Even though I've designed lots of cute animals… I'll admit it: my number of sea animals was really lacking.
I knew I needed to fix that.
So I thought… what's the cutest sea animal that I haven't crocheted yet?
The answer seemed obvious: an otter!
They have adorable teddy-bear-like faces and sweet little paws that are usually holding onto something yummy or another otter!
So… here's mine!
Don't you love her? She's got a little starfish (instructions included!) and the curve in her body is a fun bit of crochet (using slip stitches).
I can imagine all sorts of fun variations on this pattern… otters holding clams or beach balls… maybe even an otter with a heart for Valentine's Day! (grab my free hearts pattern to make that happen!)
Or two otters holding hands! Squee! Can you tell I'm excited?
Grab the pattern… with a coupon!
I'd like to celebrate this sweetie's release with a little deal for you!
Use the code OTTER to get $1 off until the end of day tomorrow (Friday)!
Now hop on over to the otter pattern page to purchase!
Let the otter fun begin!

Great Product!
By Tucker's Mom
from West Virginia
I have always tried to buy the best food available for my furry friends. After loosing my Schnauzer girl to cancer I started making my own dog food. We use both dry and homemade for the boys, a Schnzuzer and a Poodle mix, both adopted. Sometimes I use other brands but I always come back to Newman's because it is organic and it's the only brand I trust.

Newman's Own has been fine for Shelley
By Bob
from Northville, MIchigan
We ordered "Chicken formula" of Newman's Own adult organic food.What we received had no mention of chicken on the front of the bag, only grains and vegetables. The only mention of chicken was on the back with a list of way-to-many added ingredients. Doesn't make it look natural to us; too many chemicals.

The Best!
By Winston and me.
from Norton Ma
I did a lot of research and Nerwmans Own was rated one of the best. My dog Winston (an English Bulldog) loves it and his health is excelent. His coat has a beautiful shine and he has been able to maintain optimum weight over the last 6 months.
Only brand with no recalls.
By Mrs. Dog Mommy
from Portage, WI
Due to recalls on all brands of pet foods, I researched trying to find one that is safe. I was at the point of cooking beef roasts and chicken breasts, even though there have been problems with people foods. Neumans Own uses food that is human grade to make their pet foods. It is hard to find and pricey. But, this site has phone orders and is a good company to deal with. I have hopes that Neumans brand stays true to their mission and offers safety and quality. Major brands are after the bottom line and to achieve profits, uses ingredients from other countries with different allowed chemicals and antibiotics.Or by-products which may include everything but hair, hooves and teeth. Rendering companies use dead animals of any species. So I cross my fingers and depend on Neumans Own to do what they say they do.

I probably should've read these in order, but my book club picked out a couple to read, so this was one of them.
'Strong Poison' is a solid, old-fashioned mystery. I thought it was a little bit predictable, but Sayers being influential on the development of the mystery genre probably has a lot to do with that.
Harriet Vane, mystery writer, is accused of the murder of her ex-lover. The evidence against her seems pretty damning - but Lord Peter Wimsey, dilettante investigator, is convinced of her innocence, and will commit his not-insignificant resources to clear her name. But is he blinded by his romantic infatuation with the accused?
The sequences with Miss Climpson and the faux-seances were the highlight of the book, for me.
Nicely written Golden Age mystery where Harriet Vane is first introduced into Peter Wimsey's world. It seems quite obvious that she's guilty of having murdered her former lover, but Lord Peter is not convinced and tries to work out what actually did happen. The mystery is peeled back bit by bit with strong input from some interesting minor characters.
This of course is the Wimsey novel in which he meets his future wife Harriet Vane by seeing her on trial for the murder of her former lover. There is some quite good dialog between them, but the story is not my favorite since the victim was poisoned by arsenic and Sayers (like Vane, and unlike some mystery writers of the period) knew enough about arsenic poisoning to make clear it is very unpleasant (though not as nasty as the poison in The Documents in the Case).
Definitely the best of this series so far. Harriet Vane is on trial for the murder(by poisoning) of her ex-boyfriend. Peter Wimsey falls in love with her, wants to marry her and sets out to prove her innocence. Very well plotted, with a plausible motive and method and a satisfactory villain. Miss Climpson again excellent, stooping to faking spiritualist abilities, but unable to reconcile it with her conscience to hold a seance on a Sunday. Miss Murchison and the whole Cattery organisation are inspired. Finally, the dialogue between Peter and Harriet was excellent for its frankness, humour, equality and the respect with which he treats her conscience, past decisions and her right to determine her future.
Back to the beginning of the Wimsey-Vane series, and I enjoyed this one as much as Busman's Honeymoon. Good mystery, witty characters ... a real delight.

Mystery novelist Harriet Vane knew all about poisons, and when her fiancÉ died in the manner prescribed in one of her books, a jury of her peers had a hangman's noose in mind. But Lord Peter Wimsey was determined to find her innocent--as determined as he was to make her his wife.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:10:31 -0400)
Dashing detective Lord Peter Wimsey is caught up in the murder trial of mystery writer Harriet Vane. Her fiance has died of poisoning exactly as described in one of Harriet's novels -- so naturally she is the prime suspect. As Peter looks on, he not only falls in love with the accused but eagerly helps with Harriet's defense when the first trial ends in a hung jury. Will she be convicted and executed for the crime, or can he save her life and win her hand in marriage?… (more)

But for the nonverbal Sikeston boy who has very limited use of his limbs, finding a playground he can access by his wheelchair hasn't been easy -- until now.
Through assistance from Make-A-Wish Foundation and help from local volunteers, a playground will be constructed in Chase's back yard at 815 E. Gladys St. in Sikeston.
"We were excited," said Chase's mother Amy Cobb about learning Chase's wish would be granted.
Being able to have the ability to move around his playground and use it independently will be a dream come true for Chase, said C.J. Faria, a volunteer wish granter for Make-A-Wish Foundation's St. Louis Regional Office.
"He got his first electric wheelchair, but he wasn't able to use it at home a lot, and he has a need for speed, being a 6-year-old," Faria said.
"Build Chase's Backyard" will begin about 10 a.m. Saturday when volunteers will start setting up the playground which features a special swing with a harness so Chase doesn't fall out, a swing with a wheelchair and learning panels he can drive up to.
More volunteers will be needed again around 1 p.m. after the concrete poured for the playground has had time to set, Faria said.
"We're needing as many volunteers as we can get," Faria said, adding any individual or groups who want to come and help are welcomed to help Saturday.

Shooting probe urgedJanuary 17th, 2014 , The Phnom Penh Post
UN rights envoy Surya Subedi wrapped up his six-day fact-finding mission to Cambodia yesterday by calling for a thorough investigation into security forces' role in the deadly crackdown on garment workers early this month.
He also offered to act as a mediator between the ruling Cambodian People's Party and the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party and said he hoped to see Cambodians heading to the polls after his recommendations were implemented. …
Subedi also called on the authorities to release on bail the 23 detainees held since the crackdown.
"I condemn the incommunicado detention of the 23 for several days and urge the authorities to prevent the reoccurrence of such violation of individual rights," he said.
Twenty-three alleged protesters and activists were charged with intentional violence with aggravating circumstances and intentional damage with aggravating circumstances after being arrested on January 2 and 3 and then held in secret in Kampong Cham's Correctional Center 3.
The UN envoy also said the government should outline the legal basis for a ban on public gatherings, create an evidence-based mechanism to set a new minimum wage for garment workers, establish an independent human rights institution and address his concerns over ongoing land disputes. …

Air Purifiers
Americans spend about 90 percent of their lives indoors. On average, indoor air is two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, due mainly to dust, pollen, mold, cleaner molecules and other contaminants. Air purifiers use filters to circulate your air and catch many of these extraneous particles, making the air cleaner and you less prone to irritation. Unlike humidifiers and dehumidifiers, which prevent mold, dust mites and other issues by controlling indoor humidity, air purifiers simply work as filters to collect extraneous dust particles that exist in the air.
Types of Air Purifiers
Room air purifiers are ideal for homes that don't have forced-air heating or cooling. They are also less expensive than whole-house models and usually weigh between 10 and 20 pounds, have a handle and stand on the floor or a table.
Dedicated ozone generators are a type of room air purifier. They produce large amounts of ozone, which reduce allergens such as dust, smoke, pollen, germs and mold but which also are likely to cause throat irritation and pose other possible health concerns.
Whole-house air cleaners are good choices if your home has forced-air heating. However, they can be expensive to buy and need to be professionally installed into the ductwork of your heating system. Most also need to be wired into your electrical system. They are also the best performing air purifiers, due mostly to high-efficiency filters.
Whole-house air filters are inexpensive alternatives to whole-house air cleaners are replace the existing furnace filter in a forced-air heating or cooling system. You slip out the old filter and slide in the replacement. They need to be replaced every one to three months.
Important Air Purifier Features
- Fan: Most room air cleaners use a fan to suck in air through the filter. Those without a fan run more quietly, but they are usually less efficient. Look for models with a low-decibel fan.
- Servicing indicator: To keep an air purifier working efficiently, you need to remove and wash the collector plate every month or so. This can be done in the sink, tub or dishwasher. An indicator light is available on many purifier models to conveniently remind you that the filter is due to be cleaned or replaced. This will help to keep you with the cleanest and most efficient air purifier quality.
- Clean air delivery rate (CADR): Developed by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, CADR measures how much clean air an air purifier delivers to a room in cubic feet per minute. Compare these rates on different models to gauge which will perform best.
- Dust sensor and air-quality monitor: In some room models, dust sensors and air-quality monitors are available. They will raise or lower the fan speed automatically based on the surrounding air quality and dust levels. This may be convenient for people who use air purifiers when they're not at home or when they cannot monitor the air quality while it is running.
- Ozone output: Ozone is a lung irritant, and is used in some air purifiers to chemically alter molecules in the air. However, it can actually exacerbate a breathing problem for air purifier users who inhale it. Relatively low amounts can cause chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath and throat irritation. For an air purifier that will work best for your breathing issues, you should choose one with little or no ozone output.
Air Purifier Cost
The initial cost of an air purifier unit varies extensively. While some basic models like whole-house air filters cost as little as $35, whole-house air cleaners can cost as much as $500. This depends on manufacturer, size, materials used in production and overall quality of the device.
Like all appliances, different air purifiers use different amounts of energy to operate. HEPA air purifiers usually use between 50 and 200 watts of energy. To put that into perspective, a typical lamp uses 60 watts, while a typical computer uses 365. While you will be using more energy, it will likely not cause too large an impact on your electric bill.
Air purifier maintenance is another storey. In order to keep your air purifier working properly, you need to replace filters regularly and on time. Some air purifiers have multiple filters, such as pre-filter, HEPA filter and carbon filter, all of which need to be replaced at different times. The typical HEPA air purifier filter should be replaced every three to five years, and it costs between $70 and $200 each. The pre-filter should be replaced every three months, and it costs between $20 and $30. The carbon filter should be replaced every six months, and it costs between $15 and $100. Still, the recommended times for filter changes can vary by model, so check your user manual before making any large changes.

Do you think you're paying a lot at the pump?
It's even worse for those who have to fill up with diesel, which is a lot more expensive right now.
It's what school buses run on and school administrators are scratching their heads trying to figure out where they can cut costs.
Pretty soon you'll see many buses back on the roads and they'll be hauling students all over eastern Kentucky for games and field trips.
Just getting kids back and forth to school costs more this year.
"Simply because parents are going to say that they don't have the money to haul you to school when the bus goes right by here," Walter Hulett said.
Knox County Superintendent Walter Hulett says with transportation costs soaring hundreds of thousands of dollars higher than they projected just two years ago.
All school systems seem to be getting it by the higher gas prices.
"Budgeting for fuel is a real nightmare right now because you have no idea what it's going to be three months from now, two months from now, or 12 months from now," Darryl Wilder said.
They can't do much to change transports to and from students' homes.
So school administrators are looking at other areas.
With sports, most of the varsity games are set with rigid contracts.
"We're looking mainly at freshman and JV games. You have more control over those within a 30 - 40 mile radius. How many teams can we participate with that offer the same sports we do and there's a pretty good number," Hulett said.
Middleboro Independent's Superintendent is looking at the numbers and trying to figure out how to save.
"Not mandatory restrictions, but awareness with our coaches & principals. We're asking them to help us to eliminate waste," Wilder said.
Because in the battle against rising gas prices It's a game they want to win.
Middlesboro Independent School officials are actually meeting this coming Tuesday to go through the numbers to figure out specific ways they can cut costs.

Jackson, WY (AP) - The Wyoming Game and Fish Department trapped and relocated a sub-adult male grizzly bear that had killed livestock west of Thermopolis.
The agency says the bear was captured May 19 and taken to the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, where it was released about three miles south of the Yellowstone National Park.
The release site is located in currently occupied grizzly bear habitat.

1. For residents of Massachusetts, it is an achieved title for drving faster, being wreckless, cutting other drivers off often, and having no patience for other drivers on the road.
2. For non-residents of Massachusetts, it is a term of dislike for the people of Massachusetts that drive like an asshole.
In short - many residents of Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Vermont, Rhode Island, and Connecticut feel that all residents of Massachusetts are massholes. You don't mind that, right? Because by becoming a resident, you'll probably pick up some of the habits chronicled on this site.

Bought these for my mother who has a digital hearing aid so wanted one that worked with these without the usual buzzing when using....These fit the bill perfectly. Crystal clear reception even when used outside from base unit.
Nice and easy to set-up with phonebook, ringtones etc etc.
Nice large numbers but perhaps not for visually impaired as the buttons are not as huge as some corded phones....
Nice touch is the volume control at the side which allows adjustment while held at the ear for instant checking.
I have bought several brands over the years, but have always found BT to be amoung the best.

I am disappointed with this model after having the Freestyle 65 model. It is important that I have an inductive coupler on all the phones for my cochlear implants. These do not or are of poor quality that when switched to the T setting it is a continual buzz. To use on normal hearing settings is difficult to hear sometimes dependant how clear the speaker is. I feel let down this this model. May be if BT had a seperate section purely for hard of hearing with models that are compatable.

I have been very disappointed with this model, the up & down buttons for the phonebook are in the wrong position and are in line with the hand hold.
Both phones have a bad crackle in use and this is not the line which has been thoroughly checked with 2 other handsets.

Not so good
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 02/11/2009
I am afraid this has been a terrible buy for us. i bought it as it seemed to suggest that it would be good for visually impaired people. I bought it for my elderly mother who spends a lot of the time on the phone. It is imposible for someone with any visual difficulty because it has very complicated visual commands for set up and operation. It is far too complicated for a home phone.
My mother has had every member of the family and several neighbours in to try to show her how to use it properly without success! By accident she keeps changing the settings so sometimes she cannot hear it ringing. A phone that needs 66 pages of set up instructions is really not suitable as a home phone and deffinitely not one that should be marketed in the BT Easy to Use category. I am still looking for a simple large number phone if any has any ideas I would love to hear it!

Hong Kong couturier Pacino Wan says: "When you talk about a sexy Chinese lady, you think about the qi pao." So he used those dresses—also known as cheongsam—as inspiration for the Chinese Playboy bunny costumes that the entertainment company commissioned him to design.
The outfits are planned for Asia's first Playboy Club, opening this weekend at the top of the Sands Macao Hotel. Mr. Wan is the second designer in Playboy history to be asked to reimagine the bunny costume, which was originally designed in the 1960s by Hugh Hefner, Playboy's founder. In 2006, Italian fashion designer Roberto Cavalli crafted new costumes for the Playboy club in Las Vegas.
So, how different is the Asian variety going to be? "I made it red, like a Chinese festival," Mr. Wan says. "I wanted to keep the elegance, charm and heritage in the deisgn."
He worked with the traditional components of the costume – ears, bodysuit, cuffs and cotton tail, and added new elements, including a Mandarin collar, jade ornaments, Chinese fastenings, embroidery and red tassles. And he used materials such as Chinese silk, leather and – for comfort, he says – stretch satin.
Mr. Wan has designed four Playboy bunny outfits — one of them will be chosen and adapted by Playboy as the uniform for its cocktail waitresses.
Scroll down to view the four different looks and then take the poll:

Happy weekend, lovely ladies! I'm looking forward to some majorly overdue brunching with my best girlfriends. No matter what your plans are, you've gotta make time for these weekend picks.
The SessionsThis is quite possibly the most touching movie you'll see all year. Helen Hunt stars as a sex surrogate (quite different from a prostitute!), helping the iron lung-ridden John Hawkes (my new favorite chameleon, by the way) lose his virginity once and for all. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll leave wanting to talk about this movie with everyone you know--take my word for it!
The Girl
If you didn't already think Psycho or The Birds were creepy enough, turns out, Alfred Hitchcock, the man behind these scary classics, was quite creepy himself. Based on a true story, this HBO movie follows the relationship between Tippi Hedren, Hitchcock's real-life muse for The Birds and Marni (and Melanie Griffith's mother!), and the director... and their relationship is not a pretty picture. Sienna Miller and Toby Jones give fantastic performances. Now all that's missing is a rental of some of Hitchcock's classics--get on it, girls! Saturday at 9 pm ET on HBO.
Alex Cross
Tyler Perry and Matthew Fox star in this action thriller based on James Patterson's bestselling series. If you're looking for mindless entertainment with your guy and lots of popcorn munching, this one's for you.
What are you up to this weekend?

Hartsfield-Jackson in the news
Hartsfield-Jackson's plans to launch a free Wi-Fi program in early 2010 were announced on the front page of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on July 15. The Airport's research found that there was demand for both free Wi-Fi and a paid Wi-Fi service that offers access to sites that are closed to those using free service. The answer, Airport officials determined, was a hybrid program that offers customers the choice.
Long layovers can be a nuisance for travelers, but two online features suggested Hartsfield-Jackson's artistic offerings as a suggested antidote to the potential boredom.
Forbes magazine's list of interesting ways to pass the time at the nation's airports highlighted Hartsfield-Jackson's collection of Zimbabwean sculptures.
The Zimbabwean sculptures also appeared in the "Stuck at the Airport" blog by USA Today writer Harriet Baskas, who encouraged travelers to check out the Airport's "From Earth to the Universe" and Martin Luther King Jr. exhibits as well.

How Does Bankruptcy Affect Your Credit?
18 Comments |
The worst negative record that you can possibly have on your credit report is a bankruptcy. The impact that a bankruptcy has can last for many years, as this negative mark on your credit report can last for as long as a decade. You may not be able to get approved for credit or a loan at all during the first few years after you have filed for bankruptcy, because it has a very large and very negative impact on your perceived capability to repay an obligation.
Despite the negative impact that bankruptcy has on your credit, it is still an option to consider if you find yourself in very serious debt that you cannot seem to get yourself out of. If you are living from one paycheck to the next and have no way of paying off old debts, then bankruptcy is an option that it may be worthwhile to look at. Your credit rating is definitely going to be in ruin while you recover from your bankruptcy, but it will also allow for you to finally dig yourself out of what is a certainly overwhelming hole, reestablishing good credit over time. At the same time, filing for bankruptcy can stop collection agencies from calling and harassing you, and can stop other debt related problems from plaguing your life as well.
However, you need to realize that bankruptcy is not an easy way out of your debt, or a quick fix either. The procedure associated with filing for bankruptcy can be truly emotionally draining for many years. Following a bankruptcy, you will be ineligible for loans, credit cards and many other types of credit. There will also be additional restrictions that you need to adhere to. You could also face rejection when it comes to finding a job, because employers are legally allowed to check your credit when they decide whether or not to hire you.
Before you decide to file for bankruptcy, it is vital that you sit down and discuss your situation with credit counselors working with reputable counseling organizations. They have the experience needed to advise you on steps that you can take to fix your situation, as there may be alternatives to bankruptcy that you can try before you completely destroy your credit report in favor of a fresh start. If bankruptcy truly is the only option, then they will tell you this, and will advise you on how to go through the process.
Bankruptcy can be a depressing process but it can give you the chance to begin again with a fresh credit report and without the debt burden that you had before. You should begin improving your credit health now, and continue even after filing bankruptcy. As you cultivate healthy money management habits like saving and budgeting, you will find it easier to keep yourself from going into debt again.

If you do decide to file bankruptcy, plan ahead for credit repair. Most student loans are not dischargeable in bankruptcy, so make sure that you pay them on time before and afterwards. After bankruptcy, try and get a secured credit card and maintain it properly. Secured credit cards require you put money into a bank account in case you don't pay the credit card. Make sure you find a reputable one!
If you are married and your spouse did not declare bankruptcy, see if you can get added to his or her credit card as an "authorized user". It would also be greatly beneficial if you have a credit card that is not included in the bankruptcy, such as one with little or no balance. You should be able to keep this card afterwards. Just be sure not to try and reduce the balance on this card before you file bankruptcy (talk to your attorney about this).Eric Parker at 7:40 am on June 23, 2009
Thanks respecting sharing. Like always, on the well-to-do and right on objective!payday advance loan at 9:13 pm on February 16, 2010
What is the typical jump in credit score when a Chapter 7 bankruptcy falls off? It is not set to fall off for another two years, and I am at a 700 according to CK. I plan to have all credit cards payed off by then, so I am assuming that the impact will only be in the underwriting process and not necessarily in the score itself. Can you confirm this for me?Ryan at 7:04 am on April 9, 2010
Our bankruptcy was finalized in Feb 09. All creditors even those with no balance closed the credit line. I now have managed to get two secured cards, the one Capital One offers was rejected and stated because I had a bankruptcy on my credit reports. Just trying to get by and not making any big moves and sticking to living within my means (tough going cold turkey after having all that credit and a good paying job). Hey not the greatest but I sure am not freaked out every day about credit card bills and an over weight mortgage and second mortgage. I did trade in two cars with a loan before my credit started sinking and bought a new car so that is good and it should last for many years. I now buy used cars and enjoy fixing them up and keeping them for daily use. Will see what happens as time goes on.John at 10:23 pm on June 21, 2010
The Capital One card was an UNSECURED cardJohn at 10:24 pm on June 21, 2010
If anyone is going to declare bankruptcy, there is some extra homework you need to do because of some games that the creditors are playing.
Be sure that the creditor did not sell your account before your bankruptyc was filed. Many creditors have collection agencies within their business to whom they might sell your account.
If this occurs, your creditor might not advise you that this has happened and you'll later discover that your account did not get discharged because the original creditor did not own it at the time you filed. This is happening more and more. It's a way for creditors to get around the bankruptcy law.
Therefore, you need to make sure that your attorney has verified who owned that account when you filed the bankruptcy.
I became disabled and had to file bankrputcy in January 2008. I had a credit card with Washington Mutual. I listed them as the creditor. In fact, near the end of 2007 Washington Mutual sued me in court. I had almost no income. The judge gave me two continuances in court becuase he knew I intended to file bankruptcy and had no resources.
Washington Mutual was taken over by the government in September 2008. My bankruptcy was discharged months before that occurred. Now Chase is reporting to the credit bureaus that that account was is delingquent and sold (Which is it Chase, can you have it both ways?). The credit bureaus accepted Chase's word and the burdern of proof is on me. But, I have the evidence.
I don't know how Chase can report a Washington Mutual account as Chase on my credit history when the debt was discharged months before Chase took over Washington Mutual and use the dates 2005 and 2006. The account was still a Washington Mutual account and the debt was discharged on April 29, 2008
Under Counsumer Complaints you can read complaints against Chase and Arrow Financial.
Again, make sure that your debt is still owned by your orginal creditor at the time you file. After the bankruptcy make sure you keep every document, statement and correspondence. Make sure you discuss this matter with your attornery.
We all have responsibility for repaying the money we borrow. But, this is a different time and much of this financial disaster was not only a result of unethical lending instituions, it was packaged, marketed and sold to the American people. They not only encouraged people to borrow, they made it unusually easy. And once this financial party started coming a part, many well intentioned consumers were caught along with the government holding the bag. We'er not only paying as individuals, we're paying twice through by paying off the national debt which bailed out the creditors.John at 10:10 pm on November 18, 2010

France and Switzerland
The Basel festival, which is an international showcase for contemporary creation in the performing arts field, brings together, every year, nearly 200 performing arts professionals from several countries for performances and numerous events throughout the city.» Read more ...
Political relations
France's political relations with Switzerland are intense because of their close geographic proximity, common history, the economic ties with the country, the French language and the longevity of our political and diplomatic ties. A sign of the quality of these relations: Switzerland had agreed to represent French interests in FRY (Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) after France broke off its diplomatic ties with Belgrade in March 1999. At Bern's request, France, represented by its Foreign Affairs Minister, backed Switzerland's accession to the UN on 10 September 2002.
From a political standpoint, specifically bilateral meetings are frequent, at the level of the French President (Mr. Nicolas Sarkozy met with the Swiss President, Ms. Doris Leuthard, on 27-01-2010 for a meeting alongside the World Economic Forum in Davosand received her in Paris on 21-07-2010) and the Prime Minister (Mr. Fillon met with Mr. PascalCouchepin , Federal Councillor and Head of the Department of Home Affairs of the Swiss Confederation, on 16-02-2009, meeting between Mr. Fillon and Mr. Couchepin, then President of the Confederation, on 28-11-2008, and meeting between Mr. Fillon and Mr. Couchepin on 24-01-2008 alongside the World Economic Forum in Davos).
There have also been meetings between ministers of foreign affairs and European affairs (meeting between Mr. Kouchner and Ms. Calmy-Rey in Paris on 18-03-2009). The most recent visits to Switzerland made by Budget Minister Eric Woerth (June 2009) and Minister of the Economy Christine Lagarde (August 2009) received a great deal of media attention.

|SOUR graphs for efficient completion
|SOUR graphs, completion algorithms
|We introduce a data structure called SOUR graphs and present an efficient Knuth-Bendix completion procedure based on it. SOUR graphs allow for a maximal structure sharing of terms in rewriting systems. The term representation is a dag representation, except that edges are labelled with equational constraints and variable renamings. The rewrite rules correspond to rewrite edges, the unification problems to unification edges. The Critical Pair and Simplification inferences are recognized as patterns in the graph and are performed as local graph transformations. Our algorithm avoids duplicating term structure while performing inferences, which causes exponential behavior in the standard procedure. This approach gives a basis to design other completion algorithms, such as goal-oriented completion, concurrent completion and group completion procedures.

A 33-year-old Galesburg woman has been charged in connection with a hit-and-run incident that resulted in the death of a Knox College student early Sunday.
Lakeesha D. Smith, 33, McKnight St., was arrested Sunday afternoon and charged with DUI, leaving the scene of a fatality, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, expired registration and no valid insurance.
Smith is accused of hitting Knox College junior student Tundun Lawani in a single-vehicle incident and then fleeing the scene.
Galesburg police and Knox College campus security responded to the scene of a vehicle-pedestrian incident around 3:30 a.m. in the 100 block of West South Street. The victim was transported to Galesburg Cottage Hospital and later pronounced dead, according the police.
Knox College President Teresa Amott released a campus bulletin Sunday morning informing students that Lawani had died as a result of the incident.
"It is with very deep sadness that I write to inform you that early this morning, Tundun Lawani '14 was struck by a car as she and a small group of students crossed South Street in the vicinity of West Street," the bulletin read. "Her family, including her brother Oladipo '08 has been notified."
Amott's bulletin said counseling support was available for the campus, and information regarding remembrance gatherings will be released soon.

Steven Wright on Letterman, Rembrandt and Being Short
As a young comedian in the 1980s, Steven Wright perfected a style of delivery–short, pithy one-liners, spoken in a trademark deadpan–that younger comedians have been imitating ever since. Warner Bros. is re-releasing his legendary 1985 album, "I Have a Pony," on the occasion of the label's 50th anniversary, and in honor of that, Wright will appear on "The Late Show with David Letterman" tonight, performing classic bits from the record. In an interview, Wright talked about his upcoming music and film projects, how his comedy has evolved (it hasn't, really), and what it was like to be diminutive in high school.
The Wall Street Journal: You've made many appearances on Letterman's show over the years. What's he like off-stage?
Steven Wright: I like Letterman, I think he's hilarious and a nice guy. Where are you from?
Pittsburgh. Where are you from?
Burlington, Mass. A little town outside of Boston.
How's Massachusetts?
I went away for 20 years, then I wanted to go back home, so I went back eight years ago.
You're like David Souter.
I've never been in a sentence with someone from the Supreme Court.
I missed the change of seasons. I missed being around my family. I never felt at home in Los Angeles, I always felt like I was visiting. I'm just drawn to New England.
How do you write jokes? Do you carry around a notebook? Do you spend three hours at a desk every morning? What's your process?
It just kind of jumps out to me. From the moment someone wakes up, they're bombarded with pieces of information all day long, parts of conversation and so on. That's where all the jokes come from, from noticing things. I don't set a time aside to write them, they jump out. When I go home, I write them down. When I go on the road, I mix the new ones in with the other ones.
What was your family like growing up?
I had a wild, intense, Italian mother, a laid back Scottish father, two brothers and a sister, and just kind of a middle class, regular childhood. Little League, school, regular family life in a small town in Massachusetts.
What were you like in high school?
I was very little. I didn't weigh 100 pounds until I was in 11th grade. I was a very shy person. I would make my friends laugh but not the whole class. I was a good student, got mainly B's, occasional A's, occasional C's.
I grew a couple of inches after high school.
How has your comedy style evolved over the years?
Sometimes, in the beginning, I would connect the jokes into stories. Then I stopped doing that, and they were just one-liners. Now I connect things to stories again. I went back to how I did it in the beginning. Some stories have like 10 jokes connected to each other. Most of it is still one-liners. It hasn't evolved. It's still abstract, surrealistic material.
What comedians do you most admire? What artists and musicians?
Lewis Black, Jim Gaffigan. For musicians, the old classic guys like Neil Young, Lucinda Williams, Cowboy Junkies, Van Morrison. For artists…Rembrandt.
What are you reading these days?
I'm not reading anything. I'm in between books. My favorite book is anything by Kurt Vonnegut, he's my literary hero. I got to meet him several times, which was a great thrill for me. I don't really remember what we talked about. What's your name again?
Rebecca. What do you do for fun?
I watch Red Sox games. I visit with my family. I ride a racing bike, and I occasionally go see live music and hang out with friends.
How long are you on the road each year?
I used to go to 60 cities a year, but now I cut way down to like 15. I'm just taking a break from it for a little awhile. I only do occasional shows in the last year in a half.
What are you doing with the extra time?
I'm recording some serious songs that I've written. I know a couple of guys who have recording studios, and I've been working on that a little bit. And some writing. I'm trying to work on a project with a friend of mine. We're trying to write some kind of film thing. I don't know what it is yet, we're trying to just write something.
Also, I write new stand-up material.
How has the recession affected you?
It hasn't affected my sense of humor. It's affected my height though, I'm shorter now.
What inspires your art and music versus your comedy?
Your imagination can go into different fields. It's like the hub of a wheel and the spoke is the art form. It's coming out of the same place in your mind, but it goes into a different subject. What I like about the jokes, to me it's a lot of logic, no matter how crazy they are. It has to make absolute sense or it won't be funny. The paintings I do are completely abstract, so they don't have to make any sense, you've got the feeling of the shapes and color of the whole thing based on how you're feeling emotionally. The music is in between. The melody has logic but the lyrics can be non-specific. Coming out of the same source of my mind. The lyrics can be so abstract, and I just fool around with the guitar and stumble onto different melodies.
You're very even-tempered. Do you ever get angry?
I have all the emotions that everyone has, it just appears that I don't. I'm mad right now, Rebecca. No, I'm just kidding you.
Do you like fame?
Yeah, I like it. I feel very lucky to make a living from my imagination, I'm very grateful for that. I like that what I do is create. I'm feeling very lucky to have had the career I had. It's gone much longer and bigger than I ever thought it would be.
What would you do if you weren't a comedian?
I'm not sure. I would hope that it would do something else with creating. Maybe advertising. Maybe a disc jockey on the radio.

2008 News Releases
Longwood-affiliated Briery Creek Press awards Liam Rector poetry prize to Amy Tudor
April 14, 2008
Briery Creek Press, which is affiliated with Longwood University, and Creative Writing in Longwood's Department of English and Modern Languages recently awarded the 2008 Liam Rector First Book Prize for Poetry to Amy Tudor, for A Book of Birds.
The Prize, awarded April 10, includes publication by Briery Creek Press, a $1,000 honorarium, a letter-pressed broadside of the title poem, 50 copies of the winning book and a reading at Longwood. This year's judge, David Wojahn, a poet who directs Virginia Commonwealth University's creative writing program, called Tudor's book an "impressive debut" whose poems are "willing to ask the hard and essential questions about self, family history, and the role of our art and sullen craft in a complex and often unjust world…(She) possesses a lyric dexterity which matches her poems' thematic ambition."
Tudor, who lives in Louisville, Ky., is editor of a medical web site and a Ph.D. student at the University of Louisville. A Richmond and Norfolk resident from 1997 to 2004, she also is the author of the chapbook The Land of Intention, which won the Devil's Millhopper Press Chapbook Contest. She taught at the Appomattox Regional Governor's School in Petersburg for two years and has been an adjunct instructor at VCU (from which she received an M.F.A.), William & Mary, Old Dominion University and the University of Kentucky.
Briery Creek Press, founded and operated by Creative Writing faculty and students at Longwood, also publishes the Dos Passos Review, Longwood's twice-yearly journal. The Liam Rector Prize was awarded for the first time last year to Michael Meyerhofer for Leaving Iowa.
The award is named for native Virginian Liam Rector, a prominent poet and educator who at the time of his death, in August 2007, directed the graduate Writing Seminars at Bennington College, which he founded. He had been executive director of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs and had administered arts programs with the Guggenheim Foundation, the Folger Shakespeare Library and the National Endowment for the Arts. Rector was a founding member of the advisory board for both the Dos Passos Review and Briery Creek Press. His last reading performance was at Longwood, in April 2007.
"We established the Prize to provide a much-needed venue for poetry publication in an often difficult market," said Mary Carroll-Hackett, director of the Creative Writing program and editor-at-large of Briery Creek Press and the Dos Passos Review. "We also wanted to honor Liam Rector, who dedicated his professional life to the success of American letters."

If you get a summons and don't want to show up, just write across it that you choose not to participate and send it back to the court. That is what Obummer did in Georgia. He was summoned to court as a defendant and just told the court he didn't want to participate in the proceedings, and didn't show up or send a lawyer to represent him. Nothing was done, no contempt of court, nothing. What is good for him should apply across the board for all.

Gosh, the circuit court is NOSY these days. What else will they next ask? I don't mind answering a few questions, but being a potential juror should come with protections, one of which is a degree of privacy. It is off-putting.

A Quote by dani on self love, compassion, ignorance, love, strength, and courage
Don't expect others to treat you better than they treat themselves. If you choose to deal with them (or must), it is best to come from a place of compassion toward their ignorance and lack of love. Be solid enough to deal with it or step back to work on yourself first. ~Danielle Marie Crume

WADA Test
The WADA test is typically performed before seizure surgery on the
temporal lobe
to test the temporal lobe functions of language and memory. During the WADA test, doctors put each half of the brain to sleep for a few minutes. This allows a
to test the language and memory functioning of each side of the temporal lobe in isolation. The results of the test show doctors how much of the language and memory functions are located in the right and left sides of the brain, and are used to determine how much of the temporal lobe can be removed. The Wada test is named after the neurologist Juhn A. Wada, MD, who first performed the test.

A west Philadelphia abortion doctor along with his wife and eight other suspects are arrested.
Dr. Kermit Gosnel faces eight counts of murder in the deaths of a woman and seven babies.
Prosecutors allege those babies were born alive following illegal late-term abortions and then killed by severing their spinal cords.
The woman reportedly died after being overdosed with anesthetics prescribed by Gosnell.
Gosnell is suspected of killing hundreds of babies over the course of his 30-year practice. However, he isn't charged because records of those procedures don't exist.

Agents arrested J. Everett Dutschke, a martial arts instructor at his home in Tupelo, Miss. Just before 1 a.m., The New York Times reported, citing an FBI representative in Jackson, Miss.
The arrest comes after authorities dropped criminal charges Tuesday against Paul Kevin Curtis, who alleged that Dutschke had framed him, the Times reported.

Today, we got an upgrade. No more tiny room. No more holey sheets. No more stained wallpaper. I could go on, but I won't. We're movin' on up, and now we have a sitting room, a fridge, a balcony and all the amenities. We also have a date of release: Saturday, at 5:30 am. Why 5:30? Not gonna ask. Just gonna be there.
So we're bouncing along. At dinner, they had eggplant with pork–my favorite Chinese dish. And as we walked out out with our little plastic trays, my mom and agreed that the only thing we really still wanted was a cold drink (this was before we'd found the new fridge). Since we were eating outside, I asked for water at the desk–and they turned to a big cooler and produced five chilled bottles.
If we could, we'd go buy a lottery ticket.
We've made friends. Eric the hotel manager is fine–we've been given chips and chocolate, and we shared. Plus we gave him some of the treats we bought for friends–sorry, guys, Eric needs Sour Patch Kids and beef jerky more than you do. He'll be heading out with us Saturday morning. There's a family from Chicago and a high school student, and we shared with them, too.
The kids alternate between playing together and totally, utterly deviling one another. We tried to split them up today, and that helped. Lily and I took crayons and paper and sat outside and drew pictures, and for a minute, it felt like a real vacation.
Thanks for listening, everybody. We're ok. Rob's still pretty miserable in his cell–I'll post pictures–but on this side of the fence, we're fine.

Captaintreacherous, harness racing's top-ranked horse, is the 6-5 favorite for the $635,750 Meadowlands Pace on Saturday night at the Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, N.J.
He will start from post 5 against nine rivals in the richest race for 3-year-olds. Post positions were drawn Saturday night following the $50,000 Meadowlands Pace elimination.
Captaintreacherous, Twilight Bonfire and Wake Up Peter got byes into the final as the three biggest money-earners in the field.
The remaining 10 entrants competed for the seven remaining berths. Sunshine Beach won the elimination in 1:48. His connections were given their choice of posts and selected 2. He will be the 3-1 second choice.
Sunshine Beach paced the mile of his life to win The Pace elimination. George Brennan put the colt on the lead approaching the half mile and the 3-5 favorite took it from there.
The only meaningful challenge came from Odds On Equuleus who finished second by a neck to Sunshine Beach, which won for the fifth time in 12 starts for Hudson Standardbred Stable, Conrad Leber and Diane Bertrand.
George Brennan picked up the drive from trainer Mark Steacy.
"Mark said he was lazy and he was very lazy, so I didn't get him on the bit," Brennan said. "I just let him do what he had to do. I watched his race and he came from the back at Mohawk. That just doesn't work here. I knew I had to be up close, not necessarily on the lead, but I wound up there."
The field in post position order: Odds On Equuleus (4-1), Sunshine Beach (3-1), Resistance Futile (20-1), Twilight Bonfire (8-1), Captaintreacherous (6-5), Sir Cary's Z Tam (30-1), Johny Rock (20-1), Beach Memories (15-1), Wake Up Peter (10-1) and Rockin Amadeus (15-1).

Reloaded: Django video workshop with Douglas Napoleone
In his screencast, Douglas Napoleone programs a simple music database by using the Python Django framework. In its now available second version, Napoleone demonstrates how it works in the roughly two hours of the video.
In the first version of the workshop, Napoleone successfully set up the Django infrastructure to import the data model and establish the basic search and input functions. The next step was to make the application workable for users. In the second version, the developer shows in six parts how he designed the web interface via Python methods and finally enhanced it with HTML and CSS.

Cat's Cradle
by Kurt Vonnegut
Cat's Cradle Chapter 114 Summary
When I Felt the Bullet Enter My Heart
- John descends the spiral staircase with the Hoenikkers and notices the soldiers now building the funeral pyre. He thinks about just how many secrets the day has made.
- The group returns to the Hundred Martyrs to Democracy ceremony, and John suggests that Frank ask Ambassador Minton to give his speech.
- Minton starts his speech in San Lorenzan dialect but soon switches over to more manageable English.
- He then does a "very un-ambassadorial thing" and tells everyone how he really feels (114.9).
- The speech that follows is one of the core moments of humanist philosophy in the novel (check out our "Themes" section for more). It must absolutely be read in its original form. No paraphrase can do it justice.
- With that said, the gist of the speech is that we need to see war not as something that's tragic for a nation or a country but as something that's tragic for all of mankind.
- Afterward, Minton throws a wreath with the words "PRO PATRIA" into the sea, and the fighter planes begin their assault on the caricatures of freedom's enemies.

Mount Vernon News
MOUNT VERNON — It's said that lotteries are taxes on those who fail math, which lends a certain irony to lottery profits used for public education. Some $16 billion has been generated for education since the 1974 launch of the Ohio Lottery, and casino gaming has opened another revenue stream to Ohio's public schools. Educators welcome the money, but are somewhat underwhelmed.
Schools are the lone beneficiary of lottery profits, but gaming taxes are split seven ways, with education receiving 34 percent. A sizable total of $130 million has been shared by schools since Ohio's first casino opened in 2012. As the fund is divvied up, however, zeros melt away.
Ellen Scott is Treasurer of Centerburg Local Schools, which recently received a semi-annual casino tax allocation of $28,621, bringing its 2013 total to $56,851.
"We're glad to have it, but in a general fund of $9 million it's not really substantial," Scott said. "It's a drop in the bucket, really. State funding has dropped ever since we received stimulus money. That was never replaced, and we're operating at 2007 revenue levels."
