Granite Bay Student Wins 2003 National Peace Essay Contest
Kevin Kiley of Granite Bay, California wins first prize in 2003 contest.
WASHINGTON—Kevin Kiley, a senior at Granite Bay High School, Granite Bay, California, won first prize in the 2002-2003 National Peace Essay Contest, sponsored by the U.S. Institute of Peace.
Kiley's essay, "Kuwait and Kosovo: The Harm Principle and Humanitarian War," was judged to be the best of more than 1,250 entries received from high school students in 50 states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, and overseas schools. Kiley was presented with his award at the National Peace Essay Contest Awards Banquet on June 25 at the conclusion of the Washington awards week organized annually by the Institute for the essay contest's state winners.
As the national winner, Kiley will a receive a $10,000 college scholarship from the U.S. Institute of Peace. The second- and third-place winners, who will receive $5,000 and $2,500 respectively, are Edward Su of the North Carolina EFC Church Youth Group in Cary, North Carolina, and Terence M. Merritt of Los Alamos High School, Los Alamos, New Mexico.
The U.S. Institute of Peace has sponsored the contest annually since 1986 in the belief that expanding the study of peace, justice, freedom and security is vital to civic education. This year, entrants were asked to write essays of 1,500 words or fewer on whether there can ever be a "just" war.
"Kevin Kiley's essay examining two very different conflicts to see how they measured against the criteria of 'just war' was the kind of beautifully written and sophisticated argument that you would be lucky to find in a graduate student essay," said Holly Burkhalter, a member of the Institute's Board of Directors and of the essay contest selection committee. "He is a credit to his school, and has a promising career ahead in the field of peace studies."
Kiley researched and wrote his essay with the guidance of Rita Pritchard, Granite Bay High School's essay contest coordinator.
Throughout high school, Kiley has been involved in Granite Bay's speech and debate program, participating in such events as the Lincoln-Douglas Debate and Extemporaneous Speaking. Kiley has competed in the California Speech Championship for three consecutive years and has attended the National Tournament twice. He has also served as both writer and editor for the high school newspaper, and has played on the varsity tennis team for four years. In the fall, Kiley will enter Harvard University, where he plans to study government.
"The challenge of making durable peace in today's violent international conflicts is one of the most complicated foreign policy problems facing the United States today," said Pamela Aall, director of the Institute's Education Program. "Through the essay contest, students not only analyze what these challenges are, but they also design policies that can help."

One of the most talked about aspects of the last two Masters tournaments has been the effect of the recent, dramatic architectural changes on the nature of the competition. Golf fans, like those of any sport with perhaps the exception of boxing, aren't generally thrilled to see their champion determined in a war of attrition, stumbling over the corpses of their competition and limping across the finish line.
So it is no surprise that with the last two Masters Sundays (and perhaps the last several years' worth of "toonaments") featuring very few birdies and heroic charges among the eventual winners, many have concluded that the Augusta National Golf Club course has been changed for the worse. I'm not sure if there's any merit to that argument, but I do know I'm pretty sick of hearing the whining. So for this week's Thrash Talk, I decided to take a few vital signs on the tournament and today's golf fan.

Over a lively euchre game the other night, we got into an even livelier conversation about Marmite and Vegemite. I find that conversations about these love-them-or-hate-them condiments are always impassioned, so I was surprised that some of my foodie friends weren't familiar with them.
Though Marmite and Vegemite are unconventional in the US, in their home countries, they are as common as peanut butter or mayonnaise. Vegemite is pretty much the national food of Australia, and Marmite is the UK's version. Most commonly spread on toast and used on sandwiches, both spreads are made with yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing. It's super-salty, high in vitamin B, and a good example of "the fifth taste" known as umami.
I was first introduced to Vegemite while working as a camp counselor with lots of Aussie co-workers, all of whom brought enough Vegemite to get them through the summer. This is apparently quite common, the joke being that Australians always pack Vegemite when they travel. To kids who grow up in Marmite and Vegemite territories, it's as essential to childhood eating as PB&Js are here — but inspires an even more fanatical devotion.
I don't remember liking Marmite very much but I'm giving the taste another try. Andrew got a tube of Vegemite from an Australian co-worker, so I'm going to take the plunge with a Vegemite sandwich. Apparently, it's often used on cheese sandwiches, though my euchre friend loves Marmite and banana sandwiches. If you have any suggestions, leave them in the comments.

Minus Romo? He played like crap too. If his receivers were not dropping the pass, his throws were wobbly ducks for the most part. Not one person on the Cowboys played a good game, starting with Garrett and Ryan.

i aint worried. sure that game pretty much sucked for muh boyz but i am thinking this "defeat" will actually be a good thing for Dallas. rather get the losses early in the season over with. lol seattle won their super bowl today. seattle played today like they were high on coke. the nfl best be testing those players in the next day or two. nope i am not really to worried about the team. Dallas is gonna be rebounding from this loss with new attitude. lol you new yorkers can relish in this defeat and your lucky win against tampa. we still own your butts this year
He had one questionable throw early that resulted in a TO and the wobbler to Witten (that Witten dropped), but that's about it that I can think of off the top of my head. He and his WRs weren't in sync, but the throws he made that did not connect made more sense to me than the routes that were run.
Different games every different week - that's what football is. Look at what happened to the Patriots this weekend.
More of the opening game too though haha.
I figured Carolina would really give them a hard time, but like the analysts said - I didn't think Carolina would actually win..
Good job by Carolina and bad job by the Saints.
Being 0-2 in that division already could be quite disastrous, especially since the NFC is so strong.
And that was against the Cardinals (who beat the Seahawks last week). So maybe we're just severely underestimating the AFCW? Who knows. In my opinion, this is what the NFL has come to 20 years into implementing a salary cap. Every team has good players, it's just about how you match up with the opponent you have that week-- hence the parity.
The great teams are able to overcome bad matchups, but there aren't many great teams in the NFL these days.

text: NEW YORK, Jan. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue: Neuromodulation Market – [Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS), Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS), Gastric Electrical Stimulation (GES), Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), Sacral Nerve Stimulation (SNS), & Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)] – Forecasts to 2017 http://www.reportlinker.com/p01083659/Neuromodulation-Market-–-[Spinal-Cord-Stimulation-SCS-Vagus-Nerve-Stimulation-VNS-Gastric-Electrical-Stimulation-GES-Deep-Brain-Stimulation-DBS-Sacral-Nerve-Stimulation-SNS--Transcranial-Magnetic-Stimulation-TMS]-–-Forecasts-to-2017 .html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=NoCategory Neuromodulation devices have emerged as one of the fastest growing segments of the medical device market due to high demand for minimally invasive and non–invasive treatment. With advancements in technology, neuromodulation is expected to become a promising therapeutic area and high growth industry in the next decade, as it offers symptomatic relief mainly from chronic pain, incontinence, heart failure, headache, depression, epilepsy, etc. The neuromodulation devices market includes deep brain stimulation, spinal cord stimulation, vagus nerve stimulation, sacral nerve stimulation and others external stimulation devices such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). The neuromodulation technique acts directly upon nerves or the target area where the activity of nerves is altered due to biological responses produced by electrical stimulation or drug infusion. These devices include small electrodes that are attached to the brain, the spinal cord, or peripheral nerves. These precisely placed leads are connected by means of an extension cable to a pulse generator to generate electrical stimulation. Neuromodulation can have applications in any area of the body and can treat several diseases like chronic pain, epilepsy, psychiatric disorder, movement disorder, cardiovascular disorder, genitourinary and colorectal disorder, stroke and brain injury, and gastric disorder. The main drivers for the neuromodulation market are the rising population of aged people and age-related diseases like Alzheimer's, epilepsy, spinal cord injury, and Parkinson's disease. According to the International Neuromodulation Society, about 40 million to 50 million patients worldwide suffer from epilepsy, and 1.5 million people currently (2012) suffer from Parkinson disease in the U.S. The large pool of patients that suffer from depression, stroke, anxiety disorders, lower back pain, urinary incontinence, and tremor offers the neuromodulation industry opportunities to grow in the next five years. The market for treatment of tinnitus, in particular, represents an emerging application of neuromodulation. According to the American Tinnitus Association, about 50 million people currently (2012) suffer from this disease in the U.S.

Drawing inspiration from Pinterest and Sissie from Sissie's Shabby Cottage, I made my first ever rag-tie banner last night.
I used a bunch of leftover fabric pieces that were taking up space in my craft room. You know what they say about lemons and lemonade!
I love the shabby look. Makes me long for spring though. Sigh!
I just kind of looped and pulled each piece of fabric onto some twine. I think there are about 50 pieces of fabric on there. Yes, very time-consuming but so pretty. I think it might actually work for some of my upcoming Valentine's Day decorations.
Sharing my love of all things shabby, thrifty, crafty and cheap! Formerly known as One Cheap B*tch.

Broken bones lie ahead for premature babies because their doctors can't give them the drugs they need, a leading Texas physician says.
A record shortage of prescription medications threatens patients with complications and even death if they receive a less-effective alternative medication or the wrong dosage of a substitute drug, or have to go without the drug altogether.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) listed 246 drugs in short supply as of June, according to a story in the October issue of Texas Medicine magazine, published by the Texas Medical Association (TMA). Some of these are anesthesia medicines, treatment for severe allergic reactions, and diuretics (calcium gluconate, neostigmine, propofol, epinephrine, furosemide, several sterile injectables, and antibiotics, to name a few).
TMA physicians are concerned about the impact the shortage can have on patient safety. Michael Speer, MD, TMA's president-elect, says drug shortages frustrate physicians because "the best medication for the patient's condition is no longer available," forcing physicians to substitute drugs that may not be in the patient's best interest. But sometimes it's that or nothing.
For example, Dr. Speer, a neonatologist, describes his fragile newborn patients at Houston's Texas Children's Hospital. They need proper nutrients to survive and grow. One of the drugs on the shortage list, calcium gluconate, provides valuable minerals those newborns in neonatal intensive care need.
"Right now we don't have drugs that allow us to provide babies with nutrition through an IV. Because of the shortage, babies, particularly the smaller, more vulnerable ones, are at increased risk of fractures," Dr. Speer, who also is a faculty member in the neonatology section of Baylor College of Medicine, told Texas Medicine.
Houston's hospital district reported more than 75 drugs were in short supply or on backorder this summer.
Why do shortages occur? The FDA, physicians, and others say there could be several causes:
Physicians often get little warning about what drugs are available. Dr. Speer says, "It would be helpful if FDA could give physicians, pharmacists, and health care facilities advanced warning of impending drug shortages."
Remedies are few. The FDA can't force a manufacturer to produce a drug or impose a penalty if a manufacturer doesn't notify the agency of a discontinuation. Law does not require manufacturers to report that they're discontinuing a drug unless they are the sole manufacturers of a drug that is life-supporting, life-sustaining, or intended for use in the prevention of a debilitating disease or condition.
The FDA may encourage drug makers to increase supply, or expedite the review of new manufacturers wanting to make a drug. In rare cases, the FDA can temporarily import drugs from other countries, especially if the drugs are approved in other countries and comparable to the product used in the United States.
TMA is working to alleviate the problem. The association created new policy to work with the American Medical Association (AMA) and the federal government to closely monitor for potential drug shortages, and alert physicians sooner — and suggest alternatives.
"It's incumbent on the FDA and the government to [understand] that physicians and patients are vulnerable to shortages and the decisions of pharmaceutical companies. Physicians need to have some advance warning shortages are coming to give us enough time to look at alternative medications," says TMA Foundation President Russell Kridel, MD, FACS, a member of an AMA committee working to mitigate the problem.
TMA is the largest state medical society in the nation, representing more than 45,000 physician and medical student members. It is located in Austin and has 120 component county medical societies around the state. TMA's key objective since 1853 is to improve the health of all Texans.

Psystar Declares Bankruptcy.

If your backers don't want to be revealed they take their money away.

Think as part of the process they HAVE to name the investors. June 5th is the date!
Let's see, if they reveal their investors then they admit the lied to the judge when they said they didn't keep financial records. If they don't reveal their investors then I believe they would be admitting that they are violating all sorts of other laws; tax, bankruptcy, etc. dealing with corporate record keeping and reporting.
These guys have screwed themselves to the wall.

If they don't reveal their investors then I believe they would be admitting that they are violating all sorts of other laws; tax, bankruptcy, etc. dealing with corporate record keeping and reporting.
These guys have screwed themselves to the wall.
I know very little about bankruptcy law, and laws vary from state to state. But in the two states I am familiar with private companies are not required to report or reveal who their owners are or their income statement and balance sheet. They are required to keep a list of investors and the financial records necessary to file tax returns. Neither of these are public records, though they may be subject to disclosure in a lawsuit, particularly if no other financial records exist.
I infer that Psystar is claiming they have no such records at all. While the penalty for not keeping records is probably very modest, I suspect that the trial judge is getting very impatient with Pystar and its counsel. Even if they are not lying outright, it is very likely that they are not cooperating and are not observing the court rules for discovery. I am not familiar with California court rules, but in federal court there is something called rule 11 which allows a judge to sanction attorneys who make arguments not supported by evidence. Lying about the existence of financial records seems to fit that description.
Lee Dronick
- [ Ignore ]
The Apple case against them is here in California, the bankruptcy is in Florida. That make the situation more complicated.
"Works of art, in my opinion, are the only objects in the material universe to possess internal order, and that is why, though I don't believe that only art matters, I do believe in Art for Art's sake." E. M. Forster
Once a person or company files a petition under the bankruptcy code, that person or company has invoked the jurisdiction of the federal bankruptcy courts, which are a division of federal district court where they are located. The law, the Bankruptcy Code and the Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, is the same for all federal bankruptcy courts.
Unfortunately for Psystar and any investor that is trying to remain hidden, unless there is a basis for a protective order—and quite frankly, I don't see any such basis—Psystar's financial backers must be listed publicly on Psystar's schedule of creditors. Even without being revealed as required by the Bankruptcy Code and Rules, Apple would almost certainly ultimately discover any of Psystar's backers through the procedures of civil discovery. People lie in deposition, fail to produce documents, lie in response to interrogatories, and lie at debtor examinations, and it could be that investors would simply walk away from their rights as creditors by declining to be listed on Psystar's schedules, but given the talent and resources of Apple's lawyers, I would advise that neither Psystar's principals or its investors attempt such deceptions, for the consequences are possible felony convictions for obstruction of justice and/or perjury.
That Psystar has filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a complicating factor, but Psystar does not have a free pass, because of its bankruptcy, to continue to infringe on Apple's copyright in OS X. Apple is entitled to enforce its copyright and its EULA, unless Psystar can prevail in the case. Thus, the bankruptcy judge must either partially lift the automatic stay to allow Apple's case against Psystar to proceed, or he must, in effect, take over the copyright case by conducting an adversary proceeding in the bankruptcy court, where Apple and Psystar will continue to litigate the same legal and factual issue but do so in the bankruptcy court. Frankly, I think this last option is unlikely, as most bankruptcy judges would be reluctant to adjudicate a major copyright case in the bankruptcy court and because the bankruptcy court is not experienced in and is not best equipped to adjudicate a complex intellectual property case. The bankruptcy judge would also have to master the entire case file, which Judge Alsup has already mastered and on which he, Alsup, has already made several dispositive rulings. So I think that the bankruptcy judge will return the Apple and Psystar's copyright disputed to Judge Alsup, after Apple moves for relief from stay and at a procedurally convenient moment.

Barbecued mackerel with beetroot and apple salad from Nathan Outlaw, author of BRITISH SEAFOOD by NATHAN OUTLAW (£25, Quadrille)
Early beetroot appear as the first mackerel of the year are caught, so it makes sense to serve them together. The charred skin and moist, rich mackerel flesh marry perfectly with beetroot – and apple brings a crisp, sharp taste to cut the richness. When barbecuing fish make sure your coals are at the white hot stage and oil your fish before placing it on the hot grid, but not too much or your fish will be engulfed in flames and burn.
Serves 4
4 large or 8 small mackerel, gutted
light rapeseed oil for cooking
Cornish sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Beetroot and apple salad
4 raw beetroot, washed and peeled
4 Granny Smith apples
50ml white wine vinegar
2 shallots, peeled and finely sliced
3 pickled walnuts, chopped (optional)
2 tsp chopped chives
4 tbsp mayonnaise
(page 225)
To serve
1 lemon, cut into wedges
1 large baguette, sliced
To make the beetroot and apple salad, slice the beetroot across into fine slices, then cut across the slices to give you julienne (matchsticks). Peel
and core the apples and similarly cut into julienne. Toss the apples and beetroot in a bowl with the wine vinegar, shallots, pickled walnuts if using, and chives. Add the mayonnaise and mix well. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as required.
Light your barbecue well in advance and make sure the grid is very hot. Wash the mackerel and pat dry with kitchen paper. Oil the fish and season all over with salt and pepper. Place the fish on the barbecue grid and cook, without moving, for 5 minutes. Now turn the fish over. (If it has stuck then leave it for another minute before turning.) Barbecue for 4 minutes on the other side until the flesh inside the cavity is opaque all the way through.
Carefully lift the fish from the barbecue onto plates. Serve straight away,
with the beetroot and apple salad and lemon wedges. Accompany with plenty of bread for mopping up the juices.Reuse content

Full disclosure first: DJ Slim has gotten me stoned on numerous occasions. The most recent time was at his crib, which is only about one mile - or a half-hour, if you're driving after a session with his bubbler - away from my apartment. Just thought I would get that out of the way.
For those who don't know, Slim first gained quasi-fame in the Bean and elsewhere with his epic "Pussy Licker" song and video (if you've never seen it, take a few moments right now, unless you're at work).
As far as young dudes go, Seek is a relative veteran on this Boston rap scene. As one-half of RADIx (with Quite Nyce), he's been shuffling between here and the rest of America for half-a-decade with boxfuls of mixtapes under each arm. His hustle has paid off; Seek hasn't had a job outside of hip-hop for years, and, while RADIx has always been a tangential group in Beantown, they've become a constant force on the underground and college circuits.
The folks at Bassic have done it again, bringing yet another top-rung dubstep artist to their basement digs at Good Life. This month they've snagged APPLEBLIM (a/k/a Laurie Osborne), who runs the lovely techno/dubstep fusion label Apple Pips and is a founder of the legendary Skull Disco imprint. Although he made his name as a producer, Osborne has recently been much in demand as a DJ.
I'm still not sure which to feel worse about: that Simon Fuller had the two whitest singers on TV sing black-power classics in the American Idol finale, or that Annie's "Bubblegum" made a cameo in Glee. Let's start with the former.
Fuller's song choice for the final Idols came off as the worst kind of condescension -- one of those over-obvious, overly-symbolic gestures that entertainment moguls love to embrace, even if the net result is to desecrate that which ought to have been elevated.

The Steamy Bohemians, photo by Neil Reynolds (view full gallery)
The Steamy Bohemians
had lied to us; I was dead certain of it. No way could there be an
actual "old Appalachian folk song" that includes the lyrics "Every time
the baby cries/Stick my finger in the baby's eyes" and "Every time he
starts to grin/Give my baby a bottle of gin.

Early on during last Saturday's Frank Black Tribute Night at P.A.'s Lounge (thrown in honor the nearby Nave Gallery's fifth anniversary), someone in the audience yelled, "More bass!" But he was wrong. The former Pixies frontman's legacy is what he did for the electric guitar's high end: fractured rock music that sounds like steel skeletons.
Just in case you missed it this morning, we were one of the guest "music snobs" who took turns making fun of the new Green Day concept-album this morning on WFNX, alongside the Pill's Michael Marrotta (who had a busier weekend than us) and WFNX's Keith Dakin.
PASSION PIT | May 15 at the Pill @ Great Scott, Allston
The first we ever heard of PASSION PIT was from Brenda O'Keefe, then Great Scott's in-house publicist, who ran around telling anyone who would listen that she'd just heard the greatest new band in the universe. So perhaps no surprise that Great Scott eventually became, as much as anywhere, Passion Pit's home base -- or that GS was the place the band chose to grace with the obligatory semi-secret hometown show before heading out on the road to become big stars. The Pill host (and Herald columnist) Michael Marrotta made like they were the opening band on a Tuesday, but even an actual opening-band-on-Tuesday mistake (um . . . someone forgot to plug in the bass?) couldn't mask some geniune holy-shit anticipation -- how un-Allston-hipster-like is that?
AFTER THE JUMP: lots more video from Friday night's show.
Our friends at WFNX just peed a little in excitement over this one: Weezer does radio staple "Kids" live at some T-Mobile-sponsored show, followed by a bit of Lady Gaga's "Pokerface."
Via P4K.
We'll have more on last night's Animal Collective performance at the HoBo coming soon, but to tide you over, please enjoy this extended version of "Guy's Eyes" from Merriweather Post Pavilion.
According to their Twitter account, PASSION PIT will be playing Great Scott tomorrow night, returning to their old stomping grounds, The Pill, before they start touring behind their ultra-hyped debut Manners (out Tuesday), which you can now hear in its entirety on MySpace. Line starts . . .now?
We assume folks are web-ripping this as we speak, but for the time being the only place you can hear the highly anticipated Danger Mouse/Sparklehorse/David Lynch all-star collabo Dark Night of the Soul is at NPR. Supposedly this thing is coming out in a limited edition of 5000,
packaged with a hardback book of Lynch's photography.

Outstanding 4.6 /5 from 209 reviews
Great location and cool suite
Highly recommend this hotel! We arrived in Madrid around 9:00am and the staff was so friendly and accommodating. They expedited our check-in and got us into a room early. They brought toys and DVDs which impressed both us and the kids. In addition to the wonderful staff, the apartment was spacious and centrally located with a washing machine!
The hotel is very well situated -- close to Gran Via metro, close to Puerta del Sol, easy walk to Plaza Mayor, lots of shops and restaurants. We were there over New Years Eve so it was very noisy. The rooms are nice -- as others have noted, there is a double and a single in one room and then a small kitchen, so there is no where to sit but on the beds. The bathroom was a decent size. The kitchen is very well equipped. Staff is helpful
I had a great stay,the apartment was large, clean, safe and in a great location! I would stay there again. Its a great price for an amazing place. I was very surprised when i walked in the decor is nice and the place was very large.
Close to shopping and Peurta Del Sol metro hub. Good for shopping, local restaurants and Mercardos for eating out. Efficient reception and good internet. Everything you need.

By now you should know the story: Gangsta rapper has enough of hip-hop, heads to Jamaica, converts to Rastafarianism and is "reborn" as a reggae singer. The problem with Reincarnated - Snoop Dogg's 12th studio album but the first under his new moniker, Snoop Lion, isn't with his ambition. Twenty-odd years as one of the world's most successful hip-hop stars has to get boring at some stage. And there are no issues with the album's production - Major Lazer's dubby, bass-driven blueprints give Reincarnated as a slick, summery vibe perfect for beaches and barbecues. He even has the songs: the horn stabs of Lighters Up and Boulevard's rugged Jamaican holler sound like the real deal, and with Miley Cyrus' awkward appearance on Ashtrays and Heartbreaks, it might be the first Snoop album your teenage daughter can listen to. But there's an authenticity problem here: Snoop's been rapping about drugs, violence and crime for nearly 20 years and his hazy, weed-infused flow is so iconic, it's hard to take him seriously when he croons "Me don't want to see no more innocent blood shed" on anti-violence anthem No Guns Allowed. Snoop's heart might be in the right place, but one album can't replace 20 years of bad behaviour.
Stars: 2/5
Verdict: Rapper's reggae rebirth raises eyebrows

Kim, Barkley and Woods Named USC Student-Athletes of the Week
Oct. 22, 2012
Oct. 22 Week in Review/Preview
LOS ANGELES - Kyung Kim of the women's golf team and Matt Barkley and Robert Woods of the football team were named USC Student-Athletes of the Week today (Oct. 22) for the week of Oct. 15-21.
Women's Golf: Freshman Kyung Kim followed her second-round 66 with a final-round 68 to win her first collegiate title while leading No. 3 USC to a four-stroke team win at the Stanford (Calif.) Intercollegiate on Sunday (Oct. 21). Kim claimed the solo lead with a score of 5-under on Saturday and maintained her momentum on Sunday with a 3-under round to finish 7-under 206 (72-66-68), three better than the second place finisher. She was 1-under on the front 9 and 2-under on the back with five birdies on the day. Kim led the team to a combined 5-over 857 (286-285-286) at Stanford on the weekend.
Football: Both senior quarterback Matt Barkley and junior wide receiver Robert Woods had record-setting performances last Saturday (Oct. 20), as the Trojans defeated Colorado, 50-6. Barkley threw a USC single game record-tying six touchdown passes, including a school record-tying five in the first half, to become the Pac-12's career TD pass recordholder (102, breaking Matt Leinart's mark of 99). He also completed 95.0% of his passes (19-of-20, with a drop on the incompletion) to set the Pac-12 game mark for highest completion percentage (minimum of 20 attempts), just .8% shy of the NCAA record. His passing efficiency rating of 319.2 also broke the Pac-12 game standard. He finished the game with 298 yards overall. Woods, midway through his junior season, set the USC career receptions record (220, breaking Dwayne Jarrett's mark of 216) and the school single game TD catch record (four, tying the Pac-12 record). He finished with eight receptions for 132 yards.

"Whilst media and political attention continues to be heavily focused on corporation tax, companies bear and collect a much wider range of taxes. These are becoming increasingly important as a result of policies implemented by successive governments, and their public profile is increasing."
The Total Tax Contribution (TTC) survey has been carried out every year since 2005 and helps to provide robust data to inform the debate over how much tax large corporates pay in the UK.
The interest in tax paid by multinational corporations has intensified over the last twelve months and is likely to continue.
So perhaps it's no surprise that a record number of companies participated in the 2013 Total Tax Contribution and the Wider Economic Impact survey for the 100 Group with 101 companies providing data.
In 2013, for the first time, we have also received robust data on the wider contribution made by the 100 Group membership to the UK economy.
In an environment where the Government is seeking to make the UK "open for business" with a globally competitive corporation tax rate, it is important to understand the wider contribution from employment, capital investment and research and development.

A post-mortem will be carried out on a pedestrian who died in a hit-and-run near to Buckingham Palace.
The 22-year-old woman was struck by two cars, one of which fled the scene at The Mall.
She pronounced dead shortly after the collision at 2.20am on Friday morning.
The victim has now been identified and a post mortem is expected to begin today at Greenwich Mortuary.
The driver of a blue Mercedes e-Class, the second car to hit her, drove off from the incident.
But police later traced the vehicle to an address in Hendon, north London, and arrested a man on suspicion of causing death by careless driving and failing to stop.
The 42-year-old was later released on bail.
Police said the driver of a black Mercedes e-Class, which hit the woman first, stopped at the scene.
There does not appear to be a link between the two cars, police added.
Officers from the Road Death Investigation Unit are investigating.

Arkansas resident hunting licenses are valid on Mississippi land that lies west of the main channel of the Mississippi River. Mississippi resident hunting licenses are valid on Arkansas lands that lie east of the main channel. Resident license holders of either state may hunt migratory waterfowl on flowing waters of the Mississippi River, on waters accessible by boat from the main channel of the Mississippi River or on state-line lakes when the season is open in both states. The St. Francis, White and Arkansas rivers and their oxbows are excluded from this agreement. Floodwater is not included in this agreement. Hunters must obey the regulations of the state where they're hunting.
Tennessee and Arkansas recognize hunting licenses of both states on the flowing waters of the Mississippi River, adjacent waters which are accessible by boat from the river proper and the old river chutes that form a common boundary. Migratory waterfowl may be hunted on these waters by a license holder of either state when the season is open in both states. Hunters may not hunt from, nor attach any device or equipment to, land under the jurisdiction of the state in which they are not licensed. Hunters must obey regulations of the state that issues the license. Wildlife management areas established by either state and the Wolf, Loosahatchie, Hatchie, Forked Deer and Obion rivers are excluded from this reciprocal agreement
Hunters 16 or older are required to carry proof of Arkansas Harvest Information Program (HIP) registration when hunting ducks, geese, doves, coots, woodcocks, snipe, rails, gallinules or moorhens. HIP registration is free and available through any license purchasing option. Click here to purchase a license and get HIP.
Hunters born after 1968 must carry a valid hunter education card, unless 'HE-VERIFIED' is noted on their hunting license. Hunters under 16 do not need to have a card if they are under the direct supervision of a holder of a valid hunting license at least 21 years old.

In addition to using the random number generators for simulations, I rely
on them to generate group assignments for randomized studies. That
requires that my random number sequence be both reproducible for
documentation purposes, and also unpredictable by the study staff, even if
they have Stata (which they often do).
So I avoid using predictable things like the current date or somebody's
birthday. My practice has been, when writing the -set seed- command, to
take out my wallet, pull out the currency note at the front and use its
serial number (stripping out any letters) as the seed.

Will Senator Williams recuse himself from Marcellus related votes?
Fun fact, everyone, I don't work for any non-profit at all any more. I am no longer a professional Organizer. My career in that vein has ended. That's not to say that I don't still care a ton about the issues. Especially the issue of the environment. Ironically, in fact, I found I did the worst job on the issue I cared the most about. Strange, but that's a post for another time.
The reason I am writing today is because I wanted to put an exchange I had with Senator Anthony Williams of West Philadelphia onto the record. First, because it should be instructive for other politicians on how not to use Twitter, and also because it raises an important public policy question: should politicians recuse themselves from voting on issues that their households have a vested interest in?
It started with this story in The Inquirer. From the short piece:
The Marcellus Shale Coalition, the natural gas industry trade group, is expanding its presence in Southeastern Pennsylvania by hiring Shari Williams, a former communications specialist at the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission and the wife of State Sen. Anthony H. Williams (D., Philadelphia).
If you're not familiar, The Marcellus Shale Coalition is a lobbying group that would have you believe that natural gas drilling is so clean and pure that loading the ground full of hydrochloric acid actually improves soil quality. Like... potatoes come out with vitamin C and manganese after one of their shale rigs gets done with a site.
Notably, Sen. Williams was one of two noteworthy Senate D's to cast the wrong vote on the only significant piece of legislation that has passed on the Marcellus Shale so far. Now known as Act 13.
So then when the news came out that his wife is now working for Team Pollution, my hackles were raised. It's not hard to imagine that the Senator had some idea that this relationship might be consummated even as the vote was going down. Shady. Or maybe he didn't. There had to be some reason why he and Hughes backed this legislation when every other Democrat stood against it, though. The crummiest part is that I don't think they even needed their votes to get it passed.
So I sent him the following tweet last Friday:
@sentonywilliams So I presume you'll be recusing yourself from #fracking related votes now, right? bit.ly/RntupW
— Brady Dale(@BradyDale) September 14, 2012
For the full exchange that followed, hit read more.
Note to politicians: the right move when a citizen uses Twitter to call you out on something where you are obviously in the wrong is to completely ignore it. He did not, however. Yesterday, he sent me this.
Pretty dumb. Did I know about his environmental record? Umm, yeah. I am willing to bet I know more about it than he does, in fact. Whatever. I had a few responses for him. First:
@sentonywilliams way to get defensive. Good move.
— Brady Dale(@BradyDale) September 18, 2012
The funny thing about this one was he Favorited it. I am guessing this was an accident and he had just meant to hit reply. Still, I giggled.
@sentonywilliams and I have been. You were the last SE PA Senator - in all 5 counties - to sign on to The Safer Drinking Water Act.
— Brady Dale(@BradyDale) September 18, 2012
And I also said this:
@sentonywilliams I also know that you lobbied House D's to support Act 13. Legislation that environmentalists roundly hate.
— Brady Dale(@BradyDale) September 18, 2012
I wrote that out of anger, I confess. It is a rumor I heard back when I was still in a position to hear things about the goings on in Harrisburg. Now I'm just another nobody. If there are any reporters reading this, maybe go ask some Green Dog D's in the House to corroborate. Maybe he didn't, but he did vote for Act 13. No one can argue that. And that really makes me furious.
He didn't like it. I got this back:
Do you know me? Umm, we've met. In fact, I've organized events you've spoken at. Mostly, though, I have known members of your staff, and I have known members of your staff, continuously, for the last seven years.
And then he said:
Nice use of "NOT!" Senator. Takes me back to 1987.
And, how would I know? Because it was me that organized several dozen people to call into your office and ask you to sign onto it. It was also me that schlepped all the way down to your Southwest Philadelphia office with two constituents to meet with your staff and get you to sign onto it.
So yes. I know when you did it and I know why. I got you to do it. Here's the legislation in question. I burnt a lot of time on this bill, once upon a time.
The trouble with legislative records in Pennsylvania is that the only co-sponsors you can see on The General Assembly site are the ones who co-sponsor when the legislation is submitted. It's pretty normal for co-sponsors to come on board later. By the time Sen. Williams came on board the Safer Drinking Water Act, we already had every Republican in the five county area (except Pileggi, but he has his douchey Majority Leader status to fall back on).
It was silly of him to suggest I was lying, though, because all he has to do is check his own records to find out I was right.
And I'm right.
Believe me.
And all accusing me of lying does is show that he's defensive, and when you're defensive it usually indicates you know you are in the wrong. And when your wife works for an industry, you are totally in the wrong if you think it's not a fair question to ask whether or not you should recuse yourself from votes on that industry.
And don't worry. I had not lost track of this.
@sentonywilliams So, are you going to recuse yourself from fracking votes?
— Brady Dale(@BradyDale) September 18, 2012
No answer yet.
I left a few tweets out of this exchange for the sake of brevity, but they are all still up on my feed. Have a look. And here's the Senator's, tho I wouldn't be surprised if some of these disappear into the ether.
Do you think the Senator should have to recuse himself from Marcellus related votes? I honestly have a hard time believing that Senate ethics rules don't require him to, but maybe they don't. Either way, he still hasn't answered the question. He could win some major credibility points for himself if he volunteered to recuse himself. After all, odds are that the current Senate leadership won't let any more natural gas drilling legislation get to the floor anyway. If it does, though, anyone who's wife works for the organization working desperately either to move or oppose every bill related to drilling definitely should not get a vote on those bills.
Brady Dale is the artist and writer behind the webcomic Eat The Babies! and author of the novella collection, Dream Her Back.
It's a start
In the last hour, the Senator has restarted our conversation. With this tweet, though, I have to tip my hat to him. As long as he follows through with it, it's close enough.
@bradydale @donlafferty As a member of the body, I'll ask for a ruling from the Chairman if/when such matters arise. #fulldisclosure

A new submersible with a starting price of $2.46 million promises to bring the ocean closer than ever without sacrificing any of the comforts of home.
Dutch personal submersible specialists U-Boat Worx announced their five-passenger C-Explorer 5 way back in 2010, but just started production. They're in the process of building two, and plan to build three to five a year. It's their most comfortable submersible yet, designed for use by individuals and tour operators alike.
"The sub is silent, extremely stable and with the air conditioning you can even control the temperature," said Erik Hasselman, sales and marketing manager for U-Boat Worx.
Options include a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) for exploring beyond the submersible's reach, a remote-control manipulator arm, sonar, underwater GPS and LED lighting. Inside, there's the option for an iPod dock and Bose audio system so you can play "Under the Sea" on repeat while you cruise around coral reefs.
Perhaps the best feature, however, is the view. Unlike lesser submersibles, which are usually made of thick steel with only a tiny porthole or two, the C-Explorer 5 has an acrylic hull that allows for 360-degree viewing – and no blind spots where sharks can hide. Depending on the thickness of the hull, the crafts are rated for either 100, 200 or 300 meter dives.
The submersible can run off a range of electric motor and battery combinations, the most powerful of which is a 42 kWh lithium-ion battery combined with two pairs of 5 kW electric motors for vertical and horizontal propulsion. Top speed on the surface is four knots, while the top speed below the surface is three knots. Hasselman said such a power plant is "ridiculous for such a small sub," but important for powering all accessories. Depending on the configuration you choose, you can have up to 16 hours of underwater fun without recharging.
Additionally, the C-Explorer 5 is said to be more maneuverable than similar boats, thanks to a design that uses inflatable diving tanks that collapse when the craft is underwater. "We are more streamlined and carry no water that adds to the mass of the sub," Hasselman said.
If you're not an insanely wealthy playboy with a love for the ocean, you may still have a chance to check one out. Hasselman said that he's hoping to sell the C-Explorer 5 to high-end resorts near famous diving zones.

ORNELAS, Sandra L.; XAVIER, César C. and COLOSIMO, Enrico A.. Growth of small for gestational age preterm infants. J. Pediatr. (Rio J.) [online]. 2002, vol.78, n.3, pp.230-236. ISSN 0021-7557. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0021-75572002000300012.
Objective: To describe the linear growth and growth velocity of preterm infants born small for gestational age according to variables such as weight, length and head circumference, from birth to three months of corrected age. Methods: Prospective study of one hundred preterm infants born small for gestational age from 28 to 36 weeks after birth and classified as small according to the weight for their gestational age. The anthropometric data was obtained at birth, and continued to be measured weekly until the probable delivery date and monthly until three months of corrected age. Growth curves were calculated according to the mean values adjusted by the polynomial function of Count model. Results: The infants growth curves for the three variables were much below the ones of the preterm infants with adequate size for gestational age until the fortieth week. However, the head circumference growth reached the 10th percentile curve of the NCHS at the fortieth week, and the 25th percentile at three months of corrected age. The weight growth curve reached the 10th percentile curve around one month and a half for males and two months and a half for females. The length growth curve reached the 10th percentile for males at three months of corrected age and it almost reached that percentile for females after the same period of time. Conclusions: A tendency of recovering weight and length related to preterm infants with adequate size and term newborns was observed. The head circumference showed an obvious and early recovery.
Keywords : Growth; premature; small for gestational age.

Doctor. Teacher. Actress. Nun (note: I went to Catholic school and it was a short-lived thought). Lawyer. Pharmacist (my parent's dream). All of those above mentioned careers are respectable (or at least a calling: see nun) and span the list of future jobs I considered during my early years, say the kindergarten to 3rd grade time period. I just assumed after college this plan would be laid out and I'd work until I got married and had children. Or a dog. As I got older, my ambitions changed and I wanted to be a journalist or actress and live in LA or DC. In college, I fell in love with politics and planned to work on campaigns in some capacity. Then I moved to Myrtle Beach for what was ostensibly "just the the summer" and stayed for two years. Funny how plans change. And moving back I found a new career path-recruiting and HR which I do love. I also still wrote on the side, would volunteer on campaigns and still dream about what I would do one day as a grown up. That was ok at 25 maybe. At 30? Probably not. But I ask, am I the only one? And from what I can tell, I'm not. The quarter-life crisis is talked about more frequently, made popular by a hit book and Oprah appearance. However, the 1/3 year life crisis isn't discussed as much but remains ever present. And, I'm here to tell you: it's ok. It's more than ok, it's to be expected. Here's why:
1. The economy. Career specialists theorize people will have 4 or 5 career changes in their lifetime now. Certain occupations may be excluded from this but many are not. Jobs are limited, certain areas in the country recovered faster and more specific degrees are needed for this market.
2. Technology. Everything is literally a Google search away. Whatever it is, you can find it online. Everything from medicine to dating has been taken to the grid. We have more options than ever for everything. How is that not confusing?
3. Marriage. People are getting married later. People are also getting divorced younger and starting over. It's not our parent's world anymore. Women are earning more than ever and are more educated than men in some cities. This creates weird dating dynamics. And people get married now because they want to. It's no longer a necessity or a business transaction. Plus, with online dating and Google (see technology) dating is no longer your typical courtship.
Now, there are a myriad of other reasons as to why at 30 we feel unsettled and well, not grown up. I'll be the first to admit that I like myself more at this age, I'm more confident and I have a much better perspective on what matters than I did at 25 or 20. However, I still wake up in the morning not knowing what I want to do when I grow up. Maybe that's what keeps us motivated, finding the answers and pinpointing our passions. And while our technology driven modern society creates some of these issues, it also is the reason why we can still can dream at any age and pursue our passions. Maybe it isn't such a crisis after all. Maybe we won't have a boss we want to staple things to all the time. I'll keep dreaming.

Police want to speak to a mystery water meter reader who visited an Auckland gun shop the day 25 firearms were stolen.
On the night of July 2, thieves jimmied open a door at Gun City, Mt Roskill, and snatched an array of high-powered weapons including shotguns, bolt action rifles with silencers and scopes as well as semi-automatic weapons.
Detective Sergeant Mike Williams said police wanted to know the identity of a man purporting to be a water meter reader who visited the store earlier that day.
He did not present any identification and no one from Watercare had been assigned to read the meter.
There was no CCTV in the shop so the only description police had of the man was from a staff member's recollection.
"With no CCTV footage in the store or nearby it's difficult for us to establish who was responsible," Mr Williams said.
The man was described as European in his 60s, about 188cm tall, of medium to solid build with short grey hair and glasses, wearing a blue polar fleece top.
Mr Williams said there must have been more than one person involved in the robbery.
"One person couldn't carry 25 firearms," he said.
"The alarm was activated but they got in and out quicker than the response time of the security company obviously."
Police did not know why such a large quantity of firearms was taken, but whatever the reason, it was very concerning.
"Who knows what motive they have for stealing firearms. It's obviously not for hunting, I can tell you that much, but that's about it," Mr Williams said.
"We're living in an age where, unfortunately, criminals are arming themselves with weapons and firearms more regularly than they used to, so it's always concerning."
Investigators have previously said it appeared the offender knew what they were looking for.
They expressed concerned that security around the Carr Rd shop was not as robust as it could have been.
Anyone with information about the man was urged to contact Mr Williams on (09) 213 8495.

Kirk Gibson's Bobblehead Giveaway Should Have Been Thought Through More
The Los Angeles Dodgers have decided to make a bobblehead to commemorate Kirk Gibson's efforts with the Dodgers and his never quit attitude.
Now what's interesting with this bobblehead is that is actually a bobble arm mimicking his now famous trot around the bases after his walk off homer during the 1988 World Series.
Seems like a good idea and a cool thing to get, but look closely at the video promoting the giveaway.
Maybe they should have thought this one through a little more. That being said I still really want one.

I work at NCMF Internal Med. I have a 4 door Jeep Wrangler silver soft top. My friend I work with has a 2 door Jeep Wrangler soft top. I didnt see her Jeep in the morning Thurs and nobody could find her. Finally got a call and found out it was her house that caught on fire from grease and her 3 dogs died in Canton. She got 2nd & 3rd degree burns trying to save them. Her and her husband were renting and nothing is left inside thats salvageable. We are going to try and raise money. Any ideas we could do to help?
If you are a member of a Jeep club or know of one near you, you could do a poker run. We have done this in the past with the group I ride with in southern Oh. If you don't belong to or know of a group, maybe you could organize something here. We usually go $15 per Jeep + $5 for passengers. Good luck. My thoughts and prayers go out to your co-worker.

Easily one of the most reasonable mechanics around. Great service and reliable. An expert in Massachusetts inspections. Always got my much older vehicle up to spec for a very reasonable price and I shopped around.

The Good Samaritan
Dear Editor:
On Wednesday, May 4, 2011, my four-year-old autistic son wandered from home towards the beach. Upon discovering he was missing, my husband ran towards the beach praying that the worst had not happened as I stayed with my two other children. Fortunately, a Good Samaritan saw our child wandering, pulled over, and tried to help him find us.
Seeing the child respond "Daddy!" to my husband's scream for his son, she returned him safely into the arm of his father. We wish more people were aware of the unfortunate tendency for autistic (and other) children to wander off and knew how to react the same as she did.
Typical of the Rockaway

Typical of the Rockaway community. I always said that if you have to lose a child, the best place in the world is The Rockaways, because somebody will make sure that child is well taken care of and returned to its parents safely. WNF
