Last January, the US Supreme Court ruled that the police must obtain a warrant before secretly attaching a GPS tracking device to your car, at least for any length of time. The decision in Jones v. United States was heralded as a small victory for those of us who like our gadgets but love our privacy even more.
Yesterday, the US Circuit Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit failed to uphold the same kind of privacy protection for cell phones. In United States v. Skinner it ruled that because we all know cell phones have GPS transponders that can broadcast our locations at any time, we have no reasonable expectation of privacy when we carry them.

Milwaukee Kohl's Department Stores has opened its new photo studio in Milwaukee, just miles from the company's Menomonee Falls, Wis., headquarters. The new studio will be used to photograph nearly all weekly circular and e-commerce elements in house.
Kohl's said that it will still conduct on-location shoots, but by bringing more photography under one roof, efficiencies will increase, costs will decrease and more cohesive branding will result. The new photo studio more than doubles Kohl's previous studio space and serves as the first of more than 80 green buildings Kohl's plans to open in 2008 and beyond.
The 100,000-sq.-ft. facility was constructed using the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) criteria and is expected to earn a Gold rating from the organization.
Once certified, the company said it will be the only LEED-certified photo studio in the country.

So angry after seeing the consultant yesterday...(19 Posts)
My consultant said exactly the same thing to me I was mentally scared by ds labour 19 hours of induced hell for no reason as they knew he was mal positioned and had emc where son was blue and 0-1 on apgar scale there was no way on earth I was doing it again and she said if I went into labour b4 c section date I would be left to see how id go! The words f@#k no came out my mouth but she i nsisted! At the mo my bp is up and they wouldn't want me to push that much or at all but I'm petrified! Id love her to be a bit early but the words still ring in my head, she even refered me to a birth consultantg to discuss my previous birth to see if it would help change my mind, I am also of the bigger type and she spouted off all these reasons why it was best to push but at the moment I'm stuck betwen a rock and a hard place! She also told me that I would be constantly monitored so pool was out of the queztion and that 1 in so many the womb ruptures along c scar, with my daamn luck it would bed me! But on other side they will have to cut through myh placenta as its right where thy would do a c section so either way I'm dreading it!
How out of order. Things like this are the reason I am choosing a private delivery. But even to date, my nhs antenatal care has at times resulted in arguments and crying to the consultant because she is so blasé and dismissive.
She let a UTI develop despite noting white blood cells in my urine and the fact I went into labour 8 weeks early due to a UTI in my previous pregnancy. She wanted to discharge me to midwife despite me having an ongoing complication, and my mum had to cry at her before she would give me a course of antibiotics for my UTI.
I have got what I needed by standing my ground, and with the birth I am not willing to compromise or argue when I am giving birth so I am going private and paying for what I want even though I can't really afford it.
You poor thing. I would be asking why i was told last time that i shouldn't labour naturally and why this time no one has mentioned to you previously that you couldn't have cs. Outrageous. I.hope you get what you want and need.
I know it's so frustrating! And I've had constant scar pain. Just be adamant that a section is your only option.
Good luck
Good luck for Thursday IMissSleep how can they not class you being bed bound with sciatica and kidney infections a medical reason?! At least they've said you can still have your section if you start to labour naturally, I'm going to fight to have that put in my notes this week! Good luck again, hope everything goes well for you, not long before you'll be having those newborn cuddles
Just to add
I'm bed bound with sciatica and spd and have had on going kidney infections since 26wks and that has made no difference! Roll on thurs
I'm in the same boat.
Booked in for this thurs (39+6!!) because consultant wouldn't do it before. I tried getting it moved, they said no. Without a "medical" reason.
But - I was told that if I labour naturally then I can still have a section. Good luck
Complain complain complain. Make sure you mention the fact that ketones weren't explained to you too.
God it really gets my goat when hospitals treat pregnant women like stupid, naughty children.
Good luck!
Arrgh stupid phone! I was hoping to bring it forward because of my SPD and the fact I'm measuring 4 weeks ahead but didn't even want to get into that with that horrible woman!
Yeah I think I will speak to the head MW at the hospital too, going to kick up a right stink!
Not long until we meet our babies peeapod I'm hoping these next 3 weeks don't drag, the rest of my pregnancy has gone so quickly! I was hoping that I could bring my CS forward sl
You can speak to head of mw at the hospital too
im out of area for the hosp I go to but im not happy withddelivering thereagain.
Thats horrible how you was treated!
by the way.. my section..? booked for the 8th may
Thanks whereisthewitch I'm going to give my MW a call tomorrow, I'm still angry two days later! Grr! I think that's what I'm struggling with, she spoke to me like I was a child, bloody 30 this year! DP is fuming too so think I might let him loose on them, if not my Gran is great at times like this hehe
Congratulations weebigmamma so glad you had a lovely experience with your section, hope mine goes the same! Thanks for your advice, I'll see how far I get with my MW tomorrow and if not I'll complain directly to the trust. Enjoy your newborn cuddles xx
Complain to the health trust that your hospital comes under. That's what i dis when my consultant refused to talk to me about a section. Within days the section was booked because the head midwife got the letter and organised a meeting. She was brilliant. I was in bits- so nervous. I hate making a fuss and I cried and everything, but it was worth it and she was lovely. I had my section 3 days ago and it was a lovely experience. I wish you lots of luck- keeping pushing for what you know is right. One consultant can't have the final say. xxx
Speak to your midwife or the head of midwifery in your area and see who you need to speak to to change consultant. Don't be afraid to put your foot down or speak out especially when you're being made to feel so awful, I was treated like a child during my first pregnancy and labour and I swore I wouldn't let it happen again I'm over 30 ffs!
Hope you get sorted OP, do you have any pushy friends that could accompany you to further appointments
I'll be 39+3, really hope I'm not going to be in that 5%! Who would I ask to see a different consultant? I'm seeing my MW on Thursday, she's amazing. Problem is though at the hospital I've chosen I'm classed as being 'out of area' so my community MW'S are all under another one. Surely they must still be in contact with my hospital though? Think I'm definitely going to make a complaint, still can't get over the way she spoke to me, haven't felt that small and intimidated in a long long time
Definitely demand ti see a different consultant and make a complaint about that one you saw. No one can push you around you are an adult. I've told a few HCPs off in my time for treating me like an ignoramus, most recently a midwife last week and I'm not even a confrontational person but sometimes when you're pregnant they treat you like your brain has shrunk!
when is your section? week 39? I think its a very low figure that go into labour before then.. something like 5%.
I would ask for a 2nd opinion with a different consultant. it doesnt sound like you have a very supportive one.
Sorry this is a bit of a long ranty one!
With DS I ended up having an EMCS (48 hours of labour that failed to progress after induction resulting in a very distressed baby) this time round I was adamant from the beginning that I was going to have an ELCS so I didn't have to go through the trauma again of nearly losing my baby (one doctor told me last time I would never be able to give birth naturally).
So yesterday I had my 36 week appointment to discuss my 'delivery'. At previous meetings with one of the other consultants and MW's it's been agreed every time that I'll definitely be having another section...until yesterday.
I am still raging now The consultant waltzed in the room, completely ignored DP and then started to berate me about my weight (yes I have a high BMI but until now it hasn't been mentioned and apart from SPD my pregnancy has been great) then she proceeded to talk about induction...erm?! My face must have been filled with terror! When I said no I'm having a section she replied "oh no you're not" she hadn't even looked at my notes, thought I had a normal delivery last time!! I had no words to say I was so angry. Then she dropped the bomb, I can book in for a section BUT if I go into labour before then they will expect me to 'see how I get on' (exact words I heard last time and look how that ended up!). I just sat there shaking my head saying no I'm not going through that again and she just turned round and said 'you'll have to'
So basically I'm now terrified of going into labour before my section on the 6th May. Can they force me into trying a natural birth even though there's no way I'll be able to do it and will be traumatised again if I have to try? So so angry, all I wanted to do was sit there and cry!
Oh and I noticed afterwards that she'd wrote I had ++ketones on my notes and never even mentioned it to me, no idea what it means so that's another thing I have to worry about

A short trip to Tokyo, spring 2013. I wanted to catch the sakura (cherry blossoms) season but as luck would have it, the season arrived so exceptionally early this year that I only managed to catch the very tail end of it, well past the mankai (peak) stage.
Gorgeous deep-pink sakura flowers (or are these plum blossoms actually? I can't tell!) plus a big red pagoda, a top-notch combo for photos methinks, on a lovely clear spring day at Takahata Fudoson aka Kongo-ji, at Hino in western Tokyo.

Tama area is the name of the western part of Tokyo Metropolis. It consists of 26 cities, 3 towns and a village. A lot of people (about 4 milion) live in a eastern half part of the area. However, there are many mountains in the western part of Tama area, and there are very little flat land. Many hiking spots are in the western area, so you can enjoy walking on the trail, camping, and so on. If you see the beautiful mountain scene, you may not believe this is also in Tokyo.

BEREA — One of the obvious silver linings in the overtime loss to the Dallas Cowboys was the pressure the Browns put on Tony Romo. The Browns had a season high seven sacks and also hit the quarterback 10 other times.
It was the first time that Phil Taylor and Ahtyba Rubin lined up as the starting defensive tackles all season because of injury. The front four accounted for five of the seven sacks with Rubin, Frostee Rucker, Juqua Parker, John Hughes and Jabaal Sheard getting one apiece. Usama Young and Kaluka Maiava combined for one and Craig Robertson picked up the other one.
"I think it's important to get pressure on the quarterback," Pat Shurmur said. "Having Rubin and Taylor together was (big) we had a good rotation in there.
"Ideally, you would want eight guys to put in there, so when you add two guys that were starters last year, that makes us better."
While the Browns seem to have a promising young defensive line, the secondary was exposed greatly as the secondary couldn't take advantage of the pressure because when Romo did have time to throw he took advantage of the Browns loose coverage.
Cornerbacks Joe Haden (oblique) and Dimitri Patterson (ankle) missed the game and the Browns remaining cornerbacks were exposed greatly.
"I was happy the way the guys battled in the secondary," Shurmur said.
The Browns committed 12 penalties for 129 yards, including seven by the defensive backs that accounted for 87 yards. On the drive that allowed the Cowboys to go 66 yards in the final 1:07 to tie the game and send it to overtime was two of the biggest penalties when T.J. Ward was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and 15 yards and then Sheldon Brown committed a pass interference penalty for 35 yards to the Browns' 14.
The secondary gave the Cowboys first downs on seven penalties. Skrine had three penalties for 19 yards, Brown had two penalties for 40 yards and Ward had two penalties for 28 yards.
Ward's second penalty came just before Brown's pass interference penalty. Shurmur said he doesn't want to deter Ward's aggressiveness.
"We talked to him about the rules," Shurmur said. "A defenseless player you cannot hit a player in the head or with your head."
Shurmur's answer was succinct when asked what the Browns need to do to not give the opponents first downs and big yardage on penalties
"Don't hold and then you work on it," Shurmur said.
Shurmur was asked about Skrine's play.
"I thought he battled extremely hard," he said. "We like to play bump and run coverage."
Besides missing Haden and Patterson, the Browns were razor thin in the secondary ranks when Skrine went down with a head injury late in regulation and rookie undrafted free agent Johnson Bademosi had to play in overtime. He batted down a pass and Shurmur said he thinks he can play cornerback in the NFL.
"He played corner against the Dallas Cowboys," Shurmur said. "He has impressed me since he got here. I think he has a future here."
Play Calls: Just about every game there has been questions about the play calls. This week is no different. One of the questions was on the fourth-and-one in the final two minutes why the Browns chose to throw a fade to TE Jordan Cameron. The pass was caught but about five yards out of bounds.
"We had all three of our timeouts and were able to get the ball back," Shurmur said. "We had a fade ball to Jordan there, but we have to do it in a way to get it inbounds."
Why Can't Finish?: Shurmur continually preaches to the team that they have to finish. The Browns lost a 13 point lead and then came back to take the lead, only to lose in overtime.
"It's a cliché but you got to do it," he said. "Every game is a different story. We talk about finishing all the time. We talk about starting fast and we talk about finishing.
"We just have to find a way to finish and win."
At 2-8, Shurmur was asked if he's worried about the Browns being ready to play the Steelers.
"These guys love playing football and I see them bouncing back to play the Steelers," he said. "I think we have a locker room of tough guys who will keep pushing. For the most part they will keep working."
Out of Gas?: Shurmur was asked if he thought RB Trent Richardson was tired by the end of the game when he was unable to get in the end zone on consecutive plays near the goal line.
"I wouldn't over think that," he said. "Trent's improving each week.
"I don't think he ran out of gas," he said. "We're running full circle. Earlier, people thought we don't give it to him enough."
Richradson had 95 yards on 28 carries(3.4 avg.), but just 33 in the second half.
" I thought he did a lot of good things in the second half," he said. "(Dallas) as a team is pretty good against the run."
Fumble or No: Shurmur was asked to comment on whether he thought WR Miles Austin fumbled the ball late in the game that would've allowed the Browns to seal the victory.
"No comment. I have lots of no comments."
Lockdown Joe: Shurmur said that CB Joe Haden did everything he could to play against the Cowboys.
"He made every effort to go out there and play, right to the end," Shurmur said. "He was extremely disappointed he couldn't play."
Shurmur gave no indication if Haden, Patterson or Skrine will be ready for the Steelers game.
"We're hopeful and we'll see who's ready to go."
On Skrine, Shurmur said.
"He's alright," he said. "We'll see where's he at as we move forward."
Cribbs Comments: Last week, KR Josh Cribbs was quoted as saying he felt 'in a cage' because he's not getting the ball. Shurmur said he doesn't have a problem with Cribbs' comments.
"Josh is a very competitive guy and I said how impressed I was with his contributions to special teams," he said. "Josh is a tough guy and I appreciate what he brings. He was in there and had a couple of plays for him.
"He's just a competitive guy," he said. "Josh and I talk frequently. Very competitive guys want to feel they can make a difference. That's OK."
Shurmur said he's not concerned it will set a bad example to the young players.
"I think we all know each other and I'm confident we have a good locker room."

Scripps Health Campaign Spotlights Heartwarming Recoveries
Ads focus on patients' true stories of returning to life's passions
The first new television advertising campaign in more than 10 years from Scripps Health features ads with compelling and dramatic twists to the traditional approach to patient stories.
The ad campaign positions Scripps as the provider of lifesaving and life-changing heart, cancer and trauma care by showcasing the dramatic stories of three real patients and survivors. In addition to television, the new campaign includes print ads, outdoor, online advertising and social media. The campaign's first television commercial will debut in San Diego as part of a local media buy to air during the Super Bowl, Feb. 3.
'Where greater things happen' campaign theme
Three 30-second spots offer the new Scripps campaign theme, "where greater things happen". They each feature a "before and after" approach of weekend athletes — a cyclist, a surfer and a kayaker — who have suffered life-threatening illness or injury, but are now back to doing the things they enjoy most, thanks to Scripps.
"If we want to feature the lifesaving care Scripps provides, our patients say it best," said Don Stanziano, Scripps corporate vice president of marketing and communications. "Through this integrated marketing campaign, we use the patients' voices and give their stories of recovery and a return to a life they love a wider audience."
The campaign was created by DeVito/Verdi West the West Coast office of the award-winning New York advertising agency DeVito/Verdi.
Ads part of integrated marketing campaign
The print ads take a serious tone by telling the stories of several of these patients' recoveries, as well as introducing new ones. Social media efforts will include a play on the "Where greater things happen" theme, in which patient stories relating to Scripps' outstanding care and innovations are told and shared.
The print ads will run in a number of San Diego publications, and the TV commercials will air in San Diego on local news programs, morning talk shows, Sunday morning news shows, primetime network shows and select special programs, such as the NCAA basketball tournament and the Academy Awards, in addition to the Super Bowl. A package advertising buy made local spots on these highly viewed programs more accessible to Scripps.
"Scripps is a truly amazing institution that does amazing things every day. This body of work is designed to bring Scripps all the credit it deserves among prospective patients as well as referring physicians and other influencers in the health care decision process," said Alan Brown, director of DeVito/Verdi West.

Cardinals' Carpenter to make 2012 debut on Friday
The season-long journey back to the majors will finally come to end this week.
The St. Louis Cardinals announced that pitcher Chris Carpenter will make his 2012 debut Friday against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.
"I'm looking forward to getting back out there. I'm excited to get back out there," Carpentee told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I've put in a lot of hard work to get this done. It wasn't expected and I'm just fortunate to have the opportunity to pitch again."
Carpenter successfully passed his final hurdle on Saturday when he completed a 90-pitch simulation game in the bullpen.
He is scheduled to make two starts before the season ends and is eligible for the playoffs if the Cardinals make it. The Cardinals hold a one-game lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers for the second wild-card spot.
Adding Carpenter to the rotation is a big boost for the Cardinals. He's a proven big-game pitcher, especially in the playoffs.
Carpenter hasn't played all season because of thoracic outlet syndrome. It's been two months since he had was then-called season-ending surgery.

Acclaimed author Lynn Flewelling brings her beloved Nightrunners series to a close—at least for now—with a thrilling novel of murder, mystery, and magic.
The governor of the sacred island of Korous and his mistress have been killed inside a locked and guarded room. The sole witnesses to the crime—guards who broke down the doors, hearing the screams from within—have gone mad with terror, babbling about ghosts . . . and things worse than ghosts.
Dispatched to Korous by the queen, master spies Alec and Seregil find all the excitement and danger they could want—and more. For an ancient evil has been awakened there, a great power that will not rest until it has escaped its otherworldly prison and taken revenge on all that lives. And only those like Alec—who have died and returned to life—can step between the worlds and confront the killer . . . even if it means a second and all too permanent death.
Praise for Lynn Flewelling's Casket of Souls

Chapter 1
Rain on the Roof
Early-spring rain lashed against the windowpanes next to Alec's chair and drummed on the inn's roof slates overhead. With a fire crackling on the hearth, a good supper just dispatched, and an interesting tome borrowed from the Oreska House library open on his lap, Alec was looking forward to a peaceful evening. His companion, however, had other ideas.
Sprawled in a pile of cushions in front of the fire, Seregil had thumbed through a succession of apparently uninteresting letters, discarded several books, and now lay staring up at the ceiling and whistling a sad tune softly--and rather annoyingly--through his teeth. Alec guessed he was composing some new song, as he maddeningly kept repeating phrases and tapping time against the ash shovel with one bare foot. Even Ruetha and her kittens had lost patience with him and had retreated to their basket in the corner.
But as distracting as it was, and as melancholy as the tune sounded, Alec felt a certain amount of relief, too. It had been difficult for both of them, losing more people they cared about--Myrhichia, Lady Kylith, Duke Malthus--the previous year. They'd nearly lost Micum Cavish's daughter Illia, as well. Alec had felt the losses deeply, but Seregil was always one to hang on to pain, tinged as it was with guilt.
This was the first time Seregil had shown any interest in composing in months, so the interruption was almost welcome, even if it did mean Alec wasn't going to get any reading done.
He closed his book. "That's a pretty tune you're working on. Play it for me?"
Seregil glanced up at the Aurenfaie harp hanging on the wall. "It's not done yet."
"So play me what you have."
Seregil cast him a sidelong glance. "I'm annoying you."
"Just a little."
With an apologetic half smile, Seregil marshaled his long limbs and resurrected himself from his nest. Taking the harp down, he plucked at the strings, tuned them a little, then played a few bars of what sounded like a lament.
The melancholy tune together with Seregil's overall restlessness were familiar weather signs. Hoping to lighten his lover's mood, Alec said, "You know, you once promised me you'd never say it again."
"I haven't said a thing in the past hour," Seregil said, brows arching over sea-grey eyes.
Alec snorted softly. "And we haven't accepted a nightrunner job in nearly a month."
"There haven't been any worth our time. They're all so--" Seregil threw up his hands in exasperation.
"Go on, then. Just say it."
"Boring!" Seregil hung the harp back on its hook and faced Alec with his hands on his hips. "If I have to deliver one more love token or look for any more compromising letters, I'm going to hang myself!"
"We spend time at court."
"Yes, we do--and as much as I care for our young queen, I've made about as much polite chitchat as I'm capable of."
Alec couldn't argue that point. It had been a long, hard winter, burying Rhiminee in treacherous slush and ice that had curtailed riding and outdoor shooting; the last hunt had been just after Mourning Night.
They were relative newcomers in the royal inner circle, and favorites of Queen Elani despite their lowly rank, so naturally they were despised by a good many of the more established members of the entourage. Seregil won so consistently at the bakshi table, and Alec so consistently defeated other would-be archers--soft-handed nobles who'd never had to shoot true or else starve--that few would take them on anymore. Some had taken to calling them the queen's lapdogs behind their backs.
Their detractors might have had a great deal more to say if they could see them now, lounging in their hidden rooms at the Stag and Otter in decidedly unfashionable Blue Fish Street behind the Harvest Market. Seregil secretly owned the place, and it was their true home and refuge from the endless round of social obligations their public reputations demanded: entertaining at the Wheel Street villa, attending salons of their remaining friends, evenings at the Oreska House with Thero and Magyana, the requisite keeping up with the latest fashions via their tailors and jewelers. With the end of the war a year and a half earlier, luxuries were once more abundant and the black-market dealers were going hungry. Many people still decried the state of theater, since Master Atre and his marvelous company had abruptly disappeared near the war's end. The Golden Crane stood empty, but the other companies around the city were still suffering by comparison.
"Well, what do you want to do?" asked Alec.
"Get out of the damn city!"
"Then let's go out to Watermead. We haven't seen Micum and the family in ages."
Seregil looked out at the rain, and his thin lips tilted into a doubtful line. It would be a wet, cold ride, and he avoided being wet and cold as much as possible. "Maybe in a few days, if the weather breaks. Anyway, we're due back at Wheel Street in time to appear for Korathan's birthday."
He threw a few logs onto the fire and subsided back among the cushions with one of his scattered books.
Peace at last, thought Alec, returning to his own book--until Seregil started whistling again.
Chapter 2
A Timely Offer
They returned to Wheel Street and public life a few days later, attending the prince's birthday gala, and the social whirl began again. The foul weather continued--with sullen rain giving way to dank fog. They went to the theater, to gambling houses, and to a few salons, including that of Marquise Alania, a fashionable dowager who'd taken quite an interest in them since Seregil's risque display at the Three Dragons nearly a year ago. To her credit, her circle was an interesting collection of well-educated nobles, philosophers, artists, and amusing ne'er-do-wells like Seregil. The food and wine were always exquisite. Even Seregil had to grudgingly admit that life was a bit less tedious than it had been.
The weather improved at last, rain giving way to bright sunshine and brisk winds. They were at Alania's house one night during the Festival of Flowers when Alec noticed Seregil blinking and rubbing absently at his left temple as he lost a bakshi game to the court painter, Vireus. Finishing his game of Blue Goose with Alania and two flirtatious young noblewomen, Alec laid his cards aside and went to sit by Seregil.
"What's wrong?" he murmured as Seregil conceded the game.
"Headache," Seregil replied. "I'm afraid I'm going to have to make an early night of it."
"I'm so sorry to hear it," said the marquise, coming to join them. "I can have Evers prepare you a willow bark tea."
"That's very kind of you, but I think a good night's sleep is in order." Seregil bent over her hand and kissed it gallantly. "I promise you a fine dinner at Wheel Street to make up for this."
The wind had blown out many of the street lanterns, and those few left cast uncertain shadows at the edges of the street. It was a good night for footpads, even in this fashionable district of guards and walls, but Seregil seemed unusually distracted, often raising a gloved hand to his brow as he rode.
"You're in real pain."
"Must be the change in the weather."
As soon as they got home Seregil went to bed with a cup of willow bark infusion. When Alec came to bed later, he was asleep but restless. Alec touched Seregil's brow and was relieved to find it cool. He didn't wake when Alec blew out the night lamp and climbed into bed to pull him close. That seemed to calm him, and Alec soon drifted off.
A buffeting wind yanked persistently on his cloak and whipped his hair across his eyes as Seregil bent to inspect the lock on the huge oak door. The moon was high, casting enough light to see the rusted plate and enormous keyhole. Nothing in his tool roll was large enough to pick the lock. Surrounded by lichen-blotched stone, the door stood between him and Alec, and he had to get to Alec. The thought made his head and his heart pound painfully: must find Alec!
Thrusting his hand into the keyhole, he felt for the tumblers. They were razor-sharp, cutting the sensitive pads of his fingertips, but he could not stop. The pain was unbearable, but at last he felt the lock give. Withdrawing his bloodied hand, he swung the door open and found himself in a long corridor.
"Alec!" His voice came out strangled, barely audible. He tried again but could only force out a hoarse whisper.
As he started down the corridor, however, he heard his name called from a great distance that had nothing to do with stone walls. The corridor was long, and at the far end stood Alec, facing away from him.
"Alec!" Seregil croaked, knowing there was no way that Alec would hear.
As he'd feared, Alec disappeared around a corner to the right. Seregil ran to the turning, only to find another equally long corridor and, once again, Alec with his back to him. He called out, but Alec disappeared again--to the left this time. It happened again and again, as if they were playing some strange and frustrating game not of Seregil's choosing.
Rounding a final turn, he could see Alec crouched against the wall that dead-ended at the far end of the hallway. He had his face in his hands but Seregil knew him by his blond braid and his clothing. When his lover looked up, his once beautiful face was nothing but an empty-eyed skull. Suddenly a door opened behind him and Alec fell through it. The door disappeared as suddenly as it had come.
"No!" Seregil screamed. "Alec! Tali, come--"
The desperation in Seregil's voice jolted Alec awake in time to catch something hard and blunt in the face. With a grunt of pain and surprise, he automatically reached out to fend off an attacker, but instead felt Seregil sitting bolt upright in bed, trembling and covered in cold sweat. His voice was ragged and eerie as he whispered over and over, "Come back! Please come back!"
"It's all right, tali." Alec gently pulled him back down, settling with Seregil's head on his shoulder. It was too dark to see him, but Alec could feel his lover's heart hammering against his ribs, and the clamminess of his skin. Seregil was no stranger to nightmares, but it had been ages since he'd had one like this. "What was it?"
"A bad one."
"What about?"
"I--I can't remember."
"You talked in your sleep. You were begging someone to come back."
"Really?" Seregil drew a shuddering breath. "I don't know. I can't remember anything except being terrified."
"Maybe you will in the morning. How's the headache?"
"Still bad."
"I'll get you something." But when he tried to leave the bed, Seregil's arms tightened around him.
"Please, stay."
Alec pulled the sheet up to Seregil's chin and rubbed his back, as he had so many nights after Nysander's tragic death. It was a long time until he was certain Seregil was asleep.
The following morning they woke late. Seregil looked positively haggard.
"Does your head still hurt?" Alec asked.
"No, thankfully, but I don't think I slept well." Seregil rubbed at his eyes, then frowned up at him. "Bilairy's Balls, what happened to your face?"
"You did, tali. You thrashed around while you were dreaming." Alec went to the tall looking glass and ruefully examined the small bruise under his right cheekbone. "You're a hazard to sleep with sometimes."
Seregil came over and gently kissed the bruise. "I'm sorry."
"Maybe it was just the rich food last night. Alania's cook uses too much spice and butter."
"That's probably it," Seregil said with a chuckle, but it sounded a bit hollow, for they both remembered a time when his nightmares had been more than mere dreams.
Late-morning sunlight streamed in through the dining room doors. In the garden beyond, the crocuses had already vanished and jonquils and fragrant hyacinth were in bloom under the budding lilacs. Fresh green leaves adorned the rosebushes. Seregil and Alec were lingering over a late breakfast when Runcer ushered in Thero and his young apprentice, Mika.
Ten years old now, the sandy-haired boy had grown half a hand span since Thero had rescued him from the sleeping death. Bright and inquisitive, and a bit mischievous at times, Mika was utterly devoted to Thero. His wide grey eyes shone with pride and adoration at every approving word.
Runcer went off to the kitchen to fetch extra dishes and milk for Mika.
"What brings you two out so early?" asked Alec, pouring a mug of strong Aurenen tea for Thero.
"Early?" Thero scoffed. "It's nearly noon and you're still in your dressing gown. Did Alania keep you two out all night again?"
"No, we finished early, as it happens," said Alec.
"I like her," Mika informed them, reaching for a spiced bun. "She kisses me, but she gives me sweets, too."
Thero moved the buns out of reach without touching the plate. "Manners!"
The wizard's relationship with the boy was that of a teacher, mentor, and guardian since Mika had moved from his parents' house to Thero's tower rooms at the Oreska House. Despite being a rather strict disciplinarian, Thero clearly cared deeply for his apprentice, and Seregil continued to marvel at the transformation of the man--once rival, and now valued friend. The "cold fish" of old had matured into a reasonable human being, concerned with more than just his prowess with magic and thirst for knowledge.
Mika did his best to look contrite. "May I have a bun, please, Lord Alec?"
Alec grinned and nudged the plate back within reach. "Have as many as you like."
While the adults chatted about various social doings, Mika ate his fill of buns and bacon, managing to slip a few morsels to the pair of white Zengati hounds lurking under the table when he thought no one was looking. When the meal was over, Thero suggested the boy take the dogs into the garden.
Seregil whistled Zir and Marag out from under the table and found a well-gnawed wooden ball for Mika to throw for them. When he was gone, Seregil gave the wizard a questioning look.
"You look uncommonly tired, Seregil," Thero noted. "Don't tell me your roistering life is starting to catch up with you?"
"I didn't sleep well."
"He had a nightmare," Alec added, earning himself an annoyed look from Seregil.
"I'm sorry to hear that," said Thero. "You used to have them quite often, as I recall."
"Everyone has one now and then," said Ser...

Bonanza, Colo.
This Colorado silver mining town is largely abandoned. The majority of it burned down in 1937 — today, deteriorated structures outnumber those that still stand. Bonanza doesn't have a single business and it has no post office, but according to census data, it has a population of seven. Writer Antonya Nelson and her husband began buying up parts of the town in 2005, and today they own three blocks of Bonanza as well as an abandoned mine and a graveyard. Nelson says she doesn't have a street address and can't seem to acquire one because none of the buildings she owns is officially on the grid.
While Bonanza doesn't have addresses or cellphone service, it does have characters. Nelson says the town is inhabited by hermits: "You never see two together. Ever. For all I know, it's one guy with a lot of costumes." But Nelson has learned a few things about her handful of neighbors. One is a priest from Trinidad who lives in Bonanza to escape his parishioners. Another is a woman with a landline and a phone-sex service.

J.C. Penney has joined Macy's in opening its doors on Thanksgiving evening to open the holiday shopping season.
The chain said Friday it will open most of its 1,100 stores at 8 p.m. on the holiday, the same as rival Macy's, and will be open 25 hours straight, closing at 9 p.m. the following day.
The Thanksgiving evening opening is much earlier than last year, when Penney didn't open until 6 a.m. Friday. That made the retailer one of the laggards for the unofficial kickoff to the season.
Penney is also bringing back a tradition it ditched last year: It will give away nearly 2 million holiday snow globes starting at 4 a.m. on the Friday after the turkey feast.
Penney promised its deals will be at least as good as two years ago and will be much better than last year, when Penney gave away buttons tied to a prize giveaway.

Four face spy charges as Zimbabwe powerplay heats up
Page Tools
Zimbabwean prosecutors have charged four men including top figures from President Robert Mugabe's party with selling state secrets to foreign agents, the latest leadership scandal to swirl ahead of next year's elections.
State prosecutors confirmed on Thursday that Philip Chiyangwa, a businessman and senior member of the ZANU-PF party, had been charged under the Official Secrets Act.
The state-owned newspaper The Herald also reported the arrest on similar charges of Zimbabwe's new ambassador to neighbouring Mozambique, Godfrey Dzvairo; the ZANU-PF external affairs director, Itai Marchi; and Tendai Matambanadzo, an official at a local commercial bank.
The Herald said the "spy ring" could face jail terms of up to 20 years if convicted under certain sections of the Official Secrets Act.
A state prosecutor, Brian Vito, told journalists that a Harare magistrate was to rule on an application by Mr Chiyangwa's lawyers to have the charges against him dropped.
Mr Chiyangwa, a ZANU-PF MP and the party's chairman in Mashonaland West province, was arrested in January 2004 on charges that he had interfered with a fraud inquiry and threatened a policeman investigating the case.
Mr Chiyangwa was later cleared of the charges, which his lawyers said were linked to feuding within the ruling party over who should succeed Mr Mugabe, expected to retire in 2008.
The succession row heated up again in recent weeks, and seven top ZANU-PF officials were suspended before the party's five-yearly congress last month - a dramatic house-cleaning just months ahead of parliamentary polls scheduled for March.
The party has accused the suspended officials of holding a secret meeting to push the parliamentary Speaker, Emmerson Mnangagwa, for the post of party vice-president, seen as a stepping stone to the top job.

More pictures of Justin Gaston striking some raunchy poses with his male friends have been posted online, but he has yet issued a word about them.
The squeaky clean image of Justin Gaston remains questionable after several pictures of him striking some wild poses with his male friends are posted online. The pictures apparently are taken at the same time with the previous one which was posted on TMZ, judging from the fact that Justin wears the same cap and presumably the same black Calvin Klein boxer.
Bauergriffinonline.celebuzz.com, which is the first to leak the pictures, provides no details on the time and location of the pictures, but it is assumed that they are taken in a kitchen for in one of the pics there is a kitchen sink caught on camera. "Miley's Boyfriend: Justin Gaston Gone Wild!" so read the title accompanying Justin's wild pictures.
In one of the pictures Justin is shown wearing a rolled-up "Daytona Beach" t-shirt which exposes his six pack stomach. He wears a black cap and a matching boxer under his very short blue pants. He smiles to the camera as his bigger male friend lifts him up. The twosome is also photographed in a more raunchy pose with Justin placing his body on top of his friend's.
Justin, in another pic, is also seen lifting up his right hand highly with his left hand gently touching his chest. More wild pictures of the underwear model are on Bauergriffinonline.celebuzz.com.

Just Got ORG, Who Wants To Trade? - 20youksox - 01-15-2012 02:17 PM
I am looking for any Youkilis cards I don't have yet. Because I just got ORG today, it is a little outdated, and I am working on it. So, if you see something in my bucket that isn't in my ORG yet that you are interested in, let me know and I will put it in first for you. Also, some things are in there that I no longer have, so I will be working on removing those as well.

I am considering the Active FX. I do not have much sun damage and am very sensitive to the sun. I am anxious about the procedure. My Dr. says it is painless and you feel like hot sand blowing on your face and can expect swelling for a few days. I have read reviews and it seems as if many people have various reactions.
Is the Active Fx Procedure Painful?
Doctor Answers 5
Is the Active Fx Procedure Painful?
Thank you for your question. Laser resurfacing such as Active Fx works by stimulating collagen, smoothing out lines, wrinkles and scars, removing brown spots and other irregularities. Expect to have final results at about 6 months as it builds collagen to tighten and tone the skin and improve superficial lines and wrinkles. There is about a 1-2 wk. downtime as the skin recovers, depending on the severity of sun damage and depth of treatment. I would recommend being treated under the supervision of a Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon for safest and best treatment options. I hope this helps.
Active FX should be comfortable
With proper topical numbing and/or nerve blocks where appropriate, the Active FX procedure is very well tolerated by patients. We use forced air cooling in addition to numbing agents to increase patient comfort during the procedure. Very rarely does a patient require an oral medication for pain control or relaxation during or after the procedure.
How painful is Active FX ?
Thanks for the question.
In general, the Active FX procedure is very well tolerated. We incorporate a topical anesthetic with oral analgesics and local blocks, providing excellent pain control. I recommend consulting with your clinician to find out what type of pain control regimen they implement.
Warmest Regards,
Glenn Vallecillos, M.D., F.A.C.S.

Active FX treatment comfort
In general, this is quite tolerable without need for deep anesthesia, however the doctor and staff must take certain steps to ensure this. Our patients are offered a mild sedative, as well as a pain pill before treatment, and they are administered a topical numbing cream. During the treatment, an assistant cools the skin with a specialized air cooler. The sedative and pain pill are optional, but make for a relaxed, pleasent treatment session. I would recommend discussing with your physician in advance which comfort measures are employed.
Pain and ActiveFX Fractional Laser Treatment.
The perception of pain is a very individual thing. What one person perceives as hot or cold can be perceived by another as pain. This is why the reviews you have read have varied depending on the individuals experience.
To avoid this issue we have a standard protocol for SkinMD patients undergoing ActiveFX, DeepFX and TotalFX Treatments that includes application of a topical anesthetic to the treatment area as well as prescribing an oral anti-inflammatory medicine to help with post-procedure swelling.
Be sure to ask your doctor what kind of preparation they provide for patients before and after treatment.

Nurse-Family Partnership's core education and Visit-to-Visit guidelines are the mechanism by which the theories of self-efficacy, human ecology, and attachment are woven together within a professional nursing practice framework to produce a unique program of great depth, breadth and vitality.
Self-efficacy theory (Albert Bandura)
This theory is rooted in the notion that people are more likely to engage in a desirable behavior if they believe the behavior will produce a desired outcome. They must also believe they can successfully carry out that behavior to achieve the outcome. The Nurse-Family Partnership model helps parents set realistic goals and bolsters parents' confidence in their ability to reach those goals. Examples include avoiding or stopping risky behaviors, engaging in healthy behaviors and/or coping with challenging situations.
Human ecology theory (Urie Bronfenbrenner)
This theory holds that how parents care for their children is influenced by the larger social context in which they live. This context includes relationships with other family members, friendship networks, neighborhoods, communities and cultures. The Nurse-Family Partnership model acknowledges the impact of these various elements while helping parents negotiate and regulate their environments.
Attachment theory (John Bowlby)
This theory proposes that children who receive sensitive and responsive parenting are more likely to become sensitive and responsive parents themselves. The Nurse-Family Partnership model promotes nurturing parenting through a variety of direct teaching methods. Learning is further enhanced by the supportive and caring relationships that nurse home visitors establish with parents.
"As Congress considers proposals to address the shortcomings of our nation's educational system, Paul Tough [Sept. 7 article] reminds us of the need to look beyond the classroom for programs that help lower-income children succeed in the classroom. Congress need look no further than early intervention programs like the Nurse-Family Partnership."

TYTHERINGTON ROCKS scraped past County League side Longlevens after winning a penalty shootout.
Longlevens came away feeling that they really should have won this game after they took the lead on 12 minutes when Brad Martin headed home a Danny Moore cross.
Rocks then came back into the game and equalised on 30 minutes when Tim Baker was brought down in the box and Stuart Nelson scored from the penalty spot.
The second half started well for the Rocks when a cross from the right by Nelson found Toby Colbourne, who coolly slotted in from the edge of the six yard box to put them 2-1 up after 51 minutes.
Longlevens got on level terms in the 68th minute when a hard shot from Martin was blocked by keeper Kevin Freeman only for Martin to follow up and score.
For the rest of the game Longlevens gave the Rocks defence a hard time, trying to get the winner without success, and the game went to penalties with Rocks coming out on top.
With most of his players due back this Saturday, Rocks manager Gary Powell should have a full squad available for the first time in five weeks when they play Clanfield at home, 2pm.
- Tytherington Reserves continued their winning ways when beating Rockleaze Reserves away 2-1 with both goals coming from Nick Jones, including a penalty.
This win keeps them top of Bristol Suburban Premier Two.

My husband and I have been referring to these past few months as "The Spring from Hell" for various reasons that I don't wish to rehash. Basically, anything the could go wrong, did, and there wasn't much we could do about it. This, plus the constant rain, delayed all gardening activities except seed starting, and seed starting went REALLY poorly.
As such, the garden is WAY behind, and we're weeks away from having any type of real harvest. Still, we're hoping to get a big enough harvest later in the season that we can freeze a bunch for winter, and possibly can some sauce and pickles. If things keep moving forward we should be right on track.
This is what remains of our seedling starts. We also had some volunteers pop up that were added to pots vacated by other plants. We'll see how those do.
The three side beds are doing well. Some of the onion starts have died, but I think it was because the kids smothered them with straw before I could clear it off. It's all one area and I may put a cabbage there when I thin the other bed.
The long grey container is spinach, but it doesn't seem to be coming up yet. We still have some cleaning to do, and need to dig two drainage channels to keep the sidewalk from flooding and pooling, but it is looking a lot better.
The squash bed (triangle by the yellow buckets) is coming along, and I moved the thinned yellow summer squash to the cucumber/bean bed by the water barrel. At the time I had forgotten what I planted and thought I was transplanting some pan patty squash. Now I need to find a new place for the pan patty squash or take down some of the yellow squash.
The pea and bean bed is fully weeded and the tomatoes and basil are looking good with their straw mulch. We had some issues with blossom end rot last year, which seemed to be caused by the ground getting so dry so quickly. We're hoping this helps a bit.
Something is eating leaves from my beans and peppers. There are any possibilities, so I need to catch whatever it is in the act.
Beans all seem to be doing well except for the holes in some leaves. The kohlrabi is oddly untouched.
This is the side of the house where we stash all of our supplies for now (except for tools and anything that can't get rained on...which go in the sun room).
The water barrel is now set up. How unfortunate that it's been bone dry and a million degrees for the last few days when the whole rest of spring was nothing but rain.

Here's more evidence that Windows Phone is headed in the wrong direction: The latest sales figures show that its market share has dropped in the world's largest markets in the U.S. and China, and "stutters" in Europe, according to the report's author. Can anything save the struggling operating system?
Kantar Worldpanel ComTech's latest numbers for smartphones contain no good news for Microsoft. The worst news of all is how Windows Phone is faring in the world's two biggest markets, the U.S. and China. In the U.S., its market share for the quarter ending on March 31 was at 5.3% -- 0.3% down from a year ago. In China, things are much worse, a dismal market share of 1%, down from 1.9% a year ago.
Even in Europe, which has been Windows Phone's stronghold, things are not going particularly well, where it now has 8.1% of market share in the largest European countries. In the previous quarter, ending December 31, Windows Phone had a 10.3% market share, which means that Microsoft's smartphone operating system fell more than 2% since last quarter in Europe. So it's no surprise that Kantar titled its blog post about the findings as "Apple regains momentum as Windows stutters." Dominic Sunnebo, strategic insight director at Kantar Worldpanel ComTech said that Windows Phone is so far having a bad 2014, noting:
"Windows had a tough start to the year as a result of its entry-level Nokia models facing fierce competition from low-end Motorola, LG and Samsung Android smartphones.
It's getting harder to imagine Windows Phone making any headway in the world's largest markets, and it's starting to stagger in Europe as well. Android, meanwhile, continues to roll, with 57.6% of the market share in the U.S., a remarkable 80% in China, and 70.7% in the five largest European markets.
So it should be no surprise that Microsoft is going all in with Android, with Nokia's new line of Android phones which will carry Microsoft services on them instead of Google ones. Stephen Elop, former Nokia CEO and now chief of Microsoft's Devices unit which oversees Windows Phone recently made clear that Android is key to Microsoft's goal of reaching 1 billion users of its services. In a Nokia Ask Me Anything session he said that Nokia's X line of Android devices are key to Microsoft's future. He said this in response to a question about the X line:
"Microsoft acquired the mobile phones business, inclusive of Nokia X, to help connect the next billion people to Microsoft's services. Nokia X uses the MSFT cloud, not Google's. This is a great opportunity to connect new customers to Skype, outlook.com and Onedrive for the first time. We've already seen tens of thousands of new subscribers on MSFT services."
It may well be that nothing can gain Windows Phone significant market share, and that Microsoft has begun to accept that, as shown by Elop's statement. If that's the case, Microsoft's mobile future in large part will be decided by Android.

10 Inappropriate Children's Book Titles.
I'll admit, I wasn't much of a reader as a kid. I could barely be bothered to sit still long enough to finish my cereal and watch cartoons. I was always outside doing something. To this day I still don't read much, and when I do it takes me awhile to read a whole book. Not because I'm slow in the head or anything, the jury is still out on that. I just can't focus on sitting still staring at something for any extended period of time.
However, if these books were around when I was a kid I don't think I'd have any problems staying focused. And knowing then what I know now, some of these could have spared me some consequences of dumb decisions. I digress…here are 10 hilariously inappropriate children's book titles for your Tuesday enjoyment!

BARGAIN hunters from Barnoldswick, Earby and further afield have generated a bonanza for cancer charities.
Charity shop sales have enabled Barnoldswick and Earby Bosom Friends to hand out £14,000 to seven good causes.
Eighteen months of trading has seen the store become a popular fixture in the middle of Barnoldswick's town square.
First it flourished in Frank Street but since November the premises have gone from strength to strength by moving to the former Pendleside Mortgages offices in Ellis Street.
Pendleside Hospice, Barnoldswick's Park Road surgery and Earby Surgery were among the wave of beneficiaries, receiving £2,000 apiece.
Pendleside Hospice, Myeloma Research, Brain Tumour Research and the oncology ward at the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital were given the same amounts.
The remaining £2,000 will support the work of the charity's mini-bus, which takes patients from West Craven and surrounding areas to Airedale Hospital for check-ups and treatment.
Mary Brennan, Bosom Friends chairman, said: "It has all been collected through the shop because we've had such a good return over the past year and a half.
"We do all our own fundraising but we are not the kind of charity which likes to hang on to the money."
The presentation of the £2,000 cheques took place during a ceremony at the Cellar Bar in Rainhall Road, Barnoldswick.

My biggest mistake-moving domains. But I merged 2 blogs, I think it'll be better for me in the long run-but it did cause a dip in readership.
Blogger is great for personal blogs, but self hosted WP just offers so much more.
I tried blogger-more than once, but I just didn't care for it. I was limited too much in what I could do.

I see that a lot of people regret starting their blog on Blogger. Why is this? I have recently started my blog and I love using Blogger. I think it is so easy to use. I'm really curious to hear responses.
Just getting back to it. I remember having angelfire website or a yahoo type of site before there was a real thing as blogging. So, I skipped around a lot and never stuck with one site. But most recently, my husband wen to back up the server and my site, and he deleted the site by accident. So, I am starting over once more.
My biggest mistake so far has been jumping on board with a brand partnership (out of sheer excitement that they wanted ME) without demanding more details about compensation up front. What I learned, is that just because you've been asked to work with a recognized brand, doesn't mean that they are prepared to roll out an organized campaign with fair compensation. Disappointing, but, next time I will know which questions to ask!
Not socializing enough! Ack!!
Not backing up my site consistently!!!! My site was hacked recently & the last back up was in February - it took me weeks to re-do all of March's work & fix my galleries which meant I couldn't write anything new for a few days which caused a dip in my traffic.
Back up your site daily!!! Back up your pictures daily & back up your design changes weekly!! I never imagined I could get hacked....but I did and it can happen to anyone & if you dedicate so much time and effort as I do into your blog then you'll understand how devastating it was to log on one day and find nothing but a laughing joker mooning me!
Back up your work!
Wordpress gives you better control over the blog. It is easier to bring onto your own web host. I've used them both, and the blog I am bringing back to life, A Home Business in Today's Economy, is on blogger. I wish I had moved it to wordpress before starting, because I have a post I want to stay at the top and blogger doesn't give you a "sticky" option. Blooger is a good tool to learn the basics with, but as you progress, you will find it is limited. It does not allow some coding to work, which can hinder how your blog works, and what you can post where.
That is just my 2 cents though, others may have different, or be able to explain it better, or not like wordpress at all.

I'm new to blogging, and of course I started out on blogger. Should I have picked wordpress instead?
What's the difference?
Melissa Choate said:
If I had it to do over again I would never have started on Blogger. I also would have created a separate email address, just for my blogging identity. Then I could exist on Facebook without having my blog page linked to my personal page. The same goes for Twitter. It's not a matter of remaining anonymous, it's about avoiding confusion. I wish I could pass this along to every would-be blogger.
I wish I would have started on Wordpress. Not having balance with my writing was my biggest mistake. Too much of one thing or too little of something leaves your blog stagnant. Be diverse within your own niche.
Promoting Biblical Womanhood
I started on Wordpress and I'm glad I did. I used to use blogger for other blogs I wanted private, but if you want a blog to be known, Wordpress is the way to go.
I don't regret anything as I *try* to remain somewhat anonymous for my child, which is why I don't write down her name in the blog, in case she's older and googles her name and sees a blog about how her butt had a nasty rash ;)

The Shelbyville Citizen's Advisory Board is diving headfirst in to a couple of projects its members believe will benefit the city.
The board, which was organized by Shelbyville Police Chief Robert Schutte a little more than five years ago, is organizing a coat drive and will have a bike rodeo in May.
It may seem like an odd time of the year to have a coat and blanket drive, but board member Ann Morris described it as kind of a spring-cleaning for winter.
The Shelbyville City Council took the first step for annexation of the property where the former Bluegrass Bowling Center now sits.
The council voted unanimously in favor on the first reading of annexation at Thursday's special called meeting. The second reading will be at another special called meeting on April 19.
The move could pave the way for the county's only bowling alley to reopen.
A group of business and property owners finally had their say in front of the Shelbyville City Council during Thursday's special called meeting at city hall.
The group was formed in opposition to the city's sidewalk ordinance, which calls for property owners to repair sidewalks along their property when they fall into disrepair.
You may have read recently about a bold new policy decision rendered in Bullitt County.
Bullitt's Board of Health voted to make all publicly accessed facilities in the county – including some parks and outdoor areas – smoke free.
We find this an intriguing step in the debate between smokers' rights and the greater good of public health. Their concept also is far more wide-ranging and stringent than policies passed by legislative bodies across Kentucky.
The preliminary approval of state incentives announced Thursday for Ficosa North America is the latest in a surge of terrific economic news for Shelby County.
Following announced plans at Martinrea Heavy Stamping, Katayama and Shelby Industries, we are now up to four the number of companies that will be adding jobs in the coming years.
I am writing to express my disappointment in local politicians for supporting the proposed 35 percent, across-the-boards reduction in Kentucky Medicaid services. Do they fully understand the impact this would have on our most frail and vulnerable population?
Officials of a local animal support group have expressed dissatisfaction with the way the proceeds were divided from a fundraiser that included all animal rescue organizations in Shelby County.
The Monarchs, Mutts & Meows, an overflow event at Claudia Sanders Dinner House on Feb. 12, generated about $15,000 that was to have been divided among the Shelby County Humane Society, the No-Kill Mission, Operation Catsnip Woodstock and Lifebridge for Animals.
Richard Luebbert pauses as he considers how to describe his first book, just off the presses and already in a second printing:
"Well, it's about Jesus," he says simply.
The book is called, a little less simply, Jesus for the 21st Century, The Unified Gospel, which Luebbert describes as a "new look at the old, old story."
The book, which he will display at a signing April 21 at the Shelby County Public Library, is the combined gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John arranged in a new way
The practice of stealing metallic parts from automobiles for sale as scrap metal has led to another theft, police say.
Sometime between 3 and 7 a.m. Thursday someone cut the catalytic converter off two vehicles on the lot of Clear Creek Auto at 87 7th St.
Istvan Kovacs, community resource officer at the Shelbyville Police Department said that catalytic converters are frequently targeted by thieves, who sell them to recycling centers as scrap metal.
The converters will cost more than $200 each to replace.
Robert W. Jones, 55, of 583 Hawthorne Ave. in Shelbyville was arrested March 28 on Waddy Road and charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, first offense and speeding.
Duron Campbell, 23, of 28 7th St. in Shelbyville was arrested March 28 on Midland Trail and charged with operating on a suspended or revoked operator's license and possession of a license when privileges are revoked.

Daimon is the Greek derivative for the term demon. In this sense the term "demon" means "replete with knowledge." The ancient Greeks thought there were good and bad demons called 'eudemons' and 'cacodemons.' The term 'daimon' means "divine power," "fate" or "god." Daimons, in Greek mythology, included deified heroes. They were considered intermediary spirits between men and the gods. Good daimons were considered to be guardian spirits, giving guidance and protection to the ones they watched over. Bad daimons led people astray. Socrates said he had a life-time daimon that always warned him of danger and bad judgment, but never directed his actions. He said his daimon was more accurate than omens of either watching the flights or reading the entrails of birds, which were two respected forms of divination of the time.
