The family friendly version of the holiday classic will be
staged in Hudson Hall, on campus at 330 Powell Avenue, Newburgh,
All proceeds will benefit the Mount Saint Mary College campus
chapter of Habitat for Humanity.
Mount students recently worked alongside members of the
international volunteer program at the 50th Habitat house in
Newburgh, NY, the Deirdre Glenn House at 65 Courtney Avenue. They
helped landscape the site.
The Mount students will soon travel to Huntsville, Alabama, to
participate in the Habitat Collegiate Challenge spring break
project. Last year, 14 club members helped build a home for a
single mom and her children in Cookeville, Tennessee, as well as
volunteering in Newburgh. The club also conducts an annual Care
Packages for the Troops event and participates in other

mission of service.
Mount Saint Mary College was recently recognized for outstanding
community service by the Greater Hudson Valley Family Health
Center, and was named to the federal President's Higher Education
Community Service Honor Roll.

Visit Petra | Swim in the Dead Sea | Wadi Rum and the desert
Vast deserts once traversed by Biblical caravans and Lawrence of Arabia; frenzied urban shopping streets with families shopping for seasonal fruits and new threads; ancient, mind-boggling ruins, and an over-arching sense of mystery. Jordan is more than just sand.
In an arid land - areas of speckled shrubs are considered verdant in Jordanian eyes - there is plenty to whet the appetite. Culinarily speaking, Jordan is not a match for its palate-pleasuring neighbour Lebanon, but if it's culture, camels and the superhuman ability to float that you're after, this historical Goliath ticks all the boxes.
Petra: inside Jordan's wonder of the world
Swimming in the Dead Sea
Wadi Rum and the Arabian Desert
Intrepid Travel offers an eight-day Explore Jordan small group tour from £820 which visits Amman, Wadi Rum, Petra, Dana Nature Reserve, the Dead Sea and Madaba. The price includes accommodation, transport, some meals and activities, and services of a local tour leader. It excludes international flights. Book at www.intrepidtravel.com.

New law webcast today! I will be participating in a webcast today on the new Fiscal Cliff law and other recent tax developments. The webcast, sponsored by the Iowa Bar Association, will start at noon. I will join Roger McEowen of the ISU Center for Agricultural Law and Taxation, and IRS Taxpayer Liason Christy Maitre. Cost: $35 for IBA tax school attendees and attendees of any 2012 CALT Farm and Urban Tax School; $35; $75 otherwise. Agenda here, registration page here. 2 hours of timely CPE and Tax Update fun!
No good will come of this. The 2013 session of the 85th Iowa General Assembly begins today, and the outlook for improvement in Iowa's tax system is bleak. Iowa business groups have firmly embraced a state tax incentive policy based on taking money from all of us to bribe well-connected businesses to do things they would do anyway. From the Sioux City Journal:
Business groups like the Iowa Chamber Alliance, a non-partisan coalition representing 16 chambers of commerce and economic development organizations, are supporting a variety of tax credits to retain, grow and attract investments in the state. Those credits include restoring the $185 million cap on economic development tax credits that currently stands at $125 million for fiscal 2013.
Jason Hutcheson, chief executive officer of the Greater Burlington Partnership, said tax credits are a highly effective tool that deliver a high return on investment and are essential to retain, expand and recruit businesses and to attract technology and research. ICA members also are lobbying legislators to spend at least $25 million for business development incentives after the line item was shrunk to $15 million for the current fiscal year.
The politicians shed crocodile tears about just being forced to go along with a system based on them granting special favors:
Senate GOP Leader Bill Dix of Shell Rock said there is opposition to government choosing winners and losers with taxpayer-funded incentives, but he added, "There's no question in my mind that an incentive policy is the world we live in. I don't appreciate that and wish it wasn't the case, but we do need a policy that includes incentives."
You know what would be a real incentive to grow a business in Iowa? A much simpler tax system with lower rates, one eliminating the corporate income tax altogether. Something like The Tax Update's Quick and Dirty Iowa Tax Reform Plan.
Instead, Iowa has a horrible system built around complexity and high rates, made less painful — even lucrative — for those with the connections and lobbyists to score targeted tax credits. The legislators hear from those people — not from the more numerous businesses who quietly set up shop in South Dakota or other more friendly tax climates.
The best we can hope for from the legislature is prompt action on "coupling" legislation to conform Iowa's 2012 tax law to the federal changes passed earlier this month. The 2012 filing of many Iowa returns is on hold until they do so. We'll see if they can even accomplish that much.

Lou Reed & David Bowie make Billboard's Most Memorable Music Moments list
Listen to Lou Reed on iHeartRadio | Listen to David Bowie on iHeartRadio
Lou Reed's death and David Bowie's comeback are being cited as some of the most memorable moments in music this year.
The death of the legendary Velvet Underground founder is ranking seventh on the top 20 list. Reed's passing is paired with the death of country legend George Jones, with "Billboard" saying there's "really no way to measure just how important" Reed and Jones were to "their own corners of the music world." Reed died of liver disease in October, at the age of 71. The 81-year-old Country Music Hall of Famer passed away in April.
Bowie's surprise release of the single "Where Are We Now?" on his birthday back in January takes 14th place. The March arrival of his album The Next Day was his first studio project in nearly a decade.
Miley Cyrus and her multiple headline-grabbing moments has the top spot on the list.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
What's that sound coming from the Coffee District? It's customers arguing like a couple of guys from a classic Reese's commercial: "Hey! You got your wine bar in my coffee shop!" Despite being touted as a coffee joint, the district is a hybrid hangout that actually offers more kinds of beer than coffee — though there are plenty flavors of that too. In addition to 100-plus microbrews and a boutique wine list, the venue offers a line of signature lattes (mmm... toffee) as well as standard espressos and cappuccinos. It draws a mixed crowd, but generally speaking, early birds flock in the morning, laptop jockeys gather midday to suck off the free wi-fi, and hipsters come late and linger until midnight — especially during monthly beer brewing classes and twice-weekly poker nights. With sleek, hardback chairs, shiny leather couches, and chic décor, the place seems to actively reject a folk-hippie aesthetic... until open-mic night comes along or they throw an acoustic music fest.
They look so creepy that most folks won't touch 'em, but that's just fine — more for us! A langoustine looks like a cross between a spider and a shrimp that deep down wants to be a lobster — could be it's the animal that inspired T.S. Eliot to imagine a "pair of ragged claws scuttling across the floors of silent seas." At Bova Prime, they don't fuss around and try to make it pretty for you: These suckers are presented head to tail, with their tickly feelers fanned out on the plate. The langoustine is not a native of Florida, and you don't see it on many menus here. It's more precious than our lumbering stone crabs and slow-witted spiny lobster; these are the fairy folk of the shellfish world. Sizzled over charcoal and served with a tart green mache salad ($23), the meat in their little tails, each about the size of your middle finger, is as soft and sweet as a breathy endearment whispered on a deserted beach.
Two pretty, perky girls as cute as '50s pinups, Michelle Parparian and Amanda Watkins, have transformed a 1920s Florida cottage into a vintage clothing store with a cupcakery in the tiny rear kitchen — a kitchen known to turn out a thousand cupcakes at a pop for local events. But they're not too busy stocking bridal showers and tea parties to tend to your sweet tooth: Shop for party frocks, beaded purses, and wrist bangles first, then head to the back of the house for rejuvenation in the form of chocolate or vanilla cupcakes ($1.75 each) swirled with the dreamiest pink icing ever whipped up in a vintage mixing bowl. Along with these deliriously cloudlike cupcakes, they produce small, dense, heart-shaped brownies ($1 each) and vanilla sugar cookies with royal icing in dozens of shapes and themes. At present, it's best to call ahead if you want specialty cupcakes like black forest, red velvet, carrot, chocolate mint, strawberry shortcake, lemon drop, or orange creamsicle. But these marvelous mavens plan to open a full-service café in July, so all gratifications will soon be instantaneous.
Tiki-tacky Havana Hideout is what most South Florida dining looked like 30 years ago — a bar under open air and thatch, plus a minuscule, shadowy mouse hole indoors. Before we got gentrified and supersized, before the chains and celeb chefs from California and New York found out we were hoarding paradise, any Floridian could follow the path pounded smooth by many flip-flops to some joint grilling burgers and fish sandwiches. A guy would be mangling Neil Young covers on his beat-up guitar; you'd drink beer by the pitcher, passing scraps to the canine under your table (maybe your mutt, maybe not). Owner Chrissy Benoit is channeling our nostalgia, only updated with drinkable specialty brews on tap and a slightly expanded menu. From a catering truck sidled up to the outdoor deck, she turns out pulled-pork and Cuban sandwiches, fish tacos, nachos, pionono (think tropical shepherd's pie), and chocolate chili pepper ice cream. And just like in the old days, the only seasoning this grub needs is salt air and sunshine.
South Florida isn't a wasteland for quality 'cue, as some purists would have you believe. But we do have the unfortunate affliction of not having one place that sets the bar for the rest. Which is why New Times' Best Barbecue category will, this year, not go to one joint but several, each for different reasons. First up, the 50-year-old icon and 2008 Best Of winner, Georgia Pig in Davie, whose chopped pork, slow cooked on an ancient, open-faced stove, is the stuff of legend. Its infused smokiness and appealing textural variation (crispy cracklin' versus tender chunks) are only enhanced by the Pig's light and subtle vinegar sauce, also the best around. As far as BBQ's most sacred sides are concerned — those being collard greens and mac and cheese — Bar-B-Q Jack's are hard to beat. The collards, a perfect mix of sweet and savory, laced with pork-y chunks; the mac and cheese, moist and gooey, yet broiled for the right amount of crunch. Fort Lauderdale's go-to 'cue shack, Tom Jenkins' Bar-B-Q, does a lot of things well, but its slow-cooked brisket truly rises above the rest. And, in a scene where sickly sweet sauces still dominate, the moist, dry-rubbed ribs at Deep Down South BBQ in Lauderdale Lakes prove that SOS (that's "sauce on the side") is always the best option when 'cue is done right. All are good choices, and if you're willing to make the drive all over town to assemble it, together they would make one fine plate of BBQ.
It was a long, jubilant night with a crazy crowd. Let's face it, you got drunk — again. And as your head begins to clear, you want something different. Not late-night tacos. Not pizza, sandwiches, or waffles. Certainly not the drive-through you had a few times. (You always regretted that later.) No, you want... biscuits! Flaky, tender, warm, golden, soft biscuits. Just like Grandma would've made you if she had ever stopped drinking long enough. They soak up all that booze, ease the burn. Courtyard Café is open 24 hours on the weekends, and the biscuits get better as the night goes on. They're good smothered, covered, buttered, or plain. No matter how you get them, they come out split, fried, and steaming. Get two for yourself or buy the table a dozen. The trick here: staying sober enough to remember how damned good those biscuits were.

Any body out there have experiance with MD Anderson Center?
Sure - do you have specific questions regarding MD Anderson? Or are you looking more for a general summary?
I have been a patient at MD Anderson since April. I am happy to answer any questions. I'm very happy with the care I am receiving there. They are on the cutting edge in every way. They share all information very freely, which I like a lot. No begging for test results or treatment info. All very quick and accurate.
They have a wide variety of treatments for cholangiocarcinoma, from chemo to surgery, to ablation therapy, to radiation to Theraspheres.
If I can help you, let me know!
Violarob in Texas
Dad saw a surgeon at MD Anderson and we were not impressed. They offered us nothing in the way of treatment. Just sent us on our way.
This was just our experience. I like the cancer center dad is at now. The doctors there were trained at MD Anderson. They are aggressive with their treatments. The Drs provide you with their home and personal cell numbers for you to call them with any concerns. And its true. We've done it many times and Dr B always answers the phone.
It's the McKinney Regional Cancer Center
Thanks to all, Im now at MD Anderson and VERY happy.

A Summit County mother has been charged with child abuse after giving birth to a drug-addicted baby.
Third District Court records in Coalville show Shea Renee Sheeran, 27, is the subject of a $100,000 arrest warrant issued late last Friday. She faces two second-degree felony counts one for intentionally inflicting serious physical injury to a child, and another for endangerment of a child.
Sheeran, last listed as living in Kamas, remained at large Monday, the Summit County Sheriff's Office confirmed.
According to a probable cause statement, Sheeran gave birth to a baby boy on Aug. 29 at the Park City Medical Center. Toxicology tests on both the mother and newborn showed positive results for amphetamines and opiates, prosecutors allege.
"[The infant] began experiencing drug withdrawal symptoms within six hours of his birth," the charges contend. "Specifically, [the infant] experienced tremors, exhibited high-pitched screaming, was vomiting and had severe diarrhea. [The child] was also hypersensitive to light, sound and touch."
On Aug. 31, the newborn was flown to Intermountain Medical Center in Murray for treatment, spending the next several weeks in the hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
The baby has since been placed in an adoptive home. However, his prognosis remains uncertain, and prosecutors note that the boy "may suffer long-term complications from being exposed to control substances in utero, including brain damage and learning disabilities."
Prosecutors charge Sheeran admitted to detectives that during her pregnancy she took prescription Adderall and Clonazepam, keeping her pregnancy a secret from her physician. The defendant also admitted to having used cocaine and heroin while carrying her child.
Court documents indicate Sheeran was on parole from Utah State Prison at the time she gave birth, having served time for forgery and illegal drug possession.
Indeed, her criminal record dates back to 2003, when she pleaded guilty two third-degree felony counts of drug possession and a lesser misdemeanor drug charge, according to a search of Utah court records.
In 2006, she pleaded guilty to two counts of theft by receiving and one count of theft, all misdemeanors.
In a 2007 case, Sheeran pleaded guilty to third-degree felony forgery and misdemeanor theft, and was sent to prison for up to five years.
She was sent to prison again in 2009, after pleading guilty to one count of third-degree felony forgery.

Friday, May 21 2010 - Politics & 9/11
Debut of the Truth Party
May 21, 2010
This Sunday will be historic.
We are talking about starting what will soon become a major political force: something optimistic, smart, and savvy.
We will win elections. We will change the world.
As many of you saw from my blog, I have left the Green Party. But I learned a lot there, and it's time for a new formation.
All good people are invited to an experimental, exploratory discussion and
meeting, chaired by me, Sander Hicks, regarding the founding of a new political
party. The working name of the party is currently "The Truth Party"
but there's also been some discussion of that name, see below.
WHERE: Ukrainian East Village Restaurant, on 2nd Ave and E. 1Oth Street
WHEN: 6 PM, Sunday, May 23.
RSVP: sanderhicksdotcom AT gmail.com
I'm not talking about starting a "third party" or anything marginal like that. I'm talking about starting something that has great appeal, great politics, smart marketing, empowering culture, and a winning strategy.
The two big parties are going through twin identity crises: neither really understands what is going on with the global economic meltdown. Neither can tell you what they believe. So the GOP is doing this little dance with the Tea Parties, and letting unfocussed anger rule the day. Meanwhile, the Democrats have become the leaders of a bloody empire with wars too expensive to continue, with a dollar in decline, and mounting debts too big to service.
But our new party will be different. We are not going to be another "Left" sect. The Truth movement has taught me the power of organizing beyond the left/right divide. Now it's time to take those politics into a new realm.
The mission of the Left is still inspiring: expanding rights, standing for peace, demanding economic freedom, and ending slavery. We need to smash the bonds that addict us to war, deception, and the systemic waste of the US Federal Government. But there are some lessons too to learn from traditionalist, right-of-center politics: the Bill of Rights is great because it protects our freedoms from an expanding Federal state.

I created a MyBB forum today. It's my first time doing it so I'm clueless.
I installed it with Softaculous. I created the directory "forum" for it to be installed in. I can navigate to "mydomain.com/forum" fine and there's no problem, mys forum is sitting there fine. But when I just go to "mydomain.com" there's a blank page. I want "mydomain.com" to redirect to "mydomain.com/forum".
Then you should have installed in the DocumentRoot rather than in a subdirectory. PPPPPPP! (Proper Prior Planning Prevents P*** Poor Performance)
How do I do that?
It says the directory shouldn't exist as it creates it for you.
You could have uploaded the MyBB files to the root folder, rather than to a sub folder, that's all. Unfortunately, instructions in this sort of thing are usually very badly written and confusing, so you have my sympathy.
It's only giving me options to install it in the public_html I think. It's not letting me access the document root in my cPanel, probably because I don't have anything in it. Do I need to manually install it then?
Sorry, that's actually what I meant by the root folder. (Different hosts give that folder different names, but basically it's where all the files that can be seen on the web go. So normally, the index.php [or similar name] file in public_html is your site's home page.)
If you load all the files into public_html, you'll be able to visit the forum at mydomain.com.
Thanks! A couple more newbie questions sorry
I have all the files for MyBB ready to upload to public_html. Do I have to use a FTP program like Filezilla to do so or can I just use the upload feature in my file manager? Because when I last went to upload my files to the server via FTP (Filezilla), it didn't display any directories at all for some reason? I connected fine and everything but there was no directories being displayed to upload the files to?
And if I can just upload the files avoiding FTP by using the Upload feature on my file manager, how do I upload folders? I've tried making them ZIP files and RAR files but they don't act as folders when they are on the server.
You may not see the folder you created in the document root as your ftp user may not have the correct permissions to read the folder. In your file manager you should be to see/change the permissions. If you know what access your FTP user has been granted then make sure the permission of the folder (and any files and sub folder beneath) have permissions that line up.
You may also be directed into a different folder when connecting via filezilla. Have you tried going up the folder hiearchy to the top to see if your folder is located somewhere else then where your ftp dropped you off?
However you uploaded the files the first time should work this time too. You can set fileZilla to default to your public_html folder. It's a little hard to know what's happening here, but I'd be using FTP for this.
Thanks! I never thought about checking the permissions of the FTP users. I'll go try that
Thanks. I managed to upload my files via the upload feature in my file manager. I uploaded the .zip and extracted it's contents into a subdirectory it created called "mybb".
I'll see if I can fix it now
Thanks, its working fine now!
Ah, well you could just move the files from that mybb folder to the root folder. Presumably that's what you did?
Yep, just copied everything from "upload" right into the root
Thanks again for the help.

Democratic News
Washington, D.C. – Representatives of resource-dependent communities, the administration and leading experts on rural economics, voiced support for a plan by Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore., to strengthen forest communities in Oregon and across the country, in a hearing on Tuesday.
Senator Wyden laid out his framework in an Oregonian op-ed, and during the hearing:
"What we are talking about is pursuing this on a dual track: boosting timber cuts and providing a safety net that provides for schools, roads and police in resource-dependent communities and then our bipartisan coalition will also support reauthorizing the [Secure Rural Schools] payment program while looking for a long-term solution that understands we have to increase our timber harvest, look for jobs in communities that abut federal lands and federal waters and protect our environmental heritage," Wyden said.
Recognizing that counties face decisions this spring about closing schools and funding law-enforcement, Senator Wyden and Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., have pledged to extend Secure Rural Schools for at least a year, while Wyden and other Energy and Natural Resources Committee members work to move a long-term solution through Congress.
During the hearing, which focused on the Secure Rural Schools and Payments in Lieu of Taxes programs, a range of witnesses expressed support for the program, and Senator Wyden's approach:
Mark Haggerty, Headwaters Economics Policy Analyst: "Exposure to boom-bust commodity cycles is a constant hazard for remote rural counties in the West. By reforming county payment programs to focus on the long-term security of funding for basic government services, Congress can help create a buffer against this hazard."
Paul Pearce, President, National Forest Counties and Schools Coalition: "We agree with the Chairman who said in a recent article 'A short-term extension [of SRS] is not a long-term solution for these communities. We've got to get our people back to work in the woods, for example. We have got to increase the number of jobs in resource-dependent communities where there's federal lands and federal water. We believe that can be done consistent with protecting our environmental values.'
Our mission statement and Principles for Legislation (attached) echoes that sentiment; Long-term economic vitality must include legislation requiring active sustainable forest management to achieve resilient forest lands managed by the US Forest Service and ... the Bureau of Land Management."
U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell: "By actively engaging community members in recommending projects, the Forest Service has seen a significant decrease in appeals and a dramatic increase in successful long-term collaboration," Tidwell said.
"The Secure Rural Schools Program has successfully strengthened rural economies and developed important collaborative working relationships between the Forest Service and partners," he continued later.

Hyungjin worked on a team with other UAH students to develop a competitive business plan and presentation for their project MAPTIN, a mobile-friendly website where users can filter university events by day, time, and category on an interactive campus map that is also a timeline. All event participants had the chance to speak with club members and hear about their ideas before they chose to join a team project. Then, over the course of two days each group created a detailed business plan, which was edited several times by group members with the help of a mentor. The final judging required a formal presentation of the proposed project along with the completed plan. Hyungjin chose to join the MAPTIN team because he felt the group leaders Carl and Adam Holden had made a good case for a project that was both realistic and useful. Hyungjin said that although he was the only international student to join the team and the project really tested his English ability, his group made him feel completely comfortable, and they assigned him plenty of work. He affirmed that it was a beneficial experience and one that he would definitely repeat. Cooking Up Cosplay "E-Launch" Business Plan Xiaofen Su ILC student Xiaofen Su also participated in the E-Launch event on Oct. 5-7, 2012. She joined a different team called "Cooking Up Cosplay" where she helped develop the company business plan described below: Company Overview Cooking Up Cosplay is a new company that will startup in June of 2013. It will be located in Las Vegas, Nevada. It will offer a range of food, entertainment, and merchandise for sale. Cooking Up Cosplay will sell food that will be based off of specific anime or manga. The food will not always be from the same country. The entertainment is varied but the main attraction will be the waiters and waitresses dressed up as specific characters. They will sometimes do skits and dance through the restaurant. The area where the waiters and waitresses do their skits will be open for children to play when a skit is not being performed. A few TVs will be set up so you may view clips from the anime you are eating from. Some cocktails and light alcohol will be available for sale as well.

CHICAGO -- Graphic artist and noted pinball designer Python Vladimir Anghelo died on April 9 after a three-year battle with cancer. He was 61.
Born in Transylvania, Romania, where he studied art and animation, Anghelo immigrated to the U.S. while a teen, eventually landing a job at Disney Studios. He left Disney, taking a significant pay cut in 1979, to work for Williams Electronics.
During his 15-year career at Williams, Anghelo worked on some of the company's best-known and beloved pins, including Taxi, Jokerz and Pin*Bot, as well as videogames like Joust and Sinistar. He was reportedly thrilled in 1992 when Madonna provocatively posed for photographer Steven Meisel atop his Taxi pin for her book Sex.
Leaving Williams in the mid-1990s over creative differences surrounding his proposed pin The Pinball Circus, Anghelo briefly joined Capcom, where he developed Flipper Football, until that firm's eventual closing. He would later go on to work for Bay Tek, a redemption game maker.

RADNOR, Pa. – After a slow start, the No. 5 Cabrini College men's lacrosse team found its stride, opening the 2013 season with an 18-12 win over the visiting Haverford College Fords. Junior Corey Elmer led the Cavaliers with a career day, totaling nine points on four goals and five assists. Sophomore Mike Leyden tallied a career high four goals, while four Cavaliers added three points each.
The Blue and White fell behind early as the Ford notched the game's first two goals in the game's opening 3:18. Sophomore Ethan Heisman scored the Cavaliers' first goal of 2013 at the 6:28 mark. Just under two minutes later, fellow sophomore Anthony DiSanzo evened the score at 2-2. Another pair of Haverford goals came 28 seconds apart to rebuild a two goal advantage. Cabrini goals by sophomore Ben Laffoon and DiSanzo in the final minute of the opening quarter leveled the score at 4-4 after the opening 15 minutes.
The Cavaliers took control of the game in the second quarter, outscoring the Fords 7-1. Leyden broke the tie with his first goal of the day just 1:42 into the period. A Haverford tied the score before the Blue and White ran off six unanswered goals. Leyden found the net at 6:33 and 5:49 of the second quarter before junior Joey Shallow scored his first goal with 4:16 left in the half.
Leyden recorded his fourth goal of the quarter with 3:16 on the clock, extending Cabrini's lead to 9-5. Senior Bobby Thorp added his first goal of the season with 2:52 to play. The Blue and White put an exclamation on the period when Elmer scored his first of the season just 24 seconds before the halftime break, sending Cabrini into the break leading 11-5.
Haverford tallied the first goal of the second half, but one minute later sophomore Damian Sobieski got the goal back with his first of 2013. A pair of Fords goals chipped away at the Blue and White advantage, cutting the lead to 12-8 with seven minutes remaining in the third period. Elmer added his second of the day at the 6:45 mark but the Fords controlled the subsequent face-off and turned it into a goal 10 seconds later. Elmer and Sobieski returned to the net late in the quarter to extend the Cavaliers lead back to six goals at 15-9 after three quarters.
Again, Haverford scored the period's first tally. The Cavaliers responded five minutes later when senior Andrew Layne scored his first of the season. After a Fords goal, Elmer's fourth score of the afternoon put Cabrini up 17-11 with just under five minutes to play. Two minutes later Thorp's second goal of the day closed the scoring for the Blue and White.
Thorp, Sobieski and DiSanzo each added an assists to their two goals on the day. Shallow served a pair of helpers with his goal. Laffoon and Layne also added an assist to their goals in the win.
Senior goaltender Erick Zarzecki posted 14 saves in the victory.
Senior Henry Milson led the Fords (0-1) with four points on two goals and two assists. Junior Christian Clay and sophomore Geoff Geppert added three goals each. Freshman goaltender Eric Caliendo recorded a dozen saves for Haverford.
The Cavaliers will hit the road for four consecutive games beginning Wednesday, February 27 when they visit Carlisle, Pa. to face No. 8 Dickinson College (2-0). Game time is scheduled for 4:00 p.m.

Three Tornados score double-digits in 59-54 win over Young HarrisNovember 23, 2010
Lindsay Brendle, Holli Flippo, and Candice Fritz were each in double-figures in the win
Young Harris, Ga. - Lindsay Brendle (High Point, N.C.) continued her offensive dominance by leading all scorers in the Tornados win over the Young Harris Mountain Lions on Tuesday night. Brendle was able to put up 15 in the victory. With the 59-54 win over Young Harris, the Brevard College women's basketball team improves to a 2-3 mark on the season.
Brendle opened up the scoring with a three-pointer in the first minute of play giving the Tornados an early 3-0 lead over the Mountain Lions. Young Harris was able to come back with four points of their own, giving them a 4-3 edge. The one-point lead was the only lead that the Mountain Lions held the entire contest as the Tornados went on a seven point run to put them up by six. The Tornados continued to pour it on as they went up by as many as 17 in the first half of play when they led by a score of 32-15 with 4:39 remaining in the half. Young Harris was able to come back with six points before the end of the half cutting into Brevard's lead. The Tornados lead was 11 at half as they led 32-21 at the break.
Brendle was able to score 12 of her 15 points in the first half of play. She went 4-for-4 from the field with a pair of three-pointers. She was also 2-for-2 from the free throw line in the first half. Candice Fritz (North East, MD) was 4-for-6 from the field in the first half with eight points. The Tornados shot 50% from the field in the first half going 13-for-26 with a 40% three-point percentage as they shot 4-for-10 from beyond the arc.
The Tornados and Mountain Lions traded baskets back and forth throughout much of the second half as Brevard was able to take their lead to as many as 16 in the second half but the Mountain Lions were able to claw back into the game through the final 10 minutes of play.
Brevard led by 15 with 8:26 remaining and Young Harris was able to take the Tornados to the wire. The Mountain Lions' LaDondra Johnson was able to hit a layup cutting the lead to 13. Breanna Gleeson hit a three-point basket following a turnover by Fritz making it a 10-point game with 7:27 remaining. The next time down the floor the Tornados took a 12-point lead when Fritz was fouled and hit both free ones. Young Harris was able to cut the lead to nine following a free throw by Nikki Winn and a jump shot by Johnson with 3:43 left in the game. Fritz was able to make the lead double-digits again when she hit a jumper with 3:03 remaining. Young Harris was able to come within five points in the final three minutes but the Tornados defense was able to outlast the Mountain Lions.
Brendle led Brevad with 15 points while Fritz was able to drop 14 of her own in the Tornados second win of the season. Brendle leads the Tornados, averaging 13.4 points per game, while Fritz is averaging 10.4 points per game. Fritz was also able to pull down eight rebounds in the game and leads Brevard with 5.8 boards per game. Holli Flippo (Kingston Springs, Tenn.) was able to score double-digits by scoring 11 points. Micheala Watkins (Forest City, N.C.) scored eight points and led the Tornados defensively with five steals. Watkins is now averaging 4.4 steals per game. Anna Schlobohm (Greensboro, N.C.) was able to pick the Mountain Lions' pockets on five occasions as well.
The Tornados head to Salisbury, N.C. on Friday to take on the Barton College Bulldogs in the Catawba Classic. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. at Goodman Gymnasium. You can listen to Dwayne Summers and Seth Montgomery make the call on Friday with the pre-game show starting at 5:30 p.m. on 1240-AM WSQL or by going to www.WSQLRadio.com.

Keith Richards turns 70 on his 30th wedding anniversary
Listen to The Rolling Stones on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - If there's anything stranger than the fact that Keith Richards has lived to be 70, it may be that his marriage has lived to be 30.
Both occasions are marked on December 18. The Rolling Stones' guitarist used the occasion of his 40th birthday in 1983 to wed Patti Hansen. That's one way to avoid forgetting your anniversary, no matter what substances you might have floating in your bloodstream, up to and including your father's ashes.
Surprisingly, 30 years of apparent marital bliss is not a record for a Rolling Stone; Charlie Watts has been married for 49 years. But the three-record mark still astonishes anyone who likes to remember Richards as one of rock's wildest-living unclean livers.
"Thank God for Mrs. Patti Hansen, who has finally got her way and put me on the straight and narrow," Richards said in a recently published interview with Men's Journal. "I mean the proof is in the pudding: great kids." The couple have two daughters, Theodora, 28, and Alexandra, 27, both of whom are considered to have inherited their ex-model mom's looks. (Richards also has a son and a daughter from his earlier relationship with Anita Pallenberg, in addition to a son who passed away. Altogether, he has four grandkids.)
The "straight and narrow" part has been a function of Richards' life since he hit his head in a fall and underwent brain surgery in 2009, though it's not so narrow that he doesn't still indulge in drink and weed, not being the all-or-nothing kind of recovery adherent.

He did not perceive, as modern psychology does, that the period of supernaturalism is the childhood of the mind.
And the completion of the process means the death of supernaturalism in all its forms.
We teach youth to express itself in terms of supernaturalism, and then treat the language and the fact as inseparable.
They each in his own department broke the bonds of supernaturalism in the domain of Nature.
But, above all, this long succession of waves of fanaticism served to permeate the general mind with supernaturalism.
It is not by one voice or by one movement that supernaturalism is condemned.
My supernaturalism and firm belief in revelation are no less opposed to theological liberalism.
Carlyle was a Freethinker to the extent of discarding Christian supernaturalism.
The religionist denies this, and asserts that some form of supernaturalism is essential to the moral health of men and women.
The "Our Father" is a chip of the same old block of supernaturalism.

First generation BMW X1 availbe as a X1 28i with either sDrive (RWD) or xDrive (AWD) or the US exclusive I6 N55 powered X1 35i xDrive.

My New 2013 X1 - PICS & General Impressions
So here are some pics of my new BMW X1! (There are better pics on the web now as the X1 arrives but I wanted everyone to see the Midnight Blue which is causing MUCH discussion). It is an awesome color trust me and it looks NOTHING like the color on BMWUSAs website, thats for sure!
My prior car - I owned a 2008 EX35 Black exterior/stone interior. That car was good to me (I had it for almost 5 years) and it had a 3.5 V6 under the hood producing 297 HP. That gives you the context of some of my comments below. BEAR IN MIND I am a first time BMW owner so you need to know that as well to truly put all of this in the right perspective.
My X1 is: 2013 xDrive 28i - Midnight Blue/Black nevada leather, Premium Package, Technology Package, Cold Weather Package, XM Satellite Radio, 18 wheels, roof rails sticker was $42,895 (including destination).
Now for the feedback!
(1) Overall I LOVE THIS CAR! It is a FUN car to drive - I was pleasantly surprised at the zip and zoom of this car and the performance handling, so thats a major win!
(2) Look & Feel there is a lot of noise about the fact that this looks like a station wagon, or why is this a SAV etc. Ignore the noise it looks great and feels great! The ONLY comment I would make is that it is true that the interior touch is a half a step down from Infiniti (where the leather and plastics are softer or more refined), but I dont mind at all. It is fine with me. The interior of the X1 has impressed everyone who has rode in it so far and the technology (Nav & IDrive see below are just amazing!).
(3) Engine this is where I thought there be a question with the 4 cylinder but NO! The horse and torque of this baby has WON ME OVER. It zips around and has amazing rush-on-to-the-highway zeal! It handles great. BMW does indeed focus on the driving experience and so far that has just been awesome. No complaints.
(4) General Handling very solid and excellent around curves, side roads are fun, and highway speeds are great. Cruise control is excellent. There is a different feel at slower speeds to the steering, which I had read about and that does differ from my Infiniti (meaning it is a little rougher), but that doesnt bother me because it fits to the driving style of the BMW. I do NOT have Sevtronic, as someone might ask me, but I wouldnt want it.
(5) Navigation System amazing, stunning, and great! The graphics are top notch and the guidance system is excellent. I love it. A major upgrade from my Infiniti.
(6) IDrive I love it. It is simpler to use than other brands and more intuitive once you have used it three or four times. I find myself moving around it much easier now that I have had it for a few days.
(7) Gas Mileage so far it is living up to expectations. Ive already had to fill it once (due to an unexpected long trip I had to take over the weekend) and Im averaging 26 MPH with city and highway mixed in. Ive started to engage the ECO PRO on highway, so that is helping a little too. Im sure the stop/start thing is playing a role so well see what happens down the road, but this is SEVEN MPH better than my Infiniti on average! Im very excited that this will get up closer to 30 as I mix more highway in.
(8) General visibility this is going to sound crazy Im sure but the Infiniti had one of the worst blind spot situations I have EVER had to deal with in a car and the X1 has OUTSTANDING visibility, so this is a HUGE upgrade for me. That may not be true for others but I love the visibility for this car all around.
(9) Ipod interface I like it. You have 3 choices you can Bluetooth phone & and also audio, you can USB interface it, or you can use the mobile phone cradle (which costs $250 apparently). Im content with my IPhone Bluetooth connected for the phone and my ITouch in the USB slot (I get about 80% functionality that way including album art, playlists, etc.).
(1) Engine Start/Stop not a fan. They told me I would get used to it so Im sticking to it but so far not real psyched. It drives you crazy in stop and go traffic. And people, when theyre in the car with you, look at you like your crazy that you car shuts off and on at the worst possible times (such as a major intersection while you pause behind traffic). You can disable it, so I will likely do that more often than not. They tell you that it will save you 3-5% in gas per year but Im not sure its worth the aggravation. 5% would be about 900 miles (I drive about 18,000 per year) which is two tanks of gas or $120. I am confident I will NOT consider $120 worth this aggravation in the long term. So this is a major con in my opinion, but manageable because I can disable it.
(2) No rear camera (it is an option available but I didnt get it) few dealers are ordering any stock with the Driver Assistance package which I think is a shame. I didnt order my BMW X1 from a factory we interrupted one being shipped to a dealer in NJ so I didnt get every single thing I wanted, but this is the only thing I regret not having.
(3) Rain sensor Im underwhelmed here - as expected you have to do more work here than you should. It takes regular rain for my sensor to wake up and manage the movement and I find myself having to engage the wipers manually more often than not so far. Im also not wowed by the rear wiper so far. Infiniti had a better approach here.
(4) BMW Apps they have a ways to go here. The functionality is ok but not where you would expect it to be in 2012.
So there you have it! I would recommend this car to buy because it is an awesome answer for people who want the BMW at a more affordable choice with some storage and plenty of zip! I agree with others on the site here that you have to know what you want - so do your homework but this car is a hit for sure!
Very nice - congratulations! If the auto start/stop continues to annoy you, you should look into having it disabled. I've been told BMW has authorized dealers to reverse the functionality so the default is "off" and the override button activates the feature temporarily.
2014 Touareg TDI R Line
nice looking car! we went back and forth with the blue and decided on the mineral grey, so we'll see how that decision pans out next week when our car arrives.
good to know that you are happy with the engine and driving characteristics - it was a big decision for us to opt for the 2.0 versus the 3.0, but we decided to be responsible and put that extra $$$ towards an M5 down the line.
Question: apparently the dealer can permanently disable the engine ON/OFF... have you heard this?
congrats! nice write-up. a lot of readers would appreciate the unique perspective of a former EX35 driver
I've been driving rentals in Europe for a number of years with auto start/stop.
At first it likewise did annoy me and scare me. "What if it turned off at the wrong time?"
But over time I got used to it, and now appreciate it, and am very happy my X1 will have it too.
We'll see if I still like it when I pick up my car and actually drive it. But I suspect I will be happy with it.
I'd say give it time, and over time you will come to trust it.
Very nice. Mine is Midnight Blue also, but with the Coral Red interior, Sport Line (pics posted on this site if you want to see the difference). I agree with the start/stop but I am getting used to it. I did get the Driver's Assistance and it took a while to trust the back-up camera, but after two weeks, I rarely even turn my head anymore!
High speed
Thank you - I figured people would be interested to hear from those of us who are actually driving the car what it's really like beyond that first test drive from the dealership (which doesn't tell you a lot).
The highest speed I've driven the car so far is 90MPH mostly because I don't drive 100MPH as a rule. I'm in the cluttered Northeast so I don't get that much space to do that in! But there were no issues with steering at 90 MPH if that helps. I have also not experienced the noise issues other people have mentioned. Bear in mind that the roads up here are terrible so I think I would have heard it by now. I will drive without any music etc. and see if I notice anything but so far that hasn't been an issue.
As an update to my comments above in my post I still feel strongly that the start/stop is an awful idea and I will talk to my dealer about switching it to activate as opposed to deactivate. It's just too annoying and it makes no sense for the engine to stop when you're in tricky traffic situations (like trying to take a left on a busy multi-lane road). You end up feeling ridiculous more than anything else. I predict this thing will die within the next two model years. I understand the concept of saving gas but ECO PRO will do that heavy lifting for me.
Also, I do wonder about that high end MPG rating of 33. I just did a trip that covered 150 miles round trip. About 130 of the 150 miles were on open highway where I averaged close to 80 MPH. I watched my MPG indicator and I was comfortably over 30 the entire time. And yet looking at the trip computer and also the MPG left I only averaged about 26 on that drive. And after two tanks of gas I rated 26 and 25 MPG - with not a lot of city driving. So I have to wonder - how does one get that 33? 26 to 33 is a rather large gap. I wouldn't have noticed if it was 31 vs 33 - but 7 off that top rating when I did mostly highway for that tank of gas? It does make you wonder.
Everything else is great. I REALLY love the panoramic sunroof - that is a wonderful option that I highly recommend (I think it's part of one of the packages). It's well worth it. And I'm still having fun figuring out where everything else is on the IDrive system, which is just very cool.
I welcome other X1 owner's comments on the MPG item to see where they stand and maybe they have experienced noise or steering issues but I have not.
According to your first post, you have the xdrive aka awd. That was never rated at 33mpg. It is rated at 22/30 http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...fications.aspx . the sdrive(rwd) is rated at 33.
i remember reading about those xDrive 28is as well, and according to their owners they managed to get 33mpg. i just can't find the link at this point
And the sDrive gets 34 mpg highway according to the government.
In part, I ordered the sDrive since I wasn't that confident that the xDrive model was that close to the sDrive on the highway given the couple hundred pound weight difference.
Plus overcoming the intertia/friction of the all wheel drive system (i.e. extra gears in the driveline) probably accounts for some loss of MPG
I am planning to get one too

Leek & Potato Quiche
Serving Size: 6
olive oil
1 pound leeks
3/4 pound red potatoes – diced 1"
1/4 pound Monterey Jack cheese – grated
1/8 pound smoked Gouda cheese – grated
7 large eggs
1/2 cup yogurt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
A pinch of nutmeg
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Slice leeks thinly using the white and light green parts and discarding the tougher, dark green sections.
- Wash sliced leeks in cool water and drain.
- Sauté leeks in oil until tender, then drain in colander.
- Steam or boil potatoes until cooked through and tender, then drain thoroughly.
- Beat eggs with a whisk. Add yogurt, milk, and spices and whisk until thoroughly blended.
- Spread leeks, potatoes and cheeses evenly in a well-oiled dish or pan.
- Add the egg mixture evenly to the pan. Mix the ingredients together gently.
- Cover with foil or lid and bake quiche for about an hour. It is done when the top of the quiche is firm and springy and an inserted knife comes out cleanly (melted cheese is okay) and any liquid runs clear. If the top is not brown enough, turn the oven temp down by 25 degrees and continue to bake uncovered for the last 10 minutes.
- Let quiche sit for 10 mins to set before serving.

The woman accused of posing in decade-old photographs depicting child pornography suffered a seizure before her scheduled appearance in court on Monday and it remains unclear when she will be able to enter a plea, federal officials said.
Letha Mae Montemayor, 52, of North Hills, was hospitalized after suffering a seizure in lockup and was hospitalized, according to a federal court document.
Montemayor was arrested Thursday, just hours after authorities released her photograph to the media in connection with producing child pornography.
Investigators with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement received five tips on her whereabouts. Montemayor is charged with two criminal counts - one count of conspiracy to produce child pornography and one count of production of child pornography.
Montemayor is believed to be the woman who appears along with a still unidentified man in pornographic photos of a child dubbed the "Jen Series," which federal officials discovered in Chicago in 2007. The series has been recovered in the collections of about 275 other child pornography suspects across the country.
Upon her arrest on Thursday, Montemayor also suffered a seizure and was hospitalized.
Montemayor was identified both through her facial appearance and tattoos - a black butterfly on her right hip, a curled up cat on her right shoulder, writing on her left wrist and an unknown design above her left breast, all described in a criminal complaint.
The images show an unidentified girl, then between 11 and 14 years old, being abused by a woman believed to be Montemayor, as well as a man in his 40s or 50s. He is still wanted by authorities.
"Our investigative efforts related to this case are still very much ongoing, with the goal being to identify/locate John Doe and the female victim," said Virginia Kice, spokeswoman for the Western Regional division of ICE. "To that end, we are following up on a number of promising leads."
Meanwhile, Montemayor's son, Paul Tucker, told television reporters on Friday that while his mother was the woman in the photographs, she could not be involved in pornography. He told KABC (Channel 7) news that the victim's name was Kiki, and she had claimed to be an adult.
"When I had spoken with the girl way back when, when we were living in the hotel, we were being told that she was 18. That's what she had said to us, that she was 18 but she just looked younger," Tucker told KABC news. Tucker also told KCBS (Channel 2) news that his mother was working as a prostitute at the time and they were living in a motel on Sepulveda Boulevard. He also said Montemayor knew the alleged victim's mother.
"The story we had gotten from her was that her mother was prostituting her and that maybe my mom had gotten in a fight with her mother," he told reporters. "She said her mother had left her high and dry with a drug habit."
Tucker also said to reporters he did not know who the unidentified man in the photo was, but that he likely was a potential client and Montemayor was supposed to check him out before he paid for sex with the girl.
Kice said Tucker's claims that the victim was 18 do not match the conclusion made by a physician at Los Angeles County Medical Center who is a recognized expert on sexual abuse.
"In her professional assessment, the victim was approximately 13 at the time the abuse occurred," Kice said.
The Jen Series consists of about 40 photos that appeared to be taken in 2001 at an apartment in the San Fernando Valley, possibly in Encino - based on a calendar from a local business, a Yellow Pages phonebook and cable box that appear in the photos.
When they were discovered in 2007, law enforcement turned to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's, Child Victim Identification Program for help. The unit was formed in 2002 and has since reviewed 80 million images and has identified 5,000 victims, said Michelle Collins, vice president of the exploited children division at the center.
Victims of sexual abuse shown in photographs or films seldom come forward, Collins said.
"The actual image of the abuse is what keeps these victims silent," Collins said. "Not only is the child violated and abused, but the offender also memorializes it."
The ongoing investigation into the "Jen Series' however, has cast a wider awareness on child pornography and serves as a warning to offenders.
"The importance is holding an offender accountable for what they've done," Collins said. "It's not too hard to assume that someone who harmed a child then are harming another child now. It's also sending a message to offenders who are producing images that law enforcement is very aggressive."
Anyone with information that can assist in the investigation is urged to call 1-866-DHS-2ICE.

More from Zak Billmeier
In this short video, we'll describe the basics of deciding how much power an amplifier should have when you're trying to match it to your speakers or subwoofers.
Video Transcript
Ken: You know, one of the questions our advisors get a lot is "How much power should my amp have"?
Zak: That's a really good question. It's important though, before you start comparing amp power ratings, that you don't compare apples to oranges. There's two different kinds of power ratings out there: peak power and RMS power.
Ken: Peak power is what the amp can produce for a very limited burst of power. It's often the number you'll see on the box but it's not very useful. It's better to look at RMS ratings.
Zak: Yeah, RMS power is the measure of the amp's continuous power output. It's much better to look at the RMS numbers when you're shopping.
Ken: And if you really want to be sure about an amp's power rating, compare amps that have a CEA-2006 power rating. Now, this standard establishes specific guidelines for how the amp's power is measured. So amps with this kind of power rating have all been measured on a level playing field.
Zak: But once you're aware of all this you still need to figure out just how much power you need to drive your speakers. The first thing to remember is that it's better to have more power.
Ken: Right. You want your amp to be able to play all your music, loud and soft, without distortion, and be able to handle sudden changes in volume easily.
Zak: Yeah, and more power gives you just that. It's something that we call "headroom."
Ken: As a starting point consider the RMS power ratings of your speakers or subs. Match or better yet, exceed the speaker power ratings with your amplifier.
Zak: For example, to get that headroom, if you have a subwoofer that handles 200-watts RMS, power it with an amp that puts out 250-watts RMS.
Ken: It'll drive it cleanly and without distortion, especially when the volume is cranked and it'll do it better than an amp with less power. More power is always better. But we haven't talked about one of the most vital factors in amp performance: amp wiring.
Zak: Your amp depends on a steady supply of power to operate at its peak and that's why you should invest in a high quality amp wiring kit when you buy the amp.
Ken: If you use too thin or cheap wiring to hook up your amp, you're starving it of the power it needs to do its work.
Zak: Yeah, the bottom line is you're not going to get the performance that you paid for.
Ken: To see all the amps we carry, go to crutchfield.com/amps and be sure to check out which wiring kits we recommend.
Zak: To learn more about choosing the right amplifier, go to crutchfield.com/ampguide.

BOSTON (AP) — Authorities have identified the Philadelphia driver who was operating a bus that struck an overpass in Boston, injuring dozens aboard.
Massachusetts police say Samuel J. Jackson, who is 66, was driving the bus Saturday night.
The bus was carrying a group of high school students and their adult chaperones who had visited Harvard University. One person was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries and three with serious injuries. Thirty-five people were injured.
Authorities say the bus did not belong on the road, where a 10-foot height limit is in place and oversized vehicles are not authorized.
Ray Talmedge, owner of the Philadelphia-based Calvary Coach Bus company, told WCAU-TV that Jackson looked down at his GPS and saw the bridge too late.
Police say no charges have been filed. A phone number listed for Jackson rang unanswered Sunday.

This summer, Lafarge employees around the world observed Safety Month. Each plant organized events, open houses, and educational sessions to raise safety awareness among employees, subcontractors, and local communities.
At Lafarge's Greater Winnipeg Area (GWA) operations, which include ready-mix, aggregates, and concrete products, Safety Month events filled the calendar in June. Employees talked about heart attack prevention, ran in the Manitoba Marathon, listened to addresses from management, and celebrated their safety achievements.
At one event in Manitoba, Canada, activities ranged from fine arts to daring rescues. Pipe and precast employees enjoyed a barbecue lunch and a full safety agenda, including an address by Wayne Lyons, Lafarge's president of aggregates and concrete in Western Canada. Lyons pledged that the company would provide a safe environment and praised employees' efforts to practice safe workplace behavior.
Lyons and Mitch Schaufier, vice president for Lafarge GWA, presented a Gold Hand award and Leatherman tool to Jason Levesque, charge hand for the erection department. Levesque's gold hat decal will indicate that he is an experienced, knowledgeable, and approachable safety mentor.
As Manitoba's governing authority on workplace health and safety, Don Hurst, Assistant Deputy Minister of Workplace Safety and Health Division, commended Lafarge for its Safety Month events and safety leadership in the Winnipeg construction community.
The day's most dramatic event was a simulated, high-elevation silo rescue performed by the Winnipeg Fire Department's Technical Rescue Unit. During the exercise, firefighters rappelled down the side of a cement silo with a stretcher in tow to demonstrate the plant's accident protocol procedures.
Serious events
"They showed what would happen should a serious event occur," said Susan Kaplan, health and safety manager of GWA. "It should make employees feel more secure, knowing that if they get hurt, plans are in place to help them. Plus, having a team like that familiar with our operations can only help in an emergency situation."
GWA employees also unveiled a mural at the main entrance to the precast plant, dedicated to Lafarge employees and their safe work behaviors. "The mural depicts the safe work practice of pulling strand," explained Mike Hutlet, operations manager of the Winnipeg precast division. "The strand represents prestressing, potentially the most hazardous activity in the precast concrete industry. Although the result is a concrete product, the actual concrete pour represents only a fraction of the entire process."
The Winnipeg plant's activities were part of Lafarge Group's worldwide effort to become an industry leader in health and safety. In all, more than 3000 Lafarge sites participated in Safety Month. Lafarge has made a commitment at the corporate level, establishing a worldwide health and safety department that reports directly to the chairman/CEO.

Jane J. is 74 years old, retired, and lives in Florida. Over a period of years, her doctor noticed that her LDL ("bad") cholesterol was gradually getting higher. It began in the "near optimal" range, but three years later had moved into "borderline high." Over the next couple of years it continued to rise -- and was approaching 160, the classification for "high" LDL. Furthermore, she had a significant family history of heart disease. Her doctor believed she was "slipping in the wrong direction" and recommended she begin taking a cholesterol-lowering medication to help prevent heart disease.
What did you think when your doctor prescribed a pill to take every day?
I don't like taking medication and was dismayed that I would probably be on it forever. At the same time, however, I was concerned about plaque build-up in my arteries. Out of the 12 people in my music group, one friend has had a heart attack and two have had strokes just in the past couple of years. Furthermore, I used to work at the admittance desk in an emergency room and saw many people who had heart attacks. So I am well aware of the dangers.
I am suspicious of taking medicine for any little complaint. However, I see it as the lesser of two evils -- I am very aware, and so is my doctor, that my brothers and sisters have all had heart problems and I am trying to do what I can to prevent that in me.
And, the good news is that the medication did bring my cholesterol down quite a bit.
Other than medication, how do you control your cholesterol levels?
I watch my diet closely. I eat a lot of beans and vegetables. Drink only skim milk. I eat bananas and grapes, although I don't get enough fruit. I eat cereal with whole grains. I avoid butter. I eat almost no meat, no fast food, never fried food, and no prepared food. I am good about reading food labels, especially for the amount of fat.
It's not just about my cholesterol levels. I think a bad diet is responsible for many illnesses, so eating healthy can only help you.
It sounds like you are pretty conscientious about your diet.
Unfortunately, I eat too much chocolate, which is a major weakness in my diet.
How have you altered what you normally used to eat?
The main thing I successfully gave up was the amount of meat. Also, I found that vegetables taste better (after you get used to them) served plain without butter or sauce of any kind. I don't use much salt. Looking at a recipe, I immediately omit as much as 1/2 cup sugar, more than 2-3 eggs, sausage, mayonnaise, bacon, etc.
What types of exercises do you do, and how regularly?
I left weights 6 days a week. One day is upper body and takes an hour. The next day is lower body. There are many exercises I can't do because of a bad knee, so I add 5 miles (slow) on the bike.
Jane manages her cholesterol with medication, as well as eating right and exercising as best she can. She has cut a lot of the "unhealthy" foods out of her diet, but not all -- and that is ok. You can eat meat in moderation, or sneak some sweets, and still keep cholesterol under control. It is better to try and cut some things and look for ways to improve, than not try at all.
If you want to learn more about how to get your cholesterol under control, review step 6 of the guide -- Maintain Healthy Habits.

Bob from Australia writes: My OS is Windows 7. I am using Thunderbird 17. When I send an email a copy doesn't go into the Sent folder like it used to.
Answer: Thunderbird 17 is the latest version and is faster, more flexible, and has greater security features than the older versions. It offers many advantages over other mail clients, such as archiving, storing sent emails and junk mail classification.
First, of all check your broadband connection to make sure that is working perfectly. Most people tend to forget to do that. If your connection is fine, then check to see if you have set up the archiving files so that the sent message have been archived in the sent box.
There is no "native" ability that allows you to recall a message once it has left your email box to the recipient. It is a good idea to recheck your format folder, just to make sure that the HTML is working perfectly. If all of this fails, then with Thunderbird you may have to go deeper and try the following:
Backup Your Mail to Local Computer Hard Drive
Once you have configured the Thunderbird e-mail settings you are provided with a set of default local folders. These local folders are usually located below your IMAP folders, where your new messages are stored on the email server. Do the same with the SMTP server because this handles outgoing mail and stores copies of email messages sent out.
To create a new folder locally, right-click and create a local folder, then select new folder:
Give the folder a new name, and from the drop- down menu choose where you would like to store this new folder; make sure to choose local folders on the computer hard-drive. In this case select something like "Local Inbox Sent" as the name for the new folder to which Inbox sent messages will be saved. This way you will not make a mistake when coordinating the whole process.
Click Create Folder
Repeat the previous step to create as many local mailboxes as you need. You will see the local mailboxes you created under the local folders subsection. Click either the IMAP or SMTP mailbox you would like to back up, then select as many messages as you would like by holding down Shift while clicking the messages. Should you want to save all the messages, click on the edit button from the menu bar, then choose select – all.
You can then drag selected messages into the corresponding local folder to move them offline. Alternatively, if you would like to make copies of them to your local folder, right-click the highlighted messages, or messages to be sent and select copy to > click local folders.
Repeat these steps if you would like to back up more messages that are going to be sent, or entire email boxes.
Thunderbird has many guides to assist you further with its additional features. To find them, simply search in the search box, help menu or visit the Thunderbird projects website.

Provo • In the middle of negotiations for a contract extension, and with an entirely new offensive staff, BYU football coach Bronco Mendenhall opens his ninth spring football camp Monday with three primary goals.
The coach said Friday that he wants to strengthen the team's unity and work ethic, install new offensive coordinator Robert Anae's offense (which won't be as similar to the one he left after the 2010 season as some might think) and establish a strong, two-deep chart on offense and defense, defined roles that players can take with them into offseason workouts this summer.
Part of that latter goal includes solidifying roles in the kicking game and placing more emphasis on special teams than in previous camps.
Emerging from the four-week camp with a clear-cut starting quarterback wouldn't be a bad idea, either, Mendenhall concedes, but he says that might not be possible due to sophomore Taysom Hill's uncertain status as he continues to recover from knee surgery.
Hill is ahead of schedule, and "is going to be able to do quite a bit. But at this point, no contact," Mendenhall said. "The majority of non-contact things, he will be able to participate in."
Mendenhall said he has instructed the offensive coaches to view all the offensive players "through fresh lenses" and "as if they hadn't seen them before," so as to give all players, including the quarterbacks, as clean of a slate as possible, as far as on-field performance is concerned.
Those who have worked the hardest in the offseason will start camp at the top of the depth charts.
"Between the quarterbacks that we have, I would love to have a starter clearly defined by the end of spring," Mendenhall said. "I can't project yet, nor predict yet how that is going to happen, because of where Taysom is, and until we see how much he can do. That's going to be difficult, and so it might not happen by then."
Along with Hill, senior Jason Munns, junior Ammon Olsen, freshman Billy Green and freshman Tanner Mangum will vie for the quarterback reps at camp, although Mangum will leave on a two-year LDS Church mission shortly after camp ends.
Camp is structured differently this year, as the Cougars will practice Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The open-to-the-public spring scrimmage is on March 30 (11 a.m., LaVell Edwards Stadium), although camp won't end until April 5.
The every-other-day approach "gives us meeting times in between to make sure that each practice has a chance to be truly productive," Mendenhall said, seemingly tipping his hand that Hill is still the favorite to be named the starter. "That should help Taysom as well to get a little more time between practices where hopefully he can participate at a little bit higher level than he would have if we were going four [practices] a week, rather than three."
Personnel-wise, the biggest question mark is at offensive line, which seems to be the case every year. Junior center Blair Tushaus is transferring, while junior Brock Stringham and sophomore Ryker Mathews will miss due to injury and/or recent surgery.
"We brought in a high number of junior college offensive linemen, for that very reason, so we have enough bodies," Mendenhall said. "We might have enough to have a three-deep, actually, which we haven't had in spring for quite some time."
Sophomore defensive end Bronson Kaufusi, who joined the BYU basketball team after the Cougars' 23-6 win over San Diego State in the Poinsettia Bowl, won't participate in spring camp until the basketball season concludes.
"I think that is the right thing to do," Mendenhall said Friday, after noting last month that Kaufusi's presence on the basketball team won't be a "long-term situation."
