Woodcreek ends Granite Bay's SFL water polo streak
Granite Bay High School dominated Sierra Foothill League boys water polo since returning to the league in 2006 — to the point that the Grizzlies didn't lose a game during that span.
The Grizzlies' impressive five-year run ended Tuesday with a 10-9 loss to Woodcreek at the Roseville Aquatics Center. The Timberwolves last beat Granite Bay in a nonleague game in 2005, according to coach Grant Guensler.
"It was outstanding," he said.
Not lost on the Timberwolves was that their victory was needed for their Sac-Joaquin Section playoff push, especially after they lost to Bear River by one in their previous game. Granite Bay is now 8-1 in the SFL. Woodcreek and Bear River are 7-2. Granite Bay and Bear River will meet one more time.
"We've been behind Granite Bay for five years, and we've come close a couple of times," Guensler said. "Our boys are always fired up for Granite Bay. The first time we played them, they handled us pretty easily. The second time, we always played them better."
The back-and-forth game finally tipped toward Woodcreek when Evan Larsen scored with about a minute left to make it 10-9.
Guensler said the Timberwolves planned their defense specifically to stop Max Vigeant and Andrew Murch on Granite Bay's final possession. Woodcreek stole a pass with 29 seconds left and played keep-away until the final buzzer.
"It was pretty exciting," Guensler said. "They had two opportunities, but (goalie) Blake Bass just had an outstanding game."
Zach Schlaht led the balanced Timberwolves with three goals. Larsen, Adam McKinnon and Travis Haury scored two apiece, and freshman Christian Emerson scored one.
Vigeant and Nathan Pinkney led Granite Bay with four goals each, and Alek Dendall scored one.
Girls water polo
Granite Bay 7, Woodcreek 1 — Grace Reego scored three of her four goals in the fourth quarter, and Juliana Rowe scored her second as the Grizzlies (5-4 SFL) pulled away from the Timberwolves on Tuesday at the Roseville Aquatics Center. Senior Jolie Rogers scored Granite Bay's first goal.
"Juliana has really been tough on defense," Grizzlies coach Genna Masters said. "She had five steals, which saved us at least three possible shots within two meters of the net."
Junior Sara Northam made 11 stops in the cage, and Megan Klingler and Hayley McAvoy each had one assist.
Dig Pink at Roseville — Roseville will be host to Woodcreek in a Dig Pink match Tuesday night to support breast cancer awareness. Donations will be accepted, there will be a bake sale with proceeds going to the fight against breast cancer, and City Councilwoman Carol Garcia will speak about her experience fighting the disease. Tigers co-captains Kali Lauhon and Kendall Harrison are organizing the event.
The Tigers lost to visiting Granite Bay 25-15, 25-20, 25-21 on Tuesday. Kirsten Merlino and Kelsey Starr had five kills each for Roseville, and Leslie Pease had six blocks. Harrison led Roseville with 15 digs.
Oakmont 3, Rio Linda 0 — Kyra Rogers had 12 digs, Emily Larson had 11 kills, and Brennah Gladwill served five aces as the Vikings swept the Knights 25-19, 25-15, 25-13. Oakmont also won the JV and freshman matches.
Girls golf
Granite Bay 230, Roseville 252 — Junior Paige Lee shot a 1-over-par 36 to lead the Grizzlies over the Tigers (4-6 SFL) on Thursday at Granite Bay Country Club. Virgie Velazquez led Roseville with a 39.
Roseville 239, Del Oro 264 — Medalist Virgie Velazquez shot a 4-over 41 at Sierra View Country Club to lift the Tigers over the Golden Eagles on Tuesday. Natalie Farahani and Bailey McMillin each shot 47 for Roseville.

NEW YORK — Millions of families tried to adjust to life without modern conveniences Wednesday, two days after Hurricane Sandy ripped through the Northeast and blacked out some of the nation's most densely populated cities and suburbs.
Homes grew chilly without heat. Food spoiled in refrigerators. Televisions remained silent. And people everywhere scurried for a spot to charge their cellphones.
By and large, Americans tried to make the best of a situation that was beyond their control. Some homeowners were beginning to lose patience as utilities struggled to restore power — a massive job they warned could last well into next week.

Sandy's footprint was enormous, knocking down wires and rendering other critical equipment useless across a huge span of the country, from Virginia to Massachusetts and as far west as the Great Lakes.
"It's unprecedented: fallen trees, debris, the roads, water, snow. It's a little bit of everything," said Brian Wolff, senior vice president of the Edison Electric Institute, a utilities lobbying group.
For power companies, the scale of the destruction was unmatched. The damage is more widespread than any blizzard or ice storm. And it's worse than the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
About 60 million people were initially without power in 8.2 million homes and businesses. By Wednesday night, that number had fallen to roughly 44 million people in 6 million households and businesses.
Even as power slowly returned to some pockets, a new headache emerged: Backup batteries and generators running cellphone towers were running out of juice. One out of every five towers was down, according to the Federal Communications Commission. That — plus more people relying on their cellphones to stay connected — overwhelmed the system in some areas, leaving many struggling to place a call.
With many businesses and schools closed, people looked for ways to keep themselves entertained.
John Mazzeo of Monroe, Conn. has a small generator that doesn't provide him much power. But it was enough to keep his 7-year-old daughter occupied with a Christmas movie. Meals consisted of McDonald's and cereal.
Vildia Samaniego of New York traveled 4 miles uptown to a bar, the Blarney Stone, to watch the Boston Celtics play the Miami Heat.
"I really needed to watch the basketball game," she said. "The place was packed. It's amazing how much you miss television."
Peter Nikac, a teacher from Fairfield, Conn., took an old-fashioned route: His family played board games and sorted through family photos.
"You get back to when we were young with no electronics," he said. "You realize you don't need a lot of that material. You get back to just doing simple things which is somewhat pleasing."
For others, the outage had more grave consequences.
"I have several hundred dollars' worth of insulin in the refrigerator," said Joan Moore of Staten Island, who is diabetic. She was reluctant to leave her home but needs to keep the medicine cold.
In Bellington, W. Va., Stephanie Hinkle and her 10- and 12-year-old kids waited out the aftermath of the storm with about a dozen other evacuees at a Red Cross shelter.
"No heat, no way to cook, no way to keep two small children warm. You have to do what you have to do to keep them safe," she said. Hinkle relies on government help, so she didn't have stockpiled food, water and supplies.
For New Yorkers living in the vertical city, a loss of power means much more than spoiled cold cuts and frozen dinners. Electricity is needed to pump water to upper floors. Many New Yorkers prepared for the storm by stocking up on bottled water. But without power, there's no way to flush the toilet.
There were encouraging acts of kindness, gestures made by the lucky ones with electricity.
"I have power and hot water. If anyone needs a shower or to charge some gadgets or just wants to bask in the beauty of artificial light, hit me up," Rob Hart, who lives on New York City's Staten Island, wrote on Facebook.
Not everybody was so neighborly.
Jake Tschudy was busy selling generators out of a truck parked on the side of a Rhode Island highway. He bought 70 of the Hyundai generators prior to the storm and was now asking $699 or $1,399 each, depending on the size. Tschudy wouldn't say how much he marked up the price.
"I do OK," he said. "It's not gouging."
Many suburban and rural neighborhoods lack power because Sandy's winds, which reached up to 90 mph, knocked trees and branches into overhead wires.
Sandy massive storm surge — 14 feet of water that broke a record set in 1821 — also frustrated efforts to quickly restore power. In New York City and along the New Jersey and Connecticut coasts, flooding knocked out substations and switching yards, the vertebrae of the electric distribution system.
Far from the coasts, utilities dealt with a different problem: Snow piled onto trees that still had leaves, knocking branches and whole trees onto major transmission lines.
In many neighborhoods, power companies can't tell which blocks are without electricity because they need to get regional substations online first. The automated signals will help pinpoint the damage. Once they identify affected blocks, tree limbs need to be cut, new power lines need to be strung and blown transformers replaced.
"Until we get these major assets back in service," said Ralph A. LaRossa, chief operating officer of New Jersey utility PSE&G, "we don't have the ability to say: Oh gee, Mr. and Mrs. Smith's home is out of service because of a tree on their line."
In all, 53,000 workers from as far away as Minnesota, New Mexico and California have come east to help.
Homeowners and businesses are likely to get stuck with the cleanup bill — though not always, and not right away. The process varies from state to state, but typically utilities ask regulators for permission to charge customers for the cleanup through rate increases.

Boehner lets DOMA ruling stand
Timothy Kincaid
June 15th, 2011
On Monday the judges of the Central California Division of the United States Bankruptcy Court ruled that DOMA Section 3 is in violation of the US Constitution
. House Speaker John Boehner, who has hired attorney Paul Clement to defend the bill and instructed the House General Counsel to oversee the defense, has indicated that there will be no appeal of this decision. (LATimes)
A spokesman for Mr. Boehner, Brendan Buck, said the ruling would not be appealed.
"Bankruptcy cases are unlikely to provide the path to the Supreme Court, where we imagine the question of constitutionality will ultimately be decided," Mr. Buck said. "Obviously, we believe the statute is constitutional in all its applications, including bankruptcy, but effectively defending it does not require the House to intervene in every case, especially when doing so would be prohibitively expensive."

Today's Winston-Salem Journal makes clear one again what advocates for open government have been saying for a long time: state lawmakers ought to be allowed behind absurd claims of privacy and immunity when it comes to the records of their communications as they went about the business of passing the nation's most restrictive voting law. As the new editorial aptly notes:
"It's bad enough that our politicians choose their own voters through their redistricting monopoly, but last year the General Assembly passed a so-called 'voter identification' bill that will clearly suppress who among us even gets to vote. Read more

Some preparations to Belize City's Memorial Park had to be made to accommodate a large symphony orchestra and an audience of over 1,000 music lovers, but hey, it was kind of a big deal…
When it was announced that the Youth Orchestra of the Americas, also known as the YOA, would be putting on a two hour show in Belize on August 4, those in charge of such things jumped to accommodate the larger than usual number of performers and listeners. And rightly so.
The YOA is a huge multicultural symphonic orchestra made up of musicians hailing from twenty different countries across the western hemisphere, giving it every right to be called world class.
In addition to fostering great music, the YOA is also on an important mission, which they state is:
"To bring together energetic, talented musicians to pursue excellence and celebrate cultural diversity as a catalyst for social change.
The statement goes on to note that;
"In ten years, YOA has become an international brand by bringing renowned artists— from Yo-Yo Ma to Paquito D'Rivera, from Plácido Domingo to Philip Glass— into the lives of young musicians and diverse audiences."
What's not to like? Supporting artists to join together in creating great music as a vehicle to foster better global relations and bring about social change.
And, for the first time, a Belizean violinist, Courtney Gillett, is part of the YOA Orchestra. Ms Gillett recently returned from the prestigious Julliard School of Music in Boston, USA, and as a hometown hero has more than a few fans taking advantage of hearing a recognised Belizean virtuoso playing in such distinguished company.
It also interesting that the YOA program stresses that the participating musicians share their experiences and the knowledge they gained working with people from so many other countries when they return home, creating a ripple effect that continues long after the last note of the tour is played. The YOA is also a great networking tool for young musicians to learn about educational and professional employment opportunities around the world.
Once again we see the power of music to bring people together and contribute towards making the world a better place.
With a recent successful international film festival, the Garifuna Collective music group currently selling out venues across the US and Canada and more and more people discovering Belizean music, art, film and other unique creative cultural expressions, Belize continues to prove that it's more than just a pretty face with a very strong environmental and social conscience – it is a place where things are happening.
We'll keep you informed…

The act of defecating in a toilet at the office late Friday night and letting it stew over the weekend for one's colleagues enjoyment on Monday morning.
Dan dropped the brief on his partner's desk and a Friday Night Special in stall #3 before leaving work last night at 10pm.
by Fronk the Tank June 22, 2007
Refers to what the former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey, his wife and a page called their orgies. The "intense" escapades, he said, usually began with a "couple of drinks" at a local T.G.I. Friday's and culminated in "a hard-core consensual sex orgy" between the three of them at McGreevey's Woodbridge condo.
My friend Dan took me to TGIF's and asked me if i wanted to do a "Friday Night Special" with him and his wife.

Besides having a shirtless male front and center, and using big chunky yarn and straight plastic needles, this photo was perfect (For the record: I don't have a problem with males either knitting or shirtless, or knitting with big chunky yarn and straight plastic needles. In fact, my husband has been knitting a blanket on huge plastic needles and super chunky yarn for a long time. He usually wears a shirt while doing that! It just didn't fit the look I was going for :) ) I asked for volunteer models from the staff here, and found a place to take my picture.

World history via personal history: the family of Laskin's great-great-grandfather Shimon Dov HaKohen split three ways, one branch going to America (and founding the Maidenform Bra Company), another branch going to Palestine, and the final branch remaining in Europe to endure the Holocaust.[Page 60]. (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
Laskin (The Children's Blizzard) conveys major events of 20th-century history and the Jewish experience through the individual lives of several generations of his mother's family from Russia. One branch immigrated to America and strove to live the American dream (one member founding the Maidenform Bra Company), one branch immigrated to Palestine to help create a Jewish nation, and one branch remained in Eastern Europe only to be wiped out during the Holocaust. The HaKohen family, which included several generations of Torah scribes, became the Kaganoviches in Russia and the Cohens in America. Through family letters and travel to ancestral homes, Laskin fleshes out the stories he was told (and not told) over the years. For example, his family never mentioned relatives killed in the Holocaust. Laskin's goal, as a storyteller, is to give his family's stories back to them. His compelling narrative brings these individuals to life as we witness their triumphs and tragedies in vivid detail and at times in their own voices. VERDICT Recommended for readers of 20th-century history, the Jewish experience, and family sagas. [See Prepub Alert, 4/29/13.]--Leslie Lewis, Duquesne Univ. Lib., Pittsburgh[Page 104]. (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
Frequent newspaper contributor Laskin's relatives provide ample material for a gripping epic narrative, beginning in 1875 and spanning over a century. This readable and absorbing book looks at the experiences of Jews--in this case all members of Laskin's family--finding a fresh start in the United States, of those working to form a new country in Palestine, and of those trapped in Nazi-controlled Europe. His American ancestors' experiences were highlighted by his great-aunt, Itel, who founded the Maidenform Bra Company in 1922. And that quintessential American success story of a hard-working immigrant who makes good contrasts well with the account of her cousin Chaim's life in Palestine around the same time--he found disillusionment there, rather than a land of milk and honey. The sections dealing with the grim toll that the Holocaust took on the family don't provide new insights into the Nazis' inhumanity; the horrors of the time gain more impact when conveyed through the stories of individual lives. Laskin (The Children's Blizzard) makes the most of the rich array of stories his research unearthed. Agent: Jill Kneerim, Kneerim, Williams, and Bloom Literary Agency. (Oct.)[Page ].

When life gets scary, TV lets us face our fears from a safe distance. A haunted house, rampaging dinosaurs and menacing storybook characters bow as antagonists this fall, stand ins, perhaps for a teetering economy, reigning terrorism and incendiary political climate.
Escapist comedies provide relief, too, the best being Zooey Deschanel's endearing turn in "New Girl" on Fox. She single-handedly proves it's still possible to build a bright half-hour around one can't-miss talent.
Deschanel brings the adorableness, alright. But horror, terror, the prefeminist '60s and recycled confusion about modern manhood are the bigger themes of primetime's Fall 2011 TV season.
No matter where it goes for escapism, TV seems to circle back to current anxieties. Jokes about underpaid waitresses get a laugh, but the real-world pain underneath threatens to gut the enjoyment. A serial about a young woman exacting revenge from the super-rich may lead to unwanted thoughts about that top 2 percent of American wealth. An experimental comedy about co-workers struggling after an office affair may be more uncomfortable than entertaining.
At least there are oddities reaching to be more than bland this season.
With 27 new shows, and TV's traditional failure rate of 80 percent, only five of these newcomers can be expected to stick around.
At a glance:
Tim Allen's search-for-manhood shtick feels most dated.
ABC's "Pan Am" has more depth than NBC's "Playboy Club," both revisiting retro-fashions and attitudes.
Sarah Michelle Gellar makes the most-welcome return, doing double time as twins in CW's "Ringer."
And "Charlie's Angels" is the most obvious misfire of the season--even more superficial than the jiggle-TV era original.
In many cases, the networks are saving their better, more thoughtful shows for midseason. (ABC's "The River" and "G.C.B.," NBC's "Smash" and "Awake," and Fox's "Alcatraz" are among those held for early 2012). For now, here's what's new night by night, with premiere dates:
"Once Upon A Time" - One of two fairy tale dramas this season, this one has the more elaborate (and imaginative) backstory. In Storybrooke, Maine, fairy tale figures live frozen in time, with no knowledge of their identities. A 10-year-old named Henry (Jared Gilmore) has figured out that "they're in the book!" He tracks down his birth mom, Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), a bail bonds collector who is the daughter of Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Joshua Dallas), as the action switches back and forth between fairy tale/Storybrooke worlds. From "Lost" writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, who have planted several "Lost" references in the pilot.
"Allen Gregory" - Animated Fox comedy created and voiced by Jonah Hill, about a precocious seven-year-old homeschooled by his gay father (French Stewart) and his father's life partner, along with his adopted Cambodian sister. Since his refined adult tastes lean more toward Pinot Grigio than food fights, Allen has a tough time fitting in at public school. Oct. 30.
Fall TV Schedule
"Pan AM" - Coffee, tea or...? At the dawn of the jet age, multilingual Pan Am stewardesses were considered a cultured breed apart. This drama has fun recreating the era, including girdle checks, to give it a romantic air, and interweaves an espionage plot and various sexual entanglements. Christina Ricci, Kelli Garner, Margot Robbie and Karine Vanasse are in uniform and ready to serve. Executive producer Nancy Hult Ganis was a Pan Am stew back in the day and vouches for the verisimilitude: "We were treated as (if) we were hostesses of a dinner party and it was a moveable feast." Sept. 25 on ABC.
"2 Broke Girls" - In this culture-clash-com, Kat Dennings plays Max, a smartaleck Brooklyn waitress working a second job as a nanny, while Beth Behrs plays Caroline, an heiress forced to work in the same diner when her Bernie Madoff-like father is sent to jail. Across the divide, they forge a friendship, become roommates and hope to launch a business. Dennings' personality jumps off the screen. Sept. 19 on CBS.
"Terra Nova" - Dinosaurs! More than a "Jurassic Park" clone, although you'd be forgiven for thinking of this Steven Spielberg-produced series that way. It's a computer-graphics-heavy saga about a family of time travelers, led by Jason O'Mara and Shelley Conn, who travel back to pre-historic Earth in order to save future humanity. Some of the dinos are sweet-looking plant eaters, others not so much. Could make for fun family fright night. Sept. 26 on Fox.
"Hart of Dixie" - Rachel Bilson is the best thing about this misbegotten drama about a big city girl from up north who goes to a small Alabama hamlet to practice medicine. And fall in love. The romantic sudser from Josh Schwartz ("The O.C.") has its moments but gets bogged down in southern stereotypes. Sept. 26 on CW.
"The Playboy Club" - Customers can look, but they can't touch. When a mobbed up patron gets pushy with a bunny, there's a murder that sets the tone for an ongoing story that will weave through the portrayal of the Chicago club in the 1960s. Nick Dalton (Eddie Cibriani) is the slick keyholder; Maureen (Amber Heard) is the newest bunny. Period music will be prominent feature. Sept. 19 on NBC.
"Last Man Standing" - When Mike Baxter's wife rejoins the workforce, leaving him in charge of three daughters, the homestead and his own feelings of inadequacy, it's a "laff riot." Not. Tim Allen resurrects his "Home Improvement" bit, including a segment in which he whines into a webcam about missing the days when men were men. Oct. 11.
"Man Up!" - Continuing the "Last Man" theme, and sharing the hour on ABC's schedule, this comedy concerns the angst of today's man-child, forced to grow up in what they believe has become a woman's world. Mather Zickel, Dan Fogler and Chris Moynihan (who also serves as writer-executive producer) are three buddies who'd prefer to play videogames. Viewers may, too. Oct. 18.
"Ringer" - Buffy's back! Sarah Michelle Gellar isn't battling sci-fi demons this time but solving a complex mystery pertaining to identity. She plays twin sisters Bridget and Siobhan, one a downscale recovering alcholic on the run, the other a wealthy married socialite. And, after a freak accident, she plays one sister impersonating the other. Nestor Carbonell ("Lost") and Welshman Ioan Gruffudd ("Horatio Hornblower") have co-starring roles in the promising hour. Sept. 13.
"New Girl" - Best new comedy. This Fox half-hour boasts Zooey Deschanel as Jess, an eccentric, socially awkward girl just dumped by her boyfriend. She's the kind of geek who makes up her own theme song and soothes herself by weeping to repeated viewings of "Dirty Dancing." Three bachelors (Max Greenfield, Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr., whose part has been recast) take her in, initially because her friend is a hot model. But wait: Once Jess tries on her pal's little black dress, things could change. Sept. 20.
"Unforgettable" - Poppy Montgomery ("Without a Trace") plays a former detective with a rare ability/disability to remember everything she's ever learned or observed, with one exception: the circumstances of her sister's murder. Dylan Walsh co-stars in the series based on an actual condition. One of the few people in the country who has the condition, Marilu Henner, serves as a consultant. Sept. 20.
"H8R" - Mario Lopez eavesdrops on over-exposed reality show "celebrities" as they confront civilians who have posted rants against them. "What do you have to say to my face?" Snooki demands. The "haters" may or may not be convinced to give the celebs a chance. Sept. 14.
"The X Factor" - This will make a big noise, good or not. Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul are reunited on a rival to "American Idol," long a hit in the U.K. The key differences are the age range and the prize money. This show is open to anyone 12 and up (no upper limit), groups can audition, and the winner gets $5 million — a record for TV prize money. Sept. 21.
"Up All Night" - At deadline the revamped pilot was unavailable for screening. Christina Applegate and Will Arnett co-star as new parents unaccustomed to not being the center of the universe. Maya Rudolph (whose role is being rewritten to be more prominent) plays Applegate's boss and a talk-show host. Lots of comedic talent here, we'll see how it comes together. Sept 14.
"Suburgatory" - When dad finds condoms in his daughter's room, he decides to relocate from city to suburb, where life will be pretty, like the lawns. Surprise, the mean girls and desperate housewives lurking in suburbia may be even worse. Jane Levy ("Shameless") is great as the sardonic Tessa, Jeremy Sisto is less perfectly cast as her dad. Cheryl Hines ("Curb Your Enthusiasm") plays a housewife type, Ana Gasteyer ("SNL") is crazy neighbor Sheila. A smart single-camera comedy with a soul. Sept. 28.
"Free Agents" - Hank Azaria and Kathryn Hahn play Alex and Helen, newly single co-workers who have a drunken one-night stand. Now they've got to deal with the awful aftermath, and figure out how distant to be, while developing feelings for one another. From John Enbom ("Party Down") and Todd Holland ("Malcolm in the Middle"), and adapted from a Britcom, "it's all about the messy," Azaria said. If only it were a bit more about the funny. Sept. 14.
"I Hate My Teenage Daughter" - Bad parenting as a sitcom premise? Jaime Pressly ("My Name is Earl") and Katie Finneran ("Wonderfalls") play best friends who learn the hard way that they over-indulged their little daughters to the point of creating monsters. They end up terrified of their teen girls. A couple of funny lines can't save the awful enterprise. Nov. 23.
"Revenge" - A primetime soap full of beautiful people, led by Emily Van Camp as Emily Thorne, a young woman out to avenge the super-wealthy folks who destroyed her family. Madeleine Stowe plays the matriarch of the family, Joshua Bowman plays her son, who will woo Emily. It's a modern take on the Count of Monte Cristo, set in the Hamptons (but not shot there; the pilot was filmmed in South Carolina.) Sept. 21 on ABC.
"Charlie's Angels" - Cartoonish action-adventure romp marked by mediocre acting. The network believes it has a "built-in" audience across generations, thanks to the title. The producer calls it "a show about redemption." Really, a show about babes — kickboxing, gun-weilding babes. Sept. 22.
"How to be a Gentleman" - Can a mild-mannered magazine writer learn to change his tone to appeal to hip, younger readers? If he's got an "Entourage" mentor he can. David Hornsby and Kevin Dillon portray an "Odd Couple" for modern times. Excruciating. Sept. 29 on CBS.
"Person of Interest" - J.J. Abrams and Jonathan Nolan offer a complex sci-fi mystery built around a former CIA agent, an oddball computer billionaire and surveillance cameras, plus a dollop of paranoia. Michael Emerson ("Lost") is the billionaire who has created a computer surveillance program able to spot future victims/perpetrators of crime. He taps Reese (Jim Caviezel) to stop the crimes before they happen. Pay attention, and watch for cameras. Sept. 22.
"The Secret Circle" - Kevin Williamson ("Vampire Diaries") switches gears to witches in his new CW series, based on L.J. Smith's other book series. Orphaned teen Cassie moves to a small town where the folks seem to know more about her than she knows about herself...And so it begins, but with deviations from the written storyline. Sept. 15.
"Whitney" - Comedian Whitney Cummings says her real life echoes her sitcom life and vice versa. She has her hands full. The standup best known from "Chelsea Lately," co-created "2 Broke Girls" while starring in this half hour. "Whitney" is a traditional multi-camera with studio audience pilot. My bet is on the "Broke Girls." Sept. 22.
"Prime Suspect" - Forget the understandable bias toward Helen Mirren. Maria Bello invents a new quirky and flawed character, Det. Jane Timmoney, in NBC's reimagined version of the BBC crime show transplanted to New York. Much better than we feared. Sept. 22.
"A Gifted Man" - A drama that aims to contrast science and faith, the powers of a shaman versus the abilities of high-tech modern medicine. Actually, it's about a neurosurgeon who starts seeing the ghost of his ex-. Patrick Wilson is the doc; Jennifer Ehle is his ex-wife, who doesn't know why she's showing up in ghost form, either. Creator Susannah Grant ("Erin Brockovich") doesn't pretend to have answers: "We're just exploring it and you can come along for the ride." (Parts of the pilot are being reshot.) Sept. 23.

How can I get my baby on a schedule?
My 4-month-old still isn't on an eating or sleeping schedule -- and it's driving me crazy. The only thing he does the same every day is wake up and take a bottle and bath. How can I help him develop more of a day-to-day routine?

Hi, I let my baby decide her schedule. If I made her routine the way I want to. I would then feel very bad if I (for whatever reason) had to do something out of that routine. I don't think it would be fair to get her out of a routine that I have made for her. Since I am flexible and try to fit in with her routine, I feel like I can ask her to be flexible at times, trying to fit in with me. If you know what I mean. If I am flexible, I can ask her to be flexible as well. She does have a slight routine however, which she has chosen herself as in, she wakes up about the same time every day and goes to bed around the same time every evening. However this depends a bit on what we have done that day, and how much sleep she has gotten during the day.posted 06/02/2005 by a BabyCenter Member
I also would definitely recommend Baby Wise. I used it for my 3 year old and my 10 month old. The 3 year old slept thru the night at 7 weeks never to backslide into waking up again at night. The 10 month old took a little longer only because I was not nearly as strict, yet he slept 10 hours a night at about 3 months old. The actual schedule isn't as important as some kind of routine. My second is much more flexible than my first therefore I can get away with skipping some naps or adjusting feedings depending on our day. My life would not be nearly as pleasant without a schedule. My children were born into my life and in my care, therefore I put them on my schedule. Sure I adjusted some things too, but I did not cater to there every wimper. Some of the fussiness just ended up being boredom. Once they are on a schedule you start to know why they are crying and can tend to that need. You will have much less anxiety about "What's wrong, when do they need to eat again, when will they wake up from nap, will I have time to take a shower....?" I hope you will check out that book, it is truly a life saver.posted 06/02/2005 by april8017
I went through this same problem when my daughter was 5 months old. I know of a method that works and has worked for my friends! The best way to get your baby into a "schedule" is to follow the same routine everyday. I followed the Baby Whisperer's routine of "E.A.S.Y.": Eat, Activity, Sleep which in turn gives time to Yourself. At 4 months old, your baby should be on about a 3 hour cycle of these events (eating every 3 hours and sleeping every 3 hours, etc). You should dedicate yourself and your baby to establishing this routine for a good week of doing nothing else but E.A.S.Y. The MOST important thing to remember is to watch for your babys cues (hunger and sleepiness) and not watching the clock. Your baby will only fall asleep when he's tired not when it's 3pm on the dot, etc. You will have a happier baby when you follow the same routine everyday and they will know what to expect. And a happier baby means a happier YOU!posted 06/02/2005 by Nicki Lorenzen
Sounds like some great advice and a couple books that perhaps I should try. I have noticed good and bad during the past 9 months when it has come ot putting my daughter on a schedule. I had a pretty good routine going for the first four months then being a single, breast feeding, FT working mom, i ran out of steam and started putting her in bed with me when she woke for her first feeding at night, now it is a habit and I wonder if that messed with the original "schedule" that I had going on. Anyways life is pretty hard to keep on a schedule. I have noticed that it works best if I leave "time chunks" to get things done. There are times when it all works out according to plan and I have time to get extra things done and taken off my to do list. And other times my hair is not so curled in the mornning for work. But it was worth it to lay there and watch her sleep for that extra five minute, watch how she reacts to greeting the world in the morning. Yes there are times when the schedule must go, times when it must bend, and times to stick tight to it and pray that sanity follows.posted 06/02/2005 by Elizanmie
I completely agree with the mom who recommended "Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child". This book was a life saver for our family! All this talk about the importance of a routine is wonderful, but I never hear how daycare fits into the mix. At home we have a wonderful routine, but my son does not nap well at daycare which throws our home routine off. I have yet to hear any suggestions about this, perhaps because there aren't any?posted 06/02/2005 by Anika8280
I wondered about a "schedule" too. I only wondered about it because family members were talking about a schedule. I really didn't see the need. It annoyed me. Why in the world does an infant need to be put on a schedule. All babies are different I guess, but the idea, well..it seems unnatural to me. Then I realized that perhaps schedule is the wrong term. Babies already have their own "rhythm of life". My 3 month baby girl is great. She didn't fall asleep early. I thought she should be going nighty night around 7 or 8 pm but she has always stayed up later- that's fine with me- I'm up later too. I stopped the madness of forcing her and around 8 weeks she was sleeping through the night (as much as breastfedd infant could sleep through) She sleeps at least 5 to 6 hours and when she wakes up, she eats and goes back to sleep. There are some days that she sleeps early, but I've noticed that's when we've done more in our day than is typical. So I'm a big believer in allowing the baby to follow their own natural rhythm. When they get a bit older, then you can work out more of a "schedule". I wouldn't worry that you're allowing the baby to rule you either.posted 06/01/2005 by um'Lailah
I am in the same boat, except our daughter is almost 9 months! We just started the Healthy sleep habits, happy child and it is working -it is just hard for me not to mess it up (I am breast feeding and she is not in to bottles or pacifiers). I am keeping my fingers crossed!!posted 06/01/2005 by dmj32
Everyone seems to have the same advice yet different at the same time. I'm having such a hard time with my 3 month (14week) old son... some day's he'll just sleep & sleep & sleep & nothing short of a natural disaster will wake him... other days he just dozes on & off & never takes any REAL naps - but either way, at night it's always the same & that's whats killing me! USUALLY no matter what type of day it is for him, he ends up falling asleep around 6 or 7pm & sleeps until between 10 & 11:30pm... he'll take his bottle & then be wide awake for at LEAST an hour, usually 2, sometimes 3. Even if he got up early, only had 1 real nap during the day, he's still wide awake come 11pm/12am I know this is a very strange question but is it at all possible he takes after me? I've always been a night person (until now lol) & some of his sleep patterns mirror mine, & old ones I had... he couldn't take after me when it comes to his internal "sleep schedule" right? That's probably just a coincedence....posted 06/01/2005 by Illumanesse
I totally agree with Erika - Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child by Marc Weissbluth changed our lives!!!! Our early-waker and poor-napper turned into a great sleeper who is almost always in a good mood in 3 days. She's now 5 months old and sleeping from 6:45pm - 6:00am without a peep, and I'm still breastfeeding. I'm giving this book to all of my pregnant friends!posted 06/01/2005 by nymomoftwo
Someone else has recommended Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child, and I have to say that this book was instrumental in helping my daughter (now almost 3) get on a routine. Because I started early (10 weeks), we didn't experience much crying from her at all. We followed the patterns recommended, and she eased into a routine within a few weeks. I think the earlier you start with something like this, the better. These doctor's have studied thousands of infants, so their advice is worth considering, even if you're skeptical.posted 06/01/2005 by a BabyCenter Member

Bravo Concert Series
Published: Sunday, October 2, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, October 2, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
ASHEVILLE -- The 74th Asheville Bravo Concert Series season will open at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, with internationally acclaimed Grammy Award winning guitarist Sharon Isbin accompanied by the Zurich Chamber Orchestra. This program includes a world premiere of the musical work, Labyrinth, by Swiss Composer Fabian Muller, which was written specifically for this world tour of the ZCO. Muller is considered to be one of Switzerland's most successful and promising young composers.
This performance will be followed by Bulgarian State Academic Opera's La Boheme at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12. This company tours the world's most prestigious opera stages in Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Spain. La Boheme, which is considered to be one of Puccini's finest scores, is the bittersweet tale of four struggling friends and the one who finds the love of his life, Mimi.
Bravo's first concert of 2006 at 4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 29, will be the family concert with reduced ticket prices, and will feature Rick Benjamin's Paragon Ragtime Orchestra playing the original film scores to a host of well known silent films starring Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, and Charlie Chaplin. The PRO is the world's only year round, professional ensemble re-creating "America's Original Music" -- the syncopated sounds of early musical theater, silent cinema and vintage dance. The PRO came into being as a result of Benjamin's 1985 discovery of thousands of turn of the century orchestrations. With support from Bravo, the PRO will also provide an educational program for local schools.
Swan Lake, performed by the Russian National Ballet, will follow 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25. With more than 50 dancers, this renowned company has focused on upholding the grand national tradition of major Russian ballet works. As is Bravo's policy, local dance students will be invited to view the company's pre-performance rehearsal.
Finally, the season ends on a loud note with a rousing performance by the Pipes, Drums and Dancers of the Black Watch and the Band of the Welsh Guards at 7:30 p.m. Friday, March 10. These soldier musicians present a spectacle as interesting to the eye as it is to the ear.
Season tickets are $75 to $205 (half price for children and full time students) for the five concert series. All performances are in the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium at the Asheville Civic Center and all seating is reserved. Tickets for individual concerts are also available and cost $25 to $55 ($20 to $40 for Paragon Ragtime Orchestra) half price for children and full time students. Single tickets can be purchased at the Civic Center ticket office, Ticket-master: 251-5505, or www. ticketmaster.com. For more information visit www. ashvillebravoconcerts.org.
Asheville Bravo Concerts receives support from the Sus-anne Marcus Collins Foundation the North Carolina Arts council, and Janirve Foundation, the Asheville Citizen-Times and the National Endowment for the Arts. Programs and artists are subject to change.

Making way for more refugees
News Stories, 10 August 2001
GENEVA, Aug. 10 (UNHCR) – In anticipation of more new arrivals, an estimated 8,000 returning refugees in three transit centres in the Sierra Leone capital of Freetown have been asked to move from the premises to resettlement sites, the U.N. refugee agency said Friday.
The returnees came home in November of last year following fighting in refugee camps in neighbouring Guinea where they were living. The majority are from the Kono tribe and they are reluctant to move from the Jui, Waterloo and Lumpa transit centres because their home territory in Sierra Leone is still considered unsafe.
UNHCR has been organizing convoys to resettlement sites in the east and south of the country and a new site at Taiama will open next week so the returnees can be as close to their homes as possible.
The number of refugees returning by ship from the Guinea capital of Conakry to Freetown has dropped in the past several months after the security situation in Guinea improved, but the refugee agency will shortly start facilitating the return of more refugees who decide to go home, even though the situation in parts of the country remains difficult. Of the more than 56,000 Sierra Leoneans who have gone back in the last year, only 4,300 have been able to go back to their homes. The rest live in resettlement sites.

Sierra Leone: Last Return Convoy from Liberia
On July 21, 2004, the final UNHCR convoy from Liberia crossed over the Mano River bridge into Sierra Leone with 286 returnees. This convoy included the last of some 280,000 refugees returning home after Sierra Leone's brutal 10-year civil war which ended in 2000. Overall, since repatriation began in 2001, UNHCR has helped some 178,000 refugees return home, with a further 92,000 returning spontaneously, without transport assistance from UNHCR.
UNHCR provided returnees with food rations and various non-food items, including jerry cans, blankets, sleeping mats, soap and agricultural tools in order to help them establish their new lives in communities of origin. To promote integration of newly arrived returnees, UNHCR has implemented some 1,000 community empowerment projects nationwide. Programmes include the building and rehabilitation of schools, clinics, water and sanitation facilities, as well as micro-credit schemes and skills training.
UNHCR and its partners, alongside the UN country team and the government, will continue to assist the reintegration of returnees through the end of 2005.
Sierra Leone: Last Return Convoy from Liberia
South Sudan: The Long Trip Home
When the peace treaty that ended 21 years of civil war between north and south Sudan was signed in 2005, some 223,000 Sudanese refugees were living in Uganda – the largest group of Sudanese displaced to a neighbouring country.
Despite South Sudan's lack of basic infrastructure, such as schools, hospitals and roads, many Sudanese were eager to go home. In May 2006, the UN refugee agency's Uganda office launched an assisted repatriation programme for Sudanese refugees. The returnees were given a repatriation package, including blankets, sleeping mats, plastic sheets, mosquito nets, water buckets, kitchen sets, jerry cans, soap, seeds and tools, before being transported from the transit centres to their home villages. As of mid-2008, some 60,000 Sudanese living in Uganda had been helped back home.
As of the beginning of May 2008, some 275,000 Sudanese refugees had returned to South Sudan from surrounding countries, including Uganda, Ethiopia, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Kenya. Some 125,000 returned with UNHCR assistance.

December 2, 2009
The study team set out to determine if "an HIV prevention program bundled with group prenatal care reduced sexually transmitted infection (STI) incidence, repeat pregnancy, sexual risk behavior and psychosocial risks."
At two prenatal clinics, the researchers conducted a randomized controlled trial. Pregnant women ages 14 to 25 (n=1,047) were assigned to individual care, attention-matched group care, or group care with an integrated HIV component. The team conducted structured interviews at baseline (second trimester), third trimester, and six and 12 months postpartum. Eighty percent of participants were African American; participants' mean age was 20.4 years.
Intent-to-treat analysis showed that, compared to individual-care and attention-matched controls, the women assigned to the HIV prevention group intervention were "significantly less likely" to have a repeat pregnancy at six months postpartum. They also demonstrated increased condom use and decreased unprotected sexual intercourse. In sub-analysis, being in the HIV prevention group reduced STI incidence among adolescents.
"HIV prevention integrated with prenatal care resulted in reduced biological, behavioral, and psychosocial risks for HIV," the authors concluded.

McLaren, you have young drivers who may fare better then Paffet, so give them more test time. If Paffet was going to pan out for McLaren on the F1 side, he would've done so years ago.

Man's Highest Purpose
The Lost Word Regained
by Karel Weinfurter
Book Reviews
Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
My arduous task in connection with this work has been to correct, and in many places completely re-translate, an English translation already existent. The labour could scarcely have been greater had I made an immediate translation myself. The object of these remarks is not to solicit silent sympathy on the part of the reader, but to prepare him to find, here and there throughout this work, something quaint and naive in its style. But such quaint peculiarities of diction I have, not a few times, carefully left alone, as they have a charm all their own, not by any means unadapted to a work of this nature. Those readers who find such peculiarities a weakness are politely reminded that it is, after all, the matter which counts, and not the manner of its expression. Further, before all, I would point out to everybody that the experiences, phenomena, and many deductions stated in this book could only have been rendered by a person initiated in the Secret Lore. Thus it became necessary to have the work translated by a non-Englishman, as at that time I was not sufficiently advanced in the subject.

Kendrick Perkins takes two big men for the Thunder in his 'mock draft'
Restless Thunder fans have directed plenty of frustration toward Kendrick Perkins the center over the past few months.
Maybe they'll like Kendrick Perkins the general manager a bit better.
OKC's much-maligned big man took part in ESPN the magazine's player-only mock draft, where someone from each team is asked to make a first-round selection for their squad.
And at the 12th pick, Perkins selected Gonzaga center/power forward Kelly Olynyk for the Thunder.
His explanation: "The first I check? Tenacity. And I can see the fire in him. I can see the determination in him to win. But it really starts with what we need. And we need a stretch 4 who can hit that corner 3. He'll create openings and space for Russ and KD."
After that, at 29, with a potential backup already in the fold, you'd figure Perkins would want to help strengthen the backcourt. Nope. Perkins either really likes internal competition or, like a vocal group of fans, really thinks his useful days in the NBA are nearing a close.
Sam Presti Jr. (er…Kendrick Perkins) went with Cole Aldrich Jr. (er…Kansas center Jeff Withey) with the 29th pick.
His explanation: "I've been thinking about this one, and I have to take the nice center out of Kansas, Jeff Withey. The way our coaching staff develops our young guys, I think he'd be a great fit, particularly because he's so defensive-minded. And he finishes really well around the rim, too. Every year, he's improved. I have to go with him."

Hasbro has instigated legal action, claiming that Atari have committed fraud and have breached the licensing agreed for use of the Dungeons & Dragons brand.
"Dungeons & Dragons is owned by Hasbro's wholly-owned subsidiary Wizards of the Coast, who discovered earlier this year that Atari may have entered into an unauthorised sublicensing relationship with Namco Bandai Partners (NBP) for the Dungeons & Dragons digital game rights," said Hasbro in a statement.
"While unfortunate that we had to take this action, it is crucial for us to protect the Dungeons & Dragons brand," added Greg Leeds, president of Wizards of the Coast. "We have been working for several months now to reach resolution with Atari, and they have left us with no other choice than to pursue legal action."
Atari have said that these claims are "meritless" and issued the following statement to IGN:
"Atari has had a long and rich history with the Dungeons and Dragons franchise, investing millions of dollars into numerous critically acclaimed and commercially successful games that have generated significant revenue for Hasbro," a spokesperson said. "Hasbro has resorted to these meritless allegations, in an apparent attempt to unfairly take back rights granted to Atari."
"Atari has sought to resolve the matter without cooperation from Hasbro. We regret that our long-time partner has decided to pursue this action. Atari will respond appropriately through its legal counsel in court."
Hasbro seeks compensation for the claimed infringement and also wishes to have the licensing agreement terminated.

A film worth watching once, another worth watching again and again and a troubling documentary are our selections for Friday night.
9:00pm, RTÉ Two
300 director Zack Snyder's 2009 take on the genre-revolutionising, rite-of-passage comic classic is a mixed bag, but it will make you want to read - or re-read - the source material. Beginning with the murder of costumed 'hero' The Comedian (a great opening sequence), Watchmen follows the efforts of his former colleagues to find out who was behind his demise. It looks and sounds stunning, the effects are superb and Snyder has put a good shape on a very complex story. But if you're expecting the emotional wallop and tension of, say, The Dark Knight you may well be disappointed. Still worth watching - just the once.
The Bourne Ultimatum
10:35pm, UTV
Now, here's one of those white-knuckle treats that causes the same amount of palpitations whether you are watching for the first or fifth time. Picking up directly where 2004's The Bourne Supremacy left off, The Bourne Ultimatum begins with amnesiac assassin Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) hiding out from Russian police and troubled by ever more vivid flashbacks. In his bid to find out just who he is, and what happened to him, he travels to Paris, London, Madrid, Tangier and New York - trying to avoid killers at every turn and crossing paths once again with CIA Deputy Director Pam Landy (Joan Allen) and his former CIA contact Nicky Parsons (Julia Stiles). With its incredible fight and chase scenes (cars, motorbikes, on foot - each as brilliant as the next) and superb suspense, The Bourne Ultimatum will leave you hoping against hope that Damon and director Paul Greengrass will someday reunite for another adventure.
Unreported World
7:30pm, Channel 4
This week the excellent documentary series looks at the lives of Thai children who take part in big-draw kickboxing fights out of economic necessity. The risks to their safety are huge, but so too is the gambling on the fights - entire villages bet on their local hero. Reporter Mary-Ann Ochota meets 11-year old Nat Thanarak, one of the best child boxers in Northern Thailand, as he prepares for the biggest fight of his career to date against Nong Em, a 12-year-old champion from another province.

November 6 Birthday Horoscope
The Year Ahead
Forecast for November 2006-November 2007
Around the time of your birthday, the Sun and Mars trine Uranus, and this opens up many new possibilities to you. Exciting (not jarring) changes and new interests characterize the period ahead. It's easier than ever to express your unique individuality, and if this involves changing careers or jobs, it's something that takes you forward into unexplored territory. You are more willing to adapt to new circumstances, ideas, and unfamiliar situations this year. You are able to find creative solutions to problems now. Your personality is sparkling, which is sure to attract new circumstances and people into your life. You may lose some of your fears of taking risks, and happily embrace all that is new, unusual, and out-of-the-ordinary. Bursts of creativity and energy that help you to further your goals, as well as the ability to spot an opportunity when you see one, make it easier than usual to break free from habits that have previously held you back from going after what you want in life. Flexibility is the key to success this year!
However, Neptune figures strongly in your Solar Return chart, and some caution with your personal finances, social relationships, and career path is in order. Most importantly, you should do your best to watch out for tendencies towards self-deception. Things might look too good to be true, simply because you want to see the best. Relationship ups and downs are possible, as romantic "mirages" are likely to present themselves. The "highs" of a relationship may be thrilling, but the accompanying "lows" can be draining. Uncertainty may characterize your love relationships this year. Be careful not to set yourself up for disappointment. The same goes for finances. You should do your best to avoid self-defeating thinking, as well as the tendency to make decisions without first verifying facts. Some confusion about where you are headed in life is quite likely. A noncommittal attitude in your personal life could leave people in your life feeling frustrated with you as you attempt to find yourself. During this time, you may be unsure where to direct your willpower. There is a reason behind this "identity crisis"--you are learning to let go of ego attachments. Your self-image is being re-worked, and you are becoming more sensitive to a greater, perhaps more spiritual, sense of purpose. Because the Sun is also in favorable aspect to Uranus, flexibility and an open mind will serve you well at the end of the day. However, do try to take off the rose-colored glasses when it comes to new financial initiatives and romance. If you don't, you could be in for some disappointment when things fail to measure up to your dreams and ideals.
Note that Venus square Neptune tends to play out either in terms of finances or romantic relationships, and only occasionally both. Uncertainty in either of these areas is the theme, but this does not necessarily point to financial or romantic losses, by all means. It might point to, for example, a variable income that goes with the territory of self-employment, or a relationship that isn't quite as settled as you'd like it to be yet.
The Sun conjuncts both Venus and Mars in your Solar Return. This configuration indicates that personal magnetism runs very high this year, and that this has the potential for being an especially creative year. For some, it can be procreative! Your love life is likely to figure prominently. You have more initiative for getting things done independently this year. The desire nature is also strong, and you may enjoy increased sexual activity and physical activity in general. Playful competitiveness is likely to figure in relationships. This combination increases your sensuality, sex appeal, and animal magnetism. Marriage, or a significant union, could occur in such a year. The urge to be with a love partner is especially compelling. If you are not currently in a relationship, you are likely to be bold and to make the first move toward someone you are attracted to. Now is also a good time to engage in creative projects and to join with others in pursuing a common goal. Any artistic or musical talent you have can make you shine brightly in the year ahead. Activities that combine action or passion with grace are favored in this period--for example, dancing, playing music, and making art or love. If you are involved in competition, you could come out a winner. Attractions to people and/or to material objects can be quite impulsive. There is a vivacious quality to your manner that gets you noticed.
A preponderance of planets in your own sign, Scorpio, at the time of your birthday this year suggests that you are likely to be presented with many opportunities to take the initiative and to express your leadership capabilities. You are bound to feel especially comfortable in your skin this year. This is a year when you can go after what you want with increased chances of success.
2007 will be a Number Eight year for you. Ruled by Saturn. This is a year of power and accomplishment. Actively seeking to expand, taking educated risks, and moving forward are highlighted. This is a year of opportunity, particularly in the material and business world, and opportunities need to be seized. It's generally not a year to find a new love partner, simply because the focus is on the material world and your place in the world. This is a problem-solving year in which you can expect real, tangible results. Advice - take action, plan ahead, seize opportunities.
