ZEPHYRHILLS — Alfred "Catfish" White waited for the end with a Pepsi and a Marlboro Red on the back porch of his lady's house. He knew she called the cops. She'd been threatening to do that since she found out he's been dodging the law for nearly 14 years on a warrant for escape.
"Do it," he told her.
It was about 4 a.m. Wednesday at her place on Eighth Street. They hadn't been together all that long; about five or six months. When they met, he swore he'd never get in another relationship again. His last girlfriend, he says, skipped out while he was in the hospital after a stroke and a heart attack; took his house and his Harley and left him with $4.24. He was done. He was just going to keep on traveling, keep on riding. Be his own boss. But here he was. Again.
He was tired.
White, 57, could have fled, like he always did. He walks slow now.
"I'm done running," he thought.
• • •
On the afternoon of March 1, 1997, White and his buddy, Earl, had a few beers after a construction job. According to White, he was headed east on State Road 54 when a truck pulled out in front of them.
"I tried to avoid it," White told the Times on Friday during an interview at the Pasco jail.
White's van hit the truck. Earl's front teeth were knocked out, he said. White's ribs were cracked.
"We were messed up," he said.
White's license had been suspended and he smelled of alcohol, a court document states.
White was "unable to perform field sobriety tests due to his injuries," the report states.
He was handcuffed and put into a cruiser.
"They handcuffed me in front and left the door open," White said. "They did everything wrong, man."
So he ran.
He said he was caught again about nine hours later. He wouldn't say where he went or how he got the handcuffs off. He doesn't want to incriminate anyone who helped him. He was charged with DUI, escape, driving on a suspended license and petty theft, for taking the handcuffs with him.
He spent his brief stint on the lam boozing.
"I was hurt," he said.
White said he was taken to Spring Hill Regional Hospital, where he spent a few days recovering. Then, the hospital released him.
"You can go," he said a nurse told him.
"No, man, I'm under arrest," he recalled saying.
"There's nobody at your door," White said the nurse told him. "You can go."
So he did.
He said he called his lawyer and called the Florida Highway Patrol — the agency that arrested him — to see what he should do. He said no one gave him an answer. And he wasn't going to beg to go to jail.
So he visited his brother in New York, where he's known as "Whitey" rather than "Catfish." He hung out with a cousin in California. His nickname there is "Refrigerator." He doesn't know why.
These years as a fugitive have been good years, he said. He dated beautiful women. He claims to have partied with Burt Reynolds and Gregg Allman.
"I've done amazing things," said White, who has long, wild auburn hair that is graying and an overgrown horseshoe mustache. He broke his back twice, he said, from motorcycle crashes.
"See this scar here?" he said, lifting his chin. He said someone tried to slit his throat and missed, jamming the knife through his chin, his tongue, the roof of his mouth. The tip poked through his nose.
"Right here," he said, pointing.
He wouldn't say why someone would want to kill him.
He said he has a daughter, who is 29 and lives in New York. He said his great-great-grandfather was an American Indian, and White has a huge portrait of him tattooed on his back. He's going to have that tattoo sliced off his back after he dies and put in a frame for his daughter for her to hang "on a wall," he said. He doesn't think this is odd.
He said he was picked up in New York in 2000 on a traffic stop and the officer ran his name, found the escape warrant and called Pasco County.
"They said, 'Cut him loose. We don't want him,' " White said. "So I thought everything was cleared up."
That's why he felt safe enough to come back to Florida. He knew he had the warrant. But he figured nobody cared.
• • •
The only thing he regrets is this last girlfriend.
"She snitched me out," he said Friday. He'd been sitting in jail for two days. He wasn't as Zen about getting picked up as he was when it happened. He felt trapped. His bail is set at $15,000, but he said he doesn't have that kind of money. He felt alone.
"I was the best there ever was and almost got away with it," he said.
He sighed.
"Oh well," he said. "Maybe some day I'll be out there again, slapping the blacktop." He fiddled with his inmate identification badge. It was highlighted in red and said "RISK."

February 3rd, 2014 (InsideCostaRica.com) Mario Vanucci, an astrologer known by millions in Latin America as well as latinos in the United States from his regular appearances on Telemundo, predicted a runoff election between ruling party candidate, Johnny Araya and centrist Luis Guillermo Solis in an interview last week with CRHoy.com, saying at the time that his prediction was based on the charts of both candidates.
After yesterday's elections, the astrologer seemed to support Solis, in statements made to CRHoy.
"…[Solis] is the one I like: I think he is a great guy and would make a very good president," Vanucci said.
Vanucci also described Broad Front – the party of Jose Maria Villalta – as "a Latin American phenomenon that relies on social resentment," adding that he applauded Costa Rica for its "intelligence and civility, and ability to see the good and the bad and make smart decisions."

I am a Ronin. Not just any Ronin, however. I am one who had single-handedly slain my former master and all those who dared to stand in my way. He was a corrupt, despicable man who treated those of lower class as if they were the scum he excreted. Taking money from the poor, kicking children down, and even slaying men and women without good reason.
He was trash. So I did what I thought was right.
Now, far from home, in the easter region of japan, a dojo resides. As I pass it by, I give it my utmost attention and decide to pay it a visit. The master of the dojo welcomes me kindly, but he knows my face. He tells me that, as unfortunate as it is, Ronin are not allowed to be taken up as students. He gives me a smile and tells me that I am free to watch the students train, however.
I took him up on it and followed him in. I feel the gazes of many students trained on me. I was recognized by the students as well.
Just as I move to seat myself against the far wall of the dojo, a young man with a bamboo sword approaches me and tells me that a Ronin has no right to be anywhere near a dojo. I remain silent, not bothering to give reaction to his words. All I want is a bit of rest before I resume my travels. He refuses to budge, however.
I look up at him and catches his condescending stare. I become curious as to how much, or how little, he knows of me. Does he not know how I became a Ronin? Is he, perhaps, the son of a lord?
As if he were answering my question, he challenges me to a duel. He seems to only know that I am a Ronin. I accept his challenge.
With a bamboo sword, borrowed from one of the students, I engage him. The surprise in his eyes are evident throughout the his endeavor. The duel is quite fleeting, only lasting for a few brief moments.
I stand the victor, while the ignorant student lies beaten upon the ground. I return the bamboo sword to the student kind enough to lend it to me and walk back to the far end of the room.
As soon as I seat myself, the master of the dojo orders the students to resume and they obediently oblige.
I have now given first-hand experience of my skill to one of them and proof of my feats upon becoming a Ronin become doubtless. They now know the honest truth.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Perfect song. Ronin warrior introduced it to me, of course. Fantastic in the atmosphere it creates, superb and sublime in the mood it captures.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I don't normally take time to write reviews out for audio submissions but I just had to for this one! The Oriental theme has been one I've tried to create for quite a time and here you have mastered it greatly! This song is great, calming, relaxing, and authentic. It has everything a dojo/meditation theme needs! Very well done. (If you wouldn't mind, could you tell me what you used in this song? Thanks).
10/10 From Artist to Artist

seems to reminf of the koto soundfont on synthfont
very good ( and i mean it is good) i like the incorporation of the woodwind into the use of all the strings, ive noticed that in some work the strings can overpower wind instruments and that makes for sad listnens.mmhmm good job very good
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Ahh so this is a dojo...
I could really imagine being in a dojo, just relaxing, drinking some tea. I think the flute in the background is a Shinobue (which I am currently learning). Good Job!

I know C Smith said he was taking the plunge. Anyone else? I ordered, but it won't arrive till mid July. I'm curious if we'll all need to work from external monitors until the apps are updated to see our videos at the proper - non pixel doubled resolution.
I mainly ordered it for the dual thunderbolts and USB 3 - to essentially go mobile and replace my aging mac pro tower - didn't give much thought to resolution issues until I started reading reviews and blogs on it.

Edinburgh Festival is actually a host of festivals in the summer that celebrate art, books, politics, music, theatre, dance, food, spirituality and pretty much everything in between.
Edinburgh Festival is a singular event most accurately referred to in the plural. In the general vicinity of August a host of festivals come to town covering art, books, politics, music, theatre, dance, food, spirituality and multiculturalism and pretty much everything in between. Events include anything from a Mozart-penned mass at the neo-gothic St Mary's Cathedral, avant-garde modern dance, Dizzee Rascal and more comedians than you could poke a rubber chicken at.
The highest concentrations of performers and people are in the Old Town. At the western end of the Royal Mile is the Castle, temporary home to the insanely popular Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo (7-29 Aug). At the eastern end is Holyrood Castle and Holyrood Park where the Foodies Festival (13-15 Aug) and Festival Cavalcade (8 Aug) are held. At this time of year, walking from one to the other will probably involve negotiating four jugglers, two unicyclists, a retro-clad maiden doing light operatics and a local who's trying make a quid from her world-record number of body-piercings. There is also tartan, whisky and (very probably) rain. Meanwhile, seagulls the size of winged chihuahuas stare malevolently down from steepled sandstone spires.
Some of the most popular festivals are the Edinburgh International Festival (13 Aug-5 Sep), the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (6-30 Aug) and the PHB's Free Fringe 2010 (8-29 Aug). For music lovers there is the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival (30 Jul-8 Aug), art-aficionados should visit the Edinburgh Art Festival (29 Jul-5 Sep), while bibliophiles will not want to miss the Edinburgh Book Festival (14-30 Aug).
Fire and ice
The Royal Bank of Scotland Fireworks (Queens Street Gardens, 5 Sep) marks the moment when it is time to take off the party hat. More than 10,000 fireworks explode above the Castle and cascade downs its walls, choreographed to live music. Prime viewing is from the Princes Street Gardens, which is ticketed, but you and up to 200,000 others can enjoy it for free from various points around the city. A view of the north face of the castle is best.
Fireworks feature heavily in Hogmanay, Edinburgh's famous New Year's Eve celebrations, as well. In 2011, a procession of torch carriers including the Up Helly Aa' Vikings from Shetland is also planned, making a river of fire flowing up Calton Hill.
Pyromaniacs can also get a mid-year fix at the Beltane Fire Festival on Calton Hill (30 April) where Edinburgh celebrates its Celtic roots with the Green Man, the May Queen, dancing, and large balls of fire being swung about on ropes.
Art and art galleries are integral to Edinburgh. Galleries are well patronised by locals as well as visitors, and with the exception of the occasional special exhibition, they are free. The National Gallery Complex on The Mound includes the National Gallery and the Royal Scottish Academy. The National Portrait Gallery, also central, is due to reopen in November 2011 after a major refurbishment. To the west of the city centre, the collections at the Gallery of Modern Art and the Dean Gallery take a more contemporary take and include artists such as Warhol and Miró. A path from the rear of the gallery leads down the banks of the Water of Leith, which is home to one of the Gallery's of Modern Art's most recent commissions, Anthony Gormley's 6 Times. This comprises 6 life-size cast-iron figures which follow the path of the river from the Gallery to the where the river joins the sea in Leith.
Smaller galleries worth a visit include Inverleith House in the Royal Botanic Gardens, the Ingleby and Talbot Rice Gallery at Edinburgh University.
Ghouls & graveyards
Strange happenings in the dark are another Edinburgh tradition, and the dramatic landscape and the ornate mix of medieval, Georgian and Victorian architecture provide the perfect setting for it. The Edinburgh Dungeons, a range of ghost and graveyard tours, and a genuinely creepy display of torturer's tools at the National Museum of Scotland keep the tradition alive. Mary King's Close is haunted by anecdotes, although the stories of people being sealed alive in the Close during the plague have been long discounted.
The first City of Literature
Authors past and present figure prominently in Edinburgh. Literary lions born or based there include Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Conan Doyle and Muriel Spark, as well as JK Rowling, Ian Rankin, Alexander McCall Smith and Irvine Welsh. Literary pub tours, literary walking tours, and no shortage of good bookshops cater for bibliophiles. In 2004 Edinburgh was appointed the first Unesco City of Literature, and the Edinburgh Book Festival (14-29 August) continues to thrive. The Writers' Museum and the Scottish Storytelling Centre are also easily accessible from the Royal Mile. Further down the hill the Scottish Poetry Library is home to a vast selection of poetry books and pamphlets, and poets feature in regular evening events.
Fine dining in Scotland
While the rest of the UK is telling old jokes about Scottish cuisine, Edinburgh has been quietly establishing itself as a haven of fine dining. There is plenty of good quality Indian, French and Thai to be had, and a good smattering of Italian. Where Edinburgh really excels, though, is in menus prepared with locally sourced produce. Five of Edinburgh's restaurants were given stars in the 2010 Michelin Guide: Martin Wishart, The Kitchin and Plumed Horse down in waterside Leith, and Restaurant 21212 and Number One in the city centre.
How to
In August Edinburgh's population doubles and prices for accommodation follow suit. Book early to avoid sleeping in the park. Thankfully, festivals events are well organised and easy to book either online or in person. Programs and flyers are everywhere, and The Hub and the Fringe Shop on the Royal Mile are there to help. Remember that "The Official Edinburgh Festivals Map", which is free and has venues marked, is your best friend. It is best and probably quickest to get around the main Festivals venues on foot. Beyond that, there is an excellent bus network, which will carry you around all day for £3.20. Official Edinburgh Festivals Website: www.edinburghfestivals.co.uk.

ONLY one in five new households being formed in Sydney are opting for a traditional detached home that once defined the Australian dream, as high housing costs and changing preferences reshape how the city lives.
Expensive housing has also contributed to a rise in the number of Sydney homes sheltering more than one family. In 1991 the city had just 12,500 multi-family households but that figure ballooned to 40,000 in 2011, analysis of census data by the research firm Macromonitor has revealed.
For most of the 20th century the average number of people per household was in decline, but that trend has reversed. Between 2006 and 2011 people per occupied dwelling in Sydney rose from 2.81 to 2.88, the highest ratio since 1996. This ratio is likely to keep rising over the next decade, according to forecasts.
Nigel Hatcher, an economist and director of Macromonitor, said the cost of property was driving the trend.
"It's basically a function of worsening affordability of housing - that forces changes in all sorts of areas," he said. "As housing has become less affordable, and supply has been constrained, people have changed their behaviour and modified their expectations. That means higher density housing and more people living under the same roof."
A growing preference to live near the CBD and greater acceptance of high-density living have also played a part.
Detached housing made up 69 per cent of all new dwellings occupied in Sydney between 1986 and 1991. That dropped to 35 per cent between 1996 and 2001 and then to just 19 per cent in the five years to 2011.
In another sign that housing costs are changing household formation patterns, the number of Sydney share houses has grown much faster than the city's population for a decade and the average number of people in those group houses is on the rise. The census also revealed a marked increase in the number of individuals living with other families - including boarders - over the five years to 2011.
Meanwhile, the number of single-person households in Sydney, which had risen steadily for more than two decades, fell between 2006 and 2011.
The shifting household trends follow Sydney's property boom, which peaked in 2004. Between mid-1996 and mid-2004 the city's median house price rose by 160 per cent and, despite relatively modest price growth since
then, property values remain high compared with average incomes. The census underscored the high cost of housing in Sydney, with median rents and mortgage repayments well above the national average.
Sydney's proportion of flats and medium density housing differentiates it from other Australian cities. The census showed only 58.9 per cent of Sydney's dwellings were detached houses. The national average is almost 74 per cent; in Perth and Brisbane it is more than 76 per cent; in Melbourne 71 per cent.
The Canada Bay council area, which has a high proportion of medium and high density housing, was Sydney's fastest growing local government area in the five years to 2011.
Mr Hatcher said the changes in household formation behaviour meant demand for housing would be lower than estimated. "Changes in household formation patterns only have to be incremental to significantly affect the annual demand for new housing," he said. "The shortage of housing is now less than we previously thought," he said.

Are white freckles on the skin caused by the sun? I have 1 mm white dots on my skin and was diagnosed with white freckles and something called Skin Changes. What are white freckles and Skin Changes and how is it treated? I have many of the white freckles and wanted to know if bleaching the rest of my skin the same color as the white freckles is an option?
I am 35-years-old and I'm a woman. I don't have any itching with the white spots. I do have dry skin and no peeling skin. I have asthma and schizophrenia and taking anti-psychotics. I have had the white dots for 8 years and I am always getting new ones.
Hello,Thanks for providing more information.
The white spots/freckles on the skin can be due to post inflammatory hypopigmentation, vitiligo, p versicolor.The treatments depends on the underlying cause however you can apply cream called Melgain lotion on the white spots at night and expose to sunlight the next day in the morning for 10 minutes.
It is also important to keep your skin protected from the sun and use an SPF 50+ sunscreen in the morning and afternoon at least.
Anti-psychotic medications for long term use can also result in skin changes as well.
So consult your doctor or dermatologist for a clinical examination for further evaluation and management.
I hope this helps.If you have any further query then feel free to ask.Positive feedback and bonus are highly appreciated.Thank you.
Is bleaching the rest of my skin an option some people choose? Can I just bleach the rest of my skin, similar to what they do to Vitiligo patients that want to depigment their skin?

EMERGENCY loan signing Ian McLoughlin says he didn't even know the names of his teammates when he made his Newport County AFC debut last week, writes Andrew Penman.
The MK Dons goalkeeper, on loan at Rodney Parade until April 9, conceded four goals in his first start for the Exiles at Morecambe after Tom Naylor's red card.
He was much happier following Sunday's 1-1 home draw with Exeter City, however, and says the thrashing at Morecambe acted as a reality check for the squad.
"We were happy with a point against Exeter," said McLoughlin. "Coming back from 1-0 down we showed a bit of grit and determination and we hadn't shown enough of that at Morecambe.
"That game was a kick up the backside for the lads. We need to think about relegation before we start thinking about the play-offs, which is the main objective.
"A few more wins and we should be alright and then we can kick on and look towards the play-offs.
"But I don't think we turned up that night and it was tough for me coming in on loan the day before I didn't really know the lads.
"I didn't really know who wanted the ball and who just wants to defend but we've bonded a bit now; I know their names now so that helps!"
The former Irish under-21 international is not sure how long he'll remain at the club but he will be between the sticks again tonight against Dagenham & Redbridge as regular County stoppers Jamie Stephens and Lenny Pidgeley are not yet ready to return.
Stephens has suffered a setback in his recovery from a thigh strain and may now require an operation.
And Exiles' number one Lenny Pidgeley (ankle) is still a week or two away from returning to full fitness.
"I don't know how long I'll be here," said McLoughlin. "I'm here because they need me to be here and I need to play games and I'm enjoying it because there are plenty of games coming quickly.
"I'm aiming to help the team as much as I can and if the gaffer wants me to be here longer then great. If not then I'll go back to MK Dons and fight for my place there."

This work opens up the subject of perhaps the most profound of Buddhist Tantras, The Guhyasamajatantra by shedding light on its relation with previous literature including the Brahmanical tradition and by revealing the elevates type of Yoga. It goes far toward replacing the previous supposition that this Tantra can be understood by mere reading by one oblivious of the extensive commentarial tradition that incorporates the precepts of the Gurus.
The author has used the edited Sanskrit texts, the Pradipoddyotana Ms, the relevant and Tanjur, and thirteen Tibetan in the Kanjur and Tanjur, and thirteen Tibetan works on the Tantra by Tsong-kha-pa, founder of the Gelugpa sect of Tibetan Buddhism. First he presents the forty Nidan verses that were quoted in Sanskrit in the Pradipoddyotana, and the chapters Six and Twelve of the basic Tantra with some commentarial exposition. Then he initiates the reader into the Tantra by various introductions including a translation of the Guhyasamaja Aksobhyamandala. There follows a remarkable synthetic commentary on the forty Nidana verses that go with the first 40 syllables of the Tantra. The special teaching of four-stage Yoga is continued into appendices that develop the practical side.
Alex Wayman, now Professor Emeritus of Sanskrit, Columbia University, New York is in the forefront of Western Buddhist Scholarship by his series of books in both Tantric and non-tantric Buddhism based on over forty years of researches. He employs both the Sanskrit and Tibetan languages in his books and articles. He has authored well over a hundred-fifty articles for professional journals and honorary type volumes in various countries and in recent years almost exclusively by invitation. His authorship of various seminal works on Buddhist Tantra ensures that the present collection of tantric essays conform to high standards of authoritative text and dependable citations.

The Becky Slouch Beret
This pattern is available from etsy.com for $5.00.
Who doesn't love a slouchy beret, especially when knit from that little bit of luxury yarn you've stashed away for a special project? This casual topper is worked up in an uncomplicated knit & purl pattern, creating a surprising amount of texture for such simple stitches.
The hat pictured was knit from the now discontinued Sugarbunny yarn from Knit Picks, which is 70% wool and 30% angora, but any lovely, soft, squishy worsted or heavier dk weight yarn will do. Cashmere would be my suggestion!
This pattern includes sizing for both children and adults-- so one for you and one for that sweet girl in your life, too. Enjoy!

AN AMBULANCE worker was kicked in the face after responding to a 999 call, in the latest in a series of attacks against staff in the north west.
The female ambulance technician was attending to a drunk woman in the back of her vehicle in Blackburn, when the patient became aggressive and 'kicked out' at her, police said.
The 38-year-old technician suffered bruising to her face and needed hospital treatment.
This latest incident comes after three North West Ambulance Service crew members were assaulted on New Year's Eve, while two paramedics were held hostage at knifepoint for 90 minutes in Salford on Thursday morning.
Statistics suggest attacks on ambulance staff have increased sharply in recent years, and a special committee has been set up to tackle the issue in the north west.
Russ McLean, chairman of the Pennine Lancashire Patient Voices Group, said: "People who assault any public servant in the operation of their duty are complete morons as far as I'm concerned. Our ambulance crews are saving lives every day and what they certainly don't need is people attacking them. This is really worrying and I just hope it won't prevent anyone from wanting to be a paramedic."
A spokesman for NWAS said the ambulance crew had responded to a 999 call at an address in Burnley at 11.10am on Wednesday for a patient complaining of fainting and unconsciousness.
The spokesman would not provide a more specific location, however, citing patient confidentiality.
The assault took place while the vehicle was parked at Royal Blackburn Hospital, according to Lancashire Police.
Last year, the Lancashire Telegraph revealed there had been 200 physical assaults on north west ambulance staff in the six-month period to October, including 21 incidents in East Lancashire, the third highest figure in the region.
Directly comparable figures were not available, but a report by NHS Protect said there were 268 incidents over the whole year from April 2010 to March 2011, which was a 50 per cent increase on the previous year.
Steve Rice, branch secretary for the GMB union at NWAS, said: "These incidents have always been a concern and there's anecdotal evidence that they are on the increase.
"It's a difficult one but we are in talks with management about ways we can alleviate this and have recently set up a special committee to look at it."
Ian Walmsley, NWAS sector manager, said: "We are currently investigating the incident and are, of course, working with the police to ensure that the person responsible is prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
"Violence and aggression of any kind towards our staff will not be tolerated. NWAS fully supports staff members who become victims of assault and encourages them to report incidents to the police."
Lancashire Police said a 60-year-old woman from Brierfield was due to be interviewed in relation to Wednesday's incident, but she had not been arrested.

The ship finally raised all three sails and gained greater speed. We went after them for over an hour to no avail. Finally we had to give up and turn back. I was certain I had disappointed my relative and I felt heavyhearted. Later, I received a letter from her. She had returned to her home village. She said that my attempt that day to catch up to them to give them food had touched the captain and all the passengers. They all shared their own food with her family. My attempt had gained her their respect. The passengers on the boat were shouting at me to go back because they wanted to let me know that they would themselves take care of my relative and her children. They took care of her, because they saw that she was cared for by someone else. This episode will always stay with me. It shows how care can restore and even create dignity, which, once created, begets more care.
MM: Is there a similar experience that guided your gaze towards caring for the terminally ill cancer patients and the creation of the hospice system?
LKS: There is. In 1997, a good friend of mine was, as it turned out, in the last stages of his struggle with cancer. He was wealthy, and he could afford the best health care. He was interned at one of the best hospitals in Hong Kong. But he was still in horrible pain, after surgery and chemotherapy. The pain was unbearable. He was alone with this pain, in spite of all the support he had received. On the last day on which I saw him, he took my hand at the end, and he would not let it go. Afterwards, I thought: "If someone of means and benefitting from all this support suffers like this, then how is it for those that have no means at all? How is it for those who cannot afford any care?" That is when the idea of the project came to me. And now it is alive.
MM: Is the Foundation's commitment to supporting educational projects also connected to your concern for furthering human dignity?
LKS: I think it is. While my father was ill with tuberculosis, I remember buying a book on the disease and reading from it, to understand more. I was for a while terrified that I had myself contracted the disease, as the symptoms the book was describing were similar to what I was experiencing. I did not become ill, but I kept reading. Not being able to attend school regularly, I kept going back to an old book shop, trading in the latest book I had and a bit of extra money for a 'new' used book.
I worked hard to build my own knowledge system. I remember that as a young manager, I came home after long work days and took private language lessons from 10 to 11 p.m., then studied hard for hours afterwards. This willingness to learn something new served me well in my job – I was promoted because I had skills. I formed a belief that knowledge and the learning that comes with it can change a person's destiny. It can make him or her autonomous and robust – these skills will be useful to others in many contexts.
MM: Your vantage point as the builder of the two Foundations, one in Canada and one in Hong Kong, is unique in that it gives you a vista on the particular points of confluence and divergence of the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, of East and West. Are there particular points of tension or opportunities for dialogue and collaboration that you perceive from this lookout?
LKS: The main areas of focus of the activities of the two foundations – education and health care – are meant to span and bridge differences. Knowledge and education can change a young person's destiny, health care promotes and restores human dignity, and medical research makes possible the new and better forms of care. There are differences, yes, but perhaps not conflicts.Report Typo/Error

Among a busy day for the Cubs, one of the biggest headlines came in their decision not to tender an offer to third baseman Ian Stewart. Chicago's opening day starter is now eligible for free agency, as the team will look elsewhere for someone who can man the hot corner. Stewart battled a wrist injury is his only year with the Cubs, batting .205.
The news was not all that surprising, seeing as how the team certainly needs to find a permanent replacement for Aramis Ramierez. One third baseman the Cubs did decide to keep during the arbitration process was Luis Valbuena, who had some solid playing time last season. It is possible that Chicago could be content with keeping Valbuena at third, although it still remains likely they will sign one before 2013.
Stewart was joined on the non-tendered list by Zach Putnam and Jaye Chapman, who will also now have the ability to enter free agency. Putnam was on the team for less than a month after being claimed by the Cubs on November 2nd. Chapman appeared in 14 games last season, posting a 3.75 ERA.

Igniting Men's Evolution.
Turning Relationship Challenges into Evolutionary Opportunities.
I'm here to guide highly motivated men eager to create thriving relationships and awaken power, clarity, passion and purpose. And, to help couples turn your relationship challenges into evolutionary opportunities and satisfying loving.
I specialize in quick, clear, incisive pinpointing of the core organization of your personality that is running and limiting your life and relationships, so you get to the bottom of things right away. You quickly come to understand the evolutionary opportunities presented by your relationship and life challenges, and get clear guidance for how to apply proven methods to work with them effectively. You get equipped with the understanding, practices and tools you need to turn pain and conflict into wakeful, empowered ways of being, relating and doing.
I guide people in relationships to transmute the emotional and mental patterns that lead to disconnection and aggression, and that cause your loving relationships to become stagnant and burdened with resentment and conflict. What results is more emotional flexibility and new possibilities for how to connect with your partner and yourself. You discover how to experience relationships and life as more fulfilling, satisfying and alive.
When you face directly and embrace the challenges of relationship and life, you rediscover inherent, lost qualities of wholeness, vitality and freedom that have gotten covered over by old fear-based coping strategies. You come to find energy to fuel meaningful change. In this way, relationship becomes a path, a movement toward self-discovery, freedom and awakening.

This is a continuation of a 365 day project. I started and finished a second year of one picture per day of my dog Ozzy. This is the result. What you get here is the full second year of the project. I have included many humorous and artistic photos. This is a project that has continued into its 3rd year. I'm not sure how much longer I will photograph Ozzy on a daily basis, but I will be try to at least do one photo per week if I finally abandon the daily shoot.

I want to use the "Visual" theme as a kind of photolog. Is there a way to know beforehand the ideal size of the pictures if I already know how many I would like to post? Or will I have to post them with their original size only to find out after several posts that they are ALL TOO BIG? There must be some math that can be done!
The blog I need help with is cbtrips.wordpress.com.

What keeps association leaders up at night?
According to Marketing General Inc.'s 2016 Membership Marketing Benchmarking Report, it's issues such as balancing a limited budget, engaging younger members and understanding what members truly want, especially in terms of networking and professional development.
The good news, though, is that associations continue to grow.
Slightly up from last year's report, this year 49 percent of associations reported a growth in membership. The largest individual member organizations (those with more than 20,000 members) were the most likely to see increased growth. In fact, only 14 percent report of respondents indicated no change in their number of members, a decrease from 16 percent in 2015.
For most associations, membership renewal rates didn't change this year. Nor did the top methods for recruiting new members: word of mouth and email. Perhaps not surprising, associations said conferences and trade shows are also common recruiting tools, ranking No. 3.
So why do associations remain popular? Most association executives believe members join for networking and continuing education opportunities.
Other key findings from the MGI report:
- The primary internal challenges to growing membership are difficulty in communicating value or benefits, insufficient staff and difficulty meeting members' needs due to a broad membership base.
- Competitive associations or sources of information (34 percent) and economy/cost of membership (31 percent) are the biggest external challenges to growing membership.
- Nearly 80 percent of associations with increasing renewal rates indicate increased participation in their private social networks, with Facebook and Twitter being the most popular platforms.
- A majority of associations consider the average age of their members to be between 45 and 54 years old.
- Similar to acquiring new domestic members, the most effective methods for recruiting international members is through word-of-mouth recommendations, email and by promotion of or at an association conference or trade show.
- The majority of associations currently have a separate strategic initiative or tactical plan for increasing engagement (58 percent).
- More than 30 percent of associations offer certification of some kind.
So what does this mean for the future?
The MGI report includes best practices, predictions and tips from association leaders who participated in the survey.
As one respondent said, "Associations will need to find services that can't be provided by any other organization — such as professional credentials. Networking can be online and social; professional development can be searched online; and knowledge is not valued, as information can be easily gathered. But status can only be gained by peer review and credentials are important."

Ever wondered how they build a carbon bike? This strangely compelling video, no doubt the Morgan Freeman narrative helps, shows you how. Somewhat disappointing however is the omission of how the hell they get the solid mould out of the carbon frame after it has been built!

LARAMIE (AP) — Finals end this week for Dominic Rufran, and then he has a few weeks off before he reports back to Laramie for offseason workouts for the University of Wyoming football team.
But before some rest and relaxation, Rufran has more important things to do.
He is one of nine current or former UW football players, along with assistant head coach Pete Kaligis, who will be part of the second "Wyoming in Haiti" trip. The group leaves Saturday and returns the following weekend.
The group will travel to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, to help the local church of Lyonel Narcisse, the father of former UW linebacker Ruben Narcisse, who died in an automobile accident in September 2010.
While there, the group will provide help and fun for the children in an orphanage.
In 2010, an earthquake killed more than 200,000 people and left 1.6 million homeless. Rufran is the only player making a return trip to Haiti.
"From the start, I wanted to go after last year's experience. It was really life-changing," he tells the Wyoming Tribune Eagle.
"To see the poverty the people are in — your heart goes out to the kids. There were a couple of kids you actually kept in contact with through Facebook and stuff. They love you to death, and your learn to love them too."
Last year, the group, which was comprised of 26 UW coaches and student-athletes, spent time doing some construction work around the orphanage and teaching kids the game of American football.
The Wyoming Chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes has organized the trip the last two years. This year's group will donate gear to the kids.
The cost of the trip is approximately $20,000, mostly generated through fundraising.

Did you know that 14 years ago Brother Richard Christman made a trip to Quito, Ecuador, and we now have a mission of eight members? That's how news of the Restored Gospel spreads.
Recently, Brothers Ken Lombardo and Noah Comacho traveled to Quito to do the usual "missionary things" that you would expect to hear about. They held services, met with various people interested in hearing about the Gospel, anointed the sick, blessed two babies, counseled someone who asked for baptism, bought a microwave for the mission and a computer so the saints can have meetings via Skype.

Church Teaching
It's Not Cooperation with Evil If One Side is Not Evil
Mark Gordon at Vox Nova explains why he is voting for neither Barack Obama nor Mitt Romney.
For my part, I won't be voting for either Obama or Romney because both promise to pursue policies that violate my understanding of fundamental Catholic teaching. To invest my democratic franchise in either would, in my opinion, be an abrogation of my first responsibility, which is to to witness to the Gospel in all its dimensions. For me, there can be no disjunction between the two. To permit any other allegiance, identity, issue or ideology to trump the Gospel – even temporarily or provisionally – is, again in my opinion – a form of idolatry. Christian discipleship must be marked first of all by an unyielding evangelical integrity: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness …" (Matthew 6:6). And just as I would hope not to choose a "lesser" evil in my personal or business life, neither can I do so as a citizen. As I've often written here, when you choose the lesser of two evils, you still get evil. Christians shouldn't be in the business of choosing evil.
Such is his right, and if he genuinely believes that voting for either candidate would involve cooperation with evil, then the choice is understandable and perhaps commendable. The problem with Mark's analysis is that only one candidate affirms positions that are clearly in opposition to dogmatic Church teaching. Continue reading
Another Roundup of Catholic Blogosphere's Reaction to Condomnation
I have placed together another roundup of the better informed among us in the Catholic blogosphere concerning the Pope's comments on the use of condoms (to build upon a previous similar post).
In my personal opinion, the more I read up on this issue, the more confused I become.
For the record, I am no philosophy or theological expert. I have a more rudimentary understanding of the teachings of the Church, ie, I clearly understand what and why, not necessarily the minutiae and nuance.
So I comprehend what the pope meant that if the person in question (example of a male prostitute in the act of fornication) decides to use a condom to protect a client, thus indicating that said person is heading in the right moral direction. Which then begs the question, then it is ok (or is it understandable) to use condoms in certain circumstances, despite Church teaching (Vatican document), ie, Humanae Vitae (Wikipedia entry), to the contrary?
Nonetheless, one cannot come away thinking that the pope himself has allowed for the use of a condom. Period!
This point is obvious enough that Damian Thompson of the Daily Telegraph is breaking his own arm from patting himself on the back so hard from this discovery (here, here, and here)!
Before I give the impression that Pope Benedict has given his blessings to the rise of a brave new condom nation, His Holiness was not speaking ex-cathedra.
But considering the weight of the papal office and the high standing the Church herself holds as a pillar of morality in a depraved world, the comments are disconcerting to the average (practicing) Catholic.

During the 5-minute set, the rapper sings a medley of 'Jesus Walks', 'Touch the Sky', 'Stronger', 'Heartless', 'All of the Lights', 'Mercy' and 'Black Skinhead'.
Kanye West made an appearance in the second episode of "Late Night with Seth Meyers" on Tuesday night, February 25. Serving as a guest and a musical act on that night's NBC show, the rapper treated viewers with a medley of his old and new hits.
During the 5-minute set, West tackled "Jesus Walks", "Touch the Sky", "Stronger", "Heartless", "All of the Lights", "Mercy" and "Black Skinhead". The songs are lifted from his solo albums, including 2004 debut set "The College Dropout" and 2013's "Yeezus".
Prior to the performance, West gave an interesting interview when sitting down with host Seth Meyers. They talked about various things including the mask that West wore at his "Yeezus" shows. "The mask is great," West said.
He added, "It's freeing. A place where you can express yourself to your audience without being judged, without having to live up to whatever you represent, whatever your name means or doesn't mean."
In the interview, Kim Kardashian's significant other also discussed his fashion business, his appearances on "Saturday Night Live", the 10th anniversary of "The College Dropout" and his new musical projects.

The following actions and discussion points were addressed at the May 14 Stacy City Council meeting:
Improvements to Doyle Field building coming right up, with fries
Stacy Lions Club representative Jerry Schroeder made a return trip to the May Stacy City Council meeting. While Schroeder acknowledged the Lions were there, hat in hand, he said, "We're not asking for any money from the taxpayers; we'll take care of this and pay all the money as a club."
Schroeder was referring to a loan to finance improvements to the Doyle Field building. The Lions asked the city to borrow money to cover the expenditure.
Schroeder presented the estimated cost of improvements to the Doyle Field building at approximately $60,000. State regulators are requiring upgrades to the kitchen area and back room in order to continue the food preparation and service in the building.
City Attorney Peter Grundhoefer said the city signed a donation agreement. City Clerk Sharon Payne said she would locate the documents and added the city had taken out a bond, which the Lions had paid back in-full two years ahead of schedule. Stacy Mayor Mark Utecht is in favor of assisting the Lions and saving both the club and the city aggravation, but Utecht asked, "I do have one honest question: Is it worth spending this money to be able to serve food there?"
Schroeder sees merit in keeping concessions going at the building.
"We serve the public and we would like to continue serving the public, he said."
Schroeder said the Lions had asked the same question and determined the project is within their mission to serve. Work will commence immediately and continue into the fall. In the interim, the Lions plan to go through the summer season operating the Doyle Field building concessions area. Schroeder confirmed the Minnesota Department of Health agreed to the timeline.
The council complimented the Lions on their service and the food they serve, specifically mentioning the french fries. Schroeder advised there would be none of those fries until the new wash sink is installed.
Local fire departments partner for community and fiscal benefit
Assistant Fire Chief of the Stacy-Lent Fire Department Brad Schroeder and Fire Chief of the North Branch Fire Department Kevin Grote presented the council with mutual aid and automatic aid agreements as a cost-saving measure for the two cities.
The firefighters explained that automatic aid agreements translate into lower insurance rates for the cities and residents. Grote has visited all local area councils and town boards lobbying for the agreements. His last stops were Stacy and Lindstrom.
Schroeder said the agreement is worded the same as the 2004 agreement.
Foxtail Woods Four moves forward
Developer Tony Janu is moving forward with a rare project in Stacy as of late: a housing development.
Janu visited the Stacy council, continuing to work out the details of the Foxtail Woods Plat 4 development agreement. City Engineer Chuck Schwartz and City Attorney Peter Grundhoefer reviewed documents pertaining to existing utility infrastructure that must be moved and who should bear the cost.
Janu was advised by Xcel Energy and Frontier Communications the respective costs of this would be $22,281 to move electrical and "just under $14,000" to move the telecommunication equipment. Schwartz explained there are some existing storm sewer pipes in the way and a hodgepodge of other placement issues to be straightened out. Mayor Utecht had concerns about the easement and the proximity to the driveways.
"I wouldn't support adding something to this development agreement that we haven't allowed in other development agreements," Utecht said regarding the discussion on what to allow. Utecht did ask for a motion to allow changes to the agreement consistent with past practice and the motion passed with Councilor Jim Ness voting no.
Outdoor seating proposed at the Stacy Sports Bar and Grill
Stacy Sports Bar and Grill Manager Lori Dahle showed the council a drawing of a patio designed for the on-sale establishment.
The patio will be constructed with pavers and there will not be a deck. Dahle put the cost at "No more than $15,000." Dahle assured the council the proposed addition is ADA compliant, and secure. Patrons may exit, but not enter the bar and grill via the patio.
"As long as it is also ADA compliant," Utecht said.
"How long will it take to pay this off?" Ness asked. He requested a definite cost for the project to analyze the return on investment Dahle anticipates seeing with this improvement.
Other Stacy council briefs
•Chisago County Public Works Department is seal coating Stacy Trail and will be restriping up to the no parking zones on either side approaching the intersection. The council agreed law enforcement then needs to do some parking enforcement in this area. "You don't see people passing on the shoulder in Wyoming; you will get pulled over (there). We need to have the same kind of enforcement here," Utecht said.
•The mention of law enforcement was timely. The Chisago County Sheriff's Office sent a proposed contract for law enforcement services covering 20 hours per week at $52.28 per hour. "Whenever we talk about raising the number of hours, people come in and say the sheriff's office has to respond anyway, and when we talk about cutting hours, a different group of people come in and complain that the city should not be cutting public safety," Utecht said. The council approved the contract exactly as it has been written and executed for the past year.
•The council was pleased to hear a suggestion to hold a 5K run during Stacy Daze. Tony Olivolo and Tim Cosgrove proposed the event, and the council will look at the logistics. The mayor approved of the idea, saying it might bring people into the city or give people in the city something to do.
•The North Branch Area Hockey Association sent a proposal to the city requesting a change to the Stacy Sports Complex agreement. The council has been silent on the Sports Complex of late, since the NBAHA has had to regroup over financing issues. The NBAHA is now proposing to own the land the hockey arena will stand on once the building is paid for. The NBAHA's bank declined to allow the building and land to be owned separately, by the city and the association, respectively. The NBAHA is working toward purchase of the land at the $1.09-per-square-foot price the council had offered months ago. Utecht directed Payne to bring Grundhoefer and arena project manager Craig Moline together for a meeting.

Ear, Nose, Throat and Allergy Center
A Minimally Invasive Sinus Program
Evaluation and Treatment of Disorders of the Ears, Nose, Throat, Head and Neck
What is Otolaryngology?
Otolaryngologists diagnose and manage diseases of the sinuses, larynx (voice box), oral cavity, upper pharynx (mouth and throat), and structures of the neck and face, as well as many ENT primary care problems in both children and adults.
Why should I see an Otolaryngologist?
These specialists differ from many physicians in that they are trained in both medicine and surgery. Otolaryngologists do not need to refer patients to other physicians when ear, nose, throat, or head/neck surgery is needed and can offer the most appropriate care for each individual patient. Therefore, otolaryngologists are the most appropriate physicians to treat disorders of the ears, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck.
Areas of Treatment
The ears - Hearing loss affects one in ten North Americans. The unique domain of otolaryngologists is the treatment of ear disorders. They are trained in both the medical and surgical treatment of hearing, ear infections, balance disorders, ear noise (tinnitus), nerve pain, and facial and cranial nerve disorders. Otolaryngologists also manage congenital (birth) disorders of the outer and inner ear.
The nose - About 35 million people develop chronic sinusitis each year, making it one of the most common health complaints in America. Care of the nasal cavity and sinuses is one of the primary skills of otolaryngologists. Management of the nasal area includes allergies and sense of smell. Breathing through, and the appearance of, the nose are also part of otolaryngologists' expertise.
The throat - Communicating (speech and singing) and eating a meal all involve this vital area. Also specific to otolaryngologists is expertise in managing diseases of the larynx (voice box) and the upper aerodigestive tract or esophagus, including voice and swallowing disorders.
The head and neck - This center of the body includes the important nerves that control sight, smell, hearing, and the face. In the head and neck area, otolaryngologists are trained to treat infectious diseases, both benign and malignant (cancerous) tumors, facial trauma, and deformities of the face. They perform both cosmetic plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Sleep Apnea/Snoring - Sleep apnea is a common disorder that affects millions of men, women, and children but is often undiagnosed, despite the potentially serious consequences of the disorder. Otolaryngologists are trained in recognizing and treating sleep apnea and snoring with medical and surgical means.
Allergies - Forty-five million Americans suffer from allergies. Symptoms may include itching eyes, sneezing, nasal stuffiness, nasal congestion and drainage, and sometimes headache. Some people also experience hearing changes, sore throat, hoarseness, and coughing. Other symptoms include balance disturbances, throat or facial swelling, irritated skin, respiratory problems and asthma.
What is an Audiologist?
Audiologists are health-care professionals who evaluate, diagnose, treat, and manage hearing loss, tinnitus, and balance disorders in newborns, children, and adults.
Audiologists are trained experts who:
- Evaluate hearing using behavioral and objective (non-behavioral) test procedures
- Identify hearing loss
- Refer patients to an otolaryngologist (ENT) for medical or surgical management of hearing loss
- Determine need for hearing rehabilitation
- Determine candidacy for hearing aids
- Select and fit hearing aids
- Evaluate the balance system
The professional staff at the Ear, Nose, Throat and Allergy Center is highly experienced in comprehensive Audiological diagnostic evaluations, hearing aid fittings, and screenings.
Hearing aids come in various styles, and have 100% digital circuitry. Today's hearing aids are affordable and are aesthetically appealing to everyone.
These devices can help facilitate improved face-to-face communication, reception of electronic media, telephone reception, and reception of important warning sounds and situations.

This includes underwriters fully exercising their option to purchase 1.2 million additional common units. Delek US, through certain affiliates, will own a two percent general partner interest and the remaining limited partner interest in Delek Logistics Partners, LP.Yemin concluded, "During the third quarter, we executed on our strategic initiatives, improved our financial position and returned value to our shareholders. Strong cash flow generation allowed us to reduce net debt again and declare our fourth special dividend in the last twelve months.

Finally, we remain focused on strategic steps to improve our crude and feedstock flexibility as we expand our rail capability at El Dorado and increase access to WTI-linked crude in our refining system. In early 2013, this will allow us to benefit from our refineries' connectivity to increasing supplies of WTI Midland sourced crude oil that is trading today at more than $6 per barrel below WTI at Cushing. We remain positive about our future and look forward to creating additional value for our shareholders." Refining Segment Refining segment contribution margin increased to $189.4 million in the third quarter 2012, versus $164.3 million in third quarter 2011. By utilizing its crude sourcing flexibility, the El Dorado refinery reported a significant improvement in contribution margin to $94.0 million, compared to $64.4 million in the third quarter 2011.
