2. Cloth napkins should have a buttonhole in one corner. I learned this some time ago while riding on an airplane. It is not so important for women, but is a great boon for men. You can button the napkin to your shirt at any level you want, and it will stay put. If you are wearing a tie, you can easily tuck it under the napkin. (Note to local restaurants: Start putting buttonholes in your napkins and you will have a leg up on your competitors.)
3. Retail stores in shopping malls are making a serious mistake when they play loud music. When I am shopping, I try not to go into those stores, because the music is almost always unpleasant, because it is too loud, and also because of the choice of music. It must be really bad for employees, who have to put up with it all day long (not to mention the damage to their hearing).
4. Everyone who goes to the movies complains about the ads and the previews that we have to endure before the movie starts. Theater owners will claim that their customers like these, but that is not true. One thing that might help would be a "truth in advertising" law that would require theater owners to disclose the time that the movie really starts, after all of the ads and previews are over. Then we could plan to arrive just a few minutes before that.
5. The bigger the company, the more cavalier they are about service. If you call a plumber who has a family business, he will tell you when he will come to your house, and that is when he will come. A retail store that is going to make a delivery will provide a two-hour "window" and promise to deliver during that time. Someone like the phone company or the cable TV company, however, will expect you to be home all morning or afternoon to wait for service. Then their repairman shows up with 10 minutes to spare and tells you he does not have time to fix the problem and will have to return on another day.
6. The power of the president of the United States is not unlimited. That bears repeating. The power of the president of the United States is not unlimited. Our president learned this recently when a federal appellate court ruled that his appointments to the National Labor Relations Board were invalid because they were made in violation of the requirements of the Constitution.
7. People should not talk on cell phones in restaurants. In opinion No. 2 above, I gave a good idea to local restaurants about cloth napkins. Here is another helpful pointer. Enforce a policy that says, "Cell phones shall not be used in the restaurant; violators will have soup spilled in their laps."
8. There needs to be some incentive for businesses to have a live person answer their telephones. Aren't you tired of hearing, "Your call is important to us. Please hold"? If it is so important, why don't they talk to you? And how about "Please listen carefully, as our options have recently changed." This might be believable if it were not for the fact that every company uses that line all of the time. Apparently, all of their options are in a constant state of flux. Who wants to do business with a company like that?
9. And finally, some distressing economic news. When the European Union was formed, it set economic criteria for members. No country could join if its national debt was more than 60 percent of its annual gross domestic product. Today, the national debt of the United States is more than $16 trillion, and that is more than our annual gross domestic product. (National debt exceeds 100 percent of gross domestic product.) America's balance sheet is in such bad shape that we could not qualify to join the European Union!
To see how you did, give yourself 10 points for each opinion with which you agree. You really should get 90 points. However, you may have gotten less if you own a movie theater, run a cable TV company or play loud music in your store.
And you might have disagreed with No. 6 if you are a Democrat. Therefore, 70 points will be considered a passing score. Less than that, and you may want to try again.

Topic: Intro
Hello Everyone.
My name is Terri. My husband Ken(45yr) was diagnosed 1 yr ago with CC. Long story short-had successful 80% liver resection by Dr Esquivel at Stanford in 7/05. Was treated here in Reno for 7 months with Gemzar. At the end of treatment had a baseline scan done that showed the cancer had returned. Dr Esquivel said because of the placement of the new tumor, no surgery was possible. He referred us to Dr Goodman at Stanford for the Cyberknife treatment. Cyberknife was done 5/06. Yesterday had a 6wk follow up and the PET scan was CLEAR! Follow up scans planned for 6 wks and 3 months. By no means is the battle over, but it was great to finally have some ggod news. I would totally recommend Stanford for anyone!

Starkey, Palmer deliver big hits as Guyer rallies
Every time Guyer sophomore Shayne Starkey made contact with the ball Tuesday night, she let out a scream.
The last time she made contact in the pivotal District 5-4A matchup with district co-leader Wichita Falls Rider, the scream was a little bit louder.
Starkey drove a ball to the right field wall off star pitcher Abby Donnell in the bottom of the sixth inning, providing the first hit of the night for the Lady Wildcats and a key part of a late rally en route to a 2-1 win over the Lady Raiders.
"She was still spinning the ball really well," Starkey said of Donnell, a Texas A&M signee who took a no-hitter into the sixth with the help of a dominant rise ball. "I just learned to sit back on that rise ball a little more and get on top of it."
Starkey's triple might have been the first hit of the night for Guyer (16-2-1, 4-1 district), the 22nd-ranked team in the Texas Girls Coaches Association's Class 4A state poll, but it didn't start the Lady Wildcats' rally.
Guyer coach Keith Medford, who picked up his 299th career victory, decided to let right fielder Molly Dolezel, the flex player, hit for the designated player. Cold off the bench, Dolezel led off the sixth against the hard-throwing Donnell.
She was down in the count 1-2 before fouling off a pitch and eventually drawing a hard-earned walk. After a failed sacrifice bunt attempt, leadoff hitter Kaitlyn Thomas moved Dolezel to second base to set up Starkey's game-tying heroics.
"Molly had a great at-bat," Medford said. "It was a walk, and you don't really consider that a great at-bat most of the time. … We started trying to work the count a little bit. There's a happy medium where you want to attack a strike against a kid like that, but you have to take some pitches in that situation and hopefully get something to hit."
After Starkey broke up Donnell's no-hit bid and tied the game, Donnell's counterpart stepped to the plate after striking out and being drilled in the back by a pitch earlier in the game.
In the sixth inning, however, Suzette Palmer got her revenge and sunk No. 15 Rider (18-3-1, 3-2) while keeping Guyer in a first-place tie with Fort Worth Brewer and No. 11 Trophy Club Nelson.
Palmer hit a 3-2, two-out pitch to the right-center field gap for a triple of her own to score Starkey.
"We just adjusted," Palmer said. "Good hitters adjust. That's what we did, and it worked."
Palmer wasn't so bad in the circle herself, giving up two first-inning singles, including one from Katy Hill that scored Stacey Fosnaugh, but a relay from Guyer center fielder Kennedy Been ended up looming large later in the game.
On Hill's RBI single to center, Karly Gibson was on first base. Hill took second base on Been's throw to Palmer, the cutoff man. Palmer threw to shortstop Kaitlyn Thomas, who was covering second, but Hill slid under the tag. At that point, Gibson took off for home and Thomas threw to catcher Megan Washam, who applied the tag to end the inning and keep Rider's lead at 1-0.
Palmer didn't allow another hit until the top of the seventh, when she gave up a two-out single before Thomas made an over-the-shoulder catch running out into center field to end the game.
"She pitched good enough to win tonight," Medford said of his senior pitcher. "For her to get that opportunity to win it offensively is pretty special too. You could see it in her eyes. We went and talked before that at-bat, and she wanted to win it. She wanted it. I keep saying this about her, but it's just grit and sheer determination. That's how she's been her whole career — no different tonight."

Efficient news production requires streamlined workflows and efficient use of resources.
Media Backbone Hive is an end-to-end environment that integrates every step of the news production process, from planning, acquisition, ingest and editing to playout and archive.
Hive system allows journalists and production teams to share content and metadata in a networked, collaborative workflow, providing a measurable business benefit to broadcasters. Based around industry-standard IT components, Media Backbone Hive is flexible, scalable and cost-effective, and is ready to meet the challenges of tomorrow's evolving media environment.
The future of broadcast production will depend on broadcasters harnessing the potential of a streamlined networked media workflow. With Hive, you can transform the efficiency of your business and stay ahead of the competition, today and tomorrow.
As the winner of both the IABM Game Changer Award in the hotly contested Post Production category, and the prestigious Peter Wayne Award for Design & Innovation, Hive has been recognised as bringing cutting-edge solutions to the broadcast industry.
Ideally suited for broadcast news, sports, and magazine production, Media Backbone Hive is the end-to-end production environment that integrates planning, acquisition, editing, playout, distribution and archive into a seamless file-based workflow across all platforms.
Leading-edge metadata handling and fast, creative content management make Hive the best production environment available today. And because the entire system is built on open standard software and uses off-the-shelf hardware, not only it is compatible with legacy systems and easily scalable, but it can offer cost-effective points of entry and avoid the risks associated with traditional infrastructure projects.
Staying ahead of the competition means getting content out faster, reaching across both broadcast and online media – and optimising resources across TV, web and mobile.
When timing and content are everything – and the need to drive down cost a prerequisite – a flexible, efficient workflow that increases productivity and creativity means more than streamlined production. It becomes fundamental to the success of you day-to-day operations.
Hive transforms production and enables a smooth, seamless workflow. With journalists, editors, producers, directors other content users able to originate, share and repurpose content in a truly collaborative file-based network, Hive drives creativity and reduces costs.
Built on the latest data centre class technologies, Hive offers a rich toolset, APIs, and customisation capabilities that enable flexible and powerful workflow and content management.
Hyper Convergent Nodes provide extreme resiliency and dynamic scaling (both down as well as up) of storage and processing, on-premise and/or in the Cloud. This means no more investment in under-utilised assets. With this architecture expanding involves auto distributing resources across the newly added expansion, which then unleashes more capacity, bandwidth, and processing. Even software upgrades may be applied whilst the system is live eliminating down time.
Hive makes production quicker, simpler, more creative and more cost-effective than ever before.
By seamlessly integrating critical third-party tools, delivering flexible file management and offering fast, easy to use embedded applications, Hive streamlines new producution, enabling optimised workflows.
Hive enables you to integrate and streamline the entire news production toolset. Your journalists will get intuitive web-based applications allowing them to access everything they need from a single location.
Hive has been architected from the ground up on high performance, enterprise-class datacentre technologies. You can scale down as well as up to fit business demand, enabling you to get the resources you need while better managing costs.
Media Backbone Hive has a planning function enabling tasks to be prepared in advance, segmented according to activities and assigned comprehensive and relevant metadata. These planning tasks can be linked to media (XDCAM Disk, SxS and P2 cards) to streamline and speed-up ingest, search and production. The planning functionality seamlessly integrates with Newsroom Computer Systems (NRCS) to further enrich the workflow and provide a significant journalistic enhancement by directly linking the media, content and placeholders to the story. The planning process and total Hive workflow can be taken to an even more sophisticated level when combined with wireless workflows and wireless enabled cameras. Assignments and stories can be automatically synchronised with the filed operations and content can be seamless linked back to base as it is captured.
The move from tape to digital enabled innovative new workflows to develop –Hive extends those advantages into the field. By enabling the automatic creation of metadata, EssenceMark™ data, field logging, storyboarding, proxy EDL and more, content can be developed faster and more efficiently – and in higher quality.
With a wide range of inputs – live event, tape-based, disc- or card-based media, or file contributions, Media Backbone Hive manages ingest from a dedicated terminal. Timed, scheduled and ad-hoc manual recordings can be managed and monitored – metadata and EssenceMark™ data can be added and annotated automatically. And because it accepts file-based content from third-party systems and agencies as well as real-time connection to regions and bureau operations, Hive makes ingest streamlined and efficient.
For breaking news or sports events, User-Generated Content (UGC) can be utilised as soon as it is received – ensuring that output to web, mobile or traditional TV is up to the second. The UGC also allows the creation of bespoke apps to enable contribution from local communities, wider audiences or even world-wide – so that breaking events are captured as they happen.
Fully integrated with newsroom systems, from planning, editing, playout and archive (near-line or third-party) Hive facilitates search and browse, logging, storyboarding, and even finished editing with voice-over and effects. And because material and metadata are linked to the story as it develops and running order and status are constantly updated, everyone instantly shares the same up-to-the-second information essential in a high-pressure newsroom.
The Hive native editor provides a comprehensive craft editing tool fully integrated to the Hive system. By handling proxy and SD, HD and 4K material on a single timeline, content is available for output at the earliest opportunity. Storyboards or projects from the newsroom Hive proxy or the web-based field tools can be crafted to a more polished finish. HTML5 apps support remote workflows whilst the integration with Adobe Premiere enables a seamless production workflow with the other Hive applications.
Hive allows all separate sites, regions and bureaus to operate as a single virtual system with every connected installation having simultaneous, continuous access to all content or to shared provisions in a datacentre.
Hive's sophisticated remote connection and content management optimises resource and bandwidth requirements by only transferring full resolution content exchanged on-demand when required.
As it is constantly updated in real time, Hive can ensure that content is ready at the earliest opportunity. Status information is instantly relayed so everyone has the up-to-the-second information they need in a high-pressure newsroom environment. A dedicated on air panel provides precise control for manual playout – and when automatic or unattended operation is required, tight integration with third-party systems permits content to be distributed, on time, every time.
The metadata built by Hive throughout the workflow provides a comprehensive foundation near-line archive and deep-archive cataloguing. Automatic migration of content from on-line, through near-line to deep archive can be automated, and enables a greater focus on creating rich and enhanced metadata for the long term benefit of all users. With on-line proxy and web-based proxy formats supported, cloud-based archive storage or distribution is already enabled. And as it also integrates shelf-based tape, disc-based robots and even large automated robotic archives, Media Backbone Hive gives you fast, efficient and accurate access to all available content – putting the world at your fingertips. With a single search, immediate access to proxy and automated retrieve functionality, the seamless integration enables faster workflow with a more creative final output.

Video: What You Need to Get HDTV
Making sure you have a high-def picture
Steve Kindig has been an electronics enthusiast for over 30 years. He has written extensively about home and car A/V gear for Crutchfield since 1985. Steve is also a volunteer DJ at community radio station WTJU, where he is a regular host of the American folk show "Atlantic Weekly," as well as the world music program "Radio Tropicale."
More from Steve Kindig
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
In this easy-to-follow video, we'll explain how to get a high-definition picture on your HDTV — from choosing the right gear, to making the right connections.
Video Transcript
Steve: Hi! I'm Steve, and in this video, I'll explain what you need to get a high-definition picture on your HDTV. This is important, because lots of people who get a new HDTV aren't watching a high-def picture — and some of them don't even realize it.
Let's start by figuring out what type of TV we're talking about. Most TVs sold today are what we call HDTVs. They combine a high-definition screen with a built-in high-definition tuner.
There are also a few TVs that can display a high-definition picture but don't come with a built-in high-definition tuner. These sets are called "HDTV-ready" or "HDTV monitors."
Now, let's look at the main ways to get HDTV programming.
I'll start with over-the-air broadcasts. Over-the-air high-definition broadcasts are free, and often look noticeably sharper than HD cable or satellite. They also let you watch your local stations in HD, which you can't always do with cable and satellite.
To receive over-the-air broadcasts, you're going to need an antenna. If your local stations are broadcasting from 20 miles away or closer, you may be able to use a small indoor model like this. For longer distances, you can mount a larger antenna on your roof or in your attic.
Then, you just connect the antenna to your HDTV, and you can watch whatever HDTV signals are available for free. If you only have an HDTV-ready set, you'll need to connect the antenna to a separate high-definition tuner.
If you want to find out which channels are available in your area, and what type of antenna is best for receiving them, check out antennaweb.org. You can also learn more about choosing and installing an antenna at crutchfield.com/HDTVantennas.
Next, let's look at cable TV. Along with some local channels, cable offers other HD channels that you can't get over the air, like HBO or ESPN. However, unlike over-the-air broadcasts, this is a service that you pay for.
If you plan on getting HD cable service, don't forget: although all high-definition cable is digital, not all digital cable is high-definition. Make sure you sign up for a programming package that includes true high-definition content.
You can start by calling your local cable company to find out which high-definition channels they offer.
Most of today's HDTVs come with a built-in digital cable tuner, which lets cable subscribers connect directly from the wall jack to their TV. However, to get premium channels like HBO, you'll probably need a cable box.
Satellite TV service is another way to get high-definition programming to your TV. Both DirecTV and Dish Network have a variety of HD channels, as well as plenty of standard-definition programming.
To get HD satellite TV, you'll need a subscription to an HD programming package as well as an HD-capable dish and an HD-compatible satellite receiver. If you're already a satellite subscriber and you're not sure whether your equipment is HD-capable, call your satellite provider. They can tell you what you need.
One last word on programming: there's no rule that says you have to rely on just one method of getting HD channels. Many people use a combination of these options to get all the channels they want.
Now, TV broadcasts aren't the only way to get a high-definition picture. High-definition disc players, like Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD, provide the best-quality high-definition picture available today. They're big with film buffs who want to see their favorite movies in high-definition. You can learn more about these players at crutchfield.com/highdefdiscs.
If you already have a large collection of standard DVDs, you can make them look better by adding an upconverting DVD player to your system. While the picture isn't true high-definition, it looks significantly better than a standard DVD picture.
Now, let's talk connections. Remember I said there are lots of people who think they're watching HDTV, but really aren't? Often that's because they have the right signals and the right TV, but they've made the wrong kind of connection.
You see, not every video cable can carry a high-definition video signal. For example, a composite video cable like this one can't handle HD.
Basically, there are only 3 types of connection that are capable of carrying high-def video: component video, DVI and HDMI. All 3 connections let you send a crisp, gorgeous high-definition picture to your TV.
On current components and TVs, you'll most likely find component video and HDMI jacks. In particular, more and more people are taking advantage of HDMI, because it uses a single cable.
I hope this info will help you take full advantage of all the great high-def options out there. If you're looking for more details, you can check out crutchfield.com/HDTV. You can also call us at 1-888-955-6000.

REVIEW SNAPSHOT®by PowerReviews
Best Uses
- Was this a gift?:
- No (3)
Reviewed by 5 customers
The quality of the fabric used in the liner seems substantial and I expect it to hold up well in all of our weather changes. I had looked at many different ones on the market and I found this to be the best quality for the size and the price. I had seen others that had an overlap feature on the edges to secure it to the raised bed. I would have liked that. This one tends to stick up more on the edges than I would like, but if it stays in place and does the job, I am happy.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Easy to use
- Not Quite 4x4
Best Uses
I rated this less than 5 stars only because it could be taller and does not really fit a 4x4, but does the trick. I just added more plastic to the sides to raise it to the size of my bed
- Was this a gift?:
- Yes
- GREAT Idea
- Not true to size
- Smaller than advertised
Best Uses
- Placed In A Raised Bed
I placed this in my raised garden bed but it was too short to reach the sides. I placed it in one corner than tweaked the other three sides with newspaper. I need a lining to try to keep groundhogs out of my garden. This did the trick with the tweaking. I would purchase it again but wish they made it true to size.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Had to send the product back after having built two raised planter boxes 4 feet by 8 feet and discovering the liners were significantly smaller than 4' (48") by 8' (96")! The actual size of the liner was 45 1/2" by 92 1/2". Very disappointed!!!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Good Quality
- Multiple sizes
Best Uses
- Insurance Against Weeds
Bought this liner for the above ground garden I got for my son's first garden in his new house. Two months later - no grass or weeds have sneaked through.
- Was this a gift?:
- Yes

My wife just shared with me a story in today's news. A first year Japanese junior high student jumped off the top of a building this morning, commiting suicide. His teacher had been hitting him and shaming him publicly in front of the class, accusing him of things he had not done. His mother had talked with the teacher, but to no avail.
Before jumping he called his mother 10 times on her cell phone, leaving tearful messages. She had seen the ringing, but wasn't able to answer the phone because she was very busy, at work.
My wife and I both broke down in tears after hearing about this.

I enjoyed the humor and interesting supplemental articles that were included
in the instruction. The course content was up-to-date and the examples were
realistic. I learned something new from each lesson.
Excellent class for beginning instructors. Covered all essential materials
for running one's classroom and then some. Excellent!
I am a long-time instructor, but it is refreshing to take a course and
perhaps learn some new tricks!!!
I really enjoyed this class. This course gave me great information from
classroom management to creating lessons.
I loved this course. I would recommend this course to someone who is
interested in teaching or someone who wants to brush up on the teaching
skills they have.
One of the better classes I have had.
I loved this course! It was very interesting. It easily met my needs to get
CEU credits. I will recommend the course to other teachers.
I have already recommended this course to a number of early childhood
This was an excellent refresher.
This course gave valuable ideas for teaching adult learners. I loved the section on how to beef up students' study skills and strategies for test-taking. I plan on incorporating and sharing many of the fun study techniques in my own class.

Designer: George Nelson
What would you call it? Classic? Icon? Slice of fruit? More than half a century after we manufactured the first one, the chair we call the Coconut is as wonderful to look at—and sit in—as ever.
If the idea of sitting in a coconut slice makes your back tense up, sit in this one. With its shallow sides and inviting curves, the chair is designed to let you sit in any position, move, and relax with surprising ease.
"I developed the chair to give lounge seating comfort, together with great freedom of movement."George Nelson View Design Story
Generously padded with a thick, one-piece foam rubber cushion upholstered in supple black leather. The third corner—the one that forms the backrest—is just slightly longer than the two on the sides. That's where the comfort comes from.
The upholstery is molded into the simple, striking plastic shell, which is lightweight but sturdy. It sits atop a clean, bent-steel, three-legged base with tough nylon glides. Durability. Built in.

Scott Redding ready to tackle the Dutch TT
9:33am Friday 27th June 2014
By SNJ Sport
9:33am Friday 27th June 2014
By SNJ Sport
SCOTT Redding heads to Assen for the Dutch TT, traditionally held on the last Saturday in June on the only track to have featured on the Grand Prix calendar every year since the motorcycle World Championship started back in 1949.
Redding was second in the Moto2 race at Assen last season, but the track will look very different from behind the screen of his Honda RCV1000R MotoGP machine this year.
Redding said: "I like the Assen TT Circuit, but I also like the Netherlands, as there is always a really good atmosphere there.
"The changeable weather always plays it's part at Assen, so we need to keep a close eye on it.
"Other than that, I'm looking forward to the weekend ahead. This circuit is quite narrow on a Moto2 bike and it will feel even narrower on the MotoGP bike, so it will take some getting used to.
"While the first sector will suit the characteristics of the RCV1000R, the second and third sectors, with the straights, will be difficult.
"We managed to find some more rear traction during the post race test in Barcelona and it will be interesting to see if this is an advantage here at Assen, where you need as much traction as possible through the long corners that are such a feature of this circuit."

It's easy to look at the final fiscal-cliff vote, which 150-odd Republicans opposed, and assume that only the moderates came around. In fact, the reason Boehner was able to bring it up for a vote at all—in violation of the Hastert Rule—was that the pragmatic conservatives were with him too. That's not just literally true, in that Boehner gave his troops the option of effectively killing the compromise, and he appeared to get few takers. It's also true more figuratively, in that Boehner apparently wasn't worried about pragmatic conservatives turning on him when he stood for re-election as Speaker two days later. "[I]n the end, most of our members wanted this to pass, but they didn't want to vote for it," he later told The Wall Street Journal. And the reason they wanted it to pass is that the public would have beat the party senseless for rejecting a deal, having largely accepted Obama's case that taxes should rise on the wealthy.
Even more encouraging, the cliff deal wasn't the only example of this dynamic recently. On Tuesday night, Boehner broke the Hastert Rule all over again, bringing up a $50 billion Hurricane Sandy relief bill that only 49 Republicans voted for. As before, pragmatic conservatives were almost certainly behind his decision to do this, even if they didn't end up supporting the bill. Also as before, it's almost certainly the case that their views on this were driven by anxieties over public opinion, which was shaped in this instance by high-profile Republicans like Chris Christie.
The lesson in all this for Obama is simple: Don't bother engaging Republican leaders behind closed doors. The only way to move the leadership is to move pragmatic conservatives. And the only way to move pragmatic conservatives is to arrange it so that the political consequences of siding with the pure conservatives are brutal.

Signed, dated and titled "Antonio Pollaiolo" by the Rev. Howard Finster (1916-2001). This folk art "cut out devotional" is numbered #5821 and is painted by Finster in tractor enamel on a thick solid core door.
The front of the piece features a Renaissance styled female in profile with Finster's hallmark angels cavorting in the woods along her dress and flying through heaven in her hair. On on the front is inscribed, "This average life is only 70 years, who wants to settle for that, when you can live forever in heaven. Antonio Pollaiolo, Born 1429 - Died 1498. 9:25 - Nov 10 - 1985. By Howard Finster from God visions of other worlds."
On the reverse is incribed, "5000 - 821 works since 1976 over 10 years work night and day for you all. By Howard Finster, Summerville, GA 30747 R-2 Box 106-A, Ph (404) 857-1926. God bless you all." After which it is signed and dated by Finster, and then is continues, "When you think of it, no one yet has ever stayed on this planet that means you are going to what are you waiting on. Get right with God and live happy now, healthy people get killed everyday the only thing you can really count on is God."
Dimensions: 19.5"(H) x 8.5"(W) x 1.5"(T). Provenance: The Salvatore Scalora collection.
The underlying figure and painter chosen by Finster here is fascinating. Antonio del Pollaiolo (or Pollaiuolo) was an Italian painter, sculptor, engraver and goldsmith during the Renaissance era, who is known (or somewhat infamous) for his renderings of the brutal torture and deaths of Catholic saints. He is also regarded for his rendering of the human body in motion, which is the antithesis of Finster's flat self-taught style. The error on Finster's part, however, is that the figure chosen for this piece was actually painted by Antonio's brother, Piero del Pollaiolo (c. 1443 – 1496), also known as Piero Benci. The work in question is entitled "Portrait of a Girl" and is currently exhibited at the Museo Poldi Pezzoli, Milan (see last picture).
Salvatore Scalora is an Associate Professor of Art and the Director of the William Benton Museum of Art at the University of Connecticut. His folk art collection, particularly his holdings of Mexican and Caribbean folk art, is well known.

Deadly HorizonRiddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I hover out there in darkness unseen.
I will shred things to pieces 'till they're just smithereens.
I might serve as a gateway to places unspoken,
Yet I'm sealed off to man, forever unbroken.
I twist and distort, only darkness escapes,
I destroy all I find
Whatever I take.
HintI'm a wonderful thing, a mysterious lure.
But if you reach my horizon you're a goner for sure.
AnswerA black hole.
Scientists theorize that black holes and wormholes might lead to other dimensions or different parts of the universe and so on. Thus a "gateway to places unspoken."
Man cannot (as yet) enter a black hole. The end is self-explanatory.
As for the hint, black holes have an event horizon, and if something is to pass it, there is no way of escaping. (At least none that we know of.)

If you look at it a certain way, it's all Jim Boeheim's fault.
If his Syracuse Orangemen hadn't, in their final regular-season game against Georgetown, gotten their heads kicked in, he wouldn't have expressed a certain amount of dissatisfaction with their performance and a preference for doing anything other than coaching them at the moment. Such as playing golf.
Really, he said that.
Following a 61-39 loss to the Hoyas in early March, Boeheim told reporters, ""Well, you know, I'm pretty much ready to go play golf somewhere."
So it was obvious that meant he was planning to retire. Really, what else could it mean? Everybody who plays golf is retired. We know this, right? Except, obviously, for people such as Tiger Woods, for whom playing golf is their job.
OK, so that's not really true. Lots of working people play golf for leisure. And Boeheim is one of them. He is very much employed today, has been for nearly five decades and will continue to be into the future. Someone who wanted to know what Boeheim's plans are could have asked the people who know him best and been assured of his intent to continue as Syracuse coach. But what fun would that be?
So following another extremely difficult Syracuse loss, this one to Michigan just a game short of playing for the 2013 NCAA championship, the first question he faced involved whether he would retire. Yep, first question. Gregg Doyel of CBSSports.com acknowledged in a column Sunday he felt badly about that being the first question. But as he posed it, it also turned out to be the second, third, fourth and fifth questions.
From the official transcript:
Q. When do you think you'll decide, announce, whether or not you're coming back next year?
COACH BOEHEIM: Why would you ask that question? I expect it from you. I know you. Why ask that question? Are you going to ask John Beilein that question?
Q. We ask 19 year old questions and they handle it better than you are.
COACH BOEHEIM: You ask 19 year old kid if he's going to retire? Really?
Q. If they're going to be back next year?
COACH BOEHEIM: If you're going to say something smart, at least be smart.
Q. I said be back next year, I didn't say retire. If you're going to be smart, at least get it right.
COACH BOEHEIM: I am right.
Q. Are you going to be back next year or not?
COACH BOEHEIM: I'm not going to answer that question unless you ask every coach that question. Are you going to ask John if he's going to retire or not coming back next year? I've never indicated at any time that I'm not coming back next year ever.
You can watch how it all played out here.
Boeheim is 68 years old and will turn 69 before next season really gets going. There has been a belief he is not eager to see Syracuse move to the Atlantic Coast Conference, and that was true to a point. Whatever he said publicly in the aftermath of SU's decision to dump the Big East for the ACC, he was displeased with the move (as were a great number of the program's most ardent supporters). With the way in which the Big East has disintegrated, though, those feelings no longer are as powerful.
Eventually Doyel got back around to asking another question that phrased the "retirement" question in this light.
"I love the Big East, but if the Big East was the same as it was, or even remotely the same, I would quit because I wouldn't be happy," Boeheim said. "The Big East is not there at all. In fact, there's more Big East teams in the ACC than there are Big East teams in whatever the conference is, American whatever.
"As far as I know, I'm 100 percent coaching next year. You know, that's really kind of where I'm at right now."

Are we really looking forward to an entire summer of stars in high-waisted pants? First Jessica Simpson stepped out in her ribcage-hugging pants, and now the ever eccentricly dressed Mischa Barton has taken to the streets of London, channeling the '70s in seriously high-waisted jeans over a Fleetwood Mac t-shirt. Sadly, this isn't the most flattering trend we've seen in a while — and here we were so excited for our wide-leg denim to be in style! Tell us: What do you think of Mischa's high-waisted jeans? Would you wear them?

Organisers of the hugely popular Haworth 1940s Weekend have rubbished national reports villagers were upset by some visitors wearing Nazi uniforms during the event.
Despite national press coverage, only a handful of people attended the two-day celebration dressed in Second World War German military uniforms.
At least six people in the uniforms were present in the village on Saturday, and a small group of them set up a re-enactment display in Haworth Central Park.
In the run-up to the weekend, organisers had asked people attending not to wea Nazi insignia or Nazi uniforms. And many businesses displayed notices stating they would not admit anyone wearing such clothing.
But while some people chose to ignore the request, one of the 1940s committee members, Main Street trader Nikki Carroll, said they were a small minority out of the thousands of people who had flocked to the village, and that their presence didn't create any unrest.
She added: "This is a community event, which has been taken on by the Soldiers, Sailors & Airmen's Families Association (SSAFA) and really I'm not interested in those few people who come dressed up in this type of uniform.
"It's entirely up to them, but we did our best to make them feel unwelcome."
SSAFA branch chairman for West Yorkshire, Terry Grayshon, said the issue posed a dilemma, as there is no law to stop people wearing Second World War German uniforms.
He added: "We have suggested to people it isn't appropriate to come dressed like that.
"But we do live in a free society and a free country, and that is thanks to our men and women who have served in the armed forces.
"There is no legislation to prevent people wearing these clothes. I do think their numbers get fewer each year, as more people understand that it's not appropriate to do this."

Riverside County supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to strongly urge city police and fire departments to hook up to the county's new state-of-the-art public safety radio communication system and share in its costs.
The system is expected to go live in the second half of this year.
Supervisor John Tavaglione said the county ought to "insist, not ask, that these agencies come on board with us."
Tavaglione said participation by all public safety agencies within Riverside County is crucial to the program's success. He said one of the primary goals is to substantially improve coordination among agencies to boost protection for the public, as well as reduce the danger law enforcement officers, firefighters and paramedics face.
"I don't want to see another officer lost and another child grow up without the benefit of their father or mother being around," he said.
Sheriff's Department officials have said the radio system will boost radio coverage through the 7,300-square-mile county from about 65 percent to 95 percent, meaning almost everywhere an officer would be able to talk on a hand-held or car radio and know someone is hearing at the other end.
The county is boosting communication reliability by replacing a 21-tower system installed in 1991. The newer system will be anchored by 77 towers and modern equipment to eliminate dead spots in a county that varies in elevation from below sea level at the Salton Sea to nearly 11,000 feet above the ocean atop Mount San Jacinto.
The $172.8 million system's debut has been delayed several times. It was supposed to roll out this month, but software problems put off its arrival yet again. Now county officials say the earliest it will arrive is middle to late summer.
Besides getting the software right, Tavaglione said the system's success is contingent on widespread participation. He said Riverside County and city-operated agencies need to follow the example of Orange County's unified communication system.
"They communicate with one another in a split second," Tavaglione said.
Tavaglione said the recent Christopher Dorner shootings and subsequent manhunt underscored the need for better communication among multiple agencies.
In a written report to the board, Tavaglione wrote: "While we do not know every detail of the ongoing operational costs, we are gathering data and will analyze all expenditures as the system becomes operable. ... Regardless of the cost, however, there is no price that can be greater than saving of a life of one of our first responders."
During board discussion, Supervisor John Benoit volunteered to speak to city councils to urge their participation, hinting the county may offer a break on cost.
"We are required to recoup costs," Benoit said. "But I think you can define costs multiple ways."
He said the county should offer them "a deal they can't refuse."

About Our Department
The Tax Claim Bureau is responsible for collecting delinquent Real Estate taxes. To do this, and to remain compliant with the PA Real Estate Tax Law, we send notices to those taxpayers who have not paid their taxes, set up payment plans for qualified individuals, accept and apply payments, and disburse monies collected to the respective taxing district on a monthly basis. We collect delinquent Real Estate taxes for 74 Berks County municipalities and 15 Berks County School Districts.
Goals & Objectives
The Bureau is continuously improving their efforts to provide more effective services to the taxpayers and to the taxing districts. Our ultimate goal is to collect Real Estate taxes and turn the monies collected over to the respective taxing authority. Our tax sales are growing in popularity, but the Bureau would prefer to collect the taxes instead of selling it for non-payment of the taxes. By cooperating with taxpayers and offering various payment options, additional tax monies can be collected in a more timely manner and fewer properties will be exposed/sold at tax sale, resulting in decreased work load for the Bureau, and simplified bookkeeping and timely disbursements for taxing districts.

Topic: Charlie is home after surgery
Chapel Hill, NC was home for a week, but so good to be back in Winston-Salem. Charlie is doing amazingly well. Dr. Calvo took out about 60% of Charlie's liver and was very positive about the outcome. We will be learning soon how to handle the 2 small tumors left in his remaining lobe. He is sitting here on the couch watching Mon. night football. I can't believe how well he's doing. Thank you ALL so much for your encouragement and prayers. It's going to take me a while to catch up on all the new posts since I was on a week ago, but I will! Love and blessings to all.
With MUCH Gratitude,

Moderator: Mahavihara moderator
Almost all suttas in the Pali Canon open with the words Evam me sutam ("Thus [was] heard by me"), usually rendered "Thus have I heard". These words are invariably followed by Ekam samayam ("at one time" or "on one occasion"), after which comes either Bhagava ("the Lord") or the name of a leading disciple, and a statement of where he stayed or what he did. In fact these words "Thus have I heard" are so well known as an introduction to Pali suttas that Wisdom Publications gave this title to my translation of the Digha Nikaya which they brought out in 1987.
Now, in the new translation of the Udana by Peter Masefield, we find for each sutta the curious opening locution "So was there heard by me on one occasion when the Lord (was staying, etc.)".
One of these, which is not perhaps quite decisive, is that in the Itivuttaka the solitary Pali sutta text which does not have this formula, is replaced by a more elaborate formulation. Here, each small sutta opens with the words Vuttam hetam bhagavata vuttam-arahata ti me sutam, which Woodward renders: "This was said by the Exalted One, said by the Arahant; so have I heard". This formula is followed by the direct words of the Buddha with no mention of "on one occasion".
Dukkhanirodha wrote:well thank you,
but still the question remains...
Dukkhanirodha wrote:Can anyone help explaining why these words are found at the beginning of some suttas and not others?
Bankei wrote:Does any one know, are there any later works, ie non-canonical, that begin with these words, evam me suttam....?
According to the commentarial tradition, the suttas or discourses of the Itivuttaka were collected by the woman lay-disciple Khujjuttara from sermons given by the Buddha while he was staying at Kosambi. Khujjuttara was a servant of Samavati, the consort of King Udena. She had become a stream-enterer after meeting the Buddha and subsequently converted the women of the palace headed by Samavati to the teaching. She used to go regularly to listen to the Buddha and then later repeated what she had heard to the other women. The collection of these sayings became the Itivuttaka. It is said that the emphatic statements at the beginning and end of each of the suttas, reproduced here only in the first and last, were made by Khujjuttara to stress that they were the Buddha's words and not her own.
Whether or not this story is true, the Itivuttaka is the only book in the Pali Canon that introduces and concludes its suttas in this fashion, and it is from the opening statement that the title is derived: "This was said (vuttam) by the Lord ... so (iti) I heard" -- hence Itivuttaka, "The So-was-said" or "Sayings."

Gay Fort Worth City Councilman Joel Burns has been nominated for The Dallas Morning News' Texan of the Year based on his inspiring "It Gets Better" speech, according to DMN editorial writer Rodger Jones.
Burns has already been interviewed by national media and by Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show in the wake of his 12-minute speech at a council meeting last month in which he talked about being bullied as a teenager and the time he considered taking his own life. Video of the speech quickly went viral and Burns became one of the most visible faces of the "It Gets Better" campaign.
Some of the other nominees are Southwest Airlines President Gary Kelly, philanthropist Elizabeth Shatto Massey, Texas Rangers President Nolan Ryan and, a separate nominee, the "entire Texas Rangers baseball team."
Well, win or lose, I love me some Texas Rangers. But when it comes to Texan of the Year, Joel gets my vote.

The Slightest Whisper Moves This Market
The most interesting thing about the action today is that no one really said anything new. We simply had some repetition about how important it is to make a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff and some vague comments about willingness to be flexible.
It may not be substantive, but that was all that was needed to light a fire under the market. Clearly, market players are optimistic that a deal will get done, and they are nervous about missing out on the inevitable rally that will occur when it happens. Thus they jump in at even a hint of progress, although it really is nothing but a negotiating ploy by both sides....123 more words left in this article.

Topic: Unrestctable cholangiocarcinoma tumors can be easily destroyed with Y-
I have posted on this topic before but there are new studies verifying that even though the surgeons can't remove the tumor because of its size or loication, a brachytherapy treatment where micropsheres are injected into the tumor blood supply accomplishes the same thing in a simple 2 hour outpatient procedure. My wife had it done and I can verify the results. Unfortunately the cholangiocarcinoma had spread outside of her liver into the peritoneum before we utilized this procedure. Here is a recent paper on the treatment. Not only can you now partially or completely destroy the tumor with few side effects so quality of life is better. Here is an excerpt from the article published in 2008:

Predicting more cyber security needed in 2013
Part three of a series of technology predictions.
It will come as no surprise to anyone interested in technology that security vendors predict more cyber threats, more highly-targeted (read personal) attack techniques and a rise in cyber espionage and hacktivism next year and beyond.
Scepticism aside, their predictions have a base in the data and analysis they, and other security researchers, see every day.
Here is a brief summary of what some of them believe will happen in the year ahead.
Cyber security
The potential for a rogue nation state, hacktivists, or even terrorists to move beyond intrusion and espionage to disrupt and perhaps destroy critical infrastructure is increasing, says Art Coviello, executive chairman of RSA, the security division of EMC. Examples of this include recent attacks on Israeli websites, attacks on Gulf oil production infrastructure and Iranian nuclear facilities. Australia is not immune.
Expect more cyber threats in the corporate domain too, says David Owen head of strategic programs in Australia for BAE Systems Detica, a global security company.
"Cyber attacks are low cost for the attacker and there is a high success rate in obtaining sensitive information or resources. Particularly with the trend of moving data into the cloud, it will be even more important to look at ways to protect your assets."
Supply chain attacks
There will be an increase in supply chain attacks, where organisations that have a very mature security model are instead targeted through someone else who interacts with that organisation, says Shaun McLagan, RSA's general manager for Australia and New Zealand.
Ransomware (data files encrypted by criminals and a ransom demanded for them to be unlocked) will start to impact Australia, says Mike Sentonas, McAfee's chief technology officer in the Asia Pacific. "Ransomware that was previously successful in some parts of Europe is now becoming a global problem and we're starting to see this impact locally. The recent fake Australian Federal Police ransomware attack is an example of this type of attack, and while they are successful they will continue."
Non-Windows attacks
Non-Windows attacks will continue to increase in 2013, predicts Sentonas. "Android devices are now the highest selling mobile devices in the Asia Pacific market and hackers will take advantage of that by developing mobile malware."
BYOD is highly vulnerable to attacks, says BAE Systems Detica's David Owen, Australian head of strategic programs. "In a country of 20 million people, we now have 30 million mobile services. This has increased by 50 per cent in five years. However, end users are unable to defend themselves and therefore end-user devices are cannon-fodder: they are very easily compromised and for many users, and probably already are."
Through 2014, employee owned devices will be compromised by malware at more than double the rate of corporate owned devices, predicts Gartner. "Endpoint security will become even more important as the number and types of devices accessing enterprise resources explode."
"The mobile malware growth rate is similar to that of Windows malware some time ago, which shows it is a genuine threat," says Sentonas.
Signed malware
The signed malware trend is likely to continue in Australia over the coming 12 months, says Owen.
Signed malware is present when a hacker obtains a digital certificate from an organisation and appends it to malware, allowing the malware to pass through an organisation's operating system, says Sentonas.
"This type of threat will be harder to stop because it appears more legitimate."
DNSChanger attacks
With the increase in online shopping, security software company Kaspersky Labs predicts more DNSChanger attacks, where malicious software changes domain name settings and tricks consumers into thinking they're on a legitimate website, when in fact they've been redirected to a fake website that allows hackers to steal personal information and credit card details.
Managing security risks
Big Data and analytics will play a strong role in the management of security challenges, predicts McLagan, with the use of analytics to assess what the risk position is within an organisation.
Skills crisis
There will be a severe skills shortage in the information security industry, says Owen. "There is a need for investment in people rather than technology. Technology can help stop technological threats, but humans are required to stop human threats."
