"We rightly praise the Slavonic letters invented by Cyril, in which praises to God are set forth."
~ Pope John VIII, an excerpt from his sanction of the use of the Slavonic language in the Mass and other church offices, noting the invention by St. Cyril of a special alphabet which now bears his name (Cyrillic); part of the church's civilizing work among the pagan Slavs

Ohio Northern University students honored with Dankook Award
Ohio Northern University presented Dankook Awards to Jayce Born, a senior criminal justice major from Lancaster, Ohio, and Eric Ambos, a senior business management major from Botkins, Ohio, at ONU's Honors Day on April 26.
Presented since 1974, the Dankook Award is an annual reciprocal award exchanged between Dankook University in South Korea and Ohio Northern University. The award recognizes students with outstanding records in academics, student leadership, co-curricular activities and service.
The selection process begins when each ONU undergraduate dean nominates two students to receive the award. Next, ONU's vice president of academic affairs selects two students from this pool of eight and sends their names to the University president for approval. Finally, the two names are sent to Dankook University.
A recipient of the arts and science scholarship and a member of the Honors program, Born will graduate this May with her Bachelor of Arts in criminal justice and psychology. Born is a member of the Mortar Board National Honor, Phi Kappa Phi (the national honor society) and Psi Chi (the national psychology honor society). Born also is a member of Phi Alpha Delta, the pre-law fraternity, for which she served as treasurer, vice president and president. Outside the classroom, Born has been a varsity volleyball player, a member of the ONU Student Athletic Advisory Committee and Good News Bears, and a tutor for the ONU Prison Management System.
Ambos, who will graduate this May from the Dicke College of Business Administration with a Bachelor of Science in management, serves on the Dean's Advisory Council and is currently vice president. Ambos served as the president of the University's Student Senate for two terms and, prior to becoming president, served as the senate's secretary of finance. He is a member of the ONU President's Club and the host of the show "Campus Connections." Ambos plans to attend ONU's Pettit College of Law to pursue his goal of becoming a practicing attorney.

As you navigate the process of downloading 1,000 songs onto that MP3 player you got for Christmas, and then wonder how you're ever going to find them on there, you can ponder for a moment the disappearance of all the hardware that used to be involved with being a music fan — and its consequences.
In spite of being based around a collection of captured sound waves, recorded music was once very much a part of our physical, tangible world. To actually own a piece of someone's artistic vision, we bought the CDs, before that the cassettes, and before that it was 12-inch, two-sided wax albums or the two-sided, two-song "45s."
It's still standard practice for artists to release albums and spin singles off of those, but online shoppers can buy the songs individually from nearly any online service you can name. It's easy to imagine the concept album — or the concept of an album — going the way of the Victrola.
The single was the backbone of the music industry before the Beatles turned the process of assembling songs for an album into an art. You got more for your money, the artists were able to get less radio-friendly songs into their fans' hands, and it was a lot more convenient than getting up every three minutes to flip the record over.
Then, of course, came the Internet, and file-sharing technology that made those homemade mix cassette tapes we used to make laughably primitive. Music was no longer an object, but an idea, a figment, often as free as an e-mailed joke.
MP3 players and iPods made it possible to peel tracks off the computer and bring them to the gym.
The need for all that "stuff" melted away, along with many of the stores we bought them from. On one level this is a victory for the free market and individual choice, especially given the list price for most CDs hovers just below $20; why should we be obligated to pay for someone's ruminations about life and death when all we really wanted is the bouncy party song, or the other way around?
On the other hand, it's hard not to lament losing the chance to stumble on a song you like even better than the one you bought the album for, not to mention those people who can't have or don't want a Web-based existence — it's hard for many of us to imagine, but these people do exist. It boggles the mind to think of how much more expensive CDs could get if they become even more of a niche product.
But, in the end, the free market isn't free.

What is in this article?:
- Overly severe immigration laws weaken the economy
- Rumors had an impact
- "Show me your papers" upheld Monday.
• These kinds of laws make the labor shortage worse.
• Stringent immigration laws hurt ag, overall economy.
• "We can't get domestic workers to pick cucumbers."
CHARLES HALL, left, executive director, Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association, chats with Texas State Senator Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa, before a Texas Produce Association seminar on immigration reform.
The Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act of 2011, signed into law last May by Georgia Governor Nathan Deal, cost the state more than $340 million dollars and more than 3,000 jobs, despite assurances from Governor Deal that eliminating illegal labor would create 11,000 new jobs.
The American Civil Liberties Union sued last June to stop the law. On June 27, 2011, a judge granted a stay on two of the most onerous provisions: "Show me your papers," (requiring any suspected illegal to present documentation) and a provision that made it a felony to knowingly transport an illegal alien.
The "Show me your papers," provision was upheld by the 11th Circuit Court in Atlanta yesterday. The provision that would make it a felony to knowingly transport an illegal alien will remain on hold.
Charles Hall, executive director, Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association, discussed ramifications of this law as part of a panel on immigration reform during the Texas Produce Association annual conference last week in San Antonio.
(For an in-depth look at the Georgia law, see Georgia passes one of nation's toughest immigration laws).
He said Tuesday that the effect the court's decision will have on Georgia agriculture and other industries remains to be seen, but last week warned the Texas Produce Association that if the law were upheld the state could be in trouble.
"We are going to have to wait and see what the reaction is with our migrant harvest crew community," Hall told Farm Press Tuesday. "I have not read the decision yet, so I don't know the specifics, but I did hear that the person has to be involved in some criminal activity to have papers requested."
Last week he outlined the problems the law has imposed on Georgia fruit and vegetable producers.
"Georgia should be the poster child for what not to do with E-Verify (Electronic Employment Verification Program) and illegal worker enforcement," Hall said.
He said Georgia's enforcement regulations are "similar to Arizona's, and E-Verify will be mandatory following a two-year phase-in. All employers who have 10 or more workers have to use E-Verify by July 1, 2013," Hall said.
Hall said even before the 2011 fruit and vegetable harvest got under way reports began coming in about labor shortages. "Harvesters either were not coming in or they were leaving," he said. "A May survey showed that harvest crews were from 30 percent to 50 percent short."
He said last June, Governor Deal released a statement saying the newly enacted law would "create 11,000 employment opportunities." He also suggested use of probationers to take up the slack. "The Department of Corrections did a yeoman's job of helping," Hall said. But the labor shortage was not stemmed.
Hall said before the law took effect Georgia's unemployment rate was 9.6 percent. After the harvest season, the unemployment rate was 9.6 percent. "And about 40 percent of the fruit and vegetable crop was left in the field because of a lack of harvesters," Hall said.
$180 million farm gate loss
That amounted to a $180 million loss at the farm gate. The multiplier effect across the state's economy resulted in a $340 million loss of state revenue.
Hall said agriculture lost 1,512 jobs and total job loss was 3,260, including truckers and others who deal with fresh fruit and vegetable processing and transportation.
"The assumption that E-Verify creates jobs by getting illegal workers out of the state is simply not true," Hall said. "We can't get domestic workers to pick cucumbers."

Chlamydia is good…
Interesting fact for the day:
"Chlamydia is an organism which lives in the body tissues of most healthy koalas. In normal populations, we believe that chlamydia may act as an inbuilt control mechanism to limit the population so that the trees are not overbrowsed, ensuring that only the strongest and fittest animals survive to breed."

Serum immunofixation is a lab test to identify proteins called immunoglobulins in blood. Too much of the same immunoglobulin is usually due to different types of blood cancer. Immunoglobulins are antibodies that help your body fight infection.
Serum immunofixation
A blood sample is needed.
There is no special preparation for this test.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
This test is most often used to check the levels of certain antibodies associated with multiple myeloma and Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia.Those antibodies include IgG, IgM, IgA, lambda light chain forms, and kappa light chain forms.
Immunofixation has also been used to study changes in protein structure (for example, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase), and in the genetic typing of alpha-1 antitrypsin.
A normal result means no monoclonal (meaning an excess of one specific type of) immunglobulins are seen in the blood sample.
An abnormal result may be due to:
There is very little risk involved with having your blood taken. Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

Hi, I really like your blog. You keep the updated on baseball and especially on the Yankees (my second favorite team) but you keep it light as well. It's fun to go around and see what women like what players in the league. I've met Joe Mauer on numerous occasions also, as he played in Davenport, IA for the Quad City River Bandits. I have a question for you, though. How did you get the Players that Move Me box on the right of your blog? I also saw someone's blog who had a My Favorite Players box over there. Let me know if you get the chance. Thanks! Keep your blogging going, it's really good!
That's quite a group! You must have done a lot of research! Will look forward to your NL list next.
I love Grady. And I just wrote about Josh's book in my entry today!! You missed Scott Hairston with the A's though. I think he's pretty hot🙂 By the way, your Facebook link didn't work😦 Maybe I can try again, though.
What an honor for these guys to be on the list. pumped to see the national league list. doubt there will be any pirates though. from the opinion of a straight guy we got a bunch of ugly dudes here in Pittsburgh, you still should check em out though
I spit my diet coke out when I read the caption of that final pic. HIlarious!
Virginia. The captions are hysterical. I liked Ichiro, just like Elvis. You have the best imaginiation! And your comment about your last picture had me laughing so hard. Keep up the great blog!! Now don't forget Andre when you post the other lists.
i love your picks, do you have a facebook?
HAHAHA @ Kurt Suzuki/Melky Cabrera. I hope Melky called "no ****" before [or even after] that nice… er… occurrence. If I were you, Virginia, I'd go there and make sure his mind is on the straight path *wink, wink* Hehe.
Props: You gots a lotta cuties up in there! I'm quite partial to Joe Mauer, myself.😉
Great choices you have there. Joe Mauer is freakin' cute, no doubt. I can't wait until you have a new list of players for NL!
*Still can't rate these lists because I'm a guy lol, but I think we all can agree that Miguel Cabrera looks a little scary in comparison to the others… Maybe it's the beard – I don't know. Can't knock his hitting though – he's one of the best out there…
– And I'm ok Virginia, thanks for caring about me! I had surgery on my groin… I'm out of work for a couple days, maxin' out watching all things baseball. Lovin' it. (Not loving being sore,) – but I need to enjoy the time off while I can. Soon enough, I'll be back at the job and only catching encores at 11:00pm… YES has no idea how much the second-shifters out there appreciate the encores that come on so late. If not for those, I would litterally only catch games on saturdays and sundays… Well, until WE get tickets eventually haha. (You shouldn't of got me started…) Or did I start it? Hmm… Nope – you did. I was jelous of the lists!
Josh Hamilton as a Yankee…I'm not seeing that.

Summaries of EU Legislation
Summaries of EU legislation: direct access to the main summaries page.
Children in EU external action
The European Union (UE) seeks resolutely to promote children's rights and to advance them at international level. This Communication contributes to defining an EU Action Plan on Children in External Action, based on a holistic approach, which takes account of the various aspects of the problem by calling for humanitarian, development, security and human rights policies.
Communication from the Commission to the Council, the European Parliament, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions of 5 February 2008 – A special place for children in EU external action [COM(2008) 55 final – Not published in the Official Journal].
Children and adolescents account for one third of the world's population and half the population in most developing countries. Investing in children therefore means investing in the future. Improving the situation of children makes it possible to prevent State fragility and ensure long-term sustainable development, stability and human security at regional, national and global levels.
Children are vulnerable and so must be placed at the centre of the development, humanitarian aid and external relations policies of the European Union (EU).
The challenges relating to this sector of the population include health, education and training, social inclusion, combating crimes such as human trafficking and sexual exploitation, but also combating child labour and recruitment by armed groups. Some children are particularly at risk, especially in situations of humanitarian crisis. Particular attention must be paid to girls, since they are exposed to additional risks, such as various forms of violence, whether domestic or sexual.
Normative framework
The EU is committed to respecting human rights in general and children's rights in particular under international and European treaties. It adheres to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which establishes four general principles that apply to all actions affecting children: non-discrimination, the best interests of the child, the right of the child to survival and development and respect for the views of the child.
The EU also adheres to the Millennium Declaration and the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and supports the United Nations Plan of Action "A World Fit for Children".
The protection of children's rights is also given particular prominence in the EU's human rights and democratisation policy towards third countries, especially in the context of implementing the EU Guidelines on Children and Armed Conflict and those concerning the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of the Child.
The enlargement process and humanitarian aid are also useful tools to promote children's rights.
Action by the EU
To respond to the many existing challenges, the EU is establishing a framework for a comprehensive approach towards the protection and promotion of children's rights in third countries. This approach must be based on a global, universal view of children's rights. It must also be included in wider development and poverty eradication strategies.
The EU plans to rely on a variety of measures to ensure coordination of its external action, such as:
- development cooperation, so as to address the root causes of poverty;
- trade policy, which must be consistent with the protection and promotion of children's rights. In bilateral agreements, the issue of children's rights is covered by labour standards;
- political dialogue between the EU and the partner countries, which allows emphasis to be placed on the commitments under the Convention on the Rights of the Child;
- regional and global actions which supplement the country-level actions and address issues of a supra-national character;
- empowerment of children and adolescents to play a more active role in matters that affect them directly;
- humanitarian aid, as children are particularly adversely affected by difficult situations resulting from natural disasters or conflicts. Humanitarian aid will focus in particular on separated and unaccompanied children, children associated with armed forces or armed groups and children's education in emergencies.
This Communication follows the 2006 Communication, which proposes the definition of a long-term strategy for the EU in the field of children's rights. It supplements the EU Guidelines for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of the Child, adopted by the Council on 10 December 2007, which forms the basis for the EU action in the field of the protection and promotion of children's rights under its external policy.
Key terms used in the act
- Children not attending school: 72 million, 57 % of whom are girls.
- Children involved in child labour: 110 million.
- Over 50 % of all mothers giving birth are not assisted by a trained midwife.
- Over 3 million children die from complications that arise during or immediately after delivery.
- Over 300 000 children annually are born HIV positive.
- 10 million children die every year from preventable causes before reaching the age of five.

A robber who was shot by police outside a North Side bank last summer was sentenced yesterday to 11 years in prison.
Davis W. Cochrane, 26, of Marcia Drive on the North Side, faces more time behind bars if convicted in an unrelated robbery case that is pending in Mahoning County.
On the morning of Aug. 7, Cochrane was standing at a bus stop near the Fifth Third Bank, 1500 Morse Rd., Columbus police said. He confronted Rafael Hernandez as the Rent-A-Center employee was entering the bank to make a business deposit.
In court yesterday, Hernandez said Cochrane told him: "Give me the money, or I'll shoot you."
The robbery was witnessed by two Columbus police officers inside the bank. One was working special duty. The other, Sgt. Doug Williams, was off duty and cashing a check, police said.
The officers chased Cochrane, and Williams shot him when the fleeing man reached into his waistband, where police later discovered he had concealed a loaded .40-caliber handgun.
Cochrane pleaded guilty on Feb. 10 to aggravated robbery. The 11-year sentence imposed by Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Guy Reece was recommended by both Assistant County Prosecutor Scott C. Kirschman and Public Defender Cathy M. Kurila.
Cochrane is awaiting trial in Mahoning County in the robbery of a woman outside an Austintown bank on Aug. 5, two days before he was shot in Columbus.
Kurila told Reece that Cochrane suffers from depression and suicidal thoughts and had developed a prescription-drug habit. But Cochrane also has the unwavering support of his family and friends, she said.
Cochrane, who disregarded his attorney's advice to remain silent because of the pending Austintown case, told Reece that he was sorry and ready to accept his punishment.
"In a sense, you're fortunate today, because you could have easily been killed," Reece told him. "And that's a position you put yourself in."
Cochrane had pleaded guilty in 2011 to carrying a concealed weapon. His court supervision in that case ended about five months before he was shot.
Cochrane also was arrested in May 2006 after Pickerington police spotted two prowlers outside Pickerington Central High School.
Cochrane told police a few days later that no one had seen his accomplice, Curtis Dorsey, since that night. He said that he and Dorsey, 21, had jumped into a nearby pond to elude officers.
With Cochrane's guidance, a dive team eventually found Dorsey's body in the pond.

These 10 easy steps, both large and small, let you keep the lid on sodium without a whole lot of sacrifice. By: Maureen Callahan, MS, RD
Reduce Sodium for Good Health
As health experts fight among themselves about how much sodium is safe to eat, the reality is that most of us can get by on far less salt (our biggest source of sodium). In fact, much of the salt in restaurant meals and packaged foods is overkill, just excess salt used to pander our palates in the simplest way. But gradually shaving off a little salt here and a little salt there is critical to good health, not just as a way to lower blood pressure but to keep the heart, kidneys, and bones healthy. It's also a way to let other flavors shine through in foods and open your palate to a whole new world of flavor.

Tax filing season
delayed to Jan. 30
Following the January tax law changes made by Congress under the American Taxpayer Relief Act, the Internal Revenue Service will open the 2013 filing season and begin processing individual income tax returns on Jan. 30.
The IRS will begin accepting tax returns on that date after updating forms and completing programming and testing of its processing systems. This will reflect the bulk of the late tax law changes enacted Jan. 2. The announcement means that most tax filers — more than 120 million households — should be able to start filing tax returns starting Jan. 30.
The IRS estimates that remaining households will be able to start filing in late February or March because of the need for more extensive form and processing systems changes.
This group includes people claiming residential energy credits, depreciation of property or general business credits. Most of those in this group file more complex tax returns and typically file closer to the April 15 deadline or obtain an extension.
Vt. man's 'Floyd'
adds new station
SHELBURNE — "Floydian Slip," a weekly Pink Floyd show produced by Craig Bailey of Shelburne, will air on KPAK 97.5 FM in Kiowa, Kan., on Jan. 16.
The station is a 50,000-watt classic rock station serving southern Kansas and northern Oklahoma.
KPAK is the latest to join the show's Random Precision Radio Network, created by Bailey in 2009, when he began syndicating the show from his home studio. "Floydian Slip" is currently heard 45 times a week on 36 stations in the U.S., Canada and overseas.
Bailey aired his first episode of "Floydian Slip" in 1989 on Ithaca College's 106-VIC in Ithaca, N.Y., when he was a television-radio major. He also produced it for Burlington's short-lived WEXP 105.1 FM (Experience 105.1) in 1994, and for 13 years at WCPV 101.3 FM.
In its 20 years, the show has earned mentions in, or served as a resource for, media around the world.

Update (Feb 21):
LITTLE ROCK, AR - A fourth vote in the Arkansas House of Representatives has failed to approve the Private Option funding bill.
This morning's vote of 71-18 was 4 votes short for approval.
The House will take another vote on Tuesday afternoon.Update (Feb 20):
LITTLE ROCK, AR - A third vote in the Arkansas House of Representatives has failed to approve the Private Option funding bill.
This time around the vote was 72-25.
Earlier today, the Arkansas Senate passed the bill with a vote of 27-8.
Update (Feb 19):
LITTLE ROCK, AR - For a second consecutive day, the Arkansas House failed an appropriation funding Medicaid expansion.
The House voted 68-27 for the Department of Human Services budget, which includes a $915 million in federal spending for the "private option."
House speaker Davy Carter, R-Cabot, said despite the vote failing again, progress is being made.
"I'm 100% confident we will pass the appropriation," Carter says.
Meanwhile, a group of senators and representatives opposed to the private option say they would like to see an alternative approved ending the private option in March 2015.
Representative Bob Ballinger (R-Hindsville), says its difficult to break the "status quo" at the state capitol.
"What I'd really like to see is a situation where may be able to sit down and create an alternative that later on will enable some new ideas to come to the program," Ballinger says.
Carter, a fellow Republican says that is not going to happen.
"It takes 51 votes to get anything passed around here," Carter says. "You can't achieve that result by holding the budget process hostage."
Original story (Feb. 18):
LITTLE ROCK, AR -- The Private Option did not get enough votes from the Arkansas House on Tuesday, according to reports.
There were 27 against and 70 in favor, five short of the necessary 75 needed to pass.
The House will vote again Wednesday.

text: What The Churches don't teach Us... monica1968 posted:1/14/2012 9:46:45 AM All religions of all denominations in this world have secret teachings of Karma, reincarnation, And advanced beings who are our creators, and there is no judgement, only by ourselves, that this is a place of learning not punishment. The churches know full well about the cycles of birth and death,how reincarnation works,and the spirit-side, the place we go after our lives here and of the many other beings around the cosmos. But to withold that sort of knowledge over someone else creates power, and ego, which all churches are guilty of partaking in. Imagine how packed the churches would be if they were to actually teach the truth, but that is not the churches way of enlightening, for they would lose that power to control. Our soul is vast, i guess it could be likened to an XBOX, when our soul breaks away from the source, its the same as an Xbox, until the soul takes form its only a soul, much the same as XBOX without the game, we plug in XBOX, and insert a game, on that game there are many levels, a few challenges and rewards, there are hidden chambers and cheats shortcut if u r clever, well much can be said for us, our soul takes form it puts on a costume then plays out that game/life, with the same guise as the XBOX game, challenges levels, and rewards, along with the hidden chambers of knowledge, all knowledge is accessable to everyone, you just got to be at the right level to receive, some knowledge can be obtained by cheating and used in a poisonous way, but its only useful on that level, so what is the point,you wont have the knowledge to go further if you cheat, and you cant go from level one to ten without the others in between, but its up to us all to look for the clues, they are always there, just may not be where you most expected. breeld posted:1/14/2012 4:43:44 PM That was a very good explanation/demonstration, Monica. I`m still trying to figure out reincarnation. I`d have to say I believe it about 85%, but would really like to know 100%. How did you acquire this surety that we reincarnate?monica1968 posted:1/14/2012 6:01:06 PM I have past-life memories, and any doubt that i may have had it was real was put to one side when my mother and i shared the same image memory, it also makes perfect sense once you understand that you are an eternal being, who has lived thousands of lives off and on Earth, although once you get your mind past this concept i will stretch it a bit more,for there is many facets to this, if we are to talk about basics then one would start with death. We may shed our bodies we return to spirit, but we keep our identity of who we are, when we pass over we immediately assess the life we have just lived. what could we have done better or different, or simply just came to learn a particular lesson, or even just to observe. When we incarnate on Earth because of Freewill and karma its easy to get pulled into situations either by having children or relationships, we get bogged down and create situations that keep us tied until all karma is repayed. there is of course a get out of jail free card on this one, if you can identify what needs to be addressed in this life and perhaps resolve the situation by asking the parties involved for forgiveness, or in the least to release each other from destructive patterns, because by doing this you all see that continuing with negative traits will keep you bound to each other whether you like it or not. by seeing the pattern you are half way to addressing the issues that keep you bound.breeld posted:1/15/2012 6:14:13 AM I`ve only had one memory that may or may not be past life memory. I am white, but when I see a little black girl with braids and beads in her hair, just for a flash, I`m not me-I am someone braiding and beading that hair. It has happened often enough that it makes me wonder. It`s over in an instant, but always leaves me with a stange, almost excited feeling. I am a barber/hairdresser, but have never braided and beaded hair. Like I said, don`t know if it`s past life, but sure is weird. monica1968 posted:1/15/2012 7:56:41 AM Well go with it, when you got an hour sit down and meditate, our minds will always open if we allow, then go back to the scene, place yourself there, now imagine the smells, try and look around soak up the atmosphere,and how you may have been feeling. Our minds are powerful, and will always give us clues to any of the issues we are having in this life. The subject of past-life has been met with some reservations, especially as it seems that many people look up and say that they were Julius Caesar or Cleopatra or some other fanciful character. Well it is possible that its entirely plausible and now i shall attempt to explain why this maybe the case. When the majority of people have been incarnating on Earth for a while it becomes easier to understand the workings of Earth-life, as all lives are recorded every part[emotions etc]. But what of the new wave of souls that are coming in, what have they got to be able to understand how Earth-life works, to a gentle soul who has never experienced violence the heaviness of 3d life can shatter their spirits, they have nothing substantial to cling onto, so the powers that be who are our Creators/custodians have devised a system, what they do is overlay someone else's life experiences, its called imprinting, the person who is new here would never know that it wasn't his or her lives, it doesn't matter, but it seems that sometimes this isn't enough, you can tell one of these new souls, there are 3 age brackets late 50s- early 60s then late 30s-early 40s and late teens to early 20s, they are very sensitive, and have real aims to come and incarnate to help people here wake up to who they are and take responsibility for our part in making this a heavy world, full of negative vibes, but things are changing, people are now waking up to the fact that 3D earth is just a playground and school, they are waking up to the fact that there is indeed much more to life if we look for itmonica1968 posted:1/15/2012 8:05:53 AM In Reply To:breeld posted:1/15/2012 6:14:13 AM I`ve only had one memory that may or may not be past life memory.

Is there a sense of belonging in that memory, or one of being alone ? you are being shown this flash for a reason, its up to you how you proceed, all of us incarnating here have to be all faiths all creeds in turn but in no order to completely understand every situation, so it absolutely normal to be of another race in the past-life context. the above post was for you awswell, i wrote this in as an afterthought.jaguarsky posted:1/15/2012 10:35:22 AM I believe there are two types of "reincarnation". Firstly I believe in genetic memory. Scientists are pretty darn sure that some animal species have it; elephants for instance. So why is it so far fetched to think that we might also? I have had some very vivid memories of standing on a foggy quay in a long dark woolen dress and heavy wool shawl. I had the feeling that I was waiting for someone. I have also felt the rush of wind into sails as I watched the tall ships sailing in New England. I kneviscerallyly how it feels when the wind seizes the sails and how the ship feels under your feet as she catches and begins to move forward. I have never been on a sailing ship in my life; this life. But my ancestors came from Ireland and England to this country iW's's and then another branch in the earlW's's. Those intrepid predecessors would certainly have known that feeling. But, I also have had some vivid memories of a Greek temple where I was a servant and had as a small child had quite connection to the Goddess Isis. Which I must say twisted my fundamentalist parents into tight little bunches. I also used to sit for hours making clay (mud) mummiforms. I don't know why. My hispanic roots go back to the Sephardic Jews I am told, so perhaps one group of my ancestors came out of those Greek and Egyptian parts of the world: the Mediterainian, Middle East and North Africa, not to mention all of the land that those civilizations conquered. Oh, I also knew how to belly dance and dance flamenco by the time I was four. Again, my behavior left my folks less than pleased. All of my memories I believe can be explained by genetic memory. That concept seems only logical. Following that thread it leads us to the subject of immortality. If everyting that all of my ancestors learned and experienced is somehow stored in my DNA, then they are indeed immortal. As long as my line continues. But I have come across enough situations where there seems to be no relation to an ancestor. The memories and physical markers sometimes seen in reincarnation stories have no possible association to the subject who has experienced them. Although I do think that if one could dig deep enough there may be some slight connection, such as a grandparent hearing of or seeing an incident that left a great impression on them and then passing that information through genetic memory. Even taking that into account there are many cases which simply defy any other explanation than spontaneous reincarnation of one soul to a new body, without any familial or cultural connections at all. I do know that ALL things are connected. I don't have the vaguest idea of how this might work, although apparently it does and well. Sometimes the string is long, sometimes short. Sometimes it takes many strings of varying length and strength to make a connection. It is something for the scientists and sages to contemplate and even then it will make no difference what they decide. It just is what it is.monica1968 posted:1/15/2012 4:42:25 PM OOOh jaguar what a cracking piece, and your explanation would certainly explain why we would incarnate into particular family lines, perhaps for the specifics of this life-time we lead now, we are said to choose the parents and situations with various people, that if we were to choose the same people we would need that particular genetic material to lead this life, to create the conditions for us to learn, or teach, and that we all come from the same source, no matter what costume we wear then that is all we need to know for total peace of our souls.macros72 posted:1/15/2012 6:15:14 PM I have a "oddness" memory about the ancient Egyptian period. I recall a brief "memory" of being stood high upon a hill. I observe something below, many others are with me, some chanting and laughing etc. Below us is a gigantic cube made out of stone blocks! Those around me seem amazed and shocked whilst I just stare. Now, I know such things have never been found in Egypt so it must be some garbled, miss mash memory?breeld posted:1/15/2012 6:30:28 PM Well jaguarsky, I, too believe in genetic memory. Or cellular memory. I even asked my mother if she had braided and beaded hair, in case it was a memory passed down from her. (She hadn`t.) My great grandmother was a full indian, and it crossed my mind that could be where the memory came from, but I know it`s really not. I can even see the hair, the parting and sectioning off, etc., and it`s nothing like Indian hair. So how would one determine whether a memory is from reincarntion or inherited? I will try the meditation, as Monica suggested, to see if I can get anything further. I just have a problem meditating. I fall asleep.spooky1 posted:1/15/2012 7:03:56 PM I too have a problem meditating, I cant keep my mind from spinning with thoughts. Danm A.D.D. !breeld posted:1/15/2012 7:36:56 PM Spooky, I have the Jose Silva cd`s. They work,somewhat, but I just always try doing it myself. Guess I need to go back to the cd`s again.JOSMAN087 posted:1/16/2012 4:14:03 AM Cant go from level 1 - 10? Speak for yourself, lol. J/K. But good way of putting it.breeld posted:1/16/2012 7:30:22 AM Josman: Were you referring to the Silva cd`s? Well, I do great-he talks me down really easily, and I`m all dreamy and floaty-then he gets to the part that says "feel your feet and legs (etc) feel as if they don`t belong to you." Well, there goes my mind-trying to think and feel. I`m thinking "how the hell do I make my feet and legs feel like they don`t belong to me?" "How is it supposed to feel?" And on and on. So I just get frustrated give it up. If I could get past that, I`d probably make some progress. But at least I don`t fall asleep with the Silva ones. lol Please log in or become a member to add a post.

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Jay Howell was one of the best relievers in the National League during his five seasons with the Dodgers. L.A. fans might remember him best as he was suspended for two games of the NLCS against the Mets after being ejected for having pine tar on his glove. It was the first time a pitcher was suspended from a championship series.

Matamoras explores impacts of drilling on June 30th
Matamoras Borough Council and Matamoras Municipal Authority in Pike County, PA are co-sponsoring an evening to examine the potential impacts of gas drilling on the water supply and community of Matamoras on June 30 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Matamoras Borough Hall Annex at 10 Avenue 1. A presentation by Tracy Carluccio, Deputy Director, Delaware Riverkeeper Network, will review the issues and open a discussion of what the controversial development of natural gas in the Upper and Middle Delaware River means for Matamoras and the region. For information call Matamoras Borough at 570/491-2771.
EPA identifies PA Sites for national study on hydraulic fracturing
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced the next steps in its congressionally mandated hydraulic fracturing study. EPA has identified seven case studies to assess the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources. Three of the case studies will take place in Pennsylvania in the Marcellus Shale. The sites identified were selected following extensive input from stakeholders, including the public, local and state officials, industry, and environmental organizations. The EPA will begin field work in some of the selected regions this summer. Two of the seven sites were selected as prospective case studies, where EPA will monitor key aspects of the hydraulic fracturing process throughout the lifecycle of a well. Washington County, PA will serve as one of those study sites. Five additional retrospective case studies were selected from 40 nominations and will examine areas where hydraulic fracturing has occurred for any impact on drinking water resources. Three of the five are located in Bradford, Susquehanna and Washington counties, PA. Visit www.epa.gov/hydraulicfracturing [1] for a copy of the draft study plan and additional information.
DEP Fines Chief Oil & Gas $180,000 for Oil Spill, Waste Violations
The Department of Environmental Protection has announced that Chief Oil & Gas LLC has paid $180,000 in civil penalties for a hydraulic oil spill and for failing to properly maintain a drill pit at a Marcellus Shale natural gas well in Jefferson Township, Somerset County. A June 10, 2010 site inspection by DEP found evidence of the discharge of hydraulic oil onto the ground. Operators are required to notify DEP of any spills of that nature because the oil is classified as a residual waste. Chief did not notify DEP of the spill and was not permitted to discharge residual waste at the site. Chief Oil & Gas has since successfully remediated the site.
Catskill Citizens mails 158,000 fracking brochures
On June 30th, Catskill Citizens for Safe Energy will mail the brochure "What Do You Know about Hydraulic Fracturing?" to every household in Delaware, Sullivan, and Ulster counties in New York. The mailing is scheduled to coincide with the release of the revised draft version of the Supplemental Generic Environmental Impact Statement by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation which may allow gas drillers to use a controversial technique known as high-volume hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," which has never been permitted in the state before. Fracking involves injecting millions of gallons of toxic fluid underground to release methane trapped in shale formations. It has already been linked to over 1,000 cases of water contamination in other parts of the country, including Pennsylvania. "Education is the key to a sane energy policy for our state" says Catskill Citizens member Bruce Ferguson. The project was made possible by a grant from the Civil Society Institute.

Santa David
Talk about the David Wright Goatee Watch 2006! Looks like our third baseman's letting it run wild in the off-season. And what's with the new glasses, David Claus?
Truly, though, who else would have been the Mets annual Santa? David Wright has absolutely become the public face of the organization (Wright Flight, anyone?), famous for his press-perfect soundbytes and flawless manners. And I'm happy to have him representing the team.
By the way? Neighborhood rumors have it that D-Wright has moved just a couple blocks west and a few blocks north of my apartment. Wonder if I'll run into him at the local shops! There are some very good menswear stores near his new apartment building–perhaps even GQ Man of the Year worthy.
For now, I'll leave you with this, our own dear David, talking about Barry Zito in his usual calm on-air demeanor. And in a Santa suit. I pretty much adore it.
Happy Holiday time, lovely people!

Okay, I love David but could they have at least had him take off the beard? I couldn't really watch it because I was laughing.
If Cliff sees that he'll never let David live it down.
Good to see a post. How the heck are you?
Have a happy holiday to you and your best.
I cant wait until the season starts so I am going to catch the Mets play the Orioles at the Hall of Fame game on March 21st. Just wanted to rub it in. hahaha.
Tkae care and I hope to see more from you in the coming months leading up to the season.
Hey girl! I haven't had a good PC that can log in to this but I have been around reading your posts.
Happy Holidays and catcha later girly… not if you catch David first (and give him some subtle tips while shopping *wink*)
Zoe… guess where Omar is today? He's flying out to SoCal for a meeting w/ Zito! Hopefully he brings us home an ace…
~ Eddie @ Willie Ball
I nearly photographed MY tele and sent you the pic, but I assumed (correctly) that you were all over it.
Happy holidays.
Happy birthday to Rickey Henderson.

I see a lot of statistics concerning firearm fatalities, especially in the wake of the Newtown, CT shootings and the subsequent call for more gun bans. Please allow me to give you some other statistics to think about, if we all want our children to be safer.
In a study sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), during the 2005-06 school year, the high school sports-related injury and death rate was 2.4 per 1,000 incidents among all sports and 4.36 per 1,000 incidents for football in particular. There are 67,000 diagnosed concussions per year, and in the 2008-09 school year, there were 120 sports related deaths, a number that has been steadily on the rise from year to year.
In contrast, firearm related fatalities were approximately .03 per 1,000 incidents. I would think that any reasonable person would conclude from this data that high school sports should be banned, with football being the first to go in order to ensure the safety of our children. I'm sure a lot of folks think that banning sports is a ridiculous idea, but it's just as ridiculous to me that some would ban certain firearms in the name of "safety." Is it any less tragic for children to be injured or killed by playing sports? I think not, but yet we encourage our kids to participate in school sports. We cheer them on and think nothing of the fact that they are 100 times more at risk of injury or death than they are from being shot.
Remember that these statistics came from the CDC. I didn't make them up.
I hope that this comparison will encourage some of you gun-hating folks out there to see things a bit differently. Should something be done about all violence? Yes. But banning "things" isn't the answer. Let's all get together and think of some common-sense ways to deal with the problem.

The two losses ended the season for the local girls, but they had a good run in the all-star postseason tournaments.
The Beeville girls went undefeated through both the District 29 and Section IV tournaments. The state competition was tougher, and the difference was a well-placed hit or two along with a few unforced errors.
The Beeville girls lost in the state tournament's opener on Friday night to the eventual East Texas state champ, Huffman, 9-1.
"Our errors came back and got us. But, we'll be ready for Saturday's game against Northshore," said manager Artie Flores on Saturday morning.
Huffman scored three runs in the bottom of the first to jump ahead of Beeville. A couple of walks and one base hit along with a throwing error pushed all three runs across for Huffman.
Huffman added a single run in the second inning after blanking the Beeville bats in the top half of the frame. Beeville hit the ball, but it went right at a Huffman defender, and the girls from Huffman played good defense. The few hits Huffman got off starter Kailey Perez were not blasts but short pops into shallow right or on the ground just out of the reach of a Beeville infielder.
The third inning went by scoreless with Huffman still holding a 4-0 advantage. The Beeville girls got on the scoreboard in the fourth as leadoff batter Kayla Johns was hit by a pitch. Madelyn Rodriguez followed with a single to place runners at second and third as she took second on a late throw to third as Huffman tried to catch the speedy Johns. A fielder's choice off the bat of Perez brought the run home. The single run was all the Beeville girls would get as the Huffman defense stepped up and got the final out on another grounder.
Huffman put the game away with five big runs in the bottom of the fourth. Three singles, two walks and a Beeville error scored the runs. Saleen Flores relieved Perez and the Beeville girls got the final two outs.
That made it a 9-1 contest, and that score held up the rest of the way as Huffman captured the opening round contest.
Saturday's game was against Northshore, and the Beeville girls rebounded from Friday's loss with a decisive 11-4 victory to advance into the championship contest on Sunday against Huffman again.
A win in the game on Sunday would a force another game with the undefeated Huffman squad in the double elimination tournament.
The game was close, but Beeville errors let the Huffman girls escape with a hard-fought 10-8 victory and the East Texas state championship.
No further details of games two and three were provided.

Preserving a legacy
Today marks the 70th anniversary of D-Day – June 6, 1944.
On that day, some 155,000 allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy in France and the fight to retake Europe from the clutches of Nazi Germany was fully engaged.
According to the website for the D-Day museum, before the battle of Normandy was officially over in August of 1944, some 425,000 Allied and German troops died, were wounded or were officially missing.
Twenty-seven military cemeteries in the area hold the graves of over 110,000 soldiers.
A program on television revealed that the supreme Allied commander, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, had written a note on the eve of the invasion taking full responsibility if the attack failed. Luckily, the success of the Allied attack made the letter moot and its existence remained hidden for years.
The fighting in Europe went on for another 11 months and hostilities in the Pacific continued until August 1945.
The brave soldiers had saved the world from tyranny. The sacrifices made by those service people allowed the Western Allies to go on to build the most affluent society in history. A middle class flourished.
Now, as we look back at all the sacrifices made, we need to ask ourselves if we are worthy successors to that "Greatest Generation." It is a good time to rededicate ourselves to the ideals they fought for – and make sure we don't squander their legacy.

Good question. While actively in the throes of an existential crisis, I continue to wade through life, searching for an answer that might never reveal itself. Less than thrilled with the results of an Internet search, I pressed on and discovered a disquieting website (www.existentialcrises.com [2]) that simply presented a black page with the words "you are alone." Lovely. Undaunted, I persevered and wallowed briefly in the not-so-uplifting lyrics penned by James Rado and Gerome Ragni for the "great American tribal love rock musical"—"Hair."
As the song (music by Galt MacDermot) poses the questions:"Where is the something? Where is the someone, that tells me why I live and die?," the answers continued to elude me, so I picked up the phone and called Country Joe McDonald (www.countryjoe.com [3]) while he was en route to the event gallery at Bethel Woods (www.bethelwoodscenter.org [4]), to ask him. While the show that Country Joe is currently touring (A tribute to Woody Guthrie) is about (among other things) the Great Depression, he assured me that it has nothing to do with the sort of depression I am currently experiencing, so I (gratefully) became momentarily sidetracked by our conversation.
My list of questions for Country Joe proved helpful, and our chat covered a wide range, including his years with The Fish, their appearance at Woodstock, the antiwar movement of the '60s and the current political climate. All that aside, this tour is all about Guthrie, this being the 100th anniversary of his birth, and how his songs, lyrics and stories still reverberate, shedding wisdom, humor and pathos along the way.
"My dad was a lot like Woody," Country Joe said, "and Guthrie's music was a part of our household growing up. This show is called a tribute because he was one of my heroes in the same way Will Rogers was—both men were considered 'unmanageable' personalities, and neither one ever achieved a lot of commercial success—so I can relate." With the song from "Hair" still playing in my head, I considered the lyric that suggested I "follow the children," wondering aloud if there is "an answer in their sweet faces," and asked Country Joe if he thought apathy reigned supreme with today's youth.
"Absolutely not," he responded, going on to say that he thinks "children are more knowledgeable today" than the generation before them. "I find that if you skip a generation..." he momentarily mused, before moving on. "As far as my audience is concerned, a lot of folks don't know that during the war in Vietnam, I worked mostly with vets, and have spent the past 30 years talking with military families and staff. Not a single person involved with today's antiwar sentiment has ever contacted me to participate in what they are doing... and that's okay."
While hardly hiding from his history as a "voice of a generation," Country Joe concentrates his efforts these days on sharing the Woody Guthrie experience with a new generation, unwilling to allow Guthrie's legacy to flag. Although his new album ("Time Flies By") does address issues that threaten society's past and current comfort zone (ecology, industry, big brother and big business), Country Joe has no complaints. "I've had a very interesting, wonderful life" he said. "My kids are happy, I'm happy and consider myself a lucky guy."
Unable (or unwilling) to not refer to the anthem he created, the "Fixin' to Die Rag" ("and it's one, two, three—what are we fighting for?"), Country Joe acknowledged his contribution to the mindset of hippies everywhere, but suggested that in many ways "nothing has changed. These issues are part of our ongoing history," he said, recommending that we go ahead on ahead. "Keep it simple, don't get sucked in," he said. "Woody is as relevant today as 100 years ago: think globally, act locally."
Armed with some uplifting and sage advice from an (IMHO) fascinating man and consummate entertainer, I glanced at the lyrics one last time. "Follow the river, follow the wind song" seemed apropos as I made my way to the Delaware Youth Center (www.delawareyouthcenter.org [5]) in Callicoon, to participate in the kick-off for "Rollin' Down the River," a series of concerts benefiting Damascus Citizens for Sustainability (www.damascuscitizens.org [6]). The afternoon was filled with wonderful music, children's laughter in the air and community spirit in abundance. Uplifted, I made my way home after stopping for a brief respite on the banks of the beautiful and endangered Delaware.
Slipping a CD into the player, I allowed the song to wash over me as I drove through the glorious countryside. "Where do I go?" the lyrics asked "Follow my heartbeat, follow my hand... where will they lead me?" Unsure, I sang along. "Down to the gutter, up to the glitter, into the city, where the truth lies."

Hey I most of all need a word of encouragment. I have been EPing for my DD for 9 months almost now (and working my butt off with it!) and had never had any supply issues.
Then a month ago I started weight training at the gym and after 2 weeks I saw a drop. So I stopped working out and my milk supply recovered -- though not completely. Then I was sick shortly after and missed some pumps and my suppy dropped to about 30 oz a day, which was still adequate for my DD. BUT NOW I have just nearly killed my supply after this past week of missing pumps while at Disney World. My supply is now at 20 oz / day with me doing 7-8 pumps a day (including night ones) -- and it has been this way for the past 3 days now.
I know EPing is not the same as BFing but I have been getting no reponses on my EP forum, so I came with a couple questions you may have thoughts on.
1) Does the amount of time I pump truely play a big factor? I have been under the impression that frequency of pumps was more important. For the past 3 months I have been pumping at 7 mins a session, but now I am thinking I should pump longer? Do you know if that matters?
2) Do you think this late in the game (9 mos) my supply CAN make a comeback????
3) Also, there is a possibility that I am PG as of this month, but that could not effect supply so soon right? I know around 3 months PG milk production could dip or stop. Or so I have heard.
Anyway, I am getting ready to mourn the pseudo-quasi-breastfeeding relationship; I had already given up on ever getting her to the breast (we haven't yet gotten the bottle to work!), but I feel like this was one of the few things I could do to help her, esp medically speaking with all her issues (she has poor immune issues and is likely to have a below normal IQ). I am trying not to let the stress get to me! But I was hoping to make it to a year.

Rated 4.8 out of 5Â by 24 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Teni Great texture and weight. This is the most beautiful Damask bedspread I have ever seen. It looks like the one back in my childhood days. The weight is perfect, heavy enough but not too much. I love it and recommend it to anyone. I had looked for two years for one like it and all of the sudden, on the face page of my computer it showed up. Thanks,Inez June 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by newyorker bedspread I was very pleased with the bedspread. looks great and well made. March 28, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5Â by principal Reviews are important I recently purchased a king bed with the high mattresses. I read one of the reviews stating that although a bit short, the bedspread worked with the higher mattresses. That sounded promising to me! I then called customer service and asked for the precise measurement of bed cover. The customer service person could not have been nicer. She gave me the measurements. I cut string to the exact measurements, placed them on the bed and saw exactly where the spread would end. End of story - I purchased it and could not be happier. October 21, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Old Fashioned Gal Perfect Bedspread I have a new Queen bed and none of my current quilts/bed skirts fit right. I was looking for a bedspread with some weight to it and that would coordinate with other traditional blue items I have in my bedroom. This bedspread was perfect. Given my mattress set is new and slightly higher than older sets, I did order the King size and it's worked really well. It's just a bit long on the sides, however much better than the 3 inches off the floor that was the issue other bedspreads. July 13, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Antiques lover Simple, beautiful perfection This bedspread is EXACTLY what I was looking for and is even better than I could have imagined. I inherited the carved wood family bed (came over from Europe in the 1850s) and could not just throw something ordinary on it. I looked into dozens of old-fashioned, heirloom quality cotton bedspreads and decided to purchase this one about three months ago. It is absolutely beautiful. Looks fantastic, is a great weight, washes easily in my front loading washer. I cannot emphasize how nice this looks and how great the quality is. June 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by M W Memories Just like my grandma had when I was a kid. Quality is superb. Going to save up so I can redo our guest room beds! June 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MomMom2 Couldn't be more perfect. I have been thinking about replacing my bedspread for years and when Vermont County offered free shipping I decided that it was now or never. After receiving this gorgeous spread I wonder why I ever hesitated. Such a beautiful spread with a quality weight and feel to it. I know I will have this for years and years. June 1, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Retired Navy Old Style King Size Bed Spread We were looking for a bedspread to fit our king size bed. Most do not cover the box springs well enough reach to the floor. The Queen Victoria Bedspread covers the box springs and reaches the floor on the end of the be. It is still 6 inches short on each side. But, it is much better than anything else we have tried. The quality is exceptional. Thanks February 6, 2015

Hello...I am a 1st time mom...my daughter is almost 7 weeks old now.I will go back to work as a teacher when she is almost 12 weeks...I have been using my pump in stly to gather a supply now...but have a few questions I REALLY need answered..
1) can I pump straight into the same bag or ALL day and then freeze..I have been putting it in the fridge til the next feeding..after she is done I am pumping out extra straight into the bag and at the end of the day freezing....I am hearing conflicting ideas.
2) what steps do I need to take to clean my pump after each use...When I boil my parts they get a white film on them...which leads to question 3
3) Is this film from boiling safe? or should I use the dishwasher???
4) Is there a Medela glass bottle, or are the soft plastic ones safe..I am hearing that hard plastic or glass is better, but cannot find any to fit my pump....
I know this is a lot, I just am sooo consumed with her having breast milk and don't want to mess up..
thanks abrenna

This week is National Travel and Tourism Week, which sound a little innocuous in and of itself. Who doesn't like travel and tourism right? But this week actually deserves little deeper thought and consideration, because travel and tourism is in fact big business, and its impact on the Greater Madison region is significant.
Here are just a few numbers to support that claim, Tourist spending in Dane County in 2012 totaled $1.7 Billion. Nineteen thousand-466 jobs are supported directly by tourism spending. And Dane County is ranked 2nd in the state in tourism expenditure.
Compared to some equivalent industries, tourism is clean, smart and fun. The spinoffs from people who come to visit and like what they find are endless. Fortunately our Greater Madison Convention and Visitors Bureau is among the best. But they, and tourism and travel businesses throughout our community, need continued support. Tourism is big business, but its also good business. Let's keep it strong.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, the world's largest contract maker of chips, said that it did not see Intel Corp. as a threat to its foundry business even after the latter decided to give one of TSMC's customers access to its 22nm process technology, an unprecedented decision for the chip giant.
Achronix Semiconductor Corp. has been manufacturing its field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) using TSMC's 65nm fabrication process. But on Monday the company said that Intel had granted its access to its own 22nm manufacturing technology for its future FPGAs; as a result, the contract maker lost a customer. Nonetheless, TSMC said it was "not worried about some potential challenge posted by Intel, and will remain its lead in the contract manufacturing business through continuous R&D efforts", reports DigiTimes web-site.
Intel has never made any chips for third parties. However, the company may need certain products that it cannot make itself to exist in order to sell its microprocessors. For example, the USA military institutions want everything they use to be manufactured in the U.S., which means that Achronix would never make chips for those organizations at TSMC.
Another question is what percentage of Intel's manufactured capacity is utilized. Over time the company may try to somehow enter contract manufacturing business to keep all of its capacities utilized fully at all times since state-of-the-art process technologies and production tools can pay for themselves only when used massively.

"Between heresy and schism there is this difference, that heresy perverts dogma, while schism, by rebellion against the bishop, separates from the Church. Nevertheless there is no schism which does not trump up a heresy to justify its departure from the Church."
~ St. Jerome, (In Ep. ad Tit., iii, 10), remarking on how practically and historically, heresy and schism nearly always go hand in hand.

NEW YORK (AP) — Macy's says it has looked into an actor's claim that he was stopped because of his race while shopping at the flagship Manhattan store.
The company says no employees were involved in any detention or questioning of Rob Brown.
Brown works on the HBO series "Treme." He says he was detained nearly an hour by police on June 8 after employees contacted authorities about possible credit card fraud. The actor, who is black, has filed a lawsuit.
Macy's says there's no record of any employee contacting authorities about Brown's purchase. The store says police officers requested use of a room in the building and that request was granted.
Brown's account comes after claims from two black shoppers said they were racially profiled at Barneys New York.
