First, thanks Anastasia for such a marvelous and accurate story on the situation at Karamu. Those of us far away appreciate your journalistic integrity and style. :-)
As a longtime Karamu supporter, volunteer, actor and student, I just want to say that Karamu has truly reclaimed it's place in the local and national arts scene since Terrence came to work there. He's been a tireless force behind the reestablishment of Karamu and its creative legacy. Karamu now stands as a shining example of what we can accomplish creatively together.
The Jelliffes established Karamu as a place for culture to blossom. It has been a center for community activity for nearly 100 years and is a Cleveland landmark. It is without a doubt, the creative soul of Cleveland's Black community. I cannot for the life of me understand the attitudes that would try to make it less than it was meant to be. Value cannot always be measured in dollars and cents, although Terrence has brought in moneys that eluded past directors with his vision and courage. Yet, there persists this foolish infighting that's all about personal power and not about the greater good.
Now this latest move by certain board members, influenced by the executive director, is making my gorge rise. Shame on you all! You've let your petty jealousies and rampant insecurities blind you to the truth. You simply won't survive without the theater.
From a marketing perspective, Karamu is a long established brand –– a THEATER brand. You won't be able to change that association in the minds of the public, or funding sources, so stop wasting (y)our time. Learn to work together, you're stronger together than apart! - Patrice Kelly

How can I move the Hover Box?Asked by talderman on October 13, 2016 at 08:49 AM
I am making a customer survey and have added a hover box for explanation. The questions is a matrix and when previewing it, the hover box covers up the last column making it so some options can't be chosen. How do I relocate the hover box?
Please respond to firstname.lastname@example.com
JotForm Support
Please inject following css codes to your form.
.form-description {
margin-right : -100px;
Please follow the guide about How to Inject Custom CSS Codes.
It will be seen as below after adding this code.
If you need any other support by our side, please let us know.
Thank you so much! That worked. How do I move it down a little now?
JotForm Support
You're welcome.
To move your hover box down a little, please, inject the css codes to your form. As you can see below, I just added margin-top:30px; css code to existing css.
.form-description {
margin-right : -100px;
margin-top : 30px;
If you have any questions, feel free to let me know.
When looking at the survey in preview or after published, it shows the code for spaces and breaks. It doesn't have those when simply editing it.
Also, can I make certain words in the hover message bold? What I am trying to achieve is an explanation of the terms used in the first column of question. So in the hover message I want to bold each of the terms before i give the explanation. So for the first one it would be
Photo Manager- Photos of previous work for your clients to see
I'm afraid I'm not sure what you meant by this:
When looking at the survey in preview or after published, it shows the code for spaces and breaks. It doesn't have those when simply editing it.
Is the form displaying incorrectly for you somewhere? If so, could you please attach a screenshot of the issue, so we can assist you properly.
When it comes to the Hover Boxes, they accept plain text entries only, and cannot be used with rich / formatted text.
Okay actually you can scratch that. I decided not to go with the hover message. However, for the same question when viewing it in the mobile version it expands the first column, making the other columns very small. When flipping the phone landscape, the problem is fixed. Is there a way of formatting it so when in portrait view it looks normal.
The styling issue of the Matrix field is being caused by the mobile responsive styles present on the form. To fix it, we can simply include the following custom CSS in your form:
@media only screen and (max-width:40em) {
.form-matrix-row-headers {
You can inject CSS into your form by following this guide:
In case the above code doesn't work for some reason, we can increase specificity of the code by using this instead:
@media only screen and (max-width:40em) {
.form-matrix-row-headers {
width: auto !important;
However, the first code would be preferable. Please try it out, and let us know how it goes.

… a charity does so you get a real sense of meaning and purpose behind your business, but also doing it for profit so you're personally motivated financially (and can pay yourself well!). For a long time I kept these two ideas separate, like church and state. Yes my business allows me to support charities, but the two projects were never closely…

George Hubert Graham Doggart, OBE, MA (born 18 July 1925) is a retired English sports administrator, cricketer and schoolmaster.[1] He played in two Test matches for England in 1950. He was the son of the sportsman Graham Doggart (1897–1963), who chaired the Football Association and played county cricket for Middlesex.
Life and career[edit]
Doggart was born in Earl's Court, London, and educated at Winchester College[2] where he was captain of cricket and football. On leaving school he was commissioned in the Coldstream Guards. He then went to King's College, Cambridge. He was a Cambridge blue in five different sports and captain in four. He earned a Master of Arts degree. He taught at Winchester College (1950–1972) and was headmaster at King's School, Bruton (1972–1985).
He was a successful amateur cricketer for Cambridge University and Sussex (captain in 1954). He made an unbeaten 215 against Lancashire on his Cambridge University debut in 1948 and this score remains the highest made by a debutant in English cricket.[3] Teaching commitments meant that he only played one full summer of county cricket.[4]
Doggart married Susan Beattie in 1960 and they had three children. He has held many offices in sports administration, such as President of the MCC (1981–1982),[4] the Cricket Council (1981–1982) and the Cricket Society (1983–1998), and he chaired the Friends of Arundel Castle Cricket Club (1993–2003).

School Excuses from Parents #2
Just the way the parents wrote them.
Maryann was absent December 11-16 because she had a fever, sore throat, headache and upset stomach. Her sister was also sick, fever and sore throat, her brother had a low grade fever and ached all over. I wasn't the best either, sore throat and fever. There must be something going around, her father even got hot last night.
The basement of our house got flooded where the children sleep so they had to be vaporized.
Please forgive Clarence for being absent from school the past few days. He was home sick from an operation. He had penis trouble and had to be serpent-sized.
Please excuse little Jimmy from missing school yesterday. His father is gone and I could not get him ready because I was in bed with the Doctor.
Please excuse Jimmy from being. It was his father's fault.
Ronnie would not finish his work last night. He said his brain was too tired of spelling.
I kept Billie home because she had to go Christmas shopping because I don't know what size she wears.
Please excuse Jennifer for missing school yesterday. We forgot to get the Sunday paper off the porch and when we found it Monday, we thought it was Sunday.
Sally won't be in school a week from friday. We have to attend her funeral.
My daughter was absent yesterday because she was tired. She spent a weekend with the Marines.
Please excuse Jason for being absent yesterday. He had a cold and could not breed well.
Please excuse Mary for being absent yesterday. She was in bed with gramps.
Eric hurt his knee in a karate tournament over the weekend. He won his age group, but was in too much pain to do his math assignment.
Please excuse Tommy for being absent. He was out with the swan flue.
Please let Jean leave the room if she asks. She has been sick with dire rear.

Most important computer code ever written
Even before the first computer was invented people have been writing code. Code has helped us land on the Moon and is helping us understand and map the human DNA. In everyday life code lands airplanes, drives trains and makes our roads safer.
But what was the most important code ever written? At Component Creator we know about important code. With more than 50,000 developers using our service to write code that (at least according to some of the support tickets we get) is extremely important to their owners.

As part of their 32-team "state of the franchise" series, NFL Network shines the spotlight on each team in the NFL while highlighting some of the big issues ahead. The Patriots were featured on Friday.
Analyst Charley Casserly weighs the Patriots' big losses (Wes Welker) against some gains (Leon Washington) and says, "You still have one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of the game. That offense will still be productive, and most importantly, you have Bill Belichick coaching them."
Defensively, Casserly notes the return of Aqib Talib as a key move. But ...
"I think safety is a problem for them. I think corner opposite [Talib] is a problem for them. I think coverage is a big issue and I don't think their pass rush is still where it needs to be," Casserly says. "Linebacker coverage is a question. So overall, defense, this is a liability."
All that said, Casserly still sees the Patriots as a playoff team.
Analysts Heath Evans and Darren Sharper then answer the question, "Has the championship window closed for the Patriots?"

What questions have you asked today?
Science is central to our understanding of the world and our aim in teaching science is to reflect the importance of the subject in our everyday lives. We help the children to understand the world around them, while kindling and encouraging in them a real appreciation for science in all its diverse and fascinating forms. When Einstein was young, his mother is rumoured to have asked him every day, not, "What have you done today?" but, "What questions have you asked?" This is an approach the world of science depends upon.
The new Science Department will be at the heart of the School, above the dining hall. Pupils will enjoy two new science laboratories fully equipped for all types of practical work, with sinks, Bunsen burners, gas taps and electricity points for individual practical work, as well as plenty of space for group experiments. In this new space they will regularly conduct their own experiments, creating hands-on, experiential and multisensory science – all great for developing their confidence in practical work.
As part of this project, the Prep kitchen will be remodelled and the dining room updated. There will also be a covered walkway providing, amongst other things, a useful shelter in rainy weather when pupils are waiting to enter the dining hall for lunch.
Following on from the project, the current science lab will become a computing lab – a new dedicated space for programming, robotics and code club, and the current ICT space will be converted into new girls' changing rooms.
This work is the latest stage in the long-term plan to transform the Prep facilities.

Left 4 Dead: Survivors (LEFT 4 DEAD 生存者たち) also know as Left 4 Dead: Arcade (L4DAC) is a Japanese version of Left 4 Dead 2 redesigned for Japanese arcades, featuring an entirely new cast of survivors. The game still takes place in the United States featuring the same scenarios from Left 4 Dead 2, but the characters are seemingly designed to appeal to the Japanese audience.
The game utilizes Nesica.Net enabling online play and in-game items that can be purchased with GZ Money (in game points gathered by playing and collecting money bags) to get special items, costumes and clothing, and weapons.
- Kudo Yusuke (Voiced by Kijima Ryuichi)
- "Japanese university student. Zombies appeared in the place where he was enjoying his long-sought trip to America."
- Haruka Hirose (Voiced by Sakura Ayane)
- "High school student in Japan, she belongs to the art club. Feeling kindly, she spent the day-to-day peacefully."
- Blake Jordan (Voiced by Takahashi Hidenori)
- "Bartender working in the hotel lounge. He used to be a member of the army."
- Kirishima Sara (Voiced by Sawashiro Miyuki)
- "Travel favorite tour guide. Her father is Japanese and her mother is American. While she is having a trip guiding school students of Japan in the United States, the zombie outbreak occurs."

Salted Walnuts in the Shell
- Details
- Nutrition & Ingredients
Fastachi Salted Walnuts in the Shell: Fastachi's Salted Walnuts in the Shell are the other newest member of the Fastachi family. As with all of the Fastachi nuts, the process begins with a premium raw nut. The California grown Walnuts are then roasted by hand, in steel drums, small batches with only sea salt. But what makes this particular Fastachi process unique is the shell. As the walnuts tumble in the roaster, it is the shell that heats up and roasts the walnut; it insulates the walnut, cooking it gently and evenly, allowing some of the salt to seep through. The result is a lightly crisped walnut incredible toasted and salty flavors.

Did you get a load of the Concord Monitor today?
Front page, above the fold, two vegan (vegetarian) gentlemen with a lip lock on each other. Don't ya love it!
The boys are from out of state but were inspired to come here by Governor John Lynch's "compassionate" homosexual marriage bill along with a pro-vegetarian message of "Hey, I don't have any pants on".
Peter Fitzpatrick 18, of some place down south, and Patrick Fitzpeter 29 of People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals in Virginia, kissed each other while promoting their "meatless" diet.
It seems Governor Lynch has job approval ratings of 113% in other parts of the good old USA as well. These guys had nothing but wonderful things to say about our state, now under Democrat control.
I don't know if Governor Lynch or any other top Democrats offered the PETA boys a place to stay, or a free meal, but you can't deny that the New-New Hampshire was good to them. People were friendly and the weather was perfect. And that was a big help for the pant-less, PETA-promoters.
The 18 year old PETA homosexual marriage proponent, Peter Fitzpatrick, was a tad skinny and looked like he needed a few fries and a shake to hide his very prominent ribs, but then you remember his message of how healthy and "sexy" a meatless diet is and say to yourself, "Heck some poor young girl is being spared!" and it all seems as though nature does have balance after all.
Bless those boys for coming up to NH to show support for Governor Lynch and I hope the New "Democrat" New Hampshire sees more of them.

Adams delighted with Foxes
By Steve Luckings
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Following their win over Blackburn last week The Foxes hauled themselves out of the bottom three with a stunning away victory but Adams is keeping his feet on the ground about the size of the task that lies ahead for his side.
Adams said: "We have been striving to do that for a few weeks now but we've got to be realistic and realise that all we've done is win a game of football here today.
"I asked the boys to go out there today and stick their chests out and be proud. It's a fantastic stadium and all I asked of them is that they learned their lessons from the Wolves game."
Jordan Stewart opened the scoring for Leicester as Adams tinkered with his selection to accommodate Riccardo Scimeca.
"Jordan's been playing at left back for us recently but we moved him forward today so we could accommodate Riccardo Scimeca and he's come up with a fantastic goal for us."
Paul Dickov was awarded a penalty early in the second half which brought about a chorus of boos from the fans who used to sing his name but Adams defended his Scottish star and said there was no question Sylvain Distin was right to be punished.
"From where I was sitting it was a definite penalty," he added. "My only gripe is, if the referee thought he threw a hand in his (Dickov's) face then why didn't he send him off?
"But I can't have too many complaints about the game. People keep wanting to write us off but they shouldn't because I've got quality in that dressing room, even if some of them are getting on a bit."
Dickov was also adamant that referee Mike Riley was right to award a penalty against Distin: "Yes, it was a penalty because he pushed me in the face.
"It's nothing that doesn't go on in any game every week, but the referee was right there and he's decided that it was a penalty."

September 18, 2006
I seem to be nearly caught up. The column is done, the mailbag is done, I managed to do some fiction, and I have caught up on registering the new subscribers. Now to get Inferno finished. I do not intend to let a few joint problems slow things down.
ought to cheer you up. After which
Perhaps we will find a Caesar who thinks first of the welfare of his own people. There does not seem to be such in sight.
Probably not a remedy...
Yesterday we had breakfast with friends after church, and then I had to get the column out. I also wasted some time reading nonsense about the The Great Harlan Ellison Incident, which turned out to be none of my business and thus a big waste of time. The result was that I didn't read either newspaper yesterday at all.
This morning's papers have a week's worth of material on Monday Morning.
First, we find that the Pope decided to apologize to the Muslims. He began his speech on a nice summer day at Castel Gandolpho (Google under that name for a picture) but no sooner had he begun than a sudden thundershower drenched him and his listeners. Perhaps there is a lesson in there? Meanwhile, in order to demonstrate their steadfast devotion to peace and justice, Muslims continue to burn down Christian churches, including Greek Orthodox churches that have no allegiance to the Pope, and at least one Protestant Church. Way to go!
Next item: various newspapers including the Wall Street Journal are carrying stories about new announcements from Intel and the University of California at Santa Barbara: they have developed new means for gluing indium phosphate to silicon chips so that the chips can now communicate by lasers. This sounds enough like the Starswarm life form computers I dreamed up in my novel that I am tempted to preen.
Some references:
The implications are said to be profound. On the broader view, it's one more driver toward faster and better hardware, with more complex communications between and among computer systems. Over in Chaos Manor Reviews we've been having an on-going discussion of what we will do with all this new computing power: our software at the moment doesn't really take advantage of what we already have.
Also from the Wall Street Journal: although it's not precisely news, Microsoft is gunning for Apple's iPod revenue stream in a big way. Apple gets 75% of the market, and it's a third of their revenue, and Steve Ballmer wants Microsoft to get its fair share, which is a 95% market share. (That's the way IBM used to think, back in the old days.)
Having blown it with "Won't Play for Sure", Microsoft is now taking control of hardware as well as software, and is betting on its new Zune. Whatever the technology, Zune has to be one of the least fortunate name choices I ever heard. Zune was designed by the leaders of the XBOX team, and will move Microsoft further into the business of making and marketing hardware. Until recently many pundits promoted the conventional wisdom that Apple chose the wrong model: they wanted to be IBM when they should have tried to be Microsoft, hardware being inherently less profitable than software. We're nowhere near the end of this story. Zune will be made by Toshiba and marketed by Microsoft under the Microsoft brand name, with the goal of cutting deeply into Apple's iPod business.
It's probably just me, but I don't use iPod for much other than, with the Griffin adapter device, a splendid little pocket voice recorder. I also put lectures on it for listening to at odd times, but I usually forget to listen to them. Maybe it's because I have so much else to do, but I have never had the slightest temptation to fill my life with noise. My radio is tuned to KUSC Classical Music, but I have no particular wish to take it with me on my hikes. Apparently there is a segment of the latest generation that simply cannot bear to be without auditory stimulation, even for short periods: I noted with horror at CES that I could buy gadgets to allow me to use my iPod while SCUBA diving or water skiing.
I already have too much to read, so I seldom watch video podcasts, and while once in a while an audio podcast can be interesting, I don't usually remember them until they are too old to be interesting. Perhaps the latest generation grew up with MTV and TV all the time instead of books and newspapers? In which case I suppose this site is doomed, since it's mostly text.
In Houston they are arming against "Katricians". Katricians are defined as Katrina refugees who still don't have jobs and aren't looking for them after a year. A spokesperson for the Katricians -- at least he said he was speaking for them -- recently threatened riots and disruption if the free rent programs are not continued. Meanwhile, crime rates and gun sales rise in Houston.
Houston took in more Katrina refugees than any other city. Why they thought that people fleeing the most corrupt and least orderly city in the US would be good visitors is not entirely clear, but I guess hope springs eternal; or perhaps Jacobinism has taken deeper root than many believe.
And finally, just before the Presidential Election the pastor of All Saints Pasadena, the most liberal Episcopal parish church in California, heard their rector deliver a fiery anti-war sermon. This is perhaps as astonishing as the news that the minister of a Four Square Gospel Assembly delivered a sermon against idolatry. Last week, the IRS demanded that All Saints Pasadena turn over all its financial records, membership rolls, and just about every other record that it has, on the grounds that the rector, in preaching his anti-war sermon, was partisan, and anti-Bush, which is again about as astonishing as that the Four Square minister would be anti-Satan.
All Saints is considering defying the order to turn over its records. There will now be a big hullabaloo about defiance of the law and so forth.
I would call this an important issue. Surely the pastor of a religious congregation has the right to preach sermons denouncing the government, the President, the Congress, and all their works? If not, then precisely what does it mean, "freedom of speech" and "no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"?
Now it is as certain as anything can be that churches and organizations posing as churches will find ways to use tax exemption in pernicious fashions to evade tax laws, and that some will be formed for this purpose and no other. It is a delicate matter, deciding what is a "real" church and what is not, and whether certain organizations are serious in believing what they purport to believe. That being said, I think no one would question that All Saints Pasadena, a long established church with well known beliefs, is a genuine church espousing "religion" well within the meaning intended by the Framers, and as deserving of the protection of the First Amendment as any religious organization in the United States.
If the pastor of All Saints Pasadena cannot preach an anti-war sermon without being persecuted by Federal authorities, I dare say there is no longer any freedom of religion in these United States.
Tax exemption is a tricky matter; but John Marshal was correct in saying that "the power to tax is the power to destroy," and we all know it; which is why we have always erred on the side of letting crooks in religious garb get away with what looks very like a scam, rather than coming down hard on those who hold religious beliefs we don't agree with. All Saints Pasadena isn't even very radical in these matters. True, they once held an ordination ceremony in which their litany included the lines "Bounce through the mountains on beach balls!" as a proclamation of joy or something like that (I never have found anyone who can explain that line to me); but that hardly removes them from the protection of the First Amendment.
States have some rights regarding the regulation of religion, including the power to establish churches with a tax-paid clergy. This was well recognized by John Marshal at the time of McCullough v. Maryland. But Congress shall make no law means just that, and it includes laws that allow the IRS to persecute the very liberal parish of All Saints Pasadena.

ARRR! International Talk Like a Pirate Day
In a more serous vein: the Pope delivers a rather important lecture on reason and faith, and how religion that does not recognize the primary importance of reason -- In the Beginning was the Word -- is contrary to the very nature of God. In the course of that he quotes a Byzantine emperor who was near the end of his rope, who saw in Islam nothing of value and no adherence to the importance of reason. The issue is whether today's Islam puts revelation (the Koran) above all reason and observation.
I have heard no one in the Muslim community denounce the resulting reactions, in which Muslims demonstrate their commitment to reason and civilization by: calling for the assassination of the Pope; gunning down a nun on the steps of the free clinic she and her order operated; burning down churches.
I think Benedict may have made his point, and the Muslims are eagerly affirming it.
Religion without reason is theological nonsense, at least in the Christian tradition. When science and revelation are flatly contradictory, one or the other is mistaken. This is the essence of Aquinas, and is taught in Catholic religion classes the world over, or certainly was when I was in high school. When right reason and science appear to contradict revelation, we have mistaken what was revealed. Benedict has repeated a lesson long taught; as Samuel Johnson observed, men seldom need educating but they often need reminding.
The reaction of the Muslim community was predictable, although apparently Pope Benedict did not predict it. Or perhaps he did, but hoped he would be mistaken? For the conclusion seems inevitable.

I managed 1,000 words yesterday. More later.
If you live in New England you may or may not find this interesting:
There was an excellent essay in today's paper.
The entire essay is worth reading. Weigel raises the age old question, is good good because it is good, or is good good because God says so; or, put another way, is God good because that is His nature, or is God good because whatever God wills is by definition good?
The Thomistic tradition generates natural law: good exists and can be deduced from the nature of man. This follows much of the Classical tradition.
None of which is new to readers of this page, but it is well said, and well worth your time.
I am working on an essay on Iraq. Think bout this: do we want to win? How badly do we want to win?
In answer to several letters on the Harlan Ellison affair:
Which is certainly all that needs saying. I have seen no public statement from Connie Willis, so it appears that the furor comes from others who may or may not have conferred with her, but probably have not. The notion that Harlan, who expended a great deal of time and energy in support of the failed Equal Rights Amendment, is intellectually sexist is ludicrous. Those who think they have, from one incident in which Harlan was playing "Jeffty is Five", inferred something about "the inner Harlan" or his "true feelings" would, I think, have a poor case to make; it is certainly not obvious that they are correct, and there is an enormous body of evidence to the contrary. And that is more than enough on the subject.

Yesterday was no fun. I think I have a genuine sinus irritation and that plus the neck nerve false reports makes it harder to work than I much like. Ah well. The text Sunday had to do with taking up one's cross.
Reaction continues: the Muslims are now calling for the removal of the Pope, because he quoted a Byzantine Emperor who was watching as the Muslims, in the name of their peaceful religion, were reducing many of the fairest provinces of the Empire to waste and ruin. Now in an effort to show us how civilized they are, they shoot nuns on the steps of their clinics, burn churches, and call for the removal of the Pope; and if there is any opposition to this among the Muslims, it is hard to find. It is one thing to note that most cannot possibly feel this way; it is quite another to see that they either do not care to dissent, or are afraid to.
Civilizations do not fall to the power of enemies. They fall due to the timidity or lack of will of the defenders; or to both. The West appears to be both; few defend our defenders, further reducing their ranks. And in the name of diversity we invite the enemy within the gates, and even allow the enemy a turn at being keeper of the keys to the citadel.
We have sown the wind.
The LA Times today has a front page article which begins with the spinach crisis, but soon goes to more general and important matters.
Which, alas, is another illustration of Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy at work; as well as an illustration of Possony's Principle. The FDA inspection budget is no smaller now than in the 19070's; rather the opposite. But as the Agency expanded, and added to its personnel, the actual work it was founded to do -- to ensure purity of food and drugs -- contracted.
None of this should be astonishing.
More later. Michael is here to help me throw things away.
Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people: those who work to further the actual goals of the organization, and those who work for the organization itself. Examples in education would be teachers who work and sacrifice to teach children, vs. union representative who work to protect any teacher including the most incompetent. The Iron Law states that in all cases, the second type of person will always gain control of the organization, and will always write the rules under which the organization functions.
Possony's Principle states that left to themselves, civilizations devote more and more of their output to structure, and that this structure inevitably reduces the ability of the civilization to do anything including defend itself. It also states that some civilizations will decay through its working faster than others. The Iron Law and the Principle are clearly related in both simple and complex ways. [The late Stefan T. Possony and I developed this theory as part of a still incomplete work on The Strategy of Progress. Steve never gave this observation a name during his lifetime. In the decades since his death I have observed it in action and have concluded that this a major factor in the death of civilizations, and have given it this name. Note that this Principle was one of the assumptions of the Cold War Strategy of Containment explicated in The Protracted Conflict by Strausz-Hupe, Kintner, and Possony.

Excellent with kids
The only psychiatrist my child was comfortable talking to. It was wonderful to watch him interact with her. He made an accurate diagnosis of a medical condition which was causing my daughter's psychological problems, and she quickly recovered with proper treatment. We can't thank him enough. Hard to get an appointment, but definitely worth it!

Horrible experience in Research Dept.
My son participated in one of his research studies. When my son began experiencing adverse reactions I brought them to Dr. Changs attention. He dismissed my concerns and suggested family therapy. As the the negative effects worsened, still the recommendation was family therapy. The end result was my son intentionally hurting my daughter, and yet again family therapy was recommended. The side effects and adverse reactions were never adressed. After two days of contemplating, I decided to pull him out of the study. I tried to have him seen that day, but there was no room in his schedule. When I requested my son's records, my request was denied multiple times. I offered to speak with him about my request, but he just stated in his years at Stanford he has never released records. My call to the IRB to discuss my concern was never returned either.

Editor's note: The Spencer County Middle School recently had its annual science fair and sponsor Mike Jessee submitted the following thank you. The fair was rescheduled from its original Jan. 27 date to Feb. 3 due to inclement weather.
There are a lot of things that Taylorsville residents would probably like to be known for nationally. The annual Gourd Show, the historic Main Street corridor, the warm, inviting welcome you get when you come into town.
Sorry, Taylorsville.
Aside from the thousands of dollars this city has spent to brush up its tidy little streets, it looks like it is now nationally known for a cat overpopulation problem that has been blown far beyond the pages of your hometown paper, The Spencer Magnet.

I've never claimed to have all the answers, but I do have many questions about the world.
Some involve personal annoyances:
Why do so many people who go to Wal-Mart enter through the "Exit" doors and exit through the doors clearly marked "Enter?"
Why is it that so many gas stations now require you to prepay at the pump with your credit card, but then still make you go inside to get the receipt?
I'm a journalist, and a journalist loves to follow a good story. But it's never necessarily fun to find out there are active methamphetamine production labs in the community that you grew up in and still love.
This week the Magnet featured a cover story highlighting five individuals who were arrested by Kentucky State Police last Tuesday evening for allegedly manufacturing meth in the Ridgeview neighborhood located on the Spencer/Bullitt County line.
Have you noticed a sticky substance on the floor beneath your ficus or philodendron? Are there little scabs on the under side of the leaves of your orchid? Maybe you have noticed that your plants just look a little lack luster. Well, we can blame some plant puniness on being a tropical houseplant indoors in Kentuckiana during the winter.
Soon you'll be receiving seed catalogs for the 2011 vegetable-growing season. While listening to the cold wind blow outside, what a comfort it is to think about spring and summer and planning your garden.

text: Monday, November 05, 2007 Washington (ANI): Hotel heiress Paris Hilton threatened to sue the manager of an adult video store in Toronto, Canada, after she found posters of herself promoting her infamous sex tape in the store. According to CCTV footage placed online by TMZ.com, Hilton is seen visiting the porn store, where she can be witnessed attempting to disguise herself in a black hooded top with a skeleton design on the front. The footage features the socialite checking out a display of posters featuring her image and her 1 Night In Paris sex tape. Hilton then confronted the store employees and threatened them that she would take legal action for copyright infringement. She is also seen ripping off the posters and demanding the complete removal of her display. I really want those taken down, because you guys cant use my image in a porn store, so youve got to take those down. Im gonna call my lawyer now to sue the s**t out of this place, Contactmusic quoted Hilton, as saying. I really want them down because this is mean and its not right. Im really furious; this is disgusting. I want them taken down now or Im calling my f**king lawyer, she added.

West Virginia players turn locker room into pro wrestling ring
West Virginia football players revealed their passion for another "full contact" sport in a new video that shows the team engaged in an all out Royal Rumble-style brawl.
The guys seem to have all the moves down, from the wild haymakers that miss by a foot to using a crutch as a weapon and even some impressive finishing moves.
While the NFL may not be in all these players' futures, Vince McMahon should offer them an open invitation to step into the squared circle.
• Hunter Pence leads Giants in 'YES' chant
It is too bad the NCAA only recognizes amateur wrestling teams, because it seems intercollegiate pro wrestling could get far better ratings.

Dannii Minogue
Checking out all the star-studded action, Kylie and Dannii Minogue headed over to the 2014 BRIT Awards at the O2 Arena in London, England this evening (February 19).
The talented sisters came ready to have a smashing good time and caught up with their fellow celebrities while fans and shutterbugs snapped up pictures.
Her son Ethan just turned three, but now Dannii Minogue admits she's been struggling with confidence since giving birth.
In the September 2013 issue of InStyle Australia
Before making an appearance as a judge for "Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model," Tyson Beckford scored a feature in the July 2013 issue of Cosmopolitan.
The 42-year-old model showed off his biceps and perfect abs for the Antonio Petronzio-spread and revealed his secrets to maintaining his flawless physique.
With her new movie "Run" set to hit theaters on August 9th, Dannii Minogue garnered herself a little added exposure by covering the September 2012 issue of Glamour UK magazine.
The 40-year-old Australian beauty rocked a range of colorful ensembles for the David Gubert shot spread while dishing about topics including Simon Cowell, "The X Factor" and future plans.
While they were an item for quite the long stretch, Dannii Minogue and rugby player Kris Smith have ended their relationship after four years of togetherness.
After having denied rumors of a split last year, reports of troubled waters emerged again on Tuesday (April 3) - with the now former couple, who share a toddler son named Ethan, confirming the sad news to be true.
Held as a way to recognize excellence and innovation across all genres of Australian music, the 2011 ARIA Awards were the place to be in Sydney, Australia on Sunday (November 27).
The annual event went down at Allphones Arena with a long line of stars working the red carpet press area before heading inside for the Land Down Under ceremony.
Arriving as the guest of honor, Dannii Minogue was spotted making her way into a baby shower in Toorak, Melbourne on Saturday (May 29).
Joined by her boyfriend, Kris Smith, the Aussie singer looked beautiful in an orange dress as she made her way into Michael Gudinski's home.
Kylie Minogue was the center of attention on Monday night (October 29), as she was honored with a prestigious British music industry award at the Grosvenor Hotel in London.
The Australian pop singer-songwriter was presented with the Music Industry Trust's Award in "recognition of her universally acclaimed status as an icon of pop and style achieved over a 20-year career, which has seen her reinvent, experiment and inspire."
It's not every day that a girl gets to wear $1 million worth of Swarovski crystals on a Dolce & Gabbana gown. But Kylie Minogue wore it well at the world premiere of her documentary "White Diamonds."
"Diamonds" is the two-hour saga of the Aussie singer's battle back to normalcy after being diagnosed with breast cancer. And during the film, Minogue was either in stitches or tears.
With the overwhelming success of the reality TV series "X Factor" you gotta wonder where Simon Cowell and Dannii Minogue get their chemistry.
According to the Aussie singer, she's definitely into the British stud and they keep the sexual tension high on the show by being huge flirts. And Minogue revealed that the competition between herself and her fellow judge is as fierce as anything on the show.

The third interim report of the presidential committee on audit of Defence from 2007 to 2015 was released on Thursday night by President Muhammadu Buhari, showing once again humongous, heartless rape of our country by Senior military officers, defence contractors and civil servants who collaborated with the pen robbers.
According to a statement by the President of the Presidential Committee on the Audit of Defence Equipment Procurement in the Armed Forces, AVM Jon Ode found that the two companies collected N5,103,500,000.00 representing 86% of the total value of the 3 contracts worth N5,940,000,000.00, but only performed to the tune of N2,992,183,705.31.
In another instance, two contracts were awarded to Baram International Nigeria Limited, amounting to N420,726,799.20 for the procurement of 53 Armoured Vehicles Spare Parts at the cost of N169,916,849.77 and that of Ballistic Vests, Night Vision Binoculars and 3 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles at the cost of N250,809,949.50. Sadly, the contract worth N169,916,849.77 with 90 days completion time is yet to be completed 5 years after.
Similarly, between 29 April 2005 and 19 October 2010, the MOD awarded 2 contracts to Progress Limited for the supply of 42 units of BTR-3U Armoured Personnel Carriers and spare parts for the Nigerian Army. However, neither the MOD nor the NA could provide the contract agreements to ascertain the cost of the APCs.
Although 26 of the APCs were delivered in 2007 and immediately deployed for Peace Keeping Operations in Sudan, the APCs scandalously broke down on induction. The Committee observed that the APCs did not meet the operational requirement for the Army, caused Nigeria international embarrassment and deprived her appropriate reimbursement from the United Nations.
With respect to contracts awarded directly by the Nigerian Army, the Committee found that many of the contracts were characterized by lack of due process, in breach of extant procurement regulations and tainted by corrupt practices. In this regard, a review of the procurement carried out by Chok Ventures Ltd and Integrated Equipment Services Ltd established that between March 2011 and December 2013, the 2 companies exclusively procured various types of Toyota and Mitsubishi vehicles worth over N3,000,000,000.00 for the Nigerian Army without any competitive bidding. Though the Committee found no credible evidence of delivery of the vehicles, the vendors were fully paid based on job completion certificate authenticated by the then Chief of Logistics.
Also, analyses of the various banks accounts of the two companies showed transfers to individuals related to the then Chief of Army Staff.
The Committee also noted that between 3 September 2014 and 30 April 2015, NIMASA funded accounts of the Joint Task Force Operation Pulo Shield with various sums totalling N8,542,586,798.58 purportedly to enhance operations of the Joint Task Force in the Niger Delta. Analyses of the accounts of the Joint Task Force showed that transfers totalling N6,277,698,885.13 were made from the account. The then JTF Commander could not justify these transfers but confirmed that the sums were changed into dollars and handed over to a private citizen. Additionally, he could not account for the balance of N2,264,887,914.45.

A Poem For My Beer - Poem by Simon Odhiambo
I have never seen you before like this
correct me if I owe you a know
When you wear a dress so clear
You change your name to suit
Your contents may be half today
But I know you are ready to go
I see your sister there
Brown and sometimes green attire
In brown and in green you pose
Sometimes your dress is clear in red
I long to hold you close
You insist on a kiss to floss
You sweat and like it thus
Not for heat but for loving chill
Shaking is not allowed for you
Or else you will lose your frothing head
And now I say this only prayer
As you come and meet my lips
I shake and make a gulp
You reduce but keep a stare
I sip and shake my head
Your contents will make me swear
At last you fill me bare
I hate the way you wear
This road was one before (hic!)
Now two they seem to pair
Between you my dear beer
And the poem am yet to write(hic! hic!)
Who was first to creat a rhyme?
I say this simple prayer
Beer is not my simple share
I think I like this square
where beer is not a ware

Resolutions are hard when inside there's a civil war.
Sunday, February 24, 2013
I woke up in stage ten anxiety/stress mode this morning.
I have no idea why or what was the initial trigger. I tried staying in bed till I could calm myself down, stretches, music, etc... but nothing was helping. I was feeling myself spiral down into this deep sense of irritation and uncontrollables. I proceeded with my day - made breakfast, poked around on SP, turned on some acoustic music, but still I couldn't shake it. I wanted to scream and cry all at once and was furious that I couldn't figure out why (I like to solve things)
So I went to the gym and worked my a$$ off.
Damn did it feel good. I hopped on an elliptical, blared some of my favorite music, put the intensity up, and flew threw a whopping 400 calories in 30 minutes. I moved into some calmer activities from there - stretching, walking, taking deep breathes - and felt so much better afterwards. I still don't know what was eating me this morning (note that I did not eat back). I know what broke my patience and brought me to the gym, but that's never the heart of the issue.
I've recovered since this AM and found something productive to do with my anxiety on a non-work day. Now if only I could go outside and run around the block when students have reached my last nerve... I like to think this is my first stress buster personal challenge.
* * * * *
While I was there (on the elliptical working through unrequited rage) it reminded me of all the times I would enter the pool as a teenager (and later in college) when I was mad. During practice I would tear through the workout and eventually one of my team mates would say, "feel better now?". It was always a chance to decompress in an intense way (I can be, admittedly, intense). Since college I've suppressed a lot of those qualities (and my swimming), which is where I believe food has come into play as an outlet for me.
That being said I realize how much I miss swimming and at the same time am so mad at myself for letting all that go ( I was a competitive swimmer for 18 years). At one time I was training for the marathon swim around Manhattan and now I don't think I could confidently bust out a 500 free within even two minutes of my personal best. This has led me to some honest reflection: I've been trying the C25K program to no avail because I just don't enjoy it. I find the treadmill intimidating, outdoor running unappealing, and the burning sensation in my shins unpleasant at the very least. So I'm going to listen to my heart and return to the pool. In the same vein, I want to pursue yoga. Stretching soothes me, as does core strength attained beyond a weight machine.
Now I just need to shut my brain off and stop making excuses...
