"They're really good people in Mercersburg Band," said Sabol.
He is chairman of Cumberland Valley 21-Day Retreat Organization that hosts the military-style American flag retreat, patriotic concert and fireworks displays each Fourth of July in Chambersburg Memorial Park.
Sabol said the band does what's asked for in the program and last year even volunteered an unusual service: a real, live bugler to play "Taps" and other bugle calls for the closing ceremony.
"We always had canned music for the bugle calls for the retreat, and last year they came to us and said 'We have a bugler that will play your three bugle calls,'" Sabol said, and added, "Not everybody knows those bugle calls anymore."
The band stirs patriotic fervor as its concert follows the 7 p.m. flag retreat ceremony -- the final day for the flag retreats that occur at dusk each day from Flag Day to Fourth of July each year.
The evening concert, and the fireworks that begin about 9:30 p.m., end a day in the park that begins at noon, with a car show, game stands and food stands for the crowd that grows as evening wears on. Visitors should take chairs or blankets to sit on.
Chambersburg's fireworks aren't the only game in town.

US Interventionism Stokes North Korea Flames
Posted By John Glaser On March 13, 2013 @ 11:48 am In News | Comments Disabled
This AP story [1] says that North Korea may be gearing up for an attack on South Korea, if history is any guide. Apparently, past North Korean assaults have been preceded by explicit threats followed by a stretch of quiet.
…Pyongyang, angry over perceived slights, took its time before exacting revenge on rival South Korea. Vows of retaliation after naval clashes with South Korea in 1999 and 2009, for example, were followed by more bloodshed, including attacks blamed on North Korea that killed 50 South Koreans in 2010.
What's wrong with the analysis is that North Korea is again portrayed as the sole offender, a rogue villain that is obsessed with aggression regardless of the context.
But let's not forget what North Korea's recent bluster is about. Kim Jong Un's belligerent rhetoric is a reaction to two US-led policies – namely, harsh economic sanctions and provocative military exercises with the South.
The sanctions are useless [2]. They accomplish nothing except to increase the deprivation of the North Korean people. Years of sanctions and diplomatic isolation have only pushed Pyongyang deeper into its own insular, authoritarian hawkishness.
And the military exercises Washington insists on performing with South Korea are equally egregious. The US says their purpose is to support our ally and promote stability, despite the fact that the drills have the predictable consequence of infuriating the North and increasing instability, as we've seen.
In reality, the military exercises – like other such operations the US performs around the world – are a wanton show of force meant to project power in a region Washington seeks to dominate militarily, economically, and politically. In some ways, this has never been clearer in the age of Obama's Asia-Pivot.
As Kevin Zeese and Margaret Flowers wrote here at Antiwar.com [3] last week, the US is far more deserving of being portrayed as the aggressor:
The United States stations 28,500 troops in South Korea. In November 2012 the US upgraded its weapons systems and announced an agreement with Japan [4] that would allow South Korea to bomb anywhere in North Korea. In June 2012 the Pentagon announced that Gen.l Neil H. Tolley would be removed as commander of US Special Operations in South Korea after he revealed to a Japanese foreign affairs publication that American and South Korean troops had been parachuting into North Korea [5] on spy missions.
…South Korea and the US regularly hold military exercises off the Korean coast [6], which North Korea describes as planning for an invasion. The United States claims these exercises are defensive in nature to assure preparedness. Prior to the recent nuclear test [7], Seoul and Washington conducted a joint naval exercise with a US nuclear submarine off South Korea's east coast, followed by a joint air force drill as well as live weapon exercises near a disputed sea boundary [8] between North and South Korea. These drills have gotten more aggressive during the Obama administration and since the death of Kim Jong-il, as outlined by geopolitical analyst Jen Alic [9]…
…North Korea has shown anger at these drills. In response to the announcement of the largest annual joint exercises [10] for US and South Korean troops scheduled for March and April of this year, in a rare direct message [11] to US Gen. James Thurman, North Korea warned the top American commander in South Korea on Feb. 23 of "miserable destruction" if the US military presses ahead with the joint drills with South Korea set to begin next month.
Like I said, the predictable consequences of US militarism are brushed aside. So if North Korea does engage in some sort of small scale attack soon, it will be in no small part because the US deliberately provoked it – choosing interventionism over stability.

They may not be able to cast a vote in any public referendum, but a group of Arcadia children are making sure their voices are being heard.
The Concerned Kids of Arcadia is a newly formed organization made up of some of the town's youngest members — elementary school-age children to be precise. Eight-year-old Trinity Wells teamed up with her cousin, Broden Haltiner, also 8, to organize the group.
Trinity's mom, Jessica, said her daughter, a third grader at Kelley School, had inquired about the "No Landfill" signs that had sprouted up around the area, especially in and around Fairville, closest to where a solid waste facility is being proposed on town-owned land where the old landfill once operated.
The topic of the landfill came up at the dinner table on more than one occasion, Jessica said. The proposal before the Arcadia Town Board potentially hinges on a public vote regarding the sale of the land to Arcadia Hills developer Joe Alloco, but residents Trinity's age don't have a vote. After sharing the facts with her daughter, Jessica said, Trinity was left to draw her own conclusions.
"Who wants 200 trucks driving by your house a day and leaving tracks in your yard," Trinity said.
She decided she wanted to do something. Her first effort was a donation of $41 of her own money to Concerned Citizens of Arcadia.
But Trinity wasn't done yet.
Cousin Broden, also a third grader at Kelley School, lives just a hop, skip and a jump away, and he decided to join Trinity in her endeavor as they hashed out ideas to raise money to support CCoA. Gathering more friends from kindergarten through third grade and a few fifth graders, Concerned Kids of Arcadia was formed.
Their first venture into fund-raising has resulted in the Kids' Carnival set for this Saturday, Nov. 17 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Fairville Fire Hall, 2963 Route 88 N. The kids have created a number of games for the event that other children can come play to earn tickets that can be redeemed for prizes.
The 25 members of Concerned Kids are donating not just their time and effort in creating signs and games and manning the carnival booths, but they are also donating their own gently used toys to give away as prizes. Bins filled with like-new toys sat on top of and under a table in the workroom at Trinity's house — and more are pouring in as the carnival draws closer.
The event will also include a cake walk, 50/50 raffle, zoo tickets, homemade apple butter, jams and pies and food including hamburgers, hot dogs and popcorn. Although the games are for the kids, CCoA was asked to have a booth set up for parents interested in learning more about the group and the proposed landfill. Local businesses and organizations have donated some of the raffle prizes, and CCoA members are donating the cakes for the cake walk. All in all, Jessica said the event will be a good family activity.
Page 2 of 2 - When news of the youths' plans reached Andy Bodine, president of CCoA, he was astounded by the children's initiative.
"They are our future, and it looks brighter with kids that care that much about their town," he said.
Trinity and Broden are "very, very excited" about the coming carnival. If he had to pick a favorite game, Broden said his choice would be the Marshmallow Shoot where contestants will have to shoot marshmallows to topple stacked cans and earn tickets.
Jessica is very proud of her daughter and her nephew — not for opposing the landfill, but for standing up for something they believe in.
"They know they don't want the landfill," she said. "But it's more about being active in their future and the future of where they live."

Kind regards,

The system is currently down for maintenance. Why is it happening during the middle of a work day?
Update: around 12:30 pm today the site admin and FTP was down for a NA datacenter site. As of a few minutes ago it is back up again.
It was my understanding that maintenance would be done at 1am PT. My time zone is ET so that means it would start at 4am and complete no later than 11am. The server was still down at 12:30pm.
I understand that updates like this don't always go exactly as planned but I'd like to suggest that they be done on weekend days (not during the work week) and for the US I think it would have been better to start earlier (like 9 or 10pm PT) so that on the east coast the finish time would have been more reasonably ended in the morning rather than go into the early afternoon.
3. Re: Admin system down tonight - Spelling mistakeFlorin Carlig Jun 14, 2012 11:38 PM (in response to Todd H&M)
Thanks for your feedback.
Indeed, there have been some issues detected during the scheduled maintenance window, and it had to be extended in order to finish everything off. I will forward your feedback to the Operations team and ask for the schedule to be revised for future maintenance work.
Once again, please accept our apologies for this inconveniences.
Kind regards,
Florin Carlig

Starting today, we'll publish monthly rankings of major ISPs based upon their actual performance across all Netflix streams.
Google Fiber is now the most consistently fast ISP in America, according to actual user experience on Netflix streams in November.
Broadly, cable shows better than DSL. AT&T U-verse, which is a hybrid fiber-DSL service, shows quite poorly compared to Verizon Fios, which is pure fiber. Charter moved down two positions since October. Verizon mobile has 40% higher performance than AT&T mobile.
The average performance is well below the peak performance due to a variety of factors including home Wi-Fi, a variety of devices, and a variety of encodes. The relative ranking, however, should be an accurate indicator of relative bandwidth typically experienced across all users, homes, and applications.

What Is The Best Combination Exercise?
If you've ever skipped a workout or trip to the gym because you told yourself you just didn't have enough time, these combination exercises might be just what you need to tighten up your workout time! Combination exercises involve more than one joint and muscle group, which makes them a great choice for effectively utilizing more muscles in less time.
There is a diverse set of combination exercises, and depending on what your workout focuses on, obviously you would want to pick different exercises for specific muscle groups. But since combinations allow you to work more of them, therefore also burning more calories, choosing the best exercises gives you an even more efficient routine.
We've had our exercise experts explain what their favorite combination exercise is, and why it is such an effective choice. Give them a try and see if you find it makes a difference!
Best Combination Exercise #1 | DB Lunge With Shoulder Press
Best Combination Exercise #2 | DB Clean and Press
I already listed the DB Clean and Press as the best exercise to lose weight, which is also a combination movement. Some others to consider are reverse wood chop using the cable machine, which combines a rotation, squat, and a pull, T-push ups, which combine rotation and pushing, and a DB stiff legged deadlift with an upright row. On a cable machine, you can get creative and create many different combination exercises and movements. Generally, I prefer circuits of exercises rather than choosing several combination exercises, but that's me. I find I can lift harder and heavier using circuits, so I stay strong without sacrificing my overall conditioning.
– Marc Perry, CSCS, CPT
Best Combination Exercise #3 | Shoulder Press To Reverse Lunge
Best Combination Exercise #4 | Barbell Front Squat & Press
Best Combination Exercise #5 | Burpee Variations
We hope you find some new exercises to try from these combinations to give your muscles a great workout!
8 Comments on "What Is The Best Combination Exercise?"
Hey Marc,
It's Tarek (from Portledge). Just wanted to let you know I was looking over some of your articles to help me start working out. Your site looks great. Keep up the good work.
Some great excercises to try out, thanks!
I've recently been doing supersets of 6 combination exercises that all share the same secondary muscle (primary varies to include total body). Is there any negatives to using combination exercises like this 3-4x/week? If not, what would be a good way to progress them (other than +weight/reps)?
Thanks again!
These combos are a butt buster for sure!! Thanks for sharing your insight I read these articles every day and they have helped immensely!!
Hi mark, I've been following your blogs for some time now, with great interest, I want to ask you a quick question, I've been a strong swimmer for many years(2000metres front crawl x 4 weekly ). But my weight has been gradually increasing, so I've decided to switch to using kettlebells, I'm using quite heavy weights of 12, 14, 16, and 18 kg bells, I'm swinging, high pulls, clean &press, 1hand swings etc, using HIIT for 25 sets of 60 second work, 30sec rest, it's very tough, but my weight and size dosnt appear to be changing, I do this x 5 per week.
PLUS walking my dogs each day, I'm definitely stronger and getting muscle definition, but I still can't fasten my jeans!! My diet is good, raw veg, protein, few carbs, I still eat auger but have cut down, I'm also replacing 3 meals a week with whey protein powder shakes,
Any tips would be great? Also are kettlebells better than swimming for weight loss? Many thanks Rosemary
@Marc, I favor your view. I also experienced higher exertion using combo moves like Dr. Lagakos wrote.
February 27, 2013 #
running is the best option to remove belly fat..!!!
March 11, 2013 #
Hi Marc!
I am working on gaining sum muscles yet I want to get rid of some extra weight. Should I do cardio at the same training, after weights, or it would be better to do it on separate days?

The 10 Biggest Douchebags in Country Music
By Mike Seeley
Slippers play progressive jazz that's very noir-ish and atmospheric and moody and full of dynamics and vaguely Eastern-influenced. I'd almost say it's experimental, but that makes it sound like there are big huge yawning gaps of sound involving nothing more than a rainstick or didjeridu or, even worse, someone rubbing a pick against a guitar string to make that squeaking sound or tapping their guitar pickups or doing weird things with rubber hosing. Slippers don't even have a rainstick or didjeridu! Plus, they're more frenetic than that, but in a mellow way. "They're very yang," said the aforementioned roommate. Yang, indeed!
The incredible drummer played with bundlesticks, which is always cool, and the incredible keyboard player, at one point, played this keyboard thing you blow into.
"By God, he's taking bong rips onstage!" I proclaimed to my friends, but I was mostly just crapping around to distract myself from the Happy Hibachi Couple seated behind us, who were furiously making out only inches from their flaming tabletop grill. Then I suggested it might be funny if my friend lit his cigarette on their hibachi, but that's just because I would appreciate it if no one was in love around me and it's not like he did it, anyway.
Sometimes, apparently, Slippers have vocals; not tonight. They were entirely instrumental save for the "Woo!" that kept emanating from the stage. I never did figure out who was wooing. Also, their latest CD consists of two songs, one of which is about 20 minutes long and has 15 or so parts. They played this song, but I think they only included about 13 of the parts.
"Since when do you have all this noise?" a little old lady asked the restaurant's owner at one point. From the back, the little old lady looked frighteningly like my grandmother, but I think my grandma would have liked Slippers. Which is not to say they're grandma music because they're not, but rather that they possess amazing, incredible, exhilarating talent, which is something with multigenerational appeal.
Even if the Happy Hibachi Couple didn't seem to notice. (Alison M. Rosen)
1. Yes, he actually said, "talentedest." Just like that: talentedest.
2. Now, see, that horrible book The Rules says you should never accept a weekend date after Wednesday, but it also says you should never stay on the phone with a guy for longer than 10 minutes and, to that end, you should keep an egg timer by the phone, to which I respond: Isn't an egg timer only good for three minutes, and also, what the hell good is a guy who's all hot for me if I don't even know whether I like him because I never talk to him for long enough to find out because I'm always getting off the phone?
3. I'm high-maintenance, okay?
4. ZZ Top make me physically ill. Yes, their earlier stuff is good but when I think of them, all I think about is THAT HORRIBLE SLEEPING BAG SONG. I HATE THAT SONG!

Wendy Harpham, M.D., a physician and cancer survivor, talks about side effects and how to discuss them with your doctor. She talks from the wisdom of her own cancer experience and also that of treating patients in her practice.
Wendy is featured in this video created by the Interpersonal Communication And Relationship Enhancement (iCare) program at MD Anderson "Talking about side effects".
Slouched on the exam table, I take a quick breath and sit up as the door squeaks open. My oncologist smiles and asks, "How are you, Wendy?"
This is a routine check-up. My cancer is in remission. The last thing I want to do is complain.
My oncologist sits down and looks at me expectantly. I hesitate before telling him about the persistent pain we've talked about at past visits. As for my new symptom, I'm almost too embarrassed to bring it up. But I do.
Why did I choose to talk about a symptom so strange that my Google search yielded no links to reputable sites? Why did I bring up a minor problem after we'd achieved our main goal and my cancer was in remission?
Because as a physician I knew intellectually that talking about side effects was the right thing to do. I believed -- I hoped -- that talking about my side effects could help my recovery.
Still, finding the courage to speak up took time and effort. Like many patients, I feared annoying my oncologist with too many complaints. I worried about disappointing him with my menagerie of symptoms, none of which were life-threatening.
As a doctor it fascinated me to watch myself hesitate to talk about my symptoms. Most of my feelings -- fear, embarrassment, desire to avoid more tests, worry about annoying him -- were subconscious.

The initiative is part of this weekend's Hockey Weekend Across America.
The athletes had gathered at the NHL Store with NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly and NHL Live! host E.J. Hradek to celebrate and share their stories about how special-needs hockey programs have improved their lives.
Several called hockey "the ultimate physical and occupational therapy," and described how the sport had lifted them emotionally.
The crowd was hushed as retired Army Sgt. 1st Class Joseph L. Bowser recounted the 2004 attack on Camp Anaconda in Balad, Iraq, when he was injured, causing the amputation of his right leg below the knee. Given a choice of living with a painful, damaged right leg that would have required lifelong pain medication, Bowser chose the amputation.
"I wanted to be able to play hockey again," Bowser said. "The doctors all knew my whole objective was to get back on the ice again. When I did, I felt normal again. When you get on the ice, everyone forgets about the disability and it's all about putting the puck in the net.
"When I was told I made the U.S. Amputee Team, that was one of my biggest thrills. I thank everybody here and thank the USA."
"There are outlets for those who are disabled. Hockey is the ultimate way to get people back in the right frame of mind." -- Andrew Schwartz
O'Connor recalled the 2002 Team USA sled-hockey gold medal, when the Americans rallied from the lowest-rated seed.
"The only reason we were in the tournament was because we were the host country," O'Connor said. "That was our 'Miracle On Ice.' That was the Cinderella story for that team. Now, the USA is No. 1 in the world. We've won the last three tournaments."
Tim Jones, a member of the U.S. Paralympic Sled Hockey Team from Mt. Ephraim, N.J., said "we have to prove we're still No. 1," at the upcoming 2010 Paralympic Winter Games, March 13-20, in Vancouver. The 15 players on the team play for nine different American sled-hockey programs and were selected from the 47 players who tried out last July.
The National Hockey League, through its Hockey Is For Everyone initiative, supports USA Hockey's 60 special-hockey teams in more than 30 cities as part of the American Special Hockey Association, as well as the national-teams program.
Twenty percent of Friday morning's sales proceeds at the NHL Store were donated to the American Special Hockey Association.
"The NHL's support for special-needs athletes is unmatched in any other major American sport," said USA Hockey's Jim Smith, who coaches the Chicago Hornets, a special-needs team.
"There are outlets for those who are disabled," said Andrew Schwartz of Everybody Skates New Jersey. Schwartz is a player-coach with the New York Rangers Sled Hockey Team, which plays out of the Rangers' practice facility in Greenburgh, N.Y. "Hockey is the ultimate way to get people back in the right frame of mind."
His brother, Jon, coaches the New Jersey Daredevils, a group of about 50 players who participate in a specially-adapted learning environment. The Daredevils have a regular Saturday afternoon practice spot at the Richard J. Codey Arena in West Orange, N.J.
The Schwartzes would like to see that kind of access in every rink.
The Everybody Skates New Jersey athletes are asking for one hour of ice time a week set aside for special-needs players at each rink in New Jersey.
"We can pay our own way. We can raise the funds," said Jon Schwartz. "We have 1.4 million disabled people in New Jersey, or 16 percent of the population. That's double the poverty level. New Jersey leads the nation in autism. One in 94 children in New Jersey is autistic. The need is there."
USA Hockey recognizes four distinct disabled hockey disciplines: sled, deaf/hard of hearing, standing amputee and special hockey. Players from all four disciplines are participating in the journey, which ends Sunday at Newark's Prudential Center, where the New Jersey Devils host the Los Angeles Kings at 5 p.m. ET.
"Disabled hockey programs enrich local communities, provide volunteer opportunities and are self-sustaining," Andrew Schwartz said. "The challenge these programs face is access to regular ice time each week in-season."
"There are tremendous things happening in our sport in all parts of the nation," said Dave Ogrean, executive director of USA Hockey, "and it's only appropriate that we utilize Hockey Weekend Across America to celebrate those accomplishments."
For those interested in participating in a special-needs hockey program, or in starting one, O'Connor directed them to the USA Hockey Web site, USAhockey.com. Click on the Players drop-down menu and select "Disabled." There you'll find a list of teams and contact information.
"If you want to play hockey, we'll find a way to make it happen," O'Connor said.

To enhance your showering experience....
5 comments:
You could make way more than two cents with this EXCELLENT advice! Why do architects and builders NOT know these things?????ReplyDeleteReplies
I think its more about aesthetics than functionality. And it needs to have drama impact. And sometimes they've just not thought of it!Delete
Maybe they'll hear us and pay attention?
Convincing the plumber to install the shower controls on the opposite end of the space from the shower head was pretty difficult. "Are you sure?" "Are you sure?"ReplyDelete
But you know what? It works perfectly. You can tell from the splattering water if it is hot or cold and move over to see if it is "just right." You don't have to stand in the water to turn the water on in the first place or to adjust it (and accidentally get shocked with cold or burned by too hot).
Simple thing, but almost never seen, unless you have a shower built for you.
A bench is such a great thing. Not everyone can balance on one leg while washing each foot or the backs of their legs, etc. A nice cement bench covered in tile is very handy and makes a great place to leave the shampoo bottle. ;-)
All this sounds so simple. But why are these things so rarely seen?Replies
Indeed it is difficult to get some to do things differently than they've done before, but be firm, be stubborn.Delete
I got all these things EXCEPT the drain, I stand on or straddle over the darn thing, I hate it!
My current pet peeve is arquitects/builders/designers/whatevers that put river rock in the shower area - sure it 'looks' really pretty, and if this is in a bathroom that never gets used, great. Those rocks have to be regularly removed and cleaned, ugh!!!!!
Dang Debi. From the title I thought the article was going to be a tad racy. :-)ReplyDelete

The Environmental Protection Agency late last month proposed strict new "clean fuel" standards on gasoline. The EPA said the so-called Tier 3 rule would cut emissions of smog-forming pollutants, as well as toxic emissions like benzene.
What the EPA didn't say was that levels of these pollutants have been falling steadily for years, and would continue to fall even without the new rule, which the oil industry says will cost tens of billions of dollars.
Indeed, a fact that won't get much attention on Earth Day — April 22 — is that pollution has been falling across the board for decades, even while the nation's population and economy have expanded. Overall air pollution levels dropped 62% from 1990 to 2012, while GDP grew 69% and population climbed 26%.
Everything has seen declines: carbon monoxide, soot, sulfur dioxide, ozone, lead and others. Many are now below the EPA's safety threshold.
CO2 At 20-Year Low
Even carbon dioxide emissions dropped Hayward released the latest almanac on April 16.
Other environmental measures also show steady improvement.
Water quality, including drinking water, has improved over the past several decades. And per-capita water use has declined 30% since 1975, notes the U.S. Geological Survey.
There are about 20 million more acres of forest land now than there were 20 years ago, according to the Forest Service.
Trend Should Continue
Even if no new environmental rules were introduced, these improvements will likely continue, as newer, more efficient technology continues to replace older equipment. As Hayward notes, "reductions in air pollution are occurring more rapidly than the EPA's models have forecast."
Yet in the face of these successes, the EPA has only accelerated its regulatory efforts.
The Tier 3 rule, for example, will force oil refiners to cut the sulfur content of gasoline from 30 parts per million down to 10 parts per million. The industry says this will cost $10 billion upfront and more than $2 billion a year, raising gas prices by up to 9 cents a gallon.
The EPA claims the rule will help avoid up to 2,400 premature deaths a year. But the existing Tier 2 standard had already cut the sulfur content dramatically from the previous 300 parts per million, and is contributing to substantial gains in air quality.
Levels of volatile organic compounds — a chief ingredient in smog — have dropped 88% since 1970. Nitrogen oxides, another smog forming agent, are down about as much. And levels of benzene, a toxic air pollution that the EPA says its new rule will cut, dropped 66% over the past two decades.

2 hot topics at Southwest District Council this weekSeptember 1, 2009 at 9:04 am | In Alki Homestead, Southwest District Council, West Seattle news | 2 Comments
No major public meetings tonight, but tomorrow night, you might want to show up for the Southwest District Council's monthly meeting at the South Seattle Community College board room if you're interested in libraries or landmarks: The agenda includes a Friends of Seattle Public Library rep talking about the SPL budget – hot considering this is the week the libraries are shuttered to save $ – and a Southwest Seattle Historical Society rep discussing what's up with the landmark Alki Homestead Restaurant, closed since the fire last January. Also on the agenda, Seattle City Councilmember Bruce Harrell, and a discussion of the candidates' forum the SWDC and its counterpart the Delridge Neighborhoods District Council plan to co-sponsor before the November election (as reported here last month). The council meets at 7 pm Wednesday, board room at SSCC (campus map here; map of the Robert Smith Building, containing the board room, here).

What came of this with the Homestead? I'd love to see it re-open soon.

ART OF DYING- George Harrison

Then nothing Sister Mary can do can keep me here with you
Em7 Em6 C/G
There's nothing in this life that I've been trying
B B7 Em
Can equal or surpass the art of dying

Do do do do, do you believe me?
They'll come the time when all your hopes are fading
When things that seem so very plain, become an awful pain
Searching for the truth among the lying
And answer when you will learn the art of dying
Do do do do, are you still with me?
Do do do do, but if you want it

This is personal, very personal for me. I was home on September 11, 2001, 600 feet away from the World Trade Center. I was in that dust cloud and lived with the burning fires and the ghostly grey mud that coated boots and hems and trouser legs. My kids had breathing problems and behavior problems and I had skin rashes and PTSD. I don't want sympathy or a medal or any sort of special treatment; just want to explain that this is personal for me.
Here's the thing. Grief is always personal and the loss of a loved one is always terrible; the particular circumstances surrounding it do not make the burden of grief any easier or harder to shoulder. I would not presume to tell anyone how long or much to grieve, or how to go about it; everyone is different. But while grief and mourning expressed at home or at one's place of worship are private matters, when public streets and parks are closed, that's a public concern. After six years, I just don't think that we need that kind of tribute, and according to The New York Times I'm not alone. It's not that I don't feel the anniversary should be commemorated. It's just that I think there are better ways to honor the dead: by harnessing all the fear and rage and grief and energy to do something constructive.
The Points of Light Foundation is a volunteer network that sponsors seasons of service, with the belief that important observances should be "Days on, not days off." One of their partner organizations is My Good Deed, which encourages people to set time aside every September 11 to help others. You can make a pledge on their site, anything from working with a local disaster preparedness organization, putting a day aside build a house with Habitat for Humanity to promising to be nice to a sibling or help an elderly neighbor. Each good deed changes the world, even if only a little bit.
Of course, there are games, too. Sort of. September 12 is not a game. I say so and the designer, Gonzalo Frasca says so. There are no victory conditions, no goals, and no way to change the outcome. Rather, it is a simulation. If you don't like simplistic, educational simulations, give it a miss. However, it does what games and interactive media do best, which is to allow a user to grasp a point or concept more clearly by doing than by looking. In September 12, you are in an Arab market with twisty, crowded streets. There are two kinds of people: civilians and terrorists. You have to kill terrorists. If you don't, they will blow things up. If you do, there will be civilian casualties, and after the fires are out and the wailing stops, more terrorists spring up. If you keep playing, eventually, you will have more terrorists than anything. It's a good exercise to keep in mind when you hear the reading of the names; it's not that those people shouldn't be remembered, but the countless civilians throughout the Middle East do not have an annual memorial, and yet are no less missed by their loved ones.
New York Defender is a very different thing completely. It is a game. In fact, it's a shooter and it's meant to be empowering, with tag lines like "go beyond your powerlessness and fight back with your mouse," and "for those of you who wish we had a chance to defend ourselves on 9/11." Honestly, I can't say how good it is; watching planes come towards the World Trade Center once was enough for me. In New York Defender, planes do come at the World Trade Center and you shoot them down. Of course, they come in faster and faster in greater numbers, and eventually one will get through.
And finally, one more not-a-game. Madrid, also by Gonzalo Frasca, was designed and intended as a tribute after the Madrid bombings. It's simple and sounds corny. There is a crowd of people, of all genders and ages. Each one is wearing a similar shirt: " I 'heart' New York," "I 'heart' Oklahoma City," "I 'heart' Madrid. " Like that. And each one is holding a candle. That's pretty much it, except there is a wind blowing, which you can hear, and you have to click on the candles to make them glow brighter and to keep them from blowing out. It was so so obvious, that I almost didn't click, and once I started and couldn't stop: I didn't want those candles to blow out. Games and interactive media can make a point more quickly and effectively than most things, and this one made me cry.
Earlier in the day, when I published this column, I put it up under my own byline by mistake. I apologize to Eleanor and our readers for the error and any confusion it's caused.
Wow...thanks for the thoughts, Eleanor. A great perspective from someone who really lived through the event and the aftermath. Your comments on the games were insightful as well...I think I'm going to have to re-install Shockwave just to get the full affect of September 12th.

The Timken Co. and the University of Akron are joining forces to accelerate commercialization of specialized research.
Timken Co. and University of Akron have agreed to a project to accelerate technology development.
The organizations plan to combine their expertise in materials and surface engineering at newly established laboratories as part of Akron's College of Engineering, the company said in a statement.
Timken will contribute resources to establish the Timken Engineered Surfaces Laboratory, in a new facility under construction on the campus at Wolf Ledges Parkway and Carroll Street.
Timken's Gary L. Doll, chief technologist in next-generation materials and tribology, which is the science and engineering of interacting surfaces in motion, will lead the lab as the newly-established Timken Endowed Chair in Engineered Surfaces beginning Sept. 1.
Timken will fund and equip the new laboratory, one of five to be housed in the new engineering research building. Other labs include the Wright Center for Sensor Systems Engineering, as well as those for corrosion and reliability engineering, integrated biomedical engineering and advanced vehicle and energy systems.
Following Doll's transition to the university, two Timken research investigators also will make the move to the campus to begin work. The value of the partnership to Akron, which also includes research funding, is approximately $5 million and will place the university among the leading U.S. institutions nationally recognized for surface engineering and tribology research, the company said.

Riba rides to front row in BSS
1 January 1901
MSS Discovery Kawasaki rider Pere Riba earned a seventh front row start of the year as he qualified third fastest for the 13th and final round of the British Supersport championship at Donington Park, Leics on Saturday.
Spaniard Riba completed an impressive qualifying display - in his first year in the series - but was disappointed not to have taken his first pole position of the year and head the grid for Sunday's 18-lap race.
"In the final qualifying session I immediately improved on my first qualifying session time and that was on a race tyre," explained Riba. "I was ready to go and take pole position with a softer compound rear tyre before spots of rain appeared and everyone was forced to slow."
"At least we were in a position where I could go and have a really good shot at pole position. We have the ZX-6RR set up well for Donington Park and now I've missed out on my first pole position I'll be going for my first race win of the year tomorrow."

Hungry Girl Today: 9.27.13
Looking to "Live Más," as they say at Taco Bell? That doesn't mean you need to eat más calories and más fat. Here are our best tips for keeping it guilt-free when you run for the border...
Need-to-Know Menu Lingo
Fresco - Each item on the Fresco menu has 350 calories or less and under 10 grams of fat! Plus, you can order ANY item Fresco-style, and T. Bell will replace the cheese, creamy sauces, sour cream, and/or guacamole with pico de gallo. Think of it this way: Fresco is to Taco Bell what Skinny is to Starbucks!
Cantina Bell - These schmancy-looking items include upscale ingredients, like marinated grilled meats and cilantro-flecked rice. Does that mean these are automatically smart picks? NOPE. Keep reading for the full scoop.
Power Protein - Before you get TOO excited, these double-the-meat (chicken or steak), slimmed-down offerings are currently available at only a few test locations. But maybe if we all wish really hard (and post on Taco Bell's Facebook page!), this menu will soon appear at locations nationwide.
Tacos & Burritos
SÍ! Chicken, Steak, or Beef Soft Tacos
1 soft taco: 160 - 200 calories, 5 - 9g fat, 450 - 500mg sodium, 16 - 18g carbs, 2 - 3g fiber, 1 - 2g sugars, 9 - 13g protein -- PointsPlus® value 4 - 5*
1 Fresco soft taco: 140 - 160 calories, 3.5 - 7g fat, 410 - 490mg sodium, 16 - 18g carbs, 2 - 3g fiber, 2g sugars, 8 - 11g protein -- PointsPlus® value 3 - 4*
Whether you go regular or Fresco-style, soft tacos are among the best options on the menu. You could have three Fresco Chicken Soft Tacos for 420 calories and 10.5g fat... That oughta satisfy!
NO! Cantina Burrito
1 burrito: 720 - 760 calories, 25 - 28g fat, 1,710 - 1,920mg sodium, 94 - 104g carbs, 12 - 17g fiber, 7 - 8g sugars, 20 - 33g protein -- PointsPlus® value 18 - 19*
It looks like it could be the fresh and virtuous burrito of your dreams, but even the Veggie version is trouble. (It also comes in Chicken and Steak.) We suspect that's because a) it's large, and b) rice + beans + creamy dressing + giant tortilla = many, many, many calories. Pass!
SÍ! Burrito Supreme
1 burrito: 390 - 420 calories, 12 - 16g fat, 1,050 - 1,140mg sodium, 51 - 52g carbs, 6 - 8g fiber, 4 - 5g sugars, 17 - 20g protein -- PointsPlus® value 10 - 11*
1 Fresco burrito: 340 - 350 calories, 8 - 9g fat, 1,020 - 1,090mg sodium, 49 - 50g carbs, 6 - 7g fiber, 4g sugars, 18g protein -- PointsPlus® value 8 - 9*
What a difference from the aforementioned burrito bombs! The Fresco picks are our preference -- choose from Chicken and Steak -- but the originals won't do you in. And they'll certainly fill you up.
Curious about those Doritos Locos Tacos? They're not that much higher in calories or fat than the other tacos on the menu. The basics (not Supreme) each have 160 - 170 calories and 10g fat (PointsPlus® value 4*). We'd suggest getting one Fresco-style to slim down those stats.
Known Offenders: Nachos & Taco Salad
From Cheesy to Volcano - The nachos are so not worth it, whether in their simplest chips 'n cheese form (290 calories and 16g fat) or the over-the-top concoction that is the Volcano Nachos (990 calories and 59g fat). Skip 'em all, and whip up some cheesy items at home -- click here and here for a couple of HG classics.
See Ya, Salads - We often remind people that salads aren't always the smartest choices on the menu, and these guys are proof. The Fiesta Taco Salads have 730 - 780 calories and 35 - 42g fat! Your best bet is to get the Chicken version Fresco-style, and ditch that massive shell. Or make our absurdly adorable recipe for Tiny Taco Salads!
Specialty Items
SÍ! Cantina Bowl
1 bowl: 510 - 550 calories, 20 - 23g fat, 1,240 - 1,450mg sodium, 59 - 69g carbs, 9 - 14g fiber, 4g sugars, 14 - 26g protein -- PointsPlus® value 13 - 14*
This item could use some tweaks, but you shouldn't count it out. Slim down the stats by skipping the creamy cilantro dressing, guacamole, and/or even the rice. It's a nice complete meal, with chicken, steak, or veggies!
NO! Cantina Double Steak Quesadilla
1 quesadilla: 960 calories, 45g fat, 2,070mg sodium, 97g carbs, 9g fiber, 10g sugars, 43g protein -- PointsPlus® value 25*
This is a limited-time-only item. (Thank goodness.) It's oozing with beef and cheese, and it comes with a SIDE of chips, salsa, and sour cream. BONKERS.
Need a side dish? The Black Beans and Rice is our pick, with 180 calories and 4g fat, plus 5g fiber and 6g protein (PointsPlus® value 4*). Add some pico de gallo or Border Sauce to kick it up a notch.
Taco Swapo Recipe Roundup
Hungry Grilled Nacho Wrap - When you want something that's a li'l gooey and a li'l meaty, this swap is where it's at.
Por Qué No? Mexi Pizza - The Mexican Pizza on the Taco Bell menu is mighty tempting. However, our guilt-free creation has less than half the calories and a small fraction of the fat!
Twice-as-Nice Guapo Taco - We LOVE the idea of a taco within a taco -- it's like the Inception of Mexican foods. But stick with our recipe, okay?
Spicy Chicken Crunchtastic Supreme - The original poultry-packed Crunchwrap is no longer on the menu, but keep the memory alive with this recipe.
Flat-tastic Ranchy Bacon Wrap - Another HG makeover of a limited-time-only food that has come and gone. Like we WEREN'T going to re-create an item with ranch dressing and bacon...

"OAKLEY, a parish in the hundred of Stodden, county Bedford, 4 miles north west of Bedford, its post town, and 7 north east of Newport-Pagnell. It is a station on the Midland railway. The village, which is of small extent, is situated on the navigable river Ouse, which is here crossed by an old stone bridge of five arches. Disastrous floods occurred here in November, 1823, and in November, 1852, doing serious damage for miles around. The fishing in the river is preserved by the Duke of Bedford's order. The inhabitants are chiefly engaged in agriculture. It is a meet for the Oakley hounds. The surface is boldly undulating, and about half a mile from the village is Oakley Hill, commanding an extensive prospect. The tithes were commuted for land and a money payment under an Enclosure Act in 1803. The living is a vicarage annexed to that of Bromham, in the diocese of Ely- The church, dedicated to St. Mary, is an ancient structure, with a square tower containing five bells. The interior of the church has recently been restored. The parochial charities produce about £8 per annum. There is a free school for both sexes, built at the expense of the Duke of Bedford. The Dissenters have two places of worship. Oakley House occupies a central position in the parish, and is the seat of the Duke of Bedford who is lord of the manor."

Creating Jobs and Strengthening the Middle Class Worldwide
Editor's note: Below are remarks as prepared for delivery at the G-20 Joint Finance and Labor Ministers Meeting in Moscow on July 19, 2013.
Good afternoon. Thank you to our Russian hosts for welcoming us and for their leadership in forging this first-ever opportunity for labor and finance ministers to discuss the major challenges facing the global economy and our national economies.
The fundamental premise of today's discussion is that the goals of labor and finance ministries are and should be the same: to foster sustainable economic growth, to expand and strengthen the middle class in each of our countries and across the world, and to reduce unemployment and other economic disadvantages that threaten workers and their families.
These goals are mutually reinforcing and, when achieved, can create a virtuous cycle. Over time, appropriate levels of growth reduce unemployment. The resulting increased employment facilitates greater consumption and a broader tax base, which, in turn, engender more demand and more employment, as well as lower levels of government debt and sufficient funding for a strong social safety net. Activating greater numbers of the unemployed, workers with disabilities, and others experiencing labor market challenges in turn adds underutilized human capital to our nation's production and reduces the demands placed on social safety net programs.
In sum, our goals are aligned. The important innovation in today's meeting is the recognition that the means by which the labor ministries and finance ministries achieve these goals, while quite different, are inextricably intertwined and subject to common measures of success. We can determine whether finance ministries' fiscal policies have succeeded in generating adequate growth by assessing whether unemployment is returning to pre-crisis levels, or even to a level that might be fairly called a natural rate of unemployment. If not, and if private-sector demand is insufficient to support faster growth, then we can adopt expansionary fiscal policies, again with lower unemployment serving as our measure of success.
In some quarters, including one house of the U.S. Congress and some capitals around the world, the response to economic challenges has been an undue pre-occupation with budget deficits and government debt and unyielding pressure for fiscal austerity. The predictable result has been delayed or disrupted economic growth, and high or even rising unemployment rates. As more jobs are lost and wages stagnate or decline, working families spend less and the economy falls into a downward economic spiral. The virtuous cycle turns vicious.
Similarly, we can ask whether labor ministries' protection of workers' rights and benefits, as well as our skills development infrastructures, have assured that workers' jobs support middle-class lifestyles that are, as President Obama has said, the engine of economic growth. President Obama has concluded that fiscal policies must foster increasing growth when the private sector alone cannot. But he also recognizes that growth alone is not sufficient. Even creating more jobs is not a sufficient public policy response, although it is necessary. New jobs also must be good jobs providing decent wages, safe working conditions, the right to organize and bargain collectively, and economic security in retirement or after the onset of disability. Rising wages and other compensation, including automatic stabilizers like unemployment compensation, are not merely important measures of social justice – they are necessary tools for fighting economic recession. Those policies and programs should be measured based on their contribution to economic growth, at least in part.
That's why the Obama administration has coupled expansionary fiscal policies with labor market policies designed to expand and strengthen a stable and productive middle class. For example, we are investing billions to help workers acquire the skills they need to succeed in newly created jobs and to climb career ladders to the highest rungs their talents and capabilities will allow. We are implementing labor market policies that protect workers' rights on the job, including their right to earn a fair minimum wage and to retire with dignity.
Applied globally, well-devised labor market policies that reinforce pro-growth fiscal policies can help erase the existing jobs deficit and ensure that growth is sustainable and inclusive. Wage floors lift working families out of poverty, but they also bolster demand and reduce economic inequality. Robust systems of collective bargaining help to secure middle-class incomes, employer-provided benefits and safe working conditions.
Cynics complain that labor market policies are part of the problem. On the contrary, they are essential to redressing economic inequality that harms economic growth. A global race to the bottom fueled by low wages and weakened worker protections serves no one's interests, particularly when the world economy already suffers from inadequate demand. Let us instead each strive to provide our workers with the most productive skills and the highest standard of living.
Five years after the onset of the global economic crisis, with roughly 200 million unemployed people around the world according to the International Labour Organization's estimate, there must be no higher priority for our governments than expanded economic growth and the job creation that comes with it. Given that challenge, I can't think of a better moment for the first joint meeting of labor and finance ministers under the G20's auspices. What better time to bring together those of us who help shape the supply of labor with those who help shape the demand for labor?
Again, I congratulate the president of the G-20, our Russian colleagues, and all of today's participants as we work together toward a sounder and fairer global economy. Thank you, and I look forward to our continued discussions.
