BEVERLY - In a battle of undefeateds, the Fort Frye High girl's basketball team asserted its dominance and proved it is one of the toughest teams around by defeating the River Lady Pilots 63-36 in a Pioneer Valley Conference matchup in Beverly Thursday night.
Sometimes in basketball games, one or two players will stand out with great individual performances. On this night, everybody pitched in for the Lady Cadets.
"I think it was a good team effort," said Fort Frye head coach Dan Liedtke. "That's what we have to have from this group. We've got to keep that up."

Hupp paced the Cadets with seven rebounds. Megan Liedtke had six boards, and Combs led the team with six steals and three assists.
River jumped out to a 3-0 lead on a 3-pointer from Laken Ramsey. A bucket by Hupp got Fort Frye on the board and made it 3-2. The Cadets took the lead on a layup by Buchanan to make it 8-7, and they never trailed again in the game. A fast break layup from Combs, a mid-range jumper from Borich and a 3-point play by Megan Liedtke made it 15-9 at the end of the first quarter.

Next game: Waterford at Fort Frye at 6 p.m. Saturday
Fort Frye would extend its lead to 13 points by halftime. After a basket by Buchanan made it 17-9, River's offense got a little sloppy. The Cadets recorded three consecutive steals by Hupp, Borich and Combs, which they converted into layups to make it 24-9. Overall, Fort Frye forced 20 River turnovers, including 11 in the first half.
"We knew coming in that Fort Frye would probably be the best team we would play all year," said River head coach Rick Isaly. "They're well-coached, and they're fundamentally sound."
The third quarter was more of the same, beginning with buckets from Combs and Borich, and ending with a layup by Hupp at the buzzer to extend the lead to 50-31. As River got a little momentum in the quarter, with the score at 41-27, Fort Frye's Michelle Adkins hit a 3-ball followed by a layup from Combs to give the Cadets a little cushion.
In the final quarter, Natalie Hart came off the bench to hit a 3-pointer and Megan Liedtke had a putback to make the score 61-36 in Fort Frye's favor. Two made free throws by Shawntell Parsons made the final score 63-36.
"I knew they were gonna come in, definitely ready to go and come after us," Liedtke said. "I thought we played well at first. We weren't consistent enough, but it's still early. We're gonna keep working on it."
For River, Cassidy McCullough was the leading scoring with 10 points. Ramsey finished with nine points while Jensen Caretti had eight. Caretti also had a game-high eight rebounds.
Fort Frye outshot River 47 percent (25-for-53) to 41 percent (13-for-32). Both teams shot well from the foul line, with Fort Frye going 10-for-14 and River going 9-of-13. The Cadets held a big advantage in rebounding with 34 to River's 15, and also won the turnover battle 20-15.
The Cadets improved to 4-0 (2-0 PVC) with the victory, while River fell to 4-1. Fort Frye also won the junior varsity game 36-13.
The Lady Cadets are back in action in a non-conference game at home against Waterford at 6 p.m. Saturday.

Fish oil can help lower lipid levels, prevent heart disease and reduce inflammation, but it can also contain dangerous chemicals. Fish oil may contain small amounts of a class of chemical called polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, which have been banned in the United States. You can limit your PCB consumption by selecting fish oil supplements low in these toxins or by eating specific fish less likely to have higher PCB levels.
Fish Oil
Certain fish, including mackerel, lake trout, salmon, sardines, herring and anchovies, contain significant amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids may help lower blood pressure and the levels of a type of fat called triglycerides. As a result, they are often used to help prevent heart disease and stroke. The fats found in fish oil may also aid in the treatment of psychiatric disorders, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression and psychosis. Fish oil may also help in treating diabetes, asthma, psoriasis, kidney disease and osteoporosis. Supplements containing distilled fish oil are commercially available for people who are looking to benefit from fish oil without regularly consuming fatty fish.
PCBs are members of a broad family of man-made chemicals called chlorinated hydrocarbons that were made from 1929 until they were banned in 1979. They were used for hundreds of commercial and industrial products, including electrical equipment, paint, rubber, plastics, dyes and carbonless copy paper. PCBs were banned in the United States in 1979 because of their negative health effects. PCBs increase the risk of developing cancer, including liver cancer and malignant melanoma. They may also weaken your immune system, damage your nerves and affect fetal development.
PCBs and Fish
Although PCBs have been banned for years, they can still be found in some bodies of water, particularly the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River. Smaller fish absorb some of these PCBs, and when they are eaten by larger fish, the PCBs begin moving up the food chain. Fish oil supplements made with these PCB-contaminated fish will also contain PCBs, although the amount varies depending on the type of fish used in the supplement.
Minimizing PCB Intake
Not all fish oil supplements have the same levels of PCBs. According to FishOilSafety.com, fish oil supplements with high levels of PCBs include Now Foods Salmon Oil and Double Strength Cod Liver Oil. In addition, Nature Made Cod Liver Oil and Now Foods Shark Oil were found to have high levels of PCB toxicity. The supplements tested with the lowest PCB levels were from TwinLab and Solgar. If you are concerned about PCBs in fish, focus on eating smaller fish with shorter lifespans, as they are less likely to have a significant accumulation of PCBs in their bodies.

NEW YORK: Billionaire investor George Soros said US lawmakers should refrain from withdrawing stimulus measures because the economy hasn't strengthened enough.
"I think the timing is wrong with withdrawing the stimulus," Soros said at the Hamptons Institute in East Hampton, New York on July 16. "Cutting employment benefits, cutting aid to states that are losing tax revenue, these are counterproductive because you can only grow your way out" of the financial crisis, said Soros, who turns 80 next month.
Soros noted that there are no signs of inflation in the US, where 10-year Treasury notes are now trading below 3%, the lowest level so far this year. Soros, who is the chairman of New York-based Soros Fund Management, has made similar comments about Europe and the need for Germany to refrain from cutting back its own deficit spending. The result will send Europe into a deflationary cycle, he said.

A Quote by Foundation for Inner Peace on the holy instant
Trust not your good intentions. They are not enough. But trust implicitly your willingness, whatever else may enter. Concentrate only on this, and be not disturbed that shadows surround it. That is why you came. If you could come without them you would not need the holy instant. Come to it not in arrogance, assuming that you must achieve the state its coming brings with it The miracle of the holy instant lies in your willingness to let it be what it is. And in your willingness for this lies also your acceptance of yourself as you were meant to be.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. (WYMT) - There are a handful of high school softball programs in the eastern half of Kentucky that are competitive at the state level. In fact, Middlesboro and North Laurel are the only two to win a state title. It's taken some time, but the rest of the region is slowly catching up to programs from the western side of the state.
If you follow high school softball in Kentucky, it's easy to see the difference in competition between the western and eastern parts of the state but the gap is quickly closing, and coaches are taking notice.
"It's amazing how much it has grown (in Eastern Kentucky)," says Steven Murphy, head softball coach at Glasgow High School. "I've been a head coach now for five years, and at the class A level and at the state level, that we see, teams are highly developed and they're very competitive."
"The younger girls, the young ladies that are getting involved in the sport now. It's just tremendous for our area here in the Mountains," adds J.D. Hughes, who will be entering his first year as head coach of the Pikeville High School softball program.
For the past two years, players in Eastern Kentucky have been treated to special instruction from Olympic gold medalist Jennie Finch, and it's things like Finch's camp that have led to the increased interest in the sport.
"The talent level that we see here, it gets better and better each and every year, and things like this, Jennie Finch, her second year here, that just adds to the growing, the interest," says Hughes.
"Softball is a growing sport here and it's so exciting to see the growth of it," says Finch, a member of the United States' gold medal team in the 2004 Olympic Games. "It's so fun to come to these small towns and see the excitement and love for the game."
You just have to look at the last two seasons to see the improved play on the field. Both Pikeville and Magoffin County have recently made runs to the semifinals of the All 'A' state tournament.
"We wanted to take advantage of the talent that we have here in Eastern Kentucky, so I think maybe that's a lot of reason for the growth," says Sean Cochran, Director of Attractions for the City of Pikeville. "It's been phenomenal, it really is. We just can't say enough about what's going on."
And if the trend continues, maybe it won't be too much longer before a team returns home as softball state champion.

i am 16 years old and am female, i currently have a really bad pain on my lower right side, just below my ribcage and to the left a little. i have had this pain for eye on a week now but is gettin worse, i can barely move, its like a constant pain with added shooting pains which occur when i move. i can honestly say ive never felt something quite so painful and has reduced me to tears a few times! the pain its self feels like someone is stabbing me, no matter what position i sit, lay or stand i can not seem to get rid of this pain i have taken god knows how many painkillers but they seem to only take the edge off it a little bit not quite enough. i have tried to get a doctors oppointment but they say they are fully booked for atleast a week!! please someone help what could this be?? or is anybody else having the same problem as i am?? anyone got any ideas on what may help ease the pain?? please write back, thanks :(READ MORE
If you can barely move and the pain is getting worse I really think you should see someone - if necessary go to the emergency room.
Appendicitis pain is usually on the lower right side side of the abdomen but it can also occur elsewhere. Its usually accompanied by fever and bowel changes - but not always.
There are a whole raft of things - from serious to relatively minor - that could be causing this. If you're in this much pain and it's not getting better I think you should see a doctor as soon as you can. Good luck!
ok thanks alot for ure help, i will do that first thing tomorrow as everyone is sleeping at the moment, thankfully i think ive taken enough painkillers to ease the pain quite abit for the time being as its isnt too sharp at the moment thank god! should be ok till morning!READ MORE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 19, 2011
Commissioners Underscore the Need to Tap the Talents of All New Yorkers and Encourage Individuals With Disabilities to Report Employment Discrimination
The New York City Commission on Human Rights Commissioner/Chair Patricia L. Gatling and the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities (MOPD) Commissioner Matthew Sapolin mark National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), underscoring the need to tap the talents of all New Yorkers and encourage individuals with disabilities to report employment discrimination. Designated by the U.S. Congress each October, NDEAM increases the public's awareness of the contributions and skills of American workers with disabilities and reaffirms a commitment to ensuring equal employment opportunities to all citizens.
"People with disabilities have a right to participate fully in all areas of life, including employment, housing, public accommodations, and are protected from discrimination under the City Human Rights Law," said Commissioner Gatling. "We raise people's consciousness about equal opportunity and equal access under the Human Rights Law through this national awareness campaign and our citywide public education efforts."
"Since joining this Administration, I have made it a top priority to spread the message that people with disabilities are a valued force in the workplace," said Commissioner Sapolin. "This October, we will continue to follow this Congressional mandate and pledge our resources to ensure that employers realize and take advantage of the potential that lies within all those who seek employment."
The NYC Commission on Human Rights (the Commission) vigorously enforces the City Human Rights Law based on a number of protected classes – including disability -- protecting New Yorkers and visitors from discrimination, and educates them about the law. In employment, the law protects members of the disabled community from discrimination in hiring and firing, work assignments, salary, benefits, promotions, performance evaluations, and discipline.
Under the law, disability is broadly defined as any physical, medical, mental, or psychological impairment, or a history or record of an impairment. If you have a disability, your employer is required to make a reasonable accommodation to enable you to fulfill the requirements of your job. The employer may ask for written documentation from your health care provider to support the request. A prospective employer may not ask a job applicant about the existence, nature or severity of a disability, although you may be asked about your ability to perform specific job functions. The employer may not make medical inquiries or conduct a medical examination of you, the applicant, until a job offer has been made. Medical examinations of employees must be job-related and consistent with the employer's business needs.
The Commission's law enforcement and public education disability efforts also include the areas of housing and public accommodations, such as stores, restaurants, museums, doctor's offices. Additional Commission disability efforts include the following.
Each October, MOPD serves as the local coordinator for the American Association for People With Disabilities' (AAPD) National Disability Mentoring Day (DMD), which pairs disabled students and job-seeker mentees with potential employer-mentors in a one day job shadowing experience in the field of the mentees' choice. MOPD works year-round on this endeavor, which has paired hundreds of mentees with mentors. DMD takes place this year on Wednesday, October 19, 2011, and will conclude with a reception hosted by Citigroup.
Some of the DMD endeavors that MOPD has hosted this year include:
Other endeavors launched by MOPD in order to create employment opportunities for people with disabilities include: working closely with Abilities, the nation's oldest 501(c)3 not-for-profit, employment placement service for people with disabilities; working with members of the Global Workforce Diversity group at International Business Machines Corp. (IBM), one of the world's leading companies specializing in computer technology, to partner with the city on a program for students with disabilities that would focus on science, technology, engineering and mathematics; serving on the Business Advisory Board for Bergtraum High School for Business Careers, which provides encouragement and opportunities for the disabled to enter the workforce; and providing outreach and training regarding the city's "55-a Program", a program that demonstrates the city's commitment to improving the representation of persons with disabilities within its work force by allowing persons who have been certified as physically or mentally disabled to apply for civil service positions on a non-competitive basis and without the requirement of a written or oral examination.
The NYC Commission on Human Rights enforces the New York City Human Rights Law, one of the most comprehensive civil rights laws in the nation. The law prohibits discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations based on race, color, creed, age, national origin, alienage or citizenship status, gender (including gender identity and sexual harassment), sexual orientation, disability, marital status, and partnership status. In addition, the Law affords protection against discrimination in employment based on arrest or conviction record and status as a victim of domestic violence, stalking and sex offenses. In housing, the Law affords additional protections based on lawful occupation, family status, and any lawful source of income. The City Human Rights Law also prohibits retaliation and bias-related harassment, (including cyberbullying).
The Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities, established in 1973, serves as a liaison between city government and disabled individuals, as well as organizations dedicated to improving the lives of New Yorkers with disabilities.

Party Games, Book 4
Lillian McDermott can't complain about the years she's spent at the top of a career she never wanted. But modelling gave her everything. Amazing experiences and enough money to leave it all behind to start her own perfume and fashion label.
The one thing it didn't give her is Mackenzie Harris, photojournalist. Her brother's best friend. The man who sees her only as a surrogate little sister. Now, at the launch party for the next phase of her life, she's done waiting. She's going to rock Mac's world until ignoring her is the last thing on his mind.
Mac isn't blind to Lilli's charms, and he never has been. But no best mate screws around with a little sister, no matter how tempting. No matter how much he wants to show her exactly how he'd like to respond to her teasing. But this time she's gone too far, and he's not backing down. She started it, and he's going to finish it.
One spin of the bottle turns friends to lovers. But as the boundaries come down, everything changes. Including what they thought they believed about the other.
Playing this game will result in breathless sexual anticipation, smoldering sexual chemistry and scorching sexual tension. And then the fun really starts...

World Cup Fever Grips Prague for Mystic's 20th Anniversary
As World Cup fever nears a crescendo and Brazil's footballers move to the semi-finals, that country's best skateboarders are also battling to win a cup in the Czech capital. This weekend they joined with other global legends in Prague for the jubilee 20th annual Mystic Skate Cup.
Brazil's Leticia Bufoni took first place Sunday in the women's division at Mystic in the heart of the Czech capital city, while Pedro Barros, the 2013 World Cup bowl champion from Florianopolis, Brazil, took second place in the men's bowl competition, just behind Alex Sorgente of the United States.
In addition to the anniversary since Mystic Cup's founding in 1994, 2014 is full of historic symbolism in central Europe. Twenty-five years ago the Berlin Wall fell, Poland held its first partially free elections and the Velvet Revolution ushered in a new era in the then Czechoslovakia.
Now with a quarter-century of freedom in the rear-view mirror and two decades of rough and tumble skateboarding in the history books, Prague is a firm fixture on the world stage.
To commemorate this 20-year milestone, organizers built an entirely new street course and rebuilt the sumptuous Mystic bowl, steps that helped attract stars to try their luck in Prague, including American legend Christian Hosoi.
"It's great to be here in Prague for the first time. It's an amazing place, amazing people, the food is great, culture is great. Thank you for having us," said a sweaty Mr. Hosoi moments after the legends competition in the bowl.
Mr. Hosoi, who came to fame in the 1980s skating vert ramps alongside legends such as Tony Hawk, took first place in the legends segment.
The men's street competition was won by Martin Pek, a local. It was only the second time in 20 years a Czech has won Mystic Cup street division.
California's Dave Duncan, who has been master of ceremonies in Prague's Mystic Cup stop for the last 19 years, said that the city of Prague and its people offer something special that keeps fans and competitors coming back year after year.

Free internet. Confortable room.
Far from city center.
easy to reach, just pull over from the E75 highway, can't miss it, you have good signs...breakfast was good enough with more or less fresh good stuff to eat - buffet, all you can eat..room was decent, no complains
There was no billboard with room prices, and most of all, there's was no exchange rate for paying in Euro (which me and many others did)..didn't feel i was getting whole picture of the exchange rate..they were deciding on the spot how many euros you had to give them..morevoer,booking was for 49 euro, they took exactly 50 with no change..they should be more clear..
Super attentive and friendly staff. Within walking distance from anything in old Belgrade. Good free breakfast.
Bed and sofa bed could have been more comfortable with different mattresses. Had a leak in bathroom above us, but we were moved to a different room immediately, so I liked the quick attention to the problem b
Front desk personnel Mira and Maria are really nice, professional and helpful. Breakfast, indoors swimming pool as well as the saunas are also great.. Easiness in taking a downtown bus , request a taxi and,, a around the corner mini market is quite conve nient.
The room was clean, nice and comfortable. The location is nice, located in a quiet area, with free parking on place. Even we delay our arrival with one day - we pay only two nights, without any tax.
Very clean hotel, breakfast was good. Hotel stuff were helpful.
Hotel is in outside of city, but has car park, if you have car, location is not important. Price/perofmance is perfect.
Cleanliness and comfort and allowing a pet-dog
Everything was OK
no parking for my car, had to park on the street.. But since I arrived at 2200 and left at 7 in the morning I had no bigger problems... would like to stay a longer period next time
Free tour
Cheap public transport
Nice and helpful people
Privet transportion are expensive from the airport
Clean and new looking hotel, professional staff. The hotel is easy to find.
Cockroaches in otherwise clean room (because the area under the bed cannot be cleaned).
The behaviour of the staff. Very polite, very friendly, very professional.
people very nice and helpful the view from the restaurant and from the room very beautiful clean room
no complaint except very dificult to find
A good omelet was brought for breakfast as well as a tasteful capuchino). Friendly staff, nice view and private parking (quite useful wheb you are there with a dutch car).
Hotel was not that easy to find, quite a long distance from the centre (but that is mentioned when booking) and the room and bathroom were quite small.
Thoroughly enjoyed the spa during a 3-hour treatment.
Staff was also very friendly and helpful
No major complaints. Would have enjoyed softer towels and better lighting in the hallway, a lot of lights were out and gave a creepy feeling to my floor.
Staff was excellent. They were extremely nice and very helpful. Food was fantastic. Tennis courts were well maintained.
Hotel was a bit noisy. Room doors need oil, every time someone would open a room door, every room could hear. The hotel also hosts a number of weddings, the music could be heard in our room.
Fantastic staff - could not haver been better - welcoming, friendly, attentive and accommodating. Fantastic location as well.
The breakfast was poor and the food quality was not as good as could have been.
The breakfast was disappointing - not much choice and the food wasn't of that great a quality.
This hotel met and exceeded all expectations. The staff was courteous and accommodating to a special request.
Small room comaprative to the price paid
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.
If you have more questions or if you have a bad price to report to us,
please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Old Man No Longer MP
pual ipulpiri
Posted Dec 13, 2011 9:58 AM
Whatever, with due respect to the old man, Parliament declared ESP Seat vacant last Friday. He cannot occupy a seat unless that decision is reversed. Mr. Constitution is right about some things, ONeill is not my MP but for his info, Parliemnt is supreme and Parliament elects Prime Ministers or otherwise. That is the situation, you cannot annul it, court had its day yesterday, now we all head to Nape's turf which is the Parliemnt where decisions and laws are made.
I dont care who is PM but we want to weed out corruption. If the Old man gets in, he should not appoint Tiensten, Pruaitch, Arthur as Ministers. They are the kitchencabinet that destroyed his fine political history. Am also fed up with Amet's continous verbal diarhorea, why was he silent when NA govt bent the rules over 9 solid years. What a mess.
At this stage ONeill is PM-Elect. GG will still swear him in. Thats the reality as ESP Seat is by law now vacant. Old man does not have a seat in Parliament now.

Evelyn Comstock acted as spokesperson for the 25 parents and young people who attended the regular City Council meeting Monday to express their interest in seeing a skatepark built here.
"They really would love to have this in Sikeston," Comstock said. She said Jackson, Scott City, Portageville and New Madrid are already in the process of building community skateparks.
"We obviously have a lot of kids involved in this sport," Comstock said, noting that business owners frequently run skateboarders off because they are afraid the skaters will get hurt on their property.
Comstock said she has noted that a skatepark is listed among Sikeston's future projects and asked about moving it up the list.
"They're really interested," she said of the local skaters. "It's a good sport. It keeps them off the computer or playing games in front of the TV."
Jiggs Moore, parks division director, confirmed the city's Five-Year Capital Improvements Plan lists $60,000 for a skatepark, which is about the same amount spent by Jackson on theirs. The $60,000 figure includes about $20,000 for a concrete pad and another $40,000 for ramps and other features, according to Moore. New Madrid's skatepark is reportedly being built for about $40,000 as an old tennis court is being used as the concrete base.
Councilman Jerry Pullen asked where a skatepark could be located.
Moore said the two primary sites being considered are Central Park and the Sports Complex.
Central Park would be a good location as there are no major thoroughfares for skaters to cross to get to it and it has plenty of room, according to Moore.
He said the Sports Complex would also be good as there are already many sports facilities there and a skatepark would "add to that comprehensive recreational theme for that park."
Moore said the Jackson skatepark received funding from two Optimist clubs.
Mayor Mike Marshall acknowledged he runs skaters off his business and that a skatepark "is a fair, legitimate request."
Marshall suggested those in favor of a skatepark should raise money to help pay for the facility as the Parks Department has a lot of other expenses to pay for out of its budget. "I think the city would do their part," he said.
"I've been for it for several years," Councilman Jerry Pullen said. "Could we come up with part of the money? Could the city come up with some kind of match?"
Karen Bailey, deputy city clerk, said insurance is not a problem and should not incur any additional cost for a skatepark.
Marshall agreed to have the city issue a letter of support to assist the skaters in their grassroots fundraising efforts and suggested a committee be formed to decide on a location.

Safety Valve: Letters from readers
Everyone deserves care
Most people form their values based on their own sense of right and wrong. In the Nov. 22 article regarding Obamacare, Greg Evans of Shelton is upset because it allows people who don't make as much money as he does to qualify for subsidies, providing the same level of insurance that he pays "three times as much" for. Does he intend to imply that low-wage workers aren't entitled to the same level of care as those with higher salaries, simply by virtune of income?

There are many things that could cause symptoms like that -- a
misconfigured NFS server, broken name services, strange shell
extensions, serial problems, and even hardware trouble. You need to
narrow down the search space.
The first thing I'd do is get the system into this state, with a hung
terminal session. Then, without terminating that one, log in via a
separate terminal session. Find the original stuck session using
`ptree'. Then use `pstack' and `truss' to find out what those stuck
processes are doing.
If that doesn't reveal anything, use `mdb' with this command:
::threadlist -v ! less
Look around for the stuck processes and examine the kernel stacks
associated with them. This may provide clues about what the process
is attempting to do and why it's stuck.
Of course, you could also call Sun's support group.

Thanks Dirk!
I have a question: two of the RBL zones have very similar names -
nospam.login-solutions.de and nospam.login-solutions.ag. Do they belong
to the same company, and what are the differences between them? Eg. do
they both contain exactly the same data (hashes) as each other, or are
there some differences between them, such that it's adviseable to use them
both? (I also noted that in your latest .cf file, you score each one
differently - 4.5 vs. 2.5).

you have the version corresponding to your SA version. The new version

Yepp, there's a difference.
First of all, both domains belong to the company I work for, Login &
Solutions AG. I was allowed to use them for this project, and they provide
some hosting for me as well, so I simply have to say 'Thank you' here.
The difference is that the .de domain is fed by input that's either
visually checked or stems from dedicated spamtraps, so I'm quite confident
the hashes contained really mark spam.
The .ag domain contains hashes either from feedback loops (ie. end users)
or from mails marked as spam by other systems. Thus there's a higher risk
of getting FPs from that list - hence the lower score.
My advice is to score the .de domain a bit higher but YMMV. mass-check

By SAMANTHA BOMKAMP
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The price of oil jumped the most in a month Tuesday as investors, along with voters across the country, awaited the results of the U.S. presidential election.
Benchmark crude rose $3.06, or 3.5 percent, to finish at $88.71 per barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, which is used to price international varieties of oil, surged $3.34, or 3.1 percent, to $111.07 a barrel in London.
But it's still a far cry from the rise in oil the last time U.S. presidential ballots were cast in the midst of the financial crisis. Crude gained more than 10 percent on Nov. 4, 2008, as the Dow Jones industrial average rallied 305 points. On election day in 2000, the most hotly contested election in U.S. history, oil gained a more modest 1.6 percent.
What the market is signaling about the election's outcome is unclear. Analyst Phil Flynn said an Obama administration in favor of tougher regulations could boost oil prices by making it tougher to increase production. But a Republican administration that supports major oil companies could also, in theory, lead to higher prices.
Other factors may have boosted oil Tuesday. Traders are still assessing the full impact of Superstorm Sandy on gasoline supplies and fuel demand in the U.S. Northeast. One major refinery owned by Phillips 66 remains offline. And Greece holds a critical vote this week on a new austerity package that will impose further wage and benefit cuts.
In other energy futures trading in New York:
— Wholesale gasoline rose 8 cents to end at $2.70 a gallon.
— Heating oil rose 7 cents to $3.05 a gallon.
— Natural gas rose 6 cents $3.62 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Try to get organized before you start census searching
Have maps or map
links handy including help for boundary changes. Wikipedia is very good
about having township maps and histories. Visually look at where a person
is living.
Check out The FamilySearch U.S. Wiki which will tell you if something happened to a state or county census as well as all kinds of other good information.
If you plan to print the census images you will save ink by learning to crop them first. Make sure you write the state, county, year etc. on the side or back as many early census do not have proper headers.
If you plan to save the images for your genealogy program make a folder to keep them in so they are all in one place.
If you are new to census searching go to Ancestry's (free) printable census forms and make a copy for each year which will tell you exactly what was being asked and what is in each column without a lot of squinting and scrolling.
If you are transcribing the census and don't want to use a form do it on a full sheet of notebook paper (as opposed to scraps) that can be filed or placed in a binder
Try to get in the habit of using a Census Inventory Form which will quickly tell you if you have found everyone in the family for all census years.
Be thorough. If you are working with Thomas and Lucy and their five kids try to follow out the entire family on all census where they might appear before jumping to another generation. Don't skip any years. Don't ignore any of the children.
Though some people got missed (particularly if they were "on the move") most census problems are caused by one of these things:
incorrect indexing / bad handwriting
inventive spelling
they aren't where you expect them
initials or nicknames
Where to find census records
At this point Ancestry.com has the most complete census and indexing to census. They not only have every name indexes to all U.S. Census they have many state and territorial census and also have census for Canada and the British Isles if you subscribe to the World Edition
FamilySearch Pilot is free and most years now have an every name index but they are still working on 1930.
HeritageQuest is free to residents of North Central Washington. You access this site by going to the North Central Regional Library Web at http://www.ncrl.org/ Choose the tab at the top that says Research & Homework where you find a link to Heritage Quest under their Research section. You will need your library card # to sign in and if you don't have one of those you may visit the public library to get one or email at the website to have one issued and mailed to you.
Heritage Quest has ALL U.S. Federal Census but not all census is fully indexed
and some years are not indexed at all.
check the Census page here at the WVC site
don't forget the power of Google. "1860 census" "Brown County" Ohio will pull up transcribed census if it is out there somewhere on a genealogy site.
A lot has changed for census users as new records have come on line. As you find a family you can use other tools to help you along - particularly vital records or information about the people around them.
Marriage information is neccesary to good census searching because it lets you know who the daughters and sisters marry and what becomes of your widowed grandmother.
has many marriage databases
FamilySearch Pilot has made a huge push on vital records
if they lived and died in Washington check the Washington State Digital Archives Site for vital records.
If you are not finding what you want try Googling "Ohio Marriages" or "Jones County Iowa" marriages
If you don't know when they died you can't be sure if you have lost them on the census or they are not around anymore!
Try using
the databases above but also check:
For 20th century people try the Social Security Death Index (Ancestry's version is good and does not require membership)
Online Searchable Death Indexes and Records will let you know if the state you are researching in has death records online
pre-death record years try hunting for the cemetery record at
Find-a-Grave or check the
state/county pages at GenWeb
Family Tree sites like Ancestry World Tree and RootsWeb's World Connect are also very helpful - particularly for sneaking a peek at the neighbors.

Taylor Swift's Hair is Great, But Not That Great
2/13/2014 3:30 AM PST, by Sarah Taylor
No offense to Taylor Swift whatsoever, of course -- her hair likely looks better in her worst moments (and after a half-day-long flight) than most of ours does on our best, but this photo is evidence that even celebrities with a disposable income, and who have access to the world's most prolific stylists, are still subject to the letdown of that new haircut smell after the first few days of rocking it hard.
This is Taylor arriving at LAX last night, and even though she looks super cute, it's plain as the nose on her face that she washed her hair sometime after getting it cut ... and did the dreaded job of blowdrying the style right out of it.
Still looking great, though, girl -- we totally prefer you with this new, shorter look!

FDA Continues to Issue Warning Letters for Illegal Tobacco Sales to Minors
Every day nearly 4,000 kids under 18 try their first cigarette and 1,000 kids under 18 become daily smokers. Virtually all new users of tobacco products are under the minimum legal age to purchase such products. Many of these kids will become addicted before they are old enough to understand the risks and will ultimately die too young of tobacco-related diseases.
FDA is working to protect the health of America's children and ultimately reduce the burden of illness and death caused by tobacco use by enforcing the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act) and Regulations Restricting the Sale and Distribution of Cigarettes and Smokeless Tobacco to Protect Children and Adolescents. This regulation, which took effect on June 22, 2010, limits the sale, distribution, and marketing of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco to protect the health of children and adolescents.
FDA works to inform retailers about these laws through the Break the Chain of Tobacco Addition campaign. FDA will also host a series of Compliance Training for Tobacco Retailers, to be held on March 29, April 26, May 18, June 28, July 26, and September 20, 2011, to provide retailers with training on federal tobacco regulations.
Last year, in order to help enforce these laws, FDA awarded contracts to 15 states to assist in inspecting retail establishments that sell cigarettes and/or smokeless tobacco products. In the upcoming years, FDA plans to award enforcement contracts to all states and U.S. territories to assist with enforcement of the Tobacco Control Act.
The goal of the State Enforcement Program is to improve public health and to protect young people by bringing enforcement action against retailers who violate the law. State inspectors under these FDA enforcement contracts conduct compliance check inspections to determine if retailers comply with the law, including whether the retailer:
- sells a tobacco product to a minor;
- requests proper identification;
- sells prohibited flavored cigarettes or individual cigarettes; and
- sells tobacco products in a self-service display, like a vending machine, which can be accessed by minors.
We appreciate the efforts and commitment of all states who have contracted with FDA to assist in enforcing the Tobacco Control Act and FDA regulation. More than 95 Warning Letters have been issued to retailers for illegal sales of cigarettes and/or smokeless tobacco to minors. FDA's website posts Warning Letters that have been issued as well as a list of retailers that have been inspected and where no violations were observed.
We encourage anyone who is aware of retailers who may violate the Tobacco Control Act to report violations to FDA's Center for Tobacco Products through our website, by email or by phone (1-877-CTP-1373).
Thank you,
Ann Simoneau
Director, Office of Compliance and Enforcement
New Spanish-Language Website Increases Access to FDA Tobacco Information
I am pleased to announce that many portions of FDA's Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) website are now available in Spanish. This new resource for the Spanish-speaking community will provide key information to our stakeholders in our common goal of reducing the tremendous toll of illness and death from tobacco use through FDA's new role in tobacco product regulation. By increasing access to our content to the Spanish-speaking public we not only increase the reach of our message, but also make further in-roads into communities that play a key role in tackling this important public health issue.
Over the last several months, I've heard from many stakeholders in a number of ways about the overall need for CTP to provide key tobacco product information in different languages. This was echoed by a request from a woman named Sarah who submitted a request for low-literacy handouts in multiple languages to our CTP Tobacco Ideas Forum (which is a novel way for the public to submit a thought and then have it voted on by other stakeholders). Input like this from the general public, combined with what we've learned through many other communication channels, has led to the launch of this Spanish-version website. The first of several plain language handouts similar to what Sarah, and many others have requested, as well as a variety of free resources and tools are now available. These include:
- The Break the Chain of Tobacco Addiction retailer education campaign web area, which includes translated printed materials that can be ordered online;
- An digital timeline of the Tobacco Control Act, which highlights past achievements and upcoming deadlines required by the Act;
- Multiple ways to connect with the us through social media;
- Federal resources on youth tobacco prevention, effective treatment for nicotine addiction, and tobacco research and statistics;
- And much more!
I encourage you to check out www.fda.gov/tabaco and let us know what you think. I also hope you will contribute to the CTP Tobacco Ideas Forum. We are listening and want your ideas to improve our efforts to effectively disseminate information about FDA tobacco regulations and to develop innovative ways to educate the public about the dangers of tobacco products use.
Thank you

Help Reduce the Health Burden of Tobacco Use in America—Comment on the New Proposed Graphic Health Warning Labels for Cigarette Packs and Advertisements
Cigarette smoking kills an estimated 443,000 Americans each year, most of whom began smoking when they were under the age of 18. Tobacco use is the foremost preventable cause of premature death in America, and has been shown to cause cancer, heart disease, and other serious adverse health effects. Nearly 50,000 deaths annually are attributed to non-smokers' exposure to secondhand smoke. That's why today, we took another important step to protect the health of the American public from the toll of disease, disability and death caused by tobacco use in this county.
Earlier this morning, I joined Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, Assistant Secretary for Health Dr. Howard Koh and FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg to announce a proposal to require new and prominent health warnings on all cigarette packages, cartons and advertisements.
While most Americans know in general terms that tobacco is harmful, few know the key facts of how damaging tobacco is to their own health and the health of those around them. The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, a bill passed by an overwhelming majority of Congress, gave FDA the authority to require new, larger, and more prominent health warnings on packages and in advertising.
For cigarettes packs, cartons and ads, there will be nine warning statements and, for the first time, the FDA will require these warning labels to include color graphics clearly depicting the negative health consequences of smoking.
The Tobacco Control Act also requires the warning statements to appear on the upper 50 percent of the front and rear panels of every cigarette package. Graphic health warnings will also occupy at least 20 percent of the upper portion of every cigarette advertisement. The inclusion of larger and more noticeable graphic health warnings on packages and in advertisements will clearly and effectively convey the negative health consequences of smoking to educate all Americans about the health risks of cigarettes. The goal of course is to help encourage current smokers to quit, and discourage nonsmokers, including youth, from starting to use cigarettes.
Everyone has the opportunity to comment directly on these proposed warnings and to help FDA choose the graphic health warnings required by law for use on cigarette packages and advertisements from Friday, November 12, 2010 through Tuesday, January 11, 2011. I encourage you to view the proposed warnings at www.fda.gov/cigarettewarnings and submit a comment so your suggestions can be officially considered for the final decision on how to do this, which will be issued by June 22, 2011.
Thank you

text: General Motors is certainly finding ways to spend the $50 billion taxpayer infusion they received less than two years ago. Anyone watching the Super Bowl witnessed a heavy GM presence with ads running pre-game, game time, post-game and even during a special Chevy sponsored Glee episode afterwards. The Chevy logo was predominately displayed, sometimes taking up nearly half of the TV screen, during the post game show that featured GM benevolently giving a new Chevy Camaro to Super Bowl MVP, Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers made about $9 million in 2010, but I'm sure he still appreciates the nice car that taxpayers helped pay for.

The "Linux release season" is starting to come to an end as the last few major distributions are coming out with their latest release, most notably Linux Mint. This time around the Linux Mint developers have released version 13, codenamed "Maya". As far as major releases go, Linux Mint 13 doesn't have a whole lot to offer as far as changes are concerned, but it is still a very solid update that rides on Ubuntu 12.04's LTS (long-term support) status. Therefore, Linux Mint 13 will be supported through April 2017 as it is based on Ubuntu and its packages. However, don't confuse it as another Ubuntu, as it does include big differences.
MATE Desktop
The "original" Linux Mint (not including KDE or Xfce variants) comes in two different desktop environments. The first one, called MATE, is simply the continuation of Gnome 2 in a separate project as upstream Gnome 2 has been abandoned. Linux Mint 13 includes MATE 1.2, which includes a handful of incremental updates since MATE was born and Gnome 2 had its final release. The MATE experience picks up exactly where Gnome 2 left off, so if you've been a fan of Gnome 2 and want to go back to using it, MATE is your answer.
Cinnamon Desktop
The other desktop environment you can choose is Cinnamon. This desktop environment is based off of Gnome 3's packages, and essentially uses everything that is Gnome 3 except for Gnome Shell. Instead, Cinnamon offers a more Gnome 2-like desktop experience. Therefore, Cinnamon doesn't have a learning curve that hinders its use as it's as easy as MATE. Even Windows users trying Linux Mint for the first time won't have any problem from the get-go. Linux Mint 13 includes Cinnamon 1.4, which offers an "Expo" view of your open applications, new panel settings, and plenty more which you can read about in the release notes here.
Say Hello To MDM
Linux Mint 13 also replaces the Gnome Display Manager (GDM) with the MDM Display Manager (MDM). MDM is based off of GDM 2.20, which was among the last GDM releases that accompanied Gnome 2. People have always missed the old GDM because of all the things that could be easily configured, such as themes, scripts, and more. Linux Mint says "it provides graphical configuration tools, theme customizations, remote, automatic and timed login, event scripting, language selection and it comes with more features than any other Display Manager currently available."
Miscellaneous Notes
Last but not least, Linux Mint 13 includes a few other subtle changes to round out the release. GTK3 support has been improved and the distribution's Mint-X and Mint-Z themes have been updated. Of course, the choice of default wallpapers has also been refreshed with new choices. The developers have also replaced Duck Duck Go! with Yahoo! as the default search engine. This move was made because the developers had reached a deal with Yahoo!, and are now receiving shared revenue with the search engine. Linux Mint also uses Ubuntu's Linux 3.2 kernels for this release cycle.
Overall, is Linux Mint 13 a worthy upgrade? Absolutely! Despite the relatively subtle changes, a lot of software has been updated, the desktop environments (especially Cinnamon) have been refined, and it is running very stable. Not to mention that this release has support for 5 years, it's more of a question why you wouldn't want to upgrade. And if you aren't a Linux Mint user, now is a good time to try it out if you've been considering doing so.
What's your favorite Linux Mint feature? Will Ubuntu or Linux Mint be more popular than the other in a few years? Let us know in the comments!

February is African American History Month!
African American art
This article was excerpted from Africana: The Encyclopedia of the African and African American Experience, Second Edition. Edited by Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Kwame Anthony Appiah. Oxford University Press, April 2005.
By Richard J. Powell
Abstraction and Realism during the Postwar Years
This balancing act between a race consciousness in art and visual assimilation into the white cultural mainstream — exemplified most emphatically in a nonfigurative, abstract art — was undermined by several artists in the post-World War II years. The work of these artists — decidedly abstract and expressionistic yet at times referential to Africa, black America, and to the evolving civil rights struggle — necessitated an altogether different definition of what was then described as modern Negro art. At the forefront of this new paradigm was Hale Woodruff, whose integration of African-design motifs into his colorful, large-scale canvases stood alongside an enigmatic and symbol-laden painterly abstraction in works by other painters. Similarly, a 1950s brand of New York School abstraction was defined in part by the "all-over" compositions of painter Norman Lewis. Lewis, a master of visual wit, irony, and critique, figured in contradistinction to another abstractionist, Beauford Delaney, who wavered between completely nonillusionistic, gestural canvases and thickly painted, expressive portraits.
In the midst of this moment when abstract art was considered the status quo, several figurative artists, among them Hughie Lee-Smith and Charles White, achieved broad recognition. Lee-Smith painted desolate, urban landscapes inhabited by solitary people of different ages and sexes and across the racial spectrum. White, whose career dated back to the 1930s, produced in the 1950s a series of monumental crayon and ink drawings of idealized African American figures. These works, when thematically framed by the news reports of civil rights bus boycotts, lunch-counter sit-ins, and attacks on black protesters by angry whites, took on an even greater power than their abstract counterparts in explicitly communicating something about African American aspirations and dreams. Minnie Evans and James Hampton, although far removed from the New York art scene in their respective communities of Wilmington, North Carolina, and Washington, DC, created powerful artistic statements during this period that not only reintroduced so called folk elements into the art world, but added a spiritual dimension to black visual culture as well.
The two 1960s artists whose careers and products may be considered to have formed a bridge between the visual past (the omnipresent black figure, overtures to visual modernism, and the need to acknowledge the politics of race) and a visual future for African American art (artistic singularity over racial unity, narrational/perceptual simultaneity, and the interjecting of class, gender, and sexuality into art) are Bob Thompson and Romare Bearden. The colorful, silhouetted, and enigmatic figures in Thompson's paintings, derived from the works of the old masters of European painting and the new young lions of jazz, introduced a whole new set of options in African American visual culture. Similarly, the cut-up, collaged, and reconstituted images of Afro-America that Bearden introduced to the public in 1964 inaugurated an expanded and progressive view of art and art-making: a picture that reflected ambiguity, complexity, nuance, and affirmation in black culture.

The Vermont Health Department is offering free vaccines at clinics around the state to prevent the spread of whooping cough which has reached epidemic numbers in Vermont.
The state recommends that everyone 11-years-olds and older get a Tdap vaccine booster for tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis or whooping cough.
The state will hold free vaccine clinics on Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at its 12 district offices for those who cannot get to their doctor to get a shot. The state has ordered 3,500 vaccines costing $70,000 for the clinics.
As of two weeks ago, 522 Vermonters - a majority of them children ages 10-14 - had been infected with whooping cough or pertussis this year. That's 10 times the amount reported this time last year.

Speak Chapter 78 Summary
Real Spring
- It's May now, and rainy weather turns to sunny weather.
- The neighbor's yard is looking good. The Sordino yard is not.
- It's Saturday, so Mom is at Effert's and Dad is snoozing.
- Melinda spends an hour raking years of leaves out from under their bushes. She has uncovered little plant shoots, eager now to meet the sun.
- Dad comes out and talks to Melinda, but she doesn't say anything. He seems pleased with the work she's done, and he starts listing other things he needs to take care of around the house. Melinda's afraid she's created a monster.
- Dad invites Melinda to go to the hardware store with him. Melinda imagines the crowded, bright, noisy hardware store on a Saturday morning and declines.
- Before Dad leaves, Melinda clears her throat and asks Dad to pick up some flower seeds for her.
