FOX Network to Do Country Music Awards
The Fox TV network today will announce a totally fan-voted country music awards show, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The show, the American Country Awards (or ACAs) will debut Dec. 6 from Las Vegas, the magazine reports.
The producer will be Bob Bain, who does the fan-voted Teen Choice Awards for Fox.
The ACAs would make a total of three major-network country-only awards shows. ABC hosts the Country Music Association awards show (the CMAs) and CBS has the Academy of Country Music awards show (the ACMs), which also happen in Vegas.
How are there two country awards shows in Vegas and only one in Nashville? I digress.

Definition of cosmonaut in English:
- In its second year of occupancy, astronauts and cosmonauts have conducted 16 spacewalks for maintenance and assembly of the Station.
- Do we have an option of giving any degree of privacy to this planet's astronauts, cosmonauts, and taikonauts?
- We don't really have much time for a social life - there's a lot of work to get through - but we meet Russian cosmonauts and American astronauts, too.
1950s: from cosmos1, on the pattern of astronaut and Russian kosmonavt.
asterisk from Late Middle English:
The Greeks had two words for 'star', astēr and astron. They go back to an ancient root that is also the source of the Latin word stella, which gave us star itself and also stellar (mid 17th century). An asterisk is a little star, the meaning of its source, Greek asteriskos. Asteriskos is from astēr, which is also the root of asteroeidēs, 'star-like'. This entered English in the early 19th century as asteroid (early 19th century), a term coined by the astronomer William Herschel. Astēr also gave us our name for the plant aster (early 18th century), which has petals rather like an asterisk. Words beginning with astro- come from astron. In the Middle Ages astronomy (Middle English) covered not only astronomy but astrology too. The Greek word it descends from meant 'star-arranging'. Rather poetically, an astronaut [1920s] is literally a 'star sailor'. The word comes from Greek astron 'star' and nautēs 'sailor'. It was modelled on aeronaut (late 18th century), a word for a traveller in a hot-air balloon or airship. Cosmonaut [1950s], the Russian equivalent of astronaut, literally means 'sailor in the cosmos'. See also disaster

Spl team to decide syllabus for differently-abled
Panaji: Goa government Thursday assured the Assembly that it will form a special team to evaluate performance and decide syllabus for the schools catering to the differently-abled in the state.
Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar told the state Legislative
Assembly today that a separate team of people, who have interest in the field, would be formed to evaluate the performance of the schools teaching differently-abled people and also decide the syllabus.
"Those who are currently teaching these children are not formally trained, but are trained with experience," he said.
The issue about the performance evaluation of the institutes imparting education to differently-abled people was raised on the floor of the House today by Independent MLA Rohan Khaunte, who demanded that special attention should be given to their education.
Parrikar said that the entire issue related to education of differently-abled will be kept away from the purview of education department as "those handling the issue need heart for it, not just brains."
"Let the education department provide facilities like grants and other financial assistance," he added.
There are enough people who have the interest in the field who, along with the parents, can be appointed on the special team, he said.
In a written reply tabled on the floor of the House, the chief minister said that there are 34 resource rooms in the state, which cater to the differently-abled persons.

Spinning The Web: Talking to Web Artist Roger Robinson
Talking to Web Artist Roger Robinson
Here at Newsarama, we're going to break down the four creative teams of the Red Circle heroes, and today we're starting with The Web artist Roger Robinson who provided artwork from his blog.
Newsarama: Roger, you've been a working cartoonist for a little while now, working on everything from Azrael to X-Men and everything in between. How did you originally break into comics?
Roger Robinson: My case is a little unique. I didn't get my first gig like other artist, at a comic con or sending samples to the submission department at DC or Marvel. I was very fortunate to meet Steve Donnelly of Creative Interest Agency through an old friend of mine that he represented in '93. He was impressed with my comic samples that he wanted to represent me. He got me my first comic gig, 6 pages from Hardcase #1 for Malibu Comics and then my first whole issue, Hardcase #4.
NRAMA: You started on The Web one shot and are staying on with the ongoing Web series. How did you get the job?
I penciled Brave and the Bold #25 for Joey, and he was very pleased with the issue that he offered me The Web one-shot and then The Web ongoing series.
NRAMA: Had you been a fan of the Web prior to getting the assignment?
RR: I remember reading The Web when it came out through DC Comics imprint Impact Comics and it was pretty good. J Michael Straczynski is giving a really cool spin on the Web. I think the readers are going to like it.
NRAMA: As you mentioned, Joey Cavalieri is your editor on the series, what did he tell you he wanted from the series?
RR: Joey is very trusting on what I bring to the table so he really didn't say anything. I know that Joey wants me to bring my strong storytelling sensibility to the book.
RR: Joey is pretty flexible as long I keep the core look of the character. There was a revised version of J.G. Jones design that was done by the cover artist Jesus Saiz. So when I was doing character studies, I reworked it more so part of the webbing of the costume worked around his muscle structure so the design of his costume would have some dimension to it. Joey seemed pretty happy with the modifications.
NRAMA: When talking about the Web you said "Instead of it looking like spandex, I gave his costume a carbon fiber look." How do you do that, and how well do your inker and colorist follow through with the carbon fiber look?
RR: Well, when I said "give his costume a carbon fiber look." I was referring to the character study that I digitally painted and I was thinking in terms if I designed the character for a video game or a movies, how would the texturing of his costume would look like. Ever since working in the video games, I approach character designs in terms of design, texture, and functionality and how they work together now.
RR: Yes, the Web's goggles are functional and he does use it for night vision and infrared heat signature. You'll definitely see the Web using his goggles in the one shot issue.
NRAMA: Finally, as someone who's probbaly best known to DC fans for his Batman work, when approaching the Web visually, how does he differ from other Batmanesque heroes?
RR: I'm still approaching the Web in a noir style but the yellow of his costume will pop out the shadows. It will give the Web a really cool graphic style to him.
The Web #1 is due in stores September 23rd.

Join a Department of Fish and Game (DFG) naturalist-led swan tour of Marysville's Rice and Waterfowl area this November through February. Co-hosted by local rice farmers and land owners, these tours will focus on finding Tundra Swans, as this tract is one of the best locations for seeing swans in California. Ducks, geese, cranes, shorebirds, white pelicans, herons, egrets and raptors including bald eagles are also commonly seen in this area, known as District 10. The area contains 23,000 acres of rice fields and restored habit not normally open to the public. This is an excellent example of rice farming for wildlife habitat.
Tours are held on the second and third Saturdays of each month from 9 to 11 a.m. They are driving tours along a short route with very little walking required. Pre-registration is required on the DFG website, www.dfg.ca.gov/regions/2/SwanTours. Up to 30 people may register for each tour. The tours are free, but registrants are encouraged to make a donation online to the California Wildlife Foundation to support this program.
The swan tours are part of DFG's wildlife viewing services program, which includes similar outdoors opportunities at Gray Lodge Wildlife Area, Yolo Basin Wildlife Area, Isenberg Crane Reserve and North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve.
For more information about the swan tours, call (916) 358-2852.

Wake Forest University increases security after break-ins, home invasions
A Wake Forest University official has sent an email saying the school has increased security after several automobile break-ins and home invasions, most of which happened off-campus.
The vice president of student affairs sent the email Feb. 25 to students, faculty and staff.
Ken Zick says in the email that some criminals have carried weapons, causing the university adding security to patrol certain parking lots and dorms on the north side of campus.
He also says Winston-Salem police have increased patrols in some off-campus areas. University security officers are available to escort some resident advisers who make evening rounds.
Zick said in a statement to the newspaper that the university is responding to concerns from students and their families about campus safety.

An exciting morning occurred today for myself and my guests. After tracking some Elephants with a fellow ranger and having a great sighting we then proceeded to try and see if we could see some Lions before the guests had to check out. We responded to a sighting of our large male Lion and one female, (the mother of the two one and half year old male and female sub-adults), who were busy mating.
Lions mate for three to four days at a time. The actual mating occurs for about 45 seconds and they will repeat this every few minutes. The male Lion's penis is barbed which makes for an uncomfortable process for the female but insures that the copulation is a success for him. Afterwards there is much growling, snarling, and possibly a slap or two in the male's direction. All of this makes both male and female very grumpy and somewhat unpredictable.
Our male was particularly surly this morning as we approached the sighting, growling and lunging at the vehicle. We gave him and the female a wide berth which allowed them to relax and give my guests fantastic viewing and photo ops. After awhile we decided to leave and as we did the male, in his grumpy mood, decided to show us who is really King of the Bush!
Great photos in hand, smiles on faces, and adrenaline going, my guests and I left the two honeymooners to themselves.

When graphene meets negative refraction
Mar 2, 2007
Graphene and negative refractive-index materials are two of the hottest topics in physics -- but one might not think they have much in common. Now, however, physicists in the UK and US have proposed that graphene could be used to make a tiny lens to focus electrons through negative refraction. Although the lens has not yet been made, it could someday be used to focus electrons with much more precision than existing electron lenses (Science 315 5816 ).
The lens has been dreamt up by Vadim Cheianov and Vladimir Fal'ko of Lancaster University in the UK and Boris Altshuler of Columbia University in the US. It would consist of two flat metal electrodes placed side-by-side and just above (but not touching) a strip of graphene, which is a sheet of carbon atoms just one atom thick.
One electrode would have a positive voltage and attract electrons to the region of graphene below it, while the other electrode would have a negative voltage and repel electrons from the region of graphene below it. In other words, the graphene now has a p-type and an n-type region with a well defined "pn junction" in the area between the two electrodes.
The researchers then calculated what would happen to a point source of electrons in the n-type region. According to the team, electrons travelling towards the junction at an angle theta to the normal would be bent back beyond the normal by that angle -- exactly what happens to light when it enters a material with negative refractive index. Indeed, electrons emanating from a point source in the n side should be focused back to a point on the p side (see figure). Simulations carried out by the researchers suggest that such a lens could have a focal length of about one micrometre.
This strange behaviour arises from graphene's peculiar band structure, which is due to the carbon atoms being arranged in a honeycomb structure. According to the team, the negative refraction is caused by the electrons moving from the conduction to the valence band of graphene, which leads to the component of momentum that is parallel to the junction being reversed.
Unfortunately, the lenses would have some drawbacks. Only those electrons that cross perpendicular to the junction enjoy 100% transmission. This loss of electrons at the junction means that these devices could not be used to create "perfect" lenses that focus electrons to a spot smaller than the electron's intrinsic wavelength – something that is in principle possible with negative refraction materials.
The lenses are also expected to produce "fuzzy" images because the pn junction is not sharp, but rather a gradual shift from n to p. In addition, the lens would operate best at very low temperatures, because thermal fluctuations will distort the image.
Boris Altshuler told Physics Web that building the lens would also be a challenge. Most electrons would need to travel the entire length of the lens without scattering, something that cannot be achieved in current graphene samples. In addition, little is known about how to create pn junctions that are transparent to electrons. While Altshuler is not aware of any researchers who are currently building such lenses, he says that the expertise currently exists in at least five different laboratories worldwide.

MARIETTA - The Washington County Fair is a family-oriented event - something that was especially evident in this year's livestock competitions.
Brothers Zach and Andrew Henthorn of Fleming were the grand and reserve champions in the market beef category, while Lower Salem sisters Jessica and Josie White took those honors in the goat competition.
"We're very competitive," said Zach Henthorn, 17. "I hate to lose more than I love to win."

Brothers Andrew, right, and Zach Henthorn of Fleming prepare for the auction of their champion beef market steers Tuesday during the Washington County Fair's large animal sale. Zach won grand champion honors, while Andrew was the reserve champion.
Zach was happy for his brother though, and Andrew, 16, said the same - even if he would have preferred to come out on top.
"I've never won before, so it was exciting to win here," Andrew said.
Zach won a national championship at the American Royal Junior Simmental Show in Kansas City last fall, but he said collecting his first local title was special too.
"It's still exciting to win when your friends and family can come watch," he said.
The brothers' steers were auctioned for $4,535.30 and $3,983.50, respectively, during Tuesday's large animal sale, which, along with the Demolition Derby, marked the close of the four-day county fair.
Rain fell on the fair again this year but did not have the same impact on attendance as it did in 2011, when less than 1,000 people attended on Monday and the fair was closed Tuesday. Total attendance barely topped 12,000 last year, while nearly 17,000 came through the gate from Saturday to Monday this year, with Tuesday still to be counted.
Last year's washout dealt a financial blow to the fair, but fair board President Frank Tucker said there was a chance this year's event could break even.
"It's still not as good as it needs to be, but what are you going to do?" he said. "It's been good for the kids, that's the main thing."
Rain caused the cancellation of Sunday's harness racing and put a stop to many events in Monday's junior fair horse show, leading organizers to improvise.
"They had a horseless horse show," said fair board director Jeremy Barth. "Instead of the kids riding their horses (through the obstacle course), they ran the course.
Some of the truck and tractor pull events were rained out as well, and vendors on Tuesday said the weather took a bite out of their business.
"It's like last year; it was wet and it's been slow," said Odessa, Fla., resident Herbert Heap, owner of Herb's Sausage. "You can't help it. You can't fight Mother Nature."
Nonetheless, Heap enjoyed his time at the fair.
"It still reminds me of the old-time fairs," he said.
Despite the intermittent rain, business was better this year than last for the Washington County Black and White Holstein Club's ice cream and milk stand outside the multipurpose arena, said club member Jeni Bauerbach.
The large animal sale brought in more than $156,000 from bidders Tuesday, including $637.50 for Waterford resident Joseph Pugh's grand champion lamb at $5.10 a pound.
"I was shocked. I didn't think I was going to win," he said.
Pugh said it took a lot of hard work to raise his lamb, but that paid off Tuesday.
His animal was bought by Jay Pottmeyer of Belpre-based EDI, which purchases multiple animals at local fairs each year.
"It's good for the community," Pottmeyer said. "Most of the kids use it for college money or their education."
The reserve champion was raised by Cole Welch of Little Hocking and sold for $791, $7 a pound, to Leslie Equipment.
Clayton Lang of Churchtown had the grand champion dairy feeder steer, which sold for $2.35 a pound for a total of $1,499.30. Reserve champion Mallory Waggoner of Beverly saw her steer sell for $1,453.60, $2.30 a pound.
RC and Sons Construction purchased Zach Henthorn's grand champion market beef steer for $3.41 a pound, while The Laminate Shop and McDonald's of Marietta bought Andrew Henthorn's for $3.10 a pound.
Monday's small animal sale brought in more than $60,000. Jessica White's grand champion goat was auctioned for a record $1,600, while her sister Josie's went for $1,050. Both animals were bought by Carver's Electric, Plumbing and Heating.

Artist Who Gave Apple its Smile
Looking now at a computer monitor filled with varied fonts and familiar hieroglyphics, it is hard to imagine that screens before 1984 were generally uniform text, often green on black, with no icons or pointers. Everything had to be invented for that year's launch of the Apple Macintosh.
PLoS Blogs NeuroTribes carries a fascinating portrait by Steve Silberman of the artist Susan Kare who was responsible for a remarkable proportion of the technological symbols that have become so much part of our lives that they are almost invisible. And she invented the smiling Mac.
Of course, back then there was no application for designing fonts and symbols. It had to be done on paper. The article shows pages from her $2.50 squared notepad of pointing hands, paint brushes, and scissors which are now so familiar. It also reveals a few ideas which never quite saw the light of day such as the overly-literal "auto indent" icon of a car hitting a tree.
She also created the first proportionally-spaced font for computers. It will instantly bring back memories to any early Mac User.
Although many of her symbols are still in use, including the stylized aerial view of a castle representing the Apple command, there is a certain degree of nostalgia as Mr. Silberman says:
At the same time, as hardware has become faster, cheaper, and more powerful, interface designers have moved away from spare, economical road-sign style icons, and now favor the lush, elaborately rendered, 3D virtual objects that fill up the screens of our mobile phones and tablets, complete with faux shadows and glistening highlights.
For Kare herself, the Apple years were just an initial milestone in a distinguished career that has included designing icons for the Windows and IBM OS/2 operating systems, bitmapping the virtual deck in the Windows version of Solitaire, crafting logos for startups, creating products for New York's Museum of Modern Art, and making fine-art prints of memorable icons like the Bomb, the Watch, the Paint Can, and the taxonomically ambiguous Dogcow…
In time for the holiday season, Kare has self-published her first book,Susan Kare Icons, with copies signed by the artist available on her website.

PHILIPPI - At an upcoming meeting, Philippi City Council members will decide if the Philippi Landmark Commission should open membership up to people from outside the city limits of Philippi.
Mayor Jerry Mouser said Tuesday during a Philippi City Council work session the matter would be placed on the agenda for the next meeting.
However, during Tuesday's work session, members seemed to have split opinions on the matter.
Mouser said other boards have requested in the past to open membership to those outside of city limits, and if the Landmark Commission is permitted to do so, but not the others, it would "open up Pandora's Box."
Mouser said City Attorney John Ashcom reviewed the matter and found there was nothing to prevent Council from allowing a non-resident to become a member.
"I'm still opposed to it on several grounds, but, if you all want to do it, you can do it," Mouser said.
Councilman Ed Larry said he could see the matter from both sides. He said choosing members from a smaller pool of interested people could place a limitation on the creativity of the board.
"At one time, I thought it would be better, that if a business man or a person owns property in the city and lives in Barbour County, why shouldn't that person be on a committee," Larry said. "So I have two ideas. I have to think about that... if you have something within the city, but you live in the county... that's just a feeling. I don't know."
Councilman Terrence Boyd said the ordinance could be written in a way that would exclude membership from counties other than Barbour.
"I don't know, maybe it will open up a Pandora's Box, but those different boards and commissions, they still have to come before Council," Boyd said. "Maybe we use this one as an example, and you try to get it right the first time... I think it's important that you keep new and you keep fresh ideas, and I think that's a big benefit of it."
Boyd said potential non-resident members could have a vested interest in the town. City Manager Karen Weaver said they should be stakeholders in Philippi. Larry said that a business owner is the person who is going to be paying B&O taxes.
"He's the one who's bringing you money into the city," Larry said. "He's paying that permit, but yet he doesn't have a voice. That's one idea."
Mouser said there were two sides to the equation and suggested the matter come before Council for a vote at the next meeting, scheduled for 7 p.m.
July 15.
Council will consider whether to move forward with amending the ordinance to allow non-resident members. Mouser said, because the issue would involve amending an ordinance, there should be two public hearings.
In other news, Council members voted 4-0, with Councilman John Green not present, to appoint Beth Longo, who is the family court judge of Barbour County, to the Philippi Public Library Board. Longo will serve through June
30, 2019.
Longo will fill a vacancy left with the expired term of Elma Bennett, whose term expired June 30 and who did not wish
to seek reappointment, Weaver said.
Additionally, members voted to approve a $425,056.86 draw down request for the Philippi Waste Water Treatment Plant Project for the engineers who are working on the new sewer plant.

The search file is unused (but implemented).
The idea is you write a search string
and read back a list of message ids.
The ctl file allows bulk deletion - you write
delete 1 2 3 4 5
and it deletes the messages with those ids.

Becky Barker has been chosen for Citizen of the Season for Spring, 2013. Chief Kurt Wright nominated her, saying "Becky's long-term dedication to the youth of Zion has been fantastic." For 30 years, she has directed and choreographed 'Zion Canyon Kids', a children's choir. (Kids of the original Kids are singing with her now.) The 'Kids' perform regularly at the 4th of July celebration and other civic events as well as many special events like the ribbon-cutting ceremonies for Town Hall and the new Zion Visitor Center as well as the Town's 50th Birthday Party. "The 4th of July program last year was remarkable," said Chief Wright.
Since 1995, Becky has written, choreographed and produced Springdale Elementary School's Christmas programs and end of school programs. "Sometimes I write music for them, too." As if that was no big deal. Since she was 15 years old she has taught piano lessons, guitar lessons, vocal lessons, English, algebra. Then, of course, there are kindergarten/1st Grade and music classes at the Springdale elementary school.
Becky's first call to be an educator came early. Just a teenager, she was an aide at the School for the Handicapped in American Fork. In Springdale, she was hired in 1984 at the elementary school as 'kindergarten aide', which turned out to mean 'kindergarten teacher.' She had complete responsibility for the classroom. She soon realized how vital it was to complete her education. She went back to college in 1991 and had a Masters of Education five years later.
"It's fun to see how the people I tutor realize how education will make a difference in their lives. It doesn't matter what age or nationality. I have realized this is what I'm here for – to teach. When you have that thing in you – teaching – you can't do anything else.
I like working with young students because I have the ability and patience to teach 'foundations'; those elements of education that make it possible to learn everything else'. She also loves teaching music, which accesses both sides of the brain. "I'm teaching people to be whole-brained," she says. In 1998, she was awarded 'ARTS Music Teacher of the Year', not just for Washington County, but for the entire State of Utah.
As if her life wasn't busy enough, she has been driving the shuttle for the past ten years. She loves going into Zion Canyon every day. "I go to the Temple of Sinawava, look up at the mountains and feel absolutely blessed."
Becky was married to George Barker, who died in 2003. She still misses him: "He made my life possible – he supported me in everything. My sons have taken over that support system, bless them. I really learned, after George died, how important and strong our community family is here. Everyone supports you in a crisis."

What happened to the cast of Gilligan's Island?
Gilligan's Island was a popular television sitcom in the 1960s. The premise was that seven people (five tourists plus the skipper and his first mate) had become marooned on a desert island after being shipwrecked during a storm.
Bob Denver played Gilligan, the loyal but disaster-prone first mate. After Gilligan's Island he performed in several minor productions, and ran an "oldies" radio station in his hometown. He died at age 70 in 2005 from pneumonia and throat cancer, having earlier had quadruple heart bypass surgery.
Alan Hale, Jr. played the Skipper. After Gilligan's Island he performed in several minor productions, and co-owned a seafood restaurant. He died in 1990 at age 68 from cancer.
Jim Backus played the millionaire Thurston Howell, III. After Gilligan's Island he had a smattering of performances (including on The Brady Bunch). He also co-wrote books, performed voiceovers, released a few records and starred in advertisements for popcorn, furniture and electricals. He died in 1989 at age 76 from pneumonia after having suffered Parkinson's disease.
Natalie Schafer played Lovey Howell, Thurston's wife. She continued acting after Gilligan's Island, and guess starred on various TV series as well as appearing in the movie The Day Of The Locust. She died in 1991 aged 90, from cancer.
Tina Louise played the glamorous movie star Ginger Grant. She has continued to star regularly in TV series and TV movies. She's still alive, as of January 2014.
Russell Johnson played The Professor. He continued to act in TV shows and movies, and has also provided narration and been a panelist on the game show Pyramid. He has participated in the presentation of the Ig Nobel Prize awards. He died of natural causes on 16 January 2014 at age 89.
Dawn Wells played the sweet and naiive Mary Ann. She continued to act regularly after Gilligan's Island, on TV and in movies. In addition she has starred in commercials and published a cookbook. She's still alive, as of January 2014.
They were all heavily typecast following the successful run of Gilligan's Island. Most of them accepted this gracefully, and were happy to return for reunions and retrospectives. The exception was Tina Louise, who refused to join in.

Cyling in China
By avalon on Jun 14, 2006
On Saturday the 10th of June, I went for a ride on my bike here in Beijing. My target was to reach the mountains to the north. The air was relatively clean - I could see the destination I was heading for (unlike if I was to do it today.) On the way out it was a rather extraordinary sight along the roads I took - there were green clothed police/army people along the road and at every intersection. At some intersections I passed, traffic was being held up and not going anywhere. It wasn't until maybe half an hour of travelling that I finally saw the reason why - a black car motorcade, complete with police escort, went zooming by.
The trip took me out of the city of Beijing and into some of the more rural areas around it. I passed through a town called "Shahe" and got close to the Ming Tombs before weather indicated it was time to turn around.
In Beijing, when you buy a bike, you get just the bike - seat, wheels, tubes, chains, frame, etc. No accessory kit to repair tyres, etc. It simply isn't necessary as there are plenty of bicycle repair shops around. How much does it cost to get a puncture repaired? 1 RMB per hole. Oh, you may also get a basket on the front or pack rack on the back (for your girlfriend to sit on.)
So what did I carry with me on my trip out? Camera, top, money, keys. No water or food. Why not? China is relatively densely populated and the bike is still the preferred mode of transport for a lot of people. To support this, where we might have gas stations for people to fill up their cars, the Chinese have road-side stalls for you to get a soft drink or bottle of water from. On a hot day there is an added advantage: their drinks are kept in coolers and can be ice cold. This is a bonus in two ways: don't have to lug around drink and you get a cold drink, not a hot/warm drink. Food? Stop at a gas station or find a store close to the road and buy something. My preference is chocolate with nuts.
Defending bikes
There is a lot of misunderstanding and perhaps anger towards the cause of road traffic problems in China, causing articles such as this one about 'China urged to back-pedal on bikes' to be written. What I find most bewildering is that anyone who plans against or tries to ban bikes doesn't understand what the problem is because it isn't just bikes - it is also pedestrians.
How can this be? In Beijing, there are pedestrains in numbers at the corners of intersections for busy roads between the hours of 9am and 9pm in numbers that most westerners will never see. This alone isn't the problem. It is the attitude of both bike riders and pedestrians that is the cause of the problem (and cars too, to a lesser extent.) When it comes to crossing a road, everyone wants to get to the other side as quickly as they can - regardless of what the traffic lights say. For cars, this is a bit hard, so for the most part they respect the lights. But for cyclists and pedestrians, they have long worked out they are small enough and can move quickly enough, to execute a successful (partial) crossing before the lights change. I see this every day and it causes no end of headaches for drivers in the city.
One solution being adopted in Beijing is to employ minor traffic police that stand at each corner of an intersection. Sometimes there are 2 per corner - one for each direction of pedestrian traffic at each corner. They're equipped with whistles and red flags. Their job - to keep the cyclists and pedestrians in order and not to (attempt to) cross the road until the light is green for them to do so.
I'm almost convinced that this is a cultural problem, although what the root cause is defeats me. I see it in other parts of daily life in China too - people get in the lift and the first thing they do is push the "close door" button. Nobody wants to wait for others to get in (if they can help it.) I've seen this in the building I work in and in the buildings I've lived in. I see the same attitude with their subway/metro/trains - you have to push your way off a train, those getting on never stand back to let people off. Are all three issues different symptoms of the same problem? Or are they all different problems? Whatever the case, some of this (the train issue mostly) has forever changed the way I see Chinese people, en mass. But if the root of all three is the same and can be attacked, then maybe there will be fewer problems with bikes, pedestrians and cars on the roads in China, along with flow on effects of people being more considerate of others getting off trains too.

One nation under GOD!
KLRZ and Lafourche Parish News
Corps opens up four more Blue Roof
collection sites
Shelters Opening at Larose Civic Center & Thibodaux High School
Lafourche Parish Office of Emergency Preparedness has announced the opening of two shelters in Lafourche Parish at the Larose Civic Center and Thibodaux High School. These shelters are Refuges of Last Resort for residents who have returned to Lafourche Parish and have found their homes to be uninhabitable. These centers will begin by providing basic sheltering for residents for no where else to go. Residents choosing to check into the shelter should be doing so with the intention of remaining there for an extended period of time. Any resident utilizing a shelter in Lafourche should bring the essential items utilized during any storm event such as food, water, clothing, personal hygiene products, etc. The Parish is making every effort to ensure that resources such as water, M.R.E.'s and ice will be readily available. We are also working with the American Red Cross to provide as much support to these sites as possible. The most important thing for residents to remember is that these are REFUGES OF LAST RESORT. If you have any other options, you are strongly urged to consider them. It should also be noted that the shelter at Thibodaux High School has no air conditioning. "These shelters are a last resort for people who have no where else to go," said Parish President Charlotte Randolph. "If you absolutely cannot stay in your house, we have a place for you to stay." The two shelter locations are also being set up as "Relief Stations". Residents can come in to charge their cell phones as well as escape the heat for a while. Please know that these relief stations are VERY limited to the number of people using them, especially while charging cell phones, and you may have to wait a while before being able to utilize this service at each location. For further information please contact Brennan Matherne at (985) 537-7603.
Burn Ban in Effect until Further Notice
Lafourche Parish President Charlotte Randolph has placed a Burn Ban in effect for the entire Parish of Lafourche until further notice.
Lafourche Parish Garbage & Trash Services, Storm Debris Cleanup & Removal
Lafourche Parish Government and its contractors will begin the process of Storm Debris Cleanup and Removal in the aftermath of Hurricane Gustav. To assist in these collection efforts, we ask that storm debris and regular garbage and trash be kept separate as much as possible. To assist these contractors in the removal of debris, it is requested that you place all debris at street curbside away from fire hydrants, low hanging wires, water meters, etc... To further assist in these efforts, we ask that the storm debris be separated into different piles. These piles are: (1) metal, (2) clean wood and tree debris, (3) white goods (household appliances such as stoves, refrigerators, a/c units, washers and dryers, microwave ovens, TV's, etc…), (4) batteries, chemicals or other items that may be of a hazardous nature. Loose debris should be boxed, bundled, and containerized as much as possible. Regular garbage services will NOT resume until Saturday, September 6th, at the very earliest. Stay tuned for further information as it becomes available.
Residents Should Boil Water as a Precaution
The Lafourche Parish Office of Emergency Preparedness is suggesting that residents boil their water only as a precaution. Residents should bring the water to a rolling boil in a clean container for one minute before use. Water pressure is also low in many areas of the Parish. For further information please contactBrennan Matherne at (985) 537-7603.
Flooding in S. Lafourche Levee System,
Lafourche Parish Press Release - 911 Restored
All TIER 1 EMERGENCY RESPONDERS may now return to Lafourche Parish. These responders include law enforcement, medical and other first responders. Anyone returning MUST possess their "TIER 1" I.D. badge issued by the Parish to gain re-entry access to Lafourche Parish. Emergency Officials are working to assess damages and clear the roadways at this time. Residents will be notified when they will be allowed to return. At this time ONLY TIER 1 EMERGENCY RESPONDERS are being allowed access to Lafourche Parish. A curfew remains in effect in Lafourche Parish until further notice. Any resident that is currently located in Lafourche Parish MUST stay off the streets, you will be stopped by law enforcement officials. If you are trying to evacuate, officials will direct you where to go. Otherwise, residents are to remain in their homes and off the streets until further notice. For the most up-to-date information regarding Lafourche Parish, please log on to the Parish website at http://www.lafourchegov.org.
Lafourche Parish Residents Can Return at 4:00 P.M. Tuesday, September 2nd Lafourche Parish residents will be allowed to return to the Parish beginning at 4:00 P.M. today. The parish-wide curfew has been lifted, but will resume at 10:00 P.M. tonight and last until dawn tomorrow. Anyone traveling in Lafourche Parish must drive carefully and be aware of hanging tree limbs, power lines and leaning utility poles. Residents who decide to return must be aware that there is NO power anywhere in Lafourche Parish. There is also no estimate of when power will be restored. Entergy crews are working to assess damages in the area. Entergy officials ask that residents do NOT stop Entergy workers to ask questions about restoring power to their area. Residents are instead encouraged to call Entergy at 1-800-9-OUTAGE (or 1-800-968-8243) to determine estimates on when power will be restored. For further information please contact Brennan Matherne at (985) 537-7603.
UPDATED: State Announces LOCATION FOR NATIONAL GUARD SUPPLY DISTRIBUTION POINTS
Baton Rouge - The National Guard has now opened multiple supply distribution points throughout Louisiana. These points will distribute water, ice, food, and tarps to residents affected by Hurricane Gustav.
The points will be located at:
Lafourche Parish
St. Mary Parish
Terrebonne Parish
Lafourche Parish residents who are taking refuge in our Parish Shelters at Thibodaux High School and the Larose Civic Center need to place their pets in cages. No pets will be allowed to roam loose at the shelter sites.

Heredity affects health through the inheritance of good physique and intelligence. Under the heading of social environment, nutrition is by far the greatest single influence on physical welfare, exceeding by a considerable margin parental care, housing, sanitation and other elements which depend fundamentally on wages. Occupation affects health in a great many direct and indirect ways. In any event, it is a particularly difficult assignment to dissociate the effects of these three factors one from the other. Nevertheless, Vernon feels it worth while to set up certain percentage relationships between these factors, tentatively at least, until further observation by him and others may suggest abandonment or further exploration of this method of evaluation. These, in substance, are a few of the author's reflections on a most interesting subject, which, at least in this country, receives far less consideration inmedical publications than it deserves. This book refers mainly to British conditions,

Number the Stars
by Lois Lowry
Analysis: Tone
Take a story's temperature by studying its tone. Is it hopeful? Cynical? Snarky? Playful?
Moral and Firm
In Number the Stars, there's never any question about what's right and what's wrong. All the Danish characters we meet share a united front: what the Nazis are doing is terrible, and the Danes must do whatever they can to stop it. Annemarie's family doesn't hesitate for a moment. They will help the Rosens no matter how dangerous it might be. There's simply no other option. Annemarie's father sums it up pretty nicely:
"We don't know where [the Germans are taking the Jews] and we don't really know why. They call it 'relocation.' We don't even know what that means. We only know that it is wrong, and it is dangerous, and we must help." (4.68)
Number the Stars very clearly separates the people doing right (the Danes) from the people doing wrong (the Nazis).
In case we didn't get the picture during the story itself, Lowry drives the point home in her Afterword. The author shares the story of a Resistance fighter named Kim Malthe-Bruun, who remained hopeful even up to his execution by the Nazis. She recommends—strongly recommends, we might add—that people today must keep working on Malthe-Bruun's dream to "create an ideal of human decency" (Afterword.19).
Bottom line: both the voice of the narrator and the voice of the author scream strict moral code. And you know what? In this case, we're totally down with it. Human decency sounds pretty good to us.

I just learned that the brain cell and the universe has the same cell. then the other day they said the universe is the brain. the scientist says no evolution for it had to be a Divine Intelligence to create. so what if we are inside of the brain of the Divine Intelligence. in jewish prayer books they are actually songs and hymns.. hmmm.. and twice music has healed me and an ancient Kabbalah masters information was written down and told how this can happen. its sad people talk and put down what they dont know anything about just cuz someone else said something. being opened is go check out of oneself and not to depend on others to give the right information. in the west we give kabbalah the term mystic when in fact it is just science. at least i knew a man who finally admitted he was wrong putting it down and when he finally read and studied it he changed his mind. good to know people can start being opened minded
This is a well-written, great article that truly reflects some of my feelings; it often takes another person's expression of our own thoughts regarding prayer, i.e. how to put it into words!,and may help open doors to others' way of thinking of how they pray, what energy we are wanting to send, what our expectations are of God, and why we see that often, people immediately say,"I will be praying for you" as a matter of course, almost as if it is a reflex reaction. Most people in prayer are well-intended: they are loving, thoughtful, hopeful,helpful,with positive energy and encouraging the weak and the families. People yet can at the same time totally need some deeper thought about this powerful, yet human, action, sometimes, resulting in God's will, not our own. And they take themselves too serously, as if they have the magic connection to all that ail, and God will make what they desire become reality. In loving peace, DSS
