The London Gazette: Not Just the Brave and the Bankrupt
Family History specialist Audrey Collins discusses how researchers can get the most out of the London Gazette, Britain's oldest continually-published newspaper. From its first edition, produced in Oxford in November 1665 while London suffered through the plague, it became well-known as the source for official notices. This treasure trove for family and local historians and can reveal details of gallantry awards, notices of bankruptcy, changes of name, and much more.

Slain Madison woman remembered with "Run for Jenny"
Jenny Boyce was athlete and health advocate
Friends and family remember a murdered Madison woman by engaging in the activity she loved the most.
Though Jenny Boyce was murdered earlier this year, her work as an athlete and health advocate lives on.
During Sunday's "Run for Jenny," Boyce's loved ones shared memories and a singular message: "Be the Change."
Though those Boyce left behind pledged to be strong in her honor, many were obviously still shaken and shocked at her passing.
In January, one day before their divorce was supposed to have been finalized, Boyce's estranged husband broke into her Milwaukee Street home, killing her and then later killing himself.
On Sunday, in some very pink footwear ("The socks were sort of one of Jenny's trademarks," said organizer Jennie Mauer), this group of runners remembered.
Emily Siegrist had previously trained with Boyce for the Ironman.
But on Sunday she picked a slower pace around Lake Waubesa in order to reflect on her friend.
"I was at work when I found out about her death, and I was honestly shocked," remembered Siegrist.
But during her run, Siegrist remembered the good times. "It was a really great experience to have someone like her by my side," she said.
"When you have a second to reflect how lucky you were to have gotten to know them, so really just a mix of emotions, but I'm just really glad that I got to be her friend," agreed Mauer.
At the 5K halfway mark, a group of nine, ten, and eleven-year olds reminded everyone why they were running by breaking out into a "Run for Jenny" chant.
Boyce was planning to coach a Girls on the Run of Dane County team at the time of her death, so all of the money raised over the weekend went to that organization.
And at the finish line, runners were encouraged to do a "burpie."
Because, organizers said, that's what Jenny would have wanted.
More than 170 people came out to "Run for Jenny," raising $6,000 for Girls on the Run of Dane County.

You can't always tell what's in your food by what's on the label. Check out 15 disgusting ingredients and other things lurking in common foods.
1. Beaver anal gland juice (Castoreum) in vanilla and raspberry flavoring.
Castoreum is made from secretions that come from the castor sacs of a beaver's anus. This flavoring is used in many vanilla and raspberry flavorings. You usually won't see castoreum on the label, because it's listed as "natural flavoring."
2. Dehydrated fish bladders in beers
Some beers use an ingredient called isinglass, which is made from dried fish bladders.
3. Maggots and mites in canned mushrooms
The FDA legally allows 19 maggots and 74 mites in a 3.5-ounce can of mushrooms.
4. Human hair in bread dough
L-cysteine is a non-essential amino acid made from dissolved human hair or duck feathers. It's used to add to texture to breads.
5. Bugs secretions in jelly beans
Hard, shiny candy like jelly beans are often coated with shellac, which is a sticky substance derived from the secretion of the lac bug.
6. Flame retardant in soda
Brominated vegetable oil, or BVO, was originally used to keep plastics from lighting on fire. Now, you can find it in sodas like Mountain Dew and Fanta Orange.
7. Dog heat hormones in wine
Some wines, sodas and juices contain a preservative and anti-fungal ingredient called methylparaben, which originates in a female dog's sexual organ during heat.
8. Sheep secretions in gum
Lanolin, an oily secretion found in the wool of sheep, is an FDA-approved additive used to soften chewing gum.
9. Sex hormones in milk
Cows produce about double the milk they did a few decades ago thanks to synthetic hormones.
10. Rat hairs in chocolate
While they may not be an ingredient in chocolate, the FDA legally allows one rat hair per 100 grams in six 100-gram subsamples of chocolate and 60 insect fragments per 100 grams in six 100-gram subsamples.
11. Lubricant in salad
Propylene glycol is used in some fast-food salads and bagged salads to keep the lettuce looking green. It's also one of the key ingredients in sexual lubricant.
12. Paint chemicals in salad dressing
Titanium dioxide is common chemical found in paint and sunscreen. It's also used in salad dressing, coffee creamers and icing.
13. Cloned cow's stomach in cheese
While traditional cheese makers use rennet derived from mucosa in a calf's fourth stomach. The growing trend is to turn to cloned calf stomachs to make cheese.
14. Shampoo chemicals in produce
Phthalates are chemicals used in shampoos and fragrant soaps. They're also used in pesticides A recent study found these chemicals are wind up in food as well.
15. Staph bacteria in some grocery store meats.
Half of the U.S. supermarket meat sampled contained staph infection bacteria, including the hard-to-kill and potentially lethal MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)

J.A Happ finished second in the 2009 National League Rookie of the Year voting. Chris Coghlan of the Florida Marlins won the award, receiving 105 points (17 first place votes). Happ finished with a total of 94 points (10 first place votes).
In 128 games, Coghlan batted .321 with nine home runs and 47 RBI. In 35 games, Happ went 12-4 with a 2.93 ERA.
25 Comments
what killed Happ was he played a better 3/4 of the season, and had a poor finish, when Coghlan was playing his best baseball. The voters simply remembered the finish and over looked the season as a whole.
They both deserved it. I'm a huge Happ fan but I can't be upset with Coghlan winning it… the guy was incredible.
Happ was incredible too… 2 complete game shutouts, an ERA under 3, hitter's park, and all the related drama all season long… this guy is here to stay. I just hope his arm doesn't "die" next season like Cole's did this year from the huge increase in innings pitched.
Tough break for Happ, but he did win the ROY voted on by his peers, and to me that would carry more weight in my mind. The bottom line is Happ has proven his possible worth to this team and I hope that means he will be an effective full-time starter in 2010. No more flip-flopping back and forth between the bullpen and starting.
But still, congratulations to Coghlan. Let's be good sports about it!
Somehow I think being moved to the bullpen in teh playofs hurt him as well as an average finish.
I was rooting for Happ naturally, but Coghlan really was impressive for the Marlins. The result didn't surprise me.
Coghlin is an everyday player. Happ, my favorite candidate, is a pitcher. I hated to see Happ lose, but understand the reasoning. It is a tough break for Happ. Maybe it will motivate him to win the Cy Young Award next year.
Bonezy –
The voting takes place before the playoffs so no effect from the bullpen stint in the playoffs. Lots of decent rookies this year – no real standout.
If you look at the vote totals, Happ was the only player listed on all ballots. If only a few of the third place votes had been second place votes, he would have won. I think the fact that his peers voted him ROY and all voters included him on the ballot speaks volumes of the respect he earned this year. Would have loved to have seen him get a start in the world series…..bet he will in the 2010 Series!!
Wide open ROY field. Can have no complaints about the winner.
Nice to see a young Phillies pitcher in the reckoning.
Bummer to see Happ lose the ROY… I was certain he would get it. Oh well… Coghlan is a very solid player and had a terrific season.
Fair and Sexy!
It was a great rookie season, and it was great to see a Philly rookie pitcher show up in the way that Happ showed up. Tommy Hanson has better "stuff," and Coghlan won the award, but Happ was simply great as well. For some reason, I feel that the Phillies need to recognize that Happ will never again possess such good trade value. I love Happ. I still believe that Joe Blanton was the organization's most consistent starter this year, but Happ's numbers really mark him as the regular season ace of the 2009 NL Champion Phillies. I just don't know how much better he can get. With our club, and the age of our starting line-up (especially if we bring in a 30+ 3B), we need to continue to win now and the best chance any club has of doing that is by bringing in an established pitcher. Just look what we did with Cliff Lee.
Having written that, I would love to see the Phillies pick up Adrian Beltre for 3b, Ronnie Belliard for utility and Rafael Soriano for the bullpen. We have the need for another starter, and we have options. Some of those options seem a little too expensive, and it would be unwise to make a move before extending Cliff Lee. I would love to take a risk with a strikeout pitcher/type-B free agent pitcher like Rich Harden.
I'm not being a good sport about this. This is garbage. Happ was our best pitcher a lot of the year, and was unbeaten in starts after a loss. Coghlan had a nice year for a team that was doomed to second or third, not exactly the kind of pressure Happ faced. Sorry, i'm not being a good sport about this.
Viet-f*ckin-nom! Yeah! I agree 100%. This is some bullsh*t. How would you like to be on the O'Really… Factor tonite to discuss this epic injustice??
Did you not read the other posts? They both won ROY. One won the media vote. The other won the MLB player vote. Stop b*itching. It sounds pathetic.
Happ should have won. The Phils won the division. He actually played the whole season.
Not winning the division has nothing to do with someone having a great year. Let's give Coghlan some credit. A .321 average is nothing to sneeze at, nor is leading the league in hits after the all-star break.
Happ had a wonderful year, performing beyond everyone's expectations, but a late season injury killed his season. He didn't actually play the whole season, due to that injury, and his numbers afterward were mediocre.
ROY isn't exactly the fairest award, anyway. Happ made his debut in 2007, and pitched quite a bit in 2008. It's a mere technicality that he was a rookie, anyway. Ichiro Suzuki also won ROY when he joined the majors, even though he'd been a star for years in Japan. So what's a real rookie, anyway?
We all wanted Happ to win, and he almost did. I'm sure Braves fans wanted Hanson. Cubs fans probably wanted their guy.
I wanted Happ to win, too, but I'm not crying about his loss to another really good player.
Don't forget that Coghlan was also an infielder and was moved over to outfield a short time before he was called up. He played some pretty solid defense for a guy who spent his whole career playing in the infield.
Well USA Today Sports said Coghlan should win because he was on a contending team. It's not the matter that I just wanted Happ to win but he did participate for the whole season where Coghlan only played one hot half. Happ was a major contributor to the Phils contending and winning the division in 2009.
I'm disappointed that Happ didn't win. Awarding for hot half is not unprecedented though, remember Ryan Howard's rookie year??!!
Love Happer but Coghlan led the entire MLB in hits after the all-star break. Case closed.
Lol so 1 hot HALF of the year wins someone a ROY? Maybe Tori Hunter should had won MVP this year then. His first half of the year was amazing. Happ led a world series running up team for most of a season. I still am not convinced Coghlan should had won…
Happ lost it because in the last part of the season and postseason he was used rarely. He is a starter and had been doing the training and work as a starter most of the season. When he got put out in the bullpen and sat out there pitching rarely…..he might have lost the strength/ability to excel in the starting spot…..Blanton was similar
"Happ … was unbeaten in starts after a loss."
I'm not sure what that "stat" means, if anything.

Unique Dual-Chain Architecture
Since 1969, the year TAG Heuer launched the world's first automatic chronograph movement, coupling watch movement with chronograph function has become standard operation procedure. There is a serious "hitch", however, with this isochronous system: its wheel chain gear system increases energy loss.
This is one of the greatest quandaries of chronograph design - how to keep chronograph operation from disrupting watch operation. A first avenue of research led to the TAG Heuer Calibre 360 in March 2005 with its additional module for the chronograph. Then the answer came with the TAG Heuer Mikrograph 1/100th of a second Chronograph in January 2011, ingeniously outfitted with two independent kinematic chains - one for the watch and one for the chronograph, integrated in the same movement.
The MIKROTOURBILLONS is built with the same integrated movement with dual chain architecture, thereby eliminating the need for a clutch. Separating the watch chain from the chronograph chain eliminates the risks of the chronograph influencing the watch and vice-versa; but most importantly, it reduces energy loss and optimizes the precision of the chronograph's regulating organ. This dual chain architecture allows the all "MIKRO" timepieces (MIKROTOURBILLONS, MIKROGIRDER, MIKROTIMER and MIKROGRAPH) to be ISO 3159 compliant across the board. The MIKROTIMER and the MIKROGRAPH are already COSC certified - i.e. with the chronograph function running, a feat virtually impossible to achieve by conventional mono-frequency chronographs.

Camby gets his blocks mostly off help defense, but when he can't afford to help as much, he is useless. He can't score all that much, No post game. He came in having avg 19 rebounds a game. Soon as he deals with a guy who can score and rebound (Zach) His numbers go down. Hence his value.
We all know Curry does not defend well or rebound well, But he has two of the best rebounding pf's in the game on his team, which means he can be free to do what he does best. That is concentrate on his scoring. And NO ONE CAN STOP HIM. We have seen Camby Nullified. NO ONE CAN STOP CURRY FROM SCORING.
I think you guys need tp start realizing how valuable it is to have a player no one can stop.

Man Faces 5 Counts of Sexual Abuse of MinorsSubmitted By: Liz Cooper, email@example.com
Casper Police say a 28 year old janitor at Highland Park Church in Casper, led multiple young girls to believe he was youth group leader, and took advantage of that trust.
James Jaure is charged with five counts of sexual abuse of a minor.
Court documents say 28 year old James Jaure did pose as a youth group leader to gain trust and get close with young girls at the Highland Park Church.
And according to Casper Police, Jaure is a registered sex offender and was convicted of sexual assault of a minor in 2004 in Cheyenne.
Jaure made his initial appearance in Natrona County Circuit Court Thursday and asked the judge to not read his five felony charges, which included sexually abusing three young girls from a Highland Park Church Youth Group.
According to police documents, the incidents occurred over several months in 2012.
While Jaure was working at the church, witnesses say they knew he was a registered sex offender, and were concerned Jaure would hang around the lounge area with the multiple young girls before their youth group on Wednesday evenings.
The victims say Jaure asked them to text sexual photos to him and he would text some in return.
One of the victims, according to police documents, slept over at Jaure's house in Evansville on several occasions.
Jaure was asked at one point to stop joining in on the Wednesday night youth group meetings by a pastor.
Jaure's bond was set at $100,000 and is not to have any contact with minors.
He is scheduled to have a preliminary hearing within the next 10 days.
If convicted of the most serious charge Jaure could be sentenced to 50 years in prison.

Chef Kat: Velvet Carrot-Coriander soup
In honor of Count A.G. Stroganoff ( 1795-1891 ) , whose cook created this dish for his "Open Table Meals" that welcomed anyone well dressed and well educated for conversation and lunch.
His palace is located on the main street in St Petersburg, Russia.
This dish is beautiful and easy! That's my favorite kind of dinner!
It is football tailgating season. Texas Roadhouse shares a great tasting recipe for pulled pork sandwiches.
Sometimes we go for sweet, like a stack of syrupy pancakes.
Sometimes we go for savory, like the chorizo and egg tacos, with extra hot sauce. Today we have both of those options in your French Toast!
These take a little longer on the griddle than regular toast, so allow it to cook, on low heat, while you prepare everything else for breakfast.
It's a different kind of summer morning -- enjoy them both!

A 59-year-old man died Sunday morning after being stabbed multiple times underneath the H-1 viaduct in Mapunapuna.
Police say the stabbing happened at the end of Kilihau Street before 6:12 a.m. near a homeless encampment that is frequented by an estimated 70 to 80 people. Witnesses say the stabbing resulted after a fight between the 59-year-old and a younger man.
The victim was identified by witnesses as "Wongy." He was transported from the scene to Queen's Medical Center in critical condition where he later died.
After releasing information about the suspected stabber to the public, police arrested a Kalihi man around 1:30 p.m.
24-year-old Herwin Magbulos was arrested near his home after witnesses identified him as the culprit in the stabbing.
He faces second-degree murder charges.
Near the scene of the stabbing is a cavernous homeless encampment that has been swept several times but continues to grow, according to members of Living the Word Ministries. Their church is a stone's throw away from the scene where the fatal stabbing occurred.
Those who live under the freeway added that the growing population has also resulted in an increase in violent crimes. Brad Pareisa has lived under the freeway for decades
"I see more young people coming over here, and more people coming up," Pareisa explained. "More young people coming over here and crime goes up in the neighborhood"
Homeless residents say those incidents increase on Friday and Saturday nights, when many are drinking or doing drugs.
"Knives we all got knives," Pareisa said. "Some kind of knife something to protect yourself. The outsiders are the ones who cause all of the trouble."
While the fatal stabbing shocked members of the nearby church congregation, it also reminded them of the importance of reaching out to Mapunapuna's homeless residents.
"I want to help out and prevent that from happening again," said Tim Harris, a member of Living the Word Ministries. "We try to bring them up and empower them to go back out, we've helped some with housing, medical and food stamps."

A gas spill brought hazardous material crews to Kewalo Basin, and a billionaire has to foot the bill for the cleanup.
It is not often a pair of yachts belonging to billionaires are docked in the islands, but at Kewalo Basin, Larry Ellison's Rising Sun is just across the water from Google co-founder Larry Page's mega-ship Senses.
The Rising Sun is more than twice the length of the Senses, but the smaller 193-foot yacht came with a helipad and helicopter.
On Wednesday afternoon, barrels of aviation fuel for the helicopter were being loaded onto the ship when dozens of gallons of fuel were spilled.
The fuel stayed on the surface of the water and sent a gaseous stench across the harbor. The odor brought emergency crews out.
"It's volatile, but the fumes are noticeable. We assessed with our hazardous materials crews using air monitoring equipment and found no flammable hazard. There was no toxic hazard," said Capt. Terry Seelig, with the Honolulu Fire Department.
Because of the southerly winds, the noxious odor was sent directly over to Ellison's mega-ship.
No determination was made on why the fuel spilled, but one yacht ended up making a big stink for the other.
"I think its coincidental that they both were involved in this mishap. One being the source, the other being in the plume, so to speak," said Seelig.
Once it was determined there was no danger, of the spilled fuel catching on fire, the cleanup began.
Click here to see photos from the scene.
Crews went out into the water to mop up the fuel floating on the surface and absorbent materials were placed around the Rising Sun.
Specially trained personnel were also brought into get to fuel that floated under docks and parking areas.
Whoever caused the spill is responsible for the cost of the clean up. So along with paying to clean up the harbor, Page just may have to write Ellison a check for the mess.
No one was hurt in the spill and there weren't any visible signs of pollution problems, but it is not yet known what impact the fuel had on wildlife in the water.

Defense Bill Includes $$$ To Study Missile Interceptor
The idea of a missile interceptor site on the east coast - for which Fort Drum has been mentioned as a home - apparently isn't dead yet.
A plan for defense spending announced Monday by members of the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate contains $20 million to study the feasibility of an interceptor site, Reuters reported.
Drum is one of five sites the Pentagon picked as a potential home for missile interceptors.
The very idea of missile interceptors is controversial; it's not clear whether they would work as advertised, knocking down enemy missiles before they explode in the U.S., and the military itself has questioned the need for an east coast interceptor.
The compromise bill announced by members of the House and Senate Monday "includes an extension of expiring special pays and bonuses that will otherwise expire on Jan. 1, a prohibition against creating any new Tricare user fees and raising any existing fees by more than 1.7 percent next October, and includes hundreds of other provisions affecting service members, retirees and their families," Military Times reported.
The compromise funds the Pentagon at a level higher than sequestration.
The agreement also changes how sexual assaults are handled, limiting the authority of commanders to to reduce or change findings of guilt. But the agreement does not remove the prosecution of sexual assult cases from the chain of command and turn them over to independent prosecutors, as New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand had sought.
Gillibrand is expected to get a separate vote in the Senate on her proposal.
"We are confident that we will get a vote. Regardless of what happens, the Senator will not go away, she will keep fighting to protect our brave men and women in uniform and to strengthen our military," a spokeswoman for Gillibrand said in an email.
It's also not clear whether Monday's agreement can get through the House and Senate by the end of the year, given that there is very little time left before the holidays. There was no commitment Tuesday from the leadership of the House to advance the bill, Politico reported, and it may have problems in the Senate as well, related to whether the U.S. should impose stricter sanctions on Iran.

Fishing Lake Taneycomo, April 25th and 26th
The wife and I took an extended weekend trip to Branson, MO where in exchange for watching some of the shows with her she would go fishing with me. I had read up on fishing Lake Taneycomo so I loaded up with scuds, size 18-20 zebra midges, small soft hackles, and size 8-12 wooly buggers. I had never fished a tailwater before so I wasn't sure what to expect. We put in at the the Table Rock dam which is the upper end of Taneycomo and we were fortunate as the generators were scheduled to be off Friday through Sunday.
After we parked, got rigged up and found out that zero generators operating it was very wadeable. When we entered the water I was able to get a glimpse of the Table Rock dam.
Being from the flatlands of the midwest a dam like this is a rare sight. To me it was an extremely impressive sight. We arrived around 8 am or so and were surprised that there were so few people. We had almost the whole place to ourselves.
Fishing a tailwater is certainly different than the small stream fishing I was used to. First of all there were fish everywhere, some sporadically rising to some unseen insect or cruising. We did not get any strikes on our woolies or softhackles. And they didn't seem to spook very easily. I learned later that was because there were so many other anglers wading around. Soon more anglers began to show up and I could see some catching fish.
There was a nice riffle downstream of us so I decided to try it. I tried to get my wife to come but, she was too busy working a pod of fish. As I was making my way to the riffle I met an angler who helped me rig up with a size 14 scud as the point fly a size 12 partridge and yellow soft hackle as the dropper. I added a strike indicator on the second pass through the riffle the indicator stopped, briefly moved up stream and went straight down. Fish on! And soon this stocker was brought to net.
I went back upstream to let my wife know that I finally caught one. When I looked back the riffle was being fished by two anglers. So no going back. I rigged my wife up with a scud and a size 20 zebra midge but, she is still very new at fly fishing and it didn't work out well for her. So she decided that while I fished she be the designated photographer. I worked my way a little farther out and began casting the nymph rig and while the fishing wasn't fast and furious I was catching fish.
This was a typical fish caught.
I took off the indicator and tried nymphing without it and to my surprise I was able to take some fish. Most of the strikes consisted of seeing the line tip move and feeling the fish almost simultaneously. Like I said the fishing wasn't fast and furious but, I did catch a fair number of fish.
One thing i did learn today was those stockers were not easy fish to catch, you had to work for them.
Wife felt a little frustrated so I told her let's get up early go to the riffle where you can swing a softhackle and I bet you will catch a fish. So I was going to play guide for the day. I told her to swing the fly by the tailout of the riffle. Any fish that is there is going to be a hungry fish. My wife's casting skills need some work but, she was able to put the fly in the tail out and as the fly swung through the tailout I could see the flash of a fish and her line tighten as the fish hooked itself and my wife had her first fly hooked fish on. And after a few minutes her first fish caught on a fly.
Because my landing net was on a magnetic cord it was hard to get a good picture of her and the fish. She proceeded to catch 4 more rainbows like this one.
Then the rain came and chased us out and so we ended up going antiquing. Before I go I just wanted to thank my wife for her iPhone pictures.
All the way she kept talking about how much fun she had and how she wants to really practice her fly casting. Looks I may have a fishing partner.
Awesome fishing report! Love the pictures and narrative and great ending with your wife wanting to learn more about the sport. That is one part of the country I haven't fished yet and keep thinking about. Maybe I'll have to do a trip sometime soon! Thanks for sharing.
"Then He said to them, 'Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.'" Matthew 4:19

I have been wanting to go back there for awhile. It is a lot of fun and is a good place to take a family. A little something for everyone in that area. Your right about alot of fish. Thanks for putting this up.
Shawn-Lake Taneycomo is part of the White River system in Missouri and Arkansas. When people refer to the White River they are usually referring to the tailwaters below Bull Shoals Reservoir in Arkansas. These dams were built by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
An interesting fact, Lake Taneycomo got it's name from being located in Taney County MO. Put them together you get Taneycomo.

The Bobcats finished the year as a Region IV quarterfinalist with a season record of 30-5.
"We didn't shoot the ball very well and us being in foul trouble didn't help either. We almost came back and got them at the end," said head coach Adam Wollam.
S-T started strong on Tuesday night and quickly built an eight-point lead at 13-5 as the first period ran down. The San Antonio Cole Cougars finished strong and hit the last basket of the quarter to trail by six, 13-7.
The second quarter began as the first. The Bobcats hit some outside shots and took advantage of some sloppy Cole ball-handling. The 'Cats were out front 21-9 before the Cougars got rolling again.
Cole continued to work inside to their big man, Kendrick Taylor, and began to chip away at the S-T lead. An 8-0 run by the Cougars brought them close, trailing by just four at 21-17. The Bobcats hit one final basket over the final minutes, but the Cole boys added eight markers to pull in front 25-23 at the halftime break.
The Bobcats were relying on their outside shooting and the Cole Cougars were banging inside to get their points. Brandon East and Zeke Huerta hit a few long-range jumpers in the third to keep the Bobcats competitive.
Bobcat sharpshooter Eric Schumacher was saddled with three early fouls and sat out most of the second quarter, but the S-T boys responded and kept it close.
The two teams battled tooth and nail over the third period and the 'Cats fought back to tie the game at 38 all as John Hernandez went inside to score just before the buzzer sounded.
The final stanza was a test of wills and skills. The teams battled back and forth with neither side gaining much of an advantage.
It was all square at 47-47 with 3:25 left to play. Kendrick hit two straight baskets and a plus one to give the Cole squad a 52-47 lead with less than two minutes to play.
The Bobcats rallied late, and two free throws by Erasmo Huerta with a little over 17 seconds left brought the Bobcats to within one, 54-53.
The S-T boys were forced to foul and Cole made good on their shots with just six seconds on the clock. It was 56-53, and there was still time for one last attempt, but the Bobcats would need a three.
Schumacher got the chance and a pretty good look for the tie, but the ball glanced off the rim, and the Cougars held on for the three-point victory.
Four Bobcats were in double figures. Schumacher finished with 14 points despite sitting out a good portion of the contest. Zeke Huerta recorded 13 points while Brandon East and Erasmo Huerta each hit for 11. Hernandez tossed in four points.
Schumacher recorded four three-pointers in the game. East had three and Zeke Huerta popped in two treys.
Cole's Taylor led all scorers with 32 points in the Cougar victory.
"I am very proud of the players for the season we have had. They are a great group of guys that are fun to coach," Wollam said.

Earth Angel1 of 11
By Natasha Burton
While we'd certainly like to become more eco-friendly, we don't always have the time—or the money—to completely "go green." But instead of feeling guilty for not composting, driving a hybrid or being up on the latest vegan fashions, we're giving ourselves a big pat on the back. And you should too! Read on to find out ten easy peasy eco-friendly habits that you may already be doing.
Nuke It2 of 11
If you ever microwave your dinner instead of whipping something up from scratch, then you're not lazy; you're saving the environment! Zapping your dish shortens cooking time and saves operating costs, allowing you to conserve energy and avoid overheating your house—which is especially important come summer months, when many of us start cranking up the AC.
Jean Theory3 of 11
If you re-wear your favorite jeans a second or third (or, OK, fourth) time before washing them, then you're not dirty—you're eco-savvy! According to jean manufacturer Levi Strauss, you can reduce your energy use by 40 percent and your water use by 35 if you wash your jeans once a month instead of once a week. Just be sure to do the sniff test first.
Shower Power4 of 11
If you prefer showering to rub-a-dub-dubbing in your tub, then you're using 50 percent less water than your bath-taking counterparts. To be a go-green overachiever, try to shorten your shower time by just 12 seconds: According to Wire&Twine, if everyone in the country did this, then we would collectively conserve twice the amount of freshwater taken from the Great Lakes each day.
Paper Trail5 of 11
According to a 2007 study performed by Javelin Strategy & Research, we'd save 16.5 million trees each year if every household in the U.S. switched to paperless bills. So, if you receive your bank statements, electricity bills or other monthly notices via email, then you're already contributing to cutting back on our carbon footprint. (If not, then it's super easy to sign up, as most banks and utilities companies feature the option in bold letters on their homepages.)
Slam Junk6 of 11
On a similar note, if you've signed up to stop receiving junk mail, then you're not just avoiding the annoyance of an overcrowded mailbox—you're also doing Mother Earth a favor: Over 100 million trees are cut down each year to manufacture these often-discarded fliers. (If you haven't opted out but want to, then see this site to help you get started. You can also pick and choose the catalogs you want to receive here.)
Green Thumbs-Up7 of 11
If you've done any landscaping in your backyard by putting in trees and other plant life, then you're both adding value to your house and minimizing the effects of global warming (trees in particular trap CO2 emissions). Shade from tall plants and trees can also cool down your home, reducing energy costs.
Grin & Bag It8 of 11
If you ever bring those handy reusable bags with you to go food shopping, then you're reducing waste in a major way. Roughly 4 billion plastic bags—like the kind used for groceries—end up in our landfills each year, and while these bags can be recycled, less than 3 percent of them actually are. (Some cities, like Santa Monica, Calif., have banned plastic bags in grocery stores, making bringing your own a must.)
SHOP NOW: Baggu Bags, $8 each
Don't Spray It9 of 11
If you use shaving lotions and good old roll-on or stick deodorants rather than aerosol versions, then you're automatically reducing your carbon footprint, according to Scientific American magazine. While aerosol cans no longer have CFCs, which infamously depleted the ozone layer, they may still contain hydrocarbons or compressed gases, both of which are known to cause global warming. Every spurt of a spray bottle contributes to climate change, even if just slightly.
Food For Thought10 of 11
If you visit your local Farmers Market, then you've earned part-time locavore status. According to Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, the average fresh food item travels 1,500 miles to get to your kitchen. If the state of Iowa, for example, grew just 10 percent more produce for local consumption, then this would save between 280,000 and 346,000 gallons of fuel each year. While Farmers Market fare may be pricier than the same items in the grocery store, you can feel good knowing that the farmers you buy from keep about 85 cents for every dollar you spend.
Hitch A Ride11 of 11
If you work with local parents to help shuttle your kids back and forth with a carpool, or if you're simply that friend who always needs (or gives) a ride, then you're doing a heck of a lot of good for the environment. Ride-sharing can reduce pollution and greenhouse gases—not to mention save you some green on gas (which means more money for the Farmers Market)!

Winter 2007-2008
"HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT A NATION WITH 300 MILLION PEOPLE, a $13 trillion GDP and a defense budget of more than $600 billion is unable to muster 30,000 additional troops and sustain the surge for even a full year? The bottom line is that the leaders responsible for our military-the president, the secretary of Defense, and Congress- refused over the past six years (as their predecessors had before them) to recruit, train and equip more troops."
-Graham Allison and Kevin Ryan, "No Choice-Withdrawal Starts in '08," Los Angeles Times (11 September 2007)
"ANOTHER DECADE OR SO OF BUSINESS AS USUAL' EMISSIONS would likely commit the planet to a temperature level that assessments by the most respectable scientific groups have concluded will bring immense suffering from such climate-related phenomena as floods, droughts, wildfires, severe tropical storms, rising sea level, and changing distribution of pests and pathogens."
-Kelly Sims Gallagher and John Holdren, "Sea Change in the Politics of Climate," Washington Post online (19 April 2007)
"IT'S AS IF WE'RE SITTING IN 1945, and World War II has just come to an end, and Europe is devastated," Stavins said in a recent interview. "Imagine trying to build a world monetary system and a system of world trade. This is an unbelievably difficult problem."
-Robert Stavins, "Climate: Negotiators Start Search for Post-Kyoto Accord," Greenwire (4 September 2007)
"THE UNITED STATES MUST ADOPT A TWO-PRONGED POLICY. The first is to encourage China to become a responsible stakeholder' in the international community. The second is to hedge against competitive or aggressive behavior by China."
-Ashton Carter and William Perry, "China on the March," National Interest (March/April 2007)
"CHINA'S STRATEGY IS ONE OF HUMANITARIAN AND DEVELOPMENT AID plus influence without interference, in contrast to the West's coercive approach of sanctions plus military intervention."
-Jason Qian and Anne Wu, "China's Delicate Role on Darfur," Boston Globe (23 July 2007)
"TO UNDERCUT THE ABILITY OF THE TALIBAN to purchase arms, pay soldiers, and buy the support of villagers, the United States and NATO need to break the back of the drug trade in and out of Afghanistan. However, reliance on eradication-the current weapon of choice-is foolish and wasteful."
-Robert Rotberg, "Losing the War in Afghanistan," Boston Globe (2 April 2007)
"AS EARLY AS 1993, al-Qaeda attempted to buy highly enriched uranium in Sudan. Seized documents from Afghanistan detail al-Qaeda's efforts to gain nuclear materials there from 1996 to 2001; Osama bin Laden has called getting the bomb a religious duty.' In Russia, Chechen terrorist teams carried out reconnaissance at two secret nuclear weapon storage sites in 2001."
-Matthew Bunn, "Thwarting Terrorists: More to Be Done," Washington Post (September 26, 2007)
"THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ORDINARY PAKISTANIS euphorically chanting in the streets in support of Iftikhar Chaudhry, the suspended chief justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, demonstrate that Pakistan has outgrown Pervez Musharraf 's transitional leadership."
-Hassan Abbas, "Musharraf 's Party is Over," National Interest online (11 June 2007)
"BUT UNLIKE OTHER HUMAN RIGHTS MOVEMENTS battling repressive regimes, which have traditionally looked to the West for a lifeline, Iran's activists are adamant that for all the gratitude they may feel for their Western supporters, they would prefer that we keep our distance."
-Fotini Christia, "A Quiet Battle for Rights in Iran," Washington Post (26 August 2007)
"THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE FUTURE, ONLY FUTURES. One conceivable future is that after (if?) Mr. Putin steps down next year, Russia will become more liberal in its politics. But that is not the future I would put my money on. A more plausible future is that, having more or less stifled internal dissent, Russia is now ready to play a more aggressive role on the international stage."
-Niall Ferguson, "Russia's Weimar Complex; Could History be Repeating Itself?" National Post (6 June 2007)
"THE SOFT POWER OF ATTRACTION is a critical component of being a major presence or leader in the world. And engaging with others diplomatically is a crucial part of attracting others. When we don't talk to people, even our enemies, that makes us look arrogant rather than humble."
-Joseph Nye, interviewed in "Bush Team Explores Use of Soft Power,'" NPR's Morning Edition, (23 March 2007)
"GIVEN A TICKING TIME BOMB' SITUATION like those on 24, nearly 44% of (college students) supported the use of torture, and 62% backed the employment of soft' torture methods, including water-boarding.' . . . A Christian Science Monitor/TIPP survey done shortly after the 9/11 attacks put the level of support for torture at 32%."
-Kelly M. Greenhill, "24 On the Brain," Los Angeles Times (28 May 2007)
"BLAIR WILL BE REMEMBERED BY MANY AFRICANS for his courage in articulating the continent's needs. It was during his tenure that the sovereign activism of the UK saw the world community start to focus on Africa's quest for competence-building and the jettisoning of the traditional focus on relief."
-Calestous Juma, "How Blair Redefined the Aid Game," Business Daily (25 May 2007)

"WASHINGTON CANNOT GIVE PAKISTAN THE SPHERE OF INFLUENCE in southern Afghanistan that it desires to make sure it will not be encircled by India. however, Washington can give Pakistan greater interest in Afghanistan's stability than it has now by encouraging Kabul to include Pakistan's allies and clients in government; and more important, to finally recognize its international border with Pakistan."
-Vali Nasr, "How to Squeeze Jihad Culture out of Pakistan," Christian Science Monitor (20July 2007)
"IF THE UNITED STATES GAVE A QUARTER OF THE TIME, money, effort, and high-level diplomatic attention to reaching a peace agreement that it has on UN force rhetoric, no-fly zones, and threats to invade Darfur, there might be peace."
-Marie Besançon, "Facing a Fragile Situation in Darfur," Boston Globe (9 August 2007)
"PRESIDENT BUSH IS ON RECORD saying that we ought to create an "ownership society.". . . Let's do that by giving individuals a property right in their own names and personal identifiable information. This reform would not protect individual privacy from undue government surveillance. But it would begin to limit the amount of personal data collected, maintained, and processed by commercial firms . . ."
-Nolan Bowie, "Treating Money as Free Speech," Boston Globe (16 July 2007)
"WESTERN JOURNALISTS AND EDITORS in particular may be consistently missing the most important story in the Arab world: the quest by millions of ordinary people to create a better political and socioeconomic order, anchored in decent values, open to the world, pluralistic and tolerant yet asserting indigenous Arab-Islamic values."
-Rami Khouri, "Missing the Epic Story of the Middle East," Agence Global (11 August
2007) "AS THE CENTERPIECE OF THE TRANSFORMED RELATIONSHIP, there is enormous political will to complete the [civil nuclear] deal, but the devil is in the details. The Indians have dug their heels in on a couple of integral points, including the enrichment and reprocessing in India of spent fuel and the removal of a clause from U.S. legislation that mandates U.S. sanctions if India tests nuclear weapons. The United States has little room to maneuver."
-Xenia Dormandy, "Growing Links for U.S.and India," Boston Globe (19 July 2007)
"NEVER BEFORE IN HUMAN HISTORY has the most powerful weapon available to our species been so widely forsworn. The vast majority of the world's states realize, as Langewiesche does not, that their security is better served by not having nuclear weapons- particularly if their neighbors can be convinced to forgo them as well."

Big Island police have located one of the 30-year-old men previously charged in connection to a home invasion robbery that occurred in July 2013 in the Leilani Estates Subdivision in Puna.
On Monday at 2:20 p.m., detectives arrested and charged Mark McCurley on the strength of a grand jury indictment for second degree robbery, second degree theft, and kidnapping. His bail was set at $85,000 and he was scheduled to appear in court Wednesday afternoon.
McCurley and 30-year-old Kawika Benny Kahee were scheduled to appear in court after being charged for several offenses stemming from the July 24 robbery in which the 56-year-old female victim reported that three individuals forced their way into her home, assaulted and restrained her before fleeing from the residence with property stolen from her residence. The third assailant remains at large and has not been identified.
At the time, McCurley was charged with second degree robbery, second degree theft, and kidnapping. Kahee was charged for second degree robbery, second degree theft, and third degree assault.
Police are asking for the public's assistance in locating Kahee, who is described as being 5-feet-11-inches tall, weighing about 265 pounds, shoulder length straight black hair, brown eyes, tan complexion, a large build. He often wears a light mustache and goatee. He also has several tattoos, including "Trinity" on his chest, "Serenity" on his entire right forearm, and a large ornamental tattoo wrapping around his left forearm.
As a result of a grand jury indictment, Kahee is wanted on a warrant for second degree robbery, third degree assault, second degree theft, third degree promoting a dangerous drug, and drug paraphernalia. He also has two arrest warrants for probation revocation and a bench warrant for contempt of court.
Police ask that anyone with information on Kahee's whereabouts or information on the identity of the third suspect to call Detective Derek Morimoto at 961-2380 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous are asked to call Crime Stoppers in East Hawaii at 961-8300 or in West Hawaii at 329-8181 and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000. Crime Stoppers is a volunteer program run by ordinary citizens who want to keep their community safe. Crime Stoppers doesn't record calls or subscribe to Caller ID.

Research Lab
Assessment of fish health through proteomics and in vitro methodologies
The assessment of organismal health, whether humans or other vertebrates and invertebrates, is critical in the overall context of ecosystem health. My main research thrust has been in the development of model systems for the evaluation of health status in aquatic organisms and this includes development of fish and shellfish cell lines as well as evaluation of alternate invertebrate species such as snails and crustaceans. With the aid of proteomics technology, we are in a unique position to scan entire proteomes of model cell systems and observe not only changes in protein expression but also protein-protein interactions and protein modifications such as phosphorylation and glycoslylation events. Histochemical, immunochemical and proteomics methodologies are proving crucial for understanding cellular and organismal function and our work aims to evaluate changes in protein expression, cell structure and function following exposure to contaminants, physical stressors and pathogens.

What better way to say "welcome" than to offer a tasty snack to a guest? We do it at home all the time, but we love it even more when restaurants do it. An unexpected treat at the table or bar is a friendly gesture that invites us to relax and enjoy, and it helps curb our hunger while we order something bigger. This week we're stoking your appetite with some of our favorite food freebies in Columbus, as varied as pickles and popcorn. —Kristen Schmidt
Bread & butter
Bread service, once a ubiquitous part of any meal out, has begun to fall out of favor. Many restaurants have dropped it altogether, while a few will provide bread baskets upon request only. And too often bread is an afterthought — not much more than a couple of stale slices served with cold butter pats.
This is understandable — much of that bread goes to waste, especially in this increasingly carb-conscious world — but nonetheless disheartening for carboholics.
However, there are a few places around town that still put some thought (and love) into their bread baskets. Here are our favorites. —Shelley Mann
Rigsby's Kitchen
698 N. High St., Short North
No contest, the best bread in town. Rigsby's has its own bakery, Eleni-Christina, and every meal at the Short North mainstay starts with a little burlap sack filled with still-warm slices of sourdough or walnut-and-raisin-studded multigrain. Spread liberally with softened butter and devour immediately.
511 N. High St., Short North
DeepWood offers a well-rounded basket, with moist date-walnut bread, hearty country white and a crumbly flatbread. But it's the butter that's really special — big triangles sprinkled in coarse red sea salt.
Basi Italia
811 Highland St., Victorian Village
This neighborhood gem goes against the flow in many ways, including its bread. Rather than the typical Italian breadstick, diners get little glasses filled with savory shortbread sticks made with cheese, herbs and plenty of butter.
263 E. Whittier St., German Village
At the European-inspired German Village restaurant, a half-loaf of crusty white bread is served with a ramekin of the most remarkable dipping oil. It's olive oil mixed with an almost creamy seasoned tomato puree rather than the typical balsamic.
Café Istanbul
Multiple locations
The Turkish restaurant, with locations at Easton and in Bexley and Dublin, serves up big baskets of warm chargrilled pide bread with a spicy infused oil dipping sauce. It's sorta like naan, but thicker, fluffier and with a crispier crust.
3712 Riverside Dr., Upper Arlington
1369 Grandview Ave., Grandview
The wood-fired pizza spot's homemade bread is what every restaurant should aspire to. It's nice, big hunks of lightly toasted focaccia served with a shallow dish of olive oil loaded with fresh herbs.
Amuse-bouches are a chef's gift to the diner, a little thank-you for gracing the restaurant with your presence. Or, as Chef Alana Shock puts it, "an offering of love." They're much smaller than small plates — just a bite-sized hors d'oeuvre designed to showcase the chef's artistry. This is the most expensive of the food freebies, really, because you're shelling out for a multi-course meal to get it. But it's also the most delicious. —Shelley Mann
2333 N. High St., North Campus
Alana Shock is this town's amuse-bouche queen. The chef does strategic sweeps of the dining room all evening long, meaning she personally bestows every single diner with a special gift (not that she's, you know, busy cooking or anything). It's just one reason why Columbus diners regard Shock as not just a talented chef, but a dear friend.
Worthington Inn
649 High St., Worthington
Chef Thomas Smith is another one who doesn't leave amuse delivery duty to the servers. When he's working, he'll likely be the one to bring out the amuse — often a lovely Hawaiian raw tuna preparation called poke.
1092 Bethel Rd., North Side
As he does with everything on the menu, Chef Richard Blondin takes great pride in his amuse du jour, using it as a way to introduce the diner to his distinct French cooking style. So you may get a sliver of pate, or a bit of alpaca—the starring ingredient in his famed Alpaca Terrine.
M at Miranova
2 Miranova Place, Downtown
Everything is beautiful at Cameron Mitchell's most upscale dining experience, including the amuses. Whatever the offering that night, it'll be served like a small-scale work of art — I loved, for instance, a tiny mound of glittering tuna tartare served in a soup spoon.
I always love to see what a chef as imaginative as DeepWood's Brian Pawlak dreams up for an amuse. He's a master with meat, so get excited if the night's offering is a carnivorous one (a tempura short rib holds a special place in my heart).
We found three places with awesome complimentary pickles, so we gave them their own category. Then we thought, hey, pickles should be in a category of their own more often. They're also a tad old-fashioned, which makes them even more endearing. —Kristen Schmidt
The Top Steak House
2891 E. Main St., Bexley
The relish tray has been part of the dining experience at The Top since it opened in 1955. Pickles, sauerkraut and olives are the steady stars, but the kitchen adds goodies from its garden when it can.
Ted's Montana Grill
191 Nationwide Blvd., Arena District
A little dish of addictive half-sour pickle discs land at your table at Ted's just after you're seated, but they typically don't last long. Patriot Pickle Company makes these treats for the national chain — a spokeswoman pointed out they're unique and healthier than bread.
Katzinger's Deli
475 S. Third St., German Village
There are deli pickles, and there are Katzinger's pickles. It's downright fun to dip a pair of tongs in a barrel at this German Village mainstay — just obey the signs and take only what you need to accompany your sandwich.
Bar snacks
A little nibble to help absorb whatever you're imbibing is always a welcome sight at the bar. Don't be surprised, though, if the innocent litlte bar snack arouses your hunger and compels you to order something off the menu at these restaurants. —Kristen Schmidt
Sidebar 122
122 E. Main St., Downtown
Bacon! You need us to say more? It arrives in crispy strip form at the bar periodically. If you're smart, you'll have a Manhattan or Old Fashioned or just a glass of bourbon in front of you. Get it while it's hot, friends.
Pie's Gourmet Pizza Bistro
7601 E. Main St., Reynoldsburg
Chef Bill Fugitt loves to smoke and cure things, and he doesn't stop at meat. Fugitt sometimes smokes popcorn kernels with bacon, then pops it to make — yes, gentlemen — smoky bacon popcorn. Bar patrons might also find duck-fat popcorn or salty caramel popcorn or candied nuts at the bar.
The Top
A classic for a classic: Enjoy a zingy pretzels-and-bagel-chips mix at the bar along with your martini (dry, gin, shaken, up).
Rigsby's Kitchen
Happy hour really hops at Rigsby's, where the bar is scattered with cocktails, glasses of wine — and tiny dishes of olives and, sometimes, charred bread rubbed with tomato and garlic.
Free popcorn
This snack's star has popped far above its days as an overpriced-something to crunch on at the movies. Yesterday is to bowl of nuts on the bar as today is to popcorn machine in the bar's corner brimming with the salty stuff. We even found some at a car wash in Grandview. —Jackie Mantey
Villa Nova
5545 N. High St., Worthington
This Italian restaurant has a comforting, homey charm. Case in point: Man, will they feed you. Patrons of the bar can indulge in free popcorn and an occasional free appetizer — wings, pizza, subs — that the staff sets out on the countertop.
384 W. Third Ave., Harrison West
Zeno's is a great place to watch a football game this fall. Belly up with an appetizer of free popcorn from behind the bar and then order a few pizzas. This is for your own good; you've got four quarters of drinking away the misery induced by being a Browns fan ahead of you.
Hal & Al's
1297 Parsons Ave., Olde Towne East
This divey-but-hip bar is known for its vast craft beer selection and vegan food (check out the vegan-friendly sushi nights every Thursday), but saving some cash (for more craft beer, we assume) with a basket full of complimentary popcorn is always an option.
Plank's Cafe
743 Parsons Ave., South Side
Plank's has been around since 1939, which means it has both free peanuts and popcorn for those imbibing at the pizza place. No denying the classics here.
Sax Car Wash
1319 W. Fifth Ave., Grandview
The washes at Sax take about 15 minutes, so snag a bag of free popcorn while you wait. The popper is right beside the shoe shining station. Also among this car wash's offerings o' random are a few stands of greeting cards and a wall of NFL car window flags.
Free samples:
Multiple locations
Navigating the tea menu here is like taking a voyage around the world. It's fascinating, and it makes decisions difficult. Start with the daily sample of one variety of tea offered at ZenCha. Not your cup of tea? They'll offer something different the next day.
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
Multiple locations
One way Jeni's introduces "avant garde" flavors like Goat Cheese with Red Cherries to the masses is by letting customers try before they buy. Columbus' ice-cream palate has thusly matured, teensy spoonful by teensy spoonful.
The Hills Market
7860 Olentangy River Rd., Worthington
The Hills always features something to taste, but Ohio Market Day events, featuring items made in Ohio, are the motherlode. At the next Ohio Market Day, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13, try grain-based salads from Little Eater (a pop-up restaurant at The Hills), Sweet Tooth Cottage cookies, Tasteweaver sauces and more.
The North Market
59 Spruce St., Arena District
Work your way around the market, keeping your eyes peeled for tasty samples at the many vendors inside. A few reliable stops: Brezel, Omega Artisan Baking, CaJohn's, Pam's Market Popcorn, Taste of Belgium and Kitchen Little.

Jewish National Fund Eastern Pennsylvania
Over the past 109 years, JNF has evolved into a global environmental leader by planting 250 million trees, building over 210 reservoirs and dams, developing over 250,000 acres of land, creating more than 1,000 parks, providing the infrastructure for over 1,000 communities, bringing life to the Negev Desert and educating students around the world about Israel and the environment.
Jewish National Fund is a non-profit organization founded in 1901. It all started with a dream. Theodor Herzl, a Viennese journalist, witnessed virulent anti-Semitism at the Dreyfus trial. He knew it was time to take action, and was determined that before the Fifth Zionist Congress in Basel, Switzerland came to an end, a national fund would be established to purchase land for a Jewish State in Ottoman-controlled Palestine.

Loc: Land of the Flat Water
Behind Schedule
Predictions from British journalist John Langdon-Davies A Short History of the Future, 1936:
Democracy will be dead by 1950.
There will be no war in western Europe for the next five years (from 1935).
By 1960 work will be limited to three hours a day.
Abundant new raw materials will [by 1960] make food, clothing and other necessities universally obtainable.
By 1975 parents will have ceased to bring up their children in family units.
By 1975 sexual feeling and marriage will have nothing to do with one another.
Crime will be considered a disease after 1985 and will cease to exist by A.D. 2000.
The high-brow art of our day will have no future save as a historic curiosity, since it has sacrificed everything to a misguided individualism.
By A.D. 2000 every community will have adopted a planned birth-rate and population will be kept at a fixed level by state-controlled contraception, abortion and sterilization.
England will have a population one-tenth of its present size.
Large tracts of America will go back to the primeval wilderness.
Mankind, like the social insects, will be divided into four or five different sexual types and will forget the he and the she in the needs of physiological and social division of labour.
The present can have no meaning unless it is to be found in the future, he wrote, so that our happiness and our efficiency as thinking beings depends upon the clarity with which we see what the future holds._________________________

This reminds me of a show I saw in the '60s called "Here come the 70s" It was full of dire predictions on the future; we'd have overpopulation/overcrowding to the point that it would be impossible to walk in the streets without being physically touched on all sides, we'd all be wearing plain sheaths, we'd all be shaved bald to avoid lice.
I've no idea why the sheaths and bald heads were inevitable because of the overcrowding, but it seemed so.
Scared the bajeezus out of me. I wasn't 8 and was afraid of what was coming in a few years.
Once that didn't pan out, the producers made "Here come the 80s", but I was the in my teens, remembered that Here come the 70s was totally ridiculous, so never watched it to find out what new type of dire prediction they'd come up with.

I've searched the Biography Rules section for a mention of them but I don't see it anywhere...
Does anyone know what the rules are for obtaining a sensory bio? I want one for a bio but I heard there are rules I can't find.
You must obtain permission from nexus.

The Admin? Ok thanks.
2 mods permission is needed to make a custom sensory bio.
You can't have a KG/Hidden ability bio with sensing ability
Sensing Abilities shall only be allowed in Cannon Bios, if the cannon character has a sensing ability in the manga/anime like Karin or Ao. Custom Characters that would like to have sensing abilities cannot have a Kekkei Genkai, Hiden ability, Mist Swordsmen Sword, 8IG or Sage Mode in the same bio.
There ^^ rules.

Ah, thanks a bunch. But do I still have to obtain permission? I've heard some members say Nexus, some say two RP mods permission so I'm kinda at a lost. @_@
I believe you only need permission from one RP mod, or thats what Scorps told me
Ah, thank you so much. ^^
No problem ^_^
Adding on to that is permission from two rp moderators.

Hmm I am not sure about this but I think We need 1 rp mod permission.
Genryusai is right. You only need permission from one RP mod for a custom sensory bio. If you were to make a canon sensory bio like Inoichi, Ao etc. you don't need permission.
I used to have a custom sensor bio. One RP Mod permission is needed along with restrictions as said above.

text: I completely agree that if you can, you should leave MOSTLY fresh, with only frozen as a backup. Freezing kills some of the good qualities in the milk, as well as making it less portable. I would give it to her in the morning when you drop off DD, and if someone else does the drop off, send the milk in a small cooler with them. Make it part of the routine. When your mom sees that it's a lot easier to warm up and deal with during the day, she might change her mind. I would pump straight into a bottle, so all you had to do was screw on a nipple top, set it in a yogurt container of hot tap water, wait a few minutes, feed. Lots easier for everyone involved, really. And healthier!

At the opening of the Computex Taipei 2011 trade-show, Intel Corp. demonstrated more than ten tablets based on the company's latest system-on-chip for ultra-portable devices. The tablets come from different manufacturers and utilize different operating systems, including Android, MeeGo and Windows. In addition, the company revealed some peculiarities about Medfield-based devices.
Sean Maloney, an executive vice president at Intel, demonstrated more than ten tablets from both own-brand manufacturers (Fujitsu, Lenovo, MSI, Toshiba, etc.) as well as contract makers of electronics (Clevo, Compal, ECS, Foxconn, Pegatron, Quanta, Wistron, etc.). All of the tablets are based on the company's Oak Trail platform featuring the Atom Z670-series microprocessors and utilize either Google Android 3.0 "Honeycomb", various MeeGo flavours as well as Microsoft Corp.'s Windows 7 operating system.
The Intel Oak Trail platform already has more than 35 design wins since its launch in April, with several convertibles, sliders and other innovative designs on shelves now and more coming through the rest of the year, according to Intel.
Even though Intel claims that some of the tablets on dispay at Computex Taipei 2011 are available now, they do not seem to be available widely. In fact, even Intel itself did not show any particular eye-catching tablets during the keynote, which may mean that their availability is currently either very limited or the chipmaker's partners only offer those devices to resellers, not the final end-users.
Mr. Maloney also discussed the next-generation solution code-named Medfield, Intel's first purpose-built 32nm system-on-chip for smartphones and tablets. According to the chipmaker, Medfield has been optimized for both low power and high performance and is projected to deliver long use-time, rich media and gaming, and advanced imaging capabilities. The new Medfield SoC, which will hit production later this year, will enable sub-9mm designs that weigh less than 1.5 pounds for tablet design. Intel expects actual devices running the new chip to emerge in the first half of 2012.
Intel showcased a Medfield design running Google Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) for the first time. The SoC will also be supported by variety of operating systems, including MeeGo, but like in the case of Moorestown, Windows support may be omitted.

Minn. hospital restricts sick visitors due to flu
A hospital north of the Twin Cities is restricting some visitors because of a rise in flu cases at the hospital.
Visitors who have infectious symptoms won't be allowed into the maternity ward of Fairview Lakes Hospital in Wyoming, Minn. They will be allowed to visit other units if they wear a mask.
Hospital spokesman Ryan Davenport tells Minnesota Public Radio News that Fairview's five other hospitals are evaluating whether they need to take similar precautions.
Davenport says signs will be posted at all of Fairview Lakes' entrances informing visitors of the new policy. He says greeting staff will ask visitors whether they're experiencing infectious symptoms.

nice to meet you :: scoutie girl
in the past i've interviewed a cut paper artist and a modern bags and home accessories designer, this time around is a new sort of artist - a writer-artist. it's someone i met on twitter and follow regularly...
meet tara gentile. tara is editor of scoutie girl and taragentile.com, curator of scoutie girl gifts, author of 52 weeks of blogging your passion AND she also finds time to create beautiful web sites for indie business owners. to really sum it all up - tara celebrates the power of hand-made like no other. seriously.
01. tell us a little about yourself...
I'm a mom, a frustrated academic, a blogger-writer, professional web surfer...I live in south-eastern Pennsylvania with my husband and my daughter, Lola. I love style but I'm a terrible dresser. I wish I was a graphic designer. I also wish I was a photographer. But I love what I do and can't imagine doing anything else at this point.
02. how did you get started? when? obstacles?
I got serious about blogging in January 2009. I dabbled a bit in the community before that and found out that this thing actually existed! Finding a niche was one of the biggest obstacles. How to set myself apart. My mom gave me the idea for "Handmade in PA" (http://handmadeinpa.net) my first blog. I took over Scoutie Girl from Jan DiCintio (http://www.daisyjanie.com) in July 2009 because I wanted to become a full-time blogger and she wanted to focus on creating her wholesale textile line. Match made in heaven.
And did I mention she lives precisely 2 blocks away from me? Yeah. I met her on the internet.
Other than balancing my time between taking care of my family & work, my biggest obstacle has been convincing my husband that what I do is actually work. As I am able to point to more specific & measurable aspects of my success, he gets it more. Read: making money helps.
03. where do you seek inspiration?
Where don't I seek inspiration? Other blogs - Mint, Modish, Smile & Wave, How About Orange, Love Forever... - twitter, Flickr, Etsy, Supermarket. I'm constantly checking out links from friends and shop owners, hopefully figuring out some trends. I'm inspired by color & texture - and definitely materials.
04. what's a typical day like at scoutie girl?
For me personally, there's a lot of juggling - constantly back & forth between taking care of my daughter and taking care of Scoutie Girl. I'm up at 6am, Lola's up at 7am and from there the back & forth begings. At naptime, I attempt to take care of business - and if I'm lucky, myself. After dinner, I work until 11pm.
Lots of emails to answer, which I'm terrible at. Lots of twittering - man, that thing has changed my life! Not only am I able to grow SG through twitter but I've made great friends, talked to people in positions that still boggle my mind, and literally network my heart out. I have 3-4 posts to write per week day and edit another 1-2 from contributors. When I'm not managing SG, I'm doing freelance Wordpress design and developing new projects.
05. what does the future hold for scoutie girl?
The future is bright for Scoutie Girl. Since I took over in July, average page views per day have nearly doubled. I'm looking to do that a few more times this year. My mission for Scoutie Girl is that it will continue to be a place where readers come to find amazing handmade design, thoughtful writing, and engaging stories of crafters & artists. My success rests on the success of this crazy handmade experiment. If I am successful in bringing the message of this movement to as wide an audience as possible, communicate the benefits of this lifestyle, and aid the artists in realizing their dreams, my success as a business owner is guaranteed.
I like those odds.
06. can you offer advice for other first time shop owners / bloggers?
Focus, focus, focus. In an effort to try to make money, many people try to broaden their appeal to as many people as possible. You want to do just the opposite, imagine a very specific person, think about her style, her likes, her dislikes, where she goes on a daily basis, where she goes for special occasions. And create your work just for that person - whether it's writing a blog or designing jewelry or stationery or home decor. Make your target audience ridiculously small.
That person (imagined or not) will have to have your product.
And so will many, many other people who want to be defiant by purchasing something not meant for them.
Really, it works. And your work will be cohesive, original, and stand out from the crowd because of it.
07. if you could pick one place to be right now where would it be and why?
Oh my! A college campus. Preferably my alma mater but any college campus will do. I feel so at home in the middle of a quad - even if the kids are 10 years younger than me now.

I am Mommy to L who is 2 yrs 9 mon old. Our nursing relationship has been strong and steadfast throughout L's first few years. She was an exclusive nurser until 9 mon when she began "playing" with table foods. Really didn't eat for substance until about 2 yrs. And I can tell has substantially cut nursing over the last 6 mon since I now have gained much of my weight back ( ) and seen how she "switches sides" during nursings.
We are really wanting to have another baby, but I am concerned about "weaning" L. We have always thought that we would be child-led, but I feel like I don't see an end in sight. Although she has substantially cut nursings, she still nurses in the night (2-3 times) and sporadically during the day. Often days might be just in the am and to go to sleep, but also there are days where we nurse several times.
What I am most concerned with is the fact that she has always been a pretty intense personality child and substitutions (especially at night or going to sleep) just don't work. Nothing will do but nursing. I can distract during the day, but night it just doesn't work.
We are also facing several changes in our lives. A move this summer, new job for Daddy, beginning school in August, I am concerned that a new baby may just be too much.
Lots of rambling...but eager to get input.
