Fukamushi Teapots are the best kind of teapot to use with green teas with very fine leaf particles such as deep steamed green tea. Typically, they have a tall profile, do not use a filter type of basket, and the infusor screen is a very fine stainless steel mesh. The nice thing about fukamushi teapots is that you can brew just about any kind of green tea in them, which is not the case for light steamed green tea pots such as shiboridashi and houhin. If you are looking for one teapot only that can brew any kind of green tea, a teapot designed for deep steamed green tea will be a good choice.

Buffalo's renowned system of parks, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvin Vaux in the late 1800s, has inspired a new book, "The Best Planned City in the World: Olmsted, Vaux, and the Buffalo Park System."
The book (272 pages, $39.95), written by SUNY Buffalo State Distinguished Professor Emeritus Francis W. Kowsky and published by the University of Massachusetts Press in association with the Library of American Landscape History, is the first in the Library of American Landscape History's new series, "Designing the American Park."
The book and the Buffalo park system will be discussed in a free event from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Saturday in the WNED studio building, 140 Lower Terrace St. Kowsky will be joined by Thomas Herrera-Mishler, president and CEO of the nonprofit Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy, which maintains the parks, and by Ethan Carr, an Olmsted scholar, associate professor of landscape architecture at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and editor of the "Designing the American Park" series. The event is co-sponsored by the Library of American Landscape History and the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy.
Each of the three experts will speak about a different facet of the parks, said Herrera-Mishler, who plans to talk about their future. After the presentations, the panel members will take questions from the audience, and at the conclusion, Kowsky will sign copies of the book.

Bobby Petrino, disgraced former Arkansas football coach, has sold his mansion in Fayetteville, Ark., for $1.7 million.
The Arkansas Business Journal reported that Petrino and his wife, Becky, bought the 8,741-square-foot home for $2.25 million in March of 2008.
The house had been on the market for about two years, when he and his wife decided to downsize.
Petrino was fired by Arkansas on April 15 after it was revealed that he used his position to hire his mistress, a 25-year-old former volleyball player for the Razorbacks, to the football support staff.
In May, Petrino and his wife also sold their vacation home in Beaver Lake, Ark.
The motorcycle that he crashed, ultimately leading to the exposure of his affair, also has been sold, and Petrino's Arkansas luggage and golf bags wound up at a Goodwill center in Springdale, Ark.
Petrino has not commented since his dismissal.

The Planet Eclipse Geo2 in Poison2 is the ultimate Eclipse spool valve marker. With the arrival of upgrades such as the GR-2 Kit and more recently the GST kit, the Geo has developed and matured into a class act and has been picked up and used by an ever increasing number of players. In 2010 there was a near 50/50 split between Ego and Geo users on pro and semi-pro teams. In terms of ergonomics, features, and performance, the Geo2 will further define what is possible from the Geo platform.
Taking the knowledge acquired and the feedback gained since the launch of Geo, the Geo2 has been modified in virtually every area. From efficiency, to balance, to electronics and regulation, the Geo has been improved. The Geo2 excels in being able to shoot the most fragile paint possible.
A completely new propshaft assembly design introduces a spring-loaded drive core. This drive core prevents air loss during the firing stroke of the bolt and ensures the valve chamber is fully sealed prior during the return stroke of the bolt (prior to refilling). It results in better efficiency and faster recharge of the valve chamber. The new finned propshaft tip helps keep the propshaft and bolt in perfect rhythm at all times.
The SL3 inline regulator is more accurate, more consistent, and has a faster recharge than any previous Planet Eclipse regulators. On top of that, it will allow the Geo2 to operate with LP, MP or HP tanks with no fluctuation in performance or velocity. Geo2's will now shoot down to the last 200psi of tank pressure with next to zero loss in velocity.
The Shaft4 barrel has been developed specifically to improve efficiency and consistency. Also there are optional rear control bore sections which allow higer velocity, accuracy and a lower sound signature.
After the success of the GST kit for the Geo, the Geo2 receives the same treatment. The GST and the GST Geo2 bolt now work in conjunction with the new spring drive core to further reduce recoil and sound signature. This makes the Geo2 supremely smooth and quiet.
Geo2's all new circuit board has a 92% larger LCD screen with adjustable backlight color and a 16-bit, 16 MIPS PIC microprocessor. It also has Micro and Opto trigger sensing and a new GUI (Graphical User Interface). The optimized solenoid circuitry offers increased accuracy of dwell and ROF control.
Optional E-Portal kit lets you connect the Geo2 to a PC making it possible to: upload firmware, make splash screens, and remotely adjust parameters.
A wider trigger frame to regulator spacing allows an increase in the stance of the Geo2. This changes the basic feel of the marker and facilitates a higher rear hand placement.
Some of the dominant features such as the valve system, low dynamic seal count, cure bolt technology, deftek feed system, break beam sensor system, POPS ASA, clamping feedneck, toolless maintenance make teching this marker a breeze. The primary changes combined with the core Geo and Planet Eclipse values take the Geo2 to the next level. This makes the Geo2 one of the lightest, most efficient, most reliable spool valve markers for sale today.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
In May of this year, the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) announced it had created the first fully synthetic, self-replicating bacterial cell (Mycoplasma nycoides JCVI-syn1.0). While this proof-of-concept demonstration of an "artificial life form" might raise justifiable fears about the dangers of unregulated or nefarious synthetic biology efforts, in fact the bioindustry has for some time been forging ahead with globally and commercially meaningful applications.
This fall, JCVI along with Synthetic Genomics (SGI), which was co-founded by Craig Venter and Hamilton Smith, formed a new company named Synthetic Genomics Vaccines.
The vaccines company has signed a three-year collaboration with Novartis to create influenza seed (starter-culture) strains for large-scale manufacture of flu vaccines. The intention is to reduce vaccine production time by having a bank of synthetically produced seed viruses; this should accelerate production of flu vaccines for seasonal or pandemic applications instead of relying on WHO's more time-lagging distribution of live reference viruses.
"The rate-limiting step in developing seasonal flu vaccines is the production of pure vaccine seeds specific to flu virus strains that change from year to year," says Jim Flatt, Ph.D., CTO at SGI. "Synthetically developing vaccine seeds provides the opportunity to significantly reduce the time to develop and produce the seed stock, thereby getting vaccines to market sooner."
Dr. Flatt says that SGI, through its supported research at JCVI, has developed a "one-pot, isothermal method to assemble pieces of DNA rapidly and accurately." SGI is applying the platform to develop cyanobacteria for production of products ranging from biofuels to food and feed ingredients. Scientists at JCVI and SGI are also developing what they describe as a pioneering methodology to transplant whole genomes into recipient cells.
SGI says its milestones to date follow its predicted trajectory of the commercialization of synthetic biology products.
"The first products will likely be synthetic genomic tool-based products that facilitate more rapid, cost-effective synthesis and assembly of DNA molecules for both research and commercial purposes. Soon thereafter, we expect to see seasonal flu vaccines, developed from commercialized vaccine seeds," says Dr. Flatt.
"Subsequently, one can expect to see engineered microbial biocatalysts and processes designed around commercialized biocatalysts—first in food and feed markets and, later, in agriculture and biofuels. The specific time frames to commercialize products in each of these fields is partially dependent upon receiving regulatory approvals both for products and manufacturing processes, which are unique to each market."

The fourth-graders at St. Stephen Elementary School walked down Russellville Road earlier this month two-by-two with crafts and books in hand. Their mission: to simply brighten the day of the residents at the Lake Moultrie Nursing Facility.
These St. Stephen Elementary students were among 4,000 youths participating in Trident United Way's Tricounty Youth Service Day. Some groups completed their projects during April but many will serve Friday. This initiative is part of Global Youth Service Day.
Sally Burnett, community volunteer coordinator for Trident United Way, said the students cover the tri-county area and learn leadership and teamwork and connect to their communities.
"They are an important part of something bigger," Burnett said.
Tara Smith, a student support specialist with Communities in Schools, works with students at St. Stephen Elementary on character development and social responsibility. She said she wanted the students to volunteer at the nursing home to learn "empathy, sympathy and respect for others, no matter their abilities."
These are all values they have focused on throughout the school year. She also said it was something they could do in their own community.
Diane Gourdine, activities assistant at the nursing facility, said there are 78 residents in the home, and they have several daily activities. But having the 48 students there to read and interact with them brought a whole new level of excitement.
"It means a lot to the residents and staff because it boosts the residents' morale. Children have so much energy," Gourdine said.
Fourth-grader Nukell Moore said he was a bit apprehensive to visit a nursing home for the first time because he did not know what to expect. But once he was there, that all went away.
"I just want to help them feel better and cheer them up," he said.
But the children weren't the only special guests. Healing Species, a student intervention program that uses therapy with rescued dogs to overcome violence, bullying and abuse, brought along two dogs.
Healing Species coordinator Nadeije Ahearn said they have been working with the students at St. Stephen Elementary to teach values like responsibility and empathy.
"We teach the kids to give love," she said. She added that they use dogs that have been abandoned to demonstrate that their circumstances don't have to control their lives.
At the end of the day, Smith led a group discussion so the students could share what they learned.
The students said the best part of the visit was making the residents happy. The majority of the students raised their hands when asked if they wanted to do it again.
"Even though it was a day event, our goal is to teach lifelong qualities for when they become adults," Smith said.

Verizon is arguably the biggest carriers in the United States with the largest 4G LTE network and some of the fastest data speeds in North America. Big red's mobile plans are often also the most expensive in the country - especially with the extinction of unlimited data plans - but that's a trade off for one of the most reliable networks.
Of course, you'll also want to get the most out of your service by getting a great phone to go with it. But with so many choices in the mobile space, it can be hard to parse the champs from the chaff. Well sit back and we'll give you the lowdown on the best Verizon handsets that will include iPhones of course, some Android devices and even Windows phones.
We're starting our tour of the best Verizon phone with the often forgotten LG G3. Despite being made with a faux metal body without the slightest bit of waterproofing as some other Android flagship devices, the LG G3 is still a solid and attractive handset.
What's more, it was also one of the first handsets to start the QHD craze with a 2,560 x 1,440 display. It's a new display resolution we're starting to see on more phablets, but the LG G3 comes with a slightly more restraint and less pocket bulging 5.5-inch sized screen.
The LG G3 also has some notable signature features including a back button for unlocking the device and triggering the shutter. Speaking of the camera, it also quick on focusing and has an optically image stabilized lens to boot.
Samsung Galaxy Note 4
Samsung's Galaxy Note has been a go to smartphone for phablets users for years. After seeing very littler iteration between the Note 2 and Note 3, the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is one the best and most powerful handsets around.
Firstly, the phablet comes with a 2,560 x 1,440 pixel screen as more handsets are beginning to push the display resolution beyond the 1080p envelope. Plus it's equipped with a blazing fast 2.7GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor and 3GB of RAM.
The Galaxy Note 4 is also one of the Samsung most well built handsets. The South Korean handset maker has been recently introducing new devices with a metal-rimmed body since introducing the Galaxy Alpha.
Moto G
In case you're shopping for a new handset on a budget you're best bet will be a Moto G. It comes at a very affordable $99 price but don't think that mean you're settling for a subpar device. The original Moto G was an excellent handset and the 2014 model is even better with a bigger 5-inch screen as well as an improved camera. That all said, the Moto G also has it fair share of issues including a chunky design and disappointingly short battery life.
Moto X
You knew it was coming (be honest), but the Moto X is a very good and noteworthy handset to include in our round up. Similar to the Moto G, Motorola has also bumped up the screen size a bigger 5.2-inches. This adds a little more screen real estate for web browsing and watching movies along with makes it a fair competitor amongst the flagship smartphone crowd.
The new Moto X has also been improved with an all-new aluminum metal frame, which adds some rigidity and a high-end feel to the handset. Some of our favorite features of the Moto X also return including customizable backs, an active display to efficiently display notifications as well as Motorola's patented always on-microphone to access the voice commands.

STEUBENVILLE - Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation agents are expected to continue analyzing electronic evidence today taken from several Steubenville City School district computers Thursday afternoon.
The BCI agents, assisted by Steubenville Police and Jefferson County sheriff's deputies met Thursday afternoon before serving search warrants at the board of education offices in the former McKinley Elementary School, Steubenville High School and the Harding Stadium fieldhouse.
The search for electronic evidence started at 2 p.m. and concluded at approximately 7 p.m., and the agents were reviewing the material taken from the school sites Thursday night.

An Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation vehicle sat in front of the Steubenville City Schools board of education offices at the former McKinley Elementary School Thursday afternoon. BCI agents, assisted by Steubenville Police and Jefferson County sheriff's deputies served search warrants at the board offices, Steubenville High School and Harding Stadium fieldhouse as part of a special grand jury investigation into possible criminal activities associated with the August rape of a Weirton girl by two Steubenville High School students.
Telephone messages left for Steubenville City Schools Superintendent Mike McVey were not returned.
Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla and Steubenville Police Chief Bill McCafferty declined comment about the raids and referred questions to the BCI.
Search warrants also were used to obtain electronic evidence from Vestige Limited of Medina. The company's website describes the firm as "electronics evidence experts."
According to the website, the company's vision is "To be the leading provider of computer forensic services for the use in civil litigation, law enforcement, criminal proceedings and corporate policy administration. We are founded on the principals of honesty, integrity, professionalism and the quest to become the undisputed experts on the subject of computer forensics and electronic discovery for the legal community."
A telephone message left on the company's answering machine this morning was not returned.
Attorney General Michael DeWine announced the search warrants in a press release Thursday and later said in a telephone interview with the Herald-Star, "the search warrants are in conjunction with the special grand jury investigation in Steubenville."
"The grand jury is to determine if other crimes were committed in connection with the rape of the 16-year-old Weirton girl last August. Phase one of this case was the juvenile court trial that saw two young men found guilty of rape. Phase two will be the investigation to determine if any other crimes were committed. We are looking at every aspect of this case. I hope people will believe when we're done we did everything we could to find the truth and that justice was done," said DeWine.
Trent Mays, 17, of Bloomingdale and Ma'Lik Richmond, 16, of Steubenville were found delinquent by visiting Judge Tom Lipps of rape in connection with an incident involving an intoxicated underage girl on Aug. 11-12. Mays also was found delinquent of a charge of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material for having a picture of the 16-year-old victim in an outgoing text message on his cell phone.
Immediately after Lipps' decision, DeWine announced the special grand jury would be called to investigate whether other laws were broken in the case.
"The grand jury is a very good investigative tool as well as a very deliberative body," DeWine said. "It will investigate everything that happened before and after the rape."
"Grand jury proceedings are secret so the public should not expect any reports from the grand jury until their work is done. Once the grand jury starts meeting Tuesday it is going to be pretty quiet. I expect the grand jury to meet three or four days a week until the investigation is done," said DeWine.
He said he did not want to speculate how long the grand jury proceedings will take.
DeWine also declined to discuss what the BCI agents were looking for during the search warrant execution Thursday.
And while he would not say who signed the search warrants and ordered documents associated with the search to be sealed, DeWine said it is logical for visiting retired Summit County Judge Patricia Ann Cosgrove to oversee judicial proceedings associated with the special grand jury.
The special grand jury was selected April 15 in a Jefferson County Common Pleas courtroom.
Cosgrove told the members of the grand jury that it requires courage to sit on the grand jury.
"Our goal is simple, let you people of this county do what is right. This is not an agenda (of Dewine). Our agenda is not to indict people. We need to get to the truth and if there is a basis to charge other persons. I have confidence in the grand jury system. Our only interest is the truth, and, along with that, what is fair to the residents of the county. We are not interested in having a circus. We are not interested in violating anyone's rights. We are not interested in harassing and embarrassing people," Assistant Attorney General William F. Schenck told the grand jury members.
Schenck said the grand jury will hear from law enforcement and fellow citizens and he will allow members of the grand jury to ask questions during testimony.
Schenck predicted there may be 30 to 40 witnesses called to testify.

Bruce Jackson has the "Breaking Bad" bug, and he's got it bad.
But Jackson, SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of English, is mourning the end of the AMC television series and its protagonist, Walter White, in his own way: He developed "Breaking Down 'Breaking Bad,'" a graduate seminar for the spring 2014 semester that will analyze the critically acclaimed series' realistic storyline, development and execution.
Although the show ended on Sept. 29, Jackson says there is more to learn from the hit drama. Specifically, he marvels at the approximate 60 hours of a single narrative arc, which he believes is "one of the most spectacular narrative achievements in television."
"What's happening now is something new," Jackson says. "This is not just an interesting TV program. 'Breaking Bad' goes into narrative and human and social complexity as no TV program has before. It is not like 'The Sopranos,' which was episodic; it is not like 'The Wire,' which was segmented. And it is not like 'Homeland,' which has had to direct itself into a new narrative. It is one epic narrative 60 hours long. We've never had that before, in any medium."
Throughout the show's five seasons, White, a former high school chemistry teacher, adopts the name Heisenberg as an alias under which he murders, cheats, and cooks and sells crystal meth. The narrative starts with White's desire to fund his cancer therapy and provide for his struggling family, but soon twists with White's growing hunger for thrill. Though there are other recurring characters, the show does not delve into any subplots and all the characters have a relationship to White; his accomplice, Jesse Pinkman; and their lawyer, Saul Goodman.
Goodman plays a pivotal role, according to Jackson. The unorthodox lawyer aids White and Pinkman in not only keeping their livelihood a secret and laundering money, but also by repeatedly offering a way out of the perilous business through new identities.
Throughout the semester, Jackson plans to have class presentations by guest speakers like representatives from the federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and Jim Milles, a professor and legal ethics expert at the law school.
"The kind of drug trade depicted in the film could not function without lawyers who help the dealers do it; that is, they don't only defend them when they're arrested, but they give them advice on how to be better criminals," Jackson says. "So the series gives an accurate representation of how the illicit drug trade functions, how the DEA works and how some lawyers bend the rules."
And Jackson truly knows how the industry works.
In the summer of 1966, he held a 100-day position as senior consultant for field research on the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice. Specifically, he worked on the Narcotics and Other Dangerous Drugs report, with responsibility for analyzing illicit criminal activity patterns and developing plans for reorganization in police departments, and suggesting changes in drug above laws, along with a wide range of other reforms. Most of the report's suggested reforms, he notes, like decriminalization of drug use and legalizing marijuana, were not only ignored, but cut out of the final report.
Jackson and a partner visited drug users and dealers, rehab organizations, and city and federal police in New York; Houston, San Antonio and Austin, Texas; St. Louis; Los Angeles; and San Francisco. Many of the drug agents he met in New York were subsequently sent to prison themselves for stealing money and drugs from dealers and for taking bribes. He went on a high-speed car chase in Los Angeles and an all-night stakeout in Austin.
"That was the worst night of the job," Jackson recalls. "Eight or nine of us were in a van with all the windows closed and the air conditioning off in Texas in the middle of August. By the time they gave up about 5 a.m., it was incredibly ratty in there."
"Breaking Down 'Breaking Bad'" has been listed by the Department of Visual Studies (VS 500) and cross-listed by Media Study (DMS 606), Theater and Dance (THD 513) and the UB Law School (LAW 692). The only requirement for the 16-student seminar is that students have seen the entire series before enrolling.
Jackson says students must be prepared to analyze the show and its recent adaptations and cultural significance; for example, One World Symphony, a New York City-based opera company, is adapting the "Ozymandias" episode from the final season of "Breaking Bad" as a new opera.
James Agee Professor of American Culture in the Department of English, Jackson is an acclaimed folklorist, ethnographer, documentary filmmaker and photographer. He has published extensively on capital punishment and on American prison conditions — much of this work in collaboration with his wife and colleague Diane Christian, SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor in the Department of English.
The pair founded and co-teach "The Buffalo Film Seminars," an undergraduate class ("Film Directors" ENG 438) in which films are screened and discussed weekly in the Market Arcade Film and Arts Center in downtown buffalo. The series also is open to members of the public who pay theater admission. This spring will be the series' 15th year.
For more information on the "Breaking Bad" graduate seminar, contact Bruce Jackson at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I've been following the Market Arcade blogs/articles and in my mind a collaboration with Daemen College would make sense since they were the recipients of a $4.5 million grant from the Buffalo Billion for their VFX program.
I'm also very happy to read that Shea's is looking to get involved, as I would hate for the prolonged discussion to allow the building to be shuttered so that a developer can come in and buy the building for $1, with tax breaks, and turn it into another group of market rate condos.
So here's a shoutout to all our local college alumni involved in the arts, film and TV industry: We need your help. Whether it be through fundraising -- possibly a true red carpet event at the center -- or a transfer of ownership from the city of Buffalo to UB/Daemen. Whatever can be done so this is not allowed to happen.

"What's happening now is something new," Jackson says. "This is not just an interesting TV program. 'Breaking Bad' goes into narrative and human and social complexity as no TV program has before. ... It is one epic narrative 60 hours long. We've never had that before, in any medium."
Well, ok, let's say that's so. What caught my eye was that 'Breaking Bad' was worth doing a college course to study. In the fall of 2005, MIT began offering a short lived course on 'Sex and the City.' Every popular TV series searches through the complexities of human nature and society. There have probably been others used as course material, and there will be more.

DELAND, Fla. – The Hatter Women's Rowing team raced a very deep and strong Wesleyan University team Saturday, in the second Stetson Sprint, but came up short in four total races.
Stetson raced two 8's against the Cardinals two times over the standard 2,000 meter sprint distance on Lake Beresford.
"The Wesleyan Crews looked really good and took off from the start and did not look back," said Coach Mark Wilson. "They looked really together and did a very good job of controlling the races."
The Hatters' V8I raced first and had a solid start but were a half of a boat back of the Cardinals by the 250 meter mark. The Wesleyan boat took that early lead and continued to over stroke Stetson, ending the race with multiple boat lengths.
"The Hatter Crew is very young and had two first semester walk-on athletes in the V8I boat," Wilson explained. "These athletes gained valuable racing experience and did a very good job with the more experienced rowers."
The V8II boat also raced well but did not have the boat speed or the set to compete with the higher rating crew from Wesleyan out of Middletown, Conn. In the V8II race, the Cardinals had a third boat that also topped the Hatter II boat.
"The situation was very similar in the V8II races as the V8I race, with Wesleyan taking off the line first and not giving up the lead at any point," Said Wilson. "The V8II, similar to the V8I, boat had several first semester walk-on rowers filling in seats and gaining valuable experience on the race course."
The V8II boat was beaten by Wesleyan by a margin of approximately 30 seconds, but was faster in the second race, which Wilson said is a good sign for the athletes.
The Hatters begin conference rowing on Saturday, March 22, when Jacksonville and Drake University visit Lake Beresford for the final home race of the season. Racing at the third Stetson Sprint begins at 9 a.m. and will conclude at 11 a.m. in DeLand.
V8I Race One – 1) Wesleyan 7:25 2) Stetson 8:00
V8II Race One – 1) Wesleyan II 7:37 2) Wesleyan III 7:56 3) Stetson II 8:36

A term coined by Ricky in a Mad TV "I Love Lucy" skit. It pretty much means "heck" as in "what the heck". It just adds the "fu" in there to make it almost sound like the infamous F word so that it wouldnt be bleeped out on television.

Although her reps released two statements on her behalf following the death of her 31-year-old Glee costar earlier this month, Michele, 26, had remained mum. On Monday, she remembered Monteith by sharing a personal snapshot and short message on her Instagram account.
"Thank you all for helping me through this time with your enormous love & support," the actress captioned the oceanside photo. "Cory will forever be in my heart."
The actress, who had been in Vancouver to grieve and make arrangements with Monteith's family, was back in Los Angeles to host a Thursday memorial attended by friends and costars of the actor, held on the Paramount studio lot where Glee's auditorium scenes are filmed.
Monteith died in a Vancouver hotel room after ingesting a lethal mix of heroin and alcohol.
Fans of Monteith may make donations in his name to three charities that were especially important to him: Project Limelight Society, which exposes youth living in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to the arts; Virgin Unite, founded to support entrepreneurial efforts to better the world; and Chrysalis, which helps homeless and low-income individuals find employment.

WATCH: Dolphin Shows Gratitude to the Fishermen Who Rescued It
Posted November 21st, 2013 @ 3:38pm
A group of fisherman off the coast of São Paolo, Brazil, had their Nov. 15 fishing trip transformed into a rescue mission for one adorable creature of the sea. In a dramatic video uploaded to YouTube, the fishermen spot a young dolphin caught in a plastic bag. The anglers use a net to pull the calf onto their boat to help it out. After a few tries, they are finally able to free the dolphin from the plastic bag:

Already with commitments from two of the top prospects in Pennsylvania from the class of 2014 in the fold, the Penn State football team got visits from three more on Monday, and locked up two of them.
As was expected, James Franklin's Nittany Lions received pledges that they hope will bolster their defense down the road by landing Great Valley defensive end Ryan Buchholz and Archbishop Wood linebacker Jake Cooper.
Buchholz is a 6-foot-6, 235-pound defensive end. Cooper is a 6-2, 220-pound linebacker and the teammate of offensive lineman Ryan Bates, who committed to the Lions on Feb. 15, when he, Buchholz and others were in University Park for Penn State's first junior day this recruiting season.
"I'm very excited to say that I am going to get the chance to play college football with my high school teammate and a great friend," Bates said of Cooper's commitment. "The next couple of years are going to be great."
Their commitments bring the number in the Lions' class to six. In addition to Bates from within the state, Penn State also pulled in Whitehall running back Saquon Barkley last week.
Both Buchholz and Cooper were expected to commit while at Penn State. Buchholz, in fact, said he already knew he was going to commit before he made the trip.
"I was up at Penn State for the junior day last Saturday, but my dad was not with me. I loved it, my mom loved it, and I knew I wanted to commit, but my dad wasn't there, and I really hadn't talked to my head coach yet. I wanted to talk to them," said Buchholz, who made the second trip with his father. "Once I talked to them, I knew I was going to commit."
A second team all-southeastern Pennsylvania player in 2013 according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Buchholz said he has been a lifelong Nittany Lion fan whose best friend is the son of former Penn State quarterback Doug Strang. He camped at Penn State twice last summer and attended the Kent State game in the fall before making two trips this month.
Buchholz has 14 scholarship offers, with Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and Pitt next in line had the Nittany Lions' not offered. One of his older brothers wrestles and is a walk-on to the Maryland football team. Another is an offensive lineman at James Madison, and one of his cousins plays football for Duquesne.
Penn State, though, always was his school to beat.
"I've always loved the tradition, the stadium. But, after meeting the players and this new staff, I love them 10 times as much," Buchholz said. "I just feel so comfortable with them. The energy they gave off, they're here to get the best players around the country and win championships and games and to do it for Penn State and for us."
Buchholz had 70 tackles, 11 sacks and batted down five passes as a junior in the Patriots' 4-4 alignment. Buchholz was only 5-6 in seventh grade and playing fullback before hitting a growth - if he puts on more weight, the coaching staff said he could wind up as a defensive tackle.
"My size, my length and my speed I think are the things that stand out about me. I'm 6-6, and I'm pretty fast laterally and vertically. It's fun being able to get after the quarterback and make plays," Buchholz said.
While Buchholz plays on a basketball team that was ranked as high as sixth in the state in the winter, Cooper was the seventh-ranked 220-pound wrestler in the state before breaking a couple of fingers. Cooper actually started out as a boxer at his father's encouragement - in fact, he's named after Jake LaMotta - before finally convincing his dad to let him play football with all the other 7-year-olds in the neighborhood.
He scored 42 touchdowns in eight games in his first season, cementing a future that he felt reached a milepost on Monday.
"Being a linebacker my whole life, you've got to watch Penn State. It's Linebacker U. Sitting down and being able to watch guys like Paul Posluszny, Dan Connor, Sean Lee, you really get inspired by a program like that to go there. I've always wanted to do that since I was a little guy, and to finally say I am going to do that is just tremendous," said Cooper, whose father also was a quarterback at Central State in Ohio before being bitten by the boxing bug. "It's tough to put into words."
Syracuse, Pitt, Virginia, Northwestern, Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt also were high on Cooper's list of schools fighting an uphill battle to get him to consider someone other than Penn State. Duke almost pulled it off - Cooper was expected to commit to Penn State during a visit last Monday but didn't because he had scheduled a visit to the Atlantic Coast Conference school, but it just delayed him a week.
"When you see a place like Duke, you just tend to fall in love with it. Seeing another school and being able to compare with what I thought was my dream school was awesome, and it turns out Penn State is my dream school," Cooper, who works with special needs youngsters at his local YMCA in his free time, said. "I was so excited about it. Giving Coach Franklin and Coach [Brent] Pry was awesome. It was like a building was raised off my back, because the recruiting process is strenuous."
Cooper, who recorded 152 tackles and six sacks as Wood went 13-2 last year, is heading to Penn State with the idea that he'll play inside, but that's not written in stone.
"The coaches did sit me down and said, 'Look, Coop, you're fast enough to play outside. You're very athletic. You're fully capable of playing outside in space, so, if you come in early and you're one of the top three linebackers, then you're going to play one of those positions,'" Cooper said. "Being a versatile guy and being able to play multiple positions and having multiple opportunities is great for me."
Harrisburg Bishop McDevitt running back Andre Robinson also made the trip to Penn State on Monday. Robinson rushed for 2,336 yards and 29 touchdowns this past season, and recruiting websites have the Lions and Ohio State as his two leaders. He's expected to make another trip to Penn State in the near future.
"I had a great time. It was good to get to know Coach Franklin and the rest of the staff better," Robinson said. "I look forward to building a relationship with them."
Cooper and Buchholz already were acquainted and might be joining forces to help sway Robinson to join them.
"You want the best class possible to create the best competition that will make you better, as well as the best team," Cooper said. "So reaching out to these guys is key."

The Stetson men's basketball team returns home on Thursday for an Atlantic Sun Conference contest against visiting North Florida. The Hatters (6-16, 4-6) and the Ospreys (12-12, 6-5) are scheduled to tip-off at 7:00 p.m. at the Edmunds Center.
The Hatters are coming off of a pair of road losses against the top two teams in the league in Mercer and Florida Gulf Coast. The last time Stetson played at home, however, the Hatters came out victorious against USC Upstate and ETSU.
Stetson will be attempting to avenge a loss from earlier this season when UNF scored the first seven points en route to a 74-60 win in Jacksonville back on Jan. 11. Hatters junior Kentwan Smith was one of the lone bright spots in that loss, pouring in a career high 27 points on 9-of-13 shooting from the field.
It was Smith who had the hot hand last weekend when Stetson lost by just three points on a last-second three-pointer by FGCU. The junior recorded his first double-double of the season with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and a career high five steals. Smith was named A-Sun Co-Newcomer of the Week for his performance.
With the loss earlier in the season, Stetson now leads North Florida 10-8 in the all-time series, which dates back to a 95-75 home win for the Hatters back in 1993. The two teams didn't play again until 2006 when Stetson continued to earn victories in seven straight before UNF finally won in 2009. The Ospreys have now won eight of the last 11 meetings, and the last four in a row.
Thursday's game can be watched on HatterVision or listened to on WSBB AM 1230, WTJV AM 1490, and online at MyAM1230.com. Live Stats, the @StetsonMBB Twitter feed, and Hat-Alerts are also available for in-game updates.

Track 3. Monica Dimino
Vocation and Career for the 21st Century Astrology
(Intermediate and Advanced)
Astrology has been used for private consultations for centuries, and we astrologers count on it for so much of our client work. But the work world has changed quite drastically, especially since the major conjunction of Pluto with Uranus in Virgo in the mid-sixties. Now, 50 years later, the workplace hardly ressemble thelandscape that our astrology addressed in the past. What rules computers, the internet, the numerous spinn offs from our high tech world? How do we work now? What does all this do to our professional planning? Using our astrological lens, we will surf this new world and link it to the the signs and houses and timing devices that our zodiac offers. Along with that, individual works issues will be studied. Perhaps it is time for us to develop a new collective philosophy about work in general. In this three day intensive, we will link astrology to vocational outlines, hining this skill for our clients and ourselves.
Track 4.
Alexandra Karacostas
Susan Falk
Richard Smoot
Peer Group Work: OPA's Signature Process
(Practicing Astrologers)
This track offers OPA's trademark and unique learning process where participants go through peer-group work to refine their skills as professional astrologers. Together, we discuss the different issues of our profession, analyze each other's charts, and reflect on possible problematic episodes that have emerged during our practice and client work.
The advantage of this program is that it allows participants to express their own unique style, while at the same time evaluating skills, talents, and techniques in a much more precise manner, all essential in the practice of professional astrology. The development of self-knowledge is an equally important part of the curriculum.
We will explore how we each plan to enhance our professional practice as astrologers, creating a business plan with goals we hope to achieve in the coming year. Participation in this track is a step toward becoming certified in OPA's Certification Program.
This is a comprehensive program for anyone seeking to become a certified professional astrologer while enjoying the benefits of working with peers!
Track 5. Maurice Fernandez
Identifying Spiritual Development and Breakthrough in the Chart
(Intermediate and Advanced)
There is more to life than survival–we live to expand our consciousness and align ourselves with universal laws and principles. In this workshop, Maurice will discuss the dynamics of spiritual development, what spirituality truly means, and how we can identify this process in the chart. Each person has a unique journey for self-realization and the liberation of the soul. We will look at the participant's chart to recognize what their chart reveals about this process.
Track 6. Chris McRae
Unfolding our Evolutionary Journey
(All levels)
Techniques or tools used in this study will bring an understanding of natal chart dynamics; the art and nuances of progressions; cycles that weave their way in and out of our lives; plus an assortment of other techniques gleaned from so many years of star-gazing and application. These are tools I use daily with my clients who invariably have a stressful issue they bring to the consultation that reaches back to the natal chart patterns. Looking at astrological events that were in place at important past events in our lives can add additional insight and understanding many years later. I believe we are on an evolutionary journey that is integrated with our soul pattern. Learn from Chris's 45 years of working with clients and thousands of inquiring students who have passed through her semester-structured course. In this intimate group experience, you will be able to tap this bountiful resource. She is much in demand by clients around the world as well as presentingworkshops and presentations at international conferences in many different countries.
Track 7. Chris Brennan
Zodiacal Releasing: Timing Peaks and Transitions in One's Career and Life Direction
(Intermediate and Advanced)
The topic of this intensive is a Hellenistic time-lord technique known as Zodiacal Releasing, which is used to time peak periods and transitions in a person's career and life direction.
Zodiacal Releasing was only recently rediscovered through a translation of a 2nd century text by an astrologer named Vettius Valens, and it is quickly becoming recognized as the most impressive and powerful timing technique that has survived from the ancient traditions. It was recently integrated into Solar Fire, and it is also available in Sirius and Delphic Oracle.
The technique divides the native's life up into different chapters and subsections, as if the life was a book, and you were able to identify where the chapter breaks are, as well as what some of the most active and important sections are within the book.
We will start with some basic and intermediate Hellenistic techniques for determining planetary condition, since you cannot predict how certain planets will manifest when they are activated until you determine their status in the chart. There is a specific set of considerations known as the conditions of bonification and maltreatment that are used for this purpose in particular, in order to determine if the significations of certain planets are being affirmed or denied, enhanced or restrained, improved or corrupted, etc.
After this initial presentation on planetary condition we will then move into a detailed overview of how to calculate and interpret Zodiacal Releasing periods. Our main emphasis will be learning how to use the technique in order to identify periods of heightened importance and activity within the context of a person's career, as well as how to determine whether the quality of a period will be experienced as more subjectively positive or negative.
Each attendee will receive a handout that contains a detailed readout of their own Zodiacal Releasing periods, which they will use during the course of the intensive in order to chart their own career periods. We will use some of the charts of attendees in order to demonstrate how specific facets of the technique work, and in order to hear firsthand accounts of what certain periods are like when they are activated in a chart.
At the end I would like to conclude with a discussion about the application of Zodiacal Releasing within the context of a consulting setting, and specifically the ethics of what is appropriate or not appropriate to say to a client even if you can determine it with their chart.
Track 8.Sandra Leigh Serio
Predictive Astrology
(Intermediate and Advanced)
Astrology is very good at predicting the types of experiences you will have in a lifetime but the actual events can be more difficult to pinpoint. In this workshop we will synthesize five major factors in determining experiences/events in a person's life.The five factors are the natal promise, secondary progressions, solar arc progressions, transits, and eclipses. It may seem confusing and complicated to put all of these factors together in a birth chart but in this workshop we will breakdown each factor and look at it individually and as part of the collective whole. Astrology is a wonderful tool for alerting you to possible life developments, both traumatic and enriching. This workshop will show you the wonders of the astrological birth chart, its astonishing layers and magical ability to time events. We will use charts from class participants and also those of famous people.
Track 9.Rick Levine
Becoming a Better Astrologer
(All Levels)
This three day workshop combines presentation, discussion, group process and astrodrama to improve the skills of the professional astrologer, to give the consulting astrologer useful tools to apply in his/her client work, and help the serious student facilitate a transition into professional astrology. Participants will be expected to share their birth data, since interactive processes rely on our individual charts. Day 1: Overview. Improving Client Consultations, Theory and Practice. Day 2 and 3: Hands On. Group participant charts used real-time to illustrate principles, including astrodrama, role playing, interactive readings amongst participants and group discussion.

The following article was originally published in the July 2010 issue of Extra! magazine, the monthly publication put out by Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. It's still quite relevant:
This article was originally published as a sidebar with "Reporting Israeli Assault Through Israel's Eyes."
In the aftermath of the deadly Israeli assault on the international flotilla bringing humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, the establishment press has repeatedly distorted the political positions of Hamas, the Islamist movement that governs Gaza.
The New York Times' Ethan Bronner (6/5/10) reported that Hamas "rejects Israel's existence." USA Today's Oren Dorell (6/7/10) wrote that "Hamas has been designated a terrorist group by the United States and European Union and seeks the destruction of Israel." A New York Daily News editorial (6/5/10) referred to Hamas as "an internationally branded terror group dedicated to Israel's destruction."
But the truth about Hamas is much more nuanced than what corporate media repeat. While it is true that the 1988 founding charter of Hamas includes anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and calls for the establishment of an Islamic state in all of historic Palestine, Hamas' leadership has largely abandoned that rhetoric. In the run-up to the 2006 Palestinian legislative elections, Hamas dropped its call for the destruction of Israel from its manifesto (Guardian, 1/12/06).
In recent years, leaders of the Islamist movement have stated that Hamas is ready to make peace with Israel as long as a settlement is based on full sovereignty in the 1967 borders, East Jerusalem as the Palestinian capital and the right of return for Palestinian refugees—positions that have their basis in international law and United Nations resolutions. Israeli daily Ha'aretz (11/9/08) reported that "the Hamas leader in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh, said…his government was willing to accept a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders." And Khaled Meshal, the head of Hamas' political wing, recently said (Charlie Rose Show, 5/28/10) that "Hamas accepts a Palestinian state on the borders of 1967 with its capital Jerusalem and with the right of return."
Since Palestinians went to the polls and gave Hamas an electoral victory, the U.S. corporate media have followed Israel's official line on Hamas, painting it as a monolithic and violent entity in order to reduce international pressure on Israel to negotiate with the Palestinians (Extra!, 9/06).
The double standard of the U.S. press can be seen in the treatment of Israel's stance toward a Palestinian state. The party platform of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party states: "The Government of Israel flatly rejects the establishment of a Palestinian Arab state west of the Jordan river. The Palestinians can run their lives freely in the framework of self-rule, but not as an independent and sovereign state." But how often do you see Likud described as "rejecting the existence of Palestine"?

A different opinion on dairy policy reform
A different opinion on dairy policy reform
Last week's Cooperative Network Dairy Directors and Leadership Conference slides are now posted. We did mention the Minneapolis Federal Reserve bank's economic outlook last week: http://www.hoards.com/blog_economic_outlook801.
Specifically on dairy, if you read and analyzed every slide from every presentation (view them here: http://bit.ly/Hoards_CoopNetwork), you should have a good idea of the current state of the U.S. dairy industry, and what might be coming down the pipeline.
A twist on current proposals
Two presentations that made an impact were those by Associated Milk Producers, Inc., (AMPI) and the Midwest Dairy Coalition (MDC). It should be noted that AMPI is a member of MDC, but MDC answers to six other cooperatives including Bongards' Creameries, Family Dairies USA, First District Association (FDA), Manitowoc Milk Producers Association, Mid-West Dairymen's Company, and the Milwaukee Cooperative Milk Producers. You will notice that Bongards', Family Dairies USA, and Milwaukee Co-op are not NMPF members. The MDC also has two non-dairy co-op members in Cooperative Network and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.
AMPI's presentation was given by CEO Ed Welch. He explained that when he served on the Dairy Industry Advisory Committee (DIAC), the goal was to, "Construct dairy policies that support family farms, not milk volume." While AMPI agrees to explore elimination of the Dairy Product Price Support Program (as does just about everyone), it disagreed that an insurance program paired with an intermittent growth management program was the sole answer.
Instead, they would rather modify the current Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program and provide insurance as an option. The argument is that under MILC more herds are covered because there is a cap on spending.
|Percent of herds fully covered
|Percent of milk eligible
Steve Etka of Midwest Dairy Coalition, said that a hybrid program was a possibility, including one like DIAC Recommendation number 11:
"Continue MILC, with a production cap based on available funds, with two milk - important modifications: (1) use an all income/feed cost margin trigger, and (2) provide an insurance program for production excluded by the cap to provide protection for larger producers."
He also explained that he saw the DIAC as more representative of Congress than the National Milk Producers Federation. Etka argued that the DIAC backgrounds are more diverse and the geographies are varied. He also pointed out that budget hawks will also look for caps.
Showing the disparity of MILC versus the proposed insurance program, an MDC slide states:
If NMPF Margin Program (at the base level) had been in place instead of MILC for 2002 through 2009, a 100-cow herd farm would have received $59,000 less in assistance. A 1,000-cow herd farm would have gained $159,000 assistance. While a 10,000-cow herd farm would have gained $2.665 million. Those numbers are nothing to sneeze at, especially if you are a farmer at the 100-cow level.
Order reform still hazy
The Midwest Dairy Coalition also said that the Federal Milk Marketing Order reform package is not ready for prime time. When two members from academia in the audience were asked what they thought about the order reform piece, the agreed with the DIAC that it was not ready.
But despite all the discussion, the Cooperative Network members in attendance unanimously agreed that the principles of Foundation for the Future should still be the starting point for future discussions.
In the meantime, everyone is waiting for the Congressional Budget Office's score (estimated cost) of the NMPF Foundation for the Future plan. Only once those results, and the exact legislation, are revealed can organizations continue to move forward. And even after that, unless the NMPF plan results in budget savings, the odds of a "standalone" dairy bill are slim. However, Bernie Sanders helped stick the Dairy Economic Loss Assistance Payment Program in Fall 2009.

William's personal timeline, a place to collect and share things from William's life.
Created by wumgoeswambambamkapowhuh on Jan 10, 2010
Last updated: 01/10/10 at 03:07 PM
William H. has no followers yet. Be the first one to follow.
The Treaty of Paris formally ended the American Revolution. In this treaty, there were ten articles, the first saying that they would be free states, not colonies under British rule any longer. The only one of the ten articles that still survives is the first one.
It was the final major land battle of the Revolutionary war. The American and French troops attacked the British forces and surrounded them by land and sea. The Americans used their cannons so much, that the cannons started melting. The leader of the Americans was General George Washington, and the leader of the British was General Cornwallis. It was the surrender of Cornwallis' troops that prompted the British to negotiate an end to the war.
The Battle of Camden was a major victory for the British. Although outnumbered, the British killed wounded and captured a great number of Americans. Following the Battles of Saratoga, and the French entrance into the war, the British decided to attack from the South. There were very few patriots there. They started in Georgia.
The British suffered many losses, but still wanted to attack, for they felt surrender was disgraceful. They faced an army much larger than theirs. The first stage of battle lasted about an hour, and the British suffered about 400 losses. In the end, the British suffered about 1000 losses in the two battles, compared to the American 500 losses.
The first battle of the Battles of Saratoga was the battle of Freeman's Farm. One of the leaders, Daniel Morgan, told his troops to pick off the officers and artillery men, which was extremely efficient.
General George Washington has crossed the Delaware River to safety. When they reached Trenton, they killed 22, wounded 83, and captured 896. This was a big boosting of morale for the colonists
The British win a decisive victory against the Americans in the first major battle of the Revolutionary War. General George Washington retreats and crosses the Delaware River to safety.
The colonists officially declare independence from the British. The famous document was mainly written by Thomas Jefferson. It stated the problems that they had with the British and why they were separating.
It was the bloodiest battle of the Revolutionary war. It is named the battle of Bunker hill, but it mostly took place on Breed's hill. The British come running up the hill, but the colonists don't shoot until they see the whites of their eyes. The British win the battle, but suffered over 1,000 casualties compared to colonist's 450.
It was the first battle of the Revolutionary War. In an attempt to capture gunpowder, Sam Adams, and John Hancock in Lexington, the British sail into Concord. It is here that Paul Revere's fabled midnight ride came into play. The Minutemen are alerted and get into a ready position while gunpowder and ammo are taken away from the shops. The British find no supplies and move on into Lexington. There, the minute men attack. The British retreat to Boston and are attacked by more Minutemen. In the end, the British suffered about three times the number dead or wounded that the colonists did

A St. Francis University football player is accused of raping a Penn State Altoona student, police said.
Kalil Wynn, 18, of Edison, N.J., surrendered Thursday morning to Logan Township police to face charges stemming from an alleged incident Nov. 11 at a Nittany Pointe apartment near Penn State Altoona, police said.
Wynn, a freshman defensive back who is 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighs 170 pounds, was released on a $50,000 unsecured bond by Magisterial District Judge Steven D. Jackson after his arraignment.
According to police, a 19-year-old Penn State Altoona student reported she was raped after she invited Wynn and two other St. Francis students to her apartment in the early morning hours of Nov. 11.
Wynn told investigators the sex was consensual, and the girl told him before he left the apartment that she was going to report him for raping her because she was afraid her boyfriend would find out, according to an affidavit of probable cause.
The woman told police she encountered the three St. Francis men as she was walking home from a party on Gwin Road.
They asked if she knew of any parties and after talking, the woman and male St. Francis students realized they had a mutual friend. The men offered her a ride back to Nittany Pointe and she accepted.
The men seemed nice, so she invited them to her apartment because she thought her roommates would be there, she told police, according to arrest papers.
The woman said she cooked a frozen pizza for the men, gave them something to drink and they were hanging out for about an hour before she decided to go to bed.
One of the woman's roommates was sleeping in her bedroom and one of Wynn's companions fell asleep on the couch while watching television, but Wynn and another male walked back to the woman's bedroom and told her they would "tuck her in," police said.
One of the men even said a bedtime prayer with the woman, but she became concerned when they wouldn't leave, police noted. Eventually, she got the two outside her door and closed it.
Unsure what to do, she sat in the room until one of the men, who police said was Wynn, came into the room with a condom in his hand and forced her to have sex with him.
The woman told police she told Wynn, "no" and said, "Stop, don't do this."
Police said the woman told investigators she intentionally scratched Wynn in an attempt to get DNA evidence. When the alleged assault ended, the three St. Francis students left the apartment. She woke her roommate and then called police.
Wynn could not be reached for comment and it was unclear if he had an attorney as of Thursday night. St. Francis spokeswoman Marie Young said she could only confirm Wynn was a student and couldn't comment on the allegations.
Wynn is due to appear before Jackson on Jan. 10 for a preliminary hearing on seven charges, including five felonies.

Polly Van Doren of WKBW-TV started as news director at Channel 7 about two months ago. She brings 31 years of experience to the ABC affiliate.
As news director, Van Doren will set the tone of coverage at Channel 7, deciding what news to cover and how it will be presented. Van Doren comes to Buffalo determined to raise Eyewitness News from the ratings bottom.
She has shown her on-the-job resiliency elsewhere. First she rallied a newsroom in Springfield, Mo., after the unexpected loss of its director. And then Van Doren bounced back after suffering from depression that she attributed to job stress.
"I came to the [Buffalo] market knowing the challenges," Van Doren said. "I don't go around waiting for the Blessed Mother to appear on a potato chip, but this job called to me. At this point in my career, what good am I if I can't help advance a cause?"
One in five women who experience high stress develop depression, said Kristi P. Smith, a clinical social worker in Williamsville. Smith described the body's reaction to stress.
"When your body is in 'fight or flight,' you get an increase in cortisone levels and in adrenalin," said Smith. "You experience rapid heart rate, tightening of muscles. Your breath quickens, senses become sharper. It keeps you focused, energetic, alert, but when there's too much, it reaches a point that you start getting negative effects – damage to your health, your relationships. If it stays like that for an extended period of time, it depletes your endorphins."
Under the best of conditions the job of news director can be grueling, according to Jill Geisler, a former news director who is now on the faculty of journalism's Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, Fla.
"First, you're in a constant state of high alert. Every newscast is a deadline," said Geisler during a phone interview. "Second, you have instant metrics to measure your success or failure, the ability for third parties to look at the popularity of your performance. Because quality doesn't always equal ratings, an anchor could set her hair on fire and that could get you ratings."
Van Doren was a seasoned television journalist by the time she got to Springfield's KOLR-TV, skilled in many newsroom positions. On Mother's Day weekend in 1998, the death of KOLR news director Steve Snyder in a highway accident put Van Doren in charge.
"What was important to me about the whole process is learning to lead people when they are at their lowest after they lost their news director," Van Doren recalled. "It certainly is not how you would want to begin your first gig as a news director."
Van Doren went on to thrive at KOLR. Yet the skill set that defined her career may have worked against her.
"People like to do what they are good at," is how Geisler explained it. "Every news director used to do something else. They used to be a producer, reporter, photographer and they have a really hard time taking their paws off."
Van Doren recalled entering her seventh year as news director at KOLR believing she was the mother ship.
"I thought I had to do it all," she said. "I felt I had to ensure the happiness of every single person in the newsroom. I took everything so deeply personally that it became impossible to contend with. No one can function that way. You have to learn to delegate, how to switch it off."
In August 2005, Van Doren was hospitalized for depression. The timing, she said, was the ultimate irony.
"Hospitalized for nine days right in the middle of [Hurricane] Katrina, and they restricted how much I could watch television," Van Doren recalled. "Are you kidding me? It's not like I was locked away in a padded cell. I was in a lovely place. I'd get updates from my family, my newsroom."
Van Doren's frankness can be disarming.
"One of the reasons I needed help is because I was like a pharmacological experiment," said Van Doren. "I had a doctor who was [prescription] happy. That's one of the reasons I wanted to talk about my struggle. There are so many people out there who have been pushed on pills. 'You're having a bad day? You're crying? Well, take this.' It's rampant."
Geisler wrote about Van Doren for Poynter in 2006, in "Taking a Time Out: Lessons from News Directors' Medical Leaves." Today, she speaks highly of Van Doren's professional tenacity.
"If you're responsible for the quality of the product, the integrity of the product, the popularity of the product, and then you're responsible for having people do their best work? You really have a recipe for nonstop stress," Geisler said. "Many news directors don't deal with stress well, and that's a shame. Set priorities. You need to be doing that which only you can do. Delegate."
Debriefing is also important, according to Smith, the social worker.
"That's where counseling comes in," said Smith. "Have a safe place to share what is going on. Exercise is also key. Having hobbies and utilizing your support network. Plus the basics like adequate sleep and nutrition.
Van Doren returned to the newsroom in Springfield after one month off. The unwavering support she received from colleagues was the elixir she needed.
"Once I found the room could function fine with a good leader, I have had no recurrence of those issues," she said. "I'm strong, resilient and I'm a survivor, and that serves me well in my role as a news director."
What did she learn from the experience?
"Put things in perspective," she said. "Recognize when you are living, breathing and sleeping your job. You cannot let your job consume you or enslave you."
At WKBW, Van Doren said her initial priority is to improve the graphic look of the news, tighten the on-air presentation and increase production quality.
"I want people to be able to turn on Channel 7 and see that we are accurately reflecting the lives of people who live in the community," Van Doren said. "You'll see crime coverage, but you won't see it titillating. You can cover police blotter all day long, but you have to give it context. I don't like slash and trash and tabloid journalism."
Van Doren, a Missouri native, has an apartment on Buffalo's waterfront; her husband is remaining in Springfield until they find a home in Western New York. She relishes Buffalo's architecture, misses her pets, and keeps in close contact with daughter Kathryn, a registered nurse in Springfield who plans to be a nurse practitioner.
"At no point in my life would I have dreamed I would move to Buffalo, New York," Van Doren said. "The opportunity came out of nowhere."
At the station, Van Doren has worked all shifts to get a picture of the way its newsroom operates. She wants to restore the legacy of Channel 7 – one person at a time.
"I know the needs of the newsroom and the hard-working nature of the people who work here," said Van Doren. "They're scrappy. They're spirited. They have the legacy. Channel 7 still has a proud name in the community. It needs to restore its luster."

Why High Octane Doesn't Matter (Unless It Does)
|Email Print
If your car calls for 87 octane gas, you only need to put in 87 octane. You won't get any benefit by putting in a higher octane and it will only cost you more. If your car calls for premium gas, put in premium gas. You can do damage to your car if you put in a lower octane and you'll understand why in a moment.
Most cars have a four-stroke gasoline engine where the strokes refer to the cylinders moving up and down. One of the strokes is what's known as the compression stroke. The piston compresses a mixture of air and gasoline before it is ignited by a spark plug. Octane rating of gasoline refers to how much that gas and air can be compressed before it spontaneously ignites, the lower the octane the less it can be compressed before igniting. Premium gas can be compressed far more than regular gas.
Why you should only buy what your car needs. If your car calls for 87 octane gas, that means it's going to compress that air/fuel mix to a point where 87 won't ignite on its own. If you pay more and add in 89, you get no benefit because it'll only compress that mix to the 87 level. You get no added benefit because your engine can't take advantage of the higher compression ratio.
Why you shouldn't skimp and buy a lower octane than required. Your engine operates most efficiently when that air/fuel mix explodes when it's supposed to explode. The whole timing of the engine is fouled up when it explodes early and that's what happens if you put regular gas into an engine designed with premium in mind. When 87 gas is compressed to 91 levels, it'll explode prematurely and foul up the timing of the engine (this is known as "knocking").
Why people think higher octane is better. Because it is better! If all other specs are kept equal, an engine with a higher compression ratio will have greater horsepower. However, you need an engine that is operating with the higher compression ratio. If you have an engine compressing for an 87 octane fuel and you put in 91, nothing changes except you're a little bit poorer.
Gas prices have come down the last few months (whew!) but you aren't doing yourself any favors by getting fuel your car isn't designed to use.

karas is one of the best movies and favorite ive seen apart from full metal alchamist and death note they all rule well feel free to leave ur comments and discussions
Whats it about?
Karas is awsome, the movie is great, but the revolation is awsome. love the demons that fade in and out of sight when they choose to. "We stand in awe before that which cannot be seen"
Karas too but the first time i saw it it was a little confusingAnd Shepherds we shall be.For thee, my Lord, for thee.Power hath descended forth from Thy hand,That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.So we shall flow a river forth to theeAnd teeming with souls shall it ever be
Yeah, first tiem i saw it, besides being amazed i was confused abotu a couple parts but liek i said above i watched it 3 times ina short amount of time. anything i didnt get came to me the second time around lol. "Don't doubt the darkness, it can be your enemy as well as your friend."
The first tiem i watched the first one i was amazed. i think i watched it 3 times in about 2 days before i returned the DVD haha. "Don't doubt the darkness, it can be your enemy as well as your friend."
I loved that movie(s)! At first it seemed a little weird but once you got what was going on you just can't wait to see what happened next! and I really loved the graphics too and the way the story turned out amazing. Come to think of it the case is nice too... In life theres no such thing as black and white its all grey.
karas the revelation & the prophecy to good movies can,t wat for the naxt 1
"You know what you have to admire? A Catholic hit man who blesses himself just before he strangles someone."-George Carlin
I have corupted my friends (who where once non Otakus) and when I did so I pushed them into the deep end (so to speak) by having them watch Karas this movie is proven to actually turn people into Otakus (that and Hellsing and Evnngelion)I love the movie for the fact that it has a perfect blend of 3D and 2D anime, along with a beautiful story line and filled with just the right amount of questions that you have to infer yourself. Now, what I wish to know is was there a series where Echo was the Karas before he became the 'evil' pretty boy that his is in prophecy and revilations?
Bottom line for me, thoes who have never wantched Karas, or thoes who want to turn their friends I highly recomend this movie it needs to be added to a person's anime collection.
Anime is life, Creativity is blood
