The Niederhorn is considered to afford one of the finest viewing points in the Bernese Oberland. In perfect harmony, the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau dominate the magnificent mountain chain on the horizon, while down below Lake Thun shimmers in intense shades of blue. Facing this dream panorama, this winter high-altitude trail leads to Waldegg. Get to Beatenberg by post bus directly from Interlaken or by bus from Thun to Beatenbucht and from there take the funicular up to the elevated terrace; continue from Beatenberg by cable railway up the Niederhorn. The hike includes horizontal sections and also some slightly steeper downward passages. It is very enjoyable to toboggan down these sections (toboggans may be hired at the cable railway mountain station). The route runs through wooded areas and also across snowy meadows with lovely views. From Waldegg return by post bus to Interlaken or Beatenberg.

Andrew Purcell parred the third hole of a sudden death playoff Friday to win the 2013 Roy Meyers Junior Open.
"I hit the ball pretty good today," Purcell said. "I didn't putt that well, but because I was hitting good everything worked out."
Purcell, a rising junior for the Green Wave golf team, and Pine Forest golfer Spencer Warner both finished their round at Summerville Country Club with a score of 79 to tie for first place in the age 16-18 (championship) division for the 10th annual junior tournament held in memory of Dr. Roy Meyers.
The playoff began on Hole 6 and neither golfer had a good start. Purcell landed his tee shot under the trees to the right of the hole and Warner landed his to the left in a rough on a hill just in front of the hole's sand hazard. However, both hit a nice chip shot onto the green and birdied the hole.
Both found the hole on the next green in four shots so the playoff continued. Purcell then caught a break as he landed his tee shot for Hole 8 on the edge of the green while Warner's shot sailed right, landing in the rough between the green and the hole's water hazard.
In two shots, Warner placed his ball within four feet of the hole. But Purcell needed only one shot to get even closer and then sank a two-foot putt to win the tournament.
Purcell has been a member of the Green Wave varsity golf team since his eighth-grade year. Two of his high school teammates played in his group Friday and if they would have performed just a little better they could have participated in the playoff round. Dylan Bunch carded an 80 to place third in the tournament and two-time Roy Meyers Junior Open Champion Christian Woods finished with a round of 81 to place fourth.
"Playing with those guys makes it fun," Purcell said. "I think I was 10 when I first starting playing in this tournament and I always enjoy it."
In the younger age divisions, Luis Thompson stole the show by carding a 2-under-par 34 to win his third consecutive Roy Meyers Junior 10U Title. Tyler Brown finished at 43 to place second and Noah Kessler finished at 47 to place third.
Price Lenoir shot a 50 to win the age 11-12 division. Joseph Evans (57) place second and Lauren Fix (58) placed third.
Max Kastenholz shot an 83 to win the age 13-15 division. Ky Matsumoto (87) placed second and Brodie Blanton (92) placed third.
About Dr. Roy Gene Meyers
Dr. Meyers was a baseball and track star in high school. He took up golf in his 40s and often played his age until he stopped playing in his late 80s.
Dr. Meyers flew combat missions in World War II, but his primary occupation and interest was behavioral optometry. His career allowed him to help improve the vision and development of countless children and adults.
In 2004, Summerville Country Club officials founded the Roy Meyers Junior Open Golf Tournament as a way to thank Dr. Meyers for his passion for golf and the support he gave junior golfers at the club.
Each year up until his death in 2011, Dr. Meyers presented the trophies and other prizes at the club's annual junior tournament. Those duties have now been passed down to members of his family.

The first thing Matshidiso Mabe, 13, got excited about was being able to sleep in her very own bed. Like many poor South African children, Matshidiso has to share a bed with relatives in her small Soweto home. But now that she's a boarding student at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls-South Africa, outside Johannesburg, she will no longer have to fight for mattress space with her mother and cousin.
"It didn't feel lonely at all!" recalls Matshidiso of the first night in her new bed, which is covered with an Oprah-approved fluffy white duvet. She is also drawing inspiration from her mentor: "I want to help all the children of South Africa," says Matshidiso, who one day hopes to open a similar school of her own. "This is in me. I want to adopt children, as Oprah has adopted us."

Profiles: Rabbi Chesky and Miri Rothman
Rabbi Chesky Rothman: Pittsburgh native and Steelers fan. Studied at Rabinical College of America, two years in Israel. Ordained in 2002. As student rabbi, traveled in Turkey, Norway, Alaska, and North and South Dakota.
Miri Rothman: Chicago native, one of family of nine. Degree in education through studies in Israel. Taught high school in New York for five years; was assistant principal for six. Specialties are organizing women's events and teaching in-depth classes.
The Rothmans have three children, ages 6, 4 and 2.
Rabbi Chesky Rothman not only wants to meet every Jew in the Rockford area, he wants to become a personal friend to each one of them.
It's his mission, he said, as leader of the Rockford Chapter of Chabad. He and his wife, co-leader Miri, founded the organization to serve northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin four years ago; it is one of 42 Chabad centers in Illinois.
Meeting every Jew means more to Rothman than a "hello" and "how are you."
"For some, it means they will join our services. For others, it could be we have lunch every couple of months. With another, we may not speak about Judaism but about whatever interests them. And for others, it could mean joining then for jogging or a round of golf," he said.
It may be idealistic but Rothman believes every Jew "deserves to have a rabbi on speed dial" to call about life cycle changes and other challenges.
"We want to ensure that every Jew in Rockford knows he or she has a friend, whether they need help with a spiritual matter or a material matter," he said. "If they call, I will pick up the phone and do what I can."
The same, he added, applies to any non-Jew who seeks him out.
The intent, he said, is "not to convert non-Jews or to convert a non-observing Jew into being observant.
"It is to reach out and befriend them and then offer opportunities if they want to engage with us."
Rothman, 32, and his wife chose Rockford for their Chabad Center because it seemed to them that Jews here are at a crossroads, much like the city as a whole.
"We were looking for a place to bring a message that every Jew is a Jew, regardless of whether they have a synagogue affiliation," he said. "Our goal is to share the love and joy of Judaism."
The Rockford area does not have a large Jewish population. It probably numbers in the hundreds. Rothman said he has had more than a casual conversation with about 150 Jews, which make up half of the people he knows to be Jewish. He is sure there are more he hasn't heard about yet.
The Chabad Center, a 501C3 nonprofit organization, does not yet have a permanent home. Rothman rents space for services and programs, like the public event planned for Sunday, Aug. 31, featuring Eva Schloss, stepsister of Anne Frank, on her only Midwest stop in a speaking tour. Schloss will speak at the U of I College of Medicine, 1601 Parkview Ave., Rockford, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Tickets are available through Chabad's website, ChabadRockford.com/events, or by calling 815-596-0032.
Page 2 of 2 - Schloss' appearance follows one earlier this year by Dan Alon, a member of the Israeli Olympic team who survived the Olympic Village attack on Jews by a terrorist group at the 1972 Games. Eleven Jews, friends and teammates of Alon, were murdered.
Such programs are meant to be inspirational, not a reliving of past horrors, Rothman said. Schloss survived in the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. Her mother later married Anne Frank's father.
"We don't want to dwell on the horrors of death camps but talk about how she survived, how she overcame and found the opportunity for a happy, beautiful and successful life," Rothman said. "She fits our mission because we want to uplift people and present a speaker from whom they can take inspiration for their own life."
Chabad regularly conducts services for the Jewish High Holidays, hosts a weekly coffee table "with the rabbi" (7 p.m. Monday at Meg's Daily Grind coffee shop at 3885 N. Perryville Road), sponsors adult education courses, works with and refers to food pantries, drug treatment centers and other community service agencies, offers adult classes, has visitation programs for seniors and children who are homebound or hospitalized, and facilitates a Jewish student group at Beloit College and is considering doing the same at Rock Valley College and Rockford University.
Rothman approaches every Jew from a non-judgmental perspective, and he hopes they will view him in a non-judgmental way, too.
Chabad, he said, follows traditional programs but presents them as relevant to life in the 21st Century.
"The Torah is not just a history book. We should look into the Torah for messages, inspirations and instructions for Jewish life today," Rothman said. "Here in Rockford we are not dealing with an exodus from Egypt, for example, but with exoduses in our life that everyone goes through."
"We want to help Jews, of course, but beyond that, help our city, our economy and our community at large."
The local Chabad center is funded by donations from Jewish and non-Jewish supporters. All of the money stays in the community. For more information on Chabad, visit ChabadRockford.com or call 815-596-0032.

A professional bully with an "angry regular guy" schtick employed by Fox News. His main virtue is that he actually thinks for himself, unlike many other prominent conservative personalities; unfortunately, that virtue is lost in the knee-jerk hatemongering, bullying behavior, and frequent and well-documented lying that he does.
I want to respect Bill O'Reilly, I really do, but what nice things can you say about a guy who tried to browbeat the son of a 9/11 survivor just because he was against the Iraq war?

A white christian male (aka an average American) who is on Fox news. He claims to be fair and balanced and that the "spin stops here" but he is obviously more conservative than not. In the past he sexually harassed women. Somones however, he can be reasonable like when he thinks that jail time shouold be stricter for child rapists. I agree with that, thats a sensible decision. However, he constantly bashes the democrats labeling them the "dangerous far left" and always cuts off people who disagree with them.
When Pat Robertson said Islam was evil, Bill O'Reilly took a stand, not because those were racist comments but because it would hurt the war on terror, he only cares about that.

Color me surprised! Not.
I know Blake and her people had been campaigning hard for her to get her Vogue cover. Once she had W I knew it was a lock. And I knew the shoot had happened but I really didn't want to believe it. Now, you know Gossip Girl is the only reason I wake up every morning, but Blake isn't Serena. Nor is she particularly stylish. She made a lot of worst dressed or just plain boring lists thanks to her Golden Globes ensemble.
She does look lovely, of course, and it is one of the better cover photos in recent memory, but I can't help but be mildly annoyed.

It's the campaign homestretch, but the Obama girls didn't let that stop them from throwing their favorite dog a birthday party.
Five of Sasha and Malia's dog-owning friends brought their pups to the White House on Monday's no-school holiday for a pre-birthday playdate with Bo, who turned 4 on Tuesday.
"Mrs. Obama and the girls sang him 'Happy Birthday,'" a White House source tells PEOPLE. "There were doggy treats and toys and running around on the South Lawn."
And the birthday celebrations didn't stop there. On Tuesday, the Obama campaign released a video in which the President and First Lady laughed about who has the best relationship with the First Dog.
"She's the boss when it comes to Bo," the President said.
But not when it comes to the couch. "He always looks at Barack before he jumps on the couch, to figure out whether, 'Is this guy gonna let me on the couch?' And you usually do," said Mrs. O.

Who?: Garrett Shea, vocals, guitar; Nick Bonaventura, guitar; Will Folckemer, bass; Cam Kukla, drums.
What?: Alt/power-pop/punk quartet just released its debut, "Take Me There," overseen by producer Anthony Casuccio of local indie label Buzz Records.
Why?: Blending the influence of Green Day and Foo Fighters, Breckenwood offers tightly constructed pop hooks and vibrant, accessible arrangements. "Take Me There" is a fat-free endeavor – Casuccio has suggested that, after producing hundreds of albums in his career, the Breckenwood collection "is one of the very few where every song could be a radio hit." Apparently, college radio agrees – Buffalo State College's WBNY voted Breckenwood Best Pop Rock Band and gave singer Shea the nod as Best Pop Rock Vocalist last year.
What's next?: Breckenwood will perform in the Feed the City benefit Dec. 8 in the Town Ballroom.

When Ashley Walker first started bariatric presurgical lifestyle classes in December 2011 at Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC, she weighed 268 pounds. During the six months of classes she dropped 20 pounds.
After she had lap band weight loss surgery, she dropped close to 50 pounds more. In total, she lost almost 70 pounds in a year.
Ashley has completely changed her eating and lifestyle habits.
"It has not been easy! Many people may think of this and other surgeries as a 'cop-out' to drop weight fast, but it is the complete opposite."
She says she has gone from a "dormant, overweight 25-year-old" to an active and "somewhat fit" woman.
Lap band surgery has helped her change how she looks at food and exercise.
"If you are still unsure of whether or not this is something you want to do, let me just say that I absolutely suggest it and stand behind the lap band surgery 100 percent. It has been one of the best decisions of my life," says Ashley.
Bariatric surgery has helped Ashley become someone she never thought she could be, she says, and she strongly feels that she is now the happiest she has ever been.
"I don't even know who that 268-pound person is anymore. I look forward to every day with anticipation."
Her friends and co-workers even notice the change in her daily attitude and life view.
Ashley says she has not reached her weight loss goal yet, but she has reached other goals she has set for herself, and takes pride in the little things she can do now. For example, she can now comfortably cross her legs when sitting down.
Ashley's advice to potential bariatric surgery patients:

But if I'm not mistaken the Rep. tried to pass bills to keep open gov. but Reid and the Senate refused to even look at the proposals.....and surprised he like the president gets a free pass takes No responsibility for the gov. closure thanks to a media, thats got it's head so far up Obamas tush it can see out his lying mouth. Ya and for the left socialism and the Government taking over is acceptable....ya they are so good at running things... 640 million on the fist step of Obamacare and it has to be redone... imagine them running our healthcare. This would be laughable if it wasn;t so serious. Can't wait to see the cluster F that happens when they actually get into the running and fee parts. Feel sorry for the young people who will be paying a rough life due to the ignorance of the present for they will be paying the bills and don't even have a clue as to what they are going to be facing. So lets see how many constituents get hurt with this BS thats going on now with a Government that wants to take over and control all of us .....and at the same time showing it's unbeleivable capasity for incompetence and poor judgement with no responsiblity what so ever...
Much like the success or failure of the Fins season, I'll be sitting here watching this charade of leadership play out, and only time will be the judge of which ones of us is the dumb azz.... I got a feeling Its just starting to become a down hill battle, for the people are being directly effected and are going to be hurting and the good thing about pain is that it can open ones eyes and the Old America wouldn't put up with it. Todays generation I have no clue....
What Obama does is fairly irrelevant to the public when the Republican party is going out of its way to devour each other in front of the camera's in their push for ideological purity. Super PAC ads are already airing. They arent particularly attacking Obama, they are instead focusing their ire on other conservatives.
Oh, and Christie is a RINO, havent you heard? He wont get the support he needs in the primary.

This year is an especially exciting one: that of the College's bicentennial and our reunion. I look forward to having an unforgettable time, May 31-June 3, 2012.
An important part of our reunion and bicentennial celebrations is our philanthropy. This year (and all years) alumni support is critical to sustaining the College and student-centered initiatives such as need-blind admission, where prospective students are accepted based solely on merit and not on their family's ability to afford the cost of tuition.
Alumni support through the Annual Fund continues to be critical for the College: along with the arts and endowment for financial aid, the Annual Fund is a key priority of Bicentennial Initiatives.
Please join me as a donor today and in so doing you will support the bright, engaging and talented students on College Hill.
Please watch for news about Reunions '12. The more of us who are there, the more fun it will be. I hope you'll be there.

Heptares Therapeutics signed an agreement with Cubist Pharmaceuticals to collaborate on the research and discovery of new medicines targeting G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).
Cubist will receive exclusive worldwide rights to research, develop, and commercialize products generated from the collaboration. The collaborative research will focus on up to two GPCR drug targets to be selected by Cubist. For the first target, Heptares will receive $5.5 million up-front and up to approximately $4 million in research funding plus milestones and royalties. Cubist also has the option to nominate a second GPCR target at a later point in the collaboration, on which Heptares has agreed to work.
"We are pleased to collaborate with Heptares, a recognized leader in the GPCR field, to pursue potential new GPCR drug candidates," Steve Gilman, Cubist evp, R&D, and CSO said, "This partnership underscores our commitment to develop a robust pipeline of novel products that address high unmet medical needs in patients with acute diseases."
Heptares' GPCR expertise is also currently being tapped by the Kinetics for Drug Discovery (K4DD) Consortium, with the aim of discovering new drugs by investigating the kinotypic properties of drug-receptor complexes. Also, in March of last year, Shire made a potentially $190 million deal with Heptares for an exclusive worldwide license to Heptares' adenosine A2A receptor antagonist candidate for the treatment of CNS disorders.

The Capuchin Franciscans are an order of brothers, also called "friars." The Capuchin order began as a reform of the Franciscan Observants in 1525 when several friars, disillusioned with the relaxations of the life, desired to return to a stricter observance of the rule and testament of St. Francis. In particular, they sought a more contemplative life, coupled with rigorous poverty and austerity, in accordance with the earliest traditions of the order. The Capuchins were originally persecuted for their… MORE

MACON, Ga. -- The federal government has joined a whistleblower lawsuit against two large hospital operators accused of filing fraudulent Medicaid and Medicare claims.
The False Claims Act lawsuit was filed last year against Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare Corp. and four of its hospitals in Georgia and South Carolina, as well as a Georgia hospital owned by Naples, Fla.-based Health Management Associates Inc.
The lawsuit claims the hospitals entered into contracts with obstetric clinics operated by Hispanic Medical Management and Clinica de la Mama and their affiliates that primarily serve women living in the country without authorization. The suit says the clinics then referred the women to the hospitals in exchange for kickbacks from fraudulent claims.
Health Management Associates has declined to comment on pending litigation. Tenet said when the lawsuit was unsealed last year that it believes the agreements were appropriate and provided substantial benefit to women in underserved Hispanic communities. Phone numbers for Hispanic Medical Management and Clinica de la Mama, both in Georgia, could not immediately be found.
The federal whistleblower lawsuit, filed by Ralph Williams, a former chief financial officer for Health Management Associates, says the kickback scheme went on for more than a decade. The state of Georgia has also joined the lawsuit to recover state Medicaid funds.
"The Department of Justice is committed to ensuring that health care providers who pay kickbacks in return for patient referrals are held accountable," Stuart F. Delery, the assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Civil Division, said in a statement. "Schemes such as this one corrupt the health care system and take advantage of vulnerable patients."
The Anti-Kickback Statute makes it illegal to offer, pay, solicit or receive payment to win referrals of items or services covered by Medicare, Medicaid and other federally funded programs. It's meant to make sure that a doctor's medical recommendations are based on the patient's best interest rather than financial incentives.

- - Ever had an injury or crash that made you consider quitting? (http://www.snowboardingforum.com/slam-section/52395-ever-had-injury-crash-made-you.html)
Ever had an injury or crash that made you consider quitting?
I caught an edge today going REALLY fast and landed very awkwardly on my face with my spine taking the force of the fall and making a huge cracking sound. I did not move for 10 minutes after the fall.
I remember the excruciating pain shooting up my spine and not feeling anything beneath my waist for a split second. I laid there praying that I wasn't paralyzed and tried to wiggle my toes( just like kill bill, yes i know) and luckily they moved. After ten minutes I made my way down slowly and went home.
During those ten minutes of not being able to get up, I thought about my job, which requires me to me mobile and physical, and having to quit and spending my life with a cane or something. Then when I was able to get up I thought about maybe quitting. The chance of getting permanently injured just isn't worth it. Losing job, quality of life, and whatnot.
What about you guys?
nope. if i got paralyzed i'd ride a sit-ski.
sounds like you might have been riding above your ability level... maybe dial it back a bit. did you even get injured or just scared?
Nope. Not even once. The only crash that could make me quit would be one that kills me.
Hey man, glad to hear you are ok. I had a couple spills like that and one particularly that really made me consider if this sport was for worth it or not.
I was at Hunter 2 years ago and I decided to take one more run after it started getting icey. I didn't catch an edge but couldn't stop on a turn off the Belt Parkway and slammed head first into the wall on a curve. I was going pretty fast and couldn't stop. I saw my life blink in front of me as I was headed for that wall.
As I was pinned up against that wall with my feet up in the air (while in agonizing pain) I started to think about life and my future. Is this shit worth it? Why the eff am I doing this? I'm too old and fat for this sport....etc. Just a lot of negative thoughts came to my mind. It took me about 20 minutes to gather myself and make my way out of there. I slowly made my way down the mountain and back to the bar to meet up with friends.
This was the first day of a 2 day trip with my buddies. I was walking with a limp, had bruises all over my body and one nasty headache. I really did not want to go back out on that mountain the next day.
After breakfast the next morning I wasn't sure about what I wanted to do. Sit in the lobby while all of my friends were out on that mountain or go back on that mountain and give it another shot? I said fuck it. I paid all this money for this and I'm not going to sit around while my buddies are having a good time. I went back out there and I was fine within a half hour.
I realized a few things about snowboarding. Try to ride with a few buddies. I was alone when I crashed but if something bad were to have happened I want someone looking for me. Try to avoid crappy/icy conditions. Don't over do it. If you feel like you got a lot of runs in for the day and are pretty tired then call it a day. That one extra run could get you hurt. Wear lots of protection like knee pads, elbow pads, crash pads, and possibly a full body armor. I have all of that shit. I am not taking any chances.
I would recommend that you take a day or two to think about it. If you feel it is too dangerous and not worth it then just walk away from it for a while. This is a dangerous sport and could be life threatening. There are more important things in this world other than snowboarding.
Good luck.
Yes, sure. Thought about it in the beginning. But usually after second or third surgery these thoughts go away.
Nope never considered quitting from a crash.
I know some of us, including myself already have lasting injuries but I don't regret any one of them and I'm willing to feel it again to keep riding. I guess it's just an individual thing though, personally I'd rather be out there doing it and taking chances than live a life of what ifs. I don't have a family/kids to support, and I can understand how that could change a persons mindset on things. Every time I've had a really bad slam with injuries the first thing on my mind and the first thing I want to do is get back out there and do it right the next time but there's nothing wrong with another person having second thoughts. To each their own.
Slow the fuck down.
Nope, never considered quitting.
However, I think that first big major crash changes things for a lot of people. If it happens to you, things suddenly become a lot more serious when it comes to being smart and taking care of yourself.
Before my first big injury I never hit the gym and I took a lot of risks that I didn't need to take.
After my first surgery I started working on regularly and I try to be smarter about which risks I take and how I can limit my risk while learning.
If you love snowboarding, the big crashes and injuries won't stop you, instead they'll make you a smarter, safer rider.

I've experienced some very close calls, mostly near death - only one comes to mind where I thought for a bit that I might be paralyzed. The near death ones made me appreciate my hobbies all the more (this sensation is short lived, as I quickly become complacent again), the one where I thought I may be paralyzed made me hope that my loved ones would pull the plug if they had the opportunity (I thought I might have been paralyzed from the neck down). What has changed is that I am now willing to push myself all the more while I have little concern or worries, to live with very little or no fear unconquered. If I have children however, I plan on toning it down quite a bit, for I am a product of a parent who was far more concerned with aspirations than parenthood. I won't follow that same path. So while I'm independent without dependents, ride on.
Op, that sounds like a real nasty fall. I pray I never have a fall like that.
My only major fall was when I'd been riding about 4 weeks in total. Was up the top of Lake Louise trying to keep up with a mate who was more skilled than I on a really icy section. Not off the top of the gondola, the lift to the skiers right, can't remember what it's called. Anyway, I was on my toe edge and managed to clip his board at a decent speed and managed to slam my head into the ice. (Wasn't wearing a helmet) for a split second I thought my days of riding were over. My mate suggested we go to the lodge and grab a band aid. I realised when riding down that wouldn't be enough as blood was streaming down my jacket. Got stitches that arvo, bought a helmet and was back into it the next day. Nasty black eye for the rest of my trip tho.
I'm always really fearful of taking a fall that ends my days of snowboarding. I guess that's why I'm not big on park. I think i'd rather take a fall that kills me, than to never be able to ride again.

Abdul Mutallab
If you think the actions of Nigerian-born terror-bombing suspect Abdul Umar Mutallab raises questions about the competence of the Nigerian government in Abuja to deal with issues of terrorism and global security, you are probably right.
But what about the alarming fact that there is political conundrum in Nigeria where that West African nation's president has been out of office for 50 days now?
No one has been sworn in as acting president even though the constitution empowers the vice president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, to act in the absence of President Umaru Yar'Adua.
President Yar'Adua is presently in Saudi Arabia attending to a serious aliment that Nigerian newspapers are already reporting has left the president brain dead.
There is a silent war inside the Nigerian government regarding who would succeed Yar'Adua, who may not come back to rule. The government has yet to issue a statement on the actual condition of the president.
Too bad in a nation that has been all too familiar with political strife and inconsistent democratic governance over the last decades. The history of so-called governance in Nigeria is a history of ruthless corruption with their Western collaborators at the expense of hard-pressed Nigerian tax payers in a nation that is the 11th largest oil producer in the world and fifth supplier to the U.S.
It is unimaginable that despite the billions that Nigeria profits in oil revenues, most parts of that nation don't have electricity. For too long, the people of Nigeria have watched government officials siphon public dollars to Swiss Bank in the billions.
One would expect that given the recent heightened negative publicity that Nigeria received as a result of the Mutallab saga, plus being added to the list of terror prone countries, the government would quickly move to address the president's absence by installing the vice president.
One would think that the government would in fact want to show to the world that its house is in order despite Yar'Adua's long absence. But that is not the case. Nigeria is presently the only country in the world where the president is reported to be in a comatose state and the vice president cannot take charge.
The millions of people who have long been abused by corrupt leaders — most of them coming from the top brass of the Nigerian military — are waiting to watch another political dance take place. Hopefully there won't be another military coup.
One Nigerian in Detroit said the reason for the silence and hesitance to name an interim replacement is that the different factions in the Nigerian government are trying to work out a deal. They are trying to see who would benefit the most from the president's absence.

The race for Tim Scott's former congressional seat finally turned to issues Monday, as Republican Mark Sanford and Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch met for the first — and probably only — time.
In 75 feisty minutes, the two 1st District hopefuls sparred over federal spending, health care, education, gun control, each other's backgrounds and each other's supporters.
Colbert Busch criticized Sanford for not voting to fund the port or the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge when he last served in Congress — and criticized him for leaving the state in 2009, though her remarks created a roar in the 500-person hall, making it was impossible to hear all of what she said.
Sanford asked if Colbert Busch thought he was not a good congressman, why did she give him $500 when he later ran for governor. He said her criticism of those votes — which he said was rooted in what part of the budget the money was coming from — was political, adding, "I get that it bothers her now."
Mostly, Sanford linked her with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, whose name he mentioned about 10 times, and with other leading Democrats who helped raise money for her.
"It really does matter how we fund our campaigns," he said. "What it says is whose voice you will carry in Washington."
Their encounter at The Citadel's Holliday Alumni Center marked the most substantive moment to date in a campaign that has featured Sanford's complaints about too few debates and attempts to link Colbert Busch with Pelosi.
Colbert Busch has held several public events, mostly emphasizing her themes of creating new jobs and pushing for equal pay for women and men, though she has offered relatively few details.
She served up more details Monday, including a new pledge to return 10 percent of her congressional salary to taxpayers. She also questioned why the federal government spends $150 billion on 3,100 data centers for 12 different agencies. "That's completely unnecessary," she said.
Overall, Sanford talked about the urgency of getting the nation's financial house in order and noted he won top rankings as a fiscal conservative and taxpayer's friend both as congressman and as governor. "We're at an incredible tipping point," he said.
While Colbert Busch also talked about getting the nation's financial house in order, she also said, "This is not the end of our time as we know it. The sky is not falling, Henny Penny."

Tips offered on school bus safety
January 19, 2013
MARTINSBURG — Whether a school bus driver or traveling motorist, school bus safety is a job for every driver on the road....
Has anyone tried exiting any one of the major schools in Inwood during drop off or pick up times for the students? Especially Musselman Middle? It is no wonder more accidents do not happen. The traffic patterns and timing for parents leaving coinciding with the buses leaving is hectic and makes for a traffic nightmare when turning left out there and trying integrate into the rest of the traffic.

They can't have seatbelts on a bus because they are usually so over crowded. My kids ride a bus that has several seats with 3 in a seat. And these are high school kids who are sitting 3 in a seat. My son was basically sitting in the aisle at times. Our buses are to crowded anymore and with more developments being built the problem will only get worse. The school board needs to worry about the safety on the buses a little more. And when these buses are crowded like they are it has to make it harder on the driver to watch every kid & to keep control of the kids. We need more buses & drivers before a child is seriously injured.

Before anyone else rants about seatbelts stop and think for a minute. There has to be a logical reason why there are no seatbelts on buses nationwide for the most part. First....if there were how would it be possible for one driver to monitor and enforce the usage belts by every student? Provided the k-5 age group clicks it doesnt mean they will sit still the whole ride in a safe position for the belt to safely protect them. I guarantee they will wriggle out of them, or just click them off within minutes. Secondly....ok...lets say you people got you precious seatbelts installed....theres a serious accident where the bus is on its side and has rendered many on the bus injured and unconscious. The bus needs evacuated immediately. If the driver(being the only adult) is injured and or deceased, who is going to go thru the bus and free all of the injured ones in a timely fashion while theyre strapped in thier seats in the air? Its just not practical and foolproof on a bus.

so. there will be cameras. And the purpose of the cameras is to nail the safety violator and, presumably, to affix responsibility and determine causation in the event of a collision. And this is ballyhooed as a safety enhancement when there are no seatbelts on busses? Silliness.

I just returned from the 20th Annual Plant and Animal Genome Conference, which was held in San Diego. It appears to be the premier meeting covering this particular subject, as many of the scientists I spoke to told me that thousands of researchers from all over the world attend every year. As those of you familiar with GEN know, we focus on new biotherapeutic discovery, R&D, and biomanufacturing. I took off for San Diego because I thought it would be a good idea to get a sense of what's been going on in the plant and nonhuman animal research world.
Topics ranged from the general such as ecological genomics, plant interactions with pests and pathogens, and cattle and sheep to somewhat more specialized presentations and workshops including the sugar cane genome initiative, international goat consortium meeting, banana genomics, and the buffalo project.
These and a number of other talks all sounded interesting and important to varying degrees, but what really caught my eye while looking at the program book was the Saturday session entitled "Climate Change and ICRCGC."
Taking note of the expectation that climate change will impact agroclimatic conditions such as temperature, precipitation, soil nutrients, and a growing incidence of a variety of disease-pests, the concomitant presentations were designed to stress the need that "to combat these changed scenarios, development of climate-resilient crop varieties with growth plasticity, resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, improved growth and development patterns, higher efficiency for carbon sequestration, and utilization of soil macro- and micronutrients is imperative," as described on the conference website.
A number of the session presenters reinforced the idea that important plant genetic resources needed to be identified and then properly conserved for a climatically challenged world. Under the auspices of the International Climate-Resistant Crop Genomics Consortium (ICRCGC), the session speakers stuck to the following theme: "Genomic and transgenic techniques coupled with traditional breeding approaches must be deployed for genomic dissection of crops' responses to climate change and their improvement with new gene combinations for more sustainable agriculture."
Accordingly, the foci of several of these sessions included genomics and breeding of cereals for root architecture and abiotic stress tolerance, gene discovery, and prebreeding in cereals for broad resistance against insects adaptable to variable environments, molecular and genomics-assisted breeding of perennial crops for climate change mitigation and adaptation, and genomics and breeding for adaptation in rice with emphasis on submergence and salt stress.
Although I did not attend every session presentation, I saw and heard enough to conclude that research in this biotech arena needs the full financial support of public and private organizations. After all, if nothing is done from the agbiotech perspective, we might be looking at a future where some important food crops completely disappear or exhibit significantly decreased levels of production. I'm sure we can all agree that this is not the type of world we want to hand over to future generations of fellow humans.

Camera of the Year 2011
Latest Camera Reviews
Who would have thought that a digital camera inspired by the almost-bygone era of film would become an instant best-seller for a company that has been mostly absent from the higher-end of the market? That's what the X100 achieved for Fujifilm in 2011, a retro product with a very modern twist that has proved to be by far the biggest surprise of the year, and a clear winner of our Camera of the Year 2011 award.
"The X100 delivers all of the goods and more in terms of its overall handling and image quality. Fujifilm have married the best of the past, in the multitude of external controls, leaf-shutter, optical viewfinder and stunning appearance, with some cutting-edge features, most notably the hybrid optical / electronic viewfinder, which really is a revelation to use."
Congratulations to Fujifilm and the X100!

Bravo! With the introduction of so many really good cameras this year (even by today's standards of innovative and quickly changing technology), it must have been hard to nail it down to one. But on its merits of excellent IQ, build quality, traditionally great Fuji color (particularly rendering of skin tones), retro good looks, that wonderful choice of optical or great resolution EVF, as well as the usual LCD, reasonable sensor and great lens/aperture range, excellent high ISO performance - and on and on - well, great choice, in my very humble opinion. Next year should be even more exciting, making our selections even more difficult!
I have had one for 8 months and I use it alongside my D90. The X100 is a revalation and well deserved winner, sure it my have a few quirks but I love it.
Great pictures! Do you know that you can actually earn good money with your digital camera? You can do it using my Digital Camera Cash ebook. Check it out!

They Have a Dream, Too
They Have a Dream, Too
Published in NYC Schools
N'Deye and Trinity were among a group of New York City elementary student semifinalists who were recognized at an awards ceremony on Saturday, January 26 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Their teachers, friends, family, and school administrators were there to cheer them on.
"This is so exciting and wonderful for these students and our school" said Sara Malekzadeh, who teaches art at TCCS.
The projects of both TCCS students focused on the issue of littering. N'Deye's multimedia effort was titled "My Dream is to Help the World Be a Better Place by Stopping Littering." Trinity's collage, done with oil pastels and textured materials, was titled "I Dream that All the Garbage…"
"I came up with the idea for my artwork because there is so much littering in my community, wrote N'Deye, who is six years old, in her artist's statement. "My dream is for my community to stop littering. I see people throwing trash on the sidewalk and on the streets. People should throw their trash in the trash cans.
"Dr. King had his own dream. His dream was for everyone to be free and equal and for the world to be a better place. He used his words not his fists. I hope people will stop littering so our world can be a better and cleaner place."
Trinity, who is also six, wrote, "Sometimes when I go outside it is stinky because there is so much garbage on the ground and that makes me sad. Dr. Martin Luther King's speech has taught me that we need to make the world a better place. I learned that if we start a community that cares about the world that will follow to other people. Dr. King was a loving and caring person and I want to be too."
The co-presenter and curator of THE DREAM@50 Art Contest is Karz Productions, which created the critically acclaimed documentary feature, Legacy: Black and White in America, the third film in The Millennium Dinners documentary series.TCCS is a public, university-assisted school for pre-K through eighth grade, run by the New York City Department of Education and formally affiliated with Teachers College. The school admitted its first class – a group of kindergarten students in fall 2011 – and this past fall moved into a permanent facility at 168 Morningside Avenue and West 126th Street. Designed with community input, the school integrates delivery of services for children and families in order to optimize educational opportunities and achievement.

Source: AutoWeek
quote: The footprint thing was designed to prevent manufacturers from offsetting cars with low MPG ratings by adding one or two high MPG cars to the lineup...but that opens the door for them to make big cars with dinky 4-banger engines so that they can boost the MPG for a given "category" of cars.
quote: Obama has been trying to force "green energy" policies on America to the exclusion of something practical like domestic oil production. Don't buy into the nonsense that a president's policies have no effect on the price of gas because it's a load of crap.
quote: Not only can you buy these vehicles but people actually do even with the obamaconomy holding the middle class hostage. So don't tell me that there is no demand for such cars or that they're relics of the past. People still want them and will buy them, impractical as they may be.
quote: That's the wrong way to look at it. If your nameplate doesn't have some kind of awesomeness associated with it, it's going to be a boring brand that doesn't get much attention.
quote: So a turbo car or a V8 which has 70-100% of its peak torque at 2,500 RPM is going to "feel the same" as your econoturd? Riiiight...
quote: The reason we do the footprint method is so that automakers like Ford, Chevy, and Dodge can still make trucks.
quote: Now they determine it based on footprint within the class.
quote: That's why you have different metrics for each class with subcompacts like the Fit being forced to hit 60mpg CAFE (45mpg EPA) while larger cars like the Camry have to hit about 45mpg CAFE (30mpg EPA).
quote: Why don't you go to politifact and look up Obama $2 gas.
quote: Gas is a internationally trade commodity. Do you think we could actually hit $2 again?
quote: The government doesn't drill for oil itself and can't control the producers or consumers of oil. Obama can't tell China to stop importing oil any more than he can tell OPEC to produce more crude.
quote: That is why I say presidents have little control over gas prices. It has nothing to do with Obama being in office, it's just simple economics.
quote: So you can point out the SRT Viper and the Corvette ZR1, but consider that those cars are sold in exceedingly small numbers and the only way they will survive in the future is to sell them with 4 or 6 cylinders to a mass market or to sell them at a high price, with development costs factored in, to a small group of wealthier individuals.
quote: A better example would be to look at Toyota which went for about 7yrs without the MR2 or the Supra and took to volume selling crown from GM.
quote: An amazing car doesn't sell the brand. Corvettes help sell cars but not as much as a solid line of reliable models.
quote: I am right that you won't see a huge difference between hp at the 2500rpm range. However, I'm glad you mentioned torque because, yes there is a massive difference when going from a V8 on torque to a 4 cylinder. However, when comparing economies to full size cars, you are also forgetting that a full size car will weigh about 1000lbs more than an econobox. So the increase in torque has to match or exceed the ratio to weight to derive a benefit from the increased torque.
quote: CAFE standards were applicable to vehicles under 8,500 lbs AND there "light trucks" were graded differently than "cars". So no, this is not the reason. It's what you believe to be the reason.
quote: Why don't you just look at the historical prices of gas at the pump from 2000-2008 and 2008-2012?
quote: If we are drilling oil locally we can tax oil exports and credit domestically sold oil to make it more cost effective to sell oil that is drilled in the US within the US.
quote: The technology developed and implemented in pinnacle vehicles like the Corvette ZR1 and SRT Viper can be applied to all vehicles throughout the model lineup in some way. So while the investment in developing these cars may not be recouped from sales of said vehicles - the knowledge gained allows them to produce better cars overall.
quote: More simple rithmetic I presume? You're incorrect btw.
quote: We can safely conclude that you have never driven anything other than an econo car or maybe a "sporty import", but noting truly fast like an Evo or WRX STI.
quote: The footprint applies to trucks too because there is quite a difference between the Colorado and the 3500. Now Chevy doesn't have to sell three Colorado to every one 3500 to meet the standard just like they don't need to sell 4 Aveo for every Camaro. That is how the footprint method applies. Read up on it.
quote: Why don't you? Then you can see how it was $4 per gallon right before it plummeted to $2, along with the economy. Wow! Now I understand what you mean, the best way to get gas down to $2 is to crash our economy and kill demand, right?
quote: So we can violate the world trade agreement we signed onto and pay fines to oil producing countries? You can't go protective like you're talking about while remaining part of the WTO.
quote: You're excellent idea is not possible with our economy. As I mentioned earlier, it's simple economics with a demand and supply curve dictated by the rise in demand in China and the limiting of supply by OPEC.
quote: The engines are not investments that can be applied to all vehicles because you would be stupid to put a 426hp engine in a Malibu.
quote: You are comparing a V8 super car to an anemic I4. My original example was a 150hp vs a 300hp. So a better comparison would be your V6 Camaro and the I4 Accent. You add 50% more weight for 60% increase in hp and torque. If there were better examples.I would use them but they are a rough selection. Ofcourse a 425hp car is going to beat a 100hp car unless it is 4 times the weight. I never said an econobox with near equal weight and a quarter of the power would be the same. Your example is more like comparing a Veyron to a Prius.
quote: I've driven a Mustang GT, a Corvette coupe, a WRX STI, and Dodge Charger. I know what cars drive like, and I could easily tell the difference between the Charger and the Corvette based primarily because of the weight difference. Now if you drive those vehicles outside of their proper power bands like 2500 rpms vs 4500 rpms, they feel sluggish like driving a normal mid size car within its power band. That is the point I am trying to make. Any car outside its power band will always feel sluggish because you are slinging a car with little torque relative to its weight.

Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus tells the story of two competing magicians trying to outdo each other in the creation of an enchanted circus. Whether you've read it and want more of the gothic atmosphere, period charm, and dazzling detail, are on the holds list for it, or just enjoy a bit of whimsy and dark Victorianism, these books should be of interest.Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, a tale of the resurgence of English magic in the early 19th century, is just as dense and immersive as the equally thick Night Circus, and like that novel features a period writing style and a fully realized magical world-within-a-world.

An term of derision. In this situation, a woman regularly hooks up with a man who is only interested in casual sex. The man will either explicitly say that he does not want a romantic relationship, or will repeatedly tell the woman that he is "not sure what he wants"- as a way to defer the subject, or to indirectly tell the woman "no." But the woman naively believes that if she just sticks it out long enough and shows the man how much she cares for him, a proper relationship will eventually begin. In actuality this will never, ever happen. The "hook upgrade" is the female equivalent of the "gay friend" phenomenon.
Despite several failures, Buffy continues to believe in the possibility of the hook upgrade.

CALCUTTA - The Beavers took advantage of yet another slow start by the Tigers.
The Beaver Local girls' basketball team scored the first 10 points of the game en route to a 68-42 victory over local rival Wellsville Monday night at the Beaver Dome.
With the win, the Beavers are now 1-2.

"We had a couple of tough games to start the season," Beaver Local head coach J.R. Walker said. "We have been stressing pressure on defense, and tonight the pressure paid off. It also helps when you hit some shots."
With the loss, the Tigers drop to 1-2. Wellsville has lost its last two games after winning its opener.
"It is tough to battle back when you put yourselves in a hole like that," Wellsville head coach Ed Swogger said.
Fact Box
Beaver Local 68, Wellsville 42
WE (42): Angelica Scarabino 1 1-2 3, Sabrina Thompson 4 2-4 10, Monica Wilson 1 1-2 3, Brittany Clendenning 1 0-4 2, Shartece Taylor 2 2-2 6, Kallee Powell 3 2-2 9, Abbey Thrasher 1 0-0 2, Destiny Crow 2 0-0 4, Codie Jackson 0 2-2 2, Ashley Bennett 0 0-2 0, Brittany Caldwell 0 1-2 1, Rasheeda Kalam 0 0-0 0, Autumn Harris 0 0-0 0.

Totals: 26 12-26 68.
3-Pointers: Wellsville: 1 (Powell); Beaver Local: 3 (Bishop, Cianni, Anderson)
The two losses have come in similar fashion for the Tigers.
In Thursday night's home loss to East Liverpool, the Potters ripped off a 17-1 run to take a 17-5 lead in the first quarter. Beaver Local built a 17-4 lead in the first quarter Monday night.
The Beavers led 19-8 at the end of the first quarter, and the hosts extended their lead to 35-14 at halftime.
Both teams struggled at times keeping possession of the ball. The two teams combined to commit 58 turnovers in the games. Beaver Local committed 28, while Wellsville committed 30.
"We were so impatient on offense," Swogger said. "We were really pressing on offense.
"Beaver Local's defense was awful tenacious tonight. Some of those turnovers were due to their defense. Some of them were bad turnovers on are part. In the end, that is a big number."
Samantha Bishop scored a game-high 21 points to lead the way for Beaver Local.
Also for the Beavers, Danna Talbott tallied 12 points, Maranda Kiddey added eight points and Ravenna Cianni and Mattie Anderson each netted seven points. Finally, Sierra Wright recorded five points, Sam Kendall collected four points and Courtney Ricciardi and Tannar Dolhun each delivered two points.
"We played 14 girls," Walker said. "The only reason we didn't play 15 was because one girl just returned to practice. It is a great win. Getting that first win is always tough. I'm happy for these young ladies and I am happy for the school."
Sabrina Thompson netted 10 points to lead the way for the Tigers.
Also for Wellsville, Kallee Powell produced nine points, Shartece Taylor recorded six points and Destiny Crow ended up with four points. Finally, Aneglica Scarabino added three points, Codie Jackson scored two points and Brittany Caldwell ended up with one point.
Beaver Local led 52-28 entering the fourth quarter. The Beavers led by as many as 29 points in the fourth quarter before recording the 26-point victory.
"I knew they would press us hard which they did," Swogger said. "We worked on our man offense, but their pressure got to us tonight.
"We are a young team, and with the injuries we have, we were even younger tonight. J.R. does a good job with those girls. Their girls played hard.
"Our girls played hard. They play hard until the end which is good to see for a young team. They played hard. We had some freshmen in the game early. We had some sophomores in the game. They played well throughout the game."
The Beavers controlled the boards against the Tigers. Beaver Local pulled down 53 rebounds. Allison Kennedy contributed 11, Bishop grabbed nine and Talbott collected eight.
"The ladies stepped up big time tonight," Walker said. "I couldn't be more happy as a coach."
Beaver Local won the JV game, 48-23. Ravenna netted nine points to lead the way for the Beavers.
Beaver Local plays Thursday at home against Lakeview, while Wellsville travels to Sebring.

CLEVELAND - The Cleveland State volleyball team will head to Lawrence, Kan., and play 11th-seeded Kansas in a first round NCAA Championship match at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
The pairings for the 64-team field were announced on Sunday afternoon on ESPNU.
This will be CSU's second appearance all-time in the NCAA Championship. The Vikings also played in the NCAA tournament in 2007, falling to Albany in the first round at Penn State.

"This is an exciting time for our program and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to play in the NCAA tournament," head coach Chuck Voss said. "We have worked hard all season to get to this moment and we are going to work hard in practice this week and represent Cleveland State and the Horizon League in the tournament as best we can."
Freshman Kelly Kiger, a 2012 East Liverpool graduate, has seen some time on the court this year for the Vikings.
This will be just the second all-time meeting in volleyball between CSU and Kansas. The Jayhawks earned a 3-1 win over the Vikings in the Wyoming Cowgirl Invitational on Sept. 12, 2008.
The Vikings will enter the NCAA Championship with a 23-6 record, having won both the Horizon League regular season and tournament titles. Cleveland State blew through its league slate with a 13-1 mark, winning the regular season crown by three matches.
Cleveland State then defeated Loyola and UIC to win the league tournament title and the Horizon League's automatic bid to the NCAA Championship.
The Vikings have won 13 straight matches.
The 20th-ranked Jayhawks are 25-6 this season and were 12-4 in league play.
Wichita State and Arkansas will meet in the other first round match at Kansas at 5 p.m. with the two winners playing a second round contest at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
