Lyra, a young girl who lives within Jordan, a fictitious Oxford college otherwise full of adult, male scholars, is challenged when she is...
(The entire section is 285 words.)
Lyra and her dæmon, Pantalaimon (Pan), live in Jordan College, the world's preeminent college for practical theology, at Oxford. Although she is the niece of Lord Asriel, Lyra is described as a "barbarian" who spends her days clambering across the roofs of the college with street urchins, including her good friend Roger. She is a liar and is often caught up in mischief, but she is also brave. For example, when The Golden Compass begins, Lyra is snooping in a common room. She knows that Lord Asriel, whose dæmon is a snow leopard, is returning to the college after his latest trip to the North. However, after she sees the Master poison a decanter of wine, Lyra reveals herself to her uncle even though she knows that he may physically punish her.
In return for her warning about the poison, Lord Asriel allows Lyra to hide in a wardrobe during his presentation, even though she has no interest in secret politics, let alone her studies. He explains to the scholars of Jordan College that he has seen a city in the sky. It appears to be another world, which is remarkable because the church has decreed that only two worlds exist: the earth and heaven. This city does not appear to be heaven or even hell. Lord Asriel has also found a way to photograph Dust, and he shows how it has collected around a man. However, Dust does not appear to collect around children, even if they have not been "severed." Lord Asriel receives funding for further exploration and he leaves with little fanfare and little time for Lyra. Afterward, Lyra overhears two of the scholars talking about her, one of them the Master. The Master explains that his "alethiometer" has foreseen that Lyra will travel to the North. He goes on to explain that his attempt to poison Lord Asriel, if successful, would have saved Lyra a little more time, safe at Oxford.
Lyra is unconcerned with alethiometers or Dust. However, she is worried about Gobblers. Many children around Oxford have recently disappeared, and people have come to refer to the mysterious kidnappers as Gobblers. Pullman describes the kidnapping of Tony Makarios. Tony and his dæmon, Ratter, are abducted by a beautiful woman with a golden monkey dæmon. They promise Tony "chocolatl" before leading him and Ratter off. His mother never sees him again.
The kidnappings have become so common that kids now play games in which the Gobblers are villains. Returning home from her games with Roger and her other friends one day, Lyra is taken away by the scholars to wash up. An important visitor has arrived at the college, one Mrs. Coulter. Mrs. Coulter is beautiful, with dark hair. Her dæmon is a golden colored monkey.
Lyra is immediately impressed with Mrs. Coulter, who seems worldly and powerful, especially for a female scholar (female scholars are looked down upon by the scholars of Jordan College). The Master of the college summons Lyra in private and, though he seems uneasy, offers to send her with Mrs. Coulter. He explains that she can offer a young girl a more comprehensive education. Lyra immediately agrees. Before she leaves, he gives her a strange device called an "alethiometer." It looks like a golden compass, with many strange symbols. The Master explains that it will tell Lyra the truth, though she will have to figure out for herself how to read it. The Master cautions Lyra against letting Mrs. Coulter see the alethiometer.
Mrs. Coulter promises to train Lyra so that she can be her personal assistant during her explorations in the North. Lyra cannot wait to learn and to impress her new guardian. However, when they arrive in Mrs. Coulter's home, Pan quickly warns Lyra that Mrs. Coulter is trying to tame them. It seems to be true: Mrs. Coulter has Lyra washing regularly, studying diligently, and dressing prettily. Lyra realizes that she misses running outdoors with her friends. When Lyra attempts to defy Mrs. Coulter's authority, the latter's golden monkey attacks and subdues Pan, hurting him (and by extension, Lyra) until Lyra promises to obey. Fortunately, Lyra is well practiced at lying.
Still, Mrs. Coulter needs Lyra to be on her best behavior since she is throwing a party. During her conversations with Mrs. Coulter's many political acquaintances, Lyra begins to learn many things. It seems that Lord Asriel is at odds with Mrs. Coulter and her allies, and he is being held prisoner by the panserbjørne, or armored bears, of the North. Mrs. Coulter, meanwhile, is in charge of the Oblation Board, which is responsible for kidnapping children. It turns out that the official name of the board is the General Oblation Board, hence the nickname, "Gobblers." However, Mrs. Coulter's allies are confident that the Gobblers are actually a benign, helpful force that fights for good. Everyone is curious about Mrs. Coulter, especially about her personal life. However, Lyra simply lies at will whenever asked about her life and her relationship with Mrs. Coulter.
Before she can find out any more, Pan and Lyra realize that the golden monkey is not watching, so they have an opportunity to escape. They immediately take flight. Before Lyra can get far, she is captured by men with throwing nets. They are Turks, who kidnap children like the Gobblers do, but not for the Oblation Board. Just as she realizes she is caught, Lyra is rescued by gyptians, sea travelers that explain that the Gobblers have taken many of their own children. They offer to take care of Lyra while she makes her escape from Mrs. Coulter's care.
Lyra is traveling with the gyptians, a nomadic people who travel by sea. Lyra meets their king, John Faa, as well as a wise man named Farder Coram. Lyra truthfully explains to them everything that has happened to her since she saw the Master of Jordan College attempt to poison Lord Asriel. She even shows them her alethiometer, and though Farder Coram is aware of the power of the device, he does not attempt to take it from Lyra.
They also explain the truth of Lyra's upbringing. It turns out that Lyra is actually the daughter of Mrs. Coulter, who was married to Edward Coulter at the time. However, her father is Lord Asriel. They explain how Mrs. Coulter attempted to hide Lyra from her husband's wrath, but Lord Asriel ultimately had to challenge him to a duel and kill him with his own pistol. Lyra also learns that Lord Asriel asked the scholars at Oxford to care for her and to protect her from her mother. However, when news arrived that Lord Asriel was being held captive in the North, Mrs. Coulter must have decided that she could collect Lyra. John Faa speculates that Mrs. Coulter must have had some power over the Master or that he must have felt that he was protecting Lyra somehow.
Lyra will be in danger if she is caught by Mrs. Coulter again, but the gyptians are determined to travel into danger anyway. In a public assembly, or "Roping," the king explains that the gyptians should raise a levy of men and money to travel North and rescue the kidnapped children being held by the Gobblers. When Lyra volunteers to come along, John Faa forbids it. However, Lyra decides to attach herself to Farder Coram. Before long, she demonstrates her growing ability to read the alethiometer and when her predictions begin to come true, he convinces John Faa to allow Lyra to accompany them North.
Reading the alethiometer is tricky work. It communicates via symbols, and each symbol has multiple meanings. For example, an hourglass's first meaning is time and its second meaning is death. Scholars and wise men study the alethiometer, but Lyra finds that she can intuit the compass's meaning if she concentrates. One of her predictions is about her mother, but she fails to realize that it is a warning. She and Farder Coram discover that Mrs. Coulter has sent clockwork spy flies after them, which they are able to capture.
Lyra quickly finds her sea legs. She learns the names of everyone on the ship and is learning a great deal about life at sea. She also learns about dæmons. Pan can still change from one form to another, but as people get older, their dæmons settle on a permanent shape. Lyra and Pan agree that they prefer things as they are, but one of the sailors says that, in time, she will come to see things differently. Just as Lyra comes to feel that she could spend the rest of her life at sea, the gyptians arrive and land in Norroway.
Farder Coram says that he once saved the life of a witch whose alliance might be useful in their coming battle with the Gobblers. He and Lyra seek out the witches' counsel, Dr. Martin Lanselius. Dr. Lanselius explains that the Gobblers have passed through his town on their way North but that the townspeople will not readily betray the Gobblers, who bring money into the town. Instead, he suggests that they attempt to gain the cooperation of Iorek Byrnison, an armored bear. Although the armored bears (or panserbjørne) are allied with the Gobblers, Iorek may be of help. However, when they approach the giant bear, he is drinking spirits. He explains that the townspeople stole his armor and now he works metal for them and drinks spirits. Iorek explains that Lyra would understand how he feels without his armor if she were separated from Pan.
Because they are unaware of the location of Iorek's armor, John Faa and Farder Coram are resigned to finding other allies. Fortunately, they succeed. A grey goose arrives. It is Kaisa, the dæmon of the witch Serafina Pekkala. He explains that Serafina has become the queen of one clan of witches, who differ from humans due to their longevity and their ability to send their dæmons far away. The witches are divided amongst themselves and may not be able to help the gyptians. They also find Lee Scoresby, an "aeronaut" from Texas who once fought beside Iorek. Lee distracts the gyptians and has his dæmon, Hester, secretly tell Lyra and Pan to help Iorek. Lyra finds the location of the armor using the alethiometer; Iorek frees himself and allies himself with Lyra.
The gyptians' stop in Norroway has been a great help to their cause. Not only do they find allies and supplies, but they also learn a great deal. The children are being held in Bolvanger. The Gobblers there are performing experiments related to "intercision." They have allied themselves with the panserbjørne, who are keeping Lord Asriel captive so he cannot travel to other worlds. However, the true concern of the Gobblers is not traveling to other worlds; rather, they seek to learn more about Dust, though it remains unclear how the kidnapped children will help.
The gyptians are preparing for their attack and ask Lyra to use the alethiometer to see how the Gobblers are defending their lair. Lyra is able to find the answer, but the compass also tells her that there is a sort of ghost child in a nearby village. At first, John Faa does not see the significance of this information, but he allows Iorek to carry Lyra on his back to see what it is. Along the way they see many witches flying North, though they do not know anything else about them. In the village, Lyra discovers Tony Makarios, a boy who was kidnapped from Oxford. He is grasping a dead fish to his chest in the same way that Lyra holds Pan to her chest. She realizes that he has been separated—"severed"—from his dæmon. This...

Lyra soon finds Roger, who is careful not to give away her true identity. Before long, Lyra has learned about hiding places and is planning to escape and to disrupt the Experimental Station. When a fire drill begins, Lyra and Pan discover Kaisa, who helps them to break into a locked room. Inside, they find cages filled with the severed dæmons of children like Tony. They set the dæmons free. It seems that not even Mrs. Coulter's arrival can disrupt Lyra's plans. That night, Lyra sneaks into the roof to spy on the adults. They are discussing the dæmon escape and Mrs. Coulter is adamant that security be tightened. She is also eager to supervise more intercision procedures. When she leaves the other two Gobblers, Lyra makes a...

Serafina Pekkala is talking with Lee Scoresby. The Texan aeronaut is keen to learn how he will be financially compensated should his transport of Iorek into Svalbard be interpreted as an act of war. The witch queen explains that people are already at war and that both she and Lee are on Lyra's side. She explains to Lyra that Iorek was a prince of the bears but that he wrongly killed a rival bear and was exiled. She goes on to explain that this was a scheme of Iofur Raknison, the current king of the bears. Lyra also declares that she intends to deliver the alethiometer to Lord Asriel and that she will rescue him. Then cliff ghasts attack Lyra and her companions before they arrive.
When Lyra comes to after the attack,...

When Lyra, Roger, and Iorek Byrnison meet with Lord Asriel, they are surprised by his response. When he sees Lyra, he cries out that he did not send for her. However, when he sees Roger, he calms. Lyra, has thought that she was supposed to bring Lord Asriel the alethiometer but discovers that he does not need it. She declares her disappointment in Lord Asriel's parenting, but he only states that he will not be lectured by an insolent child. After hearing the story of her travels, he explains to Lyra what he and Mrs. Coulter have been working toward.
Dust, which does not settle on children until they reach puberty, has been linked to Original Sin. The Magisterium has sought to control Dust, as has Mrs. Coulter through...

cumberland mtn state park crossville tn
since i couldn't get on any rivers today i went up to the state park to see if anyone was catching any of the winter stocked trout......i have been wanting to try my flyrod on the lake .....used my intermediate sinking line and some bead head buggers and a bead head green thing....fourth cast bang fish on .....caught 6 fish and lost 4 as i was bringing them in.....i thought not bad for 2 hours of fishing a fly in the lake....2 other guys there using power bait.....one guy caught 1 fish the other left after about 45 min..... not the same as fishing the rivers but at least i was out there and learned that the rod and flies will take fish in the lake....so if you guys live near one of the winter stocked lakes and the rivers are blown out..... the lake will be a good option to hold down your flyfishing withdrawl lol lol .......i was just letting the flies sink about 10-20 seconds then stripped it back and its a deep lake so don't be detered by depth of the lakes near you.... my guess is the fish either sensed the vibration of the strip saw the fly or were just in the upper water colume.... i would assume most of the stocked lakes have docks, bridges, or some areas of clear shoreline
i fish because the voices in my head tell me to
Dan, that is one of my winter fishing holes. It is definitely not the same as a trip to the Smokies or a tailwater but it is a good option that is close when I just want to fish for an hour or two... Glad you had a good time and hope to see you on the lake sometime!
"Then He said to them, 'Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.'" Matthew 4:19

Web banner image: Richard Caton Woodville (1825–1855), The Cavalier's Return (detail), 1847, Oil on canvas, The New-York Historical Society, Bequest of Kate Warner
Before the origins of radio, social media, and television, our nation's cultural and political views were depicted through art. Featuring forty-five paintings and seven sculptures created by the preeminent artists of the 19th century and on loan from the New-York Historical Society, Making American Taste: Narrative Art for a New Democracy casts new light on both the history of American art and the formation its cultural ideals. Specially, well known artists such as Benjamin West (1738-1820), William Sydney Mount (1807-1868), Eastman Johnson (1824- 1906) among other artists during that time used paintings and objects as powerful mechanisms to tell stories about America and the formulation of ideas of taste. In the accompanying exhibition catalogue, Barbara Dayer Gallati, co-curator and Art Historian, explains the definition of taste from 1830s to the late 1860s as "the power of receiving pleasure from the beauties of nature and art." Making American Taste reveals the visual styles, standards of decorum, and repertoire of knowledge that came to represent cultural refinement to 19th century Americans. The exhibition is presented in six thematic sections that illuminate a broad range from the social and political to the religious, literary, and domestic spheres prevalent during the era. From Thomas Cole's (1801-1848) romanticized nocturnal allegorical painting based on a poem by Lord Byron to Rembrandt Peale's (1778-1860) exquisite portrait of George Washington, our nation's first President; viewers are invited to perceive the principles important to America during a critical period of its formation.
Looking through a contemporary lens, viewers to the exhibition will have a unique opportunity to examine a Post-colonial view of subject matter outlining the origins of our nation's optimism and values, many of which still resonate today.
A fully illustrated 323-page publication published by D Giles Ltd in association with the New-York Historical Society will accompany the exhibition.
This exhibition was organized by the New-York Historical Society. The exhibition was organized and the accompanying volume published with generous support from Michael Reslan, the National Endowment for the Arts through the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act, the Walter and Lucille Rubin Foundation, Richard Gilder and Lois Chiles, the Mr. and Mrs. Raymond J. Horowitz Foundation for the Arts, the New York Community Trust Joanne Witty and Eugene Keilin Fund, Larry K. Clark, and the Barrie A. and Deedee Wigmore Foundation.
This exhibition will be on view in the Medical Facilities of America Gallery and the Temporary Exhibitions Gallery February 22 - May 17, 2014

The second Metra scandal was the charm for the resignation of board member Larry Huggins.
Huggins, who since 1997 has held the seat appointed by the Mayor of Chicago, stepped down last week at Rahm Emanuel's request. His resignation came the day after that of former board Chairman Brad O'Halloran, both of whom were fingered by ousted CEO Alex Clifford in a scathing memo accusing them of trying to force him out for not playing along with patronage hiring and contracting.
The memo was pried loose in the wake of an ongoing inquiry over the $718,000 golden parachute that the board approved for Clifford – a deal that McHenry County's rep on the board, and the sole opposing vote, called hush money.
But if talk of Huggins' resignation sounds familiar, it should, because it was discussed two years ago during a proposed house-cleaning in the wake of the scandal surrounding Clifford's predecessor, the late Phil Pagano.
Pagano in May 2010 stepped in front of a Metra train near his rural Crystal Lake home, just hours before the board was set to fire him after 20 years for fiscal irregularities. An investigation later revealed that Pagano collected more than $475,000 in vacation payouts to which he was not entitled – on at least two occasions he forged former Chairwoman Carole Doris' signature to obtain them.
Accusations flew that the 11-member Metra Board was asleep at the switch when it came to supervising Pagano and had to go, and several lawmakers started turning up the heat by filing bills that would put Metra and the other mass-transit boards under something resembling adult supervision. Representatives of the collar counties, each of which get to appoint one member, met in June 2011 with four senior Democratic state senators at the offices of Cook County Board Chairwoman Toni Preckwinkle.
A memo from that meeting outlined an agreement reached in which five representatives would "retire" by summer 2012, because they were around long enough to bear some responsibility for not watching Pagano closely enough. They included Huggins, McHenry County representative and Metra Board Treasurer Jack Schaffer, Cook County representative Arlene Mulder, Kane County representative Caryl Van Overmeiren, and Lake County representative James LaBelle.
Doris, who represented DuPage County, had resigned three months prior to the meeting. Van Overmeiren stepped down a month after the meeting at the request of then-Kane County Board Chairwoman (and now state Senator) Karen McConnaughay.
But former McHenry County Board Chairman Ken Koehler did not ask for Schaffer's resignation, and said he would not bow to what he called political pressure from state Rep, Jack Franks, a vocal critic of the area's mass-transit boards. Likewise, Mulder is still on the Metra Board at the pleasure of the Cook County Board, and may be a contender to be the next Metra Board chairman – the third in two years if you're keeping track. The Lake County Board replaced LaBelle earlier this year after his term expired.
(Since the Metra Board's expansion in 2008 to 11 members, one each comes from the collar counties, the Cook County Board chairman and the Chicago mayor, and the Cook County Board gets four more based on geography.)
The concern of the Republican suburbs, my sources had told me at the time, was that they didn't want to enable a Chicago and Cook County power play by asking their members to step down and creating a power vaccum that Chicago would swoop in and fill. The suburbs had traditionally held the Metra Board chairmanship, and were protective of it as a bulwark against the city-dominated CTA and Pace.
Critics pointed to the fact that Chicago did not participate in the meeting, and that Preckwinkle in a subsequent letter opposed dismissing Huggins.
Regardless, critics' fears came to pass. After a year and a half with an acting chairman, the board elected O'Halloran, a Cook County Board appointee, in November 2012.
This next selection process could be equally protracted. Four Metra Board members have stepped down over this mess, leaving seven. Eight votes are needed under Metra's rules to elect a chairman. The other two resignations, just like the Pagano scandal, came from the the representatives of Kane and DuPage counties.
Of course, this begs the question that if the Metra Board is as messed up as a soup sandwich regardless of whether a city Democrat or a suburban Republican is holding the reins, maybe it's time for the Metra Board to go bye-bye in favor of something else. Bills filed in the past went nowhere, and we'll see, like Huggins' resignation, whether the second scandal is the tipping point.
As for Schaffer, the Clifford scandal has offered him redemption of sorts from the Pagano era. He was the sole opposing vote to Clifford's severance – he voted "hell, no" – and has since been blowing the whistle on the whole sordid mess behind it. His term expires next June and he said he does not intend to seek reappointment.
This doesn't mean that the McHenry County Board won't have any exciting and fun-filled debates regarding mass transit until next summer. It's due to make an appointment to the board of the Regional Transportation Authority, which has financial oversight of Metra. Longtime GOP powerbroker Al Jourdan's term expired back in April, but he is still serving until a vote is taken, which is legal under state statute.
What's County Board Chairwoman Tina Hill's plan? Pick up tomorrow's paper.

Move over Atkins and Jennie Craig! My new City-By-City diet (copyright pending) is sure to take America (or at least eastern New Mexico and West Texas) by storm and make me millions of dollars (or make me fatter).
Life has taken me in a full circle, actually, more like a weird-shaped little triangle, from Portales to Hobbs and across the state line to Abilene, Texas, and back. And with each new stop, I've acquired more baggage, as in pounds, with the most notable gain between the time I two-stepped into Texas in 2000 and the almost two years of junk fooding since I've been back in P-Ville.
But alas, I've decided to leave behind this excess baggage once and for all. Jennie Craig charges per every pound you lose. With my unique City-By-City diet, I'll charge per town that you lose. I'll explain more later.
Before you start my City-By-City diet, you'll need a personal trainer. I strongly recommend an obnoxious teenager, like the one who lives with me, eats all of my food and always asks to drive my car. Obnoxious teenagers make great personal trainers. Take them clothes shopping with you and they'll say things like, "You're going to buy that?" or "You look like a granny in that!" In laymen's terms, "Lose some weight, Momma!"
Grandmas also make great personal trainers. I'll never forget the time I overheard Grandma say to Mom, thinking I didn't understand Spanish, but I understood enough, "La Elena esta muy gorda!" Grandma was saying I was fat. This sent me off to my room in tears, determined to lose weight. Of course I didn't lose weight. But If I had hired Grandma as my personal trainer back then and had her say this every day, I would have lost weight long ago.
I started losing weight in July when I got up to a record 135 pounds. This may not sound like a lot, but when you're short and compact like me, every 5 pounds gained looks like a little sack of sugar sticking out of your tummy and thighs. Before I had my daughter Laura, I weighed 99 pounds, so I've gained more than one-third of my ideal weight.
I've shed 13 pounds so far but it may not look like it because I'm still losing my "Portales weight." I was excited after losing my first 10 pounds, only to be disappointed when I tried on an old suit and it still didn't fit. That's when I came up with this City-By-City diet.
I realized I was still losing my "Portales weight" and that this outfit was a "Level 2" or an "Abilene" outfit. I still had to get through my Abilene weight. So although it didn't look like I was making progress, I was, one city, perhaps one state, at a time.
In about 5 more pounds, I'll begin losing my "Abilene weight." I hope it's as much fun losing as it was gaining.
In Abilene, I quickly discovered Tex-Mex cuisine didn't stack up to New Mexico's hot chile. But low and behold, I discovered world famous Texas barbecue. As if that wasn't incentive enough, my editor in Abilene assigned me to write restaurant reviews. Part of my job description as a restaurant critic was to eat desert, too.
After I lose my "Abilene weight," I'll tackle my "Hobbs weight." Ah, the many mouth-watering "sizzlers" I had at Luna's Drive-in and the heavy bowls of menudo at El Caballero.
After I lose my "Hobbs weight," I'll reach my goal of 100 pounds (Hey, I'm entitled to gain 1 pound). Then I'll be back to my original Portales weight. Well maybe not my original Portales weight. That would be somewhere between 5 and 6 pounds when I was born at Roosevelt General. But I will be down to an "ideal" weight.
So how am I losing weight? It's more a matter of will than self-control at this point in my life. I've tried to lose weigh before. It just wasn't a priority. I'd get motivated for the wrong reasons and quit. Now my motivation is simple. I just want to lose weight to prove to myself I have the will power. Not to impress anyone. I feel like my life is finally on track. I'm working toward some of my biggest goals, so I figured I might as well lose weight, too.
No more Coke and popcorn bashes. Just eating healthy and exercising a couple of times a week. To my delight, I suddenly feel more focused now, too. That makes losing weight city by city a piece of cake — but without the cake, of course.

|Title: Requirements for Testing Human Blood Donors for Evidence of Infection Due to Communicable Disease Agents
|Abstract: In multiple rulemakings, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the biologics regulations by removing, revising, or updating specific regulations applicable to blood, blood components, Source Plasma, and blood-derivative products to be more consistent with current practices and to remove unnecessary or outdated requirements. This action is based on FDA's comprehensive review of the biologics regulations. It is also based on reports by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Government Reform and Oversight's, Subcommittee on House Resources and Intergovernmental Relations, the General Accounting Office, and the Institute of Medicine, as well as on public comments. The remaining subjects intended to be addressed in the rulemakings include: labeling of blood and blood components and donor eligibility requirements. These actions are intended to help ensure the continued safety of the Nation's blood supply.

Re: Here comes Steve Addington....its official!!
Grubb is narrowing down his options: Darian Grubb will take his seat at the head table in Las Vegas this Friday night as 2011's Sprint Cup Champion Crew Chief. His future after that, however, remains a question mark. Grubb provided few details in an interview for Wednesday night's NASCAR Performance Live broadcast on MRN Radio. "I'm definitely going around, talking to a lot of people and trying to decide what direction I want to go in," Grubb said. "I've talked to pretty much everybody in the garage area at some point. I've got it narrowed down to a couple of choices now and I'm trying to make the best out of that situation and see what I want to do. I wish them the best there with everything they're doing at Stewart-Haas Racing, but I'll be moving on hopefully to greener pastures somewhere else."(Motor Racing Network)(11-29-2011)
That answers that.

Khloe Kardashian Stuns In A Strapless Lace Mini Dress In Miami
Usually it's Kim that draws all the attention when the Kardashian clan gets together, but Khloe was the one who stood out in Miami on Wednesday.
We spotted the reality star with her make-up artist Scotty Cunha going out for coffee during a break from a photoshoot for U.K. women's store Dorothy Perkins. Khloe, Kim and Kourtney were all posing for the shoot.
Khloe wore a sexy black and white strapless dress from her Sear's Kardashian Kollection with strappy black sandals. She carried a Louis Vuitton clutch and wore bright red nail polish, highlighting her giant diamond wedding ring. Khloe, who has often been criticized for her weight (her mom has even called her fat), looks pretty darn good.
The reality star is reportedly in talks to co-host "The X Factor" alongside Mario Lopez.

Conference sows entrepreneurial seeds for growthBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | March 25,2013CASTLETON - Lawrence Miller knows something about entrepreneurship. Before his current job as secretary of the Agency of Commerce and Community Development, Miller started Otter Creek Brewing.
But getting to the point where the Middlebury brewery could be considered a success had its challenges, Miller told the 200 attendees at an all-day business conference at Castleton State College on Monday.
Miller was one of a number of speakers and workshops that focused on practices to help new businesses and budding entrepreneurs.
Rutland business leaders started off the Grow Your Business Over-Easy seminar with a pitch on why the city and the area is an ideal place to do business, including the city's pro-business attitude, workforce and transportation infrastructure.
They pointed to a series of recent positive developments anchored by Green Mountain Power's new Energy Innovation Center in the heart of the downtown.
Brennan Duffy, executive director of the Rutland Redevelopment Authority, gave a short Power Point presentation ticking off a list of what the city has to offer.
"Strategic location, lower cost real estate, a strong workforce, robust infrastructure, business friendly environment and a great quality of life," Duffy said
He said there are financial incentives available including commercial and industrial tax stabilization.
In terms of job growth, Duffy said while the county has lost jobs in the last decade the city has experienced 4 percent job growth.
"That's a positive sign for the city," he said.
In discussing the Vermont economy, Miller said "income improvement" has not kept pace with the cost of living. "That needs to change," he said. "We need better wages, we need better income, we need it across the spectrum."
Miller said the problem is that while companies are more productive, those companies are doing it with fewer workers.
"So what do we need, we need more firms," he said. "How do we get more firms, we need more entrepreneurs and that's what a day like this is all about."

Cancer care in the U.S. versus Europe: Is more necessarily better?
The U.S. is widely known to have the highest health care expenditures per capita in the world, and not just by a little, but by a lot. I'm not going to go into the reasons for this so much, other than to point out that how to rein in these costs has long been a flashpoint for debate. Indeed, most of the resistance to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), otherwise known in popular parlance as "Obamacare," has been fueled by two things: (1) resistance to the mandate that everyone has to buy health insurance, and (2) the parts of the law designed to control the rise in health care costs. This later aspect of the PPACA has inspired cries of "Rationing!" and "Death panels!" Whenever science-based recommendations are made that suggest ways to decrease costs by reevaluating screening tests or decreasing various tests and interventions in situations where their use is not supported by scientific and clinical evidence, whether by the government or professional societies, you can count on it not being long before these cries go up, often from doctors themselves.
My perspective on this issue is that we already "ration" care. It's just that government-controlled single payer plans and hybrid private-public universal health care plans use different criteria to ration care than our current system does. In the case of government-run health care systems, what will and will not be reimbursed is generally chosen based on evidence, politics, and cost, while in a system like the U.S. system what will and will not be reimbursed tends to be decided by insurance companies based on evidence leavened heavily with business considerations that involve appealing to the largest number of employers (who, let's face it, are the primary customers of health insurance companies, not individuals insured by their health insurance plans). So what the debate is really about is, when boiled down to its essence, how to ration care and by how much, not whether care will be rationed. Ideally, how funding allocations are decided would be based on the best scientific evidence in a transparent fashion.
The study I'm about to discuss is anything but the best scientific evidence.

I have a seven and a half month old angel and need help finding a solution to his night time discomfort. I have watched him go from being a good night time sleeper before solids to waking up off an on every night for the last couple of months. I have tried everything I can think of and followed the advice of pediatricians and nothing seems to help him. I have only ever breastfed him and he refuses a bottle. He has not quite learned to manuever a cup and mostly just plays with it.
I have cut out all things rice, bananas, sweet potato, carrots, peas, green beans, and winter squash.
We took me and him off of dairy/soy (he was eating yogurt), but that didn't help.
He sometimes has constipation issues, but other times he doesn't. No matter what though, he wakes up throughout the night with gas pain and cannot rest until he "works" it out.
We have been told he has GERD and he is on Previcid. The GI specialist attributed the probelm to constipaion and put him on Miralax, but while this made it easier for him to poop, it did not help with gas. We have tried Mylicon drops and colic tablets, but while they help, they don't do enough. We have done bicycle legs and massage, but like meds it just isn't enough!
This week we switched him to barley cereal and we're mixing in oat bran. We are limiting his other foods to prunes, pear, peach, plum, avacado, and yogurt w/o pectin added.
Please, please if you have gone through this and have any suggestions other than what I have already tried we would be eternally grateful for the help.

Berkeley's garlicky food revolution: Stories within stories
If it's true that "Garlic is as good as ten mothers," the title of Les Blank's 1980 film, my question is: why anyone would want ten mothers? For most people I know, and speaking for myself, one good mother was plenty. Evidently this is not the case with garlic, about which, for its fanatical fans, there is no such thing as too much.
So when Blank's cinematic homage to never-enough-garlic was screened on a recent Sunday at the Pacific Film Archive as part of a Les Blank retrospective, aging but loyal garlic-heads, including yours truly, showed up to marinate, yet again, in the stinking rose's aromatic magic.
When my Book of Garlic was published in 1974 under the nom de plume Lloyd J. Harris, it luckily caught Les Blank's eye (and nostrils). The book, which had been inspired by my brief stint as a waiter at Chez Panisse during its first hectic days in 1971, proclaimed a garlic revolution in America and popularized the ancient Roman word for garlic, "stinking rose." … Continue reading »

By Sharna Johnson: CNJ staff writer
A state lawmaker is pulling a proposal to classify all pit bulls and rottweilers as dangerous dogs.
State Rep. John Heaton said Friday he's been persuaded by negative public reaction.
said he will offer a substitute bill, minus the breed specification,
when the bill is scheduled for a House Consumer & Public Affairs
Committee hearing Saturday.
Heaton, of Carlsbad, said the bill he introduced Feb. 9 cannot legally be changed until it is presented to committee.
Heaton's proposal sought to redefine the state's Dangerous Dog Act to specifically include rottweilers and pit bulls.
Heaton's original proposal, pit bulls and rottweilers would have been
restricted to their own property except when receiving medical care.
Owners also would have been required to submit to random property
inspections and maintain $250,000 liability insurance coverage.
outcry and a change of heart by a constituent who initially lobbied him
for legislation led to the planned retraction, Heaton said.
"Not every pit bull is a dangerous dog, there are a lot that are very gentle pets," he said.
outcry over the proposed restrictions for pit bulls and rottweilers
showed him, "people are very passionate about their pets."
said the bill was originally inspired by one of his constituents whose
miniature horses were mauled by a pit bull while the dog's owners
looked on.
The woman spent $63,000 to rehabilitate her horses, which
are still suffering from the incident, and lobbied Heaton for
legislation restricting dangerous dog breeds.
"I really didn't want
to put breed specifications in there but my constituent wanted to and
was insisting on it. I tried to talk her out of it," he said.
"My heart was never to put it in, but because she'd been through such a traumatic event, I let her instruct the bill."
said the substitute bill will still seek to require owners of dogs
deemed dangerous by existing law to maintain $250,000 liability
insurance, submit to property inspections and photographs or permanent
marking of their pet.


text: I'm worried that my 5 wk old is latching poorly. She is gaining weight, this week she went from 7 lb 9 oz to 8 lb. already in 5 days but I think she's taking a lot of nipple and not enough areola. I cant tell if her bottom lip is out either, nor can i get my finger in there to flip it. She has plenty of wet diapers too. I do not have any nipple pain, but sometimes after nursing the nipple comes out very extended. She also feeds very frequently often 1.5-2 hrs for long periods of the day. Overall she is good at night, feeding a little less most nights up to 4-5 hrs without. We just weaned off nipple shields a week ago. I got her off using a cross cradle hold on a nursing pillow but over the last few days I've been trying a cradle hold because it seems more natural/comfortable. Do you think I have anything to be worried about? I have had a tough road getting things going so I think I may be being too hard on myself. Thoughts on her latch/progress? I go to a breastfeeding group on Tuesday taught by a lactation nurse so I can have her look then too. Thanks for your help.

Colm Feore bowl up for auction for Empty Bowls charity
Apr 15/13| For Immediate Release
Suzanne Luke, Curator
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO Wilfrid Laurier Universitys Robert Langen Art Gallery will host its third Empty Bowls charity event, featuring a silent auction for a celebrity bowl created by American-Canadian actor Colm Feore. The event takes place on Lauriers Waterloo campus Thursday, May 16.
Empty Bowls is a long-running annual fundraiser for the Food Bank of Waterloo Region organized by the Waterloo Potters Workshop and the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery. Lauriers involvement began in 2011 when it hosted a special parallel event to celebrate the universitys 100th anniversary.
This year, members of the Waterloo Potters Workshop will again create 100 bowls for the Laurier event. Participants will have the chance to pick their bowls, which will then be washed and readied for the five gourmet soups provided by Lauriers Food Services and ARAMARK Canada at the event in Lauriers Theatre Auditorium from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. while the Tim Louis Jazz Trio performs. This years event also includes two door prizes of $100 gift certificates donated by the Laurier Bookstore.
This is the gallerys third year hosting Empty Bowls and I am thrilled that our Laurier community has shown such support and enthusiasm for this initiative, said Suzanne Luke, curator of the Robert Langen Art Gallery. Not only do we annually raise more than $4,000 for The Food Bank of Waterloo Region, but also through this event we give a voice to the issues surrounding hunger in our region.
Earlier this year Feore spent an afternoon at the Waterloo Potters Workshop making his bowl for the auction, which begins online Wednesday, April 3 at https://web.wlu.ca/emptybowls. Feore was born in Boston, Massachusetts, but grew up in Windsor, Ontario. He has performed in more than 20 Stratford Festival productions and appeared in numerous film, theatre and television productions in Canada and abroad, including Thor, Trudeau, The Sum of All Fears and 24.
The bowls will be on exhibition in the Robert Langen Art Gallery May 8-15, from noon to 5 p.m. (except Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12). Tickets for the event are $40 and go on sale Wednesday, April 3. Tickets must be purchased in person at the gallery by cash or cheque (payable to Wilfrid Laurier University). For more information, contact Suzanne Luke at firstname.lastname@example.com.

An International Incident
A friend of mine came into town from Venezuela a week ago and she came bearing gifts. The first thing she handed me was a thoughtful yet dangerous history of the American cocktail. So many recipes, so little time. Next up was what is surprisingly my first Scrabble set.
But the final item, although the smallest, was really what got me excited. It's a calendar handed out by the US embassy in Caracas where each month features a different Venezuelan major leaguer. Of course there was the requisite Johan Santana and K-Rod but when I reached November and Miguel Cabrera swinging a bat, that was when I realized just how great of a gift it was.
I didn't realize how amazing it was, though, until I turned the final page to an unknown pitcher for the Tigers. Well, unknown at the time. In the last couple days I think the entire country, even someone who has never watched a baseball game in their life, now knows who Armando Galarraga is.
And with all the events of the last couple days, I got to thinking. Despite MLB's reliance on Venezuelan superstar players, relations
between the two countries are not exactly warm. Was it possible that Joyce's blown call at first base was actually a conspiracy? Was this a subtle thumbing of the nose toward the often belligerent president of Venezuela? And if so, why, two days later, has Mr. Chavez still not weighed in on the subject?
We don't have answers to these questions but with the weekend approaching and another edition of El Presidente's weekly diatribe, "Alo Presidente", set to hit the airwaves, you can be sure he'll have something to say. And as always, we here at RSBS will make sure to keep you updated on all the events. Well, unless we get sucked into that first gift. Who knew you could do so much with whiskey, sugar and a lemon?
Special thanks to L for the calendar and all the other gifts. Be safe down there.

That book is priceless, keep it away from Jeff and eBay, it has even more value if you live near the beach, maybe you do, so many mixers can have happy endings on the beach… memories…oouch! back to present day… conspiracies I love conspiracies…
Got to love a friend bearing gifts.
American cocktail guide, impressive…Scrabble set…. she sees the intelligence…But a Venezuelan baseball calendar with Miggy in it……she is a "keeper" friend.
There are some great baseball talents from that oil-rich country, and most MLB teams have been smart to expand their scouting and Winter team to that countries locale.
I bet there was not Rays catcher Dioner Navarro month…unless they have a Krispy Kreme down there….You can not have a picture of the Stay-Puff man without a donut….Ask Homer!
Rays Renegade
I think Joyce sounded pretty sincere in his apology. Selig is the one I have a problem with for not over turning it. I don't think there is one fan, coach, player, announcer, or umpire who wouldn't like to see Galarraga get credit for what he earned.

Many of the area county leaders are issuing burn bans and Bee County is expected to follow suit.
David Morgan, emergency management coordinator for Bee County, said that he expects the burn ban to be on next week's commissioners court agenda.
"The problem we have right now is because we had some recent rains that were pretty substantial, we have some high grass that now turning brown and becoming more of a fire hazard," Morgan said. "We certainly recommend they don't do any brush burning but right now it is still legal for them to do that."
The dry grass has helped fuel several fires throughout this and the neighboring counties.
Last Thursday morning, Bee County firemen were called north because of a grass fire in the Pawnee.
Darrell Phillips, Normanna fire chief, said that several departments were called to the fire; however, Pawnee volunteers had most of it extinguished before they arrived.
"Pawnee took care of 90 percent of it," Phillips said.
Reports are that the fire was started by a trailer traveling along Farm-to-Market Road 673 causing sparks.
"We never found the vehicle," Phillips said.
That Wednesday afternoon, another fire was sparked just north of the county line in Karnes, this time by a road crew hitting a power line.
"It's a wonder they didn't get killed," said nearby resident Robert Horne, who has a home nearby.
The sparks from that downed line ignited the dry grass along the roadway.
"Those two county boys they tried to put it out," Horne said.
The fire spread quickly jumping into Horne's coastal field.
"Me and my wife tried to put it out," he said. "It burnt about 70 areas and got some of my fences."
First on the scene was Charlie Davis, construction foreman, for Talisman Energy who called 911.
Converging on the area were firefighters from Kenedy, Karnes City along with reinforcements from J4 Fluid services to transport water from the Regmund family frac pond. Davis was even able to get graders in to help stop the fire.
Earlier in the day, another fire sparked in Refugio County.
This time it was along Highway 77 and State Highway 239.
Crews from at least seven area departments were called in to help with that fire.
These fires prompted Karnes County officials to call for an emergency burn ban.
Also, as of last week, Goliad and Refugio county were both under burn bans.
Bee County is currently not under a burn ban.

Heard one song off it... Fucking killer, can't wait for this! Gonna end up being album of the year for sure.
Written by garmling on 18.05.2011 at 13:58
well it had all the potential to be album of the year until the last two songs spit out of my stereo...Sadistic Gratification and Spill My Blood are two worst songs Autopsy ever wrote, and together they are more than 15 minutes long!!! and why Eric Cutler needs to sing on 3 songs (these two included)? His voice suck, like some Abscess/Impetigo mouth shitting....

Some good moments, some bad moments. An excellent album overall for fans of the band and old school grimy death metal in general.
For newcomers I'd recommend their back catalog, however. There's much to be learned from Mental Funeral.

The problem I have with it is that it's too long and a bit too slick sounding.

Haven't heard it that much. But I believe the last song is kind of filler. They could have ended the album nicely with the long track, Sadistic Gratification.
I like the sound though. One of the best comebacks I've heard in Death Metal. No bullshit clear Death Metal.

Don't get me wrong, in general I think it's a good album but could have better had it been shortwer and had it sounded grimier and more evil.

Could you explain to me why MF is generally considered better than say, Severed Survival?

Man faces felony count of heroin possessionNovember 15,2013MANCHESTER A local man is facing a felony charge of possession of heroin, which police said they found while searching for a 17-year-old girl who had been reported missing Tuesday.
Lamar James, 23, of Manchester, pleaded innocent to the charge in Bennington criminal court Wednesday. He is currently being held at the Rutland jail on $10,000 bail.
In an affidavit, Cpl. James Blanchard of the Manchester Police Department said a man came to the Manchester police station Tuesday around 11 p.m. to report that his daughter had not been home in two days.
The man said he had talked to some of his daughters friends and believed she was at a Depot Street motel in Manchester with James. The man also told police that his daughters friends believed James was a known drug dealer, which caused him to be worried about his daughters safety.
With Sgt. Josh Epstein, of the Winhall Police Department, Blanchard went to the motel where they found the girl, who they recognized from a photo supplied by her father, in a room with James.
Epstein saw what he believed to be a bag of marijuana in an open desk drawer.
James gave police permission to search the room, according to Blanchard. In the search, Epstein found 16 bags of what police believed was heroin.
Epstein said he also found multiple empty bags in a trash can that once contained heroin.
The bags were labeled Black Magic. Blanchard said the contents of one of the bags were field-tested and returned a positive indication that what was inside was heroin.
The estimated total weight of the alleged heroin was about 510 milligrams.MORE IN This Just InBARRE TOWN Firefighters faced a collection of adverse conditions as a house on Granitville Road...

Employment Laws Protect Live-In Domestic Workers
More than a million and a half domestic workers labor in U.S. households. Many have limited English skills and aren't aware of employment laws designed to protect them.
Like many domestic workers, Vilma Serralta lived in her employer's home. For four years, the 71-year old immigrant from El Salvador labored 80 hours a week as a live-in housekeeper and nanny in the Atherton home of Silicon Valley entrepreneur Sakhawat Khan and his wife Roomy, a private investor.
Particularly in large metropolitian areas, domestic workers are disproportionately immigrants to the United States. For example, in a 2007 study of domestic workers in the San Francisco Bay Area, fully 99% of survey respondents were born overseas. Almost all are women. Typical of many such workers, Ms. Serralta's limited English skills and lack of familiarity with her legal rights made her particularly vulnerable to employer abuse. She was paid a monthly salary equivalent to between $3 and $4 per hour—far below the minimum wage at the time of $6.75 per hour. Although she was regularly required to work 14 hours a day, six or seven days per week. in the couple's nearly 10,000-square-foot home, she received no overtime pay.
"I worked very hard for the family and cared for their daughter like she was my own. … I didn't do this for revenge, I simply wanted justice. I do not want anyone else to go through what I did."
—Vilma Serralta
When Serralta was abruptly fired in 2006, she sought legal assistance from the Legal Aid Society–Employment Law Center and La Raza Centro Legal, Inc. The two organizations filed suit in U.S. District Court, claiming that her employers had violated federal and state worker protection laws.
When Serralta's lawyers presented the court with evidence that the Khans had forged key evidence in an attempt to mount a defense, the Khans chose to settle rather than face a jury trial.
"The laws protecting workers are powerful and employers who violate these laws do so at their own peril," said LAS–ELC Senior Staff Attorney Christopher Ho, who was lead counsel for Ms. Serralta.
According to the 2007 report about domestic workers in the Bay Area, "Behind Closed Doors: Working Conditions of California Household Workers", 90 percent of respondents reported they worked overtime but did not receive overtime pay.

The God of Small Things
Now, when you read that title you probably thought I was referring to the well-reviewed, over-hyped and altogether underwhelming book written several years ago by Ms. Arundhati Roy. But that's not it. In fact, I hate that book. Seriously, it's a two minute story that takes her 200 pages to tell. The girl died and India has a lot of problems. Why not just say that? I mean, get to the point all ready. You're not Proust and I'm not impressed….uh, where was I? Oh, right. The god of small things. See, in my world this refers to something much simpler: the joy that can be taken from seemingly insignificant events that come to mean something more.
The past week has been replete with these sorts of happenings. As a fan of the Tigers I can't help but be tickled by Brandon Inge's early season heroics. Homeruns in each of the first three games? Stellar defense? What's not to love? I don't expect this continue all season long but these small things keep us going.
Similarly, despite my intense dislike of the Yankees, I still enjoyed Nick Swisher's inning on the mound. It doesn't hurt when the deficit is double digits and the Rays are going all Dresden on the Yankees' sorry ^sses. But I enjoy watching a guy like Swisher volunteer for an unenviable task like that. The fact that he ended up with far and away the best ERA on the team only adds to my enjoyment.
Even little things like knowing how much Jeff must have been squirming while the Pirates beat up his Cardinals on opening day gives me a thrill. However, my plan today is to return the favor, to introduce you all to the god of small things. And here it is, courtesy of YouTube. You don't have to like the song or the format but you can't help but smile when a dowdy, middle-aged woman who only asks to be given a chance finally gets it. Enjoy!

Haha. I remember watching Wade Boggs pitch an inning or so for the Rays right before he retired. It's hilarious when that happens. You have to imagine the batters that get out are humiliated.
Gabe Kapler getting struck out by Nick Swisher. That was kinda cool.
I saw that video earlier today. She's epically wonderful. I love her! She made me cry, she was so wonderful. 🙂
Got bigger things to squirm about these days, Al… like inured aces and depleted bullpens… y'know?
Loved that woman in the video and I hope she goes far in her singing career, even if her voice does remind me of Celine Dion's.
Great Video!

Find out what market changes have led the decline of wide-format inkjet printing equipment purchases and what graphics producers can do to remain competitive.
This research was conducted in April of 2005 and unveiled a new and troublesome trend for printer manufacturers: The number of shops looking to buy their first wide-format inkjet printer has reached its lowest point in ten years. The population of potential new users is currently very small, so printer manufacturers need to compete against one another for existing customers. Of the non-user shops we surveyed, only 8% have any plans to adopt wide-format inkjet technology and buy a printer in the next year. So if you don't have one of these printers and don't feel you need one, you are not alone.
There were several specific reasons mentioned for this, including the financial benefit of outsourcing, the dramatic learning curve (or perhaps the learning "cliff") required for using this new technology, the complexity of what supplies work with which printers, the fact that inkjet is simply outside these remaining shops' core businesses, and the belief that there are already enough shops with inkjets to satisfy market demand. I would have a difficult time arguing against some of these reasons.
To add insult to injury, the purchasing trend for new printers within the established wide-format inkjet user base also is falling. For example, in 2003 an average 44% of the shops surveyed were planning a new wide-format inkjet purchase in the next 12 months. In 2004, this number dropped to 29%. And in our most recent survey for 2005, only 12% of shops surveyed are planning a new wide-format inkjet purchase. This trend is unfortunately one that applies to all US market segments—screen printers, photo labs, and sign shops alike.
From a unit sales perspective, it is fair to say that the market has clearly passed its peak. The waves of new printer models and even new manufacturers that flooded the market in 1998 and again in 2000 have long passed. The tide now appears to be running out, and many manufacturers have had to result to price cutting to keep up sales volumes. This has especially impacted the suppliers of aqueous inkjet printers.
Despite these decreases, thousands of printers still are sold here in the US, and I'm definitely not forecasting an utter market collapse here. But what exactly are shops buying and printing? Well, it depends on the shop. It's fair to say that the overall market picture today is much different than in past years.

Did anybody happen to see this recent flag day message on OpenSolaris?
Solaris now understands Logical Drives in Extended Partitions. That means, Solaris can now be installed in extended partitions and it can also mount them.
Most of the systems comes pre-installed with Windows leaving only extended partitions for multiboot. Linux supported extended partition for a long time. This feature should have been in Solaris by the time the OpenSolaris distro was released. Well, better late than never..
