text: Share Your Story: Con Olson by Christy D. on Thursday, September 5, 2013 Con Olson Kansas I originally became involved with the American Heart Association through my career. As a paramedic, we recognized the American Heart Association as the gold standard for our CPR and ACLS courses. Over time, I have had the opportunity to provide training certifications, become a BLS instructor and present at the 2012 STEMI Summit in Wichita. I am currently an ACLS Instructor for our service allowing me to educate paramedics, nurses and physicians. In addition to education, I serve as an EMS representative on the Northeastern Kansas Mission Lifeline program. This year I also attended the You're The Cure event in Washington DC on behalf of the American Heart Association. This allowed me to see a much larger picture of everything that the American Heart Association does. I was fortunate to meet cardiac and stroke survivors and hear their stories. I was able to learn about advocacy, the importance of research and to meet with my members of Congress to advocate for the American Heart Association and discuss the topics that are important to me as an EMS provider and to our patients. On a personal note, I have a family member that experienced several TIA's in a short time frame a few years ago. Since then I've worked to promote stroke awareness. We have been fortunate enough to develop a comprehensive stroke protocol for EMS and our Critical Access Hospital, which has become an Emergent Stroke Ready facility. « Now share your story Share This

The eight-count indictment alleges the defendants variously engaged in racketeering, wire fraud, extortion and embezzlement. All had been arrested earlier that day following a lengthy joint probe by the FBI and the U.S. Department of Labor.

Immigration & Migration
Worldwide, there are more than 190 million migrants living outside their countries of origin, nearly half of them women. Women may migrate out of choice but they are usually driven by necessity: poverty, conflict, domestic violence, natural disaster or oppressive political or cultural conditions. In North America, immigrant women have outnumbered immigrant men since 1930, yet their progress in education, income and status has lagged and policymakers have often overlooked their unique challenges and contributions. For instance, although they occupy lower-wage jobs, immigrant women send a much higher proportion of their earnings to their home countries than do immigrant men. Compared to non-immigrant women, immigrant women face higher rates of unemployment and are much more likely to live in poverty and suffer abuse or discrimination.

text: I just cleaned the tub, and filled it getting ready for the Summer. This is a Coleman Horizon Series. I would guess it's about 8 or 10 years old. It was built into a deck on the home we bought a few years ago. It was running fine last fall when I shut it down and emptied it for our Michigan winter. Now the filter pump pulses off and on for about 15 seconds, and then shuts off for about 15 seconds. Then starts cycling again. Pump 2 runs fine. Blower runs fine. Heater is not coming on. It's a problem to work on since there's only about 30 inches of head room under the deck.

Don Mary-Jane charm on your feet while treating your soles to abiding relief with Weil by Orthaheel Women's Fiesta. Having received the Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association, the footbeds are expertly crafted to provide bolster motion and fit to help with crucial alignment and soften aches that often crop up after long days.
Shoe attributes include:
I love the red/hot pink color combination and the buckles on these slippers. I agree with other reviewers that these run wide--I have wide feet and these are even wider, so I wouldn't wear them to walk any farther than the mailbox. For just hanging out indoors, though, they are quite comfy and have great support.
these slippers are so supportive. i would rather have them on than go barefoot. i bought the red with magenta inside,so fun!.
I was so excited to receive these via mail though did have to return them.
Loved the cozy look of the wool and the deep purple! Loved the comfort and support
From the arch stabilization. However this style ran too wide for my foot and kept
Falling off as I walked. I have additional pairs of Orthoheels and will continue to shop for new styles that best meet the width of my foot.
I bought these because I wanted a shoe that had good arch support and provide proper body alignment. I've been very satisfied on both counts. These are good to wear when the weather gets cooler.
This shoe is very comfortable with the orthaheel recessed heal design and the wool. With a size 11.5 foot it looks clownish on me. Worst part is that the shoe does not stay on when you walk. I don't like to have to hold my shoes on.

Creating a cozy hearth for the family
by Margie Monin Dombrowski
rethink your decor, re-think your decor, boris bally, salvage, reuse, sustainable furniture, decor, home decor, recycled materials
If artist Boris Bally's furniture collection had a catchy name it would probably be, "Caution: Really Cool Furniture Made from Recycled Street Signs Ahead." Now, this isn't your typical sustainable furniture with muted, calm colors. Bally's designs take sustainable design to a whole new level, scruff it up a bit and give it some street cred. Using salvaged street signs and loud colors, Bally's collection of hand-fabricated pieces get you to stop! and think about sustainability having no limits.
Transit Chairs by Boris Bally. Photo Courtesy Boris Bally.
Not just for the frat house-aesthetic, these Transit Chairs designed by Boris Bally make a major statement and can be a conversation piece for your interior space. They're made from recycled traffic signs, champagne corks and steel hardware.
Pedestal Drums by Boris Bally. Photo Courtesy Boris Bally.
Pedestal drums have never been funkier than these, which were commissioned by Neiman Marcus in 2002 to be used as table bases in store displays. Each drum was hand-fabricated from recycled street signs and copper trivets, then given glass tops.
NYC Transit Table by Boris Bally. Photo Courtesy Boris Bally.
Aluminum is 100 percent recyclable and so too are subway signs. This graphic NYC Transit Table was designed using officially licensed MTA subway signs from New York City, champagne corks and hardware.
Bally's pieces may be comprised of recycled materials, but taking bits and pieces of urban decay and making them sustainable is definitely a fresh idea.

The Hangover: Mike Tyson
- Air Date:
- Two days before his wedding, Doug and his three friends drive to Las Vegas for a blow-out bachelor party they'll never forget. But, in fact, when the three groomsmen wake up the next morning, they can't remember a thing. For some reason, they find a tiger in the bathroom and a six-month-old baby in the closet of their suite at Caesars Palace. The one thing they can't find is Doug. With no clue as to what transpired and little time to spare, the trio must retrace their hazy steps and all their bad decisions in order to figure out where things went wrong and hopefully get Doug back to L.A. in time to walk down the aisle.

So in the middle of my adrenal nightmare, something unexpected:
A fully-loaded 2009 Audi 4 Quattro convertible. We bought it. It's mine. Mine. Mine. Mine. A vehicular concubine. A "Sapphire Blue Knight", in homage to its jewel-toned monochromatic shell and soft hood. That deep blue the color of rare sky that matches the changing shades of blue in my eyes and complements the coppery red in my sometimes curly locks. Even makes my thighs look thin due to the fact that, well duh, you can't see them since, of course, I'm typically seated while driving. And even if you could—if, for some reason, I found myself role playing the opening scene of Footloose—I still don't think anybody would notice because the car itself commands a certain kind of singular attention.
And when I drive it, I am momentarily transported. To a place of supreme hotness, where all my youthful fantasies come to life. To where I no longer feel violently middle-aged, peri-menopausal, and adrenally deprived.
Which is one reason—or maybe even two—why we got it.
I think it's fair to say, we surely weren't looking for it. We didn't plan to leave the house on that sunny Saturday about a week and half ago with the intention of buying a sports car worthy of what I'm now calling my second official mid-life crisis. (The first being my leaving Chicago eight years ago to come here and [finally] get married, mother two rescue dogs, have a house in the suburb, and lay claim to an armoire full of black stretch pants.)
But it was the universe in action. A divine intervention if you will that delivered just the appropriate dose of healing for the incurable disease of feeling old and bored and like you just need a little something something…
You see, we went out with my mother and father for a fun day on the town. I had been thinking about trading in our Honda Element—planning to get something new in early 2012. It was just a fluke that some of the dealers in our area were having "March Madness" sales—and that my dad was also bored and up for a good time checking out their inventory.
I had no idea that we'd take one car—and one car only—for a casual test drive and then buy it. But who could resist that tan leather interior, the kindness of the Audi navigation system (her voice like a gentle therapist), the convenience of blue tooth. The ease with which the top opens to reveal endless possibility.
As I turned the wheel for the first time, I see Dan feeling the sides of the leather with the flat bottom of his palm from the corner of my eye. "Nice ride, huh?" the car sales guy in the back seat calls to us, noticing a little drool on the side of my husband's mouth. He's packed in to the rear of the car like 10 pounds of potatoes in a five-pound bag since the two-door Audi is really not designed for somebody who's 6' 5".
But whatever. I was too busy feeling like I'd been dropped into a warm hot bath (seat warmers, can you hear the angels?) than to worry about what's-his-name's comfort. After all, there was water floating around me like liquid jello. It was my time to enjoy it…
…And a far cry from the bus-like sensation I'd come to know from driving the Element two hours a day for four year on the Pennsylvania turnpike—of course, a perfectly fine car, if you're hauling freight or operating a mobile dog grooming business.
But not the Blue Knight.
Not a dream machine that makes me feel less like I've arrived and more like I'm riding in a well-worn-but-really-not Barcalounger sipping on calorie-free hot chocolate while my husband gives me a very focused foot rub.
Once the test drive was over and the sales guy reached his way out of the back of the seat as if he were practicing some extreme form of yoga, I looked at my husband and said this:
"Can we get it? I want it. Can we?"
"Sure, why not?" he said, casually, as if I'd just asked him if he wanted a piece of gum.
"Yep, really."
"Can we afford it?" Because even though it was used, it was more than $1.
"Sure, why not?"
"If we get it, can I still get my hair done every six weeks?"
"How about shoes–can I buy some new shoes?"
"No. Sure can't."
"How about the shellac manicure? Can I get that along with an occasional pedicure?"
"No, babe. You can't."
"But we can get the car, right?"
"Sure. Of course!"
And so, it's ours—resting quietly in the garage as I write. And it's glorious. And that's what's new, dear readers, since we last spoke. Oh sure, I'm still adrenally challenged, but now, I can "meditate" in style. In soft leather with satellite radio and just the right presets, a navigation system that tells me I'm a-okay, and blue tooth that makes hands-free calling as easy as a 90-minute massage.
If that doesn't help those nasty glands simmer down, I don't know what will. How about you? How do you like your car? Tell me all about it. And if you see me on the road, be sure to honk and smile.
And until next time!

British people make the best vampires, they also make good crooks. Pirates are all the rage! As is crazy Glenn Beck. An HBO pilot gets more interesting by the day, while Showtime finds none of its pilots worth keeping.
Oh here's what the whole Twilight fiasco needed: a touch of class. Lauded British actor Michael Sheen has joined the cast of the sequel, in which he'll play the leader of the Voltrons, a dangerous sect of vampires that are sparkly and wear high-water pants. Or something. [Variety] Speaking of classy British types, Ray Winstone, Anna Friel, and David Thewlis have all joined the cast of London Boulevard. The crime drama stars Keira Knightley and Colin Farrell and is being filmed in London this summer. It just shits sophistication! [Variety]
FX is capitalizing on the whole pirate craze, just as any self-respecting cable network ought to do. They've just green-lit a pilot for Pirate Hunters: USN (because initials are so hot in TV right now!), which follows Navy sailors as they sail the seas, stop pirates, and make careful, tender love to each other down somewhere in their bunks, buried in the belly of the ship. [Variety] In other pilot news, Showtime has decided to make it 0 for 4, passing on their final possible series for next season, Possible Side Effects. The show, written and directed by Tim Robbins and starring Josh Lucas, was the last of a quartet to be turned down by the premium cabler, following End of Steve, The Farm, and Ronna and Beverly. Instead Showtime has picked up, for cheap at a flea market, reruns of Arli$$ and Carnevale. [Variety]
Good news for NBC! Their new drama Southland set out on fairly sturdy legs on Thursday night, the first drama to air in that night's 10pm slot since e.r. came rumbling out of the gate allllll the way back in 1994. It earned 9.86 million viewers, winning the night in all key demos. The show's actually not half bad, I recommend giving it a look-see. Also Parks & Recreation held on to 88% of its Office lead-in, though it was certainly buoyed by the second new Office of the evening waiting just beyond it. It'll have a tougher time holding onto those numbers once My Name Is Earl returns to the 8pm slot next week. [Variety] In other businessy news, Sundance Institute executive director Ken Brechner has resigned from his post after 14 years. This comes after the recent news that festival director Geoff Gilmore has resigned to head up the Tribeca Film Festival. Sundance getting too big? Too corporate? To stagnant? Restless and in need of a change? Probably a little of all of that. [THR]
In case his bellowing from over there on Fox at 5pm isn't quite loud enough, populist horrorshow Glenn Beck is taking his act on the road. He'll be doing six live performances in June, touring such liberal hotspots as Houston, Kansas City, and San Diego. He calls his act "poor man's Seinfeld," but I call it "poor man's insane agitator, pitchfork supplier, and torch lighter." [Variety] While on the topic of imbalanced, worrisome people, animal nut Jeff Corwin has landed a deal with the Food Network. Apparently attempting to compete with the Travel Channel's Bizarre Foods, Corwin will travel the globe eating weird stuff. He'll also spend some time staring unblinkingly at the camera, smiling insanely. [THR]
HBO's new pilot The Wonderful Maladys, about three siblings who lost their parents at a young age, just keeps getting more interesting. Already making me curious for starring the wonderful trio of Sarah Michelle Gellar, Molly Parker, and Nate Corddry, the show has now added the underused Adam Scott (Party Down) and Zak Orth (Vicky Cristina Barcelona, recently) to the cast. Consider me intrigued. [THR]

Evergreen Curlers Depart for Team USA Trials
Today Evergreen CC curlers Cathy Cummins, Bill Gray, and Arnie Iwanick (coach) leave Portland for Madison, WI for the last set of trials to form the US Paralympic Wheelchair Curling Team.
This last set of trials will focus on skill shots. It's a very demanding three day challenge. Each player will stick-deliver more than 200 rocks per day. Each stone has to be delivered the way it's described in the instructions. There will be many sets of draws with various stones placed on the ice to obstruct the player, and going through ports that are 1.5 times the width of a stone. Each shot gets three tries. Points are counted by how accurate the delivery worked; 5, 4. 3, 2, 1. A perfectly made shot gets 5 points. The athlete will deliver approximately 85 stones in the morning, and again after a lunch break and again in the evening. ...read more

Tallahassee, Florida- August 25, 2012
The State Emergency Operations Center remains activated to provide resources to the counties as requested due to Tropical Storm Isaac, now located less than 600 miles southeast of Miami, Florida. Governor Scott and the State Emergency Response Team are monitoring the situation and are prepared to support local officials. Florida's residents, businesses and visitors should focus on preparedness efforts over the weekend to ensure safety and security following any potential affects from Tropical Storm Isaac.
Tropical Storm Isaac remains a large storm and tropical storm force winds, 39 to 73 miles per hour, now extend as far as 230 miles from the center. Tropical storm force winds could arrive as early as Sunday morning in the Keys and Miami-Dade counties, with winds arriving further north in southern Florida Sunday afternoon. Hurricane force winds could arrive in the Keys late Sunday night. Areas of the Florida Panhandle could see the arrival of tropical storm force winds Monday night through Tuesday.
Families and businesses should visit www.FloridaDisaster.org to build their emergency plan and learn about what to stock in the disaster supply kits, including water, food, medication, important papers and other essential items. Supplies should be able to sustain your family for up to 72 hours after a disaster. Residents and visitors should heed all instructions from local officials and stay tuned to local media for the latest on Tropical Storm Isaac.
At 8 am EDT Saturday, Tropical Storm Isaac was emerging from the coast of Haiti, located about 125 miles northwest of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, or approximately 587 miles southeast of Miami, Florida. Isaac continues to move northwest around 14 mph.
A general northwest to west-northwest motion is expected through the next three days, followed by a turn to the north on Tuesday. Forecasts take Tropical Storm Isaac across eastern Cuba today and moving out into the Florida Straits Saturday night or early Sunday morning. Isaac is then forecast move over the Florida Keys late Sunday night, parallel Southwest Florida Monday, then turn towards the north on Tuesday ahead of an approaching trough, eventually making landfall Tuesday night somewhere in the Florida Panhandle, although the range of possibilities is still between Apalachee Bay and southeastern Louisiana. Maximum sustained winds are near 60 mph. Although Isaac is feeling the effects of land interaction, strengthening is expected to occur once Isaac emerges from the eastern Cuba tonight. There is a 50% chance that Isaac could remain a tropical storm, but every intensity model shows Isaac becoming a hurricane either in the Florida Straits or eastern Gulf of Mexico.
Hurricane Warning – Entire Florida Keys; Florida West Coast from Bonita Beach southward
Hurricane Watch – Golden Beach to Ocean Reef
Tropical Storm Warning – Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef

Elementary students tell police a woman threatened to shoot down school
Published: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 9:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 15, 2013 at 9:50 p.m.
Cleveland Academy of Leadership students told police that adults cursed at them on the playground and one woman threatened to "Shoot the school down" around 12:15 p.m. Thursday.
Two third-grade students reported the incident to teachers who did not hear the alleged exchange, according to an incident report from Spartanburg Public Safety. The students said four men and a woman between the ages of 20 and 30 approached and began cursing at them before teachers asked the group to leave, the report states.
The woman who made the alleged threat was later identified and told police she went to the school to see her niece for a Valentine's Day party and stated that children approached her and began calling her fat. The woman told police she did not argue with the children, nor did she say anything about shooting up the school.
Police cautioned her and others in the group to stay away from the school during ongoing classes.
Police believe there is no threat to the safety of students or staff due to the incident, the report states.

Three Takeaways on the Fed's Policy Statement – December Taper Not Off the Table
The Federal Reserve emerged from its October meeting effectively in a wait-and-see mode on the economy and policy, making few substantive changes to its statement.
Here are a few key takeaways:
–LITTLE CHANGE IN THE ASSESSMENT OF THE ECONOMY: The housing sector has "slowed somewhat," the Fed said. That's a downgrade from September when officials said it had been strengthening. The labor market had shown "some further improvement," the Fed said, an ever-so-slight downgrade from the "further improvement" the Fed noted in September. On net, very little change in how officials see the economy performing.
–FINANCIAL CONDITIONS IMPROVING: The Fed dropped its reference to financial conditions having tightened in recent months, as it noted in September. That's a nod of approval to rising stock prices and the recent drop in long-term interest rates. The Fed also removed a reference to its concern about higher mortgage rates, which have dropped since the last meeting.
–STILL AN EYE ON TAPERING: The Fed retained language it used in September which suggested officials had an eye on pulling back from their bond buying program if the economy improved. It noted "underlying strength" in the broader economy and said it chose to "await more evidence" on the economy's performance before adjusting the bond-buying program.
Taken together, the Fed isn't taking a December adjustment to the bond-buying program off the table. But that comes with the strong caveat that it depends on whether the economy is living up to its expectations. As part of that assessment, Fed officials will be updating their economic forecasts in December and will need to make a judgment about whether their projection of accelerating economic growth in 2014 is likely to be met.

San Jose has resumed its legal assault on Major League Baseball, urging a federal appeals court to strip baseball of its cherished antitrust exemption and find the league has violated the city's rights by stalling its quest to lure the Oakland A's to Silicon Valley.
In court papers filed Wednesday night, San Jose asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to reinstate its central legal arguments against Major League Baseball, which rely on claims that the league has undermined the A's desire to move to a new downtown ballpark in San Jose.
Calling MLB's nearly century-old exemption from antitrust laws a product of a bygone era, San Jose lawyers argue their lawsuit should be allowed to proceed over what they say is an unjustified delay in deciding the A's fate. U.S. District Judge Ronald Whyte dismissed the case last year, finding that baseball's antitrust exemption barred it.
The 9th Circuit recently agreed with San Jose's request to put the case on a fast track, which could allow the court to hear arguments as soon as May. MLB's lawyers, who have called the city's claims meritless, are expected to file counterarguments in the coming weeks.
San Jose, the A's ownership and MLB have been embroiled in a standoff for more than four years, as baseball has yet to act on the team's request to move to the South Bay. The San Francisco Giants own territorial rights to the South Bay and oppose the move, which as a result must be approved by league owners.
MLB commissioner Bud Selig notified A's owner Lew Wolff last June that for now the move has been rejected, according to court documents. Wolff, however, has downplayed the league's position, insisting he will continue to press to move the A's from O.Co Coliseum, the league's fifth oldest ballpark, to San Jose.
In addition to the federal court case, San Jose has a separate state court lawsuit pending in which city lawyers argue MLB's position on the A's has undermined the city's business interests because it interferes with an option agreement between the city and team to buy land for the ballpark.
Even if the city prevails in court, San Jose voters would have to approve the ballpark deal. Oakland city officials, meanwhile, continue to work on keeping the A's in the East Bay.

A true liberal arts college, St. John's College is first and foremost a community of learning. At its heart is a liberal arts curriculum that is conceived as a coherent program of study, which immerses students in reading great books and in lively and unmediated conversation with one another and with the books themselves. Every part of the program aims to raise essential questions that give rise to sustained and thoughtful discussion and inquiry. The more comprehensive perspective of the seminar is balanced and supported by the more detailed work and technical activities of the tutorials: in these classes, students study language, mathematics, science, and music. Through active involvement in all aspects of their learning, students at St. John's College discover that the books they study speak not only to one another, but directly and importantly to us and to contemporary concerns.
The undergraduate program at St. John's is designed to foster the collegiality, conversation, and friendship that allow students to develop the intellectual strengths on which true freedom of mind depends. All undergraduates share in a common, four-year, rigorous liberal arts curriculum that calls on them to activate their powers of reasoning and invention to the fullest extent.
Both the Annapolis and the Santa Fe campuses of St. John's offer a four-semester Master of Arts in Liberal Arts (MALA) program; the Santa Fe campus also offers a three-semester Master of Arts in Eastern Classics (MAEC) program. These programs seek to promote a critical understanding of our intellectual heritage and to foster serious inquiry through the study of great books. They aim to deepen and focus established habits of learning and to supplement modes of specialized or professional learning.
"To read [is] an act of creation in which no one can do our work for us..."

COUNCIL VOTES TO BUILD COMPLEX A small group of people showed up at a Tribal Council Executive Session held Thursday evening April 1 5, and made known their opinions on the construction of a new Tribal Complex. The Council was to decide that night whether to place the issue on the May 1 election ballot. As was stated at the quarterly meeting, several persons felt the people should be given the right to decide in an election; others felt that having voted the Councilmen to represent the people, that they (the Council) should be the ones to make the decision. After some discussion, the Council voted 5 to 3 to reconfirm their past decisions, and go ahead with the construction of the Co mplex at the Pablo site. The issue will not be placed on the May 1st ballot, and the Council has stated that this is their final decision. Prior to the vote, John "Chris" Lozeau, of the Public Health Service, told the Council that he had been mis-quoted by John Neuman, EDA Office, at district meetings and in the Char-Koosta. He said he had not stated that there is no land availible in St. Ignatius ; and that the Tribe would not have to fund their own sewer and water system, as was stated by Neuman, if the Council chose St. Ignatius as the site for the Complex. Lozeau stated that he did not know if this made any difference to the Council, but he wanted to clear the matter up in case it would. One group, opposed to the Complex, had circulated a petition, however the petition was never presented to the Council. Although individuals voiced their opposition, not enough organized participation took place to convince the council to change their vote.

Miles, the Autobiography
by Davis, Miles
780.91 Davis, Miles DAV
Miles Davis's autobiography is more than a who's who of music. It's a detailed history of a talented St. Louis dentist's son, the powerful influence of a teacher, and his phenomenal drive and talent at a young age that led him to attend but choose to leave Juillard. Davis in later life was a friend of Jean Paul Sartre. Cicely Tyson fans may want to skim some parts, but overall, other than his frequent use of profanity, I was even more amazed after reading this at Davis' talent and continual quest for growth. After reading this, it's time to go check out more of his CDs again... it's a good thing he finished this before his 1991 death.

Bellman & Black
by Setterfield, Diane
A long-awaited second novel by the author of The Thirteenth Tale, Bellman & Black is that very rare article: a second book that's better than the first.
Will Bellman is ten years old when, out playing with his friends, he boasts that he can hit a rook with his slingshot. None of the boys seriously believe he'll accomplish this feat - but they all watch the stone as it arcs through the sky, then falls and kills the bird. Will is extremely disturbed by his deed, but the incident soon fades from memory. The first half of the book follows his life: through childhood and then working his uncle's mill, through marriage and fatherhood. William Bellman is an ambitious man and it seems all he touches turns to gold. He lives an apparently charmed life - a successful business, loving marriage and four healthy and happy children. Yet, there is a price to be paid for this success. A dark shadow hangs over this seemingly ideal existence in the form of a sinister, mysterious man in black who appears whenever William attends the funeral of a loved one (in Victorian England, funerals occur with alarming frequency). When the funerals become more personal for William, he is forced to strike a bargain with the man in black to save the only precious thing left in his life. A new business venture is born: Bellman & Black.
This is a dark, atmospheric and strange Victorian tale depicting a man's glorious rise and tragic fall. Though it's billed as a ghost story, it's more accurately described as the story of a haunted man. Atmospheric, lyrical, and brilliantly written, it will haunt the reader for a long time.

King Peggy: An American Secretary, Her Royal Destiny, and the Inspiring Story of How She Changed an African Village
by Bartels, Peggielene and Eleanor Herman
B Bartels, Peggielene BAR
In August 2008, on the cusp of the Presidential election for what would be the first Black President of the United States, Peggielene Bartels receives a phone call at 4am that changes her life. She is told that she has been selected to be the next King of Otuam, a small village on the western coast of Africa near the Atlantic Ocean. A list was drafted with 25 possible candidate names to become the successor to the throne. The successor had to be related to the former King, have characteristics of a great king and be approved through a sacred ritual of pouring libations to ensure that the chosen candidate was not only approved by the Council of Elders but also approved by ancestor spirits. Peggy possessed both relationship and characteristics of a king. She was unanimously approved by the ancestor spirits.
Peggy is beside herself with excitement and doubt. After all, she already has a job as the Secretary to the Ghana embassy in Washington D.C. How would she figure out how to be King of an African Village?
This book shares the journey that Peggielene Bartels encounters on her road to becoming King of Otuam. She chronicles many challenges such as learning the workings of being a king, working with her stubborn, chauvinistic Council of Elders, figuring out how to obtain running water, healthcare and education to make Otuam a sustainable and economically sound village, and finding out the mystery behind the former king's death. This is King Peggy's inspiring story of hard work and dedication to the people of Otuam and her goal to make Otuam a respected village in Ghana.

Quirkology : How We Discover the Big Truths in Small Things
by Wiseman, Richard
What is the best pick-up line? What's the world's funniest joke? Or, for that matter, what makes a joke funny to some people but not others? What kinds of drivers are most apt to break the law? Do cities with fast walkers have more crime? What causes the hairs on the back of your neck to raise when you're in a spooky setting? What kinds of people take more than 10 items through the express lane at the supermarket? Believe it or not, there are quite a few scientists who study these questions and more, coming up with ingenious ways to research and quantify their findings. Quirkology doesn't pretend to be a comprehensive psychological study, but it does have a lot of fun examining the various quirks that make us who we are. Wiseman is a Professor of Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire in England. He's also a practicing magician. Perhaps a strange career combination, but who better to peek behind the smoke and mirrors of the self we present to the world, to discover the magic of who we really are?

The Best Film You've Never Seen: 35 Directors Champion the Forgotten or Critically Savaged Movies They Love
by Elder, Robert K.
"Movie Lover" has a different connotation for everyone. It means just that: a cineaste: a film enthusiast. For others it is something rather highbrow, requiring the ability to read subtitles and interpret Ingmar Bergman or enjoy only the tortured filmic outcries of obscurant and little appreciated artistes. This is not a book for that bunch. It is rather a book for the hardcore lover of the craft's prime focus: to entertain.
Robert Elder interviews 35 directors to learn the unappreciated (or flatly disliked) movies that they love and why. Here you will find nuggets of brilliance such as Ugetsu (1953), directed by Kenji Mizoguchi and beloved of Kimberly Peirce who directed the devastating Boys Don't Cry (1999). There are disturbing picks, such as The Swimmer (1968) by Frank Perry and an uncredited Sydney Pollack, and starring Burt Lancaster in an unusual role, which won high praise from Alex Proyas who has directed such movies as The Crow (1994) and I, Robot (2004). And there is the weirdly wonderful, such as the great John Waters (he of Polyester (1981) and Hairspray (1988) fame) and his seemingly inexplicable love for Boom! (1968) directed by Joseph Losey and starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
The Best Film You've Never Seen will allow readers to find a director whose work they like and discover a hidden classic that will entertain in new and interesting ways.

It's freaking awesome!It's been like 4 months since I bought this tablet and so I have a pretty good idea what this tablet is good for and where it lacks. You can see the specs on the table in the description, so I am not going to waste your time writing about it. Instead, I am going to focus on my personal experience with it as a whole.

samsung Galaxy tab 750It is an awesome tablet.No comparability issues with Apple Ipad 2,and guess what flipkart has reduced the price to 30900..from 32000...thats even lower then what you get in any showroom setting.I wish i had bought it from flipkart,,,i ended up paying 3000 extra..well altogether the experience is awesome you can even connect your pendrive with the USB adapter connecter provided in the Box along with the tablet. and it does have a bluetooth sharing facility and the HI DEF video player is again a Boon.Best buy for the price being offered...

Galaxy 730 Rocks.This tablet is really good!! I bought it after a lot of thought to buy Note or S2 since I already have a Galaxy SL. After a lot of thought I bought it. I have been absolutely delighted by it from Day 1.It comes with 3.1 and a bit of a surprise was not to find the phone dialer app in it. It has the hardware to make calls only some one needs to provide the interface. Waiting for ICS update by Next Feb. 3rd party dialer apps do not work since the Phone radio is disabled or the modem interface is not present in it.

San Diego - Jim Cotter, a local artist, jeweler and owner of the J.Cotter Gallery, was asked to participate in "Put a Ring on It," an exhibition curated and hosted by the Taboo Gallery. Cotter is one of the artists to be included in this very unique show. An array of styles and jewelry techniques will be incorporated into the work on display.
The aritsts each bring a distinctive point of view to the table, with the format of a ring being one of the only things in common among them. Stones, gold, silver, steel and humor are among the many elements of the work in this collection. There are enough styles and ethics to appeal to its entire audience.
Cotter's rings portray the artist's recent work and point of view. A few of these rings incorporate concrete as a setting technique, which Cotter has become well-known for and accredited with pioneering.
A few of the other rings on display incorporate an altered coin, another theme in Cotter's work.
Each of these coins have been erased of everything but a depiction of a diamond and are etched "It's a diamond, right?" and "I'll get you a bigger one someday." This grouping of Cotter pieces adds elements of creativity, surprise and humor to the "Put a Ring on It" exhibit.
Cotter is accompanied by other artists on display at the J.Cotter Galleries in Vail and Beaver Creek, such as Sydney Lynch, Janice Kerman, Kristin Lora and Jeff and Susan Wise. This show will run through March 22.
To see more of Cotter's one of-a-kind wearable art jewelry, visit either one of the J. Cotter Galleries in Vail or Beaver Creek.

Ten years ago the Harry Pritchett golf course did close, but not because of lack of use. At the time it closed it was the most heavily used golf course in Tuscaloosa County. It closed because it was losing money. The University of Alabama gave an ultimatum a year earlier: operate in the black or close the course. When it was still in the red a year later, UA followed through and closed the course, but the land is still used for cross-country athletic events.

Our government was shut down and we raised our debt ceiling but we can give $1.6 billion in aid to Pakistan. What is wrong with this picture? We give this much aid to a country that hates us? Our country has lost its way.

Today we're getting close-up with Tommy Boyles. He retired several years ago after working for the city for 32 years and recently stepped down from his commission seat to run for mayor. And only on News 12, hear from a man who says that all of that experience is why he would make the best mayor.
"I think I'm approachable, I'm pretty friendly, I love people," Tommy Boyles said.
You can call him Mr. Congeniality, but Tommy Boyles is hoping that his experience will be what makes him a staple in local government.
"I think I've been there long enough through my government service that I know the areas of this city and this county," Boyles said.
After serving as a commissioner for four years, he's now hoping to take the driver's seat as mayor.
"I number one want to make our government more people friendly, I want to change the things that we do on a local level," Boyles said.
Funding the law enforcement and developing better relations between the city and the school board are also on his agenda. But he wants to start by changing the actions of the commission.
"There are written rules in there that says a person can only talk two minutes on a subject. You've had some people, including our former, acting mayor who have talked for 17,18,19 minutes on one subject," Boyles said.
But he says the idea of CSRA help Chairman Woody Merry to get the mayor to sign a behavior contract is a little farfetched.
"You don't need all of that. What I read in there is really superficial anyway," Boyles said.
But what he says the city does need is for SPLOST to pass.
"It's okay to be mad at the government. If you want to be mad at the commission, fine, do that, but don't be mad with yourself and don't past the SPLOST issue," Boyles said.
Boyles told me he has the largest Democratic following in Augusta but he says when he voted against a project sponsored by Democratic Party Chairman Lowell Greenbaum, it cost him the endorsement.
"He put his finger in my face and said I'll never vote for you for mayor," Boyles said.
But Tommy says that hasn't slowed him down because he says he's nailed down support all over.
"I'm not going after the young voters, the old voters. I'm not going after the black voters or white voters, the women or the men. I'm going after everybody," Boyles said.
But after nearly 40 years in government, what will happen if he's not victorious?
"Right now I think this will probably be my wrap up days in politics," Boyles said.
So is it a wrap or can Tommy get set for a ride at the mayor's seat? You decide.

From ArachneWiki
A repeat is a sequence that appears multiple times, identically or near-identically, within a larger sequence. An assembly object (such as a genome) that contains repeats is called repetitive or redundant. The sequence that appears repeatedly may also be termed a repeat element; the number of times a repeat element appears is called its copy number.
Repeats in WGA
Repeats pose a serious problem for Whole Genome Shotgun Assembly, especially during the overlap phase. It is impossible to distinguish between shotgun reads sequenced from different but identical-looking regions. Such reads may align to create a false overlap despite being far away from each other in the genome; this is called a repeat overlap and can easily cause misassemblies. Some genomes are so repetitive as to prohibit finding true overlaps in them, making them virtually impossible to assemble using WGA.
If a genome contains a repeat that is longer than any input reads, that repeat forms an insurmountable barrier, because it is impossible to bridge the repeat. (This is why it is so hard to make an assembly out of Solexa reads!) In an assembly with good connectivity, it may be possible to use read pairing information to bridge repetitive regions and sort out the different versions of each repeat.
In Arachne
- TagRepeatReads flags repetitive reads, storing the flags in the file reads.is_repetitive. Note that "repetitiveness", in the context of a read, means containing kmer sequences that appear often in other reads, rather than containing the same sequence many times within the same read.
Assembly process
- Assemblator treads carefully around repetitive reads, keeping them out of contig consensus.
- TagRepeats finds repetitive kmers and merges them.
- RunMarkup provides some useful information about the repetitiveness of an assembly.
- DisplaySupercontig indicates repeats visually. Reads tagged by TagRepeatReads are drawn in dark gray. Furthermore, any short region with unexpectedly high coverage, as indicated by the height of the reads drawn in, is likely to be a repeat.
- FindRepeatFamilies identifies the common ancestor of repeat families by analyzing reads.
Consensus Repeat Tagging
Even if repeats are not assembled correctly, there is still a lot of information that can be found in the contig consensus sequence:
- the approximate k-mer repetitivity
- the degree of interspersement (i.e. local repeats vs ubiquitous repeats)
- the approximate structure
- approximate identity of repeats
- sequence, that is correct enough to identify and classify repeats
Ideally, what one would like to look at is a picture that annotates the genome where sequence is repetitive, but also captures where the other copies are located in the genome. For assembly purposes, we also want to only consider perfect or at least highly identical repeats that exceed a certain minimum length.
Note: we are interested in all repeats, so we specifically do not want to mask high-copy number k-mers!
K-mer tagging
- Module: TagRepeats
To find all relevant repeats, we first extract all overlapping k-mers (48-mers, by default) in contig consensus sequence and store them in a table. Sorting this table alphabetically now allows for quick binary searches to find the multiplicity of each k-mer (forward and reverse complement).
Note: k-mer tables can get large for large genomes. By removing all unique k-mers in place before tagging, even genomes of 3.6 Gbp can be processed.
Repeat merging
Since we also store the origin of the k-mers in the table, we can now retrieve this information and store it in an array as we walk along a contig. The actual data structure that we record for each non-unique k-mer match now contains
- the start position on the current contig
- matching contig (the contig the k-mer in the table came from)
- starting position on the matching contig
- forward/reverse complement match
By sorting this list using the proper criteria, all perfect matches will be located in contiguous positions in the list, so that we can merge these to reconstruct the true length of the repeats.
Note: we do allow for single base mismatches between two perfect k-mer matches and merge these repeats into single matches. Since keeping track of all repeats can be costly, doing this helps reduce memory footprint.
Now that we have all the information about all repeats, we also want to be able to quickly look at it. DisplaySupercontig can display repeats as bars under the contig consensus spanning the repeats, where the individual bar is coler coded by matching scaffold - which makes it easier to spot longer, not completely contiguous repeats between scaffolds.
Repeat Read Tagging
- Module: TagRepeatReads
Another way which does not rely on any assembly being correct is based on examining k-mers in the read set. If more than half of the k-mers in a read have a multiplicity of 2.5 over the expected coverage, the read is declared "repetitive". In DisplaySupercontig, these reads appear in dark grey.
Repeat Families
- Module: FindRepeatFamilies
It is sometimes of interest to classify repeats in a genome into families and create a common ancestor copy. This is again done by examining the read set rather than an assembly: first, we construct a sorted k-mer table from all k-mers found in repetitive reads (the set of reads used can be specified via command line option). Then, each k-mer that appears at a multiplicity higher than a threshold, is extended to the left and right with the most popular k-mer on each side, until the popularity of extensions drops below a threshold. In order not to reconstruct the same family over and over again, we tag all used k-mers as to be off-limits for other families. NOTE: this approach will also find the rDNA and - in most ccases - the mitochondrial DNA. Blasting the families against all known organisms can quickly identify homologues in other genomes.
Why do repeats exist?
Certain nucleotide structures tend to recur in genomes because they serve biological functions. One class of biologically important repeats is Sequence motifs, such as the TATA box motif (so called because it always begins with the bases TATA) which is the initiator motif for virtually every intron in every eukaryotic genome. Telomeres are another kind of sequence motif.
Repeats may also appear in genomes due to segmental duplication, a process that may occur during genetic recombination.
Repeat Gallery
Mobile elements
One common cause of repeats, which can be found in a large variety of genomes, are transposable elements. They range from a few hundred bases (e.g. SINE) up to several thousand (e.g. transposons). Typically, isolated repeats of up to 15 kbp or more do not cause trouble for WGA as long as the flanking sequence is unique; however, clusters of mobile elements, which in some cases span several hundred thousand base pairs (which is longer than the longest insert size), can lead to situations in which the correct sequence cannot be resolved. Also, due to the high copy count of mobile elements, it is not guaranteed that Arachne was able to even detect all overlaps between reads from these regions (Arachne imposes a cutoff to mask extremely popular k-mers in reads when looking for overlaps between reads). In addition, it can be ambiguous as to what unique sequence flanks the repeat cluster on both sides.
Local duplications
Another common form of repeats are long duplications, typically where the copies are placed relatively close to each other. Unlike with clusters of mobile elements, we have the advantage that, most likely, all correct (and incorrect) overlaps between the reads involved are known. This makes the assembly task easier, and even perfect repeats of ~30 kbp can be resolved.
Tandem repeats
Tandem repeats (i.e. there are many adjacent copies of a single motif) are another typical repeat structure. The size of the motif can vary dramatically (from 6 bp up to several thousand) as well as the identity between the copies. Tandem repeats, if spanning long stretches, pose a major problem to Whole Genome Assembly.

Man charged with severely injuring infant
Published: Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at 5:51 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 5, 2013 at 5:51 p.m.
A Hendersonville man has been charged with felony child abuse inflicting serious physical injury involving a six-month-old child.
On Tuesday, Henderson County Sheriff's Office detectives were called to Pardee Hospital to investigate the infant's suspicious injuries, the Sheriff's Office said in a news release.
A medical evaluation determined the infant had severe head trauma and was transferred immediately to Mission Hospital in Asheville for surgery, the release says.
After further investigation and interviews, detectives charged Ryan Rohan Swaby, 25.
Swaby is being held in the Henderson County Detention Facility in lieu of $100,000.00 secured bond as the investigation continues. No further updates about the child's condition are available at this time, according to the release.
