I have a Blu-ray and DVD player, but I almost never use it. For that matter, I rarely watch movies via my cable subscription. That's because I have a Roku on my family room TV, which I use to watch movies and TV shows on Netflix (NFLX), Amazon Instant Video, HBO Go and other services.
Amazon Instant Video has movies you can rent or buy, but if you subscribe to Amazon Prime (the $79-a-year service that also gets you free two-day shipping), you can watch thousands of movies and shows for free. It's like Netflix but with a smaller collection. And like Netflix, Amazon has invested in some original programming such as "Alpha House," staring John Goodman.
Call me lazy, but I recently watched a movie on Netflix that I also own on Blu-ray. The video and sound quality might have been a little better had I taken the disc out of its holder and inserted it in my Blu-ray player, but it was easier to just stream it.
It's also nice that most of these services work on a variety of devices. If I'm in a hotel room or want to view a video in bed or in my study, I can watch the same streaming channels on my laptop or my tablet. I've even been known to stream Netflix shows on my smartphone. Sure the screen is tiny, but if it's the only screen I have handy, it's better than nothing.
Many of these streaming services are based on a monthly fee with no cost per view, but sometimes I'll pay $3.99 or more to "rent" a movie on Amazon or iTunes and once in a great while I'll pay a bit more to own one, such as the copy of "It's a Wonderful Life" that we watch every year around this time. I don't actually own that movie in any tangible form but -- for $9.99 -- I have the right to stream it in high-def from Amazon as many times as I want for the rest of my life.
Roku is far from the only choice when it comes to streaming. If you own a game console, chances are that you'll be able to stream Netflix and a handful of other online channels. Same is true with some models of TiVo and some Internet-connected Blu-ray players. Last year Google (GOOG) entered the fray with its $35 Chromecast streaming device. It's a tiny plug that goes into your TV's HDMI port and is controlled through your smartphone, tablet or PC instead of a remote control. With its enormous resources, Google has the potential to transform Chromecast into a powerful platform. But so far it too has only a handful of channels, including Netflix, Hulu Plus and, of course, Google's own YouTube and Google Play movies.
With about 170 channels, Roku is by far the most versatile streaming player. And with prices starting at $39 ($49 for one that supports 1080p video), it's a good value even if it is slightly more expensive than Chromecast. The $99 version comes with a motion controller so it can also be used to play games. There are iOS and Android apps that you can use to control the Roku, but unlike the Chromecast, it comes with a remote control. Some people may consider it passé to have a separate remote, but I like that I can watch it even if my phone or tablet isn't handy or is suffering from a dead battery.
I recently signed up for a Fandor subscription and recommend it for anyone who loves independent movies. It also makes a nice last-minute gift for independent-movie lovers in your life. It's like Netflix, only focused on "shorts, indies, festival films, forgotten classics, art-house rarities," as its website explains. For those who have trouble deciding what to watch, it has the "Fandor Channel" which it describes as a "nonstop movie mixtape" of films that their curators have queued up that play all day. The service has an "Explore" feature that lets you browse through various genres, including animated, avant-garde, classic, comedy, crime, cut, silent, suspense and more.
And last week saw the debut of a new channel on Roku called Artkick. The service, according to founder Sheldon Laube, is designed to turn your HDTV into an electronic canvass that can display thousands of paintings and photographs, including collections from many of the world's leading museums. You can have a single piece of art permanently displayed (unlike older sets you don't really have to worry about burn-in with most LCD screens) or you can have them rotate. Collections include Ansel Adams photographs and paintings by Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci and many more artists. You'll need a Roku or a Samsung or Sony Internet-connect TV to view images on your TV set, but you can view them for free on the app that you can download from the Apple (AAPL) App Store or Google Play.
And, if you're feeling cold, you can always use Roku's fireplace channel to simulate a warm glow. It won't actually warm you up and it does use a little electricity, but it's OK to watch on Spare the Air days.

I would like to have a length property in the list of line entity properties (in the property editor). I want it to be editable so that if I change the length the endpoint would change to accommodate the line of the specified length in the same direction as before -- startpoint being fixed (the startpoint and endpoint can even be greyed/locked out when length is being edited); if I change the endpoint or the startpoint the length would change accordingly.
Furthermore, to have more flexibility given the above options it would be nice to be able to switch start- and end-points with a click of a button.
Thank you for consideration!

A spokesman for U.S. Rep. Alan Nunnelee said the congressman is recovering from elective heart surgery.
Jordan Russell, Nunnelee's communications director, told the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal on Tuesday that Nunnelee had successful heart valve replacement surgery on Monday. The operation was done at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.
Russell said the operation was done to correct a heart problem the 54-year-old Nunnelee has had since birth. A date for Nunnelee's return to work is not yet certain, but Russell said the Tupelo Republican anticipates being available to vote on any "fiscal cliff" issues that may come before the House in the next couple of weeks.

I'm not at home now and so I could try myDiary yet. But the interface is very nice indeed.
Will this be free when it will come out of beta? If not, what will be the price?
Please notice!
This is an beta version.
Even if it is stable - keep in mind that some bugs may occur and some features are still missing.

I just seriously started running about 3 months ago, at least 3X per week on a treadmill, usually do about 3+ miles. Usually can go about 1 to 2 miles before I need to walk a bit. But overall do not feel overly winded. Usually feel very strong when I have finished. My time is usually about 11:30 per mile so it is not like I am sprinting.
So I have recently been to two 5ks over the last 6 weeks, I am eating properly, plenty hydrated, but totally bonk before I even get to the Mile 1 marker. I realize that things are different but is there something else I am missing? Really want to at least jog the full course. Any help/advice that anyone has on creating more endurance/stamina would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Congrats on your training and welcome. The only thing I can think of is if your not changing the elevation on the treadmill. 1 to 1 1/2 degrees of up on a treadmill is prettty close to running on a flat road outside.
hopefully this helps.
It's not only about finishing, its about finishing healthy!
If you want to train to run road races, you have to run on the... ROAD. Treadmill and road running differ ever so slightly and strengthen your leg muscles in different ways. So someone who trains exclusively on a TM will have problems running the same paces on the road and vice versa. Adding elevation on a TM helps but again, you are working different muscles when you do that.
You need to incorporate some road running into your schedule. Do not try to run at the same paces, try to run at the same effort level.
I use to run a lot on TMs for marathon training so I know mixing TM and road running can work well. I did more than 50% of my mileage on TM mainly because there is less impact on my joints.
Thanks Dennis I appreciate the thoughts. I have upped the inclination and will start training at a higher elevation.
Best regards,
Thanks so much for your feedback.
Yes the reason I am running on the TM is because of shin splints and the pounding on the joints.
I agree with you though, I will try and do at least one of my runs outside to prepare for my next 5K which is at the end of June.
One last question as well for both you and Dennis. If I am running the 5k should I really be running double that in order to prepare for the race?
Thanks for the advice.
Best regards,
Slow your 3 mile pace down to where you can breathe easier and run more consrtant especially to allow you to run longer or run all the way. You set those individual goals just dont mentally limit yourself that you can only do it this way or that other way. It doesn't have to be all or NOTHING like some would suggest.
Everything JamesHong said, do both. I used to do lot's of TM in the pre marathon season to develop a base for September and on. After which I would transfer more and more miles outdoors, especially the last 2 months of all weekly long runs were run.
It also takes a long time for your body to adapt, you can easily injure yourself at this stage. Steady your anxious mind about being in so blasted a hurry. Physical health is one thing but I also see alot of mental neuroses in the running community, especially obession. RELAX dude!
Thanks. Yes I will try and relax.
Thanks DG12. I guess I was just expecting more of myself since I had been preparing for the 5ks. However, I did finish right at the time I usually do. So in essence I got what I trained for

I am not sure I understand your question. Do you mean that your long or longest run be double the 5k distance?
If that is your question then for a new runner I would say no. I recommend to err on the conservative side for new runners. While running a longer distance is better, there are higher risks of injury. For someone who has been running for a while, then yes. Once you get to the intermediate level and above it is not uncommon to have your long run up to 10 miles or longer even for 5k training.
I agree with James and the only other thing i would add is if you do decide to up your running go by the 10 percent rule,
Dont add any more then 10 percent to your distance total per week
It's not only about finishing, its about finishing healthy!
I think the treadmill is great for building cardiovascular fitness but it's not always a true analogue for running even with an incline. Running on a treadmill doesn't require you to pull your body forward so your hamstrings don't get engaged the way they would running outside. You can strengthen your hammies on the treadmill by running backwards but I think it would be easier and better to get outside at least a day or two a week.
If your joints are getting pounded you might want to evaluate your shoe choice and/or take a look at your form. Are you a hard heel striker? If so, you might want to try landing more on the ball of your foot. Take off your shoes and run for 50 feet. You'll might notice you're running a lot differently. Just something to consider.
I'll give a bit of my experience in regards to treadmill vs. outside running....
This last winter I started training for a half marathon but into my 2nd week I fell down some stairs and fractured my tailbone. Dr said "no running" and I said, "how about a compromise, I run on treadmill instead to lessen the impact". He agreed. I spent the next 12 weeks running 3-4 times a week solely on the treadmill. I set the incline to 1.5-2.0% for every run. Fast forward to April 25th and my half marathon. I was worried things would be really hard since I had not run on the road in months but I found it to be almost easier for me than the treadmill. The course itself was relatively flat and since I had been used to running at a 2% incline, it was much easier for me. I ran the entire thing with no problem at all. The key to treadmill running is to always have it set at an incline to mimic the road. To shake things up, raise and lower the incline to mimic hills.
As for burning out so quickly into your 5Ks, my guess is that you are starting off way too fast. Slow down at the start, you can always increase your speed later in the run.
Thanks so much for your story. Since I posted that I have started running the same amount but have added the incline of at least 1.5%. Will try it out and see how I do. Next race is at the end of June. We will see. I will let everyone know how it went.
Best regards,
I am actually the complete oposite . I can run 3 miles outside with ease but 1 mile on the treadmill seems hard for me . More practice outside , as for your joints run in grass or on a track that has the cushy asphault stuff.
Have not been on a treadmill since Feb. And then, I wound up burdening myself with ITBS. Treadmills are the devil. Being a triathlete it's nice because when you can't run, there are always other options.

A home in Sedamsville was damaged in a two-alarm fire Wednesday evening.
Firefighters said the fire in the 400 block of Lilienthals Street started about 10:40 p.m. Wednesday.
Initial arriving units reported heavy fire from the attic of a large two-story home and called for more firefighters.
While battling the flames, three firefighters became trapped on the second floor, but were able to escape out a second-floor window.
No injuries were reported in the fire, which caused about $50,000 in damage.
Firefighters said an unattended fireplace was the source of the flames.

When conditions are calm, the putter is nothing more than dead weight you have to drop in the basket. When the wind is up, you need to think about flight characteristics. And don't go back home when it's windy. Stay out there and tough it out. In general, when the wind is up, putt in a direct line with the basket. And be firm with your throw.
Here's how various winds affect a right-handed player. I'll start with a direct tailwind (6:00) and work around the clock counterclockwise. At 6:00, a putt will usually drop. At 5:30, with some wind under the disc, it won't drop quite as much with a slight hyzer. At 3:00 the disc will lift with hyzer. Change your spot on the post to compensate. A straighter putt will take the lift out. A 1:30 wind will lift a hyzer putt and slow the disc down. It will also push to the left. A straight putt may turn over slightly.
At 12:00 (direct headwind) a slight hyzer or flat putt will lift and turn a bit. A 10:30 wind pushes a hyzer putt down and to the right. This is where a straight putt comes in handy over a loft or hyzer putt. A 9:00 wind has more pronounced effects than a 10:30, pushing hard and down to the right. Aim to the left side of the chains and take out any swooping angles. 7:30 is my perfect wind to putt in. I loft it up and the wind will keep it down and on-line with the disc hyzering.
I think about the wind on the tee. If it's a strong wind behind me, then I try and throw short and left of the pin, playing for the left 7:30 putt. If there's a strong headwind, I'll throw extra hard and blow past the basket for a tailwind putt. That's the mentality you have to have to make putts easier.

Not every show on television can be Glee, and Grey's Anatomy proved this theory last night with their "interesting" take on the dramatic musical. Sure, many of the cast members have appeared on Broadway before, but that does not mean the trainwreck was worth the extra three minutes that screwed up your DVR last night.
Let's begin! Above is a selection of the very-first bit of the episode, where we find out that there's been a car crash—and Callie is left barely clinging to life. Here's where the writers show us that the episode is, in fact, a musical episode and we're introduced to the idea that Callie's "soul" will be our guide through this heinous sing-a-long.
Perhaps the weirdest musical number in the whole show was this little ditty. It featured Callie in a dream-state where she's still driving in a car—spliced together with every other cast member getting down and dirty with their significant others. I suppose it was a welcome break from the rest of the show, which had a somber/serious tone.
While the clip you just saw was laughable, the dramatic songs were really cringe-inducing. It was nothing short of awkward to see the actors jump right into song while trying to resuscitate one of the show's most-loved characters. Even more concerning? The seriousness that these actors are portraying while singing this pop hit from a few years back.
While watching the episode, I couldn't help but wonder how annoyed some of the cast members must have been to be partaking in what could definitely be called a "jump the shark" moment if the show hadn't already fallen off our radar years ago. More than anything, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" comes to mind. How did you feel about the episode? Feel free to weigh in below!

Braintree's Jennifer Celley shares compelling images from medical mission
RANDOLPH – Gifford Medical Center laboratory technician Jennifer Celley traveled to Haiti in June 2012 for a medical mission through the Community Health Initiative, a non-profit co-founded by Gifford Emergency Department physician Dr. Josh White.
The trip was Celley's first ever to Haiti and she didn't know what to expect. Would Caribbean island or post-earthquake rubble await? What Celley found was poverty, desperation, warmth and love.
"Before going to Haiti, I was excited yet nervous about what I was going to see," says Celley of Braintree. "I had an image in my mind of a beautiful Caribbean island covered with rubble from the earthquake two years earlier. I was unsure and as the plane took off. I felt butterflies in my stomach. 'Have I made a mistake?' 'Maybe I should go home' ran through my head.
"As the plane descended I looked out the window and saw a lush, beautiful Caribbean island and felt relief. But as the plane continued descending, I saw an island so barren you could see tires burning on the ground, and thousands and thousands of rusty tin roofs staring up at you. It was at this moment that my heart sank. It sank for these people, and I knew then that I was supposed to be on this plane. I was destined to love Haiti."
At first blush, Haiti assaults the senses. "The heat slaps you across the face," Celley recalls. "It takes your lungs a minute to breathe in the hot, humid air. It takes your nose by surprise when you smell the rotting garbage and the raw sewage."
But then there are the people – the thousands and thousands of desolate, smiling, joyful people.
"The amount of suffering that these loving, caring, happy people have to live with every day is heartbreaking, but the surprising part is how they cope with it and move forward. I did not hear anyone complain. I did not see anyone frown. I did not see one tear," Celley says.
It is these people and these experiences that Celley documented through photographs, and it is these experiences that she is now sharing with the community in hopes of making an even greater difference.
Celley's photos of her time in Haiti are in her employer, Gifford Medical Center's, art gallery from the afternoon of May 29-July 31.
Created with the help of Dr. Lou DiNicola and Shari Voghell at the Corner Frame Shop in Randolph, the pieces are for sale. All profits from the sale support Celley's effort to return to Haiti for another mission with the Community Health Initiative and directly support the organization.

German police stop man with mobile office in car
Published: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 7:06 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 7:06 a.m.
BERLIN (AP) — Forget texting while driving. German police say they nabbed a driver who had wired his Ford station wagon with an entire mobile office.
Saarland state police said Friday the 35-year-old man was pulled over for doing 130 kph (80 mph) in a 100 kph zone while passing a truck Monday.
Built on a wooden frame on his passenger seat they found a laptop on a docking station tilted for easy driver access, a printer, router, wireless internet stick, WLAN antenna, and an inverter to power it all.
A navigation system and cellphone mounted to the windshield completed the array.
Since there was no evidence he used the office while moving, he got away with a €120 ($153) speeding ticket and a possible fine for having unsecured items in his car.

Publisher's Description
The other side of brokenness
"If I could write only one book in my lifetime, I would ask God to make it this one, the very book you now hold in your hands. . . ."?Sheila Walsh
God loves broken people. And when weary, wounded men and women find a way to open their bruised hearts and somehow welcome Him into their personal darkness, they will find a love beyond anything they have ever known.
When the glass house Sheila had lived in for so many years came crashing to the ground, she began a new life outside the safety of those walls. No, it didn't feel good, nor safe?not at all. But it felt true. Sheila saw herself as a broken lamb limping after the Shepherd, not knowing where He was going, but knowing that wherever He went, she wanted to go with Him.
In twelve stirring, insightful, and deeply revealing chapters, Sheila Walsh shows how personal brokenness can open doors of intimacy with Jesus Christ that might never open in any other way.
It's not that God loves broken people more than those who imagine themselves to be whole?it's simply that they know they are loved. They dare to believe it . . . and through such trust, a new wholeness emerges from yesterday's broken pieces.
Author Bio
Sheila Walsh, Bible teacher and speaker, is the author of the award-winning Gigi, Gods Little Princess series, God Loves Broken People, The Shelter of God's Promises, and a novel, Sweet Sanctuary. Sheila lives near Dallas, Texas with her husband, Barry, and son, Christian.

It is especially geared for someone who "feels" their brokenness. And needs to know God loves them in the midst of it. "It's okay not to feel okay." Then, Sheila challenges us to allow God to transform our brokenness into ministry. I taught a women's ABF using this book. Many deep bonds between broken women were forged in the class.

She evens states that this is so important to her that if there was only one book that you read of hers, then is should be this one. Of all the book that Sheila wrote i would say that this one... If you experienced pain and suffering in your life or are going through a dark time, I would definitely recommend this book. If you're looking for a quick read or an inspiring honest book this is for you! If you are struggling with brokenness in any for, grab this!
KellyAge: 25-34Gender: female4 Stars Out Of 5Hope GivingJuly 12, 2012KellyAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 4Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4This book addresses the issues of pain and suffering and helps people to cope with the challenges that come along with these difficult situations. Using real life stories that are personal to her and those she knows, she tackles some of the hard questions people ask when things seem to go wrong. She provides perspective, hope and encouragement to those encountering trouble. There is something for everyone to gain from this book.
I found the first half of the book to be a tough slog. She kept raising all these difficult questions, but didn't give any answers or solutions or really even much hope to the reader. I ended up putting it down for a few months, then tried picking it back up again. The second half of the book was much more encouraging and gave a really good perspective on dealing with challenging circumstances and ways to find healing while strengthening our faith at the same time. If you can get through the start, the end is worth it.

Heather KingGloucester, VAAge: 25-34Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Encouragement for the BrokenJuly 4, 2012Heather KingGloucester, VAAge: 25-34Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5I was a teenager when my mom came home after attending her first Women of Faith conference in Washington, DC. She was alive again---really alive. I remember her talking about this amazing speaker named Sheila Walsh who had the guts to stand on an arena stage and tell more than ten thousand women what it was like to be broken and be a Christian. Shocking, I know.
Most Christians at the time treated fellow believers struggling with depression as less-than Christians, outcasts, clearly those "of little faith." Churches posted catch phrases on their outdoor signs like, "too blessed to be stressed." We lived in a vast religious culture of playing pretend and then Sheila Walsh told people how God had brought her from a high profile job on the 700 club to a mental hospital. But He didn't leave her there. He scooped her up like a lost little lamb lovingly lifted by her Shepherd to safety, and healing, and freedom.
In this book, Sheila delivers a message of how God doesn't just use brokenness, but how it actually draws us closer to Him and makes us better ministers of compassion to others. She draws from her own life experiences, countless Scripture accounts, classic Christian literature, and the testimonies of others to remind us that Christ Himself chose suffering, chose to be broken, for us.
Even now, all these years after my mom first heard Sheila Walsh share her testimony at Women of Faith, we Christians continually contend with those among us who think being a Christian is a free pass to happiness and personal comfort. We think somehow attending church or saying we're a Christian means we'll get to live the American dream--perfect family, perfect job, perfect health . . . just perfect. It still takes guts to be the one reminding us of what Scripture actually says---that in this world we will have trouble, but we take heart because Jesus has overcome the world.
For anyone walking through a season of brokenness or encountering trials and pain, this book offers a powerful ministry of encouragement. The book also includes group study questions in the back, making this a good choice for a women's Bible study or small group, as well. After all, sometimes it's easy to feel totally alone when we're struggling and yet the truth is---most of us have been broken, are broken or will be broken. So, ultimately this is a message to share with others.
I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions I have expressed are my own.

WASHINGTON -- U.S. banks are ending the year with their best profits since 2006 and fewer failures than at any time since the financial crisis struck in 2008. They're helping support an economy slowed by high unemployment, flat pay, sluggish manufacturing and anxious consumers.
As the economy heals from the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, more people and businesses are taking out -- and repaying -- loans.
And for the first time since 2009, banks' earnings growth is being driven by higher revenue -- a healthy trend. Banks had previously managed to boost earnings by putting aside less money for possible losses.
Signs of the industry's gains:
"We are definitely on the back end of this crisis," says Josh Siegel, chief executive of Stonecastle Partners, a firm that invests in banks.
The biggest boost for banks is the gradually strengthening economy. Employers added nearly 1.7 million jobs in the first 11 months of 2012. More people employed mean more people and businesses can repay loans. And after better-than-expected economic news last week, some analysts said the economy could end up growing faster in the October-December quarter -- and next year -- than previously thought.
That assumes Congress and the White House can strike a budget deal to avert the "fiscal cliff" -- the steep tax increases and spending cuts that are set to kick in Jan. 1. If they don't reach a deal, those measures would significantly weaken the economy.
Banks have also been bolstered by higher capital, their cushion against risk. Banks boosted capital 3.8 percent in the third quarter, FDIC data show. And the industry's average ratio of capital to assets reached a record high.
On the other hand, many banks are no longer benefiting from record-low interest rates. They still pay almost nothing to depositors and on money borrowed from other banks or the government. But steadily lower rates on loans other than credit cards have reduced how much banks earn.
"This interest-rate pressure on the banks becomes very difficult to overcome," says Fred Cannon, chief equity strategist and director of research at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods. "It's a big headwind for banks."
Many banks have reported lower net interest margin -- the difference between the income they receive from loans and the interest they pay depositors and other lenders. It's a key measure of a bank's profitability.
The industry's average net interest margin fell to 3.43 percent in the third quarter from 3.56 percent a year earlier.

by the numbers
The pace of U.S. bank failures has slowed sharply since peaking in 2010 with 157. Since the start of 2008, the year the financial crisis erupted, 465 banks have failed. But their depositors haven't lost any money.
Some numbers related to the bank failures:

SEATTLE -- Former 49ers executive Carmen Policy, who now owns a Napa Valley vineyard, raised a glass to the Seattle Seahawks on Friday.
His not so subtle message? Put a cork in it.
In a tongue-in-cheek open letter to our "Dear Friends in Beautiful Seattle,'' Policy wrote:
"We are quite certain that your valiant efforts will be appreciated by fans throughout America as you fall just one game short of going to Super Bowl XLVIII in the Big Apple.
"Please note that as the final whistle blows on Sunday and the Niners have become this year's NFC Champions, that much of the Napa Valley and San Francisco Bay Area will be lifting a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon as a toast to your memorable but terminated season."
Policy was a top executive starting in 1983, helping owner Eddie DeBartolo and coach Bill Walsh make the 49ers the team of the decade.
These days, Policy and his wife, Gail, own a vineyard that produces his Casa Piena label, a 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon. His teammates includes Thomas Rivers Brown, one of the most sought after wine-makers in the Napa Valley, as well as heralded vineyard manager Jim Barbour.
Policy's letter to Seattle fans ended with one last zinger:
"Good luck next year and please consider visiting us this summer so that we can talk about the Forty-Niners victory in New York and a sixth Lombardi Trophy on their shelf. Submitted with love and respect, Carmen."

The 1880s saw intense competition among cities to secure colleges, with Newton no exception. The Newton College Association organized in 1887 with the goal of establishing "a nonsectarian but religious college." The association filed a charter establishing Bethel College May 23, 1887.
The founders sought to "pay the debt of gratitude...by opening wide the doors of the institution, so that all may have an opportunity to partake of whatsoever advantages may be offered by it."
In recognition of its being "Newton's college," Bethel is offering a 125th Anniversary Scholarship exclusively to members of the Newton community.

Complete your application and take the first step toward earning your 125th Anniversary Scholarship.

(O) Rafferty - Ó Raithbheartaigh, mod. Ó Raifeartaigh. Though etymologically this (from rath bheartach, prosperity wielder) is distinct from Ó Robhartaigh (from robharta, full tide) anglicized O'Roarty, these two names have been treated as one, at least since the fifteenth century. As co-arbs of St. Columcille on Tory Island Roarty is now mainly Co. Donegal while Rafferty is of Co. Tyrone and Co. Lough.
(O) Rahilly - Ó Raithile this well-known Munster family originated as a branch of the Cenél Eoghain in Ulster buthas long been closely associated with west Munster, the poet Egan O'Rahilly for example was a Kerryman.
Redmond - Réamonn. A Hiberno-Norman family of importance throughout Irish history. They are associated almost entirely with South Wexford. The branch of the MacMurroughs in north of that county, some of whom adopted the name of Redmond whose chief was called Mac Davymore, are quite distinct from the MacRedmonds.
(O) Regan - Ó Riagain. Ó Réagainis used in county Waterford. There are three septs with this name. That shown as of Leix was in the early times one of the 'Tribes of Tara'. The eponymous ancestors of the Thomond sept were akin to Brian Boru. The third was akin to the MacCarthys.
(O) Reilly - Ó Raghailligh One of the most numerous names in Ireland, especially so in Co. Cavan. The prefix O has been widely resumed in the anglicized form. The head of this important sept was chief Breffny O'Reilly
(O) Riordan - Rearden Ó Riordáin. This numerous sept belongs exclusively to Minster, he earlier form of Ó Rioghbhardáin reveals its derivation from riogh bhard, royal bard.
(O) Rooney - Ó Ruanaidh. Originating in Co. Down, where Ballyroney locates them, this name is now numerous in all the provinces except Munster. In West Ulster and north Connacht Rooney is often an abbreviation of Mulrooney.
(O) Shea - Shee Ó Séaghdha; mod. Ó Sé (séaghdha, hawklike, secondary meaning stately). Primarily a Kerry sept, but (as in Shee) it is notable as the only Gaelic-Irish name among "the Tribes of Kilkenny' to which county and Co. Tipperary a branch of the sept migrated in the thirteenth century.
(O) Sheehan - Sheahan Ó Síodhacháin. (The obvious derivation from síodhach, peaceful, is not accepted by some Celtic scholars). The Dalcassian sept which spread southwards accounts for the majority of Sheehans who are now very numerous in Co.s Cork, Kerry, and Limerick. Formerly also there was an Uí Maine sept of this name which, however, is rarely found in Connacht today.
(O) Slattery - Ó Slatara, Ó Slatraigh (slatra, strong). Of Ballyslatterly in east Clare. The name has now spread to adjacent counties of Munster.
Smith - Smyth When not the name of an English settler family, Smith is usually a synonym of MacGowan, nearly always so in Co. Cavan.
(Mac) Spillan(e) - Mac Spealáin (derivation as O'Spillane). The family is, however, quite distinct from Ó Spealáin (O'Spillane) Spollan and Spollin, rarely retaining the prefix Mac, are numerous in County Offaly. Older anglicized forms were Spalane and Spalon.
(O) Sullivan - Ó Súileabhain. (While there is no doubt that the basic word is súil (eye) there is a disagreement as to the meaning of the last part of the name). This is the most numerous surname in Munster and is third in all of Ireland. Originally of south Tipperary, the O'Sullivans were forced westwards by the Anglo-Norman invasion where they became one of the leading septs of the Munster Eoghanacht. There were several sub-septs, of which O'Sullican Mor and O'Sullivan Baere were the most important.
(Mac) Sweeney - Swiney Mac Suibhne (the word suibhne denotes peasant, the opposite of diubhneI). Of all galloglass origin it was not until the fourteenth century that the three great Tirconnell septs of MaSweeney were established; more than a century later a branch went to Munster.
(O) Tierney - Ó Tighearnaigh (tighearna, lord). There were three septs of this name, in Donegal, Mayo, and Westmeath, but it is now scattered. It is much confused with Tiernan in Mayo. In southern Ulster this is usually of different origin, viz., Mac Giolla Tighearnaigh, which was formerly also anglicized MacIltierney.
Walsh - Breat(h)nach (Welshman) which is re-anglicized also as Brannagh, Brannick etc. A name given independently to many unconnected families in different parts of the country and now the fourth most numerous of all Irish surnames. It is sometimes spelt Welsh, which is the pronunciation of Walsh in Munster and Connacht.
(O) Whelan Ó Faoláin (faol, wolf). A variant form of Phelan numerous in the country between Co. Tipperary and Co. Wexford. Whelan is also sometimes an abbreviation of Whelehan and occasionally a synonym of Hyland. Whelan is rare in Ulster.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Debi714 No bar complete without the Cirrus Ice Ball Press! The Cirrus Ice Ball Press/Kit was the PERFECT gift for my husband! He really loves it! After reading the review Justifiable Luxury, ByKentuckyBourbonGentleman on your site I made the decision to buy it for him. Everyone in the family is enjoying the ice balls in all their beverages! The finest restaurant in our town has the ice ball machines and they are all the rage! A must have for the guy who thought he had everything (he needed)! FRONTGATE got this special gift to me well before Christmas! January 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by KentuckyBourbonGentleman Justifiable Luxury Truthfully, I had an incredibly hard time justifying the investment in a Cirrus 2 3/4" Ice Ball Machine. However, once I bit the bullet I cannot tell you how impressed I am with the quality of the ice ball product that this machine produces. I have a collection of over 150 fine bourbons and they are all enhanced with the slow melting ice ball that the Cirrus Ice Ball Machine produces. In addition, my guests are tremendously impressed with the show and product that this ice ball machine generates. Is it necessary for enjoying fine bourbon...NO. Does it enhance the enjoyment of my bourbons and distilled spirits ... ABSOLUTELY!!! ...and it is really, really cool. My wife, quite frankly, thinks I am an idiot for buying this machine but I think that I am a genius for adding this to my Bourbon Bar!!! November 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by WackyBrakke Awesome Gotta love a perfect ice sphere! perfect way to cool a cocktail....be that whiskey, scotch or vodak.....yum December 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by NorthernCaliforniaFamily Terrific Product! The Busiest Tool in Our Home! Such a unique and useful tool for making spherical ice balls! Such fun! The Cirrus Ice Ball Press looks and feels impressive (gratefully made in the USA - and obviously with pride!) I use mine every day -- not only for alcoholic refreshments, but for non-alcoholic beverages, too. Guests are always interested in seeing how it works (as it sits majestically on my counter) and no one can believe how incredibly slowly the round ice ball melts. It's a great conversation starter, too! Adults always seem impressed, kids squeal with delight, and my drink doesn't get watered down. I have the 2" Ice Ball Press, and have put the 2.75" one on my Wish List. I highly recommend this product as it is very "high end" and extremely well made. A great gift! November 27, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Portiere Just OK... Disappointed to see a big seam in the ice ball where the 2 halves meet. The cheap plastic ice trays can do the same thing. For the money I expected a lot better quality. September 7, 2014

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only column that is marveling at the wonder that is 12/12/12.
According to our nifty mental math, today's three-pack of 12s won't come around for another 100 or so years. To mark this stupendous occasion (and because we highly doubt any of the intrepid staffers currently taking up residence at the Summit Up Corporate Suites will be around in a century) we've searched long and hard to compile a Top 12 list of our favorite things that are somehow related to today's lucky number. So without further ado:
12. A dozen (12) donuts from Daylight Donuts in Breck. Honestly, it doesn't get much better than a hot donut on a cold morning, and the best part is that when you buy a dozen you have enough for friends.
11. Twelve days of Christmas. We can never remember what all the gifts are in the song, but we're pretty sure that it has something to do with a bird and a fruit tree.
10. Twelve-ounce cans. What would American obesity be without a ubiquitous soda (or adult beverage) can?
9. Twelve inches in a foot. Until we're forced to switch to the metric system, we'll stick with our inches and feet - even if it is harder to remember.
8. Twelve eggs in a carton. It seems that there just aren't too many better ways to get your daily allotment of protein than from an egg. Lucky for us and this list they're sold by the dozen.
7. A dozen months in a year. We're not really sure why, but we always found the number of months very comforting.
6. Peyton Manning. We know his number is 18, but 18 is just one-and-a-half times 12. We really don't know how you can go wrong with someone that has given new life to a fanbase that has been searching for inspiration since ol' No. 7 hung up his cleats more than 12 years ago.
Well, we'd love to keep going but frankly we've run out of cool things that have something (anything really, no matter how far-fetched) to do with the number 12. We figured we made it more than halfway through the list considering there are less than 12 of us today at the ol' world headquarters.
That's all we've got. Catch ya next time, same bat time, same bat place.

Summit schools hosted assemblies Monday to welcome Jerry Ackerman, a nationally recognized motivational speaker, to discuss the topic of bullying - what it is and, more importantly, how to avoid it.Ackerman, who travels through the U.S. giving speeches to students on various topics, started off his time in Summit County by holding a parent workshop on bullying in the morning. "At the school, we really need to partner with parents," said Joel Rivera, principal of Summit Middle School.Ackerman gave speeches at both the middle school and the high school later in the day. Rather than focusing on the negative aspects of bullying, Ackerman highlighted the importance of a positive school culture of respect and ways to counter bullying activities even before they start."It's not 'here's how we don't bully,' but it's really an emphasis on 'here's how we treat each other,'" said Jim Smith, Summit High School's dean of students. "It all starts with respect and the culture and the climate. When a student walks through the halls of Summit High School they need to feel safe, they need to feel included, they need to feel respected. If any of those core components aren't in place, it affects their educational experience."Ackerman's speech had the students up and moving. At one point, he asked the entire 600-plus middle school student body to stand up and introduce themselves to someone they didn't know. The purpose, Rivera explained, was to give them an idea of community and fellowship, to have them recognize that person when they walk down the halls and identify them as friends."He knew his audience, he was funny, he was entertaining, he had kids getting up and moving around," Rivera said. "Our kids responded really well about that."The high school has implemented the Colorado Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports Initiative (PBIS), which is one method of bullying prevention in schools. Rivera said that in addition to leadership classes and the Jump Start program, the middle school will be adding the PBIS program next year."It's all about understanding differences and how do you get along and how do you respect and understand (others)," Rivera said.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Two flight attendants aboard Asiana Airlines Flight 214 were catapulted out the back of the damaged Boeing 777 but survived the crash landing at San Francisco International Airport, federal investigators said Tuesday as they provided more details about the chaotic final moments of the doomed flight from South Korea and its fiery aftermath.
"They were found down the runway and off to the side of the runway," National Transportation Safety Board Chairwoman Deborah Hersman told reporters. "They obviously have gone through a serious event."
Two victims from the crash previously were reported to have suffered severe road rash, but it's unclear whether they were the unidentified flight attendants who were ejected from the back of the plane.
During the news conference, Hersman said none of the four pilots who took turns flying the Boeing "Triple 7" in pairs over the more than 10-hour, trans-Pacific flight from Seoul to San Francisco was tested for drugs or alcohol, which is a requirement of U.S. crews involved in a crash. That requirement does not apply to foreign-based crews flying into the U.S.
The plane's first officer and passengers also have told investigators that one of the emergency evacuation slides deployed inside the cabin, Hersman said, and investigators are still trying to verify reports that the slide pinned another flight attendant.
Hersman added more details Tuesday about the crash, which severed the plane's tail. She said the Boeing 777's landing gear actually hit the seawall first, followed by the tail.
The plane then "ballooned" and yawed left down Runway 28L before going into a 360-degree spin that left the runway littered with debris and "galley materials, newspapers, magazines and flooring."
Hersman's revelations came amid increasing criticism from the Air Line Pilots Association about the amount of detail she's been offering since the flight crashed Saturday morning, saying it encourages "wild speculation." Hersman disagrees.
"One of the hallmarks of the NTSB is our transparency," Hersman said. "We are the advocate for the traveling public. We think it's important to show our work and tell people what we're doing."
The parents of Ye Mengyuan and Wang Linjia, the two 16-year-old girls who were killed in the crash, have arrived in the Bay Area from China. They were joined by the parents of other students who were part of a group touring colleges while attending a Southern California church summer camp.
Asked about reports that one of the dead 16-year-old girls had taken off her seat belt before the crash, Hersman said investigators still need to review the flight manifest and seat configurations to determine where everyone was sitting during the crash -- and will look to see whether any of the original seat belts had been modified after the plane was delivered to Asiana.
In another development, passenger Elliott Stone said he had to call 911 from the runway to help four severely injured passengers when no ambulance had arrived about 25 minutes after the crash. Even though first responders were on the scene, Stone said he called 911 because no one was listening to his pleas to help the injured passengers.
"The biggest thing we noticed," he said, "was just the lack of protocol. It wasn't necessarily individuals' faults, it was just they didn't know the protocol, or there was no protocol. No one was directing the show."
At her news conference, Hersman provided new details about the flight experience of the pilots. Three of the four pilots have given interviews to investigators and are cooperating, Hersman said. The fourth, "a relief captain" was sitting in the cabin during the crash and was being interviewed on Tuesday, Hersman said.
The pilot sitting in the left seat during the crash, Lee Kang-kuk, was attempting his first landing at SFO in a Boeing 777 and has 9,700 miles of flight time, including about 5,000 hours as "pilot in command," Hersman said. His "instructor pilot," Lee Jung-min, was sitting in the right seat.
He told investigators that he has about 13,000 hours of flying time, including 10,000 hours of "command time" and 3,000 hours in the Boeing 777 and previously flew for 10 years with the South Korean Air Force. It was his first flight as an instructor pilot.
"The instructor pilot stated that he was the pilot in command," Hersman said. "This was the first time that he and the flying pilot that he was instructing had flown together."
The crash temporarily shuttered two of SFO's four runways, disrupting dozens of flights trying to land at SFO on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Runway 28L remained closed Tuesday as investigators continue to go through the wreckage
But the Asiana Airlines crash no longer is having much impact on Bay Area air travel.
"Flight operations are returning to near normal" at San Francisco International Airport, according to a notice posted on the airport's website on Tuesday.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has joined U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida in introducing legislation that would allow states to return unwanted federal funds to the Treasury to help pay down the national debt.
McConnell said in a statement that political leaders have to continue to look for ways to rein in wasteful spending, and he said he believes the latest bill, dubbed the REFUND Act, would help with that.
The proposal already has the support of the National Taxpayers Union and the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste.

They both have a lot to offer, but hinder themselves by being too much of what they are...Michael Moore sometimes obscures important facts with an overabundance of personality and Chomsky will often lack any personality whatsoever and replace it instead with heavy intellectualism - which hurts the points he's trying to make.
And I would, beleive it or not, debate Chomsky being on the "left" to begin with...he's clearly an anarchist (even has said it himself). Further left than most, but he's in staunch opposition to the neo-liberalism that has become pervasive in the U.S. and around the world.

Skydivers in Zephyrhills died from blunt trauma, report says
Published: Saturday, March 30, 2013 at 8:49 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 30, 2013 at 8:49 a.m.
ZEPHYRHILLS - Autopsies show that two Icelandic skydivers died from blunt trauma during a jump last weekend.
Pasco County's medical examiner released the report Friday, though the toxicology report wasn't yet complete.
Deputies found the bodies of 41-year-old Orvar Arnarson and 25-year-old Andrimar Pordarson last Saturday after the two didn't return from a jump with a group. Officials searched for hours by air and ground near the Zephyrhills facility, about 30 miles northeast of Tampa.
The men jumped separately, not in tandem, and video taken from a helmet camera showed Arnarson, an instructor, trying to pull Pordarson's release cord in the moments before they died.
The two men had successfully completed two jumps earlier that day. The victims were in a skydiving group from Iceland that travels to Florida annually.

The facts are overwhelming: there are an estimated 500,000 children in the U.S. foster care system. And as of 2007, there were more than 25,000 additional youth who have "aged out" of the foster care system, putting them at high risk for poverty, homelessness, incarceration, and early parenthood.
All of these youth are in desperate need of permanent, safe homes with loving families.
These families already exist.
However, the current patchwork of state laws does a disservice to these children by denying them access to permanent, safe and loving homes. Many state laws deem well-qualified individuals the opportunity to become foster parents or adopt simply because of their marital status, sexual orientation or gender identity.
The Every Child Deserves a Family Act can change this fact and open up countless opportunities to provide children with the homes and families that they deserve.

Using an angled blush brush, sweep the sculpting powder (deepest shade) around the outside edge of face, and in hollows of cheeks. Using the same brush, apply brightening cheek glow (medium shade) to apples of cheeks and dust lightly on chin, tip of nose, and forehead. Finally, apply the light diffusing powder (lightest shade) all over face, blending out any harsh edges and concentrating light at cheekbones and browbones. Alternatively, use a large, fluffy brush to blend all three shades and dust over complexion as a luminous finishing powder.
