Learning from the dogs
Then, we went to the sunny desert and played together for an extended break. K showed me, without a doubt, that she has lots of spunk left in her. She hiked slot canyons with us that were barely wider than her body.
When we weren't hiking or biking, we all relaxed in camp, enjoying the warm air and solitude. We snoozed, read, and took photographs. R practiced his favorite skill... he's an expert lap dog!

Oh, that R! I could just kiss that sweet black nose! I love both of those shots of him.
K looks like she was enjoying the change of scenery as much or more than you were. I imagine it helps her not to have you in the mindset of having a sick dog, too. I know that when Treat was battling her spinal problems, I did some grieving ahead of time. There were good days and bad days. I think you can't beat yourself up about those bad days, just move past them and remember that without some bad days you can't realize the sweetness of the good days. K is very lucky to have all of you!

I love R's goofy look and I can't stop imagining him in a human life where he takes bets on horses, sports, etc and he has this guy who is in debt to his boss, very deep, and R is saying "Whaddya mean ya can't pay nothing. . .you wanna get hurt, you wanna find out what a broken knee is like?" lolol
Jo who gets carried away at times!

Oh R, you crack us up!
Your trip looks wonderful. My peeps were actually in Arizona all last week (they left me at home) - lots of wisdom and insight to be found in those beautiful canyons and rocks.

I missed a few of your posts so it was so nice to just sit down and read and see our jaunt to Southern Utah.
Your so right, R may look a little goofy now and again, but there is such warmth in his eyes.
K looks like she had a wonderful time and this will be a trip of very fond memories for all of you.
The sunset shot with K looking like an angel is amazing, just amazing.
Keep up your personal strengh K, we are all here to support you if we can, but you are an exceptional woman who has trudged through a lonely dark area with head held high.
Don't ever think you are alone on this. I know you have Runner and he is your key stone, but there is a lot of little gravel peices out here in blogville that are also with you 100%.
Now I am through rambling.

We know what your saying KB, our thoughts and feelings are sometimes on a roller coaster ride full of ups and downs. We try our hardest to think positive, and then we get to thinking, and we fall and slide out of control.
But thank goodness for the beautiful journey you all took to the desert together- Mother Earth- wrapping her arms of love around you all with some beauty, and such a good time for all of you.
The photos are fantastic- of the cliffs and swirls in the clay- and that silly R, he makes us laugh!
The photos of the amazing K- living in the moment- touch us every time. She has no worries.

I'm glad your vacation worked out for you. I, too, fall into the trap of looking at my Mango and thinking sad thoughts because I know he is old and sore and other stuff, but when I really look at him, I see a happy, bouncy guy who wants to enjoy his life. We all benefit from learning to live life in the moment.

One of my most special Kiva moments (and that's saying something) happened during a hike in Moab...it's clear as day in my mind and will still make me smile even when I'm 90. These moments we share with them truly do last forever.
BTW, I'm looking at your R and knowing that you will LOVE our Rissie when we all have the chance to meet.

ROCKPORT (November 14, 2012)—Aransas County Court-at-Law Judge William Adams, who was seen viciously beating his then-teenage daughter in a video she posted on the Internet last year, was expected to return to the bench Wednesday after a yearlong suspension.
The Texas Supreme Court lifted Adams' suspension last week.
The State Commission on Judicial Conduct issued Adams a public warning in September.
His first docket was scheduled for Wednesday.
As Aransas County's top judge, Adams dealt with at least 349 family law cases in the year before his suspension, nearly 50 of which involved state caseworkers seeking to determine whether parents were fit to raise their children.
The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services will no longer file physical abuse cases in his court.
Millions viewed the video on the Internet.

MARIETTA - The chatter in the hallway as the Young Democrats and Young Republicans made their way to the Marietta High School auditorium on Election Day touched on everything from how long the results would drag on to a supposed link between football and the outcome of the presidential race.
If there was nervousness prior to the debate, which was held in front of the entire student body and faculty, it wasn't totally apparent.
"I am a little nervous to do this in front of the whole school and especially teachers because I have always tried to have a strictly professional relationship with them," said junior Justin Warner, one of four Young Republicans who would be making the case for why Mitt Romney should be President of the United States.

"But I've always been passionate about politics and I understand the importance of each vote," he said. "I've tried to inform myself and to research both sides of an issue in depth."
The Young Republican group was organized by Jade Thompson, a Spanish teacher at the high school, after being approached to start one.
"A student came to me last year and asked about starting a Republican group and (Principal) Mr.
(Bill) Lee was OK with it," Thompson said. "The debate was actually (English teacher) Mr. (Joseph) Rabbene's idea."
English teacher Amy Warren jumped at the chance to organize a Young Democrats group in response.
"We've had a good turnout. I think we've had as many as 30 students for the meetings," she said.
The students took their own time to research and prepare for the debates, according to Thompson and Warren.
Modeled after the presidential and vice presidential debates, Tuesday's debate was a learning experience for all involved.
"We have the unique opportunity today for you to participate in a civics lesson," Lee told the student body, many of whom applauded wildly and chanted "U.S.A., U.S.A." Several hands went up when the principal asked how many 18-year-olds had fulfilled their obligation to vote.
Four seniors made up the panel of Young Democrats while four juniors sat opposite them as the Young Republicans. The questions posed by moderator Lee tackled such subjects as affirmative action, foreign policy and energy production, with both sides doing their best to explain their chosen candidate's position.
"We wanted to have a civil debate," said Thompson, "so we steered clear of social issues."
Of the students involved, only senior Evan Sawyer, 18, had the opportunity to vote in this election.
"I voted last Thursday at the courthouse for President Obama because of his plan for education and the economy," he said. "It was exhilarating and gave me such a feeling of civic pride."

PhRMA Statement Regarding Prescription Drug User Fee Act Reauthorization - 2011
PhRMA Statement Regarding Prescription Drug User Fee Act Reauthorization
"Because of this, PhRMA encourages Congress to reauthorize PDUFA in an expedient fashion. We further hope that the bill ultimately passed by Congress will include the constructive, carefully negotiated performance goals letter, with minimal additional provisions that could create unintended burdens on the regulatory process or delay the legislative process. It is imperative that this important legislation be approved in a timely manner so that the agency can proceed with its essential function."

It is shaping up to be a busy summer for crews from the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Washington County Engineer's Office. At least 20 paving, bridge, sidewalk and culvert projects are slated for Washington County this year.
None of the projects are expected to be large-scale endeavors that would cause complete road closures, said ODOT public information officer David Rose.
"Mostly these are going to be one lane closures where we will work on one side and leave the other open and then switch," he said.

JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
Franklin Blam of the Washington County Engineer's Office rips out a culvert on Sandhill Road in Reno Thursday. Between the county Engineer's Office and the Ohio Department of Transportation, at least 20 paving, bridge, culvert, and sidewalk projects are slated for the county throughout the rest of the year, but none are expected to cause major traffic pattern changes.
One of the biggest projects, he said, will be the relocation of a quarter mile of Ohio 821. The $1,351,339 project, which starts near Ohio 60, began last September and started again April 22 after a winter break, said Rose
"Currently crews are finishing all the dirt work and grading, as well as drainage," he said.
The project will remove an existing curve and since the work is being done beside the current roadway, it should not affect traffic, he added.
The project will likely wrap up Nov. 1, he said.
ODOT is also helping oversee two sidewalk construction projects, one in Belpre and one in Beverly. The addition of a section of sidewalk on Ullman Street in Beverly is part of an ongoing effort to make it safer for area students to bike and walk to school, said Rose.
Resurfacing projects are also scheduled for Ohio 555, Ohio 7 and Pike Street, he said.
The Washington County Engineer's Office has a dozen paving and bridge repair projects slated for the coming year. The list of paving projects this year include Highland Ridge Road, Caywood Road, Groves Avenue, Zion Ridge Road and two sections of Stanleyville Road, said Washington County Engineer Roger Wright.
"We have a system where the roads are scored and we combine that with how much traffic is on the road," explained Wright of how the yearly paving projects are chosen.
Additionally, the Archers Fork, Baker, Stevens, Ward and Ferrebee bridges will get touch-ups this summer.
Work on Archers Fork Bridge will likely begin as soon as school is out and last all summer, said Wright.
Though busy, increased prices for paving and bridge work have caused the county to slightly cut the amount of summer projects it has taken on over the past few years, he said.
He pointed to the average cost of paving a single mile of road, which more than doubled from 1999 to 2012-from $32,000 to $70,000.
Another 16 ODOT projects will be happening in Monroe, Noble and Morgan counties.
In Monroe County, two resurfacing projects will start at the Washington County line and will cover five and a half miles of Ohio 26 and four miles of Ohio 565. Bridge work in Monroe County will take place on state routes 537, 145, 379 and 536, said Rose.
For those bridge projects on Ohio 145 and Ohio 379, motorists can expect road closures beginning June 10 through Aug. 16, said Rose.
The Adams Covered Bridge in Morgan County will be undergoing repairs this summer and the Ohio 78 bridge that runs over Buck Run Road will be replaced. One of the larger projects in Morgan County will also be a realignment project, said Rose. A half mile realignment on Ohio 607 in Morgan County will begin just north of Ohio 60, he said.
Another large Morgan County project will be the resurfacing of 14 miles of Ohio 678 starting at the Washington County line.
In Noble County, two bridges are being completely replaced-a bridge a half mile south of Township Road 100 on Ohio 821 and the bridge that runs over Little Buffalo Creek on Ohio 147.
Beginning at the Guernsey County line, ODOT will be resurfacing six miles of Ohio 313 in Noble County. They will also be resurfacing more than five miles of Interstate 77 near the Ohio 78 interchange ramps.
This summer marks one of ODOT's busiest ever, with around $2.3 billion worth of work scheduled throughout the state for the rest of the year, said Rose.
Locally, many of the big projects were done a few years ago, meaning this year will focus mainly on paving and bridge work, he added.
"In Southeastern Ohio, we're focused on maintenance right now and just getting everything up to standards," he said.

I am mourning the passage of MOG, a digital music discovery service that is going dark in April.
It is great way to listen to and discover music, but it's pointless going into its virtues. Berkeley-based MOG will soon join the dust heap of tech history, along with the PalmPilot, Google Reader, the digital photo service Everpix and many other services and products that once had their day -- and their devotees.
MOG's demise got me to thinking about the pros and cons of being an early adopter.
Early adopters enjoy the benefits of being the first kids on the block with the latest iPhone or the newest easy-to-use public transit app. There's the cool factor. They dazzle friends with their quick efficiency and technical derring-do.
But there are pitfalls to being on the front lines of consumer tech. It's not just the time invested test-driving new apps. We form habits as if these services will be around forever. We bore our friends and family by singing their praises.
But as the Buddhists say, everything changes. Companies run out of money. Or, like MOG, another firm, in this case Beats Audio, buys it and shuts down the service. We howl into the void: How could they?
Being disruptive doesn't always ensure success, and tech's life cycle can be as short as a butterfly's, particularly in the app economy. In fact, that sector depends on finding a lot of people willing to try apps without a care that they could disappear overnight.
Morgan Reed, executive director of the Association for Competitive Technology, which represents 5,000 software app companies, experienced his own digital loss when two years ago a company bought and shut down Loopt, a popular social service.
That killed his slideshow and data from a trip to Greece with his wife. The rich photo-sharing environment Reed painstakingly created on Loopt -- his photo captions, his notes -- was gone.
"Disruptive technologies sometimes go away," he told me. "I'll try the next thing."
And he was lucky; Loopt gave users access to their photos. For many app developers, a contingency plan for what to do with consumer data isn't always tops on the list. "No one wants to predict their own death," Reed said.
And it's not just startups. Paul Duguid, an adjunct professor in the School of Information at UC Berkeley, is still getting over Apple's decision in the early 2000s to stop supporting HyperCard, software that made programming relatively easy. He keeps an older computer solely so he can access files he created with the program.
Today, he points out, the "consumer is as much a contributor as a firm's producer, and innovation comes from how much consumers put into these things."
"There's a reward for our effort when these things work," he said, but if a company goes belly up, "it puts us more curiously at the mercy of these people."
Sure, I know MOG's end is part of tech's life and death cycle. Other digital music services are out there, I know. Whatever is next for me -- Spotify, Rdio and Beats Music, the new streaming service from Beats Audio -- I hope it lasts long enough to offset the set-up hassle. But the bar to replace MOG is high.
The service gave me, someone who grew up listening to rock on commercial radio, an easy way to broaden my musical horizons and delve deeply into artists and genres I discovered.
More poignantly, MOG gave my kids the sense of being explorers stepping into the vast limitless ocean of all the world's music.
MOG made me realize that the ability for kids to easily search, discover and listen to music on demand has to be right up there as one of the greatest gifts to this generation.
As I said, the bar is high.

First Aid
First aid is the assistance given to an injured or sick person in need of urgent medical assistance. First aid applies to a broad range of medical situations and consists both of specific knowledge and skills (for example, what to do for each type of injury or illness) and the ability to assess a situation and make appropriate decisions (such as when to call for emergency medical assistance).
Preparedness is a key element of first aid. While every home, auto, and boat should be equipped with a basic emergency kit that includes first aid supplies and a first aid manual, special circumstances may necessitate more advanced or specific degrees of preparation for an emergency. For example, residents of certain geographic areas where natural disasters (such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados, floods, landslides, or tsunamis) may occur should prepare for emergencies by assembling disaster preparedness kits such as earthquake kits, flood kits, andevacuation kits.
Travelers should also prepare to administer first aid in the region they plan to visit. In many developed countries, this may amount to packing a standard first aid kit and manual with your belongings. Medicines to prevent motion sickness and advanced awareness about the management of traveler's diarrhea are also helpful to travelers. In the developing world or in remote regions, a travel medicine kit should include medicines and supplies that may not be available for purchase as well as any specific products (such as insect repellant to prevent mosquito and tick bites) needed for your destination. It's also important for travelers in foreign countries to learn how to access emergency services by telephone.
Being prepared to administer effective first aid can also involve learning specific skills such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or abdominal thrusts to assist choking victims. First aid may be required for medical emergencies such as heart attack, stroke, or seizures as well as for minor medical conditions like nosebleed and mild allergic reactions. Environmental injuries (sunburn, poison ivy, heat exhaustion, frostbite, bee or insect stings) and traumatic injuries (strains, sprains, burns, puncture wounds, and cuts as well as more severe internal injuries) are other situations where first aid skills can be invaluable.
Regardless of your level of skill or degree of first aid training, if you find yourself in a true medical emergency, always call 911 for emergency medical assistance immediately. Likewise, if you are involved in any medical situation that is beyond your personal abilities to provide first aid, you should never hesitate to summon emergency medical assistance right away.

Moved post to Linux support
Tonight I noticed that the the 1.03 at least the thumbnails do not appear whatever I tried on the Linux version. I tried the exact same configuration on two different windows machine and it worked perfectly but impossible to get covers to appear under Linux.
A separate issue that I have is that, sometimes, movies appear multiple times (in fact many times) in the list (also under Linux).
Thanks and keep the great work

The Washington Post last week profiled Howard University's Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel services, one of the iconic traditions in all of HBCU culture. For its spiritual impact on students and community, and its platform for leading Black voices across social, political and cultural planes, the Rankin Chapel services remain a strong link between HBCU necessity past and present.
Similar stories are present at Black colleges throughout the nation. The Rankin Chapel, along with Tougaloo's Woodworth Chapel, Sisters Chapel at Spelman and Allen Chapel at Paul Quinn are campus centers for spiritual enlightenment and community mobilization. In an age where morals and values are overwhelmed by popular culture and negative images of HBCUs, the value of the HBCU chapel is more pressing than ever.
Given the historic link between church and HBCU, is there room for the HBCU chapel to reemerge as the campus "living room?" Through HBCU chapels, can we reinvigorate the partnership between Black colleges and Black churches to foster a new commitment for financial and ethical support? Schools like Saint Paul's College and Morris Brown College are facing critical times over the next few months, but while churches have lent support in the form of checks, have they championed for these schools from their pulpits and media reach?
How can spirituality and faith-based community be reconnected to HBCU culture, to better benefit school and student? Howard, over the 120 years of its chapel's existence, seems to have the best command of the partnership. Can others follow suit before it's too late?

I pissed on Mother nature and I feel sick
But that's a whole other story that I don't have the time to get into. I'm just writing this to say goodbye. I'm moving tommorow and I won't have a computer for awhile.
I finally received my personal journals c.d. . . . yesterday!!! And I only got to listen to it today. I listened to it while I took down all my posters, packed my bags, read old poetry and relived my past 2 and a half years here. I absolutely love the whole album! "Pitchers of silence" almost made my neck veins pop, "hopeless" made me shout out loud and scare the cows and "my name is strange" made me cry.
I want to thank Sage and Joe for running this site and I want to thank everyone here for the good discussions.
I'm gonna miss this place

DSM, based in Heerlen, the Netherlands, is moving ahead with construction of a commercial-scale biomanufacturing facility in Montreal, Canada. The Société Générale de Financement du Québec (SGF), a quasi-governmental agency — and part owner of the enterprise — that helped finance the original DSM Biologics facility there will finance 40% of the investment.
The new facility's design calls for four mammalian cell culture bioreactors with a total capacity of 60,000 L plus full downstream processing capabilities. The plant is being built in two phases; the first, at a cost of more than $100 million, is expected to be online by mid-2005. Although this phase includes the construction of the building and the necessary infrastructure for all four bioreactors, only two 15,000-L units will be installed. No target date has been given for adding the second 30,000 L of capacity.
This DSM investment represents the biggest commitment to new cell culture capacity since Zurich-based Lonza announced two years ago that it was building 60,000 L (three 20,000-L units) of capacity at its Portsmouth, NH location. That capacity is expected to come online in mid-2004 and is now 90% committed; Lonza announced in May that it had signed a large-scale monoclonal antibody supply agreement with an unnamed, top 10 pharmaceutical company. Another major contractor adding cell culture capacity is Diosynth, whose new facility in Oss, the Netherlands, will have an 18,000-L bioreactor. Among other major contract biomanufacturers, UK-based Avecia has focused on new microbial capacity, while Dow Chemical seems to be holding off on new capacity commitments at its Rhode Island facility.Capacity Landscape Despite high-profile announcements such as these, getting a clear picture of the availability of contract mammalian cell culture capacity is tricky. Companies are moving in and out of the market as their strategies or in-house capacity requirements change. Sponsors with excess capacity, including GlaxoSmithKline, Abbott Laboratories, Idec Pharmaceuticals, and Abgenix are actively selling their excess capacity. Other companies with surplus capacity are using the manufacturing capability as leverage when negotiating alliances.
It is clear, however, that the catastrophic supply shortfalls that some observers were forecasting are not coming to pass. According to Howard Levine, president of BioProcess Technology Consultants, those projections were often based on faulty assumptions regarding dosing requirements, approval rates, and the market's ability to absorb all of the new products.
What is in short supply, according to Levine and others, is contract capacity for process development and biomanufacturing of clinical trial materials. The clinical business can be very volatile — both Lonza and Cambrex have suffered significant revenue and earnings shortfalls this year because of clinical project cancellations and delays — but demand is high, even in this difficult funding environment for early-stage companies.
One major company that is focusing on the clinical market is Cambrex Bio Science. According to its president, Peter van Hoorn, Cambrex Bio Science recently opened a new process development laboratory at its Baltimore, MD, location, and is installing a 500-L stirred tank mammalian cell culture bioreactor that will be in operation at year's end. The company is also installing a 2,500-L microbial reactor train at its facility in Hopkinton, MA, which will come online in mid-2004.
Smaller companies are also adding clinical cell culture capacity. In May, Belgium-based Henogen acquired another Belgian company, 4C Biotech, which provides clinical-scale biomanufacturing. Also that month, Laureate Pharma installed a 200-L bioreactor at its Princeton, NJ, location. Laureate also plans to complete installation of a new 2,000-L bioreactor later this year.

The stereotype of the mathematics community as aloof--perhaps even a tad condescending--towards other disciplines and their mathematical needs is not uncommon among our science and social science colleagues. Fortunately a major MAA effort that is underway challenges this stereotype: a series of disciplinary workshops known as the Curriculum Foundations Project.
The CF Project is part of a major MAA review of the undergraduate programs in mathematics. The MAA's Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics (CUPM) is currently studying the undergraduate curriculum, taking into account the views of a broad segment of the mathematics community and its partner disciplines. The goal is a document that will assist mathematics departments as they plan their programs through the first decade of the 21st century. Past CUPM recommendations have strongly influenced undergraduate mathematics instruction. Future recommendations should have similar influence.
Given the impact of mathematics instruction'especially instruction during the first two years'on the sciences and quantitative social sciences, there is a need for significant input from these partner disciplines. Hence the CUPM Subcommittee on Calculus Reform And the First Two Years (CRAFTY) is gathering the necessary information through a series of eleven disciplinary workshops.
These workshops, listed in the accompanying display box, comprise the heart of the Curriculum Foundations Project. They contribute to the foundational materials from which recommendations for the first two years of college mathematics will be constructed.
Each workshop is focused on a particular partner discipline such as physics or computer science, or on a group of related disciplines such as the health-related life sciences. The goal of each workshop is to obtain a clear, concise statement of what students in that area need to learn in their first two years of college mathematics.
The workshops are not intended to be dialogues between mathematics and the partner disciplines. Instead, each workshop is a dialogue between representatives of the discipline under consideration, with mathematicians present merely to listen to the discussions and to provide information on current curriculum trends in mathematics. For this reason, the majority of the twenty to thirty individuals invited to participate in each workshop are from the partner disciplines.
The major product of a CF workshop is a ten-page report summarizing the recommendations and conclusions of the workshop. It is written by the representatives of the partner discipline, directed towards the mathematics community, and addresses a series of questions formulated by CRAFTY. Uniformity of style is achieved across the reports by using essentially the same set of questions for each workshop. Having a common list of questions also aids in comparing the reports of different workshops.
The documents so produced will be widely circulated within the specific disciplines as well as the mathematics community in order to solicit a broad range of comments. After such circulation, the reports will be published and used in the formulation of the ultimate CUPM curriculum recommendations. The reports will also be the focus of a Curriculum Foundations Workshop to be held during 2001 at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
In addition to their role in the CUPM review, the reports can serve as valuable resources for initiating discussions between mathematics departments and their partner disciplines. Working from electronic versions of the reports currently available, some mathematics departments have already begun using the reports to stimulate interdepartmental discussions of their curriculum. Promoting and supporting informed discussions with the partner disciplines may ultimately be considered the most important outcome of the Curriculum Foundations Project.
The workshops have generated much good will between mathematics and the partner disciplines. In particular, our colleagues from the other disciplines have been extremely grateful'and perhaps a little surprised! 'to be invited by mathematicians to taken seriously.
Project. Although the NSF supplied at least partial support for several of the workshops, the vast majority of the events have been funded entirely by the local hosting institutions. Since travel and lodging expenses are covered for all workshop participants, the host institutions have contributed serious money to the project. We are sincerely grateful for their generosity.
As reported in the January, 2000 issue of FOCUS, the first two workshops were held last Fall at Bowdoin College (Physics and Computer Science) and at West Point (interdisciplinary instruction related to Physics and Engineering). The workshops received some attention from the national media, mostly notably in an article by Mark Clayton of the Christian Science Monitor, This article is still available on the Monitor's web page at http://csmonitor.com/durable/1999/11/09/fp13s1-csm.shtml. Two other workshops have been held since then, with several still to come (see the box on the next page). The project will conclude with an event at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, CA. This final workshop will focus on the preparation of mathematics majors.
The Joint Meetings of the MAA and AMS in New Orleans this January will feature a number of events centered on the Curriculum Foundations Project. In addition to presentations and panel discussions by participants in the workshops, a series of small focus groups will be organized by the CUPM to discuss the CF workshop reports.
Each focus group, comprised of individuals invited in advance, will discuss and analyze the implications of a single CF report. Each report will be considered by at least one focus group, and the insights generated by these discussions will be further input for the CUPM curriculum review.
If you are interested in participating in a focus group, please contact Bill Haver (Virginia Commonwealth University) by email at firstname.lastname@example.com and indicate the reports in which you are interested.
William Barker is the chair of CRAFTY, the CUPM Subcommittee on Calculus Reform and the First Two Years. He can be contacted at Department of Mathematics, Bowdoin College, 8600 College Station, Brunswick, ME 04011.

Lightweight, lovely full slip made of pure cotton batiste.
Rated 4.2 out of 5Â by 11 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Just1 Extremely Disappointed I was very disappointed in the Batiste Slip. The slip was paper thin and when I checked the tag it showed nylon. I ordered this for my mom and had it shipped directly to her. When I visited her and saw the slip I was embarrassed. May 23, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Paribanou Surprisingly good I had not had a cotton slip in decades when I bought this one about 10 years ago for summer coolness. I still have it, and am about to order another one. It's my go-to slip all summer every summer, so yes, it's showing wear and tear - tiny tears at the seams, cloth is almost worn through in spots, but the fit and comfort gave me the impression that it would last forever! Cutting it on the bias was genius. Buy one, then more. They are tough, but don't last literally forever, as I'd hoped! May 1, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Quilt slip The slip is nice but not exactly what I was looking for. It would have been helpful to have a back view of the product because the back straps were not the style I was looking for. January 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Iamahappycustomer Perfect fit, excellent quality. I searched the town where I live and there wasn't a single slip anywhere except for a few that were about 12 inches long. I even drove to a town 50 miles away and there wasn't even a 12-inch slip! I had just about given up when a Vermont Country Store catalog showed up in my mailbox. The catalog had a good selection of slips the right size and length, so I ordered 2 of them. They are beautiful...just what I was looking for. Thank you, Vermont Country Store! June 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by legacycowgirl Soft and Cool I purchased both the regular and tall size 34 in this slip. The fit was great and forgives your not so loved features.The material even has a little give to it. The armholes have plenty of room and bust fits perfect.The cotton is the nicest I have ever had in a cotton slip. I only like cotton or silk and these work great for me.The tall length goes with the rayon floral dresses I bought from Vermont Country Store. They are a perfect match in the length. I am 5'4" and the regular slip size hits just below my knee. The lace is soft and adds just the right amount of feminine features. Love the fact I can find these here at the VCS. Very happy with my purchase. June 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Sandy in the Shade Very Flattering This slip is very flattering, but does require a slight alteration there is too much fabric in the arm scythe area for me. Not as much as some other slip styles, and I could get by without doing any alterations. This is a more fitted slip than the other two cotton slips, and fitted me pretty well. Better than most slips/ May 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ajean1213 perfect fit I ordered the size 32. I'm a small size 2/4. 32D bra size and this slip fit perfect. It was pricy but worth it to have a slip that isn't hot trapping nylon or polyester. I purchased this to wear on a trip to the equator. Can't wait to try it out February 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sherrie LOVE IT! I love to sleep in a slip & the polyester blends are suffocating! So I looked everywhere & this is the only 100% cotton slip I could find anywhere in town or online. I absolutely love the way it fits! It's perfect for sleep or under a dress either way. I washed it on gentle and line dryed and it did not shrink or wrinkle. I only wish I would have purchased 2 of them :) January 11, 2014

North Shore-LIJ Not On Board With Bid for LICH
One of the hospital systems listed as part of a bidding team for Brooklyn's Long Island College Hospital has not committed to the project, a spokesman said Wednesday.
North Shore-LIJ Health System, which operates 15 hospitals throughout the region, was listed as a medical partner with Brisa Builders in one of five bids for the hospital released by the State University of New York on Tuesday.
North Shore–which has been expanding throughout the region and whose chief executive, Michael Dowling, was former Gov. Mario Cuomo's state director of Health, Education and Human Services–would have been a high-profile and politically connected addition to the bid. But while the hospital system had some preliminary discussions with Brisa Builders, it never committed to the project, a spokesman said.
"North Shore-LIJ representatives are actively engaged in discussions with other providers in and outside the metropolitan area, and do not feel that we are in a position to submit a proposal for Long Island College Hospital at this time," the spokesman said. "However, we will continue to pay close attention to developments at LICH and plan on keeping our options open as the situation evolves."
According to Brisa's bid, the hospital would operate a satellite emergency department and an ambulatory care center.
"Northshore LIJ is fully committed to quality healthcare for the NYC area and we are currently in the middle of discussions with this provider, which have not been finalized," said Ericka Keller- Wala, Brisa's chairwoman.
Other groups that submitted bids for the property on Monday afternoon included the Peebles Corporation and the Institute for Family Health; Brooklyn Hospital and Related Companies; and Fortis partnering with NYU Langone Medical Center and Lutheran Family Health Centers.
SUNY has asked each of the bidders to provide evidence of these partnerships and hadn't received that evidence from Brisa as of 2:30 on Wednesday afternoon, according to a SUNY spokesman.

U.S. Figure Skating: Race Wasn't Factor in Selection
NOTE TO READERS: U.S. Figure Skating sent the following statement to Speakeasy in response to our commentary "Mirai Nagasu, Ashley Wagner and the Myth of the Golden Girl." Speakeasy should have sought comment from the organization before the commentary was published.
"U.S. Figure Skating firmly stands behind its process, the Athlete Selection Procedures for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games, and the selections made regarding the athletes nominated to the team. The Athlete Selection Procedures used for the selection of the 2014 Olympic figure skating team were reviewed and approved by the Athletes Advisory Committee of U.S. Figure Skating, the U.S. Figure Skating Board of Directors and the United States Olympic Committee.
With the stated goal in the Athlete Selection Procedures of fielding the most competitive team for the Olympic Winter Games, and in accordance with those procedures, the 35-member International Committee took into consideration the competitions listed below in priority order, whether the athlete participated in those competitions, and if so, their placements, performances and the competitive fields at those competitions:
- 2014 U.S. Figure Skating Championships
- 2013 ISU Grand Prix Final
- 2013 ISU World Figure Skating Championships
- 2013 ISU Grand Prix Series Competitions (six competitions)
- 2013 ISU Four Continents Championships
- 2013 U.S. Figure Skating Championships
- 2013 ISU World Junior Figure Skating Championships
- 2013 ISU Junior Grand Prix
The placements at the 2014 U.S. Figure Skating Championships do not decide who is selected to the U.S. Olympic figure skating team. Under the Athlete Selection Procedures, it is an athlete's body of work at the competitions listed above that is considered in the selection of the U.S. Olympic figure skating team. The figure skaters who have been nominated to represent the United States in Sochi, Russia, are as follows:
Jeremy Abbott
Evan Bates
Nate Bartholomay
Jason Brown
Marissa Castelli
Madison Chock
Meryl Davis
Gracie Gold
Polina Edmunds
Alex Shibutani
Maia Shibutani
Simon Shnapir
Ashley Wagner
Charlie White
Felicia Zhang
U.S. Figure Skating firmly believes in equality. Our bylaws clearly state that all athletes are to be provided an equal opportunity to participate in eligible athletic competition "without discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, age, gender or national origin."
U.S. Figure Skating takes very seriously any implied reference that there was discrimination in the selection of the 2014 Olympic figure skating team. We challenge any such implication, particularly given the fact that more than 25 percent of our Olympic team members are Asian-American.
We travel to Sochi as Americans united in the goal of representing our country, our sport and ourselves to the best of our abilities."
Barbara Reichert
Communications director

Wednesday August 1, 2012
Barnwell, SC--It was a tale of two seasons for the Barnwell Warhorses a season ago. They started six and o before losing four of their last six and bowing out early in the playoffs. This year, they are looking to finish at strong as they started.
They'll have their hands full if they hope to do that. Graduation loss was big on both sides of the ball and in key spots, namely up front on the line. One big change in ed moore's third year as coach is attitude. Barnwell now knows they can win and win a bunch. They also know they can't take anything for granted like a season ago.
"First part of the season we went 6 and 0 to homecoming and we kind of got big headed before the homecoming loss." said Travis Elmore "Can't have the same mindset as last year, we have to come out better, starting hard and come stronger."
"Last year we experienced success at the begining of the year, started 6 and 0, our kids weren't use to success" said coach Ed Moore "They didn't handle it as well as I'd like them to but you have to teach them everything."
Getting off to the quick start won't be as easy this year. First they'll have a lot of new faces in new places. Then there's a three hour bus trip to open the season followed by Blackville Hilda and Williston Elko on the schedule. No sneaking up on people like they did a year ago.

1. Mail fix : 20:53
I'm having a hard time figuring out how to properly route my mail. I have two main mail accounts - my sachachua.com address and my ateneo.edu address. At home, I can send mail from any account I want, but I have to use the web interface (IMP) to check my ateneo.edu account for messages (no POP/IMAP in! pfft). In school, I can poll both accounts, but I can only send mail from my ateneo.edu account.
I've more or less decided to:
- Set my from: and reply-to: to my [email protected] address.
- Subscribe my [email protected] address to all the mailing lists, but
set my delivery options to nomail.
- Yahoogroups should handle it appropriately.
- Pro: Personal replies tend to get past the mailing list stuff.
- Con: I need to be able to inform everyone when I no longer have an
ateneo.edu account.
Probable solution:
- Use [email protected] in my .signature, so that people who run
across my messages will still be able to reach me.
Sounds like a plan!

- Get warmed up for success

46CLUB LAX Points
Athletes must prepare effectively before training and competition to prevent injury and maximize performance. Todd Norman opens his presentation with three series of effective warm-up routines that include; basic movement drills, inclined treadmill activities, and a 3-minute jump rope routine. Coach Norman then goes on to demonstrate how dynamic stretching prior to training actively prepares the body by maintaining core temperature and increased blood flow to the muscles and joints. He presents more than 15 dynamic exercises that develop mobility, balance, body control, and enhanced range of motion. The next step in the program is the movement preparation series, where Coach Norman presents two routines that effectively prepare the athlete to accelerate and decelerate with precision and body control. These drills combine many basic movements such as sprinting, stopping, shuffling and turning to activate the physical demands and mental focus required for the ensuing training and/or competition. Coach Norman concludes with his training recommendations for athletes that implement his program. This program has variety and creativity and can be used by athletes of all sports. 43 minutes.

VAIL - By 10:05 a.m. the morning of Feb. 22, both public parking lots were full in Vail and cars were beginning to spill over onto the Frontage Road.
Vail Mountain's official report said there were 9 inches new snow in the last 24 hours the morning of Feb. 23 and 21 inches in the last seven days.
"Ten a.m. is a little earlier than we're used to seeing the lots fill on a Friday," said Kevin Berga, parking supervisor for the town of Vail. "On Saturday, they didn't fill till 10:25 a.m., which is unusual that Saturday would take longer to fill than Friday."
By the end of the ski day on Feb. 22, 372 cars had spilled over from the lots and were parked along the Frontage Road.
Destia Day came in from Denver to ski Vail on Feb. 22. She got to the Lionshead lot at 8 a.m. and said it was dead.
"We drove right in and parked on the bottom level," she said. "There was no one there. We rode a bit and came back to move the car, and people were stalking like vultures, waiting to take the spot."
On Feb. 23, Berga said he and the town of Vail were preparing for 700 cars to spill over from the lots.
"We only got 492, so everything went really smooth," he said.
Berga said the sign in the roundabout, directing people to the Lionshead lot once the Vail lot was full, played a key role in keeping things from getting too congested.
"It used to be people would start heading back east and realize the Vail lot was full, so then they'd try to make a U-turn or turn around by Solaris," Berga said. "It was always a real mess. Now people see that sign in the roundabout and they just head west. It's much smoother."
By 8:30 a.m. the morning of Feb. 23, a large crowd had accumulated at the Eagle Bahn Gondola and Chair 8 in Lionshead, making for a different early day experience than Day found on Feb. 22. The Eagle Bahn began taking people up a few minutes earlier than usual in an attempt to balance out the crowds.
But the lines weren't just limited to the chairlifts. On the evening of Feb. 23, supermarkets in Vail were packed with people, with a 10-minute wait for self-checkout and longer for person-to-person checkout.
Buzz Schleper from Buzz's Boards in Vail said there's no question the snow is bringing the crowds.
"This year has been incredible in terms of crowds," he said. "We've been steadily busy since Christmas, and not just on weekends."
The main indicator, in Schleper's mind, that it's the snow that's been bringing the crowds?
"We've had tons of people coming in wanting to rent powder skis," he said.
More snow is in the forecast for Monday night and Tuesday, the National Weather Service reports.

Staging is the process of finding out how far the cancer has spread. This is very important because your treatment and the outlook for your recovery depend on the stage of your cancer. For early cancer, surgery may be all that is needed. For more advanced cancer, other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy may be used.
There is more than one system for staging colorectal cancer. Some use numbers and others use letters. But all systems describe the spread of the cancer through the layers of the wall of the colon or rectum. Colorectal cancer starts in the inner layer and can grow through some or all of the other layers. Staging also takes into account whether the cancer has spread to nearby organs and lymph nodes or to organs farther away.
Stages are often labeled using Roman numerals I through IV (1-4). As a rule, the lower the number, the less the cancer has spread. A higher number, such as stage IV (4), means a more advanced cancer.
Grade of colorectal cancer
Another factor that can affect the outlook for survival is the grade of the cancer. Grade is a description of how closely the cancer looks like normal colorectal tissue under a microscope.
Low-grade means the tissue looks more normal; high-grade means the tissue looks less normal. Most of the time, the outlook is not as good for high-grade cancers as it is for low-grade cancers. Doctors sometimes use the grade to help decide whether a patient should get more treatment with chemotherapy after surgery.

A constant racket of feeding chatter and hail calls echoed throughout the Cabela's store in Kansas City, Kansas, this past weekend as some of the finest duck callers in the nation competed for one of the largest cash payouts ever awarded in a calling contest. Cabela's sponsored this unsanctioned competition, which offered $10,000 for the first-place winner. When the last caller fell silent and the judges' votes were all tallied, 25-year-old Antonio Jones of Little Rock, Ark., stepped forward to claim the big prize.
Minutes before the contest began, Jones, who is a Rich-N-Tone (RNT) pro-staffer, reached for a call he had never blown before. He was handed the new DC Diablo by RNT President John Stephens, who was manning the company's booth during the contest. A few hours later, Jones held his new favorite call in one hand and an oversized check for $10,000 in the other.
"This is just great, man," Jones said, with tears of joy streaming down his face. He shook hands with other callers and received a hug from Jim Ronquest, producer of RNT-V and a past world's champion duck caller. "You work so hard for something for so long, and the other callers here are excellent. It's a good feeling to get a win."

According to the National Institutes of Health, more than 20 million Americans avoid going to the dentist out of fear.
Most dentists are well aware of their patients' anxieties. They try to create a soothing environment where patients can feel calm and comfortable, beginning with an inviting waiting room and a caring, attentive staff. Some practices offer television, music, or even virtual reality glasses to entertain and distract nervous patients in the chair. Others employ pillows, blankets or aromatherapy to help their patients relax.
But one practitioner has found a unique solution to help his young patients conquer their dental phobia. The clinic of Dr. Paul Weiss, a pediatric dentist in Williamsville, N.Y., recently posted a photo on the popular website reddit that showed how he uses his golden retriever Brooke to act as a therapy dog to calm nervous young patients. According to MSN.com, Brooke is bathed before each visit and Weiss's office is cleaned after she leaves to maintain proper sanitation.

Assault with a Deadly Weapon: A 23-year old man was walking in the area of Church and Grant streets when two men riding in a red 1990s Ford Mustang pulled up next to him. The suspects jumped out of the vehicle and demanded money. The victim said he did not have any money and turned to walk away. One of the suspects shot the victim in the buttocks. The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment.
Assault With a Deadly Weapon: A man told police he got in a fight over money with five or six men in a trailer park on the 2100 block of East Taylor Street around 7:45 p.m. Sunday evening and they shot him. The wound was not life threatening.

Offshore Wind Power Leases Issued for Delaware and New Jersey Coasts
June 24, 2009
The new exploratory leases may spur the development of offshore wind power in the United States.
The U.S. Department of the Interior issued five exploratory leases on June 23 for wind power development off the coasts of Delaware and New Jersey. The first-ever federal leases for offshore wind power in the United States were awarded to Deepwater Wind, LLC; the Delaware and New Jersey subsidiaries of Bluewater Wind LLC; and the New Jersey subsidiary of Fishermen's Energy LLC. The leases authorize data gathering activities, allowing for construction of meteorological towers on the Outer Continental Shelf at sites that range from 6 to 18 miles offshore. (Back in 2002, Cape Wind Associates received approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to erect a meteorological tower off the coast of Massachusetts, but the federal process at that time did not involve a lease.) The new leaseholders will share their data with the Interior Department's Minerals Management Service (MMS) to help the agency evaluate future offshore wind power proposals. See the Interior Department press release, the MMS Renewable Energy Program Web site, and for reference, the Cape Wind press release from 2002.
The exploratory leases are a key step for a number of proposed projects, including one off the coast of Delaware and four off the coast of New Jersey. Bluewater Wind proposes to build a 450-megawatt (MW) wind power facility off the coast of Delaware and a 350-MW wind power facility off the coast of New Jersey.
