This paper gathers evidence on public sector pension plans regarding the type of pension promise and quantifies the future tax burden related to these pension promises. The reported liabilities are recalculated using both a fair value approach (local market discount rates) and a common, fixed discount rate across all countries which reflects projected growth in national income.
This paper proposes a framework to help policymakers think about how best develop a national strategy to hedge against the massive economic burden of extreme events that could hit their country tomorrow, focusing specifically on the role that risk transfer mechanisms alternative to traditional insurance can play.

Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD) is characterized by involuntary closure of the vocal cords while inhaling. Children and adolescents with VCD may experience multiple symptoms, including difficulty breathing, coughing, wheezing, neck tightness, and voice changes. There is limited information on optimal management of VCD. In our proposed study, we will use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to change how patients respond to their VCD symptoms. Measurements of airflow during breathing as well as symptom frequency and intensity will be examined prior to and following a series of four therapy sessions with a clinical psychologist that are focused on teaching patients strategies to decrease symptom reactivity.

Hello DevExpress team,
we need a custom RichEdit control extension for our solution and we have a small problem with it. Please see solution attached, it is built on base of your samples and describes our question. We use property RichEditUserControl.RtfText (RichEditUserControl.cs line 20) as control binding property (RichEditPropertyEditor.cs line 14). I detected, that this property by new object is always initialized with an empty string, but not with null (just put a breakpoint in its setter and control the value). I think, it's not quite correct. In our real soultion we have a problem, because the corresponding business object property is set to null and the editor value is String.Empty, so they are not equals and the business object is marked as modified... Could you please take a look on it?
Thank you.
Best regards, Kim Schmidt
Hello Kim,
I am forwarding this ticket to our XAF team so that they can take a look at it. As for a standalone RichEditControl, its RtfText property isn't initialized with an empty string. This property contains RTF that describes default formatting. The Text property is an empty string, but we consider this behavior correct.
Hello Kim,
I have researched this behavior and found that it is not specific to the RichEditControl. Place a System.Windows.Forms.TextBox control to a standard form, set a breakpoint to its Text property, and you will see that this property is also set to an empty string when the control's data bindings are initialized.
You have mentioned that there is an issue with the object's modified state when the rich editor is used. It occurs because of specifics of the RTF format - an empty string can be represented by a non-empty RTF text that stores the default formatting settings. To avoid the object's modification in this case, you can set the Document.Text property to the default RtfText value initially, when the object is created. Alternatively, modify the RichEditUserControl.RtfText property so that it returns the null value or an empty string when the RichEditControl.RtfText property returns the default value.
Hello Anatol,
thank you for explanation.
> Alternatively, modify the RichEditUserControl.RtfText property so that it returns the null value or an empty string when the
> RichEditControl.RtfText property returns the default value.
This is exactly my problem. I have to differentiate between empty string and null value. Do i have any chance to find out from RichEditUserControl what is the value of the corresponding business object property?
Thank you.
Best regards, Kim Schmidt.
Hallo Anatol,
another one thing regarding to this problem. With solution above, please open DetailView with new one object and click "Validata" action. You'll get validation error, as expected. Now click somewhere on the RTF document and click "Validate" again - validation succeeded. My oppinion - it's not quite correct, beuase, there is no any real content in the "_Text" property, it's only RTF-stuff. We need to validate the real text in our solution. Do you have any suggestions, how can we do it?
Thank you and have a nice weekend.
Best regards, Kim Schmidt
You can obtain the business object to which your control is bound via its DataBindings collection. For example:
Hope this will help.[C#]
object obj = richEditControl.DataBindings["RtfText"].DataSource;
>> We need to validate the real text in our solution.
The RuleRequiredField rule cannot work with the RTF text. As I mentioned, an empty value can be represented by a non-empty string in the RTF format. The rule should take this into account. It appears that in your case, it is better to implement a custom rule. Alternatively, create separate properties for the RTF and plain texts, and perform operations specific to the plain text with the plain text property.
Hello Anatol,
thank you very much for your assistance. Now it works almost fine, just one question (hope, the last one for this subject) - if the validation fails, the rich-text field is not highlighted (the red sign does not appear). You can check is also with solution above. I've checked it both with default rich text editor and with our extension - the highlight does not appear in both cases. Also, i've checked it with "RuleRequiredField" and "RuleFromBoolProperty with UsedProperties = MyRtfField" - the same problem. Do i something wrong or is it an issue?
Thank you.
Best regards, Kim Schmidt.
By default, the error icon appears only for controls inherited from the BaseEdit class. RichEditControl cannot display the error icon itself. To display this icon, you can use the ErrorProvider component, as shown in the Validation in richedit ticket. Add this component to your user control, then override the property editor's ErrorIcon and ErrorMessage properties and utilize the ErrorProvider in their setters. Let me know if you have any difficulties with this.

What: Alley Cat Art Festival, presented by St. Madeleine Sophie's Center
When: 5 to 10 p.m. Friday
Where: Downtown El Cajon on Main Street and Arts Alley.
Admission: General admission is free; tickets for a wine tasting are $20 in advance or with a chamber or rotary member I.D., $25 at the door.
A self-taught guitarist, David Scott Gordon describes himself as a "strong melody guy" whose musical influences include The Doobie Brothers, Eagles, America, and Dan Fogelberg. His lyrics are equally strong, telling the tale of a decades-long journey from alcohol abuse and loss to sobriety and creativity.
When Gordon takes the stage Friday at the annual Alley Cat Art Fest in downtown El Cajon, he will share that journey by performing songs from his debut album, "Believin' in Love." The public concert, his first, will fulfill a dream he would not have thought possible a few years ago.
"I've had a passion for music my entire life, but it was something that eluded me," said Gordon, 40, of El Cajon. "Growing up, I was conditioned to think that there was no way I could do my music.
"It was that old school ideology that you are not supposed to like your work."
Born in Washington, D.C., and raised in Alexandria, Va., Gordon said he was a shy, sensitive child who had difficulty making friends. He took his first alcoholic drink in seventh grade and felt instantly transformed.
"It was completely exhilarating," he said. "The first time I drank, everything clicked.
"I felt confident. I felt perfect. All the issues I had in terms of insecurities and not feeling worthy and general fear of life dissolved."
It was, Gordon said, a "typical addiction" that "started off fairly wonderful," but became a burdensome disease over time. His 20s and early 30s were spent in and out of hospital emergency rooms, rehab centers and psychiatric wards.
Then, in 2003, homeless and a late-stage alcoholic, Gordon broke down. The self-proclaimed atheist pledged that if he were given a sign that God existed, he would stop drinking and become God's instrument.
"There was no glorious scene," Gordon said. "I slept the best I had slept in probably a year. When I woke up, I didn't feel like I was o ut of the woods yet, but I knew I was done drinking."
Five years ago, after earning a master's degree in rehabilitation counseling from San Diego State University, Gordon got a job as a case manager at St. Madeleine Sophie's Center in El Cajon. At the day-training facility, he helps place adults with developmental disabilities in work programs throughout the area.
Gordon says writing songs comes easily now. And he looks forward to performing Friday for an audience of strangers as well as his father, who is flying in from Virginia for the concert.
"It's an adventure," he said of sobriety. "It's totally living life and kind of fearlessly.
"Some days are better than others. But I love it."Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Many people have a hard time keeping their laptops cool. This can be a difficult task if you don't want to carry around a large cooling device. That is until now, ThemaPAK recently came out with their own laptop cooler, however this one has no fans, and doesn't use any electricity.
- Comfortable, lightweight and flexible for on-the-go performance
- Organic technology uses no power so it extends battery life
- Listen to the noise-free operation of the innovative fan-less laptop cooler
- Outperforms competitors with an impressive 9 degrees of uniform heat reduction
This laptop cooler is very small and lightweight. It is also flexible enough that it could easily be rolled up or stuffed into a small bag (possibly your laptop bag).
The key feature of this laptop cooler is that it is completely green, and I am not talking about the color, this cooler does not use an ounce of power. This is not only good for the environment, but it is also good for the battery life of the laptop (some coolers plug into the laptop for power).
Because it doesn't use any power it also doesn't have any fans. This means it will be great for quiet environments like an office.
ThermaPAK makes the claim that the HeatShift laptop cooler provides up to 9 degrees of uniform heat reduction. We will see in the tests if it lives up to its claim.
The design for the HeatShift is very simple. The cooler is simply a square mat that you place your laptop on. Inside the mat are a bunch of crystals that melt when heated. These crystals are what draw the heat away from the laptop. The nice things about the crystals is that they reform when the heat is taken away so that it can be used over and over.
The mat comes in three sizes (13″, 15″ and 17″) and several colors.
ThermaPak sent me a 15″ laptop cooler and I wanted to find out how well it worked. The test is fairly simple, put my 13″ Toshiba laptop on the mat and get the CPU really hot. I used a program called prime95 to get the CPU really hot and I used SpeedFan to measure the temperatures. After a 30 minutes SpeedFan reported the temperature of the CPU at 93°C. This didn't seem as cool as I thought it should be, so I let the laptop sit for a while and I ran prime95 again, but this time I didn't use the HeatShift cooler. After another 30 minutes I checked the heat and it was at 88°C. At this point I thought it was interesting that the laptop was cooler without the pad. So what could be wrong? Well the first thing I thought about was that my laptop is only 13″ and I had a 15″ mat. Another possibility is that somehow the mat is restricting the airflow for the CPU fan.
Toshiba temp with heatshift
Toshiba temp without heatshift
So I tried the whole process again, but this time with a much larger laptop. I happen to have an 18″ ASUS N90 so I put the cooler under that and again ran prime95. Since the laptop was so much bigger than the pad I strategically put it under the CPU so that it would be in contact with the hottest part of the laptop. This time SpeedFan registered the heat at 76°C. This seemed a lot better, but in order to know just how much better I had to run the same test without the cooling pad. So after letting the laptop cool down I ran prime95 again without the pad. After another 30 minutes I checked SpeedFan and it said 70°C.
N90Sv temp with heatshift
N90Sv temp without heatshift
So the problem must have something to do with how the airflow gets blocked. The HeaShift pad has channels that are suppose to improve airflow, but when the crystals melt the pad flattens and those channels loose their effectiveness. I imagine that the HeaShift pad would work really well with laptops that don't have fans.
Each time I tested the mat I felt the crystals to see if they had melted, sure enough in all the hot spots the pad was a lot softer. After removing the pad it took about 30 minutes or so for the crystals hardened back up.
On a more positive note, the HeatShift pad did a great job protecting my legs from the burning heat from the laptops. No matter how hot the laptops got I never felt it while the HeatShift pad was on my lap.
So I think this pad is a really great idea. There is a lot of potential for heat dissipation technology like this. Even though it didn't work very well in my tests I recognize that my laptops are probably not the ideal test subjects. If you have a laptop that does not have fans, (or it doesn't draw in heat from the bottom) then this would be ideal for you. With prices ranging from $27 to $34 this is not going to hurt your wallet. If your laptop does have a fan that draws in heat from the bottom then we hare going to have to wait for ThermaPAK to address this problem.

STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI)-We live in a busy world with many demands so it can be hard to slow down. One fair in Starkville is teaching children and adults to do just that.
In today's fast pace world it can be hard to find a simpler place to go without spending lots of money. And for Starkville residents there is a place in THEIR OWN backyard known as the Mississippi Modern Homestead Fair.
The idea for the fair was created after Alison Buehler and her husband wanted to know more about their food.
"We just realized as parents that we knew very little about where our food came from and how it's made and we really didn't have very many skills. So we just became interested in it as a hobby and it grew from there," says Alison Buehler.
Here at the Homestead fair many got the chance to see new things. Even for Mccarty Overby who held her first chicken.
"What was your favorite chicken?" The White chicken. "the White Chicken. Why was it your favorite?" Because it was really pretty," says McCarty Overby.
And that was the same chicken Kenny Smith entered into a contest.
"We entered our chickens in the prettiest chicken contest. We just thought it would be fun," says Kenny Smith.
Children weren't the only ones to experience new things. Barry Critz had a chance to hammer away at a new hobby.
"I've always been interested in Blacksmithing and so just watching the blacksmithing demonstration they shove a hammer in your hand and let you hammer on some hot metal," says Barry Critz.
Critz says this fair is way to remind children and adults about the simple living.
"I guess a lot of people don't necessarily get exposed to some of the live stock and gardening opportunities so I think it's a good educational experience particularly for children that maybe didn't grow up in a rural atmosphere," says Critz.
So no matter if you are an adult or a child chances are when you come to the Homestead fair…you will always learn something new.

Best Babble
Not Loria's fault: In regard to Jeffrey Loria being named Best Chutzpah in your "Best of Miami" issue (June 11): The thing is that Loria didn't sell the stadium to the taxpayers; he sold it to the corrupt commissioners who time and again refused to give everyone in the county a voice by letting us vote on the stadium.
Abel Iraola
Jeffrey Loria
You got it wrong: By naming BASIC (Bicycle Activists for a Safe, Integrated City) Best Gadfly, you have given Critical Mass Miami a bad rap. I attend meetings and go on rides with Critical Mass. I help the group with promotion, activism, outreach, and charity events. They really do outreach — such as teaching bicycle safety on the potentially dangerous streets of Miami — not just paint lines on the streets where people open their car doors.

Miami Beach
Diner paranoia: Jimmy's Eastside Diner is the best diner? This place sounds like that warm smile will turn upside down when a patron walks in without a beard and a dirty, hole-riddled shirt. Thanks, but no thanks. I think I'll go somewhere that doesn't scold me for not dedicating myself to it, for not knowing every detail of its history and regulars. I want an occasional meal that doesn't clog my arteries. I'll take advantage of living in a big city and avoid developing an anxiety-based personality disorder that's provoked by moments falling just a little short of too predictable.
Dear old mom too: Dangerflow, which you named Best Caribbean Band, not only has a "killer rhythm section," but also is a group of talented and hard-working young men. The founder/songwriter/lead singer, Angel Ocean, is an FIU graduate who's studying for his master's degree in international business administration and management. He works full-time, attends FIU, supports a family, writes music, rehearses, and spends time with his ill father. He deserves all the recognition and praise any dedicated and talented person can receive. Congratulations to the members of Dangerflow!
Pembroke Pines
Nowhere left: I admit the White Room has brought some good music to the Miami scene. But I disagree that it's the best venue for live music. First of all, the club is tiny. When it gets packed, you can hardly move or breathe. Plus, half the club has no roof. So, if it rains, you have to fight to stay in the covered area and, chances are, you will get soaked. Also, the acoustics are horrible. The Polish American Club, for example, is a much better place to hear live music because, at least, it fits more people. But overall, few — if any — good live music venues remain in Miami.
Cuba Haters
The editor is one: I felt insulted by Chuck Strouse's June 4 article, "Spies in the Magic City," in which he degrades Cuban exiles. As a Cuban and a member of the exile community, I feel disgusted that he is a citizen of this country; he cares so little for it and defends the rights of these spies. If he is trying to appeal to our emotions by making us feel sorry for their spouses, it's not working. I am happy the spies were sentenced and that they will probably never see the light of day. I feel ashamed and disturbed that there are still people out there who serve as tools for that pathetic regime, which has only brought misery and detriment to a once-prosperous country.
José Dubrocq
Miami Beach
Gloria es otra: Gloria La Riva seems to have taken the Cuban Five issue personally. She might be genuinely concerned... all the way from California! But if she had a family member who was jailed in Cuba's infamous prisons or executed for simply not agreeing with the Castro brothers, she might have a different opinion.
Or perhaps, just like all of the "Latin American leaders" described in the article, she might have a financial interest and very little concern for the pain and suffering those two gangsters, not Communists, have caused so many Cubans for more than 50 years!
I would like to extend Gloria an invitation to personally enjoy Cuba's phenomenal political system. Repression can do wonders in changing a mind.

I-39 Logistics Corridor Assoc. retains Block Associates
CHICAGOThe fledgling I-39 Logistics Corridor Association has retained Lake Bluff, Ill.-based Block Associates, Inc., to market the significant logistics and distribution assets of this burgeoning regional economic development corridor, announced Roger G. Hopkins, executive director of the DeKalb-based association. Block Associates, headed by Nikki Block, president, is a full-service marketing firm, exclusively focused on the commercial real estate industry. The agency will assist the association in capturing new regional investment by developing a new identity program, building awareness for the corridor and its communities, and producing marketing materials, special events and a new Web site.
The corridor spans a 10,000-square-mile area encompassing two states and 14 counties. It is 165 miles from Janesville, Wis., on the north to Bloomington, Ill., on the south and 65 miles from Sycamore, Ill., on the east to Sterling, Ill., on the west. It includes Rock County in Wisconsin and all or portions of the following Illinois counties: Winnebago, Boone, Stephenson, Whiteside, Ogle, Lee, DeKalb, LaSalle, Bureau, Marshall, Livingston, Woodford, and McLean. Besides the six interstate highways that intersect I-39 within the corridor (1-43, I-90, 1-88, I-80, I-55 and 1-74), our transportation infrastructure includes seven airports, six major rail lines and barge ports along the Illinois River, Hopkins said.
Last summer, a group met to explore the possibility of organizing such a large association. By August 2002, the association had been officially founded to develop a more unified marketing message and to pool resources for projecting the new corridors identity.
To join the I-39 Logistics Corridor Association, a company must sign a formal partnership agreement that pledges membership for a three-year period at $500 per year. With memberships in the corporations name, any employee can attend quarterly meetings and participate in the work of the association. According to Hopkins, the broad-based appeal of the association is attracting developers, contractors, real estate brokers, land owners, economic development agencies, trucking and warehousing companies, manufacturers, research and development firms, railroad, utilities, airports, air freight firms, title companies, colleges and universities.
Currently we have 32 paid members and anticipate between 50 and 60 members by the end of this year, he said. We want real estate decision-makers to know that we are ideally located at the very apex of the U.S. logistics convergence with Canada to the north, Mexico to the south, the Appalachian Mountains to the east and the Rocky Mountains to the west. Not only do we have an excellent transportation infrastructure, traffic along the I-39 Logistics Corridor moves free of congestion to and from north/south and east/west destinations, said Hopkins. The association will identify resources of interest to the logistics industry including trucking, intermodal, air freight, railroad and passenger facilities.
In addition to a Public Relations Committee and a Government Affairs Committee, the association has formed a Steering Committee, which includes Larry Cass, ProblemSolver with Rockford, Ill.-based Workplace Staffing; Gary G. Dahl, president of Peru, Ill.-based Double D Express Inc. and Double D Warehouse LLC; Mike Fonda, senior director of the Rosemont office of Cushman & Wakefield of lllinois, Inc.; Patrick Gallagher, senior vice president, Skokie, Ill.-based The Alter Group; Mark B. Goode, SIOR, CCIM, principal of Riverwoods, Ill.-based Venture One Real Estate, LLC; Jeffrey J. Janda, principal of the Chicago office of Lee & Associates; Lynne Kilker, director of Oregon, Ill.-based Ogle County Economic Development; Barb Koch, executive director & CEO of the LaSalle -based Illinois Valley Area Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development; Robert A. Levin, executive director of the Rockford Area Council of 100; Mark A. Maday, board member with the Greater Rochelle Economic Development Corporation; Rick Nolan, director of the Bloomington-based Economic Development Council of the Bloomington-Normal Area; James R.

The Culture of Excellence
We believe that creating a Culture of Excellence is the key to developing strong television stations that provide top quality service to our viewers and our advertisers, returns to our investors, and job satisfaction to our staff members.
KGVO-TV Signed On The Air In 1954
In 1954, KGVO-TV signed on the air, making a commitment to serve western Montana with excellent television programming. In the summer of '54, that meant delivering just four hours of programming each day.
Times have changed. KGVO-TV is now KECI-TV. The station broadcasts 24 hours of programming each and every day, much of it in high-definition and 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound, to a much larger community.
Some things haven't changed, though. KECI remains committed to the communities we serve, offering local news, weather, sports and entertainment that matters to western Montanans. We deliver the best in entertainment from NBC. We proudly support hundreds of community events each year.
In 1954, we knew we'd be here to stay. The same holds true today. KECI-TV 13, committed, everyday.

listen to Slough Feg. That's the closest ill get to Power metal
Album Rating: 3.5Ah, there is the Mike Stagno review for the new Helloween. I might actually check this out because Gambling for the Devil was not bad at all.

Album Rating: 4.0Yeah Nag I can't see any reason why you wouldn't like this
Album Rating: 4.0Pffft, some of these lyrics are horribad. But its power metal, so that kinda comes with the genre.
I had never listened to any Helloween post-keepers, and this is pretty damn impressive. You know who their singer reminds me of? Paul Di'Anno, Maiden's first singer. Both of them are guys with a great, abrasive lower range that can still hit the high notes when need be.
Album Rating: 3.3If you like this album, then you would probably like the one before it too.
Digging: Adimiron - Et Liber Eris
Album Rating: 3.5I think I like this a little better than Gambling, that one had a couple of weak ballads.

Album Rating: 4.0This has easily been the best year for Power Metal in forever...maybe best year ever.
Album Rating: 3.3"Long Live The King" reminds me of something from the last Testament album, specifically "The persecuted won't forget." I know they're not the same, but the beginings still sound similar.

It's as dark as O'Neill and Williams but a good deal funnier.
Whom do you trust, when trust itself seems an untrustworthy proposition?
The Jewish Theatre of Bloomington's production of Arthur Miller's 1968 play The Price features a cast that includes actors from Indianapolis and San Francisco.
It's comedy, so when some one says "From here on its clear sailing," you know that the sailing will be anything but clear.

Fitness Tips from Hot Pants – No Resolution Needed
Do I dare say that I'm in better shape now than when I was in my 20s and 30s? You bet! In fact, I'm stronger and healthier than I've ever been and it's not from a New Year's resolution. Those never work for me. I give all the credit to my wife – for encouraging me (dragging me) to go to a personal trainer when I turned 40. I wasn't in terrible shape, but suffered from the "my back is out for no reason" syndrome often.
Since 2006, I've trained on and off with Scotty Murphy at Advanced Fitness Solutions in Kennewick. Why a trainer? Well, I need someone to kick my butt when I don't feel like exercising – plus, he's not cheap and that motivates me. I figure an investment in my health now will allow me to work longer and play with my future grand kids!
I've also been practicing Bikram Yoga once a week since 2008. Have you ever been? Bikram Yoga has dramatically improved my overall health. Check out Bikram Yoga Tri-Cities and take the challenge. Try it for 30 days – I guarantee you'll feel and look better. The biggest challenge in the beginning is staying in the room. It's very warm! You'll be surprised at how many of your friends already go.
In between training and yoga I try and jog 3 – 5 miles a week.
It's not easy to carve out time to do these things – we have two boys ages 13 and 17, work full time, and attend other activities. So if your life if busy you'll have to be flexible (no pun intended). You just gotta do it – put it on the schedule and stay consistent.
The result? I sleep better, my back is strong, I have more energy, I eat what I want, I'm low on stress, I'm happier, and my wife pays more attention to me…if you get my drift.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont. -- Saskatchewan skip Amber Holland sure hopes it is an omen.
Holland scored 21 of a possible 30 points to win the Ford Hot Shots contest that kicked off this year's Scotties Tournament of Hearts at the Essar Centre yesterday.
Holland, who executed a perfect double-takeout to score the winning five to edge Ontario lead Kari MacLean (18 points) in the final, won a two-year lease on a 2010 Ford Taurus SEL FWD worth about $25,000.
In the past, teams with Hot Shots winners have fared well at the nationals. Manitoba second Jill Officer won in 2008 and Jennifer Jones went on to win the Canadian crown. B.C. skip Kelley Law won both the car and the title in 2000. Others have made it to the finals.
"This is not about winning a car," said Holland, who drives a 2006 Mitsubishi Outlander. "There's a lot of games left to happen to do what we came to do."
Holland, however, does plan to carpool her teammates with her new ride.
"I didn't really expect it," said Holland, one of the favourites here. "It's nice. It's good. I'm just glad I executed the shots."
MacLean pocketed $2,000.
Manitoba skip Jill Thurston, who finished third, earned $1,000.
"It's fun," Thurston said. "That's the main thing about Hot Shots, you get more ice time and you get a feel for what's doing."
B.C. skip Kelly Scott, who played for Thurston as a junior, held the broom for her.
"It was nice. Kelly and I have been friends for a long time," Thurston said.
IN THE PINK: The Newfoundland team is using pink brushes to raise awareness for breast cancer. Second Rhonda Rogers is a breast cancer survivor. Now, 37, Rogers was diagnosed with the disease when she was 29.
"We're wearing red and pink, so no big deal," said skip Shelley Nichols. "It's like Valentine's Day."
FAMILY AFFAIR: The Yukon/NWT entry boasts the first mother-daughter combination here since 1993. Sharon Cormier, 45, calls the game and throws second, while her daughter, Megan, 20, throws skip rocks. In 1993, Lois Fowler and her daughter, Rhonda, played for Manitoba's Maureen Bonar. Before that, Carolyn Darbyshire, who now plays second for Alberta's Olympics-bound Cheryl Bernard, played for her mother, Merline, when she represented Manitoba in 1985.

I was approximately four years old when I fell deeply, madly in love. Contrary to what the scribbled hieroglyphics in my diary would have you believe, five-year-old Adam Greenberg and his adorable striped turtlenecks were not the objects of my undying affection.
I'd had crushes before, certainly. Adam and I, for example, had previously shared a very special moment on a sagging plastic couch in our preschool's playroom. One time, I kissed Warren Steimatzky on the cheek, and I thought Johnny Bravo was so cute! Compared to the transcendent passion I would soon experience, however, these liaisons barely qualified as passing flirtations. Here was an entirely new brand of worship.
I first laid eyes on Princess Aurora's ball gown at my grandparents' house in Riverdale. It was Saturday night, and—sure enough—the lights were low. Securing their reputation as more indulgent caregivers than my own parents, Opa and Nana had plied me with crumb cake, strawberries and ice cream earlier that evening. Now, they slipped Sleeping Beauty into their VCR and parked me in front of the television. It was in this kiddie version of Kubla-Khan's pleasure dome that I encountered it.
One look and I knew: the color pink and I were soul mates.
The author in her Pink Power Ranger costume, left, and in some sort of monochromatic candy colored confection, right.
I should say that I'd never been much of a "girly girl." At least, not in the conventional sense. I didn't care to live in Barbie's Dreamhouse or Rapunzel's tower. (Gilded cages! All of them!) I hated glitter and found sequins itchy. I wanted to be Nancy Drew. Disney princesses, on the other hand, were less appealing. It wasn't that I objected to their inherently sexist narratives or unrealistic storylines. I didn't begrudge them their lilting voices or ability to communicate with small, squirrely mammals. But unlike so many of my peers, I had no desire to follow in Cinderella's glass-slippered footsteps. Even then, I was a realist. As a frizzy-haired, tone-deaf toddler, I knew better than to blindly hope for such an unlikely future. Animated royalty was not my destiny.
Besides, I was three-dimensional. And brunette.
But while Aurora's life and mine diverged in an enchanted wood, her bubblegum-colored wardrobe remained firmly within reach. I may have been young, but this much I understood: A significant other is meant to bring out the best in you. Armed with my already rosy complexion, I set out to make this complementary color my own.
Our romance was ardent, enduring, and borderline obsessive.
The following summer, I wore a lace, pink dress to attend my cousin's wedding and begged my mother to find shoes that matched. I bemoaned my school's navy blue uniform and slept in cotton-candy-colored nightgowns. Year after year I blew out an increasing number of candles on pink frosted cakes. I got a salmon-hued leather jacket and a pair of blush high-top sneakers. Even the Jackie-O-inspired suit I would eventually wear to my Bat Mitzvah service was a confectionary, pale pink. In retrospect, it remains among the most gorgeously sophisticated outfits I've ever laid eyes on.
Eventually, of course, the spell broke. By the time I started high school, pink seemed suddenly too sweet to take seriously. Sure, "real men" sported it, but could grown-up women? The mere existence of Paris Hilton suggested that: no, they could not.
Gradually, then, I began to experiment with black miniskirts and brown sweaters and fifty shades of grey cashmere. Soon, I fell into an easy uniform of dark, edgy neutrals. I bought a ruby-red cocktail dress and a pair of olive green skinny jeans. Denim was a revelation! So was buttery leather and rich, cobalt blue. Pink — now relegated to delicate lingerie and a lone pair of ballet flats — quickly lived up to its girlish, frivolous reputation.
That is, until last winter.
Marching down the Fall 2013 catwalks of February, a made-over pink resurfaced in spectacular fashion. Dusky, pastel iterations of it graced the runways of Céline, Simone Rochas and Carven. This season, matchmakers at Kenzo and Rochas dressed the color up in mohair and boucle and boiled wool. I spotted it on Vogue.com and Michelle Obama. You probably saw it photographed on the arm — or shoulders — of Hannah Bronfman and Alexa Chung. If you did, you know that it didn't just look good. It looked strong. No longer the meek rosé of Aurora's robes or even a riff on Elsa Schiaparelli's shocking pink, this new hue is somehow steelier. The woman wearing it is one you don't want to cross. In fact, she's someone I want to be.
And so like scores of remorseful lovers (and Michael Jackson) before me, I have only this to say: Ooh baby, I want you back.

I counted about 4 or 5 no calls where anthony davis should have been at the line for either 1 or 2. Cant wait until next year when he starts to earn the respect and the calls from the refs that the stars get
Nets punish Hornets on glass
I said in the pregame that the Nets were a team that got their winning margins by crashing the glass and getting fouled while doing so. Tonight, the Nets rebounded more than 40% of their misses – which is 10% more than even they usually manage. On the other end, they kept the Hornets offensive rebound numbers purely pedestrian. Game, Match, Set.
Evans, Blatche, and Wallace pushed Anthony Davis and Lance Thomas around – and though Davis held his own using quickness, the Nets generally dominated the interior. You'll, I hope, notice that I didn't mention Robin Lopez. That's because Robin Lopez was being forced to guard the pick and roll – or being iso'd all night. That meant he was almost always out of position to help on the glass. The result was 3 defensive rebounds in 37 minutes. Oomph.
With Anderson on the bench with a virus, the Hornets were pretty short-handed offensively – happily both Gordon and Davis showed up, flipping in 41 points on 30 shots.
Davis had a bunch of nice alley-oops and showed that amazing touch of his hitting shots on the move after contact. Most importantly to me, he didn't back down to Reggie Evans despite having the shorter, stronger man throwing elbows, shoving, pushing, smacking, and eventually giving him a bloody nose. You could tell Davis was getting hurt, but it didn't stop him.
Gordon too was being bodied and grabbed and pushed around by his defender, Gerald Wallace. Gordon's response was to explode at the basket before Wallace could reach him – and he had one of his strongest scoring nights of the season. The dunk he put down in the fourth was crushing. It's moments like that where you can't help but nod and see why Dell re-signed him. Wouldn't it be nice if he could play near that level all next season?
Other Observations
- Xavier Henry remained glued to the bench tonight, despite the lack of healthy bodies and Darius Miller having one of his bad games. I keep wanting to say that his chances seem to have finally run out, but somehow, I still think we'll see him again this season.
- During the third quarter, excepting two fast break plays, the Nets ran pick and rolls or Isolation plays at Robin Lopez on 9 straight plays. They scored on 7 of them.
- I kept hoping we'd see more pick and rolls with Davis as the screener. In the fourth, we got 4 total – and three of them were at the start of the quarter. It's effective, Monty needs to make use of it.
- Reggie Evans throws elbows all the time. Little shivers on picks, jabs when guys are cutting, and when fighting for rebound position, he'll throw combo's of elbows at guys to get room. I'm shocked he doesn't pick up fouls at a higher rate.
- Roberts had a lot of success getting into the paint tonight – but defensively he was being absolutely crushed by Deron Williams. He couldn't do anything to even slow him.
- Lou Amundson got 4 minutes and picked up 3 quck fouls and got stuffed on a dunk. He did do some nice celebrations from the bench. Go Lou!
- Blatche still has his moments where he tries to do too much – but they are much more infrequent than they used to be and he's become a valuable bench asset.
Next game is Friday in Washington! Ping Pong Collison!

Regarding Brook Lopez's now-viral dunk over his twin brother Robin: Can someone please explain to me why it wasn't an offensive foul for Brook to grab Robin's right elbow with his left hand and push Robin's arm down before dunking the ball?
My sentiments exactly. That was a clear offensive foul.
Highlight of the night was Lance Thomas nearly soiling himself when he realized he was going to guard Brook Lopez. He was matching up in transition, and when he realized he was on Lopez, his eyes got huge and he yelled for Robin, who immediately came and guarded his bro. You had to see it live.. was hysterical
Hey, I just saw, in several places, the link to an article titled pelicans 2013 virtual offseason. It sounded really interesting, but the link didnt work

James Oliphant and Mike Dorning
Chicago Tribune
November 11, 2008
Barack Obama has said repeatedly that he wants to shutter the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, that holds accused terrorists. But aides cautioned Monday that the president-elect isn't close to reaching a decision on how to do it.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
The Associated Press reported advisers to Obama were crafting a plan that would send accused terrorists to the U.S. and try some of them in a new, specially tailored court system rather than the military tribunals currently in use.
But Denis McDonough, a foreign policy adviser to Obama, said the nascent administration would wait until its national security and legal teams are in place before determining how to proceed.
"President-elect Obama said throughout his campaign that the legal framework at Guantanamo has failed to successfully and swiftly prosecute terrorists, and he shares the broad bipartisan belief that Guantanamo should be closed," McDonough said in a statement. "There is absolutely no truth to reports that a decision has been made about how and where to try the detainees, and there is no process in place to make that decision until his national security and legal teams are assembled."

Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New Jersey
My spouse recently passed away. Am I obligated to pay her credit card debts?
1 Answer from Attorneys
Yes and no. You are not personally liable for your wife's credit card debt (although there is some other debt such as medical bills for which you may be liable). However, her estate is liable for her debts. So, if you are settling her estate as the Personal Representative, you must distribute the assets of the estate in the order prescribed by law. That would ordinarily result in the credit card debts being paid before and distributions could be made to residuary beneficiaries such as a spouse. You cannot convert the assets of the estate to your own use. It is not always easy to determine which assets go into the estate and which go direclty to some other person such as a surviving spouse. You may want to consult with a lawyer who can assist you in determining what goes where.

Fine-wine lover Keith Prothero is organising what looks like a seriously great dinner in the private room of The Square restaurant in London, W1, on 31 Oct. Hugh Johnson will be guest of honour, and I can assure you he is excellent company.
Prothero's pet charity is Pebbles, which helps disadvantaged children in South Africa's winelands, who mainly suffer from Foetal Alcohol Syndrome. He provides the wine from his own cellar and then asks people to bid for seats at the dinner.
There are places available for 10 people other than Keith and Hugh, and five have already been taken by wine enthusiasts who paid a 'buy now' price of £1000 a head via the forum at www.wine-pages.com
The wines to be served include, at its first public tasting anywhere, a magnum of Côte Rôtie, Hommage à Étienne Guigal 2005. This is the wine made by Marcel and Philippe Guigal from their premium vineyards in minute quantity (just two barrels), with the wine to be used exclusively for charitable tastings and not sold on the open market by the family. Keith acquired this wine at a charitable auction at the Hospices de Rhône and collected it himself at the cellar door. (See our members' forum for a magnificent picture of this bottle.)
The full list of wines to be served that have been selected so far are (not necessarily in serving order):
Trimbach, Riesling Clos Ste-Hune Vendange Tardive 1989 Alsace
Trimbach, Riesling Clos Ste-Hune Hors Choix 1989 Alsace

Brand Build Guide by th3muf1nman
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Brand Build
Purchase Order
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Starting with Kage's Lucky Pick jump starts your build and is an ingredient in a later item, making it practical for the start. Next get Ionian Boots of Lucidity bringing cooldown to 25%. now you want your AP, which comes from Rabadon's Death Cap. This is where you start getting ganked, so build your health(with slowing effect on the side) using Rylai's Crystal Scepter. Time for an extra attack, you want a Deathfire Grasp maxing your cooldown reduction at 40%(the max the game will allow) with its' nice true damage active(don't forget to hotkey it!). Again we're getting another attack, this one super powerful with your now high AP; shoot for a Lich Bane. By now everyone should be scared of you and will have built some magic resistance, counter it with your final item; a Void Staff.
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration
Greater Seal of Gold
Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power
Greater Quintessence of Gold
MasteriesUtility provides ok cooldown reduction, mana regen for early game when it's required, 15% cooldown reduction on heal and ignite, and 2 extra gold gain for-again-getting that build out as soon as possible. 9 in Offense brings cooldown reduction up to 10% with an extra 10% magic penetration and 4 AP on the side.
Skill SequencePillar of Flame is Brand's most powerful ability, and most ranged, so get it at every opportunity. The game won't allow you to get the same ability twice in a row, so you have to stagger abilities. First you need one point of Sear for its' stun effect with Blaze. After that you max Conflagration whenever you can't get Pillar of Flame. You finish maxing Sear last. Pyroclasm, like all ultimates, must be taken at levels 6, 11, and 16.
Summoner Spells
Heal may seem like a nooby spell to use but is very essential to survival when getting ganked. Ignite has many uses: nullifying heals, catching runners, or just for extra damage.
By now you have 7 ways to deal extreme damage to opponents. You've got your 4 abilities, the Ignite summoner spell, Lich Bane's passive, and Deathfire Grasp's active. All of this makes Brand on the overall a total nuke, beware opponents! Just remember to utilize all that power! Get Tenacity if you're getting silenced too often to unload all your power!( Mercury's Treads)
Combo Attacks
I would like to explain the order in which to use your spells for maximum damage and efficiency and for the useful Blaze bonus that adds to your spells.
Conflagration to start your Blaze bonus, Sear to stun them, Pillar of Flame to utilize that stun, a basic attack to get your Lich Bane passive damage, then Deathfire Grasp, Ignite, and Pyroclasm are free to pick up the kill if need be.
Team Fight:
Unlike a 1v1, start by using Pyroclasm. Then use Conflagration to get its area effect from Blaze. Now nuke the crowd with Pillar of Flame, they should all be a Blaze and take extra damage from this. Now you can target individuals with Sear, Ignite, Deathfire Grasp, and Lich Bane.
1.If you are getting fed up with the constant ganks, Mercury's Treads are a choice instead of Ionian Boots of Lucidity.
2.If you are tired of having a mana problem early game, you could switch from Kage's Lucky Pick to starting off with building Mercury's Treads first, then shooting for a Fiendish Codex, and immediately afterwards, a Morello's Evil Tome, but then Deathfire Grasp wouldn't be required so replace it with a Will of the Ancients.
3.I realize Deathfire Grasp and Lich Bane are odd choices, I only use them for the two extra high damage attacks. If you'd like you have the choice to replace them with Mejai's Soulstealer, Abyssal Mask, Zhonya's Hourglass, or Odyn's Veil.
1.If you don't like getting Greed , you can take just two points in Swiftness then take Transmutation , Runic Affinity , and Awareness .
Summoner Spells
1. Clarity can replace Heal if you don't like the mana problem(be sure to use the appropriate build if you do!)
2. Flash can also replace Heal with less survivability in ganks but more effectiveness in chase-downs.
1.If you think the gold gain is useless, you can replaceGreater Seals of Avarice with Greater Seals of Warding for protection early game against the other mage in the middle, or Greater Seals of Replenishment to help solve that early-game mana problem!
2.For the same reason you can replace Greater Quintessences of Avarice with Greater Quintessences of Potency for more firepower!
Greater Seal of Magic Resist
Greater Seal of Mana Regeneration
Greater Quintessence of Ability Power
Thanks jhoijhoi!
jhoijhoi's "Making a guide" taught me to code, and every millimeter of it you see in here is credited to her! I literally had her coding instruction open on another tab the whole time I was making this guide! Thanks again!

Graham Middleton, of Ingol, was the first person to arrive outside the Minster at 9.15am.
He said: "He was a Preston legend. He was Mr Preston.
"I wouldn't have missed this for the world, I even missed a hospital appointment for it.
"He was everybody's hero and so down to Earth. My Auntie used to live about ten doors away and he used to play football with me on the open space when I was six or seven."
Jack Gore, 18, of Bamber Bridge, arrived at 10.30am with his mum, Valerie Gore.
Jack said: "I've missed college to be here today I just couldn't miss it. I wanted to pay my respects to the great man on this historic day.
"I grew up loving Preston North End.
Valerie said that Tom Finney went to her first wedding and has grown up knowing him. She said: "He was the uncle of my former husband. When my three older children where at school they used to tell their friends they were related to Tom Finney and no one believed them so they asked to take my wedding album into school.
"I wouldn't have missed today."

The Algerian army killed at least 14 gunmen over the weekend in Muasker province, about 380 kilometers west of the capital, Algiers, a local newspaper reported Monday. According to KUNA, "L'expression" daily, close to the Algerian authorities, disclosed army forces besieged an armed Islamic group and killed several of its members and confiscated their arms.
The same group is reported to be behind mass killings and fake barricades which targeted villagers and passengers last August and September in Muaskar province. At least 80 people were killed during the month of December and according to "Le Matine" daily a total of 1,100 were killed in violence in Algeria during 2001. (Albawaba.com)

NEW YORK, Jan. 17 (UPI) -- Michael Reagan angrily denied Monday his brother Ron's assertion that their father began showing Alzheimer's symptoms while president.
In his new book, "My Father at 100," younger son Ron Reagan says signs like memory loss emerged as early as 1984. Ronald Reagan was not diagnosed until 10 years later.
Nancy Reagan has not publicly commented on her son's statements.
On Saturday, Michael stated on Twitter: "Ron, my brother was an embarrassment to his father when he was alive and today he became an embarrassment to his mother."
Appearing on CBS's "The Early Show" Monday morning, Michael Reagan said, "All these years I've listened to people like Bill Maher and other people on the left who inferred my father had Alzheimer's when he was president of the United States to somehow discount the great job my father did as president.
"So now for one of his sons to come out and in fact say, 'Yeah, he might have had Alzheimer's or he had Alzheimer's during that time,' just gives credence to people like Bill Maher and others. It absolutely offends me that somebody would say that when there's no evidence anywhere on the planet to back it up."

Most people are unaware of the role diamonds play in bringing real benefits to people in the countries around the world where diamonds are sourced. Nowhere is this more evident than in Africa.
It is also in Africa that this same resource has been used to fund conflict. In 2000, a coalition of governments, non-governmental organizations and the diamond industry worked together to address this issue.
In 2002, they established the Kimberley Process Certification System, a UN-backed process that has virtually eliminated the trade in conflict diamonds. Today, over 99% of the world's supply of diamonds is from sources free of conflict. Diamondfacts.org is dedicated to presenting the facts about conflict diamonds, along with how diamonds are driving economic growth and prosperity in countries around the world.

Fred The Gift - I Am Fly
If you haven't guessed from the stage name (and the fact that he's a rapper), Booth newcomer Fred the Gift thinks pretty highly of himself—as far as he's concerned, there's no one on his level. On I'm So Fly, though, he makes the decidedly down-to-earth admission that everything he does, he does for the listeners. Over a starkly minimal instrumental by PCP Beats, the Bronx emcee exercises his slow flow, striking an entertaining balance between swag-heavy braggadocio and sincerity, and even taking a moment to compliment his fans on their impeccable taste: "If you're f*ckin' with the Gift that means you're doing something different/ You heard hip-hop and realized there's something missing." The arguable highlight, though, is the sample that accompanies the rapper's hook; taken from Masta Ace's classic trunk banger, Born to Roll, the "Rollin' down my windows, yeah I got an air conditioner," snippet is sure to have old-school fans turning up the volume. I'm So Fly is set for inclusion on a forthcoming project, the details of which are yet unannounced.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Robert G
Review for Our Lady's Inn, St. Louis, MO, USA
These statistics say why I think Our Lady's Inn is the greatest non-profit:
2011 Our Lady's Inn Program Accomplishments
125 women served (10485 days of care)
99 children served (9534 days of care)
39 babies born in residence (2730 days of care)
It is now in it's 30th year of operation.
Plus, it is a Charity Navigator award winner, so donors know that it's administrative costs are low. Therefore, your money is going to help women and children, not to expensive fundraising or salaries.
