Descriptive Summary and Abstract
Detailed Description of the Diary
Inventory of American Field Service Ambulance Driver Diary:
19 May-9 June 1915
Biographical Note
From internal evidence in the text, the diary's writer was apparently an ambulance driver with the American Field Service ambulance service, Section Two, based in Pont-á-Mousson, France during the early part of World War I. Volunteers from several countries provided ambulance service for the French Army before the United States entered the war in 1917. The group with which this diarist served, the American Ambulance Field Service, was formed in April 1915 under A. Piatt Andrew as an auxiliary of the American Ambulance Hospital at Neuilly hospital, established in 1914 by wealthy Americans living in Paris. Becoming independent of the hospital about a year afterwards, the service's name was shortened to the American Field Service. Section Two began service in the middle of April 1915, assigned to the Bois le Prêtre region, quartered first at Dieulouard, then at Pont-à-Mousson. Section Two remained in this sector until February 1916, when it was moved to the Verdun sector.
The diary itself begins at an entry for 19 May 1915 with the driver's departure from Paris, to report to the Bureau, or main Section office of the service, at Pont-á-Mousson, which he often abbreviates to Pont. in diary entries. The hospital is based in Dieulouard. It seems that, generally, the ambulance drivers would evacuate wounded combatants from the front only a short distance away, to the hospital at Dieulouard, then report to Pont-á-Mousson, where they were billetted in houses. Wounded could also be evacuated to the French railroad base at Belleville, for transport elsewhere. The diary's driver is often under fire, either while driving the roads among convoys, or in the towns being shelled, and, on at least one occasion, even at his billet, called a caserne.
Among other clues, his English grammar and spelling, as well as his use and spelling of French terms, indicates that he was probably well educated. He is also clearly interested in becoming an aviator, and visits a French aviation field with a friend from the American Field Service on his time off. Description of German prisoners in the town square, serious casualties called couchés, episodes of shelling, the hazards of evacuating casualties under fire, as well as the daily life of an American volunteer soldier serving in World War I before the official entrance of the United States is terse and vivid. The narrative presents an interesting contrast of intense activity and intermittent loafing in the French towns and countryside, including a tour of such battle areas as Bois-le-Prêtre, the site of the First Battle of the Marne.
The entries end abruptly with 9 June 1915.
It may be noted that the donor of the diary, George Stratemeyer, probably did not write the diary since he served with the 7th and 34th Infantry divisions in Texas and Arizona until September 1916, immedately after his graduation from the U.S. Military Academy in June 1915. He subsequently became commanding officer of the Air Service Flying and Technical Schools at Kelly Field, Texas in May 1917. The diary may have come into Stratemeyer's possession at Kelly Field from an aviator being trained or otherwise based there. Ambulance drivers who served first as volunteers in France seem to have transferred to other branches of the service, in several cases the Air Service, after serving in the American Field Service for possibly only a few months.

Just as one Greek crisis appears to be dissipating, another one flares up that risks pushing Athens into default in a matter of weeks. For those struggling to follow along, here's another one of our quick primers – and a guide for what to watch for in the coming days.
For much of the last month, officials have been fretting that unless they can piece together a new €120bn bail-out for Greece by next week, Athens would run out of money. The first default by an advanced economy in 60 years would ensue, potentially wreaking havoc across the eurozone.
The reason behind the fear was a complicated domino effect that started with the International Monetary Fund: the IMF was going to withhold its €3.3bn in aid due this month unless the European Union could ensure Greece could pay its bills for another year. Greece, however, is going to be unable to pay its bills next year without a new bail-out. Read more

Dan R. Leach's viewing of Mel Gibson's cinematic depiction of the last hours of Jesus, along with the discussion with a family friend, led him to walk into the Fort Bend County sheriff's department earlier this month and confess to killing Ashley Nicole Wilson, Detective Mike Kubricht said.
A coroner had ruled her death by hanging a suicide.
Wilson's body was discovered Jan. 19 in her apartment near Richmond, southwest of Houston. All physical evidence pointed to suicide, Kubricht said, and the 19-year-old had gone off anti-depressant medications because she was pregnant.
The pregnancy apparently was the motive, Kubricht said, because Leach believed he was responsible and did not want to raise a child.
Leach, 21, wore gloves and left none of his own DNA behind, Kubricht said.
"He was very, very meticulous," Kubricht said. "It was very well-planned and well executed."
There was no answer at Leach's residence in Rosenberg on Thursday. He was arrested Tuesday, a day after his indictment for murder, and remained in county jail on $100,000 bond.
He was expected to get a court-appointed attorney, Kubricht said.
"Something (the adviser) said, between that and the movie, he felt in order for him to have redemption he would have to confess his sin and do his time," Kubricht said.
Leach faces up to life in prison if convicted.


text: Notice of assessment As previously stated, funds must report member contributions details each financial year. We use this information as well as information from the person's tax return and information from first home saver accounts to determine if the concessional or non-concessional contributions caps have been exceeded. Section 292-230External Link requires us to make an assessment of the amount of ECT that a person is liable to pay for a financial year. An ECT assessment covers both concessional and non-concessional contributions that exceed their respective caps. Once we make the assessment, the person must be given a notice in writing as soon as practicable. The notice may be included in a notice of any other assessment made under the ITAA 1997 (including a notice of assessment for ECT). If an individual disagrees with the calculation of total contributions for their ECT assessment, making an application for discretion to have the contributions disregarded or reallocated is not necessarily the correct first option. The rectification of any reporting errors should be discussed with the super funds and if the fund does not need to change, or will not change, their reporting, an amendment request or objection can be lodged. An amendment request should be made on the grounds that the assessment is factually incorrect, for example an amount was incorrectly reported in the person's tax return or the amounts reported by a super fund are incorrect. If a person receives an assessment and they believe the law has been incorrectly applied, they should lodge an objection to the assessment. An application for discretion to have contributions disregarded or reallocated should be lodged when the applicant believes there are special circumstances as to why the concessional or non-concessional contributions caps have been exceeded. An individual seeking to fix ECT problems by amending a super fund's annual return and re-reporting member contributions to allocate amounts to another member, needs to ensure there is a factual basis for re-reporting. They must be careful not to make a false or misleading statement while attempting to resolve an ECT problem. We have the power to apply an administrative penalty for false or misleading statements made from 4 June 2010 for an SMSF annual return and member contributions statements. End of attention For more information about: objections and amendments, see Objections and amendments Commissioner's discretion, see Commissioner's discretion. Part-year assessments Under section 292-235External Link, we may issue a part-year assessment and treat the period as if it is a financial year, if justified. In these cases, we must also make an assessment for the actual financial year as soon as possible after the end of that year unless the assessment would not differ in a material way from the part-year assessment. A part-year assessment does not provide more than one cap for the relevant income year. Validity of assessment Under section 292-240External Link, the validity of assessments is not affected through non-compliance with provisions in the ITAA 1997. Conclusive evidence of ECT assessment Section 292-250External Link states that the conclusive evidence rules found in section 177External Link of the ITAA 1936 also apply to ECT assessments. The production of a notice of assessment shall be conclusive evidence of the due making of the assessment and, except in proceedings under Part IVC of the TAA on a review or appeal relating to the assessment, that the amount and all the particulars of the assessment are correct. Commissioner's power to obtain information Under section 292-470External Link, the Commissioner has the same powers to obtain information as provided by section 264External Link of the ITAA 1936. That is, section 292-470External Link allows the Commissioner to request in writing any person to: furnish information as is required to give evidence to produce books and other records. Super fund reporting obligations The reporting obligations for super funds, to enable us to make ECT assessments are contained in Division 390External Link of Schedule 1 of the TAA. For more information about reporting obligations, refer to the Member contributions statement protocol. End of further information Last modified: 22 Nov 2013QC 34181

Our Work
This is an excerpt from MSF's 2015 International Activity Report:
In July, MSF opened the Kgomotso care center to provide emergency medical and psychosocial care to victims of sexual violence in Rustenburg, a large town in the 'Platinum Belt' mining area of South Africa.
In Rustenburg, one in three women reports having been raped at some point in their life. Since the project opened, MSF health promotion teams have spoken to over 25,000 adults and high school students about sexual and gender-based violence. MSF aims to use this project as a model for providing comprehensive care for victims of sexual violence in South Africa, and to advocate for a primary care-level response run by nurses and psychologists instead of a centralized physician-led service. Raising public awareness and encouraging women to break their silence is also extremely important, as the preliminary results of an MSF survey show that up to 30 per cent of women do not seek medical care after a sexual assault.
Emergency Intervention in Durban
In April, an emergency team from our Eshowe project responded to an outbreak of xenophobic violence in the coastal city of Durban. Over 7,000 migrants, mainly Malawians, Zimbabweans, Mozambicans, Congolese and Burundians, fled and sought refuge in three hastily erected displacement camps. MSF provided medical care, psychosocial counselling, water and sanitation logistics, and helped coordinate the response with other organisations like the International Committee of the Red Cross and UNHCR, the UN refugee agency.
Stop Stockouts
The Stop Stockouts Project (SSP) is a civil society initiative in which MSF, in collaboration with other organisations, monitors availability of essential drugs in clinics across the country, engages with health authorities to monitor stockouts, and pushes for shortages to be resolved more quickly. Published at the 7th SA AIDS Conference in Durban in July, the second SSP report revealed that one in four clinics surveyed experienced shortages of medicines, thereby confirming that drug stock outs are a threat to public health and could undermine the progress made in South Africa's antiretroviral (ARV) treatment program, which is the largest in the world, reaching over 3 million patients.
In Khayelitsha on the outskirts of Cape Town, MSF's oldest HIV project in South Africa continues to provide specialized treatment for children failing first-line ARV treatment, as well as develop innovative ways to support HIV-positive young people and pregnant women, and is at the forefront of operational research to diagnose and treat HIV-infected infants at birth. MSF provides testing and treatment for HIV and also tuberculosis (TB), as co-infection rates are high. Recently, for the first time in South Africa, a patient with extensively drug-resistant TB was started on a combination of drugs including delamanid and bedaquiline, the only new drugs developed to treat TB in the last 50 years.
MSF's HIV-TB program covering Mbongolwane and Eshowe in KwaZulu-Natal continues to 'bend the curves' of the epidemic. In 2015, more than 60,000 people were tested for HIV, 750,000 condoms were distributed and over 3,600 men underwent voluntary circumcision, which is proven to decrease the risk of HIV transmission.
At the end of 2015, MSF had 242 staff in South Africa. MSF has been working in the country since 1999.
Patient Story
Thembisa – 24 years old, from Khayelitsha
"Coming from the clinic that day in 2008, I felt like everyone could tell I was HIV positive. I didn't know whether or not to cry. Not everyone in Khayelitsha has a problem with people with HIV. But some people are judgmental, of course, and will not want to speak to you or date you because they don't even understand how people get HIV. I want people to know my status, because hiding it doesn't help. I volunteered to be on the mural because the youth don't have much courage like I do. I'm hoping the mural will help young girls to not feel alone once they've found out about their status and that they build courage from my bravery. When they see that it's a young woman in the mural, they can find hope that they can still live for many years."

The Lincoln Lady Abes could not have played Timberline any closer this season. In a battle for second place in the Narrows 3A, the Abes suffered their second one-point defeat to the Blazers this year, falling 54-53 at home on Jan. 18.
Senior guard Sarah McKee led the way for Timberline, scoring 24 of her game-high 29 points in the second half and nailing six of the Blazers' eight three-pointers on the night.
"She is a player," said Lincoln head coach Cal-Jean Lloyd. "They all have the ability, when left open, to make shots. That's no knock on them. I think it's more a testimony to our lack of rotating as hard as we need to (on defense)."
The Abes went up 11-6 on Precious Hunkin's put-back early in the second quarter, but McKee's first trey of the night gave the Blazers their first lead at 13-11 with six minutes left in the half. Ki-Renee Armstrong – who hit four three-pointers on the night for Lincoln and finished with 15 points – answered with a three for the Abes, but the Blazers' Sara Bowen nailed two threes of her own later in the quarter to help give Timberline a 25-20 halftime lead.
McKee then exploded in the third quarter, hitting four threes in just over two minutes, the last of which gave Timberline a 37-27 lead with five minutes to go in the period. But the Abes crawled right back, as Hunkin got a nice pass from Kayla McClean for a layup with a minute left and Armstrong drained another three to cut it to 40-38 heading into the fourth. Freshman Tamia Braggs then gave the Abes their first lead of the half at 41-40 by battling for a rebound and converting a three-point play, which set the tone for a back-and-forth final quarter.
After Lincoln took a 45-43 lead on Breneya Johnson's layup with under four minutes left, the Blazers rattled off the next seven points, capped by McKee's final three-pointer with two minutes left. Armstrong responded again with another three for the Abes, and her trey with 18 seconds left cut it to 52-51.
"She has that want and desire for us as a program to move forward," Lloyd said. "That's senior leadership right there. We look at her to be one of those leaders, and tonight she kind of helped will us back into this game a little bit."
But McKee hit two free throws on the other end for a three-point lead, and the chance for a tying three for Lincoln rattled out and was put back in on Braggs' layup to leave the Abes one point short.
Hunkin had a team-high 17 points for Lincoln, while Braggs added 11 points and 11 rebounds and Johnson had six points and seven rebounds. At 4-3 in league play, Lincoln is still in good position for one of the four spots to the playoffs.
"I'm proud of the improvements we've made this year, and the toughness we've started to develop as a program," Lloyd said. "We're going to be alright. It's a tough one tonight, but we'll get back at it tomorrow."

Consumer prices up slightly in November
December 18, 2000
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the CPI-U rose 0.2 percent in November, the same as in October. For the 12-month period ended in November, the CPI-U increased 3.4 percent.
The food index, which rose 0.1 percent in October, was unchanged in November. The energy index increased 0.1 percent in November, following a 0.2 percent rise in October. Excluding food and energy, the CPI-U rose 0.3 percent, after a 0.2 percent rise in October. A sharp upturn in the tobacco index was principally responsible for the larger advance in November.
During the first 11 months of 2000, the CPI-U rose at a 3.5 percent seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR). This compares with an increase of 2.7 percent for all of 1999.
These data are a product of the BLS Consumer Price Index program. Find out more in Consumer Price Indexes, November 2000, news release USDL 00-360.

The report was published in the House Journal for the Fourth Called Session of the 41st Legislature.
The Texas Legislature's Legislative Committee to Investigate Fee Officers was created by Senate Concurrent Resolution 20, 41st Legislature, Second Called Session, 1929.
SCR 20 was proposed by Senator Parrish and adopted in the Senate on
June 27. The resolution called for a joint committee, composed of two Senators
and three Representatives, to make an
The committee held hearings in Fort Worth, Dallas, Greenville, Houston, San Antonio, Abilene, El Paso, Austin, Wichita Falls, and Breckenridge, among other places. The testimony gathered was filed with the Secretary of State. The committee presented its final report to the Fourth Called Session of the 41st Legislature on January 30, 1930 and concluded that the current system required substantial changes. As a result of the report's recommendations several pieces of legislation were proposed during the Fourth Called Session of the 41st Legislature, of which House Bill 9 and Senate Bills 10 and 12 were passed.
The record consists of a single nine-page report, [1930], issued by the Texas Legislature's Legislative Committee to Investigate Fee Officers at the conclusion of its investigation of officers of the state who were paid in collected fees. The report was addressed to Texas Governor Dan Moody, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House, and the members of the Texas Legislature. The testimony and evidence collected by the committee was filed with the Texas Secretary of State ca. 1930 but is not a part of this material.
To prepare this inventory, the described materials were cursorily reviewed to delineate series, to confirm the accuracy of contents lists, to provide an estimate of dates covered, and to determine record types.
The report is contained in a single file, in page number order.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 11.0749 Tuesday, 11 April 2000.
Date: Monday, 10 Apr 2000 10:49:06 -0400
Subject: 11.0737 Another Contemporary Use of the Bard
Comment: Re: SHK 11.0737 Another Contemporary Use of the Bard
Yesterday I had the enormous pleasure of attending a staged reading of a
new screenplay, which the producers hope to have in production in
It's called The Bagel King, and it interweaves _Hamlet _ and the lives
of the students in the production. It is definitively NOT a film for
the adolescent audience despite the student focus, however; it's geared
for those who will appreciate the parallels between Jason Stein, the
protagonist, and Hamlet, Prince of Denmark-parallels noted through the
use of the Shakespearean text as well as through action. Prob. PG or
PG-13, based on what I saw/heard yesterday, however. (I do expect
Hollywood to insist on taking at least some of the scenes and nudifying
them, but that's not the current vision.)
While I have at home the complete treatment (one of the producers and
principals in Bagel Fish Productions is one of my close friends), I'd
rather leave the details vague for the moment. I will say that I was
moved both to laughter and to tears, that the adolescent characters are
absolutely accurate (and I teach that age group!), that the middle-aged
adults rang true to my equally middle-aged ears. The author and
director is Daniel Scott Fine, btw.
I believe their website has information on the screenplay:
www.bagelfish.com is the site. They're also eagerly soliciting angels
of various sorts.
I look forward w/ great eagerness to attending the premiere of this
film... and I am NOT a big movie person!

One of the more original movies to come out of the 1970s, director John Schlesinger's manic thriller about a man (Dustin Hoffman) unwittingly caught up in a Nazi plot scored an Academy Award nomination for legendary actor Laurence Olivier. Paramount has also gone the distance with this edition of Marathon Man on DVD. Featuring a 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer, Marathon Man looks surprisingly good for its age. Although images sometimes look flat and dull, overall the colors are bright and the blacks a nice solid dark. A small amount of edge enhancement is spotted in minor scenes, but this should not intrude on the viewer's enjoyment. Audio is presented in a newly remixed Dolby Digital 5.1 track that is less than stellar. Marathon Man is not a high-octane action film, and as such, was not in dire need of an expansive remix. However, the 5.1 track is more than welcome and certainly much clearer than the Dolby 1.0 track also included on this disc (in English and French). Directional effects are present in some scenes. Also included are English subtitles. Although not a full-blown special edition, Marathon Man includes some fairly nice extra features. Two featurettes -- a newly produced "Going the Distance: Remembering Marathon Man," and a 1976 promotional spot titled "The Making of Marathon Man" -- are both funny and insightful. The 1976 featurette is somewhat goofy and fun, while the newly produced segment features interviews with cast and crew reminiscing about the making of Marathon Man. Rehearsal footage is included, but is somewhat unengaging, and there are some cast and crew biographies and a theatrical trailer. While not perfect, Marathon Man does make it to the finish line with a nice edition that should please fans.

A tense thriller with Dustin Hoffman as the everyman plunged into a terrifing situation not of his own making. We identify with Hoffman as he tries to survive and unravel the bewildering mystery involving Nazis, diamonds, double crosses and the most harrowing dental exam ever.

I loved the fact that he was sort of nebbishy in the beginning and was this real domesticated homebody who loved his family. He loved taking care of the baby almost to the point of emasculation, you know what I mean? I just really got into that. It was really fun and you know the scene where he's really excited because he found all this stuff in the old abandoned car lot, it's just really fun playing that. And then of course it's fun to become this savage primal killer. That's just innately fun.

A VINTAGE boutique will open its doors once more in Bolton town centre, thanks to a council grant.
Elite Dress Agency is the first retailer to take up Bolton Council's grant scheme — launched in October last year — which offers businesses grants of up to £20,000 to set up shop in the town centre.
The store, which sells pre-owned designer and vintage clothes and accessories, operated in Bridge Street 15 years ago, and has now signed a three-year lease for the empty unit at number 32.
Company director Christine Lister, who also runs branches in Manchester city centre and Altrincham, said she was excited to open the doors in Bridge Street again on Saturday.
She said: "We had to shut that shop due to rents and rates going up, and the economy hit a bit of a downturn.
"But things are picking up again in Bolton, and when these premises came up and the offer of financial help, we decided that now is the right time to come back."
Money from the grant has been spent on signage, security tagging, fixtures, fitting and rent costs. Ms Lister added: "The support from the council has been amazing and the grant is a huge help.
"It means that we can get everything up and running the way we want."
The unit in Bridge Street has been empty for more than a year, and leader of Bolton Council Cllr Cliff Morris welcomed the fact it will soon be in use again.
He said: "The grant scheme was set up specifically to help businesses like Elite.
"It's an independent successful business with a unique offering, and it's the type of shop that we don't have in the town centre which we want to see opening.
"Economically times are hard but things are getting better slowly and the very fact that Elite has chosen to come back here says something about their confidence in the town centre."
The council is liaising with more businesses about providing them with grants, and the amount given to Elite is commercially sensitive.
- For more information about the scheme, go to bolton.gov.uk/business or call 01204 336222/6131.
- Bolton Council announced in October it had set aside £1.5m to encourage more businesses to open.
- As part of the business support scheme, companies could receive grants of £20,000 or more if they took over empty units.
- Small businesses in Bolton will also benefit from a £1,000 discount in business rates.
- Bolton Council's cabinet rubber-stamped a Government offer to reduce the rates for small companies — including pubs, shops, restaurants and cafes — with a rateable value of £50,000 or less.
- It also backed plans to give a 50 per cent discount to businesses which move into a unit which has been empty for a year or more and make all newly-built commercial properties exempt from empty property rates for 18 months.
- The grants do not apply to takeaways, pound shops or bookmakers.

We just saw Chris Zaldain as he was idling out of the Fisherman's Landing boat ramp area. He's got two fish, enough to keep him right on the cusp of making the Final Four on Sunday.
We asked him where he was going, and he replied, "I don't know yet."
We fell in behind him. He stopped outside the channel, made a few casts, then moved 200 yards north to the coal-fired electric plant. On his first cast, he hooked up with serious rod-bender - a salmon, unfortunately.
"This is the only jerkbait like this I've got," Zaldain said. "I can't break him off."
And he didn't. After a long fight and several near landings, Zaldain finally was able to tail-land what looks like a 10-pound salmon and, most importantly, get his jerkbait back.

Sewickley Heights youth receives Spirit of Faith Award
Basketball always has been part of life for Cora Saftner.
Since she was in third grade, the Our Lady of the Sacred Heart High School sophomore, 15, has played the sport in her Sewickley Heights backyard with her siblings and on the St. James Catholic School team.
And, this was her first year as a member of the Catholic Youth Ministry, or CYM, Diocesan League.
Although the season is over, she continues to be involved with the sport and pass along her knowledge and love of basketball as an assistant coach to St. James' junior-junior varsity boys team's third- and fourth-graders.
For her efforts, Cora was recognized with the Spirit of Faith Award from the Department for Youth and Young Adult Ministry of the Diocese of Pittsburgh. The award was presented at the CYM Championship Mass earlier this month at the Magdalen Chapel at La Roche College in McCandless.
The CYM league consists of teams representing different parishes throughout the diocese. Cora's team represents St. James.
Each year, the award is presented to one high school male and female player who participates in the CYM Diocesan League to recognize students' athletic accomplishments, as well as their ability to demonstrate Catholic values as they play the game.
For Cora, the award recognized her achievements as both a basketball player and coach, in addition to her prior experiences in volleyball, swimming and golf.
Her parents, Heather and Clay Saftner, nominated their daughter for the award, and her CYM coach Diane Sullivan wrote a letter of recommendation.
"Although Cora wasn't a starter this year, her positive attitude, encouragement of teammates and aggressive defensive play all contributed to her earning the award," Heather said.
Cora said playing basketball has helped her to be a team player and not only learn from her own mistakes but help others learn from their mistakes, too. She has been coached by her father and also Lou Bolon.
"My dad taught me we are a team on and off the court, and you protect your teammates and stick with them always," she said.
Heather said she is very proud of her daughter.
"I am so happy to see her efforts acknowledged and appreciated. I think it is a wonderful lesson for all those players who may not be touted as the 'best player' to realize that they can still be a very integral part of any team. Cora always puts her team first and gives 100 percent when called upon to play. She also instills this in the players she coaches," Heather said.
Cora said she wanted to help coach the boys basketball team because her little brother, Brock, was on the team the first year. When he moved up to the next level, she stayed on as an assistant coach because she already knew all the boys, she said. She and friend Hannah Renner of Sewickley Heights, a St. James graduate and sophomore at Quaker Valley High School, assist head coach Tim Goetze.
"Cora is just so many things," said Valerie Tilson, parent of Jack, a fourth-grader who is on her team.
"She's become a mentor and coach that all of our kids look up to and look forward to having her help their team. She's moved on and up from our school, but she certainly still has an amazing presence when she is there coaching and motivating our kids."
Cora said she loves seeing the boys' passion for the game — the same kind of passion she feels.
"I like to see them learn about the sport and grow as players and as people. I hope they carry what I taught them in the upper grades."
She said the boys have helped her remember how simple the game can be and why she loves basketball so much.
"It doesn't have to be all stats and numbers. It can just be played for fun and the love of the sport. It doesn't matter how old or big you are, you can still the love sport," she said.
Cora also is on the swim team at Allegheny Country Club in the summer, and in her spare time, she likes to play basketball in her yard with Brock, 10, and her four other siblings: Emma, 14; Luke, 12; James, 8; and Cale, 4.
She said she doesn't know yet what her career path will be — maybe a professional musician, journalist or marine biologist — but she does know she wants to continue with basketball, perhaps club basketball in college.
And, maybe, someday after college, she hopes to come back to St. James to coach again.

Members of Dawn Agnew's Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) showed their charitable side over Thanksgiving weekend by volunteering their time to a local charity.
What is unique about SADD, Agnew said, is that she lets the students pick and organize their own charitable actions. The president and vice president of the club chose St. Vincent de Paul this year.
The 12 Mountain Pointe students donated canned goods and spent three hours decorating the center, which feeds thousands of people every year. How much or how little the club volunteers its time varies from year to year, but this year has stood out as one of the most active, according to Agnew.
"The club is about promoting a positive community interaction," she said. "I really encourage them to give themselves because we are so fortunate ourselves."
In addition to their time on Thanksgiving, SADD will be adopting a family for Christmas this year.
It was not the first or the last volunteering done by the youth of Ahwatukee Foothills this year, and it's inspiring to see high school students participate in all aspects of charitable work - the picking of a charity, the planning, the set up and break down, and so on.
Looking back on my own high school years, I wish I would have done more. The experience of working with others toward a common goal, that isn't sports-related, is one that I think sticks with you for awhile.
When I talk to students at events like "Smiles for Christmas" (see the story in this issue), their excitement about helping is palpable. That event is a little different than volunteering at St. Vincent de Paul in that all kids remember how special it was to get toys on Christmas, so maybe that connection is more easily bridged.
Connecting directly with homeless people and families is also an eye-opening experience. Maybe it's a little different because adults, especially those who have gone through rough times, smile less than a kid with a new toy. But the high school students in this community are determined. They aren't easily defeated.
"This is a student led organization in that we let them do what they want to do," Agnew said. "I put it to the club: 'Holidays are coming up, are we going to do anything for the community?' And the answer is almost always a 'yes.'"
I think without question the epitome of charitable contributions by Desert Vista and Mountain Pointe students is Relay for Life, a combined effort between the schools that brought in $145,000 in 2011. The American Cancer Society recognized the Ahwatukee Foothills' Relay for Life for being the second largest youth-based high school Relay for Life in the country. The numbers speak for themselves.
Coming up are big events like Winter Wonderland, put on by the Kyrene School District to benefit its low-income families. Desert Vista musicians will be there to play for the annual event, which puts hundreds of toys under trees all around the East Valley.
It is apparent the students here "get it" when it comes to giving back.

My friend Mark Silk takes on some of his commenters at his blog over his suggestion that Christianity needs to learn to adapt. The money quote: "It's a nice question whether Christian leaders should have run the risk of undermining the progress of the Gospel by vigorously opposing slavery when slavery was an intrinsic part of the social order."

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Hello and thank you for writting in.
Can you tell me if her bowel movements are normal during the day.?
Does she get in position to go or does it just fall out?
When she goes in her sleep is it normal and formed or is the stool loose?
Ok, Thank you for the information.
I just have a few more questions?
Did your vet do x-rays?
Do you know if a recat exam was done?
I can understand your frustration. Bowel incontinence will most often have some symptoms during the day as well as at night. So the fact that she is only having this problem when she sleeps would lead me to belive the problem may be neurological.
I would recommend having a complete neurological exam done as well as x rays, there may be a reason she is not fully eliminating during the days and the feces that is left in the rectum is being released when she relaxes all her muscles in the rectum during sleep.X-rays may be able to tell if there is any disc or spinal compression or lesions.
If there is a veterinary neurologist in your area you may want to have a consultation as this is their area of expertize. I think this would be the best option. Your girl is much younger then most dogs that present with this problem, so I would continue to seek the cause.
I do not believe that her diet would be the cause of this as you would see symptoms all the time and not just while sleeping.
Please keep me updated on her progress.
Her stools are always like pellets
Ok, This changes things somewhat, This was the reason I asked about the stools earlier on.
If the stools are always like pellets then this is not normal and could be a sign of constipation. It may be that she is just not expelling all of the hard stool in her rectum and the remaining is just falling out when she relaxes these muscles.
In this case a change in food to one that is higher in fiber may be beneficial. Change the food slowly to avoid stomach upset. You can also try adding a small amount of real pumpkin to her daily diet. Real pumpkin only not pie filling.You can also sprinkle a small about of metamucil on her food to add fiber and soften her stool.

Investors have high expectations when it comes to gold, a commodity that billionaire hedge-fund manager
Gold's safe haven status is well and truly under question this morning as the price of the precious metal fell a further 9 per cent to a two-year low overnight. While many believe the sharp losses of recent weeks have been an over-reaction, the panic is showing no signs of subsiding.
This is potentially disastrous for Australia's less financially robust gold miners. The weakness in the gold price will further divide the "haves" – those miners with strong balance sheets and lower cost of production from the "have-nots".
Analysts are now cutting cashflow forecasts for gold miners, which threatens the next phase of gold production growth in Australia. Citi analysts say sector free cash-flow forecasts in 2014 have fallen by US$900 million, or 25 per cent in six months.
While the price of gold is still high by historic standards, the problem for Australian miners is that the high Australian dollar and soaring labour costs means it has never been so expensive to operate a mine.
Analysts believe some single-mine operations cannot be profitable if gold prices were to further fall, although it does not seem likely any existing projects are under threat.
Shares in
An end of lower interest rates and a shift in central bank policies could mean the safe-haven days are over, at least for the short-term.
The prospects for consolidation, even with falling share prices, remains unlikely even though no-one has been able to fill a void in the mid-ter gold sector following Newcrest's $10 billion takeover of Lihir.

TV Tonight: "Friday Night Lights"
TV Tonight: "Friday Night Lights"
In its first season, "Friday Night Lights" was an absolute gem. It was a show I looked forward to each week, and virtually every episode had a moment so moving and real that I ended up in a teary puddle on my couch. It's funny, touching, and real — and it's about so much more than just football.
The show returns for its second season tonight, and I'm a little nervous about it — partly because it's now on Fridays (when even a die-hard fan like me might not tune in), partly because of what I hear is a major and uncharacteristically melodramatic plot twist involving Tyra and Landry. I elected not to watch the episode when it was online early a couple of weeks ago, and the suspense has become almost unbearable. While no review I've read has revealed what the twist is (though I think one of NBC's own promos might — jerks!), nobody seems to think it's a positive turn for the show to take.
I hope it's not something big or bad enough to ruin "Friday Night Lights," which was practically perfect despite its low ratings. Frankly, I can't even imagine what could wreck the show; it just has so much going for it. My episode rundowns will be published on Buzz on Mondays, so whatever it turns out to be, we'll talk more about it then. For now, to watch a promo for tonight's episode (not the super spoiler-y one I referred to above), just

Big East commish: Seventh playoff bowl alive and well
The commissioners' discussions last month about adding a seventh playoff bowl has real legs and the concept is not fading, Big East Commissioner Mike Aresco told CBS Sports. ESPN reported Wednesday the seventh game -- designed to give the five smaller conferences access to the new playoff format starting in 2014 -- was becoming unlikely, in part because of the bowl's lesser worth compared to other access sites.
The commissioners' discussion last month about adding a seventh playoff bowl has legs and the concept is not fading, Big East Commissioner Mike Aresco told CBS Sports.
ESPN reported Wednesday the seventh game -- designed to give the five smaller conferences access to the new playoff format starting in 2014 -- was becoming unlikely, in part because of the bowl's lesser worth compared to other access sites.
The bowl would match a champion from the Big East, Mountain West, Conference USA, Mid-American and Sun Belt Conferences against a Big 12 or Pac-12 team.
"The commissioners have all voiced support for this," Aresco said. "I don't know where the talk of it not happening came from, but we're pretty confident it can get done. We think it has real value."
The exact value is still uncertain, as reports have pegged the game in the $20-25 million range, much lower than the Rose Bowl ($80 million) or equivalents but still good money for the five conferences trying to get into the playoff mix.
Six bowl games are expected to enter the playoff system. The Rose, Orange and Champions Bowl will be rotating sites for national semifinals. The Fiesta, Sugar and Cotton Bowls (the last two are vying to host the Champions) are in the discussion.
Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said today on CBS' The Tim Brando Show that a decision on the sevnenth bowl is 6-9 months down the road.
"Whether there are going to be six of seven (bowls), that's an open question ... Any speculation on a seventh bowl is premature," Scott said.
The Big East would be a key cog in the seventh bowl, but could also have access to one of the other six spots depending on where its teams rank.
Aresco was not willing to place a figure on the game and acknowledged there are too many moving parts to cement its future. Getting a feasible TV deal and selling tickets are two of them.
"(The commissioners) were convinced there should be more access," Aresco said.
The Big East is immersed in media rights talks with ESPN, whose 60-day exclusive negotiating window with the conference expires at the end of the month. Aresco said his research has led him to believe the Big East has "enormous value" and has several interested networks outside of ESPN. The NBC Sports Network is assumed to be one.
As for conference realignment, Aresco believes the Big East will be comfortable with up to 14 teams but doesn't envision 16-team expansion. Navy joins in 2015 as the 13th team, and the Big East would like to add one more, possibly Air Force.
"Our group doesn't want to have a nine-game schedule," Aresco said.

The leading man is caught in a bit of flu and calls for a sick leave during a filming in London this week.
Filming on the "Sherlock Holmes" sequel was halted earlier this week after Robert Downey Jr. fell ill, according to a new report. The actor is currently filming the follow-up to Guy Ritchie's 2009 film in London, but he pulled out of the shoot on Tuesday, October 5 after complaining he felt unwell, reports Britain's The Sun.
A source tells the newspaper, "Everyone was fired up and ready to go. Word filtered around that Robert had a bit of a sniffle and wouldn't be coming in. It was a bit of a shock."
"Sherlock Holmes 2" is due to be released in theaters on December 16 next year. Noomi Rapace, Stephen Fry and Jared Harris have joined Downey Jr. and Jude Law as the new cast.

« Semi OT, Should I get a Film Body? »

Re: Semi OT, Should I get a Film Body?
For me film accomplishes so much. I\'m a more thoughtful, purposeful photographer. I take better photographs. I nail my compositions much more precisely. I anticipate and I have much more intuitive timing. I\'m so much more aware and alert. I love the aesthetic so much more than the \"perfect\" (read: sterile) feel of my digital work.
Personally speaking I much prefer the more manual cameras, specifically medium format cameras. The aspect ratios are different than my dSLR, the feel is different, the operation is different, little to nothing is automated and I honestly feel like I\'m actively involved in the image-making process compared to just pushing a button or series of buttons when I shoot a dSLR. For me the 35mm SLRs like the EOS 3, 1V, F100, etc all feel too much like my dSLRs. The aspect ratio is the same, the feel is the same, the operation is largely the same and the only major difference is worse AF and no way to preview the images. Shooting more manual cameras that feel different and operate more slowly force me to be more involved in the process.
I guess I could compare it to driving a Cadillac sedan (dSLR, with all the bells and whistles) to a stripped down sports car like a Porsche 911 GT3 (medium format cameras like my Contax 645, Rolleiflex 2.8 or Pentax 67II or a 35mm rangefinder like my Leica M6 TTL). Both will get you to the same place (a destination or a final photograph) but it\'s HOW they get you there and the experience you have in the process that matters to some people. I personally love the experience of driving a true sports car (to me that\'s real driving) or operating a really nice film camera (to me that\'s real image making) compared to a plush couch-on-wheels sedan or dSLR with all the bells and whistles.
That\'s not to say an EOS 3 or 1V wouldn\'t be a great camera for you. EOS 3s are plagued with focus accuracy issues but the 1N and 1V are both great choices and you can make stellar images with them while utilizing your existing glass. But IMO you\'re missing out on half the experience of shooting film by going this route. You can pick up a Canon AE-1 and 50/1.8 for $50ish and make great images too but gain more in the experience department.

Let's design the perfect controller by combining parts from ones that already exist
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5
A mouse and keyboard with an analog stick attached in a comfortable position. It's more difficult than I would like to play fixed camera third person games with WASD.
Even with physical feedback, motion control isn't really usable for hardcore gaming.
I don't mean the motion controls part, I mean the "Not having to hold your hands together" part.
Xbox 360 Shape
I seriously hate the shape of all other current controllers.
I'd have to say yes. Never had a 360 controller with a D-Pad I didn't like or couldn't use, I prefer it in every way to the PS2 controller.
I actually can't think of a way to improve on it. Even the PS2 controller I own is styled with a 360 style D-Pad.
Note: Apparently Captcha wants me to start answering little puzzles now. Newsflash, I don't live in America and I care about fucking Ron Howard or where he can stuff his pictures!
360 controller with a PS3 d-pad. I honestly can't think of a better controller.
The 360's face buttons are the best I've ever used, the analog sticks are the most comfortable and most responsive, and the triggers provide by far the best control/responsiveness. The d-pad is too easy to press the wrong button on though, because it's really just on big button.
The PS3 has probably my least favorite controller, just because of the terrible, terrible triggers. Otherwise it's not bad (the PS2 had a great controller) but the triggers are just so... bad that it ruins the whole thing.

Yes, drugs are a very enticing apparent shortcut; instead of doing the inner work, which will produce the DMT naturally, an external substance is used. The trouble is that while this was valid for the primitive tribes long ago in another epoch, it isn't suitable for man at his present stage of evolution.
It does give some experiences, but the user loses the ability to tell the true parts of it from the distortions. Witness Stuart Wilde. It retards your spiritual progress, and in your next incarnation, you have to go back and start again at the point before you took the drugs. It's a false copy of enlightenment.
Anonymous Coward 1324229
IMO you're view is just dogmatic and very inaccurate with regards to the reality of the situation. First of all, all experience is mediated by drugs. We're all on them all the time. They are also in all of our food, and that plays a part in shaping our consciousness as well.
The idea that they are unnatural is ridiculous. They are MEDICINAL plants that have been verified by scientific research (not to mention thousands of years of shamanic exploration/medicinal use) to
have very thearapeutic uses for human beings. It depends on the individual and the context in which its taken.
This is not debatable anymore. There has been enough studies done that show things like ayahuasca is both physically and psychologically good for you. And that it even causes an upregulation of serotonin receptors (aka, brain growth).
No one is saying they are the key to enlightenment. This is a common misconception. They are plant allies, tools, catalysts whose beneficial potentials are left up to the individual.
And these "primitive tribes long ago" that you're talking about still exist today all over the world. Theres a reason almost all cultures have a shamanic tradition that utilizes a variety of techniques to alter consciousness- often psychedelic plants- and medicinal herbs in general.
The idea that society should just not use these unbelievably powerful, medicinal, and useful plant allies is ridiculous. Society is not going to meditate themselves into a higher state of consciousness. These plants have the potential to help us help ourselves. They help awaken people to their own actions and negativity. They catalyze an immense process of inner work and remove the veils that our conditioned minds impose between our awareness and the reality of our actions and the world. Most importantly, they can help open our hearts and convert all of this hate and anger and despair into compassion, love, and hope.
I'm not saying don't meditate and explore other spiritual technologies. I'm saying cast you're net widely, explore many things. You will get much further that way as opposed to just dogmatically sticking with this or that etc
Humble yourself to the point where you can admit that a plant can help you and then maybe we can have a more interesting conversation. A symbiotic relationship with plants existed for millions of years, why stop now.

Target: Haitian Government, donors and non-governmental groups
Goal: To Provide more security, facilities and better health care for struggling women and children in Haiti.
More than a year and a half after Haiti's January 2, 2010 earthquake, the country faces an epidemic of sexual violence and preventable deaths of women and children.
The devastating earthquake in Haiti has led to an utter lack of available healthcare services for women and children. Although donors pledged $5.3 billion to recovery aid after the earthquake, with $258 million of it dedicated to healthcare, maternal and infant deaths remain in excess due to lack of reproductive care. More than 300,000 women and girls live in internally displaced persons camps (IDP), and it is not uncommon for women to give birth to their infants on the filthy floors of these tents. Before the quake, Haiti had the highest maternal mortality rate in the Western Hemisphere and it is only rising.
Sexual violence and rape is running rampant in Haiti. The collapse of social infrastructures, decrease in sense of community safety and lack of law and order have put women and girls at an intense risk of rape and sexual abuse. Women are being forced into trading sex for food, shelter, and ultimately for survival. Contraceptives are a rarity, especially in IDPs. This greatly adds to the problems of unwanted pregnancy and the spreading of STDs. Furthering this vicious cycle, post-rape care is nearly nonexistent.
Women and children in Haiti have already endured one devastating catastrophe. Of all people, they should not be ones to bear the hardship of another source of overwhelming grief.
Dear Ministry of Social Affairs of the Haitian Government,
Upon the devastation of the January 2, 2010 earthquake, the women and children of Haiti have been hit with another catastrophe – an epidemic of sexual violence and preventable deaths.
Prior to the earthquake Haiti had the highest maternal mortality rate in the Western Hemisphere, and current living conditions have caused these numbers to jump at an alarming rate. Inadequate health care has forced women to give birth in less than sanitary conditions and without proper prenatal and reproductive care.
In addition to health woes, sexual abuse is a rising problem in internally displaced persons camps. This is partially due to lack of basic necessities, so women are forced to trade sex for food and shelter. The sexual corruption is leading to more unwanted pregnancies and STDs.
The women and children of Haiti deserve to be treated with decency rather than victimization. I am asking the government of Haiti to step in to aid this suffering population – to expand health care and ensure safety with the enforcement of laws of humanity.
[Your Name Goes Here]

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Yes, unscrewed it and water came out (just a little) and trap seemed clean. I was wondering if I should take the drain line off the bottom of the tub to see there might be a clog. I forgot to mention that the other day after getting it to go into test mode; I cleared the E60 and while the door was locked from Test Mode I did the load of laundry that was in there and it cycled fine.
thank sfor following up. Actaully I replaced the control board and still have the same issue. All it does is go into drain mode. It will go to test with pressing all the required buttons and I still get and E60 or E61 code. I am about ready to call a repair tech.
The drain hose has not been moved from its original position since installed 4 years ago. When I run it through test mode it will fill and then drain as it should ( I think). I was wondering about the pressure switch (if that may have something to do with it. I pulled the vacuum tube off it and blew through it and its good.
I will give that a shot when I get home thank you!

How strange it is to describe someone in the context of the controversial things they have said, as though all of their lives were spent babbling nonsense or offensive gibberish or inflammatory flapdoodle. It may well be the one characteristic that links the disgraced radio icon Don Imus to the late media preacher who was behind the Moral Majority, Rev. Jerry Falwell.
For each man, the use of words accepted in one place caused trouble in another.
It is not our place to cast judgment on Falwell or his life beyond the role he played in politics, which made him fair game along with anyone else who leaps into the arena of public debate. No one can really know a man's relationship with God, because one part of that equation is unknowable and the other is very difficult to pin down with any certainty.

OnMilwaukee.com recommends, Jan. 7, 2012
Need a good read, a cool in-theater drink or a "NuFace?" OnMilwaukee.com Recommends is here to help. Read on to get the scoop on these problem-solving products.
NuFace – Since forgoing the Botox needle, I've been looking for non-invasive options to treat my furrows and crow's feet. Enter my new hero: NuFace. NuFace, the "first and only FDA-approved home use microcurrent facial toning device," was originally developed to help Bell's Palsy sufferers rehabilitate their facial muscles. Using the space-age looking round metal probes for just five minutes a day is purported to help lift, firm and tighten skin, as well as lift the brows and contour the cheekbones and jawline. So, does it work? I was willing to try it out! NuFace sent me their "classic" device to try out. For three weeks, I committed to a nightly regimen of cleansing my face and then using the NuFace as directed. A conductivity gel must be applied before gliding the NuFace over the skin in a specific pattern and technique easily learned through the company's website and included DVD. NuFace also suggests using a water-based serum (I used a Vitamin C serum) under the gel to enhance the treatment as the microcurrent penetrates product deeper into the skin. I noticed an immediate firming and tightening after the first use (which becomes addicting!) and each consecutive use that made me look forward to cranking my NuFace to the highest setting. Weekly self-portrait photos showed a slight, but noticeable improvement in the area of most concern for me – my forehead and brows. The lure for me is the instant effects of the NuFace – great for using before special events! Curious for a NuFace lift for yourself? NuFace is available as an "add-on" treatment to facials and for purchase for home use at Woodhouse Day Spa in Mukwonago. – Lindsay Garric
"I Used to Think ... And Now I Think" (Harvard Education Press) – Sometimes the best things come in small packages. Like this slim paperback edited by Richard F. Elmore, who got the idea from an exercise he uses at the end of his classes and seminars, that asks 20 education folks – including Deborah Meier, Howard Gardner, Sonia Nieto and Frederick Hess – to, in the words of the subtitle, "Reflect on the Work of School Reform." The result are 20 quick – but often deep – insights into how folks' beliefs and realities can change (or not) over time. Most of the authors used the space to reflect on the arcs and achievements of their own careers and how they relate to the broader work of school reform. Some, like Brad Jupp's "Rethinking Unions' Roles in Education Reform," for example, offer a path forward in a changing landscape. A simple idea that has sparked one of the best education books of the year. – Bobby Tanzilo
To-go cups at The Rep – I had not been to The Milwaukee Repertory Theater in a while, but last night I saw "Next To Normal" and it was standing ovation material from the very first line. As an added bonus, I was delighted to see you can now bring beverages into the Quadracci Powerhouse to enjoy during the show if you purchase a $2 reusable cup that looks kind of like a sippy cup for adults. After all, everyone knows live stage performance viewing is incredibly thirsty work. – Molly Snyder
LegallyBlonde | Jan. 7, 2012 at 1:10 p.m. (report)
Molly, the to-go cups at the rep are classic. I laughed the first time I was served wine in one, but then it became essential halfway through the show. Sometimes we simply need to be treated like a kid. Still have it in the ol' cupboard. Thanks for the reminder, maybe i'll take it for a walk this week. :)

PHOTO GALLERY: Ian Somerhalder is an 'August Man'
Well hello there, Ian Somerhalder! Aren't you looking delightful!
The Vampire Diaries star pretties up the November issue of August Man magazine—which, lest we forget, is Singapore's premiere men's lifestyle publication—and dishes a bit about his career and life in the famous-and-pretty lane.
Unlike certain other vampire-associated heartthrobs, Somerhalder says he has no trouble keeping his private life out of the spotlight. Says Ian,
"It's all very simple, actually. I've been left alone for the most part really. It doesn't seem that what I do off the set is of importance to anyone!"
Some, no doubt, would beg to differ.
