrats nominated former Trustee Greg Adams and incumbents Daniel Brakewood and Luis Marino. In 2010, Magano became the first Hispanic ever elected to the village board. The GOP is nominating newcomer Frank Ferrara and incumbents Joseph Kenner and Sam Terenzi. A fourth nominee, Jing Xie, withdrew to improve the GOPs chances at success.
The field will expand further. Conservatives will include Rico Dos Anjos and incumbent Bart Didden on their slate. Gene Ceccarelli plans to run independently. Trustee John Branca, a Conservative and former mayor, will not seek a new term.
Information about the voting system and upcoming voter forums can be found at www.portchestervotes.org.

The purpose of Dallastown Area Educational Foundation's million-dollar campaign for a new turf field is to help avoid using taxpayer dollars.
A group of eight high school students, using some slick editing and camera skills, helped chip in $10,000 toward that lofty goal.
Dallastown Area High School's video club, led by adviser Joe Klinedinst, won Ford's national "Drive One 4UR School" contest this fall for having the best video showcasing their local fundraising efforts.
The $10,000 will go straight to the campaign. It's the second time the students won, after taking first last fall and fifth in the spring. For the video, according to Ford, students had to "capture the spirit" of a local fundraising event and incorporate Ford, which has been donating money to schools nationwide when people test drive a vehicle.
Students contributing directly to their school's cause is a perfect scenario, said school board and foundation member Lauren Rock.
"They own it. They are making it happen," Rock said.
Rock, who was featured in the video, was also thrilled about students getting practical experience.
"What makes learning the best is when you have real-life connections," Rock said.
Winning a nationwide contest is hard to fathom, said senior Frank Saylor, who served as a videographer.
"It looks good for our program," added senior Cameron Baer.
The video is two minutes long - $5,000 a minute! - but took a month to put together, primarily because of editing. It features voice-overs of students and campaign officials talking about the importance of replacing the Wildcats' aging natural field with a turf field, plus several shots of Ford vehicles on loan from Apple Ford.
"We tried to incorporate that as many times as possible," Cameron said of Ford mentions.
Other students who worked on the project included Michael Slankard, Sarah Elliehausen, Dominic Defelice, David Linthicum, Cullen Wenzler and Jacob Bradfield.
"It's a really good resume builder," Sarah said.

Ericsson tests "HD voice" tech on CDMA networks
updated 06:55 pm EDT, Thu March 17, 2011
Codec promises improved voice quality
Ericsson has announced that it has successfully demonstrated its "HD voice" technology on a CDMA network. The new technology, which was first previewed using an HSPA network, promises to bring significant improvements to voice quality and intelligibility, while expanding the spectral range to reach from 50Hz to 7kHz.
The system relies on the company's Enhanced Variable Rate Codec Narrowband-Wideband (EVRC-NW) code, which appears to work on principles similar to that of other "HD" voice technology utilized by companies such as Orange.
Ericsson's initial preview was limited to tests within a lab. The company is currently previewing the technology for potential customers, though it remains unclear if or when HD voice will be brought to CDMA networks.

Historic St. Francisville building up in smoke
Related Story
BATON ROUGE - The Blue Room Saloon and adjoining gift shop managed to save just a few historic murals from the 1920s, after a Thursday morning blaze gutted nearly the whole building.
St. Francisville Fire Chief Tom Robinson estimates the damage at more than 1,000,000 dollars. The owner of the business was beside herself as she told News 2 she just recently sunk $100,000 into restoring the building to grow her business.
Now, she will have to clear through a charred mess with insurance adjusters. What is left behind is a pile of soot-covered rubble, charred walls, a caved-in ceiling, and windows that lead to charred remains.
"I didn't even know what to think, really," saloon employee Kristine Fricke said. "I was just speechless."
Even with all the destruction, Robinson said he expected the fire to be worse.
"I thought we were gonna be lucky if we saved anything," Robinson said. "I thought it was gonna go to the ground."
The building was used as a cafe and dance hall in the 1920s, according to the owner. She said the building was dilapidated when she began restoring it in 2009.
She plans to re-open the business, but has no idea when or where that will happen.
Right now, she is scrambling to notify and work with wedding parties who had planned rehearsals and receptions inside the building this weekend.

NRG Energy's Bluewater Wind Puts The Brakes On Offshore Wind Farm
NAW Staff, Tuesday 13 December 2011 - 16:12:51
NRG Energy
has announced that it is halting active development of offshore wind projects for the near term. This includes the development of the Mid-Atlantic Wind Park, which had been planned off the coast of Delaware by NRG's subsidiary, Bluewater Wind.
According to the company, Bluewater Wind has been unable to find an investment partner and intends to terminate the project's 200 MW power purchase agreement (PPA) with Delmarva Power & Light Co. - which was
signed by the companies in June 2008
, representing the first offshore wind PPA in North America - by Dec. 23.
NRG acquired Bluewater Wind
in November 2009, the company has made significant financial investments in development to move the offshore wind project forward, including design and engineering studies, state and federal permitting and leasing fees, ecological assessments, and professional and consulting fees.
At the time of the acquisition, the outlook for offshore wind was positive. The project was in line for a Department of Energy (DOE) loan guarantee - a necessary element for this capital-intensive project - and NRG Bluewater had received preferential development rights for a project off the coast of New Jersey and had submitted proposals for projects off the coasts of Maryland and Massachusetts.
A little more than two years later, the outlook for offshore wind and for the Delaware project has changed dramatically, NRG explains. In particular, two aspects of the project that are critical to its success have actually gone backwards: the decisions of Congress to eliminate funding for the DOE's loan-guarantee program applicable to offshore wind, and the failure to extend the federal investment and production tax credits for offshore wind.
These factors, NRG says, have rendered the Delaware project both unfinanceable and financially untenable at the present time.
In addition, a central element of the offshore wind park's business plan - which the company says was previously communicated to public authorities in Delaware - was to find an investment partner. To date, the company has been unable to find a partner, despite having approached more than two dozen prospective investors over the course of several months.
"Our people have worked hard, and we've made a considerable financial investment in the wind park, but that effort cannot overcome the difficult and unfortunate realities of the current market," says David Crane, NRG's president and CEO. "We're not giving up, but at this moment, we can't rationally justify further investment in this project without the prospect that it can move forward within a reasonable time frame."
NRG will close its Bluewater Wind development office but preserve its options by maintaining its development rights and continuing to seek development partners and equity investors. If and when market conditions improve and the company is able to find partners, NRG says it will look to deploy the wind park and explore other viable offshore wind opportunities in the Northeast.
NRG Bluewater's founder and president, Peter Mandelstam, tells
that in the interim, he is using the remaining time to structure a deal. If no buyer is found, Mandelstam's position will be eliminated.
"I am an entrepreneur, and entrepreneurs always find a way," he says. "I've done harder things in my life, and my team is committed to this."
Though he would not divulge names, Mandelstam has spent the last two weeks in Europe talking up the project to potential investors.
"We are having very substantial conversations," he says. "Stuff is in the works."

sounds to me that the old farts at red cross needs new medicine.. Ive played a lot of military games and they haven't made me want to go berserk with military grade weapons just like GTA series have not made me a car thief.
Yep. I do not understand why. Those that do that and say games or movies made them do it. Only say that to get out of paying for what they did. Its bull. Am aggressive but thats not from games. That is just me.
Good. The fewer humans left on this rock, the better.
Al make sure your the first to go :P
Not every people especially gamers on earth have IQ more than 1000 & as smart + wise as U !
Its so much better to take precaution to prevent any insane people to try to imitate or copy act from games to real life incident!
Crime never stop & bad people always exist everywhere anywhere anytimes
Not every people on earth live with great family + living in comfort + have someone to talk out their problem & surely have brain that think right & clearly
Games are means to be just games, but when games dev starting to imitate many real life situation & condition in their games to be as real as itu could, surely it would better to prevent some insane people to do bad things because they getting influenced by games that made they think its so funny & easy to take other people life
[Edited by kaizer88, 10/6/2013 3:52:32 PM]
Technically I could be pulled up for massive premeditated war crimes and mass murders heck even genocide if the laws were allowed to do that.
But my statement still stand. Games are not real life. Games do not make people go out. Steal, murder or rape people or animals. It is the person that does it. They can not blame it on the games and should not be allowed to.
Besides, equating the commission of mass murder to the act of playing violent video games is like saying having blonde hair is definitively related to how much oxygen you inhaled during your elementary school years while wearing your favorite t-shirt. Yes, it's an exaggeration, but it gets my point across and shows how ridiculous equating playing video games to committing violent crimes is.
Governments (and other regulatory bodies) are getting too big and they are smothering their respective economies and the people they govern with regulations and red-tape (half of which people don't even want/need) in addition to trying to force their political agendas on other countries and organizations who are not really under their authority to begin with.

MP3: The Neighbourhood – "Say My Name/Cry Me A River" Cover Mashup
January 25, 2013 No comments yet
So we tweeted out before that The Neighbourhood stopped by the Live Lounge at BBC Radio1 to perform their single "Let It Go" and a surprise cover. Well, by now you have probably heard their cover-mashup-every90kidsdream-extravaganza version of Destiny Child's "Say My Name" and JT's "Cry Me A River." Ugh, it's just beautiful. Sounds like childhood, but better. If they wanted to cover another 90s song like Britney Spears or Jimmy Eat World or New Radicals' "You Get What You Give" or Blind Melon's "No Rain" or Blink's "Dammit"… ah I am getting ahead of myself but I wouldn't be mad about it. Anyway, check out the cover below. And big Mazel Tov to The Neighbourhood who are performing at this year's Coachella.
ps Be sure to read my interview with The Neighbourhood from when they were in New Yourk. So many important topics covered. Also, that hat on Jesse's head? You can totally put your hoodlum on display and get one too.

Near perfect conditions help Great Cumbrian Run competitors
Last updated at 11:26, Monday, 11 October 2010
Conditions were near perfect for the Cumberland Building Society Great Cumbrian Run yesterday.
- Video: Great Cumbrian Run 2010
The field of 1,800 runners – down slightly on 2009 – were spared rain or excessive heat as they pounded the 13.1-mile route.
The half marathon begins at Carlisle Castle and goes through Cumwhinton, Wetheral and Scotby to finish at the Sheepmount Athletics Stadium.
First home was Ian Crampton, 48, of Durham City Harriers, in 73 minutes 13 seconds.
The Great Cumbrian Run no longer awards prize money and so fails to attract the international athletes who used to come.
As such the course record of 63 minutes 34 seconds, set by Francis Bowen in 2004, is likely to stand for some time.
The first woman, Joasia Zakrzewski, 34, of Dumfries Running Club, was even more surprised to win – she hadn't intended to run at all.
She said: "I came to support my friend but she texted me this morning to say she was injured so I thought, I'm here so I might as well do it."
Ms Zakrzewski finished in 83 minutes 47 seconds, shaving nearly four minutes off her time last year when she was runner up.
Most runners were happy just to complete the course and, in many cases, to raise money for good causes in the process.
The British Red Cross and CFM Radio's Cash for Kids were the official race charities but many others benefited too.
In addition to the main race, there was also a 1.5 mile fun run through Bitts Park.
Plucky Olivia Story stole everyone's heart by completing the family event on prosthetic limbs.
Her mum Kimberly Brown said: "She did really well. It was a big achievement.
"She wasn't feeling very well, she had an ear infection and a bit of a temperature, so we walked all the way."
Olivia wasn't the only brave youngster to join the fun run.
Ethan Tweedie, who had surgery to remove a brain tumour in 2009 when he was just six, was well enough to participate.
Ethan, of Dalesman Drive, Carlisle, and Olivia were among the 500 or so entries in what is officially billed as CFM Radio's Cash for Kids Family Fun Run.
Fifteen-year-old Wigton athlete Abbie Hetherington, who has represented England, won the race outright and was fastest girl for the third year in a row.
The first three boys were Matthew Salkeld, Ben Welsh and Joe Ibbotson.

Have your say
I think £22.50 entry was quite steep, considering you got a banana, drink, biscuits and t-shirt - which incidentally is not dri-fit, so no good for running!
Great event and a brilliant way of seeing the city and outskirts, thanks to all who clapped me and all the runners past. (P.S i didnt chuck my water bottles on the verges!)

Mazda CX-9 nimble, roomy
Mazda, the car company that gave the world the nimble, two-seat Miata roadster, makes a commendable seven-seat crossover sport utility vehicle, too.
And like the Miata, the 2014 Mazda CX-9 is a nimble handler that drives as if it's smaller than it is.
The nearly 17-foot-long CX-9 is attractively styled with a raked windshield and well-proportioned shape and has strong V-6 power and comfortable interior room. The five-door CX-9 is rated by Consumer Reports magazine as above average in reliability as well.
Pricing is competitive with better known family SUVs.
Starting manufacturer's suggested retail price, including destination charge, for a 2014 CX-9 with 270-horsepower V-6, six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive is $30,815.
Among the standard features on every CX-9 are three-zone climate control, tilt and telescoping steering wheel with cruise control and audio buttons on the wheel, power windows, door locks and outside mirrors, three 12-volt power outlets and 5.8-inch color display touchscreen.
The test CX-9 — an all-wheel drive model in top, Grand Touring trim — was a stalwart people carrier. Both front and second-row seats moved forward and back on tracks easily, so tall and short passengers always found a way to apportion legroom to make everyone comfortable. Plus, the large and right-height lever on each side of the second-row seats that quickly unlocked them and moved them out of the way for quick entry to the third row was simpler to use than those in some other SUVs.
Even the two seats in the third row of the test CX-9 could accommodate adults if the second-row seats were moved up a ways on their tracks, though third-row seats sat close to the floor.
Driving the CX-9 is a sporty experience. The test CX-9 rode on 20-inch tires and hewed close to the pavement, even though it sat up a good ways.
Via the front MacPherson strut suspension and rear multilink configuration, the driver of the test vehicle felt a constant connection to the road, much as one would in a sporty sedan. This affected the ride by transmitting road bumps to passengers as mostly mild vibrations. But some passengers noticed the noises that the tires conveyed as they traveled over the bumps.

Comments, questions and tips
We had this tonight and we definitely had a lot of fun making it! I don't make desserts very often so am quite inexperienced, and I melted the chocolate first, then added the alcohol and the whole thing immediately turned into a lump! I guess it must have been the sudden temperature change. I started again putting in the chocolate and alcohol together and it worked much better that time. It was really really tasty, and, because we didn't have any brandy we used Disaronno, which I think is a bit like Amaretti and it was delicious. So we agreed to try and make it again with brandy next time to do the recipe justice, not that we need an excuse to make it again...!

Cowboys QB Tony Romo's performance against Bears historically bad
How dreadful was Tony Romo's performance Monday in the Cowboys' 34-18 loss to Chicago?
Let's just say it was historically bad. Romo threw five interceptions for only the second time in his career, having pulled off that dubious achievement against Buffalo in 2007. Oddly enough, that game also took place on a Monday night.
But of course Romo's turnover frenzy five years ago didn't seem so egregious because he was in his first full season as a starter and he managed to steer the Cowboys to a miraculous comeback victory over the Bills. He wasn't able to do the same against the Bears.
Instead, Romo struggled, posting a quarterback rating of 60.1 that would have been even lower if he hadn't completed 72 percent of his pass attempts. To put Romo's rating against Chicago in perspective, he had only produced a worse efficiency score eight times in his career. None of those horrid performances, it should be noted, occurred in the previous two seasons.
"The number one factor is taking care of the football," Romo said. "I know that. We preach it to the guys every day and it's obviously frustrating that I was the one who turned it over tonight."
He did so at a historic rate during a historically bad performance.

1963: The year the Israel Lobby Transcended US Law
Posted By Grant Smith On March 21, 2013 @ 9:54 am In News | Comments Disabled
Fifty years ago this May, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee opened a series of unprecedented hearings [1] investigating the clandestine activities of foreign agents active in the United States. The investigation focused most intensively on the operatives and financing of key Israel lobbying organizations such as the American Zionist Council, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, and the American Section of the quasi-governmental Jerusalem-based Jewish Agency. Thanks to a secret memo [2] only declassified in 2010, the public may now know what fears motivated the hearings.
The March 17, 1961 staff report expressed concerns that "indigenous groups based on racial or national origins have been organized in the United States, and have often concentrated on influencing United States foreign policy in directions designed primarily to promote the interests of other states." The Senate was particularly – though not exclusively – concerned about Israel-coordinated overseas provocations intended to tripwire the United States into action. "Operation Susannah [3]," an all-but-forgotten 1954 Israeli false flag terror attack on U.S. facilities in Egypt designed to keep international forces stationed in the Suez Canal zone is mentioned twice as a reason for investigating "how they do it." Although such a line of inquiry was clearly "explosive" the Senate proposal included having "testimony on the Lavon Affair, and similar 'gray area' activities."
The Senate and a parallel Justice Department investigation uncovered a massive money-laundering scheme by which the Jewish Agency – using its access to Israeli government funding and tax exempt donations from the United States – illegally funneled tens of millions into public relations and lobbying efforts [4] conducted by the top U.S. lobby – the American Zionist Council. Isaiah Kenen, the leader of the AZC's unincorporated lobbying division called the American Israel Public Affairs Committee – also received Jewish Agency funding, laundered [5] through his privately-owned lobbying newsletter.
The Justice Department ordered the AZC to begin registering under the 1938 Foreign Agents Registration Act [6]. The AZC fought the order [7] before finally shutting down, but it was a pyrrhic victory. The AIPAC lobbying division split off [8] six weeks after the order, incorporating in Washington and applying for IRS tax-exempt status in 1967.
The Jewish Agency's American Section, forced by the Justice Department to reveal its secret Israeli government funding and legislative powers [9] in the Knesset, also slipped the bonds of registration. In 1971 the New York branch told the Justice Department it wasn't an agent of the Jewish Agency in Israel after all, but rather yet another foreign sister organization, the World Zionist Organization. The Justice Department thought the paper reorganization, which didn't change staff, executives, or even office space "sketchy [10]." (PDF) But according to a recent Congressional Research Service report [11] (PDF) by 1973 the Jewish Agency began receiving $25 million a year in U.S. taxpayer funding for its settlement and other activities – totaling $460 million by 1991. CRS reveals that between 2000 and 2013 the Jewish Agency will have received another $534 million ($41 million per year) in funding from Congress – none of it easily auditable by U.S. taxpayers.
But – as might now be expected – the Jewish Agency has never stopped trying to influence Americans even as tax dollars flow and the Justice Department's FARA division sits idly by. Between 2002-2009 the Jewish Agency funded the perennial "peace processor" Dennis Ross [12] at an Israeli "think tank" called the Jewish People Policy Planning Institute. The U.S. taxpayer-funded Jewish Agency has more recently issued a formal demand [13] that President Barack Obama commute the sentence of Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard.
A half-century after the attempted regulation of Israel lobbies under FARA failed, it is productive to image what might be different today if AIPAC in particular had been properly registered under the Act. When AIPAC director Morris Amitay was caught red-handed mishandling classified missile secrets in 1975, he could have been prosecuted under FARA. When AIPAC and an Israeli diplomat purloined [14] the entire 300-page book of classified trade secrets compiled from 70 U.S. industry groups opposed to unilateral trade concessions for Israel in 1984, they could have been prosecuted for failing to report their clandestine subversion of due process. When in 2005 Steven J. Rosen and Keith Weissman met with Israeli diplomats [15] during efforts to pass classified information to the press they thought could trigger a U.S attack on Iran, FARA consequences would have awaited them all.
However, because the U.S. Department of Justice has unilaterally abrogated its responsibility to enforce FARA, people, ideas, money and propaganda campaigns continue to secretly slosh freely between Tel Aviv and Israeli fronts in America with taxpayer funds thrown into the toxic brew. It is hard to imagine the intense and growing drumbeat for yet another unnecessary war in the Middle East on false premises would be sounding at all if the Justice Department spent as much time upholding FARA as it did prosecuting justified whistle blowers, entrapping hapless would-be "Islamist terrorists" and formulating immoral legalese justifying ever more outrageous new executive powers.

Are Americans fat and lazy, or do the farms hiring undocumented farm workers bring down the pay and working conditions?
via Modern Farmer
… Read the rest
I've seen on the news that some Congress members or American citizens say undocumented workers are taking their jobs. We're not taking their jobs. In the 14 years I've been here, I've never seen an American working in the fields. I've never seen anyone work like Mexicans. In restaurants and construction, you'll find Salvadorans and Guatemalans, but in the fields, it's almost all Mexicans.
The work is hard — but many jobs are hard. The thing that bothers me more is the low pay. With cherries, you earn $7 for each box, and I'll fill 30 boxes in a day — about $210 a day. For blueberries, I'll do 25 containers for up to $5 each one — $125 a day.

|Cerebrovascular accidents in adult patients with congenital heart disease.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20639238 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) in a large population of adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). METHODS AND RESULTS: In a retrospective analysis of aggregated European and Canadian databases a total population of 23 153 patients with CHD was followed up to the age of 16-91 years (mean 36.4 years). Among them, 458 patients (2.0%) had one or more CVA, with an estimated event rate of 0.05% per patient-year. Permanent neurological sequelae were noted in 116 patients (25.3%). The prevalence of CVA in selected diagnostic categories was as follows: open atrial septal defect 93/2351 (4.0%); closed atrial or ventricular septal defect 57/4035 (1.4%); corrected tetralogy of Fallot 52/2196 (2.4%); Eisenmenger physiology 24/467 (5.1%); other cyanotic 50/215 (23.3%); mechanical prostheses (29/882 (3.3%). Associated conditions in patients with CVA were absence of sinus rhythm (25%), transvenous pacemakers (7%), endocarditis (2%), cardiac surgery (11%) and catheter intervention (2%), but with the exception of absent sinus rhythm these were not significantly more prevalent in patients with CVA. CONCLUSION: CVA are a major contributor to morbidity in this young population despite absence of classical cardiovascular risk factors. Although the prevalence of CVA in patients with CHD appears low, it is 10-100 times higher than expected in control populations of comparable age. Residua occur in a strong minority of patients. The subjects at highest risk are those patients with CHD with cyanotic lesions, in whom the prevalence is over 10-fold above the average.

Saying he could better ways to spend his money, UK quarterback Morgan Newton, flanked by his younger brothers, delivered shower sandals on Friday to needy men at Lexington's Hope Center.
"I spend my money on much other useless stuff. This is probably the least I can do," Newton said.
Newton bought 100 pairs of sandals to hand out.
Joined by his parents John and Ruby, and twin brothers Langston and Jordan, Newton spent time at the Privett Recovery Center, helping serve lunch before getting a tour of the facility.
"Any time you can go and communicate, and be around other people who aren't in the same situation as you, you can grow as a person," Newton said.
The men who frequent the Hope Center applauded Newton, before making their way over to the sophomore-to-be, most seeking an autograph.
"Probably where you get the most joy out of anything is seeing the reaction, seeing the faces of those guys out there," Newton said. "We learn so much from being around other people."
John Newton said the visit to the Hope Center was Morgan's idea. He said Morgan called the Center, asked what could be done for the men, and was told the facility needed shower shoes.
"I'm always happy to touch other people, but what they don't realize is they touch me just as much," Newton said.
Those are the highlights... Stay tuned.

Picturing Central Park: Sept 13, 2013 - Jan 5, 2014
Janet Ruttenberg's paintings celebrate Central Park and those who gather within its green borders.
Artist Janet Ruttenberg's love affair with Central Park has inspired her to use a variety of media—watercolor, oils, and video—to capture the natural and human beauty of this iconic New York landscape. Picturing Central Park will include 17 major works, many of them a monumental 15 feet in width, along with smaller pieces and photographs that reveal the artist's imaginative approach to her bold and sometimes fantastical work.

The holiday season is over and I don't know about you, but I'm already starting to feel cabin fever setting in. As the mother of a small child, these winter months stretch before us as a period where we are cooped up inside without the respite of the park or zoo to channel toddler energies. With this in mind, this week's episode of Weekday Crafternoon features a kid-friendly craft that also benefits our feathered friends. To prove it's kid-approved, I enlisted my own daughter, 3.5-year-old Lulu, to help. Check it out:
Making these DIY homemade bird feeders is a great way to spend an afternoon indoors, and with February being National Bird-Feeding Month, we're ahead of the game. We hung these feeders on the branches of a rhododendron bush outside our house and the birds went crazy for them. As fun to watch as they are to make!
Also worth noting? This is a peanut-free bird feeder craft, so it's safe for kids (and adults!) with nut allergies.
Want more ideas that are for the birds? Check out this DIY bird bath project from our archives. And as always, you can find all of our episodes of Weekday Crafternoon right here. See you next week!

One Tucson man has taken on the harrowing task of identifying the dozens of bodies that turn up in the Arizona desert each year.
In 2009, the ACLU issued a statement that the deaths on the U.S.-Mexico border were evidence of a "humanitarian crisis," and estimated that since 1994, 5,600 migrants had died while crossing. An estimated 350 to 500 deaths occur along the border a year, according to a Washington Post report.
This part of the U.S. border with Mexico is trafficked and contested by migrants entering the country and often by citizens who roam the desert for their own migrant-related purposes.
Armed volunteer militia groups such as The Minutemen Project patrol the border in order to keep undocumented immigrants out, while volunteer groups like the The Border Angels patrol the desert to provide food, water, and medical attention to border crossers who need it.
In 2011, a year which saw much lower illegal immigration rates than prior years, 117 unidentified bodies turned up in the Arizona desert, according to the Arizona Daily Star. But, thanks to the efforts of Engel Indo, five of those bodies now have names and identities attached to them - and some have even been transported home for family burial services.
"On the bilingual website, Indo puts information about the discovered bodies such as tattoo photos and head shots," The Daily Star reports.
Indo, a technology liaison for the Pima County Medical Examiner and the Mexican Consulate, uses a Facebook group called 'Identificame/Identify me Arizona,' to advertise the missing persons.
"Remains found in the desert," one Facebook post says. The text is accompanied by a picture of the man's clothing he was wearing, and his estimated age.
Indo plans now to venture into the desert with a group of 15 to 20 volunteers once or twice a month to find the bodies himself and alert authorities who will come pick them up, according to The Daily Star.
The National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights says by their estimates the actual rate of migrant deaths on the Arizona border have almost doubled in the last two years -- despite the Department of Homeland Security claims that the number of migrant deaths on the border is at an all-time low.
Kat Rodriguez of the Coalicion de Derechos Humanos, an Arizona NGO devoted to helping undocumented immigrants, wrote in a January statement:
"Currently, the number of remains recovered in Arizona from October through December of 2011 is 45, already exceeding of the number recovered last year during the same time frame. 82 percent are currently unidentified. 55 percent are of unknown gender, meaning that not enough of their bodies were recovered to establish gender."
Indo told The Daily Star that the job may be dangerous, but ultimately, he sees it as a worthwhile cause.
"I think giving these families closure is really positive. They are human beings that died, and, if nothing else, they deserve their goodbyes from their loved ones."

|Mark Macon's Binghamton group was the last team to win a game this season. (US PRESSWIRE)
Binghamton dodged history Tuesday night, giving Vermont a 57-53 loss, meaning the Bearcats won't go 0-30 this season. There have been wire-to-wire winless ball clubs in college basketball history before, but none have ever played 30 and lost 30.
That will still be the case. The Bearcats delivered what Ken Pomeroy dubbed the upset of the season when they held on at home against the top-ranked team in the America East, the 19-11 Catamounts (now 12-3 and in danger of losing the No. 1 seed in the league tournament to Stony Brook).
Binghamton had lost 27 in a row dating back to last season, when it played its last game in a loss to, yep, UVM. Overall, the Bearcats had dropped 39 of 41 games prior to Tuesday night's morale-boosting victory. Macon's working with a team that has no seniors on it (it's been ravaged a by the fallout of the academic and drug scandal), and because of that he's remained positive all the way.
No, really. After the game, I spoke to Macon on the phone and tried my best to squeeze out of him what the low point from this season was. He wouldn't budge. He was relentless in his positivity.
"There were no low points at all because it was about building and rebuilding and creating winning ways," he said. "The biggest thing is to know there's another game and another chance to win. You've got to keep your focus as a coach and a coaching staff."
This was a team that once averaged 20 turnovers per game. Now it's down to 13.1 giveaways per game, a 23 percent rate, which is still in the bottom fifth in all of hoops, but "that's growth," Macon said.
Vermont defeated Binghamton by 20, 73-53, on Jan. 12 in Burlington. The Catamounts were successful inside all night long on that Thursday. Tuesday night that was not the case. Macon said his primary scouting report objective was to fight the post and own it inside before the UVM bigs ever got the ball. They did, and since some shots finally fell for this team -- which, shooting 45 percent from the field qualifies as "finally" -- the Bearcats scraped to get the bagel out of the W column.
Macon had adjusted his starting lineups all season long, too. At one point he went totally young, starting three freshmen, a sophomore and a junior. He's leaned toward an older group as of late, though. Javon Ralling, Taylor Johnston, Jimmy Gray (juniors); Robert Mansell (sophomore); and Ben Dickinson (freshman) started in the Vermont game for Binghamton.
The win allowed Macon, for the first time this season, to say how the preface to tonight's game was the same as it was all year long for he and his coaches.
"I don't go into games thinking we're not going to win," Macon said. "And for me to even think that way would not be who I am. My life is built on positivity. There's really nothing to be negative about. I can only control what I can control. I don't even have to discuss being 0-30 because it's not going to happen."
No, it is not. Once again, college basketball is filled with 345 teams that share two things in common: none are without flaw and all know what it's like to go to sleep as a winner.
