About a dozen paddlers set out on Splitrock Reservoir in Rockaway Township on canoes or kayaks to take in the fall foliage Oct. 16 on an excursion organized by the Morris County Park Commission. The average time for peak fall color in New Jersey is Oct. 19 to 29. / Photos by Bob Karp/Staff Photographer
■Splitrock Reservior can be accessed by car on Split Rock Road, a dirt road. Motor boats are prohibited, but row boats, canoes, and kayaks are permitted.
■Don�t have a boat? There is also a hiking trail around the Reservoir that leads up nearby Green Pond Mountain.
■For more information on Morris County Park Commission events, visit Morrisparks.net.
ROCKAWAY TWP. — The one thing you don�t do in a canoe is stand up.
That was the only advice I got before heading onto the Splitrock Reservoir in Rockaway Township, a 625-acre preserve that borders Rockaway Township and Kinnelon, for a two-hour canoe paddle last week.
While it may have seemed like an obvious suggestion � for someone who has fallen into more water than he�d like to admit, including fishing piers and mini golf moats � it was greatly appreciated.
Apple and pumpkin picking are great, and a well-timed hike is fantastic, but if you can�t find a way to spend an hour on the water as the crisp autumn air brings out the colors in the trees, you�re missing out on a premiere Morris County fall experience.
Morris County Park Commission senior naturalists Douglas Vorolieff and Mindy Schmitt led the Splitrock excursion � an excited group of about a dozen paddlers � last Wednesday afternoon.
Peak leaf color
The northeastern United States has one of the best fall color displays worldwide and late October has offered ideal conditions for peak leaf color � cool nights, and sunny and dry days � which is why Vorolieff decided to lead the fall foliage canoe paddle.
�Fall is my favorite time of year to paddle and be outdoors in general because of the foliage, cool weather, and less insects than the summer,� Vorolieff said. �Paddling is a great way to take in all that fall has to offer.�
He said the Park Commission leads public paddles about half a dozen times throughout the year, including summer camps, though this will likely be the last public one until spring. Wednesday�s ride was geared toward adults and teens, with the goal to get the public interested in canoeing for next season.
A hidden gem
Before I even got on the water one thing was clear. I had missed out on a large piece of my own backyard. All the times I headed west to the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area to hike or boat, I never realized huge bodies of water like Splitrock or the nearby Rockaway River are located right down the road.
Vorolieff said while the Rockaway River, which runs through Tourne Park in Boonton, is a fun canoe and kayak ride, it�s a bit more unpredictable than the lake at Splitrock Reservior.
�Splitrock is good for beginners, more easily navigable,� he said.
Peter Haarklou, 19, of Randolph helped the group get in and out of the water, and spent much of the trip paddling circles around the group.
A volunteer studying environmental science at the County College of Morris, while he was new to Spiltrock, he was clearly at home, aiding anyone who fell behind and making owl and loon calls as he kayaked.
�I�m friends with Douglas, and it sounded like a good idea to come out,� said Haarklou. �Love canoeing and kayaking and it�s a good way to appreciate the fall.�
Giovanna Baratto, 45, of Madison, agreed. The trip was her second time on a Park Commission group paddle, though her first at Splitrock, and she was excited to go back on the water.
Marlena DeFillipps, 60, of Parsippany, attended the paddle because of her previous experience with the group navigating the Rockaway River.
�I enjoyed it back in Denville and thought this seemed like a great way to do it again,� DeFilipps said . �I love being outside with nature and with friends. It�s fun. New Jersey is so beautiful and a lot of people don�t realize it.�
Ron Luna, volunteer supervisor for the Pyramid Mountain trails, joined the ride in his custom-built 18-foot kayak, one of two he�s made himself.
�It�s a nice experience with the water this calm,� Luna said, gliding on the water. �Nobody wants to join me as often as I would like to kayak, and I don�t like to go by myself.�
He hoped to get my brother to join him when he visits soon.
'It's just really beautiful'
Splitrock Reservoir is too large a place to navigate entirely before sunset, so we paddled about half of it, turning back around a large island in the middle.
�That island is where we will drop everyone off and have a surprise �Survivor� competition,� Schmitt joked, though I was game for the challenge on the off-chance she was serious.
Leaving my canoe partner Schmitt to do much of the rowing as I jotted notes, I was told by Vorolieff to get my work done before we reached the island because I�d be handling most of the rowing on the way back. He was kidding, but I felt guilty and made sure to do put down the notepad for the way back.
Schmitt enjoyed her time on the water.
�It�s fun because it�s just paddling, no instruction. It�s just really beautiful,� she said. Schmitt takes campers on the water in the summer. �In the summer it�s crazy on the water here. People travel up to two hours to use the water.�
As we paddled around the island, I could hear the hard knock of woodpeckers busy on trees along the shoreline, and some ducks joined us as we hit a narrow stretch of water.
We also paddled past some fishermen, and I couldn�t help but wonder how the canoe caravan was disturbing the fish for them.
Up close with nature
The group spotted a kingfisher bird, with regal blue feathers and a white chest, making its distinct call as it dove in and out of the water trying to catch its dinner.
Schmitt identified the bird by the call before we spotted it. �It helps to be doing this for years,� she said. �When I first started, I was like, �I don�t know, it�s chirping,� but you get to know them all over time.�
The group met at the shore of the boat launch at about 4 p.m. and took off into the water soon after. The sun hid behind the clouds on the brisk afternoon. All I asked for was no rain, and I got my wish.
We exited the water as the moon came out, the perfect way to cap off a peaceful afternoon.
And for anyone wondering, for once, I managed to stay dry.

Publisher's tan cloth, corners bumped, in handsome illustrated dust-jacket, sunned and with a small chip / short tear or two. A very nice book! (22344)
This copy in the first of two bindings, with some sources hinting that the second indicates a remainder.
On the precedence of bindings, see Ahearn & Ahearn, Collected Books. First of two bindings, this being full off-white cloth. A notoriously very fragile book, this copy with only the brittle endpapers across the hinges (inside) cracked, not the hinges themselves; two short tears (one repaired) to front free endpaper. Without the dust jacket. A very good copy. (33391)
Paperback, in publisher's printed paper wrappers; very minor shelf wear to edges and spine. (22237)
Publisher's blue-grey cloth, front cover with gilt-stamped title and LEC compass device, spine with gilt-stamped title. Slipcase lacking. Clean and fresh. (30010)
Publisher's color-printed paper wrappers, spine chewed and overall with soiling; back cover with tear from upper edge into text without impairment to reading. Paper age-toned; some text pages ragged at edges, again, without harm to reading. (26935)
Publisher's color-printed paper wrappers; spine and edges chewed with overall light soiling. Paper age-toned and actually rather good/strong, of its sort. (26936)
Signed binding: Publisher's quarter blue cloth and light blue paper–covered sides, front cover with black-stamped title and larkspur decoration, spine with gilt-stamped title and larkspur. The design is signed "C.S." (unidentified, but not the square letters of C.H. Simonds).
Binding as above, paper split at corners; spine extremities slightly rubbed. Pages faintly age-toned with occasional tiny spots of light foxing, mostly quite clean. (28589)
The novel wasmade into a film in 1914 by the Famous Players Film Company and released just two months before the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria.
Binding: Publisher's blue cloth, front cover with a woods vignette stamped in orange, brown, green, and white; spine with tree vignette. Signed binding: Front panel with initials R.R. (Rome K. Richardson) between the design and the author's name; the initials are somewhat difficult to make out, but Richardson's records confirm that this binding was indeed his work.
Binding as above, extremities lightly rubbed, spine very slightly dimmed, small nick to front joint; front hinge (inside) tender but holding. Pages clean. A fun read, of interest for its signed binding, its Underwood illustrations, and its perspective on America's role in global politics of the early 20th century. (35050)
Binding: Publisher's olive-brown vermiform cloth of Krupp's style Mis1, spine with gilt-stamped series and individual title.
Sabin 32058. On binding: Krupp, Bookcloth in England and America, 1823--50, Mis1. Binding as above, head of spine chipped, front joint with small spot of insect damage. Ex–social club library: 19th-century bookplate and small call-number ticket on front pastedown, title-page pressure-stamped, no other markings. First map creased, outer edge slightly tattered. Pages age-toned. A nice copy. (26418)
Publisher's printed paper wrappers, front wrapper with affixed color-printed illustration; corners and edges rubbed, wrappers sunned and lightly soiled, front wrapper with small area of discoloration from now-absent label. Ex–social club library with its attractive bookplate, back inside wrapper with charge-slip, inked numeral in lower margin of preface, no other markings. Pages clean; a few corners bumped. (27469)
This volume for connoisseurs offers two distinct parts: first, the text printed and all the illustrations present as fully colored, delicately washed in shades of pink, blue, purple, grey, white, and earth tones; and second, a set of the illustrations in proofs uncolored and without text. Most of the illustrations in both suites areinitialed by Caruchet.
Jean Emmanuel Charles Nodier (1780–1844) was a French author and librarian, appointed to the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal in 1824. His literary stylemuch influenced the Romantics, including Victor Hugo and Alfred de Musset. This legend, first published in La Revue de Paris (1838), is representative of his fantastical oeuvre. It was later adapted into a French opera (Béatrice, 1914) and a film (1923).
Signed Binding: Crushed half milk chocolate morocco over marbled paper boards signed "V. Champs," gilt author, title, and date to spine; patterned marbled endpapers (different from the covers). Original gilt and hand-colored stiff cream wrappers bound in, showing Béatrix full-figure on the front, her hands extended outward beneath the gilt title.
Provenance: An initialed ink inscription beneath the Justification du tirage states this copy was "Offert à Madame Conquet" — who must have been related toM.L. Conquet, "the great Paris publisher of works of the romantic school," whose publications were famous for being very limited editions and for the "high artistic quality of their illustrations" ("Books and Authors," The New York Times, 26 March 1898).
Carteret, V, 141; Vicaire, VI, 179. Binding as above. One small nick on the front leather near the spine, and board extremities (paper and leather) lightly rubbed. The publisher's authentication embossed stamp below the limitation statement. Text clean, unblemished. Simply, excellent. (30135)
Publisher's cloth. Near fine copy, with a near fine dust jacket.

What better way to prove your commitment to customer service than to send your back office, the people who do the hands-on work, off to visit customers to complement your sales force? Shepard Poorman Communications Corp., a $32-million printing company in Indianapolis, routinely sends its typesetters out to meet the editors whose manuscripts they work with daily.
Why bother? "They may not be slick salespeople, but they can solve problems for customers who didn't even know the problems existed," says vice-president for quality Don Curtis. He doesn't keep numbers on how the added investment in travel has paid off, but says customers are grateful, operations are more efficient, and product quality has improved.

HPRC Blog
Welcome to the HPRC Blog. We've got lots of information here, from quick tips to in-depth posts about detailed human performance optimization topics.
HPRC Fitness Arena: Nutrition
Bright orange fruits and vegetables contain performance-boosting nutrients and should be included as part of your colorful plate. You may just imagine oranges and carrots when you think orange, but orange includes vegetables such as pumpkin, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, orange peppers, and fruits such as mango (the most widely consumed fruit in the world), peaches, apricots, papayas, cantaloupe, and persimmon.
Vitamin C, fiber, potassium, and folic acid are just some of the powerful nutrients found in many orange fruits and vegetables. The bright orange color is due to the phytochemicals (plant compounds) carotenoids. Beta-carotene, which your body converts to vitamin A, gives yellow and orange vegetables their rich color and supports your immune function, promotes eye and heart health, and reduces the risk of cancer.
There are plenty of ways to incorporate more orange on your plate at any meal. For breakfast, add sliced orange, mango, peach, cantaloupe, or papaya to your cereal or in a homemade smoothie; for lunch, top your salad with chopped orange peppers or shredded carrots; and for a healthy version of fries at dinner slice sweet potatoes, sprinkle them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and bake.
Do you think of white when you hear "make your plate a rainbow of colors?" Think again! White fruits—bananas, pears, white nectarines and peaches, and vegetables such as cauliflower, potatoes, garlic, mushrooms, onions, white corn, turnips, parsnips, kohlrabi, and jicama—are all full of nutrients and count towards your daily fruit and vegetable intake.
White fruits and vegetables contribute fiber, potassium, and magnesium, which most Americans don't get enough of. Many white fruits and vegetables are also high in flavonoids, which give these plants their white color. Flavonoids are plant compounds shown to be anti-inflammatory and to help protect against heart disease and cancer. And allium, a component found in garlic and onion, has antioxidant properties and cardiovascular benefits.
Incorporating nutrient-dense white fruits and vegetables into your meals and snacks is easy. Add sliced bananas or pear to your oatmeal in the morning, or roast hearty root vegetables such as turnips, potatoes, and parsnips with olive oil, dried herbs, and spices for a delicious dish. Sauté onions and garlic to add flavor to pasta, rice, and stir-fry dishes.

Two new performance optimization documents are now available on the U.S. Army Public Health Command website. The Performance Triad Guide contains useful tools and strategies for optimizing your sleep, activity, and nutrition.
The Sleep section includes ten effective sleep habits, strategies for addressing sleep countermeasures (caffeine and supplements, for example), and considerations for a sleep management plan, including relaxation techniques.
Activity has tips for meeting your exercise goals, how to achieve the functional fitness required to succeed on the PRT, as well as information on injury prevention that includes safe running strategies and shoe selection.
Nutrition provides detailed information on nutrition for performance, daily carbohydrate and protein calculators, hydration, nutrient timing for peak performance, and dietary supplements.
The Performance Triad Challenge, designed for squad and unit leaders, provides information organized into six areas: the professional soldier athlete, physical dominance, cognitive dominance, emotional dominance, sustained operations, and social, family, and spiritual information. The beginning of each module features a leader's guide for identifying target areas for improvement.
The Combat Rations Database, or "ComRaD," offers up-to-date nutrition information on military combat rations, including Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE), First Strike Ration® (FSR), and Cold Weather/Long Range Patrol (MCW/LRP). Warriors, dietitians, food-service officers, and leaders can look up the complete combat ration meals, as well as their individual food components, and obtain information about calories, fat, vitamins, and minerals.
Check out ComRaD on HPRC's website, and check back often to see new features that will be added in the near future, including a "cart" you can use to add and remove foods eaten and then tally up overall daily nutritional intake.
March is National Nutrition Month®, and this year's theme is "Bite into a Healthy Lifestyle." Sponsored by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, this month-long nutrition education campaign focuses on showing you how to make informed food choices and promoting healthy eating and physical activity patterns to help you maintain a healthy weight, reduce your risk of chronic disease, and support your overall health. Be sure to check out their resources on food and health, and visit HPRC's ABCs of Nutrition section too.
Fruits and vegetables provide many essential nutrients that benefit health and reduce risk of disease. Juicing provides an easy, convenient way to get more fruits and vegetables into your diet. However, most countertop juicers extract the juices from fruits and vegetables but leave behind the skin and pulp—where most of the performance-enhancing nutrients and fiber are found. To get the most from your fruits and vegetables, add the leftover skin, pulp, and fiber to other foods such as muffins, breads, or pasta sauces so you don't miss out on the benefits they provide.
Juices that are mostly fruit-based provide concentrated sources of carbohydrates ("carbs")—great for when your carb needs are high, such as before or after working out. However, drinking high-carb juices at other times of day can cause your blood sugar to "spike," setting you up for a "crash" later on. Vegetable-based juices offer an appealing, lower-carb alternative, especially for the veggie-hater. In particular, juices from vegetables such as beets, carrots, and celery that are high in nitrates can naturally increase blood flow and reduce blood pressure—real performance-enhancers. If the flavor of vegetable-based juices doesn't appeal to you, try adding a small amount of fruit to provide a touch of sweetness without too many carbs. And you can add low-fat yogurt or tofu for a protein boost.
Juicing is a great way to use up fresh fruits and vegetables that are a bit past their prime, reducing waste and saving you money. That's important because juicers can be expensive, ranging in price from $50 to over $1000! A good-quality blender probably costs less than many juicers, doesn't remove beneficial fiber, and might offer more versatility.
Keep in mind that fresh, unpasteurized juices can be a food-safety hazard. Harmful bacteria on your hands and on the surfaces of fresh fruits and vegetables can cause diarrhea, vomiting, and in some cases severe dehydration or other health problems. Thoroughly wash your hands, fruits, and vegetables before making fresh juices, and clean juicer parts with hot, soapy water when finished. Drink fresh juices the same day you make them and freeze leftovers in ice-cube trays to add to smoothies or thaw and drink another day.
Whether you get your fruits and vegetables in a glass or on a plate, make sure you're getting enough for optimal performance. Use this handy calculator from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to find out how many you need each day.
Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight can be a challenge, especially when trying to juggle the demands of active-duty service, deployments, family, and life in general. Knowing that the next weigh-in is looming can be stressful and can sometimes lead to eating behaviors that spin out of control to become a life-threatening eating disorder. But even if you don't have a classic eating disorder, you might have what is called "disordered eating."
"Disordered eating" refers to eating foods or having eating patterns that can lead to serious nutritional consequences such as deficiencies in key nutrients and electrolytes. It can compromise a person's strength and/or stamina and lead to more frequent illness or injury. This could happen to a Warfighter, spouse, child, or other family member.
Examples of disordered eating include emotional eating, binge eating, night eating, highly restrictive dietary patterns, and avoiding foods considered "bad." Some individuals use over-the counter products such as weight-loss supplements or laxatives; others participate in excessive exercise as a means to control weight. What starts out as a way to lose a few pounds or tone up could become a serious problem.
If you're wondering if you practice disordered eating, ask yourself these questions:
- Do you eat in secret?
- Are you terrified of gaining weight?
- Are you always counting calories/carbs/fat grams or some other component of food?
- Do you think your identity and self-worth depend upon your weight and body shape?
- Do you exercise a lot (maybe too much) to maintain your weight or appearance?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you might have disordered eating. It's important to get help before your problem becomes more serious than you can handle. Nutritional and emotional counseling from professionals—registered dietitians, counselors, and therapists—can help. Support from friends and family is important too. See the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics for more information on disordered eating.
You probably know that fruit, vegetables, and olive oil are healthy foods for your heart, but what about chocolate? For hundreds of years, chocolate—more specifically cacao, the unprocessed cocoa bean—has been considered good for health.
Cocoa is in high in flavanols, plant compounds with antioxidant activity that can help prevent or delay damage caused by free radicals. These antioxidant-rich flavanols are linked to reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Some evidence has shown that cocoa can help lower blood pressure, LDL ("bad") cholesterol and improve blood flow.
However, not all chocolate is created equal. In general, the less processing, the more flavanols. Pure, unprocessed cocoa has more flavanols than chocolate, which has sugar, fat, and other additives. Dark chocolate has more flavanols than milk chocolate and white chocolate. But eating enough chocolate products to reach the desired amount of flavanols could require hundreds or even thousands of calories. While all that chocolate may taste great, the extra sugar, fat, and calories are not heart healthy.
Enjoy a square of dark chocolate or a serving of cocoa as part of your day, but the jury's still out on whether chocolate can really help your heart.
Heart disease is the #1 cause of death among women (and men) in the United States; deadlier than any form of cancer. Risk factors for heart disease include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, overweight/obesity, family history, and smoking.
So what can you do to protect yourself and the women in your life? First, know your risk factors. There are some things that you can't change, such as your family history and your age. However, you can reduce your risk through lifestyle changes.
Regular exercise can help you manage many risk factors such as weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol. By now, you have probably forgotten about your New Year's fitness resolutions! Get back on track: Commit to at least 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity at least four days of the week and stand up for your health.
Also remember to make healthy food choices and manage your stress. Reboot those fitness resolutions to stay ready, resilient, and healthy. And don't forget to Go Red!
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States for both men and women. But making positive lifestyle choices, especially when it comes to food, can help keep your heart strong and healthy. Keep the following tips in mind whenever you eat out or cook at home:
- Eat more fiber. Fiber from fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and legumes can help lower your cholesterol and reduce your risk for heart disease. High-fiber foods also contain minerals that help manage your blood pressure.
- Choose your fats wisely. Liquid fats such as olive oil and canola oil are considered "heart healthy" fats, whereas solid fats such as butter and animal fat contribute to clogged arteries. Another fat that is good for your heart is omega-3 fatty acid, which is found in salmon and walnuts.
- Monitor your sodium intake. Diets high in sodium put you at risk for high blood pressure, stroke, and heart attack. Instead of using salt, try spices and herbs to season your food. Salt isn't the only source of sodium though. Other foods high in sodium include canned soups and sauces, fast food, restaurant food, and deli meats.
A healthy eating plan is just one factor in reducing your risk for heart disease. For information on other ways to improve your heart health, visit healthfinder.gov.

MSIS Medicaid Statistical Information System
The Medicaid and Statistical Information System (MSIS) is used by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to gather key eligibility, enrollment, program, utilization and expenditure data for the Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

States provide CMS with quarterly computer files containing specified data elements for persons covered by Medicaid (Eligible files) and adjudicated claims (Paid Claims files) for medical services reimbursed with Title XIX funds. These data are furnished on the Federal fiscal year quarterly schedule, which begins October 1 of each year.
- The current uses of MSIS data include:
- Health care research and evaluation activities;
- Program utilization and expenditures forecasting;
- Analyses of policy alternatives;
- Responses to stakeholder inquiries; and
- Matches to other health related databases.

Re: Official Aussie NRL Thread
Man I played league from 6 to 17.... All the way up to second division in group 4 for the north tamworth bears. In our case we had huge koori kids. One kid ****** neane had a ****ing goatee at 11 and would have dropped even a grown man. It got so boring because the big kid would get it, run the whole field and score with 8 opposition members hanging off him. One year we played with weight restrictions and there was essentially two comps. It was much better. No longer were kids getting smashed out on the wing and breaking bones or being reluctant to play for fear of injury.
Some **** must have cried racism though because it went back to what It was the next year

Brentano's Acanthi pattern, part of the new Gallery collection, echoes the "cut-out" style of Matisse, in "La Gerbe".

Other additions to the Gallery collection include the minimalist Stella, the luxurious Tamara, voided-velvet Cloudscape and the intricate Quinan.

Vincent Van Gogh's bold paint strokes (seen in his "Self-Portrait") are mimicked in Brentano's Arles pattern.
View larger
Born in South Korea in 1954 to parents who had fled Communist China, Wang's journey began with an early fascination with her Chinese heritage. At 21 she enrolled in Taiwan's premier art school, National Taiwan Normal University, where she studied everything from traditional Eastern calligraphy to Western oil painting. She taught art in rural Taiwan until 1978, when she came to the United States to get her MFA at Kent State University.
By the time Wang had completed her master's program, she was itching for a new artistic outlet.
That's when she met Homer Tremulis, an interior designer who is still practicing today in Northbrook, Ill. Wang began helping him on interior design projects, focusing predominantly on hospitality spaces. She immediately connected with the fabric work, a more familiar medium than the three-dimensional nature of furniture and architectural planning. She used the time to reflect on the lessons she learned in her graduate art program that went beyond the classroom and the easel.
Wang recalls discussions about Jackson Pollock's Drip Period—referring to his novel technique of pouring and dripping paints onto the canvas from above—and how galleries pressured him to keep producing the drip paintings to satisfy customer demand, long after his painting style had changed.
"I realized that unless you're an extremely lucky artist, you might have to live not honestly to your own art," Wang says. "Rather than do that—rather than be a dishonest artist—I thought I could be an honest business person. I could do commercial art."
By 1990, she was launching her first collection for Brentano, and soon found herself grappling with the realities of the business.
"The fine art is what the artist wants to say. The commercial art is the reaction of the designer toward the public," she says. "It requires an interpretation of the public, to do something to make them say, 'Yeah, that's it. That's beautifully done. I want it.'"
The success of Brentano is a testament to Wang's ability to do just that. In the course of 23 years, the business has grown to international proportions, with showrooms and sales offices spanning North America, Europe and Asia. The company now manufactures and sells hundreds of patterns in more than 20 collections, three of which have taken home IIDA/HD Product Awards for Innovative Hospitality Textile.

The Democratic Party is taking blacks for granted. Again.
The Associated Press is reporting that the Democratic National Committee laid off 10 black staffers this week. The layoffs occurred without any discussion between DNC chair Terry McAuliffe and the members of the Congressional Black Congress. Several leading black Democrats in Congress expressed shock and outrage when they learned of the firings.
"After I heard the names, I said, 'they're all black.' I couldn't believe it," said Democratic strategist Donna Brazile. "I tried calling Terry (McAuliffe) but he hasn't returned my calls." Brazile, who took a pay cut while serving as Al Gore's campaign manager in the last election, to prevent the layoff of competent staffers, suggested that same option should have been extended to the staffers. "This is no way to treat a group that has been loyal to us. A group that gives us 80 percent of their vote."
In the 2000 presidential election, 90 percent of black voters cast their ballots for Gore. In Florida, Bush got only 7 percent of the black vote. Even in Bush's home state of Texas, 95 percent of black voters supported the vice president. Of course, these things tend to be cyclical. The Emancipation Proclamation formed a powerful union between African-Americans and the Republican Party that lasted from 1865 until 1972. The Democrats more recent support of minority voting rights, civil-rights initiatives, affirmative action, as well as its own ethnic diversity, established them as the party of inclusion for much of the '80s and '90s. Now, the pendulum swings again.
According to recent reports by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, African-Americans are becoming increasingly disenfranchised from the Democratic Party. Part of the problem is the perception that the Democratic Party, through sheer arrogance and conceit, is dissing blacks. Meanwhile, the Republican Party has been engaging in genuine outreach on the issues that African-Americans care about most.
At bottom, Black America's loyalty to the Democratic Party makes it the easiest voting block for the party to take for granted. After all, what incentive is there for the Democrats to go out on a limb for blacks, if it is taken for granted that they would vote Democratic no matter what? In effect, black voters have given away their bartering power, making it very easy for Democrats to focus instead on courting other voting blocks, like the unions, Hispanics, etc.

Incidents at a Lansdale bar have led the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board to revoke the license of the Third and Walnut Bar.
The local watering hole had its license stripped in 2011, but appealed the move and was permitted to stay open during the appeals process. The decision to uphold the license revocation was handed down by the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas. The P.L.B.C. says, assaults, a stabbing and other problems at the bar led to the decision. The owner of the bar intends to appeal the decision again.

A Bilby Round-Up
Wignell, Edel, Practically Primary
Part 1: Bilby Books and Resources
Part 2: Bilby Survival Projects
Recent years have seen the release of a rash of bilby books with bilbies on amazing and intriguing escapades: a bilby reaching for a star to give it a kiss, a pirate and a space adventure, a quest for the moon, bilbies in a nursing home, fighting a bushfire, winning a competition ... Edel Wignell rounds up recent bilby books--non-fiction, fiction, poetry, activity books and audio visual resources--and lists Bilby Survial Projects.
The endangered Australian marsupial bilby (Macrotis lagotis) has captured the attention of many people in the last twenty years. Since the arrival of white settlers its range has been severely reduced from about 70% of the mainland to scattered populations in deserts, spinifex plains and acacia shrublands in isolated and semi-arid areas: the Tanami Desert in the Northern Territory, southwestern Queensland, the Great Sandy and Gibson Deserts and the Pilbara of Western Australia.
The destruction of the bilby's habitat by the grazing of cattle and rabbits contributed to the bilby's decline and to the extinction of the lesser bilby (Macrostis leucura). The greater bilby's survival is threatened by foxes, dingoes and feral cats.
Splendid efforts are being made to assist the bilby to survive (see Part 2) and, twice-yearly, there is a special focus on the animal: Easter and National Bilby Day (the second Sunday in September). The cleverly named Queensland Children's Choice Book Awards--BILBY (Books I Love Best Yearly) also draw attention to the endearing creature.
Anything's possible! the bilby fence and beyond (2003) Narelle Renn, The Save the Bilby Fund, ISBN 0 646 421 62 X
The Bilby Fence was a dream and, due to the generosity and hard work of many people, it is a 'dream-come-true'. Narelle Renn tells the story of the key players in the process, Frank Manthey--wildlife ranger, and Peter McRae--zoologist and scientist involved in bilby research.
Baby Bilby, Where do you Sleep? (2001) Narelle Oliver, Lothian Books, ISBN 0 7344 0602 9
On a hot day in the desert, there seems to be no life. However, many animals, including the bilby, live there in secret refuges. An introduction to nocturnal animals: bilby, striped gecko, hopping mouse, tree creeper, desert planigale and gibber dragon. 'Peepholes' allow children to discover surprises.

Since I'm the one who brought it up, I thought I should clarify it. There's a distinct difference between it would be nice to know and

I had some time to kill so I made a post on TrekBBS, having a discussion about Star Trek. That's as far as it goes. I think it's the reason most, if not all, people originally registered here in the first place.
It's still not Khan or Mitchell.
And that's fine if it's not.
While we're at it, and I know you're talking about the thread in general:
Oh goody, another "JJ raped my childhood" thread.
I never cared for the "raped my childhood" phrase. It's an insult to people who actually have been raped to joke around about it in another context. And I wish people would stop using that expression.
Do you know people who have been raped? I do. It's not something to joke about. It can be a harsh world out there, where terrible things happen. Things much worse than what does or doesn't happen in a movie.
Next time, you might want to reconsider the way you step into a thread where people are just having a conversation.

Sorry for the very late response! This looks like an issue with Pawn_Scrap, not Pawn. When are you getting this error? Are you talking to a merchant, or is this immediately upon login? If it's immediately upon login, it's more a Pawn_Scrap bug; they're asking Pawn to calculate information before it's ready to and could work around it by waiting a little while. If it's later on, after you're able to move your character around, then it's probably a Pawn bug or a conflict with another addon.

His proclamation, made during the Civil War, acknowledged "The gracious gifts of the Most High God" and noted that it "seemed to me fit and proper that they should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole American People." Lincoln invited his fellow citizens to set apart and observe "a day of Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens."
Thanksgiving has been celebrated as a national holiday since Lincoln's proclamation. While this established a single Thanksgiving Day for our nation, the date on which Thanksgiving Day fell continued to change.
In 1939, in an effort to lengthen the Christmas selling season, President Franklin Roosevelt moved Thanksgiving up a week -- to the next to last Thursday of November. This created much confusion regarding which Thursday was the correct day for Thanksgiving. In 1941, President Roosevelt signed legislation making Thanksgiving the 4th Thursday in November.
Thanksgiving is a family holiday, where the emphasis is on fellowship and time rather than gifts, glitz and fancy cocktail parties. The holiday's one constant is time to sit down and eat together. While this might appear to be simplistic and unimportant to some, there is great value in family's gatherings for meals.
A 2006 study by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University titled: The Importance of Family Dinners III, notes the importance of family mealtimes in creating the foundation for a healthy family.
The study notes that children who eat dinner with their families five or more times a week are less than half as likely to get drunk once a month (7 percent versus 18 percent ) and almost half as likely to smoke daily (12 percent versus 23 percent) as those who had fewer than three family dinners per week.
According to the study, kids who frequently eat dinner with their families are also likelier to have better grades and confide in their parents, noting that 58 percent of teens report that they have dinner with their families five or more times per week.
Based on this study, it appears as though families with children should continue to eat together throughout the year to help ensure that next year they will have much for which to be thankful.
That same positive impact of coming together to break bread may hold true for the nation too. Coming together to break bread and share time may overcome miscommunication, misunderstanding and misinterpretation. If so, let us gather together, be thankful and, as Lincoln wrote in his proclamation, "fervently implore the interposition of the Almighty Hand to heal the wounds of the nation and to restore it as soon as may be consistent with the Divine purposes to the full enjoyment of peace, harmony, tranquility and Union."

It features all the classic songs ("A Spoonful of Sugar," "Chim Chim Cher-ee," "Step In Time," "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" plus some great catchy new tunes.
Mary Poppins is the story of the Banks family who live in a big house in London on Cherry Lane. Things are not going well for the family, the children, Jane and Michael, are out of control and are in need of a new nanny. Jane and Michael have their own ideas about what sort of caretaker they should have, while their parents—and in particular Mr. Banks—are insistent on someone strict for the job.
When a mysterious young woman named Mary Poppins appears at their doorstep, the family finds that she's the answer to their prayers, but in the most peculiar way. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren't the only ones she has a profound effect upon. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises in the most unexpected ways!
There's plenty of spectacle, plenty of laughs and songs the whole family will likely keep singing after the show ends. Mark your calendars, get your tickets and make a great summer memory!

Owning yeast and sugar isn't enough to get you arrested in most places. But in some communities of rural Alaska, the high rate of alcohol abuse has caused voters to ban booze along with possession of the supplies to make it at home.
A recent case highlights a 2007 state law that makes it illegal for a person to possess yeast and sugar in a local option community if they intend to use the ingredients to make home-brew, a cloudy, intoxicating liquid often mixed with fruit juice. Villages have the option to ban booze as one way to combat to a longstanding epidemic of alcohol-related injuries and deaths in rural Alaska.
According to court records, a village public safety officer in Hooper Bay on the Bering Sea coast arrested Gerald Hunt, 42, June 30 for possession of homebrew ingredients.
Sgt. James Hoelscher went to Hunt's home for an unrelated matter, but once inside, he had reason to believe Hunt was hiding something. In a recent phone interview, Hoelscher wouldn't say what raised his suspicions, but it was enough that he applied for a search warrant.
Hoelscher wrote in court papers that he returned to Hunt's house with the warrant and seized about 7 pounds of yeast, a pound of sugar and three juice containers filled with a liquid that tested positive for alcohol.
Hunt said he'd gotten the brew elsewhere. And he said he was going to bake bread, the court document says.
Hoelscher apparently didn't believe him and arrested the man.
Hunt's assertion that he was a baker is a common answer, said Lt. Christopher Thompson, who heads the Alaska State Troopers' Western Alaska Alcohol and Narcotics Team.
"We'll ask the questions, 'How much yeast does it take to bake a loaf of bread,' and you'll get an answer like, 'Oh, a cup,' " Thompson said. "I mean, it takes like a tablespoon, so that makes no sense."
"These cases, it's not criminal masterminds," he said.
At last count, there were 34 communities in Alaska that had voted to ban the possession, sale, importation and manufacturing of alcohol, Thompson said.
State law says that local option also makes it a misdemeanor offense to possess yeast and sugar in pound quantities with intent to make alcohol.
The key is proving what the person intends to do with the ingredients, said Bethel District Attorney June Stein. The amount of yeast is one indication, she said.
"There's only one thing to do with 7 pounds of yeast. Well, two things. You could either feed an army or make homebrew," Stein said.
It's not a charge that Stein has seen come across her desk very often, she said.
"I would say that it is not that common, because usually the officers don't find out about it until after they've made it," Stein said. "And the reason they find out about it is because something bad happens."
Most home-brew cases start with a more serious alcohol-related report -- domestic violence, assault, suicide, even homicide -- that leads officers to a batch of home-brew already imbibed. And that means two felony charges, manufacturing and distributing the drink, rather than the lesser charge of simply possessing the ingredients to make home-brew.
Simply put, if the booze is already there, it's too late, said Hoelscher, the village safety officer.
"We hope to stop or prevent and hinder people from committing felonies by manufacturing and selling home-brew, because as everybody is much aware, alcohol is the bane of Western Alaska and it has caused more deaths and heartbreak than anything I can imagine," Hoelscher said.
In most cases, the authorities find the yeast as it's being shipped from hub cities, Thompson said.
A grocery store manager in Anchorage might call alcohol investigators if someone buys a lot of yeast and the manager suspects it's being sent to a village, Thompson said. As in many bootlegging arrests, investigators sometimes find the yeast packed in someone's luggage or their mail bound for the Bush, he said.
"Oftentimes we find these cases when a postal package is leaking yeast," Thompson said. "In fact, we had one recently in Nome just like that, where it's a parcel with yeast where one of the bags inside burst and there's yeast spilling out of the seams of the box."
Controlling the ingredients for home-brew in villages is similar to the effort to control the sale of ingredients used to cook methamphetemine, Thompson said.
Federal and state laws limit an individual's purchase of pseudoephedrine -- a key ingredient in meth known by its brand name, Sudafed -- and mandate that stores must keep it locked up.
Similarly, yeast is often locked up behind a village storekeeper's counter, along with mouthwash, vanilla extract and hair products, all of which a person can use to get high or drunk.
"You kind of get control over those items, and you can curb it is the logic," Thompson said.
The investigator admitted that the law banning the possession of yeast and sugar was unique to Alaska.
"You talk to law enforcement folks in other states, and they just shake their heads," Thompson said. "It's a rarity. But those communities in Alaska have decided it."
Nine out of 10 crimes in Hooper Bay are alcohol related, explained Hoelscher, the Hooper Bay public safety officer. Hoelscher said he moved to the village when he was 12, his wife was born there, and so were his six kids.
"It is a personal goal of mine to slow down the rate of alcohol in Hooper Bay," Hoelscher said. "I not only want a better community because it's my home, but I want a better place for my children. I mean, who doesn't?"

|Defect-free <110> Zinc-blende Structured InAs Nanowires Catalyzed by Palladium.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23030768 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|In this study, we report the epitaxial growth of defect-free zinc-blende structured InAs nanowires on GaAs{111}B substrates using palladium catalysts in a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition reactor. Through detailed morphological, structural and chemical characterizations using electron microscopy, it is found that these defect-free InAs nanowires grew along the 〈1 ̅1 ̅0〉 directions with four low-energy {111} faceted sidewalls and {1 ̅1 ̅3 ̅} nanowire/catalyst interfaces. It is anticipated that these defect-free 〈1 ̅1 ̅0〉 nanowires benefit from the fact that the nanowire/catalyst interfaces does not contain the {111} planes and the nanowire growth direction is not along the <111> directions. This study provides an effective approach to control the crystal structure and quality of epitaxial III-V nanowires.

Directions:- from Calais, go on to the E16 towards Boulogne, when approaching Boulogne, it is clearly sign posted.
Hope this is not too late to help you.
