Steven Cohen and the Jews-hate-Jesus campaign
I received some fan mail two weeks ago that I've been meaning to indulge. It was from George Brooks, an African-American minister from Tennessee who has been leading a campaign against the re-election of U.S. Rep. Steve Cohen, the only white congressman from a predominantly black district.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal says Cohen is the best candidate for Congress. But though he authored a resolution passed yesterday by the House that apologized for slavery, Cohen's whiteness has been a major distraction.
To boot, Cohen is a Cohen, and Memphis is in the South and, well, black-Jewish relations just aren't what they used to be. This winter, the self-righteous Rev. Brooks distributed the incredibly inflammatory flier at left (hi-res). Subtlety, we can be sure, is not Brooks' forte.
In the envelope I received this month, Brooks had toned down his message. One flier, picturing the side-by-side mugs of Cohen and a black Jesus, carried this headline: "I LOUDLY repeat: Steve Cohen is 'ANTI-JESUS' And dere ain't nuttin' anti-Semitic 'bout dat, it is the TRUTH!" The other blamed Jews, via Cohen's proxy, for a few really vile social ills—the Tennessee Lottery and an initiative to legalize medical marijuana nationwide.
And Barack Obama's camp thinks they've had to deal with smear campaigns ...
The third sheet of paper was addressed to me, but my name had cleared by filled into a template Brooks sends to those identifies as his Jewish foes:
So many things wrong with that paragraph, from spelling and syntax to arrogance and inaccuracy, I don't even know where to start.

One prison inmate carried the letter around in his pocket all day, touching it from time to time to reassure himself that it was real.
Another wrote to say that the letter from public defender Brad Bridge was ''an answer to my prayers."
Testimonials like these fuel the urgency Bridge feels about finding those wrongly convicted because of the criminal acts of six rogue police officers
from the city's 39th District; nine more drug convictions were thrown out yesterday. He thinks about the hundreds of people still sitting in jail, or dealing with criminal records they don't deserve.

Hmm, not that I know of, so if you come up with one, would you please share that?
Maybe the ooRexx syntax-highlighting for vim could be of help in your endeavor? If so, here is a

Labor Secretary Reich Unveils Workplace Fire Safety Tips
Note: That Workplace Fires and Explosions Kill 200 Each Year, Destroy $2.3 Billion of Property
Fire safety becomes everyone's job at a worksite, Secretary of Labor Robert B. Reich said today as he unveiled a list of workplace fire safety tips in observation of National Fire Prevention Week. Workplace fires and explosions kill 200 and injure more than 5,000 workers each year. In 1995, more than 75,000 workplace fires cost businesses more than $2.3 billion.
"Fires wreak havoc among workers and their families and destroy thousands of businesses each year, putting people out of work and severely impacting their livelihoods," Reich said. "The human and financial toll underscores the serious nature of workplace fires."
Reich made his remarks to recognize National Fire Prevention Week, which runs this year from October 6-12.
"There is a long and tragic history of workplace fires in this country," Reich said. "One of the most notable was the 1911 fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City, in which nearly 150 women and young girls died because of locked fire exits and inadequate fire extinguishing systems. That tragedy helped put basic workplace safety and health considerations on the national agenda."
Reich urged employers to survey their workplaces to determine whether they have adequate readily accessible fire exits, fire alarm systems, the proper number and types of fire extinguishers, proper and rehearsed fire evacuation plans.
Under Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, employees have the right to complain to OSHA about fire hazards in their workplaces. If employees request it, OSHA will keep their identities confidential to avoid the possibility of reprisals by their employers.
Fire safety tips Reich listed are:
Eliminate Fire Hazards: Keeping workspaces free of waste paper and other combustibles, replacing damaged electrical cords and avoiding overloaded circuits.
Prepare for Emergencies: Making sure all smoke detectors work, knowing who to call in an emergency and participating in fire drills.
Report Fires and Emergencies Promptly: Sounding the fire alarm and calling the fire department.
Evacuate Safely: Leaving the area quickly in an emergency, using stairs instead of the elevator, and helping your coworkers.
A single free copy of an OSHA Program Highlight on Workplace Fire Safety and a copy of OSHA Booklet 3088, "How to Prepare for Workplace Emergencies," may be obtained by sending a self-addressed label to the U.S. Department of Labor, OSHA/OSHA Publications, PO Box 37535, Washington DC 20013.

This wasn't a souerkraut related illness, was it?
I woke up with strep throat/tonsilitis this morning (the test was inconclusive so apparently I have one or the other according to the doctor) and they put me on 10 days of anti-biotics.
One I finish these 10 days, what should I do to get my system back in working order? If I go to walgreens and purchase a bottle of pro-biotics will this be enough to kick me back into gear or should I consider anything else?
This wasn't a souerkraut related illness, was it?
Acidophilus Pearls is a good commercial brand. It comes in blister packs in a small, flat rectangular box. WalMart has the best price on these that I've seen. Some FAGE Total Greek yogurt would also be good. When I had strep a few years back, FAGE was the most soothing food during that time. You have to read your Rx instructions though as many antibiotics have specific directions re: dairy products.
Hope you're feeling better soon.
Here is a good MDA thread all about probiotics... many good brands recommended here:
My own personal experience with antibiotics has been terrible. I took them last year for injuries resulting from a car accident, and they drained me of a significant amount of strength. I've been taking probiotics ever since, but unfortunately haven't experienced any recoup of the lost function.
A couple of the reviews of the powdered inulin (*pre*biotic) product below say that taking it along with their probiotics produced a noticeable benefit (i.e. the probiotics seemed to work better):
I'm planning to give this a try sometime soon.
Test inconclusive? How odd, I thought strep tests were really clear-cut these days.
Whatever it is, probiotics are good. Fage actually only has two "bugs" in it -- might want to try Stonyfield instead, or mix the two, or whatever. Stonyfield has five or six, as I recall. (under the "more is better!" theory...)
Thanks guys, I'll does up on greek yogurt and whatnot then once i finish these pills. Thanks for the advice!
Inconclusive couldn't this also mean you don't have a bacteria infection, which is the only reason to use antibiotics. Colds and sore throat are usually caused by a virus infection, so antibiotics do nothing if this is the case.
The rapid strep test and the culture can tell your doctor if you have strep throat. If something else is causing your sore throat, these tests do not tell what it is.
Maybe someone more familiar with the tests can give some input, but I think your doc may just be quick to prescribe antibiotics.
His words: "it could be viral but take these just in case"

Something that I've been wanting to make for children for some time now are little button pins. This year, I was able to borrow a 1" button maker from a generous friend, and so I decided to make buttons for Adelaide's little friends who would be attending her birthday party.
I have found that little children really love and seem to appreciate having items personalized especially for them, so already knew that I wanted to make first-name-initial pins for them. However, I found myself procrastinating and a couple of days before the party I had yet to even begin. Because of the lack of time, I ended up doing a quick computer search through my old work for inspiration (something I often when looking to create something on the fly). I came across a flyer I had done for our neighbourhood parent-and-tot group years back now, and realised that I could easily pick and choose from my already-made-file to create cute portrait buttons for each child.
Technically, it was easy and fairly quick to modify my Adobe Illustrator file for each child's portrait, as they are composed of just a few simple shapes. The biggest challenge really was trying to correctly recall 18 children's hair styles and eye colours! But when each child's quickie portrait was done, I would show it to Adelaide, and found that she could enthusiastically identify each child. Relief!
Once all of the letter and portraits were finished, we printed them out onto regular paper and Adelaide was able to help me load up the button maker to pop out the buttons - a rather satisfying job which only took a few minutes.
I am always a little bit nervous, when making things for people, that they will end up being disregarded and simple tossed aside. This is especially so when creating things for little children. But I have been rewarded, and have found little children seem to love, appreciate and just know when things have been made especially for them.
And it was lovely to have one usually shy little boy grab me aside many days later, to show me that he had his little buttons pinned proudly onto his winter coat. Once he was sure I had seen, he flashed me a big grin, and then he was gone.

Featured Golf News
People You Might Not Want to Play With Again
Right from the top, anyone reading this knows that professional golf is not what we play. Some golfers have peculiarities that make them, shall we say, not desirable as playing partners. For example . . .
As technology has advanced in equipment, so has the techno-babble on the golf course. Now that we have entered the age of acronyms where the two have combined for some really boring company.
Yeah, Paul. I got this new putter with an MOI of 413, says Homer.
Whats an MOI? asks hapless Paul, looking up from his putt as he prepares to stroke it.
Moment of inertia, I thought everyone knew that. Its real important if youre gonna play good golf.
Paul nods and proceeds to can a 13-footer with his ancient Cash-In putter.
Homer carefully sets his ball down 5 inches from the cup and picks up his marker. He looks at it, waiting for Paul admiring comments. Paul doesnt even notice, so Homer tells him it is an authentic ball marker from St. Andrews. Paul notices a black dot atop Homers ball. Figures its his mark. But then he sees a red H on the side. Before he can ask about the dot, Homer stands and announces that he got this device that gives you the true point of balance of the ball. Very important in putting, he says before jerking the tap-in to the right.
They move to the next tee. Homer inquires as to the volume of Pauls driver. Paul pleads ignorance. Homer tells him to look on the bottom where it lists the volume. It says Pittsburgh Persimmon, notes Paul.
Oh, thats an oldie. That used to be a good, first metal wood used on Tour. Obsolete now. My driver, continues the sage, is 460 ccs, beta titanium with a cup face.
Paul has honors (again) and knocks the ball a bit over 220 yards. It wouldve gone further if youd teed it up higher, says Homer, who then places his ball black dot up on a 6-inch-long tee and swings mightily. He ends up on his back foot as his ball airmails Pauls on its way to the adjacent fairway. See, these new babies can knock the crap out of it.
Paul is by this time trying to fake a coronary, or even a miscarriage, in order to get away from the relentless guy hes paired with. Getting to Pauls ball first, Homer examines it and exclaims, Good God, this is a Staff. These are crappola, man! Now I play an Astro Flyer, 497 double-demophoric titanitized dimples. Man, look at the carry I got!
Paul protests, But its in the other fairway.
Homer smiles, Hell man, thats the way Tiger and Phil and Bubba play. Its nuevo golfo, amigo.
It takes three shots for Homer to get back onto the correct fairway. Both players have a wedge to the green. I like to use a club with a loft of 49 degrees for this shot, proclaims Homer, With a bounce of 11.5 degrees.
Sounds good, agonizes Paul as he bumps a nine-iron to within 2 feet. Homer takes dead aim, and bunkers.
Are you getting the message?
Homer, you may think, is a composite, and he probably is. But there are individuals out there who are one-person composites, just like Homer. The guy who has a swing tip every time you pick up the club or fail to hit a decent shot. Did you see Peter Kostis analysis of Tigers swing?
Peter Kostiss slo-mo commentaries are, to me, the worst thing that has happened to golf since beer was banned from the course. Not only does he make experts out of idiots, he introduces stuff a lot golfers do not want crowding their already overtaxed cerebrums.
I am one of these, and I know others.
Its not that Homer is a bad guy, even if youd like to bash him in the noggin with your 200-gram, 427-cc driver with a coefficient of restitution (COR) of 817. Hes like the guy with the cell phone, a family man and hard worker who comes to the course not to play, but to talk and display his importance.
Well, this digression has worn me out just remembering these types. When Ive recovered we may examine the golfer off-course.
Hi Ed, hows it going? Well Ted, I hit my drive 300 yards on No. 1, 280 on the second, took a 5 and got it on the green and had a left to right downhill 30-footer and . . .
Enough already.
Bob Spiwak took up golf in 1953 as a respite from the rigors of selling bibles door-to-door in North Dakota. Though suffering a four-year lapse, hes back to being a fanatical golfer. Spiwak has written articles for almost every golf magazine in the Western world. Bobs most treasured golf antiquity is a nod he got from Gerald Ford at the 1990 Golf Summit. Spiwak lives in Mazama, Wash., with his wife and several pets next to his fabled ultraprivate Whispering Rattlesnakes Golf & Flubbers Club.

OXFORD – Oxford-University Transit has made a lot of fans since its inception nearly three years ago, but changing buses has been one of a few rough spots.
Since the system's start, passengers have changed between the Red and Blue routes – the major north-south and east-west circuits – on the Square.
"Trucks come through, and it's pretty tight," said system manager Ron Biggs. "Some of the citizens really don't like the buses sitting up on the Square with their engines running for several minutes during the transfers."
Plans are to move the Red-Blue transfer point from the Square to the Old Armory, the system's current shop and office facility, where the two routes also overlap. Biggs said the building would provide shelter and restrooms – something the Square can't offer when the Lafayette County Courthouse and Oxford City Hall are closed.
"Once 5 o'clock hits, there are not restrooms available on the Square. At this location, both the drivers and the public can have access to restrooms," he said. "We don't have a definite date for the change, but I'd like to have it prepared by the fall semester – early August."
Despite the Square's drawbacks, University of Mississippi student Jeremy Vick said it is a natural destination for riders.
"I think they need to leave it where it is," he said.
The "OUT" buses also have a transfer point at the Ole Miss Student Union, where Green, Yellow and Orange Routes, which mainly serve off-campus student-dominated apartments, overlap. That transfer will not be affected by the proposed change. Coincidentally, though, five new passenger shelters are planned for campus stops, along with 10 for city stops, this summer.
A new transit headquarters will be built on McElroy Drive. Much of the needed funding is already in place, but aldermen are expected next week to approve applying for another $250,000 grant to augment the existing federal and state monies.
Ground may be broken for the new OUT headquarters before year's end, but it will not affect plans for the Old Armory transfer.
"The city owns this building, so we're looking into this being the transfer point long-term," Biggs said.

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are developmental disabilities that cause substantial impairments in social interaction and communication and the presence of unusual behaviors and interests. Many people with ASDs also have unusual ways of learning, paying attention, or reacting to different sensations. The thinking and learning abilities of people with ASDs can vary—from gifted to severely challenged. An ASD begins before the age of 3 and lasts throughout a person's life.
Division of Public Health (DPH) maintains a registry for autism surveillance for children through age 18. Annual registration is required to maintain accuracy.

A. Venkatesan (University of Colorado, Boulder)
Spectroscopic studies of high-redshift objects and increasingly precise data on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) are beginning to independently place strong complementary bounds on the epoch of hydrogen reionization. Here, we present two methods of using the reionization epoch to constrain the amplitude and index of the primordial scalar power spectrum. In the first case, we combine a semi-analytic model of reionization by the first stars with CMB parameter extraction for the case of data anticipated from the MAP satellite. Alternatively, we examine the implications of an independent, e.g., spectroscopic, determination of the epoch of reionization. This second method has the potential to significantly strengthen limits from the CMB on the primordial power spectrum, while having the considerable advantage of being free of the choice of the reionization model

Burton heads back to Les Sables d'Olonne looking to repair and restart
After bouncing off a fishing boat in bad visibility and damaging his port shroud very early this morning, Louis Burton indicated this afternoon that he intends to sail the 700 miles back to the start to try and effect a suitable repair in Les Sables d'Olonne. .
The skipper of Bureau Vallée believes his ascent back across the Bay of Biscay will take him around four days. The race rules prescribe that the start line closes at 1302hrs on the Tuesday 20th of November. According to him their biggest hurdle is having to replace the custom shroud itself, the manufacture of which would normally take three weeks.
The weather is due to ease for his passage back to Les Sables d'Olonne but his immediate problem is that he cannot tack on to port. Burton said:
" My main emotion is just shock and I am pretty depressed that I have to get back to Les Sables d'Olonne.
In fact I was going through the front and had a couple of hours to go and had 30-35kts of wind. There was very poor visibility, rough seas and I had the radar and the AIS on. I was under the canopy to nap a bit and was making about 20kts. I turned my head bit and so a medium sized trawler slide along the hull. I grabbed a light to inspect the hull in a panic to see if it was OK. I was relieved but then saw the damage to the shroud. I tacked on to starboard immediately and focused first on Lisbon looking to get to land as quickly as possible.
At dawn I took some photos and sent them to the technical team to give them an indication of the level and type of damage. For sure the damage is just too much to continue like this. There might be a way to get back to Les Sables d'Olonne and away on time, but we need to make a custom piece which will not be easy because it usually takes about three weeks. For the moment I'm confident. I'm trying to get the boat back to Les Sables as quickly as possible, taking into account I can't change tack without the risk of capsizing I will try to get back to Les Sables d'Olonne as quickly as possible to save as much time for the repair.
I am still 700 miles from Les Sables d'Olonne. The conditions will weaken as of tomorrow. The routing I have just now has me getting there is four days but there are tacks on to port which I cant really make and so I am not really sure how long it will take me.
It hurts a lot because of the big investment for so long, with all the sponsors like Bureau Vallée, for the whole team. It is such a shock, a feeling of injustice. Of course it is part of the sport but a setback like this is not easy to deal with. You just don't believe it will happen."

Pianist Green, 28, plays hard bop (bebop's tough, glinting successor), but he has a beautiful soft spot for melody. On Greens, his fourth album, Green and trio mates Christian McBride (bass) and Carl Allen (drums) set the mood with the pianist's droll, bluesy title cut, built around McBride's lean and lively lines. On standards like "Time After Time," Green swings vigorously without losing the tune's musical sense, whereas on the traditional "Battle Hymn of the Republic," he loses his way in florid, overemphatic gestures.
Green's high regard for melody helps him avoid some of the pitfalls of hard bopping—nothing here is done too long or too indulgently. As he writes in the liner notes, "We're looking to have fun, not solely for the approval of other musicians but as a way of expressing the joy of being alive."
This Berkeley, Calif., native may be still in thrall to his many influences—among them Bud Powell, Errol Garner and Horace Silver—but that hasn't kept him from trying out his own repertoire of voicings. Greens is both a tribute to these masters and a testament to Green's own inventiveness. (Blue Note)

Never miss a great news story!Get instant notifications from Economic TimesAllowNot now
By Partha Sinha, TNN It's that week of the year when a large number of people rush to put money in a handful of investment products which allow investors to lighten their annual tax burden. This is because every tax saving option for the current financial year would expire on March 31. To take this opportunity of huge aggregate investments from the last-minute tax savers, the sellers of these products, like mutual fund houses, insurance companies, investment intermediaries and agents also push such products. This is a situation that is repeated year after year.

A "golden ticket," or a passport to shame?
In The Prep School Negro, premiering tonight on WHYY's Y-Info digital channel as part of the America ReFramed series, filmmaker André Robert Lee takes a look back at his experience as a boy from "the ghetto" who won a scholarship to Germantown Friends School. Established in 1845, and considered among the most prestigious prep schools in the country, GFS was "a quick bus ride away" from Lee's West Oak Lane rowhouse, a home he shared with his mother and sister.
A quick bus ride, and a world apart.
The Prep School Negro is at its best as Lee, who went to the high school at age 14 and graduated in 1989, discusses the culture shock he felt, and the awkwardness, returning to his neighborhood each day. Lee says he would actually change clothes on the way home.

Martina Devlin: The only clarification we need is the date of Reilly's resignation
Published 12/07/2012 | 17:00
ETHICS in politics should be a black and white affair -- either something is right or it's not. But in Ireland, 50 shades of grey are tolerated: a situation as inherently unhealthy as a novel you may have heard about recently which celebrates sadomasochism.
Speaking of pain and humiliation, once again citizens are subjected to standards of behaviour from within Dail Eireann which demean, chafe and try us. Step forward James Reilly, who has strayed into one of those grey areas.
When his name appeared in 'Stubbs Gazette' as a debt defaulter, anyone with raised eyebrows was assured by Dr Reilly's defenders that we were over-hasty in judging him, and under-experienced in the nuances of syndicate membership.
Fine Gael's deputy leader would use the nation's house on Kildare Street to put his own house in order: explaining why he ignored a High Court order, why his financial affairs have embarrassing kinks, and how he proposes to straighten them out.
And so last night, five entire minutes, five extravagant, profligate minutes, were set aside for this clarification in the interests of serving democracy.
In fact, five seconds would have been sufficient if the job was handled properly. There was only one short sentence the Health Minister needed to say: "I'm sorry -- I resign."
He never should have been given the health brief. If the Taoiseach believed he would be an asset to the Cabinet, he ought to have offered the doctor another ministry with no potential for conflict of interest.
His decision to appoint Dr Reilly shows dubious judgment. But I'm even more dismayed by his continued backing, in the face of a glaring conflict of interest which tests public trust. Loyalty to a colleague is to be esteemed, but loyalty to the State is more admirable again.
It is not exactly confidence-building to have a health minister with a stake in the private nursing home business, who is meanwhile pursuing a government policy of closing beds in public nursing homes.
I do not suggest that Dr Reilly has acted improperly. Indeed, he went to the Standards in Public Office Commission for guidance.
Before taking up office, he transferred his interest in the asset to a blind trust, effectively ceding control over it. He has no input in deciding when it can be sold or remortgaged, either to realise a profit or crystallise a loss.
But he ought to have done that anyway, as a member of an administration furthering the private healthcare agenda. More was needed from a health minister. The principle of public service is at war with the prospect of private gain, in the shape of that nursing home business.
In his statement to the Dail, he said he had been trying to sell his 9pc stake in the nursing for the past 16 months but had been unable to do so. This means that, in time, perhaps when he leaves politics, he can retrieve his asset and benefit from the decisions he was party to making as a minister.
By retaining personal investments in the lucrative private nursing home sector, he damages the integrity of the decision-making process.
It would have been cleaner for Dr Reilly to sell his interest, even if he lost out financially. Instead, public faith in democracy has been sacrificed.
It strikes me as odd that Dr Reilly was not required to do this by the Standards in Public Office Commission. The body holds the view that divesting himself of any control over his share in the nursing home business was sufficient to protect ethics.
But this poses a question over whether those guidelines are adequate. After all, the conflict of interest remains. Job botched.
Those entrusted with high office ought to be above suspicion. This must be a given. No fudging, no extenuating circumstances.
Public faith has been breached, however. The difficulty is not a debt defaulter health minister -- that's a red herring -- but one perceived to have a conflict of interest.
Incidentally, the nursing home is not the only asset of Dr Reilly's which may give rise to a potential conflict of interest. It is also possible he retains a beneficial interest in his GP's practice in Lusk, Co Dublin. And what are we to make of another investment, an abandoned multi-million euro health development in his constituency? The lack of clarity surrounding these issues gives cause for concern.
No doubt the irregularity regarding his stake in the Carrick-on-Suir nursing home under the spotlight will be sorted out quickly He is well-paid, and holds a considerable assortment of assets, all declared in compliance with the law.
Incidentally, in noting his investment portfolio, I should point out that it's useful to have people from all walks of life in the Oireachtas, including those with business experience. Career politicians are no great shakes.
And we must accept that business people encounter difficulties occasionally -- it's how they deal with them that counts. But while this debt default can be put right, there is no easy fix for his conflict of interest. That can't be clarified away, or simplified away, and no explanation to the Dail -- even one that might run to a heady 10 or 15 minutes -- can sweeten it.
The crux of the matter is the value we place on integrity. Dr Reilly's business affairs may soon be in order, but the ethics of keeping him in Hawkins House are not so handy to patch up. He is charged with serving the people, and the best way to do that now would be to play his part in promoting higher standards in public office.
Or is the public supposed to be the only resigned element here -- resigned to tolerating an inadequate code from the body, the Standards in Public Office Commission, charged with regulating members' interests?
Damage to the Coalition is being caused. The Taoiseach is left looking "preposterous" -- his dismissal of the conflict of interest charge -- as he props up Dr Reilly in the face of justified questions from Gerry Adams and Micheal Martin, among others.
As for Labour, it needs to speak out sharpish, and not in a supporting role, or another slice of its reputation will wind up on the collateral damage heap.
Pat Rabbitte expressed his conviction, on RTE's 'Morning Ireland' yesterday, that his Cabinet colleague's statement to the Dail would shine a light on this matter which has been troubling us.
But the only clarification the public needs is the date of Dr Reilly's resignation -- "with immediate effect" has a healthy ring to it.

Reporting to Deputy Director Collins are Steve Huffman as North Regional Director and Ron Edwards as South Regional Director.
Huffman, 48, entered the field in 1981 at the London Correctional Institution as a commissary manager and pre-release coordinator.

Most recently, he has been working at DRCs central office as chief of the Bureau of Construction, Activation and Maintenance. Huffman has a B.S.S. degree from Ohio University.
Edwards, 47, started his career as a corrections officer at the Lebanon Correctional Institution in 1974. Edwards was most recently warden at the Correctional Reception Center in Orient and has also served as warden at Northeast Pre-Release Center, Ross and Dayton Correctional Institutions. This year the North American Association of Wardens and Superintendents named Edwards Warden of the Year. Edwards holds a B.S. degree in Criminal Justice from Wilmington College.

August is such a wonderful month and I'm sad to see it go! In our family August is full of birthday celebrations and LOTS of wedding anniversaries. I mentioned here that the hubby and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary this year and the best part is, we got to celebrate it with all the other couples in my family!
In my family, there is a long tradition of getting married in the month of August. My parents, both set of grandparents and both my aunts & uncles were all married in this glorious month. So when the Mr. and I got engaged there was absolutely no question when we were getting married! Several decades ago my mom's family started a tradition of celebrating everyone's anniversaries together and it has now turned into what is called the August Anniversary Club. Each year all the couples get together and celebrate all of the years of matrimony in our family. But here is the kicker, each year it rotates who hosts the dinner party and if you host you pick up the tab. It's such a fun tradition and I look forward to it every year!
This year, the arrow landing on us and we were given the responsibility of hosting the anniversary dinner. I wanted to make it a special evening by adding a few personal touches without spending A DIME. Yes, my goal was to make invites and assemble table decor using only things I had around the house.
I started out by making simple dinner party invites using left over scrapbook paper and some ribbon. They only took a few minutes to make and it was fun sending formal invites via snail mail (Call me a nerd, but I love getting surprises in the mail. In fact, walking out to the mail box every day is one of the little things in life that I just love :p).
We took everyone to a Brazilian Steak House that recently opened up in the area. If you have never been to one before, you HAVE to try one. It's all you can eat meat and not just any meat, beautiful filets, grilled chicken, seasoned beef, lamp chops and… ok I need to stop. What's so much fun about a Brazilian Steak House is that they carve the meat right onto your plate and make it look like an art.
I LOVE dining out, but sometimes when you go to a public place you lose that personalized touch. But, that can easily be changed by bringing a few added elements of your own! If you are going hosting a dinner party call ahead and ask if you can bring some of your own decor. Most places are completely fine with it (with the exception of candles).
The first thing I wanted to do was make place cards. I took old wine corks that I had saved and turned them into place cards for each of the guests. (Annnnd now that I'm looking at this more closely, I totally cut the paper on an angle. Fail.)
Next, I added a simple bouquet of hydrangeas from my garden and placed them in the center of the table.
I didn't go overboard with decor and I probably could have done more, but I added just enough to warm things up. Not to mention, I achieved my goal of not spending a dime :)
From left to right: My aunt & uncle (32 years), my 89 year old grandparents (66 years), my parents (36 years) and the hubby and I (3 years). All together that is 137 years of marriage, whew!

With funky beats to match their funky clothes, the Scissor Sisters may be the grooviest dance-pop outfit to come out of the downtown New York scene since Deee-Lite in the early '90s. On their self-titled debut, the five Sisters (none of whom are related and only one of whom is female) cut and paste '70s disco, glam-rock and Eltonesque pop into a kitschy-cool sound. They even make the 1979 Pink Floyd prog-rocker "Comfortably Numb" all their own, with new-wavish keyboards, a pulsating drum-machine beat and lead singer Jake Shears's Bee Gees-style falsetto. Meanwhile, the fab first single, "Take Your Mama," with its honky-tonk piano and swaggering groove, is one of several songs that owe a debt to the Rocket Man (for whom the Sisters have opened on tour).
Elsewhere, the group displays a trashy wit on tracks such as the throb bing techno "Filthy/Gorgeous." How ever, the Scissor Sisters close the disc on a sobering note with the art-rock ballad "Return to Oz," which poignantly addresses crystal meth addiction in New York's gay community: "What' once was Emerald City's/ Now a crystal town."

Bronson Arroyo pitched five-hit ball over 7 2/3 innings, Joey Votto was 4-for-4 with a homer today, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Philadelphia Phillies 10-0.
Arroyo (4-4) struck out six and allowed one runner to reach third in winning his third straight start against Philadelphia. He was 1-7 in his first 10 games against the Phillies, but has figured them out over the last two seasons.
Votto had a two-run shot and walked twice to reach safely six times. Ryan Hanigan hit a three-run homer.
Kyle Kendrick (4-2) gave up four runs and eight hits with a season-high four walks in six innings. Kendrick hadn't allowed more than two runs in his previous seven starts.

text: DATE=3/24/2000 TYPE=BACKGROUND REPORT TITLE=RUSSIA / ELECTIONS NUMBER=5-45999 BYLINE=EVE CONANT DATELINE=MOSCOW CONTENT= VOICED AT: INTRO: Russia is preparing for presidential elections on March 26th. Acting President Vladimir Putin, who took over the Kremlin when President Boris Yeltsin resigned on New Years Eve, is widely expected to win. Mr. Putin is known as a tough talking leader and the man behind second war in Chechnya. V-O-A's Eve Conant reports on an election most Russians say has already been decided. TEXT: On Sunday, Russia will vote for a new president. For many, however, the campaign has resembled the character of the likely favorite Vladimir Putin - calm, decisive and lacking the drama and upheavals that characterized the Yeltsin years. Most people in Moscow, such as student Sergei Alexandrov, say they already know who their next president will be. /// ACT ALEXANDROV IN RUSSIAN AND FADE UNDER /// "Vladimir Putin" he says. "I like him as a man and a politician. I am tired of all the other candidates." Or there is Doctor Tatyana Moisenkovskaya who will also vote for Mr. Putin, but for a different reason. ///ACT MOISENKOVSKAYA IN RUSSIAN AND FADE UNDER/// She says "I will vote for him because I am against the communists. He is the only candidate who has a high enough rating to beat them." Telephone engineer and young mother Zhana Gulyaeva does not support Vladimir Putin although she does expect him to win. Speaking from her home, she explains how she has joined the growing ranks of frustrated Russians who say they will vote for "none of the above" when they go to the polling booth. ///ACT GULYAEVA IN RUSSIAN AND FADE UNDER/// She says "I have not seen a single politician yet that could change my life for the better. Any proper leader would not get involved with these scandals and games we see on television." Her husband, Slava Gulyaev, who works as a stockbroker, says he will not bother voting for his first choice, the liberal Grigory Yavlinsky, because he has no chance to win. ///ACT GULYAEV IN RUSSIAN AND FADE UNDER/// "Even if he is my favorite candidate, why waste my vote on him?" He says, "We all know it is Mr. Putin who is going to be president. I will just vote for him and get it over with." On the other side of Moscow is 59-year old factory worker Antonina Safrygina. She was one of the victims of a series of apartment bombings last year that Moscow blamed on Chechen rebels. The blasts killed hundreds and helped sparked public support for the war in Chechnya. Mr. Putin, then Russia's prime minister, saw his support skyrocket after what many Russian's viewed as his decisive handling of the Chechen threat. Antonina Safrygina survived the blast, which blew her old apartment in half. She says she is not convinced it was Chechens who blew up her home. She wonders whether the Kremlin might have been behind the blasts but says it is best not to ask too many questions. Still, she says she is angry with Russia's leaders and will vote for Communist candidate Gennady Zyuganov. /// OPT /// "I trust the Communists," she says. "The democrats deceived and hurt us, especially older people like me. They took away our pensions. You young people will always survive - but what can older people do?" /// NAT SOUND TV UNDER /// Antonina Safrygina spends much of her time watching television in her new, smaller apartment in a neighborhood where she has yet to meet anyone. She is furious that Acting President Putin suggested Russia join NATO and says the United States just wants to humiliate Russia. She thinks Mr. Putin is only popular because he is on television so often. She says, "he may become president but it is only because the television is pressuring us so much, repeating the same stories over and over again." // END OPT /// ///NAT SOUND MEGAPHONE - COMMUNIST DEMO UP & UNDER/// Although the Communists still gather here outside Red Square, they are preaching to a smaller audience each year. Polls indicate Communist candidate Gennady Zyuganov might win around 20 percent of the vote. But most say his only threat to Mr. Putin is to force a second round of voting, that he does not have a chance to win. Those who come out on these cold winter mornings are mostly the elderly who remember the stable years of the Soviet regime and do not believe Mr. Putin is the person to bring it back for them. Many of those interviewed do not believe Mr. Putin's pledge to fight corruption or clean up the Kremlin bureaucracy. For them, Acting President Putin is simply a younger version of former President Yeltsin, ready to preside over corruption and economic decline just as Mr. Yeltsin did.

People say all sorts about me. They call me a slut, a tramp, all kinds. They say I'm fake because I use tanning lotions, eyelash and hair extensions and, worst of all, because I have a great pair of implants. They don't understand that I need a sugar-daddy to support it all so they call me a gold digger, especially since I left high school and my parents stopped paying. Fuck them! I love my life and I'm proud of it. I'm keeping this diary for you for just… (more)

Mozilla Firefox is one of the most popular internet browsers in the world, with millions of users. The browser differs in features and design from other browsers, such as: Internet Explorer, Safari, and Google Chrome. Here are some of the new features available in the latest version of Mozilla Firefox.
What Features Are Included on Mozilla Firefox?
The latest version of Mozilla Firefox allows for much safer and faster browsing. The new version is fast to load, even pages which feature a lot of text, graphics or videos. The browser also features a secure connection to improve privacy when searching on Google, and there is an identity indicator in the main URL bar, ideal for checking online banking or shopping.
Security has also been adapted to protect users from external threats, and there are several new bug fixes in the new version of the browser, which is an improvement from previous versions.
How Can I Customize Mozilla Firefox?
Users of the browser can use tabs in a way that is similar to Google Chrome, and instead of seeing a white page when a new tab is opened, there are now icons which offer access to the user's most frequently visited websites and bookmarked pages. Users can customize these icons in the settings, or delete them completely.
The latest version of the browser also features integration with the social networking website, Facebook, allowing users to opt into desktop notifications, as well as easy access to message and inbox features. Online conversations can overlap on top of the website the user is browsing, allowing for enhanced multitasking.
Is Firefox Easy to Use?
Firefox is a customizable browser, allowing users to fine-tune or "tweak" their favorite features and preferences. The browser is easy to download and install, is extremely easy to navigate, and has a sleek contemporary design with enhanced security features, protecting users from external threats.

The Roland® Classic FX Plug-In Bundle represents the world's most accurate – and the only authenticated – plug-in emulations of vintage Roland and BOSS analog hardware from the 1970s. The sound of these classic products, including the RE-201 Space Echo, Dimension D and BOSS CE-1 Chorus, has graced legions of recordings – from Bob Marley and The Clash to Radiohead, the Talking Heads and so many more. Roland entrusted Universal Audio to painstakingly model all three effects from "golden" hardware units, including a Dimension D unit belonging to famed producer Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads, No Doubt, Violent Femmes).
In 1973, Roland created the Space Echo system that utilized multiple play heads to create warm, highly adjustable echo effects, which added wonderful tape character and chaos to performances and recordings. The Space Echo can be heard on numerous recordings, from 70's space rock like Pink Floyd and David Bowie, to countless reggae and dub albums, to more recent bands like Portishead and Radiohead. Universal Audio has been entrusted by Roland to re-create the highly beloved RE-201 unit, considered the best of the Space Echo line. Our team spent over a year developing our RE-201 Space Echo, which truly captures the physical behavior of this complex device, "warts and all."
The Dimension D is a one-of-a-kind studio gem that adheres to the principle of doing one thing, and doing it extremely well. Its one and only function: producing the best sounding stereo chorus effects ever made. However the Dimension D is more than a chorus; it's really a unique sound enhancer for adding spatial and stereo widening effects. This classic 1979 Roland device has been heard on countless records, from luminaries such as Peter Gabriel, Talking Heads and INXS. Universal Audio went to great lengths to preserve this bucket brigade chorus with all its unique design elements and sonic characteristics.
Even for the mix engineer, stomp boxes can provide "secret weapon" effects not found any other way. In 1976, BOSS originated the chorus effect pedal, the CE-1, and nobody has come close to matching the CE-1's captivating chorus sound since. Its unmistakable warm analog stereo chorus and vibrato have been heard on countless tracks -- particularly on guitars, bass and electric keys. It's the perfect effect for widening the stereo sound of any given instrument. Universal Audio has been commissioned by Roland to accurately model the CE-1, and the results are nothing short of spectacular.

Hyland's Teething Tablets Back in 2011Danielle
In late October, the news of a voluntary recall on the popular over the counter, homeopathic teething relief for children sparked controversy all over the internet. Inconsistent amounts of ingredients in the tablets themselves sparked the FDA to step in.
Two weeks later the word is out that a new, and reformulated version of the popular teething tablets will be available again. Unfortunately for many parents who are anxiously awaiting the availability, it will not be back on shelves until after the new year.
Carlotta, a commenter on the original Hyland's Recall post left a comment with this great information yesterday.
According to an interview on the website NewHope360.com with John P. (Jay) Borneman, PhD, Standard Homeopathic Co's CEO :
The formulation was already through a lot of the preliminary work and the packaging piece is already there. We do, however, need to put this through a new process, which is going to require quite a bit of process validation—and you can't rush that. So the new Teething Tablets product won't be out until 2011. When in 2011? Hopefully it will be earlier rather than later—that is the objective.
The changes to the formula have been described by Jay Borneman, PhD as :
The potencies in this better-than-ever Teething Tablets formula have been tweaked in such a way that the issue of belladonna alkaloids—which occur in low-potency belladonna but not in higher-potency belladonna—will be removed. This will make the product more powerful homeopathically while reducing the belladonna alkaloids in it. From my view, a slightly higher-potency belladonna makes Teething Tablets an even better product for children from a homeopathic perspective. The belladonna still serves its purpose of easing irritability, redness and inflammation, while at the same time the issue of belladonna alkaloids has been obviated.
The original Hyland's Teething Tablets formulation was really an artifact of the time when it was formulated. The way products were formulated 85 years ago was different from how they are formulated now. If you look at some of our newer products—such as our Teething Gel, which we rolled out in the last decade or so—you will see that the homeopathic potencies are generally higher and the bases are a little bit different
In 2011, we should expect a new teething tablet formula, as well as a childproof cap.
Will parent's across the world still rave about the product with the change in their formula?
