Pappy 'Person of Interest' Is High School Principal, Says He's Innocent
Hubbard says he's been wrongly fingered in connection to the theft of many, many fingers of the rare booze.
The case of the missing 65 cases of super-rare Pappy Van Winkle twenty-year bourbon whiskey has not yet been solved, but authorities say that tips came "flooding in" last week after the Franklin County, Kentucky, sheriff's office released surveillance video of a man who allegedly tried to sell a "large amount" of rare Pappy Van Winkle to a liquor store approximately two hours away from the distillery. The man, who was reportedly rebuffed by a store clerk, has now been identified as Chris Pickett, a high school principal.
Through a lawyer, however, Pickett says what everyone has here is a big failure to communicate. He wasn't trying to sell 205 bottles of liquor, but rather just buy one. The Bardstown School District employee was in Hilton Head, South Carolina, on vacation when he learned he was a "person of interest." He says he was just searching to add a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle to his collection and left the store when he was told it didn't have any in stock.
High school principal says he's not involved in Pappy Van Winkle heist [Wave 3]

The Clintons' Saudi-funded library
The story is on page A3 of the Washington Post today and it should come as no surprise: Saudis have been as generous with the Clinton family as they have with the Bushes:
Bill Clinton's presidential library raised more than 10 percent of the cost of its $165 million facility from foreign sources, with the most generous overseas donation coming from Saudi Arabia, according to interviews yesterday.
The royal family of Saudi Arabia gave the Clinton facility in Little Rock about $10 million, roughly the same amount it gave toward the presidential library of George H.W. Bush, according to people directly familiar with the contributions.
The presidential campaign of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) has for months faced questions about the source of the money for her husband's presidential library. During a September debate, moderator Tim Russert asked the senator whether her husband would release a donor list. Clinton said she was sure her husband would "be happy to consider that," though the former president later declined to provide a list of donors.
…A handful of major donors' names to the Clinton library were disclosed in 2004 when a New York Sun reporter accessed a public computer terminal at the library that provided a list of donors. Soon after the article appeared, the list of donors was removed.
The amount of the contribution from Saudi Arabia and several other countries, as well as the percentage of the total given by foreigners, had not been revealed.
The Post confirmed numerous seven-figure donors to the library through interviews and tax records of foundations. Several foreign governments gave at least $1 million, including the Middle Eastern nations of Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, as well as the governments of Taiwan and Brunei.
In addition, a handful of Middle Eastern business executives and officials also gave at least $1 million each, according to the interviews. They include Saudi businessmen Abdullah al-Dabbagh, Nasser al-Rashid and Walid Juffali, as well as Issam Fares, a U.S. citizen who previously served as deputy prime minister of Lebanon.
The Drudge Report is teasing a second strike at the Clinton library donors by the NYT tomorrow. Looks like the Hill-a-copter can't fly high enough to avoid Obama's RPGs.
Meantime, Bill Clinton is saying his Hail Marys. He gave Charlie Rose his assessment of his wife's chances:
"It's a miracle she's got a chance to win."
Hillary approved $165 billion in arms sales to Clinton Foundation donors while working for President Peaceprize

These things seem pretty expensive for what they are. Anybody else agree?

These things seem pretty expensive for what they are. Anybody else agree?
Unless you're a weight-weenie, they're generally not worth it. Then again that predisposes that being a weight-weenie is worth it in the first place but who are we to judge? Everyone has their vices. Yes, they're expensive but again, if you can afford them and you want them then by all means, splurge. Just remember to use Ti-Prep or some other kind of anti-sieze made for use with titanium parts to keep things from getting ugly later on down the line. BTW, one or two bolts here and there is kind of pointless. If you want bragging rights or you actually want to reduce weight then you need to get a whole kit and replace most of your bolts and fasteners.
What about aluminum fasteners? That's where the real weight savings is!
its funny though. I look on ebay and there have entire stores pretty much dedicated to aluminum/titanium bolts and things of the like. To save 1/4 lb, you can easily spend 100 on...bolts
. . . or $2.50 per gallon for gasoline! . . . priorities!
Titanium is expensive to mine, to refine and to form into useable shapes. It's no wonder Ti bolts are so expensive. Are they worth it? For most people, probably not.
1/4lb, that's 112 grams.
Imagine the effort it might take to lose 1/4lb of body weight. $400 for a pound.
or just a good poo right before the ride for almost 1/2lb or $200. Now that's an expensive poo.
I'm so glad that I don't count grams.
:roflmao: *clap*Quote:

I inherited an Al bolt for my front lamp, it works fine and weighs almost nothing.
But imagine the weight saved if you lost 1/4pound of body took a 1/2pound poo before the ride AND 1/4pound of bolt weight, thats a full pound.Quote:

And not only to see how he stacked up against the other candidates, but also make sure this "gay Presidential hopeful" wasn't simply a myth or a fairy tale. Pun intended.

It's not that there isn't color in my yard already. It's just that most of it is green right now. Don't get me wrong. After a long Chicago winter, green is good.
For example, these sedum are green, and that's good. I sure wouldn't want them to be brown at this point.
And this daffodil. It's a vibrant yellow that I can see from across the yard. I can also see it is rather lonely out there. You can't, but I can.
So I decided to assist Mother Nature. I went for instant gratification. I went for painting. Painting certainly qualifies as instant gratification. I love that I can start with something too ugly to photograph and turn it into this in just a few hours, including scraping and priming. Add 15 more minutes and you'd have seen a finished product here. But I'm going to leave that for your imagination. Just know that it did turn out lovely. Mike and I got that fence on our honeymoon many years ago, and I wasn't going to let the ravages of time take that memory away from me.
If you want the instant gratification of painting something fully, you are gonna have to do that yourself. I can help though. From a distance that is. And rather figuratively. None-the-less, I can definitely help.
We'll call this technique 'Painting Renee Style'. Renee wasn't really here to paint with me, nor have I ever remotely had anything to do with both Renee and painting together. But I know Renee. Rather, I knew Renee. Back in high school. Suffice to say that was a long time ago. A time when we were majorettes and we had these basic white blouses under our cute little purple jumpers with the big gold 'S' for Schurz on it. Renee only ironed the part that showed. I didn't get it at the time. I get it now. And I bet she'd be proud of me.
Last week I painted my pantry. And you can bet your ironing board that I only painted the parts of the shelves that show. So please don't lay on my pantry floor and look up. And that red fence, well, if you lay on the ground you'll see that parts of it aren't painted. So don't do that either.
The Renee Style went further than ironing. When we had to do a gym routine to music, she picked the shortest song she could find. And when she designed a majorette routine for us to do on the football field, we each got to do a solo baton toss during 'One is the Loneliest Number'. Easier for her and fun for us. Ok, it was actually scary for us, but I can't admit that.
Mother Nature shouldn't be needing my help much longer to decorate the outside in brilliant color. Till then, I'll enjoy small pleasures like this crocus.
Maybe not these green weeds in the dahlia garden.
I enjoyed fresh green chives on a baked potato last night. Yep, green is a good color.

Deja Vu in Summer 2012 Spells Trouble for the Dollar
The dollar's latest rally is over.
With global economic data showing signs of slowdown, the Federal Reserve is ever-so-close to moving toward a third round of quantitative easing, a program where it acquires long-term securities with newly created money. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke recently hinted that the central bank could take further action, and if history is any indication, his comments could be the first step toward a slide in the dollar.
The Fed has already completed two rounds of QE, the first launched in late 2008 and the second in late 2010. Both times, a downward pattern emerged for the dollar. Using the new Wall Street Journal Dollar Index to get a broad measure of the dollar's value, expect the 22-month high in the index hit earlier this week to be the peak.
As a guide, here's how the dollar moved in 2010 leading up to and just after the Fed's second round of quantitative easing:
--The dollar hits a 15-month high in June 2010. The WSJ Dollar Index peaks at 78.882 on June 6, 2010. The dollar's big rally comes on the heels of new fears about a brewing debt crisis in Europe.
--The index falls through early August before climbing again in mid- to late August.
--The WSJ Dollar Index's August 2010 peak comes on Aug. 24, just a couple of days before the Federal Reserve's annual Economic Policy Symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyo.
--Mr. Bernanke says the Fed is considering a second round of bond purchases among other options to bolster the economy during a speech at the symposium. The dollar trades erratically for a couple of days before settling into a steady decline in anticipation of the program, which will add to the supply of greenbacks in the market.
--The Fed formally announces plans for "QE2" on Nov. 3.
--The WSJ Dollar Index bottoms Nov. 4 at 67.546, a 14% drop from the 15-month high hit in June and down 9% from the August high just before the Jackson Hole summit.
Fast forward to today. The WSJ Dollar Index hit a 22-month high at 72.85 on Tuesday. Europe is embroiled in a debt crisis. Greece is still a worry as it was in 2010 but now, so too is Spain.
With history as a guide, look for the dollar's value to drop especially fast if the Fed ramps up talk of further easing measures either at its upcoming July 31-Aug. 1 policy meeting or at this year's summit in Jackson Hole in late August.
Last week, Mr. Bernanke said during testimony to Congress that there are several options the Fed could consider taking if things get worse, including a new program to buy mortgage-backed or Treasury securities.
If and when Mr. Bernanke lays out a definitive timetable for action, the market will exhaust itself selling the dollar against pretty much everything in anticipation of the start of the program. By the time it actually launches, the move will be priced in and the dollar will likely set up for another rally.

Political Philosopher: While the Philosophers of Ancient Greece Were Teaching in Athens, India's Own Great Mind, Kautilya, Was Forming Political Ideas That Would Be Studied Up until the Present Day
Witzel, Morgen, European Business Forum
There is a natural tendency to think of India as an emerging economy. In fact, it is re-emerging, regaining its economic and political strength. India has a tradition of strong domestic businesses. In the 18th century, admiring British officials described the Bengal-based banking house of Jagat Seth as being more powerful than the Bank of England. The country also has a long history of administrative and managerial theory and philosophy-its system of administration and bureaucracy is even thought to predate that of China. One of the founding fathers of this system was Kautilya, the north Indian scholar and soldier, whose works are still read and studied in India today.
Life and works
Very little is known of the life of Kautilya, who is sometimes referred to as Vishnugupta or Canakya. He rose to prominence in the period following Alexander the Great's invasion of northwestern India in 327 BC. When Alexander's army withdrew into Afghanistan and Persia, the princes of the Punjab fought each other for control. One dynasty, the Nandas, seized power briefly, but, in 321 BC, they were overthrown and replaced by the prince Chandragupta Maurya, who had been an ally of Alexander. Kautilya played a prominent role in these events, and is supposed to have engineered the overthrow of the Nandas.
At all events, Chandragupta was a highly successful ruler and established the Mauryan empire, which flourished for several centuries, expanding to cover much of northern India. Kautilya was a prominent minister in the early Mauryan kingdom, and is sometimes described as Chandragupta's guru or teacher, especially in matters of politics and administration. His relationship can be compared to that of plato and Dion of Syracuse, or the Chinese Legalist philosopher Han Feizi and Qin ShiHuangdi, the first emperor of China. He was the thinker who influenced, or fried to influence, the man of action.
Over the course of 20 years, from about 320 to 300 BC, Kautilya wrote, or had written for him-it is not always clear from the texts-a series of what we would today call "white papers" on administration, which were collected together under the title Arthashastra. The work consists of 15 books, each divided into ten chapters of varying length. It is primarily an instructional manual for rulers and administrators, and was used in this capacity by the heirs of Chandragupta up to the end of the Mauryan kingdom.
Many of the chapters deal with technical matters. Book Two considers taxation and sets out the duties of the various administrators of the kingdom. Books Three and Four taken together amount to a fairly complete code of laws with notes on how justice should be administered. Books Nine through to Fourteen are concerned with war. But in other places, notably Books One and Six, Kautilya adopts a more philosophical tone. It is for these works that he is known as India's first political philosopher. Like Machiavelli, to whom he is often compared, Kautilya's thoughts on leadership and organisation remain valid today, and are just as applicable to the world of business as to politics.
Kautilya was writing at an intriguing time and place. India was midway between Europe and Asia, and thanks to Alexander's incursions and increasing trade over the Himalayas from China, India had been exposed to intellectual currents from both the East and West. The influence of Plato-who had taught Aristotle, who was in turn the tutor of Alexander-is clear-Kautilya's discussion of the training of rulers, for example, mirrors parts of The Republic. On the other hand, his stress on the need for rulers to be virtuous reflects the teachings of Confucius, while his chapters on war seem to owe something to Sun Tzu's The Art of War. Still other elements, such as the importance of wisdom in a leader, are common to both Eastern and Western political thought.
Wisdom and leadership
To these influences, Kautilya adds his own contribution: the notion that leadership is a kind of partnership between the sovereign and the people. …

NEW YORK (AP) — Protests against Wall Street are entering their 18th day Tuesday as demonstrators across the country show their anger over the wobbly economy and what they see as corporate greed.
They're marching on Federal Reserve banks and camping out in parks from Los Angeles to Portland, Maine.
Demonstrations are expected to continue throughout the week as more groups hold organizational meetings and air their concerns on websites and through streaming video.
In Manhattan on Monday, hundreds of protesters dressed as corporate zombies in white face paint lurched past the New York Stock Exchange clutching fistfuls of fake money. In Chicago, demonstrators pounded drums in the city's financial district. Others pitched tents or waved protest signs at passing cars in Boston, St. Louis, Kansas City, Mo., and Los Angeles.

Beccles Railway Hotel
previously known as Railway Tavern, Railway inn
55 Station Rd
grid reference TM 425 904
View in Google Earth
CAMRA North-East Suffolk branch.
last updated 13/04/2015
Now a restaurant.
The pub appears on the 1969 OS map but seems to have vanished by the 1982 (and subsequent) sheets, so presumably closed in between.
On the 1st of June 1859 the East Suffolk Railway Line was opened from Ipswich to Lowestoft - the pub probably dates from about that time.
It was recorded in Wellington Street in 1865 (maybe an older name for Station Road?)
A report in the Ipswich Journal** on 26 Oct in 1869 states that :
The licensed Vctuallers Tea Association advertised the sale of tea via its Suffolk Agents. This was a response to the irregular sale of Wine by Grocers and included a reference to L.NEWSTEAD & W. CHURCH of the Railway Tavern, Beccles.
In the East Suffolk Gazette on 29 Aug 1911 the Railway Hotel was reported for sale.
In the Almanack on 8 Feb 1912 the following was reported: "The G.E R. employees in the Way and Works Department have their Annual Dinner at the Railway Hotel, Mr. Youell presiding."

Naps rock. Cat naps!

Well, a 45 min nap turned into a 2 and a half hour nap. I woke up feeling pretty bewildered and a bit rushed, since I had a 3 pm doctor's appointment. But it's like 75 degrees out, sunny, no clouds, and I was cool with it. I just got back, and it's a great day and I'm well rested! Whooooo! Go naps!
Naps rule, man. They rule.
While Koffe was sleeping: poor us, working, I mean posting, away.

I love naps! But I never get to take a nap.
My son takes a nap everyday at 12:30 until about 3:00. I usually also nap at this time. Works for me.
now that i dont have a job any more it is work.
Amen! I had to take my son sometimes in the car, he was so tired that he would wobble standing up, but wouldn't nap, he'd sleep in the car seat just fine. A couple times as soon as he was out, I'd pull into a park under a shade tree, and we'd both be sleeping like babies. You nailed it, grab the winks as soon as you can!Originally Posted by PainTrain

Usually, Sorting Saturday would deal with sorting the (many) piles of paper you have floating around your house, or sorting the (many) folders you have on your computer, or sorting the (many) unlabelled photos you have in (even more) boxes. So I'm going to concentrate on none of that. I think that, in order to be able to even peep through my fingers at the piles, I need to sort myself out first.
I have been ill for the past couple of months, so I haven't blogged at all. And this is the first post I have made - about sorting myself out! I made a page of all the webinars, courses etc which I have attended during 2012 (My 2012 Events), and found a post of mine from December 2010 all about making genealogy goals, so I will repeat my list from there, and add any updates:
# Volunteer to index for FamilySearch
done this, but 'attendance' has become patchy; must improve
# Write this blog more than once a week
progress has become patchy; must improve
# Now I have a Kindle, investigate genealogy books I can acquire (preferably for free)
# Add some more to my family history writing project
ongoing; have acquired copyright permission for cover photo; need to write more
# Write another SFA College of Genealogy course
done - have written five!
# Create a genealogy routine
not done at all
I can add to this list.
# Attend webinars
so far this year I have attended 10, with another 9 planned
# Attend RootsTech
attended via live streaming
# Complete at least one genealogy course
start a Pharos course on Monday 13th August 2012
# Oh, yes, nearly forgot - do some genealogical research on my own family as well!

Thanks for the good wishes, ScotSue. I don't know about 'raring' to go just yet, but I'm thinking about raring... :o)Delete
Well done, I like your list. Sometimes life gets in the way of genealogy and blogging - I've experienced that myself this year. I think you are signed up for the same Pharos course as me - I will look out for you!ReplyDelete
Good luck
If you're looking for some genealogical fiction for your Kindle, In The Blood by Steve Robinson is free today. Well worth paying for in any event.ReplyDelete

How to Create Effective Tweets
The micro blogging phenomenon known as Twitter has become increasingly important as an Internet marketing platform. While it may never completely replace other Internet marketing platforms, it continues to function as a real-time news wire, circulating and reinforcing information found online.
As Twitter continues to grow, people's expectations are growing as well. In addition to becoming a place to socialize and be entertained, more and more people are looking to Twitter as a source of information. This is why small businesses cannot ignore this incredible marketing tool.
Twitter offers an amazing platform for self-promotion. It's simple. People using Twitter want fresh information, regardless of who provides it to them. Sharing information, along with your own unique view, opens the door to self-promotion.
Tweets which are informative or funny will elicit the most reaction, while Tweets that contain dry information, common knowledge or information about what's for dinner will fail.
Sure, Twitter is spontaneous and Tweets should not be over-thought, but in order to make a business's marketing efforts more productive, there are some techniques that should be followed when tweeting.
1. Keep it Simple: With Twitter, it is all about keeping it short, hence the 140 characters. However, if you can say it with even less characters, your followers will definitely appreciate it.
2. Limit the Syntaxes: The overuse of #hashtags and @mentions make Tweets very hard to read. One hashtag or mention can be very useful, any more can be confusing and annoying.
3. Old News is Worthless: On Twitter, news gets old fast… really fast. Unless you have something compelling to say about breaking news, don't bother – the world already knows.
4. Provide Some Context: Although Tweets should be kept simple, too simple is a bad idea. Don't just offer up a link to your blog post, news story or picture. People want to know what they are getting themselves into.
5. Be positive: From Twitter to Facebook and everything in between, nobody likes negative sentiments. Try and stay as positive as possible.

Superb! My family was getting tired of chicken. For 5 points, you get a lot of flavor. It did take longer than 1 hour to roast to 165 degrees though
so good i went over points allowed! had with wld rice and spinach. addded a little moe garlic only change made.
great flavor ~ added a bit more garlic and some sage as well. This would be nice for company too!
This is lovely!
More flavorful than chicken, but I think the recipe would work just as well with the junior bird.

Must do betterOctober 21,2013Politics at the national level have seldom been as bitterly partisan as they are now and the cost to the country is intolerably high. Economists have estimated that the recent (and totally unwarranted) shutdown of the federal government, a direct result of this extreme partisanship, cost the United States several billion dollars.
And, as The New York Times pointed out last week, the affiliated damage like the undermining of consumer and business confidence will be far greater, economists said, especially combined with the financial effects of the near-breach of the countrys statutory debt ceiling.
But it need not be that way in Washington, as California has proved. Once a state notorious for its bitter political battles, it now represents a model that other states should examine and, in the interest of good government, copy.
California simply got rid of the gerrymandering the clumsy and often outrageous legislative shaping of political districts to practically guarantee one party or another success at the polls and handed the responsibility for creating district boundaries to a nonpartisan commission.
This years is the first Legislature chosen under the new nonpartisan election system where the top-two finishers in a primary run against each other without party affiliations in a scheme carefully designed to encourage candidates to appeal to a less partisan segment of the electorate.
Also, California voters last year approved an initiative that softened the impact of the stringent term limits that had created a Legislature filled with inexperienced politicians who were inclined to be more interested in the next election than in anything else. The states lawmakers now can serve up to 12 years in either of the Legislatures two houses.
Other states have learned that term limits, a concept particularly popular with voters who are predisposed to distrust their elected representatives, have in effect handed the levers of political power over to savvy lobbyists and to the bureaucracy, where term limits dont apply.
Lately, California has celebrated several previously unlikely legislative successes as a parade of bill signings provided a sharp contrast between the federal shutdown in Washington and a virtually acrimony-free California Legislature enacting laws addressing school financing, immigration, gun control and abortion.
Granted, this is happening under what can only be called one-party rule, as Democrats now control both houses of the Legislature and the governorship. (As recently as three years ago it was the exact opposite, with Republicans in charge of everything.)
But the changes have not generated GOP efforts to stymie the Democratic majority, which has become standard operating procedure in Washington.
You see Republicans voting for immigration reform, you see Democrats voting for streamlining environmental regulations, Dan Schnur, the director of a political institute at the University of Southern California told The New York Times. You never would have seen that before.
Republican Sen. Anthony Canella recently co-sponsored a bill that allows unauthorized immigrants to obtain drivers licenses. Cannellas district was 35 percent Republican when he was elected three years ago but that number now is only 14 percent under district lines drawn by the nonpartisan commission.
Cannella said the redistricting and nonpartisan election changes freed legislators from obedience to their party bases, giving more courage to my Republican colleagues now its not just their base they have to appeal to.
Wed all benefit if similar reforms were adopted for congressional redistricting in all states. As long as state legislatures draw voting districts that give the majority party a guaranteed edge at the polls, well continue to suffer the cost and embarrassment of a dysfunctional Congress. America can do better. America must do better.MORE IN CommentaryThis is my fifth presidential campaign as a New York Times columnist, so Ive watched a lot of...

Is there a way to make windows stop dropping the interface every time a cable comes unplugged? I don't care about those little balloons that pop up when the cable state changes, as annoying as those are. The specific problem is that when a cable is out, while you can still see the network adapter name/properties in the 'Network Connections', the OS seemingly unbinds the IP address from the port, as evidenced by the output of ipconfig.
This wreaks havoc on certain network utilities, such that once the cable is back in place, I then have to go re-tune their settings to get things back to normal. Ideally, the IP address would not evaporate, Windows would just list the interface as 'no link' or something.
This gets especially ugly when it happens on a machine with two nics; for example I only want my TFTP server on one network, but if Windows happens to have taken the IP address away when my TFTP server is started (cable temporarily out), the TFTP server might acquire the IP address of the nic that is up.

A Tallahassee postal worker has been fired, accused of delivering the mail to a dumpster.
The U.S. Postal Service says a passerby noticed the employee throwing more than 500 pieces of mail into the trash.
The Post Office immediately retrieved the mail and fired the postman.
Once the investigation is complete the mail will be delivered to its final destination.
"We are offended by the action of this employee. Postal carriers have a proud tradition of delivering over 682 million pieces of mail a day. It's an entrusted public servant for the American public and action is being taken," said Marlena Hopkins with the U.S. Postal Service.
Tampering with mail is a federal offense. Each count is punishable by up to five years behind bars.

To provide practice recommendations for genetic counselors whose clients are considering cystic fibrosis (CF) carrier testing or seeking information regarding CF molecular test results. The goals of these recommendations are to: 1) Provide updated information about the natural history, diagnosis, and treatment of CF and related conditions. 2) Supplement genetic counselors' knowledge and understanding of the available carrier screening and diagnostic testing options. 3) Describe the current state of genotype/phenotype correlations for CFTR mutations and an approach to interpreting both novel and previously described variants. 4) Provide a framework for genetic counselors to assist clients' decision-making regarding CF carrier testing, prenatal diagnosis, and pregnancy management.
Disclaimer The practice guidelines of the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) are developed by members of the NSGC to assist genetic counselors and other health care providers in making decisions about appropriate management of genetic concerns; including access to and/or delivery of services. Each practice guideline focuses on a clinical or practice-based issue, and is the result of a review and analysis of current professional literature believed to be reliable. As such, information and recommendations within the NSGC practice guidelines reflect the current scientific and clinical knowledge at the time of publication, are only current as of their publication date, and are subject to change without notice as advances emerge.
In addition, variations in practice, which take into account the needs of the individual patient and the resources and limitations unique to the institution or type of practice, may warrant approaches, treatments and/or procedures that differ from the recommendations outlined in this guideline. Therefore, these recommendations should not be construed as dictating an exclusive course of management, nor does the use of such recommendations guarantee a particular outcome. Genetic counseling practice guidelines are never intended to displace a health care provider's best medical judgment based on the clinical circumstances of a particular patient or patient population.
Practice guidelines are published by NSGC for educational and informational purposes only, and NSGC does not "approve" or "endorse" any specific methods, practices, or sources of information.

Community Focused Events
On Jan. 13, 2010, the day after Haiti was hit by an earthquake and aftershocks that shattered the country, American Airlines and American Eagle flew into action, sending humanitarian aid to provide relief for its more than 100 employees who work at Toussaint Louverture International Airport — all of whom, thankfully, survived the earthquake — and to help local hospitals in Port-au-Prince administer help to the many victims.
During the first week following the quake, eight American Eagle aircraft arrived in Port-au-Prince from San Juan, Puerto Rico, carrying 80,000 pounds of humanitarian aid that included water, medical supplies, food and shoes. American Eagle flew ATR-72 aircraft on these missions.
On Jan. 20, American began flying relief missions from its hub in Miami, using Boeing 737 aircraft and transporting evacuees, as determined by the U.S. State Department, on the return flights. On three missions in late January, AA evacuated more than 400 survivors.
American also flew a mission for the U.S. Department of Defense from Miami using a Boeing 767 aircraft, ferrying military personnel and other government officials into Haiti. On the return flight, American evacuated 179 people from Haiti.
In total, American Airlines and American Eagle transported more than 400,000 pounds of aid to Haiti. Together, we have flown 30 relief missions, transporting medical personnel, relief workers and humanitarian supplies, including bottled water, food, medicine and other nonperishable goods.
American and American Eagle are working with more than 30 organizations, including Airline Ambassadors International, the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, the American Red Cross, the Archdiocese of Puerto Rico, Boy Scouts of Puerto Rico, the Haitian Consulate in Miami, UNICEF, Yele Haiti and many more.
One effort of note was conducted by American Eagle and the Sandals Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Sandals Resorts. American helped the AE and Sandals teams coordinate relief flights from San Juan to Haiti three times a week through Feb. 23.
Employees Reach Out to Help Haiti
American Airlines and American Eagle employees around the globe continue to help the people of Haiti. At press time, American's 16 Employee Resource Groups, which reflect a wide range of communities within American's diverse employee population, have raised more than $30,000.
Domestic employees are making donations to the internal American Giving Disaster Relief Fund, to which the American Airlines and American Eagle Family Fund have pledged to make a matching gift of up to $10,000. Employees have donated more than $85,000 to date.
All money raised in January and February through American's Champions for Children program will be donated to Haiti relief efforts. The Champions for Children employee volunteers support the UNICEF Change for Good program at American, in which participating flight attendants and Admirals Club employees ask customers to donate their unused foreign or domestic currency.
The American Airlines Credit Union has set up a special fund and is asking all members, including those who are not AA employees, to make donations through this account, which benefits the American Red Cross. More than $30,000 has been donated since the fund was established on Jan. 16. For more information, call the credit union at (800) 533-0035.
More than 350 American Airlines and American Eagle employees helped answer phones at American's Southern Reservations Office during the star-studded "Hope for Haiti" telethon on Jan. 22 to help celebrities such as George Clooney, Wyclef Jean, Anderson Cooper and Bono raise money for relief efforts. Employees answered 15,000 calls during the telethon, which raised roughly $57 million.
American Helps Customers Help Haiti
On Jan. 14, American's AAdvantage members were offered a one-time award of 250 bonus AAdvantage miles for a minimum donation of $50 to the American Red Cross or 500 bonus miles for a donation of $100 or more through March 31, 2010. As of March 1, more than 12,000 AAdvantage members had donated more than $1.4 million.
Continued Support
American Airlines has served the people of Haiti since 1971 and is committed to continuing to serve them as they rebuild their country. On Feb.19, First Officer Kevin Lambert piloted the first commercial flight into Haiti after the earthquake. Lambert is shown above, proudly waving the Haitian flag before the flight's departure from Miami.

Three college students walk into a bar: a business major, a chemistry major, and an English major. They order drinks and talk about what they will do when they graduate. "I'm going to start a company!" says the business major. "I'm going to get my Ph.D!" says the chemistry major. The English major, meanwhile, catches the eye of the bartender and asks "Hey, you guys have an application I could fill out?"
So goes the standard, tired joke reinforcing the popular prejudice that a degree in English these days is all but worthless when it comes to earning a decent living. Like most clichés, this one is patently false and quite easy to refute. You've probably heard of some of these folks: Toni Morrison, Stephen King, Gordon Sumner (aka, Sting), Conan O'Brien, Barbara Walters, Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Martin Scorsese, Michael Eisner, Hank Paulson, Harold Varmus, Bob Woodward, Dave Barry, Garrison Keillor, Alan Alda, Harrison Ford, Sigourney Weaver, Jodie Foster, Matt Damon, Reese Witherspoon, Paul Simon, Kris Kristofferson, Mark Knopfler, Chris Isaak. All were English majors.
Though perhaps not as wildly successful as the people just mentioned, thousands of other English majors, many SMC grads among them, hold good and rewarding jobs in education, government, and the corporate sector. They're in teaching, the media, information technology, telecommunications, management and administration, human resources, counseling, law, publishing, medicine, financial services, sales and marketing, professional writing, and a host of other fields.
English majors tend to do well in the so-called "real world" because they have acquired a skill set that will never go out of style: the ability to comprehend difficult texts and ideas, to think (self-) critically, to make far-flung cognitive connections, to speak and write clearly and effectively. English might seem like a counter-intuitive choice when so many professions now require highly specialized technical training but that's a short-sighted view; the fundamental capabilities honed in literary studies have reliably proven to be an indispensable basis for all kinds of jobs.
Gainful employment is a vital concern, obviously, but the greatest rewards derived from literary studies are hard to justify to hard-headed pragmatists because they involve the cultivation of imagination and intellect as an end in itself.
For one of the best formulations on the benefits of said cultivation, I defer to David Foster Wallace's near-legendary commencement address at Kenyon College in May, 2005. Therein, Wallace spoke about the natural "default setting" of every human being, i.e., "my deep belief that I am the absolute center of the universe; the realist, most vivid and important person in existence." Fortunately, Wallace's talk did not then devolve into a predictable, sanctimonious lecture "about compassion or other-directedness or all the so-called virtues." For Wallace, escaping the trap of self-centeredness was not a matter of virtue but "a matter of my choosing to do the work of somehow altering or getting free of my natural, hard-wired default setting which is to be deeply and literally self-centered and to see and interpret everything through this lens of self." Wallace went on to observe that the liberal arts teach us how to think, which is "actually shorthand for a much deeper, more serious idea: learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience" (emphasis added). Writer Russell Banks puts it in a slightly different way when he speaks about the crucial need to constantly refine what he calls "the quality of attention."
By and large, American business civilization has always regarded the liberal arts with skepticism, indifference, or outright hostility, i.e., a boutique avocation for starry-eyed idealists. We English majors know differently; that mere affluence is empty without a fully commensurate inner life because an inner life is what makes us genuine human beings. So congrats to current majors, soon-to-be grads, and our many and faithful alums. You chose well.
I hope you enjoy this new edition of the Newsletter.

Colts' Collie returns to full work at practice
INDIANAPOLIS Colts receiver Austin Collie has made it through a full practice, raising hopes he'll play Sunday against Jacksonville.
Collie was hurt Nov. 7 during the first half of a game at Philadelphia. The frightening scene left Collie motionless on the field for about 10 minutes. He missed the next week, then returned against New England and left during the first quarter with concussion-like symptoms. Collie hasn't played since then.
Cornerback Kelvin Hayden, who missed last week's game with a neck injury, returned to practice Wednesday. Running back Joseph Addai did limited work.
Left tackle Charlie Johnson sat out with a chest injury, while left guard Jamey Richard missed practice with a hip injury.

Sarasota was postponed due to rain and will play a doubleheader on June 13th.
Hamilton K's in his first atbat. Joey Votto begins the month of June with a RBI single to the opposite side again.
Durham has the game on milb tv
Votto singles again, he's 2-for-2.
Louisville is up 3-1 in the 6th
Chattanooga is up 2-0 in the 3rd
Lockwood: 3 Innings, 1 Hit, 0 Runs, 1 BB, 3 K
Dayton is up 3-0 in the 7th
Watson: 6 Innings, 4 Hits, 0 Runs, 0 BB, 5 K
Why is Watson still in Dayton? It's not even a challenge for him anymore.
Maybe one of the major league guys can teach him how to "pitch to contact":devil:
Louisville lost 5-4 in the 10th
Votto: 3 for 4 with 3 singles and 2 RBIs
Dickerson: 2 for 4 with 2 singles
Hamilton: 1 for 4 with a double and walk
Chattanooga is down 5-4 in the 8th
Lockwood: 5 Innings, 4 Hits, 3 Runs, 3 BB, 3 K
Medlock: 2 Innings, 3 Hits, 0 Runs, 0 BB, 3 K
Medlock this season: 2.78 ERA, 35.2 Innings, 29 Hits, 11 Runs, 3 BB, 46 K
Dayton won 5-2
Watson: 6.1 Innings, 4 Hits, 1 Run, 1 BB, 5 K
DeJesus: 1 Inning, 2 Hits, 1 Run, 0 BB, 0 K
J. Rojas: 1.2 Innings, 0 Hits, 0 Runs, 1 BB, 3 K
Stubbs: 0 for 4 with 4 Ks
Heisey: 1 for 3 with a single and walk
Cabrera: 2 for 4 with 2 singles
Parker: 0 for 2 with a walk and RBI
Conine and/ or Hatteberg need to be moved. This team is going no where and Votto is the future. He is accomplishing nothing by dominating in Triple A.
Chattanooga won 7-6
Is Homer pitching tomorrow?

Local Angels Help Seniors Beat the Holiday Blues
Many of us love the hustle and bustle of the holiday and all the festivities that come with it. But for the aging population, holidays can be one of the most depressing times of the year as they pine for lost loved ones and yesteryear. That's why Visiting Angels, one of the largest in-home senior care companies in the nation (with a location in our area), wants to raise awareness that local families can hire an "angel" this holiday season to help their beloved senior beat the holiday blues.

American imperialism in the postwar Pacific was expressed most clearly during the post–1945 diplomatic negotiations between the great powers over the future disposition of conquered and colonial territory. Between 1945 and 1947, American officials made it clear that the United States wanted a free hand to dictate the future strategic-political framework of the Pacific Basin. In addition, these negotiations illustrated a number of points about American attitudes toward the United States' wartime allies and its wartime rhetoric about postwar great power cooperation and collective security.
One, postwar relations illustrated the very low level of confidence which many American policymakers and planners had in the UN. Conditioned by the perceived failures of the Treaty of Versailles, the League of Nations, and the Washington Treaty System, many American strategic planners saw UN trusteeships as a suspect and substandard way to guarantee that the Pacific Basin would become a postwar American lake. Historians have traditionally looked at the issue of international atomic energy control to demonstrate the low level of American confidence in the UN. 1 Trusteeship negotiations provide another early example of the same phenomenon.
Second, UN negotiations over international trusteeships became an arena for polarized relations between the United States and the Soviet Union as well as the scene for contentions between the western Allies over the future of the region. American fears about strategic security in the postwar Pacific were expressed in its lobbying for a special ''strategic trusteeship'' over Micronesia which made a mockery of the trusteeship concept and which fostered suspicions among other nations about American intentions in the postwar Pacific. 2
Finally, postwar negotiations illustrate just how intertwined the Pacific Basin became with other areas of the world. The region has been considered an isolated

Walter Moers, Cormac McCarthy, Michael Chabon, Junot Diaz and Haruki Murakami are my favourite authors. I tend to like a lot of modern American fiction, for whatever reason, but am not a massive genre fan. I'm reading the Game of Thrones books in conjunction with the TV series, and they're good... but I probably wouldn't choose one of them over
The Great Gatsby
Norwegian Wood
. I guess I tend to like more realistic novels. Which is weird, because in TV/films/music, I often like things to be as unconventional as possible. I dunno... I just like what I like! :D
