CONNEAUT -- Nearly 500 inmates have been restricted to their bunks following two weekend fights at a privately operated prison in northeast Ohio.
The restriction involves one of three housing units at the 1,700-inmate Lake Erie Correctional Institution in Conneaut.
Spokesman Steve Owen with Corrections Corporation of America in Nashville, Tenn., said Tuesday that one inmate injured in a fight required hospital treatment and was returned to the prison. Owen says the fights were unrelated.
The CCA-owned and operated prison, located in northeast Ohio about 25 miles from Erie, Pa., houses inmates under contract with the state of Ohio.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio in a report Tuesday said inmate fights and attacks on guards are up sharply at the prison since the private takeover and blamed overcrowding.
Tuesday morning, the ACLU of Ohio released a timeline to state legislators and the public, chronicling the first 18 months in the life of Lake Erie Correctional institution.
See the timeline
It is the nation's first prison sold to a for-profit company, the ACLU wrote.
The release comes two days before the anniversary of the Lucasville prison uprising.
"Laid out in a timeline format, the decline of this facility is clear," said ACLU Director of Communications and Public Policy Mike Brickner.
"In less than two years, this prison has become a privately owned accident waiting to happen."
The ACLU of Ohio also announced that it received documents from inside the prison that indicate the private prison's segregation unit is overcrowded -- now at 130 percent capacity, with dozens of cells housing three inmates, meaning prisoners are sleeping on the floor.
"The parallels between LaECl and what transpired two decades ago in Lucasville are frightening," added Brickner.
The ACLU said a February audit of LaECl by the Correctional Institution Inspection Committee found a number of alarming statistics.
From 2010-2012, inmate-on-inmate assaults at LaECl have increased by over 180 percent while inmate-on-staff assaults increased by over 300 percent. Inmate violations for fighting have increased 40 percent, and the total number of prison disturbances in-2012 doubled in comparison to prior years.
Along with the timeline, the ACLU also issued a letter to legislators, asking them to consider legislative action to increase accountability and safety at the troubled private prison.

(USA Today) -- First, the Jacksonville Jaguars toss out quarters of classic football memories, all of them nearly made memorable by that triangular cat which adorned their helmets for 18 years.
Then the Minnesota Vikings updated their Norseman. (Though now that we're hooked on History Channel's Vikings, we want another revision in Minnesota.)
Now the Miami Dolphins are officially breaking from decades of tradition, confirming the look of the sleek new mammal that will decorate their headgear.
"We had always had a plan to kind of roll it out over a 30-day period, so we're going to start rolling it out. But the logo is only one part of the announcement. It's a complete re-branding of the team," team president Mike Dee admitted Wednesdayafter the logo briefly appeared on NFL.com, about a month ahead of its official launch at draft time (sportslogos.net, among other sites, pounced).
Gone is the white helmet with the 'M' for Miami that the Dolphins' logo used to sport. Now he appears to have so much forward momentum - perhaps he's chasing speedy new wideout Mike Wallace - that the helmet appears to have flown off somewhere near Fort Lauderdale.
Meanwhile, the sun in the background - yes, we all thought the old dolphin was jumping through a hoop at SeaWorld at one point or another - now appears ready to go supernova.
Some Dolphins fans might do the same given the logo has only undergone slight stylistic and color tweaks (none since 1997) in the franchise's first 47 years, which includes five Super Bowl appearances and two championships.
But the Dolphins have been in the dumps for decades with just seven playoff wins since their last Super Bowl appearance following the 1984 season and none since 2000.
If ever their was a time to spruce up a revamped roster with a modern look, why not now? None other than Dan Marino issued his approval on Twitter.
"There's a lot of history in this in that we went back to colors, the true aqua and the true orange that were part of the first 29 years of the franchise's history," Dee said. "But the logo design itself and some other things you'll see respect that tradition in the past but also have an eye on the 21st century Dolphins."

Every wonder what happened to Cliff from Cheers? Well, he is working as a barber in a small village outside of Las Vegas. John Ratzenberger (Cliff) is in a movie called "The Village Barbershop" along with Shelly Cole. His name in this movie is Art and Art is not doing well. His wife, the love of his life, has passed on and now his fellow barber and co-owner has also died. Art is in debt, the landlord want to kick him out as he has not paid his rent. Art advertises for a replacement barber and after seeing an assortment of odd applicants, along comes Gloria. Gloria has recently found herself to be pregnant and her boyfriend just told her he has found someone else and they are getting married. Art does not want to hire a female barber but as she also can do bookkeeping he hires her to do his books, something his partner used to do. Gloria of course wheedles her way into being Art's partner partly by winning him over with her charm and partly by threatening to sue for gender discrimination. The movie is one of those Hallmark type movies. We see Gloria and Art grow on each other, start to care for each other and help each other overcome life's difficulties.

Paget's disease is a bone condition that results in enlarged and deformed bones. It is a long-term condition. Any bone in the body can be affected. However, the most common sites are the spine, skull, pelvis, thighs, and lower legs.
Paget's disease is caused by a malfunction in bone formation. Normally, bones are constantly being broken down and rebuilt. With Paget's disease, bones are broken down abnormally fast, and new bone replacement is loose and bulky, instead of strong and compact. These poorly formed bones may become weak. They also may bend over time.
The exact cause of this bone malformation is unknown. Paget's disease may be triggered early in life by a viral infection.
Risk Factors
Paget's disease is more common in people of Northern European descent and those who are 55 years of age and older.
Other factors that may increase your risk of Paget's disease include:
- Having a family history, especially in a parent, sibling, or child
- Smoking
Most people with Paget's disease don't have symptoms. For those with symptoms, Paget's disease may cause:
- Chronic bone pain, especially legs, hips, or spine
- Swelling or deformity of a limb
- Broken bones
- Bowing of a limb
- Damaged cartilage in the joints
Paget's disease that involves the skull may cause:
- Increased head size
- Headaches
- Facial pain
- Hearing loss
Paget's disease doesn't spread to other bones, but the symptoms do get worse over time.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor will order a blood test.
Imaging tests take pictures of internal body structures. These are done with:
It is best to begin treatment as soon as possible. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you.
Medications for Paget's disease include:
- Pain medications, such as acetaminophen or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Bisphosphonates to prevent the loss of bone mass
- Calcitonin to regulate calcium levels and assist in the bone building process
Surgery may be required if you have one of the following conditions:
- Bone fracture
- Severe degenerative arthritis
- Bone deformity
Recommendations include:
- Taking calcium and vitamin D supplements
- Regular exercise to maintain skeletal health, joint mobility, and normal body weight
- Avoidance of excess mechanical stress on involved bones
- A splint for an area at high risk for fracture
There are no current guidelines to prevent the onset of Paget's disease. People with primary family members who have Paget's disease are encouraged to have a blood test every 2-3 years after age 40.

The Norwegian Ridgeback is a dragon native to Norway, and its habitat is the Northern mountains. It resembles the Hungarian Horntail, except for its black ridges on its back, the browner texture in its scales, and its less hostile attitude. It has venomous fangs, and its food of choice is large mammals, including water mammals, which is unusual for a dragon. Its eggs are black, and young Ridgebacks develop the ability to shoot flame earlier than any other breeds (around one to three months). Female Ridgebacks are generally more ferocious than the males.
During the 1991–1992 school year, Rubeus Hagrid received a Norwegian Ridgeback egg from a hooded stranger in a pub. After hatching the egg, Hagrid named the creature Norbert, and tried to raise it with Harry, Hermione and Ron. However, the dragon was discovered, and eventually Hagrid gave Norbert to Charlie Weasley, who took the young dragon to live with others of its kind in the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary where he worked. It was later discovered that Norbert was a female dragon, so they changed its name to Norberta.
Norwegian Ridgeback is likely a play on Rhodesian Ridgeback, a South African hunting dog used, among other things, to hunt lions. Two other breeds of ridgeback dog exist, the Thai Ridgeback, and the Phu Quoc Ridgeback. Additionally, Ridgeback is a British bicycle company.
Behind the scenes
- In the Brazilian translation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, this breed of dragon is just called "Norweigian dragon", since the term "Ridgeback" has no Portuguese translation.

* Homemade Gifts: Marshmallow Shooters
Our other homemade birthday gift for our summer
birthday friends were a couple of these
Marshmallow Shooters!
They were a huge hit with the birthday boy and his little brother.
We had to make a set for ourselves too : )
Directions for these can be found all over the internet.
We liked this set at Family Capers the best.
(we included a set in the birthday boy's gift bag in case
his parents want to make more for themselves!)
Daddy took the girls on a field trip to
the hardware store for supplies:
1/2 inch PVC (drinking water quality)
Sprinkler Pipe
End Caps
a Pipe Cutter....
(I see more PVC projects in our future!)
We also added a fresh bag
of Mini Marshmallows
and some Safety Goggles (from the Dollar Store)
We decorated ours with
Colored Masking Tape.
Because we really can't leave anything alone.
Happy Tasty Shooting!

Forgive my ignorance, but how does this work? Does the marshmallow go in the end you blow or at the end where it comes out?

Not an ignorant question at all! I wondered the same thing when we built them. Yes, you put the marshmallows in the end and just blow!

before leaving for Sumatra, a boatload of new coffees!
We have quite a list of new arrivals this week, and since I am headed to Sumatra, I am pushing to get them all listed. From top of the list to the bottom, here they are!
- Costa Rica Don Mayo "La Ponderosa" Bourbon: Granola aromatics, hazelnut roast tones and boysenberry syrup sweetness!
- Panama Volcancito Don Pepe Bourbon: Anopther classic, well-structured Bourbon varietal coffee with malty sweetness and buttery body.
- Ethiopia Organic Idido Misty Valley DP: The ever-popular IMV returns, a carefully-prepared dry-process coffee from the Gedeo part of Yirga Cheffe, with striking strawberry, peach-apricot and mango fruit notes.
- Kenya Auction Lot #829 Weithaga Peaberry: Another stunning Kenya, so caramelly and effervescent, with a touch of cinnamon, sweet orange, and cherry drops.
- Bali Kintamani Arabica: A different flavor profile from last year's Bali, more intensely fruited, heavy body, very low acidity.
- Papua New Guinea AA Maloolaba: Strikingly bright as wet-processed PNG coffees can be, but with a wide stripe of "Indonesia" wildness running through it; herbal-foresty flavors emerge as it cools.
- Rwanda Butare Bourbon WP Decaf: Like it's non-decaf counterparts, this decaf is well-structured, balanced and makes a great espresso (or as part of a low-caffeine blend). syrupy.
- Tanazania Ruvuma Peaberry WP Decaf: Quite a bright, lively decaf cup (even more than our Kenya decaf) , with molasses and gingerbread flavors.

Porthole Barn Trail
After the Civil War, Confederate shipbuilder Joe Minch was looking for a fresh start. He made his way back to the Rockbridge area and traded his building expertise for a set of tools. That first project of building a barn set into motion a new trend in barn design. Joe placed round windows, now know as portholes, in the barn. Travel through Greene County today to view the highest concentration of Porthole Barns in the country.
James J. Eldred House Historic Site
Visit the James J. Eldred House, completed in 1861, and step back in time to view one of the most elegant residential structures in the region and an important surviving example of Greek Revival architecture. The home had fallen into disrepair over the years, but with the creation of The Illinois Valley Cultural Heritage Association, the Eldred House has come back to life and is being painstakingly restored. The home is open for tours during the annual Greene County Days celebration.
Center For American Archeology
Located in Kampsville, the Center for American Archeology Museum is housed in the historic Kamp Store, offering a variety of exhibits focusing on the 10,000 year pre-history of the lower Illinois River Valley, the archeological history of Illinois and the history of the Kamp Store. Guided tours of the facility and excavation sites are available for groups of ten or more.

Here is an updated map with some hills, and a wave effect on the water. I also used one of Tilt's compasses from this thread.
The rivers are also a bit more visible through the forests.
It occurred to me to make a map of the Island of the wizard Prospero from Shakespeare's The Tempest.
Here is my first draft, done mostly following tutorials by RobA and Gidde.
I am not yet satisfied with how the forests turned out. Somehow the rivers got covered up completely. Bits of them SHOULD have shown through. At some point I will label the map to show the locations of Prospero's cell, Caliban's shack, and things like that. Perhaps "Sycorax's Hollow" or the places various characters washed up. If I got REALLY ambitious (or found a brush that let me cheat), there might even be a grounded ship in the bay eventually.
Here is an updated map with some hills, and a wave effect on the water. I also used one of Tilt's compasses from this thread.
The rivers are also a bit more visible through the forests.
A question for those more knowledgeable than I: For an island small enough to walk the length of in a day, are there too many lakes and rivers?
Short answer: Maybe too many lakes (although at that scale they're probably more like ponds) but you're probably ok.
Long answer: If it's small enough to walk across in a day, the entire island is probably the tip of that central mountain. Take a look at the hawaiian islands or other volcanic mountains as a reference. There are plenty of pools and ponds and such, as they collect in small indentations in the slope.
I don't know about the lakes... rivers and streams there can be quite a lot - I just have to leave my house to find a dozen little brooks that you can jump over. But for a stream to form a lake should not be so common.
Woods look very nice with the streams going through them. Hills also. The mointain in the middle might be a little to spotty, regarding the scale.
What I think does not fit at all is your coastal water. Perhaps you should blend it outward? Or convert it to mist and clouds, to shroud the wizard's island!
It what way does the coastal water not fit? Not sure I understand.
There could be some appeal to clouds and mist, but I wouldn't cover the entire surface with it.
Your (darker) coastal waters have some kind of "cloudy" texture... and that clashes with the linear pattern of your wavy sea. Also coastal waters are usually portrayed in brighter colours.
And no, you shouldn't cover the entire surface with mist... but a wall of fog surrounding the coast might look nice. Might... totally your choice.

Oh NOW I know what you mean. The cloudiness isn't the water itself, but the island's shelf below the water. But I will see if I can lighten up the water there.
Trying something. Here is the map with a stormy water texture (from the Land/Sea Textures Thread) over the seas on Overlay. I figured, since this map is of an island from a play called "The Tempest," and a magical storm sets up everything that happens in the play, that rough waters would be appropriate. I also found a suitable looking ship from Ceraus' Many historical ships thread.
Do you think the ship improves the map? What about the sea texture?
Here it is, with the previous update next to it for comparison.

Big Banks Boost Fees Again: What Will You Do About It?
Bank of America's announcement this week that it would start charging a monthly $5 fee for using a debit card to make purchases is the latest in banking industry upcharges. As fee-free options for banking dwindle, the bottom line is that consumers are paying more to use their own money.

Z's Own Fault
- Wednesday September 24th – Shea Stadium
- Game (157): Cubs 9 – Mets 6
- Record (96-61)
The skinny: After Zambrano tossed his no-hitter I had the feeling his monumental achievement would help mellow the guy out on the mound.
Sometimes I sense the right-hander doesn't feel appreciated by his peers around baseball, that Z' is bothered by the fact he's not always mentioned in the same breath as Santana, Webb, Sabathia or Chamberlain.
Sure, Zambrano has the numbers: (96-61) career record, 1,170+ K's, and (51) road victories since 2002, second only to Johan Santana's (52).
But, his irrational behavior when an inning goes astray makes him look more like a fool than a staff ace.
Perhaps, I thought, the 'no-no' against Houston would change all that, relieve Carlos of his self inflicted pressure to become a 'recognized' ace throughout the baseball world.
Essentially, the no-hitter would put Zambrano on the map, permanently.
Well, that's turned out to be more wishful thinking than true.
And, Carlos has only himself to blame.
Plus, Z's own refusal to address his ridiculous behavior on the mound seriously puts his future career in jeopardy, as well.
Eventually, the electric bullets in Z's right arm will dwindle and he'll stand at the cross road of becoming either extinct or becoming a true pitcher, a hurler who outthinks hitters rather than overpowering them.
That takes mental toughness, not fit throwing antics.
All the great ones make a turn towards learning how to pitch: Maddox, Glavine, Smoltz, Mussina, Pedro..ext.
This is Carlos' seventh season in the bigs; learning how to handle adversity should be a thing of the past.
The fault lies completely with Carlos, and especially considering his willingness to ignore the advice of his own great manager to mature as a pitcher.
[ Lou ]:
- "I wish he would just quit fighting himself out there and just relax and pitch and have fun,"
- "He gets angry when he doesn't do what he expects to do. It detracts from his ability.
- I've tried to tell him that so many times.
- He understands when I tell him, and I think he forgets when he pitches."
It's not that Z' forgets, people, it's that he simple doesn't care.
And, that's too bad given his tremendous ability to throw a baseball.
And more, is it crazy-talk to suggest Lou could sport an NLDS rotation with Z' as the No. 4 starter?
Dempster in game 1, Harden game 2 and Lilly game 3?
Bob Howry escaping a leadoff triple in the ninth is a sports miracle…seriously, did that really happen?
Talked about the importance of Theriot getting on base yesterday…Ryan singles in the 10th, steals second and scores the go-ahead run after a nice piece of hitting on D. Lee's part.
Again, no player is more clutch in this Cubs' lineup than Aramis.
Not at all pleased with Cedeno's play tonight…tardy to cover first on a bunt and then slides into first base trying to beat out an infield hit.
If I were a manager I'd fine players who slide into first…run through the bag, it's faster than sliding!
I'll admit to empathizing with Mets fans tonight, well, just a little anyway.
First, the Mets blow an early 5-1 lead, then fail to score the game-winning run after a leadoff triple in the ninth against the dreadful Bob Howry.
Cubs fans have already forgotten about this game, whereas this loss might cost the Mets its chance at winning the NL East or the Wild Card.
It's a bad feeling, one Chicago fans are far too familiar with.
W – Howry (7-5) – Wood (34)
L – Ayala (2-10)
- Notes: Zambrano is (7-5) in 14 starts away from Wrigley this year; no decision tonight.
- Cubs have won 10 of 13.
- Chicago's (38-19) record is the best in baseball during the past two calendar months.
- The team is (10-6) in extras this season.
- Lou becomes just the 14th skipper all-time to earn 1,700 big league wins.
- Piniella is also just the second manager in history to achieve 90+ wins with four different clubs: Yankees, Reds, Mariners & Cubs.
- Dick Williams was the first to turn the trick: Red Sox, A's, Expos & Padres.

Safety officials say deaths of teen drivers increased sharply in the first six months of last year, reversing a decade-long trend.
A report from the Governors Highway Safety Association says deaths of 16- and 17-year-old drivers in traffic accidents in the first six months of 2012 were up 19 percent over the same period in the previous year. The association represents state highway safety offices.
Deaths of novice drivers dropped dramatically from 2000 to 2011. Traffic fatalities overall declined to historic lows during that time as well, although not as steeply as deaths of young drivers.
Federal data on traffic deaths for all of 2012 won't be available until later this year. An increase in traffic deaths overall is expected.

|Ninja Art Creation Rebirth — Strength of a Hundred Technique
|Byakugō no Jutsu
|Literal English
|Strength of a Hundred Technique
|Viz print media
|Mitotic Regeneration: One Hundred Healings
|Volume #61, Chapter #577
|Appears in
|Kinjutsu, Ninjutsu, Medical Ninjutsu
|Other jutsu
|Parent jutsu
This is a forbidden technique that is accessible to those who have mastered the Creation Rebirth technique, and as such, is only usable by Tsunade. While very similar in nature to its parent technique — which facilitates the regeneration of injuries through accelerated cell division — it however does not require the use of hand seals, meaning Tsunade's wounds begin to heal as soon as they are inflicted. Whereas the Creation Rebirth technique needs Tsunade's input to activate, any wound sustained while this technique is in effect will begin recovery automatically. The enhanced regeneration granted by this technique is so advanced and fast, that even impalement by a gigantic sword through her abdomen was completely healed in mere seconds after the blade's removal.[1]
Use of the technique requires the release of the Yin Seal, much like Creation Rebirth, but rather than just covering the face, the markings extend over Tsunade's entire body. As a testament to both its power and her confidence in its healing prowess, Tsunade has decreed that only medical-nin who have mastered this technique are permitted to break the first three rules that govern their role on the battlefield — which effectively prohibit their direct involvement in any conflict — that she herself established.[2]
- When written as '白毫', byakugō means 'Ūrṇā' (Literally meaning: Fine White Hair), which is a white swirl of fine hair on the forehead of the Buddha, represented in art by a spiral or a dot, or even a gem or pearl. It represents the third eye which allows one to see past the mundane world and into the divine world. This is a clear allusion to the diamond mark on Tsunade's forehead.
- According to Madara Uchiha, this technique is similar in nature to the medical ninjutsu used by Hashirama Senju, in that it heals the user's injuries without requiring hand seals.[3]

President Obama, as I understand the situation, is too cautious as a war leader to suit conservatives, yet too bellicose to gain the favor of liberals.
This puts the president pretty near where I'd like him to be.
Quite a lot of Obama's critics have accused him, since his speech last week, of that most overused metaphor. He's sitting on the fence, they say, unwilling or unable to commit to one course of action.
Well I don't think there's anything much wrong with fences, or with sitting on one when you want to get a look around from a slightly elevated vantage point.
I happen to believe the president is correct in concluding that America's military has vital work yet to do in Afghanistan, and that some of those tasks, once completed, will help to protect Americans.
For instance, we ought to afford the Afghans a chance to reward themselves with those gifts we cannot give them no matter how many lives or dollars we sacrifice on their behalf: a stable government and a society that is sterile ground for the likes of the Taliban and al-Qaeda.Whether we need, for our own security, to fight those groups in Afghanistan today is a question worthy of debate.
That the latter group is eminently capable of killing us is not.
Unlike his detractors on the right, who decry Obama's talk of timetables for withdrawing our troops, I appreciate that the president acknowledges, however tacitly, that our nation's blood and money are precious resources whose supplies are not inexhaustible.
I understand the fear that Obama, by even mentioning dates, is emboldening our enemies by telling them how long they must hold out.
But it seems to me that that concern is more than offset by the converse benefit of convincing our allies — most especially the unreliable Afghan government — that America will not tolerate endless incompetence and corruption.
Regardless, Obama mentioned in his speech that the July 2011 date is not absolute, but could be changed based on "conditions on the ground."
Obama's erstwhile supporters on the left are suspicious of his schedule, too, but for a different reason.
They predict the president's policy will commit the United States to maintaining a military presence in Afghanistan for decades. Many have cited as examples our experiences in Japan and Germany after World War II.
I take it that I'm supposed to be discouraged by such comparisons.
But I can't bring it off.
If Afghanistan, within the next decade, becomes a prosperous and peaceful democracy, as both Japan and Germany did while rubble from the war was still strewn about, then it's likely that the price America has paid, although high, will count as a bargain.
Certain conservatives, even while approving of Obama's decision to send 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan, have chastised the president for giving a speech which lacked the oratorical intensity of one delivered by Churchill or Reagan.
But I look at the historical record and I don't see the parallels.
This is neither 1940, nor 1987.
Afghanistan is not Nazi Germany. We confront no comparable enemy, no omnipotent foe which can be defeated only by a country that has been spurred by its charismatic leader to commit every ounce of its resources, human and otherwise, to a single task.
Nor is Afghanistan the Soviet Union (a fact to which a generation of Red Army officials would readily attest).
We can't succeed here by playing a game of economic (and atomic) chicken, hoping our adversaries, or at least their treasuries, swerve first.
Some of the pundits whose words I have read or heard in the past week seem to believe Obama is pandering to both ends of the political spectrum — a sort of catholic sycophant.
But it seems to me that the president is more a pragmatist than a panderer.
He's not trying to please either of the thin factions who teeter on the ideological edges. He is, it seems to me, striving to represent the masses who keep the whole thing in balance.
People who expect their government to protect them, but to do so without getting a bunch of their sons and daughters and husbands and wives blown up for no good reason.
That's what I expect from my government, too.
I don't know that Obama will succeed in Afghanistan.
But I am optimistic.
He has, if nothing else, proved that he is nobody's lackey.
It takes loads of guts, after all, for the star of the Democratic Party to mimic the policies of George W. Bush.
I don't care, in any case, if the "change we can believe in" isn't in some respects all that different from what it replaced.
I just care that it works.
I met Rich 11 years ago, and I remember that I had to embellish my voice with a few extra decibels.
I had called Rich because I was looking for a story for Veterans Day in 1998. I don't recall who told me about him. He was the first Korean War veteran I had interviewed.
Rich was an artilleryman, which wouldn't be a problem except the Army apparently didn't issue ear protection to its gunners in those days.
After being exposed thousands of times to the concussive blast from a 105-millimeter howitzer, Rich's eardrums were pretty well worn out.
We spent an hour or so one early November afternoon talking in Rich's living room. I wrote the story, and so far as I can remember I never had occasion to speak with him again.
I enjoyed our brief time together. Rich was friendly, open and a gifted raconteur besides. As was the case with every combat veteran I've interviewed, I came away feeling that I owed the man something more than a thousand words.
When I got to work this Monday I checked my e-mail messages. There was one from the State Police, about a fatal accident on the freeway.
I read the names Richard Lee Coller and Ernestine Mae Coller.
The accident that killed Rich Coller and his wife was no more tragic, of course, than any other in which people die for no good reason.
Yet it seems to me that Rich deserved better than to take his last breath on the cold hard ground.
I wish all our veterans, all those who put their vulnerable bodies in the way of blind stupid lead and steel, would instead lapse from this life in tranquility, lying beneath soft warm blankets in the quiet of the night.

Winsor & Newton's famous drawing inks are formulated from a series of soluble dyes in a superior shellac solution. Apply them with brush, pen, or airbrush. They are widely used by illustrators, designers, calligraphers, and artists.
These brilliant colors are fully intermixable, and they are easily dilluted (with distilled water). Fast drying and water resistant, they have excellent adhesion on most surfaces.
Seldom is an art materials product so beautifully designed, and so pleasing to handle and touch, as are the Winsor & Newton Drawing Inks! The 14 ml (½ oz) glass bottles have an oversized base, so they are difficult to overturn or spill. The labels on the bottles, and even the boxes they come in, are themselves timeless works of art.
Each label has been individually designed, and contains a unique and whimsical illustration that features the color itself. Many of Britain's finest illustrators contributed to the series. No wonder that the colors sets have become one of our favorite gifts for illustrators!
Note — Dye-based colored inks are exceptionally brilliant, but their colors should be considered fugitive. Consider them to be an illustrator's medium, used to create original works for scanning or reproduction. Avoid bright light when displaying them, and use UV-protective glass.
Introductory Set No. 1 — Contains eight colors, including Black (Indian Ink), Blue, Scarlet, Canary Yellow, Emerald, Nut Brown, Orange, and Violet.
Introductory Set No. 2 — Contains eight colors, including Black (Indian Ink), Brilliant Green, Deep Red, Peat Brown, Purple, Sunshine Yellow, Ultramarine, and Vermilion.
Shipping Note — Due to manufacturer distribution restrictions, Winsor & Newton products cannot be shipped to addresses outside of North America.

Hurricanes: Unit Overview part of Hurricanes
In this EarthLabs module, students will do hands-on experiments and study hurricanes in satellite imagery and visualizations. They'll also explore over 150 years of storm data to find out when and where these storms occur. If students are studying hurricanes during hurricane season, they can monitor the position and status of storms in real time. Hurricanes can serve as an exciting entry point into understanding everyday weather, or a culminating topic for an Earth system or environmental science unit.

How relevant are the Olympic Games to UK consumers? This is the question facing the marketing teams at the UK offices of each of the sponsors of the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) The Olympic Programme (TOP), but only a few will be allowed significant freedom to discover the answer.
The decision to pay between £20m and £40m to sponsor a global sporting event such as the Olympics, Euro 2004 or the World Cup, very quickly becomes a test of the relationship between global strategy and local implementation.
The price of a ticket to sports marketing's top table comes with a promise of vast media audiences at a set time and place. As brands search for their audience against a backdrop of media fragmentation, multi-channel television and advertisement avoidance via personal video recorders, this is something other forms of advertising struggle to match.
This ability to generate mass audiences has meant the price of becoming a global player has maintained its value, bucking the general trend of sports sponsorship. Major event rights holders, such as the IOC and UEFA, are striving to generate greater revenue from a growing list of sponsors.
This has been achieved through increasing the size of the global footprint of events by opening up new territories to the sport in question and thus adding value to commercial partners' investment.
UEFA puts the number of countries taking TV coverage of Euro 2004 at about 200, which is evidence of the emergence of the tournament as a genuinely global showcase. It also puts emphasis on sponsors to ensure the property has a resonance in each of its core markets, thus avoiding waste.
So for multinationals, global sport sponsorship can appear a snip, offering the chance to hit each territory with a consistent message, associate the brand with the excitement of sport and spread the cost of the rights fee across local markets. What, then, can go wrong? Plenty, according to Cameron Day of sponsorship consultancy The Works. 'This summer more money has been spent on marketing through sport than ever,' he says. 'The majority is wasted because sponsors fail to make relevant sales connections with consumers. Those who buy an association with the biggest property of all, the Olympics, are most likely to fail. Such a global event is, by its nature, remote and sponsors rarely make provision for marketing teams at national level, who understand their customers best.'
Localised issues
Nick Walford, managing director of WPP's Performance Sport Entertainment agency, explains that creating a sense of ownership at a local level is the way to achieve return on investment. 'Problems arise when head office decides on the sponsorship of a major property without the buy-in of key markets,' he says. 'This means local teams feel obliged to support a property for which they do not see a brand or business benefit.'
Vodafone's outgoing head of global marketing, David Haines, has used sport as a global branding tool throughout the company's period of international growth. In the past two years, Vodafone has substantially reduced its expenditure on local partnerships in favour of big deals with Ferrari F1, Manchester United and David Beckham. 'When they are amortised globally, they become better value for everyone,' he says.
'We'd rather have a strategic review with all our companies in various markets focused on what our business needs are and what we want to become involved with', he adds. Haines is also clear about the role of marketing departments on the ground. 'We have a strategic framework laying out general themes, but how it is organised locally is up to them,' he says.
The issue of how to make sponsorship fit with local needs is met head-on by the UK marketing team of Visa, a TOP partner since 1986. Visa has a complex audience, based on regional boards representing the 21,000 member banks that collectively own it. Gaining their consensus is key, says Antonella Socci, head of sponsorship at Visa Europe. 'We cannot talk directly to card holders, so our network of member banks is critical to success of a sponsorship. We don't launch activities where we don't get buy-in because if they are not going to use it we will not get sufficient return on our investment,' she says. 'By the time we signed with the IOC we had sought the agreement of the regional boards. This meant they had acknowledged it was something they wanted to be associated with on a commercial level.'
Xerox has sponsored every Olympics since 1964, a relationship that will come to an end in Athens. In the UK, the company's advertising has been limited to two press ads, handled by Harrison Troughton Wunderman, with much of its PR focused on the technical press. David Millican, head of corporate communications, says the company is using its relationship with the Games as a basis for staff incentives within Xerox UK. To ensure a local flavour, the company has employed Olympic gold medal winner and BBC pundit Sally Gunnell as a keynote speaker at sales conferences. She has also contributed to recent product launches. 'It's easy to get a link from Sally to our sponsorship of the Olympics,' says Millican. 'Customers and our internal audience can see how our equipment supports the running of the event and the teams.'
Personal associations
Xerox's use of personal endorsement mirrors the approach of other TOP sponsors in the UK. A brand's association with British Olympians can act as a shorthand for communicating the relevance of the Olympics to consumers.
Samsung is using sprinter Darren Campbell to spearhead its UK involvement.
Visa has created Team Visa, featuring five-time gold medallist Sir Steve Redgrave as its UK brand ambassador.
A lack of star quality in the current British Olympic Team is a problem for marketers striving to find a successful and contemporary public face for the brand. Compare their options with those of football sponsors and the host of easily identifiable stars, such as David Beckham or Wayne Rooney.
This points to a wider issue about the Olympics as a commercial vehicle.
'Sports such as athletics and shooting pale into insignificance compared with the interest in the England football team,' says Day at The Works.
'That, coupled with a lack of recognisable UK Olympic personalities, will prove a great challenge to capturing the hearts and minds of the UK public.' He believes this translates into a need for hard graft and creativity for marketing teams. 'Cutting and pasting logos and straplines into sporting arenas and onto merchandise does not make a compulsive connection for consumers,' he says.
Day's accusation that there is a lack of passion for the Games is disputed by Visa's Socci. 'There are 28 sports providing something for everyone,' she says. 'The passion for the Olympics, when the event is on, is stronger than for football.'
This point is underlined by Peter Walshe, global account director of research agency Millward Brown, whose findings show the Olympics still has a hold over the general public. 'Along with the London Marathon, it is perceived to be the most socially responsible event,' he says. 'It has enormous potential for the right brands, but the fit is important. Just putting a brand alongside the Olympics will not ensure the personality or image sticks.' He adds that a poor fit will only highlight how the brand falls short of the Olympic values.
On a more practical level, Socci points out that Visa's investment does not rest on anything as fickle as Beckham's form or Rooney's ankle. 'If we are knocked out of an event, there are still 27 opportunities to be had - remember the deflation of Euro 2004.' If she's right, Socci has identified the value limit of national sporting passion: they only spend when they're winning.

Coca-Cola's UK marketing team has taken local control of global strategy by supporting its investment in major worldwide football events with substantial commitment to the game in Britain.
Coke is active at all levels of the sponsorship market, from being an official partner at the World Cup and Euro 2004, to buying into the game's heartland by sponsoring the Football League from August and supporting a range of grass-roots initiatives.
Coke GB is using personal endorsement deals with Wayne Rooney and Thierry Henry to flag up its support of grass-roots activity, a shrewd move in heading off criticism of the role of soft-drinks sponsors in the debate on obesity. These initiatives include sponsoring under-13 leagues and offering football giveaways via on-pack promotions. The Coca-Cola Get Kicking Tour visited UK towns and cities during Euro 2004, with a roadshow encouraging active participation.
As last season's attendances hit a 40-year high, Coke has pulled off a coup in its title sponsorship of the oldest league in the world. Taking over from Nationwide from the start of the season, The Coca-Cola Championship will allow the brand to distance itself from the bad-news stories of excess that have been pouring out of the Premiership.
It also contrasts with the strategy of Pepsi, whose advertising, involving an array of high-profile international stars such as Raul and David Beckham, has had mixed results.

How Long Will I Live?
Many people avoid going to the doctor because they are afraid of what they might find out. Dr. Phil explains to his guests that ignorance is not bliss when it comes to their health and helps them take the first step in overcoming their fears.
Schedule a Physical Exam
Because he has a family history of diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity, Dr. Phil knows the importance of regular check-ups and monitoring his health. He brought the cameras along during his recent visit with Dr. Thomas Diaz, who runs the Integrated Health and Longevity Center in Irving, Texas.
"Our practice is devoted to preventing, not just treating disease," explains Dr. Diaz. "The testing we do on our patients gives us a genetic blueprint that is unique to each patient. This allows us to create an individualized health plan designed to keep the patient feeling good, treat existing health issues and lower a patient's risk of developing diseases they are genetically predisposed to."
After reviewing Dr. Phil's test results, Dr. Diaz was able to devise a treatment plan for a sports-related ailment that has been nagging Dr. Phil for years.
Conquering Fear of the Unknown
Phillip smokes, has high blood pressure, and has suffered a heart attack, yet he refuses to go to the doctor. "I'm not a doctor person," says Phillip. "I don't like to hear results; it's scary to me. Why should I go when I feel good?"
Suzanne is overweight, smokes and gets little exercise. Ironically, she is a cardiac nurse. "I talk to patients every day about the importance of diet and exercise, and the dangers of smoking," says Suzanne. "Yet, I continue to follow these unhealthy patterns. I feel like a hypocrite."
To help Suzanne and Phillip get real about their health issues, Dr. Phil sent them to Dr. Diaz's clinic for a series of high-tech genetic tests.
"The results of their tests will allow me to design individualized plans that Suzanne and Phillip can follow for the rest of their lives," explains Dr. Diaz. "The plans will address their current health issues, and reduce their risk of developing diseases they may be genetically prone to developing in the future. This is truly personalized medicine."
Follow Doctor's Orders
Four months have passed since Suzanne and Phillip met with Dr. Diaz. Are they still following the advice he gave them?
"It's been hard, but I'm making progress," says Suzanne. "I quit smoking, I'm taking more calcium and vitamins, and I exercise. I feel much better. Even the people around me have noticed that I seem perkier and have more energy."
After four months on Dr. Diaz's plan, Phillip says, "I feel great! I exercise and have changed my diet to include more vegetables and fish." His wife Camille says she can't believe the change, explaining: "He takes all his vitamins and supplements, eats healthier, and has much more energy. He's bought into this, and wants to take preventative action."

Within 4 months of the approval of the final reserved matters seems to be the key point here. Although the application is approved, the reserved matters could be submitted any time as long as the application is valid. Work can't start until the reserved matters are approved but must be within 4 months of that approval. The developer can sit on the reserved matters application as long as they want.
Hope this helps
This doesn't mean that work must start within the next 4 months it means the reserved matters must be approved within the next 2 years 8 months and work can start anytime from reserved matters approval and 3 years.
That's my take on it, others with more knowledge may point out my understanding is wrong.
I hope it starts ASAP, by the way.

Pioneers will be a turn-based game with RPG elements. It's a game where you start by assembling your exploration party with men with different abilities and skills. Every man counts and every skill counts. You need someone who's good with weapons and hunting, someone who is good with carpentry, someone who can draw maps, someone who could easily learn native languages and so on. Once that's done, you put them on a ship and head for some unknown land.
This version adds an overworld and some simple sailing mechanics.

Last Wednesday, Bowery's The Hole Gallery paired up with Playboy Magazine for what was billed as one of the big kickoff events for Art Basel Miami Beach. By 10 p.m. security cordoned off the growing invite-only crowd swarming the hotel's front steps.
Inside, past the girls' running guest lists and through the Philippe Starck-designed lobby, behind the restaurant terrace, there was a small stage perched at the deep end the hotel's glowing infinity pool where Los Angeles-based digital artist Parker Ito's installation was visible only in the flashing lights of cameras.
London-based artist Matthew Stone DJed in front of a backdrop wall plastered with the bunny logo. Guests vied for spots on the white beds lining the edge of the cyan-lit pool under Paz de la Huerta's gaze, looking up from the cover of Playboy's holiday double issue, which had been laid out for guests. Some flipped through her revealing 10-page spread—photos by Mario Sorrenti and interview by Jeffrey Deitch, director of Los Angeles' Museum of Contemporary Art. Others lingered around a small open bar serving mezcal straight from clay sipping cups, where Brooklyn-based writer and 'Slutever' sex blogger Karley Sciortino chatted with friends.
Guests included Angela Pham of the insidious Bravo reality television show Gallery Girls, and Dee Jackson, half of the design duo Dee and Ricky (best known for their Marc Jacobs collaboration and Lego block accessories), wearing a varsity letterman jacket with the letters R-I-C-H in colorful bold chenille emblazoned across the back, spelling out the theme of the week.
A photographer from Patrick McMullan did laps around the pool in search of actor Jeremy Piven, who was rumored to be hiding out in one of the VIP cabanas. "I fucking hate this," he said before turning back for another round, never to find Piven. Having to compete with the Chanel and Art.sy event that night at the Soho Beach House, the crowd was more friends-of-The-Hole than famous.
Moments before the A$AP Mob took the stage, a stream of New York cool kids arrived, as if their plane had just taxied up the hotel's driveway. Lisa Katnic, host of VFiles web series LisaTV appeared, sporting head-to-toe camo and a bold platinum flattop. Geneviève Belleveau, the Brooklyn-based performance artist, followed. Outside the hotel people were still arriving, hoping to catch the five-song performance that started an hour and a half late—for which A$AP Rocky apologized when he got onstage.
"That's swag, bitch," he rapped to a crowd that rushed the stage for the last song of his set, bobbing up and down to his single, "Fuckin' Problem," looking like they've never had one. After the set the crowd quickly dispersed, surely late for yet another party where everyone would be VIP.

After finally arriving in Azalea Town, Ash can finally have his Gym battle, if only the gym weren't closed thanks to the recent drought. Then Ash makes the mistake of stepping on a Slowpoke's tail, which angers the townspeople since they believe that Slowpoke are as sacred as the cows of India. An elderly man in a Slowpoke costume gives out costumes to Ash and friends to give the townspeople the slip. Who is this old man, and where is Kurt, the guy Ash was supposed to give the GS Ball to?
- Maisy
- Kurt
- Two events in the anime (Team Rocket attacking the Slowpoke well and Kurt hurting himself) happened in the Gen II games.
- The people of Azalea Town believe that Slowpoke should be sacred, just like how people in India treat cows.
- The "Who's that Pokémon?" in this episode is Pineco. (US)

Hi everyone, I am a beginner of sorts.....pick up knitting a year ago after a LONG break. We I purchased on Knit Picks the Impressionist Afghan. Did I get in over my head?
Anyone else buy it?
Views: 449
Even if not someday, I still want to make one.
Just before the thief stole Mary's samples, she was talking about doing an adult size.
But garter st looks so pretty, it's worth the cheating, LOL!
Hi Everyone! I haven't been on awhile, but I only have one color left in the Impressionist Afghan!!! My 1st Knitting Project. Well I am proud of myself :)
I didn't mess up the leafs, which I patted myself on the back for, LOL. Although, I had problems with just the knitting inside, arghhh. I knitted as I watched my shows and I would slip off a stitch on accident and end up with a whole, having to pull back several lines. (shaking head). Or I forget to slip off the stitch at times once worked and have to many loops. I have gotten good at pulling my work apart, just to do it again!!
I can now sit and watch a show and hardly mess up! Learning from my mistakes, I put a marker every 20 stitches, just in case I got distracted and miscounted. This made it so I didn't have to tear back rows!!
I love Knitting even more than Crocheting :) I did enjoy Crocheting and I hardly mess up on it, since you don't work with so many stitches at once. I find Knitting more relaxing for me.
That Bee outfit is soooo adorable!! :)
I hope this finds you all well?!

To help you understand what is happening when you have cancer, it helps to understand how your body works normally. Our bodies are made up of tiny building blocks called cells. Normal cells grow and multiply when the body needs them and die out when the body does not need them.
Cancer is made up of abnormal cells. These cells grow whether they are needed or not.
Esophageal cancer is cancer that begins in the esophagus. The esophagus is a tube that carries food and liquid from the throat to the stomach. In adults, the esophagus is about 10 inches long. Cancer can develop in any part of the esophagus.
There are 2 types of esophageal cancer. They are squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. They are named based on the cells in which the cancer starts. Squamous cell carcinomas can start anywhere along the esophagus, whereas adenocarcinomas typically start in the lower part of the esophagus. The cancer's exact location is an important part of choosing treatment and predicting how well it will work.
Tumors typically start in the inner lining of the esophagus (called the mucosa) and will gradually narrow the opening of the esophagus, which is called the lumen. This causes increasing problems with swallowing. Cancer can also spread through the wall of the esophagus to the surrounding tissues, such as nearby lymph nodes, or to the trachea (windpipe).
If the cancer spreads to nearby structures outside the esophagus, it usually shows up in 1 or more of these places:
Diaphragm (thin breathing muscle below the lungs)
Pericardium (sac around the heart)
Pleura (tissue that covers the lungs)
Lymph nodes, which are small collections of immune cells throughout the body that help fight infection.
Trachea (windpipe)
Large blood vessels in the chest
Sometimes cancer from the esophagus spreads to distant parts of the body, too. (This is known as metastasis.):
Less often, esophageal cancer spreads to these areas:
Adrenal glands
Lining of the abdomen

- "Ruunt.."
- — Ran Fa Li.
Fish in a Barrel is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that takes place in the office of San Fierro Triads leader Wu Zi Mu at The Four Dragons Casino, located along The Strip in Las Venturas, San Andreas. Although considered a mission, there is nothing for the player to do other then watch the scene.
Carl enters a room with Ran Fa Li. Woozie asks them to sign papers. This now marks a beginning of a new management as Woozie has proclaimed them partners in managing and owning The Four Dragons Casino.
- This cutscene was supposedly intended to be part of an actual mission, wherein Woozie would give CJ a golf club and order him to protect Ran Fa Li from a Mafia attack.
- Although Carl owns a share in the Four Dragons, it never becomes an asset. The only way to receive casino profits is to win in any of the games at the casino.
Being simply a cut-scene, there is no reward for Carl - as noted above, the casino does not actually become an asset.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Philadelphia Flyers will try to extend their longest
winning streak of the season and claim their first victory in Colorado in over
11 years as they visit the Avalanche on Thursday night.
The Flyers have picked up a victory in four straight, winning the first three
of a six-game road trip. Philadelphia began the trek with consecutive 4-3
shootout wins over Edmonton and Vancouver before rolling past the Calgary
Flames 4-1 on Tuesday.
Brayden Schenn had a goal and two assists, while Braydon Coburn, Scott
Hartnell and Mark Streit all scored. Ray Emery made 23 saves to improve the
Flyers to 7-1-1 in their past nine games.
"We've had some big efforts so far to start this trip," said Emery, whose club
will visit Phoenix and New Jersey to conclude the swing. "These last two wins
are a great way to end the year off."
Though captain Claude Giroux had a nine-game point streak (6 goals, 11
assists) end in Tuesday's win, forward Wayne Simmonds notched a pair of
assists to give him seven goals and 11 points over his last seven games.
The Flyers lost forward Matt Read to an upper-body injury during the win over
the Flames. He is day-to-day, but could play tonight.
Steve Mason is the likely starter for Philadelphia and he has struggled in his
career versus the Avalanche, going 4-6-2 with a 3.27 goals against average in
