Fairfax Area Agency on Aging Recognized for Innovative Programming
National Association of Area Agencies on Aging
The Fairfax County Department of Family Services' Fairfax Area Agency on Aging was awarded two Aging Innovations and Achievement Awards by the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging. The awards were presented at the organization's annual conference in Nashville, Tennessee at an award ceremony on July 22.
The awards recognize the agency's collaboration in two programs: Venture into Volunteering and the Korean Senior Information Line. Sharon Lynn, assistant director of the Fairfax Area Agency on Aging, accepted the award for the Korean Senior Information Line and Trina Mayhan-Webb, regional volunteer manager for the agency's Volunteer Solutions Program, accepted the award for Venture into Volunteering.
Venture into Volunteering is a volunteer recruitment project that recruits boomers and older people to volunteer for county and non-profit agencies. The project sponsored volunteer fairs in Alexandria and Springfield in 2007 and in Herndon on May 2008. Over 600 people attended the events and 70 agencies sent representatives to showcase their opportunities.
Director of the Fairfax Area Agency on Aging Grace Starbird said, "Fairfax County's 50+ Action Plan is clear: 'Engaged older adults benefit us all - fulfilling opportunities for engagement to ensure a vibrant community.'" She added, "There is incredible talent and skill among the boomers and older adults in our community and we are fortunate that so many are willing to contribute time and energy volunteering."
Venture into Volunteering was jointly sponsored by the Fairfax Area Agency on Aging, Volunteer Fairfax, the Retired Senior and Volunteer Program and the Fairfax County Library.
The Korean Senior Information Line (703-324-3543), a collaborative program of the Fairfax Area Agency on Aging and Korean community nonprofits, helps Korean speaking older people access government and community information and services with the assistance of trained Korean speaking volunteers. The program operates out of the Fairfax Area Aging on Aging from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday-Friday. It serves over 30 Korean speaking older people each month.
The agency worked with the Korean Community Service Center of Greater Washington, the Korean Central Senior Center and SeniorNavigator.org to develop the program. The Korean community organizations continue to recruit volunteers and publicize the program.
"We are delighted that our Korean Senior Information Line is receiving national recognition," said Lynn. "Its success shows the benefits of forming partnerships with multicultural community nonprofits to reach non-English speaking older adults," she added.
The Korean Senior Information Line was replicated later in 2007 by the Vietnamese Senior Information Line, another collaborative effort of the Fairfax Area Agency on Aging and local multicultural community organizations.
The agency's efforts to engage boomers and older adults in volunteering and to expand culturally appropriate services to older adults aligns with the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors' Fairfax 50+ Action Plan 2007 for creating services for a more aging friendly community tomorrow. The plan can be found at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/olderadults.
The Fairfax Area Agency on Aging is part of the Department of Family Services' Division of Adult and Aging Services. The division serves older adults, caregivers, and people with disabilities in Fairfax County and the cities of Fairfax and Falls Church.
Fairfax County is committed to nondiscrimination on the basis of disability in all county programs, services and activities. To request this information in an alternate format, call Department of Family Services' Fairfax Area Agency on Aging at 703-324-5411 or TTY 703-449-1186.

How do you feel about Trimble County? Do you have favorite memories or information (or questions) about the county's history? If so, please feel free to start a discussion here and get something started!
My husband and I bought a home a little over 2 years ago in Milton. Right now we live in Columbus, Indiana, but plan to move to Milton full-time after my daughter graduates from high school which will be in about another year. I like Milton and Madison. I hope that Milton seizes the opportunity, when the bridge gets replaced, to spruce up the downtown area with some shops and maybe some restaurants. I think Trimble Co. should become a wet county and have a nice bar/restaurant on the river. My husband and I boat and know a lot of people who would enjoy it. Trimble Co. is losing a lot of tax money to Madison, IN by not allowing alcohol sales. I think the downtown area, just across from the bridge, could be restored beautifully and Milton could have their own festival every year, such as an Oktoberfest similar to the one in Seymour, IN.

Red Sox designate August as "Jimmy Fund Month"
As the Red Sox celebrate 61 years of partnership with the Jimmy Fund, August will again be designated as "Jimmy Fund Month," with the club paying tribute to the Jimmy Fund's remarkable efforts in cancer research, treatment, and care in children and adults at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
To launch the month-long tribute, the Red Sox' Brock Holt will visit with patients at the Jimmy Fund Clinic today, August 1, at 11 a.m.
Prior to each home game throughout the month of August, a Jimmy Fund patient will be honored and will then deliver the game ball to the pitcher's mound.
August begins and ends with large fundraisers for the team's official charity. This year is the 11th anniversary of the Red Sox Foundation's sponsorship of the Pan-Mass Challenge, which takes place August 2-3. This year is also the 13th annual Red Sox Jimmy Fund Radiotelethon on WEEI and NESN, which takes place August 19-20.
The relationship dates back to 1947, when Hall of Famer Ted Williams began visiting patients, often before arriving at the ballpark just up the street. His role as a pioneer in the development of the Jimmy Fund is commemorated in the bronze statue of him with a Jimmy Fund child that stands outside Gate B at Fenway Park.
The Jimmy Fund was formally launched in 1948 when the Variety Club of New England (now known as the Variety Children's Charity of New England) organized a radio broadcast from the bedside of pediatric cancer patient Carl Einar Gustafson, who was nicknamed "Jimmy" because at the time, the stigma of cancer dissuaded people from revealing their names. Members of the Boston Braves took part in this fundraising broadcast, helping raise enough money to purchase a new television set for Jimmy.
From those origins, the Braves began an association with the Jimmy Fund, but when they moved from Boston to Milwaukee in 1953, the Red Sox adopted the Jimmy Fund as their official team charity. The ensuing partnership is the longest of its kind in the history of sport.
The new owners of the Red Sox introduced the radiothon on WEEI in 2002, and NESN added television coverage in 2003. That event alone over the years has generated more than $34.2 million.
The club also became a prominent sponsor of the Pan-Mass Challenge, created by Billy Starr, which has raised a stunning $414 million in its history.
This year, the Jimmy Fund paid tribute to the Red Sox' longstanding partnership. On May 29, Dr. Edward J. Benz, CEO and President of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, unveiled new Red Sox signage on the outside of the Charles A. Dana Building on Brookline Avenue, presented a new Boston Red Sox Jimmy Fund Gallery in the Dana Building lobby chronicling the history of the relationship, and re-named the Dana Building auditorium as the "Boston Red Sox Jimmy Fund Auditorium."

" Brand: Lindam / Type: Sterilisers "
I purchased this steriliser before I gave birth to my daughter, I thought there was not much difference between all of the different steam sterilisers and that this one would suit my needs. I have only had the steriliser for 5 months and already it is broken! It may have been my fault as the button had been pressed accidently when the had been no water added, this therefore knackered the element and has now left me with a broken steriliser. The other problems I found with a steam steriliser was the steamy kitchen it gave me and the foul smell which came from it after just a few uses, it did not matter how many times I cleaned it! I have now bought a microwave steriliser which I find is just wonderful as it leaves me with none of the problems listed above.
I purchased this steriliser half way through my first pregnancy and have just finished using it with my 2nd baby and I am sure it would go on for many more babies bottles (not for me though). The actual size of it is quite big really compared to say a kettle but I have found that you can fit all of the same day bottles in (total of 8 standard size bottles) plus all teats, caps and lids which are stored in the top half of the unit on a separate tray. As the bottom tray is completely flat your are also able to put bottles in with handle grips or feeding bowls which I found very useful and not having to find alternative method of sterilising. Total sterilisation takes approx. 10 mins and comes complete with its own measuring jug. As like all things that have elements it does need cleaning every so often. I used to do this about once a month with ordinary household vinegar (what you use on your chips), fill the measuring jug half with water and the other half with vinegar, switch it on and then once finished did again but with just water and the element would come up really clean. The unit did get quite hot but after 10 minutes it had cooled quite alot and your were able to use again if needed. The best thing I thought about this product is that it does have an automatic switch off which I am thankful for as on 1 occasion I did forget to put the water in.
I was given the Lindam Universal Steam Steriliser by a friend ready for the birth of my first child (Oct 2000). The friend had already used it on one, maybe two of her children, but despite this it is still in perfect working order. It costs £24.99 in Argos at the moment, which is not much more than your average cold-water steriliser, and you won't end up paying for any extras, for example, steriliser tablets or fluid - or new clothes ruined by the solution, from what I've been reading here! - but you don't get any free bottles (which you do with most cold water sterilisers). It fits up to 8 standard feeding bottles, and probably about 5 wide ones (like the Maws heat sensitive ones). It has an accessory tray which sits at the top of the steriliser chamber, above the bottles, for all the small objects (e.g. dummies, caps, teats, lids, etc.) It comes complete with a measuring cup (it takes 85ml of tap water for a cycle), and if you buy it in Argos (I haven't checked anywhere else) you get a free travel steriliser bag! Sterilisation takes approximately 14 minutes but the unit gets very hot, and you need to let it cool a bit before removing any objects. You can use it again after about ten minutes. You know it's on because it makes a noise a bit like a kettle (but quieter) and steam streams out of a little hole in the top! I sit mine beside the cooker and turn the fan on; it sucks up all the steam! Other than that there is a little light on the front which is lit when on. Possibly a negative aspect of this steriliser (or any steam steriliser) is that not everything can be steam sterilised - some dummies, for example. I'm trying to get myself an old-fashioned cold-water steriliser just for such items (e.g. the container I keep equipment in and bottles brushes) but I can't find one anywhere! I'll have to use the washing up bowl for now! Also, the steam steriliser has to be cleaned occasionally; the element in the bo
ttom (as with a kettle) gets a bit mucky. You can buy steam steriliser de-scaling tablets though, but ordinary kettle or multi-purpose de-scalers work fine. Some of the differences between this steriliser and a cold-water steriliser: It costs more; no smelly, bleaching solution; it takes 15 instead of 30 minutes; it uses electricity so is difficult to use for travel. Despite any negatives, however, I definitely prefer to use this steriliser for my baby's feeding equipment because you know they are extremely clean (they've just been subjected to 100 degree heat) and there are no chemicals involved - the same reason I buy organic baby food!
Hi I have two children. For my first child we used the sterilising tablets and sometimes it was a pain as It gave me skin problems due to the solution.This time around we decided to buy a steam steriliser and chose the Lindam. It has worked well for me.Its quick and very easy to use.You just clean out the bottles as normal and put them into the steriliser,the teats and lids all go on a little accessory tray which sits ontop.You use the measuring cup and fill with water which is then put in the bottom of the steriliser.The lid goes on and you switch it on by the power button which can be found on the outside of the chamber. Its a great way to sterilise and can hold up to 8 standard bottles. Good bye bacteria because lindam will destroy you!
After having only a cold water steriliser for my first baby we were promoted to the Lindam Steam Steriliser for my second and boy cant you notice the difference! It was wonderful, wash, rinse, sterilise, simple as that no chemicals nothing I was in my element. Plus if you arrange all the equipment nicely you can make sure you get everything you need in from bottles to cups, dummies to bowls. I love my Lindam steriliser and will now use nothing else! There was even a little measuring cup so you know just how much water to put in and once your clicked on it takes just 15minutes before everythings nice and sterile for your precious little one. The only downside I saw of it was it didnt take long before it was in need of descaling but that was no problem at all, Boots sell a special Steam Steriliser Descaler and that is just as easy to use as the steriliser itself. A pure luxury in itself, whether your on your first baby or your fifth if you've never had one of these before buy one now - you wont know your born!
We thought it would be a good idea to put this on our wedding list, as we got married 5 months before my baby was due, so we got this as a wedding present, it was one of the best and most useful presents that we got, and not that expensive. (cost £23.25 from Argos) It is very quick and easy to use and doesn't use any chemicals, uses just water, and can be dismantled for easy cleaning. It holds 8 standard size bottles or 6 gripper or 5 wide neck bottles in the bottom section and all the accessories, eg teats dummies etc in the top section. It comes complete with a measuring cup so you simply fill it to the mark with water and pour into the bottom of the seriliser, put on the lid and press the button. Sterilisation takes about 12 minutes, and when it has finished it turns off automtically. It takes 10 minutes for it to cool after use before you can use it again. The only bad thing is if I'm in a rush I try to get the bottles out as soon as the cycle has finished and end up burning myself. It also comes with a travel steriliser bag which you fill up with water, put the bottles and accessories into it then put in the microwave. This can be used about 20 times, and is very very quick and convenient, especially if you leave your baby at a friends/relatives house for the day. I would advise anyone looking at buying a steriliser to take a look at this one.
After having 3 children I have had 3 differant steralisers but by far I find this the most usful.When I had my 1st child I had a maws cold water steraliser and he amount of arguments it caused aout filling it was unreal.You had to boil 3 kettles let them cool then put it in the steraliser --a very long process--so when I was pregnant with my 2nd child we bought a Lindam steraliser.It was absolutly fantastic.I think it was about £25 and was worth every penny.All you needed to do was wash your bottels pop them in measure the water in the measuring cup and press on--8mins later they where done.As simple as that! When my son was 1 I sold it only to find out 6 mths later I was pregnant again.By choice I would have bought the same steraliser but my sister bought us the Boots steraliser and matching bottle warmer.It is a about £10 more expensive than the lindam and I just don't like it as much.It doesn't have a measuring cup(small thing but when you have stacked your steraliser up then have to repack it to get a bottle to measure water it can be fustrating)and it takes about 15 mins to complete a cycle.
I have to say that this has been the most used present we received when our twins were born. It fits up to eight bottles at a time including accessories that sit on a shelf at the top and copes with the feeding demands of our two. It is very simple to use and easy to clean. I believe the price was £23.25 which I think is quite reasonable. This certainly beats the older 'Milton' style of sterilising and only takes about fifteen minutes to complete its cycle.

My eight year old twin boys were insulted by how this sounded like a kid's program. The information was good but the presentation was aimed at somebody under six years old. The narrator is way too much "Mr Rogers Neighborhood."
This is not what two eight year old boys wanted to listen to. "Uhh. She sounds silly. That's a kid's program."

Oblivion: Game of the Year edition ships in North Americaposted by Dark0ne Game NewsThe GOTY edition of Oblivion has shipped in North America today for both PC and XBox. Retailing at $50 for PC owners and $60 for XBox360 owners, the game features Oblivion, Knights of the Nine, Shivering Isles and the latest game update. Here's what Ashley Cheng at the Beth Blog has to say:QUOTEFor Oblivion's GOTY implementation, we wanted to make the process easier - both for us and for our fans. We've been working on this version since late last year. The main challenge was figuring out how to include content from Xbox Live on a disk. We asked Microsoft to keep it as simple and intuitive as possible. We wanted the experience of playing Knights and Isles to be exactly the same whether you downloaded them off Xbox Live or purchased them on a disk. What Microsoft came up with was exactly what we needed.
When you open up GOTY for Xbox 360, you'll see two disks. The first disk is the original game, Oblivion - in fact, its the same disk as what is currently at stores now. The second disk has Knights of the Nine, Shivering Isles, and Oblivion's title update. When you insert the second disk, it asks to install the title update first. Afterwards, you have the choice of copying Knights and/or Isles onto your hard drive - as if you purchased them off Xbox Live. Once they are copied, you insert Oblivion and play. We also use this same functionality for the Shivering Isles for Xbox 360 retail disc.

Keep in mind if you are loaded with heavy metals taking a lot of this stuff (over 50mg) could be a bad idea. Large doses will cause a massive redistribution of metals from safe places to unsafe places (brain, heart) which is why many people report adverse reactions. I use this product for chelation but I use it every three hours at 10mg. If I take 150mg I get too many mental symptoms. Potent and effective product.

"Alpha lipoic acid is a fatty acid found naturally inside every cell in the body. It's needed by the body to produce the energy for our body's normal functions. Alpha lipoic acid converts glucose (blood sugar) into energy. Alpha lipoic acid is also an antioxidant, a substance that neutralizes potentially harmful chemicals called free radicals. What makes alpha lipoic acid unique is that it functions in water and fat, unlike the more common antioxidants vitamins C and E, and it appears to be able to recycle antioxidants such as vitamin C and glutathione after they have been used up. Glutathione is an important antioxidant that helps the body eliminate potentially harmful substances. Alpha lipoic acid increases the formation of glutathione." WEb MD

There's nothing wrong with this product. It works for a number of people. But, after comparing a-Lipoic with r-Lipoic, I'll opt for the r-Lipoic.

Good for chelating mercury on Andy Cutler's protocol. It's big dose so be careful. More than 100mg is no suitable for everyone.

My husband takes this. He was borderline diabetic and this seems to have helped to move him out of that category, along with other vitamins.
Excellent price and great product.

Alpha-lipoic acid is an antioxidant that's in many foods, and it's made naturally in our bodies. Alpha-lipoic acid protects against free radicals that can damage the lining of blood vessels and helps with type 2 diabetes,also helps to extinguish inflammation, prevents plaque formation in blood vessels, and lowers triglycerides. You can maintain your still-dewy skin if you add every day ingredients such as vitamin C, vitamin E, green tea, niacinamide, and alpha lipoic acid. I recommend this product! Thanks.

This powerful antioxidant contributes to regulating your blood-sugar levels because it releases energy by burning glucose, and it also helps make you more insulin sensitive. In addition, it has an effect on weight loss because if the glucose is being used for energy, your body releases less insulin and you store less fat. It also supports your liver function, which helps detoxify unwanted hormones. Check out my other reviews on herbs/supplements I take for PCOS.
great price. great dosage. good for skin.

This is a good dosage. I was having some stomach problems at the beginning with other doses. With 150mg I could work my way up. My skin is so much better now.

Li'l JohnnyScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
There's a cute rhyme that chemists often quote:
"Li'l Johnny was a chemist,
But Johnny ain't no more,
'Cause what he thought was H2O,
Was H2SO4!"
Let's assume Johnny is a little smarter and knows H2SO4 as sulfuric acid. He wants to neutralize it. He calls a chemist friend on his cell phone, but the reception is bad. Johnny is able to make out the words "soda" and "lime". Always the impetuous one, Johnny purchases an amount of Diet Coke with Lime equal to the amount of sulfuric acid he wants to neutralize. Johnny's misadventure ends with a bad chemical burn.
Why didn't the soda and lime work?
AnswerWhat Johnny's friend tried to tell him was that he could use "caustic soda", otherwise known as sodium hydroxide, which would result in aqueous sodium sulfate.
Johnny could also have used lime - the MINERAL lime - which when combined with sulfuric acid can create gypsum.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- The medical examiner performed an autopsy Tuesday on the body of a 3-year-old boy whose mother was being held as a suspect in his slaying, but no results were immediately released.
Police have tentatively identified the body of Emilliano Terry, but the medical examiner said DNA tests will be required for a positive ID.
The boy's mother, Camilia Terry, 20, was arrested Monday after his body was found in trash bags at a waste processing site, police said. She initially had reported him missing from a park the day before.
Investigators said the mother's story changed, leading them to suspect that she was involved in his death. FBI agents stopped a garbage truck while searching the neighborhood and went to the trash processing location.
No charges have been filed, and no details about the boy's death have been released.
Terry was in jail Tuesday and couldn't be reached for comment. Her phone voice mailbox was full and couldn't accept messages, and it was unclear if she had retained a lawyer.
Terry had been in county custody from 2009, when she was 17, until February, when she was 19. Young people can stay in county custody after they turn 18 if troubled circumstances warrant and they are pursuing high school diplomas, Cuyahoga County Department of Children and Family Services spokeswoman Mary Louise Madigan said.
Terry was a foster child and remains in touch with her foster parents, Madigan said. Her two other children, sons, one 5 years old and the other 5 months old, are in county custody.
The dead boy is the third generation of his family involved in county social services, Madigan said.
The family history with the agency extends back to 2000, and a neglect complaint against Terry's mother, the dead boy's grandmother. Over the years there were more neglect complaints, some unsubstantiated, and later similar neglect complaints against Terry over the handling of her children, Madigan said.
Terry had her first child in 2007, at age 14, and within months the agency received a neglect complaint against her, Madigan said. Over the years, the mother received financial help for rent, food and energy costs and counseling.
The agency never had a suggestion that Terry might harm her children, Madigan said.
Cleveland's The Plain Dealer newspaper reported that the mother had posted to several online sites used by singers and songwriters.
In one post, she sings a haunting refrain about being in pain from losing someone. One of the lines is, "I had a dream that someone I knew was going to die."
Several videos posted online seem to contain biographical details of her life in foster care, being a single mom, feeling alone and being stressed out.

Margin Pressure and Mortgage Pressure
The central bank has kept the short-term federal funds rate in a target range of zero to 0.25% since late 2008, and the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee on Wednesday said it would continue its purchases of $85 billion a month in long-term securities. Last year this expansion of the Fed's balance sheet was tempered through the sale of $45 billion a month in shorter-term U.S. Treasuries, but those sales have ended. The Open Market Committee has also said that the "exceptionally low range for the federal funds rate will be appropriate at least as long as the unemployment rate remains above 6.5%," assuming that inflation is kept in check. A bank's net interest margin (NIM) is the spread between the average yield on loans and securities investments and the average cost for deposits and borrowing. With most banks already realizing most of the benefit on the cost side, margins are getting squeezed as assets continue to reprice at lower rates. Still, many regional banks have been successful in tempering the blow to net interest income by boosting commercial loan portfolios. Usdin said in a report late Wednesday that "we feel better about estimate sustainability (particularly for larger regionals), but struggle to find much EPS growth through 2014." The analyst noted that for the regional banks covered by his firm, total loans grew 2% sequentially during the fourth quarter, as commercial and industrial lending "ended the year on a high note." Still, he said few investors were "willing to believe it." "We attribute some of the strength to tax planning and are therefore hesitant to revise our loan growth estimates meaningfully higher," he said.

How is this even happening? Mutant retards are taking over this country. When the guy in the video first sips the straw it makes a sound and I just couldn't stop laughing. Everyone needs to go read Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us by Michael Moss. The book should be mandatory ready for every US citizen at this point. I can't stand to look at another fat person. The song Dominator starts the video… he's bigger for sure. Edit: Before I take heat here… I know lots of heavy people that I love, respect etc… just saying it would be better if they were healthy.
"From a Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative reporter at The New York Times comes the explosive story of the rise of the processed food industry and its link to the emerging obesity epidemic. Michael Moss reveals how companies use salt, sugar, and fat to addict us and, more important, how we can fight back." – Amazon

Since the release of the very first Akai EWI, pronounced like "Kiwi", acronym for Electronic Wind Instrument was released in 1987 I wanted one. There's nothing more expressive than the human mouth so even though my lips never touched an EWI I assumed these would sound unique. I have no desire to be a traditional Sax player but imagine adding 16 bars or highly expressive wind driven sound behind your second verse. As I mentioned I never did buy and EWI. When they were release I was 17 years old and anything well over $1000 was going towards a car.
So today I was surprised and happy to see an all new EWI is being released. The new EWI is whistling my name louder than ever because the new kid retails for only $299 and connects via USB. The only thing I dislike about the EWI-USB is that it's missing the glide plate which I think is pretty important for a wind instrument to have. Maybe the EWI 4000 is the still the better choice? Perhaps a EWI-5000 with USB is also on the way?
The EWI USB comes with it's own software synth called Aria but the first thing I would do is pair the hardware with NI Massive or an Ableton Simpler patch loaded a sample with my own voice screaming.
Here's some more resources about EWI's:

Crown Taveners II v Longparish III.
With thunder hanging heavy in the air Longparish III were the only one of the club's senior sides that managed to make it onto the field.
Under 13 Jordan Blackmore took 2-21 and U15 Dan Bearpark 1-22 but U15 Harry Samways put in a superb performance and confirmed his burgeoning reputation as an opening bowler with 8.3 overs, 4-4 as Crown Taverners II were all out for 101. Trevor Walters hit back with 3 -19 for Taverners but an impressive 37 from U15 Jamie Blackmore saw Longparish III past their target with 23 overs remaining.
Bishops Waltham U15 v Longparish U15.
Longparish U15's fine form continued with a convincing win at Bishops Waltham. Dan Bearpark hit 19 and William Samways 29 but Callum Giles top scored with an unbeaten 30 as they closed on 132-4 from their 20 overs. Harry Samways, Alex Brinton, Jamie Blackmore and William Arnold all picked up wickets as the Bishops Waltham reply first fell behind the rate and ended 37 runs short with three wickets remaining.
Compton and CF U13 v Longparish U13.
Longparish U13 crashed out of the Barfoot Cup at the second round stage against a strong Compton and CF U13 side. Batting first Callum Giles and Hamish Janaway hit 22 apiece and skipper William Samways notched another unbeaten 30 as Longparish set a target of 107 for victory. Jordan Blackmore picked up an early wicket but Trodd, 29, Deacon, 30 and Jameel 25 saw Compton and CF through to the quarter-final.
Bishops Waltham U11 v Longparish U11.
Harry Cardno, Liam Whitehorn, Ben Wills and Ben Arnold picked up wickets for Longparish U11 in this quarter-final of the Oliver Plate competition as Bishops Waltham U11 closed on 108 from their 20 overs.
Cardno and Whitehorn were also in the runs at the top of the Longparish order and a superb unbeaten 30 from Daniel Parkyn kept his side in an exciting run chase that ultimately fell seven runs short.

Muskingum College Professors Publish Books in 2005
In 2005, three Muskingum College faculty members published well-received books in their academic fields. They are Assistant Professor of English Dr. Jane Varley, Associate Professor of Art Yan Sun, and Assistant Professor of Sociology Dr. Sandra Schroer.
Flood Stage and Rising, written by Dr. Jane Varley, tells the story of a catastrophic natural disaster from Varley's deeply personal point of view. In April of 1997, Varley was living in Grand Forks, North Dakota. That town was devastated by a once-in-a-lifetime flood that led to a month-long disaster, and the book is Dr. Varley's account of both the town's and her own struggle to survive and rebuild both the town and the spirits of its residents. The book was published by the University of Nebraska Press.
"Dr. Varley has the eye of a poet, with a true poet's effervescent acuity for the natural world, and she weaves a lovely metaphor for herself and the countryside of her passion in this thoughtful, defining memoir with a story as gripping as a novel," said Larry Woiwode, author of Beyond the Bedroom Wall and What I Think I Did, in his review of the book.
Dr. Varley is the advisor of First Circle, the college's annual literary magazine, and teaches writing and literature. In 2003, she received the William Oxley Thompson Award for Excellence in Teaching. She earned her bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Idaho and her doctoral degree from the University of North Dakota.
Life. Time. Space. Paintings by Yan Sun is the latest volume of work by Yan Sun. A total of 66 paintings are featured in this book, published by the William & Elizabeth Hayden Museum of American Art.
"That Yan Sun will continue to build on his already significant maturity and continue to produce masterful works of art is without question," writes William deG. Hayden, M.D., Hayden Museum of American Art in Paris, Texas, in the book's foreword. "The view has the unusual experience of being able to enjoy the picture twice, immediately for its technical merit and subsequently for its explanation of content," Dr. Hayden continues.
Professor Sun received an M.F.A. degree in painting and drawing from Texas A&M University-Commerce. He earned an M.A. degree in art history from the Xi'an Art Institute, and a B.F.A. in painting and drawing from Northwest Normal University in Lanzhou, China. In 2001, he received the William Oxley Thompson Award for Excellence in Teaching.
Dr. Sandra Schroer, assistant professor of sociology, is the author of State of "The Union": Marriage and Free Love in the Late 1800s, published in October 2005 by Routledge.
Dr. Schroer joined the Muskingum faculty in 2004 and earned B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees from Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo. Her research is focused on multiple aspects of human sexuality and gender.

What happens when a bear literally walks into a bar?
Customers at Lonigan's Pub didn't seem to notice when an unusually burly visitor walked into the Estes Park bar last week.
A security camera was rolling when a black bear briefly wandered into the bar around 9:30 p.m. Thursday.
Dave Callahan, the bar's owner, told 9NEWS that a hotel employee heading to work in his car saw the bear enter his establishment. The man stopped, got out of his car and followed the bear in with a camera.
Security footage shows the bear ambling past empty tables and chairs. It then turned around and left.
Callahan said patrons at the front of the bar didn't even notice the animal over the music. Callahan said he didn't even know about the bear's visit until the next morning, when he reviewed the security footage.
This was not the first time a bear visited Callahan's bar. He said a bear walked into his saloon around 12 years ago. He said it was the same scenario: the bear walked in and then left without incident.

Inspirational drama has local ties, local fans
A local talk show host has put her support behind an independent film made in North Texas and screening Friday at three theaters in the region.
Theresa Westbrook, the host of the local public access show Time With Theresa, said she's been campaigning to get Beyond the Farthest Star in local cinemas since the National Christian Media Association learned about it.
Westbrook, a core team leader of the media association's Dallas chapter, said independent films — especially inspirational films like Beyond the Farthest Star — have a hard time getting distribution into national chain multiplexes.
"It is very difficult to get theaters to screen independent films, much less a film that is considered inspirational or faith-based," said Westbrook, who also runs a ministry that serves victims of childhood sexual abuse called Pearls of Shalom. "It is time for this to change, and I believe we are seeing progress. … I promote Beyond the Farthest Star because it contains a story of value to audiences of all ages and it is well-written and produced by professionals in the film industry that are Christians."
Executive producer Benjamin Dane said the film doesn't preach. Beyond the Farthest Star tells the story of a pastor who was on track to become the next Billy Graham, only to lose several jobs serving churches because of his disruptive, rebellious daughter.
"It's taken from actual events," Dane said. "The writer-director Andrew Librizzi grew up in New Jersey and became a youth pastor. He heard a lot of family issues and youth issues, and he also adopted a girl from his wife's previous relationship. Where he grew up in New Jersey, a nativity was vandalized"
Dane said Librizzi took those experiences and the nativity burning and wrote the story of pastor Adam Wells (Todd Terry), his wife, Maureen (Renee O'Connor, Xena: Warrior Princess), and their daughter, Anne (Cherami Leigh, best known as the voice of Lucy Heartfilia in the animated series Fairy Tale).
After losing another ministry to his daughter's troubles, the Rev. Wells moves the family to a rural Texas town. Anne sticks out like a sore thumb in her dark clothes and darker moods.
"In the story, the family isn't all that different from the family in the film American Beauty," Dane said. "It's a broken family. They have an austere appearance, but everything is not OK. There are missing pieces and they are searching for answers."
The focus of the film is Anne's difficulties. She doesn't fit in easily with her family, and she has difficulties in her new school.
"She gets involved in this garage band and connects with Stephen [played by Tyler Corie, of Denton], who is kind of a rodeo kid," Dane said. "He's enamored with her."
Just as Stephen gets Anne to lower her guard, a triangle forms. Kyle, Stephen's best friend feels like the new girl in town is a threat to the boys' friendship. Enter a mysterious man seen coming and going from the Wells' home and the tension escalates.
Dane said the producers have been pleased with early buzz for the movie.
"It's definitely a faith-based film. It's not a ministry movie — not a preachy movie," Dane said. "The father's change is as important as the changes the others go through. There are subtle messages of faith, but it's like Joyriders or Soul Surfer. It's not a butterfly and puppy dog film."
Librizzi's story has taken 10 years to get to the cinema. Dane said the producers have used focused marketing — to families who are on the lookout for films with a G, PG or PG-13 rating and to churches and church youth groups.
They've invited people to use social media — Facebook, Twitter and other sites — to show their interest in seeing the film. Once they sell 500 tickets for a specific screening — like Friday's screenings in Southlake and Plano — the local cinemas reserve a screening theater for a showing.
The special dates lure distributors to pick up the movie for wide release. The producers of the movie hope it will be released in a theatrical run next year.
The film was shot in Hunt, Fannin and Dallas counties in 2010.
"We kind of took over North Texas," Dane said. "Film is not for the faint of heart. You want to do a story that is authentic. You want a story that is real. I think that it's needed. But there isn't always room for that in the industry. In the industry, it's very hard, even with independent film, to get distribution. But we're proud of it, and the feedback we've gotten so far has been incredible."
Dane said the Motion Picture Association of America, the group that rates a film's suitability for children and adults, contacted the producers with praise. The screenplay also inspired a four-book series of novels by popular Christian historical fiction writers Bodie and Brock Thoene.
Dane said the project also inspired one of the last paintings by Thomas Kinkade, the famous "painter of light." Kinkade had produced a watercolor study inspired from the movie, but didn't turn it into an oil on canvas or a print before his death in 2012.
"We had a test screening in Dallas, and the CEO for Thomas Kinkade saw the film," Dane said. "After he saw it, he told one of the crew, he said, 'I've got to cancel my business trip. I have to go fix my family.' Thomas Kinkade saw the film after that."
Westbrook said she hasn't had Dane or Librizzi on her talk show, but would like to.
"I have been following this movie almost from the beginning of production," she said. "I have seen several clips from the movie and heard many talks regarding this film at our meetings. I haven't had a chance to get the filmmakers scheduled for a taping yet. But of course, they are on my list to have on the show and talk about the movie, and more."
Friday's screenings are at the Harkins Southlake 14, Cinemark West Plano and the Majestic 12 Theatre in Greenville.
Screenings are at 11 a.m., 2 p.m., 4:50 p.m., 7:45 p.m. and 10 p.m. at Cinemark West Plano, 3800 Dallas Parkway. Actors Terry O'Connor, Leigh and Barry Corbin (Northern Exposure, No Country for Old Men) will attend the 7:45 p.m. screening. For tickets, visit http://bit.ly/H57xYD.
Screenings are 10 a.m., 12:50 p.m., 3:40 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 9:20 p.m. at the Harkins Theatre in Southlake, 1450 Plaza Place. For tickets, visit http://bit.ly/1bA5VAi.

OWASP AJAX Security Guidelines
- 1 AJAX Security Guidelines
- 1.1 Client Side (Javascript)
- 1.1.1 Use .innerText instead of .innerHtml
- 1.1.2 Don't use eval
- 1.1.3 Canonicalize data to consumer (read: encode before use)
- 1.1.4 Don't rely on client logic for security
- 1.1.5 Don't rely on client business logic
- 1.1.6 Avoid writing serialization code
- 1.1.7 Avoid building XML dynamically
- 1.1.8 Never transmit secrets to the client
- 1.1.9 Don't perform encryption in client side code
- 1.1.10 Don't perform security impacting logic on client side
- 1.2 Server Side
- 1.1 Client Side (Javascript)
AJAX Security Guidelines
There is a complete lack of guidelines for AJAX. This document will provide a starting point for AJAX security and will hopefully be updated and expanded reasonably often to provide more detailed information about specific frameworks and technologies.
Client Side (Javascript)
Use .innerText instead of .innerHtml
The use of .innerText will prevent most XSS problems as it will automatically encode the text. Only use innerHtml when you are displaying HTML.
Don't use eval
Eval is evil, never use it. Needing to use eval usually indicates a problem in your design.
Canonicalize data to consumer (read: encode before use)
When using data to build HTML, script, CSS, XML, JSON, etc. make sure you take into account how that data must be presented in a literal sense to keep it's logical meaning. Data should be properly encoded before used in this manner to prevent injection style issues, and to make sure the logical meaning is preserved.
Check out the OWASP Encoding Project.
Don't rely on client logic for security
Least ye have forgotten the user controls the client side logic. I can use a number of browser plugging to set breakpoints, skip code, change values, etc. Never rely on client logic.
Don't rely on client business logic
Just like the security one, make sure any interesting business rules/logic is duplicated on the server side less a user bypass needed logic and do something silly, or worse, costly.
Avoid writing serialization code
This is hard and even a small mistake can cause large security issues. There are already a lot of frameworks to provide this functionality. Take a look at the JSON page for links.
Avoid building XML dynamically
Just like building HTML or SQL you will cause XML injection bugs, so stay way from this or at least use an encoding library to make attributes and element data safe.
Check out the OWASP Encoding Project.
Never transmit secrets to the client
Anything the client knows the user will also know, so keep all that secret stuff on the server please.
Don't perform encryption in client side code
Use TSL/SSL and encrypt on the server!
Don't perform security impacting logic on client side
This is the overall one that gets me out of trouble in case I missed something :)
Server Side
Protect against JSON/JavaScript Hijacking
Use CSRF protection
Proper CSRF protection ensures that attackers without access to the same origin as the data returned from the server cannot make the server respond with confidential and use JavaScript Hijacking to access it.
Always return JSON with an Object on the outside
Always have the outside primitive be an object for JSON strings:
[{"object": "inside an array"}]
Not exploitable:
{"object": "not inside an array"}
Also not exploitable:
{"result": [{"object": "inside an array"}]}
Avoid writing serialization code. Remember ref vs. value types!
Writing serialization code in .NET seems not to hard and yet everyone gets it wrong. Look for an existing library that has been reviewed. I'll post more on that as I eval them.
Services can be called by users directly
Even though you only expect your AJAX client side code to call those services the users can too. Make sure you validate inputs and treat them like they are under user control (because they are!).
Web service calls are not schema verified
You need to use a 3rd party library to validate web services.
Check out OWASP .NET Web Service Validation.
Avoid building XML by hand, use the framework
Use the framework and be safe, do it by hand and have security issues. Simple.
Avoid building JSON by hand, use an existing framework
This is to hard to get right. Use existing code for this. Check out the JSON site for information.
A guide for building a secure AJAX service layer can be found here.

A week-long series of events highlighting the benefits and importance of good health will kick off at County Hall, in Trowbridge, on Friday.
The interactive Health Fair, run by Wiltshire Council with partner organisations, will focus on different aspects of good health and what people can do to get healthy for 2013.
Themes will include healthy eating, advice and support on quitting smoking and a focus on mental health.
Maggie Rae, corporate director, said: "Our Health Fair is an opportunity for people to get practical advice from a range of professionals on how they can improve their health.
"Over time small steps and changes can make a big difference to our health and wellbeing, and there is no better time to make the change than in the new year."
Keith Humphries, cabinet member for public health and protection services, said. "I am grateful to all of the organisations that we work closely with for taking part in our Health Fair. Their advice and guidance will be invaluable for those who come along."
In addition to Friday's launch, at 10am, the fair will be open daily in the Atrium at County Hall from Monday to Friday February 8, 10am-2pm, where the public will have the opportunity to learn about mental health and alcohol awareness and be involved with physical activities.

Thanks to the Texas Outdoor Family program, families have the chance to learn the basics of camping and enjoy the great outdoors. The outdoor family program is hosting a number of camping workshops in state parks across Texas, including two in and around the Houston area. During these overnight workshops, participants learn the skills needed to survive outdoors, including how to set up and break down camp, how to start a fire, and outdoor cooking lessons. In addition, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will provide all the camping equipment needed as well as lead a day's worth of activities catered to all ages. Activities are specific to each park location and include trail exploration, nature activities and various outdoor activities. "These workshops are great for people to be able to experience a new activity with the family that they maybe have never done before or not done in a long time," said Rob Owen, the outdoor education coordinator for Houston area parks. There are plenty of chances to take advantage of this unique opportunity in the Houston area. Huntsville State Park is hosting a workshop the weekend of March 20-21. In addition to the nature activities offered at every park, campers will get a chance to learn how to kayak and how to fish. They also will be introduced to the sport of geocaching, a high-tech scavenger hunt in which campers use Global Positioning System devices to find hidden treasures. Brazos Bend State Park will hold a weekend workshop on April 10-11. Campers will learn the basics of fishing and have a chance to go on an interpretive trail hike led by one of the experienced rangers. Other activities include a State Park Junior Ranger Certification program for kids and "Leave No Trace," which teaches environmental awareness and principles when camping outdoors. Each workshop costs $55 and covers the cost of up to six people, park entry, campsite rental, equipment, park ranger-led instruction, park-specific activities and a state park Junior Ranger certification program. All campers are asked to bring are a sleeping bag or bedding and food and drink. They also will be provided with a list of suggested items they could bring. "There's not a whole lot of investment into this because we provide the gear and instruction," said Owen. "It gives people the opportunity to be outside and utilize these state parks that belong to them; we hope it will open their eyes to this treasure they have, and give them the opportunity to get out and do something fun and in a different setting." For more information on the workshops and this spring's schedule, visit the Texas Outdoor Family Web page. Families may register by calling (512) 389-8903 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. and speaking to a Texas Outdoor Family representative or by sending an email to email@example.com anytime. After registration, a confirmation packet with details will be sent. --- On the Net: http://tpwd.texas.gov/learning/bof/ -30-

Colorado movie theatre reopens with The Hobbit screening
Suspected gunman James Holmes allegedly opened fire on cinema-goers during a midnight showing of Batman movie The Dark Knight Rises at the Century 16 complex in Aurora last summer (Jul12), killing 12 film fans and injuring 58 others.
The cinema has remained closed for six months as the local community struggled to come to terms with the atrocity, but it reopened on Thursday with a ceremony of remembrance followed by a private screening of The Lord of the Rings prequel for survivors and victims' families.
However, many of those affected by the shooting criticised the reopening plans and boycotted the event.
In a previously released letter to bosses of the cinema complex, they wrote, "Our family members will never be on this Earth with us again and a movie ticket and some token words from people who didn't care enough to reach out to us, nor respond when we reached out to them to talk, is appalling."
Holmes, 25, is awaiting arraignment on 166 charges – including murder and attempted murder – stemming from the 20 July (12) rampage. He is due back in court in March (13).

This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
When one of your receivers is DHB it HAS to put a hitch in your giddyup as a QB. Let's assume DHB is the first option on a route. Wellll.... no matter what you see how can you not hesitate for a beat wondering if you should throw it to him in about any given situation? Or should you take a look at your 2nd and 3rd options first... just in case? Or what if you're going thru your options and everyone is covered fairly well... and then you come to DHB. Do you immediately let it fly or do you pause to see if anyone else got some separation before you go back to DHB? And even when he's open and you've decided you will throw to him... do you throw instinctively or do you pause and think about touch you should put on the ball specifically for DHB?
I just can't imagine how having DHB on the field cannot cause Luck to hesitate. And with the Colts' line there's just not time for that.
Seriously, I think you just have to get him off the field and just move on. I'd take a receiver that MIGHT get open versus DHB who can get open... but can't catch the ball. With the loss of Reggie (and Ballard, Allen, Bradshaw...), the OL problems, and play calling it has become a real serious issue IMHO.
Luck doesn't have time to hesitate wondering about DHB or even waste time looking his direction. That pass today was inexcusable. Especially when it's not the outlier.

I typically declined, as I have continued to do when attending the OF, with one more recent exception (some nuns at a monastery I was staying made me do it!), but I have to admit that I've never been able to articulate my reasons for not wanting to act as a lector very clearly.
But I came across a blog post (thanks to The Pulp.It) this morning that nicely articulates at least some of the reasons why I think those attending the Ordinary Form should be encouraging the priest (or deacon if present) to do the readings rather than agreeing to act as lector themselves.
The bad reasons!
Some traditionalists, of course, take a fundamentalist view of St Paul's injunctions on women speaking in Church, and laud the more restricted role of the laity in general, and women in particular, in the EF Mass on this basis.
But in my view that doesn't cut any ice.
In the case of women in the EF there are strong precedents set by what nuns are permitted to do in their own chapels.
There are the permissions for women to sing in the choir (and congregation).
There are the permissions for the dialogue Mass.
Moreover, the 1917 Code of Canon Law explicitly permitted a woman to say the server's responses from the pews if no one else is available to say them (on the basis that it really is supposed to be a dialogue, and Mass without anyone but the priest present was reserved for cases of emergency only, such as the need to consecrate in order to give Viaticum).
And in the case of the laity in general, many EF Sunday Masses around this country actually involve far more laity in the liturgical action - in the form of the elaborate liturgical dance rubrics prescribed for the crowd of servers, not to mention the song of the choir - than the typical OF Mass!
The unity of word and sacrament
So why are the readings a particular problem so far as the lay engagement is concerned?
In a post on the problem of lay 'homilies' Fr Mullady OP has written a piece for EWTN that I think sets out nicely the reasons why lay lectors are problematic. His argument is actually about why lay homilies are not generally permitted.
Essentially, he points out that there is supposed to be an intrinsic unity between the Word of God in the readings, the homily, and the consecration of the Eucharist. Having layperson give the homily, he argues, breaks that intrinsic unity. He doesn't say so (for obvious reasons), but his argument applies equally, I think, to the permitted option in the OF (but not requirement) of the laity doing the first and second readings:
"...the necessary relation between the liturgy of the Word, and the liturgy of the Eucharist. There are some people in the Church who consider this relationship to be accidental. This impression might have been created by the fact that the laity are permitted, in the ordinary form, to be lectors at Mass, and to participate in an action that is central to the celebration of Mass, something which does not take place in the extraordinary form. As the homily is, in a certain sense, the culmination of the liturgy of the Word, it could be construed by some that it does not matter who gives it as long as they are competent.
In fact, Vatican II is clear that there is an intense relationship between Word and Sacrament at the sacrament of all sacraments, the Mass. "The Eucharist appears as the source and the summit of all preaching of the gospel" (Presbyterorum Ordinis, 5). The explanation of the faith is central as a preparation to the actual carrying out of the action of the whole Church by which the paschal event is made present to the faithful. Both word and sacrament must be intimately connected, as are knowledge and love. As such, the homily is meant to bridge that gap, and stands at the culmination of the word, and the beginning of the action of love itself. In principle, only the ministers who directly participate in the act of transubstantiation—namely: bishop, priest or deacon—have the right and faculty to preach. This is made clear in the canon mentioned in the question which clearly states: "The most important form of preaching is the homily, which is part of the liturgy itself, and is reserved to a priest or deacon" (Canon 767)...."
Reductionist views of the priesthood
We live in a time where reductionist views of the ministerial priesthood have become the norm.
Where many would reduce the role of the priest to those parts of the Mass that only he can do, at the expense both of his broader role in the Mass and the sacraments more generally, not to mention his much broader pastoral responsibilities. It is a disease that has infected even some EF priests.
We need to take all opportunities open to us to fight this pernicious infection.
