The Walking Dead - Poem by cheryl davis miller
'You feel too deeply, ' my mother spoke.
When suddenly from sleep I woke.
How can one limit ones depth of heart?
Please tell me Mom I want to start.
To lesson the ache and stop the tears,
that's followed me these many years.
Then celebrate what is left of life,
free of the cares of pain and strife.
To look through my eyes and yet not see
the turmoil and perplexity,
of the lost and lonely souls out there.
Please tell me Mom how not to care.
How can I not hear the sad refrain
of souls vexed so by sins dark stain?
The ghastly reward of sin does flow,
wages of sin is death you know.
Sins payment is never sweet nor fair
more bitter yet when gathered where,
the worm dies not and souls can't go free,
but pay for sin eternally.
The lyrics of one old melody,
tell how the dept was paid for me.
Not only me but those souls out there.
So tell me Mom how not to care.
Jesus paid the total cost in full,
to free them from thier master cruel.
Yet blindly through this world they trod,
the walking dead; apart from God.
You see why I feel it so deeply,
is that the Lord lives within me.
His suffering we are called to share,
for all the walking dead out there.
So you see one can not feel too deep,
these words of 'wisdom' you must keep.
Deep calls to deep, 'Come my burdens share,
show the walking dead how We care.'

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Nobody is going to confuse Texas A&M's offense with an old-school, power running attack.
The Aggies are a team that likes to operate at a fast pace, spread things out and get the ball to their playmakers in space.
But that doesn't mean they can't run the ball right at an opponent, which is what they did in their most recent win over Arkansas.
The second half of the Aggies' 45-33 win consisted of them running the ball 29 times and throwing just seven passes. For the first time since the AT&T Cotton Bowl win over Oklahoma in January, the Aggies finished the game with more rushing yards (262) than passing (261). And that second half stretch included two drives, one of nine plays and one of seven, that were all running plays that ended in touchdowns.
"That's probably the first series we've had ever since we've been here [as a coaching staff] that we didn't attempt one pass and scored in a seven-, eight- or nine-play drive," Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said. "That says a lot about your team, your versatility and about where our confidence factor lies with our offensive line and our running game."
What it also says is that the Aggies are deep at the running back position. All four of the Aggies' scholarship running backs -- Ben Malena, Tra Carson, Trey Williams and Brandon Williams -- touched the football on Saturday and combined for 203 rushing yards.
It was just the second time this season that all four have been available for a game, and was perhaps the best performance for the group this season.
"It's a luxury," offensive coordinator and running backs coach Clarence McKinney said. "It was really good to see all four of those guys out there. They were not only being competitive within the game, but they were competing with each other. That's how they do it every day."
Malena is the starter and elder statesman of the group. He emerged as the starter last season, claiming the top spot over then-senior Christine Michael, who's now with the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL. Malena's combination of running, receiving and blocking ability makes him a versatile option that fits the A&M offense well. He is the leader among the team's four running backs with 303 yards and seven touchdowns. Coaches have praised his reliability and leadership all season.
But Saturday was a true showcase for Carson and Trey Williams, who provided a formidable one-two punch themselves. Carson, who has impressed since his Aggie debut on Aug. 31 against Rice, is a big, physical, north-south type of running back who also has good speed for someone carrying 230 pounds.
Averaging 5.6 yards per carry, he's second among the team's running backs this season with 229 yards and four touchdowns.
"You see Tra Carson out there running hard," Malena said. "It takes more than one guy to tackle him."
Trey Williams had a 100-yard game last season in a blowout against Auburn, but he hasn't always been healthy in his A&M career. He's still not 100 percent healthy but showed that he's getting close to that on Saturday, leading the team with 83 rushing yards and a touchdown while averaging 9.2 yards per carry.
"He's really, really good with the ball in his hands," McKinney said. "And he showed a little bit of that on Saturday and hopefully that'll kick start him for the rest of the year."
Brandon Williams missed the season opener while recovering from offseason foot surgery but has gradually been working his way back into the lineup. He showed his burst with a 20-yard carry against Arkansas and also has a touchdown reception to his name this season.
"He's the guy that probably has the most wire-to-wire potential," Sumlin said. "He's a home-run threat from anywhere."
The fascinating part about the Aggies' playcalling on Saturday, which led to 44 rushes and 30 pass attempts, is that there were no designed runs called for quarterback Johnny Manziel. McKinney noted that Manziel is going to run whether or not a run play is called for him but they wanted to limit how many hits he took.
Manziel wound up carrying the ball nine times for 59 yards with the four running backs accounting for the other 35 carries. He is still the team's overall leading rusher with 314 yards on the season.
But as the Aggies get deeper into their SEC schedule, they can do so knowing that they have a multitude of running back options to go to and so far, all of them have proven capable of delivering.
"We've got a variety of guys," Sumlin said. "Our staff has done a good job with those guys and making sure they're sharing the wealth and that the more you can share it, the healthier you're going to be throughout the year. We're not even halfway [through the season] and we've got some bruised up guys.
"They know that and they help each other and I'm pleased with the direction that whole position has gone."

Whither a Europe of the (English) regions? Reflections on the prospects for the representation of English territorial interests in Europe
This article considers the prospects for the maintenance of a European 'capacity to act' by UK sub-state authorities in light of the rescaling of the institutions tasked with fostering local and regional development in England. It considers the formalization and greater resourcing of European regional policy following the Single European Act of 1986 and the Maastricht Treaty of 1992 and the discourse of a 'Europe of the Regions'. It then moves on to examine sub-national capacities through developments such as the creation of 'Brussels Offices' to represent the interests of sub-national agencies in the European Union policy-making process. It concludes with an examination of the scaling back of European representation for English regions and a suggestion that any accompanying reduction in influence may in time be regretted.

Canoga Park CA (SPX) Jul 28, 2006
Pratt and Whitney Rocketdyne announced Thursday it has completed testing of its hypersonic Ground Demonstrator Engine No. 2 at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va.
This is the first time that a closed-loop hydrocarbon-fueled scramjet propulsion system has been successfully tested at hypersonic conditions.
The PWR GDE-2 produced significant hypersonic data results during several test runs conducted at Mach 5 conditions in the eight-foot High Temperature Tunnel at Langley. The engine used standard JP-7 fuel in a closed-loop configuration to both cool the engine hardware and fuel its combustor.
"Completing the testing of GDE-2 marks a significant milestone in hypersonic technology," said Mike McKeon, manager of hypersonic programs for PWR.
"GDE-2 is a complete propulsion system that contains many of the technologies required to make real world hypersonic propulsion a reality."
Pratt and Whitney Rocketdyne teamed with the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory and NASA to complete the testing of GDE-2.
A government/industry team that includes AFRL, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, NASA, PWR and Boeing will use technology demonstrated by GDE-2 to develop the propulsion system for the X-51A flight demonstration program, which will begin flight testing in 2008.

FORMER Ginetta G50 Cup Champion Nathan Freke will return to the driving seat in a Harrier GT1 alongside the car's owner Ian Stinton for four rounds of the 2014 Britcar Endurance Championship.
The pair previously raced together for the first time at the Silverstone round of the 2013 British GT Championship in Stinton's Ginetta G55 GT3 and were comfortably running inside the top five before a mechanical problem forced their retirement.
"I'm delighted to be back with Ian this year," said Kidderminster born Freke.
"We got on really well last year and the team are a really good bunch of guys to be around.
"We were unlucky in Silverstone but Ian and I have remained in touch since then and I'm so happy that we've been able to put a deal together for four rounds of the Britcar Endurance Championship."
The 2014 Britcar Endurance Championship starts at Silverstone on Saturday.

Actually, you have that kind of backwards.
 Both have terms -- 1 year. ĀBoard members remain in office until they
 are replaced.
 There is no such clause for officers. ĀOur bylaws state that they must
 be appointed annually, and as the year ran up at the beginning of
 October, so did the term for all three officer positions.

 Noisebridge has been without an ED since October. ĀThis has been
 stated at a board meeting and a general meeting.
 In fact, two board members even tried to simply appoint an ED at the
 last board meeting to "fix" this. ĀThey even planned to do so without
 consulting the members before conceding to objections that while the
 legal authority exists for them to do that, it runs completely against
 Noisebridge policy.

 In general, I would like to thank all of you for turning this into a
 discussion about what people feel the ED is, and absolutely nothing to
 do with actually selecting a new one.
 You might argue that you feel defining the role is the same thing.
 It's not -- who it is, and what they will be doing are two different
 controversial subjects. ĀIntertwining them has, as best I can tell,
 resulted in absolutely no progress on either side.

 So any chance this can get back on topic to its original intent of
 nominating people for the ED? ĀOr should I simply give up?

 Jeffrey

1878 - James mother dies in childbirth with her 6th child. James stayed with his father while the other children were raised by various relatives.
1880 - James & his father Daniel are living in Walton T., WashCoMo. James birthplace is given as Missouri. Daniel's age is given as 35 birthplace Mo., birthplace of parents Va., occupation laborer.
1882 - James father Daniel remarries to Mrs. Sarah Jane Hawkins Dicus.
1892 - James marries his step-sister, Mrs. Margie Frances Dicus Henslee. Margie was the daughter of Sarah Jane Hawkins & Brad Dicus & the widow of Jesse F. Henslee.
1900 - The James Martin family was residing in Reynolds County, Missouri. James' occupation was farming. They were living next door to the William Nelson Martin family. The census gives Nelson's fathers birthplace as Tennessee & James's father's birthplace as Tennessee.
1910 -
1920 -
1930 -
1940 -
1942 - James Martin died suddenly at age 75 while residing in Potosi, Washington County, Missouri. At 7:00 p.m. on June 3rd he was returning home from Adams grocery store on Depot Hill. He collapsed on the porch and was dead before help could be summoned. He is buried on the east edge of the New Masonic Cemetery, Potosi. There is no tombstone.
James and Margie's children:
two other Martin children died young.
Ida Bell Martin b: 1892 - married James Cooper. They had six children one of whom died as a child. Mr. Cooper was once sheriff of Washington County. Ida died in St. Charles County in 1988 at the age of 96 years and is buried in New Masonic Cemetery, Potosi. "Aunt Idie" was a very sweet and loving person and I have many fond memories of her.
GUY THOMAS MARTIN - was born 3 Jan. 1898 at Palmer, Washington County, Missouri. He married Berdie Mae Henderson in St. Francois County and they had eleven children one of whom died in infancy. Guy served in the U.S. Army in WWI. [Guy played the harmonica very well. He was a real scrapper and got into many fights!] My grandfather died in 1969 in St. Louis and is buried in New Masonic Cemetery, Potosi.
Olive Bradley Martin was first married to Ben Maxwell. They had seven children. After Ben's death she married Harry Engleke. Ollie died in 1973 and is buried in New Masonic Cemetery, Potosi.
Joseph Daniel Martin b: 8 May 1901 Reynolds Co., Mo. - d: 29 May 1961 buried next to his parents in New Masonic Cemetery, Potosi - was married to Elva Dickey. Served in WWI.
Margie smoked a corn cob pipe and while residing at Irondale she maintained a still. She evidently passed her brewing tallents on to her son, Guy, as he was known to make homebrew a concoction which he referred to as "Panther Piss". Margie had psychic abilities (premonitions) a trait she inherited from her mother who was part Indian (Native American). Margie also told people's fortunes by reading tea leaves in the bottoms of tea cups and many of her predictions came true. Her favorite expression was, "Why, it's a sin to the crickets and grasshoppers!" She loved to dance and could not keep still whenever she heard "dancin' music". (Makes me think of Granny in the Beverly Hillbillies!)
Margie allegedly remarried in southern Missouri, but later divorced and resumed the Martin name. She died at the home of her daughter, Ollie Maxwell, at 906 N. Mine St. in Potosi on November 17th 1955. Her age was 86 years, 11 months and 2 days. She is buried next to James, her husband of 50 years, in New Masonic Cemetery, Potosi.

The 800 year-old Gauri Shankar Temple is located close to the Digambar Jain Lal Temple at Chandni Chowk in Delhi. The temple is one of the most important temples of Shaivism in India.

The lingam of the temple is surrounded by snakes made of silver. This is considered to be the 'cosmic pillar' or the centre of the universe. The temple was built by a Maratha soldier who was an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva, Apa Ganga Dhar. Tales say that he prayed to Lord Shiva when he was critically injured in a battle and promised to build a temple if he survives the severe injuries. Miraculously, he survived against all odds and the temple was constructed at Chandni Chowk. The temple was built in 1761.
The name of Apa Ganga Dhar is inscribed on the lower part of the pyramidal roof of the temple. However, the temple was renovated by Seth Jaipura in 1959, whose name is also inscribed over the windows of the temple. The interior of the temple has idols of Lord Shiva, his wife Goddess Parvati and of their sons Ganesh and Karthik. The bejewelled idols of Shiva and Parvati are situated behind the lingam. A silver pot is kept above the lingam from which water keeps pouring out continuously.
The nearby attractions of the Gauri Shankar Temple are the Red Fort and the Jama Masjid.

The Studio, Sydney Opera
House, October 8
Contemporary Asian dance doesn't get much of a showing here so it is good to have a program of solos presented by the Sydney Opera House, Hirano and Carnivale.
The four performers from Seoul, Hong Kong, Osaka and Taipei use stillness, slowly evolving movement and silence with engrossing skill. In contrast, Australia's representative, Kay Armstrong, is chatty, busy and essentially cheerful in the excerpt from her work Rara Avis, which portrays a world of suburban materialism on a stage scattered with scrunched and unopened beer cans, lit by car headlights. Armstrong gives a genuine feel to her performance but the props are more memorable than the dance theatre content.
Ju-Hyun Jo, from Seoul, has the most beautiful line and breathtaking balances, which she uses to great effect. Her years with the Washington Ballet have left their mark, yet her body seems inscribed with her cultural background. The combination is riveting in its slowly unfurling movements and frozen climaxes.
Hong Kong dancer Abby Chan is less interesting choreographically and perhaps a little too dependent on colourful video backing in Spectrum. This is one of those dances that goes on longer than its ideas can sustain it.
Shigemi Kitamura, from Osaka, winds butoh feet and face characteristics into Song for Life, but they are peripheral to the idiosyncratic elements of dancing.
With a rose growing from her lips and frenzied outbreaks of fierce action to music ranging from Star Dust to Me and Bobby McGee, she makes jokes through a cowboy parody - wriggling the rose like a moustache - then gets serious with the rose, making it almost her partner.
She was followed by Yu-chun Chan and this Taipei dancer's style, intensity and imagination could well have obliterated the memory of a lesser predecessor.
Her dramatic vignette with a drawer of underpants reflects her program note dedication to her mother, whose "unsatisfying life" she witnessed and does not intend to repeat:
Sounds in the Mist is powerfully performed and rich in ideas, a compelling solo that invites a second viewing.
Little Asia Dance ends tonight

JERUSALEM (Jul. 7)
The optimism generated here by President Reagan's agreement in principle to "contribute a small contingent" of American troops to assist in the withdrawal of Palestine Liberation Organization forces from west Beirut was not dissipated today by the resurfacing of obstacles still holding up a final agreement.
Israel's Cabinet held a long session in the morning and ministers emerged saying they were hopeful of a peaceable solution to the problem of the beleaguered PLO forces trapped by the Israel Defense Force in west Beirut. There was no substantive official statement issued and a top Israeli aide, Foreign Ministry Director General David Kimche, was reported to have gone to Beirut to report to U.S. envoy Philip Habib on the Israeli Cabinet stance.
As reported earlier in the week, the two obstacles that still seem to impede a settlement are: the PLO's demand that it keep a political office in Beirut, and the PLO's demand that two small Palestinian army units stay in Lebanon, in the areas under Syrian control, and withdraw only at a later stage, together with the Syrian and IDF forces.
The Prime Minister's spokesman, Uri Porat, reiterated today the Cabinet's Sunday decision rejecting both of these demands. Nevertheless observers here continue to believe that if these are the sole remaining problems to be resolved, solutions will some how be found.
Labor Alignment leaders made it clear at a session of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee today that their party would not support IDF military action against west Beirut if these two PLO demands were the only remaining obstacles and the main body of the PLO agreed to leave the city without a fight.
One idea that has been aired during the week was for the PLO to set up its desired political office in the north Lebanon town of Tripoli, thus remaining on Lebanese soil but not in the much more sensitive spot, Beirut.
The situation of another problematic issue — the PLO's demand for a partial IDF pullback from Beirut in the first stage — was not known. Israel has said it will not pull back until the PLO withdrawal from Beirut has been accomplished.
Conceivably the entry of U.S. forces into west Beirut and also of French troops — with the con-commitant implied U.S.-French guarantee of the PLO's exit — would enable Israel to soften its stand on this point and agree to a partial withdrawal earlier than it otherwise intended.
Israeli officials do not conceal their reluctance to approve a direct French role in the proposed Beirut withdrawal. Jerusalem has been deeply disappointed by Paris' stand during the war in Lebanon, and its efforts to save the PLO.
But the Israeli officials recognize that the U.S. is extremely reluctant to send its troops into Beirut without a broader "multinational" framework. Since. France, with its own strong and traditional interests in Lebanon is apparently eager to play a role, Washington plans on a French batallion alongside the U.S. forces, giving the venture its "multinational" character.
Israel Radio reported after today's Cabinet meeting that the French are seeking a UN aegis for their proposed role in Beirut. This no doubt would make Israel even more dubious about the French participation.
Meanwhile, it has become clear that the exiting PLO men would head firstly to Syria — to the port of Latakia if they are taken off by ship — and from there would presumably spread out among the Arab states. Israeli officials note wryly that most Arab states have expressed outright reluctance to receive the ousted PLO men.

I don't know it doesn't sound like you love her, since all …
Comment on Aya Hirano "Hates Otaku" "Has Quit Being A Seiyuu" by TC-man:
I don't know it doesn't sound like you love her, since all you care is her voice. You know Aya is a human-being. If you really care you would care about what is happening to her in real life, right? You also don't mind that's she's on the drug and alcohol? I would care about her and her well-being.
Recent comments by TC-man:
- Ghost in the Shell ARISE "Looks Amazing" "Maaya is Perfect":
To be honest, this will be better than every (future?) Hollywood adaptation of GitS (if there's one that is), especially having watched this latest trailer.
- Top 25 Shocking Seiyuu Connections:
Then you didn't listen to Kikuko Inoue's darker and more evil roles. Her voice sounds totally different than that of sweet and lovely Belldandy etc., e.g. in Kiddy Grade as Alv or Claymore's Miria. Who's deaf again?

Now she looks like a teenager! Now young enough to be an idol!

So this is the other world that's created by Obito and Madara? If this is the case then this should be turned into canon, instead the current story which is crap.

Osteoporosis (bone loss) is the primary disease associated with long-term calcium deficiency; it may be associated with bone pain and spinal deformity. Depleted levels can also cause muscle cramps, irregular heartbeat, and depression.
Low levels of folic acid have been linked to anemia, heart disease, and birth defects. Symptoms may include fatigue, mouth sores, swollen tongue, and poor growth.
The information presented here covers some of the nutrients that may be lowered when you take certain medications. The signs and symptoms listed can be caused by other conditions. If you have these signs and symptoms, it doesn't always mean you have low levels of these nutrients. Many things affect the level of nutrients, including your medical history, diet, and lifestyle, as well as how long you have been taking the medication. Please talk with your health care provider. He or she can best address your health care needs and see if you are at risk for low levels of any nutrients.

Iconic rap group Slum Village will be no more after the release of its upcoming album. The band, now comprising of Elzhi, Illa J and founding rapper T3, is putting the final touches to its latest project, "Villa Manifesto" - but the disc will be its last as Slum Village.
Breaking the news on his Twitter.com blog, T3 writes, "One more thing... this is the last Slum Village album." Fellow member Elzhi tweeted also, "Not sure what's going on ... I hope Slum Village's label and T3's manager respect what I do for SV. Either way I appreciate yall support."
The revelation comes a year after the death of original rapper Baatin, and four years since producer J Dilla, the third founding member, died from complications from a blood disease in 2006.
"Villa Manifesto" is due for release in July.

APEC administers two project approval sessions per year for APEC member economies to apply for funding. Project sessions are very competitive – there are more applications than there is funding available. Members are encouraged to think deeply about their project, and consult widely with their colleagues, to ensure that they have the best possible chance of receiving funding. Funding is approved by APEC's Budget and Management Committee (BMC).
There are two stages to each project approval session:
Concept Note Stage: The process starts with the submission of a three page concept note outlining the intention of the project by the dates specified below. Only approved concept notes proceed to the next stage.
Project Proposal Stage: This stage only applies for approved concept notes. A concept note is developed into a longer and more detailed project proposal that specifies precisely how the project will work. Project proposals must be submitted for BMC approval by one of the project proposal dates specified below.
Internal Submission Deadline (Submit to Your Group)
By the Internal Submission Deadline*, submit your concept note to your group through your Program Director, so that it can be:
By the Final Submission Deadline, submit your concept note to the APEC Secretariat's Project Management Unit through your Program Director. It must be endorsed and assessed by your group, and be compliant with the Guidebook on APEC Projects.
Concept notes can't be accepted after the Final Submission Deadline.
First Submission Deadline
Final Submission Deadline
You can submit your project proposal to the APEC Secretariat through your Program Director by any one of the submission deadlines advertised above. The deadline when you submit will affect the date when you can expect to be notified about BMC's decision on your project. Please take this into consideration when planning you project activities.
By the submission deadline, your project proposal must comply with the requirements in the Guidebook on APEC Projects. This includes:
Project Proposals can't be accepted after the Final Submission Deadline.
Please note:
Internal Submission Deadline (Submit to Your Group)
Final Submission Deadline
Concept Note Development
A project originates from an economy or economies, and is considered and delivered through APEC fora (committee, working group, etc.). Individuals affiliated with APEC fora are eligible to apply for APEC funding, provided their concept note and proposal are endorsed by their forum. This individual, called a 'Project Overseer' (PO), will lead the design and delivery of the project on behalf of their economy.
The PO must prepare a three-page concept note describing the project's objectives, relevance, methodology and alignment to APEC's goals. POs must also identify the funding source to which they are applying – see APEC Project Funding Sources. The project must secure the requisite number of co-sponsors (check with the program director for your forum for the required number). Concept notes then need endorsement by the forum. Forum members must also assess the concept notes and give them a score against a set of assessment criteria. The scores serve as a non-binding recommendation to Committees, reflecting the forum members' priorities.
Concept Note Approval
All concept notes then move from their originating forum to the Committee that oversees the forum's work (SCE, CTI, EC or SFOM). Committees also assess the concept notes and give them a score against a set of assessment criteria. If there are more concept notes submitted than funds available, Principal Decision Makers (PDMs, who are individuals nominated by each APEC economy) create a final list of all projects to determine the order in which concept notes qualify for the available funding. APEC's Budget and Management Committee (BMC) approves the final list of concept notes that can be funded, based on their priority and the funds available. To understand the process in detail, consult Chapter 4 of the Guidebook on APEC Projects.
Project Proposal Development
Once concept notes are approved by BMC, the Secretariat will notify POs of the outcomes. Successful POs will be invited to expand their concept note into a full project proposal. The proposal must be endorsed by the relevant forum and at least two members from other economies must peer review the proposal. The PO must then submit the proposal and peer review to the APEC Secretariat. The Secretariat's Project Management Unit also assesses project proposals according to the Quality Criteria for Assessing APEC Projects: relevance, impact, effectiveness, sustainability and efficiency. The Secretariat provides advice and assistance, as needed, until the proposal meets satisfactory quality on all criteria.
Final approval
Once proposals have reached satisfactory quality, the Secretariat recommends them to BMC for approval. If the proposal is approved, the project moves to the implementation stage.
For further information on specific projects and the process for applying for APEC funds, please review the Guidebook on APEC Projects or contact the relevant APEC Secretariat Program Directors.

The Marine Corps Heritage Foundation is seeking submissions for its annual awards program. The 2014 contest recognizes work illuminating the 238-year history of Marine traditions, culture and service, from long ago battles to ones still being fought in Afghanistan today.
Deadline for entry is Jan. 8. Military personnel, reporters, writers, photographers, filmmakers and other artists or historians are encouraged to submit their own works, or nominate others.
"Fewer Americans have a personal connection to the Marine Corps and military service in general, so the preservation of the Marine Corps experience is increasingly important," said Lt. Gen. Robert R. Blackman, Jr., president and chief executive of the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation.
"Photographs, articles, books, movies, poems and all forms of art educate our nation about the history of the Marine Corps and ensure we never forget the sacrifices made by those who have earned the title, Marine."
Awards will be presented April 26 at the foundation's annual ceremony, in 15 categories including journalism, documentary, literature, screenplay, photography and poetry. Winners receive a $1,000 cash prize, a medallion and a commemorative brick along the Semper Fidelis Memorial Park pathway at the Marine Corps Heritage Center.
Entry is free. For more information, visit here.
Last year I helped judge the foundation's Major Megan McClung Award for distinguished reporting on U.S. Marines abroad. Our panel unanimously selected Wall Street Journal reporter Michael M. Phillips for his first-hand account of a suicide attack in Afghanistan.
To view last year's winning submissions, click here.
In 2012, I received the Major Megan McClung Award for my front line coverage of Camp Pendleton Marines deployed to Sangin, Afghanistan with the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment.
I also received the 2012 General Oliver P. Smith Award for distinguished local news reporting, for my eight-day series "The Long Walk Home" about the recovery of a Marine double amputee wounded by an improvised explosive device.
The series was based on three months of reporting on Sgt. Collin Raaz as the former scout sniper learned to walk again on prosthetic legs at Naval Medical Center San Diego.
Other award recipients in previous years include Tom Hanks, HBO, NPR photographer David Gilkey and William Broyles, Jr., whose screenwriting credits include Jarhead, Apollo 13 and Flags of Our Fathers.
The foundation was established in 1979 as a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and promotion of Marine Corps history.
It provides grants and scholarships for research and the renovation, restoration, and commissioning of historical Marine Corps artifacts and landmarks. Fundraising to complete construction of the National Museum of the Marine Corps and Heritage Center, in Triangle, Va., is the foundation's primary mission, as well as supporting the Corps' historical, museum, and educational activities.

LASIK Surgery for Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington residents. CREWS LASIK & CATARACT CENTER was founded by Stanley L. Crews, one of the first laser eye surgeons to perform LASIK surgery in the Pacific Northwest. He has dedicated his professional life exclusively to vision correction techniques including LASIK, PRK, Wavefront Guided Laser Treatments and new technology IOLs for the correction of Presbyopia.
Dr. Crews is one of the Pacific Northwest's most highly trained LASIK eye surgeons delivering excellent results to his patients in Vancouver, Washington; Portland & Central Oregon and has performed over 20,000 procedures.
Dr. Crews studied in Florida and received his medical degree from the University of Miami and completed his Ophthalmology training at the University of Washington in Seattle. He is Board Certified and is an active and participating member of the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.
If you're considering laser vision correction, you'll find yourself bombarded with options. Today, there are more and more clinics claiming to offer high standards of laser eye surgery. So how do you even begin to make a decision? We believe it's all about trust. Your eyesight is one of your most precious gifts, so you owe it to yourself to check every option thoroughly before making a decision.
So what's different about Crews LASIK & Cataract Center?
Your initial screening at Crews LASIK & Cataract Center is complimentary and will be performed by Dr. Crews, unlike most other laser eye surgery centers that utilize optometrists to do their screenings. We're confident it will be the most comprehensive eye exam you have ever had.
Knowing your eyes in fine detail means lower risk and better results so Dr. Crews will never rush the screening process. We offer every patient customized treatment options that address their individual needs. While you might have the same prescription as someone else, the actual shape and surface of your eyes are completely unique – even from each other. The only way to minimize risk, and achieve the best possible result, is to understand each of your eyes individually and in detail.
Crews LASIK & Cataract Center aims for the ultimate in both medical care and customer service. Everyone in the team, from reception to the surgeon, is focused on your well being, and on delivering a truly exceptional experience.

Raven's Touch is available on iTunes, Amazon, Hulu, YouTube, Google Play and Vudu.
"If there was ever an original concept in lesbian filmmaking, Raven's Touch is it. From the raw emotions of it's characters to it's depiction of a nontraditional family, Raven's Touch should be seen and appreciated by all." – Curve Magazine
A truly magical part of this project is that it was made by hundreds of people who chose to get involved and help us bring Raven to life. Given the state of financing for women's films, we usually have to look outside the mainstream way of doing things, and so we did. Our amazing Raven Film Family members have, and continue to do their very best to birth this wonderful new women's film with us, and we couldn't be more grateful.
Blaming herself for a tragic accident, Raven Michaels secludes herself at a remote family cabin. She wanders the woods on the verge of a breakdown, seeking peace in isolation.
In a last ditch attempt to save her family, Kate Royce takes her two teenagers camping far from the distractions of technology and young romance.
When Raven and Kate's worlds collide they offer each other unexpected opportunities for intimacy and healing.

Fujifilm FinePix Z1 review
The Z1 is unfortunately a disposable piece of junk. Bought in February and I liked it a lot. Small enough to fit in a jeans pocket, yet with plenty of features and image quality good enough for holiday use. I found the menu system easy to use - of course after reading the manual. Like others here, I found that the picture is not quite horizontally aligned, but that is not a problem for the amateur.
A minor inconvenience is that even with the supplied Fuji holster, it is quite easy to set the movie recording switch on when pulling the camera from your pocket. After less than 300 shots, I discovered that I had paid for a Ferrari but got a Kia. Apparently it is a common fault with Fuji cameras that the lens suddenly "blacks out" and all shots are totally black. Fuji has actually recalled at least two models due to this fault, but not the Z1. The Fuji agent in my country acknowledged the fault as a manufacturing flaw, but refused to recognize the Fuji international warranty! Fuji apparently demands a piece of paper that is not included in the sales package and therefore not filled out by the seller at time of sale. The Fuji seller refuses to make amends, and I'm caught in the middle. So - if you like the Fuji Z1, get a Sony. I'm going to buy a DSC-T9 and so should you.

iLounge reports the new iPod Nano 4G will totally throw out the squat dwarfism of the current Nano design to fit in 1.5:1 widescreen screen like on an iPhone or Touch. That's a bummer: I actually love the current Nano, finding it a perfect compromise between complete pocketability and a full-featured MP3 player that can handle video.

|Hotels and rooms to let, are available for accommodation in the settlement and in the area around. You will find good food in the taverns at the sea front and snacks, light meals and refreshments in the fast foods.
You will swim at the long well organized beach, sandy in its major part, and pebbly at spots. Impressive groups of rocks seem to divide the beach in smaller parts; one of these groups of rock, named Ortholithi, is found within the sea, a very interesting theme for photographs.
It is worth visiting the nice scenic village of Kato Garouna, with traditional buildings, excellent samples of the local architecture, at a distance of 2,5 kilometers southern to Aghios Gordios. At the village you will see the excellent stone-made bell tower of the church of Aghios Nicolaos and the statue of the Stone carver, in local costume and holding his tools.
Once at Kato Garouna, don't miss to drive another 2 kilometers at the West, up to the small church of Aghios Panteleimonas, built on the top of the homonymous hill. From there you will see Aghios Gordios from above, an excellent theme for photographs. If you are a fan of more extreme sports, take your parapente, you may return to Aghios Gordios, ...flying.
You may also drive up to the village of Ano Garouna, at a distance of some 7,5 kilometers eastern to Aghios Gordios, and have your afternoon coffee there. The village is built at a height of 350 meters on the mountain of Aghioi Deka and it has an interesting church dedicated to Holy Virgin, dated to the 16th century. If you are around by the end of July, don't miss t attend the local feast ("panighyri") in honor of Aghios Panteleimonas, on the 27th of July.
For health problems and cases of emergency, local Medical Center is available at Kato Garouna (2,5 kilometers at the Southeast). Access from the nearby capital (Corfu, 19 kilometers) is possible by rented or private cars and motorbikes. The village is also connected with Corfu by public bus (the green ones), with regular service, and you may always use a taxi.

Mises Daily Articles
Power By Any Other Name
While some still see the Republican Party as the party of smaller government, it is hard to know why. Perhaps no one else did more to create this impression than Ronald Reagan. In his inaugural address Reagandeclared that "Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem." While President Reagan's actions fell far short of is rhetoric one might excuse Reagan by noting that the Democrat controlled House frustrated many of his efforts. This excuse obviously does not apply to the current Republican administration.
President Bush delivered more big government regulations and spending in his first four years than President Clinton did in his eight years in office. The first State of the Union speech of his second terms promises to deliver more of what we saw in his first term.
The high point of his speech was when he pledged to reduce or eliminate spending on more than 150 government programs. Discretionary spending will rise more slowly than inflation, tax cuts will become permanent: "taxpayer dollars must be spent wisely or not at all." This indicates a degree of fiscal responsibility yet unseen from Americas' 43rd president. However, this brief moment of Reaganesque rhetoric near the beginning of his speech was immediately followed by the kind of oratory that one would have expected from a President Kerry.
President Bush claims success with the centralized planning of education in his "No Child Left Behind" act. He wants to go further in planning education during his second term by "demanding better results from high schools", "reforming community colleges", and by making college more affordable by "increasing the size of Pell Grants". Given the overall track record of planned education in the US, we should be wary of President Bush's plans.
President Bush called for an end to needless regulation and junk lawsuits. While no reasonable person would support needless regulation, it would be interesting to learn which regulations President Bush believes are necessary or desirable.
President Bush supports reform that will make the tax code easy to understand and fair. This makes sense, but 2 paragraphs earlier he proposed low income tax credits for health insurance. These are the types of measures that make the tax code, in president Bush's words "archaic" and "incoherent".
Of course, one such exemption does not make the tax code incoherent, but there are a vast number of other potential exemptions which would benefit particular taxpayers. Is it "fair" to single out one particular need of one particular group of taxpayers as worthy of exemption, while eliminating other exemptions? Isn't this the kind of intervention that gave us the monstrous tax code that the President decries?
President Bush also has an energy plan to modernize the electricity grid, develop hydrogen powered cars, increase domestic energy production, and encourage conservation. While I am not an energy expert, I have to wonder why private industry won't invest in things like hydrogen engines- if they are as efficient and as clean as experts claim. One could say that pollution is a negative externality, but if there is political gain from serving the public in this way, it is at least possible for there to be some private profit opportunities in serving this same exact demand.
Perhaps the most disappointing part of President Bush's speech was the section on Social Security. President Bush proposes that about 1/3 of mandatory payroll deductions be devoted to real investments to be strictly regulated by the Federal Government. You will not be able to empty "your account" all at once. You will be limited to investing in "a conservative mix of bond and stock funds" in "your account". You will also be protected from market swings and hidden Wall Street fees.
How could President Bush have shown more contempt for the workings of the market process and the capabilities of ordinary people, or more faith in paternalistic government? While there are surely some instances where individuals make mistakes with their own money, or are defrauded by private money managers, the idea that the Federal bureaucrats are more capable or more trustworthy is absurd.
Aside from the fact of past failures of the Federal Government to provide a sound system of financing retirement, there are inherent defects of government that make the likelihood of future success miniscule. Special interests have an inherent advantage in lobbying the government over broader interests (Olson 1965).
The Bush plan for Social Security will result in Wall Street working with the Washington Bureaucracy, rather than with the people whose retirement incomes are at stake. These Wall Street firms, as a special interest group, will have far more influence over the structure of this program than the general public. Also, bureaucrats have their own agendas, and informational problems prevent the public from abating bureaucratic abuses.
The Republican party has hijacked the word "privatization" to help sell President Bush's plan for Social Security. What President Bush has proposed is not privatization at all, but the partial substitution of paternalistic interventionism for the current system of outright government control. President Bush appears to suffer from two general misconceptions. First, he accepts the view that the problem with Social Security is that it will become insolvent in several decades. He declared that Social Security was "a great moral success", but that it was "created for a different era" and changes that "the founders of Social Security could not have foreseen" have put it into crisis.
The problems of Social Security are not, as President Bush claimed, that people are living longer and the ratio of workers to beneficiaries is falling. Private pensions have no such problem because individual contributions go into real accounts that earn a real return. Social Security was founded as a direct transfer program where the average worker died at about the time when they became eligible for payments. It is also something like a Ponzi Scheme- those who pay in now are paid back by others who pay in later.
The problems of Social Security were fully foreseeable because life expectancies were already on the rise back in the early twentieth century, and much earlier, and direct transfer programs can never match the rate of return of savings and investment in the private sector. That is the problem with Social Security- money saved and invested earns a return and contributes to economic development. Income transfers cannot deliver the same kind of return because transfers do not contribute to capital accumulation.
The overall insolvency of Social Security is not the real problem. The real problem is that people receive a plus 2 to minus 2 percent return on their money in Social Security, depending upon the life expectancy of their ethnic and gender group. Why should we trust Federal bureaucrats to manage our "private accounts" on Wall Street when they have fared so poorly with public accounts in the past? In addition, according to the Wall Street Journal, "the administration has left the door open to raising the cap on the amount of wages taxed."
Other elements of President Bush's plans for America are to teach young men to stay out of gangs and to respect women and to provide Federal funding for defense lawyers. This is a far cry from when President Reagan spoke of the how the march of freedom and democracy will leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash heap of history.
President Bush also has plans for much of the rest of the world. While he declared that the US has "no right, no desire, and no intention to impose our form of government on anyone else", he clearly intends to continue with intervention abroad. President Bush may have no intention to plan out the specific details of foreign governments, but he made it clear that Democracy should displace Monarchy and Dictatorship.
So, in a general sense President Bush has a deep and abiding desire to impose "our form of government" on others, and has done so already. Some would say that this is a good thing, because Democracy is better than its alternatives.
However, the ends do not justify the means. Even if Democracy is the best form of government, the methods of the current administration leave much to be desired. The US invasion of Iraq has cost many lives and much money, increased resentment of the US abroad, and was in no way justified by security concerns. The US was not under threat of attack by Iraq.
It is also not at all clear that a better world requires more democracy. The success of democratic government in the US was due to the constitutional limitationsof this government. That is, American Democracy succeeded because of its least democratic elements. Rather than stressing the need for limiting democratic authority, President Bush stressed the activist role that he intends to assume in planning out a new world political order. He wants 350 million dollars to subsidize Palestinian democracy. He also asserted that Saudi Arabia and Egypt should move towards democracy.
Bush's plans for global democratization are not as detailed as his domestic plans. Yet, he does favor intervention and planning on a global scale, and didn't mention the need for limits on authority. Would ordinary Saudis do better with a British style limited constitutional monarchy or an unlimited democracy? President Bush seems concerned only with the form of government, rather than the limits of its authority.
It is hard to say exactly why President Bush has embraced interventionism. The influence of special interests surely has something to do with it. Yet, there should be a political payoff to the prosperity that typically follows the adoption of a true Laissez Faire policy.
Hayek once noted that the value of freedom rests upon the opportunities it provides for unforeseen and unpredictable actions. Government deals with more obvious consequences, so people overestimate the benefits of central direction because of the costs of giving up on the market are unseen. President Bush lacks an appreciation of this kind of reasoning. Consequently, he apparently believes in what he is doing. He believes in planning rather than the spontaneous order of markets and free enterprise.
What we need instead is a President with the ability to see past the obvious. Appreciating the market system means embracing the notion that people will arrive at solutions to problems which you cannot imagine, because the market allows for a division of labor whereby each can apply their individual talents in unique ways. Centralization places the burden of problem solving on fewer minds. This is antithetical to progress. The true state of the Union is unfortunately that its chief executive fails to grasp the profound truth that central planning by political elites can never match the results of decentralized planning by the general public.

USS Indianapolis reunion may be the last
INDIANAPOLIS — More than a dozen men who survived the worst sea disaster in U.S. naval history — the World War II sinking of the USS Indianapolis — have gathered in the cruiser's namesake city for the final large-scale reunion of the famed ship's dwindling number of survivors.
Thirty-eight of the 317 men who survived the ship's July 1945 sinking and five days in the Pacific's shark-infested waters are still alive, but they're now in their late 80s and early 90s and many use wheelchairs.
Harold Bray, an 86-year-old from Benicia, Calif., said he and the 14 other survivors attending this year's reunion decided on Friday that any more gatherings will be smaller and less frequent because so many of the survivors are in poor health.
"We decided to stay together until the last guy's standing, but the goal is to continue at a smaller scale," said Bray, chairman of the USS Indianapolis Survivors Organization. "Some of the guys are in wheelchairs now and travel is pretty tough for them."
Bray said the survivors will nonetheless keep telling the story of the ship's sinking, their survival and the role they played in helping bring the war to a close.
The USS Indianapolis was halfway between Guam and the Philippines when a Japanese submarine sank it with torpedoes on July 30, 1945, in the war's closing weeks.
Days earlier, the Indianapolis had visited the island of Tinian in a secret mission to deliver the uranium-235 and other components for the atomic bomb later dropped on Hiroshima by the Enola Gay, which took off from the remote island.
The Indianapolis' mission was so secret she sailed alone, unescorted by ships better equipped to detect and fight Japanese submarines.
An estimated 900 of the ship's servicemen survived the vessel's nighttime sinking, but before rescuers arrived five days later, drowning, delirium, dehydration and shark attacks had claimed all but 317 of the men.
The Indianapolis' death toll — 880 members out of a crew of 1,197 died — is the Navy's worst single at-sea loss of life. But reports of the tragedy were buried by the news of the Japanese surrender, and interest in the ship's story was not revived until the 1975 movie "Jaws" featured a character who told of the sinking and the survivors' days of agony.
Edgar Harrell, an 89-year-old from Clarksville, Tenn., who is one of only two ex-Marines among the remaining survivors, said the horrors he witnessed — including sharks devouring men around him — became too much for him to bear after he returned home.
While many survivors kept what they saw and heard to themselves, Harrell said the lingering trauma he'd suffered left him unable to focus on the college courses he enrolled in immediately after the war.
"I learned early on that you had to get it out, you had to tell others what happened," he said. "Once I did, it was a relief."
Clarence Hershberger, an 87-year-old survivor from De Leon Springs, Fla., who uses a wheelchair, hadn't planned on attending the reunion, which ends Sunday. He'd been feeling poorly but decided Monday to make the trip to Indianapolis, where a black granite memorial honors the ship and its crew.
He said that when all of the survivors are gone he hopes their relatives and others keep reminding the public about the ship and its crew's sacrifice.
"Somebody's got to keep the story alive," Hershberger said.

Bass Strait pirate turns himself in
Page Tools
The mystery of the buccaneer, the dog and the missing yacht ended yesterday when a man gave himself up to police.
David Appleby, 39, of Rye, gave himself up at the Moorabbin police station and was charged over the alleged theft of the $350,000 yacht Premier Cru from the Blairgowrie marina on January 30.
The yacht was found anchored in northern Tasmania on February 2, after eluding an air search by its owner and police.
The yacht, usually crewed by at least four people, was sailed across Bass Strait by a man accompanied by his German shepherd.
Appleby was charged with one count of theft over the yacht, and another count of theft relating to a bobcat stolen from Mordialloc in July 2004. He was also charged with handling stolen goods, and possessing the proceeds of crime and was bailed to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday.
The yacht's co-owner, Philip Murphy, son of the late wine merchant Dan Murphy, said last night he was relieved the saga was over.
"It's a good end to what could have been a very bad end. We're happy enough," Mr Murphy said. "It didn't make too much difference to us whether he turned himself in or not. The important thing for us is that we have our yacht back."
Mr Murphy said he would still like to know what the motive was. "I've been told various things, so I'm not sure what to believe at the moment.
"It is a bizarre story and it may have a very simple, straightforward ending. It could have been just straight-out theft or some trauma in his life."
The yacht is secured in the Devonport harbour and Mr Murphy will go there on Friday.
Fact and fiction had blurred in the tale of the missing 14-metre luxury sloop. At the weekend a map and a letter were left at a newspaper office in Devonport, with "X" marking the spot in a Tasmanian forest where the yacht's dinghy was hidden. The letter contained an apology and the disclaimer: "I am no Cpt Jack Sparrow." (Jack Sparrow was the rat-tailed corsair played by Johnny Depp in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean.)
"But I want you to know that I am very sorry for what I have put you through," the letter said. "But of a lot of bad ideas this was the best and I belive (sic) it saved my life."
The author apologised for the dog, which relieved itself in a cabin and admitted he had no intention of going to Tasmania. "It was the only place I knew I could sail in to anchor."

EZ Ride/DC Benefit
It was a spectacular day last Saturday with perfect weather and nearly 600 bikes taking part in the EZ Memorial Ride. The best moment for me was when the Sons Of Malta and Perry's Harley-Davidson surprised DC Strong Hero Dustin Colyer with his very own custom bike. It was his dream to ride in the event and there wasn't a dry eye when that bike rolled out. And our friends from Shinedown were there too lending their support to Dustin and the cause. BTW, you can still donate to the event even though you weren't there. Big "Ups" to everybody who made a great day happen.

In 1985 Flagg was living in a "tragic" New York apartment on the Upper West Side and trying to write a novel.
He told Flagg he had an extra ticket to see Eudora Welty at the 92nd Street Y the following week and invited her to use it.
They were holding too many meetings, he realized, descending into politics instead of ascending to reckon with Flagg.
As she told the story 27 years later, Flagg said, "I knew not to jump."
But Flagg, too, comes apart in his machinations, bent ever more fully on political domination.
She felt that she had some of the Flagg spirit of that sort in her.
I hope to prove that if any borrowing was done, it was done by Flagg.
She saw Latisan come striding down from the Flagg mansion, determination in his manner.
And there was Flagg to reckon with if violence should be attempted.
The Indians did have a good reason for giving Flagg that honor.
