Government shutdown protest in Rutland todayOctober 10,2013Members of a federal employee union are forming a picket line in downtown Rutland today to protest the ongoing government shutdown.
Ten days into a shutdown brought about by a failure in Washington to agree on a new budget, members of the American Federation of Government Employees local plan to gather at 11:45 a.m. in front of the Social Security Administration office located in the Asa Bloomer Building on Merchants Row.
Protest organizers say the event is designed to urge Congress to pass a continuing resolution that will allow vital government programs and services to restart.
We need Congress to do what they were elected to do and pass a budget that allows the federal government to function. Debates over increasing the debt ceiling and implementing the Affordable Care Act should not jeopardize federal programs and services upon which millions of Americans depend, wrote Gail Earley-Renaud, vice president of the union chapter which represents federal employees in Vermont, Maine and New Hampshire.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

I just setup WP 1.2 and things seemed to be working fine until I started checking my RSS feeds. For some reason even though I'm using what I believe is the correct html tags for links they aren't showing up on my RSS feeds. They show up just fine when using the website, but getting them by RSS hasn't worked yet.
I'm quite frustrated and an admitted noob, so any help anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.

What is Natural Gas Used for in Residential Homes?
Natural gas is a popular energy source for many residential homeowners. This type of fuel can be used for cooking, heating homes, fireplaces, and even heating water. Many people prefer natural gas because it is a very efficient source of heat, and often costs significantly less than it does to generate electricity. However, your home has to be set up properly for natural gas in order for you to use it.
Are There Any Safety Hazards That Apply to Methane or Natural Gas?
There are precautions that must be taken if you choose to run gas lines through your home. Any time you are dealing with natural gases like methane, butane, and propane, you must take safety precautions. First of all, gas leaks can lead to fires and health conditions. It is imperative to always make certain that gas lines and stoves are properly sealed and turned off when not in use. Also, you should make certain that no children or pets are playing near gas lines and sources.
How Can I Get Natural Gas and Use it in My Home?
First of all, you will need to contact your local gas company. A professional will have to come to your home, and see if it is set up for this type of fuel source. If your home is not natural gas-ready, fuel lines and tanks will need to be installed. The cost of this process varies depending on your city or location.

This is a Must See! Hard to imagine how huge it is with over 1450 rooms and over 1500 staff that they used to have. Also the Gardens are massive.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
Positives - excellent location for visiting the Palace.
Negatives - Very poor value for money. Like many typical 4 star business hotels you get very little for your money and the hotel want to extract every last euro from you. But I have never stayed in a place that makes you buy milk for your coffee.
We have been travelling Europe for over a month and this hotel is the biggest rip off. Even in guesthouses a third of the cot you will find free wifi, and often a simple breakfast included.
Reccomend staying elsewhere and get a taxi ti the Palace with the money you save.

Monterey Pass Civil War Battlefield preservation work advancesBreaking News
Less than a year after officially organizing, the Friends of Monterey Pass Battlefield Inc. have seen significant progress toward the preservation of the only Civil War battle site on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line.
In December, the Cantwell site near the intersection of Buchanan Trail East and Charmian Road in Blue Ridge Summit was purchased by Washington Township and will be overseen by the Friends as they preserve the land and history.
The property
The nearly 1-acre property was purchased from Mary Rae Cantwell.
"Mary Rae was the first driving force behind Monterey," said Alicia Miller, chairman of FMPB. "Her dream was always to see the preservation of the battlefield and she was very pleased and happy when we had the opportunity to purchase the land."
Since the official purchase on Dec. 8, a mobile home was torn down, leaving behind a landscape that will eventually include a parking lot and an interpretive center....

Second Global Forum on the Power of Peace
Bangkok, Thailand : 28-30 October 2009. UNESCO, in collaboration with the Government of Thailand, is organizing the Second Global Forum on the Power of Peace, which will be a timely occasion to build on past discussions commencing with the first Forum on the power of Peace held in Bali, Indonesia in January 2007.
The Forum will review some of the work, discussion and planning that has transpired since the first Forum. Strategies for the continued development of "The Power of Peace Network" (PPN) will be the subject of Café styled deliberations of Forum participants. The Power of Peace Network web-portal will be launched at the Bangkok Forum.
Within the context of difficult economic times and rapidly changing social realities, the place and efficacy of a Power of Peace Network can be reassessed. Dr. Abdul Waheed Khan, UNESCO's Assistant Director General for Communication and Information, will officiate and open the Forum along with a representative of the host country and special guests.
PPN will be discussed in the framework of Forum themes touching on the role of media and ICTs relating to mutual understanding, conflict management, new opportunities for collaboration, faith and religion, and the leadership of youth and universities.
Building on the "Spirit of Bali" Declaration, this Forum seeks practical programmes and solutions to using the modern tools of information and communication for mutual understanding and peace.
Please consult the Bangkok Forum website for background documents, concept papers, and more.

Savory Cheesy Cornbread Waffles (Gluten Free or Not, your choice)
Both of my daughters have picked up the cooking bug. L particularly enjoys baking, perfecting recipes and making birthday cakes for friends. J is very experimental with her cooking. She has recently been on a chia pudding bender and has been known to make outrageous (I'm not a huge fan) microwave mug cakes. Both girls have started some sort of baking/culinary club at school and scour the web for interesting recipes on the vast number of cooking blogs.
Neither of their schools offer cooking as an elective and neither really has a kitchen that can be used at school. They resort to bringing in baked goods and trying them out on friends and club members. Nonetheless, both have figured out ways to cook at school without a kitchen. One way is microwave mug cakes. Another is to bring in waffle irons and make waffles at school. I think their efforts are pretty ingenious.
J was supposed to have a waffle event at school a while back (I am the club "advisor") with her club. But the other students forgot their waffle irons or didn't get her email and the event needs to be postponed. In the meantime, this got me considering the waffle. I started thinking outside of the box and did a quick search for "savory waffles" on the web. As a lover of cornbread, I added that to the search criterion, too. There is a plethora out there, but I came up with my own combination that I tried out in our very old, $10 waffle iron. It is sort of a small waffle iron that is a happy medium between a standard waffle and a Belgian style waffle. I'm used to it. It works. I wish I had a second one. In fact, with all these fancy waffle irons that you flip over to get the best rise on the waffle, I've started turning my little machine over while it is baking away. It isn't that I'm too cheap to buy a new one, well maybe it is, but I really like the one I've got.
What would you serve with these? Eggs and bacon, for sure. Side dish for chicken, absolutely. With chili, ribs, or any other dish that goes with cornbread, yup. Plain, right off the waffle iron….oh, yeah.
They are super easy and, actually, I used gluten free flour in the test batch, but suspect that regular flour would be absolutely fine.
Savory Gluten-Free Cheesy Cornbread Waffles
(can substitute regular flour!)
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup Jeanne's GF Flour Mix
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. paprika
1/8 tsp. cayenne
1/4 tsp. herbs de provence, optional (or fresh herbs added with the cheddar)
3 tbsp. melted butter
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese, plus more for sprinkling on top for cheesy crust
optional: sliced scallions
Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Combine liquid ingredients in a bowl. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients and mix thoroughly. Add 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese and mix in. The batter is pretty liquid.
Let mixture rest 10 minutes. You can also make this ahead and refrigerate it.
Preheat a non-stick waffle iron. Pour batter into the waffle iron, not too full (no specific amounts here – each iron is different) and sprinkle some cheese on top of the batter. Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturers directions, until the steam has died down (4-5 minutes) and the waffle is golden and crisp. Remove and serve.

The National Atomic Testing Museum in Paradise, Nevada, documents the history of nuclear testing at the Nevada Test Site in the desert north of Las Vegas. The museum operates as an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution. Although I thought that my husband would enjoy this far more than myself, I was wrong! The museum is well laid out with many artifacts, the staff very knowledgeable....we were there for ages. Amazing to see how the world has changed over the decades. Highly recommend this while you are in Vegas.

Skip to comments.IRS Sued for Lax Response to Church Politicking
Posted on 11/17/2012 6:37:21 AM PST by daniel1212
The Freedom From Religion Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service over its lax response to church politicking.
The group argues that the tax agency is violating the Constitution by allowing tax-exempt churches and religious organizations to get involved in political campaigns.
The suit points to several examples, including a full page newspaper ad by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
The ad, which showed a photo of Rev. Billy Graham, urged Americans to vote along biblical principles.
The 94-year-old evangelist also met with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in October and promised to do all he could to help him win the election.
The lawsuit argues that the IRS is giving preferential treatment to religious groups over other tax- exempt organizations.
The guys bringing suit will get tossed due to lack of standing.
If the suit goes forward, can it be converted to a class action without the original suitor's cooperation?
If so, go after the churches Dems work with, speak at, and have vocal preachers.
Isn't the exemption based on actual church services with a pastor or priest actually speaking pro/con about political issues from the pulpit? Where does a newspaper article or op ed fit into that?
What about 'Congress shall make no law' is hard to understand. Government cannot express an opinion about an ecclesiastical issue, even if that issue pertains to a matter in the public square and before the body politic.
For example: One of the Ten Commandments forbids coveting. Another forbids theft. When a candidate proposes to "spread the wealth around" and even to coerce all citizens to live at the expense of every other citizen, that is a political issue that touches on an ecclesiastical one: sin.
Pastors have every obligation to point out that socialist political policies are based on violation of the Commandments that forbid coveting and theft. Sadly, not only do too few pastors care to do so, too many have allowed such candidates to speak to the congregations from behind the very pulpit was supposed to be dedicated to preaching the implications of those very Commandments.
The Democrats could always be counted on to keep it in place ~ but more recently with a black man in as President that old fire to prohibit political talk in church has rather died away.
Obama has some hard earned Trinity Church of Christ street cred to stick to in this one so IRS has simply ignored third-party complaints the last 3.8 years!
The first amendment says Congress can't pass laws that restrict religion, so presumably the law that allowed this is unconstitutional, or it's simply been misunderstood.
At POD and USPS the folks in Mail Classification found no problem sticking to the earlier pre-LBJ, pre-501(c)3 standards regarding religion ~ it's just IRS that had a problem, and a couple of well directed firings or flensings would have done the job just as well as putting a black guy in as President.
I'll believe they are serious about this kind of thing when they start going after the black churches and their "souls to the polls" drives.
Never understood why houses of worship do not have same tax obligations as everyone else.
Well maybe, But look at the left, no moss under their feet! Just days after an election and they are already getting their ducks in a row for the next one.
They never stop.
The Left does not want to open that can of worms. Black churches are nothing but branch offices of the DNC.
If churches didn't covet this tax except status they wouldn't have to worry about what they say.
The status is a way for the federal government to control them.
Perhaps all you see are the mega-churches. Most churches operate on a shoestring budget. Regardless of your views on religion, churches are some of the last truly private charitable organizations attempting to hold communities together.
We see what happens to a religious group when they get involved with government in any way. State churches in Europe are basically dead. Roman Catholic churches here are feeling the heavy hand of government in their schools and hospitals.
If a church has received any form of government assistance then they have made a deal with the devil.
Additionally, the tradition of churches not paying taxes was implemented by Emperor Constantine when he hijacked Christianity and declared himself pope. The pagan temples didn't pay taxes at that time so the same privilege was offered to the Christian churches.
I have no problem with churches paying taxes especially if they have taken my money. "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's"
The devout militant evangelical atheists are at it again.
I see the restrictions as wrong, and passed before we had the watchman ministries of today.
1,500 ministers to preach on politics (http://www.wnd.com/2012/10/1500-ministers-to-preach-on-politics)
The number of pastors standing up for their right to preach from their pulpits on politics is surging.
They call a ban on such speech a cultural myth.
In 2008, 35 pastors defied the IRS, which holds the position that church organizations are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office.
The number of pastors boldly opposing the IRS rule grew to 539 in 2011 and is expected to be more than 1,500 on Oct. 7, during what organizers are calling Pulpit Freedom Sunday.
The pastors find support and instructions on participating at pulpitfreedom.org, and they are backed by a legal team at the Alliance Defending Freedom.
While WND was told no church ever has lost its tax-exempt status over such issues, the circumstances of such cases vary widely. There was a case handled by the American Center for Law and Justice in 2000 where Branch Ministries of Binghamton, N.Y., had its tax-exempt status withdrawn after church officials bought full-page newspaper ads blasting Bill Clinton.
The decision was affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.
The ACLJ said, The ACLJ believes that this campaigning ban impermissibly infringes on the First Amendment rights of churches, but added, It is nevertheless the current law. Consequently, churches desiring to keep their tax-exempt status must stringently adhere to it.
Americans United for Separation of Church and State says it has sent 60,000 letters to churches in an effort to tell pastors that the law requires them to stay out of politics.
The groups position is that churches are only tax-exempt because of the 501(c)3 provision in the tax code, which has been revoked at least once since 1954.
That was the year Democratic Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson inserted language into a tax bill designed to restrict outspoken political opponents from using their nonprofits to campaign against him. Known as the Johnson Amendment, it enabled the IRS to become a watchdog of Americas church pulpits.
Any activity designed to influence the outcome of a partisan election can be construed as intervention, the Americans United letter declares. If the IRS determines that your house of worship has engaged in unlawful intervention, it can revoke the institutions tax-exempt status or levy significant fines on the house of worship or its leaders.
The letter then recalls, In 1995, the IRS revoked the tax-exempt status of a Binghamton, N.Y., church for buying a full-page ad in USA Today opposing a 1992 presidential candidate.
The Alliance Defending Freedom contends the AU letter is misleading and disingenuous, explaining that the church in New York had its determination letter revoked, not its tax exempt status. The distinction is crucial, ADF told WND, because there was basically no effect on the church from this IRS action.
Erik Stanley, senior legal counsel for Americans Defending Freedom, told WND that churches dont need a determination letter from the IRS to be considered tax-exempt.
IRS section 508(c)1 (a) automatically exempts churches, and no advance determination letter is necessary, he explained.
The amount that churches are giving overseas in goods and services to developing (Third World) countries amounts to $8.8 billion. This figures out to be nearly 40 percent of the foreign aid provided by the United States to the same region. U.S. foreign aid to those same countries is $23.5 billion. Carol Adelman of the Hudson Institute, from Notre Dame University study.
On average, weekly churchgoers donate 3.8% of their income to charity, compared to 0.8% for those who never go. Independent Sector (charitable clearing house): Atheists won't save Europe by Don Feder; http://www.frontpagemagazine.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=27937

Indeed. As if the Founders were atheist and or against general affirmations of the basic Christian faith, and as if the 1st Amendment was applied to all the States from the beginning.
It began before that, as the Levites did not have tax nor tithe, nor the Egyptian priests in Josephs time i think. But accepting State support with its strings is a problem, and the church is supposed be supported by its own (and not be gambling):
"Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the Gentiles. We therefore ought to receive such, that we might be fellowhelpers to the truth. " (3 John 7-8)
Freedom from Religion Foundation? How stupid is that? Who funds this stupidity? We are all spiritual creatures. Someone wants freedom from being a spiritual creature? I certainly hope FFRF is taxed at the highest possible rate.
Here in Grand Rapids, the ACLU is headquartered inside the Fountain Street 'Church'. No lawsuits by the Freedom from Religion foundation are expected. Thanks daniel1212.
Where in the Constitution does it say that churches are tax exempt? What Bible verse explains this exemption? Churches devoting resources to watch government regulation?
If a church devotes this amount of time and resources towards the preservation of money then it's heart is not in the right place. A Christian church is the assembly of it's members with Jesus as it's head. It's not about buildings and wealth. Money is of the world yet "churches" covet it more than salvation.
Money is created by man and not surprisingly he wants it back. Give it to him. Why should you care?
The ACLU says voting in Michigan is too hard.
ACLU: Long lines at Grand Rapids polls mean people must choose between voting or their paychecks
BTW, I'm not trying to be combative brother. I re-read my posts and my passion on this subject shows through.
I know for sure that there were churches in Ohio that talked about voting for Obama and had voting pamphlets in their hallway telling people how to vote.
They aren't going to do this. There are hundreds more black/liberal churches pushing a "candidate." Evangelicals are afraid of getting in trouble.
Billy Graham urging voters to vote along the lines of their biblical principles is speech. And, it clearly is not an endorsement.
And, if really doesn't matter. The only thing the IRS can do is tell people their giving to Church of the XYZ isn't a legitimate deduction from their taxes. So, for those whose deductions make it better for them to itemize, this deduction will then make about a 10-15% difference of the amount donated in their taxable income. So, basically, a guy who gave is at 72300 income and gave 2000 to his church might have his taxable income reduced by 300 bucks down to 72000 before the tax is assessed.
Big Whoop!
Go ahead and speak for that paltry bit of cash.
none of that means the Commissioner of Revenue shouldn't be flensed, but he probably ought to go to Congress and ask for permanent exclusion of IRS from church affairs, even if they are UBIT related.
The Levites didn't pay tithe because they maintained the temple. They were not allowed to own or farm land or raise livestock as the other tribes could. They lived off of the remains of the sacrifice or they had to purchase supplies.
Where in the constitution does it say ANYONE is taxed.
The Godless atheist supremacists in Obama's corner are mad. Their guy won and they are still angry.
Bet there number was among the ranks of Democrats who kept saying "NO (HELL) NO!" at the 2012 DNC convention when the party bosses tried to hastily put in support for God and Israel in the party platform.
These issues require a deeper consideration that you express by your protests.
The Constitution does not say that churches and non profits are tax exempt, nor that they must be taxed, but allows the gov. freedom to do either (and even give money to them), and the contention is not that churches must be tax exempt, but that they must waive the normal 1st Amendment freedom if they choose to be approved as tax exempt.
As for what what Bible verse explains this exemption, that has been answered. Those who dedicate themselves to the Lord's service without pay were absolved from paying support for the service they were already laboring in. (Dt. 26:11,12)
And even in pagan Egypt, the priests were not required to pay the tax levied on the rest (Genesis 47:26)
Yet while supported in principle, it is not mandated in Scripture, and the Lord paid taxes even though it was unjust. (Mt. 17:24-27)
But like as seen in Scripture, the gov. can choose to recognize non profits as paying their "taxes" to society by voluntary service, and absolved them from taxes so that they may increase their mission. And as such, or at least churches, usually more efficient than the government, and whose work they alleviate, then taxpayers should favor this, and churches can indirectly work to provide a more stable society by bringing souls to be controlled from within, so they need nor be controlled from without.
Moreover, churches are made up of tax payers.
In addition, while a church is essentially "not about buildings and wealth," the fact is that practically such things, from food to clothes to buildings and the money that buys them, are used in its work and expression of love.
Thus, as we seek to be good stewards of the manifold grace of God, so we should be intent on seeing our funds be to put to the best use, and if freedom from taxes is offered, so it can be accepted.
And while many non profits (not just churches) abuse their status, that does not negate the authenticity of the rest, but can show a need for reform such as to what a non profit is .
Whether non profits can be prohibited from political involvement is the real issue, as is the sometimes one sided application of that rule.
Either way, we all KNOW black and "hispanic" churches won't be targeted in this lawsuit.
If you read the 16th amendment it authorizes the income tax. The federal government is not allowed to tax direct asset like property. Only States are allowed property taxes.

Thanx did not know that
Sorry for the triple post. Not taxing churches has more to do with tradition than law. Man makes the law, makes the money, and collects taxes. These are the ways of the world and shouldn't concern us. If Washington's face is on the dollar then we should give it to Washington.
I am a member of the American Legion. A non-profit organization that doesn't have a paid member in the entire organization, yet we are taxed on property along with any income we receive for the rental of the hall. All of our members pay taxes. We operate on a shoestring budget yet we are able to serve our community.
I see 100 million dollar churches being built in my area not blocks from 100 million dollar churches. Pastors driving new Cadillacs.
The church is its members, not how much money they make or spend.
Sorry, but I have to respectfully disagree.
No problem. Actually congress can get around the direct tax by labeling your property as income.
The time for listening to these shlubs is over. It's time to tell them to just go find a hole and climb into it.

L.A. Agrees to Limit Medical-Marijuana Dispensaries
The Los Angeles City Council agreed Tuesday to limit the number of medical-marijuana dispensaries in the city to 70, a move that could dramatically scale back the hundreds that have cropped up here. The council still must vote on the ordinance to regulate dispensaries, which is expected to include a host of other restrictions.
When the state passed a law allowing for medical-marijuana cooperatives in 2004, Los Angeles never set forth guidelines for how they should operate. That led to the rampant growth of dispensaries: The number in the city is estimated at 1,000, making medical marijuana one of the city's fastest-growing industries.
As more dispensaries opened, police, city officials and residents complained that many were illegal cash businesses that had little to do with medical care. The city decided to crack down.
"Today we took the first step in regaining the trust of the residents of Los Angeles by protecting the integrity and safety of our communities while...offering medical marijuana to those who truly need it," Councilman José Huizar said in an emailed statement Tuesday evening.
The council also mandated a 1,000-foot buffer between medical dispensaries and residential-use areas. On Tuesday night, the council was still debating additional measures to regulate and restrict the locations and concentration of dispensaries. The council still must hold a final vote on the full ordinance once it has finished making changes to it.
Despite the cap, more than 70 dispensaries could be allowed to remain open if they meet the new guidelines. Tuesday night's decision gave preference to 137 dispensaries that had registered with the city early on. Those dispensaries would have 180 days to comply with the new regulations, but many of them are expected to close.
It was unclear Tuesday night when the new regulations would take effect.
Medical-marijuana advocates said they were against "arbitrary caps" on the number of dispensaries, but said the new regulations proved that it is possible to regulate medical marijuana on a large scale.
"This is a huge milestone. It definitely sends a message to the rest of the county that the second-largest city in the nation has recognized the need for legal distribution," said Kris Hermes, a spokesman for Americans for Safe Access, a medical-marijuana advocacy group.

BYU basketball report card: Cougars strategically overwhelmed by Bulldogs
When the Bulldogs are making shots like they were against BYU in the second half, however, they can play with anybody in college basketball.
Junior guard Kevin Pangos, who devastated the Cougars with 24 points on 9-of-14 shooting (6-of-10 on 3-pointers) and seven assists with zero turnovers, is a legit star and a confident leader.
Gonzaga has eight players averaging at least seven points per game while shooting 51.2 percent as a team, including 42.3 percent from behind the arc.
The Bulldogs are not going to be a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament like they were last season, but they just might advance further than the second round this time.
Against BYU Saturday night, Gonzaga was dominant in every aspect of the game except rebounding.

I love my Cougars, but I think coaching is a huge obstacle for the men's basketball and football teams. BYU has better coaching staffs in women's basketball, women's softball, and men and women's volleyball. The two main pilot sports are lacking in coaching while our less profitable sports continue to excel.

I would like to see a response from the BYU coaching staff to see if they agree with your point made in this aticle. If any credibility to it, ask them how they plan to become more like Gonzaga.

I wasn't surprised to see the Zags pull away at the end. After the 3OT game on Thursday, I was surprised the Cougars hung in as long as they did.

Definitely the coach's fault. I mean, I can't believe how he streaked
across the lane on three different occasions and then threw the ball directly
into the hands of a Gonzaga player. Oh, wait, that was Halford (twice) and Haws
(once). But I saw them practicing throwing the ball away and making stupid
decisions, so it must be the coaches.
With the players he recruits, Rose does amazingly well. The one area in which ALL BYU athletes seem to suffer is ego! They routinely take other teams lightly. Is that on the coach? Maybe, but I remember my high school coach trying to beat into our heads to take the upcoming homecoming game against the 2-5 team seriously.... to no avail. We lost. Very embarrassing.... but NOT the coach's fault.
I frankly more scrutiny should be placed on Haws. He is a really good player, but his shot selection often leaves MUCH to be desired.

I think this is the most accurate analysis of the basketball team that I have
read this year.
The defense is horrible and chaotic. The offense is pretty good but they don't always play well as a team. Rose and Pope are D-1 coaches but the other two need to move on. This team lacks discipline and their zone defensive scheme is fundamentally flawed. They can't decide how to defend the pick and roll and continually give up dribble penetration, which results in wide open threes. It comes down to either the coaches don't know what to do or the the players are incapable of carrying out an effective game plan. Maybe a little of both.

I have been using the ZipPackage-class in .NET for some time and I really like the simple and intuitive API it has. When reading from an entry I do entry.GetStream() and I read from this stream. When writing/updating an entry I do entry.GetStream(FileAccess.ReadWrite) and write to this stream. Very simple and useful because I can hand over the reading/writing to some other code not knowing where the Stream comes from originally.
Now since the ZipPackage-API doesn't contain support for entry properties such as LastModified etc I have been looking into other zip-api's such as DotNetZip. But I'm a bit confused over how to use it. For instance, when wanting to read from an entry I first have to extract the entire entry into a MemoryStream, seek to the beginning and hand-over this stream to my other code. And to write to an entry I have to input a stream that the ZipEntry itself can read from. This seem very backwards to me. Am I using this API in a wrong way?
Isn't it possible for the ZipEntry to deliver the file straight from the disk where it is stored and extract it as the reader reads it? Does it really need to be fully extracted into memory first? I'm no expert but it seems wrong to me.

Mammogram Guidelines for Women with Prior Radiation
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I received mantle radiation for Hodgkin's disease at the age of 26. I have been advised that radiation to the chest leads to an increased risk of breast cancer in patients treated under the age of 30. However, there seems to be some controversy over when female patients treated with mantle radiation should begin mammography screening. Some sources state five years while others state 10 years? What are the practice guidelines? Thank you for your time.
Li Liu, MD, OncoLink editorial assistant, responds:
For women who never had radiation exposure, the American Cancer Society recommends screening mammogram every year starting at age 40. Between the ages of 20 and 39, women should have a clinical breast examination by a health professional every 3 years. After age 40, women should have a breast exam by a health professional every year. Women age 20 or older should perform breast self-examination (BSE) every month as well.
Radiation is a known risk factor for secondary breast cancer following treatment of Hodgkin's disease. The estimated actual incidence approaches 35% by 40 years of age (New England Journal of Medicine 1996; 334(12): 745-751). The risk in these patients seemed to rise at around 10 years after they received their radiation treatments. Age at irradiation is strongly associated with risk; the younger the age, the higher the risk. The risk of breast cancer also increases significantly with radiation dose and time since treatment (Journal of National Cancer Institute 1993; 85(1): 25-31).
The high risk of breast cancer in women exposed to radiation at a young age raises important issues regarding screening programs. The process of diagnosing breast cancers in two Hodgkin's disease series (Journal of Clinical Oncology 1994 Feb; 12(2): 312-25; Journal of National Cancer Institute 1993; 85(1): 25-31) illustrated that routine mammography alone has only limited value in this young patient group.
In 2007, the American Cancer Society made some changes to their screening guidelines to include MRI screening for women at high risk. The guidelines suggest that women who received radiation to the chest for Hodgkin's disease between the ages 10 and 30 should undergo annual MRI, in conjunction with mammogram, for 30 years after the radiation treatment. While studies have not looked at this group specifically, experts believe that MRI screening might offer a similar benefit to that seen in women with a strong family history.

I'm using AOL 9.1.
Does anyone know if it's possible to add WordPress and PodPress to my AOL web site space, so it can be accessible via a link in an AOL member profile?
AOL offers some web site space, which can be maintained anonymously via FTP. I've created such a web site, and there is a link for it in my AOL member profile.
So, I'm assuming I can upload WordPress to it, but before I try it, I'd like to know if anyone else has tried this, and if so, were there problems, or was it smooth sailing?
AOL might not offer enough web site space for WordPress. I'll have to see if it can upload there.
Thank you!

Let's say I have a payments table like so:
PaymentID INT, CustomerID INT, Value INT, PaidOn DATE
And I want to run a query for the maximum payment made by each customer. Is this possible using a single SQL query, to avoid having to dig through every row that I'm not interested -- or worse, run a query for each customer?
The best I have come up with so far is:
SELECT CustomerID, MAX(Value) FROM Payments GROUP BY CustomerID;
But this does not give me the PaymentId or PaidOn values for the rows it finds.
