Geek Girl's Fictional Junk-Food-o-Rama – The Worldwide Dessert Contest
When it comes to reading, I tend to spend a majority of my time in the darker side of the sci-fi/fantasy spectrum. My bookshelves are adorned with books like Redshift and Flights alongside the majority of the Elric books and assorted others. My library is populated with a high percentage of anti-heroes and monsters. The dark and depressing, gritty and repulsive can make for almost compulsive reading, but it can't be the only thing that I ever read. I have to break up all of that darkness and despair with some light and funny reading from time to time. Also, occasionally having a paperback in hand that doesn't mention zombies, swords, or death, destruction, or chaos makes my co-workers worry about me a lot less and ensures that they'll still sit next to me occasionally in the break room.
I tend to think of these books that are selected purely to be fun to read as "junk food" books. This isn't because they aren't good or because there's some flaw with the writing. It's because these types of books satisfy a very specific type of craving. It's like when you want Cheetos. Granted, Cheetos are vaguely cheese flavored, in that exact same way that grape Kool-aid is somehow related to grapes–basically in name only. If you want Cheetos and all you have in the house is super-sharp special reserve aged cheddar, you can eat as much of that cheddar as you want. Eventually, though, you're going to be grabbing your wallet and car keys and driving to the nearest convenience or grocery store and getting those Cheetos. Not that I have personal experience with this, or anything.
So, I'm going to be sharing some of my favorite "junk food" reads with you. These books are the books that I read to lighten my mood. They make me happy. Many of them were purchased very cheaply at my favorite used bookstore and were selected solely for the magnificence of their titles. They feed my inner cheese monster and keep my inner starry-eyed little sprocket from ending up cowering in a corner of my brain shaking in fear because my brain has become too scary. Some of these were tracked down through sheer determination through endless and quite possibly borderline stalker-like searching of various used bookselling sites on the web because I'd borrowed them from the library so many times that I needed to get my own copy before I wore out theirs.
The first book that I'm going to recommend is The Worldwide Dessert Contest by Dan Elish. This book is one of my favorite books in the entire world. It's actually a kids' chapter book. Rereading it became practically an annual event after I discovered it. Any embarrassment I might have felt going over to the kids' section of the library as an adult was dwarfed by the joy of reading the book again. Sadly, it had been out of print for awhile after I read it. I finally tracked a copy down when I was in college and, when it arrived in the mail, even though I had read it several times before, I sat down and read it cover to cover.
John Applefeller is a dessert chef who dreams of winning The Worldwide Dessert Contest with his apple-based specialties. Unfortunately, every dessert that he makes turns into something else during judging. One of the judges has to walk around with a caramel apple permanently stuck to one cheek, all because the caramel turned into a super-strong glue that will not dissolve, no matter what they attempt to use to dislodge it. Still, Applefeller and his assistant, Stanley enter every year. Sadly, the competition is won by Sylvester Sweet, a despicable man who sabotages everyone else's desserts shamelessly. Naturally, the judges never catch him cheating.
Applefeller's giant apple pancake, his entry in the twelfth Worldwide Dessert Contest, turns into a trampoline and, while a fun diversion for the crowd at the competition, can't be judged as a dessert. It's not edible. So Stanley convinces Applefeller to seek out Captain B. Rollie Ragoon, a reclusive master dessert chef rumored to be an extraordinary genius.
This book does get compared to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl quite a bit. I can understand those comparisons in terms of the fantasy elements. However, The Worldwide Dessert Contest is, in my opinion, a lighter and gentler story. Don't get me wrong, I love Roald Dahl's books, but there always seems to be this sinister undercurrent that feels vaguely unsettling in everything he writes, no matter how triumphant the ending. There's none of that subtle uneasiness in The Worldwide Dessert Contest.
The story a bit silly and definitely carries heavily absurdist elements, but the book is written so well that it's fun to read. One of the characters speaks chiefly in iambic pentameter. There are slapstick moments of misfortune that give the characters challenges that make a reader root for them to win. It's a little like what I think Dr. Seuss might have written if he'd decided to write a children's chapter book.
There are grayscale illustrations sprinkled through the book, usually of key objects in the story. They're beautifully done and match the author's descriptions perfectly. The world that Dan Elish created is absorbing and entertaining. It's much like reading a cartoon in the best possible way.
While The Worldwide Dessert Contest is primarily geared towards kids, it's got quite a bit to offer adult fantasy fans, as well. The writing is good. The plot moves right along in a well-paced ride that doesn't lose readers along the way. It's a unique tale set in a world where a dessert contest is essentially the World Cup, the Super-bowl, and the Olympics all rolled into one.
Even better, I've just found out that it's available in ebook format in an Enhanced Multimedia edition. My hardcover copy is in excellent shape, despite multiple re-readings. On the other hand, they've actually set the song lyrics in the book to music. This book could end up being even more fun to read than I ever thought possible. Of course, I may also end up with songs about spontaneously changing desserts in my head, too.
It's an awesome read! Enjoy

Berwick's resignation a signal of a faulty political system
It came as a surprise to no one that Donald Berwick, MD, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid, would not be carrying on in the position once his term ended on Dec. 31, but many were surprised last week when he announced his resignation would be effective on Dec. 2.
[See also: Berwick to step down at CMS, Obama nominates Tavenner .]
While much of the focus now is on Berwick's replacement – the Obama administration is nominating Marilyn Tavenner, a nurse who is the principal deputy and chief operating officer at CMS and has already served as CMS' acting administrator prior to Berwick's appointment – some in the industry are reflecting on Berwick's departure and the larger issues it signifies: a political system that is too polarized to be effective.
Berwick's resignation – and the opposition he faced in Congress – is an example of the shallowness of our political system said John Chessare, MD, president and CEO of the Greater Baltimore Medical Center. "He gave the American people a gift," said Chessare, who calls Berwick his mentor. "He accepted President Obama's request to do it (become CMS administrator) and then because of the foolishness and the pettiness of our national political system, he's leaving."
"While I do support his vision for making healthcare more patient centered, focusing on decreasing hospital mistakes and errors and making healthcare more affordable for everyone, I'm more disappointed that he's become a casualty in the political struggle over Obama's signature healthcare reform law," said Andrew Spanswick, MSW, chairman and CEO of KLEAN, a residential treatment center in West Hollywood, Calif.
The much acknowledged "problem" with Berwick wasn't his qualifications – he spent 30 years at the forefront of healthcare innovation and improvement and is widely admired in the healthcare industry – it was politics. Specifically, old writings expressing an admiration for the British National Health Service, his recess appointment by the president and so-called Obamacare in general.
[See also: Berwick grilled by Senate Finance Committee.]
"The political drama and bureaucratic struggle between the Senate and President Obama almost outshines the real issues that fall on the Administrator of Medicare and Medicaid Services, whose decisions reportedly affect 1 in 3 Americans who enter a hospital for treatment," Spanswick said. "While that's only 33 percent, I think Mr. Berwick's legacy will be centered around someone who embraced technology to better connect the fragmented health system, a battle fought for the 99 percent."
"Dr. Berwick's resignation comes as a result of hyper-focus on universally mandated healthcare coverage, and while that hot-topic issue is what's being debated, too few are talking about the effects this abrupt announcement will have on the incredible momentum that has been happening with medium to large healthcare provider organizations beginning to revamp their IT in order to provide better patient care, patient customer service and patient outcomes," said John Sung Kim, CEO of DoctorBase.com, a healthcare marketing automation service.
"From a techie perspective, politics has won over technological progress," he added. "I don't see how that's a good thing for any of us collectively – whether we agree with universal healthcare coverage or not. Many of us are missing the real tragedy of Dr. Berwick's resignation."

Television (recorded): Time Warner Cable SportsChannel, 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
Buffalo News small school poll: Randolph No. 4.
New York State Sportswriters Association Class D poll: Avon No. 2, Randolph No. 4.
Randolph in the regionals: 2-2. Lost to Lyons in 2003 (32-30); beat Elba in 2005 (42-7); lost to Bolivar-Richburg in 2007 (35-14); beat Dundee in 2009 (14-6). In the years that the Cardinals have won regionals, they have won state championships (2005 and 2009).
Avon in the regionals: First appearance.
Coaches: Randolph, Pat Slater, 33rd season (211-99-4); Avon, Andy Englert, 15th (79-52).
Randolph key players (and statistics): Jr. QB Mitch Maycock, 6-0, 185 (37-71, 653 yards, 10 TDs); Sr. RB Jordan Dowiasz, 5-10, 170 (124-1,289, 24 TDs); Sr. E Nate Beaver, 6-0, 165 (18-369, 6 TDs); Sr. E Dylan Faust, 6-0, 155 (61 tackles, 7 sacks); Jr. E Lucas Brown, 6-0, 155 (58 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 1 INT); Jr. LB Cody Oldro, 5-8, 160 (83 tackles, 1.5 sacks); Jr. E Nick Hettenbaugh, 5-10, 140 (61 tackles, 1 INT).

How they got here: Randolph beat the state's top-ranked team, previously undefeated Maple Grove, 21-0, in Section VI final. Avon routed private school Notre Dame of Batavia, 43-7, in Section V final.
Pre-snap read: Randolph is its typically hard-hitting self, but it has shown the ability to pass (unlike some years where they were almost exclusively a run team). Dowiasz was outstanding in Section VI final. Avon is a physical team that runs a spread. Avon has had its sectional path blocked in recent years by Letchworth, which defeated Maple Grove last year on its way to the state championship. Crye was named the Section V Class DD Offensive Player of the Year; seven different Avon receivers have caught a pass over 30 yards.
What's next: The winner advances to the state semifinals next Friday at 5 p.m. at Sahlen's Stadium in Rochester. The opponent will be the winner of the Central Regional between state D poll No. 3 Sandy Creek (10-0) of Section III (Syracuse area) and No. 1 Tioga (9-1) of Section IV (Binghamton area); that game is tonight at 5 at East Syracuse-Minoa.

OFJ97 Field Journal from Laura Barnard - 2/7/97Finally Friday!!! Yeah! It has been a long week. I have fixed half of the damaged data files, and I have several things going on today that are urgent, so I will have to fix the rest Monday or Tuesday of next week. It is a huge task that takes a lot of time to do. I have to "merge" several different types of files together and model them with a special type of software that we have. The software actually counts all of the resources, and accounts for what capabilities the spacecraft has. It then can generate reports that show overuse of the tape recorder, conflicts with too much data in the downlink data stream, and conflicts between instruments. Actually loading the files into the software isn't just a simple matter of sticking the files together either; all of the various parts have to be in the right time order, and all of the general file types have to be loaded in a certain order as well. I then generate reports from the models. The final reports and files will be put on CD-ROM disks for archiving so that in case this happens again we have a CD to restore the files.
Another part of my job is responding to all the pleas for help. The color printer doesn't work, my computer didn't back up last night, my monitor won't turn on... the list is fairly endless! I sometimes know how to fix the problem, but there are times when it is just easier to call someone else. The team could do that too - but I think that they like asking me first because it is one easy step. They call me, and I keep bugging people until the problem is fixed. Sometimes it is something simple, and sometimes it requires a part that won't get here for two weeks. Today I had to find out why people were not getting their computers backed up at night. We have a system that during the night while we are gone, contacts the Mac computers and backs them up (a different set of people each night). One person didn't have the software loaded correctly, and the others were all on Wednesday night backup. Apparently the tape didn't load correctly, so it didn't work that night. Finding out all of this information and correcting it took an hour of my time with the help of the system administrator.
Seeing how it is Friday - and a payday - several of us rode the local shuttle and went off lab for lunch. There were nine of us that day. Sometimes that group is smaller, but as the days are nice and the work is exhausting more of us leave the lab for a break!
When I got back I did a job that is very complex and gives me nightmares. First, you have to know that earlier in the mission the tape recorder got stuck and didn't move when we commanded it to move. We really thought that the tape was broken. This was going to be a *serious* problem, since we needed the tape recorder to store our data--if the tape recorder didn't work, we'd receive far less data. Not a pretty picture! Luckily when the tape cooled after several days of not being used, we sent commands to move it backwards. The extra tension helped the tape came loose. Since then we are *very* careful with conditioning the tape, and what it does in every sequence.
So what is my nightmare job? Basically I keep track of what the tape (on that tape recorder) is doing. This means figuring out what the tape will be doing during the sequences that we are planning, as well as the history of what the tape did in the past. Everytime that we stop the tape, move it, etc. we make a note of that motion. A spreadsheet program then calculates the risk involved in getting stuck. My report goes directly to the Mission Director and the Science and Sequence Office Manager. That's what gives me nightmares! I always worry that I will do the calculations and make some mistake, and the tape will actually stick even though my report said that it wouldn't!
Well - the weekend is starting so I better head home.

Parker County authorities ask for help in solving church thefts
The Parker County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help whoever has been stealing air conditioning units from churches.
On May 26, someone stole five of eight air conditioning units from Holy Redeemer Church on Old Weatherford Road.
About a week later, a church employee of Real Family Fellowship Church in Springtown, reported that someone stole four 5-ton air conditioning units. The stolen items were worth about $10,000.
"Our investigators are diligently working these cases," Sheriff Larry Fowler said. "We are looking into any similarities to possibly connect the crimes. We encourage the public to call us immediately with any tips or information regarding either of these cases."
Anyone with information can call the sheriff's office at 817-594-8845 or the Crime Stoppers at 817-599-5555.
Crime Stoppers will pay up to a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and indictment. Callers can remain anonymous.

Cotton farmers have put their pencils to it, but after the numbers are crunched, the Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) payment option, included in the 2008 farm bill, doesnŌĆÖt make economic sense.
For cotton, it may be as close to a no-brainer as one gets when trying to understand government programs.
For grain farmers, the decision will be a bit more complicated and may depend on crop diversity and historical farm and state yield averages.
ŌĆ£It will not work for my operation,ŌĆØ says Barry Evans, Kress, Texas, cotton and grain sorghum farmer and president of Plains Cotton Growers, Inc. ŌĆ£With cotton acreage, itŌĆÖs just not a good fit.ŌĆØ
Rickey Bearden, Plains, Texas, cotton, peanut and wheat producer, agrees. ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt think itŌĆÖs going to work for cotton,ŌĆØ he says.
ŌĆ£The market loan is still the best option for cotton. That program works well the way it is. I donŌĆÖt think we can do anything else. ACRE just doesnŌĆÖt fit us.ŌĆØ He says commodity prices make a big difference in how well the program works, too.
Evans says ACRE is at a disadvantage in a big state since payments are based on state yields. ŌĆ£The Lower Rio Grande Valley could have a good crop and we could have a bad one in West Texas and that would affect payments,ŌĆØ he says.
TheyŌĆÖve both looked at the option. ŌĆ£IŌĆÖve run the numbers,ŌĆØ Bearden says, ŌĆ£and ACRE just doesnŌĆÖt work.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£For someone with all grain, ACRE could be good,ŌĆØ Evans says. ŌĆ£And it might fit some cotton farmers who also plant grain crops. But I donŌĆÖt think a lot of cotton farmers will sign up.ŌĆØ
Evans has followed a 50 percent cotton, 50 percent grain sorghum rotation for years, but thought about reworking that in 2009 to cut back on cotton and add corn to the mix. ŌĆ£I thought about planting half as much cotton and planting corn but the 50/50 split still seems the best. It all goes back to our area being suited to cotton and grain sorghum.ŌĆØ
Bearden says ACRE has a better fit in the Midwest and he commends Congress for ŌĆ£realizing that not every program fits every farmer. ACRE may fit corn better and providing this option is a good idea. With the run-up in grain markets, it will help Midwest grain farmers. This is a step forward.ŌĆØ
They also say the ACRE requirement that once a farmer signs up heŌĆÖs committed for the life of the farm bill may discourage participation.
Louise Rigdon, who farms with her husband Bill in Kay County, Okla., says ACRE is not a good option for their soybean, grain sorghum and wheat farm. ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre just too diverse,ŌĆØ she says. ŌĆ£We looked at it, but we will sign up for the regular DCP program.ŌĆØ
She says Kay County, just below the Kansas state line, is ŌĆ£probably the most diverse agriculture county in Oklahoma.ŌĆØ
She says ACRE still has too many unknowns for farmers to feel comfortable with it, especially since after sign-up producers are committed to the program through the life of the current farm bill.
ŌĆ£The U.S. government is the only one allowed to change its mind,ŌĆØ she says. ŌĆ£Individuals cannot.ŌĆØ
Rigdon says their 2009 summer crop mix is still uncertain as they wait for final word on cropping options following failed wheat acreage.
Hannah Lipps, communications director for the National Sorghum Producers in Lubbock, says members remain uncertain about ACRE.
ŌĆ£We are not sure what to expect from sorghum growers. Many of them have base in other crops and if they have cotton base, itŌĆÖs highly unlikely they will want to sign up for ACRE because they have to consider the 30 percent reduction in loan rates. Overall, our guesstimate is that maybe 25 percent of our producers might move to ACRE.ŌĆØ
She says the number is low for two reasons: ŌĆ£Our large percentage of cotton base, and this first year, we anticipate a lot of hesitation about losing those direct, guaranteed program payments. This is amplified by the fact that ACRE canŌĆÖt be reversed ŌĆö so they are in until the next farm bill.ŌĆØ
Lipps says the sign-up extension, to Aug. 14, gives growers time to run the numbers. ŌĆ£With the deadline now in August, people should be able to have a really, really good idea of whether or not this is going to pay out before they have to commit.ŌĆØ
Wheat different
The situation could be different for wheat farmers, according to Jody Campiche, Oklahoma State University Extension economist at Stillwater.
ŌĆ£For the 2009 crop, Oklahoma wheat producers could benefit from the ACRE program,ŌĆØ Campiche says. ŌĆ£The FSA benchmark wheat yield for Oklahoma is 31.4 bushels per acre and the ACRE guarantee price is likely to be around $6.67. Since the 2009 ACRE sign-up deadline has been extended to Aug. 14, Oklahoma wheat producers will have a very good estimate of 2009 actual prices and yields. This means producers can make informed decisions about a potential 2009 ACRE payment.
ŌĆ£Right now, it looks like the 2009 U.S. market price could be below the ACRE guarantee price and due to the April freeze in Oklahoma, state and/or farm wheat yields may be lower than the benchmark yields,ŌĆØ she says. ŌĆ£This could be good news for farmers enrolled in the ACRE program. If actual yields and prices are below the benchmark levels, producers would receive a larger ACRE payment.ŌĆØ
But they still need to work the arithmetic.
ŌĆ£Producers have to consider the potential costs of enrolling in ACRE, mainly a 20 percent reduction in direct payments over the next four years,ŌĆØ Campiche says. ŌĆ£But it is quite possible that wheat producers could make up this four-year loss in direct payments with a large 2009 ACRE payment.ŌĆØ
But itŌĆÖs not that simple.
ŌĆ£Wheat producers also need to consider the possibility of a Supplemental Revenue Assistance Program (SURE) disaster payment, assuming they are eligible. For every dollar received in ACRE payments, the SURE payment is reduced by 60 cents,ŌĆØ she says. ŌĆ£Farmers could receive a higher total payment from DCP and SURE than from ACRE and SURE. This could occur if the actual farm yield is quite a bit lower than the actual state yield, which could definitely happen if some parts of the state are hit harder than others.
ŌĆ£It is really important for producers to analyze their DCP/ACRE decision carefully,ŌĆØ Campiche says. ŌĆ£OSU Extension is providing an ACRE/SURE decision tool to assist Oklahoma producers with this decision.ŌĆØ
Bearden, who also grows peanuts, says ACRE likely will not appeal to many peanut producers, most of whom also plant cotton. He says since he knew ACRE would not work with his cotton operation, an analysis for peanuts would be futile.
A payment calculation work sheet that includes peanut and cotton acreage shows an advantage with the DCP program.
Joe Outlaw, professor, Extension economist and co-director of the Agriculture and Food Policy Center at Texas A&M, in presentations this spring explaining the new farm bill, said much of the 2008 farm bill commodity title remains ŌĆ£very close to previous programs. It continues direct payments, marketing loans, loan deficiency payments and the counter-cyclical payments.ŌĆØ
That set of programs is referred to as the DCP program. ACRE is the alternative.
Outlaw says ACRE requires a producer to agree to direct payment and loan rate reductions. The option begins with the 2009 crop year, but farmers do not have to sign-up this year. It is a one-time, irrevocable option and comes with a 20 percent reduction in direct payment rates and a 30 percent reduction in marketing loan guarantee and loan deficiency payments.
ŌĆ£The (ACRE) election is for all the crops grown on each Farm Service Agency farm number,ŌĆØ Outlaw says. ŌĆ£A farmer could choose to select ACRE for certain farms (FSA farm numbers) and not others. The bottom line is that producers will have to determine whether the loss in guaranteed support is more than made up by potential gain from ACRE.ŌĆØ
ACRE is a state-level program. The secretary of agriculture can make an ACRE payment on a farm for each crop year if: The actual state revenue for the crop is less than the ACRE program guarantee for the crop, and the actual farm revenue for the crop is less than the ACRE benchmark revenue.
Outlaw said for the 2010 through 2012 crop years the ACRE state revenue guarantee for a crop shall not be decreased or increased more than 10 percent from the guarantee for the preceding crop year.
With the extended sign-up deadline, farmers have time to review operations and determine which program works best. Several association Web sites have decision-making tools available, as do state Extension Service offices and the USDA.
The Agriculture and Food Policy Center has a decision aid that may help farmers select the right program. Log onto http://afpc.tamu.edu/models/acre/index.php for more information on the aid and for other links to help determine the best program for individual farm units.

Braised Red Cabbage with Apples
On a desk in his kitchen, Frank McClelland keeps an old handwritten book of recipes (left) from his grandmother, Virginia Sutherland McClelland. This braised red cabbage dish is a close adaptation of her version–a harmonious blend of sweet, tart, and warm spice flavors.
Total Time: 35
Yield: 10-12 servings
- 1 large red cabbage, halved lengthwise, cored, and shredded
- 7 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 large white onions, diced
- 6 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 bay leaves
- 6 whole cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 cups sweet apple cider
- 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 heaping tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons firmly packed light-brown sugar, plus extra to taste
- 3 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar, plus extra to taste
InstructionsSoak cabbage in cold water 1 hour. (This step is optional, but it does take away the bitter "cabbage-y" flavors.) Strain into a colander. Preheat oven to 350°.
In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, melt butter. When butter sizzles, add onions and cook until clear, about 6 minutes. Add apples and garlic and stir 1 minute. Add cabbage, bay leaves, cloves, cinnamon stick, cider, salt, and pepper; stir well. Cover pot and bake in oven until very tender, about 1-1/2 hours.
Just before cabbage is done, whisk together cornstarch, brown sugar, and vinegar. Remove cabbage from oven and add cornstarch mixture slowly while stirring over low heat. Cook until sauce thickens, about 3 minutes. Taste sauce for sweet/sour balance; add extra sugar or vinegar if you like. Remove bay leaves before serving.

South Carolina has the sixth-highest rate of gun violence in the country, according to a new state-by-state analysis of gun violence released April 3 by the Center for American Progress.
The report, released at an event in Charleston and a series of public events across the nation, examines how each of the 50 states fare across 10 key gun-violence indicators such as firearm deaths among children, firearm homicides among women, and law-enforcement agents feloniously killed with a firearm, among others. The analysis ranks each state according to the rate of each indicator of gun violence. These rankings are then compiled to create an overall aggregate ranking of the states across all 10 indicators.
The analysis finds that South Carolina:
• Had the fourth-highest rate of women murdered by guns from 2001 through 2010
• Had the fifth-highest rate of cops killed by guns from 2002 through 2011
When the overall state ranking for the prevalence of gun violence is compared with a November 2012 Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence ranking of states based on the strength of their gun laws, the comparison reveals a significant correlation between high rates of gun violence and weak state gun laws. Key findings from the national comparison include:
• The 10 states with the weakest gun laws collectively have a level of gun violence that is more than twice as high — 104 percent higher — than the 10 states with the strongest gun laws.
• Of the 10 states with the strongest gun laws, nine are among the 25 states with the lowest levels of gun violence, including six of the 10 with the very lowest levels.
To highlight the report, CAP Action principals held events in Atlanta, Baton Rouge, Reno, South Bend, Tucson and outside Philadelphia to discuss the report's findings while standing alongside survivors of gun violence, mayors, law-enforcement officials, faith leaders and students who talked about why preventing future gun violence is important to their communities.

> How to develop the agent and mib to support?I need to make the platform
> to collect the information from the devices first,
No - the *first* thing you need to do is think about what sort of
information is relevant for this particular device. What things
might you need to find out about the device, and what actions
might you need to apply to it.
Think also about how this information might need to be organised.
Which bits are global to the box as a whole, and which bits might
potentially need to be repeated for several subsystems.
Note that word "potentially" - don't just think about the current
capabilities of the device that you're working with at the moment.
Bear in mind what might happen in the future. It is possible to
envisage one box containing multiple versions of what is currently
a single subsystem.
(e.g. a CD player will *normally* only have one drive in it, but
can potentially have several. So it's sensible to design with the
multiple-drive approach in mind, even if you don't currently expect
to use things that way).
Once you've identified your information requirements, that can
then guide both the development of interfaces to the hardware
itself (if that's something you'll be doing yourself), and the design
of the MIB module representing this information.
And do remember to check whether there's already a suitable
MIB that you can use for some or all of your requirements.
Don't re-invent the wheel.

The name is derived from the word "hals" meaning "narrow strait", between what is now Helsingør, Denmark, and Helsingborg, Sweden. The Rerum Danicarum Historica (1631) claims that the history of Helsingør can be traced back to 70 BC. The people were mentioned as Helsinger which may mean "the people of the strait" who have maintained a ferry there throughout history. Modern Helsingør was founded in the 1420s by the Danish king Eric of Pomerania. He established the Sound Dues in 1429 and built the castle 'Krogen', which was expanded in the 1580s and named Kronborg. Shakespeare's play Hamlet takes place at Kronborg Castle in Helsingør, which Shakespeare spelled "Elsinore."
The Old Vic staged a production of Hamlet directed by Tyrone Guthrie at Elsinore Castle in 1937, with Olivier as Hamlet (see next image for a photograph of this production). "Hamlet at Elsinore" is a 1964 made-for-television version of Shakespeare's play for the BBC and the U.S. NET in 1965, acclaimed for its performances and filming entirely at Elsinore, in the castle in which the play is set. Christopher Plummer played the Hamlet, Robert Shaw was Claudius, and Michael Caine, Horatio. Clips of the film are rare on television, and it has never been released on VHS or DVD. However, bits of it can be found on Youtube under this title. The film was directed by Philip Saville.

Central to US Congressional and Administration efforts to reform health care is a renewed focus on "investment in prevention and wellness."1 Translating that commitment to investing in preventive care into improved health will require a strategy for separating effective prevention from that which is ineffective or even harmful, and aligning payment strategies with practices supported by the best evidence. However, existing federal and private insurance coverage does not adequately support the delivery of clinical preventive services associated with improved quality of life and reduced premature mortality.

RELEASE: National LGBT Advocacy Groups Issue Guide to Same-Sex Couples After Historic Ruling on DOMA
Contact: Anne Shoup
Phone: 202.481.7146
Email: email@example.com
New York – In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's historic decision to strike down Section 3 of the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, 11 national LGBT advocacy organizations jointly issued a series of fact sheets to provide guidance to same-sex couples and their families as they navigate accessing federal rights, benefits, and protections.
The "After DOMA: What It Means for You" LGBT Organizations Fact Sheet Series details many of the ways federal agencies accord legal respect to married same-sex couples. The guide includes 14 fact sheets on the following topics: bankruptcy; Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA; federal employee benefits; Family Medical Leave Act, or FMLA; immigration; Medicaid; Medicare; military spousal benefits; private employment benefits; Social Security; Supplemental Security Income; taxes; Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF; and veteran spousal benefits.
There are more than 1,100 places in federal law where a protection or responsibility is based on marital status. The ruling striking down DOMA will not be effective until 25 days from the decision, but even when effective, federal agencies—large bureaucracies—may need and take some time to change forms, implement procedures, train personnel, and efficiently incorporate same-sex couples into the spousal-based system.
Until same-sex couples can marry in every state in the nation, there will be uncertainty about the extent to which same-sex spouses will receive federal marital-based protections nationwide. For federal programs that assess marital status based on the law of a state that does not respect marriages of same-sex couples, those state laws will likely pose obstacles for legally married couples and surviving spouses in accessing federal protections and responsibilities.
The fact sheets are intended to provide general information regarding major areas of federal marriage-based rights and protections offered by federal agencies. Before making a decision, it is essential that same-sex couples consult an attorney for individualized legal advice. People must make careful decisions about when and where to marry, even as advocates work toward equality.
The fact sheet series is produced together by: American Civil Liberties Union, Center for American Progress, Family Equality Council, Freedom to Marry, Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders, Human Rights Campaign, Immigration Equality, Lambda Legal, National Center for Lesbian Rights, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, and OutServe-SLDN.

US health policy analysts and payers are currently focused on the high rate of hospital readmission for patients who have been recently discharged. This issue is a particular concern for people older than 65 years and thus has become a focus of Medicare, which has implemented incentives to reduce 30-day readmission rates. Hospitals that fail to meet targets will be financially penalized.1 Acting on common sense, rather than evidence and a firm understanding of the causes of readmission, many suggest that rates could be reduced if hospitals only increased efforts to improve transitional care. Work began with greater attention to the cause of hospitalization and also on improved communication at the time of discharge and shortly thereafter.

CHARLES TOWN - Fifth-grade students at Wright Denny Intermediate School learned about bullying and ways to stop it during a skit presentation by American Public University System staff Tuesday afternoon.
October is National Bullying Awareness Month, dedicated to educating the public about bullying behavior and prevention techniques.
The presentation at Wright Denny Intermediate School featured possible bullying situations a student might face during his or her day. Scenarios included being teased on the school bus, getting made fun of in the classroom and being excluded from "the cool kids' table" in the cafeteria.
Article Photos
Journal photo by Mary Stortstrom
Members of the APUS human resources department act out a scenario in which students are passing mean-spirited notes about a peer during class. The skit presentation was part of the APUS Stand Up Against Cyber Bullying Week, done in conjunction with National Bullying Awareness Month.
After each segment, students were asked what the victim of the bullying could do to make the bullies stop. By a show of hands, nearly all of the students at the assembly felt that speaking up against a bully was important. When asked how many of the students do take a stand against a bully, fewer than a third of the students raised their hands.
The APUS staff members acting out the scenarios gave tips to the students about what they can do to help stop bullying if they witness it or are a victim of it. They told the students not to give bullies the attention they want, and to ignore bullies if they can. When that doesn't work, students were advised to tell a teacher, counselor, parent or other trusted adult about the bullying they face.
During the presentation, Matt See, social media manager for APUS, reminded students that bullying doesn't only take place at school. They or their peers may be experiencing bullying over social media platforms like Facebook, or even by text message.
"A lot of the time, schools will teach about bullying in the classroom, like the things that we were doing, but they don't think about the fact that kids are getting bullied on Facebook or via text messages," See said. "(Students) don't think it's as real because they think it's anonymous."
The American Public University System helped raise awareness of cyber bullying last week with a Stand Up Against Cyber Bullying campaign. Information about cyber bullying and how to recognize and report it was made available to APUS students and staff online, via Facebook posts, Tweets and blogs.
The week ended with a show of solidarity Friday, when APUS asked students, staff and the community to stand up wherever they were at 11 a.m. to show they are taking a stand against cyber bullying.
"Our students really took a big part in it," See said. "They were posting pictures (online) on Friday at 11 saying, 'Here I am, standing up,' and a lot of our staff did the same thing. It was a way for us to say that we recognize cyber bullying is a problem and we're standing up against it."

There is a Marlin 39a at my local gunshop [$450]. New. So with the Remington buy out, and reports of quality issues, is it a good idea to buy it? I looked it over on Saturday, and it seemed to be good, but not sure if it is something [in the QC] that can't be seen on visual inspection.

By DAVID DRIVER
OWINGS MILLS, Md. – Amherst Regional High School graduate James Ihedigbo is one of the few football standouts to play at the high school, college and pro level within the confines of the Bay State.
After high school, he stayed in Amherst and starred at the University of Massachusetts. As a pro, the 28-year-old played last season for the New England Patriots, who advanced to the Super Bowl before losing to the New York Giants.
Though Ihedigbo, a 6-foot-1 reserve safety, is with the Baltimore Ravens this season, that doesn't mean he has lost touch with some of his former UMass coaches and New England teammates.
He said he keeps in touch with former UMass head coach Don Brown, now on the staff at the University of Connecticut as the defensive coordinator. He also talks to Keith Dudzinski, the former UMass defensive coordinator, now the linebackers coach at the University of Maryland.
"His wife and my fiancée are very close," Ihedigbo said of Dudzinksi, who is just down I-95 in College Park.
Ihedigbo says he also talks every Saturday with Bob Shoop, defensive backs coach at UMass in 2006, who is now the defensive coordinator at Vanderbilt. "Those are guys I have a great relationship with," he said before a recent Ravens practice.
Ihedigbo also talks to former New England teammate Kyle Arrington, a fourth-year cornerback from Hofstra who played against Ihedigbo in college. Marquice Cole, another fourth-year cornerback with the Patriots, is another good friend.
So does the former Amherst High standout have any insight into the struggles of the New England defense this season?
"I am a fan of the game so I play attention to what goes on. Every team is going to face injuries and it looks like they have had that a little bit," he said of the Patriots. "I can't comment because I am not in that building. My focus is here in this building in what we do."
The Ravens have had their own issues on defense. On Oct. 21, they gave up 420 yards 43-13 loss to Houston, a week after losing middle linebacker Ray Lewis and defensive back Lardarius Webb for what could be the rest of the season.
"There are two ways you can approach it," Ihedigbo said of the injuries. "You can drop your head or (make sure) the next guy plays at a high level. We lost two great players, there is no doubt about it. Guys have to step up and make plays.
"We just have to continue to do our job," he added. "Our goals are still there in front of us. We have to continue to work together and trust each other and do our jobs to the best of our abilities."
The 5-2 Ravens have a bye this week.
As a running back, Ihedigbo was a two-time All-Western Massachusetts standout at Amherst High, compiling 1,012 yards and 18 touchdowns his senior year. He was selected to the Shrine Chowder Classic Bowl and also played basketball and lacrosse and ran track at Amherst.
Ihedigbo was a walk-on at UMass who became a three-year starter in the defensive secondary. He had 257 career tackles, including 72 as a senior. He had 74 tackles as a redshirt freshman in 2003 with the Minutemen.
Ihedigbo signed with the New York Jets as a rookie free agent in 2007. He played in eight games with the Jets in 2008, 15 the next season and 14 in 2010. Ihedigbo played in 16 games with the Patriots last season and had 69 tackles.
He was waived by the Patriots on Aug. 31 and picked up just days later by the Ravens. Ihedigbo has seven tackles through the first half of the season.
"It has gone well," he said of joining the Ravens. "I worked my butt off to learn the defense and execute it. I am playing with a great bunch of guys here with a relentless attitude. It is an honor to be a part of it."

In a smaller garden -- 60' x 40'/18.3 x 12.2 m -- a 3'/.9 m-tall fence will keep deer at bay, since they don't like to jump into a confined area. Ordinary snow fencing works fine for this purpose. If your garden is larger, for a single fence to be effective, it needs to be 8'/2.4 m tall to prevent deer from jumping over it. Or consider installing two shorter fences, which actually are quite effective because deer find it difficult to jump both fences. Try a 4'/1.2 m-tall chicken-wire or wire mesh fence with a single strand of electric fencing located 2 1/2 '/.76 m off the ground and 3 feet (.9 m) outside the first fence. (To prevent raccoons, use a three-strand electric fence, with strands separated 3"-4'/7.6-10.2 cm, and the lowest strand 3"/7.5 cm off the ground.) Electrified-netting portable fence, which comes in a roll with posts installed in the netting, is another easy solution for keeping a wide range of critters at bay. They're also easy to take down at the end of the season for garden cleanup. Since rabbits and groundhogs tend to dig under fences, install the fence with an underground extension or dig a trench around the base of an existing fence and line it with chicken wire. Bend the lower edge of the chicken wire out at a 90-degree angle. You can also reinforce an ordinary picket fence with chicken wire if rabbits are your primary pests: Attach a 2'-3'/.6 or .9 m-wide section to the base of the fence, and ideally, use it to line a trench dug along the base of the fence.

Powerline networking specialist devolo is working on intelligent solutions for energy networks in Europe, together with key partners in the technology and energy sectors. As a research company, devolo intends to utilise its expertise as a member of the OMS Group and EEBus organisation and together with other members, provide open standards that are relevant for real-world application.
The EEBus networking concept for the smart home and the smart grid
As a member of the EEBus e.V. organisation, devolo is joining one of the most important standardisation initiatives in the smart communication sector. Members of this committee are jointly developing a standardised networking concept for the smart grid and smart home. Through consistent real-world applications, the results of the field tests have had a direct influence on the EEBus software, with the organisation intending to achieve global interoperability between smart home components. For this reason, constant communication with international committees and standardisation organisations is needed. EEBus has set the goal of implementing its solution as an open standard on the German, European and global market.
The OMS Group defines standards for utility meters
In order to standardise utility meter communication within the smart home, key groups and companies have joined together in the Open Metering System (OMS) Group. Using the OMS Specification, the group has developed the European standard (EN 13757-x) for utility meters. With devolo already offering a product that guarantees a stable and secure transmission of meter data, the company decided to join the OMS Group. OMS is the only European standard that integrates all utilities including electricity, gas, heat and water into a central metering system. devolo, with its Powerline expertise, will develop and test additional solutions for a simple connection between utility meters and the infrastructure.
Heiko Harbers, CEO of devolo AG said: "As a research company, communication with other participants in the industry is key in order to be able to design the future of the intelligent energy network together. We are pleased to be able to bring our expertise to both the OMS Group committee and EEBus e.V., and in return we benefit from the expertise of our partners. Our objective is to create open standards for the energy networks of the future together."
Information on EEBus e.V. can be found at www.eebus.org. The website of the OMS Group is www.oms-group.org.

by Kurt Aschermann and Gerard P.O'Shea
Neither Aschermann (a high school phys ed teacher) nor O'Shea (a communications teacher) has played major league baseball. But their book offers coaches and parents a lot of common sense advice and a sound sense of priorities to pass on to their young players. What children should be playing for, they argue, is fun, learning, growing and winning, in that order. It's something to think about for every Little League coach contemplating a Billy Martinish tantrum. (Fireside, $6.95)

Community members and personnel at The University of Texas-Pan American learned about the Texas Tomorrow Fund during a presentation Tuesday, April 10 at the Student Union Theatre.
Sponsored by Personnel Services, the presentation explained the innovative pre-paid tuition program that helps Texas families send their children to college.
""This is a very unique program that allows people to pay tomorrow's college tuition at today's prices," said Liz Arenas, representative of the Texas Tomorrow Fund. "And it is constitutionally guaranteed by the state."
The program allows anyone-including parents, grandparents, relatives, friends, businesses or clubs-to pay for college tuition at a locked-in rate when purchased during a given year. The State of Texas will honor the purchase, Arenas said.
To qualify, the child must be a Texas resident under age 18 who has not graduated from high school.
Norma Campos, UTPA human resource specialist, said the Texas Tomorrow Fund is a great alternative for parents to pay for their child's college expenses.

UNEP FI Convenes Oceania Consultation on Sustainable Insurance Principles
September 2011: As part of its work to develop sustainability principles for the insurance industry, the UN Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) convened a consultation with Oceania stakeholders from 11-12 August 2011, in Auckland, New Zealand. The meeting was the fourth of seven UN-convened regional consultation meetings on the sustainability principles for the insurance industry.
The consultation was hosted by Sovereign, New Zealand's largest life insurer. Once complete, the UNEP FI's Principles for Sustainable Insurance (UNEP FI-PSI) are intended to serve as the global framework for insurance companies to manage environmental, social and governance risks and opportunities in their core business strategies and operations. It is envisaged that the principles will include concrete actions that: enhance risk management and underwriting practices; stimulate innovative insurance solutions; and catalyze industry action on sustainability issues including natural catastrophe risks, climate change, ecosystem degradation, ageing populations and emerging health risks.

This is a social ride, at a conversational pace, around the south end of Lake Washington. Allow about 2 hours. The ride may stop for 5-10 minutes along the way, but otherwise, be prepared for a continuous ride. This ride happens in rain, wind, or sunshine! Bring a functioning road bike (full fenders are appreciated on damp days), helmet, water, some food, weather-appropriate clothing, a little money, and an extra tube in case you flat.

Wendy and Hank Paulson, we welcome you back to College Hill, which you first came to know when your son Merritt, Class of 1995, was here as a student. In a way, you now have another tie to the College, or at least its namesake, for in 2006, you, Hank, became the most recent successor to Alexander Hamilton, our first Secretary of the Treasury.
In addition to ties to Hamilton, you have in common a passionate dedication to the environment, and especially wildlife conservation. While residing during much of your married life in the suburbs of Chicago, you spent your free time in outdoor pursuits, including hiking and kayaking, with occasional trips to far-off places to observe the flora and fauna. During the years that you, Hank, pursued your career at Goldman Sachs, rising from entry-level associate to chief executive officer of that premier investment banking and asset management firm, you, Wendy, devoted your time and volunteer efforts to environmental education. This included many years of teaching and guiding urban children along nature's paths, introducing them to its wonders, particularly of the ornithological kind.
Both of you have taken leadership roles in organizational efforts on behalf of conservation. Wendy, you chair the board of Rare, a U.S.-based group that works globally to counter environmental threats, and have also been vice-chairman of the board of the Nature Conservancy, the worldwide environmental organization, as well as chairing its Illinois and New York chapters. Hank, besides having chaired the board of the Nature Conservancy and co-chaired its Asia-Pacific Council before you became Secretary of the Treasury, you are chairman emeritus of the Peregrine Fund, dedicated to the preservation of birds of prey in the wild.
Throughout your busy lives, you both have somehow succeeded in generously allocating time to pursue your wholehearted commitment to the cause of conservation and ecological preservation. To that end, you have jointly founded the Bobolink Foundation, which you, Wendy, run, to support education projects and programs aiding conservation. If our planet is to survive as fit for life of any kind, that cause must be universally embraced, and you together have set an example that it behooves us all to emulate.
Wendy J. and Henry M. Paulson, Jr., acting on the authority of the Board of Trustees, I am pleased to confer on each of you the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, admitting you to all of its rights and privileges. In token whereof, we present you with these diplomas and invest you with these hoods.

Very good idea. I give 3 stars for just the idea.
But the design looks so bad. Especially the fonts are just like a Linux distribution of 10 years ago. Also look at the live news feed extension: https://addons.opera.com/addons/extensions/details/live-news-feed/1.10/
It has light colors not grey and looks great with that fonts. You can redesign this with light background, colors.
Also, if you have many dials, it just shows 3 lines of twits, so there should be pages like live news feed, and so, if you set it to 3 pages, it shows last 3 pages of the newest twits by changing in a refresh interval.
Wow... I really enjoyed this extension... I mean, I just get my pin and already updated!
Really nice job!
I want to do a suggestion:
-With a configuration (On or Off) activate: Lock and use mouse to view more. Or better, draging mouse can see more tweets.
Really nice Speed Dial extension. My only complaint is the chrome; it's too much here in my opinion. Just a straight up, clean display would have made this fantastic.
P.S.: I'd recommend reversing the vertical gradient and box shadow on your text input box in the preferences, a text box popping out makes no sense visually. :B
I liked that extension
I really love that! thats a great way of keeping track fastly but id recommend one little change if possible -> if you click on that app lets you redirect to the twitter page WITH a loged in status since the app uses our login detail anyway
Not working via https protocol.
Can I set smaller fonts and thumbnails?
Brilliant :)
great, it requires a restart upon installation but after that works fine!
It's not working in my computer because my internet connection only allow me to open Twitter via https protocol.
It seem this extension only support http protocol, not https. There should be an option to switch between http or https for retrieving data from timeline.
