I don't even know what it's called but;
I've heard about a device that a parent would wear a thing on wrist and have it's other half on the child and if they got more than 15 feet or so apart from each other the thing on the parent's wrist would sound an alarm or some kind of alert.
To help not lose track of your child in a public place I guess.
Anyone know what this is?
Can you post a link to it?

A bit simpler approach might be a harness/leash for the child. When I was a mite, my folks had one for me, when we went out and about. Fairly effective, given that above age two I apparently found it necessary to run everywhere ... even in shops. No marks, despite what must have been countless times when I reached the end of the rope. I'm betting a well-stocked kiddie shop ought to have such things.

We bought one of those leashes for a trip to Disney World when my youngest was about 18 moths old. We did not want to take the chance of losing her in the crowds and she loved to walk and not be held. When we got there, we put the harness on her (I think it looked like a stuffed animal on her back). She sat down and would not move. No matter how we tried to coax her, she just sat. We ended up renting a stroller.

St. John's Lutheran Church and School of Marysville welcomes you to the 2013 All Ohio Lutheran Basketball Tournament. I extend a special thanks to the many volunteers who have worked for months to prepare for our time together. It is our sincere prayer that you enjoy this weekend of Christian fellowship and Christ-centered competition.
It is a great privilege to host this time honored tradition as it is just one part of the greater ministry that is Lutheran education. Mark 8:36 poses the question, "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?" Schools that provide an outstanding education with programs and events like these are essential for preparing students for the race marked out for them. However,what does it profit a boy or girl if they are academically outstanding or athletically superior if they lack faith?
It is our prayer that you find yourself enjoying this time together. Win or lose, today and always, may we know, grow, and sow our true victory. "Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" 1 Cor. 15:57

My birthday was Sunday April 13th, 2008. My meow my fixed me some Frosty Paws with Catnip in them. She also made me some toys out of felt, cotton filler, bells, catnip and used cross stitch tread to sew them together. I love my toys they are awesome.
For my birthday my girlfriend Sunny out of BOCU group got me some toys but they came the day after, so I had a long birthday. She got me some Catnip Mice, a Tail Chaser, several Balls with Bells in them, a Pom Pom cat toy, a Crinkly Ball that Crinkles when you Chew on it, a Ball with beady things in it, a Pawbreaker catnip treat ball and a picture frame magnet for meowmy to put a picture of me in it and stick to the refridgerater(you know that thing that people store food in that keeps it cold but not frozen). My most favorite toy my girlfriend Sunny gave me was my Tail Chaser but they are all my favorites even the ones meowmy made for me.
I got rosettes, a cake, and a few others things on my page from my fellow catster friends and group members. Thank you everybody that gave me something for my birthday.
Meowmy got some of thimgs that humans wear called clothes for them to try on and went through and got rid of some of what humans call books. Guess what I did? I got in the bag and boxes and had me a good time. I even played with some of the stings on the clothes. I just had me a good time.
I had a great birthday! Just being being on catster, being with my family and friends, everything everybody did made my birthday special. I had a great 1st Birthday. I will never forget my 1st birthday ever!
I have a Hamster sister and brother. Their names are Crystal and Stormy. I love to get on top of the hamster cages sitting on top, looking down at the hamster in the cage thinking "oh boy wonder if I can get me a hamster snack tonight, mmm looks yummy"
I have an interesting way to go to the litterbox. My meowmy got me a tunnel for Christmas and I really love it. It sounds like plastic when I step inside. I don't want to go to the litterbox without going through my favorite tunnel and I won't. The tunnel used to have a toy attached but I detached that a long time ago. Then meowmy cut the string so I wouldn't choke on it.
To drink water I like to sit on the bathroom sink with the water running, put my paw underneath and lick the water off of my paw or stick my tongue under the stream of water and drink from the running faucet.
I have to examine everything that comes in this house. Meowmy has a chair that sits on the porch. She sits in it and watches for her mom to get home from work. Today it almost blew off the porch because the winds are so strong. She brought it in so it wouldn't blow away and I had to sniff every inch of it because maybe another cat might have laid in it and I wanted to know if they did. We do have stray cats in the neighborhood.
I get under meowmy's dresser tip my food bowl over and eat my food off of my place mat. Why I do this I do not know but I would rather do this instead of standing in front of my food bowl and eating out of the bowl that but meowmy has got me a ceramic bowl that I can't tip over. Now it it not as interesting to go eat but I eat any way standing in front of my food bowl now because I can't tip this bowl over.
My humans have a plastic drain stopper upper to filter out the human hair out of the bathtub. I like to get that out and play with, then hide it so my humans can't find it. I don't know why they get mad when I do this but they do and then they find it. What a bummer because I wanted to play with it later and not have to go searching it again.
I am sorry I haven't wrote in my Diary lately Meowmy has been busy lately. Here is my second diary entry. I will try to write in my diary more often, preferably every day if I can.
My meowmy has sleep apnea and has to wear a machine. With her sleep apnea, her airway narrows and she doesn't get enough oxygen while she sleeps. Guess what, I figured out how to cut it off during the night but she outsmarted me she put a big retangular lid on top of it and her clock so I couldn't press the buttons on either.
My meowmy is amazed how smart I am. I know when it is bedtime. I sit there and wait at the hallway entrance til she gets up and goes down the hall to her bedroom. I also can tell when meowmy is in pain from her umbilical hernia surgery and I know not to step on her incision. I don't know how I know, I just do.
While my meowmy is sleeping, I step on the keyboard and try to type to you all. My meowmy has outsmarted me there too. She puts the keyboard on the catputer, so I can't step on because it makes a sound that is annoying to her when I step on it.
Meowmy loves me although sometimes I get on her nerves. I know this because she pets me, kisses me alot. You can tell by her actions that she would be lost without me.
In the Spring she is going to get me a playmate to play with. I don't know how I feel about another cat coming into this house but maybe it will be fun. I may not like another cat coming into my territory but I may like it when I get used to it.
Meowmy is amazed at how I have grown over the last 7 months that she has had me. She says I am the best thing that has happened to her. She also said she couldn't imagine life without me. Guess what I can't imagine what life would be without her. Meowmy said that I am a miracle that my previous owner was willing to give me up when she heard that meowmy wanted a cat to love. My previous owner would not adopt me out to just any body. She wanted to make sure I went to a good home where I would be loved and be treated right. She felt confident that Meowmy would do just that. I miseed my brothers, sisters, brother, mommy and my owner. At first when Meowmy adopted me was scared because I was in a strange house with strange people but now I am glad I was adopted by my Meowmy because I know I couldn't have a better home than my present one. I used to hate being an indoor cat at first but now I like it because now when it rains I don't get and it isn't too hot or too cold like the outdoors. I get treats and toys more now than I did at my old home.
I am thankful for all my friends on catster too. You all are a miracle that also came in to my Meowmy's life. She thanks God about it everyday.

Whoda Thunk It?
It looks like gun control doesn't work very well in Iraq, either. Where should we try it next? I imagine it could get a damn-near 100% success rate in Antarctica.

The jihad has claimed another member. Molly has moved to a new site. I'm sure Kevin will be pleased to add another name to the list.
Only this time, it wasn't Dowd herself, but Dowd-wannabe John W. Porter
of the Portland (ME) Press-Herald. This from yesterday's piece (hat tip: James Taranto) first misquotes Justice Antonin Scalia, and then engages in the very bigotry of which he accused Scalia.
What sets the issue off so well is what he adds just a few paragraphs later. "Let me be clear that I have nothing against homosexuals," he says.
Actually, no, not really.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is not happy with the ruling in Lawrence v. Texas, which struck down anti-sodomy laws in Texas and 12 other states. Neither am I. My views on the matter are pretty well summed up by Clarence Thomas's brief dissenting opinion, which reads as follows:
I join Justice Scalia's dissenting opinion. I write separately to note that the law before the Court today "is … uncommonly silly." Griswold v. Connecticut, 381 U.S. 479, 527 (1965) (Stewart, J., dissenting). If I were a member of the Texas Legislature, I would vote to repeal it. Punishing someone for expressing his sexual preference through noncommercial consensual conduct with another adult does not appear to be a worthy way to expend valuable law enforcement resources.
Notwithstanding this, I recognize that as a member of this Court, I am not empowered to help petitioners and others similarly situated. My duty, rather, is to "decide cases 'agreeably to the Constitution and laws of the United States.'" Id., at 530. And, just like Justice Stewart, I "can find [neither in the Bill of Rights nor any other part of the Constitution a] general right of privacy," ibid., or as the Court terms it today, the "liberty of the person both in its spatial and more transcendent dimensions," ante, at 1.
Daniel Weintraub of the Sacramento Bee recently reported on Secretary of State Kevin Shelley's latest Stupid SOS Trick, which consists of discouraging counties from counting recently-submitted petition signatures. Left unchecked, will likely delay the recall vote until March, to coincide with what will be for all intents and purposes a Democrat-only primary. This is not the first sleazy and illegal stunt Shelley has pulled in connection with the recall. His original Stupid SOS Trick involved frivolous, last-minute rejections of proposed petition forms on hypertechnical grounds.
Weintraub draws an unfortunate and unfair parallel to former Florida SOS Katherine Harris, however:
This is looking more like a mirror image of Florida every day. Instead of a Republican Secretary of State fighting to slow a recount and elect a Republican president, we have a Democratic Secretary of State acting to slow a signature count to prevent the recall of a Democratic governor.
Um … no. Contrary to Democrat lore, Florida law does not provide for the endless recounts sought by Al Gore. It does, however, provide for certification of the vote total on a relatively short schedule, to which Harris adhered until the Florida Supreme "Court" ordered her not to. If Harris did anything wrong at all, as Sore-Loserman Democrats maintain, it was in her overly strict adherence to the relevant Florida statutes as written, not in any attempt to circumvent them. This does not merit any comparison at all to what Kevin Shelley is doing now, which (as Weintraub rightly notes) is to encourage counties to ignore the law.
In hexadecimal, that is.
Last night, during a business trip, two co-workers dragged me to see The Hulk. It had to be one of the most dreadful flicks I've ever seen. In fact, it was so bad that rather than recommend no one see it, I actually recommend that you do see it. Not in the theater, of course; wait till it comes out on DVD, then rent it for a weekend. It is the perfect film to watch at 2:30 a.m. with a group of friends who have consumed at least six beers each, and have gotten giddy from the combination of fatigue and inebriation. At that point, you will enjoy the movie, in a Mystery Science Theater kind of way.
Those nice people who tried to outlaw the VCR, the Recording Industry Association of America, are now threatening to sue individuals for using Kazaa. No word on whether or not they are also going to sue people who make tapes for their friends.
Here's a thoughful op-ed piece on the topic. The only thing I would have done differently is to take on the RIAA's "copying-as-theft" canard head-on.
This cartoon by Stuart Carlson (hat tip: Sasha Volokh and this article by Maureen Dowd (hat tip: Andrew Sullivan) repeat the tired meme that any blacks who have personally benefitted from affirmative racism – or, at least, can't prove that they didn't – should not be allowed to argue against affirmative racism on the merits. Yawn.
Many of us "right-thinkers" (as opposed to Monty Python's wrong-thinkers) have long argued against such shallow "it's all about me" reasoning, both on affirmative action and on other controversial issues such as gun control. Given the persistence of a Really Important Columnists continuing to use this non-argument in a Really Important Newspaper, it seems that our complaints may have fallen on deaf ears.
So now may be the time for us anti-discrimination folk to switch gears and fight fire with fire. From now on, as long as members of the groups ostensibly helped by affirmative action are not allowed to hold opinions critical of affirmative action, members of the groups harmed by affirmative action should no longer be allowed to support it. That will fix Grutter v. Bollinger in a jiffy. Even if we were to pretend that affirmative action benefits white women generally (which it doesn't), or that it benefitted Justices O'Connor and Ginsburg personally (which it probably did, at least as to their Supreme Court nominations), that would still require Justices Stevens, Breyer and Souter to reverse their votes in Grutter, leaving a comfortable 6-3 majority in favor of the colorblindness standard.
To save you the pain of wading through an entire Dowd column, here's the money quote (which, in the interest of space, I've dowdified for you):
I … come across as an angry, bitter, self-pitying victim.
UPDATE: Looky here: this wanker lacked the guts to respond to my message directly, replying instead to a mail list he probably assumed I would never see. His "argument?" To ignore the merits of everything I said and accuse me of racism. What else?
Then again, maybe I shouldn't fault proponents of affirmative racism for accusing their opponents of themselves being racist. It's not as though they have much else to go on. The only other option is to debate 11-year-olds.
UPDATE x2: Apparently, at least two readers on that list agree with my assessment of Viktor the Dimbulb. So all hope is not lost.
Congratulations, 68.4.189.#, you are our 10,000th customer in six months of this blog's existence. The blog is actually seven months old, but I didn't start tracking hits until the new year. So my apologies to the "real" 10,000th customer, whom I have no way of identifying.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Chone Figgins knew what he needed when he came to the plate in the ninth inning and was determined to get there.
Figgins hit a run-scoring triple in his final at-bat for the final piece of the sixth cycle in Angels history but Michael Young set off a fireworks display by reaching 200 hits for the fourth straight season to help the Texas Rangers beat the Los Angeles 12-6 Saturday night.
"I was going all the way," Figgins said of his strategy in the ninth. "If I could get a ball and drive it, I was going for three."
Young went 3-for-4 to join some exclusive company. Since 1940, only Wade Boggs (seven), Ichiro Suzuki (six), Young and Kirby Puckett (four) have had at least four straight 200-hit seasons.
"It's very humbling to be there with those guys," Young said. "This means I've been healthy and consistent, which are my two goals going into every season. It's difficult to put into words how fortunate I feel. I was really glad to do it at home."
Young reached the 200 plateau with an RBI single in the seventh. The Rangers recognized the feat on the scoreboard after a brief fireworks display, and Young received an ovation from the crowd of 40,196.
"It's an honor to write his name on the lineup card every day," Rangers manager Buck Showalter said. "His substance is his style."
Young was particularly relieved to reach the milestone because the Rangers could finally take down the large banner in the upper deck in right field counting down his hit total.
"Hopefully we can rip that sign down now," Young said with a smile. "I didn't want to make everything about me."
Figgins' cycle was the Angels first since Jeff DaVanon did it on Aug. 25, 2004, against Kansas City. Figgins also singled in a run in the second, homered in the fifth and doubled in the seventh.
"It's good but it feels bad," Figgins said. "It's hard to enjoy this with a loss."
Gary Matthews Jr. made another homer-robbing catch and Mark Teixeira went 4-for-4 with four RBI for Texas.
Figgins led off the fifth with a homer to pull Los Angeles within 6-3. The Angels tried to get closer when Vladimir Guerrero singled with two outs. Garret Anderson followed with a deep drive to right-center but Matthews leaped at the wall and made a spectacular catch.
Matthews has come up with a series of circus catches this season, including an over-the-wall grab on July 1 that denied a home run bid by Houston's Mike Lamb and has become a highlight-reel staple.
"When (Anderson) hit it, I didn't think he got all of it. I thought the ball was going to end up on the warning track," Matthews said. "Then I realized it was going deeper so I had to spin to adjust."
Matthews' teammates have grown used to his standout defense in center.
"He's been doing it all year," Young said. "It's the same story. He definitely deserves a Gold Glove. He can run down any ball hit to the outfield."
Adam Eaton (6-4) gave up four runs and 11 hits in 6 2/3 innings for Texas.
The Angels fell six games behind first-place Oakland in the AL West and 7 ½ games behind the Minnesota Twins in the AL wild-card race.
"There's not much encouragement you can take from a game you lose 12-6," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We swung the bats a little better but we need to win ball games. This thing can change in a heartbeat."
Angels starter John Lackey (11-11) lasted only four innings, allowing six runs and 10 hits.
"It just got kind of rolling downhill and I couldn't stop it," Lackey said.
The Rangers jumped on Lackey for a four-run first before he was able to register an out. Carlos Lee hit a run-scoring double, Teixeira and Mark DeRosa added RBI singles, and another run scored when third baseman Maicer Izturis committed a fielding error on Hank Blalock's grounder.
Los Angeles answered in the second on Mike Napoli 's run-scoring double and Figgins' RBI single to make it 4-2.
But Texas stretched its lead to 6-2 in the fourth on Teixeira's RBI double and Lee's run-scoring single.
In the seventh, Gerald Laird scored from third on a wild pitch by Chris Bootcheck, Young and Teixeira added RBI singles, and another run scored on Lee's double play to push the Rangers' lead to 12-4.
- Figgins is the fifth player to hit for the cycle for the Angels. Jim Fregosi did twice (1964, 1968).
- Lackey has lost five of his last six decisions.
- Los Angeles had a season-high five errors, giving them a league-high 116.
- Bootcheck was unable to retire any of the five batters he faced in the seventh, allowing four runs and four hits.
- Joaquin Arias had his first major league hit in his first official major league at-bat for Texas, an eighth-inning pinch-hit single.

text: Posted July 2, 2012 I look at what the Nets are doing and I think its very smart. Deron/Gerald/Howard would be a heck of a trio. Really? There's no guarantee that any of those three will be there next season. But, being in Brooklyn, they can afford to take gambles like that. If the Bobcats did that, the results would be catastrophic for the franchise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johnston Press announced the appointment of a new non-executive director yesterday, Kjell Aamot.
The company explained that Aamot was chief executive of the Norwegian publisher, Schibsted, for 20 years until 2009 and had been responsible for "transforming it from a family-owned business to an international multi-media company."
His current positions were also listed. He is a non-exec at 20Minutes, the publisher of free papers in France, in which Schibsted has a 50% interest.
He is also non-exec with PubliGroupe, a Swiss-based marketing and sales organisation, and an adviser to FSN Capital, an Oslo-based private equity firm.
So is he, as the Johnston announcement said, "a tremendous asset" to a company that is weighed down with debt and suffering from a lack of investor interest?
Norway's excellent media blogger, Kristine Lowe, suggests that he might just be of immense help to a group that was far too slow to recognise the importance of the net (as former chairman, Roger Parry has stated).
In her posting about Johnston's new, controversial non-executive director, she tells how "he courted controversy on more than one occasion, especially when he as reported to have predicted the imminent death print newspapers."
She writes: "He later said he was talking about paid-for newspapers, not print newspapers as such as he still had a lot of faith in free newspapers... employee representatives in several of Schibsted's Norwegian paid-for newspapers were livid and accused him of prematurely issuing an obituary for print."
But Lowe also says he "highlighted one of the biggest paradoxes in Schibsted's business model by saying that in the future journalism will be paid for by car sales... As the company's revenues increasingly are generated from its online classifieds business we could see a situation where the journalism business is fully subsidised by standalone online classifieds operations."
She concludes: "All in all, a very interesting appointment indeed. Mr Aamot will certainly bring a lot valuable experiences and insights from his 20 years running a media company that earns good money online, a feat which seems to be the exception rather than the norm these days."

I am going to make a meat stock later this week, and my recipe calls for a "meaty veal knuckle" or two. What is a knuckle and what could make a good substitute?
Look for veal shank. The main thing for your stock is to get bones with a good deal of marrow. Knuckles, buy the way, typically need to be cracked, whereas the shanks are often sold in 2"to 3" pieces, so the marrow is already exposed.
A knuckle is a joint, like a knee or a hip. I think the neck with a front knee bone works the best. After you roast it for color, deglase the pan and boil with mirepoix, and your sachet. Start with cold water and simmer away. You could use any veal bone for flavor but the collegen comes the joints. I have used beef bones for stock but you cannot get demi from the older bones.
I hope this helps, this comes right from my "On Cooking book".
If your going for the gelatin, then raw pigs feet slowly simmered will yield a great amount of clear gelatin.
Best and I'm a foodie. I know very little but the little that I know I want to know very well.

Analysis from Radio New Zealand's political editor,
Brent Edwards
The aftermath: leadership contest and government deal-making
[30 November 2011]
Saturday's election proved the opinion polls correct and condemned the Labour Party to its worst ever result under MMP.
The consequences have been almost immediate.
Labour leader Phil Goff gave a dignified speech on Saturday night which hinted strongly he would resign. At Tuesday's caucus meeting he told fellow MPs his resignation would take effect on 13 December. His deputy Annette King is also resigning.
That has set off a contest to decide who will replace them and attempt to lead Labour back into contention at the 2014 election.
Labour first must determine what caused its loss and then decide what it needs to do to win back public support. Clearly the party lost support to the Green Party, which finally got over 10% in the party vote, and possibly some to New Zealand First.
More worryingly for the party is that Labour voters continued to stay at home and not vote, just as they had done in 2008.
After three terms of a Labour-led Government the apathy in 2008 is easy to understand. But the non-vote of this year is more difficult to comprehend.
Labour went into the election promising to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour, give low income workers a $10 tax break and take the tax off fresh fruit and vegetables. That surely should have appealed to Labour's more traditional constituency.
In the end, Labour might have been handicapped by a number of factors. Instability during its first term in Opposition - and former MP Chris Carter can take particular credit for that - did not help. Nor did a number of scandals involving senior MPs including Shane Jones and former MP Darren Hughes.
So the party and Mr Goff in particular went into the campaign well behind and with a lot of ground to make up. Despite running a strong campaign the party made up no ground on National. Indeed it slipped back from the minimum 30% party vote it had wanted to achieve.
As well, National campaigned strongly on the theme of stability.
Prime Minister John Key, who retains celebrity status, argued successfully that in these times of international economic uncertainty voters could not afford to expose New Zealand to greater risk by changing governments. He emphasised that point by suggesting Labour would need to rely on both the Greens and New Zealand First to form a government.
In the end people voted for a popular Prime Minister and a government which was seen to have managed the country through turbulent times.
National's policy to partially privatise state-owned energy companies and to reform welfare appeared to have no impact on its support.
Policy debate
While Labour was soundly beaten it has made what could be an enduring contribution to the policy debate in this country.
Phil Goff had the courage to propose some policy changes which even John Key, despite his immense popularity, refuses to acknowledge.
When, though, will the country be forced to address the question of raising the age of eligibility for New Zealand Superannuation to 67? While Mr Key argues about Nationals' fiscal rectitude it is clear the present age of entitlement is no longer sustainable.
Most countries are raising the age of entitlement to state pensions. Britain is now bringing forward the time by which it will raise the age to 67 to 2026 to save £59 billion.
Compulsory KiwiSaver and introducing a capital gains tax were all bold policies promoted by Labour but which did not gain any traction with the public.
National, on the other hand, ran a cautious campaign by comparison although it did take a risk with its partial asset sales policy. Being so far ahead in the polls, its strategy was to avoid mistakes.
Aside from National, the two big winners are the Greens and New Zealand First.
Winston Peters has hauled his party back from the brink of oblivion after being bundled out of Parliament in 2008. If nothing else he and his fellow MPs will make the next three years interesting.
The Greens will again face the challenge of making gains from Opposition through whatever memorandum of understanding they can reach with National.
First, though, National has to do deals with United Future, ACT and the Maori Party.
A National-led government is a given because ACT and United Future will support it. Reaching a deal with the Maori Party might be more difficult.
The party lost its Te Tai Tonga MP Rahui Katene and its overall vote was slashed, a sign its supporters are unhappy about its relationship with National. Will it do another deal and run the risk of losing more seats, possibly all three it currently holds, at the next election?
It needs to drive a strong bargain with National but it has only limited negotiating power, given National does not need it to govern.
Mr Key is paving the way for a possible deal, though, by saying the Maori Party does not have to support National's asset sales policy. That could be placed outside any confidence and supply agreement they sign.
On that policy he would have to rely on just ACT and United Future for support. If National loses a seat after special votes have been counted that would then mean a 61 to 59 vote in the 121-seat Parliament in favour of partial privatisation.
Not a strong mandate for what has been a contentious issue, but a majority nonetheless.

Fewer women in parliaments after Arab Spring: study
By Michelle Nichols
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Opportunities from the Arab Spring to boost the low number of women in parliaments are being missed, while globally the average number of female politicians inched up half a point last year to 19.5 percent, an organization of parliaments said on Friday.
Despite pro-democracy protests toppling leaders in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya, the Arab region was the only area in the world without a parliament of at least 30 percent women, according to the Inter-Parliamentary Union's "Women in Parliament 2011" study.
"Countries in transition can very effectively take advantage of reforms to guarantee strong participation of women in politics," Abdelwahad Radi, president of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, told a news conference in New York.
But he said those opportunities were not being seized in the Arab regions, where women made up 10.7 percent of parliamentarians in 2011, unchanged from 2010.
"On the contrary, we can even see setbacks have occurred, particularly in Egypt where the percentage of women parliamentarians has fallen from 12 to 2 percent," Radi said.
The report found that more than a third of parliaments with about 30 percent female parliamentarians are in countries in transition or emerging from conflict. Radi cited Africa's youngest nation, South Sudan, where the implementation of quotas had led to a parliament with 26.5 percent women.
Parliamentary elections were held in Egypt over the past four months, the first since the overthrow of longtime leader Hosni Mubarak, and voters headed to the polls in Tunisia - the birthplace of the Arab Spring uprisings - in October. No date has yet been set for elections in Libya.
While the study noted a "strong affirmative measure" by Tunisia that required parties to list women alternately with men on ballots, in practice because most of the more than 80 parties were competing for one seat in any one constituency it went to the man topping the list. Continued...

NFL Labor Issue: Everyone's Right. Everyone's Wrong.
Let's face it, nothing in today's sports world is cut and dry. The very existence of sports talk radio and blogs like this one is due to the fact that everything today is colored in shades of gray. The NFL labor issue is no different. I'll admit, it's been hard for me to get worked up about a fight between billionaires and millionaires. Something about the rich and the super rich squabbling over pieces of their nine billion dollar pie just doesn't sit well with me. That, coupled with the fact that I've never been worried about the NFL missing games has kept my care level low. However there's been a bunch of recent activity and I've taken notice. Thursday had been the deadline for the current Collective Bargaining Agreement (C.B.A.) to expire. However, both sides came together and agreed to an extension. They now have until Friday to reach a deal, or face decertification of the NFL Player's Union(NFLPA) and a lockout of the players by the NFL owners and commissioner Roger Goodell.
A deal may be hard to come by however, with both sides so far apart on the main issues. These issues include the owners wanting a higher percentage of the nine billion dollars in revenue and the addition of two regular season games. The NFLPA, headed by DeMaurice Smith, has been steadfast however, refusing to give into the eighteen game schedule without a dramatic increase in the health benefits their members receive in retirement. They've also refused to give a higher percentage of revenue to the owners without first being shown the teams' accounting books.
This is where the gray area comes into play. I have no problem with the owners wanting a higher percentage of the revenue. Costs are rising for owners. Stadiums, the energy needed to run the stadiums, travel, food, equipment, team doctors, practice facilities – these are all expenses coming directly out of the owners pocket, which says nothing of the cost of the players and coaches. With costs consistently rising, I can completely understand why owners would want more of the revenue money. We have to remember, not all of these owners are members of the Mara family; who took over their team from their father and whose sole goal is to put a championship team on the field. To most of these owners the NFL is a business and they need to make money.
That said, if the increase in money flowing to the owners is necessary, why not open your books to the union? Additionally, I agree with the players association that there needs to be significantly better benefits for retired players, particularly when it comes to health. Look, not every player in the NFL is Peyton Manning. That guy could contract the Motaba virus – Outbreak (1995) Anyone? No? – AND whatever the heck those kids had in Cabin Fever (2002) and still be able to pay his health care bills without thinking about it. Tom Brady? Not exactly checking his savings account balance if he gets a cold. But most of the players in the NFL are not Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. The bulk of the NFL are players that make the league minimum as the 5th string left tackle and have a career that spans less than five years (That's not to say that I wouldn't love to make the NFL minimum for five years – a reported $325K in 2010 according to Answers.com). When these players retire they have to deal with the lingering physical effects of what is the most violent game in the world and with players only getting stronger and faster the risk of long-term injury is growing exponentially – unless you're a quarterback, then you can pretty much play without pads, which is a story for another day. These players deserve to be taken care of after their playing days are over. I mean, come on, nine billion dollars buys an awful lot of tongue depressors.
As for the eighteen game schedule, I don't really see it mattering. The NFL is by far the most successful sport in the U.S. today. Will switching to eighteen games water it down? Probably not. Is it fixing a system that is anything but broken? Undoubtedly. But if the NFL wants this, they'll need to give the NFLPA an awful lot of concessions. A sixteen game schedule is taxing enough on the body.
The bottom line is that everyone needs to give some. Meeting in the middle is the only way to make a deal work because everyone is right in some respects and everyone is wrong in others. So sit down, put your big boy pants on and get back to what we all learned to do in kindergarten – Share. After all, is there really a loser in a fight over NINE BILLION DOLLARS?!?! Get a deal done!

Dragon's Renewal Dedication
Cost: - Mins: Integrity 4, Essence 3 Type: permanent
Keywords: none
Prerequisite Charms: Oath of Ten Thousand Dragons
Possibly the greatest strength of the Ten Thousand Dragons is their boundless capacity for teamwork and their devotion to their Sworn Brotherhoods. Whenever the character would normally recover one or more points of willpower from stunts or natural recovery, this Charm gives the character the option to recover two of the dice from their devotion dice pool.
Teeth of Ten Thousand Dragons
Cost: - Mins: Integrity 4, Essence 3 Type: permanent
Keywords: Martyr, Dynasty
Prerequisite Charms: Ten Thousand Dragons Fight As One
Dragon-Blooded know that even in death they are not forgotten, that their brethren and decedents will pick up their blade and resume the battle with renewed ferocity. If the Dragon-Blooded who knows this charm is killed in battle then a loyal companion (anyone with an intimacy towards them) or a direct descendent may literally take up their arms, forgoing the usual time and motes taken to attune to artefacts.
Notes and comments
First of all, yes I probably need to word these charms better!
Dragon's Renewal Dedication is obviously based on Phoenix Renewal Tactic and is possibly a little too similar, but the purpose is of course to encourage players to be more liberal with the devotion pool provided by the Terrestrial Circle Sorcery Sworn Brotherhood Oath.
I suggest adding that weapons don't even need points to be spent attuning the weapons for the scene and to raise the Integrity minimum 4. The first seems fine but I would change it to 2 points restored instead of 1. -BogMod

Reyes Faces Extra $8 Million in Income Taxes as Toronto Blue Jay
Jose Reyes's income tax bill could surge by $8 million during the next six years if his trade to the Toronto Blue Jays goes through, according to accounting firm EisnerAmper LLP.
The Miami Marlins, who gave Reyes a guaranteed $106 million, six-year contract last December, are working on a trade with the Blue Jays to purge $150 million in payroll, according to the Miami Herald.
The four-time All-Star's contract requires payments of $10 million in 2013, $16 million in 2014, $22 million in each of the next three years and $4 million in 2018, New York-based EisnerAmper said. The terms will be assumed by the Blue Jays if the trade is completed.
"If all the above facts remain the same over the remaining term of the 2011 Marlins contract, and Reyes became a Florida resident and remained with the Marlins, he would have saved nearly $8 million in total income tax," the accountants said.
The trade also would send Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, John Buck and Emilio Bonifacio to the Blue Jays, the Herald reported yesterday, citing a person familiar with the trade who requested anonymity.
In return, the Marlins would receive shortstop Yunel Escobar, infielder Adeiny Hechavarria, pitchers Henderson Alvarez and Justin Nicolino, outfielder Jake Marisnick and one of three catchers: J.P. Arencibia, Bobby Wilson or Jeff Mathis, the Herald said.
Multiple Players
After signing free agents Reyes, Buehrle and Heath Bell before the 2012 season, the Marlins finished 69-93 for last place in the five-team National League East, 29 games behind the Washington Nationals. They traded Bell to the Arizona Diamondbacks last month.
The Marlins fired manager Ozzie Guillen on Oct. 23 after their first season in a $515 million retractable-roof stadium. Miami hired former catcher Mike Redmond Nov. 1 to succeed Guillen. Redmond, 41, spent last season with the Blue Jays' Class-A minor-league affiliate in Dunedin, Florida.
Counting the number of days Reyes would be playing for the Blue Jays in Canada, EisnerAmper determined the 29-year-old shortstop would have to pay $2.1 million tax as a non-resident on income of $4.2 million in Canadian source income.
Marlin Savings
Reyes still owns a house he bought in Nassau County, New York, in February 2007 while playing for the New York Mets, according to property tax records. Assuming he is a U.S. and New York State resident taxpayer, his U.S. federal and state income tax would total $2.72 million next year, EisnerAmper said. That would be in addition to the Canadian tax.
"If in 2013 Reyes remained with the Marlins and became a Florida resident, he would save $800,000 in combined net federal and New York State income tax and the additional $134,000 Canadian provincial income tax savings."

Lord, for what we are about to cleave
Page Tools
The reality of a national divorce and separation rate of at least one in three has prompted one of Australia's largest churches to offer blessings for couples whose marriages are drawing to an end.
As part of the first reworking of its official liturgies in almost 20 years, the Uniting Church has developed a service of healing for those whose marriages have failed.
Other new services include the blessing of a civil marriage, for a newly engaged couple, for a stillborn baby, and of the family home.
The services mark profound life events and are part of the church's efforts to reach out to its congregations, as well as others who have a spiritual leaning but little experience of church life.
The Uniting Church is the third largest denomination in Australia and has more than 126,000 regular churchgoers.
Its new set of worship resources - offered for the first time on CD - includes references to the Australian bush.
Liturgies give thanks to clouds of budgerigars, flocks of magpie geese, mango trees and banana plantations, and speak of parched dogs lapping at the edge of bush creeks.
The service for separating couples is not meant to be a divorce blessing but rather a public expression of grief, regret, personal re-examination, affirmation and forgiveness, involving the partners and any children in an intimate ceremony conducted by a minister at home or in church.
The church considers marriage a lifelong commitment, but the new service acknowledges that not all partnerships last.
Neither the Anglican nor the Catholic church has a liturgy dealing with marital breakdown.
■ The debate in Australia about the ordination of married Catholic priests has widened, with a rival group of priests calling for mandatory celibacy to be retained. A crisis in faith and radical materialism, not disillusionment with celibacy, were driving the shortage of priests in the Western world, according to the Confraternity of Catholic Clergy, which represents 300 priests.
The issue is certain to be hotly debated behind closed doors at a meeting under way in Rome of the world's Catholic bishops.
The synod has been called to make recommendations to Pope Benedict XVI on the celebration of Mass.
Australia's leading priests' association, the National Council of Priests, says doing away with the centuries-old requirement of celibacy would reverse the problem of a serious shortage of priests.

Deerfield, IL, March 4, 2009 – The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) is concerned and saddened by the recent report of nervous system tumors that developed in a child who had previously received injections of cell preparations referred to as "neural stem cells." This illustrates the concerns that prompted the ISSCR to develop Guidelines for the Clinical Translation of Stem Cells, released in December 2008.
The article, appearing in PLoS Medicine (Feb. 17, 2009), documents the development of glioneuronal neoplasms in the brain and spinal cord of a child from Israel with Ataxia Telangiectasia who, against his doctors' recommendations, had received multiple injections of "fetal neural stem cells" at a clinic in Russia. No improvement was seen in the patient's condition, which is a rare disease that causes degeneration in the part of the brain that controls movement and speech. The cells that were injected were described as "fetal neural stem cells," but the exact nature of the cells, quality control procedures and evidence of safety and effectiveness from preclinical studies were not available.
The ISSCR reiterates that these findings do not mean that research into potential stem cell therapies should be abandoned. This case does, however, emphasize the importance of appropriate preclinical studies for both safety and effectiveness and the need to exercise extreme caution before stem cell therapies are administered to humans. It also highlights the need for disclosure of risks to potential patients and the need for those seeking such therapies to become fully informed about the nature of the product they are considering.
The ISSCR Guidelines for the Clinical Translation of Stem Cells provide a roadmap for the responsible development of safe and effective stem cell therapies for patients. These guidelines call for rigorous standards in the development of such therapies including stringent evaluation and oversight, a thorough informed consent process, and transparency in operations and reporting. The ISSCR once more calls for greater awareness and international dialogue to help implement the standards described in its guidelines.
"This is a new area of science and its enormous potential is well recognized by the public at large," said David Scadden, co-chair of the ISSCR Clinical Translation Committee, director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Regenerative Medicine, and co-director of the Harvard Stem Cell Institute. "What is less well understood are the potential risks and it is therefore of paramount importance that scientists, physicians and patients alike proceed with great care and adhere to the highest ethical and scientific standards."
The ISSCR guidelines provide information for patients and their doctors evaluating a stem cell therapy in Appendix 1, a Patient Handbook on Stem Cell Therapies.

In a recent encounter with another fitness writer, I had a discussion on the topic of compound movements for bodybuilding purposes. The conversation quickly turned into an argument and the person I was chatting with was very adamant about his ideology. He believed solely that the squat, deadlift and bench press were superior to all movements and every other compound exercise fails miserably in comparison when one's focus is to build the most lean body mass. He firmly believes that anything other than the big three are suboptimal at best.
We actually debated back and forth for 10-15 minutes before I exclaimed "I do not have time for this, I will just write an article to explain my opinion." I hate arguing and figured my time would be better spent writing about this very topic.
The Dogma
Everyone knows that in order to grow into a mass freak you must do deadlifts, squats and bench presses. If you cannot utilize these movements, you might as well take up badminton, go on a starvation diet and begin jogging 100 miles per week. Remember, only bench presses build massive pecs and squats are the only movement that will turn your legs into solid oaks. Oh yea, deadlifts are the only solution to becoming the genetic anomaly you wish to be.
While all of the previous sarcasm may sound somewhat comical, many still hang on to these beliefs with very strong conviction. I don't really blame them though, after all, they are most likely listening to the biggest bro's in the gym.
The Argument
He first tried to tell me that squats were better than any other leg movement. I asked "what is the difference between a leg press and squat?" It's essentially the same movement in a different position. The leg press is a viable option for someone who may have had previous ankle or knee injuries and has not regained their balance, flexibility and/or stability just yet. Heck, it's a great movement for those who hate or are afraid of squats and want to build lower body mass.
Then he tried to argue that bench press was the best chest builder "just because." There was no real explanation. So I said "what do you think about weighted dips? They are great for building mass in the chest." Then he replied with "you use a lot of triceps during the movement." No freaking crap! It's called a compound exercise for a reason. Your triceps are just as involved in a bench press.
Needless to say this conversation did not go anywhere.
The Truth
Back in the day, before the specialized equipment and fancy machine era, all they really had were barbells, benches, racks and weights. The setup was very minimalistic and raw. I like it this way, actually. The only reason they only performed the big three is because it's all they freakin' had not because they are more optimal than the alternatives.
However, nowadays the standard commercial gym is usually packed full of useful equipment. People could literally do nothing but machines to build their ideal physique. We are lucky to have such a luxury as this now provides a variety of movements to choose from, plus it provides options for movements that may better serve us granted we have an injury or shoulder impingement.
Ideally, when training to build the most muscle mass or strength, compounds are usually best when it comes to progressive overload. However you don't have to be indentured to the big three(squat, deadlift, bench press). I personally like dips for my main pressing movement and I prefer RDL's over conventional deadlifts due to my anatomical structure(also, RDL's just feel more natural to me).
The only instance you would ever have to sell your soul to the big three is if you are competitive powerlifter or a competitive athlete with a Nazi coach. Lyle even agrees.
My Philosophy
You should not be concerned with what the best movement is or what the ultimate routine may be. The truth is, they don't exist. Every exercise has pro's and con's. Every routine is lacking in some form or fashion. There are many ways to achieve whatever goals you may have in terms of body composition, strength or lean body mass gains.
I believe that compound movements(barbells or machines) are important for overall strength and muscular development. In fact I think compounds are essential for long term success but I do not prescribe the same protocol for every single person. We are all a bit different in one way or another and we all have different needs and goals.
Some of us have longer arms and the flat bench press may be a bit more dangerous for us than it would be for someone with shorter limbs. How do we fix that? We do floor presses instead. Some of us are not built to deadlift due to our lower limb length but may be built to squat and vice versa. We must do what works for us as individuals and stop worrying about what others say is superior or better based on their opinion.
My philosophy is simple, actually. If your explicit goal is to build mass, pick a handful of movements and focus on getting stronger for a planned period of time. If you ate well and are pushing more weight at week 16 of your training cycle, chances are great that your body composition changed for the better.

"Backcountry" tablet for marine use?
There's always a lot of talk here about use of mobile devices, android, ipad, etc for navigation and other sailing functions. How about this? Looks pretty neat.
Earl - Backcountry Survival Tablet
Earl: World's First Solar-Powered Backcountry Survival Tablet - ABC News
Pros: e-ink sunlight readable, ruggedized, android-based, low cost
Cons: It's not real yet, (but their kickstarter campaign is getting lots of attention now)
Re: "Backcountry" tablet for marine use?
seems like a sweet little tablet. I wonder if there is enough of a market for a marinized one?
Re: "Backcountry" tablet for marine use?
I read all of their website a few days ago. It isn't clear that ruggedized has anything to do with making it resistant to water.
Battery life is less of a concern to me on a sailboat since the boat has hundreds of amp hours of lead acid batteries that can efficiently keep tablets topped up.
The Sony Xperia Tablet Z (10"/Android/$500) which is waterproof seems like a more interesting option for a boat. I wish they made a 7"/$300 version.
Re: "Backcountry" tablet for marine use?
Only issue is that e-ink is monotone and slow refresh rate. I really like the idea of having an e-ink for books, but for video or moving images not so good. Might be ok for chart plotter, but not so good for radar or other faster moving images.
Re: "Backcountry" tablet for marine use?
If you want ruggedized google the "Griffin Survivor" Armored military duty case with stand. They claim it rainforrest proof and desert sandstorm proof and drop proof from 6' I have one for my iPad and it is quite rugged indeed.
Re: "Backcountry" tablet for marine use?
toughpad FZ-A1 but you're dropping $1200+ for one.

text: The Bark Buster/Unicorn as i understand it was banned after a guy had both arms ripped out of their sockets. Shoulda let go. That little crossbar was inadequate to stop the round from spinning. The screw type came back on the market in various sizes from Eastern Europe, where the simple addition of a platform removed much of the danger. If the original guys had thought of that they might still be in business. Around here 2-4 foot diameter rounds are normal, those little ones work fine scaled up with the table on the ground behind a tractor.

This is a simple game that allows thousands of choices and outcomes. You control a huge red robot and you have to save the Earth from the Evilish Blue Empire of Bad Robots. Everything is pretty obvious, unless the game rules. Luckily there is a wonderful tutorial before starting a campaign.
Every turn you have to choose among a warfare, hacking or power action. Warfare actions summon new droids to the battleground; hacking try to turn the odds of an ongoing battle in your favor; and power action means attacking (at last!) your foe, either scrambling them, damaging them, microwaving'em or whatever.
Spin the three reels then. The first turns slowly, so you can choose its result. If you get three of a kind, you will get an extra turn in addition to a elite class action (an elite helping droid, steal an enemy robotank, a Judgement Day laser...We're sure you're catching the idea)
We can say that this game is half wits and half chance, and that's why it's so entertaining. The campaign mode, where you look for nodes all over the world, gaining experience points and upgrading your robots is wonderful.
This game is just as Hexage Ltd has used us, if not their best. We can only recommend them to make more games like this with other themes, because it's strange that this idea hadn't been more exploited. What about mages and sorceresses summoning demons and casting lightings and fighting for enchanted places from all over the world? (maybe I moved a little, ahem)
If you run out of energy there's an in-app purchase. In the end, it's a way to help the developer, since you can play a lot without problems, at least until the final stages.
The mix of strategy and luck, plus its colorful and fun graphics make this game very original and, of course, highly recommended.

Robin Thicke Struts Through KIIS-FM's Jingle Ball
Photo Credit: Brian Friedman
Robin Thicke dressed to the nines when he strolled up onto the stage at Staples Center for KIIS-FM's Jingle Ball, golden microphone in hand.
There wasn't a foam finger to be found when Thicke's band kicked into his now-Grammy nominated hit "Blurred Lines." It's up for the award for Best Performance by a Duo/Group.
The song that defined 2013 - it even topped Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" on Billboard's list - had everyone in the crowd dancing and singing "Hey, hey, hey."
Even rapper T.I. went out to do his part!
Thicke held on to the crowd as long as possible by telling his band to give him 24-hit countdown.
He strutted all over the stage and seemed to take in his performance, which capped off a moment in his career that he will not forget: Being nominated for a Grammy and performing in front of a sold out crowd at Staples Center. What more could the guy ask for?

Do you remember eyeing a toy for your kids and thinking, "Wow! That's cool." That's exactly how I felt when I saw the Sportsstuff® Snopedo Snow Tube. Its vivid yellow, black and red color-scheme, with its large block letters screams speed. Made from heavy-gauge PVC with a cold-crack additive, the Snopedo features heat-sealed seams and heavy-duty oversized molded PVC handles. The tube's aerodynamic design allows it to be ridden in a seated or prone position. With a 170 lbs. maximum capacity, older kids can enjoy sledding as much as their younger siblings.
Snopedo has a safety value for fast inflation and deflation, which will make kids and parents happy. It also comes with a 90-day limited manufacturer's warranty.
Winter is barely a month old here. Our family is looking forward to speeding down the hill with some new snow toys this year. Why don't you check out PoolGear Plus' website and let us know which snow toy is your favorite.

Poem of the Month: July 2011
Witness to the execution
The seagull sits on the garage roof
And plays with the black glove,
Which has a life of its own
Flopping in different directions
As the seagull tugs at it.
Something snaps and it falls slack and loose
Like a puppet with its strings cut
To reveal a blackbird,
Whose neck has just been broken.
I watch in horror as the gull,
Yellow eye like an oily fried egg,
Tries in vain to eat his victim whole,
Sits back and makes great swallowing motions,
But it literally sticks in his craw,
That eye bulges
And he spits it out again.
And then with great lunges of his yellow beak
He drills
into the smaller bird's heart and lights,
Drawing out its guts like bloody bunting.
The emptied bird freed from
The pummeling of his torturer,
Lies like a discarded skein of black wool,
while the gull walks up and down the felted roof,
with the overweening vulgarity of an oil-state dictator.
Stunned by the violence, I sit shocked for a moment,
But it is as least over for the smaller bird.
I fear for the others in the garden
But they, caught up in an immediate world,
Do not still their song..

What the papers said…
Posted on: October 24, 2011
Opera North's new production of The Queen of Spades took to the stage last Thursday. Read what the papers thought of the performance here... 'Tchaikovsky's opera has had a good run in the UK these past two decades, but no recent interpreter of the Countess has explored this pivotal role to such rich effect.' Read more Financial Times '...Richard Farnes, whose grip on the drama, and the pungent orchestral textures that reinforce it, never wavers; nor of the chorus, whose crisp, assured singing is well up to the standard one expects at Opera North.' Read more The Guardian 'Opera North has flair and steely artistic nerve. It attracts loyalty from top singers. The orchestra is on excellent form, the chorus strong – in this instance boosted by a fresh-voiced children's choir.'

Crappies come in two kinds: Black and White. The two species may be distinguished from each other by the dorsal spines: the Black Crappie has seven or eight while the White Crappie normally has six. Crappies move in schools and range widely over lakes, impoundments, and deeper streams. They don't seem to mind turbid or cloudy water.
The limit on Crappie is a quantity of 25 in any combination of the following species; black and white crappies, bluegill, green and hybrid sunfish, longear, pumpkinseed, redear, rock bass and warmouth.There is NO size restriction.
Crappies will take a variety of natural baits, but prefer small minnows. Best artificial baits are Pinkies, streamers, spinners, small spoons, twisters, poppers, and high-riding hair flies. If using a cane pole, anglers recommend a long monofilament leader, one or two hooks tied near the bottom, and enough weight to get the bait down to the needed depth. Hooks should be No. 6 to No. 10, and line should be 2- to 6-pound test. With this gear, using either cane pole or spinning rod, try drifting across a lake in early morning or just about dark on any summer eve. Fish from 10 to 20 feet deep. If you catch a Crappie, anchor and keep fishing. Use a landing net because Crappies have thin mouths, which are easily torn. If drift fishing in the evening or at night, use pork rind, a strip of perch meat, or a bucktail fly skittered over the surface. If trolling try Flatfish or small spoons.

I've seen em while offshore in the hudson canyon in late october
The news said that they might be able to be seen in the tristate area.
I've seen them about 25 years ago up here in Sussex County.
I did go out last night to look, didn't see them.
iv seen tbhem before. early morning at budd lake. pretty cool.....
Couple years ago they were seen up and down the east coast as far south as Virginia. there was a whole lot of pictures posted on the web and hard to believe they saw them that good so far south. solar flares
ive seen them in the pines before
"Stand your ground. Don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here."
I've seen them in northern Quebec on a caribou hunt, pretty amazing. Our guide who was from Labrador said if you have native American blood if you whistle the lights would dance, well we all whistled (being part Delaware) and they danced, pretty neat legend

More Wyoming Schools To Get High-Speed Access
CHEYENNE, Wyo. - Many more Wyoming public school students will enjoy faster Internet connections thanks to a new contract the state has worked out with the CenturyLink phone company.
Gov. Matt Mead announced Thursday that 13 Wyoming towns and cities will have Ethernet capability installed for use in schools.
The towns and cities are Laramie, Rawlins, Rock Springs, Jackson, Riverton, Lander, Cody, Douglas, Gillette, Buffalo and Sheridan, Glenrock and Green River. Cheyenne and Casper already have high-speed broadband access.
Currently, 27 percent of Wyoming public school students have high-speed access. The contract with CenturyLink will increase that to about 75 percent.
Mead says he will continue working to bring high-speed Internet access to all Wyoming schools.

Postage stamps reflect many aspects of our lives. The death of a monarch, international congresses, philatelic exhibitions, wars, film stars, plant life, sporting events, political upheaval and revolutions, to name a few.
Of the many aspects of religion depicted on stamps, one of the most interesting is the encouragement of the observance of Sunday. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Belgium by the issuing of special Sunday Delivery Stamps Attached to the stamp was a small tablet, which could be torn off if necessary, with instruction in Flemish and French that a letter bearing this stamp and tablet was not to be delivered on a Sunday. These tabs are found on all Belgian stamps issued between 1893 and 1912.
The origin of this instruction is to be found in the Fourth of the Ten Commandments. "Remember that thou keep holy the Sabbath day…in it thou shalt do no manner of work…" With the introduction of Sunday postal deliveries in Belgium, objections were raised by many people who regarded Sunday as a holy day and strongly opposed this defiance of God's law. However, there was also a group who did not mind at all, the mailman calling on Sunday. This awkward problem was successfully solved with a compromise, by issuing special Sunday Delivery stamps.
If a person posted a letter and did not mind it being delivered on a Sunday, he would detach the tablets bearing the instruction "Do not deliver on Sunday." If, however, Sunday deliveries were against his religious beliefs, he would leave the tab on the stamp and his letter would be held over at the post office until the Monday.
Note: Stamps with tabs are catalogued at a premium.

OUR VIEW: Take a shake at sportsmanship
Thanksgiving 2012 has come and gone, the fall decorations have been put away and the Christmas ones are now out.
More importantly, the rivalry football games have now mostly been played and the postseason picture is becoming a little clearer.
While these games feature much in strategy, skill and bravado, they also sadly seem to lack any air of civility, and we find that troubling. What is more disconcerting, however, is that we see the coaches as the primary motivators of this behavior.
Certainly these men are under a great deal of pressure and we understand that. They do too. It is common knowledge that successful football (primarily) and basketball programs are the engine that fund entire collegiate sport budgets. Success is mandatory at the college level. As they say, failure is not an option. These coaches are usually the highest paid employees (by a lot) of the institutions that they represent and with additional income from camps, television shows and equipment manufacturers, they can readily accumulate great wealth. Visibility is huge in their efforts to sustain and recruit to their programs. Even at this early date some 12 Division I coaches have already been told that their services are not required beyond season's end. They have been fired.
We find it disappointing, however, that some of these coaches choose to exhibit behavior that is less than what a civilized society should expect. Turn on the television and witness any number of them making fools of themselves while berating their players, officials and game administrators during the action.
In what many may construe as insignificant, University of Michigan football coach Brady Hoke chose not to shake the hand of victorious Ohio State coach Urban Meyer after last Saturday's defeat. He considers it a nonstory and offered up some lame excuse about how it's "kind of hard seeing anybody after a game." It was a totally classless act that we note he does not repeat when he wins. Many would put this slight in the category with the silly name games that both teams play when they refer to one school as "Ohio" and the other as "the school up north."
Big game? Sure! Tough loss? You bet! But we should demand more — sportsmanship.
Sportsmanship should not have boundaries. Players live, eat and breathe with their coaches for what now has become year-round activity. They look at coaches as leaders, surrogate parents and the ultimate example in life. Many of those players will come to emulate the examples of their coaches in later years. Alumni and fans play off the coach's lead and the kids watching the game are impressionable. Administrators should make absolutely clear the idea that coaches are an extension of the faculty of their institutions and the behavior they choose to exhibit reflects on that institution and its ideals.
Sports in general and football in particular provide many values that translate throughout life's spectrum. Lessons in hard work, goal setting and teamwork manifest themselves in endeavors far removed from the playing field. We think the ultimate values taught, however, come from the codes of sportsmanship that maybe only a competitor can understand. Respecting ones opponent is the ultimate compliment to both.
Coach Hoke, shake on it.
