Honey Springs Battlefield
The battle at Honey Springs Battlefield was the largest Civil War Battle in Oklahoma. It is located on the Texas Road and is about three thousand acres, or three thousand football fields. The springs were a stopping point for people traveling through Indian Territory to Texas as well as a supply depot for the Confederates. At this site the Union forces stopped the Confederates from intercepting a supply train on its way to Fort Gibson. The battle was one of the first mass Confederate battles against the Union in Indian Territory and enabled the Union to attack other forts. This battle is also one of the first in which African Americans were praised for their contribution.
Archaeologists have not excavated at this site, but they have surveyed the site and looked for evidence of artifacts and features. Limited excavations of the site have occurred to collect and examine artifacts and features located here.

The House voted today in favor of both H.522, which outlines a number of initiatives to stem opioid and methamphetamine abuse, and H. 65, which seeks to encourage people to report drug overdoses by granting them immunity from certain drug-related crimes.
At a press conference held Friday to mark the event, Speaker of the House Shap Smith was joined by lawmakers, Shumlin administration officials, drug abuse counselors and a state's attorney who each highlighted the potential of various elements of the bills.
H.522 sets minimum standards for when doctors must consult the Vermont Prescription Monitoring System and sets up a monitoring system for meth precursors drugs that can be purchased at pharmacies. It also establishes a pilot program for wider distribution of a drug that reverses opioid overdoses and tasks the commissioner of the Department of Health with developing a statewide program to dispose of unused prescription medicine. H.522 also increases the regulation of precious metal dealers and makes it easier to crack down on drug activity that takes place on abandoned property.
Three committees — Human Services, Judiciary, and General Housing and Military Affairs — spearheaded the effort, which began early in the legislative session.
Both H. 522 and H.65 coalesced rapidly during the weeks leading up to the crossover deadline.
"I think we've made a big step forward," Rep. William Lippert, D-Hinesburg, chair of the Judiciary Committee, said, adding that the issue must "remain on the front burner."
After noting that 50 Vermonters died last year from an opioid overdose, Harry Chen, the commissioner of the Department of Health, said: "This bill is for them because some of them could have been saved if someone had dialed 911 or they had had Nalaxone."
Keith Flynn, the commissioner of the Department of Public Safety, who has pushed hard in the past for expanding law enforcement access to the Vermont Prescription Monitoring System — a provision not included in H. 522 — said he was willing to temporarily put that objective on hold in the interesting of seeing an important piece of legislation pass.
"Very frankly, this is so important to get passed through, and we believe it was so necessary to have this year that I looked to some of the things that are in this bill that are going benefit law enforcement and particularly it's going to be the strengthening of the quality of the information in the VPMS," Flynn said.
He added: "In a year from now, we'll be back."

Therefore, the problem -- whatever it was -- is solved by this newer FreeBSD release -- which Kris Moore's dedication and past history shows is likely to filter its way into PCBSD very quickly. :) But just to provide feedback on some of the suggestions made: (1) The system BIOS was the latest one for the xw8200. (2) The LSI SCSI has a combo bios/firmware update. I have not applied it yet, but that will be one of my weekend projects. That having been said, I do not think it was a SCSI controller issue, as I had tried booting after disconnecting the power plugs and drive cables to both SCSI drives and to the IDE which did not make any difference in the boot-freeze problem. (3) The DVD firmware is current. (4) Because the FreeBSD Beta2 CD provided success, I have not tried a USB boot yet. Thank you to Arthur Koziol, A. Yerenko ("A.Y."), Brody Dover, and Kris Moore for all your help, analysis, and suggestions. Additional eternal gratitude to the "large team of individuals" who work on FreeBSD and to "the Founder" Kris Moore for his labors and his releases. Ian Robinson Salem, Ohio.

MP 50.2 1st Subdivision -
Between Lowell and Shelby there once was a station, called Grassmere. At one time a car body depot sat on the west side of the tracks, at the 50.2 mile mark. The stop disappeared of the railroad timetable between 1906 and 1908. In 1919-1920 at Grassmere, an oil well was drilled on the Patchett farm. Many dollars were invested in this well and much work was done, but it, was not a paying venture. The well was plugged to keep the gases from escaping, and according to locals, the big pipe can still be seen. There was also another well drilled nearby in 1921, but it also was unsuccessful. On my visit, I did not attempt to locate this old pipe.
Bridge over Brown Ditch. Looking east from Monon Road and 221st Street. The former Grassmere depot would be just north of the bridge between the road and the tracks. No foundation remains.

Shelby was organized and platted in 1886. It was named for William R. Shelby, President of the Lake Agricultural Company. A combination depot once sat in the north east quadrant of the junction, shared by both roads. The depot was closed in 1964. The seed company still occupies the same north east quadrant. The junction was automated in 1961. Whiteco Outdoor Advertising began in 1935 under Dean White in Shelby, Indiana serving Holiday Inn with directional signs. The building remains to this date, owned by another graphics company.
Left: Downtown Shelby, early 1900's. This image is titled as Main Street. Right: Shelby Post Office, circa 1910.
Postcard of the Hotel Doty, Shelby, Indiana. Exact date unknown. This building at one time was also known as the Dickey Sanitarium. Founded by James Dickey in the late 1890's, the sanitarium's motto was, "Save the Drunkard and Rob the Devil." The Sanitarium also advertised first-class accommodations for only $5.00 per week, hot and cold baths in connection, also first-class barber service, as well as a supply of musical instruments and many rare literary works for the enjoyment of the patients.
View of Shelby, 1908. The photographer was more than likely on top of the elevator. The building closest is the Shelby Post Office. You are looking to the north.
Shelby's $10,000.00 school. The year is 1914. The school served the community until the 1970's.
The Kankakee River flood of 1908. In this image you are looking due south. It was taken from either the roof of Sirois Hotel or elevator. The railroad tracks pictured are those of the Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, or 3-I the east-west line that crossed the Monon. Although blurry, up towards the right corner of the picture it looks like a steam engine and train are northbound on the Monon.
More images from the 1908 flood. Left: This picture is looking southwest. Pictured is the water tank on the Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville Railroad (Monon) that was south of the crossing with the Illinois, Indiana and Iowa, or 3-I. The flood waters were all the way up to the 3-I right of way. Right: The photographer was standing on Shelby Road looking north towards town. In the distance there is a boxcar on the 3-I tracks. The larger building on the right side of the image, I believe was one of the hotels Shelby once boasted.
Left: Local residents boating on the flood waters. Main Street is the street on the east side of town. Note the railroad crossing sign in the upper left corner of the photo. This location is south of the 3-I tracks. Right: Shot of the same area but showing the crossing and some of the houses.
Left: Another look at what I suspect is one of the Shelby hotels. Just the size of the building suggests this was once a hotel. Right: Flood waters surround the family home.
Left: 1908 flood. You are looking east along the NYC Kankakee Belt. When this photo was taken the railroad was known as the Illinois, Indiana and Iowa railroad, or 3-I. The fairly new combination depot is pictured to the left. The depot was built in 1905. The tracks of the Monon run left to right in this photo. Note lunchroom across from the depot.

Old White Sign Company building, circa 2003. Quite a change from the picture above. Whiteco out grew Shelby.
"In August of 1902, reports of the possibility of oil in the Kankakee River Valley at Water Valley (Shelby), focused attention on the small community. The project had been rushed through, with a force of experts working both day and night. Saturday, August 5, 1902, W.A. Saxton, from the Empire and American Glycerine Co. of Bluffton, Indiana, arrived with two hundred and fifty quarts of nitro glycerine for the purpose of shooting the well at a depth of one thousand feet below the surface.
Left: Oil well somewhere in the Kankakee River area. Exact location and date unknown. Right: This well location is easy to identify. This well would be along the Kankakee River and Monon Railroad tracks, pictured. It was on the northwest bank of the river where Shady Shores is today. The area, north and south of the river is better known as Water Valley.
The concussion was felt for twenty miles in all directions, and those who were fortunate enough to be within viewing distance saw a sight they have remembered all their lives. One eyewitness wrote: "The rock, oil, water, and other matter was forced upward through the casing of the well to a height of several hundred feet, and, falling like a fountain, was an unusual sight!" The oil was plainly visible floating down the Kankakee River. Many wells were drilled in the Kankakee Valley, but none were big enough producers." -Pioneer History, Oil In The Kankakee Valley-, Richard Schmal, June 27, 1984, Lowell Tribune, Lowell Tribune, July 28, 1982, Lowell Tribune.-

Having Children's Hospital in Fox Valley helps family balance life
February 1 is the 10th anniversary of Children's Hospital of Wisconsin-Fox Valley. I would like to share our experience and let others know what a tremendous impact having the hospital close to our home has meant to us.
My son, Griffin, was born in 2003 with a rare brain abnormality called Lissencephaly (Miller-Dieker syndrome). We knew of his condition while I was pregnant, and though somewhat prepared, had no idea what was to come after his birth. We had been told he may not survive birth and at best live to be 2 years old. Less than one day after we brought him home, we were sent to Children's Hospital-Fox Valley due to jaundice and feeding difficulties, which led to breathing issues. Having two other small children at home made being away difficult, but it was very manageable with the hospital only two miles from our house.
The staff made us feel so welcome and confident in the ability to care for a special needs newborn. It was decided rather quickly that Griffin would need to have a permanent feeding tube placed. Dr. Georgen, a surgeon from Theda Clark Medical Center, gave Griffin what he truly needed to survive at this point. The procedure seemed somewhat bizarre to us at the time, but a nurse had a son with a feeding tube, and she was very helpful in explaining what this would mean for us on a daily basis. Little did we know that the staff at Children's Hospital-Fox Valley would become such a big part of our lives.
Griffin suffered from numerous respiratory infections and pneumonias and was hospitalized over and over again. He also started having seizures when he was 6 or 7 months old. At one point, we needed to begin injecting him with steroid called ACTH. Children's Hospital-Fox Valley had never done this treatment before. I asked if they would be willing to have the treatment started in the Fox Valley with the guidance of the Milwaukee neurologist, and they agreed. They taught me how to give the injections and I was able to take Griffin home within a few days. In addition to providing wonderful care to my son, so many of the nurses have truly become friends.
Thankfully, Griffin has been fairly healthy the past couple of years and he hasn't been admitted to Children's Hospital-Fox Valley lately. A few times we have been in the emergency room for respiratory issues, where he has been seen by a hospitalist from Children's Hospital-Fox Valley. Because we have built a relationship with these doctors through the years, we usually have been able to go home under their guidance with the understanding we will come back if the situation gets worse and I don't feel comfortable with his care at home.
I am proud to have this great facility in our community. It is never easy when you have a sick child and need to leave the routine of your life. With Children's Hospital-Fox Valley just minutes from my home, I have been able to balance the needs of my son and still keep some normalcy for my other children.
~ Connie M. Niemuth, mother of Children's Hospital-Fox Valley patient, guest blogger

You Asked: Wrist Pain When Lifting Weights?
You're asking and I'm answering.
"Hey Fit. I am not usually a weight lifter but I've recently started doing a few things. The only problem is that it really hurts my wrists when I am doing them. Am I doing something wrong?"
- Weighted Wrist Pain Wendy
Great question, and you may be surprised to hear that this is actually a common problem, especially for women. Do me a favor and take a look at your wrists. Pretty small, eh? These little suckers do a lot for you and so you need to be extra careful of them. I've got a few tips that should help ease your pain so
You probably just need to fix your form. Pay special attention not to roll your wrist backward or forward when you're holding weights. The wrist should be aligned with the forearm. Hold the handle tight in your palm, and not up towards your fingers. If you are not able to do either of these, decrease the weight. Once you are stronger, you can up the weight. Also, don't neglect your forearms. Most women never train their forearms but they are important for wrist strength and exercising them will help reduce wrist strain — my favorite exercise for the forearms is the wrist curl. If you still are experiencing pain then you may want to see your doctor because it could signify something more serious like carpal tunnel or a sprain.

Ternary Computing Might Make its Big Debut with Quantum Computing
Kristopher Kubicki
April 6, 2008 4:12 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
D-Wave's 16 qubit quantum computer is the pride of current quantum computers
(Source: D-Wave)
A team from Australia suggests that not only will ternary data be helpful in the budding field of quantum computing, but practically necessary
Generations of computer scientists grew up under the notion that ternary computing was just around the corner. Modern computers store information in a binary system, a logical representation of true and false. Ternary computing, on the other hand, stores information as a representation of false, null and true; 0, 1, 2 or -1, 0 and 1.
Computer storage methods going back to punch cards made binary computing methods sensible. When storage moved to magnetic and transistor-based alternatives, the binary system continued to flourish -- and any reason to switch to a ternary system was nonessential with prolific and scalable storage.
But with the advent of quantum computing, ternary computing has a new cause. Universal quantum logic gates, the building blocks of infant quantum computing, require hundreds of gates in order to complete any useful work.
D-Wave's quantum computer
, announced last year, consists of only 16 qubits -- just enough for a controlled NOT gate.
It's an inevitability that quantum computers will continue to scale, even based on current technologies. In the
meantime a team lead by University of Queensland's B. P. Lanyon
proposed a new method to scale quantum computers faster by exploiting the well researched fields of ternary computing.
The modern representation of true or false can be expressed as a bit. The quantum computing equivalent of a bit is dubbed a qubit. Traditional computers that store data in ternary operations are dubbed trits; the quantum equivalent is called a qutrit.
What makes Lanyon's method truly innovative is that by using qutrits for universal quantum gates instead of qubits, researchers can reduce the number gates needed in a computer significantly.
Lanyon proposes that a computer that would traditionally take 50 conventional quantum gates could use as few as 9 gates using the ternary method.

And then there are those days when you go looking for your missing father and end up unleashing the forces of hell after you run across the Demons' Score, a program that just so happens to allow demons to possess you. Serenity is having one of those kinds of days. (Insert joke about it probably being a Monday here.) For $6.99, you can help her by downloading the Unreal Engine 3-powered App and seeing the demons off the only way you know how: through rhythm-based combat.
Demons' Score reveals its weird rocking ways with new video
Square Enix has released a nearly nine-minute video for their upcoming rhythm-based action title for Android and iOS devices, Demons' Score. The footage offers gamers a chance to get a peek at the possessed heroine Serenity and her mighty tapping powers (and strange familiar) in the game's opening cinematic and tutorial.
E3 2012 – Square Enix: Demons' Score announced for Android, iOS
Square Enix will be launching a new rhythm-based action game this summer for Android and iOS devices, Demons' Score. As the possessed heroine Serenity, players must battle all matter of hellish demons (with a touch of flair) to aid her in tracking down her missing father.

First it was Predator in fighting game Mortal Kombat X. Now, it's the Xenomorph from Alien.
Kombat Pack 2, the game's next DLC, includes four new playable characters: Leatherface, Triborg, Bo' Rai Cho and headline act the Xenomorph from Alien.
So yes, soon, you can set up Alien vs Predator in Mortal Kombat.
The video, below, shows the four in action. The Xenomorph slices and dices and bites and spears and does that horrible thing with its evil tongue. It also has a move that involves a cuddly face hugger. I love those guys.
There are a couple of things a little off about the Alien, though, such as the sharp teeth and Wolverine-style claws. I don't remember those in the films. But then, from what I remember from Alien lore, the Xenomorph takes aspects of its host as it works its way up the food chain. Perhaps Mortal Kombat's Xenomorph burst through Baraka's chest?
Edit: As you lovely readers have pointed out, this is exactly the case. The Xenomorph burst through poor Baraka's chest. Carry on!
If you buy Kombat Pack 2, you also get Goro, Mortal Kombat's famous four-armed Shokan warrior, as a playable character, along with a load of character skins, such as Brazil themed ones. The Brazil skin pack includes Futbol Cage, Capoeira Liu Kang and Gaucho Kung Lao. Because why not.

Former View co-host Rosie O'Donnell didn't think it was a great idea for President Barack Obama to chat up The View ladies.
"I have mixed feelings about that," said O'Donnell, 48, on her Sirius XM radio show Wednesday, the day before Obama's episode aired. "I don't really think sitting presidents should go do fluffy daytime TV shows. Maybe an hour on Oprah or something," said O'Donnell, adding, "although I'm happy for them. That's a good booking."
Sarah Palin also criticized the appearance. On Twitter yesterday, she wrote:
"President w/no time to visit porous US/Mexican border to offer help to those risking life to secure us,but lotso' time to chat on The View?"

DUDLEY South's MP was joined by the Prime Minister's Parliamentary Private Secretary and MP for neighbouring South Staffordshire at a Kingswinford manufacturing and engineering business.
Chris Kelly took fellow Conservative Gavin Williamson to meet Pressvess Limited and Eurocrane (Euro Electrical & Mechanical Limited) managing director Roger Bannister at the companies' Kingswinford facilities.
Mr Kelly said: "I was pleased to welcome the Prime Minister's Parliamentary Private Secretary and Member of Parliament for neighbouring South Staffordshire, Gavin Williamson, to Dudley South, where he joined me visiting Pressvess Limited in Kingswinford to see how this growing business is winning more orders - both domestic and export - and hiring more employees under the leadership of managing director Roger Bannister, of Wordsley.
"Gavin will be feeding back his findings to the PM who, I have no doubt, will be very impressed by what he hears back from our borough, not least how Pressvess is winning greater export orders all of the time."
Mr Williamson said: "I was greatly impressed by Pressvess during my recent tour of its factory in Kingswinford. It is fantastic to visit a business, such as this, which is so aggressively expanding and that is leading the way in the development of new products and new technologies.
"Local businesses, such as Pressvess, are ones that we should be incredibly proud of and it is important that we continue to do all that we can do to support their growth and expansion."
Mrr Bannister said: "I was delighted to welcome both Chris and Gavin to Pressvess to see what we do here in the Dudley borough. We are very busy at the moment, with the largest workload that we have seen in front of us since we started in business and we have now reached a record 50 employees."
Pressvess stands for pressure vessels, which the company specialises in.

In a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll conducted April 29 through May 1, 51% of the 1,006 adults surveyed said the economy would be "very good" or "somewhat good" a year from now. That was down from 60% in a survey taken in mid-December and was the lowest percentage since the question was first asked in October 1997. (Poll results: How would you rate economic conditions)
The survey confirms other data from the Conference Board and the University of Michigan that have shown a decline in consumer confidence in recent months.
"There are a lot of headwinds," says John Bitner, chief economist at Eastern Bank in Boston.
Bitner says the declines are not a surprise. Interest rates are rising on credit cards and home equity loans, and gasoline prices recently hit an all-time high, factors that are likely squeezing household budgets. Plus, although employers have created jobs every month since June 2003, job growth has still been relatively moderate, leading to continued uncertainty about the employment picture.
Still, Bitner and other economists do not expect consumers to slam their wallets shut and retrench. Even when confidence was declining in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, consumers proved surprisingly resilient, snapping up homes, cars and other big-ticket items that require long-term financial obligations.
"The correlation between these confidence surveys and the economy is pretty weak," says Charles Lieberman, chief economist at Advisors Financial Center in Paramus, N.J.
The International Council of Shopping Centers on Thursday said retail sales were up in April from a year ago. Sales were particularly strong at high-end stores, where customers are less likely to be affected by higher gas prices.
When asked about high gasoline prices, more than three-quarters of the Americans surveyed last weekend said they thought current prices at the pump were "unfair," and most expected they would continue to rise.
When asked who was to blame for the higher gasoline costs, the respondents were more likely to point the finger at foreign oil producers, U.S. oil firms and the Bush administration than at U.S. consumers who drive cars that use a lot of gasoline.

Box Score (PDF)
PHILADELPHIA--Freshman Elizabeth Hitti scored her first collegiate goal and added an assist to lead Penn (1-0) to a 5-2 win over Lehigh (0-3) in the season opener at Franklin Field. This is the first time since 2008 the Quakers have won their season opener.
Junior captain Julie Tahan picked up where she left off last season, tallying one goal for the Quakers. Penn also received goals from Amelia Cohen, Sunny Stirewalt and MaryRose Croddick, while sophomore goalkeeper Carly Sokach had four saves in her first career start to earn the win.
"The girls wanted to set the precedent this season of starting really strong," said third-year head coach Colleen Fink. "I thought it showed a lot of character from this program to regain the lead, score go-ahead goal and build from there. They're all very skilled and very capable and can rely on one another to finish the play".
Penn controlled much of the game holding a 24-6 shot advantage, 19 of those coming in the second half, and a 10-2 edge in penalty corners.
Amelia Cohen opened up scoring with her first career goal in the 29th off an assist from Sarah Hasson to give Penn a 1-0 lead. Stirewalt tallied one in the 34thminute, assisted by Hitti from a Helene Caniglia corner to make it 2-0.
Lehigh made a run at the beginning of the second half with two unanswered goals from scoring-leader Kim Eng and Lindsay Metzger to knot it up at 2-2.
Sokach & Co. would not give up another goal as Penn went on a 3-0 run to end the game. Hitti scored on a blast from the right side for the go-ahead goal in the 57th minute. Tahan added one seven minutes later and Croddick knocked one in from right in front of the goal with 20 seconds left to ice the game for the Quakers.
Penn returns to action Sunday at Franklin Field against Towson (0-2) at 7 p.m.

For half a century, one of the great taboos of public life here has been any discussion of a Japanese military role beyond Japan's shores.
Now the taboo has given way to an open debate, even prompting some calls for a revision of the "peace Constitution" that the United States imposed after World War II. Just as important, for the first time the Government is examining what it would be willing to do if a war broke out elsewhere in Asia, particularly in Korea.
Some scholars and diplomats say it is now an open question whether Japan will gradually move toward a more muscular foreign policy, backed by increasingly powerful armed forces. This might take decades, they say, but would eventually transform East Asia by shaping Japan into a military superpower as well as an economic one.
The taboo on security issues has eroded steadily in the last few years, but the crucial breakthrough came with the meeting last month in Tokyo between President Clinton and Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto. Mr. Hashimoto pledged that Japan would review the 18-year-old guidelines limiting cooperation with the United States military in a war.
"There is less taboo in Japan in discussing security questions, and that's a good thing," said Sadayuki Hayashi, the Vice Foreign Minister.Continue reading the main story
The benefits of a review were evident when Mr. Hayashi was asked whether Japanese hospitals would be allowed to treat American soldiers if they were wounded in a nearby war. Mr. Hayashi paused and shrugged.
"I don't know the answer to that," he said. "And there are hundreds of questions like that."
Among the concrete issues that Japan is preparing to resolve with the United States are these: In another Korean war, would American military planes be able to use Japanese civilian airports? Would Japanese military planes or warships be able to pick up refugees in Korea? If Japanese ships or planes were about to be fired on in international waters, would they be allowed to fire back? If an American warship were attacked, would Japan be able to come to its assistance?
One of the obstacles to a larger security role is the sensitivity of Japan's neighbors, particularly China and North and South Korea, all of which have horrific memories of Japanese wartime atrocities.
Even the tiny steps that Japan has taken in the last few years -- such as sending peacekeepers to Cambodia and military relief specialists to Zaire -- have provoked a bit of nervousness in Asia.
Still, ever since the Persian Gulf war of 1991 made clear that international respect comes from joining in security operations and not just paying for them, Japan has become increasingly willing to send troops abroad as part of relief or peacekeeping operations.
Another barrier to a more activist policy is Japan's Constitution, which renounces war "and the threat or use of force as a means of settling international disputes." The United States drafted that language after World War II.
But these days it is Japan that is clinging to its peace Constitution, while the United States is encouraging Japan to play a role in international security. Two years ago, with fears of a war between the West and North Korea growing, the United States informally asked Japan to provide minesweepers in case of a war. Japan responded that it could not, because of the American-drafted Constitution.
Japan's formal position is that the Constitution bars it from exercising the right of "collective self-defense." In other words, it could defend itself if invaded, but could not contribute to an international blockade of North Korea or even intervene to help an American ship under attack in international waters.
Yasuhiro Nakasone, a former Prime Minister who advises Prime Minister Hashimoto on security matters, said he was urging a revision of this interpretation.
"For the time being, I believe we should proceed with changing the interpretation of the Constitution," Mr. Nakasone said. "But in the medium to long term, we should think of revising the Constitution."
For now, Mr. Hashimoto has made clear that he has no plans to move toward collective self-defense, and the United States insists that it is not trying to push Japan in that direction.
"We stay out of that," said Ambassador Walter F. Mondale. "We think that those kinds of debates can be helpful for Japan. But we're proceeding on the basis that the current Constitution and policies will apply."
Still, the idea of scrapping the Constitution may be gaining ground. The largest-circulation newspaper in Japan, Yomiuri Shimbun, a respected mainstream daily, last year published a draft of its proposed new constitution for Japan, and the opposition leader in Parliament, Ichiro Ozawa, has endorsed the idea of constitutional reinterpretation to allow collective self-defense.
The bulwark of opposition to any military role for Japan has been Asahi Shimbun, the second-largest newspaper in Japan and one that caters in particular to liberals and intellectuals. But while the editorial pages still condemn the idea of a broader security role, the news pages, particularly articles written by the newspaper's Washington bureau chief, have embraced the idea.
Likewise, it is no longer so shocking to mention the possibility that Japan might one day arm itself with nuclear weapons. Kiichi Miyazawa, another former Prime Minister, said in an interview that the newly fortified security partnership with America would "forestall the argument inside Japan that we should go nuclear, should be a big military power."
To be sure, the debates for now in Japan are likely to focus not on issues of developing nuclear weapons or even on collective self-defense. Rather, they will concern more mundane matters, like legislation under consideration that would allow Japan to use troop ships to evacuate refugees abroad in a crisis, like a war on the Korean Peninsula.
That proposal is controversial because the ships would be armed. Sending unarmed ships into a war zone might seem foolish, but World War II traumas linger in Japan in the form of a deep anxiety about exerting military force abroad, so many people would rather seem foolish than threatening.Continue reading the main story

Is Kim Richards Headed for 'Dancing with the Stars'?
We hear the mother of four has been rehearsing her moves in the studio and could be in the lineup when the cast is announced next week. After what she says has been a rough year, it looks like she's on the road to a resurgence and recovery!
Kim, who stars on RHOBH with her sister Kyle Richards, is a former child star who appeared in numerous Disney films such as Escape to Witch Mountain. She also appeared on a slew of TV shows such as Dukes of Hazzard and The Love Boat. She is also aunt to Paris and Nicky Hilton.
Although it was uncertain if she would return to Housewives this year, it was recently announced that she and Kyle would both be back for season two. Maybe Kim will be adding yet another TV show to her lengthy resume!
The entire cast will be announced this coming Monday, August 29 during Bachelor Pad on ABC.

Genesee County lawmakers OK budget with slight tax increase
BATAVIA – Genesee County will spend more and property owners will pay more – both modest increases – in a $149 million budget for the next year that has been overwhelmingly approved by the County Legislature.
Expenditures are up $4.1 million or nearly 3 percent while real estate taxes will rise to $10.04 per $1,000 assessed value. The rate is up 15 cents from last year's $9.89.
It is the first hike in that levy in four years.
Despite rising unfunded state mandates, all services will continue.
The general fund from the property taxes will rise in 2014 to $104.6 million or 3.5 percent. A major offset is a projected increase in sales and use tax receipts of $14.5 million or $1.2 million more than this year's.
Added spending is made possible because $2.5 million is being taken from this year's surplus.
The budget for the county jail is up $4 million because the state wants higher staffing levels to meet inmates' basic needs.
Legislator Marianne Clattenberg was the sole dissenter as the budget was approved in an 8-1 vote. She wanted a lower property tax. However, it had already been cut from $10.11 in the original plan.
The budget is about $265,000 under the state-imposed 2 percent limit on increasing property tax collections. The Legislature last month approved a local law permitting it to exceed the limit if necessary.
The budget adoption is a month-long process that includes a warning to department heads to hold the line on spending. That enabled the Legislature to keep the property tax rate below $10 for several years but lawmakers noted that goal is no longer feasible with unfunded state mandates, largely Medicaid, whose $10 million consumes about one-third of the money raised by local taxes.

Chris Evans & Lily Collins: the visual
It was reported last week that Chris Evans and Lily Collins are dating. Sarah wrote about it here.

FameFlynet, Photographer Group/ Splash News
Sarah and I went for a switch today. She wrote about my #1 Oscar Isaac. And I'm writing about Chris Evans. She goes on and off on him. But the hope is always there.

Captain America and Snow White are thing, apparently
Wenn, AA Photo/ Splash News

Ugh, this f*cking movie. I have uncontrollable hatred for this movie. I hate it with the fire of a thousand suns. It's the dumbest movie I've seen in recent memory—yes, even dumber than Hot Tub Time Machine 2. At least that movie knows it's dumb. Full Story
Chris Evans: the Oscar not a date date

I happened to have my eye on the arrivals car camera when Chris Evans got there last night. The way he got out of the SUV and sauntered onto the carpet, with all kinds of cocky swagger, like he was rolling up to the bar with his boys on a night out… It did something to me. Which was a surprise because Chris Evans doesn't normally do things to me. Full Story

Yesterday at the BAFTAs Chris Evans and Henry Cavill presented Julianne Moore with the Best Actress award.

DANCERS from around the Midlands are limbering up for the return of the Wyre Forest Dance Festival.
The well-established event has become popular with local dance schools who annually sign up to compete during February half term.
More than 1,000 entries have been received to compete in a range of categories from Ballet solos to Cabaret groups during the vent which runs from 8.30am to 9pm every day.
This year a new Dance Festival committee has been formed to organise the festival in partnership with Wyre Forest District Council and they set up a Facebook page with dance updates.
Councillor Ian Hardiman, cabinet member for community well-being, said: "It's not just the dancers who love to come to the festival, the support we get is fantastic too.
"Last year we had approximately 1,000 people come to watch the wonderfully talented youngsters. Having an audience is an important part of the festival.
"Many former competitors have gone on to forge successful careers in the industry and Wyre Forest Dance Festival is proud to have been part of their pathway to success."
The festival is also accepting entries for the qualifying heat of national competition Miss Dance and Dance Master UK in Theatre Dance which takes place on Tuesday, February 18. The closing date for the qualifying heat is Friday, February 7.
The Festival will finish with the Junior, Intermediate and Senior Championships at the end of the week.
Entry is £3 and festival programmes are £2 and are available from the Worcestershire Hub, Kidderminster, or Kidderminster Town Hall, Stourport Civic Theatre Hall.
For details call Amy Smith on 01562 732975 or email email@example.com. For festival updates find the festival on Facebook (Wyre Forest District Council) or follow @wyreforestdc on Twitter.

MasterCraft owner buys Hydra-SportsPosted on
MCBC Hydra Boats, which purchased Hydra-Sports from Genmar for $1 million, is a subsidiary of the same company that owns MasterCraft Boat Co., CEO John Dorton confirmed to Soundings Trade Only.
Both brands are now owned by Wayzata Investment Partners, a Minneapolis-based investment firm.
"We started out with a real interest in Hydra-Sports from the beginning. It wasn't because it was a carve-out from the other packages. It's not the first time we've considered buying Hydra-Sports, in fact we put a bid in back when it was in the OMC bankruptcy auction as well," said Dorton, who will also serve as CEO of Hydra-Sports.
Hydra-Sports began manufacturing fiberglass fishing boats just outside of Nashville, Tenn., in 1973 and was acquired by Genmar in 2001.
"We just think it's a nice fit. It's a very high-end product," he added. "It doesn't compete with our core line of MasterCraft. We have capacity in Vonore (Tenn.) at our plant."
A court hearing is set for Wednesday to confirm the sale of all of Genmar's assets. Sales would become final Jan. 20.
Dorton said the plan is to move Hydra-Sports' tooling and molds to its plant and begin production in late spring for the 2011 model year. The company had been producing boats on a "limited basis," Dorton said.
They are in the process of talking with the brand's current "healthy, viable dealers," Dorton said. Hydra-Sports has a network of about 40 dealers.
"We're going to be very conscientious owners and work with the current Hydra-Sports dealer network and customer base to help them through any issues in the field currently and get into what hopefully will be a long-lasting relationship owning that brand for many years to come," Dorton said.
"We'll work with them to help clear up warranty issues," he added. "As you can imagine, we didn't profit any from the boats that were sold that are under the warranty population, so it will be partial participation, not full participation and we're going to try to work with dealers to help create an environment where we can use future sales to help fund some of their past receivables."
The new owners are not legally responsible for money owed to vendors, dealers or customers by the previous owners.
"We believe the vendors will have to work directly with Genmar on those claims," Dorton said. "We do intend to go back to the vendors that had been working with Hydra-Sports, set up new relationships and give them an opportunity to move forward with MasterCraft."
Dorton said they plan on bringing some of Hydra-Sports' current staff on board in the transition and the acquisition will allow the company to hire back some of its previously laid-off employees.
"While MasterCraft senior management will run the business, we will have separate design, sales, marketing and production teams," he said. "We plan on bringing some of the Hydra-Sports staff on board with us as we move forward and the remainder of the positions will be filled with former MasterCraft employees from when we had the layoffs. We've rehired about half of our work force … I think it will be a happy story for MasterCraft employees."

This last 12 months has been very stressful. I have worried about Mark, concerned he might be deteriorating, worried about work which is suffering during this financial downturn, worried about staff issues and so on. Even the dog ran off two weeks ago and it took me 2 hours to track her down, whilst sheer panic began to take over
But the one thing which has most disturbed me is the lack of His family contact. They were never the closest family but by any standard this behaviour is reprehensible. We have not been told where one daughter has moved to, been invited to see the new baby born 5 months ago (my Partner's Grandchild) thanked for the Christmas presents or telephoned just to see how we are. For nearly 18 months we have heard nothing and gleaned some public snippetts only from Facebook!!!
My Partner gets upset and is frustrated at the lack of contact but he is not able to facilitate it due to his Dementia. I love him and am angry at the cold and heartless view they take toward their father. What should I do? I feel that if I intervene I shall be regarded as the interfering Step Father, but if I don't they will effectively not acknowledge he even exists any longer.
I don't think I can trust their Mother to state my Partner's case. She is very defensive about them and I think indulgent of their raw and naked selfishness.
Any advice most welcome. Thanks for reading

Taking My Dog For His Walk - Poem by Kaila George
Nature as a way of creeping up on you
When taking your dog for a walk
And you can see him in the distance running after some unknown object
When it bursts into view...a rabbit as fast as lighting runs across your view
With your dog right behind in hot pursuit.....then they disappear from view
The sun shines down beating the heat upon your face as you watch your dog
Running from one end of the reserve to the next still chasing that darn rabbit
Then trotting back with tongue hanging you can see him breathing faster
He sits next to you panting content to sit in the shade of the tree
He makes me smile that dog....grins...he really does
He perks up his ears as he hears the birds flying above...then try's his best
To chase after the ducks that is just out of his reach...silly dog
We had a good day today...smiles...I so enjoy my time with him in the sun
As I take his leash and we walk home
OH GAWD...now he wants to take me for a run...help meeeeeeeeeeee! ! ! !
Have a nice day all...be back later's....waves

Upton, N.Y. (UPI) Mar 14, 2013
The new particle detected by the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland last summer is looking more and more like the long-sought Higgs boson, scientists report.
Results of analysis of the LHC data released Thursday bolster confidence the particle discovered is the Standard Model Higgs, U.S. researchers said.
Confirmation of the Higgs, a particle thought to give mass to other elementary particles, could confirm the last remaining piece of the Standard Model of particle physics, a collection of the smallest particles and forces and how they interact to make up the universe, a release from the Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York said.
The latest results, released at a conference in Italy, indicate the new particle is matching predictions of the behavior of the Higgs boson, sometimes referred to as the "God particle" because of its fundamental place at the center of physics theory.
"When we discovered the particle, we knew we found something significant," LHC team member Kyle Cranmer of New York University said. "Now, we're just trying to establish the properties."
However, even if the particle is confirmed as the Higgs, it won't mean the end of physics research and theory, one scientist said.
"Clear evidence that the new particle is the Standard Model Higgs boson still would not complete our understanding of the universe," Patty McBride, a researcher at Fermilab in Batavia, Ill, said. "We still wouldn't understand why gravity is so weak and we would have the mysteries of dark matter to confront. But it is satisfying to come a step closer to validating a 48-year-old theory."

Every company enjoys a unique member experience, but take a walk with us through a "typical" year with Latinum Network…
Day 1
How do I make the multicultural case to the CEO?
Every company is in a different stage of the multicultural journey, so the answer depends on inputs like category, target, and goal. We start, however, with your long-term vision, followed by share and sales goals, organizational implications and research needs, and we conclude with a picture of in-market success.Tell Me More
Day 45
How do I find growth in the multicultural economy?
Today, success means finding growth—a tall order in the post-"Great Recession" era. But, finding growth doesn't have to be complicated. We've synthesized hundreds of multicultural growth strategies into four families. By applying this framework to your company, Latinum can help increase annual growth from "zero to meaningful" in four quarters flat.Tell Me More
Day 97
What do moms in Houston think about my idea?
No matter your industry, offering, or target, we get you the intel you need to put great ideas into action. The approach varies by member need, but our creativity always leads to an answer. We start with shared cost resources, and then we tailor research solutions ranging from ethnographies to quantitative surveys.Tell Me More
Day 185
How can I learn from my peers in other industries?
From in-person events to non-competitive peer circles, we facilitate all kinds and levels of peer interaction. Members walk away from these experiences not only more informed, but also inspired to innovate and push their companies out of their comfort zones.Tell Me More
Day 274
How do I measure success?
Ah, the classic question of ROI. Every marketer needs to measure success and understand if efforts pay off. Multicultural marketing presents unique challenges that make that measurement more complicated. Fear not. We have identified the biggest hurdles to clear and therefore ensure members get both accurate readings and also don't overpay for media.Tell Me More

We've been busy "spring cleaning" and playing indoors. We haven't had any snow here in the deep south, but we are expecting a few days of heavy rain.
So far we have sorted through all of our closets and organized all of the toys.
There seems to be an overabundance of toys since Christmas!
I try to keep at least half of Drew's toys put away in his closet and rotate them out every couple of months. He gets so excited when we get out the "new" toys!
Well we better go batten down the hatches and put on our rain boots! Hope you have a great day!

My guidebook for this area labels Rat Crack as a 5.8. The first move off the ground seemed much harder than that for me. Perhaps it is 5.8 for those over 5'7'' or with a long reach...

|And the debate about Rat Crack's rating goes on. Troy Mayr calls it 5.9 with **'s. The start can be problematic, but with a "ring jam" and good footwork may be 5.9? Sandbag, definitely, but not 5.10b. No mystery that the start is the crux.

Lee Harrell introduced myself and others to Big Rock ca 1965. At the time there were only about 4-5 established routes. Lee had mentioned an easy crack on the left side of the rock (unbeknownst to us, he meant the Upper Crack) so when Phil Gleason and I mistook the Rat Crack for an "easy" route on our first trip to Big Rock in '65, I free soloed up the thing with Phil soloing behind me.
Given the difficulties, I was getting apprehensive about 1/3 of the way up and, while struggling to clean large amounts of debris from the crevice, suddenly an enormous rat shot out of the crack, jumped onto my shirt, ran down my pant leg and scurried past Phil in a bewildering frenzy. Shaken a bit, we continued up and when we later told Lee about the incident I believe he said: "Oh, I haven't done that route, but I hear that's why it's called the Rat Crack!" Hilarious!

"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Sputnik Sweetheart finds Haruki Murakami in his minimalist mode. Shorter than the sweeping Wind-up Bird Chronicle, less playfully bizarre than A Wild Sheep Chase, the author's seventh novel distills his signature themes into a powerful story about the loneliness of the human condition. "There was nothing solid we could depend on," the reader is told. "We were nearly boundless zeros, just pitiful little beings swept from one kind of oblivion to another."
The narrator is a teacher whose only close friend is Sumire, an aspiring young novelist with chronic writer's block. Sumire is suddenly smitten with a sophisticated businesswoman and accompanies her love object to Europe where, on a tiny Greek island, she disappears "like smoke." The schoolteacher hastens to the island in search of his friend. And there he discovers two documents on her computer, one of which reveals a chilling secret about Sumire's lover.
Sputnik Sweetheart is a melancholy love story, and its deceptively simple prose is saturated with sadness. Characters struggle to connect with one another but never quite succeed. Like the satellite of the title they are essentially alone. And by toning down the pyrotechnics of his earlier work, Murakami has created a world that is simultaneously mundane and disturbing--where doppelgängers and vanishing cats produce a pervasive atmosphere of alienation, and identity itself seems like a terribly fragile thing. --Simon LeakeFrom the Inside Flap:
Combining the early, straightforward seductions of Norwegian Wood and the complex mysteries of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, this new novel?his seventh translated into English?is Haruki Murakami at his most satisfying and representative best.
The scenario is as simple as it is uncomfortable: a college student falls in love (once and for all, despite everything that transpires afterward) with a classmate whose devotion to Kerouac and an untidy writerly life precludes any personal commitments?until she meets a considerably older and far more sophisticated businesswoman. It is through this wormhole that she enters Murakami?s surreal yet humane universe, to which she serves as guide both for us and for her frustrated suitor, now a teacher. In the course of her travels from parochial Japan through Europe and ultimately to an island off the coast of Greece, she disappears without a trace, leaving only lineaments of her fate: computer accounts of bizarre events and stories within stories. The teacher, summoned to assist in the search for her, experiences his own ominous, haunting visions, which lead him nowhere but home to Japan?and there, under the expanse of deep space and the still-orbiting Sputnik, he finally achieves a true understanding of his beloved.
A love story, a missing-person story, a detective story?all enveloped in a philosophical mystery?and, finally, a profound meditation on human longing.

In today's buyer's marketplace one little error in your submission for an academic position can cause your entire application to be rejected, not because you can not do the job, but because of an administrative oversight.
How can you minimize the chances of these errors? Set up a tracking system that makes sense - one that you can easily monitor.
When a university has an open position, they require certain information of an applicant. In many cases, the requirements are similar (CV, references, statement of teaching philosophy etc.), so for those similar items make sure you have them available both in a printed format and electronically. For those items that are different for each school (i.e. cover letter, special information, etc) , make sure you have copies from previous applications to refer back to or use as a template when you need to provide a similar document for another academic position. Always review and proof-read all of your documentation.
As you start your university job search process keep a detailed record of each opening, which items are required, references submitted, keywords found in the job description, copy of the cover letter, deadline dates, etc. At times you may wish to "customize" certain information for a given position and you need to keep track of what you sent with each application.
Applying for open college positions can become mechanical in nature, but you need to make each application stand out on its own and show the review committee that they need to hire you! This is where you must highlight your strengths relative to the university position and sell your abilities to the reviewers.
Almost equally important is your follow-up. Keeping in contact with the school and showing your continued interest is important.
If for whatever reason, you receive some form of communication letting you know that you were not offered the position, try to find out what qualifications the other person had that you lacked in a positive manner and use this feedback to better understand you strengths and focus.
