Thought you might might like this Readers Digest story about my dad from 1963 … Like the "horse whisperer" expression which he used in the 1958 "Horse Tamer", he always could spot a good phrase.
Have a sweet day!
Never the Small Stuff
W. W. Ward
Walter is a changed man," Rosemary Farley told my wife one night at the Venice, Fla., Yacht Club. "That white jacket he's wearing came back from the cleaners today with two spots on the right sleeve. Normally he would have hit the ceiling. This time he just smiled and put it on and went in to kiss the kids goodnight."
A little later one of the members tripped and dumped his martini into Walter's lap. I was sitting next to him, and I drew back politely to give him room in which to-explode. "Don't worry," Walter smiled at the chagrined man. "It will dry in a few minutes."
At dinner that evening I got a collect long-distance call from a no-good ex-friend whom I haven't heard from in years. He was already into me for a few hundred bucks.
Now he told me he was stranded in Dallas and needed $20 to get back to his gold mine in Mexico. Would I wire it to him tonight, please?
I went back to our table, fuming. The nerve of that guy! I grumbled through dessert and scowled into my coffee. I wouldn't dance with my wife. Finally she got up to dance with a handsome bachelor.
"I suggest you go have a talk with Walter Parley," she said pointedly.
I found Walter on the porch. He's a nice guy. He writes those Black Stallion stories that kids have been crazy about for more than a decade, and recently Random House published his latest opus about Man o' War. We're good friends, but I would never have said that he was a paragon of equanimity.
"My wife suggests I talk to you," I said. "What have you got? Tranquilizers?"
He just grinned. Then he told me what had happened to him. "I had to go to Sarasota the other day. You know what that's like these days," he said.
Who didn't? Construction work is going on, and the miles are tortuous, with bumpy detours from one unfinished lane to the other unfinished lane, with the pace set by the slowest driver.
"I had a 15-year-okl boy with me," Walter went on. "Friend of the family who wanted a lift to Sarasota. Just outside Venice I got behind a big van —the kind you can't even see around. Several times I tried to pass him, only to whip back as cars came the other way. I was about to scream, when this boy —this 15-year-old kid —reached over and touched me on the shoulder.
" 'Don't sweat the small stuff, Mr. Farley!' the kid told me."
It hit him like a bomb. Waller said. He slowed down and began watching the scenery. It was nice, something he was noticing for the first time, with waving palms and glimpses of the bay.
"What that kid said got me thinking about the 'big sluff' I could worry about, if f wanted to worry at all," Walter told me. "But that truck up ahead? Small stuff, really, like spots on my white dinner jacket or somebody spilling a martini into my lap.
"This is the first completely relaxed evening that I can remember. Two or three things have happened that once would have griped me.
Now I just think, 'Don't sweat the small stuff,' and the irritation goes away."
He grinned at me and got up to go dance with his wife. When I went looking for my wife, she was still dancing with the handsome bachelor and looking entranced. My temper stirred.
"Don't sweat the small stuff," I said to myself, and cut in.
"Thank heavens," my wife whispered. "What a bore—and the worst dancer on the floor!"
I won't insist that the kid's phrase changed my life. But during the next few weeks, when the normal, human quota of irritants occurred, I found that I could forestall the quick flare of temper. My wife and I have talked about it several times. What is the "big stuff" it's all right to worry about? We made a list together.
Our health. The health of our kids. Their happiness and ours. A certain amount of security. The keeping of good, close friends. Love and understanding between us. Doing the things that are important to ourselves, our loved ones.
The too-rare steak when we ordered medium? A pillowcase lost in the laundry? The red light that takes so long to change? The washing machine breaks? The kids fight? The toast burns? Small stuff. Too little to spoil a day, an hour, a moment!
I don't know the kid, but I think of him often—him and his wisdom. "Don't sweat the small stuff!"

Artist Statement:
Photography is a medium that was founded at the intersection of art and science. Familiar and misunderstood, it continues to elude comfortable categorizations and precise definitions. Its reliance on clearly established principles of optics and chemistry in chance encounters with light and time form the foundation of beauty and madness that is the essential nature of this art.
Exquisite evocation of the intangible from dissonant forces of the commonplace gives form to the enigmas of time, memory and being when photography is at its best. For me, there is a sense of alchemy in photographs that reflect the elusive mysteries of what is most precious to the maker.

Within the first narration of the new film Kick-Ass, we hear the title character ponder the question as to why there are no superheroes in real life. Although throughout the film we see many of the reasons as to why a regular-joe doesn't pursue a life as a vigilante, some aspects are not addressed. Personally, I really enjoy the idea of superheroes, and obviously enjoy a good comic book every now and again, so why not? Why WOULDN'T someone take the chance and become a superhero? Let's examine the reasons here, shall we?
Lack of Powers:
It seems obvious, doesn't it? How can a man be expected to fight strong adversaries and hardened criminals within their city if they have no special abilities to fight or stop them? The fact of the matter is, superheroes are called such because they generally have "super" powers. This is what sets them apart and makes them want to use this power for good.
Of course, exceptions may come in the form of someone who was trained from a young age to fight crime, and have essentially been bred into killing machines with morals, but less-than childlike experiences. An example of this would typically be Hit Girl from Kick-Ass, as her father trained her, and caused a well... let's say "interesting" mindset for her in the world. Other exceptions would come in the form of the super-wealthy or geniuses that have the resources to make gadgets that essentially become their powers. Of course, these types of heroes must have a "moment of clarity" or tragic moment that cause them to want to use their wealth or mind for the greater good, such as Tony Stark and his time being held hostage in IronMan.
One of the other major problems with double-lives is that they are very taxing on a person, especially if that person does most of their vigilante work at nighttime, in addition to maintaining a job during the day (ie, Superman or Spiderman). Of course, the incredibly wealthy do not need to worry about that fact; they do, however, often need to keep up a certain appearance in the public eye, such as Batman. Batman takes on a persona so different from his superhero image, as a means of hiding his true identity, and therefore safe-guarding his life and those within it.
But What About People who DO have Special Powers?
Now, I know many people don't believe in superpowers, but what is to say that they don't exist? Let's think about this theoretically: If someone was to have a super power, why wouldn't they use it to become a vigilante?
This question makes me think back to X-Men; there were many "mutants" around the world with different powers, but many of them were afraid of reaction from the public, and so hid their abilities. This could be a reason as to why many would not become a vigilante, as they are afraid of being considered a freak, or worse, being found and examined scientifically by the government and scientists as to why they posses these abilities (granted the hero could be located and detained, of course). In addition, if someone were to have a power, that does not necessarily mean they are ambitious or righteous enough to use their abilities for "the greater good". They could always use it for less-than moral activity, or even more likely,
just for their own personal use at home.
Copycat Heroes:
As soon as one person decides to become a hero, it's only a matter of time before someone else thinks "why can't I do that?" It is only human nature to want the glory that someone else has, and of course, to overstep them in terms of power. This is, in fact, the reasoning that Red Mist claims he became a superhero in Kick-Ass-- though we know differently-- and of course everyone thinks this makes a lot of sense.
The problem of copycats is inherently the fact that many people will become lulled under a false sense of security in their abilities, likely causing many people to become hurt or killed, simply because they think they can be a hero when they really don't have the skill to become one.
The Surfacing of Villains:
Ah yes, the problem of the corrupt. You see, not everyone wants to act morally in society, and it's not just a problem of copycat heroes, but also others that want to use the same sort of status to act as a villain. With good, there is evil, as it is inherent in the world. How we wish it wasn't so, but alas, this is the problem with putting yourself out there as a hero: someone will disagree with your points of view, and act differently, or want to be known as the force that took you down.
Specific Hero Impersonators:
This aspect was somewhat addressed within Kick-Ass, as a boy dressed up as Kick-Ass for a party, and was killed under the impression that he was the real hero. Although not ALL hero costumes are easy to reproduce, many of them might be easy to recreate given time and energy.
So what is the big deal with people dressing up like their heroes? Well, for children or those attending a party it might not be so bad, but what about those who intend to use the image of the hero for their own gain? Someone could use their identity as a means of getting someone to wrongfully trust them, or to get away with certain situations under the impression that they are in fact the hero acting for the greater good. All in all, the fact that people might be inclined to impersonate a well-known symbol of righteousness can be considered both a positive, and potentially negative thing.
As a matter of protecting them, it might seem like a good idea to not inform them; at the same time, however, this could create a lot of secrecy and questions. Even further, sometimes personal ties that know of your secret identity can become helpful to the progress of the vigilante work; the question now becomes whether or not to remain completely secretive of a superhero identity, or to indulge in a few personal relations being in the loop.
An essential if you don't want to be found, or possibly caught off-guard when you are acting as just a normal person. Also essential if you do not want people from your personal life to be harmed, captured, or held ransom. Sometimes these people in a hero's life is aware of their other identity, but sometimes they are not.
Then again, sometimes superheroes don't see the necessity in hiding who they are, and want to expose themselves such to improve their personal image. An obvious example of this would be Tony Stark boldly claiming "I Am Iron Man". His intentions were obviously to seem like a strong, noble force in the world after being slandered for making destructive weapons that could destroy in fact destroy it. Also, it is in his somewhat arrogant nature to want to be seen as amazing by the general public. Another example would be Adrien Veidt in The Watchmen, as he exposes his identity in order to create a "brand" around his name, and gain even more wealth and resources than his mind has already created (albeit, he turns out to be a "hero" of a conflicting nature). Of course, allowing the public to know of your personal identity creates the problem of villains being able to locate you easier, but this is the price one pays for a bit of pride, glory, and resources; plus, these men are usually quite intelligent (not always), and can think of ways to deflect the largest, most obvious threats to themselves.
Let's face it, even if being a hero is not exactly a common ambition for people, it does not in any way demean the literature surrounding the idea, nor will it stop people from believing that one day there may be a symbol for them to put their faith in.
Those are just some of the major aspects of the superhero persona that I have established as being turn-offs for becoming one. Are there any more that I missed or someone else could think of?

Jan. 26, 2013
TUCSON, Ariz. - Eighth-ranked Stanford pulled off the upset of No. 6 Arizona to complete its weekend Pac-12 Conference women's swimming and diving dual meet sweep.
One day after downing No. 20 Arizona State, the Cardinal stepped up to challenge once again with Saturday's 161-139 win at the Hillenbrand Aquatics Center behind a pair of individual wins by Maya DiRado.
Stanford worked from behind after Arizona notched early wins in the 200 medley relay and 1,000 free.
Andi Murez (1:46.79) got the Cardinal motor running with a win in the 200 free. Stanford then took three of the top five spots in the 100 back, led by Felicia Lee's 54.28.
Sarah Haase (1:02.06) and Katie Olsen (1:02.18) steadied Stanford in the 100 breast by going 2-3 in the race.
Andie Taylor (1:59.69) touched ahead of teammate Kirstie Chen (2:01.90) to keep the momentum going with a 1-2 finish in the 200 fly.
The 50 free featured a first-place finish by Maddy Schaefer in 22.56, who one race later took second by going 49.10 in the 100 free. Murez was third in the event with a 49.71.
DiRado (1:56.26) was first in the 200 back, followed by second-place Annemarie Thayer (1:58.16).
Olsen (2:13.26) rebounded with a win in the 200 breast while Taylor (4:50.60), Allison Brown (4:56.47) and Julia Anderson (5:02.20) controlled the 500 free by finishing 2-3-4.
DiRado (2:00.52) cashed in on the daily double with a win in the 200 individual medley and was joined in the top three by Sarah Haase (2:02.92).
Stephanie Phipps was second in the 1-meter (290.30) and 3-meter (293.25) events.
Stanford put a feather in its (swim) cap when Murez, Lee, Julia Ama and Schaefer won the 400 free relay in 3:18.31.
The Cardinal returns home next weekend for two more league dual meets against UCLA (Feb. 1) and USC (Feb. 2). Live results will be available at GoStanford.com.

Lessons from Researching Human Rights Law Application in Colombia
By John Lindsay-Poland
On December 14, 2012, Open Society Foundations convened a conversation in Washington on how to more effectively apply the Leahy Amendment, the US law that prohibits assistance to any foreign military or police unit if there is credible information that it has committed a gross human rights abuse, unless effective steps have been taken to bring to justice those responsible. This is known as human rights vetting. I have worked for application of Leahy Law in Colombia for several years, and was asked to speak on a panel about lessons learned as a researcher and activist. This is an edited version of my comments.
Colombia in the last decade brought together eight extraordinary conditions:
▪ high-level and persistent political commitment by the United States to military assistance;
▪ a US policy that explicitly promoted human rights improvements (the Leahy Law was actually created with Colombia in mind);
▪ massive US aid across more than 500 units;
▪ systematic murders of civilians, committed by Army units across the country;
▪ impunity rates of 98% for those abuses;
▪ a sophisticated judicial apparatus that sought legitimacy by opening human rights investigations;
▪ experienced and organized human rights groups documenting the abuses;
▪ the distinction of being the country where the State Department said it had its best Leahy vetting operation.
In examining Leahy Law application in Colombia, we began by examining the Foreign Military Training reports published by State Department, to see what units were actually receiving US assistance. These reports are required by law to list for each training event, the unit and number of people receiving military training, the funding source, the course, cost, dates and location. The reports have significant data issues: under-reporting the number of soldiers and police trained in Colombia and Mexico; they're typically posted nine months or more after the statutory deadline; units often are only identified as "Army" or other vague categories.
However, in many countries they do identify some units. Beginning in 2006-07, we also received a list of vetted units through Senator Leahy's office, and compared them. We found that individuals from 51 units were receiving training, but were not vetted. This was during the period when individuals were considered "units" (which is no longer the case under a clarification of the law approved last year). We also saw units receiving training whom we knew to be among the worst in Colombia. This was a first call to our attention that something was amiss.
In 2009, Colombian human rights organizations obtained from the Prosecutor General's national human rights unit a list of investigations it had opened into 2,054 reported extrajudicial killings. These reached back to 1985, though the vast majority had been committed since 2000. The list showed the status of investigations, but not the unit. By 2010, two years after these killings became a public scandal, Colombia had still only successfully prosecuted soldiers for a few dozen of these killings - almost no "effective measures" were being taken to bring those responsible to justice.
Colombian groups also obtained, using Colombia's freedom of information law, a list of investigations into killings by the military justice system, which did identify the brigades responsible, and used these to identify units for killings on the list from the Prosecutor General's list. Colombian state agencies have subsequently refused to release such detailed lists of investigations into extrajudicial killings that either the civilian or military justice systems have opened.
Some Colombian human rights organizations also legally represent victims' families. In the Colombian justice system, at least under the old oral system, victims' representatives often received documents as part of the formal investigation that sometimes identified responsible units. In nearly a thousand extrajudicial killings, NGOs or the media identified a unit responsible (at least the brigade). About half of these had been published in a manner that they could be shared with the State Department.
We also looked at unit commanders. If a commander of a unit has a history of abuses, then when that commander moves to a different unit, that unit is also problematic. We maintain that other command staff in a unit, such as the head of intelligence and chief of staff, also have important roles in human rights violations, and if they have a history of abuses, their unit should be examined. We began to create a database of commanders and what unit they were in at what time. The Colombian Army, as part of its effort to seek legitimacy in its counterinsurgency, was in some ways more transparent about where they were operating and who their commanders were than many other militaries in the world. From the Colombian military's web site, we were able to obtain information on commanders' unit assignments, which we cross-referenced with information on violations to see when Leahy Law should have been applied to commanders of units that may not have had as bad a history, but the commanders did.
We faced a challenge that is very sensitive. Information I assumed the State Department would have, it either didn't have, or it didn't have in a form that they could use it, or they didn't believe it was credible. Since NGOs had published information on nearly 500 extrajudicial killings where the unit was identified, and many of those units were subsequently vetted and approved for assistance, I thought that we had a difference of interpretation about what is credible.
I also assumed that if the Prosecutor General's human rights unit created a database of over 2,000 extrajudicial executions it was investigating that was obtained by Colombian NGOs, that State would have obtained the same information, especially since the State Department also funds that unit.
But I learned later that I was mistaken - that either they had not asked for the information, they did not have the information, or it was not entered into their database. So that assumption was incorrect, but I also think we had different interpretations about what is credible information. Not having dialogue between State and NGOs and researchers made it impossible to know. For this reason, I think it would very helpful if, when the State Department uses NGO data and can't reach a conclusion that it constitutes credible information of a serious abuse, that they reach back to the group that generated the data, because often there is more the NGO can offer to complete the picture, just as State often obtains information that NGOs do not have. In order to get that complete picture about a case, State and civil society need to cross-reference information. That's why we need a dialogue and back-and-forth.
It was not until this year, two years after publishing an extensive study on this subject, that I learned that State did not have gathered together, in a format that identifies responsible units, the publicly available data we had on extrajudicial executions. So I created a database that brought together information from public and sharable sources on 600 extrajudicial executions for which a military unit had been identified, and shared it with officials in the State Department's bureau that is centrally responsible for applying the Leahy Law. As a result, ten units named as responsible for extrajudicial killings that had been nominated for U.S. assistance this year were excluded, and the State Department reports that many additional units were not nominated for assistance because of this data.
It is gratifying that information we provided was used to deny assistance to units responsible for killing civilians. As important is the direct dialogue and increased understanding that led to providing information in a usable format.
Finally, one other issue. After we published our report in 2010, which generated a lot of attention within State and the US Embassy, the list of Colombian units that are vetted and approved for US assistance was classified. It is hard for me not to draw the conclusion that the State Department's classification was for political reasons, because it was inconvenient to have criticism of the lack of implementation of the Leahy Law. No one had ever voiced any kind of security concern about disclosing the list of vetted units before our report, nor has anyone subsequent to classifying the list pointed to any specific security concern. If we are assisting foreign governments with lethal assistance in a situation of warfare, where security forces are authorized to take human life, we should know who are the units that are receiving assistance from the US tax dollar. It's just a matter of good governance.

In a move to expand its rule over property, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy proposed a change to the Clean Water Act that would allow EPA regulation over land temporarily wet with rainwater including seasonal streams, ditches, and ponds on private property.
In what has been called an EPA land grab by Fox News, the move would extend government control of lands that temporarily handle some of the nation's waters. That was the rationale applied in proposing permanent rule over temporarily wet lands, thus extending government control over private property even when it's dry.
Louisiana Senator David Vitter (R) described the move with its true significance.
The...rule may be one of [EPA's] most significant private property grabs in U.S. history.
The EPA moves in ways that speak less of protecting the environment than expanding government control. Wetlands on private property currently withstand scrutiny by the Army Corps of Engineers in the name of conservation so that structures or buildings are not constructed on such lands. The proposal would give EPA control beyond conservation of such lands, even on privately owned property, thus absolving owners of legal rights to their own land.
With its hand on such lands, it won't be far for the EPA to declare control over any land that gets wet or is rained upon, thus opening the government's grasp on any non-desert acreage it does not already own.
On the rule of law and the rights of property rests the foundation of the success of a free society in the United States. The latter is about to be rescinded by the EPA, representing veritable land theft by government and one more citizens' rights removed.
Newt Gingrich had it right when he proposed ridding the nation of that egregious agency.

NYC Leadership Academy Online Coaching Modules
Created in collaboration with Missouri's Administrator Mentor Program (AMP) and with input from leaders in various school districts, these materials and resources are designed to support you in your ongoing learning and the refinement of your coaching/leadership practice. Representing the latest in cutting edge thinking about the development of effective leadership skills and behaviors, these modules explore the Facilitative Competency-Based (FCB) Coaching model in conjunction with the Leadership Performance Planning Worksheet (LPPW).
Through FCB Coaching, coaches/mentors foster trusting professional relationships with school leaders, enabling school leaders to reflect on targeted leadership behaviors, practices, and school challenges while developing clear action steps to accelerate school transformation and student achievement. These modules will allow you to explore the FCB Coaching model, see examples of FCB Coaching in action, and practice coaching strategies that target critical leadership behaviors for early-career school leaders.
The scenarios and videos in these modules were developed by the coaches at the NYC Leadership Academy and are based on their coaching experiences.

Eat Slowly, Lose Weight...
I'm a slow eater. I don't rush, period. And findings in the British Medical Journal suggest people who eat fast and fill up quickly are 3 times more likely to become overweight than people who eat at a more leisurely pace; via RealAge.
Actually, eating MORE can help you slim down too. High fiber foods, like green vegetables, beans and fresh fruit, fill you up quickly and provide lots of nutrients, but are low in calories. So you'll feel satisfied and still lose weight!
In fact, Dr. Fuhrman cites lack of a fiber as a primary reason why people get fat.

There have been many strong women in crime dramas over the years, and last week we got to chat with quite a few of them. As The Paley Center for Media discussed the female gender in the genre last Thursday, we spoke with S. Epatha Merkerson (Law & Order's Lieutenant Anita Van Buren), Holly Robinson Peete (21 Jump Street's Officer Judy Hoffs), Marg Helgenberger (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation's Catherine Willows), and the legendary Angie Dickinson (Police Woman's Sergeant "Pepper" Anderson) about sharing each other's company and leaving their mark on television history.
"I'm a little star-struck, to be honest with you," said Holly of being included amongst the group. "Angie Dickinson was one of my heroes growing up, and made me want to be on TV, and certainly made me want to be a cop. I'm a little excited right now."
"I actually watched Police Woman when I was a kid," added Marg, "and I was always impressed with how she was like a trailblazer. There wasn't a woman on TV that I recall that was like that. Because besides being competent and intelligent and strong, she was also really hot and sexy - and I loved that she was, and that she didn't compromise her femininity or her sexuality to do her job."
So when Angie was starring in Police Woman back in the 1970's, did she have any idea that she was doing something that would still be spoken about today? "I think we saw it all the way," she reflected, "because it worked well. It was not a struggle like are we doing the right thing or not. We felt we were. We just kind of treated [the characters] as human beings more than man [or] woman. And I think we realized all along we were doing well, and that we might be role models."
As for the other actresses, some had an idea that they might be leaving an impression on television, and others didn't. "When Stephen Cannell and Patrick Hasburgh created the character of Judy Hoffs, I think that they really went for something different. They were really trying to think outside the box," Holly told us. "And remember, this was when FOX wasn't the Bones network. It was channel 99 and a coat hanger. It was definitely new, breakthrough TV, and it's wonderful that this character still lives on."
"I had an agent at the time - the operative word is had - who said to me, 'Look, this thing's not going to last a year,'" laughed Epatha, who played Van Buren for seventeen of Law & Order's record-tying twenty seasons. "He wasn't my agent very long. But who knew that it would last that long?"
"The interesting thing is, when the show was over, I was executive producing and co-directing a documentary, so I was able to sort of leave it without mourning," she continued. "When the film was done, then I realized 'Oh, I'm not doing that anymore.' And then I just started thinking about the experience of it - and it was such a great experience. I feel really lucky and I'm honored to have been able to be a part of television history."
What are the episodes that stand out for each of these talented women as they look back on their memorable roles? "I don't look back," laughed Angie. "The one that stands out, of course, is the one that we used as the pilot. That was Police Story, it was the last episode of their first season, and they saw this and they said 'Oh my God, this could make a series.' And so we started right in making it. We didn't have time for much of anything. So what stands out most is that pilot."
Marg likewise had a hard time picking favorites out of her 263 CSI episodes. "There were many. Especially early on, when the show was just trying to find its way," she told us. "Some of the cases that were based on real cases, those stay with me a lot. Then there were some that were just completely made up, that were outside the box, that were also really fun. The cast was awesome; I still am friends with all of them."
And for Epatha, her most loved installment actually predates Van Buren: it's the episode "Mushrooms," in which she guest-starred prior to taking on a regular role. "It's still my all time favorite," she said, "and I think it's because it's how I was introduced to the show. It was an episode where [Ben] Stone lost a case that he should not have lost. It was amazing to me that the hero could lose, and it made me stay with the show. It was two more years before I came on [as Van Buren], but I became a big fan of the show."
All these women and many others have helped create a wonderful history for women on television, not just within the crime drama genre, but through the entire medium. We can look back on them with gratitude and pride - and look forward to see which female characters will carve out their own places in history in the future.

What was going on here? I wondered as I searched the library shelves. The place was nearly empty. So was an entire row of books. It just happened to be the row with the books I was looking for.
You see, Ms. Laurence had assigned me and each of my classmates a research topic. My topic was "Witches." I had come to this library even though it was an hour and a half from my house, because it was the only library in the state which had a 10 book series of actual books about witches by a witch. They included spells and a history of witches.
Unfortunately, all 10 of the books were gone. This was especially strange because I had called the library in advance to have them make sure no one checked any of the books out. They had agreed and said they'd put a hold on those books until I showed up.
I searched frantically for a librarian, but no one was in sight. I suddenly realized I was alone in the library. Then I heard the shuffle of feet and wicked laugh. Total blackness seamed to swallow me. More footsteps were heard, followed by a loud crash. In a minute the lights were back on and as my eyes adjusted I saw an attractive woman in front of me. It was Miss Tyler, the librarian.
A scream escaped from her mouth. Then she took a second look. "Oh, It's only you. Sorry I screamed, you frightened me, but wait... what are you doing here? The library closed 15 minutes ago!" She paused and then continued, looking confused. "I was just locking up and doing some last minute book check-ins when the electricity went off."
I glanced at my watch. She was right. It was now 6:20 and the library had closed at 6:00. I must have lost track of time and I had missed the bus home. Now I would have to wait until the next bus came at 7:45. My parents would be terribly worried by then.
"I'll check next door to see if they lost power too and then, if it is absolutely necessary, you can call your house," Miss Tyler said. I nodded, but I was still confused about what had just happened.
Miss Tyler walked over to the phone and I began to search the library. Just then I remembered the crash. I raced over and discovered that the books I had been looking for were scattered along the aisle in which they were supposed to be. No one was in sight though except Miss Tyler. She was nodding and saying "Oh, I see. Thank you." she put the phone down and sighed. "Well the cafe next door didn't lose power, so, oh my-- the missing books!" Miss Tyler looked shocked, then shook her head and continued, "Uh, Go ahead and call your parents."
I raced to the phone and dialed my number. After explaining the situation to my mother I carefully put the phone back onto the cradle. Miss Tyler was kneeling over the pile of books. She raised her finger and said "I have to call my boss about this. These books have been missing for almost 3 weeks. The whole staff has been searching everywhere for them. In fact, they disappeared right after a power outage similar to this one."
Then I heard a sound. It was shrill and high-pitched. I walked quietly over to where it was coming from. There, standing in a small, dark corner was the a grown woman. She was tall and slender, dressed in all black, with a big hairy wart on the tip of her nose.
I had seen her somewhere before... on a TV program about the books. She looked like the author,who had disappeared 40 years ago.
"Who are you?" I managed to stammer.
"I am Vanni Wells, author and keeper of "The Witching Hour" Books.
I looked at her more closely. Yes, she was certainly the author, not the thief... or was she? Just then Miss Tyler arrived at my side. She started to speak, but stopped once she saw the dark woman.
Miss Tyler started to look a little green. "A ghost," she managed to mumble before falling lightly to the ground.
"Why does everyone think I'm dead? A person just tries to get a little space..." Vanni Wells said under her breath.
"Why are you here?" I said.
"To get what is mine," she said. "After I left home, my logs and books were donated to this library and I was intending on getting them back, but when my sister, who works here, started suspecting me of the thefts. I decided to return the books when I thought nobody would be here and then I discovered you here. So I turned off the electricity and quickly tried to return the books to their original place, but they fell off the shelf as I was running away."
She said this so casually that I figured she must not care about the discovery. She had admitted to stealing the books. A police siren roared through the night and several minutes later a police man in a navy blue uniform knocked on the door.
The next morning as I picked up the newspaper on my way home from school I read the headline: "Missing Author Steals Her Own Books" and in my other hand a report entitled "Witches" with a big, red "A" on the cover.
Congratulations, Kristin W. !

Teresa Giudice has a large amount of debt after her bankruptcy, and the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star is facing more legal problems. Wetpaint reports on April 10 that Joe and Teresa Giudice owe $13.4 million to various creditors that they cannot pay. The couple is also facing an upcoming court date to deal with their fraud charges.
The Giudice family has accumulated a great amount of debt over the years, and their lavish lifestyle is being blamed for the ongoing excessive spending. Despite having $13.4 million in debt, the couple has only been able to pay back $7,500 and does not appear to have plans to pay the rest. In addition, it seems that there is a possibility their debt may be erased by the bankruptcy judge.
TMZ claims Joe and Teresa may not have to pay back the rest of their debt because they have no equity in their belongings. Their home, cars and other items are all listed without equity, so creditors cannot be paid back. However, there is some confusion about the ability of the creditors to continue to ask for payments later, and it does not appear that a final ruling has been issued. The Giudice family may not be able to escape the $13.4 million they owe to multiple banks and others.
Joe and Teresa also owe federal and state taxes, and this debt has not been discharged. The couple may have to rely on Teresa's "Real Housewives of New Jersey" income to begin making payments, but the upcoming fraud trial has kept them both busy. The sentencing is scheduled for July 8, and there is a strong possibility Joe and Teresa could end up in jail for several years. However, their debt problems will be waiting for them once they exit prison.

GILLIG ( 12V506000 )Publish Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2012 06:00:00 EST
Vehicle Make / Model: Model Year(s): GILLIG / LOW FLOOR 2010 Manufacturer: GILLIG CORPORATION Report Receipt Date: OCT 18, 2012 NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 12V506000 N/A NHTSA Action Number: N/A Component: VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR Potential Number of Units Affected: 657 Summary: Gillig is recalling certain model year 2010 Lowfloor transit buses, manufactured April 16, 2010, through November 16, 2010, and equipped with Ricon 3-Minute Urban Transit Bus Window sets. The composition of the material used to cast the handle that opens the egress window is incorrect, resulting in a reduction in material strength. The handle(s) on the emergency egress passenger windows may break before the window latch is released. Consequence: In the event the egress window handle fails during an actual emergency situation, passengers may be trapped in the vehicle placing them at risk of injury. Remedy: Gillig will notify owners, and dealers will replace the window handles free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in November 2012. Owners may contact Gillig at 1-800-735-1500 for more information.

Edge of Spider-Verse #1
Mysterio challenges Spider-Man Noir to a battle in the pages of "Edge of Spider-Verse" #1, written by David Hine and Fabrice Sapolsky with art from Richard Isanove.

One-Hit Wonder #2
As Fabrice Sapolsky and Ariel Olivetti continue to tell a story of a child star turned hitman in "One-Hit Wonder" #2, the one thing that's still unclear is if you're supposed to like the protagonist or not.

One-Hit Wonder #1
Fabrice Sapolsky and Ariel Olivetti's "One Hit Wonder," though pretty with a great core concept, misses the mark due to major script issues.

Spider-Man Noir: Eyes without a Face #2
The art and writing don't work harmoniously and the plot is too coincidental in this 1933 story, while lacking a strong identity to push forward.

Disneyland can be expensive, but with a little work this magical land can be visited on almost any budget.
One of the largest expenses of traveling to Disneyland is usually airfare. Guests who travel during the off-peak season, when schools are in session, which happens in January, February, or October, can save hundreds of dollars. This also means that attendance in the park is at the lowest so riding a favorite attraction multiple times is more likely to happen.
If traveling within the United States, normally the cheapest time to find airfare is six weeks in advance and signing up for email updates from places like airfarewatchdog.com can help travelers figure out the best time to book a flight.
Flying during the week versus the weekend can also have an impact on the price for airfare. However for guests who live within around 600 miles from the park, it might actually be cheaper for them to drive to Disneyland and stay at one of the nearby hotels while traveling instead of buying a plane ticket.

Nottingham Forest have announced the appointment of Philippe Montanier as the club's new manager
Petrov will train with Aston Villa during pre-season – four years after being diagnosed with leukaemia.
The Football League fixtures have been released and Fulham v Newcastle is the curtain-raiser.
Arsenal are reported to have joined the long queue of clubs hoping to sign Moussa Dembele.
"We want results yesterday instead of today," says the new Villa boss as he closes in on Bournemouth captain.
Redmond looks to be on his way to Southampton. Sadio Mane off, then?
The Dutchman has signed a two-year contract with the Championship club.
Any transfer activity will be "aimed at making the squad stronger than it is at the moment", says Newcastle boss.
Our favourite memory has to be the time he pretended the ball hit him in the stomach. Ta-ra Steven.
And no, that's not a picture from his unveiling. Though that would be absolutely wonderful.
What's also key is that Benitez is Newcastle's manager and not just the coach. Quite right too.
Yes, that's right - Rafa is staying and he will be given a 'large transfer budget' in the Championship.
Randy Lerner has finally completed the sale of Aston Villa to Chinese Recon Group.
"Newcastle could rise quickly and Andros looks forward to many more seasons with them."

Restore our national identity-Nyantekyi
Dear Mr Kwesi Nyantekyi
Am very uncomfortable writing to you at this very difficult time when Ghana, Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the entire football fraternity are mourning the late former Vice President of the GFA, Jordan Anagbla. But i did not have any option I watch the European Cup. Ghana has lost a very vocal , strong and good administrator of the GFA as well as Tudu Mighty Jets
Ghanaians deserve some explanation from the GFA how the decision was made for the Blacks Stars to change their tradition yellow jersey combined with the rest of our national flag colors to the uniforms they are usinjg now. You were elected into office to serve the interest of Ghanaians and not the GFA and therefore we demand answers
Traditionally almost every team and national team are identified by the colors of their national flag turn into their jersey and that is their identity as they approach the field of play. Locally Asante Kotoko wears red, Accra Hearts of Oak will have rainbow design somewhere in whatever dominates what they are wearing.Accra Great Olympics has blue and white, Cape Coast Dwarfs green and yellow Cornerstones in the days spot black and white among countless teams. I remember in the early 1980s Hesse Odametten travelled with the Black Stars for a tournment in Seoul, South Korea, he returned with a set of jersey he donated to his team. It was an all white jersey with the rainbow running down the sides. Another time in the same period, Hearts wore an all green outfit in an FA reply Cup Finals with Real Tamale United,this jersey also had the rainbow colors all over. Kotoko will always wear dominant red color of different fabric and designs. On the African continent, you easily identify Togo, Nigeria, Cote d'Ivoire, ,Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, Cameroun,Senegal, Mali ,Zambia, South Africa, Angola,the list goes unending .Lets take a tour of the Latin America,where Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay,Ecuador among others all portray their national colors with their jerseys for VERY GOOD REASONS. In Europe the story is no different as France, England, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Denmark , Sweden all showcast and with great pride their national identity.
In the US where the basketball teams are not nationally incline, one can identify Lakers, Heat, Spurs,Knicks, Thunder, Celtics ,Mavericks,Bulls with their team colors for both home and away why not a powerful soccer nation like Ghana. What was our interest in the deal that we could not be firm like the other African countries who refused to sell or give away our national identity.
Ghana used to play with their yellow outfits at home and the all white as an away jersey until recently when the GFA in their wisdom decided that Ghana uses this awful jersey is alien to our national colors and identity.
Just before the 2006 World Cup in Germany, Ghana represented by the GFA signed a deal with Puma to provide them sports kits over a certain period. That was an excellent innovation to have a sports manufacturer sponsor the team but there was a piece of our national identity that was missing. It was not just a shame and disgrace but the national identity was completely sold for nothing during the negotiation. Am really concern about the national identity because countries like Cote d Ivoire, Cameroun, Togo were all part of the deal with Puma butmanaged to maintained their national identity. Its sad and embarassing since the UEFA Europe 12 started because without knowning the teams playing or players,any soccer fan can easily speculate that this is Denmark,Spain,Sweden ,England ,Russia , Italy just by the color of their jerseys. Can the same be said about Ghana from afar.
I believe and know for a fact that Nyantekyi's predecessors like Ohene Djan, Lawton Ackah Ayensu and Zac Bentum among others were guided by nationalism, patriotism and sense of pride for the national colors identity when they decided on the jersey. Most African countries till this day have maintain their national flag colors for their jerseys. I totally agree that the world is changing and the Ghanaian jersey could be designed for us to be abreast with modern fashion but not to CHANGE the colors and erode our identity.
The Nyantekyi led GFA has really undermined the integrity, intelligency and sense pride of our forefathers who fought with their blood to achieve the foundation on which we are standing today. Our parochial and person interest is always above that of the nation, otherwise what will be the rational behind trading the traditional national identity for such an ugly jersey . The white home jersey is missing the red,gold and green while the red away shirt is also missing the green all together. A very good friend once told me that the same knowledge ,patriotism and pride have motivated other leaders to improve the lifes and conditions of their citizenry but in the case Ghana, selfishness,greed ,public theft is the order of the day to the detriment of Mother Ghana.
I would encourage the GFA that when the time comes to renew the Puma, contract they should be guided and mindful of our national identity and the colors in our flag to enable them make a wise decision .Ghana Black Stars should be identified just like the other African countries who append their signature to a similar deal. Please Kwesi Nyantekyi restore our national identity.

DASH: 4 Simple Rules for Cutting Straight or Wavy Hair & Extensions
This entry was posted on November 29, 2010.
Maybe you want to layer your hair. Maybe you'd like to lop off some bangs. Or maybe you just want to go for or an ultra-cool boycut. Any way you look at it, you're going to need to cut your hair, and if that hair is straight or wavy, there are four essentials things you'll need to know before the snip. Lucky for you, here are those four things, all with a convenient acronym!
Damp straight or wavy hair is easier and better to cut than completely dry locks. Use a wet comb or a bit of styling product. Wetting your tresses a little bit not only helps pull out waves and keep fine strands together for cutting, but also helps eliminate frizz in the end. However, don't cut hair sopping wet, as even the straightest hair may shrink or become finer when dry; you don't want a haircut that only looks good when you've been swimming!
Angle your scissors to prevent split ends and frizzies. Just like cutting thread back in Home Ec, hair holds together better when cut at slight (less than 15 degree) angle. Work with small sections or tilt your implement horizontally, like a rocking boat, to maintain an even or blunt cut.
Super-sharp hair scissors, razor combs, clippers and other cutting tools are a must, since sharp tools create a quick, clean cut. Dull implements will require sawing and hacking to get results and will lead directly to split ends, damage, and puffy, unkempt-looking hair. Really sharp fabric scissors (back to Home Ec again!) can work in a pinch, but try to keep your tools ready for action at all times.
Hold hair to be cut with the right amount of tension to prevent strands from slipping loose and getting missed. Nothing's worse than a hit-or-miss haircut! If you are cutting extensions, this means make sure the hair has been attached to your head. Use a comb or elastic band to pull sections you intend to trim away from your face and the rest of your hair; this also helps you measure the same length accurately for every snip, avoiding a lopsided or patchy look.
Fortunately, straight and wavy hair is fairly simple to cut. It won't throw you for any loops; that's for sure! Depending on the kind of style you're going for in the end, though, you may want to ask a friend to help you with the back or with complicated layers. But that's no problem – just make sure they know these four tips, and they'll be ready to DASH off your new haircut in no time!
Take care of yourselves,

Sun Tzu summed up gift-giving best when he said, "Know your enemy." But how are you supposed to know what secrets lurk in the dark alleyways of the male psyche? Read our Man's Gift Guide to Men. Thankfully Outblush found one such male and took it back to the lab, so we can learn more about this fascinating and alien gender.
He controls the ebb and flow of the party by what room he's in. He's the one that convinces you to stay when you're saying your goodbyes. He commands the same respect entering a room as Norm from Cheers. He is the Party Animal Male, and you're lucky to know him.
When gift shopping for the Party Animal Male, it's important to remember his lifestyle. He lives in the moment, and many things about him - his presence in any one spot, his current job - are impermanent. His gift should reflect that, and that means consumables. Get him a bottle of his favorite poison, cigars (or flavored rolling paper) if he's into them, or even a gourmet treat. Avoid overly complicated or sentimental gifts... he'll just forget about them by tomorrow morning anyway.
