Baby's Surgery,
February 20, 2012
One of the members of my church recently gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. At 11 days old she began having breathing problems and it was determined she has a very serious heart defect. She will be having her first surgery tomorrow at U of M at just 2 weeks old. Please pray for this little girl and her family. Thank you.

If Exposé is supposed to have made tabs redundant, why does Safari still support tabs? Why add tabs to iChat after the inception of Exposé?
Adding tabs and split/dual pane browsing makes Finder much more powerful. I find myself stepping into ForkLift less, though I still find I need it for many tasks⦠Disable the ugly icon, and you've got yourself one heck of a Finder! I would prefer 'system' tabs over Chrome tabs, but it seems a challenging task right now. I'm not all that bothered by it, personally, as I've been using Chrome anyway, but consistency is always good, especially on OS X.
Definitely a step in the right direction, thoughâ¦
I would pay a pretty penny for this application if it included some of the window management features of FinderMinder (with the option to exclude dmg volumes, which FinderMinder annoyingly lacks). Please, please, consider adding this feature. It shouldn't be difficult, just a matter of modding DS_STORE files.
interesting but nothing so important that once it expires I'd bother paying for
one of my favorit mac programs! Lightweight and powerful.
- The Finder icon can be disabled (so you get your old icon back) in the settings tab
- The menu icon can be disabled, too
- The Chrome tabs actually integrate very well, check the screenshots
- It expires because it will be a paid application once out of alpha/beta.
of course the need is here. it's always around, somehow. and i dont think its only because of the historical approach of the norton commander.
yet, you don't want to install this at this point:
-it's making your finder icon ugly (gets ugly sunglasses)
-it's installing itself to the menu (which of course is crowded) with no real options
-you REALLY get google chromes tabs.
-if your finder is to show paths on top, totalfinder will only make you look at the first two stances of it
-it's alpha
- IT EXPIRES! (for whatever reason)
messed with mouse clicks, and made the whole OS lag. ran applescript to uninstall after a day.
Very cool concept though.

Here are five standout moments from Sunday's 65th annual Primetime Emmy Awards telecast:
1. Merritt Wever, who won for best supporting actress in a comedy series, delivered what surely must be the shortest speech in Emmy history.
"Thank you so much," she said in accepting the award. "I gotta go. Bye."
It was both bizarre and humorous, prompting host Neil Patrick Harris to deem it the "best speech ever."
2. The five tributes to deceased TV standouts were as touching and emotional as expected. Among them, Rob Reiner, a cast member of "All in the Family," tenderly spoke of how Jean Stapleton brought "humor, heart and soul" to her role as Edith.
Also, a tearful Edie Falco recalled James Gandolfini as a man who was nothing like the mobster he played on "The Sopranos."
"He had tremendous warmth and heart."
3. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler proved again why they should be incorporated into every awards show from here on out. They performed a hilarious bit early in the show, in which they donned 3D glasses, munched popcorn and basically leered at Harris. (Urging him to shed his pants). It saved what was mostly a lackluster opener.
4. In a nod to Emmy history, Kerry Washington appeared with Diahann Carroll as presenters. Washington, who stars in "Scandal," was vying to become the first black performer to win for best lead actress in a drama. Carroll was the first black person, female or male, to ever be nominated for an Emmy.
Gazing out over the audience, the TV veteran cracked, "The men are much more beautiful than when I was working in television."
5. Michael Douglas nabbed a prize for his role in "Behind the Candelabra," a Liberace biopic in which he shared love scenes with Matt Damon. He delivered an innuendo-laced acceptance speech that had him insisting that the award should be shared with his co-star.
"You really deserve half of this," he told Damon. "So do you want the bottom or the top?"

Washington Reacts: Did Christie Pass the 'Test'?
Following New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's nearly two-hour press conference answering questions about the controversial George Washington Bridge lane closures, House Speaker John Boehner (R., Ohio) told reporters that the governor's response was likely sufficient to keep him in contention if he runs for president in 2016.
Asked if Mr. Christie's response was enough to keep him in the top tier of potential 2016 presidential contenders, Mr. Boehner said, "I think so."
Asked if he had watched Mr. Christie's press conference, Mr. Boehner wryly responded, "No, I wasn't fortunate enough to have that opportunity."

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) did not watch the press conference but said he had read the emails released in the case, calling them "really bad." But he said the issue doesn't require congressional attention.
Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown said Mr. Christie passed "the test" with his press conference, calling the governor's response "refreshing" on Fox News' "Happening Now" Thursday afternoon.
"Obviously, he still has to do his due diligence, and that's what you're looking for in a leader, I don't care if it's Democrat or Republican," Mr. Brown said. "He did pass the test."
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus praised Mr. Christie's behavior during the press conference. "Governor Christie did the right thing today and demonstrated what leaders do when actions of the team are unacceptable and wrong," Mr. Priebus said.
Sen. Rand Paul (R.,Ky.)—who trails Mr. Christie by just a few points in recent polling of potential 2016 primary matchups—said he did "not really" have a comment on the revelations about the bridge closure or on today's press conference.
Rep. Frank Pallone (D., N.J.) called for Mr. Christie to "come clean, take full responsibility and explain in detail exactly what occurred" in a statement after the press conference. Calling the Christie administration's behavior "disgraceful" and an "abuse of public trust," Mr. Pallone said, "Today's press conference served to raise more questions than it answered. All of the facts surrounding this incident must be put on the table immediately and any and all appropriate actions should be taken to hold everyone involved accountable."
Rep. Bill Pascrell (D, N.J.) predicted the emails related to the traffic jam were just the beginning. "I think this is much bigger. Like an onion, it's coming off leaf by leaf, falling back, and we're going to see more and more," Mr. Pascrell said.
David Axelrod, a former senior adviser to President Barack Obama, tweeted that Mr. Christie handled the press conference "about as well as he could." He added, "Unless smoking gun turns up tying him to scheme, or others arise, he lives 2 fight another day."
Sen. John Barrasso (R., Wyo.) said he had only seen news reports about the extended press conference, but downplayed the idea it could hurt Mr. Christie's future ambitions. "Elections are about the future, and in 2016 people are going to be focused on their own lives, their own families, their own communities and who cares for someone like them. Things that are happening today in the 2016 election are not going to be part of the future," he said.
The Democratic National Committee issued a scathing statement on Mr. Christie's conduct during the press conference. "For nearly two hours today, Chris Christie stood up and repeatedly made himself out to be the victim," DNC Communications Director Mo Elleithee said. "But Chris Christie is not the victim. The people of New Jersey who trusted him are."
The DNC faulted Mr. Christie for ignoring questions about the lane closures for several months "until his administration was finally caught red-handed," and for creating a culture in his administration where "this type of conduct was considered appropriate."
Mr. Christie addressed reporters Thursday after one of his top staffer's subpoenaed emails showed she had sought to close lanes on the busy George Washington Bridge apparently to punish Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich for not endorsing the governor in his 2013 re-election bid. Mr. Christie fired that staffer Thursday morning. At the press conference, Mr. Christie apologized to New Jersey citizens and said he had been betrayed by his staff.

PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's and women's tennis teams earned matching 5-0 victories over Prairie View A&M today at the Prairie View A&M Tennis Courts. The men's team is off to its best start in program history since 2007 with a 7-3 record while the women's team improves to 2-1.
"I thought both teams showed a lot of focus today," Director of Tennis Steve Moore said. "It was cold and windy, and they made good choices to move their feet extra and to stay extremely focused.
"I'm very impressed with our freshmen, Kerry Galhos and Judit Vives. They are competing very hard and are really learning our system. I'm impressed with how quickly they are learning. I thought our captains did a great job of leading today. Stefania Nicolae and Matt Westmoreland played a very focused match today, as didSandra Burges and Peter Nagy. We are getting very good leadership by example with our captains. We're excited to get back to work and get a little better each day."
The women's team (2-1) jumped out to a 1-0 lead after sweeping all three doubles courts over the Panthers (0-5). The tandem of Maider Martin and Celia Rodriguez started things off with a dominating 6-0 win over Erika Bond and Payton Gore in No. 3 doubles. The senior-freshman duo of Burges and Vives followed with a 6-2 victory over Christine Ngo Gwodog and Sydney Thomas in the No. 2 spot to clinch the doubles point for the Islanders. The duo of Nicolae and Galhos also earned a doubles victory in the No. 1 slot with a 6-2 win over Brittany Harrell and Taylor LeFridge.
The Islanders carried over their momentum into singles play with four consecutive wins to seal the match. Rodriguez powered her way to a straight-set victory over Thomas, 6-1, 6-1, in No. 4 singles to stay undefeated in singles play this season. Nicolae followed suit with a 6-2 first-set victory over Harrell in the No. 1 spot, and followed with a 6-1 second-set win to pad the Islanders' lead to 3-0. Burges didn't waste any time tacking on the Islanders' fourth point of the day with a dominating 6-0, 6-1 victory over Ngo Gwodog in the No. 3 position.
A&M - Corpus Christi captured the match in the No. 2 slot after Martin grabbed a tight three-setter in the No. 2 slot. The sophomore bested LeFridge in the first set 6-1 before dropping a 6-0 second set. Martin then held off LeFridge in the third with an 11-9 victory to give the Islanders' their second victory of the season. Galhos won her first set 6-1 in the No. 5 position over Bond and Vives was ahead 4-0 in the first set against Maria Lackey in the No. 6 slot when the match was clinched. Both Galhos and Vives are undefeated in singles play this season.
The men's team (7-3) propelled their way to their sixth consecutive victory with a 5-0 win over the Panthers (0-5). A&M - Corpus Christi opened with a 1-0 lead after garnering the doubles point. Westmoreland and freshman Paul Cook remain undefeated in doubles action after teaming up for a 6-1 victory over Bruno Snyder and Rasaki Gbadamosi in No. 2 doubles. Nagy and Guillaume Rauseo followed suit with a 6-3 win in the No. 1 spot over Jackson Varney and Daniel Vasquez to earn the Islanders the doubles point.
Nagy kept things rolling with his sixth straight win in No. 1 singles. The junior topped Varney 6-1, 6-0 to improve to 7-1 in the No. 1 spot. Westmoreland tacked on another Islanders' point after he defeated Vasquez 6-0, 6-3 in the No. 3 slot. Kuehnen earned his first collegiate win in the No. 4 spot to post the Islanders' fourth point of the day. The freshman picked up a 6-2, 6-2 straight-set victory over Gbadamosi. Rauseo then capped the match with his first win in No. 2 singles. The sophomore won the first set 6-3 over Snyder before taking the second set 6-2. Cook defeated Aldaz in the first set 6-3 in the No. 5 spot and Jordao was leading McIntyre 2-0 in the first on court six when the match was clinched.
The women's team will return home to face UTPA on Monday, Feb. 10 at 3 p.m. at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center. The men's team will next be in action on Sunday, Feb. 16 in Dallas, Texas, against conference foe Oral Roberts.

By Ramzy Baroud
groups have recently suggested a ceasefire, in exchange for a cessation of
Israeli violence. Ehud Olmert responded with a conciliatory speech, cleverly
timed with President Bush's arrival to
standing side by side with
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
The media, once more, indulged in analysing the recent developments, with the full confidence that Olmert's verbal commitment to ending the conflict was indeed genuine. The ball, once again, was placed in the Palestinian court. All eyes are now on Hamas: will it heed to the voice of reason and moderation, as embodied in the character of Abbas? Or will it continue to nurture its sinful alliance with
As western
governments - led or intimidated by the
I took just
10 months to consolidate such a discourse: where the Palestinians, as always
were forced on the defence, desperately trying to show that all the allegations
made against their government are untrue. Meanwhile,
Palestinian government, armed with the popular support of its people, which is
yet to fade despite all attempts, refused to succumb to such pressure. It
continued to argue that recognizing
renouncing violence is equally abhorrent. In the last a few months, since the
June capturing of one Israeli solider,
Most believe that the current violence is intrinsically linked to failed agreements signed between late President Yasser Arafat and the Israeli government. For Palestinians the agreements delivered next to nothing, save a few symbolic 'achievements' - a flag, a postage stamp and the 'triumphant' return of a few exiled Palestinians; but also the killing of over 4,000 Palestinians - the vast majority of whom were civilians - in the six years of uprising.
Dr. Ahmed Yousef, a top advisor to the Palestinian Prime Minister has recently proposed, on behalf of his government, the concept of hudna, or truce. It's more or less consistent with the recent declaration of ceasefire, the latter perhaps a prelude to a longer one. In an article in the New York Times on November 1, 2006, he wrote: "Typically covering 10 years, a hudna is recognized in Islamic jurisprudence as a legitimate and binding contract. It extends beyond the Western concept of a cease-fire and obliges the parties to use the period to seek a permanent, non-violent resolution to their differences."
However, it must be stressed that this position should neither serve as, nor be understood as a personal indictment; Palestinian violence is hardly comparable to that of Israel, the fifth strongest army in the world; death tolls on both sides effortlessly express the disparity of power. While proposing a hunda is maybe an expression of the current Palestinian government's commitment to peace, or perhaps a way out of a terrible bind; regardless, it should neither override nor cancel out the Palestinian people's uncompromising adherence to their just demands for freedom and rights, determined by a Palestinian national consensus and cemented in international law.

Most cataracts develop when aging or injury changes the tissue that makes up your eye's lens.
Some cataracts are related to inherited genetic disorders that cause other health problems and increase your risk of cataracts. Cataracts can also be caused by other eye conditions, medical conditions such as diabetes, trauma or past eye surgery. Long-term use of steroid medications, too, can cause cataracts to develop.
The lens, where cataracts form, is positioned behind the colored part of your eye (iris). The lens focuses light that passes into your eye, producing clear, sharp images on the retina — the light-sensitive membrane on the back inside wall of your eyeball that functions like the film of a camera.
A cataract scatters the light as it passes through the lens, preventing a sharply defined image from reaching your retina. As a result, your vision becomes blurred.
As you age, the lenses in your eyes become less flexible, less transparent and thicker. Age-related changes cause tissues within the lens to break down and clump together, clouding small areas within the lens. As the cataract continues to develop, the clouding becomes denser and involves a greater part of the lens.
Cataracts may develop in only one eye, but they usually develop in both of your eyes. However, the cataracts usually aren't totally symmetrical, and the cataract in one eye may be more advanced than the other.
Cataract types include:
Cataracts that affect the center of the lens (nuclear cataracts). A nuclear cataract may at first cause you to become more nearsighted or even experience a temporary improvement in your reading vision. But with time, the lens gradually turns more densely yellow and further clouds your vision.
As the cataract slowly progresses, the lens may even turn brown. Advanced yellowing or browning of the lens can lead to difficulty distinguishing between shades of color.
Cataracts that affect the edges of the lens (cortical cataracts). A cortical cataract begins as whitish, wedge-shaped opacities or streaks on the outer edge of the lens cortex.
As it slowly progresses, the streaks extend to the center and interfere with light passing through the center of the lens. People with cortical cataracts often experience problems with glare.
Cataracts that affect the back of the lens (posterior subcapsular cataracts). A posterior subcapsular cataract starts as a small, opaque area that usually forms near the back of the lens, right in the path of light on its way to the retina.
A posterior subcapsular cataract often interferes with your reading vision, reduces your vision in bright light, and causes glare or halos around lights at night.
Cataracts you're born with (congenital cataracts). Some people are born with cataracts or develop them during childhood. Such cataracts may be the result of the mother having contracted an infection during pregnancy.
These cataracts also may be due to certain conditions, such as myotonic dystrophy, galactosemia, Lowe's syndrome or rubella. Congenital cataracts don't always affect vision, but if they do they're usually removed soon after detection.

Application launcher and much more.
Quicksilver is a unified, extensible interface for working with applications, contacts, music, and other data.
Anyone using a computer (and the Macintosh is no exception) spends a lot of time locating files and applications, and then carrying out actions on those items. The Finder is a reasonably good tool for getting a visual overview of the contents of your disk, but it isn't ideal for quickly locating and manipulating files, especially if you have a deep and complicated folder structure, or if you prefer keyboard navigation to using the mouse.
Quicksilver allows you to find what you need quickly and easily, while keeping your hands on the keyboard. For example, if you want to launch an application hidden in the depths of your file system, simply activate Quicksilver with a keystroke, type a few letters of the application's name, then hit Return or Enter to launch it. When you don't need Quicksilver, it keeps out of your way, preserving precious screen real estate, and yet you can summon it instantly with a key stroke - just like Mercury the winged messenger. Actually, Roman mythological texts are remarkably silent on whether Mercury could be summoned with a key stroke, but it would have been great if he could. Quicksilver will certainly make you feel as if you have god-like powers.

Hi, just to let you guys know; there are alpha releases being built at: http://code.google.com/p/blacktree-alchemy/ -- these are alphas, but to be honest, they work significantly better under Leopard, many many bugs are fixed. a3 needs manual hacking to get working, but it is worth it IMO.
I have found that spotlight in Leopard works just as well for basic application launching
I was having repeated frozen windows, apps not responding. Needed frequent force quits, restarts. After reading alpha & geira's comments here, I realized the glitches could be from Quicksilver. Uninstalled Quicksilver, then did another restart. No more problems.
When uninstalling apps, remember to delete application support files & preference files. It's best to do this manually. Uninstaller apps often leave files behind. Check in Macintosh HD > Library > Application Support; Macintosh HD > Library > Preferences; Macintosh HD > Users > username > Library > Application Support; Macintosh HD > Users > username > Library > Preferences.
I considered Quicksilver indispensable for some time. But, I was surprised to find that once I could launch programs, contacts and do calculations with Spotlight in 10.5, all of the sudden all the other things I used Quicksilver for (and there were quite a few) no longer seemed worth price of 40MB RAM. Add to this occasional stability issues and I am no longer a user.
However, I am very much looking forward to what Nicholas Jitkoff has next.
I used to love Quicksilver, it really presents an innovative way to communicate with my machine. Unfortunately in daily use I found it very unstable (I have to Force Quit it every now and then) and really slow with bigger catalog sizes. Moreover it looks unmaintained, there haven't been a single update since I started to use it more than a year ago. It's great that the project has became open source, I just hope it wasn't too late.
Am I the only one who likes Butler more than Quicksilver?

Pressing Cmd-Space and having Spotlight pop up now feels just wrong. Quicksilver integrates itself into every process of your Mac if you want it to, and it feels like another part of the OS. Couldn't live without it; trust me, I tried.
Wish Arne & Marcus could put up an "I love/hate this" button. Sure, Quicksilver is pretty nifty. It also is the most likely offender whenever my computer starts behaving badly. Today Safari started hanging on what a sample revealed to be an ABAcquireFileLock call. After a while I noticed Mail was hanging as well, with the cryptic message "searching for sender's image" in the activity window.
Looking in the Console I noticed the error "Couldn't reopen AddressBook database. Home directory may not be ready or is missing" was repeated every second. It took some time googling (on Firefox, since Safari wouldn't start) before I found this article naming Quicksilver as the culprit. Killing with extreme prejudice solved the situation. From now on I think I'll stick to Butler which does 99% of the same thing without the hassle.

Maybe eagles' Andy Reid isn't going anywhere
Andy Reid has been fired by nearly everyone except the man in charge. It's a foregone conclusion in Philadelphia and around the NFL that Reid will coach his last game with the Eagles on Sunday at the New York Giants. Fans already have a wish list for a new coach and the media has speculated for months about Reid's successor.But owner Jeffrey Lurie has said nothing. Lurie hasn't spoken to reporters since Aug. 30, which is when he said another 8-8 season would be "unacceptable."

Regional accents put businesses on the map
An increasing number of British businesses are using regional accents to provide a stronger sense of identity. A survey of UK companies by audio branding specialist PH Media Group has revealed a 27% rise in the number of firms using an accented voice in marketing communications, such as on-hold messages, over the past 12 months. It found that 37% of those questioned now using a regional accent in order to reinforce brand identity and reputation.
More retailers at risk of closing in 2013, says RSM Tenon
According to the latest Tracker research by accountancy firm RSM Tenon, there are set to be more retail insolvencies in 2013 than there were in 2012. Chris Ratten, head of restructuring at RSM Tenon, said: "In 2012, approximately 1,300 retailers were insolvent, a rise of 7% when compared to 2011. We expect this year to be worse as those who have managed to teeter on the edge for the last few years will really feel the full effects of the reduction of discretionary spending, fierce competition and reducing cash reserves. According to our latest Tracker research, we believe that 12,679 retailers have a high risk of insolvency out of over 100,000 retailers nationally. When compared to December 2011, those at high risk have actually increased by 40%".
Most UK businesses don't know if their software is legal
A staggering 93% of UK businesses don't know if their software is legal, according to K3 Managed Services. Not surprisingly, they are worried about passing their next software licensing audits. K3 says there is a 50% chance that a business will be subject to an on-the-spot software audit at any time in a year. And figures from Adobe show that over one in four pieces of software in the UK is illegal. Over the past two years, the cost in fines levied against UK businesses for using unlicensed software has doubled to more than £2 million. However, K3 says that more than 40% of UK businesses are wasting thousands of pounds every year through software over-licensing.
Franchise show offers opportunities for start-ups
The Franchise Show is set to run 22nd to 23rd February at the ExCel centre in London, with over 100 UK and international franchise brands and support companies exhibiting. This free event is to host over 80 seminars, which will offer information on franchise sectors including retail, leisure, mobile, and education.
Most annoying marketing methods – the results are in
A new survey has investigated responses to different marketing communication channels. Conducted by Relevant Insights on behalf of the British Promotional Merchandise Association (BPMA), the survey found that banner ads are the most annoying medium according to 73%, and that only 13% click on online adverts. In addition, 72% of us ignore, mute or change channels during TV ad breaks. 54% are annoyed by direct mail and 44% by radio ads. Magazine advertising only annoys 13% of respondents and promotional merchandise (at 5%) is the least annoying medium.

Tampa, FL - AAA Auto Club South and Budweiser will help protect roadways throughout the Halloween weekend with the 'Tow to Go' program. Tow to Go has safely removed more than 11,600 drunk drivers off roadways since the program began in 1998. Anyone, members and non-members, can call for a 'Tow to Go' ride, Friday, Oct. 29 through Sunday, Oct. 31.
'Tow to Go' provides a confidential ride and tow home from any bar or restaurant – FREE of charge – to anyone who may have had too much to drink by calling 1-800-AAA-HELP (4357). Services are now offered throughout all of Florida, Georgia, and West and Middle Tennessee.
"Halloween is a very busy holiday for bars, restaurants and taverns, since so many folks go out to celebrate because they want to show off their costumes," said Ed Schatzman, senior vice president of automotive services for AAA Auto Club South. "We include Halloween night in our 'Tow to Go' program because people get in costume and don't always act as they normally would and may drink too much or make poor decisions that can have devastating consequences for everyone on our roadways."
"The Tow to Go program is a simple and effective way to help prevent drunk driving," said Kathy Casso, vice president of Corporate Social Responsibility for Anheuser-Busch. "We are proud to join forces with AAA and their team of emergency roadside service technicians on this great designated-driver program that helps to keep roadways safe."
AAA and Budweiser encourage individuals to plan for a safe celebration by being or choosing a 'Designated Driver,' or calling 'Tow to Go' for a safe ride home, rather than allow anyone to drive whose sobriety is in question.
If you are hosting a Halloween party,make sure you do everything possible to make sure your guests don't turn into ghosts:
· Don't make alcohol the main focus of your party. Introduce games and activities that will allow guests to be engaged in something other than drinking.
· Keep your eyes open for guests who may be overindulging. Someone who has had too much to drink will need time to sober up. Enable them to do so by cutting off their alcohol supply.
· Plan ahead to accommodate guests who may become too intoxicated to drive. Prepare a spare bedroom or a designated area for those who will need a place to stay and have the number of a local cab company on-hand.
AAA Auto Club South has 79 branch offices serving more than 4.1 million members in Florida, Georgia, West and Middle Tennessee and Puerto Rico. Since its founding in 1938, AAA Auto Club South has worked to protect and advance freedom of mobility and improve travel safety.

Girl run over in SC Christmas parade
Published: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 11:34 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 3, 2012 at 11:34 a.m.
MURRELLS INLET, S.C. (AP) — Authorities say an 8-year-old girl was run over after falling from a float in the Murrells Inlet Christmas parade.
The South Carolina Highway Patrol says the girl from a fell off a float being pulled by a pickup truck just before 4 p.m. Sunday. Lance Cpl. Judd Jones says the float ran over the girl's legs and stomach.
Jones says the girl was flown to a hospital in serious but non-life-threatening condition. Her name has not been released.

The economic and financial crisis that thundered through the world economy in 2008 still rumbles on today. The downgrade of the US debt rating in August 2011, along with the economic chaos that has taken over the European Union in recent months, have done little to lend confidence to the bio/pharmaceutical market. When analyzing data from our 2011 annual employment survey, readers' outlooks are positive with regard to job security and business growth for 2012. Approximately 64% of respondents feel that their jobs will be secure in 2012, while 81% believe 2012 will bring improved business conditions or, at the very least, not decline.
At the end of 2010, the majority of survey respondents thought that business within the bio/pharmaceutical industry would improve in 2011, but given the enormity of global economic worries, it's no surprise that a speedy recovery has been somewhat delayed.JOB SECURITY IN TROUBLED TIMES
Breaking the data down by the size of the organization, those working in large companies (i.e., companies with more than 10,000 employeees worldwide) are sitting tight: 45.2% say they feel no more or less secure than last year, and 18.3% feel more secure. At small companies with less than 500 employees, anxiety runs higher, with 47.5% saying they feel less secure than last year, but a higher percentage, 30%, saying they feel more secure. The pattern is somewhat reversed when respondents discuss whether they were likely to leave their job involuntarily in the coming year; 10% of respondents working for small companies agreed, as compared with 22% in large companies.
Only 18.8% of all respondents agreed that leaving their job involuntarily was likely, but what about moving on to new pastures voluntarily? A strong 64% of respondents disagree strongly or disagree somewhat that they will leave voluntarily (34.7% were in agreement), so many are either satisfied at work, or mindful that the job market has seen better days. Once again, the size of the company plays an important role in this decision. While 25.6% of respondents from large companies agreed strongly or agreed somewhat that they would leave voluntarily in the coming year, more than half (52.5%) of respondents from small companies thought that they might voluntarily change jobs in the coming year.

Health Information > Healthy Lifestyle > Nutrition > Reflux and Lung Disease
Many people with chronic lung disease also suffer from gastroesophageal reflux (GERD). In this condition, the muscle between the esophagus and stomach is weak and stomach contents and acid back up into the esophagus. This may or may not cause symptoms. Many people can experience heartburn, pain, sore throat, swallowing problems, chronic cough, choking sensation and aspiration. Excess weight and dietary habits can contribute to reflux. Here are a few recommendations to decrease the risk of reflux and heartburn:
Weight loss. Excess pressure in the abdomen can cause stomach contents to back up into the esophagus.
Avoid overeating. Choose several small meals rather than three large meals.
Avoid eating for 2-3 hours prior to bending over or lying down.
Avoid foods that aggravate reflux including fatty foods, citrus and tomato-containing products, chocolate, mint, spicy foods, carbonated beverages, caffeine, and alcohol.

Wish the JGL could've been there. I miss my friends from home! But it's nice making sure that the other students enjoy Toronto as well. I've figured it out. I might just stay in my room and surf if I'm by myself, but now that I know that people out there are like that and won't get to experience Toronto well unless I drag them out... <grin>
I prepared some hot chocolate for my friends as we chatted in the common room. I showed them the airmail packet and told them how my mom sent me the chocolate with hankies and lots of love when she heard how homesick I was. They all went "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..."
And my reading is going well, too! Now that I've figured out that I'm interested in "communities of practice", I've turned up a _gazillion_ papers to read about knowledge management and the spread of information... I really like writing my thoughts down in that notebook, and I'm starting to get enough material to want to write a blog post or mini-lit-search on knowledge management in communities of practice. Another interesting topic would be inferencing communities from bookmarks and other shared resources. Anyway, we'll see.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, Nov. 26, 2012
AIKEN COUNTY, S.C. -- The website states "accredited" and the diploma looks real, but an Aiken County woman feels all her hard work and money were wasted.
"I've been gipped, it's a fake, I've lost money. I don't have a real diploma," Britney Mosier said.
Mosier gave up a lot, including high school, when she became a mother for the first time.
"I actually have three kids. I'm a stay-at-home mom," she said.
But now, seven years later, Mosier is ready to make a better life for her and her children.
"I actually applied for Aiken Tech. I wanted to get my CNA," she said.
The only thing standing between her and her dream of going to college was a high school diploma.
"I figured I could go to Cornerstone School because it was quick, it was easy, and it was simple," the young mother said.
Mosier found Cornerstone Christian Correspondence School online.
"It actually had a stamp thing that said it was accredited," she said.
And, in bold print, the website states: "Accreditation certificate available upon request."
Mosier received her diploma just a few weeks, several tests and $85 later.
"I was thrilled! Calling everyone telling them, 'Hey, I graduated!'"
Mosier registered for classes at Aiken Tech, had her student ID made and even bought books.
And then, "They tell me, 'Ma'am your Cornerstone diploma is no good.'"
Not only would Aiken Tech not accept her diploma but the Air Force, Marines and National Guard would not accept her husband's diploma from Cornerstone Christian Correspondence School either.
The online school is not a stranger to the Better Business Bureau. The school has an "F" rating. Most of the complaints center around diploma problems.
"Another red flag is if they're really flaunting the accreditation. There is no reason to," said Gigi Turner with the BBB of the CSRA.
A spokesperson with Cornerstone did not want to do an interview but told News 12 On Your Side over the phone that their website clearly states it's privately accredited and that not all schools and branches of the military accept their diploma. They also told us, "All the information is on the website and it's up to each student to check it."
"I am very angry with the school," Mosier said.
The website for Cornerstone Christian Correspondence School shows the school is accredited through The Accrediting Commission, Inc. ACI is a non-government religious accreditation agency.
To check the accreditation of a high school, you need to check with the Department of Education in the state where the school is located.
Here are the links for Georgia and South Carolina.
You can check the accreditation of a college with the U.S. Department of Education.

Usually when I interview someone, it's all about them. So it was a little weird for me to go into one knowing I would be the subject.
The subject at hand was transformational breath, a breathing technique facilitated by local John Woods. He'll be giving a free session tonight as part of a wellness speaker series sponsored by Harmony Health and Massage in Breckenridge.
Simply put, transformational breath is "a self-healing breathing technique," Woods said. It helps open up the respiratory system, integrate old emotional patterns and allows the person to feel more connected and in balance.
The bottom line: "We're trying to get more air in the body," Woods said. "Because we believe that over time stress builds up."
As that stress grows, we get tightness in the stomach and in the diaphragm of the chest, Woods said, and we stop breathing properly. He estimates that most people are only getting one-third of the air they used to as a child.
"Oxygen is the greatest energy source that we have in our body, more than food, more than water," he said, and compared the body to a car's exhaust - if someone isn't exhaling properly, the body isn't detoxifying itself correctly.
Woods - a longtime financial advisor who also works with people to find abundance in all aspects of life - told me the process isn't just physical, but mental, emotional and spiritual for his clients. Some people laugh during their sessions, and some people cry. That's the ridding of stress, and other emotional patterns.
"Most people after doing this breathing technique just feel more peace," he said. "I've seen really powerful things happen to people in an hour."
Woods instructed me how to breathe for my session, two or three counts of air in, followed by a quick breath out. The pattern helps open up the diaphragm fully - and is focused on taking in positive energy - and the exhale relaxes it. My initial impression was that the practice would be relaxing - subjects lie on a blanket and pillow, and there's soothing music - but Woods told me there's actually a bit of work involved.
Woods was right. I didn't think it would be difficult to do something I do everyday - breathe - but it wasn't easy at first. I hadn't been breathing at my full capacity, he told me, and needed to work on getting more air into my stomach (women tend to not breathe fully into their stomachs, while the same is true for men and their chests, Woods said). And while I found the continued rhythm of breath a little trying at first, it became easier and more relaxing. My hands and feet actually went a little numb during the session, which Woods said is normal and due to the fact that energy and oxygen is traveling to extremities it didn't always reach before. By the end, my breath intake had improved.
Most people don't know what transformational breath is, and sometimes pass it off as new-agey and weird, but "it can be fairly deep work," Woods said. "It's fairly common to have some resistance to letting go of some past feelings and beliefs."
I'll admit, I was a little apprehensive going into it. But by the end, I felt very tranquil, almost like I'd just had a massage. Woods was right - it's hard work, but there's a rewarding peace at the end.

- Straw Hat
- Artificial flowers, ribbons, buttons, bows, etc.
- Glue and Glue Gun
- Elastic thread or pretty ribbon
For an easy Easter bonnet, many craft stores carry plain white straw
hats, cloth fake flowers, and easy glue guns. You can pick out
what you think it prettiest and get a parent's help to glue the flowers
on. Don't forget to get a pretty ribbon to tie the bonnet under
your chin. This can easily be stapled to the hat and covered up with a small flower.
Color & Decorate Your Eggs
1. Start with clean, cool, hard-boiled eggs.
2. PAAS Coloring Alternatives:
a. For Ultra Vibrant Colored Eggs – add a tablet and 3 tablespoons of vinegar to a 1 cup container.
b. For Traditional Colored Eggs – add a tablet and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to a 1 cup container.
c. For Pastel Colored eggs, add a tablet and 3 tablespoons of water to a 1 cup container.
d. Once the tablet has dissolved, add a ½ cup of water and stir gently.
3. Bend egg dipper. Gently place egg in color bath until desired shade is obtained. The longer the egg stays in the bath, the darker the shade will be.
4. Remove egg, drain well, place in drying tray and let dry.
Note: Some store bought kits have elaborate decorations in them such as beads, stickers, stencils, glitter, wrap around sheaths, and paints. You can get these at most stores during Easter, or go to the craft store and get your own raw supplies. Get creative and let your imagination run wild!
For more egg dying, decorating tips, and supplies, visit PAAS online.
How to Stuff an Easter Gift Basket
Sure, you can go out to the store and buy a ready-made Easter basket, chocked full of candies and toys, but it's really fun to do this yourself. The same concept as stuffing a good stocking at Christmas applies here on Easter. Fill the basket with lots of treats and even try to personalize the basket to the person who is receiving it.
First, get a basket of any size or color. If you want to put a bunch of treats in it, get a big one. If you're on a budget, find a smaller one. Pick color appropriate for the person receiving the basket, i.e., pink for girls, blue for boys, or pick the person's favorite color.
Line the bottom of the basket with fake Easter grass and begin adding your treats to the basket. Put bigger things in the back and small presents up front. Stacking items according to size makes it look pretty and appealing. Fill in empty spots with chocolate foil-wrapped candies, jelly beans, or smaller treats. Wrap a big ribbon around the base or handle of the basket and tie it into a ribbon to give it a finished look.
Here are some items you can consider stuffing an Easter basket with:

The NAIA #2 ranked University of the Cumberlands (UC) Men's Basketball team looked to continue its perfect season this week as they traveled to Georgia to take on Carver College and Life University on Wednesday and Thursday respectively. The Patriots would take a 20 point victory away from Carver on Wednesday and sneak away with a 4 point win over Life on Thursday to stay unbeaten on the year.
On Wednesday, the Patriots traveled to Atlanta, GA to take on Carver College. Carver did attempt to keep the game close, but the solid shooting of the Patriots kept them in front for a large majority of the game as they defeated Carver 92-72. Senior Benito Santiago, Jr. (Coamo, Puerto Rico) led the Patriots with 24 points on the night. Antonio Bumpus (Columbus, OH) and Ernie McCoy (Columbus, OH) both also pitched in 21 points each in the victory.
On Thursday, UC stuck around in Marietta, GA as they took on #18 Life University in a battle between two NAIA Top 25 teams. The Patriots had a 16 point lead at one point in the 1st half but a 7-0 run by the Eagles made it a 38-29 game at halftime. Solid shooting from the free throw line in the 2nd half was a big key to the Patriots' 81-77 victory. Bumpus had another stellar game with 28 points and 5 rebounds as he went 15-18 from the free throw line. Steve Goins (Chicago, IL) was a huge factor in the game as he went 6-7 from the field and 6-6 from the free throw line totaling 18 points and 13 rebounds.
The Patriots now move to 12-0 on the season for the first time since the 03-04 season where they started 15-0. UC will travel to New Albany, IN on December 14th as they take on Indiana University-Southeast. Tipoff is set for 7:00 pm.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The Laney Walker/Bethlehem revitalization efforts are picking up some momentum.
They will actually break ground on more projects in the spring. The effort to remake this part of Augusta has been going so well that it was recently recognized nationally.
"It shows we're doing something right," said City Administrator Fred Russell.
Chester Wheeler and his team won the 2013 HUD Secretary's Opportunity and Empowerment Award. Only two awards were handed out nationwide.
''This was not a plan from the top down. The community was involved in monthly meetings to help us develop a plan," said the director of House and Community Development.
"The project had to be sustained for three years; it looks like we're building enough momentum to keep that project going," Russell said.
Some commissioners thought having an advisory committee would keep the project moving, but they didn't have enough votes to make it happen Tuesday night.
"The advisory committee is a separate thought. If the commission wants an advisory board, I have no problem with it," Wheeler said.
"Because of these award, we have opportunities that an advisory board could build into and plus expand and grow within," Russell said.
Even though they won an award, the project is far from finished. It will take them 50 years to turn the Laney Walker development around.
"This challenge that we have is not unique to the city of Augusta. It's in every major city of America," Wheeler said.
"We're changing the face of the way that neighborhood look, but to something familiar," Russell said.
The work to capture the nostalgia this neighborhood had continues. Commissioners learned that the old advisory board for the House was never dismantled.
The old board plans to hold a news conference on Thursday at 11 a.m.

Five years after the recession began, a new survey finds that Americans have learned financial lessons and are continuing their spendthrift ways.
In a new survey from Fidelity, nearly half of respondents say even now they are saving more, reducing debt and building an emergency fund.
Fifty-six percent of investors said that in the five years since the start of the financial crisis they've gone from being fearful and confused to becoming more prepared and confident as managers of their own money.
Among the respondents, 42 percent said they their contributions to their 401(k). Another 42 percent said they increased their emergency fund and 72 percent said they have less personal debt now than they did before the downturn.

"This is the worst spring weather I can remember as far as it impact on all spring sports," St. James Athletic Director Les Zellmann said.
He continued, "At this point of the spring we've never had this many events canceled."
As of Monday, the first six games of the baseball season, both home and away, have been canceled. Three of the first four softball games have been canceled.
The first three golf meets have been canceled. Hard to play golf when the course is under snow.
Tennis opened the season with an indoor tournament, but the next two meets were canceled. The Saints played at home on Monday in cold conditions and only because the snow blowers were used last week to clear the courts so they had a chance to be snow free.
Track opened with two indoor meets and got an outdoor home invitational in, even though all of the events couldn't be held because the jumping pits were not dry enough.
Zellmann said all of the coaches are grumbling to a certain extent. "It's frustrating for them," Zellmann said.
The teams are at the point where games and meets aren't going to be rescheduled, but will be canceled for the year.
The Saints athletic director as well as all athletic directors are scrambling to rearrange schedules. However, Zellmann said, "At this point track meets can't be made up. Baseball games can't be made up."
Track invitational meets with three or four or more teams have big rescheduling problems. What might be a good date to reschedule for one team finds many of the other teams already booked to compete in another event on that day.
So multi-team invitationals for track or tennis, or softball, or golf are the hardest sporting events to reschedule.
The Athletic Director said a priority would be to look at ways to make up conference games. He said that double headers for softball might be an option. Usually for conference games, the Saints would play a conference foe at home and then travel to their field to play an away game on another day. Trying to get the two conference games in might mean the Saints will host one team to play a double header or travel to play a double header. One team would lose a home game.
The other problem according to Zellmann is that the ability to practice has been extremely restricted. He said kids are playing games without practice.
Tennis might get some home meets in, but that's in part because Zellmann used a snow blower to clear the courts.
Page 2 of 2 - Right now all the sports fields need warm, sunny, windy weather to dry out their playing courts and fields. The weather has not been delivering that.
This week's sports schedule is packed. Any cancellations will really jam up the end of April and May schedules.
