MOSCOW - Russian security forces killed three militants suspected of planning attacks on church services during the Russian Orthodox Christmas holiday, authorities said.
Security forces tried to stop a van in the restive North Caucasus province of Kabardino-Balkaria on Sunday but its occupants opened fire and were killed in the ensuing battle, the National Anti-Terrorism Committee said in a statement.
It said that explosives, guns and ammunition were found in the van and that the men who were killed had been planning attacks on churches during services marking Russian Orthodox Christmas, which is on Monday.
Full Russia coverage from NBC News
The statement gave no evidence to support that suspicion and the account could not be verified.
Deadly exchanges of gunfire between police and suspected militants at road checkpoints are common in Russia's North Caucasus, a string of provinces hit by an Islamist insurgency rooted in two separatist wars in Chechnya.
Brutality, anger fuel jihad in Russia's Caucasus
Kabardino-Balkaria, west of Chechnya, is mostly Muslim but has a sizable Christian minority.
President Vladimir Putin's 13 years in power have been marred by violence in the North Caucasus and attacks by the insurgents elsewhere, and he has called repeatedly for ethnic and religious peace during a new term that started last May.
Putin attended a midnight Russian Orthodox Christmas service early on Monday in Sochi, a Black Sea and Caucasus Mountain resort about 185 miles west of Kabardino-Balkaria that is to host the 2014 Winter Olympics.
As the Olympics come to an end in London, there are the 2014 Sochi Games in Russia to look forward to. NBC's Jim Maceda reports.

First Trip to GSMNP - Need Help
Hello Everybody,
I have never been to the GSMNP but will be making my first voyage over in the Spring around the first of June with my 12 year old son.
We are planning on camping and would like to hike into a campsite for two-three days of fishing.
Can someone point us in the right direction as to what campsite would offer good fishing and relatively easy access for a couple of novice GSMNP fisherman.
Give campsite 24 a go....it is a 4.5 mile hike in up the Little River Trail....first took my son there when he was 12....campsite is located on Rough Creek and is a nice site with plenty of food cables. The site is bounded by the Little River....nice dry fly fishing here and brookie water above.....you can walk back down the trail 1/2 mile and cross over to Fish Camp Prong for another good area.....this campsite definitely holds the potential for a slam of all three trout species.....another bonus is that the last time my son and I were there during the 2nd week of June there was a fire fly display that was better than the one they write about in Elkmont....
I agree with Rog on Campsite #24, but here are two more suggestions that are a bit shorter:
#65 on Noland Creek is about 1.3 miles from the Lakeshore drive trailhead. The campsite is very nice (I've stayed there).
#60 on Deep Creek is about 2.5 miles from the trailhead.
The fishing is probably a bit better on Deep Creek.
If you are interested in learning more about the area (and planning your trip) there is a map and book that you might find interesting. The Hiking Trails of the Smokies book is a great reference to all of the trails of the park and the Trails Illustrated map of the Great Smoky Mountains (#229) is a great reference, as well. You can get both at the SmokiesStore: http://www.smokiesstore.org/browse.cfm/4,683.htm

We've been to some local shows and I really enjoy the action, but that is not an atmosphere I would ever take my child to. Thanks for your thoughtful advice and opinions. I will probably have to find somewhere to stash my son where he can't watch the fights because the closer it gets, the more I want to watch.
If you talk to your cousin, send them all our luck!

Forestburgh revamps summer 2012
November 17, 2011 —
FORESTBURGH, NY — Producing director Norman Duttweiler announced a number of changes and additions to the previously announced 2012 summer season at the Forestburgh Playhouse. "Although we try to avoid changing a season that we have already announced, sometimes situations arise which cause this to happen. We had previously announced 'Spamalot,' which we had hoped to pair with Lerner's and Loewe's 'Camelot.' We are now replacing 'Spamalot' with the recent Broadway hit 'Legally Blonde,' and are replacing 'Camelot' with another long time audience favorite, 'The Sound of Music.' We think we will have an even stronger season with these new additions."
These new shows join a lineup which also includes "Guys and Dolls," "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," "West Side Story," Neil Simon's "Barefoot in the Park" and the comedy thriller "Murder Among Friends" with M*A*S*H star Loretta Swit.
Among other changes next year, for the first time since 1996, the Tavern at the Forestburgh Playhouse will offer a buffet pre-show dinner on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. It will be accompanied by the performance of the famed Forestburgh Playhouse cabaret after dinner and before the main stage production. There will be no post-show cabaret performances on these three week nights. Visit www.FBplayhouse.org or call 845/794-1194.

The Legislative Process: SB 136 Signed By Governor Deal
This post is the fourth and final in a series examining the process of introducing, debating, amending and voting on a bill. We have worked closely with the state Senate Press Office to follow Senate Bill 136, which addresses issues of public safety on waterways. Legislators filed SB 136 on Feb. 8, 2013 and it passed both the House and Senate during the legislative session in March. Don't forget to check out our first post introducing the bill and our posts about its unanimous passage in the Senate and vote/passage in the House.
At the start of the legislative session, Governor Deal addressed the need for increased attention to public safety on Georgia's waterways, including stricter regulation of boating under the influence.
Senate Bill 136 does exactly that, lowering the state's legal intoxication limit for boaters and hunters and increasing penalties for those caught boating while intoxicated. The bill also requires youth to enroll in free boating safety education courses and all individuals 13 years of age and younger to wear life jackets on moving boats.
After a unanimous vote in the state Senate, the Georgia House of Representatives approved SB 136 with some minor revisions and sent those revisions to the Senate on March 20. The Senate approved the revisions and passed the final version of the bill on March 28.
The bill calls for the "Jake and Griffin Prince BUI Law," in tribute to two brothers killed when a drunk boater collided with their family's boat, and the "Kile Glover Boat Education Law," which remembers a young boy struck and killed by a jet watercraft last summer.
Governor Nathan Deal reviewed the bill and signed it into law on April 23. The bill will take effect on May 15.

"We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey."
The 2014 James Wake Memorial Lecture was presented by keynote speaker Dr. Carol Olson Long, R.N., F.P.C.N., F.A.A.N. ON "A Cultural Journey in Pallliative Care: Impact and Insights".
Palliative care continues to evolve in the United States and abroad. A rapidly aging population, increasing life expectancy, and shift to non-communicable disease as the cause of death are issues prompting countries worldwide to address the palliative care needs of older adults. In addition, palliative care capacity-building is inadequate due to limited trained staff, logistical and organizational barriers, and outdated policies. This presentation will review and identify trends in palliative care globally and provide exemplars of novel approaches and partnerships created to promote capacity-building from a transcultural nursing perspective.
Dr. Long's presentation can be viewed here.
This lecture is in memory of James Wake, chaplain and husband of former Marquette provost Dr. Madeline Wake, R.N., F.A.A.N. James' career was devoted to helping others through social work and chaplaincy.
Presented by the Marquette University College of Nursing Institute for Palliative and End of Life Care.
Marquette IPEOLC/Aurora Visiting Nurses AssociationThe Marquette College of Nursing Institute for End-of-Life Care and the Aurora Visiting Nurses Association (part of Aurora Health Care in Milwaukee) formed a unique partnership to advance the quality of end-of-life care. The two organizations are working together to forge new initiatives in care, education and services.

File upload limit raised to 5GBposted by Dark0ne Game NewsSomething I've been wanting to do away with for a while now is the need for a multi-part upload system for files that are larger than 1Gb, or for people who have unstable connections and can't upload large files before getting dropped.
Following the successful roll-out of our new code on all the Nexus sites (we're almost there, just 3 more sites to go!) Axel is going to be continuing work on a new upload system. This upload system is going to support upload resuming and pausing. Much like download resuming this means if you upload 75% of your file and then get disconnected for whatever reason you'll only need to upload the remaining 25% of the file when you come back to uploading your file. Really handy if you've got unstable internet or if you get disconnected at 99% when uploading huge files. You'll also be able to pause your upload, so if you're halfway through uploading a 5Gb file and you want to hop in to a multiplayer game, you can simply pause your upload and resume it later.
In preparation for these changes all the Nexus sites now support file sizes up to 5Gb. So while you won't be able to resume your uploads yet if you get disconnected, as long as you've got a stable connection you should be able to upload super large files now without having to split your files in to separate archives. Once Axel's new upload system is in place we'll do away with the multi-part upload system completely and work on combining all the archives that people have uploaded as multi-parts in to one single file.

Cheese company buys Castleton Crackers
Theres no denying cheese and crackers are an irresistible combination.
Its also a match that Castleton Crackers and Vermont Farmstead Cheese Company couldnt resist, either.
On Thursday, Vermont Farmstead Cheese announced that it had acquired Castleton Crackers from founder Whitney Lamy.
Five years after baking her first batch of crackers at her Castleton home, Lamy said Castleton Crackers had grown to the point where it was the right time to sell the company.
Lamy, who will now head the Castleton Food Division of Vermont Farmstead Cheese, said her new job means spending less time on administrative work and really getting out there doing product development and sales and marketing.
She said Castleton Crackers will continue to be made at the bakery in Manchester.
Merger discussions with the South Woodstock cheese company began a couple of months ago and culminated with Thursdays announcement, Lamy said. No sale price was disclosed.
For Vermont Farmstead Cheese, the acquisition fits with the companys plan to add a cracker line, said Vince Galluccio, a member of the Vermont Farmstead board of directors and its former chairman.
We share the same distributors; we share the same retailers, Galluccio said. So its a great move economically for both companies to help each other expand.
He said the acquisition will free up Lamy to do her entrepreneurial thing.
It looks like it was meant to happen, Galluccio said. Whitney is a great, great person and well respected in the industry.
An official announcement will be made at noon, Saturday at the Rutland winter farmers market on West Street nearly five years after Lamy started her company in January 2008.
From a business perspective, she said the cheese and cracker companies complement each other.
In my research, what really excites me is even nationwide, I dont know of any other cheese and cracker companies that have come together like this, especially artisan companies that really complement each other, Lamy said.
Looking ahead, Lamy said the merged company wants to build the Vermont brand. Theyre rolling out shortly a line of salad dressings and dips and spreads that uses the leftover whey from their cheesemaking operations, she said.
In that same sustainable vein, Castleton Crackers will be using Vermont Farmstead ingredients in Lamys recipes.
Galluccio said Vermont Farmstead Cheese has its sights set on increasing production. The companys cheese is already available in 32 states and will make its debut on the West Coast in March.
So, were hoping to bring Castleton Crackers along with us, too, as that offering of cheese and crackers, he said. I think there are a lot of synergies there from a marketing side and were looking to capitalize on that.
He said the company has approximately 16 employees with plans to hire another dozen.
Galluccio said Vermont Farmstead has enjoyed success in part because it found a niche making old world cheeses that many companies dont do. Other factors in its success are owed to having an excellent cheesemaker on board, dedicated employees and a sound marketing strategy, he said.
Castleton Crackers (www.castletoncrackers.com) is sold in stores in 26 states. The handcrafted crackers are sold in several varieties, including Middlebury Maple and Rutland Rye.
Vermont Farmstead Cheese (vermontfarmstead.com) makes a variety of artisan cheeses, including cheddar and Windsordale. The company, which operates its own dairy, recently expanded to the Windsor Industrial Park, where it operates a production facility and retail/visitor center.

This week we mourn the passing of a legend among business writers__Stephen R. Covey, author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, died Monday. Covey's book sold more than 25 million copies worldwide and spent five years on the New York Times best-seller list.
Covey fused the genres of self-help and business literature, writes Douglas Martin in a New York Times article. Martin continues: "Covey was a bit baffled by his success. He said he was simply telling people what he thought they already knew: the efficacy of good behavior."
Like many of you, I've read and reread Seven Habits. Therefore, I know as I type this that you probably are familiar with Covey's ideas. However, I can also say that every time I've read Covey's book, I've gained something new that I can apply in my work and in my life. Therefore, I think it's worthwhile to review the seven habits, which are:
In his book, Covey writes about two ways to put yourself in control of your life immediately__making a promise and setting a goal. "As we make and keep commitments, we begin to establish an inner integrity that gives us the awareness of self-control and the courage and strength to accept more of the responsibility for our own lives … The power to make and keep commitments to ourselves is the essence of developing the basic habits of effectiveness."
What Covey articulates in his writing usually is what we consider "soft skills," but that doesn't mean it is not important. Professional development is about more than gaining the technical skills you need to competently perform a function. True expertise is gained by improving your effectiveness and working well in a team while you communicate, build trust, and collaborate to achieve results.
APICS career research shows that supply chain and operations management professionals advance in their careers as they hone their soft skills. Professionals who combine strong technical competence with effective soft skills are consistently promoted. APICS strives to support this winning combination.
Consider, for example, APICS career packs, which contain job descriptions, career paths, and competency models by title for supply chain and operations management careers. These career-focused packages help you manage your career growth by strategically setting goals and measuring your progress against information provided by counterparts around the world.
APICS career packs can be downloaded free from the APICS website, and they include packs for buyer/planners, distribution and logistics managers, master scheduling managers, materials managers, and supply chain managers.
If you are looking for inspiration, I encourage you to read or reread Seven Habits, which I expect will continue to resonate with businesspeople for years to come. Once inspired, however, APICS and its resources can help you succeed in your own fulfilling career. Idea exchange
Now, you can take the APICS Operations Management Now discussion to your social networks on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and the APICS Supply Chain Channel. Be sure to use the hashtag #OMNow and include @Tweet_APICS in any tweets to have your words featured on the APICS homepage.

An Evening with Bruce Feiler
Bestselling Author Bruce Feiler to Share Secrets of Happy Families at Friends' Central.
Don't worry about family dinner. Let your kids pick their punishments. Ditch the sex talk. Cancel date night. These are just a few of the surprising innovations in Bruce Feiler's new book The Secrets of Happy Families: Improve Your Mornings, Rethink Family Dinner, Fight Smarter, Go Out and Play, and Much More. On Thursday, February 21 at 7:30 pm on Friends' Central's City Avenue campus (1101 City Ave., Wynnewood, Pa.), Feiler will be sharing answers to the questions that so many parents today are asking: How do we manage the chaos of our lives? How do we teach our kids values? How do we make our family happier?
To be released on February 19, The Secrets of Happy Families is a bold, yet fun, first-of-its-kind playbook for today's families that looks at how parents and children can draw closer together. In researching his book, Feiler embarked on a three-year journey to find cutting-edge solutions and ideas to make his family happier. Instead of interviewing the usual family experts and psychologists, he sought out some of the most creative minds – from Silicon Valley to the country's top negotiators, and even visited the set of Modern Family – to find out what team-building and problem-solving techniques they used with their own families. He then tested those ideas with his own wife and children. The result, The Secrets of Happy Families, is a fresh, smart, and completely original book that can change the lives of families.
Bruce Feiler writes a column about contemporary families for the Sunday New York Times and is the author of five consecutive New York Times bestsellers, including Walking the Bible and The Council of Dads. He is the writer and host of the PBS series "Walking the Bible" and the forthcoming "Sacred Journeys with Bruce Feiler."
This event is free and open to the public, but reservations are required.

Beyond the facial hair.
David. Let's have a chat. Cliffy's not going to be around anymore to guide you through the finer things in life, but I'm still here. I'll always be here for you. So, hon, let's talk…suits.
Virginia may be for lovers, but New York is for fashion. (And I don't mean this kind.) We know you like to wear your casual shirts oversized, and although it's not my first choice for you, I get it. That's what you're comfortable in, and it's casual-wear, so you can get away with it, even in your beloved pastels.
But a suit, David? A suit is a man's best style weapon. It's pretty hard to go wrong in a suit. Suits are hot. All you need to do is find a designer you trust, and–AND–your perfect fit. This? Is not your perfect fit.
Please, D-Wright. Please, for the eyes of us ladies everywhere, just go a little smaller. The pants shouldn't be billowing out, and the waist shouldn't be swimming. Single-breasted is good, the color's fine. Just tighten up your suits a little, okay? If not for the ladies, then for the team. Because I'm sure this is very important to them as well.

Dear Scouts and Scouters:
When you think about Scouting and Venturing you think about the woods and camping. The Boy Scouts of America has always been about getting young people outdoors and into the wilderness. And when you think about the wilderness, you think about Oak and Elm trees, deer and bear, eagles and owls.
But there's another wilderness that encompasses far more of the world's space and that most people will never see. That's the wilderness under the ocean. Only there can you see Fan Coral and Sea Grass, sting rays and manatees, sharks and goliath grouper. And that's the wilderness that Scouts will explore at Sea Base.
No trails for hiking here. You'll trade your hiking boots for dive fins, your glasses for a dive mask, and you'll be breathing through a snorkel or regulator. And with all this you'll become a guest in a wilderness most people will only ever read about. The undersea wilderness! And that's high adventure!
You'll learn hobbies that will last a lifetime. In addition to snorkeling or scuba diving, the Florida Keys is the sport fishing capital of the world. Sailing is one of our most popular adventures or you may prefer to camp on our very own primitive island in the Atlantic Ocean. And you'll do all of this in one of America's most pristine and beautiful places, the Florida Keys. It's a unique ecosystem and home to North America's only living coral reef!
The Boy Scout motto is "Be Prepared". The pages here contain all the information you need to prepare for your adventure of a lifetime. Experience tells us that the better prepared your crew is for its adventure, the better time the participants have. Take advantage of the material provided to get ready for your adventure.
You'll find the Sea Base staff to be superbly qualified to guide you through your adventure. We all look forward to your arrival at Sea Base, in the Florida Keys, sometime known as the Conch Republic, but most often referred to by the locals as "paradise".
Paul BealGeneral ManagerFlorida Sea Base
Located in Islamorada and on Summerland Key in the beautiful Florida Keys, as well as Marsh Harbour, Great Abaco Island, Bahamas, the near shore reefs and crystal clear waters offer unparalleled opportunities for long term and short term programs year round.

BD was going to be the starter when healthy because we had a PG crisis, and no other PG on the team. And because the rare "why not" situation raised where he was amnestied and we got him for a min.
But more importantly, he has never even actually played for us this season, and asserted any sort of claim on the PG slot.
It is Baron who must show his poise, and reclaim the spot from Lin through superlative play over a stretch of time.
Baron needs to acclimate himself to handling full-time PG duties, and prove himself with his play.
On the topic of "poise", it is Lin who came in and transformed our entire and season round -- virtually single handedly, with his play and particularly his poise in the clutch.
And how has Baron showed such poise -- let alone the variety of transformative team play that Lin has? He had 6 TO's in about 50% less PT than Lin recently.
Coaching staff should do what's right and give Baron the PG spot?
We aren't running a lemonade stand, and handing over the reigns to our niece because we want to make her feel good, and once upon a time implied we would give her a shot.
And please don't take this as me jumping on your dick (you have a track record of being inclined to fantasize that whenever a man rebuts your NBA knowledge on a forum that he is up on your phallus n ass).

"Turkey hunting remains a very popular activity with over 100,000 turkey hunters taking to the field each spring in pursuit of this exciting game bird," Commissioner Martens said.
"Since 2004, we have also offered a special opportunity for junior hunters, and are pleased to be able to expand this prospect to junior hunters in the New York metro area. The Youth Turkey Hunt is an excellent chance for young hunters to spend time afield with experienced adult hunters to learn about conservation first-hand, gaining the necessary knowledge and skills to become safe and responsible members of New York's hunting community."

Wanted: Spanish teacher for Barre ElementarySeptember 10,2013
By David Delcore
Staff Writer
BARRE — Hablas Espanol?
If your answer to that question is "si," you might consider calling Barre City Elementary and Middle School, because the School Board learned Monday night that the long-term substitute hired to handle their Spanish program doesn't speak the language.
On a night when they held a "meet-and-greet" for new faculty members it was the teaching position that hasn't yet been filled that had board members talking about Spanish.
More than two weeks into the new school year the Spanish program remains without an instructor, and board members fear their eighth graders' ability to opt out of Spanish 1 when they head to Spaulding High School next year is quickly being compromised.
"We've got to do something," School Commissioner Linda Riddle said. "If we're going to offer this (Spanish) and then we're going to hold our children accountable for it, and then we're going to make all this noise about how they're going to be just as ready (for Spaulding) as (students from) Barre Town, we have to actually have a teacher."
That is the one thing that a Spanish program that the board flirted with eliminating not all that long ago doesn't currently have, according to middle school Principal Michelle Cote.
Cote told the board that, while "very capable," the long-term substitute who has been filling in since the start of the year "doesn't speak Spanish."
Instead, Cote said the substitute is currently teaching students how to safely use the Internet and attempting to double down on instruction they're receiving in their language arts programs.
"Essentially it's being run as a study hall?" Riddle asked
Cote repeatedly resisted that description, while freely acknowledging there was no separate curriculum, and conceding that time to locate a qualified Spanish teacher was rapidly running out.
"At some point, sooner rather than later, we're going to have to decide what's going to happen with this program this year," Cote said, suggesting a yet-to-be-vetted voice mail from a potential applicant might be the answer.
Or not.
"I can't sort of make any candidates when there don't seem to be any coming," she said.
Cote's lament triggered a brief brainstorming session during which board members floated ideas ranging from actively recruiting Spanish-speaking community members to temporarily teach the course to considering the possibility of arranging for online instruction.
Riddle suggested the "distance learning" option as a possible solution, and Superintendent John Bacon said it is offered on a "limited basis" to students at Spaulding High School.
According to Bacon, students are allowed to enroll in online courses that aren't offered at Spaulding, or they couldn't otherwise take due to scheduling conflicts.
School Commissioner Leslie Walz said the Barre board's predicament would arguably satisfy that standard.
"It seems almost like this kind of fits that in the sense that we can't offer it (Spanish)," Walz said.
Riddle agreed.
"You can't make someone appear," she said.
However, Bacon said distance learning wasn't necessarily a viable solution. It would, he said, require the availability of a computer lab for students and might not be as interactive as would be optimal for students learning a foreign language.
Riddle said she was willing to entertain a range of options assuming school officials aren't able to quickly locate a Spanish teacher.
"It's time we start to look outside of the box now because the box isn't going to work right now," she said. "We need to borrow people, we need to do distance learning, we need someone who will at least speak it (Spanish) at them (students), we need to do something."
Walz agreed, suggesting that letting the problem linger was not acceptable.
"I'm just really afraid of the demise of the whole (foreign) language program if we don't get something moving," Walz said.
Board members seemed most concerned about restoring Spanish classes for seventh- and eight-graders, a move they said would give the middle-schoolers the opportunity to "test out" of an introductory Spanish course at Spaulding.
Riddle wondered whether private tutoring was an option, providing an avenue for some students to satisfy the Spanish 1 requirements on their own.
"If families are better able to put it together than we are could their kids still take the test?" she asked.
Bacon said he suspected the answer was yes.
Cote said she would confer with Bacon and update the board on the status of the position by the end of the week. However, she warned, even if a suitable Spanish teacher is found quickly, ensuring students are able to make up for class time they have already missed will likely mean forcing them to miss something else later in the year.
Board members said they would wait for the update, but School Commissioner Sonya Spaulding said they should start thinking about "Plan C."
"At what point do we say we have to pull the plug and do something completely different?" she asked, suggesting the current arrangement feels like a study hall to her son.
"The perception from my student is it's study hall," she said.
In other business Monday night, the board approved an unbudgeted increase of $5,640 to compensate a receptionist's position that will be assigned additional duties. Pay for the position will increase from $11- to $14.50-an-hour. Money, board members were told, would come from anticipating savings in an administrative line item.

Find Your Passion: Military Nurse Returns from Afghanistan to Pick Up Doctorate
By Michael Washington
Dara Warren is cautious and thoughtful when reflecting upon the circumstances under which she earned her master's and doctoral degrees from The University of Alabama. When the twice-deployed Air Force captain walks across the stage at UA's commencement Aug. 7, she will have completed an almost seven-year personal mission that took her to Iraq, Afghanistan, Japan, Germany and back home.
Completing coursework for a master of science in nursing and a doctorate in nursing practice has its own challenges, and combining those with the requirements of a military nurse in an intensive care unit certainly doesn't make it any easier. Yet, she took a decidedly practical approach to her studies.
"Being overseas didn't really make my [course]work any more difficult," says Warren. "Without the little distractions during deployment, you pretty much go to work, do your coursework, and work out."
Her journey to nursing and military service began when she was a middle-schooler fixated on caring for babies as a nurse. Following home schooling, Warren earned her first degree in nursing and got her first exposure to nursing in a neonatal intensive care unit.
"I fell in love with the job and have been a NICU nurse since then, " says Warren.
After graduating from UA with a bachelor of science in nursing, Warren explored her options.
"I love to travel, and had prior-service friends who encouraged me to look at military nursing," Warren recalls of her decision-making process. "I liked the opportunities the military offered, both career and education, and commissioned as a First Lieutenant in 2003. My initial commitment was four years, and I've been in almost seven years now."
Warren views her military service in both Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan as life-altering "in every way" and an experience that exposed her to leadership and management opportunities usually unavailable to civilian nurses. In fact, many of her clinical requirements for both of her graduate degrees were already a part of the job. But Warren sees her service as more than a learning experience.
"I've been deployed twice and been given the opportunity to take care of our nation's heroes firsthand, but I also feel that when at home station [in Japan and Germany] taking care of neonates I'm still indirectly supporting those who protect our freedom by taking care of their most vulnerable family member."
Caring for our nation's heroes was the biggest challenge for Warren. While working in intensive care units, she saw the price of war.
"The toughest part?" Warren asked, in response to a question. "What a person has to see and deal with. I only see the guys coming back injured. You can't help but become intimately acquainted with the cost of freedom."
Warren also received a fair share of support. She credits her seeking a doctoral degree and graduation to Drs. Linda Dunn and Dr. Marietta Stanton, UA nursing professors, who allowed her a flexible schedule for completing her coursework during deployment, as well as mentoring from Stanton, herself a former service member. "Without the two of them," Warren says there was no way she would be graduating. Warren looks forward to being close to her family and friends after almost five years away from home. As Dr. Warren, she plans to work with Stanton on research involving nurse veterans as well as to encourage her fellow nurses to continue their education.
"One of my favorite things to do is to encourage my fellow nurses and technicians in furthering their education. I feel like completing my degrees in the manner that I have gives me a lot of credibility with my peers. If I can do it, anyone can."
That same humility comes forth when Warren contemplates the gravity of completing post-secondary education entirely away from a college campus.
"This is part of life," she says. "I don't think my circumstances are really that remarkable."

Voter registration vitally important
What does it mean when you place your signature to a document?
The Bible says; let your yea shall be yea and your nay shall be nay. Your signature says yea or nay to the document you are signing.
When you sign a check, you have promised to pay the said amount. When you sign a contract with a bank, contractor, or cell phone company, you are agreeing to the terms of that contract. As the old saying goes, your signature (or handshake) is your word.
This being an election year, I would like to challenge you to think about your signature on a document. The document I am speaking of is your voter registration. First of all, if you have not signed up to vote, shame on you!
If you are registered, do you know what your signature says you have agreed to? Your signature says I agree with this party's platform.
Think long and hard about this – your party may not be what it was at one time!
The old cliche Republicans are for the rich and Democrats are for the poor simply is not true. Our president is using this foregone notion to pit Americans against each other, thus creating class warfare. This puts our nation in a sad state of affairs!
It is essential that you know what your party's platform is, then hold your leaders to this platform if you can in good conscience. If you cannot stand with the platform, you may consider changing your party, or better yet, register as an independent, which gives the additional flexibility to vote in either party's primary.
Rich and poor is not the issue. Allow me to spell out where the Republicans and Democrats stand on some of the real issues. Then ask yourself, can I sign my name to where this party stands?
The Republicans' platform states that they stand for the repeal of Obamacare, a ban on same-sex marriage, utilizing our abundant energy resources, free enterprise based solutions for the environment, individual choice for Social Security investments, school choice and school vouchers, prayer in school, a ban on embryonic stem cell research, the repeal of Roe vs. Wade, ending all public funding of abortion, providing incentives to reduce dependency on welfare, protecting gun rights and not providing amnesty for illegal immigrants.
The Democrats' platform states that they stand for hate crime legislation (to include sexual orientation), repeal of Defense of Marriage Act, less drilling for oil, higher taxes on viable energy sources (oil, gas, and coal) to supplement alternative energy sources, Obamacare, higher tax rates, affirmative action, securing more land for federal conservancy, no privatization of Social Security, no school vouchers, more federal control over education, women's right to choice, taxpayer funding of abortion, stricter gun control, statehood for the Palestinians and granting amnesty to illegal immigrants.
As a registered voter, can you support what your party stands for? If not, maybe it's time to consider a change!

On June 5, 2012, the Exploratorium webcast the 6.5-hour transit of Venus live from the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii.
Video clips showing the beginning (1st and 2nd contact) and end (3rd and 4th contact) of the transit, as well as a highlights clip that includes sunspots and solar prominences, are now viewable here.
The videos show the transit through three different telescopes. The yellow-
looking sun was imaged through a white-light telescope, filtered only to decrease
the sun's brightness. The violet-hued sun is the result of a calcium filter. Calcium
ions emit wavelengths in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum, which the camera
interprets for us. The red-colored sun was shot through a hydrogen-alpha filter,
which only allows red light emitted by hydrogen to reach the camera.
As the video signal was received at the museum, Exploratorium composer Wayne Grim converted it into a sound composition.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- More than 100 soldiers with an Oshkosh-based National Guard unit have been ordered to Kuwait.
About 130 members of the 1157th Transportation Company are expected to report for active duty in early 2012 for the deployment. A National Guard spokeswoman declined to say precisely when.
The soldiers will go through several weeks of mobilization training at Camp Shelby in Mississippi before heading to Kuwait for about nine months. They're expected to provide base security and protect convoys.
The soldiers completed weapons and vehicle roll-over training at Fort McCoy earlier this month.

While taking a quick read of Twitter earlier today, I saw a Tweet that mentioned that Fox was looking to develop a show based on the life of Sam and Mariah Calagione, the founders of Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales.
Intrigued, �I wanted to find out if this is true, so I shot an email out to Sam Calagione. He said the planning is in the early stages, but did share a note he sent to the brewery staff about the show.�
The show will use Calagione�s book, �Brewing Up a Business� and the story of Dogfish Head�s early days as the back-story for a Fox Network sitcom.
Calagione�s friends Erica Oyama Marino and Ken Marino, the letter to employees said, are writing the pilot. Calagione and Marino are former roommates, and actually helped paint the original Rehoboth brewpub before it opened.
�It will be fun for me to work with them on this show as the brewing/story consultant,� said Calagione in the note to employees. �They both love and respect great beer and beer will be a major theme in the show but its mostly about a boot-strapping mom and pop couple and company having fun and living through the challenges so many entrepreneurs face. Cheers! �Sam �
Calagione said the brewery on the show would not be called Dogfish Head and would be a fictional brewery.
When there are more details, I�ll let you all know.

April 26, 2001: Planet formation is a hazardous process. New pictures from the Hubble telescope are giving astronomers the first direct visual evidence for the growth of planetary "building blocks" inside the dusty disks of young WATCH: HubbleMinute Video HubbleMinute: Orion's Survivor Game stars in the Orion Nebula, a giant "star factory" near Earth. But these snapshots also reveal that the disks are being "blowtorched" by a blistering flood of ultraviolet radiation from the region's brightest star, making planet formation extremely difficult.See the rest:
The building blocks are tiny particles, no larger than snowflakes or pieces of gravel. These small particles have grown 1,000 times in size. Spotting the particles shows that it may be easy to start building planets, even though most may never reach adulthood because of Orion's hostile environment. One astronomer compared the planet-building process in Orion to constructing a skyscraper in the middle of a tornado.
Astronomers deduced the sizes of the planetary particles by analyzing the colors of light that pass through the disks.
The fine dust normally seen in space, for example, blocks blue light but allows red light to pass through. The Sun appears red at sunset because atmospheric dust influences light in the same way as space dust.
The dust disks in Orion, however, process light differently than fine atmospheric dust or space dust. Orion's dust disks appear gray because they allow all colors of light to pass through. This seemingly indiscriminate process is unusual in space and yields clues about the size of the dust in the disks. Astronomers have concluded that the dust is about the size of a snowflake or a piece of gravel, both of which are much larger than space dust.
Planets may have a rough time forming in about 90 percent of the young dust disks in Orion. That's because the disks - which started out being billions of miles across - will wither away within 100,000 years, possibly destroying fledgling planets.
But some astronomers believe that a disk of rocky pebbles may be left behind once the gaseous part of the disk vaporizes away. These rocky disks may be the seeds of terrestrial planets like Earth.
Although most of Orion's disks will dissipate, about 10 percent may remain intact. That's because these disks may be protected somehow from the destructive ultraviolet radiation. Particles in these disks may continue to accumulate until they become full-fledged planets.

Wis. social worker built foster co. from scratch
The owner of a foster care company accused of misusing $6.1 million in taxpayer dollars built his operation from the ground up.
The Wisconsin State Journal reports Dan Simon began Community Care Resources 23 years ago. He built the company into the largest for-profit foster care placement agency in the state, licensing foster parents and contracting with counties to place children in their homes. The newspaper reports the company generates about $6 million in annual revenue.
The state Department of Children and Families has revoked CCR's license. The agency alleges CCR misused tax dollars to inflate salaries, purchase luxury cars and personal travel. Simon has denied the allegations.

This Flowmaster FroceII cat back exhaust makes the perfect sound for my taste. It's not too loud around town. It doesn't drone at cruising speed on the highway. But when you put your foot down, you begin to realize that you do, in fact, have a box of explosions under the hood. I don't own the tools to put in on by myself, but my mechanic had in on in about an hour. Super quick. I think this was a great match for my K&N cold air intake.

The push for clean, renewable energy turned into a stampede on New Year's Eve. The end of the year rush came one day before the state cut the photovoltaic tax credit.
Kapahulu homeowner Nelson Kajioka is cashing in on Hawaii's photovoltaic revolution before the tax credit is gone.
"I wasn't planning to do it till next year, but with the revised tax rules, I talked to Jeff and he advised me of what I can do, and I thought now's the time to do it," said Kajioka.
Many homeowners had the same idea, making New Year's Eve a very busy one for Hawaii's photovoltaic industry.
Jeff Davis, from Solar Services Hawaii, thinks that will end at the stroke of midnight.
"I would imagine to see an enormous drop-off of people pulling permits for photovoltaics, mainly out of the idea that there is no tax credit," said Davis.
But the PV tax credit is not going away. Under new rules, homeowners can still qualify for the 35 percent tax credit by installing PV systems that generate up to 5 kilowatts of energy.
"If you're putting in a small system, it stays just the same. If it's a larger system, the incentives are reduced about 50 percent," said Leslie Cole-Brooks, of the Hawaii Solar Energy Association.
Since the state tax credit is capped at $5,000, many residents will likely settle for a 2.5 kilowatt system, which costs an average of $14,000.
"Thirty-five percent of $14,000 doesn't get you the average PV system that does real work. It'll get you a partial PV system that'll help." said Rick Reed of the Hawaii Solar Energy Association.
Even though the tax credit is being cut, Davis says homeowners can still leverage their investment by installing a smaller PV system as well as a solar hot water heater.
"Work from the bottom up -- change your light bulbs, get a solar hot water, get a PV. It can all be done tomorrow, Jan. 1, with an investment return," said Davis.

CoQ10 is an critcal antioxidant that not only neutralise free radicals, CoQ10 is mainly found in heart, kidney and liver. it is also important in energy production (ATP). CoQ10 also helps the body in many other ways like reducing high blood pressure, cholesterol, reverse neuro,degenerative disease, prevent heart diseases. . Our CoQ10 level in our body declines as we age therefore it's important to supplement with this products. For this product, it is very affordable. Doctor's Best has the best pricings and other companies are selling at much higher prices. The softgels are made of gelatin (not for vegetarian), smaller than the veggie caps and easy to swallow. The CoQ10 is pharmaceutical-grade from Japan so the quality is from a good source. One thing to take note is that CoQ10 is fat-soluable and it comes with extra-virgin olive oil within the softgels so it should not be an issue. In addition, CoQ10 is known to be poor absorbed when taken orally. This product is in the ubiquinone form which means it will still need to be converted to the ubiquinol to be used. If you can also buy ubiquinol but it's much more expensive. Therefore, each pill comes with bioperine which is clincally provided to increase absorption by 31.8%! In addition, bioperine can also aid to increase absorption of other supplements taken at the same time. The instruction is to take 1 caps daily. Imo, 1 caps per daily is too little and you are unlikely to feel anything. I would recommend at least 2 caps per days. 3-4 will be ideal and you can really feel the energy boost at this level. If you take 4 per day, this bottle can last a month and it's not pricey for the benefits. Best kept in refrigerator and the oil component is easily oxidised in hot and humid climate.

The first step to preventing hazardous exposures is to make sure isocyanate levels are within allowable limits. Employees must also be provided with training and any personal protective equipment needed.
Isocyanates are hazardous chemicals that can enter the body when they are breathed in or contact the skin or eyes. This can cause strong irritation and allergic reactions, and also increase sensitivity to even low levels of these chemicals.
Symptoms of allergic reaction and respiratory "sensitization" include rashes, cough, shortness of breath, asthma, chest tightness and other breathing difficulties. Some sensitized people have even died from severe asthma related to exposure.
Isocyanates are used to make polyurethane products including foam, insulation, surface coating, furniture, under-carpet padding, packaging material, laminated fabric, adhesive, etc.
Examples of jobs where isocyanates may be present are:
- Painting vehicles,
- Spraying on coatings such as truck bed-liners,
- Foam-blowing, and
- Manufacturing polyurethane products.
Employers are responsible to identify and control workers' exposure to isocyanates.
Note: The federal Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) has begun a National Emphasis Program (NEP) to address hazards in workplaces with possible isocyanate exposures. L&I has published the Isocyanates National Emphasis Program (NEP) (278 KB PDF) (DOSH Directive 13.50) to implement OSHA's NEP for programmed inspections of workplaces in the state of Washington. A mailer about Washington State's implementation provides more details (339 KB PDF).

I have read Joseph Campbell only in excerpts, but what I've read is consistent in getting across archetypes that are common to various cultures.
My kids are studying excerpts from the Odyssey, and I have wondered for a long time now what the Cyclops themselves could have represented on a spiritual or archetypal level. Why one eye? They are a group without rule, each one of them being a law unto himself with no higher law. Could the single eye somehow represent this? A limited point of view? All solo?
Just wondering...

FWIW, Robert Graves thought the whole one-eye thang was because they wore eyepatches, being blacksmiths and all, to keep sparks out of their eyes. Cyclops means (most likely) round-eye.

well totally non architypal, i read, that the early greek had seen skeletons of elephants (before they ever saw an elephant alive) and mistook the large front nasal cavity for an eye socket and 'constructed' the cyclops myth from that. (they had evidence of some large animal, that had mythical powers, never have seen one, and with only the skull to judge.. came up with cyclops.. (there is the same sort of evidence about 'griffens'--you can google and--there was an article in the early 1990's in archiology magazine about how mythical griffens might have been constructed out of fossilized evidence(of a dinosaur)
elephant aren't found (naturally) north of sahara, and african elephants don't lend themselves to domestication anyway, so the closet elephant that could be domesticated would have been indian.. (and pretty far away.)
there are large game animals who's existance was thought to be fabled until the modern exploration of the interior of africa (ie, late 1800/early 1900's._________________________

As a retired teacher with 35 years behind me and a zillion meetings attended from 1958 to 2008, I have come to appreciate the wisdom of Joseph Campbell and I post this prose-poem written as a quasi-eulogy for/to him.-Ron Price,Australia
"Each individual," write Joseph Campbell, "is the centre of a mythology of his own, of which his own intelligble character is the Incarnate God, so to say, whom his empirically questing consciousness is to find."1 For Baha'is, it seems to me, this Incarnate God is the God within "mighty, powerful and self-subsistent." It is the "know thyself," from Delphi. This centre of mythology is also an unfolding of convictions derived from the effects and expression of experience, the imprintings of infancy and our peculiar and private worlds. This is what Campbell calls our "mythogenic zone." It is our interior life and its communication with others. The poem below explores the negative side of the process across our global society. -Ron Price with thanks to Joseph Campbell, Creative Mythology, Viking Press, 1968, p. 93.
This poetic writing aims
to let the Word resound
behind words1 seemingly
endless words where
my mythogenic zone
is especially informed
by the metaphorical nature
of all of physical reality,
Baha'i history no less
and lived experience.
My innermost need
to express has its place
in my shaping of self
and civilization,
in my particular form
of intoxication.2
And a growing impoverishment
of symbols, spiritual poverty,
symbol-lessness fills the land,
liquidating our past,
with bleak substitutes.
A bland barrenness reaches
all the way to the stars
and history becomes a nightmare
of complex, anarchic confusion,
uninterpreted, unassimilated, alien,
and: a Waste Land fills their place.
1 ibid.,p. 93.
2 Frederick Neitzsche wrote that "for art to exist there is a physiological prerequisite: intoxication." Twilight of the Idols, quoted in Campbell, p.355.

I suppose that's possible of the really early Greeks, however, elephants (of both varieties) were well known to the Greeks, Persians, Carthaginians, Romans and others at least several centuries BC. It seems to me more likely the Cyclops was a literary creation, a fictional monster, rather than a legend pertaining to some real animal.

Yes that's why I said it's possible. But, why doesn't Cyclops have large tusks? All the author in question seems to be quoted as claiming is that "some sources" say the Cyclops has [presumably normal sized] tusks. What sources?
Also of course, though it is most likely Homer lived ca 700-900BC we don't know for sure, since the earliest extant Greek manuscripts are around 2,000 years later, ca 10th or 11th century AD. It is certain that Aristotle taught Homer to Alexander the Great in about 343BC, but I don't know whether there are any earlier literary allusions to his works.
It's possible, but I don't think it's possible to know for sure that the legend was based on ancient archaeological finds. I do find the other hypotheses more convincing, however, regardgin the Griffin, etc.

It's a fact that no one likes the news, and the more news we get, the less we enjoy it. Name a 24-hour news network that isn't constantly the butt of jokes and I'll name my unicorn Phil and he'll fix us drinks that are sweet with the delicious nectar of lies. Lies!
The problem with news is that, aside from it constantly bombarding us, it's often terrible. News is bad about 80 percent of the time, and the remaining 20 percent is a mix of good news and bullshit that was probably made up by the Onion, then picked up by legit news sources. And then, at the end, there's a tiny fraction reserved for stories that are bad and good at the same time, stories that wield irony like a hobo wields stink, that leave you unsure of how you're supposed to feel because they transcend the easy-to-digest formula of regular news and force you to deal with an awful mix of stuff that's somehow wrong and right all at the same time.
4 Westboro Baptist Makes You Like the KKK
Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images News/Getty Images
The Westboro Baptist Church is a 24-hour news network's supercharged wet dream. They're hateful, vocal, and mobile, and they never run out of ways to anger the average viewer. Have you gone into a public restroom and been appalled to discover that some uncouth monstrosity has opted to spatter the walls and floor with a burst of fecal confetti? That substance, along with the way it makes you feel, is basically personified in Westboro.
If you aren't aware, the church is a 40-member hate group based out of Topeka, Kansas. They espouse extreme pseudo-Christian beliefs and are mostly known for their hardcore anti-gay ideology and the fact that they will actively picket the funerals of soldiers, children, and celebrities with signs celebrating the deaths and assorted other colorful shittery plastered on Bristol board. You know those cramps you get if you eat undercooked chicken wings? Like a twisting pain, as though the diarrhea you're moments away from experiencing decided to have a knife fight in your colon? Now imagine those cramps out on the street with colorful signs and a wardrobe from Big Lots. I can't stress enough how much like shit these people are.
Christian Petersen/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images
"Get the DeWalt Worksite Radio/Charger for only $99.99 at Big Lots! Fag NBA sold separately."
To attempt to understand Westboro, try to imagine someone who hears that a soldier has been killed in battle and thinks "Well, thank God!" then makes a sign that says "God Hates Fags" and just goes and stands at that person's funeral, across the country. "Asshole" doesn't even broach the subject. "Douchebag" isn't even in the same ballpark.
Luckily for Westboro, their stunningly ignorant yet repetitive rhetoric is not only legally protected speech, it's the kind of stuff that gets them constant press coverage. And, since several prominent members are lawyers, they've managed to make a decent living off of the proceeds from lawsuits that help fund their shitty little field trips around the country being all googly-kook insane and stirring up shit because apparently none of them have any hobbies whatsoever.
So what's to be done against a prolific hate group that has every legal right to do the awful things they do? The exact same thing they do in the form of a counterprotest. It's become par for the course for groups to arrange counterprotest lines that Westboro won't cross in order to protect families at targeted funerals. A lot of times it seems to be local biker gangs, but in one particular instance, the heroes who rose to the occasion in an effort to thwart Westboro were members of the Ku Klux Klan. Man, this would make for a zany children's book.

It was OK, but the character development isn't there.
As members of Westboro protested the funerals of soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery, a counterprotest headed them off. Dennis LaBonte, himself a veteran and also grand wizard of a KKK chapter, was there to show his support for the fallen soldiers and, along with a handful of other Klan members, wasn't about to let Westboro be such blatant douche nozzles. Presumably any witnesses stood by silent and dumbfounded, fearful that offering support to either side would cause Mexican drug cartels to come and decapitate everyone or, at the very least, aliens and predators to join in and make a scene.
3 Animal Rights Activists Kill Animals

Everyone loves animals, except for heartless old ladies with Dalmatian-fur coats and people whose loved ones have been murdered by ravenous livestock. And it's good to be a friend to our animal neighbors, except for things like gross bugs and most kinds of fish, which have soulless eyes and creepy faces. However, there's definitely something to be said for understanding the best way to help and nurture animals as opposed to just causing a terrible, awful clusterfuck.
At a university lab in Milan, where researchers had been studying genetic psychiatric disorders, animal rights activists busted in to help liberate the poor mice and rats that were being callously experimented on. The protesters destroyed data and freed the little animals so that they might run several steps from their cages and promptly die.

"It's, like, they're free. And, like, sometimes that means dying right away."
Turns out a number of the animals were genetic mutants or had compromised immune systems and can't really live outside their cages. So you can't free them at all, but that's OK, because something something sanctity of life or whatever.
At the end of the raid, the group had to negotiate for the release of the animals. They were allowed to take 100 of the about 800 on site and were promised they could come back later for more, which apparently they believed. That's like the police promising the bank robber that if he releases the hostages, he can keep the money and go home.
So on the one hand, this group struck a blow for ignorant animal lovers everywhere by ensuring that 100 animals are now free to live in sterile cages somewhere outside of the lab they were raised in. On the other hand, this isn't a lot different from activists raiding mink farms and releasing thousands of them, only to have the animals, which are domesticated and rely on machines for food, return to the farm, with the notable exception of all the ones that got killed on highways when they ran up to cars expecting dinner.
Most people understand the desire to stop another living thing from being in pain, or from being killed, but maybe a better way to help those creatures is not by murdering them faster.
