Hi! My name is Sneakers
I am Domestic Mediumhair from Hillsboro, OH
Nicknames: Baby Girl, Battycuda, Buttercup, Carmel Buttercup, and Butterball.
Age: 14 years old
Gender: F
Coat: short haired
Education: I love to go outside to hunt. I can catch mice, birds, chipmunks, grasshoppers and all sorts of stuff. She'll only let me bring in a mouse or a grasshopper to play with and to show her what a good job I've done. I like to bring a mouse in, meow at my owner, and drop it(alive) in the kitchen for her to see so she can pick it up. Then I run to her master bath and get in. I like her to stop up the tub and put the mouse in there so I can play with it without it getting away. She doesn't like for them to get loose in the house. And I like to play with em with out having to worry about chasing it down again!
My favorite tricks and treats are: I like to fetch. My favorite thing to fetch is my "spongies" the little capsules you put in a bath tub and they turn into little sponge creatures. and I absolutely love Beef jerky that comes in a bag from wal-mart. I can hear someone open that bag from a mile away. I also like turkey and tuna quite a bit. I come running for the sound of the can opener. You never know when it could be tuna! And I LOVE mom's tea! She shares whether she wants to or not!
Where I hang out: My owner's lap. But I like the windows and the tall dressers too. And anywhere there is a box, I'm there.
My favorite grubs: meow mix wet packets, but it has to be certain flavors or I won't eat it and I like the dry regular flavor too.
My pet peeves: I absolutely hate to be picked up. I love to snuggle on my own terms. and being held is not one of them. I don't like any canines to close to my personal space. and I get pretty aggravated if someone is on my person's lap or in my spot in the bed.
What I love about my owners: probably that she spoils me with food. lets me go outside. and always lets me snuggle with her in bed or on her lap.
My cat hobbies: I love to go outside, especially if my owners are going out. I love to play and lay in boxes. And of course to play with a mouse in the tub. Snuggling with my owner if she is having a nap or in bed for the night is a neccessity. And I MUST have her lap if she's sitting. no matter if she's watching T.V., playing on the computer, or reading.
Pet motto: You can take the cat out of the wild, but you can't take the wild out of the cat. On with stalking and hunting!!

BT is launching its new Super fast broadband service next week. Called BT Infinity it uses fibre optic technology and will offer download speeds of up to 40Mb/s, rivalling its competitor Virgin.
Original BT broadband services use copper wires and generally run at speeds of 8Mb/s. By moving to fibre optic cable broadband service, BT will be able to offer speeds of up to 5 times the previous fastest available.
Before this new service from BT, the only company offering a fibre optic broadband service was Virgin with their 50Mb/s service.
To take advantage of a fibre optic broadband service you need to live near a fibre optic cable. Around 50% of the country already live close enough to a Virgin fibre optic cable. At the launch of the BT Infinity service only a few hundred customers will be able to connect to it (in Muswell Hill in London, Glasgow and Cardiff) however, it's expected this will rise to some 4 million by the end of the year.
The entry cost for the BT Infinity broadband service is £19.99 per month. This has a maximum upload speed of 2Mb/s, a limit on monthly usage and a £50 connection fee.
To get an upload of 10Mb/s, the cost will be £24.99 per month. This includes free connection and unlimited monthly usage.
The Virgin Media XXL speed has a faster download limit of 50Mb/s, it doesn't have a monthly usage limit but it does currently have a slower upload speed, although it is apparently testing 10Mb.
You can get more information on BT Infinity on the BT website.

Not In Our Town National Week of Action Kicks Off September 18, 2011
September 7, 2011
George Hazimanolis
Maria Pisano
WQED To Host Screening and Discussion
of Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness
Not In Our Town National Week of Action Kicks Off September 18, 2011
What: Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness Documentary Screening and Discussion
When: Monday, September 19, 2011, 6:30 pm
Where: WQED, 4802 Fifth Avenue, Oakland
PITTSBURGH - WQED is hosting a screening and public discussion of a new PBS documentary, Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness, in the Hillman Conference Center at WQED, 4802 Fifth Avenue in Oakland on Monday, September 19 at 6:30 p.m.
This event is free and open to the public but registration is required;
visit http://notinourtownatwqed.eventbrite.com/ to reserve a spot. Limited free parking will be available in the WQED staff and visitor parking lots after 5 p.m., with additional free overflow parking available in the Carnegie Mellon parking lot located at Forbes and Morewood Avenues (after 5 p.m.)
WQED-TV will air the documentary Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness on Wednesday, September 21 at 10 p.m.
Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness tells the story of residents of a Long Island village taking action after a local immigrant is killed in a hate crime attack by seven teenagers. While starkly revealing the trauma of hate, the film provides a blueprint for people who want to do something before intolerance turns to violence.
The screening at WQED is part of the Not In Our Town National Week of Action, held from September 18-24. During the Week of Action, communities across the country will use the film to find ways to prevent hate crimes and anti-immigrant violence. Public media stations along with national partners, including faith-based organizations, the Department of Justice Community-Oriented Policing Services Office, National League of Cities, National Hispanic Media Coalition, and Welcoming America, will also use the film to initiate dialogue about intolerance in their communities.
About the Film
In 2008, a series of attacks against Latino residents of Patchogue, New York culminated with the hate crime killing of Marcelo Lucero, an Ecuadorian immigrant who had lived in the Long Island village for 13 years. Seven local teenagers were arrested for the attack and one was charged with murder. Over a two-year period, the story follows Mayor Paul Pontieri, the victim's brother Joselo Lucero, and Patchogue residents as they openly address the underlying causes of the violence, work to heal divisions, and begin taking steps to ensure everyone in their village will be safe and respected.
Not In Our Town: Stop Hate. Together.
Not In Our Town highlights communities coming together to stop hate. Developed by The Working Group in 1995, Not In Our Town began with a PBS documentary that told the story of how people in Billings, Montana joined together to respond to a series of hate crimes in their town. This simple, powerful story of people banding together struck a chord with audiences, and created a model that inspired viewers around the country to hold their own campaigns against intolerance.
For more information about Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness, including the film trailer, discussion guides, and press materials, please visit NIOT.org or PBS.org/NIOT.

The man holding hostage Libyan oil exports worth billions of dollars has intensified his power struggle with Tripoli by setting up a new regional government in the east of the country.
The move by Ibrahim Jadhran, 32, the former commander of the Petroleum Facilities Guard, has rekindled worries over global oil supply. As much as $7.5 billion (£4.6 billion) of Libyan oil export revenues have been lost since the summer because of armed industrial action and disputes in terminals. The political feuding has crippled economic recovery in the country with Africa's largest proven oil reserves. Libya's economy is 95 per

Trucking Accidents
Mesirow & Associates represents clients in metropolitan Washington (including the Maryland suburbs and Northern Virginia) and Baltimore and its surrounding counties who have been seriously hurt in truck accidents. That includes accidents with trucks used as passenger vehicles as well as accidents with large commercial trucks, such as semis, tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers or Mack trucks. In addition to handling collisions and rollovers caused by bad driving or defective trucks and parts, we also hold truckers and their trucking companies responsible for accidents involving cargo spills or improperly maintained trucking equipment.
Accidents between passenger cars and larger trucks can be extremely serious because of the imbalance of size and weight between a car and a truck. Even an ordinary passenger truck can be twice the weight of a passenger car; a commercial truck can be many times heavier. That size imbalance means the truck brings much greater force to a collision, causing severe injuries like brain damage, spinal cord injuries, amputations, severe burns or even death to the occupants of the smaller vehicle. In an accident with spilled cargo, drivers may also be severely injured simply because have no warning until it's too late to avoid a crash at highway speeds.
At Mesirow & Associates, we understand that truck accident victims and their families are severely physically and emotionally traumatized, as well as struggling with the financial cost of treating a catastrophic injury. Our goal is to ease those burdens by securing the money our clients need to meet their medical needs; win back income they lose while they cannot work (or for a lifetime); and win compensation for severe physical and emotional injuries. We also strive to relieve our clients of the burden of dealing with insurers, hospitals and other bureaucracies while keeping them well-informed and actively engaged in their cases.
If you or someone you love was seriously hurt in an accident with a truck, Mesirow & Associates would like to help. To set up a free consultation where you can learn more about your options and your rights, you can fill out our confidential online form or call toll-free 866-463-0303 or 202-463-0303 in Washington, D.C.

Having infuriated millions of Robin Williams fans with insensitive remarks on the late actor's suicide, Rush Limbaugh now blames the "liberal media" and "despicable leftists" for distorting his innocent message.
A documentary about the treatment of animals at SeaWorld could have a lot to do with its plummeting shares; the militarization of U.S. suburbs is something we all need to pay close attention to; meanwhile, a black person is killed by authorities or pseudo-authorities every 28 hours in America. These discoveries and more after the jump.
In a time when corporate culture has marginalized our artists and those of compassion and vision, two such people merged for a moment at a Boston church. (Shown here, Michael Milligan in his one-man play.)
Haaretz columnist Gideon Levy argues that recent events have shown that the Jewish state has pity for only the Jews; scientists have found a possible explanation for conservative outrage over women having sex lives; meanwhile, an Ebola outbreak spread in large part due to deforestation.

According to Rush Limbaugh, since the left has normalized gay marriage, now it will do the same with pedophilia; the U.K. government has found a way to take British citizenship away from certain people who were then mysteriously killed by drones; meanwhile, a computer programmer in India may make teachers redundant as he shows how children can and should teach themselves.

Conservative activist circles are abuzz with a new conspiracy theory: Polls showing President Obama with a growing lead over Mitt Romney are deliberately being skewed by the Liberal Mainstream Media so that Republicans will be disheartened and stay home on Election Day.
An Italian study found a man's penis size, on average, is 10 percent smaller than it was 50 years ago. According to Rush Limbaugh, the shrinkage must be because of feminism. Obviously.

Conservatives are once again leveling the false claim that Fluke, the women's rights activist who was thrust into the national spotlight after Rush Limbaugh called her a "slut," wants the government to pay for her to have sex.
Highlights of the second day of the Democratic National Convention included speeches by Bill Clinton and Elizabeth Warren, plus a last-minute change for President Obama's address Thursday night.

As Gloria Steinem said not too long ago, LGBT rights and women's rights "are completely the same thing."
The U.S. government-funded "America's Army" is a digital comic being used as a recruitment tool and it, well, sucks; free online courses may be changing the face of college education as we know it; meanwhile, Rush Limbaugh has been fabricating callers and outsourcing Facebook fans. These discoveries and more after the jump.
A look at the day's political happenings, including Mitt Romney's Bain Capital controversy and Maine's governor making another Nazi comparison.
Rush Limbaugh has a major problem when it comes to women. In the past, the conservative talk radio host has accused them of being sluts for using birth control and called those who support feminism "feminazis." Now, the caustic commentator has come up with a new calumny: "When women got the right to vote is when it all went downhill."

Across America—and particularly in the red states that have rejected gay marriage—divorce rates are continually rising, along with teen pregnancies, out-of-wedlock births and single motherhood (which somehow afflict gay-friendly blue states far less).

|About the IAT
For information on our trichology conference in Auckland, New Zealand, October 16th/17th, 2016,, please click HERE
The International Association of Trichologists (IAT) is a non-profit corporation founded in California in 1974 to promote the study, research and legitimate practice in all aspects of the treatment and care of the human hair and scalp in health and disease.
The trichology course was developed at the University of Southern California during 1974-75 under the guidance of trichologist David Salinger. The course was designed as a home-study (correspondence) course and, additionally, one hundred hours of clinical training must be under- taken under the supervision of an IAT-approved trichologist. Students can presently undertake clinical training in Sydney (Australia), India, Brazil, Argentina, the U.S.A., Russia and Manchester (U.K.) Online lectures are also included.The course has been translated into Russian, Portuguese and Spanish.
Initially the course was taught throughout North America but, in 1979, Government colleges in Australia and New Zealand contacted the IAT about introducing the trichology course. Teachers were trained and colleges in these countries began teaching the course in 1981. Since that time, IAT has trained students in several other countries including India, Singapore, China, South Africa,South Korea, U.K., Malaysia, Vietnam, Latvia, Nigeria, Kenya, Botswana, Brazil, Chile, Mauritius, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Taiwan,Japan, Israel, Russia, Sweden, Argentina, Mongolia, Colombia, Panama, Bangladesh, Mexico, Germany and the West Indies.

After being arrested in connection with the torture and murder of his maid-servant, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) parliamentarian Dhananjay Singh has been booked for raping a 42-year-old married woman, police said Thursday.
Dhananjay was booked under Sections 376 (rape) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) after the woman filed a complaint at east Delhi's Pandav Nagar police station Wednesday evening, claiming that the MP raped her at gunpoint.
"The woman, a government employee, alleged that she was sexually assaulted by Dhananjay at her house when her husband invited the MP for dinner between 2005 and 2009," said a police officer.
According to the police, the woman did not come forward at that time because she was threatened by the MP with dire consequence if she reported the matter to anyone.
The MP and his wife Jagriti Singh are currently in judicial custody after being arrested Nov 5 in connection with the torture-death of their domestic help, Rakhi, and for torturing another servant Rampal, 17.
Dhananjay, who represents Jaunpur Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh, was booked for destruction of evidence and violating the provisions of the Juvenile Justice Act. Jagriti, a dentist at a government hospital, has been booked for murder, attempt to murder and for violating the Juvenile Justice Act.

Fourth-Place Medal
How American Natalie Bieule soared to make her Paralympic dreams come trueLeander Schaerlaeckens at Fourth-Place Medal15 days ago
The bird shows up most days, watching her train from above.
Natalie Bieule likes to think it's her grandfather, Joaquin. Life took one of his legs, too. Well, actually, cancer did before he passed away at 69. Hers was claimed by a drunk driver in a head-on car accident a decade and a half ago when she was 18. Her right leg had to be amputated below the knee. The same leg as the one her grandfather lost. He sometimes called her Joaquina.
The accident that made her an accidental Paralympian in the F44 discus event happened back home in Miami. She had just graduated high school, and she was headed to a friend's house to stay over.
"I just remember getting pulled out of the car and telling myself I need to stay alive and see my mom one more time," Bieule recalls. "The Jaws of Life extracted me out of the passenger's side."
"I had a dancing career ahead of me," she remembers. "That's what I wanted to make a living out of, theater and dancing. And then I got a lot of 'You can't' and 'You won't be able to.' It was a difficult thing for me, but I think my life turned out better than I would have ever expected. I wouldn't take it as misfortune; I take it as life-changing."
There's a new No. 1 in the Best American Swim Cities listPat Forde at Fourth-Place Medal16 days ago
There is a new No. 1 metro area in USA Swimming's annual list of the Best American Swim Cities, and San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif. is the 2016 winner.
USA Swimming annual compiles data and makes a statistical ranking based on several factors, among them: percentage of active swimmers and swim clubs, number of accessible pools and volume of top-level swimmers from the area. In that latter category, it was a very good year for San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara. In addition to a number of competitors on the junior-national level, the region was well-represented on the national and Olympic level as well. In fact, the Santa Rosa Neptunes club team had a pair of U.S. Olympians in four-time medalist Maya DiRado and breastroker Molly Hannis.
DiRado, who won two gold medals, one silver and one bronze in Rio de Janeiro, described what made Santa Rosa and the surrounding area such a hotbed for swimming.
Former open-wheel champion Alex Zanardi wins 3rd Paralympic gold medalNick Bromberg at Fourth-Place Medal17 days ago
Former open-wheel driver Alex Zanardi won a gold medal at the Paralympics for the third time Wednesday.
The 49-year-old was victorious in the H5 time trial in Rio De Janeiro. The H5 is a hand-cycling road event and Zanardi's winning time of 28:36.81 beat out Australia's Stuart Tripp by more than 2.5 seconds.

Zanardi's Rio gold comes almost exactly 15 years after he lost parts of his legs in a horrific open-wheel accident. Zanardi was driving for Mo Nunn Racing in the CART race at Lausitz (Germany), on September 15, 2001. Zanardi's car spun after he left the pits late in the race and he was struck by the oncoming car of Alex Tagliani.
The impact from Tagliani's car tore the nose off the car. Open-wheel cockpits are unlike a traditional driver's seat setup. Drivers sit low in the car and with their legs straight out in front towards the nose of the vehicle.
WADA confirms hack of medical records, information on Americans releasedJay Busbee at Fourth-Place Medal18 days ago
The World Anti-Doping Agency confirmed that it suffered a cyber attack on its databases, and is blaming the incursion on a Russian hacker group. The attack on WADA's Anti-Doping Administration and Management System resulted in the release of records on four American athletes: Simone Biles, Elena Delle Donne, Venus Williams and Serena Williams. The information posted online consisted of confidential medical data, including Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs) for permitted medications, and doping officials were quick to note that the information was in no way incriminating or indicative of any cover-up.
"While it is an evolving situation, at present, we believe that access to ADAMS was obtained through spear phishing of email accounts; whereby, ADAMS passwords were obtained enabling access to ADAMS account information confined to the Rio 2016 Games," WADA said in a statement. "At present, we have no reason to believe that other ADAMS data has been compromised."
Ryan Lochte gets longer suspension for lying than Michael Phelps got for DUIJay Hart at Fourth-Place Medal23 days ago
The bad news for Ryan Lochte is he's been suspended 10 months and is banned from the 2017 world championships for that whole Rio fiasco, according to multiple reports.
The good news is he can focus on his dancing.
The banishment was handed down jointly by the International Olympic Committee, the United States Olympic Committee and USA Swimming, according to USA Today, so clearly the governing bodies were wanting to issue a statement that no one with even a minor association with Lochte condoned anything that happened in Rio.
In case you need a refresher course, Lochte, along with three other members of the U.S. swimming team, were involved in an incident at a Rio Shell station. Lochte originally claimed he and the other three swimmers (Jimmy Feigen, Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger) were robbed at gunpoint. The kicker in the story was Lochte contending that, with a gun pointed at his head and the alleged robber telling him to get on the ground, he responded, "Whatever."
A crime prevention company decided Ryan Lochte was a worthy sponsorBen Rohrbach at Fourth-Place Medal1 mth ago
I'm still not sure if Ryan Lochte was actually robbed in Rio de Janeiro.
The U.S. Olympic swimmer certainly exaggerated his version of events during a late-night rest stop, leaving out parts about urinating on and tearing a poster from the side of a gas station. Still, armed security guards did demand money from him and his friends. The whole controversy was ridiculous.
But it wasn't enough to stop a company committed to crime prevention from signing Lochte, even if every major corporation associated with the three-time silver medalist dropped him as a sponsor.
Rio police charge Ryan Lochte with filing false robbery reportJackie Bamberger at Fourth-Place Medal1 mth ago
Rio police have charged American swimmer Ryan Lochte with filing a false robbery report stemming from an incident at the Olympic games.
Lochte initially said that he and three other teammates were pulled over and held up at gunpoint by individuals claiming to be police officers after leaving a party in the early morning hours of Aug. 14. After evidence revealed that the four swimmers were not pulled over, and were instead involved in an altercation with armed security guards at a Rio gas station who accused them of vandalizing a bathroom, Lochte retracted his claims, saying he "over-exaggerated" parts of the story.
Kenyan Olympians stuck staying in Rio favela as country awaits 'cheap flights'Ben Rohrbach at Fourth-Place Medal1 mth ago
As Olympians across the globe were welcomed home to massive celebrations this week, Kenya's Olympic team remained in Rio de Janeiro while their country awaited cheaper flights out of Brazil.
Those are the charges Team Kenya captain Wesley Korir laid out in a series of Twitter posts. With photos and video, the marathoner described dangerous living conditions — complete with gunshots — in Rio favela accommodations arranged by Kenyan officials, now that the Olympic Village is closed.

Ryan Lochte to be summoned to testify in front of Brazil's justice departmentJackie Bamberger at Fourth-Place Medal1 mth ago
According to multiple reports, Ryan Lochte will be summoned to testify in front of Brazil's justice department, as police continue their investigation into the swimmer's claims following a late-night incident with armed security guards at a Rio gas station during this summer's Olympics.
Lochte had said that he and three other U.S. swimmers were pulled over in their taxi and robbed at gunpoint on their way home from a party on Aug. 14. Video evidence, though, showed that the swimmers were not pulled over and were instead approached by security guards who alleged that they vandalized a gas station bathroom. Lochte then apologized for his initial comments, saying he "over-exaggerated" parts of the story.

What? La Taranta: Dance for Your Lives!
When? Friday, June 27, 8pm-10pm
Where? ideaXfactory, 351 Boonville, Springfield, Missouri
Until the mid 1900's people in certain communities in Puglia, in southern Italy, claimed that a magical spider bit them. The only cure for the spider's poison was consistent dance until the feast day of Peter and Paul. The victims literally had to dance for their lives!
Following a short presentation about La Taranta by Laura Provance of Arts & Letters, Smokey Folk will play Italian music associated with the ritual dance of La Taranta. Brittney Laleh Banaei and Sarah Louise Byrd have choreographed and will perform a dance to recreate the urgency of the traditional Taranta "dance" and the modern pizzica. After their performance the audience will be encouraged to join the feverish dance to ward off the spider's poison!
Feel the power of the community, and experience the magical elements of Christian traditions derived from Paganism in an evening of cultural exploration, music and dance!
Free to the public.

Retirement is probably the one concept I think least about. I have at least three decades until I'll be even close to retirement age. Even when I reach it, like most Americans, I'll probably continue to work in at least some capacity. That being said, the key to being in the position to choose what I'll be doing in my golden years are the decisions I make today.
That's why I'm always on the lookout for great stocks that I can hold on to for the long-term. While these exact companies might not stay in my portfolio for the next thirty years, the foundation upon which they are built is strong enough to last a lifetime. One company with a foundation built to endure is Vanguard Natural Resources (NASDAQ: VNR ) . There is actually a great lesson to be learned by taking a closer look at the foundation Vanguard is building by reviewing the five key strategies (link opens a PDF) that drive its business.
High quality, low risk asset portfolio
Vanguard's business model is to buy up known oil and gas reserves that will produce strong cash flow for years to come. It's usually not shopping in the clearance isle, nor is it looking to pay a premium for the choicest of assets. Instead, it's in the Warren Buffett mode of buying great assets at fair prices. So, while Vanguard might be buying an oil well, the same can be said for any asset an investor buys, quality over quantity will go a long way to ensuring retirement bliss.
Disciplined acquisition strategy
Far too often companies grow for the sake of growth. The American natural gas industry led by Chesapeake Energy (NYSE: CHK ) has for years outspent its cash flow in order to grow its production. That was working when natural gas prices where high, but when prices crashed all the debt the company racked up forced it to sell assets just to pay its bills. Only more recently has Chesapeake become more disciplined and has decided to live within its cash flow. Vanguard on the other hand has remained disciplined, while it reviews nearly 150 deals each year, it might only close on two of them. Bottom line, invest in a company that's disciplined in how it spends money.
Active hedging program
Another facet of Vanguard's business model is to lock in its cash flow several years into the future. While it might not earn as much if prices spike, it also won't lose its shirt if prices collapse. The company takes a long-term view, something few companies or investors do today. Managing for the future is the first step toward ensuring that there actually will be a future for the company, so look for companies that are looking out over the long-term.
Strong credit profile
Far too many companies and individuals run right up to the edge when it comes to debt. This can work out so well when times are good, but it's devastating when the tide turns. Vanguard knows its limits and is committed to maintaining a strong enough balance sheet to ensure that it endures when tough times arise. Invest only in the companies with a balance sheet built to last.
Management team with extensive experience
The most often overlooked area by investors when picking a stock is the management team. That's a shame because the right management team will see things that others missed. Take a look at what the CEO and co-founder of Vanguard peer Breitburn Energy Partners (NASDAQOTH: BBEPQ ) had to say about why he and his partner started the company:
[We] had a theory, a thesis, that technology was going to allow us to increase recoveries of oil and gas and we thought that, it would work very well in the United States and that the exodus from United States by all the major oil companies in the late 80's was a mistake. We felt that new technologies would allow us to continue to grow production here in the United States and so we built the business on the back of that. We acquired interest in large oil and gas fields, embracing technology to increase the reserves, the production, the cash flow and therefore the value.
This same spirit is alive and well at Vanguard. The company's management team knows that one of the keys to its future is to be a capital provider to the oil and gas companies driving the shale revolution. However, it pursues this by remaining disciplined in what it acquires, striving to pay a fair price for great assets, while not being overly aggressive. That has enabled the company to deliver 45% growth in its distribution to investors since going public in 2008. Invest in companies with management teams that offer more than just promises.
Final Foolish thoughts
Investors will do very well to look for these same five strategic traits in a stock that's being bought with retirement in mind. That's because the best investing approach is to choose great companies and then sticking with them for the long term. With that in mind, The Motley Fool would like you to have a free report "3 Stocks That Will Help You Retire Rich."

Washington is not (entirely) broken
If you're looking for proof that Washington is broken, there's plenty of evidence. Democrats and Republicans can't seem to agree on anything, from taxes and healthcare, to immigration, foreign policy, and gay marriage. Yet, every so often, something happens in Congress that brings lawmakers together from both sides of the aisles and promises meaningful change in real peoples' lives.
That's exactly what happened this month when the House passed a bill that we believe could save countless lives and help millions of people lift themselves out of extreme poverty. The Electrify Africa Act passed the House overwhelmingly thanks to the leadership of both parties, especially the bill's sponsors, Reps. Ed Royce (R-Calif.) and Eliot Engel (D-N.Y.), the respective chairman and ranking member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

MARTINSBURG - From the basement of a dorm to a 46-acre campus, Blue Ridge Community and Technical College is ready to begin a new chapter in the history of the college.
The official grand opening of the college's 5,500-square-foot building was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting Friday morning at the new campus at 13650 Apple Harvest Drive in Martinsburg.
"This has been a long time in the making," Dr. Peter Checkovich, BRCTC's president, said at the event.

Journal photo by Michelle Horst
The ribbon was cut Friday morning on the new campus of Blue Ridge Community and Technical College.
The vision for a new building is one that officials at BRCTC have had for over 20 years Checkovich said. The new building will replace the college's space Dunn Building on West Stephen Street in Martinsburg.
"There's a mix of emotions today. One is sort of a feeling of disbelief. We have worked so hard at this, and to see it come into fruition, is hard to assimilate," Checkovich said, adding the new atmosphere serves as one that will promote study.
The property was purchased in the fall of 2010, and the ground for the new building was broken in April 2011. James Skidmore, chancellor of the West Virginia Community and Technical College System, said that 10 years ago the opening of this new building was only a dream.
Article Map
"We have several community colleges in the state that are getting new facilities, but this is the first ribbon-cutting. It is symbolic of the growth of the community college system," Skidmore said.
Total cost of the property and building construction was $18 million, with $13.5 million coming from bonds. Skidmore said WVCTCS worked with the legislator to sell bonds to finance the construction of Blue Ridge's new building along with the construction and renovations of other community college's across the state.
"In order to be able to deliver the services we need to as a community college, new facilities are necessary," Skidmore said.
As for the leftover property, Checkovich said a science, technology, engineering and math building will be one of the first things the college will looking at constructing.
According to the master plan, the campus can fit a total of six buildings. Checkovich said that a STEM building, and the programs that will allow the college to provide, are a real need for the area.
Tina Combs, of BRCTC's board of governors, said that new building brings a sense of pride to the college as well as the community.
"We are very fortunate to have this resource in our community," Combs said.

You may find yourself feeling confused by others today. Perhaps you have a difficult time understanding the true essence of their messages, or your thought processes may seem muddled and unclear. One quick and simple way to clear up scattered thoughts is by engaging in a short period of meditation. As you focus on quieting your mind, releasing all thoughts, and attuning to the silence within you, you should feel distractions melting away and a sense of peaceful centeredness returning. To heighten this effect, you can also ask your spiritual helpers to remove all mental blockages and clear your intuitive pathways so that you will easily be able to understand the events of your day.
With clear thoughts and sensitive intuition, we are able to engage deeply in each moment and connect meaningfully in our interactions with others. The busyness of our lives can often result in feeling scattered and overwhelmed by even normal activities. Detaching from our mental chatter can illuminate our minds and clear our thoughts, resulting in a welcome sense of clarity and inner peace. If we also make an effort to keep our intuitive pathways clear, we automatically feel more connected in each moment. We are then able to interact with others more productively, stay in tune with our surroundings, and move through our day with enhanced awareness. Your muddled thoughts can be replaced by a state of inner peace and spiritual receptivity if you focus on releasing scattered thoughts and opening your intuitive vision today.

Launched in early 2000, GOLF 20/20 is a unique collaboration
designed to galvanize the industry around strategic initiatives and
grass-roots activation to ensure the future vitality of the game of
golf. The fundamental principle behind GOLF 20/20 is that golf
benefits society and that accelerating the growth of the game and
expanding its accessibility will improve the quality of life for
those who are introduced to its positive values.
GOLF 20/20 has established three primary
One of GOLF 20/20's major initiatives has been a comprehensive
analysis of golf's significant contributions to the U.S. economy.
GOLF 20/20, working in conjunction with research partner SRI
International, has provided detailed snapshots of golf's role in
underpinning a healthy economy at both the state and national
levels. The most recent report, the 2011 Golf Economy Report,
measured golf's direct economic contributions in the U.S. at $68.8
billion, and found that the industry has impacted 2 million jobs
with total wage income of $55.6 billion.
Significant efforts are also underway to quantify golf's impact
at the state level. GOLF 20/20 and SRI have collaborated on a
template through which states can measure and demonstrate golf's
contributions to a variety of key constituencies. In total, impact
reports have been completed for 33 states, and it is planned
to complete approximately four new state reports each year.
As part of its mission to grow participation in the game, GOLF
20/20 launched Get Golf Ready, a national, industry-wide adult
player development program. The program is designed to create
thousands of new golfers at hundreds of facilities across the
country, each of which are offering a series of five introductory
lessons to adult beginners. Get Golf Ready is a fast, forward
affordable way to learn to play golf.

I didn't die. I'm not sick. I didn't go on a vacation. And I'm not pregnant. There's another project I was busy with and it's shaping up well already. But that's for another post. Right now, I'm back and here is the recipe for a delicious pasta dish that Speedy and I had for lunch a couple of days ago.
Tomato-cream sauce? Yep. You know, tomato sauce plus cream. Similar to the one in the mighty meaty pasta with tomato cream sauce recipe. The difference is that instead of using plain tomatoes, I used sun-dried tomatoes. Ah, the difference that made.
Recipe: Meatballs and pasta with tomato-cream sauce
- about 60 g. of pasta (or whatever the usual amount you use for two people)
For the meatballs:
- 250 g. of ground pork
- 1/4 c. of finely chopped onions
- 2 tbsps. of finely chopped parsley
- 1 tsp. of salt
- 1/2 tsp. of pepper
- 1/4 c. of bread crumbs (I used panko but you can use any plain bread crumbs)
For the tomato-cream sauce:
- 2 tbsps. of butter
- 1/2 c. of chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/3 c. of chopped onions
- 1 tbsp. of minced garlic
- 1 c. of good quality broth
- 100 g. of cheddar, crumbled
- 1/2 c. of cream
- about 25 sweet basil leaves, roughly chopped
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Boil the pasta in salted water.
- While the pasta cooks, prepare the meatballs and sauce.
- Mix together all the ingredients for the meatballs. Form into balls about an inch-and-a-half in diameter.
- Heat the butter in a frying pan. Cook the meatballs until nicely browned. Scoop out the meatballs with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- To the remaining butter, add the garlic, onion and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for about a minute or until slightly softened.
- Pour in the broth. Taste and add salt and pepper, as needed. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for about five minutes. Add the crumbled cheddar, cream and basil. Cook over low heat, with occasional stirring, until the cheese is melted. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
- To serve: Place the cooked pasta on plates. Top with meatballs. Pour the sauce over the meatballs and pasta.

4. Lansinoh Breast Pads **I plan to do a review of Lansinoh vs. Medela vs. Cloth Breast Pads soon!**
5. Ice Pack
6. Cloth Wipe/Burp Cloth
7. Supply of Mother's Milk Herbal Tea
8. Iphone for looking at pics and videos of the baby, and for entertainment during those 20-30 minutes
9. Bottle of Water
Things are going pretty darn well! I was so incredibly nervous that I would lose my supply, so this is a huge sigh of relief. This morning I pumped 8 1/2 oz at my first session and then I got 6 oz at my second session! She is only eating 4 oz per feeding at this point, so I'm excited to be "banking" some for use when I have overnight work travel, for when we use it to make her rice cereal and baby food, and possibly--if I can keep it up, I may decide to donate some.
So based on the list above, and after a lot of blog/website searching, I have accumulated a little list of helpful tips for maintaining supply and having a productive pumping routine. Let me know if you have tips of your own to share or if you'd like more information on anything that I mention!
Tip #1: A nursing cover is really helpful to have on hand. Even if you're able to close your door, you never know when you might have to pump out of the office (ie on a lunch break or when out for a meeting of some sort), and--at least for me, the idea of a co-worker mistakingly walking in on me is too much to risk!
Tip #2: Another must-have for me is a stretchy microfiber cami. This is something that I always wear, pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy, and especially now. I'm a big fan of the ones from the Limited and I also like the Gillian & O'Malley and Hanes ones from Target. Personally, I love that they're stretchy enough to pull down, so I'm able to keep my tummy and the other not-in-use-breast covered.
Tip #3: Buy an extra box of breast pads (if you use them) and milk storage bags to keep in your office. This will prevent you from having to remember to pack them each morning...because Lord knows you have enough to get together already!
Tip #4: Plan Ahead. Each night, I make sure I have all of my pump parts cleaned and packed and ready to go so all I have to do is grab the ice pack from the freezer and I'm out the door.
Tip #5: I didn't know this and it's been really helpful--you can use the same bottle/pump parts for each feeding throughout the day as long as you refrigerate them. This saves you from having to use several bottles and parts and also saves room. I've been able to avoid having to pack an actual cooler because I can fit everything into the little cooler portion of my pump since I only have one bottle.
Tip #6: Take video of your baby crying and cooing if you have a phone that will do so. This helps me, especially since I'm new to it. I'm able to think of Wren and I seem to have a pretty fast let-down.
Tip #7: Set reminders on your calendar each morning. Nursing is all about supply & demand, so if you miss a pumping session it can impact your supply. I'm so scared that I will forget (though I have a feeling my boobs won't allow me to forget!), so setting a meeting reminder on my Outlook has helped me to be sure I don't let it slip. Plus it forces me to look at my day and figure out if there are meetings that might interfere with a pumping session, in which case I need to be prepared to pump earlier or later.
Tip #8: Fluids! Mother's Milk is an herbal tea that is supposed to support/increase lactation. I can only say that I just started this on Sunday but I have already seen an increase in my production. Granted, things are different in terms of feeding her on demand and pumping so it's hard to say whether my increased production is due to that change or to the milk, but to me it is worth having a cup in the morning (at work) and one in the evening. Also, as for the water, I have found that making my pumping time a designated water-drinking time is helpful. Normally, I use a large (32oz, maybe) reusable water bottle but I forgot it this morning. I'm not in the habit of using bottled water, but I had taken everything home with me before my maternity leave and haven't gotten everything back yet. Anyway, I have found that if I require myself to drink a filled bottle of water at each pumping session, it helps me to keep my daily water intake up. VERY important to me!!
Tip #9: I've been able to "squeeze" (literally!) an extra 1/2 to 1 ounce out of each session by massaging each breast. I start from up near my armpit and really try to work around the entire area. This is a tip that seems pretty obvious but I wouldn't necessarily have thought about it!
Tip #10: Find resources. My personal favorite? I stumbled upon Candid Mommy's You Tube Channel and I have to say I have learned SO much from her. She is so adorable, really down to Earth and very sweet, and I have scoured her videos for lots of tips. She is a master milk producer!! (Seriously--she still nurses her almost-2 year old AND supplied milk for another baby through donor milk for the entire first year of his life!) She has a very unassuming way of telling you her experiences without making you feel like it HAS to be that way. So...if you're a new or soon-to-be nursing mom looking for some resources, I highly recommend heading over and catching up on her videos. She has a series of nursing Q&A videos that I have found to be really helpful.
Okay, well--there you have it! Like I said before, please let me know your thoughts and if you have other helpful tips I would love to hear those as well! Have a great day everyone.

Marcel Breuer was an apprentice at the Bauhaus when he conceived the world's first tubular steel chair. Inspired by the frame of a bicycle, a product he greatly admired for its functional design, Breuer saw tubular steel as a way of building a more transparent chair. Influenced by the constructivist theories of the Dutch De Stjil movement, Breuer took a familiar form in this case the classic club chair and reduced it to its elemental lines and planes. The composition of leather strips suspended on steel tubes was the first chair of its kind. Breuer later named the chair after Wassily Kandinsky, the first person to whom he showed the chair.

When I review a game, I sometimes make comparisons to other titles in order to provide a point of reference for someone who's never played it. Often this serves its purpose - for example "Kid Kool is like Super Mario Bros., but crap," or "Battle of Olympus feels kind of like Zelda II, but with a few weird twists thrown in." Awhile ago, however, I made a comparison between The Karate Kid and Kung Fu, saying that the latter was "a much better game," despite having not played it very much. And today... I have to eat my words. Or at least nibble on them a little bit.
Kung Fu was one of several martial arts games released in the early days of the Famicom; like many NES launch titles, it was designed to be simple, easy to pick up, and good for short play sessions. It succeeded in all of these things, and to some degree, it succeeded in being a good game; 25 years later, it's still decent, but it feels kind of stiff, with the occasional cheap moment to damper the fun.
Your goal, as the brave and mighty Thomas, is to rescue your girlfriend Sylvia, who has been captured by the evil Mr. X. In order to do so, you'll have to travel through the five levels of his hideout, fighting his strongest minions at the end of each one until you reach the final confrontation. Only then will you be reunited with your girlfriend... only to be separated from her seconds later and return to the first level, cycling endlessly through Thomas's own personal hell as fights countless minions just to get another five-second hug.
The controls are pretty straightforward; A punches, B kicks, UP jumps, and DOWN crouches, and you can only move in a straight line from left to right (or right to left, depending on the level). You can also punch or kick while jumping or crouching, which is handy in certain situations. As you go through the levels, enemies come from both sides, and you'll have to stop every once in awhile to kill them; aside from that, you're just making a forward march to the end of the level. Most enemies take one hit, with a few who acquire a few more.
As simple as the basic premise sounds, it's actually executed fairly well. Although you'll be fighting the same mooks most of the time, there are other enemies sprinkled in every now and again. The end-of-level bosses punctuate the action nicely; although they all go down pretty quickly, each one has slightly different attacks and requires a different strategy. To even have boss enemies in a game in 1985 was pretty groundbreaking; I'm sure Kung Fu wasn't the first game to include them, but this was before beat-em-ups and scrolling shooters (and, to some extent, platformers) made them commonplace. The pacing feels about right, too; as short as the game is, the action is quick and snappy enough that the danger of repetition is easily avoided.
Each of the five levels contains its own set of obstacles; there's some borrowing between levels, but each one has enough unique content to stand on its own. The first area's pretty simple; your main threat comes from these purple fellows that run up to you and, uh... give you a hug... thereby, umm, slowly draining your health away. (Seriously, I'm not even going there.) Every once in awhile a knife-thrower will block your path, who will take a few hits to bring down; aside from that, the boss, a sword-wielder, is the only other foe you'll face.
The second level starts out completely differently; you'll be facing snakes (which fall from the sky in pots), dragons (which breathe fire), and... confetti balls?... for the first half of the stage. They appear in a semi-random pattern (if you go the level at a consistent pace every time, the pattern will be pretty similar) and can all be defeated; the snakes, however, can only be killed when they're still in the pot. The second half of the level is mostly the same purple mooks, followed by a boomerang thrower. Many of you may recognize the sound it makes when he throws it, which Nintendo presumably stole from Irem a few years later for a certain action-adventure game that also has boomerangs in it. Naughty, naughty...
Level three is much like level one, but with two key differences: first, there are little elf-men wondering around with the purple guys. They technically appear at the tail end of level two first, but they won't give you much grief until here; if you're crouching to defeat one and another starts heading towards you, they can jump and bounce on your head to take off a sliver of your health meter. (They seem to use this move sparingly - perhaps not even at all - until you get to the last level.) Also, the knife-throwers can come up on both sides; worse still, they'll sometimes back away from you when you try to approach them. (Usually I ignore the one from behind; if you try to get close to him and he backs away, you're likely to lose a lot of forward progress in the process.) The boss is a beefy black guy who's pretty easy to take out if you crouch next to him and start wailing away... provided, of course, that he sticks to punches and doesn't try to kick you.
Level four is really annoying until you figure out the best way to get through; flying insects will pop out of holes in the wall and head straight for you, sacrificing their lives to bring you to your knees. Some of the holes, however, can be safely passed by walking in a straight line non-stop, and you'll only have to take out a few insects to get through. After some more mooks and elf-men, you'll fight what appears to be a monkey who can teleport and summon other creatures to do his bidding. Annoying, but pretty bold for such an early boss.
Level five is like level three but trickier, with Mr. X himself waiting at the end. He can block your attacks and dish out some hefty damage, but if you persevere, Slyvia is yours. And then you do the whole thing all over again, time after time, until you lose your last life; the game will tally the number of successful playthroughs you've made, eventually displaying letters and random garbage characters if you keep going long enough.
For the time, the gameplay was relatively varied, and the action was fast-paced enough to keep things from getting too stale. Unfortunately, Kung Fu has aged a bit, and there are a few issues that stick out to the modern eye. The controls feel okay as long as you're standing on the ground; when you start jumping, the attack buttons suddenly become less responsive, since you can only punch or kick at the apex of your jump. (Why you would ever jump-punch is beyond me, since most of your enemies are the same height as you.) Also, when several types of enemies are crowding in at once (particularly knife-throwers and mooks, or the snake/dragon section at the start of level 2), it is sometimes next to impossible get through without taking damage; sometimes the enemies will appear in a certain sequence and make it easy to get through, and other times you'll practically be forced to lose health. On difficulty B (in which you die much more quickly), this can make a huge difference in a playthrough.
The main level music is an interesting mix of the pentatonic scale (often seen in traditional Japanese music) and a modified twelve-bar-blues progression; it's pretty bare-bones and doesn't even make use of all of the sound channels. The remaining music is less remarkable; where the sound really shines, though, is in all of the pre-recorded samples used for punching, kicking, dying... pretty much everything, in fact. I particularly like the laughing sound Mr. X makes after the second and fourth levels, when you see your girlfriend in the distance tied to a chair... cleverly, the sound is actually one short sample played back at several different speeds in succession. Considering how small cartridge sizes were back then (less than 50 KB), fitting all those samples in is a particularly impressive feat.
Kung Fu holds a great deal of nostalgia for many people, but, in all honesty, I don't think it's *that* much better than The Karate Kid. It's a simpler game from a simpler time, to both its benefit and determent; it doesn't have the platforming and fancy bonus games that LJN's title does, but it also avoids the more irksome issues created by these additions. Still, it's one of the better NES launch titles, and still packs a bit of fun 25 years later. Not bad for the folks who went on to make Deadly Towers...

Executive to top Disney Channels Worldwide
Disney has turned to its top marketing exec in Latin America to take on the tough assignment of succeeding Rich Ross as prexy of the Mouse's Disney Channels Worldwide kidvid juggernaut.
Carolina Lightcap will relocate from Buenos Aires to Burbank to take the reins of Disney Channel's far-flung operations, which encompass 94 channels and feeds in 169 countries and 33 languages. As part of the post-Ross shuffle an-nounced Tuesday, longtime Disney Channels Worldwide entertainment prexy Gary Marsh has taken on additional responsibilities as the company's chief creative officer.
Lightcap reports to Anne Sweeney, co-chair of Disney's Media Networks division and prexy of Disney/ABC Television Group. Sweeney cited the exec's "wealth of experience, leadership acumen and programming, marketing and franchise-building skills" in announcing her promotion. Lightcap, who was not available for an interview, said in a statement that she was looking forward to helping to "create the future of kid-focused, family-inclusive entertainment."
Under the direction of Ross and Marsh, Disney Channel's operations have grown exponentially in the past five years as the cabler minted a new generation of hit programs ("Hannah Montana," "High School Musical," "Wizards of Waverly Place," "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody") and stars (Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Raven-Symone). The cabler's success has fueled profits for other Mouse House divisions ranging from music to merchandising to its live touring biz.
Lightcap's task will be to fill Ross' shoes as head marketer and cheerleading for the channel's ventures. She's a highly regarded exec who is well liked within Disney but not very well known outside the Mouse in traditional showbiz circles. For the past three years she's served in the dual role of senior veep of programming and creative affairs for Disney Channel Latin America, and as chief marketing officer for all of Disney in Latin America.
Lightcap impressed her bosses in Burbank by shepherding the Latin American adaptations of the "High School Musical" franchise, which yielded three Spanish-lingo feature films in Mexico, Brazil and Argentina, a series of talent competitions broadcast on the local Disney Channel cablers and a five-country concert tour. She also managed all marketing matters in the region for the Mouse's film releases, consumer products, cruise line and interactive group, among other initiatives.
Lightcap emerged as a strong contender to succeed Ross shortly after his promotion to Walt Disney Studios chairman was made official early last month (Daily Variety, Oct. 6). Marsh was also seen as an heir apparent, but it's understood the exec made it clear to Sweeney and others that he was comfortable in his role as programming boss, even if it meant reporting to Ross' successor. The top prexy post involves a lot of travel, meeting with distribution partners and sundry corporate schmoozing that didn't particularly appeal to Marsh, who's been with the channel for more than 20 years.
Sweeney made sure to praise Marsh's contributions in announcing his expanded focus on all manner of creative content under the Disney Channel imprint.
"His unique vision helped define Disney Channel as a global leader in kid and family entertainment while fueling a content bonanza for other areas of our company," Sweeney said.
Lightcap joined Disney in 2000 as veep of marketing for media networks in Latin America. She was elevated to senior veep of programming and creative affairs for Disney Channel Latin America in 2004 and added the studiowide chief marketing responsibilities in 2006.
Before Disney, Lightcap worked as a programming exec in Miami for Sky Latin America Partners. Earlier in her career, she worked in Los Angeles for 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment and for the Fox Latin American Channel.
