Right smack in the middle of preparing for his upcoming tour, which kicks off in April, Kenny Chesney has decided to warm up his vocals on the Grammy stage Sunday night.
Though this will be his first ever performance on the award show, Chesney says he isn't nervous.
"Preparing for the Grammys is just a day of prep," he tells PEOPLE at his rehearsal Friday, adding, "The surroundings are the same as all of the other awards shows so I'm kind of comfortable."
Plus he'll have good pals like Kid Rock there to cheer him on. "I haven't seen him on this trip [yet]," chuckles Chesney. "I imagine we'll go eat some sushi somewhere or something. See what we can get into!"
Though the reigning CMA and ACM entertainer of the year may party it up with his pal over the weekend, he plans to strip down his usual "high-energy" approach on Sunday. "People are so used to me doing the big performance with a lot of guitar and video screens," he says. "The kind of song that I'm doing at the Grammys, I don't do many songs like this even in my own show. It's a departure for me, but I think it's a good one."
And just how happy would the country superstar be to take home one of those golden gramophones this year? "I've been lucky enough to win a lot of awards but this is one that is absent for sure," Chesney, who is nominated for best country collaboration, says. "If I win I'll find a pretty prominent spot for it."

The films of that age have been forgotten for a long time, having become somehow invisible. And yet, some films have survived. The work of many film archives and cinematheques in the 1970s and the 1980s understood the value of that forgotten heritage, and they undertook an endless activity of research and restoration that is responsible for drawing new attention to early cinema. At the same time, scholars realized the importance of those films. They discovered that they could retrieve and analyze the ongoing shaping of the film language by revealing traces of a primitive editing, framing, and the beginning of narration by images.
The focus of the Udine Conference will be "Cinema and Other Arts." The speakers will address the variety of relationships that cinema established not only with literature, painting, and theatre, but also with comics, architecture, fashion, and advertising in cinema's feverish attempt to gain artistic legitimization and cultural acknowledgment.
There will be more than fifty speakers, including Tom Gunning, Jacques Aumont, Mel Gordon, Richard Abel, André Gaudreault, François Jost, Raymond Bellour, Roger Odin, Pierre Sorlin, Francesco Casetti and Giampiero Brunetta. This list highlights just some of the scholars who have marked the traditions and methodologies of film studies over the last several decades.
Daily sessions, devoted to lectures and discussions, will be flanked by evening screenings in which a selection of rare films recently restored by European cinematheques will be presented to the audience.

IEA: More Oil, Higher Prices, Global Warming
Bill Roth, Triple Pundit
Google images
The International Energy Agency (IEA) World Energy Outlook for 2012 has received tremendous media attention by forecasting that the U.S. is poised to displace Saudi Arabia as the world's largest oil producer. This is great news for our economy because imported oil acts as a tax retarding our economic growth. However, the other IEA key findings were that energy prices are going up and our energy system, even with more oil, is still unsustainable.

Yes, it's Met Gala day! I know, so exciting! And it's La Wintour! I'm sure the nice folks at PETA are only raged, which means I love it. Although … I'm not sure I love it. It's Prada, does that mean I should love it? Nyeh.
This saddens me, because Zac Posen seems lovely, and I loved Amber Heard in that Playboy TV programme whose name I have forgotten and whose plot was really awful and basically just a way to put her in a bunny costume and have Eddie Cibriani look unconscionably hot 24/7. Seriously, there is nothing wrong with that scenario.
I have been holding my journalistic tongue about ScarJo because I feel I have a duty to be relatively impartial, but, despite the fact that she looks like a delightful meringue in this costume, I have this to say: f*ck you, ScarJo. I can not stand your insufferable face, and I wish someone in the Avengers Assemble movie had thought to get as sick of looking at your ass as I did after three minutes.
Sarah Jessica Parker! And Valentino! Love! Mostly because her dress reminds me of curtains from my childhood. So nostalgic.
Mary-Kate, I love you! Even if you look like a haggard old lady. Who am I kidding? I love haggard old ladies! They're the only reason I ever go to the Marks & Spencer rooftop café. It is full of old people. It's the old folks' Mecca.
Y'know, I don't hate this as much as the world seems to. I love that K-Stew takes chances, and her shoes remind me of the very pair I put in today's column! I have a finger on the pulse, kittens, you heard it here first.
Jessica Biel, hear this: EASE UP ON THE COSMETIC SURGERY.
If Robert Downey Jr were there, he would never have let this happen. That is all.
Why is Florence Welch even there?! With Sarah Burton and Cate Blanchett, of all things. How ridiculous. My whole world is askew.
Who wouldn't want to go for drinks with this girl? Not me. But I'd lend her a pair of jeans first, because I'm kind of afraid that if she sat down I'd see her lady garden.
I love this photograph, for the purity of the diagonal line. That is about all I love in it, although I can appreciate that Elizabeth Banks is taking her Hunger Games character to heart. Is she going to dress like this until the trilogy is complete?
Lovely shoes, excellent Bjork sentiment. Christina needs to come out to play more often.
Another metallic wonder, and another dress I really like. With all of that forgiving draping, I would totally wear that. I love a bit of draping, I do. I, however, would not age as badly as Cameron Diaz because I have meat on my bones. It helps one age less quickly, you know.
So there you have it! Some people wore great dresses, some did not, and I am going to age much better than Cameron. Aren't you glad you made it this far?

Justin Masterson did it again, further establishing himself as one of the most dominant pitchers in the American League by pitching another 7 innings and only allowing one run. Masterson did allow 9 hits, but the defense behind him turned three double plays and only one of the hits was for extra bases. He won his third 'Player of the Game' of the season with a score of 5.23. It would have been nice to tack on another win for the big guy, but the Indians offense was nonexistent tonight.
Feathers Up
Shin-Soo Choo threw out his 5th base runner of the season today, tying him for the AL lead in outfield assists. Not only did he throw out a runner at third (the longest possible distance to throw from right field) with a perfect throw, but he also delayed the end of the game by one batter when a single was hit to right with a runner on second in the 12th. The Angels won anyway, but were at least stopped for the moment as their fear of Choo would not let them risk sending the runner home.
The bullpen stood up and pitched something ridiculous the past two games. Both games went deep into extra innings and the bullpen was forced to pitch 9.2+ innings in the span of two games. The pen as a whole gave up only 3 runs in what amounted to an entire game. Vinnie Pestano, Rafael Perez and Joe Smith each pitched in both games and all were as good or better in the second game compared to the first. Pestano did blow the save yesterday and Chris Perez gave up a run, but it didn't matter since the Tribe won anyway. Tonight Justin Germano gave up the game winning run on 4 straight singles (including a ground-rule single to end the game), but you can hardly blame him as he hasn't been allowed to pitch since April 28th, over a week ago. No pitcher can expect to stay sharp when he doesn't get to pitch in a game for a week.
Feathers Down
Justin Masterson had some bad luck today, leading to him giving up 9 hits. As a ground ball pitcher, Masterson is extremely dependent on the fielding of his infielders and the luck of where the ground balls are hit. Tonight things did not go his way, and he gave up 5 infield singles out of the 8 total singles allowed.
Its really hard to win when you don't score, even with the dominant pitching performances that have been turned in of late by Masterson and Tomlin. For some reason the Indians offensive juggernaut that has destroyed every pitcher to take the mound in Progressive field, turns into a bunch of Pete Rose style slap single hitters on the road. Right now the Indians have played 16 games on the road and 15 at home. In Cleveland, the Indians are scoring a very impressive 6.2 runs per game, but on the road they only have managed 3.9 runs per game. Progressive Field has never really been known as a hitters park, especially this early in the season, but there is something there that is bringing out the Tribe bats. If any further evidence is needed, the Indians have hit 27 home runs at home and only 7 on the road. They are yet to hit a homer on the current road trip. While the Indians have faced tough pitching, especially in Oakland and Anaheim, the pitchers in Seattle, Kansas City and Minnesota were mostly AAAA scrubs.
Final Score: Cleveland Indians 1, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California Angels 2

I find myself shopping at Uncommon Goods again, as Valentines Day approaches. This catalog and website specializes in recycled products and gifts, with an unbelievable assortment of items.
Just recently I bought a beautiful recycled fiber scarf for a special someone--a scarf that I wouldn't have minded owning myself. Their glassware is amazing also.
A box of chocolates might be enticing for this Valentines holiday, but unwelcome when hubby is trying to eat healthier. In my search to find something meaningful in the spirit of Valentines Day, I came upon this wonderful idea.
Packed into a recycled fiberboard box , these chocolate-scented love notes arrive blank, allowing you to do it yourself. I'm having fun with this, using fond memories and special, hubby-only sorts of notes. Ooo--la-la!

Ethiopia - Widow of accused drug dealer gets probation
Source: daytondailynews
XENIA — The widow of an accused Yellow Springs drug dealer was put on five years probation for her role in a drug ring that imported cocaine and marijuana to Greene County.
Bekelech M. Asefa, 26, [a native of Ethiopia] from Canal Winchester near Columbus, pleaded guilty to attempted complicity to racketeering and money laundering in October. She agreed to forfeit a car, cash and property. Judge J. Timothy Campbell sentenced her Tuesday, Dec. 15.
Asefa was married to Umoja "Iddi" Bakari, who hanged himself in a Georgia jail in 2008. He had fled the Columbus area when police raided homes he owned.

Northwest NEWS

Roundabout like the teacup ride at Disneyland
As some Duvall and Carnation residents know, the state Department of Transportation (DOT) is planning on installing a roundabout at the intersection of SR 203 and Northeast 124th Street. This is scheduled for next year. The plans call for it to be constructed as a one-lane roundabout with a second lane to be added later "as traffic volumes warrant."
I have done my homework on this subject and have gotten some very helpful and generous information on the project from DOT engineers. But after all I have learned, I remain strongly opposed to this idea.
Roundabouts work in some places, but this isn't one of them. SR 203 is a 55 mph highway traveled by a lot of heavy trucks - trucks with horse trailers, school buses, etc. I'm not convinced a 2-lane roundabout would be safe to navigate side-by-side with a dump truck hauling a trailer.
Several times now I have been told by supporters of the roundabout that, "they work great in Europe!" Well, they also drive small Mr. Beanmobiles in some of those European roundabout places and most of us don't. This is a semi-rural area; European roundabouts seem to be more prevalent in cities.
Installing a roundabout will be more expensive than a traffic light. The construction mess will be greater. Do we really need the construction mess after dealing with the 124th Street bridge closure and now the upcoming Woodinville-Duvall Bridge closure? And the growing mess on Novelty Hill Rd. due to development? And flood traffic?
It is my understanding that this intersection was once the town of Novelty. I believe the white barn next to the llama pasture was built out of wood from the old Novelty church. A roundabout would almost certainly encroach upon that land, so now we're erasing an already nearly invisible history.
There's a major trail that crosses 124th near that intersection. How good can a large roundabout be for that? And I say large because I've been told cars will be able to travel through it at 45 mph. It needs to be said that allowing major construction (roundabout) at that intersection is environmental hypocrisy.
Every time 124th floods, we get to sit in unreasonable traffic. This week, after I'd polished my dashboard, carefully picked spilled Cream of Rice granules off the passenger seat and trimmed my bangs while sitting in flood traffic (okay, not really, but you get the point), it hit me: WHY does 124th continue to flood? We're not a primitive society, we have brilliant road engineers who can help us. Why hasn't 124th been raised to escape the floodwaters over its past 100 years of use? Why do we tolerate this?
And I believe I read in the paper a few years back that it is because someone, somewhere, is worried about renegade pasture salmon. Something to the effect that you can't raise the road or put a culvert underneath it because it might endanger the salmon. Well, how about the human in cardiac arrest who's endangered when the ambulance can't take the most direct route to Overlake? So, it's not okay to alter Northeast 124th Street, but it is okay to tear up one end of it to make a roundabout? Hello, McFly? And don't even tell me the funding's not there. We taxpayers were recently committed to the corporate welfare of paying millions of dollars to enhance Novelty Hill Road.
Just as King County is doing at the other end of 124th, we just need a traffic light. We could use a couple turn lanes too. It's a more efficient use of land, cheaper. It will probably get done quicker and won't make anyone dizzy or confused.
It's more respectful to the already traffic-tormented Valley residents and to the land. We tolerate slow dump trucks, flooding, and construction messes to live here - more traffic mess than small-town residents should tolerate. We do it because we love our land and we value our small-town life-style. So please, DOT, do not make that intersection into an urban social experiment. We have faith that you can do much better!
I know that the state has the scientific data to support their decision, but if we felt like going in circles we could just head for the teacup ride at Disneyland or get involved in the Sound Transit light rail project. Please, spare us the grief and just give us some good old-fashioned all-American RYG on a stick (red, yellow and green).
The roundabout situation is like a kid wishing for a pet goldfish for Christmas and getting a moray eel instead. Santa's intentions were good, but the kid is bewildered and does not want to bother with the more complex, higher maintenance, unfamiliar and impractical exotic eel. Installing traffic lights and turn lanes before this summer's bridge closure is imperative. Otherwise, Snoqualmie Valley, USA, meet Picadilly Circus. Why, let's just name it "Novelty Circus" for the heck of it.
Maybe someday we can add some hot dog vendors and statues of Greek gods to it, too. But then the hot dog vendors would be taxed out of business and all move to Idaho, and the statues would be some radical artist's interpretation and wind up looking like metal chairs with pieces of spray-painted PVC pipe sticking out of them. Wait, they actually are!
Forgive the cynicism, but we small town residents do need to stand up and fight for our life-style before we're all swallowed up into cosmopolitan conformity. I see the roundabout as one step closer to urban life. No thanks.
(A sincere thanks goes out to the officers who direct traffic during flood closures, they do a great job keeping order in the midst of chaos.)

Thank you for kind words, everyone. Now, I am taking a break from cabbages and beets (though I have plenty of cabbages and beets up my sleeve!)
Bulgarian Lecho (Really, it is likely to remind you of the antipasti, but that's what it's called in the Byzantium part of the Roman Empire)
2 large (regular) or 3 medium (Japanese) or ~ 2 lbs of small round Eggplants
2 'meaty' red bell peppers
1 small jalapeño pepper (don't use in conjunction with cayenne!)
3-4 garlic cloves
2 medium carrots or 8 -10 baby carrots, diced into ~ ½-1/4 inch pieces
1 large onion
~ 2 cups of diced or plum tomatoes or 3 to 4 large beefsteak tomatoes
Spices: black peppercorns (~ ½ teaspoon), coriander seeds (~ ½ teaspoon), cumin (1/4 teaspoon), cayenne pepper (1/4 teaspoon or to taste), mild paprika (~ ½ tbsp)
Coconut oil (as needed, up to ¼ cup, normally)
Preheat the broiler. Get a couple of large baking sheets and line them with foil. Put ~ 2 tbsp of coconut oil into micro and let it melt into liquid. It takes about 30-40 sec for my micro, but you know yours! Take a brush and brush the foil on the sheets.
Cut the bell peppers in half, clean them out, press to flatten on the foiled sheet. Chop onion into large pieces (think stir-fry). Cut eggplants into long stripes about ½ inch thick and 3-4 inches long (I like that more than rounds, you can fit more on the sheet that way). If using fresh tomatoes, cut them in half. Arrange on the foiled sheets in the artistic fashion. Or non-artistic fashion. The main thing it all should fit. Brush with coconut oil. Set under the broiler until peppers' skin blackens.
Get the peppers out. If the rest of the veggies look like they need more tan, slip them back in. Wrap the peppers in the Cyrano or throw into a plastic bag squeezing out excess air. Let them dream pepper dreams for a while.
Meanwhile, toast the spices, and give them a whirl in the grinder, just to break them up (woo-hoo, fragrance!)
Now, get a really BIG pan. Throw in coconut oil, the broiled eggplants and the onions, and the carrots (but reserve the broiled tomatoes, if using). Dump spices on top of it, crush the garlic cloves (alternatively, you could have rolled garlic in foil and let it bake with other veggies, then you'd squeeze it in), and braise on low, mixing it once in a while.
Meanwhile, peel the blackened skins off the peppers and slice them. Add bell peppers in, stir. When it looks too dry, dump the can of tomatoes in, breaking up the plum or broiled tomatoes as you go, diced will go as is. If it looks too dry, add more tomatoes.
Cover up and simmer on low till it looks and smells good and before it turns to mush (Eggplant caviar recipe comes latter! That's when you want mush).
Store in the containers of your choice (I love glass jars), in the fridge and serve cold as a side to meats. It works great hot as well if you throw in ground beef or stir-fried beef.

The good news is there are things women over 50 can do to stop or minimize hair loss and help jumpstart re-growth. The bad news is not everything works for every woman. With all the choices available, it's helpful to get feedback from experts about remedies that work — and those that don't.
The experts weigh in on Rogaine, Propecia, spironolactone, corticosteroids, and biotin
The doctors I spoke with give the green light to these five most-talked-about solutions, but emphasize that any treatment should be under the guidance of a medical specialist. All agree there is still plenty of room for new developments and concrete evidence from clinical trials in progress. Cloning anyone?
Dr. Joshua Zeichner, Director of Cosmetic and Clinical Research in the Department of Dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, gets it just right: "Treatment for female pattern baldness is a challenge and we need more clinical trials to assess which medicines really do work. There is no single solution and many different treatment options."
Rogaine (minoxidil)
Rogaine is the brand name for the topical over-the-counter drug minoxidil and is available in 2 % strength for women and 5 % strength for men. It seems to work best for women with thinning hair in the crown area and those with early hair loss. It's proven to reverse hair loss by increasing the blood supply to the scalp and revitalizing shrunken follicles. You have to use it daily for life to maintain growth although it can plateau and stop working or not work at all for some women. It is the only OTC topical drug approved by the FDA for hair loss and regrowth. Dermatologists often direct female patients to try the 5% male version in the newer foam formula. Be careful not to get any on your face! Although the market is clogged with other generic brands of 2% minoxidil hair regrowth topicals marketed to women, Rogaine is the only one actually approved by the FDA to date.
Propecia is the brand name for finasteride, a daily prescription-only pill that is a DHT blocker. It works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase which in turn inhibits production of the hair follicle killer DHT. And again the benefits stop if you stop taking it. Propecia is approved by the FDA for hair loss in men but is only prescribed cautiously for women who are past menopause since it can cause serious birth defects in male fetuses. Sometimes Rogaine and Propecia are suggested as a duo solution. Either one or both as a team work for some women although they are far from being a surefire solution.
Some drugs are prescribed "off-label" to deal with hair loss. One of these is spironolactone (Aldactone is the brand name), a diuretic or water pill used to reduce excess fluid in the body without causing potassium loss. It's also used to treat high blood pressure. Off-label it slows down production of androgens in the adrenals and ovaries of women and blocks DHT from binding to the hair follicles, thereby preventing shrinkage of the follicles and ultimate loss. Another off-label DHT inhibitor sometimes prescribed for women (but more often for men) is Avodart, the brand name for dutasteride.
Monthly injections of cortisone- an anti-inflammatory- directly onto the scalp are a treatment for alopecia areata, hair loss in quarter size bald patches. This is usually an autoimmune disorder. This procedure does not work for genetic female pattern baldness.
Biotin, B-vitamins and other vitamin supplements
While supplements are no substitute for a healthy hair-friendly diet, most dermatologists say extra biotin (vitamin B7) is a good idea. The recommended daily intake (RDI) for biotin is 300 mcg but higher dosages are often suggested by doctors as being more effective. Dr. Fredric Brandt, with dermatology practices in N. Y. C. and Coral Gables, Florida, says, "Biotin supplements of 5,000 mcg a day do help promote healthier hair." A diet that is inadequate in B vitamins, iron or protein can trigger shedding although a trendy high protein diet can also be a culprit.
Dr. Joshua Zeicher adds, "Low levels of vitamin B12 have been associated with alopecia for years, and I treat some patients with female pattern hair loss with vitamin B-complex shots every two to four weeks. The patients are satisfied and feel that they are not only losing less hair but also growing hair in some cases. Biotin is another vitamin in the B family that is important for hair and nail growth. It is not in the complex we inject here at Mt. Sinai and we sometimes recommend patients take biotin supplements. Some women do report that their hair has improved with the addition of these vitamins to their diet."
No one-size-fits-all solution
If you're thinking hair loss treatments are still pretty much a case of trial and error, you're absolutely right. Every woman experiencing hair loss is an individual, personal case. There is no one-size-fits-all answer — your treatment choice depends on factors unique to you.
For example, Beverly Hills hair restoration surgeon Dr. Gary Perrault says, "For some patients a prescription for the drug spironolactone stops female pattern baldness cold. For others, it doesn't work at all." He adds, "Rogaine can be very helpful in prolonging the growth cycle of the hair but some women find it a chore and say it interferes with their styling routine. I encourage even transplant patients to use it once a day before bed. However, I'm not a fan of vitamin supplements that claim to combat hair loss — a healthy diet should be the basis for getting nutritional benefits."
Dr. Catherine A. Orentreich of the Orentreich Medical Group in New York City is a female hair loss specialist who sometimes finds patients resistant to using topicals like minoxidil. She notes, "Rogaine can be sticky and if you don't wash your hair every day your scalp can feel itchy. Women say they don't want to mess up their hair by using it. I see attractive women in their 50s all the time with recession so advanced you can see through the hair to the scalp. Even when I suggest topical treatments and oral medication they sometimes resist. What any hair loss doctor hopes to accomplish is to stabilize the loss and minimize it- stop the shedding. What works best is different for every patient depending on the cause and degree of shedding. But patients themselves need to be open to treatment and trying different solutions to achieve the best results."
Dr. Joshua Zeichner agrees that not everything works for everyone: "Hair loss in women is a complex issue without an easy solution. Some doctors are actually injecting minoxidil along with other active ingredients directly into the scalp to stimulate the roots of the hair. Some dermatologists treat female pattern hair loss with a hormonal approach. Some give their post menopausal patients the drugs finasteride or dutasteride to block the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which is a more powerful androgen. Others prescribe spironolactone, a pill used at high doses to treat blood pressure which can be used at lower doses to decrease production of testosterone and block DHT."
Other supplements and vitamins to nourish thin hair and combat hair loss
Nutritional deficiencies can play a role in hair loss and doctors agree that extreme diets and inadequate nutrition are a bad idea for overall hair health. Dr. Deborah S. Sarnoff, Director of Dermatologic Surgery at Cosmetique in New York City and Clinical Professor of Dermatology at New York University Medical Center says diet matters: "You can't beat a healthy balanced diet for maintaining healthy hair. Supplements should not be viewed as a replacement for the protein we get from eggs, fish, poultry and soy or the vitamins and minerals we get from fresh vegetables and fruit. However, I do think omega-3 fatty acids help. So can biotin — it strengthens hair and nails."
A balanced diet is a good idea for overall health, but just switching from a fad diet back to good nutrition won't improve your hair quality overnight, especially if your dieting has been extreme and long-term for years. Malnutrition can produce hair loss. Dr. Catherine A. Orentreich says, "Extreme protein diets and acute weight loss can trigger hair loss, so we test for iron and vitamin D deficiency."
Vitamins created specifically for hair are as common as calcium supplements. Just check out any drugstore, mass retailer or look online under hair vitamins. Some are complexes of B vitamins, botanical and marine extracts, fish oil and minerals especially zinc and selenium. Biotin does seem to keep cropping up with the doctors — well, it can't hurt — although if your diet includes salmon, egg yolks, red meat, carrots, sardines and bananas, you're not likely to be biotin-deficient in the first place. You can find fancy French brands like Phyto Phytophanere with biotin, marine gelatin and fish oil ($42.90, click here to buy), or the Finnish Viviscal with vitamin C, silica and marine proteins ($40.32, click here to buy).
I have to confess here that even I, the beauty editor skeptic, have been taking Viviscal daily for three years. I swear it works. It's one of those cult beauty editor products that caught on. My hair was thinning, breaking and now (knock wood) it's thick as Barbie hair. So who knows? It's worth a shot. Others I keep hearing good things about are Provillus Hair Support For Women Capsules with horsetail silica, biotin and B-6 ($24.99, click here to buy) and Sephren Hair Loss Dietary Supplement with biotin, B6, amino acids, magnesium and horsetail silica from the makers of Procerin for Men ($34.95, click here to buy).

Pulaski Heights
Pulaski Heights is a section of the city of Little Rock, Arkansas, located in the north-central portion of the city. The area comprises two distinct neighborhoods representing a historic suburb dating from the 1890s, and was among the first areas annexed into Little Rock.
Incorporated in 1903 and annexed to Little Rock in 1916, Pulaski Heights today remains among the more independent-minded areas of the city, with a strong sense of community in both its upper portion (The Heights) and lower portion (Hillcrest). Throughout Pulaski Heights, a major east-west thoroughfare is Kavanaugh Boulevard(including portions formerly named as Prospect Avenue), named for W. M. Kavanaugh, founder of the Little Rock Baseball Association. The street passes by a number of shops and boutiques unique to Little Rock, as well as historic buildings and locations such as the former Pulaski Heights Town Hall, Mount St. Mary Academy, and the original headquarters site of Allied Telephone Company (the earliest incarnation of Alltel and particularly its spinoff, Windstream Communications).
The Heights[edit]
The Heights is the upper, northern section of Pulaski Heights, and long considered as one of the more affluent neighborhoods in Little Rock as it is home to many rich, old money families. Many large, majestic homes line the streets of The Heights. The neighborhood has been home to the exclusive Country Club of Little Rock since the club's founding in 1902, and offers a number of fashionable shopping and dining selections. Administrative offices for the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra and Roman Catholic Diocese of Little Rock are located at St. John's Center on North Tyler Street. A variety of architectural styles can be found in The Heights representing the decades from its earliest settlement to the present day. The Heights borders the enclave community of Cammack Village.
The Hillcrest Historic District is the lower, southern section of Pulaski Heights that includes the former town hall building, and one of the oldest educational institutions in Arkansas—Mount St. Mary Academy—a girls' Catholic school. While The Heights is home to some of the largest, most expensive homes in Little Rock, Hillcrest has a much different style. Hillcrest has many small, craftsmen style bungalows with a few large homes scattered throughout. Little Rock's first streetcar system once extended into Hillcrest, with its entry into the neighborhood near the current intersection of Markham Street and Kavanaugh Boulevard in the Stifft's Station neighborhood of Little Rock. The streetcars, in time, aided in the growth and linking of Pulaski Heights to Little Rock. As in The Heights, Hillcrest contains some of Little Rock's most historic construction in both commercial and residential areas. Additionally, part of Hillcrest overlooks Allsopp Park, a major city park situated between Hillcrest on the south side and the corporate/design-oriented Riverdale neighborhood to its north.

Last year, the Cambodian Ministry of Education released a report indicating that over 55 percent of the country's 6,555 primary schools had libraries. Normally, this would be great news, but as it turned out, things weren't exactly as they seemed. With no official standards to use as a guide, many of the schools reported having a library even if they had just a few books or none at all.
"Some called it a library with only a few books, others with only one chair and a single shelf for schools with many classrooms," says Kall Kann, Room to Read's Country Director in Cambodia. "In grades one through three," he continues, "they rely on two textbooks to study, and they have no additional reading material."
Seeing a need to change this in their country, Room to Read Cambodia teamed up with local partner NGOs SIPAR and SVA, initiating a year-long effort to enact nationwide standards for school libraries including a set ratio of books to children, a description of the library environment, and minimum qualifications and pay for the librarians who run them.
"Without a minimum standard, schools couldn't request money from the central government to allow them to buy books," explains Kall, "they do not know how many books should be in the library, they don't have librarians, and they don't have an understanding of what qualifications are required for a librarian."
Hammering out the details of the new library standards and getting the necessary approvals took just under a year, and included discussions with both national and provincial education representatives. It all paid off! On May 3, 2011, the Ministry of Education finally adopted the new standards as the official benchmark for all primary schools nationwide.
"I see that when children read a lot, you increase their knowledge, increase their understanding and their attitude becomes more mature—they are much more understanding of the situation around them and trends across the globe," said the Minister of Education, who hopes that the new standards will help his department to better mobilize its resources.
Kall also has high hopes for the new policy, and its potential effect on the Cambodian education system as a whole. "We need to make sure our children learn to explore, learn to do research, learn to summarize," he says, things which "can be achieved by reading a lot."

We just stayed in the hotel for one night and we couldn't fault it.
The hotel is conveniently situated on a quiet street within walking distance of the closest Metro station (Schuman) and only a few stops from the main centre. Around the hotel there are a few restaurants and bars if you want to stay local. The room itself was an excellent size and standard with good quality furniture and a very comfortable bed. We had a city room on the second floor. We would definitely recommend the hotel and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

Nice Hotel - Road Numbering Had Me Flummoxed Temporarily - Busy Area - Staff A Little Curt
A brief stay in Brussels saw me book Newhotel as a conveniently located stop-over.
I took a really lovely stroll through the city, as I arrived quite early, and found the contrast between the centre and the European District, where the hotel is, really quite surprising - there's a lotta traffic up there ... but you know, it *is* a city.
Initially I couldn't find road numbers 25-27 either. I've got A-levels, I'm not usually one to be puzzled by numerics and geography but, just to let you know, the odd numbers on Boulevard Charlemagne start further up the road than the evens. Took me a few circuits of the European Commission to work that out :)
The facilities were great, hotel clean and excellent value for money. I even got 'upgraded' but maybe they say that to all the girls ;) ... The lady who checked me in was pleasant, as was the night porter but I have to admit the chap who checked me out was a little bit rude. I'm prepared to put it down to cultural/language differences and gratefully he spoke English as my Flemish and French are not what they used to be ... but still. He could have been a little more welcoming I felt. Other than that, amazing value for money and a good find.

BLOOMSBURG - When Northeast Bradford took the field against Greenwood in the PIAA Class A quarterfinals Thursday at Bloomsburg University, the Panthers were perfect.
The Northern Tier team rolled through District 4 competition and sported a 22-0 record. Greenwood certainly had a tough mountain to climb.
But ever so slightly, the Wildcats put one foot in front of the other. Inning by inning, the District 3 champions kept saying, "Nine more outs, six more outs, three more outs."

Greenwood first baseman Kendra Seaman, right, gloves a ball for the final out in the Wildcats' PIAA Class A softball quarterfinal win Thursday at Bloomsburg University. She is backed up by teammate Chelsea Hicks (6); pitcher Jess Heichel looks on.
And then it happened - a soft liner was laced toward Greenwood first baseman Kendra Seaman. She put it away for the final out of the game and a 3-1 win for the Wildcats.
Greenwood scored all three of its runs in the third inning. Northeast Bradford's lone run was also in the third. The Wildcats (17-5) are headed to the PIAA Class A final four for the first time in school history.
"It means everything," Greenwood senior Salene Shaffer said. "We've never been this far and to do this for coach Gantt and everyone it's great. This is the best senior year I could ever have."
With the win, the Wildcats will face District 4 runner-up Southern Columbia in the eastern finals. The Tigers took down District 1 champ Bristol, 6-1, to advance. The game will be Monday at 2 p.m.; the Wildcats return here to Bloomsburg for the game.
Greenwood once again got an outstanding pitching performance from Jess Heichel. Coming off a complete-game win over Northwest, Heichel was up to her old tricks again in the circle. In seven innings of work, the junior allowed one run on six hits.
"You almost come to expect it from her," Greenwood coach Troy Gantt said. "She has been tough all season and she did it again today."
However, things didn't start out the way Heichel and Gantt hoped for.
In the first, back-to-back singles from the Panthers had the Wildcats in an early jam. But Heichel remained calm to get the next three batters in order. Shaffer made two nice plays at third to preserve a scoreless first.
Eventually, Northeast Bradford broke through to take the lead. In the third, a single from the Panthers' No. 3 hitter Haylie Phillips started the rally. Cleanup batter Kelsey Carlsen then smoked a laser to left that chased Phillips around for the game's first run and a Panther lead.
Northeast Bradford pitcher Chelsea Souto struck out the side in the first two innings. But Gantt kept reminding his players to just put the ball in play and be patient. That's exactly what happened in the latter half of the third.
Seaman led off the frame with a walk. Shaffer made that walk hurt. The senior squared to bunt and laid down a beauty.
The ball was fielded by the Panther third baseman, who sent the throw sailing into right field foul territory. Seaman came all the way around to score from first.
"When I heard coach Gantt saying, 'Go, go,' I got really excited," Shaffer explained. "When she crossed the plate it was awesome."
But the Wildcats weren't done yet.
"The confidence started to flow a little bit," Gantt said of the big inning. "After the first inning I think the girls started to doubt themselves a little bit. Things just started to happen."
Shaffer made it all the way to third on the error by Northeast Bradford. Brittany Fleisher then bunted and reached safely with Shaffer holding at third. With no outs, A.J. Seigel, who had four RBIs in Greenwood's first-round game, grounded out to second to bring Shaffer in and give the Wildcats the lead for good.
And the Wildcats still weren't done yet.
Amy Heggenstaller, who finished the game 2-for-2, drove a fly ball to center to bring in Fleisher to move the lead to 3-1.
From there it was all Heichel and the Greenwood defense.
"It's good to get here and the girls are thrilled," Gantt said. "That was genuinely the best game we've played all season."
Heichel allowed only two hits the rest of the way. From that point on, Northeast Bradford didn't move a runner past second base. She finished the game with only four strikeouts. But Seigel, who made more than a few nifty plays in center, and the Greenwood defense didn't budge. Except for an error with two outs in the final frame, the Wildcats were flawless to end the game.
"The defense was just phenomenal," Gantt said.
Up next is a date with Southern Columbia. The Tigers fell to Northeast Bradford, 2-1, in the District 4 championship game on May 31. But with four teams left in Class A, there's only one thing a team can do if they look to win. Shaffer said it best.
"Hopefully we play 100 percent," she said. "If that's not enough then that's Ok. We just don't want to make mistakes. We have to play 100 percent and make the plays."

His lush, pillowy orchestrations once cushioned the singing of Frank Sinatra, Nat "King" Cole, Judy Garland and Peggy Lee. But that was a generation ago, before the advent of rock and a bout with bad health had slowed the tempo of Nelson Riddle's life. Thus it was something of a surprise, says Riddle, now 62, when he was called last year and asked to arrange one song on an album by rock diva Linda Ronstadt, 37. "I didn't know very much about Linda's work," he admits, but "in the back of my mind I started to scheme a bit. I don't like to do single arrangements. I like to do albums."
Riddle's plot-to win a bigger role in the project-succeeded. The result is What's New, an album of nine old-time torchy ballads sung by Ronstadt and backed entirely by Riddle's rich arrangements. The collection of standards, mostly from the '20s, '30s and '40s, has stunned a skeptical record industry by selling a half-million copies within a month of its release and jumping to No. 10 on the Billboard charts. This fall the unlikely partners packed off with the 47-piece Nelson Riddle Orchestra on a two-week tour, and there may be a repeat performance early next year.
According to Ronstadt, the collaboration is due as much to her scheming as Riddle's. Admittedly obsessed with the idea of recording such old standards as Lover Man and Someone to Watch Over Me, she first tried it in 1981 at a four-day recording session in New York but considered the result a failure. "It just wasn't right," she says of those initial arrangements, "but I couldn't get rid of the tunes. They're the most wonderful songs." Ronstadt had heard Riddle's sophisticated orchestrations on Frank Sinatra's classic Only the Lonely album back in 1963, when she was a 17-year-old schoolgirl in Tucson, and later her songwriter pal J.D. Souther reintroduced her to some old Riddle recordings. "I fell in love with the arrangements," she says. "I didn't think there was any other guy who could do the job. Only I didn't know if he wanted to do it."
At a meeting in a West Los Angeles recording studio arranged by Ronstadt's manager, Peter Asher, Riddle agreed to accept the project only if it included the whole album and not just one tune. It was more than Ronstadt had hoped for. "As soon as he said that, I handed him the songs, and we ran into the other room to the piano," recalls Linda. "We got along great." Says Riddle: "She's got a strong, beautiful voice and really unbelievable power. God, when she belts out What's New, you really believe it." Although the final album would include three songs from Sinatra's Only the Lonely record, Riddle insists his arrangements for Ronstadt were strictly custom-made. "I just did it as I felt it now. The same principles guided me that have always guided me, that is, to give the singer room to breathe. When the singer rests, then there's the chance to write a fill that might be heard."
To be sure, Riddle's fills have been heard plenty since 1940 when the then teenage trombonist first joined a band passing near his home in southern New Jersey. As an arranger and conductor he has collected nine Grammy nominations (winning once in 1958) and is a five-time Academy Award nominee who received an Oscar in 1975 for his Great Gatsby score.
Three years ago Riddle's musical life screeched to a halt when he suddenly fell ill. The diagnosis: cirrhosis of the liver. "I liked a glass of vodka, but I never drank so that I was inebriated," he says. "I had a weak liver, and I suppose I was one of those guys who should never have had anything to drink." After several hospitalizations and a three-year fight to regain his health, Riddle is now recovered and a dedicated teetotaler. The experience, he says, has changed his life. "It taught me that just to swing your feet over the side of the bed in the morning is its own reward. Nobody knows how long you're going to be around, so you might as well enjoy it."
For that reason Riddle spends more time nowadays in the modern, hilltop Bel Air home he shares with wife Naomi, 62. His six children by his former wife, Doreen, are all grown. Afternoons he works in a nearby office, often at the baby grand that he has used for 30 years. "There is a little laziness that sets in after a while, but it's pure pleasure," he says happily. Perhaps, but new projects continue to pile up—background music for The Bob New-hart Show, a TV tribute to Sinatra, and a book on arranging to be published early next year. And, if Ronstadt has her way, there may be yet another album. Says Linda: "I'm dying to do another one with him. I've already started to pick out the songs."

This volume is of especial interest to the student of zoology, anatomy and physiology. The author is a Swiss physician who in thirteen years of assiduous labor has found the time and energy for this extensive work. On the whole, the book represents an attempt to combine the views, theories and results of specialized research in the fields of zoology, embryology, physiology, hematology, pathology and clinical medicine. The author justly points out that intensive specialization has led too often to incomplete solutions of general biologic problems. The volume is essentially theoretical and contains no experimentally gained contributions by the author.
The vast literature pertaining to this field is critically reviewed. Throughout the book it is evident, however, that American literature has hardly been consulted by the author, a tendency that is all too common with European writers.
To the clinician the book will be of interest particularly in its chapters

Christian musician Carman Domenic Licciardello, known to fans simply as Carman, has posted an update on Facebook about his fight with cancer, saying for the first time he is really concerned.
The internationally known artist and evangelist wrote, "I wish I had better news but for the first time through this whole journey, I'm worried - really worried."
***Tell us how Carman's music has impacted your life on CBN News' Facebook page.
He explained that he's gotten an infection, which is very dangerous for his condition.
"I mentioned before that if you get an infection during the neutropenic stage, with my immune system completely gone that it could be fatal. Well, I don't know how or where but I got an infection. They will be admitting me into the hospital for 24/7 care," he wrote to fans.
He added, "I don't mean to be fatalistic but if for some reason I don't make it out of here, I want you all to know what great friends you've been to me and how much I've loved every minute of being on the stage ministering."
"This whole situation is making me cry. Thinking about never seeing you again. I hope things change but I can't even lift my head up, and they wheelchair me everywhere. Oh well, at least I got the record finished," he concluded.
Within a day, more than 25,000 fans commented on his latest post with encouraging words for the artist.
One woman wrote, "Don't give up!...When you lose strength call upon the Lord."
Another man wrote, "Carman! Be not dismayed." He went on to share his own battle with the often deadly disease and how he is now healed.
***You can read Carmen's complete statement and the other posts on his Facebook page here.
Carman was diagnosed with myeloma cancer in Februrary last year. It's considered incurable and at the time he was given three to four years to live.
Carman's website describes him as an "enigma" in Christian music with his concerts being a cross between a Vegas show and a rock-and-roll Billy Graham Crusade.
He has 15 gold and platinum albums and videos to his name and has sold more than 10 million records. At his various events through the years, thousands have come to Christ.
During one special Halloween event in 1999 his website reports he had "the largest alter call ever" with 70,000 people committing their lives to Christ that night.
He just finished a new album that is supposed to be released in February or March.
