- Superb as proved by 5 days at Guide camp
27th August 2011
I used 4 of these units in the 'kitchen' at Guide camp.The units are easy to transport and store because they come in their own bags; even young Guides could carry them. All four were set up in minutes and packed away as quickly at the end of camp. The worktops make the units extra sturdy and give useful extra storage space, a bit too high for working on. The hooks were a useful extra!

Guests taking their seats at the Humanitarian Awards Dinner.
At the end of Catholic Community Services' 2013 Humanitarian Awards Dinner last week, Imam Mohammed Shoayb reminded guests "How we change the lives of others is what we take with us."
CCS annual event included locals of different faiths and backgrounds together in a setting that encouraged inspiration. There was no sense of pride or competition behind these awards, only humility and gratitude. The dinner was provided by the Little America Hotel, but the expressions on guests' faces revealed their hunger for human connection and sharing of stories.
Frank Layden, retired coach and executive of the Utah Jazz, told some of the best stories that night, from being mistaken for LaVell Edwards to the struggles his second generation Irish father went through in America. He and his wife, Barbara, were named Humanitarians of the Year. In accepting this award, Layden said, "It's so gratifying to have an award like this. But you know what? I don't think we deserve it. We just try to do the right thing. We had a lot of privileges. Why wouldn't we want to share those?"
CCS also recognized the Presiding Bishopric of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the University of Utah Lowell Bennion Community Service Center.
Armani McFarland
The last award of the night went to Armani McFarland, a confident 10 year old with bouncing blond curls. She went up to the podium to accept her Unsung Hero award bursting with excitement. Listing off her collections of canned food, backpacks full of supplies, stuffed animals, and coats for Utahns in need, this girl is ready for more. Unlike many girls her age, Armani has a passion for helping others. "God wants us to help those who can't help themselves," she says. "If it's just you, or if you have the help of friends, you can make a difference."
At the end of her speech, after thanking the people who helped her with her projects, Armani added, "Even if you don't have time or money, give someone a smile." Right on cue, she looked up and gave one of the biggest and most sincere smiles.

And her first order of business? New guy Will. She can't get enough of his Midwestern accent and laid-back swagger.
As the sparks start to fly, Will wants to get serious. Tia's seen how caring too much has left her sisters heartbroken, and she isn't interested in commitment. But pushing away Will drives him into the arms of another girl. Tia tells herself it's no big deal…until the yearbook elections are announced. Getting voted Biggest Flirt along with Will is, well, awkward.

What started out as a lighthearted fling is about to get very complicated…
2. The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen

Everything is familiar - from working for her bossy sister Margo at the family rental company to Emaline's gorgeous (and regularly shirtless) childhood sweetheart, Luke. But when an out-of-town brash New York filmmaker, and her young assistant Theo, come to stay at one of the beach houses, everything Emaline thought she knew about herself changes.But can her heart let go of a life she's loved for so long?
3. Now and Forever by Susane Colasanti
What if your boyfriend was the world's biggest rock star?
Sterling is crazy in love with Ethan. Not only is he the sweetest boy she's ever met, but he's an incredibly talented guitarist, singer, and songwriter. And since forever, he's believed he has what it takes to be a star.
When Ethan becomes an overnight sensation, he's thrown head-first into the glam world of celebrity—and so is Sterling. Before she knows it, she's attending red-carpet premieres, getting free designer clothes, and flying around the country to attend Ethan's monumental sold-out concerts.
It's a dream come true…but whose dream is Sterling living? And what do you do when forever comes to an end?
4. The Book of Broken Hearts by Sarah Ockler
When all signs point to heartbreak, can love still be a rule of the road? A poignant and romantic novel from the author of Bittersweet and Twenty Boy Summer.
Jude has learned a lot from her older sisters, but the most important thing is this: The Vargas brothers are notorious heartbreakers. She's seen the tears and disasters that dating a Vargas boy can cause, and she swore an oath—with candles and a contract and everything—to never have anything to do with one.
Now Jude is the only sister still living at home, and she's spending the summer helping her ailing father restore his vintage motorcycle—which means hiring a mechanic to help out. Is it Jude's fault he happens to be cute? And surprisingly sweet? And a Vargas?
Jude tells herself it's strictly bike business with Emilio. Her sisters will never find out, and Jude can spot those flirty little Vargas tricks a mile away—no way would she fall for them. But Jude's defenses are crumbling, and if history is destined to repeat itself, she's speeding toward some serious heartbreak…unless her sisters were wrong?
Jude may have taken an oath, but she's beginning to think that when it comes to love, some promises might be worth breaking.
5. Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins
From the glittering streets of Manhattan to the moonlit rooftops of Paris, falling in love is easy for hopeless dreamer Isla and introspective artist Josh. But as they begin their senior year in France, Isla and Josh are quickly forced to confront the heartbreaking reality that happily-ever-afters aren't always forever.

5. Golden by Jessi Kirby
Seventeen-year-old Parker Frost has never taken the road less traveled. Valedictorian and quintessential good girl, she's about to graduate high school without ever having kissed her crush or broken the rules. So when fate drops a clue in her lap—one that might be the key to unraveling a town mystery—she decides to take a chance.
Julianna Farnetti and Shane Cruz are remembered as the golden couple of Summit Lakes High—perfect in every way, meant to be together forever. But Julianna's journal tells a different story—one of doubts about Shane and a forbidden romance with an older, artistic guy. These are the secrets that were swept away with her the night that Shane's jeep plunged into an icy river, leaving behind a grieving town and no bodies to bury.
Reading Julianna's journal gives Parker the courage to start to really live—and it also gives her reasons to question what really happened the night of the accident. Armed with clues from the past, Parker enlists the help of her best friend, Kat, and Trevor, her longtime crush, to track down some leads. The mystery ends up taking Parker places that she never could have imagined. And she soon finds that taking the road less traveled makes all the difference.
6. Subway Love by Nora Raleigh Baskin
If her parents had never divorced, Laura wouldn't have to live in the shadow of Bruce, her mom's unpredictable boyfriend. Her mom wouldn't say things like "Be groovy," and Laura wouldn't panic every weekend on the way to Dad's Manhattan apartment. But when Laura spots a boy on a facing platform, lifting a camera to his face, looking right at her, Laura feels anything but afraid, and she can't forget him. Jonas, meanwhile, thinks nonstop about the pretty hippie girl he glimpsed on the platform — trying to comprehend how she vanished, but mostly wondering whether he will see her again in a city of millions — and whether if he searches, he would have any chance of finding her. In a lyrical meditation on love, Nora Raleigh Baskin explores the soul's ability to connect, and heal, outside the bounds of time and reason.

Mark Hayward, professor of sociology and director of the Population Research Center, has been named to the National Advisory Committee of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health & Society Scholars, a program dedicated to enhancing and broadening cross-disciplinary research in health and healthcare for Americans.
Hayward joins a group of distinguished representatives from higher education, government agencies and public policy. He will take part in the application review and selection of finalists for the program's tenth cohort of scholars this fall.
A partnership among the National Science Foundation (NSF) and 17 institutions, including the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), today announced the debut of the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE), the most advanced and powerful collection of integrated advanced digital resources and services in the world.
Academic scientists and engineers use these resources and services — supercomputers, visualization and data analysis systems and tools, and data collections — to propel scientific discovery and improve our lives. They are a crucial part of research in fields like earthquake modeling, materials science, medicine, epidemiology, genomics, astronomy, and biology.
TACC leads User Services for XSEDE, which includes allocations, user information and interfaces, user engagement and training. The XSEDE User Portal (XUP), a functional extension of the TeraGrid User Portal, provides direct command line access to computational resources and data management tools, such as information about services, user jobs, accounts, projects and allocations.
"TACC's unique portal expertise will continue to provide tools that enable researchers to utilize XSEDE almost as easily as they manage their personal online accounts at home," said Maytal Dahan, manager of User Information and Interfaces for XSEDE. "Other than the continuing operation of systems and services, there was nothing more critical to provide to users than the Web-based user portal."

(Television shows with Texas connections are gushing out of Hollywood, according to an article in the Los Angeles Times. Joshua Gunn, associate professor of communication studies, has an explanation and a concern.)
"The vastness, the opulence, the wealth and the grandiloquent way it's often expressed are kind of hard to resist," said Joshua Gunn, associate professor of communication studies at the University of Texas at Austin. "The regional mythology has been rooted deep into popular culture for generations."
Gunn said he's less concerned with those tropes (Texas stereotypes) — reality show participants always get mocked — than with the class-conscious "whitewashing" of Texas in most modern media portrayals. "It's a multicultural society, with all the flavor and challenges that brings," Gunn said. "You'd never know that from watching a lot of the TV or movies that are supposedly authentic."

Computer models will be used to study the effects of climate change on the distribution of a widespread lizard. The models will link attributes of individual lizards to see how whole populations of lizards adapt to specific environmental conditions. For example, the models consider how temperature and rainfall limit lizard activity, such as feeding. Feeding is then related in the models to survival and reproduction. By monitoring the behavior and measuring activity of lizards across the entire United States, these scientists will be able to determine how climate in different regions affects lizards.

ECEMEA Sales and Presales Internship Programme
By Maria Sandu on Mar 25, 2013
Our new generation of Sales and Presales Interns have started in key locations across Eastern and Central Europe, Middle East and Africa (ECEMEA). The intention behind the ECEMEA Intern Programme is to build capacity with a view on talent building by continually investing skills development in high potential countries within ECEMEA.
The Internship period runs for 12 months and the Interns have a unique opportunity to develop not only their technical skills, but also their soft skills, organisational awareness and on-the-job experience. We aim to develop young talent to be Oracle's future leaders.
We've hired young graduates with backgrounds in IT, Finance or Marketing who are interested in building a career within Sales or Presales. The programme provides them with the opportunity to have an experienced colleague as a Mentor who will guide them in their first career steps. A complex development programme has been designed to ensure Interns are prepared for performing in a full time role at the highest level.
What do our former Interns say about the Internship Programme?
Lesi, Sales Intern in South Africa
"All in all, I have definitely learnt a lot from this graduate program. When I look back to my first day here at Oracle to where I am today including what I have learnt …2012 was definitely a good year for me!"
Joash, Presales Intern in Kenya
"The experience here has been monumental in my career development and has opened my eyes to the awesome world of IT. "
Fahad, Sales Intern in Saudi

Romney Fibs, and Gets Away With it
Mitt Romney makes a speech to the Newspaper Association of America on Wednesday. As Romney moves forward as the GOP front-runner, he blasts President Barack Obama as playing, "hide and seek presidency." Adding other false accusations to a large audience of journalists. Sharp tongued, biting and with sarcastic tones, Romney purges himself with a series of untrue remarks towards Obama.

Does the Mormon Bible have the Old Testament and the 10 Commandments in it ... you know, "Thall Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbor", etc.
Does it contain the Golden Rule, "Do Unto Others As You Want Others to Do Unto You." ?
Isn't Mittens a high-ranking Mormon bishop in the Church of Jesus Christ & the Latter Day Saints?
Lying about President Obama is despicable, beneath contempt, and routine rethug policy to which Mittens embraces wholeheartedly.
Bishop Willard Romney's GOD is MONEY, he worships at the altar of GREED & Selfishness, he believes his special underwear possess magic powers (as do all Mormons), and he's extremely comfortable lying through his teeth about his values.
All of this should make us all extremely uncomfortable with Mittens as a choice for the US Presidency.

Camera flashes lit up the penthouse deck at Hollywood's London Hotel as LA's creative community gathered to celebrate the debut of Pixie Press Worldwide. But this was no ordinary launch party; everything about this event illustrated how the publishing industry is reinventing itself with fresh new ideas. For example, the event itself was designed to offset the carbon footprint a soiré of this sort may leave by adopting a sustainable forestry project which will protect over 64,000 acres of forest habitat. But going carbon neutral is just the beginning.
At center stage of the evening was the limited edition book, "About Face", a visually stunning collection of images by celebrity photographer John Russo. Printed using alcohol-free vegetable ink on recycled paper containing post-consumer waste and manufactured using 100% wind power, this first work by the publisher is an elegant example of how you can use the latest green technologies without compromising quality. "We want to firmly establish ourselves as a publishing house that is committed to delivering luxury books and caring about the environment," said founder Jordana Woodland.
"About Face" contains bold black and white portraits of over 100 male Hollywood celebrities, athletes and fashion models. The images were captured using natural light and shot on vintage Polaroid film. The result is a raw and personal look into the eyes of fame and the chiseled male persona. The photographs are accompanied by inspirational quotes, adding another layer of complexity and beauty to the work.
In addition to the green initiatives set forth by this book, a portion of each sale is donated to Smile Train, a charitable organization focused on solving cleft lip and palate issues for children living in developing countries.
In a world where digital media threatens the very art of bookmaking, Pixie Press Worldwide offers a fresh new look at how publishing can balance art, commerce and sustainability and spread good-will while doing it.

Image by JackVinson via FlickrAstute observers may notice a new widget called Lijit atop my right sidebar. What the heck is it, and why should you use it? Basically, it is a tool for creating a customized search box for one's blog (and more). However, it does quite a bit more for both the blogger and the readers who use it. Best of all, I plan to use it here to allow you the readers to give me input about what topics you would like to see me address in future posts.
I am very new to Lijit, so I will plan to come back and do a follow-up post or two after I've been using it for awhile. For now, I would simply like to mention how I plan to use the service.
Lijit provides me with metrics about what readers are searching for on my blog. It also tells me whether what you are searching for is fairly well covered by previous posts or not. When I notice readers searching for topics that I have not adequately addressed, that will prompt me to post on these topics. Make sense? If it works like I expect, Lijit will provide you with a way to steer future Atheist Revolution content.

Recap | Final Stats | Photo Gallery
Tulane Head Coach Lisa Stockton
Opening Statement
"First of all, I am really proud of our effort. I thought we did a lot things effort wise, especially finishing the game. We were as intense as we could be. I give UTEP a lot of credit. They did a tremendous job of scoring. We just had a difficult time stopping them and scoring ourselves. We felt that we had to contain a little bit on the boards. Overall we did a pretty good job on their offensive rebounds compared to what we normally did, but they just couldn't miss at times. We had that one span in the second half where we couldn't make a shot, they made some transition baskets and that got the lead. We just couldn't respond."
On UTEP's second half comeback
"Their transition offense when we missed shots, they just got some easy looks. It happened in a very quick span. They can score very quickly. We controlled the tempo in the first half. I thought we controlled the tempo a little bit, probably 10 minutes into the second half, but when they busted it open it was all them."
On UTEP's Kayla Thornton
"She's a great athlete. She can run the floor very well. In the first half, we put her to the free throw line a little too much. She doesn't miss free throws. That was something we tried to change in the second half and we did a better job with her there. Just keeping her off the offensive boards was difficult. Eight offensive rebounds really contributed to a lot of her points."
On the difference in 3-point percentages
"We had looks, there were times that maybe we forced some but we had good looks. They put a lot of pressure on our guards. We had a hard time getting to our post players in that span there. We had good looks at the basket and just couldn't hit the shots that we normally hit. Tiffany [Dale], when she touched it in there, she was able to score. We just couldn't get it in there enough."
On the rebounding margin
"That was part of the game. We created turnovers. They had 20 turnovers and we had 10. I thought that was a good stat that could even up the rebounds. But we just didn't shoot the ball well enough so that was pretty key."
On UTEP's 15 first-half turnovers compare to just five after the break
"Their point guard was in foul trouble in the first half so we tried to take advantage of that. In the second half, we couldn't set our presses because we weren't making shots. That keyed a lot of that. We are not a team that creates a lot of turnovers, but I thought we were really aggressive defensively and created some that kept us in it."
On where the team is right now
"We're 6-2, we've had a tough schedule and have played a lot of teams toward the top. Obviously we've lost to East Carolina and this one, but those are the teams that are going to be up there. We have to take these next eight games and try not to slip. We still have sights on our goals. We want a championship one way or another. I think we will bounce back and we will be better for it."
Junior Wing Adesuwa Ebomwonyi
On UTEP rallying in the second half
"In the second half, they came in and made a lot of shots. It's like they couldn't miss. We didn't back on transition defense. They got some baskets there. We had some turnovers on them. They just played really well the second half."
On how the team bounces back after a game like today
"We have to learn from this game, take this game into consideration, go to the gym and shoot more. When we go to our next game, play better and use this as motivation."
Junior Forward Tiffany Dale
On her performance against the Miners
"I definitely went out wanting to win this game. We knew Thornton was going to be a big threat. We knew No. 14 [Kristine Vitola] was going to be a big threat. We definitely tried to keep her off the boards. We went in and played hard. We came out hot and then they just came back, taking quick shots and getting hot as well. In the second half, they came out and hits shots and we couldn't get back in transition defense. We will use this game to learn lessons for the next game."
On the rebound margin
"Thornton was a big girl. We should have definitely not taken her for granted and boxed her out."

I do recall morons such as Christopher Buckley and political courtiers such as David Brooks waxing so lovingly about Obama "having a first class temperament" or admiring "the crease in his pants leg". Obama can match Richard E. Nixon (yes I know it is Milhous) for paranoia and "enemies" as it is not enough to have 95% of the media in your pocket, he must have complete control such as the Kim dynasty in North Korea has.
hat – tip Powerline

There is no war on terror for the Obama White House, but there is one on Fox News.
In a recent interview with The New Republic, President Obama was back to his grousing about the one television news outlet in America that won't fall in line and treat him as emperor. Discussing breaking Washington's partisan gridlock, the president told TNR,"If a Republican member of Congress is not punished on Fox News…for working with a Democrat on a bill of common interest, then you'll see more of them doing it."
Alas, the president loves to whine about the media meanies at Fox News. To him, these are not people trying to do their jobs. No, they are out to get him. What other motive could a journalist have in holding a president accountable? Why oh why do Ed Henry and Chris Wallace insist on asking hard questions? Make them stop!Alas, the president loves to whine about the media meanies at Fox News. To him, these are not people trying to do their jobs. No, they are out to get him.
The president seems more comfortable talking to "real journalists" such as Chris Hughes, who asked the question in the TNR interview that elicited Obama's reflexive Fox hatred. Hughes is the new owner of TNR and is a former major Obama campaign donor and organizer who was featured on the cover of Fast Company, with the headline, "The Kid Who Made Obama President." You can't make this stuff up.
Recently, the White House has kept Fox News off of conference calls dealing with the Benghazi attack, despite Fox News being the only outlet that was regularly reporting on it and despite Fox having top notch foreign policy reporters.
They have left Chris Wallace's "Fox News Sunday" out of a round of interviews that included CNN, NBC, ABC and CBS for not being part of a "legitimate" news network. In October 2009, as part of an Obama administration onslaught against Fox News,White House senior adviser David Axelrod said on ABC's "This Week" that the Fox News Channel is "not really a news station" and that much of the programming is "not really news."
Whether you are liberal or conservative, libertarian, moderate or politically agnostic, everyone should be concerned when leaders of our government believe they can intentionally try to delegitimize a news organization they don't like.
In fact, if you are a liberal – as I am – you should be the most offended, as liberalism is founded on the idea of cherishing dissent and an inviolable right to freedom of expression.
That more liberals aren't calling out the White House for this outrageous behavior tells you something about the state of liberalism in America today.
Sure, everyone understands how some of Fox's opinion programming would get under President Obama's skin, the same way MSNBC from 4pm until closing time is not the favorite stop for Republicans. [……]
During the initial launch of the war on Fox News in October 2009, then-White House Communications Director Anita Dunn told the New York Times of Fox News, "[W]e don't need to pretend that this is the way that legitimate news organizations behave." On CNN, she declared that Fox was a "wing of the Republican Party." Then: "let's not pretend they're a news network the way CNN is."
Gosh, this sounds so familiar. In fact, it's exactly the line that Media Matters used in a 2010 memo to donors: "Fox News is not a news organization. It is the de facto leader of the GOP, and it is long past time that it is treated as such by the media, elected officials and the public."
In fact, this is the signature line of Media Matters in discussing Fox News, which they say they exist to destroy. Their CEO, David Brock told Politico in 2011 that their strategy was a "war on Fox" that is executed by 90 staff members and a $10 million yearly budget, gratis liberal donors.
[……] What the Obama administration is doing, and what liberals are funding at MMFA is beyond chilling – it's a deep freeze.
On the heels of Dunn's attack on Fox, Brock wrote a letter to progressive organizations bragging about the U.S. government trashing a news organization: "In recent days, a new level of scrutiny has been directed toward Fox News, in no small part due to statements from the White House, and from Media Matters, challenging its standing as a news organization." Point of order: who put Media Matters in charge of determining what is and isn't a news operation?
A Media Matters memo found its way into the public domain and if you care at all about decency and freedom of the press, it will make you throw up. If you like McCarthyism, it's right up your alley. It details to liberal donors how they have plans to assemble opposition research on Fox News employees.
It complains of the "pervasive unwillingness among members of the media to officially kick Fox News to the curb of the press club" and outlines how they are going to change that through targeting elite media figures and turning them against Fox. They say they want to set up a legal fund to sue (harass) conservatives for any "slanderous" comments they make about progressives on air. They actually cite one of the best journalists around, Jake Tapper, as a problem because he questioned the White House about calling a news outlet "illegitimate." Tapper can see the obvious: if the White House can call one news outlet illegitimate for asking tough questions, then guess who is next? Anyone.
We defend freedom of the press because of the principle, not because we like everything the press does. For example, I defend MSNBC's right to run liberal programming to their hearts content.
Monitoring the media is actually a good thing; the media should be held accountable, including Fox News. When MMFA began I was supportive of their endeavor and even used some of their research. They seemed a counterbalance to conservative media monitoring organizations.
But now the mask is off. They make no bones about their intentions, and it's not a fair media. It is clear now that the idea of freedom of the press actually offends Media Matters. In their memo, they complain about "an expansive view of legal precedent protecting the freedom of the press, and the progressive movement's own commitment to the First Amendment" as an impediment to be overcome or changed. They say they are "consider[ing] pushing prominent progressives to stop appearing on Fox News." For those who defy the order, they threaten to start daily publishing the names of Democrats who appear in order to shame them. If that doesn't work, presumably they will just shave our heads and march us down Constitution Avenue.
When Anita Dunn was informing America – as a senior government official – which news organizations were "legitimate," she conveniently deemed CNN, which rarely challenges the White House, as a "real" network. Presumably she believes MSNBC is "legitimate" also, despite their undisguised disgust of the GOP and hagiography of the president, not to mention more opinion programming than any cable outlet.
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume she thinks CBS is "legitimate" after they just ran what amounted to a 2016 ad for Hillary Clinton on "60 Minutes." CBS is the same place that has a political director who also writes for one of the most liberal outlets in the country, Slate. Who also just wrote in that publication that the president should "pulverize" the GOP. Imagine a political director at CBS hired away from the Weekly Standard who then wrote an article about "pulverizing" Democrats. I know, I lost you at the part where CBS hired a political director from a conservative outlet.
Last week Rolling Stone editor Michael Hastings – who is a liberal and said recently that "most journalists I know are liberal" – discussed his time covering Obama on the campaign trail. Among the things he witnessed was a reporter trying to interview Obama using a sock puppet.
He told MSNBCs Martin Bashir, "That's the presence of Obama, even on the press corps, even on the people who follow him every day. When they are near him, they lose their mind sometimes. They start behaving in ways, you know, that are juvenile and amateurish and they swoon."
Hastings admitted that the presence of Obama made him go gooey too. "Did I ask about drones, did I ask about civil liberties? No, I did not."
I guess this is what the White House and their friends at Media Matters call the "legitimate" media.

As I have noted a couple times, Chuck Hagel has served as chairman for the Atlantic Council. His vice chairman is Chas Freeman. In a speech in Moscow on December, Freeman took to decrying the "fifth column" of disinformation agents in the United States who act on Israel's behalf. Aside from the fact that Jews in particular have been branded for hundreds and hundreds of years as disloyal to their countries, the speech is a shocking diatribe that builds on the notion that behind any pro-Israel journalism is a "fifth column" of Jews.
A reader asks whether Freeman was actually singling out Jews. Let's take a look.
Freeman began his speech by using a Hebrew word to describe this purported enterprise. "In the brief time available to me as a panelist, I would like to put forward some thoughts about the control of narrative and the manipulation of information as an essential element of modern warfare. The Israelis call this 'hasbara.' Since they are without doubt the most skilled contemporary practitioners of the art, it seems appropriate to use the Hebrew word for it. And, since Israel's most recent war (against the Palestinians in Gaza) sputtered to an end just ten days ago, I'll cite a few examples from that war to illustrate my main points." [……]
He asserted these people are traitors to America: "In some countries, like the United States, Israel can rely upon a 'fifth column' of activist sympathizers to amplify its messages, to rebut and discredit statements that contradict its arguments, facts, and fabrications, and to impugn the moral standing of those who make such statements." Each and every one of these fifth columnists, wouldn't you know it, is Jewish.
He called out a Jewish organization: "[T]he Jewish Agency for Israel has sponsored an online 'Hasbara Handbook' for students around the world to use as advocates of Israel and its policies." And then he cited another Jewish cabal: "The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America – an organization notorious for the viciousness of its efforts to blacken the reputations of those who criticize Israel or advance accounts of events that deviate from the official Israeli narrative by branding them as 'anti-Semitic' or 'self-hating Jews.' […….]
He was not done. Next come the rabbis: "In addition, many American rabbis see it as their duty to rally their congregations to Israel's defense. One typical example was a rabbi who, as the Gaza fighting began, stressed to his New York congregants that 'making yourself well informed and able to articulate Israel's case clearly and compellingly is … important. … No slanted print media article or editorial or electronic report that is … unbalanced and unfair can be allowed to go unchallenged. … [………] All of these are our challenge. Get informed, stay informed, and let your voice be heard.' "
No mention was made of the thousands of Christian churches or the largest pro-Zionist organization in America, Christians United For Israel, all of which strongly support the Jewish State and work to combat media bias against Israel. (And Freeman never actually looked at whether the media is actually anti-Israel; he simply assumed it is accurate and everything to the contrary is propaganda.)
The rest of Freeman's twisted version of Middle East events I leave to others. But can there be any doubt that this is a smear on Jewish Americans in particular? [……..] (Someone should ask Hagel at the hearing what he thinks.)
And more to the point, what is Hagel and his organization doing with someone on their board who spews this verbiage? Hagel should be asked about these words, his relationship with Freeman and why, for goodness sake, he would agree to serve with him.

There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Is vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) contagious?
Can VUR be prevented?
No, but many urinary tract infections that are associated with VUR can be prevented.
Is VUR inherited?
Yes. VUR runs strongly in families, and both siblings and offspring of people with a history of VUR are at higher risk for VUR. In some cases, it is recommended that such siblings or offspring undergo testing for VUR, although this is not needed in most cases.
Is surgery mandatory for vesicoureteral reflux?
Most of the time, surgery is not mandatory. The majority of cases do not require surgery.
What type of follow-up is needed for children with VUR?
Most children with VUR are seen every 6-12 months, although infants and toddlers may be seen more often. Throughout the process, kidney growth is monitored with ultrasound. Children with VUR should always have their urine checked to rule out UTI when they have a high fever. Once VUR is resolved, it usually does not come back. In children who have scarring of the kidneys, lifelong follow-up is needed to monitor kidney function. This may include blood pressure checks and urine tests to determine protein levels.
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."

Klapheke said she was overwhelmed.
"I really wasn't a good mom the past few days," Klapheke said, repeatedly insisting to see her surviving children during the 2012 interview.
Initially, Klapheke said she didn't need a lawyer. Then, after more than one hour of questioning, she asked, "I can't think straight right now...do I need a lawyer?"
The video is being played as part of the second day of testimony in the Klapheke trial.
Klapheke was arrested in August 2012 and charged with first-degree felony injury to a child. If convicted, the jury could sentence her anywhere from five to 99 years – or life – in prison.
The courtroom broke for lunch early at 11 a.m. so work can be done on the quality of the interview video.
Jurors returned at 1 p.m. to continue watching the video.
Friday, Jan. 31 (Day 5)
Accused mom Tiffany Klapheke started hyperventilating, crying and yelling – and had to be escorted from the courtroom – as the second autopsy photo of her toddler daughter Tamryn was shown in court Friday afternoon.
When she returned to court after her outburst, the 23-year-old Klapheke wasn't allowed to look at devices being used in the room – such as the laptop on her table – to display the photos.
Klapheke, 23, is on trial for allegedly failing to provide adequate food, water and medical attention to 22-month-old Tamryn before she died. The child's two young siblings were also found in deteriorating conditions but ultimately survived.
Jurors on Thursday and Friday watched Klapheke's nearly 7-hour interview with police – and other prosecution witnesses – before starting to take a look at autopsy photos Friday afternoon.
The photo that apparently upset Klapheke was the second of what appeared to be up to 20 photos.
Dr. Marc Krouse, chief deputy medical examiner for Tarrant County, said toddler Tamryn was dead six to 16 hours before she was observed at Abilene Regional Medical Center after Klapheke found her unresponsive in her Dyess Air Force Base home.
Tamryn died in late August 2012.
Krouse said fecal matter was found in Tamryn's stomach and chemical burns – the result of feces – were found on her body. The toddler died face down, he said.
In addition, Krouse said a look at one of Tamryn's bones showed 15 "Harris lines," which show up when the bone is trying to recover after not growing for a while. It is the result of extreme stress and can be caused by starvation. The 15 "Harris lines," Krouse said, are from a year time frame.
Meanwhile, while being questioned after Tamryn died from what authorities have called severe neglect, Klapheke sobbed and hugged her then live-in boyfriend, ultimately telling him "it's my fault."
In the video, after former Dyess Air Force Base airman Christopher Perez entered the interview room, Perez repeatedly said he was sorry what happened to Klapheke.
Perez told Klapheke, "I know you wouldn't do anything to harm anyone."
After calling Perez her "best friend" before he arrived in the police interview room, Klapheke said she realized Tamryn's purple feet were a problem four days before her death.
"I just didn't want to be around her...I was so ashamed," Klapheke said.
But, Klapheke added, "I didn't think it was as bad as it was."
Klapheke's nearly 7-hour police interview showed Klapheke asking to talk to Perez, who a military judge found guilty of three specifications of child endangerment and one specification of adultery.
The military judge recently sentenced Perez, a former senior airman who was stationed at Dyess Air Force Base, to three years confinement – along with calling for his dishonorable discharge from the Air Force – for his role in Tamryn's death.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jul 01st, 2004
Running Time: 121
Director: Rick Davis
Company: Baby Doll Pictures
Cast: Pason, Kina Kai, Saholy, Cytheria, Alisha Bizart, Gia (I)
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Stock this teaser and pleaser pretty strong - especially if your customers flirt with your clerks.
What Gia does to candy should be against the law. Oral teasing with a phallic-shaped all day sucker works wonders for sales. From behind a candy store counter, Gia moves and flirts with a customer. She finally switches from candy to cock, artfully deep throating the happily surprised dude like he was a candy cane. Her scene deserves a pre-nom in TWO categories: Best Oral and Best Tease.
The others keep the theme constant. Kina Kai plays it straight and innocent - at least, until she has a cock in her mouth. Busty and dusky Saholy top off the tape as she reverses the roles, playing a customer seduced by the male clerk.

I wanted to do this roster last because it's my understanding that it's the last roster to be finalized, but decided to stick with the high-to-low order that I established with the first two parts.
As alluded in the previous installment, Potomac had several pitchers spend time in both the 'pen and the starting rotation last season, but only one seems likely to me to get the call to Harrisburg. The rest will either repeat, spend time in
purgatory extended Spring, or will be released. I'm not inclined to make calls on the latter, but I will say that these folks are relatively safe.

About the only column I'm confident in is the relievers. Not that they'll stick, but if they make an Opening Day roster, that's how they'll be used. Generally speaking, I think the younger swingmen have a better chance of making it back into the rotation, but as you can see, there are a lot of SPs to contend with.
As teased yesterday, the two 2011 draft picks that I feel have a chance of making it to Woodbridge in April are Alex Meyer and Brian Dupra. That's probably too aggressive for Meyer, but I felt like taking a gamble with one of the late signs and Meyer seemed the best choice. Dupra is simply another gut choice: I feel like one of the Auburn collegiate picks is going skip western Maryland.
Next up: The fourth and final installment in this exercise of looking at the pitching candidates for Hagerstown.

The accelerated camp roster is so comprehensive that it would almost be easier to list which players on each roster are not in the ACR
I only count 6 of the 17 listed as on the accelerated roster.
I know there are 47 players on the ACR list, must be sprinkled throughout the system.
Could you post a link to the ACR? Has this group reported already? Thanks!
Luke posted the link in the article. Click on the blue "these folks are relatively safe."
You mean the link that my filter here at work screens out???!!! Will have to wait until this evening at home. Drats.
I do think you may be right on moving a couple of the 2011 draft picks up. I think if you don't, you don't give more deserving inviduals a place to start because too many good pitchers in Low A. I think Purke goes before Meyer though, but I'd probably go with both in Low A for less pressure on the higher picks.
I know it's too early for you to worry about it, but I've been taking a look at the Yankees (hey, I've been a Yankee fan since the early '70's; the Nationals are certainly nearer and no less dear, but I'm not giving up the pinstripes). As near as I can tell it, Brad Meyers is one of six pitchers competing for two spots in the Yankee bullpen. One of the six is a LHP (Cabral), and since the Yankees' only LHRP is Boone Logan (who from my experience is only just this side of Slaten, but the Yankees seem to like him), Cabral has the inside track on one spot. So Meyers has a shot, but he's going to have to earn it to stay out of Syracuse.
In other Nationals/Yankees news, the Yankees signed Raul Ibanez and Eric Chavez yesterday. Unless someone gets hurt, all of the position player roster spots on the Yankees' 25 man roster are now spoken for, which is bad news for Justin Maxwell. On the bright side for J-Max, Chavez is no more than even money to make it through ST in one piece. J-Max is out of options, so he'd have to clear waivers before going to AAA. I think that the Nationals could do worse than Maxwell for the 5th OF spot. OTOH no, Luke, I'm not interested in trading Meyers for Maxwell 🙂
[…] Erickson has posted some predictions (for AAA, AA, high-A and low-A), I put in an updated guess on Syracuse's rotation post Gonzalez trade, and I had a […]

Cotoneaster lacteus (late cotoneaster) is a species of flowering plant in the genus Cotoneaster of the family Rosaceae, native to the Yunnan Province of China. It is a large evergreen shrub growing to 4 m (13 ft) tall and wide. Clusters of white flowers are followed by masses of small, globose, red fruits (pomes) in autumn. Unusually for this genus, the fruits are avoided by birds, hence garden escapes are rare, and the fruit persists on the plant


text: Oct 6, 2013 13:25 Heartfelt 'Freedom' opening at the CAC Heartfelt 'Freedom' opening at the CAC Freedom Freedom Barri Bronston| Special to theadvocate.com July 10, 2013; 4:46 p.m. Comments When Aimee Hayes, producing artistic director of Southern Rep Theatre, was presented with the script for "Freedom," she expected nothing less than a beautiful, heartfelt story. She knew Sean Patterson and Joyce Pulitzer, two of the play's four playwrights, so she wasn't surprised by how moved she was upon reading their words. "I adore this story," Hayes said. "It will personally resonate with anyone who has family tales of how their ancestors came to be part of this nation." With its world premiere Friday, July 12, at the Contemporary Arts Center, the play tells the story of a Holocaust survivor and an Irish immigrant who meet by chance a few hours before their American naturalization ceremony. Through the pain of their pasts, they forge a bond that reveals they are more alike than different. "Freedom," which runs through July 28, concludes Southern Rep's 26th Season Lagniappe Series. Written by Pulitzer, Patterson and the late David Seelig and Kitty Greenberg, it is partly based on survivor testimony. As one might expect from the title, its message is one of freedom - not just "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," but freedom to face the truth of one's self with grace, acceptance and forgiveness. "It's a touching story of a woman who survives the Holocaust with her mother and a man from Ireland tortured by his own demons," Hayes said. Directed by Mark Routhier, "Freedom" stars Lorraine LeBlanc as Yetta Straus and John Neisler as Danny McCabe. Straus is an elderly Jewish woman, McCabe a middle-aged man from a Northern Ireland ghetto. Despite their differences, their mutual pain results in friendship, and the two share details of their lives that they likely would never reveal to their own families. As serious as "Freedom" is, the play is not without humor. "I think they are both very witty characters," Hayes said. "They have a lot of fun bumping up against each other. It creates some comic elements." Pulitzer began writing "Freedom" in 1998, working on it on and off while also writing the comedy "Life, Liberty and Social Security" with Seelig and Bernard Burk. Pulitzer invited Seelig to help her with "Freedom," because she knew he could fill in that which was missing. "He was brilliant and funny," Pulitzer said. "He made dull things very interesting, and I enjoyed working with him." Despite Seelig's illness, the two worked on the play twice a week. Greenberg, who had worked as a drama instructor at Isidore Newman School, eventually joined in the effort, though she, too, was ill. "It was like an out-of-body experience," Pulitzer said, "and the only thing you think of is, 'You've got a goal out there.' The baby was the play. Then we lost David, and I was so grateful to have Kitty." Patterson became the fourth writer after participating in a reading of "Freedom" at Pulitzer's home. "Then we lost Kitty, and Sean and I completed it," she said. "I promised David and Kitty that I would produce it, and that's what I'm doing." Pulitzer said she got the idea for "Freedom" while serving as chairman of the New Orleans chapter of the Anti-Defamation League in the 1990s. The experience gave her the opportunity to work with people of varied ethnicities, religions and races, and their stories resonated. "This is a remarkable country," she said. "You can be Irish, Jewish, Latino, black, white. Everyone is a different nationality, and people don't pay attention. And you know why? Because this is America. "My own father brought over two people from Germany, and my paternal grandparents came over from Europe," she said. Hayes said she fell in love with "Freedom," in part, because of her own fascination with genealogy. "It made me think about my family, my great-great-grandmother who at the age of 16, by herself, made her way to Indiana (from Ireland)," Pulitzer said. Patterson said he was drawn to the project by "the underlying spirit of hope" in the characters. "Their suffering is at once unimaginable and all too real, and yet they persevere," he said.

"So You Think You Can Dance" Season 6, Episode 15: TV Recap
Before we get into this week's competition episode of "So You Think You Can Dance," I want to make a plea to the show's producers: Please, for the love of all that is holy, can we cut back on all the new production glitz that's completely distracting from the otherwise brilliant routines that are being showcased this season? Really. The light displays on some of these numbers can be seizure-inducing. (There's no scientific evidence to back this up as of yet, but as soon as there is, I'll be sure to let you know.) And the photos/graphics on the stage's back wall are more often than not treacly and superfluous. Worst of all, they make the edges of the dancers' faces blur when we get close-up shots against the back drops.
OK. Now that my rant is out of the way, we can discuss last night, which was another excellent display of most of the contestants' talents. All six couples had to dance two numbers to prove themselves worthy of the almighty Top 10 — the group of dancers who get to go on tour after the season ends.
Also, this was the last episode in which our couples stay together. Next week, they won't only be picking their dance genres out of a hat — they'll be picking their partners, too.
Ryan di Lello and Ellenore Scott first danced the Lindy Hop, choreographed by newcomer Carla Heiney, which was a great throw-back to the swinging '50s style. The judges — especially producer Nigel Lythgoe, who gets nostalgic for the older genres — loved it. Next, the pair danced a Broadway piece by Spencer Liff, which was much more engaging. Ellenore played the innocent whom Ryan, as the tempter with wealth and fame as his bribe, tried to corrupt. The routine was gorgeous and the dancers both performed beautifully. The judges fawned over Ellenore a bit more than Ryan.
Sonya Tayeh choreographed Kathryn McCormick and Legacy Perez in a fabulous jazz number that especially played to Legacy's b-boy strengths. Kathryn, who has a bright-shining-eyes quality that makes her super endearing, shined in this piece too. Next, they danced a Viennese Waltz created by Jean-Marc Généreux, in which Legacy, though he was really emotional (he even cried toward the end, and through the critique) simply did not master the ballroom lines needed to carry it off. However, Kathryn seemed to pull him through, and they will likely be safe tonight. Like the judges, I'll miss these two together. They seem to balance each other out perfectly.
Karen Hauer and Victor Smalley did a great job with the Tango they were handed by Tony Meredith and Melanie LaPatin, however, their hip hop routine (choreographed by Laurieann Gibson) fell flat. Though I was somewhat apathetic toward the beginning of the season, I am decidedly not a fan of Karen. She does do "smoldering" very well, but it's not enough to engage me. I wouldn't be heartbroken if she were to be the girl who left tonight. Victor can go too, simply because I like all the other boys more.
Mollee Gray and Nathan Trasoras had an interesting evening. First, they were given a hip hop piece by Jamal Sims about the invention of the telephone, in which Nathan played the role of Alexander Graham Bell (I know … what?) But this piece somehow worked for them. And by them, I mean Nathan. He was cute and charming, but Mollee seemed a little too lost in the shuffle for my taste. She apparently had an ankle injury this week, though, so she could have just had an off night. The pair's second piece was none other than the can-can. You read that right: The can-can. Tyce Diorio worked up an adorable routine for them, which was appropriate, as this couple is pretty painfully adorable already. It turned out surprisingly well, but I could have done without the candy-striper costumes.
Tony Meredith and Melanie LaPatin created a Samba for Russell Ferguson and Noelle Marsh, who did what they could with it. Their hearts were in it, but their moves were a little all over the place. Noelle, while a great hip-shaker, looked semi-desperate, and Russell tried his best, but if they end up in the bottom three couples tonight, this Samba is the reason why. Their second piece, contemporary by Tyce, was beautiful. The story went something like this: The dancers, in white costumes, were painting their relationship through the dance. It got a bit too literal when they actually smeared handfuls of powdered paint over themselves, but that can be forgiven, as the rest of the routine was flawless.
Ashleigh di Lello and Jakob Karr are a powerhouse couple. I can see them both in the top four. They were lucky tonight in that they chose lyrical jazz with Sonya, and then a cha-cha from Jean-Marc Généreux, which is totally Ashleigh's style. Judge Adam Shankman declared them "the couple of the night," and he couldn't be more right.
My prediction for tonight's bottom three couples is: Karen and Victor; Noelle and Russell; and Mollee and Nathan.
Tonight's elimination episode will air at 8 PM.

Let $P$ be a poset with a maximal element $r$, i.e. an element $r\in P$ such that $r\geq x$ for all $x\in P$. One can think of the poset as a tree with root $r$.
I want to show that there exists a ''smallest maximal element'', i.e. an element $m\in P$ such that $m\geq x$ for all $x\in P$ and if $m'$ is another element with that property then $m'\geq m$. This is somehow the first element where the tree branches.
All looks much like Zorn's lemma but I don't see how it can be helpful. How can I proof the proposition?

beneficial aspects of bats make them enjoyable to have around. Bats may be
encouraged to take up residence in an area if bat houses are provided.
This practice, similar to that of putting up bluebird boxes, provides
roosting sites for bats.
2 shows a plan for a bat house that is easy to construct. Be sure that the
crevice widths for the bats are 3/4
inch wide. Use rough lumber so the bats can climb out easily. Use rough
lumber or staple plastic mesh to interior surfaces to provide secure
footing for the bats. Exterior-grade plywood is best for the front, back,
and partitions, and solid wood is best for the sides and roof. Bat houses
should be at least 16 inches wide and 30 inches tall.
finished box should be placed in a sunny area about 12 to 15 feet off the
ground. The side of a building or a pole makes a good site. Placing the
bat box within 1/4 mile of
an open, permanent water source such as a pond or river increases the
chance of occupation. Areas with high insect populations, a mixture of
natural vegetation and agriculture, and areas where bats are already
attempting to live in buildings are also good bat house locations.

Misconception Exists
That Bats Can Not Be Removed
When Discovered In Human Structures Including Attics.
It's that time of
the year again when many Georgians discover small, secretive visitors
sharing their homes. These visitors prefer to be left alone in the attic
or other warm, confined space during the day, and then emerge at night to
earn their keep by consuming vast quantities of flying insects. Despite
their skills at controlling insects, bats are still not always welcomed by
their human landlords. Bats can present problems, but the fact is that
much of the fear they instill is excessive, unjustified, and based largely
upon misinformation.
One persistent
falsehood is that bats are protected by laws such as the federal
Endangered Species Act and can't be legally removed from an attic. State
and federal biologists say that this just is not so, and that nuisance
problems with bats can be resolved safely.
"Many people
despise bats because they perceive these animals to be dangerous carriers
of disease," says Jim Ozier, a senior wildlife biologist for the Georgia
Department of Natural Resources—Wildlife Resources Division. "While bats
can transmit rabies to people, such incidences are extremely rare. Most
bat bites are a result of an obviously sick bat being handled."
As with most
wildlife species in Georgia, bats are protected by state law. It is
illegal to intentionally capture, kill, or harm any of the sixteen species
found in the state. Most species roost in caves and trees, but a few
species have adapted to using human structures for shelter. The Georgia
Department of Natural Resources allows removal of these bat colonies on a
case-by-case basis, usually with little expense to the homeowner and no
harm to the bats.
As for federal
law, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Field Supervisor, Sandy Tucker, says
that the Endangered Species Act does not apply in most situations
involving humans and bats in Georgia. Tucker, head of the USFWS Georgia
Ecological Services office, says that only two bat species found in
Georgia are protected under the Endangered Species Act, the gray bat and
Indiana bat. These live in either cave-like or upland forest habitats in
the northwestern part of Georgia, and neither favor human dwellings.
Even if a federally protected bat species were involved, Tucker says;
"There's flexibility under the Endangered Species Act that gives choices
when conflicts occur between human health and listed species."
As for removing
bat colonies from homes, the three species usually found in human
structures are the evening bat, big brown or the Mexican free-tailed bat.
Their colonies can be excluded from structures by sealing openings and
using temporary excluder devices that allow bats to fly out in the evening
to feed, but prevent their return to the attic.
Excluders can be
built by tacking a sheet of plastic or netting across the top of the
entrance hole, down along each side two feet past the hole and then left
unattached at the bottom. In a few days when all the bats are gone, remove
the excluder, and seal the hole. Many people install their own excluders,
but a list of certified professionals can be obtained by contacting DNR's
Special Permits Office at 770 761-3044.
The best time to
install an excluder is during the spring prior to May 1st or in the fall
after August 15th. During the summer, flightless infant bats might be
present, and these would die once the adults are excluded. If bats are
getting into someone's living space or otherwise presenting a health
hazard, they can be excluded at any time.
In fact, Ozier
says that people should act quickly if bats are discovered in a building
where they are not wanted. "The longer the bats are allowed to use the
site, the larger their numbers are likely to grow and the more guano that
will be deposited inside."
Guano, or bat
excrement, sometimes accumulates at a roost site and can cause structural
damage to the building. Additionally, a fungus sometimes grows on the
droppings. If large quantities of fungal spores are inhaled, a lung
infection known as histoplasmosis can result.
should also seek technical advice from qualified sources before attempting
to handle bat exclusions themselves. If they hire someone to do the job,
they should make sure the person is qualified, permitted and aware of
proper exclusion techniques.
Bats are
undoubtedly one of the most under-appreciated animals that contribute to
our diverse natural heritage. They are the only mammals that can truly
fly, and though they somewhat resemble mice, they are not closely related
to rodents and do not gnaw. The bats in Georgia aid humans by eating as
much as half their weight each day in mosquitoes, beetles, moths and other
insects. A single little brown bat can alone catch up to 1,200 insects in
just one hour.
Many people
install specially designed roosting structures, known as bat boxes, which
give bats a home away from human homes. If the bats find the roost box
suitable, they remain in the area to continue their insect assault.
"Bats are a
valued and economically important component of our natural heritage. We
should strive to conserve habitat and develop a greater appreciation for
bats and other wildlife," concludes Ozier. "However, there are times when
bats seek shelter in places where they cannot be tolerated. These
situations should be handled sensibly and responsibly to prevent harm to
the people and the bats involved."

Bon Secours Gives Away Two Lap-Band® Weight Loss Procedures in Effort to Raise Awareness of Obesity Epidemic
Young mother hopes procedure will allow her to donate a kidney to her infant child
RICHMOND, Va. (Jan. 25, 2011) – The Bon Secours Center for Bariatric Excellence today announced the recipients of two free Lap-Band® Weight Loss Procedures. Sarah Steele, a self-employed hair stylist, and John Greene a programmer and Hanover County volunteer firefighter will receive free Lap-Band® procedures. Steele will receive her surgery on Friday, Jan. 28.
The 36-year-old Steele's surgery may also save the life of her child. Steele, who is 4'11" and weighs 208 pounds, is hoping to end her life-long struggle with weight and get healthy enough to donate a kidney to her infant son. Greene, a Chesterfield resident and Hanover County volunteer firefighter, is 5'10" and weighs 323 pounds. Greene is hoping to rescue himself from obesity and all its complications, including sleeplessness.
"Obesity has become an epidemic in our country, and is the cause of many diseases, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease," said Kathy A. Santini, vice president for surgical services at Bon Secours. While some people can successfully lose weight on their own, for some it's very difficult to lose the weight and keep it off long-term. Our goal is to raise awareness in the community and to let those who are struggling with significant long-term weight loss know that there is hope."
Last fall, in an effort to demonstrate the importance of lifestyle and healthy weight, the Bon Secours Center for Bariatric Excellence (richmond.bonsecours.com/weightloss) offered two free Lap-Band® weight-loss surgeries to people in the Richmond metropolitan area.
"It is important to build awareness around the effect obesity has on health, life expectancy and many disease processes. Often times this surgery can mean the difference between life and death for patients," said Gregory Schroder, MD, a Bon Secours bariatric surgeon. "We are thrilled to help Sarah and John achieve their goals of living healthier and happier lives, and we are grateful to them for sharing their stories."
The selection process included an application evaluation by a physician panel, a nutritional consult for the patient and personal interviews. Patients were selected for the free procedures based on physical, emotional and financial need. Bon Secours will absorb the cost of the Lap-Band® procedure including a one year follow up and surgical adjustments, which amounts to $16,000 per surgery. Prospective surgical candidates were required to have a body mass index (BMI) of 35 and to be 100 pounds or more overweight to register for the give-away (Lap-Band® patients generally weigh between 250 and 350 pounds). Applicants not selected will receive assistance with assessments and insurance needs to bring them a step closer to weight loss.
The Lap-Band® reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold at one time, helping patients to gradually lose weight and keep it off, ultimately living a healthier life. The average Lap-Band® patient can expect to lose up to 45 percent of excess body weight in the first year after surgery. The expectation for the second year is 50 percent, and 55 percent in the third year, if prescribed diet and exercise are followed and regular physician visits take place.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity is the number one cause of hypertension, osteoarthritis, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease and a variety of cancers, including pancreatic, kidney, prostate, colon, breast and endometrial. National research shows that weight-loss surgery resulted in an overall reduction of mortality by 60 percent, diabetes by 92 percent, heart disease by 56 percent and cancer by 60 percent.*
Virginia statistics show that 61.9 percent of Virginians are obese, 36.6 percent are overweight and 50 percent of Virginians do not meet the minimum requirement for moderate physical activity.**
The Bon Secours Bariatric Surgery Center for Excellence is located at St. Mary's Hospital. Bariatric surgeons at St. Mary's performed more than 2,300 Lap band surgeries over the past six years.

It's June 18, 1815, and a third of a million guys are about to slug it out on the battlefields of Waterloo, about 10 miles south of Brussels. One one side, Napoleon Bonaparte – back from exile on the island of Elba – is betting the farm that his French Grande Armée can defeat the Anglo-allied forces led by the British Duke of Wellington.
Bugles blare, troops charge, muskets blast, swords slash, cannons roar...and Napoleon's army is cut to bits.
His defeat ended 26 years of constant turmoil among Europe's major powers, ignited mostly by Napoleon. England, Prussia, Austria and the other biggies thought they were finally rid of "the Little Corporal" when his Russian invasion flopped in 1812. After that, Napoleon abdicated the French throne and ended up on Elbe...but he escaped, and 100 days later turned up at Waterloo.
The main battle pitted Napoleon's 125,000 nattily dressed cuirassiers, chevau-legers, and grenadiers against Wellington's coalition of 210,000 troops mostly waiving the Union Jack of Great Britain, the Dutch tricolors and the mean-looking black eagle of Prussia.
In the final hours of the fight, Wellington's forces were dug in atop the steep slopes of Mont-Saint-Jean, and Napoleon couldn't get them to budge. Suddenly, Prussian troops broke through Napoleon's right flank, and then the rest of Wellington's army counterattacked to win the day, and the war.
Beaten, what was left of the Grande Armée went limping back to France. Later on, Napoleon was exiled to St. Helena, where he died in 1821.
History lovers won't want to miss a replay of this granddaddy of all European battles during its bicentennial celebration, set for June 17-21, 2015. Among highlights of the five-day program, more than 5,000 colorfully uniformed "soldiers" and 100 cannons will blast and slash away at each other during two big battle reenactments.
