Lord, keep Your arm around my shoulder and Your hand over my mouth.
-- The Bob Ross prayer
I drove over to Atlanta last week to surprise my mother. I pulled up in the driveway, told her to get in the car so I could take her to lunch.
"Oh, I don't want to go," she said. "Let me fix you something."
"No, really, Mama, I'm here to do something for you."
"Well," she said shrewdly, mulling the moment, "would you mind washing my car? ... Vacuum it out, too. I have trouble with that."
So, that's what I did. And I am again reminded of the advice that there are people of a certain age one should not mess with.
YOUR MAIL: Old friends Eleanor and Steve Blackmon , of Washington, Ga., send a postcard from Williamsburg and write: "We were here 63 years ago on our honeymoon. My! How it has changed. It is beautiful and 14 first cousins are here."
And my old baseball friends Ernie and Martha Odom , of Evans, send a card from their tour of Maine., where "the weather is really nice -- lows in the 40s and highs in the 50s."
SHOP WONDERS: Working on house fix-ups this time of year? Trying to get everything ready for winter? Well, it's a time many of us head to the workshop, and what better time to review these tools, as shared by James Hall .
Pliers: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.
Vise-Grip: Used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads.
Phillips screwdriver: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads.
Straight screwdriver: To open paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into nonremovable screws and butchering your palms.
Hose cutter: A tool used to make hoses too short.
Hammer: Originally employed as a weapon of war, nowadays is used as a divining rod to find the most expensive parts next to what we are trying to hit.
COOKING THE BOOKS: One of my oldest friends, Joe Dabney , of Atlanta, will be signing his latest cookbook from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday at Simply Kitchen in Surrey Center.
His latest, The Food, Folklore and Art of Lowcountry Cooking , follows his earlier success from Smokehouse Ham, Spoon Bread and Scuppernong Wine , which won national awards.
TODAY'S JOKE: Here's another one from Bob Ross :
A well-worn dollar bill and a similarly distressed $20 bill arrived at a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired. As they moved along the belt to be burned, the $20 reminisced about his travels all over the country.
"I've had a pretty good life," he proclaimed. "Why I've been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City, the finest restaurants in New York, performances on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean."
"Wow!" said the dollar bill. "You've had an exciting life!"
"So tell me," says the $20, "where have you been throughout your lifetime?"
The dollar bill replies, "Oh, I've been to the Methodist Church, the Baptist Church , the Lutheran Church."
The $20 interrupts, "What's a church?"

Brian Cashman met with Derek Jeter's agent yesterday [1]. A source told me that a deal will be worked out soon. A second source then informed me that the first source doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, and a third source informed me that the first two sources were figments of my imagination. Right.
The Winter Meetings are next week. My hunch is that by the time they are finished, Mariano Rivera, Derek Jeter and Cliff Lee will sign with the Yanks. That's a hunch, not coming from a source.

Nearly done my degree and getting ready to step out into the real world. I'm a relaxed guy that spends a lot more time at home than going out. In my free time you can find me having a drink/dinner with close friends, playing video games, or watching some anime. I'm truly passionate about geology and love talking about my rock collection. I've done a good amount of world travelling and don't plan to stop. Global issues are fun to discuss but I find politics far too stodgy. I tend to think of myself as a black and white romantic. If the spark is there I'm head over heels, if it isn't, I'll know right away.
I'm just the boy next door trying to make his way in the world. If that's someone you wouldn't mind meeting then I might the guy for you.

Chicken Marsala
Recipe by Kayne
I have used chicken breasts, and leg quarters, both come out delicious!
Top Review by Lainey39
I've never had a tomato-based chicken marsala before, but I'm glad I did. This was very tasty and everyone cleaned their plates! I used very thin chicken breasts and two cans of tomato sauce in place of the whole tomatoes (my son doesn't like chunks of tomato in his sauce) and that worked well. I added 3 cloves of garlic (note: the ingredients does not list the amount of garlic) but next time I may add 4 because we really like garlic. It was delish as Racheal Ray would say!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 5 chicken breasts
- 59.14 ml all-purpose flour
- 2.46 ml salt
- 1.23 ml pepper
- 29.58 ml vegetable oil
- 473.18 ml sliced mushrooms
- 411.06 g can whole tomatoes
- 226.79 g can tomato sauce
- 78.07 ml marsala wine
- 2.46 ml dried basil
- 453.59 g cooked linguine
Directions See How It's Made
- In large plastic food bag combine chicken, flour, salt and pepper. Shake and coat chicken thoroughly.
- In large skillet brown chicken in oil, 5 mins per side, remove. Set aside, no need to keep warm.
- In same skillet, cook & stir mushrooms and garlic 2-3 minutes, or until garlic is cooked to preferred doneness.
- Stir in tomatoes (drained and chopped), tomatoe sauce, wine and basil.
- Simmer 1 - 2 minutes.
- Return chicken to skillet, Spoon sauce over it, so that it is fully 'sauced' over.
- Cover, simmer for at least 5 minutes Turn chicken once during cooking. More if preferred.
- Serve hot over linquine or other pasta of choice.


text: I received the message that the iPod touch is synced with another iTunes library. If I choose to erase and sync with the existing library, will this include the apps (of which "sync" is unselected)? I really only need to add a few more songs and albums to my iPod touch that were purchased with my iPhone. If it replaces the entire music library with the most updated one, its no big deal; same desired results. But I'm afraid of losing my apps, which are outdated (I enjoy playing for retro's sake) and some even discontinued. I have copied all the files from my old computer on to a portable drive, which is hooked up to this computer. So if that's the best way to go, where can I copy the files so they'd be "visible" to the iPod? Thanks! Edit: I'm backing up my iPod. Maybe then I can sync the music file after it's "established a home" on my new computer. I'll keep you updated (though 64gb might take a while)... Edit: never mind. It worked. You can delete this thread. Sorry.

A WIRRAL soap star-turned-businesswoman has been crowned young enterpreneur of the year.
Kelly-Marie Stuart, who played Hayley Ramsey in Channel Four drama Hollyoaks, opened a designer children's clothing boutique in the Cherry Tree Centre, Liscard, eight months ago.
The disabled actress, who runs the business with her mum, picked up her Downton In Business Award during a glittering ceremony at the Hilton Hotel in Liverpool this week.
She told the Globe: "It was a huge achievement to have been nominated for the award. I never thought I'd actually win, so, it was fantastic to win.
"I think it shows that anyone can make the jump from one business to another and make a success of what they choose to do.
"I live in Liverpool, but was living in Wallasey at the time I drew up the business plan for the shop."
Kelly-Marie was diagnosed with Guillain–Barré Syndrome, a condtion affecting the spine nine years ago.
She has been an actress since childhood, taking part in beauty pageants and is a former Miss Liverpool and Miss Commonwealth Liverpool. She also competed in a Miss Great Britain final.
She made her first on-screen appearance in Hollyoaks in 2009 as the sister of already established character Zak Ramsey.
Hayley was the first prominent disabled character in Hollyoaks, and also had Guillain–Barré syndrome.
Kelly-Marie's real-life pregnancy was written into the show and that Hayley would become pregnant.
Her final on-screen appearance a year later, but she did not return to the show after giving birth to daughter .
She now campaigns to raise awareness for disabled parents and is currently filming a documentary about disabled parents for BBC Three.

I'm definitely one of those guys who enjoys the look of a man in Under Armour. It just seems so sporty and regardless of size – it tends to just bring out the best "assets", despite the discomfort level that form-fitting clothing would often bring. Though in defense of the spandex angle, I'll still maintain that there is a part of me which would totally fuck the Tron-Guy given the opportunity as well… and thankfully I'm not a size queen, because his costume totally leaves nothing to the imagination (if you have no idea who I'm talking about – make a verb out of the word "google"). It really comes down to the material that these things are made out of, though. Spandex has always struck me as being shiny and when stretched to as great an extent as a man of my taste WOULD stretch it – it tends to become more transparent. It's frightening that I WOULDN'T find that appealing. Never –the-less, I think that in the end it all rolls back to that superhero fantasy, doesn't it? Maintaining a man in tights ability to still look like a man? Well, that says something about your product. So, Under Armour creators: I salute you!
In other news, the weekend is rushing at me, and only a couple days of work sit between me and the overwhelming goal of freedom! For some ridiculous reason, though – I'm working for 3 hours on Saturday, prior to the MCB car wash. I guess that means it's just going to be a race to get the camera and get my ass over there… though if the forecast holds true, I don't think bears in speedos like lightning, so all may be for naught.
And speaking of distractions – firemen are apparently now at the top of my list of men in uniform who need a proper servicing… Thanks to Kevin for repeatedly sending me pictures of a certain Fire Captain from a city nearby whose hose I would gladly… Errr… Okay – yeah, I don't really need to describe what I want to do with this gent, but I will fully admit that my first thought was "how many years would I be locked up for the arson that would make that man come a'runnin"? And apparently, it would have to be sizable indeed. Sadly, my moral compass disallows people having to die so that I can hook up, so for now: the city is safe. Really, though – that mustache is just begging to be ridden.
And now, to put out the fire in my pants…
Discussion (12) ¬
I honestly have to disagree with how you feel about underarmor. I don't care to see men in that to be honest, I prefer to see the underarmor on the floor and the chubby guy on the bed waiting for pleasing, dick waving in the air. Now that's my story on it. It's much better when it's not being worn and the chub being naked than it is to have the stuff actually on the chub!
I prefer my men big, really big and naked.
Under Armour was invented a decade after I developed my sexual tastes, and when I started buying jocks again a few years back, I was really disappointed that the only ones the local sporting goods stores sold were UA. They're thick and they don't develop that see-thru quality normal jocks get as they wear out. Plain black or white jockstraps — Safe-T-Gard, Bike, etc. — are pretty much the only sports underwear I want to see on a guy. Otherwise, I'm with Glenn.
oh great! so now, I'm going to be laughing hysterically every time i see one of the guys wear UA at practice…. thanks, honey! now i have something new to start giggling at….
I have to agree with Glenn on this one.
Is it Ok if I've post your work to my group Face book page Southern Bears?
I wonder if you shrink-wrap the wang meat, does it stay fresher? I love that line.
And I fall between Glenn and Raindog, when I'm giving a footrub and want to move up to bigger and better things I don't want to have to ruin the moment of the fantasy by having to peel the man like a banana… Yes phallic fruit pun intended. With a regular jock it covers and yet shows like raindog mentioned. And when they guy turns around you have full access. Some classics just can't be beat in my opinion.
Keep up the great work! Hugz 'n Tugz
Wasn't expecting so many to most ways agree with me on this subject, but still, I stand by it. I can handle a jock strap through, very easy to slip the chub's man meat out and just start having my way with him.
If the chub is completely naked I can give him a full body tongue bath without having to undo the wrapper.
I am all about the underarmour. (obviously.)
Woof hot bear! in both photos
Bastard… Now I want some chocolate.

The global combined and ocean surface temperature of 58.67 F (14.75 C) tied with 1998 as the hottest January- September stretch, with a value of 1.17 F (o.65 C) above the 20th-century average, according to NOAA.
Los Angeles set a new "all-time maximum temperature" on Sept. 27 when temperatures reached to 113 F (45 C) and surpassed the previous record of 112 F (44.4 C) set in June 1990, NOAA's National Weather Service reported.
The data from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center are based on records that date to 1880.

Detailed Description:
The purpose of this research study is to learn whether specific types of brain imaging and psychological testing can predict how much benefit patients with depression will receive from a well-studied psychotherapy for depression, called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and how the brain imaging and psychological tests change with treatment. We will also be comparing brain scans from this study between individuals suffering from depression and volunteers without depression.
This study offers 14 sessions of one-on-one cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) over twelve weeks, administered by an experienced doctoral-level psychologist or psychiatrist.

Depressed individuals who enroll in this study will receive 14 sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy provided by an experienced psychiatrist or psychologist over 12 weeks (twice-a-week for the first two weeks, and weekly after that).
Behavioral: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
14 sessions of individual psychotherapy (cognitive behavioral therapy) for depression over 12 weeks
Detailed Description:
Major depressive disorder (MDD) affects 13.1 - 14.2 million American adults annually. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured psychotherapy that has been demonstrated in multiple studies to be an effective treatment for MDD. Not all patients achieve a full remission from MDD with CBT, however. Mental health clinicians currently lack clinical or biological markers that can reliably predict treatment outcome with CBT for MDD. Developing such markers could greatly improve clinical outcomes, and could facilitate matching of patients to treatments that are likely to help them. A recent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study in healthy individuals examined the neural correlates of cognitive strategies to regulate emotional responses to emotional stimuli. The emotional regulation techniques used in this fMRI study map closely onto the cognitive restructuring techniques that are a primary tool used in CBT for MDD. There is evidence that patients with depression may benefit most from a psychotherapy that draws on their existing strengths. We therefore propose to examine the neural representations of emotion regulation as a predictor of treatment outcome with CBT for MDD. We will recruit subjects with MDD in a current major depressive episode. Research participants will complete baseline psychological and biological assessments, including MRI and functional MRI imaging. Following scanning, subjects will receive 14 sessions of individual CBT for depression over 12 weeks, administered by an experienced psychiatrist or psychologist. Baseline assessments will be examined as predictors of treatment outcome with CBT for depression.

Wed. September 23, 2009 | Bryan Burns
Countryside senior outside hitter Davionna DiSalvatore told the Times on Tuesday that she orally committed to play volleyball at Ohio State.
DiSalvatore traveled to Columbus in July and committed to the Buckeyes before the end of her visit. She was receiving interest from USF and Miami, but once Ohio State offered, she made her decision almost immediately.
"I really wanted to go to Ohio State," DiSalvatore said. "I wanted to go there from the beginning."
DiSalvatore was a Times first team all county selection last season and was named to the Pinellas County Athletic Conference North County first team.
"The coaches (at Ohio State) are really nice and the girls are nice and I really like the program," she said. "It's Division I, and I really wanted to go to the Big-10 or the Pac-10."
DiSalvatore's sister GiOnna plays softball for UCLA in the Pac-10.

Tandem Transplantation in Multiple Myeloma
Tandem Transplantation in Multiple Myeloma
ABSTRACT: The use of high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell support in the past decade has changed the outlook for patients with multiple myeloma. In newly diagnosed patients, complete remission rates of 25% to 50% can be achieved, with median disease-free and overall survivals exceeding 3 and 5 years, respectively. Despite these results, autologous transplantation has not changed the ultimately fatal outcome of the disease, as there is no substantial evidence of "cure" in most published studies. An additional high-dose chemotherapy course (with tandem transplants) appears to improve progressionfree survival, although the effect is not discernible until 3 to 5 years posttransplant. The recent reports of tandem autologous transplant for maximum cytoreduction followed by nonmyeloablative allogeneic transplant for eradication of minimal residual disease appears promising and deserve further investigation. A central issue of tandem transplants, whether they involve autologous or allogeneic transplants, revolves around defining the subsets of patients who will benefit from the procedure. Good-risk patients (defined by normal cytogenetics and low beta-2-microglobulin levels), especially those who achieve a complete or near-complete response after the first transplant, appear to benefit the most from a second cycle. High-risk patients (defined by chromosomal abnormalities usually involving chromosomes 11 and 13 and high beta-2-microglobulin levels) whose median survival after tandem transplant is less than 2 years should be offered novel therapeutic interventions such as tandem "auto/allo" transplants. Until the efficacy and safety of this procedure is fully established, it should be limited to high-risk patients.
Newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients treated with high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation have a superior outcome in terms of eventfree and overall survival, compared with conventional chemotherapy recipients.[ 1-3] Although this has been proven in only one randomized trial, the results of several phase II studies provide a substantial body of evidence favoring the use of high-dose therapy (recently reviewed by Fassas and Tricot).[4] Despite this improvement in survival, it is clear that autologous stem cell transplant (auto- SCT) is not curative in the majority of patients. Allogeneic transplant (allo-SCT) is the only accepted curative therapy for multiple myeloma, given documented molecular remissions that are attributed to the graft-vs-myeloma effect, which appears to overcome chemotherapy resistance.
One approach to improving outcome in multiple myeloma patients is to administer additional cycles of high-dose therapy (usually two to three) with "tandem" transplants. Traditionally, autologous stem cells-and, more recently, allografts following administration of a nonmyeloablative conditioning regimen-have supported the second cycle. This review will focus on the prognostic factors that predict longterm event-free and overall survival following tandem auto-SCT and the potential for cure and benefit associated with tandem "auto/allo" transplantation.
Historical Background
High-dose therapy for multiple myeloma was introduced by the Royal Marsden Group.[5] These investigators reported an impressive 100% overall response rate in nine relapsed multiple myeloma patients following high doses of melphalan (Alkeran), 100 to 140 mg/m2, without stem cell support. Subsequently, several trials demonstrated high-dose therapy to be superior to conventional chemotherapy in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients with response rates of 70% to 90%, complete remission (CR) rates of 25% to 50%, and median overall survivals of 4 to 5 years.
The Intergroupe Franais du Mylome was the first to randomize 200 previously untreated multiple myeloma patients to high-dose therapy with auto-SCT support (melphalan, 140 mg/m2, and total-body irradiation, 8 Gy) or conventional doses of chemotherapy.[1] The response rate in the high-dose therapy arm was 81% (CR = 22%), compared with only 57% in the standard group arm (CR = 5%, P < .001). The probability of achieving event-free and overall survival at 5 years was 28% and 52% in the high-dose therapy arm vs 10% (P = .01) and 12% (P = .03) in the conventional-dose arm. This trial confirmed the importance of complete response as a prognostic factor for overall survival.[6]
The use of peripheral blood stem cells, growth factors, and single-agent melphalan at 200 mg/m2 (vs totalbody irradiation) significantly reduced treatment-related mortality and improved the overall outcome of auto-SCT in multiple myeloma patients. In the 1980s, in an attempt to improve the results of auto-SCT, several groups used tandem high-dose therapy with auto-SCT.[7,8] Numerous phase II and III trials have shown that these strategies are feasible and well tolerated.[9-24] However, these studies were nonrandomized and contained a relatively small number of patients, making it difficult to prove that tandem transplant is more effective than single high-dose therapy and auto-SCT (Table 1).
Nonrandomized Trials of Tandem Auto-SCT
In the early 1990s, Barlogie's group in Little Rock, Arkansas, adopted a "total therapy" program for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients. The program consisted of a series of intensive induction regimens using the non-cross-resistant drugs vincristine, doxorubicin (Adriamycin), and dexamethasone (VAD) * 4 cycles, etoposide, dexamethasone, cytarabine, and cisplatin, followed by high-dose cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan, Neosar) and stem cell collection, followed by tandem auto-SCT (irrespective of the response to induction). Upon hematologic recovery, patients received maintenance therapy with interferon.
Several updates of these data have been published.[3,7,24,25] The investigators noted a progressive increase in complete and partial response rates with each stage of the study: from 5% and 34% after VAD, to 15% and 65% at the end of induction, to 26% and 75% after the first auto-SCT, and to 41% and 83% after the second. Median event-free and overall survivals were 68 and 43 months, respectively. Median time to disease progression was 52 months (Figure 1).
On multivariate analysis, superior event-free and overall survivals were observed in the absence of unfavorable karyotype (11q breakpoint abnormalities, -13 or 13q) and low beta-2-microglobulin levels (Figure 2). Median CR duration was 50 months, and CR was significantly longer with early onset of remission and favorable karyotype. Time-dependent analysis suggested that administration of the second auto-SCT within 6 months after the first extended both eventfree and overall survivals significantly, independent of karyotype or beta- 2-microglobulin levels.
The outcome in 1,000 multiple myeloma patients who received tandem auto-SCT was recently reported by Barlogie's group.[23] One factor associated with prolonged event-free survival (> 5 years), in addition to the absence of chromosome 11 or 13 abnormalities and low beta-2-microglobulin levels (< 2.5 mg/L) was pretransplant chemotherapy of less than 12 months at the time of first auto- SCT. Recently, Tricot et al reported that a small group of patients (n = 46) remained in continuous remission up to 7 years after auto-SCT. Of 515 patients, those without unfavorable risk factors (25%) had an event-free survival rate exceeding 35%, compared with 15%, 10%, and 0% for patients with one (43%), two (27%), or three (5%) risk factors, respectively.[ 26] These data show that patients with high-risk features should be considered for novel therapeutic interventions, as tandem auto-SCT does not significantly improve eventfree or overall survival.
Other studies using tandem auto-SCT reported similar long-term survival rates.[27] The European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation recently updated its transplantation registry data on a total of 8,362 multiple myeloma patients.[19] Only a subset of newly diagnosed patients (n = 441) received tandem cycles of high-dose therapy (their selection criteria were not reported). The investigators noted a trend toward improved survival at 7 years among patients receiving one vs two auto-SCTs (39% vs 57%, P = .1). The median overall survival following auto-SCT was 7.1 years in the tandem group and 5.6 years in the single auto-SCT groups. Although the majority of patients relapsed within the first 5 years after auto-SCT, a plateau was noted in event-free and overall survival after 7 to 8 years, thus supporting the possibility of "cure" in a small subset of patients.

We, the undersigned faculty members of the College of Arts and
Letters, petition for immediate, substantial action to raise the
Hesburgh Library to the level of a library at a research university.
Notre Dame would never tolerate a situation in which laboratories of
engineers and physicists were so badly equipped that they had to go
off-campus to pursue day-to-day research. Yet many of Notre Dame's
humanists and social scientists face exactly this state of affairs.
For humanists and many social scientists, a research library is
the equivalent of a scientist's laboratory. The library is the essential
infrastructure for research, graduate and undergraduate education.
Hesburgh Library has never come close to adequacy in many areas of
humanistic and social science research, and it is getting comparatively
worse. There is no perfect measure of the usefulness of a library to a
scholar, but the total number of volumes is a good indicator. Between
2000 and 2005, according to the Association of Research Libraries (ARL),
Notre Dame's ranking in total volumes held steady at 59th (with a
slight uptick in 2003 and 2004). In 2006 it fell to 60th. In 2007 it
dropped to 62nd. Why? Notre Dame's rank in the total number of volumes added
each year was 32nd in 2000, 29th in 2001, 37th in 2002, and in the most
recent statistics has sunk to 50th. In the ARL's new "library
investment index" Notre Dame's position is actually negative (see ARL
Table 21).
Compare other institutions that aspire to improve their standing
in research – and they are actually doing something about it. Fifteen
years ago, Penn State's library was roughly comparable to Hesburgh
Library in size. It now ranks 25th nationally in contrast to Hesburgh's
62nd. The reason why Penn State is getting better and Notre Dame worse
is simple. Hesburgh Library is currently adding slightly fewer than
80,000 volumes a year to its collection. Penn State is currently adding
about 185,000 volumes per year to its holdings: well over twice Notre
Dame's effort. We have been similarly leap-frogged by other
universities that we tend to consider our inferiors. A decade ago, the
libraries of Oklahoma, Texas A&M and of North Carolina State
University were about the same size as Notre Dame's library; Brigham
Young's was smaller. Today, Oklahoma's library is over 50% larger than
Notre Dame's; those of Texas A&M and North Carolina State are 15%
larger than Notre Dame's, and that of BYU is almost 20% larger.
Currently, Oklahoma adds over 130,000 volumes a year, BYU almost
185,000, Texas A&M 165,000, and North Carolina State adds some
173,000 volumes a year.
Although the digital revolution has transformed the storage and
retrieval of knowledge in many areas, scholars in many disciplines will
continue also to depend on printed materials: digital resources
complement, they do not replace printed ones. Besides, digital resources
can be costly too. In three fortunate disciplines, theology, philosophy
and Irish Studies, Hesburgh Library's holdings seem adequate in some,
perhaps most subfields. Also, the collection in Medieval Studies has
kept pace with ongoing research. In other core disciplines of humanistic
and social science scholarship, the collections range from very spotty
to appallingly thin, a situation that also undermines newer,
cross-disciplinary areas such as American Studies, Gender Studies and
Africana Studies. The weakness is especially severe in foreign-language
materials critical to support ND's aspiration to internationalize
research and undergraduate education. Fields of study that Notre Dame is
currently developing - Islam, Africa, South Asia and East Asia - are
hardly covered at all. Notre Dame has a library fitted for a pretty good
liberal-arts college, but generally inadequate for a research
university. There is no great research university without a great
research library.
First, Notre Dame must go beyond the loose aspirational rhetoric
of the past twenty years and commit itself actually to building a
serious research library. This can only happen if Notre Dame both increases the library's annual budget permanently and
makes a one-time major financial commitment, equivalent to building and
equipping the Jordan Hall of Science (the cost was about
$77,000,000). We need, as an immediate first priority, a
much larger staff of bibliographers including ones who read the European
languages including Russian along with Hebrew, Greek and Latin, and
also Arabic, Turkish, Persian, Chinese, Japanese and Central Asian,
African and indigenous American languages. Simultaneously, the Library
should commit itself to a strategy of entrepreneurial retrospective
collection building that will enable it to move effectively and quickly
as soon as funding becomes available. It ought then to add, not as it
does currently 80,000 volumes (with an acquisitions budget of
c.$10,000,000) a year, but between two and three hundred thousand
volumes annually for a decade or so (with an annual acquisitions budget
of c.$35,000,000), before settling down to a rate of perhaps 150,000
volumes (annual acquisitions budget c. $20,000,000, i.e. about double
the current figure). In due course, we need a high-density building
adjacent to the library or on the edge of campus to hold books less
often used. We cannot do better than engaging the faculty and
students of our own acclaimed school of architecture to prepare plans
for such a structure and for the library as a whole. Only major reform
and investment on this scale can build a research library.
Without it, Notre Dame can resign itself to staying in the second
rank of universities. Why is Notre Dame willing to make commitments on
this scale in the natural sciences but not in the humanities and social
sciences, disciplines that have long formed and continue to form the
intellectual core of its Catholic identity? Taken together, these
disciplines are Notre Dame's best hope for being academically
distinguished and also distinctively Catholic.
Second, Notre Dame needs library leadership dedicated to such a
program of development. During the last ten years, our library has
entered the world of digital resources. But now, the Director of the
Library along with all who work there should receive the institutional
charge to build the Hesburgh Library into a serious research library on a
par with libraries at universities like Texas, Indiana, Duke, and
Arizona – not even to mention the nation's foremost research libraries.
We urgently request you to instruct the Director of the Library to focus
aspirations and energies on growing a research library that will enable
Notre Dame to become the major research university it hopes someday to

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Beautiful gardens, most of the staff very nice and helpful, nice Olympic pool, spacious and well furnished rooms, good location (10 min by bus from Kos town). Poorly renovated bathrooms, bad quality food, atmosphere of 'mass tourism' in restaurants and pool areas (noisy, endless queues, in no way relaxing ), some facilities (f.ex. billard, air condition in our rooms !!! ) constantly out of order.
It ıs a good hotel and you get what you paıd for. Although there was a warnıng about sea beds reservatıons almost each one was reserved.
Nice pools and not to overcrowded. Good bus connection to Kos town. It is a good hotel but you don't expect to get 4star quality if you book a 5*star hotel, especially from a chain like Iberostar. The buffets are not good enough, 5 days the same musician whole evening, the maintenance of the garden. Beach towels can only be picked up at very limited times.
We had a wonderful time at this hotel. The facilities were excellent. Modern style rooms. There were five pools, so as enough to accomodate everyone. Nice location. Quite peaceful at night. The food was also very good
It was a clean place to come back to at the end of the day. Nice architecture. It was not actually in Tigaki-needed to rent a car to get around and it was not something we had budgeted for.Food was bland and not 5* standard-very repetitive.Flies on buffet.Breakfast too busy had to wait in line for coffee and food(live stations manned by 1 person only).Staff lacked knowledge.Towels(room & pool) smelled bad.Claimed to have WiFi in rooms but didn't.No questionnaire to fill out at the end of stay for feedback. No PR/Guest Relations Manager.
Very helpful stuff, trying to satisfy any reasonable wish. Beautiful hotel, nice service! Animation for kids sometimes was cancelled without notice
The view of the sea is wonderful. Also the design of the hotel is very nice.
The comfort was excellent. The materials used in the hotel was of a very high quality. The hotel has a different view of garden view than booking.com has. The main pool area was not well organised. It was difficault to get towels and sunbeds.
Friendly and efficient staff, excellent breakfast, impeccable and modern decorated rooms, great pool and gardens
If you are looking for a perfect Hotel with the most amazing swimming pools you'll ever see, and all of this at a fair price, this is the place to go.
Constructed in 2009, deserves each one of its 5 stars! It is very modern, very clean, a deluxe hotel. Staff was more than polite and very friendly, breakfast was superb, very spacious room which had an incredible sea and infinity pool view, modern design in every corner! Loved every minute of it! It was one of the greatest weekend breaks we've had! No flaw in my opinion!
Peaceful Shower head completely unpredictable. Needed top sheet on bed as doona too heavy
The view,the design of the hotel,the privacy,the hospitality of the hotel staff,the swimmingpool restautant facilities and service 1.when you take shower in the bathroom water is coming out of the bath to be cheked. 2.Breakfast to be improved having a diet corner and the fresh orange juice also.
We enjoyed the beautiful view and enjoyed the varied breakfast-buffet (they even had whole grain bread). The evening service at the main bar was really good- very friendly barkeeper. The pianist at the main bar plays a very nice mixed musicial program.Towels were always provided at the pool and at the beach. The food and service in the "à la carte" Restaurant was disappointing (service unpolite). In addition, the reception seemed unmotivated to answer any question (e.g. for the taxi service to the airport we needed to ask 3 times to organise this). In the bathroom we had problems with the shower since the hothead was not stable and the water came out of the drain and spilled over the whole bathroom. Furthermore, the beds gave us a back-ache.
the pool bar restaurants arw not too inviting very white and stark
I appreciated the nice location of the accomodation and the peace and quiet of the environment. No people was crying during day or night! This is the ideal place where relax. I also appreciated the committment of the staff to help us to face some problems we had.We reserved at the beginning only for 2 nights. Then we went to south. And once back on the north we could stay one night more, in a better accomodation at the same price. Good cooking. We stayed on October, so some nights were cold: in these nights the restaurant room, even if closed by big winwows, had open doors for use of customers dining outside.
The staff provided great customer service; friendly, nice and helpful.
We liked the big pool, the delicious meals and the luxury rooms and the design of the hotel very much. Service also as its best. nothing
Very good standard, clean and very nice outdoor area The towel service was bad
Is is very good white hotel with interesting disign. I don't like the breakfast. The beach is not very comfortable and situated across the road.
location, rooms, pool, design very nice. Room price was supposed to include internet access from the room. There was a computer in the room and they told us that we can use it to access internet + listen to music + watch video. Unfortunately none of those functionalities were working. We asked them to repair it or change our room, but they did nothing except telling that we have to wait until monday for the repairman to come and fix it. Not reasonable since we were there for a weekend. In conclusion this is a very nice but badly managed hotel...
comfort, nice atmosphere the waiting time for lunch orders
The overall design of the hotel and the room was to a high standard and included a pc. The shower was fantastic (but see comment below too)The hotel had a pleasant relaxed feel. Reception and bar staff very good. Restaurant staff were mixed, some very good, others not so good. Overall this hotel is "style over substance". Although the room (pool side view, ground floor) was of a high standard it lacked real privacy, I suspect this would be even worse when the hotel was fully occupied as the terrace area outside the room is public space. The shower was great however the shower door was almost impossible to open from the inside due to a very small handle - if you stayed in the room on your own you could easily get trapped in the shower! The buffet food for the evening meal was sadly not up to the 5-Star rating this hotel claims.
The hotel was beautifully decorated and was very confortable. It had everything you would need for a very relaxing holiday. We stayed in a Superior Pool Room which was excellent and worth paying the extra. All the facilities you needed i.e. terrace and sun beds were right outside the patio door to the room. The reception staff were excellent. There was not alot around the hotel although you can get a bus into Kos town about 10 mins away. There should therefore be entertainment at the hotel which unfortunately there wasn't. Also,certain members of staff needed training in customer service and were certainly not of 5 star standard. On the other hand there were a couple of members of staff who were excellent. I am sure this will be rectified in coming years as the hotel is new and so are the staff.
The Alexandra was clean and quite acceptable. The breakfast was of a good standard.For Greece it was above standard and I would consider staying there again. The matresses could have been softer.
room with fantastic view and is was quiet
We were very happy with the Hotel. Upon arrival we found much to our surprise that they upgraded our room to a suite because we we celebrating our 44th wedding anniversary. I had a problem getting wireless in my room. The hotel manager came up and helped me get on line. Our stay was more than we expected
The position is fantastic as one can walk to the Plaka, Ermou, Omonia, Acropolis etc. and the tour bus stops just opposite. Food is limited but good. The internet in the room is wired which is a shame but works well. The menu is limited and only the coffee shop was open in the evening but the food was very good and room service was excellent. My only comment is that the rooms have no atmosphere - no flowers (even artificial!) in the room, no dressing gown or slippers and there were no tea or coffee making facilities in the room. A cup of tea from room service is 6€ and if like me you like lots - it is an expensive exercise.
Great view of the harbor off our balcony which made for a wonderful romantic glass of wine after a walk along the wharf as we explored the first evening. Good breakfast included in the bill which gave us energy to tour the old fort and relax a bit before boarding our sail boat. We will definitely recommend the hotel as a good value in a great spot and will be coming back soon for a longer stay.
The good will of the staff in overcoming some problems with the first room The swimming pool was inactive
Close to attractions Clerk was watching Porno movie while doing my paper work
located near the harbour and city sightseeing points Air conditioner was inefficient to keep air fresh without opening the window although it was already not as hot as in summer. Swimming pool was unexpectedly empty, no information provided on the homepage about this seasonal facility (some other hotels in the area had pool available)
We were staying in Bodrum, Turkey, and used the hotel for an extended trip to Koss Town. Well situated close to the ferries and town. Good breakfast.
Fair enough, in fact better than expected.
The recreation facilities are excellent
Animation and the lagoons
Water and watersports. Comfort and pools. The buffet was not of a high quality...quantity is not quality and most of the time quality is much more important than quanity. Also, for a family of 4 americans, we do not eat 35 dollars worth of food each. The price is so high for the quality of food being low.
Interior design of lobby very sophisticated -- calm and simple, pleasing to the eye. Beautiful view of the pool area and sea (in lobby&lobby bar). A sumptuous breakfast -- the only thing I missed was drinking water, everything else was there, and more. Friendly and efficient service, not at all pushy. The hotel contacted me in advance to confirm the reserved dates and arrival time, and arranged airport transportation. Pool area and private beach were excellent; clean and well-maintained. Quiet and nice rooms. Free movies and music/entertainment in the evenings. No internet access in the room; hourly cost high for WLAN in the lobby. Very little to do/see in the vicinity of the hotel (but compensated by punctual and frequent bus connection to Kos center).
We realy like our stay at Grecotel Kos. It was unbelievable experience for my family ! We like our room because it was realy nice , comfortable and with a beautiful view. The breakfast was the rishest one we have ever seen. Also we fell in love with the park of the hotel. The landshaft architecture was brilliant. The beach was the perfect place for swimming , resting and having fun. Everything was really amazing ! We have no complaints about Grecotel Kos Imperial !
Room and pools enjoyable. Kids loved facilities. Transportation from town to hotel difficult. Hotel needs to provide guest with more help assistance in transportation.
View is incredible; there is only Sea from the window. When you are in bath, you can open a small store and see the view even there. It is only 5-6 minutes of walk from the Kos center and this is irreplaceable. For sunbathing, there are 10-12 chaise longues (it was enough) without interacting with sand. For swimming, there are small rocks but it was very clean. There are 2 things: first one is restaurant is a little expensive compared to outside restaurants (H2O restaurant is well known in Kos and considered as one of the best so the food is very nice and I can easily say price/quality ratio is very good - your money is not wasted but it is not cheap...). Second one is the glass separators (not transparent) in the balconies have 5-10 cm of distance from the wall and you can see your neighbour from some angles - they put small tulle curtains to correct. So you have to force yourself to find a negative aspect of the hotel. (one last comment - internet is not free)
This hotel has a great location and a very nice view of the sea from each room. The H2O restaurant on the waterfront is also quite nice. I had dinner there twice and enjoyed the food. However, I thought that the furniture in my room looked a bit old, of poor quality and the night table was very scratched. Generally, I got the impression in this hotel that they seemed to have wanted to create an impression of a quality boutique hotel without spending too much on quality furniture. The breakfast buffet looked nice but the food was not good. Some of the fruit had gone bad but was still on the buffet. I think overall, I would still recommend to stay at this hotel based on its location but would suggest not to have breakfast there.
excellent kindness of staff, good food (breakfast), design, location near the center of Kos and marvelous sunny terrace in front of the sea for having breakfast
Good view. Excellent room and facilities No
The position on the sea between the port and the marina - perfect for us as we love the sea, sailing and boats. The mention of a pool was an attraction but the reality of it was extremely disappointing. You should not include the pool on your advertising as a feature - our fish pond is bigger!!
The reception staff both day and night were excellent. Fast and efficient upon check-in and check-out. Friendly and informative when answering questions. Excellent English. Prompt with assistance when problem with Wi-Fi internet. And yes, excellent Wi-Fi available. The restaurant was excellent. Gourmet type food, but in a relaxed, bar type setting. The waiters friendly and informative. Do have to get their attention for assistance when needed, but think that's more a cultural thing vice poor service. Very good assortment at breakfast. Many locals in the restaurant at all hours....a good thing. Wonderful stay with wonderful people. All good, no complaints.
The hotel is located right on the beach and is within walking distance from the Old Town of Kos. The room is spacious, nicely decorated, and has a big balcony with a unique view to the Turkish coast. The hotel's H2O restaurant is one of the best in town.
İ returned to Kos after a brief visit last year just so that İ could stay again. The sound of the waves is wonderful! Everythıng was as I remembered it-- matchless view, comfortable and modern furnishings, ultra-helpful reception staff, and great location on the water and near town. İ have told all my friends about this place. Highest recommendation! Staff at breakfast is not as friendly as the rest of the hotel staff-- but the food itself is excellent.
Lovely, almost quirky, design but cheaply and frankly shoddily put together. excellent outdoor dining and bar area literally right on the waters edge. good breakfast! not particularly good value for money. very stange interaction from the front office staff !!?? shocking lift! no one to help with luggage.
Classy conversion of a 70's building. Great food and excellent dessert place around corner. All rooms face onto the water. Very comfortable and classy.
Very clean, good standard accommodation. You even get a kettle in the room. Towels and bedding changed daily. Lively bar, but it cannot be heard in the bedroom. Aircon extra (this is normal I believe). Only confusion is that the hotel does not take credit cards. The booking confirmation stated credit cards were ok, but on check-out we found out it was not. Not really the fault of the hotel, but a breakdown in communication.
Friendliness of the staff and central location to the resort.

KILLEEN — After his share of bad nights to start the season, IMCA Modifieds reigning champion P.J. Egbert closed the points gap to just 19 behind White in that division with his third straight feature win.
"We had a bunch of bad nights early," Egbert said. "It feels good to be back in Victory Lane."
Egbert said it was much easier to keep a lead than to get out front in the wet conditions.
"It was fairly difficult to pass because of how narrow the racing lane was," Egbert said. "Mostly, you wait for people to make mistakes."
Ben Ketteman and Kenny Stone finished behind Egbert; White finished fifth.
Danny Dunn collected the street stocks feature win in a race that saw five caution laps. Dunn jumped out on Dean Silva after the second in the seventh lap and held Brian Fuller and Chris Florio away long enough for the checkered win.
Robert Simmerman — the current and two-time street stocks track champions — and Trevor Sparkman came into the Saturday night feature tied atop the points list, but Simmerman bowed out at turn No. 1 in the 19th lap and Sparkman finished fourth to give him the points lead, 567-558. Florio and Joe Fuller are now tied in the third-place slot with 539 points apiece.
David Holtz and T.J. Yagalla each took home a share of the Texas Twisters first-place prize money because of the class's two feature races Saturday night. Yagalla held off both points-leader Keith Desmarais (599 points) and J.D. Hardcastle (589) for the win. Holtz edged out Matthew Fitzgerald and Michael Hilliard earlier.
Colton Monroe picked up his ninth feature win of the season, edging Joseph Charnock and Travis Zwiefelhofer across the finish. Monroe now holds a 578-565 advantage over Charnock in the points standings while Zwiefelhofer is currently third with 534 points.
And, finally, Amber Hall, racing in Sparkman's No. 20 street stock car, won the street stock/I-Stock Powder Puff race.

It is midnight, October 31st 1758 and Giacomo Casanova has escaped from a Venetian prison after sixteen months consigned to darkness and the underworld. Shaking off the enforced solitude, Casanova makes his way to Bolzano - the small village where he was dealt a cruel hand. A place full of memories, Bolzano was the scene of a moonlit duel fought with the Duke of Parma when Casanova and he were both in pursuit of the beguiling Francesca. The quest was lost and Casanova was left with three scars above his heart and one option: he could live, but only on the condition he never saw Francesca again. But now Casanova is back having secured a loan from an old friend, and is determined to win this time whilst the Duke has an offer Casanova simply cannot refuse and that just might spell his undoing.

Sandor Marai was born in Kassa, in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, in 1900. He rose to fame as one of the leading literary novelists in Hungary in the 1930s. Profoundly anti-fascist, he survived the Second World War, but persecution by the Communists drove him away from the country in 1948, first to Italy and the to the United States. Marai committed suicide in San Diego in 1989, never knowing about the fall of the Berlin Wall and the restoration of democracy to Central Europe. He is the author of over twenty books. Conversations In Bolzano is the second to be translated into English.

National Alopecia Areata Foundation - NAFF
The National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF) provides support and information about alopecia areata and related topics. The foundation has two main goals. The NAAF provides online and in-person alopecia areata community support where patients and families can share information.
Shared experiences can be very valuable for people with alopecia. The NAAF also educates the public about alopecia and the people who have this condition. The foundation joins many alopecia areata sites on the internet to help you understand the impact of hair loss.
As a nonprofit organization, the NAAF operates with a board of directors and charitable donations. In addition to a board, the foundation has a Scientific Advisory Council. This council provides guidance from medical doctors and leaders in the field of alopecia study.
Finding A Cure
The NAAF focuses many resources toward finding a cure or acceptable treatment for patients with alopecia. By connecting a network of doctors, patients and research studies, the foundation advances the study of the disease.
The NAAF uses funding to support scientists who might learn new information on alopecia. The complex causes of alopecia require the NAAF to help scientists who work in many different fields. Research grants from the foundation help researchers study genetics, autoimmune diseases and clinical studies. Topics of past research include the cause of alopecia and possible treatments.
Many of the people who have alopecia learn about the latest research studies through the NAAF website. This resource gives you the opportunity to participate in a study or keep your knowledge up-to-date.
When The National Alopecia Areata Foundation began working toward a cure, sufferers had few places to turn for help. The need for alopecia areata community support became obvious. The website for NAAF provides a variety of services to help you. You will find assistance if you are recently diagnosed or if you have lived with alopecia your whole life.
Available Recources
Message boards and an interactive website at NAAF give you the ability to talk with other people wherever you may live. You can attend local events where groups meet and support each other through the experience of hair loss and baldness.
The groups formed by NAAF focus on respect for the individual's experience and privacy. Online stories about others who have alopecia can inspire you and give hope that you are not alone in your struggle. The NAAF website offers a list of companies that support NAAF through donations.
The products sold include books, wigs, skin care products and headwear. NAAF helps you regardless of age or how the disease affects you. Children even find emotionally supportive items like dolls with wigs. While these products are available on the website, NAAF is not in the business of selling things.
Some alopecia areata sites provide general information for you. Many sites offer advice on how to treat your alopecia. Be cautious that the information you receive is accurate. Through shared information and research, The National Alopecia Areata Foundation builds a community of knowledge, powerful individuals and the tools to make positive choices.

I must assume you are working with v9.0 since v8.2 is KDE-centric :) It is a very simple matter to add or remove a desktop, such as KDE within v9.0: Go to the PC-BSD control panel -> System Manager, select System Packages tab, then choose KDE within the 'Desktops' group. It is possible to initiate the System Manager GUI from the commandline with: pc-sysmanager CAVEAT **WARNING** Adding/removing a PC-BSD package within System Manager will also have a side-effect of removal of any installed FreeBSD Ports or Packages. --- Hope you enjoy your time with PC-BSD! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
