How many strokes does it take for this male masturbation cream to transform its texture? Empowered Products claims that at or around the 29th stroke, this product changes to simulate the sensation of skin-to-skin contact. Unlike silicone and water lubricants, this thick and creamy, non-greasy formula provides more than just slippery stimulation. The combination of heat and friction from repetitive stoking actually increases the cream's viscosity instead of breaking it down. Unscented, flavor- and fragrance-free, Stroke 29 contains skin nourishing Almond Oil, Aloe Vera and Vitamin E, so it also makes a great no-mess massage cream.

"Drenge's future looks set to be nothing less than bone-shakingly exciting" – NME
"Hugely enjoyable…(Drenge's) concerns are more about being as exciting as possible right now" – Guardian Guide
"A grungy, garage rock racket" – Q
The visceral, opening one-two punch of "Bloodsports" and "Backwaters" announced Drenge as one of the best and most exciting new bands on the UK music scene right now. Even though only comprising of sibling duo Rory and Eoin Loveless, they play with enough raw enthusiasm and velocity, enough no holds barred energy and contagiousness that their music never becomes anything less than wholly and compulsively thrilling.
If the pair of singles were the battle cry, this, their debut full length LP, is their mission statement, an A-Z of the most exhilarating chapters of punk rock whittled down to its leanest, meanest, no-frills essence; 12 razor sharp tracks that jolt you to life even as they seize the brain with their terminally catchy melodies and jagged hooks. Songs like "Face Like a Skull" and "Nothing" speed by recklessly in a dizzying blur of white heat and seething riffs, while others, like raucous fan favourites "People in Love Make Me Feel Yuck" and "Dog meat" come across as relentless shots of adrenalin straight to the cerebral cortex, so anthemic, rapturous and stuffed full of ringing guitar chords and deadpan lyricism are they. Then, on the other hand, we have the album closer "Fuck about" which, despite what the title might have you believe, actually showcases Drenge's lesser seen tender side, as Eoin bemoans his chequered romantic history. It's a (slightly) quieter moment in the album to be sure, but one that nevertheless goes straight for your gut.
What is clear over the course of the album however, and what will undoubtedly put it heads and shoulders above the rest of their peers this year is Drenge's uncanny ability to tap into the insouciance, confusion and chaos of today's generation while at the same time translating it into a vicious serotonin rush of a record that permeates every particle of your being. Even though the duo are barely in their 20s, they have accumulated enough confidence, vim and vigour in their music to sweep any discerning listener off their feet. Hold onto your hats: you'll be swept up too.

My One Favorite Thing this week is Scramble, an anagram word game on Facebook that is basically the online equivalent of the old board game Boggle.
For those of you unfamiliar with the concept, the basic idea is you are given a bunch of letter tiles laid out on a square board and you must string adjacent letters together to form words of at least three letters long, racking up more points for longer words.
It's quite the simple premise … and also dangerously addictive.
To be honest, I don't even know if Scramble is My One Favorite Thing. It could quite possibly be My One Least Favorite Thing. All I know is I'm playing it a lot. A LOT. In fact, I can't stop playing it. I'm playing it now, actually, even as I write this, because one of the unfortunate side effects of playing the game for extended periods is you can't stop seeing Scramble boards floating in front of your head and trying to form words off of them.
Yes, I am apparently hallucinating from overdosing on Scramble. Now I understand the true meaning of the game's name – it totally scrambles your brain into mushy eggs.
I don't quite know how it got to this point. A few months ago, I was playing a few games of Scramble a week – a rather innocuous amount – with one of my friends on Facebook. Unfortunately, she's like an anagram idiot savant and always crushed me.
While I was getting a bit better, the bad losses continued to pile up and began to really bother me. I said as much to my friend and she suggested I get more practice by trying out the 'Play Live' version of the game where you can compete against hundreds of other people who are playing Scramble online at the same time.
So I tried it. And then I couldn't stop. The beauty of the game is that it is short – each match is between 1 minute and 3 minutes, depending on the version you play – and after the time stops, you can see what words you missed (and also get their definitions if you'd like but learning useful stuff really has nothing to do with Scramble). You can also see your scoring rank updated realtime, and if you are in the top 25 by the end of the game, you can see your profile picture proudly displayed to the right. Each match sends a tiny little shot of endorphins rushing through your bloodstream.
One night, I decided I was not going to go to bed until I got every 3-letter word on one of the boards, so after each game I would write down a three-letter word I missed and had never heard of before and commit it to memory. I spent the next six hours – writing down almost 100 words in the process (file attached) – trying to accomplish my goal. I never did it, getting only as close as one missed 3-letter word before I realized I was perhaps a game away from completely losing it and going on a Scramble-induced murderous rampage.
Part of me wants to go on and on about all the nuances of the game – how I wish they would get rid of the ability to use gameplay credits to get word hints because it's F-in cheating and I know people use it all the time just so they can push me out of the top 10 at the last second, how I wish I knew how the game calculates one's Word IQ because it seems almost totally arbitrary, how I wish people in the chat board would say something – ANYTHING – other than 'gga' or 'wd' after every friggin game, etc.
But there's this other part of me – oh, call it every last tingling, jangling nerve in my body – that needs another Scramble hit right now, so you'll have to excuse me while I get my next fix.

On the Release of the GI Consensus Statement and Recommendations in Pediatrics: The ATN's role in Moving from Consensus to Evidence
The release today of the consensus statements and recommendations for the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders in Pediatrics provides much needed guidance to clinicians and practitioners involved in the care of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in the recognition, evaluation, and management of abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, chronic constipation and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Given the difficulties some children with ASD experience in communicating pain or discomfort, these recommendations mark an important step to understand and characterize the manifestation of gastrointestinal complaints in these children. They also serve to bring order to the diagnostic and treatment procedures for parents and physicians. While the expert recommendations break new ground, we anticipate that they are a prelude towards the development of evidence-based guidelines that will standardize care for all children with ASD.
Several of the authors on these two papers, including myself, are pediatric gastroenterologists as well as active members of the GI Committee of Autism Speaks' Autism Treatment Network (ATN). Through the ATN GI Committee and the federally-sponsored Autism Intervention Research Network on Physical Health (AIR-P), the ATN is turning consensus-based recommendations into ASD-specific clinical evaluation and treatment algorithms. These will be based on data (where it exists) and guidelines for pediatric GI conditions for neurotypical children that we modify for children with ASD, supplemented by expert opinion that supports the effectiveness of the recommended procedures.
The ATN is working closely with the National Initiative for Children's Healthcare Quality (NICHQ) (http://www.nichq.org/), an organization recognized as expert in pediatric guideline development. Together, we are in progress of piloting of the first developed algorithm which is for the evaluation and treatment of constipation at several ATN member sites. The data we collect from this pilot work and subsequent broad implementation across ATN sites will eventually contribute to the development of evidence-based guidelines. The ATN is a highly unique resource in this effort, in part because of the ATN Registry which collects and analyzes data on over 1700 ATN children with ASD.
The eventual development of ASD-specific evaluation and treatment algorithms for GI disorders and other conditions that trouble children with ASD means that physicians and other care providers who use these algorithms will have greater clarity on the diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of these conditions. For families, these algorithms will provide confidence that a chosen course of action is based on careful testing in clinical practice and greatly increase the likelihood of successful identification and management of their children.
For the time being and until the availability of the ATN evaluation and treatment algorithms, parents are urged to let their children's doctors know about the release of the important consensus statements and recommendations on-line in Pediatrics so that that they might be applied to their child's care.
George J. Fuchs, M.D.Dr Fuchs is Professor of Pediatrics, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and Medical Director, Gastroenterology, Arkansas Children's Hospital. He is a member of the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, (NASPGHAN), and is the Chair of the Gastroenterology Committee of the Autism Treatment Network.

WATERTOWN TWP.-The current flu season is off to an early start, and widespread cases of hospitalizations and even flu-related deaths have been a source of growing concern. However, even this year's flu numbers can't compare with the influenza pandemic that struck the nation in 1918.
In Watertown Township, Robert Schwendeman, 75, remembers his father telling the story of the Oliver family, who lost three children to the pandemic and buried those children in the back corner of the family farm.
"I can't remember their first names," said Schwendeman. "I only remember coming out here and seeing two big, old field stones."

JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
Watertown township resident Robert Schwendeman, 75, revisits the area Friday where he remembers visiting the markers of three children buried at the back corner of the family farm. According to Schwendeman's father, the children had been victims of the 1918 flu epidemic.
According to census records, Joseph and Alice Oliver were the only Olivers in the area at the time. The farm is situated off Waterford Road.
Schwendeman was told by a later owner of the property that the Olivers had originally marked the plot with six stones, three head and three foot stones.
Nearly a century later, none of the stones remain. However, bordered on two sides by fences, the small triangle of land where the stones once rested is the only spot of land for acres that has been untouched by a tractor.
Fact Box
About the site
Located at the back corner plot of farmland at 11301 Waterford Road in Watertown Township.
Three children of Joseph and Alice Oliver who lost their lives to the flu epidemic of 1918 were buried there, according to stories handed down to a local resident.
No markers remain, but a small triangle of land is the only area for acres that has not been farmed.
"It's never been farmed. You can see there where the tractor just goes around it," Schwendeman pointed out.
It is not certain why the Olivers would have buried their children on the family farm, rather than in a nearby cemetery.
"By then, that was more of a throwback practice," said local historian Scott Britton.
Joseph and Alice are both listed as buried in the Beverly Cemetery in Waterford Township.
However, it is possible that the Olivers, like many at the time, were overwhelmed by the sudden veracity of the epidemic.
In fact, Ohio was so overwhelmed by the illness that state officials were a month late in complying with a demand from the Public Health Service that all states compile a report of the flu's effects.
The October 1918 report said Ohio was currently experiencing 125,000 cases of the flu. It also reported that the flu had contributed to 1,541 deaths in Ohio in a single week that month.
Washington County and Marietta were not spared. Combined city and county records showed that flu, pneumonia, and emphysema were listed as the cause of death for 87 county residents in 1918, nearly three times as many as the previous year.
The 52 influenza-related deaths inside the city of Marietta accounted for approximately one-sixth of all the deaths in the city that year, said Sandra Hickey, registrar for the Marietta City Health Department.
"There was a lot that died of the flu back then," said Schwendeman.

I use this a lot. If only one could change the text mode, e.g. I'd like to read PETSCII when fiddling with C64 files rather than ASCII...
Excellent! Simple, small and can open files of 200 mb in a breeze. Unlike some other hex editors out there...

(WOMENSENEWS)-- In "Tiger Eyes," based on Judy Blume's eponymous best-seller and opening June 7, teenage Davey (Willa Holland) has to contend with her father's death, her mother's depression and a move from New Jersey suburbia to the New Mexican desert. She knows no one and is the only Jew in her high school class. Tough times teach her stirring life lessons. Director Laurence Blume handles his mother's carefully crafted and somewhat sentimental script with sensitivity. This is good family film to see with teen daughters.
Opening June 7
"Violet and Daisy," in contrast, is a pulpy shoot 'em up film that casts two teenage females (Alexis Bledel and Saoirse Ronan) as New York-based assassins who play patty cake, buy teenybopper garb and target their mark, the hapless Michael (James Gandolfini). Writer/director Geoffrey Fletcher's violent and quirky first feature, an homage to Quentin Tarantino, is as brutal as his Oscar-winning screenplay for "Precious," but also radically different. The film is an engaging genre mix and the performances are good. But do we really want to embrace this sort of fantasy about young women? Up to you.
"Passion," co-scripted by Nathalie Carter and based on the French film, "Crimes d'Amour," presents two excessively ambitious women (Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace) with professional prowess in an all-out war of one-upMANship.
Oft-deemed misogynistic director Brian da Palma's vision is passionately stylish, but ultimately heartless in its representation of women's wiles, smarts and approach to professional advancement.
"Wish You Were Here" is a tourist-goes-missing-in-paradise thriller, co-scripted by Felicity Price, who also stars in the film. Despite the story taking several unexpected and intriguing turns, the film is so plot-heavy that it becomes confusing, even tedious. But the exotic jungle and beach scenery sure is nice for a rainy day.
"Much Ado About Nothing," Shakespeare's exquisitely entertaining comedy, becomes an equally engaging and rarely sophisticated modern romcom through the loving lens of director Joss Whedon. He holds true to the Bard's original text and intention, but adds contemporary comedic shenanigans that make the poetry and plot perfectly accessible to audiences at large. It is shot in classic black and white and the acting ensemble is superb.
Opening June 10
"Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer" is a gripping and significant documentary about three Russian feminist punk rock artists -- Nadia, Masha and Katia -- who were arrested and sentenced to seven years in prison for staging a performance inside Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior. The performance satirizes Putin's close relationship to the Orthodox Church and its repressive impact on Russian politics and lifestyle. While documenting the women's trial and appeal, the film shows the women to be smart, articulate, sophisticated and dedicated. They are heroic agents for change in still authoritarian Russia and with the international movement that's sprung up to support them. Archival footage of their performances proves these women to be wicked talented, too. This film is a must.
Opening June 12
"More Than Honey" is another important, enlightening documentary. Co-written by Kristen Hoppenhaus, it is an in depth investigation of the current honeybee colony crisis that threatens to curtail crop cultivation across the United States and around the world. This is the most comprehensive bee colony crisis documentary to date, revealing the miraculous nature of bees, as well as the probable causes and certain consequences of their death and disappearance by the hundreds of thousands. The film's extraordinary photography takes you into human-constructed and naturally formed hives, and experts comment about the difference between domesticated and "killer" honeybees. It's fascinating.
Stay tuned for previews of movies opening during the second half of June, from June 14 to 28, including "The Bling Ring," Sofia Coppola's latest venture, and "The Attack," about an Arab Israeli woman who dies in a suicide bombing -- perhaps by her own hand.
In addition to covering film for Women's eNews, Jennifer Merin writes about documentaries for About.com and is president of the Alliance of Women Film Journalists, a nonprofit organization of the leading female film journalists in the U.S. and Canada.

Condominium sales in October were the best since 2007 and prices for previously owned units stayed in positive territory all year, up 4.4 percent over last year to date and 17.8 percent higher than last October. If rumors of an easing of FHA condominium standards are true, and non-FHA underwriters follow suit as they usually do, the condominium market will rapidly return to health.
The number for sale is headed for 1,600, the lowest number since early 2008.
68 percent ... more condominiums sold in October '12 than in October '11 - most since November 2007

January 12, 2006
After the fog cleared, today warmed up to a high of close to eighty degrees. It's hard to believe it's January, temperatures are 20 degrees above normal, and no one is complaining.
No one in the park is letting this day get away.
"Loving it, it's fabulous," said Amy Lonergan.
"This week has been absolutely gorgeous and it's perfect to get out in the park and run around," said Melissa Jadick.
With temperatures in the 70's, mom's workout, kids play and puppies chew, all because of a southern weather treat.
"This doesn't even feel like January, not at all. But I love it. I love Augusta for this reason," said Carol Mulherin.
News 12 Meteorologist Adam Clark says temperatures are 20 degrees above normal.
"It's basically a zonal pattern, it's been blocking any northern winds and keeping us exceptionally mild," Clark said.
That mild weather meant some sleeveless shirts today.
For one little girl, it was warm enough to get wet. But, enjoy the weather now because this won't be permanent.
"There's always the possibility that February and into March we get a good shot of cold air and even the possibility of snow," Clark said.
The warm weather will leave us as early as this weekend. Temperatures are expected to be near freezing, but good news it should warm up again next week.

Former Marine guards Calif. school
HUGHSON, Calif. -- A former Marine applauded for voluntarily showing up to guard a central California elementary school apparently misrepresented his service history.
Craig Pusley showed up for a second day of guard duty Thursday at Hughson Elementary School but departed mid-morning as questions arose about his military background.
On Wednesday, Pusley told the Modesto Bee he was a sergeant in the Marine Reserves and had deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.
But Marines spokesman Captain Gregory A. Wolf said Pusley never served overseas and was discharged in 2008 as a private after serving less than a year. He also is not in the reserves.
Pusley did not respond to calls for comment from The Associated Press.

For some, voting Tuesday was a given.
"Need to. Everybody needs to vote today," said voter Theresa Dunham.
Many people are. The polls saw a steady stream of voters trickling in all day.
"We've had pretty heavy traffic in just about all of our precincts," said Lansing City Clerk Chris Swope.
Swope says turnout Tuesday was lower than 2008, but higher than the August primary. Even so, he says it's going more smoothly.
"Even with the bigger turnout, the electronic poll book is working a lot better," he said.
"The one machine was stuck but that was easy," said voter Brenda Kyriakou. "They just figured it out."
Voters we walked to--whether Republican, Democrat, or somewhere in between are passionate about what's at stake in this election, and that's what brought them to the polls.
"I can't very well say what's going on around me or complain if I don't get out there and vote," said Kyriakou. "If you wanna really know, we got to get the Republicans back in the house."
"I think we need Virg Bernero," said voter Julie Reed.
Reed says Bernero's poll numbers don't discourage her--they motivate her.
"Actually that's why I made sure I came out because he's behind and I wanted to make sure my vote got counted," he said.
And to make sure they have a voice.
"Michigan has got to change," said Dunham. "I'm a small business owner, and it's time for a change."
"I work 13-hour-days, five days a week and then I work one day in the weekend," said voter Eric Johns. "I would like to work eight-hour-days and be able to survive and make it on that."

Man threatens deputy who arrested him
Published: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 7:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, February 17, 2013 at 7:14 p.m.
A Spartanburg man who was arrested on a disorderly conduct charge threatened to kill the deputy who arrested him Saturday.
David Allen Addington, 49, of 850 Dan River Road, was charged with disorderly conduct, threatening a public employee and resisting arrest, according to online jail records.
An incident report states that deputies responded to Addington's home for a disturbance. Addington smelled of alcohol and appeared to take a "fighting" stance with deputies when they arrived. He was loud and argumentative and cursed at the officers, according to the report.
After being handcuffed, Addington resisted deputies' efforts to get him into a patrol car. At one point, he tried to get in a deputy's face as if to spit on him, the report states.
While enroute to the jail, Addington told a deputy that he was going to shoot him and kill him when he got out of jail, the report states.
Addington remained at the Spartanburg County Detention Facility on Sunday on a $2,412 bond.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Friday, April 26, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Most every parent with a teenager knows what it feels like to watch the clock and wait for curfew. Even if you trust your child, there are a lot of teens you don't trust. There are also a lot of temptations and pressures, and a good kid can change their life in a second with one bad decision.
It can happen so quickly they might not even realize they are going down the wrong path with the wrong crowd until it's too late. That's why Keona Cooper, a freshman at A.R. Johnson, chooses her friends wisely.
"The people you hang out with now either make you or break you," she told us when we met her recently at the Boys and Girls Club of the CSRA. She wants to make sure her future stays in tact.
News 12's Israel Butler wants to help. He doesn't just spend time in a news studio. He logs a lot of hours in the music studio, too, and knows all too well the pressures teens face. Butler wrote some rap lyrics after we began investigating our area's gang problem. He hopes his words can be part of the solution.
Experts say gangs are now in every single school in our area, meaning every single child in our area could be at risk.
The music stopped for Reihn "Dre" Jennings almost four years ago. He's serving time in a South Carolina prison for drugs.
"Once he just gave in and was like there's no purpose in fighting this, I'd say four or five months later, he was gone," said Destiny Holloway.
Holloway felt powerless as she slowly figured out her brother was quickly getting sucked into gang life.
"You're not going to tell your family about it because you think, 'What if my family tries to get me out and they come after my family? Now what do I do?'"
From the beginning, Jennings hid it all. Then, came the ending.
"Bulletproof vest people everywhere, K9 dogs, a U-Haul with a bunch of people in the back cuffed, and we just see him sitting there, cuffed. And we're like, 'Oh my God.'"
Holloway felt powerless yet again.
Meredith: "You just drove up on this?"
Holloway: "Yes, because we were going to check on him."
Jennings' family checked on him often just about every day once they suspected a gang was after him to join.
"It could be anybody's kid. It could be my kid. It could be your kid. Anybody. All they have to do is catch them at the right time, and all it has to have is "teen" at the end of the age, and that's the right time."
But Holloway was wrong when she thought there might be help. She and her mother asked police officers, deputies and anyone who would listen for advice on how to pull Jennings out before he was in too deep.
She said no one said a word.
"But the minute they do something bad, all those people that you asked for help are right there, ready to cart them on off. Oh well. You should have raised them. We've heard that, too."
Holloway says she and her family did their best to keep him away from gang life and stayed involved in his life. She believes it takes more than a family to raise a child.
"Maybe a scared straight program. Maybe something in the community saying 'Hey, we care about you. We care about what happens to you, because if you succeed, we all succeed.'"
Jennings needs to succeed.
He has a 4-year-old son who's counting on him and a family terrified he'll follow in his father's footsteps.
"The only thing we can do is do what we did with the first one and stay on him and make sure they're doing this and make sure they're here and make sure they're there. That's all we could do. But it didn't work."
Maybe music will.
Butler used to rap with Jennings, but once they stopped making music, Jennings started hanging with the wrong crowd. Having something to do when he gets out of prison could point him in the right direction.
Jennings' story isn't unique. Unfortunately, it's the same story we keep hearing from the families of gang members, but they also mention a solution. They all say kids need something to do. They all say they need a positive environment.
They all mention the Boys and Girls Club.
When we went there, we didn't just interview the kids about why they are involved with the organization. Cooper told us she wanted to make new friends and better herself as a person.
We didn't just ask what they might be doing if they weren't here. Eighth grader Jordan Brown told us it keeps him out of trouble.
We took the time to give them something to do, to have fun with them and to make them a part of something positive.
We are putting the finishing touches on the music video right now, and we can't wait to share it with you. Look for it soon on wrdw.com. We hope it inspires you to also lend a hand and share your talents with our youth any way you can.

PLEASANTON -- A former commander in the Pinole Police Department and his wife have been charged with trying to defraud an 82-year-old Pleasanton woman, police said Friday.
Matthew Messier, 36, of Pleasanton, was charged with several crimes, including four counts of elder abuse. Pleasanton police said Messier and his wife, 30-year-old Elizabeth Regalado, tried to defraud the victim by placing her entire estate into a trust they controlled.
Police arrested Messier at his home Friday but are still trying to locate Regalado. Messier remains at Santa Rita Jail on $322,500 bail.
Messier also was charged with three counts of attempted grand theft, two counts of registering a fraudulent document, one count of criminal conspiracy and one count of practicing law without a license. Regalado has been charged with one count of criminal conspiracy.
Police said the investigation began in July when Messier was still serving as a commander with the Pinole police. Pinole police Chief John Hardester said Messier, who had been with the department since 2001, resigned his position Oct. 23 but declined further comment.
According to police, Messier used his position within the department to gain the victim's trust, after which the victim put her entire estate into a trust fund controlled by Messier and Regalado.
"There was no real smoking gun. This is a case of detectives sifting through mounds of documents," Pleasanton police Sgt. Kurt Schlehuber said. "It's a paperwork case."
Messier was perhaps best known in the department for his work on a double-homicide in 2005 that stemmed from a deep-rooted war between rival gang members.
He also was a popular figure within the Pinole Historical Society. Messier gave two presentations to the group on the city's police history "and drew very large crowds both times," historical society vice president Jeff Rubin said.
Messier also collected memorabilia and artifacts related to the department's history, some of which are on display at the Pinole Library.
"Other than his involvement with the historical society, I didn't really know him well," Rubin said. "I had an idea something was up, because he just sort of disappeared (from the historical scene) without warning."
Anyone with information about Regalado's whereabouts or the case can contact Pleasanton police at 925-931-5100 and reference Case 12-26567.

Press Release: John G. Riley Museum
The 2nd Infantry Regiment U.S. Colored Troops (USCT) Reenactment Unit & Living History Association provides a historic flair for opening day of Legislative Session
Members of the 2nd Infantry Regiment United States Colored Troops (USCT) Reenactment Unit and Living History Association will bring history to life during opening day of the 115th Legislative Session, in commemoration of the 150-year anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. The USCT Reenactment Unit will provide the ceremonial presentation of colors on Tuesday, March 5th beginning at 9:30 a.m. in the chambers of the Florida Capitol. Tuesday's opening session will culminate with an insightful exhibit in the Capitol Rotunda entitled, "A Route in Search of Roots" highlighting the significant role of African Americans in the Civil War and in shaping 500-years of Florida history in cooperation with this year's Viva Florida statewide commemoration. All members of the USCT Reenactment Unit will be adorned in late nineteenth century period attire for the days' events. The exhibit will be on display until shortly after the reading of the Resolution in the Senate Chambers at 2:00pm.
The mission of the USCT Reenactment Unit & Living History Association is to protect, preserve, promote, educate and honor the presence of African Americans in Civil War battles and their significant involvement in the fight for freedom. The unit also plays an active role of increasing awareness about historic events, such as the emancipation of enslaved persons and the abolition of colonial slavery following the American Civil War. Through reenactment events, such as Florida's first reading of President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation at the local Knott House museum, the organization is able to significantly preserve black history and culture throughout the State of Florida.
The USCT is an affiliate of the Florida African American Heritage Preservation Network (FAAHPN), Tuesday's appearance was initiated by Representative Alan Williams, an avid supporter of the unit and the FAAHPN's efforts to teach and preserve the untold stories about the contributions of African-Americans throughout history. "I am honored to have the USCT troops participate in the opening day of the 2013 Legislative Session," said Williams. "The USCT unit plays a central part and has a rightful place in Florida and American history. The acceptance of the Black solider had a major impact in determining the outcome of several historic battles."
The FAAHPN is a professional association organized in 2001 to serve as an informational and technical assistance resource in response to a growing interest in preserving Florida's African American culture, that of the African Diaspora and that of other related ethnically diverse historic resources globally. In addition to producing high-quality statewide publications that promote tourism and economic development, the Florida Network was selected to serve as the state's partner in promoting the significance of the African Diaspora and other notable contributions of African Americans throughout Florida's 500-year history during the 2013 Statewide Viva Florida commemoration.

"He Haunts Us Still...."
There's a lot of things wrong with the Ottawa Senators right now but some things are easier fixed than others.
And now it's time to fix Martin Gerber. No more excuses.
First it was Ray Emery who was somehow unfairly pushing him for playing time. Then it was John Paddock pulling him in a long ago forgotten game, destroying his "confidence".
Both of those roadblocks were removed from Gerber's career. He has had massive support among the fanbase and the media in Ottawa. Everyone loves this guy, rain or shine and he has been given every opportunity in the world despite the fact that he continues to lose, year after year.
But now the damage he has done to the organization has hit the terminal point.
He has become a classic example of a media constructed legend. If they keep saying he's a number one goalie, eventually everyone will believe it, regardless of the reality.
And now a question to his legions of fans and apologists who no doubt will turn their minds inside out to dredge up more half-cocked excuses for his play: Are you fans of the Ottawa Senators or are you fans of Martin Gerber? It's a valid question because the two entities are increasingly becoming polarized.
Should the goals of the organization be put aside so they can continue this exhausting charade of trying to reward the "good guy"?
Will Bryan Murray really risk his job going to the wall for Martin Gerber? Will Hartsburg?
How long before everyone realizes that they've been strolling through a Potemkin Village?

I didn't have a chance to catch last night's game..... Gerbs let in some weak goals again, I trust?

Nothing is to be gained by pinning all the Sens' woes on Martin Gerber. The whole team is struggling--forwards aren't producing goals, the defencemen are pathetic, and overall the team shows lack of effort and heart. This is not a team that is playing to win. Something is VERY wrong with these guys. Stillman had to be laughing his head off, having lived with the team problems last year,knowing exactly what these players are like, and able to use his knowledge and underappreciated skill to produce a goal and an assist against them!!

I'm with you Jeremy ~ Gerbage is terrible, gass him already.
More importantly, I would love to gass Bryan Murray. He has ruined our franchise since he was promoted to GM. FIRE MURRAY FIRE MURRAY!!
- October 23, 2008 at 9:17 AM
I agree--Murray is responsible for this debacle. It's time he got out.
- October 23, 2008 at 1:01 PM
Look, you can say that hes not the only reason they arent a contender. Thats totally reasonable Because the teams problems run deeper than gerber. But the fact remains that hes lost them 2 games of six which is pretty undisputable. Confidence in your goaltender is so important and its a great place to start for a team that has trouble getting pucks out of its zone. Sure they need another puck moving defensman but they wont win any games with the way gerbers playing. He actually made some strides last season, but so far hes gone completely in the opposite direction. Ive gave him the benefit of the doubt until the start of this season, but this definately doesnt look good. START AULD DAMN IT... Why wouldnt the team struggle with a bad goaltender.

Unwed Couples, Are You Financially Compatible?
What's the one financial tip you'd give to young couples who live together but aren't married?
LARRY ZIMPLEMAN: We all know from the statistics on divorce that money is the No. 1 reason couples break up. So, that means that the one financial tip young couples living together should focus on is whether they have a shared sense of their financial priorities. Do they have the same views on saving? Same view on what their monthly budget should look like? If there are meaningful differences in views on these financial issues, the likelihood that the relationship can be sustained is less.
Larry D. Zimpleman is chairman, president and chief executive of Principal Financial Group.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Monday, Jan. 21, 2013
MARTINEZ, Ga. (WRDW) -- Four churches all along Old Petersburg Road and the sign to a baseball field were hit.
The pastor of Bible Fellowship Church is concerned, but not for his property.
"What we're more concerned about than our property and our sign is that person," said Pastor Randy Byrd.
It's an uncharacteristic response after the sign to their church was tainted with blue spray paint.
"We think maybe it was somebody that had a vendetta because the logo on the sign itself actually was written in such a way, and we studied this, that it meant 'abort Christ,'" he said.
Hurtful and blasphemous words on a church sign, but Pastor Byrd says the message he got out of it is very different.
"It tells me, ma'am, that somebody's hurting. Hurt people, hurt people," he explained.
Three other churches along Old Petersburg Road and the Kelley Park sign were all splattered with the blue paint with different messages on each one.
"On ours it says 'serve the servants' and next door on the church, I think it says something like 'are you safe?'" explained Central Church of Christ Pulpit Minister Scott Patterson.
Now church members are using spray paint of their own to return the sign to normal.
"Little frustrated, but you kind of feel sorry for the person that would feel whatever they feel and want to act out in this manner," Patterson said.
The Lutheran Church was quick to remove theirs, but on their white preschool sign, the vandals spelled out the words "abort Christ."
The symbol representing the same thing was plastered on their next-door neighbor.
The vandalism on Bible Fellowship Church's sign is gone now, but you can see where they've scrubbed to get the blue spray paint off the textured surface.
While the pastor says it was just a little paint, vandalism on a house of worship is a felony.
Despite that, Pastor Byrd says he doesn't want to get whoever did this in trouble.
In fact, he wants quite the opposite.
"Somebody asked me would you like to get back at them. No. I'd like to find out if they're OK, and what's the problem," Byrd said.
These churches are all within a mile of each other, and they've each had little things like lights broken or fountains toppled over before.
Byrd thinks the spray paint vandalism happened sometime between 11 p.m. Sunday and 7 a.m. Monday.
If the person is caught, he or she will face up to five years in jail.

I've known PS3MS's inablility to transcode videos with non-unicode filenames.
No matter which engine I use, non-unicode filenames always produced errors.
Now I have some files (named in Korean) that I don't want to rename to English because it's awkward.
And their format is such that transcoding is necessary.
Is there a workaround besides renaming?

The state police fire marshal will be contacted to investigate the cause of a Monday fire that damaged a part-time log cabin home in Timothy Lake North Outdoor World in Bushkill.
No was injured in the blaze. The New York family who owns the cabin, one of 360 such vacation/weekend cabin homes in Outdoor World located off Timothy Lake Road North, was not there at the time.
"They were about to come up for Thanksgiving weekend, but I guess this changes their plans," said Tom Severino, Outdoor World facility supervisor for renovations and maintenance.
Severino was working near the cabin at about noon Monday when he saw smoke rising.
"I thought it was somebody burning leaves at first," he said. "When I got closer, I saw the grass on fire and then it spread to the cabin. Then, the propane tank exploded and flames were shooting 20 feet in the air. The whole cabin was engulfed."
Bushkill and Marshalls Creek volunteer fire companies arrived, along with Marshalls Creek Ambulance and Pennsylvania American Water Company.
Outdoor World offers an indoor water park and outdoor pool along with the getaway cabins.

J.C. Penney Slumps Again; Analysts Question Credibility
It's getting ugly for J.C. Penney shares.
The stock took another dive on Friday, falling by more than 10% after the struggling retailer late Thursday raised almost $1 billion by selling stock. The move enables J.C. Penney to boost its cash cushion ahead of what's expected to be a difficult holiday season.
The stock offering of 84 million shares priced at a 7.4% discount to the retail's closing price on Thursday and was a big contributor to the surge in J.C. Penney's trading volume Friday morning. More than 120 million shares changed hands within the first hour of trading. That tally is almost four times the amount of shares that normally trade throughout an entire day, according to FactSet.
The department store chain is seeing some improvement in sales but is still facing concerns from creditors, who worry that the retailer's road ahead is uncertain. Earlier this week, the credit research group at Goldman Sachs offered a downbeat view of the retailer's prospects, saying weak performance could put pressure on its available cash.
Those concerns continue to weigh on the shares, which are down more than 50% this year and trade at a 13-year low. J.C. Penney's market capitalization of about $2 billion makes it the smallest company in the S&P 500 by stock-market value.
"The underlying reasons for this sudden need for expensive capital, the damage to JCP's credibility, and the more challenging than expected consumer environment all pose threats to the pace of JCP's recovery," says David Glick, retail analyst at Buckingham Research Group. He downgraded his J.C. Penney rating to neutral from buy and slashed his price target to $10 from $20.
Even though J.C. Penney's near-term liquidity risk has significantly diminished based on Thursday's announcement to raise capital, he says any substantial upside for the retailer has "diminished considerably."
"We are concerned about investor backlash given JCP's public announcement of the equity offering just after JCP's public commentary (as reported by the financial press) indicating that they do not see conditions for the rest of the year where JCP would need to raise capital," Mr. Glick says.
The company is working to overcome a year and a half under former Chief Executive Ron Johnson, the onetime Apple executive who cut back discounts and did away with some popular house brands without first testing the moves. That drove away shoppers and sent the company into the red.
, who returned to the helm of Penney in the spring, has brought back formerly banished coupons and promotions, and is stocking more of the house brands that the retailer was known for, including the apparel labels Worthington and St. John's Bay. He also is trying to rework the chain's home departments after a revamp planned by Mr. Johnson failed to catch on.
"We believe JCP has been burned by the effects of a failed turnaround strategy, which has created a hole that is just too deep," says Paul Lejuez, senior analyst at Wells Fargo Securities.

A wave of frigid weather that lingered over Summit County this past weekend kept local churches and auto repair shops busy as people struggled to deal with the three-day cold snap.
The temperature bottomed out somewhere in the negative teens or 20s with some reports of readings as low as -30 degrees. Alamosa reached -34 degrees Sunday night, according to the National Weather Service.
The weather generated business for local auto repair shops over the weekend. Across the county, cars stalled out with dead batteries and flooded injectors.
Ski Country Shell and Towing co-owner Jeff Lewark said he's fielded between 30-50 temperature-related calls for service over the course of the last few days.
"What really compounds it for us at this elevation is the combination of the cold temperatures and thin air," said Lewark, who noted that the conditions can cause cars to flood injectors with fuel keeping the engine from starting.
Other local mechanics reported an increase in requests for winter wipers, fluid and tires as the mercury dropped.
"We always have a lot of tire-related stuff with freezing temperatures," said Sergio Alvarez, manager of Big-O Tires in Frisco. "People are sliding, so we're recommending a lot more snow tires."
Alvarez said as much as a fourth of his business has been related to the cold weather over the last few days.
Local churches have also seen an increase in business in recent days as more of Summit County's homeless come looking for assistance in finding respite from the cold.
Father Dyer United Methodist Church uses discretionary funding to provide hotel rooms for individuals in need.
"We've seen it pick up in the last three weeks," pastor Loren Boyce said. "When it's cold like this it's hard for me to turn them away."
Five people came to the church looking for temporary lodging on Monday alone, including one individual who said he had found shelter in a local carport that protected him from the snow, but without walls, did nothing against this weekend's bitter cold.
Aside from a single electrical fire, there were no serious emergencies caused by the temperature drop this weekend, but officials say they likely won't see the worst of the damage until the weather warms up again.
"We don't see the results of hard freezes until it thaws again," Lake Dillon Fire-Rescue spokesman Steve Lipsher said. "That's when the pipes start bursting."
For most local residents, however, the cold weather is an inconvenience more than anything, making ski runs and other outdoor plans less comfortable.
"The SHS alpine team raced Friday night in brutal conditions at Keystone," Frisco resident Luke Wignall told the Daily in an email Monday. "Standing for hours taking hand times for each racer left me with toes still numb today. Meanwhile the kids were waiting their turn in their speed suits. Talk about athletes!"
The temperature is expected to top out in the mid-teens in Frisco today, but forecasts for the rest of the week call for sunshine and warmer weather. Highs could reach 32 degrees by Friday, according to the National Weather Service.

PI Name: BLOCK, GLADYS
Project Title: Gender Obesity C-Reactive Protein and Oxidative Stress
Abstract: DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objective of this project is to identify nutritional factors that can lower C-reactive protein and lipid peroxidation. C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation, has been shown to be "remarkably consistent" in its association with cardiovascular disease, as well as with diabetes and other conditions. Oxidative damage biomarkers have been associated with the etiology of numerous disease conditions, including atherosclerosis, diabetes, COPD and others. Both CRP and lipid oxidation have been shown to have a direct (not correlational) effect on vascular and other tissues, including effects on smooth muscle contractility, induction of intercellular and vascular cell adhesion molecules, enhancement of complement activation, and other mechanisms. We hypothesize that some of the harmful effects of obesity, and of post-menopausal status, are attributable to fat induced CRP and lipid oxidation. We propose to test whether antioxidant supplements can lower CRP and lipid oxidation. In a previous randomized trial we found that antioxidant supplementation significantly lowered CRP and lipid peroxidation. That study also found higher baseline CRP and lipid peroxidation in women compared to men, and in obese persons compared to those of normal weight. The previous intervention study did not measure body fat (except as BMI), assess menopause status, or intervene on persons who neither smoked nor were passively exposed. We now propose a study in nonsmokers, to test whether antioxidant supplements can lower CRP and oxidative damage. In the baseline data prior to intervention, we will determine whether the higher oxidation and CRP in women and overweight persons can be confirmed in persons with no smoke exposure, after adjustment for covariates. We will conduct a randomized placebo-controlled trial to test the following specific aims: 1. To determine whether antioxidant supplementation can lower C-reactive protein (CRP) and lipid peroxidation. 1a. To determine whether one antioxidant is significantly more effective than the other. 1b. To determine whether treatment effects differ by gender or body fat 2. To determine whether there are gender or body fat differences in baseline CRP or in baseline lipid peroxidation, in nonsmokers, independent of other covariates. 2a. In women, to determine whether postmenopausal status is associated with higher baseline CRP or lipid peroxidation, after control of covariates.

Genoa will host its 92nd Annual Candy Dance festival this weekend.
The festival will take place Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event will feature art, crafts, food, homemade candy, a dinner dance, a wine pavilion and child-friendly activities such as face painting, games and rides.
The Candy Dance Faire continues a tradition begun in 1919 by Genoa's women, led by Lillian Virgin Finnegan, to raise money to purchase street lights for the town. The women sold their homemade candy during the day and hosted a gourmet dinner and dancing in the evening. Today revenue from the event supports the majority of the town's operations and historic buildings.
Admission is free and parking will be available in designated lots for $5. For more information, call the Town of Genoa at 775-782-8696 and at www.genoanevada.org.
