Reviews for Inheritance of Hope Inc
Inheritance of Hope's mission is to inspire hope in young families facing the loss of a parent. Without question, they fulfill their mission! Statistics show that 1 in 20 children, 15 and younger, will suffer the loss of a parent. There is an incredible need and Inheritance of Hope uniquely serves these children and their families.
The organization's largest offering is its Legacy Retreat, an all-expenses-paid experience where families create lifelong memories and receive tools to navigate the challenges of a parent's terminal illness. Inheritance of Hope also offers Legacy Scholarships, provides literature, and creates a community of support that is, in my mind, unparalleled. Families that attend a Legacy Retreat are forever changed. They believe that "Every Family Deserves a Legacy." I absolutely agree and it's why I support this outstanding organization.

When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
When my wife and I began searching for an organization to sponsor we took it very seriously. We meticulously poured over hundreds of reviews and websites in order to find something that really spoke to us. Almost every nonprofit seemed deserving and we had no idea how to make the right decision. We knew we wanted to stay within the United States and we also knew we wanted children to be involved. Needless to say this is an enormous category and did not dilute the pool of choices by much. Then we found Inheritance of Hope and our search was over.
Inheritance of Hope (IOH) is a phenomenal organization that helps children and families that have a parent diagnosed with a life-threatening disease. After a short time of correspondence with the Executive Director, Deric Milligan, and the Team Coordinator, Lisa Duscio, we were immediately invited to witness the work IOH was doing in the lives of the families they serve. We attended a New York City Legacy Retreat involving families from all over the country that were blessed to share the experience this organization provides. It is hard to put words to the emotions we felt in being a part of this trip, but Hope is the one that continues to cross my mind. The volunteers and staff provide such a warm environment for the families to connect with one another at a time in their lives when I'm sure it is hard to believe anyone can relate to what they might be going through. They are given the ability and means to share a joyous time with their children and at the same time be provided with unlimited counseling and resources. In short, they are given an opportunity to find hope in a time that might seem hopeless.
We are so blessed to have been a part of such an amazing community of people. From the time we arrived at the retreat we were able to see how IOH is changing lives. Donors can be as involved as they would like to be, something that was also incredibly important to us. Not only was the Legacy Retreat run efficiently but the entire organization is efficient, with over 90% of all monies donated going directly to helping the families.
Inheritance of Hope is a powerhouse organization that does exactly what they say they will do.

Local Iranians Counsel Congress
As Iran's fundamentalist regime has increased its persecution of Jews and become a major sponsor of terrorism in the Middle East, local Iranian Jewish leaders have stepped up efforts to inform U.S. officials of the increasing danger posed by the Islamic nation.
"We're at the forefront of keeping the people in the U.S. government aware of what Iran is doing and trying to highlight alternative types of government to the current regime there," said Pooya Dayanim, president of the Iranian Jewish Public Affairs Committee, a nonprofit organization working on behalf of Iranian Jews outside Iran.
Both Dayanim and Frank Nikbakht, public affairs director of the Council of Iranian American Jewish Organizations (CIAJO), have been the primary forces in educating lawmakers on Capitol Hill about Iran, facilitating meetings between several pro-democracy Iranian opposition groups and U.S. officials.
"In April 2003, I helped coordinate informal meetings between Reza Pahlavi and members of the House Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nuclear Nonproliferation and Human Rights," Dayanim said.
Aside from informally advising the Constitutionalist Party of Iran (supporters of a constitutional monarchy), Dayanim said he has also educated other pro-democracy Iranian opposition groups, such as the Marse Porgohar Party (supporters of a secular government), on how seek assistance from key U.S. policymakers.
Last May, Dayanim said he collaborated with Rep. Brad Sherman's (D-Sherman Oaks) staff in drafting the Iran Democracy Support Act of 2003, a bill calling for an international referendum on regime change in Iran.
"The bill passed in the House. It was supposed to provide $50 million to dissident political parties, people supporting regime change in Iran and opposition media," Dayanim said. "At the last minute, the Rules Committee stripped this funding at the request of the White House, which really took the muscle out of the legislation."
Despite U.S. lawmakers' and officials' support for regime change in Iran last year, the current mood for action against the Iranian government has dramatically changed as the U.S. war in Iraq has continued, Dayanim said.
"Iraq didn't turn out the way the administration wanted it to. They wasted their political capital there, and by this fall everything fell apart," Dayanim said. "Iran is the real hub of terror and is keeping the U.S. tied up in Iraq by supporting [Moqtada] al-Sadr, so the U.S. wouldn't go after Iran next."
Dayanim also said key U.S. government departments are split on whether to endorse a policy of regime change in Iran or to engage Tehran in dialogue and ease U.S. sanctions. As a result of this division and the war in Iraq, President Bush has yet to take a stronger stance again Iran, Dayanim said.
"The president has always been steady in voicing his support for the freedom of the people of Iran, and actuality it has been a moral support, but we need more action, because Iran could become a nuclear power very soon and destabilize the region," Dayanim said.
Even though Iran's terrorist activities have taken a back seat as the conflict in Iraq continues, Congress has not totally ignored the country. Recently the House passed a unanimous resolution calling for U.S. action to stop Iran's nuclear proliferation efforts, Dayanim said. Likewise, a Senate bill has been drafted, calling for regime change in Iran, Dayanim pointed out.
"Two weeks ago, Sen. [Rick] Santorum and Sen. [John] Cornyn introduced a new bill which is more explicit in its terms and will make it the policy of the U.S. government to have regime change in Iran," Dayanim said. "At this time, I'm trying to get other senators to support this legislation."
Iranian government officials are monitoring the U.S. elections closely this year, because they believe that a Kerry administration would be more willing to negotiate with Iran without making any demands on its nuclear and terrorist-sponsoring activities, Dayanim said.
Both Dayanim and Nikbakht broke the historical taboo in the Iranian Jewish community of voicing opposition to mistreatment of Jews in Iran, when in 1999, they, along with numerous other Jewish organization, launched a campaign to publicize the plight of 13 Jews from Shiraz facing execution on false charges of spying for Israel and the United States.
"Generally the Iranian Jewish leaders have had a ghetto mentality by trying to keep everyone silent, because they're afraid it will make the situation worse," Nikbakht said. "In 1999, we broke that silence with our campaign for the Shiraz 13, and that vocal pressure saved those Jews' lives."
Nikbakht, who is also director of the Committee for Religious Minority Rights in Iran -- an informal local group consisting of Iranian Jews, Zoroastrians, Christians and Baha'is -- said that after the international community condemned Iran's treatment of the Shiraz Jews in 1999, the Iranian government halted its campaign of systematically executing Jews.
"For the five years before the Shiraz 13 incident, the Iranian government was executing one Jew per year to keep the Jews in line," Nikbakht said. "But now all this exposure has caused changes in Iran, and Jewish leaders there have been able to openly write letters to Iranian officials to voice their disagreement with anti-Semitic legislation and Nazi-like propaganda from the regime, which they couldn't do before."
Nikbakht said that for the past five years, the U.S. State Department has been incorporating his detailed reports about widespread discrimination against religious minorities in Iran into its annual report on Iran.
"We're demanding equal rights for all Iranians, regardless of their religion," Nikbakht said. "We're basically asking people in the U.S. government to put any pressure they can on Iran, including intensifying sanctions until they improve human rights in Iran for these minority groups."
Dayanim said his recent request for funding on a project to extensively document the large-scale persecution of religious minorities in Iran was rejected by the State Department, despite federal funds available for such research.
"We can only do this through federal funding, and its obvious that the issue of religious freedom for minorities was not important to them," Dayanim said.
George Harounian, CIAJO president, said the situation for Jews in Iran has deteriorated over the last 10 years. Between 1994 and 1997, 12 Iranian Jews were imprisoned and their fates are currently unknown, Harounian noted. He said they had attempted to flee the country by crossing the border into Pakistan.
Many Iranian Jewish leaders who are in contact with U.S. policymakers said they were optimistic about the U.S. government's future actions with regards to Iran. They said they will continue to keep the light on Iran's activities, as long as it continues to threaten the world with terrorism and potential nuclear war.
"I think the [Bush] administration wants to help, but the election has to pass and things in Iraq have to settle," Dayanim said. "I'm also meeting with foreign policy advisers to Kerry to argue that support [for] true democracy in Iran should be their policy as well."

Three kids and an adorable alien: It's not easy for an actress to be noticed around such scene-stealers. Yet Dee Wallace, 33, was thrilled to play the suburban mother in Steven Spielberg's blockbuster movie E.T "I've played every kind of mother—plain mothers, pretty mothers, understanding mothers, even mothers who are hookers," she says with a laugh. But the E.T. role was something to phone home about. "Mary was a rounded character, a real hip mother who's got a terrific relationship with her kids." Appearing next month as, natch, a working mother married to a house husband in the NBC movie Wait Till Your Mother Gets Home, and currently filming the starring role as a terrorized mother in Stephen King's Cujo, Wallace clearly has established herself as one of Hollywood's leading maternal images.
Though Wallace was unemployed when the director called to offer the E.T. role, she was dismayed when "secretive" Spielberg refused to show her the script. When he relented and let her read it behind locked doors, she was hooked. "The character was struggling, emotional, strong, with a sense of humor. And she was pretty, not beautiful." The latter hit a nerve with Dee. "When I came out to L.A. seven years ago, I weighed 30 pounds more than I do now [114] and I had short, dark hair," she reveals. At auditions, she heard one recurring complaint: "You're not pretty enough."
Dee quickly lost weight, dyed her hair blond and started again. Her first big movie role, as Dudley Moore's resort bar pickup in "10", was no help, not with Bo Derek around to measure herself against. She wrote her mother, complaining, "I feel so ugly and no one thinks I'm pretty." Even now, she says, "I was absolutely devastated." Although Wallace won many TV guest roles, she frequently lost parts to more explosive blond bombshells, such as Morgan Fairchild and Donna Mills. "Three times this year I haven't been pretty enough to do parts for the networks," she complains.
Her faltering self-confidence got a major boost in 1979. Appearing in an episode of NBC's CHiPs, Dee made a big impression on another guest star, Christopher Stone. Although she remained a bit aloof—"I'm usually not attracted to very good-looking men"—Dee's resistance weakened when she received two dozen roses from the divorced actor the next day. "It was like high school," says Stone, 40. After a first date at Le Petit Chateau, Dee arrived the following weekend at a Malibu beach house that Stone had rented. When she walked in, she found the lights off, the fireplace flickering and Stone wearing a floor-length caftan. "I thought, 'Dee, you got yourself into more than you can handle.' " They were married a year later.
The couple live in the L.A. suburb of Woodland Hills in a three-bedroom ranch-style house they bought six months after their wedding. It's the Sun Belt version of the middle-class Kansas City neighborhood where Dee grew up as the second of three children. Her father, who died in 1966, was a coffee salesman; her mother is now executive secretary of the fund-raising Cancer Action, Inc. in Kansas City. After majoring in theater and education at the University of Kansas, teaching high school English in Kansas for a year, marrying and then divorcing a teacher, Dee arrived in New York in 1973. She landed her first TV commercial job (United Airlines) when she had just $4.10 in her bank account. Two years and about 150 commercials later she went out to L.A. and used homemade chocolate chip cookies to bribe casting agents into auditioning her.
Such maneuvers are now unnecessary. Determined to work together as often as possible, Wallace and Stone co-starred in both last year's werewolf flick, The Howling, and the upcoming Cujo. That solves the separation problem plaguing most two-career acting couples. But will Dee ever have children of her own? Wallace worries. "Can I have children and allow myself to enjoy them and still have a career? I want to make sure I've dealt with all my guilt before I make the commitment. I keep fighting the thing I was raised with," she confides, "to grow up, get married and have babies. I don't have the patience, time or inclination to do it the way my mother did. I'm in a real quandary."
After Her E.T. Success, Dee Wallace Is Hollywood's Favorite Mom—Even Without a Child of Her Own

I've been in love with paper for as long as I can remember. I remember walking to a local stationery shop after school and using my lunch money to buy cool pens and planners. Yea, I was that kid. Who am I kidding? I am now that woman. It's no wonder I started a paper company back in 2008. Albert (my husband) and I started Chic Tags in 2008, after I realized cute affordable paper was hard to come by!
I'm always making lists and leaving notes scattered everywhere and so this year I finally decided to get a planner to organize said lists. This began a crazy planning obsession! So, it only seemed natural to start making my own stickers and accessories. That's how Planner Addict was born. I hope you enjoy our love and passion for great design!

Single user Login authentication
Hi all, (Sorry for my goofy english)
I am developing a web application, configured with struts2, ibatis and mysql. Its a content management app, the user want to subscribe for the full view of the content and description.
If a user has logged in a system, then the same user should not be allowed to login in another system, if the session expires then the other one can log in. (I never want to save this feature in database)
How to do this? is there any need of using "OpenID for Java Web applications" ?
your help is highly appreciated

text: Home > Medical > Tests and procedures Updated 21 September 2015 Slit lamp examination Another name for this instrument is "Bio-Microscope", which is a more self-explanatory term. 0 Another name for this instrument is "Bio-Microscope", which is a more self-explanatory term, and definitely sounds more modern and scientific. The instrument consists of a binocular-type eyepiece for the examiner to look through and a high-intensity light source, which illuminates the eye. One can vary the degree of magnification from seeing the entire eye and eyelids in the same field to honing in on one small structure and magnifying it by up to 40 times. The main advantage of this microscope is that the beam of light can be made into a slit, which has the advantage of adding depth of field to the observers view. To illustrate this point, imagine standing directly in the path of a beam of sunlight. You may see particles floating in the beam, but to judge their distance away from you, or the distance separating the particles, cannot be done with any accuracy. But if you stand to one side of the beam, the particles can be seen more easily, and you will also more easily be able see how far they are separated from each other. The slit lamp therefore allows the observer to position his eyes to one side and move the light beam around to obtain a "side" view. To use a more practical example: imagine an eye with a brown-coloured foreign body on the cornea. It may be easy to see the foreign body reflected in the light, but not so easy to assess just how deep the object is situated. By using the slit lamp with the beam angled to one side, you will be able to see with great accuracy whether the foreign body is superficial or whether it has penetrated to a deeper section of the cornea. Use and preparation You will sit on a chair with your chin and forehead resting against the instrument-support, which is attached to the slit lamp. No preparation is needed. Very young children may feel a bit apprehensive and need a bit of time to get used to the instrument. With a bit of coaxing and parental help, things should however go smoothly. Small infants may be examined by letting them stand on their mothers lap while she is seated on a chair Other usesWhile the slit lamp is mostly used to study the front sections of the eye, i.e. the eyelids, the coats of the eye (conjunctiva, and sclera), the cornea, iris, pupil and lens, its range can be extended to include the deeper structures of the eye (including the retina). This is achieved by means of additional lenses, which are either held by the examiner or placed in direct contact with the eye. Injuries, various types of inflammation, infections, ulcers, growths and tumours may be evaluated on the surface of the eye and the positioning of contact lenses can be assessed with greater accuracy. If we look deeper into the lens of the eye we may see inflammatory cells in the chambers of the eye, e.g. iritis or cataract formation. We may even see the Fundus of the eye. By adding a dab or drop of Fluorescein dye and using a blue filter, one may find smaller defects that are not immediately apparent. Thse defects, unlike the normal tissues, will be stained bright blue. Adding a drop of anaesthetic, one can also measure the eye pressure by means of the "tonometer", which is attached to a small side-arm of the slit lamp. In order for the pressure to be measured, the tonometer must make contact with the cornea. You may be aware of a light touch; it will however not be painful. Limitations In the presence of a very hazy cornea or a very dense cataract, a view of the deeper structures may be obscured, even when using a very bright light. In such cases other examination procedures like ultrasound may be necessary. RisksSlit lamp examination does not involve any risk. There may be some slight discomfort due to the bright light used, but this doesn't last very long. The small risk in using anaesthetic or dilating drops has already been covered.

Album Review
Twisted Sister's second album of live performances and demos from their pre-fame days shows a band torn between two sounds. On one hand, the band can play sloppy, Dictators-inspired hard rock that has aged, but still retains an undeniable quality about it. On the other hand, they can sound like a generic '70s metal band, which is a sound that is not only dated, but rather boring when not in the hands of a better-known act. Of course, both sounds would eventually combine into their glammy style of heavy metal, but they still had not figured that out quite yet. So songs like "You Know I Cry" are rather pedestrian, sounding more like a watered-down Iron Maiden then Twisted Sister. But then there are songs like "Lady's Boy," a swaggering rocker with a winding bassline and clever lyrics. Fans of the band will want this for the obvious reasons, but the casual listener will probably not find anything here worth the purchase of the album; there are better albums by the band.

This article reviews the challenge of diagnosing depression in patients with cancer. Major depression and depressive symptoms, although commonly encountered in medical populations, are frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated. This is especially true for patients with cancer in whom the diagnosis of major depression is clouded by neurovegetative symptoms that may be secondary to either cancer or depression. Well-established biological markers for major depression are proposed as diagnostic adjuncts in patients with cancer. Studies using biological markers in depressed patients with and without cancer are reviewed, and the implications of diminished immune function in depressed patients with cancer are discussed. The limited database on treatment of depression in patients with cancer also is reviewed. Treatment of depression in these patients improves their dysphoria and other signs and symptoms of depression, improves quality of life, and may improve immune function and survival time. Guidelines for future research are proposed.

Almost Alive Shrimp are our most popular baits by far. These soft plastic baits are the most realistic shrimp baits many people have ever seen. Our attention to detail with this bait has resulted in countless catches of redfish, trout, flounder, tripletail, triggerfish, bluefish, Spanish mackerel, black drum and snook. These shrimp lures are available in several different sizes and several different color patterns. We also give you the option of using rigged baits and unrigged baits. The custom hook set in our rigged shrimp is super sharp and a small weight in the head of the bait will make the shrimp very easy to cast. The retrieval of the rigged shrimp will be a slow subtle retrieve which will get the attention of a lot of game fish. If you would rather use the unrigged shrimp then your options open up. The unrigged shrimp allows you to use your favorite hook or jig head. An effective way to fish these shrimp is to bite a portion of the tail section off and rig the shrimp with a jig head and fish the shrimp backwards. This allows you to use the natural action of the jigging motion to imitate the natural evading motion of a live shrimp which is a backwards pumping motion. This backward quicker retrieval will get a reactionary strike from game fish because they don't want their food to get away from them. Any way you fish these shrimp, they are deadly on a number of game fish and if you give them a try, you will be amazed at how effective they are.

A "ride-sharing" operation that offered on-demand trips in private cars was shut down Saturday by the Philadelphia Parking Authority for running an illegal taxi service.
But the founder of SideCar, a San Francisco-based venture that got $10 million last year from Google and other investors, said Tuesday the service will be back in business in Philadelphia on Friday.
Three local men driving for SideCar were given $1,000 citations (one twice) and had their cars impounded, Jim Nye, director of PPA's taxi and limousine division, said Tuesday.
The three were identified as Sunil Kumar Patel, of Wallingford; James Anthony Fields, of Drexel Hill, and Gary Lewis Dempsey of Philadelphia.

This Tight-Lipped Banker Opened Up
By Shira Ovide and Katherine Rosman
Usually, it's not news when an investment banker brags.
But when that banker works at the tight-lipped Allen & Co., and boasts about her savvy in a room full of tweeters, well that gets us all atwitter.
Here is what literary agent Kate Lee posted on Twitter from the Women Entrepreneurs Festival, sponsored by New York University:
Nancy Peretsman, Allen & Co.: "I'm the person who told Groupon not to sell to Google."
Another person in the room confirmed Peretsman's remarks.
Groupon has never disclosed how it made the decision to turn down an acquisition offer from Google — the "no deal" that made Groupon a hot topic in Silicon Valley and on Wall Street.
Of course, there was never any doubt about Peretsman's pervasive influence in the worlds of media, entertainment and technology. She worked behind the scenes of Google's 2004 IPO. She is AOL's banker. She was a key adviser for News Corp. in its purchase of Dow Jones (the publisher of The Wall Street Journal). And so we won't doubt her sway over young Groupon, the company that Allen & Co. helped shepherd to its initial public offering last year.
What makes Peretsman's comment unusual is that Allen & Co. is famously publicity-shy. Yes, they do get their share of attention anyway, mostly thanks to the star-studded annual hobnob session Allen & Co. hosts in Sun Valley, Idaho. But if Perestman worked for Goldman Sachs instead of Allen & Co., she's be famous. Or at least what passes for famous in Wall Street circles.
Try searching for her in Google. Nancy Peretsman comes up with about 11,000 results. Try the same for J.P. Morgan's James B. Lee, the slick-haired Hollywood ideal of an investment banker, and you get 200 million results.
Peretsman made her surprisingly frank comment today on a panel discussing funding for startup companies. And of course one of the tough questions facing all young companies is when to sell. Groupon faced that conundrum in late 2010 when Google extended an offer to buy Groupon in a deal that could have been worth as much as $6 billion.
After much discussion and some division within Groupon over whether to take the offer, Groupon said no thanks to a giant payday, and opted to take the company public instead. Whether it was because of Peretsman's advice or not, turning down Google turned out to be the smart call. Today, Groupon has a market value of $12.4 billion.

State tournament shines light on thriving local billiards scene
For the next three days, about 2,500 top billiards players from throughout Pennsylvania will converge on the Bayfront Convention Center for the 32nd annual State Pool Tournament.
While not quite on the scale of some of the world's top pool events in places like Las Vegas, the tournament is a big deal, with 180 tables spread across a huge ballroom and statewide bragging rights at stake for players in individual and five-man team divisions, which are held simultaneously this weekend.
The other 362 days each year, pool players in Erie compete much farther from the spotlight in neighborhood bars like the Lager Cafe on the city's west side, or at pool halls like Gold Crown Billiards in midtown.
And the local billiards scene, while not typically in the headlines as it is this weekend, is healthy and thriving, say area players and tavern owners.
Tony Thomas, whose family has owned the Lager Cafe since Prohibition, holds leagues three nights a week on a single table in the bar.
"We've been holding leagues for about 30 years now, and it just continues to grow," said Thomas, 54, who will play in the singles division this weekend and also works as a billiards referee.
Some of this weekend's top contenders play on local tables year-round.
Erie resident John Barbale is the reigning champion in the Pa. Select Singles Division, home of the state's elite players. Barbale plays in local leagues but also travels to about a dozen team tournaments a year, including events in Columbus, Ohio, and Las Vegas.
Barbale, 51 and a union carpenter, picked up his first pool cue at age 5 and learned to play on a 2-foot-by-4-foot table that was a gift from his parents.
The sport quickly got him hooked, and he plays nearly every day.
"The reason I got so good is because I practice like no one else," Barbale said. "I have specific routines that I do -- like the way I set up for a shot, the way I chalk the cue, the number of times I stroke the cue before a shot. I've studied a lot about the mental end of it."
Barbale's favorite book, "The Inner Game of Tennis," doesn't deal specifically with pool. But there is enough crossover concerning how to psychologically prepare for competition that Barbale says he has read his dog-eared, highlighted copy at least 10 times.
"It talks a lot about staying in the present; don't get caught up in the hype," Barbale said. "Last year, when I won the state tournament, I felt just like I was playing in a corner bar."
Erie resident Ed Borgia, 62, is a top player who runs several local leagues and also has given billiards lessons for 17 years. He tutors students here in the Erie area and in neighboring counties, including Danny Ramirez, one of Erie's top up-and-coming players.
Borgia says interest in the sport is on the rise.
"Since I started in pool 32 years ago, the leagues have grown every single year," Borgia said. "Sometimes it's only 1 percent, 2 percent, 3 percent, but they've always grown."
Borgia also says the quality of the players has improved dramatically in a relatively short period of time. He points to the frequency of run-outs, instances in which a player in a match sinks every object ball before his opponent has a chance to shoot.
"Twenty years ago if someone had a run-out everybody heard about it, because it just didn't happen very often," Borgia said. "Today there are three or four run-outs at every (league) location every single week. The level of play has increased tenfold."
One of the top Borgia-trained players currently is 20-year-old McDowell graduate Dustin Koszarek, a former state junior champion who began playing at age 3 and has been taking lessons for nine years.
Koszarek plays in a Wednesday league and in tournaments nearly every weekend. He will compete as a junior in this weekend's tournament for the final time before moving into the adult division next year.
"I just got hooked on it when I was pretty young," Koszarek said. "Now, four of my friends and I play together on a team. We're all really good shooters and we just play every chance we get."
Leagues can be found most nights at various local bars, many of them smaller, neighborhood places like Odis 12 Bar & Grille and Willow's Tavern, both in midtown, New Harvest Restaurant and Pub in North East, Springside Lounge in West Springfield, and Red Fox Inn on Erie's upper east side.
Red Fox Inn owner Mike Palermo runs leagues on two tables three nights a week. Palermo says participation has always been steady, though it sometimes ebbs and flows with the economy.
Pool isn't necessarily an expensive sport for recreational players, but it can be for enthusiasts. Some handmade cues can cost several hundred dollars, and entry fees for top tournaments, like this weekend's state event, run about $40 for individuals and more than $100 for teams.
That hasn't hurt participation, either at the state tournament -- where organizers added additional tables for the third straight year to accommodate increased registrations -- or in local leagues.
"I think right now (billiards) is on kind of a comeback around here," Palermo said. "During the recession it wasn't as busy, but it's stronger since then. Lately it's crazy because everybody is amped up and practicing for the state tournament this weekend. It's the biggest thing in pool for a lot of these guys, so there's a ton of interest right now."

The focus of the conference is on income volatility and how it affects these tradeoffs for domestic food assistance programs, primarily the Food Stamp Program, National School Lunch Program, and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). Papers dealing with other income transfer programs are also of potential interest, as are papers dealing with multiple-program interactions or methodological issues related to income and volatility measurement.

More than 1 million people in New Jersey remain without power this morning, although those numbers are continuing to fall.
About 22 percent of Public Service Electric & Gas Co.'s 2.2 million customers are still in the dark. The state's largest utility has said it could take until later this week before service is restored in all the homes and businesses it serves. Jersey Central Power & Light has 485,000 customers without power, down from 531,000 late Saturday, representing 40 percent of its 1.2 million customers.
Atlantic City Electric has about 10,000 of its 550,000 customers still out, but a spokesman said nearly all should be back in service later today.
Rockland Electric, which has 70,900 customers in Bergen, Passaic and Sussex Counties, has nearly half of them without power.
In the immediate wake of Hurricane Sandy, more than 2.4 million were without power. As of 10 a.m. today, the total customers out for all four utilities service in New Jersey was 1.02 million.
Utilities officials say there are more people on the ground every day helping with the restoration effort, as more out-of-state crews arrive in New Jersey, but the damage was significant.
PSE&G said another 600 workers were expected today to be joining its more than 3,000 linemen and tree contractors already working in our area. The federal government is flying some workers and their equipment from California into McGuire Air Force Base, near Trenton.
The company said its biggest challenge is in Hoboken, where power substations were submerged in more than 3 feet of water. It took several days for that water to recede and much of the equipment was corroded by salt water and needs extensive work, the utility said.
JSP&L said it is getting about 100,000 customers back each day.
"We've seen progress, but there are just incredible, incredible amounts of damage," said JCP&L spokesman Ron Morano.
He noted the utility has already taken down 2,200 trees, replaced 713 downed or damaged poles, and replaced 220 transformers along with miles of wire.
About 7,600 people are now involved in JCP&L's restoration effort, including 3,500 line workers and 1,500 forestry personnel.
Atlantic Electric said the hardest hit areas of its service territory were the 8,000 customers it has in Ocean County.
"By midnight tonight we expect full restoration to everyone except those homes that cannot safely accept power," said spokesman Frank Tedesco.

Randall County commissioners took the final step Monday to establish a sales tax to help rural fire departments and to possibly fund economic development in the future.
They voted unanimously to form the Randall County Assistance District No. 1.
"Basically, this just confirms what's been voted on," said Randall County Assistant Criminal District Attorney Richard Gore, who advises the commissioners on legal matters.
On Nov. 8, voters approved a half-cent sales tax to be collected on transactions in rural areas of the county to fund the district. About 53 percent of more than 700 ballots cast supported the measure.
The new tax goes into effect Jan. 1, said Randall County Judge Ernie Houdashell.
It should generate about $140,000 annually, according to estimates from the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts office. Rural businesses currently collect 6.25 cents on sales of one dollar. That revenue goes to the state.
Commissioners also voted unanimously to establish a ban on the use of aerial fireworks. Potter County commissioners voted the same way Monday in response to the approach of New Year's celebrations.
While there have been a few wet days recently and the U.S. Drought Monitor has taken most of the Texas Panhandle out of the "exceptional" category of drought, it still classifies most of the area as being in the "extreme" or "severe" cetegories.

The California Department of Health has reported that the number of women who have died in childbirth is increasing, having tripled in the last 10 years. Possible causes for the spike include increased probability of obesity and other health problems going in to pregnancy, as well as an increase in the demand for C-sections -- a procedure known to up the likelihood of complications and infections immediately following childbirth.
According to experts, the spike can be prevented by swift, low-cost preventive action on the part of hospitals. Additionally, women should avoid C-sections if possible, and communicate any concerns with their doctor immediately.

I'll be really honest, I mostly like football season because I get to eat Fritos covered in dips made with cream cheese and Lil' Smokies wrapped in bacon, but I do love me some Auburn football.
My husband and I both graduated from Auburn University. I love my team, but I'm not one of those people who makes play-by-play commentary on Facebook at every call made. In fact, even though we have access to tickets on a fairly regular basis, because of the age of our kids, I haven't been to a game in a few years.
Zeb will occasionally head to Auburn on his own for a game and he has been begging me for years to go with him and take the girls. Now, if you have read more than one of my columns, you understand why I have more sense than to load up my three girls, drive a couple of hundred miles to sit in a stadium with a few thousand of my closest friends to watch a game that my kids don't even understand.
But this past weekend the planets aligned. Sadie, our youngest, was spending the weekend with her grandmother. I was in Atlanta at a conference, heading back to Mississippi and Zeb happened upon four tickets to the game. I met Zeb, Aubrey and Emma in Auburn on Saturday and we headed for the stadium.
Emma, our 7-year-old, had never been to a college football game before and Aubrey, 9-years-old, hadn't been since she was four-months-old when she spent the entire game strapped to me with the Baby Bjorn, sleeping peacefully on my chest. I was prepared for lots of trips to the snack bar and wondered how long the girls would be able to last before they asked if we could leave. I was totally unprepared for the superfans that were about to be birthed.
You may not know this about me, but I'm sort of an emotional type. As we stood to sing God Bless America and the National Anthem with the band, I was overcome with emotion. It was just one of those milestone moments, another first in the lives of my girls, just a brief second in time that I'll remember forever. Just like I remember standing in those exact same seats when I was their age, sharing popcorn with my Dad and singing the same hymns to our country.
I tried to nonchalantly wipe the tears from my cheeks as the ball was kicked off. Emma was sitting beside me and when she asked me what was going on in the game, I gave her the simplest instructions I could come up with.
I pointed her to the scoreboard.
"See that little football symbol underneath Ole Miss?"
She nodded.
"That means they have the ball. If they have the ball, you yell stuff like, 'Hold 'em. Hit 'em. Defense," I shouted.
Emma giggled.
"If we have the ball you yell, 'Ruuuuun,'" I screamed and shook my pom-pom in her face.
That was direction enough for her. For the next two hours Aubrey and Emma were on their feet. Emma got so fired up that after every interception or yardage gained, she slapped enthusiastic high fives to every stranger within arms' reach.
During the third quarter, we were joined by a few less-than-pleasant Ole Miss fans, who had found some empty seats behind us. The more they talked, the harder Emma stared at them until she finally leaned in and whispered in my ear, "Do they know they are losing?" I snickered, judging by the fumes coming off of them, it was quite possible they didn't.
Toward the end of the fourth quarter Emma had taken to chanting along with the mother/son cheering squad to our right after every play, "I like it. I love it. I want some more of it." Aubrey was on her feet jumping up and down and shaking her pom-poms so hard, I was nervous she was going to topple down the stadium stairs.
Emma shouted at me, "This is pretty exciting. I think I like football."
I had been prepared to leave early with the girls and let Zeb stay for the end of the game, but after the game was over, we had to tell Aubrey to stop dancing, that it was time to leave.
"I can't stop. I feel so happy, I feel like a Coke can that's about to explode."
Turns out my kids are old enough for game day and they might love Auburn football more than I love Fritos and a cream cheese dip.

NAACP Applauds Court's Decision to Block Discriminatory Texas Redistricting PlanAugust 29, 2012
(Austin, TX) – The NAACP commended a federal court's decision to block the use of new redistricting maps approved by the Texas legislature and Texas Attorney General, based on evidence of discrimination.
"We now have a recent decision of coordinated discrimination on behalf of a governmental body in a jurisdiction covered by the Voting Rights Act," stated NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous. "That flatly refutes the argument that Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act is no longer necessary."
"We are grateful for the decision issued today by the three judge bipartisan panel sitting in D.C.," stated Texas NAACP State Conference President Gary Bledsoe. "The panel looked at the evidence objectively and applied the law to the facts."
The bipartisan panel found that the maps failed to comply with Section 5 of the federal Voting Rights Act. Under Section 5, Texas must show that its redistricting plans have neither the effect nor the purpose of abridging minority voting rights.
"It is notable that the bi-partisan opinion concluded that intentional discrimination existed in the manner that the State of Texas drew the new Congressional districts for each of the African American representatives from Texas," Bledsoe continued. "The opinion quoted each of the 3 African American Congresspersons in regards to how the economic engines were taken out of their districts, as well as how their Congressional offices were all taken out of the districts drawn by the Legislature. Of important note to the panel was the fact that all white Congresspersons maintained their districts, presenting a stark contrast."
"The court made broad findings of intentional discrimination based on evidence that the NAACP put on in its case," stated Allison Riggs, an Attorney at the Southern Coalition of Social Justice who represented the NAACP in court along with President Bledsoe, NAACP Assistant General Counsel Victor Goode, and Attorney Robert Notzon.
Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation's oldest and largest civil rights organization. Its members throughout the United States and the world are the premier advocates for civil rights in their communities, conducting voter mobilization and monitoring equal opportunity in the public and private sectors.

Stanford Residential College was originally called the 960 Complex because it could hold a maximum of 960 residents when it was built in 1968. In 1985, it became the first hall converted to a Residential College and was called The Residential College. Later, it was renamed Henry King Stanford Residential College after former President Emeritus Dr. Henry King Stanford.
Dr. Henry King Stanford was the University's third President, serving in this role from 1962-81. Stanford's presidency was marked by further emphasis on research activity, additions to physical facilities, and reorganization of the University's administrative structure. During his tenure, several research centers and institutes were established, including the Center for Advanced International Studies (1964; presently the Graduate School of International Studies), the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Evolution (1964), the Center for Theoretical Studies (1965), and the Institute for the Study of Aging (1975).
In 2004, the residents of SRC created their own mascot, King Henry of Stanford, in Dr. Stanford's honor. The mascot was created through the vision and creativity of SRC students, to both re-connect Dr. Stanford with his building and usher in a new era of pride for its residents. Reginald Holmes, an SRC Resident Assistant from 2002-2004, initiated and developed the concept. King Henry, who can be seen at major SRC events, provides an avenue for residents to get involved with creating excitement in SRC, and helps stimulate an even livelier residential community.
All student rooms at the University are air conditioned. Cable television service, Internet access and local telephone service are included in room rent. Students, however, must bring their own phone instrument. All rooms are equipped with bed, dresser, desk, chair, bookshelf, trash can, and window coverings. Lounges, meeting rooms, music practice areas (Stanford College only), laundries, and vending areas are located throughout the residential colleges and apartment area.
