Over 30 Technologies Have Emerged, at a Faster Pace than Companies Can Digest.
If you think social was disruptive, it was really just the beginning. Altimeter's research team recently convened for our annual research offsite and found over 30 disruptions and 15 trends that have emerged (see below for the full list in our Disruption Database). These disruptions and trends will affect consumers, business, government, the global economy; with accelerating speed, frequency and impact.
Four Major Business Disruptions Emerge - Business Leaders Must Prepare.
Out of these disruptions and trends, Altimeter identified four major themes that will be disruptive to business. Below is a preview of Altimeter's four business disruption themes, with a definition and short description of each. In the coming weeks, we'll publish a short report explaining these themes in more detail.
Everything Digital: An increasingly digital landscape - including data, devices, platforms and experiences - that will envelop consumers and businesses.
Everything Digital is the increasingly digital environment that depends on an evolving ecosystem of interoperable data, devices, platforms - experienced by people and business. It's larger than the scope of Internet of Things, as it's pervasive or ambient – not defined only by networked sensors and objects, but including capabilities such as airborne power grids or wireless power everywhere. Everything Digital serves as the backdrop for our next three themes.
Me-cosystem: The ecosystem that revolves around "me," our data, and technologies that will deliver more relevant, useful, and engaging experiences using our data.
Wearable devices, near-field communications, or gesture-based recognition are just a few of the technologies that will make up an organic user interface for our lives, not just a single digital touchpoint. Digital experiences will be multiplied by new screen types, and virtual or augmented reality. Individuals who participate will benefit from contextualized digital experiences, in exchange for giving up personal data.
Digital Economies: New economic models caused by the digital democratization of production, distribution, and consumption.
Supply chains become consumption chains in this new economy as consumers become direct participants in production and distribution. Open source, social, and mobile platforms allow consumers to connect with each other, usurping traditional roles and relationships between buyers, sellers, and marketplaces. Do-it-yourself technologies such as 3D printing and replicators will accelerate this shift, while even currency becomes distributed and peer-to-peer-based. In this new economy, value shifts towards digital reputation and influence, digital goods and services; even data itself. The downside? An increasing divide between digital "haves" and the digital "have-nots."
Dynamic Organization: In today's digital landscape, dynamic organizations must develop new business models and ways of working to remain relevant, and viable.
Business leaders grapple with an onslaught of new technologies that result in shifting customer and employee expectations. It's not enough to keep pace with change. To succeed, dynamic organizations must cultivate a culture, mindset, and infrastructure that enables flexibility and adaptability; the most pioneering will act as adaptive, mutable "ad-hocracies."

First of all, many thanks for the PS3 Media Server. After struggling with other programs on Linux trying to get media serving (and transcoding) working I found this program and it worked right from the beginning, no pain required
I have a question regarding the playback order. I serve mostly music and I find that the PS3 displays and plays back the tracks in alphabetical order which is a problem when listening to classical music... Is there a way set the playback order to the track number order instead? If not, maybe in a future version the track number can be tucked in front of the track name so the playback will be in order?

Any suggestions on helping a first grader improve her writing speed? She is struggling to finish her classroom assignments- particularly when copying sentences. She has started practicing sentence writing at home by copying from the books she reads. Her pencil grip is a little off and she is very resistant to my suggestions to change it. Also, I think she is going to need to keep practicing over the summer- any thoughts there? Thanks in advance!
She has got to change that pencil grip!! Its now or never (may be too late already, but at least there's a chance it may change)! I speak as a mom who was an elementary teacher in my "other life." Try some pencil grippers that might help her hold her pencil properly -- this will save her callouses on her fingers later in life & may improve her speed, too. As far as the writing speed goes, is she taking time to form each letter properly/carefully? If this is the issue, I would talk to the teacher and see if she can extend time on the assignments, at least for your daughter. There is no reason to speed up writing if it sacrifices legibility! Again, this is when the habits of writing are really being formed -- better to go slow and write neatly / carefully than race through assignments whipping out sloppy work. Once she gets her writing down very well, I imagine she will speed up naturally.
Is it perhaps a fine motor skills problem? My daughter had a similar issue in Kindergarten, and her teacher recommended writeoutofthebox.com. The box includes a lot of little toys and activities that help children improve their fine motor skills, finger strength, etc. It seems to have helped my daughter.
I would love help finding the specific reference that tells about receiving sacraments {especially Confirmation} and how RE and others do not have the authority to withhold? I found the reference piece about how parents are to be the first and foremost educators of their children, and I know it's out there somewhere! Help? I know someone wrote in about the youth group a couple of weeks ago and how the young ladies were concerned about pressure for intimacy--and now our youth group is having some problems. They talked with the young girls 13-15 about Theology of the Body. Parents were NOT allowed. One of the sponsors offered to go in and listen, so that she would know what was discussed. She was absolutely SHOCKED when the 3 girls in charge ages 16-19 shared very intimate, sexual details of their lives and exploits. Nothing said about grace, avoiding temptation or anything. This is why they they didn't want the parents in there, I guess. I can't even say how relieved I am that my daughter was not in there! One of our friends, whose daughter WAS in there, was so upset by the stories, that she couldn't quit crying and doesn't want to go through with her confirmation now. I think some heads are going to roll! I want a different training for my kids! I'm going to talk to the RE and priest with two other moms who feel the same way. Please help, or at least PRAY!
So we were at mass last Sunday and my 8 year old is kneeling next to me and says what word does He say. And after a minute I realized she was referring to the part of the mass..'Lord I am not worthy to receive you under my roof but only say the word and my soul shall be healed...' What word does he say to heal our souls she repeats again? Ummm...Well maybe ask Daddy after mass. At least she is really listening and paying attention!
Thanks for the ideas- i think i'll start with the pencil grippers. Sometimes the easiest solutions are right in front of us and we don't see them. The teacher is already extending her working time- right through recess. :( She does take a lot of time to carefully shape, size, and space her letters, but she's a lot faster copying spelling words than sentences. She has a lot of trouble starting the task (she'll get overwhelmed by a word 3 sentences in and declare she can't do it and not want to start), or staying focused (stop to sharpen pencil, or erase the word because it wasn't quite right, or check out what else is going on). I think a lot of it is anxiety, and so we work on "just finish it and its ok if it's not perfect." I like the sound of writeoutifthebox, but it's a little pricey and I'm worried that she would reject some of the activities as being too babyish. I'll check at the library to see if they have it or similar resources.
Intruder Lock Downs in Elementary Schools since Newtown? Can you tell me what you think about them, how your school is going about them? Specifically at the elementary school age-do they hit your sensibilities the wrong way or are they no big deal to you (in terms of burdening the children with fear if they are not handled carefully)? I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'll tell you quickly, I understand the necessity and want them to occur, but feel they need to be handled very carefully in regards to the age they are dealing with. I am struggling with my school. Would love to hear any and all perspectives and what is going on at your school. God bless and thanks endlessly for your constant support! Josie
Josie, our girls have had lock down drills at their Catholic school twice since Newtown. The teachers cover the windows and the kids huddle in the corners. The classroom doors are kept locked (from the inside) at all times now. During the drill the administrators go through the halls and rattle doorknobs and bang on doors so everyone in the classrooms can practice being quiet. I find it all so upsetting but I have to say that my girls do not seem bothered by it at all -- they regard it matter-of-factly as just another safety drill, like a fire drill. My girls are 8 and 12; the 8-year-old knows nothing of Newtown and the 12-year-old has a vague idea of what happened. But the bottom line is that the lockdown drills do not seem to bother them at all.
Josie, I only have one in school right now--my oldest is in kindergarten at Catholic school. In light of Sandy Hook, his school has recently revised their lock down procedures and has worked with out local police department to do so. They used to do the basic "huddle in the corner and lock the door" thing, but now the older grades are also being taught to escape through windows or nearby doors, if possible, and, as a last resort, to fight back by barricading doors, throwing books, chairs, etc. These more extreme measures are being introduced gradually. At the kindergarten level, they're still using the more passive measures of just being quiet. My son doesn't really understand the whole thing. (He calls them "lock out" drills and doesn't know what a lock down drill is for. He has no knowledge of Sandy Hook.) Like Anne in NC said, he takes it in stride and views it as just another safety drill. I'm sad that these drills are required, but I'm glad that the kids are practicing how to stay safe.
thanks so much Anne, so helpful. do you know ifthey use a code word or do the kids know it is a drill in the event of an intruder? God bless!
thanks MR, it helps me so much to see what other schools are doing so i can assess. how much did you guys as parents know before they implemented the procedures? my guys are 8 and 5 in the school and dont know about newtown. i want the drills but i want to be sure they don't cause more fear than necessary. i feel they can accomplish both objectives if they take a few key simple steps. i do think my 10 year old could handle more info, but the little guys i worry about. God bless and thanks so much!
Any ideas for how to talk about Lent to a 3 (almost 4) year old? I've mostly just told her that it's a time when we try extra hard to be good to make Jesus feel better for the bad men who hurt Him, and that we're going to give up candy. I don't really know if I can make it any clearer than that, or if it's even that important to talk about at this age? Also, Easter is a little fuzzy for her because she has no idea, I'm sure, what it means to rise from the dead. I'm sure once all my kids are older, the youngest ones will start to get an idea what it's all about from the things we all do together, but I'm loving the fact that I can get started talking about the seasons of the Church, and I just want to present it clearly to my oldest. Thanks!
Anne - My son is in 4th grade and takes particularly long with his work - esp. math. The reasons are similar to a couple you mention w/ your daughter. He's easily distracted while doing his homework and he is constantly erasing and rewriting to make his letters perfect. I, too, have told him to just let it go - it needs to be legible but not perfect. Josie - I have a 9-yr.old and 5-yr. old in Catholic school. They do intruder drills. Doesn't seem to bother them. Actually, the little ones seem more bothered by the fire drills b/c of the volume of the alarm.
I have a couple of things to comment on. The first one is the penmanship issue. I have had students, and have one now, who are so meticulous it cuts into recess/play time, which is just as important as academics or penmanship. I have found this year that a timer is working. If it is procrastination it will work. If the child is obsessing over the formation of the letters it might not. That is another issue. I have found that these issues usually resolve on their own. If they don't, then some kind of intervention may be necessary. Grips do help as well as well as a lot of positive reinforcement. As far as lock down's go, we have started them also. We go into our 'Bear Cave" to hibernate. All the kids are OK with it. We tell them we are practicing to be safe. The parents have seemed more concerned than the children. We just tell them that just like fire drills, it is necessary to practice just in case we ever have to hibernate for real, it is a way to keep safe. It is very sad that we have to do this, but it does get them used to being quiet in an emergency situation.
Josie -- I don't know about a code word during the drill; I think they just announce over the loudspeaker that they are having a lockdown, but I'm not sure. Before the first drill the principal sent out a memo that was sensitive to parental anxieties and explained some of what would be happening. Most of my information comes from my daughters. MR -- throwing books and escaping out windows, wow. So sad and scary. I'm glad that the kids don't have a problem with it. MaryC -- for Lent at that age I think you should go for visual and tactile experiences. Get or make a set of Resurrection eggs; they are wonderful. We always have a "prayer garden" during Lent -- we cut flower shapes from colored paper, and each day we right an intention in the center. Then we glue it to green posterboard and say a prayer. We also put aside a can of food every day and bring it to the church food pantry once a week. Don't be afraid to have some fun too -- I try to make Holy Week in particular a week that is different from every other week of the year. Do a palm craft on Palm Sunday. We have Palm Sundaes, with ice cream. We also play pin the tail on the donkey, since a donkey was a key player on that day. We use purple napkins and placemats throughout Lent, and then white on Easter. There is a website called Catholic Icing that has lots of great ideas.
Mary C- my 3.5 year old knows Easter is when Jesus died but came back from the dead and that's really cool because he's the only person who can come back from the dead in real life. Maybe it helps that he knows about mummies and has seen Daddy and uncles play video games where you die but then come back to life? Anyway so far I've just explained Lent as a time of getting ready for Easter, just like Advent was getting ready for Christmas. I figure he'll naturally see that the tone is more somber by the lack of cookie baking and caroling! Anne-does she have a cousin or aunt or someone else who could be a pen pal? Doing some fun casual writing like that would be good practice but with a lot less pressure and anxiety hopefully!
Hi everyone (and Josie)-- a bit more info about the lock down procedures at my son's school. Right after Sandy Hook, the principal sent a letter saying that the school leaders, parish leaders, and police were going to revise the procedures--the new ones are the ones I described above. I don't remember if he asked for parent input, but I think it would have been welcome (although I'm sure the opinion of the experts would have been held in much higher regard). Parents were not notified about what the new procedures would be in advance, though. On the day they did their first drill after Christmas (last week, I think), the principal sent a letter home outlining what the new procedure is. Also, I should have noted that one element of the new procedure is to eliminate the use of code words. Now, the plan is to use the loudspeaker to communicate as much information as possible, clearly and concisely.
Lynnea, That sounds like a huge red flag to me. I would share your concerns with your priest, who ultimately is the authority over administering the Sacraments...not the DRE or religious educator at your parish. These 2 booklets outline the Church's strong support of parents' PRIMARY role in educating their children in the Faith & in preparing them to receive the Sacraments: Home Schooling and the New Code of Canon Law (by Dr. Edward N. Peters, Christendom College Press) & Responsibilities and Rights of Parents in Religious Education (by the Catholic Home School Network of America). At one time, both were available from Seton Educational Media. Stand firm in what you know to be best for your child (especially in preserving their innocence) & do not allow yourself to be bullied if it unfortunately should come to that. I would be cautious is using Theology of the Body materials with teens, as some of Christopher West's TOB materials tend to be over-sexualized & do not touch deeply enough on our tendency towards sin, modesty, chastity & being mindful to keep away from (or from being) an occasion of sin. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you & be confident in the Sacramental graces of your marriage to do what you know is best for your child(ren). God bless!
Thank you so much, Patricia, for writing back. I have felt so lost these past few days, and am, most likely, going to make an appointment to speak to both of them. This past summer, the priest and RE director held a 7 week course of TOB. I considered going, until I was informed that NO parents were allowed. At all. I decided that we would not be taking that class. The problem is, the RE director is ALWAYS trying to separate parents and their teens. I find it wildly frustrating, and of great concern. Then, this whole situation with the girls from Confirmation class helped to catapult me off of dead-center, and into problem-solving mode. I will go in with 2 other moms who feel much the same way, but I believe I may have to be the spokesman, as they are both shy and intimidated by our priest. I was able to find one of the booklets you mentioned, and have it on order. Thank you, and please pray for me and the success of this endeavor!
Lynnea, A website for you to look at: www.familyhonor.org Family Honor is an organization that understands and embraces the parents as the primary educator of their children with a special emphasis on the virtue of chastity. You might find some helpful resources there. Also, the Catechetical Formation in Chaste Living: Guidelines for Curriuclum and Publication put out by the USCCB in2008 would be a good reference. Look at #2 under the section titled "Role of Parents/Guardians" where it strongly states "parents/guardians are to be the first and foremost educators of their children. This God-given responsiblity cannot legitimately be taken away by other powers or institutions." #3 under the same heading talks about how parents have the choice of where their children receive education in human sexuality.
Jenny: Great resource! Thanks! Lynnea: I understand teachers not wanting parents present at times so that it is not a distraction or so youth can speak more openly...the flip-side is...separation & restriction of parents being present with their children can make the situation look suspicious when a good reason is not given. When our children were in parish religious ed. at our old parish, I asked to review the materials that would be used ahead of time. As a parent, you have that right. Your parental role should not be usurped & a barrier should not be set up between you & your children when a well-intentioned, but often misguided, DRE seeks to be the trusted adult in your place. Remember, you have every right to take charge of your daughter's Confirmation preparation. There are tons of solid materials out there to assist you if you are hesitant. You are in my prayers! Be calm, not confrontational, making it perfectly clear that you are grateful for the parish's involvement in Confirmation preparation & that you only want what you feel is best for your child. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. God bless!

EAGLE, Colorado - Former Eagle County commissioner candidate Shayne Mitchell called domestic violence allegations "unfounded," and prosecutors agree with him, dropping all three misdemeanor charges.
The accusations derailed Mitchell's county commissioner campaign. He was running against incumbent Jon Stavney.
When the charges were dropped, prosecutors told Eagle County Court Judge Katharine Sullivan that the alleged victims did not want to pursue the case any further - the first time they'd been called "alleged" victims, Mitchell said.
Prosecutors told the judge that they didn't think they'd be able to get a conviction.
The charges were dropped Dec. 20.
"There were substantial financial costs, as well as emotional costs," Mitchell said.
Mitchell's ex-wife had had some significant health issues stemming from the onset of epilepsy. She's in her early 40s, Mitchell said.
"My daughter and I talked about it so I set her up with a bedroom in my home," Mitchell said. "We got her with some neurologists to get the help she needed. She lives healthy now."
There was a time frame set to that, Mitchell said. That time frame came and went and months more passed, he said. He repeatedly told her she needed to come up with different living arrangements.
The last time he told her, the discussion ended in an argument, Mitchell said.
His daughter told police she heard her mother and father arguing and called police.
"Less than an hour after the last time I told her that, I was arrested," Mitchell said.
His ex-wife and daughter live in a different county, in an apartment for which he paid the first and last month's rent and the damage deposit, he said.
"It's going to sting for a while, but I don't regret doing it and having a part in helping her get healthy," Mitchell said.
He said he has strong feelings about what he was put through.
"It's my opinion that some of the systems put in place to protect people have the potential to damage families," Mitchell said. "Something like this gets so sensationalized and sometimes the facts are obscured and ignored."

After sunset and moonrise - wildlife drama in the darkness
About two hours after the fawns passed that camera, a mountain lion started advancing toward their locale. My camera captured him heading that way.
I also saw a black bear, a young and small one, nearby. That bear fled from me so fast that all that I saw was the soles of his hind paws and his glossy black fur. I thought that he might start somersaulting through the green grass as he rumbled and tumbled away from me. I do know that black bears prey on fawns. That mother deer and her offspring have dangerous times ahead of them.
You can watch the video at Youtube or here.
I am still visiting my friend's house for internet access so I apologize that I haven't been visiting or commenting on your blogs. I hope that we can solve our internet problems soon!

Wow! I am just stunned by your landscape shots tonight! Some of those should be hanging in an art gallery somewhere.
Those fawns are so tiny! We saw so many small deer herds tonight when we drove out past the lake that I lost track of how many. I didn't see any tiny fawns, though! Here's hoping those little guys stay hidden from all those predators.

I don't WANT to know the outcome!! Those fawns are so TINY! They look very new. I sure hope they make it. But I guess one can't take sides in that world... Love that late-afternoon shot with the white clouds. Can I just come for the day???

Glad to see R's toe continues to improve. Both dogs look wonderful. With K's exercise routine and excellent home cooked diet, there's every reason to hope she'll be able to keep up with you for years and years due to her extraordinary conditioning.
You mentioned some flooding problems in the house a while ago. Is there any chance K is smelling something in the house that you can't smell that bothers her? Although it seems logical that R would also notice any odd smells. Is it just areas where she feels especially closed in? Mama had a Dane once who was afraid of ceiling fans for reasons mama never could phantom.
Hope your internet situation improves. There was a terrible problem recently with people being unable to leave comments on blogspot.com blogs. Sounds like some people are still having problems. We turned off the 'stay signed in' box on our Google Account and we clear everything out of our browser every time we use the computer. After the first few days of irritation, we've been able to comment again.

I have heard that does are very clever about keeping their babies safe from harm. Like finding a special place for them to stay, and Doe taking off running to fool the predator! Lets wish Mrs. Doe lots of luck in raising her family!

Stephen's Whisky of the Month
Message from Stephen Davies, General Manager
As one would expect the cellars of Culloden House brim with Malt Whiskies, a passion for over 10 years which has resulted in us being recognized as Malt Whisky Ambassadors and a Malt Whisky Embassy by the Scottish Malt Whisky Society.
Many of our malts are rare, exclusive and not available to purchase in even the more famous whisky shops, that is because we buy many of them from private collectors and specialty auctions which provide 100% provenance as well as the best possible price.
So, what of this impressive collection, is it under lock and key? Is it that exclusive that it becomes elusive? No, whisky is to be enjoyed, they make it to drink it, as they say "Save it for a rainy day" well maybe that's why God affords us so many rainy days in Scotland! You are invited to visit our famous whisky trolley, 160 of the best bottles around, some expensive but mostly affordable so as not to draw your breath like a big peaty Islay malt.
Uisge Beatha, 'the water of life', is without doubt Scotlands greatest export, so, sit back in our Forbes Library Bar and allow us to pour you a good dram, Slainte Mhath!
Port Ellen, 27-year-old
Signatory Cask Strength Collection (Scotland)
Diageo has released a number of highly-acclaimed expressions of Port Ellen under its 'Special Release' programme, but some very good independent bottlings are also to be found. They include this 27-year-old single cask bottling, distilled in February 1983, just a few months before the distillery closed, and finished in a wine-treated butt before being bottled in April of this year. It comes courtesy of Signatory Vintage Scotch Whisky Co Ltd, formerly of Edinburgh, but now based at the Perthshire distillery of Edradour. The nose is sweet and fruity, with vanilla, peat, black pepper and tobacco notes. Sweet and malty on the palate, with subtle peat and soft oak notes. Barley sugar with the addition of water, and the peat becomes much more muted. Steadily drying in the lengthy finish, with no adverse oak tannins. Stands up very well for its age. 55.7% ABV,

Note: This statute has other subsections that are limited to the regulatory scheme applicable to practitioners, such as medical doctors and pharmacists. If the defendant is being charged as a practitioner tailor the instruction accordingly. See also Illegal Sale or Possession of Prescription Drugs, Instruction 8.1-14 .
The defendant is charged [in count __] with obtaining a prescription drug by fraud. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
no person shall (obtain or attempt to obtain / procure or attempt to procure the administration of) a drug that is required by any applicable federal or state law to be dispensed pursuant only to a prescription or is restricted to use by prescribing practitioners only1 by <insert one of the following:>
§ 21a-108 (1) (a): fraud, deceit, misrepresentation or subterfuge.
§ 21a-108 (1) (b): the forgery or alteration of a prescription or of any written order.
§ 21a-108 (1) (c): the concealment of a material fact.
§ 21a-108 (1) (d): the use of a false statement in any prescription, order or report required by law.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Obtained or
procured prescription drug
The first element is that the defendant (obtained or attempted to obtain / procured or attempted to procure the administration of) a prescription drug, specifically <insert type of drug>. Obtain and procure have their ordinary meaning. Attempt has its ordinary meaning.
[<Insert if applicable:> "Administer" means the direct application of a controlled substance, whether by injection, inhalation, ingestion or any other means, to the body of a patient or research subject by: (A) A practitioner, or, in (his/her) presence, by (his/her) authorized agent, or (B) the patient or research subject at the direction and in the presence of the practitioner, or (C) a nurse or intern under the direction and supervision of a practitioner.]
Element 2 - Means
The second element is that the defendant did so by <insert as appropriate:>
§ 21a-108 (1) (a): fraud, deceit, misrepresentation, or subterfuge.

[<Insert if applicable:> "Prescription" means a written, oral or electronic order for any controlled substance or preparation from a licensed practitioner to a pharmacist for a patient].
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant (obtained or attempted to obtain / procured or attempted to procure the administration of) a prescription drug, and 2) did so through <insert specific allegations>.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of
obtaining a prescription drug by fraud, then you shall find the defendant
guilty. On the other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to
prove beyond a reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the
defendant not guilty.

The better studies on the Great Hunger have all been written by Irish Americans, Coogan contends, since they are outside the British tenure track loop and don't have to bow the knee to this kind of shibboleth.
"Christine Kinealy, James Donnelly Junior, Bob Scally – all these guys have written about the Famine in a moving way and are above reproach. They don't follow a hidebound path."
Unlike their illustrious predecessors, these Irish American historians don't give credence to the idea that it didn't matter that food was exported from Ireland during the Famine. Nor have they shied away from examining the impact and legacy on the people who experienced it and their descendents.
"Two million died. It is two million by the way because modern scholarship shows that the loss to the birth rate was more than just a million. Whole families perished and there's no records. The fevers were devastating and then there were all the diverted births, of children born on ships or born in America," Coogan explains.
"We lost through death and emigration three million out of a population of nearly nine. There was a psychological aspect to it too, a condition called learned helplessness where the experience is so overwhelming that you simply accept your fate. That learned helplessness has played itself out in all the decades that have followed."
It didn't help that a chorus of high-handed British officials saw the subsequent death of millions of Irish paupers as "God's lesson" for their supposedly shiftless neighbors, Coogan says.
In The Famine Plot Coogan underlines how a toxic stew of anti-Irish sentiment, amoral economic opportunism and longstanding religious discrimination, led – he maintains – to one of the earliest examples of how an engineered food shortage became a covert policy of ethnic cleansing.
Whether you accept this claim or not, that British officialdom pursued a premeditated policy to let Irish paupers die, or whether you believe that laissez-faire economics and political indifference (which is in some ways worse) led to mass starvations, there's no question that it's the darkest chapter in Britain's colonial past.
Many Irish readers will be familiar with the details of the Irish Famine, the numbers who died, the dangerous voyages on coffin ships in search of relief, and the legacy of that crisis on the Irish diaspora of nearly 80 million people.
But nothing can prepare you for the book's emotional wallop, as Coogan vividly recreates the hell on earth conditions that our ancestors navigated and then were haunted by after the fact. Their voices, the needless horror they witnessed, have rarely been so passionately expressed.

Knitter's Review
September 12, 2013
If I told you I was reviewing an acrylic yarn that glows in the dark when you shine light on it, you'd probably check your calendar to see if it was April 1st. I don't blame you. After the recycled kitty litter and dental floss reviews, who can blame you for being suspicious?
But such a yarn really exists. It's called Lumio, and this week I give it a try.

Tucked away in the Frisco Transit Center, the worth of the Piccolo Snack Bar isn't in its size, but in the comforts that it offers. Riders of the Summit Stage, Colorado Mountain Express and Greyhound bus through Frisco will now have more than just shelter from the wind and snow this season - they will also find service and a smile.Susan Winningham, owner of the Piccolo Snack Bar, can be found behind the counter, ready to cheer up a driver's or a rider's day with a hot beverage or a snack. The shop hosts a range of snacks and food available, from oatmeal and cinnamon rolls, to burritos and granola bars, to the usual chocolate bars and ice cream. Drinks include coffee, tea, cocoa and cider, as well as cold soft drinks. The shop has been open since Sept. 26, and also handles ticket sales for Greyhound bus lines and Summit Stage trips to Leadville. "The Summit Stage drivers have all been great," Winningham said of her customer base. "Everybody has been very helpful, very patient."Piccolo Snack Bar is the only one of its kind in Summit County transit stations, and one of the few for this section of the Greyhound line as well. "Between Denver and Vail and Grand Junction, we're it for the Greyhound folks," said Winningham. Winningham currently lives in Summit Cove, though she previously lived in Frisco. Before that, she and her husband spent time living in Prague, Czech Republic. Winningham has worked as a massage therapist for many years, and says that the snack bar business is a new venture for her."It's a fun job, kind of like being a tour guide," she said, explaining that in addition to selling tickets, she's often giving people advice about where to go and what to do around the county. "My favorite part is standing and talking to people."
It's likely that the Piccolo Snack Bar will see quite a lot of foot traffic this season. According to assistant Summit County manager Thad Noll, the total ridership of the Summit Stage for 2012 will be around 1.7 million people."That's more than it's been the last couple years, but it's not as high as our peak."The highest ridership occurred in 2006 to 2007 and 2007 to 2008, which recorded over 2 million riders on the Stage. Though 2012 isn't in the peak range, it is higher than last year, which came in at 1.6 million riders."The snow always has an impact on ridership, but I think the economy had a bigger impact," Noll said when asked the reason for the number fluctuation. Steve Stirling, operations manager at the Summit Stage, says that the Piccolo Snack Bar's dual service of food and ticket sales is useful."I think it's a real neat operation. It can go a long way to help provide some services both as a snack bar and as a ticket agent for Greyhound," Stirling said. As for the snack bar's potential effect on the number of riders, Noll said, "I don't know that it will increase ridership, but it will for sure make it more enjoyable. When you're waiting for a bus or in between bus rides, hop in and get a snack, it will make the place a little more lively."

In another sign that the worst of the housing crisis is behind the Bay Area, foreclosures dived in the South Bay, East Bay and Peninsula in September, ForeclosureRadar reported Thursday.
While the drop in foreclosures is good news for struggling homeowners, the declining number this year is partly behind a shortage of homes for sale.
That has been frustrating to investors and first-time homebuyers looking for lower-priced homes to buy.
The steep drop -- mirrored in California's foreclosure activity -- came as five major banks prepared to implement the standards of a national mortgage settlement.
The banks -- Citi, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Ally/GMAC -- agreed to the settlement in the wake of a "robo-signing" scandal over forged and faulty foreclosure documents. That settlement's more than 300 provisions kicked in Oct. 1.
Foreclosures -- homes taken back by the bank or sold at the courthouse steps -- dropped 21 percent from August in the four counties of the East Bay, Peninsula and South Bay, the Discovery Bay foreclosure tracking service reported.
The 687 foreclosures were just under half those of August 2011, when 1,289 homes were put on the auction block, according to the report.
Notices of default, the first step in the foreclosure process, dropped 23 percent from the previous month in the four counties. Over the year, the number of notices banks sent out was half that from a year ago. There were 1,141 notices compared with 3,436 in September 2011.
Banks appear to be "in no rush" to foreclose, said Sean O'Toole, the company's CEO.
As foreclosures drop, banks are turning more to short sales -- the sale of a home for less than the value of its mortgage -- and loan modifications to deal with struggling borrowers.
That can be seen in the large backlog of homes in the foreclosure process, ForeclosureRadar spokeswoman Michelle Lenahan said.
For example, about 5,700 homes in Contra Costa County are in some stage of foreclosure.
If homebuyers "are wondering where their inventory is, it's in all those homes in process but not making it to a trustee sale," Lenahan said.
The shortage is driving up prices, which may be persuading some homeowners who have received default notices to delay seeking a short sale, said Steve Mun, a short-sale specialist with Keller Williams in Cupertino. Mun said he's one of a group of preferred specialists two major banks refer people to when they send out default notices. "But I'm not getting any calls," he said.
"Lately everybody seems to be of the notion that housing is coming back," Mun said. "I'm sure that people in difficult situations are hoping that something can come of it, and maybe they will get a huge offer and get out of their situation."
Part of the national settlement includes new restrictions on a sharply criticized practice called "dual tracking." The practice has frustrated tens of thousands of homeowners who have been abruptly foreclosed on even as they are working on a mortgage modification with the same bank.
Dual tracking will be outlawed in California on Jan. 1, when legislation banning it takes effect.

For almost six years now I've been collecting Christmas books. Some from garage sales. Some for a pittance at Ollie's and other discount stores. And one or two from my mother-in-law's �house. My goal had been to have 25 so we could read one each day of Advent — and to have those 25 focus on faith and good character — because stories are powerful. They welcome us and draw us in. They introduce us to different perspectives and show us new ways to see and love. They take big theology and they paint a clear, tangible picture.�
Many of our books tell of a King coming to the small and forgotten, of a crowded place making room for one more to come in out of the cold, of love. That's why I did a small thing: I invited a couple of friends to read with us on the first Sunday of Advent. I wanted our little family to be part of something bigger, even if just by two.
I almost canceled the night before. My husband and I were arguing over ridiculous things. The kids were being so very loud. All. The. Time. And the Christmas decorations? Well, the bins were stacked in the living room.
Don't cancel, said the husband. We need to be more social, and they could care less if the tree is up.
So, I did it. I opened the door, and I welcomed in my friend and her witty son into my real life.
We took off our shoes and ate spinach dip and read books and laughed and forgot that things weren't perfect because our time together was perfect.
And I was the one who felt welcomed.
Would you like to start your own collection of Christmas books? I've created a photo album of our family's books on Facebook, and if you'll comment on the album or in the comment section here at the Simply Faithful blog, I'll enter you for a chance to win two books. "The Perfect Christmas Pageant" by Joyce Meyer offers a sweet lesson in keeping what's most important, most important. A lesson that's good for all ages!�Mary Engelbreit's "Peace on Earth" is gorgeous. It is full of quotes, songs and pictures that you'll be tempted to tear out and frame. Leave a comment by 7 a.m. Dec. 4 and I'll draw a name.

Peru vehicle crash kills Dixfield man
Authorities say at least one person has died in a vehicle crash on Route 108 near the Peru-Rumford town line. Police say Jake Pomeroy of Dixfield, was driving east on Route 108 around 1:30 a.m. this morning. Police believe he hit a patch of black ice, lost control of his vehicle and was ejected. He was not wearing his seat belt and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Just as Pomeroy's car lost control, a pickup truck, also heading east, tried to get out of the way of Pomeroy's vehicle and crashed. The driver of that vehicle was taken to Rumford Hospital, where he was treated and released.
Police blocked off a long section of Route 108 at around 3 a.m. as they investigated the crash.

A Dakota County District judge who pleaded guilty to drunken driving has asked Gov. Mark Dayton to grant him medical disability retirement.
Judge Michael Sovis was sentenced to two years' probation in Ramsey County District Court Wednesday. The 64-year-old judge was arrested Christmas Eve when he hit several parked cars in St. Paul. Court documents say his blood alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit for driving.
His attorney, David Ayers, says Sovis has completed 33 days of inpatient treatment at Hazelden. Ayers told the judge Sovis doesn't intend to go back to work as a district judge.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press (http://bit.ly/14SW5WW ) says Sovis has been on the bench since 1988.

A small but growing group of Republicans say the party should perhaps accede to President Barack Obama's demand for higher tax rates for top earners so that the attention can shift to making serious cuts in benefit programs like Medicare and Medicaid, a top Republican senator said Sunday.
Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, a member of the Banking Committee who had earlier presented a deficit-reduction plan of his own, said on "Fox News Sunday" that if Republicans gave in to the president's chief demand, then "all of a sudden, the shift goes back to entitlements and maybe it puts us in a place where we actually can do something that really saves the nation."
Within hours of Corker's comments, Obama and Speaker John Boehner met privately at the White House for negotiations. Administration officials would not offer details of the discussion.
The disclosure of the meeting, however, indicated that private discussions continue in the face of Republican leaders' public statements decrying the lack of progress and the president's refusal so far to specify the sort of deep, long-term reductions in spending for Medicare and other social programs that they insist upon as a condition of their support for raising taxes from high earners.
The White House and Boehner's office issued identical statements afterward saying, "The lines of communication remain open." On Friday, Boehner told reporters that another week had been wasted, with just three weeks left for lawmakers to avert a fiscal crisis.
Also on Friday, Obama spoke privately with congressional Democratic leaders, Sen. Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the House minority leader, presumably to gauge what positions the Democrats in Congress could support.
Republicans have been insisting that the Obama administration agree to substantial savings in entitlement programs as the two sides negotiate how to narrow the country's huge deficits. But Corker is part of a group of Republicans who say that the party ultimately will have to yield to the Obama demand of higher tax rates for top earners, potentially back to the levels that prevailed under President Bill Clinton.
That group of Republicans, he said on Fox, was beginning to realize "that we don't have a lot of cards as it relates to the tax issue before year-end" -- but that a tax-rate concession could be converted into a tactical advantage.
Corker's comments came as key figures on network news programs mixed cautious words of optimism over the fiscal-crisis negotiations between the White House and congressional Republicans with dire warnings about what a failure to act might bring.
Christine Lagarde, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, warned that such a failure was the gravest threat now facing the still-fragile U.S. economy -- greater than the European debt crisis or any uncertainty in China.
"It would result in the stock market really taking a hit," Lagarde said on the CNN program "State of the Union." The overall result could be zero growth next year, not the 2.1 percent growth rate projected by the IMF.

Salish-Kootenai Community College Box 1020 Ronan, MX 59864 PABLO, MONTANA 59855 ISSN: 0528-8592 NEWSPAPER OF THE SALISH, PEND (TOREILLE AND KOOTENAI TRIBES OF THE FLATHEAD INDIAN RESERVATION, WESTERN MONTANA VOLUME 11 NUMBER 19 COLDEST MONTH FEBRUARY 15, 1983 Landmark mission is seriously damaged by local man ST. IGNATIUS -- A 26-year-old St Ignatius man, for reasons as yet unknown, caused over $15,000 worth of damage to the historic Mission Church here. Shoreline rules expected soon The first draft of regulations provided for under Tribal Ordinance 64A, the Shoreline Protection Ordinance, has been completed and is being reviewed by the appropriate staff. Upon completion of the review a second draft will be published for public review and comment for a period of fifteen days, anticipating completion of a final draft as soon thereafter as feasible. The Shoreline Protection Board, being fully aware of the short construction season and the fact that construction during low water is preferred, is expediting the administration procedure in order to cause as little inconvenience as possible for all parties wishing to take advantage of the low water for construction, maintenance, or removal of structures on the south half of Flathead Lake, within the Tribes' Shoreline Protection Ordinance jurisdiction. All applications for lakeshore construction are being accepted and processed as quickly as possible. The tentative implementation of the shoreline rules and regulations is scheduled for March 1, 1983. Application forms and further information are available at the Tribal Realty Office at the Tribal Complex in Pablo (406/675-4600, ext. 441 or 416). Douglas Matt was arrested at the church on the afternoon of February 2 shortly after four Missoula tourists saw him smashing statues and gouging frescoes (paintings on plaster walls). The $15,000 damage estimate is guesswork, according to the Reverends Gus Schmidt and Ignatius Dumbeck. Some of the art may not be repairable. The latest word is that the damage is probably covered by insurance. The church's Nebraska insurance company is contacting an East Coast art restorer, while an Illinois firm is studying photographs to determine whether or not the half-a-dozen smashed statues can be repaired If not, they may be replaced. The damage included an alter table, candle holders, kneeler and lecterns, in addition to the broken statues and a 20-foot high mural that was gouged with a flagpole. (Continued next page) February holiday closures Monday, February 21, will be a holiday for both the Indian Public Health Service — with one exception — and the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Pablo. Tribal offices will remain open. (Seems we traded Washington's birthday for an extra day to pow wow in July.) The one exception is the IPHS pharmacy: it will be open for business as usual February 21, but it will close at 2 p.m. this Friday, February 18.

Turn Fat Into Energy!
Creatine Core assists in transporting long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria (the cells' 'power plant') to make this process more effective. This amplifies an athlete's ability to metabolize fat into muscular energy. While the body produces carnitine naturally, many athletes supplement their intake. Raspberry ketones act as a natural energy booster for anybody on a low-calorie diet.
