Core Bond With Higher Yield Potential. Core Plus is a foundational bond fund that's designed to generate a higher total return through a mix of core bonds plus lower quality securities.
Enhanced Return Potential
The management team builds Core Plus on a diversified base of government, corporate and mortgage securities. They seek to increase risk-adjusted return potential by investing up to 35% of the portfolio in high-yield, emerging market and non-dollar issues.
Outperformance During the Credit Crisis
The management team recognized market risks and structured the portfolio appropriately prior to the Credit Crisis, providing Core Plus' shareholders with positive returns while our intermediate-term bond competitors lost an average of -5.42%.1
A Proven Diversifier
Core Plus' historically low correlation with the U.S. stock market makes it an ideal diversifier because the fund may help offset stock price movements.2 Surprisingly, competing intermediate-term bond funds are slightly correlated with stocks on average.1
Core Plus gained ground while others melted down during the Credit Crisis
1 The Average of Morningstar Intermediate Term Bond Category is an average of all the funds in this category. It is not an investment product available for purchase.
2 Based on a comparison with the S&P 500® Index as of 9/30/2013.
A Note About Risk
The lower-rated securities in which the fund invests are subject to greater default and liquidity risk, because the issuers of high-yield securities are more sensitive to real or perceived economic changes. Generally, as interest rates rise, the value of the securities held in the fund will decline. The opposite is true when interest rates decline. International investing involves special risk considerations, including economic and political conditions, inflation rates and currency fluctuations. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks. There is no guarantee that the investment objectives will be met. Dividends and yields represent past performance and there is no guarantee that they will continue to be paid.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Diversification does not assure a profit nor does it protect against loss of principal.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/1/2013 (1665 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A Cross Lake elder who joined Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence on a hunger strike Dec. 12 travelled to Ottawa to join her in person Monday.
"We have been drawing strength from each other," Raymond Robinson said in Winnipeg en route to the nation's capital.
The Cross Lake elder said he's been keeping in touch with Spence since their hunger strike began. With the blessing of his wife, family and First Nation, Robinson decided to take his hunger strike to Ottawa as well.
"We are, more or less, joining forces," said the Cross Lake mental-health worker.
"To meet and pool our strengths from that and energize ourselves, it will be a powerful thing," said Robinson, who started his hunger strike 10 hours after the chief from Attawapiskat.
She went on a hunger strike to get Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Gov. Gen. David Johnston to meet one-on-one with First Nations leaders and promise to live up to Canada's and the Crown's treaty obligations.
Robinson, a residential school survivor, said he felt so betrayed by the prime minister he decided to join Spence on a hunger strike.
"On June 11, 2008, Harper stood in front of Parliament extending his hand to First Nations people of Canada saying, 'I am sorry for all the atrocities done to your people... I ask you to forgive me, to forgive us. Let's forge a new relationship,' " said Robinson.
That turned out to be just a "ploy," said Robinson. "Look what he did four years later."
Bill C-45, the recent omnibus budget bill, removes federal oversight over waterways without consulting aboriginal groups. Critics say it weakens environmental protections.
"It was done without consultation and without the input of First Nations people," said Cross Lake First Nation Chief Garrison Settee, who accompanied Robinson to Ottawa. "It's disrespectful of the First Nations people of Canada and a violation of our UN rights as indigenous people... This should not be tolerated."
The passage of Bill C-45 is "more ferocious and genocidal than what's been done to us in the past," said Robinson. "This is the final assault. (Harper) wants to take full control of our lives," said Robinson. "This is the reason I'm challenging him."
And it is a challenge, said Robinson after going three weeks without food.
"My ribs hurt, my stomach aches -- it's cramping up, I'm a little wheezy and can't be on my feet too long," he said. His 21-year-old son, Baptiste Robinson, went with him to Ottawa for support.
"I was a hunter, a fairly active person and always mobile," said the elder Robinson, who has been surviving on a diet of herbal tea. "My strength is depleted from a lack of proper nourishment."
The bitter cold is harder to take, too, said the outdoorsman Monday when it felt like -28 C with the windchill in Winnipeg.
"There's a pressure in my chest, heart and lungs," he said. "It's a feeling like I have this icy water flowing through my veins and I can't get warm," said Robinson. "There's a tingly, numb sensation up and down my legs and arms... I can't make a fist and sometimes I can't feel my arms until I move them around."
But if he gets up too quickly, the room spins, he said.
Robinson has seen a traditional healer and will get checked after joining Spence in Ottawa, he said.
"I'm not going to quit till we have what we're seeking from Harper, which is a fair, open dialogue with First Nation leadership across Canada," he said. "I'm not going to stop."

Vientiane Activities
What to Do in Vientiane
One of the Laos people's favourite pastimes – as will become apparent when you are there – is sitting and watching the time pass by. The French coined the phrase: 'The Vietnamese plant the rice, the Cambodians watch it grow and the Laos listen to it grow'. Understandably, this is not in everyone's nature, but a few hours of guzzling Beer Lao on the tranquil shores of the Mekong, is kind of mandatory for any Vientiane visitor.
Alternatively, the numerous educational sites, natural wonders and startling scenery should satisfy. For those who want to work up a sweat by other means than walking, trying taking an arranged hike, bike ride or working your way around one of the picturesque golf coursesRead More
- Full-Day Private Guided City Tour
- Private Tat Sae Waterfalls Hike with Elephant Ride
- Traditional Lao Life
- Private Full-Day Vientiane & Surrounds Excursion
- Private Full-Day Vang Vieng Excursion & Boat Ride
- Private Full-Day Tour to Phou Khao Khouay National Park
- Private Hill-Tribe Village & Kuang Si Falls Tour
- Small-Group Morning Almsgiving & Market Tour
- Private Day Trip to Nam Ngum Dam
- Small-Group Half-Day Vientiane Tour
Other Activities in Vientiane
Massage/Sauna in Vientiane
The sensory delights available in Southeast Asia are arguably amongst the best in the world. The ancient art of aromatherapy and massage have become somewhat synonymous with Asia's tourism treats. Lao-style massage is a combination of Swedish oil and Thai acupressure, gentler than traditional Thai massage.
Choose from up-market luxury hotel spas to the more cost-effective streetside shop, where the massage experience is equally as invigorating. One thing is for sure; a good massage can be had cheap in this town.
Every Saturday local monks lead a walking and sitting meditation session at Wat Sok Pa Luang. Between 16:00 and 17:30, the sessions take place in pavilions and within the garden. Everyone is welcome, the session is, of course, free of charge and a translator is present for the after-period question time. Twice a year the Buddhist teacher holds intensive Vispassana meditation workshops at the monastery, open to all who wish to join.
Golf in Vientiane
Four Kilometers away from the bridge that links Thailand to Laos – the Friendship Bridge, The 18-hole Youth Garden Golf Course, was the first course to be established within the city and can be accessed by non members for about US$16 on weekdays and a little more on weekends, inclusive of the caddy fee. You can bring your own clubs, or rent a set. A quiet nine-hole course set in well-tended grounds, the KM 6 is considered the hub of expatriate golf activity in Vientiane. Members' tournaments feature regularly on the weekends; however you are guaranteed a quiet round on weekday afternoons.
Swimming is popular and easily accessible in Vientiane although you might want to think twice before jumping head first into the Mekong; currents are notoriously fast and dangerous. As you might imagine, the best swimming pools can be found in the better hotels and they usually allow outsiders in at charge.
The Settha Palace is a luxury boutique resort that has a swimming pool set in beautiful surroundings and charges US$7 a day. The kidney-shaped pool of the Lane Xang has a spring diving board and is well shaded by greenery and huge umbrellas. The Tai-Pan swimming pool and fitness centre is open to the public for US$6 a day.
The best value dip in Vientiane is the large public pool on Ky Houng Road (leading up between the National Museum and the Lao Plaza Hotel). Open daily from 08:00 to 19:00, it costs only US$1. The newly opened Nong Chan Water Park is great for both children and adults alike, with huge slides – a fairly new phenomenon to Laos – situated on Khouvieng Blvd, near the central bus station.
Weaving & Dying
For many years the country's ancient silk-weaving tradition was lost under the Communist regime. With the help of foreign influence and interest from the likes of American weaver Carol Cassidy who started Lao Textiles in 1990, the once elaborate and endangered art form is experiencing a renaissance. 'Spinning a yarn' in Laos is an inherent part of the culture; visitors can learn how to dye textiles using natural pigments and then weave them using a traditional loom. Weaving orientation is both an educational and practical exercise where visitors can learn about the process of weaving and improve their knowledge of various types.

Aestheticians use crystals to slough away superficial layers of dead skin, leaving faces smoother and fine lines less visible.

The glam experts at Beverly Hills Day Spa wield noncomedogenic Jane Iredale mineral cosmetics and Anakiri BioEnergetic skincare products during facial, waxing, nail, and body services. Nine facial treatments each tackle a separate skin condition, from a Natural Revelation peel-off mask that kidnaps impurities to a microdermabrasion procedure that repels fine lines and age spots. Teal walls wrap around the spa's lacquered manicure tables, where digits soak before donning new shades of polish, and two black pedicure thrones massage clients as they gaze upon the room's flat-screen TV or into the soul of the houseplant in the corner. Andean mineral mud hugs hides during the It's a Wrap body treatment, and skilled mitts manipulate pressure points in the feet and hands during the one-hour reflexology treatment.

I am using Comcast SMC Business gatweay for the time being as my old router bit the dust.
I am running SBS 2008 I am trying to ping the SBS 2008 server from home using the Comcast static ip 74.92.xxx.xxx but it will not connect. I can ping it locally no problem using Comcast ip as well as the ip assigned to the nic. I did al the port forwardings. Any help would be appreciated it.

It you changed routers and the old one allowed pings and the new one is failing - I'd look at the new routers. I am not familiar with either router so can't give you specifics, but it sounds like the new router is dropping the ping. Since ICMP (used by ping) is not a tcp or udp client, port forwardings are not directly relevant - you need to redirect ICMP echo request packets through the router which is presumably another configuration item.

If i am not wrong, I think you are pinging to the router and not to the server itself. If the router has the its wan interface address as 74.92.xxx.xxx then when you are pinging it hits the router's wan interface and not the server. Do check the port forwarding on the router and check whether the RDP is enabled on the server and the firewall is allowing the traffic.
The same issue happened to me once, where i was unable to ping to the router's wan interface (Fortigate 50 B) and i found out there is this setting"Restrict this Admin Login from Trusted Hosts Only" enabledon the Administrators section. Disabling it solved the issue..
And try to take rdp (MSTSC -> 74.xx.xxx.xxx) session after port forwarding 3389 to the server's ip address on your router.

Worried about what the future holds for you at work? You're not alone it seems, with half of the nation's workforce concerned about their jobs, according to a poll.
The survey of 1000 Australian workers, carried out by Melbourne University's Centre for Workplace Leadership, found 49 per cent of Australia's workers fretting about the future.
But the older workers were, the less worried they appeared, the survey found, with those aged over 55 less anxious about their jobs.
''Australians are deeply worried about their future at work,'' said the centre's director Peter Gahan.
''With technological advances and globalisation, the world of work is rapidly changing,'' Professor Gahan said. ''And it is making Australian workers uneasy.''
Despite the worry, the survey also showed 79 per cent of Australians were open to change in their workplace to improve productivity.
And better leadership and new technology were key areas workers said that could help them work more effectively.
Staff were willing to change and open to learning, Professor Gahan said, but wanted inspiring and motivating leadership, and better technology that made it easier to do their jobs.
One-fifth of workers reported their job was interfering with commitments outside of work, either all or most of the time.
Younger workers were more likely to say their job frequently interfered with their life, but it became less so with age.

Nice! These are really weird and cool spiders that attack their prey with venomized silky spit! Not unlike that scene in Jurassic Park, except not with a dinosaur.
Apparently there's only one genus of spitting spiders in the US, and this is it. Not sure how easy it is to tell apart the species, though.

Topic: Chemo and Dental Health
Can anyone clue me in on the effects chemo has on teeth, gums, etc. We checked with our dentist who suggested a possible high flouride toothpaste. However we've also been reading about cracked teeth, etc.

Can anyone clue me in on the effects chemo has on teeth, gums, etc. We checked with our dentist who suggested a possible high flouride toothpaste. However we've also been reading about cracked teeth, etc.
gtm2009.......There are several postings regarding dental health and I recall a product called Biotene. You can find some of the postings by using the search function either, "google" on top right hand side of page or, the search function in the middle top hand page. Good luck.
Best wishes coming your way,
I just read that Pam (Cherbourg) posted some more information regarding this product.
I am a dental hygienist so her is my 2 cents.
If you develop dry mouth there are a lot of options for products depending on the severity.
Biotene ( available at target) had a whole line of products that can help.
Another brand of moisturizing mouth rinse is Oasis, by the makers of sensodyne.
I like the 1st better because it has xylitol sweetener...this is proven to arrest the bacteria that causes decay also in gum or lozenges it can stimulate saliva flow which naturally helps.
brands: xylichew, spry are usually at healthfood stores
Icebreakers gum or trident w xylitol are good too.
Act anticavity rinse cant hurt either but not the "restoring" as it has alcohol which can be drying. Let me know if I can answer any more questions.
Had 9 Chemo sessions, then notice while eating, a back molar cracked. Really belive it was due to the Chemo but it only occured on one tooth. DDS stated they had heard of Chemo causing teeth to become brittle.
It is recommended to use topical flouride in trays at home during chemo treatments. Ask your dentist for a prescription. I'm a RDH and I have seen this many times.

Wo wish to call the attention of
the Democracy to the fact, that it ih
now tiiro to Hsove ia onr Conuty or
ganization. We notice several other
connties in the State are moving in
tbia matter and we most Bsaur&dly
oogiit to'havfl a meetin of thu Exec .
urive County Committee, snd a time
fixed for a County Convention, in or
Jer io give candidates for immiojition
time to announce tlieir names, some
three weeks at least, before die Coun
ty Convention meets. One source of
a great deal of coldness between can
dida'.cB alter a nomination, is the Tact
that nw names are sprung upon our
Conventions, that havu not been au
nouueed beforehand, this should not
be tlie case. Lo! the candidates bo
announced, and our D-ileg ite6 c&n
then bavi a chance to get an exprts
sieu from ihoir neighbors sb to who
their choice is, and every thing moves
off more harmoniualy. We hope
the Central Comnutiee will act at
ouce in this matter. We havo only
some eight' weeks now that we can
possibly give no" Ice' in, and we should
hava our candidates nominated at
least seven weeks before the day of
electkn. When we remember that the
Democracy alone can " ever restore

David Foster Wallace materials related to The Pale King now open for research
Materials related to David Foster Wallace's (1962–2008) posthumous novel The Pale King (April 2011) are now open for research at the Ransom Center.
The materials related to The Pale King were acquired as part of the Wallace archive in 2010 but were retained by publisher Little, Brown and Co. until after the book's publication and the subsequent publication of the paperback edition.
The Pale King materials fill six boxes and include handwritten and typescript drafts, outlines, character lists, research materials, and a set of notebooks containing reading notes, names, snippets of dialog, definitions, quotations, and clippings.
The materials have been organized according to a spreadsheet developed by Wallace's editor, Michael Pietsch. Pietsch, then-executive vice president and publisher of Little, Brown and Co., spent months reading through and organizing the material and found what he called "an astonishingly full novel, created with the superabundant originality and humor that were uniquely David's."

I'm a Gymnast and I Got an Injury in my Nose and Am Gonna Have a Surgery, So is 2 Weeks Enough to Go Back and Train Hard Again?
Doctor Answers 4
Intense training and physical activity after rhinoplasty
Return to work and social activities varies greatly based on the person. Patients tend to feel well within a few days after rhinoplasty although they have the splints in place, may have some swelling, and feel congested. There does not tend to be a lot of pain following rhinoplasty so most patients are able to do light activities like reading, typing, walking, etc. Typically, somewhere between 4-6 weeks, you can return to strenuous activities including intense exercise. 2 weeks is probably not enough time to recover prior to returning to your intense training routine. You should clarify with your surgeon what restrictions you have and when you can return to normal and strenuous activities.
Physical training after nasal surgery
It is acceptable to undergo physical activities 2 weeks after the reduction of the nasal fracture. And although there are usually no restrictions to activity after 2 weeks, it is important not to get the nose injured in the first couple of months after the procedure has been performed.
Rhinoplasty and activity
Dear ramizkunkar,
- I usually suggest 3 weeks before training hard after a full rhinoplasty
- It also depends on what kind of surgery you will have, if it is just resetting the nasal bones, your surgeon may OK you to start your activity sooner
Best regards,
Nima Shemirani

Returning to Physical Activity Following Nose Reconstruction
Sorry to hear about your situation. I happen to see quite a few professional and non-professional athletes on a regular basis. I think two weeks is a little early to resume hard training once again. I would possibly recommend you consider easing back into your training with gradual increases in intensity. Make sure you clarify these issues with your rhinoplasty surgeon.

Officials say up to 13 people were killed when men with rifles attacked several villages in volatile central Nigeria.
Plateau state police commissioner Abdurrahman Akanu said Friday that six people were killed, while a local government official cited 13 deaths.
Attackers opened fire as they fled the scene and a gunfight ensued. Special forces later arrested 29 suspects.
Special Task Force spokesman Capt. Charles Ekeocha said Friday that a policeman was among the attackers, and was arrested with arms and four live cartridges.
At least 1,000 people died around the city of Jos in 2010 in violence that cut across religious lines, but often found its root in political, economic and ethnic strife.

Choose from 42 Options
Click here for a list of available tours, which begin at 10 a.m. on select Saturdays and Sundays in March and April. Choose a 360-degree view in the upper dome, relax at the lower dome's booth-style tables with large picture windows, or peer out at Mount Hood and Mount Adams from the coach and parlor areas. The springtime excursion often rolls past idyllic vineyard landscapes and blossoming orchards, and a short stop at Parkdale lets passengers stretch their legs in the fresh mountain air before the return trip.
Each option also includes complimentary parking for one car (normally $5) and a 15% discount in the gift shop. Passengers should arrive at least 20 minutes prior to departure.
Mount Hood Railroad
Taking a scenic tour aboard Mount Hood Railroad is like stepping back in time. You can almost smell the freshly picked fruit and milled wood that grows just beyond the train's windows as it rolls through the Hood River Valley—products that have been carried along the 22-mile track since the Oregon Lumber Company built the short-line railroad in 1906.
While aboard, Mount Hood and Mount Adams provide picturesque backdrops. According to The Railroad Nation, the railroad's newly-renovated 1955 Pullman club car combines historic nostalgia with modern amenities. Passengers are also welcome to taste some regional flavors from freshly-prepared meals sourced from local ingredients made right on the train.

When you win the Masters everyone wants to be your friend. So sometimes you have to stick with the people who knew you when.
For Bubba Watson those people include Justin Bieber and Samuel L. Jackson.

"Justin Bieber is the only person I talked to on the phone that night after I won," Watson said. "He called me and I talked to him on the phone and he and Selena (Gomez) were congratulating me, and it was a big honor that they would both call me and talk to me."

|Wildcats lose opener at Wills Point Tournament
|Joseph Elerson | News-Telegram Sports Writer
Dec. 8, 2006 - WILLS POINT - With a late start in the opening round of the Wills Point Kiwanis Tournament, the Sulphur Springs Wildcats lost their opening round game against the Trinity Christian-Addison Trojans 59-48 to fall into the consolation bracket today.
"I don't think anything went right for us and we just started off bad," said SSHS coach Rusty Harden. "My kids played hard tonight, and I am not ashamed of them."
The Wildcats were scheduled to face Forney at 12:45 p.m. today in the consolation round. With a win, the Wildcats will play at 11:30 a.m. Saturday; if the Wildcats lose today, they will play at 2 p.m. tomorrow.
Senior Bradley Washington led the Wildcats in scoring with 14 points while pulling down nine rebounds and one assist. Teammate Drew Biggerstaff had 13 points, three assists and two rebounds.
SSHS (8-2) fell behind 9-0 to start the game as TCA had four points from Dane Wamstab - who finished with 11 points, seven boards, two steals, one assist and three blocks.
The Wildcats got on the board with 4:37 remaining in the first quarter as Ladarius Harrison nailed a jumper to cut the deficit to 9-2.
Sulphur Springs cut the Trojans' lead to seven at the half with back-to-back 3-pointers from Biggerstaff and Washington to go into the locker room down 33-26.
"They (TCA) were just making everything that they put up and they shot unbelievably in the first half," Harden said. "I think the second quarter we got back in it and cut the lead down to seven and then in the third we held the lead. When the game is close you have to execute and get things done, but we didn't do that."
Trinity Christian shot 14-of-31 (45.2 percent) in the first half compared to 10-of-22 (45.4 percent) for the Wildcats.
In the second half, the Wildcats continue to fight from behind and cut the Trojans lead to three, 41-38, heading into the final quarter.
With 5:32 remaining in the third quarter, Biggerstaff drained a 3-pointer off an assist from Harrison for the 37-33 deficit before TCA extended the lead back to eight points, 41-33, on baskets from Wamstab and Tyler Janick.
The Wildcats could not find their offense in the fourth quarter as they were held scoreless for three minutes while Trinity Christian went on a 8-0 run for a 59-44 lead.
Washington scored the final two buckets with under 30 seconds remaining for the 59-48 deficit.
The Wildcats finished with 20 turnovers, and Harden said that statistic hurt them.
"You can't beat yourself with turnovers," the coach said. "We thought when we broke their press that we had to come down here and chunk something up and that hurt us."
Note: Following the Wills Point tournament, the Wildcats will have their first home game of the season against Nevada Community on Dec. 15. The tip-off for the varsity is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Warm weather to blanket central and eastern USA
Forget spring fever, try summer fever. For much of the country, the unusual warmth will keep on rolling this week.
On the heels of the nation's fourth-warmest winter on record, high temperatures this week will soar to as much as 35 degrees above average, and dozens if not hundreds of weather records will be likely set from the Midwest to the Northeast. "For most of the central and eastern USA, temperatures will be more typical of May than March," said Weather Channel meteorologist Mark Ressler.
For example, the forecast high on Wednesday in Chicago is 78 degrees, which would set a record in a city where weather records go back nearly to the Civil War.
STORY: Warm winter helped fuel tornado outbreak
STORY: Snow was a no-show during weak, warm winter
STORY: Warm weather breeds early bug bonanza
For flowers and plants, Ressler said, "the warmth will accelerate spring like gangbusters."
The warmth has already begun in some spots: Boston reached the low 70s Monday, topping the previous record of 69 degrees set in 1902, according to Weather Channel meteorologist Chris Dolce. It was a similar story in New York City, where temperatures peaked at 71 degrees, tying a record that had stood since 1890, Dolce said.
Record-high temperature records were also broken or tied Monday in Bridgeport, Conn.; Burlington, Vt.; Buffalo; and Newark.
Weekend temperatures reached record levels in the central USA: One of the most unusual records was set in Marquette, Mich., which reached 63 degrees even with 2 feet of snow still on the ground Sunday, AccuWeather's Dan DePodwin said. The old record was 55, set in 1995.
Many cities in the Dakotas also enjoyed record warmth over the weekend, as temperatures soared into the upper 50s, 60s and even 70s.
The warmth is caused by a "major ridge of high pressure that's developing over the central and eastern part of the country," Ressler said. The ridge is keeping the jet stream to the north in Canada, preventing cold air from invading the USA.
The warmth "could persist for almost the next two weeks," Ressler said. Some isolated showers and thunderstorms could dampen parts of the country this week, but no widespread heavy rain is expected, he said. The threat for severe weather and tornadoes is also minimal.
The two spots that will stay cool this week: the Pacific Northwest and northern New England.
The warmth is having an effect from the Rockies to the East Coast:
•There's a chance for flooding in Wyoming because of the warm weather that's expected to break up icy rivers. Ice chunks that break free from rivers could cause flooding if they get jammed in bends.
•Rangers turned away visitors Sunday at a park in Columbus, Ohio, as temperatures in the high 60s sent attendance numbers soaring.

|Pascal and My Son's iPod
|Written by Peter J. Leithart
|Thursday, 14 January 2010 09:45
Why do I bristle when my son sits in the back seat of the car, white wires hanging from his ears, flipping through what must be a million songs downloaded onto his iPod? No doubt, it's the threat of the new. I rarely carry a cell phone, and now I hear tell of compact computers that will use holographic keyboards.
Stodgy as I certainly am, I don't think that's all there is to it. It's white, but its purity is, I suspect, only apparent. There's something deeper going on, some more fundamental worry about those earplugs, those wires, that uncannily, seductively thin wafer of entertainment.
For starters, I feel that the iPod is an assault on family culture. A culture is a pattern of life and habit passed from one generation to another; a culture is inherently authoritative, imposed from without. I want my kids to pick up the passions, the likes and dislikes, the habits and the ways of being that make the Leitharts something more than a random collection of individuals and something different from the Larsons or the Lawyers down the road.
But what we call culture is no longer authoritative, and the iPod and its friends are among the culprits. In an age of iPods, satellite television, XM radio, Napster, and CinemaNow; in a time where you can choose to follow any of a thousand different religions, or none; in our epoch of pop culture, when we can always find something suitable to our tastes – culture loses its traditional authority.
Pop culture does shape our conduct, but more importantly, by our choices, each of us creates his own culture more or less ex nihilo. I can construct my own highbrow culture with my Stravinsky CDs and my art house DVD collection, while in the next room my children can form their own culture listening to country music and watching Blue Collar Comedy.
As Todd Gitlin has pointed out, the portability of new technologies realizes the modern aspiration to autonomy in a way that it has never been realized before. With all the latest technology strapped on, we're good to go. Of course, each of these technologies is also a connection, but it's a connection we turn on and off at will.
I can put my cell phone on silent mode, and punch the off button on my Palm Pilot or my iPod. Those white ear plugs are, it turns out, removable. I am only as connected as I want to be.
Nomadicity of this sort is not conducive to culture, because nomadic popular culture lodges authority in only one place – in me.
This may still seem self-serving and stodgy: I'm peeved by the iPod because it means my son won't turn out like me. But it's not just a matter of family culture and losing whatever ability I have to shape my son's tastes and character. I bristle and I worry, because I am worried about his soul.
Partly, of course, because of what he might be listening to. A soul tuned to U2 and Pearl Jam and whomever will not, I dare say, be as resonant as a soul tuned to Bach and Mozart. Stodgy that may be, but I'll take my stand.
Bouncy or grinding rhythms, silly or smarmy lyrics – that's only a small part of it. It's the sheer fact of listening, and listening in such alienation, that rankles. Pascal, with his unparalleled attention to the human capacity for diversion, helps give expression to my worry. To Pascal, the glory and the misery of man are both evident in our obsession with diversion.
First the glory: We all have some dim knowledge that we are made, as Augustine said, for rest in God. So we have an instinct for repose. At the same time, our misery is that we seek only "agitation" in order to forget our misery, which, in the long run, only multiplies our misery. Double-minded at the core, we blindly pursue a "confused project," striving for "repose by agitation" and live in the expectation that "the satisfactions [we] don't have will come, if, by surmounting some difficulties that [we] envisage, [we] can open the door to peace."
This is the self-defeating, internally contradictory motivation behind a great swath of human action. Games, seductions, sports, even war and diplomacy are sought, but not because they provide happiness. We don't want them to give us settled happiness. Rather than "looking for this soft, peaceful existence which allows us to think about our unfortunate condition," we fill our minds and our hours with danger, busyness, bustle, whatever we can find to "distract and amuse us."
As Matthew Maguire has written, for Pascal "diversion must agitate toward repose; yet repose must never still diversion's agitation. Imagination must not lose its capacity to agitate desire because it despairs of reaching its self-created goals. The imagination must find a kind of repose in agitation, and agitation in repose." Distraction screens us from the hard realities of our condition at bay. Distraction induces a pleasant forgetfulness that keeps us ignorant of our misery. Distraction above all enables us to forget our mortality: As Pascal says, "diversion deceives us, amuses us, and makes us arrive insensibly at death."
"Insensibly" is the key word here, for Pascal wants to urge us to prepare ourselves for death, so that it doesn't take us unawares. To the extent that the iPod diverts, to that extent it distracts from the real business of life, which, however defined, must include a good death. I worry the iPod will keep my son distracted to the edge of his grave.
Pascal's analysis of diversion is part of an apology for the life of faith. Diversion is a temptation that must be renounced in favor of a starkly ascetic pursuit of peace in God. But here Pascal's own legacy is mixed, for what he names diversion is quite the effective substitute for piety.
Pascal is one of the first to recognize that distraction works, and Pascal has a hard time convincing the reader, especially the reader without a predisposition to faith, that his path is the better. Pascal is too honest an observer of human life to pretend, as many Christians do today, that diversion always ends up as a dry dusty taste in the mouth.
Pascal takes a wrong turn, I think, by over-playing the ascetic dimension of the Christian life. When the Preacher meditates on death and the vapourousness of it all in Ecclesiastes, he turns Epicurean rather than Stoic: Eat, drink and rejoice now, because you don't have much time to get it done. Pascal would have been more convincing had he been slightly less Augustinian, and slightly more Solomonic.
But there's my son, still sitting behind me, now listening to a movie sound track or Johnny Cash. What do I tell him? Sometimes, I tell him to unplug himself and read, play with his little sisters, have a conversation. Sometimes, frequently, the iPod must be put to the side to engage in common activities that cultivate the family, and the church, culture. Sometimes, though, I might be able to turn the iPod into a memento mori: Next year, your iPod is going to be outdated, all your friends will have better ones, and you'll be hankering for something new. Your iPod is vapor, vapor of vapors, most vaporous vapor. Just like everything else. Just like you.
Therefore: Eat, drink, and enjoy your music.

7 months post op, what exact procedure (and its cost) would be needed to fix my nose tip? (photos)
Here is a picture of my nose after I had surgery. I liked it very much: injury caused me to have another surgery. Bad result. I wanted it fixed but now I hate it, the tip looks way worse than first surgery. What could be done for me to get a result more like the first surgery specifically? Elevation, reduced columella? Cost? And is there a non-surgical yet permanent filler to fill an indentation of one side of my bridge also? I'm about 7 months post op. I know it's not a year but it's awful.

revision rhinoplasty candidate for columellar show and crooked nose
{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
{{ voteCount >= 0 ? '+' + (voteCount + 1) : (voteCount + 1) }}
Its best to wait at least a year before undergoing a revision rhinoplasty procedure to ensure full healing has taken place before performing another rhinoplasty. When there is excess columellar show, a columellar- plasty is performed. This involves trimming back prominent cartilage from the caudal septum as well as trimming back excess skin on the inside of the columella. The indentation which gives the appearance of a crooked nose is can be repaired with a cartilage graft harvested from inside the nose to help with the indented upper lateral cartilage area. This is called a spreader graft. For many examples of crooked nose repair and reducing the columellar show, please see the link below

WILLOUGHBY, Ohio (AP) -- A police officer responding to an emergency call has died after his cruiser collided with a pickup truck and smashed into a tree, authorities said Saturday.
Patrolman Jason Gresko was on his way to provide backup for a fellow officer in northeastern Ohio on Friday night when the crash occurred, police said at a news conference. A preliminary investigation indicates that the pickup truck turned in front of Gresko's cruiser in Willoughby, Willoughby police Chief Jack Beckwith said.
The 32-year-old Gresko was a part-time Willoughby police officer and a full-time officer with Cleveland Clinic police. He's the first Willoughby officer to die in the line of duty in more than a half-century.
"He made us all better people," Cleveland Clinic Police Chief David Easthon said. "We're truly going to miss him."
Shirley Kraft said Gresko's car struck a tree in her front yard.
"This tree took about half of the car off, on the left-hand side. And spun it out," Kraft told WJW-TV.
She said she came to the officer's aid, but he wasn't breathing.
"He wasn't responding to the cops' commands, talk. We tried to talk to him, he wouldn't talk," Kraft told the station.
Police photos show the driver's side of Gresko's cruiser ripped open and mangled. The truck had little damage, and no one inside was hurt.
Mourners set up a memorial at the tree Saturday, adorning it with flowers and American flags in Gresko's honor.
Gresko was named Willoughby Special Officer of the Year in 2009, Easthon said. He had been with the Willoughby Police Department since 2003 and had worked six years for the Cleveland Clinic.
Gresko was married with a 2-year-old daughter.

German industrial competitiveness is set take a big hit at the expense of the country's green energy ambitions, according to a new draft law. Reuters reports:
In an amended draft law seen by Reuters, the government proposed that German industrial companies producing their own electricity in new renewable energy or combined heat-power plants would pay a higher surcharge than previously planned.
Here's how this came about: As part of its energiewende, Berlin promised solar and wind energy producers long-term, above-market rates (called feed-in tariffs) for their electricity as a way to help boost the country's fledgling renewables industry. The plan worked, and some will tell you that the solar and wind energy industries are thriving in today's Germany. But these energy sources, green though they might be, are terribly expensive, and feed-in tariffs are the only reason they're finding a foothold in the German market. The costs of these feed-in tariffs have been passed on to consumers, both households and industry alike, in the form of green energy surcharges—making German electricity prices some of the highest in Europe.
Berlin attempted to shield energy-intensive German industry from these surcharges by exempting some of its biggest electricity consumers, but in doing so fell afoul of the EU's competition laws, as Reuters explains:
Germany had until Tuesday to bring its green energy reforms into line with the bloc's competition laws, including requirements to make heavy industry pay a surcharge for power they produce at their own plants.
If the revised law passes, and the EU is satisfied that Germany isn't acting in a protectionist manner, then many of these industries can apply to the bloc for further exemptions from the surcharges. But if you're a German business that relies on cheap electricity for your bottom line, this whole fiasco has to be deeply unsettling. We've already seen some German firms start boosting investments abroad—including in the United States, which is flush with cheap shale gas—and if Berlin continues to follow this ill-conceived green energy strategy, you can expect many more to follow suit.

"All I can say is the American people have spoken," said Kenneth Langone, the founder of Home Depot and one of Mr Romney's top fund-raisers, briskly plucking off his hat and settling into a couch.
The biggest single donor in political history, the casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson, mingled with other Romney backers at a post-election breakfast, fresh off a large gamble gone bad. Of the eight candidates he supported with tens of millions of dollars in contributions to "super PACs" (political action committees), none were victorious.
And as calls came in the day after the election from some of the donors who had poured more than $US300 million into the pair of big-spending outside groups founded in part by
The most expensive election in American history drew to a close this week with a price tag estimated at more than $US6 billion, propelled by legal and regulatory decisions that allowed wealthy donors to pour record amounts of cash into races around the country.
But while outside spending affected the election in innumerable ways – reshaping the Republican presidential nominating contest, clogging the airwaves with unprecedented amounts of negative advertising and shoring up embattled Republican incumbents in the House – the prizes most sought by the emerging class of megadonors remained outside their grasp. President
The election's most lavishly self-financed candidate fared no better. Linda McMahon, a Connecticut Republican who is a former professional wrestling executive, spent close to $US100 million – nearly all of it her own money – on two races for the Senate, conceding defeat on Tuesday for the second time in three years.
"Money is a necessary condition for electoral success," said Bob Biersack, a senior fellow at the Centre for Responsive Politics, which tracks campaign spending. "But it's not sufficient, and it's never been."
Even by the flush standards of a campaign in which the two presidential candidates raised $US1 billion each, the scale of outside spending was staggering: more than $US1 billion, about triple the amount in 2010.
Mr Obama faced at least $US386 million in negative advertising from super PACs and other outside spenders, more than double what the groups supporting him spent on the airwaves. Outside groups spent more than $US37 million in Virginia's Senate race and $US30 million in Ohio's, a majority to aid the Republican candidates.
The bulk of that outside money came from a relatively small group of wealthy donors, unleashed by the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, which allowed unlimited contributions to super PACs. Harold Simmons, a Texas industrialist, gave $US26.9 million to super PACs backing Mr Romney and Republican candidates for the Senate. Joe Ricketts, the owner of the Chicago Cubs, spent close to $US13 million to bankroll a super PAC attacking Mr Obama over federal spending.
Bob Perry, a Texas homebuilder, poured more than $US21 million into super PACs active in the presidential race and the Senate battles in Florida and Virginia, where Democrats narrowly prevailed. A donor network marshalled by Charles and David Koch, the billionaire industrialists and conservative philanthropists, reportedly sought to raise $US400 million for tax-exempt groups that are not required to disclose spending.
Flush with cash, Republican-leaning groups outspent Democratic ones by an even greater margin than in 2010. But rather than produce a major partisan imbalance, the money merely evened the playing field in many races.

Maltese Dogs
Beloved companions to princes and princesses for well over 2,000 years, Maltese know how to behave: They are gentle, loving, obedient and well-mannered creatures that love attention and affection and know how to return to favor. However, Maltese have a fearless energy that makes them slightly more of a handful than your typical, docile lapdog. They love to run around in the yard, play chase and hop around in mud puddles. But, when playtime is over, they are superb cuddlers.

What They Are Like to Live With
Maltese are perfect for city-dwellers. They are quiet, gentle, polite and happy with daily 20-30 minute walks. In fact, some Maltese even prefer small spaces (and small yards) to large ones. Great with children, especially older ones, Maltese are confident around other dogs without being overconfident—their fearlessness tends to make them self-assured rather than defensive.
Things You Should Know
Though a Maltese looks like a pet that needs pampering, they are actually quite sturdy and secure. Besides, too much pampering could make them irritable. Give them lots of love and attention and they will always respond in kind.
Maltese get along famously with children, but make sure children respect their space and play with them properly. Known for their good manners, Maltese demand a certain amount of respect and good treatment.
As you can tell by looking at them, Maltese need daily grooming. Their coat is silky and very soft, so brush with care. They do not shed too much, making them a good choice for allergy sufferers. Also remember to clean their eyes, ears and beards regularly.
Maltese can live as long as 18 years. Generally healthy, they can suffer from dental problems. Dog toys and biscuits that promote dental health can help keep their teeth strong and clean.
Maltese History
One of the world's oldest breeds, Maltese have been beloved companions for nearly 3,000 years. Roman poets wrote about them and Greeks had special tombs built for them. For centuries they have pranced around palaces, frolicked in royal gardens and strolled through stately homes. Maltese made their American debut in Westminster's first show in 1877. One year later the AKC registered the breed. To this day, they remain a popular show dog and pet.
The Look of a Maltese
Maltese are toy-sized dogs covered in long, silky white (or cream-colored) hair. They have medium-sized heads with rounded skulls, hanging ears, tapered muzzles and dark noses and eyes. Maltese carry their heads high on their long necks, and their plumed tails carry over their backs. This gives them a distinguished, aristocratic look. Since their hair hangs so low and their gait is so smooth, Maltese seem to float across the floor.
Talk About Malteses
Amazing therapy dog
I am a young person with special needs and mental health issues, and I have a Maltese as a therapy and companion dog. He is very loyal and caring and watches over me. He is the very best thing that ever happened for me.
~Mile C., owner of a Maltese
A very perceptive breed
I have a Maltese. I love this breed because they are adorable, small and so much like a human...no, wait, they are actually better than a human. They seem to know what you want and are thinking before you actually know yourself. They are very perceptive to your feelings.
I can say that he allows me to live with him. He greets me at the door with a wagging tail and can't wait to sit on my lap and lick my face. He only asks that I feed and walk him and at night he likes to cuddle on the couch and fall asleep in the crook of my knee. One thing to know is that they need to be groomed every 6 to 8 weeks if you want to have them keep that cute little Maltese style.
I would tell anyone to definitely get a Maltese. They are dedicated, smart, great with kids and they don't shed. I would positively get another Maltese - they are the best.

A Maltese is a must!
My little Maltese, Sweet Pea, is the most wonderful dog in the world. He is extremely intelligent, affectionate, loving and kind. I consider him perfect. HE is my owner and I love him with all of my heart. He has a dog stroller and he sleeps in a play pen, to keep him off the floor and away from drafts. In the evening, I pick him up and rock him while we watch TV. He is a big fan of Animal Planet and watches it with great intensity. Everyone who meets him just loves him. I would not have any other breed of dog. Love them and they will love you back 10 times more!

A sweet therapy dog
I got a Maltese dog for my fourth birthday. We named him Tino, after Totino's pizza! I agree with the therapy dog thing -- he was a super therapy dog.
I am visually impaired and I was teased and kind of lonely while my Mom traveled for work. Tino was always there. He'd be waiting on the steps for me almost every day when I got home from school. My Mom says he'd be there a half-hour before I got home. He loved car rides. When my mom jingled the keys, he'd be right there! My mom was even closer to him than I was.
Unfortunately he passed away when I was 11. That was 28 years ago, but I still miss him and can't wait to see him again!
