The Real Housewives of Miami
February 07, 2011 09:00 AM by Christine McDow
The Real Housewives of NYC was supposed to start in a couple of weeks of Bravo, but last week Bravo made a big announcement. They are pushing The Real Housewives of NYC back to later in the spring in order to begin The Real Housewives of Miami, formerly known as The Miami Social Club. TRHM will start on February 22. Why this change? Keep reading to find out!
The Real Housewives of Miami is identical to the other Housewives franchises in Beverly Hills, Orange County, Atlanta and NYC. The wives are rich socialites who are worried about things most of America would think are unimportant like their nail polish chipping or a gray hair.
Rumor has it that the show is not receiving very good reviews from the public which has caused them to pull the show early. Maybe even for good.
The Miami housewives consist of:
Lea Black: The wife of a top criminal attorney, Roy Black, and mother of a nine year old. She is involved in politics and helped raise money for President Barack Obama in 2008.
Alexia Echevarria: Known as the "Cuban Barbie" and executive editor of Venue Magazine, Alexia is always on the cutting edge of fashion. She is married and the mother to two boys.
Cristy Rice: Recently divorced from NBA superstar Glen Rice, this single mother of three and owner of her own clothing store will be dealing with a lot of personal and relationship drama during the first season.
Adriana DeMoura-Sidi: Newly divorced and newly engaged, Adriana can not handle being alone. Her relationships are always rocky and her flirtatious attitude gets her in trouble with her fiance and her peers.
Larsa Pippen: Married to NBA player Scotty Pippen, Larsa claims she can do no wrong and is a pro at everything she does including being a wife and mother to her three sons and one daughter. She can't find a nanny that is good enough for her, but she can find plenty of time to spend money on herself.
Marysol Patton: One of the most sought after women in Miami, she might also be the smartest woman in Miami. Marysol runs her own public relations company and throws the best parties in Miami. While having no young children to boast about on the show, she does have her "psychic" mother, Elsa.
This should be fun….

Misool Island is a remote, tropical hideaway, one of four largest islands in the Raja Ampat archipelago, world renowned dive destination in the province of West Papua.
Located off the west coast of the main island of Papua, directly bordering the Seram Sea, the waters are a veritable traffic lane for many large sea creatures, including whales.
The crystal clear turquoise sea-waters allow spectacular views of Misools sub-surface colorful treasures even when still aboard your boat. And once under the water, visibility can reach from 10 meters to as far as 30 meters.
The sea gardens of Raja Ampat hold 75% of all known species of corals and ornamental fish in the world, and boast the highest level of marine biodiversity on the planet.
On land, the wild territory of Misool is one of the most visually breath-taking and captivating sites in Raja Ampat. The island is heavily forested, and at first sight reveals nothing but a thick green carpet of dense forests and mangrove swamps. The rugged terrain is predominantly limestone, the frostily coloured rock clashing starkly with the deep green jungle. To the east and west of the island, a maze of limestone pinnacles jut sharply out of the blue sea, carved and eroded by the waves and carpeted luxuriantly in vegetation. The rare beaches on Misool are pure white sand, fringed with coconut trees leading out to the stunningly turquoise waters.
Aside from the enchanting panoramic scenery and wealth of marine life, Misool is also home to ancient cultural sites. A number of petroglyphs can be found on walls of caves throughout the island, dating back approximately 5,000 years.
Misool Eco Resort is an exclusive, secluded dive center 165 kilometres away from the nearest port. It is located on the privately-owned island of Batbitim, barely a stone's throw from Misool Island. The island is surrounded by a 1,220 square kilometre no-take zone. That's roughly twice the size of Singapore.
The resort offers 8 luxurious cottages built on stilts over the water, each with a hammock integrated into the veranda and stairs leading down to the lagoon. For a higher level of service and seclusion, you have a choice of 4 Deluxe Villas, located on various corners of the island.
A dive resort is also built on stilts near the water cottages, and is fully equipped with a comfortable lounge, a small library, a massive work station, and a veranda for sunning out between dives. Dives are scheduled three times a day, with diving equipment and private guides available upon request.
A restaurant is located tucked under coconut palms, and overlooking the lagoon. It offers a broad selection of Western, Asian and Vegan cuisine. All sea-food is caught outside of the no-take zone, and fruits come from organic plantations around the island. Misool Eco ResortEmail: email@example.com: misoolecoresort.comhttp://www.welcomebeyond.comFor other accommodation please check with: Papua Diving IndonesiaPhone:: +62 811 480 7610; +62 815 27000610Guest Relations Airport: +62 815 27000624Skype: papua-diving.comEmail: firstname.lastname@example.com: http://www.papua-diving.com
To get to Misool Island, first fly to Sorong Airport in West Papua, Indonesia. This is a domestic airport with available flights from Jakarta, Makassar, Surabaya, Manado, Ambon. Batavia Air has recently started flights to Sorong from Surabaya. (click www.batavia-air.com for information and booking).
(For the full Sorong flight schedule, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorong_Airport)
From Sorong, a private speedboat will take you to the Resort. Boats depart on a pre-arranged schedule by the resort, usually at 7:30 a.m. on alternating Sunday mornings. The trip takes between 4 – 5 hours but will seem like no time at all as you journey through some of the most mesmerizing sceneries you have ever seen or ever will see. Transfer fees from Sorong to Misool are included in the resort's package price.

I work with tourists here in Hawaii and there are no good maps of the local Kona Coast. I would love to have something created that is true to form but has that fantasy element that so many of the folks here are so good at creating. I would like it to be printable and web friendly.
I am not sure about how much a project like this costs, but would love to get some quotes for a semi-professional map.
I can give plenty more details if anyone is interested in helping me out. If the map is cool and people are interested perhaps I can find a way to create some revenue, make an even better one, and pay for a bigger project.
Thanks for the consideration. Here is my email.

CORRECTED VERSION*: FY 2012 Funding Opportunity Announcement for NGO programs benefiting refugees and refugee returnees in the DRC and Uganda.
*This version replaces the announcement released on March 14, 2012, and contains corrections to the proposal content, formatting and template requirements.
Funding Opportunity Number: PRM-AFR-12-CA-AF-031412-GREATLAKES
Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number:
19.517 - Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Africa
Announcement issuance date: Wednesday, March 14, 2012
Proposal submission deadline: Friday, April 13, 2012 at 12:00 p.m. (noon) EDT. Proposals submitted after this deadline will not be considered.
Advisory: Grants.gov is expected to experience continued high volume of activity in the near future. PRM strongly recommends submitting your proposal several days early to allow time to address difficulties that may arise due to system delays.
Proposed Program Start Dates: July 2, 2012—September 15, 2012
NOTE: This will be the final Great Lakes funding round in FY2012, unless additional, new emergencies occur. Please note there will be no separate call for GBV programs for FY 2012.
Duration of Activity: Program plans for the DRC should be no more than 12 months. Applicants must re-compete for PRM funding each year. Furthermore, in funding a project one year, PRM makes no representations that it will continue to fund the project in successive years and encourages applicants to seek a wide array of donors to ensure long-term funding possibilities.
Program plans from 12 to 24 months will be considered for activities addressing protracted needs in Uganda. Applicants may submit multi-year proposals with activities and budgets that do not exceed 24 months from the proposed start date. Actual awards will not exceed 12 months in duration. Multi-year proposals selected for funding by PRM will be funded in 12-month increments and must include results-based indictors within the first 12 months. In addition, fully developed programs with detailed budgets, objectives and clear, measurable results-based indicators are required for all years of activities. Continued funding after the initial 12-month award requires the submission of a noncompeting continuation application as detailed in the Noncompeting Application Requirements section below and will be contingent upon available funding, strong performance, and continuing need. NGOs receiving awards under these terms will be required to submit continuation applications at least three months in advance of the end of each 12-month period of activities. Please see the "Proposal Content, Formatting, and Templates" section for additional guidance.
PRM makes no representations that it will continue to fund the project in successive years and encourages applicants to seek a wide array of donors to ensure long-term and diverse funding sources.
Current Funding Priorities for refugees in the DRC and Uganda: PRM will prioritize currently available funding for the DRC and Uganda as identified below:
Country Specific Instructions:
(1) Uganda
• Proposals for Uganda should focus on life-saving basic preventive and curative healthcare assistance, and gender-based violence prevention and response in the refugee settlements in the southwest.
• Proposals for Uganda may also focus on protection, including prevention of and response to gender-based violence in urban refugee communities.
• Proposals can choose to focus on assistance to either the refugee settlements or to urban refugee communities. While PRM does not discourage activities that also include the local host population along with refugees, proposals should concentrate on activities for refugees. At least 80% of beneficiaries must be refugees with the remainder being vulnerable individuals in host communities.
• Proposed activities for the DRC should support the repatriation and reintegration of Congolese refugees returning to Equateur and South Kivu provinces.
-- Proposals for Equateur Province should focus on water and sanitation, shelter, sustainable livelihood promotion, and gender-based violence prevention and response.
-- Proposals for South Kivu Province should focus on sustainable livelihood promotion, water and sanitation, and gender-based violence prevention and response.
• Proposals should focus on areas of high refugee return where new refugee returnees (those who have returned in 2011-2012) make up at least 50% of targeted beneficiaries. Proposals should specify refugee returnee population numbers and/or projections for 2012 in proposed locations.
• Proposals should target priority sectors specific to the geographic area and target population as identified in collaboration with UNHCR, local authorities, and returnees themselves.
PRM will accept proposals from any NGO working in the above mentioned sectors although, given budgetary constraints, priority will be given to proposals from organizations that can demonstrate:
• A working relationship with UNHCR, current UNHCR funding, and/or a letter of support from UNHCR for the proposed activities and/or overall country program (this letter should highlight the gap in services the proposed program is designed to address);
• A proven track record providing proposed assistance both in the sector and specified location;
• Evidence of coordination with UNHCR and other international organizations (IOs) and NGOs working in the same area or sector as well as – where possible – local authorities;
• A concrete implementation plan with well-conceived objectives and indicators that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and reliable, and time-bound and trackable (SMART), have established baselines, and at least one outcome indicator per objective;
• A budget that is appropriate for meeting the objectives and demonstrates co-funding by non-US government sources;
• Appropriate targeting of beneficiaries in coordination with UNHCR and other relevant organizations. Because of PRM's mandate to provide protection, assistance, and sustainable solutions for refugees and victims of conflict, PRM only considers funding projects that include a target beneficiary base of at least 50% refugees and/or refugee returnees.
• Adherence to relevant international standards for humanitarian assistance. See PRM's General NGO Guidelines for a complete list of sector-specific standards.
International Organizations (IOs) that are engaged in programs relevant to the assistance addressed by this PRM funding announcement and are seeking funding should ensure that these programs are made known to PRM on or before the closing date of this funding announcement so that PRM can evaluate all IO and NGO programs for funding consideration.
PRM will consider projects submitted with budgets in the range of $500,000 to $1,000,000.
As stated in the PRM's General NGO Guidelines, PRM looks favorably on cost-sharing efforts and seeks to support projects with a diverse donor base and/or resources from the submitting organization.
See "How to Apply" (http://www.grants.gov/applicants/applicant_faqs.jsp#applying) on Grants.gov for complete details on requirements, and note the following highlights:
• Proposals must be submitted via Grants.gov. Organizations not registered with Grants.gov should register well in advance of the April 13, 2012 deadline as it can take up to two weeks to finalize registration (sometimes longer for non-U.S. based NGOs to get the required registration numbers). To register with Grants.gov, organizations must first receive a DUNS number and register with the Central Contract Registry (CCR) which can take weeks and sometimes months. See "Applicant FAQs" section on Grants.gov (http://www.grants.gov/help/applicant_faqs.jsp#applying) for complete details on registering.
• Do not wait until the last minute to submit your application on Grants.gov. Applicants who have done so in the past and experienced technical difficulties were not able to meet the deadline and were not considered for funding. Please note: Grants.gov is expected to experience continued high volumes of activity in the near future. PRM strongly recommends submitting your proposal several days early to avoid submission delays. We recommend that organizations, particularly first-time applicants, submit applications via Grants.gov no later than one week before the deadline to avoid last-minute technical difficulties that could result in an application not being considered.
• If you encounter technical difficulties with Grants.gov please contact the Grants.gov Help Desk at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 1-800-518-4726. Applicants who are unable to submit applications via Grants.gov due to Grants.gov technical difficulties and who have reported the problem(s) to the Grants.gov help desk and received a case number and had a service request opened to research the problem(s), should contact PRM Program Officer Bryan Lupton at (202) 453-9307 or firstname.lastname@example.com to determine whether an alternative method of submission is appropriate.
• Applications must be submitted under the authority of the Authorized Organization Representative (AOR) at the applicant organization. PRM recommends submitting proposals from agency headquarters. Having proposals submitted by agency headquarters helps to avoid possible technical problems.
• NGOs that have not received PRM funding prior to the U.S. Government fiscal year ending September 30, 2004 must be prepared to demonstrate that they meet the financial and accounting requirements of the U.S. Government by submitting copies of 1) the most recent external financial audit, 2) non-profit tax status under IRS 501 (c)(3), 3) a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, and 4) an Employer ID (EIN)/Federal Tax Identification number.
Please refer to the "Proposal Submission and Review Process" section in PRM's General NGO Guidelines. PRM strongly encourages organizations applying for PRM funding to use the PRM recommended proposal and budget templates. Templates can be requested by sending an email to PRM's NGO Coordinator. You must type "PRM NGO Templates" in the subject line to receive an automated reply containing the template.
In addition to referencing the General NGO Guidelines, applicants proposing multi-year programs should adhere to the following guidance.
Applicants may submit proposals that include multi-year strategies presented in 12-month cycles for a period not to exceed 24 months from the proposed start date. Fully developed programs with detailed budgets, objectives and indicators are required for all years of activities. These can be updated yearly upon submission of continuation applications. Applicants for multi-year funding should note that they may use PRM's recommended multi-year proposal template, which is different from the single year template. Multi-year funding applicants may also use PRM's standard budget template and should submit a separate budget sheet for each project year.
Multi-year proposals using the templates must be no more than 30 pages in length. If the applicant does not use PRM's recommended templates, proposals must not exceed 25 pages in length. Single-year proposals using PRM's recommended templates must be no longer than 20 pages in length (15 pages if not using the templates). Organizations may choose to attach work plans, activity calendars, and/or logical frameworks as addendums/appendices to the proposal. These attachments do not count toward the page limit total.
This announcement is designed to accompany the General NGO Guidelines, which contain additional administrative information and explain in detail PRM's NGO funding strategy and priorities. Please use both the General NGO Guidelines and this announcement to ensure that the proposed activities are in line with PRM's priorities and that your proposal submission is in full compliance with PRM requirements. Proposal submissions that do not meet all of the requirements outlined in these guidelines will not be considered. PRM recommends using the proposal and budget templates that are available upon email request from PRM's NGO Coordinator. Please send an email, with the phrase "PRM NGO templates" in the subject line, to PRM's NGO Coordinator.
• Proposals should outline how the NGO will acknowledge PRM funding. If an organization believes that publicly acknowledging the receipt of USG funding for a particular PRM-funded project could potentially endanger the lives of the beneficiaries and/or the organization staff, invite suspicion about the organization's motives, or alienate the organization from the population it is trying to help, it must provide a brief explanation in its proposal as to why it should be exempted from this requirement.
• Focus on outcome or impact indicators as much as possible. At a minimum, each objective should have one outcome or impact indicator. Wherever possible, baselines should be established before the start of the project.
• To increase PRM's ability to track the impact of PRM funding, include specific information on locations of projects and beneficiaries. Any project involving the building or maintenance of physical infrastructure must include coordinates of site locations (place name, P-Code, latitude and longitude coordinates).
• Budget must include a specific breakdown of funds being provided by UNHCR, any other USG agencies, other donors, and your own organization. PRM strongly encourages multi-lateral support for humanitarian programs.
• Organizations that received PRM funding in FY 2011 for activities that are being proposed for funding under this announcement must include the most recent quarterly progress report against indicators outlined in the cooperative agreement. If an organization's last quarterly report was submitted more than six weeks prior to the submission of a proposal in response to this funding announcement, the organization must include, with its most recent quarterly report, updates that show any significant progress made on objectives since the last report.
Program reporting: PRM requires quarterly and final program reports describing and analyzing the results of activities undertaken during the validity period of the agreement. It is highly suggested that NGOs receiving PRM funding use the PRM recommended program report template. To request this template, send an email with the phrase "PRM NGO templates" in the subject line to PRM's NGO Coordinator.
Financial Reports: Financial reports are required within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar year quarter during the validity period of the agreement; a final financial report covering the entire period of the agreement is required within ninety (90) days after the expiration date of the agreement.
For more details regarding PRM's reporting requirements please see the General NGO Guidelines.
Multi-year applications selected for funding by PRM will be funded in 12-month increments based on the proposals submitted in the competing application and as approved by PRM. Continued funding after the initial 12-month award requires the submission of a noncompeting continuation application as follows:
• Continuation applications must be submitted not later than 90 days than the proposed start date of the award ( e.g., if funding the next budget period is to begin on September 1, submit your application by June 1. Late applications will jeopardize continued funding.
• Applications must be signed by the Authorized Organization Representative (AOR) at the applicant organization on the submitted SF-424.
• Pursuant to U.S. Code, Title 218, Section 1001, stated on OMB Standard Form 424 (SF-424), Department of State is authorized to consolidate the certifications and assurances required by Federal law or regulations for its federal assistance programs. The list of certifications and assurances can be found at: http://fa.statebuy.state.gov/content.asp?content_id=161&menu_id=68 )
• Proposal Content, Formatting and Templates: Please refer to the guidance contained within and in the PRM NGO Guidelines. The total budget should not exceed the amount which is listed on the current Federal Assistance Award. You must submit a complete application including:
-- Signed completed SF-424.
-- Proposal reflecting objectives and indicators for the continuation period.
-- Budget for the continuation period.
-- Budget narrative.
-- Most recent Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (NICRA), if applicable.
-- Information on the amount of unexpended funds to include a statement of the estimated cumulative total dollar amount taking into consideration the actual expenditures shown on the Financial Status Report. Note that funds are available for expenditure only during the period in which they are awarded.
PRM will conduct a formal competitive review of all proposals submitted in response to this funding announcement. A review panel will evaluate submissions based on the above-referenced proposal evaluation criteria and PRM priorities in the context of available funding.
PRM may request revised proposals and/or budgets based on feedback from the panel. PRM will provide formal notifications to NGOs of final decisions taken by Bureau management.
Should NGOs have technical questions related to this announcement, they should contact the PRM staff listed below prior to proposal submission. (Note: Responses to technical questions from PRM do not indicate a commitment to fund the program discussed.):
PRM Program Officer Bryan Lupton (firstname.lastname@example.com); 202-453-9307; Washington, D.C.
Great Lakes Regional Refugee Coordinator Greg Shaw (email@example.com); US Embassy Kampala.

WVU's pro day not all about Geno
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - With 29 NFL teams sending scouts, coaches and other representatives to West Virginia University for Wednesday's pro day, it would be easy for Geno Smith to feel like the day was all about him.
After all, he was the reason ESPN and NFL Network crews were set up inside the Caperton Indoor Practice Facility capturing footage and breaking down his every move.
However, in the quarterback's eyes, pro day wasn't about him at all.
It was instead about Pat White, J.D. Woods, Jeff Braun and several other former Mountaineer players fighting to earn attention and, ideally, an NFL roster spot.
"I always said it was more for them than for me," Smith said. "Everyone is going to watch the tape and evaluate me and do their homework, but there's guys like Ryan Nehlen who didn't play as much, but tests as well as the best of them.
"To have a bunch of coaches and scouts out here to get a feel for those guys as well and see what they bring to the table is extremely promising for me, because I really appreciate what they did for me."
Jacksonville Jaguars coach Gus Bradley and Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin were in attendance and watched the proceedings from the field.
Bradley and other Jaguars representatives met with Smith following the workout for a meeting Smith said involved watching game film and getting to know him.
Smith said his meeting schedule isn't set in stone yet; he has a meeting with the Buffalo Bills March 22 and expects about a dozen more visits before the NFL draft, which starts on April 25.
"As of right now, I would expect between 10, 12, and maybe even more," Smith said. "They have to contact my agents and get dates set up, because I'm pretty sure they all will be calling soon."
The pro day consisted of two separate workouts: one with players from last season's team and another with players from previous years, both containing various combine exercises and other position-specific drills.
Smith participated in a passing workout, which consisted of throwing to former Mountaineer teammates Tavon Austin, Stedman Bailey, Nehlen, Woods, Shawne Alston and Ryan Clarke as they ran routes ranging from 5 to 40 yards in front of scouts.
The combination of returning to Morgantown and having the opportunity to catch passes from Smith made the event an enjoyable one for Bailey.
"It was a lot of fun," he said. "Like I said, just being back in the building with those guys, catching balls, running routes [and] doing what we do - it was a good feeling."
Bailey and Austin, who participated in the passing workout, both have a private workout with the Carolina Panthers here today.
After his combine performance, Austin said he didn't feel like he had to prove his speed anymore, but instead wanted to reinforce his route-running ability to the scouts.
"As far as the speed part, I feel like I've already taken care of that," he said. "I just want to just show [scouts] a lot more routes I can do, because at the combine you don't really get a chance to do a lot of them."
Smith completed 62 of 65 passes during the workout, including one incompletion that ricocheted off the ceiling of the practice facility.
Nehlen impressed scouts with a 39-inch vertical leap and 4.53 40-yard dash, both of which were the day's best marks.
"I was a little nervous out there," he said. "I wouldn't say more nervous than a game, though, because catching balls, running routes, that's what I've done my whole life, so I enjoyed that part."
Braun, the former WVU offensive lineman, led all players in the 225-pound bench press with 29 reps, four more than Josh Francis. Josh Jenkins (22) and Alston (20) were the only other players to eclipse 20 reps.
Offensive lineman Joey Madsen participated in the vertical and broad jumps, but did not bench press or run the 40-yard dash.
Former quarterback White joined ex-Mountaineers Jarrett Brown, Alric Arnett, Wes Lyons, Eain Smith and other players during the second workout.
White only participated in throwing exercises but admitted he wouldn't rule out a potential opportunity at a position other than quarterback.
"I'm open to being a football player but my heart is at quarterback," he said. "I'll take any opportunity I can get right now. I just want to be back in the game."
White said he received an offer from the Edmonton Eskimos of the Canadian Football League one month ago but wanted to gauge interest from NFL teams before making a decision.
Smith said working out with White and other former teammates proved to be an opportunity to inspire him while also giving them a second chance to prove their worth to the scouts.
"Just to have them here for support, first of all, I thank them for that," Smith said, "and then they're out there trying to put themselves in a good position, as well."
The only three NFL teams not in attendance Wednesday were the Dallas Cowboys, Arizona Cardinals and Seattle Seahawks.

Who Gets to Define a Family?
by Abby Margolis Newman
Imagine this scenario: your child comes to you, years from now, and tells you he is gay. (I know, many of you are parents of very young children - just bear with me.) Then a few years later, he falls in love and tells you he wants to marry his boyfriend. You love your son, and you've grown to love his boyfriend, too. Yet the state you live in says no, he cannot marry the person he loves. How would you feel about this? To paraphrase the Facebook Queen Sarah Palin, would your "Mama Grizzly" come out roaring in protest?
Does irrational fear and loathing of homosexuality (which, for many people, is simply fear of the unknown) get to dictate with whom your child will make a family? Or do consenting adults, who love each other and want to make a lifetime commitment, get to decide for themselves?
Last week, a U.S. District Court judge in California ruled that Proposition 8 - which limited marriage to opposite-sex couples, and was passed by California's voters by a margin of 52 to 48 percent in November 2008 - is unconstitutional. The judge, Vaughn Walker, wrote a blistering opinion, asserting that the defenders of "Prop 8" had not even come close to proving their case - in fact, he dismissed their "expert witness" testimony (consisting of only two witnesses, one of whom was clearly a religious extremist) as totally unreliable.
The judge concluded that Prop 8 violated the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment, which guarantees equal treatment of all citizens. When it comes to marriage, the proponents of Prop 8 want the laws of California to apply unequally to a certain class of citizens - gays and lesbians - and to deny to them the protection the 14th Amendment provides.
Marriage is a fundamental civil right in our country, and it must be available to all our citizens. Fortunately, the generational polling on this issue shows that the country's support of gay marriage is growing and will continue to do so: majorities of people under the age of 50 support gay marriage, and the younger those polled are, the more shoulder-shrugging responses the pollsters receive: essentially, our young people are saying, "So what's the big deal?" (A 2009 CBS News poll found that 64 percent of those 18-45 supported gay marriage, while 46 percent of those over 50 did.) I know that "Who cares?" is the attitude of my three boys, who are 16, 15 and 11 - and it is shared by most of their friends.
Hak-Shing William Tam, an "expert" witness for the pro-Prop 8 side in the case, testified that he is the secretary of the "America Return to God Prayer Movement," which operates a website called "1man1woman.net." His website encouraged support for Prop 8 on the basis that "homosexuals are twelve times more likely to molest children" (a blatantly made-up statistic) and that defeating Proposition 8 would have "cause[d] states one-by-one to fall into Satan's hands" (an eventuality difficult to prove or disprove). When asked for the sources of his information, Tam cited "the Internet." Tam's testimony was quickly discredited by the judge - the obvious point being that fringe religious beliefs cannot determine laws or social policy.
another issue here is that of states rights. Many people supported Prop 8 because they claimed it was an issue of states rights - as in each individual state has the right to make it's own laws. The idea is that should the people of California choose to discriminate against their non-heterosexual citizens, the authority of the state and the people of that state should exceed the authority of the federal government. President Lincoln had something to say about the idea of states rights. With the Civil War and again with the Emancipation Proclamation he made it abundantly clear that the federal government trumps states rights. And today, the tea party idiots are gathering in front of the Lincoln Memorial champion States Rights among other things. They just don't get it.
It is in the best interests of all our children, including those currently raised by committed same sex couples, that they be able to solidfy their unions as easily as any other couple.
There are children out there who if Mom 1 were to die, instead of naturally living with Mom 2 have to fight with disapproving grandparents in courts for custody of their children!
France decided on a middle ground; they "preserved" marriage by creating civil unions for EVERYONE. If you choose a religious ceremony after that point, up to you and your church. But the state protections are in place. If we really want to fight about a word then we just give every new couple a civil union with all the rights due any couple at the federal and state level. In some ways that will be easier, it gets around the state laws defining marriage without having to strike down each one in court.
I agree both with your excellent article & scwelty. I'm similarly a 30yo mama, but my 11yo daughter is a bit different. She doesn't swoon over Justin Bieber, she kind of looks like him. Her hair is quite short, she wears tight sport bras, board shorts, A-line undershirts, baggy t-shirts, and the new Fresh Collection from Old Spice. Other days, she wears skirts & scarves.
She believes Women of Color are soooo beautiful (we're both blond w/ green eyes). I have certain...suspicions about my tween and her budding preferences. I've had her mistaken for a boy on multiple occasions, she doesn't mind. Angry grizzly bear doesn't even begin to describe my attitude when she's questioned on her fashion selections. Whatever her inclinations, she's my daughter, I love her & I'll support her. All I've ever wanted is for her to be happy being herself in her own skin. What parent doesn't want that?
What a great article. I have a three-year old son and am right at 30 myself and have that "who cares" attitude about this debate...meaning that I believe marriage is a commitment between two individuals and who are we to care ot judge who those two happen to be. If my son decides he should be with a man, so be it. I would hope he's happy and that his husband would be someone I can love, too. Marriage can have a religious meaning and if a particular faith says they can't perform that sacrament for couples that aren't man/woman, I can live with that. But, the state is dabling too close to religion with this issue and needs to protect marriage as the civil right it defines for everyone regardless of persuasion. I have to think that it is healthier for society as a whole if we get to love and live with whomever we choose and chooses us and that civil society needs to support that end. Additionally, if marriage is simply a means to procreate and we are going to be basing laws on this, we should take this to its logically ridiculous end and propose laws that require unmarried couples (including high school children, why not?) to marry if they end up procreating outside marriage.

People in everyday life who through the needs and demands of their times shaped the world. I believe each day is a gift and the best part of any day is that day. I'm also a professional musician and have shared the stage with many named artists. In addition, I'm a vintage guitar expert have contributed, plus co-wrote for many vintage guitar books and articles in Vintage Guitar magazine about the subject.

Thank you for researching this man. He is a relative of mine that we always knew about but could not flesh out his military career. My Fathers records were also lost in the Missouri fire but he had enough things left over from his service that we could put it together. We had always visited his grave in Jasper IN but did not know much about his military history. My grandson is also grateful as he is a Civil War buff at 9. Thanks again.

Thank you for your research my uncle. He married Sarah Patten, my 4th great aunt from Hancock County Maine, 1846.
Since you are CA, have you means to find missing relatives? I have been trying to find Isaiah Jesse Abbott, Jr. who was married to Stella Petersen Abbott Munning...they divorced and he lived with his sister Blanche Wardwell, but suddenly disappeared. All in CA area. No trace of him. Is this the kind of research you do, or do you know who does? Thanks. JF

For four days in June 1864, Union troops commanded by General David Hunter occupied the small Shenandoah Valley town of Lexington, the home of the Virginia Military Institute. The federal forces, about 18,000 strong, entered the town on the afternoon of June 11. Although their arrival had been briefly delayed by the resistance of a small cavalry force led by General John McCausland, a VMI graduate and former faculty member, the Confederate troops were greatly outnumbered and were soon forced to retreat. The VMI Corps of Cadets, having only recently returned to VMI after their participation in the Battle of New Market on May 15, were also ordered to retreat; they camped near the top of the Blue Ridge Mountains, about two miles from Balcony Falls, on the night of the 11th.
There were no civilian or military casualties as a result of this occupation. However, VMI was both the site of a state arsenal and a military training school, and the Institute was considered to be a legitimate military target. On June 12, Hunter ordered the burning of VMI. The cadet Barracks (at left) and two faculty residences were extensively damaged, and other Institute property--most importantly the valuable library, laboratory and scientific equipment--was destroyed. The troops also removed the Institute's statue of George Washington, which was taken to Wheeling, West Virginia as a trophy of war; it was returned in 1866. The Union forces left on June 14, marching over the mountains to Lynchburg.
Following these events, the Corps of Cadets was furloughed while officials examined various plans for reopening the school. Because of extensive damage to the buildings, library, and supplies, Gen. Smith and the VMI Board of Visitors decided that is was not feasible to bring the cadets back to Lexington. In December 1864, academic work resumed at the Alms House in Richmond, which became VMI's temporary headquarters. The Corps remained in Richmond until the war ended in April 1865. VMI reopened in Lexington in October 1865.
In addition to documents found in the official records of the Virginia Military Institute, this page features many other resources, including accounts of the events written by Union and Confederate soldiers, and citizens of Lexington. Unless otherwise noted, all full-text documents are from the collections in the VMI Archives.

Temecula high schools may ditch health class requirements
Last year, the Temecula Valley Unified School District converted previously required computer essentials sections into elective courses. Now, the district is considering doing the same with its high school health and geography courses, prompting concern from some health teachers that students will miss out key lessons they'll need throughout their lives.
With an eye on freeing up students' schedules to take other classes, from band to AVID to advanced courses, the governing board will consider the proposed changes during its meetingi at 6 p.m. Tuesday at the district office, 31350 Rancho Vista Road.
"The health teachers' standing on this point is they need this information," said Kurtis Tegman, who teaches five sections of health at Great Oak High School. "By state mandate, our kids have to be taught about (sexually transmitted diseases) and AIDs and certain things to maintain basic health. If they aren't taught these things, they might just shrug their shoulders and say it must not be too hard to stay healthy."
Tegman is quick to reference recent Riverside County statistics in defense of keeping health courses required at the high school level.
According to the county's Community Health Profile, Riverside County residents eat more fast food, smoke more often, are more likely to be overweight and generally live less healthier lives than other Californians. So Tegman said now is no time to cut back on health requirements simply to open up students' schedules to take other classes.
"I understand the district is graduating more and more students that do these upper-level things," Tegman said. "But some of our students still will get jobs as mechanics and plumbers. ... They may very well do their job well, but they might die at an early age because they don't know how to take care of themselves."
District officials, however, maintain that the necessary skills would be folded into other classes if the board approves the staff recommendations to eliminate both one-semester courses, which are typically taken by freshmen.
For example, geography requirements would be folded into the six other required social sciences/history classes, while the health requirement would be folded into other physical education and science classes, such as biology.
Current state standards require students be taught about HIV/AIDS prevention once in middle school and once in high school.
By cutting an entire course off the requirements, the district would free up students' schedules to take other electives. As it stands now, schedules are so packed that about 10 percent of the district's students opt to fulfill their health requirements during summer school or through outside vendors such as online schools or community colleges, said Andree Grey, director of curriculum, instruction and assessment.
Oftentimes, she said, it's at the students' expense.
"It's impeding some of their choices," Grey said. "Our drive is to provide as many opportunities as possible so students can find their niche and move in the right direction as they see fit."
As far as any educational shortcomings, Grey said key health lessons will be taught in other required classes or through other various on-campus programs, if they haven't been relayed already at the elementary and secondary school levels.
She noted that the board unanimously approved ditching computer essentials requirements in June because technology is weaved throughout many of the district's courses and because students already possessed proficiency in the subject.
"A lot of the information is available in a multitude of classes," Grey said of the district's health and geography classes. "We still have nutrition classes and PE classes … and developmental psychology classes. Along the way, high schools do have a variety of student-led activities that deal with health issues that are relevant today."

Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities Release
ATLANTA - More than 1200 supporters gathered at the Capitol steps to celebrate the 15th Annual Disability Day at the Capitol. Frank Berry, Commissioner for the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD), joined the Georgia Council on Developmental Disabilities (GCDD) as well as Governor Nathan Deal and other advocates to address this year's theme, "What's Your Connection?"
Commissioner Berry acknowledged supporters holding signs that read, "We are just people," and stated, "You know I disagree. You are not just people. You are awesome people." He also praised DBHDD's team for moving more than 900 people off the short-term planning list since July 1, 2012. The short-term planning list is comprised of individuals with developmental disabilities who are waiting for supports through the NOW and COMP waivers.
"People who were in desperate need of services have gotten services, but we will do better," said Commissioner Berry. "Your voices are being heard, but we need to do even more in that building behind me,"
he said referring to the Capitol. "We have never had a governor and a legislature that have been more supportive of what we are trying to accomplish. We need to take advantage of this day."

I love a good party. It's a chance to dress up, perhaps in something you wouldn't usually wear, have a few laughs and get totally smashed. On second thought, you never want to be that person at the party who ends up seeing their drunken escapades on YouTube. And, I'm not speaking from experience. Pinky swear.
Anyway, some of the ballers on the ATP and WTA tours put on their party best (or worst, in some cases) for last night's BNP Paribas Open Player Party held at the IW Club. Let's have a look.
|Novak Djokovic: Dayum. Oh right. I actually love the monochromatic look here. It helps to dress up the casual but very classic look. Great navy suede bucks to break it up.
Click on the headline for more looks from last night's bash!
|Rafael Nadal: Ugh. Sorry Rafanatics. Pillory me now. And whoever styles Rafa. He always does the blazer thing, and nothing ever seems to fit him well when he gets dressed up. Don't get me started on the hair.
|David Ferrer: Cool field jacket on the Spaniard.
|David Nalbandian: YUM. He's got his sexy on tonight.
|James Blake + John Isner: ...And they clearly don't. Word of advice boys: Two bad outfits don't equal a good one.
|Juan Monaco: Love, love, love. So cute. Fits him like a glove.
|Tomas Berdych + Ester Satarova: Ester looks HAWT. Big Berd has seen better days. Like here.
|Sam Querrey + Emily McPherson: Sammy got himself a cute one! Emily's not too bad either.
|Richard Gasquet: iLike.
|Kevin Anderson: She looks fine. He needs a comb.
|Viktor Troicki + Suncica Travica: I'm obsessed with her name. OBSESSED. That's about it here.
|Alexandr Dolgopolov: Like Viktor, there's not much to say about Dolly. But his friend's look is super cute. Just drop the purse for the photo op next time.
|Victoria Azarenka + Redfoo: I'm going to skip the outfits because I don't have enough room in this caption. But Vika's hair looks amazing. Phew.
|Ana Ivanovic: For me, I always prefer her more as NaturAna. All this 'stuff' hides her beauty. In any case, great shoes and jacket.
|Angelique Kerber: "Quick, hop in the station wagon so we can get the kids to soccer practice!"
|Dominika Cibulkova + Petra Kvitova: No. Yes.
|Ursula + Agnieszka Radwanka: Sister love!
|Sloane Stephens: This girl gets it. Fresh, youthful, stylish, mega-watt smile. LOVE.
Who's your fave and not-so-fave from last night's event?

Forget oysters and powdered rhino horn; improving your sex life is a lot simpler than tracking down esoteric—not to mention mostly unproven—aphrodisiacs. In fact, you're probably eating many of the vitamins and nutrients that support a robust sex life right now, just not in sufficient quantities.
"One of the best things you can do to ensure a healthy sex life is to eat a well balanced diet," says Beverly Whipple, PhD, RN, professor emeritus at Rutgers University and co-author of Science of Orgasm and The Orgasm Answer Guide.
These diet dos and don'ts will not only improve your romantic life, they'll improve your overall health as well.

Preparing Body Work Patiently - Prepping For Perfection - Paint & Body SpecialWritten by on March 1, 1999 The Secret Is Cleanly Patience
Twenty-five years ago, I reduced my roadster to a pile of parts. The old beater had given me nine years of near-perfect service, and I was rewarding her with a new paint job. I wasn't doing this restoration in a vacuum, either. Dick "Scritch" Scritchfield was my mentor and right hand. And it was he who said, "Too many rodders spend too much money on mechanical assemblies and not nearly enough time on the car's visual impact." So I took his advice. I left the car mechanically unchanged and lavished my huge $3,000 budget on bodywork, painting, chroming, and, finally, a trim job. To this day, I've never regretted doing it his way.
Thanks to Scritch, I've become increasingly aware of the importance of body fit and finish. It's true that Rat rods are crude, but they're supposed to be. On the other hand, today's Pro-builts must exhibit concours detail. One of the secrets behind Boyd Coddington's success has been how well he finishes a car. Moreover, the man who truly appreciates Coddington's influence on fit and finish is none other than Hershel "Junior" Conway, perhaps the finest car painter in the country.
Junior got his nickname during his 16th year when he, the junior member of the George and Sam Barris staff, began pushing a broom around their Lynwood, California, shop. And it was he who has gained national fame as the guy who does $64,000 paint jobs and a well-deserved reputation as being an unabashed, anal-retentive perfectionist. No car-be it a rod, custom, classic, or tea bagger-leaves his shop unless it's flawless... and I can attest to that.
To Junior there is but one path to a superb paint job. It's called patience. Patience to correctly prepare a body. Patience to prime, sand, and re-prime again. Patience to spend 400 hours rubbing on a tube frame or cutting convoluted body reveals or doorjambs. Although we too have the patience, we lack the space to teach readers how to prep for perfection. Please consider this a sample of the various pre-painting steps Junior takes to create an award-winning paint job.

Once the metalwork is completed, Albert Godoy wipes the surface clean with a solvent-like metal prep to remove all impurities, including rust, corrosion, dirt, and dust; then he dry-sands the surface with 220-grit paper. Finally, he washes the metal with lacquer thinner.The surface is then coated with an acid-etching primer (such as DuPont's 625S VariPrime). This coating promotes primer adhesion and is mist-coated after each sanding when the metal is exposed. Note that the metal is still visible after Tom Mayfield applies a mist coat.Next, three coats of heavy-build catalyzed primer (like 3+1 Sikkens) are applied using a top-feed gun set at 35-40 psi. Each coat is allowed to flash off (10-15 minutes between coats) and is then permitted to air dry (two-three days) after the third coat.The initial dry-sanding is done with long and short boards and 80-grit sandpaper using a crisscross pattern and just enough hand pressure to keep the paper on the surface without gouging. Sanding stops after all the high spots (metal showing) are brought up.A second round of priming-surface etcher followed by three coats of heavy-build primer-is applied, allowed to air dry, and then re-sanded (dry) with 80 grit. Persistent low spots are partially filled with a glazing putty and then re-sanded with 80 grit. This hard-surface primer fills all the surface imperfections.A third priming-using a surface etcher (if needed) and three coats of heavy primer-is applied, given the proper drying time, block-sanded with 80 grit with no metal showing, and then primed for a fourth time. The final fourth coat (dry-sanded with 100-grit paper) is given one month to dry (six months would be ideal) to allow the catalyzed primer to come to a fully cured state and shrink.After the fourth coat goes on and is sanded and air dried, Junior applies two additional wet-sanded color-build coats. It's easier to sand, and it is color coded-red primer for red paint, blue primer for blue paint. Sanding these color-build coats begins with 220 grit and ends with 360 grit, backed up by various sanding blocks and rubber squeegees.Unfortunately, Junior didn't have a car in the color-build stage when these photos were taken, so we faked it using Dan Houck's customized '50 Ford, which was waiting for its final dry-sanding prior to the color-build stage. During the final sanding, Junior uses a brush and solvent to remove the tailings that flow into driprails and vent openings. One trick is to sand as parallel to the edge as possible.
Junior takes extreme care when using contrasting guidecoats, the primer itself, and correct sanding techniques to create these crisp lines and equal gaps...

Is there anyway to get replacement parts for this knife. The handle and metal end cap somehow came off while diving. I love the knife but now its useless because it wont stay in the case properly without the handle.

Is this a good qualite knife? I will be diving in the florida keys and im debating between this knife and the xs scuba titanium dive knife for about $129 bucks. From a profestional standpoint, which knife should i get?
Purchased this knife for my daughter, she loves it, an excellent knife. I was asked by someone considering buying one whether it is a full tang or partial. Would love to give them a truthful . Your help will be appreciated, thanks.
greetings 2-questions please. 1-is this model knife solid in terms of feel and noise, no rattle or looseness in handle to blade or knife in sheath? 2-on the pummel end, is the very butt-end flat and smooth so as to be used for hammering a nail (in emergency)? picture doesn't show pummel end. thanks
Not a question but a comment. I bought two of these knives a few years ago for my daughter and I and they are fantastic! We have used them in the Great Lakes, Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. I posted a question about replacement parts and received a response right away. Next thing I know, I receive an order notice for my lost part (at no cost). Talk about great service! Thank you!!!!!
How does this knife release from its sheath. Ive found some release mechanisms hard to find/ feel with gloves on. I like the release on the XS scuba titanium but its out of my budget
Is the yellow colored knife a fully yellow handle or does it just have a yellow stripe like in the picture? The bright color is a good idea, but a fully yellow handle isnt the most appealing.
I know they say the Titanium knives are very sharp but once it does need to be sharpened is it possible or easy, can you use a regular sharpener to sharpen it?
Could you mount this on a bcd or would you have to have a leg strap for this knife?
Hello Tyler, no this is not a knife you would mount to your BCD. This is considered a large knife and does not have the option to mount to a BCD. If you are looking to mount your knife, take a look at: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-30/024133/Scuba-Titanium-BC-Knife.html. This knife would be the one you are looking for if you want to mount it to your BCD.
The Scuba Titanium Dive Knife by Scuba.com is the primary tool every diver should have underwater to assist in clearing entangling obstructions such as kelp or monofilament fishing line that can ensnare a diver. All too often discarded or lost fishing nets look harmless enough until the diver gets close and their fins or gear gets entangled in it on the seafloor. In these cases the Line Cutter and a good Serrated Edge become important features. Secondary to these a metal butt cap that can act as a tank banger and is an extremely useful feature when a diver needs to get the attention of a buddy who has strayed a bit too far.
The Scuba Titanium Dive Knives offered by Scuba.com meet these needs perfectly. The blade is constructed entirely from Titanium for superior corrosion resistance, light weight and strength. It boasts a 12.7cm blade length and an over-all length of 25.4cm with the addition of the comfortable handle with lanyard attachment point. With a serrated edge that is perfect for sawing through anything that may obstruct the diver and with a line cutter edge the diver will never have to worry about entanglements. Added to these features is the solid metal butt cap designed to allow the diver to make more than enough noise to attract the attention of the divers around him or her.
The knife is kept secure to the diver's leg and ready for use with a single action, locking system sheath that allows the diver to remove and replace the knife easily and quickly with one hand and two included depth-compensating leg straps.
Dive knives are something most instructors don't spent a lot of time explaining to their students. Normally the topic is sped past during the equipment portion of a class as something everybody should have with possibly a sprinkling of "why" in terms of safety. Most dive classes are more interested in the exciting gear we all want to learn about such as a regulator or bcd, figuring we all know what a knife does. All too often we as consumers purchase the most inexpensive knife we can, find simply to have one strapped to our bcd or legs, only to find later on we've not purchased what we'd hoped to.
Stainless steel corrodes even with the best of care, and typically doesn't hold enough of an edge to cut air, let alone much of anything else. Mini knives are inexpensive and a bit less cumbersome when mounted to your gear as opposed to your leg, but if you are diving in conditions requiring 3mm or thicker gloves, gripping one can be a challenge as our loss of dexterity through a layer of neoprene makes them difficult to use.
The Scuba Titanium Dive Knife takes into account everything a diver should need to concern themselves with when considering which piece of equipment to choose. It has a very comfortable hand grip that allows for a secure grasp of the knife even with thick cold-water gloves on. At its base is a large metal butt-cap that is terrific for using as a tank banger to get or keep the attention of a dive buddy or class. A hole drilled in the end of the hand grip allows the diver to use a lanyard or possibly mount some sort of retaining device to the knife if you are in an environment where losing it is going to be an issue. I'm not a huge fan of a lanyard on my knife, as I feel it is just another thing dangling from my gear to get fouled on the reef, or me or what ever, but I am sure there are situations where it would be a very handy feature to have. The titanium construction of the knife will help eliminate corrosion concerns and hold an edge very well, a fact I've all too painfully found out myself a time or two. The blade has every feature that a diver should deem important. It has a very sharp straight edge, but more importantly the other side has a serrated edge that runs nearly the entire length of the blade. This edge is much more functional when used under water and is a MUST for any good dive knife. The final blade feature that is something every dive knife should have is the line cutter. The perfect tool for slicing through mono-filament fishing line or pesky kelp strands. The knife is available in a blunt or pointed tip depending upon your preference.
Included with the knife is a very sturdy, hard plastic sheath that is secure but allows for easy one-hand removal of the knife and 2 leg straps. All in all, one of the best values for your money in a dive knife. If you want a knife that is strong, sharp, won't corrode and is a real piece of scuba equipment then the Scuba Titanium Dive Knife should be your first and only choice.

|Local hospital board sees short agenda
|Written by Chris Lee
East Phillips County Hospital District board members met for a short regular meeting Tuesday, April 24. Having spent eight and a half hours in a work session leading up to the meeting, the agenda was kept short.
A facilitated retreat was held to discuss and review data regarding the master facilities planning.
Grant received for quality improvement
A Small Hospital Improvement grant was used by MMH to bring a representative, Beth Katzenberg, Edm, MBA, CPHQ, from Colorado Foundation for Medical Care out for a quality systems analysis. She reviewed policies, medical staff process and quality improvement and how it is performed on departmental and organizational levels.
The representative also reviewed the balance scorecard and board quality committee. A report will now be generated that will be received and reviewed. MMH administrator John Ayoub noted this is something the hospital wasn't required to do but felt it was important enough to spend the grant money on.
The administrator said they hope for a good review but know there is always room for improvement.
Katzenberg also gave a presentation to the huddle group and board quality committee.
A process mapping section was also performed where a group of employees met in the board room to go over steps of different processes. The admission process was one of the examples they looked at, and they mapped out the role of each person involved.
This helped them see areas where improvement can be focused on and how this will transition into the new electronic medical records once they are up and running.
Video personnel visit site in preparation for recruitment video
Ayoub said an employee with the video company hired to make a recruitment video visited the hospital recently. MMH has contracted with IMG (Integrated Media Group LLC) to come up with a video to help with the Grow Our Own Physician Task Force.
A few interviews were done with staff members as well as community members, and they were shown around town.
Administrator reports activity
Ayoub reported Marcia Mankin has taken on more of an administrative role in the form of a support role for nursing at MMH. He also mentioned Sheila Robinson has taken over as nursing supervisor in the clinic.
The administrator spoke about the provider fee. MMH runs on a fiscal year that doesn't run congruent to the state fiscal year. The state fiscal year begins Oct. 1 and ends Sept. 30, while MMH runs on normal calendar year.
MMH has been receiving payments under the 2011 provider fee model since October. Once the 2012 fee was approved, hospitals were trued up to the 2012 model. MMH was receiving less with the 2011 model than they were with the 2012 model, so Ayoub wanted to inform board members where a chunk of money came from that was reflected in the financial statement.
Ayoub mentioned Dr. Michael Lahey is leaving Banner Health and will no longer be coming to Holyoke to offer his orthopedic clinic after this summer. MMH will look to find someone, whether it be through Banner or another group, to fill the vacancy.
A new monthly record of 30 was set for ultrasounds performed since records began in June 2010 when the new machine was purchased.
The report for Melissa Memorial Hospital Foundation was given, and it was noted the capstone and time capsule at the clock tower located in the southwest part of the parking lot is in place.
It was also reported executive director Cherrie Brown has agreed to stay on board until a replacement is found. MMHF continues to search for a replacement to fill the position.
Other business
In other business April 24, board members:
—held a 17-minute executive session for negotiations.
—received the audit report from Rick Steen of Eide Bailly, LLP.
—noted the next board meeting will be held Tuesday, May 22 at 5:30 p.m.

text: I noticed that it states in the documentation for the isync connector that iCal calendars are not synced with calendars subscribed to from the web client. Is this a restriction that will be removed in the future? In our case, we have several users with iCal on Mac clients as well as thin client users (which will rapidly grow) that access the calendars via a web interface (then also throw in mobile users with Treo's and WM). What I'm hoping to get to is a consistent calendar view where calendars can be viewed / updated from all of these devices. Any thoughts on this?

Marines reset training for the next war
TWENTYNINE PALMS, Calif. The U.S. military spent the last decade fighting entrenched insurgencies in Iraq and Afghanistan. What will the next war be like? Will it involve desert, mountains or jungle? An enemy who speaks Farsi or Korean? A national army fighting with tanks, or guerillas planting homemade bombs?
It is impossible to know. While future wars remain unseen over the horizon and budget woes squeeze the military budget, the Marine Corps is resetting its combat training to get back to the basics and play to its strengths.
The changes are evident at the Twentynine Palms Marine combat center. The vast base in the Mojave Desert about 175 miles northeast of San Diego hosts the "Super Bowl" of Marine training, a monthlong exercise that is usually the final stop for battalions deploying overseas.
Now, as the flow of Marines heading to Afghanistan dwindles, the program is being rebooted toward more universal war-fighting skills. Contingency funding for role players that make combat training more realistic for the Afghanistan theater is also diminishing, prompting a cut in half of the 950 actors the base used to employ.
The Integrated Training Exercise, or ITX, that debuted in January includes a longer, more challenging final live fire combined arms exercise. For units not destined for Afghanistan, some of the time spent on occupation duties and counterinsurgency is redirected to a more substantial defense after a preliminary attack.
As its name indicates, the exercise also demands a more intricate synchronization of ground, air and logistics combat elements, with operations dispersed over multiple sites at Twentynine Palms and even other bases hundreds of miles away.
Col. Andrew Kennedy, director of the Tactical Training and Exercise Control Group at Twentynine Palms, said the exercise will continuously evolve as the Corps better understands new threats and incorporates real-time lessons learned to refine its response, just as the 1970s-era Palm Field Exercise morphed into the Combined Arms Exercise and eventually Enhanced Mojave Viper, which was lighter on conventional warfare and Cold War-era tank battles, heavier on dodging civilians and sipping tea with tribal sheiks. It had its last run in September.
"We don't know what the next mission will exactly look like. We can't know. So we have to provide the building blocks," Kennedy said.
The essentials of warfare don't change much, despite advances in tactics, weaponry and other technology, or differences in terrain, he added: "You have to be able to employ your weapons systems. You have to be able to have a plan which coordinates all your efforts, to put the point of focus where it will do the most good. The skills these guys learn out here can translate to any environment."
Combat training
The 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment, an infantry battalion based at Camp Pendleton preparing to deploy this spring to the Pacific and Arabian Sea as a Marine Expeditionary Unit, is training at Twentynine Palms in the first ITX. About 4,000 troops participated in the exercise, which ends with an after-action review on Feb. 8.
After training in smaller units, the battalion had a chance to put everything together for the combined arms climax of the exercise last week, from manned and unmanned aviation support, to artillery, tanks, and the logistics supply train of bullets, food and fuel.
The Marines were ordered to assault three objectives in "Azanistan," in a stretch of scrub desert flanked by hills in the Quackenbush area of the base. A full moon was setting over the frigid, pre-dawn darkness when the infantrymen began rolling up their sleeping pads and pulling on their packs.
Snow covered the mountains in the distance, just as it did when Lance Cpl. Keith Devries, 21, of Fort Smith, Ark., served in Afghanistan. He burrowed into two sleeping bags, layered in two sweatshirts, a jacket, two beanies and a neck gator over his uniform. But it wasn't enough.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mari047 This product exceeds my expectations. This scone mix is so easy to make and it is so good. This just hits all my sweet spots in my mouth. December 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Provence Amazingly great tasting scones and so easy to make! The coconut in this scone mix is subtle but very flavorful and the chocolate chips are plentiful but a perfect accompaniment to the coconut. As always, the Sticky Finger scones are more moist than most scones and a breeze to make. You can have a batch of warm scones on the breakfast table within 20 minutes of opening the mix package ... not bad, I'd say! April 15, 2013

Why it's perpetuated: At first blush,
social media feels like a cheap and powerful bullhorn. It is, but don't be
surprised when blasting messages in one direction--from you to them--only
generates a trickle of traffic. The trick is to get people involved, and keep
them involved.
Action plan: Since the dawn of retail,
sweepstakes and giveaways have been a great hook. For ideas, query [your
social network of choice] + contest or sweepstakes or giveaways
on Google. Maybe you'll read about how a computer store sold more laptops by
holding a contest for free iPads that required people to make their entry on
the store's Facebook page. Formulate a similar marketing campaign that fits your
niche. If you have a bakery, you could hold a contest for free customized
birthday cakes by requiring participants to enter on your Facebook page. Voila!
Not only have you scared up more customers, you also have an instant focus
group to test your cakes and other goodies.

MPAA Rating: PG 13

Genre: Drama, Period, Romance
Fisher Willow is a headstrong young heiress who chafes under the constraints of proper Southern society, and who rebels by asking the impoverished but handsome son of her father's caretaker, Jimmy Dobyne to escort her to the major social events of the season. The relationship is purely a business arrangement at the outset, with Fisher paying for Jimmy's time and attention, but when she discovers that she really loves him, she finds it impossible to re-write the rules and earn the affection she tried to buy.
