Science is a fussy profession [1]
Mitchell Anderson [2] | April 17, 2007
By Mitchell Anderson [2] • Tuesday, April 17, 2007 - 12:52
Science is a fussy profession. For example, it is generally frowned on to not disclose your funding sources or conflicts of interest – and for good reason.
Take the recent study by Yale University, [3] which found that industry-funded studies of soft drinks are far less likely to find negative impacts. "Studies funded by the food industry simply did not find the degree of negative health effects from soft drinks that independent scholars discovered," said Kelly D. Brownell, director of the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale.
This type of peer-review and oversight is par-for-the-course in the scientific community. If the researcher is seen to be in any way biased, the research they produce is naturally suspect.
So why the free ride for climate skeptics in the media? The usual suspects who pop up regularly in the mainstream media are almost never questioned about their funding sources or industry affiliations.
Consider the curious case of Dr. Tim Ball. [4] He hasn't produced a peer reviewed scientific paper in over ten years but has certainly being busy writing in the mainstream media. Over the course of five years, Ball authoured over 70 op-ed pieces and letters to the editor in Canadian newspapers - all questioning mainstream climate science. In virtually all of those cases, he was identified in his by-line as a Ph.D. climatologist or a former professor at the University of Winnipeg.
That is until he sued the Calgary Herald for defamation. [5] It seems that Ball objected to the Herald publishing a letter to the editor from a practicing scientist who questioned Dr. Ball's credentials. Ball's suit sought $325,000 for among other things "damages to his income earning capacity as a sought after speaker with respect to global warming"
What a difference a lawsuit makes. In their statement of defence, the Calgary Herald, which is owned by Canwest Global, characterized the man whose op-eds they had chosen to publish eight times in five years as a "a paid promoter of the agenda of the oil and gas industry rather than as a practicing scientist."
They went on to say in their sworn statement to the court that Dr. Ball published few articles in academically recognized peer-reviewed scientific journals" and that he "has not conducted research regarding the relationship between climate and elements within the atmosphere".
Strangely that journalistic epiphany of full disclosure did not last long. Tim Ball's controversial op-eds have been published an additional eight times in Canwest papers since Ball sued the editors of the Calgary Herald in September 2006. In all of those cases, Ball was cited as a former professor at the University of Winnipeg.

The College of Wooster owns 30 on campus houses that are used to house upperclass students. Student apply to live in one of three different types of houses; Campus Program Houses, Charter Houses and Wooster Volunteer Network (WVN) Houses. Occupancy in houses ranges from 4 to 20+ students.
House Floor Plans
Floor plans (.pdf) for all college owned houses are now available online. Floor plans include the room number and the occupancy of the room. Square footage for specific rooms are not available.
Campus Program Houses
Campus Program Houses are groups of students connected by some student organization, on campus group or other on campus initiative and they provide programming or services to the College of Wooster Campus. One example of a previous Campus Program House is Common Grounds which serves as an on campus coffee shop completely run by students.
Charter Houses
Charter houses are historic programs with strong ties to minority constituencies on campus and in the community. The Men of Harambee and Women of Images are both Charter houses.
Wooster Volunteer Network (WVN) Houses
WVN houses work with the Wooster Volunteer Network to provide service to an outside agency in the greater Wooster Community. Each student is required to provide eight hours of service per month to that agency. 4 Paws For Ability where students help train service dogs is an example of a WVN House.

Eulogizing a close friend who is still happily alive
My friend and I had been estranged for some time over some trifling episode neither one of us can recall. It has always been a volatile relationship, one of those friendships so fundamentally aligned when it was going right that nothing was better and when it was wrong, nothing was worse.
So when it inevitably, episodically, sputtered, as it had recently, both of us were left furious and wanting.
All of that seemed rather foolish as I listened to my friend explain her condition, a disorder called fibromuscular dysplasia, or FMD. Researchers believe only about 5 percent of Americans have the condition, in which an abnormal collection of cells grows in an artery wall. Effectively, it means my friend is predisposed to developing an aneurysm, typically in her kidney, but just as possibly in her brain. Without treatment, the aneurysm could burst, killing her.
My friend called when she was days away from having brain surgery to stifle one of the aneurysms that had formed in her internal carotid artery. The idea of surgeons boring into my friend's skull left me with a horror so complete I feared she could sense it over the phone. What is it about bad news that the one hearing it reflexively tries to minimize even the most dire tidings?
"I'm sure there is something they can do," I said, neither sure nor sanguine, but frantic and apprehensive.
There was, she said. Surgeons would operate this week, threading a wire from her groin up through her major arteries into her brain. The hope was this wire would reach the aneurysm and obliterate it through a coiling method that sounded to me like trying to thread a needle through your car battery by way of the exhaust pipe.
"I want you to write my eulogy," she said. "You're the one who knows me best."
My friend was not simply afraid, but in a new, untrammeled emotional place where she stared her mortality in the face and had no time to shiver. This was not like the time where we sat on a beach off Cape Cod and wondered what heaven would be like. We no longer told ourselves it had frozen yogurt gushing out of the clouds like geysers or that paradise was rife with bowls and bowls of no-calorie pistachio nuts. We didn't argue if the soundtrack would be Lena Horne or Kiri TeKanawa or if the pianist would be Bill Evans or Murray Perahia. We were talking about her eulogy. We were talking about me delivering it.
My friend is 20 years older than I am and I suppose in the abstract we always knew we would both die and that one of us would go first. It was always something of a joke, like "When you get there, make sure they have Ben & Jerry's in stock or I'm making other plans."
But this diagnosis made dying not only authentic but specific. It meant we both had a pretty good idea of what would kill her and how. The idea that something was amiss with her brain somehow made the diagnosis worse for me. I don't know where the soul is, but I figure most of it skulks about in our skulls. And since that was the part of her I loved, my heart broke more than a little bit.
A recent Associated Press poll of baby boomers reported that the group believes old age starts at 70. Only 18 percent say they worry about death. Most of what they worry about is having enough money to fund their retirement.
But what I worry about now are the idiocies of lost time. I worry about the inanities of perceived slights and the misunderstandings of peremptory emails or flippant remarks. Surely if we love our friends, we trust them, even trusting them to make mistakes, just as we surely will. I find I never remember precisely what got my dander up, but only that my dander was up and stayed that way for far too long.
I am not a believer that great change happens overnight, with the epiphany-like slap we all want. Real personal growth is as much an erosion of intemperance as it is the acquisition of forbearance. Sometimes we need a nudge to be the people we want to be.
Nothing changed between my friend and I after her diagnosis except that I found I loved her more and doubted her less. I called her more and wasn't miffed when her returned calls were not as swift as I would have liked. She survived her brain surgery and likely will survive another.
Our friendship will survive as well, a little more mundane, a smidge less volatile. We are the friends we reach for when the inexplicable strikes.
Knowing our impairments has made death more real, but it has made life more real, a little frayed perhaps but that much more precious.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN -- For the third-consecutive season, the Lincoln Memorial University men's basketball team earned a bid to the field of 64 for the NCAA Tournament, as the 11th-ranked Railsplitters nabbed the No. 2 seed for the 2013 NCAA Southeast Regional Tournament. The NCAA Southeast Regional is poised to be held in Aiken, South Carolina March 16th through the 19th.
Lincoln Memorial garnered one of the 41 at-large bids for the NCAA Tournament after compiling a 24-5 mark through Sunday's South Atlantic Conference Tournament Championship. The Railsplitters won the SAC regular-season title but fell short in the tournament, as the three-seeded Wingate Bulldogs earned a 69-53 victory in the championship game to snap LMU's eight-game winning streak.
Prior to Sunday, the Railsplitters had been the top-ranked team in the southeast region poll for two-consecutive weeks, however, by virtue of Lincoln Memorial's loss in the championship game and USC Aiken's Peach Belt Conference tournament championship, the Pacers jumped the Railsplitters to take over the top spot. By taking over command of the No. 1 seed, USC Aiken (22-7) assumes hosting duties for the NCAA Southeast Regional, which is slated to get underway with the quarterfinal contests on March 16th.
The two-seeded Railsplitters are set to square off with UNC Pembroke, who grabbed the seven-seed after posting a 22-9 mark through Sunday's conference championship action. UNC Pembroke finished second in the east division of the Peach Belt with a 14-5 league mark. The Railsplitters and Braves have only one previous meeting between the two programs, as Lincoln Memorial swiped a 64-52 victory over Pembroke back on December 29, 2006 in that lone meeting.
As for the remainder of the quarterfinal contests, top-billed USC Aiken is set to square off against Belmont Abbey (22-9), who earned an automatic bid to the southeast regional after capturing the Conference Carolinas Tournament Championship on Saturday. The four-five matchup will pit South Atlantic Conference Tournament Champion Wingate (21-8) against Limestone (21-8), who earned one of the regions' at-large bids from Conference Carolinas. The final matchup will be No. 3 Barton (21-7) and NO. 6 Montevallo (20-9). Peach Belt foe Montevallo grabbed an at-large bid after falling in the tournament championship on Sunday. They are the defending Southeast Region champs.

Take note, ye honestly ambitious: we sing happily the praises of the righteous honest in our religious texts, but don't think we really believe that kind of "goodness" pays. The muses of the merry, happy "gooder" ones who rule us, George Washington, Abe Lincoln and Patrick Hamilton harmonize the tune we know speaks true truth. Liberty, freedom and independence are to be found by keeping the notes they grace us with -- the one, five and ten dollar bills -- close by the side. Disregard their song at your own pecuniary peril.

For a spectacular centerpiece, cut out these printable pieces and secure them end to end. A long dragon will appear before your eyes.
Watch Ni Hao, Kai-lan only on Nick Jr.
On card stock, print out the printable templates for the face, body, and tail pieces. Cut out the pieces, using the dotted lines as a guide.
Gently fold the green face along the solid line down the middle of the white eye. Try to crease the paper gently so as not to leave a seam. Then, cut along the curved dotted line, open the paper back up, and fold back the eye so it stands straight up.
Trim the plate by one inch, cutting around the edge. Have your preschooler color one side green with crayon. Fold the paper plate in half. Pick which side of the folded plate will be the top and attach the green semi-circle face so it matches up with the edges of the plate.
Glue or tape the ears onto the opposite sides of the face. Tape to the inside of the plate half, facing up.
Glue the eyes on top of the white semi-circles on the face. If using the pop-up option, attach the eyes to the front of the pop-up (see above).
Attach the nose just below the middle stripe on the face. Attach the tongue to the bottom of plate half, centered.
Attach the body and tail pieces together where indicated. Fold accordion style, from front to back, folding at each yellow ridge. You should have eight folds when you're done. Match up the top fold of the body to the back of the face plate and tape together so the tail extends directly behind the face. You're done!
To make your table topper into a puppet, simply poke two holes at the front of the body for your preschooler's fingers to poke through. For grown-ups: a pointy pencil should do the trick!

Heart Disease Health Center
Healthy Diet Helps Damaged Hearts
Dec. 5, 2012 -- It's never too late to start reaping the benefits of a heart-healthy diet.
A new study shows older people with established heart disease who ate the most heart-healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, and nuts had a much lower risk of dying or having another heart attack or stroke than those who ate the unhealthiest diet.
The study shows people who ate the most heart-healthy diet had a:
- 35% lower risk of heart or stroke-related death
- 14% lower risk of heart attack
- 28% lower risk of heart failure
- 19% lower risk of stroke
"It doesn't matter what type of medication you take, if you follow a healthy diet you will get benefits," says researcher Mahshid Dehghan, PhD, research associate at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. "Eating fruits and vegetables substantially reduces cardiovascular disease recurrence over and above medication alone."
Researchers say it's the first large, international study to show eating a heart-healthy diet can help prevent another heart attack and stroke in people already on medications to treat high blood pressure and unhealthy cholesterol levels.
Healthy Diet Better Than Drugs Alone
The study followed 31,546 adults ages 55 and older in 14 countries who were enrolled in two separate clinical trials of blood pressure-lowering medications. All of the people had a history of heart disease, stroke, peripheral arterial disease, or diabetes with organ damage. All of them were considered at high risk for heart attack, stroke, or other heart-related complication.
Researchers asked them about how often they ate foods like fruits, vegetables, grains, fish, meat, poultry, and dairy products in the past 12 months.
Diets were given an overall heart-healthy score based on how frequently people ate healthy foods like fruits and vegetables. Higher scores were also given to diets that included a higher amount of fish relative to meat, poultry, and eggs and those that included whole grains and fewer deep-fried foods.
During nearly five years of follow-up, 5,190 heart- or stroke-related problems were reported in the study.
The results showed those who ate the most heart-healthy diets had lower risk of heart disease, stroke, or death due to either condition compared to those who ate the most unhealthy diets, regardless of the type or combination of heart medications they took or their nationality, income level, age, or other heart disease risk factors.
Experts say many studies have already proven the benefits of eating a heart-healthy diet in preventing heart disease in healthy people.
But this study is noteworthy because it is the first major, international study to show heart-healthy diets also benefit those who are already on medication for existing heart disease.

It's not entirely clear what this Argentinian car lover is up to, but the leading theory is that he's desperately trying to prevent his prized possession from being damaged by a powerful hail storm that recently struck the coastal city of Mar del Plata.
Seems to me like he's not doing a very good job, but, then again, I'm not on PCP.

Jeremy Lin doesn't know if he will ever perform as well as he did during his charmed February with the New York Knicks last season. For now he is content to be a key contributor on his new team.
James Harden scored 33 points and Chandler Parsons had 31 to help the host Houston Rockets coast to a 131-103 victory over the Knicks on Friday. Lin added 13 points, seven rebounds and three assists in his first game against his previous team.
"I'm not looking to re-create what happened in New York," said Lin, who has been in a slump. "I want to be a consistent player. I want to get better. I don't know what my potential is. I don't know if I can play any better than I did during that stretch, but I'm going to find out to see how close I can get."
Nets 86, Clippers 76: Brook Lopez had 26 points, including consecutive baskets during the decisive stretch, and host Brooklyn shut down Los Angeles in the fourth quarter.
Brooklyn outscored Los Angeles 23-13 during a final period in which Clippers star point guard Chris Paul had no points, one assist, two turnovers and six fouls. Blake Griffin also was scoreless in the fourth.
Grizzlies 106, Lakers 98: Rudy Gay scored 21 points, and host Memphis beat Los Angeles to take the NBA's best record (9-2).
The Lakers have lost all four road games this season and their second straight with new coach Mike D'Antoni on the bench.
Trail Blazers 103, Timberwolves 95: Wesley Matthews had 30 points and rookie Damian Lillard (Oakland High) had a career-high 28 points and eight assists as host Portland sent Minnesota to its fourth straight defeat.
Jazz 104, Kings 102: Gordon Hayward scored 23 points, including the winning basket with 4.5 seconds left, and visiting Utah rallied to beat Sacramento.
Celtics 108, Thunder 100: Paul Pierce scored 22 of his 27 points in the second half and host Boston beat Oklahoma City.
Spurs 104, Pacers 97: Tony Parker scored 33 points and San Antonio erased a 17-point deficit on its way to a victory in Indianapolis.
Hawks 101, Bobcats 91: Al Horford had 26 points and 13 rebounds as Atlanta won in Charlotte, N.C., for its fourth consecutive victory.

STANFORD -- Andrea Petkovic was almost sorry about beating Venus Williams in the Bank of the West Classic quarterfinals Friday. Almost.
The engaging 26-year-old German was empathetic that she denied Bay Area tennis fans the possibility of a blockbuster -- an all-Williams sisters semifinal -- by outlasting Venus 6-1, 3-6, 7-5. She didn't blame them for the almost total lack of support she received during her victory while Williams received loud cheers for every winning point at Taube Family Tennis Center.
"I thought they hated me," Petkovic said. "Well, not hated me, they were just loving Venus obviously more and they wanted her to win more. I totally understood where they were coming from, because I would want a Venus-Serena semifinal myself as a tennis fan. But as a tennis player, I wanted myself to win."
But at least there was a consolation prize for fans and tournament organizers -- they received a fabulous match between top seed Serena Williams and fifth seed Ana Ivanovic in the late quarterfinal, and world No. 1 Serena is still alive after a gritty 2-6, 6-3, 7-5 victory before a packed house.
Without question, an all-Williams would have been one of the most anticipated matches in the long, illustrious history of this Bay Area event. It would have been the 25th meeting of the two sisters, arguably the greatest pair of siblings in sports history, and who knows? It might have set up as their last. After all, they've met only once in the past five years.
"I saw most of the match," said Serena of Venus' tough loss, which was eerily similar to her own except with a positive result. "I wish she could have pulled it through."
Instead, there's a new party-pooper challenge for Petkovic, ranked 18th in the world and seeded eighth here. She can become just the eighth woman to beat the Williams sisters in the same tournament when she plays Serena in an afternoon semifinal Saturday. No. 3 seed Angelique Kerber of Germany and unseeded Varvara Lepchenko meet in the evening semifinal.
For her part, Venus said Petkovic might have the capability to give Serena a battle, but there was little question that the elder Williams felt she gave away her match with 10 double faults and numerous unforced errors, a dispiriting about-face from her stirring straight-sets victory over Victoria Azarenka on Thursday night.
That said, Venus nearly pulled it out after an abominable first set in which she won just nine total points. Down 2-0 in the second set, she suddenly came alive to break Petkovic three times to win 6-3 and appeared to have the momentum when a seesaw third set was deadlocked at 5-5.
But Petkovic gathered herself, took a 6-5 lead with a love service game, then won four of five points on Williams' serve to take the match.
Venus seemed disappointed in herself that a possible meeting with Serena had been dashed.
"(Petkovic) played well, but I was not as on today as I was in previous days," Williams said.
The night match also came down to the final two games after Ivanovic staged two valiant comebacks to get back on serve in the third after being broken in the first and ninth games. After drawing even at 5-5 with a return break of Williams, Serena finally took over with a late burst of brilliance, breaking the Serbian's serve yet again and then drilling two aces while holding her own serve to close out the match.
Those aces were the most critical of her 10, because they helped offset eight double faults.
"I didn't get a lot first serves in (just 46 percent for the match), but I was going to keep hitting it and hopefully it would come through and it did," Serena said. "It definitely came through in that last game."
Ivanovic thought she let Williams off the hook.
"It's unfortunate the way it ended, but she's a great player," said Ivanovic, who tweaked a nerve in her hip late in the second set, which she said affected her the rest of the match. "She did what she had to do. It was an exciting match."
Kerber beat Garbine Mugurua 6-2, 6-1, while Lepchenko, who knocked off No. 2 seed Agnieszka Radwanska in the second round, ousted 19-year-old American qualifier Sachia Vickery 6-1, 6-0.

When George Strunk returned to the Pocono Mountain School Board on Wednesday, he said he did it because he was asked to come back.
Strunk said he attended his first meeting in almost six months "at the behest of the board" as he exited the meeting Wednesday.
Strunk took an excused leave of absence from the board in June to deal with the legal issues stemming from his May arrest.
State police arrested Strunk and charged him with aggravated assault in connection with an attack on his brother-in-law and wife.
Strunk has maintained his innocence and faces a yet-to-be determined court date on the charges.
He said he is not yet returning to his board positions at the Pocono Mountains Municipal Airport Authority and the Pocono Mountains Economic Development Corporation.
"In time," he said.
Strunk said he would not comment on any part of his legal issues.

November 09, 2012
Business and enterprise minister Michael Fallon has warned big businesses that they will be publicly named if they fail to sign up to the Prompt Payment Code, a voluntary agreement to promote good payment practices.
The minister has written to all FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 companies. The letter urges companies to sign up to the code and warns that the names of any companies that fail to do so will be publicised in the new year.
Michael Fallon said: "Late payment causes real cash flow problems for entrepreneurs. It stops them from growing their business – we need to change the culture.
"Too many of our biggest companies are ignoring the Prompt Payment Code," he added. "My message to them is clear – make prompt payment a priority or face the consequences of being named. I'm confident that driving up support for the common sense principles in the code will have a very positive effect."
The Institute of Credit Management's Code demonstrates a commitment to good practice, and signatories are obliged to pay their supplier within an agreed time and to make sure there is a proper process for any issues that may arise.
Currently 1,182 companies are signed up to the Prompt Payment Code. However, only 27 FTSE 100 companies and five FTSE 250 companies are signatories.
Phil Orford, chief executive of the Forum of Private Business (FPB), said: "All too often we see a 'domino effect' of late payment right down the supply chain. It decimates cash flow and forces many firms into administration – so it is important that we do whatever it takes to reverse this trend and set in motion a culture of prompt payment for small businesses and the economy as a whole."
All signatories to the Prompt Payment Code are already publicly available online, but the government wants to be more proactive in highlighting companies that are not committed to the code.
The Prime Minister has already written to FTSE 100 companies to encourage take up of this initiative, which could deliver up to as much as £20 billion of new cheaper finance to their suppliers, including many UK SMEs.

JFK's image shines on despite contradictions
In this July 25, 1960 file photo , Sen. John F. Kennedy, D-Mass., sits with wife, Jacqueline, as she reads to their daughter, Caroline, at Hyannis Port, Mass. (AP Photo) by Hillel ItalieAssociated Press Writer BOSTON (AP) — Four days a week, David O'Donnell leads a 90-minute "Kennedy Tour" around Boston that features stops at government buildings, museums, hotels and meeting halls. Tour-goers from throughout the United States and abroad, who may see John F. Kennedy as inspiration, martyr or Cold War hero, hear stories of his ancestors and early campaigns, the rise of the Irish in state politics, the odd fact that Kennedy was the only president outlived by his grandmother. Yet at some point along the tour, inevitably, questions from the crowd shift from politics to gossip.

Pass offense
Carson Palmer completed 39 of 61 passes for 414 yards and four touchdowns -- three in the fourth quarter as the Raiders climbed within 35-32 after trailing 35-17. However, Palmer wasn't in sync with Denarius Moore and threw a killer an interception, and then another when the game was decided. He had three picks in all.
Grade: C-plus
Run offense
The loss of running back Darren McFadden to an ankle injury and the mounting score made it impossible for the Raiders to be patient with the run. The Raiders finished with 22 yards on 11 carries. Mike Goodson was also lost with an ankle injury.
Grade: F
Pass defense
Josh Freeman was 18 of 30 for 247 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Tyvon Branch was the only Oakland defender to get his hands on a thrown football, with a pass defensed. The lone sack came by Andre Carter on the opening series. Freeman had the time he needed to attack. A rough day for Michael Huff against Vincent Jackson.
Grade: F
Run defense
Tampa Bay's Doug Martin had 265 yards rushing until he lost 14 yards on his last three carries while the Bucs were killing the clock. He still gained 251 yards on 25 carries and scored from 45, 67, 70 and 1 yard. Tommy Kelly used to call the Raiders big-play struggles as ``stop, stop . . . boom.'' This was boom, boom, boom.
Grade: F
Special teams
Play of the day was Lamarr Houston blocking a 36-yard Connor Barth field goal attempt with his left hand extended, then catching it out of the air and returning it 34 yards to set up a 29-yard Sebastian Janikowski field goal. Shane Lechler looked more like his old self in terms of height and distance, averaging 54.5 yareds per punt, although a 28-yard return by Arrelious Benn hurt his net (43.0). No Raiders returns of note.
Grade: C-plus
The Raiders climbed back into the game at 35-32 with Palmer throwing short and being patient -- and then they threw it away with more than two minutes left on the clock. He probably had other route options, so it's hard to pin that entirely on coaching. For whatever reason, Raiders failed to execute defensively in a huge way. For that, the coaches and players share responsibility.
Grade: D

Double-knit interlock
Double knits are woven with two yarns and two sets of needles to create a more stable fabric, which looks the same on front and back. Double knits retain their shape, and work well for tailored garments. Choose double knits for jackets, pants, skirts and dresses, or when you want tops, t-shirts, and sleepwear with a denser weight and no see-through.
Bare Knits cotton interlock
Bare Knits cotton/poly interlock
Rib knits
Rib knits are made from two types of stitches, knit and purl, that create visible vertical ribs on both sides of the fabric. Rib knits have considerable crosswise stretch, but minimal lengthwise stretch. Use it for ribbing, cuffs, tops, jackets, leggings, and other form-fitting garments. Rib knits are a great fabric choice for children's clothes.
Bare Knits cotton rib
Bare Knits cotton/poly rib
Fashion fleece knits
Fashion fleece fabrics are tightly knit on the face side, double brushed on the fleece side, and reversed so the jersey side faces out. It has a soft, deep pile on the inside which provides comfort, warmth, and insulation. Use fashion fleece for loungewear, cardigans, children's clothing, and casual outerwear.
Bare Knits cotton fashion fleece
Bare Knits cotton/poly fashion fleece
Single knits
Single knits are made from a single layer of fabric, providing a lighter weight and more fluidity in clothing. They have a definite right and wrong side, and will curl toward the right side when stretched and released. Choose single knits for tops and t-shirts, dresses, full skirts, wrap garments, wide-leg pants, and sleepwear.
4-way stretch knits
This fabric works well for patterns with lots of curves and shaping.

Easy-care fabric that doesn't wrinkle, has great drape, and is ultra soft next to your skin.

What I Think I Did : Playing on the title of his first novel, What I'm Going to Do, I Think, Larry Woiwode's fresh, endearing memoir chronicles the years leading up to its publication in 1969. He views his early life from the vantage point of the bitterly cold winter of 1996 in North Dakota, where he resides with his wife and children, seamlessly interweaving his memories with an often comic account of the mishap-fraught installation of a new wood-burning furnace. Woiwode's supple, burnished prose teems with love for his family and with religious faith all the more moving for being quietly and unpretentiously expressed. His early struggles as an actor, poet, and fiction writer gain depth from this mature perspective.

I've had to report my phone being out several times since they took over. It hasn't worked right for two weeks, but I haven't bothered to report it yet. They make a day-long appointment, then you never see them, they call up two days after the appt. day and either want another appt. or ask if the phone is working. The main office doesn't send the orders in a timely manner, so the repair techs can't repair what they know nothing about. Every time they goof around with something at the switch, my phone goes dead. Rural WV is even worse, the phones are out every time the wind blows. Check your bills for unauthorized charges!

ALAMEDA -- When the mother of a former teammate told Terrelle Pryor he should copy the qualities of the NFL's top quarterbacks and make them his own, he took the advice to heart.
The Raiders quarterback calls Julie Posey his "aunt," but she is actually the mother of DeVier Posey, who played at Ohio State with Pryor.
"She said you have a basket, and if you see something about Tom Brady you like, put it in the basket. You see Michael Vick, (Colin) Kaepernick, Robert Griffin III, keep putting things in the basket," Pryor said Wednesday. "Eventually you keep adding what they're great at, emulate it, and add it to your skill set, and you're only going to get better."
Pryor has borrowed from Brady's one-step drop in a quest for accuracy. He stole a ball-fake from Kaepernick just last week.
Now if the Raiders can prevent Pryor from taking on tacklers like Darren McFadden does, they might have found themselves a quarterback for the long term.
When the Raiders host the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday at O.co Coliseum in their home opener, defenders are acutely aware that Pryor loses all the protections afforded a quarterback once he becomes a runner.
"He makes plays on his feet," Jaguars coach Gus Bradley said by conference call. "He's got the ability to run that's always a threat, not only in some of their read-option plays but also as a scrambler and with his bootlegs."
In a season-opening 21-17 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, one of Pryor's signature plays was a 26-yard bootleg where he delivered a stiff-arm to the face of safety LaRon Landry.
It wasn't a play normally associated with a quarterback. But then Pryor, even in the era of the runner-passer, isn't exactly a prototype.
"The way I think about it, I'm 6-foot-5, 238 pounds, I feel like I take that stuff on," Pryor said. "But I also believe you want to play smart, you want to last, and give your team the best chance to win."
Pryor had 13 rushes for 112 yards against Indianapolis, a franchise record for quarterback rushing yardage. Ideally, he'll run less and take fewer hits as the season goes on.
Rich Gannon, the former record holder with 85 yards rushing, was a master at measuring exactly what it took to get a first down and then either sliding or running out of bounds.
It's a philosophy coach Dennis Allen wants to see from Pryor, whose first instinct is to make a move or break a tackle to gain yards.
"The thing you have to understand is when it's time to declare the play over," Allen said. "You don't want to take any of his athleticism away from him, because he has the ability to make some big plays. What you want to do is limit the amount of times he takes the hit."
Pryor understands all this and wants to oblige but makes no promises.
"I believe I'll probably do whatever I have to do to get the first down," Pryor said. "I need to get down, absolutely. I have to. I've got guys counting on me ... but I'm not going to sit here and lie to you because I'm so competitive I might forget."
Asked if he would attend the game, Pryor said, "I wish. Can you get me some tickets? I'm kicked out of there."
"He called a near-perfect game, as perfect as I've seen since I've been here," Reece said. "As a competitor, I never want to come off the field. The game goes how it goes, and I'll do whatever it takes to help the team win."
Offensive tackle Menelik Watson missed practice with a knee injury, and the likely starters at tackle again are Khalif Barnes on the left side and Tony Pashos on the right. Tight end David Ausberry is still working with trainers and probably won't play either.
Place-kicker Sebastian Janikowski did not practice, monitoring a sore calf, and Tyvon Branch sat out with a sore shoulder not believed to be serious.
Linebacker Sio Moore was limited to eight snaps against Indianapolis because of the practice time he missed leading up to the game. He practiced Wednesday and could regain his starting job from Kaluka Maiava.
Jacksonville (0-1) at Raiders (0-1), 1:25 p.m. CBS

January 04, 2013
In a straight-talking New Year's message, Phil Orford, chief executive of the Forum of Private Business (FPB), has called on the Government and the banks to better serve small firms in 2013.
He said: "Small business owners are becoming disenfranchised from politicians. PR and spin has become the order of the day, with announcements made months ahead of implementation, commitments which have remained undelivered and a blatant focus on large businesses, without there being adequate mechanisms for holding such businesses to account on tax, late payment and social responsibility."
Despite fears of a triple-dip recession, Orford said many small business owners "possess the courage and creativity to progress despite adverse trading conditions".
He continued: "What we need during 2013 is a clear national economic strategy which maintains a focus on deficit reduction, lower borrowing and an improvement in our balance of payments, whilst mapping out a visionary approach to medium- and long-term enterprise-friendly policies to give all business the confidence to invest."
Orford also called on the banks to raise their game. "For too long now, the economy has struggled due to a lack of affordable credit being available to businesses and consumers. Despite a number of Government initiatives, the main banks continue to disable growth by applying unreasonable criteria to their assessments of risk and creditworthiness."
He added: "They are institutionally risk-averse, anti-competitive and fail to grasp the scale of the damage they have done, and continue to do. More radical action must be taken to force change now, rather than in years to come".

Many young vets don't use free medical
Only 45 percent of San Diegans who served in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars are using the free health care that combat veterans are entitled to receive from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs medical system.
The majority are missing a great lifetime deal. Think no annual premiums and $15 copays for basic office visits, even if the illness isn't connected to military service.
Health coverage for new veterans became a topic of national water cooler discussion in recent days after Esquire published a watchdog group's story about the Navy SEAL who shot terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden. The SEAL claimed that he lost all medical coverage when he left the military after 16 years of service — four years short of a pension and retiree health benefits.
Other media outlets quickly revealed that the story was inaccurate on this point, and Esquire and the Bay Area-based Center for Investigative Reporting later corrected their reports.
But the celebrity of the Navy SEAL-bin Laden connection put a spotlight on the usually unglamorous issue of health care for young vets.
In Coronado, the two-star admiral who commands all Navy SEALs issued a statement this week saying that the Bin Laden shooter — who wasn't named in Esquire — got advice about his options before he left.
"Months ahead of his separation, he was counseled on status and benefits and provided with options to continue his career until retirement eligible," said Rear Adm. Sean Pybus, Naval Special Warfare commander.
Pybus also pointed out that SEALs are among the best and brightest, which begs the question: If this elite fighter didn't understand his medical benefits as a veteran, who does?
At least one other former Navy SEAL who served in Iraq — San Diego marketing entrepreneur and reality TV star Brent Gleeson — said he was unaware of the VA health care option, which provides five years of free health care to post-Sept. 11 combat veterans for problems even remotely related to their military service, plus low-cost overall coverage.
"I certainly didn't know that," Gleeson said in an email last week.
The San Diego region is home to 32,786 veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan era, one of the largest concentrations in the United States. Only 14,622 of them are using VA health care, said spokeswoman Cindy Butler at the La Jolla VA hospital.
The reason for the gap remains an open question — the short attention span of young people, the mind-numbing complexity of rules governing the ins and outs of VA care?
"Most of them are young, and they feel they don't really need health care," said Edward Gause, supervisor of enrollment at the San Diego VA. "The information that health care is available to them is provided at a time when they are thinking about, 'I want to get on with life, and I'm not sick right now.' "
In recent years, the military has beefed up transition-to-civilian-life classes, which now can last five days.
Francisco Garcia, a 27-year-old Marine veteran who served in Iraq in 2006, just never got the word.
Garcia said the person scheduled to give the VA presentation in his transition seminar was on vacation or sick that day.
Soon after discharge in 2009, Garcia discovered his VA medical benefits thanks to swine flu.
He was working as a gas station cashier when he caught the flu. Sick as a dog, and thinking he had health insurance through his job, he went to Pomerado Hospital in Poway. A doctor there advised him to check out the La Jolla VA hospital in the future. He did.
"They kept asking me if I was service-connected, if I had a place to live," Garcia said. "Once I started answering them, before you know it I had a psychiatrist, I had a therapist and I had someone for ortho(pedics.)"
Now Garcia is getting help for post-traumatic stress disorder through the VA, including medication that enables him to feel more even-keeled. He has also filed a VA disability claim, which is pending.
The former Marine said he thinks some young combat veterans may be ignoring the VA's outstretched stethoscope because they are still in battlefield mindset.
"War does something to you. It changes you in a way that you can't really trust what you are hearing. A lot of times, it's hard to trust what somebody at the other end of a desk is trying to tell you," Garcia said.
Nationally, 56 percent of post-Sept. 11 veterans have used VA health care since October 2001.
Thanks to the National Defense Authorization Act of 2008, post-9/11 veterans who served in a combat theater, or on a ship deployed to a combat area, are eligible for five years of wide-ranging health care — even an arm broken skiing, even pregnancy care.
"Once they qualify for VA health care, they are covered for health care from head to toe, period," said Clarence Sellers, a VA health benefits adviser. "It doesn't matter if they have a cold, or injury or illness, they will be covered."
If these veterans earn more than $30,000 a year, copays of $15 for regular office visits and $50 for specialist care may kick in — though treatment of military-connected illnesses is free.
After the five years is up, the veterans can continue to get comprehensive medical care through the VA.
If post-9/11 combat veterans don't enroll during the five years after discharge, they might regret it later. Down the road, if they get sick but make too much money and don't have a military-connected injury, they might not qualify for VA care.
"The system is very complicated, to say the least," Butler said. "What we usually tell people is just come in and apply."
As post-9/11 veterans find their way to the VA, the federal agency's patient list is growing. And all this medicine comes with a price tag.
Nationally, the VA budget for medical care is $55 billion this year, up from $36 billion in 2008.
In San Diego, funding for VA medicine also has skyrocketed — from $400 million in 2008 to $575 million last year — as overall client load increased by 4 percent last year and 7 percent and 8 percent the prior two years.
In the face of that growth, the San Diego VA is performing a balancing act. It struggled to meet its targets for timeliness in patient care last fiscal year.
In April, for the first time in six months, the hospital system began meeting and exceeding its goal that patients get a primary-care appointment within a week of the requested day.
"We want to get everyone in on a timely basis," Butler said. "We're just at that critical balance."

Press briefing on missile defense
A new analysis by George N. Lewis and Theodore A. Postol in the May/June 2008 Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists reveals that the configuration of the proposed U.S. missile defense system in Europe will not adequately protect the continental United States or Europe against the postulated threat--an Iranian ballistic missile equipped with a nuclear warhead. Specific findings include:
- The system's centerpiece radar, slated for the Czech Republic, is substantially underpowered, rendering it ineffective unless upgraded or replaced.
- To compensate for this shortcoming, the controversial U.S. radar in Vardo, Norway will likely be a part of the system.
- Despite U.S. claims to the contrary, defense installations in the Czech Republic and Poland are ideally suited to counter Russian missiles.
