Granny Smith iPods
Page Tools
Exactly how many septuagenarians own iPods?
Spike was a little surprised to hear that the 2GB squawker Alan Jones has launched his own podcasts - the heavily marketed and supposedly cool, edgy technology by which owners of iPods and other MP3 players can download radio or music shows on their natty little music devices.
Of the 426,000 listeners who tune in to hear Alan Jones each week, 211,000 are over 60 and 115,000 of those are over 70. Now they can struggle with those fiddly little buttons to download Jones's daily rant, along with JJJ's J Cast, a weekly grab bag of the youth network's highlights.
The more, the merrier
The row over ratepayer-funded alcohol at Woollahra Council continues to simmer, but no one can accuse the people's representatives of splurging on expensive vintages. If anything, councillors seem to be going for quantity over quality.
Council figures reveal that the drinks bill at meetings last financial year was a hefty $7657, most of it spent on wine. But, with about a dozen bottles of red and white finding their way to tables each week, the vino averages about $11.50 a bottle - not the sort of price you might expect to pay for a half-decent drop anywhere near the council headquarters in Double Bay. Clearly, councillors prefer to buy and drink in bulk.
Plans to trim drinking costs were floated by some councillors last month but voted down by a large majority. When quizzed about why councillors seemed to need a drink to struggle through their duties, a 22-year-old Labor councillor, Marcus Ehrlich, said it was just a normal part of the meals that were provided for them. "I believe that four years out from school and being four years past the age of 18, I don't need someone telling me how much I can drink and questioning my ability in council after having a drink," Ehrlich said.
Approval of Seals
As Spike reported last week, Bob Carr is being courted as a potential political commentator by the new radio station Vega, but another organisation is competing to give Bob a job - of sorts. The general manager of Maroubra Seals Club has written to the former premier to offer him work. Although Spike was told recently by Clubs NSW that Carr was not a member of any club, it turns out that he has been a paid-up Seal for years.
"We could put him behind the bar at first, or maybe try him out as a doorman," its general manager, Peter Reid, suggested, adding that success in that role might lead to bigger things later.
Meanwhile, Carr's chief spin doctor has already moved on and plans to keep on spinning. Walt Secord, who spent much of his time trundling around the corridors of Macquarie Street with the so-called "trolley of truth", a small vehicle used for carrying Carr's copious press releases, has landed a gig at the public relations firm Hawker Britton, run by Carr's former chief-of-staff, Bruce Hawker.
Watch this space
A sign of the times? The three giant advertising billboards on the University of Technology Sydney buildings in Ultimo have been blank for years, so passers-by are wondering why their peeling surfaces have been recently lit up by spotlights at night. The answer, from a university spokesman, James Button, is that staff have been "testing the lights".
UTS is not permitted to lease the space to a commercial advertiser, so it is looking at ways to promote its own activities on the billboards, but has not yet decided how. Tarting up the decrepit billboards for an advertising blitz could cost up to $50,000, so they are likely to remain in limbo for a while yet.
Swift response
Spike was intrigued to learn that staff at Westfield at Bondi Junction were spotted tootling around on Segways - the dinky, scooter-like personal transporters - at the weekend.
It turns out that concierges were being trained to use the vehicles and will mount them officially from today. "They make our staff much more mobile and visible in the centre," a Westfield spokeswoman, Julia Clarke, told us, adding that the vehicles would carry a logo and the slogan: "How may we help you?"
The vehicles, which are electrically powered so they can be plugged in and recharged overnight, failed to find wide public favour when first rolled out in 2003, though some workplaces use them. Last year, some airport workers in Vancouver reportedly got overexcited, pushed the vehicles to the maximum 20kmh, fell off and ended up in hospital.
Westfield assures us that safety will be a high priority and the Segways will have a 5kmh limit.
Green gongs
It has been observed that getting the NSW Greens organised is a bit like herding cats. But, despite their independent spirits, a diverse collection of tree huggers and activists were all present and correct, politely sipping beer and nibbling crinkle-cut potato chips, on time to hear the winners of the inaugural Bad Developer Awards announced last week.
The event, hosted by the Greens upper house MP Sylvia Hale, included a David and Goliath prize for "inspiring activists", jointly awarded to a group opposing exhaust stacks on underground motorways and to residents trying to stop housing developments on western Sydney's ADI site.
The housing developer Stockland took the main gong for a development at Sandon Point, near Wollongong, which the Greens say damages a 5000-year-old Aboriginal site. Sadly, no one from Stockland arrived to collect the prize.

Milligan announces new Honors program, scholarships
CARTER COUNTY, Tenn. - Milligan College released the following information about their Honors program and scholarship offerings:
"The new Milligan Honors Program was announced today, along with two full-tuition academic scholarships named in memory of Milligan's 14th president, Donald R. Jeanes.
The Milligan Honors Program will provide an advanced opportunity for high-achieving students from all major fields to deepen their intellectual scholarship, leadership and service. It is designed to build a foundation for personal and professional growth and also is excellent preparation to gain entrance into the nation's top graduate programs.
"Milligan has a local and national reputation for academic excellence," said Milligan President Dr. Bill Greer. "The Milligan Honors Program builds upon that established commitment to scholarship by providing our high-achieving students with additional opportunities to explore their true potential and to enhance their experience at Milligan."
The Milligan Honors Program complements and builds on Milligan's liberal arts curriculum. Scholars take common honors courses together and delve further into their major courses. Discussion courses include special lectures, field trips, and conferences that enhance and deepen the liberal arts academic experience. Scholars work closely with faculty on additional scholarship, research, creativity, productivity or performance work in their selected major field.
In addition, honors students are required to complete two of the following capstone experiences: an honors thesis, a service practicum, a research experience for undergraduates or a semester abroad. Other community-building activities, including the Honors Roundtable, provide supportive opportunities for students to connect and share with faculty and fellow scholars.
The Jeanes Scholarships will provide two full-tuition academic scholarships to the most promising freshman candidates each year to participate in the program. Other program participants are eligible for academic merit scholarships, ranging from $10,000 to $15,000. Milligan also provides need-based aid and accepts all state and federal aid, including the Tennessee HOPE Scholarship.
The program will begin in Fall 2015 and accept 10 to 15 scholars per year. Dr. Michael Blouin, assistant professor of English and humanities, and Dr. Amy Edmonds, assistant professor of political science, will serve as co-directors of the Milligan Honors Program.
Admission to the Milligan Honors Program is selective and requires a high school GPA of 3.5 or higher and at least a 29 on the ACT or 1300 on the re-centered SAT.
To apply, students should complete the Milligan College Application for Admission by Nov. 15 and check the box indicating interest in the Milligan Honors Program. Those academically eligible will receive a letter of invitation and Milligan Honors Program application. Those accepted before Nov. 15 may also be invited to interview for one of the Jeanes Honors Scholarships.
To find out more about the Milligan Honors Program, call 800.262.8337 or visit milligan.edu/honors."

Boyd, Kathryn (2000) Becoming oneself, a call to action : drama therapy with female adolescents. Other thesis, Concordia University.
Text (application/pdf)4MB
This research paper involves a reflection, exploration, and presentation of my dramatherapy work with female adolescents. The work is divided into three parts. Part one details personal beliefs and ideologies that have influenced my approach to drama therapy. These include my ideas about hope, respect, and power dynamics; aspects of social constructionist theory (particularly the notion that all realities are socially constructed); and principles of narrative therapy (namely prioritizing girls' knowledge, sequencing life-stories, and externalizing problems). Part one also examines theories and beliefs about adolescent development. The core developmental tasks of adolescence are discussed in relation to gender. Female identity development is addressed in terms of connection, attachment, and relationship. These concepts are then explored in relation to other aspects of female development relevant during adolescence including intimacy, loss, and authenticity. Part two involves the presentation of six clinical vignettes, which connect issues related to female identity development with drama therapy techniques. Role-play (in various forms) is discussed as an effective means of exploring identity, externalizing aspects of self, and storying experience. Part three integrates theory and practice. Connections between feminist thought, narrative therapy and drama therapy are made, and a body of professional drama therapy work with adolescents is discussed. In addition, my own methods of practicing dramatherapy are outlined.

Leave it to Landover Baptist Church to offer deals on salvation while the rest of us are in a recession.
Love the fine print, too
Leave it to Landover Baptist Church to offer deals on salvation while the rest of us are in a recession.
Love the fine print, too
AND if you order right now we'll include ABSOLUTELY FREE this fine set of Ginsu knives! Now how much would you be willing to pay for your immortal soul?? These fine knives are indispensible for any gourmet or apologist. If you can't cut through atheists' arguments against your claims of exclusive knowledge and favor of a supernatural being, you can just cut through their throats instead! Act now while supplies last!
… I can't believe this is real, there is no way people can be that ridiculous … Oh wait, yes they can :/
Wow. I thought $149.00 was a ridiculous cost, but when I read the fine print…$149.00 + $35.00 + $200.00 + $75.00 + $180.00 + $800.00 + $17.00 + $749.00?! $2205.00?! WTF!?
Wow. Just…wow.
I can't believe this is real. It strains Poe's law too far when you see the shirts they're selling in their "official store"
I think i might get the "Heathen", "Fornicator" and "Heretic" shirts though…
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! IF YOU CALL WITHIN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES, WE'LL THROW IN THE ADDRESS BOOK FOR THE FUNERALS OF THE NEXT 100 SLAIN GIs RETURNING FROM IRAQ!!!
Fred Phelps, Landover, whatever…they're ALL fakes and conmen.
I have a picture I took a little while back for ya, from Sydney, Australia. Here is a link:
Mr Mehta, feel free to grab a copy if you so wish. I think it's priceless.
Landover Baptist is an excellent spoof site. Nothing they present is obviously satirical, and many have been fooled into thinking they're legitimate. They make clear how nonsensical religious claims can be and still appear credible. Landover Baptists are on our side, atheists.
@atomjack it is satire
I like most, hard to pick the ones I like best but I must admit I'm a bit confused about the True Christian and the g-string… (I know the True Christian is a spoof)
The I Love Satan made me smile.
That's a pretty good deal compared to some churches–particularly Scientology and Mormonism.
Good old Landover Baptist.
A lot of people will ask, "what does this religion have to offer me?" Bumping up the rewards and punishments to infinity would seem to be the limit, but I've found a way to offer my followers more.
Believe in me and I'll give you two eternal lives. No extra charge.
Believe in me and I'll through in week-end passes to Hell so you can have some fun.
LOL when i went to check out the link on my schools computer it blocked it under the Restricted Violence / Extreme category.
That can't possibly be real, can it? I mean, it has to be satire, right? I cannot fathom the kind of mind that would think that is a good thing.
A person's "soul" is only worth $149? I could get more than that on eBay.

Inside Michigan Field Hockey
Sunday, Oct. 16 -- vs. No. 6 Penn State (Ocker Field), Noon
Live Stats | Stick It to Cancer Fundraiser
The No. 10-ranked University of Michigan field hockey team (10-3, 2-1 Big Ten) returns to Ann Arbor to host No. 6 Penn State (9-3, 2-0 Big Ten) this Sunday (Oct. 16) at noon at Ocker Field. The game coincides with Michigan's Stick It to Cancer fundraiser as the team will collect donations for the National Foundation for Cancer Research. [ Stick It to Cancer Fundraiser ]
Michigan defeated Northwestern (3-2 in double overtime) and Yale (7-1) in Evanston this past weekend and has now won four games in a row, two of which were in Big Ten play. Senior Bryn Bain (Berlin, N.J./Eastern Regional) scored the game-winning goal in the win over Northwestern, while freshman Axelle Wouters (Antwerp, Belgium/Onze Lieve Vrouwe Antwerp) and sophomore Michelle Roberts (Pocomoke, Md./Pocomoke) had a pair of goals apiece in the Yale win.
Opponent History
Penn State -- Penn State holds a 22-14 series advantage, but the Maize and Blue has won the last three contests, including a 4-3 overtime win over the Nittany Lions in the 2010 Big Ten Tournament semifinals. In that game, Rachael Mack had a hat trick and scored the game-winning goal four minutes into the extra session. Michigan won the last meeting in Ann Arbor, 2-0, on Sept. 27, 2009.
U-M All-Time vs. Penn State -- 14-22
U-M All-Time vs. Big Ten Opponents -- 100-104-8
U-M All-Time at Home -- 120-41
Best Start Since 2004 -- U-M is off to its best start, 10-3, since 2004 when the Wolverines also started 10-3 on the way to a 17-6 record, including a 5-1 mark in Big Ten play and a national semifinalist finish.
Love the Home Cookin' -- U-M has won six games in a row at home after its 2-0 win over No. 12 Iowa on Oct. 1. After losing on Ocker Field in the season opener to No. 2 North Carolina, the Wolverines have prevailed in dominant fashion in the past six home games, outscoring their foes 22-2. U-M also posted a six-game home win streak last season.
Staying Hot as Fall Nears -- After starting 0-4 last year -- including losses three top-six ranked teams -- the Maize and Blue is 25-6 over the past two seasons, closing 15-3 last season and starting 10-3 this season.

Cheap,poor or stubborn or all.
I was recently in one of my cheap modes. Actually that is my normal mode. I purchased 1200 dollars worth of used galvanized hurricane shutter material for about 100 dollars. I live in Florida so hurricanes shutters are a big part of our summer health exercises, up and down every other week.
I wanted to get something lighter then my plywood that I have used for 26 years. They were getting old and heavy and so am I.
I had all these odd length panels and had to figure out a way to cut them reasonably safe. I say reasonably because there is no real way to fool with raw cut metal panels safely. One slip and your going to get cut even with gloves.
Come on folks. If I was wealthy do you think I ruin a day doing stuff like this. I am cheap and on the lower end of the do it yourself income.
I set up my 25 year old radial arm saw to cut the panels that are about 16 inches wide. To cut tin on a radial saw you have to pull the saw out and put the tin between abrasive blade and fence. You push the abrasive cutoff blade into the tin. Do not pull it across the tin like you do wood on a radial saw. The abrasive blade will grab the tin and will go ape crap.
You have to hold down the front edge of the tin down and tight to the fence so the blade will start to grind and not grab.
I have done this type operation before and it does work good once the scare factor leaves your body. Eye protection,cotton balls or ear plugs in the ears are a absolute must.
Gloves and long pants. I know you folks up north wear long pants all the time except 3 days in summer but down here in Florida its shorts mostly. Hold the work from the right side of the saw, keeping it tight to the fence and tight to the table and push the saw very slowly Keep your body and face on the right side of the saw so if something does
happen your are in a safe position. Its same procedure used with table saw. Stay the heck out of blades path.
Most metal chop saws won't handle 16 inch panels of tin.
I cut about 40 panels in about 1.5 hours. Filed sharp edges and good to go with punching or drilling holes.
This is just one way you can ruin a perfectly wonderful day saving a few bucks and causing fewer toys at some shutter contractors house.
S. Florida

In the mid-1980s, with many savings and loan associations on the verge of collapse and with the federal insurance fund all but broke, regulators came up with an ingenious rescue device: Healthy S&Ls willing to absorb their sick brethren were given a fictitious boost to their balance sheets--"supervisory goodwill"--that allowed them to meet capital standards. And they could carry this goodwill on their books for 40 years.
Now, this accounting ploy has become a hotly contested legal and political issue that has potentially widespread impact on the thrift industry. The dispute began in 1989, when the government, despite its promise of 40 years, passed the S&L bailout bill, which ordered S&Ls to phase out the goodwill by 1994. Thrifts cried foul. Although they have sometimes won injunctions staying the elimination, they lost attempts to void the law's provision. But recently, they scored a key victory: On Apr. 21, the U.S. Claims Court ruled that the government must pay damages to the acquisitors of a Minnesota S&L that failed after its supervisory goodwill was canceled. What's more, some sympathetic members of Congress want to convert the ersatz goodwill into real money for the thrifts, courtesy of the taxpayers.
One way to understand how this complex mess got started is to look at CalFed Inc., which agreed to take six failing California and Florida S&Ls off regulators' hands in the mid-1980s. The thrifts, though, had roughly $600 million in fegative net worth, which would have wreaked havoc with CalFed's balance sheet. So regulators wiped out the negative net worth by allowing CalFed a similar amount in freshly minted goodwill.
Since then, CalFed's fortunes have changed radically. The 1989 abolition of supervisory goodwill will reduce its capital base by $86.6 million this year and could bring it to the brink of a regulatory takeover. More than 350 thrifts that received supervisory goodwill have also been affected, to the tune of $5 billion to $7.5 billion.
S&Ls that think they have gotten a bum deal from the government are getting support from some House Republicans, notably Representative Bill McCollum (R-Fla.), whose home state includes a number of ailing thrifts. He says there are 53 relatively healthy thrifts that could fail if they can't use their goodwill to meet capital standards. Instead, McCollum wants the Resolution Trust Corp. to give the S&Ls cash in exchange for supervisory goodwill. He contends that the buyback would cost $2.5 billion--vs. $25 billion in potential bailout costs. "These are sound institutions with good core earnings and good management," he says. To press his point, McCollum says he will block any new funding for the thrift bailout until his colleagues agree.
BREACH OF CONTRACT. So far, McCollum hasn't won much support for his position. The Office of Thrift Supervision says only 17 thrifts would be lifted out of danger by a goodwill buyback.
Yet there's a good chance that the S&Ls may get satisfaction in the courts. In the past, appellate panels overruling lower courts have generally argued that Congress has a right to change regulatory policy. But Claims Court Chief Judge Loren A. Smith said in his decision that the abolition of goodwill in 1989 breached the contract that the government made with Winstar Inc., an investor group, when it agreed to purchase a failed Minnesota S&L in 1984. "While Congress' power to regulate is not impaired, the government may be compelled to pay for the results of its actions," Smith wrote.
The Claims Court is expected to move within a month to apply its Winstar ruling to a dozen other S&L breach-of-contract cases that are pending, including CalFed's. If Smith's rulings are upheld when reviewed by the federal appeals court, hundreds of additional cases may flood in. Ultimately, the issue could end up in the Supreme Court.
Compared with the $500 billion that Washington already has committed to the S&L bailout, any damages that thrift acquisitors eventually collect on goodwill claims may seem like small potatoes. Yet the hit to taxpayers' pockets will be one more painful reminder of the folly of trying to save an industry with smoke-and-mirrors bookkeeping.
THE BATTLE OVER GOODWILL THRIFTS Many were allowed by regulators to add fictitious "supervisory goodwill" to their balance sheets during the mid-'80s in return for taking over failing S&Ls. After promising they could use the goodwill for 40 years, the government in 1989 wiped it out. Thrifts say that's not fair. Without the goodwill, supporters say more than 50 thrifts would not meet capital standards and could fail VS. GOVERNMENT Regulators and lawmakers argue that such fiscal finagling artificially conceals thrift industry problems. Regulators claim predictions of numerous failures are overblown. Restoring goodwill may affect the fate of only 17 S&Ls DATA: BW

4) HE'S NOT A FAN With devotion to New England sports teams reaching unprecedented levels of intensity, this charge verges on blasphemy. There are two variations here: while some haters say Shaughnessy is simply indifferent to the fate of the Red Sox (and, less notably, the Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins), others accuse him of outright antipathy — especially toward the Sox. The latter group points to Shaughnessy's 1990 book The Curse of the Bambino, which cemented both Shaughnessy's national reputation and the notion that the Sox are a doomed franchise. "I think he's enjoying the fact that the Red Sox currently have a lot of payroll to work with, because he's able to go out and get big names, and there's a lot more things he can lash out at them about," says Sons of Sam Horn founder Eric Christensen. Barstool Sports publisher Dave Portnoy goes further: "I think he honestly roots against the Sox. I think he profits when they do bad."
5) HE EMBODIES OLD-MEDIA ARROGANCE The haters' explanation for why Shaughnessy mocks bloggers? He's worried that his status as an intermediary between pro athletes and the public is in jeopardy. "He's an obnoxious, arrogant SOB," says Gaffin, "who doesn't realize that it's not 1989 anymore and the world doesn't revolve around the sports pages of the Boston Globe."
6) HE BLOWS IN THE WIND According to the haters, Shaughnessy is far too easily swayed by both positive and negative developments. Case in point: his June 2005 statement that the Sox were a lock to win the AL East. ("Come late September, this is going to look like Secretariat at the Belmont in 1973," Shaughnessy wrote.) The Yankees won the division; the Sox got the Wild Card and were swept by the White Sox, who went on to win the World Series.
7) HE'S FUNNY LOOKING This is a tricky one, because Shaughnessy's physical appearance — specifically, his red Afro and plump cheeks — is both a focus of scorn and a catalyst for hostility in other areas.
Consider this tale from "Cheryl" — a Rhode Island woman who regularly stays in a hotel near Shaughnessy's during spring training, and asked that her last name not be used. "Every year, I see CHB jogging," Cheryl wrote in an e-mail. "In 2006, I'm coming off a 6- or 7-mile fitness walk, and here comes CHB jogging toward me. He had just come out of his hotel and he was so bright red and sweating so profusely that I thought, 'Oh, God, if he needs CPR I'm not sure I'd offer. . . . . He's got that red curly hair and that white splotchy skin and he's all gangly.' "
Ponder this for a moment: a trained CPR practitioner thinks she might actually let Shaughnessy die if he dropped to the pavement in front of her. That's as bad as it gets.

The Owner Isn't Telling The Truth
SUBMITTED: Thursday, August 01, 2013POSTED: Thursday, August 01, 2013
I had to respond here. I see the owner denying any wrongdoing, but like the original poster my elderly parents are deludged with this company's so-called sweepstakes weekly. If the company was legitimate they should have either an option to ask off the mailing website or a website where you can do so, but they have neither. This means you have to spend your stamp money to send them a request to get taken off the mailing list. A request that so far they've ignored five times in the last year.
WARNING: Anyone who receives mail from this company needs to carefully read the fine print on the back at the bottom. When you send in your check for that "processing fee" here's what you're actualy paying for and I quote:
"Your processing fee inclusion guarantees you total privileges in the PWA Global continuing service program."
Sounds good so far, right? What could be the harm in that? Until you keep reading and see THIS:
"This assures that you are subscribed to receive important sweepstakes entry, deadline and prize informationon a monthly basis. Upon your inclusion into the PWA Global montly service offer,, you hereby authorize PWA Global and any of its agents and assigns to initiate agreed-upon withdrawals from your checking account to cover monthly fees. ... Additionally, by accepting the offer, you authorize PWA Global to make a montly deduction of $19.90 from your checking account, to cover membership and maintenance, by the means previously agreed upon between PWA Global and your bank."
Most people will never take the time to read the back and fine print that printed in very hard-to-read font and realize that while they think they're paying a small fee to get a prize, instead they are signing up to have their bank debited by approx. $20.00 a month just to get more junk mail telling them they may win something at some time. Oh, and that they've effectively opened up their bank account for PWA Global or any of it's "agents" to help themselves to whatever other fees they might dream up and then claim the person willingly signed up for.
All I can say is thank heavens for my law training and the fact that my eldery mother asked me if I'd write a check to cover this sweepstakes entry since she was short on cash after another company had drained her bank account that month.
BUYER BEWARE: PWA Global is counting on the fact most of you won't read its fine print. A prety sweet little deal, if you're the owner of PWA Global. It's not so great if you're on a fixed or low income.

The company does not mail excessively and respects the rights of individuals to not be mailedby sending a note not to mail them. You must be confusing them with other companies. Many company names in the sweepstake business are similar. They always give a 100% no questions asked refund to customers who are dissatisfied.

Lopez: this time it's forever
Page Tools
Jennifer Lopez is revealing all about her surprise third wedding at last, admitting her new status as Marc Anthony's wife has softened up her personality.
J-Lo appeared on US television talkshow Primetime Live, and confessed to interviewer Diane Sawyer she was "a little nervous."
Then, she opened up about her June wedding, and vowed her latest trip down the aisle will lead to a lasting romance.
"You learn things as you go," she tells Sawyer. "I'm figuring it out for myself as I go along," added Lopez, who has been divorced twice and suffered at least one broken engagement within the past seven years.
"What do I know about marriage? I think I've learned that both people have to really wanna be there," she said. "It's how you treat each other when you're hurt. I think that's the most important thing - because it's all great when everything's fun and great and lovely, but I think in the hard times is when a marriage becomes a marriage or it just falls apart."
Lopez went on to reveal that she's ditched her tough girl image.
"I was always so Bronx-y in a way - gutsy and b---sy and 'I don't care what anybody thinks'."
She also said she didn't think she'd ever be happily married after breaking up with Ben Affleck earlier this year.
"There's always a part of you that doesn't believe everything once you've been through a lot," she said.

Cuyuna Range Women's Club to meet
Cuyuna Range Women's Club to meet
CROSBY — The Cuyuna Range Women's Club will meet 1 p.m. Monday in the Jessie F Hallett Memorial Library meeting room in Crosby. The program entitled "Dispelling the Myths about Hospice" will be given by Shelly Sowada, Manager of Business Development & Education at Heartland Hospice in Brainerd. Sowada will explore the benefits of hospice, explaining how it relates to planning end of life care, understanding the benefits of hospice care, and including all the different services that Heartland Hospice offers. Hospice care may not be what people think it is. As well as end of life nursing care, it may include many other responsibilities such as counselling, specialized massage therapy, or after care for the family members.
Special music will be provided by Vanessa Hudrlik of Crosby. Vanessa plays the piano, violin and cello, and she also sings. So all who attend will enjoy a variety of musical numbers.
Following the program there will be a brief business meeting chaired by president Myrna Nelson.
Refreshments will be served by the committee of Betty Damsgaard, Jerry Kester and Gloria Stewart.

Chapter II.4
PERHAPS it was in the exercise of his calling that he had come to see the troops
depart. The Porvenir of the day after next would no doubt relate the event, but its
editor, leaning his side against the landau, seemed to look at nothing. The front
rank of the company of infantry drawn up three deep across the shore end of the
jetty when pressed too close would bring their bayonets to the charge
ferociously, with an awful rattle; and then the crowd of spectators swayed back
bodily, even under the noses of the big white mules. Notwithstanding the great
multitude there was only a low, muttering noise; the dust hung in a brown haze,
in which the horsemen, wedged in the throng here and there, towered from the
hips upwards, gazing all one way over the heads. Almost every one of them had
mounted a friend, who steadied himself with both hands grasping his shoulders
from behind; and the rims of their hats touching, made like one disc sustaining
the cones of two pointed crowns with a double face underneath. A hoarse mozo
would bawl out something to an acquaintance in the ranks, or a woman would
shriek suddenly the word Adios! followed by the Christian name of a man.
General Barrios, in a shabby blue tunic and white peg-top trousers falling upon
strange red boots, kept his head uncovered and stooped slightly, propping
himself up with a thick stick. No! He had earned enough military glory to satiate
any man, he insisted to Mrs. Gould, trying at the same time to put an air of
gallantry into his attitude. A few jetty hairs hung sparsely from his upper lip, he
had a salient nose, a thin, long jaw, and a black silk patch over one eye. His
other eye, small and deep-set, twinkled erratically in all directions, aimlessly
affable. The few European spectators, all men, who had naturally drifted into the
neighbourhood of the Gould carriage, betrayed by the solemnity of their faces
their impression that the general must have had too much punch (Swedish
punch, imported in bottles by Anzani) at the Amarilla Club before he had started
with his Staff on a furious ride to the harbour. But Mrs. Gould bent forward, self-
possessed, and declared her conviction that still more glory awaited the general
in the near future.
"Senora!" he remonstrated, with great feeling, "in the name of God, reflect! How
can there be any glory for a man like me in overcoming that bald-headed
embustero with the dyed moustaches?"
Pablo Ignacio Barrios, son of a village alcalde, general of division, commanding
in chief the Occidental Military district, did not frequent the higher society of the
town. He preferred the unceremonious gatherings of men where he could tell
jaguar-hunt stories, boast of his powers with the lasso, with which he could
perform extremely difficult feats of the sort "no married man should attempt," as
the saying goes amongst the llaneros; relate tales of extraordinary night rides,
encounters with wild bulls, struggles with crocodiles, adventures in the great
forests, crossings of swollen rivers. And it was not mere boastfulness that
prompted the general's reminiscences, but a genuine love of that wild life which
he had led in his young days before he turned his back for ever on the thatched
roof of the parental tolderia in the woods. Wandering away as far as Mexico he

The New Jersey Supreme Court is once again tackling the thorny issue of affordable housing. The latest case involves regulations proposed by the Council on Affordable Housing to implement a "growth share" methodology.
As we have previously discussed on this Business Law Blog, the lack of consensus surrounding New Jersey affordable housing policy is creating havoc for municipalities and businesses struggling to make sense of the current legal landscape. The current lawsuit is the latest in a long string of court decisions and legislative action since the 1975 New Jersey Supreme Court decision in Southern Burlington County NAACP v. Township of Mount Laurel. The decision established that municipalities were obligated to use their zoning powers to foster the development of housing affordable to low and moderate-income families.
Since the Mount Laurel decision, COAH has mandated the number of lower-cost units each New Jersey municipality must have. The goal is to prohibit municipalities from using zoning laws to keep these projects out of their communities.
However, COAH has proposed new rules that would employ a "growth-share" methodology to determine the number of units required based on actual need, using projected rates of housing or job growth. The council believes that the current approach is antiquated and is seeking to adopt a more flexible approach.
State and local governments support the new regulations, while builders and developers are opposed. The Appellate Division previously rejected the new rules, and now the New Jersey Supreme Court must weigh in.
In recent arguments before the court, Deputy Attorney General Geraldine Callahan, representing COAH, argued that Mount Laurel does not require a single approach for calculating fair housing obligations and that COAH should be authorized to implement more flexible rules. "Every municipality knows it has a constitutional obligation and that it cannot bury its head in the sand," Callahan said. "They know they can't enact the type of zoning ordinances that they did before Mount Laurel."
However, attorneys for developers were far more skeptical, arguing that there is no factual evidence that the "growth-share" methodology would accomplish the goals of the Mount Laurel decision. Advocacy groups also agreed. "You'd have people sitting there waiting for growth to occur," Kevin Walsh, the counsel and associate director of the Fair Share Housing Center, said. "That's a completely impractical way to develop housing in New Jersey."
This is clearly a controversial issue and one that we will be watching closely. Please be sure to check back for updates.

If you have any questions about the proposed COAH regulations or other legal issues related to affordable housing in New Jersey, please contact me, Patrick McNamara, or the Scarinci Hollenbeck attorney with whom you work.

beach day
We had the first full beach day of summer at Winnipeg Beach last Sunday. My parents joined us, we had the best picnic lakeside, used our new giant sunshade tent with great results, swam in the cold lake water, ate beach fries, ice cream and milkshakes and Luke visited the arcade. He used his tickets to buy a whoopie cushion (yayyyy . . . ) The day was a great kick-off to summer 2013!

@mamam1222 - If we can stay top until Christmas we can take great confidence into the second half of the season.
@waltea - I think Saturday's game against Fulham was magical. Nasri showed both class and composure with his two goals.

@Hammond15 - A very good performance by the whole team but especially Nasri who is showing his quality! It was good to get back on track at home.
@temeyery2004 - Samir Nasir's performance was like poetry on a football pitch! I was also impressed with Djourou and Fabianski.

Helicopter crash doctor remembered
Page Tools
Just minutes before he died, RAAF Squadron Leader Paul McCarthy was in his element, giving colleagues a big cheesy grin and both thumbs up.
The 30-year-old senior medical officer from the Sunshine Coast was one of nine Australians to die when a Sea King helicopter crashed on the Indonesian island of Nias while delivering aid to the earthquake devastated area on April 2.
Friends at his military funeral yesterday at the Innovation Centre of the University of the Sunshine Coast described him as a compassionate doctor, an adventure seeker and a devoted friend. He was also a gifted student, athlete, rugby player, kite surfer and trans-Atlantic rower.
Dr McCarthy's best friend, Patrick Weinrauch, an army captain, remembered their time as the first Australian team to conquer the trans-Atlantic challenge in 2001. The pair were second in a field of 36.
"But there was so much more to him than adventure. Paul, he was compassionate, kind and loving," Dr Weinrauch said.
In a statement read by her daughter, Dr McCarthy's mother said:
"I will miss you dreadfully, but I will love you forever."

County still paying for legislative foolishness
The never-ending impact of an unfunded mandate was felt again this week as the Haywood County commissioners face another tough budget year.
As of July 2012, each county in North Carolina had to start paying for its own contract with a voting machine manufacturer to perform federally required maintenance.
The annual maintenance on the county's voting machines is required through the Help America Vote Act and federal funds have paid for a majority of the cost in the past. The N.C. Board of Elections had to have $646,000 in matching funds to access the $4 million in federal funding.
However, that amount was taken out of the state budget by legislators. That shortsighted cut is now an extra expense for the 100 counties in North Carolina that have to pick up the bill.
If any real thought had been given to the issue before it was taken out of the budget, perhaps the Republican majority in N.C. General Assembly would have considered allowing each county to provide $6,400 to account for the matching funds. Surely the states would have preferred that annual cost as opposed to what they had to start paying.
Haywood County will now have to spend $41,500 a year for the next five years to carry out its current maintenance contract on voting equipment.
This was not a wise move for the state in a time when each county department has to scrimp and save to stay under budget. The county has to make tough decisions between what is considered a necessary service and what can residents can do without. Meanwhile, those in charge at the General Assembly are making careless decisions in an effort to cut the budget without thinking about how it is affecting local governments.
The goal of the Help America Vote Act is to make voting fair and accessible to all Americans is a good one. Thankfully the federal lawmakers who passed the measure ensured it could happen at a minimal cost to those implementing it. In refusing the funds, North Carolina legislators only ensured the available money would be spread among those in other states. Those paying the price are taxpayers across the state, county by county. If it isn't too late, the General Assembly needs to reconsider their action and ensure the federal funds are used as they were intended.

Milwaukee -- Bon-Ton Stores Inc. said Monday that its CEO Bud Bergren will retire his position once the company finds and hires his successor.
When a new CEO is in place, Bergren will transition to chairman; current executive chairman Tim Grumbacher will vacate the chair but remain a director. Bergren has been CEO since 2004.
The succession plans comes on the heels of same-store sales dips in October and a downwardly modified outlook for the year.

Bradley Wiggins will lead Team Sky at the upcoming Tour of Britain in preparation for this month's Road World Championships in Florence, Italy. Wiggins was unable to defend his 2012 Tour de France title because of injury but returned to action at the Tour of Poland at the start of August. The 33-year-old cyclist says he is ''feeling really good'' and the world time trial championships are his ''main late-season goal.'' He will be looking to add the world time trial title to his Olympic gold from 2012 in the same event. Wiggins withdrew from last year's Tour of Britain because of a stomach bug. The Tour of Britain starts Sept. 15.

This post is from April 2009 — please be aware that impact factor ratings change over time.
A colleague of mine put together some impact factor information about peer-reviewed journals that sedimentary geologists might submit to.
Note: I don't really have any profound message with this post — I'm not trying to say anything — I didn't study exactly how the impact factors are calculated — I don't have any comment on impact factors in general — I'm sure I left out some journals (especially ones that carbonate sed geologists might be into) — blah blah blah, and so on and so forth. I simply thought it was interesting information and wanted to share it on my informal blog.
This first list below ranks a bunch of journals by impact factor from 2007 (the most recent year I could find a comprehensive list). I included Nature and Science because (1) it's interesting to see just how high they are rated and (2) sedimentary geology research does make it in there from time to time.
- Nature — 28.751
- Science — 26.372
- Earth-Science Reviews — 4.310
- EPSL (Earth & Planetary Science Letters) — 3.873
- Geology — 3.754
- GSA Bulletin — 3.354
- Journal of Geology — 2.607
- Marine & Petroleum Geology — 2.346
- Basin Research — 2.310
- Geological Society of London — 2.304
- Terra Nova — 2.065
- Marine Geology — 1.975
- Journal of Sedimentary Research — 1.890
- Sedimentary Geology — 1.757
- AAPG Bulletin — 1.273
- Geo-Marine Letters — 0.811
When I saw this list I was actually quite surprised that Marine & Petroleum Geology was so high. It's a good journal and I like it, but I didn't realize it was doing that well. Maybe I need to get something in there. I'm happy to see Basin Research so high — but maybe that has something to do with just getting a paper accepted (pending revisions) — w00t!! And I've forgotten about Terra Nova — there is some intriguing stuff in there from time to time, I need to stay on top of that.
Okay, so that was ranking from 2007 … the next list below is the same journals, but by their 5-year average:
- Science — 30.361
- Nature — 30.616
- Earth-Science Reviews — 6.146
- Geology — 4.161
- GSA Bulletin — 3.579
- Geological Society of London — 2.976
- Journal of Geology — 2.978
- Basin Research — 2.743
- Marine Geology — 2.657
- Terra Nova — 2.574
- Marine & Petroleum Geology — 2.266
- Sedimentology — 2.166
- Journal of Sedimentary Research — 2.075
- Sedimentary Geology — 2.038
- AAPG Bulletin — 1.848
- Geo-Marine Letters — 1.259
A bit of jockeying of positions, but pretty similar overall.
For those of you who might be preparing your thesis/dissertation work for publication, it's worth it to think about where you might submit it early on. Even if you're not very close to submission, check out the home pages for the journals and the author guidelines. Some journals want more interdisciplinary studies, some like fairly short manuscripts, some prefer longer, more detailed works, and so on.
If you want to check out where other geoscience journals fit or make your own customized list, you need to use Journal Citation Reports. It requires a subscription (which is why an academic colleague of mine looked these up … I don't have access).Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Gestation is typically 63 days but it can go as long as 65. I would go ahead and take her temperature. If the temp has dropped below 99 degrees, you can expect puppies within 24 hours.
If you don't see this temp drop or some progress by tonight, you should start to worry a little.
Let me know if you still have questions.

The 37LE5900 is one of the most startling TV propositions we've come across for quite some time. Why? Because it manages to combine 37 inches of edge LED picture technology with a price of under £600. In other words, LG appears to be out to rewrite the TV pricing rulebook once again. And in doing so, it could just see 37LE5900's selling like hot cakes. Provided the set is actually any good, of course.
It looks nice, anyway. Or at least, it looks like something worth more than £589, chiefly thanks to the extreme glossiness of its bezel, the infusion of a subtle tinge of red into the bezel's extremities, and the fact that the set's edge LED lighting enables it to be extremely slim: just 39.9mm off its stand.
It has to be said that the 37LE5900 lacks some of the glamour of LG's Infinia design, which start with the LE7900 models – mostly because the 37LE5900 doesn't enjoy Infinia's sheer, one-layer fascia design. But if the 37LE5900 can hold its own in performance terms against the LE7900s, we're pretty sure plenty of readers will be more than happy to accept a little design compromise in return for the 37LE5900's strikingly low price.
Especially since the 37LE5900's feature count seems surprisingly uncompromised for such an affordable TV. You only have to check out its connections to start to appreciate this. For as well as an extremely respectable four HDMIs, you get a bounty of multimedia support in the form of a D-Sub PC port, two USB ports, and an Ethernet port.
The USBs go much further than the simple JPEG support you might expect for the 37LE5900's money, too. For they can also play MP3 audio and even DivX video – including HD files. Excellent.
The USBs can be used, too, to make the TV Wi-Fi via an optional USB dongle, which is why it's particularly handy that LG has provided two USB ports.
The Ethernet port had to be included on the 37LE5900 because the set has a built-in Freeview HD tuner. But LG has again gone beyond the call of sub-£600 duty and made the Ethernet also able to access files stored on a DLNA PC, as well as providing an interface with LG's NetCast online platform. Excellent.
Or at least it would be excellent if the NetCast service had more content on it. For after dutifully checking on our 37LE5900 review sample to see if LG has added any new services since last time we saw the service working, we're sad to say nothing has changed. You still only get YouTube, Picasa and AccuWeather.com portals, leaving the service looking streets behind what Samsung, Sony, Philips and Panasonic are doing right now. Here's hoping LG can grips with adding more service providers sooner rather than later.
You do get the option to turn off local dimming on the 42" and presumably larger versions. However it is similarly ineffective as you found on the 7900 series. I can't see edge dimming ever being more than a clever bodge to try and get round LCD's lack of black. It works well in certain scenes but for a sensitive viewer it causes more problems than it solves. Less sensitive viewers probably don't notice the light black levels in the first place!
I have the 47" version of this TV. As the previous comment states, localised LED dimming can be disabled on the larger models (although I personally think it's fairly effective). The contrast ratio on my TV seems very good unlike the reviewed 37" (as long as the power saving features are left disabled). It is important to note that LG recently updated the firmware and added BBC iPlayer, Facebook, Twitter, Google maps and several other content streams to Netcast. I was initially very disappointed with the Netcast offering but it is now greatly strengthened. Overall I am very impressed with my 47LE5900.

The Medical Examiner's office has identified the 39-year-old Waianae man who was killed Sunday in a three-car accident Sunday as Aaron Collins.
A 24-year-old Kalihi man was arrested on suspicion of third-degree negligent homicide and second-degree negligent injury.
The suspect was driving a white Lexus around 2:44 p.m. when it crossed a double-solid line on Farrington Highway near Auyong Homestead Road and collided with a Chevy driven by the victim, police said.
The victim's car was then broadsided by a jeep. Collins died at the scene.
Three other people were injured.
This was Oahu's 15th traffic death, compared to 17 at the same time this year.

Jezebel's Daughter HTML version
Chapter II.15
Doctor Dormann had behaved very strangely.
He was the first person who made the terrible discovery of the death. When he came to
the house, on his evening visit to his patient, Mr. Keller was in the room. Half an hour
before, Mrs. Wagner had spoken to him. Seeing a slight movement of her lips, he had
bent over her, and had just succeeded in hearing her few last words, "Be kind to Jack."
Her eyelids dropped wearily, after the struggle to speak. Mr. Keller and the servant in
attendance both supposed that she had fallen asleep. The doctor's examination was not
only prolonged beyond all customary limits of time in such cases--it was the examination
(judging by certain expressions which escaped him) of a man who seemed to be
unwilling to trust his own experience. The new nurse arrived, before he had definitely
expressed his opinion; and the servant was instructed to keep her waiting downstairs. In
expectation of the doctor's report, Mr. Keller remained in the bedroom. Doctor Dormann
might not have noticed this circumstance, or might not have cared to conceal what was
passing in his mind. In either case, when he spoke at last, he expressed himself in these
extraordinary terms:--
"The second suspicious illness in this house! And the second incomprehensible end to it!"
Mr. Keller at once stepped forward, and showed himself.
"Did you mean me to hear what you have just said?" he asked.
The doctor looked at him gravely and sadly. "I must speak to you privately, Mr. Keller.
Before we leave the room, permit me to send for the nurse. You may safely trust her to
perform the last sad duties."
Mr. Keller started. "Good God!" he exclaimed, "is Mrs. Wagner dead?"
"To my astonishment, she is dead." He laid a strong emphasis on the first part of his
The nurse having received her instructions, Mr. Keller led the way to his private room.
"In my responsible position," he said, "I may not unreasonably expect that you will
explain yourself without reserve."
"On such a serious matter as this," Doctor Dormann answered, "it is my duty to speak
without reserve. The person whom you employ to direct the funeral will ask you for the
customary certificate. I refuse to give it."
This startling declaration roused a feeling of anger, rather than of alarm, in a man of Mr.
Keller's resolute character. "For what reason do you refuse?" he asked sternly.
