Nelson Mandela remains in serious but stable condition while being treated in intensive care for a lung infection, the South African government says.
The 94-year-old was rushed to a Pretoria hospital early on Saturday, in the latest health scare that has prompted South Africans to come to terms with the mortality of their anti-apartheid hero.
"He is receiving intensive care treatment,'' presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj, who served jail time with Mandela, told AFP.
He "remains in hospital, and his condition is unchanged,'' the presidency said in a statement.
The government had described Mandela, South Africa's first black president, as being in a "serious but stable'' condition on Saturday.
On Monday, Mandela was visited by his former wife Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and their daughter Zindzi.
The former president's two other daughters paid him a visit on Sunday, while his current wife Graca Machel has been by his bedside since his admission to hospital.
Little information has been released about his condition, but he has a long history of lung problems since being diagnosed with early-stage tuberculosis in 1988.
It is the fourth hospital stay in seven months for the man beloved as a global symbol of peace and forgiveness and the father of the "Rainbow Nation''.
The African Union Commission chief, Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, said she has heard that Mandela is "responding positively to treatment.''
"He has done his part. We just pray that he recovers,'' said Kennedy Moraga outside a private specialist heart clinic in Pretoria, where he is believed to be receiving treatment.
Meanwhile access to the revered statesman has been restricted to close family members in a bid to reduce the risk of further infections.
Maharaj told AFP the authorities wanted "to create a conducive environment for his recovery''.
"Close loved ones are going to him for that reason, that's all, nothing else,'' he said. "He is receiving treatment and we want him to receive the treatment in the best condition for his family.
"They would like to limit the flow of visitors.
"The president will visit him when it's appropriate,'' he said, adding that Zuma does not want "to invade that space willy-nilly''.
Mandela, who turns 95 next month, was back in hospital two months after being discharged in April following treatment for pneumonia.
Fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu joined the legions of local and international personalities wishing the ailing leader a speedy recovery.
"As the beloved father of our nation ... once again endures the ravages of time in hospital our prayers are for his comfort and his dignity,'' a statement from Desmond and Leah Tutu's foundation said.

Franklin Sports Congratulates Partner Miguel Cabrera on Crowning Achievement
Announces Exclusive Auction of Cabrera's Signed Batting Gloves
BOSTON October 5, 2012 – Miguel Cabrera stands alone wearing the elusive Triple Crown of Major League Baseball. Franklin Sports is proud to be THE batting glove that held the bat of Miguel Cabrera for each and every swing of this historic accomplishment. Franklin Sports would like to congratulate Miguel on his great achievement. "We are proud that he wore our batting gloves during the successful campaign of this great record" stated Franklin Sports President, Larry Franklin.
Sometimes the smallest change can lead to greatness. Last year Miguel Cabrera's agent contacted Franklin Sports about working with the brand. Cabrera was unhappy with the quality of his current batting gloves and stated to his agent, "I want to be hooked up with the company that makes the best gloves, and that company is Franklin." The rest is history.
"Miguel is a guy that truly plays for the love of the game. Every time you see him he has a smile on his face and he plays like every pro should, like a kid playing little league ball. We couldn't be more proud to have Miguel wearing our batting gloves and be a part of the Franklin team," shares John Ballas, Franklin's Head of Player Relations and Cabrera's day-to-day contact.
In addition, the Detroit Tigers nominated Cabrera for the Roberto Clemente award, which honors the MLB player who best represents baseball on and off the field. Cabrera has a history of service in the community and recently launched the Miguel Cabrera Foundation, which gives back to various children's charities.
In alignment with Cabrera's off-field efforts, Franklin Sports announces two auctions to win a pair of Miguel Cabrera's autographed batting gloves AND the ability to customize your own CFX Pro Batting Glove in any size/color combination wanted. The winner receives six pairs of the custom designed batting glove, plus the autographed Cabrera pair. Proceeds benefit The Miguel Cabrera Foundation and Boys & Girls Club of America. The auction launches today on www.charitybuzz.com with an opening bid of $500.

It's playoff time for everyone this week, with 5A, 6A and 1A joining 2A, 3A and 4A in the postseason. That not only greatly reduces the number of teams remaining, but also the number of games for yours truly to pick.
Last week was a nice bounce back, as I put forth a 6-2 record. I missed on Vancleave and Ocean Springs winning, which is nothing new because I've gotten those teams wrong almost all year.
There are only four games on the docket this week, two in 5A and two in 4A. On with the picks ...
Brookhaven (8-3) at Pascagoula (10-1)
The Panthers and Panthers meet for the first time since 1965, and it's in the first round of the 5A playoffs. Pascagoula comes in on a roll, having posted a perfect mark in Region 4. Brookhaven is a solid all-around team with lots of playmakers, which means this one should be a tight battle. ... Pascagoula 27, Brookhaven 20
Gautier (6-5) at Wayne County (9-2)
The Gators get the unfortunate first-round draw of the War Eagles, who look to have put together one of their better teams of recent vintage. As Pearl River Central showed two years ago, Wayne County is not invincible at home. Still, I don't look for Gautier to spring the upset. ... Wayne County 38, Gautier 14
Vancleave (6-5) at Magee (9-2)
The Bulldogs are playing their best football at the right time, having knocked off a pair of quality teams in Poplarville and McComb the last two weeks. The Trojans are filled with tradition and loaded with talent. As I mentioned above, I haven't had a good read on Vancleave all year. ... Magee 28, Vancleave 24
St. Stanislaus (11-0) at Greene County (6-5)
The Rock-a-Chaws are one of the few unbeaten teams left, and continue their stunning turnaround from last season's winless campaign. The Wildcats are a battle-tested bunch, but their secondary is hurting. That spells trouble against the pass-happy Rocks. ... St. Stanislaus 34, Greene County 30
Last week: 6-2 (.750); season: 65-25 (.722)

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - A 14-year-old girl was knocked unconscious and hospitalized after reportedly fighting with a boy over an iPod.
The 14-year-boy was taken to the Allen County Juvenile Center and is being charged with battery. The girl was transported to a hospital in fair condition. Both are 8th grade students at Lane Middle School.
According to a police report, Fort Wayne Police responded to an EMS call from a Fort Wayne Community Schools bus just before 7:30 a.m. Tuesday. The driver reported a fight between a girl and 14-year-old boy. The bus driver claimed he tried to stop the fight, but was unsuccessful.
When responders approached Bus 332 on Reed Road and Mediera Drive, they found a girl unconscious in a seat. Witnesses in the report said the boy slammed the girl's head against a window and held her in a choke hold until she passed out. Paramedics treated the girl on the scene and she eventually regained consciousness. The girl was transported to a local hospital. The boy was immediately escorted off the bus by police in handcuffs and taken to a juvenile facility.
The two students reportedly have a history, and the boy admitted to police that they "used to be close friends."
FWPD continues to investigate the incident.
Indiana's NewsCenter asked Fort Wayne Community Schools for a statement, but they refused to comment.

Mtn. View --Blanchard Springs Caverns' Cathedral Room will be the venue for two musical programs in February and March. The underground concerts are in the same format as the popular "Caroling in the Caverns" programs held each holiday season at the Caverns. All the special shows feature local musicians.
"Cupid in the Caverns" will be held at the Caverns on February 11 and "Celtic in the Caverns" will be held on March 17 and 18. The "Cupid" concert features romantic melodies, and the March arrangement is Celtic music.Show times for the programs are 2:30 and 4:30 p.m. each day. Visitors who want to tour the Caverns and see the show can buy "Early Bird" combination tickets. These visitors will tour the Dripstone Trail of the Caverns at 1:00 pm, then see the 2:30 show. To accommodate the "Early Bird" visitors, the last public tour through the Caverns will be at 12:30 on Feb. 11 and March 17 and 18.
Tickets for the shows are $20.00 per person for the show only and $27.00 for the combination Caverns tour and show.

With just two games remaining in the 2012 season, it's become apparent that the Philadelphia Eagles will have a new head coach in 2013.
In 14 seasons, Andy Reid established himself as the most successful coach in team history, leading the Eagles to the postseason nine times, the NFC championship five times and the Super Bowl once. But the team has steadily regressed since the 2005 season, winning just three playoff games in the last eight years.
The 2011 season was almost the final straw, as the Eagles signed a slew of big-name free agents who did not pan out the way they had hoped. Reid was brought back for the 2012 season with the condition that another 8-8 season would not be good enough. Judging by the team's 4-10 record right now, it's safe to say that Reid is gone after the season ends.
Following him should be a number of players who have played poorly throughout the 2012 season, and sometimes the previous few seasons. Here they are, in order by position.

Pratchett becomes serious in Asia
By Chan Akya
On War
by Clausewitz. Forget
Art of War
by Sun-Tzu. Forget
The Prince
by Machiavelli. Forget
by Kautilya (aka Chanakya, the inspiration behind this writer's nom de plume). Instead, the book that every serious political and military strategist around the world needs to buy from the nearest bookstore or download on their Kindle or whatever is
a 1997 work of fiction by the British comedy/science fiction writer Terry Pratchett as part of his "Discworld" series.
Firstly, you need to love any author who describes himself on blurbs as "sometimes he is accused of literature". Perhaps it was the early onset of Alzheimer's or perhaps it was his naturally perspicacious intelligence; but there are times when I am laughing through any one of his "Discworld" fantasies and suddenly get to
thinking "Hey, hang on - this is awfully a lot like reality".
Many years ago, when I first read
, there was some incident in the Indian ocean where a small island had appeared from the depths and caused some debate as to which country was the real owner of the wretched place - (as I remember, it disappeared in the next seismic event). That debate had nothing to do with natural boundaries of countries and everything to do with the 200-mile exclusive economic zone covering the islands. That's one reason a lot of people have this fascination with what are often little more than rocky outcrops.
The main plot device of
is an island that suddenly appears exactly in the middle of the water body between the two main fictional countries of Discworld - Klatch and Ankh-Morpork. Whilst the Klatchians, described as "secretive and primitive" are a bit keen to start a war to claim the island, the rulers of the wealthier trading oriented city-state of Ankh-Morpork are less keen on outright hostilities as they believe it is easier to sell stuff to living people than to dead soldiers.
With that description it become obvious that we have a similar, farcical situation in Asia with the events in the islands called Diaoyudao/Diaoyutai/Senkaku by the main claimants - China, Taiwan and Japan. This author will refer to them by their English name, Pinnacle Islands, simply because this name is so gloriously inappropriate for what the damn thing is - a jagged bunch of rocks sticking out in the middle of nowhere.
Reading the commentaries - be it the Wall Street Journal or the Financial Times, not to mention the more jingoistic publications from China, Japan and Taiwan - one is struck by the sheer sense of farce underpinning the whole situation. The hyper-serious journalists of course don't see any levity in the proceedings; well, they need to make the stories as sensational and dramatic as possible to sell more dead trees (ie traditional newspapers).
Even the inestimable Pratchett couldn't have concocted what passes for reality in Asia today, but if he did try he might have written
with four main characters and a couple of others purely for (further) comic relief:
a. An aging economic superpower that is somehow trying to cling on to its regional relevance even though, quite literally, it has no standing armed forces;
b. A brash upstart who, going through a painful adolescent adjustment period, has decided to risk all by challenging the aforementioned aging economic superpower;
c. Lastly, a spoilt brat which was previously owned by the aging economic superpower and is currently independent but sees its future as part of the new brash upstart, probably intending to bring these wretched islands as its dowry to the wedding;
d. The world's only superpower has borrowed so much money from all three players above than it can never repay even one of them; it is currently distracted by the absence of a functioning government and unable to complete simple tasks like putting together a website;
e. Asia's third- and fourth-largest economies, utterly confused by the proceedings without an inkling of whether they should even say anything let alone do something.
This has the making of a grand comedy, an opera even. Future generations may even appreciate events in the Taiwan Strait during 2013-14 in that light, and someone may yet put together a proper laugh track for all of Asia to be entertained.
Unfortunately, none of this is really funny at the current juncture. For that, we have history to blame, specifically events leading up to World War I - yes, that one from a hundred years ago.
Whenever I read the history of events leading up to that conflict (and certainly this could just be my lack of perception or intelligence, I am left more confused than the previous time someone tried to explain what got the war started. Yes, everyone seems to be agreed on the proximate causes namely the assassination of the archduke; but there are so many other factors playing a part that no one historian really (in my opinion) has managed to stitch together a coherent narrative.
It could well be that the historians who attempt the exercise are overwhelmingly European and therefore bring national stereotypes, schooling and cultural prejudices to their narratives; or it could simply be that none of them are mathematicians with appreciation of chaos theory.
See the parallels between the Asia of today and Europe during the teen years of the last century:
a. An aging economic power whose relevance is being questioned at every step (Russia);
b. A brash upstart who is keen to make its mark on the world (Germany/Prussia);
c. A spoilt brat trying to ignite proceedings for their own selfish reasons (Serbia);
d. A colonial superpower that is a tad overstretched (Britain);
e. A couple of bystanders utterly confused by the proceedings (USA, France).
Then, as now, the high art of diplomacy was left to a set of amateurs pretending to be each country's auteur. A number of other elements of chaos theory were present then as now: changing train (railroad) timetables being one of the more interesting causes of World War I. On that note, please do read
How Wars Begin
by Alan Taylor.
A brief summary here: all wars in Europe depended on moving troops to the border along with the required infantry and armored divisions. This needed trains, and to a large extent most countries had enemies on at least two flanks - for example, Austria faced Serbia and Russia on the western and eastern flanks; while Germany faced both Russia and France.
When finally Russia started mobilizing without actually intending to go to war but purely to show support for Serbia, Germany had no option but to mobilize. Faced with the prospect of having trains running in opposite directions and the war effort stretching thin, Germany took the momentous (and catastrophic) decision to invade France first and knock it out of the war. That decision, thanks to the constraints of train timetables, ended up being the real spark that started the war). At least, that's one theory.
Today's version of railroad timetables is China's decision to impose an Air Defense Zone that includes disputed islands. The country has required all airlines to report their routes in advance. While the main airlines of Japan - JAL and ANA - immediately complied, smaller airlines like Peach Aviation decided to cock a snook at the Chinese; this has led to the PLA mobilizing warplanes over the zone. The US sent in two unarmed B52s to overfly the zone and now has sent drones to monitor all planes in the area.
The chances of an accident are extremely - and even unacceptably - high. If the PLA were to shoot down a Japanese civilian airliner, nothing less than war could be the result.
Hence my refrain - all the main characters above should spend a few hours read
, calm the heck down and defuse the situation.

FLINT, MI -- The Genesee Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Flint Health Coalition are touting campus-wide smoking bans as a way to improve employee productivity and reduce health care costs.
The two organizations are hosting a one-hour forum on how area businesses can create policies for a campus-wide ban on smoking. The event will be held from 8-9 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 13, at the Riverfront Banquet Center in downtown Flint.A top priority of the chamber is creating an environment where businesses can be successful, and rising health care costs are a challenge that many companies face, said Genesee Regional Chamber of Commerce CEO Tim Herman.
"Some companies have gone out of business because of it," said Herman, adding that unhealthy lifestyles account for 25 percent of employee health care expenditures.
"Rising insurance premiums means fewer dollars for expansion, new equipment and jobs," he said.
The forum will include a panel discussion with education and health officials, focusing on the benefits from smoke-free policies.
A toolkit will also be provided with information on how to implement a smoke-free policy in six months or less.
Many businesses have policies on smoking in buildings, but haven't made it campus-wide to include outdoors areas, Herman said.
It's been within the last 20 years that businesses have implemented smoke-free policies for buildings and the trend has been for health care organizations to extend that out to the campus, said Sally Seymour, interim director of health and lifestyle management for HealthPlus of Michigan.
The amount of savings, if any, on insurance premiums would differ for companies, but productivity will improve as employees will find it too inconvenient to take a break for a smoke, Seymour said.
HealthPlus of Michigan does work with client companies, recommending that smoking policies are gradually implemented and that employees be given notification of the changes several months ahead of the changes, she said.
Instituting a smoke-free campus is a much bigger commitment than having smoke-free facilities, and it is more likely to occur with smaller organizations. Companies will expand those policies to the grounds as that trend grows, Seymour said.
"Whenever we go and work with a company and try to set up a comprehensive program, we tell them that is one of the key pieces you need to create is an environment of health," she said. "That means you have to become a non-smoking facility. The trend is there, but it's much easier to become a smoke-free facility than it is a campus."
Community Mental Health instituted a campus-wide ban on smoking for employees, contractors and subcontractors in July. The policy went into effect for clients and visitors in October.
"It's health promotion in the purer sense," said Kristie Schmiege, director of prevention and health promotion for Community Mental Health in Genesee County.
People who need mental health treatment have a higher than average rate for smoking and substance abuse, so the policy assists those patients, Schmiege said.
The policy hasn't been in effect long enough to show possible savings, but there is evidence it could have an impact on insurance premiums, she said.
"There is always that dual purpose of improved health and if it does also help save financial resources, all the better," Schmiege said.

At what age do you think you'll be able to retire?
I don't think I'm going to be able to retire for a long, long time (I'm in my 40s now) unless I win the lottery or marry someone rich. lol
Guess I'd better go buy some Powerball tickets, huh?
Our plan is to quit our full time jobs at 45 and retire fully by 50 so far we are almost there even now
Well hopefully in maybe 45 years. But that may be just wishful thinking.
i retired at age 58 - and started collecting ss at age 62 - hub is 72 and still working "very, very part-time at the college - if they call, and he feels like going in, he goes, but he has the privilege of declining - best of both worlds -
well I have only worked for about 4yrs of my adult life and been a sahm for about 11yrs so I'm pretty much retired..lol.. I don't plan on getting a job anytime soon but mabe once my dd is older just to have something to do.

For a second year, NJ Transit has no plan to restore service to the 305 Liberty State Park Shuttle bus that ferried riders through the park.
The 305 began service in May 2000, making stops throughout the park, including the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail station, Liberty Science Center, and the park's ferry terminal. Without it, park visitors who don't drive are in for some mighty long walks.
NJ Transit cut the 305 and another shuttle bus last year to help close a $300 million budget gap. After complaints from the community, NJ Transit reinstated the Liberty Park shuttle on summer weekends, with financial help from Hudson County. There are no current plans to continue the weekend service.
At the April 28 Hudson County Board of Chosen Freeholders meeting, Friends of Liberty State Park President Sam Pesin urged the body to pressure NJ Transit to reinstate the shuttle bus.
The bus is essential for park visitors who take public transportation, Pesin said.
"NJ Transit is saying, if you don't have a car, forget about it, forget about coming to Liberty State Park," he said.
The freeholders unanimously approved a resolution on April 26 urging NJ Transit to reinstate the shuttle.
NJ Transit spokeswoman Courtney Carroll said in an email that NJ Transit is open to finding a solution.
"We would be happy to meet with all the stakeholders involved to discuss the various options that may be available to restore service," she said.

Nexans wins a 72.7 million euros high voltage cable contract in the Gulf
Nexans, the worldwide leader in the cable industry, has been awarded a 72.7 million euros contract by the Abu Dhabi Transmission and Despatch Company (TRANSCO) for a turnkey project to upgrade the high voltage underground power cable infrastructure in Abu Dhabi City, UAE.
The project for TRANSCO, a subsidiary of ADWEA (Abu Dhabi Water & Electricity Authority), will involve the design, manufacture, supply, installation and commissioning of approximately 210 km of 132 kV XLPE (cross linked polyethylene) underground power cables. Single-phase cables will have copper cross-sections of 800, 1000 and 1200 mm2.
"This latest contract for TRANSCO reinforces Nexans' position as a key supplier for high voltage power infrastructure projects in the Gulf region" says Dirk Steinbrink, Managing Director of Nexans Land High Voltage Business Group. "Our presence in Abu Dhabi goes back to the 70s, and we have recently completed two major projects for ADWEA including a 400 kV underground link and a 132 kV submarine link to Delma Island".
The TRANSCO cables will be manufactured at the Nexans facilities in Belgium and Switzerland and should be supplied and installed over an 18-month period, starting late 2010.
A key regional market
Nexans has always been active across the Middle East region in infrastructure, industry and building markets. Once again, today's contract illustrates the ever-growing presence of Nexans in the region. Recently awarded a 90 million euros contract in Dubai for its first 400 kV underground cable system, the Group has been supplying medium and high voltage cable for big utilities in Qatar, Dubai, and has been involved in major oil & gas projects with local and international operators, for years.
It is estimated that these markets will have a 7% to 8 % increase from 2011 as the governments have pledged to continue providing funds to infrastructure projects despite the current economic crisis.

Muslim daubs war memorial with 'Islam will dominate the world' - but walks free after CPS says he was NOT racially motivated The Daily Mail
A British Muslim has shown 'no remorse' after desecrating a town's war memorial with extremist Islamic slogans, a court has heard.
But the Crown Prosecution Service has decided that graffiti proclaiming future world domination for Islam, glorifying Osama Bin Laden and calling for the assassination of the British Prime Minister, 'was not religiously or racially motivated'.
Tohseef Shah, 21, admitted a charge of criminal damage to the memorial, outside Burton College in Burton on Trent, when he appeared at Burton Magistrates Court.
Islamic message: Tohseef Shah's graffiti 'Islam will dominate the world' was not religiously motivated, according to the Crown Prosecution Service
Shah admitted spraying the words 'Islam will dominate the world - Osama is on his way' and 'Kill Gordon Brown' on the plinth of the East Staffordshire Borough Council-owned memorial, on December 10 last year.

Oswego, NY -- As the Safe Haven Museum and Education Center remembers the Holocaust Sunday, it also is gearing up for another season with four new exhibits to be unveiled by the end of the year.
Kimberly Steele, vice president of the museum's board, said the museum is planning new exhibits on the music of Safe Haven; the Boy Scout troop, which flourished at Safe Haven; rotating exhibits in the first room, encouraging visitors to relate current events to Safe Haven; and a new research area in the back of the building.
Safe Haven honors the history of the European World War II refugees — most of them Jewish — who lived near Fort Ontario from 1944 to 1946.
Oswego was thrust onto the world stage 67 years ago, when British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt decided to open havens for Jewish refugees — people in Europe driven from their homes by the Nazi regime.
Britain opened four in the Middle East, France operated two in North Africa, and the United States one. The United States haven opened in August 1944 in Oswego, in buildings that housed a former Army training station next to Fort Ontario.
Many of those buildings today are gone, but some still exist, including the one where the Safe Haven Museum and Education Center now operates. Lois Reid, the museum's site administrator, said the museum building was the bakery when the refugee center was operating.
The museum opens for its summer season Memorial Day weekend. It is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday until Labor Day. Winter hours are 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Sunday.
Steele said the music and Boy Scout exhibits grew from a program and a photograph already at the museum.
"Two summers ago, Dr. (Marilynn) Smiley did a presentation here about the music of Safe Haven where she looked at some of the individual musicians, the operas that were created and songs written here," Steele said.
Smiley is a distinguished teaching professor at the State University College at Oswego where she teaches about music history and literature, and women and music.
A past recipient of the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching, Smiley gathered information on musicians — such as Charles Abeles, an Austrian composer, conductor and pianist; Leo Mirkovic, a Yugoslav singer; and Albert Schimel, an Austrian violinist — by researching Safe Haven records. These three men listed musician as their occupation when they entered Safe Haven.
Her research also showed there were many others with extensive musical backgrounds.
Steele said a number of people who had heard Smiley's presentation at Safe Haven July 26, 2009, asked if there could be a permanent exhibit on the music. She said Smiley is working on the exhibit along with some of her music students at Oswego State.
Steele and museum board member Judith Rapaport are working to secure grants that would pay for an audio component to the exhibit, so museum visitors could push buttons and hear the music and songs of Safe Haven.
The Boy Scout exhibit comes out of one simple photo hanging in the museum. Steele said it shows the Boy Scout troop that was founded for boys living at Safe Haven.
"I am going to approach the Boy Scouts to see if there is someone who perhaps would want to work on the exhibit, maybe as an Eagle Scout project or a troop project," Steele said. "We would like the exhibit to trace back how that (starting the troop) happened, how they got involved and what they did as Boy Scouts."
Steele said the museum has had more requests for research, so a back room is going to be equipped with computers and the appropriate software so people can study the Safe Haven story. She said this should be completed within a year. The museum is applying for a $2,000 to $3,000 grant to purchase the software, with hopes a volunteer with computer programming experience will set up the tool.
The museum's board also wants to have rotating exhibits in the outer room of the museum right inside the main door to show people how the story of Safe Haven still resonates in the world today.
Steele said while society has moved a long way forward in eliminating hatred and persecution, there still is a long way to go.
"We want to show a current event exhibit with a similar story of modern times," she said. "We could start with something like Bosnia and Chechnya and the mass persecution and mass graves. Or Rwanda or the Middle East."
"We can show that we really haven't learned from World War I and World War II," she said. "It's always the same story, just different times."

Abstract: In the title compound, C16H16Cl2N4, the imidazole ring mean plane makes a dihedral angle of 70.01 (1)° with the phenyl ring. The Cl atoms deviate by -0.0472 (6) and 0.0245 (8) Å from the plane of their attached benzene ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked via pairs of C-HN hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers.

Trike Patrol has the full image set along with the accompanying hardcore video of these two Asian lesbian sluts eating each others pussy and fingering their Asian twats. The one girl has a bit of a nice ass for an Asian girl, unusual especially on a Filipino slut. I haven`t watched the video yet to know but if I was her partner I would eat that Asian ass out.

Agreeing on a Birth Plan
My partner wants a hospital birth complete with an OB/GYN. My preference is a home birth with a midwife but I was willing to compromise on using a birth center. He's not budging.
What are some ways that I can help him move away from this sterile birth experience to one that I'm more comfortable with other than just telling him "I'm not doing it!" and creating another war?
I get that is how his sisters and friends' wives delivered but this is MY birth experience, too!

Auburn Athletics Director Jay Jacobs said Tuesday night a morning meeting with coach Tommy Tuberville went well and that more meetings are planned ``over the next couple of days.''
Tuberville and Jacobs are meeting to determine the direction of the football program after this season's disapointing 5-7 record. When asked if he'd like to solve the issue this week, Jacobs said, ``Yes, I'd like it to be.''
Tuberville and Jacobs are talking as part of their annual post-season review, a meeting heightened by Auburn's disappointing season. Tuberville laid out his plan to turn the program around in the meeting.

Courtesy JSU sports information
NASHVILLE - The Jacksonville State men's basketball team rallied to overcome an 11-point deficit at Tennessee State on Thursday, but the Tigers held off for a 66-60 Ohio Valley Conference win.
The Gamecocks (12-6, 4-3 OVC) trailed by as many as eight in the final eight minutes but rallied to pull within as little as a point in the final minutes. The Tigers (12-7, 6-0 OVC) kept holding off JSU, who got to within a basket five times in the game's final six minutes, and escaped the Gentry Center with their seventh-straight win and grabbed their OVC-leading sixth league win.
Down by 11 at the break, JSU put together quite the second half against the league's hottest team. The Gamecocks blistered the nets to the tune of a 65 percent shooting percentage, including a 43 percent effort from 3-point land, but it would be TSU that made the biggest play when the game was on the line.
Leading by two with less than a minute to play, guard Patrick Miller drove as the shot clock expired before kicking to an open Deshawn Dockery. His first basket of the game fell from the left wing with 13 ticks on the game clock and propelled the Tigers the win.
Three Gamecocks scored in double figures, led by senior Ronnie Boggs' 17, 11 of which came in the second half. Fellow senior Tarvin Gaines also turned it up in the second half, when he scored 12 of his 14 points. Junior Brian Williams scored 10 points in the loss for JSU, who finishes a three-game OVC road swing with a 2-1 record.
Miller and Kellen Thornton each scored 17 points to lead the Tigers, while M.J. Rhett led all players with 10 rebounds. TSU won the battle of the boards, 30-22, and grabbed nine of the game's final 12 rebounds.
The Gamecocks used some early Tennessee State miscues to build an early four-point lead, but the Tigers started going inside to their bigs and it paid off. They rattled off an 8-2 run that turned a two-point JSU lead into a 21-17 lead of their own.
The Tigers continued to move the basketball to create opportunities, getting 12 points in the paint, 12 from behind the 3-point line and seven from the charity stripe to take a 33-22 lead into the locker room in the half.
The Gamecocks scored the first two buckets of the second half and then put together a little run to get back in it. After The Tigers built a 38-29 lead just four minutes into the half, JSU rattled off an 11-2 run that tied it at 40-40. TSU answered with a Miller basket, but Giovanni Smith's second field goal of the season was true and gave the Gamecocks their first lead since early in the first half at 43-42.
TSU scored the next five to spark an 11-2 run of its own to reclaim control with a 53-45 advantage with just over eight minutes remaining. JSU took its swing from there, scoring six in a row to pull back to within two at 53-51 with just over six minutes to play.
The two would exchange blows before a Boggs trey with 3:20 on the clock got his team within a point at 59-58, but Thornton knocked down his second 3 pointer of the game as the shot clock expired on the other end to stretch the Tigers' lead back to four.
Gaines cut that deficit in half with just under two minutes on the clock with a basket in the lane, and then a JSU stop set up a shot at a tie with under a minute to play. Williams put up a runner from the right baseline that was short, giving the Tigers the ball back.
Miller let the shot clock run down before driving the right side of the lane and kicking it out to a waiting Dockery. The junior knocked down the 3-pointer from the left wing with 13 ticks on the clock to put the dagger in JSU's hearts.
The Gamecocks return home, where they will host Eastern Kentucky at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. The game will be televised live on Fox Sports South, and tickets will be just $1. Children 18 and under get in free.

I have the darndest things happen to me. I'll give you another example. I was thinking about what I wanted to write in my New Year's column. I had a September issue of a magazine on my coffee table. Yesterday I decided to open it and there on the top of the page in huge letters read "Major in Making a Difference!" Great! What a message to give to our readers! Just perfect for the New Year. This is another way of making new resolutions.
From time to time we talk about one person changing our lives. Sometimes it just changed a bad mood into a chuckle. We have to learn to laugh at ourselves. A friend asked me if I was going to trip the light fantastic for New Year's Eve. I said, "No, I can still trip, but not lightly or fantastically!"
Let's take another look at the words at the top of the page. The first word is "major." When we pick out a major in high school it's a topic we want to spend time on. It's a big topic; it gives our lives direction. It's going to have a big impact on my life; it's going to enrich my life.
Now let's take a look at how this new pattern is going to change my life. Let's say my major change is going to be doing as many good deeds daily as I can. How am I going to make these good deeds happen? I would start with prayer morning and night. I'd pray for opportunities to serve, the wisdom to see these opportunities and the courage to act on them. In other words - follow through. How many times do we start something and don't follow through to finish it? We can do better if we have a better mindset.
Do you remember I said to you that when I saw something positive (a compliment) I was going to tell that person what I saw when I looked at her. I said "her" because I hesitate to compliment men although at my age I should be safe. Recently, I said to two men that I love to see them with their wives. They are so attentive and caring. I notice that in church during the message each has his arm across his wife's shoulders. Men - just remember that tenderness is manly! Don't hide it.
Sunday in church there was a new couple signing the guest book. He was so tall and she had beautiful long, curly eyelashes. I couldn't pass that up! Those compliments opened up a conversation. There's something special about every person, even if it's just a smile or a laugh or a wink. Let's try new things. Let's get involved more. Just remember if you do things for the right reasons, like yourself even if the outcome isn't what you expected.
I notice in our local paper there are so many nice things being done for people who have needs. The good deeds are being done by children of all ages to adults who are senior citizens. It's beautiful! Organizations get involved; churches help out. We live in a good area and we can always do more especially when I think of all the people who won't be getting unemployment checks now.
I think I'll have to open up my dinners again but I'm warning you now - I'll put you to work! I can't do all the things I used to do. Let's remember people have to eat every day. You don't have to provide a gourmet dinner. I remember on Fridays we used to have lentils with macaroni and chocolate cake for dessert. It still sounds good to me.
Or maybe we can find groceries for them. We used to say if you have bread, potatoes, milk and macaroni, you won't starve. Did you notice I said, "Lentils with macaroni?" We also had soup and spaghetti sauce with macaroni. Maybe some of you will share some inexpensive recipes with us. We can make this fun! Each of us can be a cheerleader, but don't expect me to jump! Happy New Year!
P.S. - I just have to add this additional information because it's too good not to share. I love to give to this organization because they are so good! I'm talking about St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Do you know it takes $1.8 million a day to operate this hospital and they do it all on donations? No patient ever gets a bill from the hospital! This information does my heart good! Now I'm not a Catholic, but I gladly give to this organization because I believe in what they are doing.
I don't believe in labels. I believe in doing. Jesus didn't die just for the Jews. He died for all believers who would accept his sacrifice. I believe in the sacrifices St. Jude's Hospital is making to cure the cancer patients. Their record of successful treatments is getting better and better. St. Jude's is like Lives Under Construction Boys Ranch. That one is independent too - one deals with life and the other deals with living. I admire both so much!
One of my New Year's resolutions is - if it's good, I want to be a part of it. How does that sound to you? There's so much good around us!

This week in history - from The Marysville Globe archives
10 years ago 1997
Joe Camel is having a bad day. Washington Attorney General Christine Gregoire led successful efforts to force tobacco companies to change marketing tactics and pay states for the health care costs of smoking diseases. At the urging of City Council member Donna Wright, city staff is exploring ways to further keep Marysville teenagers from smoking and chewing. Until recently, efforts have been directed at those who sell tobacco products to teens. Most stores now require tobacco buyers to prove they are 18 years old and the state works at ensuring clerks ask for identification. State law prohibits selling tobacco to anyone under 18. Wright attended meetings of a local anti-smoking organization and learned about efforts by the county and other cities in the region to curtail teenage smoking. The cool kids [are] going in and telling the younger kids about the dangers of smoking, said Bob Conroy of Tobacco Free Washington. Conroy also works for the Snohomish County Health District who sends underage people to try to buy cigarettes to ensure teenagers arent able to buy tobacco products. There are no state laws addressing teen smoking itself, said Grant Weed, Marysville city attorney. Cities can pass their own laws, he said, and his staff has been collecting information from around the state. Conroy said police can stop smokers long enough to get their age and can confiscate cigarettes. He said some cities are fining underage smokers. Meanwhile, Joe Camel and the Marlboro Man are the targets. Council member Donna Pedersen, who sits on the county health board, said officials in King County have convinced a major billboard company to pull all tobacco advertising by the end of the year. Snohomish County also petitioned AK Media to remove all tobacco billboards from unincorporated areas. Pedersen urged the City Council to write a similar letter or to take action. Snohomish County has significantly higher numbers of smokers than the state and the nation. Twenty-five percent of country residents are smokers, according to the 1995 Snohomish County Health Report. The rate for Washington is 21.8 percent and the nation is 22.5 percent. Conroy said 1,800 teens start smoking every month in Washington. One in eight high school students smokes at least five cigarettes per day, according to the state Survey of Adolescent Health Behavior.
25 years ago 1982
Home brew talent Jim Cull is coming of age with a powerful new voice and an engaging beat reminiscent of Elvis Presley. The 20-year-old Cull, a 1980 graduate of Marysville-Pilchuck High School, recently cut his first record original compositions for his very first single. KKRO told me theyd be playing it when it comes out, said the energetic but soft-spoken Cull. The single has been in the planning stages for several months, but local music lovers already have had a chance to hear and see the noteworthy talents and vibrant charm of this newcomer to the stage. Six years of drama under M-PHS instructor Dick Dale have helped prepare him for the public eye, but that was just a beginning for Cull who first discovered the magnetic strains of Elvis back when Cull was still in kindergarten. Presley, who died five years ago on Aug. 16, still is a big part of Culls life and music, but as he says, I dont imitate him like all those Elvis Presley look-alikes. I respect his music and I respect the fact Im different. To do any more make myself out like Im Elvis is showing disrespect for the man and his music. There is only one Elvis. Cull, whose acts generally are made up of country rock, Elvis and 50s music, with lost of good-time fun, allow the Elvis image to carry over into the stage clothes he will wear. Yea, Ill dress the part, Cull said of his colorful sequined jumpsuits which give room for maneuverability. But I dont make any attempt to slick back my hair, or darken it like Elvis. I have sandy-brown hair and thats the way its going to stay; and I have a moustache. Before he was old enough to even think of school, Cull remembers teaming up with his grandmother for his first serious venture into the world of music. Grandma played the piano, and I would sing Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, he recalled. I started collecting Elvis records when I was in kindergarten. Working closely with father and manager Jim Cull Sr., he came up with a slate of shows which took him to a variety of places such as the Stanwood American Legion, Marysvilles Moose Lodge and the Eagles in Everett. I never really had trouble facing crowds of people, but I was really nervous that day, Cull recalled. I get a high when Im on stage, but I was scared to death. There must have been 12,000 people out there, all looking at me. All it took was to sing that first song; then everything was great. Cull may not have invented the act of table walking, but hes one of the few performers in North America who does it. The first night I ever did it table dancing I ended up spilling four drinks, he said. The customers didnt mind. They all got free refills. I dont do that anymore, I think that was the last time I spilled anything. But, Ive had practice now. An average customer may look up from his table and not find Cull anywhere in sight on stage, but the music and words of another Elvis Presley song are coming through loud and clear. Suddenly, right before his very eyes, on that same table top, Cull could be keeping time with deftly placed feet, the beat mirrored in the tiny ripples in each drinking glass. This cordless mic is great, he said. Now, my manager no longer has to follow me around to make sure we dont get tangled up. Everybody has a good time. Thats what I like to see. I know some of them thought the act was a little strange at first. But it didnt take long to find out what I was all about. I want to see people having a good time. That makes me feel good to see other people feeling good.
50 years ago 1957
After a study of nine different bids, members of the Marysville City Council decided Monday evening to purchase its first garbage truck from Transport Trailer and Equipment Co. of Seattle at a price of $11,075. The new truck will have a Daybrook Power Packer mounted on an International truck chassis. Council members and city employees had been witnessing demonstrations during the week of various types of packers and their mechanical features. During the evening the Council adopted Ordinance 436, which sets up a municipal department to handle the garbage collection business in Marysville. The Garbage and Refuse Department was formed as well as the Garbage Disposal Fund. Generally the operation of the department will provide the same service as now provided to businesses and residents. A rate structure will be set up in a separate ordinance. The new department will start functioning Jan. 1, 1958. Arrangements are soon to be completed with the city of Everett to use that citys garbage dump for disposal. George Gebert, Everett Councilman, was present at the Monday meeting to discuss details. A rate of $50 per month plus $1 per load was agreed upon. It was estimated the monthly cost to Marysville will be from $75 to $85 for the accommodation.

Public intoxication. Urinating. Vomiting. Screaming and loud music in the middle of the night. Suspicious exchanges that appear to be drug deals. Panhandling. Rummaging through garbage cans.
It's not a pretty picture.
This is a partial list of the complaints of homeowners on Brighton Avenue and Silver Lake Road who live close to the Lakeside Manor Home for Adults.
The five-story, 200-bed facility operates in the Brighton Heights neighborhood of Staten Island as a private business, with a license from the state Health Department. Its chief executive officer, named in public records, is Sander Lustig. Neighborhood residents have found him and his staff consistently unresponsive to their concerns.
Those neighbors, in interviews with the Advance, place blame for the declining state of their blocks squarely on Lakeside Manor.
"I've seen residents of the home walk up and down the block, yelling and cursing loudly at no one in particular," said Jerri Laub, a nurse who has lived on Brighton Avenue since 1984 with her husband, Jim. "Others have vomited on the street, and on the sidewalk in front of my house. It's disgusting, and I've gone out and cleaned it up.
"They've urinated in front of our house," said Jim Laub, 53, noting that his next-door neighbors have three young children.
Another longtime homeowner on Silver Lake Road described a dazed Lakeside Manor resident going down the block and drinking any liquids that remain in containers in residents' garbage pails. On a separate occasion, she saw a man injecting himself with a needle on someone's lawn.
There are 383 licensed adult homes in New York State, and five of them are on Staten Island, according to the state Health Department. These facilities provide "long-term residential care, room, board, housekeeping, personal care and supervision" to adults "who are substantially unable to live independently," the agency says.
Residents live on Supplemental Security Income "personal needs allowances" of less than $200 a month, after operators subtract the cost of room, board and other services.
On a rainy October afternoon, eight men sat huddled together, quietly smoking cigarettes under a small green awning that overlooks Lakeside Manor's large, bleak corner yard.
Weather permitting, this outdoor space is where some residents of the home spend hours, with nothing to do but smoke. "They sit and they sit," said Louis Siani, 82, who lives up the street. One resident of Lakeside Manor explained why.
Loud noise from the "smoking yard" in the middle of the night is a constant problem, and Lakeside Manor's staff is uncooperative when complaints come in, neighbors say.
Heather Miller, 32, and her husband Marc, 31, live across the street from the yard, in a home on Silver Lake Road that they purchased in 2006.
Heather Miller started calling Lustig, the Lakeside Manor CEO, on Oct. 3, leaving repeated messages. He did not return her calls until 20 days later, she said. "If he was open to communication with the community, he would have contacted me sooner," she commented.
An Advance reporter has also left repeated messages for Mr. Lustig, and apparent day-time administrator Avi Lustig, seeking comment for this story. All of the messages have gone unanswered.
Other homeowners have had similar experiences. Staff members routinely refuse to identify themselves by name and tell callers to phone 911.
Joseph Carroll, district manger of Community Board 1, described Lakeside Manor's response to homeowners' complaints as an "anomaly" that "has to be fixed." He pointed out that other North Shore institutions have worked out ways to address urgent calls from local residents.
"There should be a point of contact, and it must go beyond the front desk," he said. "There should always be someone there -- by title, name, or discreet phone number -- who can respond."
Heather Miller has done her best to challenge Lakeside Manor's lax approach. She has recently contacted public officials, submitted detailed grievances to Community Board 1, and filed a formal complaint with the state's Department of Health.
"The owners should be held accountable for supervision -- the behavior of their residents affect our quality of life. You keep hoping that someone will actually listen and care," she said.
"We chose Silver Lake to buy our first home because of the schools, the shopping, the park. We are trying to put down roots here, but it's not working out," said Mrs. Miller, who was born and raised in Pennsylvania.
