By JOHN W. GOODWIN JR.
A city police officer accused of beating a handicapped man is on medical leave after collapsing on the job.
Police Chief Jimmy Hughes said Officer Robert Jolliff, a 15-year veteran, collapsed while working Wednesday and was taken to an area hospital.
Hughes was unsure of Jolliff's status as of late Thursday afternoon but said the officer is on medical leave from the department.
Willie Daniel, 36, of High Street, paralyzed from the waist down, has accused Jolliff of repeatedly punching and hitting him in the head with a bottle after a traffic accident in February. Jolliff also is accused of leaving the man lying in the snow with his pants down, exposing an adult diaper he was wearing.
City officials have refused to release internal-affairs reports detailing findings in Daniel's allegations against Jolliff, including witness statements from officers at the scene, because the investigation continues.
The city, however, did release Jolliff's disciplinary file. The file shows that since 2001, Jolliff has been accused of using excessive force several times as well as conduct unbecoming an officer, making a false arrest and neglect of duty.
The department, however, deemed several of the allegations as either unfounded or unsubstantiated.
A 22-year-old North Side man in September 2009 told authorities that Jolliff sprayed him unnecessarily with pepper spray during an incident on Ohio Avenue. The man was being arrested for obstructing official business and resisting arrest.
Jolliff explained the man was combative during the arrest process. Internal-affairs investigators found that Jolliff used reasonable force in administering the pepper spray.
In 2008, a 35-year-old Lyden Street man complained after Jolliff responded to his home in regard to a domestic situation. The man said Jolliff sprayed him with pepper spray, cursed him and pushed him in the throat area. Several witnesses said Jolliff shoved the man's mother to the ground during the incident.
An internal-affairs investigation concluded that the allegations were "unsustained." The investigation showed that the man was aggressive, and the woman, who was interfering with police business, was being escorted back to her home and likely suffered a seizure and fell.
In 2004, a 23-year-old East Side woman told police she tapped Jolliff on the shoulder to ask a question during an altercation on Fairgreen Avenue and was thrown to the ground. The woman told internal affairs that Jolliff put his knees in her back and screamed in her face, then kicked another woman who tried to explain the situation.
Jolliff, in his response to the complaint, said the woman grabbed his arm and tried to prevent him from entering a part of the house where officers were conducting an investigation. He said the woman's actions resulted in a scuffle between the two and the woman's subsequent arrest.
Jolliff's file does not indicate a resolution for the 2004 complaint by IAD.
Hughes has said the department will conduct a thorough investigation into the most recent allegations made by Daniel.
"Multiple complaints against any one officer could raise a red flag for department officials, but those complaints must be evaluated on an individual basis," the chief said.
"I have not looked at the [previous] complaints, but my understanding is that we could not put anything on him other than that the complaints were made and those complaints have been investigated thoroughly," the chief said.
Hughes said it is also important to note that any unsubstantiated claim against an officer cannot be held against the officer after one year.
Any substantiated claim cannot be held against an officer after two years, he said.
Hughes fire this nut ! Look at all the complaints on Jolliff. Are all these people lying ? Don't think so! The only one that isn't doing there job is Y-Towns Police Administrators ! But what's new?
Rule One: Keep your hands off the Policeman.
Agreed saddad. Any law abiding citizen knows that simple rule. Tapped him on the shoulder my rear.
A cop enters a situation where people are ALREADY out of control, or in the midst of committing a crime and the cop is expected to do what??? ask them nicely to stop? Obstructing justice, resisting arrest, domestic violence...and these people want to cry police brutality. Give me a break.
Police Officers are expected to be Pit Bulls . Being docile in a hostile environment is a death sentence .
The pressure of the job takes its toll as evidenced by Officer Robert Jolliff's collapse . I pray for a speedy recovery for him .
Typical law enforcement coward that has to hide behind his badge to beat up old women & cripples. And, something like that is allowed to carry a gun? Hmmm.... No wonder this area's in a grim situation. Dirty cops, crooked politicians, incompetent bureaucrats & local business people who grossly overestimate their own intelligence. Delusions of Grandeur all.
Im glad you have tried him and found him guilty although those not working from hearsay acquitted him there sotired. Try listening to the radio -see what they deal with. And lets see you do the job and not just mouth off
sotired :
"A guy like this gives good cops a bad reputation."
All cops have a bad reputation amongst the criminals . The rest of society does their judging on another scale .
To those that stand in judgement I ask-Have you ever had to advance to the sound of the guns. If not then you have no idea of what is asked of one who does. These people do it all the time. Its like doing 15 years in Iraq.
saddad , u r an idiot , this man gets paid by taxpayers to protect and serve, this crap only happens in the black community and u wonder y Blacks dont c police as heroes . how threatening can a 35 yr old mans mother be, what about a man paralyzed from the waist down, sounds like a coward with a gun
stan, all cops dont have a bad reputation among criminals, most criminals know right from wrong and arent upset when some1 arrests them when they r wrong with respect , whites r so willing 2 give other whites the benefit of the doubt ,ie lets not rush 2 judgement, but when Blacks r accused of a crime in ur devilish mind mind he is guilty until proven innocent and then said 2 have gotten away with it
No that is not true. If you step in the shoes of law enforcement, you will see one thing very quickly. Even when treating EVERYONE the same. Same arrests, same traffic stops, same manner of speaking, same discretion, etc...it is almost always a minority that files complaints or just plain says "the only reason you did this is because I'm this color, or from that part of town.
Most criminals do know right from wrong, that is correct, but they DO NOT accept responsibility and always try to make excuses. In the Youngstown area, the excuse is ALWAYS race.
These guys run from one whacked out nut job call to another all night every night. Often the whackos are already fighting with their "loved ones" A million whackos means you cant just add up complaints. The earlier statement about where there's smoke just does not apply
"stan, all cops dont have a bad reputation among criminals, most criminals know right from wrong and arent upset when some1 arrests them when they r wrong with respect "
That is laughable.
Officer: "Freeze sir, and might you please stop burglarizing that house? It's not very nice of you."
Criminal: "Ah sure, you got me. Here, unlock your police cruiser so that I may get into the back of it and be whisked away to jail."
I am no cop, but I don't think that's the scenario that would play out.
////, did you hear the 911 tape?? Doesn't it mean something?
And You don't have to have a Pit-Bull attitude to be an effective cop. Yes they carry a badge and a gun, but they are s-e-r-v-a-n-t-s! most cops are good, but this one is a bad seed. If that cop got caught red-handed and on camera, you would still say he is innocent. Let that cop spend the rest of his career in Iraq.
We all know it's not easy being a police officer. But there is still rules all police officers have to follow. Now it doesn't sound right all those people complained on him. But im a just speak on the latest one against this officer shouldn't there have been another officer with him and a camera to the car when the officer showed up to the scene? Alot of stuff is not sounding right with this cop just as well as Willie Daniel.
"most criminals know right from wrong " Did you really just say that??????
Well there are probably no cameras due to funding first of all. And to the person who has once again said police officers are servants, can stick that word where it's dark and stinks. They provide a service, they are not your servant, but you feel that way for some odd reason. I guess that's why you think it's okay to talk to them how you want and treat them how you want. Oh and while we are on the subject of sending people to Iraq...how about we send all the welfare dwellers to Iraq and make them earn something for once?
Yes I realize that the City of Youngstown is broke BUT....
This just highlights the NEED for the Men and Women in blue to carry camera's mounted on thier heads like a lot of police forces are going to. I can hear the Police union crying a "blue streak" on this one but screw the union, it is about protecting the people from b.s. litigation and from Bad Cops. If they had cameras all of these prior allegations would have resulted in, filling fasle police report charges or, a charge against the Cop for abuse of power.
As a side note one can look at the caseload from the prosecutors standpoint, he/she would no longer need to plead Down a whole heck of a lot of cases due to the fact the the crime will have been caught on tape.This will entice them to plead for fear that a jury looking at a tape of the event will find them guilty in less then one hour's time and throw the book at them for wasting the courts time.
How many man hours will I A spend investigating this and other similar cases, this is an example of time is money, and that money would be better spent on camera's.
A policeman comes into an unknown situation already with an adrenaline rush. Add to that rush a suspect that is noncompliant, mouthing off, or physically resistive, what do you think is going to happen?
I'll never understand why some feel the need to confront law enforcement. Is it youth? Are people seeing it in movies and TV? Or is it just plain stupidity? When confronted with a policeman, how difficult is it to place your hands in a nonthreatening position, speak politely and calmly, and comply with whatever request is made of you?
You never hear of a police brutality case involving a law abidding citizen who did whatever the policeman asked. It`s always the one who has a rapsheet, a chip on their shoulder with something to prove, or doesn`t know when to keep their mouth shut.
Exactly steelhead. IF he did in fact do it.

I have been around the hood a few times . THE COPS ARE HATED ! In the eyes of the HOODRATS justice is getting off scott free .
In THE HOOD theft is noble and killing someone is divine . Drug dealers are classed as bad dudes and you don't mess with them. Why ? Because you will get bumped off . There are no appeals to your death sentence . Stealing to support your drug habit is a way of life .
antiypoungstown, u may never hear of law abiding citizens being brutalized by police , we have and c it all the time.....remember rodney resisting arrest and driving 110 miles an hour until the video comes out and shows him resisting arrest by moving while being hit with a baton...is internal affairs capable of investigating fellow officers? sounds like a conflict of interest
The comment that only the cops who are doing their job get complaints is stupid. My boyfriend is a cop (Cleveland) and has been for 16 years. He has, every year, been top ticket producer in his district and in all those years only had one complaint filed on him. He is always firm yet courteous to every person he comes in contact with, even when he has the racial thing thrown at him. I agree that we should not say this officer is guilty until IA completes the investigation, but I also can't help thinking that if this officer had tact, poise, and the proper demeanor as an upholder of the law he wouldn't have this number of complaints. But I also know from listening to my boyfriend that there are times he does want to get agressive with people who get mouthy or nasty to him when he is only doing the job he has sworn to do. We should all remember that they are the ones who put their lives on the line for us and it's not like they can say," I see you have a gun. Could you tell me what your intention is?" before they act. Get real! Why don't you try spending 2 hours in an officer's shoes and then tell me how you would react to a hostile situation.
Did somebody just use the proven edited video of Rodney King as anti-police rhetoric....and THEN refer to him as a law abiding citizen. Look around the suburbs and see what has changed, then see who is always the loudest, rudest, most obnoxious group, then tell me if someone is being singled out, or singling themselves out!
This situation is typical of this area. Many of the police here have gotten away with brutality over the years, and nothing has been done to stop it. If we are realistic, we all know that things like this have happened, and unless something besides paid leave is done, it will continue to happen. I personally know retired Youngstown policemen who have laughed while relating stories of their escapades, mis-deeds, and yes, even crimes while in uniform and on duty. I don't know if this particular policeman is guilty of what he's being accused of or not, and neither do any of you. I think he should be investigated, and dealt with according to the law like anyone else. He doesn't get a pass for being abusive because he has a tough job. Let's not forget, he chose this career, and he's not allowed to abuse his authority
Rodney King Beats Cop in Boxing Match
"This is a new chapter in my life," King said in a statement
Updated 3:59 PM EST, Sun, Sep 13, 2009
Rodney King won this round against cops unanimously.
The 44-year old whose beating at the hands of white LAPD officers who were later acquitted sparked deadly race riots in Los Angeles nearly two decades ago was the unanimous winner in a celebrity boxing match outside of Philadelphia.
Excessive pepper spray? Trying to get into a domestic situation and being withheld? A "tap on the shoulder" and got screamed at? Kicking another women (really)? Excessive pepper spray again?
Come on now. I'm not sticking up for this cop, I did'nt hear both sides yet, but do these really warrant abusive brutality? If these people weren't in a situation to have the cops called then nothing would've happened. Every situation is different every day, every night for the police around the country. There putting there life on the line on every call, even a simple traffic stop. Try thinking about that.
And I for one use to have tons of run ins with the law, and it's amazing, every time I WAS WRONG. Everything is so blown out of proportion, it's a wonder men and women still want a police career.
The big question is did the vehicle that Willie Daniel was in have hand controls for a paraplegic ? If Willie was rude to the police officer then he should have expected rudeness in return . If he was beat as he says he was then where is the medical evidence ?
For the Rodney King supporters who cherish the memory of his large award I am amused at you . Rodney blew over 3 mill on drugs booze and partying . Today he is looking for more handouts .

March came in like a lion in Austin, but also brought us one of the most exciting times of the year, South By SouthWest (a.k.a. SXSW or South By). We enjoy the Education, Interactive, Film, Music, Comedy, and Sports themed conference and all that it brings to our town. Usually, it also consumes St. Patrick's Day, but this year, the day falls after the last SXSW event, allowing the holiday to stand on its own.
To celebrate, we are sharing a few Irish wedding traditions.
- the claddagh ring -- This Irish engagement ring is worn face out when a woman is available and face in when she has committed to someone. The ring "represents love, friendship, and loyalty" and is worn on the right hand until a woman is engaged; then it is moved to the left.
- a braid in the hair -- A braid is an ancient Irish symbol of luck or power.
- handfasting or "tying the knot" -- The couple clasps their hands together; a ribbon, cord, or rope--often matching the wedding theme--is wound around joined hands as a symbol of agreement to spend their lives together.
- carry a horseshoe "up" -- Horseshoes hold good luck, but just like in Texas, the open end of the shoe must point up so the luck won't "fall out".
- lavender -- Lavender symbolizes devotion and love; herbs represent fidelity.
- ringing of bells -- Bells are said to keep evil spirits away. [Maybe if the bells are loud enough, "that" member of the family won't attend the big day! ;) ]
- Irish wedding blessing/toast -- "Friends and relatives, so fond and dear, 'tis our greatest pleasure to have you here. When many years this day has passed, fondest memories will always last. So we drink a cup of Irish mead and ask [for] blessing in [this] hour of need." Guests respond: "On this special day, our wish to you, the goodness of the old, the best of the new....bless you both who drink this mead, may it always fill your every need."
- superstitions! -- Don't marry on a Saturday! Avoid all funeral processions on wedding day. The bride and groom should not wash their hands in the same sink at the same time.
Of course, you'll also want to consider lace, bagpipes, and kilts (or at least a little tartan pinned under your gown) for a full Irish effect on your big day.
Whether you can trace your lineage back to the motherland or you're just "a little Irish" one day of the year, these traditions can help you personalize your ceremony and reception to the uniqueness that is you and your mate. And if you need some inspiration (or just to decompress!), join most of Austin at Fadó Irish Pub or Opal Divine's Austin Grill.
What other traditions would you like to learn more about? As Americans, we are influenced by so many parts of the world. What parts speak to you? And, what parts do you want to know more about?

Great California extra virgin olive oil
Posted by Giampaolo Fallai on 8th Mar 2014
I was born and raised in Florence Italy, came to the USA at 23 years old, I am now 65 years young, my memories of Tuscan extra virgin olive oil are still very vivid in my mind and my taste buds, naturally in all these years I favored Italian made extra virgin oil, unfortunately in the past few years I've noticed a constant decline in Italian made olive oil, taste, aroma, and color.Recently I've read in the New York time and several Italian newspapers about a scandal with the so called Italian olive oil, that after all is not Italian at all, by bottling it in Italy they can by law call it Italian made, mixed with several other oils, from several countries and other various additives and chemicals, not desirable or wanted in any olive oil. in disgust I stopped buying Italian oil. I've heard about how great some of the US made olive oils really are, in particular California olive oil, so I decided to give it a try, well let me tell you, your oil brought back memories of Tuscan oil, slightly bitter, great aroma, and above all a superb taste, I tested your oil just like my late mother tough me, on a warm piece of Italian bread, on a hot boiled potato, and with a shot glass, your oil passed with flying colors, made a believer out of me, five stars for sure.
I'm so happy to have found your oil, I will buy it again and again, and tell every one I know how great your oil really is, great job!!!

We no longer use any other oil in our cooking or just general drizzling on salads etc. This is the go to oil. And because we love it so much, it has become the gift we give, much like you would bring a bottle of wine. My sister also swears by this oil. She has gotten ill from other oils bought from the store that were rancid tasting by comparison to the California Olive Oil.
Even better!
Posted by Dale in San Jose on 20th Aug 2013
I love the delicate version and this one takes it! I only wish it was easier to purchase. I'm gong to push Nob Hill to start carrying CA Olive Oil Co. because the other jugs I have in my cabinet are lubricant at best. You can actually taste olives... imagine that?
I would make the trek to Whole Foods, but what the heck will it cost me there!?!? I'd rather order it from the website directly. My pleasure. Thanks, and your boys on the Armstrong and Getty After Show know how to promote you.
Bolder Flavor
Posted by Carson Flanders on 31st Mar 2013
The light texture of this oil in the mouth balances well with the bolder flavor. I look forward to cooking meats with it. I also plan to drizzle it over Burrata cheese. I recommend it.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of footwear specialist Deckers Outdoor (NYSE:DECK) plunged 15% today after its current-quarter outlook disappointed Wall Street.
So what: Deckers' fourth-quarter results -- income spiked 44% on a revenue jump of 19% -- managed to top estimates, but downbeat guidance for the current quarter is forcing analysts to temper their growth expectations. While management cited costs associated with opening 28 additional stores last year for the worse than expected outlook, Wall Street is interpreting the weak top-line view as a sign of declining popularity of its important Ugg brand.
Now what: Management now sees a first-quarter loss of $0.16 per share on revenue growth of 6%, well below Wall Street's view of a $0.10-per-share profit and a top-line increase of 12%. "Looking ahead, we expect to be well positioned to execute our consumer centric growth strategy with compelling new product introductions, engaging store experiences and a dynamic online offering," president and CEO Angel Martinez reassured investors. "We are excited about the direction the Company is headed and we are committed to capitalizing on the many expansion opportunities that we believe are in front of us." More important, with the stock now off about 20% from its 52-week highs, Mr. Market might be giving Fools another cheap chance to buy into Deckers' long-term turnaround story.

Every so often, I wind up scouring the Internet for information on the New York City club people whom I worshiped from afar in the 1970s and 1980s — people like Anya Phillips, Sally Randall, Dianne Brill and Dean Johnson of Dean and the Weenies. Recently, I stumbled across the name Haoui "Howie" Montaug.
It's funny that I instantly remembered that Montaug was the doorman at Danceteria, Studio 54, and Palladium. I never went to Danceteria or Studio 54, though of course I wanted to. I did go to Palladium but I'm sure I didn't encounter Haoui or I would never have gotten in! (Reportedly, Montaug once made Mick Jagger pay the $6 entrance fee at Studio 54.) Another Palladium doorman took pity on me and my laughable fake ID. He would even give me a few tickets for free drinks. And get this — I wouldn't use all of them because I wanted to save them as souvenirs. Earlier this year, I found a bunch (probably from 1986 or 1987) safely tucked away in a scrapbook. That's how excited I was to be at that place! OMG! I want to go back and hug the young and extremely desperate me because I feel a little sorry for her.
Anyway, I knew about Haoui Montaug because I studied Details magazine like I was going to be tested on it. Nowadays, Details is a men's magazine owned by Conde Nast, but it originally was an independent that covered everything about the downtown scene: art, music, fashion, clubs and so on. Haoui was constantly in Details, and not just because of who he kept out of or let into which hot club. He also wrote for the magazine. I'm not sure if "The Doorman Poem" I found was published in Details or one of the other hip magazines he wrote for. The poem starts:
"Excuse me excuse me
Who is in charge here
I mean who has the guest list
I must be on it
I am personal friends with just about
anybody you ever heard of"
The more clubs change, the more things stay the same at the door, eh? Click here to read the rest.
Haoui was much more than a doorman. One of his other projects was a cabaret revue called "No Entiendes." The essay collection On Edge: Performance at the End of the Twentieth Century by C. Carr called No Entiendes a "mutant Gong Show" and said, "No Entiendes revels in the bad. All kinds of bad." But it also hosted now-iconic acts including Madonna and the Beastie Boys at the beginning of their careers. The video of Madonna performing her first-ever single "Everybody" at "No Entiendes" in November 1982 is on YouTube. Check out how blase the audience members are while the performance is being introduced. By the end, they're going wild.
Here's another link to the video in case the embedded version above goes bad. You know how things come and go on YouTube. Haoui had other musical ventures included a karaoke show with his "No Entiendes" partner, DJ Anita Sarko (another idol of mine because she worked the Mike Todd room at Palladium). He also was a director of the New Music Seminar's panel discussions.
In 1991, it was a spokeswoman for the New Music Seminar who told the New York Times that Haoui had died of AIDS. But a 1997 New York Magazine article says Haoui — who did indeed have AIDS — actually committed suicide after throwing one last event: his own suicide celebration. (This 1992 story from the Courant also says that Montaug killed himself.) According to New York, 20 guests were invited to Haoui's downtown loft for the occasion. Madonna, who was in Los Angeles, attended by phone. The evening didn't go as planned, though, because Haoui took five Seconals and fell asleep … but kept breathing. "He awoke late the next morning, furious," the magazine reported. He then sent his friends home, took 20 more pills and died in 30 minutes.
So many creative people — men, mostly — died so young in those days due to AIDS. The disease wiped out a whole generation of artists. Props once again to Madonna for sticking with and lobbying for the guys who helped her get her start. A lot of people wouldn't (and didn't!) have the decency or guts to do that.
If you want to know more about Haoui Montaug, go to this Facebook page for more photos, video clips and remembrances. I'll be there "liking" everything.

Marooned-on-the-farm '80s me would have been just sick with envy over '80s you with your scrapbooked Palladium ephemera! What a treasure. Love this post and all the links.

annemarie says:
This blog is very educational! To me, that era in NYC seems much more rough and dirty and a lot cooler than the high-gloss monotony of today. Was it actually rougher and dirtier? Or is it just that the cameras weren't as advanced as they are now that everyone looks as though they've been dragged through a hedge backwards (in a cool way, of course)?
It was MUCH rougher and dirtier. There are streets now that are filled with fancy restaurants and shops that you wouldn't dare walk on alone back then. Just for one example — now there is a fancy hotel named for Gansevoort Street in the meat-packing district of all places (and the original hotel there is surrounded by high-end boutiques and restaurants). In the mid'80s, on that street, there were meat-packing plants, the 24-hour restaurant Florent (popular with the local transvestites after 2 a.m.) and, nearby, the club Tunnel. That's it. When I used to go to one of those two places during my college days, people would say, "You're taking a cab, right? You can't walk around there." And obviously, in college, we didn't throw a lot of money away on cabs. That's how serious it was! I did take a subway downtown once and then had to walk really far west and my friend and I had to dodge a scary gang of young men, and everyone scolded us for being such fools. The cabs never knew where Gansevoort Street was, which made things more complicated too!
Susan Partlan says:
Great educational post Wendy. Haoui's story is funny and really, really sad.
My days of hanging out in rough and dirty New York City ended in 1976 when I went to college, but we came back as often as possible in the 80s with and without the kids, despite the grime and crime.
One artist you may not have heard of is Calvin Hampton, famous for his 1974 to 1983 "Fridays at Midnight" organ recital series at Calvary Episcopal Church in Gramercy Park. It apparently achieved cult status and featured outrageous outfits in addition to fantastic music. He died of AIDS in 1984, but in his short life composed some brilliant organ pieces that according to our organist are extremely challenging to play. There are a couple of YouTubes posted of organists playing his stuff — the music is out of this world. Give it a try when you have a chance.
Outrageous outfits AND fantastic music? i will definitely look that up!

Haoui was always really sweet to us. At Danceteria he was usually found keeping the riffraff from the VIP room. (Oh wait maybe it was keeping us in? heehee!) Dancetria had so many floors, there was always something happening on each, but the main floor was where the bands and events like fashion shows took place."No Entiendes" was a hoot! I have so many fond memories of that place… don't get me started on the hideous geeks with their GIANT film equipment trying to block the stage during the New Music Seminar — they learned fast that you don't block New Yorkers from seeing bands, especially since some had come quite far & those gigs wound up being their only gigs in NY ever! Ah if only you were a few years older you would have gotten to see NY in all its disgusting, dirty, dangerous yet wildly creative glory! XXX PS video wouldn't load here or the link. No biggie you know how I feel about Mad-doo-doo! (;
Love this comment 🙂

We hit 70 at noon and will continue to warm this afternoon into the upper 70s. Though temperatures will be warm, humidity levels will be in the "comfortable" range. If you're heading out to the track or anywhere outdoors, don't forget the sunscreen!
The week ahead looks mainly dry and very warm. We could hit 80 tomorrow with sunny skies. You'll probably have the need to water your plants and yard this week, because Mother Nature's free water looks like a tough commodity. Our best chance comes a week from today with scattered showers/storms. Before that, a dying cold front *might* be enough for a couple passing showers on Wednesday – but it's a slim chance. Late Sunday night we could get a couple isolated storms – especially northwest Indiana. In addition to the mainly dry weather, we'll watch the heat and humidity crank up by qualifying weekend. We could hit mid 80s with heat index values in the 90s this upcoming weekend!
Finally, our Hoosier Pic today at noon. A gorgeous pic taken by Pamela Brearley who celebrated Mother's Day enjoying the view of Eagle Creek from Rick's Boatyard Cafe yesterday. Sailboats and a helicopter made for a fantastic photo op!
Enjoy the week!

SSL: A False Sense of Security?
The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol has become the backbone of secure network communications, protecting everything from employee remote access, email, file transfer, and systems administration traffic to all of an organization's e-commerce transactions. But is the security SSL/TLS provides real, or just an illusion?

How to pack a car top carrier.
All right! Your vacation has arrived, it's time to
hit the road. Let's pack. What? Aunt Betty is coming along.
Surprise. No one can watch Spot the family retriever so he's coming
too. These kinds of situations come up all the time it's best to be
prepared and have your good 'ol Piggy Pack car top carrier ready to go.
A little bit of planning helps a lot. If
you have never used your Piggy Pack CTC before, plan on taking some extra
time. Read the instructions first. You'll want to take a few minutes to
adjust the straps, position the buckles so they work best for you and your
Think about the gear you want to pack. It's
going on the top of your car, so there's going to be some lifting.
Generally, lighter bulky items are best. Sleeping bags, duffel bags of
cloths, soccer balls, tents, sports gear like masks, fins, snorkels, stuff like
that. Heavy objects like filled coolers, horse shoes, pointy things like
tent poles should probably go inside the car. Stuff you'll use along the
way, like cameras, maps, munchies should go in the car too.
If you have a luggage rack, know its weight
limitation. If you're loading a car top carrier right on the roof of a sedan without a
luggage rack, be aware of the strength of the roof, press it with your hands,
don't cave it in, limit your load. You have to use your best judgment.
Make sure car
clips to attach carriers to cars with no luggage rack on on hand.
Most people pack the CTC on the roof of the
vehicle. Position the opening of the bag so you can easily reach it by
standing in the door, on the tailgate of the SUV, on the tire, or on the tire
step. Watch your balance, take it easy loading one item at a time.
Some people load their car top bag inside, on the
ground or in the garage. This is fine, however consider the loaded CTC can
be heavy and it will most likely take two or more people to lift it on to the
roof top. Don't throw it on the roof and if the bag has handles, make sure
they handle the weight you have loaded.
Pack the bag filling out all the space.
Sometimes you can wedge a coat or jacket into a small pocket of space. You
can unroll a sleeping and fold it long and flat. This can go on the bottom
inside the CTC to help protect your roof. If you do have small or hard items,
put them in the middle with softer items on the out side to keep them from
shifting or rubbing a hole in the CTC. Car top carrier bags that are
packed full, so the material doesn't flap in the wind will last a very long
time. Flapping material, especially if it rubs something hard or sharp
will eventually break down and a hole will develop.
After your CTC is closed properly, strap it to
the car. Make sure the straps are securely fastened to the luggage rack
and to each other. Our StrapRight system puts all the stress on the straps
and the luggage rack itself. This is a very secure method. Other
strapping systems attach to the bag itself, stressing the material and seams on
the bag. In any event make sure the straps are snug. Push hard on
the car top carrier and make sure it doesn't move. Tie off or tuck away any strap ends
so they don't flap in the wind.
Finally, test your load the first couple of times
you use a CTC. Test it at highway speeds. While on your trip, test
the straps when ever you stop for gas or to rest. Sometimes, the load will
shift and you may have to tighten or adjust the straps.
Car top carriers also pack will inside of rooftop
cargo baskets. If you want to keep your gear off of the roof top
consider this option.
Loading and using a car top carrier is a lot like
setting up a tent. Once you've done it a couple of times, it gets easier
and easier.
Have a good trip. Drive safe.

Next on Google's agenda may be the release of an 8-inch tablet that could follow its second generation 7-inch Nexus 7 tablet. Adding to speculation about an upcoming tablet from the search engine giant, is the rumor of Intel 64-bit hardware inside.
As InfoWorld reports (March 12), industry analysts at ABI Research predict that when the first set of 64-bit Android devices arrive, Apple's market share dominance could decline. Apple's 64-bit A7 chip having iPhone 5S, iPad Air and iPad Mini with Retina Display will soon face some CPU competition.
As BGR reports, Intel's 64-bit quad-core Atom "Moorefield" CPU is estimated to arrive during the second half of the year. Rumor has it that the Nexus 8 tablet (and Nexus 6 smartphone) may be given release date around that same time. Suggestions are that Google and Intel are teaming up on the two next generation Nexus devices.
Unwrapped by the chip maker at this year's Mobile World Congress event, the "Moorefield" processor is custom designed for Android smartphones and tablets. According to Intel, "Moorefield" is built on its dual-core "Merrifield" chip feature set with two added cores for clock speeds of up to 2.3GHz.
Moorefield is also optimized for the Intel XMM 7260, Intel's 2014 LTE-Advanced communications platform. "Our new Atom processors for Android smartphones and tablets offer leading 64-bit performance and battery life," vice president and general manager of Intel's Mobile and Communications Group, Hermann Eul said.
Pitted against Samsung's Galaxy S4's Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU, in WebXPRT benchmark tests, Intel's 64-bit Atom "Merrifield" came out on top. In Web applications, where higher is better, the dual-core Intel Atom chip scored 2.38 against the quad-core Snapdragon's score of 1.10. With the dual-core "Merrifield" CPU scoring twice as fast, we can imagine the performance of the upcoming next generation quad-core "Moorefield" chip.
"We are entering 2014 with a very competitive mobile portfolio spanning application processors and communications platforms that will only get stronger," Eul said.

We're less than a week away from the grand opening of the Sochi Winter Olympics and although many preparations are in place, the hotel situation might prove difficult for some members of the media.
According to USA Today on Saturday, only six of the nine hotels designated for media are fully functional as athletes and media alike begin to arrive in the Black Sea resort town. While the athletes are not affected by the problem, some members of the press have discovered that no rooms are available to stay in.
Some arrived in Sochi to find that areas of the hotel were still under construction or other problems with their rooms, such as brown water coming out of the tap or no light in the main room. USA Today quoted one German photographer as saying that some rooms were even still housing construction workers. Organizers have reportedly said the incomplete hotels are finishing up with "the final testing process and check of their services."
International Olympic Committee President Steve Bach, who previously expressed confidence in the organizers' efforts to ensure a safe and secure Games, says the committee is in contact with the Russian organizers and expects the issue to be resolved early this coming week.
Until then, media personnel affected will reportedly be given new accommodations. Up to 6,000 press members will arrive in Sochi on Monday with 11,000 overall expected to cover the Games locally.

Ever since she was dropped from "The Real Housewives of New York City," Jill Zarin has stayed in the limelight through guest appearances. She appeared on Oprah's "Where Are They Now" series and even sat down with Andy Cohen on his "Watch What Happens Live." Fans will once again see her on TV this summer.
On Monday, June 16, Naughty But Nice Rob reported that Jill will appear on ABC's "Celebrity Wife Swap." Filming for the episode, which will air on Tuesday, July 15, is already finished. The person with whom she swapped lives with is Jenna Von Oy.
According to one TV insider, the episode will be full of drama. For those who don't know, Jenna Von Oy is an actress, best known for her work as Six LeMeure on "Blossom" and as Stevie Van Lowe on "The Parkers." She is currently married to a computer data consultant, with whom she had a daughter with in 2012. Very likely, viewers will see a lot of drama resulting from Jill, who was very vocal about her parenting ways during her time as a New York City housewife, not agreeing with how Von Oy and her husband raise their child.
The TV insider predicted that if Jill's "Celebrity Wife Swap" episode does well in the ratings game, she'll get more opportunities. One opportunity may be the chance to return to "The Real Housewives of New York City," since the show isn't bringing in the viewers that it used to when Jill was on the show.
This isn't the first time that there have been mumblings about Jill Zarin being a New York City housewife again. In late March, Aviva Drescher even went on a radio show and claimed that Heather Thomson and Carole Radziwill were going to be fired and replaced with Bethenny Frankel and Jill. However, it doesn't seem as if that's happening. When confronted with Aviva's claim by Carole, Andy Cohen didn't confirm it but rather expressed shock and surprise.

Pros and Cons: Demi Bras
- Published by
- Posted on
- Leave your thoughts
With demi bras, the cups have shorter under wires, less upper-breast coverage, and wide-set straps.
Good style for:
- Settling breasts and shallow breasts will probably get some mounding.
- Petite women with large breasts will enjoy the shorter underwires and reduced cup coverage.
- Shorter wires up the center make this style a good choice for women with symmastia.
Not so good for:
- Pendulous breasts will probably not look attractive in this style.
- Omega-shaped breasts have too much breast tissue for this bra style. Thin and conical breasts will not fill out the cups.
- Women looking for the same support that a full cup bra gives.
- Large areolas could show along the top bra line.
- Women with sloping shoulders will have strap slippage issues.

Ability to use tag synonyms
Often I find myself adding tags several times but each time in a different language. Ex. I add an English tag and also the same tag but then in Dutch. As a result links get cluttered with lots of tags. Wouldn't it be an idea to have the possibility to add synonyms (translations) to 1 tag so that adding 1 of them immediately makes the link searchable via the related synonyms too?
Just a wild idea that popped up :-)
13 comments
PERCE - NEIGE commented
Vote here instead, because it is marked as "under review"
Make it happen!
Falst en commented
oh yes! rather than all languages, there are a more than a few tags like say, "cu" and "current" that mean the same thing but the first is for days of rapid (and lazy) bookmarking. therefore a "alias" feature for tags would be perfect!
someone in a post thread earlier:
mentioned having "related tags" be grouped by what else was used.
perhaps have the existing "recommended" tags in popup generate recommendations as according to how the current account uses tags? this feature is already available when you filter tags on diigo site view so there's no saying it's entirely impossible at this point.
as well as also generating a "frequent tags" section for the current domain being bookmarked. also applying only to the current account of course.
Effective Communication commented
I'm with all who voted here in support of Kurt Jacobs's idea.
I bet Diigo wouldn't have to do that on scratch. While ControlledVocabulary project seems huge and "web1" , what about CommonTag http://commontag.org, through e.g. a tunnel?
Fuzbolero . commented
Great job collecting those similar issues/feature requests, Ivan Tishchenko!
I suggest that instead of adding votes/comments to the other similar threadys, we all focus our comments on the largest thread that is about to turn 70 comments and over 1100+ votes, here:
"To have a tags bundle option (like in delicous)"
For Diigo admins; isnt it time to simply put this on the PLANNED list, tag it as such so that we can be assured it is about to happen? I assume you dont need more "indications" that this is important for many users...
Ivan Tishchenko commented
List of similar ideas -- please go vote for them, maybe that will speed up implementation?
jonar90 commented
I like your idea and expanded a bit on it. Feel free to have a look! http://feedback.diigo.com/forums/76211-ideas/suggestions/3199391-build-and-manage-tag-tree-hierarchy-with-support-f
Xiaoyu Tang commented
indeed. It's a good idea. Diigo already has a Related Tags feature. I think it just need something like a "search result with related tags". how does that sound?
Simon Unknown commented
It is really good idea. Add synonims and also merge currently created tags. Sometimes I have few tags simmilar (ex. C# and csharp) it would be nice to merge those 2 as one and set one as primary. Everytime I add something with csharp Diigo should replace it with C#. It would be very useful.
Rico Robles commented
It would be more effective if maybe you have of the same tags and the same synonyms so that it would be more easier and fast to add tags...
Boris Bockelmann commented
Thanks for your idea, i was to write nearly the same. My hope is, that the number of suggestioned tags will be reduced according to this feature ... and the search engines will again gain from our human efforts ;-)
Rico Robles commented
Practicing any kind of languages, but the most important is English.
Tyme 2.0 commented
having a quick " substitute / replace with" function could be nice, because no need to edit the tag : click tag1 , click "replace with" button , click tag2..
Graham Perrin commented
+2 or more
but I can neither vote for, nor follow this topic.
With apologies for a long post:
First, a little history. Back in April 2009 I wrote, but not to the Diigo users' group:
---- begin quote ----
I like the way that freshmeat.net visualises tags, and allows users to include and exclude tags in a single query. Ignoring for a moment the fact that it's a software-oriented site:
http://handhelds.freshmeat.net/tags/iphone?with=2751&without=4759 presents items that
* are tagged 'iPhone'
* are tagged 'GPL'
* are _not_ tagged 'Blackberry'
Focusing on the URL: it seems that each tag has a numeric synonym, which probably eases construction of the associated URL, but **the user need not know the synonym** — they simply select tags from the *Show* and *Hide* sides of the tag portlet.
Side note: I very much like the restrained but meaningful use of colours at freshmeat.net
---- end quote ----
Since that time Diigo has:
* experimented with an alternative UI for addition/subtractions of tags
* partially reverted to a UI for tags that resembles the one used for Diigo 3.x
* greatly improved the ways in which tag-oriented queries can be used within groups
— and freshmeat seems to have adopted a UI for tags that's more like the UI of Diigo :-)
http://groups.diigo.com/group/Diigo_HQ/content/tag/%22Common%20Tag%22 finds
'Mash: bringing Common Tag format to Diigo:
Faviki bookmarklet before all else'
More recently I use Services + Dictionary in Mac OS X to find **Common Tags in Wikipedia** — mash with the OS is more streamlined than mash with Faviki.
Bottom lines:
— I favour Common Tag format, YMMV
— and because everyone's mileages may vary, I'm interested in what might be done with tag synonyms :)

Bartolo Colon was in complete control on Wednesday afternoon in Seattle. The 41-year-old, 285-pound hurler was perfect through 6.2 innings at Safeco Field before Robinson Cano slapped a 2 out single to left field. In the midst of intense trade rumors, Colon certainly upped his stock, earning his ninth win of the season and leading the Mets to a series victory over the upstart Mariners.
"You just sensed it in the first inning," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "Probably the second hitter you said, 'He's on today.' We saw some funny swings from good hitters. That's when you say, 'Score some runs for him today, because he's going to dominate.'" (DiComo, MLB)
Colon successfully pumped his versatile fastball into the strike zone all game long, as it cut, dipped and swerved around Mariner bats. He would go on to retire the first twenty men who came to face him. At 6.2 innings, Wednesday's performance was the longest Colon had gone perfect into a game in his entire 17 year MLB career.
"Check the resume -- he's pretty good," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said of Colon. "Listen, I've seen him do it to a lot of clubs, a lot of powerhouse clubs. Today was his day. I'm not going to sit here and over analyze that." (DiComo, MLB)
The Mets provided some early run support when Daniel Murphy doubled home Eric Young Jr. However, the club again fell victim to the offensive struggles that have plagued them on this road trip.
Recently recalled pitcher Taijuan Walker dominated the Mets in the early portion of the game. However, after drilling Ruben Tejada in the head with a 94 mph fastball in the 5th inning, the Mariner's pitcher was clearly shaken. He struggled with his command, walking 3 of the next 5 batters before being pulled by McClendon.
When asked if hitting Tejada had affected the rest of his outing, Walker responded, "Definitely. You never want to hit anybody in the head, especially with a fastball. It's a scary thing, but you have to kind of shake it off and get back into the game. But it is tough." (DiComo, MLB)
The Mariner's nearly tied the game in the 8th inning when Brad Miller crushed a ball to deep right-center that caromed off the top of the wall. Scoring one run on the play, Seattle would eventually score another run on a ground out by Willie Bloomquist. From there, the increasingly dependable tandem of Jeurys Familia and Jenrry Mejia shut the door and secured the victory for New York.
The 3-2 win salvaged a 3-3 trip to the west coast and brought the Mets back to within 5 games of .500. With the trade deadline looming, the Mets pending four game series against the Brewers is of the utmost importance. The outcome of this series could directly affect the decisions of the front office at the trade deadline, which is now just a week away.
That four game set begins tonight when Dillon Gee (4-2, 2.96 ERA) takes on Matt Garza (6-7, 4.04 ERA) and the first place Brewers. Gee will look to rebound from a rough outing in San Diego where he allowed 4 earned runs and a couple of long blasts over just 5 innings.

So I was chatting with a friend of mine the other day about science and scientists, and in particular what on earth we theoretical physicists actually do.
She (mostly jokingly I think) said we're really all a bit weird, just sitting around thinking about quantum physics all day. I tried to begin to explain that we don't sit around thinking about quantum mechanics all day any more than a tailor sits around all day thinking about needles. (Or how many angels or demons can fly through the eyes of said needles at the same time.) No, we're mostly getting on with using the needles in the making of new suits and so forth. (To continue the allegory.)
But I did not get to that analogy, because another thing came up. She went on to say "…like Einstein, with crazy hair…", to invoke her primary example of the crazy quantum scientist. Now, given that she was talking to me (er… no crazy hair, in case you are wondering), she was clearly joking, but in my view, at the core of all that is a serious image problem that science has to deal with – bizarre clichés about who we are and what we look like. So I thought I'd point something out.
The most famous image of the crazy/eccentric scientist is largely based on a lie (or more generously, a misconception), in the following sense. I typed "Einstein" into Google, clicked on images and the very first page (click for larger view) was of 20 famous images of the man, either as crazy-haired eccentric, or wizened old Yoda-like icon, or whatever. Except the very last one on the page. There he is as a normal-looking young man, an image that is so much less common. But here's the thing. When he was doing the majority of the work he was famous for (quantum mechanics, Special Relativity, etc), that is closer to what he looked like. He was born in 1879 and his "miracle year" (when four stunning papers he is famous for were published) was 1905. So he was 26, and he'd been doing the work for years leading up to that. He was not some crazy old guy sitting around thinking about quantum physics, the image that gets put out there in the Einstein (and to some extent, scientist) mythology. I explained all this and showed the Google page (snap above).
She looked at it for a moment. Sharp intake of breath on realization.
Then, "Oh! He was a crazy young guy!"…
(*I then laughed slightly hysterically for about a full minute…)

With a loosely based 1940s theme, fantastic food, stunning flowers and one dozy of a dress, Zach and Leila had their perfect relaxed California wedding. All held at the infamous San Diego wedding venue, Darlington House. A place that still echoes a lifestyle of gracious living, elegant dinner parties, and delightful musical concerts.
It is quite difficult not to have an impossibly lovely wedding here. You can see even more of their wedding in the full gallery here, all beautifully photographed by This Modern Romance.
One of the 1904s components were Leila's hair and makeup. Pins gently placed in her up-do and crimson red lipstick. Both done by 10.11 Makeup and Hair! This vintage-glam look paired perfectly with her Elizabeth Fillmore dress. We cannot forget to mention the lace Claire Pettibone lace back that added that extra bit of glitz to her already glam look. Do you love?
From the Bride…
We got married at the Darlington House on May 25, 2013. We were really inspired by the Darlington House, which has a very elegant 1930's/40's look to it. We fell in love with its timeless beauty and its intimate atmosphere. We had a loose 1940's theme, which included my dress, the flower arrangements and the signature drinks.
We were also inspired by the relaxed California lifestyle and the Darlington House's proximity to the beach lent itself to this. We tried to make sure that our reception felt like an outdoor dinner party, with great food, drinks, and music. This meant cutting out a lot of the traditional reception events, but it was definitely worth it in the end!
From The Bride:
Zach and I decided to mix our two cultures to come up with a ceremony that represented us as a couple. I'm Persian, so we had a Sofreh Aghd, which is a table with decorative and symbolic items on it that represent the couple's new life together. We also incorporated American traditions, including having a wedding party and reciting vows. We were married by one of our dear friends, and the ceremony was very heartfelt and sweet.
The mirror and candle sticks on the Sofreh Aghd were the same ones that my parents used at their wedding. My mom had them retouched with silver leaf to give them a fresh look. We spent months scouring antique markets to find the Fenton bowls on the Sofreh Aghd and the lavender vases on the dinner tables. Our florist, Nancy, was able to find lots of beautiful antique etched glass vessels for the centerpieces. Etsy was also a great go-to place for a lot of the decorative elements.
We DIY'd all the wedding day paper products. I have to give Zach a lot of credit, because he hand painted, then heat-embossed all of the programs by himself!
He also made the white wine sangria that we served during the cocktail hour. Everyone has been raving about it since then! My mom sewed all the fabric items for the ceremony, including the chair cover (tulle and all!) and my dad helped us construct the Sofreh table.
The other thing that made the wedding really special was that we had family and friends from all over the world come to celebrate with us. It was an incredible feeling to look around and see all of the people we love in one place.
Zach and I are excited to have our wedding featured on Wedding Chicks! I have been thinking, and I honestly don't think we would have done anything differently at the wedding. The day went even better than we could have ever imagined, and that is in large part because of our amazing vendors. My one advice for other couples is to focus on the things that are most important to them – for us, it was photography and the things that would have a big impact on the guests (i.e. food, drinks, and decor).

"An organ in a concert hall has to have balls," says organ consultant Jeff Weiler. "And the old organ was just whistling Dixie."
The Kennedy Center's original Concert Hall organ was, according to Weiler, "the dying gasp of a once-very prominent organ builder." Aeolian-Skinner built the organ as quickly and cheaply as possible – using what Weiler refers to as "shop sweepings" – before going out of business immediately after installation in 1972. "It did not work musically, and it was unreliable mechanically," says Weiler, who notes that many, including the late, great organist Virgil Fox, have complained about the instrument from day one.
A decade ago, the Kennedy Center hired Weiler and his 14-member, Chicago-based organ restoration business to offer scenarios for restoring or replacing the organ, used most often by the National Symphony Orchestra and NSO Organist William Neil. Weiler's expertise with organs essentially came from birth: His mother was an organist, and ever since he can remember he was fascinated by the mechanics and sounds of pipe organs, which can weigh as much as 20 tons and feature 5,000 pipes, as the Kennedy Center's does. "A colossal machine that just happens to be a musical instrument," is how Weiler puts it.
For the Kennedy Center, Weiler advised that "the best scenario is to begin afresh." He recommended the Quebec-based firm Casavant Frères, the oldest organ builder in North America and the largest in the world, which also has particular expertise in designing for concert halls.
In part as a tribute to its heritage, Weiler had Casavant Frères incorporate 61 pipes from the original organ, which was a gift from Catherine Filene Shouse. The new organ, meanwhile, is a gift from Kennedy Center Chair David M. Rubenstein, in honor of anniversaries marking 40 years of the Kennedy Center and 80 years of the NSO.
"At long last," says Weiler, "the Kennedy Center is home to a world-class organ."
The new Concert Hall Organ debuts in a free performance by NSO organist William Neil on Tuesday, Nov. 27, at 6 p.m. at the Kennedy Center. Tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis at 5 p.m. that day. Call 202-467-4600 or visit kennedy-center.org.

Hi: I'm new to this list so apologies if I do anything wrong with my question.
Suppose I have a matrix $Y$ whose SVD can be decomposed as
$Y = U_{0}\Sigma_{0}V_{0}^{*} + U_{1}\Sigma_{1} V_{1}^{*}$ where $U_{0}$ and $V_{0}$
are the singular vectors associated with the singular values greater than $\tau$ and
$U_{1}$ and $V_{1}$ are the singular vectors associated with singular values greater than $\tau$.
The paper then goes on to say that $U_{0}^{*} U_{1}\Sigma_{1} V_{1}^{*} = 0$ and $U_{1}\Sigma_{1} V_{1}^{*}V_{0} = 0$.
Could someone explain why the last two claims are true ?

Better yet: Double your dollars.
Many credit card issuers will increase or double your points or
dollars if you redeem them at special partner retailers. For example,
Discover Card will turn $20 of cash-back dollars into a $40 gift
card at Blockbuster, Banana Republic, Pier 1 Imports and dozens
of other stores. This is a smart strategy if you were already planning
to shop at one of those retailers.
If you don't have a card that offers
cash back or frequent-flier rewards, you can search for them using
Bankrate's credit
card search.
4. Use up store credits and
gift cards. Still have a gift card you
got on your last birthday? Store credit for some long-forgotten
book returns? If you haven't used them yet, consider using this
"free money" to reduce the amount you would otherwise
spend on holiday gifts. Many gift cards lose value or expire over
time, so it's wise to use them promptly. This is also a good way
to use up gift certificates for stores at which you might not otherwise
5. Create your own coupons.
Israelsen is a big fan of putting together
coupon books as gifts for kids (he and his wife have seven) that
give them unexpected household privileges. Coupons for things such
as "One Saturday afternoon activity of your choice with Dad,"
"Stay up one hour past your bedtime" or even "Get
out of one punishment free" are traditionally a big hit, Israelsen
The coupon idea
can also be extended for other family and friends. A night of free babysitting
or even a morning to sleep in (given to your spouse) are gifts that are sure to
please -- without squeezing your pocketbook in the process.
6. Don't shop for yourself.
It can be tempting to pick up the latest electronic gadget or snowflake-print
sweater while you're out Christmas shopping for everyone else. But
remember that National Retail Federation report that the average
shopper will spend a whopping $99 on self-gifts? Taking yourself
off the shopping list is a quick way to save a few bucks.
7. Shop early online.
If you know you'll have trouble controlling your spending, avoid
the mall and do targeted shopping online instead. Why wait for Thanksgiving
to start holiday shopping. Get your list together and surf the net
to find the best buys. Many online stores offer free or discounted
shipping, which may seem like an extra expense, but with the price
of gas these days, do you really want to be driving from mall to
mall seeking hard-to-find items? An added bonus: You can comparison-shop
on prices without leaving your home office.
Another suggestion: Keep a running
list of items you're yearning for, or clip pages out of catalogs, until the after-Christmas
sales hit. If you still want the item when it's 50 percent off, it's time to shop.
However, Kay points out the snowflake sweater might not have quite the same appeal
when it's piled on a clearance table in January.

The family and I were traveling north on U.S. Highway 45 on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, and we were anxious to get home.
I spotted a police car in the opposite lane, and made sure I was below the speed limit. No problem.
Then I realized the police car led a steady stream of cars with their lights on, so I pulled over.
"Why'd we stop?" my daughter said.
"There's a funeral," I said. "We stopped to show our respect."
I silently offered my support to the family and friends of the recently deceased, and thought back to other, more personal funeral processions.
Another car about 400 yards in front of us also stopped, but that was the only one I noticed. The rest of the holiday travelers zoomed on their busy way.
It was shocking because I'd never seen that many drivers fail to stop for a funeral procession.
In my experience, most folks pull over to the side of the road. Usually, you can forgive the few who keep driving by assuming they're in their own little worlds and didn't notice the police car or the hearse or the long line of slow-moving vehicles.
I've been in a few of those sad processions. Not as a guest of honor, of course, but as a mourner with raw emotions. I appreciated the men and women in the opposite lane who took a few minutes out of the day to recognize my family's grief.
And how much time are we talking about here? Five or ten minutes, tops. Often, it's less than that.
Nearly 20 years ago, I had a delivery job in the Atlanta area, where I encountered a funeral procession on a sunny afternoon.
A whole crowd of cars stopped without even pulling to the side of the road. That seemed strange to me, but I was willing to go with the local custom, as long as the driver behind me agreed to the plan.
There weren't any accidents, and traffic got moving quickly enough for my deliveries.
But I'll always remember the woman in the car in front of me who was puzzled by her fellow drivers. She looked from side to side, then angrily lifted her arms, as if to say, "What's going on?"
Maybe she was late for a job interview. Maybe she had a child at the hospital. Maybe she'd never been told that it was right and proper to stop.
I don't know her story, or the stories of the numerous drivers who whizzed by on Sunday, but I'll bet most could've waited five minutes.
And what a valuable five minutes it could've been.
I can't begin to imagine all of the unintended insults I've inflicted over the years.
Then comes a random chance to offer my good wishes to a group of suffering people.
One might not cancel out the other, but who knows how such accounts are kept?
I feel sorry for those terribly busy drivers who missed the rare moment to acknowledge Death and Grief, and to offer respect for Life.

One thing many rescue dogs seem to have in common is they all have abandonment issues. That makes perfect sense since the act of rescuing from their former home means they have left it. We all feel more comfortable in our usual surroundings. It feels like home and where we belong. Dogs are no different.
Some dogs were just left and their owners never returned. The abandoned dog immediately feels they cannot trust someone and everyone might do the same thing. These dogs require your patience and love to show them you will take care of them and they are in a forever home.
One owner of a rescue dog, Betty B. told a story about the beginning with their new dog. "We wanted to get another dog before our old dog left us. She was loved to the end. Gave her insulin shots daily and finally it was time as her quality of life was leaving."
She says that they went they went to the Steele County Humane Society in S.E. MN to look at a Chessie cross, as that is what our old dog was. Sam was surrender to the humane society as his owner had double hip replacement and could no longer care for him.
"Walked in the door and this Vizsla/Lab 1 1/2 year old dog fixed his eyes on us and the rest is history." She says she was warned against adopting an older dog and she and her husband Lloyd debated what the problems of adopting an older dog were. Everyone told them don't do it!
"Well he attached himself to my husband instantly when we got home. The first time my husband left for a meeting, when I let "Sam" out to potty he saw the pickup was gone and it was the saddest thing I have ever seen. Sam was so confused that he circled the house on a dead run looking for my husband. After a couple more times he learned to feel secure when only I was home."
Betty said,"Sam adapted to our schedule and we adapted to his. Wonderful dog! We needed to be patient with him and I would say after 30 days or so we all had our insecurities overcome. "
It seems her rescue dog was staying with foster parents and they sound like they were good ones. Betty remarked that the he foster people that had Sam in their home called us to be sure we were getting along good with him.
Many rescue dogs spend a short time in foster homes until they are adopted. The pounds and shelters just do not have the room to house and care for so many pets. Many of these dogs have been abandoned several times and are not too trusting of humans. They may be scared of having to leave another home, but more frightened that the humans will leave them again. This is a common problem with dogs that are rescued.
There are training programs you can follow that involve leaving them alone for one minute, then return, leave them alone for 2 minutes then return. Continue like this for about 15 minutes. Each time you return praise the dog and fuss with the dog in between their waiting times. This will need to be done over and over again and you may need a lot of time for this to work. Don't expect overnight changes since you have a lot of negative stuff to get rid of for your pet.
There have been several places where they recommend Australian Bush Flower Essence or Bach Flower Essence as a successful treatment for abandonment. There has also been success with acupressure and acupuncture. One suggestion one owner sears by is rather unconventional, but she claims when she is away she talks to her dog in her mind. Guess it would be worth a try. Who can say what that wonderful bond between owners and their dogs can accomplish?
Betty reminds us," Older dogs just need a little more time to settle in. This dog is amazing. We think he picked us more then we picked him! My advice....everyone wants the puppies but these older dogs have a lot to give too. Take the time to get to know the dog and let him/her get to know you."

Hillary Clinton hospitalized with blood clotBy MATTHEW LEE
The Associated Press | December 31,2012WASHINGTON Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has been admitted to a New York hospital after the discovery of a blood clot stemming from the concussion she sustained earlier this month.
Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines says her doctors discovered the clot during a follow-up exam Sunday. Reines says Clinton is being treated with anti-coagulants.
Clinton was admitted to New York-Presbyterian Hospital so doctors can monitor the medication over the next 48 hours.
