Honouring our war dead, and the sacrifices of those who served and survived, ought not to be as controversial as it too often seems to be.
But, again, in what is sadly becoming an early November tradition, this year's Remembrance Day is being marked by controversy. A group of students at the University of Ottawa has embraced the left-leaning Rideau Institute's initiative to wear white poppies, instead of the traditional red ones distributed by the Royal Canadian Legion, and intends to distribute them during the Nov. 11 ceremonies at the national Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa. The logic behind the campaign — if logic is the term — is that a white poppy supports peace, while a red one glorifies war.
Celyn Dufay, one of the reported "handful" of UofO students getting behind the white poppy campaign, told the Sun News Network that, "Young people don't want to celebrate war. We want to work for peace."
Hmmkay, then. Not a history major, I'm guessing.The red poppy is inherently a symbol of peace. Not just of peace as a concept — pleasant a concept as it is — but as the hard-won peace that hundreds of thousands of Canadians, and our allies, earned at such great cost. The poppy is not a symbol of our victory — a national flag or a military battle ensign or guidon would serve more than ably in that role. Poppies are not a symbol of military conquest and national glory; indeed, they are not a symbol of any nation at all.
Though no Canadian should need to be reminded, it is worth ever so briefly recapping why the poppy was chosen as the symbol of remembrance. As is so memorably told in John McCrae's In Flanders Fields, the poppies were the Belgian wildflower that went forth and multiplied so prodigiously in the blood-soaked, artillery churned soil of First World War battlefields. They added a rare splash of colour, and life, in the blasted landscapes of that brutal conflict. And the poppies bloomed over the shattered bodies and among the trenches of the Allies and our enemies alike.
There can be no better symbol of peace than that. The very existence of a white poppy campaign, ostensibly to promote peace, is insulting by its implication that the red poppy glorifies war. No one who saw the poppies blooming in the blood of 1915, or has walked the silent rows of white headstones in the Commonwealth war cemeteries that are still carefully tended throughout Europe, sees any glory there.
War is, as the cliché tells us, hell. In modern times, we Westerners have been spared the full horrors of total global conflict. But there are still Canadians today who remember the Second World War, even fought in it. There are also thousands of Canadians with us today who served in Afghanistan, and countless Canadians who loved or knew someone who went to that far-off land and never returned. There are the Canadians who died in peacetime, in accidents at home and abroad, while standing guard in Western Europe across from the might of the Soviet Red Army, or while doing their best to bring peace to war-torn lands abroad. And, of course, there are all those that these peace-time casualties left behind.
I wonder how much they feel Celyn Dufay has to teach them about sacrifice and the glorification of war.
Personally, I see no problem with Canadians taking pride in what our country has accomplished on the battlefield. War is hell, but just wars are sometimes necessary. The brutal reality is this — if guys like my grandfather hadn't flown bombers against German cities during the flower of their youth, guys like my brother-in-law's grandfather would never have gotten out of Auschwitz alive. There is evil in the world, and some problems that can only be solved through the controlled application of violence. That is a tragic fact, but less tragic than what happens when the good guys decide they're too kind-hearted to fight the bad ones, or fail to prepare for the possibility of war and are unable to raise an army in time.
But that's not glorifying war. It's acknowledging what others have done on our behalf, at great (sometimes ultimate) personal sacrifice. War should not be glorified, but it should be remembered, so that the peace we're lucky enough to enjoy today can be fully appreciated. The poppy is how we do that — and I'm wearing my red one with pride.

And I am so thankful that He kept me out of the hands of the multiple wolves in sheep's clothing.
I was also bullied for 3 years but I learnt how to endure the bullying and I also managed to forgive the bullies of which some are now my friends.
I was taught about Christianity in RE lessons and most of my RE GCSE was on Christianity, I have never been taught about evolution.
My sister had milk from a bottle until she was 3, are you suggesting that she should have been breastfed until the age of 3?
I read this article yesterday, and I also went through and read all the comments, and it is clear that you have no idea what you are talking about, and nothing from the Bible to back it up. I have never heard of an 'anti-breastfeeder', this is because most people mind their own business when it comes to other people's children.

The Fact Is…8/28
The Fact Is…
Your brain hates your nose.
That's right, your brain absolutely despises the way your nose looks. It's almost like your brain is giving your nose the silent treatment. Moody biatch!
Why do I say that? Because you can always see your nose, but your brain ignores it. Not even a hello…nothing.
Here are some other weird facts about your nose:
- There are 14 types of noses, at least. From Greek Nose to Hawk Nose.
- Your parents gave you your sneeze. The way you sneeze is genetic.
- The nose grows in a downward trend.
- Your nose can detect over 10,000 scents.
- You can't hum when your nose is plugged.

Hey all. Feeling a little blah today. Last week a computer technician reformatted my hard-drive and erased my personal C library(20, 000 lines of function code), my Windows library(5000 lines), and all my programs, including my first ones. So needless to say, a lot of work to be done! Still, I don't feel like working on it today.
Does anyone have a program they need written? Maybe that will stimulate my brain a bit! I don't really care what level of difficulty, just something you would like to use - some utility or something but don't feel like writing yourself? I'm just bored, that's all.

List Rules Only male tennis players from 1968 to the present
This list of the greatest male tennis players of the Open Era includes some of the most iconic names in men's tennis. Who are the best male singles tennis players since the game became open (professionals included) in 1968? Some might argue that Roger Federer is, without question, one of the best - if not *the* best men's tennis player of all time. Disagree? That's totally fine, just cast your votes as you see fit and, if you want, you can also re-rank this list in any order you like. Any list of great male tennis players of the Open Era should include many of the players on this list of the greatest men's tennis players of all time. And debates can certainly get interesting. Nadal vs. Federer is a pretty epic debate, for example. Sure, Nadal may rule the clay courts, but where does he stack up in the bigger picture, especially against the likes of Pete Sampras, Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg? Does Novak Djokovic deserve to be listed here? He's arguably one of the top current men's tennis players. Andy Murray? Same situation. It's hard to know for sure where these younger players will rank in the annals of tennis history, but it's sure hard to argue they aren't some of the best. If you're a huge tennis fan, you might also want to check out these lists and vote for the greatest female tennis players of the Open Era and the best players of all time, too.

Angelina Jolie hit headlines on Sunday after turning up to the 84th Annual Academy Awards wearing a sexy split up her floorlength gown which revealed her toned right leg.
She received so much attention thanks to the saucy pose as she took to the red carpet with partner Brad Pitt that a spoof Twitter account was set up in her leg's honour. And it's already garnered 30,000 followers. And she caused such a stir 3,399 tweets were made about her per minute throughout the ceremony.
A spokesperson from the Academy said, "Angelina Jolie's appearance got a LOT of people talking - 3,399 tweets per minute about her in fact."
And various messages on the spoof site included comments such as: "Check out this leg over here!" "Still here. Great view, but thank god for the slit in this dress", and "You have to admit I'm one hell of a leg".

Fuel: Frozen foods
"Winter athletes need calories in bunches. The best way to get them is activity-dependent. Out for a day of X-C? Carbo-load for easy energy. Exploring the Arctic? Feast on fat for staying power. Below, three pros reveal what they eat to push through the powder." --Daniel Grushkin

(CCFI [1]) – The NCFEI index at 2154.56 represents 7-year high and is at striking distance to the all-time high of 2338 (29/07/1992). The healthier corporate results from the industrial and banking sector boosted the Saudi Market this week. The CCFI Index, which opened this week at 161.08, moved up continuously to touch a high of 165.56 before closing marginally lower at 165.12. The week belonged to banking as all the banking stocks looked up. The CCFI sector indices reflected a mixed trend with Banking, Industrial and Services sectors moving up and Cement, Electricity and Agricultural sectors moving down. The stock -wise activity was mixed with 28 stocks moving up and 26 moving down. This week witnessed a huge increase in the number of trades compared to last week. 13213 trades were executed for the week compared to 9661 last week. Industrial sector continued to lead with 4596 trades and the Banking followed with 3115 trades.
On the Volume front, Industrial sector again led with nearly 41 percent of the total market volume, but on the turnover Banking sector led with nearly 46.3 percent of the total turnover. Overall market volume moved up by 17 percent. SABIC, the market leader, which announced excellent results (net income up 433 percent), led the market to greater heights. With the economy expected to do well and the corporate sector announcing better quarterly results, the market seems to move into a bullish zone.
The oil market cooled down with the OPEC members giving signals of possible production increase based on the agreed band, if the prices remained above $28 per barrel. The price as on Friday was around $26.89 per barrel.
SABIC led the list of stocks that attracted most of the market activity. SABIC attracted around 1.8 million shares in 1779 trade, which approximates to 19 percent of the market volume. SCECO central attracted the most of the retail activity with 2836 trades generating nearly 5 percent of the market volume. SAFCO, which turned around in the last quarter of 1999, reported improved results with net income growing by 25 percent in the second quarter compared to the previous quarter. NIC, which reported a drop of 36 percent in the results for the quarter ending 30th June, closed lower by 2.3 percent. The top 10 active stocks continued to dominate the market with nearly 71 percent of the market volume generated out of these stocks. Livestock with 11 percent of market volume and Riyad Bank with 9 percent of market volume were other stocks that were active this week.

Twelve full months of crime data show that, since the department enacted the Data Driven Approach to Crime and Traffic Safety (DDACTS) protocol, the burglary rate for the city has dropped to its lowest level since 2007.
The DDACTS method, developed in collaboration by the U.S. Department of Justice and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, provides a framework for police departments to identify the areas where traffic and crime rates are highest. The departments then begin to enact high-visibility traffic stops and other crime prevention tactics to deter would-be criminals in the "hot spots."
Residential burglaries began to spike in Prairie Village around the time of the financial crisis in 2008. That year, the police department recorded 88 burglaries, nearly double the 45 in 2007. Burglaries peaked in 2009 with 102, and then dropped to 80 and 67 in 2010 and 2011, respectively. Most of the break-in activity was concentrated in Ward 6, in the neighborhoods that bordered State Line Road.
Since DDACTS was implemented here in April 2011, the department has recorded 46 burglaries. In the first quarter of 2011 alone — before DDACTS was enacted — there had already been 26.
Police Chief Wes Jordan said that while the numbers are promising, it will take continued effort to keep the rates down.
"We can't make any broad conclusions at this point," he said. "But the evidence we see from other departments that have used this, if you stick with it and don't let up, you can keep the rates down."
Statistics show that Prairie Village officers have logged a total of 2,448 hours of DDACTS enforcement. During that time, they've made 2,881 stops, issued 1,062 verbal or written warnings, and made 118 arrests.

I meet Sensei Freeman in 2000 and started to train in Aikido at Three Rivers over the holidays of 2000-2001. My training in Aikido grew from 2 hours a week to 4 hours a week by 2002. By 2003 my training went to 6 hours a week in Sensei Freeman's classess. Two of those hours a week in 2003- 2004 where in the morning one on one with Sensei Freeman. I started to instruct on Monday nights as a substitute instructor in 2004. By 2005 I changed nights with Sempai Dan Woods and became the permanent instructor for the Tuesday night 2 hour adult class. I continued in those early years to train with my teacher "Freeman Sensei" for four hours a week. In 2008 Freeman Sensei passed on to me the responsibility of Shodan on my 54th birthday with his teachers blessing, Take Sensei Steven Seagal.
Today in 2011 I still have the privilege to be the instructor for the Tuesday night adult class at Three Rivers Aikido. I still train in my teacher's class no less than four to six hours a week. With the blessing of my teacher and his teacher I am also the head instructor of a Three Rivers Aikido satellite dojo named Shin-Gane Aikido that started in 2009. I instruct there two hours every Wednesday night. Since I have started in Aikido I have worked up to an average of 8- 10 hours a week on the mat without ever running out of enthusiasm to learn and pass along Aikido.
Since I have started in Aikido I train 52 weeks of every year and I can count on one hand how many classes I have missed in my regular instructing and training schedule. I feel as an aikidoka and instructor I should keep my personal level of learning in my chosen martial art as fresh as I can. I am accomplishing this by spending the hours each week with my teacher, attending seminars and staying focused on all aspects of Aikido.
In all the years I have trained in Aikido, I have had to use my aikido in a real life situation only once, helping someone that could not help "protect" themselves from a group of very bad people. Aikido works and I firmly believe in this martial art.
-Mike Swederska Sr Shodan

When I had my "day job," I counted down the hours until the end of the day when I could leave. Sometimes it couldn't come quickly enough.
This weekend, however, as the blogger spokesperson, I danced the night away in the parking lot of The Home Depot in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for their bi-annual Girls' Night Out, stoked to be part awe of working with RYOBI power tools, which I'd probably do for free if money were no object.
It was a fabulous event!
When they say that Girls' Night Out is like one big party……they weren't kidding! About 1,000 women came to rock out with Tom Joyner, the host for the evening (the Tom Joyner from The Tom Joyner Morning Show radio program).
Just watch this video of the action! These were the tame moments. (I wish you could have seen the Soul Train line…….).
My job was to do a 15-minute power tools demonstration with my favorite power tools, and to show the women how to put together a hostess tray kit that came in their bags.
These are the hostess trays I made and decorated at home and stenciled with my Silhouette Cameo, then used these for stage props during my presentation. I loved how they turned out! (The one on the left I made from scratch. The one on the right was from the Home Depot kit).
I reeeeaaallly wanted to inspire these ladies to know that power tools really aren't as scary and intimidating as they may feel. I wanted them to have fun putting their trays together. (Some had never used a power drill before!). I wanted them to know that with just four tools (i.e. the power drill, circular saw, nailer, and sander), they could start doing DIY projects around their home. And that they are creative. They just need to believe it.
The Unexpected "Uh Oh"s!
The horror that my cell phone's alarm started chirping "Bath Time!" during the LIVE broadcast (and I had to discreetly root for my phone in my smock to silence it)……. YIKES! lol. If you watch the replay, you can hear it chirping towards the end of the video. Oh my….!! LOL
…….And let's not forget that I couldn't, for the life of me, get that stubborn hostess tray kit to join properly without shifting around during the demonstration! LOL. After fiddling with it for a moment, I finally declared, "Okay, it's giving me problems….Let's move on!"
Nothing is perfect. Definitely not LIVE performances!
Behind the Scenes Pics
Everyone on the RYOBI team gathered for one last touch-base before the ladies started filing in.
I have to say that I love partnering with them! Everyone is friendly, professional, and makes me feel like I'm part of their family. 🙂 How awesome is that?!
Women started lining up a couple hours before the event started. When I saw them, I silently squealed, This is really happening!
Before long, the huge white tent in the parking lot of The Home Depot quickly filled, and women were ready to party!
Watch this video to see some of the dancing going on at the event!
This is how huge the audience was:
And there was little 'ole me on stage presenting to all of them!
It was soooo loud in there, even while presenting. At one point, in my second presentation of the night, I had to ask the audience, "Can you all be quiet?" My friend couldn't believe I had asked them that. But hey–you have to command the attention, right? 🙂
After my presentation, Denise from Organized Home, part of CocoaFab TV, wanted to interview me. We had a hard time talking over the loudness! I think my ears are still ringing from the event. LOL
Watch the Replay!
Many of you probably missed the LIVE stream. No worries! You can see the replay of my presentation HERE.
And We've Got BIG HAIR!
I'm always memorized when I meet other girls with BIG HAIR. I think Rita from CocoaFab, is the winner here. LOL
Power Tools Winner!
For those of you that registered to watch LIVE online, you were entered to randomly win a power tools kit from RYOBI. There were 40 of you that entered, so your odds were good! A big congrats to Nancy for being the winner!
This was such a fun event! I can only hope that I will have another opportunity to participate again in the fall. I've heard the next Girls' Night Out will be in Alabama. Hopefully I'll see you there! 😉

PCHSearch&Win Knows What To Do With That Leftover Candy!
Now that Halloween is over, chances are your little ghosts and goblins may have gone overboard collecting candy door-to-door. Maybe it was you who bought too many bags of goodies for trick-or-treaters. Either way, you probably have more leftover Halloween candy than you or the kids could (or should) eat. My first instinct on how to get rid of all my leftover candy was to eat it. Then I thought that there must be a better way so I performed a search at PCHSearch&Win to find other options for my surplus of sweets.
Searching on PCHSearch&Win not only gives you the best results from top search engines powered by Google and Yahoo, it's the only search engine that gives you the chance to win a millionaire-making Mega Prize! That's right! Searching at PCHSearch&Win not only makes you eligible for daily PCHSearch&Win Instant Prizes, your first search of the day will grant you an entry to win the November 30th Publishers Clearing House Mega Prize. That's $5,000.00 a week for life along with $1,000,000.00 up front!
My search on PCHSearch&Win taught me that there are a lot of things that can be done with leftover Halloween candy besides tearing my way through it like a werewolf. Look at all the great things I found from searching:
Bake with Leftover Candy: Just when you thought candy couldn't get any better! How does Peanut Butter Pie with Peanut Butter Cups sound? How about Butterfinger Cake? Candy Bar Smoothie, anyone? Perform a search on PCHSearch&Win and you can find lots of great recipes.
Donate Leftover Halloween Candy to Soldiers: Why not create care packages to send to the troops? There are lots of organizations that will be happy to accept your donations to send a Halloween "hello" to a hardworking soldier. You can search at PCHSearch&Win to find great charities.
Make Homemade Trail Mix: Mix up all that leftover candy with some healthful nuts to make your own homemade trail mix for a sweet and healthy snack! (Finally, something to do with those little boxes of raisins!)
Dentist Buy Backs: Many dental practices are getting in on the Halloween fun by "buying" back leftover Halloween candy from patients with coupons, toothbrushes and other special prizes. Sometimes the dental practice will even donate the collected candy to soldiers or military support groups.
Bring it into the office: If none of those options work, there's always one fail-safe: the office! There's no better way to make sweet treats disappear fast then taking your leftover candy to work to share with colleagues! What better way to sweeten up those afternoon meetings?
There you have it folks! Which one do YOU think you'll go searching for first?
Best of luck,
Kate M.

"Good job!"
I enjoyed listening to the book. The witty sarcasm of the author is right up my ally. Though some people may be hesitant about listening to an LSAT or other standardized test prep book, I was able to listen with comprehension by taking notes along with the book. On some of the practice questions I would even pause to write them out in order to actually practice them instead of just listening to them. This is a great introduction to begin studying for the LSAT and the author makes it clear that other practice should be done. I found that the book did well in breaking down each type of question and the tips on what to look for or how to break down questions was very valuable to me. There are generalized tips and knowledge that can be useful to anyone nervous about taking the LSAT or even just beginning to study for it.
"Good supplement to add to your LSAT study arsenal."
If you are studying for the LSAT, you want to get as familiar as possible with the question types and associated strategies as possible. While an audiobook is not the ideal format for LSAT prep, it does give you the ability to get in extra study in the car or while resting, or any time that you can't read a real book or practice answering test questions on paper. You should definitely be using it to supplement your study, not as your primary study material.
This book goes through all of the question types and gives you sample questions. They are sometimes hard to follow when listening, but if you just listen to the logic and approach that the author explains, you will learn, even if you didn't totally grasp all the details of each question.
"A good tool"
For people studying for the LSAT, this is a good tool to use in studying. The author and narrator do a good job of keeping a person's interest in the material, even though the subject matter is dry and difficult to keep a person's interest. I listened to this over a period of several days and will listen again before I take the test, in addition to using other study methods.
"Wow... Amazing"
This audio book is seriously a game-changer. Highly recommend for anyone studying for LSAT with a road trip or time to listen to this. It was like a 6 hour private lesson for only $15. I'm so glad I bought this and can't wait to take the LSAT now.
"Overall good"
This was a great audio addition to any prospective law student's LSAT preparation, but it certainly can't be the only method of study. The logic games section was VERY difficult to follow, but the humorous nature of the book made up for it.
"Not a book that should have recorded"
This is a book that should not have been made into an audio book. The example problems are hard to follow as they are read to you. The book as some skills that will help you in taking the LSAT; however, a lot of the logic questions are useless when read to you. This would be a great book to listen to while at the gym or to fill your time. However, this would not make a good only study option for the LSAT.

The case of a man who police say robbed a Chula Vista Apple store on April 4 was continued after a scheduled preliminary hearing Monday.
Johnny Chenda was arrested for his connection to the smash and grab robbery of a South Bay Apple store in which a third suspect was shot and killed by a security guard.
Chenda was charged with six counts following his arrest, including attempted murder, conspiracy to commit a crime, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary, attempted robbery and felony possession of a firearm.
The preliminary hearing will determine if the evidence from the attempted robbery is enough to require a trial. At the time of the robbery, Apple store employees positively identified the suspects – Chenda, Melissa Ortiz and Alex Somphonh Choulamontry. Choulamontry was shot and killed in the get-a-way car by security guard Jose Jimenez.
Ortiz was not charged with the crime for undisclosed reasons.
Choulamontry was a documented gang member and on active California State parole, said Chula Vista Police Dept. spokesperson Bernard Gonzales in an article published by NBCSanDiego.com in April.
"Choulamontry had convictions for theft, possession of controlled substances, driving under the influence and false identification to a peace officer," Gonzales said.

Lakewood Ranch High sophomore Riley Bohan won three silver medals at the U15 Pan American Championships Aug. 15 through Aug. 19, in Shreveport, La.
The 15-year-old, who won three of the United States' nine total medals, finished second in both the clean and jerk and snatch. She also finished second in the overall weight total.
Bohan began weightlifting eight months ago and quickly developed a passion for the sport. Today, she trains six days week with varying intermediate rest days.
"It was awesome. It meant a lot more than a normal meet. You got to wear the Team USA uniform and represent your country. It was about the country medaling as opposed to medaling as an individual. It's a different mindset.
I was surprised I got three silver medals. I knew based on my numbers that I was going to get a medal, but I was expecting bronze. Silver was a good surprise.
I'm most proud of my total overall weight medal, because the best lifter is going to win the gold in the total weight.
I started weightlifting after I got pushed into the high school weightlifting team. My teammates from gymnastics said I should do it because it would benefit my gymnastics.
I like the sport of weightlifting and the people in it. I wouldn't do it if the people weren't good.
By December, I hope to break the American record for all three (lifts). I tied the snatch record of 62 kilograms.I like the snatch the best because I'm better at it right now. In competitive gymnastics, it's like the balance beam. You're either good at it or you're not. You really have to be aware of where everything is. I'm good at that part."

North Central College's annual tribute to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. will have special meaning for the school this year.
The college is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the civil rights leader's visit to its campus in Naperville. Beginning today, it will host a weeklong series of events including speakers, musical performances and a prayer breakfast.
King spoke at the college in 1960 as part of a series of civil rights speakers organized by the Rev. George St. Angelo, the college chaplain.
Ann Durkin Keating, a history professor at the college, said King had not won major victories in his civil rights efforts at the time of his visit and he was on a campaign to win support from northerners. His visit, she said, is an important part of the college's history.
"It speaks to very much the social activism that has long been a part of North Central College. Chaplain George St. Angelo was instrumental in having students think about the big issues of the day and what they could do," she said.
St. Angelo will be among the participants in two panel discussions taking place in King's memory.
The celebration begins today - King's birthday. Princeton professor Cornel West, author of "Race Matters," will speak at 7 p.m. at Pfeiffer Hall, 310 E. Benton Ave., using the same podium on the same stage as King used during his own visit. Tickets are $10.
On Saturday, Jan. 16, a panel will discuss its own experiences with King at 5 p.m. at Meiley-Swallow Hall, 31. S. Ellsworth St. Panelists include St. Angelo; the Rev. Kwame John Porter, a founder of Operation PUSH; and the Rev. Thomas Reinhart-Marean, who helped organize the college's student trip to Selma, Ala., in March 1965.
For those who would rather commemorate King with music, the Chicago Sinfonietta will perform "The Dream Lives On: Tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr." at 8 p.m. Saturday in Wentz Concert Hall and Fine Arts Center, 171 E. Chicago Ave. Tickets are $40 and $50 for adults, $10 for students.
The celebration picks back up next week with a prayer breakfast at 7 a.m. Monday, Jan. 18, at the Harold and Eva White Activities Center, 325 E. Benton Ave. North Central College alumnus the Rev. Robert Harman will give the keynote speech at the breakfast, which is invite-only. Harman, Class of 1959, marched with King and was arrested with him in 1966. He later penned "From Missions to Mission: The History of Mission of the United Methodist Church, 1968-2000."
At noon on Monday, Harman and St. Angelo both will be among the panelists talking about King's leadership qualities during a discussion at the White Activities Center.
The MLK festivities wrap up with the 22nd annual Gospel Extravaganza at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 23, at Pfeiffer Hall. Both local and national gospel choirs will perform, including the college's Voices of Praise gospel choir and the 80-member Dexter Walker and Zion Movement Chorale. Tickets are $15 for adults, $8 for students and senior citizens.
Martin Luther King Jr. events

Novalogic has announced some key features for Delta Force: Black Hawk Down today. With 16 single-player missions set in a gritty environment and with cinematic cutscenes, the game is aiming to provide a hard-hitting and realistic fighting experience of Somalia circa 1993. Based on the PC game of the same name, Black Hawk Down has been completely redeveloped by British developer Rebellion and will be released this summer.
The single-player game will feature a skill based character development system. In this way, players will unlock bonus skills by successfully completing missions. For example, some of these skills are marksmanship, leadership, and endurance. Players will also unlock different weapons according to their character class. As a special treat for the PS2, the PS2 version will include three unique guns: the H&K G3A3, H&K G36E and the H&K PSG1 Sniper rifle.
For those with headsets, Black Hawk Down will feature the use of voice commands. By calling out orders such as "give ammo" or "cover me" it will be possible to give commands to other soldiers without going through an on-screen menu. For those with headsets and an online connection, players will be able to talk to other people in co-op missions or regular multiplayer games.
Right now, the details about the multiplayer are sparse, but Novalogic is claiming that the game will support up to 32 players online in one game. Big words indeed and we'd like to see that in action for ourselves, but it should be good news for online shooting fans who want an alternative.
Keep checking back for more info about Black Hawk Down and be sure to check out the new screens of the game in action.

Discovering the Baofeng Dual-Band Ham Radio
For the past 2 years I have been watching the Baofeng Dual Band Ham radio on Amazon. I checked back every few months to look at the price and the growing list of customer reviews. As time went on, the list of positive reviews grew.
When I first found the radio on Amazon, the price was ~$80. That was about 2 years ago. Then, last year, the price dropped to around $49. This last month, May 2013, the price dropped to $35 and that was the kicker for me.
At $35, this radio was now the price of a single Motorola FRS radio. Finally, the radio was becoming very, very intriguing. Most of the reviews on Amazon were positive. For $35, there is not much to lose in just trying it out. With that in mind, I ordered it.
Versions the radio
I ended up ordering the UV5RA. It turns out that there are several versions of the radio available including the UV5R, UV5R+, UV5RA, UV5RA Plus and UV5RAX+. From the research I have done, the various models are pretty much the same from a functionality perspective. What does appear different, and is not very clear from the sellers on Amazon, is that the model numbers do refer to slight variations or revisions of the radio. It also appears that the firmware version can be different, even if you order the same model number.
- UV5RA Plus
Unpacking the radio
I received the radio in the standard 2 days with Amazon Prime. It came packaged in a nice box with good internal protection for the radio and accessories.
Upon opening the box, I learned that the radio was actually the UV5RAX+. Hmmm… that is different, but not sure how… oh well.
What's in the box
- Radio
- Antenna
- Ear/Mic piece
- Battery
- Lanyard
- Charger base
- Charger wall-wart adapter
- Small instruction manual
Initial thoughts on the radio
After pulling the radio and accessories out of the box, I was pretty amazed. The radio feels very well built and solid. It is small. Very small. In short, I love the form factor. After charging the battery, I programmed up one of the local repeaters and discovered that the radio worked just fine. The receive section has a surprising low noise floor and the transmitter works great. Wow. All this for $35…
I have only had the radio for a few days and will be using it more over the coming weeks. I'll update more on the radio as I gain more experience with it. In the meantime, get the radio. It is a great value for the money.
Available accessories
There are a lot of accessories for the Baofeng radios at excellent prices. Here are my favorites:
USB Programming Cable
The USB programming cable is MUST. This is the only way to program alpha numeric names into the radio. It comes with software, but I recommend the open source CHIRP software. CHIRP supports many brands and models of radios and allows you to easily copy settings from one radio to another.
CHIRP can be downloaded from http://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Home. It is excellent software and supports Baofeng, Wouxon, Yeasu, Alinco, Icom, Kenwood, TYT and many other brands of radios. Since CHIRP is open source software, it is free. If you are a programmer, you can even contribute bug fixes to the codebase. This is a great way to contribute to the community.
Handheld Speaker / Microphone
Many folks who have owned a walkie talkie, FRS radio or handheld two-way business band radio will tell you that a handheld speaker/mic is a must have accessory for a radio. The speaker/mic allows you to mount the radio OUT OF THE WAY in your backpack, fannypack, belt clip or tactical vest.
Using a speaker/mic also protects the radio from accidental drops since you are only using the mic and not unclipping and reclipping the radio. You can also clip the mic to your shoulder strap or shirt for convenience. It's a pretty nice accessory and while not fully necessary, it does make the radio a lot more usable.
The radio does include an earpiece speaker/microphone, but I have found that embedding a 2-way speaker in the ear can be irritating while working.
Battery Eliminator (Car adapter)
A battery eliminator / car adapter is a great idea, especially if you are spending a lot of time in the car. It plugs into the radio in place of the battery.
High performance antenna
Some reviewers say that the included antenna is not that good. They are probably right, but I have not yet verified their claim. In any case, it is pretty typical in my experience that the antenna included with any handheld ham radio is usually not that great. Upgrading the stock antenna to a higher performance antenna can make a HUGE difference in operating distance and clarity.
With the stock antenna, I have been able to barely access a mountain-top repeater from 30 miles away. There is a lot of noise with the stock antenna and the signal is not that great. With the upgraded antenna, the repeater comes in loud and clear.

It turns out the BART strike is impacting a neighborhood in Oakland in all the wrong ways.
Brenda Overton says she has had it with the chartered buses that pull up next to her home right outside the West Oakland BART station every morning at 4:30 a.m.
Overton says the buses' loud engines wake up her and her family and the rest of the neighbors who live directly across the street.
"I just came from a heart attack, my mother-in-law is up in age, my neighbor is almost 90," Overton said. "This is too much…If you're loading and unloading, that's one thing, but if you're sitting idle making all this noise, I don't understand that."
Overton said she wishes the buses would pull into the BART station for pick-up. NBC Bay Area asked a bus driver why they don't, and he said they were told not to.

It's been four decades since Information showed at the Museum of Modern Art—and about time that Jerry Ferguson's paintings were shown once again in New York City.
NSCAD grad Luke Murphy is making that happen. He's organizing the exhibition, Gerald Ferguson. Work., which will run at Canada in New York City from January 7 to February 12. The exhibition will comprise 15 large-scale key works from the late artist's body of work, including three early paintings from the late 1960s and eight later "frottages," which were made by rolling paint over various collections of objects: clothesline, 50-feet of tangled rope, drain covers and door mats.
A student of Ferguson's who attended NSCAD in the 1980s, Luke Murphy has been based in New York City since graduating in 1988. He believes the current generation of artists will be interested in viewing Ferguson's paintings and the struggle they innately express.
"Their work is almost an echo of the process-based work that Jerry was doing," says Luke in a phone interview.
"You look at an exhibition like Information and Jerry was really the odd man out because he was a painter when painting was considered dead. You see him struggling with issues, such as the dematerialization of the object, and it's so very interesting."
The influential exhibition Information marks a crucial moment for conceptual art and included work by David Askevold, John Baldessari and Sol DeWitt—all artists with strong associations with NSCAD, then a conceptual art hothouse even though it was so far off the beaten track.
Jerry Ferguson died in 2008. He came to teach at NSCAD in 1968, was instrumental in the founding of the Master of Fine Arts program in 1973, and served as chair of the Divisions of Studio and Graduate Studies during his tenure. He was a Director of the Lithography Workshop and a founding member of the NSCAD Press serving on the editorial board until his retirement in 2005. Recipient of the 1995 Canada Council for the Arts Molson Prize, he was a noted expert and collector of folk art and historical Canadian painting.
As a teacher and an artist, he contributed greatly to the international reputation acquired by the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in the 1970s. Named Professor Emeritus in 2008, he was beloved by his students and inspired generations of artists.
A painter and digital artist, Luke sees something else besides the rigor and obsession with process in Ferguson's frottages. "I always find when I look at these pieces that there is a deep psychology behind them, a kind of loneliness, the pathos of the object."
He hopes audiences are able to discover this work anew. "Come take a look and let's talk about them," he says.
Gerald Ferguson. Work. opens January 7 at Canada, 44 Chrystie St. (between Hester & Canal), New York. For more info, see canadanewyork.com.

This time, he finished first.
Alone in front throughout, Yang shot a final round of 2-under 68 Sunday to finish one shot ahead of John Rollins and pick up his first PGA Tour victory.
The Korean took command with three straight birdies on the front side and wouldnt fold, picking up a two-year exemption and a check for $1,008,000. With the win, he qualified for next weeks CA Championship at Doral, plus earned an invitation to next months Masters.
He was there until the very end this time, pumping his fist in the air when his 50-footer for birdie nestled to a stop a foot away from the cup, giving him a tap-in for victory.
For a guy whose claim to fame was beating Tiger Woods at the 2006 HSBC Champions in Shanghai, it was a moment to savor.
Rollins made birdie at the par-5 18th to get within two shots of Yang, who was one hole behind and in a greenside bunker at the par-3 17th. And when Yangs 10-footer for par tailed right and stopped short, the lead ' four shots earlier in the day ' was down to one.
He cringed when his third shot sailed off target at the finishing hole, but coolly two-putted for the win.
Rollins (67) was alone in second and he, like Yang, qualified for the CA Championship by moving into the top 10 in the FedEx Cup standings. Ben Crane (68) was third after finishing 6 under and Jeff Klauk (71, with 17 pars and one bogey) was alone in fourth, another shot back.
There were 25 players who started the final round within six shots of Yangs lead, and some made early charges.
Robert Allenby started with two birdies in his first three holes and eventually got to 7 under, but never got going on the back side and finished 4 under, tied for fifth with Will MacKenzie (70), Fredrik Jacobson (70) and Scott Piercy (65).
Mark Calcavecchia was seeking an oddity: Winning the Honda for the third time, on what could be described as an every-11-year plan. He won the event in 1987 and 1998.
But the string wouldnt continue in 2009.
Just like last year, when he was in contention during the Hondas final round before chipping onto a waterside pile of rocks ' and then tossing his ball into the drink ' at the 15th, Calcavecchias chances were all wet again.
This time, his undoing came at the 11th, when he hit into a greenside hazard. He rolled up his right pant leg, hacked the ball out of some muck and salvaged a bogey, but got no closer and shot 73, capped by another tee ball in the water at the 17th.
And Rory McIlroy ' still bidding to become the youngest winner in PGA Tour history ' worked his way up the leaderboard as well, before consecutive bogeys to end his round left him tied for 13th.
Im pretty disappointed the way I finished, McIlroy said. I got myself into a great position this afternoon and just let it slip.
With that, the 19-year-old turned his attention quickly to Doral. If he wins there, hell top Johnny McDermott as the youngest tour winner ever; McDermott set the mark by winning the 1911 U.S. Open.
If I can just keep playing the way I have been, maybe just try and give myself a few more opportunities and try and limit my bogeys, Ill hopefully have another good one next week, McIlroy said.
Davis Love III also was part of the nine-way tie for 13th, which turned out to be significant. Love should barely be No. 50 in the world rankings on Monday, which would be good enough to get him into Doral. If he stays in the top 50 through Bay Hill, hed be back at Augusta National as well.
Erik Comptons inspiring week ended with a 72, finishing tied for 44th at 3 over. The two-time heart transplant recipient said he struck the ball but simply couldnt score, three-putting from 20 feet at the first, missing a tap-in at 15, and not making anything longer than 8 feet all day.
He will play next week on a sponsors exemption in Puerto Rico, take a week off, then finish the month at Bay Hill.
And while walking the 72 holes left him a bit tired ' he is, after all, nine months removed from getting his third heart ' Compton refused to make excuses.
Im just stupid to think that I can play well enough to win out here, Compton said. I should have done better this week. I played better than what I got out of my game. So thats the frustrating part. My health is fine.
Safe to say, Yang was feeling better than Compton.

Sony LifeStyle PC (P Series) Review
By January 26, 2009reviewed
Be sure to check out our Image Gallery.
Sony makes a few points loud and clear with its shiny new LifeStyle PC. First, it's not a netbook (we'll take that with a grain of salt, given its ultra-small form factor, lack of an optical drive, and Intel Atom processor). Second, it's made for women—we'll see about that. Nonetheless, we were excited to get our hands on the most talked-about notebook at CES 2009 and even more thrilled to be able to review it from a woman's perspective.
Turning heads, taking names
Our garnet red LifeStyle PC came in a matching red case, with a matching red accessory bag that contained a matching red mouse—more matching than is fashionable, some might argue. (The system also comes in black, white, and green, but always looks a little like a makeup compact.) Without a doubt, it turned heads: We used it on the bus and could feel other eyes glancing our way; we used it at jury duty, and elicited questions like "Is that a notebook?" Whenever we handed around the 1.4-pound mini notebook, we got the general response of "whoa."
This non-netbook netbook has a bright and gorgeous 8-inch screen, with a 16-to-9 display running 1,600x768 resolution. Though that resolution makes text tiny, you really can't change it—the two other options have a different aspect ratio—although you can zoom in with a function-key combination while browsing the Web or using other applications that allow for zooming, and we found ourselves doing this often.
Because the LifeStyle PC doesn't have an optical drive (there's no room for one), we couldn't perform our usual DVD testing; instead, we used the Wi-Fi connection to stream our favorite episodes of ER and Grey's Anatomy (which we think is the most likely scenario). Unfortunately, the system's processor just couldn't keep up: The image jerked along constantly, never quite in sync with the audio and even crashing the Web browser once. Surprisingly, watching CNN.com live was better; we saw less stuttering in full-screen mode and none at all in the standard small-screen mode. The audio was fine—the volume and clarity aren't superb, but the LifeStyle PC is louder than some notebooks we've tested. If you're planning to listen to music, however, we recommend using headphones.
Around the display, the bezel is narrow on the top (a quarter of an inch) and bottom (three-fourths of an inch) but wide (about 1.25 inches) on the sides. Because of this, Sony cleverly put the VGA Motion Eye Webcam off to the right. We found this a little annoying; we had to turn the notebook slightly to center ourselves in the frame while chatting with a friend. Images from the Webcam were generally clear, though they showed some motion blur and diminished quality in dimly lit or backlit environments.
Comfort and other food for thought
The unusual form factor allows for a wide keyboard, though we can't say it's comfortable—even for women with small hands. We do like the Chiclet-style keys, which help reduce typos and are especially nice for those with long fingernails (a nod toward the female target market). Though we like how wide the system is, it's pretty tight vertically.
Sony offers a pointing stick instead of a touch pad, and we found it particularly sensitive to accidental taps. You can turn the tap function off, but you can't adjust its sensitivity. At the base of the keyboard you'll find two mouse buttons, which are extremely narrow and somewhat stiff but get the job done. Between those buttons is an additional button you can use for scrolling, but we never really got used to it.
It can do what?
To the right of those buttons are two others. One tiles two windows side by side; the other doubles as a programmable application-launch button and the Instant On button for accessing photos, videos, and the Internet without booting into Vista (which takes a painstaking 1 minute and 17 seconds).
Overall, we like the concept of Instant On, but connecting to a Wi-Fi network is tedious (it makes you go through all sorts of unnecessary settings), and you can't connect via the LifeStyle PC's built-in mobile broadband. Furthermore, you have to select what type of security you have (WEP, WPA, etc.), and if you answer incorrectly, you have to start the whole process over again. We connected to the Computer Shopper network on the third attempt, but it should have been easier. Once connected we were able to browse the Web in Firefox. In the Instant On mode, you can't open multiple applications at once; you have to close one program to access another, but we don't mind this so much, since it's only meant to be used in quick situations. Also, we noticed that the included wireless mouse did not work in Instant On mode.
In a pinch, you can use the LifeStyle PC as a GPS unit, but the screen's high resolution makes it unsafe for drivers. We appreciated the built-in GPS radio, however, combined with Microsoft Streets & Trips. So long as you have a passenger to run it while you drive, it could be a handy tool. In our tests, we had trouble both turning on the GPS radio and keeping it on over the course of a day. When we tried turning it on using the SmartWi Connection Utility on a bus in New Jersey, the notebook acted as though no radio were installed. Once we got to New York City, however, the radio had turned on, but later in the day, after a few reboots of the system, the radio was off again, and the option to turn it back on was grayed out. (We asked Sony about this issue, and a company spokesperson told us they had not seen this happen and suggested reloading the OS.)
Ports are limited to one USB port on either side, a headphone jack, and two memory card slots (SD and HG Duo). VGA and Ethernet ports are available via an included external dongle. Our configuration also came with noise-canceling earbuds.
Thanks, but no thanks
Although we appreciate Sony's attempt to design a notebook for the fairer sex, we do wonder which man decided that women liked their notebooks underpowered. Our $1,499 LifeStyle PC came with a 1.33GHz Intel Atom Z520 processor (which is even slower than the typical 1.6GHz Atom N270), 2GB of RAM, a 128GB solid-state drive, and the pokey Vista Home Premium. Not surprisingly, our review unit didn't wow us with its performance.
On our Windows Media Encoder test, the LifeStyle PC took 47 minutes and 16 seconds to encode our video file, which is nearly double what we'd expect from a netbook and almost seven times longer than your typical ultraportable. It performed better on our iTunes test, however, converting 11 files in 27 minutes and 17 seconds—not blazing by any stretch, but reasonable for a netbook. While the Intel GMA 500 GPU didn't return impressive results on Futuremark's 3DMark06 test, we were pleased to get results at all; many netbooks can't complete this test for a variety of reasons. The LifeStyle PC scored 88 at its native resolution, which is just behind the HP Mini 1000's score of 91 but well below the Gigabyte M912 and Acer Aspire One, both of which surpassed 120.
Battery life with the standard battery was pretty disappointing—just 1 hour and 37 minutes—but with Sony's $129 extended battery, we saw a much more reasonable 4 hours and 33 minutes while we streamed video. The extended battery adds a little height and weight to the notebook, but we highly recommend it, as it makes the system that much more mobile.
Strong enough for a man, but...
Sony says the LifeStyle PC is made for women, but what do women want? Last we checked, they wanted a lightweight, affordable, fast, long-lasting notebook that's easy to type on and that can connect anywhere. And the housewives of Orange County might appreciate the available color choices. Sony manages to hit only four of those seven requirements, but it throws in plenty of extras. This is the only netbook on the market with built-in mobile broadband, the only one with its wide makeup-case form factor, and the only one that grabs some serious male attention when you pull it out of your purse.

Yesterday U.S. Judge Lucy Koh rejected a request from Samsung to lift a ban on the U.S. sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Apple and Samsung are battling each other in the court system across 10 countries over patents. The ban was imposed on Samsung around June 26th. Koh also hit a pre-trial ban on sales of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone this past Friday.
Apple sued Samsung last year and accused them of "slavishly" copying the iPhone/iPad. Samsung countersued and denied the claim.
The tablets and smartphones that have been affected will not have a major impact on Samsung's earnings because they have launched upgraded models since then.
"Samsung is disappointed with the court's decision that denied our motion to stay. We believe today's ruling will ultimately reduce the availability of superior technological features to consumers in the United States," said Samsung in a statement.
The case was filed under the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, is Apple Inc v. Samsung Electronics Co Ltd et al, 11-1846.

The Market Impact of Trends and Sequences in Performance: New Evidence
Bloomfield and Hales (2002) find strong evidence that experimental market subjects are influenced by trends and patterns in a manner supportive of the shifting regimes model of Barberis, Shleifer, and Vishny (1998) . We subject the model to further empirical scrutiny using the football wagering market as our price laboratory. Sports betting markets have several advantages over traditional capital markets as an empirical setting, and commonalities with traditional markets allow for useful insights. We find scant evidence that investors behave in accordance with the model. Copyright 2005 by The American Finance Association.

Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), those who wanted coverage to begin by January 1, 2014 had to sign up by December 23, 2013. The deadline for signing up for health insurance and avoiding a tax penalty, however, is March 31, 2014. Social scientists and those who have studied similar government programs with a lengthy sign-up period say many people naturally procrastinate until a deadline looms. Washington Post economics reporter Ezra Klein notes that the ACA is similar to the Massachusetts health reforms and Medicare Part D—and that this experience shows that enrollment "begins as a trickle and spikes at the end." Medicare Part D, which provides prescription drug coverage, began as a polarizing national law and also had a terrible rollout, he says. But today, more than 90% of seniors say they are happy with the program and consider it a success.
Optimists note that the number of people who chose insurance policies run by the federal government or the states, more than doubled between November and October. Skeptics, however, say those combined enrollment figures are still well below the administration's March 2014 target of 7 million new enrollees. And they add that the law's poor rollout has hurt its standing among millennials, who are generally healthy. Income from the premiums of young enrollees is essential to offset the cost of insuring more expensive, older adults. Despite the current enrollment numbers, interest in the ACA appears to be growing rapidly. "The website, HealthCare.gov and phone center (1-800-318-2596) are fielding a large number of inquiries, which could be a positive indicator for future enrollment growth," David Howard, a Professor of Health Policy at Emory University in Atlanta, told MedPage Today. According to the publication's December 11 article, nearly two million more consumers have applied for and been told they are eligible for a plan.

Wine expert Gary Vaynerchuk has a thing for wacky self-promotions, having done everything from appearing on TVs in gas stations to plastering his book jacket on billboards along New Jersey highways. Now, he's embarking on a 24-hour tour to airports in six different cities to promote his new book, Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion. The Hudson Hustle, as Vaynerchuk calls it, entails visits to six Hudson News airport stores today and tomorrow, at La Guardia, O'Hare, Dallas Fort Worth, Denver, LAX, and Newark.
Vaynerchuk's publisher, Harper Studio, worked with Hudson News to pick airport stores that receive the most foot traffic and are best placed in relation to security. At each store, Vaynerchuk will give a brief q&a while signing books before leaving to board the next plane. The tour began at 6:30 this morning at La Guardia, where Vaynerchuk signed books at Hudson Booksellers in the central terminal. He then flew to Chicago, where he visited the Hudson News at O'Hare's Terminal 3 from 9:45 to 10:30 a.m. This afternoon he will hit Dallas Fort Worth and two stores at Denver International Airport, and will end with an 8:30 to 9:15 p.m. signing at the Hudson News in LAX's Terminal 7. Tomorrow morning, Vaynerchuk will be at two stores at Newark International Airport, and by 7:30 a.m. tomorrow, the tour will be over. Some of the stores are situated before security and are therefore accessible to the general public, while others are postsecurity and accessible only to ticketed travelers. The tour is being streamed live at ustream.tv/garyvee.
Vaynerchuk's associate, Matt Sitomer, is accompanying Vaynerchuk on the tour. Harper Studio senior v-p and associate publisher Debbie Stier said Vaynerchuk will "wing it" in case of flight delays and cancellations. She called Crush It! "the perfect airport book," since it provides "a flight's worth of reading."
