A 1990 biology graduate, John Michelotti, is a successful orthopedic surgeon practicing in Helena, Montana. While working on a fellowship in sports medicine in Vail, Colorado, he had the opportunity to care for star running back Terrell Davis, the U.S. Ski Team, the Colorado Rockies, and former President Gerald Ford.
Steve Schmechel, M.D., Ph.D., graduated in biology from Carroll in 1990. He is currently a clinical pathology resident at the University of Washington. Schmechel believes the preparation he received at Carroll made a difference.
"During my entire first year of medical school, most of the concepts had been so well covered at Carroll that I found myself doing very well."
BA high school volleyball standout, the Choteau native was accepted to a variety of schools. But when she first toured Carroll, Alissa Abentroth felt that she fit in and decided "that's where I want to go to school." On Carroll's campus "everyone says, 'hi, how are you doing,'" Abentroth said. In addition to the family atmosphere, Abentroth liked the one-on-one attention of professors and the work ethic they instilled. "When your professor knows you on a personal level, it makes you work harder," she said, a principle Abentroth transfers to everything she does.
While she was wrapping up her undergraduate studies, she decided to continue on at medical school. Abentroth entered Carroll knowing she wanted a career in the health profession, but wasn't sure exactly what that entailed. It wasn't until her third year that she knew being a doctor was what she wanted. But now she says, "I can't think of anything else I'd rather do." Abentroth attended the University of Washington in Seattle through the WWAMI program, and finished six months early.
She chose to practice international medicine with the extra time before starting her residency.
Abentroth traveled to Kenya, Belfast, Northern Ireland and Guatemala. She said the international travel was "a good experience to take time off and see the world in the eyes of a physician and practice third world medicine." She added that she "enjoyed the autonomy" she had during her clinical experience in Kenya. "Because I did my education in the States, I was it," she said, noting that she could perform procedures there that she wouldn't be able to do until later in her residency in the United States.
She enjoyed her time in Africa and credited it as an avenue for "that whole growing up process. Even though I was by myself, I never felt lonely or alone." Abentroth lived in her own hut in the village of Kikuyu, population 300, but was a daily guest in the homes of community members.
After spending time in Kenya, Abentroth traveled to Belfast, Northern Ireland with the intent to do trauma surgery. However, that summer was the most peaceful in the city in years, so she changed her focus to other areas. As part of the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland's health care is government subsidized and Abentroth said her experience showed that although the country is industrialized, facilities there lack the modernization of other developed countries. "[It's] first-world medicine experienced in third-world conditions," she said, adding that hospitals there still have open wards with 50 or so beds filled with patients suffering from different illnesses.
Abentroth later traveled to Guatemala and volunteered for two months in a hospital there before returning to the United States. She has now just started her general surgery residency at Yale University.
Abentroth credits her experiences at Carroll as significantly influencing her success. "I think every decision I've made from here on out has been influenced by Carroll, or my friends at Carroll or my professors." Abentroth also said her private education prepared her for medical school better than many students who went to larger universities, adding that the new Fortin Science Center will raise the level of learning for Carroll students, making them more competitive. "They're very fortunate to have the new science building. The organic lab - it's phenomenal." She also noted that at larger institutions, only professors or graduate students get to use state-of-the-art equipment.

GAINESVILLE, GA. - In the violent underground novel Absolved, right-wing militia members upset about gun control make war against the U.S. government. This week, federal prosecutors accused four elderly Georgia men of plotting to use the book as a script for a real-life wave of terror and assassination involving explosives and the highly lethal poison ricin.
The four suspected militia members allegedly boasted of a "bucket list" of government officials who needed to be "taken out"; talked about scattering ricin from a plane or a car speeding down a highway past major U.S. cities; and scouted offices of the IRS and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, with one man saying, "We'd have to blow the whole building like Timothy McVeigh."

CBNNews.com - CAIRO - The latest round of Egyptian-mediated reconciliation meetings between rival Palestinian factions, described as "a total failure," ended abruptly on Thursday.
Egyptian mediators, led by General Intelligence Service chief Omar Suleiman, expressed deep disappointment over the failed talks, according to Jerusalem Post Palestinian Affairs correspondent Khaled Abu Toameh.
"It's a total failure," an official in Ramallah, affiliated with Palestinian Authority PA President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction, told Toameh.
"We are wasting our time because Hamas is not going to change," he said.
Hamas in Damascus
In an address in Damascus, exiled Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal blamed "foreign conditions" for the stalemate between the two factions, principally over the recognition of Israel's right to exist, which Hamas has vowed never to accept.
"Unfortunately after I spoke to the [Hamas] representatives in Cairo, it was revealed that the reconciliation process had been slowed down due to foreign conditions," Mashaal said.
Izzat Risheq, a member of the Hamas delegation, also said the latest meetings accomplished nothing.
"No progress was made toward reconciliation," Risheq said.
Hamas in Gaza
Another Hamas official in the Gaza Strip said the Egyptians treated their delegation's representatives "as if they were criminals," confiscating their cell phones and restricting their movement.
Gaza-based Hamas official Salah Bardaweel called on the PA to reconsider its position regarding past signed agreements with Israel because of the new Israeli government.
"The PA and Mahmoud Abbas need to understand that the Zionist enemy will never abide by the agreements," Bardaweel said.
"This enemy is only interested in deepening divisions among the Palestinians," he said.
Egyptian mediators plan to resume negotiations between the two factions on April 21.
Hamas Condones Teen's Murder
Meanwhile on Thursday, Gaza-based Hamas spokesman Ayman Taha condoned the murder of an Israeli teen from the community of Bay Ayin.
An axe-wielding Palestinian from a nearby Arab village entered the community, bludgeoned to death Shlomo Nativ, 13, and fractured the skull of seven-year-old Yair Gamliel.
"We are a people occupied," Taha told reporters, "and it is our right to defend ourselves and to act in every way and with every means at our disposal in order to defend ourselves," he said.

Ashe County commissioners voted Monday to take a forward step toward civilized treatment of animals by ending the use of the carbon monoxide gas chamber in the county pound.
Voting to end the use of the barbaric gas chamber were Gary Roark, William Sands and Judy Poe. Commissioners had received hundreds of emails and calls from people against the gas chamber, and Commissioner Sands said that he was prompted to change his opinion and oppose its use after seeing an online video of animals dying in one.
The Ashe County pound can receive a grant of at least $7,000 through HSUS providing the gas chamber is dismantled and removed from the premises within 6 months.
Working gas chambers remain in Alamance, Beaufort, Cleveland, Davidson, Gaston, Granville, Iredell, Martin, Nash, Randolph, Rowan, Union, Vance, Wilkes, and Wilson Counties. Cabarrus County ended gas chamber use last month and will accept an HSUS grant but has not yet removed the chamber. Vance County has reportedly not used their gas chamber since November, 2012, but it remains in the facility. Lethal injection is reportedly the primary means of killing in Alamance, Gaston and Nash counties, but the gas chambers remain.
Advocates can find contact information for officials in gas chamber counties here.

Itzhak Friedlander, 42, of Union City, admitted before U.S. District Judge Jose Linares in Newark to conspiring with others to launder money through an account he had at a charitable operation called Gmach Shefa Chaim in Union City, believing the funds were proceeds from a bank fraud, trafficking in counterfeit goods and other illegal activity. Federal authorities said he also believed the money ultimately would be used to make contributions to Union City politicians.
No actual development plan existed and one of the co-conspirators was Solomon Dwek, a Monmouth County real estate developer who began working for the FBI as an undercover informant after he was charged in a $50 million bank fraud. Dwek is the central figure and main witness in the case that resulted in the arrest last summer of several state, county and local officials, as well as religious leaders from New York and Monmouth County.
Friedlander admitted to a lone charge of conspiracy to launder money to conceal and disguise unlawful activity. The charge contends that, between June 2007 and August 2008, he conspired with Dwek, Shimon Haber, 34, of Brooklyn, and Moshe "Michael" Altman, 40, of Monsey, N.Y., a Hudson County real estate developer and key figure in the case.
Friedlander admitted the value of the funds he conspired to launder through the Union City charity was valued at $175,000.
It was one of several charities the government claims played a role in a sting by which federal authorities said they uncovered multiple politicians allegedly willing to take money for favors and a community of people willing to facilitate the payoffs. Federal authorities contend Altman had access to the gmach, and cashed Dwek's checks through the charity's bank accounts.
Friedlander faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, and is scheduled to be sentenced July 14. Haber pleaded guilty on Jan. 14 to conspiracy to money launder and conceal and promote unlawful activity. He is scheduled to be sentenced May 25.
Altman was the subject of a 41-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury on Jan. 28. His case is pending.

A new report has shed light on the estimated number of births to illegal immigrants on American soil.
The Pew Hispanic Center's study found that 8 percent of children born in the United States in 2008 were born to illegal immigrants. That amounts to one in every 12 births. The non-partisan research group also found there are about 11 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S. and nearly 80 percent of their children - about 5 million - were born here. The study comes as several Republican lawmakers are pushing for a review of the so-called 'birth clause" in the 14th Amendment of in the U.S. Constitution. The clause states that every person born in America is automatically a citizen.
"To have a child in America, they cross the border. They go to the emergency room, have a child, and that child's automatically an American citizen," Sen. Lindsay Graham, R-S.C., said. "That shouldn't be the case."
"It's a rather unseemly business, and I think we ought to have some hearings and take a look at it," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said.
Pew researchers analyzed data based on the Census Bureau's March 2009 population survey.

The Washington Capitals' 7-1 thrashing of the Florida Panthers in D.C. Thursday night served as a not-so-subtle reminder that when the Caps are on, they can play with any team in the NHL.
This win, combined with the Caps' tremendous come-from-behind win last Tuesday night against the Boston Bruins, it is easy to see that Washington is gearing up for a playoff run.
After an absolutely putrid 2-8-1 start to the season, the Caps have been red hot as of late. They are 8-4-0 over the past 12 games and are within five points of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. They also sit eight points back of the Carolina Hurricanes for the Southeast Division lead—taking the Canes being a daunting task, but not impossible.
Statistically, the Caps have improved dramatically over the past few weeks. Roughly a month ago, the Caps were averaging 2.33 goals per game, which ranked 26th in the NHL.
They are now averaging 2.96 goals per game which has them ranked 10th in the NHL.
A month ago, the Caps were yielding 3.67 goals per game, and they were ranked 27th in this department. They are now giving up 2.96 goals per game and are ranked 22nd.
A month ago, the Caps were the second-most penalized team in the NHL. They are now the ninth-least penalized team in the league.
Across the board and on many levels, the Washington Capitals have reverted to the solid team so many of us have come to know and love over the years. They are playing much better hockey, and their recent successful run has Caps fans believing that maybe the playoffs are not just a pipe dream this season.
Yes, the 5-2 loss to the New York Islanders on Saturday was a disappointing turn of events. It makes the game against the New York Rangers on Sunday even more important.
But do the Caps have it in them to overcome their terrible start and make a serious push for the playoffs?
Here are four reasons to believe the Washington Capitals will make a playoff run.

Album Review
Honeymoon Suite
's inaugural self-titled album is an honest attempt at straightforward, power pop, and for the most part they deliver the goods. Rough around the edges and striated with keyboards, much of this album contains hardened guitar work painted with up-tempo choruses that hold their own. "New Girl Now" is a pleasing opener full of bluster and bite, with the help of the guitar-driven melody. "Burning in Love" sounds a wee bit empty, but the piercing synthesizer keeps it alive. Two other singles, "Wave Babies" and "Stay in the Light," present a brash, typical rock essence that is dated but still effective. Lead vocalist
Johnny Dee
sounds overambitious at times, but that's only to be expected, and doesn't really take anything away musically from the album. Especially for a debut, this album holds it's own and displays a conventional, seasoned sound.

Man found dead in Sterling home, police search for missing wife
STERLING, Colo. — Police responded to a medical call at a Sterling home Thursday afternoon and found the body of a 70-year-old man.

Good news! Just by rummaging through your pantry, fridge and freezer and creatively combining a few ingredients, you can have dinner tonight.
Here's how it works. Choose a meat from the fridge or freezer. I chose boneless pork chops, but you might pick chicken or beef instead.
Check the fridge for a likely looking veggie or two. I found a green pepper and onion. Other candidates include red pepper, green onions, sugar snap peas, green beans, carrots – you get the idea. Anything that you've got that sounds good. [Read more…]

Recipes for Success
Gary D. Strack, P.E.
Shafer, Kline & Warren, Inc.
Lenexa, Kansas
Member, APWA Leadership and Management Committee
Food and fellowship are the keys for the new "Recipes for Success" series of articles. Last month's APWA Reporter concluded the Leadership and Management Committee's third series of articles entitled "The Baker's Potluck" which touched on a variety of leadership and management topics. "The Baker's Potluck" was preceded by "The Baker's Dozen" and "The Baker's Menu" series. All of these articles are available on the APWA website (www.apwa.net/Publications/Reporter) or by contacting Ann Daniels, APWA Director of Technical Services, at (800) 848-APWA or firstname.lastname@example.com. In addition, the entire collection of the first two series is available in a single book from APWA (Building on the Basics: Core Competencies for Public Works Managers).
The fourth series of articles beginning next month is entitled "Recipes for Success" and will focus on topics related to career development, mentoring, and setting career goals. Article titles in the upcoming series include: "Humble Beginnings - Unlimited Potential," "Ethical Behavior," "Role Model," "Different Types of Mentoring and Mentor Qualifications," "How to Get a Mentor," "Good Listener," "Commitment," "Competence," "Setting Career Goals" and "What APWA Has Meant to Me." The importance of participating in APWA will become apparent as you read these articles. We hope they will help you and your colleagues in your careers.
The members of the Leadership and Management Committee are always looking for article topics and guest authors are welcome. In the interest of saving time, we recommend you submit your topic for consideration prior to spending a significant amount of time writing an article. In addition, if you have a unique insight or experience with any of these topics listed above, please share your information with Ann Daniels who will then pass it on to us. You never know, the committee may think your experience is worth sharing with all APWA members and ask you to assist or write an article about it. So send it in!
"Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it." - Lou Holtz
So why did we choose "Recipes for Success" as the title of our next series of articles? Our articles over the last few years have been focused on leadership and management topics and haven't specifically addressed how to improve yourself and career if you are not in a management role (notice I didn't include leadership; more on that later). So the committee felt it was time to address individual development issues. In addition, mentoring is a focus for the new year of APWA President Larry Frevert and virtually all of the upcoming articles apply to some part of mentoring. So why didn't I include leadership? The Leadership and Management Committee has come to believe that a leader of an organization does not have to be in a management position. In fact, one of your non-management employees may be a leader in your organization; it might even be you. Remember, "A leader does the right things and a manager gets things done right."
"Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other." - John F. Kennedy
Back to mentoring for a moment, if you have a structured mentoring program in your organization that you would be willing to share with the Leadership and Management Committee, we would like to hear from you. Our committee is collecting data on types of mentoring programs that are in use to see how it may be used to our APWA members' benefit. Currently there is no plan to establish an APWA mentoring program and the committee will not recommend one to the Board without evaluating existing programs. But we are encouraging everyone to use mentoring to develop public works leaders, transfer knowledge to the next generation of workers, improve our organizations, and improve individual capabilities.
"Blessed is the leader who seeks the best for those he serves." - Unknown
But the real reason behind all our series titles, is FOOD! Our committee really likes it and it is a requirement for being a member! Ann Daniels has been collecting recipes of public works departments' favorite dishes and will add one to each of our "Recipes for Success" articles. If you haven't submitted your recipe for wastewater stew or roadkill gumbo (or some other appetizing name) yet, there is still time to share that delicious recipe with the rest of APWA. Keep your eyes "peeled" for a delicious recipe from your fellow APWA members.
"A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business." - Henry Ford
In closing, I want to give some well-deserved recognition for a job well done to Sue Hann, John Ostrowski, and our Chair Bill Sterling for the huge effort they put in on the update of the ICMA green book now titled Public Works Administration available through the APWA Bookstore. And their effort was amplified by our tremendous staff liaison, Ann Daniels, who almost single-handedly coordinated 50-some authors of this manual. The next time you see them, please tell them "thank you" for their hard work on your behalf. They are giving back to the organization which has given so much to them. Someday it will be your turn. Is it today? Only you can decide when.
Gary Strack is a member of the Leadership and Management Committee and a former member of the Membership Committee. He can be reached at (913) 888-7800 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

'Lone Ranger' returns, surprisingly, to thrilling entertainment like yesteryear
How subversive of Disney to release during the Fourth of July holiday a comedy action film that is in part about the American Indian genocide.
Those who go to "The Lone Ranger" because it stars Johnny Depp will come away satisfied by a performance that reminds them of his "Pirates of the Caribbean" character. And the film contains elements — silver bullet and "William Tell Overture" included — familiar from the TV series and, before that, radio show. »Read Full Article
A weekend in Milwaukee for TV's Adam Richman
Adam Richman, late of the eating-challenge show "Man v. Food," has been filming around Milwaukee this weekend for his new show on the Travel Channel, "Fandemonium."
It's a show centered on uber-fan gatherings around the country and this weekend has been focused on the Milwaukee Brewers and Miller Park (the Brewers put out a call awhile back, seeking "superfans" with elaborate tailgating operations for filming this weekend). »Read Full Blog Post
Riverwest 24 gets neighborhood rolling
Riverwest is just one exceedingly cool neighborhood, but never as much as during the Riverwest 24, an around-the-clock, full-day bike ride. Born through the movement of community block watches, the event is fun whether you're riding or not. It also brings new faces into the neighborhood, strengthens ties among neighbors and encourages the notion of urban biking.
Described as an "exercise in stamina, teamwork and merriment," the Riverwest 24, or RW24 for short, starts at 7 p.m. Friday and ends at 7 p.m. Saturday. »Read Full Article
Etheridge's voice adds spice to musical comfort food
Melissa Etheridge has definitely had an interesting life: coming out, becoming a mother, recovering from breast cancer. Saturday night at the Riverside Theater, she mentioned being cancer-free for nine years, but her performance was almost entirely informed by being a girl from Kansas who was raised on classic rock, rather than by her later experiences.
Playing for more than two hours, Etheridge clearly wanted her show to be as much about the music as possible. She touched on pretty much every minor and major hit, and the resulting set was like a huge meal of ham and eggs, burgers and fries or any other basic meat-and-potatoes combination. »Read Full Article(5)

From our vantage point ten years later, it is obvious that September 11th, 2001, was more than a moment of collective tragedy -- it precipitated a fundamental shift in the ways the United States, and to an extent, the world, understood itself. In this sense, we join a host of societies throughout history that have sought to reflect, revive and rebuild in the wake of large-scale traumatic events. This conference will explore language and literature as tools in that rebuilding, considering the many ways that the notion of crisis has intersected with ideas of personal, national and global identity in the last decade and throughout history. We seek to consider whether literature helps to heal the wounds of trauma or encourages them to fester, whether it works to erect identity borders or whether it can also act as a bridge between identities, and what the role of scholars and educators is in shaping language and literature study in this context.
Proposals & Submission Information:
The conference encourages participants to critically consider the words "crisis", "trauma", and "response", and to read papers that expand our understanding of those and related terms. We invite interdisciplinary and multilingual discussions that explore a wide range of crises and the equally diverse number of responses. Abstracts must be submitted before August 5, 2011. To submit your abstract, please visit our online submission site: http://goo.gl/am4Kw.
For additional information about the conference, please email organizers Dustin Hixenbaugh & Roanne Sharpe at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit UT's Program in Comparative Literature's website: http://www.utexas.edu/cola/progs/complit/.

A pair of North Bergen residents were arrested after they were linked to a van theft in July, police said.
David Jamie, 45, of Grand Street, and Nelson Paredes, 39, of 62nd Street, were charged Tuesday with receiving stolen property and theft by unlawful taking as a result of the van theft, police said.
On July 24, a North Bergen woman reported her 1989 Chevy van stolen and told police the keys were left in the ignition and the car was loaded with scrap copper.
After the vehicle was recovered, the two were linked to the theft by fingerprints recovered from the van, police said.
Both men were arrested at their homes, police said. Paredes and Jamie were taken to Hudson County jail.

When to Start Collecting Your Small Claims Judgment
Small Claims: You must wait 30 days after the Judgment is entered or mailed to collect your small claims judgment1. This gives the defendant the opportunity to appeal. There is no longer a wait time after an appeal.
If the defendant appears at the hearing and lost, he or she has 30 days to file for an appeal. If there is no appeal, you can start collecting after this period of time. If the defendant chooses to appeal, there will be a new hearing date at the superior court. If you win at this new hearing, you can start collecting upon receipt of the new judgment, which usually occurs within 10 days.
If the defendant failed to show up at the hearing and lost, you would also have to wait 30 days from the date of judgment to start collecting. The defendant, however, has the option to file a motion to vacate judgment within 180 days after the date of the original judgment. Based on the defendant's reason for not appearing at the hearing, the judge may allow the motion to vacate the judgment.
One good reason would be that the defendant was not served properly or on time. If the judge approves the motion and sets another date for a hearing, you must wait another 30 days from the date of the new judgment to collect. If the motion to vacate was denied, you can start collecting; however, the defendant can still appeal the denial of the motion. It is a complicated process and rarely happens; however, if the defendant does so, you must wait until the appeal is resolved.
Civil: There is no waiting period unless the court has ordered a stay pending appeal.

Derrick 'Hot Mess' Shepherd was back in court Wednesday, working hard to live up to his name.
Prosecutors are now asking the Senate to turn over copies of Senator Shepherd's calendar from September 2006 through December 2006, saying the documents "will provide possible evidence for use at trial."
Now you know members of congress have GOT to be sick and tired of the feds coming up to them on their jobs, talking to them about our trifling azz politicians and their criminal stunts.
Shepherd was indicted back in April on money laundering charges along with Gwendolyn Joseph Moyo, an unlicensed bond broker who ran an illegal insurance business in New Orleans.
In essence, she endorsed checks for illegal work she was paid for; he deposited them in his bank account, got the cash, took out his cut and gave her back the balance.
If that's not the most low-budget, first-of-the-month corner liquor store hustle, I truly don't know what is. I mean, you got a law degree dude...
and that's the best you could come up with?!
The senator insists his cut was for legal services rendered, which is no doubt why the feds wanna take a look at that calendar. Let's hope he was thinking three steps ahead and put her on his schedule although given how weak that outline was, I doubt it.
Lawyers for Hot Mess expressed concern to the judge on Wednesday that finding a pool of impartial jurists would be a problem, given all the media hoopla over:
1. Assault charges for beating down his ex-girlfriend
2. Felony theft charges for stealing her $500 cell phone - BTW, what exactly does homegirl DO for a living? - and $100 which he no doubt spent on the...
3. ...Strippers he had at the house when the po po came to get him
4. Putting the town on notice upon being released from jail that anybody threatening his momma or sister is gonna suffer "consequences and repercussions"
5. Hustling the public with his 'residency house' vs. his out-of-district mansion where the feds always find him - then putting said mansion up for sale this week
6. Recent revelations of other women he's pushed around including an attorney from his law office.
Did I miss anything?
Oh yeah - the original money laundering indictment.
Attorneys for Hot Mess stopped short of asking the judge to postpone the trial.
And on a high-larious side note: Moyo, a twice convicted felon who is representing herself, told the judge she wants to be tried separately from Shepherd because she's worried about being "hurt by (his) bad publicity".
Hands down - favorite news moment of the day!
A twice convicted felon is worried the Senator is gonna make HER look bad in court!
The judge, however, said no to the separate trials idea. And until their joint trial begins on October 6th, the judge has ordered Hot Mess to home confinement at his momma's house, subject to electronic monitoring. He's free to leave home for work, church and emergencies but needs court permission to leave greater New Orleans.
Staying by momma 'nems and electronic ankle monitors - super thug-tastic!
I'm sweating just looking at it...
Trying to single-handedly bring back the Richard Roundtree in 'Shaft' look - not working for you, boo... Even if you are on house arrest, you are still a senator, obligated to represent your district - So SNAP OUT OF IT!
Clarence Roby - you're his attorney... DO SOMETHING!!!

Worth Mentioning... is a weekly roundup by South Jersey Online's own DJ McAneny of all the things you should know about on the Web. News tips, comments, concerns, disagreements, love mail and hate mail greatly appreciated and accepted at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling (856) 686-3661.
Meet... Those Who Are Too Young To Love Him
In Other News...
-- Sure, everyone loves Christmas movies. They make us feel good with their happy endings and they allow us to connect with loved ones over classic favorites, bringing an even more intimate experience to the whole season. Don't be fooled by their charming exteriors! Take time to peruse this convenient list of all the terrible lessons Christmas movies actually teach us, like "If the U.S. Post Office delivers you a letter addressed to someone other than yourself, you BECOME that person in the eyes of the law," (Miracle on 34th Street) or "People will like you instantly if you give them money." (A Christmas Carol)
-- You know how, sometimes, someone gives you a gift that just isn't you, or which you will have absolutely zero use for over the course of your lifetime, and you know they'll never notice, so you'd like to just get rid of it? And then sometimes, you get in a jam with an unexpected christmas party, birthday or wedding and you need a gift on short notice, so you feel really temped to just grab the stupid gift you hate and give it to stated present receiver? It's called "re-gifting," and here are 12 tips to keep in mind so you can get away with it flawlessly.
-- An 11-word question spawns a 1,000-word response:
"How do I know if a girl loves me or not?"
-- The mot Inspirational speech ever. 40 Inspirational speeches combine to morph into one Mega-Inspirational-athon.
-- Life is not always happy and pleasant, but sometimes, justice prevails and a bittersweet ending can be achieved. Santa inadvertently help make two little girls' lives much safer this Christmas season, as a 9-year-old girl's letter to the man in the red suit asking for a relative to "stop touching her and her sister," lead police to arrest 55-year-old Andres Cantu and end the abuse after a teacher turned the letter over to authorities. The (alleged) sicko pervert faces 99 years in prison if convicted.
Science and Tech...
-- This is a video of global air traffic over a 24-hour period. Each yellow dot represents one airplane.
-- I wasn't sure where to post this story. I guess because the tale involves a rocket, though, it belongs in the Tech section. Anyway, poor Wang Diange of Inner Mongolia, China, died after (allegedly) being struck by lightning in a storm that took off half the roof of a house he was overseeing during the wake of a previous funeral. the strike was so furious it made identifying the cause of Diange's death difficult, but this was the conclusion the police came to. Funeral arrangements were made for Diange, and he was to be cremated. Except, as he was entered into the cremation chamber, his body exploded, blowing the doors off the chamber. Apparently, the "lightning" that took Diange's life was actually a weather rocket that lodged itself into his body, and finally exploded when it was heated. I guess there is an important lesson here for all of us to remember, but I couldn't tell you what it is? Always check the body for rockets, I guess?
-- Last week I reminded everyone about the NORAD Santa Tracker, that would allow children to watch Santa making his rounds live via their hi-tech monitoring system while the man and his team of reindeer were in flight. Google, as they tend to do with most awesome technological ideas, have gotten involved with the awesome NORAD Santa Tracker and now offer a plethora of Google Map-integrated tools to help out this holiday season. Features include an integrated NORAD Christmas Eve Santa Tracker, winter traffic conditions, locations to shops and businesses and direct links to coupons for those places and so on. Be sure to check it out, as it could prove a valuable last-minute holiday tool for everyone.
-- Weekend Stuff: Some Christmas-themed games for your amusement, Use the Benny Hillifier to add Yakety Sax to any YouTube video you desire, The Hubble Space Telescope Advent Calendar,
You better not pout, I'm telling you why. Santa Clause is coming... To TOWN!
The End.

ARLINGTON, Va. — Collaboration between the federal government and the food industry should be part of any new laws and regulations passed to enhance food safety, according to Jill Hollingsworth, group vice president, food safety programs, for the Food Marketing Institute here. "You can't have a safer food supply if it's all in the hands of the government," she said in a recent food safety webinar hosted by SN.

The current modchips available for the Wii console only act as a bypass for the Wii's disc drive protection - preventing any back-up discs it detects from booting on the console.
According to a recent video posted on youtube you can achieve the same effect with a parallel port cable soldered to the drive board and then run the backup games via a PC.
Textb00k: (the video author)
You will need a male parallel port and a couple diodes, both parts available at Radioshack for under 3 bucks. Follow Erant's instructions on soldering in the cable, then use Syndicate or WAB's "ISO Loader" or "WABModCheap" programs to temporarily patch the drive firwmare to allow backups to load. Not as feasabile as a modchip for the reason that you have to use a PC every time, but for 3 bucks and the chance to get it done right then, it was worth it for me.

"Knowledge is free, but you have to bring your own container"
I almost did it but Decided not to because you still need to open up your Wii and solder stuff. So if you're already going to open up your Wii and solder imo i'm just going to get a modchip after a few of them are on the market.
thats is sweet. i might do that once my warranty is up.

odd seeing as parallel connections dont support plug and play, some motherboards would fry if you plug a parallel device while its running...

More than 3.6 million New Jersey voters cast ballots for president Tuesday, and when all the votes are finally tallied the number could eclipse the record set in 2004.
However, in percentage terms the turnout was nowhere near the record of 91 percent set in 1960 when John F. Kennedy was elected president.
State officials said more New Jersey residents were registered to vote this year than ever before: 5,401,528.
As of early this morning, with 98 percent of voting precincts reporting, 3,616,982 votes for president had been counted, a turnout of 67 percent.
Those numbers will increase once late-reporting precincts and provisional ballots are added in, so the final total could surpass the record set in the 2004 presidential election, when 3,638,153 votes were cast in New Jersey.

And A New Group Joins The Online Media Scene in Arabia: Q&A with Hervé Cuviliez
As the trend of foreign capital continues to rise in the Arab region, some major players start to appear, shedding light on what the online Startup scene in has the potential to be. Today we introduce you, to Diwanee.
Diwanee Group in the words of its founders: "is a group of various companies dedicated to digital business". It has come and brought with them, as they like to put it, all of their "Savoir Faire" appropriately expressing their sense of timing to start developing online projects in the region.
It must be pointed out that their colorful background of expertise ranging from Senior Executives and talented professionals in prestigious firms of the like of Tribal DDB, Condé Nast France, and Pixel Veggie, with a gripping sense of regional culture, is going to separate this group from the crowd, and we expect to see some interesting work from them in the future.
They currently hold 5 companies with a strategic alliance with Brightcove, an Internet TV platform/network that allows content makers to monetize their content with ad revenues.
We got some answers straight from Hervé Cuviliez, a Managing Partner in Diwanee, in addition to being Executive VP, Middle East & Africa at Tribal DDB and Managing Director at Kuv Capital. He thankfully agreed to answer some questions we had regarding Diwanee Group, its plans in the region and more:
(Herve was a speaker in the last ArabCrunch demo 09 event.)
AC: How long has the group been established officially?
Hervé: Officially 3 months
AC: How long unofficially?
Hervé: One and a half year, Diwanee is the consolidation of activities we have previously funded in which we were detaining a majority stake. We have always asked our companies to create synergies and work together. Today, the creation of Diwanee is one step closer in our ambition to create a leading Internet group in the Middle East.
AC: Why the name Diwanee?
Hervé: Diwanee, which could be interpreted as a collection of great ideas. Our logo is a combination of the English and Arabic pronunciation "I". We played with the double "ee" in grey for the latin way of writing it, and the 'ي' in red for Arabic.
AC: What is your relationship with KUV Capital?
Hervé: Kuv capital is a financial company. Its job is to invest our partners' money. Today, Kuv Capital is the sole shareholder of Diwanee, but in the future, we are planning to welcome new partners within Diwanee in order to accelerate its development.
AC: As VP of Tribal DDB, should we consider this an act of massive expansion in the region?
Hervé: Yes, One of our agencies Pixel Veggie represents Tribal DDB in the MENA region; we are planning to have a Pixel Veggie office in every MENA country.
AC: How did the acquisition of Pixel Veggie happen? Should small/medium web development firms be on the look out for acquisition in other MENA countries?
Hervé: We now own 82% of Pixel Veggie, our plan now is to acquire or joint venture with interactive agencies in every the MENA region. Our next move, which will take place early this year will be Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
AC: Tell us about your alliance with Brightcove, what will you get and what they will get?
Hervé: Online video is a major trend both on Internet and Mobile. Brightcove is the worldwide leader in online video service provider. So it was important for Diwanee to have a solid partner in this matter. We have our different teams trained by Brightcove, whether it is our sales or technical team. From our side, we help Brightcove to make deals with Media agencies in the Middle East. The next step is to launch solutions and services together.
AC: Products: please share with us some details about them:
Azia wa outour.com: (Fashion & Couture wordpress blog in the Arab world)
Hervé: The blog is a temporary website. The full speed version will be live in January. We have a journalistic team in Beirut and correspondents in UAE, KSA and Egypt.
Hervé: Click Mena is a media representative. The portfolio is a combination of really targeted audience websites such as Wikeez.com and major international portals having massive circulation in the Middle East like Dailymotion.com. Click Mena focuses on engaged users, we only represent online properties with active users (voting, publishing, commenting, active in the social community), and they are the most profitable for Brands. In other words, with Click Mena, Media agencies buy less traffic and get a better result.
AC: What is it about? When is it going to be launched officially?
Hervé: Our ambition behind Mabrook.me is to build the largest email database for marketers. It's actually in beta version; we are actually testing the software. The major investment was the CRM software to manage the database, campaigns and results. We now accept media partners for data collection based on a revenue sharing.
AC: How many acquisitions and/or mergers have taken place in the region by your Group so far?
Hervé: This year, We have done 3 joint ventures (Azia wa outour, the 2 others are not launched yet) and we have develop 2 new companies (Mabrook.me and Spotlight). We plan to have the same trend in 2010.
AC: What size of Venture Capital are we talking about when considering websites in the region? 5 digits? 6 digits?
Hervé: We will be more around 5 digits it's more than enough to valid a proof of concept and see if there is some traction
AC: We hear a lot of talk about Arab countries with good technical development professionals, and others with good management professionals, what's your take on this matter?
Hervé: I have a mix feeling about this, we definitively find really good professional but they are used to work much on their own, using their own tools instead of using worldwide proven open source solutions. For example, we are using drupal for our publishing activities and we struggle to find good drupal developers. The bigger the investment on Internet will become the more companies will ask for widespread platform. When you are doing a 250,000 USD investment online, we don't want to use a homemade CMS even if it's a good one. We had the same trend in US and Europe; it will come for sure in the Middle East.
AC: We heard you have been evaluating a number of websites in the region for possible acquisition/funding; do you have any announcements to make?
Hervé: Not yet, we are actually reviewing some projects.
AC: Why Beirut as your main office location in the region as appose to Dubai as most other companies choose, or Amman for that?
Hervé: There is often a confusion about this regarding Diwanee. Business wise, we are not a Lebanon based company we are doing 70% of our business through our Dubai office and 30% in Europe. 0% in Lebanon. Most of our back-office team (developers, creative, journalists, traffic managers) is in Beirut, because there are talented people here but business wise and legally, we are an Emirati company. We have our offices in Dubai Media City.
AC: We heard KUV has been pushing for an Internet City in Lebanon, how is it going?
Hervé: Good and bad. Good by the interest that every people have in that project but bad economically because without any government help you realize there is no way to build a performing and affordable solution at the same time (the price of the land is the real problem in Lebanon). If you look every successful example in the world, they had a public help. But we keep on pushing and we will find a solution.
AC: Finally, What advice would you give to entrepreneurs in the Arab region? Where's the money at?
Hervé: Talented people, talented people and talented people.
Its also worth mentioning Wikeez is one of Diwanee's more well known properties in the online entertainment industry, which received $250,000USD seed funding back in 2008.
In conclusion, we here at ArabCrunch think that the interesting combination of firms and professionals forming this group will have a serious slice of the Arab world market in the future. Keep your eyes on these guys.
Share and Enjoy

JACKSON, MI – The Michigan Theatre has signed a contract with Disney to show "Thor: The Dark World" and other anticipated blockbusters when they hit movie theaters across the country.
The theater will host a 12:01 a.m. showing of "Thor: The Dark World" on Friday, Nov. 8, and the movie will run through Nov. 29.
This is the first time that the theater has shown a first-run film as far as operations manager Tim Burkhart can recall. Showing top movies such as the sequel to "Thor" is a way to raise awareness about the Michigan Theatre and what the venue has to offer, he said.
"I'm trying to get the best of the best," Burkhart said. "We're trying to choose family-friendly movies. Hopefully this will break the ice with the other movie companies."
As part of the contract, the theater plans to show "The Avengers: Age of Ultron," "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," and "Star Wars Episode VII" when they are released.
Tickets are available in advance and cost $6 for adults and $5 for children and senior citizens. Sixty percent of ticket sales go to Disney, Burkhart said.
Since the theater is a nonprofit, it does not have the same overhead costs and regulatory fees as for-profit movie theaters, Burkhart said. Therefore, Michigan Theatre can sell tickets at a lower cost, he said.
If "Thor: The Dark World" gets a good response, movie-goers can expect first-run films to be shown regularly at the Michigan Theatre, Burkhart said.
For more information, contact the Michigan Theatre at 517-783-0962 or www.michigantheatre.org.

The fact that you try to defend Jamie McLennan shows you're a joke.
If the refs don't stop the goaltenders from getting run, someones got to... I'll support him too.
I think you are a joke to even sit there and put all the blame on the wings, and i think you are an even bigger joke to tell me that what jamie did is justified.You are a hipocrit because you sit there and say that you can justify the reason that Jamie hit Franzen but then you say " I guess this is reflection of a team that would pick up a player like Todd Bertuzzi" who did the exact same thing that Jamie did. He got hot headed and lost his cool. But you shun bertuzzi for life, and yet Jamie is justified. Go figre.
What McLennan and Bertuzzi did were nothing alike... McLennan barely hit him, but regardless.
Calgary fans don't boo Bertuzzi over the Moore incident, we boo him because he was a canuck. Just like we boo Pronger because he was an oiler.

No season review five years ago would have forecast the changing landscape of Hong Kong's jockey colony to resemble the situation as we close the door on this season.
In 2004-05, wins by Chinese jockeys accounted for 64 races from the season programme of 710 contests.
The quality of the expats had simply buried the local riders, owners had abandoned them for the big-name foreigners and the way ahead looked grim, with the juniors of that time looking mostly battlers.
Five years on, the foreign riders have been getting some of their own medicine.
Yes, perpetual weight allowances for local riders, introduced in 2005-06, were an immediate and continuing game changer but many have observed, some even complained this season that the conveyor belt of capable apprentices claiming 10 pounds has starved them of opportunities.
Some of the popular foreigners of the recent past have left, the best 'senior jockey' rides are gravitating to Douglas Whyte, Brett Prebble and others at the very top of the table, and the remaining chances directed to local jockeys.
As a result, 2009-10 saw 272 wins for the locals from 767 races and, most importantly, the squeeze applied to all but the most prominent expats with a number of the newer claimers tallying wins in the 20-30 region.
While the quality of them, and of the now-senior ranked Matthew Chadwick, bode well for local content in years to come, it is also proving a landscape changer in itself - once again the club has struggled to attract fresh, high-profile foreign riders for next season.
Applications have dwindled to nothing, perhaps with many of the most obvious candidates concluding that Prebble and Whyte have 200 winners wrapped up and you can throw in another 50 each for the next few jockeys on the table.
That means riders will come here only to scrap for less than half of the season's available rides, with these young jockeys holding a serious advantage in their weight claims and a cultural edge in dealing with owners and trainers.
In the coming season, Vincent Ho Chak-yiu is going to become the newest strong apprentice force and there is talk of Alvin Ng Ka-chun, now showing considerable promise riding in New Zealand, commencing his career here before too long.
Meanwhile, the top apprentices from this year aren't going away in a hurry. They are showing a little bit more talent than some previous groups of juniors and, as they mature, they are going to ensure this squeeze continues. Some of the victims will be the lower profile locals, but only the top expats will hold their own, too.
What's wrong with that? Well, when local riders were struggling there was a very good argument for helping them as racing needs local heroes as well as the expat stars. But it is the mix that is important.
The local juniors take an education from riding against the foreigners, so a continued strong expat presence is desirable for their development. The question now is whether that presence will go on in the same vein as previously, especially if some of the established names decide to depart, as the supply of foreign newcomers is clearly drying up.
Claim well used
Apprentices start their careers in Hong Kong with an allowance of this many pounds: 10

Skip to comments.Frank the Hippie Pope: A Lutheran Satire Production
Posted on 10/20/2013 8:41:47 PM PDT by Conservaliberty
For those who have never heard of it, Lutheran Satire is a YouTube channel of informative and funny videos by a Lutheran pastor Hans Fiene.
This video is his reaction to Pope Francis' antics. Just remember it is satire--and Fiene has a rather cutting sense of humor.
Frank the Hippie Pope
So let's do a Catholic satire of the chubby Martin Luther nailing his theses onto the Wittenburg church door after which he was arrested and placed on a Diet of Worms.
Do we really want to go there?
Unfortunately, its pretty well done, and it would be really funny ... if it wasn't so true.
we have a Lutheran pastor on FR, lets see his reaction
The Colts are about to beat Manning and the Broncos.
Thus we know there is no God.
(Do I need a winkie or something here?)
Ping to another Lutheran minister.
This absolutely summarizes my bafflement with this chaotically-minded pope.
we have more than one?
elcid. I'm not a Catholic. But I have been a big admirer of the Church as it has stood for hard biblical principles when a lot of its protestant allies were pretty wimpy. Although I do not believe he was selected as God's representative on Earth, I do believe the Pope has a huge role as the most prominent spokesman for Christianity in the world. No close second.
Obviously, I'm not guided by having to think he is somehow specially chosen by God as God's personal leader of all Christians. I evaluate him as a man who won a very important election and then by who he becomes as a leader. (Caveat, I do believe he is chosen by God in the Pauline sense that God raises up and destroys nations and leaders. But that does not mean God necessarily approves of each and all of them.)
The video seems to me a valid, if biting, criticism of Francis' performance as a leader so far. He's either very sloppy or he is working to pull the Church away from rather clear scripture. The later would be consistent with the odd way he came to power—suggesting something like a coup in the Vatican. In his actions, IMO, he has undermined the entire Christian faith—Christians cannot deny scripture and have much left and he is tiptoeing very close to that line.
That's from a Christian who loves my Catholic friends, admired Benedict very much as a great leader, and expects to meet many Catholics in New Jerusalem.
Criticism from the people who love you should sometimes be listened to.
So lets do a Catholic satire of the chubby Martin Luther nailing his theses onto the Wittenburg church door after which he was arrested and placed on a Diet of Worms.
Do we really want to go there?
If you would like to, you are more than welcome. It sounds like it might be rather poor quality, but that's a matter of opinion.
I won't be offended.
It's funny because it's true.
That would probably at least result in more meaningful Roman Catholic - Protestant dialogue than in the last 4 centuries or so...
I don't want to be too hard on Francis. He's trying to make nice. He verges on evangelical attitudes at times. He looks like he is trying to find a living way around a lot of dead bones, and even if it is a bumble it is better than nothing.
You know what I frankly think of the video though. It sounds like Protestants trying to out-Catholic Catholics. That's a Luther problem. Whatever the later Calvin's faults, and he had some significant ones, that wasn't among them.
Are you saying they should lighten up on Francis?
Well... they've got their own historical axe to grind, complaining that the Roman Catholic church was unbiblical. This seems to carry that complaint on, even in areas where I'm not sure they're giving Francis an honest reading. This whole business of persons and intrigue, however, really sounds quintessentially un-Christian to me. Since when did Christ want cults of sinners' personalities? Color me a very roll-eyed Crazy Evangelical.
Go Colts!
I'm southern baptist
To me....excluding Show Me Synods
Lutherans are as or more lib than Catholics....to us anyhow....very few to our right
Pentecostals at times.....some primitives and assemblies
And yes....this Pope is not like the last two no matter how much the diehards parse him off
Shame too
I like Pope Stout
My internet connection isn't fast enough or generous enough to view YouTubes.
Thank you for your thoughtful & well thought out reply.
So here's some food for thought: a lot of us oldfashioned pre-Vatican II Catholics have said for years,
"Never trust a Jesuit"
Jevvies seem to seesaw between orthodox defenders of the Faith, or wild experimenting revolutionaries. In both instances they regard themselves among Catholics as the best trained, best focused & best qualified to ponder weighty issues within the Church.
Look up their history. Several Popes have banned them.
Oh you're just being too ideological.
And yes, as soon as I heard this pope was a Jesuit, my heart sank.
Nothing surprising here.
So what does a faithful Catholic DO now? Seriously, where do you go for redress of this situation? Or do you just sit down, shut up, and smile? This would seem to be a turning point for the Catholic Church, to me. It cannot possibly be business as usual, as daily we see more and more questions concerning this pope.
Oh good grief, Holy Mother Church survived the `Renaissance Popes' who must have all been of the Medici family, with secret wives, mistresses, children, amassing wealth & instigating wars. Of course, the counter to all that was Martin Luther & before it was all over the Thirty Years War had exterminated most of Germany as millions perished in the debate about the divine nature of the Eucharist.
So a Pontiff who eats in the common refectory, washes the feet of the poor, & shuns many of the trappings of the Papacy, is now the Lenin of the Vatican?
Yes, my memories of the Jesuits who taught was how they argue, argue, argue. But notice how Pope Francis, the liberals' "third world Pope of the poor" tends to disappoint the Left when his pronouncements fail to overthrow anything in the Roman Canon?
(For those of you in Rio Linda, this is a trick question:) I mean, who elected this guy?
He was pretty skinny at that point. For chubby look to after his marriage to Katherine, who must have been a good cook.
Aren't most German women good cooks?
Anyway, it's satire! Like there were cartoons of young George Washington chopping down the cherry tree, only the child had the middle aged Gilbert Stuart face as seen on the dollar bill.
Drawings of Luther depict a young man. Portraits from life show him older & tubbier (just like me!).
"Good German Cooking" usually means sausuage or runzas.
Hmmm...I was thinking schnitzels, spaetzele, sauerbraten, red cabbage, & potatoes done many ways.
Several kinds of sausage make a great Grillteller.
Now I am hungry.
John 8:7
Good question smvoice. The things we are hearing from this pope is NOT the same thing as what was happening with the Medici popes and all of the other bad popes. As bad and as sinful the bad popes were they didn't say things that were contrary to the Catholic Faith. They weren't Modernists.
How did we miss this one?
Beats me. I was just thinking it was a quiet day in Rome.
Go ahead. Ping me when you are finished.
From last year, no less.
Who knows?
How did you FIND this one?
"And who confesses 'partialism'?"And my favorite:
"The first season of the cartoon program Voltron, where five robot lion cars merge together to form one giant robot samurai - obviously!"
"I've never heard of 'Voltron'."
"Of course you haven't! It's not going to exist for another 1,500 years now, Patrick!"
"That's modalism, Patrick!"
