There seems to be a distinct lack of 'traditional' names in football these days. Can you name a player who's name wouldn't have stood apart in the 1930's? I'll get the ball rolling...
Jack Wilshere
Bit harsh as half the names you mentioned are foreign John!
Frank Lampard.....Johnny Evans?
That's partly what I meant, but even some of our 'English' players don't have traditional names.
Like Phil Jagielka or Wilfried Zaha.ha ha ha ha ha
Tom Cleverly
James Milner
Jack Butland

Best Diets for Women: 8 Must-Eat Superfoods
Incorporating these powerfully nutritious items into your diet will do wonders for your health -- and your looks
Why? She explains. "While we have identified some of the substances contained in these foods, there are literally thousands of other substances we know [that] exist inside of these foods that have yet to be identified. It is hard to say if we've identified exactly the right components, or if the various components work in a synergistic fashion." So, basically, what's inside a blueberry that makes it so good for you may be more than just its antioxidant properties -- it may be something specific to the genetic makeup of the blueberry itself.
While we wait for the white coats to make sense of it all, we can benefit from what they already know -- that so-called "superfoods" are definitely good for you -- so why not eat them?

It's a good reminder. Skincare and makeup isn't enough if the dietary habits are poor. I, for some reason, don't need to be reminded about dark chocolate.

I already eat most of these. No diet, even the best diet, is enough to make you healthy. It has to be paired with exercise.

ere are so much easier healthier ways to get everything this article says we need. If you don't like fish or the fresh salmon is pricey, China seeds are great substitute for that as well as blueberries. Then in place of beans, which has not that much fiber and most people don't care forthem, you could use fiber 1 cereal which is great in yogurts or smoothies. Other are other cheaper/faster ways to get your antioxidants and then some. This article is so basic and it seems most people here are educated in that. Especially when Dr. Oz has a faithful following.

How to Draw a Woman's Pants Wardrobe
Don't forget the pants staple — jeans!
What woman doesn't own a pair of jeans? The range of styles goes from tighter-than-tight to baggy-beyond-belief. Skinny jeans are aptly named: They're tight and tapered down to the ankle. High-waisted, low-rise, and boyfriend jeans (which have few curves and often have some holes and a rolled-up cuff) are also well-named descriptions of hot styles for jeans.
The creative details make the differences in jeans. When you're drawing jeans, pay attention to the front fly opening, and be sure to include tons of topstitching.

David Lee Roth is expressing frustration with the lack of movement as far as new material in Van Halen.
He has also broken what has seemed to be a firm rule in Van Halen since he rejoined six years ago: He's talking publicly about former bassist Michael Anthony.
In an interview in Rolling Stone from his new home in Japan -- where Van Halen is scheduled to play this year -- Roth says he's waiting on guitarist Edward Van Halen.
"I'm not sure what's in Ed's mind at this point," Roth said. "Truth be told, Edward and I haven't written a new song in 20 years. I would certainly look forward to working with Ed on some new material, but we have yet to do that. Almost all of the music that you hear on our most recent album was written and demo-ed before the first album. And I would certainly look forward to writing a whole list of songs with Ed, but we haven't found the time to do that (laughs). You hear the tone. I'm not sure what's in Ed's mind at this point. I'm gonna guess that his plans are to write with his son, and I'm not sure where that actually leads."
Roth also expressed interest in taking Van Halen to festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza, something he said he's discussed with drummer Alex Van Halen. "There's nothing on the ticket as far as (touring past this summer), and that's a disappointment, frankly. How long have I been back with the gang? Maybe six years, we'll say and we have yet to travel to Europe, South America, Japan, anywhere outside of those basic 50 cities in the United States. And again that's been a disappointment. We have an audience and we have a potential future in many, many places, but our story is one of a whole lotta Shakespeare going on.
Roth also used the dreaded "M" word. As in, former bassist and backup singer supreme Michael Anthony, who was exiled from Van Halen years ago for keeping alive both a musical and personal relationship with former singer Sammy Hagar.
"We haven't really been able to speak about it and it's a disappointment, just as not having a chance for a reunion of the original band," Roth said. "Clearly, vocals are every bit as much a component of success as a rhythm section or a guitar solo, and there's an old expression saying, 'They don't go home singing the lighting show, they don't go home singing the production.' You're right, they sing my words and my melodies. And what we have at our fingertips is arguably one of the greatest high tenor voices ever — that was in Michael Anthony. In our tiny little corner of the universe, that voice is as identifiable as the high voice in Earth, Wind & Fire, as identifiable as the high voice in the Beach Boys. Van Halen is an indelicate house blend of both — that's intentionally. So I would always look forward to that reunion, and I would always look forward to writing a whole variety of material.
Roth said he's invited his bandmates to come work with him, though it's unclear whether that would include Anthony, who was replaced as Van Halen bassist by Edward's son Wolfgang.
"I've offered the fellows, come on out here to the land of the gods," he said. "And if you don't want to make it that far we'll make it halfway — Konishiki (his friend and former champion sumo wrestler) has said he'll lend me his house in Hawaii, Let's go woodshed. But so far there hasn't been any response, so hope and faith are not actual tactics and strategies — they're strippers from Albuquerque."

Steve Jobs possessed far more than simply an exacting eye for detail in the design of Apple (AAPL) products. He had the ability to conjure magic in those lines and curves and sleek Parisian fonts. The translucent glow of the Bondi blue iMac, the way the iPod practically begs to be caressed, the feather-light flick of a finger over the face of an iPad — these were Jobs' true gifts to the world.
Of course, Jobs had help from other magicians with exacting eyes in creating that wonderful whatever-it-was that he once said "makes our hearts sing."
"I don't recall Steve ever taking a pencil to paper and telling us 'Do it like this,'" said former Apple design guru Jerry Manock, who collaborated with Jobs on the original Macintosh computer. "Instead, he would encourage us to try different things, different aesthetic treatments to achieve the goal he had in the back of his mind. He'd say 'What are ten different ways to treat the bottom curve on this product? Come back and show me them tomorrow.' "
From his early days with the Macintosh, and then with the iMac and subsequent conga line of jaw-dropping consumer gadgets, Jobs' gospel was that good design is clean and simple, and it must enhance the customer's experience. Seeking what he would call "elegance" and "taste" in everything Apple did, his look-and-feel passion extended far beyond the product, encompassing packaging (a ritual to help the user connect with the thing right out of the box), advertising and even the Apple Store.
Jobs and his team weren't simply designing the gadget; they were designing an entire lifestyle to go along with it. In the process, he somehow seemed to know what consumers wanted before they knew it themselves.
"Steve had a way of making the rest of us see the world as he saw it," said Prasad Kaipa, a physicist who worked at Apple in the 1980s training its engineers. "He and his team would design not just for form and function, but for the underlying purpose of the thing. So even if you haven't exactly identified it, when you find it you realize 'Aha! This is exactly what I needed!' "
Medici for the tech age
While Jobs' name appears on many of the patents behind this tech wizardry, and his attention to minutiae is legendary, his design prowess was manifested more as the obsessive and sometimes dictatorial ringleader, the whiz-kid who pushed his people to both dream big and focus small.
Stanford University professor Barry Katz interviewed Jobs for a book he's writing about the history of Silicon Valley design. He said one former colleague described the Apple CEO as a sort of Lorenzo de Medici, the Florentine benefactor who nurtured Renaissance artists such as Leonardo da Vinci.
"Lorenzo wouldn't get an idea from Michelangelo and price it out," said Katz. "He would find the guys with the greatest talents and let them do what they do best. In the same way, Steve Jobs won't be remembered as a designer extraordinaire any more than Lorenzo de Medici will be remembered as a sculptor extraordinaire.
"But there was a single-mindedness and visionary quality to this guy that really defined Apple," said Katz. "And I think Jobs probably did more than any other single person to drive Silicon Valley's design phenomenon."
Longtime colleague and Silicon Valley marketing ace Regis McKenna said Jobs "had a lot more breadth than people think. He was well-read and had a great cultural sense of not only design but of music and literature. He'd come out with things that would shock people because they were expecting him to be nerdy."
Jobs' intuitive sense of design blossomed at Apple, say those who knew him. In many ways, it was not what Jobs did but what he didn't do that led to so many successes.
Scot Herbst, a product designer who did extensive work on Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ) touch-screen desktop computer, said Jobs' real genius was that "he exercised with a strong singular voice Apple's complete embrace of the use of restraint in design. By simplifying a gadget's buttons and downsizing a desktop's silhouette to make it appear smaller, Jobs' helped set Apple apart from "the rest of the consumer electronics world," which Herbst said is often riddled with "feature creep."
Fashionable gadgets
Collaborating closely with people such as Jonathan Ive, Apple's designer-in-chief and a legend in his own right, Jobs fostered an approach to product design that to futurist Paul Saffo evoked haute couture as much as high-tech.
"Before Steve, people didn't design computers, they made computers," said Saffo. "Steve turned them into fashion. His were the first to come in a color other than putty. And he made Apple's rate of innovation more like the pace of the fashion industry, where twice a year you'd come up with something new."
To Saffo, it was the iPod that truly captured Apple's design aesthetic. "You can tell when a device is really well-designed because it'll delight its user when it's turned off as much as when it's on," he said. "When the iPod is off, it looks like this magical water-washed rock, and you want to just hold it in your hand like a talisman."
Jobs would push his designers with a leadership style laced with both fatherly prodding and an intimidating arrogance. The result was products that weren't just electronic gizmos -- they were glimmering tools to help users create, explore and share.
"The hardware is the front door to the software and the services," said analyst Tim Bajarin with Creative Strategies. "And while the PC guys tend to create stuff that was clunky and inelegant, Apple took the approach that even though these devices needed to be functional, they also needed to be beautiful."

The forensics buddy cop drama "Rizzoli and Isles" (9 p.m., TNT, TV-14) enters its fourth season in domestic mode. The show opens with detective Jane Rizzoli (Angie Harmon) and her best friend, Dr. Maura Isles (Sasha Alexander), dressed in their pajamas in the kitchen, caring for an infant like doting married parents. Only the baby belongs (or so we suppose) to Rizzoli's not-so-organized brother, Tommy (Colin Egglesfield), and his on-again-off-again girlfriend, who just abandoned the baby on Rizzoli and Isles' doorstep. Whatever the circumstances, Rizzoli and Isles seem to be eager to raise the child as a family, or as part of some extended unit.
For the uninitiated, Rizzoli, played by the impossibly good-looking Harmon, is the tomboy of the couple — or rather, the pair. Isles is the intellectually snobbish clotheshorse, a total girly-girl. Much like Dr. Temperance Brennan on "Bones," Isles projects an academic detachment from ordinary life so she can better master mortuary science. When not discussing domestic issues, the banter between the two women often revolves around corpses or the gross stuff found inside them. Isles offers up her findings with a combination of pride and icy detachment; Rizzoli responds with wisecracks and an air of blue-collar practicality.
In tonight season's premiere, a cadaver betrays signs of a possible contagion, sparking a code-red. The women, as well as a hunky corpse-delivery guy, must retreat into a safe room, where they are required to shower in each other's company. The scene offers ample opportunities for the limber Harmon to exhibit her talent for physical comedy, and for the handsome stranger to show absolutely zero interest in the two women. What is he seeing, or not seeing?
Not to give too much away here, but a citywide plague is averted and a major crime is solved, all before we return to the baby and scenes of domestic tranquility, with Rizzoli and Isles making plans about future holidays, vacations and family milestones with the new bundle of joy.
The ambiguity of the Rizzoli and Isles' relationship is clearly intended and skillfully played out. They're like the Bert and Ernie of forensic detectives. The decision to keep things between them deliberately unlabeled is very much like the show itself, and perhaps its audience. It's decidedly, even audaciously, old school.

Purchasing an indie cd after a download is mutually beneficialmy money goes to the most deserving artists, and I have confidence in knowing that I own copies of the best music. Unfortunately I haven't had money lately (with graduating college and all..) to buy nearly as many cds as I want. Nonetheless, buying the cd feels like confirmation of being a fan. I think that perhaps most indie heads are more likely to have this sort of viewpoint than a Top 40 listener. I would not be surprised if downloads were actually helping indie artists and hurting majors.

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "2010/2011 NYE Run."
Now to the show. In Worcester, the band seemed to hold back a bit at times, and tonight would not be the case. Cites opener started a theme to the funk-rock fest that would continue throughout the show. A Driver in between MAze and Bathtub Gin may have been the only time the crowd had a chance to sit back and relax. Coming out of Bathtub was Fat MAn in the Bathtub, I love it. Probably my favorite song from the Little Feat Halloween Costume this year, so I was very pleased. Love Timber as well, and golgi and character zero to close set one is as fun as it gets. The ground was shaking at MSG during Character Zero.
My firend text me during the setbreak and said,"you must be pretty happy right now." Definitely was, but I told him that I wouldve lost it if they closed the first set with an antelope. Nonetheless, that set was as good as it gets. PA goes out during Camel Walk, but it does nothing to stop the raucous MSG crowd from having a good time.
Set Two continues the funk rock fest, and it got real hot. Tweezer opener contains that whole idea. What stood out to me in this set was the Theme>Axilla. The crowd really started to create the set list, and for someone with my point of view at this show it was clearly evident that Trey was carefully choosing songs that played to the crowds energy. My Friend, My Friend>Axilla was a good 10 raging minutes that made me go dizzy I was rocking so hard. The crowd pleaser Fluffhead continued to get us all off. This place was erupting, especially when Trey sings "Fluff came to New York." Boogie> 2001> Suzy contains more of that good funk-rock that capped off a killer set two.
Before the encore, I was praying that it wouldn't be a sleeping monkey>tweeprise, and I was still hoping that maybe they would play an antelope. So when I hear Trey play the first few notes of the encore, I LOST IT! ANTELOPE REALLY. Lets combine my favorite set closer with my favorite show closer, and this is officially my favorite encore that I have ever seen. Sorry Alpine 8/15/10, you had a nice four month run. Looking back at all 5 shows on this run, I still think this is the most complete show, however, if NYE set One was slightly better for me, I think that show could be looked back at as being better than the coveted NYE 95 show. NYE WAS SPECTACULAR!, but this show is very complete from beginning to end.
it just keeps getting better.
Second set... WOW blew me away. Tweezer opener was great, but the highlight for me, was Fluffhead>Boogie>2001. Fluffhead and 2001 were the two songs I wanted to hear the most, glad i got to hear them! Loved Axilla and Suzy was fun as well.
Damn I love Tweezer Reprise.
Great second show! Can't wait for my next one!
The jam really opened up on tracks like Maze, Gin, Timber, Tweezer, and Antelope. Best of 3.0 by far. Best show of the NYE run by far.Trey's playing was loose and fluid--filled with confidence.
Lots of organic band-led movement through the jam--Trey avoided the temptation to become a soloist. What can I say? I really really liked this show. Download it! Have fun with it! It is filled with many surprises.
great energy tonight!!! can't wait to see what they do tomorrow
I called the Tweezer-Light -Theme trio -
The band seemed much tighter than they did in Providence as well & much louder -Crowd energy was insane as always
Then came Set II. All songs were fun & very well played (loved the jamming in Tweezer & Light -- beautiful stuff). The highlight of the entire night for me was My Friend. Sure, no adventurous out-of-the-box stuff here, but the intro was as perfect as possible, & the ambient crushings of the first stage of the solo/jam was simply remarkable. And again, Page was simply stellar during Suzy. What a wonderful evening, even from the top row of the entire coliseum!
Second set highlight for certain was the tweezer jam.... specifically the quiet automated/robotic like section where they were in almost a "loop" like mode..... this section comes toward the tail end of the jam.
the whole show was a blast -- but these two moments certainly stand-out as the most notable jams of the night... honorable mention goes to the maze shredfest -- not a "jam" per se, but just insane energy. this band is so ridiculous it's not even funny. the whole NYE weekend was dominant.
before the second show i told my friends
"All i want is a run like an antelope tweezer reprise encore..."
glad to see videos of it and see trey loving tweezer reprise.....thats all that matters
Opening with tweezer was crazy. Everything was crazy. 2001>suzy greenburg was killer!
As always, antelope and tweezer reprise is a great way to end the show.
Gotta love trey and the rest of the boys and all in all, epic night!
Highlights for me:
Set 1
Chalk dust, gumbo,camel walk, maze and gin.
Set 2
TWEEZER(a must hear)
Rockin encore that is still one of my favorites. Overall 4/5 which is a great first show!!

Communism certainly has changed. The Wall Street Journal identified "160 of China's 1,024 richest people, with a collective family net worth of $221 billion, who were seated in the Communist Party Congress, the legislature and a prominent advisory group called the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference" when the group gathered last month.

Pensioners are leaving Germany because of the rising cost of retirement homes, an average of between €2,900 ($3,847.14) and €3,400 a month. As a result, a variety of health-care providers are opening homes overseas dedicated to the care of elderly Germans. [The Guardian]
This is a case of back to the future if ever there was one: Palestinian journalist Daoud Kuttab reports that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is considering a confederation with Jordan as one way to resolve the status of the Palestinians. For years, that was essentially Israel's preferred route to a resolution. [The Atlantic]
Terrorism spreads: Eli Lake reports that the United Arab Emirates, thought to be largely immune to the threat from radical terrorists, this week "rolled up a terror cell planning attacks for the emirates and other Gulf States"—apparently an al Qaeda cell. [Daily Beast]

While some people are reluctant to join Facebook because they think (erroneously it turns out) it's just for teeny boppers, for dating, or makes them vulnerable to loss of privacy (again in actuality, these are not true), there is a social networking site where we can talk with and explore the ideas, etc. of other genealogists.
It is Genealogywise, a free site, which some of our own society members have frequented from time to time.
On top of that, there is a page there set up for members of the Wood County Genealogical society called the Wood County (TX) Genealogy Coffee Klatch. While it has been quiet all this past spring and summer, discussion topics, etc. which are not really appropriate for the society newsletter (that is ideas in the formation stage or those just being floated to test the waters of member opinion) will be posted there starting in October and into the future.
You are urged to go there and post your own ideas, suggestions, etc. and comment on the ones others post there.
Genealogywise, of course, is much broader than just our society and includes a variety of topics about genealogy. This month's Genwise Newsletter, in fact, features a group started by a member of the Wood County Genealogical Society called Save Our (Local Genealogy) Societies. It was started by your newsletter editor, Deason Hunt. (Yes, it seems very strange to talk about myself in the third person.) If interested, you can check it out by clicking the link above.
"The Genwise September 29, 2010 Newsletter has this to say about the SOS group: Genealogy societies are important partners in our genealogy research. Local genealogy societies can be a place to learn and network and those societies in our ancestor's locality can be a place to ask for research help. This group started by Deason Hunt is for "Discussion, Tips, and Innovations to strengthen and help local genealogical societies with growth and ideas for activities."
Genealogywise is a website worth checking out. Most likely we all have something to add to the discussions there as well as enjoying getting to network with other genealogists online.

Symphogen meets Phase II endpoints
23.08.2012 - Danish Symphogen has published positive study results with the first recombinant polyclonal antibody therapy ever tested in clinical trials.
Results of an open-label, dose-escalation Phase II study including 61 patients with primary immune thromocytopenia (ITP) suggest that a single injection of rozrolimupab (SYM001) is safe and boosts platelet counts significantly (Blood). In doses ranging from 75-300µg/kg the recombinantly produced mixture of 25 fully human anti-Rhesus D (RhD)-specific antibodies induced mild adverse effects in up to 20% of the volunteers, mostly headache (20%) and pyrexia (13%). In 8 out of 13 patients (62%), Symphogen's lead drug induced an increase in platelet counts of at least 20x109/L after 72 hours that persisted for seven days after injection. Median time to response was 59 hours and the median duration of response was 14 days.
Lead investigator Professor Tadeusz Robak, from Lodz University said: "These phase II results suggest an efficacy and safety profile similar to that seen with plasma derived immunoglobulin products. Rozrolimupab can be produced indefinitely and may represent a novel and convenient replacement for blood-derived immunoglobulins with more limited supply." Kirsten Drejer, Symphogen chief executive officer, added: "The multicenter study included involvement of the regulatory authorities of the USA, Europe and Asia, and we are confident that antibody mixtures represent a viable new class of antibody therapeutics offering well-characterized and potentially more efficacious alternatives to existing treatments."
Symphogen's rozrolimupab is the first human recombinant mixture of 25 antibodies which has been clinically tested. The mixture is manufactured simultaneously from a single batch, mimicking the natural diversity of the human antibody response. Sym001 is being developed as an alternative to existing anti-RhD hyperimmune immunoglobulins for the treatment of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) and the prevention of Hemolytic Disease of Newborns (HDN). Sym001 is being co-developed with Swedish Biovitrum AB. Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura is an autoimmune bleeding disorder caused by abnormally low platelet levels, making it difficult for the blood to clot normally. Hemolytic Disease in Newborns is a Rhesus D-negative woman becoming sensitive to RhD during the pregnancy with or delivery of a Rhesus D-positive child. This immune reaction may trigger a maternal antibody response in subsequent RhD-positive pregnancies, causing the breakdown of fetal red blood cells.http://www.european-biotechnology-news.com/news/news/2012-03/symphogen-meets-phase-ii-endpoints.html

EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado - Times being what they are, a lot of artists are filling their financial cups a drop at a time. Ken Carpenter hopes he can turn one of those drops into a bit of a flow.
Carpenter, a longtime local resident, has over the years made financial ends meet as a musician, artist and bus driver. These days, Carpenter has launched a funding project on the Kickstarter website to, well, kick-start a greeting-card company called the (Slightly) Imperfekt Card Company, or SIC. Yes, it's from Latin, and is the commonly used word for "this person sent us a note containing a mistake, and we're not going to correct it."
Carpenter works in simple, but not simplistic, black-and-white line drawings, the kind of art you'll often find in the "New Yorker" magazine. And he's grateful for any comparisons to the cartoons found there.
Of course, lots of artists want to see their work in the "New Yorker" - Carpenter said the magazine receives between 1,000 and 3,000 submissions every week.
With a steady gig at the magazine unlikely, Carpenter last year turned out a few hundred greeting cards and sold them to small gift shops around the state. His Kickstarter campaign is an extension of that effort.
The campaign, which is trying to raise $5,000 from small investors, is near its end, and only about halfway to the $5,000 goal. If the goal is met, Carpenter plans to invest in printing, card racks and marketing to perhaps three dozen stores. Printing will be done on recycled paper, and envelopes will be made from recycled brown-paper grocery bags. It's sustainable, but classy.
That's a fairly modest goal for a first round of funding, but Carpenter can see a day when his cards become more popular. There could be market-specific cards for various shops, along with the more general-topic cards.
If he's successful, Carpenter sees SIC becoming a way to cover a few months of income, something those of us with seasonal jobs are always looking for.
"And it could be a way to fulfill a goal of having an out-of-valley income source," he said.
While Carpenter's goals are modest, both personally and on Kickstarter, he will at times indulge in a quick flight of fancy, imagining the day his well-drawn, intelligent cards might be picked up by, say, Barnes and Noble.
Whether or not the Kickstarter campaign works, Carpenter said he's grateful for the support he's seen so far. Many of his online backers are people Carpenter knows, and he knows people are investing what they can in his idea.
That's why he's coined a new term for what Kickstarter does.
"I know they call it 'crowd-funding,'" he said. "I think it's more like community-funding."

It's been 68 years, but Bob Pioli will never forget the morning of April 29, 1945 when, after more than a year of incarceration, he was one of 100,000 soldiers liberated from a Nazi prison of war camp at Moosburg, Germany.
"From what I understand, Hitler was planning to hold all the POWs and use us to negotiate with the Allies at the end of the war," Pioli, 91, said during a gathering marking the anniversary of the liberation at his Devola home Monday.
Ironically, Hitler committed suicide the day after the liberation, and Germany surrendered eight days later as Pioli and other former POWs were being flown out of the country.

Lt. Bob Pioli, right, talks with Congressman Bill Johnson during a ceremony at Pioli's Devola home Monday celebrating the 68th anniversary of his liberation from a Nazi prisoner of war camp at the end of World War II.
SAM SHAWVER The Marietta Times
Monday's anniversary celebration with many of Pioli's neighbors was highlighted by a surprise visit from Congressman Bill Johnson, R-Marietta, who presented Pioli with a U.S. flag that had flown over the nation's capitol in Pioli's honor last month.
"How many times does a congressman come to your house and give you a flag?" Pioli said after receiving the banner.
Johnson said he was honored to be able to present the flag to one of "The Greatest Generation," a term often used to describe World War II veterans.
Fact Box
At a glance
Lt. Bob Pioli, U.S. Army, Air Corps, 2nd Group, 96th Bomb Squadron, 15th Air Force.
Age: 91
Residence: Devola.
Family: Wife, Roberta; seven children; 14 grandchildren; one great-grandchild.
Occupation: Retired chemical engineer.
"This is something for which I will gladly clear my schedule-to honor our nation's heroes is very important," he said. "And I'm especially honored to be able to do this on the very day of his liberation."
Pioli recalled the deplorable conditions of the camp in which the Allied soldiers had been forced to live for months before they were finally set free.
"We were infested with lice. At night you would just itch and scratch," he said. "We lived with all sorts of vermin and it was cold as hell. It was like hell on earth."
Years later Pioli describes the day Gen. George Patton's 3rd Army broke through and liberated the POW camp as one of the best days of his life. He said the liberation began around 10 or 11 a.m. that morning.
"A P51 (fighter plane) came over so close we could see the pilot," he said. "He waggled the wings, and we knew we were coming out."
Pioli said about the same time a tank rolled in from the 14th Armored Division.
"We were so glad to see them, and about the time the tank came through we saw the Nazi flag over Moosburg coming down and the Stars and Stripes being raised," he said. "They say grown men don't cry, but there wasn't a dry eye in the entire camp that day."
A crowd of friends and family assembled at the Piolis' home for the occasion.
"I'm just glad to be his neighbor and to know what he did for his country," said Bert Goddard. "This is someone who was willing to give his life, and I can't imagine what he went through as a POW."
Also presented a U.S. flag flown over the capitol was Navy veteran Charles Meeks who served from 1962 to 64.
"We need to thank all of our veterans who have served in all wars," Meeks said. "And it's good to see the support our current veterans are receiving when they return home. It's well deserved."
Edwina Campbell, secretary for the Ohio Patriot Guard organization, coordinated Monday's event.
"I've read Bob Pioli's memoirs, and it's just phenomenal," she said. "When you read the part about the U.S. flag raised over Moosburg, it brings tears to your eyes."

SNOWMASS VILLAGE --The Snowmass Village Town Council on Jan. 7 appointed new and returning members to fill vacancies on all the town's boards and commissions.
Thirty-three vacancies were created because some members' terms expired and other openings were not filled last year.
Other issues:
• Also during the regular meeting, council members voted unanimously to join the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments, a joint effort of local municipalities in the region that allows them to work together on projects and communicate better. The council also helps the governments garner state and federal grants.
Mayor Bill Boineau said in the past he had not supported joining the council for fiscal reasons. Joining this year will cost the town $6,091.
"It does sound like something I would think we probably should be getting involved in," he said following a presentation by Liz Mullen, interim executive director of the council. He also gave as a reason for joining the fact that the town is one of the few municipalities in the region that are not members.
• Town Council unanimously approved the Pitkin County pre-disaster mitigation plan. Federal law requires jurisdictions to adopt and update such a plan every five years to be eligible for multiple FEMA grant programs.
• The council also approved the location of the town's public notice board in Town Hall and re-appointed Lawson Wills as municipal judge. The judge, who Town Attorney John Dresser said has never received a raise in this position, will be provided a parking pass this year.
• The council scheduled a half-day retreat for 8 a.m. Jan. 30 to review its strategic plan.

Understanding Sephora's New Upside Down Mascara
How a new-fangled double brush may change the way we think of applying a makeup staple
This is not news -- heck, there's evidence that as far back as 4000 BC Egyptian women and men, used kohl to darken their lashes. In fact, long, luxurious eyelashes are so highly coveted that, as one researcher set forth in a paper called Beauty, Politics and Patriarchy, "The use of mascara helps to mimic neoteny, namely large eyes. Mascara pulls away the eyelash from the rim of the eye creating a doe-like illusion of larger, more open eyes. Wide eyes are culturally equated with youth, and may be subconsciously associated with innocence. Innocence and youth can prompt protective instincts as well as feelings of attraction."
READ: The 12 Worst Mascaras
And, because we recognize the effect mascara has, folks are forever heading back to the drawing board to arrive at the perfect formula, the perfect wand, the perfect brush. Or even, gasp, all three.
It was that goal that precipitated the creation of the new-fangled Sephora Collection Upside Down Mascara ($22).
Its inventive double brush (think: BBQ tongs) is designed to create three looks in one using its paraben, sulfate and phthalate-free formula. Here's the how-to:
READ: Are you a Sucker at Sephora
"For ultimate volume, use the open wand by placing lashes between the upper and lower mascara brush to coat each lash with 360 degrees of volumizing pigment. To achieve a wide-eyed, long lash look, use the dual brush closed for maximized delivery. Create defined lower lashes with the closed mascara brush. Feeling bold? Use all three techniques together for a maximized lash effect."
Sephora, like any company that comes out with a new formulation or gimmick/gizmo, is betting on the fact that most of us have yet to find the Holy Grail of mascaras and won't rest until we do. Have you found the eyelash answer you've been looking for? Or, is the quest for the ideal mascara one that you're still on?

About the Book
Famed composer Reuben Walrus is going deaf, even as he finishes up his greatest symphony. To stave off the encroaching silence, he embarks on an odyssey that will, hopefully, lead him to Maximilian, a fabled creature rumored to have miraculous healing powers. But exactly who—or what—is Maximilian? According to Wolf Diaz, Maximilian, unlike the other stuffed animals of Mollisan Town, did not arrive by green delivery truck. He cannot be identified as any particular species and is made from a material unlike any other with almost invisible seams. And, as he's matured, he's begun preaching odd parables, attracting a legion of followers hoping to learn from his teachings. But his acolytes aren't the only plush figures paying attention. The dark forces currently ruling Mollisan Town are listening as well—which has sent Maximilian into hiding. Now time is running out if Reuben hopes to find him before the sounds of his world fade out forever.
Through the complex lives of the stuffed animals living in the world he brilliantly introduced in Amberville, Tim Davys explores the hopes and fears, strengths and weaknesses defining humanity.

1,500 attend Unity Week Celebration
Published: Monday, January 21, 2013 at 9:20 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 21, 2013 at 9:57 p.m.
The theme of serving others was heard throughout the city of Spartanburg's Unity Week Celebration on Monday night.
An estimated 1,500 attended the free event at Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium. It was a night to recognize students who won poetry and poster contests with the theme, "Serve with a Purpose — Think It, Speak It, Live It," and local organizations and businesses that serve others throughout the year. The Sounds of Diversity Choir and Orchestra performed "Order My Steps," a gospel song about answering the call to fulfill and serve.
During his opening remarks, Spartanburg Mayor Pro Tem Jerome Rice told the audience that they must be mindful of the opportunities to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. every day, and shared one of his favorite quotes from the civil rights leader, about serving a purpose larger than yourself:
"Everybody can be great because anybody can serve. You don't need a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love."
Keynote speaker for the event was Miss America 2012, Laura Kaeppeler. During the past year, her year of service as the reigning Miss America, Kaeppeler said she's learned how service to others can nurture the soul.
Since being named the 86th Miss America, Kaeppeler has made numerous TV and corporate appearances across the country, and speaks on behalf of the Miss America Organization's national platform, the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, and her personal platform, advocating for the children of incarcerated parents.
Kaeppeler talked about how, when she was a teenager, her father went to prison for mail fraud.
"Almost instantly, I was the odd man out at school," she said. Two million children in the United States currently have a parent in prison, and children of incarcerated parents often end up in jail themselves.
Through the Miss America Organization, Kaeppeler said she has been able to reach out to children of incarcerated parents, children who are often overlooked, she said.
"Service doesn't have to be something that changes the world," Kaeppeler said. "It can be something that changes one person. We must mobilize in the spirit of Dr. King. Let's work for peace and equality for all. Let's all be the change we wish to see and let's remember that change begins with us."
After her speech, Kaeppeler was recognized by the local Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization, and Rice presented her with the key to the city.
"It may not open the door to City Hall, and it may not open the door to any banks, but it does open the door to our fine city," Rice said.
In his closing remarks for the night, Pastor Walter R. Belton of St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church, told the story of a man who was seen walking along a beach, throwing every starfish he found back into the water. Someone questioned the man's efforts, pointing out that the man couldn't possibly save them all.
"The man said, 'The ones I do get back in the water survive,'" Belton said. "If you can only do a little, do that."

Should they be retained ? Should modifications be requested ? Would it be to the Tribe's advantage to contract all forestry management under the Self-Détermination Act, PL 93-638 ? What specific problem areas exist, and what are the ramifications of the possible choices ? The Tribal Council feels that such questions need serious investigation by someone with the necessary expertise in the forestry management field. To this end, they have contracted a $48,000 forest management study to investigate forestry problems and the possibility of all forest management functions to be contracted. The final report would probably need a year of preparation before being submitted at the end of September 1977. A preliminary report would be given to the Tribe in six months. The money expended on this study will be paid for by the BIA's funding available to the Tribe for hiring special consultants to help the Tribe in dec isio n sr o f w heat her to contract certain programs. Wesley Rickard, a forest management policy and economics consultant, has been selected for the job. Mr. Rickard has worked for both Weyrhauser Co. and the U.S. Forest Service in connection with forest management strategies and operations. He has sixteen years of experience in the field. The following excerpts from his qualifications statement highlight some of his experience: " As consultant in 1968 to the Oregon Legislature's Interim Committee on Public Lands, Wesley Rickard developed " The Action Forest ", an expository report showing how public forest productivity can be increased by more than 100%. This report has been released by the Public Lands Committee. " ____" Mr. Rickard in 1974 was an appraiser of over 3,300 acres of private lands in California taken by the U.S. for the Redwood National Park. He is currently participating in a joint appraisal, at the direction of the U.S. District Court, Oregon District, of over 130,000 acres of Klamath Indian forestland in Klamath County, Ore. Mr. Rickard has carried out forest management strategy analyses in connection with forest management potentials for the Menominee, Klamath, Quinault, Warm Springs, and Fort Belknap Indians, as well as numerous forest industry companies and individuals."

Booming growth and construction in Columbia County could be creating some problems with the environment.
News 12's Stephanie Baker visited one neighborhood pond where construction debris is polluting the water.
Lots of Columbia County houses sit on Bowens Pond...but it's a place some people say is slowly disappearing. All sorts of things have flowed into the pond throughout the years, from construction runoff to sewage.
John Rowlett lives on the pond and says the mud is has taken over in just a few years.
"We've become a dumping ground...a retention pond of sorts for upstream problems they haven't taken care of," Rowlett says.
And the recent construction boom is adding to the problem.
Rowlett and hundreds of others signed a petition for the county to clean it up.
Commissioners voted to hold off for now, but chairman Ron Cross disagrees.
"We have the responsibility for it," Cross says. "Personally I think we need to fix the problem or get rid of the pond."
Fixing it would cost $1 million, which Cross says they don't have right now.
Another worry is nearby sewer lines.
"We've had some problems where it backed up so much sewage spilled in," Rowlett says.
The Water Department says that can happen during heavy rain.
Rowlett's neighbor Diane Polak is worried about the wildlife.
"It's a pretty pond...to see the birds in the morning and hear them at the outside," Polak says.
And she's concerned about the possible pollution.
Some of the standing water has a pinkish tint--the appearance of a chemical. Rowlett says a water department test shows it's fine. His biggest complaint for commissioners is the mud taking over his former waterfront property.
"Be responsible for what you've done. We have all these taxpayers here and we can't get commissioners to help us out," he says.
Some of the neighbors here say they're going to keep going to meetings until the pond is restored.
Funding the cleanup is part of a $40 million bond the county is considering.
Anyone in the county can tell commissioners where they think the money should go.
There are two upcoming meetings May 11th and June 8th.

first of all: well done! The new release ist greate (even though i also liked the 2.2 - and still also use this version).
I have started a drawing in the stable release (2.2). Afterwards i changed it with the new release (first 3.0 rc3 - then 3.0 rc4, when i noticed the problem).
I cannot tell when it really started - but now the colors of all layers, which used to be black, are set to "custom" and appear to be something between brown and red. If i change the colors again to "black", then everything is ok. I save the file and when i open it again, the color settings are "custom" again...
I don't know how the attach a file... but i can send it via email, if you want.
Best regards,

St. Paul police have asked Minneapolis prosecutors to review allegations of police brutality against two officers after a videotaped arrest shows one of them kicking a man.
The YouTube video shows St. Paul police Officer Jesse Zilge kicking 30-year-old Eric Hightower once in the chest while trying to arrest Hightower last August. Another officer, Matthews Gorans, sprayed Mace into Hightower's face and right ear to help get him into a squad car.
Last year, Olmsted County prosecutor Jim Martinson reviewed the case for possible felony charges. He declined to file charges, saying there was "insufficient proof" the officers used unreasonable force.
A St. Paul police spokesman tells Minnesota Public Radio (http://bit.ly/SgVQDn ) the Minneapolis city attorney will review the incident for possible misdemeanor charges.
Meanwhile, a police internal affairs investigation continues.

Biotech partnering and the other IP
Intellectual Property (IP) is without question one of the most vital aspects of any biotech venture, a key and undisputed factor for success. However, most biotech companies are still incapable of unlocking the value of their intellectual property all on their own. They need another kind of IP – Intelligent Partnerships, especially in the expanding monoclonal antibodies market.
Since the beginning of the economic crisis, the biotechnology sector has had to endure a lot of negative news, even suggestions that the industry as a whole could collapse. Whilst overly exaggerated, the current viewpoint is certainly grave. But let's look at the abbreviation of IP in another way: Intelligent Partnerships! Below are a couple of examples of this essential area that we consider important to the future of the biotech industry.
IP between academia and industry is key to the sustainability of the sector. The raw material for new start-up ventures is mostly a transfer from universities into industries. Understanding how to manage the interactions between the public partner (which most universities are) and the private sector is an indispensable ability for future development of the company. Evaluating science amongst peers becomes more important as the industry grows more global.
IP requires smart money!
IP often requires good, experienced and well-connected investors. Only if smart money finds its way into the venture can you expect solid development of results and milestone achievements. The prudent investor base isn't only involved in the Life Science and Biotechnology sectors. If investors see better (or safer) future exits for their money, they will turn away from our risky but highly-rewarding industry and invest in other areas.
IP is also necessary with a view to fostering increased respect for the research community. Its members produce innovation, which leads to new products, new cures, new production methods, new companies and to more jobs. The service sector depends a lot on a pipeline of new ideas that can be turned into products with commercial value. In the past, society respected researchers and engineers much more than they do today. We should alter that current perception as quickly as possible and motivate young talents to look for professional success in science and engineering.
IP works well in countries where major government and industry funding is available. These entities invest and manage start-up funds, and by doing so create a pipeline of new companies. Critics might say that too much state aid is not good for the sector, but managed well, rewards are higher than initial investments. After all, a larger and improved work force is the goal of any economy.
IP needs cluster management
Not many industries are better equipped to be grouped into clusters based on Porter's theory of building competitive advantages. Hotbeds of biotech can be found in countries all over the world, and they compete with one another. If that competitive spirit leads to better science and economic output it's all well and good, but if it becomes an obstacle for sustainable development then it's better to change strategies. The size of a country also determines the number of clusters.
Related to the IP of cluster management is the fact that transatlantic collaborations in the public sector need to be improved. For decades, academic institutions have worked with peers all over the world, but funding agencies still hold off on investments. The European Union's FP-programmes are steps in the right direction, but the bureaucracy for each programme remains high. Partnering events like the BIO-Europe Spring are also good platforms for starting sustainable relationships.
Stimulate IP!
Last but not least, IP in creating an improved and better image for biotechnology is a must. Biotech is a far-reaching instrument for providing good solutions to the world's most pressing issues, but we all need to use its tools wisely and have patience. Intelligent Partnerships can only grow if we are all taking part.

2. Finished my first Japanese bughunt!
Gmane%20link%20to%20gmane.linux.debian.jp.user, Gmane link to message
They really, really like emacs-wiki, and were surprised to read a message from me. =) I'm looking forward to extending the same level of customization support to them!
We had a field trip to CEATEC Japan 2004, a huge technology trade show. I quickly headed toward the software section I thought I spotted on the map. I was slightly disappointed to find out that the rooms were dedicated for software-track talks, although I was mollified to see Linux mentioned there. As I wouldn't have understood anything anyway, I headed back to the main exhibition.
I saw a UK company with wearable fabric keyboards and controls. They also produce moisture sensors for medical monitoring and contact sensors for smart furniture. Neat demos! There was a CD player case with a volume control on the black canvas cover, a PDA wrap-around case with built-in keyboard, a wrist-strap MP3-player controller.
I made sure I passed by the Transmeta, Sony, Panasonic and Sharp booths. The Transmeta booth was really cool. A few of the featured products had Linux on them. =) I saw the Sharp Mebius. Pretty computer. Really light! Nice form factor. Yes, yes, I went laptop-spotting...
The other thing that really impressed me was this large flat-panel TV from Panasonic. It was displaying a map at desktop-style resolution. I was astounded when the promo girl leaned over and touched the screen. Imagine what working with applications would be like if your computer monitor was that large! Gimp / Photoshop would be so much fun. Then again, I'm a text kind of girl... =)
I found the exhibits very interesting, and would've liked to spend more time there. I don't know why some of the other trainees found it boring. <laugh> Their loss, not mine! =)
I'd love to hear about any questions, comments, suggestions or links that you might have. Your comments will not be posted on this website immediately, but will be e-mailed to me first. You can use this form to get in touch with me, or e-mail me at [email protected] .

Encouraged by a cell phone
To all of you that use the cell phone light like I do, I just want to say this. For me, as I was walking through my dark house trying to get to my bedroom, it was truly an exercise in faith. I could only see the light at my feet. I had to trust that even though I could only see three feet in front of me, if I kept following this light, I would get there.
It reminded me of a scripture in the bible, Psalm 119:105 "The word is a lamp unto my feet and a light into my pathway." Back in those days when people would travel through the night, they would use little lamps that were attached to their feet. The lamp only gave them enough light to see just a few steps in front of them. As long as they kept moving, they could find their way. If they stopped moving, so did the light.
This moved me because this is how I have lived my entire life. I have always walked by faith. Sometimes there was only a little light, a little hope that kept me moving. There were so many times that I didn't know how I was going to make it. So many times I didn't know where my next meal was coming from, if my hope would be realized or if my dreams would come true. But no matter how dark it got, I kept moving. That is one of the keys to making your dreams come true. JUST KEEP MOVING FORWARD!
If you'd allow me to, I'd like to challenge you to do more of that this year. Live by faith! No matter what you see happening around you, no matter how dark it may be, follow the lamp at your feet that God provides to us all, no matter who we are. A small step is still a step forward.
At the top of every year, I stop and go away to reflect. I will usually take out my journal and read over some of the past years and look at all the things God brought me through, no matter how dark the times. What rereading my journal taught me is that there was always a lamp at my feet. I think if you look at your life, you'll see a lamp too. :-) If you don't, look closer. I promise you it's there!
If you're struggling in any way, financially, school, business, relationships, children, sickness, heartache, I so believe that God will be a light unto your pathway. IF YOU LET HIM!! Stop looking for the light at the end of the tunnel and look at the light at your feet and you'll get there.
I hope you remember this every time you use your cell to light a path. God Bless you in 2012! You can make this your best year yet, through faith.

Whether you're stuck on campus for your long day of back-to-back classes, or just hungry and need a snack, trail mix is a simple treat that is tasty, quick to prepare, and packed with nutrients. Nuts are high in protein and antioxidants, seeds provide several minerals such as magnesium and zinc, and both of them are loaded with the healthy fat that keeps your skin and hair healthy.
Trail mix can be made by mixing any of the following together:
–Nuts: This includes peanuts, almonds, cashews or walnuts.
–Granola: You can buy straight granola in the bulk section of the grocery store, or look in the cereal section for granola with dried fruit and other sweeteners.
–Dried fruit: This can be as simple as raisins or be expanded to dried apples, cranberries, or my favorite, mango.
–Seeds: Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and flax seeds can add both taste and nutritional value to your trail mix.
–Other not-so-nutritious stuff that make trail mix taste reallyreally good but isn't necessarily good for you: M&M's, anyone? If you need something sweet in your mix, dark chocolate chips provide more of those healthy fats while still satisfying your sugar cravings. In moderation, you can also add crackers, pretzels, popcorn, yogurt-covered fruit or white chocolate chips.
Any combination of these items is delicious and nutritious!
Have fun snacking!
