James Armstrong is coming to Chicago for multiple shows starting on Feb. 13 at Kingston Mines. Over the next couple of months James will be playing what looks to be a Chicago blues bar tour. He will also be performing at Buddy Guys Legends, The City Winery, Chicago's House of Blues, Nick's Beer Garden and Kingston Mines again in May. He also will be performing regular gigs in Springfield, Ill. at Casey's Pub. Other Midwest gigs include the Slippery Noodle in Indianapolis, Ind. and BB's Jazz, Blues and Soups in St. Louis, Mo.
So who's this guy James Armstrong? James isn't a household name, but he has been around for a while. He has played with Albert Collins, Big Joe Turner, Keb Mo', Coco Montoya, Tommy Castro, Shemekia Copeland, Chaka Khan, Charlie Musselwhite, Joe Louis Walker, Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix), Jan & Dean, Peter Tork (Monkees), Smokey Wilson, Ricky Lee Jones and Roy Brown.
Born in Los Angeles on April 22, 1957 (age 56), James is a west coast blues man and his style is considered contemporary blues. He's a guitarist, singer and song writer. His mother was a blues singer and his father was a jazz guitarist. He started his own band in seventh grade and by the age 17 he was touring the country.
James survived a life threatening event, when he was nearly stabbed to death in a home invasion. This coming just after he released his first album "Sleeping With a Stranger". He was about to start a tour. That event left James without the use of his left hand and arm, including permanent nerve damage. With the help of friends, fans and the blues community, Armstrong came back two years later with his second album, "Dark Night".
Instead of sitting around and feeling sorry for himself, James gained a whole new perspective for music. He turned his attention to perfecting his songwriting, vocals and slide guitar skills. This resulted in his third album "Got It Goin' On". The CD was nominated for two WC Handy blues awards. The song "Pennies and Picks" was nominated for best song of the year.
With a new record label came the critically acclaimed release of "Blues at the Border". It's the story of how things have changed since 9-11.
Now James has a new album to be released on Feb. 18, 2014 titled "Guitar Angels". The CD consists of nine originals tunes. The song "Healing Time" deals with the death of his brother Norman, who also was a guitarist. There's also the song "Grandma's Got a New Friend", which views how the baby boomer approach to aging is different from past generations. There are two covers, "Take It to the Limit" and Johnny Copeland's "Blues Ain't Nothin'". "Saturday Night Women" is the song that gets the shouts from the crowd when performed live. "Guitar Angels" reflects on the help he has received from his friends and how God had a bigger plan for him.
Some of James songs have been noticed by film makers and have made it to the big screen. His song "Bank of Love" was used in "Hear No Evil". That movie featured Martin Sheen and Marlie Matlin. "Two Sides to Every Story" is featured in "Speechless" with Michael Keaton and Geena Davis. It's also featured in "The Florentine" with Jeremy Davies and Luke Perry.
Make sure to come out and support James in one of the many opportunities that will be available to you.

The Inna Grand Bali Beach (IGBB) organized a bazaar selling a grocery package in the Pendawa Beach Inna some time ago. Aside from welcoming the holy month of Ramadan, the activity also served as one of the celebrations marking the 47th Anniversary of the IGBB falling in November.
The grocery package included rice, cooking oil, instant noodles and sugar that had been getting subsidies and packed with special price at IDR 75,000 per package. Surrounding communities were happy to welcome the event. As evidence, a total of 1,050 packages prepared had sold out before 12:00 noon. Chairperson of the IGBB Management Team, IGK Ayu Ariani, expected the activity to ease the burden of community in the midst of rising food prices after the increase in fuel prices as well as ahead of the Eid.

After re-signing key players and acquiring talented free agents, most recently the stealthy acquisition of Jared Allen, the Bears are poised to use the draft to add the final pieces to their playoff puzzle.
This year's draft, gives the Bears have the opportunity to fill a few key holes in their roster and put the finishing touches on a team that should be a playoff contender next season. With one pick in each of the first five rounds and two in the sixth round, the Bears will try to further stabilize their defense and add another offensive lineman to develop and add depth at guard.
Despite the high amount of defensive line additions, selecting Aaron Donald with the number 14 overall pick would still be a great idea if he's available. Donald defensive tackle who is about 6 '1 and weighs in at 285 pounds according to NFL Network. His strong showing at the combine in February featured a speedy 4.68 40 yard dash time, which was better than many safeties. There is a wealth game film that suggests that Donald has a very quick first step and is a motivated tackler. Donald is also a true three technique and his style compliments Jay Ratliff who is a projected starter at defensive tackle.
If Donald isn't available, the Bears front office must keep in mind that value is everything when selecting a first round pick. With that said, trading back to acquire Hasean Clinton-Dix, Calvin Pryor, or Justin Gilbert wouldn't be a bad move at all.
Chicago could attempt to add get their defensive lineman in the second round, and then spend the rest of the draft looking for defensive backs to round out their defense. Keep names like Lamarcus Joyner (Florida State), Jaylen Watkins (Florida), and Jimmie Ward (Northern Illinois) in mind when watching the Bears during the middle rounds.
Local fans should be excited to see the completion of what can easily become the deepest and most complete Bears team in recent memory. By filling many roster holes, free agency has left the Bears wide open to succeed in the draft. All we can do is hope they don't drop the ball.

Disease Proof
On Manager's Special 9.29.08
Those tomatoes and white asparagus cost $2.57.
It was $1.89 for the apples.
And only $1.46 for the onions and red potatoes.
I bought ALL that stuff on manager's special for the low-low price of $5.92! I've noticed a lot of supermarkets sell blemished or over-ripe produce at a reduced price. It's a GREAT way to score tasty fruits and vegetables on the cheap.
Don't be self-conscious. Dig in and see what YOU can find!

Alex Gurney, son of legendary driver Dan Gurney, won overall pole Thursday when he completed a fast lap of 1 minute, 38,270 over the 3.56 mile course in his No. 99 Corvette. DP on the overall pole with a fast lap of 1 minute, 38.270 seconds (130.416 mph), stating that a victory would be very "sweet" indeed.
"It would be the biggest thing in my career, I think. But yeah, for me personally, this is the biggest race we do in North America. It's the one we all want to win," he exclaimed.
Alex's father Dan captured the won the first incarnation of the Rolex 24, (then known as the Daytona Continental) in 1962. Yet he and longtime racing partner Jon Fogarty have never won the Rolex 24, despite being winning the Rolex Series twice. They will be joined this weekend by Darren Law and Memo Gidley.
''We've been thinking about it for a long time. Every year, we think we have it figured out, just hard to test for things that are going to break at hour 18 or hour 16, so we've tried to address those things over the year, but each time something new crops up, Alex stated. "It's never been speed necessarily that's been the problem. We've always had some sort of mechanical issue that has hurt us. Fingers crossed, we feel prepared and we're hoping for the best.''
Other class poles won Thursday include former NASCAR driver Colin Braun, who put the No. 54 ORECA FLM09 through a lap of 1:41.777 (125.922), in the Protype Challenge (enough to qualify 14th overall); Christopher Haase who claimed top spot in GT Daytona , after his No. 48 Audi R8's lap of 1:46.973 (119.806) for an overall finish of 34; and Marc Goossens who's No. 91 SRT Viper GTS- R completed a lapin 1:44.506 (122.634) to win the pole in the GT LeMans class. His car will start 25th overall.
The 2014 Rolex 24 marks the first event for the TUDOR Championship season, borne from the merger of former rivals the American Le Mans Series and the GRAND-AM Rolex Series.

Reviews for Spicy Chicken Breasts with Pepper Peach Relish
"Loved it. We used a little more chicken than it called for, so maybe the flavors were more diluted. But it turned out wonderfully. We served it on a bed of brown rice with the peach salsa on top."
"The flavors did not blend well together at all. I think there was too much nutmeg/cinnamon mix. The relish could have used fresh jalapeno or something. Will not be making again."
"I was excited to try this recipe after reading all the great reviews. I made it exactly as the recipe stated, and I didn't care for it at all. I don't think the flavors blended well. My husband said it tasted like a Christmas cookie. I will not be making this again."
"Very good, my family loves this!"
"I loved this recipe!"

Which county in Utah has the least poverty?
An interactive map created by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation displays, by county, six key indicators used to evaluate the overall health of the nation.
Among the six indicators are the average life expectancy and the prevalence of poverty of each county.
According to the study's authors, "dietary risks" were the leading cause of drops and disparities for life expectancy in the U.S. However, as the Washington Post suggested in their analysis of an earlier version of the study last March, life expectancy rate disparity between counties also seems to be tied to income inequality.
Here we've ranked each county in Utah according to poverty rate, including along with it each county's average life expectancy.
- Oldest first
- Newest first
- Most recommended
So the counties with the highest poverty rates are also those expected to live off of tourism.

Yes, or even agriculture, which speaks volumes about developing resources and
providing good jobs, since the agrarian economy is long gone in terms of a
viable future of prosperity. The family farm just can't make it any more.
And that's not necessarily something to celebrate...it's just what it
I picked Summit County (#2) and live in Davis County (#3) so I guess I must enjoy life and have things pretty good. I admit that's true and I'm grateful for it. I wish everyone the best when it comes to taking care of themselves and being prosperous in life.

Racing ahead of any other province in economic growth, Alberta is finding itself at the forefront of new recruitment and retention tactics and companies are making good on some lofty promises to employees.
This year's annual ranking of the nation's best employers by Mediacorp Canada Inc. shows several Calgary companies in the top 100, many of which are investing dollars in their communities and taking the war for talent to a higher plateau.
"This company has been through quite a period of mergers and acquisitions, so finding ways to achieve employee stability and security was absolutely vital," says Nicole Davis, a senior business partner with Calgary-based Bayer CropScience (Canada) Inc.
For the past six years, her company has made two large acquisitions and a smaller addition. During that time, Alberta's economy was thrust into high gear and a lack of qualified employees began to emerge.
Wage increases lead the country. Home prices were skyrocketing. Thousands of people have pushed Calgary's population to more than a million people and companies face increasing costs on almost every front.
Yet, the approach Bayer CropScience takes allows the company to retain a highly specialized workforce, says Davis.
"It just makes people very vocal about their own careers and their own futures," says Davis. Professional development is seen as an essential offering from any employer of choice.
Bayer CropScience has offices scattered around Canada, and has had to deal with local anomalies in compensation trends while maintaining a national focus.
"We have a different culture in every pocket of the country that way," Davis says. Bayer CropScience is a biotechnology firm that manufacturers crop science products for a range of uses in agriculture and environmental health industries.
The company also spends a lot of time and money on corporate social responsibility programs. Local employee-run volunteer groups oversee where the money goes and how employees get involved. The company contributes $250 each for any donation.
Personal days are "flexible" and arranged between each manager and employee informally. The vacation policy adds two more "floater" days, and a compassionate-care program for workers dealing with elderly relatives and family care for any length of time.
Davis says she expects to expand and revise the vacation policy again in a few months, with it now starting at three weeks.
There are also perks in life-long learning opportunities. Bayer CropScience has a customized "mini-MBA" program with the University of Calgary's Haskayne School of Business. "Provided to them at no cost," says Davis.
The point of all this is that when it comes time to hire an employee -- at any level or salary -- it's a lot easier to find them in this booming economy when you have some respect and reputation among potential candidates.
"It's an incredibly important attraction tool for us," says Derrick Rozdeba, a communications manager for Bayer CropScience. The last time he had to hire someone for the firm, he had a pool of 70 qualified candidates lining up, even in this market.
Many of them stated in their cover letters that they noticed the company made the top 100 list, which has become a well-published annual ranking in recent years. It has also become a powerful draw for other companies looking for new grads.
Michael Lipsett left post-secondary school looking for a unique place to work. He also wanted somewhere he fit in. The Alberta College of Art & Design graduate landed a job at Veer Inc., a Calgary-based design and publishing firm.
"What attracted me to (Veer) when I first walked in to hand in my resume was the whole creative atmosphere and the openness of the entire office," says Lipsett, who joined Veer three weeks ago. "There was an instant sense of community."
Veer made the list of top 100 employers for the first time this year. The company grew its workforce by 60 per cent in the last two years, to a total of about 100.
"The challenge right now, because we're growing so quickly, is making sure that we're recruiting the quality of people that we want to maintain," says Dana Boyko, human-resources manager for Veer. "The physical growth challenge is the size of our space," she says, "so we have to be a little more creative with our space."
Other Calgary companies to make the top 100 are AltaGas Ltd., Enbridge Inc., Rogers Insurance Ltd., Shell Canada Ltd., Suncor Energy Inc. and Worley-Parsons Komex.

My antivirus keeps notifying me of a trojan. Svchost.exe keeps creating some 'drivers' (.sys files in the drivers directory under system32 of my Windows XP installation) each of which is marked as Bubnix.AB trojan.
The antivirus fails to remove many of the files as they are immediately used by svchost (I presume). How do I find out which service is the culprit? Why can't the antivirus effectively rid me of this plague?
Also, how many svchost processes is it normal to have running at any one time?

Staten Island Railway Train Derails
UPDATED | A Staten Island Railway train carrying nearly 90 passengers derailed early Thursday afternoon as it was entering the St. George station at the northern tip of the borough.
No injuries were reported in the 1:48 p.m. derailment, and the passengers were evacuated to the railway station via the tracks, a Metropolitan Transportation Authority spokeswoman said.
Service on the Staten Island line was suspended between the St. George and Jefferson Avenue stations for some of Thursday afternoon.
The MTA said local service would resume from the St. George station for the evening rush hour, running approximately every 20 minutes.
After 7 p.m., service would again be suspended – between the St. George and Tompkinsville stations – so crews can put the train back on the rails, the authority said. Shuttle buses will be provided.
It was not immediately clear what led to the derailment. The MTA spokeswoman said the last of four cars in the train went off the rails and eight of the passengers were in that car.
The Fire Department of New York assisted with evacuating the passengers, a spokesman said.
The last time a Staten Island Railway train derailed was in the early morning of May 29. In that incident, a train with no passengers on board was pulling into the Tottenville terminus for service when it hit the station's rail bumper. The MTA said the train's crew members suffered minor injuries.
Earlier that month, the New York City subway system saw its worst derailment in years. An F train carrying about 1,000 passengers jumped its tracks in Woodside, Queens, injuring 19 passengers.

One of the best reasons to attend Sundance on opening weekend and why most of the celebrities do, is for the fabulous gifting suites. The main attraction is clearly still film, not to mention the parties, musical performances and skiing overlooking snow capped mountains, filled with evergreens and crisp, clean air. What makes Park City the perfect destination and a pure film festival, is that it is rather difficult and expensive to get to.
My first stop was the TR Gifting Suites. Little did I know that old friend from New York, Michael Heller was the brainchild behind his lounge. For the Sixth consecutive year, Talent Resources came to Park City to host their largest activation ever, this time at the Blue Iguana Lounge, right across from the infamous Egyptian Theater. Once inside, guests could experience a fully-equipped salon and barbershop by Dove. Whether you wanted a blowout, men's trim, or just a wash, stylists were at your beck and call.
Sean Jean supplied cozy snow jackets and sweaters to keep VIP's comfortable, along with sunglasses. In addition, CAT Footwear outfitted top influencers with high-quality and stylish boots, now sold in 150 countries worldwide. Another fun coincidence, was bumping into good friend Karen Davis-Brennan who reps the brand, Eppa Organic Sangria who partnered with healthy and delicious LUVO food (Jennifer Garner and Derek Jeter are Ambassadors), that paired nicely together. Diddy's network, Revolt TV, was on site capturing all the action, including a special performance by Skylar Grey.
Some of the best-kept secrets are underground and it was definitely worth making an appointment with Koolaburra. The Santa Barbara sheepskin boot company handed out top winter styles to some of the most talented stars of the festival. Devoted Koolaburra "Kult" member, Selena Gomez grabbed a new pair of Haley Ankle II boots in Tawny Port just before ducking out of the building through a back entrance to avoid mobs of fans waiting out front.
Katie Couric made a beeline for Koolaburra's cozy corner, selecting the Sasha II boots before her Huffington Post interview. Keeping with her tomboy chic look of jeans, sweater, and short hair, Shailene Woodley completed her outfit with a new pair of comfy Snowjogs in Monk Brown. Stunning DJ duo Nervo were stoked to have a new pair of plush Koolaburra boots to wear after their two hour set. On the way out, I picked up a Sunrider "Survival Kit" which included an abundance of supplements, vitamins, teas, oils, sunscreen and lotions that definitely helped me revive post-festival.
Then it was off to "Its So Miami" that had a killer people-watching scene, with a Mojito Bar by Patron and yummy hot coffee beverages provided by Tim Horton's. Global jeweler Satya was in the suite, gifting the most gorgeous bracelets and cuffs. Her company has donated over $1 million to date, benefiting children's organizations all over the world. Adjacent was the "Eddie Bauer Adventure" outfitting celebrities in serious gear, complete with a rock climbing wall inside.
Eco Hideaway, was right in middle of everything on Main Street, complete with a 3-day hospitality lounge, live music stage and wrap party for celebrities. Beneficial for the brands participating, Debbie Durkin held a consumer Retail Pop-Up, in which participating merchants could sell their products, following the 3-days of gifting.
Brands participating included, Marisa Kenson Collection—Youngevity MK Collaborative, SmartScarf by FurFrenzy; in from Dallas, Texas - Deborah Gaspar Jewelry; OC Hair & Makeup; The Spa at Stein Eriksen Lodge; "glamping" vacations by Under Canvas; Minky Couture designer blankets, which my dog Tess adores. A daily hot and cold organic buffet from Whole Foods Market Park City - totally smart, along with a Tito's Handmade Vodka Gluten-Free Bloody Mary bar that Elijah Wood really enjoyed.
Celebrities and filmmakers that attended included Elisabeth Moss, Krysten Ritter, Jason Schwartzman, Elle Fanning, Gilles Marini, Richard Schiff, Maitland Ward, Patricia Arquette, Lane Garrison, Jason Ritter, Tara Holt, Jeff Schroeder and more. Over 30 bands performed during the 3 days.
Yet another year, Cloud 21 organized a fabulous gifting suite and lounge that served as a location for various interviews and social happenings – the Social Film Loft, where stars such as Michael C. Hall (Dexter), Bill Hader, Joe Manganiello, Leah Thompson and Lindsay Lohan were interviewed and made appearances.
Brands that participated included: House of Minerva, Skullcandy, Uber, Edith's Inc., Mine Label, Cape Cod Leather, Poket Roket Apparel - Australia, Belle Journee Handmade Soaps, Udderly Smooth Skincare, Butchers Bunches Preservatives, Native Shoes, Stone + Cloth Backpacks, Nooka, Electric Picks Jewelry, Bling20, People Water, Honest Tea and Aushentoshen Single Malt.
Films that held interviews there included the cast from "Cooties": Elijah Wood, Rainn Wilson and Jack McBrayer. Live footage from KTLA: http://ktla.com/2014/01/21/sam-talks-cooties-film-with-cast/. Kidnapped for Christ: Tom DeSanto, Lance Bass and Michael Manning. As well as "Red vs. Dead": Martin Starr, Ingrid Hass and Jocelyn DeBoer. Live footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QLUl2ex8FE
Gotham Chandna, who partnered with publicist Hilda Somarriba to run the Social Film Loft, is one of the best celebrity wranglers and social media guys' out there.
Power Hollywood publicist and former CAA agent, Kari Feinstein also held a "Style Lounge" that included hats and sweaters from AMI Clubwear, Palace Resorts, Khombu boots, Compassion bracelets, BlingSting, DJI among other elite brands. Celebrities who visited included Zach Braff, Kendra Wilkinson, Emile Hirsch, Cristina Hendricks and other A-listers.
As you can see it is not always luxury products that find their way into the hands of celebrities, but also everyday brands that are practical and can be worn right on the spot the entire 10-days of the festival, weather appropriate. Happy 30th Sundance Robert Redford – you should have been nominated for the Academy – until next year.

STARKVILLE, Miss. - Mississippi State head football coach Dan Mullen holds his weekly press conference Monday afternoons in the Leo Seal Jr. Football Complex.

Dan Mullen Press Conference Transcript - 9/16/13
(Courtesy of David Murray)
Opening Statement "It will be a great challenge for us this week with Troy. Last year obviously it was a very, very exciting game against them, coming right down to the wire. And they have a lot of those guys back. Their quarterback is special, college football's active career passing leader. He's a very explosive player.
"They've always been able to put up points and they put up points in a hurry. It will cause a great challenge to us that way. They play really hard on defense. The fact that we played them last year, they're going to have confidence. The teams are going to know each other, and they're going to have confidence they're going to be able to play with us.
"Our guys know the type of challenge that we're going to be in for in a game of this magnitude. So it should be fun, hopefully get another sellout crowd, create home-field advantage for us. I know last year we went there and they did a great job, had the home-field advantage, handed out all those different noisemaker sticks and all that stuff they had out in the stadium and created a great atmosphere. And I'm sure our fans are hopefully going to give us that homefield advantage and make it difficult on them this week."
With a young team is it easier to bounce back from a loss like you had, or an older team? "I'm not sure. In every situation it's going to be different, with just the personalities of the guys. Any time you have a tough loss you're looking at a play. In my reality it's never as good and it's never really as bad.
"If we'd made one play in that game I guess we have all the answers, you know? Or we are jumping up and down and patting ourselves on the back; then you go back and break down the film, evaluate what you did well, what you did wrong, what you have to improve.
"The joy doesn't last real long when you're trying to fix all the problems. When you lose, you have no answers and everything seems terrible. Then you watch the film the next day and it's the same thing, what do we have to fix, what do we have to correct?
"That one play obviously emotionally makes you feel different, but the reality in our daily work and improving the team and become the best team we can be, it's not as great a swing. But obviously, emotionally for the team we're going to see how they come out and react at practice today with our guys.
"We've got to get back to work. Hopefully they come out with a little chip on their shoulders. To be successful you have to react, you have to respond to that type of loss, with the desire, I mean that desperate desire to get back out there on the field and get back to work and work harder at things. You know, to kind of put that behind you and get going, that's the type of attitude we need to have today at practice."
Can you talk about the progression of Joe Morrow? "He's coming along nicely. He's still got some work to do. But I've seen big strides from him from week one to week two and then week two to week three. But he still has a long way to go to become a go-to wide receiver for us.
The great thing is is you're seeing those improvements. Not just at practice but you're seeing those improvements on game day. For a lot of guys it's much easier to make improvements at practice when you're in a much more controlled environment. But you're seeing him transition that into games as well, which is a positive step."
When Dak Prescott is running do you have to make sure the backs get touches? "That's the worst thing, you know? We might have to go high-tempo so we run more plays because everybody wants the ball. There are only so many plays. It is something you look at.
A lot of those plays are option plays, and a lot of times the defense is dictating who is getting the ball. I can only look at how they dictated, and whether we made the right reads in the run game. I think most of the time we did. We did miss one or two but I think we've made most of the right reads in the run game.
"I don't know if their plan was thinking hey, if Tyler Russell is playing let's make sure he's the one carrying the ball in their defense of the option, or maybe to get a hit on him or knock him back out of the game. It's always something that you want to look at, that we want to make sure the playmakers touch the ball.
"I think you've seen Jameon Lewis has gotten the ball a bunch and been able to do some things with it. (Brandon) Holloway is a dynamic open field player. (LaDarius) Perkins is the guy probably we need to get the ball to a little bit more. But he didn't practice a whole lot last week coming back from that injury. On the report he's full-go for today. So you're going to feel a lot more comfortable having him part of the gameplan."
Auburn threw for over 300 passing yards, how much of that was allowing them to pass as a great running team or how much was defense? "Well, I think there's a little bit of variety in there with different things. I think we did a great job. One of our goals going into the game was not let them run the ball, and we accomplished that goal. Unfortunately there's a flip side to that.
"We had around 18 missed tackles which netted about 130 yards of offense for them. And most of that was in the passing game. You know, on quick screens. And even the passing game, give them credit they made some nice throws and some nice down-the-field plays on us.
"I know about 80 yards came when our corner fell down on third-down-and-12, and just went the wrong way in the coverage and fell down on top of it. If you take that 85 yards out of their passing game and the 120 missed tackles out of their passing, it's a different story.
"The perception is we didn't play great defense. At times I thought we played very, very good defense. I think a lot of those yards came off those quick screens and us missing some tackles. Within our plan that was the most disappointing thing. I think we executed to stop the run, we created some three-and-outs, got off the field on defense. I never thought tempo became a huge factor at any point during the game. But our open field tackling when they had some great athletes, we knew they're going to spread you out all over the place and try to create one-on-one in the open field. I thought that's where we lacked defensively this week."

Last year in Canada, 13.3 million people contributed 2.1 billion hours of volunteer time—that's the equivalent of 1.1 million full-time jobs! National Volunteer Week, in its 72nd year, is celebrated from April 6-12, 2014. We encourage you to take the time to thank the volunteers who do so much in our communities.
As the Halton Children's Aid Society celebrates its 100th Anniversary (1914 to 2014), we want to take the time to thank the many volunteers who have played an essential role in our work over the past 100 years. "Our volunteers truly make a real difference in the lives of the children, youth and families we work with," notes Nancy MacGillivray, executive director.
Across the province, over 4,000 people give of their time to volunteer with their local children's aid society in various roles. Last year in Halton, our volunteers contributed over 13,000 hours of their time and logged more than 400,000 km for our children, youth and families.
We know our volunteers make an impact on the people they work with, but it is definitely a two-way street. One volunteer notes, "My experience volunteering at Halton has always been positive. Staff are very welcoming and appreciative of volunteers."
During National Volunteer Week, we thank our volunteers, both past and present, for their wonderful contributions to the work of our Society. We are proud to recognize them this week and in the future.

Cowgirls Ranked #15 in Central Region: Wyoming begins the spring season ranked #15 in the Central Region according to the latest ITA rankings. The Cowgirls are tied with Missouri and Colorado State at the #15 spot. There are a total of 32 teams in the Central Region.
Wyoming to Host Two More Duals: The 2001 spring season will see the Cowgirls host two more home duals. On Feb. 22 Wyoming will host Bowling Green in Cheyenne at the Frontier Tennis Club before hosting their only spring dual in Laramie on March 4 against Montana State. The Cowgirls won their only home match of the fall season when they beat Northern Colorado 9-0 in Laramie. Wyoming will also face all seven Mountain West Conference foes in the spring season. The Mountain West Championships will take place April 26-28 in Ft. Collins.
Cowgirls Fall to Denver 5-2: The University of Wyoming lost to the University of Denver Saturday in Cheyenne 5-2. The match was held at the Frontier Tennis Club and was the first of the spring for Wyoming. The Cowgirls fell behind early as Denver won all three doubles matches, giving the Pioneers an early 1-0 team score lead. A team must win two-of-three doubles matches to earn one team point. Wyoming won two singles matches. In the No. 4 singles match Cowgirl freshman Toni Terhaar defeated Rossi Thomas 6-4, 1-6, 10-7 in a hard-fought match. UW's other win came in the No. 5 match, where senior Angela Dossetor defeated Beth Messaros 7-5, 7-6. The dual against Denver marked the first match of the spring season for the Cowgirl program.

Wildt's Word: The following are quotes from University of Wyoming head
women's tennis coach Pam Wildt after the Cowgirls' 5-2 dual loss to

had some big, aggressive girls and they were match-tough. We've only
had about a week of practice since the break, and it was apparent. But
this is our starting point and we're only going to improve from here."

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), a rising star as a potential presidential candidate in the 2016 race, has confirmed that his legal team is working to officially renounce his Canadian citizenship.
In a Saturday interview with the Dallas Morning News, Cruz said he expects to finalize the legal procedure next year. "I have retained counsel that is preparing the paperwork to renounce the citizenship," he informed.
Cruz, who was elected to the Senate for his first term last fall, has fueled rumors that he will run for president in 2016 by making appearances in early primary states and by courting major GOP donors.
His impressive resume and skill set make him a high profile potential candidate, on whom many Hispanic politicians have hopes to gain more space in the decision-making atmosphere of Washington. The freshman senator obtained degrees from Princeton and Harvard Law; is the first Hispanic solicitor general of Texas -youngest solicitor general in the history of the United States – and is a former national debate champion.
However, not everybody within the Hipsanic community, see Cruz as an ally. Specially those advocating for an immigration overhaul. The young Texan has been a very vocal opponent of the immigration reform bill passed in the Senate, and in a recent interview with Houston-based radio host Michael Berry, admitted that blocking immigration reform in 2014 is all about helping his party.
In the interview, Cruz said he does not want to see Republicans take up immigration reform in the House next year, because in doing so, they would lose the "incredible opportunity to retake the Senate in 2014."
As a good politician, in the Morning News interview, Cruz emphasized that his decision to renounce his Canadian citizenship has nothing to do with his political future.
"My political perspective is focused on representing the state of Texas," he added.

In the first article in this series, we learned that there are eight different fur colors in domestic cats. Recall that the eight colors are: black and its dilute version blue (which we see as grey), chocolate and its dilute lilac, cinnamon and its dilute fawn, and red (seen as orange) and its dilute cream. These colors can be modified based on the genes for features such as tabby patterns, white fur, points, and shading.
Now let's take a look at the genetics behind the eight colors, to get a better understanding of how fur color in cats is determined, and why some colors are more common than others.
The black gene
The first gene controls the production of the black-colored pigment eumelanin. Known as the B gene or the B locus, this gene comes in three flavors referred to as alleles. You may remember from grade school genetics that each parent contributes one allele, and different allele pairs produce different physical traits or characteristics. The traditional pea plant examples illustrated the scenario for a gene with two alleles, but genes can have three or more alleles.
The B allele produces black fur, the b allele creates chocolate fur, and the b' allele results in cinnamon fur. The B allele is dominant, meaning that if a kitten receives a B allele from either parent, it has a base color of black. (This color can still be modified by other genes, but all cats start with either black, chocolate or cinnamon.)
The b' allele is recessive, so any kitten who receives copies of this allele from both parents is genetically coded for cinnamon as its base color. No other combination of the B, b' and b alleles gives rise to cinnamon.
The b allele is intermediate to the other two. It is dominant to the b' allele, but recessive to the B allele. This is where the black gene differs from the classroom examples. Instead of only four possible combinations of two different alleles, we have nine ways the three alleles can combine in pairs:
BB – Black
Bb – Black (B is dominant)
Bb' – Black (B is dominant)
bB – Black (B is dominant)
bb – Chocolate
bb' – Chocolate (b is dominant over b')
b'B – Black (B is dominant)
b'b – Chocolate (b is dominant over b')
b'b' – Cinnamon
While black cats are well-known and commonly seen as pets and in shelters, chocolate and cinnamon cats are more rare. Cat shows present an excellent opportunity to view cats of many colors and breeds.
In part 2 of this article we will learn about the genetics of red/orange fur, and how this gene interacts with the gene for black-based colors.

Rudolph Marcus begins the interview with a discussion of his family background and early education. Though he spent some of his early years in Detroit, Michigan, he primarily grew up in a Jewish neighborhood in Montreal, Canada. Marcus was encouraged to continue his education by his parents and his uncles. He enrolled in the twelfth grade, the equivalent of the first year of college, to save money for the university. Marcus then attended McGill University, majoring in chemistry. He graduated with a B.Sc. in 1943. Due to the war, he was able to take his fourth year in the course of a summer. Marcus went directly to graduate school, also at McGill, and studied physical chemistry with Carl Winkler. His research, RDX, was determined by war needs, and he received his Ph.D. in 1946. He spent an additional two and a half years on a National Research Council of Canada post-doc with Edward W. R. Steacie. In 1949, Marcus moved to the University of North Carolina, accepting a position with Oscar Rice, who had received an Office of Naval Research contract. It was there that Marcus began to focus on theory, particularly unimolecular and transition state theory. The result of this work was the development of the RRKM theory. In 1951, Marcus moved again, this time to Brooklyn Polytechnic University, where he became an assistant professor in the chemistry department. Marcus discusses his colleagues, including Herman Mark, Herbert Morawetz, and Charles Overberger, as well as the atmosphere of the institution. He became interested in electrostatics and polyelectrolytes. He also began some polymer research, and pursued work on electron transfer. In 1964, Marcus left Brooklyn Polytechnic for the University of Illinois. During his time there, he spent a few semesters at Oxford University as a visiting professor. In 1978, Marcus accepted a position at Caltech, where he began collaborating with Ahmed Zewail. His desire to pursue his research led him to decline administrative work. At Caltech, Marcus continued his electron transfer research. He concludes the interview with a discussion of his family, the challenges of research, and thoughts on his electron transfer work.

I have a entertainment dilemma
I have a huge dilemma:
I'm playing EaW on the computer. Episode IV is on the TV in the same room. I have to wear head phones so I can turn up the volume without bothering my truely wonderful girlfriend in the next room. I can only plug the head phones into one thing at a time.
So, do I listen to the game, the movie, or give her boxes to pack her things and listen to both?
Can anyone think of a better idea? (keep it clean guys...) I just don't know what to do. :(
Girlfriend > Star Wars
I would tend to agree...
Intreasting problem..... ditch the star wars and go with what matters :D
star wars> girlfriend hey im only 13 lol
lolz... there is a time and place for everything. My gf was finishing a painting she has been working on for a couple of months all day today, so I didnt get much of a word in.....the peace was refreshing !
Make sure that in the midst of playing EaW etc, you do something nice like give her her a back/neckrub, take her out for dinner or even just go for a nice walk. Crappy little things like that go a *long* way and will buy you more guilt free gametime :p
I was just kidding about the boxes, but was curious about whether people would choose the game audio, or the audio of something on TV or radio in the same room while playing a game. Similarly, do you mute the game audio and play MP3's while gaming?
The girlfiend comment was just to add context to the question. I should have been more clear. Sorry.
To clarify that I'm not a TOTAL jerk. We have 'together time' and 'apart time'. She rehearses singing for 2 to 4 hours a day, hence the need for head phones, hehehe (she's actually very good, but scales will drive you mad. Even the dog leaves the room.) I actually have more 'guilt-free game time' than I know what to do with. :)
Solution to the problem, give her the headphones so she can listen to her junk.
Or everynight, repeat into her ear while she's asleep "Star Wars is awesome. Star Wars is awesome. Star Wars is awesome...". And after about a week, she'll be pretty much brainwashed.

Two of the best in the country at what they do will face off this weekend at Howe Field.
That's true of the two teams that will face off, when No. 1 Oregon hosts No. 3 Arizona State for a three-game series beginning Friday (5 p.m. PT, Pac-12 Networks). And it figures to be true the first time the Ducks come to the plate Friday evening, when the Pac-12's best hitter, UO third baseman Courtney Ceo, faces ASU's Dallas Escobedo, who is No. 2 nationally in strikeouts.
Ceo, a senior from Meadow Vista, Calif., entered this week hitting .480, which ranked fourth nationally. With four hits in Tuesday's doubleheader sweep of Utah Valley, Ceo is now up to .487 entering the showdown with the Sun Devils.
One of the Ducks' top hitters each of the last three seasons, the speedy Ceo has taken her game to a new level this season. A .268 hitter in Pac-12 play though she hit .410 overall as a junior, Ceo is hitting .518 in conference games this spring.
Ceo came into this season with 67 strikeouts and 31 walks in her career, but through 51 games as a senior she has 18 walks with 13 strikeouts. Over her last 11 games, Ceo has a ridiculous 13 walks and zero strikeouts.
"When you see those types of numbers, you know you're seeing the ball well," UO hitting coach James Kolaitis said.
Kolaitis, in his first season on the UO staff, had a lot to work with when taking over as Ceo's hitting coach this season. She's among the fastest players in the country, and worked with former UO assistant Blake Miller to become a dangerous bunter.
Under the tutelage of Kolaitis and UO head coach Mike White, Ceo is even more formidable as a senior. She's worked to hit to all fields, keeping the defense on its toes and not able to anticipate the bunt. She's got a better handle on opposing pitchers, and of her own swing, resulting in that improved strikeout-to-walk ratio.
Leading off for one of the country's best offenses, Ceo said ironically that she feels free of pressure to get on base, because of the talent behind her in the order. That allows her to be even more selective at the plate, where she's hitting more than 30 points better than anyone else in the Pac-12.
"When it's a strike, hammer the zone, and when it's a ball, take the walk and get on base," Ceo said in outlining her approach.
Ceo's ability to reach via the bunt is uncanny, seeing as how seemingly predictable it has become. But through hard work, she's made the play almost indefensible.
Working with Kolaitis, Ceo reduced her tendency to be a pull hitter when she does take a full swing. In the past, when Ceo bunted primarily to third base, infielders could creep in, unafraid that she might hit it hard the other way.
"When a third baseman comes in expecting a bunt and she laces one hard foul, the third baseman starts thinking, 'I don't want to get too close,'" Kolaitis said.
Ceo has also become more inclined to drag bunts down the first-base line, a skill she began honing under Miller. Opponents tend to put their best, most athletic infielders at third, so attacking the other way makes sense. But it can be particularly tough for left-handed hitters, who see a heavy diet of pitches on the outer half of the plate.
And yet, seemingly at will, Ceo can deaden the ball with her bat, just a few feet up the first-base line. While it sits in the infield spinning in place, the pitcher and catcher converging, Ceo is flying up the line, easily safe.
"It clicked, and it worked for me," Ceo said. "Understanding what you need to do to get your hands in the right position to get the ball down the first-base line is something I definitely had to work at, and continuously work at, because it's not always there."
Ceo's next chance to test those skills is this weekend. The Ducks are playing their final regular-season series at Howe Field, before wrapping up the following weekend at Arizona.
The NCAA regional round begins May 15, but for Oregon, a matchup with the No. 3 Sun Devils and the powerful arm of Escobedo should have a postseason feel.
"I think that's key," White said. "I don't think you want to go in (to the postseason) seeing off-speed stuff. Seeing good velocity and good movement will be good for us."
Opposing hitters are batting .167 off Escobedo this season, third in the Pac-12 and just behind Oregon's own Cheridan Hawkins. When Ceo and her .487 average step to the plate, something will have to give, and the Ducks are hopeful it won't be their speedy senior leadoff hitter.

You may have noticed that we're hardly perpetual rays of sunshine around here, but even so, we seem to spend a lot of our time enthusing about one gewgaw or another. Doubtblush exists to make it clear that we do not, in fact, like everything.
We didn't even think it was possible, but someone finally did it: they created a unicorn product that no one here wants. It's not that we're opposed to the idea of a unicorn mask, but the facial expression mixed with the realism makes this Magical Unicorn Mask ($38) more suited for the bottom of some fairy tale mobster's bed. Save this one for your student film.

Californians Explode in Opposition to UC Logo Change, Director Caves
December 24, 2012
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Just in time for M-A's outgoing senior class of 2013, the Universities of California announced their logo change from the classic UC seal to a more contemporary blue symbol with a yellow "C."
Various students and alumni expressed disappointment of the new icon as a petition traveled throughout California in a desperate outcry for its rejection. Several social media websites have provided platforms for the opposition to grow including Facebook, Twitter, and a petition website: Change.org.
Change.org previously encouraged signatures on a petition stating that the new logo "no longer resonates with the University's values or prestige." The document closed at 54,383 supporters and was looking for about 21,000 more before James Simon (UC Director of Marketing and Communications) agreed to "suspend use of the new monogram."
The petition, created by Reaz Rahman earlier this week, sparked widespread response also throughout Twitter and Facebook. Among many other Facebook groups denouncing the new emblem is "Stop the UC Logo Change" with about 7,000 supporters to date.
The previous seal was an old school shield displaying a book and the motto "Let There Be Light," described by petitioners as "classic," "elegant," and even "glorious." Many feel that the new logo is cheap looking. Opponents described it as a Swedish flag "being flushed down a toilet,"or a tacky healthcare emblem.
Much to the public's relief, its voice was definitely heard. UCOP Director of Marketing and Communications, James Simon, responded promptly to the petition, respectfully explaining the attempt "to create a mark that is iconic, flexible, and solid enough that it works to represent the UC system as a whole." In the same letter to Change.org, Simon expressed his gratitude "to see so many people who care passionately about the University of California," but continued to press for a more innovative and changeable look.
"Our challenge is to represent not only the work done on our campuses but also in UC medical centers, agriculture and natural resources efforts, research centers, K-12 preparation and outreach efforts, and even things such as overseeing the state's 4H program or the University of California Press," Simon reports. A simpler logo is beneficial in smaller print.
However, On December 14th, the marketing coordinator officially withdrew his efforts, closing the Change.org petition at 54,000+ signatures, and renewing the old, more classic UC logo.

Kenya Moore, the self-proclaimed wild card of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta", underwent sugery to remove fibroid tumors. The former Miss USA has hopes of having a baby this year.
Kenya Moore wants to have a baby and TMZ reported on Jan. 4 that Moore, 42, underwent surgery to remove fibroid tumors from her uterous in order to improve her chances of conceiving. Moore, who is single, has previously voiced her desire to have a baby in 2014. TMZ reported that Moore plans to begin in-vitro fertilization treatments as soon as her doctor gives her medical clearance.
Kenya Moore joined the cast of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" last season and right from the start brought controversy to the show. Accusations that she was faking a relationship with her boyfriend to rumors that she had made sexual advances toward co-star Phaedra Parks husband Apollo Nida plagued the reality star.
On this season of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" Moore has had to contend with an eviction from her home and a heated battle with co-star Phaedra Parks. Fans of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" can tune in at 8 p.m. ET Sunday nights.

Russian Federation
Russia is a vast country comprising a large part of eastern Europe and the whole of northern Asia. The traditional geographical division between Europe and Asia is the Ural Mountains, which split the country from north to south in about longitude 60°E. The whole of northern Russia is within the Arctic Circle.
In this large country climate ranges from cold Arctic conditions to hot desert and subtropical lands where tea and rice are grown. The dominant feature of Russian weather and climate is the extreme cold of winter, which prevails in all but a small part of the south of the country.
This harsh Russian winter has helped to defeat invaders such as Napoleon and Hitler, and it affects most aspects of Russian life even today. Adaptation to the Russian winter is a necessary but difficult process.
Anyone intending to visit the country between late October and April should study the temperatures in the accompanying tables and take appropriate clothing! Only Antarctica, Greenland, Alaska, and Northern Canada experience comparable cold, frost, and snow as are found in winter over most of Russia.
Surprisingly, over much of the country temperatures in summer are quite warm, even during the short summers in northern and eastern Siberia. There is a rapid rise of temperature in spring, the season of the thaw (rasputitsa), and an equally rapid fall of temperature in the autumn.
In effect, over much of the country there are only two seasons, winter and summer. This is a characteristic feature of what climatologists call a continental climate, and some of the best examples of this can be found in Russia.
There are two principal reasons for the cold of the Russian winter: the great size of the land mass of Europe and Asia, which means that the country is isolated from the moderating influence of warm ocean waters; and the high latitude of much of the country with a northern coastline on the Arctic Ocean, which remains frozen for most of the year.
The severity of the Russian winter is significant for transport. Except in the extreme south of the country the rivers are frozen for prolonged periods in winter and inland water transport comes to a halt. Road transport is also difficult and therefore the railways and air services are particularly important.
The period when rivers are completely frozen varies from 70 days a year in the west of the country to as much as 250 days in northern Siberia. It is a good general rule that the severity and length of winter increase eastwards.
The only harbours that are normally ice free throughout the year are those on the Black Sea coast and around Murmansk and Archangel, where the influence of the Gulf Stream from the Atlantic raises sea temperatures. A shipping route from the Atlantic to the Pacific along the Arctic coast is kept open for brief periods in summer with the aid of powerful ice-breakers.
So intense is the cold in winter that northern and eastern Siberia experience a phenomenon called permafrost. Here the subsoil remains frozen al the year although the topsoil may thaw out during the summer. This raises special problems for building construction and the laying of pipelines.
Almost everywhere in the country precipitation is rather low. In some of the major grain-producing areas of southern Russia, drought can drastically reduce crop yields in some years. Spring and early summer months are the wettest over much of the country with rainfall of the showery, thundery, type.
Winter snowfall, although frequent, is rarely very heavy and strong winds, the buran or blizzard, often sweep the ground bare of snow.
European Russia, North and Central
Including Archangel, Gorky, Moscow, Perm, St Petersburg.
This huge region extends west to east from the western border of Russia as far as the Ural Mountains and north to south from the Arctic coast as far as northeastern Ukraine. The land is mostly below 300 m/1,000 ft and is level or gently rolling country.
This part of Russia has the most variable weather both in summer and winter as it is more open to weather disturbances from the Atlantic and northwest Europe. The mildest areas in winter are near the Baltic coast but even here the sea often freezes.
The increasing severity of winters eastwards and northwards is illustrated by comparing the tables for Moscow, Perm (near the Urals), and Archangel (close to the Arctic Circle). Summers at St Petersburg (at the head of the Gulf of Finland) are a little cooler than those inland and further east.
Summers become warmer eastwards and southwards. The whole area has a summer maximum of precipitation. Hours of sunshine are rather low in winter over the whole region and average only an hour or two a day but in summer this rises to between eight and ten hours. In summer the increasing day length in the north is important for both warmth and sunshine.
Southern European Russia
Including Astrakhan, Groznyy, Rostov, Sochi, Volgograd.
Although the winters are still cold here and spells of extremely cold weather occur when easterly winds blow from Siberia, the winter is shorter and the spring thaw comes earlier. The tables for Kiev in Ukraine and Chisinau in Moldova show weather that is very similar to that in most of southern Russia.
Towards the southeast, in the steppe region north of the Caucasus and west of the Caspian Sea, the climate becomes distinctly drier. This steppe is rather windswept and hot, dry winds in summer (the sukhovey) raise temperatures and bring very low humidity, which harms crops.
The opposite of this hot wind is the buran, a bitterly cold wind often associated with blizzards in winter. The table for Astrakhan, where the Volga River enters the Caspian Sea, shows the near-desert climate of southeastern Russia.
One small area in southern Russia is particularly favoured with mild winters: the eastern shore of the Black Sea. This area is sometimes called the Russian Riviera and is a popular summer holiday resort. Although the summer climate here is sunny, with ten or more hours of sunshine a day, rain falls all the year round and can be particularly heavy.
The table for Sochi on the eastern shore of the Black Sea shows the weather that is typical of the 'Russian Riviera'.
Including Yekaterinburg, Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Tomsk, Verkhoyansk, Vladivostok.
This region extends from the Urals to the Pacific Ocean in the east, and from the Arctic Ocean to the borders of Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and China. Western Siberia is mostly low-lying and generally flat. Towards the east and northeast, however, the country becomes more mountainous with deeper valleys.
It is still a remote and sparsely populated region north of the band of southern settlement along the Trans-Siberian railway. There are few significant differences of weather and climate within this vast territory.
Winter precipitation is quite light and all of it falls as snow. Winters are everywhere very cold and prolonged, but the short summers can be quite warm and pleasant by day once the winter snow has melted. Summers become shorter northwards, but even as far north as Verkhoyansk (see the table) the brief summer has some very warm days. Summer is everywhere the wettest season.
The Siberian town of Verkhoyansk, whose table appears here, has the reputation of being one of the coldest spots on earth, and of having the largest difference between summer and winter temperatures.
The tables for Yekaterinburg, Tomsk, and Irkutsk (all in approximately the same latitude in southern Siberia) show the similarity of temperatures from west to east.
The table for Vladivostok illustrates the rather different climate and weather experienced in a narrow strip along the coast of the Pacific. Winters are still cold and harbours freeze. This is because the dominant winter wind is from the west or northwest and brings very cold Siberian air to the coast.
In summer there is a reversal of wind direction as the east Asian summer monsoon brings warm, moist winds off the Pacific so that coastal regions are comparatively wet at this time.

Like most of you, I just got the news of Mr. Sheppard's passing. I didn't know him for as long as some did, but over the course of only 5 years he had become a dear friend with whom I shared many indelible memories.
And that speaks volumes, I think. You'll be hearing his praises sung by all for several days, but I too will affirm firsthand that for a man of his stature, who is so revered and so famous, to be as kind and friendly as he was to me from the very beginning is, well, almost beyond belief.
From the day I met him, when he calmed me down before my frantic first game as organist at the Stadium by extending a hand and a big grin and saying 'Welcome to Yankee Stadium!' (in the exact same tone of voice and volume he delivered it over the PA before every game!), to the last time I saw him when my wife Maxine and I visited he and Mary at their home on Long Island about 6 months ago, and we talked about seemingly everything but baseball for about three hours… he was quite simply one of the finest and most genuine human beings I've ever had the pleasure to come in contact with.
Think about this – why would you call an man routinely by the prefix "Mr."? Unless it's a total stranger, usually you are forced to do so because it's someone who commands 'respect' only by intimidation, rank, or force (e.g., the contemptible CEO of the company you work for). Rarely these days do you address a man as "Mr." all the time because you just flat-out love and respect him so much that it actually feels disrespectful to call him by his first name. And that's Mr. Sheppard to me. Nobody at the Stadium ever told me I had to address him as 'Mr. Sheppard'; that's just what everyone did as a matter of course.
