LUCEDALE, Mississippi --- Channing Ramon Carter, 27, of Benndale, was arrested and charged with felony possession of marijuana after the George County Sheriff's Office received a tip during a traffic stop, according to a news release.
Sheriff Dean Howell said George County proceeded to a George County residence on Quinn Drive where marijuana was reportedly being sold.
Upon arrival at the residence and after obtaining written consent for deputies to search the premises, deputies searched the home when an occupant of the house admitted to having marijuana in the home. This suspect was identified as Carter of Jim Jam Road in Benndale.
Deputies found two large bags of a green leafy substance which the suspect confirmed was marijuana. After a quick search of the rest of the house, Carter was arrested and transported to the George County Regional Jail where he awaits his initial court appearance.
All evidence and drugs were turned over to George County narcotics agents.

Holy shit: Jesus may be my most favorite guy on the site so far. He is smoking hot. And Samuel ain't so bad himself, which left my cock leaking before I got a minute into the video. Collin O'Neal filmed this for us in a small bathroom in Spain. MANHUNT has members all over the world. In fact, Spain is one of our fastest growing markets. And with how hot they grow the men there, we knew it would be worth a trip to check out. The sex is so hot that I'm at a loss for words.

Write On! Express and Enjoy Yourself consists of three parts: 1) expository journal writing with the introduction of clustering. The journal writing is to be used for the students' free expression and for continuing lessons in the unit; 2) understanding, enjoying, and responding to poems by two minority women, Maya Angelou and Julia Alvarez. The selected poems are ones that the students can relate to and understand when reading; 3) lastly, writing character sketches of people. This lesson entails students viewing a few posted pictures and then responding to questions which lead to writing character sketches of people in the pictures. Also, there is a short vignette for reading which the students will discuss (this lesson includes vocabulary, and using the new vocabulary of the story they have read). Paraphrasing will be introduced and used in the reading and writing section of this unit.
The poems, pictures, and short vignette are on file in the Institute library, 53 Wall Street.

Understand Abe, but focus on Japan
By Grant Newsham
There is rising concern that Japan risks entrapping the United States in a conflict with China as a result of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's "right-wing" policies. Abe's views should be placed in perspective: there is a genuine basis for concern, as well as a basis for progress and optimism.
Some of Abe's actions, particularly his Yasukuni Shrine visit, are mystifying and frustrating to those who value the Japan-US alliance. Equally difficult to justify are the routinely provocative comments about comfort women and Japan's behavior during World War II and the decade leading up to it by directors from
public broadcaster NHK and Japanese officials. These actions are less mystifying if one understands the thinking behind them, however.
Abe and a slice of Japan's ruling class believe Japan did a noble deed with its war - throwing off the white man's yoke in Asia and freeing the colored races (their words, not mine). Moreover, they believe that the Tokyo War Crimes trials were illegitimate, and the Nanjing Massacre and other "alleged wrongdoings" were just that - "alleged". And, they reason, if Japan did do anything wrong, everybody did such things during the war.
Abe and that small slice of the ruling class believe that as long as Japan accepts this "masochistic" view of history (again, their word, not mine), Japan will never regain its independence and respect - its own self-respect and the respect of other nations.
Thus, actions such as Abe's Yasukuni visit convey that the current administration in Tokyo does not accept past apologies and admissions of "guilt"; these are intended to refute the "self-humiliation" that restrains Japan. Abe considers it principled leadership to take such actions, and deems them worth doing even if they provoke criticism.
One aspect of Abe and his allies that is seldom recognized is their resentment over Japan's loss in World War II (which, they believe, they were tricked into) and being occupied. Equally irksome is that their Constitution (and democracy!) was foisted on them by Americans.
They hate the idea of foreigners controlling Japan - from some, I have even heard regret over US-imposed democracy. They believe that Japan is a Confucian society, run by an elite class (them) for the good of everyone else. Although most of these people would like to continue the relationship - including the military relationship - with the United States, their resentment is a troubling undertone and must always be kept in mind. This explanation is key to the debate over "why" Abe does what he does. It's not that hard to figure out: just ask him and his people. But Americans normally fail to ask.
This apparent lack of familiarity with Japan's conservatives is in line with my long-held observation that America's "foreign policy class" (diplomats, think tank researchers, journalists, academics, bloggers), seems to only talk to a relatively small number of Japanese elite and media. A prominent Cabinet minister told me shortly before being selected for his position, "You Americans always talk to the wrong Japanese." (I'd just told him that the Japanese always talk to the wrong Americans.) It may seem like "Diplomacy 101," but at times we have forgotten that communication with all elements in Japan's political arena is vital to improving mutual understanding.
Do the ideas of Abe and hardline rightist resonate with the Japanese at large? Not really. Importantly, in what passes for Japan's ruling class, there are many people who do not possess this resentment about World War II, nor totally agree with Abe and his supporters. They appreciate the US and want a sound relationship, albeit a more equal one.
The US needs to better cultivate and support these people. Talking to them regularly would go a long way. This would enhance their position in the Japanese hierarchy, and would help the US to better understand Japan. Japanese politicians, officials (active and retired), academics, and media often express frustration at not being able to offer their insights. They either have no access to or are sometimes obstructed by Japanese officials bent on controlling the dialogue. The US side - PACOM, the Pentagon, and the Washington foreign policy world - should have a reasonable open-door policy and do more to welcome this community into the conversation
Track-two dialogues, think-tank discussions, and seminars are helpful communications channels, but can be improved by a concerted effort to include scholars, officials, and others who aren't fluent in English, which is a vast majority of this group. Going beyond the relatively small group of English-speaking Japanese would broaden understanding in both directions. Interpreters are expensive, but the payoff is considerable.
Americans should step back and consider Japan from a broader perspective and not focus too much on a particular administration. Prime ministers come and go, and most of them have their peculiarities. Don't fixate on particular comments. Some of former prime minister Hatoyama Yukio's ideas caused as much consternation as anything Abe has said. There is more to Japan than a prime minister and his curious ideas about history.
Finally, understand that neither Abe nor Japan have any intention of picking a fight with China or anyone else. Ultimately, Japan represents a higher manifestation of civilized, responsible behavior, individual freedom and consensual government than most of its neighbors, particularly the China, North Korea, and Russia.
Japan seldom explains itself well; it can use US help. For example, Chinese and Korean assertions that Abe has taken Japan to the verge of 1930s militarism have been allowed to take hold. The US government should help Japan challenge this false assertion. Instead of publicly expressing "disappointment" over Abe's Yasukuni visit, US spokespersons might have highlighted Japan's last 70 years of exemplary behavior and declared our relationship will not be undone by the Yasukuni visit. If necessary, complaints should be made in private.
If the US is serious about achieving its national security objectives in Asia, it must look beyond the quirks of the Abe administration and build a relationship with Japan similar to the "special relationship" we've had with the British. Japan has its quirks, as do we, but our two countries are still the best hope for freedom and prosperity in Asia. The key is to focus on Japan, rather than Prime Minister Abe.

This is the arresting title of a column on the Illlinois gubernatorial election by Grist staff writer Jonathan Hiskes, published September 13. Grist's website section, "Gubernatorial Tutorial," reports on governor's races state-by-state.
To articulate the positions of Quinn and Brady, the author quotes spokespersons from Chicago's Center for Neighborhood Technology, the Environmental Law and Policy Center, and the Sierra Club. They all support the author's preference for Gov. Pat Quinn over his opponent.
Hiskes contrasts Gov. Quinn's career-long history of environmentalism to State Senator Brady's voting record on environmental issues and comes up in Quinn's favor. Experienced representatives from the groups named above share their informed views that Brady would be bad for Illinois, and would likely "halt or even reverse" Illinois' renewable energy progress.
As a long-time reader and supporter of Grist and its issues, I was pleased to read this factual account. The column on Gov. Jennifer Granholm's green and clean energy development in her state is also worth a glance. And if you've ever lived somewhere else, you can see what they have to say about that state's race.

Economists, futurist to take the podiums for newly merged corporates 34th annual forum.
Newly merged corporate planning economic forum in Atlanta.
SAN FRANCISCO — The sluggish recovery is creating a difficult climate for credit unions for the foreseeable future, economists tell NAFCU attendees.
The latest forecasts for new auto loan originations at credit unions appear to be positive but with some caveats.
Paul Parrish, executive vice president and chief financial officer for Nevada Federal Credit Union, has joined the Credit Union Economics Group.
ARLINGTON, Va. -- There won't be a double dip recession but the short term outlook is for modest growth, the top economists of CUNA and NAFCU said last night.
NAFCU has promoted four of its key executives to vice president, the association announced today.
The stark words jumped off the page of the report. "Consumer inflation rose 0.5% in December, the highest monthly gain since June 2009," according to an advisory prepared by Brian Turner of Southwest Corporate Investment Services in Plano, Texas.
The top economists of CUNA and NAFCU will get out their crystal balls as they discuss the state of the economy and its impact on credit unions at the Feb. 7 meeting of the Metropolitan Area Credit Union Management Association.
Credit unions will need to focus on finding new members and improving their loan penetration to compensate for a long-term drought in loan demand, leading CU economists said.

The San Francisco 49ers elevated rookie linebacker Keaton Kristick from the practice squad to the 53-man roster on Tuesday, filling the opening left by the release of safety Michael Lewis this week.
Kristick was undrafted this year but signed with the team and took part in training camp. He was a two-year starter at Oregon State and was named first team all-Pac-10 as a senior.
Niners coach Mike Singletary has spoken of the need to add an inside linebacker to the roster, but when Kristick's name was mentioned in the past, he said Kristick was not ready.
In another move, the 49ers announced the hiring of Chris Beake as offensive assistant coach. Beake spent the past two seasons on the staff of the Seattle Seahawks but worked previously for the 49ers from 1998 to 2003. He was an offensive assistant in 2003.

A project aiming to make the town a better place for business was officially launched this week.
And the search is on for a project manager to take the Selkirk BIDS (Business Improvement District Scotland) process forward.
Building on a community action plan created last year, a local steering group was established and funding secured for the position.
The successful applicant will consult with local firms on the creation of a business plan, setting out the action required to improve business in the town.
Ian Main, director of accountants Stark Main & Co, is a member of the steering group, which is seeking new members and input on the focus of the business plan.
He said: "I am delighted to be involved with the steering group and we are actively recruiting for a high-quality project manager to take this exploration project forward.
"We will endeavour to meet and consult with all the businesses in the town over the next 12 months to gather thoughts on how we could best improve the town to become a better place for business. I look forward to the positive impact this project potentially has for our businesses."
Those interested in joining the group or having their say should email chairman Will Haegeland on firstname.lastname@example.com.

Boot 'thug' Sam Burgess out of the Rugby League World Cup, writes Phil Rothfield
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- October 29, 2013
SAM Burgess should have been suspended for the remainder of the Rugby League World Cup. He is a thug.
No other word adequately describes the man's appalling and inexcusable behaviour on rugby league fields in 2013.
This is the fifth occasion the South Sydney forward has been involved in foul play and unsavoury incidents in 2013.
It's a record that is starting to make Les Boyd, Bob Cooper and Adrian Morley look like clean players.
The squirrel grip, a crusher tackle, the facial (almost gouging) of James Maloney, a head-high on Mitchell Pearce and now a good old fashioned stiff arm on Sam Thaiday.
And his penalty? If this was a one-off incident for the season, two weeks would be sufficient punishment — even if England's next two World Cup fixtures are inconsequential matches against Ireland and Fiji.
There's every chance he would be rested for one of the games anyway.
On Monday, I spoke to recently-retired NRL match-review committee chairman Greg McCallum about the incident.
He's had more experience dealing with foul play than anyone else in the game. He says it was reckless, rather than careless, meaning a higher penalty if it was going before the NRL judiciary.
It takes a lot to knock over Kangaroo second-rower Sam Thaiday, let alone leave him sprawled out on the turf with concussion.
One of the toughest forwards of the modern era, he was attacked to the head as Burgess came in like a missile.
With the football under one arm and players already in the tackle, Thaiday had no hope of protecting himself.
This was not just a cheap shot, but a brutal and dangerous swinging arm that could easily have broken Thaiday's jaw.
The fact he wasn't sent off immediately was a joke.
Burgess used to be one of the most admired and respected forwards in the NRL.
He is a super football player but his foul-play record this year can no longer just be ignored.
Outside the cases he was charged on, I also had a problem with the tackle that ended Matt Cooper's career in the Dragons-Rabbitohs match.
Accidents can often happen in the high collision, high speed game that is rugby league.
But there is nothing accidental or even careless about squirrel grips and crusher tackles.
It's thuggery.
Sam Burgess needs to be taught a lesson.
His World Cup should be over.Originally published as Boot 'thug' Burgess out of Cup

Play on if he was at the sharks hey Rothfield.
shameful Posted at 8:53 AM October 29, 2013
It's a changing of the guard. NRL's newest uber grub taking out one of NRL's current biggest grubs. I'd say Burgess is every bit as bad as Gallen and starting to remind of John Ribot. One week is simply the most disgraceful decision I've ever seen.
Richard Kramer of Australia Posted at 8:22 AM October 29, 2013
once a grub always a grub, he will do it again in the World Cup challenge and again next season in the NRL, but they keep turning a blind eye and giving him minimal suspension time! Until he is sidelined for a good lengthy period he will not change his game. Or until he severely injure somebody with his recklessness. In regards to the International Rugby league judiciary is a Joke!... One week!... If it was an Australian player doing it to an English player they would be baying for blood

A veteran NOPD sergeant who is accused of leading police on a 90-mph chase across the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway on Thursday and then refused to come out of his Covington house, has been booked on charges of aggravated flight from an officer, speeding in excess of 90 mph, reckless driving and disregarding a traffic signal.
NOPD Sgt. Gary Calico surrendered to the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office on Thursday shortly before 7:30 p.m. After being booked, he was released on his own recognizance.
Calico, who supervises a task force in the NOPD's 6th District, which covers
Central City and the Garden District, was suspended from the police
force as soon as the warrant was issued for his arrest, Remi Braden, a
spokeswoman for the New Orleans Police Department, said on Thursday.
On Friday, NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas said of Calico: "Certainly he's suspended without pay right now pending the outcome of this investigation."
Serpas said the NOPD has worked closely with the Causeway police in the case.
"Everybody has their day in court, but any time another law enforcement agency makes the allegations from their personal observations that they made, and the putting of so many people at risk, that requires an emergency suspension without pay," Serpas said. "He will continue to be suspended without pay for the foreseeable future until we get to the bottom of this."

Forest Grove Mayor Peter Truax and Cornelius Mayor Jef Dalin will come together on Monday, Feb. 24, to lay out each city's accomplishments over the past year and challenges ahead in their annual State of the City addresses.
The addresses will take place at noon during the Forest Grove/Cornelius Chamber of Commerce Luncheon at the Community Auditorium. The event is open to the public. Lunch is $10 for chamber members and $12 for other guests. Those interested can RSVP by emailing Howard Sullivan at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Truax said he will touch on the city's economic growth over the past year, commending the city's economic development department's work on creating between 70 and 100 jobs. He will also note the importance of the sustainability commission's work in the coming year.
Truax plans to highlight Pacific University's efforts to build a new residence hall. Construction on the project began more than two months ago.
Other topics he will touch on include the city's work to approve its Comprehensive Plan, its ongoing road and transportation improvements, and its land annexation efforts.
In last year's State of the City address, Truax highlighted the expansion of TriMet service in Forest Grove, the city's purchase of the Times-Litho property, the enhancement of the Fernhill Wetlands, and several ongoing road projects.
Dalin's speech will touch on the city's forthcoming challenges after the Cornelius City Council's recent decision to shift policing responsibilities to the Washington County Sheriff's Office, as well as its efforts to bring a library bond measure back to voters in May.
Dalin said he will praise community events such as the city's holiday tree lighting and movies in the park, as well as the city efforts to complete a multimillion gallon underground water storage project.
Last year, in his State of the City address, Dalin lauded the city's increased citizen involvement and plans to revitalize its town center.
Truax said he will discuss another major accomplishment: the Seahawks' Super Bowl win.

It took a few starts for Brent Honeywell to get going in Arizona, but the second-ranked Rays prospect displayed his dominating stuff Monday in four one-hit shutout innings for the Javelinas.
The Angels' course was bumpy across the board in 2016, but the performances of Jahmai Jones and Matt Thaiss as well as a Pioneer League crown point to a brighter future.
Kansas City's No. 7 prospect Ryan O'Hearn isn't ready for the 2016 baseball season to end, and he's using the Arizona Fall League as a chance to build on a stellar regular season.

With power-hitting Christin Stewart headlining a core of outfielders and lefty Tyler Alexander among several standout pitchers, the Detroit system showed promise in 2016.

Eaton on the good-natured ribbing he's been getting for his comment about being the straw that stirs the drink.
"That's the showing of a good team. I was fortunate to be on a couple of championship clubs in the minor leagues and that's what you have in the clubhouse, just fun going and guys giving each other a hard time, t-shirts that make no sense and pictures of guys when they were in their teens. It's fun loving…a club that can laugh together usually will win."

While the Sox are on the road in Milwaukee on May 12 and 13, popular comedic actress Melissa McCarthy, who was born just outside of Chicago in Plainfield, Illinois, will be at U.S. Cellular Field to shoot scenes for the upcoming movie, Michelle Darnell.
Quote of the Day
Don Cooper on a recent conversation he had with Chris Sale (via CBS Chicago):
"We were talking, and I said, 'You know, I got to tell you something. You're the best pitcher I've ever been lucky enough to have, and I appreciate you. I'm not talking about…gameday. Certainly, I appreciate you in there.' Here's the things I appreciate most from him. One, he wants to be good, you know. He wants to be one of the top guys.
"I appreciated him for that, his desire and hunger to be good.
"As a pitching coach, he's a dream.
"Our biggest job, my biggest job, is to keep this guy healthy because if he's healthy, he's got to go out there and do some special things, which we've all seen since he arrived here in Chicago."
Tomorrow's Schedule
White Sox vs. Tigers in Detroit (1:10 p.m., CT, WGN). Probable Starters: LHP Chris Sale for the Sox, RHP Anibal Sanchez for the Tigers.

Shirts vs. Skins
Yesterday's intrasquad game was rained out, but it was a go today as the Sox Shirts and Sox Skins faced each other a day before Cactus League play begins. Highlights of the day: Micah Johnson went 3-4 with two stolen bases and three runs scored, Conor Gillaspie connected for two triples, Tim Anderson went 2-3 with two RBI and Trayce Thompson homered.
Jeff Samardzija was on the mound for today's intrasquad contest and he's feeling good.

"Yoga" Johnson
Micah Johnson used Yoga to help his development this past offseason.
Who knows if Adam LaRoche's son Drake will be the third generation LaRoche to reach the big leagues, following in the footsteps of his grandad Dave, a 14-year major-league pitcher, dad Adam and uncle Andy, who is also in Sox camp this spring. But if Drake does reach the bigs, he very well may look back at this conversation with Jim Thome at Sox camp as being one of the reasons why he made it.

Today's News
Adam's Arrival
First baseman/DH Adam LaRoche (pictured above) checked into camp today, two days before the full squad reports on Tuesday. It's interesting to note that LaRoche, one of the club's key acquisitions in the offseason, will be occupying Paul Konerko's old locker. He's also here with his brother Andy, a third baseman who is a non-roster invitee (photo compliments of CSN's Chuck Garfien).

Scorpions Invade Sox Camp–Really
A group of honest-to-goodness scorpions were seen at Camelback Ranch on Saturday. The eight-legged predators caused a bit of a scare, but no harm was done. Some media members looked at it as a natural progression–a Shark (Jeff Samardzija) officially arrived on Friday followed the next day by a group of arthropods.

Quotes of the Day
* Manager Robin Ventura on the addition of Vince Coleman, one of the best basestealers of his time, serving as a baserunning instructor in spring training:
"We're very fortunate to have him out there, especially with the basestealing stuff. I wouldn't know what that is, but there are guys, there is a certain mentality of doing it. Especially with Adam [Eaton] leading off, he has the speed to steal more bases, so you want him to have that mindset that a guy like Vince had."
* @Chuck Garfien: Jose Abreu in Spanish to the pitcher during his long hitting session:
"You're going to need some ice."
* Gordon Beckham on his return to the Sox:
"I feel like I have a good chance to go out there and win a job, that's all I really want."
* Coop on his conversations with newcomers Zach Duke and David Robertson:
"I said to them, 'You know what I think when I see you two guys? There's the 8th and 9th inning.'"

Tonight's Game
White Sox vs. Cubs at U.S. Cellular Field (7:10 p.m., CT, WCIU) in Game 3 of the Crosstown Cup series. Starters: LHP John Danks (2-2, 5.00) for the Sox, LHP Travis Wood (2-3, 3.35) for the North Siders.
Sox Starting Lineup: Beckham 2B, De Aza CF, Abreu 1B, Viciedo LF, Ramirez SS, Konerko DH, Sierra RF, Semien 3B, Nieto C.
Plays of the Day
Gordon Beckham's eighth-inning solo home run (his first homer of the year), which followed base hits in his three previous at-bats, broke a 1-1 tie in the Sox's 5-1 win last night over the Cubs…In the ninth, Tyler Flowers doubled in the third run and Jordan Danks, who came into the game as a defensive replacement in the eighth, doubled in two more…Newly acquired outfielder Moises Sierra, a late insertion in the starting lineup, doubled and singled three times in his first start for his new team…Hector Noesi pitched five outstanding innings, allowing just a run, four hits and a walk with six strikeouts…Zach Putnam pitched two perfect innings and got credit for the win, Scott Downs pitched a scoreless eighth and Daniel Webb closed it out in the ninth.
The Beckham homer:
Gillaspie Returns
The Sox have returned third baseman Conor Gillaspie from his injury rehabilitation assignment at Class AAA Charlotte and reinstated him from the 15-day disabled list and optioned outfielder Jordan Danks to the Knights.
Gillaspie has been on the disabled list since April 26 (retroactive to April 22) with a left hand contusion. Before heading to the DL, he was hitting .302 with seven doubles, 12 RBI and eight runs scored in 16 games this season.

Sox Notes of Note
Last night's triumph was our third win in a row put us back at the .500 mark (17-17)…we are now 51-45 in the Crosstown Cup series and 26-21 at U.S. Cellular Field…the White Sox are way ahead of the pack with 33 ninth-inning runs. The Athletics and Rangers (21) and Diamondbacks and Mets (19) are next in line…with Beckham and Sierra each collecting four hits last night brought to mind the only other set of Sox teammates to record four hits in a game vs. the Cubs–A.J. Pierzynski and Alex Rios on June 11, 2010 in a 10-5 win at Wrigley Field…Sierra's hits were a career-high and the most by a White Sox player in his first start with the team since Richie Zisk's first start on Opening Day,1977.
Quote of the Day
Robin on Noesi's performance:
"He threw great. Even the last game he threw, he got through three and then that little bump with four, but he's stretching it out where he's throwing more pitches. He's making that adjustment really on the fly. It's impressive that he's able to step in and give us that kind of effort."
Tomorrow's Schedule
White Sox vs. Cubs at U.S. Cellular Field (7:10 p.m., CT, CSN) in the finale of the four-game Crosstown Cup series. Starters: RHP Scott Carroll (1-1, 0.68) for the Sox, RHP Jake Arrieta (0-0, 0.00) for the Cubs.

The Affordable Care Act helps children from low-income families get health care, and that's a good thing. But some of those children still have trouble seeing a doctor – because their families lack transportation. That's the conclusion of a research letter published by Children's Health Fund scholars in JAMA Pediatrics, a peer-reviewed journal from the American Medical Association..
Researcher Roy Grant and his team used the Health Transportation Shortage Index, a tool he also played a lead role in developing at Children's Health Fund, to measure how difficult it was for residents in each of Mississippi's 82 counties to get to a doctor's office. They found people in two-thirds of those counties were at high risk of having transportation challenges.
The distances involved weren't enormous; most people were within six miles of a clinic. But without a car, and with limited public transportation options, it was difficult for them to get themselves and their kids to the doctor regularly.
The letter argues that developing new transportation services for these families would improve their health – and save money in the long run by reducing emergency room visits.
To learn more, read the letter here, and see our paper on the Health Transportation Shortage Index. Children's Health Fund is advocating for solutions to transportation problems for low-income patients. You can read more about those efforts on our Transportation Barriers to Health Care Access page.

Good Food, Good Times, Good Memories!
Looking back, I amaze myself that I pulled off a traditional 7 course Italian dinner. Before this Johnsonville House Party opportunity I don't think I would've tried it. So happy it was a success! My theme was Girl's Night In for all my gal pals with dinner, wine, Pictonary or watching Mamma Mia. I can now see while the Italian's are happy people. We ate and talked and laughed for hours. We started with a platter or various cheeses, proscuitto, & seasoned olives served with wine, of course. This was followed by an Italian caprese salad. Next was homemade focaccia bread with seasoned oil dip. I was excited to present my favorite Italian Sausage soup. Although I didn't think there would be much room, the main course was Mostaccioli Bake. After much more conversation we were ready to have a fruit salad to prepare us for the tiramisu. I'm not a huge fan but it was loved by most. Knowing there would be so much food, I made my normal portions and had take home bowls ready to fill and send home with all my guests. It was amazing! My only flaw was that I was so busy with each different course that I forgot to take any pictures! I can't believe it!!! On the bright side, I have more sausage left over from my party package & plan on hosting an Easter cookout with it. So two parties in one woo hoo! This will be for the whole family and the kids will be hunting eggs. The camera is never far with the kids around so I should remember this time. Sorry that I messed up. I'll do better in a couple of weeks! THANKS JOHNSONVILLE!!!

Worth looking into
Should you try buying prescription glasses online? Some advice:
- • You'll have more chance of success with single-vision glasses than with multifocal and progressive lenses.
• The stronger your prescription, the more likely your glasses won't work well.
• Before you shop, try on lenses at an optical store to make sure they are the right size for your face and for your prescription.
• Think twice about buying your first pair of glasses online.
• Think twice about buying children's glasses online.
Sources: Cleveland Clinic ophthalmologist Dr. David Sholiton, Pearle Vision optician Jessica Leben.
Not too long ago, Cleveland Clinic ophthalmologist Dr. David Sholiton had a patient show him a new pair of tortoise-framed progressive-lens eyeglasses ordered off the Internet.
The glasses seemed to fit well and work nicely.
"They told me what they paid, maybe $50," remembers Sholiton. "I was astonished. How can they do it?
"I showed it to an optician here, and she said, 'That's less than what we get the lenses for, let alone the frames.' "
The patient was among a growing number of consumers, eager for savings, who are turning to the Internet to buy their prescription eyeglasses. While this one seemed happy with the purchase, the patient was also something else, Sholiton says.
Buying prescription specs off the Net can be a gamble, he says, and your odds get longer the stronger and more complex your prescription is.
Yet that's hardly stopping people from turning their computers into personal optical shops.
Google the phrase "cheap glasses" and you'll be rewarded with literally dozens of sites -- with such names as 39dollarglasses.com, cheapglasses123.com and optical4less.com -- that offer single-vision prescription glasses, that's lenses and frames, for as little as $7.
How can they be so cheap?
"I think the question should be reversed," says Andy Kaps, co-owner of California-based GreatEyeglasses.com, which offers glasses for as low as $14.99. "It's not so much 'Why do we charge so little?'; it's more, 'Why do they charge so much?' "
Kaps uses the example of anti-reflection coating on lenses, an extra that costs $4.95 on his site.
"There is a doctor here in San Francisco who had an ad that had a special on anti-reflection coating for $80," he says. "We charge $4.95 for it and we have to make a profit, so you can imagine what the cost is."
Kaps says his low prices come from volume business, automated equipment and labs that are located in China. "We don't have a store; we are just a Web site," he says. "But it's backed by years of experience.
"We're professional at what we do," he adds. "We basically do the same thing most other labs do: They get your prescription, they send it off, the lenses come back, they get put into a frame and you try them on.
"Ninety-eight percent of the time everything works great."
Kaps' site opened almost three years ago and is growing rapidly, enjoying 15 percent to 30 percent increases in sales month to month, he says. Much of his business is word of mouth.
"You know how it is," says Kaps. "You get your new glasses. You wear them to work. Somebody says, 'I love your glasses.' You say, 'They were only 35 bucks.' People say, 'What, 35 bucks? I just paid $350 for mine.' "
Shopping for glasses online isn't difficult. Customers punch in their prescription and their pupillary distance, a measurement of the space between the pupils that can be measured by a doctor, a friend -- or yourself, with a ruler and a mirror.
On some of the sites, customers can upload a photo of themselves and see how the glasses will look on their faces. Frames vary from cheap plastic to designer. Fitting them on your face is your job, which is part of what concerns Sholiton.
Glasses need to fit properly, on your nose, behind your ears, he says. They also need to be the correct distance from your eyes and in the right spot, so you are looking through the "optical center" of the lens, a sort of bull's-eye on your glasses where your eyes are meant to be. Even if the prescription matches, variables such as the curve of the lenses, the tilt of the lens, the frame size, the material of the lens and more can cause distortions and strain.
"It's more than just going and buying the deodorant off the shelf," Sholiton says.
Kaps admits that the biggest problem his customers run into is fitting the frames. He suggests either doing it yourself (a hair dryer can help plastic frames bend) or bringing your new glasses to an optical store.
"You can go into an eyeglasses place," he says, "and for $4 or $5 they'll adjust them for you."
As a test, The Plain Dealer bought three pairs of glasses online, each with single-vision lenses without coatings and each an inexpensive, simple, black plastic frame: a $12.95 pair from ZenniOptical.com, a $17.95 pair from EyeBuyDirect.com, and a $29.99 pair from GreatEyeglasses.com.
Each arrived quickly, within 2½ weeks of being ordered.
The prescriptions of two of the three checked out OK, according to Jessica Leben, an optician at Pearle Vision in Cleveland. The third pair, the cheapest, was five degrees off in the left eye.
"It's going to create some strain," Leben says.
The bridges on two of the frames were too narrow and did not fit on a reporter's nose, sitting too high and creating some distortion.
So of the three, only one fit correctly and had the correct prescription.
(Refund policies of online optical shops vary, so if you decide to order online, make sure to check how you are covered if you're not happy with your specs.)
Leben isn't dismissing the concept, but she has some caveats.
"I have no problem with people going and buying these glasses as backup, as junk glasses they can toss around the house," she says. "But I still don't think they're getting the same quality of lens as they'd get at an optical store. That's part of the reason they're selling them so cheap. . . . For everyday wear, especially bifocals, it's important to get them from a professional."
Sholiton goes a step further.
"This is still a medical device," he says. "You're wearing glasses because you want to see. . . . If you would need a pacemaker, would you go online to see if you could get it a little cheaper?"

The 20th Bunratty Chess Festival took place from 1 - 3 March in Ireland, featuring 39 players in a 6-round Swiss "Masters", and a 10-player single round-robin "Classic" competition.
The Masters event starred perennial rival English grandmasters Mickey Adams and Nigel Short. This time it was Mickey Adams (pictured) who repeated his success in last year's event, taking first place with a score of 5½/6, ahead of Nigel Short and Richard Bates on 5/6.
The inaugural Classic competition was won by another English GM, Mark Hebden with 7/9 points.
Veselin Topalov was a guest at the opening of the festival and made the ceremonial first move in the Masters competition.
The time control used was 90 minutes for all moves plus a 15 second increment.

Inaugural Bunratty Classic Final Standings
Games via TWIC.
Its good to have Swiss style tournaments where club players can play GMs, its good for the sport. The problem is that plenty of club players forget everything about chess theory when facing GMs... They put a little tail behind their legs and revert to sub-1000 tactical chess... they would probably draw a game or 2 if they weren't so freaked out.
I went to Alex Baburins Chess camp he knows me on first name basis but everyone in Ireland knows Alex if they know chess
all my friends went to this but I had sport on
Adams seems to play a lot of minnows these days.

Beware of unscrupulous insurance companies, some of whom will insist that you still pay premiums after a pet's death
Keeping a pet healthy has never been more expensive. Insurers, keen to cash in on Britons' love of all things furry, are raising premiums while making it increasingly difficult for owners to make a claim. Some owners are even left paying premiums after their pet has died. Times Money investigates pet insurers' tricks and how to avoid them.
Premiums Pet insurance is important. Vets recommend that all pet owners take it out because bills can be expensive — the average claim on a policy is £600. But while vets' bills are rising, by 12 per cent this year alone, insurers are

Ratings for Dr. Jeffrey R. Oyler
The younger of the two admin. assistants didn't have a clue. She suggested pre-appointment protocols that had no application to me or my condition. When the the older AA phoned--only because it was her one day on the job--the problem was corrected right away. When I went for the appointment the younger of the two began asking for irrelevant information again. At the appointment the doctor seemed extremely dull and unresponsive. He seemed to have made up his mind before the appointment and had nothing to offer in the way of explanation. it was a waste of time.
I found Dr. Oyler to be extremely knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. I felt as though he genuinely cared about my chronic, debilitating migraines, and wanted to approach the right treatment for me. When issues arose with my medication, and possible other areas of my health, he addressed those and even referred me to another specialist very quickly. I think the negative comments stem largely from expecting medical professionals to act as though they are your best friend. I've seen many doctors that left me feeling as though I wasted my time; Dr. Oyler was not one of them.
I went to Dr Oyler for chronic migraines and felt I knew far more than he did. He gave me useless information and when I probed him for more answers he had nothing to offer me. I received botox injections for migraines and after receiving them I looked at where he was supposed to inject and I didn't receive the recommended amount or the right sites to treat migraines. I will not be going back.
My wife has epilepsy and has been getting progressively worse over the last few years, I accompanied her on her last visit to DR Oyler because I really had my doubts he was trying to genuinely help her, besides continually loading her up on drugs with horrible side effects. It is a 2.5 hour drive from Revelstoke to go see him each time, when I walked in he did not even give me the time of day or any formal introduction as most normal humans would. He spent about 2 mins listening to my wife explaining the side effects she was experiencing from the latest pharmaceutical cocktail prescribed, my wife told him the drugs where making her feel depressed, Dr. Oyler told her that he was not a depression DR.!!!!!!! WTF. She was then given another prescription for some new drug, and we were given no information on it or its side effects. Total time in his office was about 5mins. From what I saw, (I hold an advanced medical first responder ticket) Compassion for her serious medical condition was non existent and basic patient care was a joke at best. We (seriously) had to google the new medication to find out its side effects!! As you can tell, I was extremely not impressed with this bozo, If I treated clients like this at my business, I am sure it would have been bankrupted years ago. We will be looking for a different doctor!!
He should not be a doctor I agree with with all of the people who were treated like just a speck of dirt to be swept away so he could get on with his day. I could do what he did, check reflexes and poke and scratch the bottom of peoples feet for big bucks to. It picks my butt that they treat everyone the same when each case is different. He can't think outside the box. So sad :(
I recently visited Dr Oyler. I was prepared, I had all my reports/opinions (very extensive including MRI's, CATS, Cardiology Tests/reports and blood work) and created a self history. His interview was professional, did the standard neurology tests and then we reviewed everything. I had a positive outcome on something that was misdiagnosed by previous physicians. So far I'm happy with with my appointment with Dr. Oyler.
Agree with most of the other negative comments on this site. Dr Oyler never bothered to say hello or introduce himself and that pretty much summed up his entire interest in me as a person & patient. Had no helpful suggestions and showed no inclination to do anything other than some very quick physical tests. I would suggest that you google "Standard Neurological Tests" and have someone who has absolutely no interest in you administer the tests and then shrug in a bored manner when you ask them for the results. You will save yourself the gas money and any expectations you may have of being treated professionally.
Dr. Oyler seems to me to have very limited knowledge in Neurology. His displayed certificates show only that he is a G.P. trained at UBC. There was nothing in either his certicates, his exam or his expressed knowledge to suggest he was formally trained and an experienced neurologist. After years of surgeries and experience with proffesionals in this field, I was very disappointed in both his knowledge and his attitude. He seemed more interested in pushing pills and making generalised statements, before even had the facts. He seemed more focused on his preconceptions than listening to anything I had to say or even the facts in my GP's reports. After a quick, superficial exam he just handed me an outdated, not relevant photocopied pamphlet and a prescription. I would recommend that if you needed a neurologist...look elsewhere!
Extremely rude and arrogant, I saw him over a period of approx 3 months with worsening weakness. Did not take any of my problems seriously, told me I was depressed, and told me any woman with two kids at age 22 would be depressed. After falling down some stairs and needing to be carried into emerg, almost 3 months later, I saw a competent and fantastic neurologist who quickly diagnosed my problem and also advised me that I almost died. It took almost 4 years and 1 surgery to put me into a remission.
An absolutely excellent medical specialist. Prompt, courteous, very gentle exceptionally knowledgeable, and took special care in explaining my condition and treatment procedure to me. Alleviated my nervousness and anxiety almost instantly. We are so lucky a city to have him and his father, caring so well for us. He seems a little shy which is refreshing in a man and a doctor, yet so confident in his expertise. The quarterly treatments keep my condition completely alleviated.

Thank you Fanny.
Thank you Fanny!
No beam-forming
No indoor - residential testing
Not doing throughput measurements
Not used speed-test for WiFi
Chamber testing - EMI
No indoor or outdoor testing
Hello from Portland
Very good lecture, Thanks Fanny
thanks again and i am looking forward to tomorrow
Thanks and good day.
thank you all for attending
Thank you, Fanny.
good day to all
Is the forming accomplished entirely with amplitude and phase adjustments of the multiple transmitter signals?
Very interesting lecture, thank you very much
thanks fanny, rob, digikey and ieee
The mobile device would need to be adaptive on the beamforming. This takes time and may not 'reset' to the best orientation.
Great lecture, Fanny. Thanks to everyone who attended and participated with comments.
yes - ideally we want beamforming on a mobile device. hard to do at 700 MHz where LTE typically operates because antenna elements are big and each TX draws battery power.
Fanny, your thoughts: In a mobile device, the fact that the orientation of the device is unknown, could even be an argument FOR using beamforming. The pattern of the antenna could be varied according to position (assuming we can move the beam to any point in 3 dimensions).
Horn antenas are broadband and directional. they are good for test chamber applications because of their wide bandwidth and strong field in the direction of the DUT. Vivaldi cross polarized antennas are another good alternative.
on a mobile device you may not have enough transmitters to do beamforming but the mobile device can respond to the base station with channel sounding results and the base station would then know how to beamform to that mobile device.
why is the horn antenna used mostly?
I would think you do not want beam forming on a mobile device as orientation is unknown.
correct - we can form a beam with small apperture printed antennas. the higher the frequency the smaller the antennas and the easier to do beamforming.
yes - we ship the octoBox MPE testbed fully assembled and integrated with octoBox chambers.
We can form the beam to some extent using even the small printed antennae, on a PCB, isn't that correct?
could beamforming be done at the receaver?
do you use your mpe in conjunction with your chamber to measure tis/trp and antenna correlation? also, what is your mu?
This field is very new to me but my experience with MEMS microphone arrays helps me understand antenna directionality. My experience in aircraft flutter testing helps me understand multi-path and mathematical transforms.
horn antenns do focus the beam and they could be used in MIMO systems, but they do tend to be big. i have only seen horns used in test chambers and point-to-point links.
tomorrow we will look at MCS (modulation coding scheme) adatation, which is more complex.
couldnt we accomplish beamforming by using horn antennas? is the only concern antenna size on device?
we can and should develop better adaptation algorithms
Yes there is a frequency dependent formula for free space path loss vs. range and some ballpark adjustements for the range in the presence of multipath indoors and outdoors.
Is that data rate adaptation behavior unavoidable? Or could we develop an improved ada[tation that could "learan" how to get max throughput again?
Thank you, and a question: marketing *always* wants range numbers; is there any accepted (or, to your mind, acceptable) way to translate test results and chamber testing into LOS and NLOS ranges?
Data rate is set by the transmitting device.
data rate is typically set based on the packet error rate
the reason we don't recover peak data rate is that the data rate adaptation is non-optimum and stateful. We can recover it only after power resetting the device.
Thank you.
thank u
Thanks Fanny!
Thanks Fanny
Thanks Fanny.
Funny thanks for awesome lection! Thanks for Digi-Key!
Thanks Fanny, Rob & Digikey.
Fanny, slide 17, Rate Adaptation - Please comment again briefly, why does the peak data rate not recover even after the channel impairment vanishes?
Thank You Fanny
thank you
thank you for another great presentation
Thanks Fanny and Rob.
Thank you Fanny
Thank you Fanny, Design News, and Digi-Key
thanks Fanny and Rob
thank you Fanny and Rob
Thanks again Fanny
Thank you very much!

Shelter Report 2014
Step by step: Supporting incremental building through housing microfinance
Habitat for Humanity's 2014 Shelter Report focuses on incremental building — a method of improving housing one step at a time.
Over half of residential construction in the developing world is built in stages as needs change and resources become available. Few have access to affordable housing finance.
With slums continuing to grow, we need to encourage market solutions such as housing microfinance to support high-quality incremental building.

Ancient Destruction's and the Archaeologist
'Mungo' is the author of the series. He is an Australian archaeologist with a passion not to follow traditions in archaeology. Peter does not think archaeology involves being 'thrilled' by dusting off broken pots and bones. What drives him is a passion to ask questions about civilisations and huge constructions that were suddenly smashed and just 'disappeared' from the face of Earth. He also questions how cosmic interference affected our planet.

Dancing Queen wanted to do her Science Fair project on melting ice. We took six small dixie cups, filled them with water and put them in the freezer overnight. Ok, actually it was more like over three nights because we got busy with other things and didn't do the experiment until the actual day of the Science Fair, but for your purposes, freezing them overnight would do the trick!
Once the ice was frozen, we were able to cut them out of the dixie cups using scissors and place each one in a muffin tin compartment. Dancing Queen chose what things she wanted to try to get the ice to melt faster. We left one as is as a control. We poured hot water on one, cold water on another, steam on another, sugar on one, and salt on the other.
Here is a picture before we added anything to the ice:
This is immediately after adding the variables to the ice:
As you can see, the control did melt slower than any of the others. Hot water melted the fastest.
Dancing Queen then dictated to me what she had observed during the experiment and we included that as well as a picture she drew of the process and the photographs on her display board for the Science Fair.
