The 7 Worst Behaviors on Public Transportation
The Reading Over My Shoulder
As I mentioned, I do almost all of my writing on public transportation so I'm a little sensitive to people who like nothing more than spending their commute checking out my half-written Cracked columns or Hate By Numbers edits. But this grievance applies equally to newspaper snoopers and novel peepers too. Is it the worst thing in the world? No. Can you casually take a moment to glance at your neighbor's stuff just out of curiosity? Sure. Can you spend 50% of the ride creeping my screen while pretending you're not? Not without me calling you a dbag. Yes you. The dude next to me wearing too much cologne and who got on the train two stops ago. Yes, you with the Kenneth Cole shoes and Navy blue suit. And still. Still you're pretending you're not reading this? OK dude. Dude who is probably taking a train into the city solely for the purposes of buying a small girl from Thailand.
Yeah, that's right. Now look away. Good. I'm sorry. I just don't want any passenger sitting next to me checking out my stuff.
Obviously, this rule doesn't apply to everyone.
The In Through The Out Door
I can hear your exclamations now. (Yes, all the Cracked columnists can hear your exclamations. Didn't you know that? Oh, and all of us have bones made of adamantium except Christina, but she can fly.) "But Gladstone," you exclaim. "There are no 'in' doors or 'out' doors on subways and buses! Just one door."
But I have to disagree with you. There is certainly an 'in' and an 'out' door. When the doors open up and I'm trying to get out, then it's an "out" door. When I'm gone, then it becomes an "in" door. That shouldn't be so hard to grasp. I mean, think about your rectum. Oh, you already were? Cool. Anyway, you only have one anus but which way things are flowing can be kind of important, right? You wouldn't try to wipe yourself in the middle of excreting, would you? And yet some of these human toilet paper passengers try to get inside when my fellow commuters and I are just trying to exit. Yeah, I hear you exclaiming again. I just created a metaphor likening myself to feces. Yeah, well, y'know, shut up.
Yeah, this is what I think of you. Hurts, doesn't it?
The Getting Sodomized By Your Rickshaw Driver
Look, I don't want to hear it. Just because I want to be transported in a carriage by an Asian cartoon in a triangle-shaped bamboo hat does not mean that I'm asking to be anally penetrated against my will. I mean, with all the luxuries offered by our 21st century world have we really become so immune to these indignities? Just because we enjoy the ease and convenience of another human being dragging us to our destination somehow non-consensual sodomy is back on the table? I don't think so. And what's with you rickshaw drivers anyway? I would think that after a backbreaking day of transporting human cargo through busy city streets, you'd be too exhausted to even think of sexually violating your passengers. Is it just me? I've had it. I swear. One more time and I'm totally taking the bus.
You're on thin ice, buddy!

CAIRO — Egypt's military gave a "last-chance" ultimatum Monday to President Mohammed Morsi, giving him 48 hours to meet the demands of millions of protesters, or the generals will intervene and impose their own plan.
The military's statement put enormous pressure on Morsi to step down. Giant crowds demanding his departure in cities around the country for a second straight day erupted into delirious parties of celebration.
But any army move against Morsi after the two-day deadline risks a backlash from Morsi's Islamist backers, including his powerful Muslim Brotherhood.
After the army statement, multiple officials of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood insisted that the military and street protests cannot overturn the legitimacy of the president's election. Pro-Morsi marches began after nightfall in a string of cities around the country. In Cairo, thousands of Islamists massing outside a mosque near the Ittihadiya presidential palace reacted with shock and fury to the military announcement.
The army's stance also raises a unsettling prospect for many of Morsi's opponents as well — the potential return of the military that ruled Egypt directly for nearly 17 months after the Feb. 11, 2011 fall of autocrat Hosni Mubarak.
Hours after its announcement, the military issued a second statement on its Facebook page denying it intended a coup.
In its initial statement, the military said it would "announce a road-map for the future and measures to implement it" if Morsi and its opponents cannot reach a consensus within 48 hours - a virtual impossibility.
In a sign of Morsi's growing isolation, five Cabinet ministers said on Monday they have resigned their posts, the state news agency said.
Sunday's protests were the largest seen in Egypt in the 2½ years of turmoil since protesters first rose up against Mubarak in January 2011.
In Cairo, anti-Morsi youth attacked the main headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood with stones and fire-bombs, while Brotherhood supporters barricaded inside open fired on them. The clash ended early Monday morning when the protesters broke into the luxury villa and ransacked it, setting fires.
The crowds turned out again Monday across the country — in slightly smaller numbers, but in a more uproariously joyous mood after the military's announcement gave them hope of a quick victory. The group organizing the protests, Tamarod, Arabic for "Rebel," issued an ultimatum of its own, giving Morsi until Tuesday afternoon to step down or it would escalate the rallies even further.

My favorite memories of Vietnam are from my program's excursions. We were based in busy Ho Chi Minh City – Vietnam's economic capital – but we also spent two weeks in the rural Mekong Delta and three weeks in central and northern Vietnam. The excursions allowed us to meet new people and experience the diversity of the country.
This photo was taken in the Mekong Delta where we spent an afternoon at Rừng Tràm Trà Sư – a protected mangrove forest and bird habitat in the An Giang province. After learning about mangrove ecology and the park's many species of plants and animals, we took a boat tour to observe the park for ourselves. The beauty and serenity of the mangrove forest was overwhelming. As we were navigated through the water on the boats, our tour guides directed our attention to egrets nesting in the trees, other birds flying overhead, and lotuses blossoming in the water.
After meandering through the busy streets in Lisbon's city center, our tour guide led us to the Old City, which is a less traversed, more residential area of Lisbon. With heavy Arab influence, the pathways were narrow, the colors vibrant, and the commotion constant. Parakeets hung out of each and every window, greeting us with chirps and squawks, while local children kicked soccer balls along the walls, stained with running water and bleached with evidence of sun-kissed afternoons. When we were leaving the city, I turned around and captured this moment – a moment where the sun lit up copper rooftops and bounced onto the myriad of clothes dangling from quivering wires. Having washing machine and dryers was something that I took for granted; not once in my 21 years of life did I ever think I'd have to hang my clothes outside to dry, a task that seemed more tedious and risky than anything else. Never did I think that hanging clothes to dry could be so beautiful, with light enhancing the bright colors of the shorts, shirts and pants that billowed in the breeze. The clips, gripping the clothes tightly, matched the intense hues of the clothes, which stood out against such a rustic backdrop.
Clothes can tell us so much about a culture, and the fact that the residents of the Old City hang their clothes out to dry epitomizes a difference between the American and European lifestyle. Most people in the United States care way too much about their designer clothes to let them hang precariously on a wire, where any passerby, including the pesky wind, could snatch an article or two; yet this Portuguese family, along with a plethora of others, hang their clothes out on these wires across the city, a sign of trust and familial community. With the privilege of washers and dryers, we may overlook the beauty of simplicity, community, and what our clothes say about us to those around us. When I look at this clothesline, I want to know who wears that baggy sweater, who runs around in those patterned shorts, and where I can find myself a pair of those tie-dye leggings.

If Kevin Jonas would just quit the boy band and take a few more guitar lessons, he might have half a chance at a decent solo career.

A heart melting-ly sweet guy... That is the absolute definition of perfection. Even if you are on the brink of tears if he starts laughing, so do you. You can't help but want to be close to him. His smile literally is irresistible.
He is the mental thought "There he is..." the weak at the knees, what is happening to me?, How is he so easy to love?, and every fiber of your being wants to go straight up to him and kiss him and tell him that you are meant. Then you realize you can't, and it breaks your heart. Kevin Jonas if you are reading this you should know that I mean every word because I'm a caring person.

In July 2011, Bethenny Frankel told PEOPLE she had "anxiety" about her age when it came to trying for more children. In February, she admitted her fears came true when at eight weeks pregnant she had a miscarriage.
"It can be different for everybody," Frankel says of the heartbreaking event on Tuesday's episode of her talk show, Bethenny, which featured guest Dr. Roshini Raj. "For me, it's that I'm older. I'm 41. That was ringing in my head and that it's high-risk. But, I'm lucky to have my first child."
Frankel was especially disappointed about losing the baby because she "accidentally found out" from her doctor that she would have had another daughter.
"For me it was thinking about Bryn running around with another girl," she says.
Frankel can now relate to other ladies who have been through the same thing.
"I've honestly had women that I've been friends with in the past [tell me] they had a miscarriage," she explains. "And I kind of didn't really understand, and I'd say, 'I'm so sorry that's terrible.' But not until you really go through it, do you understand what it means. In your head, it's a person that could never be. You blame yourself as a woman."
Frankel says she got through the traumatic situation with the help of female peers.
"It was really just something that women were so supportive [about] and it was great to kind of go through that with other women," she says. "It's not really about me and my experience it's just kind of about being able to talk about it and women knowing that it's so common and it's not their fault."

A text indicates "I am the church of the most august royal couple Constantine and Helen. In the times of sultan Ahmed I was entirely built (rebuilt?). In times of Abdul Mejit I was adorned as befits me and in the era when the renowned Paisios was bishop through efforts and expenses by the people of Sinasos erected from its foundations in 1729. Repaired in 1850."
So now you know as much as I do. I think the church was founded in ancient times, then destroyed and rebuilt, maybe a number of times. I guess it has been in use in the early 20th century, it now, seemingly slightly restored, can be visited as a kind of museum. It's in the heart of town.

Wando had been in a similar situation before. In Week 3 this season, Colleton County, which had lost 36 consecutive games, shocked the Warriors in a rare Cougars victory.
Entering this past Friday night's game against the Warriors, Cane Bay had lost 10 consecutive games, including a winless 0-9 current season.
Wando refused to go through that again, though, winning 34-13 in front of the ChopHouse to clinch third place in 4A Region 7.
Goose Creek and Stratford, which are both undefeated, battle on Friday for the region title, while West Ashley grabbed fourth and Cane Bay was handed fifth.
On Friday night, Wando outscored Cane Bay 20-6 in the second half to pull away. Wide receiver Darius Wade had five receptions for 166 yards and two touchdowns. Six other Warriors caught passes and eight players combined for 128 rushing yards.
Linebacker Ryan Williams had a team-high six solo tackles, three assists, four quarterback hurries and five ball deflections. Fellow linebacker Mat Norman continued his impressive season, contributing five solo tackles, three assists, three ball deflections and a forced fumble.
Like last season, Wando has a strong core of linebackers. Norman leads the team in total tackles, Tyler Ragsdale is second and Williams is fourth among Warrior defenders.
Before Friday's game, Cane Bay (0-10, 0-3) hadn't scored more than one touchdown since Oct. 4 in a 34-20 loss to Colleton County.
The Warriors (4-6, 2-2) step outside of their region on Friday in the regular season finale at Sumter (4-5-1).

Ryan Gosling: How He Weaves His Magic Spell
But how does Ryan Gosling stack up in his real-life romance with actress Eva Mendes?
The "hey girl" Internet obsession, 32, "is an incredibly sweet boyfriend," a Gosling source tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story. He and Mendes, 37, "get along so well because she's not needy or smothering," says another insider. "They just work."
Mendes is hardly the only one to fall under Gosling's spell. The former Mouseketeer – who brought his mom, Donna, as his date to the Jan. 7 Gangster Squad premiere in L.A. – is "funny and charming," says the film's director, Ruben Fleischer.
"When you're with him you feel different. He has a magnetic quality – larger than life."
And yes, he knows how to work his quirks – everything from self-designed tattoos to an enduring Disneyland fascination.
"Women love him because he's just kooky," says the insider. "He's definitely in touch with his childlike side."

6 Double Standards We're All Guilty Of
Every one of us has decried a double standard at some point. The double standard in the workplace when it comes to paying women, or among universities when it comes to letting in people who thought high school was boring.
But while we're wondering how admissions departments sleep at night, there are some much more common double standards that we rarely complain about since we're too busy obliviously believing in them. For instance ...
PSAs Are About Other People, Not Us
If you leave your house occasionally, even just through the magical portal of television, you'll be no stranger to PSAs (public service announcements) warning you about the dangers of drugs, drunk driving, texting while driving, not reading to your kids and not eating "the other white meat."
However, if a corny anti-drug commercial has ever made you want to shout at your TV "NOW I AM GOING TO GO DO EVEN MORE DRUGS!", you're not alone. Many people shout at their televisions, and also, the effectiveness of PSAs has been shown to be mixed, at best.
"I am going to do ALL THE DRUGS! I'll show YOU, TV!"
And it's not just because the commercials are corny.
While the college students in this study were aware of, and realistic about, dangers outside their control(like being hit by lightning, or the government trying to bring them down for no reason, or corporate America repressing them, or something), they were unrealistically optimistic about their odds of avoiding self-controllable risks, like drunk driving, drug overdoses, STDs or becoming a hipster.
Or a metrosexual.
Another study asked students about how "vulnerable" they were to 10 negative life events including heart attacks, alcoholism, diabetes, muggings and divorce, and of course they rated "the average student" as much more vulnerable to these things than they (or their close friends) would be.
Many smokers, for example, acknowledge that "most people" who smoke will get addicted and/or die from it, but also believe themselves, for some reason, to be an exception. If you showed them a PSA about how smoking is addictive and kills people, they'd just nod their heads and completely agree, as long as "people" doesn't include them.
Another experiment tried to individually educate people on their risks from stroke, cancer, heart attack and car crashes, but only the stroke and cancer messages stuck. Again: Cancer and stroke are things people tend to see as mysterious afflictions from God or fate, while heart attacks and car crashes are "controllable" things, and no matter what statistics you quote, people are convinced they've got it handled -- or maybe they subconsciously don't want to change their lifestyles.
"This cake could never kill me. We love each other so much."
Apparently you can't even convince people to wash their damn hands before eating or stop leaving potato salad out in the sun, or whatever, without them agreeing heartily that it's a problem and remarking how ignorant other people are about food safety, while making a sandwich on their dog's back.
I'm not sure I need to say this, but don't try this at home.
We Are Considerate Drivers, Other People In Traffic/Line Are Jerks
Evidence shows that bad traffic makes us physically and mentally ill, and apparently it also makes us really judgmental.
"Asshole! I bet you use dogs as sandwich tables!"
I don't know about you but I've caught myself a number of times thinking, while sitting in a traffic jam, about how everyone else "doesn't really need to be there"; that they're mostly all housewives who could have run their errands any time of day and happen to be out on the road at rush hour because they're stupid procrastinators, while all I want is to just get home from work. After a moment's logical thought, it's pretty clear that most people around me are also just trying to get home from work.
Part of it is not being able to put a face on most of the other drivers, giving me a blank slate to project all kinds of prejudices on them. In one study where researchers stopped a car too long at a green light, the test subject behind the car was more likely to honk if they couldn't see the driver -- probably imagining all kinds of awful things about the monster inside.
Skull recreated from drivers' descriptions of the unseen driver blocking them in traffic.
In addition to hiding the driver, they also tried another round where they placed a rifle in the back window, a good prop to help an already angry driver build up the imaginary character of the asshole gun nut unseen in the car ahead. This, not surprisingly, caused more honking.
A few suggestions for future researchers who really want to provoke some honking, or perhaps actual violence.
Another study showed that drivers in Palo Alto, one of the wealthiest communities in the world, were more likely to honk at a "low status" car than a "high status" one, possibly allowing them to imagine they were honking at a welfare queen with a sense of entitlement, or perhaps someone who belonged to a -- heavens! -- labor union.
Waiting in line -- which is basically a traffic jam without the cars -- triggers a lot of the same impulses. It's understandable. In both cases, a certain number of people are ahead of you, and they need to do their thing before you can do yours. Since their needs are being prioritized ahead of you, it's natural to ask the question of whether they REALLY need to be there, and make up some reasons why they probably don't, giving you an easy target to blame for the long line.
Jokes About Other People's Favorite Things Are All in Fun, Jokes About Our Favorite Things Really Mean Something
We tend to imagine a divide between people who "can take a joke" and people who are "take everything too seriously," which isn't too inaccurate as a general personality trait, but doesn't give a complete picture.
Some of the very same people that are always telling others to "lighten up" and stop being so "butthurt" when they're targeted for jokes will suddenly begin complaining about their own butt pain when their own group is targeted.
"You take BACK what you said about Pokemon players!"
A person who makes jokes about Asian drivers or black people liking fried chicken will roll their eyes and say "It's just a joke" when anyone object;, saying everybody should know they're not a racist and they don't really mean all of these things. Then they find out about the Stuff White People Like blog and they pitch a fit, going on and on about how #79 doesn't apply to them and only applies to a very small group of white people, suddenly turning very serious indeed as they explain point by point why these descriptions don't accurately apply to white people as a group.
"No, see, not all white people listen to NPR, so this joke doesn't work at all."
Because when you make a joke about some other group, it's obviously meant as a joke, and anyone pointing out any factual inaccuracies it's based on (Canadians don't really say "aboot", some types of Chinese food are quite filling) is "nitpicking" and shows the person "doesn't understand it's a joke." But when someone makes a joke about your group based on broad generalizations and inaccuracies, of course you "totally get it's supposed to be a joke," but the joke "just isn't funny" because of those wrong assumptions.
It's not just heavy issues like race either. Plenty of people are willing to tear into Twilight and laugh when the stupid "twi-tards" rage back at them, demonstrating their lack of humor. But then you mock the Twilight-mocker's favorite hobby or Internet hangout, even lightly, and they feel like they at least need to "correct" your "misconceptions."
"I've picked out a couple of episodes containing heterosexual Riker sex scenes that I think will conclusively prove he's not, as you put it, 'the gayest character on the show.' "
Or even worse, they could be in a group of people that considers humor solely as a weapon to attack things. The only reason you would make jokes, according to this group, is to attack something and say it is bad, like Jon Stewart making jokes about Fox News, or Yahtzee reviewing video games. And derision is certainly one great genre of humor.
But people make fun of things they like all the time. Sometimes it's an affectionate gesture toward something they really like. Hell, often comedians even make fun of themselves. But people who have trouble doing that have trouble understanding the concept in other people, and see any joke about anything as a sign that the joke-teller is hostile toward that thing.
Clearly, David Wong really hated Lord of the Rings. At least that's what an entire forum full of complaints used to claim.
I'm not here to draw a line on which jokes are okay and which are offensive, just suggesting that wherever we do draw the line, maybe we put it in a different place when the joke's about someone else than when it's about us and our favorite things. Maybe consistency for you means being less racist, or maybe it means being more evenly racist to everybody. I'm not going to judge.

The president-elect of the Buckhannon-Upshur Chamber of Commerce praised those who work to make the community a better place, and several of those businesses and individuals were honored at Friday's annual dinner at West Virginia Wesleyan College.
"Our community would not be as special as it is without the people who volunteer their time," Sam Nolte said. "We in Upshur County are blessed to have a city council more than willing to work with the county commission, and a county commission that is more than willing to work with the city council. We are way ahead of the curve when it comes to that."
Carol Long was honored as the Citizen of Year for her more than 40 years of dedicated volunteer service to several organizations across Upshur County.

The Buckhannon-Upshur Chamber of Commerce honored businesses and individuals for their contributions to the community during Friday's annual dinner at West Virginia Wesleyan College. From left are C.J. Rylands, the 2012 Business Man of the Year; Yvonne Stewart, the owner of Main Street Antiques and Collectibles that was named the 2012 Small Business of the Year; Sue Johnson-Phillippe, the president and chief executive officer of St. Joseph's Hospital which was named the 2012 Industry of the Year; and Carol Long, who was named the 2012 Citizen of the Year for her many hours of volunteer service to several community organizations. Not pictured is Linda Wellings, the 2012 Businesswoman of the Year.
Long helped to start the Upshur County Christmas Store and has served with the West Virginia Strawberry Festival in a variety of roles for many years.
Long has also served as the chair of the American Red Cross Disaster Council, and she has helped raise more than $60,000 for the American Heart Association.
She has also been active with the Chapel Hill United Methodist Church, several school booster organizations, the Upshur County Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Tennerton Council.
"I love my community, whether it be Buckhannon, Tennerton or Upshur County as a whole," Long said. "If you love your community and want it to flourish, it's your duty. I do it because I love my community."
The Industry of the Year honor went to St. Joseph's Hospital, which had previously been honored in 1988. The hospital welcomed seven new physicians this year, even expanding the medical services offered at the facility. St. Joseph's Hospital, which employs more than 450 people, has served Buckhannon and its neighboring towns for more than 90 years.
Sue Johnson-Phillippe, the president and chief executive officer for the hospital, told the gathering of a recent letter sent to her by a man who had graduated from Wesleyan 65 years ago and was blessed by the care of the hospital. The letter told of the man's mother needing a costly surgery, one which would have forced him to drop out of college had the hospital not covered the medical cost itself. Some recent events had prompted the man to reflect back on his life.
"His St. Joe's experience was pivotal in his life," Johnson-Phillippe said. "He sent us a check for $1,000. That epitomizes that St. Joe's has been here for everybody."
The Small Business of the Year was Main Street Antiques and Collectibles, which has been part of the Buckhannon community since 1972. It recently to its current location in 2012, and it is owned by Doug and Yvonne Stewart and their son Brian.
"We are happy being on Main Street with lots of things going on downtown," Yvonne Stewart said.
Linda Wellings, who was unable to attend the dinner because of a family emergency, was named the 2012 Business Woman of the Year. Wellings has twice been honored as a Distinguished West Virginian, and she has been named the West Virginia Small Business Person of the Year and the West Virginia Workforce's Outstanding Partner.
The 2012 Business Man of the Year, C.J. Rylands, thanked those who have worked toward the betterment of the community. He said working with those people has been "very fulfilling.
"It's amazing what you can get done when everyone is working together for the best of the community."

The Buffalo Bills' defense lives.
The Bills' much-maligned, underachieving defenders dominated the Miami Dolphins Thursday night, leading Buffalo to a 19-14 victory.
A crowd of 69,118 at Ralph Wilson Stadium watched the Bills snap a three-game losing streak and improve to 4-6.
The Bills put the clamps on Miami in all areas.
Dolphins running back Reggie Bush, who scorched the Bills for 203 yards last December, was held to just 20 yards on 10 carries.
Dolphins rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed only half his passes 14 of 28 for just 141 yards, and he was sacked three times.
And the Bills came up with interceptions from Jairus Byrd and Bryan Scott, both in the final two minutes, to secure the victory.
"It feels good to put four quarters together," said Bills safety George Wilson. "We talked about it at halftime. Anybody can do it for 30 minutes. We had to go out and take this victory."
"That's how it's supposed to be week in and week out," said defensive end Mario Williams. "As long as we go out and play fundamental football, gap sound football, that'll be the result.
"It was gap football. Playing our assignments and being where we're supposed to be."
The Bills held Miami to just 184 yards, the lowest by a Bills opponent in more than a year, since the seventh game of last season.
Bush managed zero yards on his first seven carries.
"We knew he was the key to their offense," Wilson said. "If we allowed him to have success on first down running the ball, then that was gonna give them more opportunities in their play-action game and in their boots and nakeds, getting Tannehill on the perimeter. He's very accurate throwing on the move. By nullifying their run game, we made them one-dimensional for the most part."
The Dolphins dropped to 4-6.
The Bills got 91 rushing yards from C.J. Spiller on 22 carries. Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick hit 17 of 27 passes for 168 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions.
The Bills' only visit to the end zone came on a 79-yard punt return by Leodis McKelvin. Rian Lindell kicked four field goals for the Bills.
While the Bills never trailed, the victory was not without its anxiety. Miami pulled within five points with 8:42 left when Tannehill capped an 81-yard drive with a 2-yard TD strike to Davone Bess.
The Dolphins got the ball back on their 1-yard line with 4:42 left. Tannehill moved them out to their own 32. But then Byrd made the interception of the season for the Bills. He sprinted 25 yards from his center field position to make a diving pickoff near the Miami sideline at the Buffalo 35 with 2 minutes left.
"The quarterback looked to the right side," Wilson said. "There were two receivers over there. The inside guy went short, the outside guy went deep. The quarterback looked to that side the entire time. Byrd was being Byrd. He's great at reading the quarterback. He's great at getting a jump on the ball. He just showed his awesome ball skills, being able to lay out, secure the catch and stay in bounds. That was a big-time play."
"That was crazy," Williams said. "That's a baller right there. He laid out for that thing, and to bring it in with his finger tips and to go through the catch after hitting the ground, that was a heckuva play."
Miami stopped the Bills on the ensuing possession and had one more chance, getting the ball at its own 16 with 1:24 left. But Scott picked off a Tannehill pass over the middle with 41 seconds left.
Buffalo's defense entered the game last in the league in points allowed, yielding 32 a game. Buffalo was last in the league in run defense, too, allowing 163.7 a game.
"We played our base front," said defensive tackle Kyle Williams. "I think it's just starting to click, playing fast, playing downhill."
McKelvin's return gave the Bills a 7-0 lead in the nationally televised game. McKelvin, who leads the NFL in punt return average, burst up the left side of the field and went untouched to the end zone. He got key blocks from Byrd, Ruvell Martin and Corey McIntyre on his way to the end zone. It was the fourth return touchdown of McKelvin's career.
The Bills stretched their edge to 10-0 thanks to a Miami turnover. Dolphins receiver Brian Hartline was stripped of the ball by Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore after a short completion over the middle. Byrd recovered for the Bills at the Buffalo 48.
That led to a 38-yard drive to a field goal, which Lindell converted from 32 yards with 5:07 left in the quarter.
But the Bills' comfortable advantage was short-lived. On the ensuing kickoff, Miami's Marcus Thigpen showed off his speed by bursting through a big hole up the right side of the field and sprinting 96 yards to the end zone. It appeared the Bills' coverage unit made a crease for Miami. Bills linebacker Nigel Bradham veered to his left to give Thigpen enough room to cut up the seam of the field. The TD pulled Miami within 10-7 with 5:07 left in the quarter.
The Bills added a field goal late in the first quarter, driving 60 yards in eight plays to a 34-yard kick by Lindell with 40 seconds left.
The big gain on the march was a well-developed, 24-yard screen pass to Spiller to the left. Receiver Ruvell Martin lined up in a fullback position in the backfield and made a block to help spring Spiller. A 22-yard pass from Fitzpatrick to Scott Chandler moved the Bills down to Miami's 25.
Buffalo added another field goal early in the second quarter. This one came at the end of a 64-yard drive that covered eight plays and 3:57.
The Bills benefitted from two pass interference penalties on the Dolphins. The first one came on a deep pass attempt for T.J. Graham down the sideline and gave the Bills 31 yards to their own 48. The second came on a shorter pass for Donald Jones and gave the Bills 15 yards to the Miami 24.
Miami relied on mostly short, conservative passes early in the game with rookie quarterback Tannehill at the helm. Tannehill completed 5 of his first 10 passes for 41 yards.
The Bills controlled the time of possession, holding the ball for 35:03 to just 24:57 for Miami.

Nitric oxide's beneficial biological effects are well known and form the foundation of drugs used to treat heart disease and erectile dysfunction. A chemical relative, nitroxyl, is emerging as a promising new option for cardiovascular disorders, according to researchers at Cardioxyl Pharmaceuticals. The company is designing drugs based on nitroxyl chemistry and is building a pipeline of intravenous and oral treatments.
For 100 years, researchers have generated nitroxyl from Angeli's salt, a prodrug of nitroxyl named after the Italian chemist Angelo Angeli, without appreciating its physiological effects. Once generated, however, nitroxyl rapidly decomposes and is highly unstable. Moreover, a side product of Angeli's salt is nitrite, which is known to have toxic side effects.
The medicinal chemists at Cardioxyl are identifying different scaffolds and nitroxyl donors with benign chemical groups and better stability and solubility features than Angeli's salt. The company's lead compound, CXL-1020, is a nontoxic, small molecule nitroxyl donor therapeutic drug. CXL-1020 "is not simply a modification of Angeli's salt but a new chemical entity that generates nitroxyl through a completely different mechanism," says Chris Kroeger, M.D., president and CEO.
David Kass, M.D., a cardiologist at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, co-founded Cardioxyl in 2006 after he and colleagues observed that nitroxyl enhances cardiac contractility, accelerates cardiac relaxation, and reduces vascular stiffness in canine models of heart failure. Impairment of these functions underlies the pathophysiology of heart disease. Cardioxyl's lead compound addresses these disorders.
CXL-1020 produces a set of positive effects, according to Dr. Kroeger, including improving the heart's ability to contract and its ability to relax and refill, while also acting on the peripheral vasculature to cause dilation and reduce loads on the heart. Unlike other heart drugs, CXL-1020, reportedly does not negatively impact the heart rate or rhythm. "This broad and ideal suite of effects that we can target and control has not been demonstrated for any other drug," says Dr. Kroeger.
Last year, Cardioxyl began enrolling patients with chronic stable heart failure in a multicenter Phase I/IIa dose-escalation trial of CXL-1020. The experimental drug is ultimately aimed at patients with acute decompensated heart failure, the most common cause of hospitalization for patients older than 65 years of age. The safety and tolerability of CXL-1020 are first being assessed in people with chronic stable heart failure.
Many stable patients eventually become decompensated due to arrhythmias, heart attacks, or failure of drug or dietary regimens. In cases of acute decompensation, patients are pushed out of their baseline equilibrium into a state where their hearts cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs, leading to excess fluid accumulation, lung edema, and shortness of breath. "When patients fall into a state of acute decompensation, they often end up hospitalized," Dr. Kroeger says. Cardioxyl plans to treat hospitalized decompensated patients with intravenous infusions of CXL-1020 to bring their heart and vascular function back into equilibrium.
Physicians have few treatment options for acute decompensated heart failure. Current heart drugs tend to address just one aspect of heart failure. Some vasodilators have side effects of renal toxicity and most do not act directly on the heart.
Inotropes, another class of drugs, are more effective in the clinic than diuretics and vasodilators because they stimulate the heart to contract. However, inotropes can cause calcium overload, resulting in ventricular arrhythmias and sometimes death. CXL-1020 works differently than current drugs by producing a spectrum of encompassing positive effects, while avoiding calcium overload and side effects like arrhythmias, Dr. Kroeger explains.

The Accelerated College Experience (ACE) program is designed to expand access to academically challenging college curricula for qualified high school students through a combination of Concurrent Enrollment Partnership (CEP) courses, the Senior Academy (SA), and selected online courses. High school juniors and seniors with at least a 3.0 GPA can earn up to six hours of college credit each semester at half the regular tuition rate through the ACE program. Students must have the approval of their high school principal or counselor (and their parent or legal guardian if under 18) to enroll in these courses.
These courses are taught at the participating high schools during the regular school day and have the same requirements as the courses taught on the Washburn University campus. The courses vary by high school. A CEP program orientation and registration session is held at each high school in both the fall and spring. Students should contact the program liaison at their high school for specific times, dates, and course information.
The Senior Academy is another opportunity for high school seniors to earn an additional nine hours of academic credit on the Washburn University campus. The courses meet from 8:00 to 11:00 am on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Students must have completed at least six hours of CEP or other ACE courses with at least a 3.00 GPA to be eligible for the Senior Academy. They must also submit a brief application that includes a letter of recommendation from their high school principal or counselor, and if under 18, must have the approval of the parent or legal guardian to participate in the Academy.
Note: High school students who want to enroll in a course on the Washburn University campus should visit the Non-Degree and High School Students page.

"Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall." -William Shakespeare
If you hold the primary race for South Carolina's first congressional district up to your ear, I think you can hear God.
Well, at least you can hear a lot of talk about God. First, there was former governor Mark Sanford's television ad in which he mentioned having made mistakes and learning about forgiveness and the God of second chances.
Then former Charleston County Council Member Curtis Bostic made a surprise second place finish in last week's primary. Celebrating making it into a runoff with Sanford, Bostic said: ""I attribute our success to the grace of God. I believe that the implement that he used was common-sense conservative Americans that were looking for a new direction." Maybe the sequester is far-reaching after all, but now when God "hath loosed the faithful lightning of His terrible swift sword," He can only muster up 13 percent of Republicans and a second place finish?
South Carolina voters generally like to have people in public office who believe in and, quite possibly, feel accountable to God. Both Republican candidates have been open about their personal faith.
However, both candidates need to resist the temptation to rush to the pulpit and out God-speak the other.
In the rush of a short primary and subsequent short runoff, they mustn't lose sight of the fact that they are in the first congressional race that will set the stage for a nationwide battle for control of the United States House of Representatives. That battle has the complete attention of the president of the United States, when he's not golfing, and that of the Democrat's national machine.
As the stage is set for the 2014 nationwide battle for control of the U.S. House, Republicans are just one Aikin-like gaffe away from giving the Democrats the fodder they are looking for on a national scale.
Todd Aikin, for those who have forgotten, was the Republican senate candidate in Missouri who blew certain victory over a struggling incumbent Democrat by making his "legitimate rape" comment.
The Democratic election machine used that statement to negatively brand all Republicans in all races.
If Sanford wins, the national Democratic Party machine will be handed ready-made fodder. Bostic already used it in a statement the day after the primary.
First congressional district voters now must weigh the possibility of giving Democrats another national branding opportunity if Sanford wins this runoff. Bostic, on the other hand, would do well to limit references to God to his personal walk of faith and resist self-anointing statements similar to the words to the "Battle Hymn of the Republic."
The way to win this primary and the general election is to stick to the message of taking a sword to the runaway spending and debt that threaten to make insolvent our one nation under God.
And God help the candidate who strays from that message.

JAMESTOWN – A Jamestown husband and wife are facing criminal charges for marijuana possession and unlawfully growing the plants following a Nov. 30 search by Chautauqua County sheriff's officials and other police agencies, the Southern Tier Regional Drug Task Force reported Friday.
Kenneth G. Moore Jr., 36, and Sherry M. Moore, 34, both of Kimball Drive, were issued tickets to appear in Gerry Town Court after authorities uncovered 26 harvested marijuana plants and a quantity of packaged marijuana during a consented search as part of an investigation by the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's officials were assisted by the task force and the Jamestown Police K-9 unit.
Both were released pending future appearances in court.

Probable Cause, Probability, and Hindsight

Vanderbilt University - Law School

Vanderbilt Public Law Research Paper No. 11-25
Vanderbilt Law and Economics Research Paper No. 11-38
When judges assess probable cause, they must do so either in foresight (when determining whether to issue a warrant) or in hindsight (when determining whether to allow the admission of evidence obtained without a search warrant). Although the legal standard for probable cause is the same, and the facts that might support cause are the same, judges who assess probable cause in hindsight invariably know whether a search produced incriminating evidence or not. Research on the hindsight bias suggests that judges will be unable to set aside this knowledge and judge probable cause as if they were working in foresight. In this paper, we present of three experiments in which we asked 900 state and federal judges to make judgments of probable cause either in foresight or in hindsight, in hypothetical cases. Surprisingly, we found that that judges make similar rulings on probable cause in foresight and in hindsight. We also found that hindsight appears to cloud judges' abilities to assess the likely outcome of the search, but hindsight does not influence their legal judgments.

Incline head wrestling coach Tony Spiker and assistant coach Jordan Cronin hit the road with six eager Highlanders to compete at Pershing County this past Saturday.
For a few of the Incline wrestlers, it was the first time to step on a mat and compete.
Monday through Friday for two hours in the evening, these wrestlers have been getting ready for this first tournament. They did not disappoint.
Michael Wegener, a senior, took second place at 132 pounds. He wrestled at a weight class above where he will finish the season.
"He wrestled well but will improve greatly throughout the season," Spiker said. "It was a great first showing."
Incline freshman Michael Guymon wrestled "outstanding" in his first high school tournament at 170 pounds, which also is one weight class above where he will finish the season, Spiker said.
His first match was against Jared Jensen, a three-time state champion from Pershing County.
"While Michael lost, he showed his team signs of greatness," Spiker said. "A freshman wrestling in the upper weight class against older, mature wrestlers, to take third place is an accomplishment."
The coach added that the rest of the team, all freshmen, showed a lot of heart.
"I'm very encouraging for the rest of the season to come," Spiker said.
Wrestling has a long and successful tradition at Incline High, and the Highlanders are asking for the community's help to make the season a success.
The district does not fund tournaments or motel rooms and the team must travel as far away as Elko in order to compete. The team will be holding fundraisers throughout the year, and is asking for the community's support so that the program can continue.
"As a former Incline wrestler, I know the wrestling program is valuable to all our wrestlers now and in the future," said Jordan Cronin. "It is important that it continues."
Anyone interested in making a donation, contact Linda Cronin at 775-831-5772.
The Highlanders will travel to Winnemucca this weekend for a tournament.

Alternative Measure Sees More People Living in Poverty
There were 46.2 million people living in poverty in America last year. Unless there were 49.7 million.
Earlier this fall, the Census Bureau released its annual look at poverty in the U.S. According to that report, there were 46.2 million people in 2011 living below the poverty line of about $23,000 for a family of four. The official poverty rate was 15.0%.
But on Wednesday, the Census put out another report showing that the official figures leave out some 3.5 million people whom many experts argue should properly be counted as "poor." If those people were included, the poverty rate would be 16.1%.
The difference comes down to definitions. The government's official definition of poverty dates back to the 1960s, when economist Mollie Orshansky drew the poverty line at three times the cost of a minimal diet. That figure, updated for inflation, has remained more or less unchanged ever since.
Economists have argued for years that the official definition of poverty manages to be both too broad and too narrow. Because it looks only at pretax income, the official rate ignores all sorts of government programs — including food stamps, Social Security, subsidized housing and various tax credits — that help keep families out of poverty. But it also fails to account for taxes, transportation costs, child and health-care bills and other expenses that eat into disposable income. And because the poverty line is the same across the country, it fails to account for huge regional differences in the cost of living, especially when it comes to housing.
The alternative, or "supplemental," poverty measure released Wednesday attempts to account for those criticisms. The supplemental measure, which the Census Bureau released for the first time last year, doesn't look that different from the official rate on a national level, and neither definition shows much change in 2011 from 2010. But for certain groups, the different definitions make a much bigger difference.
Under the official definition, for example, there are 16.5 million children under 18 living in poverty, for a poverty rate of 22.3%. But because many government antipoverty programs target children, the alternative definition yields a lower rate of 18.1%, a difference of more than 3 million people.
Among seniors, however, the updated definition has the opposite effect, yielding a poverty rate of 15.1%, far higher than the official rate of 8.7%. What accounts for the difference? Out-of-pocket medical expenses, which aren't accounted for in the official rate but push nearly 3 million seniors into poverty.
Wednesday's report for the first time provides a state-by-state look at the new poverty measure. There too the effect of the new approach varies. Mississippi's worst-in-the-nation 21.1% poverty rate would be just 15.8% — still high, but better than several other states including New York and Texas. (The state-level data are based on three-year averages.) Nevada's poverty rate, however, would rise to 19.4% from an official rate of 15.1%.
Poverty numbers can be a politically fraught topic, with conservatives arguing that most definitions are overbroad, including people who aren't poor once government benefits are taken into account, and liberals arguing they are too narrow, underestimate living expenses, especially for families with children.
But Columbia University Professor Jane Waldfogel says the strength of the new Census approach is its transparency. The report lays out how various programs and assumptions effect its calculations — and what the poverty rate would look like if they were left out.
"You can see exactly what the effect of the different antipoverty programs is," Ms. Waldfogel says. "We just need to be clear what we're measuring when we're measuring poverty."

The ones I've handled were as hard as a rock. Never saw a holster that tough, unlined, would've taken awhile to break in. Maybe they are better now.

I like them. I have several. One is a yaqi style I use for several of my small autos. Another is an easy on-easy off belt slide holster for my glocks. It is technically for my 26, but works just fine for my 19 and 17 since it only covers the trigger area, and is open bottom. The last one, that I keep in the truck with my 26, is a simple clip IWB holster. They are not custom molded kydex like my Raven Concealment holsters, nor works of finely crafted exotic leathers, but they are cheap, available almost everywhere, and quite functional.
February 2, 2013, 10:03 PM
I have two of them, both for a PF9, and both left-handed. One is a belt-slide OWB holster with no retention feature. It's my EDC holster, on me pretty much any time I'm up and not at work (including right now as I type this.)
The other is an IWB rig with a steel belt clip and a "sweat shield" strip. Like the other, there is no retention feature, such as a strap or thumb-break. I don't wear it IWB; I wear it between the belt and pants, as I find true IWB-carry uncomfortable.
Both work well, but they are indeed stiff and that causes them to be creaky. I've been wearing the OWB one for about a year now, and it still isn't "broken in" that I can tell. Even though both are made for the PF9, the IWB one seats the gun lower in the rig, making it a little harder to get good purchase on the gun for draw. My Bersa Thunder 380 actually fits in that one better.

People talk about Stuart's days when he used to fight?
He's been in about one per season, and usually they're not even really traditional fights where guys square off. It's usually more like scrums where finally someone throws the gloves off.
I completely agree. I'll see if I can find where I read it last, it was only a few days ago.
Update: Check the last page of the "Smith Watch Thread". That was the most recent reference, but I've seen it here many times before.

Stephanie DeFeo Promoted To Softball Associate Head Coach
MUNCIE, Ind. - - Stephanie DeFeo, who has spent the last six season as the assistant coach for the Ball State University softball team, has been promoted to associate head coach for the Cardinals, according to Ball State head coach Craig Nicholson.
"Stephanie has played a large role in helping Ball State softball establish itself as a perennial MAC title contender," said Nicholson. "She has a great grasp on the game, and is an excellent teacher of the sport. She has worked tirelessly to help turn this program into a championship-caliber program."
Over her six seasons with the program, DeFeo has helped lead Ball State to a 204-145 (.585) record, including an 82-44 (.651) MAC mark. BSU has reached the 30-win plateau four times during that span, including the program's first two 40-win seasons, after reaching 30 wins only five times in the previous 32 years.
With her assistance, the program won its first-ever Mid-American Conference regular season championship in 2009 with the best league record in program history (18-3) and repeated the feat in 2010. The 2010 squad, which set program records for wins in a season (43) and winning percentage in a season (.729), also captured just the second MAC Tournament title in program history to advance to the NCAA Tournament. This past season, the Cardinals claimed their third MAC regular season title in four years with a 40-15 (17-3 MAC) record.
A former collegiate slugger herself, DeFeo has helped the Ball State offense develop into one of the fiercest in the nation. The 2011 squad finished the season with a school-record .320 batting average to rank 20th in the nation among the 298 NCAA Division I programs. In all, the Cardinals' hitters have broken school records in 20 of the 24 offensive categories in the program's record book during DeFeo's time on staff.
The Cardinals turned in the most impressive offensive campaign yet in 2012, ranking 10th nationally with a .318 batting average. BSU also finished the year as the only NCAA Division I program to rank in the top 15 nationally in doubles (second / 1.82), triples (11th / 0.29) and home runs (11th / 1.27) per game, while ranking sixth nationally in scoring (6.69) and seventh in slugging percentage (0.543). Ball State's sluggers also set the BSU and MAC single-season record with 70 home runs in 2012, including a BSU single-season best 18 from Jennifer Gilbert.
Ball State's fielding has also improved dramatically during DeFeo's time on staff, as the team has posted the top five fielding marks in program history, including a school-record .974 fielding percentage in 2010. In 58 games last season, the Cardinals committed just 44 errors and posted a .972 fielding percentage which ranks second on BSU's team charts. This past season, Ball State ranked first in the nation with 33 double plays turned.
Thanks in part to her guidance three BSU players have claimed MAC Player of the Year accolades in Gilbert (2012), Jessie Ware (2010) and Alicia Barkley (2009). A program-record four student-athletes were named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Division I All-Great Lakes Region teams in 2012, with Gilbert and Alison Mercado earning first team honors, while Amanda Montalto and Audrey Bickel were named to the second team. Ware also went on to earn recognition on the All-Great Lakes Region Second Team in 2010, while Barkley was named to the 2009 All-Mideast Region First Team.
Over the last four seasons (2009-12), the Cardinals have placed more players on the All-MAC First Team than any other school in the league. BSU has 13 honorees during that span, with Northern Illinois ranking second at seven. Overall, DeFeo has helped her student-athlete be honored on All-MAC team's 31 times, including 13 first team, 11 second team and seven all-freshman selections.A three-time academic all-American herself, DeFeo's dedication to her studies has rubbed off on BSU's players with both Barkley (2011) and Elizabeth Milian (2010) being named to the Capital One Academic All-America University Division Softball Third Team as voted on by the College Sports Information Directors of America. She has helped BSU's players earn a total of five CoSIDA Academic All-District V honors.

Babywearing Tip Of The Week: N.I.P.
Most often known as Nursing In Public but now new meaning to me... Nursing In Pouch.

I entered, but since I'm first, I won't be winning, lol. Number 1 is never number 1.ReplyDelete
OH I can enter -- SINCE I'm PREGNANT!!!!!ReplyDelete
I have a pouch sling but haven't figured out the NIP thing yet - please share the details - it would be awesome for feeding baby while playing with the todller at the park.ReplyDelete
Hey Steph!ReplyDelete
I love the pattern!!
I too have a peanut shell pouch. could you enlighten us as to:
1: the carry you use w/ gray (I cannot seem to get a good carry w/ it!!!) and
2: how to NIP with it! I haven't NIPublic-ed successfully w/ any carrier yet and would LOVE to be able to do so.
gray looks so cozy in that photo!!!
awe love pouch slings, their so easy to use.ReplyDelete
And is that you at M of S&I??? YOU ROCK!ReplyDelete
wow, I am also amazed that you can nurse while wearing him. I'm sure it's not a big deal to you (or to him!) but how do you keep yourself so concealed during all of that?ReplyDelete
What a cute picture of you and Gray.ReplyDelete
From your meme: if you are really looking for some good TV, I like to figure things out, so I watch all the CSI's and NCIS, Myth Busters, Survivorman, Clean Sweep, Monk, House, and Psych. Shalom in the Home is good when you can find it on, also Super Nanny. I love Dog Whisperer, even though we still can't keep our dog off of visitors.
May I just say BRAVO to you for continuing to nurse! I felt as soon as Sophia turned one I was pressured to wean, but we kept on until she weaned herself at two (I don't think I was ready though ;). So I adore & admire a mom who goes with she knows & feels is right for her & her child...not society.ReplyDelete
And I LOVE the design on that sling! GORGEOUS!!
Great giveaway and that picture is so cute!ReplyDelete
THat's a beautiful sling!ReplyDelete
And nurse on, sister. Nurse on.
I wish Jasper was a more discreet nurser like his sister was...he flails wildly and slurps loudly and hates being covered up. I hope we make it as long as Roo ( 26 months) but I don't know.ReplyDelete
I love breastfeeding Suzi in her ModMum sling, but she is 7 months old and still lies down in it. She *can* sit up in the hip position but refuses as she prefers to have her legs in. How old is your son? I want to breastfeed for at least a year but am already feeling some pressure to wean (mostly from my mom).ReplyDelete
So sweet!!!!ReplyDelete
love the NIP! Oh and the b & w pattern is FAB!ReplyDelete

The resort of Gersau in the canton of Schwyz is a self-contained area in a hollow on the sunny, sheltered southern slopes of the Rigi. Until the 19th century, Gersau could only be reached by water or over the Gätterli Pass from Lauerz. From the 15th century until 1817, the secluded Gersau was a separate republic, measuring just 24 square kilometres, until the village – against its will at the time – was incorporated into the canton of Schwyz. The museum of local history tells of the long history of its independence.
From the shores of the lake, Gersau stretches along the slopes of the Rigi up to the viewing terrace of Rigi-Scheidegg (1656 m). In 1840 a large sanatorium with 300 beds was built here. On the themed walk called "On the tracks of culture", walkers can learn about the interesting history of the Scheidegg. Today, two cable-cars lead to the area: on the Gersau side, one goes from Gschwänd to Rigi-Burggeist, about 100 metres below the Scheidegg. The second cable-car goes from the Kräbel stop on the Arth-Rigi railway line up to the Rigi-Scheidegg plateau.
The most well-known way of reaching the Scheidegg is from Rigi-Kaltbad (a stop on the Vitznau-Rigi line), taking the easy footpath along the former railway line from Rigi-Kaltbad to the Scheidegg. Nowadays this route is a panoramic walk with splendid views and popular places for picnics or making a barbecue.
In summer, Gersau is part of the extensive network of footpaths on the Rigi, the "Queen of Mountains". Being located right by the water, Gersau has two open-air pools. A wide range of accommodation and restaurants, an adventure nature trail, tennis courts, minigolf, outdoor climbing wall, biking routes, pedalos for hire etc. complete the list of amenities that Gersau has to offer. It is worth taking a trip on a stately Lake Lucerne steamer to reach the finest tourist attractions around the lake.
In winter the small area around Rigi-Scheidegg is great for skiing, sledging, winter walks, cross-country skiing or long snow-shoe walks. Larger nearby winter sports centres in the canton of Schwyz include Mythen, Stoos-Fronalpstock, Sattel-Hochstuckli and Hoch-Ybrig.
- Rigi – the "Queen of Mountains" in the heart of Central Switzerland, surrounded by Lake Lucerne, Lake Zug and Lake Lauerz. The sunrises on the Rigi-Kulm are legendary.
- Panorama Way – this gentle walk from Rigi-Kaltbad to the Rigi-Scheidegg has fantastic views and numerous places for picnics.
- Lake Lucerne – historic steamers and launches invite you to discover the landscape from the water.
- Schwyz – home of the Schwyz Federal Archive and a magnificent village square with parish church, town hall and historic merchant's houses.
- Crossbow workshop in the style of the 14th century – more about the background to Tell's single arrow shot through the apple, and the opportunity to became an archer yourself.
Top Events
- GersauART – open-air art exhibition with a different programme every year and artists from all over Switzerland (May to October).
- Gersau in Autumn – Gersau cultural festival with a particularly diverse programme, national and international, classic to rock (November).
- "Chlausätriichlä" – bell-ringers old and young carry their bells through the village in honour of St. Niklaus (December).
- New Year's Eve Run – the only New Year Run which actually takes place on 31 December, a good opportunity to finish the old year in a sporty way (December).
