Whilst we're still waiting for the official release date of Bioshock Infinite Burial At Sea Episode Two, 2K and Irrational Games have released an exclusive preview clip featuring Elizabeth, Booker and our old friend Atlas.
As the gameplay clip shows, in Bioshock Infinite Burial At Sea Episode Two, players will take on the role of Bioshock Infinite's supporting character, Elizabeth, as opposed to our skyhook-wielding binge eater, Booker DeWitt. However, Booker does look to be making an appearance in part two of the DLC and judging from the clip it seems to be in a Sixth Sense sort of capacity.
In Episode One of Bioshock Infinite Burial At Sea, Booker is approached by Elizabeth and tasked with helping her find a girl named Sally who has gone missing in the vast underwater metropolis of Rapture. Along the way, the duo encounter many of the Bioshock series notable characters, including the wonderfully manic artist, Sander Cohen, and get a deeper insight into how the Splicers and Little Sisters came to be.
As mentioned in our review of Bioshock Infinite Burial At Sea Episode One, the debut chapter of the DLC played largely as a narrative piece for fans of the series and hardcore combat pieces were put on the back-burner – a real shame considering that players were given new weapons and plasmids to play with. For those hoping Episode 2 will allow players to fully experience Elizabeth's powers, that seems to not be the case.
Bioshock Infinite Burial At Sea Episode Two is said to take its inspiration from the survival horror genre of games which have become increasingly popular over the past couple of years. Rather than having Elizabeth toting guns and cracking skulls, players will have to rely on strategy and avoiding combat in order to progress through the game successfully. For those wondering why they can't just play as "Booker in a dress", here's what level designer Amanda Jeffrey had to say in an interview with IGN last year:
"With the player getting the opportunity to see how Liz is experiencing the world through first person, we have to be ever so careful to not betray what the player has already experienced of Liz in Infinite and what they're going to experience of Liz in the first part of the DLC," Jeffrey told IGN. "That's always foremost in our mind, because Liz is such a different character to Booker, and if we were to just put Booker in a dress, then that would be the most awful betrayal of what we're doing for Liz, and players would just feel like it was a cheap way out, and that's not something that we want to do."
"Elizabeth has to take things more from the side view," she explained. "She needs to be kind of thinking in a roundabout way of how to deal with her enemies. And, sometimes, that might mean completely bypassing the enemy entirely, because she doesn't need to. It may mean, in another situation, using the enemy's strength against them. There's all of these different kinds of ways of being more thoughtful, and – I hesitate to say it – almost more feminine way of approaching a problem, where there's all of these people and, to be very brutally honest about it, they have the advantage in strength. But Elizabeth has the advantage in smarts."
Jeffrey does also comment that players will be able to utilise Elizabeth's tear abilities, but at the time of interview in August last year, she did express that Irrational were "still trying to work out exactly how extensive Liz's tear abilities will be in the playable Liz sequence," and that "Elizabeth and her tear abilities are not necessarily a 'win button.'"
From everything we've seen and heard so far, it seems that Bioshock Infinite Burial At Sea Episode Two will be another solid piece of story-driven content to cater to the Bioshock fanbase. The introduction of previously unseen areas of Rapture and a brand new playstyle for the series is definitely an enticing offer and should serve as a look into what Bioshock can be when you strip away all the guns and powers. I believe Irrational's biggest stumbling block will be those who have already made the switch to the next generation of consoles.
Bioshock Infinite Burial At Sea Episode Two is scheduled for release soon on Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.

We were recently asked to demonstrate some of the different scenarios where Historical PowerTrack for Twitter can be applied. Using a major local event, the Boulder Flood of 2013, this post will describe how the use of different filters can shape both the quality and quantity of resulting Tweets. This will also serve as a guide about how to construct your own filters in order to produce anticipated data. If you'd like more detail on filtering capabilities than what is explained below, please see Historical PowerTrack for additional documentation.
Filtering by Dates
An important consideration to keep in mind when setting date ranges for a historical data request is that they are inclusive on the front end and exclusive on the tail end. For example, let's say that we want to pull Twitter data on the Boulder Flood from 9/9/13 to 9/15/13. We would enter a start date at the moment that we want our data retrieval to begin and end date at a point just beyond where we want the coverage to end. In this case our date range ends 9/16/13 at 00:00 UTC to ensure that we will receive all of data through the last second of the day on September 15th.
Rule Creation
Now that we've defined the window of time over which we'll be applying our filters, let's look at a few different ways that we could design the Historical PowerTrack rules to focus on only the data we're seeking. In this example, we want to study flood-related media posted to Twitter by Boulder residents in order to assist with efforts to assess damages caused by the event.
From a quick scan on search.twitter.com, we know that the hashtag #BoulderFlood was commonly used in Tweets about the floods. We used Gnip's documentation page to find the corresponding operator for this hashtag-based query and entered it into our ruleset.
As mentioned previously, we are aiming to extract Tweets only from Boulder residents for this study, so we add a couple of filters to exclude Tweets matching keywords about other neighboring towns that were also affected by the floods. We used the negation operator from Gnip's documentation page to augment our existing rule.
With our current set of rules, we could potentially receive Tweets that contain text without images or videos, but for purposes of our damage assessment, it is important that we only extract content with those media. Therefore, we combined a few additional statements to our existing ruleset to indicate that we want Tweets with #BoulderFlood that also have "media" or else contain URLs associated with properties of interest (e.g. Flickr or Instagram).
Lastly, we want to restrict our results to Tweets with geographic origin data to help validate that the media are in fact from Boulder, so we created a bounding box using lat/long coordinates around the Boulder area. This geographic boundary will omit any data that falls outside our area of interest as well as ignore any Tweets for which the coordinates were not provided.
Upon review, we are now confident that we have a ruleset that reflects each of the study's requirements and that should yield us a relatively high quality dataset. We submit the dates and filters for the request, and our estimate reveals that there are approximately 3,000 Tweets that match our criteria.
We created Historical PowerTrack for Twitter to leverage rule-based queries that return exactly the data you need. When submitting a request of your own, it is always best to break down each requirement of the project and ensure that your ruleset accounts for each of those criteria. We hope that you enjoyed this quick walkthrough, and look for additional Gnip product tutorials in the near future.

Gift buyers like local mom-and-pop shops' unique choices
Economic concerns linger, but mom-and-pop retailers say they finally have some cheer for this holiday shopping season.
Nearly half are more optimistic about holiday sales than last year, according to a new survey of 792 small retailers by online small-business community Manta. Four in 10 say they already have better sales compared with last fall.
"More than ever, the consumers in our community really seem to understand the value of shopping locally," said Jodi Black, co-owner of Conover, N.C.-based Beautiful Brains Books and Games. "We are hopeful this trend will continue through the upcoming holiday season."
VIDEO: Get tips on finding unique gifts at local small businesses
COLUMN: Mobile apps can help you spend wisely
COLUMN: Tips for sorting out the deal on the best shopping deals
Overall, holiday retail sales are expected to rise 2.8% during November and December to $465.6 billion, according to the National Retail Federation.
That boost will come from folks like Brady Kimball of Los Angeles. She is considering bracelets and necklaces as gifts for friends — and checking them out at Meowdy, a boutique near her home.
It's vital for local retailers to lure customers such as Kimball, as holiday sales typically make up about 20% to 30% of retailers' annual sales, NRF says.
Kimball's attraction to local shopping dates back to the years she browsed the tiny shops near her hometown of Harvard, Mass.
"The relationships we developed with these local independent retailers made our shopping a more personal experience," says Kimball, 36. That, in turn, "made any gifts we got for friends and family all that more meaningful."
The thoughtfulness and personal connection associated with unique gifts are among the biggest draws for Main Street shops, says Alison Jatlow Levy, a retail strategist at consulting firm Kurt Salmon.
Independent store shoppers can find an unusual present "that has a great story behind it," says Levy, who often shops in New York City boutiques. "Local stores can add to the treasure-hunting aspect of gift shopping that the national chain stores often miss."
While many small stores have a special cachet, they typically lack the resources of their larger competitors. Stores that don't place big bulk orders miss out on hefty discounts. Smaller shops' often tighter return policies and less-convenient hours add to the challenge of competing with chains.
Small firms have to work hard for their survival. Some of their tactics for luring customers to their doors:
•Focusing on personal service. Sales and discounts are very important, with 42% of shoppers saying those are a top draw, according to the NRF. Yet, customer service is growing in importance and is one of the "vital components in consumers' decision-making processes," NRF says.
Three-quarters of the retailers surveyed by Manta said customer service helps them stand apart from chain-store competitors. But in a separate Manta survey, 38% of retailers said they aren't hiring additional holiday staff because they can't afford to.
"I keep track of what my customers like and don't like," Black says. "And I can suggest things based on those recommendations." That personal touch keeps people coming back, says Manta CEO Pamela Springer.
•Playing up community impact. Shopping at a local boutique has three times the economic impact that shopping at corporate stores does, says Frank Knapp Jr., CEO of the South Carolina Small Business Chamber of Commerce.
For every $100 spent in locally owned, independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures, according to small-business advocacy group The 3/50 Project.
"Shopping locally keeps the dollars that are spent in the community," says Allison Proehl, 46, of Jacksonville Beach, Fla. "Our local paper said it best: If you want a store or restaurant to survive, you have to make a conscious effort to visit those places."
•Tapping into social media. Three-fourths of small firms surveyed by Manta plan to use social media to promote their holiday offerings this year.
"Like big retailers, we see the value in leveraging social media to reach people in new ways this holiday season," says Joseph Nerkowski, owner of Holiday Lighting, an Ulby, Mich., retailer.
•Touting green practices. Independent shop owners often look to nearby artists and manufacturers for inventory, which limits transportation costs.
"Those mass-produced gifts from big-box stores come from far-off factories, then get shipped all over the world in huge trucks, boats and planes," says Becky Striepe, senior editor of Green Upgrader, an online publication about green living. "When you support local artists, you're saying no to all of those miles and keeping your money within your community at the same time."
•Offering localized merchandise. Gifts purchased from a local store can also put a stamp of the area on the item. That can mean a lot to loved ones nostalgic for their hometowns.
Marty Checkoway, owner of Firefly Jewelry and Gifts in Boston, says one such gift is an ornament with a picture of baseball stadium Fenway Park.
"What it comes down to is, it makes the experience for the gift a little more special," he says.

Randall Cobb Picked in Second Round of NFL Draft by Green Bay
April 29, 2011
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Former University of Kentucky football great Randall Cobb was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the second round of the 2011 National Football League Draft on Friday night in Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
Cobb becomes Kentucky's highest selection since 2003 when defensive tackle Dewayne Robertson was taken in the first round by the New York Jets. Cobb will join another former Wildcat, punter Tim Masthay, on the team that won the 2011 Super Bowl.
Cobb, who gave up his senior season of eligibility to enter the draft, played wide receiver, quarterback, punt returner, kickoff returner and placekick holder during his three seasons with the Wildcats. He earned first-team All-America honors in 2010 from The Associated Press, ESPN.com and SportsIllustrated.com. As a junior, Cobb caught 84 passes for 1,017 yards and seven touchdowns while rushing for 424 yards and five touchdowns, throwing three touchdown passes and returning a punt for a TD. He broke the Southeastern Conference single-season record for all-purpose yardage by totaling 2,396 rushing, receiving and kick return yards.
Despite playing only three seasons, Cobb set the UK career touchdown record with 37, including 22 rushing, 13 receiving and two on punt returns. Cobb also exits Kentucky ranked fourth all-time in all-purpose yardage with 4,674 yards, fourth in career scoring with 226 points, fifth in career pass receptions with 144 and sixth in receiving yardage with 1,661.
During his time at Kentucky, Cobb was a first-team All-Southeastern Conference performer in 2009 and 2010, while also earning SEC All-Freshman team honors in 2008. Cobb has a history of making clutch plays after securing five game-winning, fourth-quarter touchdowns during his career at UK -- vs. Arkansas in 2008; vs. Louisville, Auburn and Georgia in 2009; and vs. South Carolina in 2010. Cobb also helped lead Kentucky to three consecutive bowl games.
A native of Maryville, Tenn., Cobb played his high school football at Alcoa (Tenn.) High School. Alcoa won four-consecutive state championships during his time there, including the last two with Cobb as the starting quarterback.

The story of Job is universal.
It's no surprise, then, that the Bible story of life and death, suffering and loss would be so well-suited to opera, said Don Harris, the creator of the stage production Job: A Postmodern Opera of Biblical Proportions.
The show – or at least, portions of it – will be staged at Augusta's Kroc Center on March 10.
That's because Job: A Postmodern Opera is an opera that's more than 30 years in the making and seven years into active production.
Harris and his wife, Suzanne, who wrote the music for the original production, have performed the opera in various venues around Augusta during the past several years, including the 2008 Westobou Festival and 2011 Arts in the Heart of Augusta.
This upcoming show is their first fully costumed production, featuring a 16-member cast and 21-piece orchestra.
The style is eclectic, with new and old songs set to blues, pop, country and classical melodies.
The opera features performances by Greg Hatfield as Job; Pamela Bowman as Job's wife; Matthew Peters as Elihu; and Bill Juras as God.
The full opera is scheduled to be released in November after a final fundraising push. Each performance costs $3,000 to $4,000, depending on venue costs and the orchestra.
It'll cost about $25,000 to show the final opera several times this fall.
"When we do it, we don't want to do it for one night," Don Harris said. "We want to have a good run."
The full, final production has been a long time coming, said Harris, who works by day at Powerserve, a software development firm in Augusta, and attends Lakemont Presbyterian Church with Suzanne.
"I started working on the lyrics for what would become the opera about 30 years ago" in an attempt to restructure the poetry in Job into modern, singable songs, he said. "I didn't pull it out until about seven years ago. I went and took it to my wife and told her I had written an opera."
Harris had the lyrics, but not the music or choreography he would need to stage the show.
"She started to write the most beautiful music I had ever heard," he said.
Suzanne and Henry Johnson completed the music, and Peter Powlus choreographed the show.
At the Kroc Center next week, audiences can expect to see more than an hour of both the most popular and never-before-performed selections.
"Each performance is a little bit different," Harris said. "We've tried very hard to make sure we tell a complete story."
Harris hopes audiences walk away from the show with a new perspective on Job.
"I've been studying the story of Job and the various intricacies for quite some time," he said. "This suffering is something everyone relates to. When people are suffering, it connects us. It unites us at a base level of our humanity. We try to use these performances to promote that mind-set of unity."

I tried to blow out the area through the inspection opening. That still didn't help it. tonight I am going to take out the orifice and see if it looks like it may be partially plugged. If there is nothing wrong there, what is next step for me to try. Also for your info the manual says the gas part will not work as well as it should above elevation 5500 feet. I live at 8300 feet. But up until now it has functioned perfect at that elevation. Last weekend we had it down at around 5000 feet or lower and it didn't cool at that elev.
Thanks Carl

The League of Filipino Students (LFS) stands side-by-side with the people of Mindanao in their collective call to oust Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Dinky Soliman for intentionally withholding relief goods; the rejection of military presence and participation in giving out relief and helping out in rehabilitation; and the junking of EO 79 and other related orders which are the culprits behind massive denudation and abuse of natural resources.
The clamor for government help in relief and rehabilitation escalates almost three months after the devastating tragedy that cost lives in Mindanao due to Typhoon Pablo. With another typhoon in Mindanao, particularly in areas hard-hit by Typhoon Pablo and Sendong, the LFS challenges the Aquino administration to administer genuine and service-oriented relief operations in the area.
"Immediate relief must be given to the people. Soliman should grant the 100,000 sacks of rice due to the victims or risk facing stronger claims for ouster from people fed up with her incompetence," says LFS Secretary General Mai Uichanco, reminding the DSWD secretary of the 5,000 victims who barricaded a highway in Compostela Valley because of sluggish distribution of relief goods in their community.
Endangered by storms and soldiers
Beyond natural disasters aggravated by huge corporate greed, the greatest dangers threatening the people of Mindanao are extrajudicial and political killings, trumped up criminal charges, and other forms of human rights violations enacted by the government to protect interests of mining and logging operators. At least 6 military battalions and 2 infantry brigades, explicitly named Investment Security Forces (ISF), are deployed as escorts of these corporations in the CARAGA region alone.
"The cases of violations speak for themselves; Aquino is insincere to the plight of the people, especially those in Mindanao," remarks Uichanco.
The culture of impunity that comes with Aquino's promise to protect foreign and large-scale investments in the country is pervasive. This also sheds light on the criminal charges placed upon the leaders of the aforementioned 5,000-strong barricade last month which also called for the cancellation of various corporate logging and foreign mining permits.
"The barricades along Compostela Valley were well-warranted given the neglect to give the locals the necessary relief. The people's call for 100, 000 sacks of rice and continuous rehabilitation and relief over the course of the next 6 months must be met," asserts Uichanco.
End the claiming of lives by the EO 79
Yet to hold the Aquino government responsible in providing immediate relief is only one side of the coin. The other side is for the people to claim a long-term solution and social justice.
"The care for Mindanao which Pres. Aquino projects does not translate to real and actual service given to the people of Mindanao—especially those in most need," deplores Uichanco.
According to the youth leader, the 'battle between man versus nature' was intensified primarily by Aquino's Executive Order 79, which legitimized massive mining and logging in the provinces of Davao and Compostela Valley. According to data gathered by Mindanao-based environmental organization Panalipdan, there are already a total of 31 mining tenements, application, and operations in Davao Oriental alone, with another 43 in Compostela Valley.
"Let us not wait for another Pablo to happen. We demand the immediate junking of EO 79, and thus eliminate the hazard to the lives of our countrymen in Mindanao," concludes Uichanco. ###

Jane Franklin's "Book of Ages"
By Marcia Allen, Technical Services and Collections Manager
She was not a recognized personality nor was she a Revolutionary War figure. She was not wealthy, nor was she well educated. There are no surviving paintings of her, and many details of her life are relatively sketchy. In fact, hers was an ordinary life except for one factor: she was the younger sister of Benjamin Franklin.
To be honest, many of the details we do know about her have been made available only because of her brother's celebrity. We are well aware of his adventures because of his prolific writing, his interactions with other famous personalities, and his incredible role in American history. Fortunately for us, he was an avid writer of letters, and many of his surviving letters were sent directly to his younger sister. Many of her letters to him have also survived, and it is because of those that we have clues to Jane's personality and day-to-day life.
In a family of seventeen children, of which twelve survived to adulthood, Benjamin was the youngest son while Jane was the youngest daughter. The two enjoyed a closeness that endured despite their very different lives. Benjamin, it seems, left home at an early age and became a self-educated man, traveling to Europe and acting as an American ambassador. Jane remained home and married at the age of fifteen. As was often true at the time, she bore children, many of whom died tragically. And her husband, who was prone to incur debts he could not repay, probably spent some time in a debtors' prison.
"Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin" by renowned history professor Jill Lepore is a rare treasure. It is that wonderful tale that manages to piece together the details of one life through a careful scrutiny of old letters and other documentation. And what do we learn? Despite the narrow boundaries of Jane's life, she was highly opinionated and quick to share those opinions with her famous brother. She was also energetic and deeply religious. She was fond of and teasing toward her brother, always conveying her love for him. She was an affectionate mother, ever protective of her children and grandchildren, despite the overwhelming cooking and cleaning she must have done amid near-poverty living conditions.
One of the more personal and more touching artifacts described in the book is the actual "Book of Age's." That was the title that Jane gave to her little handmade journal in which she recorded the milestones of her life. The opening entries read:
"Edward Mecom Senr Born in December 1704
Jane Franklin Born on March 27—1712
Edward Mecom Marryed to Jane Franklin the 27th of July 1727.
Later entries record the births of her twelve children, as well as the early deaths of all but one. Her husband's death is also recorded in those pages, with the following phrase: "Died my husband in a Stedy hope of a happy hear after." And her final entry, dated in the year 1767, is taken from passages of the Book of Job, those familiar lines that she penned as, "The Lord Giveth & the Lord taketh away."
Beyond providing details about Jane's personal life, the book is an intimate picture of 18th century American conflicts. When Jane and her daughters decided to open a millinery shop, for example, her brother helped her obtain materials with which to fashion hats. Unfortunately, just as the women began their work, Parliament passed the Townshend Acts, which levied taxes on numerous goods. Officials in Jane's city of Boston responded by boycotting English goods, among them the cloths and ribbons that Jane desperately needed for her new business. Thus ended what may well have been a lucrative business.
When the Battle of Bunker Hill occurred, Jane's family suffered casualties. A husband of one of Jane's daughters, as well as one her husband's relatives were counted among the dead. Those losses caused her to reflect bitterly in a letter to Benjamin that, "As to Sons I have nothing but misery in those that are left. Boath of them Distracted."
Beautifully written and carefully researched, this book is a warm and personal account of one American life. Lepore's masterful book breathes new life into Benjamin Franklin's lively younger sister.

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
Thank you for asking your question on JustAnswer.
This engine uses a split intake runner for each cylinder. It has a long skinny runner for low RPM use and a short fat passage for high RPM use. The IMRC is a system to control the secondary "butterflies" in the intake manifold. When the engine is started the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) sends a command to the IMRC actuator to close the "butterflies". Above 3500 RPMs, the PCM takes the command away and the butterflies open, using spring pressure. The actuator has a position sensor inside that tells the PCM if the IRCM actuator reacted correctly. The P1518 code means that when the PCM commanded the butterflies closed, it didn't see them move. While watching the IMRC Linkage, start the engine and watch for movement. If there is no movement, remove the upper intake to gain access to the lower intake. Check the IMRC shafts for carbon or other reasons for the system to stick. Grab the shafts and try to move them manually.
Give me a few minutes and I will send you some pictures.
The upper intake is the top part of the engine.

2011 Men's Basketball Boot Camp Underway
With the 2011-12 men's basketball season just over a month away, Liberty head coach Dale Layer put his team to the test this week with the Flames' third annual boot camp.
A prelude to the team's first official practice next Friday, Liberty's boot camp combines conditioning and team building exercises designed to physically and mentally prepare the Flames for the season.
Alan York of the Flames Sports Network caught up with Layer and senior point guard Jesse Sanders to find out what boot camp is all about. The following video provides a sneak peek at the conditioning sessions, as well as interviews from Liberty's head coach and floor general.
The 2011-12 season begins Aug. 9, when the Flames travel to College Station, Texas, to take on Texas A&M in the regional round of the 2K Sports Classic benefiting Coaches vs. Cancer. Tipoff inside Reed Arena is slated for 8 p.m. (EST). Liberty makes its 2011-12 Vines Center debut on Nov. 11, playing host to Randolph College at 7 p.m.


text: WPUPC Home Call for Papers KeynoteSpeaker Directions PresentationInformation Registration Submission Schedule Call for Papers We would like to invite our guests to submit their research to the 33rd annual Western Pennsylvania Undergraduate Psychology Conference. The conference will be held at Chatham University from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday April 23rd, 2005 in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania . We feel that the opportunity for undergraduates to present their research is important to their professional development. Attending a conference provides a wonderful opportunity for students to practice their presentation skills and to discuss their ideas with other faculty and students. We will accept submissions for both paper (oral) and poster sessions. The paper sessions will be 10 minutes, plus 5 minutes for questions. Participants will be able to use PowerPoint, slides, overheads, and TV/VCR for their presentations. (Please indicate your audiovisual needs on the registration form). This year we ask that the poster presenters present their posters on the standard poster presentation boards available at most campus bookstores and office supply stores such as OfficeMax, Staples, and Office Depot. These boards, which measure 36" X 48", are tri-fold, and they will allow the posters to stand on tables for the poster session. Students should also bring copies of a one-page handout of their presentations. Poster presenters should plan to come 10-15 minutes early to register and set up their posters by 8:15 as the poster session will immediately follow morning registration. Students can submit their abstracts on-line by following the links in the menu on the top of this page. Each presentation should be submitted only once by the first author. Authors should prepare an APA style abstract that is no more than 600 characters (approximately 100 words) on their word processor, proof and spell check, and then copy it into the conference form. We will e-mail each faculty advisor with a confirmation of acceptance. If anyone does not have access to an internet compatible computer to use the web forms, please contact the conference organizers. Students submitting their abstracts on-line are automatically registered for the conference (the conference fee will be $10.00). Abstracts are due Saturday April 9th, 2005.

Jefferson's Daniel Love (bottom) will lead the defending state champions into the Class A state duals at Bremen. Several other area teams will be competing today in state duals including Commerce, Madison County, Morgan County, Oglethorpe County and Elbert County.
Jeff Blake/Staff Regardless of how the Madison County wrestling team does at today's Class AAAA state duals in Ringold, the 2002-2003 season is already one of numerous accomplishments for the Mat Raiders.
After going 6-0 in Region 8-AAAA action during the regular season, Madison County went into last Saturday's Area 4 duals at Loganville on a high as the top seed. Unfortunately, much of the team came down with the flu at the same time and the best the Mat Raiders could do was a second-place finish behind Loganville.
Still, second in the area is no small accomplishment for a program that until recently rarely caught anyone's attention.
Madison County opens the 16-team duals against Thomas County Central, with the winner advancing to the Elite Eight to face the winner of the Alexander-Shaw meet. Should the Mat Raiders reached the semifinals, they would likely go up against top-ranked Woodland.
Other area teams in action today: No. 1-ranked Jefferson heads an eight-team field that includes region rival Commerce at the Class A duals in Bremen; Morgan County and Oglethorpe County are two of the eight teams that will be competing for the Class AA title at the Darlington School in Rome; and Elbert County will be in action at the eight-team Class AAA duals at West Laurens High School.
Among this season's top team performances for Madison County were a first-place finish at the Apalachee Wildcat Invitational, multiple third place results and an impressive ninth-place finish at the always tough 32-team Gwinnett County Invitational.
One team Madison County won't have to worry about today is host and defending state duals and traditional state title champion Ringold, which was disqualified from last week's Area 7 duals when it was discovered that the Tigers had four wrestlers drop weight classes without certifying their weights.
Once the state duals have been completed, the Mat Raiders will turn their attention to the Area 4 tradition (individual) tournament next Friday and Saturday at Cedar Shoals, where wrestlers will try and qualify for the following weekend's state tournament.

Jodin Sparks & Jason Derulo: Jingle Ball Lovers
Kicking off the week with a holiday shindig, Jordin Sparks and Jason DeRulo showed up at the KIIS FM Jingle Ball 2012 in Los Angeles last night (December 3).
The "American Idol" alum and her beau of one year looked to be thoroughly enjoying themselves as they hammed it up for the cameras outside the Nokia Theatre LA Live.
Meanwhile, Jordin told press she's looking forward to releasing her third album which includes a very special duet with Jason.
"We actually have recorded some stuff together, so hopefully there will be a song on his [forthcoming album] and a song on mine, different songs. Now, our problem is just deciding which one goes where."
As for the collaborating process, Sparks shared, "I don't know why I assumed it would be easy; we were just doing things differently. But now that we know, it's been a lot easier. We wrote a song the other day in a couple hours. It was great; we just had to get through that initial awkward [period]."

How they miss the playoffs: It ends with goaltending, where Emery and Mason struggle behind a questionable defensive corps. Defencemen like Andrej Meszaros and Niklas Grossmann suffer enough injuries to deplete depth and an offence led by Giroux and Vinny Lecavalier can't keep up.
5. New York Islanders
Last season: 24-17-7, 55 points, eighth seed in East, lost in conference quarter-finals to Pittsburgh
Who's gone: LW Nino Niederreiter, C Keith Aucoin, D Mark Streit, G Rick DiPietro
Who's new: F Pierre-Marc Bouchard, RW Cal Clutterbuck
How they make the playoffs: John Tavares is an MVP candidate in his first season as captain, carrying the Islanders back into the playoffs. Lubomir Visnovsky stabilizes a largely unproven blue-line that lost Streit to Philadelphia.
How they miss the playoffs: Evgeni Nabokov struggles, and Kevin Poulin has no chance of saving the Islanders. Tavares, Matt Moulson and Kyle Okposo can't do it all themselves, especially in front of a defence that is counting on Andrew MacDonald to play big minutes.
6. Columbus Blue Jackets
Last season: 24-17-7, 55 points, ninth in West, missed playoffs on tiebreaker
Who's gone: G Michael Leighton, LW Vinny Prospal
Who's new: RW Nathan Horton
How they make the playoffs: Vezina Trophy-winner Sergei Bobrovsky isn't a fluke, gets close to being the first goaltender since Dominik Hasek to put up back-to-back seasons with save percentages above .930. Horton returns from shoulder surgery in January and provides Columbus with a welcome offensive spark.
How they miss the playoffs: Bobrovsky is human and can't almost singlehandedly get the Blue Jackets in. There's simply not enough offence beyond Marian Gaborik after Prospal was not re-signed, and Horton isn't the same without the kind of talented linemates he played with in Boston.
7. Carolina Hurricanes
Last season: 19-25-4, 42 points, 13th in East, missed playoffs by 13 points
Who's gone: D Joni Pitkanen (injury), D Joe Corvo, D Jamie McBain, D Marc-Andre Bergeron, D Bobby Sanguinetti, G Dan Ellis
Who's new: C Elias Lindholm, D Ron Hainsey, D Mike Komisarek, D Andrej Sekera, G Anton Khudobin
How they make the playoffs: Goaltender Cam Ward and forward Jeff Skinner stay healthy for a full season and play at peak performance. Eric and Jordan Staal play their solid, consistent game and Justin Faulk bounces back from a rough year.
How they miss the playoffs: Ward gets hurt again and can't recapture past magic, and the loss of defenceman Joni Pitkanen from an already thin blue-line proves disastrous. Prospects Lindholm and Ryan Murphy aren't yet ready to take on NHL roles.
8. New Jersey Devils
Last season: 19-19-10, 48 points, 11th in East, missed playoffs by seven points
Who's gone: RW Ilya Kovalchuk, RW David Clarkson, D Henrik Tallinder, G Johan Hedberg
Who's new: LW Ryane Clowe, RW Michael Ryder, RW Jaromir Jagr, RW Rostislav Olesz, G Cory Schneider, F Damien Brunner
How they make the playoffs: Martin Brodeur and Schneider make magic as a goaltending tandem, and the Devils get big-time production from Patrik Elias, Travis Zajac and Adam Henrique. Additions Ryder, Clowe and Jagr make up for the surprising departure of Ilya Kovalchuk.
How they miss the playoffs: Kovalchuk leaves a gaping offensive hole that can't be filled. The Devils respect Brodeur too much to make him Schneider's backup, and the 41-year-old plays like his age.
1. Boston Bruins
Last season: 28-14-6, 62 points, fourth seed in East, lost in Stanley Cup final to Chicago
Who's gone: F Tyler Seguin, F Nathan Horton, F Jaromir Jagr, F Rich Peverley, D Andrew Ference, G Anton Khudobin
Who's new: F Matt Fraser, F Loui Eriksson, F Jarome Iginla, F Reilly Smith, F Nick Johnson, D Joe Morrow, G Chad Johnson
How they make the playoffs: Steady as Zdeno Chara and Tuukka Rask go. Claude Julien's team keeps natural chemistry even while adding Loui Eriksson and Jarome Iginla to the mix.
How they miss the playoffs: Injuries that took their toll in the Cup final pile up. The Bruins can't afford to lose Rask for any length of time, especially with Chad Johnson replacing Anton Khudobin as the backup.
2. Ottawa Senators
Last season: 25-17-7, 56 points, seventh seed in East, lost in conference semi-finals to Pittsburgh
Who's gone: RW Daniel Alfredsson, F Jakob Silfverberg, F Peter Regin, D Sergei Gonchar
Who's new: LW Bobby Ryan, F Clarke MacArthur, D Joe Corvo
How they make the playoffs: Alfie, who? Bobby Ryan makes up for Daniel Alfredsson's departure, and centre Jason Spezza and defenceman Erik Karlsson stay healthy. Reigning coach of the year Paul MacLean's system is made to last and goaltenders Craig Anderson and Robin Lehner thrive behind it.Report Typo/Error

What is the monthly allowance for the 7000 plus Saudi princes an
What is the monthly allocated for the 7000 in addition Saudi princes and princesses from the taking over royal family of Saudi Persia
Embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as well as released by Wikileaks -- supplies a detailed account with the mechanisms of prosperity distribution and waste materials within Saudi Arabia royal family. Despite the substantial riches doled out to "thousands" of Saudi princes and princesses, the wire observes that Saudi royalty "seem more adept at squandering than accumulating success." (The embassy notes that the country provides more commoner billionaires than regal billionaires.) As reported within the cable,
taylor swift
, corruption also abounds largely out of hand.
Oil revenue is considered primarily to enrich the particular Al Saud. The embassy points out that Saudi Arabia Ministry of Finance distributes a portion of the country oil earnings to each Saudi royal loved one in the form of monthly stipends. At that time the secret cable had been issued,
burberry bags
, every elegant reportedly received a monthly allowance from start, on a sliding pay scale of US$ 800 (for distant royals) in order to US$ 270,
emma watson
,000 (for sons and daughters of California king Abd Al-Aziz). The embassy calculated these kind of stipends to total a lot more than US$ 2 billion of the Saudi government US$ 40 million annual budget. Just for this and other reasons, the actual embassy concludes that "getting the grip on elegant family excesses reaches the top" of priorities for Saudi Arabia.
Besides the state-budgeted stipend, the cable accounts, a royal may well obtain a bonus associated with as much as US$ 3 trillion, as reward getting married or developing a palace. The existing stipend-and-bonus technique provides Saudi royals having a significant incentive to procreate, particularly given that stipend distributions begin at beginning. It was stated that the central life aspiration of one Saudi prince was to have more children, in an attempt to increase his regular monthly allowance.
According to the cable, some members of the particular Al Saud resort to "royal rakeoffs" in order to supplement their already-substantial income. Such schemes might include confiscating land from commoners and also reselling it to the government for a considerable profit; borrowing in the banks and defaulting about these loans; and acting as "sponsors" to "sometimes hundreds" of expatriate staff who are permitted to work locally as long as they pay out monthly fees to the queens (this latter design reportedly earns an individual royal sponsor around US$ 10,000 each month from 100 ex-pats).
Al Saud land and asset grabs are said to have caused resentment on the list of populace. In one example, Defense Minister Knight in shining armor Sultan bin Abd Al-Aziz allegedly obtained Mecca officials to exchange to him any plot of land that had belonged to at least one family for centuries. In the same way, royals are said to routinely seize the particular assets of worthwhile businesses -- one reason, your cable explains, the reason why some successful Saudis spend their money outside the region.
The embassy reports, nevertheless, that the most invasive form of royal file corruption error consists of skimming via billions in off-budget investing that is controlled by Sultan and a few other princes. "In a current meeting with the Ambassador," the cable claims, "Saudi billionaire Prince Al-Walid trash can Talal,
cheap burberry
, alluding to these off-budget programs, reported the travesty that revenues from "one million barrels of oil per day" go entirely to "five or six princes." According to the cable, many in the kingdom think that royal greed "has gone beyond the bounds associated with reason."
However the embassy strikes a depressed tone in considering a solution to the situation, deciding:
"As long as the regal family views the united states as Saud Inc., escalating numbers of princes and princesses will dsicover it as their birthright for lavish dividend obligations, and dip into the actual till from time to time, by simply sheer virtue associated with company ownership.Inch

UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- Ukraine is predicting that the U.N. General Assembly will adopt a resolution Thursday reaffirming the country's territorial integrity and calling the referendum that led to Russia's annexation of its Crimean Peninsula illegal.
Ukraine's U.N. Ambassador Yuriy Sergeyev said told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the resolution has "several dozen" co-sponsors and support from democratic countries around the world -- but wouldn't predict how many of them might vote "yes."
Russia has mounted a campaign against the resolution, claiming the dispute is an East-West issue. Sergeyev said he has been speaking to regional groups and explaining that Russia violated the U.N. Charter that guarantees the sovereignty, territorial integrity and unity of Ukraine.
Russia has blocked action in the Security Council where they have veto power as one its five permanent members. Even so, the 15-member council has held eight meetings on Ukraine, as Western powers strive to keep up the pressure on Moscow.
Unlike the Security Council, resolutions in the 193-member General Assembly cannot be vetoed but they are not legally binding.
While Ukraine has a lot of sympathy among U.N. members, Russia has a lot of clout and diplomats predict a significant number of abstentions.
One diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, said between 80 and 90 "yes" votes would send a strong message to Russia. But that would mean support from less than half the U.N. member states.
Sergeyev said Russia's takeover and annexation of Crimea undermines the basic principles of the U.N. Charter and the 1994 Budapest Memorandum under which Russia, the United States and Britain guaranteed Ukraine's territorial integrity when it surrendered its share of Soviet nuclear arsenals to Moscow after the Soviet Union broke up in 1991.

Date of Defense 2012-10-25 Availability unrestricted AbstractResearch into the dirhodium tetraphosphine catalyst precursor [rac-Rh2(nbd)2(et,ph-P4)](BF4)2 shows it is capable of forming a highly active and regioselective hydroformylation catalyst in situ when using an acetone or acetone/water solvent. Hydroformylation experiments (using 1-hexene), FT-IR studies, and acid-base studies were performed to better understand the various complexes of the dirhodium catalyst cycle. These studies lead to the newly proposed catalyst mechanism when performed in an acetone/water solution, using the monocationic
[rac-Rh2(H)(µ-CO)2(CO) (et,ph-P4)]+ as the proposed active catalyst complex for hydroformylation. For the conversion of 1-hexene to heptanal, it is capable of performing an initial rate of 30 turnovers per min, 33:1 linear-to-branched aldehyde regioselectivity, and less than 0.5% isomerization/hydrogenation.
A remarkable new catalytic reaction, termed Aldehyde-Water Shift Catalysis, can occur under the proper conditions only when water is added to the acetone solvent. Under mild hydrogen deficient conditions the reaction of aldehyde and water can produce carboxylic acid and H2. The net stoichiometry of hydroformylation combined with this unusual aldehyde-water shift catalysis is that of hydrocarboxylation, an extremely difficult reaction to perform selectively or under mild conditions. DFT calculations and experimental studies indicate
[Rh2(µ-CO)2(CO)2(et,ph-P4)]2+ as the likely active catalyst for this aldehyde-water shift catalysis. We believe bimetallic cooperativity plays an important role in this catalysis as it does in hydroformylation. Various designs of autoclave reactors were built in order to maintain and monitor the new reaction conditions, including pressure, temperature, and gas flow rate. The best tandem catalysis results yielded a rate of 50 turnovers per hour with a regioselectivity of 60:1 linear-to-branched carboxylic acid, operating at 50 psig (3.4 atm) and 90°C.

That's right we have been seeing Lumia 900 results popping up. A Nokia source got me hands on with the device & answered a few questions on it.
So first things that you will notice with the device is the huge 4.3 AMOLED screen which is a personal favourite of mine & a 1.4GHz processor. As with all the Windows Phones on the marketplace currently the HTC Titan is the only other device with a big enough screen with as I was told "a nicer camera to compliment the big screen".
Regarding the design on the device itself it is just a bigger Lumia 800, keeping the same design and button layout out. The only current differences regarding design were the current Lumia 800 push & click for access to the device & Micro Sim have changed into a iPhone style pin push access to the Sim card and no cover to the Micro USB.
Finally a change which will only go ahead depending on the feedback on the Lumia 800 is the case finish which the current prototype has a gloss finish unlike the current Lumia's matt finish.
As I only saw a prototype & the device has a while to go till final production we can see a few changes yet to happen but I will try to keep you as updated as possible.
Launch will be hard to really estimate, although some seem to think we'll be seeing it in Q1 2012 (note the picture on that link is *NOT* the Lumia 900), but we can look at around Tango release because the current prototypes are only running on Tango. Finally as Nokia are such great fans of NFC I also had confirmation that the Apollo (Next gen of Windows Phones) will bring support for NFC devices.

From the CFI #10: What Type Are You? »
Ready to move into a jet? No matter how big, all jets require a type rating if you want to fly one. You might think that means they're hard to learn and harder to fly, but usually that isn't true. More
Ready to move into a jet? No matter how big, all jets require a type rating if you want to fly one. You might think that means they're hard to learn and harder to fly, but usually that isn't true. More
Some pilots like to tell horror stories of times they got themselves out of trouble with their great stick skills. But the older pilots sitting thoughtfully to the side, chuckling at the boasting, are the ones you might want to seek out and hear their experiences. AVweb's Linda Pendleton has thoughts about mentors in this month's column. More
AVweb's Linda Pendleton has been teaching people how to fly for decades, and remembers fondly how flight instruction used to be. But before you go accusing her of living in the past, she's got strong opinions on how things need to be different in the age of technically advanced aircraft -- and what parts of past training experience that need to be rediscovered. More
With new, technically advanced aircraft becoming more common in the air and at FBOs near you, many in the industry have been asking if we need to take a new look at how we train new pilots. AVweb's Linda Pendleton has certainly been asking, and she discusses the kinds of scenarios that work and don't work in this month's From The CFI column. More
Hard to imagine, but some people actually want to be the butt of insults and fear-inspiration -- and (really) make a contribution to aviation by becoming a Designated Pilot Examiner. They're less of an FAA enforcement officer and more of a souped-up flight instructor, as AVweb's Linda Pendleton explains in this month's column From The CFI. More
Pilots are usually successful in the rest of their non-aviation life, so it can come as a shock to hear that not everyone passes a checkride on the first try. It's especially a shock when you don't pass! AVweb's Linda Pendleton, who served as an FAA designated examiner, has suggestions for getting your certificate in one go. More
If you're thinking about moving up to a faster, more complex airplane (or if you're wondering how piston-pounding pilots are going to transition to those very light jets), AVweb's Linda D. Pendleton has some advice: Brush up on the basics. More
No, we're not saying you shouldn't practice. AVweb's Linda Pendleton takes a crack at another truism of flight training, showing that practicing the wrong thing can be just as bad as not practicing. More
It's a new world out there in the second century of flight -- one with new technology and new opportunities. But we're still training (and testing) pilots the same old way: Performing maneuvers to the Standards. In her second column, AVweb's Linda Pendleton talks about training pilots a new way, one that reflects real-world missions and prevents real-world accidents. More
Our newest columnist is a long-time contributor to AVweb. Linda Pendleton, a CFI and currently the Flight Training Manager for Eclipse Aviation, will bring us the latest from the world of flight training. In her first column, Linda discusses concerns she has about the state of the instructor/student relationship. Is the CFI solely responsible when a student is not properly signed off for solo, cross-country or even the practical exam? Is the student not at all to blame if they didn't learn all the subjects in the practical test standards? Like all of AVweb's columnists, don't expect Linda to sit quietly and toe some party line -- she leaves no one off the hook. More
A big show would have a lot of new stuff to satisfy our eternal hope for salvation. Sorry, not this year. More
What a great trip. A bunch of Taylorcraft owners go together for a 3200 mile trip through the West and Mark Bowden shot this at Marble Canyon (L41). Nice picture, Mark and it looks like a great time.

The blood is usually deficient in haemoglobin, which is often only 40-50% of the normal.
The blood is coloured red by haemoglobin in blood corpuscles.
haemoglobin is extracted from the blood of an ox and may be administered in bolus form.
Alcohol prevents the haemoglobin of the blood from doing its office, which is to supply oxygen and remove carbon dioxid.
A further striking characteristic of haemoglobin is that it contains iron in its molecule.
It is very poisonous, uniting with the haemoglobin of the blood to form carbonyl-haemoglobin.
It is proved, however, that the destruction of the haemoglobin is entirely effected there.
Haematoporphyrin and biliverdin also occur in the egg-shells of certain birds, but in this case they are derived from haemoglobin.
In certain forms of anaemia it increases the number of the red corpuscles and also their haemoglobin content.
Like haemoglobin, it acts as an oxygen-carrier in respiration, but it takes no part in surface coloration.

3 Recommendations
thedelicious's recommendation
I am hot for soups this season, and an immersion blender is absolutely essential for pureeing solids in the broth to make a thick, creamy soup. It may not be quite as smooth as pouring the entire contents of a pot into a blender in batches, but it sure beats the mess of the blender AND the pouring.
My Collections:
GourmetGlam's recommendation
No sense in wasting energy and potentially risking burns by pouring hot broth and solids into a blender to puree for soup. An immersion blender lets you do it right in the pot.
My Collections:
barabajagal's recommendation
I the model that came out before this one and its amazing. I make pesto, sauces, smoothies, pina coladas and salad dressing with it. Crushes ice with ease and its less clean up than a blender. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.

I started out approaching a novel the way I write stories, which is in a non-linear and exploratory way.
It is not an efficient way to write, but I love that exploratory phase, when even bad writing somehow seems promising.
But Trump had not filed papers to establish a presidential committee with the FEC, or even an exploratory committee.
Five and a half years ago, I had gone to a conference on invented languages, on an exploratory mission, fishing for a story.
Rand Paul announced he would form an exploratory committee for a Senate campaign at just the right time, in May 2009.
There was, however, another type of sweep used for exploratory work and also for sweeping in shallow water.
Something was suggested about what he called an "exploratory puncture."
Listening to a sudden noise is one of the first exploratory reactions.
Let us accompany Mr. Dick in one of his exploratory rambles.
Logic cares nothing about the exploratory process that culminates in inference, but limits itself to inference alone.
mid-15c., from Latin exploratorius "belonging to scouts," from explorator "scout," from explorare (see explore). Alternative explorative is from 1738.

established the National Vocational Qualifications
Framework of Sri Lanka. National Vocational
Qualifications (NVQs) are made up of standards developed
nationally by industry. The standards specify the
competencies of a high performing worker, and are
benchmarked internationally. The NVQ framework is very
flexible, allowing institutions to develop courses to
meet the needs of their students and industry.
Institutions wishing to offer courses leading to award
of NVQ qualification should be accredited by TVEC. The
training institutes which registered with TVEC are
eligible to apply for accreditation . Institutions
wishing to offer National Diploma courses at NVQ levels
5 and 6 should have an ISO Quality Management System
fully installed and certified by the TVEC before
applying for course accreditation.
Accreditation applications can be downloaded from TVEC

NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer Launch Day
On September 13, 2004 the National Cancer Institute (NCI) launched the NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer an integrated $144.3 million, five-year initiative to develop and apply nanotechnology to cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis and treatment. The Alliance will encompass researchers, clinicians, and public and private organizations that have joined forces to translate cancer-related nanotechnology research into clinical practice.
Nanotechnology has already demonstrated promising results in cancer research and treatment. This initiative builds on the scientific advances in genomics and proteomics and our understanding of the molecular underpinnings of cancer by facilitating cross-disciplinary and cross-sector collaboration with nanotechnology, which is ripe for biomedical application.

Welcome to the second edition of the Diabetic Partner Follies, a new series here at DiabetesMine.com in which we (meaning myself and the good man behind me) invite the "significant others" of diabetics everywhere to speak out.
The idea is that partners of PWDs should have a forum to exchange experiences, ideas, frustrations, and even some occassional smiles, we hope.
Today, we hear from Anna Q, author of Life with a Spouse, one of only two known partner blogs. (The other being Wife of a Diabetic, written anonymously, a window into a much darker world where the PWD in question is not taking care of himself and both partners suffer the consequences.)
Anna Q, on the other hand, describes her life this way:
I'm 38 years old, married 13 years to a Type 1 diabetic hunk. I have a very "spirited" toddler son and a very sweet baby daughter. On my quest for answers and education on things Diabetic, I didn't find any online support for spouses/ partners... so she started her blog, and later jumped right in here at "The Follies," including creating this lovely Wedding Photo.
Anna writes eloquently about how life with her beloved PWD, Jack, has shaped her own sense of self. Read on.
* Night Visitor *
I startle awake, my most paranoid senses on alert. The bedroom is pitched in moonless black, but I clearly hear intruder noises from the living room. And he (she?) is not being subtle about rampaging my apartment. My heart pounds as I shake my husband awake (thank the stars for 6'1" husbands who will charge out with male-ego blazing!). But Jack does not respond. Instead, he is slick with sweat, so hot, and starting to shake. He is in the middle of a hypoglycemia.
It is 6 months into our brand-new marriage, in a brand-new apartment, and (stupidly) I haven't learned yet to keep a glucose source in the bedroom. I also still carry faith in my girlish dreams of an invincible prince/husband (oh yeah, all that Cinderella/helpless princess crap persists despite my best intentions).
As Jack slips further into his low, my choice is clear: I need to confront the intruder to get Jack his glucose fix. So with some effort, I grow instant balls, silence the cringing princess, and grab the only available weapon - a plastic curtain rod from the floor. Of course, unless I directly jab the intruder in the eye with deadly precision, the rod is just sturdy enough to disable a bunny.
I inch towards the noise, responsibility for my husband's well-being pushing me out, fear almost keeping me back. As I reach the living room, I quickly flick the lamp on and the light reflects off a pair of slit eyes. We stare at each other, both in frozen surprise, then the cat turns and bounds out the window into the night.
What I learned that night was:
1) To always, always, keep glucose in the bedroom.
2) To close the windows at night.
3) That there would be times in my marriage when I would be utterly alone to face fears, make decisions, and take action.
4) That there would be times when my husband's health rests in my hands.
Those would seem to be quite basic and obvious, but a splash of cold reality for a cossetted and lazy 25-year-old.
Throughout the next 14 years, diabetes has been a constant and petty intruder into our relationship. It has, at different times, robbed my love for Jack, my respect for him, and my kindness towards him. It is an ever-present threat to peaceful days, health, and adds another burden to marriage (which, even under the best of circumstances, is more work than I could have ever predicted).
And yet, every time it does damage, it also does good. It reminds me to love him, and respect his personal burden, and how well he's dealt with this beast slung about his neck for so many years. It's fostered patience and understanding where I was sorely lacking. It's turned me from coddled girl to reluctant warrior princess (able to brandish a curtain rod at errant alley cats!). It reminds me that I chose him when I decided to marry him. And that I continue to choose him for reasons
beyond my comprehension (heh heh)...for reasons beyond his diabetes.

The Vatican issued an urgent appeal Thursday for the release of more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram.
The abduction of the young girls three weeks ago was the latest instance of the "horrible forms of violence" for which the militant Islamic group has become known in Nigeria, said the Vatican's chief spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi.
"The denial of any kind of respect for life and for the dignity of human beings, even the most innocent, vulnerable and defenseless, calls for the strongest condemnation," Lombardi said.
He added that the kidnappings aroused the most heartfelt feelings of compassion for the victims and a sense of horror for the physical and spiritual suffering and the incredible humiliation they have suffered.
"We hope and pray that Nigeria, thanks to the commitment of all who are in a position to help, may find the way to end the situation of conflict and hateful terrorism which is a source of incalculable suffering," he said.
Nigerian Cardinal John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan said Wednesday (May 7) that his country was shocked and shamed by the kidnappings.
The girls were abducted by heavily armed militants from a boarding school in the northern town of Chibok, provoking condemnation from around the world. There were also reports that 11 other girls were kidnapped from a second school Tuesday.
The kidnappings and subsequent threat by Boko Haram's leader to "sell" the schoolgirls have overshadowed a meeting of the World Economic Forum that opened in the Nigerian city of Abuja late Wednesday.
The U.S., England and France have dispatched teams of experts to Nigeria in a bid to help rescue the girls.

James Belviy couldn't hold back the fact that he's not a big fan of the color pink and isn't much of a golfer.
But on Monday, the 34-year-old from Copperas Cove took out the clubs and donned a pink golf shirt, put on a pink ribbon temporary tattoo on his cheekbone and wore the color.
Belviy wasn't playing for the shirt on his back or for himself. Belviy and 55 golfers took to the Stonetree Golf Club to play for the Waco chapter of the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
"I hate every shade of pink, but it's for a good cause. That's my teardrop," Belviy joked as he pointed to the temporary tattoo.
The club hosted the sixth annual Rally for the Cure golf tournament on an overcast day during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
The four-man scramble format tournament raised more than $1,700 for the foundation.
This year's amount of $1,710 was about $500 more than what the event raised last year.
Belviy was playing golf for just the second time in his life for his aunt, Vicki Walker, who is currently battling the disease.
Walker's cancer seemed to go into the remission, but then resurfaced in her liver and bones.
"It's just fun for me to be out here," Belviy said. "There's not much I can do to help her, but this is a little bit that I can do."
The group included other golfers who have lost loved ones to the disease like event organizer John Schultz.
"Hopefully next year we'll have more," Schultz said. "Hopefully we'll be in this location here.
"It'll definitely be in October and hopefully more people will come out for next year."
John started the event in 2008 when his sister, Tina Schultz, was fighting for her life after being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005.
Tina died in 2009 at the age of 49, but before she died, John promised her that he would start a golf tournament and keep it going until a cure was found.
The event included cash prizes for teams, pink-and-white-striped gift bags for participants and players could buy mulligans and donate more money to tee from shorter distances on certain holes.
Jim Cody and Zack Owen made the yearly trip from Waco, where they host the "Zack and Jim in the Mornings" radio show on 100 FM, to Killeen for the tournament.
"We cut out a little bit early," Owen said. "My boss said, 'What are you all doing, are you done for the day?' I said, 'Yeah, we're going to play golf.'"
"This is one of the only golf courses in the area we haven't torn up yet so we're looking forward to it," Cody said before the start of his round.
The foursome of Allen Mills, Haval Abbas, Nathaniel Fowler and Shane Freeberg won the tournament by a stroke with a team score of 58.

The hoariest and most oft-repeated cliche in American politics may be that America is the greatest country in the world. Every politician, Democrat and Republican, seems duty bound to pander to this idea of American exceptionalism, and woe unto him who hints otherwise. This country is "the last, best hope of mankind,'' or the "shining city on the hill,'' or the "great social experiment.'' As if this weren't enough, Jimmy Carter upped the fawning ante 30 years ago by uttering arguably the most damning words in modern American politics. He called for a "government as good as the American people,'' thus taking national greatness and investing it in each and every one of us.
Carter was speaking when Watergate was fresh, and government had been disgraced, but still. The fact of the matter is that whenever anything really significant has been accomplished by our government, it is precisely because it was better than the American people.

The Australian Industry Group (AIG) has accused the Gillard Government of using its second round of changes to the Fair Work Act as a "back door" way of reintroducing compulsory arbitration.
AIG chief executive
Mr Willox wrote to Mr Shorten in a letter that the AIG had "strong and deeply held objections" over proposals to give unions the "ability to force employers into arbitration after protracted bargaining and to expand union entry rights".
"Both of these proposals overturn outcomes that the government implemented after a very hard fought consultation process with industry and union representatives," he said.
Mr Willox also argued that the proposal was incompatible with Australia's enterprise bargaining system.
He said unions had pushed hard for the government's review of the Fair Work Act to support expanding the Fair Work Commission's arbitral power, focusing on the deadlocked negotiations at bionic hearing maker
But the AIG argued that the review did not recommend any changes to arbitral powers, apart from greenfields agreements, and the government was being "misleading".
"The outcome of arbitration is not an enterprise agreement, but rather a determination which all parties must comply with," Mr Willox said.
"The proposal is effectively little other than a back door reintroduction of compulsory arbitration."
The AIG has also blasted the plan to give the unions the right to meet with employees in lunch rooms, arguing it would "disturb longstanding provisions" of workplace law.
"Currently, employers have the right to determine the location of union meetings in their workplace provided that the location is reasonable. Unions have the right to challenge the location in the Fair Work Commission if they regard it as unreasonable. There have been very few disputes about this issue over the years because employers typically are reasonable."
Labor's "Forward with Fairness" implementation plan, released in August 2007, had promised it would "maintain the existing right of entry rules".

Why is Prince Harry grinning? Women's beach volleyball. Or maybe the pretty girl sitting next to him.
Taking in matches today at Horse Guards Parade within sight of Buckingham Palace, Harry looked like a happy lad watching the women players in their skimpy bikinis hurtle around the sand court.
As an Olympic ambassador, Harry has been here, there and everywhere at the Olympics, especially cheering on Team GB in a variety of sports. However, it was an all-Yanks final for the gold medal in women's volleyball and it went to the team of Kerri Walsh and Misty-May Treanor.
Photos showed Harry in the stands for a match featuring Brazil and China, next to the British cycling gold-medal winners, Laura Trott and Jason Kenny. Harry and Laura, who is basking in acclaim as a new British sports heroine, shared lots of giggles, reported The Mirror.
Even before the Summer Games started in London last week, some women players told reporters they were excited by word that Harry would be attending at least some of the matches. Volleyball might not be Harry's chosen sport but earlier this year, during a goodwill trip to Brazil, he plunged enthusiastically into a match on beautiful Copacabana beach.
