|Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have provided a powerful approach to identify CRC common disease variants. As of June 2012, 18 CRC loci have been identified in European populations. The predicted CRC risk associated with each variant is modest, opening the question how the remaining heritability could be explained. Identification of the true causal variant(s) within each locus is expected to explain part of the missing heritability of this disease and will help in the understanding of CRC genetic etiology. Their identification should also lead to an improvement in surveillance for this disease. Important regulatory elements are located in non-coding parts of the genome. We tested the hypothesis that functional enhancer elements within CRC associated loci contain gene regulatory activity and that a common variant within such regions could lead to the modulation of gene expression of a relevant gene(s). I characterized the enhancer regulatory landscape within the 19q13.1, 15q13.3, and 20q13.33 CRC risk loci using ChIP-seq of H3K4me1 and DNase1 HS data, and identified within chromosome 19q13.1 an enhancer regulatory element where the common variant rs7246814 was implicated as a functional variant. Furthermore, I showed a borderline correlation between rs7246814 and GPATCH1 gene expression level in normal colon epithelial tissues. In this study we provided suggestive evidence for the GPATCH1 gene as a candidate for CRC risk.

Meaningful occupation and a proclivity for driving others to achieve the same characterize Neli Vazquez-Rowland, president of A Safe Haven, with a leadership style which resonates from the ground up. Through A Safe Haven, Vazquez-Rowland helps envelop those suffering from crises such as homelessness, substance abuse, and other setbacks, by offering life skills training, personal caseworkers and more, to complete the recovery program.
Visitors to the large, open glass building at Roosevelt and Sacramento are greeted by a huge mural reflecting the diverse neighborhood; and inside, an active scene, people signing people in at the desk, residents coming and going, and a view of a large "quad," a new playground, and community gardens. Another floor presents gleaming kitchen and café facilities suitable for the many catering events and three square meals a day that residents serve and enjoy.
"We're operating in a food desert, yet we serve three healthy meals a day, 228,000 meals a year, and we graduate 30 culinary graduates a year. Each person receives eight hours a quarter in nutritional education," said Vazquez Rowland. She added that the shelter teaches responsibility and accountability, teaches cooking techniques to kids, and addresses signature health issues, such as obesity, blood pressure, and diabetes. It also operates a community food bank.
The growing activities and accomplishments of A Safe Haven are proof that Vazquez-Rowland has the jump on opportunities.
To name a few:
- The Chicago Auto Show hosts a food drive on its behalf; last fall it hosted its first ever Run! To End Homelessness 5k in Douglas Park, with a Live Aid Concert to End Homelessness; then staff ran to catch a plane to a NYC fundraiser featuring Joan Kennedy.
- Vazquez-Rowland and veterans in A Safe Haven's program were invited to participate in research for Lyric Opera director Peter Sellars' production of Hercules, in regard to the feelings that veterans face upon their return to their homeland, with a dress rehearsal performance, and panel presentation.
- Representatives from A Safe Haven also attended the play "Ann" in Chicago this past year, with a similar reception, which added to the fun and more exposure to the cause, exemplifying former Texas Governor Ann Richards as someone who overcame her own childhood issues to fight social injustice.
- And A Safe Haven hosted a band concert comprised of a group of veterans involved in the Afghan war, who juggled their leaves to reunite and perform at the facility, bringing along friends and family from their faraway homes.
Vazquez-Rowland expressed amazement at the desire of the veterans to come here to perform, as she has toward many of the event opportunities that have come the shelter's way. She appears to pursue them enthusiastically, no matter the effort. Yet her welcoming and gracious demeanor holds with it high expectations.
- Each year A Safe Haven commends others for "just doing the right thing," she said, in regard to giving voice to its same causes, with its Champions for Recovery program, which honors leaders in the community. With such recognition ceremonies and an annual volunteer appreciation event, Vazquez-Rowland says, "We recognize and also connect people, to get to know each other as like-minded people and encourage them to stay in touch, work together and with A Safe Haven. We look for people to recognize from a distance, who are doing amazing work to rebuild society."
Residents of A Safe Haven journey through a Continuum of Care and go through extensive training. In turn, they are presented with job, life skills, and residential opportunities at several turns on their way to self-sufficiency.
Vazquez-Rowland and staff have established partnerships to facilitate contracting of its various services, and utilize volunteer efforts. A Safe Haven also supports its own residents by employing them in various endeavors, too.
- Food Service and Culinary Arts Training program (Aramark, Mayor's Office of Workforce Development) and
- Landscape Program (City of Chicago and others).
- It also employs residents in a Sales and Marketing Enterprise, providing them with skills in sales, communications and telemarketing.
- And some graduates of A Safe Haven's program go on to become case workers themselves at the shelter.
- "A Safe Haven Harvest"organic urban gardens at its main facility (Yellow Tractor Program and Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University) and new veterans facility.
- A Safe Haven Build Playground (KaBoom!, Dr. Pepper Snapple Group; Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Family)
A strong faction of A Safe Haven's clientele is comprised of veterans, and this year it opened the doors to its Veteran Suites.
"It provides camaraderie as they work and practice self-sufficiency in a safe environment," said Vazquez-Rowland. "They can live in the facilities for up to two years, while those who need it are transitioning with a soft landing, versus 'crash and burn.' They can deal with the reasons for they are in crisis; it anchors them in the community."
Both Vazquez-Rowland and advisory board member Brandon Smith exemplify strong leaders who, like most people to an extent, have had personal family experience with recovery from addiction. Neli and her husband Brian Rowland used their financial expertise and awareness of the need to provide housing for those in recovery, as opportunities to give back to those less fortunate, creating A Safe Haven in the neighborhood from which Vazquez-Rowland hailed. Smith brings more than a decade of experience in retail management to the table. He is vice president of corporate relations for Chiro One's Global One Wellness Alliance.
Smith met Vazquez-Rowland through the Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and through the Sam's Club Charitable Giving Program.
Smith said he wanted to become involved with A Safe Haven and became passionate about he cause, as he sees Vazquez-Rowland is, because "It is an excellent program. There is a family atmosphere between the staff and their relationship with the residents."
Smith, who has presented workshops with residents on interviewing skills, as he has experience ranging from entry level, to mid- and executive level recruiting. He is an example of how Vazquez-Rowland utilizes resources.
Guest speakers and volunteers educate in areas from computer technology to personal appearance, dressing for success and interviewing skills. They work side-by-side residents serving food in the kitchen, catering events, and on special projects such as the playground they built this summer on the grounds.
There is a need for volunteers to spend three to four hours at a time telemarketing. Warm leads are provided, and people can bring their own calling list.
School groups, office staffs, neighborhood and family groups can get together a group to volunteer and A Safe Haven will assess the group's goals as far as what they would like to accomplishment through volunteering, Vazquez-Rowland said.
She suggested that college kids who are off school during the holidays could come in for three or four hours at a time to volunteer, for example.
"We need volunteers to work side by side, training residents in customer service skills. And the volunteers can learn from them as well, and see how highly motivated the residents are," she pointed out, stating that 183 of the residents are now employees at the shelter.
Those enjoy food service can join the line in the kitchen doling out food. They just served a Thanksgiving meal to the community, and the shelter serves three meals a day to its residents.
"They were the homeless, and now they are doing the footwork; they're feeding others. They are the givers, and it changes their mindset," Vazquez-Rowland said.
Volunteers are also needed to help plan events, and join committees. Vazquez-Rowland said a new associate board is in development for 2012.
"You could say it literally changes people's lives," said Vazquez-Rowland. "It's powerful stuff."
Those interested in volunteering can locate a volunteer form on http://www.asafehaven.org/

The Hazleton Case: The People vs. the ACLU
Posted by John Armor on Sep 10, 2006 - 10:00:00 PM
Louis Barletta, the Mayor of Hazleton, Pa., has thrown down the gauntlet to those who think America belongs to anyone who can walk across the border. The ACLU and a Puerto Rican group have taken up the challenge. And the Mayor has upped the ante by hiring as defense counsel the former head of immigration in the Department of Justice.
Step one in this legal clash, likely to go to the U.S. Supreme Court, was a series of three ordinances passed in Hazleton. Propelled by several local crimes apparently committed by illegal aliens, and inspired by the Mayor, the City Council decided to fine landlords who knowingly rent space to illegal aliens. It also decided to deny licenses to local businesses which knowingly hire such aliens. Lastly, it declared that English would be the official language of the town.
Step two is the federal suit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) against the town, claiming that it was "unconstitutionally" seeking "to enforce immigration laws." Joining the ACLU in filing the case was the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund. This is an odd partner because legal residents of Puerto Rico are American citizens. Laws directed at illegal aliens don't apply to them.
Step three in many ACLU challenges to local laws and actions is frequently capitulation by the local officials. Often when the ACLU files suit, sometimes when it only threatens to file suit, local officials cave to the pressure, and throw in the towel. This is due to the threat of budget-busting legal fees, both to defend the local decisions and to pay court-ordered fees to the ACLU.
In this case, Hazleton has not caved. Quite the contrary, it has girded its loins for battle. It has engaged as chief defense counsel, Kris W. Kobach,, formerly Attorney General John Ashcroft's chief adviser on immigration law. Also, Mountain States Legal Foundation and the Federation for American Immigration Reform have volunteered staff and lawyers to defend the town's position.
What is the likely fate of the three ordinances? Easiest to predict is English as the official language. Several states have passed such laws. Legal challenges have been brought and decided. So long as the town's ordinances have the usual escape clauses for emergencies – medical care, appearances in court, etc. – this law will be found constitutional.
The ordinance on landlords should also be upheld. Though the ACLU claims that the town is "enforcing immigration law," the effects of this law are entirely within city limits. Regulation of a town's housing stock for the health and safety of its residents has been a normal function of municipal government since the Middle Ages, in England.
The ordinance on business licenses should also be upheld. Again, the licensing of local businesses for the health and welfare of local residents has been a normal power of municipal governments for centuries.
Providing for the welfare of local citizens is the very essence of municipal government. The ACLU effort to replace government by the town council with government by an unelected judge is a direct attack on the civil rights of all citizens of Hazleton. The court which ultimately dismisses the ACLU attack on Hazleton should also award serious fees and costs against the ACLU and the Puerto Rican group in favor of the town and its beleaguered taxpayers.
What are the larger consequences of this legal war against Hazleton's ordinances? Hazleton has a population of only 30,000. Compared to America's more than 300 million residents, including an estimated 11 million illegal aliens, Hazleton is a drop in the bucket.
Many other towns have picked up on what Hazleton is doing. Some have introduced or passed similar laws. Others are interested, but are holding back – out of the ACLU line of fire until the Hazleton case has been won. More and more cities and states may adopt Hazleton-like laws. The crimes and public service costs of illegal aliens would then be concentrated more and more in cities and states who make themselves "sanctuaries" for illegal aliens.
The ultimate effect of this small case in a small town could be enormous. It could generate from the grass roots, the pressure on Congress to deal with the problem of illegal aliens, rather than speak platitudes and duck the problem for another generation.

The August Wounded Warrior / Military Appreciation Day was held on Aug. 14 at the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission's John E. Pechmann Fishing Education Center, which is located on the west side of Fayetteville.
The turnout was a little sparse yesterday with about 35 or so people in attendance. The Commission and volunteers have been doing these events for the past five or six years on the second Wednesday of each month to show their appreciation to those who stand in harm's way so the rest of us can live in this great country.
We've found that soldiers who suffer the effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) enjoy the challenge of fly tying,which is offered at the beginning of the event.
A lot of kids were in attendance although those numbers are expected to taper once school starts but it doesn't have to – staff and volunteers encourage parents to meet the school bus and bring the kids for the last hour or so of fishing. The event remains open until 5 p.m.
Our next Wounded Warrior / Military Appreciation Day is scheduled for September 11— the events are always the second Wednesday of the month from 1 to 5 p.m. Staff and volunteers offer basic fly-fishing instruction and fly tying for those who want to try their hand at that aspect of the sport.
For those not into fly fishing, spin cast outfits and bait for use on the catfish ponds are available. The Pechmann Center provides the venue and equipment; however, participants are encouraged to bring and use their own gear. A North Carolina fishing license is not required for these events.

I'm parsing a CSV file that I've pulled from an FTP site. I want to parse the CSV and extract some specific fields to store in the database. I encounter some encoding I don't understand and I believe CSV.parse also isn't expecting the encoding:
filename = "#{RAILS_ROOT}/spec/files/20120801.01.001.CSV"
filestream = File.new(filename, "r")
while (line = filestream.gets)
puts "line: #{line}"
CSV.parse(line) do |row|
case row[0]
when "RH"
# do something
when "SH"
#do something else
The first line in the CSV file looks something like this:
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n"
I have a different CSV file that I created myself and it prints out as human-readable text. What am I missing here? Do I need to apply a some encoding to the CSV string before passing to CSV.parse.
Here's the stacktrace:
/Users/project/app/models/parse_csv.rb:5:in `parse'
I am forced to use ruby v1.8.7 at the moment.
I know that I could use CSV.open, but I'm intentionally trying to feed CSV.parse an IO stream so that I can grab CSV files from an FTP site using SFTP to stream the files into memory without having to store the CSV file to disk:
sftp.open_handle("/path/to/remote.file") do |handle|
data = sftp.read(handle)
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Small Acts of Kindness
I know the importance of reaching out to someone who is alone. And I know how comforting hug can be. As the recipient of both yesterday , I was so grateful for those two small acts of kindness.
Let me back up.
In January of this year, Brad Wilcox asked if I would be available to meet Michelle Corpuz – a dear friend of his who was dying of breast cancer. I agreed and on February 4th I had the privilege of meeting Michelle, her two daughters and her parents, Omar and Beatriz Canals. At the center and heart of our hour-long conversation was the Plan of Salvation and Michelle's faith-filled testimony that God is in control. I felt gratitude for having met a new friend and stellar daughter of God.
Michelle's health declined and on March 27th, she graduated from this life. Her father, Omar, emailed and asked if I would sing at Michelle's funeral. The opportunity to be associated with the Canal/Corpuz family again outweighed my concerns about the emotional challenge of singing at a funeral, and I said, "Yes."
Yesterday morning I sat at the piano in my living room and "practiced" singing He'll Carry You, the song Michelle's family requested. My fingers agreed to play the keys of the piano, but my voice was weak and filled with emotion. I wondered how I could possibly sing without crying. I knelt and asked the Lord to bless my voice with strength and my heart with the power to sing so their family could hear the pure message of that song unimpeded by my tender feelings.
My eternally supportive husband offered to come with me, but three of our daughters had dentist appointments. I would have loved his company and support, but he was needed more on the home front. So I went to the funeral service alone.
I can only imagine how awkward I appeared standing in the hallway, waiting to enter the viewing. Michelle's sister-in-law, Jenny, saw me and introduced herself. Her smile was wide and beautiful – instantly putting me at ease. She began a conversation and led me into the room where the family was gathered. (They had invited me to join the family prayer.) Jenny stayed and talked to me and each sentence chased away the feeling of being surrounded by strangers. Suddenly, I had a friend.
A few minutes later, Brad and Debi Wilcox arrived. While Jenny resumed her family responsibilities, I talked with the Wilcox's. As I watched tears flow down the cheeks of Michelle's family, my own began to fall. It was difficult to contain the feelings of empathy and compassion. The family prayer began and I felt Debi's arm reach around me. She kept it there until the "amen." It brought me so much comfort and I felt the strength to do what I had come to do.
The funeral service was lovelier than I have words to describe. Omar gave the most beautiful Elder-Holland-like sermon I have heard. The family repeatedly expressed gratitude for the musical number and my heart swelled with the joy of service.
When I look back on the experience, among several tender mercies, I will remember those two simple acts of service and the joy it brought me. Next time I see someone who is alone in a crowd, I pray I'll have the courage to smile and introduce myself. And when the moment arises that someone needs me to put my arm around them, I will remember and be ready.
Blog to you soon,

The California State Fair still has a few days left for 2014, but those not making it to the Brewers Festival Saturday July 19th missed out on the major beer event for the fair. About two dozen breweries displayed and poured their beers, many award-winning, to the crowd of 2000 or so. A ceremony took place an hour and a half before the opening for the presentation of awards to the breweries. Track 7 of Sacramento was awarded a Golden Bear for their Panic IPA which was chosen by the judges panel as best of the first place beers (Best Of Show) June 22nd at DBI in West Sacramento during the final day of judging. Owner and brewer Ryan Graham got the word about an hour after the decision was made. Opening on the last day in 2012, this is one of a few Sacramento-area breweries that operates out of a warehouse, and like some they have food trucks on a regular basis to provide good food for their customers. They have just announced that they are leasing property in Natomas to hold what will be their main production facility, and this will include packaging of beer (kegs for draft accounts is assumed), and their original facility by Sac City College will start producing sour beers, as well as pilot batches.
Other awards included Schooner's of Antioch who earned the first "Brewer's Paddle" from the State Fair as tallied by their winning entries (see picture in the slideshow).
A $20 ticket got members of the public in for 10-5oz. samples for three hours. More shade was provided from the previous year (and slightly cooler temperatures), and there is the continuous effort to improve the event, especially as growth is inevitable.

BOISE, Idaho - By any account, it was truly a devastating weekend on the Mountain Cove softball field for No. 25 Fresno State, but the stunned Bulldog squad will need to quickly regroup after being swept by Boise State for the first time.
On Saturday, the Dogs dropped both ends of their doubleheader - 3-2 and 12-9 - and any hope of a Western Athletic Conference regular season title is now in serious jeopardy.
Fresno State (29-14, 13-5 WAC) will enter the final weekend of WAC play in third place with an outside chance at sharing a three-way regular season conference co-championship.
Yet despite the losses, the Bulldogs also still have an opportunity to earn a first-round bye in the upcoming 2011 WAC Tournament through a combination of outcomes that should become clearer after first-place New Mexico State finishes their final WAC road series in Honolulu later Saturday.
This tense situation for Fresno State, the WAC's NCAA RPI leader at 27, developed after losing its first WAC season series in program history.
After falling 4-3 in the series opener to Boise State on Friday night, Fresno State continued to apply pressure early in games, but failed to take advantage of a golden opportunity to put themselves in the driver's seat for the regular season title.
Junior pitcher Mackenzie Oakes got the starting nod in the circle for both Saturday games - the first time this season she started two games on the same day.
In her first outing, Oakes tossed a complete game and tried to limit the damage, but the Bulldogs couldn't overcome the Broncos' midgame rally when BSU scored a run in the third, fourth and fifth.
With Fresno State leading 1-0 following Nicole Angene's 240-foot second-inning solo home run, Boise State responded with a solo homer of their own in the third.
The Dogs countered on Angene's second RBI of the game - a single that scored Catilin Stiglich, who had reached on a single two batters earlier - to wrestle back the lead at 2-1 midway through the fourth.
That's when Boise State used Mackenzie Whyte's leadoff double that was tightly ruled fair down the left field line to swing the momentum back to the Broncos. Whyte later came around to score and Boise State added the game-winner an inning later.
As Oakes returned for the day's second game, the Dogs jumped out in front 5-1 before Boise State again turned to the fourth and fifth to put the game out of reach.
The Broncos' No. 8-hitter Megan Harvey launched BSU's third solo homer of the day in the fourth and Boise State built a snowman in the fifth on eight runs while chasing Oakes after 4.1 innings. In relief of Oakes, senior Ashley Cox made her first appearance in the circle since her freshman campaign and Angene later halted the frame as BSU pushed ahead for a 12-5 advantage.
Fresno State made a late push with four runs over the final two innings, but the seven-run deficit proved too deep to overcome.
On the day, the Bulldogs (3) and Broncos (4) combined for seven home runs and played in front of a record-setting 785 fans at Mountain Cove, which shattered the previous best mark of 425 for BSU's inaugural game in 2009.
With the win, Boise State completed its first undefeated home season at 14-0.
Fresno State will finish WAC regular season play at home when the Dogs host the Nevada Wolf Pack May 6-7 at Bulldog Diamond.
"We Are You Team!" - Fresno State returns home May 6-7 to play Nevada at Bulldog Diamond for Senior Weekend before hosting the 2011 Western Athletic Conference Tournament May 11-14. Tickets are available by calling 278-DOGS or visiting the 2011 WAC Tournament Central. You can always stay connected with Fresno State Athletics on Facebook and Twitter (@FSAthletics).

WoW I haven't blogged in so long!
I haven't had anything interesting to add from my last post but on my time of needs I come to my blog and read what I wrote. I need to continue this for future references
My back has been getting better very slowly. I can walk and I can run again but the pain still remains when I push myself to hard. I've tried going to the gym a few times in the past few weeks but everything I to seem to do put to much strain on my lower back. I have a physiotherapist that I see now once a month and I have exercise that I try to do everyday. It's been over 5 months I'm dealing with this pain but I don't lose hope and try my best to continue with my daily routine. I've come to a point where I acknowledge that pushing myself will result in an injury and if I will have to deal with this all my life, so be it. Nothing wrong with posture check while exercising everyday or so. I've gotten xrays and saw different people and my doctor often enough but everything is in place, just don't move properly. I have to learn how to move again and strengthen my lower back.
I started walking a lot more then I have had in the past. I don't see walking has a workout since I enjoy it so much but being near the canal rideau everyday makes the walk a lot more enjoyable!
I have been stuck on this plateau... for a little over 2 months.
Although I'm finding it hard to deal with this new situation I'm not given up. My number on the scales has not moved at all and I've been eating the amount of calories needed (calculated by my dietitian). I've discussed the situation with her last nite, she feels that taking a few days to eat around 2,000calories a day will probably help me to get back on track and losing weight again. I'm trying this now hoping this will work.
I'll check back in two weeks to update if this first strategy will work on getting me to lose weight again.
I was hoping to be below 200 before the beginning of June but with my Plateau and my back injury I am 11.7lbs away from my goal.
It's okay though, I'm still trying and not giving up but I'm very thankful for having my friends and my entourage to motivate me to keep going everyday. I have made a commitment to myself last year, this is a lifestyle change not a temporary situation.

Oof. We're so done with grey sweaters, black boots, and the general blah feeling that comes with the end of winter. It's too cold to bust out our bright sandals and vibrant pedicures, but we need something to liven up our look! These Elli Sorrento Wedges ($168) should do nicely - a bright pop of coral brings the color we're after while the wedges are still practical for keeping our pant legs out of the snowmelt.

EL PASO, Texas - Arizona's Ricky Barnes shot a blistering 12-under-par total for 36 holes to take a four-stroke lead into Tuesday's final round at the Savane College All-America Golf Classic.
Barnes, a sophomore from Stockton, Calif, opened play with an eight-under-par 63, which was his career low. He followed that up with 67 in the second round to take a four-stroke lead after 36 holes. For Barnes, last season's national Freshman of the Year, the rounds were his first sub-par efforts of the year.
Also competing for the Wildcats is sophomore Reid Hatley, who is tied for sixth place after his first-day total of 139 (-3). Hatley's second-round 68 was his lowest round of the season.
The Savane College All-America Golf Classic is an invitational tournament featuring 17 of the nation's top collegiate golfers. The event is being held at the El Paso Country Club, a par 71, 6,781-yard layout.

It's like wiping your nose on your sleeve: everybody does it. And nobody wants to get caught in the act. The truth is, we'll use whatever we've got handy to try to clean off the embarrassingly smudgy surfaces of our smartphones and tablets - and so, of course, will the men in our lives. That's why this year we'll be stuffing their stockings with a SwipeTie ($40) each. Thanks to the special microfiber fabric used to make this accessory, at least their efforts at cleaning will be likely to be a touch more effective.

Waking up with my face on the keyboard again...
Groaning at the stiffness in my back,
I slowly get up.
Its dark.
What time...?
Are the boys...?
I check them, they are all sleeping.
I notice all the bath/bedtime debris scattered about
Oh... Ooops...
In the bathroom, the cold water on the floor seeps into my socks
Have I mentioned how much I HATE WET SOCKS??!!
There is movement downstairs
Fat dog noisily tiptoes back to her bed so I wont know shes been sleeping on the bottom step again..
A place she has been every night since my husband left
My beautiful girl
Shit... Did I feed her?!
The evenings events slowly replay
Yes, yes I did... Phew!!
I feel like a fraud.
I'm good at pretending I'm keeping it together
Really, I'm just papering the cracks
Sunday is realization day
Yes!! I made it through another week!!
Oh.. But another week starts tomorrow
Oh well,
Here we go again then....

There once lived a family of ladybugs.
There was Mama, Papa, and seven young boys. Everyone in the family had brilliant red wings.
One night around bedtime, Mama noticed that seven black dots had appeared on her youngest boy's wings...
The story tell you how the ladybugs got their lovely dots!
Hope you enjoy my books!

The customers will payNovember 16,2012
The customers will pay
On Nov. 7, I traveled to Vernon a six-hour drive round-trip to tell the Vermont Public Service Board why I support Vermont Yankee.
For many years, I worked directly with the guests at one of Americas leading family destination resorts. Most guests come from nearby out of state. Many of them drive part or all of the way. In short, they come not only for the fun of the resort itself, but for the beauty of surrounding Vermont, especially the mountains, for the clean air, and because its nearness makes it affordable, compared to the resort competition out west.
Beauty, clean air, and affordability Vermont Yankee is a benefit to all three. Beauty, because having an operational Vermont Yankee means we are in less of a rush to clear cut our mountain ridge lines and valleys to make way for wind farms and for crisscrossing new power lines for the hodgepodge of smallscale power generation that some would have replace it. Clean air, because Vermont Yankee emits no air pollutants, unlike the coal and gas plants that will be ramped up if Vermont Yankee closes. Some environmental groups that should know better have suggested a patchwork quilt of wood-burning power plants, carbon emissions and all, to replace Vermont Yankee. From an air quality point of view, this makes no sense. To me, one of Vermont Yankees greatest environmental benefits as a power producer is that it already exists.
Finally, Vermont Yankee power is affordable, especially when compared to the renewable power that Montpelier seems determined to make us pay for. Unfortunately the paying public isnt just my family. Resorts use a lot of electricity, and it is a simple rule of business that the customer always pays in the end.

Letters to the editor for Monday, April 29, 2013
Published: Monday, April 29, 2013 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, April 28, 2013 at 4:36 p.m.
Waiting for closure in murder
On May 9, 1992, Anthony Farina walked into a Taco Bell restaurant in Daytona Beach with a knife in his hand and with the intention of robbing the business and inflicting great bodily harm.
His brother, Jeff, was with him and armed with a gun.
The four young employees were tied up and moved to the cooler. Jeff shot three employees, including Michelle Van Ness, 17, in the head. Anthony stabbed employee Kim Gordon, 18, in the back.
It was only because three of the young people lived that the Farina brothers were identified, captured and convicted.
In 1992, a 12-member jury did its duty and unanimously recommended the death penalty.
After a Florida Supreme Court-ordered resentencing, a second jury and the circuit judge did their duty — and again sentenced the men to death in 1998. The Florida Supreme Court has done its duty, and all appeals were exhausted when the Florida Supreme Court denied rehearing on Anthony Farina's last indirect appeal on Sept. 15, 2008.
There are no pending court actions to stop a death warrant. It has been nearly 21 years since the murder took place, and it has been almost five years now that the good citizens of Volusia County have been waiting for the Florida governor to do his duty and sign a death warrant.
I want to ask Gov. Rick Scott: Why have you not done so?
Keep NSB's gateways lovely
The entrance to New Smyrna Beach, with trees on both sides of S.R. 44, is a nice natural feature for those driving into our town.
However, the apparent thinning out of the buffer zone between new development and the highway is changing this view.
I want to ask the city leaders if they can have a balance between new development and keeping enough mature trees in the 25-foot buffer zone, so it won't become like many other towns, with a kind of strip-mall-looking entrance and many traffic lights.
This may also protect the taxpayers from having to finance a future "beautification" project, by keeping our current, and still unique, entrance.
Please try to preserve it.
New Smyrna Beach
Dedication counts in horseshoes
The article in the April 22 News-Journal about Flagler County landing the 2015 state horseshoe pitching tournament left a very important person out: Tom Martone. Tom has worked endless hours in the creating and promoting of the horseshoe pits and club.
Everyone should come out, visit and participate. We meet every Tuesday and Thursday at 9 a.m. I was leery of participating, but to my surprise, everyone there is there for fun and friendship. Everyone is welcome, male or female. Again, my hat is off to Martone.
Palm Coast
Unrealistic gun arguments
I am intrigued by several recent letters to the editor in which the writers propose that the Second Amendment provides for armed citizens to fight against an encroaching federal government. Specifically regarding the right to gun ownership, one stated that "we may need them for protection against an overreaching government, as the founding fathers intended."
This argument has absolutely nothing to do with making the same background check presently required by gun dealers mandatory for Internet sales and gun show sales.
But even more perplexing is trying to understand how arming people — many of whom will either never learn how to use and care for their guns or to shoot straight — with guns and even assault weapons, is going to somehow hold back "an overreaching government." (A government in possession of a fully equipped Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, CIA, FBI, Defense Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency, Department of Homeland Security, smart cruise missiles, deadly stealth drones, surveillance satellites that can read your license plate from orbit, directed energy weapons, and both tactical nuclear fission and high-destruction thermonuclear fusion bombs.)
In the debate between gun rights versus gun control, perhaps the folks shouting the loudest would be well served to stick to realistic scenarios and modern facts, rather that conjuring up unrealistic possibilities that only serve to reduce, rather than reinforce, their arguments.
Port Orange
No rights for traitors
I'm hearing all the opinions that the Boston Marathon killer should be afforded all of the rights of a U.S. citizen. He may be a U.S. citizen in name, but he should not be afforded the rights of law. He should be labeled a traitor to his oath — then treated as such.

The 100 project is an attempt to raise awareness and money for global problems that exist yet go unnoticed each day. The idea is to engage a small group of people who collectively can change the world and see the results. Our plan is simple, use 100 people in the next 100 days to achieve extraordinary results. At the end we want to show you exactly what was accomplished…Find out more
For this 100 project our efforts will be going to help Living Water International. Specifically our goal is to raise $10,000 to refurbish wells in the disaster stricken country Haiti. With the money, Living Water International can rehab 5 different wells which should provide clean drinking water for approximately 1,000 people. Men. Women. Children. Families like yours and mine.
In the last year Haiti has been stricken with one of the most devastating natural disasters on record with over 230,000 people dying in the earth quake alone. Since the quake the country has been hit again with the outbreak of Cholera. Cholera is a disease that can easily be prevented through clean water and proper hygiene. We want to help Living Water International save lives by providing clean water. Find out more about Living Water International
Think it's hard to change the world? We have several ways for you to make a difference in the life of a person and you will be surprised to see how easy it is.
100 People (you) X $100 = $10,000.00
Don't have $100... then help us spread the word to your friends, become a 100 project champion. Think about it this way 10 friends X $10 = $100

I read a book this weekend I highly recommend: The Signal and the Noise. You can't get a better topic: statistics and probability. The author, Nate Silver, runs the FiveThirtyEight blog and does analysis of all the political polling. It's been very accurate historically.

OFF THE CHAIN!!! I wish For The People took place more often in the Bay Area. Frankie is very enjoyable, and possesses a strong likeability factor. The line-up was all males with the exception of Ms. Marcela Arguello who on this night made a very personal revelation about her father's health (not comedic) that changed the environment almost instantly. But, she followed up with a funny anecdote about her father that lightened things up. I've never experienced a comedian make that type of disclosure, but I respect her for that 100%, and am now even more of a fan of la chica Marcela!
People, you have to check out one of Frankie's For The People shows! The comics' material was varied enough so that everyone laughed at something. Also, they complement their shows with dope beats provided by a talented DJ!
The one thing I would have liked to see, for my tastes, was a gay comedian that added a splash of rainbow to the mix to balance out the few "that's gay" comments that came out some of the male comics' mouths (cuz we got the skittles so that they can savor the rainbow for a bit). But, I thoroughly enjoyed this show and give them all my full Lady Gaga applause!

Assorted Sizes Yarn Sleeves
These stretchy plastic yarn sleeves are just what you need. Made of a flexible plastic that will open up so you can easily insert your yarn, each sleeve will them tighten so it holds it securely without getting any tangles. They work best with center-pull skeins or balls of yarn.
Included in each package:
- Jumbo: 6 sleeves; 10" each
- Assorted: 10 total; 4 (5") sleeves, 4 (7") sleeves and 2 (10") sleeve
(4 reviews)
How do you like this product?
Share your thoughts with the Annie's community.
January 24, 2016
They don't fit except smaller balls. The concept is good but need more expansion ability to fit without messing up the yarn ball. Maybe a more flexible material would help.
August 4, 2015
Could not use any of them. They were too tight to fit over yarn.
July 7, 2015
WONDERFUL! Jumbo size fits over large double skeins with ease. Like the one pound of yarn skeins. It's nice to work with a skein of yarn that is not falling all apart on the outside as you are pulling out yarn from the inside. Of course if you have a knot on the inside, it won't take care of that! I highly recommend these. I like them so much, I gave a bunch of small ones to my daughter who is a newbie crocheter.
July 23, 2014
Don't know how I lived without them. It's so nice to be able to get to the end of the yarn without a tangled mess. LOL!

Six Pillars Plan
Florida is at a critical point in its modern history. As the fourth largest state with growing demands for infrastructure, water and energy and among the ever‐changing needs of tomorrow's knowledge‐based economy, we face opportunities and challenges that will require collective action to accomplish a vision of high‐wage jobs, global competitiveness and vibrant communities. The composition of the economy is also in flux, leaving structural issues of labor supply and demand with the need to create over one million jobs by 2020 and accommodate seven million more Florida residents by the year 2030.
Six Pillars Framework Serves as Strategic Direction for Securing Florida's Future
The Florida Chamber Foundation's Six Pillars™ framework provides the structure to discuss and act upon on Florida's future in concert with the continuous measurement of The Florida Scorecard™. As components of the Foundation's mission, business and community leaders can leverage the common platform providing one voice to securing Florida's future. And to get there we need a plan.
Leveraging the hard work of the Six Pillars Caucus System™, the Foundation annually releases the latest iteration of progress made toward a comprehensive strategic plan for securing Florida's future. The work in this document represents a collaborative process involving hundreds of Floridians, representing business, civic, elected and other diverse stakeholders. Members of the Six Pillars Caucus System focus their efforts on a horizon between two and 20 years. The Six Pillars 20-year Strategic Plan takes a long‐term perspective of what is needed to propel the state into a leadership position and strives to bypass short-term thinking and build the road to our shared future. Each iteration of the Six Pillars 20-year Strategic Plan presents policy options for further research, elaboration and partnering with organizations throughout the state.
- Read this plan with an eye toward accomplishing the goals, strategies and tactics contained herein and ask for your partnership and input as we move forward.
- Join the Foundation in further deliberations of the Six Pillars Caucus System scheduled throughout 2012 enabled by our collaborative website.
- Look for announcements in your county or region for opportunities to participate in local strategic planning processes, as part of the Florida Chamber Foundation's Six Pillars Communities™ program that will serve to inform the state‐wide plan's evolution.
- Stay connected to the progress we make via The Florida Scorecard.
Florida is our home and together we can achieve this vision as our stewardship for future generations.

Kevin Hays Trio: Sweet And Lovely
Sweet And Lovely
Kevin Hays (piano)
You've Got A Friend (Jazz Eyes 006)
Kevin Hays (piano), Bill Stewart (drums), Doug Weiss (bass).
Composed by Gus Arnheim, Charles Daniels & Harry Tobias.
Recorded: Brooklyn, NY, May 2, 2007
Rating: 93/100 (learn more)
There is something very appealing about Kevin Hays' approach to piano improvisation. His work is unique, interesting and varied. He has assembled a trio of like-minded musicians that— when the stars align— can produce some very special moments in music.
On the ever-enchanting "Sweet and Lovely," Hays, Weiss and Stewart are in their own musical sweet spot. The intro is poignantly played at a slow brooding tempo by a pensive Hays, with Weiss alternating between bellowing arco lines and sparse pizzicato. All the while, the ever-kinetic Stewart pulls precise sounds from his sticks and cymbals that are beautifully subdued—perfectly complimentary to what his two band mates are playing.
A little over two minutes into the song, Hays and company take it up a notch in tempo. Hays varies his attack with creative flourishes that gush in unexpected and delightful ways. Weiss and Stewart lay down the concrete foundation of rhythm for Hays to build on, as his ideas seem to be erected in an erupting fashion before he returns to a reflective mood at the coda. Stewart's use of cymbals is astounding and effective. He has developed an unbelievable variety to the sounds he can elicit from the metal and wood in his kit. The result is a thoroughly enjoyable rendition. Add the Kevin Hays Trio to your short list of bona fide masters of the piano trio format.

Don't you just love Google algorithms? While looking for a chemical formula under google images, I stumbled upon the movie "In Beirut sind die Nächte lang" or "24 hours to kill"… A German movie shot in 1965 in Beirut. Here's the synopsis:
"When engine trouble forces an airliner into a 24 hour layover in Beirut, the plane's pilot finds himself in the crosshairs of crime thanks to his duplicitous purser. Lex Barker assays the hero pilot role with ease, while Mickey Rooney thoroughly enjoys his turn as the seemingly hapless criminal. Walter Slezak rounds out the caper as a deadly smuggler."
Pity embedding the original trailer is forbidden…. But watching it is a must! You can find it HERE (above are some of the snapshots taken from that trailer)… Basically, it's the usual mishmash of the epitomized image of Beirut: Lust, intrigue, modernist architecture, Phoenicia Hotel (and yes, there is a scene where the pool which gives way to the bar is seen!), Nadia Jamal (the belly dance), the nightclubs and get this – at the time private helicopters could land right next to Baalbeck ruins with no "yellow t-shirts" in sight… (Mustafa from Beirut Spring is now in heaven) and… well, "it's like Beirut" (before the sentence became Jad Aoun's nightmare).
The movie's name in English is "24 hours to kill", a very nice double-entendre, naturally with the evolution of technology, nowadays Lebanese can do a full murder in 24 seconds.
