Comments about Schulana Nocita:
The yarn is gorgeous and it is a pleasure to knit. But the first day I wore my beautiful pink top, the left side had dozens of fluffy pulls and snags from my shoulder bag...just from my car to the office. I don't know how I a going to salvage this top...and I have 10 more balls in gray!
I guess I'll carry a clutch and be veeeeerrrrry careful :)
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Post subject: date of conception
so i failed to mention that i took the morning after pill 4 days after march 28th. the doctor told me that i can take it up to 5 days to avoid pregnancy. i just read online that this is true due to the body producing a thinner lining to avoid attachment. if i had intercouse earlier in the week with partner 1, could i have been pregnant all along? can sperm live in the body for 5 days if both are healthy?

Decision time nears for expanded September rosters
September is when division titles are won and lost.
It's also the month when major-league rosters expand from 25 to 40 and minor-leaguers get called up to play on the big stage.
With the Padres' pitching staff in an almost daily state of flux and the left side of the infield at less than full strength, there is a good chance fans will see a large number of the Portland Beavers in Padres blue the final four weeks of the season.
"I don't like to call up so many players that we can't use them," said Padres manager Bruce Bochy. "But with our injury situation, we might call up a few more guys than normal because we have some holes to fill."
Shortstop Manny Alexander, who played 102 games for Portland, is already with the big club, helping to fill in for the injured Khalil Greene.
Pitchers Mike Thompson and Tim Stauffer took spots in the rotation left by injuries to Chan Ho Park and Clay Hensley -- and Stauffer has already been replaced by Brian Sweeney.
There certainly will be more changes after Sept. 1. The best guess on those in line for a promotion:
< Jack Cust, outfielder: A first-round pick of the Arizona Diamondbacks in 1997, Cust has turned into a journeyman left-handed hitter. He has major-league experience, having played in 66 big-league games with Arizona, Colorado and Baltimore. He's having a tremendous season at Portland where he's hitting .293, and his on-base percentage is a fantastic .466. He has 24 homers, 22 doubles, 66 RBIs, and he leads all of professional baseball with 127 walks.
< Jon Knott, outfielder: A right-handed power hitter, he's tied for the Pacific Coast League lead with 97 RBIs and is second in the league with 25 home runs. Knott, who has 115 career homers in the minors, played 19 games for the Padres in 2004, hitting .214 with no homers. Neither Cust nor Knott, however, is on the Padres' 40-man roster and unless a move is made, there may only be room for one.
< Terrmel Sledge, outfielder: He struggled early when he was up with the Padres, then performed well when he got a call in July. He's hitting .301 with 20 homers and 66 RBIs. He had a 13-game hitting streak heading into the weekend.
"I'm not sure about Knott," said Padres general manager Kevin Towers. "He has some power, and we could use some right-handed pop off the bench. But he's not a good pinch-hitter, and that's what we'd ask him to do. Sledge and Cust could help us off the bench. The problem is Cust isn't a good defender if we had to use him in the outfield, and he isn't on the 40-man roster. Sledge has probably earned another chance."
< George Kottaras, catcher: Ordinarily, Kottaras, the organization's best position prospect, would be a cinch to get a call. But he hits left-handed and the Padres already have three catchers, two of whom can hit lefty.
"George's time will come, but I don't want to bring him up just to catch in the bullpen," Towers said.
< Justin Leone, third baseman: He's hitting .271 with 20 homers and 70 RBIs at Portland. He played 31 big-league games for the Seattle Mariners in 2004, hitting six homers. He played one game for the Padres earlier this season. But with his power and the Padres' problems at third, it makes you wonder what's wrong with him and why he isn't with the big club.
"Again, we're a little short on right-handed hitters on our bench, so Leone is a possibility," Towers said. "He's a decent defender, so Boch could use him in double-switch situations."
< Paul McAnulty, outfielder/first baseman/third baseman: One of Bochy's favorites, McAnulty is hitting .309 with 17 homers and 70 RBIs at Portland. He's a good left-handed pinch-hitter, and the organization might like to take a look at him at third, where he has played 38 games for Portland this season.
"Everyone in the organization loves this guy," Towers said. "I don't know if he can play third base at the big-league level, and I don't know if we'd give him that chance while we're fighting for the pennant. But he does a lot of things well at the plate, in the field and in the clubhouse."
< Dewon Brazelton, right-handed pitcher: He struggled big time when he was with the Padres, but has good numbers at Portland -- 5-5 with a 3.56 ERA in 80 2/3 innings. The problem is he has been dropped from the 40-man roster and would be battling Cust and Knott for that last spot.
< Scott Cassidy, right-handed pitcher: The right-hander was one of the most reliable men out of the Padres' bullpen early in the season. When he slumped, he was sent to Triple-A. Since joining Portland, he has found his stuff, posting a 2-0 record, eight saves and an 0.56 ERA in 13 appearances, covering 16 innings.
< Tim Stauffer, right-handed pitcher: Called up on Monday to make an emergency start, the former first-round draft pick went six innings and beat the Dodgers. Despite a 6-12 record and a 5.07 ERA at Portland, he'll get called back. He could work as a starter or a long man in the bullpen.
"Cassidy is a for-sure call-up," Towers said. "He has earned the right to finish the season with us, and can help by adding some depth to the bullpen. We called Sweeney up first because he can start or work as a long man out of the bullpen. He just gives us more options at this particular time.
"Stauffer did a great job earlier in the week. On that performance alone he deserves to finish with us. His numbers in Portland aren't good, but he's still young, and he could still pay some dividends.
"Brazelton isn't on the 40-man roster, so I'm not sure what we'd do there.
"I like the idea of giving Boch some extra arms in the bullpen, especially guys who have been with us before, but we don't have much roster flexibility right now."
Around the bases
< Portland OF Terrmel Sledge was named the Pacific Coast League Batter of the Week after going 11-for-25 with four home runs and 13 RBIs in seven games.
< Eugene OF Chad Huffman, a second-round pick in June out of TCU, was named Northwest League Player of the Week. He has a 12-game hitting streak and is hitting .415 in August and .341 overall with eight homers, 15 doubles, and 35 RBIs in 49 games.
< Lake Elsinore 3B Chase Headley was named to the California League Postseason All-Star Team. He's hitting .283 with 11 home runs, 30 doubles and 58 RBIs.
< SS Matt Bush, the first player taken in the 2004 draft, played one game on a rehab assignment in the Arizona Rookie League and was shut down for the rest of the season. Bush played just 21 games this season after breaking an ankle in spring training and suffered a pair of hamstring injuries.
< RHP Cesar Carrillo, the Padres first-round pick in 2005, has been shut down the rest of the season with elbow problems. Padres officials insist the injury isn't serious and that he won't need surgery. He hasn't pitched since June.

Hello all,
I am going to be teach my student about the FOIL method of multiplication. In order to do that, I thought it would be a nice visual helper if I could draw arrows curving from one number to another and I was wondering if that was possible with LaTeX.
For example if I have
(a + b)*(c + d), I want to draw an arrow coming out of "a" going over "b" and terminating at "c". Can that be done with LaTeX?
Thanks for any input!

text: This was excellent, but beware, it doesn't make much sauce. You have to use your "plating knowledge" to make it go around for all the meat, but a little goes a long way. I think I would make this one again, if I had the stuff on hand. I used the recipe side suggestions, except for the asparagus, cause I am fixing that for Easter, but the potatoes were delicious and easy. Great meal.

Funds returned to La Jolla's coastal access account
By Kathy Day
La Jolla's Coastal Access and Parking Board account is whole again — after a roundabout series of events that culminated in settlement of a claim against Promote La Jolla and some of its current and former directors.
Last week, Rick Wildman — on behalf of what remains of PLJ — received a check for $3,999.01 from First Republic Bank, resolving the last apparent issue surrounding the organization's dispute with the bank over funds that are to be used to assist with parking and traffic issues in La Jolla.
When PLJ failed to pay $65,000 that was due on a line of credit used to fund a La Jolla marketing campaign, the bank took the money to cover the debt. It had been held in a certificate of deposit under Promote La Jolla's name, meant for Coast Access expenses. There was $3,999.01 left after the debt was covered. When Wildman received that check he returned it because he disputed the bank's taking of the money.
Joe LaCava, who heads the Coastal Access board," explained that the group has "a narrow mission to improved the quality of parking" and create a shuttle system to bring people to the Village and the shoreline from "remote parking lots." However, they have not come up with a financially viable solution to a shuttle system so that money is held in reserve in a city account.
It currently subsidizes parking for about 100 employees in the Village, using funds from developers that go into a special fund under a California Coastal Commission requirement that they must offset the impacts of their projects. The fund — now totaling about $440,000, according to LaCava — also previously provided reduced-cost bus passes to Village workers.
The $65,000 was embroiled in the city auditor's report that Promote La Jolla had misused city funds as well as in a claim filed by the City Attorney. The claim was settled when PLJ's insurance company agreed to cover the costs, which totaled $112,070.
The city has since received the $65,000 and, now that the money issues are resolved, the parking board has held its first meeting in months and is gearing up to take another look at possible shuttle options.
"It's time to dust off the ideas and see if we can find different ways" to come up with a remote parking solution," LaCava said.
At a meeting on Feb. 2, the group spent some time explaining its operations and mission to Phil Coller, president of the newly formed La Jolla Village Merchants Association. Assuming the group accomplishes its goal of becoming the city-approved operator of the La Jolla business improvement district, it is likely they will have appointees on the parking board to replace PLJ's members.

OAKLAND -- The Oakland school board voted 5-1 Wednesday to approve eliminating or reducing full service programs like adult education, which will affect hundreds of students and employees.
Although Gov. Jerry Brown's budget plan, which will shift adult education programs from K-12 schools to community colleges, is not finalized, the board needed to vote Wednesday to comply with a California Education Code. The code requires that employees whose positions may be eliminated or reduced must be notified by such changes by March 15 for the 2013-2014 school year.
Board President David Kakishiba voted to discontinue adult education programs in the school district, "in the context that we are looking to build back adult education, Family Literacy Programs and GED services in this city whether it's in OUSD or Peralta Colleges or in a contract with OUSD."
Board member Roseann Torres cast the lone "no" vote.
The district will save $1 million in costs for all teachers, administrative positions and teaching by eliminating adult education. The board's vote allows for that money to be spent on other costs in the district.
"It's important for us to figure out how to get more financial resources into our high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools to help the 36,000 students," Kakishiba said. "All of our schools are under resourced. We have to figure out how to give more capacity to our schools and for me, I think this is less hard."
That $1 million funding for the remaining programs was set aside after a majority of the funding was cut in the event that state funding allowed for the programs to stay in the K-12 schools. The district already expects cuts amounting to $14 million in federal funding, and plan to accommodate that loss with funding cuts of their own along with administrative restructuring.
General Education Development and English as a Second Language programs may survive if shifted to higher education, but as some speakers pointed out during the meeting Wednesday, programs like the Family Literacy Program cannot.
"Family literacy programs by design cannot move to community colleges. If you eliminate it, they are gone," said Victoria Carpenter, a teacher for Family Literacy at La Escuelita Elementary School. "These classes connect the parents with the teachers; they connect the parents with their children. If you eliminate it, it's not going to the community college."
The board can rescind the layoff notices before May 8 if budget plans change.

SECOND TAKE - The Guardian
The worry is that the outsiders, through a mix of misunderstanding and malice, will block progress. The country is fractured, into near-independent Somaliland in the north and the chaotic south. But the three factions fighting for control in the south became two in June when an Islamic movement drove out the warlords who dominated Mogadishu. For all the talk of a Somalian Taliban, a loose alliance of Islamic courts has brought a sort of order to southern and central Somalia.
It faces the legitimate but impotent United Nations (UN)-backed government in Baidoa. Reconciliation between Islamists and the weakened government could give it a single source of authority and a prospect of development. The UN is calling for talks. But two dangers lie ahead. The first is the Islamists may fall further into the hands of extremists and fight on rather than talk. The second is the interim government could break apart into violence.
Somalia' neighbors, Ethiopia and Eritrea, are stirring the pot. The danger of a conflagration in Somalia as a proxy for an Ethiopian-Eritrean war is acute.
Recent US backing for a Somalian defense force, as opposed to the divisive issue of foreign peacekeepers, suggests there may be a way forward. There is talk of an African peacekeeping force. But the answer to the country's agonies must come from within.

Cruising Alaska with the V3
I've been up in Alaska for the last week and one of the fun things has been shooting with the new Nikon 1 V3. I'll be up front with you, I thought the camera would show up, I'd shoot some and then send it back. Such is not the case! I've shot and shot and shot with this camera and it is great! What you see here was shot with the 30-110 which I borrowed from Sharon. It was one of many times I borrowed that lens and just look at the results! I mean, look below at the enlarged section. Very stunning results as far as I'm concerned. This basically all metal camera that easily fits in your hand just produces what I feel and gorgeous images and at the same time, delivering fun!
I actually have some much more stunning and surprising images to post but we're running to catch a plane, off to North Dakota. I wanted though to post this handheld image just to elaborate a little more on this amazing little camera. I've had a number of emails since my first V3 post and the answer is, I would pick this over the Coolpix A or P7800 for a pocket camera. Simply amazing!

Horizon Oil Seeks Partner for PNG Gas Assets
International energy companies seeking a foothold in Papua New Guinea's nascent natural gas export industry are being courted with a new opportunity.
Sydney-based Horizon Oil is seeking to sell up to half of its assets in Papua New Guinea, after drilling results in the forelands region of the Southeast Asian country beat expectations and highlighted the potential for a new liquefied natural gas plant.
A deal could be worth around 250 million Australian dollars (US$259 million) based on recent transactions in Papua New Guinea, which U.K.-based consultancy Wood Mackenzie estimates has reserves totaling at least 26 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
Papua New Guinea's appeal as a gas exporter is growing in step with Asia's demand for natural gas, particularly in China which is striving to reduce its reliance on burning dirty coal for power. The International Energy Agency this month forecast that China's consumption of natural gas is poised to quadruple from 130 billion cubic meters in 2011 to 545 billion cubic meters in 2035.
Unlike rival LNG suppliers in the Middle East, shipments to Asia from Papua New Guinea won't pass through the Malacca Strait choke point near Singapore and freight charges are lower.
"We believe Horizon Oil has a commanding and material position in the liquids-rich sweet spot of the Papuan foreland basin and we have had strong interest in the sale from substantive LNG industry players," Horizon Oil Chairman Fraser Ainsworth told shareholders at the company's annual meeting in Sydney.
A successful sale would balance Horizon's oil and natural gas portfolio, which also includes producing and development assets in New Zealand and China, with financing for advancing its Papua New Guinea project, he said. It would also enable the company to firm up plans to pay dividends in future.
A person familiar with the matter said Horizon Oil had hired investment bank Lazard to lead the partial selldown of its Papua New Guinea assets. The company also owns a producing oil field in New Zealand, and is developing an oil project in southern China's Beibu Gulf in partnership with Roc Oil and China's Cnooc that is due to start production early next year.
Horizon's sale process comes just weeks after France's Total made its first foray into Papua New Guinea through an exploration deal with Oil Search in the Gulf of Papua. Separately, Texas-based InterOil said Nov. 16 it expects to agree the sale of part of its interest in two fields and its Gulf LNG project in the country within weeks.
However, Papua New Guinea isn't immune from headwinds such as currency swings buffeting its bigger neighbor Australia, where US$180 billion of investment is currently being plowed into gas-export projects and several more developments are on the drawing board.
Earlier this month ExxonMobilid the cost of its PNG LNG project in Papua New Guinea had blown out to US$19 billion, in part due to exchange-rate movements. It also blamed local landowner disputes and torrential rain for the overrun from its earlier budget of US$15.7 billion.
Analysts and investors seeking to put a value on Horizon's assets will likely look to the acquisition by Japan's Mitsubishi in February of stakes in several natural gas discoveries and prospects in Papua New Guinea from Canada's Talisman Energy for US$280 million.
Talisman is a joint venture partner of Horizon Oil in the PRL 4 and PRL 21 tenements, which respectively contain the Stanley and Elevala/Ketu discoveries. Sydney-based Horizon owns 50% of PRL 4 and 45% of PRL 21, as well smaller stakes in two adjacent blocks.
However, the price tag for half of Horizon's equity will have been boosted by the successful Ketu-2 well in PRL 21, recent reserves upgrades, and this year's final investment decision taken on developing the Stanley field.
The Ketu field contains a mean contingent resource of 432 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 19.3 million barrels of condensate, Horizon said in a regulatory filing last month.
That adds to the estimated 434 billion cubic feet of gas and 24.6 million barrels of condensate at the Elevala field, with the joint venture now preparing to drill another prospect – Tingu – in the first half of next year.
Energy companies typically look for 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas reserves for each million ton of annual LNG capacity they plan to build. When added to gas reserves discovered at Stanley, this suggests Horizon has already found enough gas to support a 1-million-ton-a-year LNG plant, while further drilling could see this capacity at least double in size.
"The increased gas volume–around 1.2 trillion cubic feet in PRLs 4 and 21 combined–is approaching the scale required for a mid-scale LNG project and we are advanced in our pre-feasibility studies of this opportunity," the company said in a statement to the Australian Securities Exchange on Oct. 12.
In July, Horizon said any LNG scheme could happen alongside current plans to recover condensate from the gas for early export via the Fly River.
Companies in China, Japan and South Korea that rely on LNG to plug a gap in their energy mix have been actively seeking equity in LNG projects as well as traditional offtake deals.
Citing a person familiar with the situation, Dow Jones Newswires reported Feb. 7 that Korea Gas is in talks to form a consortium with Mitsui and Japan Petroleum Exploration to join InterOil's project in Papua New Guinea.

When I joined Snowmass Rotary a few years ago, I knew it would be a good way to try to make a positive difference in my hometown, but I had no idea it would be so much fun. Yes, Snowmass Rotary's focus is "Service above Self," and our activities center around raising money for local grants and scholarships, global causes such as polio eradication, and local volunteer work. But in the process, Snowmass Rotary provides some pretty cool opportunities to learn more about the people and places in our valley. A few highlights of the last year:
• Seeing a presentation from our own Dr. Mel Spira on his travels to southwest Asia and Africa to repair cleft palates and literally give people new faces;
• Multiple discussions with the great people at Challenge Aspen and recovering war veterans and families whose visits to Snowmass are some of their best times of the year;
• Volunteering at the Snowmass Rodeo (one of the longest running rodeos in the state), and learning to get there early so you are not assigned to the petting zoo;
• A private tour of Krabloonik to learn about their sled dogs;
• An inside tour of the airport and the thinking behind the new plans for expansion;
• Discussions with incredibly capable local students who received Rotary scholarships;
• A summary from a local businessman of the rapidly changing medical marijuana regulations and what it is like to build a legal business in that industry;
• A presentation from the founders of Aspen Brewing Co. and how they navigated Aspen's zoning complexity and a bankrupt equipment supplier that shut down their production for months;
• A presentation from Aspen Skiing Co.'s Rich Burkley on how the USA Pro Cycling Challenge race is organized and financed.
For all the talk about what needs to be fixed in Snowmass, our Wednesday morning Snowmass Rotary meetings are a great reminder of what we already have - a community of fun people who share a passion for helping others. Visit www.snowmassrotary.org for more information.
Snowmass Rotary's largest fundraiser, the Snowmass Wine Festival, takes place on Sept. 15 on the Snowmass Mall. The wine dinner, with a Spanish theme, is set for Sept. 14 at the Artisan Restaurant. For details and tickets, go to www.snowmasswinefestival.com.
Andrew Light is a Roaring Fork Valley native and will be president of the Snowmass Rotary Club next year.

What is in this article?:
Strawberry growers too have been contending with a challenging year as late spring rains damaged early crops and have pushed the coastal strawberry harvest into the fall, when they are vulnerable to further weather damage.
Glenn McMillan, Salinas branch manager with Helena Chemical Co., said late rain forced some growers to discard fruit early on, which will likely impact total crop production, unless an open fall allows production numbers to catch up.
The last week of June McMillan said PCAs were starting to treat for "the usual suspects" including lygus, western flower thrips, spider mites, botrytis and gray mold.
"Flower thrips seem to be worse this year, I'm seeing some growers having trouble with that and we may be spraying earlier for thrips than we did in the past," he said.

My whole setup is cheap, cheap, cheap. Recall my setup, servers and
my workstation in the basement hooked together with a cheap Netgear
10/100baseT switch. That goes to the HUB. What I failed to mention
is that there are two HUB's. One HUB is 10baseT and the other
100baseT. It does seem that once the 100baseT HUB is hooked to the
switch, the switch sees it only as 100baseT and 10baseT cannot
communicate through that HUB to the switch, so I added a second
10baseT hub for things like my network printer.

I am considering consolidating everything down to one switch. I
need at least 16 ports, I figure 24 to have room to grow. I would
also like to have two gigabit ports, one for MY workstation and one
for the main file server. I am considering the "Netgear Model FS526T
24-port Smart Switch" right now, unless folks have a recommendation
for a better unit.

The St. James Fire Department responded to a call at 4:40 p.m. reporting a large house fire at a residence located on Seventh Avenue North, St. James.
The house belongs to Pastor Jose Carreon. He and his son were not at home at the time of the fire, but one adult woman and three children were home when the fire began. All individuals located in and around the house escaped without injury.
Responding to the fire were units from Ormsby, Odin, LaSalle and Darfur as well as the St. James Fire Department and Ambulance.
Initial reports indicate that the fire began on the southeast side of the home, but quickly spread to the rest of the house. Local fire departments continued to work on the home until 1:25 a.m. when they finally left for the night.
St. James Fire Chief Jason Monnens said the departments handled the fire well, with the only difficulty coming from the crowd that gathered to witness the burn. He wanted to remind the public that a burning building is dangerous, and that they should clear the streets of any vehicles so that fire trucks can get water on scene as quickly as possible. He also warned that in the future, vehicles may be ticketed in an emergency situation if they are parked near the scene.
A Fire Marshal visited the scene of the fire the following day, but the cause of the incident is still under investigation. An insurance investigation is also taking place at the residence.
The Carreon family is reportedly doing well, all things considered.
The fire serves as a reminder to everyone to take precautions to ensure that your family is ready in an emergency situation. It only takes minutes for a fire to burn out of control, so careful inspection of your fire alert systems is key, along with a detailed escape plan that the family knows and is ready to follow.
For more photos and a video of the fire, visit the Plaindealer website online and follow us on Facebook.

Crusaders of St. Mary
Founded: 1947 in Madrid, Spain; approved as a secular institute of diocesan right, 1988.
Purpose: To focus on the formation of young people toward integrating the spiritual with the secular through application of Ignatian spiritual exercises with Marian devotion.
Antonio Pérez-Alcalá
(703) 536-3546
Biography of the Founder:
Fr. Tomás Morales was born in Macuto, Venezuela on October 30, 1908. He studied at the school of the Jesuit Fathers in Chamartin (Madrid) and later, Law in the Central University of Madrid,coming first in his class. He actively lived the reality of university life at that time as President of the Catholic Students. He did his doctorate in Bologna, Italy, receiving the Victor Manuel II award. At the age of 23 he entered the Company of Jesus in Chevetogne, Belgium and was ordained on May 13, 1942.
In 1946, he returned to Madrid, where he began an intensive apostolate among workers. With them he founded the Home of the Worker, an apostolic movement of great vitality, which set in motion a number of social projects.
His fundamental vocation, where he put all his energies and his radical capacity for dedication, was working to reach the fully responsible incorporation of the laity into the evangelical mission of the Church. A fruit of his labor in this field was his most important work: the foundation of the Secular Institutes of the Crusade of Mary; the movement for married couples, Homes of Mary; and the apostolic youth movement, Militia of Mary. His experiences and educative approaches appear clearly in his books: Forge of Men - concrete points to direct the formation of apostles and movements of committed laity -, Laity on the Move - a series of encouraging principles to promote the apostolic action of the laity-, Hour of the Laity, reflections on the potential strength of the laity and on the greatness of the lay Christian vocation consecrated in Baptism.
Lately, as well as other spiritual writings, intended for the members of the institutes that he founded, he wrote Sketches of Witnesses to Christ for Modern Times, the lives of relevant saints, collected in twelve volumes, one for each month of the year.
God granted him a rich variety of human, moral and spiritual qualities; a very firm will; bravery and freedom; a capacity for hard work; intellectual capabilities and a great sensitivity; love for the individual man and for nature. Intrepid, in the beginning he took on the works founded on the supernatural virtues of faith, love of the Pope, of the Church, of Our lady, of prayer. From here sprung his appreciation and links with contemplative orders, especially with the Carmelites, and the notable number of vocations to this form of life which the Holy Spirit raised up through him.
His life has been a full and intense one, a life of total commitment to increasing and untiring apostolic work. Now, still present in another form, let us be more sensitive to his ideas and teachings, especially those of us who have seen his example.

USA, 2002, 135 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: African-American, Based on a Book, Crime, Drama, Social IssuesLanguage: English
Spike Lee's bracing adaptation of David Benioff's novel is a vibrant, vital motion picture. Edward Norton plays Monty Brogan, a harmless drug dealer who has 24 hours of freedom before serving a seven-year jail sentence. Nervous, confused, and terrified, Monty turns to his closest friends for support: Frank Slattery (Barry Pepper), a cocky stockbroker who resents Monty for throwing his life away; Jakob Elinsky (Philip Seymour Hoffman), a hapless high school teacher who is attracted to one of his students (Anna Paquin); and Monty's heartbroken father (Brian Cox), who blames himself for Monty's demise. And then there is Naturelle (Rosario Dawson), Monty's beautiful girlfriend, who may or may not be guilty of ratting Monty out to the cops. Monty spends his last day trying to ignore the inevitability of time, but everyone and everything only reminds him of the bleak, unpromising days that lay ahead. With The 25th Hour, Spike Lee revisits the fiery territory of 1989's Do The Right Thing. Frustrated by Hollywood's cold shoulder toward the tragedy of September 11th, Lee attacks the subject with fervor, resulting in a film that brilliantly captures the mood and atmosphere in New York City in the months following the attack. The film features stellar contributions from composer Terence Blanchard, cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, and Lee's ensemble cast.

The Aeneid
by Virgil
The Aeneid Questions
Bring on the tough stuff - there's not just one right answer.
- Why do Aeneas and the Sibyl leave the underworld through the ivory gate of false dreams?
- Do you think Virgil believes his story is, for the most part, true, or is he self-consciously crafting a fictional narrative? What difference does it make?
- We know that Virgil considered his poem unfinished. How does this change the way in which you go about interpreting it?
- According to legend, on his deathbed Virgil gave instructions for his poem to be burned. Why do you think he wanted to do this?
- Many readers have considered the second half of Virgil's poem to be weaker than the first half. And yet, in Book 7, the poet announces that "A greater history opens before my eyes, / A greater task awaits me." Is this just wishful thinking trying to gussy up lame material? Why might Virgil have thought that the second half of the poem was "a greater history"?

Your first look at the mammoth apartment building Fairfield Residential wants to build on old MKT depot site in West End
For six years there's been a gaping hole at Ross Avenue and Houston Street, which had been the site of the historic Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad depot till TCI West End Inc. illegally razed the structure only to find itself on the losing end of a court battle with the city of Dallas. But two months back there were signs of life: An applicant had come before the Landmark Commission's Central Business District/West End Task Force with plans to build a five-story apartment building and six-story parking garage on the vacant lot.
At the time we'd asked for an early look-see at the development; and at the time the developer, Fairfield Residential, said they'd rather wait till all the details were sorted out. Because building in the West End Historic District is no easy feat, given the fact that anything new constructed there has to look like something old, which is to say it has to look like it belongs in a "turn-of-the-century red brick warehouse district of one- to six-story structures oriented to nearby railroad yards, including governmental, office and light industrial structures representing low-scale, urban, mercantile history of late 19th century Dallas."
And that ain't easy, especially when you're planning on building something as mammoth as Fairfield's proposed development. Finally, though, Fairfield returned to the task force yesterday with the renderings you see below, which received the blessings of the task force. Next, the certificate of appropriateness is sent to the Landmark Commission, and if it's approved there, next stop are the building officials who will officially okee-doke the deal. But no need to wait to see how the thing's supposed to look …

Every time I read abou this school system it just seems to get more messed up. Best theing for it is a whole new group of people come in and take over. Some of the board members sound like real buttclowns.

getthetruth The pay to play money has never been spent. How can it offset the cost of transportation? I paid that money for sports and thats what it needs to be spent on.

getthetruth, did your wife vote to bring back bussing? Hard to do when you don't show up for the meeting. Which one of you is on the school board, you or your wife? She was against bringing back bussing till a new school levy past. Didn't want to be the only one to vote against it so she just didn't show up for the meeting.

armybrat: Warren has no more upheavals than any other school district. The only difference is that Warren has a few members of the community who are more vocal in criticizing, bashing and blaming the school's administration for every little thing they personally disagree with. They never offer solutions or offer to help. They just look for opportunities to try to impress people with their "wisdom" and their all-knowing knowledge of how the school system is really run. Just don't confuse them with the facts...

Can the Warren BOE find any more ways to inconvenience people. Already bought a car and had all the arrangements made and they up and change everything. I hope like h*** they are happy with themselves. Where did all this money come from to bring back bussing? Has it been there all along? What have they done with all the pay to play money. We just need a whole new school system.

Smooch,Smooch,Smooch, buy those votes. Enjoy the bussing this year, it will be gone after the renewal levy is over. Anyone want to bet the enrollment numbers still drop?

Three Awesome iPod Nano Watch Designs
MNML – Exciting New Multitouch watch design ($34/$69)
A wicked new concept to house the iPod Nano and turn it into a slick wrist watch from MINIMAL whose diverse work spans industries ranging from technology, interaction and consumer products to fashion, furniture and environments. From brand-defining icons like the Nike Presto Watch and Ooba Bassinet to game-changing new experiences like the Xbox Kinect, MINIMAL is helping define some of the most anticipated new products and experiences for brands such Xbox, Nike, Dell, Microsoft, Apple and Steelcase.
The project has been funded through Kickstarter and has 24 days left before it's "final". There are two equally awesome concepts, TikTok and LunaTik.
TikTok is a simple snap in design. It allows the user to easily and securely snap the Nano into the wrist dock. It cleanly and simply integrates the Nano and transforms it into a modern multifunction timepiece.
LunaTik is designed and intended to be a premium conversion kit for someone that wants to dedicate their Nano to being a watch and the newest conversation piece with their friends. It is forged from Aerospace Grade Aluminum and then machined via CNC into its final form.
The straps are made from high grade silicone rubber and the hardware is solid stainless steel not some chrome plated brass that will wear off. The quality of these watch cases and straps will be scrutinized very carefully and produced in the same factories that produce the best watches for companies like Nixon, Diesel, Vestal, and Nike.
HEX watchband for iPod Nano ($24)
The Hex watch band is made out of a custom premium silicone strap. It features a great pop in and out design as well as integrated button controls onto the watch itself. It also includes an audio port cover with an inline orientation so it covers up from unwanted fuzz and whatever else you could get caught in your sleeve. The HEX iPod strap comes in 9 different colors to fit every taste.
Griffin Slap Wristband ($24)
Remember the slap bracelet? Remember how much fun it was? We've brought it back. We've wrapped a memory-metal wristband with soft silky silicone. Slap's flexible, spring-steel band lies flat and rigid until you slap! it onto your arm. Snap Slap open, then snap Slap shut around your wrist. (Say that 10 times real fast.) The Slap band self-adjusts to a comfortable fit, exactly your size.
For your iPod, we've equipped Slap with a generous frame of silicone that holds your iPod securely and shrugs off bumps and jolts. Slap protects the dock connector and volume controls but leaves the headphone port open so you can plug in and listen any time. Speaking of time, you can press the Sleep/Wake button through the frame to check the time or control iTunes. The watch face display of your iPod nano turns Slap into a fun, handy classic timepiece.
- Flexible spring-steel band wrapped in soft silicone snaps securely around your wrist to keep your iPod nano close at hand
- Thick silicone frame protects your Multi-Touch display, volume controls and dock connector
- Frame covers the volume and sleep/wake buttons with protective silicone but still allows touch-through control of your iPod nano

Use these tips when your back aches.
Keep moving
If you can, walk for 10 to 20 minutes at a time every 2 to 3 hours. Walk on level surfaces, not on hills or stairs. Walk quickly if you can, and swing your arms as you walk.
Lying down for too long can make back pain worse. Sitting can make it worse too. Change positions every 30 minutes. If you must sit for long periods of time, take breaks. Get up and walk around, or lie flat to gently stretch your back.
Exercise helps low back pain. Learn about some exercises you can try:
When you do lie down, protect your back on the way down. And learn the sleeping positions that protect your back.
Ice and heat
There is no rule about using heat or ice for back pain. You can try each to see which works best for you.
Medicine for pain
Pain medicine can help you recover from low back pain by controlling pain during rest and activity. For best results:
For most low back pain, you can take over-the-counter pain medicine such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, for example) or ibuprofen (such as Advil or Motrin) or naproxen (such as Aleve).
If you have been prescribed a muscle relaxant or an opiate for severe pain, carefully follow your doctor's advice.
Movement tips

The arrival of King Robert to King's Landing. I believe that's Ser Jaime in the front, while in the upper left corner we can just about get a look at the Hound with his helmet on. Very imposing!
Also, very notably, look at the Stark banner here. The lower part is clearly grey in this color-corrected shot, which should settle concerns over the green hue of this lower-division. It's fascinating that in some cases they adjust the color of things to compensate for filming on camera and the inevitable color-correction that will take place. It seems like green has been slightly pulled out of the final images that we'll be seeing on the show.

Constipation and diarrhea are experienced often by people with cancer. When you are constipated, you may have fewer bowel movements than what is normal for you. Your bowel movements may be hard or dry, and more difficult to pass. Changes in bowel function can be caused by changes to your body's metabolism. These can be caused by disease, medications, dehydration or changes in daily habits and activities that disrupt your bodily functions.
It is important to treat constipation for your comfort and quality of life. When your platelet counts are low (thrombocytopenia), you are at increased risk for rectal bleeding while constipated.
Eat fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain foods to increase your fiber intake
Fruits: dried prunes, apricots, raisins
Vegetables: raw or cooked broccoli, green beans, spinach, leafy green salads

All about fresh, flavorful food
by Faith Moser
Faith Moser, recipe, recipes, breakfast, muffins, banana, whole wheat
Bananas are my youngest son's favorite fruit, so we always have plenty of them on hand—and that usually means that we also have plenty of ones that browned too quickly. This recipe is the perfect (and tastiest!) way too use up ripe bananas. (By the way, you can freeze ripe bananas; just peel and place in an airtight freezable container.)
Try substituting the walnuts with sunflower seeds, raisins or chocolate chips. These are perfect for breakfast, snacking or packed into a lunch box!
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 large egg
1 large ripe banana
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick), melted
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease and flour or line 24 mini muffin tins with paper liners.
3. In a large bowl, sift or stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon.
4. In a medium bowl, beat the egg, banana, brown sugar, melted butter, buttermilk and vanilla together.
5. Combine the dry and wet ingredients. Beat for 30 seconds, until ingredients are combined. Stir in the walnuts.
6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups.
7. Bake for 11 to 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle of a muffin.

Sidekicks Force Down B-52s 6-3
"Who are these guys?"
Dallas Sidekicks television play-by-play announcer Norm Hitzges asked that question during the 2nd quarter of the Sidekicks 6-3 win over the Wichita B-52s Thursday night. The expansion team from Wichita showed a great deal more skill and experience than in their first visit to Dallas on November 2nd, when Dallas blew out Wichita 15-3.
This B-52s side brought a new goalkeeper and several new players who have gelled as a unit. The improvement in the competition was felt at once as Wichita held Dallas to one goal in the first quarter. Wichita, however, is still an expansion team. Franck Mbemba's goal at 9:58 of the opening frame taught the visitors a very important lesson about free kicks: be ready for anything as soon as the whistle sounds. Senior referee Kevin Terry signaled to Mbemba to take the kick while the B-52s were still setting the defense. All 6 Wichita players watched the ball sail into the top of the net to give the Sidekicks the 1-0 lead.
Bruno Dumjovic scored his first goal as a Sidekick exactly 13 minutes into the second quarter, redirecting a rebound along the dasherboards from Franck Mbemba. Patrick Shamu joined the celebration exactly 42 seconds later with an unassisted goal that gave him 223 points for Dallas in his professional career. He now ranks #5 all-time in Sidekicks history in points (passing Mark Karpun, who earned 222 points in 6 seasons with Dallas from 1984-90).
Hector Cordoves of Wichita demonstrated that he learned the earlier lesson given to his club 26 seconds into the 3rd quarter off of a Colin Lawter pass that caught Dallas not paying attention. Gabe Arredondo scored a goal late in the period that the B-52′s argued did not cross the goal line. Television replays (not reviewed by the game officials) clearly showed the goal was valid. Arredondo scored his 6th goal of the season early in the 4th quarter.
Wichita pulled their goalkeeper in favor of a 6th attacker for the first time this season and very quickly found out how dangergous a gambit that is as Jamie Lovegrove intercepted the ball from the 6th attacker outside his offensive white light and tapped the ball easily into the empty net to seal the win.
Dallas improves to 7-2 on the season, temporarily 1 1/2 games behind first place Monterrey Flash and 1/2 game behind idle Hidalgo La Fiera for second. The ground gained will be short lived though, as the Flash travels to Saltillo (4-4) and La Fiera will feast on winless Texas in Beaumont Saturday evening. Wichita (3-5) hosts the Sidekicks on Saturday night in a game that was postponed from December 7 due to the ice storm that paralyzed north Texas and much of Oklahoma.
SIDENOTES: Forward Shaun David is taking what team owner Ronnie Davis described as "personal leave" from the Sidekicks. "He's a good player. We want him in a Dallas uniform, we need his experience," said Mr. Davis. "The door is open for his return whenever he is ready to do so." Club officials declined to comment on the record on the reason for David's temporarily leaving the team.

"EU Community" kick-off - Preparing the future of EU policy-making
Press release
BRUSSELS - "EU Community" was launched on 23 October 2013 in the Brussels' Network Offices of EurActiv, the leading online Media on EU news and policy debates.
"EU Community" aims to lay the foundations for a new era in EU policymaking by providing tools that help identify credible stakeholders and relevant documents. It builds on the latest developments in online technologies to aggregate information into EU stakeholder profiles and policy process visualisations.
Thierry Van der Pyl, Director of the 'Excellence in Science' programme at DG CONNECT, said: "The European Commission is pleased to see the "EU Community" project kick off and is looking forward to this consortium delivering concrete results in this challenging area. Exploiting research-driven ICT in real-life examples through the pilots will be an opportunity to demonstrate true added value for users and policy developers."
Christophe Leclercq, EurActiv Founder and Initiator of "EU Community" project said: "This is the most ambitious project on which EurActiv is currently working. For 15 years, we have provided transparency to EU policies through independent journalism. Once the EU Community project is implemented, EU stakeholders will have online tools connected to offline events to increase their efficiency. This will support the next era in EU Policy-making."
Antonis Ramfos, Delivery Director of Research & Innovation at INTRASOFT International SA said: "Previous Policy Support projects have mainly focused on developing new technology. This project is different. It focuses on new technologies and improved processes. Fusing these two worlds together and putting the users in the driving seat will provide the impact."
Over the next 36 months, a consortium of leading research centres, ICT SME's and media, will go through a process of prototyping new technologies, then test these in three concrete pilot cases and finally make plans for a wider roll-out over an EU policy media network by the end of the project.
The three EU pilot policy areas are 'Future of the EU', 'Renewable energy' and 'Innovation strategy'. They have been selected because they will also be very relevant for the next EU political mandate from 2014 to 2019.
Profile information and key documents from European stakeholders (policy-makers, experts, NGO's, journalists and informed citizens) will be aggregated and visualised to allow better stakeholder engagement with European decision makers.
