LUXOR, Egypt, April 5 (UPI) -- Thousands of protesters took to the streets in Luxor, Egypt, Friday to voice support for the grand imam of Al-Azhar University.
The protesters claim the Muslim Brotherhood wants to push Al-Azhar Grand Imam Ahmed el-Tayeb out so it can control the school, a leading center of Islamic learning, Ahram Online reported.
Al-Masry al-Youm reported the crowds in Luxor swelled near 10,000 people after Friday prayers and hundreds of others rallied in Cairo as well.
Protesters hoisted signs warning "Al-Azhar is a red line" and chanted against the Muslim Brotherhood, shouting "Blood and soul, we sacrifice for you, Tayeb," and "Oh Imam, we are with you against the Brothers," al-Masry al-Youm reported.
Calls for the grand imam's removal came after an outbreak of food poisoning at the university Monday sickened more than 500 students. The university's president has been fired and the head of the dormitory where the food poisoning occurred was taken into custody.
The Press Trust of India reported Egypt's Grand Mufti Shawky Ibrahim Abdel-Karim Allam warned Thursday against those who would try to pull Al-Azhar University into the country's political fray
"We call on all Egyptians to refrain from dragging Al-Azhar into political matters and grievances because this is the only way in which the moderate version of Islam and our institution's independence will persist," Allam said.
He said such behavior, including attempts to oust el-Tayeb, "undermines Egypt's security."
After the food sickness outbreak, officials summoned the head of the university's dorms, Mohamed Reda, as well as Al-Azhar University President Osama al-Abd, for questioning, al-Masry al-Youm said.
Prosecutors also were investigating three other university officials in the incident.
The university's top leadership caved to students demands and dismissed Abd Wednesday. The Al-Azhar Supreme Council has called for immediate elections to choose a new president, al-Masry al-Youm reported.
The council has already appointed a new director general of the dormitories, as a well as a new food and beverage manager and a new head of the dorms.

As the federal government's shutdown entered its 11th day on Friday, hopes of a resolution to that and the nearing deadline to raise the nation's debt limit spiked amid talks between Republicans and President Barack Obama.
A meeting between the House GOP and the president on Thursday yielded no agreement, but seemed to break a legislative logjam that had plagued the nation's capital for the past few weeks.
Senate Republicans head to the White House to talk with Obama this morning, a meeting which could further facilitate an end to a shutdown that has placed hundreds of thousands of federal workers onto unpaid furlough, and put services for millions more Americans on hold.
According to the latest NBC/WSJ poll, the shutdown has been a political disaster. One in three say the shutdown has directly impacted their lives, and 65 percent say the shutdown is doing quite a bit of harm to the economy. NBC's Chuck Todd reports.
GOP negotiators worked with Obama administration aides through the night to cobble together a short-term agreement to both extend the nation's borrowing authority and reinstate funding for vital government operations. If both of those conditions are met, Obama has said he would then -- and only then -- be willing to engage in broader fiscal negotiations with Republicans.
The stakes from the talks are high on several fronts. Financial markets have nervously watched Washington for signs of an agreement that would avoid default on the national debt by Oct. 17, the deadline by which Congress must extend the government's borrowing authority.
The fiscal standoff also had broad political implications, as well. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Thursday found that unfavorable opinion of the Republican Party had reached all-time highs, and that 70 percent of Americans disapproved of the way in which Republicans in Congress were handling the budget standoff.
The pressure from Wall Street, combined with sharply changing public opinion against the GOP, has helped prompt Republican leaders' recent work toward reaching an ad
Republican leaders appeared cautiously optimistic late Thursday, saying that a 90 minute meeting with the president was fruitful, even though both sides did not come to an agreement about a temporary hike in the debt ceiling.
"I left thinking I believe it is possible for us to get it all done," House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions, R-Texas, said, adding that the overnight negotiations would be "critical to the success" of a deal.
"The president didn't say yes, he didn't say no," House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan told NBC News of the House proposal to raise the debt ceiling for six weeks. "It was a useful conversations. We're now going to negotiate."
Rep. Lynn Jenkins of Kansas, the vice chairman of the House GOP Conference, told CNBC that House leaders hope to have the government reopened by Monday.
The impact of the first government shutdown in 17 years was felt across America as offices were shuttered and workers were sent home after lawmakers failed to come to a deal./
If negotiators from the White House and the House Republican leadership team reach an agreement, Boehner may need Democratic votes to pass it and send it on to the Senate.
On Thursday, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said that she was reluctant to accept the six-week raise in the debt ceiling, arguing that markets may be spooked by the brief timeline for further negotiations.
"I think a six-week lifting of the debt ceiling is not the right way to go," Pelosi said after House Democrats met with President Barack Obama. "I think we should go at least one year so that there's some certainty in the markets and that every six weeks people don't have to wonder if the United States of America is going to stand by its full faith and credit."
But, she added, Democrats would wait to see a full package of ideas from House Republicans on how to address the ongoing fiscal fight.
"Let's see what it is," she said of a GOP proposal. "Give it a chance if it has any value."

" Belgravia(SW1), Chelsea(SW3,SW7,SW10), Earl's Court(SW5), Fulham(SW6,SW10), Parson's Green(SW6), Knightsbridge(SW3), Pimlico(SW1), S.Kensington(SW3), St.James's(SW1), Victoria(SW1), Westminster/Whitehall(SW1). "
For the past three and a half years, I've worked in a funny little area in central South West London called Vauxhall. It's a ten minute walk from Victoria, and five minutes from Soho on the tube, but it's nothing like the rest of Central London - there are no real shops, for a start, and decent pubs/restaurants are few and far between. I've already written an op on the best place to eat should you find yourself in this particular area - a fantastic Indian restaurant called 'Hot Stuff' just off the Wandsworth Road - but where should you go if you find yourself in need of a cold beer and some decent pub grub? It has to be The Wheatsheaf. **** GENERAL INFO The Wheatsheaf is the only decent pub in Vauxhall. Located along South Lambeth Road, about five minutes from the tube station (turn right out of the main exit and keep walking, you can't miss it) it's a fairly large, traditional style pub with two bars, the smaller of which contains a pool table, and a recently refurbished beer garden which is a nice little sun trap - not that we've had much sun so far this year! **** DRINKS The Wheatsheaf serves a good selection of cold beers and lagers, and some decent wines, including Jacob's Creek Chardonnay (my fave!) and some really nice reds. The prices are pretty average for this kind of pub in London - about £2.50 for a pint or a glass of wine, and £2.10 for a spirit and mixer. They also serve good quality filter coffee and tea. **** EATS The food they serve at the Wheatsheaf is basically no nonsense, good quality pub grub. The standard menu offers things like ham, egg and chips, steak with chips, mushrooms and peas and a few different kinds of omelette. In addition to this, there is always a selection of 'specials' which usually includes a soup of some kind, a pie and some type of meat in sauce with rice. My personal favourites include : Spicy meatballs with rice £3.50 Spicy Chicken and potato soup £2.50 Minced lamb and Rosemary pie £2.60 Continental platter £3.50 Seafood Chowder £2.60 Liver and bacon with mashed potatoes £3.50 The food is always piping hot, obviously home made and delicious. I don't know how they manage to create such great food in the tiny kitchen they have at the back of the pub, but I'm very glad they do! **** ATMOSPHERE The pub gets very crowded around lunchtime on a weekday, so it's best to get there early if you're planning to eat. The atmosphere is lively but relaxed. They often have sport on the telly in the main bar. The tables are far enough away from each other that you don't feel cramped, and the staff are all very friendly and chatty. My one complaint would be that the main bar is quite dingy. It's lit by old fashioned chandelier style light fittings, and the management could do with fitting a few more of them or replacing them with some modern, brighter light fittings. Now that there's a beer garden, my colleagues and I usually sit outside in the fresh air. **** OTHER PUBS Here's how the Wheatsheaf compares with some of the other pubs/bars in the area : The Wyvil (Wyvil Road) - a light and airy bar, okay for a quick drink but the food isn't all that. Drinks are pricey, and you may have to stand. The Beehive (Harleyford Rd) Dingy and smells of stale beer. Crap food. Cheap but nasty. The Nott (Wandsworth Road) This is a nice little pub but it's a bit of a walk from the centre of Vauxhall and for some reason, it's nearly always empty. Not sure why, the foods good and they have a good selection of drinks, though
they're a bit pricey. The Lavender - A trendy restaurant/bar across from Vauxhall park. Lovely but both food and drink are VERY expensive. It's impossible to get a seat unless you've reserved a table. **** CONCLUSION If you find yourself in the area, with a hankering for some decent English pub grub and a couple of bevvies, the Wheatsheaf is your best bet. it isn't fancy, but it's a pleasant place to relax and enjoy an inexpensive lunch. I pay it a visit at least two or three times a week, and I heartily recommend it.
Underneath Southside halls of Imperial College is the Southside bar. Staffed and occupied mostly by students, it is not a student-only bar, but the only non-students tend to be builders from one of the many Imperial College projects (all currently ongoing, overbudget and not on schedule). General prices are £2 a bottle of alchopop, under £2 for a pint, and around £4 for a double spirit and mixer. Wine is available, but it is the Imperial College wine, not recommened at all <g> There are a couple of pool tables and a darts area, quiz nights on Sunday and it is usually full most nights. And you can bring cheap pizzas in from Basics - or take your pints up into the restaurant. It is very relaxed and has a good atmosphere. The only disadvantage is that after experiencing 'student' prices, you'll find that normal London prices will begin to make your hair stand on end! Just ten minutes from South Kensington tube station. Nearest Bus: 14, 74 or 345.

The Praxis Program is part of the Civic Engagement Office and is located in Dolwen on Cambrian Row. Praxis is an experiential, community-based learning program that integrates theory and practice through student engagement in active, relevant fieldwork, enhances student learning and builds citizenship skills. The program provides consistent, equitable guidelines along with curricular coherence and support to students and faculty who wish to combine coursework with fieldwork and community-based research. The three designated types of Praxis courses—departmental courses, interdepartmental seminars and independent studies—are described on below and at http://www.brynmawr.edu/praxis.
Praxis courses on all levels are distinguished by genuine collaboration with fieldsite organizations. A dynamic process of reflection incorporates lessons learned in the field into the classroom setting and applies theoretical understanding gained through classroom study to work done in the broader community. The nature of fieldwork assignments and projects varies according to the learning objectives for the course and according to the needs of the organization.
The role of the Praxis Office is to assist faculty in identifying, establishing and supporting field placements and to develop ongoing partnerships with community organizations, such as social service agencies, schools, government offices and museums. Field supervisors orient the student to the fieldsite, identify placement objectives and oversee the work of the student at the site. Field supervisors frequently visit the classroom as guest presenters and co-teachers. Faculty members retain ultimate responsibility and control over the components of the Praxis Program that make it distinctly academic: course reading and discussion, rigorous process and reflection, and formal presentation and evaluation of student progress.
There are three levels of Praxis courses (see below), which require increasing amounts of fieldwork but do not need to be taken successively: departmental courses (Praxis I), interdepartmental seminars (Praxis II) and independent study (Praxis III). Praxis courses may be offered in any department and students may enroll in more than one Praxis course at a time. Students enrolled in more than one Praxis course are sometimes able to use the same field placement to meet the requirements of both courses. Praxis-style courses taken at other institutions are subject to prior approval by the Praxis Office and faculty supervisor.
Praxis I Departmental Course uses fieldwork as a form of experiential learning to enrich the study and understanding of a single disciplinary topic. Fieldwork typically constitutes 25 percent of total coursework assigned. Students typically complete one, two- to three-hour fieldsite visit a week. Students are eligible for Praxis I courses according to departmental guidelines.
Praxis II Interdepartmental Seminar is a multidisciplinary course combining more substantial fieldwork with an academic focus on a central topic (e.g., geographic location, historical period, social issue, etc.) studied from several disciplinary perspectives. Fieldwork typically constitutes 50 percent of total coursework assigned. Students typically complete two, two- to three-hour fieldsite visits a week. Praxis II courses are available to sophomore and higher-level students who are in good academic standing.
Praxis III Independent Study places fieldwork at the center of a supervised learning experience. Fieldwork is supported by appropriate readings and regular meetings with a faculty member who must agree in advance to supervise the project. Faculty are not obligated to supervise Praxis III courses and may decline to do so. Departments may limit the number of Praxis III courses that a faculty member may supervise.
Students who plan to undertake Praxis III Independent Study should submit a completed Praxis III proposal to their dean for her/his signature at pre-registration and then return the form to the Praxis Office to be reviewed by the Praxis Program Director. The Praxis III learning plan—which must include a description of the student's course, all stipulated coursework, a faculty supervisor, a fieldsite, a fieldsite supervisor and fieldwork responsibilities—must be approved by the Praxis Program Director by the beginning of the semester in which the course will take place. The Praxis Program Director will notify the Registrar's Office when the Praxis III learning plan is approved, at which point a course registration number will be created for the course. Students are encouraged to visit the Praxis Office to discuss possible field placements, although they are not discouraged from developing their own fieldsites.
Praxis III fieldwork typically constitutes 75 percent of total coursework assigned, with students typically completing two, four- to five-hour fieldsite visits per week. Praxis III courses are available to sophomore and higher-level students who are in good academic standing. No student may take more than two Praxis III courses during her time at Bryn Mawr.

You will find strawberry in the ingredients list of many skin creams. Strawberry is used for many skin treatments due to its great qualities. A strawberry is good for the face because it is rich in antioxidants. These antioxidants release all the toxins from our skin and remove the harmful free radicals. Instead of going to the salons for expensive skin treatments, use these natural skin care ways to enhance your beauty. Here are some face masks using strawberries that you can use to have a smooth, radiant and flawless skin.
Strawberry and Honey- Get the blush of strawberries on your cheek with this natural face mask. Take 2-3 tablespoon of mashed strawberries and mix them with 1 tablespoon of honey. Apply it on your face and then wash off after 20 minutes. Do this once or twice a week for a glowing skin.
Strawberry and Lemon- This is yet another of the best natural skin care methods. A combination of lemon and strawberries is very good for the face. Take half a cup of mashed strawberries and then squeeze a lemon into it. Apply the strawberry mix on your face and leave it for 10 minutes. Wash off and find a clear skin.
Strawberry and Yoghurt- Take 3-4 tablespoon of mashed strawberries and mix 1-2tbsp of yoghurt in it. Apply it all over the face and wash off after 15 minutes. Gently massage the skin after washing off. Strawberry will make your face look younger by tightening all the skin cells.
Strawberry- Strawberry is great for face if applied all by itself. Take half a cup of mashed strawberries and apply it on the face. Leave it for minimum 15-20 minutes. Wash off gently with cold water. This strawberry face pack will help get rid of all the blemishes and make the skin glow.
Strawberry and Cornflour- This natural face mask is great for exfoliating the skin. Add 1 tablespoon of cornflour in half a cup of mashed strawberries. Apply in onto the skin and leave for 10 minutes. Wash off the natural face mask with cold water gently by massaging in clockwise and anti-clockwise directions. It will remove all the blackheads on your face and at the same time the natural ingredients in the strawberry will add a blush on your face.
These are all some natural skin care methods by which you can make yourself look a way more beautiful.

" Genre: R&B & Soul - Pop R&B / Artist: Ry Cooder / Audio CD released 1995-05-15 at Warner "
* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
RY COODER - Vocals, guitar, mandolin, bass
VAN DYKE PARKS - Piano
This album by Ry Cooder (simply named "Ry Cooder") was released in 1970, and is a small collection of old blues songs, mainly from the 1920s and 1930s. It doesn't appear to have reached the top 40 album charts in the UK at any time though.
Through his music, you can tell that Ry feels a deep connection with rural blues, and it's rare that a white man can so accurately convey what early 20th century black blues was all about - it's my opinion that there's only one other white guitarist who does it as equally well as Ry Cooder, and that's David Lindley (the two of them have collaborated in the past, and their music is sheer magic).
I've loved deep south blues ever since I was a tiny child - I was brought up in a musical household, given a deep sense of this kind of music probably before I could talk and walk...largely by my father, as he was the musician in the house. When I began buying my own music, I hunted high and low for years and years, but was unable to find the kind of blues I was looking for.....sadly my dad had died so I couldn't ask him for some tips and hints. One day not long after the death of my dad, somebody asked me if I'd ever heard of Ry Cooder; I'd only heard of him in connection with his occasional guitar playing on a Rolling Stones albums, and I borrowed this friend's LP record. I was gobsmacked and played it to death - it was that which prompted me to begin hunting for information on blues in more depth. As a result and to cut a very long story short, I found a wealth of what I was looking for - plus, became a huge fan of Ry Cooder into the bargain.
Regarding the origins of this collection of cover versions by Ry Cooder, I haven't been able to find out as much information as I wanted, because of all the unrelated junk results (despite using the advanced searching facility) - or, I get lots of Ry Cooder related websites, but they don't contain the information I'm looking for. The CD sleeve is very sparse, so in this review I have merely given the information that I know to be true - and I apologise for anything lacking.
Here's my little assessment on the very first Ry Cooder album that I ever listened to.
This is a medium-tempo, old blues song which speaks of the woes of having to pay alimony on several children...not all of which "he" believes are his. The song is mostly about a man standing in court, pleading with the judge to have mercy on him and cut down on the alimony payments he has to make, as it is financially destroying him. Like a lot of old blues songs, this is about poverty, basically. Ry's guitar is deliciously bluesy - part plucking and part slide, and the whole track is backed by piano, drums and gospel-like female vocalists.
....... 10/10
Wow you can almost smell the cottonfields on this one. Ry gives us his deepest, gruffest voice here with 12-bar strumming and slide blues guitar accompaniment. This is a "bangy" sort of song that you can imagine being belted out at the Mardi Gras or something. There's a lovely middle-eight of pure, very skilful guitar - finger picking blues. I'm not sure what the words are about, as they aren't printed on the sleeve and I can't understand most of them, but musically this is a first class piece of authentic-sounding traditional blues.
....... 10/10
Ahhh 98% of albums for me have one bummer track, and here it is....I just don't like the song! The tune of this just plods along with quite an intensive backing of violins and other instruments that I can't identify. The subject matter of the song is a very hungry, poor man stares into the window of a restaurant, watching everybody else eating. He walks in and asks how much he could get for the little money he has, and is told he can only have one meatball, with no bread. The song is largely an expression of the indignity the poor man has to suffer simply through being down on his luck, and contrasting his misfortune up against the amusement that the wealthier diners feel as they watch him just order one meatball, as that is all he can afford. For me, though the backing does contain some rather nice typically Cooder style blues guitar, the over-instrumentalisation detracts too much from the raw essence of the point of the song.
....... 3/10
This song was written and originally performed by Woody Guthrie. Ry Cooder's stunning guitar is backed by a small brass section (reminiscent of a Mardis Gras mood), drums, and laid-back strings here and there. I personally think it would be better without the violins, but that's just my preference. Sadly I can't understand most of the words so am unable to pinpoint what the song is about, but with Ry Cooder's music, I largely am attracted to the sound of it, rather than the subject matter of the songs. One bit I can pick out is somebody being disappointed that after having gone to California to try and find fame and fortune by playing music, he is told that he isn't talented......e.g. "you ain't got that do re mi".
....... 7/10
This is a very amusing little song of what I take to be the description of a redneck home in the southern states, whereby the subject of the song doesn't care about anything, so long as he can just sit back and get drunk. There are some great verbal descriptions of the man's family in the lines of the song, and as it carries on, the guy appears to be getting drunker and drunker. Similarly to the last track, there is a laid-back violin sound behind Ry's blues guitar, and the drumbeat. I wouldn't personally say this is an out and out blues track in itself, but Ry adds his own touch which lends the song a little of that dustbowl magic.
....... 10/10
This song starts with a little guitar backed by something brass (not sure what), then the violins and Ry's voice join in. It's a tale of woe and poverty....the man in the song can't afford to have the doctor visit when he's ill....he then goes on about how he remembers things being so much cheaper when he was younger, and current prices are making him feel dubious about living. The middle-eight has a lovely bendy note slide guitar blues section, backed by strings, drums and brass. The song then goes on to speak of prohibition, bemoaning the government's attitude to bootleggers, and winds down to a quiet close, all instruments fading out.
....... 9/10
Well.....you can't get more Mississippi-ish (blues-wise) than this! Ry comes into his element here with this slide guitar instrumental, and it's another of those tracks where you can almost imagine strolling through a little shanty town on the edge of a cotton field - and there at the end of a dusty dirt track, is a little wooden house, a black man sitting on a rocking chair out on his porch, strumming lazily away at a guitar in the hot, hot heat haze of somewhere like Mississippi, Florida (the real Florida I mean), Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana or similar. Ry's guitar is the prominent instrument, backed largely by percussion consisting of mostly drums and tambourine, which just fade away as the song ends.
....... 10/10
Ry Cooder here gives us his rendition of an old Leadbelly song. The mood and style of the song is very typically New Orleans, with a Mardis Gras feel...there is a very strong brass section to the forefront...I can't identify all the instruments, but I believe there's a French horn in there somewhere, and a chorus of trumpets. The drumbeat is very strong, accompanied by the occasional rhythmic crash on cymbals, and the whole track is plodding - but deliciously so. Ry doesn't play guitar on this track, but bends his voice into a guttural blues style which sends chills down your spine. I'm not sure what the black Southern Staters mean exactly by pigmeat, but whatever it means....this song is about it.
....... 10/10
Wow Wow Wow - Ry excels even himself with his rendition of this Blind Blake song. It is just his voice, with astonishing, quite forefront blues guitar. As he sings, the twiddles and slides up and down the scale on his guitar are delicious.....I first heard this by Blind Blake when I was a very small child, and Ry Cooder doesn't deterioriate the original magic in the slightest. The song is really about a man who keeps pestering his girlfriend when she wants him to just leave....she has bought a dog, and is threatening to send the dog into attack mode, if he won't leave her alone. The song ends on a masterfully played small set of blues chords.
....... 10/10
Now this is pure, utter, unadulterated blues at its very core. Though I can't find any information confirming my belief, I think this possibly could be another Leadbelly song. Again it's just Ry Cooder on guitar with some very bendy bluesy notes, and on every 4th beat he will slap the guitar to give a plodding sort of sound. This is so very reminiscent of the deep south....what I believe the very essence, heart and spirit of that part of the USA to be, is held entirely in this one simple, single song. It's largely about a man travelling to Brownsville, Texas, to see his woman after a long absence. True blues!
....... 10/10
I will be as short as I can on my description of this track, because if I say everything I feel about it, I will end up typing not just paragraphs, but chapters.....reams and reams. Ry's rendition of genius Blind Willie Johnson's composition is as good as the original. It was used as part of the score for the movie Paris, Texas, for which Ry composed the rest of the music. Not only is this track so exquisitely sad and soulful....very slow with notes bending all over the place, positively oozing great depth....it in my mind can't now be separated from Paris, Texas - I can't hear the track without the association happening. That's fine though as for me Paris, Texas is a masterpiece which was one of the first things I reviewed on DooYoo. Ry's version of this song is entirely instrumental, whereas Blind Willie Johnson hummed some of it in his very distinctive, gruff - but wholly honest and soulful voice. This is one of the most moving pieces of music ever written, and though I do enshrine Blind Willie Johnson's version as something almost holy (along with his other music....of which there is very little available, so what is around, is like gold-dust), Ry does it complete justice - I suspect, because he FEELS blues as it should be felt, and is able to transmute the true feeling via his own musical skill. I want to give this track 100 out of 10, but can't as that would be silly....so, let's settle for a stonking........
....... 10/10 with multiple commendations
This was the very first Ry Cooder album I bought and heard extensively, and I feel it gave me an excellent grounding as regards what to expect of him in general. This man is a true genius, and I'm sad that he is very highly rated only in certain circles.
I often wonder why people say they don't like blues, so I ask them to give me some examples of what to them, typifies blues - and they usually come up with tracks that are essentially urbanised R&B. I like that kind of music myself, but it's only one branch of blues - this offering from Ry Cooder is his own interpretation of the real thing, the core of blues, the birth of the blues, way down in the cotton belt of the USA - blues that arose from slavery, human misery, hardship...yet within its sadness, carrying a strength which saw the people who sung and played it in the first instance, through some of the most awful injustices perpetrated from one human being to another that modern history (outside of war) has known.

Samuel Gilboy is only 5 years old, but he can already name all the astronauts and their missions. Samuel is dealing with a life and death mission of his own.
He has type 1 diabetes. One missed insulin shot, and he could get very sick. If his blood sugar gets too low, he could die.
When Samuel started kindergarten, his parents tried to work with the school nurse so he would be safe. They quickly got a reality check. Samuel's mother, Lisa Hansen, said it was shocking.
"Those nurses don't stick. They're not around long enough to understand his diabetes and be thoroughly trained," Hansen said. "The schedule changes and they wind up going somewhere else. It's frustrating."
Sam and other children with chronic diseases are caught in the middle of a struggle between school districts that are crunched for money and understaffed nurses.
Don Wilson, the principal of Wonderland Elementary School, said his hands are tied.
"We work on a very limited budget, so we would have to decide between paper and pencils for the kids, or an extra day of nursing," Wilson said.
In LA Unified School District, there are 797 schools, but only 530 nurses. Last year alone, 36 nursing positions were cut.
These nurses serve multiple schools and rotate on a daily basis. So what happens when a nurse gets stuck in traffic?
"Sometimes they don't show up. If something goes wrong, they don't have a backup system, and so we wind up filling in a lot," Hansen said. "If someone is late, if someone is sick."
School nurses are not mandated in California. Or in Virginia, where, last month, first-grader Ammaria Johnson died after suffering an allergic reaction to peanuts at her school. No nurse was on hand to give her an Epi-Pen injection.
"There was a time when schools received full funding for a nurse, but there was a time when schools got funding for arts, music, and all of the other things we received in our schools," Wilson said.
And that leaves Samuel and the tens of thousands of kids like him and their families with few options.
"It's scary. Every time my cell phone rings, I'm like, 'What's wrong?'" Hansen said. "You kinda live a life on the edge."
In 2007, a rule was passed that allowed other trained school staff to administer shots. Parents said they were keeping their diabetic children out of school or having to leave work constantly to give the shots themselves.
But the nurses' associations sued, claiming it was unsafe. They successfully overturned the rule.
Now the American Diabetes Association is fighting in court to get the rule reinstated to provide relief to the parents.

text: Chicago's StyleMax Had Higher Than Expected Attendance Unveils National Prom Market Chicago. By Beth Wilson on August 26, 2008 Chicago's StyleMax, the largest women's apparel market in the Midwest, countered the questionable economy with higher-than-expected attendance this month and, at the same time, unveiled a new facet, National Prom Market Chicago. Susan McCullough, senior vice president for apparel for Merchandise Mart Properties Inc., said she was pleased with the amount and consistency of activity at the market, noting there were still handfuls of buyers looking to do business when StyleMax, which ran from Aug. 9 to 12 at the Merchandise Mart, ended. "There were still a lot of stores on the floor," McCullough said, noting the show's August edition enjoyed a single-digit percentage increase in attendance over last year. "In this economy, I was pleased. I was worried because everyone is saying retail is so terrible now." McCullough, who would not release figures, said the slight jump may be attributed to more area retailers questioning the expense of traveling to New York to do their buying. The market's newest addition, a 20,000-square-foot section devoted to prom and special occasion resources, likely attracted new buyers as well, she said. "Prom has been a major success for us," said McCullough about the area, which featured some 40 vendors including Alyce Designs, Tony Bowls for Mon Cheri, Faviana and LaFemme. "The manufacturers opened new accounts and were very happy." McCullough launched the section responding to many retailers who said it was difficult to buy both bridal and prom fashions at Chicago's expansive National Bridal Market in October. "It's so hard to do it all at once," McCullough said. "The [bridal] show is so huge. It's easier to shop separately. The stores like it." Retailers, meanwhile, continued to weather the economic downtown, with some faring better than others. Carrie Arrouet, co-owner of Lela in Milwaukee, said her 1,400-square-foot store, which houses a mixture of new, vintage and consignment clothing, is seeing sales about 10 percent higher than last year. Business has been buoyed by increased foot traffic due to Anthropologie moving in next door. "It's increased the visibility of the neighborhood and brought credibility to the district as a shopping destination," she said of her store's location along North Broadway. "People see value to our product." Anthropologie opened in January in the area, which is known as an arts district and is populated with many warehouses, located just south of downtown Milwaukee, she said. Arrouet, who was shopping StyleMax mostly for accessories, picked up patent envelope clutches from Big Buddha in purple, green, yellow and black, and also opted for oversize handbags in the same colors, as well as in pewter, silver and gold metallic shades. She also ordered leather and pounded metal jewelry from Bauxo, specifically buying hammered gold hoops and distressed leather cuffs for women and men for holiday gift-giving. Penny Meisel, owner of Necessities in Glenview, a north suburb of Chicago, said she has become more conservative in her buy, purchasing less on first orders with plans to reorder merchandise that sells. At StyleMax, she liked fashion jackets with bell sleeves from Luii in gray, red, black and plaids, as well as lightweight scarves from VSA in gray, black, purple and plaid. Meisel also bought 100 percent cotton sweaters from Willow, one of her best-selling lines, in purple and deep caramel and printed chiffon V-neck tops with lace trim from Sienna Rose. Lastly, the retailer picked up lacy tanks and layering T-shirts from G. Wheels in black, beige and white. Business, she said, has been "OK. I was already feeling it last year," she said. "And I'm not finding it too much different this year." In turn, Meisel said she widened her assortment, buying new lines of accessories and adding more clothing. "Now I can do multiple sales," she said. "When they buy an outfit, I can suggest a purse." Overall, the economic climate may be tougher for newer stores, McCullough said. "For stores that have been around a while, they've been through this before," she said. "I don't think people are going to stop buying clothes, period. But business is tough for everyone. We all have to work smarter." To access this article, click here to subscribe or click here to log in. load comments blog comments powered by Disqus

Derby winner checks into Pimlico for Preakness
The chestnut colt arrived at Pimlico Race Course on Monday after being taken by charter plane from Kentucky to Baltimore. After the plane touched down, I�ll Have Another and five of his stable mates received a police escort from Baltimore-Washington International Airport to Pimlico, site of the Preakness on May 19.
�He loves to fly. His ears were pricked,� assistant trainer Jack Sisterson said. �We were getting a police escort and there were people in the streets chanting, �I�d love another.� He knows that�s him.�
I�ll Have Another trainer Doug O�Neill had business in California, so Sisterson accompanied the horse to Baltimore.
It�s the earliest arrival by a Derby winner since Monarchos was shipped just four days after his 2001 victory.
�We discussed a few plans and we just thought the more time here to get used to the surface, the better for him,� Sisterson said. �I suppose it�s better to get the horse used to the surface and things like that. So, he�s here now, and we�re excited to have him here for the two weeks.�
Instead of staying in Stall 40, the traditional Pimlico home of the Derby winner, I�ll Have Another was guided by groom Benjamin Perez into Stall 17 in Barn D�next to the Preakness Stakes barn. He is positioned between two other horses trained by O�Neill.
For Team O�Neill, serenity was more important than tradition.
�I suppose it�s like a human. You want to try and get your rest,� Sisterson said. �If you�ve got 50 million people outside your bedroom, stopping and peeking every single day, you wouldn�t get much sleep, would you? I suppose being out of the way, getting him to relax and being himself, is better for the horse.�
I�ll Have Another won the Kentucky Derby as a 15-1 shot and became the first horse ever to win the Derby from the 19th post.
Now he�s got a shot at becoming horse racing�s first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978.
Sisterson said the team began thinking about the Preakness soon after the conclusion of the Derby.
�I suppose when you cross the winning line in first position, you�re, �Wow, we�re off to the Preakness now,�� Sisterson said. �Obviously you don�t want to jump ahead of yourself. You want to see how he comes out of the race and things like that. He�s doing fantastic. He�s eating everything.�
Those around I�ll Have Another couldn�t be happier.
�An absolute dream come true,� Sisterson said. �Words can�t describe the feeling. We�re excited about the horse.�

In NetBackup 6.5.6, FlashBackups taken of certain Windows mount points will not be backed up and will not be available for restore.
Error Message
An issue has been discovered in NetBackup 6.5.6 affecting the processing of paths of backup directives in a FlashBackup-Windows policy which can result in failed backups OR backups which appear to succeed but contain incorrect data and are unrecoverable. Affected paths are those which specify a particular mount point which does not correspond to a drive - for example, a mount point of \\.\E: would not be affected, but a mount point of \\.\E:\mount would be affected. Effectively, entries are misread so that the root (drive letter) of a path is used no matter which path is specified. Any images created which are affected by this issue are unrecoverable and cannot be used for restores.
What is Affected:
Flashbackup-Windows policies on NetBackup 6.5.6 clients are affected if they contain backup selections which do not correspond to drive letters (for example, \\.\E:\example\folder\path).
Previous versions of NetBackup are not affected.
NetBackup 7.0 is not affected.
FlashBackup for UNIX is not affected.
How to Determine if Affected:
Examine FlashBackup-Windows policy selections for entries which are not drive letters.
Additional symptoms may be displayed in NetBackup logs. Any or all of the following may occur:
Failed backups may occur with status code 42 (network read failed) reported in the Activity Monitor.
The client's bpbkar log may indicate a failure to lock a raw device and status code 13 (file read failed):
11:48:31.817: [2228.5656] <2> tar_backup_tfi::setupFileDirectives: TAR - backup filename = BACKUP \\.\E:\Drives\Drive2\ USING \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy591\ OPTIONS:ALT_PATH_PREFIX=C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\temp\_vrts_frzn_img_6156,FITYPE=MIRROR,MNTPOINT=\\.\E:\Drives\Drive1\,FSTYPE=NTFS
11:50:40.836: [2228.5656] <2> tar_base::V_vTarMsgW: WRN - can't lock raw device for read: \\.\E: (E:) (WIN32 5: Access is denied. )
11:50:40.867: [2228.5656] <2> tar_base::V_vTarMsgW: INF - EXIT STATUS 13: file read failed
Note that in the example above, the E: drive is attempted to be locked while the expected path is E:\Drives\Drive2. In this example, there is no intent to back up the entire drive (which has different permissions than the mount point), but that is what is attempted due to this issue.
If the backup should for some reason succeed (for instance, when there is no permission conflict between the mount point and its root drive), restore attempts will fail when attempting to navigate to the path(s) of the requested file/folder(s) for restore.
The bpdbm log will show that an incorrect path is traversed. In the following example, the root drive E:\ is examined when the intent is to navigate the mount point E:\mount:
13:24:12.157 [6288] <2> image_path: ?
13:24:12.157 [6288] <2> image_dir_name: ?

13:25:56.473 [6378] <2> process_request: request complete: exit status 0 ; query type: 223
1. Configure the mount point with a drive letter and change the policy to back up that drive letter instead of the mount point. Ensure that permissions of the root allow access.
2. Do not use FlashBackup-Windows policies to protect these mount points - instead, configure MS-Windows-NT policies with Cross Mount Points enabled.
3. Upgrade clients to NetBackup 7.0, where this issue is not present.
4. A fix for this issue has been posted for NetBackup 6.5.6 and is available here: https://www.veritas.com/docs/000011734
ETA of Fix:
The resolution to this issue (Etrack 2071154) is scheduled to be released in a future Release Update of NetBackup.
Best Practices:
Veritas strongly recommends the following best practices:
1. Always perform a full backup prior to and after any changes to your environment.
2. Always make sure that your environment is running the latest version and patch level.
3. Perform periodic "test" restores.

The Shondes, Leda, Elsinore
The Rock Shop
249 4th Avenue
Brooklyn, NY, 11215
Doors 7:30 PM
This event is 21 and over
"Giddy garage melodics with Sleater-Kinney twist." -Entertainment Weekly
"A touch of Bruce Springsteen, a touch of Nashville, and plenty of gritty '90s pop punk imparting the feel of an instant classic."
-MTV Iggy
"radical politics, power-pop melodies, traditional Jewish music, and punk vitriol."

Five-piece rock band with raw power and gorgeous melodies
Sparkling songcraft. Unbridled inspiration. Disciplined arrangements. PUSH/PULL, the forthcoming release from Champaign-Urbana, IL indie stalwarts Elsinore is a creative triumph by a band that cannot be discouraged.
What's their secret?
Elsinore's sunny secret is that they are part pop quartet, part lemonade stand. When life as a band, bootstrapping themselves out of the Midwestern mud into the limelight, gives them lemons, they make lemonade.
Cool, cool, sweet lemonade.
With the help of innumerable friends, mentors, allies, and like-minded experts—and without surrendering to the lure of the tortured artist "sad bastard" complex—they've taught themselves to be a fully professional band in an industry that doesn't often smile on third-coast upstarts.
Lemons. The four met at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois. It's okay if you haven't heard of it. Ryan Groff, Mark Woolwine, Dave Pride, and Chris Eitel clicked, and, wasting no time, immediately recorded and released the 2004 EP Harmonic Impulsion.
After opening for him, they befriended Larry Gates (Curb Service, Lorenzo Goetz), member of the most popular act in nearby Champaign-Urbana. That's Illinois' big college town—home of Hum and even REO Speedwagon—maybe you've heard of that one? After playing some gigs in Champaign, they saw opportunity, graduated, and migrated northwest. Lemonade.
In Champaign-Urbana, they got apartments, restaurant jobs, and traction. For decades the C-U music scene has been kindled behind a red door with no sign in an iffy downtown alleyway—Mark Rubel's Pogo Studio. With Rubel (HUM, Red Hot Valentines, The Vertebrats), Elsinore pooled their tip jars and recorded their first full-length Nothing For Design. From the veteran Rubel they got a lesson in good guitar tone, studio craftsmanship, and a revelation: older gear can be better. Now, Groff rocks a vintage Telecaster and amp both older than he is.
Lemons. During a period of downtime for Elsinore, Groff channeled his restlessness to hone his songwriting and arrangement skills with the 2007 solo release People in the Midwest. The record captured the attention of another inestimable C-U musical institution, the Parasol Records label, which would become Elsinore's home for the next two full-lengths. Lemonade.
By now Elsinore had abandoned their rootsy Americana sound, cased their acoustics, and gone electric. And met two new friends: producers Anthony Gravino (Temple of Low Men) and Adam Schmitt (Adam Schmitt! Pop genius!). Working between Gravino's Chicago studio and Schmitt's Urbana studio, over the course of a dedicated two and a half years (an estimated 1000 hours of studio time interspersed with over 200 live shows from coast to coast), they produced the head-turning album Yes Yes Yes.
Lemons. The Roy Lichtenstein Foundation tried to sabotage the release of Yes Yes Yes, accusing the Elsinore cover artist of plagiarizing the master plagiarist himself. Elsinore could afford no representation against the Manhattan art elite, but when they posted their dilemma, including the cease and desist, on boingboing.net, the internet rallied to support the underdog rock band against the crushing tyranny of the bourgeois art industry. The Lichtenstein people retracted their threats with a vague apology, but not before they had inadvertently given Elsinore more publicity than Elsinore's money could buy. Cheerfully, Elsinore thanked the dead artist's rapacious estate, and told them they'd be receiving a copy of the record. Gratis. Thanks for the lemonade, New York!
Yes Yes Yes went on to be a smashing success. Six songs licensed to television helped Groff break ground on his own Perennial Sound Studio, an all-around creative space for writing, rehearsing, teaching, and recording music. Fuel to the fire, sugar to the lemonade. It was time for a new record.
The sessions for Yes Yes Yes had been inspired but scattered: The sessions for Yes Yes Yes had been inspired but scattered: over two years, two studios, two cities, and two producers with two sets of great ideas. The new record PUSH/PULL is the opposite process: a year and a half of rehearsal and preparation, counseled by seasoned producer Beau Sorenson (Death Cab for Cutie, Bob Mould), followed by a two-week, blistering, disciplined studio session. Foreplay, it turns out, is important. As they had tried to do with 2005's On Display, with PUSH/PULL Elsinore sustains the momentum and successfully captures the juice of their live sound, while still building on the production level of Yes Yes Yes.
Lemons. After extensive preparation, five days before entering the recording studio to commit the implosive new material to tape, the eight-year-old quartet unexpectedly found itself a duo. In this heartbreak, Sorenson, Groff, and Elsinore keyboardist Mark Woolwine made lemonade, turned tragedy into opportunity, and shyly approached long-time musical crushes drummer James Treichler (The Dirty Feathers) and bassist Brad Threlkeld (Why I Like Robins). The new rhythm section accepted, strapped themselves into Groff/Woolwine's meteoric musical rocketship, and the five-man supergroup re-entered Pogo Studio.
Groff penned the songs of PUSH/PULL while weathering a series of life-bending personal trials: coast-to-coast tours, childbirth, a near-death experience for the former drummer at the very end of Yes Yes Yes touring, and winter-born interpersonal tension. As a result, PUSH/PULL plays like a Palahniuk novel full of peaks and valleys, twists and turns. Lemonade.
Maybe there's something about the tornadic Midwest that transforms humble musicians into song monsters. The ever-resilient Elsinore, for a moment on the ropes, has bounced back swinging. The brave next leap for an upward-bound band, PUSH/PULL parts the curtains on a new sunrise.

Latest from Gagné and Redman
- A juicy item from Judy Redman the last day or so:It followed quickly on André Gagné's latest blog entry, to which she links.Having recently received a copy of Vernon Robbins' Who Do People SayI Am?, she comments on that as well, linking to April DeConick's enthusiasticreview of it back in August. In the main, though, Judy's comments are abouta Gagné article in the journal Apocrypha, a portion of which she graciouslytranslates from French into English. It bears quoting here:
In logion 108, the revelation of hidden things is promised to those who drink from the mouth of Jesus. Obviously, there is a correspondence between what is hidden and the hidden words in the first lines of Gos Thom. The disciple is transformed by the words of Jesus. When he receives the words (= drinks from the mouth of Jesus), it is then that his own identity is lost in that of his master. Like Didymus Judas Thomas, who is recognized as the true hermeneutic of Jesus, the disciples, too, become a kind of twin of the master.
Logion 106 talks about the manner in which those who give themselves over to the principle of unity become Sons of Man. This unquestionably corresponds to the input of logion 108 where the "son of man" becomes "twin" of Jesus, the Son of Man.
The concept of twinship may be what is behind the characterization of Jesus as the living Father. Jesus is somehow the twin of his Father, so he has the same characteristics. Like their Master, the disciples will also come to demonstrate the characteristics of Jesus, even to the point of carrying the title that is normally attributed to him, "son of man." (p 221 - my translation without Coptic inclusions because I can't easily manage either Coptic alphabet or transliterations in WordPress)Although this reasoning strikes me as being basically on the right track, I do have acouple prima facie quibbles with it:(1) "... the characterization of Jesus as the living Father ..."This seems to derive from a questionable reading of L50. A "living Father" ismentioned there, but isn't clearly implied to be Jesus.(2) L106 "... unquestionably corresponds to the input of logion 108 where the 'son of man'becomes 'twin' of Jesus ..."Doesn't seem unquestionable to me. 'Son of man' isn't mentioned in 108. Why shouldwe believe that such folks are the referent of 'whoever'? Gagné's suggested two-stepprocess (first, you make the two one and thus become a 'son of man' [also enter thekingdom, as per L22?], then you drink from J's mouth, thus becoming a twin of him)needs more support than the word 'unquestionably'.Aside from these quibbles, the Facebook group called "Nag Hammadi Seminar",which Gagné co-manages and to which Judy links, has good stuff relevant to us.Mike Grondin

MARIETTA - Police say a jewelry store worker is facing charges in two counties for stealing $1.2 million in merchandise from her employer.
Police said 30-year-old Sara Lane Tolar has been charged on multiple counts of theft after she tried to sell jewelry she swiped from the Shane Company store in Fulton County at another jewelry store in Cobb County. Police received a tip from her boss after a year-end audit uncovered a startling amount of missing inventory.
Police said Tolar admitted to taking the jewelry from her employer over a five-month period.
Tolar is being held in the Cobb County jail after her March 21 arrest. Alpharetta police spokesman Officer George Gordon said the Fulton County grand jury likely will indict Tolar on the charges sometime this week.
He said she will be transferred to the Fulton County jail after the indictment.

Seward, Speenburgh Call For Tracking New York's Missing Sex Offenders
State Senator James L. Seward (R-C-I-/Milford) today called on the governor to implement a three-point plan within the next sixty days to help identify the whereabouts of the more than 1,000 convicted sex offenders who have failed to comply with address verification requirements. Seward was joined by Greene County Legislature Chairman Wayne Speenburgh, legislators Karen Deyo,Ray Brooks, Keith Valentine, Jim VanSlyke; Carol Stevens, county attorney, and Doug Brewer, county administrator.
The plan, which can be implemented by the governor without legislation, will help law enforcement officials track down the missing sex offenders and heighten awareness among the media and the general public when sex offenders might be on the loose in their communities.
"We cannot allow more than 1,000 convicted sex offenders to simply drop off the radar screen and roam our streets," Seward said. "The senate and Greene County are advancing a three-step strategy to immediately address this public safety scandal, and we are calling on the governor to enact the steps within the next sixty days.
"This about protecting children in our communities, plain and simple. We have a simple plan to do so that will work and can get going immediately," Seward added.
In an effort to more effectively track these dangerous missing sex offenders, Senator Seward outlined a plan that would:
*Establish a new investigative unit specifically tasked with tracking these criminals;
*Launch a new "missing sex offender web site" to keep the public informed about sex offenders whose whereabouts are unknown; and
*Create a new "predator alert" information sharing system to quickly inform law enforcement, the media, and the public when an offender goes missing.
The plan would:
Establish NYSAFE -- The New York Sex Offender Apprehension and Felony Enforcement Office. A new investigative unit – the NYSAFE Office – within the state police would be focused solely on tracking the location of registered sex offenders; verifying residency compliance; and notifying the public when a sex offender's whereabouts can no longer be determined.
Create a new missing sex offender web site. When an individual's whereabouts can no longer be determined, the NYSAFE Office will be required to immediately post Level 2 and Level 3 offender information on a new DCJS missing sex offender web site until the offender is located. The website would be similar to New York's "100 Most Wanted" web site, which has proven to be a highly successful law enforcement tool that has helped identify and apprehend many of the worst fugitive felons in the state.
New York's "100 Most Wanted Site," which has already received more than two million hits and led to the capture of more than 100 violent criminals statewide, currently includes the following information about fugitive felons: the offender's name, picture, county of conviction or location of criminal activity, and the crime committed.
Create the PREDATOR - Protect, Deter, Alert, Track, and Report System. The third piece calls for the state police to establish a new PREDATOR alert system – patterned after the highly successful Amber alert system – that would immediately alert local law enforcement agencies and the media of missing registered Level 2 and Level 3 sex offenders. Currently, when a child goes missing an Amber alert is immediately sent out around the state, and at times, around the country. However, when a level three sexual predator goes missing, police may obtain a warrant for the offender's arrest but members of the public are often left in the dark and in danger.
"I applaud Sen. Seward and the state senate for these proposals," said Greene County Legislature Chairman Wayne Speenburgh. "These are positive steps that will help protect our communities and make children safe We, as elected officials, have a responsibility to our families, community members and all residents of this state to protect them from sexual and violent crimes. There are too many sex offenders not accounted for that could be lurking around any corner in any community."
"It is unconscionable that 1,000 convicted sex offenders have failed to comply with registration requirements and are right now wandering our streets and living in our neighborhoods," stated Senator Seward. "This poses a very serious threat to our children and families and must be addressed immediately. We cannot risk letting one more day go by without taking these necessary steps to protect our communities."
In addition to the proposals announced today, members of the senate majority have introduced a number of bills designed to combat the problem of sexual predators, including GPS monitoring of sex offenders.

No One Was Home - Poem by Debanjan Dhar
It was in a Saturday afternoon that everything seemed to rhyme
As if all seasons had come back to their birth time.
A piano man played a trick from the back of the hedge,
The sun fed flower caught his act but listened to his pledge.
A river played along with the afternoon merry.
So did a white and blue china vessel with a blueberry.
A blue bird may have perched on the sill but no one knew
For the piano man had fled and the door mouse was in pursue.
No one was home when the golden chrome had made love to the walls.
The lazy crazy kitten goofed around with a brave heart butterfly.
A young leaf with its yellow soul prayed she shouldn't die.
So a cocky crow threw a blessing to the kitty
And the soaring butterfly flaunted her wings' nitty-gritty.
A crumb of bread the piano man had given the crow
Had saved a butterfly in its earthly flow.
Saturday afternoon smiled and the seasons tumbled at play.
Look for the bangles in a hand on the palm of which a raindrop lay.
No one was home when the golden chrome had made love to the walls
Oh china vessel would you breakdown when the drawing room doors open?
Would you be startled blue bird if your sill is again hope stricken?
Why flower child did you make the piano man run away?
I was hoping to kiss your roots but you sent me astray.
Oh why, No one was home when the golden chrome had made love to the walls!

WINNIPEG - Ondrej Pavelec isn't ready for his season to end.
Despite starting 43 of the 48 games during the lockout-shortened season, the Winnipeg Jets goalie is feeling fresh and ready to answer the call to play for the Czech Republic at the upcoming 2013 World Men's Hockey Championship in Sweden and Finland.
"I don't feel like it's over, I just want to keep playing," said Pavelec. "It's going to be exciting. I always love to play for my country. This is the last national team action before the Olympics."
There will be plenty of players looking to leave an impression leading into the event scheduled for Sochi, Russia next winter.
Jets captain Andrew Ladd is hoping to play for Team Canada in a third consecutive world championship, but left-winger Evander Kane won't be joining him because of injuries to his wrist and foot.

COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI)-Some young girls at Palmer Home Children in Columbus received a visit from Miss Teen Mississippi.
Girls ages 12 and up got the chance to sit down and talk one-on-one with Hattiesburg resident, Summer Morrissette.
Summer shared her story about her success and even brought the girls pillows she made herself.
Summer says it's important to encourage younger girls to conquer their dreams.
"Palmer Home is a great place and they have helped these young girls grow spiritually and emotionally and I think it's very important to be a role model for them to show them that there are girls out there just like them who want to make a difference and who want to make the world a better place," says Summer Morrissette.
She took home the title of Miss Teen Mississippi in April of this year.

SALT LAKE CITY — The woman recalled how her 4-month-old son stared at her as he cried and was carried away by a friend who had offered to watch him.
"He was staring right at me," Hailey Calhoun testified Monday, "like he wanted his mom, like he knew something was going to happen."
Later, a detective told her that her son was being taken to the hospital. Within days, the child was taken off of life support and pronounced dead.
"He was an amazing baby," Calhoun said. "He was great. He hardly cried. He was always happy."
The mother testified during a preliminary hearing for Jennifer Duran Martinez, 36, her former friend and her son's caregiver, who is charged with murder, a first-degree felony, in Kaysen Calhoun's death. Kaysen was unconscious when he was hospitalized Sept. 22 and died on Sept. 24.
After hearing from five witnesses, 3rd District Judge Andrew Stone ordered Martinez to stand trial on the murder charge.
Calhoun met Martinez while the two women were living at the same apartment complex in Murray. They had daughters around the same age and met through their children.
"We started talking more and more and became friends," Calhoun recalled, adding that Martinez first offered to watch Kaysen. "In front of me, I thought she was good with him. That's why I trusted her."
Martinez would watch Kaysen while Calhoun worked and sometimes overnight. Beginning Sept. 19, Calhoun said the baby boy wasn't feeling well and was fussy.
Kaysen's condition was bad enough that Calhoun said she called in sick on Sept. 22 and spent the majority of the day with the baby and Martinez. Around 4 p.m., she left to go pick up her two daughters from their grandparents' house. She planned to take Kaysen, but said Martinez assured her he was fine to stay with her.
She went to pick up her daughters and left her phone in the car, Calhoun said. When she got back to the car around 5 p.m., there were multiple missed calls from Martinez. Calhoun tried calling and they soon connected.
"(Martinez) was hysterical on the phone," Calhoun said. "I couldn't understand a word she was saying. The detective got on the phone and told me Kaysen was being taken to Intermountain Medical Center. He told me to be careful, but, you know, he's my son."
She testified that she never squeezed, hit or shook her son. It would later be determined that he had suffered broken ribs, brain injuries, a skull fracture and retinal hemorrhages in his eyes — all consistent with shaking and blunt force trauma.
"All of his injuries are explained by an abusive cause," said Dr. Karen Hansen, a pediatrician who specializes in child abuse. "Pretty much he was what we call brain dead when he first arrived."
Dr. Julie Adams, a assistant state medical examiner, ruled Kaysen's death a homicide caused by blunt force trauma to the head. She said it was "highly likely" all of the fatal injuries were caused at the same time.
Murray police detective Kevin Johnston said he and paramedics arrived at Martinez's apartment at the same time. They tried to open the door and found it locked. When they knocked and did not get a response, they kicked in the door and found Martinez at the end of a hallway trying to perform CPR on the small child.
The paramedics grabbed the child and Johnston ran with them to the ambulance. When he returned to Martinez's apartment, the woman was on the phone.
"When I first went into the apartment, Ms. Martinez seemed distraught," Johnston testified. "(She had a) more frustrated, aggravated appearance when I came back."
Murray police officer Nathan Pentico said during three of four interviews, Martinez said Kaysen was fine but soon started spitting up blood and then became unconscious.
"Jennifer said she loved Kaysen just like a son, that she was very close to him, that she was always holding him and loving him," Pentico said.
Pentico said both Calhoun and Martinez were considered persons of interest early on in the investigation. But he said his attention shifted to Martinez during an interview at the police station when she said she was the only one with the infant in the hour and a half before his death. This stuck out to him because one doctor told him that Kaysen would have shown immediate effects from his injuries and would have died soon after they were inflicted, he said.
He told Martinez that the child would have had to sustain the fatal injuries while in her care. He said Martinez said she was bouncing Kaysen and may have bounced him too hard before "she finally admitted to me that she shook Kaysen."
He said Martinez said she shook the infant because he wouldn't stop crying and demonstrated how she held him as she shook him, which was consistent with the injuries he sustained. She said she shook the child for about five minutes.1 comment on this story
Defense attorneys questioned why Pentico didn't mention another doctor's opinion that the injuries could have been inflicted between 9 and 11 a.m. and asked Calhoun about some text messages she sent Martinez Sept. 19 in which she said Kaysen was "driving me crazy" and that she was ready to "kill Kaysen."
"We intend to show it was not my client who caused the injury," defense attorney John West told the judge.
"I was staying stupid stuff," Calhoun explained. "I didn't mean it literally."
When asked why his client confessed if she is not guilty, West said the interview with police was "extremely long" and may have involved mental and emotional coercion.
An arraignment hearing has been set for Sept. 10.

I came over this album while browsing the local record store, and I was amazed to find something I'd never heard of in their slim selection of metal and rock. The fact that the band featured former Deceased drummer and vocalist King Fowley sealed the deal, I had to have it.
Sadly, it did NOT meet my expectations, and I regret that I ever spent the small sum it cost me. First of all, the lyrics are just moronic ramblings about satan and sacrifice, written in such a way, you'd think they were the work of a suicidal goth kid plotting a petty revenge against the world. And the horrible performance doesn't help either, the phrase "choking a chicken" gets a whole new meaning. The guitars and bass are dull, anonymous and monotonous, and the sloppy production just might be doing them a favour, concealing the obvious lack of talent. Even the King does a poor job, and is so far from the brilliance of Deceased that it sound like he doesn't even care. Either that, or he just gave up trying to make them sound good. Just to top it off, they added some disgusting synth to the mix, assuring its place at the bottom of the ranks.
There's not a single track that stands out on this album, as they're pretty much all horrible. If I'd have to mention one positive thing, there's a solo at the end of the track 'Bottomless Pit' that isn't half bad , but those 20 seconds have no chance of rectifying the other 45 minutes of shite. If you want a good alternative, go get some Saviours or something instead, and don't ever waste your time on Doomstone, at least not this album....
The only reason I listened to this album again, was for this review so that I'm able to warn other people about it. Now that I'm done with it, I'll set it on fire, sending it back from whence it came. I'm gonna put on some real music now, and sleep off this headache...

" Brand: Kerrygold / Type: Cheese "
Living abroad there's a small handful of things I miss and that mostly revolves around cheese. A good supply of cheddar cheese is a necessary purchase for me. This week I decided to run with Kerrygold Mature Cheddar Cheese.
The packaging is one of those white opaque plastic bags which seals it for extra freshness, once opened it should be consumed quickly or it soon starts to go off. The design on the front isn't particularly memorable, it just looks very Irish! The minute you open up the package you are taken in to a strong smelling mouth-watering world of slightly sour smelling, extremely rich cheesiness. Crumbly but solid enough to cut a slice off without spreading it all over your kitchen, it's just the texture that I look for in cheddar.
The taste is notably creamy, it's not so mature that it makes the back of your throat tingle but it's clearly got a bit of a kick to it. It's definitely a cheese I can rely on in the future and one that you should definitely try. It most certainly subsides cheesy withdrawals!
Developed with care over a 12 month period, Kerrygold Mature cheddar is a truly mature cheese with a distinctive creamy taste, firm body and rich, rounded flavour.

Tomorrow: Calendaring the Bedford Historic District
Tomorrow the Landmarks Preservation Commission will vote to calendar the Bedford Historic District, which has been in the works for a few years now. According to the Bedford Stuyvesant Society for Historic Preservation:
Over the past two years, community groups, Council Member Albert Vann and other elected officials, Community Board 3 and local preservation groups have lobbied the LPC to revisit the designation of the Stuyvesant Heights Expansion as well as the designation of the proposed four other proposed districts in Bedford-Stuyvesant. As a result of these actions, LPC staff held a designation hearing for the Stuyvesant Heights Historic District Expansion on August 2, 2011 and will vote to calendar the Bedford Historic District on May 15, 2012.
The residents of Bedford-Stuyvesant are overwhelmingly in favor of the designation of the of the Bedford Historic District and look forward to the swift consideration and designation of additional districts within greater Bedford-Stuyvesant, including, Stuyvesant East, Stuyvesant North, and Stuyvesant West.
The LPC spoke to the neighborhood about this particular HD in March of this year.

Around N. Y. Harbor
Ship Photos Taken As A Kid
This page should surely follow
this one
which shows me at the age when I began exploring more of N.Y. Harbor other than the Brooklyn piers, though it starts out with photos taken from the Brooklyn 69th Street Ferry, and along Shore Parkway.
There aren't many photos, but enough to re-kindle fond memories of mine, and others of the Harbor in the forties, and early fifties.

Collision American steam passenger vessel SS EXCALIBUR and Danish freight vessel Columbia, in New York Harbor on 27 June, 1950. This photo taken from the 69th Street Ferry. The Excalibur laid out there sunk, down by the head for weeks.
Speaking of collisions...in 1948 my father, and I went into Manhattan to see the new Swedish American Line ship S.S. Stockholm...on her maiden voyage. We took the offered tour of the ship before she sailed...they did things like that in those days. After getting the photos developed, my father remarked: "With a bow like that, if she ever hit anything, she'd go right through it!" Eight years later she struck, and sunk the Itialian line S.S. Andrea Doria.

Stanley, the childhood friend who's uncle was a Scow Captain, wrote a letter to Moran Towing asking for a ride on one of their new tugs when they docked the Queen Elizabeth, and got a positive reply telling us to be at Pier One North River on a certain date, and to join the Peter Moran...an older tug.
Stanley, and I took the subway for a nickle to Manhattan, and Pier One, where we joined the Peter Moran, and as soon as we boarded it left for Hoboken. There we transferred to the Barbara Moran, one of the five new tugs Moran just took delivery on.

As soon as boarding the Barbara, we were treated to breakfast as she left to rendezvous with other tugs to dock the Queen Elizabeth, which was acomin'.

The popular Barrack type cruise ship of today achieves its humongous size, stated in "Measurement Tons" - the "ton" of 100 cubic feet being the unit in recording the volume of the enclosed space, because of its shape. If you replaced the upper decks of the Queen Elizabeth with a slab-sided super-structure, or box...it would, in Net Registered ( gross ) tons, become again the largest passenger vessel...if it were around...it isn't.
On another trip into Manhattan, to see the world's most advanced freighter - the Norwegian Johnson Line ship - Seattle - they built several, Stan, and I wandered the immediate docks, and caught some photos of the Cunard Liners - Caronia, painted its famous pastel green; Queen Mary; and Queen Of Bermuda.

We present here, photos of the Essayons, the world's largest self-propelled suction dredge. Built for the Army Corps Of Engineers, she joined a fleet of these ships called "Hoppers". Beautiful ships in their own right, and wonderfully maintained by the Corps. They could make fast work of dredging a harbor the size of New York, on their own, considering their size, meandering in, an out of slips, manuevering like a small boat using their powerful twin propellors, and rudders.

These last two photos were taken randomely, I forget where; one of an old steam RailRoad tug, looks like B&O, and the other, I think, of an
old steam ferry
...perhaps a side wheeler, that did run between Brooklyn, and Staten Island before the Diesel-electrics ( Electric Ferries ) took over.
I remember the scene at 69th Street pier of one of these side-wheel ferries capsized after the hurricane of '38. They were fascinating to see when steaming...their "walking beam" on top, transferring the power from the steam engine to the side wheels/paddles, frothing up the water like soap bubbles on each side. My mother said I called the wake just that - soap bubbles...I was five, or six at the time. I can still smell the old pier timbers, and taste the Dixie Cups of that era.

Review for Stop The Silence Stop Child Sexual Abuse Inc, Glenn Dale, MD, USA
I was amazed at the impact Stop the Silence Stop Child Sexual Abuse had on me when I saw the play, "To Kill A Kelpie". This is such important work that needs to be done on a large scale, and this could be an excellent vehicle to do just that. After the play, Pam conducted a discussion that was immensely powerful. Several survivors spoke, one I am certain for the first time publicly. Very powerful.
I am also involved in another group trying to bring light to this sadly secret problem and am shocked at the depth and complexity of this problem. I am also amazed at the lack of awareness on behalf of the general public.
I cannot believe we allow our children to suffer in silence while this horror continues. This issue desperately needs to reach every adult so we can protect our precious children.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
As I mentioned above, the discussion at the end of the play was intense. It is a conversation that needs to take place, regardless of the discomfort it causes. I really feel everyone in that theatre was touched by the reality of this situation and left more aware of its prevalence. I dare say those who interact with children left with an entirely new perspective
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would like to find ways to give it more visibility so it can obtain more funding. I have offered to serve on their Board to see what more I can do. This voice needs to be heard.
