Liz Eilf, president of the Lehigh Regional Medical Center Auxiliary, has put out a call for more volunteers to help out at the hospital on Lee Boulevard, to join up and put in at least a four-hour shift of volunteer work each week, something that is extremely important at the hospital.
"Volunteers here are an important ingredient. While they have no contact with patients or their care, volunteers help out where they are needed and that includes several areas in the hospital," Eilf said.
She has been a volunteer with the hospital for five years and president of the auxiliary for the past two years. All total, she said there are 52 volunteers but she would like to have at least 65 people who are willing to give up some time and help out. That's an increase of at least 13 more people.

Janet Collins has volunteered at Lehigh Regional Medical Center for two years and has volunteered in other areas for about eight years. She is also vice president of the auxiliary.
"What happens sometimes is that a volunteer can't make it in and we don't get a call until the last minute and it is difficult to get another volunteer who may have plans already made for something else," Eilf said.
"I would like that roster to have about 65 people on it," said Eilf who volunteers her time, not only overseeing the staff of volunteers and interviewing new applicants, but working in the hospital's gift shop, which is to the left of the entrance of the hospital. Proceeds from the store go to students interested in the medical field and this past year, the Auxiliary handed out five scholarships to students.
Eilf noted that one of the jobs of the volunteers is manning the front desk and it must be staffed daily while the hospital is open.
"These are the first people that visitors see when they come into the hospital to visit a patient or for some other reason. We need people who have a good knowledge of the activities of the hospital. All of that comes with training," Eilf said.
"People greet our visitors with a smile and offer any type of assistance they may need," she said.
Eilf said the need of obtaining new volunteers comes because often college student volunteers have to leave because of class schedules. Others come and go for various other reasons. Some retire because of their age as was the case recently when a 90-year-old woman who had put in at least 10,000 hours over the years decided to take some time off.
Volunteers are needed in several areas of the hospital, Eilf said.
"In addition to the Front Desk with volunteers putting in four-hour shifts, we have the downstairs surgical waiting room where the volunteer is the liaison with the surgical staff and keeps family members aware of how their loved ones are doing in surgery.
Eilf said volunteers are needed in the gift shop, medical records, radiology and pre-op records.
"Don't forget we need volunteers in the emergency room. These volunteers do such things as change sheets and beds in the ER and to take care of the stock room which provides time to medical personnel for emergencies," she said.
On the second and third floors of the hospital, Eilf said volunteers push a car from room to room from a provided list. They offer magazines and drinks and even take time to talk with the patients. Then we need clerical people in accounting and in human resources.
Those interested in volunteering must be 18 years of age.
"We need both men and women to be volunteers," Eilf said. Volunteers are put through background checks and are interviewed by herself or an assistant, Janet Collins, the vice president. Application forms can be picked up at the front desk, she said.
Eilf is planning to come up with a list of volunteers for each needed job and shift and give them out so volunteers know the individuals who also volunteer and can fill in for them when they can't come in.
When Eilf first started volunteering, there were only 32 people giving of their time as volunteers. Now she works at least one day from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., mostly manning the gift shop and keeping account of volunteers.
She said volunteers are given two days of training so they are familiar with the hospital and its areas and how to guide people around.
Some volunteers give more than the four hours asked, she said.
Volunteers pay $5 in dues to join the Auxiliary and that helps to provide blue tops for volunteers. Pink vests are purchased by the volunteers themselves.
She said a typical volunteer is between 50 and 80. Then there are medical students who attend college and find time to volunteer.
"One of the benefits for those who work the 8 a.m. to noon and the noon to 4 p.m. shifts is a free lunch in the cafeteria," Eilf said.
Melanie Diaz of Lehigh is a volunteer who helps out in the Surgery Waiting Room on Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. She has a list of those who are undergoing surgery and said she keeps family members informed about those in surgery. She is there to talk to family members if they want to talk.
"It's a good thing to do and I enjoy it," she said.
Janet Collins of Lehigh has been a volunteer at the front desk for two years and said she enjoys it. She has volunteered in other areas, too.
Some 16 volunteers must man the desk with all the four-hour shifts each week, she said.
"There's a certain good feeling to be a volunteer and know you are doing an important job for others," Eilf said. "It's a special feeling that you are giving back to the community." Eilf spent years running the Lehigh Community Services Center, where food and utility money were provided to the needy.
"We just want to get the word out to people who can donate four hours a week and we can work out the hours that can accommodate them," she said.
"Serving as a volunteer is a wonderful thing and our great people here at the hospital who are volunteers will tell you it gives them a good feeling knowing they are needed," Eilf said.

Best Uses
I used this for an education conference. We had a movie theme, so I decorated the tables in this theme and gave the swag bags as gifts for our clients attending the meeting. The bags were a huge hit. They carried out our theme, and provided a little fun for all. I thought they were perfect for the price. I could not have purchased all the items individually for the price I paid. I loved the bags. These swag bags were cute and fun!

We used these bags as our souvenirs for our high school Hollywood Premiere prom. They were a big hit. The items in the bag (along with other provided items) were used that night in a photo booth we had set up for the event. Also, the bags gave everyone a place to put their things: photo booth photos, keys, etc.
We wrote everyone's name on a bag and it was easy for them to keep up with! Would definitely do a souvenir bag again!

I don't want to watch commercials in between rounds and ads popping up non stop during the fight. I'll pay the $60-$70 for a better viewing experience poor/cheap bastards will stream it anyway so it really doesn't matter. Besides I like having family/friends over and watching the fights in a big group if it's on free TV that won't happen.
Besides the fighters make money off the PPV buys, unless they are guaranteed a substantially purse this just won't happen. I saw an interview with Lampley somewhere and he said boxing is meant for PPV for these exact reasons and I agree. Sure I can do without the 20+ minute intro/anthem/saying 500 names that don't matter before the fight starts but I can deal with that.

If GBP & CBS put the numbers together and offered Cotto/Canelo a big enough purse that PPV buys wouldn't crack the amount they were getting paid, I can see it happening. CBS could promote the hell out of the fight through the "Fight Camp 360" re-brand in "All Access" plus the heavy advertisement on CBS/SEC and CBS/NFL would certainly get advertisers to flock to the event, and the biggest move of all would be to hold the match before the main event of Chavez Jr./Martinez.

And don't you think it'd be better for the sport to get the exposure from network tv like it used to be? Don't you think it sucks that most people don't know who the fuck Mayweather and Pacquiao are?

It would do very well but there's no way a network would fork over enough money to bring that to their network. PPV just brings in too much. Right now Cotto V Canelo would probably do 500,000 buys.

Canelo vs a can alone would do more than 10 million viewers.
Canelo's main market don't even have HBO.
And Cotto? If he fought on free TV the entire population of puerto rico would tune in and then some. More than 30 million for the two of them.

The names people are guaranteed to know in the US are Mayweather, Pac, Cotto, Margarito. Cotto is a draw on his own but those two have been around the board enough times for people to recognise their names by now. Mosley and JMM would also have to be well known by now given the level of marketing they've been through. Canelo I understand is also a recognisable name purely due to being on the Mayweather under cards. Hell they even know Bradley now for better or worse. So really this "people only know one or two boxers" outlook isn't as bleak as people make out.
To top that off Vitali and Wlad do their rounds on major American talk shows and their fights generate a good bit of interest when HBO shows them in the US. Wlad vs Haye was the most googled US search term for a few days after the fight. Adamek vs Vitali was also trending well for their fight. Likewise, I'd bet Chisora vs Haye would do well if HBO would or anyone else would show it.

Lesbian activist awarded MBE
Post your comment

Reader comments
What can you say about awards and those who bask in the glory…Activists who face the real danger, stick their necks out and do the dirty work can feel cheated, while opportunists after the gains, position themselves into cushy jobs.
This happened in the 80's, to our wonderful Breast cancer, activist Ladies in Cairns Australia, who also opened up the first Womens shelters in Queensland.
Who stole their thunder in this instance and pined medals on their breasts?…Heterosexauls as usual.
These great women have been effectively blotted out of Gay history
but never forgotten.
Alternatively, you can see this article as evidence that gay people and gay contexts are no longer seen as ineligible for mainstream awards.
She does look a bit like a lesbian Salvation Army super-hero with her Sally Army-like uniform plus the rainbow cape.
Imagine her as a rainbow-coloured bat swooping out of the skies of Poland, Latvia and Moldova to fight homophobia and to protect LGBT rights with her magic rainbow cape!
Peter, Australia is still a pretty intolerant place though. Compare your very right wing administration to 15 years+ of our very lefty Labour government and lets face it, Even David Cameron is a liberal when compared to Julia Gillard! Things are much better in the UK and its only a matter of time before marriage equality happens. The fact the queen is handing an MBE to someone for services to the LGBT community shows just how much society has/is changing here.
pride events are counterproductive if you're not an exhibitionist its like watching carnival freaks they should be stopped
@Dean: not in C&E Europe they are not, so why don't you come along if you feel that way about western events? You would be made very welcome!
…and it looks like it was the first time ever that the words "Lesbian" "Gay" "Bisexual" and "Transgender" were used either singly or together ina British Honour. And I'm sure that "L" word made rather a few people sit up and pay attention and just imagine the poor palace official who had to wrap his mouth around that! Plus which HMQ is not only Head of State she is the Titular Head of the Church, which pleases LGBT people in C&E Europe no end!
Congratulations Clare Dimyon…and thank you.
Gosh, there are some random comments on here! Peter – what on earth are you talking about exactly.
Loving Clare's suit, that's proper lesbian palace attire I reckon. But, a superhero she sure is! I feel guilty I haven't been to any Eastern European prides. we should all go to more.
Thanks all for these lovely comments.
@ Peter: Im sorry to hear about the Breast Cancer Activists in Cairns but I can assure you I am 100% lesbian! and I have never been anywhere near Cairns!
Superhero me? The Slovaks sometimes call me the "Mother of Slovak PRIDE", which is lovely but really I am the "delinquent aunt of PRIDE in C&E Europe". It is the LGBT in each country of C&E Europe who do the work and take all the risks, I just turn up, wave a few flags and try to be a supportive presence. I'm not really sure I do "deserve" it but I am absolutely certain the LGBT of C&E Europe *do*! This honour can't be given to them direct but with this crazy archaic system, honour is conferred upon them through the citation: "for promoting the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people of Central & Eastern Europe" said out loud by the Lord Chamberlain IN Buckingham Palace.
Not only do we have honour conferred upon them but quite by accident we stumbled into history… the first honour for PRIDE, the first time the words "Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender" are used in a citation for a British honour, possibly for any such official honour in the world AND I didn't fall flat on my face in those heels in front of Prince Charles and disgrace the entire lesbian nation!
@ Peter: HM Queen is also Queen of Australia (for the time being) and Head of the English Church… there is astonishing symbolism and history in this honour (the fact it went to me is incidental) and it is the determination of the LGBT people (and their friends and families) to parade with PRIDE that has achieved it. They have achieved this for US.
@ Jonpol: :*
@ Claudia: don't come because you feel guilty, come because you want to meet some of the most fabulous LGBT people I know and their just adorable friends and families who are 110% behind them. Come to have fun, most of all come because you feel PROUD of the LGBT people of C&E Europe and their astonishing determination to parade with PRIDE despite any number of difficulties. Come and take part in history in the making!

The Python DB-API
Many people use Python because, like other scripting languages, it is a portable, platform-independent and general-purpose language that can perform the same tasks as the database-centric, proprietary 4GL tools supplied by database vendors. Like 4GL tools, Python lets you write programs that access, display and update the information in the database with minimal effort. Unlike many 4GLs, Python also gives you a variety of other capabilities, such as parsing HTML, making socket connections and encrypting data.
Possible applications for the Python DB-API include:
Many web sites construct pages on the fly to display information requested by the user, such as selections from the products offered in a catalog or from the documents available in a library. Doing this requires CGI scripts that can extract the desired information from a database and render it as HTML.
An Intranet application might use the Tkinter module and the DB-API to provide a graphical user interface for browsing through a local database, such as accounts receivable or a customer list.
Python programs can be used to analyze data by computing statistical properties of the data.
Python programs can form a testing framework for programs that modify the database, in order to verify that a particular integrity constraint is maintained.
There are lots of commercial and freeware databases available, and most of them provide Structured Query Language (SQL) for retrieving and adding information (see Resources). However, while most databases have SQL in common, the details of how to perform an SQL operation vary. The individuals who wrote the Python database modules invented their own interfaces, and the resulting proliferation of different Python modules caused problems: no two of them were exactly alike, so if you decided to switch to a new database product, you had to rewrite all the code that retrieved and inserted data.
To solve the problem, a Special Interest Group (SIG) for databases was formed. People interested in using Python for a given application form a SIG of their own: they meet on an Internet mailing list, where they discuss the topic, exchange ideas, write code (and debug it) and eventually produce a finished product. (Sounds a lot like the development process for the Linux kernel, doesn't it?)
After some discussion, the Database SIG produced a specification for a consistent interface to relational databases—the DB-API. Thanks to this specification, there's only one interface to learn. Porting code to a different database product is much simpler, often requiring the change of only a few lines.
The database modules written before the Database SIG are still around and don't match the specification—the mSQL module is the most commonly used one. These modules will eventually be rewritten to comply with the DB-API; it's just a matter of the maintainers finding the time to do it.
A relational database is made up of one or more tables. Each table is divided into columns and rows. A column contains items of a similar type, such as customer IDs or prices, and a row contains a single data item, with a value for each column. A single row is also called a tuple or a relation, which is where the term "relational database" originates.
For an example database, we'll use a small table designed to track the attendees for a series of seminars. (See Listing 1.) The Seminars table lists the seminars being offered; an example row is (1, Python Programming, 200, 15). Each row contains a unique identifying ID number (1, in this case), the seminar's title (Python Programming), its cost ($200), and the number of places still open (15). The Attendees table lists the name of each attendee, the seminar that he or she wishes to attend and whether the fee has been paid. If someone wants to attend more than one seminar, there will be more than one row with that person's name, with each row having a different seminar number and payment status.
The examples below use the soliddb module, which supports accessing SOLID databases from Python. SOLID is a product from Solidtech that was reviewed by Bradley Willson in LJ, September, 1997. I'm not trying to cover CGI or Tkinter programming, so only the commands to access the database are presented here, in the same manner as if typed directly into the Python interpreter.
I would rather do something more like this
for i in cursor:
clearer code
while (1):
instead of
while 1:
if attendee == None: break
instead of
if attendee is None: break
if you want to give an example, please give a good one, not just something that works, show how to write pythonic code
I wonder if you thought at all before posting
Sometimes, things are not as they appear to the casual, shallow minded observer.
AMK is no 'newbie' to Python. Rather like a skilled sensei teaching young would-be samurai, he simplied his technique so as not to distract his students with complexity but rather to let them focus on his lesson one simple point at a time.
The real pythonic way of "saying" [if attendee is None: break]
is [if not attendee: break]
Remember, nothing is so good that can not be better . . .
If you want to correct someone, do this better next time.
Hey Andrew, nice code, your tutorial is the only link at PyGreSQL page, continue helpping people that are realy capable of learnning something.

Well, as a python
Well, as a python programmer, it could have been better, but since it's about using the API, and not how to write good python, it's still a good example.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

My experience with photography starts with a six-year-old boy holding up lights for his dad at a party. When we arrive home, my dad gives me his state-of-the-art Hasseblad camera's detachable back and teaches me to rewind the film. For me it was all fun, but what I didn't realize is that with my father's instructions, he was preparing me for my own future profession.
I went to photography school at Focus in Sao Paulo, Brazil at the age of 16. And now, thousands of weddings, events, studio shots, aerial photos, and family photos later, this is still what I do and what I love. Read More...

The lining and the designs brighten my day, It makes me curious and want more of these kinds of artworks, She gives off this kind of feeling like, she doesn't want to hide, and the people outside that bedroom door are waiting for her return back to them, How should I say this, They want her to Know that everything is alright, and what I get from her is that she never thought that they cared so much, until they knocked on her door, like her sister did when they were separated. Wonderful Job, And Sorry if this is kinda confusing to understand, over all I love it!!!!!
The Artist thought this was FAIR
16 out of 18 deviants thought this was fair.
"Hello madam, are you currently satisfied with your homeowner's insurance?"
Can I colour this? It's beautiful!
Awesome, this is so pretty! Great job
You captured her apprehension so well, as well as her torn desire to protect others from herself, and her desire to connect again with people.
What a lovely drawing.
Oh I love this. My I recolor this, not as elsa, but as a Frozen OC? I would give you credit for the line drawing.
As far as it's ability to depict the character is concerned, this picture is spot on. When it comes to conveying powerful emotions through minimalism, there are few that parallel this image. As for the skill of the artist, one can see it is well represented in this piece.
I would ask for this to be colored, but I don't know if that would detract from the aspect of minimalism in the artwork.

In Brief: Album reviews and more, March 6-12
Beck, "Morning Phase"***
Beck's first new album in six years -- not counting "Song Reader," his 2012 sheet music-only release -- is a beautifully becalmed art object, a gleaming 12-song collection that luxuriates in Sunday morning melancholy. It makes a conscious connection in particular to "Sea Change," his irony-free 2002 breakup album, and to "Mutations," the stripped-down 1998 effort that also made the case that the now-43-year-old, formidably talented former wunderkind is just as comfortable mellowing down easy as he is getting archly funky with two turntables and a microphone.
Is "Morning Phase" a "personal" album? By the standards of Beck, never the most knowable of performers, maybe it is. But starting with the 40-second opening instrumental, "Cycle" -- which features strings arranged by Beck's father, David Campbell, as does the entire album -- and on through the closing "Waking Light," "Morning Phase" is short on the specifics of heartache. Instead, it's content to wash over you in a steady succession of midtempo waves, glistening with sonic detail and the shine of the winter sun.
St. Vincent, "St. Vincent"***
Annie Clark got her start as a guitarist in the large ensembles of the Polyphonic Spree and Sufjan Stevens before launching her solo career as St. Vincent. She's an inventive, often noisy guitar player, but on her fourth record, her guitar often takes a secondary role to heavy electronic grooves. It's an album full of disruptions, lyrical and musical.
Even relatively quiet songs get upended: "Huey Newton" starts as a softly sung, beautiful keyboard ballad and then shifts, abruptly, to a distorted, heavy-metal guitar trudge punctuated with angry screams. "I Prefer Your Love" is a grand, reach-for-the-heavens proclamation, but there's friction when she completes the title phrase with "to Jesus." Clark's last project, "Love This Giant," was a collaboration with David Byrne. "Rattlesnake" and "Digital Witness" possess the playful, artful mix of groove and noise of Talking Heads' "Remain In Light." But mostly, "St. Vincent" is brash, bold and deliberately uneasy.
Ledisi, "The Truth"***
Naming one's album after the ultimate philosophical concept, the virtue supposedly most cherished by all, is a lot to wrap your head around. If you had to pick one vocalist who would do a great job with the truth, Ledisi would be a great choice. She may not hold the keys to the Scriptures, Shakespeare, Schopenhauer, or Springsteen, but she sounds as if she's got them jiggling in her breast pocket. This jazzy adult-contempo soul singer, with the warmest tones since Sarah Vaughan, has approached sexual abuse, yearning, and raw topicality with passion, honesty, and guile, with harder- and harder-edged music with each release.
"The Truth" is sprightlier and faster-paced overall than her previous albums. "I Blame You," a boldfaced bit of good, old-fashioned romanticism, is the type of blowzy retro-R&B that Sharon Jones' Dap Kings would kill for. So is "That Good Good" and the super-sensual "Lose Control." The truth is, Ledisi's every breath has conviction and earnestness. That's a rare truth worth celebrating.

To get rid of something is to "sauce" it. Or, it was "sauced."
"I sauced that jerk!" Meaning you broke up with someone. Or, "I sauced that assignment." Meaning you blew it off, or didn't do it. Or, "Dang...She is..."Saucy". Meaning she gets rid of things or situations she doesn't need or don't serve her very quickly.

Year In Review: The 13 Best Sci-Fi and Fantasy Films of 2013
This year promised a number of great original science fiction movies from Hollywood, and then it turned out most of them weren't even good let alone great — the sort that left us with way too many unanswered questions regarding their plot holes. Meanwhile, in the fantasy genre, we continued to see the studios churning out one YA adaptation after another in the hopes of it being the next Hunger Games (or still the next Harry Potter or Twilight or even Star Wars in the case of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones) and ironically having no clue how to find the *magic* in the appeal of these kinds of stories. And of course there's the ever-growing subgenre of superhero movies, which really only disappointed this year because they arrived in the wake of 2012′s The Avengers, not simply because most of the output was sequels (Iron Man 3; Thor: The Dark World; The Wolverine) that were merely okay rather than totally awesome.
As I've noted in the past, I don't consider Gravity to be sci-fi (even after learning that some tech in the film doesn't exist yet), but I'll let it be known that if I were to qualify the outer space thriller, I'd put it in the number 6 slot on account of its gripping visual storytelling and little else. As for another popular choice (one that made a few FSR staffer's best of lists, as well as our democratically voted top 10), Pacific Rim might have made this list if it went to 15, as there are a few scenes I like amidst the dumb, clunky spectacle. And it was still better than Oblivion, After Earth and maybe even Elysium. And definitely better than Star Trek Into Darkness. Regarding other omissions, I haven't seen About Time, which seems unfortunate after realizing how much of this year's best sci-fi involves love stories. I also haven't seen any of the animated features that might qualify. Of course, lists like these aren't meant to be set in stone. Maybe there's an obscure foreign fantasy film out there that technically was officially released on DVD in the U.S. and could have made the cut.
Hopefully some of my choices are unfamiliar to you, and you go and check them out. I want to encourage smart, creative and visually stunning sci-fi and fantasy movies, because otherwise one day we're just going to be stuck with garbage like Sharknado.
13. Beautiful Creatures
The one surprisingly decent YA adaptation this year was the one that didn't seem to be trying to ape the hits of the past. Sure, there is something Twilight-esque in there being a romance between a fantasy creature — this time a witch — and a mortal human, but whatever, that's a scenario going back many millennia to the dawn of storytelling. Written for the screen and directed by Richard LaGravenese (who also scripted Behind the Candelabra this year), Beautiful Creatures is more like a relic from the '90s, when everyone was slipping in copies or mentions of Vonnegut, and Tim Burton was still enjoyable. But the real delight is in the performances, from the campy Southern Gothic charms of Emma Thompson, Emmy Rossum and Jeremy Irons to the more grounded Alice Englert, who is a tremendous new talent and is worth watching this movie solely for that reason.
12. Riddick
It's quite the norm for Westerns (including the Eastern samurai variety) to be reworked into sci-fi stories. Just throw the situations into outer space and you've got a whole new movie. This third installment in the Riddick franchise is only sci-fi for the fact that it features hover bikes and unfamiliar "alien" creatures in place of horses and Native Americans. Otherwise, it belongs on the list of best Westerns of 2013. One thing I really love about the movie is that it feels like a transitional piece yet it isn't necessarily. Riddick (Vin Diesel) is stranded on a strange planet and it doesn't matter how or why (though the explanation is given). The only objective is for him to survive and find a way off. And he survives and finds a way off, dealing with obstacles of different sorts along the way. The ending is not a cliff hanger but it does promise a continuation in a fashion that doesn't require another film so much as it feeds our imagination. If it wasn't so inappropriate for young viewers I could see a movie like this inspiring kids to further the adventures of Riddick on their own in their backyards.
11. The History of Future Folk
One 2013 release about folk singers is the best fiction film of the year (Inside Llewyn Davis), yet it doesn't have aliens and laser guns and a threat to the human race, so really it could have been better. Fortunately we also got the theatrical run of John Mitchell and Jeremy Kipp Walker's original indie sci-fi flick, which many discovered and fell in love with at Fantastic Fest 2012. It's about a pair of soldiers from the planet Hondo who've been tasked with destroying the present Earth dwellers so that their kind can re-inhabit the planet. But they discover music and realize that humans can't deserve extinction. Also, they become a cult favorite in the NYC folk music scene. It's not a big expensive movie but it also never feels cheap or in need of greater production value or special effects. And as the two leads, Nils d'Aulaire and Jay Klaitz have a lot of charm and chemistry. I'd watch them in a sequel or in something else, maybe anything declined by Simon Pegg and Nick Front that would be better with a much tamer duo.
10. Man of Steel
I came into this reboot worried about how much it was going to rehash a lot of the material from Superman and Superman II, both of which are among my favorite superhero movies of all time. What made it a new entity most for me is in the way writers David S. Goyer and Christopher Nolan focused on the sci-fi elements of Superman's origins and his existence on Earth as an extraterrestrial. The opening sequence on Krypton is some of the best otherworld-building space adventure sci-fi action material we've seen in at least a decade. And once we get to Earth — specifically Smallville and Metropolis — it's an alien invasion movie not unlike The History of Future Folk. One guy wants to wipe out the humans and terraform the planet for Kryptonian settlement while the other guy wants coexistence among the people of Earth. However, this one is expensive and filled with lots of effects and it is a marvelous, epic blockbuster. Exciting from start to finish. And if you have any issues with some of the choices in the third act, you're probably taking it too seriously.
9. Grabbers
And another alien invasion movie. This one is of the very familiar sort of a small town being overrun with creepy creatures from outer space. The model, with its mix of comedy and horror and sci-fi, very rarely gets old, and if everyone got excited about its recent return in the UK with Attack the Block they should be into this one as well. Directed by Jon Wright (who is now working on a bigger movie involving robots and Ben Kingsley), Grabbers is entirely based on an Irish stereotype joke by centering on squid-like aliens who feed on human blood, but only if the blood doesn't have a lot of alcohol in it. So the big standoff involves all the townsfolk getting hammered at the local tavern. It works because the joke is just background for a sweet and funny story of the two cops who save the day and fall in love. Also, I love the wordplay employed with the aliens needing to stay wet but "dry" and the people needing to stay dry but "wet."
8. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Related to what I like about Riddick, there's something about a middle installment of any trilogy that offers a sense of existential enjoyment. It's not the beginning nor the end, and looked at on its own it's representative of what fantasy adventure stories are all about: grand, continuous storytelling with little importance in origins and conclusions. Aside from the moral fables, early mythological stories were about the bracketed chapters of an ongoing odyssey, and that's how The Desolation Smaug comes across more than any other Tolkien installment from Peter Jackson. The proof is in the isolated thrills of the river escape sequence or the giant spider attack or the inconsequentially failed plan to cover a fire-breathing dragon in molten gold — all fabulous on their own. Smaug ends with a sudden cliff-hanger meant to have us needing to return to the story in a year, but I'm thinking I'd prefer to pretend like that third part doesn't exist. It certainly doesn't matter.

B'Tselem welcomed today's security cabinet decision, to ease the export from the Gaza Strip. The organization expressed its hope that the change of policy stems from an understanding that Israel must stop using its control over the crossings with Gaza for collective punishment of its population.
Strawberries harvested for export in the Gaza Strip. Photo: Suhaib Salem, Reuters, 28 Nov. 2010.
The true test of this decision, however, is in its implementation. The closure of crossings and the virtual elimination of Gaza's foreign trade have paralyzed its economy almost completely, and recovery will be a slow process. In the past, even while allowing import and export, Israel placed arbitrary restrictions that impaired trade. Israel must take all necessary steps, subject to security restrictions, to allow the free flow of goods. Furthermore, Gazan businesses must be allowed to trade with the Israeli market, which formed an important share of Gaza's past.

Fighting in the Democratic Republic of Congo is threatening to plunge the country into another civil war.
There are reports of widespread rape, murder and pillaging.
The United Nations says as many as 100,000 people may be cut off in the fighting and in desperate need of aid.
Many aid organizations have already evacuated to neighboring countries due to the fighting. But Samaritan's Purse is one of the only agencies going in to the country despite the risks.
CBN News spoke with the Christian ministry by telephone.
"As a Christian organization, we have the mandate of doing what Christ did on the earth, which was to help with people's physical needs and to help with their spiritual needs," said Dr. Warren Cooper. "Here we have a huge population that's in crisis that needs help. And I think that if we're going to take this mandate seriously this is where we have to be."
The recent outbreak of fighting has forced more than a quarter of a million people out of their homes.

What Generation Gap? These Grads Feel Great About Their Famous Parents
They have one common trait: they seem astonishingly at ease with their parents and even with their parents' ideas, although they may disagree. Perhaps the prominent parents are more understanding; perhaps the young people themselves are particularly intelligent. Perhaps it is only pure luck. The evidence here does not make the generation gap an obsolete worry. But it does suggest that the gap is passable terrain.

"I think I've established my own identity here at Brandeis," says Christie Ann Hefner, daughter of Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner. "I don't think people here have thought of me as his daughter." Though her parents are divorced, she gets on fine with both. This year Christie graduates summa cum laude in English and American Literature and will do some writing before going back to school for more classes—and perhaps another degree. "She is just another pretty, serious girl," says a classmate. In fact, the first attention drawn by her father's influence were two bodyguards who appeared at her side two months ago—hired by Hefner after the Hearst abduction.
Frederick Borman
It is not surprising that Frederick Borman went to West Point. His father Frank, the former astronaut, graduated eighth in his class in 1950, two years before Fred was born. Young Borman, now 22, acknowledges that his academic prowess isn't up to his dad's. He admits that the academy's major attraction was football. His father was a star quarterback, and young Borman was a varsity player until a neck ailment sidelined him last fall. He has a five-year obligation in the army but then plans to leave, with his parents' approval. Being an astronaut "never really interested" him. Has a famous name caused trouble? "That's what I like about this place," he says, "you're just another pea in the pod."
Jamie Bernstein
"I grew up," says Jamie Anne Maria Bernstein, daughter of composer Leonard Bernstein, "in an atmosphere where unless your life is in the arts, you're a failure, and unless it's well done, you're a failure. That leaves you little room to move in." Jamie, seen here clowning with classmate and friend Sam Perkins, has done all right, however. She is graduating from Harvard with an English major and planning a career in fiction or journalism. Although music appeals to her and she plays guitar, sings and composes, she shies from considering it as a livelihood, "for obvious reasons. I'm perfectly talented," she says, "but not a genius." Her mother, a Costa Rican-born actress and pianist, had a promising career of her own but dropped it to raise the three Bernstein children, of whom Jamie is eldest. She gets along well with her parents who, like her, worked hard for Eugene McCarthy's candidacy in 1968. "It was the last time I had a hero," she says wistfully. "Nobody has living heroes now."
Mark Harmon
Being Michigan football star Tom Harmon's son could be tough on a growing boy, but it hasn't bothered Mark Harmon, who graduates from UCLA this year. He credits his father and mother, former actress Elyse Knox. "It could have hurt," he says, "if the rule had been, 'You're Tom Harmon's son until proven different.' But they never pushed." Still, Harmon was good enough last season to quarterback UCLA's varsity team, although he doesn't plan a pro career. He will either go into advertising or law—he feels the contract field is ripe for an attorney with sports savvy. He greatly admires his parents. "I'd love to be able to know I could raise my kids the way they did," he says. "We have no major hassles."
Liz Abzug
The sharp tongue and pointed wit that have made Manhattan Congresswoman Bella Abzug prominent are clearly inherited by her daughter Isabel, who graduates this year from Boston University. The 21-year-old woman, who goes by the name Liz (and who at right gets a congratulatory buss from her father, Martin, a stockbroker), has earned her degree in psychology, as well as a green belt in karate and a reputation as a fierce tennis player. Like mother, Liz will study law but will forego politics. What has she learned from her mother? "You might ask," she replied, "what did Bella learn from her daughter."
Cathy Schoendienst
As the daughter of Red Schoendienst, former second baseman and now manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, Cathy Schoendienst comes by her sports verve naturally. Graduating from St. Mary's College of South Bend, Ind., 21-year-old Cathy is captain of the school's championship fencing team. "If I were a man," she says, "I'd be playing shortstop for the Cardinals next year. Dad would like that." Instead, she plans to teach. Any disagreements at home? "It's a little touch and go when talking about contemporary moral issues."
Beth Reasoner
Beth Reasoner of Pitzer College, Claremont, Calif., is the daughter of ABC anchorman Harry Reasoner and is a shy, thoughtful woman of 23. An anthropology major, she would like to study law, as her mother did. "She reasons like a lawyer and it is very attractive," says Beth. "One area of law that interests me is the legal rights of minors." She currently takes part in legal seminars and research projects and is a voracious reader—even in the dining room. She took six months off to teach in Appalachia and "loved it." She sees her family only on vacations now. "We don't disagree on ethics, only minor things, like clothes. And then we just joke about it."
Peggy St. Clair
Her father's national prominence is something recent, but to Peggy St. Clair, daughter of James St. Clair, President Nixon's chief defense counsel in the Watergate affair, Dad has always been well-known in the Boston area where she has grown up. She graduates this year from Boston College law school and is determined to pass the tough Massachusetts bar exam. The eldest of three children, she considers herself such a liberated woman that she doesn't worry about enjoying cooking and fixing up her apartment. As to her career: "I consider my father one of the best attorneys around. I hope for nothing less for myself."
Judi Dash
"There was never a time when I didn't want to be a lawyer," says Judi Dash, whose father, Sam Dash, is chief counsel of the Senate Watergate Committee. Judi graduates this year from Brown University and has been accepted at the University of Pennsylvania law school, where a year from now she will begin her study. Meanwhile she will travel to Caracas, Venezuela to be with her fiance, Frank Amador, an industrial engineer she met four years ago. He is Catholic, while she and her family are strongly Jewish. "We think we'll be enriched by having both cultures," she says, and both families have given approval. She admires her parents, especially her mother, who helped put her father through law school. She feels close to her father as well and appreciates little poems he sends to her on special occasions. (A Valentine sample: "I passed your room today, and saw it empty still..."). She took a special pride in watching him during the televised Watergate hearings. "Sometimes I forgot it was my father."
Lisa Brothers
"I decided to be a doctor at the age of 5," boasts Lisa Brothers, a Princeton biology major, "right after I decided I wanted to be a circus performer." But Lisa has stuck with her choice to follow in the footsteps of her physician father, rather than those of her better-known mother, popular psychologist Joyce Brothers. Once when Lisa griped that a syndicated television show was taking up too much of her mother's time, Joyce Brothers promptly quit. "I haven't been uptight about her career since," says Lisa. Her parents made sure medicine was Lisa's idea, not theirs. "Well," Joyce admits, "perhaps we did use a little body English." The hardest part of medical school, which she will attend at Tulane in New Orleans, will be the separation from her parents, whom she has seen virtually every week during her four years at college. "It's been a very normal life, and that's probably one of the reasons I don't think I'm screwed up." Looking at a map of their country home in New Jersey (above), Lisa told her mother: "I wish we could take New Orleans and plop it down here in New Jersey."
Michael Blatty
Michael Blatty of Georgetown University is the son of William Peter Blatty, which means that everyone the young man meets wants to talk about his Dad's book and movie, The Exorcist. Michael does not. "I'm sort of shy," he says, waving off the questions. Young Blatty is gentle and soft-spoken, married and the father of a four-month-old son. He and his wife are both English majors (she will be a senior), and the three young Blattys will spend next year in Nice, France, where he will read, write and brush up on his French. He describes his relation with his father as close and casual, but admits that the one subject the two of them do not discuss is the one activity they share: writing.
Alexander Haig Jr.
Alexander Haig Jr., of Georgetown University, is the son of President Nixon's chief of staff. He majored in history, captained the lacrosse team ("strike a balance between athletics and academics" his father advised) and plans to study law. His parents would have been happier, he says, if he had gone to West Point. He lived with them during his college years and is glad he did. "My father isn't home that much," he says. "I see him a couple of nights a week, but I agree with him just about in total. If I didn't get along with them, I wouldn't have lived at home." Although his father is in the headlines every day now, the fame is only recently acquired. "A lot of people," says Alexander Haig Jr., "don't even know who I am."
Edwina Brooke
When Edwina Brooke graduated from Boston University, she got a big hug from one of the trustees, who also was her father, Massachusetts Senator Edward Brooke, the first black senator since Reconstruction. Edwina, who received an education degree, will forego teaching—she calls herself "lazy"—and instead travel to Paris to be near her fiance. He is a medical student whom she met in the Caribbean. They plan to marry later this year. While going to college she lived at home, relatively sheltered from the harsh publicity that often intrudes upon a politician's family life. At graduation she was asked how it felt to be the daughter of Senator Brooke. "He's my father," she answered, "that's all."

A large percentage of the high water bill complaints we receive are due to lawn sprinkler systems. Broken sprinkler heads (as seen above), underground leaks in the system, or overly long clock settings can result in large quanities of water being wasted and subsequent high bills. Don't set it and forget it, be sure to check your sprinkler settings and operation regularly.
Water Service Line Insurance Mailing
It has come to our attention that a mailing was sent to Scarsdale Residents regarding insurance for household water service lines. This company has no relationship with the Village and the Village is not involved in any manner with this solicitation. Also please note that the Village is responsible for repair of the service line from the street (water main) connection to the curb stop (shut off valve) near the curb, the homeonwer is only responsible for a leak between the curb stop and the house.
The Village of Scarsdale receives all of its water from the New York City Water Supply System. The Village has a direct connection to New York City's Catskill Aqueduct and a connection, with others, to the Kensico Reservoir and Delaware Aqueduct. The Village owns and services 100 miles of water mains and services approximately 5,600 accounts.
All of the water delivered is chlorinated to assure that the water remains bacteria free. Flouride is also added for public health measures. In addition, pH is adjusted and orthophosphate is added for corrosion control treatment.
Monitoring of the water quality is conducted every day. Daily tests are conducted by water department personnel. Other required monitoring tests are conducted by New York State Certified Laboratories.
Discolored Water
Discolored water occurs when sediment in the water mains is stirred up by high water flow. This can typically occur when hydrants are being flushed; during a water main break; or during Fire Department activity. Hydrant flushing is normally scheduled in the spring as noted above.
The water is disinfected but you may want to wait for it to clear up completely before consuming it. Though the water is safe it may stain clothes if washed in it. Try to avoid using the hot water when the cold water is discolored because you may draw sediment into the hot water system and this sediment may end up settling in the bottom of your the water tank. Also, minimize the flushing of toilets in order to reduce the risk of potential clogging of small tubes and devices within the toilet.
Water Rates
The Village purchases water from New York City utilizing roughly half of our budgeted expenditures for this purpose. The balance of expenditures fund the operation and maintenance of the water pumping and distribution system.
New York City charges the Village separate base and excess water rates based on consumption. They utilize a per-capita water use threshold to establish the base rate based on the per-capita usage in New York City. When Village wide water consumption exceeds New York City's aggregate per capita usage threshold, they charge the Village at the excess rate which is approximately 3.5 times the base rate.
As a suburban, single family residential community of large homes and properties requiring irrigation, Scarsdale's per capita water use is substantially higher than New York City's. As such the Village pays for a considerable amount of water at the excess rate. Scarsdale's water rates are established and adjusted periodically to reflect the New York City rates while maintaining fairness and equity relative to other Westchester municipal water utilities.
Since the Village's last increase of the water rates in 2012, the New York City base rate has increased 23.3% and the New York City excess rate has increased by 12.9%. As a result the Village increased our base rate by 5% for 2014. We still maintain one of the lowest water rates in Westchester County.
Water meters are read and billed quarterly, except for large water users which are billed monthly. Quarterly bills are mailed to users on February 1st, May 1st, August 1st and November 1st of each year and are due no later than the end of each of those months.
Present Water Rates (Beginning with April 1, 2016 water use)
Present Service Charges per Quarter for all accounts, (for monthly accounts the service fee is divided by 3 and billed monthly):
Arthur Boniface Water Tower
The Boniface Water Tower, was designated an American Water Landmark in 1989 by the American Water Works Association. It contains a 1.7 million gallon steel water tank, was built in 1929, and is designed to give the Village water in reserve for emergency situations and for times of heavy demand. The steel structure is surrounded by a handsome masonry structure resembling the old Martello Towers of England. The structure was originally known as the Grange Standpipe and later the Garden Road Standpipe. In 1943 the Village Board of Trustees renamed it the Arthur Boniface Water Tower in memory of the late Arthur Boniface, who served the Village from 1918 to 1943 - on the Board of Trustees and as both Village Engineer and Village Manager. The water tower has been used continuously since it was built.

Jack the Ripper is arguably the ultimate detective game. Based on the sensational Jack the Ripper murders in 19th century London, your job is to deduce the killer's identity before he strikes again. Gameplay consists of highlighting text obtained by interrogation or search to record them as clues (or "premises" in the game's lingo) in your notebook. Then you must combine these premises logically to derive the solution. This novel method makes for a mostly static and "dry" game consisting of reams of text, but patient Sherlock Holmes fans who cherish abstract deduction will find this an ideal game to follow in Holme's footsteps.

We're up early in Missouri Valley, Iowa. I forget if we're meeting at 7:30 or 8:00 for breakfast, and I split the difference, finding Bob and Glenn waiting for me in the lobby when I carry two of my bags out to the van at 7:45. We go nearby to a small restaurant in the back of a gas station and convenience store where there's a small breakfast buffet. We talk about George Carlin who just died. We had talked about him in the van one day, I can't remember why. My favorite memories of him are from the old John Davidson summer musical revue show where Carlin in his early (much straighter) years used to mock the bizarrre, rapid fire vocal styles of top-40 disc jockeys. "Wonderful WINO!"
I drive from Missouri Valley to Woodbine along route 30, and we arrive at the Brick Street Station around 9 am. Marshall Scichilone (who owns and runs the old drive-through gas station converted to a coffeehouse) has invited Woodbine's mayor and city clerk to come and meet us, and the smart young woman who puts together local newspaper, the Woodbine Twiner, is there too with her camera.
It's one of those situations where everybody is a little awkward and off-kilter because the TV crew is there. Bob gets b-roll shots. We interview several folks. Marshall's sister-in-law, Norma, is baking pies and cinammon rolls in the little kitchen at the one end of the place. It's homey and small town and charming. The baked goods are the great unifier. Everyone is charmed by the smells coming from the oven. There's a coconut cream pie already sitting on the counter. We're told there's a berry and a lemon meringue on the way.
The whole place is decorated with a remember-the-good-old-days theme, much of it enhanced with Lincoln Highway signs and memorabilia.
Woodbine has lots of charms, but its long stretch of bricked roadway is what convinced us to turn in here originally as we passed by on Route 30 last year.
We didn't know there would be sublime cinammon rolls iced with peanut butter. A great combination.
We hang around and shoot and interview till we think we've got the structure of a story or at least a snapshot of this place and some opinions on how a small town can try to capitalize on the highway in a world where American history tourism is getting more popular all the time.
We also go to the other end of Woodbine to another old portico-front gas station where we meet Elaine Ehlert who collects Lincoln Highway "stuff" (she says she loves that word) and she's put together several displays that feature pictures, maps and highlights of the highway as it passes through 13 states. She has books of photos old and new (including her incredible photo documentation of the preservation of the brick Lincoln Way in 2002 when it was re-done meticulously and beautifully.)
We also meet Elaine's sister, Linda and her two grandsons whom we draft into service as "people walking by on the sidewalk."
After our visit with Elaine, we go back to the Brick Street Station for lunch. Chicken salad sandwiches are one of today's specials, and we all get those. There's a group of people from the University of Iowa (or maybe Iowa State) who are in Woodbine today working on the Main Street Initiative or something like that, and they're expected back here soon for lunch too. We foresee that the choice of pie flavor may become an issue, so Glenn and Bob and I all make sure we get a piece of Norma's mixed berry beauty. With ice cream.
Bob and Glenn rig up our little camera mount on the side of the van and they go off to get some unusual angles on the brick streets. I stay at the Station to talk for a few minutes with Nikki Davis from the Twiner who has come back to interview me (and to perhaps more importantly to get a root beer float.)
It's a great small town, a cool little converted gas station, and we hope we can convince more folks to make the small detour into Woodbine when they're zipping across the USA on the old Lincoln Highway. It surprisingly feels like home.

Vu, Hugh L. MD, MPH*; Panchal, Jayesh MBA, MD, FRCS†; Parker, Ellen E. MD‡; Levine, Norman S. MD§; Francel, Paul MD, PhD¶
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the normal physiologic timing of the closure of the metopic suture in non-craniosynostotic patients.
Methods: This clinical study involved a consecutive series of infants and young children who underwent 3D CT-scan evaluation for deformational plagiocephaly or suspected traumatic head injury. All patients with evidence of craniosynostosis were excluded from the study. Every infant and child referred to our Craniofacial Team for deformational plagiocephaly between 1997 and 2000 (n = 84) received a baseline pre-treatment 3D CT-scan of the head. Our study also included a series of selected pediatric trauma patients (1 to 24 months of age) between 1997 and 2000 (n = 75) who received CT-scan to rule out head injury. The CT scan results were reviewed for closure of metopic suture by a single observer.
Results: The earliest evidence of metopic suture closure was at 3 months, the age at which 33% of patients (4/12) were closed. At 5 months of age, 59% (13/22) of sutures were closed. At 7 months of age, 65% (15/23) were closed. At 9 months of age, 100% (10/10) were closed. All patients greater than 9 months of age within the study had complete metopic suture closure.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that normal or physiologic closure of the metopic suture occurs much earlier than what has been previously described. This study establishes that metopic fusion may normally occur as early as 3 months of age, and that complete fusion occurred by 9 months of age in all patients in our series. Therefore, 3-D CT scans showing complete closure of the metopic suture at an early age (3 to 9 months) cannot be considered as evidence of metopic synostosis, and thus, should not be the decisive factor for early surgical intervention.

doors dont lock
when we arrived they showed us our room. I didn't notice that the tv stand was hiding the sliding glass balcony doors. after unpacking I noticed that there was no cutlery or pans or plates. which makes the kitchen useless to us.I saw the door as we left for dinner. better check if it locks, nope. the desk told us first of all that the cutlery etc.. was locked up for the night. then they showed us 5 more rooms one of which locked ( the one without a sliding glass door). we stayed as it was getting late. In the morning the maid brought us one pan,one pot,2 plates,2 cups, and one super cheap stamped fork knife spoon combo(thats one set to share) still in the dollar store package. the owner wouldn't give us a discount because we got to use the kitchen in the morning. the workers there seemed nice. Livingstone assured me no white people had been robbed since he started working security. It looks nice and if you have no worrys about locking anything up. try it out
