The Kite Runner
by Khaled Hosseini
Analysis: Tone
Take a story's temperature by studying its tone. Is it hopeful? Cynical? Snarky? Playful?
Tender, Unflinching, Ironic
You don't often see these three walk into a room together. But here they are. Hosseini definitely likes to pull at the old heartstrings in this novel. For example, to have Baba spend his life-savings on Amir's wedding (right before he dies) is enough to make a chap weep. The central plot itself, in which Amir rescues Sohrab in order to atone for his sins against Hassan, is full of the chest-swelling feelings we get with a glass of wine and a romantic comedy. The novel is tender, because its characters try their damnedest to do what's right. Though there are some blips along the way, most of the characters end up loving each other. Even though there are some awful betrayals, most of the relationships swell with grand orchestral feelings by the end of the novel. For example: My father is finally proud of me! I love my wife! I love my nephew! I want to buy another one of Hosseini's books!
That said, Hosseini muddies the crystal spring of tender feelings. This isn't Disney, pal. There's plenty of violence and cruelty to go around. Hosseini doesn't shy away from scenes of carnage and warfare, nor does he turn away from some brutal descriptions. (For example, the rape scene.) All this adds a steely edge to the novel's grand emotions.
Plus, Hosseini is in the irony business. For example: Isn't it ironic that Baba also betrayed his friend even though he talks big about honor and principles? Isn't it ironic that Assef finally loses his eye? Isn't it ironic that Amir gets a scar on his lip just like Hassan? Isn't it ironic when Amir, who ends up being Hassan's half-brother, says things like "[t]he curious thing was, I never thought of Hassan and me as friends [...]" (4.4)? The irony adds yet another edge to the story; it gives the more sentimental passages backbone. In the end, The Kite Runner is such a tearjerker, such an emotional tour de force, because it shifts between these three tones.

NEW YORK — Santa's sleigh didn't make it in time for Christmas for some this year due to shipping problems at UPS and FedEx.
The delays were blamed on poor weather this week in parts of the country as well as overloaded systems. The holiday shopping period this year was shorter than usual, more buying was done online and Americans' tendency to wait until the last possible second to shop probably didn't help either.
Neither company said how many packages were delayed but noted it was a small share of overall holiday shipments. While the bulk of consumers' holiday spending remains at physical stores, shopping online is increasingly popular and outstripping spending growth in stores at the mall.
Issues widespread
The problems appear to have affected many parts of the country. The Associated Press spoke to people in Alabama, California, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia who didn't receive gifts in time for Christmas.
Many were left with little or no time to make alternative plans. Jeff Cormier and his Dallas family were among those who ordered gifts that didn't arrive.
He had three UPS packages — including two for which he paid extra for expedited shipping — delayed.
"I've had to apologize to three different people when I thought I had everything wrapped up and good to go way before," Cormier said.
Natalie Godwin, a spokeswoman for United Parcel Service Inc., said that snow and ice in the Midwest last week and an ice storm that hit Dallas 2½ weeks ago were partly to blame.
"We apologize that our customers did not receive their packages on Christmas," she said.
Capacity exceeded
Godwin also said the volume of packages shipped exceeded the capacity of UPS but would not share the number of packages shipped or what the company's maximum capacity is.
UPS had expected to ship more than 132 million parcels globally during the week before Christmas, according to the cover story for subscribers to Bloomberg Businessweek in its Dec. 23 issue.
UPS did not make pickups or deliveries Wednesday. Extra workers were being brought in Wednesday night to the company's hub in Louisville, Ky., to sort packages for Thursday and Friday delivery, Godwin said.
She said UPS "will honor its peak shipments commitments" to customers who used its air delivery service. Those shipping by ground have no guarantee past Dec. 11. Godwin said she didn't know whether customers would receive refunds.
However, some FedEx customers are able to pick up packages Christmas Day at their local FedEx Express centers.
"We're sorry that there could be delays, and we're contacting affected customers who have shipments available for pickup," said Scott Fiedler, a spokesman for FedEx Corp.
Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, FedEx handled 275 million shipments, Fiedler said. Those that were not delivered in time, he said, "would be very few."
FedEx overwhelmed
Three people told The Associated Press that when they tracked their packages online, FedEx said deliveries to their homes were attempted but failed because "the business was closed." During follow-up calls with customer service, they said they learned that the local depot was overwhelmed and didn't attempt delivery.
On Sunday, Eric Swanson placed orders through Amazon.com and one of its affiliated sites. As an Amazon Prime customer, there was a promise of two-day delivery, getting the gifts to his Carmichael, Calif., home just in time for Christmas. One was shipped via UPS, the other FedEx.
"I thought it would happen," Swanson said. Online-tracking tools said the packages would arrive by 8 p.m. Tuesday. Neither did.
Amazon.com has been notifying some customers affected by the UPS delays that it will refund any shipping charges and is giving them a $20 credit toward a future purchase.
Amazon spokeswoman Mary Osako said the company processed orders and got them to its shippers "on time for holiday delivery" and is now "reviewing the performance of the delivery carriers."
Although some customers may get money back, they might think twice about ordering online next year.
"My wife understands, but my 5-year-old daughter — I think we're going to let it be a surprise when it comes," Swanson said. "Next time, if I need to get a gift and cut it that close, I will just have to enter the fray and go to the mall."
Bloomberg News contributed to this report.

NEW BEDFORD — Police arrested a city man Tuesday night on charges of carrying a loaded gun without a license after the tossed the gun during a chase, according to New Bedford police.
Jon Corey Sylvia, 21, of 463H Union St., was arrested after a police chase on foot, during which he threw a loaded handgun into a yard, police said.
Police said they observed Sylvia "acting suspiciously" in the area of Bay Village in the South End.
When state troopers approached him, along with members of the Southeastern Masaschusetts Gang Task Force who were on patrol, Sylvia "immediately fled on foot" and threw the gun into a yard, according to police.
Police said he was then arrested "without incident," and the handgun — a .38 caliber Rohm revolver loaded with 6 rounds of ammunition — was recovered, with its serial numbers obliterated.
Sylvia is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in New Bedford District Court on charges of unlawfully carrying a firearm, unlawfully carrying a loaded firearm and possessing a firearm with obliterated serial numbers, according to police.

In Busan, David Takes on Goliath
As South Korea's April 11 general election draws near, the main political parties have been releasing their choices of candidates for the 300 parliamentary seats up for grabs.
One of the most eye-catching nominations is from the ruling New Frontier Party, which on Monday selected 27-year-old Son Su-jo to run against Moon Jae-in from the main opposition Democratic United Party in a constituency in Busan, the country's second largest city.
The selection is intriguing because Ms. Son is the youngest candidate so far confirmed for the election and will be up against one of the biggest names in the DUP. Mr. Moon was a close aide to late President Roh Moo-hyun and is seen as one of the potential contenders for the December presidential race.
The choice of Ms. Son may yet be a canny one. Her selection symbolizes an attempt by the ruling party to appeal to younger voters and demonstrate its reform credentials.
Ms. Son's nomination is a result of party chairwoman Park Geun-hye's pledge that the New Frontier Party will reserve some nominations for young, talented political newcomers. Ms. Son counts her only political experience as student leader.
"Politicians lie as if it is truth. They are really good at trickery. We all learned in kindergarten a story about a shepherd crying wolf. Let's not do that. I won't do that," says Son in her 'election diary' on her blog.
To be sure, she'll have a tough job taking on Mr. Moon.
A recent opinion poll conducted by private pollster Realmeter showed 54.7% of 500 respondents in the Busan constituency said they would support the DUP candidate, while 28.8% said they would vote for Ms. Son.
Mr. Moon isn't taking anything for granted.
"One of my planned campaign tactics was the call for a public judgment on the corrupt Lee Myung-bak administration. But she's free from such stains. I can't relax my mind," Mr. Moon was recently quoted by a local newspaper as saying.
Indeed, Mr. Moon has more at stake in the election than she does.
If Ms. Son causes an upset and wins it could shatter his presidential candidacy. Even a win for Mr. Moon by a smaller-than-expected margin could slow his momentum for a possible tilt at the nation's top job.
It'll be one of the local races to keep an eye on come polling day.

Post subject: Concerned grandparents
Our daughter is expecting her third child in October. She is in a relationship where her husband brought 2 of his children too - so soon there will be 5 to care for, aged 7 and under. She wants to go on holiday for two weeks next May with her new husband - they were married on 19 May.
They want us to look after the 3 oldest children. They want our eldest daughter - unmarried - who lives in a different part of the UK, to look after the present youngest child and the new born baby. We believe that this separation from their two youngest children is unwise and potentially damaging for both these children, particularly the baby who will be only some 7 months old next May.
Do others agree please? Have you any advice on how we should handle this request in terms of the welfare of these two youngest children?[/b]

Six patients developed spontaneous retroperitoneal bleeding while on maintenance dialysis (3% of all patients so treated). At the time of the bleeding episode, four patients were receiving Coumadin® for prevention of recurrent clotting problems in external shunts. In three patients, including two who had not received Coumadin, bleeding developed while on dialysis. The presenting common symptoms and signs of retroperitoneal bleeding included sudden and progressive abdominal pain with blood pressure drop and subsequent development of an abdominal mass. These symptoms were associated with a falling hematocrit without any documented external blood loss and with suggestive X-ray changes, including absence of psoas shadow with soft tissue density. All six patients recovered. Treatment included blood transfusions, temporary regional heparinization, withdrawal of Coumadin, and bed rest. Surgical exploration was undertaken in two patients, but no obvious bleeding source was found. Anticoagulation therapy and functional platelet abnormalities may be contributory causes.

Obama...epic miserable failure, in record time.
Apparently Americas punishment for being a bunch of cultist mouth breathers, is 3 more years of this world renowned laughing stock and miserable failure as president.
Bolton: 'A Post-American Speech By Our First Post-American President' [Robert Costa]
Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton tells NRO that President Obama's address to the U.N. was "a post-American speech by our first post-American president. It was a speech high on the personality of Barack Obama and high on multilateralism, but very short in advocating American interests."
"It was a very naïve, Wilsonian speech, and very revealing of Obama's foreign policy," says Bolton. "Overall, it was so apologetic for the actions of prior administrations, in an effort to distance Obama from them, that it became yet another symbol of American weakness in the wake of the president's decision to abandon missile sites in Poland and the Czech Republic, and his recent manifest hesitation over what to do in Afghanistan."
"The most significant point of the speech was how the president put Israel on the chopping block in a variety of references, from calling Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegitimate to talking about ending 'the occupation that began in 1967.' That implies that he supports going back to 1967 borders," says Bolton. "Obama has a very tough road ahead. He is frequently taking the side of the Palestinians, who don't have a competent leader who can make hard decisions and compromises in the future."
Also noteworthy, Bolton says, was how Obama highlighted "just how much of American foreign policy that he wants to run through the U.N."
"Usually presidential speeches at the U.N. are 'state of the world' addresses. Obama's speech was filled with talk about U.N. bodies, U.N. treaties, and sending Secretary of State Clinton to a conference on the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, which would be an incredible waste of time for her. The president's speech showed a fascination with U.N.-centric issues. Obama talked about getting past 'balance of power' politics. He talked about the interests that unite us rather than divide us."
Bolton's conclusion: "It was all extremely naïve. The president did everything he could to say: 'Can't we all just get along?'"

Green Day Information:
Green Day frontman and lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong was recently recognized as one of the top 15 most iconic Les Paul guitar players.
Billie Joe Armstrong: Although Green Day's Armstrong didn't start out on a Les Paul, these days you can see him sporting his own signature edition of the Les Paul Junior. However don't let the diminutive nature of Armstrong's axe convince you that his tone is any less aggressive than his peers, because listening to the band's opus American Idiot , it's clear that the exact opposite is true. Green Day's next album will reportedly be out next summer and we can't wait to see what Armstrong is able to pull off with a little help from his Les Paul Jr.

If you are just getting started in internet marketing, then you have a lot of work to do! Other internet marketers have already been at it for years or even decades! They know all of the tricks and have the tools to get at the top of the search engine results. But what if you could penetrate into your competitors and steal all of their methods? With Commission Crusher, you can do just that!
Start crushing the competition now
Commission Crusher is a combination of an e-course and a very powerful software. The idea behind Commission Crusher is that you find out who your competitors are, steal their methods, and then copy them in your own websites. The simple and incredibly effective approach ensures that you save A LOT of time while still getting the results you need.
If this approach sounds easy, it is because it is easy. There is only one catch to it all: you must have the right tool to get started.
Mad savings with this discount!
When you order Commission Crusher, you will get 3 videos which are the course-training part of the package. However, the most important part of Commission Crusher is the software which is included. This program is what will allow you to penetrate directly into your competition. With just a few clicks, you will be able to know what keywords they are using, what links are coming to them, how they are getting links, their conversion ratios, and much more. Yes, this system is completely legal and doesn't involve any hacking! However, the system was devised by a famous hacker so you may still get that thrill like you are doing something illicit while using Commission Crusher.
Best Deal on Commission Crusher software!
An expert webmaster may not find the e-course videos of any value. However, the Commission Crusher software alone makes this package worth the price. Novice or intermediate webmasters will definitely want to watch the videos though because they have a lot of valuable information about how to put the software to use. Basically, you are given a step-by-step process for reverse engineering your competitors' sites. Here is where things get really interesting: if you can fill in the gaps found in your competition (such as by combining the methods of multiple competitors into one site), you can literally cremate the competition.
Order here and get our promo price!
Commission Crusher can be used for any type of internet marketing, such as CPA, PPC, or affiliate marketing. What is really cool about Commission Crusher is that it includes several ready-made campaigns that you can launch with a few simple steps. Since these campaigns are already tested, you know that you will get results and won't have to waste time with trial and error. To top it off, you also get a large selection of professional website designs for free! These alone are valued at more than $2000.
Beat the competition with their own system!
Of all the internet marketing tools out there, Commission Crusher is by far our favorite. Not only is it going to help you make money quickly and easily, it is also a great way to learn. After all, there is no better learning tool than infiltrating the competition and seeing all of their methods!

I'm long, but so is my timeframe. It doesn't appear that the housing and financial mess will be resolved any time soon. And p/c insurance is weak. So, I can't blame shorts for not letting up. I suspect it will take more than a 2 day rally to shake them.
a little help today.If a couple value or income funds hop on board with a longterm attitude like yours might shake up the shorts.

Hypsometric curve, also called Hypsographic Curve, cumulative height frequency curve for the Earth's surface or some part thereof. A hypsometric curve is essentially a graph that shows the proportion of land area that exists at various elevations by plotting relative area against relative height. In the hypsometric curve of the total Earth surface there exist two maxima of frequencies—at the 100-metre (109-yard) and the 4,700-metre (5,140-yard) elevations, which correlate with the mean level of the lowland continental areas and the deep-sea floor. This aspect of the Earth's surface, revealed by hypsometric analysis, supports the theory of a crust consisting of simatic (peridotitic, specific gravity about 3.3) materials under the oceans and of sialic (granitic to gabbroic, specific gravity about 2.7) materials of the continents.

British actress Gemma Whelan was first reported to have been cast in the role of Theon Greyjoy's older sister back in July, but that has not been officially confirmed…
Until now, that is, thanks to James Hibberd and EW. They also confirm a choice that is bound to be controversial among some fans: Asha's name has been changed to what somewhat less mellifluous "Yara", out of concern that her name otherwise sounds too much like "Osha". As some have noted, "Yara" might be readily confused with "Arya" by some, so it doesn't seem a great choice in that regard. Also, notably, Osha's name seems to have never been properly used in the TV series—it's only mentioned outside of the show, in extra material or casting notes—so, all considered, we might have preferred it if they re-dubbed Osha and let Asha keep her name.
Still, in the grand scheme of things, it probably doesn't matter too much. Though we would have loved it if they named her Disa or Katla…

Man gets stuck in Phippsburg chimney
Man arrested after rescue
The Phippsburg Fire Department, with help from colleagues in Bath, rescued a man who got stuck in a chimney during the weekend.
Phippsburg Chief James Totman says the department got a call at about 5:15 a.m. Saturday for a 19-year-old man stuck in a chimney.
Totman tells The Times Record that Cody Ayer was lodged about four feet down.
The Bath Fire Department used its ladder truck to swing over the chimney, take bricks down, and get to the man. The rescue took about 45 minutes.
Totman says Ayer may have been cleaning the chimney. He did not require medical attention.
Police took custody of Ayer on a parole violation and transported him to jail.

The University of San Diego's WorldLink Program will host the 17th Annual Youth Town Meeting (YTM), which will focus on the theme of "Global Conflicts: Human Impact, Human Solutions."
WorldLink's 17th YTM will be held on Wednesday, January 22nd from 8:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Over 700 high school students from the United States, Mexico and abroad and more than 15 leading experts will come to the USD campus to engage in meaningful discussion on global conflicts, and focus specifically on the following topics: poverty and hunger, global health, environment and land, human protection, and peace processes.
This year's speakers include Annie Kim, from UNICEF, an organization that works to improve children's lives by providing healthcare, emergency relief and more; Rebecca Trotzky and Sophie Westacott, from the Program for Torture Victims, a Los Angeles-based organization helping rebuild the lives of torture survivors from over 65 countries; and Sedrick Murhula, a refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo and founder and director of the Young African Refugees for Integral Development.
YTMs are grounded in the belief that youth have much to offer and much to gain from discussion with experts and professionals regarding the complexities and challenges of international affairs. As a student from CETYS Universidad in Baja Mexico said, "Global issues are no longer a concern of adults only, but also of young people, like me, who are interested in shaping the world we live in."
This event is reserved for students and is not open to the public. For more information, contact WorldLink Program Officer Debbie Martinez at 619.260.7568, or email@example.com.
WHO: 700 youth from San Diego and Baja Mexico, and over 15 leading experts in international affairs
WHAT: WorldLink 17th Annual Youth Town Meeting, "Global Conflicts: Human Impact, Human Solutions"
WHERE: Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice and Shiley Theater in Camino Hall
WHEN: Wednesday, January 22, 2014 from 8:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

The sun comes up - the sun goes down. Another day to be thankful for. Sometimes it takes some wondering, but there is always something good about every day and since it is a gift, we need to find the good part. The Evil One isn't going to get me down.
Both computers are still down, so my patience is being sorely tried. For three days I tried to get one to work and finally gave up and am using one at the office. So if things get a little mixed up, just blame it on an unfamiliar piece of equipment. We are all a "creature of habit" and sometimes need a little shaking up so we don't get too used to one thing. Grumble, grumble. I will not let it get me down. My PC is just a little too old and has finally asked to let it expire in peace. The laptop grew legs and dropped itself, I think, because it isn't letting me see what is going on inside it or letting me get help from another screen. As soon as possible, it goes to the shop. Minor problems in the story of life.
One very sad thing in that story is the death of our Jack Russell, Buddy. He was playing with his friend across the street and got too close to a car and went to Doggy Heaven. He had just gotten old enough to start to be very loving and not so wild as he was when he was younger. We all miss him, both the humans and the other animals. Rest in peace, Buddy.
Since our family reunion is this Sunday, I decided the carpet in the bathroom was completely unacceptable for anyone but us to see. Husband Norm said it would be so easy to put down tile, like I wanted, and would take only about half a day. Of course, we should know by now that anytime one does anything to an old house, one is in for unbelievable unwanted surprises. It is now in the third day of work. There is a new floor (the old one was rotted and a wonder someone hadn't fallen through). The old claw foot tub was heavy and hard to get out of the room and other fixtures were old and unusable after they were taken out. So, in effect, we completely remodeled the bathroom when we just wanted a better floor. I am at the office writing at this time, and I think I will take long enough to give everyone time to get the floor finished, the tub back in, the water turned back on, and so I can start to clean up all the dust and dirt that has covered everything in that room and the adjoining rooms. The roof isn't repaired yet and has a ladder holding the tarp over the missing slates. I hadn't planned to really kill myself getting everything spic and span, but I had hoped to have it better than it will be in the couple of days I have left. Next Monday, don't anyone call me, look for me, or expect any meals to appear on the table or clothes to get washed and back in the drawers. That will be my recovery day. I really am looking forward to seeing everyone, just sorry everything is still a mess, but a hundred years from now, no one will know the difference, (if I can keep it out of the secretary's book).
My daughter-in-law and granddaughter surprised me with a birthday dinner this past week. Decorated cake and all (my son cooked chicken on the grill) - all I did was sit and enjoy. They even cleaned the kitchen. What a wonderful gift from them all.
Next weekend is our community fair and the Washington county hog sale for the 4-H and FFA kids. It is the highlight of the year for those kids who have worked to raise the best hogs they can. You won't get any better pork anywhere and it helps the young folks. Also, it is great advertisement for your business. It really is a community gathering and a chance to visit with friends and neighbors. Don't forget the famous Noodles at the Grange booth.
Did you see the opening dates for the schools in our area? It is that time again. Start watching for the buses and the little ones. They get so excited when school starts that they sometimes forget to watch out for cars and some schools are starting earlier than others. Never, ever pass a school bus when it is stopped - watch out for those red lights that tell you a child is getting on or off the bus.
Plan something special for Labor Day. Maybe it will be cool enough to grill outside. This summer, our grill hasn't been used as much as planned due to the heat. The crockpot is much cooler so it has come out early in the year. BBQ tastes pretty good in it, too. Just add some liquid smoke flavoring.
Finish up your "putting up" and enjoy some "swing and shade tree" time before the cold weather surprises us. There are still summer things we can do. Help someone today and smile at everyone.

MAY 09, 2014 - Zero Hedge
A Must Read - Share
Every day this week saw early weakness (the dump) succumb to a rampathon (pump) but as those dump-and-pumps progressed the gap between small-cap/high-beta and large-cap/blue-chip widened and widened. The Russell (and the S&P) had its worst week in a month but the Dow (and just Trannies) managed to close the week green and new record highs. Homebuilders were the worst sector on the week (-2.5%) and Staples best with a modest gain.

First Alaska Copper River salmon of the season arrive in Seattle
The first planeload of fresh Copper River salmon from Alaska arrived Tuesday morning at Sea-Tac Airport where chefs were waiting eagerly.
The Alaska Airlines pilot carried the first 45-pound fish off the plane and handed it to Frank Ragusa of Ocean Beauty Seafoods who gave it a kiss.
Then the salmon was carved up and distributed to three chefs for a cook-off at cooking stations set up near an airport warehouse.
There were 24,000 pounds of the highly prized salmon on the plane.
Alaska Airlines says there will be at least five more flights Tuesday from Cordova to Anchorage to Seattle and across the United States.
Last year Alaska flew nearly 700,000 pounds of Copper River salmon.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
by Roald Dahl
Grandpa Joe Timeline and Summary
- We're introduced to Grandpa Joe at the very beginning of the story, where we learn that he's Mr. Bucket's father.
- Grandpa Joe, it turns out, shares one bed with the other three of Charlie's grandparents. They're all old and tired and never get out of bed.
- When Charlie asks about Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, Grandpa Joe tells him lots of stories, including the one about Prince Pondicherry.
- He also tells Charlie about the spies, and those mysterious workers who never leave the factory. How does Grandpa Joe know so much?
- Later, after Grandpa Joe finds out about Willy Wonka's Golden Ticket offer, he thinks it would be awesome if Charlie won one.
- After Charlie's birthday chocolate bar comes up bust, Grandpa Joe gives Charlie money that he's saved up, so that Charlie can try to find a Golden Ticket again. No luck.
- But then, Charlie does find a Golden Ticket, and Grandpa Joe is so pumped he leaps out of bed and starts dancing.
- The family all agrees – Grandpa Joe should be the one to go to the factory with Charlie.
- At the factory, Grandpa Joe seems totally thrilled by everything he sees. He also defends Mr. Wonka and his crazy ways to the other parents.
- Once all the other kids have met their fates, Grandpa Joe points out to Mr. Wonka that Charlie's the only one left.
- As it turns out, Mr. Wonka is going to give the factory to Charlie, and Grandpa Joe is beyond elated to hear this. In fact, he can barely believe it at first.
- In the end, Grandpa Joe, along with Charlie and Mr. Wonka, shoves the other grandparents and Mr. and Mrs. Bucket into the elevator, and off they go to their new home: Charlie's chocolate factory.

Asked to chose between experience and a "constitutional" newcomer with big plans, Polk County voters easily chose Tuesday to give incumbent Bill McCarthy four more years as sheriff.
McCarthy, a Democrat, now begins his second term while Republican challenger Dan Charleston will return to his job as a patrol sergeant for McCarthy.
Charleston's call for a more active sheriff's patrol — he planned to fire highly paid supervisors to provide more on-the-street deputies — won strong support among deputies. Charleston's plan for tougher immigration enforcement and his opposition to McCarthy-supported speed cameras also won the challenger fans among talk radio listeners. But that apparently never translated to voters in predominately Democrat Polk County.
McCarthy, a four-decade veteran of the sheriff's and Des Moines Police departments, touted mostly his management, including launching a complicated plan to improve the ability of emergency responders to communicate via radios in Polk County. While Charleston worked tirelessly to attend small group meetings, the sheriff saved most of his campaign muscle for some last-week-of-the-contest television commercials focused on his leadership skills.
The two candidates squared off head-to-head only once, at an Oct. 1 campaign forum where McCarthy attacked Charleston's description of himself as a change agent "interested in doing not what's politically correct but what's constitutional."
The sheriff, citing the challenger's Facebook page, then linked Charleston to an "oath keeper" group that McCarthy criticized as being anti-government. (Charleston disagreed.)
"This is the kind of sheriff that you'd be electing," McCarthy said at the forum as shouts erupted on both sides of the debate. "This is about as radical as it gets."

I know when you're Assistant Director in a very important think tank and exhausted from dealing with the world's most important media, it is impossible to multi-task, but governments can be quite good at that.
They can deal with European treaties and with immigration reform all at the same time!
Imagine that!
When you are a Trinity College boy, former top chap on the rugby field and working for an important think tank and with access to Major World Media life is good.
Sweaty old irish immigrants, construction workers or waitresses in The Bronx or Dorchester are really most inconvenient to your "sometimes" proud to be Irish view of yourself. Let's get rid of that issue!
Never mind Think Tank Man. With a bit of luck they will all be deported soon and we can get around to those European treaties full time.

The crash remains under investigation.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- U.S. Sen. Jack Reed issued a statement on the budget agreement reached Tuesday, which he said "reduces economic uncertainty and blunts the impact of the sequester. It will help save jobs, reduce unnecessary furloughs, protect vital programs like education from deep cuts, and should prevent another costly and wasteful government shutdown.
"However, I would have preferred closing corporate tax loopholes to restore investments in defense and education. And I am most disturbed that negotiators refused to include help for the unemployed as part of their package.
"Congress needs to act fast to preserve unemployment insurance or 1.3 million American job seekers will suddenly be without a financial safety net in the new year. Budgets are about priorities, and helping vulnerable families should be a bipartisan priority. ...
"While this agreement doesn't solve every issue facing the country and it could certainly do more for the unemployed and the middle class, it's at least a reversal of the governing by crisis method that some on the other side of the aisle have embraced in the past few years."

From his early childhood experiences, Freeland developed a personal interest in gardening. Years later, he challenged himself to design and develop his own private one-acre botanical retreat in his home town of Napa, California. Freeland and his wife, Sabrina, joined many gardening clubs and invited people to visit and shared their garden with others. What followed became many garden magazine photo features and HGTV garden tours for various shows from 2000 to 2004. SUNSET Magazine was the first garden magazine publication of his garden in 1989. The most recent publication, in FINE GARDENING magazine, February 2011, issue.
Freeland's professional career as a landscape designer began in 1995. His vivid imagination enables him to see the most challenging hillside situations as accessible, beautiful and dynamic personal retreats for his clients. Freeland's abilities as a draftsman, master carpenter, and metal fabricator all become part of his artistic design platform when creating these garden spaces. His horticultural experience with plants began as a child and has developed greatly and enthusiastically over the years.
Freeland's designed gardens are welcoming, engaging and reflect the owners' desires to have something very special in their private spaces.

Can you say "Southern Strategy?"
It all works to his advantage with his base--and he's pandering to closet racists everywhere. McCain can't wait to run against Obama.

This week Healthcare.gov, the website Alaskans and millions of other Americas will use to shop for health insurance, received harsh criticism for its lack of adequate security.
"A house on bad foundation," one security researcher said.
A hearing in Washington, D.C. lambasted the website where users must enter sensitive information like social security numbers and addresses. Some said that information is at now at risk of being hacked.
Two members of the Peace family didn't plan to sign up for insurance under the Afford Care Act. As Alaska Natives, they thought their health care needs were covered. But that's not the case for the entire family.
But the Peace family considered it because Janice's husband needed insurance, to keep from facing a penalty, they decided to start the process.
Like many trying to use the site, they ran into error pages and had a difficult time signing on.
"From the start I was like skeptical of (the website) because not many people were able to sign up with it from the get go," Janice said.
"At one point they asked for my social security number, and my kid's, and I was not comfortable with that. I told him, no, you can't have that information."
She says it didn't make sense to give their information when only her husband was trying to sign up.
Security professionals testified in D.C. that, as the website stands, there's a number of critical issues that could put personal information at risk.
The government agency overseeing the healthcare website disagrees. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services said, to date, there have been no successful security attacks and that the site has a robust system in place.
The non-profit Alaska Primary Care Association has 57 people across the state helping interested people sign up for the program. The association said so far they haven't heard about any security concerns from its clients.
"As far as Healthcare.gov, it's linked directly to the government and I assume they've got things in place to protect the individuals using that site," said Cherise Fowler with the association.
To date more than 3,000 Alaskans have signed up for insurance under the ACA. The Peace family said it will not be part of that total.

Michael Nyman's "Collections" | Sequenza 21 reviewJan 27th, 2011
"This album, Collections: Film Music Photography, features a DVD of a short film shot by Nyman, 50000 Photos Can't Be Wrong, a booklet of his photography titled Cine Opera, and a CD retrospective, Portrait of a Label. The film and photography are visually striking (and the film contains music not found on the disc), but I will focus on the CD in this review.
Portrait of a Label, curated by Nyman himself, consists of one track each from the first 16 releases on his label… The best tracks are the instrumentals, performed by the Michael Nyman Band. Some of these, such as Chasing Sheep is Best Left to Shepherds, are rerecordings of earlier pieces (this was part of Nyman's 1982 score to Peter Greenaway's The Draughtsman's Contract), so the retrospective covers not only the past five years, but a majority of Nyman's career.
While these pieces stand out for their Baroque flavor and forward propulsion, they border on too much similarity, so they are broken up by several vocal pieces…
A few slower and more introspective pieces, such as The Mistress from the score to Laurence Dunmore's The Libertine and To the Edge of the Earth from The Piano, have a heartbreaking beauty…
Collections can also be a starting place for someone becoming interested in contemporary music. Nyman's style – a little Baroque, a little Minimalist – would be appealing to many." (Adam Scott Neal)

Cancer: Living Well Despite with Win Boerckel (cont.)
wabe_grb_WebMD: Do most major health plans cover social worker visits?
Boerckel: It depends on the plan. Some will cover a limited number of visits similar to mental health benefits. There is a move to increase the latter to parity with medical health benefits. All of Cancer Care's services are available free of charge, and a number of other organizations such as the Wellness Community are similar.
Moderator: Can you explain a social worker's journey with the patient step by step? What can a patient expect and not expect?
Boerckel: We find that our workers start with the patient/family around the time of diagnosis. The worker usually then assists the patient in clarifying their treatment options and the decision-making involved in choosing the most appropriate treatment. The worker can be very helpful during the treatment phase as chemotherapy /radiation therapy can be uncomfortable and prolonged. The worker also serves a valuable role for the patient who achieves remission and feels a sense of vulnerability when the protective umbrella of treatment is no longer necessary. It's encouraging that we are helping more and more patients cope with the issues of survivorship.
Moderator: What are some of the main survivor issues?
Boerckel: An overwhelming anxiety that the disease will recur that can immobilize the recovered patient; a fear that without the chemo or radiation, the disease will return overnight.
Moderator: Do children have the same issues?
Boerckel: I've not worked with children, but our children's cancer workers tell me that children's issues are often more complex because they have a significantly different worldview than adults.
mold28_WebMD: Do you do work with family members also?
Boerckel: Yes, family members make up a large part of each worker's caseload.
Moderator: Let's speak about bereavement. What does the social worker do in that situation?
Boerckel: Cancer Care workers provide individual and group bereavement services to family members who have lost someone to cancer. The worker helps validate the bereaved person's feelings and works with them to help them confront the reality of their loss, the changes it has thrust upon their lives, and to find within each person the means to complete their grief journey.
Moderator: Well, our time is about up. Do you have any parting comments?
Boerckel: It certainly went quickly. I hope that anyone who has found out about Cancer Care this evening will visit our website ( www.cancercare.org), call our counseling line (1 800 813 HOPE), or email us so that we can provide whatever help they or their family need in the struggle with this disease.
Moderator: Thank you. That was great! Our guest has been Win Boerckel, CSW. Boerckel serves as prostate cancer program coordinator for Cancer Care of Long Island, overseeing the office's three prostate cancer support groups and providing individual counseling to prostate cancer patients and their families. He also leads support groups for lung cancer patients and on bereavement at the organization's Woodbury, N.Y. office.
Good evening.

Six Degrees of Puppets
Worth 1000 contests always fascinate me, so Worth 1000 + Muppets (most of them are Muppets, anyway, but you'll also find Wallace, Chucky and Alf) = pretty sweet. This particular contest asked Photoshoppers to stick puppets in unlikely situations. The one above is by taltieri is probably my favorite, but Animal in 300 and Bert and Ernie in 3:10 to Yuma are pretty awesome too. The Kermit and Miss Piggy entry is just… disturbing.
