Reassuringly a wide array of effective therapies are now available and – thanks to the work of Professor Zakrzewska – there is now good evidence about which agents or surgical procedures are likely to be of greatest benefit.

Ernest Aflakpui is the most popular kid in school.
"Or at least he's one of the most popular," said Paul Romanczuk, boys' basketball coach at Archbishop Carroll.
A lot of people expected the Ghana native to be shy, Romanczuk said, when Aflakpui moved in September 2012 from Africa to live with a host family a short drive from the Radnor campus.
"He's someone that has opened up and let the whole Carroll community know who he is," Romanczuk said.
As he continues to win over his classmates, Aflakpui is doing the same with local college coaches.
Temple offered him a scholarship - his first - in April, and the Owls were followed over the summer by La Salle and St. Joseph's. Penn State has shown interest, and Aflakpui said he expects an offer soon.

Special recomandation for Gala.
Special recomandation for Gala.
These people relate to each other so well they remind me of the Protopopovs.
Thank you mzheng (sniff,wipes tears on the cat)
Just beatiful, MZheng. Figure skating sometimes tries to make a distinction between the technical and the artistic sides of the sport. This team shows the beauty in athleticism.
A few years back when fans were screaming for more 19th century ballet like B&S or contemporary romantic like S&P, I was thinking S&Z will eventually surpass them. They were more into 22nd century figure skating.
That DC Worlds, imo, would have won gold for them in 2002.
IMO the skate of S/Z were one of the most overrated programs of all time, if it weren't for her injury.
Thanks for the clips. I love Shen and Zhao! :D
Yeah, I kind agree in a sense that the NA public want some team, any team beat Rusian, just like S&P's LP at SLC.Originally posted by shine
IMO the skate of S/Z were one of the most overrated programs of all time, if it weren't for her injury.
You would not say that if you had seen them live in DC.
Trust me. It was almost as emotional a program and as emotional a crowd reaction as T&D 1984 Ottawa(which I also saw live). It was one of the all time great programs. That doesn't mean S&P and B&S weren't all time great in 2002 though. Who knows how those 3 programs would have fared if they were side by side? (I wasn't so privileged that I got to see them.)
Yes, I am sure that the knowledge of her injury and the admiration of her courage added to the crowd's reaction. And it perhaps also was added to by the fact that the DC rink is in the middle of DC's Chinatown and even has its name in both Chinese characters and English. Somehow, it felt very right and satisfying for S&Z to do well there. But that aside, it was still a great program. Zhao got into the character, perhaps because he truly was doing everything he could for his princess, as in the story.
It all worked. It was magic, and the fact that it was a great performance does not take away from the great performances of the past.
Some performances are just better live.
That's definitely was a factor. There was rumor floating around that they properly would withdraw, most did not expect to see them, not mention skating like that, this shall help getting crowd cracy. Actually their 4CC performance was top DC's one -- That's what Shen said. Just that the chinese crowd in Peking not as passionate as NA audience. That's cutural difference.Originally posted by DORISPULASKI
Yes, I am sure that the knowledge of her injury and the admiration of her courage added to the crowd's reaction.
I see a lot improvement in their skating this season, a lot transition movement are smoother and refined. The spin unison also improved. The most important the confidance showed in their skating. And those facial expressions much, much more improved. I would give them thumbs up for the improvement in expression and emotion, Chinese people usually are more reserved, they are not acustom to show their emotion openly, they must work hard to reach today's level.
I tried going to those sites tonight and all I got was a bunch of Asian printing. I don't understand what to click on or whatever.
Grgranny, DEFINITELY!

Board delays awarding of winter maintenance contract
Hope — The Board of Selectmen opened bids for next year's winter road maintenance Tuesday, March 11, but did not award a contract.
Town Administrator Jon Duke said in addition to current contract-holder Farley & Sons, there were two bidders that Road Commissioner John Monroe was not familiar with. He asked for time to gather more information about those bidders before making a recommendation about which company should get the job.
In addition, the Board reviewed proposed changes to the town's land use ordinance that would change the size of some resource protection areas, enlarging some and making others smaller. Duke said most of the protected areas would remain the same if the changes are accepted by town meeting voters. In addition, the changes would allow for a process under which people could challenge a resource protection designation without the need for a special town meeting to change the designation.

Two Republican senators are criticizing an extravagant judicial conference planned for later this year.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is set to hold a taxpayer-funded conference in Hawaii in August. Some of the events include paddle board lessons, a golf tournament, and a snorkel trip.
In a letter to the court, Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said the conference seems more "like a vacation than a business trip."
"We are concerned that using the tax dollars of the American people to pay for a conference of this sort is not the most appropriate use of funds," they wrote.
Their complaints come after the controversy surrounding a lavish Las Vegas conference held by the General Services Administration.
CBN News will have a special report on wasteful government spending on conferences, on Wednesday's edition of "The 700 Club." Check your local listings or check CBNNews.com May 23 after 10 a.m. ET for that report.

Because a large number of Linux system administrators are *also* Windows
system administrators.
In a majority of cases, a "Windows shop" is a place that runs Windows on
the servers and the desktops. They need Windows administrators. And a
"Linux shop" is a place that runs Linux on the servers and Windows on
the desktops, so needs Linux administrators and Windows administrators.
Places without Windows are a small minority, so the number of Linux
administrators who are NOT also Windows administrators is small.
People who can administer two systems make more than people who can only
do one. Since most Linux administrators fall into this category, the
average for "Linux administrator" is high.

Michelle Obama to America's Parents: "Its our job now to stand with the people of Newtown"Asha Dornfest
Michelle Obama wrote an open letter to America's parents today offering guidance on talking to our children about the Newtown shootings. I've included the full text of the letter below.
I find it deeply comforting that the First Lady and the President have been talking about Sandy Hook from their perspectives as parents as much as (even more than?) their roles as political leaders. We all feel the national scope of this tragedy, the enormity of it; the painfully personal impact.
A week has passed, and hopefully, in that time, we've been able to breathe through the initial shock. I feel no less heartbroken, but at least I can think more clearly than I could last Friday.
The powerlessness we all feel has at least a partial antidote, and it's sitting a few steps away from you: your phone. Call your congressperson. Write a letter, if you prefer. Tell your representatives what you're feeling right now, what you care about most. Every call, every letter gets logged and tracked, and when enough voices call out for change, Congress listens, and hopefully hears.
Your representatives want to hear from you. You don't need a polished speech or a perfectly-developed argument. Call. It's not scary and it's not time-consuming. It is important, it's one way you can use your power to change things. It's one way you might have a hand in preventing this horror from shattering a town and our hearts again.
Dear parents,
Like every American, Barack and I are absolutely heartbroken about the unspeakable tragedy that occurred last week in Newtown, Connecticut. And like so many of you, our first reactions were not as a President and First Lady, but as a Mom and Dad. We were asking ourselves, what if this had been our town, or our school, or our girls?
And we know that all across the country, it's not just adults who are asking questions right now our children are looking for answers as well. Like us, they want to know, why did this happen? Could it happen again? And as parents, all of us can take the time to hold our kids close and talk with them about the things that truly matter: our love for them, the importance of extending that love to those affected by this tragedy, and how that love truly defines our great American community.
We can tell our kids that we're doing everything we can to keep them safe and make sure they feel loved and so are their teachers, coaches, faith leaders, Scout leaders and everyone else who plays a role in their lives.
We can remind them to be grateful for the educators who work every day to help them achieve their dreams and for the first responders who risk their lives at a moment's notice to protect ours.
We can tell them about the extraordinary people of Newtown and how they have responded to unspeakable tragedy: the educators who sprang into action; the children who carefully followed instructions and comforted each other amidst the chaos; the neighbors and faith leaders who have come together to support one another.
And finally, we can tell them that it's our job now to stand with the people of Newtown to pray for them and to find ways, large and small, to show them that they are not alone in their grief. It is now up to us to carry the memory of those who were lost in our hearts and to follow their example every day, living our lives as they lived theirs with courage, determination, hope and love. Those are the values that give us our strength as Americans and that we return to in times of crisis not just because they help us heal, but because they define who we are, as a people and as a nation.
May the memories of those we lost be a blessing to their families, their community and our country, and may God be with the people of Newtown as they begin the slow and painful work of healing and moving forward.
Michelle Obama

It was probably back in 1997, though some think it might have been even earlier, when the Chestnut Hill Friends Meeting concluded that it had outgrown its space and that it was high time to erect a new building. But because it is not the Quaker way to rush into things, the group spent a few more years reflecting on whether it should buy land on Mermaid Lane for the new meetinghouse.
Even after the group sealed the deal in 2003, there was still plenty more talking and thinking and praying to be done about the undertaking. There was a "dialogue session" to articulate the group's "touchstone values," then, a year later, a workshop with a facilitator, and, finally - just to be certain - a retreat for members.

Since the mid-'90s, when he entered our lives with the plastic eyeballs and beefcake pantyhose, Beck has been a master of surprise.
Otherworldly lyrics and experimental sounds have always been a hallmark of Beck's music, with the possible exception of 2002's Sea Change. But even that straight-up saga of heartbreak and loss came as a shock to many (and I dare say it's one of his best records).
Beck's latest project, Song Reader, isn't a record at all but a collection of sheet music lovingly released by McSweeney's. I'll admit, when I heard about the idea I had doubts, but after spending a couple weeks with the box set I've changed my tune.
Music aside, Song Reader is a beautiful art object. Each piece of sheet music -- there are 20 in all -- comes with original art by folks like Marcel Dzama and Leanne Shapton and is suitable for framing. The work manages to look both old-fashioned and modern, a trait that spills over into the tunes themselves.
One glance at the song titles -- Eyes That Say "I Love You," America, Here's My Boy -- tells fans that Beck has attempted to write more classic American fare here, a sentiment he echoes in the preface. (He writes, "At times I struggled against my own writing instincts -- where was the line between the simplistic and the universal, the cliche and the enduring?")
But at times the music veers into more Beck-like territory. On the track Mutilation Rag, for example, he urges musicians to play at a "bizarramente" and "punch drunk" tempo.
The irony of Song Reader is that this old-fashioned format could be the most forward-thinking endeavor the music industry has seen in awhile. In the set's introduction, writer Jody Rosen observes that "We have returned to the parlor room, with the laptop camera taking the place of the upright piano."
The ultimate goal of Song Reader is to inspire fans to pick up instruments and record the tunes themselves. Over on songreader.net you can sift through a pile of cover versions, some better and weirder than others. (So far one of my faves is Amy Regan's take on Do We? We Do, but there are many more worth exploring.)
There will certainly be folks who will treat Song Reader as a gimmick -- and before I explored it further, I might have been one of them. But the more time I spend with this release, the more I'm starting to think it's a modern-day version of, say, The Velvet Underground & Nico, or any other classic album that has sparked thousands of kids to pick up instruments.
And who knows? Maybe it'll lead me back to the piano, an instrument I haven't played in 15+ years. While I appreciated many records in 2012, I can't say any of them offered similar inspiration.
Song Reader is currently sold out on McSweeney's but copies are available for pre-order and on eBay.

What materials did you use? Cotton batiks, thread, yarn, ribbon, leather cord, embroidery floss, beads
What are you most proud of? I really loved using lots of different techniques and materials. This is the first time I couched leather cord and I enjoyed trying out different stitches on my machine. In addition to decorative and hand stitching, I also added some areas of free motion stitching and beadwork. Lots of fun!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? Let yourself experiment. Try something new, ESPECIALLY if you have no idea how it will turn out! The results could be fantastic. On the more technical side, I did the free motion stitching with only the top and interfacing, pre-quilt-sandwich. In future projects, I might opt to do some free motion stitching AFTER quilting the sandwich together. I think it would add to the texture and appeal of the piece.
I really like this. Did you work this as three separate pieces or did you just start with one and then cut it up?
Love it. Thanks for sharing your creativity! The idea of adding sashing is unique!
Really beautiful and interesting. The squares on the green background really stand out.
Beautifully bright colours! I especially like how the pattern continues from one of the pieces on the right to the next. The sashing is an interesting idea.

Wyndham VR Mountain Vista, Branson
Beautiful condo.
nice 5 night stay but noisy upstairs neighbors, extremely thin squeaky floors. Otherwise lovely condo in Branson with beautiful scenery. Great landscaping on grounds, pools, playground and man made creek with frogs singing. well equipped condo . The spare bedroom had two queen beds, master king bed. But the mattresses were very hard. Bathroom in master had jetted tub and walk in shower.

Stay here.
The check in was kind of confusing, but we were directed by nice employees. Very very clean and quiet. Nice place. Sales call was a little annoying, but polite. Very nice place, especially for families. Very comfortable. Early checkout at 10 Am took us by surprise. Would stay there again. The best condo in Branson.

Great place and great service. Will stay here again!
Wyndham VR Mountain Vista, Branson
Wonderful spacious room well kept and can't complain kids had so much fun. Everything is close by id say 2 miles away from the main strip where everything is located shops and attractions. One thing on the negative side is they try to get you to buy timeshares. if they call just decline to meet for it unless u are interested in listening and taking a few hours of your vacation listening to it.

Great Option For Large Families
These condos were a great option for large families. They were very reasonably priced, clean, conveniently located, and well furnished. They do not include daily maid service as is true with most condos. My only complaint is the beds were not the most comfortable- most likely due for replacement.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

escape to freedom still a headliner
At Sandra Jarecki's Fairview home, a trunk full of memories and walls of photos commemorate her late husband Frank's daring 1953 escape from Poland in a Russian MiG-15 aircraft -- a high tech wonder at the time.
On March 5, the Jarecki family will celebrate the 60th anniversary of his escape to freedom as a 21-year-old pilot. Frank Jarecki died in 2010, but the family continues to honor the day -- which is also youngest son Peter Jarecki's 32nd birthday.
"We made a big deal of it every year," Sandra Jarecki, a Realtor with Howard Hanna Realtors said. "And Frank and Peter celebrated something special together."
As we sifted through the memories, Sandra shared that Frank, born Franciszek Jarecki, lived a life that movies are made of. He grew up in Krakow, Poland, where his father, a Polish army officer, had been killed by the Russians, and his mother, Valeria, worked in a Russian hospital.
Frank Jarecki was nearly sent to Siberia with most of his neighborhood, but he was booted off the train -- at the age of 10 -- and somehow returned to his hometown. A spirited youth, Sandra says, Frank often "stole gas from the Germans and sold it back to them." Likable and clever, Jarecki was recruited to become a communist member -- something he knew was a necessity if he wanted a life as a pilot. The soldier, who had recruited him, warned that Frank could never admit that his father had been in the Polish army.
"If they found out you had ties to anyone with knowledge, education, military experience or power, they'd kill you," Sandra Jarecki said. "The soldier had coached Frank to say his father had been a shoemaker."
Within years, the teenager entered flight school and became an award-winning pilot, but his dream to fly had a price. At 20, his superiors forced him to spy on his friends, and Jarecki knew that his friends were probably spying on him, as well. He also feared that someone would discover that he had ties to the Polish army.
On March 5, 1953, Jarecki flew his plane away from the pack and claimed to be on a secret mission when superiors ordered him to return by radio.
His fellow pilots followed orders to shoot, but Jarecki escaped and landed in a cow pasture. He feared he was still on Russian soil.
"The Russians wouldn't let them have maps," Sandra explained. "They didn't want anyone to escape so they gave them very little information. Frank knew there was an American air base in Denmark, so he looked for it, but never saw a runway. When he saw soldiers come toward him, he was prepared to kill himself because he knew they would kill him or torture him. He discovered the people coming toward him were Danish and not Russian."
The Danes feared offering asylum to a defecting Polish pilot -- they wanted to avoid any confrontation with Russia, Sandra explained. Frank Jarecki spent months -- some of it in jail -- trying to get to America. After time in England, he finally received approval to visit the United States.
President Eisenhower awarded Jarecki American citizenship, and Jarecki lived the life of a celebrity. He started school in California, moved to Washington D.C., and settled at the former Alliance College in Cambridge Springs where the Polish alliance taught him to speak and understand English. He eventually met Sandra, a student at Clarion University.
Jarecki worked in Reno, Pa., and then opened his own business in Franklin and moved to Erie in 1968 where he founded Jarecki Industries, currently run by his sons.
Sandra taught school in Harborcreek until they started a family with twins Frank Junior and Alison Edfors, 41; Erika Jarecki, 36; Johanna Lyudmirsky, 34; and Peter Jarecki, 31. The family also includes eight grandchildren.
Frank's story has been covered at length in numerous magazines, and Sandra recalled appearances on "To Tell the Truth'' and "You Bet Your Life."
In 2002, when the Smithsonian Institution opened its National Air and Space Museum, the facility requested many of Jarecki's personal belongings as part of its aviation technology and Cold War exhibit.
His flight suit -- a plain black leather jacket and pants had been a family heirloom, but it didn't get respect at home. "Our kids wore it as a Halloween costume over the years," Sandra Jarecki said with a smile. "It was hanging in our garage at the time."
The jacket and pants of the Polish pilots differed from the anti-gravity suits U.S. pilots wore. Jarecki's plane included a pressurized cabin, and his defection helped the U.S. develop its own advanced airplane technology.
Over the years, Jarecki had many celebrity moments with Bob Hope, Clark Gable, Bobby Vinton and Howard Hughes, and photos are plentiful at the Jarecki home.
Sandra added that Frank had been forbidden from returning to Poland, but CNN Europe worked hard to make it happen in 2006 for a documentary. The entire Jarecki family visited the country for the first time.
"It was very emotional," Sandra recalled. "He visited places he hadn't seen since he was a kid. They filmed all of it and made a Polish documentary. It was very well done."
But this hero's story isn't an American movie yet. "Oh, they are interested," says Sandra of Hollywood. "A team from California spent days here with Frank recording his life and history about 10 years ago. The script was great, but it would have been as long as 'Gone with the Wind."'
And too bad that movie title is taken. Looking back 60 years, this family has celebrated some historic drama that changed the world. Hopefully a movie will someday cherish the life of Erie's Frank Jarecki. LEL

WASHINGTON–(ENEWSPF)–July 12 – The press conference Friday morning by National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower Edward Snowden, and his subsequent written statement accepting offers of asylum, now formalize his status as a recognized recipient of political asylum in five countries.
It is the position of the Government Accountability Project (GAP) that Snowden's whistleblower status is now bolstered by political refugee status.
By threatening trade sanctions against countries abiding by international human rights standards, the US government is now violating Snowden's right to seek and accept asylum under Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This effectively creates an unprecedented global "No Fly Zone" for whistleblowers.
"The history of whistleblower prosecutions, along with these newest efforts by the US government, clearly demonstrate there are no safe, internal channels for Snowden. And now we know there are no safe external channels either," stated GAP Executive Director Beatrice Edwards. "The US has now globalized its War on Whistleblowers."

Former LSU outfielder and designated hitter Sean McMullen will likely begin his professional baseball career with the Houston Astros after they picked him in the 30th round of the 2014 MLB draft. A Brother Martin graduate, McMullen is a cousin to former MLB all-star Will Clark.
McMullen's hot hitting helped LSU to the SEC tournament championship and a late-season 10-game winning streak. He finished his senior season tied for the team lead in home runs with seven. He batted .288 with 40 RBIs.
McMullen played two seasons at LSU after being a JUCO all-American in his second season at Delgado Community College.

From Coggin v. Davey (1974):
"We think that the statute is applicable to the departments, agencies, boards, bureaus, etc. of this state and its political subdivisions. It is not applicable to the General Assembly. ...I don't have much to add to that. It just came up kind of randomly today.
We concur in the holding that the General Assembly is not a "state department, agency, board, bureau, commission or political subdivision" and that the statute is therefore inapplicable to the General Assembly."

Featured Golf News
Lawrie Captures Qatar Masters
Scotland's Paul Lawrie shot a 7-under 65 to win the weather-shortened Qatar Masters. The European Tour event started Thursday, but high winds Friday at Doha Golf Club reduced the tournament to three rounds.
After a birdie on the first and an eagle on the ninth holes - both par-5s, Lawrie carded four more birdies on the inward half to finish the 54 holes in 15-under 201, four strokes lower than Jason Day (65) and Peter Hanson (67).
"I don't think I can play much better than that," the 1999 British Open champion said. "I've been playing well for a long, long time, but it's just nice to come out one ahead and shoot 7-under."
Day also had a rousing back nine, with four straight birdies on Nos. 10-13 and another on the par-5 closer. "It's been a very successful week and I did everything I could to try and catch (Lawrie)," the Australian said.
"The wind wasn't up as much as the last few days, but I'm excited to be heading back to the U.S. to try and take this momentum into the PGA Tour."
Hanson came away impressed with the winner. "Paul played fantastic and hardly missed a shot," the Swede noted. "He holed out when he should, made all those clutch putts and chipped in a couple of times. To go out in the lead and shoot 65 on this golf course is an unbelievable achievement."
After opening with a 67 to get into contention, John Daly struggled in the second round to a 1-over 73. But the Arkansas native rallied with another 67 to end up in solo fourth at 9-under 207.
Daly now plans to stay on the European Tour and is happy how that adventure began. "It's a great start - a very unexpected start," the two-time major winner said.
"My goals are to get my European Tour card and maybe get into the DP World Tour Championship at the end of the year. I think if I can get into enough tournaments then that's a realistic target I hope.
"If I just keep doing what I'm doing and working at it, then it's all about confidence for me."

White rice is my number one food for carb up days when I'm serious about powerlifting. I think it's easily digested and has very few antinutrients compared to other grains. Never had a problem even after being primal for months.
Where I live, white rice is one of the basic and cheap food items that is used in almost all meals. It is very hard to find other types of rice except for the normal white.
As I am exposed to white rice daily, it is very hard to avoid.
Could anyone inform me about the positive and negative side of eating rice?

White rice, all things considered, is not the worst thing you could eat. It's just a load of empty calories, and is rather high on the GI, but there are certainly worse vices you could have. I suppose it would be alright to eat in small amounts, if you must. It won't kill you, and is certainly better than most any other grain. So I say go ahead, but I would be careful about eating to much of it, unless you are a big weight lifter, or something.
I thought white rice was moderate GI; I don't know what the Glycemic Load information on NutritionData means. If I HAVE to eat grain, white rice is it. But yeah, it's just an empty filler - something to soak up that last bit of gravy rather than a nutritious component of your meal.
It's not terrible, but it's pretty much just empty starch. You're better off with potatoes, which at least come with a decent amount of micro-nutrients and protein. Or quinoa.
And really, what do you trust more: heavily processed rice, or a spud that you pull out of the ground and cram in your mouth?

The whole concept of a macronutrient, like that of a calorie, is determining our language game in such a way that the conversation is not making sense." - Dr. Kurt Harris
I thought green bananas was the staple in Samoa.
Ok, I'm confused. I thought white rice was not as good as other rices?
I think white rice is much less offensive than ANY of the other grains. It's just a pile of starch that will for sure cause your body to release insulin but not much else. It's not like the other grains that go through and terrorize your body in so many ways. If I didn't have weight to lose I would eat it more. so as long as you're not struggling with weight or blood sugars I'd say go ahead and enjoy (small) portions here and there. It is a great filler in so many recipes.
I sincerely think that listening to one's body is important when considering food choices, especially once the "detox" period has passed. I've noticed no ill effects from eating a moderate amount of rice with a meal on an occasional basis. I'm underweight, so gaining a bit is certainly not a concern - but I do have GI issues that are not aggravated by white rice. I'd agree with the above that it's probably fine on occasion.

Pope's Vatican hotel kitchen goes kosher for a day
VATICAN CITY -- For just one day, the kitchen of the Vatican hotel where Pope Francis lives went kosher.
Rabbi Jaakov Spizzichino oversaw the scrupulous cleaning of countertops, the boiling of utensils and the heating of the oven to render it fit for cooking under Jewish dietary laws.
The occasion? A lunch Francis hosted for a dozen Argentine rabbis last week. It was another sign of his close friendship with Jews, despite some complaints in Israel that he's giving the Jewish state short shrift on his upcoming trip to the Holy Land.
The Vatican has hosted kosher meals for visiting Jewish delegations on several occasions, and Francis famously provided kosher takeout for one of his best friends, Rabbi Abraham Skorka, when Skorka stayed with him at the Vatican's Santa Marta hotel in 2013.
But Thursday's luncheon in Santa Marta's dining room was a special occasion that warranted more -- including the extensive, rabbinically supervised sterilizing of the hotel kitchen that on-site kosher cooking entails.
The Vatican pulled out all the stops as Francis hosted Skorka and about 15 other rabbis from Buenos Aires who came to Rome to visit their old friend. It turned to Ba'Ghetto, one of the best kosher restaurants in Rome, to cater the affair.
"I decided to do it simple, because the pope is simple," said Amit Dabush, Ba'Ghetto's Israeli-born co-owner. "But the menu was full: He had to make a 'bella figura'" -- a good impression -- on his guests.
The on-site cooking required Dabush and Spizzichino, a kosher inspector with Rome's chief rabbinate, to sterilize the small kitchen off the main dining room kitchen.
"It was a kitchen that they rarely used, so it was very clean," Spizzichino said.
The menu was heavily fish-based: antipasti of deep-fried artichokes; baked sardines with endive and tangy, grilled zucchini. The pasta course featured gnocchi with rocket, tomato and pine nuts, and handmade trofie, or little twists of pasta with sea bass and tomatoes. The main course had two choices of fish, along with a beef filet with a Barolo wine reduction in honor of the Argentine guests.

Dear Dr. Gott: I'm a 67-year-old female. My husband is 68. For all our married life, we have gone to a small-town doctor for our checkups.

My friends now say we need to find a primary care physician who specializes in internal medicine, since such a doctor would be able to spot trouble faster. We did make an appointment with an internal medicine specialist, but now when we need to see him for trivial things, we can't get in a lot of the time. This often creates its own set of problems. Can you advise us what to do?

Obstruction of the duodenum or afferent jejunal loop following gastric resection and gastrojejunostomy presents a distinctive clinical picture. It is important to recognize this complication and to be aware of some of its common causes and methods of prevention.
In 1942, Lynn, Hay, and Wangensteen reported autopsy findings on three patients with unexplained dilatation of the duodenojejunal loop.11 A syndrome consisting of distention of the duodenojejunal loop, hyperthermia, and vascular collapse resulting in death was described. The authors attributed the syndrome to sharp angulation or kinking of the loop at the afferent inlet. A similar clinical picture was produced in dogs by creating an obstructed duodenal loop.
Five patients with afferent loop distention resulting from postoperative mechanical obstruction at the anastomosis or the opening in the mesocolon in retrocolic anastomoses have been described by Hartmann.7 These patients developed abdominal pain, fever, and tachycardia. Peripheral vascular collapse and death

Just in today's (Saturday, May 24) paper for example, page A1 states the forecast will be High: 64 Low: 43, with isolated showers.
Then on page A2 it states the high will be 103 and the low 66. So should I wear shorts or a jacket?
Also on the front page it states that the comics are on page D6, but when I go to D6, excited about today's crossword and horoscope (always with the comics), there is an advertisement.
I can't find the comics anywhere in the paper.
These are just a couple of examples from that day's paper. I have not read through the whole thing yet.
I have noticed for the past several weeks many editing issues with stories and headlines. We love The Signal and want to continue supporting our hometown paper, but am I going to have to start checking facts in the paper, and not just typos?Editor's note: The Signal switched computer systems and software in May, and encountered some problems in the process. The May 24 issue was particularly painful. Since then, we've worked out kinks in our systems, hired a new copy desk employee, and added new staff on the production side (where the comics page is put together). We hope you see improvement in the product.

Monday: Susan's Final Day at ALA Anaheim
Today was my last day of the conference, although it continues until Wednesday for some of the higher echelon of ALA Division and committee folks. It has been my most action packed ALA conference to date and it's been worth it (but I'm ready to head home!).
My first meeting of the day started at 8 am. I have been assigned to a new committee for the next 1 1/2 years – the LITA National Forum 2009 Planning Committee. This was our first chance to meet each other and start the planning process. Unfortunately, it conflicted with the Lexis-Nexis breakfast where I was receiving the award (for the second time). So, I rushed in to the committee meeting, introduced myself, sat in for 10 minutes, then had to leave. I hated being unable to fully participate, but what are you going to do?
I enjoyed the Lexis-Nexis breakfast thoroughly, and even more after I had finished my remarks upon receiving the award. There was a very big crowd there and it was a bit intimidating to have to stand at the podium and talk for even a few minutes. But, it helped that I knew that several of my ZSR colleagues had come to the breakfast to support me (I know it wasn't the free food that pulled them in). Thanks to Sarah, Cristina, Carolyn, Lauren, Lynn and (non-too former colleague) Mary Horton, for coming and providing me moral support! I also really enjoyed Dana Milbank's talk about Homo Politicus and the Potomac Man. It was fun to be sitting right next to him at the podium and be able to watch him move through his notes as he spoke. He sounded as though he was talking completely from memory but had nicely structured content to present. I liked the fact I was presented with a copy of his book too!
It was back to the exhibit hall mid-day and I was able to catch Lauren P.'s third poster session of the conference. This time she repeated presenting the poster she created about her student assistant training tools. She had lots of interest and visitors while I was there.
I attended the ACRL President's Program in the afternoon (already reported upon by Lynn). I attended even though I was feeling a bit worn out, thinking that, if it wasn't interesting, I could slip out. Instead, I was totally engaged listening (on the floor, since it was packed) to Dan Ariely talk about how irrational most people's reasoning and decision-making is. He gave many intriguing examples of irrational reasoning, but one concept that caught my attention was his observation that we work in two different worlds: a social one and a financial one. He maintains that when these two mix, things get ugly. His example was of a friend who has a flat tire. As a friend, you are willing to help him change it. What happens when, instead, he offers you a few dollars to help him out, instead of calling on you as a friend to do it for nothing? Suddenly it's become a financial transaction, replacing the former social relationship. And, as a financial transaction, $2.00 isn't worth the trouble. It colors how you think of each other, and it's hard, if not impossible, to return to the social relationship afterward. It something I've observed happening many times through my life, but had never really considered why things got sticky! I so enjoyed his talk that I did something I've never done before. When I walked out of the presentation, I headed right for the table that had his book for sale, and bought a copy. I hope it's as good as I think it will be.
I ended my conference day by visiting Sarah at the ALA Welcome Desk at the Membership Pavilion. As a part of the Ambassador program, Sarah volunteered to staff the desk this afternoon. You can see there are many ways to participate at the ALA Conference.

There is an image, undoubtedly of a hawk or falcon on the hand of a falconer, depicted on a stone tablet some 3000 years old, which was found in the ruins of an ancient Persian city. It was a sport for some and a means of catching food for others, depending on the prosperity of the falconer, until the gun became a more efficient method of filling the larder, and falconry almost disappeared. Luckily, the sport was perpetuated by a few sportsmen, and we have therefore had an unbroken line of falconers in Britain for more than 1200 years.
In modern times it has also become an education and conservation issue. You may be surprised to know that, in Britain at least, populations of most birds-of-prey have dramatically increased in the last 30 years. This in a large part attributable to falconers, who have both pioneered captive-breeding and also educated the public, landowners, gamekeepers etc. about raptors and conservation, through entertaining them at the various country fairs etc. throughout the country.

Chandler's Glen homeowners feel forgotten since default
February 25, 2013
MARTINSBURG — After waiting more than three years to learn the fate of their subdivision, residents of Chandler's Glen feel the needs of their community are being ignore....
Personal responsibility.
As a homebuyer, you have a responsibility to research the builder. Word of advice, don't ever move somewhere with an HOA. They turn you from being a true landowner to a high class renter...

We know exactly how you feel, we as some of the ones living in Elizabeth Station off Henshaw Rd. Our subdivision is what appears to be at least 80% finished and still don't have control of any of the finances for what our HOA fees go to. Actually there has been a few snows this year and we still haven't seen a plow truck!! Our dues go to "Larry Faircloth bank and trust", from there who knows, campaign money while running for state offices I suppose. Sure would be nice to finally have a group of officers from within the subdivision to start taking care of some issues in here! Maybe the homeowners need to start pushing the issue I suppose!!

The bond insurer owes the money to the County. Let them pay up and we'll figure out the use of the money later. What good is a performance bond if you can't collect on it?
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The homeowners should get their own attorney, who can talk with them about the pros and cons of putting the infrastructure in place for the entire 255 homes, in particular the financial liabilities they'd incur until taken over by another developer, and then represent their interests. Their interests do not perfectly align with the County's. If they have an attorney, there won't be any secret proposals. But HOAs are private corporations with quasi-governmental functions and the problems they're having with dumping and drugs and trespassing won't be resolved by the county or state. It's an enormous financial and organizational burden for 12 families to assume.

This should serve as a warning to anyone looking to purchase a home - never EVER purchase one in an HOA community that is in the earliest stages of development. It is far safer to get a home in a completed subdivision, or at least where the developer has built out all the amenities and turned control of the HOA over to the homeowners.
Unfortunately these homeowners are hosed. The developer doesn't have the cash to finish the project, and frankly there's almost no market for it even if he did. Further, if they think things are bad now, wait until the bank flips the property to another developer who raises the HOA fees to pay for stuff the first one was supposed to build and maintain.
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
If the residents "Demand" that all 250 sites be developed, then I would suggest that they call the annoited one in DC - who will fix "EVERYTHING". Of course he will need additional revenue = Higher Taxes. Of course, it is all Bush's fault that the development failed.....
