I devoured YA lit in my own middle- and high-school years, but it's been a long time since it felt "right" to read it. Other than the notable exception of the Harry Potter novels - which I tend to forget are written for a young audience, since most of the fans I know are fellow so-called grown-ups - it's a book category I've shied away from, and it's been hard to articulate why. I think I have a clue now, though.
As I recently devoured Lizzie Skurnick's Shelf Discovery, a "reading memoir" of young-adult literature that will ring many bells if you were a pre-teen or teen reader between the late 1960's and early 1980's, it wasn't hard to remember reading many of the books she discusses for the first (or second, or third) time. It wasn't hard to remember how I felt when I read them, too.
I chose many of those books at the time because they were about girls my age who were having experiences I could relate to, or experiences I wished I could have (or experiences I really hoped I'd never have, but wouldn't mind reading about someone else having). I was drawn to realistic, of-the-moment fiction, and to novels that tweaked reality without seeming too much like fantasy (which is where Madeleine L'Engle came in, I think). But the main drawing card was that the stories were about girls who were like me, or girls I'd like to be.
Young-adult literature shaped who I was, and who I was becoming, during those years. Some of what I read then still influences who I am now. But I'm not all the same person I was then, and it's taken a lot of work and growth to get to the person I am now. There are things I really don't want to revisit about who I was then...and I realize that's part of why I've shied away from returning to YA literature. There's a certain discomfort level for me in books that might make me feel like I'm fifteen again, since sometimes it seems like it took long enough to stop feeling that way.
Then again, the YA books that book bloggers are introducing me to now aren't the ones I grew up on. They're not books I would be approaching with memories or nostalgia, since I haven't read them before. And most importantly, I'm not fifteen any more, so why should I assume they can affect me as if I were? As Ali of Worducopia put it:
Adolescence is a crucial and fascinating stage of life--teens are an archetype of our power as humans to transform. I don't want to be sixteen again, but the challenges people face at that age still have relevance to me as an adult. My response to them is different than it would be if I were younger, but no less legitimate.My Friend Amy reminds me that "young adult literature" is just a marketing concept anyway:
What makes a book a young adult book? Lack of violence? No. Lack of profanity? No. Lack of sex? No. All of those things can be found and at times in abundance in young adult novels.I've read plenty of "adult" novels with prominent teen characters. I'm interested in books with some substance to them, no matter who the intended audience is. Shelf Discovery refreshed my memory about young-adult literature that had that substance, and can still speak to me; perhaps I've been unreasonably denying myself the opportunity to see if it's there in this generation's YA lit. And since I have Suzanne Collins and Beth Kephart waiting on one of the TBR shelves, maybe it's about time I found out.
Simplified language? No. A dumbed down plot-line? No. Young Adult novels contain some of the most beautiful language I've read as well some of the most riveting heart-wrenching plots.
What makes a book a young adult book? One simple thing. A teenage protagonist.
In fact, many authors do not set out to write a book for young adults, they write a book, and later on learn that it can be marketed as a young adult book. Others, of course, do have teenagers as their primary audience in mind. So there's a quite a mix in what you'll find shelved under Young Adult.

Poem: After I Lost You
In a bat of an eyelash, the shadows you left behind are gone
Now I have nothing
There's nothing left to grasp onto
I am sinking
I float away
Into the midnight blacks and reds
I have been released...
Poem: Another Suicide
The black eyes of determination peer at you from under dyed black bangs
You can't win, so you back away, slam the door of your broken heart
The girl knows how to go, how to disapear permanently
Tonight, at midnight, she is not in her meaningless bed
She stares at the moon shimmered waters below, from her last bridge
The bridge is the girl's own special platform
Soon she will step happily onto the train of death
As the girl takes the plunge, the train come rushing into the station
The girl arrives just on time
With one last sad smile, she is carried away
On the journey of death
Poem: Questioning Ghost
Why do I see when the world is dark?
Why do I follow paths that disapear into the night?
That don't exist at all...
Why does the moon glow red on my face
And dark angels caress my feathered back?
Why must I seek food, emotion, love where there is none?
Why do I see with clouded black eyes
Yet never am decieved by shadows and ashes?
Why does my body hang forgotten in chains, off a bridge, over a muddy, sluggish river?
Why does my body drift back and forth in the slightest breeze that whispers death?
What did I do?
Why is the sight before my eyes, that of a ghost town?
Because that's really all that's left
Ghosts, ghosts, ghosts, and more ghosts...
Poem: The Undead
They howl in the night for what they never had
A grief so soaked into their souls from tears that were shed inside
Though the dark blood ceased flowing through their veins long ago, they still feel
An awful blackness blankets their minds into insanity
That's why they appear so ugly
With scratches and bruises that taint the face
And ghastly grey skin that barely hoilds in slowly crumbling bones
Their graves mean nothing, they are abandoned
Undead souls peer at you from foggy windows, pleading for justice
Their screams tell of murdurs, lost love, madness, and death
They don't even have each other
They don't know the others exist
The light will never shine on them
So, forever they roam by moonlight, pulling madly at their stringy hair
Crooning and screaming their betrayels for all the world to hear...
Poem: Death
I am from the belly of hell and the blackest thoughts of the gods
I am from desperate trys from the victom's family to win
I am from always winning in the end
I am from coming in the night, victom's dead by first light
I am from AIDs, cancer, and all killer diseases
I am from the non existing "after life"
I am from a darkness that stretches on forever, not one chink of light to be seen
I am from being known as inevitable
I am from the proud knowledge that I am forever and a second rolled into one
I am from not caring for the living, but never misleading a soul in the resulting darkness after I've finished my part
I am from being life's enemy, yet not caring at all, since I win every battle
I am from death, for I AM death
I hope you feel positively happy now! LOL! : )))p I crack myself up....or am I just cracked up? Who knows?!

Seems like a great site and forum. Had taught myself on 35mm two years ago, did a year program in NY learning on digital and post processing and there started shooting on a Hasselblad and made it the focus of my personal projects. Now that the program is done I went out and bought my own darling!

What is the deal with this little metal spring thing on the back?
That is quite an OLD back -- maybe 1960's era -- it is a film type reminder thing where you put a torn off bit of the film box or a home-made note so you know what film you have loaded.
Your back is missing a part.

I have found that one of the blanking switches on the left of the steering wheel is for heated seats. The wiring is there behind the blanking plate. I was wondering if the thnder leather seats have the heating element in or if it is just the wildcat that has heated seats? It would be nice to retro fit it!
I also know that the wildcat has a 6 speed gearbox. I was wondering if you can fit these to a Thunder to replace the 5 speed box? 6 speeds would be much better for mpg I think.

Steelers coach Tomlin fined $100K by NFL
Steelers/NFL Videos
The NFL is hoping a $100,000 fine will make Steelers coach Mike Tomlin walk the straight and narrow.
Tomlin on Wednesday drew the second-largest head coaching fine in NFL history for stepping into the path of Baltimore Ravens kick returner Jacoby Jones — intentionally or not, an act that turned a coach into a participant.
Tomlin's misstep didn't affect the outcome of the Steelers' 22-20 loss in Baltimore on Thursday. But the NFL is sending an message that such sideline behavior won't be tolerated, especially by one of the highest-profile coaches in the game.
The Steelers weren't fined in a decision handed down by NFL vice president Ray Anderson, but they could lose 2014 draft picks or have their draft position altered.
"Because the conduct affected a play on the field, a modification or forfeiture of draft choices will be considered after the final order of the 2014 draft has been determined," the league said in a statement.
Several Steelers players were surprised at the severity of the punishment.
"Oh, wow. I guess he got it," linebacker LaMarr Woodley said. "He got fined."
"You knew they would come down on him hard to set an example about the rule," safety Ryan Clark said. "Coach Tomlin's fine with it. He's accepted responsibility for it, and kind of like he said, it's time to move on."
Tomlin already has.
Tomlin on Tuesday called his actions "embarrassing, inexcusable, illegal," but he emphasized he did not intentionally get in Jones' way. He said that if the Steelers' owners believed he did, he probably wouldn't be the Steelers' coach.
His post-punishment comments Wednesday were limited to a 51-word statement, leaving his players to talk for the organization.
"As I stated yesterday, I take full responsibility for my actions, and I apologize for causing negative attention to the Pittsburgh Steelers organization," Tomlin said. "I accept the penalty that I received. I will no longer address this issue as I am preparing for an important game this Sunday against the Miami Dolphins."
The only larger fine given a head coach was $500,000 to Bill Belichick for the New England Patriots' Spygate scandal. Former head coaches Wade Wilson (2007, use of a banned substance) and Mike Tice (2005, scalping Super Bowl tickets) also drew $100,000 fines.
"It definitely sends a message across the league," Ravens receiver Torrey Smith told Baltimore reporters. "He stepped across the line."
The controversy might have been averted had referee Clete Blakeman's crew assessed Tomlin a 15-yard unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty, as the league said it should have done.
The Steelers last lost a draft pick as punishment when they were stripped of a third-round pick in 2001 for paying offensive lineman Will Wolford a $400,000 bonus in violation of the salary cap. They also lost a third-round pick in 1978 for illegally wearing shoulder pads during a spring workout.
The league could choose to take away a lower-round pick or picks or, possibly, force the Steelers to drop to the end of a round — or take no action at all.
Because points allowed and points scored are among the wild-card tiebreaking procedures, the Tomlin play theoretically – if not realistically — could affect the playoff seeding. The Ravens settled for a field goal, rather than the touchdown, following Jones' return.
Defensive end Cam Heyward joked that, from now on, the players will watch Tomlin to make sure he doesn't wander onto or near the field again.
"We're not going to let him get in trouble like that again," Heyward said. "We're a team. It was an unfortunate mistake."

Sceptical of MEC's 'heads will roll' vowComment on this story
Last week Agriculture and Environmental Affairs MEC Meshack Radebe said officials in his department had looted its coffers through corrupt tender deals, theft and maladministration, and it was all detailed in a report that is yet to be made public.
The amount looted from his department was almost R1 billion, Radebe told the Daily News. He promised to release the document to the public before the elections, saying all of the accused would be held to account.
But the DA says it is not holding its breath.
"The MEC's promise is not new," said DA MPL Mark Steele. "In fact, he has been promising to take action for more than a year after the problem was first exposed on his watch in December 2012. In February last year, the MEC stated in the media that "heads will roll". During his budget speech in June last year, he said the same thing. We're still waiting
The MP said the Agriculture Department was in a sorry state and its leadership should take some of the blame.
"The many serious allegations relating to nepotism and irregular supply chain management (procurement) procedures in the department speak to the MEC's fitness for purpose. Oversight and monitoring of grants point to weak financial management systems."
Steele said the department had fine professionals dedicated to agriculture extension, but its leadership "seems to treat it like the province's welcome wagon, with handouts to anyone politically connected".

We're one week away from Christmas and many people are preparing for big holiday trips. Around 60,000 Tennesseans are expected to take to the skies.
With more people traveling, McGhee Tyson Airport reminds travelers to arrive with plenty of time. Arrive one hour early for domestic flights, and two hours for international. If you're traveling with gifts, the airport asks that you keep them unwrapped in your carry-on or check them.
"All of the wonderful wrapping papers, bows with the wires in them to make them look pretty-- all of those will set off security point measures, and you'll have to unwrap them at the checkpoint," said airport spokesperson Becky Huckaby.
The airport also has an iPhone app so travelers can stay up to date on departure and arrival times. Huckaby says the app proved to be helpful during the Thanksgiving travel season.

Sony announces officially the Vaio Z for North America
And "Voila" the Vaio Z is now officially official in North America as well! Despite being available for pre-order starting today at about $2,000 USD, this new Vaio Z keep the same specification as the European and Japanese one and bring an incredible compact PC in a stunning package!
"This new Z laptop builds on the attitude that an ultra-portable can also pack high performance into a slim profile," said Mike Lucas, senior vice president of Networked Technology and Services Division at Sony Electronics. "The Z Series is ideal for performance demanding road warriors who need excellent battery life."
Z Series plus Power Media Dock™: the Perfect Pair
The Z Series incorporates a bold, new concept – the Power Media Dock™ system. This "performance factory" docking station delivers the power of an AMD Radeon™ HD 6650M graphics card with 1GB VRAM, slot loading optical drive, three USB ports (1 x 3.0 and 2 x 2.0), HDMI® and VGA ports. When paired with the supplied dock, the Z Series transforms into the ultimate workstation and can even support up to four full HD displays (including the system LCD).
High Performance; Low Footprint
Thanks to its engineering design elements, the new Z Series laptop is lighter than its predecessor by half a pound without the Power Media Dock.. The core is comprised of a carbon fiber matrix – the same material used to build Formula 1 race cars – to add flexibility and durability without adding extra weight. A seamless piece of solid aluminum forms the keyboard and palm rest deck for an elegant look and feel. The Z Series is available in three color options: carbon black, carbon indigo, and premium carbon black.
The Z Series laptop is fully flat, abandoning protruding ports, unnecessary seams and bulky batteries for a slim profile that delivers up to 8 hours of battery life. Users looking for even more flexibility can purchase an optional large-capacity sheet battery that attaches flush to the bottom of the computer and extends the battery life to up to 16 hours. The thin profile doesn't mean the VAIO Z Series makes any compromises in performance. Second generation standard voltage Intel Core i5 and i7 processors with Intel Turbo Boost with clock speeds of up to 3.40 GHz power the new Z Series, while dual-channel solid state drives with RAID technology (select models) ensure quick boots, fast application launches, and ample durable storage.
Security is also enhanced with Symantec VIP. This service creates a hardware-based number computed between the PC itself and participating web sites that require heightened security like online banking. Access to these sites is only granted when these numbers match, and the number changes every 30 seconds, helping keep private information safe.
Select models feature mobility solutions including integrated Mobile Broadband, which offers a secure connection through carriers such as AT&T and Sprint. Additionally, the Z Series features Sony's exclusive Share My Connection™ technology, which turns the laptop into a mobile hotspot for up to five PCs or Wi-Fi enabled devices such as smart phones, cameras or media players.
Multimedia Monster
Sony brought its prowess in developing HD televisions to the Z Series' LED backlit displays, available in1920x1080 and 1600×900 resolution levels. The display's 16:9 aspect ratio is ideal for viewing Blu-ray Disc™ movies (select models) with the accompanying Power Media Dock™ system. The display also features anti-glare coating and deep, rich colors for more true-to-life images, and less light reflection.
With new built-in Intel Wireless Display Technology, the Z Series can send movies, videos and photos stored on its drives or home network to a television in full 1080p HD and 5.1 surround sound (TV adapter required and sold separately).
Three capacitive touch buttons provide quick access to software. Users can launch directly into Sony's own Media Gallery™ software by pushing the designated VAIO button on the keyboard and create high-quality home movies. The ASSIST links directly to VAIO Care™ software to help maintain and troubleshoot any issues, and WEB accesses to the internet without a full boot up into Windows®.
The VAIO Z Series comes equipped with the latest select Windows® 7 operating systems. The laptops will retail for about $2,000 and will be available for presale at www.sony.com/pr/zseries today.

Now with over 10 plays under her belt and a lifetime in theatre, Canadian playwright Joan MacLeod has returned to The Banff Centre to revisit and remount her first opera libretto: The Secret Garden.
"Because I wasn't a playwright when I wrote the libretto the first time around - my background was in poetry - I didn't have such a strong understanding of dramatic structure as I do now," says MacLeod, who originally wrote the libretto in 1985. "This version has been updated: we're being more specific about the time it takes place in, and we're balancing out the first and second acts, since originally the first act was way longer and way stronger."
In 1985, MacLeod met with composer Stephen McNeff in a music practice hut at The Banff Centre, and together they spent 4 days brainstorming for the opera. "We had recipe cards, and we broke the novel into scenes that we thought were dramatically interesting, then we posted them all over the wall and tried to find a shape," explains MacLeod. "Then we went our separate ways, and I just jumped in blind, with no experience, and wrote it. Afterwards, I felt like I could rhyme anything !"
It was MacLeod's first professional gig, directed by Kelly Robinson, and the opera went on to win a Dora award for Best Musical six months later. "Stephen, Kelly, and I were all just starting out in our careers then. Over 25 years later, it's a really special experience to come together in Banff, and revisit the opera once more."

DATE OF ISSUE: September 1, 1997
DATE OF REVIEW: August 6, 2009
July 1, 2001
The purpose of this circular is to inform you of procedures that will be followed by the Department of Education's School Services Unit when investigating alleged violations of 24 P.S. §1-111.
ACT 114 of 2006 amended the Pennsylvania Public School Code, Section 1-111 to require all prospective employees of public and private schools, the schools' contractors, and student teachers to obtain both state and federal background checks prior to school employment or contracting when the employee or contractor will work in a position in which they will have direct contact with children.
The following background checks are required under the Act and the School Code: 1. PA State Police Criminal History; 2. Department of Public Welfare Child Abuse History; and, 3. Federal Criminal History (FBI) Report.
School administrators are required to review the backgrounds check reports and determine whether applicants/contractors are barred from positions in which they will have contact with children, prior to hiring the applicant or prior to contracting. In addition, school administrators must make copies and keep these reports on file for those who are hired. The Act also requires student teachers to obtain these background checks prior to their field experience, and requires that higher education administrators review the background check reports, determine whether student teachers are permitted to participate in their field experience, and make copies of these reports and keep the reports in their files. These requirements became effective April 1, 2007.
Section 1-111 of the Public School Code of 1949, amended by Act 114 of 2006 authorizes the Department of Education "to determine violators of this section and may, following a hearing, assess a civil penalty not to exceed two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500)." An administrator, or other person responsible for employment decisions in a school or a higher education administrator responsible for decisions on student teachers, who willfully fails to comply with the provisions of this section commits a violation of the act and is subject to a civil penalty.
Upon receipt of a complaint or allegation, staff in the School Services Unit will review the submitted information to determine whether an investigation is necessary. Each complaint will be reviewed and assessed on a case-by-case basis. Staff in the Division of Nonpublic and Private School Services will participate, when appropriate. The investigations will include the following activities:
1. Inform the school or higher education institution of the complaint or allegation.
2. Request information from the school or higher education institution to document hiring/placement dates and required background check reports.
3. If necessary, conduct on-site visit to retrieve information.
4. Review the information to determine whether the required background check reports were obtained prior to hiring, contracting or authorizing a student teacher to begin their field experience.
5. A letter which notes the findings will be sent to the school and a letter will be sent to the individual who filed the complaint or made the allegation.
6. If no violation is found, that will be noted in the letter.
7. If a possible violation is found, the letter will indicate the specific violation(s), and if appropriate, will state what the school must do to correct the problem. The letter will also note whether it was determined that there was a willful violation of Sec. 1-111. The letter may be sent via U.S. Mail, email or fax.
8. The school will be given the opportunity to respond to the findings.
9. If appropriate, the Department will issue, by mail with return receipt requested, an Order to Show Cause to the alleged violator who will be permitted to respond.
10. If necessary, a hearing will be conducted by a hearing officer.
11. The Secretary of Education will render a decision.
12. An appeal may be made.

Chuck Pagano/Bruce Arians was a nice change of pace this past season.
I'd say the same about Jim Caldwell, but the man was a figurehead, and as a Colts fan, I knew that from the day he was hired. The fact that he took that team to the Super Bowl all while standing on the sidelines with that blank look on his face just told me he didn't know what he was doing. Peyton Manning liked him, but being liked by the players isn't a necessarily a recipe for success.
Arians' name is already being thrown out there as a replacement for some fired coaches.
Depending on how much of Indy's success this year was him and how much was him executing Pagano's plan will play out I suppose.

Hercules Offshore signs $420M contract with Maersk for newbuild jackup rig [View news story]May 20, 2014. 11:15 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
Hercules Offshore Delivers Double-Digit Revenue Growth Of 34.7%, Beats Analyst Estimates [View article]
As far as how low the stock can go..... I wrote a financial paper titled P.O.W.D.E.R. - Point of Widespread Diminished Earnings and Returns. It is a financial model designed for shorts and longs alike. Regardless of the asset class the stock will reach a point to where it is no longer profitable to be short/long and the risk aversion trade will kick in. So, at what point does it become financially stupid - for lack of a better term to remain short/long? That is not really a point we can choose, but Chaos Theory in Finance gives you an equation to help you figure it out. It is usually when sentiment becomes so negative that a buy in cannot be contained.
That point is usually reached when, in the case of Hercules, the Accumulation/Distribution reverses trend and continues to trend upwards against a falling stock price, regardless of buy/sell ratios. Hercules reversed the negative trend Thursday, February 6th at 9:46AM and has continued to trend upwards through close of market today. A pivot point was reached on Accumulation before a pivot occurred on the actual price per share, so we got a little pop into the close, and the volume was OK but not monumental. There is also a trend line in play that the equity keeps hitting on the upside, which is proving to be beneficial for short sellers right now, however if you pull a 5 year chart the overall trend is still up and draw a trend line from the low in 2009 to the low today, the equity found support at that trend line.
There is also a dinosaur trade happening. This is usually a cyclical slow time for drillers in general, so shorts and analyst jumped on a short wagon and went a little nuts. The only problem is Hercules bucked that trend this go around, and has confused the cycle and actually posted some monster numbers of profitability, and now the analyst are wrong and the short position is wrong (even though shorts are making money right now). So now they are trying to make themselves right by continuing to be wrong.
The real fun happens when new short sellers come in and existing shorts cover by buying fresh short sales and the stock starts to move up and people start scratching their heads trying to figure out how the short position is getting bigger, while the stock continues to climb on the risk aversion trade. That's when I get excited and this usually rarely occurs unless an equity has a low float and keeps getting dinged with regSHO violations. (I trust you understand that paragraph). (Chaos Theory kicks in).
So, look, I spent more time here than I thought I would, especially with the weekend here, but don't sweat it. The GoM is not going anywhere. Hercules is the dominant player, with higher day rates, higher utilization rates, they are dipping into Deep Water and International and they keep beating EPS and Revenue estimates.
I could care less about the age of the fleet. My Dad's ping putter still works great and anyone that has ever roughnecked or been a tool pusher knows exactly what I mean. You really need to grow up around oil to understand it. And as far as the food critics are concerned, I doubt any of them have ever walked through the front door of Hercules's Corporate HQ or ever been on a rig.
The second biggest threats to the short position now, they have made the company a very attractive take over target.

I think you mean with the author? The point the "author" should have really focused on is DRYS is NOT a shareholder friendly company and neither George or any of his "so called" managers ever have been.
Heck, he even made fun of the US exchanges and investors a few years ago, the video is on YouTube TM somewhere. I think it was on his first shipping company that went bankrupt a few decades ago. I have been in the markets a very long time, so I am not looking this up, if you want to research it feel free.
So, to side with the "author" management's overall view of shareholders and dilution is a non-event for them, however they are going to fall over backwards into an upswing in the BDI and Drilling arena which in the long run should make the current at the market equity dilution a non-event. That being typed, there is limited upside for the total market-cap of DRYS and though I am long shares well below the current market price I would be surprised to see two (2) billion in market cap anytime soon, until debt and dilution issues are better under control. You can't ignore the book value at $6.98 - or the forecast of 189.7 % EPS growth for 2014. Just on fundamentals they are clearing the choppy seas, on technical, they are finishing a Fibonacci ARC trace and could potentially clear 4.00 if they break the pivot at $3.48. Personally, I am keeping my eye on that A/D Chart on the 100/5 day averages. That is a significant upswing in institutional buying.
If I start to go into Ocean Rig, I might as well scribe and article.

As I look down, shaking my head laughing, there is only one point that is even credible in this article.
It is quite a shame that any opinion can be construed as journalism with any merit these days. And as far as Yahoo! finance data is concerned, it is delayed and outdated at best.
The article also failed to mention that institutional accumulation has increased by 6 million shares in the last 5 trading sessions alone.

Antares Delivers Then Hits A Hard Bump In The Road [View article]
It is no secret there is an open SEC investigation against two firms that are short in the millions of shares against their clients.
They are the same two firms that recently begged Chicago to get options trading so they can attempt to hedge, but no one is biting on the options.
The short and distort campaign is over. 11 million short with another 3 million short in dark pools and about another 1.5 million on exempt waivers at NASDAQ.

I find it quite difficult to understand how the NCAA can continue to hide their heads in the sand in cases such as Cam Newton's. The NCAA cleared him to play in the SEC title game because it found no evidence that he or Auburn knew anything about Cecil Newton's pay-for-place scheme. Do Cam and the people at Auburn suffer from amnesia? How gullible does the NCAA think we are? As in a number of criminal cases, the old expression follow the money comes into play, and I firmly believe that this is the last thing the NCAA wants to do.
Cecil Newton didn't show at Saturday night's Heisman Trophy ceremony because, as stated in The C-J, his presence could rob Cam and the event of a sacred moment. Horse manure! He didn't want to field answers to any questions involving proposed payments for Cam's services.
Today our major colleges and universities are conducting two distinctively different businesses: the first, a nonprofit business to prepare our young people for rewarding careers in life, and second, profit-making football and basketball programs that pay enormous salaries to coaches (many in excess of department heads in the school) and payments to players other than books, tuition, housing and meals that are covered up and cannot be proven.

Active outreach
With all the controversy surrounding the Passport Health Plan, I thought I would write from another perspective. While I have no knowledge of the issues mentioned in the audit, what I can speak to is my participation on the PAD Advisory Council. This council is a community-based group of individuals who work with Passport on issues related to its Medicare Advantage program, geared to older adults and individuals with dual diagnoses.
They make a real effort to include a wide range of groups and advisers in this, and take feedback about service quite seriously. I have been impressed with their success in working with specific populations, such as those with COPD (lung and breathing issues) and conditions related to heart disease and diabetes. They do active outreach to such individuals, and work creatively to help them effectively manage their illnesses. They have a strong ability to provide translation services and are active in many community outreach events. I would hope that we all take these actions into account.

Act of genocide
I have numerous concerns about the Noah's Ark themed amusement park, several of which I have not heard mentioned.
On top of the Noah's Ark tale being thoroughly disproven by geology and every other branch of earth science, there is something quite terrible at the heart of the story. The story details what would have to be the greatest single act of genocide in human history. If it were true, every single man, woman and child on earth died during those 40 days and nights with the exception of Noah and his family. Even the acts of Hitler and Pol Pot pale in comparison.
Is this really the kind of story to turn into a theme park for children? If they wish to do so, have them use their own money. I strongly oppose taxpayer support for this park.

Blissful ignorance
I find it sadly ironic that our governor can, out of one side of his mouth, claim to support improved education for Kentuckians and, out of the other, offer tax incentives to the execrable creationist theme park proposed for Northern Kentucky. Maybe ignorance actually is bliss. That seems to be the case in the Bluegrass State. We can be proud to have outstripped Kansas as the most backward state in the union.

Deserving respect
I echo the comments of the letter-writer from the Sunday Forum. I served in the military and went to combat with two guys in our company who were gay, and everyone knew it. What mattered most was their courage, their aim and the esprit de corps required for combat.
It seems to me that the don't ask, don't tell crap hinders, even discriminates against, who would serve, based on sexual orientation. Isn't this illegal in the marketplace? Can a company refuse to hire or terminate an existing employee based on sexual preference? Is that legal? Better gay than a draftee, or even worse a pacifist. Any person who is willing to put on the uniform of this country deserves our respect and a little privacy.
Louisville 40258
Changing excuses
First, African Americans couldn't serve their country because back then they were considered to be lesser human beings. Next, women couldn't serve because it was unsanitary. Against how many more groups of people can we unfairly discriminate?
If we could end don't ask, don't tell, the only thing that would change would be that gays no longer have to hide who they truly are. Would that be such a horrible thing?
Let them serve and let them marry. In the words of Thomas Jefferson (while originally said in reference to religious freedom, I feel it also applies here): It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

FILE - In this Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2011 file photo, U.S. Gen. John Allen, then top commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, speaks during a news conference in Kabul, Afghanistan. Allen is under investigation for thousands of alleged "inappropriate communications" he had with a Florida socialite also involved in the David Petraeus case. Nearly two dozen generals have commanded troops from the United States and the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force, since the American invasion in late 2001. While some analysts say fresh eyes are important, others wonder if the revolving door command has hurt U.S. continuity with critical Afghan partners. (AP Photo/Musadeq Sadeq, File)

Taking the seats of a six-car line-up of three C-Types and three XK120's will be six-times Olympic cycling champion Sir Chris Hoy, global supermodel David Gandy, Le Mans 24 Hours race winner Andy Wallace, 20th Century Fox boss Jim Gianopulos, German actress Hannah Herzsprung, Italian Salvatore Ferragamo Jr., fashion icon Yasmin Le Bon and Michael Quinn, the grandson of Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons.
This group of classic-car enthusiasts will be led by Jaguar's multiple classic race winner Alex Buncombe and motoring journalist Chris Harris, who will drive the 1600km tour in a C-Type once owned by former Formula 1 champion Juan Manuel Fangio.
The Mille Miglia is the pinnacle of classic motorsport, and the 1952 race saw disc brakes being used in competion for the first time on a C-Type crewed by Jaguar's then chief development engineer Norman Dewis and Formula One driver Stirling Moss.
Dewis was with some of the 2013 team at the Goodwood circuit this week for a driver training session - check out the video below.

Hi Ho, and welcome to my personal web site.
Lance Scoular, The Savvy Navigator, here.
You are at the right place if you're looking for some direction in the areas of International Trade and Transport, Social Networking, Social Media Marketing or Social Media Learning.
With over 40 years as a practitioner and facilitator in the International Trade and Transport sector, and initially a social media sceptic, I was dismissive of LinkedIn and Facebook invitations I received from students and clients in early 2008.
In August '08 I discovered the possibilities of these platforms for business, and in January 2009 I had my "aha moment," and realised the enormous potential of building strategic social media networks for business.
Since that time, even though I see myself as a "virtual luddite," I have developed, tested and implemented various "common sense strategies" not only for myself, but also for a select group of professionals in PR, Marketing, Media and the Arts.
Key Directions is the name of my business and as our motto, I have adopted the Chinese proverb, "Unless we change our directions, we are likely to end up where we are headed."
If you're seeking direction for the future in your business or career, I trust that I can assist you in that endeavour.
Check the various items on the menu to the left of your screen.
If you you would like to get in touch with me go to my contact page.
Best regards and Godspeed,
Lance Scoular, The Savvy Navigator

Who: Bijou Phillips
What: California dreamin' in the late '90s
The daughter of The Mamas & the Pappas frontman John Phillips, Bijou was a wild child back in the day. All the sex, drugs and rock and roll won over Leo in the mid-'90s, when he reportedly saw her dancing at Bowery Bar, and called writer/director James Toback, and got her role in "Black and White." Years later, he cashed in on the favor she owed him and they dated.

Our company has its roots on a farm outside the Village of Egg Harbor, Wisconsin, where in 1952 our founder, botanist and horticulturist Stephen Follett, began production of his newly developed liquid plant food concentrate Follett's Watch Us Grow®.
The previous decade, we experimented with various compounds of fertilizers, trace elements and other organic and inorganic materials to find a formula that would foster healthier and better plant growth. Basing our studies on the ancient idea of foliar feeding; the theory that plants can absorb nutrients through leaves, branches, stems, buds, fruits and even flowers as well as its root system. After years of trial and error, Mr. Follett perfected his gentle 8-8-8 liquid formula . . . a 256 to 1 concentrate of three major elements (nitrogen, phosphorus and potash) and five micronutrients (boron, copper, iron, manganese and zinc) plus his proprietary compound Fol-Ade® which contains eight ingredients that react on the elemental plant foods in the formula.
Since Stephen Follett's death in 1992 at the age of 81, Mr. Follett's grandson Phil Faustini has run the 50 year old family business. Few things have changed over the years. We're still located on a farm a few miles from where the company started and the Watch Us Grow formula remains the same. We just don't see any reason to tamper with something that works so darn well on everything — flowers, shrubs, trees, grasses, vegetables, fruits and house plants. Mr. Follett, known for his sense of humor, jokingly said in his later years, "why it works so well is my little secret, but I think plants grow up to get away from the stuff." He did share his secret but only with his family. We're glad he did. You will be, too.

(USA Today) -- Federal crash investigators revealed Wednesday that the pilot flying Asiana Airlines flight 214 told them that he was temporarily blinded by a bright light when 500 feet above the ground.
"We need to understand exactly what that is," Hersman said. "It was a temporary issue."
Federal crash Investigators previously said that pilots recognized they were too low and not lined up precisely with the runway while still 500 feet from the ground. At 500 feet, pilots recognized that they were low as the Boeing 777 was going 134 knots and was 34 seconds from impact. They continued to make adjustments until hitting the seawall at the end of the runway at San Francisco International Airport.
Slideshow: Boeing 777 crashes while landing in San Francisco
Evacuation of the plane didn't begin immediately. Airlines must certify that they can evacuate fully loaded planes within 90 seconds. But in this case, a pilot told flight attendants not to begin the evacuation immediately when the plane came to rest.
But after about 90 seconds, a flight attendant near the second door reported seeing fire outside a window in the middle of the plane. He relayed that information to the cockpit and then the evacuation began.
Hersman said evacuations don't always begin immediately. But she said once the crew was aware of the fire, evacuations began.
"We need to understand what they were thinking," Hersman said.
Rescue trucks arrived within two minutes and began fighting the fire outside the plane within three minutes. Investigators found the right engine leaked oil where part of the fire was located.
Two flight attendants were pinned by evacuation slides that inflated inside the cabin, at the first and second doors from the front on the right side of the plane, Hersman said. One broke her lower leg, Hersman said.
Survivor: Crew announced plane had landed safely
"Those flight attendants needed assistance to get out from underneath those slides," Hersman said. "They couldn't do it alone."
A total of three flight attendants were ejected from the plane after the tail was torn off, Hersman said. She had said Tuesday that at least two flight attendants were ejected. All three remain hospitalized and haven't been interviewed by investigators.
The flight also marked the first time that Lee Gang Guk had flown with Lee Jeong-Min, a trainer making his first trip as an instructor pilot.
"The question is why did it land short," said Kees Rietsema, a dean at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. "Obviously the captain is responsible, and in this case it's the instructor in the right seat who is responsible."
Investigators are now examining the working relationship of the two, and whether junior officers were comfortable challenging their managers, and whether senior pilots will welcome that feedback, Hersman said.
"That's what the airline needs to do, be responsible so that in the cockpit you're matching the best people, especially when you're introducing someone to a new aircraft," NTSB Chairman James Hall said.

Man issued 2 summonses after bringing gun to RIC
A Disputanta, Va. man was cited at Richmond International Airport Oct. 8 after it was discovered that he had a .25-caliber handgun in his carry-on bag. TSA officers detected the gun as the man's carry-on baggage passed through the checkpoint metal detector.
TSA officials contacted the Capital Regional Airport Commission Police, who regularly patrol the airport. The police responded, confiscated the weapon and issued two summonses to the man related to state weapons charges. There was no impact to airport operations. The man, who was ticketed to fly to Atlanta, was able to continue on his flight.
Some weapons are permitted to be transported in checked baggage if properly packaged, but passengers should check with the airlines for proper procedures as well as checking into local laws before doing so.
Passengers can review the prohibited items list on the TSA homepage or they can download the free MyTSA application from the TSA homepage. The TSA web site and the MyTSA app have a "Can I Bring?" feature that allows users to type in items they plan to bring on a trip to get an explanation of TSA's security policies for the item, including whether the item can be taken in carry-on luggage through the security checkpoint, packed in checked baggage, both, or neither. The mobile app is available to download for free at http://www.tsa.gov/mobile.

Two of the longest streaks in Region 9 basketball clashed as Hurricane hosted Pine View Friday night.
The Panthers looked to increase their running total of wins to six, while the Tigers attempted to snap out of a five-game funk. Kody Wilstead helped to break the game open in the second, and Pine View cruised to a 69-48 win, keeping both streaks intact.

With the Dow Jones industrial average closing above 15,000 for the first time, the economy is looking buoyant this spring. Unfortunately, the economic indicator most people care about - the size of their paychecks - is still stuck in the winter doldrums. Adjusted for inflation, USA Today reported recently, the average worker is making less now than in 2009.
Adding to the pain, a new study out of the Brookings Institution debunks the folk wisdom that more money just means more problems.
This seemed to contradict a well-publicized 2010 study claiming money doesn't make people happier. So can ...

Boy… it has been an emotional week. First we learned that my cousin, Mark was not going to make it home anymore. We visited him in the hospital, he shared with us that he had no regrets, he was right with the Lord, and it was nearing time for him to go, he was plum tuckered out.
Then we learned that a friend of ours by the name of Alice had died. She was a wonderful lady, with a great love of her family and her dogs. She was a strong woman with a strong faith. She died from what they call Stevens-Johnson Syndrome or TEN (Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis) this is very rare and affects only one person in a million, usually caused by a severe allergic reaction to a medication. Her husband John, is going to be so lonely..they were married 51 years.
Far Guy was especially distressed to learn that Alice had Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. It is a side effect that sometimes appears in people with Trigeminal Neuralgia that take Tegretol. So that is pretty scary for both of us.
My cousin Mark had struggled for years with "resistant" infections in his back, he spent large blocks of time in the hospital. Mark was a Paraplegic, he was injured in a snowmobile accident when he was in his late teens. He was so severely injured that the Doctors thought he might not live way back then. But live he did..he loved to Hunt and Fish. Yesterday Mark died, I could only smile among my tears when I thought of him running into heaven..he was only 49 years old.
Me and Mark in 1959
I remember when Mark was born, I used to babysit for him… and now I just feel old, when relatives that are younger than you die, I guess that's how you are supposed to feel..OLD..but thankful for everyday we have left here on this earth. Just more thankful some days than others:)

I was having a discussion with a friend earlier this week about what falls under the category of "good music," and what should get tossed into the garbage category of "bad music." As I do with most discussions, I wanted to see its full scale, so I decided to play devil's advocate just to get his response.
It's no secret that when the older generations look down upon our current musical artist choices they can't help but shake their head in shame. It's rather easy to discredit the majority of famous music stars currently soaking up the spotlight and claim their fame being due to an industrialized music industry based on simple lyrics with catchy beats. I thought I was supposed to be playing devil's advocate?
My friend made valid points of how much of today's musical "classics" are made up a majority of pop songs all containing the same underlying messages of teenage infatuation and heartbreak. For the most part I would have to agree with this. Essentially they tell the same story with a different melody and the radios replay it until the chorus line is ingrained into the fabrics of our being. Has our standards for music gone down? My friend seems to think so and this led him to claim that the majority of new mainstream music is "bad music."
I could see the point he was making but I guess it comes down to how I personally define good music. I judge music based on the emotional response it can bring to an individual. Obviously music preference is a completely biased area so I tried to look at it with an open mind. With that being said, the newest One Direction songs may not resonate with my liking but I think it would be wrong to classify it as being bad music. Let's be honest, for millions of teenage girls this band connects on an extremely intimate level and in some cases, or perhaps in many, can bring these girls to the point of tears. That type of powerful response shouldn't be ignored and led me to not judge it as bad music.
If music can connect with someone on a personal level in a way that grants them some sort emotional understanding, I see no reason to judge it as bad music. All music is good in its own unique way!

The Farming Game
9:01 AM, May 30, 2013 • By GEOFFREY NORMAN
The oldest and most durable of all Washington handouts is the agricultural subsidy. Without it, of course, farm families would be forced off the land, food prices would rise, and all manner of woe would be the nation's lot.
The thing is, of course, a trough where the fat hogs crowd and slop. As Diane Katz writes in an absolutely essential Heritage report, the worthies who have received farm subsidies in the recent past include: former-President Jimmy Carter ($272,288), current Republican senator Charles Grassley ($955,192), and ... well, what do you know, serving Agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack ($82,874).
Washington protests, always, that it has reduced spending ruthlessly and there is no more fat to be cut.
To which one asks ... what about these porkers?
