By Tom Philpott: Military Update
Veterans and service members eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill already have an outstanding education benefit. But it soon could become even more valuable and easier to use.
The Senate Veterans Affairs Committee on Tuesday released details of the GI Bill reform package it approved two weeks ago. It includes almost every change sought by veterans' service organizations, institutes of higher learning, trade unions, vocational schools and VA administrators.
The only two key elements missing are an estimate from the Congressional Budget Office on what these reforms will cost, and a plan to pay for them as worries over deficit spending mounts in Washington D.C.
The Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Improvements Act of 2010 (S 3447) would expand education options beyond the pursuit of a college degree and into almost any type of training a veteran might want.
At the same time, S 3447 would enhance and simplify the payment formula, ease confusion for students and pare administrative headaches for schools. The new GI Bill also would be opened to at least 80,000 National Guard members mobilized since 9-11 who previously were denied coverage.
And its monthly living allowance would be used in a special way to support enrollment in apprenticeships and on-the-job training programs. These are just some of the highlights. Sen. Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii), committee chairman, is leading the reform effort and drawing bipartisan support. The CBO cost estimate should be known before Congress returns in September when attention will turn to finding ways to pay for the bill.
Rep. Walter Minnick (D-Idaho) has introduced a near identical bill in the House (HR 5933). Among its early co-sponsors is Rep. Bob Filner (D-Calif.), chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee. His committee plans its own hearing on GI Bill reform Sept. 16, a move that raises hope among veterans' groups and educators that a final bill could be passed this year, even with elections in November and a lameduck Congress thereafter.
At the Senate's GI Bill reform hearing in July, senior officials with the departments of Veterans Affairs and Defense expressed support for most changes in Akaka's bill. But at the urging of VA officials most provisions wouldn't take effect until Aug. 1, 2011, to allow sufficient time to implement.
Sen. Richard Burr (N.C.), ranking Republican on the committee, made clear in July he was miffed at Akaka for introducing S 3447 alone, in May, after calling in April for bipartisan cooperation on GI Bill reform. At the markup hearing Aug. 5, however, Burr praised the bill and the many changes Akaka accepted on feedback from veteran groups, educators and colleagues.
The bill, Burr said, "would help create a program that will be fair and generous, no matter where a veteran lives or chooses to go to school." By covering vocational training, it "would allow more veterans and their families to pursue educational programs that best meet their needs."

Have you read any of the books written by John Voelker? This gentleman was once a Supreme Court Justice of the State of Michigan. If not his book, perhaps you are familiar with his short essay, "Testament of Fisherman." In all of his writings, he used the pen name Robert Traver. He burst onto the national scene when in 1958 he wrote the novel "Anatomy of a Murder." The book attracted the attention of Hollywood. It was made into a movie starring Jimmy Stewart and Lee Remick. The financial success of the book allowed Judge Voelker, late in life, to devote himself to writing and fly fishing. His favorite fishing place was located on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. His name for this secret spot was Frenchman's Pond. The pond and the rickety old cabin that sat beside it were made famous through his books, titled "Trout Madness," "Trout Magic" and "Anatomy of a Fisherman." He often wrote of "the pleasure of sipping bourbon out of an old tin cup." I own his three fishing books, and they are great reading material. His short essay, "Testament of a Fisherman," begins with the line, "I fish because I love to; because the environs where trout are found, are invariably beautiful; and hate the environs where crowds of people are found, which are invariably ugly." In a one-minute reading, he sums up why fishing is such an attractive sport. Charles Kuralt, famous for his commentaries on radio and television once described Judge Voelker as, "the greatest man he had ever interviewed." Kuralt, himself, was an expert fly fisher.
Our stay in Texas has proved to be longer than expected. First, we were here for our grandson's high school graduation. Now it is the ongoing efforts by the oncologist to stabilize the way Barbara's blood reacts to the medications she takes for her chronic myeloid leukemia. Over time, both of us had developed a bad case of Fishitis. The only cure for this particular malady is to go fishing. This prompted us to seek out our own Frenchman's Pond. We did find one. It is a small pond only 25 minutes east of Trophy Club, TX. It is known that Judge Voelker's pond contained mostly small brook trout. Similarly, our pond's largemouth bass and brim are not exactly tackle busters. Even so, on a two-weight eight-foot, eight-inch Winston graphite rod, the bass and the brim are capable of putting a pretty bend in the rod.
You will not find this Winston rod in any catalog. In 1993, their rods were made for the Japanese market. They sold poorly in Japan. Winston allowed them to be returned and then distributed them to selected Winston dealers. Joe McFadden's shop in Hankins, NY received two of these rods. Barbara and I liked them so much we bought both of them. This is a perfect rod for our Frenchman's Pond.
When we fish there, we share the rod. One of us will fish, while the other sits and rests. After either a missed strike or a captured fish, the sitter becomes the fisher while the fisher sits. Occasionally our pond surprises us. One evening last week, right at dusk, it became Barb's turn to fish. The fly in use was a yellow, size-12 deer-hair popper. The design of the bug has long been credited to H.G. Tapply. For 35 years, Tapply wrote a column for Field and Stream titled "Taps Tips." In the 1995 January-February issue of American Angler magazine, the derivation of "Taps Bug" was thoroughly described. The article states, "For more than half a century, 'Taps Bus' has been used to fool bass and other fishes."
In the fading light, Barb cast the little bug out onto the stillness of the pond. She then made a short strip with the fly line, causing the bug to make a little "pop." The ripples this caused gradually faded away. Unknown to her, a bass attracted by the "pop" was now watching the bug intently. Aha, here were two predators, their muscles tense with anticipation, about to be entwined. Barb raised the rod tip slightly, causing the bug to jiggle producing a tiny ripple. The bug disappeared. The two were now joined, one in fear, the other in exhilaration. The lithe rod became bent in a tight arc. Moments later, I took Barbara's picture holding the largest bass our pond has produced. Ah, that little jiggle. At 83 years of age, she still has the fishing touch of a Great Blue Heron.

Driver survives 80 mph Amtrak crash
Police say Virginia man tried to drive around crossing bar
Published On: Dec 12 2013 04:30:47 PM CST Updated On: Dec 13 2013 03:26:32 PM CST
A Virginia man is lucky to be alive after an Amtrak train traveling nearly 80 mph hit his car as he drove over the tracks.
Untron Drew ignored warning lights and tried to drive around a crossing bar when his 2000 Ford Crown Victoria was hit Thursday morning in Waverly.
He was flown to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Virginia State Police spokeswoman Sgt. Michelle Anaya said.
Alcohol was believed to be a factor in the crash, she said.
The train was traveling from Norfolk to Boston at the time.
None of the 46 passengers on board were injured, Amtrak spokeswoman Christina Leeds said.

Birds of a feather
On Sunday, I was thrilled to spot the first robins in the yard. Crowing with delight, I made a mental note to pick up a bird feeder while out and about and pecked at my breakfast while soothing the pup, deciding that she should stay home, rather than accompany me to "Little Sparrow and the Eagles" at the DVAA's Tusten Theatre. The band (www.facebook.com/pages/Little-Sparrow) was in fine form (as always) warming up the sold-out crowd that had swarmed to Narrowsburg to hear lead vocalist Carol Smith join newly affianced Aldo Troiani, fiddler Lynn Reno and fellow musicians Fred Scholl and Lester Wilson deliver their toe tapping mix of bluegrass, '60s rock and Americana that never fails to please. Following Little Sparrow can be intimidating, but not for the likes of the Delaware Valley Raptor Center's Bill Streeter, (www.dvrconline.org) whose live birds of prey demonstration and lecture were so captivating, fascinating, informative and entertaining, that I momentarily forgot that I'm terrified of birds. With more than 30 years of expertise, Streeter provides an amazing up-close and personal opportunity for his audience to learn about preservation, protection and rehabilitation of the majestic falcons, owls and eagles that grace the river region, thanks to the efforts of organizations like the DVRC. "New York is a major hawk flyway" Streeter reported, while handling a red-tail and explaining their habitat, history and factoids regarding mating habits and astounding abilities to hunt and fish in their environment. While the birds that Streeter has rescued (with the help of others) have been given sweet names, he is careful to instill a healthy respect for the magnificent creatures, while simultaneously entertaining kids and adults with cautionary tales about how society has impacted their environment. Like so many others, I was awed by the birds and learned a great deal, grateful for the experience, but still determined to keep my distance while attempting to capture their beauty with the camera. On my way home, I spotted two stunning bald eagles in flight over the Delaware, and my heart soared. Who gives a hoot? I do.

US stocks close higher for third day in a rowBy ALEX VEIGA
the associated press | April 17,2014ap file photo
Specialists Frank Masello, left, and John T. OHara work on the trading floor of the New York Stock Exchange in New York shortly before the closing bell.Investors drove stock prices to their highest level in a week Wednesday, encouraged by a crop of corporate earnings and reassuring U.S. and Chinese economic data.
Major U.S. stock indexes notched their third day of gains in a row. Yahoo and Delta Air Lines were among the companies posting big gains. The gains were broad; for every stock that declined, nearly four rose.
The market is coming back from a steep drop at the end of last week led by Internet and biotechnology stocks. That move away from some of the riskier, high-priced stocks that drove down the market is nearly, if not completely done now, said Jim Russell, senior equity strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management.
We did think that last weeks downside volatility would be limited, and were very heartened to see a rebound for the first three days this week, he said.
Stocks started climbing from the opening bell on Wednesday as investors cheered the latest quarterly earnings report from Yahoo. The Web pioneer reported late Tuesday that it is making most of its money from its stakes in two Asian Internet companies: Chinas Alibaba Group and Yahoo Japan.
The market also welcomed a Chinese government report showing that the worlds second-largest economy grew 7.4 percent from a year earlier in the January-March quarter. A favorable report on U.S. factory production helped keep investors in a buying mood.
Unlike Monday and Tuesday, the rally didnt falter during the day. Instead, the buying gained momentum in the afternoon after the Federal Reserve said its latest survey showed economic growth picking up across most of the U.S. over the past two months as bitter winter weather subsided.
Yesterday was just a crazy day. We were all over the map, and finally today we are showing some strength, said Erik Davidson, deputy chief investment officer of Wells Fargo Private Bank.
All told, the Standard & Poors 500 index rose 19.33 points, or 1.1 percent, to 1,862.31. All ten industry sectors in the S&P 500 increased, led by industrial stocks, including several airlines and transportation companies.
The Dow Jones industrial average added 162.29 points, or 1 percent, to 16,424.85. The Nasdaq composite rose 52.06 points, or 1.3 percent, to 4,086.22.
The three major stock indexes are each up for the week, but remain down for the month after several days of choppy trading. The three-day rise in stock prices helped push the S&P 500 index up 0.8 percent so far this year.
Investors are closely monitoring company earnings this week as they try to assess whether the impact of a severe winter has begun to ease. Financial analysts expect first-quarter earnings for companies the S&P 500 to fall about 1.2 percent, according to S&P Capital IQ.
Its not like things are all hunky-dory with the economy, with profits, with revenue, and yet we keep clearing relatively low bars, Davidson said.
Google and IBM fell sharply in after-hours trading after their quarterly results disappointed investors.
Googles newly issued Class C stock fell $32.54, or 6 percent, to $524 after the company reported that its growth faltered as online advertising prices continued to fall. IBMs stock fell $7.45, or 4 percent, to $189 after reporting that its revenue fell from a year ago and came in below what analysts were expecting.
Technology stocks have come under selling pressure in recent weeks as investors question whether the sector has become too expensive. Even after a recent sell-off that brought the tech-heavy Nasdaq composite 6 percent below its recent peak reached Mar. 5, the index is still up 25 percent over the past year, versus 18 percent for the S&P 500.
Yahoo topped the gainers in the S&P 500. The stock jumped $2.14, or 6.3 percent, to $36.35.
Several airline stocks were also among the markets big risers: Delta Air Lines added $1.71, or 5.4 percent, to $33.62, while JetBlue rose 49 cents, or 6 percent, to $8.80. American Airlines rose $1.79, or 5.3 percent, to $35.51.
Among other the stocks making news Wednesday:
Bank of America fell 2 percent after booking $6 billion in legal costs over its home loan practices. The stock fell 26 cents to $16.13.
CSX fell 50 cents, or 1.8 percent, to $27.79. Severe winter weather contributed to a 14 percent drop in the railroad companys first-quarter earnings.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight.

The organization that has been responsible for promoting tourism in Sullivan County for the past decade will retain that responsibility at least through 2013. The legislature voted seven to two to award the contract to the Sullivan County Visitors Association (SCVA) rather than the new company that sought to fill the role, Sullivan County Tourism and Promotion (SCTP).
Along with the contract comes about $476, 000 in revenue from the county bed tax. In a lengthy presentation before the vote, Roberta Lockwood, president of SCVA, said she expected the organization's total income for 2013 would be about $1.1 million, because she could leverage the bed-tax revenue to bring in additional funds from outside sources.
Richard Altman, CEO of SCTP, told reporters the figure he had given the legislature for total income was $650,000. Lawmaker Alan Sorensen expressed concern that because SCTP was a new organization and had no track record that it might be difficult for it to secure grant money from Albany and elsewhere.
Another big difference between the two organizations involved the issue of membership. SCVA has about 300 members who pay dues averaging about $100 per year, and member votes determine the make-up of the board of directors. Altman said that if his organization won the contract, it would have no members.
Lawmaker Gene Benson expressed support for this model because he said the organization who promotes tourism for the county should work for all of the people, not just the members of the organization. That prompted a response from Terri Ward, president and CEO of the Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce, which is a membership organization, who said, "Everything that we do benefits all the businesses in the county, and you can't punish an organization for wanting to bring in extra money from volunteers who are willing to support them because they're doing a good job."
About a dozen members of SCVA spoke during public comment about the benefits of SCVA, including potter Carolyn Duke, who explained in 2003 about 10 local potters went to SCVA and created the pottery trail map. She said, "SCVA helped us learn how to market our business and how to extend ourselves out into the county and out into the state."
It was unclear if SCTP had won the contract the organization would have kept the program that creates such things as the antiques trail map and the yearly literature exchange many of the tourism businesses in the county. When discussing the future of tourism, Altman said the second-homeowner market and agri-tourism were important, and he added that the second vote of the legislature regarding the legalization of gambling in the state was also important because that could lead to casinos coming to the county.
Before the vote, Benson said he could not support SCVA because "I still haven't gotten answers to all my questions, and I don't think we should be dictated to by 25 or 30 people as to how we should run our tourism or as to how we should run anything."
Lawmaker Kathy LaBuda said she thought the request for proposal process was a good one, and that contracts with all of the outside agencies would be scrutinized because of the economic conditions in county, in which a double-digit tax increase is likely coming.
Scott Samuelson, the chair of the legislature, said that he still had concerns with SCVA, but that after seeing presentations from both organizations, SCVA was the better choice for the county.

The fourth in a seasonal series of short entries featuring snow.
Today's subject is Charles Tunnicliffe; Etcher, engraver and painter, whose principal subject was bird life and the natural countryside.
"Company of Whitethroats" ( Please click these images to enlarge them ).
Charles Tunnicliffe RA OBE
1901 – 1979
Charles Tunnicliffe was born in Macclesfield, Cheshire. Known primarily for his depiction of birds and other wildlife, notably illustrations for Tarka the Otter. He is widely regarded as the greatest UK wildlife artist in modern times.
After studying at the Macclesfield and Manchester Schools of Art he won a scholarship to the Royal College of Art in London, gaining his teaching diploma and a further scholarship to study in the RCA's new Etching and Engraving School. He stayed on in London to develop a career as an etcher and engraver, producing some of his finest etchings during this time. In 1928 he returned to Macclesfield, earning a living mainly from commercial artwork, much of it for the farming industry.
He was elected A.R.E. in 1929 and R.E. in 1934.
He was a regular contributor to the Royal Academy and was elected as an associate in 1944, becoming a Royal Academician in 1954.Sir Kyffin Williams encouraged Charles to show his personal reference collection of measured drawings at the R.A. in 1974 – the exhibition was a great success.
Tunnicliffe moved from Cheshire to Anglesey in 1947 where he lived until his death in 1979. He believed strongly in observing and sketching direct from nature, especially around Cob Lake, the Cefni Estuary, South Stack Cliffs, Llyn Coron, Aberfraw, Cemlyn, then when back at Shorelands spending many hours creating a superb set of sketchbooks full of accurate and colourful 'memory drawings'.
These sketchbooks are works of art in themselves and are now kept as part of the Tunnicliffe Collection at Oriel Ynys Môn, along with his measured drawings and other examples of his work – including original wood engraving blocks, etchings, watercolours, oil paintings, pencil drawings, scraperboards and book illustrations.
The RSPB awarded him its Gold Medal in 1975 and he was also honoured with an OBE in 1978.
His work hangs in numerous public galleries, while in Macclesfield's West Bank Museum a room has been dedicated to his work. A Charles Tunnicliffe Society exists to maintain his legacy

Tunnicliffe illustrated many of the Ladybird series of childrens books, which sold in millions.
Here are some links to sites with numerous pictures by Tunnicliffe:
1) http://www.museumsyndicate.com/artist.php?artist=639
2) http://artmight.com/gallery/search/%28keyword%29/Charles+Tunnicliffe
and 3) The Charles Tunnicliffe society website:
A well meaning website that reflects many aspects of Tunnicliffe's output, but small, postage stamp size images, daft (but futile) impediments to right clicking and yellow backgrounds. Yes. An artist's homage site with YELLOW backgrounds.
What I find especially galling, given Tunnicliffe's mastery of so many graphic arts, is the use of COMIC SANS for all the text. Pur-lease!

Hi ladies
I'm pretty new to this forum, so I hope I'm doing it right.
Anyway, I'd really appreciate your advice. After some weeks of pain and difficulty, my 8.5 week old LO finally had his 80% tie snipped on Thursday evening. He was a very sad baby for a few hours afterwards and my main concern was comforting him and letting him get food in any which way. Over the weekend his tongue's started to heal and there are no signs he's in any pain or trauma, so I'd really like to start improving his feeding since it's getting, if anything, even more painful for me.
Although he can now move his tongue pretty well and we're doing the exercises the IBCLC recommended, when it comes to latching on his mouth goes small and he ends up not taking in enough breast, and clampingon with his gums (ie his tongue doesn't come forward). Then he just squeezes the milk out by biting with his gums - as you can imagine this is pretty ouchy.
Obviously he's had nearly 9 weeks of a dodgy latch, but can you help me with any suggestions about how to get him used to using his mouth differently?
Thank you in advance

Many Bee Countians certainly hope so.
For several weeks, county offices have been plagued with telephone problems.
Disconnects and garbled audio were some of the woes mentioned as county officials wrestled with the new system that did not allow incoming or outgoing calls.
And that's not to mention the reception from irate county residents.
As one county official, Zenaida Silva, pleading for a solution, pointed out at a recent Commissioners Court meeting, "It is a very trying time for us. It is really very stressful with people cussing you out... and telling you, 'How come you don't answer your phone? Don't you work?'"
Perhaps the signal is becoming clearer now, though.
At this week's continued court meeting, commissioners made the decision to have Time Warner install a fiber optic line to handle the county's digital phone system.
It's an expensive option: the county signed a new contract for $850 a month for the next five years – or about $50,000. However, Time Warner agreed to waive the $40,000 installation fee.
Yet, the cost of doing nothing, cutting corners or trying to get by with the present cable lines at the courthouse was out of the equation.
The commissioners found themselves in an uncomfortable place – caught in the middle between competing digital companies and IT directors, trying to make sense of the technological problems they faced.
As one audience member opined: "The bottom line is we don't want to point fingers. We just want to get things fixed."
We can all agree with that assessment. Hopefully, Tuesday's decision will start fixing this conundrum.
Now perhaps the county can turn its attention to more important matters, like the slow, monotone voice listing all the county offices in order to direct our call...

Odo falls for a mysterious woman who is targeted for murder.
Summary Edit
An Idanian in his quarters is visited by two unfriendly Finneans. The short discussion ends up in the death of the Idanian. The two mention an object they were looking for and a woman the dead Idanian was supposed to meet on the station.
In Quark's Jadzia Dax, Bashir, Odo and O'Brien talk about a new role playing holoprogram which has finally arrived, based on Bashir's secret agent series. All of them seem very eager to try it - although O'Brien would rather play a character other than Falcon – except for Odo, who finally refuses upon learning that part of his role will be stealing a girl from the evil Falcon.
Odo then walks away to see Quark harassing a woman waiting at his bar, (Arissa). While successfully convincing Quark to stop bothering her (she is actually waiting for someone), Odo involuntarily makes her believe that he is interested in her, leading to a slightly awkward situation.
Later, the woman is caught trying to break into the station computer. She was trying to access the passenger manifest because her friend never showed up. She has a dataport and while not illegal, this is very suspicious. However, she tells Odo that she attempted to bypass the system because she learned not to trust policemen.
As the episode unfolds, we learn that Arissa is trying to run away from the Orion Syndicate and the man she is trying to reach was to help her. All she is able to get is a data crystal but she is not able to decrypt it yet. Odo offers to protect her, hiding her in his own quarters. The two become increasingly close (with Dax keeping the Starfleet crew well aware) and we learn that Arissa is a former net-girl and a computer hacker who worked for Draim.
An Idanian arrives at the station following Odo's communication about the one that has been killed. The man explains that Arissa is an undercover agent who work for the Idanian government and that the crystal contains all her former memories, wiped from her brain to fool the telepaths used by the Orion syndicate.
These events happen while Arissa is making a deal of her own with her former employer, exchanging the crystal with her freedom. Draim, however, has no intention of letting her live, but Odo is finally able to save her with the help of the Idanian man.
Arissa's memories and physical appearance are then restored. She also informs Odo that she is married and, while it would be pointless to continue their relationship (since she is not really the same person anymore) there was a woman who truly loved Odo and that she still exists in a sense. While the constable ended up with a broken heart, he still had a positive experience and gained a little more self confidence with women.
Memorable quotes Edit
"I thought it was on stun."
"Look what you did to the carpet."
(in Falcon voice) "Car trouble, Mr. Bashir?" (regular voice) "Hi, Odo."
- - O'Brien, as Falcon, pointing a gun at Bashir
"If people are talking, it's only because they care. You put on a good front, but anyone who really knows you can see that you're lonely."
- - Bashir, to Odo
"What if I... what if she..."
"Rejects you?... She might. But you can't go through life trying to avoid having your heart broken. If you do, it'll break from loneliness, anyway. So you might as well take a chance. If you don't, she'll move on, and you'll never know what you might have had. And living with that would be worse than having a broken heart, believe me."
- - Odo and Bashir
"This isn't fair! Odo and I were talking!"
"Didn't anyone ever tell ya? You shouldn't stop for hitchhikers."
- - Bashir and O'Brien (as Falcon)
"I've never done anything sexual before... could you tell?"
- - Odo, to Arissa
"You are not talking, you're gossiping. And besides, Odo is quite capable of taking care of himself."
"Don't shout across the room. If you want to "gossip" with us then come down here."
- - Worf and Dax
"Where is Odo? He asked me to arrange a conference with Starfleet Intelligence at 0800."
"I guess he's running late."
"He's never late."
"He's never spent the night with a woman before."
"A woman? Oh that's nice..." (Sudden look from Kira) "Isn't it?"
- - Sisko, and Dax
Background informationEdit
Story and scriptEdit
- This episode was inspired by the 1952 Richard Fleischer film The Narrow Margin. In the movie, Charles McGraw plays a policeman who is assigned to escort Marie Windsor to an important trial in which she is a key witness. Over the course of the film, he falls in love with her, even though he knows he shouldn't, as there can be no future with her. At the end of the film, it turns out that Windsor is also a cop and is acting as a decoy for the real witness who has gotten to the trial a completely different way. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- The writers had originally planned for Odo to have a sexual relationship with Chalan Aroya early in the fifth season while he was still a humanoid, but they felt that she wasn't right for him when she was introduced in "Broken Link", so they altered their plans. By the time they got around to doing an Odo relationship story however, he had regained his shape-shifting abilities. This was something that displeased Ronald D. Moore; "I wish we'd done the show while Odo was still human. If he had been Human, the relationship with this woman would have carried a little more weight." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- In René Echevarria's original teleplay, there was a scene where Arissa comes out of Odo's bedroom and finds Odo regenerating. She walks over to him and touches him, and he morphs onto her. Echevarria was especially proud of this scene, but Ira Steven Behr felt it was thematically more important for this particular episode that Odo make love as a humanoid. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion) Echevarria's scene however would resurface, when Odo does the same thing with Kira in the seventh season episode "Chimera". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- The producers intended this episode to illustrate to viewers that Odo was no longer in love with Kira. They were satisfied with how the relationship had ended in "Crossfire" and they felt that the only chance Odo and Kira had to get together was while he was a humanoid, but with Shakaar in the picture, this never happened. As such, as far as the producers were concerned, Odo and Kira were back to just having a very deep friendship, something which this episode was designed to illustrate. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion) However, only five episodes later, in "Children of Time", they changed their minds again and Odo's love for Kira would finally be revealed to her, albeit not by him.
- Bashir's secret agent holonovel was purposely limited in its screen time by the writers, who also kept the homages to James Bond restrained after they were threatened with legal action by MGM following the airing of the episode "Our Man Bashir". (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Rene Auberjonois had to shave his entire upper body for this episode. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- Rene Auberjonois commented "I thought ["A Simple Investigation"] was terrific and really just loved working with Dey Young. I had a great time, and the director, John Kretchmer, was terrific. I think that was the show in which I chided Ira [Behr] about how he always make Odo suffer". ("Morphing On Up", Star Trek Monthly, issue 33)
- Of this episode, Ira Steven Behr says "I think we do crappy romances. But in terms of romantic shows, this wasn't a bad one." (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion)
- The costume worn by Dey Young as the undercover Arissa was previously used for Young's portrayal of Hannah Bates in TNG: "The Masterpiece Society" and later for Keyla in ENT: "Two Days and Two Nights".
- Among the in-jokes listed as Arissa accesses the passenger manifest with her dataport are "Jerry Maquire," "Either Oneorother," and "Elbow Grease."

text: my 9 month old son was at the eye dr. on saturday for his free infantsee check up. all checked out great. yesterday afternoon i noticed a few tiny bumps on his right eyelid. i noticed them again this afternoon. he also has a low grade fever (100 - 101) which i think is related to teething right now.... anyway, i am wondering if anyone else has encountered these tiny bumps on the eyelid before? we have his 9 month check up at the dr tomorrow and i will ask about it if they're still there, but wondering if anyone else has ever seen this?

What's the deal with this? LO (14 mo) has had a slight cold for a couple of weeks now - with a cough. The cough comes and goes, but usually the worst the last couple of days has come in the middle of the night - right after she's woken up and nursed off one side - then she coughs - almost like she's doing it on purpose and then semi gags and half throws up on me - it's a little more like vomit than spitup although not the entire contents of her stomach by any stretch.
Then, after cleaning up, I'll feed her off the other side and she will cough a little but go back to sleep and cough off and on for another 1/2 hour or so - seemingly in her sleep... Then peaceful sleep until morning.
Any ideas on this? I'm baffled. I don't understand why coughing is worse at night - and only in the middle of the night - and after nursing?
I can't believe I'm asking, but is nursing causing this???

I still want to see STAT succeed in New York. It's crazy to think he had a stretch where he was an MVP candidate.
Last season's lack of effort on defense was horrible though, but he's back to giving effort now. Hopefully there was something else going on with him (too much muscle gained in the off-season maybe, even though I doubt that would cause him to be that bad on defense).

text: I think a lot of people on this forum will balk at the return of Amare, but I think if he is good to go, we have to give him some minutes. Our struggles on the offensive end at times in the Boston series was a reminder that one of the most potent frontcourt offensive scorers in the league (when healthy) is an asset we shouldn't ignore. Amare was great before he got hurt a couple months ago. My only fear is that he'll need a couple weeks to get going again, which you can't afford in the playoffs.

A pause to honor veterans
November 13, 2013 —
The sound of three shots from three rifles split the air as veterans from all wars involving United States military personnel were honored on November 11. Members of the Tusten, Highland and Lumberland VFW Post #6427 were on hand for the occasion as Commander Peter Carmeci officiated.
It was one of thousands of ceremonies carried out in honor of veterans. In Pennsylvania, Gov. Tom Corbett issued a statement saying, "Our veterans sacrifice personal well-being and act with undeniable honor to preserve for us a precious gift—our freedom."
In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo also issued a statement saying, "Today, we honor and thank our veterans who answered the call of duty to protect our citizens and preserve our nation's freedom. We also pay tribute to our military families who have made extraordinary sacrifices supporting our service members as they put their lives on the line to defend our values and protect our state and nation."
This was the statement from President Barack Obama: "Thank you to that greatest generation who fought island by island across the Pacific, and freed millions from fascism in Europe. Thank you to the heroes who risked everything through the bitter cold of Korea and the stifling heat of Vietnam. And thank you to all the heroes who have served since, most recently our 9/11 generation of veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan."

On Saturday, June 29, I was honored at Kings Park for my 41 years of service to the community and the Town of Refugio. Mayor Joey Heard presented me with a marker and plaque that will be in Kings Park for many years to come. It is a beautiful marker and plaque set up by Oscar Meza.
I enjoyed the crowd of friends, family and good wishes from them. The presentation along with "Ray Day" made the day exceptional. Thanks to Mayor Heard, council, my family at City Hall and everyone who had a part with the maker, plaque and the event as a whole.
Thanks to Judge Rene Mascorro and Christi, Chief of Police Andy Lopez and Sylvia. Special thanks to Lenny and Sharon Anzaldua and the Chamber of Commerce for the goodies and refreshments served at the park.
Also my special thanks to the Jaso families who were with me at the park. Lillie, Rey Jr, Millie, Roxanne, Roland, Andrea, Jared, Bryan, Ronnie, Lupe, Russell, Ryan and Robby. Also thanks to Hernan and Julie, Jorge and Robert. Thanks a lot to the VFW Post 6290, the community and the county press for the coverage. The pictures in the press are going to be good memories of an outstanding event for many years to come. To my wife Lillie, my assistant, secretary and political helper for 41 years of loyalty and support. Thank you.

The apartment complex Skidmore native Andrea Jones and her son called home was located just behind the plant and was one of the hardest hit structures.
Jones was standing behind the complex, just barely about 200 feet from the blaze.
"I was taking pictures of the fire to send to my dad and tell him I was about to evacuate because the wind was blowing hard, and I was thinking the apartment complex might get caught on fire," Jones recalled, her voice still audibly shaken by the event.
Her son, who was across town at a church youth group meeting, was a safe enough distance away when the plant exploded, nearly leveling the apartment complex.
"I was about to go in the house to get my keys and go and pick up my son from church and as soon as I got in front of my house I heard the explosion.
"My ears starting ringing, and I started running like crazy. People were running out; there were bloody children across the street from the nursing home.
"It was like a war zone."
Jones ran to the street where a stranger told her to jump into her truck and took the frantic Jones to retrieve her son.
Jones' father had already reserved them a room at a local hotel to rest and gather their thoughts.
The complex has been seen on the news constantly, as it was extremely close to the explosion.
A local eyewitness said it was just basically a skeleton of a structure that stood after the blast.
"I got a few cuts and bruises," Jones said.
"I know I'm lucky. I'm pretty mentally traumatized right now. I haven't seen medical care, but I'm fixing to go get some.
"It's just been hard to get down there right now."
Jones had many friends at the apartment complex and is still very concerned about their whereabouts.
"I'm not sure if they made it out. I know a lot of them did, but I just don't know."
While the number of those injured, missing or dead keeps rising with each passing hour, Jones is unsure of what the next step may be.
"I'm fixing to go to the community center to the trauma center and get signed up with Red Cross.
"Then I may just go home to Skidmore with my dad for a few days."
Emergency crews were still searching for both survivors and those killed.
The hardest hit area was her apartment complex.
"It ranges from broken windows to complete devastation," Waco Police Department Sgt. William Swanton said at a news conference Thursday. "There are homes that are no longer homes."
The number killed could be anywhere from five to 15.
"I don't have a number of how many they have rescued or how many potential bodies they have found," he said during that press conference.
No official cause of the explosion has been released as emergency personnel are concentrating on finding survivors.
Before heading to receive care for her wounds, Jones commented, "I just want my friends and family in Beeville to know we're OK."

SEAPLEX researchers encounter a large ghost net with tangled rope, net, plastic, and various biological organisms during a 2009 expedition in the Pacific gyre. Matt Durham (seen wearing a blue shirt) is pictured with Miriam Goldstein.
The amount of plastic trash in the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" has increased 100-fold during the past 40 years, causing "profound" changes to the marine environment, according to a new study.
Scientists from Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego found that insects called "sea skaters" or "water striders" were using the trash as a place to lay their eggs in greater numbers than before.
In a paper published by the journal Biology Letters, researchers said this would have implications for other animals, the sea skaters' predators -- which include crabs -- and their food, which is mainly plankton and fish eggs.
The scientists also pointed to a previous Scripps study that found nine percent of fish had plastic waste in their stomachs.
The "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" -- which is roughly the size of Texas -- was created by plastic waste that finds its way into the sea and is then swept into one area, the North Pacific Subtropical Convergence Zone, by circulating ocean currents known as a gyre.
This map shows the North Pacific Subtropical Convergence Zone within the North Pacific Gyre.
The Scripps Environmental Accumulation of Plastic Expedition, known as SEAPLEX, traveled about 1,000 miles west of California in August 2009.
A statement on Scripps' website said the scientists had "documented an alarming amount of human-generated trash, mostly broken down bits of plastic the size of a fingernail floating across thousands of miles of open ocean."
Scripps graduate student Miriam Goldstein, SEAPLEX's chief scientist, said that plastic had arrived in the ocean in such numbers in a "relatively short" period.
Dec. 29, 2007: NBC's Kerry Sanders reports on a huge mass of garbage floating in the Pacific Ocean that is killing marine life and growing larger each day.
"Plastic only became widespread in late '40s and early '50s, but now everyone uses it and over a 40-year range we've seen a dramatic increase in ocean plastic," she said. "Historically we have not been very good at stopping plastic from getting into the ocean so hopefully in the future we can do better."
Jim Leichter / Scripps Institution of Oceanogra
Researchers found fish larvae growing on pieces of plastic, such as the one above.
Sea skaters -- relatives of pond water skaters -- normally lay their eggs on flotsam such as seashells, seabird feathers, tar lumps and pumice. The sharp rise in plastic waste had led to an increase in egg densities in the gyre area, the study found.
"We're seeing changes in this marine insect that can be directly attributed to the plastic," Goldstein said in a statement.
She told BBC News that the addition of "hundreds of millions of hard surfaces" to the Pacific was "quite a profound change."
Samples taken by the scientists showed how marine life, such as small velella pictured above, lives alongside pieces of plastic.
"In the North Pacific, for example, there's no floating seaweed like there is in the Sargasso Sea in the North Atlantic. And we know that the animals, the plants and the microbes that live on hard surfaces are different to the ones that live floating around in the water," she added.
A garbage patch has also been found in the Atlantic Ocean, lying a few hundreds miles off the North American coast from Cuba to Virginia.
Oceanographer Curtis Ebbesmeyer, who said he coined the phrase the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch," told msnbc.com by phone that the only solution was to switch to using biodegradable plastic and let the plastic gradually disperse.
"We can't clean it up. It's just too big. You'd have to have the entire U.S. Navy out there, round the clock, continuously towing little nets. And it's produced so fast, they wouldn't be able to keep up," he said.
Ebbesmeyer said in 10,000 years scientists might find a layer of plastic in the ground and use this as evidence of "the plastic people."

School Nurse Program
School nursing is a specialized practice of professional nursing that advances the well- being, academic success, and lifelong achievement of students. To that end, school nurses facilitate positive student responses to normal development; promote health and safety; intervene with actual and potential health problems; provide case management services; and actively collaborate with others to build student and family capacity for adaptation, self-management, self-advocacy, and learning.
The role of the school nurse encompasses both health and educational goals.5–7 Students today may face family crises, homelessness, immigration, poverty, and violence, which increase both their physical and mental health needs. School nurses perform a critical role within the school health program by addressing the major health problems experienced by children. This role includes providing preventive and screening services, health education and assistance with decision-making about health, and immunization against preventable diseases. In addition, school nurses may provide interventions for acute and chronic illness, injuries and emergencies, communicable diseases, obesity, substance use and abuse, adolescent pregnancy, mental health, dental disease, nutrition, and sexually transmitted infections.8–13 School nurses need to be physically present in schools to address these responsibilities appropriately. Improved student outcomes result where schools have a full-time school nurse.3
The National Association of School Nurses identifies 7 core roles that the school nurse fulfills to foster child and adolescent health and educational success.13 The roles are overarching and are applicable to school nurses at all levels of practice, in all geographic settings, and with all clients.
- The school nurse provides direct care to students.
- The school nurse provides leadership for the provision of health services.
- The school nurse provides screening and referral for health conditions.
- The school nurse promotes a healthy school environment.
- The school nurse promotes health.
- The school nurse serves in a leadership role for health policies and programs.
- The school nurse is a liaison between school personnel, family, health care professionals, and the community.

The announcement proved to be worth waiting for.
The deal is a five year one (2013-2017 inclusive) so we won't have the same delays and doubts for the next few seasons.
This time Premier Sports have also secured the rights to State of Origin, play-offs and the Grand Final.
Every game from every regular NRL round will be shown with at least 6 of them going out live.
I couldn't check on their tv schedule online to see if they are showing a round up programme mid week as was suggested they would.
I expect it might be possible to follow that up on the Sky EPG.
Here's the NRL Round 1 offering then:
At least some of these games are repeated later.
How good's that then?

I keep forgetting my own opinion is typical bullshit. Silly me!
Here's a thought: fact =/= opinion.
Written by Slyfang on 25.07.2010 at 03:53
oh yeah the old "opinion" defense. well you presented what you said as a statement not as an opinion. but whatever, that opinion is strange and does nothing except conform to the extreme metalhead stereotype of "clean vox are for pussies!1" and "growling and grunting = better music". it's not as if i don't enjoy extreme vocals, but it's just getting ridiculous how seriously people are taking it.
but other than that, why don't you try keeping an open mind, huh? listen to the music for what it is, not for what you want it to be
Written by Troy Killjoy on 25.07.2010 at 04:02
The old opinion defense? I'm sorry not everybody on this website states IMO after everything they type. I assumed (for the worst, apparently) that most people have the common sense to understand the difference between an opinion and a fact.
Fact - Canada is the second largest country in the world by total area.
Opinion - Canada is the greatest country ever!
Fact - Silhouettes features clean vocals.
Opinion - Clean vocals suck!
By the way - I like some clean vocals in metal (Green Carnation, Candlemass, Amorphis, Anathema, The Prophecy...etc. and I enjoy lots of music that isn't metal (including radio rock from the '90s and '80s pop).
EDIT: Probably the most ridiculous part of this is that in my original post I typed "for me personally", nullifying any chance at presenting my opinion as a fact.
Written by Slyfang on 25.07.2010 at 04:21
...what i meant was that people should express their views in a way that it doesn't look like they consider it to be the ultimate truth.
Again with the first statement, "for me personally". In terms of differentiating between my opinion and a fact, I don't think it gets any more obvious than that.
...naively believing that all opinions are equal in value.
I do believe that all opinions are equal in value, at least opinions of people who have enough of a mind to form their own.
tell me, does it make sense to you that singing is being referred to as 'clean vocals'?
It makes sense to me because it helps create a distinction between harsh vocals and clean ones.
You can call it screaming and growling or singing and chanting, whatever works for you.
would you rather that he scream during the serene, ambient moments like in the song Messengers? how does that make sense in any goddamn way?
Just because a moment is serene or ambient in a song doesn't mean only clean vocals are appropriate.
if you say 'lots of', then AT LEAST say something that isn't somehow related to metal music
If I tell you I listen to Ingrid Michaelson or Genesis or Rachmaninov, you'll find a way to relate them all back to metal, so I'd rather not delve further into my musical preferences outside of metal.

Well, TBH it's probably the djent in Textures - not a big fan. But it's weird, Sunpocrisy has a lot of djent in their music and I loved their last release to death.

I am beginning to research when and how to start my baby on solids. I am extremely overwhelmed by all of the information that I am finding. My ds is 6 months old and he has been breastfed and bottle fed. He is very alert and pays attention whenever my dh and I are eating. I know that this does not necessarily mean that he is ready for solids.
I have so many questions about this, so I am just going to lay them out on the table. What cues from you LO did you follow as you began to start them on solids? When did you start your baby on solids? What approach to introducing solids is working for you? How did you first introduce solids and what types of food did you use?
I want to thank you in advanced for your input and guidance. I truly appreciate it .

Cards Must Embrace Occam's Razor
To be whole, you must be broken.
When the British imprisoned Gandhi, did he give up his string of peaceful protests? When Judas ratted out Jesus, did J.C. stop spreading the gospel? When Hillary blasted Obama for being associated with a hifalutin crazy-talkin' preacher, did he cede the race, kill the birth of hope politics or spit on the dreams of US Americans to see real change?
No. They didn't.
Now, as the St. Louis Cardinals find themselves in a similar predicament, the task is at hand: persevere, stay the course, rise from the dead if need be, but most importantly: keep on doing what you've been doing. Keep winning.
Without question, Albert Pujols' injury is a devastating blow to a team who has already overcome an onslaught of adversity. Losing three seasoned veterans to other clubs, losing an ace starter, losing a key utility man to the evils of addiction, these are just a few of the obstacles they've been forced to overcome — not to mention the fact that no one — NO ONE — even gave them a fighting chance before the season started.
Yet despite all of the above, the Cards sit just 2 1/2 games behind the Cubs (as I write this), and they've gotten there with hard work, solid pitching, timely hitting and gutsy performances. Pujols is and always will be the catalyst, but they wouldn't be competing in the NL Central if it weren't for the blue collar efforts of a mostly unheard of supporting cast.
Ludwick, Ankiel, Schumaker, Molina, Miles, Franklin and Lohse = Guts, guts, guts, guts, guts, guts and guts.
So why change anything now? Put Duncan at first base, adjust the batting order, put on that jockstrap and let's grow a pair! Don't lose a step! Do NOT panic! Do not get crazy, give up hope, make a stupid move or cede the race!
In other words, keep the same, simple attitude and forget about the baseball pundits that are now saying the Cards haven't a chance in the world. According to them, we never did (see 2008 current standings, 2006 final standings for evidence of how this has been overcome before).
It's only June. It's far from over. And I'm right. Don't hate me for it.
2 Comments
I was thinking to myself, "Yes! The Cards lost Pujols!" And not only did I feel like a total jerk for saying that seeing as I was celebrating another human beings injury but then I realized as saying that I also knew that Pujols wasn't carrying the team so the effect wasn't catastrophic.
But then Alfonso Soriano got plunked and is out for 6 weeks.
Who knew Karma would kick me in the shins and run?
And can you ask your team to lose a game? Please? Just one?
– Stephanie
Stephanie — Ah, yes, this is the gods' way of making things a little more interesting. Lose a game? How 'bout the Cubbies slow down a bit. Jeesh. Cards can't catch a break no matter how well they play. We've been cruising along and have gained just one game in the standings in the last two weeks. Don't ya just love this game!?!
