Love and longing in the rugged landscape of the West.
I eased my car down Ron's dusty driveway and cursed the ache rising from the seat up my back, a consequence of the 900-mile drive from Bend, Oregon, to northern Wyoming. The road cut through two horse-filled pastures surrounded by barbed wire. Tall cottonwoods fanned out on the horizon. I was in the heart of Wyoming's broad Greybull River valley, and the mountains were mere backdrops.
My mind flashed to Mel, my dark, fiery young thoroughbred in Oregon. If not for Mel, I wouldn't have been piloting my car toward Ron's house. In the year since I'd met "my" Wyoming cowboy—on a trip that had us riding horses deep into the Yellowstone National Park backcountry, me as a journalist, and him as one of several cowboys—Ron and I cultivated a friendship over email. His gentle approach with horses both captivated and confounded me. Somehow he didn't grow tired of my struggle to subdue Mel. I appreciated his generous advice, though it never seemed to work.
I saw the barn first, then the dogs, a tangled mess of barking herding breeds equally excited and frantic at my arrival. I saw Ron before he saw me. He had milky white skin and red cheeks. His tight Wrangler jeans were tucked into cowboy boots that laced up almost to his knee. His green button-down shirt looked black in the light, and a bushy mustache topped his ruby lips. He wore a white 10-gallon hat.
I peeled my fingers from the steering wheel, rolled my shoulders, and fumbled with the door handle. When my sandaled foot finally hit the ground, his booted one was already there.
"Howdy," he said with a grin.
We hugged, and it was the first time we'd ever touched. I was aware of pressing my chest against his then pulling it back. I inhaled the scent of hay, sunshine, and man.
"Good trip?"
I nodded.
I shrugged. I couldn't peel my brown eyes from his blue ones, and my mind leapt ahead to our future children. Would they have my rosy complexion or his pale Scandinavian one?
I found my voice. "It's so good to be here."
"Well yeah," he drawled, that kind smile lingering. "Long drive."
We headed toward his home and a wispy blond girl rushed through the door. Behind her I saw a miniature version—her sister, I guessed—giggling from the shadows. That's when he introduced me to his daughters.
I'd known Ron was a single father. He told me about being a dad when I first met him. His story was unusual only in that he had full custody. Otherwise it followed a typical script: Cowboy marries pregnant high school sweetheart. Two babies later, someone leaves. She left. He stayed. His girls were his life.
When he talked about his daughters, I marveled at his commitment. The men I knew scored dime bags of weed, fretted about Ultimate Frisbee games, and were more committed to mountain biking than family. My admiration was part projection. I'd never had a dad—neither my biological one nor my stepfather—say I was a priority. That this solid cowboy did so with ease stunned me.
"You think you're committed to your horse?" he said. "It's nothing compared to your kids."
Coming from him that was huge. Ron raised his gelding from a colt and trained him to be unflappable. His horse picked his way along rocky trails and trundled through the wind and rain. When we were in Yellowstone, I envied their partnership for an entire day before complaining about my problems with Mel. Then I stared at Ron expectantly, hoping he'd offer me a quick fix. He simply said, "Horses like to test a person, don't they?"

|Interest of genotyping and phenotyping of drug-metabolizing enzymes for the interpretation of biological monitoring of exposure to styrene.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 12464798 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|In the field of occupational and/or environmental toxicology, the measurement of specific metabolites in urine may serve to assess exposure to the parent compounds (biological monitoring of exposure). Styrene is one of the chemicals for which biological monitoring programs have been validated and implemented in environmental and occupational medicine. However, inter-individual differences in the urinary excretion exist both for the main end-products (mandelic acid and phenylglyoxylic acid) and for its specific mercapturic acids (phenylhydroxyethylmercapturic acids, PHEMA). This limits to a certain extent the use of these metabolites for an accurate assessment of styrene exposure. In a group of 26 volunteers selected with relevant genotypes, and exposed to styrene vapours (50 mg/m3, 8 h) in an inhalation chamber, we evaluated whether genotyping or phenotyping relevant drug-metabolizing enzymes (CYP2E1, EPHX1, GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1) may help to explain the observed inter-individual variability in the urinary metabolite excretion. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were used for genotyping and as reporter cells for the phenotyping of CYP2E1 and EPHX1. The GSTM1 genotype was clearly the most significant parameter explaining the variance in urinary PHEMA excretion (6-fold lower in GSTM1 null subjects; P < 0.0001) so that systematic GSTM1 genotyping should be recommended routinely for a correct interpretation of PHEMA urinary levels. Variant alleles CYP2E1*6 (7632T>A) and His113EPHX1 were associated with a significant reduction of, respectively, the expression (P = 0.047) and activity (P = 0.022) of the enzyme in peripheral blood lymphocytes. In combination with GSTM1 genotyping, the phenotyping approach also contributed to improve the interpretation of urinary results, as illustrated by the combined effect of CYP2E1 expression and GSTM1 allelic status that explained 77% of the variance in PHEMA excretion and allows the recommendation of mercapturates as specific and reliable biomarkers of exposure to styrene.

Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing entry in the Volvo Ocean Race 2011-12, training in the Solent prior to the start of the Rolex Fastnet Race.
With no one team looking likely to deliver any significant raw speed advantage straight out of the blocks, the 2011–12 edition of the Volvo Ocean Race looks set to produce some of the closest racing ever.
The race gets underway from Alicante, Spain on 5 November on the first leg to Cape Town, South Africa.
'I think the sails are probably going to hold the key even more so this time' Ian Walker
Stuart Bannatyne, watch captain on CAMPER with Emirates Team New Zealand, believes that the latest round of designs may have equalised the fleet's overall performance.
'The Volvo Open 70s have developed to a point now where they are going to be very similar boats to the last race,' he said. 'It's just been a sort of gentle evolution of designs.'
According to Bannatyne's skipper, Chris Nicholson this levelling of the playing field may force teams to adopt more aggressive strategies.
Chris Nicholson, Skipper of CAMPER enduring a very wet ride, during offshore testing.
'I think things will be a little different on the tactical side this time around,' Nicholson said. 'In the past, some teams were so much faster than others that tactically, they could play it quite conservatively. Actually I think this race will be about knowing your strengths and backing them, and that could be quite a change for the Volvo Ocean Race.
'As a result I think this will be a cool edition of the race, with lots of action and plenty of interesting stories coming out of it. '
For Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing skipper Ian Walker, in the headlong rush for competitive advantage, the new Volvo Ocean Race sail restriction rule has added even more importance to the teams' sail development programmes.
Skipper Chris Nicholson onboard CAMPER with Emirates Team New Zealand, sailing on the Hauraki Gulf. 20/4/2011
'I think the sails are probably going to hold the key even more so this time,' Walker said. 'We are down to 17 sails and it's not just about the shape and construction, but also the longevity of the individual sails. That's why everyone has been putting so much time into sail testing.'
Beyond sail development however, Walker's team have also introduced other subtle refinements to their new boat.
'We have tried to look at every aspect and make as many small performance gains as we can. Aerodynamically our deck layout is very clean because we have run all of the ropes beneath the deck in carbon piping. For the same reason, there is also no coach roof to disturb the airflow. Our decks forward of the cockpit slope away quite markedly and this is to try to get the weight of breaking waves off the boat as quickly as possible.'
Groupama Sailing Team skippered by Franck Cammas from France, at the finish of the Rolex Fastnet Race.
Ken Read, who finished second in the Volvo Ocean Race 2008-09 and will skipper PUMA Ocean Racing again this time, says it is hard to believe that the racing could get any closer.
'I can't describe how close that last race actually was,' he said. 'In a round the world race it always seemed like we had another boat in sight. I really don't know how it can get any closer, but I certainly don't imagine it will get any further apart.'

Tell It To Jesus
Are you weary, are you heavy hearted?
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus.
Are you grieving over joys departed?
Tell it to Jesus alone.
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus,
He is a Friend that's well known.
You've no other such a friend or brother,
Tell it to Jesus alone.
Do the tears flow down your cheeks unbidden?
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus.
Have you sins that to men's eyes are hidden?
Tell it to Jesus alone.
Do you fear the gathering clouds of sorrow?
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus.
Are you anxious what shall be tomorrow?
Tell it to Jesus alone.
Are you troubled at the thought of dying?
Tell it to Jesus, tell it to Jesus.
For Christ's coming kingdom are you sighing?
Tell it to Jesus alone.
- "Tears flow down your cheeks unbidden" – I will admit to you that I wasn't sure what the word "unbidden" meant in this verse. I went to my trusted online resource – dictionary.com, and here are a couple of definitions. "Not asked" or "Uninvited." Have you shed any "tears" lately that you did not ask for? Have tears become an "uninvited" regular guest in your life? Sorrow and mourning are realities of this fallen world. The Bible tells us there is a time for weeping and a time to mourn (Ecc 3:4). The Bible instructs us to mourn with those who mourn (Romans 12:15). Sorrow will rarely be an "asked for" or an "invited" guest in our lives. But praise God, He can work in and through the tears and the mourning. He can show up like He did in Mary Magdalene's life and call us by name. And He will one day wipe all tears from our eyes (Rev 21:4). We can't wipe them all away ourselves, but God has promised us that He will one day do it for us once and for all.
- "For Christ's coming kingdom are you sighing?" – Are you tired of the problems of this world? Does watching the news or reading the paper depress you? Are you sighing and praying "Lord Jesus, come quickly!!" As we see the problems and sin of this world, they should encourage us all the more to look for His coming kingdom. These earthly realities should be a constant reminder that this world is not our home. We are pilgrims…just a passing through. Our treasure and our hope are laid up "beyond the blue." We have a hope for a better place, and a better tomorrow.
In Matthew 28, the angel's instruction was to go and tell. "Go quickly and tell his disciples that He is risen from the dead." In Matthew 28, Jesus also says go and tell. "Go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me."
Can I encourage you today to do the same? To go and tell Jesus. If you need encouragement today, go and tell Jesus. If you need healing today, go and tell Jesus. If you need sins forgiven, go and tell Jesus. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." You've no other such a friend or brother. Tell it to Jesus alone!

To Dover taxpayers, I have been reading in 30 Seconds that people do not understand why the Dover school board keeps having meetings and asking for input concerning the high school. I would like to challenge you to take a tour of the current site with Principal Karie McCrate and really listen to what she has to say. In my opinion, the whole school needs to be replaced. The Fifth Street wing is appalling for this day and age and the rest of the building is not adequate to prepare students of today for the future. Yes, it was good enough for students of the '40s, '50s, '60s, and even some of the '70s. Now, it is outdated and becoming unsafe. (Opening the windows to get fresh air is a joke) Yes, the outside is lovely and the auditorium is beautiful.
Dover pride is wonderful and evident in the support of the outstanding football season the Tornadoes had, but Dover pride needs to extend to sacrificing to build a new school for the students of Dover. Our teachers, administrators, and custodial staff are doing an unbelievable job, considering their circumstances. The children and teachers are breathing unclean air. It smells musty and will surely be condemned in the near future. The building is "sick." Is this what the taxpayers of Dover are satisfied with? Where is Dover pride in the education of children? I am ashamed that our students must be in this environment. This is why the school board keeps asking the public for input. They have been elected to serve the students of Dover. They want the best for them. Do not think they want more than the students deserve, they are not asking for a Taj Mahal. They keep asking because the need is not going away. Find out for yourself all of the options that have been considered before you criticize. Dover taxpayers: Step up to the plate and see for yourselves. Parents: You should be very concerned. What is more important than your children?

This review is not possible to finish, because I get that this question can not be closed as a dupe of this question, because it has no accepted or upvoted answer (although it has two answers - each with 6 upvotes).
Sorry about this - the test was inadvertently negated, so it only let you close questions as duplicates of questions with no answers.
PSA: don't write production code when you're sick. It might catch something from you!
The bug still exists as of a few minutes ago. Here's what it looks like:
I accessed this one from the review queue.
The question is How do you install pip on windows 7 64 bit?, which is proposed as a duplicate of How to install pip on windows?, which has 10 answers, with the accepted one with 175 upvotes.
Possibly related is that the answer is community wiki. But the other instances linked have the same issue but are not CW.
The same thing happens when you access the close dialog from the question itself (clicking on Close):

U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo.
-- A young woman at the Preparatory School here has persevered through the power of positive thinking and looks to do more of the same as a future Air Force officer.
Cadet Candidate Tiheisha Bolles entered the Prep School through the Leaders Encouraging Airmen Development program after joining the Air Force in September 2009.
Bolles, a "military brat," is used to adapting and overcoming. Her father, Melvin Parker, recently retired from the Navy as a petty officer first class.
"He wanted me to go in the Air Force," Bolles said. "He told me, 'The Navy's been good to us, and I'm grateful for the Navy, but the Air Force would be best for you.'" Military benefits she had grown up with, like commissaries and base exchanges, were also a factor, she added.
As part of a military family, Bolles spent much of her life in Hawaii, graduating from high school there before she attended community college at Olympic College in Bremerton, Wash.
Her military career took her to San Antonio for Basic Military Training, then to Keesler Air Force Base, Miss., for air traffic controller training, and Tinker Air Force Base, Okla., for her first duty assignment. While at Tinker AFB, she created a diversity alliance club and co-founded ELITE, which stands for Empowerment, Loyalty, Inspiration, Teamwork and Equality.
"We are doing this because people today don't have many role models to look up to, and we want to be those role models," said the group's principal founder and president, Senior Airman Kristopher Gooden, in a January 2011 article on Tinker's website. The group's mission is for its members to serve as mentors and role models for youth and students "while working together with strong heart, motivation and determination to give back to the community by helping others."
Tinker was where Bolles first heard about the Air Force Academy and the Prep School. Her chief controller handed her a pamphlet about the program, and soon thereafter, she attended a local LEAD briefing.
"It sounded really interesting, like something I wanted to shoot for," she said. And so she did. With her commander's endorsement, she applied and gained entry into the Prep School's cadre of about 250.
It took Bolles some time to get used to the Prep School environment, which is much more like BMT and technical school than an active-duty assignment.
"It's harder to adjust to going to school and studying," she said. "There's not as much freedom. But once you get past that ... it's all about attitude. The wrong attitude makes things that much harder than they really are."
A positive attitude, on the other hand, makes it easier to overcome momentary hardships, Bolles said.
"It's along the lines of resiliency," she said. "You may not get the grades you want. Your room may not be where you need it to be. But you need to be able to persevere. Everyone's going to have bumps in the road; it's just how you overcome those. Keep your main goal at the forefront of your mind so you have something to keep you going when times do get rough."
Bolles' can-do spirit has carried over into her leadership at the Prep School, said 2nd Lt. Thomas Buenger, the Squadron 3 commander and a 2007 Prep School graduate.
"We were absolutely impressed with Bolles from the start," Buenger said. "She's a natural leader within our squadron and a person everyone in the squadron trusts to go to for any situation. She's a mature, caring and inspirational leader in every aspect thus far, and we're incredibly excited to see how she performs at the Academy next year."
Bolles said she wants to pursue a degree in law. She attended the Academy's Majors Night on Tuesday.
"Things always change, but I can see that happening for myself," she said. "Legal studies is something I've always had a passion for. If I feel there's an injustice or people are being treated unfairly, I want to do something about it."

Talk about a power couple!
We all knew Victoria Beckham and hubby David Beckham were raking in the big bucks with their respective fashion and sports careers, but now we can rest assured that their empire is only getting bigger and better.
Daily Mail reports that between David's string of prestigious brand endorsements (including his underwear campaign for H&M) and sponsorship deals, coupled with Victoria's profits as a fashion guru, the Beckham brand's earnings are pretty darn astronomical!
So who's raking in more?
According to the article, while David is widely regarded as the main breadwinner (even more so now that he has retired from the game), Victoria is hot on his heels and giving him a run for his money thanks to her immense popularity and success in the fashion world, raking in a profit of about $160,000 per day.
Way to go, Posh!
Her fashion line shows in London, Paris and New York, and has a long list of celebrity fans including Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez, Blake Lively, Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts and Beyoncé, just to name a few.
The family also recently sold their immaculate Hertfordshire mansion, thereby increasing their bank accounts even more, and at this rate there's no stopping them!
Despite all of this major moola, it's safe to say the couple knows and appreciates what's really important in life: their kids, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and little Harper.
"What I have enjoyed is being there for the kids more," David said of his free time. "I take the kids to school every single morning instead of every other morning."

No quit in Steelers veteran linebacker Farrior
Steelers/NFL Videos
James Farrior has missed more games this season than in any season since coming to the Steelers in 2002, is on pace for his second fewest tackles during that stint and, at times, has been replaced in the lineup.
Still, the 15-year veteran who is a week away from turning 37 doesn't plan on retiring.
"Dick LeBeau told me a while ago, he said when you retire, you retire for a long time," said Farrior, who is in the last year of his contract. Farrior took that one way: "Play as long as you can."
Farrior has 86 tackles and two sacks while starting 13 of 15 games. He has been replaced for series at a time by backup Larry Foote.
Farrior, who won the Chief Award on Thursday for being most cooperative with the media, said he wants to play "as long as they let me."
> > Right tackle Marcus Gilbert won the Joe Greene Great Performance Award given out by the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Pro Football Writers of America. Gilbert had lunch with Greene while visiting the facilities before the draft.
"It was just an honor to sit down with a legend and arguably the best football player ever in this organization," Gilbert said.
Gilbert has started 12 games.
> > Receiver Emmanuel Sanders said he will play Sunday against the Browns after missing the past three games with a sore right foot.
"I haven't felt this good in five or six weeks," Sanders said.
Sanders first injured his foot in last year's Super Bowl and required offseason surgery. Sanders has missed five of the past seven games and has 21 catches on the year.
> > Safety Troy Polamalu (knee), guard Doug Legursky (shoulder) and running back Mewelde Moore (knee) did not practice for the second consecutive day. Linebacker LaMarr Woodley (hamstring) was limited but is not expected to play.
> > Offensive coordinator Bruce Arians hinted at Trai Essex starting at left guard again, but he expects Chris Kemoeatu to play, as well. Arians said that was the plan last week until Doug Legursky got hurt early in the game, forcing Essex to center.

A demonstrator confronts a police officer, as Moroccans are gathered outside the parliament in Rabat, Morocco, Friday. / Mustapha Houbais, AP
RABAT, Morocco (AP) - Morocco's king rescinded his pardon of a Spanish pedophile on Sunday after an unusual bout of protests in the case. It was the first time in recent memory that a Moroccan sovereign had reversed a pardon.
But the Spaniard convicted of raping 11 children, named by Morocco as Daniel Galvan Fina, is believed to be in Spain now, and it was unclear whether he will be brought back to Morocco.
In a statement late in the day, King Mohammed VI said he had asked his justice minister to work with his Spanish counterpart to see how the pardon could be undone in what he described as "an exceptional reversal." He also said he has ordered an investigation into the pardons process.
The decision was made "considering the flaws that marred the process, the gravity of the crimes committed and with respect to the rights of the victims," the statement said.
On July 30, at the request of Spain's King Juan Carlos, the Moroccan monarch pardoned 48 Spaniards who had been imprisoned here, including Fina. Earlier Sunday, the Moroccan king said he would not have pardoned the Spaniard if he had been aware of his crimes.
Hundreds of peaceful demonstrators gathered late Friday to rally against the pardon - a rare protest against the king. The demonstration was broken up by police with clubs, leaving at least 63 people injured.

Hero-Type (original 2008; edition 2008)
by Barry Lyga
Work details
Hero-Type by Barry Lyga (2008)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
On the surface, this novel seems quite light in its presentation of Kevin Ross, an extremely awkward and funny protagonist. Yet Lyga engages with some very serious issues, including the nature of heroism, our culture's expressions of patriotism, and the disconnect we all feel during a time of war. This novel had a deep impact on me when I least expected it.
Kevin is a hero. He saved a popular girl, Leah, from getting raped and murdered, and if that wasn't good enough, the person he saved her from is a serial killer. So, Kevin went from a fool that tried to not really get noticed to the center of attention. In school, everyone wants to be his friend and sit next to him. He is even given a pretty good deal on a car from the mayor of the town, who also owns the car dealership. Only, Kevin doesn't feel like a hero. Actually, he is keeping a secret that makes him feel worse every time his heroism is brought up. To make matters worse, a local reporter catches him throwing away two magnetic patriotic ribbons off of the back of his car when Kevin's father tells him to. This reporter turns Kevin into a villain. Kevin is all of a sudden everyone's enemy because they believe that he is not patriotic. Instead of coming clean and just saying that his dad made him do it, Kevin takes hold of this new image and brings about a debate about free speech. Not only does Kevin have to deal with this new villain treatment, but he also has to deal with the secret that he is keeping, and his mom wants him to move to California away from his dad.
I usually like Barry Lyga, but I just did not get into this book. There were too many issues that were happening at one time and I don't believe that any of them were written well enough for me to grip onto and struggle through with the main character. Lyga may have shared what was going on, but it was not done in a way that I cared about. I think part of the problem is that I just never really cared about Kevin. I could relate to him from time to time, but he wasn't a character that I liked. The challenges that Kevin goes through in order to find his identity and what is important to him are not gripping. The secret that he struggles with is easy to figure out within a few pages of the story and it probably turns me off to the character as a whole. All in all, I really think that Lyga was trying to do too much with this novel and because of that he barely scratches the surface of each topic making this book shallow and not worth the extended amount of time it took me to read it.
I gave it a 2/5 stars. I finished it and it was written by a great author, but I don't recommend it and I would not read it again.
"After reading Fanboy and Goth Girl I got curious about Lyga's other books, especially as they're all set at the same high school. Cross-title continuity: a sure sign of a comic geek. There are some references to characters/situations from his other books but it's not necessary to have read them to enjoy this one. In fact, some of the references feel rather forced, as if he's name-dropping for the sake of name-dropping and not because these are things that kids would actually say.
The story itself is fine, though if you don't agree with the politics of the author (by way of the main character) you may not enjoy it. He does a good job of explaining his position well-enough, but Kevin had this tendency to speechify everything, even when he's not giving a speech, and I could see that turning people off.
Something I really appreciated about this book was how the parents seemed more complete; in contrast with my complaints about how we never understand the parents in Fanboy and Goth Girl, the problems of the parents in Hero-Type are the root of the problem and have to be dealt with for the book to have any sort of closure. It's got a nice ending, one that's pretty open but with some hope in it."
Reviewed by Sally Kruger aka "Readingjunky" for TeensReadToo.com
Kevin Ross, known as Kross to his friends, has been called a hero in his hometown and beyond. But can the seemingly innocent decision to remove a couple of magnetic ribbons from the back of his ugly, brown used car catapult his hero status to that of hated enemy? You bet it can!
Kevin happened to be at the right place at the wrong time for a serial killer called The Surgeon. For potential teen victim and classmate Leah, it was a case of the right place at the right time. Since saving Leah from certain death, Kevin can't look anywhere in town without seeing his name and hers linked on "thank you" signs and congratulations of all kinds. People can't seem to be able to do enough for Kevin, and they watch anxiously as he appears on TV and waits to collect a reward for his heroism.
All this praise and excitement is confusing for Kevin. He has long had a crush on Leah and relishes the attention she is now giving him; however, there are several secrets in Kevin's life that cast a shadow on all this positive attention. One secret is his father's mysterious military history in the Gulf War. Even when Kevin's mother still lived with them, the subject of his father's military service was off limits. The other secret is Kevin's own guilt for some event that actually placed him with Leah in the alley at the time of the killer's attack.
On the day Kevin pulled into the driveway with his new, used car, his father angrily demanded that the "support our troops" ribbons be removed immediately. When Kevin innocently explains that the local car dealer had slapped them on as he drove out of the used car lot, his father still insists they need to go. Unfortunately for Kevin, a news reporter still following the local hero witnesses the removal of the ribbons. This news is interpreted as "un-patriotic" behavior, and it unleashes the fury of a town proud of its patriot values.
As Kevin battles the public, who days before spoke of his heroic deed, he learns more about his parents' divorce, his mother's decision to move to California, and his father's struggles in the Gulf War. Readers can watch as Kevin learns the true meaning of patriotism and the freedoms we all take for granted. His story is especially intriguing in this time of political turmoil and tension.
Author Barry Lyga clearly demonstrates the division that can be created by different interpretations of what it means to support one's patriot beliefs.
Kevin Cross is a hero because he saves a girl from almost certain death at the hands of a serial killer, but he doesn't feel like one because he was up to nefarious intent at the time. In the wake of the attention he gets for saving the girl, Leah, he gets negative attention for a number of other actions. And it may in the end be these other less popular actions that really earn him the title of hero.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0547076630, Hardcover)
Everyone is treating Kevin as a hero. He was in the right place and the right time and he saved a girl from being murdered. Only Kevin knows though, why he was able to save her. Things get even more complicated when Kevin is seen removing two patriotic Support the Troops" ribbons from his car bumper. Now the town that lauded him as a hero turns on him, calling him unpatriotic. Kevin, who hadn't thought much about it up to then, becomes politcially engaged, suddenly questioning what exactly supporting the troops or even saying the pledge of allegiance every day means.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:12:09 -0400)
Feeling awkward and ugly is only one reason sixteen-year-old Kevin is uncomfortable with the publicity surrounding his act of accidental heroism, but when a reporter photographs him apparently being unpatriotic, he steps into the limelight to encourage people to think about what the symbols of freedom really mean.… (more)

continued "Wearing the white ribbon is so important, it's a commitment," Benton said. "When someone purchases a ribbon we ask that they wear it as a promise to not stand silent in the face of abuse. Someone who wears that ribbon commits to not support, condone, or remain silent against abuse."
This year, the White Ribbon Campaign honorary chairs are Michael Benny and Matt Mulcahy from CNY Central and Dan Cummings from News Channel 9. All three were on hand at the press conference to speak out against domestic violence and pledge their support for the campaign.
"There's so much heaviness as we roll out this campaign, but there is also so much light," Benny said. "You saw it in some of the MPH students here today. That is representative of the light that comes from this campaign – the young people who are learning how to do this right."
Last year's campaign raised over $70,000 for Vera House's education and awareness programs, just like the one at MPH. The ten day campaign starts on April 12 but pins, ribbons and wristbands to support the White Ribbon Campaign can be purchased now at verahouse.org.

Having a serious concussion could be a risk factor for developing Alzheimer's decades later - though not everyone with head trauma will lose their memory, a new study suggests.
A team from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., conducted brain scans on 448 older Minnesotans who had no signs of memory problems and 141 who did.

Kids Pants | Kids Snow Pants | Kids Ski Pants | Toddler Pants
About Kids' Pants for Winter, Snow, Hiking and more:
|Kids pants are just like adult pants except smaller and more important. Why are kids pants more important than adult pants you ask? Because children are the future.
Snow pants have the pockets and insulation that make them awesome for snowboarding, skiing, and any other winter activity that the kids these days are into. When I was a kid we would play a game where we threw icicles high into the air and ran away before they landed on us. I wasn't very bright, but having a pair of pants that allowed for freedom of movement while protecting from the cold was essential for success in icicle dodging.
Hiking pants are also great for kids, they have more durability than your average pair of trousers so your child will not only be well-suited for outdoor adventure, they will be able to have more fun on the playground then you ever thought possible.
Having cool pants at recess means that the other kids will look up to you, relying on you to make the important decisions like "What are we going to play?" or acting as referee during a game of tag. Which raises an important question, do made for television movies count during tv tag? what about Netflix original series? People need to know this stuff.

Update: Shots fired in Delridge, no one hurt, 3 arrestedJuly 18, 2012 at 12:31 pm | In Crime, Delridge, West Seattle news | 25 Comments
(Photo by Sage K)
12:31 PM: Still working to find out what's going on but Delridge is blocked off at and around the Boren Building – avoid the area. More to come.
12:38 PM: The road has reopened. Lt. Pierre Davis tells us at the scene that it involved shots fired – no one hurt – two people in custody – shell casings found. It actually happened in the 5600 block of Delridge (we originally mentioned the Boren school building, but it turns out police were just staging there).
1:33 PM: Adding a photo from Sage K, taken during the half-hour road closure – the photo was taken looking northeast over the Delridge/Juneau intersection. Police also say that some kind of argument/fight preceded the firing of shots. When they first arrived, Lt. Davis tells WSB, they talked to witnesses who had seen that, and that's what led them to the two suspects, who were in an apartment in the 5600 block.
2:43 PM UPDATE: Some new information has just been published via SPD Blotter. Police say the Gang Unit is investigating this, and that they arrested three people in all.

The shots sounded a lot like firecrackers Norman. Considering all the random firecrackers that have been going off randomly, it's not surprising people didn't really notice the sound of gunshots.

Glad 2 people are in custody. I hope having the Boren school open will bring new positive activity to this area. I know crime happens everywhere, but my 'mom radar' can't help but go into alert mode whenever I read about trouble near this school site.
Comment by Interim Worries — 1:33 pm July 18, 2012 #
What is it with this block? This is the only place on Delridge that seems to have gun play. I was looking through some news archives on Google and this is one of many shootings in the past in this one particular block.
Comment by A. — 2:45 pm July 18, 2012 #
Gang activity. So sick of this. Do some of them live on Delridge itself on that block, or could that be where drug deals are made?
Comment by evergreen — 3:04 pm July 18, 2012 #
Actually I should amend that to the gang unit along with regular officers just took 2 male and 1 female youth / young adult into custody at bus stop on the corner of Delridge / Juneau. Guns were drawn briefly while making the arrest. Several of the officers from the earlier incident are also present. This might (probably) is related to the earlier incident.
Comment by SageK — 3:11 pm July 18, 2012 #
I live on Delridge in the 5900 block and it seems that there is an apt. building in the 5600 block that has a lot of shady things going on in it. I've heard from neighbors that a lot of people are in and out of there and that there are drug dealing problems there. But that is second hand information.
Comment by SageK — 3:21 pm July 18, 2012 #
There was a drug house between Alaska and Edmunds off of Delridge for many years. Shady activity has moved form the abandoned house to an apartment building on Delridge. The police and detectives knew about the house and license plates were tracked as well as activity recorded but there seemed to be nothing that could be done during the several years the house operated as such. The alley seemed to be where most activity occurred.

The city should close the Super 24 Crack Mart. Everyone in the neighborhood knows this is the epicenter of the neighborhoods problems.
Comment by Camp Fellow — 5:28 pm July 18, 2012 #
Camp Fellow, I have been in that store when some pretty scary crap went down, more than once. Same with the shell station. Both of those should be bought tore down. Put in a safeway, QFC, something. other than spendy beyond pull date food.
Comment by Norman — 5:44 pm July 18, 2012 #
My kids used to take the Metro home from the SPS bus stop (so far for a kindergartener – ridiculous; glad she had her middle school brother to assist) there. They reported crack smoking at the bus stop at Delridge and Juneau multiple times.
I'm so glad I got the heck outta Dodge. That place is terrible. Anyone who says otherwise is delusional.
Comment by MaryCooks — 5:46 pm July 18, 2012 #
Norman, the Shell station's store is in fact for sale:
Hey thanks for that info, now if I can just get a loan , maybe if enough of us band together we can buy this place and get the other to sale cheap.
Comment by Norman — 6:43 pm July 18, 2012 #
And to add one more thing, maybe just maybe if the city fixed the alleys behind such said area, there wouldn't be so much gang crime, Its a $hit hole back there. the city will not even pick up our trash there. They condemned it in 1997 or so, but yet they still pick up dumpster garbage aka apt, methlab trash.

Unfortunately very few people were in attendance, but what I learned was that not enough people who live in or on Delridge are reporting crimes. If you see a drug deal or something shady are you calling it in to the police? If you aren't then you are enabling those criminals.

Do you know when the next crime fighting meeting is? I have some issues with police procedures or lack there of, when it comes to crime from first hand experience that I would like to get some answers to.

Eric – The West Seattle Crime Prevention Council will not meet again till September, nor does the West Seattle Blockwatch Captains' Network. You would likely be able to chat casually with someone at Picnic at the Precinct on August 11th. – TR
I see that the police didn't tell who ever posting this that the info given to them was false they actually went into the wrong apartment and had to let the young men go. They had wrong people.

MSK, the newest information is the SPD Blotter story linked in the last part of the update. SPD is who said they had "arrested" 3 people – before that, we had only confirmed on scene that they had 2 "in custody," which doesn't necessarily mean arrested. I don't know if the 3 people they reported arresting are the same people they originally had in custody. – TR
And somehow this same area that is the "perfect location" for 66 of the "most vulnerable" mentally ill and drug addicted people to move into?
5200-5600 Del Way has been a hotspot for decades. The DESC project on 5400 block will be right in the middle and directly across from 2 quickmarts that attract trouble, including Super24.
Either DESC doesn't have a clue or they genuinely don't care where they warehouse people, along with our City Council and Director of Housing.

Where's Batman when you need him?
I'm sick of the stupid teenage and drug problems arising out of these underfunded, low rent neighborhoods. They have nothing to offer the community but violence, drug dealing, and offensive behavior towards others. Every time some gang dispute boils over, or it's just simply boredom, those genius kids decide they need to make a statement. I'm even more pissed off that because these idiots don't have anything better to do and haven't a clue how to do something constructive, they cast an evil shadow across our neighborhoods, vandalize our local businesses, libraries, and bus stops, and devalue our residential properties. The new neighborhood becomes a gangland that steadily expands and flourishes as quality people decide to leave rather than fight back.
Once Delridge has a reputation of being a place to buy drugs and wage war, it'll take a huge investment from the city to try and clean it up. The damage will have been done though, so don't think there's a quick turn around just because the mayor-come-lately decides to plant a tree or fix a pothole. We're doomed if we think reliance on others to fix our problems is the only answer. If you want to leave it to others, just look at every other city where there's a crappy low rent zone where thugs run things like tribal warlords. You won't want to stop for gas, pho, bubble tea, cheap tires, or plumbing supplies. You'll just want to keep on moving and hope your car doesn't break down.
Maybe we need a vigilante like Batman to round up all of these useless wasteoid gangster wannabe's and put them on a work crew for 2 years straight, put the worst offenders into a hard labor prison in the south, and the light offenders to work cleaning up Delridge allies, walls, busstops, etc. Those that rise to regain good standing in the community should be asked to patrol the streets at night to make sure no new kids fall prey to the gangland underworld.

Snap out of it, I'm a softie
- From: NT News
- May 19, 2014
MASQUERADING as a smallish green crocodile, many other dogs would've been scared of Wendy the labrador-kelpie.
But owner Christine Friebel assures us underneath the sharp teeth and large comic-like eyes is a friendly pooch.
"She's a third-time rescue dog from the RSPCA," Ms Friebel said. "It goes to show that just because a dog ends up at the pound, there is nothing wrong with it."
The pair were part of the 1500-strong people crew, and probably even more pooches, at the RSPCA Million Paws Walk fundraiser at the Jingili watergardens.
Ms Friebel said the croco-suit was a gift from her sister, who lives in the US.
"They make all sorts of odd things there."
RSPCA NT general manager Dani Walter said the funds raised from the event would go directly to the pet charity. "It will be used for shelter costs, rehoming animals and the day-to-day upgrades and renovations of the shelter," she said.
Ms Walter said the behaviour of all pets at the event was "fantastic".

The behaviour I saw was far from fantastic. The dog attack witnessed by 100s of us was traumatic and upsetting.

SARASOTA, Fla. >> The time for looking in the rearview mirror is over.
The Baltimore Orioles didn't exactly light up the ESPN ticker all winter with their offseason renovations, but when pitchers and catchers take the practice fields during spring training, there will be plenty of reasons to pay attention.
They apparently added one more Thursday, when South Korean right-hander Suk-min Yoon agreed to a relatively modest three-year major league deal. Though the Orioles have not made that official yet, it appears that Yoon will join the competition for one of the five spots in the starting rotation.
Whether he rates as the significant pitching acquisition for which the fan base has been clamoring remains to be seen. If nothing else, he will add another international dimension to an eclectic pitching roster that has a number of issues to resolve the next 61/2 weeks. There will be several pitchers competing to win a place at the back of the rotation, and of course, there is the small matter of filling the vacant closer role following the trade in December that sent Jim Johnson to the Oakland Athletics.
It's possible that Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette still could add another pitcher to the mix over the next week or two, but we've pretty much reached the what-you-see-is-what-you-get stage. That may not satisfy fans who wanted the Orioles to finally show them the money, but there does come a point when it's no longer productive to focus on the players the club might have signed instead of the ones who are likely to be introduced at Camden Yards on March 31 when the team hosts the defending champion Boston Red Sox.
This clubhouse is going to be packed to capacity when all of the players who are on the 40-man roster or received major league invitations report to camp. The total number has already reached 60, before Yoon, so it's going to be a challenge for fans just to familiarize themselves with everybody who has a puncher's chance of sneaking onto the 25-man roster.
Imagine what it's going to be like for the people who have to sort through all those players to send the best possible team back to Baltimore.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter began his 2014 evaluation process during the minicamp held here in January, but he said Thursday that there is no way to replicate what happens in spring training.
"Is it anti-climactic? Not for me," he said. "It's funny, I don't care how much you do in the offseason, I remember as a player — as long ago as that was — as much conditioning, whatever you do, when you get out there for the first day, it's just different. I think it's kind of that mental and emotional back-into-it (feeling), but I think our guys do a good job of knowing where the finish line is. It'll be upbeat."
It won't, however, be particularly eventful unless something unforeseen happens during the workouts leading up to the start of the Grapefruit League, which is seldom a positive thing.
"I love this part of spring," Showalter said, "and then all of the sudden (the players) know the cut days, they know when it's getting ready to having to start getting down. That's when the whole atmosphere changes. I like this part, because they know we aren't cutting anybody tomorrow or for a while. We're not playing any games where, if you were 0-for-4, you feel like you didn't make the club today. They know they aren't going to get any of that, so it's a pretty upbeat time for everybody."
And it should be for the fans up north, who have waited through a very long, cold winter for the Orioles to begin their on-field preparations for the 2014 season.
Surely, the front office could have done more. The ownership could have spent more. The team could be better-tooled to make a run at top of the American League East standings. Everybody knows that. It's yesterday's news.
Now it's time to answer the many questions that will shape the future of this team. Can Tommy Hunter thrive as the full-time closer? Will Zach Britton finally pop and claim the fifth spot in the rotation now that his minor league options have run out? Will Manny Machado be ready for Opening Day?
The list is way too long to include everything here that needs to shake out before the games start to count, so it's time to stop fretting about the offseason. The only thing that's important is where the Orioles go from here.

Monroe township Board of Education
No Party affiliation
#1 What professional and/or personal experience do you feel is most relevant to the position you are seeking? I am a parent and a taxpayer who has been to just about every school board meeting for the last 6 years. I have also checked the budget books for some time now and have asked many questions in order to understand how the school system works. I have been educated the last six years about the workings of the board and school. This experience will allow me to ask the hard questions and not rubber stamp every request.
#2 Why have I chosen to run for the Board of education? For years I have watched and listened to the board make decisions without any consideration to the taxpayers. Besides some very costly mistakes by the board, it is time someone speak up for the public. That is why I am running as a block with two other candidates. Brian Hackett and Richard Gibbons. Together we will be a voice for the residents of Monroe twp. If all three are elected we can change the direction of the insane tax raises and waste that is happening every year.
#3 Please identify one or two of the most important issues in this race and summarize your goals.
Taxes and wasteful spending would be my 2 biggest issues, period. I would make sure the board takes care of the school the way anyone takes care of their own budget. If you don't have it don't spend it. I would look though the budget line by line in order to find ways to stop the waste that is happening in our schools today. We cannot ask the taxpayer to foot the bill anymore!
#4 what do you see as the biggest difference voters should consider between yourself and your opponents? Besides Brian Hackett and Richard Gibbons, most of my opponents are either working for the township or have some connection to the board of education. Not a good idea! The main reason we are in trouble with high taxes is that they have detached themselves from the public!

|ICSI outcome in patients with transient azoospermia with initially motile or immotile sperm in the ejaculate.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15980009 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: In patients with transient azoospermia, few sperm may be found in the ejaculate. We investigated the outcome of ICSI in patients with transient azoospermia. METHODS: Records of patients with transient azoospermia referred during a 42 month period were reviewed. If only immotile sperm were found, the sample was incubated with 30% human serum albumin (HSA) before motility re-assessment. If still immotile, mechanical assessment of sperm viability was utilized. Study groups were: (A) motile sperm; (B) motility achieved by HSA; (C) no motility, but viability assessed by a mechanical technique; and (D) control group with sperm counts from 1 to 5 x 10(6)/ml. There were 57 couples (cycles) in the study group and 43 couples (cycles) in the control group. RESULTS: Age, days of stimulation and endometrial thickness were comparable among groups. In 29.8% of the cycles, only immotile sperm were found. Fertilization and cleavage rates were higher in groups A and D than in groups B and C. Clinical pregnancy rate/cycle and live birth rate/cycle were not different among groups. No congenital malformations were found in newborns. CONCLUSION: Fertilization and cleavage rates were lower in patients with initially immotile sperm compared with those with initially motile sperm and oligoasthenoteratozoospermia patients. Clinical pregnancy and viable pregnancy rates were not statistically different among groups, although when only immotile sperm were present both clinical pregnancy and live birth rate were lower in comparison with cycles with motile sperm.

The Michigan State Police Office of Highway Safety Planning and the Michigan Association for Pupil Transportation's (MAPT) Special-Needs Committee have developed a packet for documenting student emergency information in the event that special-needs children on school buses are involved in a serious vehicular accident. The packet, which was created with input from the Michigan Department of Community Health-EMS & Trauma Unit, identifies critical information about a bus' passengers that EMT personnel and first responders need in an emergency.The packet includes two template forms that can be modified to include an operation's information: name, contact persons, phone numbers, etc. The Passenger Emergency Information Form template serves as a roster of all passengers on a bus with medical, behavior or physical issues. The Transportation Information/Emergency Sheet template can be modified to include other student information that the transportation provider feels is important. The sheet can also include a picture of the student for ease of identification.Both of these emergency form templates can be found on the MAPT Website under the Resources-Special Needs section. MAPT officials suggest placing the information packet above the driver's area, preferably on the left bulkhead area across from the passenger doorway. Due to the reflective material on the outside of the packet, it would be readily visible to first responders who enter the bus through this doorway.MAPT also noted that securing the packet inside the bus is left up to transportation providers, but ease of removal should be considered due to the need for confidentiality, form updating, wear and tear, and usage by EMT personnel and first responders.Finally, the association recommends notifying your local emergency responders to make them aware of the information packet. The State of Michigan Medical Control Authorities Directory is also posted on the MAPT Website under the Resources-Special Needs section.The packet is free for Michigan's school bus transportation providers. To order packets, contact the MAPT office at (517) 886-0881.

I have seen this hair serum in some salons before but never used it, until I came across it on sale at Escentual. This 250ml bottle of serum lasts me a very long time, although I have to admit that I use other hair serums/products simultaneously. Here's what I think of it:
- I actually like its packaging, simple white and red with a dispenser. The thing about dispensers is that I can never totally love them nor hate them. They are convenient, but at times they can be pretty annoying.
- It has a rather interesting lightweight texture, definitely smooth, yet also a bit sticky and slippery.
- It's also strongly scented, it smells like apple or pear, fruity and fresh. I'm actually fine with its fragrance, but if you're not a fan of heavily scented things, consider yourself warned.
- The fact that I have used up this big bottle shows that it certainly does its job. Not only does it tame and soften my thick long hair, but it also works amazingly with my friend's fine hair. It builds moisture and gives a bit shine to my hair and brings a silky smooth finish without flat iron.
This serum is not greasy at all, at least not until you use too much of it at once, which I think would probably happen with any other serums. And once I was silly enough to waste so much of it on my hair that I had to wash it off as it got a bit greasy and totally weighed my hair down. Bad example here, please do not copy.
I use it on both wet and dry hair. I rub a reasonable amount between my palms and work it through my hair. I like that it provides protection against UV and heat damage, because after it's been applied to my hair, I can simply use a blow-dryer to create a straight and smooth finish. On dry hair, I use a tiny bit of it through the mid-length to the end of my hair for added shine and lessened fizziness and protection against humidity during the day.
This S-Factor Silky Smooth Moisture Serum from TIGI seems to serve everyday purposes, but it just misses a WOW factor in my opinion. I would use it till its last but I can totally live without it.
That being said, I possibly will repurchase it in the future on Escentual. Why Escentual? Only because this serum seems to always be on offer for less than £10 for 250ml on theirwebsite.
