Another abduction attempt reported in Butler Co.
Girl says man tried to entice her into car in Fairfield
School officials sent home a letter with students warning parents about a possible abduction attempt in Fairfield.
A girl told police that a driver tried to entice her into a car as she waited for a school bus on Resor Road.
She described the driver as a white man in his 20s, wearing a hooded sweatshirt and driving a silver or gray car. The school bus driver said the car had two doors, but the girls said it had four.
That's the fourth report of an abduction attempt this month in Butler County.
Three boys told police that some men in a van chased them as they walked along a street in Hamilton, and a girl told them a man driving a white van grabbed her arm and tried to pull her into the vehicle.
A 9-year-old Liberty Township boy also told investigators that a man driving a black car tried to entice him with a comic book.
Authorities aren't sure whether the incidents are related.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Appeal Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Lord Justice PillTable of Contents

The shooting of the Jews in Riga
60. The judge concluded that a total of about 5,000 Jews were shot in Riga on 30 November 1941. General Bruns had then been a colonel stationed in Riga. In captivity in 1945, he was surreptitiously recorded as saying that a junior officer named Altemeyer had told him that the Jews were to be shot in accordance with the Fuhrer's orders but that Altemeyer showed Bruns another order "prohibiting mass shootings on that scale from taking place in future. They are to be carried out more discreetly". In Hitler's War, (American edition), the applicant referred to the order as Hitler's "renewed orders that such mass murders were to stop forthwith". No reference was made to the words "on that scale" or to the words "they are to be carried out more discreetly".
61. The judge concluded (13.24) that the applicant had "perverted the sense of Bruns's account". Mr Davies submits that the reason the applicant treated the evidence in the way he did was that there was contemporary corroborative evidence, for example a signal from Himmler and the fact that the shootings did stop for many months. There was corroboration for the first part of Bruns's statement but there was not a shred of corroboration for the suggestion that "the shootings are to be carried out [that is to continue] more discreetly". We are entirely unpersuaded by that argument. The judge held (13.24) that "an objective historian is obliged to be even handed in his approach to historical evidence: he cannot pick and choose without adequate reason". The alleged absence of corroboration for one part of an account which clearly bears upon and is related to the other part does not justify the selectivity involved in failing to mention the uncorroborated part at all. Had the applicant cited the whole of the passage, he may fairly have been able to add the comment now relied on in expressing his overall view. To fail to refer at all to one part is, as the judge found, a perversion of the sense of Bruns's account.

Emtek is dedicated to bringing interesting, well made hardware back into American homes. Until about 1930 there was a proud history of hardware in America. Hundreds of small factories made an enormous variety of creatively designed products. Craftsmen from many disciplines devoted their energies to making locks that provided both function and beauty. Unfortunately, during the depression many of these factories failed, and then during WWII brass became scarce and lock designs were reduced to the bare essentials. In more recent years the emphasis on cheap, high volume building products has discouraged manufacturers from re-introducing well made hardware. But now these ideas are changing, Americans are re-discovering the satisfaction that comes from owning well designed products. Emtek's mission is to make it possible for home owners to apply these higher expectations to door locks. We are striving to provide a broad, interesting range of products that consumers can use as elements of decor, not just as a way to latch a door.

Melt butter.
I just put the unwrapped butter in a microwave-safe bowl and nuke it for a few seconds.
And be sure to beat your eggs. Just crack eggs into a small bowl and whisk briskly using a whisk or a long-tined fork. To save on dirty dishes, I'll pour the melted butter in with the dry cake mix in my mixing bowl, then use that same butter bowl to beat the eggs in.
This is easier if you have an electric or stand mixer because batter will be very thick.
Stir in bag of chocolate chips.
batter around using my hand since the batter is very thick.
Once it is evenly spread out, put in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes.
It will puff up as it is cooking and be golden brown around the edges when it is done.
And like any good chocolate chip cookie, I like to eat these warm so you can usually find me
Here's a closeup for all you cookie lovers.

Or at least, that's the argument on the Huffington Post, where Liat Kornowski declares of the decision that, "We think that's fishy." Her logic?
After all, [Kardashian] started out by having a sex tape make the rounds early on in her career. The tape shows her and ex-boyfriend Ray J. doing the deed and might have even been leaked by Kim herself, as suggested by another one of her exes, Nick Cannon. She also showcased her famous buttocks to the world via X-ray to prove she doesn't have implants.
I missed the part of Kardashian's history where she signed a waiver that guaranteed the American public access to every detail of every event in her life, in perpetuity. Increasingly, it seems like women who live in the public eye are given a choice: If you reveal nothing except the basic facts of your life, as has been the case with Kate Middleton's engagement and pregnancy, then you're allowed to demand privacy on the minor details. (And when you don't get it, like with those recent Middleton bikini pictures shot with extremely long lenses, there's public outrage.
But each of Kardashian's revelations about her life is a discrete event, and she has the right to keep making decisions about how much of herself she wants to reveal on a case-by-case basis. And in this case, her decision, one would hope, involves the wishes and preferences of someone else -- West, who is the father of her child. Having told all, or even some, once doesn't mean Kardashian is obligated to tell again. I have a feeling we'll still get our exclusive People cover, and the inevitable Kimye bedazzled onesie line, but it's really not up to us when.

Monday, Jan. 14, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Four people are dead and at least three are injured after three separate car accidents following police chases in the past week.
The first happened last Wednesday in North Augusta. Two brothers died after crashing into a tree while fleeing police. Just a few days later, two more died following a police pursuit in Sardis. And on Monday morning, three were sent to the hospital after a crash in Aiken County.
Officers say chases are very common.
"I've been in a lot of chases. I couldn't even put a number on it," said Jason Singletary, a deputy with the Traffic Safety Division of the Richmond County Sheriffs Office.
On Friday night he was involved in a chase down busy streets -- from Washington Road down Berckmans Road and ending on Wheeler Road.
"He was driving at a high rate of speed, we stated going down the hills and started driving on the wrong side of the road," Singletary said.
That's when he decided to call it off saying, "I could see headlights on top of the hill, so I knew there was cars coming, so I terminated it."
It's a question each deputy faces every time someone begins to run: Will chasing them put other people at risk?
"Each deputy has to take into consideration, use common sense, what he's stopping the vehicle for and what's going on," said Lt. Amelio Lamkin, division head of the Traffic Safety Division.
For an officer, you never know who you're stopping, so catching that suspect is a top priority.
"They could be anything from running from suspended license to having a warrant on them to having just committed mass murder or a bank robbery, you just don't ever know," Singletary said.
As a chase crosses a state line, the rules change a little bit. The pursuit can only be continued if it involves a felony.
"If you're going 20 mph over the speed limit while fleeing from a deputy, it is a felony, so we will chase a felony across a state line," Lamkin said.
Deputies are trained to handle these situations, but they say learning when to stop a chase comes with experience.
"To know when enough is enough, when it outweighs it," Singletary said. "It's just way too dangerous and it's just common sense and it comes with experience."
Experience deputies say they wish they never had to have.
"Just pull over," Lamkin said. "It's not worth your life, it's not worth our life, it's not worth the public's life. If you get blue lights put on you, just pull over and deal with the consequences."
Deputies still haven't caught the suspect from the chase on Friday night and say they still don't know why he was running.
As for the safety of the suspect, they say if someone runs, then they take full responsibility for what happens. They said the suspect has a choice: Pull over and risk going to jail or risk losing their life in a chase.

Having seen the "Fleezer" show a few days earlier my mind was still recovering and in a fragile state. This was only my sixth show so there were still a lot of surprises and songs that I've never heard before on tape or live. I believe I heard my first Tela and Sloth but I know it was the first time I ever heard Free, Strange Design and Sleeping Monkey. The DWD is simply awesome. So weird and all over the place. Amazing raw improv. I was SOOO lost during this song that I was certain that Phish were aliens and that I was now dead and I was going to spend the rest of my life within this confusion and lights. The Free saved me. This was the first time that I heard that riff. Instantly fucking loved that song. INSTANTLY. I wish I had a video of my face during those first lines of Free, I probably had tears running down it. Soon after the bliss I was again launched into fright and amazement by the mind-fuck that followed. Poor Heart brought me back to reality but I was again off into the stratosphere during YEM and Strange Design. I remember really liking Strange Design and thinking how fucking weird of a song it was. Trippy shit! I also remember the lights really well during the song. It was a Strange Design indeed and of course it blew my mind a litte further. I've seen Antelope more times than any other song and I never get sick of it. I can only imagine how excited I was to hear Antelope this night. At this point in my Phish career I was still hearing songs I've never heard before and the ones I did know where always such a treat to hear. I was still figuring out the how, why and what and didn't fully "get it" until a few shows later.
I remember after the show talking to an older Phish guy (he was probably in his late 20's...OLD) who was doing the whole tour. He told us about Free and Strange Design. I remember telling him how much we all loved Free and how fucked up the DWD and Free were.
At one point he stopped and looked at us with his knowing and knowledgeable face and said
"You guys totally got your minds blown tonight didn't you?" Yes sir. Yes we did.
After the show the cops drove around to us like 5 times and asked us to leave. We kept yelling at them "just eatin' and leavin'!". It was extremely funny at the time. Eventually they got out of their cars and, started grabbing all our shit and started packing it up for us. Again, it was REALLY funny. Can't see how they allowed me to drive out of there. Being 18 and not able to make any long term plans, we ended sleeping in some farmers field outside of town. I had a towel for a blanket and no pillow but everything was SO right with the world at that point. What a night.

Product Description
In Renaissance Italy, armies of mercenaries fought to conquer the fragmented city-states for the highest bidder. Elite mercenary leaders, known as Condottiere, led these armies to victory under such fabled banners as Medici, Sforza and Colleoni.
Recreate this era as you, an elite Condottiere, strive to carve out your own Renaissance kingdom! Using a unique deck of cards and a map of Italy, you must exploit the assets in your hand and thwart the traps set by your adversaries. Your task is difficult, your mercenaries are unreliable, the Church may intervene, and you are surrounded by others who envy your position! This game is loaded with intrigue and subterfuge. To win, you must be both a clever diplomat and a daring general. Succeed at both, and you will triumph!
Fantasy Flight Games is proud to publish a 3rd edition of this classic bluffing game. The new edition features new art, new card abilities, and new rules to enhance game play.

Average Rating: 4.3 in 26 reviews
Condottiere is my favorite boardgame for good reason. It captures the feel of Machiavellian Italy. It is a strategy game with a bit of chance thrown in. What makes it particularly interesting is that it is a completely different experience depending on the number of players. If you have only played a two player game, you havent really played the game at all. With two players, the game is mostly luck with little strategy. But add in a third or more players and the games subtlety shines. The more players, the more Machiavellian it becomes. Players must manage their cards as well as maintaining the balance with other players. You cant allow any one player to get too far ahead... or behind. You have to know when you can afford to play your cards. Play too many and you will not be able to defend your provinces from attack. Play too few and you may end up not being able to play them at all that hand. Use your scarecrows to return army cards into your hand to make your opponent think you arent really interested, then play the same army card again. One of the neatest features is that the player that controls the province being attacked can chose not to participate in the early part of the battle by waiting to see how things develop. However, they risk having an opponent play a 'Surrender' card and loosing the province to the largest force with no chance to defend it. Or they may allow the other players to run out numerous army cards then play the 'Peace' card and send everyones committed armies to the discard pile. And now for the truly brilliant part. A three player game is different than a four player game, which is different than a five player game, which is different than a six player game. The mechanics stay the same, but the strategy changes. You can manipulate the other players into attacking provinces that have no strategic interest for them because they cant allow another player to take it. You can pit player A against B this round only to force them to work together the next. The weaker players will naturally band together to thwart the stronger until one of them becomes a threat. Truly Machiavellian.
Condottiere is rapidly becoming one of my favorite games. I've played it three times now, all were four player games, the the variety and tension produced by the game are great. The competition is high, but conflict is somewhat indirect, so it should have a wide appeal. The map is lovely and the cards and counters are excellent. Some people have complained about the tall cards, but our group has no problem shuffling them and we line they way they look. I highly recommend this game.

Definition of polarize in English:
(also polarise)
1 [with object] Physics Restrict the vibrations of (a transverse wave, especially light) wholly or partially to one direction: some of the light is polarized so that it vibrates in only one plane (as adjective polarized) polarized laser light (as adjective polarizing) a polarizing microscope
More example sentences
- We used the EOM and quarter-wave plate combination to rotate the polarization direction of the linearly polarized laser light.
- Bile must be centrifuged and examined under polarizing or light microscopy for detection of precipitates.
- Even though the sun itself produces fully depolarized light, partially linearly polarized light is abundant in natural scenes.
2 [with object] Physics Cause (something) to acquire polarity: the electrode is polarized in aqueous solution
More example sentences
- By polarizing the cells, ions are removed from the electrolyte and are held in the electric double layers formed at the carbon aerogel surfaces of the electrodes.
- Whenever a gas gets sufficiently cold, ions attract a crowd by polarizing surrounding atoms - inducing a charge asymmetry in them - which draws them near.
- The S atom in this side chain also helps polarize the C-H bond more than other methyl C-H bonds.
3Divide or cause to divide into two sharply contrasting groups or sets of opinions or beliefs: [no object]: the cultural sphere has polarized into two competing ideological positions
More example sentences
- Analysts brushed aside on Friday fears that political parties would be polarized into Islamic and nationalist groupings in their struggle for power in the 2004 election.
- Political life became sharply polarised between the left, dominated ideologically if not numerically by the Stalinists, and the right, dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood.
- You will find opinions as polarised here as anywhere in the world, if not more so.
polarizable adjective
- Example sentences
- The formation of a bleach continuum suggests the presence of a polarizable proton in the ground state that changes during the photocycle.
- Another active area of biophysical research concerns the study of the interactions involving charged, polar and polarizable groups of atoms in proteins.
- The electrode may be a polarizable electrode composed of activated carbon.
- Example sentences
- For those that don't know, in LCD displays, use is made of linear polarisers, familiar to most as the glass in polarising sunglasses.
- During phosphorescence measurements the polarizers are removed.
- A linear polarizer placed before the beam splitter rejected the p-polarized light, reducing the light noise and increasing the system dynamic range.

The idea was simple: why not build my own little GNU/Linux based wireless network in a spare five minutes?
WiFi Maniac needs aspirin and emotional support
Upstairs at my place there's a play computer with lots of development tools, and... ok, a few games too, along with a WiFi router; downstairs there's the study and an old laptop. Installing Fedora downstairs and Ubuntu upstairs was quick and painless. With a few clicks on the wizards and a sudden surge in adrenalin as I formatted the disk partitions, lots of package names whizzed by at great velocity and puff finished. Yes, an anticlimax of simplicity and stability. Just one small, tiny, insignificant task left, the WiFi connections. No problem, I'm not stupid. I have the power: I know how to Google. So five pages later, I need ndiswrapper for the laptop and the
Zd1211 module for the gam... um, I mean development machine. After an hour of looking at the Ubuntu machine, prodding it to see if it was still breathing, walking up and down, and nodding profoundly to my family as if I knew what I was doing, I realized the obvious: Ubuntu has the Zd1211 driver already installed. With loud rounds of sarcastic applause ringing in my ears, I followed the readme instructions (for non root users).
sudo ifconfig wlan0 sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid Sitecom key xxxxxxxxx sudo dhclient wlan0
The actions worked. And, being GNU/Linux, the actions always work. I was connected. I was the master of my WiFi universe upstairs and it only cost me two hours and a couple of dents to my ego. Luckily or perhaps not, my family hadn't changed their collective opinion of my humanity, being a caveman I bluffed well. However, if I'd started with the black magic recipe or had read the right documents in the correct order in the first place, then the cost in real time for installation would have been less than a minute. But no one else knew that did they? Shh... it'll be our little secret!
If I'd started with the black magic recipe or had read the right documents in the correct order in the first place, then the cost in real time for installation would have been less than a minute
Next the big challenge, Fedora Core 5. Core 5 sounded like a nuclear reactor and the WiFi turned out to require some real science. First, I tried the
Zd1211 trick, but
Zd1211 wasn't installed. No
Wlan0 interface would come up. So back to Google, which, in minutes, had turned up a tantalizing hint:
ndiswrapper is a rather excellent utility that allows Windows drivers to work under GNU/Linux.
The problem was that I needed to compile the wrapper. To compile you need the header files of the installed kernel. I dutifully downloaded both the 586 and 686 header files. Informed the compiler where to find the interfaces and then compiled. The code compiled cleanly and, with a highly motivated yelp of delight, I deployed the youthful binary. The wrapper didn't work. What next? The wrong header files perhaps? Being of strong will—hardened by the day-to-day competition for food at the breakfast table—I sought out an
ndiswrapper package and installed it. Failed dependencies!
Finally, brute force won over intelligence, as it often does with me. I updated the kernel and installed the kernel source code and headers. Compilation worked, but guess what? I had the wrong Windows drivers. One and a half hours later finally all was good, everything works predictably, stably, and will do so until an asteroid hits the earth or my younger son decides to finger paint the internals of the hard drive. Even better, I have that feeling of killing the prey, climbing to the top of the mountain and looking down victoriously. And only for eight hours work. Or ten minutes if I did the same actions in the correct order a second time around.
The moral of this story is clear. WiFi is standard functionality. GNU/Linux is shaping up as a desktop competitor against Microsoft. Tools such as
Zd1211 and
ndiswrapper are essential for that competition. I therefore welcome advances in the WiFi configuration field and I am happy to see that this is already occurring.
The irony
Advocating wrappers of non-Free binaries in a Free Software magazine. A distro relying on ndiswrapper for operating wifi really shouldn't be called a GNU/Linux desktop.
Presenting this as a competition between Microsoft and Linux on the desktop (which must be won by "our team") leads to the fuzzy thinking that advocates non-Free rubbish like ndiswrapper that leads to greater problems further down the road.
Stop moaning. Sometimes I
Stop moaning. Sometimes I want to make a baseball bat and carve the word "reality" onto it. Then use said bat. Because linux has ndiswrapper was the deciding factor for me to switch over entirely. Which I have.
Switched over entirely? You're still beholden to the continued proprietary development of the Windows binary blobs for your cr*ppy WiFi card. Hint: They stop as soon as your card is out of production and MS changes the driver model again.
Get a Ralink based device (aprox. EUR 22.00) and just plug and play, NATIVELY. Why should you buy supported hardware to run a free OS? Simple. You should spend money to be able to use a computer in freedom. If freeloading is your only desire, you are not a part of the community.
Lighten up and cop on
You've been sitting on that bat too long! :)
You seem to believe that your decision to switch to GNU/Linux is one that closes any argument and that you should be met with applause and gratitude.
Unfortunately this is not the case when you and others like you start promoting non-Free software and creating a demand for it. By doing so you remove the demand on manufacturers to open up their source code so that we can completely functioning hardware running the way we want it to run.
Things change
My point being,
that ndiswrapper support of proprietary drivers fills a gap that is slowly but certainly getting filled by freesoftware :)
Shame on you
Sir, you're seriously confused. This is not the "it runs so shut up" camp.
Calling ndiswrapper a solution to get WiFi up and running is a joke at best. Where does that leave AMD64 and PowerPC users? Where does that leave the ability to debug and fix problems in a timely fashion? Just like it happened with video cards where we accepted that the ATI and NVIDIA binary drivers are ok for a whole lot of wrong reasons, it's going to happen again with WiFi drivers. Where are we now with the video drivers for high end cards? We have binary blobs for a limited number of architectures which we can't study, modify, improve or port to other architectures. Would the linksys hacks be possible if we had accepted ndiswrapper as a solution? When was the last time you actually saw a vendor providing driver downloads for Windows on MIPS?
It's a Distro Thing
I did the same thing with Mandriva, two notebooks, Dell LS400/3Com card and 5150/IPW2200BG, desktop Dell 2400/dlink Gsomething and a Playstation/Dlink Bridge. From scratch took less than 3 hours, only Googled one minor Playstation thing. No NDIS wrapper used either.
Sad reality
The sad reality is that *MANUFACTURERS OF ALL THIS HARDWARE* do not (and I mean NOT!) create Linux-able drivers for their hardware. They live in a microsoft only world. Yes the ndiswrapper is an intermediate step that must be taken to in order for Linux users to use much WIFI hardware. Its sad and unfortunate that genuine Linux drivers are not available from the manufacturer (and equally troubling that programming documentation is not available from many of them without developers signing non-disclosure agreememts). Also, the NDA's may come with a fee, or limited use licence (which ruins all hope for a general Linux driver). In the intermediate time between now and when Linux achieves world domination, the ndiswrapper is here. Happy wifi'ing.
Shoulda just used. . .
Ubuntu on both computers.
The open source market will decide
Yes, again I can but agree,
if the Ubuntu distrubution works out the box for WIFI, then this distro will have the advantage over the less supported and if the modules are open source then all the licensing and moral details are non existent as well. However I must admit, I like yum/apt Redhat/Ubuntu biodiversity on my network, makes for interesting magazine articles and shorts :)
Always try to buy hardware that is supported with native drivers
Always ask if it is supported. If the sales dude doesn't know, help them find out if they have a net connection (show them where to search).
If you don't buy because they can't supply something that is suitable, tell them you will have to make the purchase elsewhere.
Of course if you have existing hardware that only works with ndiswrapper, that may be the only option.
Support Ralink!
Use Ralink. Their chipsets are in a number of new cards. For instance, the Hawking HWC54D, which you can buy any number of places (including retail computer places like CompUSA). Not everyone who makes 802.11abg cards includes binary firmware in "free" drivers or ignores GNU/Linux.
Don't be part of the problem. Be part of the solution. Encouraging manufacturers to rely on ndiswrapper usage sucks for people like me, who are forced through BIOS restrictions to use Broadcom wireless cards which crash ndiswrapper + amd64 (total and complete lockup) on a regular basis.
I use the Hawking instead, and hey, guess what? The ralink driver works great. The only problem is you can't use it as a base station, but that's coming.
Practical advice
Good practical advice is always welcome.
Why Buy More Hardware!
Why should someone have to go spend additional money on another wifi card when they have one that is prefectly fine to begin with. Part of the problem with Windows applications and hardware is cost and security. Why is everyone so defensive when a person wants to work with what they have already, instead of having to stock pile additional hardware because it doesn't work after installation. I have a broadcom 4303 internal wifi card that would not work after installation. I found two solutions and chose the one that didn't require the ndiswrapper to be installed, however I lost in the end by choosing not to install the ndiswrapper since this option limits my top speed to 11M. I will not listen someone who tells me I have to spend more money on hardware when there are fixes available and are accepted by Ubuntu.
I fully agree that the makers of these devices should include Linux in there driver configurations. Part of the problem is not that hardware manufacture is not supporting linux, they choose to not support linux on legacy hardware. This is a common practice to minimize costs. Alot of users I work with are using old hardware and therefore more likely to find no driver support. Broadcom has drivers that support Linux for there current hardware, it just so happens they don't support my current Wifi card, but I'm not going to spend and extra $20 for a piece of hardware if I don't have to.

G8 Leaders Agree to Set New Global Greenhouse Gas Goals
June 13, 2007
The world's eight leading industrialized nations—Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States—agreed on June 7th to set a global goal for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases. During the annual summit for the Group of Eight (G8) in Germany, the leaders committed to taking "strong and early action to tackle climate change in order to stabilize greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic (human-caused) interference with the climate system." The leaders will also "consider seriously" the commitment by the European Union, Canada, and Japan to cut global GHG emissions in half by 2050.
The G8 agreement calls on all parties to actively and constructively participate in the United Nations' Climate Change Conference in Indonesia in December to develop a comprehensive agreement that includes all major GHG emitters and would take effect after 2012, when the Kyoto Protocol expires. It also calls for all major emitters to agree on a new global framework for GHG reductions by the end of 2008, which would lead to a global agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change (UNFCCC) by 2009. The plan was welcomed by the executive secretary of the UNFCCC and was endorsed by the Group of Five countries with emerging economies, namely Brazil, China, India, Mexico, and South Africa.
The agreement acknowledges the important role of clean energy technologies in achieving GHG reductions and endorses the use of market mechanisms to encourage the development and deployment of these technologies. It also includes an extensive list of international efforts to promote energy efficiency, including the establishment of a "Sustainable Buildings Network" and efforts to encourage energy efficiency in transportation, power generation, and industry. See the White House fact sheet; pages 13 to 28 of the G8 Summit Declaration, "Growth and Responsibility in the World Economy" (PDF 212 KB); the G8 announcement; the joint announcement by the G8 and the Group of Five (PDF 21 KB) and the June 8th announcement on the UNFCCC Web site.

Take a day to celebrate your family by making a big deal out of even little achievements. Everyone will appreciate the applause, and your little "Olympians" may even be motivated to be extra-helpful to up their medal count! This simple Olympic Medal craft makes it easy to spread that winning feeling:
Using a coffee can or other cylinder as a template, help your kids trace circles on a piece of construction paper, poster board or a paper plate. Punch a hole through the top and thread a ribbon through to complete the basic medal. Then let the kids decorate the medals any way they choose! Have fun filing the medals with color and adding funny themes, such as "Hide & Seek Champ," "Best Bathtime Hair-Do" or "Best Knock-Knock Joke."
Markers, crayons and paint are a creative way to customize each one. Or help fuel their imaginations with a Stamp or Sticker Collection—with cute illustrations and kid-friendly themes, your family's medals may even inspire creative competitions . . . and lots of fun!
Check out Olympics Medal Kids Craft by blog ambassador Allison for some more great ideas. She used paper plates, glitter paint and ribbon. Don't they look fantastic? This little one certainly thinks so!

It's a good time now to look into getting your flu shot, before the season swings into high gear. You may think of the coughing, sneezing, and fever as just an inconvenience or way to get off work for a few days, but health officials say the virus is much more serious.
Health experts say you should get vaccinated as soon as possible. They also say the flu shot lowers the total number of hospitalizations, and prevents 80-percent of influenza deaths among seniors.

RIPON - A parking violation led to the arrests of three men Wednesday after the Ripon Police Department uncovered counterfeit credit cards and drugs, authorities said.
Sgt. Stephen Meece contacted the occupants of a 1998 Lexus after observing a parking violation at a truck stop about 1:15 a.m., police said. One of the occupants was on searchable probation for weapons violations, and another admitted there was marijuana in the car, officers said.
When police searched the vehicle and multiple residences in Modesto and Ripon, they found marijuana, hundreds of stolen credit cards, merchandise, documents and receipts, authorities said.
Dushunte Peterson, 25, of Stockton, Billie Crawford, 29, of Modesto and Jonathan Damon Jr., 31, of East Palo Alto were arrested on suspicion of identity theft and forged access cards, police said.

Ted Thomas lists 6 examples of the alleged extremity of Republicans. Let's examine his claims.
(1) "Don't tax the wealthy, when they are happy, they give us all jobs. Uh. Yeah!" I suppose the "Yeah!" was put in there to emphasize his point, but it rings hollow. Happiness is not the issue. Jobs are not the issue. The fact is that the wealthy are paying near record high taxes and the rest of us are paying near record low taxes, as recently reported in USA Today. Moreover, raising taxes on the wealthy will, according to the CBO, decrease the deficit by only 1-2 percent.
(2) "Repeal Obamacare and put it back into the hands of the competitive insurance companies." The insurance companies are not the reason why Obamacare should be repealed. It should be repealed because it is another one of Obama's programs to "spread around the wealth" by making the haves pay for the have nots.
(3) "Homosexuality is a treatable disease..." This is an extreme minority view. Do not present it as the view of most conservatives.
(4) "Immigration is the largest internal threat to our nation" so build a wall and do not give amnesty. The statement about it being a threat to our nation is fairly debatable, so you have a point there . It merits further debate and analysis.
(5) "Global warming is a fallacy perpetrated by the liberal press". Wrong, again. Very few people adhere to that view so do not present it as the view of most conservatives.
(6) "Women cannot be trusted with their own medical decisions". Come on Tom, use the word "abortion." It is the life of the defenseless child that is at issue, not trusting women.
John Klobasa, Kirkwood, Mo.

Dawn Eichten began work at the St. James Plaindealer last week as a sales associate. Eichten is from Sleepy Eye and grew up in the Springfield area.
She has been working hard for the Plaindealer here in St. James getting to know potential clients, business owners and what is happening in the area.
"Everybody here is really friendly, and I haven't run into anyone who didn't want to speak, even if they weren't going to do business, people are accepting of new ideas," said Eichten. "Doc here is very helpful in getting things rolling."
Eichten will be working part time while she continues her education online at Phoenix University. She is in the third year of a marketing program and has an associates degree in business.
"It was kind of my goal to get into media, I wasn't sure what direction I would go as far as media, but sales and marketing has always been something I enjoyed," said Eichten.
Eichten says she will work hard to make sure her clients understand what they are getting out of working with the Plaindealer and Gatehouse Media.
When she isn't working or attending school, Eichten enjoys gardening and spending time with her three children and granddaughter.

Q: How can Recovering Couples Anonymous help our relationship?
A: We in RCA know the many ways we have hurt ourselves and our coupleship. Often we have not had the foundation or role models to help us know how to live in a healthy relationship. We recognize that neither our love nor our relationship have been ideal.
The RCA principles are tools that have been guides to spiritual progress, rather than perfection. RCA helps us to help ourselves. We have found the support and hope in RCA to build deeper intimacy and to live free from destructive behavior.
Q: What are the tools to help us in our recovery?
A: We have found that working the program means using the available tools one day at a time. The most important tool is attending RCA 12-Step meetings. Here we learn how the program works, how to practice the 12 Steps together as a couple, and how to replace old unhealthy behavior patterns with healthy ways of relating.
We share our experience, strength, and hope with other couples. We learn how other couples have used RCA Tools in their daily lives. The tools include the RCA Blue Book, couple sponsors, the telephone, contracts, literature, service, affirmations, playing together, resolving conflicts, and finding spirituality and balance.
Q: How do we know whether the RCA program will work for us? Can RCA save our relationship?
A: There are no guarantees. We have found that there are no problems that you have experienced that are not common to many of us. We recognize that the purpose of RCA is not to keep couples together at all costs. Working the program as couples may lead some to the conclusion that it is healthiest to separate. The tools, the support, and the recovery experience are all there for you. The rest of it is up to you together, and your Higher Power.
Q: When we leave the meeting, what happens then?
A: The best advice is to keep working the program. Sometimes an idea, thought, or question brought about by the meeting may arise later. It is important to respect our partner's boundaries, and to ask permission to talk about an issue. Each of us must feel safe so that openly sharing with each other will foster the trust and nurturance our relationship needs to grow and endure.

First set is good, no real problems until Esther. Trey's guitar is out of tune. The rest of the set is solid. Good Antelope jam.
Second set goes along well until Hydrogen. Sounds like they got caught up in the Zepplin teases and/or Trey didn't want to play it. I thought weekapaug suffered as well. NICU was really weird. New middle solo section that never worked I guess. Llama is good, Mound is coming along, Stash is good. Mike does a Wall Part 3 tease during Fish's song explanation. Uncle Pen is good, and this is where somebody must have been bugging Trey all night about the bluegrass songs because, he really gives it to them good during Cavern. One of the funniest Caverns I ever heard!
I also believe the Furry Creature from Mars was for the guy calling out the bluegrass. Full-tilt guacamole jam!


text:
The show cuts into an abbreviated La Grange that is a predictable wankfest. If the Trey from today listened to the Trey from 26 years ago, he'd be shocked at how many notes he used to be able to play, many of them tasteless. Despite this, mostly everything in the first set is played well, including a zippy YEM, a Suzy complete with humorous Purple Haze and Popeye teases, and a SOAM that phish.net seems to think is particularly noteworthy. If IDK had a jam chart, this version would probably be on there. Testify!
The second set starts out sluggishly with one of the slowest Harry Hoods ever, although it does have an interesting staccato portion mid-song that may warrant a listen if you're a big Hoodie. Following this is only the fourth Reba ever, but this was their third night in a row playing it...so you'd think it would be good, right? Well, it's not awful, but it's certainly not the Reba we know and love today. It still contains that horrible falsetto "Bag it, tag it" section, which is mostly only interesting in historical context. In general, the song is okay, but they clearly hadn't worked out the kinks yet.
In a Hole is another newer song, but this one didn't stick around as long as Reba. (I wonder why?) This one also doesn't have the I'm an a-hole joke, so you can skip it and listen to a later version.
The Who Do? We Do! coming out of McGrupp is worth a listen. The segue is perfect and should be marked as a -> in the setlist. One thing I liked about late 1989 was their willingness to take Fluffhead apart and insert various portions of Fluff's Travels into other songs. Lots of other setlists from October have these little segments, and they're all worth listening to because they almost all work very well.
My Sweet One is yet another early version of the tune, and it's not quite at breakneck pace yet, but still worth a listen for a nice Leo solo.
Overall, this isn't one of those must-listen early shows that everyone knows about, but it's not a bad choice if you're picking and choosing old shows to listen to. It's pretty average for the era, though. (The best show of this Front run would definitely be 10-20-1989, if you're interested.)

Spinach, Mushroom and Pesto Lasagna
So Mom... I'm feeling a little guilty and remain thankful that you don't have a computer and will never see what I made for Ash Wednesday this year, because I think it might actually be one of the most delicious meals I've ever made! And, I'll eat sardines on Friday.... I promise.
Spinach, Mushroom and Pesto Lasagna
9 lasagna noodles
10 oz chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
1 large egg
1/2 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper
1 TBSP olive oil
1 TBSP butter
2 cups diced onion
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
dash of crushed red pepper flakes
8 ounces of button mushrooms, coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 TBSP all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/2 cups Half & Half
3/4 cup plus 2 TBSP basil pesto
12 oz mozzarella cheese (I used slices)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8" X 11 1/2" baking dish with cooking spray.
In a separate baking dish place lasagna noodles and cover with boiling water. Let sit for 15 minutes while making the sauce.
In a medium size mixing bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta cheese, garlic powder and egg. Season well with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large skillet heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the onions and bell pepper, season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes and saute until onions are translucent, 6-7 minutes. Add the mushrooms and continue to saute until mushrooms lose their moisture, another 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for another minute or two. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Continue cooking and stirring over medium heat for two minutes. Add the milk and half & half, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 4-5 minutes until sauce has thickened a bit. Remove from heat and stir in 3/4 cup pesto. Taste to see if salt and pepper are needed.
Drain lasagna noodles.
Spoon 2 TBSP of the pesto on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Lay three noodles on top of the pesto. Top with 1/3 of the basil cream sauce (about 1 1/2 cups) and spread to cover noodles. Dollop 1/3 of the ricotta mixture on top of the sauce, then top the ricotta with 1/3 of the cheese slices. Repeat layers two more times. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and place dish in oven. Bake for 25 minutes, uncover, then bake for another 25 minutes, until bubbly and browned. Let dish sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.

This is one of the best lasagnas I've seen in a while... there must be tons of flavor with the pesto added in!
Yuck to the canned sardines! :)

That is one amazing lasagna. Wow. I love anything spinach and mushroom. You could have thrown in the bathroom sink and I'd have been happy.
Well, maybe not sardines. Seriously? You were forced to eat that? Copy what Lynda says.

Lovely!!!! I am fixing shrimp curry! I almost feel guilty for fixing bacon for Camille Ana this morning - but I didn't eat any and I said a Hail Mary when I cooked it - so I think we are ok! Besides - aren't children, the ill, and the elderly considered exempt - oh and soldiers...

Mags, you had me at pesto. This looks amazing!! I'm always on the lookout for more vegetarian fare as well as different lasanga recipes instead of just the old red sauce variety. Now if I could just will my basil plant to grow faster so I can make some pesto!!

Wow. Your mom was really strict! And here I thought mine was the worst! We did eat fish every friday, being a Catholic family, but I don't remember any restrictions on meat on the other nights. (or maybe I've forgotten!)
This looks like a fabulous lasagna, Mags!

I'm a sucker for lasagne of any kind -- but this one's really caught my fancy, and I think it's going to happen at my house on Friday. (I was going to have linguine with clam sauce -- till this!)

What a wonderful way to make lasagna! This looks sooo good. I remember growing up not being able to eat meat on Fridays. My mom is not the "best" cook in the world so we had fish. But we always ended up having bones in the fish so for years I couldn't stand fish. Now I could eat it every day!!!! (I do like sardines!!!).

My family didn't observe Lent, so it was never a form of deprivation to feel aggrieved about when we were kids. But Mom made up for it with her world-class budget-consciousness applied to all meals and didn't serve much meat. I totally adore this veggie lasagne, Mags, and I think even Mom would agree!

So intrigued!! I have a bridal shower next weekend, can't wait to try this out.
I've never made lasagna...would it be bad to double and use a bigger pan?

You are a genius. I made this for dinner tonight and LOVED it! Hubby loved it too. I think this is the best meal I have ever made. If I owned a restaurant, this is what I would serve.

Does anyone know if this could be made ahead (just shy of actually baking) and frozen for a meal later in the month?

Would it still work well if I substituted whole milk for 2% or would that ruin the consistency of the sauce?

Katie: 2% milk should work ok without too much of a noticeable loss of creaminess. If you try it let me know!

Saw this on pinterest and tried it today - delicious! I added double the mushrooms (we love them), didn't chop them up, and actually used canned mushrooms. Also skipped the red pepper flakes - it was great! Oh, and used ready bake noodles (no boiling required)...still turned out great! Thanks for the recipe!
- March 17, 2013 at 6:05 PM
I add this today, I subsituted red pepper for yellow and a few. small things but the whole family loved it!

Higher Minimum Wage Leads Many Firms to Shutter, but New Ones Take Their Place
Raising the state minimum wage didn't have much effect on fast-food employment in California, Illinois or New Jersey in the 2000s. But it did lead to change: a spike in restaurants exiting the market after wages rose, while a bunch of new restaurants moved in.
"We show that small net employment changes in the restaurant industry may hide a significant amount of firm level churning that arises in response to a minimum wage hike," wrote Daniel Aaronson, Eric French and Isaac Sorkin in a recent working paper from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. "In particular, increases in the minimum wage induce greater firm exit, a result consistent with many existing models. However, more surprising, we find a simultaneous and roughly offsetting increase in firm entry."
The minimum wage is a hot topic among policymakers these days. President Barack Obama has called for Congress to raise the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 an hour. But many Republicans oppose the proposal, saying it would discourage employers from hiring low-wage workers.
Mr. Aaronson and Mr. French, both economists at the Chicago Fed, and Mr. Sorkin, a graduate student at the University of Michigan, studied employment trends in three states that raised their minimum wages between 2001 and 2006: California, Illinois and New Jersey. They focused on fast-food restaurants, a large employer of low-wage workers.
"Across all three states, we find little evidence of an economically notable net employment response to a minimum wage change," they wrote.
But they did find considerable churn as restaurants opened and closed. In all three states, "exit rates are roughly 4 to 7 percentage points higher than they would be absent such an increase." But in New Jersey and Illinois, though not California, "entry rises by an additional 3 to 4 percent and this corresponds to employment levels that roughly counteract the job loss due to exit."
The analysis "introduces the possibility that inflexible incumbents are replaced by potential entrants who can optimize on input mix," they concluded.

Well, we finally took the plunge this weekend...
We began phase one of painting our first floor hardwood flooring. As I type this, the kitchen and my studio are done and drying!! Yay! I hope to have some photos next week, after everything is dry and I can put the rooms back together :)
The plan is to extend the pale grey color we used on the dining room floor 2 years ago {seen above} to the entire first floor! Everything will be complete in about 2 weeks, when we finish up with the foyer, powder room and family room.
I know, I know, it's a big decision to paint over hardwood floors...and believe me, I have heard the opinions of those opposed to painting over hardwood! But I have been dreaming of doing this for a few years now! I have not liked how my oak floors have really started to turn more orange with each year that passes. More than that though, I just truly love the look of painted floors and am giddy with excitement to be doing this!! Thank you to my beloved husband for all of his hard work and cooperation.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!!

"Mom, Dad, can we get a pet? Please?"
It's a question that many parents hear from their youngsters.
Unfortunately, the decision process can be difficult to navigate if the child in
question suffers from allergies related to dogs, cats, bunnies and birds.
Parents shouldn't feel overwhelmed by this situation, as the following brief
review of current research may help those seeking a solution that makes
everybody happy.
Millions of Americans suffer from fur or feather allergies.
These people have immune systems that overreact to the harmless proteins (called
allergens) in pet dander, which comes from dead skin cells, saliva or urine. Pet
hair is not the primary problem, but does collect dander. When normal shedding
occurs, the allergens can spread and persist in the environment. Recent
estimates put the total U.S. pet population at more than 100 million companion
animals, about four pets for every ten people. With nearly six out of ten people
experiencing at least occasional contact with companion animals, chances are
that someone you know suffers from pet-related allergies.
For the 10% of children who are deemed highly allergic, doctors
almost uniformly advocate avoidance. These are children who have a dramatic
reaction with even intermittent exposure. Your first stop – especially before
searching for adoptable animals – should be a visit with your pediatrician to
inform your decision-making process. Your child may need to undergo some basic
testing, but armed with the results you'll be better able to determine whether a
pet should be added to the family.
For children with only minor symptoms, I think the benefits of
having a companion animal usually outweigh the annoyances for many families. In
fact, several studies have demonstrated that childhood allergies actually become
less severe the longer kids live with a family pet. Other studies have shown
that children who care for dogs during their early years later become more
empathetic and less likely to have behavior problems.
If your child has pet-dander allergies, there are steps you can
take to minimize the presence of allergens in your home. Weekly bathing can
significantly reduce the amount of dander in the home environment. Regular,
thorough house cleaning - especially of soft surfaces like carpets and furniture
- and designating the child's room as a pet-free zone can make a huge difference.
Also helpful is the use an air purifier in your child's bedroom and using
superior-grade HEPA filters in your central air system. I highly encourage you
to have your child wash his hands after petting or playing with your companion
animal, and making him mindful of keeping his hands away from his face during
Once you've committed to these lifestyle changes, it's time for
locating the perfect companion animal. If you're planning on adopting a dog,
look for breeds with soft, constantly growing hair. Canines such as Poodles,
Bichons, Cockapoos and Portugese Water Dogs (like the famous First Dog Bo) may
prove to be less likely to aggravate allergic responses for some individuals,
although some experts claim that this may only be because they tend to be washed
and groomed more often than other breeds.
Contrary to popular belief, there are no true hypo-allergenic
breeds of dogs and cats. In fact, even hairless breeds can provoke symptoms. A
2011 American Journal of Rhinology and Allergy study compared the level of
allergens present in homes of hypo-allergenic dogs versus other breeds. The
researchers examined dust samples from 173 homes with 60 different breeds of
dogs, including 11 breeds considered hypoallergenic. The results showed no real
difference in homes with hypoallergenic dogs and other breeds. Of course, this
is just one study, and further research is still needed. The bottom line is that
you'll need to be vigilant, and commit to the measures outlined above to
minimize allergens in your home for your child's safety.
My recommendation is any family or individual seeking to adopt a
less-allergenic companion animal should ask a shelter, breeder or rescue
organization to agree to a week-long trial run. Have the allergic individual
spend time with the companion animal to gauge their effect on the allergic
family member.
Thank you so much for all you do to make the world a better
place for companion animals,
Dr. Jane Bicks

Thank you for sharing this information. We hear so much about "non-allergenic" dogs, it's good to learn about actual research studies being done. And that most people can enjoy having a canine companion if they are willing to make a few simple changes in their lifestyle. -Janet Roberts, Whispering Pines Labradors, WV

Steve helped me prepare minestrone today, and I'm reasonably happy with it. =) See, I picked up the Good Food Box I ordered two weeks ago, and it had _way_ more stuff than I expected. It's a good deal. Almost too good a deal, considering my limited fridge space and the fact that I'm still not used to eating celery, lettuce, and broccoli in large quantities. And I still had carrots and onions from a previous shopping trip!
So we prepared minestrone, using up some of the potatoes and onions and carrots. =) I have around six portions in my freezer.
I think I'll stick with the Good Food Box. The box comes every two weeks and I'm supposed to figure out how to make it stretch that long. I think I'll split the next box with Steve or whoever else wants to halve it. That way, I get the convenience of fresh fruits and vegetables and the challenge of new stuff.
I still have to turn the rest of the vegetables into cream of * soup. Cream of celery, cream of broccoli, cream of mushroom (again, previously bought), cream of...

About the Book
Celebrate thirty years of the world's most notorious rock band with the deluxe collectors' edition of The Dirt—the outrageous, legendary, no-holds-barred autobiography of Mötley Crüe. Fans have gotten glimpses into the band's crazy world of backstage scandals, celebrity love affairs, rollercoaster drug addictions, and immortal music in Mötley Crüe books like Tommyland and The Heroin Diaries, but now the full spectrum of sin and success by Tommy Lee, Nikki Sixx, Vince Neil, and Mick Mars is an open book in The Dirt. Even fans already familiar with earlier editions of the bestselling exposé will treasure this gorgeous deluxe edition. Joe Levy at Rolling Stone calls The Dirt "without a doubt . . . the most detailed account of the awesome pleasures and perils of rock & roll stardom I have ever read. It is completely compelling and utterly revolting."
The most influential, enduring, and iconic metal band of the 1980's reveals everything a tell-all of epic proportions.
This unbelievable autobiography explores the rebellious lives of four of the most influential icons in American rock history.
Mötley Crüe was the voice of a barely pubescent Generation X, the anointed high priests of backward-masking pentagram rock, pioneers of Hollywood glam, and the creators of MTV's first "power ballad." Their sex lives claimed celebrities from Heather Locklear to Pamela Anderson to Donna D'Errico. Their scuffles involved everyone from Axl Rose to 2LiveCrew. Their hobbies have included collecting automatic weapons, cultivating long arrest records, pushing the envelope of conceivable drug abuse, and dreaming up backstage antics that would make Ozzy Osbourne blanch with modesty.
Provocatively written and brilliantly designed, this book includes over 100 photos, many never before published, for the most exciting and insightful look ever into the Crüe.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's basketball team (2-5) dropped a heartbreaker to Texas-Pan American (2-5) in the final 3.3 seconds Tuesday night at the American Bank Center, falling 58-56. Senior Myeisha Myles' layup and free throw with eight seconds evened the score at 56-56. With time winding down, UTPA's Bianca Torre dished it to Adanna Opara for the winning bucket in the paint to end the game.
Junior Alisa Roberts led the Islanders with a season-high 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting and junior Verne'qua Taylor added 10 points and tied a season-high six assists. Junior Jessica Jammer paced the Islanders on the glass with eight boards. Senior Myeisha Myles added three blocks and Roberts led the team with four steals.
The Broncs were powered by four players in double digits, led by Opara's 15 points and nine rebounds. Bianca Torre added 13 points and Donna Jackson posted a double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds. LaQuita Garner had 10 points including 2-of-6 from behind the arc.
The Islanders shot 40.4 percent from the field (21-52), 25.0 percent from behind the arc (4-16) and 62.5 percent from the charity stripe (10-16). The Islanders scored 28 bench points to the Broncs' four and outrebounded UTPA 44 to 39.
UTPA turned the Islanders' season-high 29 turnovers into 21 points while making 36 of their 58 points in the paint.
The Islanders took their biggest lead of the half at the 9:04 mark on a 12-0 run. Marquesha Anderson-Sparks hit two free throws and Taylor's jumper gave the Islanders their first lead of the half. Roberts added a jumper and Brandi Huff added two free throws to jumpstart the Islanders with 10:43 to play. Huff followed with a jumper off a Jammer pass inside and Taylor's inside dish to Vega-Vega capped the 12-0 run with the Islanders leading 14-3 with 9:02 left.
The Broncs answered with a 7-0 run at the 8:27 mark. Torre's jumper and 3-pointer brought the Broncs within five with 8:05 to play. The Broncs extended their run to seven on a jumper by Cassandra Moody to get within three.
In the second half, the Broncs took their first lead since the 17:27 mark in the first with a layup by Torre.
Taylor's 3-pointer from Jammer gave the Islanders a 53-51 lead and their first lead since the 17:16 mark in the second half. The Broncs responded with a jumper by Franchesca Simon to even the score at 53-53. Erin Lewis's layup and Opara's free throw put the Broncs back up by three with 22 seconds to play. Myles' layup tied the game at 56 before Opara's game winning layup.
The Islanders took a 25-23 lead into halftime on 30.8 percent shooting. Zoe Vega-Vega led the Islanders with six points and Taylor chipped in five. Jammer led the half with six boards. Garner paced the Broncs with eight points on 3-of-9 shooting and Opara added six points.
The Islanders will travel back to Houston to compete in the Rice Tournament this weekend. The Islanders will face Rice on Friday, Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. before facing Oregon State/North Texas on Saturday, Dec. 3 at 5 p.m./7 p.m.

I have some songs to download after reading these lists. Thanks for the ideas - it's good to know that others like to rock out. I started running 8 months ago using "podrunner". The industrial/club music was not my thing, but the workouts have been great. So, I calculated the beats per minute on every song in my music library. I use the podrunner workout but I make my own music mixes that motivate me. Some of my favorites to run to are:

Wow. I'm going to have to parse that list when finals are over. I have a new song "Why Can't I Touch It?" by the Buzzcocks. Ok, it's not new, but it's great to run to.

New running music mixes are now set up on the run2rhythm at www.run2r.com website.
They have just released 10km and 5km mixes for various times to complete the run based on their BPM model and related speeds.
The good thing with this music and website is that all the music is in 15 minute blocks or tracks and is quick and easy to download.
Also terrific to run with.
Wow!! I really enjoy the BPM rating on the songs!! I'm going to have to try and do that with my own lists. I'm a total traditional jazz enthusiast for everyday music enjoyment but when I'm running there's nothing better for me than the '80s. Here are a couple of running lists I've put together over the last few months....
List One:
List Two:
I listen to a lot of TooL, Korn, Rush, Police, Pete Townshend when I run.
I listen to a lot of different music, but my run stuff tends to be pretty hateful.
Dropkick Murphys- Shipping up to Boston
Bush- Adrenaline
Chevelle- Breach Birth
Jimmy Eat World- Pain
Puddle of Mudd- Spaceship
Rob Zombie- Girl on Fire
Skindred- Nobody
Guns N Roses- Locomotive
Audioslave- Cochise
Korn- Ya'll Want a Single
Eminem- 'Till the End
I listen to songs such as these:
Its raining men
Candle in the Wind
Anything Michael Bolton
I want your sex
They work even better when you have a running partner chasing you!
haha- we must share similar taste in music- as i have 5 of the same songs as you do on my ipod running list lol

Recently, for a variety of reasons, I needed to make several hotel reservations for later this year. Family, work and a huge event in our destination city were converging to create the perfect storm of "reserve now or be out-of-luck". The 1-800 reservation number I called led me to a clearly out of the country, out-sourced business. The reservation agent was cheerful, calm and thorough but English was not her first language and we struggled to understand each other for the first go-round of name, address, email, credit card number, confirmation number, etc., etc.
By the time I was repeating the contact info for the third room, we were more comfortable with each other; I was thrilled to find the type of rooms wanted at an "early reservation" discount and she ventured a question- "Your family be with you?" I replied, "Yes" and the flood gates were open. "What a joy! Wonderful, wonderful! One cannot replace happy family time!" she gushed. I was silent for a moment remembering the earlier pre-recorded standard message of "this conversation may be recorded for customer quality" and wondered if she could be penalized for straying from the designated script. But it was true – "happy family time" was a perfect description for the needed reservations. "Yes, it will be.", I replied. And so we ended our conversation with the needed task completed and a reminder of its' purpose.
