Jews in Palestine. By A. Revusky. Vanguard, $3.50. 390 pp. Self-Government of the Jews in Palestine. By Moshe Burstein. Bloch, $3.298 pp.
Palestine today is a center of interest not only to Jews but to all intelligent people throughout the world. Hitherto known only as the land of the Bible and as a country for pilgrimage, Palestine has during recent years become an important commercial center and one of the few lands where prosperity prevails.
With the world's interest in Palestine growing, a definite lack of information on the contemporary developments of the country is felt. There are hundreds of books on Palestine, but not one giving a complete picture of what Palestine is today.
Mr. Revusky's book, Jews in Palestine, bridges this gap. Though it is devoted chiefly to the Jewish angle of Palestine, the book contains a mass of information on the non-Jewish aspects of the country and on the relations between it and the neighboring countries in the East.
It will not be exaggerating to say that Mr. Revusky's book is the best standard volume on Palestine. It brings information from every angle,—political, economic, historic and racial,—up to 1934. It is a book which ought to be on the desk of every person interested in Palestine.
Himself born in Palestine and a leader of the left Poale-Zion party in Europe and America, Mr. Revusky has succeeded in presenting in his book the most complete picture of the Jewish development in Palestine before and since the Balfour Declaration. It is against that Mr. Revusky took pains to see that the facts and the figures which he presents were verified and substantiated by official documents. After reading through Mr. Revusky's book one is actually able to comprehend the important role that the Jews have played since the Balfour declaration in bringing Palestine up to its present flourishing status.
Correct and pedantic in every detail, Mr. Revusky seems to show some partiality in his information on the activities of the Revisionists. He enumerates, for instance, all the Hebrew newspapers published in Palestine, but he omits mentioning among them the Hayarden, a Hebrew Revisionist daily.
As a whole, however, the book written by Mr. Revusky is a fine and valuable contribution to the contemporary literature on Palestine. It is a book of history and sociology and, at the same time, a book of standard reference, It is the kind of book which ought to be used as a textbook in all schools, Jewish and non-Jewish, on subjects dealing with Palestine. The Vanguard press is to be highly commended for publishing this book.
Self-Government of the Jews in Palestine, by Moshe Burstein, is a valuable handbook on Palestine, especially for those who are interested in obtaining information on the various Jewish agencies and institutions existing in Palestine. It is more limited in its contents than the book by Mr. Revusky, but has obviously been written by a man who resides in Palestine and who has made a thorough study of Jewish communal life there.
Mr. Burstein's book is especially valuable for its details on the activities and the regulations of the local Jewish community and its relations with the Palestine government. It also contains authentic data concerning the history of all the Jewish central organizations operating in Palestine.
Bruno Frank's first book to appear under the imprint of the Viking Press has been selected by the Book – of – the – Month Club for March. It's a biographical novel, "A Man Called Cervantes."
Viking will shortly publish Joseph Roth's "Antichrist," a study of evil in the modern world. They also promise eight short stories by Lion Feuchtwanger.

How much of this "Great News" is actually revenue in the United States? What impact does this news have for the over all economy, that is the question that needs to be answered.
If not everything else is just useless information.

This Week in Apple History
Published October 28th, 2004
This week (July 10-11) in 1981, Apple saw the departure of its first president, Michael "Scotty" Scott. Mr. Scott had been brought in from outside Apple in 19977 to help bring some corporate credibility and direction for the fast growing company. In 1981, however, investors were not happy with Mr. Scott because of some setbacks at Apple.
In 1992, another outsider was brought into Apple. Gaston Bastiaens was recruited from Phillips Electronics to head Apple's new Personal Interactive Division, which included the Newton. That means, of course, that he wasn't to last long at Apple, and sure enough, he was out a year after the Newton shipped.
Being the second week of a new quarter, the July 10-17 week in Apple history tends to be one for reporting financial results. In 1999, for instance, the company reported a massive profit of US$ 203 million, though much of that came from the sale of stock holdings the company owned. We have other year's highlights below.
The most important thing that happened this week in Apple history, at least when looking through a contemporary lens, was the release of Jaguar, Mac OS X 10.2. Apple unleashed this version of its flagship operating system, the first to be publicly marketed under its cat-based code name, in 2002. Jaguar really brought Mac OS X to the forefront of the computing industry, and was a big success for the company.
You can find more information on many of the entries below in Owen Linzmayer's excellent Apple Confidential 2.0. The other entries can be found in TMO's archives, and we link to articles whenever we can.
July 11-17
1981: Apple's first president, Michael "Scotty" Scott, resigns after four and a half years of helping establish the company's infrastructure and guiding the firm through an enormously successful initial public offering. Scott's fate was sealed after the unpopular "Black Wednesday" firing of 40 employees and termination of several unproductive hardware projects in the wake of the disappointing Apple III.
1992: Belgian-born Gaston Bastiaens is named VP and general manager of Apple's newly formed Personal Interactive Electronics (PIE) division, which included the Newton project. Bastiaens came to Apple from Philips Electronics in Eindhoven, Netherlands, where he had been director of the Consumer Electronics Division and general manager of the Interactive Media Systems Group, helping launch the Philips CD-Interactive player. Bastiaens left Apple less than a year after the Newton MessagePad finally shipped. In 2001 he was arrested for securities violations during his tenure as CEO and president of Lernout & Hauspie Speech Products.
1999: Blowing away analysts' estimates, Apple posts a profit of US$203 million for its seventh consecutive profitable quarter. Almost half the income comes from the sale of 10 million shares of ARM Holdings plc., which Apple had acquired in conjunction with its development of the Newton. Apple sold almost a million Macs (representing unit growth of 40%), spurred in large part due to demand for the iMac, which accounted for more than half of all units sold in the quarter.
2001: After taking a pounding for the last couple of quarters, largely for the failure of the Power Mac G4 Cube and the dwindling interest in the CRT-based iMac, Apple manages to post a US$61 million profit for the past quarter.
"We had a great education quarter, with significant year over year growth, and a great iBook quarter, shipping over 182,000 of our new wildly popular consumer and education notebooks," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "Perhaps the most strategic event of the quarter was the launching of Apple Retail Stores, with the very successful openings of our first two stores, and plans to open 23 more in 2001."
2002: At the Macworld Expo in New York City, Apple announces a slew of new products, including Mac OS X 10.2 ("Jaguar"), a 17-inch flat screen iMac, the .Mac online service (formerly called iTools), iTunes 3.0, and a new generation of iPods featuring the industry's first solid-state touch wheel. Most significantly, the new iPods are available for the first time to both Mac and Windows customers.
2003: Apple announces financial results for its fiscal 2003 third quarter ended June 28, 2003. For the quarter, the Company posts a net profit of US$19 million, compared to a net profit of US$32 million in the year-ago quarter. Revenues for the quarter were up 8 percent from the year-ago quarter and up 5 percent sequentially, and gross margins were 27.7 percent, up from 27.4 percent in the year-ago quarter. Apple shipped 771,000 Macintosh units during the quarter. "This was a great new product quarter for Apple, starting with the iTunes Music Store and the new third-generation iPods, and ending with the announcement of the Power Mac G5 and the developer preview of Panther, the fourth major release of Mac OS X," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO.

Crabbing at Las Palmas
I love seafood.
It's actually a well-known story in our family that my mother craved seafood when she was pregnant with me and my dad took her out every Friday night for nine months for shrimp scampi.
This was a huge splurge for them at the time, especially since the only place in Wisconsin Rapids that had seafood in the 1970s was what is now the restaurant at the Hotel Mead, one of the ritziest establishments in that small city.
So, I guess it is no surprise that I have a weakness for all things seafood, especially the shrimp scampi at The Savoy Room, 1962 N. Prospect Ave.
But there is a lot to be said for just plain and simple seafood; peel and eat shrimp by the pound, raw oysters by the dozen, and oh yes, all-you-can-eat crab legs.
Scott and I ventured out to Las Palmas in West Allis, 1901 S 60th St., on the recommendation of a friend who said they had "the best crab legs in town." We were a little skeptical, firstly because Las Palmas is a Mexican Restaurant, and secondly, because when we pulled up, the place did not look very inviting -- we almost didn't go in.
But after stuffing ourselves silly on rich crab meat, I knew I had found one of my new favorite neighborhood restaurants. For $22.95 per person you get a huge Corona bucket of some of the freshest, most perfectly steamed crab legs you will find anywhere, and if you can finish that off, the staff here will keep bringing you more buckets until you are sated (Scott and I barely polished off one bucket together).
One of the novelties about all-u-can eat crab legs is that you have to work for your dinner, and while it is messy, it is usually fun (and sometimes frustrating) to crack the shells and pull out the sweet crabmeat within. At Las Palmas, the crab was so exceptionally steamed that a single crack will pull out the crabmeat in one piece, in one fell swoop.
And it is delicious. Even the top of the legs, where the legs conjoin to the crab's body, were sweet and tasty, and not at all fishy, which is the downfall often at restaurants that offer all-you-can-eat crab. The crab was so good, we hardly used the melted butter that accompanied it.
Las Palmas offers all-you-can-eat crab legs Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays for $22.95, and your order includes a side of rice and beans. Come hungry, and wearing clothes that won't suffer a few butter splatters. It is well worth it.

So I took my boyfriend out to eat for Fathers day at Las Palmas, when we got there we were greeted very friendly but our waiter was rude. I had ordered off the menu and it was okay but I didnt finish it so I packed it home but my BF got the ALL YOU CAN EAT. I gotta tell you its freakin EXPENSIVE if i knew that we wouldnt even eat there. It was 27 dollars just for those crab legs and some were over cooked. You couldnt even share the food, alot of people who do go to restaurants do share there food esp. couples, that they losing business in that even though they are taxing for the legs. The WORST thing about eating there is that they charge you 15% gratuity on every table even if you are under the party of 6. We were bill 7 dollars for gratuity, I couldnt believe that only us two were billed for that much. I had better food and services for under 50 dollars. Let me tell you I have eaten at really good places and have known to cook really good food for all kinds of people but for this much. Im not even cheap and work two jobs and Im complaining about 15% gratuity. I wouldnt even tip 7 dollars for two ppl at a table exp. with bad services. Oh and when I wanted to pack my food to go they rushed to give us the bill when my bf wasnt even finish with his ALL YOU CAN EAT CRAB LEGS, he still wanted another bucket. The place was busy with ppl but the ppl that was there before was still eating their food but we were rushed from the waiter to leave. By the time we finished our food no one else was really there but the ones who were there before us. WTH kind of services was that and plus my 7 dollars 15% gratuity too... I would never go there again and never refer that place to anyone and tell everybody how they charge so much for not even being up scale. FYI if someone that knows these ppl or work there tell your owner who suppose to be under new management to take that 15% gratuity off every table even if its under 6 ppl at a table. Las Palmas is not even upscale nor in a RICH neighborhood to even tax that much. Thank you but never will i return again to that place. You guys just losted alot of business by me even writing a review and if any one of you guys who do read this and feel the need to write me back please do so. I would glady go in details on to why you SHOULDN'T go there

Los Palmas is great. I admit the first time that I went, I was skeptical as well. But you don't even need the margarine or the sides that come with the all you can eat, sweet, sweet crab legs!!!!

While the crab legs are excellent at Las Palmas, the last time I was there, the "butter" was margarine. Just not the same as they used to be. When we first started going there, they were $14.95 which was an awesome deal but now, they are on the top end of "all you can eat crab legs" and they serve them with margarine. Very disappointing. Club Paragon serves 'em up just as well and with butter, if you don't mind the slower service.

Oh the memories of all the fantastic Scampi at the Mead!! However, the Scampi at the Savoy is fantastic and I would definitely go back again. But now my taste buds are getting ready for those Crab Legs the next time I'm in Milwaukee for a visit.

Legislators hear both sides of juvenile-lifer question
PHILADELPHIA -- As politicians and human rights advocates push to abolish life sentences without parole for juveniles, victims' families vow to push back.
State Rep. Kenyatta Johnson proposed legislation that would end life sentences without parole for juveniles and give those convicted when they were children a chance for a new sentence because, he said, "I believe in redemption."
"In some places, you'll get elected by just saying, 'Lock 'em up!'" Johnson, D-Philadelphia, said Wednesday at a state House Judiciary Committee hearing on House Bill 1999. "My constituents support this (legislation)."
Johnson could not say when or if the bill will go to the House floor for debate.
Opponents -- including Louis Schouwe, whose stepson, Christopher McNelly, was fatally shot in 1996 in Montgomery County -- believe some people, regardless of age, are a danger to society.
"They put a big hole in his chest," Schouwe said, his hands forming a softball-sized circle on his left breast. "And now they want to give (his killer) parole• If this guy gets out, he'll kill again. That's the reason I'm here. That's why we come to these hearings."
The United States is the only country that sentences juveniles to life in prison without parole, and Pennsylvania has about 450 juvenile lifers, more than any state, according to studies on juvenile sentencing.
For more than two hours inside City Council Chambers, committee members listened to testimony on the bill, which would allow current juvenile lifers the chance to appeal their sentences and grant convicts parole hearings after serving 15 years of a life sentence, and every three years thereafter.
Supporters said its aim is not to provide free passage out of prison, but to allow for a review of cases years after the offenses. They said life sentences without parole for juveniles are inhumane.
"Can we, in good conscience, continue to legislate from emotion?" said Julia Hall of the Pennsylvania Prison Society. "Are Pennsylvania's children meaner and more hopelessly criminal than the children of New York or New Jersey (which have) not a single child serving life without parole?"
One-third of the state's juvenile lifers "did not kill anyone but were lookouts, tagalongs and otherwise involved in homicide cases as accessories," Hall said.
One such case involved Robert Holbrook, then 16, who was a lookout for a robbery in Philadelphia that ended in homicide in 1990. Holbrook was convicted of murder and received an automatic sentence of life in prison without parole even though he did not know a killing occurred until hours later.
"The answer is not to throw away the lives of our children forever," said Holbrook's sister, Anita Colon of the Pennsylvania Coalition for the Fair Sentencing of Youth. "The fact that a child commits a crime does not negate the fact that they are still a child."
Bobbi Jamriska, 38, of Shaler disagreed.
In 1993, Maurice Bailey of Crafton Heights, then 16, fatally beat and stabbed Jamriska's sister, Kristina Grill, 15.
"There are bad seeds, individuals who are not fit to be part of a lawful functioning society," said Jamriska, who spoke on behalf of the National Organization of Victims of Juvenile Lifers. "There has to be within the legal system a means to keep these individuals from doing more harm to the innocent."
Life sentences without parole do not provide closure, but they do ensure that convicted killers cannot strike again, said Carol Schouwe and others opposing the bill.
"Supporting this bill is giving permission for juveniles to commit murder without the dire consequence of spending their lives behind bars," Schouwe said.
Of the state's 450 juvenile lifers, 315 are black, said Ashley Nellis, a research analyst with the Washington-based The Sentencing Project, which researches and advocates for sentencing reforms.
The cost to taxpayers to lock up a 15-year-old for life is $2.2 million, assuming the inmate lives to be 70 years old, Hall said.

Through its activities, the North Dakota Water Resources Research Institute facilitates research that prepares new scientists in the water resources field; trains future water resources scientists, engineers, and technicians; facilitates preliminary exploration of new ideas that address water problems or that expand understanding of water and water-related phenomena; and provides research results to water managers and the public.
The director manages the Institute program with a State Advisory Committee consisting of three members representing the three principal water agencies in North Dakota: State Water Commission, North Dakota Department of Health, and the USGS North Dakota District. The Institute's office is located in the College of Engineering at North Dakota State University (NDSU), a student-focused, land grant, research university.
Members serving on the Review Panel for the North Dakota Water Resources Research Institute who evaluate funding proposals expressed their appreciation for Dr. Padmanabhan's many years of leadership. "He has encouraged and administered a process to assist a large number of graduate students and advanced research initiatives that have contributed substantially to the understanding and management of the state's water resources. He worked to disseminate information from those studies for use by water management practitioners and the public," said Gregg Wiche, director, U.S. Geological Survey, North Dakota Water Science Center.
"Dr. Padmanabhan has administered an effective program and fostered a collegial culture," said William Schuh, special investigations coordinator, Water Appropriations, North Dakota State Water Commission. "We wish him the best in all his future endeavors."
"The Review Panel also congratulates Dr. Eakalak Khan on his appointment as the next director of the Water Resources Research Institute, and the panel looks forward to working with Dr. Khan in the future," said Peter Wax, an environmental scientist in the Division of Water Quality at the North Dakota Department of Health.
Recent research sponsored by the Institute includes topics of water quality and contamination, flooding, drainage, and groundwater.
"I look forward to serving the Institute and the citizens of the state to examine water issues that impact North Dakota," said Dr. Khan. "Building upon the leadership of Dr. Padmanabhan, we will continue the work on this most important resource."
Khan is a recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER award, an Odney Award for Excellence in Teaching, as well as teacher and researcher of the year from the College of Engineering at NDSU, and served as department chair. He is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, American Water Works Association, Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors, International Water Association, and Water Environment Federation.
Khan received his doctorate and master's degrees in civil engineering from the University of California, and a master's degree in agricultural engineering from the University of Hawaii.
"Under Dr. Khan's leadership, the Institute will continue its long-standing track record of serving the state, conducting research on issues affecting our region" said Padmanabhan.
In addition to his long service as director of the state's Water Resources Research Institute, Padmanabhan is a Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). He also serves on many committees of Environmental and Water Resources Institute (EWRI) of ASCE, American Water Resources Association (AWRA), International Water Resources Association (IWRA), and American Geophysical Union (AGU). He currently chairs a (ASCE/EWRI) Task Committee on Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) approach to water quality management at watershed scale. He maintains the importance of the interdisciplinary nature of water research and has sought to involve faculty and students in varied disciplines in the Institute's research projects.
Dr. G. Padmanabhan has served as co-principal investigator on a $4.8 million National Science Foundation collaborative project with tribal colleges in the state, as well as a National Science Foundation program to collaborate with tribal colleges in promoting engineering disciplines to underrepresented groups. He received his doctorate degree in civil engineering from Purdue University and a master's degree in hydraulic engineering from Madras University, India.

Darcy Lecture Hosted by the Geology and Geological Department, University of North Dakota
The Geology and Geological Engineering department of the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, hosted the 2014 Darcy Lecture on February 28, 2014. The Henry Darcy Distinguished Lecture Series in Groundwater Science was established in 1986 by the National Groundwater Association (NGWA) to foster interest and excellence in groundwater science and technology. The series — which has reached more than 85,000 groundwater students, faculty members, and professionals — honors Henry Darcy of France for his 1856 investigations that established the physical basis upon which groundwater hydrogeology has been studied ever since.
Dr. Dorthe Wildenschild is this year's Darcy Lecturer. Dorthe Wildenschild is an Associate Professor in the School of Chemical, Biological and Environmental Engineering at Oregon State University. Research in her group focuses on physics, chemistry, and microbiology of relevance to flow and transport in porous media. Much of her work is supported by high resolution imaging and applications primarily involve subsurface multiphase flow phenomena. She had a busy lecture circuit through Germany, France, The Netherlands, Israel, Scotland, and Switzerland before coming to Grand Forks.
Dr. Wildenschild presented two lectures, one at noon and another at 3:00 pm. The event was organized by Dr. Phil Gerla and Dr. Scott Korom from the department of Geology and Geological Engineering, UND. Both of them are NDWRRI affiliate faculty.
Dr. Wildenschild's lecture at noon was titled, "What Happens in the Pore, No Longer Stays in the Pore: Opportunities and Limitations for Porous Media Characterization and Process Quantification Using X-ray Tomography" and the 3:00 pm lecture was titled, "Optimizing Capillary Trapping as a Carbon Dioxide Mitigation Strategy: Pore-Scale Findings in Support of Larger-Scale Implementation."
Please feel free to learn more about her lectures at http://www.ngwa.org/Foundation/darcy/Pages/Current-Darcy-Lecturer.aspx.
Several NDWRRI Fellows (F), graduate students (GS) and faculty attended the lectures.

Alison's story
ruptured aneurysm
She has completed medical school, has won the Flying Pig Marathon and has reached the summit of two of Colorado's 14,000-foot peaks. During the last year and a half, Dr. Alison Delgado has been tackling a mountain of a different kind. Step by hard-earned step, word by remembered word, the young pediatric resident has come back from a bicycle accident that caused serious physical and neurological injuries and once again is working full-time at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Physicians at the Mayfield Clinic and UC Neuroscience Institute helped her through a series of procedures and treatments, while her husband, Dr. Tim Delgado, has been her No. 1 cheerleader and coach.
Alison Delgado was being stabilized at a community hospital following the cycling accident in October 2010 when Tim, an emergency department resident at University Hospital, arrived via Air Care. Tim was to provide assistance to a "Jane Doe cyclist in her 20s" during her transport to University's trauma center. When Tim realized that the accident victim was his wife, a second helicopter and physician were summoned.
Alison Delgado, who was wearing a bicycle helmet, did not suffer the kind of traumatic brain injury normally seen in bicycle accidents. Although she suffered numerous fractures to her neck and body, her skull was intact. Inside her brain, however, the impact created significant problems. It caused a blood vessel to tear and spill blood into the space around her brain, a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Further, the injury either led to the development of a dangerous aneurysm – a bulge in the blood vessel wall -- or aggravated an existing aneurysm. The discovery of a second aneurysm on the other side of her brain, said Lori Shutter, MD, a Mayfield neuro-intensivist, suggested that a genetic abnormality had elevated her risk of developing aneurysms.
During a series of procedures, Mayfield's neurosurgical specialists worked to treat the aneurysm and stop the bleeding. But the aneurysm ruptured a second time, four days after Alison had returned home from her rehabilitation at Drake Center. Mario Zuccarello, MD, Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery and a renowned cerebrovascular surgeon, finally neutralized the aneurysm. He rerouted the blood flow around the damaged artery in a delicate procedure known as an intracranial-extracranial bypass and then shut off blood flow to the aneurysm once and for all with a clip.
The worst behind her, Alison was able to focus on rehabilitation and recovery. She progressed rapidly from her lowest point, when she had trouble remembering Tim's name. They played Uno, Life and Scattergories. Using an iPad, Tim showed her photos and prompted her to search her memory for the words to describe them. Certain words, including "helicopter," proved elusive at first.
Recovery also meant daily workouts at the gym, with work on the elliptical, weight lifting, and plyometrics to improve her balance. At first Alison had to hold Tim's hand to do lunges; eventually she could do them with weights.
Reading came slowly at first, then more and more quickly. Sometimes Alison would have trouble finding the words she wanted to say, but her improvement and determination never ceased. Her speech therapist asked her to read a medical article and then write about it. She began attending rounds at Cincinnati Children's and, by February 2011, only four months after her initial injury, she had presented two cases at bedside rounds. "Everyone has been great and supportive," Alison said then.
Dr. Zuccarello wouldn't let Alison run again until after she had recovered from the surgical clipping of the second aneurysm, which he performed in early March 2011. But Tim was keeping her motivated. "We are focused on one goal: getting her back to work and to where she feels normal," Tim said. "She will feel normal when she gets back to work."
Finally, in April, Alison began working part-time. In May she was back full-time.
"I have been back at full speed over the past year," she said in March 2012. "I'm always asking for feedback from my attendings to make sure my performance is the way it should be, and everyone has given me good feedback. Over the past year I actually wrote a case report with two of the emergency department attendings, and we have submitted it to the journal Pediatrics."
Alison will have to make up extra time in residency but is expecting to finish in December 2012. "After that, I plan to do primary care, but I have also been thinking about a sports medicine fellowship," she said. "Right now, I'm actually training for the Flying Pig Marathon, which is happening on May 6. I've been in pretty good shape since I was able to start running again last year."
And then there are those mountains. There are 54 peaks in Colorado over 14,000 feet, Tim noted. "She wants to get the last 52."
Hope Story Disclaimer -"Alison's Story" is about one patient's health-care experience. Please bear in mind that because every patient is unique, individual patients may respond to treatment in different ways. Results are influenced by many factors and may vary from patient to patient.
Tim was to provide assistance to a "Jane Doe cyclist in her 20s" during her transport to University's trauma center. When Tim realized that the accident victim was his wife, a second helicopter and physician were summoned.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/2/2013 (1623 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Kristen Campbell was perfect in January.
The Westman Wildcats standout did not allow a single goal in Manitoba Female Midget Hockey League action last month, while posting five shutouts in six victories — earning one victory in a relief appearance — to earn the nod as the goaltender of the month.
The Grade 10 student from Brandon finished the regular season with a 15-5 record and led the league with a brilliant 0.62 goals-against average and .974 save percentage to help the Wildcats finish second with a 22-5-1 record. Campbell's performance in her first year of midget has already caught the eye of NCAA scouts.
"She's been getting lots of letters from universities down south for sure," Wildcats head coach Kary Kirkup said. "She's a great kid, a great student … and she has a real passion for the game."
It's the second straight goaltender award for Campbell, who will lead the Wildcats into their home tournament this weekend before the playoffs begin the following week.

A remastered classic originally heralding from 1965, Habit Rouge was recreated and relaunched in the year 2003 by Jean Paul Guerlain. Inspired by the dressage of horses this oriental fragrance expresses the man of refinement and practised finesse.
Opening in fruity citrus, Habit Rouge starts its display with a trail of lemon, orange and bergamot. Trotting on it gives way to a heart of spiced woods combining Brazilian rosewood, cinnamon and sandalwood smattered with jasmin for a slight aromatic breath. The fragrance then grounds in a warming but sweetened base marked in vanilla and spotted with smoky leather and warming amber.

In the wake of recent Imperial cult studies, including studies of the evidence that the NT reflects a critique of the Imperial cult (as Tom likes to put it— Jesus is Lord, and Caesar is not, the latter being the parody of which Christ is the reality), Chapter Five is in some ways the most crucial chapter thus far in Tom's first volume. It is a pity that Tom's book went to press shortly before the appearance of Jesus is Lord, Caesar is Not (eds. McKnight and Modica, IVP 2013), as it would be interesting to see his reaction to a certain amount of push back against the reading of imperial cult critique into many places in the NT, including a plethora in Paul's letters. The McKnight and Modica book largely concludes (through the voices of some 12 scholars counting the editors that anti-imperial rhetoric is not a major emphasis of the NT, nor was it a key purpose of the NT writers to oppose Rome in what they wrote. Indeed, some of the authors stress that the real opposition in the NT is not between God's Kingdom and the Emperor's, but rather God's rule and Satan's (though Satan might well be involved in the governmental structures in various ways). I would commend as well reading Chris Bryan's fine book Render unto Caesar for a critique on the imperial cult theory of interpretation of the NT. What then does Tom say about the matter?
In the first place, Tom gives a review of Roman history, what led up to their being the Empire, and the laudatory attempts by Virgil and others to explain the whole history of Rome as leading up to the climax in Augustus and a new golden age, call this Roman eschatology or teleology. The point of this is to suggest that perhaps this story of the Roman good news and king and kingdom influenced the way Paul told the story of Christ and kingdom, or served as a counterpoint thereto. This account takes until p. 311. Tom argues "Though the components of this great narrative are so radically different from the great single story in which the Apostle believed himself to be living, the overall shape, and indeed the very idea of there being such an overall shape to a centuries long story, would I think have been recognized at once." (p. 306). "There is every reason to suppose that an intelligent boy growing up in Tarsus or for that matter in Jerusalem, would know at least its main themes, if not its finer details." (p. 307).
Not surprisingly, this chapter proves to be one of the longest in the whole work. It is rather crucial to the picture of Paul and his thought world Tom is attempting to draw up.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 31/5/2012 (1882 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
For the fifth time this season and second straight day, the Winnipeg Goldeyes won with their last at-bat.
David Narodowski, the only Canadian on the team, scored on a wild pitch in the 10th inning to lift the Goldeyes to a 3-2 win over the Amarillo Sox before a crowd of 6,017 at Shaw Park. The crowd consisted mostly of local school children who were able to attend the game due to the 11 a.m. start.
Winnipeg relief pitcher Chris Kaminski got his first win while Andrew Bowman, who threw two wild pitches to end the game, took the loss for Amarillo.
"I'm not sure that we've ever had this many (last at-bat victories) in one season, and to have that many early is certainly a good sign," said Goldeyes manager Rick Forney, whose team played its third extra-inning game. "We certainly seem to enjoy playing for a full nine or 10 innings. We don't seem like we're in a hurry to get out of here, that's refreshing. To be honest, I see our at-bats are getting better as the game goes on."
The Goldeyes swept Amarillo for the second time this season. The Sox have lost seven games -- six of them to the Goldeyes. Winnipeg beat the Sox three straight in Amarillo to open the season.
The 9-3 Goldeyes meet the Gary SouthShore RailCats tonight at 7 p.m. with southpaw Fabian Williamson (0-2, 8.31) expected to get the start, while righty Kyle Wilson (0-1, 3.86) is expected to go for Gary. The second and third games against Gary will be Saturday at 6 p.m. and Sunday at 1:30 p.m.
Five other Goldeyes wins this young season were of the come-from-behind variety.
"We give ourselves a chance every day. That's certainly refreshing to watch and our pitching is key to our team right now," said Forney.
"As our starters seem to settle in they're giving us some quality starts, getting deeper into games and giving us a chance to play even for the first couple innings instead of playing from behind like we did the first road trip. The bullpen's fantastic again, we're getting contributions from everybody. Narodowski stepped up today and did a fantastic job."
Narodowski got his first start at shortstop on Thursday as Price Kendall took over at designated hitter.
"(Forney) came up to me this morning and said 'take advantage of this opportunity' and I tried to get as ready as I could," said Narodowski who went 2-for-4, including a critical one-out double in the 10th.
He scored on consecutive wild heaves by Bowman.
Third baseman Amos Ramon led the Goldeyes with three hits, including a double and a run scored. Yurendell de Caster, who moved from first to second in Thursday's game, had a sac fly to score Chris Roberson for Winnipeg's second run in the sixth.
Amarillo counted its first run in the seventh on an RBI single by shortstop Jason White.
The Sox tied the game 2-2 on an eighth-inning solo home run by third baseman Van Pope off Goldeyes reliever Kaohi Downing.
"This team, we find a way to win ball games and that's what good teams do. We find a way to win ball games and just grind it out," said Ramon, noting he felt better at the plate on Thursday than in recent games. "Me and Tommy (hitting coach Vaeth) have been working a lot in the cages trying to get me just to relax more. I want to do really well here."
Ramon is now a full-time resident of Winnipeg.
Fish starter Matt Rusch went six scoreless innings and struck out six. He also picked off runners at first for key outs in the second and third innings.
"Lou (Goldeyes catcher Luis Alen) called a (heck of a) game back there, a lot of credit goes to him," Rusch said. "We never get down on ourselves and even though they battled back and they tied the ball game, everyone still had confidence. That's something not many teams have."

The dollar briefly fell as low as ¥95.73-74, slipping below ¥96 for the first time since April 5, after standing at ¥96.35-39 at 1 p.m., down from ¥99.26-26 at 5 p.m. Thursday. The dollar fetched ¥96.44, down from ¥97.07 late Thursday in New York, where at one point it sank to ¥95.88. The greenback has lost around 4 percent since the start of the week.
The euro also slid against the Japanese currency to ¥127.69 from ¥128.55 in New York, while it sat at $1.3252 from $1.3243, after the European Central Bank held off fresh stimulus following an interest-rate cut last month.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 index closed down 26.49 points at 12,877.53, clawing back deeper losses earlier in the session, while the Topix index of all first-section shares was down 1.29 percent, or 13.82 points, to 1,056.95.
Friday's nonfarm payrolls will be used as an indicator for the Federal Reserve's next policy move, with expectations growing that it will soon begin to roll back on its monetary easing program.
"All eyes will be on the U.S. jobs report . . . as the market adjusts their expectations of the U.S. Fed's tapering timing," Credit Agricole said in a note.
Central bank stimulus has helped support stock rallies, but renewed concern about the state of the U.S. economy has stoked risk-aversion, which tends to usher in yen-buying, dealers said.

Response to
We're not IHMSA...
Should all classes be allowed to use buckets/stools(no backs or arms) regardless of sticks or bipods , so that all ages and body types can shoot in whatever class they want since many shooters can't get up and down to the ground. This would mean a bucket or stool allowed but no sticks in some classes that don't allow sticks for supports.
Sitting on a bucket with no sticks is less stable than sitting on a bumm bag and putting gun on knee. On a bucket you can't rest the gun on your knee and see through the scope. At least I can't.

Approximately 40,000 people survive SCA in the US annually.
For many survivors and their families, leaving the hospital after experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest can be an unsettling experience.
For instance, many survivors receive an implantable cardiovertor (ICD) to prevent future fatal arrhythmias and may have multiple concerns related to the device.
Survivors also commonly deal with memory loss or delayed recall. Forgetfulness and/or a reduced ability to comprehend or problem-solve can lead to increased stress, anxiety, anger and depression. But they can be managed.
Read our guide for more details and a listing of basic needs upon hospital discharge.
Download Guide (PDF, 12.1 MB)
Sharing Best Practices
Survivors play an integral role in educating the public about sudden cardiac arrest.
- Sharing survivor stories can have powerful influence and can be leveraged to challenge the public to learn CPR and place AEDs in their neighborhoods.
- Increase awareness of SCA through appearances, media interviews and fundraisers. Funds raised can be used to purchase AEDs for local businesses or churches.
- Survivors can take an active role in providing CPR training and in encouraging citizens to provide bystander CPR.
- Survivor groups can provide assistance to community groups who wish to purchase and place AEDs.

Gifts $25 and Under
Give a gift to show someone you're thinking of them. Whether it's for a birthday, a thank you gift, get-well encouragement, a new home or just because, a gift is a thoughtful item that loved ones always appreciate. It's so easy to let someone know you care, and with a budget of $25 there are plenty of options available to choose from.
If you've been invited to a barbecue or garden party, take a game of ring toss to play. Your host will be eager to let all the guests share in the fun of their gift as everyone takes turns to throw the hoops over the colored sticks. For someone who has a pool or loves going to the beach, a wet/dry bag is ideal for keeping their swimsuit in when they've finished in the water. The waterproof material stops the swimsuit soaking everything else and looks great with block print patterning.
Flowers are a traditional gift, but why not give tradition a twist by gifting a potted succulent? It doesn't matter if the receiver doesn't have a green thumb – a faux floral looks just as great as the real thing! Go a step further and give potted succulent candles and tealights. These little plants look almost too good to set alight.
Do you know someone who needs some help keeping track of their rings or earrings? Help them out with their jewelry with a beautiful hummingbird ring holder; the hummingbird's upturned beak and flapping wings act as ideal places to stack rings.
Are you feeling philosophical? Impart some wisdom to a friend with a quote tray. The pretty stoneware dish is printed with a quotation that is sure to make your friend smile. Enhancing organization, it's useful for keeping jewelry together or for putting keys in by the front door. Instead of a quotation, a fun phrase does the trick, especially for someone who enjoys traveling. A New York–inspired phrase tray keeps their favorite destination in mind as they reach for their keys.
Before they set off, your recipient might like some personalized luggage tags. Silver-plated tags look stylish and add a luxurious touch to the suitcases, particularly with the black or espresso leather strap. Engrave the tag with their name and address, or simply have the tag monogrammed in the center. A handcrafted leather tag is a luxurious gift that can coordinate with their passport holder and document pouch.
Fans of the NFL always appreciate a relevant sporting gift; why not surprise someone with an engraved NFL beer glass? Choose from a pub beer mug, a Pilsner glass or a pint glass and add the insignia of their favorite team. Personalize the glass with their name, which is etched under the NFL logo. Instead of glasses, monogram some vintage wood coasters. A set of four coasters looks stylish, and the monogrammed centers add a personal touch to the gift. An alternative to wood is linen, and a set of four woven Belgian flax coasters looks attractive on any table. Choose a color to complement the table settings and have them monogrammed as a special touch.
A printed frame is ideal for any occasion. They're available in many intricate designs that are striking and sparkling, and you can opt for a color that blends in with the rest of your recipient's decor. A photo frame looks stunning on a bookshelf or mantel, whether placed horizontally or vertically. For an even more thoughtful gesture, why not put a photo inside to remind your friend or family member of a special moment you shared together?
A set of guest towels is another lovely housewarming gift. Linen and cotton blend towels can be monogrammed as an extra gesture. The nautical themes of anchors, lighthouses and sea creatures look great in any bathroom. These gifts under $25 are sure to please anyone, as are the many other items available at Pottery Barn.

Join as a member. There's a certificate with your name on it.
I'm using Organic Groups and I've created Groups and a few Group content types (articles, forms, etc.). I created a custom Node Template layout (Panel) and added the 'Content create links' (under Organic Groups tab) to the content to be displayed on the layout. However, the Content Create links do not show up on the Group pages.
Other functions of the custom Node Template layout are working fine. I've also installed and enabled Entityreference prepopulate. I'm seeing some instructions like the ones below, but I don't see these options (or I just can't find them...).
On each of your group content types, edit the group reference fields to enable prepoplute
Click on "manage fields" and edit the field "og_group_ref".
Enable the checkbox labeled "Enable Entity reference prepopulate".
Enable the block named "Node content links".
In Structure - Content Types - Article - Organic Groups I see this:
Group content
Set the content type to be a group content, that can be associated with groups.
To unset the group content definition or change the settings you should delete the "Groups audience" field via Manage fields.
I have tried to delete the Group audience field, but it won't delete...
Thanks in advance for your help with this. I'm pretty new to Drupal and I've been troubleshooting this issue for days :/
OG version 7.x-2.2
More details needed
When you setup the Panel, did you add a context for the group as described in https://drupal.org/node/1041198 ?
Also, are you sure you need the EntityReference Prepopulate? Are you using this to set the Group Audience? OG already does this using the gids_node= parameter. You can see that if/when you have the "Content create links" working.
Do you really want to remove Article as group content? What happens when you try to delete the Group Audience field?
Entityreference prepopulate needed
After wasting a couple of hours on this I can assure you that you need to enable the Entityreference prepopulate module to get the link.
However you don't need the context (#8), it is now automatic.
well i use the
well i use the Entityreference prepopulate module but no thing show
I'm using 7.x-2.x-dev and panel
i need to use a block of menu to add contents to groups

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) Istanbul will not be among the cities set to hold a Live Earth concert next month.
Organizers cited insufficient interest and sponsors for the July 7 event.
Purple Concerts, the company that was organizing the Istanbul show, had hoped to hold a scaled down version of the concert.
"Despite all our efforts, there is no possibility to hold a live performance due to a lack of time," the company said in a statement.
Live Earth is designed to raise climate change awareness. Concerts are scheduled for London; New York; Tokyo; Shanghai; Johannesburg, South Africa; Sydney, Australia; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; and Hamburg, Germany.
A large screen will be set up in Istanbul for viewing the concerts in other cities, Cengizhan Yeldan of Purple Concerts told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Yeldan has said the government was preoccupied with elections on July 22, while fears of terrorist attacks and possible protests from environmental groups were keeping many would-be sponsors away.

The obvious next question is how to wait for multiple sockets and a latch at the same time? Perhaps we should have a select()-like interface where you can pass multiple file descriptors. Then again, looking at the current callers of select() in the backend, apart from postmaster they all wait for only one fd. > The socket should be monitored by using poll() if the platform > has it, since poll() is usually more efficient.

Well, we already use WaitForMultipleObjectsEx() to implement select() on Windows, so it should be straightforward to copy that.

In loving memory of our Jebidiah who we love so much. Jeb will be greatly missed and be in my heart forever. Jeb is my favorite and will always be my favorite.
It doesn't really suprise me that so many of the other memorials on this website are for German Shepherds. I understand that better than anyone.
Jeb was a stray at about 4-5 months old running down a very busy highway in Albuquerque, NM. I chased him down, put him in the car and headed to work...at the Emergency Clinic for Animals. Jeb had on a choke collar and rabies tag. I called the clinic where the rabies vaccination was given and got a number for some folks that owned a collie. The quickly informed me that they did not have a German Shepherd. Nobody ever came forward to claim him. At that time I also worked part time at animal control as a euthansia technician and I knew he didn't have a chance there as at that time, euth rates were at about 85%. The funny part is that I did not really like German Shepherds at that time and already had 3 dogs at home. I decided to keep him despite requests from my boyfriend at the time that we already had enough dogs. To help ease this, I named him Jebidiah Springfield from the Simpson's and that sealed the deal.
We were an instant hit. We were inseperable. Jeb went to work with me every single day. We went to dog class twice weekly and he was the superstar. We competed in some obiedience trials together, which we did well in, but didn't like the competitive atmosphere. And most of all, we played ball...and then more ball....and then more ball. I remember one time specifically that I took him down to the Bosque del Apache for a swim. I had no idea that the current was so strong and the mud so think. He started to bob up and down in the water, so I just jumped in to get him and we both had to be pulled out by some dude, who thought I was crazy, into his boat.
He comforted me after a long day of having to euthanize other peoples' dogs and after seeing horrible cases of abuse and neglect. I think he worked extra hard to try to please me knowing that I was in this moral dilemma. Sometimes I wonder when it's time for me to go, will I be judged for all the dogs that I have killed? I hope Jeb tells them that I only did it because I love dogs so much.
After spending a few years in New Mexico, we moved to Madison, WI where I finished school at the UW. Maybe, Rupert and Jeb all came with me. I started volunteering with German Shepherd rescue and then later formed Madison Mutts, an all breed rescue.We got into agility and Jeb was a natural. Life was really going well here. Jeb acquired a few more dog friends which he loved to play with. I have been so lucky to be able to spend all my days and nights with my best friend. Vacations, everything.
We lost Rascal and Rupert before Jeb died. I hope that they are together. And I hope Jeb has his ball. I wonder if dogs do go on somewhere, which for the time being, it's the only thought that gives me comfort, that there is an automatic tennis ball machine.
Jeb was diagnosed with acute leukemia, a rare cancer in dogs. Jeb had every medical bell and whistle possible, including staring Chemotherapy at the veterinary school. From the time I first noticed he wasn't feeling well, to the time we let him go was just over a week.
On his last day with me, I put him up into my bed and just held him for a few hours until Adam could get home. I knew what I had to do. He didn't want to play ball anymore and we were losing him. I wasn't sure that I could have euthanized my own dog but my vet gave me the injection just in case so that he didn't have to get dragged around to the ER and could go peacefully at home. I gave Jeb his injection and he was gone. Peacefully and quickly. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do.
If I had to do it over again, I would. All the pain and hurt I feel now is because of all the joy that this precious dog gave me.
We miss you so much!
Those of us who choose to share our lives with lives even more temporary than our own, live in this fragile circle, easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we would still live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never really understanding the big plan.
I am so glad you got to have your baby kitties the night before you left us. I know you loved that.
Jeb loved cats. I mean to the point of almost an obsession. If we ever had foster kittens, he would shred our stuff to make a little nest for them. He did the same thing for orphaned wildlife, birds, you name it. It's the only thing he loved more than BALL.

Interview with Todd Eckert, Ford Trucks Marketing Manager
PickupTruck.com interviewed Todd Eckert, Ford Trucks Marketing Manager, about the introduction off the new F-450 Super Duty and what it means to the heavy duty pickup market.
PickupTruck.com: Todd, thanks for taking the time to talk with PickupTruck.com today. Let's discuss the new 2008 Ford F-450 Super Duty. Can you give us an overview?
Todd Eckert: The F-450 is new in our (Super Duty) lineup, (previously) it's been just a chassis cab. Now, for the first time for the retail market we're introducing the F-450 with a pickup box. The reason for this is simple – our consumer demands it, because it will provide over 24,000 pounds towing and over 6,000 pounds of payload capacity. Really, when you think about it, that's a lot. It's over 12 tons of towing capacity!
You might ask, why would we do that? Well, the bottom line is that when you look at the recreational vehicle (RV) market and you look at horse trailers these days, they keep getting bigger and bigger. You're seeing RVs that have countertops made of granite, so those things are also getting heavier and our consumers are demanding the capability to tow them – thus the F-450 pickup.
So, we're very excited about it. In addition, when you talk about trucks from Ford, and specifically the Super Duty, we typically talk about the three Ps: Presence, Power, and Package and then a variety of other things that go along with that like capability.
In terms of presence, on the new Super Duty we've done a variety of things. The hood and front end are all new. The grille is raised and stronger from an overall powerdome view. Also, the grille has gotten larger and you'll see in a number of places we've stamped Super Duty at the top so that you won't miss where you're at or what's coming at you. The grille is much more muscular.
The key to all these design improvements we've made on the Super Duty is not only do they look great, and tough, but they also have a functional purpose. The grille is larger because it allows more air to get into the engine compartment to cool that engine. We have an all new 6.4-liter diesel engine that we'll talk about later. And, there's a different stack for the headlamps and a clearly stronger looking front end.
PUTC: Is the plan to make the F-450 only available with a diesel?
Eckert: Yes, the F-450 pickup truck only has the diesel engine and it's only available in a crew cab with an 8-foot box. Those are some of the restrictions on the F-450 but ultimately it's because we know our buyers are looking for the absolute top-end of capability.
PUTC: Talk a little about the stricter emissions requirements this year and what changes you needed to make to the Power Stroke (diesel) to accommodate them, and how you plan to handle even stricter emissions requirements in the future. How are you going to manage the pricing of these diesels as it increases costs to meet emissions requirements?
Eckert: Basically what we've done in our Super Duty, remembering one of the Ps is Power, is offer an all new 6.4-liter Power Stroke Diesel engine. It's a turbo diesel engine. Not a twin turbo, but dual sequential turbos. The purpose for that is its new technology and we think important because the key is getting that heavy load or whatever you're towing moving from a dead stop. So, there's a smaller turbo that starts the process at very low RPMs. Once it's spooled up and you're at higher and more mid-level RPMs, the second turbo kicks in as well, so they're both working together and then the final one takes you at the highest RPMs. It will deliver 650 lb-feet of torque. The key to that is at 2,000 RPM is where the torque peak comes in, so it's very low on the torque curve.
When it comes to emissions we've added extra (particulate) filters to the engine and increased the engine temperatures. We add a filter to the front end and all the way back to the exhaust on the back end. The higher temperatures help burn off particulates that would have been out in the air and the filters catch the rest, so there's ultimately a 90 to 95% reduction in particulate emissions.

Celeb Cameos: The Best Spring 2014 Ads
With each episode focusing on a different life story, the show provides contextual curveballs in the form of edifying flashbacks: "It's about showing women for who they are," says Samira Wiley, who, as the smiley Poussey Washington, adds much-needed levity to the grim environs. In the words of Kate Mulgrew, matriarchal head chef Galina "Red" Reznikov: "These are not mass murderers. These are women who tripped—some just slipped on a banana peel." Dayanara Diaz (Dascha Polanco), pregnant with a prison guard's baby, is the show's off-its-axis moral compass, while Lorna Morello (Yael Stone) feigns normalcy with a dubious-sounding fiancé—and her trademark red lip. "A lot of us put together a look as a shield," the Australian native says. "That Natalie Wood fantasy is quite strong for her."
It was a long-ago decision—to launder money at the behest of her then cartel-kingpin girlfriend—that landed the show's lead, the preppy, engaged-to-a-guy Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), behind bars. As she learns to deflect unsolicited romantic advances, pint-size bullies, and her locked-up ex, Alex, a grittier Piper emerges: "She'd had it up to here," Schilling says of season one's shocking cliff-hanger. "It's fun to play a character with such a dramatic shift."
On Schilling: Dress, Christopher Kane; bracelets, Bulgari and De Beers.

Congresswoman Janice Hahn (CA-44) released the following statement today in recognition of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day:
"Today as a nation, we remember and honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary of Dr. King's march on Washington and his historic "I Have A Dream" speech. Dr. King's life work represented a steadfast commitment to ensuring and advancing equality for all people. This day holds a special memory in my heart from when I was a young child. During the Civil Rights Movement in 1961 my father, Kenny Hahn was the only elected official to welcome Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to Los Angeles. Although aware of the political ramifications of his decision, he knew it was the right thing to do. This simple, but courageous act by my father has been a guiding principle throughout my career to always stand up and fight for what is right.
It was Dr. King who said, "The time is always ripe to do that which is right."
Whether we are fighting for quality and equal education, safer neighborhoods or better jobs, let us begin as Dr. King began, with the belief "that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.' In honor of Dr. King, let us engage in answering his call to service by building stronger communities not just on this day, but every day."
