TEMPE, Ariz. - The 25th-ranked Arizona State University baseball team fell to Arizona, 10-9, in the second game of the Territorial Cup Series on Wednesday night in front of 3,193 fans at Packard Stadium in Tempe, Ariz.
Sophomore catcher RJ Ybarra doubled to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning with the Sun Devils (17-13) trailing 10-9, and pinch hitter Tucker Esmay moved to third on a balk, but ASU was unable to bring home the tying run.
The Devils rallied from a 6-3 deficit in the bottom of the fifth inning and again responded from a one-run hole in the bottom of the sixth, but the Wildcats (15-19) scored a pair of runs in the top of the ninth for the fifth and final lead change of the game.
Ybarra went 3-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored, and now has 11 RBI in the past three games. Sophomore third baseman Dalton DiNatale recorded a pair of hits and two RBI, and junior shortstop Drew Stankiewicz added a two-run homer to lead ASU.
The two teams have split their first two meetings and the winner of the Territorial Cup point will come down to a best-of-three series in Tucson April 25-27. ASU currently leads the Territorial Cup Series, 7.5-6, with seven sports still undecided.
Sophomore right-hander Jordan Aboites (3-2) was responsible for two runs, including one earned, on three hits and took the loss. Starting freshman right-hander Seth Martinez allowed four runs on six hits and struck out one in 2 2/3 innings.
The Wildcats struck first in the opening frame with an RBI double by designated hitter Michael Hoard and added three more runs in the top of the third to take a 4-0 lead. Martinez recorded two outs to begin the inning, but allowed a single and a walk before a two-run double by first baseman Bobby Dolbec and an RBI single by third baseman Willie Calhoun ended Martinez's outing.
Stankiewicz and freshman shortstop Colby Woodmansee responded with back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the third to pull the Devils within one, 4-3. DiNatale took a leadoff walk and scored on Stankiewicz's two-run homer to right field, and Woodmansee followed with a solo shot to left field on the 11th pitch of his at-bat.
Shortstop Kevin Newman knocked in an RBI single in the top of the fourth and center fielder Scott Kingery drove a leadoff home run to left-center field in the fifth to extend UA's lead to three, 6-3.
The Devils countered with four runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to take their first lead of the game, 7-6. Ybarra began the two-out rally with an RBI single and scored in the next at-bat on a run-scoring single from junior left fielder Jake Peevyhouse, and DiNatale capped off the four-run frame with a two-run double down the left-field line.
The two teams traded a pair of runs in the sixth inning to keep ASU ahead by one, 9-8. UA retook the lead in the top of the sixth on a bases-loaded wild pitch from redshirt freshman left-hander Nick Diamond and a throwing error at the plate by Ybarra, but the Devils responded for the second consecutive inning with Ybarra's two-run single.
ASU took a 9-8 lead into the eighth inning, but the Wildcats scored two runs in the top of the frame to move back ahead by one, 10-9. Consecutive two-out hits, including an RBI single by Kingery, tied the game and chased Aboites. Sophomore right-hander Ryan Burr issued a walk to the first batter he faced to load the bases for Calhoun, whose grounder up the middle was misplayed by Woodmansee to allow the eventual game-winning run to score.
UA left-hander Evan Herbert (1-0) earned his first win of the season after tossing two scoreless innings. Starting right-hander Morgan Earman was chased with two outs in the third after he conceded three runs on two hits and three walks.
ASU moved to 190-124 in the series against Arizona since 1959 and 213-240 all-time against the Wildcats…the Devils hit back-to-back home runs for the first time since May 21, 2013 vs BYU (Stankiewicz and DiNatale).

Head Coach Curtis Johnson
Overall thoughts on Tuesday's practice
"I thought things went well. I thought we had a good goal-line scrimmage. The offense played well on the goal line and in short yardage. Then we went into two minute and the defense dominated the drill. That's probably how it should be at this time in practice. I thought they ran around well. It was a good full-pad practice. I'm really excited about the secondary. I thought we had a good day today."
On the situational focus his team is going through right now
"That's what we have to do now. We have to play the game. We'll do a lot of situations. Tomorrow, we'll be in third down a little more and a little bit of red zone. We'll do some things every day, just situational practices. That's what we're into right now. I think those kids are responding very well."
On if his team is game ready as of today
"I don't know if we'd be ready right now. I don't think we're ready ready, but we're moving in the direction where by next Thursday we'll definitely be ready."
On what he hopes to get accomplished over the last three days of preseason camp
"We've got to get in one more red zone. We need another two minute, I think, and we need some more third down work."
On how the depth chart is shaping up
"I think it's coming along pretty good. Our depth is good at all positions. I like the running back position and the quarterbacks. I'm beginning to fall in love with these quarterbacks. These position battles are good for our depth."
Freshman Offensive Lineman Chris Taylor
Overall thoughts on how things went on Tuesday
"I feel that things went well. The o-line was getting after it a little bit. There's good competition between the o-line and the d-line, especially during the goal-line period."
On the team working on a lot of situational plays recently
"All of those situations, you see them in almost every game - if not in every game, then in most of the games that we'll play. Everybody has to have a two-minute offense and a two-minute defense. It's a critical part of the game and that's when it's crunch time and you're trying to win."
On how he has been progressing throughout preseason practice
"I feel that I've been doing well. I'm just trying to work. Going against people like Chris Davenport and Julius Warmsley - those are the best two, and we've got a lot of good d-linemen - they're trying to prepare me for what I'm going to see on Saturday nights."
On how the offensive line is coming together
"The line is gelling really well. We're all friends. We all like each other. It's been fun."
Junior Defensive End Tyler Gilbert
On how camp has been so far
"Things went pretty well. I've been working on my get-off. I like to pass rush a lot so they've been working with me to make sure my technique is right. It's a day-by-day process and I try to get better every day."
On the team working on a lot of situational plays recently
"We've got to work on every situation because you never know what's going to pop up in a game - whether it's third-and-one on the goal line or it's fourth down and they're going to go for it. You've got to be ready to knuckle up and stop them short of the endzone. With Hail Mary's, the game may be on the line so you have to practice it and make sure people are ready to do certain things."
On the progress made by the defensive line
"The rotation is going pretty well. I'm still trying to work on how to get things set up. We've got a lot of talent out there."
On what skills he feels he brings to the table for the 2013 season
"I bring a little bit of versatility. I can stand up and play linebacker. I've played Mike, Sam and Will and an extra backer position, plus I can put my hand down in the dirt. I can set up on the outside and rush the passer like that. So it's pretty much whatever they need me to do at any particular time, I can do that."

|Nina, Martin, Johan, Matilda
Bo Gunnar Widerberg (8 June 1930 – 1 May 1997) was a Swedish film director, writer, editor and actor. He was born in Malmö, Skåne län, Sweden. He died in Ängelholm, Skåne län, Sweden of stomach cancer.
Widerberg was the director of films such as Raven's End (1963), Elvira Madigan (1967), Ådalen 31 (1969), Joe Hill (1971), Fimpen (1974), The Man on the Roof (1976), Victoria (1979), The Man from Majorca (1984), The Serpent's Way (1986) and All Things Fair (1995). The Serpent's Way was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival[1] and in competition at the 15th Moscow International Film Festival.[2] In 1966 at the 3rd Guldbagge Awards his film Heja Roland! won the award for Best Film.[3]
He won a Silver Bear prize at the 46th Berlin International Film Festival for All Things Fair and a Special Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Festival for Ådalen 31.[4] Raven's End,[5] Ådalen 31[6] and All Things Fair all received a nominations for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. For Ådalen 31 Widerberg won the Guldbagge Award for Best Director at the 6th Guldbagge Awards.[7] For The Man on the Roof he won the award for Best Film at the 13th Guldbagge Awards.[8]
Bo Widerberg's vision of Swedish cinema parted radically with its contemporary form. He called for a greater political significance and more progressive story telling. The leading figure of Swedish cinema at the time, Ingmar Bergman, was not Widerberg's ideal at all, although he recognized his position: "Neither I nor my friends saw very much in him. We didn't find the issue of God's existence that damned important. But it's safe to say you'd be putting yourself in a bad position if you're trying to slit the throat of the father figure before your own debut." In his book, A Vision of Swedish Cinema, Widerberg concluded that Bergman's films almost exclusively dealt with issues between people directed upwards and seldom sideways. According to Widerberg, Bergman made vertical films when the need for horizontal ones was more dire. On the other hand, Widerberg wanted film to be a tool of the social sciences, a kind of sociological report.

Nov. 13, 2000
NEW ORLEANS, La. - Ben Benfield, a senior at John Curtis Christian School in River Ridge, La., has signed a National Letter of Intent to attend Tulane University and play basketball, Tulane coach Shawn Finney announced on Monday.
Benfield, a 6-4, 175-pound shooting guard, has averaged over 28 points per game in each of the last two seasons at John Curtis. Last season, Benfield recorded four 40-point games. He also led the team in rebounding from the guard position as a junior. He is Finney's first signee as a head coach.
"Ben's great shooting ability will be a great fit for our style, which is pressing, running, and shooting the three," Finney said. "A shooter is always an asset for any program, but shooters are key for this system."
Benfield earned all-district and all-metro honors as a sophomore and junior playing for coach Mike Krajcer. He has led his team to second-place finishes in District 9-4A in each of the last two years as well. Last season, he was tabbed as honorable mention all-state.
"With the style Coach Finney wants to play, Ben will be an excellent two-guard," Krajcer said. "He can shoot the three with anybody.
"His future is in front of him," Krajcer continued. "He has improved every year and he has a great work ethic while striving to be a `player.' Often when sombody scores as much as he does, they are not a team player, but Ben is a team player as well."
"I am excited about coaching Ben," Finney said. "He will represent Tulane University well, both on and off the court."
Tulane opens its 2000-2001 season, its first under the guidance of Finney, on Friday as it plays host to Nicholls State at 8 p.m. at Fogelman Arena. The Green Wave is back in action on Monday, hosting Virginia Commonwealth at 7 p.m. at Fogelman. For ticket information, call 504-861-WAVE.

I write to support the election of Chris Robinson to House District 54.
In his years of public service to Summit County, Chris has proven himself to be a skilled negotiator and bridge builder. In being the prime mover in bringing to end litigation involving the county's disparate water districts, Chris proved his ability to bring warring sides together to further the common good.
Chris's deep knowledge of land and water law and ability to build bridges with competing interests will be invaluable in bridging cultural and philosophical divides in the legislature. doing so he will be an effective advocate for the best interests of the district in improving our state's education and protecting Summit County from the annual ravages of the legislature.
Kraig Powell, on the other hand has been a particularly ineffective legislator. While Kraig is indeed a moderate, this has not endeared him to the legislative leadership. In particular, during the adoption of HB477, the infamous law restricting public access to public records, Kraig voted with the majority, and then complained publicly that the Speaker twisted his arm. This displayed a lack of conviction in first voting for the bill and poor political instincts in then publicly criticizing the leadership. The result is that Kraig has negligible influence in the legislature. The upside is that a result of redistricting, House District 54, previously heavily Republican, is now a swing district.
Chris Robinson will be an effective advocate for Park City, Summit County and the entire house district. I strongly urge his election to Utah House District 54.

Pie and beer day was a hit at Recycle Utah
Recycle Utah would like to extend a wholehearted thank you to everyone who came out and supported local vendors, music, and food at the 3rd annual Harvest Fest. It wouldn't have been a party without beer from Wasatch Brew Pub we didn't have enough this year! Thanks to the ladies of Park City Rotary for their photogenic apple pies. And a very special thanks to the five local music groups that kept us so well entertained.

Chris Robinson brings people together
There are certain qualities one looks for in a public servant: wisdom bred of experience; transparency; integrity. Too few people willing to serve the public's interest possess even a single one of these attributes, let alone all of them. Chris Robinson, Democratic candidate for Utah House District 54, is such a candidate.
I have been honored to know Chris for many years. And, of all the many qualities that commend Chris to this position, I'd like to single out one: Chris is inclusive. He is interested in bringing together Democrats, Republicans, independents and people of all faiths. Chris listens attentively and tries to fashion solutions that truly reflect the community's best interest. Park City needs Chris; perhaps more importantly, Utah needs Chris. With one foot planted firmly in the great history of this state and one foot taking a step toward this state's great future, Chris is uniquely suited to lead.
I am proud to offer Chris Robinson my unqualified endorsement for Utah House District 54.

Roger Armstrong truly understands the issues
The only regret I have about moving to Park City is that I didn't do it sooner. As a citizen who loves our wonderful Park City lifestyle, I want to voice my strong support for Roger Armstrong, candidate for Summit County Council Seat A.
Roger truly understands the issues that we face and will be the passionate advocate required to maintain the lifestyle we all love. We need a person representing us with strong character and the right values. Roger has the leadership experience and ability to deal with issues of population growth and the strain on our infrastructure. He is truly a gentleman who is soft spoken yet assertive, which a true gift.
I have had the opportunity to get to know Roger on a social basis over the past several years and truly feel that he embodies all of these characteristics and is the right man for this job. His professional legal experience as a negotiator and a deal-maker give Roger the background to keep Park City and Summit County moving in the right direction.
I urge everyone to get out and vote.

A modern building in an old ski town? Try Aspen
In the Oct. 3-5 Park Record, Mike Baker took issue with the communities I cited in my recent guest editorial regarding the Kimball Art Center project. He asked that I provide an example of an iconic contemporary building in a historic mountain ski town. I will do that, but first, a couple of comments.
The examples that I provided show that iconic contemporary structures can successfully be placed in communities with substantial historic architecture. Those cited were only a few of the many that came to mind. The richness that comes from the contrast between the good old and the good new, in my opinion, cannot be overstated. It improves the inherent value of each, and the character of the community in which they reside.
Next, perhaps the reason that many of the mountain ski towns Mr. Baker cites as not having an iconic contemporary quasi-public building is simply because they have not had the opportunity. Of those towns he mentions, the only one that I have not visited is Sun Valley. I don't believe some of them Mammoth Lakes, and Vail for example, have a cultural anchor like the Kimball. It takes a forward-looking organization with a need, like the Kimball, for the opportunity to be present. Without that, there is not an appropriate or compelling reason to reach out for the new.
And now to an example of a Western ski town with a strong historic sense of place. The Aspen Art Museum recently acquired land in the heart of Aspen, Colo., for a new museum. Japanese architect Shigeru Ban was selected and has designed a very contemporary facility. You can Google Aspen Art Museum to view images of the project. Those familiar with Aspen will note that the design for this museum contrasts with the historic buildings in Aspen.
The Kimball Art Center is presenting Park City with a unique opportunity. It would be a shame to bypass it when this addition can add so significantly to the substance of this wonderful community.

Capable decision-maker and consensus builder
I am writing this letter of endorsement for Claudia McMullin for County Council. I have known Claudia for over 10 years and have worked with her in a number of different venues and believe her to be a very intelligent and capable decision-maker and consensus builder. Most recently Claudia and I have worked together on the Sundance Utah board and she has proven herself time and again to be a creative and effective member and committee chair.
Claudia's law background, along with her ability to communicate with all walks of people in a genuinely warm and caring manner, sets her apart as the prime candidate for County Council in this upcoming election.

Vote for Claudia, Kim if you value open space
After listening to the KPCW candidates, I encourage your vote for Claudia McMullin and Kim Carson for County Council. Both candidates support open space and trails while their opponents, Sue Pollard and Jacqueline Smith, both seem to view open-space acquisitions with disdain. Sue Pollard referred to the recent 296-acre Gilmor open-space acquisition as a "potential fire hazard." Jacqueline Smith said if the people want to tax themselves for open space that was OK but she would prefer to see the private sector purchasing the open space.
As a long-standing BOSAC (Basin Open Space Advisory Committee) member, I have had the unique vantage point of seeing how thousands of acres of land in the Snyderville Basin have been preserved in perpetuity for the current and future residents. With bond funds voted on by over 72 percent of voters, creative alliances with Park City, the Summit Land Conservancy and Utah Open Lands, large tracts of land will continue to provide wildlife corridors, scenic vistas and world-class recreational opportunities for our residents and guests. These factors create long-term, sustainable economic values for all of Summit County.
If you value open space and trails, please cast your vote for Claudia and Kim.

Memo to Mitt Romney on outlasting Obama
Here is my suggestion letter to the Romney campaign. Maybe you can post this in The Park Record as Election Day is near.
To: Governor Romney
CC: Campaign staff
Here are some suggestions and ideas for outlasting, outrunning President Obama, improving polls and ensuring victory on E-Day.
1. To improve infrastructure, transportation and utility needs while bringing forth millions of jobs (lowering the unemployment rate and getting us out of recession for a revived economy), consider advocating for public works projects such as a national high-speed railroad/train system, investing in fusion, solar, and hydrogen plants. This should work well for your campaign message and polls.
2. For education, consider providing more vouchers for children who are unable to attend parochial or prep schools because of one's socioeconomic disadvantages
3. Re crimes and justice: the Model Penal Code should be universally adopted in this country
4. Reaffirm your full allegiance and strong friendship and support for Israel (should rally the Jewish vote and Israeli lobbyist groups like AIPAC)
5. Basic campaign strategy: trends have shown that for the most part, the candidate with the most campaign funds (raised/spent) ends up winning more electoral votes on election night, so your fundraising and spending on campaign should be renewed and exponentially increased as we get closer to Election Day. And make sure you keep up your stellar performance on the remaining two debates and not let Obama defeat you on these.
I admire your ideals, candidacy and wish you the best of luck on winning the election. Congratulations on your good work, progress and legacy so far.

Thirteen years helping breast-cancer survivors
Image Reborn Foundation's 13th Annual Celebration of Life Gala The Legend of the Lotus on Saturday, October 6th at the Stein Eriksen Lodge in Deer Valley featured an evening of culinary delights and dancing to the Joe Muscolino Orchestra, with silent and live auctions, and lots of fun! The event was a major success at every level, including more guests, more fun, and more donations. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the Park City community, our board, volunteers, guests, sponsors, donors, participating local businesses, and to all of the strong and powerful women we serve.
During this special evening, Image Reborn Foundation celebrated thirteen years of helping over 2,500 women with breast cancer to reclaim their lives. Since 1999, our program has been offering 3-day, no-cost healing retreats to breast cancer survivors in our beautiful mountains of Park City. Retreat attendees are restored with yoga, massage, facials, journaling, medical direction and more. These retreats are facilitated by breast cancer survivors and create lifelong bonds and help rebuild self-esteem and identity beyond cancer. The success of this event will enable us to hold more retreats, to serve more women, and to enhance the retreat experience for survivors.
We are fortunate to have such a generous and caring community. Thank you so very much!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As you plan your end of the year donations, please open your hearts and consider making a donation right now to the Image Reborn Foundation, a 501(c)3.

Article should have praised the whole team
I would like to thank all the girls, junior varsity and varsity, who played on the Park City High School tennis team this season and demonstrated a strong commitment to their team. Tennis is team sport and no one singles player or doubles team can win or lose a tournament. Despite some injuries, everyone contributed to the success of the "team." It is unfortunate that the article in The Park Record (Wednesday, October 10, 2012, "Miner Duo Leads The Way") did not spread enough praise throughout the "entire" team.

A grasp of the issues affecting Summit County
I met Roger Armstrong after he won the primary election for Summit County Council Seat A. I have been impressed with his grasp of issues that affect Summit County, from the traffic buildup on 224 to the property-development rights of family farms in Kamas.
When I watch Roger speak with groups of people, or to an individual, what I find remarkable is that he listens to the concerns of every person, and respects the position of every person when responding to questions. I believe he is the right person to serve on the council now to help Summit County prepare for the future. Please vote for him.

If Joel ever runs for office, he'll get my vote
There have been a lot of letters to the editor lately about what a great friend someone has in John or Jane Doe. I really like the trend. Some friends are so great they can only be praised in public.
Take my friend Joel Winters, for instance. You may not know Joel because he's a self-effacing guy who tries to avoid the limelight. In fact, he'll probably be a little embarrassed when he reads this.
Still, you should try to be Joel's friend. It's hard to describe why in a letter to the editor, but I'll try. Joel shows up at your party with four flavors of Jell-O shots. He fixes your toilet without you even asking. Two years ago Joel found his ski boots crammed with acorns. He stacked the acorns in the corner of his storage space. Raise one hand if you would allow squirrels to winter in your storage space. Raise the other if you would stack their acorns for them.
Joel always seems to do the right thing. He isn't running for office as far as I know, but it would be just like Joel to run for office and not tell anybody. The larger point is he would always do the right thing if he ever were elected to public office. That's why I'll probably vote for Joel if he ever does run but even if he never does, you should still try to be his friend.

A thoughtful leader and a strategic thinker
I write this letter to support Roger Armstrong's candidacy for Summit County Council Seat "A." He is a small-business owner and a nationally regarded transactional attorney. Roger is one of the most capable negotiators I have ever faced. He is a thoughtful leader and a strategic thinker. His judgment is impeccable. His addition to the County Council will assist that body as it engages in the type of long-term, high-level planning that will best serve the entire County. I enthusiastically support his candidacy and urge you to join me in voting for him. Early voting begins on October 23.

Claudia understands the art of government
I am writing to highlight some of the many reasons why we need to retain Claudia McMullin as a County Council person.
Claudia was a member of the council that was tasked with making the transition from the old commission form of government (in which each county department was an entity unto itself) to the modern council-manager form of government in which all departments report to the county manager. This new form of government is more responsive, centrally accountable, and more efficient. Like all major management shakeups it has been difficult but, in our case, handled very competently by Claudia and the rest of the council.
As an incumbent, Claudia understands the art of successful government and has the legal background to see that the business of the county is concluded successfully and without the unending lawsuits that have been brought on by past practices. Claudia's efforts have been essential in closing out these suits and moving us forward into a more proactive and responsive form of government. In addition Claudia has worked out resolutions with other development conflicts that resulted in the preservation of significant hillside view sheds on the doorway to the Snyderville Basin and the resorts beyond, thereby preserving our mountain environment for ourselves and our guests.
Please re-elect Claudia so that she can continue to move us forward, rather than fighting the battles of the past.

'Neighborhood values' choice for County Council
As we saw at this week's meet-the-candidates get-together at Newpark, there are a lot of decent people running for County Council. The candidate with the most experience and a proven track record is Max Greenhalgh. As a longtime member of the Planning Commission and as a longtime member and current chair of BOSAC, our influential open-space advisory committee, Max has worked hard for us and our neighborhoods to protect and uphold our values regarding intelligent growth and to preserve the environment and open space of which we all are proud.
Most recently Max has been in the press for leading the process of finding, procuring and securing large parcels of open space for purchase by the county using our approved bond moneys. These parcels will provide protection of our coveted view shed, fertile ground for new recreation trails and a protected place for our wild animals and our environment to survive. Well done, Max!
Again recently, Max was involved with the successful efforts to have the unnecessary and damaging CORE rezone chapter of the development code repealed. This was after unsuccessful attempts to use this exemption to inappropriately develop in our neighborhoods. He was front and center in the meetings providing public input mostly against the unsuccessful application to develop Stone Ridge and the application to develop the Discovery subdivision. In both cases he was arguing to uphold the well-written neighborhood plans that he had developed a decade ago and should be a foundation of the community's interest in preserving a mountain way of life while allowing the consideration of smart growth.
Max Greenhalgh has a lifetime of community service in local planning and planning management as planning director, Planning Commission member, and BOSAC open-space committee chair proving he has worked to further the neighborhood values of preserving open space, wildlife habitat and the environment while still managing growth intelligently.
A vote for Max is a vote for our neighborhood values and our environment.
Vote for Max and make a difference.

Snyderville Basin resident
Sue Pollard will listen to her constituents
I'm a Democrat and I support Sue Pollard for County Council. Having served on the Snyderville Basin Planning Commission with the incumbent, I know that Ms. Pollard is the county's only hope.
Recently, Ms. Pollard was misrepresented. I know that Sue loves and supports open space. Like me, she did not support the current council stealing funds from BOSAC to settle several lawsuits under the guise that they were "preserving" open space. She wanted the money to be available to buy more open space.
Like me, Ms. Pollard recognizes the significance of local nonprofits. By accepting employment as the well-paid director of FOA, McMullin created conflicts with local nonprofits. McMullin even compromised the tax-exempt status of all local nonprofits by challenging the U.S. Ski Team's status.
Please remember that under McMullin, the county lost both entry corridors. Thanks to McMullin, there is "affordable" housing at Discovery (without meeting her own CORE requirements). She refused to enforce a true Specially Planned Area around Smith's and approved a non-walkable redevelopment.
McMullin, an attorney, claims to be a fighter. Instead, she rolled over to developers, sacrificed legitimate open space and sold out her constituents.
Sue will listen to her constituents. She spoke out against McMullin's tax increase. The public followed her lead, fought back, and created a referendum.
I'm embarrassed to say that I voted for McMullin.
Ms. McMullin noted, on the public record, that she couldn't understand anyone "serving" on the council for such a minimal salary. Why run again? At this point, it's fair to say that Ms. McMullin is "in it for the money."
Sue Pollard is an advocate for open space, a friend to nonprofit organizations, well versed in the county processes, and fiscally responsible. I'm proud to align myself with Sue!

"The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Caroline Manzo decided to end her time on the show last year after being offered a spin-off show about her family. She was tired of trying to fix the relationship between Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga, and it sounds like they finally found a patch of peace. And now, she is willing to open up about her life now. According to a new Bravo report published on March 3, "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Caroline Manzo is now revealing what life is like after she stopped filming for the show.
"I knew it was something that I had in mind for a while," Manzo says of her departure from the show. "I knew that I have given the show all I could. You know, when you have no more to give it's time to go. I made this decision and I'm at peace with it, and I'm cool. I'm happy. I don't miss it." Of course, she must be thrilled to be out of the spotlight, since filming the show does come with lots of rumors and false stories. Caroline herself has dealt with cheating rumors.
As for her spin-off show, she says it is much more fun than usual. "We had an absolute blast filming it," she says of her family's spin-off, "Manzo'd With Children." "It's fun. It's lighthearted. You really get the picture of who we are as a family, so we'll see what happens."
What do you think of her leaving the show behind?

My head hurts from trying to find out how to encode URIs (e.g., from RDF/XML) to output as N-Triples. The issues include spaces, Unicode, URI refs in RDF 1, IRIs in RDF 1.1, and so forth.
At the moment, I'm just escaping URIs per the standard escaping "map" for N-Triples given here (escaping tabs, quotes, newlines, unicode, etc.).
However, I'm a little confused about the purpose of the URI reference encoding described here, which states that Unicode URIs should be converted to UTF-8 (?) and thereafter octets should be percent encoded. I don't know why this is needed (other than some strange URI ref. side-effect).
Do I need to do something else other than standard N-Triples escaping? Should I percent encode octets first? Also, do I need to do something with spaces?
EDIT: concrete example.
If parsing RDF/XML from here:
into N-Triples. The raw IRI:
Option 1
The IRI be directly escaped for N-Triples as:
...and not converted to a URI by escaping special characters.
Option 2
The IRI should be converted to a URI first by %-encoding and then escaped for N-Triples.
(I note that rapper chooses Option 1.)

The N-triples doc describes escaping - that is putting the real character in the string but written in a funny way. The character must be legal in it' s raw form.
"t" is a string which is of length one and really does have 0x09 (TAB) in it.
The section in N-Triples is called "strings" - it's all the escapes and some do not apply to URI.
Percent encoding is a little different.
"%09" is a string of three characters %-0-9. It is not a a funny way to write a TAB because the other end will not reverse the process (it has the right to reverse "unreserved" characters if it is an end consumer of the URI). A raw TAB is not legal in a URI and the real URI as seen by software contains 3 characters %-0-9.
You should %-encode characters into the URI. Then you do not need to apply string encoding to URIs.
Ignore "RDF URI References" - they are a historical blip. The then RDF WG was following the IRI process and "RDF URI References" were supposed to be a placeholder for IRIs. e.g. At one time, IRIs were going to allows spaces. RDF-WG published the specs. The IRI draft then changed to not allows spaces. Oops.
RDF 1.1 will use IRIs.
RFC 3986 does not allow for URIs with real special characters in them. It requires the producer of the URI to %-encode them when the URI is created:
Section 2.1: """ A percent-encoding mechanism is used to represent a data octet in a component when that octet's corresponding character is outside the allowed set or is being used as a delimiter of, or within, the component. """
'represent' != 'escape' i.e. it is not really putting the raw character into the URI.
Section 2.4 on when to encode and decode can be hard to understand in practice as it's a statement of principle but it is usually read as RDF systems do not fall under the "dereference" text but instead are intermediaries - they should not change the URI and expect URIs to be %-encoded.
(and "no" this isn't always what you want!)
(EDIT [Signified]: copied comment into answer. With respect to options presented in edit:)
Option 2.
If given an already-illegal URI, rapper attempt to make it safe-ish by using u but that is still putting illegal characters into the URI.
But as an IRI:
is legal (as an IRI). See RFC 3987 for IRI->URI but the short story is %-encode.

I think the question is more intended as: how do you write down URI's that DO contain special characters (i.e. that haven't been created by %-encoding). Because, just as you say: an URI that contains a %-encoded character is NOT the same as the similar URI that uses the non-encoded character.

In the last two days, two asteroids have come closer to earth than the moon. These asteroids follow cometary, or highly eccentric, orbits. As such they defy conventional theories of the origins of comets or asteroids. For that reason they lend further credence to another, more radical, yet simpler, explanation. Which is: asteroids and comets formed from material that launched into space during the Global Flood.
Two near-earth asteroids
Yesterday, Asteroid 2014 DX110 passed within 345,600 kilometers (216,000 miles) of the earth. (The moon orbits the earth at a distance varying from 363,000 to 406,000 kilometers.) Astronomers guess Asteroid 2014 DX110 is 60 to 140 feet wide. (Source: NASA/JPL/Caltech. See also Alan Boyle's report from NBC News, and the animation published to YouTube.)
Today saw another pass by an asteroid, this one even closer. Asteroid 2014 EC measures 33 feet wide and came within 55,600 kilometers of earth. (Source: Space.com, reprinted at CBS news. Space.com also has an animation of the asteroid's orbit.)
Space.com quotes Don Yeomans, manager of the Near-earth Object program at NASA, as saying one should expect such close passes once every two weeks. And in fact, a small asteroid did pass that close to earth two weeks ago.
Where do asteroids come from?
Why do asteroids pass so close to earth, so often? To answer that, one must first understand where they came from. Walter T. Brown, originator of the Hydroplate Theory of the Global Flood, lists three explanations:
- A planet, in orbit at about 2.8 AU, exploded, or passed too close to Jupiter, which pulled it apart. The problem: all the asteroids in the Belt, even combined with the dwarf planet Ceres, would make a mass lighter in weight than the earth's moon.
- A planet tried to form at 2.8 AU, but failed.
- His own explanation: vast quantities of water, rock and mud escaped into space with the rupture of a subcrustal ocean on earth. The largest rocks continued as small asteroids in their own right. Smaller rocks clumped together with water ice. Later, the sun, heating them on one side at a time, effectively pushed them out from 1 AU to 2.8 AU. Many of these collections of rock and ice coasted further out, only to fall into two gravity traps associated with Jupiter, namely, its Trojan points.
Brown spoke to this Examiner today about the latest two near-earth asteroids. The news of Asteroid 2014 EC surprised him, but only mildly: he hadn't heard the news, but the new finding simply affirms his theory further. He confirmed that the presence of small asteroids, making near passes at earth, and moving in eccentric orbits, militates against the exploded-planet and failed-planet theories. That's because so many asteroids assuming elliptical orbits, and happening to approach so close to earth, are hard to explain if asteroids were supposed to come from a place 2.8 times as far from the sun as the earth itself.
But Brown threw in a word of caution:
Some of those objects we keep calling asteroids, could be burned-out comets, that have lost all their volatiles and are down to their rocky cores.
That possibility should remind us of another interesting fact:
Since 1981, Earth satellites have photographed tiny spots thought to be small, house-size comets striking and vaporizing in our upper atmosphere. [See Figure 33 on page 42.] On average, these strikes occur at an astonishing rate of one every three seconds! Surprisingly, small comets strike Earth's atmosphere ten times more frequently in early November than in mid-January—too great a variation to explain if the source of small comets is far from Earth's orbit.
Brown reminded this Examiner of something else: at the rate they're falling, small comets should, over 4.5 billion years, have delivered more water to earth than one can find in all the earth's rivers, lakes, and oceans.

It's the second time I had bought this black salt. The more I use it - the more I like it. I now use it in all my dishes - including pickles. The salty taste is very strong and it hes also a taste of eggs and some odour of rotten eggs. Bat ! the eggs' taste and odour vaporizes when heated or mixed with sauce. If you want the eggy taste put it on a hot dish just before it's done. It has no sodium and it is considered to have many healthy benefits. The one I really have noticed is a better focus of my eyes. There is no control of the powder's colour. Individually, I like the darker powder more.
Egg taste
Posted by 5436635851791759563 on Oct 14, 2014
It has a nice egg aftertaste, I add it to spreads or chickpeas omletes, so if you're vegan and missing eggs it could be nice.

Mapuca Deanery Youth Report
Mapuca Deanery Youth Day
The Mapusa Deanery Youth day was held St. Jerome's Church where the total strength present on the day was 130 youth from various parishes. The following Parishes participated in this event. St. Jerome Church Youth, Mapusa. St. Francis Xavier Chapel Parish Youth, Duler. O.L of Flight Church Youth, Cunchelim .St. Cajetan Church Parish Youth, Bastora.St. Elizabeth Church Parish Youth, Ucassaim. O.L of Assumption Chapel Parish Youth, Guirim. O.L of Candelaria Chapel Parish Youth, Porvorim. Holy Family Church Parish Youth, Porvorim. St. Francisc Xavier Church Parish Youth, Pirna. St. Diogo Church Parish Youth, Guirim and O.L of Victory Parish Youth, Revora.
Assistant Parish Priest of Mapusa Parish – Fr. Adolfo Alvares, the Deanery Youth Animator welcomed all and the day proceeded with a store of games, ice-breakers, action songs, group discussion on topics like garbage disposal problems, youth and world peace, youth and politics, youth and drug-addiction, youth and the church in the modern world and youth and the nature. It was an energetic and a fun-loving programme. Fr. Caetano Fernandes, Dean of Mapusa Deanery and Chaplain of S.F.X. Chapel, Duler celebrated the Eucharistic Mass. Later in the afternoon there was parish wise – activity – sharing session. This session made the youth aware of the activities conducted and organized by the respective parish youth groups. Overall the youth had learning and sharing experience with their fellow parish groups. Fr. Aldrin D'Costa highlighted this year's liturgical theme, the life and struggle of Blessed Joseph Vaz.
Mapusa Deanery Youth Co-ordinator Sharon Fernandes thanked the Mapusa Parish Priest Fr. Francisco D'Mello, Fr. Aldrin D'Costa, Fr. Adolfo Alvares, Fr. Caetano Fernandes and not forgetting the dynamic Mapusa Youth Association helping them to organize a wonderful event. She further thanked Mr. Aldryk Azavedo, President of St. Jerome Parish Youth, Mapusa and Mapusa Deanery Youth Vice-Coordinator aswell as Miss Avril Fernandes, President of O.L of Candelaria Chapel, Porvorim and Mapusa Deanery Youth Secretary for all their support and co-operation.
Most of our grandfathers often said, "Erasers are made for those who make mistakes". However, Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of our Nation had a different perception to this quote and believed that "Erasers are made for those who are willing to correct their mistakes". On this positive note let us keep in mind, that we the Youth are future hope of the Church and the world. And through virtues and faith in God we can surely "Shine like Stars in the World".

In China, Apple Told to Remove Pornographic Content From App Store
Sterling Wong
Yahoo and Glencore also make the news.
China Watch: Top Business News From the World's Second Largest Economy
Despite having officially apologized for its poor customer service,
(NASDAQ:AAPL) continues to face problems with the Chinese media.
This week, the state-run
People's Daily
has published an article saying that China's National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications ordered Apple, along with 197 other websites, to remove obscene content that is allegedly found on its app store. No details about the material were provided.
However, according to a
news article from late March, many of the best-selling e-books on China's Apple app store contained lewd content. The pornographic content, Xinhua wrote, "has provoked public anger in China, with some parents calling for strengthened requirements for mobile applications."
Chinese netizens have speculated that the government might have an agenda of compelling Apple to exit the Chinese market.
(NASDAQ:SINA) Weibo user, with the handle AGodot, wrote on the microblog, "[A]pologizing is not enough, you guys miscalculated, if [the government] wants you to go, it wants you to go," noted the
Wall Street Journal
Another user, Dao-Chu-Pao, said, "I sincerely ask [the
People's Daily
] about their Appstore porn search methods! It's too hard to find! How did the
People's Daily
find it?"
The silver lining for Apple, which has notoriously tough anti-obscenity policies on its app store, is that the
People's Daily
article did not focus on the company and was not featured prominently in the paper, thus reducing any possible negative publicity.
Economic Growth to Slow in 2013
China's economy grew 7.7% year-on-year in the first three months of the year, compared to 7.9% in the previous quarter.
The figure came under the consensus expectation of 8%, resulting in a slew of 2013 growth forecast cuts for the word's second-largest economy.
JPMorgan lowered its projection for 2013 full-year China economic growth to 7.8% from 8.2%, while RBS cut its forecast to 7.8% from 8.4%. Nomura also lowered its expectations to 7.5%.
The International Monetary Fund, however, said that fears of a China slowdown may be overblown.
"I would be more cautious in reaching a conclusion because the first quarter of every year in China is complicated," Anoop Singh, director of the IMF's Asia and Pacific Department, told the
Wall Street Journal
. "While GDP growth for the first quarter has come in slightly lower than expected, many of the more high-frequency and more disaggregated data have actually been quite strong. Exports have held up well, fixed-asset investment and retail sales have been strong, and credit growth has accelerated."
The IMF trimmed its China projection to 8% earlier in the year, compared to an 8.2% estimate in October 2012.
Yahoo China Shuts Down Email Service
(NASDAQ:YHOO) will shutter its email service by August 19, with users being advised to register with Alibaba's email service to retain their Yahoo email data. Yahoo's only remaining business in China now is its Web portal.
The company, whose China operation is majority-owned by Alibaba, has seen its share of the Chinese email market shrink to 1.9% in the past year, thanks to the rise of local providers like
(HKG:0700) and
(NASDAQ:NTES), noted
In 2005, Yahoo bought a 40% stake in China's Alibaba for $1 billion. Last year, the latter agreed to pay $7.1 billion in cash to stock to buy back half of Yahoo's stake, with the right also to buy out its remaining holdings.
Glencore's Takeover of Xstrata Gets China Green Light
(LON:GLEN) $30 billion acquisition of miner
(LON:XTA) was approved by China's antitrust regulators after the commodities trader agreed to sell its stake in Xstrata's $5.2 billion copper mining project in Peru to loosen its grip on the copper market.
"Them being willing to sell Las Bambas shows there are no sacred cows in the eyes of the Glencore management. It shows they think a little differently -- they've always shied away from greenfield projects," said Macquarie analyst Jeff Largey, according to
"If they can pull value forwards on Las Bambas by selling it -- rather than taking on all the operational and execution risk associated with building it (and) bringing it to production -- I think the market will reward them."
Glencore also agreed to an eight-year commitment to supply a minimum volume of copper, zinc, and lead to China.
China's approval was the last regulatory hurdle Glencore had to clear. Earlier, it received the go-ahead from the European Union for its plans to buy Xstrata.
When merged, Glencore and Xstrata will account for some 7% of the world's copper supply. According to analyst estimates, Glencore controls between 10% and 14% of China's copper concentrate imports. This was why the mainland was concerned that the merger would result in higher commodity prices for local firms.

Re: FICO Score Breakdown (i.e., "Credit Mix")
Cdnewmanpac wrote:
Leaving aside the fako vs fico thing, there is one element missing from your mix: uncollateralized installment debt. Mortgages and auto loans are considered collateralized (or "secured", though that term freaks out people on this board) because if you default, there is a physical asset the lender can recover. Personal loans are considered uncollateralized or unsecured, because there is nothing to recover if you default. FICO does consider this a separate category. This past July, I took out a personal loan for some home renovation (not a home equity loan). Despite it being a new account, which would usually drop your score, my score went up by 15 points. Nothing else changed. I have no idea if the impact would be that big for someone already over 800, as I was in the 690s when I did it.
Seriously? This may answer my question for what to do with my unsecured personal loan when I'm looking to apply for an auto loan in the spring. I planned to pay it off with taxes, but maybe I'll pay off all but a portion and milk it for a bit longer. That's really interesting

THE LOWER LIGHTS, SALT LAKE MASONIC TEMPLE, Wednesday, Dec. 12 and Thursday, Dec. 13, 7:30 p.m., $10
If you're unfamiliar with our local gospel-roots collective The Lower Lights, consider these two Christmas shows at the Salt Lake Masonic Temple a perfect opportunity to get acquainted with one of the best things going in Utah, music-wise. The band is made up of a rotating array of players and singers you might have seen in one of their other forms, including Paul Jacobsen and the Madison Arm, Sarah Sample, Fictionist, Ryan Tanner, Debra Fotheringham, Nate Pyfer, Mindy Gledhill and many more. Together as The Lower Lights, they knock out excellent takes on hymns and gospel songs spanning decades, from old-time Southern spirituals to more modern Mormon favorites. This, though, is a Christmas show, and I can tell you that last year's holiday show proved a real treat in hearing the folks involved tackle traditional carols. Throw in the bonus of being able to check out the Masonic Temple before or after the show, and you have a great reason to go out in the middle of the week. Get your tix in advance via the link above--last year's show sold out, and even though they're doing two nights this year, it wouldn't be surprising if they both sold out.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's campaign seems to have figured out that the current occupant of the governor's mansion, Democrat Deval Patrick, could be President Barack Obama's secret weapon.
After the Boston Globe reported Thursday that senior members of Mr. Romney's gubernatorial staff eradicated their email trails and computer hard drives before he left office, the Romney campaign went on offense. Campaign manager Matt Rhoades shot off a Freedom of Information Act request to the office of Gov. Patrick, seeking copies of all email correspondences, phone logs and visitors logs showing contacts that his office has had with top Obama aides David Axelrod, David Plouffe and Jim Messina.
"It is evident that your office has become an opposition research arm of the Obama reelection campaign. The latest example occurred yesterday when your chief legal counsel, Mark Reilly, in the absence of a legitimate public records request, supplied The Boston Globe with copies of cancelled checks from 2006 documenting the lawful purchase of computer equipment by departing members of the Romney administration. This action was nothing more than a weak attempt to disparage practices that you know were in complete compliance with the law," Mr. Rhoades wrote, accusing Mr. Patrick of "running a dirty tricks shop for your friend, President Obama."
Mr. Reilly said in a statement that his office has "fulfilled over 250 public records requests in our five years in office and we will be happy to fulfill this one."
Late Thursday, the Democratic National Committee shot back with a FOIA request of its own to Mr. Reilly, seeking all emails from officials identified by the Boston Globe as having wiped out their hard drives.
It also asked for a price estimate for digging up the following:
Any and all electronic correspondence (i.e., email) to or from Governor W. Mitt Romney or Romney Administration officials between January 2, 2003 and January 4, 2007 containing any of the following terms in either the subject line or the body of the message: "delete emails," "destroy records," "government transparency," "president," "presidential," "campaign," "flip-flop," "political expediency," "move to the right," "more conservative," "change position," "abortion," "stem cell," "guns," "assault weapons ban," "Right to Bear Arms Day," "climate change," "global warming," "carbon dioxide emissions," "CO2 emissions," "Planned Parenthood," "Massachusetts Right To Life," "raise taxes and fees," "ranked 47th in job creation," and "Bush economic policies."

Waldenström, Daniel; Frey, Bruno S (2002). How Government Bond Prices Reflect Wartime Events. The Case of the Stockholm Market. Working paper series / Institute for Empirical Research in Economics No. 102, University of Zurich.
How are political events reflected in financial asset prices? Break points in sovereign debt prices are analyzed for Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Germany and Belgium during 1930-1948, using unique data from the Stockholm Stock Exchange. Unlike in countries in-volved in WWII, this market was unregulated. The outbreak of World War II heavily depressed prices of government bonds. Countries which were occupied (Belgium, Denmark and Norway) or under attack (Finland) saw their debt depreciate substantially. The battle of Stalingrad turns out indeed to be a turning-point of the war. This approach represents a complementary quantitative method to analyze the impact of political events.

Poll shows gap between Republicans and Democrats in backing Israel in Gaza
A CNN poll showed a considerable gap between Republicans and Democrats when it comes to backing Israel in the current Gaza conflict.
In the CNN poll published Monday, respondents were asked whether "Israel was justified or unjustified in taking military action against Hamas and the Palestinians in the area known as Gaza." Among Democrats, 40 percent said Israel was "justified," compared to 74 percent of Republicans and 59 percent of independents.
In all, 57 percent of those polled said Israel was justified in launching the operation in the Gaza Strip. The poll, carried out by ORC International in 1,023 phone interviews from Nov. 16 to Nov. 18, has a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
Israel launched air and naval attacks on Gaza on Nov. 14 after an intensfication of rocket fire from Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas.
Meanwhile in a Gallup poll, Americans cited keeping Iran from developing a nuclear weapon among the top three priorities of President Obama's second term.
Gallup asked respondents to rank 12 issues as "extremely," "very," "somewhat," "not too," and "not at all" important.
The top three ranked were taking "major steps to restore a strong economy and job market," with 95 percent of respondents ranking it as "extremely" or "very" important; taking "major steps to ensure the long-term stability of Social Security and Medicare," ranked "extremely" or "very" important by 88 percent of respondents; and preventing "Iran from developing a nuclear weapon," cited by 79 percent of respondents as "extremely" or "very" important.
The rankings broke the same when respondents were identified as Democrats, Republicans and Independent, although the numbers were slightly different.
Gallup polled 1,009 adults by phone Nov. 9-12. The results have a margin of error of 4 percentage points.

I'm a translator by profession — but by avocation, I'm a singer and songwriter. I sang in my first performance when I was 8; I wrote my first song, "Minstrel's Song", when I was 15; and I've been writing songs and singing them ever since.
When I was 17 and enrolled at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, I met a man who became my boyfriend and my accompanist. Larry Gamliel was blind — which didn't prevent him from earning a double-major B.A. with honors. I started out as one of his readers, and things went on from there. We were together, studying and performing, throughout my undergraduate years. But then the Yom Kippur War broke out in October 1973, I went into the Israel Defense Forces, and Larry (who had thought I'd stay in Jerusalem, get my M.A. and move in with him) broke up with me before I was finished basic training. He got married in 1974, I got married in 1976, and we lost touch.
In the twelve years of my marriage, I did a lot of translating, a lot of song-writing… and not much singing. My very conservative husband didn't like the idea of his wife performing on stage, so my singing was more or less limited to lullabies, for the three kids we had together and his two older daughters by his first marriage, whom I was glad to mother along with the other three. But the ban on singing outside the house was only one of many limitations, and eventually, in 1988, we were divorced.
Two years later, I ran into someone who had known Larry and me back in college. Hannah was still in touch with Larry, and when she and I exchanged phone numbers, she passed mine on to him. When he called, I was in utter shock — and delighted. He was still married, with two sons and a demanding public service job; I was raising four children (my ex-husband's oldest was married by then) and building my business as a self-employed translator. Nonetheless, we started singing together again on occasion, whenever our busy schedules permitted.
In October 2003, we performed together at a folk music festival in the Galilee. For the first time, we talked about what I had dreamed of doing but never dared to voice before: putting out a CD with him. We made an appointment to start working on it in December… except that he never made it to December. Late in November, he got up one morning with what he thought was indigestion, went to the pharmacy for an over-the-counter remedy, came home — and fell on the floor in his living room and died of a massive coronary. Needless to say, the dream of the CD went back on the shelf, though I continued to perform on the folk circuit on occasion.
In 2006, I wrote "5000 Words", a song about translation (5000 words is about as much as a good translator can do in a day's work). In 2008, I posted "5000 Words" on Youtube and shared it with some translator friends. The song went viral. It got tens of thousands of views within a few months and was posted on more than 100 translation blogs around the world. I was asked to perform it at the Israel Translators Association national conference. I posted a few more songs on Youtube, alone and with my friend Judy Cohen as "Two Chicks from Hell". And people started asking me why I'd never recorded my music.
"I don't play guitar well enough," was my stock answer, "and Larry's dead, and Judy's working on a CD of her own."
That usually silenced the askers. My life partner, however, wasn't willing to accept that answer. "You know," my partner said one day in 2009, "there are other accompanists out there. What about Hagay, for example?" Hagay, a friend of ours who lived only 40 minutes away, is an accomplished professional singer, guitarist and keyboard artist.
I blinked. "Hagay's a pro! He's way out of my league!"
"He's a pro," my partner answered, "but he's not out of your league at all. The fact that you make your living translating doesn't mean your music's not every bit as good as his."
"But he doesn't do my kind of music!" I countered.
"He doesn't now," my partner replied, "but that doesn't mean he won't ever. Why don't you ask him?"
And I did — and we started working on it. We had recorded three songs when, in May 2009, I was diagnosed with an ovarian tumor and had to have an urgent operation. Again, I was about to shelve the project — and my life partner must have known it. "Don't you dare even think about not finishing the CD," my partner said on our way to the hospital the day before the surgery. "The day you're allowed to go back to work, you go back to the studio, too."
"You're nuts!" I gasped.
"I may be," came the reply, "but you're not giving up now."
Eight weeks later, I was back in the studio… and 15 months after that, the CD was ready. Entitled "5000 Words", it includes 13 songs — 11 of which I wrote; one is a 17th-century Irish ballad, and one is my English translation of a Hebrew song. I had to get the composer's permission to perform it — and now he and I are talking about putting a program together and taking it on the road! I'm not giving up my day job — I'm swamped with translation work, in fact, and it's a good thing, because I'm putting a daughter through college and a son through medical school. But for the first time in 57 years, I'm preparing to go on tour, in Israel and the US. And my life partner, who kept my dream alive, is looking forward to being my roadie…

After suffering a stroke in October of 2002, Ferol Hillebrenner, 62, was paralyzed on the entire left side of her body. She spent the next three months in a rehabilitation center and eventually regained the ability to walk. But seven months after her stroke she still did not have the ability to move her left arm and hand. Her quest for a full recovery led her to explore massage as a way to regain her arm and hand movement. Not only did it gradually help her recover movement in her paralyzed limb, but she also found the overall experience "very soothing, relaxing and positive." Massage therapy provides another option for senior caregivers to help seniors relax as they journey through the aging process.
Massage therapy has been used as a simple method for attaining and maintaining good health for centuries. Back in 400 B.C., Hippocrates, known as the first physician, wrote about the benefits of massage. Even further back in ancient Egypt, tombs paintings depict people receiving massages. Yet despite its long history of use, modern medicine does not always include it as part of the treatment plan, especially when it pertains to seniors.
But as the senior population grows and people live longer, millions search for ways to cope with the issues associated with getting older such as arthritis and Alzheimer's, as well as chronic joint and muscle pain. Yet a large percentage of the population doesn't even recognize massage as a treatment option.
A new study recently released by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB) shows that nearly half (49%) of all people don't know that massage therapy is used for seniors. Another 29% have heard that massage is used for seniors, but aren't aware of how it is being used or what options are available. In other words, seniors are largely missing out on the benefits of massage because most people, including many health professionals, are unaware that the option exists.
Benefits of Massage
The healing touch provided by massage can be beneficial for many conditions, but is especially useful if your loved one has limited mobility or is in a wheelchair. Lack of movement causes the circulation to diminish and nerve function to decline. As a result, muscles atrophy and shorten, resulting in tight joints that can't straighten normally. Prolonged contraction of muscles due to inactivity can be helped with massage and gentle stretching. Massage also calms the central nervous system and reduces muscle tension, which eases chronic pain and improves sleep patterns.
Other benefits of massage for seniors:
• Improves relaxation and communication
• Increases range of motion and pain management for arthritis sufferers
• Triggers natural joint lubrication through increased circulation, improving mobility
• Increases coordination, strength, flexibility and posture
• Expedites healing of wounds
• Boosts energy level and mental awareness
• Stimulates respiration
• Stimulates digestion and elimination of toxins
"Getting older doesn't mean we have to stop living highly active lives," says Neal Barry, certified massage therapist and expert in senior massage. "Because our bodies can't always keep up with our active lifestyles, massage is being used as a method to promote both physical and mental well-being. The benefits of senior massage can reach the elderly in nursing homes, as well as the active 55-year-old."
That mental well-being can often be accomplished by the simple but profound act of gentle, soothing touch. It can provide seniors with a sense of value not found through other forms of therapy or interaction with people. "Our bodies are designed to be touched", says Paul Escriva, certified massage therapist with a practice in Chicago. "Massage for seniors, especially, is about human touch. They are not touched very much and when they are touched, it is usually not nurturing touch. It is catheters and needles and not about communication."
Other practitioners find similar benefits of using massage with their patients. Dr. Santiago Toledo, Director of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, finds that his patients who take advantage of massage therapy are often able to sleep better and experience less anxiety and can sometimes decrease the amount or number of medications taken.
Dr. Toledo finds massage therapy especially beneficial for his patients suffering from arthritis. "The older population usually experiences tightness in their back, hip flexors, hamstrings, and heel chords. A skilled massage therapist is able to assist a patient to relieve tension in these areas, while improving their balance, mobility and coordination," He also likes massage therapy because it can be done at any setting that is convenient - in the home or at the clinic.
Massage has also been shown to be therapeutic for specific conditions such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. A study by the Touch Research Institute showed that adults with Parkinson's disease who received massage therapy or progressive muscle relaxation twice a week for five weeks performed better in daily living activities and rated themselves as improved in daily functioning.
Among the many ways massage aids those with Alzheimer's disease, perhaps its biggest benefit is through maintaining and rebuilding the nervous system's response to stimuli to help resist physical and mental decline. In addition, those with Alzheimer's disease have great potential to respond well to massage therapy as another form of communication with those closest to them.
Massage Therapy for Caregivers
Caregivers themselves can also realize the many physical and emotional benefits of massage. Massage can be a great way to help caregivers deal with the daily demands associated with caring for their loved one. Paul Escriva advocates massage for both loved ones and their caregivers. "A caregiver may become...so focused on what is going on outside of themselves that they do not feel their own body. When stress is not relieved it can manifest as illness. But when you take care of yourself, you have more to give and this helps to prevent burnout," says Escriva. By setting aside time on a regular basis for massage therapy, a caregiver's overall health, energy and mental attitude improves while stress declines.
Getting Started
Seniors who have never experienced a massage before may be apprehensive about the process. If this is the case, begin with a localized type of massage such as Reflexology that focuses on the hand or foot (see Types of Massage). A senior may remain fully clothed and sit in a chair for this type of treatment. Others may feel comfortable with a full-body massage or a type of deep muscle massage to work a specific area of the body. Regardless of the method, it may take the senior several sessions to feel completely comfortable with the massage process.
Because the therapeutic benefits of senior massage are becoming better known, a growing number of massage therapists now specialize in geriatric massage therapy. In your search for the right massage therapist, it's important to find one that understands your loved one's medical condition and is sensitive to their emotional state. Whenever possible, it is preferable to seek out a massage therapist who is certified by The National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB), an independent, nonprofit organization formed to set high standards of ethical and professional practice. It is also advisable for all seniors to first check with their doctor to confirm that massage will be beneficial for them. Some conditions are not appropriate for massage.
In a metropolitan area, seniors may go to a spa or a rehabilitation facility for a massage, or indulge in the luxury of having a massage therapist come to their home. The cost of massage therapy ranges from $50 to $150 per hour, depending on the type of massage and the expertise of the massage therapist. In recent years, some insurance companies have begun to add massage therapy to their list of covered medical procedures.
When you've done your research and gotten the go-ahead from your doctor, the only way to know if you or your loved one might truly benefit from massage is to try it. Those who have often see it as a lifeline for increased health, mobility, and mental well-being. Maybe you will too.
Types of Massage
Not sure what type of massage is best for you or your loved one? Start by talking with your doctor to see if he or she recommends massage in light of known health conditions. In the meantime, here's a list of the most common types of massage to help you get oriented.
• Craniosacral Massage - Craniosacral massage is a light touch manipulation of the head and bottom of the spine that helps restore optimal movement of the fluid in the spinal cord. It can be especially useful in treating headaches, eye and ear problems, jaw problems, whiplash, and back pain.
• Deep Tissue Massage - Deep tissue massage is also called deep muscle therapy or deep tissue therapy. It is often helpful for chronic aches and pains because the work focuses on the inner muscles and connective tissue.
• Reflexology - Reflexology is a form of massage based on the theory that specific points on the body are linked to vital organs. By pressing these points, it stimulates the related part of the body. Foot reflexology, in which pressure techniques are applied only to the feet, is the most common form of reflexology.
• Rolfing® - Rolfing is also called structural integration and is a form of deep muscle massage. It seeks to reestablish proper vertical alignment in the body by manipulating select tissues. The standard 10-session routine has shown proven effective for both physical and mental healing.
• Swedish Massage - Swedish massage is what most people think of "massage." It involves the manipulation of muscles and connective tissues of the body for the purpose of relaxation, rehabilitation or health maintenance.
• Trigger Point Massage - Trigger Point Therapy, also known as Myotherapy or Neuromuscular Therapy, applies concentrated finger pressure to "trigger points" (painful irritated areas of muscles) to break cycles of spasm and pain.

Sweetman was pulled from the water by a citizen, John Paul Kelly, who was trying to resuscitate him when emergency crews arrived. When fire crews began working on Sweetman he had labored breathing and a pulse, but was not responsive. His heart did stop on the way to the Fort Walton Beach Medical Center, but EMS crews were able to regain a pulse. His condition is unknown at this time.
The Fort Walton Beach Police Department is investigating the incident. No more information is available at this time.

I began dating a man who has been legally separated from his wife for almost 2 years. We've only dated for a couple of months, but since the beginning of our relationship, he would "one-up" me using his wife. Example, I told him I have a bachelor's. He would respond with,"That's it? Well, my wife has two bachelor's...." It was anything I can do, his wife can do better. It went further and involved my family and her family. I had always addressed the issue and he would back...
