Race to Wilson Building Begins
10/31/2012, 1:13 p.m.
While at least two incumbent Council members in the District of Columbia are running uncontested for this Tuesday, Nov. 6, general election, there are several ward races that are hotly contested. Beyond the At-Large race, here's a look at the other races and the candidates for the D.C. Council.
Ward 7 Race
Council member Yvette Alexander [D] versus Ron Moten [R]
The Ward 7 incumbent Democrat Council member Yvette Alexander is running against Republican candidate Ron Moten after she bested a crowded field in the Democratic primaries in April. In what should be an easy victory for Alexander, who has the backing of Mayor Vincent C. Gray, political watchers aren't sure, especially since Moten was recently endorsed by The Washington Post, which stated he "offers refreshing energy, community insights and an appealing independence."
Alexander was voted Ward 7 Council member for the east of the river neighborhoods in 2007 after then-Council member Gray left an opening to pursue the chairmanship after Chair Linda Cropp sought to become mayor. A native Washingtonian who grew up in Ward 7, Alexander has a bachelor's from Howard University and has done graduate work at Trinity College. Before becoming a council member, she was a District insurance regulator.
"My vision for Ward 7 is to make it a destination community, which comprises model communities to live, work, shop, eat and enjoy arts and entertainment," said Alexander, 51. "Progress has taken place from Northeast to Southeast and I'm ensuring that these projects are completed." Alexander said major revitalization plans started during her tenure include Skyland, Parkside, Penn Branch, East Capitol Gateway, and Reservation 13. "It takes continuity of leadership to complete these plans." Alexander said education, affordable housing, homeownership, declining crime, accessible health care options and a growing sector of business owners are among the areas she sees improvement in her ward.
At least two Ward 7 residents agree with the direction Alexander is taking the ward.
"I think she has done a pretty good job and I'm a strong supporter of hers and I wish her well," said Jerome Brocks, 63, a longtime Hillcrest resident and retired Anne Beers Elementary School teacher. "She hasn't done everything I'd like done, but she was a strong supporter for education and her leadership is strong."
Arrelle Anderson, a five-year resident who's also a small business owner, said she supported Alexander because she found her to be "accessible as she constantly stays in touch with me and encourages me."
Moten, who calls himself a "Civil Rights Republican," is a fifth generation Washingtonian. He attended Roosevelt Senior High School and majored in history at Park Community College in Allenwood, Pa. He's a co-founder of the nonprofit, Peaceoholics, which provides prevention and intervention for at-risk youth and their families.
"In a recent debate, Ms. Alexander was asked to identify or brag about one thing she has started in nearly six years as a council member representing Ward 7 and she could not," said Moten, 42. "I would talk about the more than 160 children I helped send to college, and supported while in college. Most of those students our community had given up hope [on] and were in gangs and crews. I could talk about ... the work of the Peaceoholics in the schools, and my work in Ward 7 communities like Benning Terrace." Moten said he'll tackle abusive taxes and fees, education, job creation, incorporating Ward 7 residents into positive economic development and lift the ban on vending licenses east of the river.

Quarter Life Baby Ban
By Jayce Scott · December 9, 2010
You hear this? Restaurants, fancy resorts, cruise ships, airlines and bars
are joining the movement to ban crying, out of control kids from their
establishments. And sans their inattentive parents!
Go ahead, hit the article web search, it is every where www-wise. Latest
airline survey had over 60% of passengers in favor of a kid ONLY section
on flights. Last week some seaside bar in NC banned the Ritalin soaked
kids and their X-Y-¼ Life Gen birthers from the premises. Okay there might
have been some MTV reality show, "Teen Mom" types and an occasional cougar
who finally got the husband with the cash for in-vitro. But you parents
know who you are.
Among the many great moments of Homer Simpson's wisdom, there was a
particular timely line dealing with parenting and the rest of us without
Upon hearing he was going to get his taxes raised for school improvements,
"What the hell? We would never had these damn kids if we knew we'd have to
pay for them!"
Is it the newest wave of discrimination? Where is the ACLU when you need
them? Are we all just intolerant of misbehaved kids? Do we just like quiet
dinners with a date?
Do we not love our neighbors…and their kids? Do we have to tune them out
over the rest of the TGIF crowd or in a panic cry out, "Ummm…Mam, Sir…is
that your kid hanging off the balcony?
Or is this your wee one who I just found fishing his Pokeman cards out of
the men's room toilet? Or is this your Burberry $1,300 stroller parked in
the emergency exit?
Now there are a few Quarter Lifers out there who have done the baby making
thing. Most have tried the first portion of the process, but hopefully
with proper protective forethought, monthly timing for strict Catholics
(right) and a little luck after being lucky, there were not any 40-week
gestation mistakes.
And I know the beauty of childbirth and rearing a kid can be awesome. I
was a kid…and I am SURE I was an absolute joy, 24-7 for my parentals. From
diaper crap to my adult crud they are still the loving, kind, awesome baby
boomers I hope to make proud.
I also saw that National Geographic special on human birth, and I had no
idea the color green was involved. Purple, red, white, even yellow…but are
there green things in the human female body?
Back on track. Baby Banning. There is a societal trend to not put up with
those who are our future. 'Til we at least make some of our own. Not too
much to ask that just because you had sex, got knocked up, the Nuva-ring
did not exactly live up to its promises or your carefully laid out plans
of the brownstone home, $80K job out of college, marriage, color match
décor between crib & nursery, and the Juno husband did not read the BOOK;
life plans put you in the grocery aisle with one of those Hummer shopping
carts…I, moi QL suddenly have to put up with it?
Should I be more tolerant of kids and the difficult job of parenting?
Should I go along with this trend to make the world safe for adults as
well as brats?
Should I make another me?
Today I am going to "secretly" post my reasons for neither making a kid or
even putting up with other breeders. It's a secret cuz me no want da
fiancé to get wind I might be making my way to vasectomy town. Maybe I
will have a change of heart in a few days and post up a few reasons to
procreate. For now…here is why baby banning for this ¼ lifer is the way to
I am under 30 and not want to die early…Your kid just sneezed swine flu
H12-J11H9 all over my steak?
If it is lost? I have to worry? I hear you can get big time cash for these
things. $50k for a good white baby and I hear Angola on a weird reverse of
marketing is offering to buy back Brad-Gelina style kids. Jobs are hard to
find in the QL, got to get cash where ya can. What you thinking blogging
is going to put my Rhodes Scholar through school?
Not every kid will have Will Smith privileges? I got ID4 and MIB. Will
you, and your kid are already getting old. Fresh you ain't and I do not
want to subject my kid to another round of Jazzy Jeff.
Every other day should I freak about , there is some sort of magenta, pink
alert on the highway sign for some missing twerp? He/she snuck out for a
7-11 slurpee run, Nycol at Walgreens or your weird shut-in neighbor with a
collection of nostalgia candy has him…not my problem. Side note, a third
of my QL has been dedicated to the color coded alert system. The other day
I flew into La Guardia, and there was a sort of color brite sign with a
rain bow on it. I freaked. Was this the end? Ummm which color, all the
colors? Is there a gay attack? What about Kermit the Frog? Turns out it
was a sign for smoothies.
Wow. I just picked up my niece from elementary school. Their top secret
double bubble ultra protection was that I have a bright pink, in-school
laminated tag with her name on it. Dat's it! That gets me past the
security. Let'em stay at school…be or deal with the bully…let them fall
off the gym equipment without the helmets and spongy material under the
jungle gym. (Can I still use that world, jungle gym? Oh…okay. I am told it
was a specific reference and we are cool on censors) Man, that was rant.
Can I use the word "man" anymore…?
What? Because she is cute or he butt ugly or whatever it's gender; is
covered in hardened Mickey D's pump ketchup, I have to wonder why it is
peeing on the floor in said restaurant's MEN's room. I spent a good
portion of my QL watching a lot of CSI-everywhere. When I see kids covered
in red anything, roaming around by themselves…I start looking for a crime
scene and a couple of gallons of bleach.
I get edgy around Xanax withdrawing kids and their moms. I dial, 9, then 1
and then have my finger ready to punch in the next 1. I call it the ¼ life
speed dial.
Okay the pregnant, stork signs after the handicap postings are funny and
courteous. I am a Texas gentleman, will kill for a woman's honor, a
Southern boy who will give up his seat, decent metro-sexual (is that still
a word?) willing to give up my parking space. But dammit…hurry your baby
bump up and pull in or out. Your husband obviously was not proficient on
the later. Ba da baaa.
Strollers. Have you seen these things? Most quarter lifers do not have
such expensive cars. Most soldiers jumping for the 101st Airborne do not
have this much equipment.
Baby I-Pad, baby Nike, baby Dell, baby fueled economy. Sadly, if it were
not for those cute, wee little sneakers and the chicks buying them, all
the Obama TARP measures in the world could not save us from economic
Lastly, what the hell is your kid gonna do? The Quarter Life economy is in
pretty bad shape. Seriously, besides dad's unfulfilled X-Gen or
generational higher goals of A-Rod's money or sleeping with Madonna…dreams
of some long ago, non steroid athlete and musical bombshell…or mom's
wanna-be soccer practice while still balancing a legal career and an Iron
Chef's kitchen…there are no jobs!
Texting is not a job. Sexting is. Gangsta rap is not a job. Killing people
within the confines of the USMC and the Geneva Code as a private first
class is. Nursing…yea for the girls…but man…dude. You want your son to be
a nurse? Okay that was pretty sexiest. I am sorry. Umm…too many
accountants, lawyers a bundle, doctors are afraid of taking patients…your
kid might make a therapist, online consultant (if they immigrate to the
Indian Sub Continent) or A/C repair man. Global warming baby.
Ergo…maybe you want to go the prego route., maybe not…maybe you just don't
know yet. Darwin, your body, and your enlightened corporate health care
plan will have to make that decision. There is no rush and the Quarter
Life ticker is not tocking away. Take your time and make the best call for
you…and the little poop machine.
Hey…do you think since I mentioned the whole cash for kids thing…am I on
some FBI list now? Still, sounds more of a Securities and Exchange
Commission thing don't it?

Deep Silver has revealed new information about the co-operative mode featured in the upcoming Sacred Citadel and the possibility to ride mounts in battle. With role-playing game (RPG) elements, unique weapon combinations, mounts, a map with towns, a multitude of combat options and more aspects still to be revealed, Sacred Citadel is promising to deliver a far greater depth than typically seen in the genre of side-scrolling beat-'em-ups.
While passing through the denseMonolithForest, the three heroes are attacked by a horde of Grimmocs lying in wait. The Safiri Warrior rushes to the front, keeping the opponents at bay with his powerful swings, stringing his attacks together to create powerful combo chains. The Ancarian Ranger warily moves to the back of the combat area and disappears from sight while unleashing one arrow after the other at the confused Grimmocs. Whenever his companions lose too much of their life energy, the Khukuri Shaman comes to the rescue and restores their health.
In the co-operative mode of Sacred Citadel, players must skillfully combine the abilities of their characters to hold out against the onrushing enemy hordes and to support each other. Players can choose between the Khukuri Shaman, the Ancarian Ranger and the Safiri Warrior and a yet-to-be-revealed secret character. Each of the four classes in Sacred Citadel possesses its own set of special attacks. The variation depends both on the experience level and the amount of power collected through the use of different combos.
With a hefty smash of his two-handed warhammer, the Warrior throws the Grimmoc rider out of his saddle on the tusked mount. The Shaman quickly seizes this opportunity and jumps on top of the creature to take the reins and steer it into the middle of the ongoing fray. Rapidly, the Shaman clears the battlefield of all foes using the devastating charging attacks of the bull mount.
In Sacred Citadel, the heroes will be able to snatch away different mounts from their enemies and use them and their varied special attacks for their own purposes. But beware, for as quickly as a player can make use of a mount, it can be taken away from him again. The tusked bull mount, for example, can ram an attacker and whirl him into the air, as well as charge into a group of enemies and trample everything in his way.
Besides mounts, Sacred Citadel also features war machines to ride on, adding even more variety to the multiplayer experience. The videogame will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC in 2013, and Electronic Theatre will keep you updated with all the latest details on this and other titles in the Sacred videogame franchise.

Lymphedema-Distichiasis Syndrome
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Lymphedema-Distichiasis Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
General Discussion
Lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome is a rare genetic multisystem disorder characterized by swelling of the legs because of fluid accumulation and the development of extra eyelashes (distichiasis). Distichiasis may range from a few extra lashes to a full set of extra eyelashes. Swelling most often affects both legs (bilateral) and usually occurs around puberty. Additional anomalies sometimes associated with this disorder include early onset varicose veins, droopy eyelids (ptosis), cardiac (heart) defects, cleft palate, abnormal heart rhythm, and abnormal curvature of the spine (scoliosis). Lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome is caused by mutations of the FOXC2 gene and is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.

Outside the Frame
When Marcia Weber was first exposed to contemporary folk art and outsider art, she didn't realize how integral it would become to her everyday life. "I come from a fine-art background," Weber says, "and I was mesmerized by the fact that people who didn't know how to spell Œart' actually picked up whatever they could find and created some art."
That was more than twenty years ago. Today Weber owns a gallery in Alabama dedicated solely to locating, selling and promoting outsider and contemporary folk art. And for the first time in fifteen years, pieces from Weber's collection will be available for viewing outside of Alabama and New York. Contemporary and Outsider Folk Art comes to Denver's Indigena Gallery with an opening reception on Thursday, November 3.
For those unfamiliar with the genre, folk art and outsider art are both art forms created by men and women who are entirely self-taught; they have no formal training but are compelled to create art for their own pleasure or for healing purposes. Weber describes it as "unpretentious."
Contemporary and Outsider Folk Art
November 3-26, Indigena Gallery, 846 Santa Fe Drive, 720-855-8282; opening reception Thursday, November 3, 6-9 p.m.
"It's not pre-conceived," she says. "Those artists did not create any of those pieces thinking they'd ever be on a gallery wall somewhere in Denver."

Take Woodie Long, for example. Long is one of twelve children, the son of a migrant farmer turned sharecropper. He was a house painter until his doctor told him in 1987 that the profession was too risky for his health. So he started painting vibrant, honest images on paper and wood that eventually wound up on the pages of Smithsonian magazine, on the walls of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and in countless New York art exhibits. Long still lives in the same house in Alabama, and he and his wife grow most of their own food. Then there's Jimmie Lee Sudduth, who's been using mud, berries, grasses, animal fat and axle grease, as well as paint, to create images for 92 of his 95 years. (He also plays a mean harmonica.) And Michael Banks is the "quintessential outsider artist," according to Weber. Banks grew up in the Alabama projects with his single mother, and he creates his artwork -- paintings and wood sculptures -- using found objects.
But don't let the absence of black turtlenecks and snooty post-modernist talk scare you. "These individuals set out not to create art, but instead to fulfill a burning desire to express something that was very important to each of them," says Weber.
And that's art at its finest.

Ashton Kutcher Laughs Off 'Two And A Half Men' Replacement Reports
Ashton Kutcher appears to be shooting down reports suggesting he is in talks to replace Charlie Sheen in sitcom Two And A Half Men.
Internet gossip on Thursday suggested TV bosses have started courting the Just Married star after secret talks between them and Hugh Grant fell through.
Kutcher has had a history of TV comedy success - he was among the ensemble cast of sitcom That '70s Show and he fronted hit practical joke show Punk'd.
But in a tweet to fans, the actor suggested the rumors are just that - rumors.
He writes, "I'm starting to become convinced that people put my name in articles just to improve their SEO (search engine optimization) or hoping I'll tweet it."
Grant has become the latest star to turn down the lead role in the hit sitcom - Rob Lowe and John Stamos, who were both linked to the role, previously insisted they were not interested in stepping in for Sheen.
TV producers have been keen to find his replacement ever since they fired the actor over a public dispute with show creator Chuck Lorre in March.

For Virginia Tech and its fans, this one was certainly not pretty.
Though Virginia Tech was the slight favorite heading into the contest on the road, the Miami Hurricanes led from start to finish en route to a 30-12 victory.
The Hokies had no problem moving the ball, but turnovers were the difference once again in another disappointing loss for Frank Beamer and crew.

Marvin Gaye's Children Respond to Lawsuit Filed by Robin Thicke, Pharrell and T.I.
PRNewswire.com | 10/30/2013, 11 p.m.
On July 9, he told Billboard: "Pharrell and I were in the studio making a couple records, and then on the third day I told him I wanted to do something kinda like Marvin Gaye's 'Got To Give It Up,' that kind of feel 'cause it's one of my favorite songs of all time. So he started messing with some drums and then he started going 'Hey, hey hey..' and about an hour and a half later we had the whole record finished." However, by September, Thicke back-peddled and did a 180, telling TMZ that even though he's a big fan of Marvin Gaye, the Motown legend is not in his head when he writes songs, including "Blurred Lines."
When Gaye's children raised their concerns to EMI/Sony, they were told that no license was granted, nor was any license needed.
The initial lawsuit filed by the Blurred Lines writers not only asks that any copyright infringement claims be rejected, but also challenges the family to prove that they (and not their publisher) have the right to sue. According to the Gaye children, "EMI/Sony publishes and administers our father's catalog so contractually, it would be for them to file the countersuit. However, when we requested that they take action, they refused. They also refused to assign to us the right to file for ourselves."
It is because of this and other factors outlined in the countersuit that the family is reluctantly suing EMI/Sony for breach of contract and failing to perform their fiduciary duties. Coincidentally, EMI/Sony also represents Pharrell Williams.
"We have put a lot of effort into this matter, investigated it thoroughly, and believe we have a strong case," says Richard S. Busch of Nashville and San Diego-based King & Ballow, who is litigation counsel for the Gaye children.
"The counterclaim and court filing speak for themselves, and I look forward to presenting this case to the court and ultimately to a jury who will be able to listen to the songs themselves," Busch said.

Lawyer withdraws in Vt teacher slaying caseThe Associated Press | July 20,2013ST. JOHNSBURY A lawyer for a woman accused along with her husband in the killing of a popular St. Johnsbury teacher has withdrawn from the case because of a conflict of interest.
On Friday, the judge granted defense attorney Marc Eagles request.
Patricia Prue and her husband, Allen Prue, are accused of abducting and killing Melissa Jenkins after luring her from her home in March 2012. Both have pleaded not guilty.
Eagle had sought to be removed from the case because one of his former clients has become a potential witness for the state.
Eagle said Judge Mary Miles Teachout granted his motion to withdraw.
Patricia Prue previously had asked for a new lawyer, but Teachout denied her request.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt. Full StoryVermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell plans to join the U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full Story

Get on a bike and ride—with Hawley BikeShare
July 31, 2012 —
Those who happen to be in Hawley and would like a set of wheels to see the town, can now borrow a bicycle—free of charge—and visit a variety of shops, restaurants and more, thanks to the new Hawley BikeShare program.
Announced recently by the Downtown Hawley Partnership (DHP), Hawley BikeShare is designed to encourage residents and visitors alike to explore all the community has to offer, as well as nearby natural attractions such as the scenic Lackawaxen River, named Pennsylvania's River of the Year in 2010.
Through Hawley BikeShare, people can access bicycles purchased through the generosity of the members of the DHP. The bikes are available in two sizes, in both men's and women's styles.
Bikes will be available at four convenient locations throughout Hawley, including AM Skier Insurance, The Settlers Inn, the Ledges Hotel and Lake Region Fitness at the Hawley Silk Mill. The bikes come complete with a helmet, lock and removable basket for carrying purchases from local shops.
The people-powered project provides a connection to the community, promotes sustainability and allows for a health-promoting way to explore the natural beauty of the area.
To borrow a bike, an interested individual simply provides a copy of his or her driver's license or other photo ID and signs a waiver and rental agreement holding the DHP harmless in the event of injury and accepting responsibility for the cost of any damages. Bicycles must be returned by dusk the same day. Rentals are initially limited to those over 18 years of age, but the program may be expanded in the future to those over 16 years of age.
Hawley BikeShare is modeled after programs around the world, and locally after a successful program in Wilkes-Barre.
Ongoing maintenance of the bikes is provided by Around Town Bicycles and by the generous support of the 12 sponsors highlighted on the bikes' baskets.
According to long-time cycling advocate Jeanne Genzlinger of The Settlers Inn, who promotes bicycling through a series of customized tours she developed for patrons of the inn, the program came about as a suggestion from Tom Jones at Around Town Bicycles, who felt Hawley would provide a perfect fit for the program.
"I jumped on the idea, as I am familiar with other communities that have bike share programs," said Genzlinger. "I think it is a wonderful progressive idea for our area and a nice way for people to view the downtown—faster than a walk and slower than a car—coupled with great exercise."

Whom I voted for, and why
I early-voted last week. Here are my votes for the most important electoral choices on the Republican ballot (reasons follow):
School board Post 1 — Barry Marchman
School board Post 2 — Mary Kay Bacallao
U.S. Congress 3rd District — Kent Kingsley
NO to T-SPLOST
Why most important? The school system has been run into a fiscal ditch by a willful majority on the Board of Education and the system's superintendent. (See a letter to the editor from the two on the board who have tried to mitigate the train wreck.)
The school system receives 64 percent of all local taxes collected in Fayette County — $86 million out of $133.86 million paid by all Fayette taxpayers. It is the largest spender in all of local government. And board members Janet Smola and Terri Smith and their third vote (currently the appointee Leonard Presberg) have spent like drunken Democrats.
And I think our current representative, Lynn Westmoreland, is just marking time — while keeping his finger planted on the "NO" vote button — until his buddy, Gov. Nathan Deal, appoints him to an open U.S. Senate seat created by the "unexpected" resignation of one of our two distinguished senators.
Hollowell the 'stealth' man
If you like how Smola and Smith have run the school board, you should vote for Scott Hollowell, the "stealth" candidate. You'll get more of the same if Hollowell is elected.
Hollowell defers all public questions that attempt to nail down his actual positions by telling the questioner to call him and have a private conversation.
The private conversation never gets reported, allowing Hollowell to deceive the electorate like Barack Obama did in 2008. Like Obama, Hollowell is a blank slate upon which any voter may project his/her aspirations, but without actually revealing what his real position is, he remains a hollow candidate.
Hollowell seems to have led folks in Brooks and Tyrone (his district) to hope that his heart lies with their dreams of keeping their old, expensive schools open as "centers of their community" while never actually saying that he will vote that way. He also seems to be positioning himself to be the teachers' union rep on the board.
Hollowell may be a really nice guy personally, but he is a truly slippery candidate, and his intent is to parry all attempts to pin him down to discover what his real agenda is. He's easily the most chameleon-like candidate since Jack Smith. He's got an agenda, but he ain't telling the rest of us. Like Nancy Pelosi's ObamaCare bill, you'll have to elect him first to find out what he really stands for.
I don't trust him, and I think neither should you.
Is Griffin a Smith stalking horse?
For Post 2, who is Gary Griffin anyway? He lives in Brooks, near Post 2 incumbent Terri Smith. You remember Terri Smith — the supposed Republican who switched to a Democrat banner during qualifying week.
Griffin was asked, essentially, Are you a stalking horse to muddy the GOP race to enable Smith to have a free run in November, no matter how many votes she might get? Griffin denied that he would drop out afterwards if he won the Republican nomination, but it makes you wonder, why would that thought even enter anybody's head? Smoke and fire kind of thing.
Mary Kay Bacallao has run for the school board before, and she presents herself as a fiscal conservative and takes definitive stands on controversial issues. She's against the NAACP-led district voting change and in favor of every taxpayer in every part of the county having a vote on every member of the Board of Education. She's also against the T-SPLOST boondoggle.
To be sure you get what you are voting for, I suggest voting for Mary Kay Bacallao.
Lynn eyes U.S. Senate
The odd thing is that I support a lot of Rep. Lynn Westmoreland's positions. But after years of being on the public payroll, Lynn hasn't proved that he can move beyond being a reliable "NO" vote to oppose the Democrats and a reliable "YES" vote on congressional pork projects.
I can't think of a single bill of any substance that Westmoreland has authored, a single original thought that has issued from his tenure in Washington.
And I know this about Lynn: He glad-hands the politicians and power brokers in his district, but he's not much on taking any time to respond to constituency inquiries. The only time most of us will ever hear Lynn speak is on a robo-call asking for our vote. He started out as one of us, but Lynn has left us common folk far behind.
And there is that Big Fix that may be played out in coming months. One of our two Georgia senators likely will decide to "spend more time with the family" and Gov. Deal will name Lynn to be our new U.S. senator. When the senatorial election rolls around, Lynn will be the "incumbent."
If you don't want Westmoreland as your equally out of touch next senator, I suggest you vote for retired military man Kent Kingsley for 3rd District congressman. Kingsley is a man of bedrock conservative principles and he will make himself known around the U.S. Capitol as something more than a comedy show caricature.
It's time for Lynn to honor the conservative principle of term limits and get out of the way.
T-SPLOST follies
The T-SPLOST debate has been instructive. There IS a contingent of what were billed as "conservative Republicans" who really bleed Democrat when pricked about regional sales taxes.
And support for a regional sales tax has become a kind of religious test: Throw billions of new money at the burning altar of political correctness and magically dozens of out of state companies will flock here to warm themselves at our civic bonfire of vanity.
Never mind that craven state lawmakers ducked the hard vote and instead created a new layer of government and endorsed the novel concept of regional taxation without elected representation.
New depths of deception have been uncovered. Locally, the Chamber of Commerce to which I pay yearly dues came out in favor of placing a new tax on all of us. (Come to think of it, when has the local Chamber ever met a sales tax it did not like?)
They never asked me. In fact, they never asked most of the Chamber members. They could have easily polled via email every member with the straightforward question: "Should your Chamber of Commerce support the regional sales tax and recommend a 'YES' vote?"
The problem is — Chamber wheels knew they would not get the answer they wanted. Such a poll likely would have been overwhelmingly against the T-SPLOST.
Instead they ran an innocuous online poll that asked general questions about "concerns" about "transportation." Then they took those "concerned" votes and morphed them into support for T-SPLOST.
I say my Chamber misrepresented me and most of their small business members with this deception.
County commission
If you vote for Jack Smith, you deserve the arrogance you will receive in return for your vote. Unless you are one of his chosen buddies, forget about him even acknowledging your presence, much less your worth. And thanks, Jack, for your T-SPLOST support.
If you vote for Lee Hearn, you will get more — much more — like the $90,000 paving of Snead Road, a dead-end dirt road less than a half-mile long with two driveways on it.
If you vote for Robert Horgan, you'll be forgiving his driving while toking pot arrest and conviction and you'll be forgetting his lockstep voting record with Smith, Eric Maxwell and Hearn that gave us the great West Fayetteville Bypass.
Give somebody else a chance
I'll always remember a great college women's basketball coach during a close game with a winning season on the line. Frustrated at the disappointing below-par performance of his starters, he turned to the eager bench and pointed out five.
"Get in there and see what you can do," the coach growled. The five benchwarmers sprinted in, played inspired ball, built a lead and preserved a winning season to that point.
"Get in there and see what you can do."
That was my attitude last Wednesday when I walked up to the machine and cast my early voting ballot.
And that's what I recommend you do as well with the current crop of candidates for the Fayette County Board of Education, the Fayette County Commission and the U.S. Congress Third District races: Bench the starters (and their clones) and unleash the eager replacements.
Let's see what they can do. It can't be any worse than the starters have done so far.

The following is a summary of deficiencies cited in the report:
• Infection control
A tour of the operating room revealed waste from a recent surgery had been placed in the regular trash rather than the bin for infectious waste.
Infectious waste in New Mexico — which can include organs, blood, used needles or any substance that has a risk of transmitting disease to humans — must be rendered non-infectious before disposal, in accordance with the law. That can be done in a number of ways, including incineration or heat sterilization, according to the New Mexico Environment Department Web site. A company based in Roswell disposes of infectious waste for the hospital. However, regular trash is sent to the Clovis landfill.
In response to the findings, infectious waste is now placed in clear bags, according to PRMC officials.
• Restraint for acute medical and surgical care
To administer sedatives lawfully, a person must complete a training program. Registered nurses who did not complete the training program issued sedatives to patients, the report showed.
Also, the hospital failed to properly document instances where restraints were used on patients and failed to show why the restraints were needed, the report said.
Since the inspection, all nurses have been trained to issue sedatives and staff has been instructed to provide detailed documentation of events that led to the use of restraints, according to PRMC spokesperson Tayloria Grant.
• Medical staff accountability
In one randomly selected patient's records, inspectors found a surgeon could not be found following a surgery. The surgeon had not written transfer orders for the patient. The patient waited about two hours to be transferred. No actions against the surgeon in response to this incident were taken, the report said.
• Discharge planning
"The hospital failed to implement a discharge planning process for all patients," the report said.
• Criteria for discharge evaluations
"The hospital did not have a process in place to assess all patients who were likely to suffer adverse health consequences," the report said. One hospital social worker told inspectors "due to time constraints and the number of patients, there was no way everyone could be seen," the report said.
• Governing body
"All hospitals must have an effective governing body legally responsible for the conduct of the hospital as an institution.
"The governing body of PRMC failed to assure that all departments in the hospital operated in compliance with the conditions of participation, including contracted services," the report said.
The governing body at PRMC is its board of trustees and ultimately the Presbyterian Healthcare Services Board of Trustees.
• Contracted services
"The governing body must be responsible for services furnished in the hospital whether or not they are furnished under contracts.
"The hospital failed to assure that contracted services were reviewed to assure compliance with quality standards.
"The chief executive officer (Brian Bentley) stated that he was not aware the governing body was ever responsible for assessing the quality of contract services," the report said.
A range of services at PRMC are contracted, including anesthesia and radiology, Presbyterian Healthcare Services Presbyterian spokesperson Todd Sandman said.
• Quality Assurance Performance Improvement process (QAPI)
"The hospital failed to assure that the quality assurance performance improvement program included data collection and assessment from all the hospital departments and services; failed to assure the performance improvement initiatives focused on indicators to improve health outcomes and reduce medical errors; and failed to take action when made aware of substandard performance."
PRMC had no statistical data or performance improvement projects in anesthesia, pharmacy and infection control, the report said. Instead, PRMC medical staff and infection control reviewed anesthesia, interviews with staff indicated. A pharmacy and therapeutics committee reviewed pharmacy activities.
Adverse patient outcomes were not reported to the QAPI, and instead, were dealt with by the PRMC risk management office.
• QAPI program scope
When notes from the QAPI committee at PRMC were reviewed, there was no record of discussion of adverse patient outcome, "nor any reporting or trending regarding adverse patient outcomes," the report said.
• QAPI health outcomes
Statistical data and improvement projects from anesthesia, pharmacy and infection control were absent.
• QAPI medical errors
The QAPI group did not sufficiently collect data to identify and mitigate medical errors, the report said.
• Leadership responsibilities
Only medical staff, and not the QAPI committee, received data collection and surveillance information.
• Executive responsibilities
Those in charge for performance improvement at the hospital confirmed that they did not follow QAPI standard operations, the report said.

This is known as the problem of derangement.
I don't like the notation there, but it gives you the ideas.
I like the formula: .
Well, hi.
I've got a problem, I've been trying to solve it but every formula I try to make fails...
Perhaps this is foolish and I'm not applying correctly the Permutations, Combinations and Factorials...but I don't get to the answer.
The problem is:
Let's Suppose that I'm a teacher, I take some notebooks from nine students, and I give them back. ¿How many ways are there to give back the notebooks in a way that no one receives his own notebook?
What I do, naturally, is to reduce the problem, and try making a formula.
I look what happens with four notebooks...I started looking how many ways there are...and I find there are 9 ways. With 3 notebooks there are only 2 ways. And with 2 there is only 1. No easy-looking pattern, so I can't make a formula that easy...
Then I tried using a formula that I already know...the total quantity of ways to give back the notebooks is n!. Then the formula must be .
When I try to use all of that I get a weird +...-... thing like n!-n!+(n-1)!-...
But it's not exactly the formula...and I'm not sure if it really can be done like that...
This is known as the problem of derangement.

Giuseppe Tentori Announces His Final Menu at Boka
For his final trick, Giuseppe Tentori released a menu full of his favorite dishes from the past seven years as executive chef at Boka. The menu - which offers a selection of seven cold starters, six hot starters, seven mains and four sides - will run until the end of the year, at which time Boka will close for renovations and reopen a month later with chef Lee Wolen.
"One of my favorite dishes is the seared fois gras, which is an adaptation of a recipe from my aunt in Italy," Tentori said. "I got the idea for the farro three ways from a vegetable dish that was on Charlie Trotter's menu." This dish appears on the hot section of the menu, which also includes confit Amish chicken thigh and Spanish octopus.
In the main course section, Tentori favors his braised short rib with sage gnocchi, burgundy truffles, Tuscan kale and kabocha squash. "The braised short rib has always been a best-seller at Boka, and another one of my all time favorites is the stuffed baby squid," Tentori said. "I have learned so much from my time at Boka and it has challenged me in so many ways. I am excited for what the future has in store for me, and the next six weeks at Boka are going to be a lot of fun!"
After passing the reigns onto Wolen, Tentori will remain as a chef and partner with Boka restaurant group to oversee the kitchen on one of their upcoming projects.

Two years ago, Jacki Weaver of Australia came out of nowhere to earn a supporting-actress Oscar nomination for her performance in Animal Kingdom.
No one in Hollywood knew her, and she knew little about Hollywood.
Today, Weaver is no Hollywood novice. Her performance as the mother of a troubled young man in Silver Linings Playbook had spurred a fresh round of Oscar buzz, but she was canny enough to decide not to get up to watch the nominations announcement. She was in for a busy day of filming on another American movie: Parkland, a drama built around the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
"I was sitting in my bed in a hotel in Texas," the 65-year-old actress says."There I was in my jammies, and . . . I turned on the TV! I wasn't going to watch, but then I figured I would see how my pals would fare in the nominations."
She wasn't expecting to hear her name as a nominee for best supporting actress.
"I was gob-smacked," she says. "Suddenly, there was my picture on the TV screen. I uttered a long expletive and then ran around like a lunatic punching the air."
It's heady company for Weaver, who in Silver Linings Playbook shared the screen with Robert De Niro as the parents of a young man (Bradley Cooper) freshly out of a mental institution after an emotional breakdown. Now, she and De Niro have matching Oscar nominations.
"I'm lucky," she admits — "extremely lucky."
Weaver is also a bit nervous, with the Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday fast approaching. Her previous Oscar experience was exhausting, she says.
"What I didn't know is that it takes about an hour to walk down that Oscar red carpet," Weaver says. "My husband was with me, and he estimated that I spoke with 60 different reporters. It's like a military operation. I was just so overwhelmed, a little apprehensive and a tad bit frightened.
"This time, I just want to enjoy it."
She also wants to get back to work.Weaver has a busy spring schedule: She has a key role in the horror movie Stoker, starring Mia Wasikowska and Nicole Kidman, and set to open on March 1 in limited release.
Weaver was born in Sydney to an Australian father and a mother who was originally from England. At 15, she played Cinderella in a lavish production.
"From the start, I loved acting so much and hated it at the same time," she confesses. "Even from a young age, I'd get impatient if the work wasn't up to scratch. But I still loved pretending to be other people. I find other people more interesting than myself."
She worked steadily but unspectacularly in television, theater and film until Animal Kingdom came out of nowhere. Her performance as the ruthless matriarch of a Melbourne crime family earned her top awards in Australia as well as an Oscar nomination.
Although she didn't take home the award, her American career was launched with a bang, both onstage — with her American stage debut in 2011 in the Sydney Theatre Company production of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya — and in films such as The Five-Year Engagement (2012).
She is particularly proud of Silver Linings Playbook.
"It's such a beautiful film," she said, "with a universal message."

Bruce Springsteen Is Definitely Team Nick
Apparently Bruce Springsteen's kids are huge fans of Nick Lachey. Page Six has the scoop.
When Springsteen saw Jessica Simpson's ex at the Jingle Ball, a spy giggled, "[Springsteen] ran across the crowd to gush over Nick and hugged him – so he could go home and tell his daughter, Jessica Rae, he 'got action from Nick.'
If my father came home and told me he "got action" from anyone it would creep my shit out. Oh, wait no, I guess it's OK if it's Nick Lachey because he's on his "if I'm ever drunk at a party and I have the opportunity celebrity list."

DAILIES: 'The King's Speech' Director Passed On 'Iron Man 3,' 'Bodyguard' Remake On The Way
What does "The King's Speech" have in common with the "Iron Man" franchise? More than you'd think, as it turns out!
Even though Shane Black is closing in on the director's chair for "Iron Man 3," a new report suggests that the job was almost Tom Hooper's. The award-winning director of "The King's Speech" reportedly turned down an offer to helm the superhero threequel, and is said to be considering an adaptation of "Les Miserables" as a future project instead.
Hooper's brush with "Iron Man" is certainly curious, to say the least, and there are other equally compelling news stories out there in the ether today. After the jump, we have new details on "Prometheus," "Wrath of the Titans" and more!
Opening "Prometheus"
Slowly but surely, details are surfacing regarding the plot of Ridley Scott's secretive "Prometheus." We already told you that the film has a connection to the "Alien" series despite earlier reports, and now, Bleeding Cool is taking things a step further: according to an unnamed source, "Prometheus" heavily features the aliens we've come to know and fear, though they'll appear in a different form than we're used to.
"Wrath" Of The 3-D Conversion
"Clash of the Titans" suffered no small amount of backlash for its poorly-received 3-D post-conversion, and now its developing sequel is facing a similar position. Director Jonathan Liebesman tells Collider that "Wrath of the Titans" won't shoot in 3-D, but he'll have stereographic advisors on set with the intention of creating a smoother 3-D conversion process. We're hoping that it works out well, but we're… skeptical, to put it mildly.
"Bodyguard" For Hire
It was bound to happen eventually: a remake of "The Bodyguard" is on the way. Deadline reports that an updated take on the Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston classic is currently at the script stage, with writers Jeremiah Friedman and Nick Palmer officially on board. No casting announcements yet, so start those Lady Gaga write-in campaigns now!
"Hansel & Gretel" Meet Their Match
Famke Janssen has already joined Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton in the cast of "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters," and now another villain has joined the fray: Peter Stormare, the brilliant character actor from films like "Fargo" and "Constantine," has signed onto the film as crooked lawman Berringer, according to Deadline. Yes, this is awesome news, in case you weren't sure.
Still waiting for that "24" movie? Gonna have to wait a little bit longer. Kiefer Sutherland is already tied up with the starring role on the developing Fox series "Touch," and now, in an interview with TV Squad, producer Howard Gordon says: "The '24' movie is on hold for now, although conversations are ongoing. Beyond that, there is no news." I wouldn't sweat it too badly — even if the movie is "on hold," we all know that nothing keeps Jack Bauer down for long.

My Neighbor a.k.a. The Playmobil Killer
I've finally decided to out my downstairs neighbor.
I've been living in this apartment for over a year, it's a nice building right in the center of the city, but there's something that bugs me.
Seville is not famous for its serial killers, but coming from the country with more serial killers in the world, I know my stuff.
The minute I walked in the building, the first thing the landlord said was "The guy on the second floor never uses the elevator." I knew something was off.
About a month after I moved in, I bumped into him as he was getting back from buying big trash bags (swear to Zeus it's true). He sorta smiled, I nodded and moved on.
Being the good Christian neighbor that I am, I started to peek into his private life to see what was going on downstairs and why he would have no furniture in his living room.
Turns out he's a Playmobil collector, which we all know translates to "get the fuck out of that building because he's gonna kill you and dry your body in salt and then shape you like a Playmobil with the skin left over from other victims after he has dismembered them and dissolved their bones in acid". But I'm resilient and refuse to leave. I'll be here waiting for the news reporters to interview me when the police find the first 30 bodies, dressed like Playmobils in his apartment.
"He would say good morning, he looked friendly, but I always knew there was something strange about him. Bless his heart," I will say when interviewed.
You may be thinking that I'm crazy, but I bet that if you saw him you'd think "Yep….you have a person locked in your basement."
I already told my mom I loved her and made amends with those I've wronged just in case next time they see me I'm under a white blanket dressed as a cowboy or an native American or a police officer, or whatever character of the Playmobil Village People collection he picks for me.
I gotta add a video, I'm sorry!
I only hope he leaves Doggy out of it.
I have to tell you someday about the time I almost dated a future serial killer.

December 4, 2005
I got some unbeleivable shades of purple while dyeing yarn with kool-aid this weekend. You would never even guess they are from something that is meant to be a beverage.
Are they not crazy lovely? I am not even a purple person, yet am nonetheless enamored with the colors and variations in these skeins (especially the darker purple). They are for a Christmas gift, but I am tempted to keep them. Its recycled wool from a sweater (the creamy yellow one in this post), and there's about a sock's worth in each skein.
Kool-aid recipes: (keep in mind I started with cream-colored, not white, wool)
Light Purple: 4 packets Flavoraid grape, plus a shake of Berry Blue.
Dark Purple: Something like 14 packets of Flavoraid grape, plus one packet of blue. I kept the water near boiling, and the yarn absorbed all the dye this time.

Businesses in each trade are facing tough competition. Reduction in prices is no more a fool proof method to get business boost. Business promotions models are now customer and existing users centered. There is acute need to remind the presence of company, brand and new arrivals to all the probable buyers. There is no shortage of sources to get the data of existing users and probable buyers. Using business gifts to remind the presence to trade associates as well as to the individuals is the proven way to get business boost.
When we start the selection process for business gifts, we come across many options but this process is quite different from buying the anytime personal gift. Here, we need a gift that is useful and can be used immediately instead of being placed in storewell. The gift must be related to the business activities and must be capable to convince the recipients about the quality being offered. If you are in bakery business and deal in different types of cakes, coffee cake emerges as the good option as business promotional gift. If you are in kitchenware business then coffee mugs and travelling ceramic mugs emerge as perfect options.
Business promotional gifts can be dispatched to previous, current and probable buyers by courier or can be given hand to hand directly to the bulk buyers at the time of sales. The presentation, packing, quality and message must be of standard. If you are in the business of food products, use a coffee cake hamper gift. This can be customized according to the budget. The type and quantity of cake, number of mugs and number of chocolates etc can be fixed according to the budget. When the recipient likes the taste of cake, he gets impressed with the quality of other food items also being sold by you. Similarly, when he uses traveler mug on tours and is asked about the source to get that mug by others, he refers your name.
There are many companies that offer customization services for making business gifts more impressive and easy to deliver. These companies offer special packaging, delivery service and placing promotional information leaflets etc. As you by the products from these companies in bulk so you get many additional discounts that make your business gifts more cost efficient. The only thing that you need to consider is the reputation and expertise of the company. It must be recognized by trade and must be capable to offer similar services for longer period.
