Taylor Chace named IPC Athlete of the Month for December 2012
After scoring the winning goal in the gold-medal game of the 2012 World Sledge Hockey Challenge, American Taylor Chace was voted by the public as the International Paralympic Committee Athlete of the Month for December.
The 26-year-old defenseman, who recorded the lone goal in Team USA's 1-0 win over Canada in the championship game of the tournament on Dec. 8 in Calgary, received 53-percent of the public's vote.
With the game scoreless late into the second period, Chace's shot along the ice from the point snuck past Canadian netminder Benoit St-Amand to give the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team their second title in the event.
"One goal, that's what made the difference," Chace told USA Hockey following the championship game of the tournament. "I just waited for that gap and I converted and just went in.
"We were only up by a goal, and that could have changed at any second. Any mistake that we made could have been capitalized on. We came out on top in this game, but it's always a battle. Our goal was to make it into this final game - that's always our goal at this tournament - and we just wanted to give ourselves a chance to win it."
The only other time Team USA won gold at the World Sledge Hockey Challenge came in 2009 in Charlottetown, when Chace scored the overtime winner in a 3-2 gold-medal game victory over the Canadians.
Chace was followed in the Athlete of the Month voting by American sit-skier Tyler Walker, who finished with 26 percent of the vote. Russian alpine skier Alexey Bugaev, German alpine skier Anna Schaffelhuber and Hungarian wheelchair fencer Zsuzsanna Krajnyak were also up for the honour.
Identified as one of the IPC's Ones to Watch athletes for the 2012-13 winter season, Chace will now look to build upon the victory in Calgary to help USA go for their third straight title at the IPC Ice Sledge Hockey A Pool World Championships from April 12-20, in Goyang, Korea.
But before that, Chace will compete in the USA Sled Hockey Cup from Jan. 23-26 in Charlotte, N.C.

Microsoft Corp. plans to price its Natal motion sensor for Xbox 360 game console at $149 and also sell it bundled with Xbox 360 Arcade version, according to a media report. In spite of relatively high price, the software giant reportedly intends to sell millions of Natal units in the first year.
Just a little more than half a year ago it was reported that Natal will cost around $79, however, on Wednesday Edge-Online web-site reported that the unit will cost $149, which is nearly two times higher. In addition, the motion sensor will also be available bundled with Xbox 360 Arcade at the price of $299.
"Microsoft expects to sell millions and millions of Natal units in its first year on the market so you can expect the software launch line-up to target non-traditional gamers. A major marketing campaign will also play a key role in attracting and educating the expanded audience about Xbox 360's controller-free revolution," a media source is reported to have said.
The possible launch date of the Natal – which official name is set to be released at the E3 – is October 26, as earlier reported citing a Microsoft executive.
Microsoft did not comment on the news-story.

Skip to comments.Primary School Teachers 'Could Face Sack' For Refusing To Promote Gay Marriage [Faith Schools Too!]
Posted on 11/18/2012 10:27:16 AM PST by Steelfish
Primary School Teachers 'Could Face Sack' For Refusing To Promote Gay Marriage
By John Bingham 18 Nov 2012 Liz Truss, an education minister, refused to rule out the possibility that teachers, even in faith schools, could face disciplinary action for objecting on grounds of conscience.
Miss Truss said simply that it was impossible to know what the impact of the legislation would be at this stage.
Her admission came in a letter to a fellow Conservative MP, David Burrowes, last month.
Mr Burrowes, a practising Christian, originally wrote to Maria Miller, the equalities minister, raising concerns about the impact on schools of the Coalitions plans to change the marriage laws.
It followed the publication of a legal opinion by Aidan ONeill QC, a barrister in the same London chambers as Cherie Blair, commissioned by the Coalition for Marriage, which campaigns against same-sex unions.
Mr ONeill, an expert on human rights, was asked to advise on the impact redefining marriage to include same-sex couples could have on schools, churches, hospitals, foster carers and public buildings. Among his conclusions was that schools could be within their statutory rights to dismiss staff who wilfully fail to use stories or textbooks promoting same-sex weddings.
Parents who object to gay marriage being taught to their children would also have no right to withdraw their child from lessons, he argued. And, in theory, the fact that a school was a faith school would make no difference, he added.

As noted, Ms Camille is one of the most open-minded and even fair-minded scholar of the arts, who is also lesbian. But rules is rules around here.
OK, the weekend is getting short back there — enjoy what's left. My apologies to any FReeper who might have had a young or impressionable FReepie reading.
I did find her posting history, and only one comment supporting homo-agenda, but very positive support. Not FR material.
Ground Broken For Housing Project Intended For Members Of LGBT Community
Ground has been broken in the heart of Philadelphias Gayborhood for a housing project that will serve the needs of the LGBT community.
Its described as the first urban project of its kind six floors of low income housing for elderly lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders.
Its being built with a mixture of local, state and federal funds. And that was reflected by the number of politicians on hand for Fridays ceremony.
So, tax money going to build special housing for homosexuals. And paglia444's comment about this, pretending to be conservatives (sort of) in other comments, yet finds no problem with using public monies to build housing for homoesxuals only.
Good for them. Nice to see Philly be inclusive.

That's why keeping such activities and so on in the closet is really the way to go.
What did you say? Freepmail me if you don't mind, I'm curious about it since I've seen really $(*@(*( language around FR lately and it seems to be more tolerated.
At least I got the poster deleted. Probably wouldn't have happened otherwise, at least not in this thread. Mission accomplished.
I'm just going to drop it; mission accomplished when the (retread) poster got the ZOT.
Always enjoy your comments and, in many cases, I learn from them.
Thanks for the reply; so it was a retread, then?
Methinks the meaning escapes my chase of understanding.
Oh. Kay!
BTW, gays already own huge swaths of real estate in that area, and could easily form apartments for their own elderly without expecting the taxpayers to make a special set-aside. But that's not the point, is it? The point is this:
These heterosexuals have long since adopted the underlying value system of gay marriage: adult gratification via sterile sex.
This is what millions, tens of millions of straight couples achieve via hormones, spaying, and the suction curette.
That's why the LGBT agenda is supported by straight voting constituencies. Straights have been practicing gay marriage for over 40 years.
That reminds me (by way of analogy) of a cartoon I saw decades ago in Punch, the British humor magazine. Two conservatively-dressed Anglican clerics are looking on as myriads of devotees, half-naked and glowing with drug-induced enthusiasm , are prostrating themselves before a huge horned idol, offering It huge braziers of smoking incense, gyrating about in a frenzy, copulating with cult priestesses, and otherwise exhibiting various orgiastic excesses.
The one cleric says to the other, "One more thing, and I'm leaving the Church of England. I swear, just one more thing..."
I'll give you credit for one thing: saying that one should take a principled stand against morality is certainly good for a laugh. Woo hoo! And I'll take a moral stand against principles!
It's like the old joke, "Morality aside, Senator Kennedy, what are your views on ethics?"
"Ive seen really $(*@(*( language around FR lately and it seems to be more tolerated."
I noticed right after the election that the number of swear words increased! (In my house as well!)
It's possible to acknowledge the existence of such things --- adultery, sexual kidnapping, servile pederasty --- but only with students mature enough to analyze tragedy and recognize disorder as such, without implying that it is decent and honorable behavior.
It can be observed, acknowledged as a factor in human suffering, and allowed to inspire its natural reactions: horror and pity. Most of of us think it ought not to be presented without comment as if it were acceptable: we don't want it taught to our children as a "perverse normal".
Grazie mille.
I agree, but there are some who prefer to forget the abuse ever happened, or that it played any role in their later behavior.
Actually the figure 80% has been found among homosexuals in studies, from reading articles a few years ago. Of course, homosexuals who "like" being one, often think fondly of the older homosexual who "initiated" them into the gay life.
The abuse often involves grooming, gaining the trust of the child/adolescent, use of drugs and/or alcohol, and "gay" porn.
It's sick, sick stuff.
Yes indeed.
Why are hets putting up with it? Because they keep getting these cockamamie promises from homs that they won't do something... until they do do it. Charlie Brown, Lucy, football.
Do they raise kids to recruit? Dunno. I think they're too egotistical about their own selves really to care. They might grow up het by accident.
What is the underlying premise here? That the purpose of marriage is for the satisfaction of the emotional and sexual needs of two adults who are committed to each other. And of course the presumption that their sexual connection will be invariably sterile. (For straights, make that "almost" invariably sterile.)
It's egotism for two. In that respect, "spayed" marriages are indistinguishable from gay marriages.
That's why contracepted straights have no problems with the LGBT agenda. They've been living it most of their lives.
I agree. Where did the 70% statistic come from? My homosexual brother was 100% molested by a priest, may God forgive the priest and rest my brother's soul.
A couple of lesbians made a pass at me when I was 19. Ewwwww!
Well, I was more polite than that when I turned them down, but they must have been dang tired of each other if they were willing to cheat in each others faces.
Dun is a brownish color, dun breasts would probably mean that she is tanned, or it is a black woman.
Dun has a LOT of meanings on Dictionary.com.
Cheat, what's that?
The more the merrier, is my guess as to what was going on in their beady little brains.
Also, Shakespeare might pen verses intended for an actor portraying a woman to speak, as well as those intended to be spoken to a man by way of advice. Just because they address a man does not necessarily imply hanky panky.
Also, Shakespeare might pen verses intended for an actor portraying a woman to speak, as well as those intended to be spoken by a man to another man by way of advice. (Hey buddy, here's how to win the chick.) Just because they address a man does not necessarily imply hanky panky.
Yeah, I wouldn't know. All I know is that their moves on me held absolutely no attraction, and they left me cold, grossed out, and disgusted at their lack of exclusivity to each other.
I was getting ready to marry Hubby 1.0 at the time.
So that whole situation was one excellent decision about them, and one mistake.
However, my current Hubby and I have been happy together for 33 years now.
You're just as well that you couldn't get into their heads. If you had, it would feel like you had visited a sewer, naked.
that's a cool hot horse
No gay people are walking into my room.
Well, bye then.
Figured this one was for the grill.
Very true, and almost completely this goes under the radar.
Be my guest. I share.
They use terror tactics. If a person or a business speaks out against them they rally and apply pressure on that person/business.
They also do not use homos in their ads on TV, they use normal actors or atheletes so as to appear non threatening.
We have to fight back by letting everyone know that they are after the children. Use these articles to email everyone you know.
IMost people are unaware that this is happening. The first they will hear is from their kids when it is already to late and laws are already in place.
Pretty blatant on this thread. He or she came "out of the closet" apparently, after lying low for a couple of months.
Rumor has it that you're the only person to have surrendered offering no resistance whatsoever in the "How many Justin Biebers could you take in a fight?" test.
In fact as the story goes, you are said to have rum and hid at the very mention of a single, slightly irritated Bieber approaching and that you were rejected as an applicant for the role of "Surrogate Bieber" in his Fighting Bieber Swarm.
The only regrettable thing about your zotting is that now we can only torment you in absentia, rather than watch as you wither and cry your little girly tears.
Okay, Gunner, Sir!
Oh Lordy! I used to like Aquaman!
Well, I can beat 30 Biebers!
I bet Gunner can beat 50.
Not YOU, dammit!
I got a 34.
It appears the upper limit on the Bieber Swarm is around 35 - 40. But we could give Gunner credit for five or six Biebers fleeing the scene before actual contact.
LOL! OH! Okay. It was pretty easy though... Not being gay...
Awww... Justy wants a kiss. Poor little guy.
Don't hit him too hard.

The world's best hotels.Get the list.
From the U.S. State Department:
Millions of U.S. citizens safely visit Mexico each year for study, tourism, and business, including more than 150,000 who cross the border every day. The Mexican government makes a considerable effort to protect U.S. citizens and other visitors to major tourist destinations, and there is no evidence that Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) have targeted U.S. visitors and residents based on their nationality. Resort areas and tourist destinations in Mexico generally do not see the levels of drug-related violence and crime reported in the border region and in areas along major trafficking routes.
Nevertheless, U.S. travelers should be aware that the Mexican government has been engaged in an extensive effort to counter TCOs which engage in narcotics trafficking and other unlawful activities throughout Mexico. The TCOs themselves are engaged in a violent struggle to control drug trafficking routes and other criminal activity. As a result, crime and violence are serious problems throughout the country and can occur anywhere. U.S. citizens have fallen victim to TCO activity, including homicide, gun battles, kidnapping, carjacking and highway robbery.
Nayarit: You should defer non-essential travel to all areas of the state of Nayarit north of the city of Tepic as well as to the cities of Tepic and Xalisco. The security situation north of Tepic and in these cities is unstable and travelers could encounter roadblocks or shootouts between rival criminals. There is no recommendation against travel either to Riviera Nayarit in the southern portion of the state or to principal highways in the southern portion of the state used to travel from Guadalajara to Puerto Vallarta.

Negaunee's MHSAA state semifinal opponent Laingsburg relies on strength of guards
NEGAUNEE – Negaunee's semifinal opponent on Thursday, Laingsburg, is a perimeter-oriented, experienced team starting four seniors and what are essentially a quartet of guards along with a 6-foot-4 center.
That's according to the Lansing State Journal at its website, lsj.com, as Laingsburg is a community about 15 miles northeast of Lansing, located about halfway between the state capital and Owosso.
The Wolfpack (23-2) is giving up just 34.9 points per game and features a pressure defense with eight seniors overall on the team.
They include Jake Zielinski, averaging 14.5 points per game through the district tournament and who scored 31 points in a victory over Grandville Calvin Christian and 25 vs. Muskegon Heights Academy in the regionals last week.
Teammate Shawn McKinney, at an 11.0 ppg clip through districts, had 21 vs. Grandville. The team's senior center is Sam Edwards, who is its only real inside presence.
"I don't think there is anything that they haven't seen," 24th year-coach Greg Mitchell of Laingsburg told the Lansing newspaper.
The co-champions with Pewamo-Westphalia of the Central Michigan Athletic Conference, the Wolfpack won its quarterfinal game over Beaverton, 42-32, on Tuesday.
Previous to that, Laingsburg edged Muskegon Heights 61-59 for the regional championship, getting there by downing Calvin Christian 61-52 in the regional semifinals.
And prior to that, the Wolfpack captured its district with a 53-38 win over Carson City-Crystal after opening tourney play with a victory over Pewamo-Westphalia.
Laingsburg was an honorable mention pick, effectively in 17th place with seven votes in the final Associated Press Class C state basketball poll released on March 5, two spots behind Pewamo-Westphalia.

Lovely product!
Posted by 5514081950035846903 on Oct 12, 2013
I have a sweet tooth and never ever would have imagined sugar from coconuts tasting this good. This is my third time back for this decadent devil and all I can say is that if there was conventional sugar and Organic coconut sugar crystals on the table which would I make a bee-line for? I'd without a doubt go for the coconut sugar. Far better tasting and healthier. With conventional sugar, I don't really like to eat it from a spoon, yet this coconut sugar is delicious even straight from a teaspoon. It doesn't leave an after taste like stevia. I also use it as a topping for healthy desserts and in my husbands coffee, he loves it! For those who bake it's great and I use it in raw granola it's Delicious.

Hello Cleveland fans. I recently began research for a new book I'm writing about the NHL's Cleveland Barons (and by extension the California Golden Seals/Oakland Seals), and I'm stuck!
I'm trying to figure out the all-time uniform numbers for the franchise. Some of them are easily found (i.e. I know Gilles Meloche wore #27, Al MacAdam wore #25, Dennis Maruk wore #21, etc.), but I'm having trouble with many of the players who only played parts of seasons or vacillated between the NHL and the minors. I've found conflicting evidence of who wore what (for example most paper sources I've found say J.P. Parise wore #23 in '77-78 but I've seen a couple photographs that look like he's wearing #13) and in some cases I have no idea (e.g. Angie Moretto, who only played five games).
This is a shot in the dark but I was hoping maybe, just maybe, one of you was a Barons fan back in the day and might have an old media guide or game program kicking around. If you do please respond or shoot me a PM.

Job Corps freezing enrollments
CASSADAGA – Job Corps in Cassadaga is currently not accepting any new students.
In a news release from Academic Director Ann M. Anderson in Cassadaga, she stated that effective Jan. 28, the National Job Corps Office has ordered all 126 Job Corps Centers across the country to freeze enrollment and cease accepting new students. The length of the enrollment suspension is determined by the time it takes to achieve necessary savings, but no later than June 30. This effort by the National Office is an attempt to recuperate a substantial budget shortfall within the National Office.
"We first want our community supporters to know that we have operated this Academy with integrity and efficiency, remaining on or slightly under budget through this entire contract period," stated Anderson. "We have already experienced two enrollment freezes in the past 8 months, and despite this have operated at 99 percent of our contracted capacity over a 12-month period.
"In addition we have continued to maintain high standards and provided high quality training to young people that has resulted in employment. Our rating in the Job Corps Outcome Measurement System is 105 percent in 2012. We have also implemented budget cuts at the request of the National Office and continued to find innovative ways to positively engage our students and ensure their success," she stated.
Anderson noted the Cassadaga Job Corps Academy and its operator Career Systems Development Corp. are "committed to continuing to work with the National Office to rescind this order and find ways to replace the cuts with measures which will not place young people in a vulnerable situation and deny them access to the education that they are trying to obtain."
Individuals with any questions or comments are encouraged to contact Adam Dolce, business and community liaison in Cassadaga, by calling (716)595-4237 or by email to email@example.com.
According to Anderson, several Job Corps supporters from across the nation have reached out to express their objections and have asked their member of Congress to communicate with the Department of Labor and instruct them to rescind this order.
U.S. Senator Charles Schumer is one of the ones calling on the U.S. Department of Labor to immediately halt the enrollment freeze.
"The national Job Corps office's decision to prematurely impose an enrollment freeze will harm New York's job-seeking youth and may not be the best way to address the program's budgetary problems," said Schumer in a news release. "The students and workers at our Job Corps centers should not have the rug pulled out from under them, while the national office gets their fiscal house in order."
He urged the Department of Labor to "exhaust more sensible measures, instead of an enrollment freeze that bars Upstate New York's youth from gaining valuable job training through the program."
In order to better evaluate what the other options are, Schumer asked the department for a list of all the other cuts considered in addition to the enrollment freeze and the measures taken between 2011-2012 to mitigate the program deficit.
In addition, he requested the Department of Labor provide a summary of any and all deliberations taken within the department, with other entities within the administration, with contractors and operators, Congress and other experts.
First introduced in 1964, Jobs Corps was designed to provide disadvantaged youth with the skills needed to obtain and hold a job, enter the Armed Forces, or enroll in advanced training or higher education.
In addition to receiving academic and employment training, youth also engage in social skills training and other services to promote their overall well-being.
Since then, Jobs Corps has established 125 campuses nationwide and been successful in providing social mobility for otherwise underserved youths. Upstate New York is home to five Job Corps campuses located in Otsego, Orleans, Albany, Sullivan and Chautauqua counties.
Receiving funding from state and local sources as well as the federal government, these training centers are essential for developing local economies.
The program creates skilled workers who can help drive businesses forward and benefit their respective communities as a whole.

Why not add the pistachios to the onions for a quick soak at the same time? Maybe that would help to alleviate the dryness/burning issues you may be encountering. I always do the parm post bake, BTW.
You are smart to have not posted pics of the bottom of those pies! I suspect momma may have been correct in her critique!
Caught me red handed haha
Chrissy,I'm out here way East in Durham off 70 going towards the Airport....thought I smelled something in the air Sun. night. J/K Like John said, they sure are purdy on top and believe me...I would have been right over to chow those down if an experienced char eater was needed. Bob
Whenever I have problems with the floor overheating (getting distracted, etc), I cool it down using a tea kettle. Fill up a tea kettle with a little water, carefully place it to the part of the floor where you bake the pies, and it will absorb the heat. It typically just takes 5-10 minutes to cool down the floor back to the 900s or upper 800s.
I am going to sound dumb for asking this, but a solid metal tea-kettle? That's a really smart idea that I like a lot - there was the suggestion from the crowd after I explained what happen to toss some water and/or ice in there to knock down that temp, but I think from the size my eyes got they quickly realized that that probably was not the greatest plan...
Its tiny size is perfect for the oven. I also use it for an additional source of steam when baking bread.
Straight out of Naples. Perfect bake

Howie Mandel gets the word out about atrial fibrillation.
You probably know him as the completely enthusiastic judge on the NBC hit, America�s Got Talent, which just ended its eighth season. Or as the Emmy Award-winning host of Deal or No Deal, the long-running game show famous for leggy models bearing briefcases. But Howie Mandel is even more than that. Producer of TBS�s hidden-camera show Deal With It, and creator/executive producer/voice over artist on the Fox animated children�s show, Bobby�s World, stand-up comedian who performs as many as 200 concerts a year, and author of his 2009 memoir, Here�s the Deal: Don�t Touch Me, Howie�s 30-plus year show business career is testament to his versatility and staying power. And now�25 years after ending his stint as Dr. Wayne Fiscus on TV�s hospital-based drama, St. Elsewhere�Howie again finds himself talking about health. But this time he�s working without a script, telling his own story of being diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, the most common type of irregular heartbeat, in an effort to draw attention to the silent-but-potentially deadly condition. RELATED: Why Joe Montana Wishes He Were Twenty Years Younger Atrial fibrillation (AFib)�specifically AFib not caused by a heart valve problem�affects millions of Americans, and often remains undiagnosed. People with AFib not caused by a heart valve problem have five times the risk of stroke as compared to people without the condition. As part of the Fibs or Facts campaign [link to http://www.fibsorfacts.com/index.aspx] created by Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer, Howie is encouraging people find out more by taking the quiz at Fibsorfacts.com [LINK TO http://www.fibsorfacts.com/afib-quiz.aspx]. For each person who completes the quiz, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer will donate $1 to the National Stroke Foundation (up to $25,000). We talked to Howie about how he discovered the condition, what it�s like to live with it, and his secrets to staying healthy. Spry Living: You found out you have AFib during a health screening for a TV show four years ago. Tell us about that. Howie Mandel: When you sign on to do a television show, they get insurance on you to make sure you can be there for the duration of the show. Usually the insurance company will send over a medical person to give you kind of a light little physical. I was getting one in a hotel room�I didn�t even go to a doctor�s office. The doctor just came over, put a stethoscope to my chest and said, �Uh oh.� You never like hearing �Uh oh.� And I go, �What?� He said, �Well, you have atrial fibrillation.� Spry Living: How did you react? Howie: You know what, I�m the eternal optimist. I really didn�t feel anything much worse than maybe tired and the odd time I felt a little dizzy or out of breath, but nothing major. And I said, �OK. So what do I have to do?� He said, �You have to go see a doctor right away.� I thought, I almost never go see doctors. I realized that this is something that almost 6 million people in the U.S. have, and if you have it, you are five times more likely to have a stroke than somebody who doesn�t have it. And that scared the whatever-I-had-in-me out of me. I quickly went to a specialist and I�m managed and I get taken care of. Spry Living: What�s the idea behind the Fibs or Facts campaign? Howie: The campaign is just to educate people. It�s kind of like �Deal or No Deal,� but it�s FibsorFacts.com where you can take a quiz. Not only do you learn about this very common issue, but for everybody that takes the quiz, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer donate a dollar toward the National Stroke Association. It is a great cause and you learn about something that is really common but not well-known. This is probably one area where ignorance is not bliss�ignorance is danger. If I can lend my name and a couple of minutes to get a couple of people to go to this website and learn something and be able to manage an issue they may not know they have, then I�m happy to do it. Spry Living: Has anybody in your family had the condition, or had strokes or anything like that? Howie: No. I�m a really healthy guy. I run 7 miles a day. I didn�t know. Nobody in my family has this. You�ve just got to go get checked. I think that all this information is at Fibsorfacts.com. It�s not like you can sit there and find out all this information and self diagnose, but you should just be aware that it exists, that it�s common and that it�s manageable. When you go to a doctor, he or she can check for it. Spry Living: You said you run seven miles a day. Is that your favorite workout? Howie: No, that is because my wife won�t give me a lift to work and I�ve got to get there in a hurry. I like running. I just do it. It�s a creative time for me. When I�m running, that�s when I get to think. It�s like my time when I get to run. Spry Living: Are you able to keep that up when you�re shooting?� I know you have a totally busy schedule. Howie: I can always find an hour.� Whether that hour is at midnight or 5 in the morning, I can always find an hour. Health is really important to me and that�s why being ignorant of this issue scared the hell out of me. The more I learn about this, the more I found out how common this is which even makes it more scary. That�s why everybody should go take the quiz.� Did you take the quiz? Spry Living: I did take the quiz. I got a 100. Howie: I didn�t get a 100. But I got a nine out of 10.� The second time I took it, I got a nine out of 10, which made me feel bad. By the seventh time, I was getting consistently nine out of 10s. I can�t get it right and I�ve tried seven times, but the good news is that�s seven more dollars for the stroke association. Spry Living: You�re on break from �America�s Got Talent� with a new season coming up next summer. How are you planning to keep it fresh? Are there any surprises? Howie: It�s not up to us to keep it fresh. It�s up to each individual person who has a dream and a passion�they keep it fresh. That�s what makes it different. That�s what makes it fun. It�s always fun to watch somebody plucked from obscurity. Their life changes right in front of everybody�s eyes. It�s never tiring. I hope it goes on for years and years to come. Spry Living: You�re sort of famous for being a germaphobe. How bad is it? Do you not shake fans� hands when they come up to you? Howie: No, I don�t. I�ll fist bump. It�s not about being a germaphobe�that�s just a small part of it. That�s another issue that I have. I have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), the mental health issue. I found that by being open with my issues, help has come my way and it kind of educates others. Spry Living: And you�ve also spoken about your ADHD, and that�s helped a lot of people. Howie: Between A-fib, ADHD and OCD, I�ve almost completed the entire alphabet. I would like to buy a vowel. Brought to you by: Spry Living

Over the years, Ken Tyler has worked with the divergent styles of many artists, adapting to the particular requirements of each one. Producing 'painterly prints' for the major Abstract Expressionist artist Robert Motherwell (1915–1991) was a considerable challenge. For Motherwell, who worked in an intuitive, automatic manner, the technicalities of printmaking could be seen as a constraint. Yet, in his collaborative work with Tyler, his works maintained the freshness of their expression, despite the rigours of production.
One method favoured by Motherwell was collage, which he considered as an equivalent to a modern still life. 'Collage somehow became my joy, and has been ever since. Also, it has another function: Sometimes I get stuck in painting … and often, after shifting to collage for a time, I may resolve the painting problem when I return to it.' But collage had its difficulties too.

That is, the degree to which the economic gap can expand before the unwashed masses rise up and take down the well-scrubbed wealthy few. Think Marie Antoinette and the French Revolution. Fair or not, private jet travel ranks high on the list of activities that many people associate with excess wealth. So as a business jet traveler, do you feel that this part of your lifestyle is offensive to your less-fortunate fellow man? And if not, how would you address the perception of excess? Or would you?
Fewer than 5 percent of American households earn more than $180,000 per year. And frankly, it's a stretch to imagine anyone financing regular private jet travel on that low an income. So those with the means to fly privately are at the extreme pointy end of the earning pyramid. At the other end, the number of Americans living in poverty rose to 43.6 million in 2009-the highest figure in 51 years of recordkeeping. So the gap is widening. And while poor Americans may not exactly be honing their guillotines, there is some sharp rhetoric out there among advocates for the "little guy" condemning the lifestyles of what constitutes economic royalty in this society.
The longer the state of the middle and lower classes remains dire, the louder the public outcry against the wealthy. And it comes from both sides of the political landscape. Tea Party advocates condemn "Learjet liberals" while those on the left become less and less tolerant of the carbon footprints left behind by corporate jets. Logical arguments on both sides get lost in the swirl of emotion. And 24-hour "news" stations encamped on both sides of the political aisle are financially motivated to stir the pot, further dimming hopes for a civil discussion. They appeal to people's anger to get them to tune in, and psychology tells us that when the emotional areas of the brain are stimulated, the rational parts go into remission.
There are those who openly aspire to being seen alighting from a private jet. In their case, achieving greater fame-whatever the means-is often an avenue to augmenting their fortunes. But most users of private aviation face a public relations challenge. They want or need the convenience and security of flying privately, but the image of living to excess can be damaging. The fact that Al Gore purchases carbon offsets whenever he flies privately doesn't even cause a speed bump for those who publicly delight in the irony of Mr. Global Warming spewing jet exhaust. And who can forget the debacle of the Big Three automakers and their private flights to Washington in search of bailout money? Such fiascos are just too delicious for headline writers to resist sinking their teeth into.
It's fascinating that Warren Buffett, who has cultivated a "regular guy" image, openly endorses the private-aviation industry. True, his corporation owns two major bizav companies, fractional-ownership pioneer NetJets and training specialist FlightSafety International. But the apparent contradiction in Buffett acknowledging the advantages of his private flying so publicly is a refreshing dose of frankness among those so privileged. And so far, it hasn't brought mobs of angry peasants to his modest front lawn in Omaha.
But most companies and individuals who fly privately seem to try to do so under the radar. That doesn't mean bizav is indefensible, of course, but it may mean its users need to learn how to defend it. Perhaps they should consider a comparison of "private" flying and "private" driving: Could the average American family get by without a car or two or three? There are countries and cultures today that view owning an automobile as a symbol of excess wealth and ecological irresponsibility. Sound familiar?
Isn't it all just a matter of scale?

Kessler Applauds Fed, Urges Very Selective Value Investing
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Marian Kessler, co-portfolio manager of the Becker Value Equity Fund,
The Portland, Oregon-based Kessler expects a pullback in equities in the coming months though the value investor did reveal stocks she added to her portfolio during the past five months. The Becker Value Equity Fund manager typically invests in companies with market capitalizations greater than $10 billion.
Andrea Tse: Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said the Fed will likely wind-down its bond buying program later this year and conclude it by the middle of 2014. Is that timeline too aggressive given that U.S. data is still pointing to modest to moderate growth? What do you think is the real motive behind this aggressive timeline announcement, and do you think the Fed will actually stick to it?
Marian Kessler: This Fed leadership is much more transparent and open than the leadership under Greenspan. So it's been very straightforward in terms of executing what they say they're going to do. I personally don't think that the tapering or waning should come as a surprise to the market or is particularly aggressive. I think it's very reasonable, particularly with asset prices. The QEs, all of them, QE1, 2, Twist, and now 3 have all really supported asset prices, specifically stock prices. And we've seen an extraordinary move off of the 2009 lows that has really been driven by Fed policy. And with the equity market up nearly 20% through May and being in positive territory the past four years, I think it's time to take a bit of wind out of the sails of the market.
The Fed is not there to determine the direction of stock prices. But obviously the creation of bubbles is a concern. I think it's a reasonable timeline. The market is getting used to the idea pretty rapidly. We've also seen really good news in housing. Although there's still a lot more to go in the employment picture, there's been some improvement there. So, what I think they're doing now is appropriate.
Tse: Ever since the FOMC announcement last Wednesday, we've seen a lot of volatility in the stock and bond markets. How much longer do you think this volatility will continue?
Kessler: I would expect volatility to continue. And the volatility is not just being driven by speculation about changes in Fed policy. It's being driven by a number of other factors, I think most notably China, economic news out of China, as well as liquidity issues globally in fixed income markets, in emerging markets.

Backhanded complimentsPosted Thursday, January 10, 2008, at 6:36 PM
My colleague Sadie Fowler had a terrific story in the paper about a local family performing relief work worldwide.
Someone left a story comment on the web site, praising the story but then turning it into a backhanded compliment, along the lines of "why can't we see more of this in the T-G?"
I'm always a little puzzled and hurt (yes, hurt) when people give us the backhanded compliment of saying that something is "good news, for a change" or "let's see more of this."
Our newspaper contains plenty of good, upbeat, positive material, and always has, for the entire 22 1/2 years I've worked here. Sometimes the items appear on the front page, sometimes they're inside. Sometimes they're detailed, carefully-researched profiles; sometimes they're snapshots of a particular good deed or charitable event. Whatever form it takes, if you look at any issue of the T-G you will find more positive than negative.
The Desana story is far from the only good news that's appeared in the newspaper this week. We've run stories about a Shakespeare Festival planned in Bell Buckle, about a grant that will enable the Tony Rice Center to reach out to people with problems, about the first baby of the New Year. We've run club meetings and charitable donations and on Friday we will publicize a variety of church activities.
It may be that people pay closer attention to the negative. If we had five stories about honor students in the newspaper in a given week, and one story about a teen who committed some horrible crime, I can tell you which one people would be talking about over the water cooler -- but that wouldn't be the newspaper's fault, would it? It's sad when people take things for granted, but then again, maybe it says something about our community that charity is the norm, and not the outrageous, everyone-is-talking surprise.
I have remarked on several occasions that we probably have more coverage of foreign mission trips (I don't know whether the group Sadie profiled uses that term, but their work is at least in the same vein) than any other news outlet in the state. We've won national recognition for at least one of those stories. Anyone who knows me knows that foreign missions is a passion for me.
I spent a good part of today working on material for our annual United Way special section, which will be published next week. That's one of many ways we document, every single day, the good being done in this community every single day.
We are a newspaper. It's our job to cover the community, the good and the bad. Sometimes, negative stories are important -- not for the purpose of dwelling on them, but for the purpose of knowing what our situation is so that we can try to change it, or at least react to it. Positive stories are important as well; they give us something to aspire to. We're always happy to get suggestions about people whose achievements we can celebrate in the newspaper.
That's why we include both the positive and the negative, always have, and always will.

I would bet that the number who feel like this person are in the extreme minority regarding the T-G. The national news is another matter and sometimes that affects our our perceptions in other arenas.

I guess I'm glad that good things aren't as "newsworthy" as atrocities and tragedies.
I admit I've wished for headlines like "D & D player finds cure for Ebola" or "Fundamentalist Pastor wins marathon" but the media coverage you offer seems about as balanced as reality will permit.
If people want to see more positive articles in the paper,might I suggest two things?
1.Make/report more good news.
2.Pay for more pages with ads and subscriptions.
-- Posted by quantumcat on Fri, Jan 11, 2008, at 1:04 PM
When a news story on the front page has a good hearted story or good news on it, papers are in every newsbox all over town. But just let something bad happen you have to search for a newsbox that has papers.
So this tells me Bad News sells newspapers and after all isn't that what you are in business to do?
Isn't that why you print the jail intake, divorces, Obits..that's what people want to read. I know people who buy a newspaper everyday and all they read are the Obits and jail intake.

The T-G probably has more missions-minded stories than any newspaper I know anything about. It's a good thing when we can read good, positive stories and feel good about the world we live in for a few minutes. It doesn't happen often enough.
Unfortunately, people in general tend to be negative. I'm sure the person who gave the "backhanded compliment" intended to be positive. They just couldn't help throwing in a little negativity� its human nature.
John, you do a great job and have for years. If you have a journalistic fault it could be that you tend to be a little too sensitive or defensive when it comes to criticism of yourself or especially your fellow reporters. I would think that after 22� years your skin would be getting a little thicker. Keep up the good work.

I would personally like to know more about the growth and future plans of Shelbyville... For instance, tell us what those "important people" who meet up once in a blue moon are doing to attract more businesses to this county.
I don't think the paper is horrible, but I do notice how the same folks usually appear in "what the T-G bloggers are saying"... The sports section has always been commendable, but with a little more effort to educate the county on coming attractions, and potential growth would only benefit the paper.
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Sat, Jan 12, 2008, at 4:15 PM
I can relate to what darrick said also. But I also would like to see follow up stories on things that have been published in the past. Like the lady in Murfreeboro (I think she was the mother in law to Dr Barnes) I'd Like to know what is happening with her. Did they ever find her or have any clues to where this lady might be or what?
There are so many articles that have been published that kind of just leave you hanging never knowing what the outcome is, it would be nice to know if the kids you feature sometimes that are sick and in need of medical treatment are doing better.

Damaged Goods
If your aircraft requires repair after an accident, your insurance should cover the bill. What it won't cover is the diminution of value that results from a history of damage.
What's the worst thing that can happen to your business jet? You might think the answer is an accident resulting in total loss, but it's not. If a hangar roof collapses and destroys your aircraft, your insurance should enable you to replace it. On the other hand, if the airplane is only damaged in the incident, the insurer may opt to repair it, leaving you with a jet that operates just fine but has (gasp) damage history.
Everybody in business aviation has a favorite damage-history story. There's the Hawker 800 that was carrying the president of Rwanda when a missile hit it, blowing one of the engines off the pylon. There's the GV that was parked on a ramp on a hot day and sank a foot into the tarmac. My favorite is the Falcon 900 that, while landing near a golf course, was hit by a golf ball that lodged in the fuselage.
All three of those airplanes—even the Hawker—returned to service, but to varying extents, the incidents affected their value, and it's not hard to see why. If two identical airplanes are priced the same and one of them had the vertical stabilizer shaved off and repaired while the other has no damage history, which would you buy?
Aircraft owners sometimes assume that their insurance protects against diminution in value as a result of damage, but the truth is that hull insurance seldom covers this. You can buy diminution-of-value coverage, but according to Stuart Hope of Hope Aviation Insurance, aircraft owners rarely purchase it due to its high cost relative to the limited perceived risk. As noted earlier, hull insurance should cover the repair of damage, and that cost is readily identifiable by getting quotes from repair stations. Loss in value, on the other hand, is difficult to pin down and can be hidden or even extinguished by external circumstances. If an aircraft was damaged in late 2008, when business jet values plummeted across the board, it would be hard to say how much of the loss in value resulted from the damage incident rather than market forces.
"The first question is whether the aircraft was 'passive' or 'operating' at the time of the incident," says veteran business jet appraiser Bob Zuskin, when asked how he determines diminution of value caused by damage. All other things being equal, an incident that occurs in flight or on landing, for example, is more serious than something that occurs while the aircraft is parked in a hangar. Zuskin, the founder of Virginia-based Jet Perspectives, notes that market conditions make a big difference in valuing damage history. In today's environment, "every incident has some ramification," he says.
Even if your insurance doesn't cover diminution in value, it doesn't mean you can't recover from somebody. If the aircraft is damaged in the hangar, you may be able to hold multiple parties responsible in court, but if the damage results from natural causes, like a bird or lightning strike, you're basically out of luck unless you have the insurance.
Because $25 million of hull coverage doesn't cost that much more that $20 million, many jet owners are tempted to insure their aircraft for a good deal more than they're worth. You should resist this temptation. It is better to over-insure a bit rather than purchase too little hull coverage, but if you get greedy, your insurer will have a strong incentive to repair a seriously damaged aircraft rather than write you a check for 100 percent of the hull coverage. Given the impact on value, checking for damage history is one of the most important parts of the due diligence you should perform when buying an aircraft. But even if it has no history of damage, the airplane can be damaged between the time you agree to buy it and when you close the deal. A purchase contract normally gives the buyer the right to terminate the transaction if the aircraft suffers damage or if previously undisclosed damage is uncovered. The problem is, how do you define "damage"? Does the buyer really get to walk away from the deal if someone accidentally scratches the wood veneer during the prebuy inspection? To answer this question, aviation lawyers frequently turn to the definition of "major repairs" in Appendix A to Part 43 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, the criterion for issuing the dreaded FAA Form 337, which details major repairs and alterations.
Damage history is particularly tragic when it occurs prior to delivery of a beautiful, brand-new business jet. Every manufacturer can share horror stories on that subject, like the one about the aircraft that was pelted by a hailstorm while flying to the closing location. Here again, the contract should allow the buyer to terminate, perhaps with the right to acquire the next available aircraft from the manufacturer on comparable terms. But many new-jet contracts also give the buyer the opportunity to acquire the damaged aircraft (after it has been repaired, of course) and be reimbursed for the diminution in value caused by the damage. Buyers should be careful, though, if the repairs require burdensome recurring inspections or if warranty protection may be inadequate to cover potential future issues.
Damage incidents are more common than you might think. On average, business jets get hit by lightning every seven to eight years, and "hangar rash" occurs all the time. Even when damage is significant, how it is repaired and by whom has a big impact on how it is perceived.
One thing everyone agrees on: diminution in value as a result of damage diminishes over time. What seems like a major problem today will be less of an issue after the aircraft flies around for a few years.
Important Criteria in Evaluating Aircraft Damage:
Did the damage occur in flight?
Did it occur while the aircraft was in motion (e.g. taxiing)
Who repaired the damage?
How was it repaired? Was a part simply replaced with a new part?
Was an FAA Form 337 issued?
What does the logbook entry say?
Are any non-standard recurring inspections required as a result?
How long ago did the damage occur?

What our readers had to say
Great article on aircraft damage. I have been involved in aviation records for over 20 years and I still see buyers getting burned by damage issues. There are even those out there who still buy without a records review. If it looks pretty and flies well, they buy it.

No interfernce of any type. Matter of fact, we often play in a venue that has a T-coil system that transmits wirelessly to suitably equipped hearing aids. It drives many other pickups (and amps) nuts, but the M1A just chugs along completely unaffected.
I also didn't care for the looks at first, but I've really grown fond of the looks now. I bought the J45 for $25 in 1973 with both the top and back TOTALLY smashed. I had it rebuilt and the luthier finished the top in a truly unique design. The white M1A dramatically adds to the unique one-of-a-kind appearance.
Since "great sound" is very subjective, I really hesitate to recommend what sounds good to me, but I am a HUGE fan of the M1A. I flat pick only and run the M1A thru a TC Helicon Harmony G then straight into the mixer and house system with a touch of reverb.
Possibly your local music store could slip on in your J45 for a trial....but, for me, the key is adjusting the pole pieces to get the sound you like.

Reid Fragel's long-debated shift from tight end to offensive tackle is now official. Fragel told reporters after the Gator Bowl that it was his decision to approach Urban Meyer about the position change. He feels his best opportunity to make it in the NFL is at tackle...plus the Buckeyes are dangerously thin at the position.
Fragel said he weighs 280 now (at 6' 8") and hopes to play next season at 300 lbs. He said the tight end position is in good hands with Stoneburner there for one more year, and two promising freshmen coming back for their second seasons...Jeff Heuerman, who impressed in his first year, and Nick Vanett, who redshirted this past season. He tweeted this morning that his new number will probably be 77.
Heuerman's younger brother is one of the nation's top tight ends in the class of 2013, and he would have to be considered an OSU "lean" at this point.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with Serbian President Boris Tadic in Belgrade, Serbia, on October 12, 2010. The Secretary and President Tadic discussed a number of issues, including the progress of Serbia's democracy over the past decade, the goal of EU integration, and Serbia's strong cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
The Secretary said, "For me personally, it is a great honor to be here in Serbia 10 years after the people of this country began to reclaim their own future. That victory of the people's will was a milestone in the long struggle to build Serbia's democracy. And in the decade that has followed, Serbia has made great progress, and we, speaking on behalf of the United States, owe a debt of gratitude to all of those who helped create that progress: members of Serbia's civil society; its political leaders, Mr. President; and of course, the citizens themselves."
She continued, "Achieving the goal of EU integration requires leadership. And Mr. President, you have been providing that leadership. Now, there are areas where, as the President said, we will not agree, and foremost among them is Kosovo. But we believe that the September 9th United Nations General Assembly resolution provides a good basis for a meaningful, forward-looking dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina. That dialogue can and will benefit people in Kosovo and Serbia by addressing practical, day-to-day issues and the long-term relationship between you. It will also have a positive impact on the relationship between Serbia, your neighbors, Europe, and the United States.
"I also want publicly to thank Serbia for your strong cooperation with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. I appreciate all that has been done by your government, particularly your law enforcement officials, and I appreciate again hearing from President Tadic the high priority that Serbia places on fulfilling its remaining obligations to the Tribunal."
In conclusion, Secretary Clinton said, "Let me close by reaffirming our admiration for the progress that has taken place here in Serbia over the last decade. As Vice President Biden said when he was here, the United States values Serbia as a country with not only a tremendous history, but more importantly a vast potential. We believe in the potential of Serbia. Serbian Americans have made many contributions to the growth and development of the United States, and we are absolutely convinced that Serbia can become not only a member of the European Union but a leader in Europe, an example in Europe. And the United States is committed to working with you to help you build a better future for this country, for your people, and for this region."

It'd turn reporting spam into a click then confirm operation instead of click, fill out, send operation.
