Most people dont associate Arthritis with distance running, but Sarah Windham is out to change that.
Windham, who was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis when she was 2, is gearing up to run her second Mt. Pleasant Jingle Bell 5K Run/Walk for Arthritis. Founded last year, the event encourages those suffering from all kinds of Arthritis, as well as those who dont, to put bells on their shoes and run/walk the race in support of the Arthritis Foundation.
The second annual event is schedule for 9 a.m. Dec. 8 at Roper St. Francis Mount Pleasant Hospital.
Windham, who was the honoree for the inaugural race, has once again assembled a team to join her in the run and raising awareness/funds for the foundation. Information on team Sarahs Smile as well as the race can be found at http://mpjbr.kintera.org.
This is such a great event, Windham said. It brings out the holiday spirit in everyone. It helps the Arthritis Foundation and it gives children suffering from Arthritis an opportunity to be active. Keeping the joints moving is one of the most important things for someone affected by Arthritis. When it is a child, the worst thing they can do is just sit around and more people need to know that.
The Summerville High School sophomore proves that while there is no cure for Arthritis, it can be managed. Sometimes the disease makes her joints tender and at others it makes them swell, but that hasnt stopped her from becoming a starter on both the Green Wave volleyball and softball teams.
She has also become an advocate for the Arthritis Foundation, a role that garnered her a place in the national spotlight. Earlier this year the TV news magazine America Now, hosted by Leeza Gibbons and Bill Rancic, aired a segment featuring Windham discussing how she copes with Arthritis. The segment can be found at http://www.americanownews.com/story/19535825/juvenile-arthritis-cant-keep-teen-down.
When they interviewed me I thought it was just going to be on the local news but I guess it was brought to that programs attention, Windham said. Its pretty cool and I like their take. It is something else that can get people involved with the cause and it conveys the message that this doesnt have to be something that sets you back from accomplishing your goals.
As of press time, Windham was among the Top 5 fundraisers for this years race. Contributions can be made through the website. Registration for the race is also available online or at 8 a.m. the day of the race.
The course is pretty cool and there are a lot of activities such as a costume contest and face painting both before and after the race, Windham said. Its a lot of fun.

GRANDVILLE – A new blog is keeping Grandville residents up to date on the construction projects underway at Grandville Public Schools this summer.
Construction management firm Owen-Ames-Kimball is sharing the work taking place at the district's schools from the $75.2 million bond, approved by voters in May 2013, in the blog http://bulldogconstruction.blogspot.com. The firm plans to post construction updates on the blog every other week.
This month, construction has included framing, hanging drywall, painting, and other work to the safety vestibules at the elementary schools and renovations to the middle school track.
As part of the bond issue, some school buildings' main entries were redesigned to increase security. Athletic equipment is also being upgraded, including the middle school track and the addition of a new fitness center at the high school.
Other bond-funded improvements include building upgrades and new instructional technology.
The bond approval didn't increase district residents' 3.2-mill tax levy but instead extended if for 25 more years.

COPD; Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. It's getting a lot of attention these days. "We've seen the commercials on television more and more now. You'll see commercials for various agents," says Lee Memorial Health System pulmonary and critical care physician, Dr. Sunil Pammi.
Along with more attention, more treatment options. "Treatment for COPD has really advanced over the last 5 to 10 years. Not in the near future, but in the intermediate future there may be some medications that are being worked on that will work in different ways as well, maybe in tablet form as well."
COPD occurs when airways become damaged. Smoking and other environmental factors can cause airways to lose their elasticity which makes breathing difficult. "We're using inhalers. We don't really cure COPD but we treat it. We offset the symptoms." For now, Dr. Pammi says he's using a variety of treatment options. "The different inhalers we use: inhaled steroids, as well as a combination with bronchodialaters and different types of bronchodialators that work in different ways."
Dr. Pammi also stresses that pulmonary rehabilitation is an intricate part of treating people with COPD because it can help to expand the airways. Therapists can design a special workout routine based on an individual's needs.

Presidency outlines constitutional committee selection criteria
The presidency issued a decree on Wednesday outlining the criteria that will be used to select the 50 members of the committee charged with drawing up amendments to the 2012 Constitution.
The committee is expected to begin work next month. The majority of its members will be drawn from state bodies and unions or bodies that are known not to be dominated by Islamist figures. The presidency has requested that these bodies nominate individuals for committee membership.
The committee members will consist of the following:
- Three from Al Azhar
- Three from the Orthodox Church
- One from the police
- One from the Armed Forces
- Four from the culture sector such as the Writers' Union or the Supreme Council for Culture
- Four from the Labor Federation
- Four from trade unions
- Three from the Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Tourism
- One from the Students Federation
- One from the General Federation of Civil Society Organizations,
- Five from national councils the most important of which are the Supreme Universities Council and the National Council for Human Rights
- Four from youth movements such as Tamarod and the January 25 youth movement (the body that will nominate them is not specified)
- Party figures: Two from Islamist parties, two from liberal parties, one from a leftist party and one from a nationalist party
- 10 public personalities chosen by the Cabinet.
This selection method is different to the method used to nominate members of the constitutional committee put in place by the dissolved People's Assembly and which was formed by Islamist parties who at that time held a parliamentary majority. The committee was criticized for not having amongst its ranks specialized civil society leaders.
The bodies chosen by the presidency this time include a large number of national councils and bodies that have been in direct confrontation with the Muslim Brotherhood. Syndicates with a Brotherhood majority have not been included. There will be a limited number of politicians on the committee.
The committee will examine the amendments drawn up by the legal experts committee also formed by the presidency to amend the suspended 2012 constitution and present a new constitution that will be put to a public referendum in no less than three months.

Beside Freud's Couch, a Chow Named Jofi
Sigmund Freud wasn't only the father of psychoanalysis. He was a pioneer in canine-assisted therapy as well. In his later years, his Chinese chow, Jofi, frequently stayed in his office during sessions.
Freud thought Jofi had a calming effect, particularly on children, and admitted that she helped him assess patients, according to Stanley Coren, a psychologist and dog lover, in 1997 his book, "What Do Dogs Know?" When patients were calm, Jofi sat close enough to be patted, but she moved far across the room from those who were anxious.
Freud noticed that patients would respond more openly and candidly when Jofi was present. And her judgment was unaffected by pretense. As he wrote, "Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate in their object relations."
Health Journal
At the time, Freud shared his Vienna office with his daughter, Anna, and her wolfhound. Both dogs had the run of the office and both would bark loudly whenever the doorbell rang, according to psychiatrist Roy Grinker, who was analyzed by Freud on a fellowship in 1932.
During the therapy, Jofi would lie alongside the couch and Freud would often talk through her, Dr. Grinker wrote. If she scratched to be let out, Freud would say, "Jofi doesn't approve of what you're saying." And if she wanted back in, he'd say, "Jofi has decided to give you another chance."
Once when Dr. Grinker was emoting vigorously, Jofi jumped on top of him and Freud said, "You see, Jofi is so excited that you've been able to discover the source of your anxiety!"

Ben Margot/Associated Press
Ben Margot/Associated Press
SONOMA, Calif. � Clint Bowyer raced to his first victory on a road course, and first with Michael Waltrip Racing, by holding off Kurt Busch at Sonoma.
Bowyer dominated Sunday�s race by leading 70 of the 112 laps. Defending race winner Busch, in an unsponsored car, was all over the bumper of Bowyer�s Toyota late and got a final shot at taking the win away when caution flew with four laps remaining.
Only Busch damaged his car with roughly eight laps to go, and he worried the entire caution period whether his Chevrolet was ruined and had no chance of catching Bowyer through the two-lap overtime sprint to the finish.
Bowyer raced side-by-side with Busch at the green flag, then cleared Busch and pulled away for the win. Bowyer, who left Richard Childress Racing at the end of last season to join MWR, had to walk to Victory Lane to celebrate with his new crew after his car ran out of gas.
�I�m super excited for everybody involved,� Bowyer said. �To switch teams like I did was a huge risk and a chance for me, and it was a chance to showcase my talents.�
It was a strong day all-around for MWR, which got a fourth-place finish from Brian Vickers, who was back to NASCAR after racing last weekend at Le Mans. Martin Truex Jr. led 15 laps and was running in the top-10 until a late-race incident dropped him to 22nd.
�Everybody is just working together,� Bowyer said. �That�s something we are very proud of.�
Tony Stewart passed Busch on the final lap to claim second.
�Got it by default there, to a certain degree,� said Stewart, who was second for the second consecutive week.
Busch wound up third. He was emotional after � Busch missed Pocono earlier this month because he was suspended by NASCAR for verbally abusing a media member � and said he was thrilled to compete for the win in an underfunded, unsponsored Phoenix Racing car.
�It�s an amazing day, when you can do what we did,� Busch said. �I�m a little choked up because A: We were in position. B: I was very considerate to Bowyer, who was going for his first win with the new team. And then C: which is most important, I made a mistake, I got into those tires in turn 11.�
Busch, who has struggled with his temper on and off the track, saw a silver lining in his strong finish.
�If I can get my head on straight here, and after the race, then I could be able to race every weekend and go for victories,� Busch said.
Vickers was fourth for MWR, followed by Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon.
Greg Biffle was seventh, followed by pole-sitter Marcos Ambrose, AJ Allmendinger and Joey Logano.
Most everyone believed the race would be a runaway win for either Ambrose or Gordon, but neither really contended. Ambrose led the first 11 laps before plummeting through the field, and Gordon led one time for 13 laps before running out of gas as he was headed in for a scheduled pit stop.
There were only two cautions � the fewest in track history for the Sprint Cup Series.

Double distillation of pomace from 100% Prosecco grapes. The most fragrant and mature bunches are chosen while still on the vine shoots and they are strictly controlled so that "Pomace" can be distilled fresh. "Pomace" is the remains of the winemaking process and consists of skins, pulp and seeds of the grapes. It's the most aromatic and distinctive part of the grapes.The Double distillation in traditional copper stills is aimed to preserve the original characteristics of the grape varietals in a light, smooth pleasant Grappa.

CBS (12:30 p.m. ET)
Many of the one-hour soaps have two makeup people. This one has five, which suggests the producers don't mind at all that beauty is only skin-deep. Maybe they should consider changing the title. The characters are "young" to be sure, but "restless" seems too tame. How about randy? When the nubile lasses and handsome hunks of the fictional Genoa City aren't having sex, they seem preoccupied with talking or dreaming about it. This is the kind of soap that gets criticized because the grandmothers are cute. But it's not all bouffant hairdos and glistening muscles. The show kicks in with outlandish plots, like Tyrone (handsome Phil Morris), a black law student who goes undercover—as a white man—to challenge a mob boss whose daughter meanwhile is interested in his white alter ego, Robert. Watermelon Man visits The Godfather. Who thinks this stuff up? They deserve a raise. It's great. And Melody Thomas as Nikki and Terry Lester as Jack play musical beds better than anyone on TV. They ooze sex appeal. Unfortunately Lester is leaving. The show is crammed with good-lookers, many of whom are also good actors: Stephanie E. (Amy) Williams, Steven (Andy) Ford, Eileen (Ashley) Davidson, Grant (Shawn) Cramer, Tracey (Lauren) Bregman, Doug (Paul) Davidson and Beth (Traci) Maitland, to name a few. The Young and the Restless is not always a brainteaser, but it's always an eye pleaser.

The simple text tattoo is not often considered part of overt symbolism, even though many of the most famous tattoos depend on it. Take, for example, "Semper Fi", short for the U.S. Marine corp slogan Semper Fidelis or "Always Faithful" in Latin. While the symbolism of a text-based tattoo seems like it should be obvious, this two word slogan carries an immense amount of history, military esprit de corps, and camaraderie with it. Given the vast range of textual sources from which these types of tattoos can come, their variety is enormous. Even in today's burgeoning tattoo culture and the spread of ever larger tattoo pieces, textual tattoos continue to be a staple in the syllabary of tattoos — a choice that likely goes back to the dawn of the first writing systems.
An interesting anecdote from a Chinese writer named Kong Pingzhong, who flourished during the Song Dynasty in 1065, tells of an official in the Bureau of Military Affairs in the Palace Secretariat who was tattooed with lines of poetry. However, we also know that tattoos in China also included penal tattoos, marks of identification, as well as proclamations of loyalty. The parallels with modern military tattooing are uncanny. Particularly in tattoo parlors near military bases, identification tattoos on the upper inside of the arm that may include military serial numbers, religious affiliations, or blood types are still being done. Even commemorative tattoos with only a name, plus birth and death dates, can tell a poignant story of loss.
Military mottos, indeed mottos of all sorts, have made many appearances, from "Death Before Dishonor" to "Carpe Diem." Mariners from the age of tall ships would tattoo a reminder on the fingers of their hands: "hold" on the one hand "fast" on the other hand, something they or their comrades might see as they climbed the rigging. Today's variants on that tattoo include "love" and "hate" or even "rock" and "roll".
However, one of the most regretted tattoos is also a textual tattoo, specifically the name tattoo. While tattoo artists will say that the name tattoo often comes at the beginning and end of relationships, there never seems to be a shortage of demand for the name game. A visit to any tattoo shop on Valentine's day is ample proof. The name of a significant other is one of the few tattoos where I urge people to think twice. While a name tattoo could possibly be relevant forever, they often are not. That said, many people find the name tattoo irresistibly romantic. And even when the romance is gone, the name tattoo is just a part of the past, in the same way that person is part of the past, and not something to be denied. Nevertheless, many a tattoo shop can count the name cover-up tattoo among the constants in the business.
Your choice of font and color may stem naturally from the text you've chosen or you may need to look at font samples in order to decide. Your text may stand alone or it may flow through a scroll or field of flowers. But from puns to prayers, names to poems, and from "911" to "HIV+", the choice of text tattoos seems to be limited only by the imagination.

The San Diego Chargers looked bad to start the game (really bad), but ended up making it a competitive game in the 27-17 loss at Oakland Sunday night.
Both teams sit at 2-3, while Kansas City and Denver are both 5-0, making the AFC West a division of the haves and have-nots.
The Chargers never looked comfortable in the first half and were trailing, 24-3, after three quarters, but a furious fourth-quarter comeback was thwarted thanks to penalties, missed opportunities and turnovers.
Not a whole lot went right for the Bolts, and the loss was a team effort with multiple units contributing to the negative plays.

Eliminate "I'm Bored" With This Secret Tipmandycheney
Whenever I hear the words, "I'm bored" or "Mom, I don't have anything to do" I want to literally chop my ears off. Hate to give that visual, but seriously, I start to quiver, cover my ears and eventually I would love nothing more than complete and utter silence. Even if it means chopping off my ears. I'm pretty patient with a lot of things, but there is a nerve that shouldn't be struck and that's the one.
I remember though, as a kid, going to my mom when I was bored and asking her what I should do and her answer was always the same, read a book or help out with chores. And yet, I always went back to her when I needed something to do. I never wanted to read a book and I certainly didn't want to do chores. I guess I was always hoping the answer would be different. I try to remember that when my son comes to me with the wiggles and he can't seem to find an outlet for them.
In a perfect world I would be able to play with each one of my children, from the the time they woke up to the time they went back to bed. But that's not realistic. My kids go on school break tomorrow for a month and we have a lot going on, but there will be those moments where I know those dreaded words, "Mom, I'm bored," will come to haunt me. So, I'm gearing up for it.
A friend of mine saved me one day by sharing one of her mothering secrets. (Aren't those the best kind of friends? I love mothering secrets!) It changed the way I do things with my kids when they're home all day, they need my attention and I need to get things done. The best part is, it's way too easy. And I'm going to share it with you! You just won the boredom lottery!
Here's the secret boredom buster…
We call it the "Jar Game."
1. Grab a jar
2. Cut up little strips of paper
3. Write down all the things that need to be done around the house that day on the little strips of paper. (Empty garbage on one, make bed on another, etc…)
4. Write down a few surprises (eat a cookie, 30 minutes of free time, puzzle, read a book, etc…)
5. Add some exercises too (run up and down the stairs 20 times, do 10 push-ups, etc…)
6. Have them take turns pulling a piece of paper.
7. Watch them do their jobs faster than normal in anticipation that the next paper pulled will be a surprise! It works wonders, I promise. And when they pull the 30-minutes free time slip, that's your cue to go take a shower or catch up on emails.
That's how we're going to combat boredom at our house on Spring Break, and also that will be my new response every other day when I hear those dreaded "I'm bored," words. I will just say…"Go pick something out of the jar!" They know they run the risk of doing chores, but the surprises and rewards outweigh the risk.
What do you do when your kids are bored?

HONOLULU (AP) - Hawaii has a new coordinator to tackle homelessness in the islands.
Gov. Neil Abercrombie on Friday announced Colin Kippen as his coordinator on homelessness.
Kippen replaces Marc Alexander, who stepped down for personal reasons in January after just one year on the job. Former vicar general of the Catholic Church in Hawaii, Alexander had left the priesthood to join the administration.
The 62-year-old Kippen is an attorney who served as the National Indian Association executive director in Washington, D.C., and was previously the executive director of the Native Hawaiian Education Council.
Abercrombie on Friday also signed legislation establishing an interagency homelessness council.

Bodog Fight Middleweight Champion, Trevor Prangley, has something to prove at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California on Friday, November 16.
"I've been telling everyone that I'm one of the best 185-pound fighters in the world, and winning this competition will show people I'm not just talking sh*t."
The competition the confident South African is referring to is the four-man, single-elimination middleweight tournament that will headline Strikeforce: Four Men Enter, One Man Survives, presented by Bodog Fight.
The winner of the first-ever sanctioned mixed martial arts tournament in the state of California will potentially be awarded the opportunity to challenge Strikeforce World Middleweight Champion, Frank Shamrock.
That very well could be Prangley, who trains at the American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose and is sure to be buoyed by the pro-AKA crowd.
"Of course, I hope they cheer for me, although I usually only hear the crowd when I walk out," says Prangley. "When I'm in the ring I'm mainly focused on what my corner is telling me. But the crowd can give you a lift, and most fighters feed off the energy."
The crowd may help, but Prangley (16-4) will have his hands full with tough opponents to be determined at a random draw during the weigh-in. In order to emerge victorious, the 35-year-old will have to get past two of the following three fighters: Jorge Santiago (14-7), Yuki Sasaki (21-13-1), and Falaniko "Niko" Vitale (24-7).
"Santiago is the most technically sound of the three," says Prangley. "He's going to be difficult to beat. I don't know too much about Sasaki, but he's had a lot of fights and is very experienced. Vitale, who is also experienced, is a great athlete. He's explosive and isn't afraid to bang."
Each bout will consist of two, five-minute rounds, and take place over the course of a 10-bout fight card. If a draw is declared following the second round of a match-up, an overtime round will determine a victor.
Prangley, who's fifth straight victory was a second round stoppage of Japan's Yuki Kondo at Bodog Fight: New Jersey on July 14th, admits stamina will play a factor in the tournament, but says he is more than ready to go the distance.
"I've fought twice in one night before," says Prangley, referring to October 26, 2002, when he beat Brett Shafer and Manny Valera on the same night in Mexico.
"I won't lie; it isn't easy, especially if you take a couple of kicks to the legs or shots during the first fight. Your body can stiffen up going into the next fight. As tough as it is physically, I think the real test is mental. Physically most fighters can do it, but not everyone has the mental toughness to do it. I like to test myself. That's why I fight, to see just how good I can be. I haven't yet reached the top of my ability, and I want to know how far I can push myself, both mentally and physically. When I retire I don't want to have any regrets, or wonder if I could have done this or that."
So, does the Bodog Fighter have a prediction for November 16?
"The other guys are all good, but I'm picking myself to win."

My Story About Lamb Koftas
L is for Lamb Koftas!!! L is for Lamb
Monty and Granny were outside in the garden planting some flowers.
All of a sudden, Monty could smell a delicious smell coming from over the fence. He peeked through a hole and could see his neighbour was cooking a barbecue.
'Granny', shouted Monty.
'I can see burgers on the barbecue'
Granny looked over the fence.
'Why Yes, Monty…… would you like to have a barbecue today?'
'Yes please Granny', said Monty, jumping up and down…VERY excited.
'Wonderful….And I know the perfect thing to make'
said Granny
What's that?' asked Monty
'We're going to make my special lamb koftas' said Granny
'What's a Kofta' asked Monty
'I'll show you' said Granny, with a big smile on her face.
And she walked to the kitchen, to start making her famous Lamb Koftas
Monty's Lamb Koftas
by Monty The Monkey,
Lamb is such an awesome meat – there are so many different ways you can eat it, for example roast leg or shoulder of lamb, in a stew or casserole, lamb cutlets or as mince in a shepherd's pie, moussaka or in burgers or lamb koftas.
Lamb Koftas are delicious pieces of lamb mince, mixed with spices.
This recipe involves some knife work, using heat (the grill/griddle pan or bbq) and other kitchen gadgets so please make sure an adult handles these parts of the recipe! Always be careful in the kitchen but remember to have fun too!
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 to 20 minutes
Serves 8 hungry monkeys
500g lamb mince
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
Fresh mint
Olive oil for brushing
Natural yogurt
Salt & pepper
1. Peel and crush the garlic cloves.
2. Chop the mint leaves.
3. Place the mince in a large bowl and add the garlic, cumin, coriander and one tablespoon of chopped mint leaves. Add the salt and pepper. Mix all the ingredients together until well blended.
4. Divide the mixture into 8 balls, then roll each ball on a chopping board with a cupped hand to turn them into an oval shape.
5. Thread onto 4 metal skewers and brush with oil. You can use wooden skewers but make sure to soak them in water first so they don't burn when cooking.
Make sure an adult does this bit.
6. Make the minty yogurt dip:
i) cut a lemon in half and place it on top of a lemon juicer and press down. Pour out two teaspoons of juice into a bowl.
Make sure an adult does this bit.
ii) add the yogurt and the chopped mint and mix well together.
7. Cooking: You can either cook under a pre-heated grill (on high) or on a griddle pan or barbecue for 3-4 mins each side. Don't turn until they are well sealed or the meat will stick to the grill or pan. Season if you want, and set aside.
Make sure an adult does this bit.
8. Serve the koftas with the yogurt and mint dip and some flat breads.
9. Tuck in and enjoy!

Oligopoly in Segmented Markets
Shmuel Ben-Zvi
Elhanan Helpman
Harvard University - Department of Economics; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR)
July 1988
NBER Working Paper No. w2665
We propose a new solution concept for a game among oligopolists that simultaneously compete in several segmented markets. The motivation for this solution comes from international trade, but it also has applications in other areas. It is based on a three-stage extension of the two-stage Kreps-Scheinkman game. We show that two-way trade is not an equilibrium outcome and that there exist bounds on possible cross-market priced differentials that are defined by transport costs. Prices are the same when transport costs are zero. In fact, in the limiting case of zero transport costs the equilibrium coincides with a Cournot equilibrium in a single integrated market. In the presence of transport coats there nay exist multiple equilibria.

JERUSALEM, Israel - Turkish passengers who sailed with the Viva Palestina 5 humanitarian aid ship, which recently docked at the Egyptian port of al-Arish, visited like-minded jihadists in Gaza, Israel's YNet news reported on Tuesday.
Pictures on YNet's website showed the Turkish visitors, rocket launchers and rifles in hand, posing next to members of Islamic Jihad.
The al-Quds Brigades, the "military wing" of Islamic Jihad, featured photos of two of the Turks wearing the Brigades' uniforms.
According to the report, one of the visitors said Islamic Jihad gunmen are "a source of pride for all decent people in the Arab and Muslim world" as they fight at "the forefront of the struggle against the Zionists."
"I am proud to be here with you who have sacrificed so much for the sake of the Muslim nation. All of the Turkish people, as well as the Arabs and all Muslims, pray for your victory, support you and strengthen you," he said.
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Recep Erdogan continues to demand a formal apology and remuneration from Israel for families of the nine Turkish activists killed aboard the Mavi Marmara on May 31.
The confrontation took place aboard the Turkish-owned flagship attempting to break Israel's naval blockade of the Gaza Strip.
About 40 pro-Palestinian activists attacked Israeli naval commandos who boarded the ship after its captain refused to sail to Israel's Ashdod port to unload its cargo for land transport to Gaza.
The soldiers were given permission to use their handguns when it became evident their lives were in danger.
Like Hamas, the Palestinian faction controlling the Gaza Strip, Islamic Jihad is dedicated to Israel's destruction.
Israel, the U.S., E.U., U.K., Japan, Canada and Australia have designated Islamic Jihad as a terrorist entity.
Likewise, IHH, the Turkish humanitarian aid organization, has maintained close contact with Islamic terror groups such as Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Cake Decorating
|3 or more Tiers
|Fondant, Gum Paste, Buttercream
|Classic, Modern, Elegant, Colorful, Traditional
Share a little about the materials, processes and techniques used to create this cake: Everything on this cake is made from scratch. I made my own gum paste for the flowers and fondant for the cake. I used swiss meringue buttercream for the icing and filling and used my special secret flavor to make it heavenly. I created 13 or more layers of ruffles for the two lower tiers and I crimped the top tier cake outer top edge before adorning the top with purple peonies and ombr cabbage roses.
What are you most proud of? The fact that I get to do something I love and make someone's day or event even better!!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Plan ahead. Make the flowers days in advance. Bake the cakes the day before. Chill the cakes before leveling & torting the cakes. If using simple flavor syrup add to the cake before you fill and ice cakes. Crumb coat and ice your cakes and have them smooth and edges sharp and clean. Return cake to the frig to set the buttercream. Once the BC is set roll out your fondant and cover the cake trim edges ad smooth out removing any air bubbles. Return to chiller and the next morning it is ready to decorate. Have all your fondant premade 24 hours in advance and ready to go. Take the cake out of the chiller and let it sit for 20-30 minutes and wipe off condensation if any. Start to roll out varying sizes of strips of fondant to a #6 or #7 on the Kitchen Aid Pasta roller and using a firm foam mat ruffle edges with a ball tool or bottom of a cel pin by pulling halfway on fondant onto the foam pad. Attach with water or gum glue by applying a very small amout to the back edge of the ruffle adhering it to the inverted cake. Continue until the cake is completely covered in as many ruffles as you want. Let the ruffles rest30 minutes to 1 hour inverted before flipping the cake right side up or the ruffles will fall over. I stack dowel and stack my cakes and add the gum paste flowers the way I like them and the cake is ready to be delivered.
So lovely,

Reducing Juvenile Violence through Prevention, Intervention, and Law Enforcement Practices
By R. Rita Dorsey, Ph.D., Executive Commander for Community Policing and Executive Director of the Juvenile Violence Abatement Project, Division of Police Services, Memphis, Tennessee
Memphis's MottoWe build children to thrive and survive by teaching life-affirming principles, and we do it one child at a time, one community at a time.
Under the direction of city leaders, the Memphis Police Department began consolidating its antiviolence programs for youth under the oversight of the Juvenile Violence Abatement Project (JVAP). The project takes advantage of the agency's community policing resources and enlists the help of parents, schools, and community organizations of all types to reach and teach local youth. JVAP's approach to youth violence comprises three components:
Prevention. This component addresses youth violence by attempting to repress delinquency before youth have an opportunity to commit illegal acts or advance to more serious offenses. The program addresses known risk factors for crime, violence, and substance abuse.
Intervention. This component addresses youth who have already been in contact with the justice system. It is designed to give them information and skills to prepare them to function appropriately in society.
Law enforcement. The last component of law enforcement relies on proven practices designed to discipline and hold accountable those youth who persist in exhibiting unacceptable behavior.
Community Action UnitsCommissioned police officers direct the work of the program through the Community Action Units, known as CoActs, in 15 substations across Memphis. Officers in each CoAct work with schools, parents, and others in that part of the city to create, develop, and implement outreach programs for youth that can be measured and replicated as needed.
In the Memphis Police Department's Westwood CoAct, for instance, officers and other partners offer middle-school students opportunities for mentoring and positive leisure activities. The unit sustains three youth mentoring programs: Lot (Leaders of Tomorrow), Step (Striving toward Excellence and Promoting Education Program), and Girls (Guidance, Involvement, Responsibility, Leadership, Success). These programs have been around for several years; but under JVAP their capacity has grown, especially in evaluation. In 2003 nearly 100 students participated in the three programs in Westwood.
The overall goal of the various programs is to decrease the numbers of youth violence and criminal acts by actively involving neighborhood youth in positive activities, mentoring, crime prevention and awareness, and positive educational and leisure activities. The youth are therefore provided with special programming which enhances personal growth and promotes future self-sufficiency. Youth are continually encouraged to become involved in their communities and to make good choices in life.
Students who maintained average grades of C or better with satisfactory conduct grades and who actively participated in the different programs are allowed to join their peers on an end-of-the-school-year field trip. Last year the destination was Washington, D.C. The field trip serves as a reward for students who successfully completed program goals. Students who did not pass or failed in a particular subject area were provided with tutoring opportunities and were encouraged to attend summer school. Police officers maintained contact with these students during the summer months and provided necessary follow-up and personal encouragement.
Students were also surveyed to determine their opinions about the activities they had engaged in over the school year. The survey instrument revealed that they were satisfied with whichever of the three programs they participated in; in fact, more than 90 percent of the program participants stated that the program was important and beneficial to them. When asked about their favorite aspect of the program, some of the students had this to say:
Citywide Initiatives
Teen Listen Line: Beginning operations in December 2002, the teen listen line features a staff of trained call takers who listen to the problems of young callers (and parents) and provide appropriate referrals to local agencies that can provide direct services if needed.
Truancy Sweeps: Periodic truancy sweeps are conducted by CoAct officers as a result of a partnership developed with the Memphis Board of Education to reduce the number of truant students. Research has indicated that truancy has been clearly identified as one of the early warning signs of students headed for potential delinquent activity, social isolation, or educational failure by way of suspension, expulsion, or dropping out.
Juvenile Police Academy: The Memphis Police Department has instituted a juvenile police academy that has been patterned after the citizen police academies conducted in several large cities. Middle-school students are selected to participate in a nine-week training program that teaches them about law enforcement and heightens their sense of civic pride and responsibility. The juvenile police academy curriculum includes such topics as department organization, structure and history, juvenile issues, home safety, domestic violence, school truancy, and other topics germane to youth and their exposure to local law enforcement. Graduates of the program are dubbed youth ambassadors for the Memphis Police Department. These young ambassadors engage in civic-oriented activities designed to expose the youth to the concepts of integrity, decency, respect, and personal responsibility. The children participate in workshops such as How to Be a Responsible Young Citizen; volunteer at local senior citizen homes; and learn how to report on gang graffiti, gang activity, or other undesirable conditions in their neighborhood.
Partnerships have been forged with local faith-based and community service organizations. In-house expertise and resources are available to enhance existing youth programs. Certain staff provide professional growth and development training to youth service providers. Annual, large-scale antiviolence and anticrime events are held throughout the city.
The project's activities are based on criminological theories related to prevention and intervention strategies for youth as presented by criminal justice scholars. These researchers contend that for prevention to be effective, it must address known risk factors for crime, violence, and substance abuse. JVAP aims to address these factors as they are identified in the groups it serves.
In addition, the project employs social development strategies as a prevention approach for reducing identified risk factors by enhancing known protective factors. Such factors have been derived from major criminological theories, including social learning theory, differential association, and social control theory. Such strategies specify how protective factors can be introduced to help protect children exposed to the many risks of their environment.
The goals and mission of the Memphis Juvenile Violence Abatement Project are grounded in best practices, criminological theories, and a firm commitment from the city and the police department. It is the project's overriding goal to reduce the amount of violence experienced by Memphis youth through innovative, responsive, and effective methods of outreach. Memphis's motto is, "We build children to thrive and survive by teaching life-affirming principles, and we do it one child at a time, one community at a time."

Two scientists will present their research about White Lake's health and fish populations Wednesday evening.
Richard Rediske and Carl Ruetz, both of the Grand Valley State University's Annis Water Resources Institute, will give presentations about White Lake's habitat, fish and bottom-dwelling creatures. The program, hosted by the White Lake Public Advisory Council, will run from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at the White Lake Community Library, 3900 White Lake, Whitehall.
White Lake was listed as a Great Lakes Area of Concern in 1985 because pollution endangered aquatic life. The White Lake Public Advisory Council formed in 1992 to educate the public and improve the lake's water quality.
Since 1995, the council has worked with state and federal authorities to eliminate eight "beneficial use impairments," or problems that keep residents and visitors from using the lake the way they would a cleaner body of water.
The restriction on dredging was removed in September because of improved conditions. Restrictions on fish and wildlife consumption, drinking water restrictions, loss of fish and wildlife habitat, degraded fish and wildlife populations, degraded populations of bottom-dwelling organisms, excessive algae growth and aesthetic degradation are still listed as problems.

Ex-jury official in Pa. accused of targeting foes
BUTLER -- A former Butler County jury commissioner in western Pennsylvania has been accused of targeting opponents in the jury selection process, including two officials who voted to eliminate his job to save money.
Jon Galante, 28, was charged with four counts of interfering with the selection of jurors. He allegedly sent jury questionnaires illegally to two county commissioners and two other people who supported the county commission's 2-1 vote last spring to eliminate Galante's position, as well as another jury commissioner's.
Potential jurors are supposed to be randomly selected, and jury commissioners are responsible for maintaining the jury list. The questionnaires are sent; recipients return them; and some or all of the respondents are subsequently summoned for jury duty.
A complaint filed Thursday alleges Galante was angry his job was being cut and was "trying to show them anybody could screw with the system." The complaint said Clinton Bonetti, the other jury commissioner who lost his job, told investigators he was present when Galante accessed the computer to send out the questionnaires.
Galante has a pretrial hearing March 3.
Court records say Galante confessed to investigators that he manually entered the system to ensure jury duty questionnaires were sent in October to county Commissioners A. Dale Pinkerton and Bill McCarrier; county solicitor Mike English, who advised the cuts would be legal and court administrators could assume the duties; and Mark Krenitsky, a resident who spoke at public meetings in favor of cutting the jobs.
County Commissioner Jim Eckstein, who voted against the cuts, didn't get a jury questionnaire.
Galante was the Republican jury commissioner; Bonetti was his Democratic counterpart.

Session 105 - Pre-Main Sequence Binaries and Disks.
Display session, Thursday, January 18
North Banquet Hall, Convention Center
Star formation occurs by gravitational collapse of clumps of dense, cold gas and dust, embedded with magnetic fields. All current theories predict the formation of a disk early in the gravitatinal collapse phase, under various conditions. Mid-IR polarimetric studies found mostly toroidal disk magnetic fields, whereas Extreme-IR polarimetric studies found mostly poloidal disk magnetic fields. Observations (compiled here) show that when disks are in relative isolation they generally have an E-vector perpendicular to the disk elongation, and that when disks have a gaseous companion object nearby they generally have an E-vector parallel to the disk elongation. Using the usual interpretation, with the B-vector perpendicular to the E-vector (model of Davis-Greenstein), we find that when disks are in relative isolation, they generally have a toroidal magnetic field (B parallel to the disk elongation), and that when disks have a a gaseous companion objetc nearby they generally have a poloidal magnetic field (B perpendicular to the disk elongation). A possible interpretation could be that, on average, an accompanying source can delay or prolong the life of the envelope/cocoon of the primary disk through tidal interaction, ie the gravitational attraction by the companion object on the gas originally infalling onto the primary object may be to cause a drifting of the infalling gas away from the primary object at first. It may thus take a longer time for this infalling gas to finally arrive on the primary object, owing to the moving disturbance of the orbiting companion object, as compared to the lifetime of an envelope for an isolated disk.

MILTON - After a three-year drought, Midd-West baseball is headed back to districts when a 6-3 win over Heartland Conference opponent Milton on Tuesday propelled the Mustangs into the tournament.
Midd-West trailed the Panthers most of the game, but a big four-run seventh inning gave the Mustangs the victory.
Coach Ron Flood gave his pitchers Austin Hockenbrock and Alex Lash a lot of credit.
"Lash was throwing a good ball game, he only gave up three runs," Flood said.
Lash threw five strikeouts until he was taken out in the late innings for Hockenbrock, who threw four strikeouts of his own to hold off the Panthers.
Flood also gave credit to Luke Zimmerman, who had three doubles and two RBIs in his 3-for-4 outing.
Midd-West (10-8) plays host to Troy today.
Lancaster Country Day 6, Greenwood 4
MILLERSTOWN - Greenwood's Brady Stover had an outstanding day from the mound Tuesday, striking out 13 Lancaster Country Day batters in his seven innings of work. However, the Wildcats had trouble manufacturing the necessary runs, and fell to the Tri-Valley League opponent, 6-4.
"Brady had complete control of the game, it's just a shame we couldn't produce some runs early," Greenwood coach Mark Sherman said. "It's the best outing he's had all season."
Greenwood did get four runs in the bottom of the sixth, with one RBI apiece from Josh Noll and Noah Wright accounting for two of the four, but that was the Wildcats' only inning to light up the scoreboard.
The Wildcats have their last game of the season Thursday when they play host to Newport.
Line Mountain 14, Juniata 4 (6 innings)
HERNDON - Juniata's struggles with recording the third out this season continued Tuesday as the Indians fell 14-4 to Tri-Valley League foe Line Mountain in six innings.
Juniata got on the board first with two runs in the opening frame and it looked like the visitors would have a shutdown inning as starting pitcher Chad Eberle retired the first two hitters, but Line Mountain went on to score three two-out runs to take the one run lead.
"That's just the way the season has gone for us," Juniata coach Nick Beward said. "We couldn't get the third out."
Despite the early one-run deficit, Beward's team battled to within two runs in the fifth behind hits by Stephen Zearfaus and Austin Berry but the Eagles came back in the home half of the fifth and turned it up a notch. After allowing the first two runners to reach, Beward made a pitching change - the adjustment backfired though and the Eagles went on to score seven runs, putting the game out of reach.
"We battled up until the fifth inning," Beward said. "We gave ourselves a chance to win but we just didn't come through."
Juniata (4-14, 4-10) hosts Halifax Thursday.
Halifax 3, East Juniata 2
HALIFAX - A few close plays can make all the difference in a game of baseball, and East Juniata faced the harsh end of this reality Tuesday when the Tigers lost to Tri-Valley League opponent Halifax, 3-2.
In the second inning, East Juniata had two runners called out at home, and that could have been the difference in the game. The inning started strong with three-straight singles from the Tigers, but although they kept putting the ball in play, the outs at home proved harmful.
"That pretty much did us in. We scored another one in the fourth inning, but that was the tough inning," East Juniata coach Tim Brubaker said.
Starting pitcher Nick Lorenz threw 11 strikeouts, but also gave up six walks as he took the loss. Dillon Leonard went 2-for-3 with an RBI.
East Juniata (13-4, 11-3) has two games remaining in the regular season, including today's game at home against Newport.
Juniata 16, Line Mountain 1 (4 innings)
MIFFLINTOWN - Juniata made short work of Tri-Valley League opponent Line Mountain Tuesday on the softball diamond.
In four innings, the Indians put up 16 runs on as many hits and pitcher Brinley Irvin only allowed the Eagles on base three times in her one-hit effort as the Indians buried Line Mountain, 16-1.
Offensively Juniata was unstoppable, as multiple RBIs from Kristen Pray, Irvin, Micheh Horning, Hali Weiand and Summer Swab put the Indians across home plate time and again.
In addition to her three RBIs, Pray pulled through with a home run and triple in her 2-for-2 evening at the plate.
"They're not giving up and they're fighting hard. I'm proud of them," Juniata coach Brian Sheaffer said, pointing out that in the past two games his team has been hitting the ball exceptionally well.
Today Juniata (7-7, 6-5) has a chance to tie with Upper Dauphin for the TVL title when the Indians host the Trojans for the conclusion of a game suspended earlier in the season. This game will pick up in the fifth inning at 4:30 p.m. Afterwards, Juniata will host East Juniata with a 5:30 p.m. start time.
Halifax 15, East Juniata 5 (5 innings)
COCOLAMUS - East Juniata fought back hard against Halifax's lead Tuesday by scoring runs in the last three innings of the Tri-Valley League softball game, but ultimately the Tigers still fell short in the 15-5 loss.
"Our girls stayed in it, they kept their positive momentum throughout and it came through with getting some runs in the last innings," East Juniata coach Joe Schilling said.
East Juniata had RBIs from Lydia Hunter, Sam Lash and Lauren Maguire in the team's five-hit effort, but it was all overshadowed by a grand slam shot by Halifax's Chelsea Konyar in the top of the third.
"I've never seen a ball hit that far. They (Halifax) were hitting the ball very far tonight," Schilling said.
Today East Juniata (3-14) travels to Juniata at 5:30 p.m. for the conclusion of the Tigers' season.

West Virginia football coach Dana Holgorsen may watch a football game or two Saturday, but he said only as a fan.
The Mountaineers, 7-3 overall and 3-2 in the Big East Conference, find themselves in the heat of a six-team race for the conference crown. Cincinnati, which has only one loss, is the the driver's seat. But five teams are breathing down the Bearcats' neck in the season's last three weeks.
Since 2004, a team with two losses has won the Big East three times, and in each of those years, multiple teams claimed a share of the crown. Last year, three teams all had two losses.
"I haven't experienced that before," Holgorsen said. "We've talked about it all year, and we talked about it at the Big East media meetings, too. You pick one through eight, you could probably flip it, and it's come out that way for the past 10 years."
Four teams Rutgers, WVU, Louisville and Pitt are feature 3-2 records. WVU has defeated Rutgers, but lost to Louisville. Pitt defeated Louisville last week, but lost to Rutgers. Louisville topped West Virginia, but lost to Rutgers.
Cincinnati, which lost to WVU last weekend, still has games remaining at Rutgers and Syracuse before closing out the season with Connecticut. Throw a 2-2 Connecticut team into the mix, which still has home games left with Louisville and Rutgers and a road trip to Cincinnati, and the possible scenarios become mind-boggling.
"It's a competitive conference," Holgorsen said. "Everybody wants to win."
Rutgers coach Greg Schiano said looking ahead or scoreboard watching could prove to be a fatal mistake.
"That's when you get into trouble," he said. "We have a one-game season. We are going to try to be 1-0 in the Cincinnati season. But our players don't live in a cave. They know what's at stake."
What's at stake is a BCS berth and a major payoff for the school that gets to represent the Big East against the elite of another conference.
"I'm not going to be dissecting it or cheering loudly or any of that," Holgorsen said. "You only worry about what you can control. We can only control playing our next game and the next. The only way that will work out is if we win the next two games. If we win the next two games, and we're in position, that's great. If we don't win, it's not going to matter."
The Mountaineers have two weeks to prepare for their next opponent, arch-rival Pitt. Kickoff for the Nov. 25 game in Morgantown has been set at 7 p.m,. and the game will be televised by ESPN. It is the final home game for WVU, which will conclude its season the following Friday at South Florida.
It is also potentially the final meeting in the storied rivalry, as WVU has announced it will play in the Big 12 next season, and Pitt has announced it will be leaving the Big East in the coming months to join the Atlantic Coast Conference.
WVU athletic director Oliver Luck has stated he will try to keep the century-long series going.

Stratos had a different experience than Jeff Pearlman during Peter Vecsey's Hall of Fame speech:
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I wouldn't have had an issue with Jeff's comments if they were based on the FACTS. He probably considers himself a serious journalist. A serious journalist doesn't make stuff up.
Jeff implies that Jordan left during Vecsey's speech. Absolutely NOT TRUE. Yeah, Jordan left before Vecsey's speech, but we don't know why. Jeff also seemed to have issues with Vecsey "calling out" Tiny and Calvin. Jeff claimed that he could see them squirming.....complete and utter nonsense. If that were the case, Tiny would not have come over and spent like a half an hour with Vecsey and his family after the dinner, and Calvin wouldn't have come over to say hello either. I know, I was right there. So Tiny Archibald is fine with it. And Calvin Murphy is fine with it.
But Jeff Pearlman has some beef......that's ridiculous. C'mon man. Let's be real here. Furthermore, who else is standing up for the people that have been neglected. The GREAT players and contributors to the game that have been forgotten. NOBODY. Doing something like that, especially during your award speech is honorable. Clearly, Jeff is unable to to recognize what HONORABLE is. Anyway.......Vecsey is a big boy and doesn't need anyone standing up for him.
But the TRUTH is the TRUTH. Just call it like it is Jeff. Don't exaggerate. When Vecsey criticizes, he bases what he has to say on the facts, irrespective of his personal relationship with the individual(s) at hand. Additionally, people read what he has to say, and have been doing so in BIG numbers for over 30 years. He is unparalleled as an NBA journalist., I hear all these "reporters" come up with bogus trade rumors and other silly stories, and I just laugh.
And in regard to his speech, clearly it wasn't the typical emotional speech that we are all accustomed to hearing and appreciating….especially after hearing Doug Collins speak. I am not even a Doug Collins fan, but have to admit that I was touched by his words. Vecsey on the other hand, spoke the same way in which he has acted and written all these years. And there is nothing wrong with that. We have to give Vecsey credit for calling out the committee who has left out so many of all time greats. Or how about him bringing up the fact that of the 24 All Stars in that first year when the ABA and NBA were combined, 14 were ABA'ers. A handful of BIG TIME guys, came over to him after the dinner and thanked him for that. He also mentioned how this year has been the most rewarding of his career. He finally had the time to do more historical pieces. Who else is doing that?, WE SHOULD ALL BE THANKFUL for the work of Peter Vecsey, a true guardian of the GAME.

We're 20-20 in our last 40 games under Coach Solich. Perhaps someone else should've been chosen?
