A new restaurant and event center is slated to open sometime in March at the Gypsum Creek Golf Course.
Gypsum Town Council members approved a lease agreement for an operation proposed as Creek Side Restaurant.
"There aren't many places to rent party venues in this area," said Scott Berry, one of the three partners proposing the operation. "We see a place for people to book weddings and events, and a restaurant for the town. We are also committed to at least three years at this location. We hope to be here 20 years."
Partner Mike Rindone said they already had a connection to Sysco foods, so it will be "good food at a good price."
Kenny Henson is the third partner. Henson is a former executive chef of the Chophouse in Vail and will manage Creek Side's kitchen.
"This will be the style of food you find in Beaver Creek and Vail but at a cheaper price," Rindone said.
The target grand opening of Creek Side is to coincide with the opening day of the golf course. For now, there is a lot to do, including renovations and installing a point-of-sale system.
Gypsum Town Manager Jeff Shroll said the downstairs locker rooms at the club are unnecessarily large and have had numerous problems ever since the facility opened as the privately owned Cotton Ranch Golf Club. The town bought the club in 2010 after it went into foreclosure.
"We would like to find a better way to use that basement so that events won't have to interrupt the restaurant upstairs," Shroll said. "Right now, we hardly use the basement and the old furnace system isn't working so well anymore."
The council approved spending up to $1,800 for a remodel study and $2,000 for a study to improve the heating system. Up to $7,500 was approved for the POS system, which will be retained by the town and help streamline bookkeeping between the restaurant, pro shop and golf course.
The Creek Side Restaurant will pay for the POS software.
"A POS system will track everything we do," Rindone said. "I don't know how we would do a business like this without one."

LANDOVER, Md. -- It wasn't just a hard-hitting defense that emphatically broke the 49ers' two-game losing streak Monday night.
Their passing game awoke from its slumber, with Colin Kaepernick producing three touchdown passes and a career-best passer rating to complement the 27-6 win over Washington.
"We didn't sugarcoat it this week: We knew it was a game we had to have," said 49ers wideout Anquan Boldin, who had two touchdown catches. "We're right in the hunt with everybody else, and we feel like our best is ahead of us."
The 49ers (7-4) remain tied with the Arizona Cardinals for second place in the NFC West behind the idle Seattle Seahawks (10-1).
Kaepernick set a career high with a 134.5 passer rating, completing 15 of 24 passes for 235 yards with the three touchdowns and no interceptions. He eclipsed the 200-yard mark for only the third time this season, a positive sign after mustering just 218 yards combined in the aforementioned two-game losing streak.
While Kaepernick triumphantly emerged from his recent swath of criticism, Washington counterpart Robert Griffin III certainly did not.
Coordinator Vic Fangio's defense repeatedly rattled and pummeled Griffin. The stat sheet says he got sacked just four times -- twice each by Aldon Smith and Ahmad Brooks -- but 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh figured Justin Smith also will end up with two sacks upon further review.
"Any time you get a chance to hit a quarterback, you want to take that shot," linebacker NaVorro Bowman said.
Griffin's punishment aside, the 49ers defense set the second half's tone when it stopped Washington on fourth-and-2. There, at the 49ers' 41-yard line, Roy Helu Jr. got stopped a yard shy of the chains by Patrick Willis, Donte Whitner and Bowman.
The 49ers clung to a 10-6 lead at that point, and Vernon Davis had just fumbled their opening series after halftime. Davis and the offense surged to life once they got the ball again -- and Davis eventually made amends for his turnover by catching a 1-yard touchdown pass for a 24-6 lead.
"That was the toughest defense we've gone against this year," said Washington coach Mike Shanahan, whose team fell to 3-8 with a third straight loss.
Boldin's second touchdown catch put the 49ers comfortably ahead 17-6, and while it came on a broken play, it followed his 32-yard reception on a fantastic, back-shoulder pass by Kaepernick on third-and-7.
"There was execution and precision there," Harbaugh said.
Harbaugh said he told Kaepernick last week how impressed he was with his leadership and a demeanor that was both "loose and focused."
Griffin got bashed in Washington all week for his questionable leadership and accountability. On Monday night, it was his on-field performance that drew boos, though Bowman gave him credit for trying to play through a still-sore knee.
Griffin's first-half passing line: 1 of 6 for minus-1 yard with an interception on a 15-yard pass right into Whitner's hands. Washington produced only one first down in the second half, unable to rally behind Griffin and Alfred Morris.
"It was a combination of both their defense and we didn't play well," Griffin said, who got hit seven times, according to the stat sheet. "It is frustrating, but we had opportunities."
That's what the 49ers finally accomplished with their offense, one that sputtered in losses to the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints the previous two games.
The 49ers showed promising signs of a breakout game when they took a 10-0 lead behind Boldin's 19-yard touchdown catch and Phil Dawson's 29-yard field goal.
But that lead got cut to 10-6 lead by halftime, so "we had to come out and put points on the board," Kaepernick said.
By accomplishing that, Kaepernick said, the 49ers took a step in the right direction.
"It was one we had to have," Harbaugh said. "We came a long way to get it. Our guys spent a lot of energy and toughness to get it. It's going to be like this every week."

LEADVILLE, Colorado - Lake County social services took a 7-month-old boy away from his parents, placing him with his aunt, who was sentenced to 18 years in prison for abusing the child so seriously that he went blind.
Shawna Nacke, of Leadville, is the child's aunt. The jury that convicted her agreed with prosecutors that she shook the baby, leaving it blind. She tried to blame the injuries on the child's biological father, who had been alone with the child the previous evening.
The conviction and sentencing was one of the final cases of Mark Hurlbert's tenure as district attorney.
"It is a significant amount of time for what she did. Ultimately the child may recover, but it'll be a long process," Hurlbert said.
The boy was shaken enough that he suffered "significant" brain swelling and had to have surgery to relieve the pressure, Hurlbert said.
The jury was out less than two hours before coming back with guilty verdicts on all three felony counts. Nacke could have received up to 32 years in prison.
Deputy District Attorneys Colleen Clark and Mark Franklin prosecuted the case.
This was only the second Fifth Judicial District grand jury convened since the 1960s, Hurlbert said.
Lake County District Court Judge Karen Romeo convened the 12-person grand jury from around the Fifth Judicial District's four counties: Eagle, Summit, Lake and Clear Creek.
They heard five days of testimony before indicting Nacke on three felony counts.
A grand jury is a group of citizens who hears evidence. They can subpoena witnesses and documents and determine if there is enough to indict the defendant.
Nacke's was one of two cases Hurlbert and his prosecutors took to a grand jury. The other was a Silverthorne homicide case, which they also won.

PS3 Media Server have been working fine for me, but lately I changed my network setup on my playstation 3. Now I am used a cabled conection on my laptop (which have a wireless conection to the internet). In order that I could let the ps3 have a internet conection, I had to do a bridge conection with my local area network and the wireless one (I am on Vista). This setup worked normaly on my first night, I could even watch some movies with PS3MS and download some demo games at the psn store at the same time. But now it seems that the PS3MS can't never find the ps3 if this conection bridge is setup, but in the minute that I go to my network setups on my laptop and remove the conection bridge and run ps3ms again, there it is.
Does anyone have a possible explanation for this? What bugs me is that I didn't change a thing from the first night to the other days.

SANTA CLARA -- There is a bit of magic to what Jim Harbaugh has been doing with the 49ers, more than is revealed by their impressive records, more than meets the eye.
Harbaugh's greatest gift is one every authority figure could only wish to have. The 49ers coach is able to gain and maintain the loyalty and trust of his subordinates even when his actions indicate he has abandoned them.
He is somehow able to masterfully massage the feelings of those he has ousted, like former starting quarterback Alex Smith.
He manages to keep the trust of those he has tried to replace, like kicker David Akers.
Have you listened to Harbaugh's solemn expressions of faith and support toward those who clearly have disappointed him and the team, like rookie wide receiver A.J. Jenkins?
No matter what this coach does to or with his roster -- and his moves demonstrate utter relentlessness in pursuit of excellence -- his players feel he has their best interests at heart.
"We trust Coach to know what he's doing," linebacker Patrick Willis says.
"His biggest thing is, he wants us to get better as individuals and as a team," defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois says. "He wants us to be better than we were yesterday, and he wants us better yesterday than we were the day before that."
Because the players perceive Harbaugh to be loyal to them as men first and football players second, they continue to follow his lead and hang on his every word.
Because the coach always articulates his vision as team-first, any player worth his paycheck in professionalism can't help but embrace the message.
"Being a great teammate, doing the best to your god-given ability each and every time is a great gift that you can give to another man -- to have his back," Harbaugh says. "That's a strong phrase. But I don't think that's just something our guys talk about. I think it's who they are."
There he goes, applauding the team. Such smooth ruthlessness would make an established con man blush with envy.
This, folks, is not Bill Walsh, the legendary 49ers coach who would fire darts at players in public, often with searing sarcasm. Former offensive tackle Bubba Paris surely seethed over barbs related to his weight and conditioning.
Nor is Harbaugh's style like that of the franchise's other Super Bowl coach, George Seifert, whose baby blues would stare holes through a player who crossed him.
"Coach doesn't have to do that," Jean Francois says. "He has players in here who will do it for him. He's not going to yell and shout. He doesn't have to because he has strong enough leaders around here. He has somebody like old Randy Moss, who gives a lot of wisdom. He talks to us. He can tell us things. He's been there. When you have somebody like that, or somebody like Justin (Smith) and a few other guys in here, you should not get angry about what the coach says or does."
The veterans, Harbaugh's lieutenants, are able to bridge any cracks or fissures because they can point to three things. The first: Harbaugh's decision-making since coming to San Francisco has been near flawless. The second: The team's record since his arrival is 27-8-1 -- best in the NFL. The third: The 49ers were 14-18 in the two seasons before his arrival and 39-73 in the seven seasons before Harbaugh showed up.
Then, too, Harbaugh as an NFL coach is a different cat. A starting quarterback in the league during the 1990s, he has a firm grasp of the modern player's psyche and an even firmer grip on what a team needs to succeed. He is somehow able to wrap new-age sensibilities around an old-school mentality. It's quite a skill.
Tell reserve linebacker Tavares Gooden of Harbaugh's interpersonal gifts, and the special teams ace responds thusly:
"We are football players. That's what we do. I'm a football player. I'm not a coach, not the front-office guy. We play the game, regardless of what's going on. There's always going to be obstacles, at every level. If you can't learn to adjust and block those obstacles out, you're going to have a hard time in the National Football League.
"If you get distracted by that, if you get caught up in that, you're not in the playoffs. You're not competing for the AFC or NFC championship. You're not winning games."
Pardon Gooden if his view is slightly warped. He has played for only two NFL head coaches: Jim Harbaugh in San Francisco and, before that, John Harbaugh in Baltimore.
So maybe Harbaugh's magic is not magic at all. Maybe it's a genetic gift.
We only know his formula is working exceptionally well.
Jim Harbaugh's Five Commandments, as best we can tell, are these: (1) Fiercely protect the team; (2) Never recognize failure; (3) Praise all under your command; (4) Men first, players second; and (5) Do whatever must be done to achieve the best possible result.
So if you're waiting for Harbaugh to criticize Jenkins -- and surely he can -- you can move along. If you're waiting for a sign of displeasure toward Akers -- and there is good reason -- keep moving.
If you're waiting for Harbaugh to acknowledge Aldon Smith's declining production or the one-month disappearance of Vernon Davis or the three-month disappearance of LaMichael James, you're waiting in vain.
Harbaugh won't do any of that because it's not who he is as a coach.
But it's precisely why he is where he is as a coach.
And it's why the 49ers are where they are this week, one of two teams still standing, playing for jewelry and the right to display the biggest trophy in the NFL.

From crime to AIDS to the debt, America is facing a lot of problems. But there's a simple solution, according to this letter: cast this woman in a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio. Not only will "less [sic] children... be harmed by confused followers of Leonardo DiCaprio," but Los Angeles might get the Olympics again.
"This was sent to the head of [a major studio] here in LA," a tipster told us, passing along the multiply-fowarded email and attached PDF. "It's a masterpiece and I think we need to start a... movement and get her in a film so that the children stop dying, etc." We agree. Below, some highlights, and the whole letter (plus attachments!).

Man tries to lure girl into truck in Manatee
Published: Wednesday, August 7, 2013 at 6:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, August 7, 2013 at 6:03 a.m.
Authorities are looking for a man who tried to lure a child into the pickup truck he drove through a Manatee County neighborhood Tuesday night, unsure of what was his motive.
The child was not injured during the incident, which occurred in the 700 block of 64th Avenue East, according to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.
The incident started around 8:30 p.m., with the girl -- her age was not given in initial reports -- playing near her home, deputies reported. As she played, the man drove up in what was described as a late-model Dodge truck with deep-tinted windows.
The man rolled down his window slightly, and began to talk with the girl, according to reports. He then tried to convince her to get into the truck.
The driver, who never got out of the truck, eventually gave up and drove off.
No description of the driver was available, given the deep tint on the windows, deputies noted. But the truck also was described as sporting 20- to 24-inch rims, large tires and chrome sidesteps under the cab.

Average productI got it delivered in just 3 days including a Sunday. Nice delivery service from flipkart. But the product is little small in length for my Dell Inspiron N5010. I wish if it would have been 1 inch longer. Width is fine. But i can't cover my lappy fully with ease, have to stretch it a little. I think for other laptop makes it will work fine but not with mine.

Very Good ProductThis is a good product. It is well made. The padding is just thick enough without being too thick such that the laptop won't fit in your bag. Other colours would be nice, but the black is good and the little red "Protecta" tag adds a small pop of colour. BUT I think it would be better if the top flap slightly overlapped the bottom like the Case Logic and Capdase sleeves available on the market. When my laptop is in this sleeve, there is a gap and an overlap would have eliminated that. Also, one reviewer said that it fits his Dell Inspiron 15R (15.6" screen size) perfectly. I have to disagree.… (Expand)

Value for MoneyI liked the Protecta for my Dell 14Z. The 15inch laptop fits perfectly well in the skin. Compared with Samsonite sleeve which costed around 1500 it is certainly a value for money.

First of all, thanks for creating such a wonderful program, it works like a charm and I am super duper satisfied. Even better than my apple TV!
I have a problem on displaying subtitle and hope you can help me. I use MPlayer for OSX and select subtitle codepage CP950 for Chinese, it display properly on my Mac. But when I use PMS and select the same codepage for non-unicode subtitle, it doesn't get displayed from the PS3 (I mean the TV). It all became square boxes.
Any idea how to fix this? I wanted to upload the srt file here but it wasn't allowed.
Thanks for your help.


text: I'll give it a try again. The knife I tried it with was a Tojiro DP and I also had a real "icky" feeling about it. I will try with another knife slowly and see how it feels. I have been to a sharpening demo in town where the guy used a plate (don't know if atoma or dmt) to cut the bevel. He did it with really fast motions since I guess its all muscle memory to him. That might play a role in how it feels because when I tried it, I went super slow.

Tune In – Team Braverman on NBC's"Parenthood"
Tune in to NBC's "Parenthood" next Tuesday, May 18 at 10 p.m./9 Central. The all-new episode, Team Braverman, features members of the family participating in a Walk Now for Autism Speaks event.
Peter Bell, Autism Speaks' Executive Vice President, was on set in Los Angeles and penned a blog post about his experience. Earlier this season, we spoke with Jason Katims, the show's writer and executive producer. He tells how having a 13-year-old son with Asperger Syndrome inspired one of the show's main storylines.
Check your local listings for show information.
UPDATE: Watch the entire episode here on Hulu. Also, the episode is being re-broadcast on Saturday, May 22 at 8 p.m. EDT. Check your local listings for show information.
Watch "The More You Know" PSA starring the cast of "Parenthood," which aired after the episode.

As a parent of children with ASD I am happy to see a show like Parenthood providing a glimpse of what we Parents in the Spectrum go through. The show is a great vehicle to raising awareness and could do even more by presenting dedicating a bit more to subject. It needs to portrait a bit more of what autism is besides the very high functioning Asperger's Syndrome. But, kudos to NBC, the producers of the show, the actors, and all involved for bringing ADS to the front burner.
May 13, 2010 at 12:55 pm
I agree, it is great to have a program as popular as Parenthood to show those who do not have Autism in their lives a glimpse of what its like. But I also wish that if they are going to do this, they would not give quick moments of time that in real life can take months or even years to accomplish, i understan the need to condence for the show but to much is skipped over…it's misleading…like when they showed him playing ball with the little girl……that happened with one compromise with the therapist for a lizzard or something and he happily went on his way and played for "hours"….this might lead people to believe children with Autism will be compliant with a single request and reward. As the grandparent of a 4 year old on the spectrum, I along with his mother,therapists and other family members have spent countless hours trying to get him to do very simple tasks. Someone new to the diagnosis may watch this program and not realise the time, money and energy spent getting Autistic kids to do something as simple as play with another child. Or that it simply may never happen. I guess in all this rambling my point is an Autistic child is not easily consoled nor will they just say ok…. and do what is asked of them…it takes a lot of work to get there….I think the show needs to be more focused on the difficulty and not a happy ending before we know what it really took to get there.
May 14, 2010 at 8:47 am
I think this show is great to show that autism is a spectrum disorder and some of us are at the high end of the spectrum. It appears to me that most shows show the lower functioning kids and so when I go public with my moderate functioning child, people don't understand. Shows like this help.
May 15, 2010 at 4:23 pm
I agree with Dianne…my son has PDD-nos and is often misunderstood. Although he doesn't have Asperger's, shows like Parenthood help us to educate our son's peers, school team, friends and family. I think Parenthood does a great job of balancing the positives with the challenges that many of our families face…thank you to NBC and the entire cast and crew!
As a proud "Walk Now For Autism Speaks" Cincinnati committee member, I'd like to say "GO TEAM BRAVERMAN"!!!! Our walk is on May 22, 2010 and I couldn't have asked for better PR with this episode airing on our NBC media partner's Tuesday night schedule–thank you Channel 5 (WLWT)!
May 18, 2010 at 3:13 pm
Good luck w/your walk Amy! I am a proud walk committee member for the Lehigh Valley and the #4 top fundraiser for this year's walk! So far this year we raised $440,000 and hope to top last year's $516,000. Our walk was 4/17 and it was awesome. Godd luck on your weather and I hope all goes well!! Lorie Gallagher

Kudos to the show "Parenthood", it's waaaay past the time we show/educate/make aware the general public of a fast grown disability "Autism" which effects about one out of 140 baby boys being borne in the US and around the world.
My question is why haven't we done this sooner or why can't be produce a TV series on Autism? We've had a show on "Down Syndrome" which was "Life Goes On" great show but we need to expand more on the subject of Autism Spectrum Disorder so the world will learn to except children/adults with special needs who sound,look, and talk different and most of all learn different then "typical" humans.
I hope a network will take this great opportunity to come up with a wonderful show that is both educational and true to the disorder and project it in a kind light/loving but also, the hardship that comes with it to the family in the day to day task.
May 17, 2010 at 3:12 pm
I love this show! I think it's a great begining in t.v networking to start bringing awareness to somthing that is long over-do! I hope this will be the gateway to many more shows bringing light to Autism, and more awareness. Kudos NBC, I will keep watching!!!!!
May 18, 2010 at 2:54 pm
My husband and I love this show! We have a 5 year old who has PDD as well as epilepsy and we can completely relate to the show. Awareness is the key and I am proud to say my family has walked with Autism Speaks/Central Valley for the past two years as Team Joseph's Journey and we will continue for the sake of our son as well as others.
May 18, 2010 at 3:58 pm
I love this show. I think it did a wonderful job showing the audience that these kids are different. Many people just think my son is bad, because he doesn't always do as he's told. Or because, he acts out when he doesn't get his way. People need shows like this to help them understand children with Asperger's. My favorite part of the show, of any episode was when the older sister of the Aspereger's child told her dad, how their whole family, her whole life is all geared around her little brother's moods. That really hit home for my family. It was as it someone, had walked right into our lives and our home.
May 18, 2010 at 4:04 pm
I love this show! I was pleasantly suprised when their son was diagnosed with Aspergers. I have a 15 year old daughter that is deaf and diagnosed with PDD.
It makes you feel as if you are not alone.

Seana :I love this show! I was pleasantly suprised when their son was diagnosed with Aspergers. I have a 15 year old daughter that is deaf and diagnosed with PDD-NOS.It makes you feel as if you are not alone.

Parenthood is a good show that shows as "realisticly" as Hollywood can illustrate little blurbs of everyones' lives out there…I watch it for ASD (my own son) and feel a tiny connection (which means a lot!) to me because it definately feels like I'm all by myself trying to raise him. Thanks NBC.

I really enjoy the program also. It does try to help one understand what it's like to have a child with autism. Sometimes I wish the story would involve how other people (especially the other classmates) accept the child with autism. It's very hard to sometimes deal with the moods, and what about the child that cannot communicate well because they don't talk much. They always say that mostly boys have autism but what about the girls that have it also? It's a very hard thing to deal with and sometimes other people can make it even harder. I feel for all the families that have to deal with this everyday!

In 2013, the United States Mint will honor the centennial of Girl Scouts of the USA with the minting of a commemorative coin. The designs of the coins are emblematic of the centennial of the establishment of Girl Scouts of the USA.
The legislation authorizing the 2013 Girl Scouts of the USA Centennial Commemorative Coin Program (Public Law 111-86) (Act), signed into law on October 29, 2009, requires the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue up to 350,000 silver dollar coins in commemoration of the centennial anniversary of Girl Scouts of the USA. As authorized, the United States Mint will produce silver dollar coins in proof and uncirculated qualities. The Act was passed in honor of Girl Scouts and the achievements of the millions of women across the Nation whose lives have been influenced by Girl Scouting.
Surcharges from this commemorative coin program are authorized to be paid to Girl Scouts of the USA, which will make funds available for Girl Scout program development and delivery.
The Girl Scouts Organization
The Girl Scouts organization was established on March 12, 1912, by Juliette Gordon Low in Savannah, Georgia. It was chartered by the U.S. Congress in 1950. Today, there are more than 3.2 million members throughout the U.S. and its territories. Members of Girl Scouts of the USA are part of an international family of 10 million girls and adults. Today, it is the world's pre-eminent leadership organization dedicated solely to girls, building character and skills for success.
Coin Designs
The obverse (heads side) design was inspired by both the historical and contemporary aspects of Girl Scouting and by its mission statement: "Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place." It depicts three girls who represent the different ages and diversity of Girl Scouts of the USA. Inscriptions include COURAGE, CONFIDENCE and CHARACTER, key elements of the Girl Scouts mission statement. The 100th anniversary Trefoil symbol signifies the centennial anniversary. Additional inscriptions are 2013, LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST.
The reverse (tails) design depicts the iconic Profiles of Girl Scouts of the USA with the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM, $1 and GIRL SCOUTS.
Both designs were approved by the Department of the Treasury on July 20, 2012, at the recommendation of the United States Mint, after consultation with Girl Scouts of the USA and the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, as well as review by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee.

SAN FRANCISCO -- One line in the box score told the story of the Giants' extended slump, and it didn't belong to a player in orange and black.
Hitting third for the A's, Yoenis Cespedes went 0 for 5, struck out four times and hit into a double play. But his A's topped the Giants rather easily, winning 6-1 at AT&T Park thanks to contributions from a slew of others. In a hushed Giants clubhouse, players sat in small groups, talking quietly. It wasn't hard to imagine some of them going back over the loss and thinking, "That used to be us."
Gone are the days when the Giants fielded a balanced attack, and there are no signs that it's returning. The Giants managed just three hits against Scott Kazmir on Thursday and got outscored 19-7 while dropping three of four to the A's this week.
"One through nine, they've got guys going," first baseman Brandon Belt said of the A's. "If someone goes down, someone else is there to pick him up. That's what we've done in the past, and I think that's what we can still do. We're just trying to find a way."
The search has been painful, leading to one dead end after another. The Giants hoped Belt would provide some fuel after returning from a broken thumb, but he's just 2 for 25 since sliding back into the lineup. Belt said his thumb is fine and that fatigue isn't an issue. Timing at the plate is.
"People are in midseason form, and the reality is that I'm not," said Belt, who missed eight weeks. "But what gives me confidence is just knowing I've been through struggles before and I know I'll come out of it. I know where I stand as a hitter. It's just a matter of getting that timing back."
Belt has at least shown flashes of his past form, hitting a game-winning homer Saturday. Others have been lost for weeks, and issues exist up and down the lineup.
With Angel Pagan (lower back inflammation) out until late July, the Giants have lost the 1-2 punch they had atop the lineup. Gregor Blanco (1 for his last 22) wasn't a solution at the top, and while Hunter Pence has been productive in the leadoff role, the move leaves the Giants without an experienced No. 2 hitter. Thursday, Brandon Crawford was the latest to try the role and went 0 for 4.
The biggest problems might be in the heart of the order. Michael Morse is hitting .268 with only seven extra-base hits since this swoon started June 9. Pablo Sandoval has a .307 average over that span, but only six of the hits have gone for extra bases, and he has just eight hits in his last 36 at-bats with runners in scoring position.
The Giants feared they might have a weak bench, but they didn't expect it to get this bad. Backup catcher Hector Sanchez is hitting .207, once-trusted infielder Joaquin Arias is at .182 and Brandon Hicks, a surprise contributor early on, doesn't have a hit since June 11.
"It just looks like we're caught in between as an offensive group," manager Bruce Bochy. "We're a little late on the fastball and out front on off-speed pitches. Last night (a 5-2 win) was a good game for us and you like to think, 'OK, we'll build off that.' But their guy threw well."
Buster Posey put the Giants' 8-21 skid in stark terms: "We're just getting outplayed," he said.
The Giants haven't been outpitched much lately, but Tim Hudson was charged with six runs in 51/3 innings against his former team.
In a sign of the times for this team, Hudson might have provided the two offensive highlights of the day. In the third inning, he drew a 10-pitch walk. With two runners in scoring position and two outs in the fifth, Bochy let Hudson hit for himself. The pitcher cracked a deep fly ball to center, but the speedy Craig Gentry caught it on the warning track.
Bochy stuck with Hudson over a pinch-hitter because he felt the right-hander could go deep into the game and give the lineup a chance to erase what was a two-run deficit at the time. But Hudson gave up four straight extra-base hits in the sixth and didn't make it out of the inning.
"I felt all right today, but obviously the sixth inning got away from me a bit," he said. "There were a couple of bad pitches that they took advantage of."
That was the theme of the series. The A's got contributions from All-Stars, backups and even their third catcher. The Giants had nowhere to turn when looking for consistent production. They now have dropped 15 of their last 19 games at AT&T Park.
"This has been a little long," Bochy said of the slump. "There's no getting around that."

Gene therapy enters the eye
09.04.2013 - A new French start-up secured a seed financing of €32m. Based on an optogenetics/gene therapy approach, it aims to cure eye diseases.
The field of gene therapies is experiencing a serious tailwind these days. On 8 April, GenSight Biologics announced the closure of a €32m Series A financing. The Parisian biopharmaceutical company works on the development of ophthalmic therapeutics – using gene therapy. The financing was co-led by Novartis Venture Fund, Abingworth LLP, Versant Ventures and Index Ventures. GenSight will use the funds to develop a gene replacement therapy for Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) and an optogenetic therapy for retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
The lead product is expected to enter the clinic in 2013 in LHON patients. The co-founder and CEO of GenSight, Bernard Gilly, explains why ophthalmology is one of the most best indications for gene therapies: "It is promising because of the safety and efficacy demonstrated in certain trials in this field." Other advantages for GenSight are its "unique, proprietary approach to targeting the mitochondria in LHON developed at the Vision Institute in Paris", and – Gilly adds – "the exclusive access to key intellectual property from Novartis for using optogenetics to treat RP patients."
The new therapy would enter an anbandoned field as the MAA of Santhera's synthetic coenzyme Q10 derivative Raxone had to be withdrawn due to EMA concerns only in early 2013.

6 Foods That Ease Chronic Pain
Have a sore back, stiff neck, or deal with chronic pain issues? Make sure your diet includes these foods
While non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and prescription pain meds have their place in a chronic pain treatment plan, they're not the only solution. In fact, you'll give those pain pills a better shot at working most effectively if you take a look at your diet.
"You can actually find a lot of relief by adding specific foods to your diet that are proven to ease pain," says Ashley Koff, RD, Los Angeles-based celebrity dietitian and author of "Mom Energy." But just as important as what you add to your diet is what you might need to stop eating, says Alison Massey, MS, RD, LDN, a dietitian at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, MD. "Diets high in refined starches, sugars, saturated fats, and trans fats turn on the inflammatory response in the body, which makes pain worse," she says.
Skip ahead to find out which 6 foods will ease chronic pain.
So while comfort foods packed with these ingredients may be just what you're craving when your pain gets intense, try to remember that those bad-for-you foods are only going to make you feel worse. Your new go-to eating plan: Load up on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and these nine foods proven to ease chronic pain.

yumm i love pineapple and cherries!

Coconut water is very overrated. It is loaded with sugar (in packaged form), and is no cure-all for dehydration. This is because your hydration levels are a balance of water, salt, and sugar levels that all need to be equal levels. Long science short, stick to regular water and eat some fruit.

Thanks. My mother has arthritis pain and actually loves a lot of these foods. I'll be happy to share this article.

Definitely going to try coconut water now!

I have Fibromyalgia and I can tell you that the only thing that does work is Zico Coconut Water (the dark chocolate one is AMAZING and makes you feel better quickly if you're suffering from heat exhaustion, among other things.). If you have migraines, grab one within an hour or so of the pain hitting you. Ginger only ever helps me with nausea, there are times I live on ginger ale, gingersnaps, and ginger tea. I've been eating cherries even when they're not in season locally for years and they don't work. It would be great to find a cherry supplement to see if maybe that helps. I eat a ton of fruit, none of it seems to make a difference.

Take interest in future of public lands
Published: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 6:44 p.m.
Residents who care about the Pisgah and Nantahala national forests should tell the U.S. Forest Service how they would like to see the lands managed in the coming years.
Judging from the turnout Monday at a meeting the agency held in Brevard, people are as interested as ever in the public lands that form the backbone of our recreation and tourism economy. More than 130 sportsmen, environmentalists, scouts and other forest users turned out to give their thoughts on the future of the more than million acres of mountain forests.
Its been almost 20 years since the management plan for the forests was last revised, in 1994. Those revisions came after many folks across the mountains protested a 1987 forest plan that called for significant increases in logging and road building across the forests. Largely as a result of that outcry, the Forest Service scaled back logging and road building and curtailed its use of clear-cutting, the practice of cutting all trees over many acres.
The 1976 National Forest Management Act requires officials to update plans for forests every 15 years. The plans set desired future conditions and standards for achieving objectives in different parts of the forests. Wildlife habitat, timber, backcountry recreation, wilderness solitude and, increasingly important, clean water are among the sometimes competing goals.
Pisgah and Nantahala have long been prized for outdoor recreation, and this has grown increasingly important in recent decades. Mountain bikers, paddlers, botanists, photographers and other outdoor enthusiasts join the hikers, hunters, anglers, equestrians and campers who have long enjoyed the forests.
The decades since the last full forest plan revision have seen a great increase in state-owned public lands in the region, including DuPont State Forest and Gorges and Chimney Rock state parks. Yet the national forests remain the biggest chunk of nature available for public use across the mountains, comprising more than double the acreage of the next largest parcel, Great Smoky Mountains National Park (521,086 acres, including 276,343 in North Carolina).
As North Carolina and the Southeast grow increasing more urban and suburban, the need for places to get outdoors and away from the madding crowd will only continue to grow. Cheryl Calvert of Mills River, a member of the Back Country Horsemen of Pisgah, spoke for many forest users when she told how she cherishes her rides in the forest, viewing scenery and wildlife. I really appreciate the opportunity because theres less and less places to do it, she said.
Echoing her comments was Tom England, a ruffed grouse hunter from Macon County. He said No Trespassing signs now cover much of the private land he used to roam as a youngster. The national forest is the only place where I can hunt and fish and shoot, he said. Weve got to share it, because its the only place left.
Information on the forest plan revision is available at www.fs.usda.gov/goto/nfsnc/nprevision. Send written comments via email to firstname.lastname@example.com or mail them to Nantahala-Pisgah Plan Revision, 160 Zillicoa St., Suite A, Asheville, N.C., 28801.

SACRAMENTO -- Late in the third quarter of a Northern California Regional Division II Championship game at Sleep Train Arena Saturday morning, St. Francis High girls basketball coach Brian Harrigan had some harsh words for Shelbi Aimonetti as she made her way to the bench.
The words, in a tough tone, brought tears to Aimonetti's eyes. But there was a message behind it all.
"I wanted her to believe in herself and I wanted her to believe in me and we would believe in each other," Harrigan said.
Aimonetti responded with a vengeance when she returned in the fourth. The 5-foot-8 senior guard drained a 3-pointer to start the fourth and then, moments later, hit a jumper that gave the Lancers an 18-point lead as they went on to post a 44-19 win over Lynbrook to claim the first NorCal title in school history.
"I just tried to control myself and keep my composure," Aimonetti said of her talk with Harrigan. "This is NorCals and I had to hit my shots. That 3-pointer was a big shot. I believed after that and then I hit my next shot."
Aimonetti scored a game-high 15 points — seven in the fourth quarter.
The top-seeded Lancers (24-8) advance to the California Interscholastic Federation title game, facing Lynwood Saturday at 2 p.m. at Sleep Train Arena.
No. 3 Lynbrook's historic season comes to an end under first-year coach Cynthia Ting. The Vikings (25-6), who finished tied for first in the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League De Anza Division, scored the fewest points in a NorCal title game. They also tied the record for fewest points scored in a regional title game. In 2003, Mission Prep-San Luis Obispo beat Central Valley Christian 56-19.
"Overall, I'm really proud of them," Ting said. "They poured their hearts and souls into each game. This isn't a good feeling, but this is a great team."
Lynbrook got seven points and nine rebounds from Sara Dysin. Teammate Jackie Hudepohl added four points and four rebounds.
"This sets the tone for next year," Ting said. "This lets the people see how much work it takes to get this far."
Lynbrook had trouble scoring all night. Chalk that up to a stingy St. Francis defense.
Lynbrook scored the game's first bucket, but the Lancers scored the next 14 and had a 14-2 lead with 6:35 left in the second quarter after a 3-pointer by Aimonetti. Lynbrook scored just nine points in the second half as St. Francis surged with 27.
"We hang our hats on our defense," Harrigan said.
Harrigan is no stranger to this venue. The former Sacred Heart Cathedral coach will be making his seventh trip to a state title game.
"I'm able to tell them about the atmosphere and to enjoy it," Harrigan said.
The Lancers took a commanding 38-16 on back-to-back buckets by Jennifer Lucian midway through the fourth quarter. Lucian finished with 12 points and six rebounds. Teammate Kate Hoey grabbed 11 rebounds and scored six points.
"I couldn't be any more proud," Harrigan said. "The team worked hard all season and they bought into a system."

How Sweet It Is!
This post is written by Shelley Hendrix, Autism Speaks' Director of State Advocacy Relations. She currently resides in Baton Rouge, La. with her two children, Liam and Mairin. Liam was diagnosed with autism age the age of two in 1998. She began advocating on behalf of her son and other children with autism almost from day one.
In both our Federal and State-based legislative initiatives, Autism Speaks uses a specific formula – our "cookie recipe." My last two blogs focused on flour, representing our grassroots effort, and eggs, which represent unity and focus. With our cookie mix fully underway now, we need to add in three new ingredients – butter, which represents professional lobbyist assistance, a pinch of salt, which represents the bill's legislative champion and sugar, which represents the policy. Each state's "cookie," its autism insurance reform initiative, is shaped, flavored and decorated differently once we bake them but when the recipe is followed to a tee we have a tasty treat in the end for people to enjoy.
Most sugar cookie recipes call for both one stick of butter, a pinch of salt and a cup of sugar. In order to get all the ingredients to mix most effectively, you have to blend all three of these before you mix them in with flour and eggs. Our goal at Autism Speaks is to secure the greatest benefit for as many children for as long as possible. Depending a state's existing insurance code and their particular political-economical condition, our model legislation is retrofitted through a development process that requires legislators and the community work together to produce bill language that is most likely to pass. Although it sounds counterintuitive at first, developing a perfect bill is not necessarily our aim. Passing a good bill, that achieves our number one goal of the highest coverage for the most children, is what we are after. Politics is the ultimate art of negotiation – start high and work down through all interested parties – the parents, the children, the community as a whole, the legislators and the executive branch – to roll out a bill that the parties can agree to and – here is the key word – enforce.
A bill is just a bill – words on paper that might read well but have no true impact. A law is what actually affects change.
So we take our sweet piece of policy, the sugar, and often blend that together with butter, our lobbyists or other professional advisors, before we even begin adding the other ingredients to the mix. Once that is all whipped up together we throw in our pinch of salt – which is a champion. We have had champions in this state-by-state campaign who have been, most definitely, worth their salt. These champions fight like pit bulls in committees and on the legislative floor for your child almost like their own. To be most effective, these ingredients are mixed in a separate bowl, and then folded in with the flour, our grassroots, and eggs, our unity and focus, to produce the raw cookie dough.
Cookie dough made without sugar is just a biscuit. Cookie dough made without butter doesn't have the smooth texture needed to roll it out and shape it properly. And salt? It's just a pinch…but that pinch is important. Salt is used in baking for its chemical properties. Salt slows down all the chemical reactions during baking making the dough stronger and tighter. Salt impacts the shelf life of the final product and it potentiates the flavor of all the other ingredients, especially the flour. It might be the tiniest portion with regard to the scale of other ingredients but incredibly essential.
With all of these ingredients assembled and blended our dough is almost ready. But just like a bill is a bill – NOT a law. Similarly, dough is just dough – NOT a cookie. Next week, we will learn how to roll out that dough, have our cookies take shape and finish our recipe!

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo (KKCO) Colorado Senator Steve King and Representative Ray Scott were on hand to speak about Romney's plans to take office. It was all part of the Romney-Ryan bus tour across Colorado. Some issues that were discussed include how America has seen record breaking unemployment rates, Romney's plan to strengthen the middle class, and how we in Colorado can get more jobs. Even though Romney wasn't in attendance Sunday, his supporters were very excited about November.
"I believe that we have a man that's going to give us hope and brain over hope and change. I believe firmly that Mitt Romney is the right person for the job of President of the United States and its obvious that what we have now isn't presidential," says one supporter. "One county at a time, we have to restore America to what it once was," says another supporter. "People are hurting, business are being closed; I think that the morale is down, and Romney gives us that spirit and hope that we can thrust forward and rebuild this wonderful country," says another supporter.
Officials also addressed the importance of voting, and what people can do to spread the word about the campaign.
If you missed out Sunday, it's not too late for you. Romney and Ryan's bus will continue it's tour through Colorado Monday, including one more stop in the valley. The bus will be at the Business Incubator Center starting at 8:45 am. It will be stopping for the Colorado Energy Advisory Committee launch press conference. The Romney-Ryan tour bus will then be heading to Gunnison to the Palisades Restaurant at 1 pm.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The suspect in the shooting that killed a mother and injured her two children has been taken into custody.
Steve Lawrence Allen has been booked into the Richmond County Jail.
Allen was charged with murder, two counts of aggravated assault and a weapons charge on Wednesday.
Tuesday, April 16, 2013
6:30 p.m.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The names of the victims have been released in the shooting at Biltmore Place.
Linda Crumbley and her 33-year-old son Mario Crumbley and 27-year-old daughter Dekrizia Crumbley were all taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds.
Linda, 57, died from her injuries at the hospital.
Mario is said to be in critical but stable condition, and Dekrizia is in serious but stable condition.
Steve Lawrence Allen, 52, was later arrested at a Walmart parking lot in Toombs County. Allen is facing murder, two counts of aggravated assault and weapons charges.
6 p.m.
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- One person is dead, and two others are in the hospital after a shooting around 9:30 a.m.Tuesday.
It all happened on the 3500 block of Biltmore Place near the Meadowbrook neighborhood in south Augusta.
A lot of people, like Shenitia Martin in the neighborhood, heard the gunshots and saw the chaotic scene.
"Then I heard 'pow, pow,' and then it was like, 'pow pow!' After so many seconds."
D'Lario Vance also heard the shots.
"I thought it was just, you know, people shooting up in the air, testing their guns or whatever. I didn't know it was this," he said.
The call came in reporting a shooting with one person injured, but when deputies got to the 3500 block of Biltmore Place, they discovered three people had been shot and taken to the hospital. One of them died.
"I came up this way and that's when I seen the young lady on the ground," Martin said.
Jermaine Evans also heard the gunshots, a sound that hit a little too close to home for him.
"I know what them gunshots mean," he said.
Six years ago, Evans was shot in a drive-by shooting. The injury left him paralyzed from the waist down.
Hearing the gunshots so close to home brings back a flood of old memories.
"I know what they're going through, so all I can do is put my heart to them," he said.
The murder has the entire neighborhood on high alert.
"This don't always happen. We have crime out here, but not anything like this," Martin said.
Deputies found 52-year-old Steve Lawrence Allen in Toombs County. But, even with a suspect in custody, the people who saw this scene unfold are worried for the safety of their neighborhood.
"I'm kinda worried because it is a neighborhood full of children, young children at that. I have two myself ... it's going to leave the neighborhood kind of shook up for a minute, but, you know, we're going to bounce back," Vance said.
Charges are still pending in the case.
Initial report:
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- One person was killed and two others were injured during a shooting in south Augusta Tuesday morning.
Bullet holes dotted a car parked in front of the home on the 3500 block of Biltmore Place near Meadowbrook Drive.
Richmond County deputies were called to the scene at about 9:30 a.m.
"I stepped outside, I heard a couple shots, like two, and then probably five seconds between that, I heard two more," said neighbor Dlario Vance.
All three shooting victims were taken to the hospital, which is where one of the victims was pronounced dead. There is no word on the conditions of the other two victims, who are still being treated. The names of the victims have not been released at this time.
Deputies have named 52-year-old Steve Lawrence Allen of Blythe, Ga., as a person of interest. Allen was last seen driving a green 2005 Ford F-150. If you have any information, call the Richmond County Sheriff's Office.

Far more than just a collection of felting patterns, this colorful book is a treatise on the art of felting, from picking your yarn to testing swatches, knitting and felting your project, assembling the pieces, and blocking them to perfection.
Galeskas' writing is conversational, personable, and easy to follow—it's almost as good as being in one of her workshops.
Under the Covers
The book is divided into two parts, an overview of felting basics, and then the projects. Projects are further divided into five categories: You Can Take it With You (bags), Warm Heads (hats and berets), Warm Hands & Warm Heart (mittens, a muff, and a vest), Warm Feet (slippers, moccasins, and booties), and The Comforts of Home (a rug, pillows, tea cozy, hot water bottle cover, etc.).
Rank beginners have all the information they need to get started, including a well-illustrated technique tutorials at the back of the book. More experienced knitters can jump straight to the patterns, which all follow a clear, logical flow of thought.
Intelligent Insight
Within each pattern section, Galeskas points out common pitfalls and helpful workarounds, such as how to avoid holes around mitten thumb gussets, and how to create a smooth crown on brimmed hats. This is the kind of helpful information I wish I'd had when I first began felting.
I was also excited to see that Galeskas gave three pages to the discussion of which yarns are best for felting. And having tried many of the yarns she mentions, I can vouch for the intelligence and wisdom in her comments. Very refreshing!
Swatch, Swatch, Swatch
A fan of the swatch, Galeskas makes a compelling argument for test-felting swatches of your yarn prior to beginning a project. In one example, she shows a picture of two identical projects, knitted in different yarns, and the completely different results they produced.
Again, it's very refreshing to see an author pay this level of attention to yarns with no evident vendor bias.
Galeskas also discusses the top-loading vs. front-loading washing machine dilemma and explains how to felt by hand if you have no washing machine at your disposal. And for those of you interested in needle felting, there's a section on this too.
A Valuable Investment
If you only counted the pages without reading them, you might think that $21.95 is a bit much for a book this size. Don't be swayed: There's more insight (and useful projects) here than in most books twice its size.

1. Being Filipino
Saturday night's barbecue with Sol Laforteza was _the_ best evening I've had in Canada so far, and I owe so very much to Dr. Oposa for introducing me to their wonderful family.
It was amazing how quickly they took me in and made me feel welcome. Upon hearing that I'd graduated from Ateneo, no fewer than three Atenistas started chatting with me about our alma mater. Then there were questions about high school, grade school (turns out a number of them had also been associated with St. Scholastica's College), the diabolo I brought... And of course, the brownies were a big hit.
What really made me melt, though, was how they repeatedly referred to the Philippines as home. Even those who had moved as far back as 1988 still had very active connections with the Philippines, still thought of retiring (or at least skipping the Canadian winter) in the Philippines to teach. With all of our tsk-tsk-tsking over the political messes the country gets itself into, there was still that underlying pride in our country.
And oh, how Filipino we were last night. From discussions of traditional delicacies to musings on the lyrical properties of deep Filipino, it was an evening celebrating our culture. Top it all off with truly horrendous puns (like the name of an actual salon: Scissors Palace), another Filipino specialty, and you've got a night to remember.
I had a lot of fun teaching Gretchen how to do the diabolo, and by the end of the night both she and Leslie could get it spinning pretty quickly. Tito Gil made very passable and amusing attempts. He's a natural comic and performer, positively twinkling with energy and joy. I'd like to be like that when I grow old! It'll take me years to gain the kind of ease and confidence he had, though... Amazing, really.
What a fantastic group of people! I'm really, really glad I had an opportunity to meet them, and I hope to get to know them better over the next couple of years.

2. Divergence
Knowing how I wanted to practice my Japanese, Mark Chignell told me about a couple of Japanese-related events this weekend. (Isn't it nice to have a research supervisor who keeps track of your extracurricular interests?)
The first event was a language exchange session held last Saturday, at which I ran into no other than Baryon Posadas. Come to think of it, I shouldn't have been that surprised. Of course he'd be at a Japanese-language event.
Everyone was heading off to Starbucks to chat over coffee. I wanted to ask how he had been, but I needed to go to Clarkson Station to meet Tita Sol. We tried to work out some other time to meet, but he had promised to help someone move and he needed to find an apartment, and a lot of other things. Technically, I think I'm supposed to e-mail him if I want to meet him for coffee (or hot chocolate), but now that I think about it, I don't have much to chat with him about. Except perhaps for general settling-in questions, like where's a good place to open a bank account or get a credit card, and I already sorta know the answers to those questions.
Anyway, I went to the barbecue today because it meant a free lunch. I didn't get to practice my Japanese, though, as I didn't feel up to making small talk in a foreign language--not when there was a perfectly good conversation to have with Mark about research plans and what I should do while he's off in Japan. (Yes, we were talking about work. On a Sunday! During a long weekend!)
During a lull in the conversation, we wandered around in search for non-MSG chips. Baryon was there at the table with the unflavored chips, so I briefly introduced them to each other. Mark got drawn into a conversation with a bunch of Japanese girls, so I was left on my own. I asked them if I could sit there. I sat there for maybe a minutes, idly munching on chips. Got bored, found it difficult to break into a clique, eventually thought of a question to ask Mark and left the table without a word.
Anyway, the entire thing prompted a reflection on divergence. I'd borrowed a number of books from him before (speculative fiction, mainly), and that was our common interest. Now my reading tastes have changed (non-fiction and children's lit) and our worlds are really very different now.
Mark's a pretty good judge of character, and he picked up on the differences too. <laugh> In fact, he thought Baryon was strange. I shrugged and said, "He's from humanities." (Nothing against the humanities, of course. Hi Marcelle!)
I think that energy makes a big difference to me. Mark's a positive, high-energy kind of person, which is one of the reasons why I get along with him very well. Baryon and a number of other people I know don't show that kind of energy often. They're more reserved and detached.
If you take a look at the people I love hanging out with (Hiya, Just Geeks League! ;) ), they've all got positive energy. One of the things I like about chatting with Dominique is the way his smile comes through so well in his voice, and you know his face shows it too! Even Sean's deep and serious voice hides playfulness and wit. (You should watch his Hulk impression... It's hilarious!) Even though they have problems like everyone else, their upbeat personalities make the tough times easier to weather.
I don't know if Baryon's like that, and I somewhat remember that he laughs and joke about some things. Although it would be nice to pick his brains about stuff I need to know as an international student in Toronto, I think it would be a fair bit of work to get to the point where conversation's comfortable. I'll probably focus on developing new contacts instead, at least for now.

3. Lessons learned from the past week
- I'm very finicky when it comes to organizing. None of the popular organizing forms quite fit the weekly schedule + TODO list that I want to use. Custom letter-size forms are easy to make. I'm not sure how well I can translate to a smaller size; maybe if I do one week per page and then have the TODO list on the next page...
- Last week was find-a-group week. I tried Toast IT, Zero Gravity Circus and JCSA. Toast IT was the best in terms of social interaction, self-improvement and networking. That's something that's earned a fixed place on my calendar. I can join the other two groups maybe once a month.
- I'm pretty good at impromptu speeches and networking, but not really social small talk. I work best when the context is well-established and I feel I have something to offer people. That's why Toast I.T. works very well for me, but social chats like JCSA language exchanges don't really do the trick.
- Keeping track of my expenses is a breeze with Gnucash, a free and open source program that makes record-keeping fun and easy. I just sent my mom a summary of my credit card transactions and a detailed transaction report for everything involving a credit card. Whee!
- Working out my finances is scarily fun. I've just finished drawing
up yearly and monthly spending plans based on a general guide for
international students and my expenses for the past two weeks. I
OpenOffice.org Calc to recalculate remaining monthly budget automatically as I put in my initial estimates and then adjusted them based on my spending goal. I've decided to allocate more money to groceries and books than I had previously spent, and I've built in a small splurge allowance for little things I want. I'll test that spending plan this month and post additional reflections in September.
- The calendar I'm using right now really works for me. I should look into making an electronic version of it so that people reading my website can get a better feel of how I like to plan my day. I also need to work on a good contact management system to keep track of all the people I meet (and it turns out that I meet quite a number of new people each week)...

4. Spending plan
Whether you call it a budget or a spending plan, an idea of how much you can spend on what each month is a remarkably liberating thing. After you've put aside money for savings and important expenses such as
I keep my monthly spending plan on a ruled 3x5 index card labeled "Budget for August 2005." I divide the card into three columns: category, estimate, and remaining budget. At the beginning of each month, I write down the categories and estimates in ink, and the remaining budget in pencil. Throughout the month, I'll regularly update the remaining budget entries. If I want to spend more for something, I can reduce the budget of another category.
Let's see how well that system works this month!

5. Home economics
I wish I paid more attention in my home economics class. I have an excuse, though. I was 10 years old at the time! Now that I'm 21 and puzzled by everything from bike grease stains to the proper storage of food, I'm making up for my lack of common sense by buying thick, expensive books talking about stuff I really should have learned during my education.
Over the past two weeks, I have come to firmly believe that home economics should be taught throughout high school and college. It would have been a lot more useful than my social studies or history classes. (Indeed, a lot more useful than my computing classes...) What if arithmetic was taught in the context of budgets? What if critical thinking was tested through on-the-fly recipe substitutions? What if learning about life was an essential part of the curriculum?
I'm not just talking about exclusive girls' schools, mind you, but across-the-board education for everyone. I think the world would be a lot more peaceful if people learned how to manage household disputes and a lot more financially stable if they learned how to balance a checkbook or make a budget. I know _I_ would feel a lot better learning about these things systematically instead of figuring things out as I go along.
Bring back the lessons on washing clothes and folding fitted sheets, planning menus and shopping for groceries. It may be old hat to you, but some of us here are figuring things out for the first time!

'Frozen' Songwriters Will 'Let It Go' at The Oscars
Together, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and her husband Bobby Lopez wrote the music for Disney's megahit "Frozen," but they were celebrating separately Thursday when they received an Oscar nomination for the song "Let It Go." After leaving Sunday's Golden Globes without an award, Bobby stayed on in L.A., while Kristen returned to their Brooklyn home and their daughters, ages 4 and 8 (whose voices can be heard in the film). This morning Kristen dropped them off at school, and then dashed home just in time to see their category announced. "I think I woke him up on the other coast with my screaming," she said in a phone interview.
Singer Idina Menzel's soaring, defiant rendition of "Let It Go" has defined the success of the animated film about a princess, Anna (Kristen Bell), questing to find her older sister, Elsa (Menzel), who has plunged their kingdom into unending winter. The first soundtrack to an animated Disney film to hit No. 1 since 1995, "Frozen" is currently at the top of the albums chart for a second week. And the Web has been overrun with videos of kids and grown-ups alike singing their own versions of "Let It Go." (Kristen said her latest favorite is a medley by members of the vocal group Pentatonix.)
"As a musical theater composer, you train yourself not to expect this kind of success, so it's always a little bit bewildering if you get it," Bobby said by phone, as he drove through L.A.
"Frozen" also received a nomination for best animated film. With $714 million at the worldwide box office so far, "Frozen" is Disney's highest-grossing film of all time. In a separate phone interview, directors Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee said they're still reeling from the film's success. "I felt like we were taking a few risks, going out with a big, bold musical and two female leads and a sincere fairytale. We didn't know if people would come," said Lee, who watched the Oscar nominations on her laptop while in bed with the flu.
Next week, the directors travel to Japan to help open the film there. After the Oscars in March (and a break), by summer the filmmakers expect to start adapting "Frozen" for Broadway, an effort Disney chief Bob Iger recently announced. Disney "would like us to be as involved as we can," said Lee, adding that the Lopezes are also expected to participate. Considering their theater experience, including Bobby's work on "The Book of Mormon" and "Avenue Q," Lee said, "They're beautifully qualified to do that. We all know the characters better than anyone."
Buck added, "There are quite a few songs they could dust off that didn't make it into the movie, at least the melodies."
As for the Oscars ceremony itself, the songwriters said it's too early to know how "Let It Go" might be performed. "It's not in our control, but we do hope that everyone gets to see the amazing Idina Menzel sing," Kristen said. The song was also released as a single recorded by singer Demi Lovato. Lee said she came to enjoy Lovato's version as a "power anthem with a little angst in it," but added, "For us, Idina is Elsa."
The acclaim around the soundtrack helps revive the musical legacy of Disney, established by such songwriters as Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, the team behind "Aladdin," "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Little Mermaid."
Working closely with other "Frozen" creators, the Lopezes strived to capture a traditional Disney sound, while adding contemporary twists. Among the lyrics in "Let It Go" that bear a 21st century stamp, Bobby said, is the line, "The cold never bothered me much anyway." Bobby describes it as "a very subversive lyric that helps the charisma of the character."
For Kristen, the lyric "be the good girl you always have to be" resonated personally. She said, "As a female writer I brought a lot of myself to the song, and how hard you have to work not to worry about what people think and whether you're living up to their expectations of a wife and a mother. You literally have to take those thoughts and slam the door on them."
After the duo came up with "Let It Go," the script was essentially rewritten around the number, the directors said. "The song blew us away. It told a much grander story of Elsa. We were dealing with her as a villain up until that moment. That song set us free to do something different," Lee said.
Buck added, "We were going for something bigger than good versus evil: fear versus hope."
Also nominated for original song: "Alone Yet Not Alone" by Bruce Broughton and Dennis Spiegel ("Alone Yet Not Alone"); "Happy" by Pharrell Williams ("Despicable Me 2"); "The Moon Song" by Karen O and Spike Jonze ("Her"); and "Ordinary Love" by U2 ("Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom").
In the category of animated feature films, "Frozen" will compete against "The Croods," "Despicable Me 2," "Ernest & Celestine," and "The Wind Rises."

People often confuse the words pedal and peddle. Pedal is a noun referring to a foot-operated lever, as on a bicycle, and a verb chiefly meaning 'move by working the pedals of a bicycle' ( they pedalled along the road). Peddle, on the other hand, is a verb meaning 'sell goods or promote an idea' ( he peddled printing materials around the country she peddled a ludicrously Utopian view of the past). The related words pedlar and pedaller are also confused. A pedlar (also spelled peddler, especially in the US) is a person who goes from place to place selling goods; the word for a person who sells illegal drugs or stolen goods (or, metaphorically, who promotes an idea or view) is generally spelled peddler. A pedaller (or, in the US, a pedaler) is someone who rides a bike.

In February of this year the city of Bryan, Texas lost two firefighters at a commercial structure fire. Lieutenants Gregory Pickard and Eric Wallace were killed while battling a fire at the Knights of Columbus hall.
Sunrise Beach firefighters conducted a fundraising drive and bought tee shirts honoring the fallen firefighters. "There is a bond between all firefighters, no matter where they work," said Chief Dennis Reilly. "If we can support the families and the department then we feel it is the right thing to do. Not only did Bryan lose two firefighters, West, Texas just lost 9 firefighters and another Chief was killed this weekend in Pennsylvania."
The tee shirt purchase raised $200 for the families of the fallen firefighters.
