Thanks guys. I'd really appreciate if people shared this wherever y'all post online. Social networks or other forums. This song received 1000 listens in the first 5 hours which is definitely a good sign. Let's keep up the momentum.

Racial disparities in PA increased in 50 years
Jomonna Smith listens to her children, 12-year-old Mon'Dayja and 9-year-old Mon'Dae, answer the doctor's questions about school, chores and their health. (Public Source Photo/Alexandra Kanik) by Halle Stockton (Public Source)–Jomonna Smith, a 30-year-old woman, held her last job in 2008 as a store cashier. She is a single mother of three children, making ends meet with government assistance, styling hair on the side and a bit of family help. She relies on buses to get around and pays $301 a month to live in a public housing project in Braddock, a borough southeast of Pittsburgh. But she craves more for herself and her children.

Terrence Malick's 'To the Wonder' Trailer Hits the Web
The trailer for Terrence Malick's new film, "To the Wonder," starring Ben Affleck, Javier Bardem, Rachel McAdams and Olga Kurylenko has surfaced online.
Judging by the trailer, Malick's latest is reminiscent of the philosophical "Tree of Life." The voice of Bardem, who plays a priest, can be heard ruminating on love, as the camera zooms in on Affleck with both Kurylenko and McAdams, who play his two love interests. Interspersed with those close-ups are wide-angle shots of the sky, trees and sunlight. Apart from Bardem's voice the actors don't speak, but music swells throughout the trailer.
With Affleck and Bardem up for awards for "Argo" and "Skyfall" this season, it's refreshing to catch a glimpse of them in a vastly different film. The locations are also stunning, with flashes of wheat fields and farmland, and places that bear a strong resemblance to Paris and Mont Saint-Michel at low tide.
Watch the trailer.

You're Not Just Buying the Dress …
When it came time to shop for my wedding gown, I had lots of ideas about the dress! But I was also somewhat clueless about the process. From the moment I walked into Something Blue Bridal Boutique , I felt comfortable. Kristi Dole, the owner, and the other gals made the process so much fun and completely stress free.
For convenience, I wanted to find a dress shop near my wedding location in Sarasota, Fla. Something Blue is a full-service bridal and formalwear boutique in Bradenton. Not only did they handle my fittings and alterations, but they also dressed and altered the bridal party and helped our mothers find their dresses. The boutique is truly a one-stop shop with style and charm.
To help you with your search, here are some of Kristi's thoughts on dress shopping:
What should brides minimally expect when working with a dress shop?
What makes your business different from the competition?
What motivated you to start your business? When?
How do you choose what designers and styles to carry?
How far in advance should brides purchase their gown?
How many alterations do you suggest to your brides?
I am not Something Blue 's only fan! Check out their reviews on Weddin...

Christy Rost, whose television special, "A Home for Christy Rost: Thanksgiving," has been broadcast nationally from her restored historic Breckenridge home, Swan's Nest, since 2009, comes to The Next Page Bookstore in Frisco Saturday to sign copies of her latest book and offer samples of her recipes.An extension of her Thanksgiving show concept, "Celebrating Home: A Handbook for Gracious Living" (Bright Sky Press, 2012) is a photograph-laden guide to nesting and entertaining at home. The book includes ideas on decorating, table settings, party vignettes, serving, creating warm interiors, flower arranging and recipes. Sections such as "Before Guests Arrive," "Parties - Taking Advantage of Small Spaces," "Overnight Guests" and "The Magic of Lighting" make entertaining easy, and there are more than 100 full-color photographs by award-winning photographer Rick Souders, taken at Swan's Nest. The recipes are inspired by Rost's life in Texas and the Colorado Rockies. "One of my inspirations for writing 'Celebrating Home' was a conversation I overheard in City Market's baking aisle a few years ago," Rost said. "A little girl asked her mother if she would bake a birthday cake for her, to which the mother replied, 'Honey, cakes don't turn out well at this altitude. Let's buy you a cake.' The girl's face fell; she was so disappointed. I decided then and there that my next book would feature recipes adapted for every altitude - including a divine birthday cake."Rost is recently back from the first part of her book tour, and on Dec. 11, she did an interview on Martha Stewart Radio for "Morning Living," hosted by Betsy Karetnick and Brian Kelsey. "Martha Stewart paved the way for many of us in the lifestyle arena and has shared enormously creative ideas over the years - turning everyday homemaking tasks into an art," Rost said. Her own fans appreciate what she described as her "realistic, attainable approach," "flavorful recipes that work even at high altitude" and her "focus on family, friends and home as a place of warmth, welcome, joy and peace in a setting of casual elegance." "When it comes to the holidays, we want recipes that impress, but don't take all day to make," Rost replied when asked for holiday cooking suggestions. "My Cherry Rhubarb Tart, adapted for the season by substituting fresh cranberries for the rhubarb, is a perfect example - buttery, flaking pastry that cradles a sweet/tart filling of prepared cherry pie filling mixed with fresh cranberries, a little sugar and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, topped with an easy lattice crust."The recipes are designed to work at sea level and high altitude, and many can be prepared ahead of time. Her Fillet of Beef Tenderloin from "Celebrating Home," discussed on Martha Stewart Radio, is "garnished with kosher salt, smoked sea salt flakes, freshly ground pepper mlange and a generous topping of fresh garlic." It makes for a festive Christmas dinner, and she recommends carving and serving the leftover beef on "thick-sliced rustic bread with a topping of Roasted Garlic Mayonnaise."On the decorating front, Rost advises clearing clutter so that decorations shine. "Whether home is a small log cabin, condo or spacious house, create a sense of peace and joy when decorating for Christmas," she said. "Fresh greenery, clear glass icicles or a collection of mini-frosted trees bring a wonderful sense of nature into your dcor." No-fuss decorating solutions for mountain visitors include embellishing dining room lighting fixtures with bows and "ornaments tied with ribbon and strings of beads," while "being careful to keep all decorations away from the light bulbs," Rost said. Her book tour resumes in early 2013 and runs through fall, including a culinary cruise from Rome to Monte Carlo in October, hosted by the author, aboard Regent Seven Seas' Voyager. After that is a new national television series for American Public Television, "At Home with Christy Rost," now in pre-production. "'Celebrating Home' is the book my readers and television viewers have asked me to write," said Rost. Additional recipes, entertaining ideas and her blog, "Notes From Swan's Nest," are available online at www.christyrost.com.Info & blog: www.christyrost.com

The second day we got up early again in hopes of scoring a spot in the North lot again. No such luck. We parked in the South lot beside a scalper who wasn't having much luck. Buses didn't seem to be running yet (at 11 AM), so we walked to the North lot. Nice walk. Took about an hour. The North lot looked like a refugee camp that had just gotten a donation from The North Face. We parked on the hillside close to the venue to eat lunch and read for the afternoon. Buses started running steadily between the lots by 1 PM. When the gates opened around five a lot of people were ready to go in. Contrary to rumors, they did check and rip tickets. More people crowded in long before the show started than the day before.
I don't know what was missing from the first set. There was lots of stuff from Rift. Even the songs that could have really taken off didn't entirely. I actually took out my contacts during Antelope, which would normally be physically impossible because I'd be involuntarily dancing so hard. There was a large inflatable moose being tossed around towards the front. During If I Could (after a toss perfectly synchronized with the "flipping backwards through the doors and through the windows" line), one last toss had it land in perfect sitting position, facing the audience, on Page's side of the stage. The feat got more applause from the audience than the music did. My significant other liked the Maze jam a lot, though he usually isn't into it. Strange Design can be amazing as a return to reality after a really crazy jam (see 6/26/95 SPAC and 7/1/95 Great Woods), but there was no energy in need of releasing this time. Free is still a great song, but again it didn't reach its full potential. All in all, an example of why one should not judge the quality of a set based on the number of songs played. (Eleven, by the way.)
I spent setbreak trying to convince people that there really wasn't more room somewhere up front.
I don't know what happened between sets, but somehow everything cut loose in the second set. It didn't hurt to start with Timber Ho. In all honesty, it wasn't the musical peak of the set, but I think it started a trend of risk-taking that paid off big in the later jams. Timber Ho was followed by the high-hat that signals David Bowie, with a long, spacey introduction. The jam headed out fast. Trey teased Bathtub Gin, and they played briefly with the theme before moving on to other unexplored themes. The jam had a lot of variety to it: different drum beats, different playing styles. It got far outside the Bowie theme without ever getting lost in itself (the hazard of spacey jams). It segued into a rocking Johnny B. Goode, which segued back into improvisational mystery land. There were a lot of teases in here, I think, but I didn't identify them. Then again, they may have been entirely new riffs. Eventually the jam returned to David Bowie and ended. The AC/DC Bag that followed picked up the jamming ball. It was a more experimental (for lack of a good word) AC/DC Bag than I've heard before. It segued into Lizards. Suddenly, at the beginning of one of the verses, only Page (and Mike?) are singing. Trey tried to pull it together, but the words just weren't there. Fishman cracked a joke, and Trey responded by starting Big Black Furry Creature from Mars. What a tension release! Instead of flinging his guitar around, Trey picked up a very large doll that someone had thrown on stage and flung it around, then grabbed a cup and threw some water out onto the audience (which looked wild with the strobes going), then threw some pasta (?) onto the audience as well. Phew. When BBFCFM ended, they started up A Day in the Life, which stop/start-fast-segued into Possum. Possum was again on fire, and contained another Bathtub Gin tease. Squirming Coil ended the set with more composing from Page. Simple was a perfect encore. This one was pure celebration: this is what we love to do and we're doing it! And to finish the tour, they came out front to sing us Amazing Grace. I'm surprised they didn't collapse into a group giggle fit before this started. The audience was rowdy. After several attempts on the pitch pipe, Page turned and threw it to the audience. Trey threw something small, as well. I thought Fishman was going to throw the crowd his dress. Trey mocked throwing Fishman to the crowd. Finally the crowd and the band started to settle down and they sang nicely, almost in tune most of the time.
Waterloo by ABBA was the immediate post-show music a request to keep everyone's sense of humor while waiting for the buses? In the lot, the DJ kept the bus-waiting crowd calm and partying at the same time, or at least it sounded like he was trying. The disco bus provided a party lower in the lot. The stars were out and it was chilly, so we decided to walk back to the South lot. I think a lot of people who did the walk weren't too keen on it, but I preferred the stars and the exercise to the hour spent sitting in the Great Woods parking lot two nights before. We got home at 2 AM only an hour later than we got in at Great Woods (and the post-lot drive was forty-five minutes longer).
Amazing four nights. I was struck by how consistently good these guys are. I mean, my mood creates much more variation in my show experience than the playing does. I have more off nights just listening than they do playing. I just hope that irresponsible fools don't destroy my chance to continue hearing this stuff. I don't think Phish should return to Sugarbush, not because it is a logistically hellish venue, but because security is impossible to enforce (without causing traffic jams or resorting to the kind of violent crowd control that many of us came to Vermont to avoid dealing with). I am very afraid of what rumors of mellow, successful gate crashing will lead to next time. Unfortunately, patience and a sense of humor can only go so far in keeping a crowd from getting out of hand.

Dunaj resigns as Torrington football coach
After a five-year tenure and a respectable 30-21 record, Dan Dunaj has stepped down as the Torrington High football coach for personal reasons.
Dunaj, who will turn 41 Sunday, submitted his resignation to the Torrington Board of Education before the Christmas vacation, but didn't tell the players until Wednesday.
After a 2-4 start last fall, Dunaj led the Red Raiders to four straight wins and finished at 6-4.
Dunaj has a 9-year-old daughter, and he and his wife have another baby due in February. He's in his third year as a physical education teacher at Torrington High, where he will remain.
"This is the second time around," said Dunaj of being a father. "The first time I was living and coaching in Seymour, but now I drive 45 minutes each way. (The commute is) more of a burden, and after 17 years of coaching, taking a break would probably be OK."
Dunaj was Paul Sponheimer's defensive coordinator before being hired in Torrington. Prior to his hiring, Torrington went 8-22 in the previous three years.
"I feel very fortunate that Newell Porch (former Torrington athletic director) hired me and gave me a shot," said Dunaj, who didn't rule out making a return to the sidelines at some point down the road.
"I don't think I am done altogether, but right now everything is put on hold," said Dunaj.
Two outside agencies continue to investigate a
See DUNAJ, Page 4C
hazing incident involving four varsity football players, according to Torrington Schools Superintendent Cheryl F. Kloczko.
Kloczko said she could not say who is conducting the investigations. On Oct. 17, the superintendent told the Board of Education that two outside investigators were looking into a Sept. 25 hazing incident on the football team.
Two other Naugatuck Valley League schools, Naugatuck and Wilby, still have yet to name permanent head football coachs. Shawn Kuczenski at Naugatuck and Gino Capuano at Wilby hold the positions on an interim basis.
Sources at Naugatuck say that four interviews, culled from about 15 applicants, will be conducted next week.
There has been a revolving door among head football coaches in the NVL in recent years. Sacred Heart named Cortez Johnson last spring, the school's third head coach in six seasons.
Wolcott's Jason Pace and Crosby's David Jurewicz just completed their second seasons. Derby's George French and Watertown's Mike Veronneau just finshed their third seasons while Mike Giampetruzzi of Holy Cross and Tom Lennon of Seymour just completed their fourth seasons.
The longest tenured coaches in the league now are Kennedy's Chris Sarlo and St. Paul's Jude Kelly. Both completed their eighth seasons, while Tom Brockett of Ansonia will enter his eighth in 2013.

" Torrington hired Dunaj in 2008, because they believed he would bring accountability to the program. After what transpired in 2012, it's obvious there was a lack of control over the players on Dunaj's behalf. Kids are supposed to learn about more than just Football. "
Paul wrote on Jan 4, 2013 11:41 AM:
" Lets be up front here, Dunaj and his staff are being forced out of Torrington by a group of unhappy parents. A senior, who loses his job to a freshman, decides to bully the kid in the locker room to be a tough guy, drags a couple other players into it and it becomes hazing. The players get suspended for 2 games and the coaches eventually get fired, is this fair. Did Dunaj haze the kid himself, no, did Dunaj tell his players to haze the kid, no. None of the coaching staff even knew this was occurring, some of them weren't even on school grounds, yet they lose their jobs, why, because in todays society its never the kids fault. Lets not hold the 17 and 18 years old responsible for their actions, lets hold their hands and tell them its not their fault. I understand its a coaches job to keep order, but a coach is not a babysitter. There are 50+ athletes on the team, he can't watch everything that happens. So in the end the coach takes the fall, the players walk away basically scott free, the angry parents get what they want, and the woosification of America continues. Great job Torrington, now you can go back to being a 2-8 football team whose only tickets are sold so people can watch the band. "
Walter Lewis wrote on Jan 4, 2013 12:31 PM:
" Any hazing going on in the locker room falls on the players and their parents.In Torrington Parents prefer to complain and blame everyone but their self and the kids they are bring up. Coach Dunaj teaches accountability, he never encouraged these knuckle head acts. I know more than anyone these kids were punished.These kids were hard headed poor listeners and not committed to excellence. Our society doesn't make a bunch of teenage kids responsible. These are young men in the making their stupidity doesn't fall on the coaching it needs to fall on the parents. "
Rick wrote on Jan 4, 2013 2:03 PM:
" Torrington's administration proved to have no spine here. Rather than stand behind a group of committed coaches, Torrington's powers that be decided to can them. Why bother sticking up for the football coaches? Even if they're right, it's a lot easier to give the parents what they want and take the heat off their own behinds.
Dunaj did a lot of good things with the football team. His coaches were passionate, committed, and organized. What they lacked was support from the community at large. Hard to win games when parents are frequently writing letters to the Superintendent about the Football Coaches. None of the parents noticed that Dunaj and his staff brought positive attention to the program. They just did people have done in Torrington for a very long time; POINT THE FINGER! Great job parents, hope you realize what you did. Knowing WHO YOU ARE, it's a safe to say you're to ignorant to admit you're wrong. "
In the know wrote on Jan 4, 2013 4:44 PM:
" Let me see if I understand this. He wasn't involved or reprimanded by anyone and they decide to back door deal it? Shame. I'm sure parents aren't happy with all coaches at some point but was he that bad. I know him very well. He's a stand up guy. Have any of you naysayers ever sit down and actually talk to him. Well I guess it's easier to write anonymous letters and make blog comments. He will land on his feet. People should look more at what was accomplished over the last 5 years compared to years since Kazzy left. "
Rudy wrote on Jan 4, 2013 9:25 PM:
" Really Jaffe, where does the hazing allegations come into Play in this article? Your articles are so ridiculous, I don't know why I read them. "
tom buzzi wrote on Mar 29, 2013 2:38 AM:
" I know coach Dunaj, he is a great guy and he was a great coach. if he resigned on his own accord thats fine. but if he resigned because of the incident then thats kind of annoying because hazing happens and you should know that if your on a football team. parents should stop complaining about everything and making there kids into wimps. stuff happens in life get over it. I know more than most because i was on the team, those kids were punished with lots and lots of running. Coach Dunaj was a great coach and I consider him a friend. "

Definition of probate in English:
- Finally there were courts administering family and probate matters, which had inherited their jurisdiction from the ecclesiastical courts, and the Court of Admiralty.
- I do not accept that a rate ascertained in that way is a fair measure for a solicitor's hourly rate in dealing with a quite complicated probate matter.
- A $20 million scam that involved a forged grant of administration from the High Court probate office has been reported to the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation.
- There will be workshops each day and talks on a variety of subjects, including how to research your family history online, how to use the Census, service records, wills and probates.
- Oddly, the reply refers to only 12 probates from San Francisco, in contrast to the 'few hundred' he claimed to have examined when Seckora interviewed him.
- Hood draws upon probates, tax records, account books, newspaper ads, tax records and other government records in a study that contributes to social and family history as well as economic history and the history of technology.
verb[with object] North American
- You will either need to conduct a normal probate, commonly known as an independent administration, or you might be able to conduct a simplified form of probate called probating the will as a muniment of title.
- For instance, one or both of your parents' estates may need to be probated, estate and inheritance taxes may need to be paid, the property may be subject to a mortgage, there may be title issues, or your brother may have a judgment against him.
- However, when a will is probated as a muniment of title, inventories are not filed.
Late Middle English: from Latin probatum 'something proved', neuter past participle of probare 'to test, prove'.
proof from Middle English:
This came via Old French proeve from Latin probare, 'to test or prove'. Proof spirit or 100 per cent proof spirit was originally defined as a solution of alcohol that will ignite when mixed with gunpowder—in Britain this meant an alcohol content of 57.07 per cent. In the expression the proof of the pudding is in the eating, proof is used in the sense 'test' rather than 'verification, proving to be true'. Probare is also the source of prove (Middle English), probe (Late Middle English), probate (Late Middle English) where you have to prove the will in law, and probation (Late Middle English) which is a form of testing.

Tried almost all wysiwyg editors and found Sandvox clearly best for my purposes. Simple , easy and fast.
Sandvox is truly remarkable, and whatâs more thereâs unlimited time to play with the software before any money exchanges hands. Incredible value for money and a truly professional company who responds promptly to every email I send. Thanks also to the people at Sandvox for recommending âA2Hostingâ. I was so nervous when the moment came to send the files. As a novice, it was hard to believe that the site would go up without a hitch, but it did. Do check it out: http://www.barryjwale.com
I was especially pleased about the many video clips that Iâve uploaded. They are very fast and the quality superb. To tweak any part of my site is so easy as well. It takes seconds to upload the changes and itâs becoming rather addictive - I canât stop tinkering with the web pages! Pathetic eh?
I made the switch to Sandvox after I upgraded RapidWeaver and lost two websites due to all of the bugs! Not quite as powerful as RW, but much more reliable, and still creates slick, professional-looking websites. I now use this for my church and school websites-it does everything I need and more. Great for beginners or the experienced webmaster.
Too many times designers forgot what good websites are all about. It isn't about flashiness or expensive graphic design. It's about putting the information the customer wants coherently in front of them. Sandvox gets you there fast. I used Sandvox pro to redo our simple website/online catalog (the ecommerce portion is in ProductCart). It works well, lives nicely on my .asp server, and gets the job done quickly --important because my primary role is not designing websites.
I have struggled with iWeb for a while when trying to do a little bit more with a website. Recently, when putting a site together for our Church I found the range of designs and options a bit limited. Also, with the Church already having a hosting agreement, trying to convince iWeb to upload to their host was impossible.
I tried out Sandvox and found that the range of designs was a lot better, that it was just as easy, if not easier, to create and maintain the site and uploading to virtually any host was a breeze.
Particularly nice was the little extras with Google, where you can link up with the Site Maps, analytics etc.
Sandvox is very easy to use and can produce excellent results. It's not just for the uninitiated when it comes to web development either, you can get in and edit the raw HTML if you want. I found I had to in order to put a table in to the text, but I am sure this is the sort of thing they will add in the future.
This is one of the slickest web site creation apps I have seen. It is well designed and some easy as heck GUI. I have Rapidweaver, and although it has more features and customization tools, you just cant beat the simplicity of Sandvox. I am really considering buying this app. What a great way to get a basic site up and running in no time.
In my opinion Sandvox is the tool to setup webpages which shall look good but where you
don't want to fiddle with the nitty gritty details like CSS and pixel-precise image placement.
The construction of web sites is simple and intuitive, it took me only some minutes to prepare
and upload my first site with a nice gallery!
The Tech Support is excellent, the removal of bugs is fast!
I agree. RapidWeaver is what iWeb should have been, and is more useful for most webmasters than any of the "pro" web design software.
If you're looking for a little more power, you should check out RapidWeaver:

El Cerrito High football star Marcellus Pippins signed a letter of intent with Washington State late Wednesday afternoon.
"When I took my trip, I really felt that it was the right place to be," said the 5-foot-10, 175-pound Pippins, who said Washington State is looking for him to play cornerback and special teams. "I talked with my mom and dad about it, and they said it would be a better fit for me."
Pippins had orally committed to Utah in October, but decided to take a trip to Washington State on Jan. 25.
"Why not take another one to see if I was making the right decision," said Pippins about his reasoning for the trip. "What really attracted me was the people at the school, the players. ... It felt like a college town. It's a growing program, so I felt like a great contributor there."
Another attraction was the chance to play college basketball for the Cougars.
"(Coach Mike Leach) said that as long as I could balance it out with football and school, I could try out," Pippins said.
Pippins also said that Utah asked him to gray-shirt after he came back from the trip. "I didn't like that too much," Pippins said. He said that he de-committed from Utah last week and committed to Washington State on Saturday.
Pippins was a first-team all-East Bay selection at defensive back last season.

Before Home Economics was standard fare on the Northern Ireland curriculum, there was Domestic Science. Other than Physical Education, which I skillfully avoided with a note from my mother saying I "had cramps," Domestic Science was my least favorite subject in school.
It involved the planning of meals, cooking, baking, and, for a brief period, knitting. There was even some sewing, during which I learned how to finish the edges of something, presumably a blanket, with blanket stitch. I vaguely recall stitching the six letters of my name in green thread on a red and white checkered apron and wondering why I hadn't been christened, simply, "Eve."
In the beginning, there were no boys in Domestic Science, nor were there any girls in Woodwork, Metalwork, or the rather exotic-sounding Technical Studies. Unbeknownst to me, however, there were some people who saw the fundamental unfairness of this situation. Apparently they had some clout too, because along came The Sex Discrimination (Northern Ireland) Order of 1976 which made unlawful the inequality of access for boys and girls to all areas of the curriculum. Landmark legislation, it enabled boys and girls in the same classroom, to partake of Craft, Design, and Technology (CDT), although it would be another 14 years before a National Curriculum would be implemented. For me, the "craft" component of both Domestic Science and CDT remained elusive. To be honest, two thirds of the latter course would have been beyond me unless the "craft" entailed extra-curricular knitting, which my mother would have done for me, bailing me out as she had done in Domestic Science when I had to knit purple slippers. Seriously.
In a classic case of putting the cart before the horse, my country was investigating ways in which to make Domestic Science and Technical Studies curricula more gender-neutral while at the same time segregating its children. Catholics and Protestants were educated in separate schools in often bitterly divided communities, until finally, a small group of Belfast parents dared to change the course of history, to force the issue, to confront aloud what happens to the heart of a country and the identity of its children when they are educated in segregated schools.
Ordinary Catholics and Protestants, we already knew what happened. It was time for change, to demand an answer to questions such as those asked in 1957 by Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Lester Bowles Pearson:
"How can there be peace without people understanding each other, and how can this be if they don't know each other?"
There is no better place to learn about one another, to learn about humanity, than in the safety of a classroom. As I began my undergraduate degree in Education, in 1981, Lagan College became the first integrated secondary school in Northern Ireland to offer such a space for boys and girls, Catholics and Protestants. On the first day of school, under armed guard, Lagan College opened its doors to 28 children.
It is different today. According to the school's website over 1,260 students are enrolled with a staff of 135. Together, a thousand families are committed to building a lasting peace in Northern Ireland.
Now a 21st century school, Lagan College's curriculum includes Home Economics, the central focus of which is "the consideration of the home and family in relation to the development of the individual and society and is designed to enable students to acquire the knowledge and skills to improve the quality of life for themselves and others. During the three years, they will address the areas of Diet and Health, Family Life and Choice and Management of Resources, using a variety of teaching and learning techniques." That sounds infinitely more important, relevant, and doable than the Domestic Science of my youth, which leads me back to where I started...
The one thing I retained from my spell in Domestic Science was the textbook, the Hamlyn All Colour Cook Book. A dust collector these days, it is of little practical use with its metric measurements and its courgettes instead of zucchinis, its turnip instead of rutabaga, but I cannot bear to part with it.
I remembered my mother and I poring over the pictures in the Hamlyn cookbook when it was brand new, ma delighted to find so many cakes and sweets she already knew how to make, without as much as a precise measurement, let alone a "method" like the one we had to write out in fountain pen in our Domestic Science notebooks.
When my brother and I were very young, my mother did not go out to work, and Friday was Baking Day. Like her mother before her, she did not measure, but she somehow timed everything so that by the end of the day, before our father came home from work, the square biscuit tins left over from Christmas and assorted Tupperware containers were lined with greaseproof paper and filled to their brims with caramel fingers, melting moments, fudge cakes, shortbread, and butterfly buns. For Sunday dessert, there was always a choice of apple or rhubarb tart, Pavlova, Trifle, a Victoria Sponge, or a Swiss Roll. Honestly, I am surprised we still have teeth. Most nights, before we went to bed, there was a cup of tea and a bun or a piece of fruit cake. So much for Oprah's doctor Bob Greene who insists that eating after 7PM is what makes us fat...

Baltic biotech attracts investors
17.09.2012 - The very first Life Science Baltics 2012 attracted twice as many visitors than anticipated. Investors are lured by EU funds, low cost and qualified staff.
The very first Life Science Baltics conference almost 800 life science professionals visiting Vilnius. "That's almost twice than we expected", Jelena Suchodumceva, Senior Project Manager at Enterprise Lithuania, told EuroBiotechNews at the conference. According to the organisers from the governmental agency, more than 80% of the attendants came from non-Baltic states such as Israel, Canada, the US or EU member states. A trade fair showcasing the offerings of more than 40 companies and over 100 pre-scheduled B2B meetings reflected the huge interest to invest in the Baltic scene.
At the conference, ThermoFisher Scientific stated it will inaugurate a €16m research and production facility next week on the grounds of former Lithuanian Fermantas AB. Furthermore, Biotechpharma UAB received an €11m cash injection from EU structural funds. The money helped the Lithuanian CMO to build a state-of-the-art biopharmaceutical facility, which will become fully operational next year at Santara Valley, a brand-new life sciences-IT incubator in the country's capital. The cluster is one of 5 high-tech valleys supported by the Lithuanian government with investments of €400m.
Prof. Dr. Vladas Bumelis, Chairman of Biotechpharma and Lithuanian biotech mastermind, said at the conference that investors are attracted by the strong knowledge base, low cost of goods and the governmental commitment to support the life sciences sector. To become a big fish within the life science scene, however, it would be essential for the many but small firms in the Baltic region to swim in formation. According to Enterprise Lithuania, the country's life sciences industry has been skyrocketing over the last two decades with an annual growth rate of 22%, and over 80% of the production being exported. Last year, exports from the life sciences sector amounted to €276.2m. Its main export markets were Sweden (21.1% of the total); Germany (10.9%); Italy (8.1%); UK (6.%); Denmark (6.7%); Russia (4.7%); Norway (4.6%); Poland (4.3%); France (4%); and Latvia (2.7%).

Former West standout gets first college tournament title
Published: Monday, February 4, 2013 at 9:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 4, 2013 at 9:14 p.m.
Former West Henderson High wrestling standout Brandon Harrison reached a milestone over the weekend at the Newberry Open in Newberry, S.C., by winning his first title at a collegiate tournament.
"He had an extraordinary weekend," his father, Bill Harrison, said. "He finally got his first college tournament title, and as a father, it was definitely one of the proudest moments of my life."
For Brandon Harrison, now a sophomore at Limestone College, the biggest win came in the semifinals against UT Chattanooga's Campbell Lewis.
"This Lewis kid was a four-time Tennessee state champion in high school," Bill Harrison said. "Brandon had one of the best matches of his life. He put together a complete match from start to finish and got the 9-5 decision win."
That put him in the championship match in the 125-pound weight class, and it also ended up giving him the title.
"The kid he was supposed to wrestle from Appalachian State got hurt in the semifinals and had to have stitches in his head. That gave Brandon the title by medical default," Bill Harrison said.
Prior to that, Brandon Harris defeated Newberry's Ethan Nobles by major decision in the first round and Anderson's Gregory Williams by a 40-second pin in the second.
By winning the title, Brandon Harrison, who was the 2010 Times-News Wrestler of the Year after going 42-2 his senior year, has earned the starting spot for the 125 class for Limestone.
Up next for the Harrison and the Spartans is a trip to his old college, UNC Pembroke. The match begins at 7 p.m. tonight.
"There's a little bit of motivation there. He's looking forward to it," Bill Harrison said.

Captain & Tennille are breaking up.
How can this happen? I no longer recognize this world we live in.
Indeed -- 71-year-old Daryl "Captain" Dragon and 73-year-old Toni Tennille are going their separate ways, after nearly 40 years of marriage.
Go ahead and say it -- Love no longer can keep them together.
According to ABC News, Tennille filed for divorce Jan. 16.
Dragon reportedly told TMZ on Wednesday that he was blindsided by the filing.
"I don't know why she filed," TMZ quoted Dragon as saying, adding that they are still living together. "I gotta figure it out for myself first."
She must have been -- wait for it -- shopping around.
Dragon and Tennille toured with the Beach Boys, as keyboardists, in the '70s. They later began touring as a duo, and released their first album, "Love Will Keep Us Together" in 1975. Some of their hit tracks include: "Do That To Me One More Time," "Muskrat Love," a cover of the Miracles' hit "You Better Shop Around" and "The Way I Want To Touch You."
Reportedly, a neurological disorder has prevented Dragon from playing music as well as he once had in recent years.
"(His condition) causes him to have tremors ... pretty severe at times," Tennille blogged in 2010. "Some days he does pretty well ... other days his playing is severely compromised."

OAKLAND -- When Warriors coach Mark Jackson parked at Oracle Arena, he noticed point guard Stephen Curry was right behind him.
"I don't think it was a coincidence," Jackson said. "Almost like he was waiting in his car for me to pull up."
Curry has been desperate to get back on the court after a seven-month absence caused by an injured right ankle. His wait ended Monday against the Utah Jazz in the Warriors' second exhibition game. Curry totaled six assists to go with two points and two rebounds in 12 minutes, all in the first half, of the Warriors' 83-80 victory.
More important, he didn't appear limited. Jackson had limited Curry's participation in the first three days of training camp and held him out of the exhibition opener against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday in Fresno.
"It feels all right," said Curry of his ankle, adding that it felt great until he got tired. "It's a little sore, but that's to be expected. See how it feels tomorrow and then we'll assess Thursday's game. Hopefully I can play a lot more."
Monday's outing by Curry also kicked off a new era in Golden State basketball as, entering his fourth season, he is now the unquestioned team leader.
"He's ready," Klay Thompson, Curry's backcourt mate, said before Monday's tipoff. "He's worked hard for this."
With Curry back, the Warriors had three quarters of their core in action -- joining Thompson and power forward David Lee, who finished with 19 points, 14 rebounds and five assists. All that's missing now is starting center Andrew Bogut, still recovering from left ankle surgery. (Jackson has yet to decide on his starting small forward.)
But before Curry can lead this team, he has something to prove. Everyone is waiting to see how his right ankle, which kept him out 40 games last season, holds up.
So far, so good.
For the most part Monday, he operated as a facilitator, setting up teammates and moving the ball. But his activity on the defensive end, perhaps the biggest concern for his troublesome ankle, didn't yield any concerning movements. He fought over screens. He lunged for steals. He leapt recklessly for rebounds.
With just over three minutes left in the second quarter, he opted to create for himself. After dribbling at the right wing, sizing up Utah guard Jamaal Tinsley, Curry drove hard right. He then spun back to the middle, pivoting on that right foot, and netted a turnaround 18-footer.
It proved to be a mild, efficient return to action. Jackson said he was concerned Curry, so excited to be back on the court, would be too wound up. Curry said, surprisingly, he was able to take a pregame nap. But even he expected to be high on the adrenaline when he heard his name called for the starting lineup.
"I might cry," he joked.
It seemed conditioning was more of a problem than his ankle. Just before Curry checked out for good in the second quarter, he was bent over with both hands on his knees. Of course, for someone who hasn't played an NBA game since March 10, that could be expected.
"I was a player before, and I don't know if there is anything you can do about that," Jackson said before the game.

OAKLAND -- There's only one place in Oakland where you can get organic baby chard and Spam on the same menu.
Mama's Royal Cafe is tucked away in a one-story shop front on Broadway, but ask any longtime local and they'll know where it is. The restaurant, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary this month, is a true home away from home, not only for the customers, but the employees.
"It feels like home to me and I think it does for a lot of people," said owner George Marino.
The restaurant was started in 1974 by Marino and a group of friends, with the aim of serving a fresh, locally sourced breakfast. Marino said that when they started the restaurant, most of the other breakfast places in town were focused on staying cheap. But eventually, unable to compete against chains like Denny's, they all closed.
"Breakfast is a big thing now, but it wasn't a big thing back then," Marino said.
But Mama's was a little different. Though eating local has long since become a trend, Mama's menu is still full of regular American breakfast food like pancakes and omelets, served without pretension seven days a week in its charming, homey space. The eggs are from Petaluma, the meats are Niman Ranch and Fulton Valley, and the bread is Acme. Marino also shops himself at Berkeley Bowl twice a week for seasonal specials.
"I want to pick out the berries," he said.
Marino and his partners opened up Mama's in a former Chinese restaurant. At the time, they couldn't afford to fix up the kitchen or the dining area, which is why there are still Chinoiserie touches over the faded orange countertop. A few things have changed -- the coffee is no longer 30 cents and a sandwich that was $3.50 is now almost $13. But it's still full of the personal touches that give Mama's its atmosphere, like the wobbly, often-repaired counter stools, the collection of vintage radios or Marino's inclusion of Spam on the menu -- a wink to the famous sketch by British comedy group Monty Python.
On one of the walls is a selection of waitress Sherry Jean Cooper's apron collection of which she says she has more than 1,000. Cooper, who calls herself "Sherry Jean the waitress machine" in a sly drawl, has been working there for 34 years and is known to all the regulars. "They cry when I'm not there," she said.
And Cooper is just one of the many longtime employees. Linda Lyon-Wright has been working there for 16 years and calls Mama's a second home.
"This is the only place in the world where I'll work," she said.
It's family for her in more than one sense. Nick, her son, has also been working there for three years alongside his mother, and he's just as comfortable there.
"This is definitely my favorite job that I've ever had," he said.
Manager Ric Cole said that kind of employee loyalty is rare in the industry, because what inspires it is rare. Marino gives his employees benefits, including paid vacation and a pension plan.
"That's extremely unusual for a restaurant." Cole said. "I've worked in a lot of restaurants."
And then there's the food. For customers like Nore Bluitt, who was sitting at the counter with an egg white scramble and a mimosa, it's the menu that calls her back. She's been bringing friends here for more than 10 years.
"I'm like, 'Let's go to Mama's Royal.' We know we're going to be happy with our food," she said.
But for other diners, it's something more. Pam Ong, a private chef, has been coming to Mama's on and off for 30 years for what she calls "comfort food," like the Croque Madame on a giant piece of Acme toast.
"For lack of a better word, it's the 'love' put into the food," she said.
To celebrate the restaurant's anniversary this week, Marino has surprises planned -- like days where he'll surprise every 40th guest by picking up the check and handing them a free T-shirt and mug. Also coming up is the 32nd annual napkin art contest, an offshoot of the creative customers Mama's drew in from the very start. There are cash prizes and free meals for the best art, but even better than that, there's recognition, as Marino displays each year's bests -- some watercolor, some drawn, some even quilted -- on a wall.
It's these traditions that keep customers close, alongside the reminders like the posters and old, scratched wooden booths. It's what makes Mama's Royal Cafe a rarity -- and that makes sense to Marino, even though he never expected to be running Mama's 40 years later.
"Life happens -- and I'm still here," he said.

- Cheer on Die Mannschaft!
- Currently Unavailable
Mesut Ozil's second-half breakaway against England was shocking. Ozil left England's Gareth Barry in a cloud of dust before calmly setting up Thomas Muller for the fourth and final goal. At just 21 years of age, Ozil has played with poise and savvy.
This jersey pays homage to the rich history of the German national team with an elegant white strip that features thin diagonal stripes in the color of Germany's flag. The white kit boasts a classic design that recalls the home kits worn by Die Mannschaft in years past such as the team's 1980 European championship.
The ClimaCool jersey has a comfortable, subtle V-neck collar with the German team badge and adidas logo applied at front. "Deutscher Fussball Bund" is printed below the back collar.
100% polyester. Imported.

Stephen Baldwin was arrested Thursday in New York for repeated failure to file personal income tax returns, which is a felony.
That's right. The government wants its damn money.
According to Rockland County District Attorney Thomas P. Zugibe, Baldwin has failed to file returns for the years 2008, 2009, and 2010 -- and owes New York state more than $350,000 in back taxes.
Who does this guy think he is -- Wesley Snipes?
A press release on the D.A.'s website quoted Zugibe as saying, "At a time when Rockland County and New York state face severe fiscal shortfalls, we cannot afford to allow wealthy residents to break the law by cheating on their taxes."
"Wealthy?" Are we sure we have the right Baldwin?
Zugibe also said, "The defendant's repetitive failure to file returns and pay taxes over a period of several years contributes to the sweeping cutbacks and closures in local government and in our schools."
So Timmy can't read because of Stephen Baldwin?
If convicted, the "Usual Suspects" actor could face up to 4 years in prison. He's due in court in February.

New North Port official broke campaign laws
Published: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 11:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 11:01 p.m.
Newly elected City Commissioner Cheryl Cook committed a dozen financial and other violations of state law during her campaign last summer, according to the Florida Elections Commission.
It was Cook's first campaign.
The violations, which she admitted to, are unlikely to be deemed serious enough to affect her term in office or lead to criminal prosecution.
The commission's report states that Cook admitted to the errors because she had not been aware of the rules.
Cook has until April 14 to request a hearing before either the commission or an administrative law judge — or she can try to reach an agreement to pay fines for each of the 12 counts.
Charline Cristofari, a former friend of Cook who supported candidate Sam Jones in the same race, filed a complaint with the commission after reviewing Cook's campaign records.
Cristofori says that the records, which had to be amended, were "a mess."
Most of the violations regarded Cook's use of cash, instead of checks from her campaign account, in May and June to pay for a compact disc, printing, business cards, car magnets, shirts and a website.
Cook told investigators she used cash for the purchases because she had not yet received checks for her campaign account.
State law requires candidates to use petty cash only for office supplies and transportation, Jaacken A. Williams, assistant general counsel for the commission, reported.
In some cases, such as the shirts and car magnets, Cook reportedly also violated a rule that petty cash cannot be used for expenditures exceeding $100.
Cook also erred by using a money order, rather than a check, to pay her candidate qualifying fee, the commission reported.
Cristofari also complained that Cook's yard signs violated the law.
Cook reportedly admitted that she failed to put the disclosure "paid political advertising" on campaign yard signs.
After learning of the mistake, Cook later attached stickers that stated the signs were political advertising paid for and approved by her.
She sent photos of the corrected signs to the commission.
The commission also cited Cook for filing an incomplete campaign finance report in which one contributor's address was listed as "unknown" and itemized contributions and expenditures were not given required sequence numbers.
Cook did not return an email or phone message asking for comment Monday.
Cristofari said she became upset with Cook because Cook assured her she would not run against Jones.
"She split the vote," causing Jones to get knocked out of the race in a primary, Cristofari said.
Cristofari said that, after discovering the violations, she did not think it was right for "one candidate to not follow rules the others are following."
An attorney for the Florida Elections Commission said the agency does not comment about any case that is still pending and that the staff could not speculate on what fines could be imposed by the commission or a judge.

Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop I officers will again team up with law enforcement agencies in other states in the "Get Your 'Clicks' on Route 66" seat belt crackdown this Friday, Nov. 1.
The quarterly mobilization began in August 2010, with a handful of law enforcement agencies in central Oklahoma, but now has expanded to include highway patrol and local law enforcement agencies in eight states along the famed Route 66 corridor — Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California.
Drivers in a 2012 Missouri traffic crash had a one in 25 chance of being killed if they were not wearing a seat belt. In those cases where drivers wore a seat belt, their chance of being killed was one in 1,221.
"It's great to see agencies all along Route 66 working together to enforce the law in their respective states," said Captain Lee Ann H. Kenley, commanding officer of Troop I.
"During the Route 66 crackdown, we'll be reminding people that using a seat belt is not only a smart decision, it is the law," Kenley said.
