Arrests Protesting Vandenberg Minuteman Missile Launch
On February 25, the Chair of the INES Executive Committee and President of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation David Krieger, along with his wife Carolee, Daniel Ellsberg, Cindy Sheehan and 11 others, were arrested at Vandenberg Air Force Base while protesting the test launch of a Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. About 100 people came to Vandenberg to protest the launch that, as usual, happened under the cover of darkness.

Defense Intelligence Agency threat assessment shows slower Chinese nuclear modernization.
By Hans M. Kristensen
At about the same time nuclear arms reduction opponents last week incorrectly accused the Obama administration of considering "reckless" cuts in nuclear forces that would leave the United States "with fewer warheads than China," Congress received its annual threat assessment from the U.S. intelligence community.
China's nuclear arsenal is at a size that makes comparison with U.S. nuclear force level meaningless – even at the lowest level feared by the critics – but the threat assessment showed that China's nuclear force modernization has been slower than predicted during the Bush administration.

The dangers of a military attack on Iran's nuclear programme
By Stuart Parkinson
There are increasingly vocal demands for military action to halt Iran's alleged nuclear weapons programme. Stuart Parkinson, ED of the INES member organisation Scientists for Global Responsibility UK, takes a critical look at the evidence for such a programme and argues that any military attack is likely to make matters considerably worse. Read on here.

Stop the War protests against Iran and Syria intervention
On 28 January 2012 at the United States Embassy in London, Stop the War held a rally to launch the Don't Attack Iran campaign. Hundreds of anti-war protesters gathered in central London at a demonstration against Western intervention in Iran and Syria. The rally, organised by the Stop the War Coalition, took place outside the US embassy in Grosvenor Square. Protesters waved banners bearing the words "Don't attack Iran" and "Hands off Iran and Syria", while the crowd joined together in chanting: "One, two, three, four, we don't want another war. Five, six, seven, eight, stop the killing, stop the hate." Read on here: stopwar.org.uk/index.php/video/1078-stop-the-war-protests-against-iran-and-syria-intervention-
Preventing War Saves More than Lives
A new fact sheet from the Friends Committee on National Legislation shows that preventing war is 60 times cheaper than fighting it.
Research has indicated that investing early to prevent conflicts from escalating into violent crises is, on average, 60 times more cost effective than intervening after violence erupts. Still, the world spends just $1 on conflict prevention for every $1,885 it spends on military budgets. In the U.S., less than 2% of income tax goes to civilian foreign affairs agencies, while 39% goes to the military.

INES Annual Report 2011
INES was founded 20 years ago in the belief that, in our complex world of scientific discovery and technological innovation, scientists and engineers have an important role to play in the assessment of risk and in providing leadership for global responsibility in the uses of science and technology. For 20 years INES has been an open network of dedicated organizations and individuals seeking to apply the training of science and engineering to the many serious social and environmental problems and risks created by science and technology. Our message at INES has been and remains that there are limits to the applications of science and technology, and that those limits must be defined by global responsibility to those alive on the planet now and to future generations that will follow us on the planet.

PITTSBURGH - The University of Pittsburgh baseball team (15-11, 7-5 ACC) completed a three game sweep of No. 23 Georgia Tech (15-13, 5-7 ACC) this weekend at Charles L. Cost Field at the Petersen Sports Complex, making this the first time since the 2010 season the Panthers have started their home slate with an 8-0 record.
This victory finalizes the second consecutive home sweep of an ACC opponent this season and the first time Georgia Tech has been swept during the 2014 campaign. It is Pitt's first time sweeping a nationally ranked opponent since April of last season against then No. 16 Notre Dame. The Panthers have recorded 18-straight home victories and won seven of the last eight contests.
"I was really pleased with Matt (Wotherspoon) on the mound today," Head Coach Joe Jordano said. "He needed that. He did a very solid job. He commanded his pitches well. He gave us an opportunity, just as Joe (Harvey) and Rhys (Aldenhoven) did the two previous days. We beat a very, very good baseball team with a great tradition that is well coached. I thought our guys came in and played our game. We played clean baseball. We pitched well. We played hard and we took advantage of some offensive opportunities."
Matt Wotherspoon (SR/Mountain Top, Pa.) (3-3, 6.81 ERA) recorded the victory for the Panthers today. He tied his season high by pitching seven innings, allowing six hits and striking out four batters. Matthew Grimes recorded the loss for the Yellow Jackets.
After two and a half scoreless innings, the Panthers added runs to the board in the bottom of the third. Matt Johnson (JR/Plano, Texas) earned a lead-off walk for the Panthers. Manny Pazos (FR/Miami, Fla.) then laid down a bunt the pitcher was unable to field, putting runners on first and second. Stephen Vranka (SR/Monroeville, Pa.) then had a sac bunt to advance both runners which was followed by a Dylan Wolsonovich (SO/Ford City, Pa.) line drive into left field to score both runners, putting the Panthers on top with a 2-0 lead.
After another scoreless inning for both teams, Georgia Tech struck back and recorded their first run in 22 innings dating back to Friday night. Keenan Innis started off the fifth inning with a single for the Yellow Jackets. With a groundout to the shortstop, Innis then advanced to second. With the runner in scoring position, the lineup turned over and Daniel Spingola brought Innis home with a single to center field, making the score 2-1.
The Panthers countered the Yellow Jackets' run in the top half of the inning with one of their own in the bottom half. Jordan Frabasilio (JR/Chandler, Az.) recorded an infield single to the shortstop. Johnson followed the single up with a double of his own, advancing Frabasilio to third base. The Yellow Jackets then intentionally walked Stephen Vranka (SR/Monroeville, Pa.) who extended his hitting streak to 10 games and reached base in the 16th straight contest by doubling in the first inning. After loading the bases, Boo Vazquez (JR/Youngstown, Ohio) added to his team leading 30th RBI when he drew a walk to bring in a run, putting the Panthers up 3-1.
The Panthers added another run in the bottom of the sixth. Eric Hess (JR/Erie, Pa.) doubled down the left field line to start the Panthers off. Nick Yarnall (FR/Landisville, Pa.) followed up with a single to right field, advancing Hess to third. Frabasilio hit a sacrifice fly to center field to bring Hess in for an RBI, giving the Panthers an insurance run and a 4-1 lead.
Georgia Tech then threatened in the top of the seventh inning after a lead-off triple from Connor Justus. After Justus scored on a passed ball, Wotherspoon retired the Yellow Jackets in order to end the inning and his stint on the mound.
Luke Curtis (JR/Philipsburg, Pa.) came in to relieve Wotherspoon in the top of the eighth inning and the final two innings while allowing just two hits en route to his second save of the season.
The Panthers will return to action on Tuesday, April 1 when they host West Virginia in the home half of the Backyard Brawl. First pitch set for 6 p.m.

Bend Parks & Rec takes new safety measures
New 'park safety resource' to watch for vandalism, other problems
BEND, Ore. - Jessica Yasutome is getting to know neighbors, parents and most importantly people who use the park.
"We had been seeing a violation in some of the park rules, we just want to stay on top of it.," she said.
She's the districts new park safety resource, and with summer still in full swing, vandalism and late-night park hangout sessions have become the norm.
"The graffiti, the vandalism, they cost us thousands of dollars," Yasutome said.
That's something she is out to stop.
"People are calling me directly when they see problems. It really helps with the communication," Yasutome said.
April Sliker lives near Harmon Park in Bend and runs an in-home day care, so safety is a No. 1 concern, at home and at the park.
"It's going to reassure us parents that we are coming down here with our children that they're safe." Sliker said.
And though she notices some problems at the park herself, it's the extra eyes that bring her comfort.
"I think just having a contact person, someone that we can call that we can chat to just knowing someone is aware," she said. "We came right after Brewfest and found four big jugs of beer over there, so it's reassuring."
It's also reassuring for neighbor Terry Foley, who lives directly across from Harmon Park and has seen some of the damage himself.
"There was some graffiti on the side of the boat house, and I've seen some vandalism on the kids playground," Foley said.
There's a little more hope for those things to fade with Yasutome's new job.
"Maybe this sets a good example for people. Maybe it's a good influence," Foley said.
Whether it's not wearing a life jacket or drinking in the park, Yasutome says she and the neighbors will be watching -- all for the sake of safety.
"We are finding that it's a lot calmer, there are a lot fewer rule violations, and we just keep trying to make this a good experience for everybody," she said.
If you've noticed some unusual activity or want to report anything suspicious going on in your neighborhood park, call Bend Parks and Rec Park Services at 541-388-5435 or call 911 dispatch at 541-693-6911

FleishmanHillard Welcomes Second Class of Alfred Fleishman Diversity Fellows
2013 Class More Than Doubles the Size of First; Fellows Will Be Located in 11 Offices Across the Country
24 Oct, 2013, 14:00 ET from FleishmanHillard
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- FleishmanHillard has announced the second class of the Alfred Fleishman Diversity Fellowship program, which welcomes 19 Fellows to 11 offices across the agency's U.S. network. The program, part of FleishmanHillard's Diversity Matters initiative, addresses the need for more diversity in the industry.
"Our firm is immensely proud to offer a program that provides young professionals the opportunity to launch their careers in our dynamic industry," said Dave Senay, president and CEO of FleishmanHillard. "I know their passion, energy and ideas will position them for success and strengthen our capabilities. I'm proud of the way they represent the critical mission of this program – to help bring a richer diversity to FleishmanHillard and the communications industry as a whole."
The program was named in honor of Alfred Fleishman, the agency's co-founder and a pioneer of modern public relations. Fleishman was a champion for promoting human rights, connecting people from diverse backgrounds, and breaking down communications barriers.
The 2013 class of Alfred Fleishman Diversity Fellows is composed of the following seniors and graduates:
"Accepting a position as an Alfred Fleishman Diversity Fellow has been an invaluable experience that has surpassed my expectations," said Ashley Simms. "It's amazing to see my aspirations come to fruition at a global agency that cultivates diversity, fosters progression and exudes innovation at every level. I can already see my skills advancing from being exposed to the wonderful talent at FleishmanHillard."
The program, which brought in nine Fellows in its first year, provides six- to 12-month paid fellowships, including benefits, to seniors, recent graduates and graduate students at U.S. colleges and universities. One of the goals of the program is to prepare Fellows for careers in the communications industry, including full-time employment with FleishmanHillard.
"The fellowship has been a rewarding and truly educational experience for me," said Will Alexander, a member of the inaugural class who was hired to the New York office's financial and professional services team. "It's incredible how much I've learned about practical media relations, effective strategic communication and PR in general."
In addition to Alexander, the agency has hired Fellows Tala (Esguerra) Chmiel (Los Angeles), Carolyn Smith (Atlanta), Caroline Trujillo (Dallas) and Nichole Hamilton (Los Angeles).
Along with the Alfred Fleishman Diversity Fellowship program, FleishmanHillard's Diversity Matters initiative also includes a Diversity Council that focuses on providing strategic direction and tactical resources in all areas of diversity, including recruitment and retention.

Fisheads Trounce Monmouth To Even Rugby Record
The Rockaway Fisheads traveled to Monmouth New Jersey last Saturday and paid a call on the rebuilding Monmouth Rugby Club. The hosts will not likely welcome the Fisheads back anytime soon as the locals blasted Monmouth 50-3 in one of the most one sided matches in recent memory.
Rockaway took another step toward reclaiming their place among the Division 2 elites after a 0-2 start placed the season in peril.
"We are back on the right track at 2-2" said Mike the Russian in his somewhat broken version of the English language. "Now we have to turn up the heat for the rest of the season. If we finish 5-2 we will get either second or third and make the play-offs again."
Another play-off berth would be the fourth consecutive trip to the post season for the Fisheads who are looking to get to the next level this year after 3 painfully close play-off defeats. "We can't get ahead of ourselves and put ourselves in the postseason just yet" said veteran Kevin Wrafter.
"We have 3 matches to go against 3 tough teams. Morris, Montclair and the Village lions are all tough squads. They have play-off ambitions of their own and we will have to be ready for them. Taking any of them for granted will be fatal because nobody is making the play-offs with 3 losses. We have no margin for error here and must be at our best from here on out."
The locals looked to be near the best they could be at Monmouth as they scored at will and bullied the host team with savage pack play throughout.
The speed and athleticism of the visiting New Zealand boys and the return of a newly groomed Ash "The New Zealand Bleeder", complimented the Fisheads trademark rough stuff and the match was basically over the moment it began.
Rookie sensation Shaggy scored another impressive try and seems to be the Fisheads best new find in many years. Brian O'Grady returned to the lineup and performed superbly, adding a score from 40 meters out on a dazzling burst to the end zone. It was textbook rugby from a team that has just recently gotten its groove back. "We can do great things from here on out if we stay focused and do the things we do well.
If we lose focus and try to play beyond ourselves, we will get tripped up. One game at a time as the adage goes" said the gruff but momentarily contented Grouch McCann.
The Fisheads return to Fort Tilden this Saturday to face the visiting Morris Lions Rugby Club. The Fisheads expect a play-off atmosphere and an exciting match with a lot on the line for both sides. "Every week is a must win from here on out" said player/coach Bob Johnson. "In essence the play-offs began for us in week 3.
We cannot lose again this season. With each win we live another day. One loss and we die. It's not that complex. Win or die."
Kick-off is at 1:00 p.m. with a post match party at the famous Rugby Clubhouse at 114 Street and Rockaway Beach Boulevard. Come out and support your Rockaway Fisheads and see great hard hitting rugby!!! BE THERE.

The unfinished foot gives the smoker a flavor experience before the very limited 2009 harvest of select Ecuadorian Habano wrapper kicks in. The experience is unique and very interesting.
This select wrapper had been set aside by the Garcia Family, due to the small quantities produced, and we were very pleased and honored that we were allowed to have it for this project. You will find this medium to full bodied smoke has an extraordinary savory quality.

US Facebook Numbers Continue to Rise
Because I'm a bit of a number fiend, I'm continuing to monitor the number of Facebook users on a weekly basis (possibly rising to twice-weekly now, since I'm so impatient!) and below you can see the latest graphs generated. As you can see, active users in the US continues to rise after the post-Thanksgiving (or was it post-Beacon?) drop. Numbers in the UK on the other hand seem to have dropped quite significantly – I suspect this is due to the post-Christmas lull, and it'll pick up again this week as everyone goes back to work and starts uploading their Christmas photos. Having said that, the same lull doesn't seem to have occured in other Christmas-celebrating countries – Canada continues to rise, although Australia has dipped a little as well.
Turkey and France both continue to increase their numbers, and South Africa has taken a bit of a drop but nothing too significant. I suspect the really telling numbers will come later in the week or early next week, once eveyone has settled down again after the various winter holidays. Still, only time will tell!

- How to Read a Study Record
Malnutrition is a frequent symptom of various malignant diseases and is frequently observed in patients with gastrointestinal tumors. Eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) has been introduced as specific and anticatabolic acting substrate in cancer patients. Only few randomized trials are available which investigated the effect of EPA in form of an EPA-enriched, protein- and energy-dense oral nutritional supplement mostly in patients with pancreatic carcinoma.
Therefore, the effect of an EPA-rich oral nutritional supplement for two months on functional state and quality of life in patients with other gastroenterological tumors and weight loss is investigated in this randomized prospective trial.

The Problem
The client had moved to a new headquarters building located on the A4 and this had involved the relocation of 3,000 staff from three other offices. A transport policy had been put in place to ensure that all employees had reasonable means of getting to the new offices, that parking spaces were correctly allocated, cycle lock-ups ordered, taxi and shuttle bus services between offices organised and a 'car-share initiative' established.
Whilst the company already had a comprehensive database containing employees and contractors address and postcode details (as well as other information on car ownership, department worked in etc) it had no way of utilising the information in a co-ordinated way, and therefore optimising the objectives of the transport policy.
The Solution
Initially, Geoplan GeoAnalyser allowed the client to see, at a national level, the distribution of where its employees and contractors travelled from, to the new headquarters. A second map showed the distribution for a concentrated area around the new headquarters.
An analysis was performed to measure the number and percentage of employees and contractors falling within 1, 3, 5, 10 and 20 miles of the new offices. The analysis demonstrated that in terms of employee proximity, the new headquarters actually provided an easier commute than the company's previous offices. This provided statistical evidence to support the relocation decision.An additional analysis identified all employees living within 30, 45, 60, 90 and 120 minutes drive time from the new office and the travel time function calibrated to represent road speeds at peak times. This allowed the client to check peoples claims of how long the journey took them and to manage more effectively a travel benefits scheme which provided assistance for personnel living over 1 hour's drive from the office.
Finally a database of employees interested in a car sharing initiative was mapped. It was then easy to spot where people could possibly be introduced to each other to car share, thereby further easing potential parking problems at the new offices.
The Benefits
Whilst providing very simple maps and analysis, the client was very pleased with the results and the systems.

The takeover bids launched for two NZX-listed firms yesterday could signal a new phase of heightened acquisition activity on the local sharemarket as companies take advantage of relatively low interest rates to fund business purchases and increase revenue, say analysts.
Financial services provider Dorchester Pacific is planning a full takeover of Auckland car seller Turners Auctions, while the three biggest shareholders in private hospital operator Acurity Health Group have launched a cash bid for the 29 per cent they do not already own.
Craigs Investment Partners head of private wealth research Mark Lister said many companies had made good progress recovering from the global financial crisis and had reached a point where expanding revenue through their existing business was becoming more difficult. Takeovers offered a means to keep growing.
"Many of these businesses are well capitalised, with low debt levels, so there's the balance sheet capacity out there for businesses to take [acquisition] opportunities and also you're starting to see boards and management teams getting a bit more confident that the economy, globally, is on a firmer footing," Lister said.
"Over the next year I think we'll see more mergers and acquisitions activity."
While much of that activity would probably take place overseas, he said there was potential for more takeovers of NZX-listed firms, particularly at the smaller end of the market.
There have been relatively few acquisitions of locally listed firms recently. Fisher & Paykel Appliances was taken over by Chinese whiteware giant Haier in 2012, and this month the board of ASX- and NZX-listed food manufacturer Goodman Fielder supported a takeover proposal by Singapore's Wilmar International and Hong Kong's First Pacific.
Daniel Metcalfe, senior client adviser at sharebrokers OMF, said companies were making use of low interest rates to add value to their businesses through acquisitions.
While interest rates have increased this year, they remain below the historic average.
"Within the limited offerings that we have in New Zealand there are still companies that do offer some quite good value [to acquirers]," Metcalfe said.
Salt Funds Management managing director Paul Harrison, whose firm holds shares in Acurity and Turners, said a number of firms at the smaller end of the sharemarket were undervalued and could be takeover targets.

Using relatively cheap funding to make acquisitions and increase revenue made economic sense.
Dorchester plans to offer Turners' investors $3 a share in cash. The company said it could also offer interest-bearing convertible notes, Dorchester shares or a combination of notes, shares and cash.
Dorchester said it would also require Turners to pay a fully imputed special dividend of 15c a share once it had acceptances that would give the acquiring firm a more than 50 per cent shareholding in the company.
The $3 offer price represents a 9.1 per cent premium to the $2.75 Turners shares - which closed up 10.9 per cent at $3.05 last night - were trading at before the takeover bid was announced. Dorchester shares closed up 6.8 per cent at 23.5c last night.
Dorchester holds 19.85 per cent of Turners shares and Bartel Holdings, which owns 20.8 per cent of the auction firm, has agreed to accept the financial services company's offer. Bartel and Dorchester collectively own 40.65 per cent of Turners.
Dorchester chief executive Paul Byrnes said there was a "natural synergy" between its business and Turners.
"Seventy per cent of our finance lending is for motor vehicles and our insurance business has a focus on motor vehicle-related insurance products," Byrnes said.
Connor Healthcare - a firm established by Acurity's principal shareholders the Stewart family, Royston Hospital Trust Board, and Evolution Healthcare - is offering $6.50 a share for the remaining shares in the company that operates three private hospitals in Wellington and Hastings.
The offer represents a 24 per cent premium to Acurity's $5.25 closing price on Friday. Acurity shares closed up 23.5 per cent at $6.58 last night.
Harrison said the Acurity offer could be a "done deal", but Dorchester's bid for Turners appeared "a little cheap".
"We'd like to see them up the bid, but that's coming from someone who owns [the stock]," he said.
Byrnes said the effective takeover price of $3.15 a share - including the 15c special dividend - was a good outcome for Turners shareholders.
Dorchester Pacific for Turners Auctions
*Offer price $3, plus a special dividend of 15c a share.
*Friday closing price $2.75.
*Offer value $82.1m.
*Conditional only on achieving at least 50.1 per cent control required under the Takeovers Code.
*Offer value does not include special dividend.
Connor Healthcare for Acurity Health Group
*Offer price $6.50.
*Friday closing price $5.25.
*Offer value $112.2m.
*Must receive 90 per cent shareholder acceptances and Overseas Investment Office approval.

I was reading a story on USA Today's Web site the other day when an ad appearing on the right side of the page jumped out at me. It was a picture of a strange looking guy — really strange — along with the following text: "Homeowners fail to refi. Only 85,000 homeowners have taken advantage of Obama's refinance plan. Calculate new payment."
That statement is sensible enough (we've even built our own refinancng calculator), but the picture that accompanied the ad seemed utterly unrelated, and actually seems to have been photoshopped to make the guy look extra freaky. His nostrils seems enlarged, he is wearing 1980s-era dork glasses and he's got one of the most prominent rows of choppers on the Web. The thing is, I know I've seen the guy's picture before, but this was the first time I actually paid attention.
I clicked the link and was taken to LowerMyBills.com, which is owned and run by Experian. According to the site, they are a "free online service for consumers to compare low rates on monthly bills and reduce the cost of living," and they offer "savings through relationships with more than 500 service providers across multiple categories, including home loans, credit cards, auto and health insurance, and long-distance and wireless services."
OK. All of that sounds perfectly reasonable. So what's with the freaky picture? I decided to reach out to their PR people. I sent them a screengrab of the image and asked them to please explain what it was all about.
Here's the company's response courtesy of PR representative Danica Ross: "All of our advertisements are designed to cut through the noise of Internet advertising in order to reach consumers and make them aware of the opportunities they have to save money. Our advertisements are created by our internal Marketing Department. Additional information related to the development of specific advertisements is proprietary. Sorry I can't provide more detail about the specific ad you mention. Please let me know if you have any other questions."
So it sounds like they create pictures designed to attract eyeballs and it doesn't matter if those pics have nothing — absolutely nothing — to do with the stuff they are promoting. So I followed up, with one of the more inspired e-mails I've ever written to a PR person.
If you like this story, check out this post on the craziest subliminal ads of all time.

Even in the corners of the world that will not stop to see the big Champions League match — Ayr, for instance, where tonight's visitors are Brechin City — recording devices can expect heavy use. Yes, Borussia Dortmund versus Shakhtar Donetsk should be a second leg worth savouring.
Seriously, it would be if Manchester United had not been pitted against Real Madrid and then set things up for Old Trafford with a 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu.
It was a United-Real classic that sucked Roman Abramovich into football and that was to cost Sir Alex Ferguson up to three domestic titles.
Now, again, the consequences will involve Jose Mourinho.
The notion that the winners will proceed to Wembley is premature because, as Mourinho said yesterday, with his rhetorical question about finely balanced knockout football, of which the Champions League will see plenty more before it hits the North Circular Road: "What will make the difference? Nobody knows."
John Terry, with his memories of Moscow, might have put it more forcefully.
We can only offer a guess and, while penalties might well be required to settle it, my hunch is for something more aerial. Because Cristiano Ronaldo is such a magnificent header, United must try not to let Angel di Maria drift to the left, from where his crosses swing in and out, making life impossible for defenders.
And then there is the matter of set-pieces. Given that, Ronaldo apart, young Raphael Varane is such a threat when he comes up, I shall be surprised if Ferguson does not slip an extra big man such as Chris Smalling into his side — if necessary at the expense of Rafael — to compensate for David de Gea's lack of assertiveness. Then it could be Diego Lopez who suffers.

- Manchester United
- Real Madrid

We have had a very exciting weekend in our household. Jordan and I are gearing up to head back to Chicago to build her next helper arm. She had the challenge this weekend to pick out the next design for her arm. The cool thing about the type of prosthetics she uses is we can find any fabric design and a chemical turns it into the cover of her arm. Last year she found a fun Disney Princess fabric that gave her the ultimate princess helper arm. This year she picked….
Jordan's never been a crazy Hello Kitty fan, but she likes her and this pattern was just all kinds of fun. Look at all of the colors! I didn't have any say in the pick, but I'm excited with this. I think Jordan will have fun with it.. Plus, it needs to last 18 months if we can help it. I think this fun pattern will be able to keep her interest for a while.
As we were shopping for matching ribbon for her helper arm, I got an email alert from Jordan's birthday fundraiser. It told me someone donated $700 to her effort to send more kids to Camp No Limits. Seven. Hundred. Dollars!!! Jordan and I were both squealing in the parking lot of Hobby Lobby. We're honored and touched. We have now raised enough money for four kids to attend camp and only $75 away from sending a fifth.
We're so excited and Jordan wanted to do a quick video this afternoon… She also gets to reveal her newest look (that matches her new helper arm)!

An Old-Fashioned Girl HTML version
"I don't believe it. Good-night, 'sweet Mistress Milton,' as Syd called you. Sleep like an
angel, and don't dream of I forgot, no teasing allowed." And Tom took himself off with a
theatrical farewell.
"Now it 's all over and done with," thought Polly as she fell asleep after a long vigil. But it
was not, and Polly's fun cost more than the price of gloves and bonnet, for, having
nibbled at forbidden fruit, she had to pay the penalty. She only meant to have a good
time, and there was no harm in that, but unfortunately she yielded to the various small
temptations that beset pretty young girls and did more mischief to others than to herself.
Fanny's friendship grew cooler after that night. Tom kept wishing Trix was half as
satisfactory as Polly, and Mr. Sydney began to build castles that had no foundation.

Female NASCAR driver visits Teaneck High School
TEANECK - NASCAR driver Tia Norfleet has one message for the students of Teaneck High School.
"Be the best you can be," she says.
Sounds a little cliché, but for Norfleet who has broken the white, male dominated barriers of NASCAR at the young age of 24, all while maintaining a music career and becoming an entrepreneur, her words come from a simple background. She wants you to think about yourself and not care about what anyone else has to say.
Norfleet, the daughter of driver Bobby Norfleet and the first African-American female to race in NASCAR, spoke to the honor roll students of Teaneck High School on Feb. 21 as part of a pep rally that was held to celebrate the students' achievements.
She told the students to keep pushing past their fears and comfort zones to get to where they want.
"NASCAR is a very extreme sport," she cited. "It can be frightening, even fatal. You're going 90 to 100 miles per hour on a small track at up to 210 miles per hour on a speedway. The heat from everything can make you lose |10 pounds worth of water weight during the course of a race."
She said that when taking on an endeavor, it is important to learn all of its aspects, as she did with NASCAR.
"A lot of people don't know a lot about it," she said. "It's a sport but it's also a business. And in the business you can be an owner, engineer, manager. It's so technical down to a strip of tape on your car. But it's fun."
She told the students to be mindful of all their decisions even with all the knowledge they have.
"I passed up a lot of money in sponsorships because it wasn't the right fit," citing brands who |she didn't necessarily want to be associated with when it came to her image.
"It doesn't matter if you want to be a role model. You're always a role model to somebody," she said.
Norfleet said that her journey into NASCAR has been one that requires a certain level of being tough.
"It wasn't intimidating to me," she said. "People were intimidated of me. There are people who will try to discourage you and try to break you down. But I have a thick skin."
"If you really want to succeed and be successful you really have to be passionate about it," she said about being a driver in NASCAR. "You have to spend a lot of money to practice since you can't just go to the gym like with other sports. You need to pay for tires, the track, accommodations such as an ambulance when you're practicing just in case. There is so much money in this sport and it is the only sport that is so sponsor-driven. On the small level for a season in costs $6-10 million."
Norfleet is still considered a rookie and hopes to work her way up to racing in the Daytona 500 one day.
"I think the kids reacted really well to Tia," said Principal Dennis Heck at the rally. "I think she had a really strong message. She related well to the kids and this is someone who is at a pinnacle. With [Danica Patrick] holding a pole position in NASCAR, it was a relevant presentation, especially for the women in the audience to give them a different perspective."

David Cutcliffe
Bud Ford
Gary Wyant
Charlie Coffey
Byrl Logan
The club will grant Honorary Member status to former assistant football coach David Cutcliffe, current Associate Athletics Director for Media Relations Harris D. "Bud" Ford and current Executive Associate Athletics Director and former assistant football coach Gary Wyant. The club also will present Charlie Coffey and the late Byrl Logan with the Lettermen's Service Award.
Honorary membership to the "T" Club may be bestowed on an individual for outstanding achievement reflecting favorably on the University of Tennessee and specifically its men's and/or women's athletic programs. Nominees shall not have been a letterman in any sport at the University of Tennessee and should not have been previously awarded this distinction. The award is considered the club's highest honor.
Cutcliffe began his Tennessee coaching career as a part-time assistant in 1982. The Birmingham, Ala., native then coached tight ends from 1983-88, running backs in 1989 and quarterbacks from 1990-98. He added the role of passing game coordinator in 1992 before being promoted to offensive coordinator in 1993. He held that post until his departure following the 1998 SEC Championship Game, after which he became head coach at the University of Mississippi.
Ford became Tennessee's first full-time assistant sports information director upon his graduation from UT in 1966 and was promoted to sports information director in 1987 and to associate athletics director in 2000. The Knoxville native supervises a media relations staff of four full-time employees and numerous student assistants who work to promote and publicize Tennessee's athletics programs. Ford was named to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Hall of Fame in 2001.
Wyant -- a native of Wichita, Kan. -- joined the Tennessee football coaching staff as the defensive backfield coach in 1971 and held that position through the 1975 season. After enjoying additional success in other coaching and business ventures, he returned to UT in 1994 and spent five years as chief of staff for Vols head coach Phillip Fulmer and four years as Senior Associate Athletics Director before being promoted to his current post of Executive Associate Athletics Director in 2002.
The Lettermen's Service Award is for letterwinners, both from the men's and women's athletic departments, whose service to the University of Tennessee, the Athletics Department and their community has highly distinguished them.
Coffey lettered as a member of the Tennessee football team from 1953-55. The Shelbyville, Tenn., native played guard for the Vols and went on to serve as an assistant football coach at Tennessee, tutoring the defensive line from 1963-65. In 1971 he was named head football coach at Virginia Tech, and he guided the Hokies' gridiron efforts through the 1973 season.
Coffey entered the trucking business in 1975 and founded the Nationwide Express trucking company in 1981. He currently resides in Knoxville.
Logan, who passed away Sept. 5, lettered as a member of the Tennessee basketball team from 1937-39 and served as a team captain during his final season. He went on to serve as a second lieutenant in World War II, serving at one point under the command of Gen. Douglas Macarthur in the Philippines. After the war he built an impressive professional resume` and was involved in numerous philanthropic organizations.
Logan is survived by his wife, Onibe Ivens "Fritzie" Logan, two daughters and two sons.
Coffey and Logan are the 10th and 11th recipients of the Lettermen's Service Award, which was first presented in 1998.

The notion of eliminating spam by charging people to send you email is often scoffed at but, as the spam deluge worsens, the idea continues to resurface.
Microsoft founder Bill Gates is the latest proponent of the pay-per-send email system as part of his pledge to can spam within two years.
Of the three spam elimination methods Microsoft is working on, the sender-pays system is the most likely long-term solution, Gates told delegates at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last week.
"Spam will soon be a thing of the past," Gates said, with "payment at risk" - the electronic equivalent of a stamp - allowing users to set different monetary thresholds for different senders.
Using pay-per-send to protect inboxes from spam is nothing new to Sydney entrepreneur Bernard Palmer, founder of the CashRamSpam anti-spam email service.
A CashRamSpam email account costs $10 to set up, after which users can send email to anyone and receive from other CashRamSpam accounts, as well as whitelist mail from outside. Each user determines how much they will charge other CashRamSpam users to send them emails. Payment can be set as low as five cents but no payment from an unapproved sender equals no email and thus no spam.
CashRamSpam keeps 10 per cent of a user's contact fee.
The holy grail of online commerce is providing a secure, convenient and economical way of transferring small amounts of money online - known as micropayments - without risking sending your credit card details via the internet.
CashRamSpam overcomes this challenge by limiting incoming emails to other CashRamSpam users, and whitelisted outsiders exempt from paying, allowing for an internal micropayments system. Users can earn credit by reading advertising emails.
Similar US-based systems include CruelMail and Vanquish. Using CruelMail, known contacts can be exempted from the need to pay and a proxy service allows its customers to keep their original email address. As the micropayments system is open to external users, senders must use a credit card to buy "NetPostage" from the CruelMail website in order to contact CruelMail users.
After launching in March 2003, CashRamSpam has 800 users but Palmer concedes many of these are free trial accounts.
While some may scoff at the concept, Palmer is heartened by the fact the anti-spam debate keeps coming back to pay-per-send models.
"There is no doubt in my mind that at some point it will be more beneficial to people to have a paying email system, especially if that system is being funded by advertisers," he says. "The truth is people are paying right now, there is no such thing as free email. You pay your ISP, you pay your electricity bill and you pay with your time."
Previous proponents of the pay-per-send model include the founding chairman of ICANN, Esther Dyson. An IBM researcher released a research paper on the subject in 2002 and Electronic Frontier Foundation chairman Brad Templeton wrote an influential essay about charging for email in the mid 1990s but has since renounced his support for the concept. Various politicians have also raised the issue.
There is a no panacea for spam and solutions must weigh effectiveness against convenience, says Melbourne anti-spam/virus vendor MailGuard's director Andrew Johnson.
"We're constantly evaluating things like CashRamSpam and looking at some of these more draconian measures," Johnson says. "There are various levels of draconianism. You've got the Spam Arrest solution, which is a challenge/ response type scenario which is probably equally as effective as CashRamSpam but without the level of annoyance for users."

Triple Play
Featuring: Sensual Jane
Date: March 22nd, 2014
Photos: 65
"Sensual Jane is one of the sexiest women on Planet Earth. I'm always happy when SCORELAND posts a new photo set or video, but especially if it involves Jane fucking!" writes Heywood. The man gets his wish. 2013 was a big year for Jane at SCORE. Now Jane is back and this time, it's two men and one Jane. Can they handle the Sensual one, a girl with one of the most beautiful, fuckable bodies in her first SCORE threesome? Thomas arrives for his date with Jane only to find Neeo sitting on the couch at Jane's place. It looks like Jane's made a double date. Thomas tells Neeo to leave. Neeo tells Thomas to leave. Neither man will budge.
What Members are saying about this update...

I love how gorgeous Jane handles those 2 nice hard thick erections!

About "Gami's Paper Evolution Theory" by iamrobman
Gami's Paper Evolution Theory
Design by iamrobman
Origami inspired art about the parade of penguins made of paper. Hope you guys like it.:)
A line of origami inspired shirts- what a great idea. Would be neat to see the design go around the bottom of the shirt, like a border, so the steps on how to make X project border around / wrap around the bottom of the shirt. Such a neat idea though. I like that you chose a darker blue and not a light blue. Well done on the idea. Please make available in a Girly XS, V neck (with t-shirt sleeves that go to about mid/lower-upper arm). Good luck.
Another thought... the final result/ end result could start just below the belly button area and then wrap around in the above mention border in a swirl pattern to give it some dimension and effect. Just an idea.
THanks bouvarida Allo threadless to print this stuff and let them make decisions either to print it for hoodies,baby tees,man and woman sizes. Thanks a lot :)
hi ho.
◠‿◠✿
great work man!
Very nice! love it!
Thanks all :) Glad you like it.
very cute! the dotted line in the background is kind of misleading though. At first glance it looks like it goes from step 3 to 7.

Arreola-Stiverne facing another delay?
The WBC heavyweight eliminator to find a mandatory challenger for Vitali Klitschko between WBC #1 Chris Arreola and WBC #2 Bermane Stiverne looks to have run into another roadblock. The bout was originally to be promoted by Don King and take place by the end of December after DKP won a purse bid. The bout was then moved to January 26 on a Goossen Tutor card in Los Angeles headlined by Andre Ward vs. Kelly Pavlik. When Ward suffered an injury the card was pushed back to March 2. Now news that Ward-Pavlik is off (due to Ward needing shoulder surgery) could likely result in Arreola-Stiverne moving to yet another date.

Opera chills, with that Mozart dude in da house
Page Tools
The home of Britain's classiest opera parties is about to strike out in a new direction by staging "hiphopera", complete with f-words and rap music, in the country house setting of Glyndebourne.
It will be too cold for champagne picnics and there will be no need to wear black tie, but the new presentation of Cosi Fan Tutte in March will see Mozart's tale move from its 18th-century Naples setting to the car park of an inner-city London council estate.
The production will turn Guglielmo and Ferrando into two roadies getting ready for a national rap tour, with Don Alfonso as an unscrupulous promoter. Music and libretto have been transformed to fit, with a rap version of Soave sia il vento (May the wind be gentle) and argot such as "gimme five" and "wicked" instead of the original Italian.
The transformed version of Mozart's masterpiece is part of an increasingly successful attempt to draw new, and particularly young, audiences to the venue, which has a largely unfair but deep-rooted image of exclusivity and expense.
Katie Teale, the head of Glyndebourne's education department, which is running the show separately from the main season, says: "Mozart was young himself and Cosi's themes, about two young men testing their lovers' fidelity, are constant. The opera is very much about young people and things which matter to them as they find their way in the world."
The co-production with German and Finnish companies hopes to add to accessibility with tickets as low as £5 ($12) for three performances. The opera, for now entitled School4Lovers, will go on tour to Finland, Germany and the Baltic states. Glyndebourne will recruit young singers next month for a road crew who will make up the opera chorus.
Young audiences are also being targeted by a new touring opera, Tangier Tattoo, which starts with two drug dealers being gunned down outside a Moroccan cafe. The hero is an English gap-year backpacker and other characters include a tattooist who fits nipple rings.
Glyndebourne, which had a record attendance of 55,000 last year, has set a top price of £25 for tickets in the hope of "attracting and sustaining a new audience for our art form".

Roy Lichtenstein's comic book heroines look beautiful no matter what they are doing; his 1963 painting Drowning Girl (Below Left) exhibits this as well as any. The "I don't care!" aspect of the quote stands out against our girl's dramatic, tearful expression. Seeing this Andrew Archer illustration today (Below Right) made me think of the Lichtenstein, which has been a favorite of mine for years.
This Solve Sundsbo picture of Guinevere (Below) from Another Magazine S/S '09 has been around for a while; the featured Stephen Jones hat, in its transparent, fluid glory has not left my memory ever since. It actually reminds me of my beloved painting, as well. This is what fashion should be: inventive design executed to perfection, front and center.
It's inspiring to see a central theme/concept interpreted across different mediums (by masters of their respective crafts, nonetheless). I'll be wearing Jones' hat in my deepest, most resplendent dreams tonight!

Van Natta delivered a three-run homer in the second, and Kuzma belted a grand slam in the sixth.
Earlier in the week, the team traveled to Villanova for a non-conference doubleheader. The Red Foxes fell 5-2 in the first game, despite solo home runs from Van Natta and senior Haley Birnbaum (Lido Beach, N.Y.). In game two, Marist fell 5-0 as sophomore Maureen Duddy (San Mateo, Calif.), Van Natta, Kuzma, and freshman Rebecca Freeman (Robbinsville, N.J.) each notched a hit in the outing.
