You played so much in the post in high school - how's the adjustment to becoming a full time small forward going thus far?
"It's been going well. Coach is helping me out with certain stuff - where my mind, my mentality is somewhere else - but overall it's going well and I'm just adjusting to it and getting better each day."
Can you talk about the bond you've developed with the other freshmen?
"We're real cool - me, Dexter, Leslie are rooming and then the Wear twins. We kind of knew each other before we came here - which is different than most. We were real close before we came here so it's been really cool ... The Wear twins, they stay to themselves, but you've got to watch them, though. Dex and Les, those are great guys. Leslie likes to dance and Dex is always doing something, so it's been real cool. ... We kind of have the same backgrounds and personality-wise we kind of click together - we all get along."
What's been the toughest adjustment on the court thus far?
"Probably the defensive end. Back in high school I would just stand in the paint and block shots. No you've got to get help side, deny, so it's different, but I like it - it's fun."
How's your first month of college basketball been for you?
"It's going great right now - practicing, working out, conditioning - it's going pretty good. It was a smack to the face at first, being a freshman, but I'm loving it ... We call it 'The Wall' - just the toughness of the college atmosphere, as far as conditioning-wise, learning the plays, so it's new to the freshmen, but as you get used to it, you just roll with it and it comes with you. ... The game is played much faster. Especially at North Carolina, we like to run, so conditioning-wise, running up and done, I had to get used to that."
Can you talk about the relationship you've established with your teammates, especially the freshman class?
"Me, John and Dexter are roommates and the Wear twins are living with Tyler a couple floors above us. We're getting along well. In practice we talk to each other, trying to figure out what plays we have to learn - we help each other out. ... I like to dance a little bit. I'm a funny character - I'm very humorous and outgoing. Me and John, we hear a tune we like, we like to get down a bit and Dexter follows right behind us ... John is a clown. You'll wake up in the morning and hear him yelling and run to his room and he'll say 'Aww, nothing, I just felt like yelling.' He's a clown, the stuff he does. ... As soon as we got on campus, we bonded quickly."
Just a couple days after you arrived here back in June, you were playing pickup alongside some former Tar Heels who are now in the pros. What did you take from that experience?
"If you're playing on the best team, you've got to get thrown out to the dogs. So once I got here we had to play NBA guys as well as college guys. It was a great experience for me, I learned a lot - especially from the NBA guys. They told me things I needed to work on and things I was doing well - it really helped me ... Rashad McCants was telling me about spacing. I had trouble running the lane with spacing - that's the key - and Coach tells us that a lot."
Learning the point guard spot under Roy Williams is difficult for a freshman, let alone one who didn't play the point the last couple years of high school ...
"It's challenging because you have to do different things - on a shot I can't go to the rim because I've got to get back on defense, I've got look to get my team involved - things like that. It's a challenge but I'll get through it. ... I don't think I'm going to grow any more, so I think I'll be a point if I get to the next level. Coach Roy is doing a good job trying to teach me the point guard's mentality and things like that. Once I get that knowledge down I think I'll be all right. ... [The biggest adjustment] has been just getting a different mindset from a point guard and a two-guard. Getting my teammates involved first and not taking that shot - just stuff like that."
How's the adjustment been moving from New Jersey to Chapel Hill?
"I feel like it's home. I actually have family members down here, so they come to the games. I love it down here - I can't complain at all. It's nothing like home, but I can't complain at all. I love it down here."
Coach Williams was yelling 'Go, go, go' at you tonight - how often do you hear that?
"All the time. He wants me and Larry to run like Ty Lawson, and you know Ty was up and down the court at 100 miles per hour. He's just getting on us about that. Me and Larry are doing a good job so far ... I don't have much experience, so I'm not used to going 100 miles per hour, so he's getting on me a lot - like tonight he got on me and tomorrow at practice I'm sure he'll get on me. You've just got to take what he says and learn from it."
Some were surprised to hear Coach Williams say you'll play some at the '3' this season, but you have in these first two games. How's that gone so far?
"I've been working at the three and I'm still trying to learn the rest of the plays as a '3' because I started off playing mostly the '4/5.' It's going well so far, I've just got to get a little bit quicker on defense to be able to guard the '3' guy, but so far I think I'm adjusting pretty well to it."
You've got so much depth on this team, so how's the rotation working out so far?
"We play an up tempo type of game, so we realize we'll end up playing a lot of guys and our depth will help us as the year goes on as guys start to wear down and get tired. It only benefits us that we have so many guys that can contribute to this team."
Coach Williams has talked about how the freshmen's heads are spinning right now ...
"Yeah, it's a lot of new stuff and a lot of new plays. And when you're sprinting and trying to remember what play to run, it can be overwhelming sometimes. But if you don't know something, you just run. "
How's it gone so far, getting used to college and this level of basketball?
"It's been pretty good so far. I'm still adjusting a bit from high school, but just getting used to college life, balancing out classes with all the practicing and preparing for games. It's a lot more intense than it was in high school."
What's practice been like - has it been what you expected?
"Every practice is like a game to us - we give 100 percent every time and try to bring that to [games]. ... The size, the intensity and the speed and quickness of everyone [has been the biggest adjustment in practice]. Everyone out here can play - they wouldn't be playing for North Carolina if they couldn't. Everyone out here is big, strong, fast and you've got to be on your toes at all times."
Coach Williams is still figuring out lineups at this stage, giving everyone minutes and see who fits where best. You've played more at a post position in the exhibition and tonight, whereas David has played more at small forward. Do you think that's where you two are settling in?
"We'll see how it happens. I know that Coach has told both of us that we're going to play some small forward. It's just the way the rotation is going right now, that Davis is playing small forward and I'm playing more power forward and center. I played some small forward the other night, so we'll see how it works its way out throughout the season."

Winter grazing management
Why winter grazing? Beef cow herd and sheep flock records show that winter feeding costs are livestock producers' single largest production expense. Managing through winter weather while keeping feeding costs low is an essential part of maintaining a profitable operation. Iowa's climate generally allows forage growth only during a 7-to-8 month period. Extending the grazing of this forage--even an extra 3 or 4 weeks in late autumn and winter--is an economical way to maintain or increase livestock profitability. Some producers extend the grazing season by using stockpiled forage, whereas others use crop residue, and many combine the use of stockpiled forage and crop residue. Producers who graze livestock during the winter need to know techniques that optimize their resources, provide consistent, high-quality forage, and conserve soil.
How to graze
Iowa's typical pasture species usually quit growing by November. But when coordinated with grazing crop residue, useful grazing can be extended far into the winter. To have adequate forage ready for fall and winter grazing, producers need to plan and manage for it.
Grazing livestock are very selective. When animals are provided an entire field of stockpiled forage or crop residue, they eat the best first and trample and waste much of it, contributing to a very low-quality diet during the later days or weeks of the grazing period. To improve the efficiency of fall and winter forage, use temporary fencing to divide fields into smaller units, subpastures, or narrow strips. This strategy stretches the forage supply over a longer period and provides more uniform diet quality.
Corn residue has lower digestibility and tends to decrease in digestibility more quickly than stockpiled pasture forage. If the cornstalks and stockpiled forages are located in two separate locations, the corn crop residue should be grazed first. If the crop residue and stockpiled pasture are located adjacent to each other (such as in a strip-cropping system), both of these resources may be grazed simultaneously. This approach allows the stockpiled pasture to supply some of the protein that might be deficient in the corn crop residue.
Impact on soil
Winter grazing on frozen soil causes minimal damage, but grazing on stockpiled pasture when soil conditions are muddy can lead to soil compaction and long-term damage to pasture sod. Grazing crop residue in wet conditions can disrupt soil structure, increasing soil bulk density and soil strength. Compacted areas in pastures often have decreased infiltration, and increased surface runoff and erosion. Damaging the surface soil structure can lead to the formation of cracks as the soil dries, which, in turn, allows water from subsequent rainfall to bypass the biologically active zone where nutrient cycling, root activity, and other processes are greatest. Recovery after severe damage can take several years, reducing subsequent forage or crop production. It also can reduce aeration, thus increasing the potential for denitrification.
If you are grazing livestock in fall and winter, have an area identified and fenced as a "sacrifice" grazing area for use when conditions are muddy. Because livestock on muddy pasture slopes can produce areas of bare soil, which slows grass sod recovery and generally adds to the potential for later soil erosion, the sacrifice area should be on a relatively level site, be suitable for reseeding, and be accessible for supplemental feeding if necessary.
Winter grazing: your choice
Many unanswered questions about winter grazing issues are being addressed in a new project funded in part by the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, the Foreign Agricultural Service, Iowa State University, and the Agricultural Research Service. This research project is designed to measure and evaluate the effect of grazing corn residue or stockpiled forage on soil quality, infiltration rates, and sediment loss, and whether simple site measurements can be used to predict potential runoff and the impact on subsequent crop productivity.
Winter grazing of stockpiled forage and crop residue can save producers money and add to the efficiency of their operation. However, it requires careful management to maintain the health of the livestock and to protect the soil.
More information related to this article can be found in ISU Extension publication Pm 1772, Stockpiled Forages: A Way to Extend the Grazing Season (November 1998).

Eni Nigeria Pipeline Struck by Delta Militants in 'Sign of Things to Come'
The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, the main armed group in Nigeria's oil-rich southern region, attacked and damaged a pipeline belonging to a unit of Italy's Eni SpA. (ENI)
The pipeline carries crude to an export terminal in the coastal town of Brass, about 250 kilometers (155 miles) southwest of the oil-industry hub of Port Harcourt, said Jomo Gbomo, spokesman for the group also known as MEND. "This relatively insignificant attack is a reminder of our presence in the creeks of the Niger delta and a sign of things to come," he said in an e-mailed statement after yesterday's incident.
Eni lost "around 4,000" barrels per day of "equity production" from the incident, the Rome-based company said in an e-mailed statement today confirming the attack.
MEND will also attack the Nigerian investments of South African companies including MTN Group Ltd. (MTN) and SacOil Holding Ltd. (SCL), Gbomo said, accusing South African President Jacob Zuma of interfering "in the legitimate fight for justice" in the Niger River delta region.
Threat to Output
Attacks by MEND and other militant groups in the delta, home to Nigeria's oil industry, cut the nation's crude output by more than 28 percent from 2006 to 2009, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Disruptions eased after thousands of fighters, seeking a greater share of oil revenue for the region's inhabitants, dropped their weapons and accepted an official amnesty. MEND refuses to disarm, saying the government hasn't met its demands for control of the delta's oil.
"Our silence thus far has been strategic, and at the right time we will reduce Nigerian oil production to zero," Gbomo said.
Nigeria is Africa's top oil producer and the fifth-biggest source of U.S. crude imports. Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSA), Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM), Chevron Corp. (CVX), Total SA (FP) and Eni run joint ventures with the state oil company Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. that pump more than 90 percent of the country's crude.
Renewed violence in the oil-rich delta, which is President Goodluck Jonathan's home region, is coming at a time the Nigerian leader is grappling with a surge of bombings and gun attacks by the Islamist Boko Haram group in the mainly Muslim north in which hundreds of people have died this year.
South African Probe
Henry Okah, a suspected MEND leader, faces trial in South Africa on terrorism charges related to car bombings on Oct. 1, 2010, that killed 12 people in the Nigerian capital, Abuja. MEND claimed responsibility for the blasts.
South Africa's Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation said it will investigate the threat against the country's investments in Nigeria.
"It's a matter we'll look into definitely; terrorism has to be rooted out," Clayson Monyela, spokesman for the Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation, said by cell phone today. "The authorities in Nigeria have always been responsive to acts that are unlawful and will deal with this as they always have dealt with such threats."
MTN is leaving security matters to the Nigerian and South African authorities and has no further comment, Rich Mkhondo, a spokesman for the Johannesburg-based company, said in an e- mailed response.

Ok, so "Album Review in Pictures" is kind of a misnomer; it's only one picture with a brief explanation as follows:
It's not that Ratitude is a bad album, but between the generic riffs, generic beats, generic lyrics, generic production, etc.; I found myself asking, "Why?". I'm not a big Weezer fan by any means, but it's still a bit sad to see the memorable hooks and witty sarcasm of the Pinkerton/Green Album days vanish into tunes with no more staying power than anything off the latest Nickelback LP. There's no song that really lags behind as a terrible clunker (though the use of Lil Wayne on "Can't Stop Partying" had me raising my eyebrows), yet on the other hand there's no tune to save the album from its inescapable genericism.
Skip this album; go pick up Julian Casablancas's just-released solo debut instead.
What are your opinions on Weezer's latest LP? Any upcoming albums you're looking forward to? Thank you for Reading!
Listening to Up, Up, and Away (Kid Cudi) Feeling Really sick Anticipating The Weekend

Samoan player Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu was obviously over-egging his sense of grievance when he compared the treatment of lower-rated teams at the Rugby World Cup to "slavery, like the Holocaust, like apartheid".
That is not to say, however, that he did not have a point. The number of rest days allotted to some of these countries during pool play has been a notable blemish.
There is, of course, a reason for the International Rugby Board's scheduling. Television audiences, and advertisers, in Europe want to see the bigger teams playing during peak viewing times at the weekend. That means other sides have to play midweek matches, often only a few days after a previous encounter. It is reasonable to suggest this may have played a part in Samoa's flat finish to the important game against Wales.
If this is something of an intractable problem for the IRB, it could at least ensure fairness applied to the maximum possible extent. To do otherwise negates the chance of the sort of inspiring upset that lights up such events.
The French have also ruffled feathers by selecting some second-string players to take on the All Blacks in a game they might prefer to lose. It has been suggested this tactic would be eradicated if a new draw was made after the first round.
Then, teams would not know their opponents beyond pool play.
Yet such strategising is part and parcel of international tournaments. Indeed, it is part of their fascination. Removing it would be an over-reaction.

Remote Milltown Inn: quaint country living (Michigan)Author: Donna Kumpula
Date of Trip: September 2005
We stopped at the Milltown Inn on M-69 in Foster City, Michigan - and it was like dialing back time to the 1970s. Nestled in the rolling hills of Foster City - surrounded by gentile whitetails voracious wolves, howling coyotes and the occasional moose.. Don't think you will lounge around watching TV, because this bed and breakfast only has a handful of VCR movies because the town is so remote that the nearest TV signals can not reach this two-story home and cable has yet to come to this tiny hamlet. Rather, you can lounge in the hot tub that's in both of this bed and breakfast's two rooms - one in fisherman's decor and the other a decidedly feminine touch. Comfortable beds made up with linens you'd swear where washed by your grandmother. It's easy to think you've drifted back to the 1970s - or earlier as you escape from all of today's bad news. And the food is unbelievable. The tiny restaurant is a favorite on many locals because of it's big portions, low prices and home-cooked meals. They specialize in hearty breakfasts from an omelette with your choice of ingredients to Swedish Pancakes - a thinner larger version of the usual pancake.
I recommend you drive to one of the nearby hilltops to watch the sunset or the frosty morning sunrise - truly a Rockwellian view of the world. You will leave Foster City thinking you'd slipped into an alternate reality - but soon radio signals become strong and you realize the real world awaits. Not a run of the mill town or Inn, the Milltown Inn is a reminder of the past - right down the turn-of-the-century school photos on the restaurant walls and pictures of an era when mighty workhorses pulled train cars loaded with hundreds of trees. In fact, Foster City traces its roots to the brawny hands of Swan Peterson - who not only managed the Morgan Lumber Company but single handedly outlawed alcohol - so his lumberjacks did not show up to work pickled. That booze ban lives on today - but there are bars on both sides of the city limits. Dozens of cousins used to play in the huge backyard in the 1970s,where one of Swan's children always had treats and lemonade for the Peterson offspring (Swan had 12 children - who all had large families and whose children's children are still around this great town. The Milltown Inn was once the home of spinster Ellen Halderson, who lived to her 90s - but was alone for a half century after the tragic death of her young husband while working under a car in the front where the paved driveway now sits. One of patriarch Peterson's daughters, the tough yet tender grandmother loved caring for the summer youngsters who played in her yard - mostly cousins that could be traced back to Swan. Often the smell of fresh warm cookies filled Ms. Halderson's home, and its that aroma that best describes this hideaway bed and breakfast nestled in a two-church town whose pews are full every Sunday.

Covanta SEMASS, L.P., a subsidiary of Morristown, N.J.-based Covanta Energy Corp., has signed an agreement to continue to handle waste disposal services for the City of Quincy, Mass. Under the agreement, Covanta SEMASS will take in Quincy's municipal solid waste (MSW) at its energy-from-waste (EfW) facility in Rochester, Mass. Quincy generates about 35,000 tons of municipal solid waste per year.
According to a Covanta news release, the agreement with Quincy is a renewal slated to begin in July 2013 with the contract running for 10 years with mutual extension options after the initial term.
Quincy also will continue to use an MSW transfer station in Braintree, Mass., that Covanta operates. The transfer station is currently undergoing construction for improvements, including measures to control odor from the facility and reduce noise from operations. MSW collected at the facility is transferred to the Covanta SEMASS EfW facility, where it is combusted to generate electricity for about 75,000 southeastern Massachusetts homes.
"The Covanta contract provides the City of Quincy with cost savings, continued dependability as well as predictability of our future solid waste disposal costs," says Daniel Raymondi, Quincy's Department of Public Works commissioner.
The Covanta SEMASS EfW facility, in operation since 1988, processes about 1 million tons of municipal solid waste and recovers nearly 50,000 tons of recyclable metals annually, according to the company.

Drink of the Week: The Band Wagon (TCM Fest Salute #3)
For fans of classic era film musicals, 1953's "The Bandwagon" usually ranks somewhere just below "Singin' in the Rain" in terms of sheer greatness. Devotees of director Vincente Minelli might even argue it's somewhat better. At the same time, like it's competition, the final film I saw at this year's TCM Fest is not a movie that takes itself seriously. Indeed, the whole point of the film is that even just a little too much gravitas can have some pretty disastrous show business outcomes. It's also a given by the conclusion that, when something isn't working, it's best to throw out your original idea and start something new.
Not unlike the behind-the-scenes story of an initially troubled Broadway musical, my road to creating a decent drink was beset by troubles. To start with, I was feeling a bit under the weather, so I decided to skip a few days drinking, leaving me only a couple of nights to work on this week's drink.
My problem, once I finally got started, was that I was somewhat overly besotted with one of the lesser known numbers from the film, the adorably mock-Teutonic "I Love Luisa" and its intoxicating refrain, "More beer!" Indeed, I had so much luck with some previous drinks topped off with beer that I was sure my conception was sound. It wasn't.

I don't usually cover genealogy matters in Scotland (English ones keep me busy enough!!), but I thought I would make an exception today. FindMyPast has just released the 1901 census for the whole of Scotland which means they now offer on their .co.uk site Scottish census 1841 – 1901. This might be handy to know if you have ancestors in England who lived in the counties which border Scotland.
1901 Census for Scotland
Digging Up Your Roots–Scotland
BBC Scotland is asking for listeners who have a query or story that they wish to share to contact them so that the query/story can be considered for inclusion in the new radio series of "Digging Up Your Roots" that is starting in January.

AXA PPP healthcare: we have had a question on our blog about whether there are any symptoms of high cholesterol.
Beverley Barnes: The problem with high cholesterol is that it does not present itself with symptoms and is usually picked up incidentally at screening or after a medical event as an associated cause.
Ruth asked: Hi Beverley, my boyfriend was recently told he has a heart murmur. What does this mean, and does it raise his risk of having a heart attack?
Beverley Barnes: Hi Ruth. A heart murmur (an unusual sound) is picked up when a doctor listens to your heart. A murmur does not always mean that there is a problem with your heart as people with normal hearts may also have murmurs. A large number of murmurs are entirely innocent. If your boyfriend is concerned he should discuss this with his doctor who may suggest that he have further tests to see how well his heart is working. The most common test is an echocardiogram which uses sounds waves to look at the structure of your heart. A heart murmur is not associated with a heart attack; this is caused by blockages in the small vessels called coronary arteries which provide the blood supply to the heart muscle.
CD asked: My friend recently experienced symptoms of angina; what are the main symptoms to look out for and what are the health risks associated with angina?
Beverley Barnes: Angina often feels like a heaviness or tightness in your chest, but this may spread to your arms, neck, jaw, back or stomach as well. Some people describe the feeling of severe tightness, while others say it's more of a dull ache. Symptoms of experiencing shortness of breath have been reported too. Angina is often brought on by physical activity, an emotional upset, cold weather or after a meal. Symptoms usually subside after a few minutes. If your symptom pattern changes, you should speak to your doctor immediately. There is medication available, too, that can help control your symptoms, whereas some people require treatments such as angioplasty or heart bypass surgery. Living a healthy lifestyle is a very important part of your treatment, too. Many people with angina have a good quality of life and continue with their normal daily activities. Your doctor or nurse will be able to advise you on your daily activity and any lifestyle changes you may need to make.
Barry A asked: Two members of my extended family have congenital heart defects (not sure of the name, involves enlarged heart) and I was wondering; if you have blood relations with this type of condition, is there a test you can get to identify your chances of passing it on to any children you may have in future?
Beverley Barnes: Congenital conditions of the heart that causes the heart to enlarge sounds like you may have a family history associated with a condition caused cardiomyopathy. This can be hereditary, there are many different types, and the best way forward is to find out the type from your family members who have already had heart disease and then you can discuss with your GP about genetic screening and tests. Despite a family history, not everyone is always affected.
AXA PPP healthcare: We have also had a question from a blogger asking: "My baby nephew has been diagnosed with a heart murmur; is this something he may grow out of, and will it have any impact on his life e.g. taking part in sports?"
Beverley Barnes: Although a heart murmur is an important presenting feature of a cardiac disorder in infancy and childhood, innocent murmurs are very common, occurring in up to 80% of children at some time or other. These murmurs are frequently detected during a febrile/fever illness, and are also exacerbated by nervousness or exercise. It is important to distinguish between innocent and pathological murmurs and to arrange more detailed evaluation of the child if there is any doubt. Children should be routinely screened for heart murmurs and other evidence of cardiac disorder at about six weeks and nine months of age, and at any subsequent examinations during childhood. Serious cardiac pathology may exist without symptoms. Taking part in sport would only affect your nephew if something underlying the murmur was detected. It will be checked routinely as he grows - he won't grow out of it. However, the majority of murmurs do not cause any additional problems and are just part of that person's anatomy.
Craig asked: My cardiologist tells me my snoring may be increasing my risk of heart disease and wants me to see a sleep specialist. How does snoring affect your heart?
Beverley Barnes: Without knowing too much, sounds like he is thinking of sleep apnoea and I would suggest you have a chat to your GP.
Ian McC asked: I have started running again after a couple of years' break; 15 minutes per run, four times a week. However, I'm slightly concerned that bursts of exertion could be bad for my heart - can you advise?
Beverley Barnes: All exercise is good for you. Was the reason for your break in running related to a cardiac event? Any exercise should start with a warm up and warm down; you will not cause any cardiac problems by bursts of exertion. During vigorous exercise your heart rate will increase rapidly because of the necessity for more oxygen and nutrients to get to you muscle cells. So the harder you run, the greater the demand for gas exchange in the muscle cells. Your heart will pump faster to provide gas exchange, but will slow accordingly as soon as you slowdown. If you are concerned about it, check your resting heart pulse and your pulse at high activity. If you check the web there are charts that will give you an idea what your heart rate should be pre and during exercise for your age.
Rach asked: My resting pulse rate is about 140 beats per min. This has only ever been checked by doctors in hospital so not sure if due to nerves. I had an ECG and they said the flow was normal. Should I be worried?
Beverley Barnes: Sometimes there is something called the "white coat syndrome" which can cause your heart rate and in fact your blood pressure to rise due to a subconscious response to the test. Your ECG was found to be normal, which is good. The "normal" textbook pulse rate is around 72 beats per minute (BPM), so yours is a little high. I don't know if you have any other health issues, but without alarming you that's quite fast at 140 BPM. If you are otherwise in good health, I would make a routine appointment to see your GP to discuss and check.
Chelsea asked: I am confused about heart disease and the benefits of aspirin. I read in the newspaper that an aspirin a day may help prevent stroke. Is that true?
Beverley Barnes: There are lots of different cells in our circulating blood, each with a different function. Platelets help with clotting when you sustain any form of cut or graze and respond by forming a clot. Aspirin is a mild anti-platelet, which means it inhibits their function. Many people take aspirin every day, especially after they have had a medical event such as a heart attack or a stroke, as a mild preventative against further clot formation. Other blood thinning drugs are used. Taking an aspirin a day can slightly reduce a clot formation, but strokes do have other causes, too, not just blood clots.
Fiona asked: Hi there. I recently felt a fluttering around my chest and tightness at the top of my left arm. At the same time I felt dizzy and my jaw hurt (didn't realise the jaw has any significance at the time but after looking at NHS website I found out it could be heart related). It's got me really worried as I'm 24 years old plus I exercise regularly and eat well. Do you know what this might be? I have booked in to see my GP next week.
Beverley Barnes: In view of your age and the symptoms you are describing please give NHS direct a call to get some additional guidance, I am sure there is no cause for concern, but it is prudent to get these things checked out for your own peace of mind.
AXA PPP healthcare: One of our followers on Facebook asked: "My grandfather had a heart attack and stroke, and my uncle (his son) has recently had a heart by-pass - although a fit healthy man he has high cholesterol. Is this genetic, and what tests should I have if any"?
Beverley Barnes: A predisposition to heart conditions can be hereditary; high cholesterol is not obvious as it does not have any symptoms and can only be picked up on screening or after a cardiac event. A family history suggests that other family members should get their GP to check their cholesterol regularly. Even people who eat a healthy diet and exercise can be prone to high cholesterol. There are dietary changes you can make to reduce intake of fats from the unhealthy type (saturated) to the healthy type as we need fat in proportion in our diet. The best thing to do is sketch out a family tree and take this to your GP, detailing who has had what type of heart disease and ask whether that makes you a candidate for genetic testing. There are lots of really effective drugs that can drive cholesterol down to even lower safe levels called 'statins', so if you do have a high level you can start reducing your risk against future possible problems straight away.
Ruth asked: Some of my family members have had heart problems, but they were also smokers and heavy drinkers. Am I still at risk of getting heart problems in the future (I don't smoke and rarely drink)?
Beverley Barnes: Smoking and heavy drinking are huge factors in disease, especially the blood vessels, so the fact that you don't smoke and rarely drink is good. Heart disease in the UK affects approximately one in six people; the best thing you can do to reduce your risk is eat a really good, balanced diet, take plenty of exercise and keep within a healthy BMI. Treat your body well and it will look after you.

The tragic shooting in Connecticut, like the tragic one before it in Colorado, once again has the public seeking answers and pundits seeking the easiest answers to give. Guns and mental illness -- these are the issues on the tip of the average tongue. Like a number notions entrenched in the public consciousness, they are somewhat untrue.
The term "mental illness" has been thrown around as a quick and easy solution for gun enthusiasts and media alike. Mental illness, in turn, is conflated with violence through a process of loaded renaming. Mentally ill people are "disturbed," "threatening," "bad people," and ultimately counter-cultural figments of fear induced imaginations. Essentially what this means is that there are those who need psychiatric treatment and then there is the rest of the world that needs to protect themselves from those people. The truth of mental illness is it is not a static concept, an ailment reducible to genetic rhetoric, there is no "murderer gene." Tragedies are not questions, hence there are never any answers.

How well do you know your customers? Do you know them as well as they know your business or brand?
In today's business economy, sales don't come as easy as they used to. We deal with a much more educated consumer that wants to become familiar with your product or services as well as your competitors before committing.
And sometimes one small thing you say or do, or don't… can trigger a new sale or make a customer happy. Or the other way around, of course.
But if you don't know your customers…
This Infographic by Help Scout (and research by my friend Gregory Ciotti) is not completely related to social media, even better, it reflects some of the things you need to know about your customers way before you jump on social media to start communicating.
If we fully understand these points, it will be much easier to implement a way of communicating with customers, focused on satisfaction. In social media and any other channels.
In other words the formula is: Business goals first, then social media to help you reach those goals
My favorite is #2, Personalization. I remember my dad used to love this particular restaurant. The interesting part to me however, was how the feeling was mutual, the minute he walked in there, everybody from the host, to the waiters to the chef will say hi to him using his name with an automatic smile on their faces. I was impressed and I know for him those details were important.
- How can you apply that kind of personalization in your communications with your customers?
- How something like this can improve those relationships?
- How can you integrate personalization into your social media strategy?
Start by knowing your customers better

Date of Stay: November, 2015
Had a nice 3 month stay at this park. We were working in the area. Good friendly folks. There are permanent residents. The owners of the park Ron and Libby, are very friendly and accommodating. Be sure you see them personally if you have problems.
Date of Stay: March, 2015
This campground is better than satisfactory, but we were there on a Friday night and with the interstate traffic, the race track, the railroad, and the airport----oh me. The racing is only on Friday nights. The staff was extremely helpful. The young man who checked us in was great. They prepare a complimentary breakfast for the over nighters--very nice. Pull throught sites are very close together.
Date of Stay: March, 2015
We really liked this campground. Quiet, clean and scenery was beautiful. There is nothing to lure you away from the beauty of the park. Great for bicycles. Stock up on groceries. Closest store is 15 miles. It is not a Walmart. In addition to the camping fee there was a $5 per day state park fee per person unless you bought the family park pass for $70.
Date of Stay: March, 2015
We stayed overnight. Pretty far off interstate 55 - close to 15 miles. Our GPS took us on an even longer way to get there. Ask for directions from park office. Well-spaced sites. We had trouble with power and had to move but park personnel were very helpful. Sites were level and well-spaced. Really nice park, but out of the way.
Date of Stay: March, 2015
Called late in the day and they were very accommodating giving us a site. The park was completely full, mostly with semi-permanent campers. Very clean and neat. Couldn't get wifi to work, but also didn't pick up but one other network, so probably everyone was on it. Restaurant was great. Good food. Good overnight stop. It is right on Hwy 59 so there was traffic noise.
Date of Stay: October, 2011
Monte Sano was a beautiful park. Sites were spacious, nice picnic table, fire ring, generally level. Bathrooms were quite nice for a state park. I am however, hooked on my technology and cell service was sporadic and had many dropped calls. Verizon air card in computer rarely got above one bar. If you are a hiker or love bicycling, this is a good place for you. Convenient to Huntsville. Tree cover is dense so no satellite TV either. Very quiet during the week, but on Friday the place filled up and got very busy. We stayed in a water/electric site only. There are only about 10 or 12 sewer sites on each of two loops.
Date of Stay: October, 2011
This campground is located 7 miles of the interstate but it is a nice find! Very quiet, plenty of room, friendly hosts. Wi-Fi was good - there is satellite hookup for TV. We have our own dish so we didn't use it. Very relaxing,each site had a picnic table, and nice fire ring. Creek also on the property. Adjacent to Rails to Trails. We stayed several days. It is in a rural area but we enjoyed it.
Date of Stay: December, 2010
This was a nice campground. Very clean and neat. We only stayed overnight on the way to Dauphin Island, it was a good halfway point for us. Owner was friendly and helpful. This was a nasty day: rain and sleet started about dark. Easy setup, pretty level. Campground can be seen from I-65, but noise was not bad. Really didn't have chance to see much. It was great for an overnight stop.
Date of Stay: December, 2010
This is a new small park right on Bienville Blvd. across from the public beach on Dauphin Island. There were very few other campers while we were there. When there are, the camping spots will be tight. There is a nice picnic table and concrete patio, and the owners are adding cable TV now. Owners were super friendly and nice. Of course, you are right across the road from the beach and it was beautiful. We were right next to the road and the road noise was noticeable during the day but never bothered us while sleeping. We had a great time.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
Wow! What a wonderful campground. We loved staying here. Soooo quiet. Wi-fi was great, bathrooms were some of the cleanest we have ever encountered. Staff was very nice, very helpful. There is generous room between sites, some trees but not too many. This campground is in the middle of a big meadow, bluebird box right by our campsite, a nuthatch visited our campsite every morning for crumbs! We made day trips to Cades Cove, Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge and Cheerokee. Did some geocaching and were able to walk to many of the cache sites. Loved all the flowers and birds at the campground. Rained two days while we were here, no problem with mud or water drainage. Has a concrete pad and nice picnic table at each site. Excellent place to visit!
Date of Stay: April, 2010
Campground is very full, but we were happy to have a site. We got a water/electric only site and will dump when we leave. Neighbors are nice, but can see what the other review was talking about. Campground does seem full of full-timers. We are several rows back in the campground but interstate noise is still very noticeable. Camp staff very nice and friendly. Campground has pool, playground. No dog noises, or noise from neighbors. We had Good Sam discount.
Date of Stay: April, 2010
This is a great park. The laundry and showers were sparkling clean. Staff was very friendly, knowledgeable about Branson, and had good ticket deals. Park is undergoing some upgrades. Our site was shady, with gravel interior roads. Close enough to town so sightseeing is not a problem, but it's out in the country so you could relax when you got back from a day in town. Has a nice pool. Branson is pretty cool.
Date of Stay: April, 2010
This was our first experience with KOA. Train whistle, train whistle, clang, clang. The staff was nice and friendly. We had RV trouble and had to cancel our reservation, then ended up being able to make our reservation anyway. Unfortunately, KOA policy dictates you get your reservation fee deducted anyway. That's ok, our fault. Nice paved road leading up to campground, lots of activities for kids. Has a pool, jumping pillow, basketball court, pool. Train whistle, train whistle, clang, clang. Staff friendly and helpful. Cable TV didn't initially work, and staff was quick to come fix it. (Paid extra for the cable TV.) Wi-fi was fine. Laundry was very nice. Did have to wait until some of the semi-permanent residents finished folding their clothes on the washer that I had my clothes in before I could get them out and put them in the dryer. Clang, clang, train whistle, train whistle. Interior roads were rough, not conducive to bicycle riding, our picnic table was rotting and splintered. Neighbor's dog on a twenty foot leash, came and visited us while we were sitting outside in front our camper door. Several dogs were tied up outside of campers, felt sorry for them. Never heard them bark, probably because of train noise. KOA does have policies regarding dogs in the campground, but apparently they are not as important as the cancellation guidelines. Big picture: nice folks, if you like trains, you will LOVE this park. If you don't like trains, day to day, I would say, stay somewhere else.
Date of Stay: April, 2010
Site was level. Don't really gamble - but played a penny machine and had fun. Pets in view in campground but kept up and no annoying barking. Very friendly check-in staff at box office. Great stop if you like to gamble or an overnight. Not really a "camping" stop". Enjoyed it!
Date of Stay: March, 2010
Beautiful view of the river. Really enjoyed that. Sewer too far away from camper. Had to move camper and dump as we left. Not crowded on this early weekend in March. Very nice host. Park was quiet and close to city conveniences without the noise.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Rod Parsley, a fundamentalist pastor who John McCain praised as a "spiritual guide" during the 2008 presidential campaign, is in big trouble—demonic trouble. Parsley has claimed that Islam is "the greatest religious enemy of our civilization and the world," and argued that the historic mission of America is to see "this false religion destroyed." (You can watch a video highlighting those comments here. After weeks of controversy, McCain finally repudiated Parsley in May 2008.) But it's not Islam that's causing Parsley problems these days. It's Satan himself. The Columbus Dispatch reports that Parsley is saying his ministry is under a "demonically inspired financial attack." Here's the clip from his television program, "Breakthrough":
The proximate cause of Parsley's trouble, it seems, is a $3 million deficit for the fourth quarter and a $3.1 million legal settlement over a 2006 incident in which a two-year-old child in a Parsley-affiliated daycare center was spanked so hard that his "buttocks and legs were covered with welts and abrasions":
The boy, then 2, said he was spanked with a "knife" by a substitute teacher. His parents, Michael and Lacey Faieta, believe it was a ruler.... The Faietas said Parsley refused to meet personally with them and that the church did not apologize or take accountability for the beating.... Mr. Faieta said he and his wife were "disgusted" and "saddened" by Parsley's words.
The devil works in mysterious ways.

Citation: Joseph, R., Reed, S.T. 2009. The Effects of Endosulfan on Microbial Respiration. American Chemical Society Abstracts. Interpretive Summary: n
Technical Abstract: Endosulfan (6,7,8,9,10-hexachloro-1,5,5a,6,9,9a-hexahydro-6,9-methano-2,4-3-bensodioxathiepin-3-oxide) is an organochlorine compound commonly applied to agricultural crops as an insecticide. However, little is known about its effect on non-target soil microorganisms. The effects of endosulfan on soil respiration were investigated in a study designed to assess the fate and transport of endosulfan with and without a buffer strip. Moisture, temperature and net CO2 production were measured in a bean field where endosulfan had been applied. Beans were grown in 11.4 x 2.4 m2 field with a 2.0 slope emanating from the center. At the base of each slope were four 4.1 x 1.8 m plots. Half the plots were planted to switch grass and half were bare soil. Endosulfan was applied to bean area. The experimental design included two treatments, no endosulfan and endosulfan. Net CO2 production was measured weekly using an ADC LCA-4 analyzer. Campbell Scientific CS616 Water Content Reflectometers were used to measure average soil moisture content between the surface and 30-cm depth. Soil temperature was measured with Campbell CS107 temperature probes at 6 cm deep. Soil microbial analysis was also conducted from soil samples collected at 0.3 and 0.9 meters from the edge of bean field. The data from the studied treatments was compared to determine the effects of the pesticide on observed readings. Endosulfan applications to a bean field resulted in inconsistent short-lived increases in soil respiration above untreated plots. No apparent relationship between soil moisture or temperature with soil respiration was observed. No correlation was found between soil moisture and soil respiration even though soil moisture likely influenced soil respiration rate. Soil respiration from the bare soil no endosulfan plots was consistently lower than any other plots. A short-lived inhibitory effect on fungi was detected but bacteria counts significantly increased in response to endosulfan.

As the presidential candidates debate the future of healthcare reform, President Bush and the Congress are at odds over a current program that's about to expire. Should subsidized health insurance for poor children be expanded? How will the issue impact the ongoing campaign? Also, after a shoot-out involving Blackwater USA, the Iraqi government wants to crack down on America's private security forces and, on Reporter's Notebook, the US Agency for International Development versus the Taliban in the toughest place in Afghanistan.

Reminiscence Therapy (RT) involves the discussion of past activities, events and experiences with another person or group of people, usually with the aid of tangible prompts such as photographs, household and other familiar items from the past, music and archive sound recordings. Reminiscence groups typically involve group meetings in which participants are encouraged to talk about past events at least once a week. Life review typically involves individual sessions, in which the person is guided chronologically through life experiences, encouraged to evaluate them, and may produce a life story book. Family care-givers are increasingly involved in reminiscence therapy.
Reminiscence therapy is one of the most popular psychosocial interventions in dementia care, and is highly rated by staff and participants. There is some evidence to suggest it is effective in improving mood in older people without dementia. Its effects on mood, cognition and well-being in dementia are less well understood

(CNSNews.com) -- Rep. Rob Andrews (D-N.J.) said that increasing oil drilling "off the coast" is "a problem, not a solution" to creating jobs in the United States. Andrews recommended that House Republicans bring legislation to the floor if they think more drilling will create jobs.
Appearing at a press conference with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) on job creation, Rep. Andrews said, "I agree with my colleague and friend that drilling for oil off the coast is a problem, not a solution, but let's get back to the main point here that if the Republicans really believe that was really a job-creating idea, why don't they put it on the floor?"
Andrews, the ranking member of the House Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions Subcommittee, continued, "I mean, walking into this room and having a discussion about it is one thing, but we're in the minority. We can't get our ideas on the floor but they can. So if that's such a great idea, they ought to do it. I wouldn't vote for it because I think it's a poor idea. But it says what they think of the idea if they don't put it on the floor."
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a member of the House Budget Committee, said there would be no "immediate" reduction of gas prices from more drilling.
"We need to be reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and, in general, specifically, we need to reduce our dependence on oil, foreign oil. But adding to our dependence on fossil fuels is not the answer," she said.
"We need to be taking a long-term view," she said. "It's been proven over and over again that there would no immediate return on a reduction in gas prices or a significant expansion of our energy resources by beginning drilling for more oil right now -- and that to me is not the real responsible way to explore creating jobs."
Wasserman added, "It's just another example of how they [House Republicans] can have all the press conferences they want but they still have no legislation that would create jobs – not even that."
According to the Congressional Research Service (CRS), the total proved reserves and technically recoverable amount of oil in the United States, as of 2009, was 164.6 billion barrels. The United States consumes about 6.8 billion barrels of oil each year (of which about 60 percent is imported).
As for natural gas in the United States, the CRS report, using data from the federal Energy Information Administration, shows there are 1,407.4 trillion cubic feet – America consumes 22.74 cubic feet of natural gas per year.
As for coal, the report shows that the United States has a technically recoverable amount of 261 billion short tons; the country consumes about 1 billion short tons per year.
Not counting technological advances in locating new deposits of fossil fuel and discounting any imports from other countries, the United States by itself, given current demand, has at least enough oil for 24 years, enough natural gas for 62 years, and enough coal for 261 years.
Those numbers do not include new deposits of fossil fuels that may be found in the future and as technology advances. Nor do the numbers include the estimated worldwide reserves from selected nations (Saudi Arabia, Canada, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait and Venezuela), which total 1.3 trillion barrels of oil; 6.6. trillion cubic feet of natural gas; and 930 billion short tons of coal, according to the CRS report.
When those fuels are converted into one source of measurement, such as barrels of oil, says the CRS, then worldwide reserves from those six nations equal 5.7 trillion barrels of oil.
On a related note, potentially recoverable reserves of oil from shale – an expensive and currently cost-prohibitive operation – are estimated to be between 800 billion and 1.38 trillion barrels in the United States alone, according to the CRS report. These recoverable reserves – not counting imports -- could potentially meet current U.S. demand for oil for another 147 years.

When I met my husband, I told him I had six siblings. I find that this is usually met with more warmth than the truth: that I am an only child. It wasn't an out-and-out lie: I have six half-siblings from my father's first marriage, but I was raised separately.
Far from being lonely, the idea of my parents having another baby was a huge source of anxiety for me. While my parents weren't overly indulgent, I never had to fight anyone for my things, personal space or attention. Which is possibly why we "onlies" have such a bad rep. We're either spoilt brash extroverts or loner introverts, selfish to the core. As father-of-six Colin Brazier's 2013 book, Sticking Up for Siblings, described, we are more likely to experience obesity and allergies or, if we are to believe Freud, problems with our sexual identities too.
Perhaps only children won't be stigmatised for much longer though, as it seems it is a growing trend to keep the offspring headcount down to one. According to 2011 census analysis released by the Office for National Statistics this week, almost half of all families in England and Wales (46%) have just one child, 38% have two and 16% have three or more. The ONS is quick to point out, however, that families may still include a second child who is over the age of 16 or no longer living with their family.
But still, families are smaller and it's no wonder when you consider that the average cost of raising a child is now over £227,000, according to figures from the Centre for Economic and Business Research. The housing crisis – where on earth do you keep all those kids? – economic uncertainty and a difficult job market is surely making fewer children a necessity for some, not just a lifestyle choice.
Then there is the energy and time that kids demand. As our desires as men and women evolve to include more experiences outside the domestic and professional spheres, many parents want to make more time for selfish pursuits. And what about the environmental and ethical ramifications of having several children? The extra resources another body would consume, the carbon footprint of a western child and the prospect of our planet buckling under the weight of over 10 billion people in the next 50 years helped me convince my husband that our daughter, born in 2012, will be an only child.
I am forever defending that decision to the rest of the world. In fact, as the registrar stitched my vagina up and I wondered if I would ever walk again, the midwife handed me my baby for the first time with the prophetic words: "The next one will fly out." Then it was, "When is she going to get a brother or sister?" followed by the knowing, "Oh, you'll soon change your mind". Family members, friends, colleagues, strangers, the postman – they all want to know when I will stop taking the pill and are unable to accept my answer. "But she'll be so lonely!" is generally the pitying conclusion they draw.
Two years into parenting our only child, I also have to defend my choice to myself. As my daughter leaves the baby phase behind, it is hard to accept that it is the only time we'll experience each milestone. Of course, there are some moments I'm less keen to repeat. As friends start preparing for baby number two, I remember the sleepless nights, the toxic nappies and the projectile vomiting phase, and I'm fairly sure we've made the right decision.
But that's selfish, isn't it? My poor, innocent daughter's desire for siblings is no match for my career and a few nice holidays. The "won't she be lonely?" comments have started to infiltrate the part of my brain given over to parental guilt. She sits on her own at a playgroup and I start to bite my lip; she hangs on to her friend's arm at home time as if to say, "Don't go, I'm so lonely!"
What I don't feel I can share with other parents is that I believe my child will be better off as an only child, or the fact that I was. That's not to cast aspersions on a mum of four; actually I envy her three extra kids most of the time. But for me, the financial, emotional and social aspects of parenting will be best channelled into one child rather than spread thinly over several. Hopefully, as onlies become the new normal, people will accept my decision without question, instead of wondering aloud why on earth anyone would have only one child.

Journey of the Nishiyuu -Paul Seesequasis
68 days and 1,600 kilometers after leaving Whapmagoostui in northern James Bay, the original seven Nishiyuu Walkers arrived in Ottawa. They were greeted by thousands and joined by nearly 270 other walkers, mostly youth, from Native and non-Native communities along the way. Their simple message of healing and unity struck a chord that played well on social media and spread quickly. It was a testament to the power of the new moccasin telegraph, Twitter and Facebook, but it also revealed how completely out of touch mainstream media is with Indigenous issues. There was scant coverage, certainly Cree Radio CBC and then Radio Canada (French) were there almost from the beginning. But for weeks, and during the most arduous part of the journey, when temperatures dipped to -50 celsius, and through blowing snow and across open terrain, there was not a whisper from mainstream media. It was not for lack of being informed. Press releases were sent out. Numerous followers send links to outlets such as The Globe and Mail,...Read More

Byrd of Virginia Resigns After 32 Years in Senate; BYRD STEPS DOWN FROM SENATE POST
Special to The New York Times ();
November 12, 1965,
, Section , Page 1, Column , words
RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 11 -- United States Senator Harry Flood Byrd, the 78-year-old conservative patriarch of Virginia politics, resigned today, citing his failing health. His departure opened the way for what is expected to be a bitter struggle for control of the Virginia Democratic party, already showing signs of progressivism after nearly half a century of tight conservative control by the Senator's organization.

text: This talk concerns the problems of quadratic hedging and mean-variance portfolio selection in an incomplete market with continuous trading, multiple assets, and Brownian information. In particular, we consider the case where the parameters describing the market model (drift and volatility) are random processes. Such a situation arises, for instance, when the drift and volatility coefficients are estimated online using real-time data. We approach these problems from the perspective of linear-quadratic (LQ) optimal control and backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs); that is, we focus on the so-called stochastic Riccati equation (SRE) associated with the problem. Our primary theoretical contribution is a proof of existence and uniqueness of solutions of the SRE associated with the quadratic hedging and mean-variance problems. In addition, we derive closed form expressions for the optimal portfolios and efficient frontier in terms of the solution of the SRE. A generalization of the Mutual Fund Theorem is also obtained. An application of these results to the problem of optimal hedging of a partially observed liability will also be discussed. Andrew Lim obtained his PhD in Systems Engineering from the Australian National University in 1998. His interests include the areas of stochastic control, financial engineering, optimization, and applied probability, and his research has been published in journals including the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, Automatica, and Mathematics of Operations Research. During the 2001-2002 academic year, he was a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research at Columbia University, and joined the Industrial Engineering and Operations Research Department at the University of California (Berkeley) in 2002.

What I did
It took us a while to work out the taxi process from the BA airport...u have to pre-pay at a counter inside
Did some shopping in the many malls, got my haircut (very violent process, he cut my neck!) and just soaked up some sun and relaxed in the Spanish influenced culture for the final moments. Much warmer here than Peru or Bolivia, but still only low 20's. I could have spent more time in BA, not a great deal of sights to visit, but there is a good vibe to the city and lots of different districts to explore. It is the airport hub of Sth America, so it's likely that I will pass thru again in my lifetime and at least I know what to expect. On my final night, we headed out to a dinner and Tango show that included hotel pick-ups so that was really helpful. Great food and good entertainment with a sleek production and some incredible dance moves
I am typing this while on 9 hr stop-over in Johannesburg. Watching planes take off and land. They have renovated and expanded this airport since the soccer world cup last year and it is heaps better and bigger, so the long lay-over is not so bad. I've done a bit of duty-free shopping at the 'Out of Africa' store which has to be one of my fav stores in the world. Just a couple of hrs to go until my flight to Ghana and the end of another break! It was a busy break and I'm actually looking forward to the routine of work, eat, sleep. Lots of experiences to reflect on and I will probably look at my photos and think "wow, we did that?!". I'm glad that Melissa and I didn't kill each other. I am not the easiest person to travel with, but I think Melissa and I make a good travel team. Gracias South America!

Rock Solid
As many residents of Rockaway know, a meeting took place last Wednesday, August 22, at the Knights of Columbus Hall on Beach 90 Street. The event was initiated by a mass email circulated in the community by Vince Castellano, former chair of Community Board 14, with the subject line, "Rockaway Beach Needs a Voice." Castellano also sent the invitation to this newspaper, and it was published in the letters column on Friday, August 17.
Once the discussions had concluded, after almost every person present took the opportunity to speak for at least a minute or two, there was a consensus that those present are not satisfied with the quality of life on the peninsula, and that many feel it is too difficult to effect positive change through present governmental channels, such as the Community Board, City Council Participatory Budgeting process, and ad hoc groups like the Rockaway Task Force. Are existing homeowners' and civic associations part of the solution?
A desire for accountability and transparency on the part of homeowners' and civic groups was expressed over and over at the meeting.
Many agreed that the need for civic engagement is not confined to zip code 11693, shared by Rockaway Beach and the community of Broad Channel. Some said they thought a peninsula-wide civic group should be formed. Others declared that was unworkable, for various reasons.
At the conclusion of the meeting, a committee of 19 residents offered to serve on an exploratory committee to suggest a procedure for organizing the group.
For readers who might not be aware, the directory of community service organizations in the most recent "Newcomer's Guide" published by The Wave several years ago, lists short descriptions for a number of groups one could categorize as "homeowners" or "civics" professing to provide a forum for solving general problems in particular neighborhoods.
I am not including fraternal, environmental, recreational, or other specialized groups in this discussion. It should be noted that some existing groups are missing from the list for various reasons, including three residents' associations in the 11697 zip code for Breezy Point, Rockaway Point, and Roxbury. Also keep in mind that there are numerous cooperatives and condominium complexes on the peninsula, with tens of thousands of residents, that have elected boards or tenants' associations. These are not included in The Wave's booklet, either. If you live in one of those buildings, you probably receive notices in your mailbox of board meetings affecting you. The conclusion I have reached is that plenty of volunteer time is already expended on attempting to maintain the quality of life here in our community.
The nine neighborhoods that presently have their advocacy groups established include Arverne, Bayswater, Belle Harbor, Broad Channel, Deerfield Area, Frank Avenue, Neponsit, Rockaway Beach, and Rockaway Park (now called "Rockaway Civic.") When newer civics spring up, as happens from time to time, they often don't stand the test of time, or ever end up in directory listings.
Six of the groups in the list meet "as needed" or "generally" on a set schedule. Only two of them, Broad Channel and Frank Avenue, list a regular monthly time and place for their meetings.
Speaking of Broad Channel, let's look at that community of 1200-1400 households and their civic, which is a good model.
The population is only about 2500, yet due to its location, the community enjoys excellent transportation links (both train lines, the Rockaway Park Shuttle and the Far Rockaway A-Train stop there, plus all Rockaway express buses). They have their own branch library, tennis and basketball courts, little league sports facility, and at least three good-sized halls of churches and veterans' groups are available for meetings. More than a dozen stores of various types serve residents¸ and three of the 50 members of Community Board 14 live in Broad Channel.
Because the community is geographically compact, they have been able to call on regular volunteers to deliver their newsletters and meeting notices to the doorsteps of all homeowners. Their meetings are generally well-attended. I've seen anywhere from 20 to over 150 at any given meeting.
That's an impressive percentage of local households!
After listening to all of the speakers at last week's meeting in Rockaway Beach, it was obvious to me that there is no shortage of articulate voices proposing creative solutions to civic issues. Read the letters column of The Wave each week—it's packed with great ideas for change. I have reached the disappointing conclusion that we cannot move forward and improve our quality of life in Rockaway without some radical reforms in city government, particularly in the area of improving transparency and accountability on land use decisions.
I agree that it is important for our civic groups to be effective and united. We face a massive, uncaring beast that, upon its formation in the late 1890s, was called, ironically enough, "The Imperial City." The Rockaway community seems powerless to fight several recent land use controversies due to something called "as of right" zoning.
No local body has any right to advance notice or consultation on whether a vacant parochial school becomes a "transient" hotel, a charter school, a mental health care facility, a community garden, or a jail? Does "as of right" go that far? You must be kidding me! If so, it sounds like developers are the only ones who have rights, and the existing residents and homeowners are just plain out of luck.
The Imperial City, indeed.

Cozy Retreat
In late afternoon, the community of Habersham in Beaufort, South Carolina, welcomes high tide. Water ripples where a few hours earlier there was only puddled marsh, and the sun casts a golden path on the choppy Broad River. Pelicans fish for dinner in tall grasses rising above the water's surface. and boats meander through narrow channels that define the river's junction with Habersham Creek.
Live oaks dripping in Spanish moss dominate the Lowcountry landscape. "We designed around the major trees to preserve the natural environment," says developer Bob turner. Roads curve around the sprawling giants.

EL-ARISH, Egypt >> An Egyptian security official says three explosions have targeted a military and police convoy in volatile northern Sinai, wounding four troops.
The official says Friday's explosions, one of which was from a roadside bomb, hit near the town of Sheikh Zuweid, close to the border with the Gaza Strip.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.
The northern part of the Sinai Peninsula has seen a rise in attacks and suicide bombings by suspected Islamic and al-Qaida-inspired militants, especially after the Islamist President Mohammed Morsi was ousted in a popularly-backed coup in July.
Roadside blasts strike troop convoy in north Egypt
Egypt's interim, military-backed government has designated Morsi's group, the Muslim Brotherhood, as a terrorist organization and accuses it of ties to a known al-Qaida-inspired group that has claimed many of the Sinai attacks.

Bizare experience at BMW Service Centre -Dubai
My car is under service warranty and on the 10.9.2011 I sent my BMW 3201 for service. To my horrow the car was delivered to me after three days with the reservour cap misplaced and no water in the reservoir. I brought this to the attention to the german service manager, who apologitically acknowledged the lapses. On driving home I heard an unsettling knocking sound inder the chasis especially when taking turns.
I immediately called the service advisor and insisted a BMW tester do a test drive with me to identify and rectify the faults. she asked me to come to the AGMC service centre ( BMW agent in Dubai) at Shaik Zaid Road first thing in the morning.
Questions that need to be addressed :
1.Why was the car left unattended for three consecutive days?
2. Why was the light maintenance done only after my complain whic is on the third day?
3. Why was there an absence of a post service inspection prior to delivery of the serviced car to the customer?
4. How do I know that the good parts from my car is not canabalised or swap while left unattended at the service centre?
My pridicaments shows either AGMC service centre is short handed or incompetent and unbecomming of BMW after sales service .
what line of action is best for me to take?
Thank you,
Just Advocator. Dubai, UAE.
