Heeding the advice of Houston County Attorney Jamie Hammell and Environmental Services Officer Rick Frank, the county board decided not to rush into approving a moratorium on silica frac sand mining in the county.
On Feb. 13 the County Planning and Zoning Board had passed a motion by a 4-3 margin to recommend establishing a one-year moratorium to the county board.
At last week's board meeting, the commissioners decided to schedule another public hearing to gather more information from experts in the field and area residents on the very controversial issue.
A public hearing on silica frac sand mining has been scheduled for March 19 at 6:30 p.m. in the Fine Arts Center at La Crescent-Hokah High School in La Crescent.
Frank said he has discussed the issue with the land use committee. His office has been inundated with phone calls, emails and personal visits from residents who are concerned about the issue.
"There is a lot of mis-information out on the streets," Frank said. "I really think we need to hold another public hearing, where we can invite geologists and groundwater experts and learn more about this.
"There is a lot of support out there for the county to call for a moratorium," Frank continued. "But I feel the county should take its time and get all the questions answered first."
"That's why we need the moratorium, so we have time to answer all these questions," Commissioner Justin Zmyewski said. "The moratorium doesn't mean we are against anything. It's just a time out, so we can get all the facts first."
"I feel we need to get all the information first before we make a decision to stop this,' Commissioner Tom Bjerke said.
Hammell pointed out that what the board was really considering was an interim zoning ordinance. "There is no dire need to push this forward," Hammell said. "This is a process that must be made in good faith. The county must have a plan in place. All the concerns must be addressed first."
Zmyewski asked what happens if someone submits a permit to begin mining silica frac sand now.
"We have adjoining counties that have moratoriums in place," Board Chairman Jack Miller pointed out. "We can utilize the information they have been gathering."
Yucatan Township resident Donna Buckbee said the Minnesota Legislature was currently considering a bill that would take much of the decision-making power away from the counties. "If you don't do something soon, you might not have the authority to do something later,' she warned.
Hammell said she was aware of the proposed legislation and explained if passed, it would limit the amount of time a county could impose a moratorium from one year down to 90 or possibly 60 days. She added that the county has the luxury of having several area counties that are currently conducting studies on silica frac sand mining. "We can learn from them," Hammell said.
Bjerke said it was Hammell's recommendation to hold another public hearing before moving forward with a moratorium. He made a motion to schedule another public hearing. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Teresa Walter and unanimously approved.
"The bottom line is the health and welfare of the residents of this county,' Miller opined. "In the same token, we really shouldn't be reacting like Chicken Little and 'the sky is falling.' We need more information and hopefully this meeting will help provide just that."
In other board action:
Human Services Department
HR director Tess Arrick Kruger informed the board that interim Social Worker Supervisor Sharen Lapham has resigned from that position effective Feb. 14, but will continue working in the Human Services Department.
Kruger asked the current department staff to send letters of application to see if there were possible candidates to hire from within. She said three persons have expressed interest in the position.
Kruger said in the past the department heads had conducted the first round of interviews and then made recommendations to the county board.
Walter said she felt it would be better if the entire county board was involved in the entire process. The rest of the board agreed. No official action was taken on this matter.

MARLOW let a 3-0 lead at home erode against St Ives at the weekend, but boss Mark Bartley insists he isn't too disappointed.
After three draws in a row in the Southern League Central, the Blues appeared set for the maximum after a brace from Ian Davies plus a Nathan Ashton goal put them in command at the interval.
However, St Ives goals after 56, 66 and 74 minutes levelled it up.
Bartley said: "The weather had an impact, but I still think we should have done better.
"We got ourselves into a great position. It's never nice to be 3-0 up at home and draw 3-3. It's not great and it's a bit of blow for the lads.
"But we were against a side that beat us earlier in the season and in terms of progress, from where we were and how good we were in spells, I'm fairly content."
The result followed draws with promotion chasing Daventry and Slough in recent weeks.
Bartley said: "We've come off the back of a difficult run and gone five games unbeaten in the league now.
"We've got players coming back and I've seen enough already to be pleased with my side. I know how good they will be."
Tomorrow they go to a Potters Bar side that blows hot and cold.

To my left is Barry Schulman, the owner of CardPlayer magazine, and a professional poker player. At the next table over is Jennifer Harman, considered to be one of the very best limit hold'em players in the world. As the dealer starts flinging the cards around our table, Jennifer stands up. She's just been busted out of the same tournament I'm playing.
I look down at my cards and see pocket queens, the third best hand you can be dealt. I've been waiting for a hand like this for hours.
Amid a field of 675 poker players, the majority of them professionals, and a handful of them famous, only 100 players remain. Improbably, I'm one of them. Luck has a giant part to play in this, of course. If not, I would have been busted out long before Jennifer Harman was. But at the same time, playing for twelve hours with some of the best poker players on earth has given me a lot of confidence. They're better than me, but I've held my own. I'm good enough, at least, to not be totally run over.
I've wanted a test like this for a long time, but normally these players are playing at tables where individual pots can be thousands of dollars. That's way more risk than I could take on just to see how I play against pros. But right now I'm in the $1500 Limit Hold'Em World Series event. The prizes and prestige associated with placing well are significant, but $1500 is cheap enough that I could justify paying it for the experience.
Then again, I probably wouldn't have entered if I had known just how good everyone was. I figured that the low buy-in would attract mediocre players. It may have attracted a handful of them, but mostly it's just pros trying to win a World Series bracelet. And me.
It's the second day and my stack is down to around $13,000. I've been playing conservatively, looking for a hand like this to take a stand, play aggressively, and try to double up. The top 63 places get paid, and doubling up would make me enough money that I'll probably make it there.
Everyone folds to the button. Being the last position before the blinds, a raise is almost required there no matter what cards he has. The blinds are now $600 and $1200, and a raise can often steal them. As expected, the button raises.
Small blind folds. I reraise. He calls-- it's just the two of us.
The flop comes JJ7. That's a great flop for me-- unless has a jack or two sevens, I'm WAY ahead. If he had KK or AA he would have reraised me before the flop. I bet and he calls.
The turn comes an eight. Unless he has two eights, seven-eight, or nine-ten, it can't help him. I bet. He raises.
His raise is telling me that he has one of those hands. Maybe he's trying to bluff me because we both know that if I complete this hand, all of my money is going into it. But more likely, he has the hand he's representing.
Despite this, I have to raise. There are still four cards that give me the best hand (the two remaining jacks and queens), or he may be holding something weird like ace-eight. He calls my raise, and we flip over our cards. He indeed has the miraculous ten-nine, and has made a straight. The last card is a deuce, which leaves him the winner and knocks me out of the tournament.
It stings to lose the tournament so close to the money, but knowing that I did way better than could have ever been expected against these pros makes the pill a little easier to swallow.
Even if there was no prize money, I would still have been glad to pay the $1500. It gave me the unbelievable experience of playing in a professional-level game for twelve hours, winning and losing hands against the people you see on ESPN, and made me more confident in my game. In fact, I immediately started playing a higher limit game after the tournament, and did quite well.
Photo was taken by Christophe. It's the only one he got where I don't look scared for my life.
It's hard to write a poker article that non poker players will understand/enjoy. The short version is that I had a great hand and was a huge favorite to double up and win enough money to coast to the level where players make money. A guy played correctly, got lucky, and beat me.
Tasksmash codes:
TL::DR I spent $1500 to play in a public poker tourney for the privilege of sitting near some D-List "celebrities".
I'm trying to eat healthier at work (overnight at a hospital), and on international trips. Bento box thermus from your old articles seem ideal but I have no experience cooking dried beans and seasoning them. Any advice or recipes for me? I'm a vegetarian in good shape with a hearty appetite.
Woulda been sweet to cash in your first ever WSOP event. Getting down to under 100 is a good run though, especially first time out. Well done sir, well done.
Saw my wife's comment on your post so guess I should sign off as Matt "the poker husband".
Cheers from the Circus Circus RV Park... (the dogs needed the A/C)
Great post! I've been steadily getting better at Hold 'em over the last 6 months or so, heading to Vegas for unrelated reasons in a few weeks, but definitely looking forward to playing with some actual cardplayers. Any tips on where a newbie can play some low-limit and not get absolutely roasted?
i've just been getting into poker, and i was happy to see i could follow this post and see the logic of it, and i also was happy to see you get nerves too! i find playing intimidating, but the intellectual aspect fun.
First, the results. Since the World Series of Poker last year, I've played 174 hours of poker. I play limit hold'em, with almost all of my play at the $10/20 or $15/30 level. In that time I've made $7594, which is $43.70 per hour.
I say that I'm a semi-professional, because obviously 5 hours of "work" per week isn't really playing at a professional level. Statistically speaking, it's also somewhat possible that I've just gotten lucky over this time. Considering my level of understanding of the game, including knowing what I don't know, honest evaluation of the competition, and a general comfort level with the game, I can objectively say that I don't think luck plays a large part in my results.
Anyway, I say all that to let you judge for yourself my playing level, rather than having to take my word for it. Real professionals might disagree with some of my advice, but I'm offering it because I think that it's difficult to find the correct path towards becoming a winning poker player, and I've now discovered one such path.
Three times a week I spend an hour driving to the casino to begin my work. On the outside the casino looks like a Disneyland for adults with statues of roman warriors on the outside. I walk in, greet the managers, employees and fellow players and place myself on the 2/5 poker list. For the following 10 hours I shuffle chips with one hand, browse the internet with the other and quietly observe others in order to exploit them. Despite my long-term success; playing poker each day presents me with new challenges. Every hour I face a $500 decision which I must be right more than 80% of the time to be a winning player. Sometimes I chat with other players. Sometimes I listen to music and act solemn. Sometimes I play the role of a douchy frat kid. More than 90% of the time I'm friendly with the other players and chat with every dealer. Everyone knows my name. Some players refuse to sit at my table in fear, despite that I'm really not that great.
Playing poker for a living sounds like the dream, right? When everything is going in my favor I simply can't help but see poker as a dream. One month I won so much I dropped a grand on clothes and it barely affected my monthly earnings.
I have no boss, yet no employees. I have no schedule. If I piss my "customers" off it usually makes me more money. I can work whenever I want. Also the job is relatively recession proof: gambling increases during times of economic hardships. Sometimes I can watch movies while I play and still make great money. I can listen to music the whole time I play. Writing all of these benefits make me smile irresistibly. I'm literally smiling right now.
Nearly every other day someone asks: "Should I quit my job to play poker for a living?" on the world's only poker forum.
Honestly, no you should not. Players are continuously becoming better. All poker players are becoming better. If I could go back 8 years ago with the knowledge I posses now, I would earn half a million a year easily. Poker is a dying business to dive into. More and more people start playing poker for a living with each passing day. You can continue to increase your skill level, but at a certain point your efforts are better spent elsewhere.

Baku, Azerbaijan, Feb.6
By Elmira Tariverdiyeva - Trend:
The presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan re-committed to respecting the ceasefire on the contact line of Armenian and Azerbaijani troops during the Olympic Games in Sochi, the U.S. co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick said.
"Good news. The presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan re-committed to respecting the Nagorno-Karabakh ceasefire during the Olympics," Warlick wrote on his official Twitter account.
OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs for the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Igor Popov (Russia), James Warlick (U.S.), Jacques Faure (France) and the Special Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office Andrzej Kasprzyk visited the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict region on Feb.4-6 where they met with the leaderships of Azerbaijan and Armenia.
The situation remains tense on the contact line. Earlier the head of the press service of Azerbaijani Defense Ministry, Lieutenant-Colonel Vagif Dergahli told Trend that most ceasefire violations are observed in the directions of Fizuli, Agdam, Terter, Goranboy, Khojavend and Jabrayil districts.
The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs expressed their deep concern over continued violence in the region
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the U.S. are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
The Winter Olympics will be held in Sochi, from Feb.7 to Feb.23.
In total, 98 sets of medals in 15 sports will be competed for and the competitions will be held at 11 sports facilities.

Greek Island Hopping
The Cyclades and Athens
26.05.2008 - 02.06.2008
View Garfield Trots the Globe on Spoilt Cat's travel map.
Map of the Greek Islands
The next part of my adventure was very exciting - I visited 6 different Greek islands by boat! We got on the ship in the Turkish town of Bodrum, and then sailed all the way to Athens and back, stopping at different islands on the way. The first island we visited was Kos, where we visited a private and secluded beach. We had a barbeque and went swimming. Next, we visited the islands of Paros and Mykonos where we explored the tiny alleyways between the white and blue buildings. Wandering the streets of these islands is like being lost in a maze!
Wandering the streets of Mykonos
"Little Venice," Mykonos
The Greek islands get a lot of wind, so there are giant windmills everywhere and windsurfing is very popular on Mykonos. After shopping and exploring the town of Mykonos, we took a bus to Paradise Beach where we relaxed in the hot sun.

Next, we visited the ancient ruins on the island of Delos, and then spent some time exploring the island of Syros. We got off the boat in Athens, where we visited the Parthenon ruins and had lunch at an outdoor Greek cafe. When we left Athens to sail back towards Turkey, we watched the most unbelievable sunset.
Sunset Sailing Away from Athens
The last island that we visited was Kalymnos, which is famous for sponge diving and rock climbing. We visited some beaches and rocky coves, where we sipped ice cold coca-cola near the sea. After Kalymnos, we returned to Bodrum, Turkey, where we enjoyed walking along the beach at night and finally sleeping in a relaxing hotel room instead of on a boat!

- WR Jordan Bracy, Sr., 5-8, 166 (15 catches, 118 yards, 2 TDs)
- LB Jalen Montgomery, Jr., 5-10, 192 (31 tackles)
Just the facts
- Longview safety Corey Bartley's 56 tackles put the senior in the top five in East Texas
- Mesquite has won all four of its games by at least 14 points
- Longview averages 32.3 points per game and 17.3
- Longview has outscored its opponents 123-28 during its three-game winning streak
- Mesquite averages 36.8 points per game and allows 19.5
- Longview and Mesquite have played as district foes six times since 2004, and Longview has won every game, averaging a 22.5 margin of victory
Key matchup: Mesquite's skill players vs. Longview's back seven. The Skeeters have several talented options in their spread offense, which quarterback Alex Cooper has run to near perfection so far this season. Not only is his TD passes-to-interceptions ratio 12-1, he's completed almost 80 percent of his passes, which is especially impressive considering he averages 28.3 pass attempts per game. Longview coach John King counters with a speedy, veteran defense, but he emphasized the importance of limiting big plays and keeping the Skeeters' skill players in front of the Lobo defenders.
- "Our ability to tackle their skill guys in the open field (is a key matchup)," King said. "They are a solid football team that reminds me a lot of John Tyler. Alex Cooper keeps plays alive with his legs and he's always looking down field to throw. We also need to be able to control the line of scrimmage on both sides."
Chalk talk
- Longview coach John King on his team's three-game winning streak after a season-opening loss to Coppell: "We're trying to improve each week. Not where we need to be, but steadily getting there."
- King on the progression of his offensive and defensive lines, which dominated the game against Lufkin: "They're getting better each week. There's not as many missed assignments."
Don't be surprised if: A battle of styles breaks out in this contest, which could ultimately be the District 12-5A championship game. It's hard to think that way in late September, but Longview and Mesquite were the choices at the top of 12-5A entering the season, and here they are with three- and four-game winning streaks, respectively, coming into a big matchup against each other. Mesquite will use its pass-happy spread offense to face Longview's four-man front-based defense, while the Lobos will mostly be under center in a pro-style offense against Mesquite's 3-4 defense. That three-man front will be tested by a Longview running game that shredded Lufkin for more than 300 yards thanks to Tory White's 232-yard effort. Mesquite has yet to beat Longview as a district opponent, but this could be the Skeeters' best shot to date. Despite a 31-point win at rival Lufkin, the Lobos' first in Angelina County since 1997, Longview is still ironing out its quarterback situation, and playing at Mesquite doesn't help the Lobos' chances. Nevertheless, Longview is more than accustomed to big district matchups during the John King era. Sophomore QB Dezmond Chumley and junior QB Stephon Dunn managed the game well enough for the Lobos to come up with a big win last week. Chumley got the vast majority of the snaps, so don't be surprised if that's the case again Friday. This game should be one of the state's best in Class 5A this week.

DeLAND, Fla. - Not only did staff at Children's Playskool lose their jobs and parents lose a day care, they are now worried what could have happened after employees found personal records in the dumpster.
"This is where I found the documents," said Samantha Slaughter.
The former employee said she found dozens of records filled with everyone's personal information on Saturday night.
"Social Security numbers, first and last names, there was addresses and phone numbers for the children and their parents information," she said.
There were also shot records and physicals of current and former enrolled kids, out in plain view.
"There's all kinds of people that walk back here that could have easily seen them," said Slaughter.
It's something that bothers a former day care parent, who only wanted to be called Vanessa.
"I was very angry to put it lightly. They have my Social Security number, her Social Security number, all her information. That's stuff that I don't just want thrown in the trash where anyone has access to it."
Employees are also worried.
"It's my personal information. In the first place I feel sad and in the second place I feel scared," said Ana Menendez.
But Celianne Romero's attorney said Romero had nothing to do with it.
"We are currently investigating the allegation that some records that may have been found by parents or may have been disposed of by Ms. Santos but at this time, we have found no evidence that any such information has been discarded or could be in the possession of unauthorized persons," said Christopher Byrd.
Local 6 spoke with legal analyst Luis Calderon who said it's not necessarily a crime to improperly dispose sensitive information, but it's more of a civil matter.
"If that information gets out and somebody's harmed by the fact that it was made available, then you could be looking at a lawsuit for basically violating somebody's privacy rights," said Calderon.
Those records have since been turned over to DeLand police and have been marked as evidence.

Join a panel of experts as they discuss the critical aspects to consider in the evaluation and deployment of next-generation threat protection. Frost & Sullivan's Stratecast analyst, Michael Suby, will present new research on how cloud-based endpoint security solutions overcome many of the pain points caused by the aging signature-based model. Ty Smith, IT manager of offshore engineering firm Doris, Inc., will then walk you through deploying a solution that not only improved both security and user productivity but also saved hundreds of IT hours. He will also describe the evaluation criteria his team used for replacing Doris' traditional endpoint security product, which was difficult to manage, kept employees from their work during long scans, and left infections undetected.

The spread of avian influenza in chickens across 10 Asian countries has devastated the region's poultry industry but not yet dented the economies in the way that Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) did last year, economists and government officials say.
They cautioned, however, that Asia's buoyant economic outlook, with expected growth in some countries of more than 6 per cent, could change quickly if bird flu mutated into a disease transmitted from human to human.
"If the flu creates a major travel scare, as was the case with SARS, tourism and other economic losses could reach tens of billions of dollars," said Jean-Pierre Verbiest, assistant chief economist of the Asian Development Bank.
So far, countries have not issued travel warnings regarding bird flu and there have been few major cancellations by tourist groups to the region, airlines said.
But chicken is off many menus, even though the World Health Organisation has said properly cooked chicken is safe to eat.
Mr Verbiest said a chicken industry crisis, reducing supply and pushing up prices, would affect poorer consumers disproportionately.
In Indonesia, the Minister for Agriculture, Bungaran Saragih, said that 1.25 million people among the 220 million population might lose their jobs.
There have been 16 deaths reported from bird flu in two countries, Vietnam and Thailand.
Thailand is the world's fourth largest exporter of poultry, mainly to Japan and the European Union, both of which have banned its chicken.
Thailand's $US1 billion poultry industry, which employs about 1 million workers in a country of 62 million, has virtually closed.
Poultry, however, accounts for only 2 per cent of national output.
The Thai central bank said last week it expected the bird flu epidemic to cut gross domestic product growth by 0.2 percentage points this year. Analysts were more sober, saying gross domestic product would be reduced by 0.7 to 0.9 per cent by the disease.
But in making this assessment, Supavud Saicheua, the head of research at Phatra Securities, said in a paper distributed worldwide this week to Merrill Lynch clients that Thailand's economy would still fare well this year.
"Given that we expect GDP to grow 6.9 per cent this year, our estimates of the impact of bird flu would not alter our overall positive view on the economy", as long as the flu did not mutate.
There was little doubt the Thai poultry business would change in the wake of the disease, experts said. Big agricultural businesses like Charoen Pokphand Foods, the Saha Farms Group and the Betagro Group, dominate export to Japan and the European Union.

100-3 AquaLyte
SKU: sku102
Availability: In-Stock
Ships same day if ordered by 3:00 pm central time.
AquaLyte™ is a sachet (miniature tea bag) containing specially processed coral granules that are gathered from the ocean floor without harm to the reef. (This is all regulated by the Japanese government and Eco-friendly.) AquaLyte™ was created by the original inventor who started the whole coral mineral business in Japan. Because of the proprietary process, no other coral mineral product works as well as AquaLyte™ to structure your water and support your health.
AquaLyte™ has the very same minerals found to be at the source of the extraordinary coral water in Okinawa. Our bodies not only need the right size (ionic) minerals for our cells, but also a vast array of minerals, and AquaLyte™ provides both. The proprietary processing of AquaLyte™ keeps all 72 vital minerals in an "ionically charged" state. When the sachet is added to water the minerals release immediately and the water is transformed into "healthy water" within minutes.
Drinking AquaLyte™ mineral rich water gently helps the body rid itself of toxins and helps to support your body's proper pH balance. Now you can have the kind of water that the people of Okinawa drink, which is attributed to their excellent health and longevity.....without the trip to Japan! You will never want to drink "ordinary water" again. One AquaLyte™ pack contains 30 sachets which makes a total of 15 gallons of healthy water.
Would You Have Guessed to the Ryukyu Islands in the
Okinawa Province of Japan?
What they found was something rather astonishing.
He wasn't unique at all!
But they didn't stop there.
The Okinawan Wonder!
This is "The Secret" Why Okinawans are the Healthiest,
Here are 9 benefits you may experience while drinking this "Amazing Water":
Longest Living People in the World.
- Helps support proper digestion
- Helps support healthy weight loss
- Helps support proper pH to combat "acidosis"
- Helps support optimal muscle, joint, and bone health
- Helps support healthy skin and guard against dehydration
- Helps support the body to guard against free radical damage
- Helps support the body to flush out toxins at the cellular level
- Helps support the body to guard against the effects of premature aging and wrinkles
- Helps support healthy oxygen and energy levels for optimal athletic performance, and everyday life
Aha, but this is NOT ordinary water, far from it!
Here are some important ways that Aqualyte™ improves ordinary water:
- Neutralizes chlorine and removes chemicals in tap water
- Changes water into antioxidant water by lowering the oxidation reduction potential (ORP)
- Restructures water molecules for better absorption and hydration by lowering the surface tension of the water
- Replenishes vital minerals lost in water treatment and bottled water, especially distilled and reverse osmosis which have no minerals

Prizing Graphic Novels
While I'm sure we'll see them on various Notable and Best lists, the odds are against them when it comes to the Newbery, Caldecott, and Printz.
Here's the problem: the Newbery Medal is for text; the Caldecott is for illustrations. In neither case is the award for the whole book. (Each award goes to the author or illustrator who created the text or pictures for a book, not to the book itself, and is not shared with the author of a picture book or the illustrator of a Newbery winner.) This situation is of course thought goofy by all right-minded people, and while discussion of changing the award criteria comes up periodically, easier--far, far easier--said than done.
You can see how graphic novels are excluded from the Newbery, since the text without the pictures and placement would be unreadable. The Caldecott, though . . . . That, I'm guessing is going to depend upon any given committee's reading of ALSC's definition of "picture book." ALSC defines it as a book "that essentially provides the child with a visual experience. A picture book has a collective unity of story-line, theme, or concept, developed through the series of pictures of which the book is comprised," and adds that picture books appropriate for older children (through age 14) are eligible. Sounds like graphic-novel territory to me.
The Printz throws a different hurdle in the graphic novel's path. Although the criteria hang considerably looser (and I wish somebody would finally get around to copyediting that page) than those for the ALSC awards, there is that sticky designation of eligibility: "To be eligible, a title must have been designated by its publisher as being either a young adult book or one published for the age range that YALSA defines as "young adult," i.e., 12 through 18. Adult books are not eligible." To my mind, this excludes the National Book Award finalist American Born Chinese, whose publisher, First Second, does not give age or grade ranges to its titles. (And good for them.) While some graphic novels are firmly established as being for children (such as the wonderful Babymouse series), most of those read by older kids and teens are published without regard to age. If the Printz award wants to be meaningful in a fluid publishing era, it has to get rid of its "published for teens" clause, ill-considered when its rules were made and bound to become ever more increasingly out of touch.

I saw something wonderful recently that will be out next year which does involve text and images. The manual states, "... The committee is to make its decision primarily on the text. Other aspects of a book are to be considered only if they distract from the text. Such other aspects might include illustrations, overall design of the book, etc." Sigh, does that really mean we have to rule out something which integrates drawing and text? What a shame.

There is The Cybils (http://dadtalk.typepad.com/cybils/)
They are currently working away on a pile of nominated YA and Children's graphic novels trying to pare the list down for the judges by January 1st.

A bit late chiming in here, but must comment that the Caldecott criteria drive me nuts, and I simply don't understand why they can't be changed, even though I hear from ALSC people that they can't. Just as a graphic novel is a collaboration between writer and artist (or the creation of one person), a true picture book cannot exist without either writing or art, and it's utterly insane that the most significant award in children's books ignores this fact.

I have great faith that this will be a landmark year for graphic novels, at least for teens. While admittedly, very few graphic novels are marketed specifically to teens, those that are certainly can be considered for the Printz. And those that are not can be considered for the Alex, so I've got my fingers crossed that we will see some winners. But even if they are not specifically picked out for awards, this is the first year that YALSA is recognizing the best graphic novels of the year, which is very exciting. Right now Great Graphic Novels for Teens is considering 140 titles, and will be voting at Midwinter to decide on the best. Personally, I'm hoping that ALSC will follow suit and create their own list, and that we will see youth awards for graphic novels within the next few years.

I'll echo Dawn's comments. ALEX has recognized graphic novels in the past (One Hundred Demons in 2003 and Persepolis in 2004). While I cannot discuss what's been nominated for this year, I will agree that it's been a fantastic year for graphic novels. I think that as award committees look at graphics as potential award winners, we must learn to look for that wonderful combination of text and image that makes a good graphic novel great.

Excellent post! Thanks. I'll be posting a link on Finding Wonderland.
I've been really happy to see YALSA's work on Great Graphic Novels. As part of the Graphic Novels Nominations Committee for the Cybils (which someone mentioned above), I'm so pleased to read an array of excellent work and hope this spreads a bit more understanding of the genre.

Well, this is years after your post, but American Born Chinese did end up winning the Printz! So that's that!

- Roger Sutton said...
Yes it did--because the committee asked the publisher if it was eligible. For what that's worth. I once had a publisher try to convince me a book was published in a different year just to be eligible for a prize.

To make matters worse, a rough cut of the film was illegally uploaded on to the web two weeks before the June 20 American release date and many of the movie sites published damning critiques of the incomplete computer-generated special effects.
Those criticisms spread to the mainstream media and, all of a sudden, a good portion of The Hulk's intended audience was wondering whether this much-anticipated comic-book-turned-movie was worth seeing. Many of them may have already voted with their feet.
"The net has a very big effect on the success of a movie," said Clint Morris, the one-man operator of the Melbourne-based site Moviehole. "If you took a journey through all of those sites and read about Hulk for six months, by the time it comes along you're either excited or not excited. I wasn't - and that's due to all the reviews I've read and the reviews that have been sent to me."
Garth Franklin, of Sydney-based Dark Horizons, said: "The influence isn't on the public directly. It influences key people in the media and the film-making community and that in turn influences the audience."
When you're talking about the phenomenon of movies and the web, the name Harry Knowles stands out. He is Hollywood's other Hulk - a bearded, red-headed, 136-kilogram, self-confessed geek who runs the Ain't It Cool site from his home in Austin, Texas.
With its mixture of industry gossip and controversial reviews often taken from test screenings of unfinished movies, Ain't it Cool has developed a rabid following among both movie fans and Hollywood insiders. It has spawned dozens of other sites, of which Australia's Dark Horizons and Moviehole are now among the world's most influential. Dark Horizons' Franklin claims his site is now No. 1, with more hits than Ain't it Cool.
"People want to be in the know," he said. "That's the one key thing people look for, so they are ahead of the curve. Most people want to know things as early as possible."
These sites, initially independently operated and in no need of Hollywood advertising, were outside the influence of powerful Tinseltown publicists and spin doctors. Unlike the glossy movie magazines, they did not need to curry favour to get the big star interviews and could get away with practically anything.
Reviews on Knowles's site have been credited with causing the failure of some big-budget movies, including John McTiernan's Rollerball (starring Chris Klein and L L Cool J), The Avengers (Uma Thurman, Ralph Fiennes and Sean Connery) and, most famously, Batman And Robin (George Clooney).
Knowles's review of the latter movie began: "First, let me say that Joel Schumacher should be shot and killed. I will pay a handsome bounty to the man (or woman) who delivers me the head of this anti-christ . . . he has single-handedly destroyed what started out to be a great series of films." Ain't It Cool has also been credited with helping a few out. The site's positive reviews of Titanic helped to turn around a negative buzz caused by the film's budget blowout and the on-set behaviour of director James Cameron. More recently Schumacher's Phone Booth (with Colin Farrell) survived several potentially damaging release delays, due in part to continuing support for the movie on Ain't It Cool.
Far from ignoring the opinions of these movie fanatics, who operate hunched over computers in their darkened little rooms, directors were left quivering in fear - even acknowledging, as Schumacher did, the often cruelly-delivered advice.
"Harry Knowles said I was a good director but I needed someone to smack me," Schumacher said during his recent trip to Australia. "Which was true. And it was useful."
Gladiator director Ridley Scott bemoaned the internet practice of running reviews of test screenings before the release of the Oscar-winning movie in 2000.
"I previewed this film in San Diego and, before I got back to Los Angeles that night, there already were four reviews of the movie on the bloody internet," he said. "Fortunately, the reviews were great, but they could have been bad, and that would have been disastrous."
But New Zealand director Peter Jackson changed the rules entirely. He deftly included Knowles in the early The Lord Of The Rings publicity blitz and reaped the rewards.
Knowles was flown to New Zealand to visit the set during the shoot and was a conspicuous presence when the trilogy was introduced to the media at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival, happily accepting the hugs of star Elijah Wood. The stories and reviews that followed were gushing.
Steven Spielberg went one step further when his Dreamworks studio bought a popular site, Counting Down, making its three former owners a tidy sum but casting future doubt on its credibility to report unbiased Dreamworks news.
And that's where Hollywood has struck back. By keeping dangerous enemies such as Knowles close, even inviting them to be part of the movie-making machine, it has lessened the damage they can cause. Knowles is now a personality, popping up on TV, appearing in Hollywood power lists, even writing his own autobiography at the age of 30. There are legitimate concerns that the former outlaw has sold out.
When Ain't It Cool meekly pulled a pre-publication review of the new Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix book recently, the site was deluged with complaints from users.
"No wonder AICN [Ain't It Cool News] doesn't get solid exclusives any more," read one. "Come on, Harry - try breaking a few rules to get a solid exclusive! The Harry Potter story was the best thing you guys had in ages, and you took it down? Stop ass-kissing for Pwesents and get us scoops!!" The sites are now getting bigger and more commercial. Their operators are accepting Hollywood advertising money and paid-for travel to exotic locations for movie junkets. Even as The Hulk makes a thudding crash, their ability to strike fear into Hollywood, to kill off their cynical, big-budget blockbusters, may be waning.
"It would be a hard thing not to sell out," said Moviehole's Morris - who still regards his site as a hobby that supplements his main income as a journalist. "You hear all the time that Harry has sold out for the bucks. It's a hard line not to cross.
"When people [studios] do promotions on my site I feel very strongly about how I should review a film. You've got to keep that edge.
"You've got to have your own opinion and people like Harry don't seem to have that opinion anymore. He's being bought."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/1/2013 (1689 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Will a Cadillac be North American Car of the Year for the first time in the award's history? Is Honda back on top? Can the svelte Fusion give Ford some needed good news?
Can a European-designed hybrid compact minivan become North American Truck/Utility of the Year? Did Mazda's curiously named SkyActiv technology soar above the competition? Can a V-6 rule the roost among high-powered pickups?
We'll find out on Jan. 14, when the awards are presented in the first news conference of the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
I'm one of the 50 jurors who vote on the awards. I can't say which got my votes yet, and there are no clear favorite among the six finalists, but here are some of the contenders' pros and cons.
Cadillac ATS
Pro: Great performance in an advanced and efficient sport sedan that moves Cadillac into the big leagues of the global luxury market. Its engineering will influence how GM develops upcoming vehicles.
Con: It's tough to win when you take on the BMW 3-series, the car that defined "sport sedan." Jurors often prefer high-volume mass-market models to luxury vehicles.
Ford Fusion
Pro: Beautiful exterior styling, great interior design and materials, cutting-edge features and a wide variety of models.
Con: It uses Ford's polarizing controls and has already been recalled twice. Jurors inclined toward family sedans could split their votes between the Fusion and Accord.
Honda Accord
Pro: A return to form by one of North America's favorite brands. Good value and fuel economy in a car that showcases new engine and transmission families.
Con: It and the Fusion may split votes from midsize sedan-minded voters. The Accord met the high expectations we used to have for Honda, but may not have raised the bar.
Ford C-Max
Pro: Impressive fuel economy and advanced technology in a practical and affordable hybrid.
Con: The compact van stretches the idea of what constitutes a truck.
Mazda CX-5
Pro: Sporty handling and daring styling in a fuel-efficient and fun-to-drive crossover.
Con: The engine saves fuel, but doesn't provide a lot of power. Interior materials leave something to be desired.
Ram 1500
Pro: A new engine, transmission, stop-start system and more in a full-size pickup that throws down the gauntlet for new models coming from Chevy and Ford.
Con: Despite huge improvements, it's not quite an all-new truck. The V-6/8-speed transmission combo has good economy, but doesn't approach V-8 performance.

Sildenafil and Pulmonary Artery Pressure
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of the study is to see if the administration of sildenafil (Viagra) in patients with portopulmonary hypertension could be a safe and effective treatment.
Portopulmonary hypertension (PTPH) is a special type of pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries that carry unoxygenated blood from the right ventricle of the heart to the lungs. Pulmonary hypertension results from constriction, or tightening, of the blood vessels that supply blood to the lungs. Consequently, it becomes difficult for blood to pass through the lungs, making it harder for the heart to pump blood forward. This stress on the heart leads to enlargement of the heart and eventually fluid can build up in the liver and tissues, such as in the legs. Affected patients can sometimes notice increasing shortness of breath and dizziness.
There is a growing body of evidence suggesting a potential therapeutic role for this sildenafil in patients with primary pulmonary hypertension. Studies are ongoing regarding this area.
Our hypothesis is that chronic oral sildenafil will successfully reduce pulmonary artery pressures by at least 25% (reduction in mean pulmonary artery pressure) and could be an effective treatment for PTPH, especially in candidates for liver transplantation
Primary Hypothesis To measure the effects of a single dose of sildenafil on pulmonary arterial pressure in patients with PTPH
Secondary Hypothesis To measure the effects of chronic (3 month) treatment with sildenafil on pulmonary arterial pressure, safety, and tolerability in patients with PTPH
|Pulmonary Hypertension
|Drug: sildenafil
|Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Pilot Study of the Effect of Chronic Administration of Sildenafil on Pulmonary Artery Pressure in Patients With Portopulmonary Hypertension
- Outcome measurement will consist of comparing baseline to treatment hemodynamics both after a single dose and chronic therapy in terms of absolute response as well as the presence of a "significant response" defined as at least a 25% reduction in mean
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|September 2003
|Study Completion Date:
|September 2006
|Primary Completion Date:
|September 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
This is a single center (only takes place at University of Chicago), open-label (doctor and subject know that the subject is taking the experimental drut), pilot study to evaluate the effects of sildenafil on pulmonary artery pressures in patients with portopulmonary hypertension.
Patients who are diagnosed with PTPH after having routine care right heart catheterization will be asked if they are interested in participating. Approximately ten subjects will be enrolled. Subjects will undergo the following experimental procedures as part of their participation in this study: blood laboratory tests, medical history, physical exam, inhaled nitric oxide test, study drug (sildenafil) administration, and a pill count.
Sildenafil will be given to these patients 3 times a day for a 12 week period to see if the study drug can lower their pulmonary artery pressures by at least 25%.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
Candidates for enrollment in this clinical trial are limited to adult patients diagnosed with severe portopulmonary hypertension (PTPH). Specifically, other causes of pulmonary hypertension (PH) such as left ventricular dysfunction, valvular heart disease, chronic lung disease, chronic thromboembolic disease, chronic hypoxemia, rheumatologic conditions, and significant untreated obstructive sleep apnea will be excluded in the usual fashion in patients with underlying portal hypertension and usually cirrhosis. The diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension will be confirmed by invasive hemodynamic measurements (i.e. right heart catheterization) and severe PH is defined as a mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) >35 mmHg. If evidence of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is present (RV dilation, reduced RV ejection fraction (EF), or elevated RV end-diastolic pressure (>10 mmHg) and the MPAP is 30-35 mmHg, then the patient may be enrolled.
Study participants will be selected from those patients referred for hemodynamic assessment of pulmonary hypertension, such as potential liver transplant recipients. They must be capable of giving informed consent. The University of Chicago referring physician will be contacted for concurrence of agreement.
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, but not portopulmonary hypertension will be excluded. Patients will be excluded from consideration if they do not have severe PTPH, if invasive hemodynamic assessment is contraindicated, or if there are any contraindications to sildenafil. Patients with unstable coronary syndromes or otherwise significant unrevascularized coronary artery disease and myocardial ischemia as determined by cardiac stress testing and/or coronary angiography will also be excluded. Moribund patients will not be considered for enrollment.

Interrobang: A show of abstract art
Abstract art can raise eyebrows, conjure questions and declare truths leaving the viewer excited while possibly questioning what the artist is communicating. Abstract art also provides that statement piece or the subtle accent to complete the perfect space. Three artists will be showcasing their abstract works during "Interrobang: A show of abstract art" opening Thursday,… Read More →

Procter & Gamble
When the market tanks, it's time to get defensive, and that means hiding out in defensive stocks that tend to hold up regardless of the wider trend in the market, or the economy. One of the biggest and best of the defensives is consumer products giant and Dow component Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG).
After watching just a small portion of the Olympic Games this year, I was reminded about just how powerful the presence of P&G products have become worldwide. The company was an official sponsor of the Games, so it's no surprise we were force-fed commercials about Ivory soap, Crest and Head & Shoulders — the latter featuring one of the biggest Olympic stars, swimmer Michael Phelps. The point here is that the incredible ubiquity of P&G's global brands is hard to duplicate, and that makes it a great safe-haven candidate when market seas get rocky.
Another reason PG shares are a great place to ride out the storm is the company's annual dividend yield of 3.4%. Collecting a solid dividend yield always is a great way to keep your head about you when everyone else is losing theirs, and considering P&G is one of the Dow's top dividend stocks, rest assured it'll keep you level. As for P&G's share price appreciation, well, that's certainly been lacking over the past year, as investors have moved toward the risk-on trade in tech, biotech and even homebuilder stocks.
But if a sell-off of real proportions slaps these sectors in the face, you're going to see money running for cover — and there's no better cover than a mega-brand consumer products giant like PG.

A special advertisement composed by our good friend, Mr. Keyes, with some embellishment: "Starflyer 59 is the ultimate fan's band, adored and upheld by a faithful following, kept like a secret for 13 years running. Now, for the dedicated devotee, comes the ultimate collection: in the grand tradition of the SubPop singles club, Wedding Present's 12 7" in one year, or Public Image Ltd.'s Metal Box, Burnt Toast Vinyl is thrilled to announce the Starflyer 59 "Ghosts of the Future" series.
The collection consists of a total of 10 7″s, broken out over four individual shipments. 2 will arrive in July, 2 more in September, then 3 in both November and January. Each slipcase will be letterpressed with specially-designed artwork (from the HYMY Industries design firm), and the first shipment will come with a box built to contain the complete collection (as if anything will actually be able to contain it!).
Then there's the music — each A-side boasts demo versions of songs from the forthcoming Starflyer full-length; each B-sided is a track exclusive to this collection. It's like being in the studio with the band as they piece together the new record.
If you pre-order at the too-good-to-resist price of $59.59 (postage paid, working out to about $5/7″ or so), your set will be pressed on colored vinyl, guaranteed. Later orders run the risk of suffering in the darkness of regular black vinyl. The price will increase after the initial shipment and with each subsequent shipment as a "doubter's tax." Not to imply that there are doubters among the faithful. To add further early ordering incentive, Jason Martin will be autographing inserts for the first 100 orders.
For more than 10 years running, Starflyer has trounced disbeleif with one classic pop song after another. No new kinda story, indeed."
Additionally, for the super fans, a super limited number of test pressing subscriptions (only 15, hand numbered) will be available for $100.59 postage paid. While this seems like an extravagant amount of money to pay for a series of 7″, you are purchasing the rights to hear the test pressings when the band and label hear them and you will receive any error test pressings that result. Unfortunately, these are only on black vinyl, but your subscription will also feature the complete artwork, inserts, and box.
We've been actively pursuing this project for almost a year and a half. Many thanks to those who have contributed ideas, feedback, and inspiration, people like Jason Martin, Jeff Cloud, Will Stichter, Ethan Tripp, Gockley, Matthew Stone, Andrew Horton, and Joseph Keyes. btv couldn't be more serious or more excited about this project.

Not a mock blog, but a challenge that I and xxiOMGxx have set for one another to further expand our minds and find the good in opposing ships. Hope you enjoy. :)
The EPIC Journey
Alright, we can all state for a fact now that Sam has had a "thing" for Freddie from at least iKiss, maybe even longer because we don't know when she pushed Freddie into the fire hydrant, but none the less, she has liked him for more than half the series. With her Sam-like-ways of showing affections, her reaction to Freddie's dance with Carly, her acceptance of Creddie when it was going on and her bold display of affection when all her walls were down displays how much she really cares for this boy. I would even consider her to be "in love" with Freddie due to her willingness to suffer on behave of Freddie's happiness. It's hard for a girl to watch a guy that she likes to flirt, dance, date and kiss with another girl, but it stings even harder when that girl is her best friend. Carly got upset and demanded an answer in almost "Sam-like-ways" when there were Seddie moments, but when Creddie moments happened Sam embraced it, and I really believe it's due to the fact that she rather have Freddie happy (even if he was with Carly) than to have him date her and being unhappy (or so she thought!) It's a timeless story about the girl who thought she was never going to be good enough for the guy, but in the end, she was all he needed. A serious and classic story that has made it's way into the hearts and viewers of a children's television show. :)
The Ying to their Yang
Freddie and Sam not only know and amplify each others weaknesses and flaws, but they accept and strengthen each other through them.
Sam's weakness is that she has always grown in the shadow of her identical twin sister. Melanie is sweet, smart, dresses nice and seems to have always won the affections of her mother, something that probably has always bothered Sam. Due to her own insecurities on the inside she has made herself stronger on the outside. She doesn't allow anyone to push her around, and she has hardened herself to not care about anything, including her grades. Her family might have messed with her, but she won't allow anyone else that close to get to her... well....that was until Freddie. The sweet, nerdy boy that had a crush on her best friend that not only took her beatings, but cared about her regardless of them. The boy that she thought was cute and nothing else until he slowly began to creep into her life, and into her heart. Freddie is the boy that softens her, the man that tells her through his actions that it's okay to be afraid, and it's okay that you are not perfect, because I care enough about you to always be here for you. Freddie has broken down the walls of Sam Puckett, a feat that no male has been able to accomplish.
Freddie's weakness is that he was never able to stand up for himself. *Assuming* Without a father figure in his life he has allowed himself to become quite the mama's boy. He allowed himself to probably get beaten up in school, get pushed around by teachers, and never say a word of reason against one of his mother's commands-- that is, till Sam came into his life. It's been quite a development in character for Mr. Benson, from being a tiny, mama's boy he has become a handsome young man, confident in himself, his friends, and what he believes in. It wasn't long until he was saying something starky back at Sam Puckett, something he would have never even dared to do prior. Sam has toughened him up, she has made him see his full potential and shown him who he really is. Sam knew that Freddie was a gentlemen deep down, and she also knew that he was kidding himself in his relationship with Carly, so what did she do, she confronted him on a Freddie/Sam level and basically said "I know the real Freddie Benson wouldn't be treating himself this way right now, he is smarter and deserves much better than the "hero" treatment." Sam allows Freddie to reach his balance by filling that fire in his belly, because of her Freddie is able to reach his full potential.
Carly is what he thought he wanted
As posted in Dan's notes on iSYL he has hinted at the possibility of Freddie wanting something a little more, and a little different than "perfect" Carly. While it is still speculated in where Freddie's feelings are now for Carly, we as iCarly/Freddie Benson fans can hope that Freddie has learned his lesson in "fooling himself" and that he is dating Sam for genuine reasons. Sam is exactly the type of girl that Mrs. Benson does not want her son dating.
A cool speculation: Perhaps it's because Mrs. Benson was married to a man much like Mr. Benson (he did like fencing) and doesn't want Freddie to be hurt by the possibility of losing Sam. She is a mother protecting her son from the same fate that she had and has to endure?
It's been a long journey for Seddie and hopefully they can continue to be the ying to their yangs and reach a balance from the help of one another and continue to grow out of their insecure phase. They need to accept one another just as they are, and grow in character because of it.
Well, that wasn't as painful as I thought it was. Of course, I am still a faithful Creddie shipper, but it was fun in a challenging way to take the other side. I'll write more if I think of anything (I don't want to be redundant off of xxiOMGxx).
In the mean time I would love to hear your feedbacks, and I encourage you to write at least ONE comment in why you like the opposing ship. So if you like Seddie, write something nice about Creddie and vice versa. :)

Whether or not bin Laden was a someone or a something matters not. Whatever he was, he was victorious.
For starters, the September 11 attacks bred fear. The shock and awe of the destruction of the Twin Towers, as well as the plane crashes into the Pentagon and the farmer's field in Pennsylvania, have been deeply ingrained in the psyche of the American people. The attacks not only killed thousands that day, but they left millions dreading similar large-scale assaults, as well as smaller ones on public transportation, shopping malls, and schools.
That fear led to the willing abandonment of our constitutional and natural rights of privacy and freedom, all for the assumed salvation of Western Civilization. Too many Americans were more than happy to allow intrusion by the federal government into their personal lives on the slim chance that it might actually catch a foreign or domestic terrorist. Through the likes of the USA PATRIOT Act, wiretapping, domestic surveillance, invasive flight-risk assessments, and other police state tactics, the American people showed their soft underbellies, allowing Congress and the Executive Branch to run roughshod over the world the Creator had made for us and the nation that our Founding Fathers had so wisely bequeathed us. America is forever changed, and we can no longer pursue life, liberty, or happiness without some bureaucrat or agent looking over our shoulder.
Another of bin Laden's goals was the economic destruction of America. He was, in part, quite successful. He may not have orchestrated a total collapse, but he put us on the precipice. Each of the various Homeland Security endeavors costs all levels of the U.S. government a total of $100 billion per year — a cost that hadn't existed prior to 2001. The so-called "War on Terror," whether in Afghanistan, Iraq, or Pakistan, has cost American taxpayers $1.19 trillion dollars so far. These expenses have occurred at a time when the federal government is sinking ever deeper in debt and is unable, or more accurately, unwilling to plan for the future of the vast entitlement programs. The economic hardships spawned by bin Laden, and continuously fed by our military-industrial complex, only add to the fiscal disasters we face.
As of May 1 bin Laden is now "officially" dead. At least that's what the Obama administration would have us believe, even though a body was never presented and many assume he died years ago when his kidneys gave out. Even so, he's still victorious. His death showed that there are a good many "ugly Americans," no better than the barbarians we claim to fight overseas. No sooner was President Obama's Sunday night press conference over than people filled the streets in New York City, Washington, D.C., and college campuses everywhere, reveling in the death of bin Laden. It was a spectacle to behold, with tens of thousands of people rioting in glee over the demise of another human being. If bin Laden and his orchestrations were real, he was certainly amongst the most evil of men, and it was a newsworthy accomplishment that he was caught, but it was classless and totally immoral to throw a party over his death. It should instead have been a somber moment — a time to remember all those he killed and those we sacrificed to find him.
How can parents now explain to their children that it's acceptable to cheer over someone's death? How can we prove to the world that we are better than the terror cells and Islamic fascists who breed hate? We can't, in either of those circumstances. We have seen emotionally-charged and very similar uprisings (yet for entirely different reasons) from our enemies around the world in recent years, and every time we have decried their anti-human sentiments. Yet, here we are guilty of doing the same, showing our own lack of civility.
America is better than that and we must prove it. Somehow, we need to make amends for our boorish behavior of the past two days and show that our American values and Christian ethics are real, not just talk — that we understand that the snuffing out of a human life is not reason to cheer.
If we don't remedy this situation, bin Laden can claim yet another victory, even from the grave.

How to Change Printer Settings in Google Chrome
The printer settings in Google Chrome provide a way to easily change the formatting of a document and adjust the print settings. Business owners can use the browser's Page Properties section to customize their printouts to meet their needs. Whether you need a landscape print to fit a wide bar graph for a presentation or a normal portrait-style print for reports and other documents, Google Chrome provides a way to adjust your print settings to accomodate your needs.
Click the Wrench icon located on the top right side of the Chrome browser.
Select "Print" from the drop-down menu. The Print dialog box appears with a list of possible options specific for your printer.
Click the "Change" button under the Destination section to change the default printer.
Click the "All" radio button under the Pages section to print every page in a document. Select the other radio button to list specific pages you want to print. You can enter a range such as 1-4, or individual pages separated by commas.
Select the number of copies you want to print by using the "+" button under the Copies section to add more copies, or the "-" button to reduce the number of copies.
Choose between Portrait or Landscape modes. Potrait mode prints letter-style copies and landscape mode prints across the length of the paper.
Select the type of margins you want from the drop-down menu in the Margins section.
Click the "Headers and Footers" checkbox if you want to print the headers and footers when printing from the Web.
Click the "Print" button at the top of the page when you're ready to print.
- Determine the type of document you are working with before printing. A page setup with a portrait view won't work well if you try to print in landscape view.
- Click the "Print Preview" option to preview what your print job will look like before sending it to your printer.

Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson Separate
After two years of marriage, Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson have separated, according to TMZ. No details were given except the split is amicable, so I'm going to let these photos do the talking while I curl into the fetal position under my desk and question why God continues to forsake me. Is it because of the atheism? That just seems petty.
UPDATE: Here's the official statement:
After long and careful consideration on both our parts, we've decided to end our marriage. We entered our relationship with love and it's with love and kindness we leave it. While privacy isn't expected, it's certainly appreciated."
Wow. Kind of refreshing to see a celebrity couple have realistic expectations about how this game works. It almost makes me feel bad for breaking into their house in search of Blake Lively's hair follicles. — To prove an affair! To prove an affair. I don't know where you people get your ideas fro- *sniff sniff* She's been in this room.
