Not many may have heard of educational astrology, but it is an important branch of this science with major effects in today's society. The role of educational astrology is to guide your children or even yourself in making study- and schooling-related choices so that either your children or you may become a fulfilled and successful individual.
Children usually know from a very young age what they want to do when they will grow up. However, exterior influences – such as environment, family bonds, parents' expectations, economic and political climate, and so on – greatly impact a child's decision and dreams. Any child's dream in terms of future career/job is usually the most authentic calling, yet the aforementioned outside influences tend to inhibit these early inspirations. This is due to the fact that any event, any experience, any exterior influence impregnates the subconscious mind of the child, thus changing him.
This is why parents should be careful with what their children come in contact with: appropriate information and suggestions will help the child thrive and develop beautifully, while the opposite can create chaos and confusion.
In terms of career, we can easily notice a certain tendency over the past years: children no longer follow in the steps of their parents when it comes to choosing a career. If years ago, sons took after their fathers and daughters after their mothers, nowadays people have a whole different scope of job opportunities and they even change career several times during their lives. This change is due to the major planetary modifications which exert their influence in this life area as well.
The importance of educational astrology consists in its ability to guide us in choosing a career path. This branch of astrology is a, efficient tool in the context of profession and career. It can provide us with a set of certain guidelines regarding the best career we could choose in order be successful financially and professionally on one hand, and emotionally on the other.
This is when the birth chart, or natal chart, comes in the equation. Educating our children by observing the aspects from their chart opens doors where there would have otherwise been limits – either real or perceived – for our little ones to express their true potential. Educational astrology doesn't only confirm intuitions, thus validating our children's dreams, but it can also reveal important aspects of the human soul if practiced correctly. This kind of astrology can anticipate certain inclinations and tendencies, offering authentic answers.
To conclude, astrology is yet again the appropriate tool, indispensable even, building a happy, fulfilling life for us and our family.

Missourinet News Director Bob Priddy — "He used to joke about things that would have to wait for "Bury Derry Day." Sadly, that day is coming this week. My friend Derry Brownfield died overnight. He was 79."
Southeast AGNET –"This fall would be the 20th consecutive year I've joined a few close friends to hunt deer on Derry's property in central Missouri. Most years a highlight of the trip has been an evening at the ranch with Derry's storytelling, as he shared first hand so many of the sayings for which he has become famous. One you'll find headlined if you visit his podcasts website, is "The best time to make friends is before you need them."
AgWired — "I know there are lots of folks out there who have fond memories of Derry and favorite "Derryisms." If you would like to share – comment on this post or write on the wall of the DBS Facebook page. My personal favorite of Derry's sayings was "ignorance gone to seed" but most appropriate now is the way he signed off on every DBS:
"May the good Lord bless and keep you whether near or far away. May the good you wish for others shine on you today. May your heart stay tuned to the music that will cheer the hearts of men. May the good Lord bless and keep you until we meet again."
Devvy Kidd — "The My phone rang Saturday afternoon, March 12, 2011. A strange thing sometimes in life. I picked up the phone. I could see it was my friend, Derry Brownfield, calling. I thought, great, he wants me to guest on his radio show. Always a treat for me. One of those tech things, but the call didn't connect, so I hung up. A few seconds later, the phone rang again, but when I heard Beth's voice (his producer), I started to cry before she said one word. You see, Derry always called me to book his show."

Head Coach Lute Olson Press Conference
January 16, 2001
On his return:
"I met with the five kids to give them advice that they should get back to work and get on with their lives and they turned that around in my direction. Vicky, our oldest daughter, made the statement 'You know what mom would want you to do it at this time. She'd want you to go back.' I wanted to do it soon to get some of the emotion out of the way before the game on Thursday. That's the reason I came back yesterday morning.
"Basketball has never been a priority over family. It's my job. Family never detracts me from doing my job but family has always been a higher priority.
"The team needs stability back in terms of what they're doing. (Associate Head Coach) Rosborough and the staff did an unbelievable job, given the circumstances and pressure they were facing. The team was very shaken by Bobbi's passing. The players are coached by the whole staff and they stepped in and did what needed to be done. They did an exceptional job.
"We had a great practice yesterday. Adversity can either breaks teams or makes them better and it's made this team better. I think the team responded in a positive way. Getting back their normalcy now is really what they need.
On watching the games instead of coaching:
"It's difficult to watch the team. I would get my input in at the end of the first half, right before halftime. But it's hard because you've been involved with that team and what they've done and suddenly you are watching them like everyone else, but at least the input that I wanted was included at halftime.
On reaching preseason expectations:
"I think we can. There are some things that need to happen. We need to do a better job at putting pressure on the ball and work on both the offensive and defensive boards. They have a lot of potential and it's our job as a staff to do what we can. The player's job as individuals within the team is to understand what they can do to help the team and what they're doing that's not helping. They are going to continue to get better.
On walking onto the court on Thursday night:
"I haven't thought about it yet. But the McKale crowd is going to help that team win. That's been the one consistent thing that we can count on here. I just hope the fans will come here with one thing in mind and that's help the Wildcats win.
On USC:
"This is a very good basketball team which creates a lot of problems defending them. Their big guys are good, (Brian) Scalabrine can shoot, pass or put it on the floor. (Sam) Clancy is powerful guy who's not that different from Michael Wright in terms of what he brings to the court and they have good leadership at the point. They are a good team and that can be determined by their record."

Osteoporosis is a bone disease that affects more than half of Americans age 50 and above. It is considered to be the second leading health care problem and although more common with increased age does not only affect the elderly. You may be at increased risk if you have certain health conditions such as endocrine or hormonal disorders, due to side effects of some prescription medications, poor diet or lack of exercise.
Hereditary or genetic factors also increase risk for some. Osteoporosis is considered a "silent" disease, meaning there are no early signs, but as it progresses you may experience chronic or severe pain, reduced mobility or increased risk of fractures.
Our bones are continuously growing during our lifetime and as part of this process, known as bone resorption, the bone is broken down by cells known as osteoclasts. The bone is then built up again by cells known as osteoblasts in a process called bone formation, but the levels of osteoblasts in our body peak around age 30 then decline.
This decline can lead to an imbalance of bone growth leaving spaces between the cells, which causes the bone to lose its strength and leads to osteoporosis. This can occur in both men and women, but is more prevalent in females, particularly after menopause. Fortunately, there are ways to slow down or prevent the effects of this disease.
There are different types of osteoporosis categorized as Primary Type 1, Primary type 2 or Secondary osteoporosis. Primary Type 1 is associated with women during and after menopause and could also be referred to as postmenopausal osteoporosis. The reduced functioning of hormones such as estrogen increase the risk of developing the bone disease as the rate of bone formation decreases.
Primary type 2, also known as senile osteoporosis, occurs between the ages of 70 and 75. Low calcium, low levels of Vitamin D or a zinc deficiency can lead to reduced bone formation just as the reduced level of function in estrogen for postmenopausal women. The last type, Secondary Osteoporosis, can occur at any age and is caused by certain health conditions. Once you are diagnosed with osteoporosis you have options for treatments, which your doctor will recommend.
One of the most common treatments is the use of prescription drugs, but there are other options such as surgery, lifestyle changes and pain management. As with anything there are side effects to these traditional treatment options; therefore, natural supplements are an alternative approach. Natural supplements, such as bonexcin, are a safer alternative which helps to prevent bone loss, build new bone and keep them strong. Bonexcin also contains natural ingredients to support bone health and reduce the risk of side effects (if any).
Although there are many different options of natural supplements available to you it is important to find a high quality product with the most benefits to you and your health. One with pharmacy grade herbal extracts and high potency natural ingredients is worth looking for, with no additives or fillers.
Also, look for a product manufactured in an FDA inspected facility, as the FDA does not regulate the production of supplements. A product like bonexcin can offer all these benefits to you and is easily tolerated as the vitamins and minerals found in the supplement are also found in your everyday foods. Due to this the product is well tolerated, but as always it is important to speak with your doctor before beginning any supplement regime.

The upgraded 'Barak' missile recently implemented in the Israeli Navy will allow for better operational responses and ultimate defense
Upgraded defensive capabilities were recently incorporated to Israeli Navy forces including the new and improved "Barak" surface-to-air missiles used to protect vessels. The Naval corps is working to declare the improved missiles operational as soon as possible with trial both at sea and in the air.
"Upgrading the missile will provide an improved operational response, so we want it equipped on our vessels as quickly as possible. The Navy intends to produce a superior maritime force, and prevent any harm to our forces. These fleets will not only guard the coast, but rather defend the entire country," said a senior naval source.
Another recent development deals with the issue of balancing energy resources and the economic waters of the State of Israel. The Navy is attempting to harness to its advantage the economic security presented by resources such as gas, oil and minerals located near Israel's coast.
The navy and the IDF at large are doing all they can to execute the government's decision on this matter.

Yesterday, the third Sunday in January, due to its proximity to anniversaries of the notorious Roe v. Wade decision by the U.S. Supreme Court on January 22, 1973 making abortion legal nationwide, is and has been recognized for many years by millions of Americans as Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, especially including those in Christian churches.
Since 1973, over 5.5 million human lives have been snuffed out via abortion.
Roe originally set up a trimester test that allowed states to ban late-term abortions except if necessary to save a woman's life, examples of which you will search for in vain. In 1993, pro-lifers were hopeful that the addition of two avowed anti-Roe justices appointed to the court by President Ronald Reagan, would finally reverse the invented "right" to choose to kill babies in the womb in the case of Planned Parenthood v Casey. But Justice Anthony Kennedy (replaced defeated-nominee Robert Bork after he was slandered) betrayed the Constitution to join liberals in not only affirming Roe, but also to open the door to third trimester abortions due to alleged threats to a mother's "health." This expansion proved toxic as courts repeatedly allowed very late-term abortions based merely on the possibility that a woman would suffer "mental distress" if "forced" to bring a child to term. Thankfully, the Republican congress passed and President George Bush signed a federal law (which President Clinton had vetoed) that returned the law to the Roe standard of viability and allowed states to ban third trimester abortions.; which was upheld by the Supreme Court led by Chief Justice John Roberts.
This past year saw the ultimate culmination of a culture of death in America with the conviction of "Dr." Kermit Gosnell in May 2013, on three counts of the murder, 21 felony counts of illegal late-term abortion, and 211 counts of violating the 24-hour informed consent law. After his conviction in a Philadelphia court, Gosnell waived his right of appeal in exchange for an agreement not to seek the death penalty. He was sentenced instead to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The Supreme Court this past week upheld a Texas law that would have denied Gosnell from legally operating an abortion "clinic" in the Lone Star state since he did not have the privilege to practice in a hospital. But that same court let stand a Ninth Circuit court ruling striking down an Arizona law that prohibited abortions beyond the 20th week of pregnancy due to "fetal pain." So far, pro-abortionists haven't challenged similar fetal pain laws in less liberal circuits since they know the nation's highest court would accept an appeal on this issue should there be a split in federal Circuit Court decisions.
Neither Roe nor Casey addressed the issue of pain, only viability, the latter of which is estimated to be approximately 24 weeks. But if opponents of fetal pain bans used the same criteria outside as they do inside the womb, they would allow post-birth killings of babies unable to communicate pain. This would be consistent with President Barack Obama having fought against an Illinois law while a state senator there that would have required abortionists to provide life-saving measures for any baby who survived an attempted abortion.
Of course, that our society even has to have such a discussion is proof of our ultimate barbarity. Obviously, a human being's life is taken if aborted at any time after conception. To argue otherwise is an insult to science, not just religious belief.
"One man with courage makes a majority." - Andrew Jackson

We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living.

Are you trying to play your favorite game or song on the iPad only to find that no sound is coming out of the speakers? After checking to make sure you haven't lost your hearing (go ahead…try clapping your hands), there are a few things you can do to get your sound back. It's nothing to be embarrassed about either. I think most people would be surprised by how many emails I get asking how to turn the sound back on for their iPad or iPhone.
Once you've un-muted the iPad, there are actually a couple of places that you can adjust sound from. I'll let you know about all of them just so you can brag to your friends.
You Will Need:
- iPad or iPad Mini (any generation)
1. To turn your iPad's sound on, first go and double tap the home button to bring up the multitasking menu.
2. Next, scroll to the far left (read: swipe finger from left to right) until you see the volume slider. Also be sure to notice the mute button on the far left.
3. Make sure that the mute button is not activated. If mute is activated, this was your problem and you will see a line through the speaker icon as shown above. To un-mute the iPad, just press the mute button once so that the line is no longer showing. Keep in mind that you can also mute and re-mute the iPad using the switch on the side (assuming "Mute" is activated under Settings/General/Use Side Switch To).
4. Move the volume slider (on the right side of the image above) to the right to adjust the volume. You can also use the volume buttons on the side of the iPad.
This should solve your no sound blues on the iPad. If for some reason you are still having issues, try doing a forced restart of the iPad by pressing and holding the Home button and Sleep/Wakebutton (on top) at the same time for about 5 seconds. This will cause the iPad to restart.
Now you will be able to hear each annoying iMessage as they come through!

Suzanne Palmieri has several local appearances scheduled to promote the release of The Witch of Belladonna Bay—including a book launch at R.J. Julia Booksellers in Madison tonight. Please see event details below.
Today, Hartford Books Examiner reviews The Witch of Belladonna Bay (St. Martin's Griffin, $14.99) by Suzanne Palmieri.
This book marks the author's second for St. Martin's following her debut, The Witch of Little Italy (2013). Palmieri is also co-author of I'll Be Seeing You and the forthcoming Empire Girls for Harlequin MIRA under the name Suzanne Hayes (with Loretta Nyhan). In addition to writing, she is an educator and makes her home in New Haven County, Connecticut.
As The Witch of Belladonna Bay opens, thirty-something photo journalist Bronwyn "BitsyWin" Whalen is called home—literally—after fourteen years spent running from Magnolia Creek, Alabama, following the death of her mother, Naomi. Bronwyn's brother, Patrick ("Paddy"), has been jailed for the murder of her childhood girlfriend, leaving his eleven-year-old daughter, Byrd, in desperate need of guidance that her alcohol-dependent grandfather cannot provide. Upon returning to "the Big House," Bronwyn finds that her sassy alter-ego "BitsyWin" is quick to reemerge—and that she cannot deny the magic of her ancestors nor the responsibility of endeavoring to exonerate Paddy.
As if that wasn't burden enough, Bronwyn is forced to confront both her charming-yet-infuriating father, Jackson (who she harbors resentment toward for enabling her Opiate-addicted mother), and the love she left behind, Grant (who she suspects may be complicit in the crime) while forging a relationship with the niece she is just now getting to know. Despite their differences in age and life experience, Bronwyn and Byrd bond quickly, and the chapters that alternate between their points of view—occasionally interspersed with narration from Naomi's spiritual self, which provide a necessary counterbalance to Bronwyn's recollections of their complicated relationship—are gracefully and authentically executed, revealing as much about the other as they do about themselves.
While Palmieri's debut celebrated her Italian roots, Belladonna Bay is an affectionate nod toward her Southern heritage, and its atmosphere—rife with humidity, deep-fried green tomatoes and crawfish, and glorious magnolia trees—is suitably palpable. While the story itself stands alone, Naomi's ties to the Green and Amore families—and her gift of "the sight," which Bronwyn and Byrd also possess—connect back to characters that return readers will recall fondly from The Witch of Little Italy. Further, themes of love lost and found, families broken and put back together, and self-discovery through journeying home continue to resonate deeply.
Suzanne Palmieri is an enchantress. In The Witch of Belladonna Bay, she deftly melds magic, southern Gothicism, intricate family dynamics and a well-crafted murder mystery that beautifully balances surprise with inevitability. Once under her spell, readers will find themselves turning pages well into the night—accompanied by laughter, tears, and that absolute need to know. Fans of The Witch of Little Italy will not be disappointed; while that book was remarkably accomplished in its own right, this one shows the true depths of her talent …
With thanks to Nick Small, Publicity Manager at St. Martin's, for providing a review copy of The Witch of Belladonna Bay.

Roaring fully into its story, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" brings the franchise into full flex and intensity, no doubt dazzling readers and bringing the rest of us in tow.
Here we meet Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark as they embark upon a Victor's Tour after prevailing in the 74th games. Unconvinced by their love affair, the nefarious President Snow demands that Katniss convince the populace of her veracity and distract it from the grievous inequities under which it struggles. Should she fail, her beloveds ~ including hometown secret sweetheart Gale ~ will suffer the consequences. Thus amid emboldening whispers of rebellion across the districts, Katniss struggles to free herself of the Capitol's clutches, even as it weaves an ever-constricting plot against her very life.
At what point do social forces thrust upon one become responsibility to be assumed? Is one, in fact, somehow bound by a higher calling to fulfill such duty, or is one's destiny always one's own decision? Frodo Baggins asked the question, as did Harry Potter after him, as does Katniss Everdeen today. In the course of merely trying to stay alive, can one change a life trajectory, or are all bets off and what happens in battle stays in battle?
Katniss thinks she knows her mind (paraphrased, "Run. Now."), until Heavensbee's cruel plan forces her hand, and gradually happenstance becomes purpose; rebellion moves from survival tactic into cause, and her awakening ability to fight the real enemy grows within… and without. Yet when Snow brings in experienced game designer Plutarch Heavensbee to seal her doom, Katniss has but one option: return to the survival skills which have served her so well.
Whereas the first installment seemed mainly concerned about presenting a solid base hit (aka not screwing up), "Catching Fire" hits a triple at the very least, depending on who you talk to. Executed in strong, broad stokes by director Francis Lawrence, the returning cast actualize their characters in even more vivid color (often literally, as with Stanley Tucci and Elizabeth Banks). Where there was celebration, now is schadenfreude; where there was duty, now is devotion; where there was pomp and circumstance, now is the pageantry and hedonism of the Roman Empire in all its forms (PG style, that is). And where there was bravery, now is courage of the first order.
As well as heightened characterization and circumstance, "Catching Fire" graces us with additional new figures, including those portrayed by the stellar Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jena Malone. And to complete the experience are superior cinematography and visual effects that escalate methodically until the second hour, where they explode for the next ninety minutes; "Catching Fire" is nearly two and one-half hours long, and you'll never feel it, not once. It's vivid, it's visceral, and once it kicks into fifth gear, it stays there. I was feeling intrigued yet quite comfortable early on, but then suddenly had an inkling to spit out my gum, and it was a good idea, boy.
It is worth noting, however, that "The Hunger Games" is a readers' franchise. In both installments I, as a non-reader, felt a pervasive sense that much was being assumed; whether or not this is empirically true I can't say, but with "The Hunger Games" I always feel as though I'm present with the proceedings but not part of them, however thrilling they may be. Rather than, for example, feeling as though I'm a resident of Middle Earth, I feel as though I'm more of a welcome exchange student in Panem, running with a group that shares a history to which I'm not privy.
Perhaps such history was never discussed (this is young adult fiction, after all); still, I can never help feeling that the actual horror of the situation isn't ever fully faced, and would love to have more of a sense of how the culture came to be. It's one thing to know the facts intellectually; it's another to know the emotions and effects, both immediate and long-term, of how these games came into being. Additionally, it's often unclear as to precisely how much the tributes understand about the particulars of the games themselves, how much they understand of what it true, and what is fabricated. Is it a gruesome Truman show, or is it "Battle Royale"?
In the end it matters little enough; if you're a non-reader there is much to appreciate, and you may well come away a true fan simply by way of enjoying the compelling and surprising story underway. But if you're a reader, the likelihood is high indeed that "Catching Fire" will fulfill every hope. Either way, "Catching Fire" ignites genuine excitement for final chapter "Mockingjay" (being split into two films), and promises a glorious finish.
Story: Despite having emerged victorious and ostensibly secure for life, Katniss finds herself threatened by the vicious machinations of President Snow, bent on quelling the seeds of rebellion her actions foment throughout the districts.

Former five time champion Zab Judah and two time ex champ Paul Malignaggi took part in a Tuesday conference call to hype their Dec. 7 clash at Barclays Center. Those expecting a trash talk bonanza were five years too late, alas, as both men came off as seasoned pros, doing their jobs with focus and discipline.
Judah, the Brownsville native who now lives in Vegas, said camp has been great and he looks forward to coming back and being crowned "the king of BK." Judah said the concept of the fight only became a possibility after his last fight, against Danny Garcia. He initially dismissed it, because "Paulie is my homie." He was asked about a time when he coached Paulie when he was fighting amateur, and said he was impressed with the kid then.
Malignaggi, called "the best color commentator in the sport," for his work with Showtime, by promoter Richard Schaefer, said that his camp has also been stellar. He'd like to see a record crowd at the arena, and he touted the "great supporting cast" on the card. Paulie said that Zab was a guy to look up to, and crossing paths didn't come to mind till recently, because they were in different weight classes and were at different junctures of their career. He heard rumbling the last year or two, and it became reality with both coming off losses, and with Judah signing with Golden Boy after his April loss to Garcia.
The two were asked about the lack of trash talk, and if it is harder to get motivated because of that. No, Judah said, he is motivated by the opportunity, by the possibly being called the king of the borough. Malignaggi said that the competition is what drives all of them. "The competition is always the driving force," he said. "Winning means everything to me...it's not hard to get up for a fight like this."
Paulie said losing in front of so many locals would make it that much more difficult to deal with. Zab didn't really take on the query about the possibility of losing at home.
Both men were asked when they were at their peak. Judah said when he was 15-0, and fought Micky Ward (in 1998). "We had a dog camp and when we won the fight," he said. "I was very sharp." But he didn't want to choose one time period, noting that he felt good during his last outing. Malignaggi said in 2003-2004 he felt he was coming into his own, and his hands felt good. Then his progress was hindered by hand injuries, he said, and he does wonder how good he might have been if not for the busted hand.
Zab said he admires Paulie standing up for Brooklyn pride, and he respects him as a fighter, because he respects all fighters. Paulie said he most admires Zab because he saw him doing it, exceling, and he looked up to him as a role model.
Malignaggi said he isn't thinking that this one could be the last fight, that yes, he thinks about leaving before camp, maybe, but once he enters a fight, he is all in.
Judah declared that he doesn't think of himself as old, and that Mayweather is older than him, as are Juan Manuel Marquez and Bernard Hopkins. He is, in his mind, the best ever to put on a pair of gloves, right here and now. Yes, it seems he doesn't entertain the notion that he's slipped at all. "I am the best pound for pound fighter in the world," he said. Anyone wanting to test that notion is welcome to, he said. (Hint Floyd Mayweather hint.)
Paulie said you have to have a short memory in boxing, and have to put wins and losses behind you, and put your focus on today.
To sum up: both men feel they are still world class, aren't giving the appearance of hanging on just to get paid, are promising a solid scrap in BK...and neither it seems will give trash talk fanatics a taste!
Follow Woods on Twitter.
Duper Zab is fitting in well in seedy, shady Sin City. Just like aging working girls are delusional and lie to themselves and you, so does Zab. A used-up, aged-working girl would tell you that she is the best looking ho ever and still is.
Poor Zab is thinking that he is the best pound-for-pound boxer now and ever. WTF! Danggit! The mind of a Sin City aged ho, who lost her figure and good looks and won't let go, is no different from the mind of an aged lost-his-speed-and-talent Sin City pugilist, who won't let go.
This nowadays Duper Zab is no p4p nowadays best. And nowhere near the teen-and-20-something year-old Super Zab. Holla!
hes the greatest P4P B fighter ever ... hes delusional poor Zab
Wtf is Zab smoking on seriously
How TF does Judah continue to get these big fights? It's a question I have continually asked myself for close to a decade now; I mean, this guy long established himself as a front-runner with a bad chin and has lost enough of the major fights to make it known that he just doesn't have "it". Does he sell a lot of tickets or something?
Much better fighters don't get this much chances! Oh well...good luck to the man.
you know the sad thing is that Zab may be one of the best ever lb4lb "talented" fighters of all time....
the dude seriously had some attributes, speed, quickness, power. all that doesnt matter if you dont apply them well or have the mindset to do so.
either way he still has enough in the tank to put on a decent scrap, he did so against garcia....
i guess he is just hyping the fight and himself the way floyd does.
i like paulie as well, i bet this will be a good scrap with two seasoned pros who have slipped a bit try to out quick one another in a good scrap.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

TV Stars – Blue Peter presenter Mark Curry and actor Fred Pyne (Emmerdale Farm's Matt Skilbeck) paid a surprise visit to a bring-and-buy sale and coffee morning held at St Peter's Church, Tranmere Park, Guiseley. The sale raised £161 in aid of the Blue Peter Sight Savers Appeal.
Australian Viewpoint – Lively impressions on England in general and Yorkshire in particular were given to members of Otley Rotary Club at last week's luncheon meeting by Angela Ward, a 21-year-old student from Brisbane, Australia. Miss Ward holds a Rotary Foundation Award which gives her a year at Leeds University to further her law studies.
50 years ago – 1962
Tree Reprieve – The pride of Grange Park at Burley, the 60ft high quercifolia tree which the Moors and Parks Committee of Ilkley Council recommended should be felled, has had a last-minute reprieve. At a meeting of the Council on Wednesday it was decided that the recommendation to fell the tree should be referred back to the committee for further consideration. The tree is believed to be the only one of its type in the country apart from a specimen in Kew Gardens, and is highly thought of by local residents.
Kentucky Colonel – An impressive scroll that arrived at Creskeld Hall recently informed Sir Malcolm Stoddart-Scott that he has been commissioned a Kentucky Colonel. Sir Malcolm said this week that he is not as yet very clear what the honour involves, or the responsibilities it carries.
75 years ago – 1937
Girls' Club – A project is in hand to form a girls' club at Otley for girls working in and near the town, and with this object in view a meeting has been called for next Monday evening for people interested. The object of the club is chiefly to benefit girls from the depressed areas now working in the district. The Otley area includes Burley and Menston, and it is estimated that there are upwards of 100 of these girls working in the area, some in domestic service and others in the mills and factories.
PURE WATER – It was decided that an application be made to the Ministry of Health for sanction for a loan for the sum of £5,000 for the installation of a Bell's Filtration Plant at March Ghyll Reservoir and for the cost of the buildings required for the plant and the other incidental works, in accordance with the Waterworks Engineer's estimate.
100 years ago – 1912
Boiler Drama – A remarkable boiler explosion, probably due to the thaw following the keen frost of last week, occurred on Tuesday in the kitchen of the house attached to the Caxton Works, Leeds Road, the property of Messrs Payne and Sons Ltd. A few men were at work in the premises and had lit the kitchen grate. The exact cause of what followed is not exactly clear, but the rumbling roar of an explosion was heard. The front of the fireplace was torn out. Bricks were hurled across the room in all directions.
Mission to the Jews – A meeting in connection with the British Society for the Propagation of the Gospel among the Jews was held on Monday in Ilkley. The Chairman, in the course of his opening remarks, expressed his sympathy with the objects of that meeting, remarking that his own name was Hebrew. Mr Isaac Laft was the speaker in the evening. The cause of the Jews, he said, had been sadly neglected by the Church of Christ.

Arkema's specialty amines such as DMAPAPA, TMPDA, DEAPA and APDEA* (latest addition to the product range) offer the advantage of a multipurpose behavior in two-component systems, as they play a role both in catalysis and in the formation of the three-dimensional network, hence avoiding some of the drawbacks of traditional catalysts.
These applicative benefits are described in a Techcenter hosted on the Specialchem website, where you can also order samples of these products as well as post technical enquiries.
These specialty amines are manufactured at Arkema's La Chambre facility in the Savoie region of France. This site benefited from major investment at the end of 2009 to keep pace with the growth in the sales of the two product lines produced on site, namely amines and oxygenated solvents. The amine range comprises ethylamines, isopropylamines, diethylhydroxylamine (DEHA), specialty amines, and applicative amines (foundry amines and Alpamine trademark range). The oxygenated solvents range mostly consists of hexylene glycol (HG, Hexasol trademark) methylisobutyl carbinol (MIBC), diacetone alcohol (DA), isophorone (IPHO), and methylisobutyl ketone (MIBK).

SFMOMA is closed for renovation but continues to be present in the Bay Area's art world. Last week, they, in collaboration with the Asian Art Museum opened "Gorgeous," the museum equivalent of a summer movie. "Gorgeous" works like an arranged marriage, which is to say, sort of, kind of and not at all.
The show pairs vulgar, crass and relentlessly commercial modern art with the elegant, spiritual and timelessly beautiful art of Asia. The show's principal curators - Forrest McGill and Alison Harding of the Asian must have raided the Oxford English Dictionary to fish out every synonym, antonym or association that "gorgeous" would evoke.
Harding adds, "The gorgeous is more about the outliers, the abject, the grotesque and the unbelievably restrained. This work gets at an exquisite tension between attraction and repulsion." They came up with a free form poem of titles like Danger, Pose, Seduction, Dress Up, Fantasy, and Beyond Imperfection.
The wall text avoids "art speak" to focus on the curator's personal reactions. The museum is more interested in the visitors' response - and few bother to read the wall text anyway. The point of the show is to engage the visitor in an emotional way; too bad the engagement didn't include a bit more education.
The Asian looks like it put some thought into their choices; unfortunately many of SFMOMA's choices resemble the rejects that end up in the junk pile. It wasn't all bad; some of the East/West combos were thought provoking. But to put up Currin's quasi-porn portrait of a Barbie doll with her fixed smile, glazed eyes and large breasts, the coke spoon and Koons's kitschy sculpture of "Michael Jackson with Bubbles" with only a cursory write up of what really is involved in those pieces is dishonest.
Koons, the poster boy du jour, is a particularly egregious choice due to his ability to turn popular figures into quasi-religious icons through a masterly manipulation of the art market. I suppose that SFMOMA has to get its money's worth out of the Jeff Koons's pieces but I felt that to put them up - as if there are no serious issues involved - was unethical. Let's just look at Koons's white Michael Jackson, all the glittering gold paint and ignore not only the fact that Koons didn't make the piece but what it says about racism in American and the commodification of American art.
A gold coke spoon is beautiful? Tell that to the lives that drug use has ruined. In their search to be trendy and cover the category of Repulsive, SFMOMA and the artist crossed the line into offensive. The choice of an Apple iPhone was just lame.
There is a room full of 16th and 17th century Japanese screens that is to die for - and in the middle they put a heap of dusty, broken bricks by somebody whose name I didn't bother to get. Some pieces startle with their creative juxtaposition; the Mondrian paired with the woven head cloth from the Philippines was an inspired combo and the Buddhist deity Simhavaktra Dakini in front of the Torres' glittering curtain was simply "gorgeous."
Other pieces reach but just don't make it. Yasumasa Morimura mimics Edouard Manet's masterpiece "Olympia" (1863), obviously thinking he's being sexually provocative. He wishes. The piece just comes across as a vulgar piece of kitsch. Ditto for Mapplethorpe whose photos of men with over sized penises have been shown to the point of tedium. This is California. We don't care.
If the point is to challenge our perception of what's beautiful, the show is a success. But then, our ancestors' proverb that "all that glitters is not gold" should give a clue that knowing the difference between superficial glitz and real beauty is so old it's probably imprinted on our DNA.
If the point is to delight and enlighten, the show is a mixed bag. Many modern pieces come across as meaningless junk, made for the art market of the moment, especially when paired with the timelessly beautiful and spiritual works from the Asian's collection.
But all is forgiven when the visitor walks into the last gallery and sees Rothko's "No. 14" (1960), a red field of paint against dark blue, shimmering round the edges. and guarded by a Buddhist deity. In this setting, Rothko's statement that "We are for flat forms because they destroy illusion and reveal truth," rings true.
Gorgeous: Paintings, sculpture, textiles, furniture, graphic arts and video. Through Sept. 14. Asian Art Museum, 200 Larkin St., S.F. (415)

There is something out there that could destroy Obama's reelection chances. It is not the unemployment figures, which are constantly cooked by the Regime anyway. It is not Obama himself, though he is quite capable of tanking his reelection efforts.
What is it?
From US NEWS:
Now that the unemployment rate is marching downward, the GOP might have to find another economic woe to harangue President Obama about. If they look to their local gas pump, they could be in luck.
Thanks to tensions in the Middle East and refinery closures stateside, experts are projecting gasoline prices to jump 60 cents by Memorial Day. That's on top of an 11-cent spike over the past four weeks on the already sky-high gas prices Americans saw in January, the highest on record.
Experts say prices could even jump to $5 per gallon in cities such as New York and Chicago, and that pain at the pump could translate into some pain at the polls for Obama.
Some GOP contenders have already keyed into the issue of gas prices and how acutely consumers feel upticks in fuel costs. When she was still campaigning for the GOP nomination, Michele Bachmann promised to bring back $2-a-gallon gasoline. That might sound crazy when looking at average gas prices today, which currently hover around $3.48, but take a trip down memory lane and prices weren't far away from the $2 mark.
High gas prices are a huge concern for the Obama regime. Not only will they hit every American in the pocketbook, they will also cause ripple effects through the economy that will mean more unemployment.
On New Year's Day, I put gas in my car. It was $3.13 a gallon. Today I filled my car. The same station was selling gas at $3.49 a gallon. That is a 36 cent increase in a month. Put another way, that is about 135% inflation for a year.
When gas prices hit $5 a gallon, which some experts are predicting, Americans will scream bloody murder.
Newt Gingrich mentioned a solution in one of the debates. He said we should crash the world oil price. He mentioned this in regard to Iran and denying them the bomb but crashing the price of oil would have dramatic and immediate effects at home.
In 2008, gas hit $4.50 a gallon in August of that year. George W. Bush signed an executive order lifting the ban on off shore drilling in America. It was only symbolic but it had the effect. Five months later, gas was $1.60 a gallon.
Of course, Obama's first act as President was to reinstate the ban and look where we are.
We need to be asking every candidate why we are not drilling and refining our massive resources and why we do not have gas at $1.60 a gallon or lower.
Do you want lower gas prices again so you can spend money on other things? You won't get it from Obama.

BH Obama has no positives to be re-elected on.
No he doesn't Debrajoe, but he's desperately trying to find or manufacture one.
Obama Freezes Iran Assets in U.S.
Maybe he thinks we are dumb enough to believe he is going to be tough on Islamic terrorists.
MY GOD, THESE BANK ACCOUNTS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FROZEN TWO YEARS AGO!! Ovommitt is just killin time for Iran to attack Israel. He's not going to stop it.
Jerold, do you suppose anyone will check and see if there is any money in those accounts, or if Ovommit waited until the Iranians had withdrawn huge sums of money?
or maybe he thinks we dont know that he IS an islamic terrorist.
You're right, Deb. But unfortunately, there are tons upon tons and carloads upon carloads of total ignorance out there in the hinterlands, so most unfortunately, he still can't be counted out yet.
obama's claim on the oval office
lots and lots of money
the poor who depend on handouts
Muslims who give him 80% approval rating
and probably most of his cash pot
First, real unemployment numbers are not going down and most people know the government cooks those numbers. Second, I think the price of energy is more likely to hurt politicians than even unemployment. Here in Wyoming, gas is about $ 2.90/gal but last week I was in California where is was $ 3.90/gal. There is so much oil and natural gas here in the USA that we could be rid of Middle Eastern oil very quickly. Lower energy costs would help the entire economy and lower unemployment. Third, the Republican candidates need to unite and attack this administration's strange obsession with energy system that do not work. Even Romney should be able to articulate this issue.
@Michael "MOST PEOPLE KNOW THE GOV COOKS THOSE NUMBERS" NO THEY DON'T his lies resinate with more ppl than you know.
In 2011 what was the number one export out of the United States?
......GASOLINE AND FUEL OIL!!! http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/energy/story/2011-12-31/un...
We need to stop exporting gasoline and fuel oil. It needs to stay here so we can have lower energy prices.

After a long 11 months, Velocity Striders head coach Michael Johnson wanted his team to finish the summer strong.
The Amateur Athletic Union running team, comprised mainly of Columbia County athletes, did just that at the AAU Club Nationals from July 10-14 in Orlando, Fla.
And now they can call themselves national champions.
Baseball tryouts
• Former Chicago White Sox player and Curtis Baptist baseball coach Chico Valdez has tryouts for a 9-year-old travel ball baseball team. Players can't have turned 10 before May 1, 2013. Contact Van Dixon at (706) 830-2806 for information and dates of tryouts.
• Tryouts for 9U and 11U travel baseball teams are Saturday at 9 a.m. at Riverside Park on Hardy McManus Road, open to players that do not turn 12 before May 1, 2014. Call Eddie Haley at (706) 726-1410.
It was another successful season for the Columbia County 4-H S.A.F.E. (Shooting, Awareness, Fun and Education) Clay Pigeon Target Sporting Program.
Known as the shotgun club, its teams swept through district competition, going on to the state event May 11 at the Rock Eagle 4-H Center in Eatonton, Ga.
Taking second place in the junior division of the modified trap in the district competition were Benjamin Brewton, Ben Morbit, Clayton Morris, Grey Murray, Trent Rutledge, Garrett Serigney and Hunter Thomas.
Martinez Evans Little League baseball teams continue to keep the pressure on their opponents.
At the state level, two teams won their first two games in pool play, one team split and another district champion was crowned.
Fighting out of the loser's bracket after a 2-1 loss to Master's City, the 11-12 Mell National came back to win the District 6 championship. They beat Mell American 19-3, got back at Master's City 11-3 then beat West Point 11-5 in the title game.
The CSRA boasted a large group of golfers in the field for this year's Georgia State Amateur Championship. The local contingent included more than a half-dozen players from Columbia County. Five players who hail from Columbia County made the cut on the difficult course at Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw. Par was at a premium all week long at Pinetree, a course that produced the event's first over-par finish in 20 years. The winner was Columbus native and Kennesaw State University golfer Jimmy Beck. He shot a final round 2-under 69 to finish 1 over par for the event and win by 2 shots.

NORTH AUGUSTA — Calvin Taylor had always been the one watching from afar, seeing older players on the benches and on the courts at the Peach Jam.
But now his time has arrived.
The rising junior at Augusta Christian is playing for the Southern Stampede as part of the Nike Peach Jam's Sweet 16 Invitational Tournament at North Augusta's Riverview Park Activities Center. In Wednesday's 79-61 loss to the King James Shooting Stars, Taylor played a couple of minutes in each half, with his mother among those watching.
From performing well at the Division I collegiate level to making it to the major leagues, Columbia County baseball players have been shining individually.
Our teams haven't been too shabby either, evidenced by Greenbrier High's spring run to the state championship series for the second consecutive year and the play of Evans and Lakeside in the state playoffs.
If the play of younger players in the county is any indication, there may not be much dropoff in the talent level of our high schools for a while.
Gymnastics Gold in Martinez has been leaving its mark on regional and national gymnastics competitions.
Jim Mousseau started the facility as Mr. Mooses Mighty Mytes in 1990 before it became Gymnastics Gold in 1994. His gymnasts have been competing in USA Gymnastics and Amateur Athletic Union Gymnastics competitions.
"In the USA program, it's a little tougher to get up there," said Mousseau, calling both good experiences. "To go to the AAU Nationals, there's not a qualifier, you can just go."

What is Palliative Care?
Palliative medicine is a medical subspecialty provided by doctors who offer palliative care for people who are seriously ill. Palliative care relieves suffering and improves quality of life for people of any age, and at any stage in a serious illness, whether that illness is curable, chronic or life-threatening.
Palliative care:
- Provides relief from pain and other uncomfortable symptoms.
- Assists you in making difficult medical decisions.
- Coordinates care with your other doctors and helps you navigate the often-complex health care system.
- Guides you in making a plan for living well, based on your needs, concerns and goals for care.
- Provides you and your loved ones emotional and spiritual support and guidance.
Palliative care is provided by a team that may include a doctor who specializes in palliative medicine, a nurse, pharmacist, social worker, dietician, volunteers and others.
Q. What's the difference between palliative care and hospice care?
A. Palliative care is whole-person care that relieves symptoms of a disease or disorder whether or not it can be cured. You can receive palliative care at any stage of a serious illness, whether that illness is potentially curable, chronic or life-threatening.
Hospice is a specific type of palliative care for people who likely have six months or less to live. In other words, hospice care is always palliative, but not all palliative care is hospice care.
If you have a serious illness, you may be seeing a hospitalist, personal physician or specialist. Ask your doctor if palliative care might be helpful for you.
(Source: American Academy of Hospice & Palliative Medicine)
Pediatric Palliative Care
Dealing with the diagnosis of a serious illness in a child is difficult for the entire family. It is important that your child, your family, and you get the support and care you need during this hard time. A special type of care called palliative (pal-lee-uh-tiv) care can help. Palliative care is a key part of care for children living with a serious illness. It is also an important source of support for their families.
The National Institute of Nursing Research has created a series of videos, handouts and information addressing frequently asked questions about the use of palliative care with pediatric patients. These materials are available online. Click here to learn more.

College Hockey:Denver Tops Minnesota State, Ties For First In WCHA
MANKATO, Minn. — Not this time.
Denver finally made good on a big lead against Minnesota State by defeating the Mavericks 5-2 in front of 4,091 at the Midwest Wireless Civic Center.
The No. 1 Pioneers were able to ride a four-goal first period and keep MSU from coming back against DU, something the Mavericks (8-16-4 WCHA, 11-17-6 overall) have done three times in the past season and a half against Denver.
"That was a very important win for us in a lot of ways," DU coach George Gwozdecky said. "The start to the game was probably critical for our success."
Seniors Kevin Ulanski and Jeff Drummond paced the Pioneers. Ulanski had a goal and two assists, and Drummond had two goals. Freshman Peter Mannino stopped 32 shots in the win.
With the win, the Pioneers (18-6-2 WCHA, 23-8-2 overall) moved into a tie with Colorado College, DU's opponent next weekend, for the WCHA title.
"Now we've got ourselves in the position where the championship, the league, is going to be decided in the state of Colorado between two teams that have battled each other," Gwozdecky said.
"It's a great rivalry. It has been for 50-plus years," added Gwozdecky. "Add that rivalry to the immensity of the series coming up itself, boy, talk about a spectacle. Talk about drama … It's going to be something special."
Denver came out with a vengeance in the first period, outshooting MSU 14-10 and outscoring the host Mavericks 4-0.
Only 1:24 into the period, Drummond scored his first goal of the period to put the Pioneers up. The forward drove hard to the net and put a backhander past MSU goalie Chris Clark for his 13th goal of the season.
"The key for us was come out after last night's game and setting the tone to play the way we know we can," Drummond said.
At the six minute mark, Denver got another goal from a senior winger. Ulanski cut through the slot and danced to the left circle before firing a laser into the right corner of the net.
"Kevin has really played well. He had a good series," Gwozdecky said.
The Pioneer lead increased on two more extra-man goals. While MSU was already down a man, referee Randy Schmidt made a questionable checking-the-goalie call on Maverick forward Rob Rankin. That gave DU a full two minutes of five-on-three play.
It took the Pioneers just 39 seconds of that time to score. From the right side of the net, Paul Stastny sent a pass through the crease to Luke Fulghum on the other side of the net. Fulghum buried the puck past Clark at 18:02 of the frame.
The lead increased to 4-0 as Denver scored 26 seconds later. Ulanski faked a shot from the right side that lured Clark out from the crease. The senor then found Drummond on the right side of the net for an easy tip in goal.
"(Ulanski) made a great play," Drummond said. "Backdoor, wide open net. Anyone could have scored that. It was just a great play by (Ulanski).
"Jeff was due," Gwozdecky said. "He was overdue. I was really glad to see him put in a couple early and give us that cushion that we needed."
Mannino continued his strong play and made a huge save on David Backes to keep the Mavericks scoreless. On a MSU power play, Backes had a wide open left side of the net that he aimed for on a slap shot. However, Mannino dove to his right and got a piece of the shot, and the puck went off the crossbar and into the crowd.
"I thought he played really well," Gwozdecky said of his netminder. "I was really proud of the fact that he responded to the challenge of having maybe the poorest game of his young career and the team not playing very well. We needed to have a strong game from our goaltender, and I thought Peter did terrific things with his start tonight."
MSU did finally get on the board at 17:39 of the second. Captain Brad Thompson found a bouncing puck and chipped it over the Denver goalie to make it a 4-1 game.
Travis Morin put the Mavericks within two at 5:54 of the third. The sophomore fired a shot on the power play that got through traffic and beat Mannino.
But DU's Matt Carle kept the patented Maverick comeback from rearing its head. The defenseman followed up a rush and wristed a shot off the post to beat Jon Volp, who replaced Clark at the start of the second.
Carle's goal closed out the scoring as the game finished 5-2.
"They hurt us in the first period," MSU coach Troy Jutting said. "After the first period, the game was 2-1 us. But you can't go down four goals right away to a team like that."
Schmidt appeared to lose control of a game that included 59 penalty minutes. With 3:49 left, Backes was given a five-minute checking-from-behind penalty and was kicked out of the game. The play incited a short melee, delaying Denver's eventual win.
"I think that was a little frustration, and those things happen at times," Jutting said.
The game was a much-needed confidence builder for Denver, which had given up 18 goals combined in its previous three games.
"I think it was important for guys to realize what kind of hockey you need to play at this time of year," said captain Matt Laatsch. "I think guys definitely understand that. The run-and-gun stuff that went in October, November, and December doesn't work now. You gotta be committed to defense."
While Denver has its biggest weekend in its season finale against Colorado College next weekend, the Mavericks have finished league play and will watch the field pan out. Meanwhile, MSU will face Nebraska-Omaha next weekend in nonconference play.
"It's what we've been looking forward to for quite some time. It's definitely going to be some fun," Drummond said.

Sept. 6, 2010
PULLMAN, Wash - The Washington State women's swim team competed in ideal conditions at the Snake River Challenge, Labor Day. The annual event consists of a 2.2 mile swim on the Snake River from Granite Point to Wawawai Landing, followed by a 2.2 mile run back to Granite Point.
Senior Jennifer Dean and junior Jessie Craig were neck-and-neck coming out the water to the transition station, with senior Talor Whitaker right at their heels. Once the women were on dry land, Dean used her six years of cross country experience to separate from the pack, finishing with a winning time of 62 minutes, 3 seconds. The Campbell, Calif., native won the event last year but was able to improve her time by over nine minutes.
"I just wanted to push myself and bring the most out of myself and do whatever I could to try and win it again," Dean said.
Junior Sarah Hicks completed the run in the quickest time, passing several people to finish second in a time of 63:05. Fellow junior Melissa Bogert took third, finishing in 63:19.
"It's great to see the returners on the team come back even more prepared than they were the year before and they just keep improving," WSU Head Coach Erica Quam said.
This WSU tradition kicks off the season each year and not only gives the team an intense workout to start the year, but allows the swimmers to become stronger as a group before the season begins.
"It's a really good way to start off the year," Dean said. "This year we have nine new girls and 14 returners and to do something this grueling right off the bat, it can only bring you closer."
Quam said she was impressed with how closely the girls finished the swim, and has a lot to look forward to during the 2010-11 season.
"I think we have a group with a lot of great energy," Quam said. "They are supportive and they are doing a lot of things from a leadership standpoint. I think we have a strong group with a lot of character and I am really excited for this season."
The Cougars will open the season with a meet against Idaho and Seattle, October 8, 2010 in Moscow, Idaho.

I saw a thread in the men's forum and thought I'd start a parallel thread here. What's up with the fan base for women's basketball? We have SOLD over 10K tickets and yet game after game (even during the "streak") we probably have 3-4K show up. Then to make matters worse, this is one of the most passive crowds I've seen. There wasn't a big cheer yesterday until the end of the game.
To make matters worse, the students are barely represented. What will it take to get the students to show up for the Sisters? It's embarrassing to have the end of the stadium void of bodies. If the students won't show, reduce their section and sell the tickets to donors!
