SANAA, Yemen (AP) — A suicide car bomb on Monday targeted a house used by Shiite Houthi rebels in a town south of Sanaa, killing at least 10 and injuring 15, security officials said, in an attack that bore all the hallmarks of al-Qaida.
The officials said the bombing in the Radaa area in Baydah province hit the house of Abdullah Idris, a top local official with the party of ousted President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
All victims were members of the Houthi movement, whose fighters overran the capital of Sanaa last month. The Houthis have since made significant military advances widely suspected to have been made with the help of Saleh's loyalists among tribes and in the military.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
No one claimed responsibility for the bombing, which took place just hours after the officials reported that fighting resumed between the Houthis and al-Qaida fighters in Radaa. The battles left 13 of the rebels and 15 militants dead, according to tribal officials in the area.
Also on Monday, the officials said al-Qaida militants captured the town of al-Adeen, 200 kilometers (125 miles) south of from Sanaa in Ibb province. They did not give details on the capture of the town, where gunmen from al-Qaida last week stormed the local security headquarters and held it for hours before fleeing to the mountains.
The Houthis, widely suspected of links to mostly Shiite Iran, have been trying to take full control of Ibb since last week.
The fighting and the bombing in Radaa signal a widening battle between the Shiite rebels and the Sunni militants of al-Qaida in a burgeoning conflict that threatens to evolve into a sectarian split similar to that in Syria and Iraq.
Al-Qaida last month appealed to Yemen's Sunni majority to rise up against the Houthis, who in turn have sought to portray themselves as fighting against terrorism while seeking to create a united Yemen. Al-Qaida claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing earlier this month that killed 51 people, mostly Houthis, in Sanaa as they headed to an anti-government rally.
The Houthi-al-Qaida conflict is playing out against a backdrop of another layer of Yemen's woes: A growing secessionist movement in the once-independent south of the country.
Yemen has for years endured attacks by al-Qaida on its army, security forces and state facilities while it struggled with crushing poverty that has bred resentment — and outright rebellion. More recently, It has been grappling with a revolt by the Houthis who have in the past weeks overrun Sanaa and two northern provinces. Last week, they made another stunning sweep, taking control of the key Red Sea port city of Hodeida and the province of Damar south of the capital.
In Sanaa, the governor of Sanaa, Abdul-Ghani Jameel, resigned on Monday, days after the Houthis, who captured the capital last month, accused him of corruption and chased him out of his office.

Festive Wheat Berry Salad
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: The palette of this salad is perfect for Thanksgiving and fall and it makes for a healthy, delicious and nutritious side.
Whole grains are important part for good nutrition. Wheat berries are the most wholesome and least processed wheat grain and include the entire wheat kernel—the bran, germ and endosperm. (For comparison, white flour is comprised only of ground endosperm.)
Look for wheat berries in the health food store or in the natural foods section of the supermarket. (Whole Foods usually sells them in bulk, which is great!) I like the hard red wheat berries, which are very high in protein, very nutritious, and have a sweet nutty flavor and a lovely chewy texture.
The trick with hard wheat berries is to plan ahead and soak them overnight. These grains are very hard indeed, and will require a very long cooking time if they're not well-soaked.
This is a very simple recipe, and a dish everyone seems to love.
Serves: 6-8 as side dish
for the salad
cup dry wheat berries, soaked overnight
large ripe mango (can be replaced with oranges or persimmon), cut into cubes
3 or 4
celery stalks, with the fibery outer parts peeled and finely diced
pitted and finely chopped (can be replaced by another dried fruit)
1 handful
dried cranberries
1 handful
nuts, such as roasted almonds, candied pecans or walnuts
tablespoon fine sweet and interesting marmalade. I use organic Adriatic fig spread (sold at Whole Foods)
tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 sprig
thyme, finely chopped
- Cook the wheat berries by covering them with two inches of water, then bring them to a boil, lower the temperature to simmer, and cook until chewy—about 15-25 minutes. Drain and let cool.
- Add all other salad ingredients besides the nuts.
- Combine dressing ingredients.
- Add the nuts and dressing right before serving.
- Any leftovers will keep reasonably well for a day or two.
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Vegetarian Holiday Side

Tracy has agricultural roots and affordable homes, but a new study reveals a less obvious distinction for this Central Valley city: Doctors use internal radiation to treat men for prostate cancer at the highest rate in California, more than four times the state average.
By comparison, men living just 60 miles away near Stanford University are much less likely to undergo the procedure known as brachytherapy, or radiation seeds -- only about half as often as the state average.
Geographic differences also exist in treatments for early-stage breast cancer, the study found. Livermore women are 92 percent more likely than the state average to have a lumpectomy without radiation. But across the bay in San Mateo, women are much more likely to have a lumpectomy with radiation.
These and other sharp variations in treatments, based on where patients live, are detailed in a study released Tuesday by the California HealthCare Foundation.
The huge differences indicate that doctors often determine which treatments will be used -- more than patients or even medical science, researchers say.
In a small community such as Tracy, one doctor or medical group that promotes brachytherapy can have a big impact on the care residents receive, said Maribeth Shannon, director of the market and policy monitor program for the foundation, a nonprofit group in Oakland that seeks to improve health care for the state's residents.
"You've got to wonder if all the (Tracy) men realize what their options are," she said.
If patients played a bigger role in the decision-making, there would be less difference from one community to the next, Shannon said.
"Physicians, for whatever reason, get comfortable with a particular treatment," she said. "There's not as much true shared decision-making as there should be."
Earlier studies have used Medicare records and found similar variations in treatment based on where people live. This latest study also included data from commercial plans, Medi-Cal and the uninsured from 2005 to 2010.
An interactive map with statistics on a host of different conditions can be viewed at www.chcf.org/variations.
The researchers hope doctors and community members will use the information to re-examine how they do things if they are far from the norm, Shannon said.
Medical experts disagree about how often men should undergo PSA screening tests for prostate cancer and how they should be treated if cancer is diagnosed. Some believe that if the cancer is small and slow-growing, patients should simply be closely monitored. Others favor more aggressive treatments.
"There's no strong evidence to suggest one (treatment) is better than the other," said Dr. Benjamin Chung, an assistant professor of urology at Stanford University.
Oncologists at Stanford tend to use external beam radiation more than brachytherapy to kill cancer cells, Chung said. This often involves the use of expensive equipment to target the tumor while attempting to minimize damage to surrounding tissues.
Men need to be well-informed about their options and the possible side-effects, and doctors need more research on the outcomes of various treatments, said Dr. Matthew Cooperberg, an assistant professor in the departments of urology and epidemiology and biostatistics at UC San Francisco.
"There are very different financial incentives for one treatment over another," noted Cooperberg, who served on the advisory committee for the study.
George Swartz, who heads USTOO, a support group for men who have prostate cancer that meets in San Ramon, said he opted for brachytherapy when he was diagnosed 13 years ago after his physician explained the options. But he added that too often, doctors simply recommend a treatment without finding out what the patient desires.
"Physicians behave in a way that's very paternalistic," Swartz said.
Even though she does not have breast cancer, actress Angelina Jolie drew attention to breast cancer options last week when she opted for a double mastectomy after learning she has a genetic mutation that increases her risk.
The study found varying rates of mastectomies for early-stage breast cancer from one community to the next. Women in the Vacaville area were more likely to have a single mastectomy than the average California woman, while women in San Ramon were more likely to have a double mastectomy than the average.
Shannon noted that doctors may recommend treatments based on what was popular at the time they received their medical training. She suggested that physicians provide patients with decision-making tools to help them weigh the medical evidence and the trade-offs involved in each choice.
Patients then need to do their part. "Engage -- tell the doctor what you think," she said.

Barry leads Badgers into Rose Bowl today
Stanford favored by 6 points
Seven years after Barry Alvarez left the Wisconsin sideline, he's getting one more shot at the Rose Bowl.
The longtime Badgers coach says he can't provide any master game plan to beat No. 8 Stanford (11-2) in Wisconsin's third straight trip to Pasadena.
Instead, Alvarez's players say he offers perspective, inspiration and even a little swagger while he bridges Wisconsin's one-game gap between Bret Bielema and Gary Andersen.
The Badgers (8-5) hope it's enough to knock off the favored Cardinal.
Alvarez built Wisconsin's long-mediocre program into a consistent winner, exactly what Stanford coach David Shaw is accomplishing in the Bay Area.
The Cardinal won the Pac-12 title to advance to their third straight BCS bowl, a once-unthinkable feat at the academic-minded school. Stanford hasn't won the Rose Bowl since 1972.
No. 8 Stanford (11-2) vs. Wisconsin (8-5), 4 p.m. central.
On TV: ESPN
Line: Stanford by 6.
Series Record: Wisconsin leads 4-0-1.
Stanford can close out its Pac-12 championship season with its first victory in the Rose Bowl since 1972, while Wisconsin has a chance for its first win in three straight trips to the Granddaddy of Them All. The Badgers will be led by athletic director Barry Alvarez, who picked up his coaching whistle for one more game after Bret Bielema left for Arkansas.
Wisconsin RB Montee Ball vs. Stanford LB Shayne Skov. Ball has scored more touchdowns than any player in FBS history as the senior leader of the Badgers' deliberate, ground-oriented offense. Skov is the leading tackler on the nation's third-stingiest rushing defense, allowing just 87.7 yards per game. If the Cardinal shut down Ball, the Badgers might be buried.
Wisconsin: LB Mike Taylor. The senior has more tackles than any FBS player over the past two seasons, and he'll have to lead an impressive defensive effort to slow down Stanford RB Stepfan Taylor and the Cardinal's brutally effective offense.
Stanford: QB Kevin Hogan. The redshirt freshman took over the starting job in November and immediately beat four ranked teams, including top-ranked Oregon. If he avoids rookie jitters for one more game, he'll win the Rose Bowl - a feat even Andrew Luck never accomplished.
The game is the 99th edition of the Rose Bowl. ... New Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen is expected to watch the game from the sideline while Alvarez and the Badgers' current coordinators run the team. ... Stanford is playing in four consecutive bowl games for the first time in school history. ... The Badgers earned this unlikely rematch of the 2000 Rose Bowl by upsetting Nebraska in the Big Ten title game. Wisconsin is the first five-loss team to make the Rose Bowl, but three of its defeats were in overtime. ... Both teams have played in three consecutive BCS bowl games. Stanford played in the Orange and Fiesta bowls in the past two seasons. Oregon is the only other school with a three-game BCS bowl streak. ... Wisconsin is the third Big Ten team to make three straight Rose Bowls, the first since Michigan in 1977-79. .. The Badgers will be the first team to play in three straight BCS bowls with three different starting quarterbacks. ... Ball needs 150 yards to match the career Rose Bowl rushing record of Ron Dayne, the Badgers' career rushing leader and Heisman Trophy winner.

Ionia softball team prepares for first year under new coach
The 2013 season will be one of newness for the Ionia varsity softball team.
With the resignation of former coach Andy Barr, who led the Bulldogs for seven seasons, the program is now in the hands of former JV coach Judy Becker.
Another change for Ionia will be in the pitcher's circle, where the graduation of Ashleigh Babcock has left the job of No. 1 hurler up for grabs.
Although she does not have a pure No. 1 pitcher just yet, Becker said she has options in junior Taylor Bovee, sophomore Bre Miller and freshman Taylor Townsend.
Becker said she is confident in her pitching staff, but as her young hurlers develop, the players in the field behind them will need to be solid.
"Ashleigh threw with a lot of velocity, so it was tough to hit her and pull the ball. That allowed the defense to cheat a little more toward the opposite field," she said. "This year we won't be able to do that, so we will have to make more plays in the field.
"We just need to play defense. It's been tough so far not being able to be outside because the ball bounces differently in the field than it does on the gym floor, but I think we will be fine."
The pitching staff will have an experienced catcher joining them in the battery in senior Erika Ketchum.
Although the 2013 group of Lady Dawgs has only been together for three weeks, Becker said the returning players and newcomers are gelling well.
"The group of seniors and the younger kids all get along," she said. "A team won't be successful if they don't gel, so that is definitely a strength coming in."
Based on her experience facing Capital Area Activities Conference Red teams at the JV level the last few years, Becker said she expects St. Johns, Owosso and Haslett to be the teams to beat in the league this spring.
Becker said the goal for her team is to continue to improve and be competitive against a tough schedule.
Along with some changes in the field, Becker also will bring a few new faces into both the varsity and JV dugouts. She will be assisted by Dave Weisgerber and former Ionia JV baseball coach Paul Wright, while the JV squad will be coached by Ionia alum Bridget (Stout) Cole and her assistant, Belding alum Sarah Ring.
The Bulldogs were unable to play their originally scheduled opener in Hastings on Wednesday due to inclement weather. They are now scheduled to open the season on April 9 at Lakewood.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — U.S. and Australian agents seized 750 kilograms (1,650 pounds) of cocaine from a yacht in the South Pacific nation of Vanuatu, officials said Friday.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and Australian Federal Police have collaborated with South Pacific governments since 2010 to investigate organized crime syndicates' use of yachts to smuggle cocaine from South America to Australia.
Australian Customs and Border Protection Service said in a statement that Vanuatu police assisted in the seizure made Monday at the capital, Port Vila.
The drugs worth 370 million Australian dollars ($330 million) were found in the engine compartment of the yacht.
No arrests have yet been made.
Australia has become an increasingly lucrative market for international drug syndicates because the relative strength of its currency and economy.
U.S.-Australian cooperation with authorities in Vanuatu, Tonga, the Cook Islands, and New Caledonia have resulted in almost 2 tons of cocaine destined for Australia being seized from five vessels since 2010.

Whoo! Who you lovin, who you wanna be huggin, heh
Who you wit, who you wanna be fuckin
Got this smarty art chick to whom I pose this question
I read a couple books to add to her soul's progression
To put this in laymen's term, I gave her some knowledge
She gave me, brains in return, she had to drop out of college
Knowin she does this homework, I give her in house tutoring
In and out I'm movin through her student body union and
She, call me professor, say daddy come and test her
So she could fail on purpose and repeat the semester
I'm like, at this rate ma you never graduate
She said, I ain't no fool I'll make it up in summer school
I love girls, girls, girls, girls, girls, I do adore
Yo put your number on this paper cuz I would love to date ya
Holla at ya when I come off tour

Yo put your number on this paper cuz I would love to date ya
Holla at ya when I come off tour

Spend a whole day she hangin round with part time haters
All they do is diss dirt and put a up on my latest
Itinerary, but since I tend to vary, see
I tend to carry, more rumors than ten Mariah Careys
Tend to hurries in ten places at once
Plus she can't front just peep how I run mines
Ma, our time together is our time together, and uh
Our time apart is our time apart
So love Jay with your mind girl and not your heart
And some day I slow down, but for now I get around
Like the late Makaveli or Perelli twenty inches
Or caine and O-dog, stick up tape from menace
You tell 'em chicks if they must know my buisness
I'm lookin for, southern girl that cook like Patti LaBelle
Big ghetto booty, scarf over her doobie
Chanel under the Louis, Gucci over her booty
Vicky cover her titties, attitude of the city
Pretty, witty, girly, worldly
One who likes to party but come home early
Light kinda dark, short sorta tall
Slim, kinda thick I swear I love 'em all
She can cook the coke and got hook up on the license
But she can get you first class seats for coach prices
Isn't this great, my flight leaves at eight
Her flight lands at nine, my game just rewinds
I'm not a one girl's guy, and they know it
When it comes to love, I don't lie, and the girls respect me for it
Ain't gonna say my nose? can't be over
But right now it's just too many fine ladies out there to choose one from
I'm tryin girls out, waiting patiently
Just tryin girls out, until I find the one for me

Former Cleveland Indians C Sandy Alomar Jr. has accepted a spot on manager Terry Francona's staff for 2013. However, Alomar might still be a candidate for another manager position elsewhere this winter. Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said former Houston Astros manager Bradley Mills is also a candidate to join Francona's staff. Hitting coach Bruce Fields and third base coach Steve Smith will not be back with the Indians for the 2013 season. It is still unclear whether pitching coach Ruben Niebla, bullpen coach Dave Miller or first base coach Tom Wiedenbauer will be back with Cleveland next season.

Review: Glenfarclas 21 Year Year Old Highland Malt
Posted by Arctic Wolf on March 22, 2012
This review continues my examinations of the Glenfarclas Single Malt line-up. I have previously reviewed the Glenfarclas 12 Year, and the Glenfarclas Cask Strength 105. All of the Glenfarclas whiskies have been matured in two styles of oak barrels, plain oak barrels which have previously contained Bourbon or Scotch whisky, and Spanish oak barrels which have previously contained Oloroso or Fino Sherry from Seville. The whisky is then stored in traditional 'dunnage' warehouses that date from the late 1800s. These warehouses have thick stone walls and earthen floors.
The Glenfarclas 21 Year Old Highland Single Malt Whisky which is the subject of this review has been bottled at 43 % and is produced from aged stocks of both first fill sherry casks and refill bourbon casks.
Pacific Wine & Spirits Inc have facilitated these reviews by providing samples for me to assess and inviting me to a tasting event hosted by George Grant, the Sales Director for the Glenfarclas Distillery. Mr. Grant is part of the 6th generation of the Grant Family who originally purchased the distillery in 1865. His family still controls and manages the distillery today.
Here is an excerpt from my review:
"… The initial aroma from the glass is well-rounded and balanced. The smells of dried fruit from the sherry barrels, the spicy orange peel from the oak, and the scents of toffee and caramel seem to be melded together such that each impression is part of the others… "

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea's economy grew 2 percent in 2012, its weakest performance in three years, and is not expected to rebound strongly this year, the central bank said Thursday.
The Bank of Korea blamed weak growth on a drop in corporate investment and lackluster exports, which offset the government's increased spending on construction projects and welfare. The government spending contributed 0.6 percentage point to the 2012 growth rate.
South Korea's economy, Asia's fourth largest, is forecast to improve only modestly this year because demand for exports has been sapped by Europe's debt crisis and an uncertain recovery in the U.S. The central bank earlier this month downgraded its 2013 growth forecast to 2.8 percent from 3.2 percent forecast in October.
Another challenge to South Korea's export-reliant economy is the strengthening of the local currency against the U.S. dollar. A stronger won can make South Korea goods such as cars made by Hyundai Motor Co. more expensive than those by Japanese rivals. Japan's currency, meanwhile, has weakened as its new government tries to engineer an economic recovery.
South Korea's government plans to increase support for small and medium enterprises that are more vulnerable to volatile foreign exchange rates than bigger exporters, it said Tuesday.
For the final three months of 2012, the economy grew 0.4 percent from the previous quarter. That was better than 0.1 percent growth in the July-September quarter because of a modest rise in consumer spending.
But Bank of Korea director-general Kim Young-bae said it is too soon to say that the economic slowdown has bottomed out.
The central bank kept its policy rate steady at 2.75 percent for a third month in January rather than cutting it, partly because the economy is expected to get a boost from front-loading of government spending in the next few months.
The government of president-elect Park Geun-hye, who takes office in February, is planning to spend about 70 percent of the government's annual budget during the first half of this year to aid the recovery.

God's good week: Two big court victories
God had a pretty good week in court last week. Last Monday the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that opening a government meeting with a prayer was not a violation of the rights of non-believers.
Then on Friday the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that recitations of the Pledge of Allegiance in class did not violate the rights of students who did not believe in God. Halleluja. In the United States, tolerating the religious beliefs of others is a national value. But that tolerance does not require banning all references to God from the public square or from public life.
If athiests are so sensitive that they cannot stand to even hear other citizens recite the Lord's name, that is a shame. But hypersensitivity does not create a legal justification for purging any mention of God from public places.

A parent's guide to raising financially responsible children in an age of unprecedented wealth It is natural as parents that we want to give our children the best of everything. And in an age of unprecedented wealth and easy credit, upper- and middle-income parents can indulge that urge like never before. Yet, you have become alarmed over the impact this newfound affluence may be having on your children. You fear that through your generosity you are training your children to be greedy, selfish spendthrifts. The first parenting guide to focus exclusively on this increasingly sensitive topic, Silver Spoon Kids was coauthored by a psychotherapist who counsels people with money-related emotional problems and a lawyer specializing in estate planning. Drawing upon their experiences as members of the renowned NYU Family Wealth Institute, they tell you how to talk to kids about money, how to teach them to handle it responsibly, and how to instill in your kids a sense of giving to their communities.This is relevant not only to the superrich but also to the millions of families whose children are exposed to material abundance.

Hi all
I am doing some research before I start my project. I will not be building a generator but will be taking advantage of current technology.
Fact DC
Using DC motors to generate electricity requires inverters to convert to AC and to make a AC sinewave however the cheaper inverters do not create a true sinewaves so you cannot inject this AC directly into your DB board unless you buy a very expensive inverter which can range from R3000 up to R15000 and more
Fact AC
Using a car alternator you can produce a pure sinewave which theoreticaly can be injected directly into your DB board however the rpm's required to use an alternator is extreamly high from what I have read.
Now my questions
1 What is better? A DC motor or an AC motor. " I believe that DC would be better.
2 What are the best ? DC motors to use eg, wheel chair motor,
3 What are the best ? ACmotors to use eg, weed eater motor, car alternater
As children growing up we had little cars with a weighted balanced wheel. rubbing the cards wheels would generate energy in this wheel and when you put the car on the ground it would drive for some distance before stopping.
Can we not apply this theory to the wind turbine? I know that it would make it difficult for the wind to start it up however would it not assist the turbine in keeping a constant speed under low wind conditions. Just an idea. What do you guys think

The SEO feasibility report: When SEO is a good idea and when it isn't
This is a guest post by Paul Burani from Clicksharp Marketing, a very sharp search marketer I met in NY
In the search engine world, it's easy to think in terms of black and white. Some traffic you pay for, some you don't. There's page one, and there's everything else. And of course we use the terms "black hat" and "white hat" SEO to differentiate the practices which push (or exceed) the limits of what is deemed acceptable by each search engine's terms of service.
This view often creates a temptation to pursue Search Engine Optimization at all costs, when in fact it may be an ill-advised strategy. What would lead a CEO, marketing manager, publisher or webmaster to make a dubious investment in SEO? In many cases, this is based on the simplistic notion that clicks from Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising come at a significant price, whereas in organic search, they cost nothing.
The idea that SEO is free is patently false. Read more

Elementary track meet revisited
Written by Matt Franzen, Doane College head football coach Thursday, 20 May 2010 16:17
Elementary track meet revisited
The recent track season got me thinking about my early days and the only track meets I ever competed in. This got me reminiscing about an annual event that I deemed, at the time, to be very traumatic for me. Looking back, I believe this event may have helped to instill a healthy competitive nature and had much to do with who I am and what I do today.
Attending Gothenburg Public Schools as an elementary student in the late '70's, I was required (along with every other student) to participate in the annual elementary school track meet. One entire school day was set aside for this and each student had to enter into at least three events. To me, this was a huge day – it seemed that the entire community came out to watch (although it was probably only parents).
The problem for me was that I was not exactly fleet of foot. I would dread the day for weeks and always ask my mother to call me in sick on that day. Thankfully, she never succumbed to my pleading. She told me that I needed to go and do my best. The only saving grace was that we always got ice cream afterward.
The thing that made this so tough was that there were only three ribbons given out for each event. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place was it. After that, well, better luck next year. I knew that the slipper kick was the only event I even had a remote chance to place in (and I did, once). The other events? Forget about it.
Enough rambling. What did I learn from all this? I learned that I hate to lose. I learned that even though the odds were stacked against me, I still had to show up and give my best. I learned that if I wanted to experience athletic success, maybe I'd better find another field of study (fortunately, tackle football came along for me in 7th grade). I also learned that not everyone gets the same reward at the end of the day.
Now, did these learning experiences hurt? Did these lessons burn me a little? Was going home without a ribbon painful for the young Franzen? Heck yes! Did it scar me? Did it destroy my confidence and ruin me forever after? Well, as I stated earlier, I don't know how else I would have learned some of these lessons so effectively and completely without it.
I realize that this is only one person's experience, but it concerns me when I hear about athletic competition for young kids where no score is kept or where every kid takes home a ribbon. I don't have kids of my own yet, but I know enough to know that parents hurt when their kids are disappointed. However, it teaches nothing and even handicaps the kids when parents will step forward and try to remove the challenge that can help to make them successful when they enter a society that is based on competition. It is very important to foster a young child's confidence when the opportunity arises, but real life contains plenty of set-backs, defeats, and frustrations and how these things are handled has everything to do with success in the real world.
And to my mom—thank you.

Use this map from the Wisconsin Department of Tourism, which appropriately reminds us of candy corn, and cross reference it with our map for B&Bs by region and presto, you have a last-minute autumn getaway plan. Then it's time to start thinking holidays and deciding where you'll stay instead of bunking down with relatives. A B&B is the next best thing – cozy bed, home-cooked breakfast, warm hospitality and, best of all, no imposition on the in-laws to detract from the joy of family.

Post subject: Greek Recipes.
I'm another engineer, and for a few years now I've run a website with Greek recipes. Though I'm not using Michael's cool Tabular Recipe Notation (Patent Pending), I've also done my best to make my family's recipes executable (har har) by those with no cooking experience. They are authentic (not like the altered recipes used in Greek restaurants outside Greece), and delicious, esp. if you have the good fortune of having access to fresh, organic vegetables. I hope you enjoy them!

Post subject: Octopus
I had an awesome optopus dish at the Aegean in Lowell, Mass. It was not on the menu, a friend knew about it and ordered it. It was tender, and stewed with tomato and nutmeg. Don't know what it was called though, and haven't been able to reproduce it, even though I can get octopus at my fish market.
Any hints?

Impressive site. I love Greek food and your recipes are well written. It is certainly a plus that you explain the origins of the naming. Great instructional technique!
It looks like the Greeks were in to "King Cake" long before the folks in New Orleans.

I am enjoying your site and browsing your recipes reminded me of an encounter I had with Greek food on the isle of Crete back in the late 70's.
I was in the Army and stationed in West Germany, back then the FRG, and was a missile systems officer. We had gone down to Crete to do a Hawk firing at a Greek base up on the mesa above the city of Hania. To those not familiar with Crete, Hania is one of the three major cities on the island and lies on the north shore on the western end. Near the base was a small village within walking distance where we could go for a meal at the only restaurant in the area. It was run by a man named Seafi (I am guessing that is how it is spelled as I had never seen it written, just spoken) and the cantina went by the same name. A group of us had gone there one evening for dinner. We sat down to eat and the other guys I was with ordered the regular--steak, french fries and beer. The meal cost, if memory serves, about a buck twenty-five. Even back then an equivalent steak dinner in the states cost five to eight dollars, so that was quite a deal. I was tired of steaks and wanting something ethnic when I noticed a Greek soldier sitting at a table across the room from us. He was hunched over what looked like a large flat soup bowl and hungrily devouring what I concluded had to be something really good given how he was eating it.
"I want what he's having," I told Seafi. He calmly looked over at the soldier, shrugged his shoulders and went back in the kitchen. A few moments later he came back to our table and plopped a bottle of
in front of me. Again, for those of you unfamiliar with Greece,
is a common wine-like beverage that I think tastes like turpentine. If you look it up on Wiki or About.com you will find that it is a "resinated" beverage that goes back to antiquity. Frankly, I think they should have kept it back there. That's when I noticed the bottle of Retsina sitting on the table in front of the soldier who was still greedily eating what I was attempting to try.
"Not the Retsina", I told Seafi, "what he is eating!" Seafi then asked, surprised, "Beans? You want beans?"
"Yes," I replied emphatically, I want beans!" He shrugged his shoulders again and gave me a "crazy American" look and went back in the kitchen. When he emerged again he had a large plate in his hand just like the one that the Greek soldier had been eating from. As he set it in front of me I saw that it was green beans and finely diced tomatoes. It was absolutely delicious and now I know that it is called:
Fassolakia Ladera
. When the bill came I realized why the Greek soldier had been eating it and why Seafi was so surprised that I wanted it--it was less than twenty-five cents!

Carrot Sweets Recipes
Halwa Dessert Empanada Recipe (International Desserts)
My father-in-law loves Indian sweets, so we make gajar halwa (carrot Indian sweets) very often at home. There was still leftover by the end of the day, and you know my motto: "waste not, want not!". I've made a carrot cheesecake recently using halwa. This time, I was inspired by the pistachio galettes des Rois I made earlier this year. I addded ground pistachios and kewra to keep the Indian-themed ingredients and folded the halwa mixture as if I was making a tarte amandine, using a different type of nut cream. I finally wrapped the carrot cream in puff pastry, empanada-style and can be served with powdered sugar or drizzled with kewra syrup.
These little puff pastries pair perfectly with hot mint tea. Next time you have friends over for tea, this is the perfect treats that are both so unique and reminiscent of oriental sweets. Enjoy!

David Grimason Arms Trade Treaty campaigner
27th Jul 2012
For two years I was a dad. Then a man pulled out an illegal gun and started firing.
My son Alistair was asleep in his pram inside the cafe in Turkey. He wasn't the gunman's target, but a bullet pierced his lung and Alistair died soon after. That single moment nine years ago changed my life forever.
I wonder every day what Alistair would be like, what he would be doing, who his friends would be. Like me, Alistair was robbed of so much that day. Four weeks ago I arrived at the United Nations in New York. I have been here as the world tries to regulate the flow in conventional arms for the very first time. It has not been an easy process, bringing about lasting change never is. But I believe there is no stronger argument for a strong treaty than the human cost of the arms trade.
Over the last month I have been trying to speak out for the victims, like Alistair, who no longer can.To me, an Arms Trade Treaty makes so much sense I find it bizarre we don't have one already. So much time and effort is spent on developing new weapons, yet so little care or attention has been put into making sure they are not abused.
As the talks reach their conclusion today, negotiators must ensure the final text is not weakened beyond repair. Worryingly, the draft presented earlier this week was riddled with loopholes. Fundamentally, it excluded many of the world's most lethal items and would allow many transfers of weapons to take place outside of the Treaty's protections.
Even a strong treaty won't end violence, genocide and human rights abuses, but it will be colossal step in the right direction. For the first time, it will set an international standard that governments and civil society can use to hold accountable those who sell weapons irresponsibly. It will mean governments would have to block the transfer of arms if there is a substantial risk they will be used to violate human rights, humanitarian law, or if they could impede development. It will also help prevent the flow of weapons into lawless areas plagued by conflict, by
closing the many loopholes immoral businessmen now use to navigate with impunity. Crucially, a strong treaty must also control the flow of ammunition - failing to do this makes no sense.
And this isn't just about Alistair. Every day throughout the world around 2,000 people die from armed violence - the majority of these deaths are in countries not at war. These figures are disgusting and unacceptable. Deep down even the opponents of this treaty must know that's the case.
UK Governments - past and present - have been supportive of this treaty and have pushed for it. At the start of the talks I met with the Foreign office Minister Alistair Burt and he made a personal promise to me that the UK would do all it can to secure the strongest possible treaty. Since then states such as Iran and Syria who oppose this treaty have been doing everything they can to block progress.
And I am worried the UK will now compromise too far. I demand the UK remains at the forefront of championing a strong treaty and do not let others weaken it. The UK - along with the other countries at these talks - has a responsibility to deliver. It will be shameful if they don't.
Tell the UK to stand firm on the Arms Trade Treaty:
Arms control,
Arms Trade Treaty

The big step this time is the release of Koha 1.3.3, a development release of the branch destined to become Koha 2.0. This release features many bug fixes, improvements to MARC handling, and French, Spanish, and Polish translations (not yet complete but hey, this *is* a development release.) This will be the last 1.3.X release. The next schedule release will be 1.9.0 marking feature completion for the 2.0.0 release."
Paul writes: "We've just released Koha 1.3.2, the next alpha version of the forthcoming 2.0 series. This release features many improvments in MARC management from 1.3.1; acquisition.simple now works; you can upload marc files in a breeding farm; for ISBN/ISSN search in the acquisition screen, with the "New biblio" option and the biblio is in the breeding farm, it's automatically retrieved and can be modified; installer now install marc21 in english or unimarc in french datas; marc parameters complete documentation.
If the 2.0 release sounds exciting to you and you've got some MARC, Perl, or HTML background, please consider jumping in and helping with 2.0 development. There are opportunities for people of all skill levels."
PhpMyLibrary-2.0.2-1 w/ISIS2MARC
Polerio writes: "The ISIS2MARC application has been added to speed up converiting CDS/ISIS records into MARC format. The ISIS2MARC can be used by other library software which is MARC compatible. polGenSQL has been modified. Its function allows the librarian to convert MARC data to sql commands compatible to PhpMyLibrary database structure."
Polerio writes: "PhpMyLibrary-2.0.1 has been Released. Its major enhancements: multi-admin support; library user picture upload; database structure changed; polGenSQL (MARC2PhpMyLibrarySQL) revised; content management added."
Polerio writes: "Changes to PhpMyLibrary include: an Online Reservation module has been created; this will allow borrowers to reserve the book they want to borrow online. The Python polGenSQL program was also included to speed up the importing of MARC records. A Nuke-like themes system has been adapted. Post/PHP Nuke themes can be used even if on a non-nuked site. This is now a full package library automation software which consists of three core modules and the WebOPAC, Cataloging, and Reservation modules."
Pate writes: "Koha 1.3.0 has been released. This release marks the beginning of public development and testing of the MARC compliant Koha we've been Looking forward to. As the 1.3 releases stabilize and reach feature completion, they will become Koha 1.4. This is an alpha quality release only. If you are want to use Koha in a production setting, please stick with the stable 1.2 release until the 1.3 series stabilizes enough for us to create Koha 1.4.0. Significant new features in this release include: data is stored natively in a MARC based format; multiple flavors of MARC are supported; enhanced API supports both the new MARC format and the older Koha specific format. From a users perspective, this release should look just like a 1.2 series release. All of the work so far has been in redesigning the data format and extending the API. User visible changes will be included once the infrastructure has stabilized."
A Fistful of Koha
Pat writes: "The Nelsonville Public Library, which serves 36,000 active borrowers from seven branches, is migrating to Koha. Their one year migration plan includes an investment in Koha development. More information can be found at www.linuxpr.com/releases/5053.html.
Because of growing efforts with Koha in France, a french language koha mailing list has been started. You can subscribe at firstname.lastname@example.com.
A similar level of interest has developed in Germany, and a german language mailing list has also been created. Again, to subscribe send mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.
For more information about Koha, please see the Koha homepage."
pate writes: "Koha 1.2.2 has been released. Special thanks (again) to Steve Tonnesen, who drove this release to completion. 1.2.2 is a significant bug squashing release. Many people have combined in testing this release, and we expect it to be the best Koha yet! you'll like what you see. We plan on continuing to improve Koha, and would love to have you come along on this exciting journey. As always, downloads and more information are available from: sf.net/projects/koha/." Fixes include improved checkvalidisbn() routine and marc upload, several installer/upgrade improvements, and more.
Koha 1.2.0
Pat writes: "The Koha project has released version 1.2.0 of Koha, its library system. This release features many bugfixes and a great deal of new functionality. Due to the new installer script and changes in the file layout, this should be the easiest Koha to install or upgrade."
Polerio writes: "PhpMyLibrary is a PHP/MySQL Web based library automation application. The program consists of cataloging (for handling adding/editing/deleting/searching of materials), circulation (so the librarian can handle user related management items), and the webpac module (where the World searches the catalog of your library). The program also has an import export feature, and strictly follows the USMARC standard for adding materials.
Changes: This version now contains the Cataloging module, which lets a librarian add, edit, and delete catalog entries. It can also modify or delete existing imported catalog entries. A Holdings module was also added, enabling a librarian to add, edit, and delete accession numbers of specific materials. The Record Import module was enhanced so that it can import a library's existing ISIS files. The JavaScript in the WebPAC module has been enhanced."

Camp in Style: Luxury Outdoor Gear from Snow Peak
We have been known to roll our eyes at the concept of "glamping" (glamorous camping); isn't roughing it part of the fun of outdoor excursions? But we must admit we're pretty smitten with this beautiful range of outdoor furniture, cookware, and tableware from Snow Peak. The luxury branding – and price tag – might seem frivolous, but when you consider the thoughtful, long-lasting nature of the designs, we think they're actually quite sensible.
Founded by Yamai Yukio in 1958, the Japanese company designs and manufactures outdoor furniture, kitchens, cookware, and other products and recently introduced its "Luxury Camping" line in the US. At the recent Dwell on Design show in Los Angeles, we were particularly drawn to Snow Peak's bamboo tables, an iron grill table with modular, customizable components, and beautifully simple tools, from handcrafted wooden bowls to collapsible chopsticks to a portable cutting board and knife combo. If glamping means supporting timeless design, we're all for it!

88-Year-Old Doctor Still Charges Five Dollars an Appointment
The extent to which health care costs have risen over the last few decades is staggering. But thanks to Dr. Russell Dohner, the 3,500 residents of Rushville, Illinois get their health care at an old-fashioned price.
The 88-year-old, who has been practicing medicine in Rushville with the same nurse for 57 years, still charges five dollars an appointment. And that's the total cost, not the copay.
Donher, who says the total number of babies he's delivered in Rushville exceeds the town's current population, also works seven days a week. And he's never taken a vacation, which is one of the reasons he is able to to keep his prices so low.
"You know, frankly, I've never spent much money for going on trips or stuff like that," Dr. Dohner explained.
When Dohner started out he was only charging two dollars a visit. That fee rose to five dollars in the seventies, something Dohner almost seems apologetic about.
Dohner became a physician because he was impressed with the doctor who cared for him when he got sick as boy so many years ago. Now, approaching 90, Dohner has no plans to stop inspiring others to get into the medical profession.
"I guess I don't know what I'd be doing if I wasn't doctoring," he admitted. Learn more about this unique man of medicine in the video below.

UPDATED: NH attorney general says Dover police shooting justifiedBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 22. 2013 7:49PM
State authorities said Tuesday that Dover police were justified last month when they wounded Frank Thompson during a shootout at his Northway Circle apartment. The shootout preceded his suicide.
Thompson, 50, died Sept. 30 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to an autopsy. The shootout involved Dover police and New Hampshire State Police troopers and was followed by tear-gas volleys into his apartment and the deployment of a remotely operated police robot.
"When the officers fired their weapons, each did so in response to the gunfire directed by Frank Thompson in their direction or in the direction of their fellow officers," reads the conclusion of a six-page summary into Attorney General Joseph Foster's investigation. "And, though they directed deadly force towards Thompson, he did not in fact die from police gunfire, but by a self-inflicted gunshot wound from his own gun."
Thompson had received a gunshot wound to his lower abdomen and probably would have survived it had he surrendered and received medical attention, the summary reads. Assistant Attorney General Janice Rundles said it's likely Thompson received the wound from police, but that may never be certain.
The report also raises questions about Thompson's mental state.
Tests found the presence of several prescription drugs in his system, drugs used to fight pain, anxiety and depression. One neighbor described Thompson as "in a psychotic state;" another said he looked strange and his eyes were not right.
When a neighbor entered his apartment to borrow a cup of sugar, he struck her in the head with a hammer three times.
Rundles, who oversaw the investigation, said she has no official information about whether Thompson was being treated for a mental illness, but she noted the drugs in his system — acetaminophen, hydrocodone, tramadol, klonopin, and cymbalta — are consistent with mental illness.
She said there is not likely to be much further investigation, and she does not believe his illness would have disqualified him from a weapon purchase. Rundles said federal authorities did a trace on the black High Point .45-caliber handgun and determined he purchased it.
The summary names the officers involved in the shootout — Dover police Lt. Brad Gould, Officer Andrew Choi and state police Trooper Christopher Storm. Rundles said they were on paid leave until the shooting was deemed justified.
According to emails that Thompson's family shared with investigators, he had suspected a neighbor, Misty Sullivan, 32, of stealing money from him. He wrote about possibly executing her and shooting police if they tried to bully him out of the apartment.
After being struck by the hammer, Sullivan fled Thompson's apartment, only to have him grab her in the hall, she told police. Thompson told Sullivan she would die if she wouldn't be with him. When her mother and step-father, who lived across the hall, came to her rescue, Thompson pointed a handgun at them.
They retreated into their apartment and called police.
When police arrived, several stayed outside with rifles, while others inside the apartment building told Thompson to exit peacefully. At one point he said "no thank you."
Police heard the deadbolt unlock, the door opened, and Thompson fired at police.
Gould and Storm returned fire from the hallway. Choi, who was at the back entrance, fired with a rifle.
Later, Gould realized that a bullet had pierced his pant leg.
Dover police, state police and the Strafford Regional Tactical Operations Unit then brought in the state police robot. After two volleys of teargas were shot into the apartment, the robot entered and found Thompson on the bed, breathing and in a fetal position.
The robot tried to remove covers to see if he was holding a gun. But Thompson rolled out of the bed onto the floor and crawled into the living room. Police shouted through bullhorns for him to exit the apartment and receive medical attention.
But he found his gun, shot at a closet and then put it to the left side of his chest and pulled the trigger.
"Officers directing the robot could see that Thompson's gun was now in the "lock back" (empty) position. They therefore directed the robot to retrieve the gun from Thompson's hand and bring it out of the apartment," the summary reads.
Police then entered the apartment, moved Thompson into the hallway and determined he was dead.

Making this jacket is really out of my comfort zone. I am taking an advance sewing class and this is my project. I am going to line it and I know this is going to be a challenge. I see that your jacket is lined. Do you have any suggestions since the pattern does not have lining pattern pieces?
Your jacket is very lovely. Nice job !

Thank you. The first time I made a lined jacket I used a pattern that included lining pattern pieces and directions. That was really how I learned to sew in a lining. After that it was simple to line any jacket that I wanted.

Two-student gain boosts enrollment
District 20 opened school doors Tuesday.
Enrollment rose slightly when Gothenburg Public School students reported for the first day of classes Tuesday morning.
Two more students were added to this year's roster compared to last year, boosting enrollment to 912 compared to 910 on the first day in 2009.
"It's not a very firm number," said superintendent Mike Teahon, noting that students often enroll in and leave the district throughout the month.
Enrollment figures on Friday, Sept. 24, will be more important, Teahon said, as that is when the number of students registered for classes are sent into the Nebraska Department of Education.
State aid allocations are determined from those numbers.
Since 2000, the number of students K-12 has risen steadily at Gothenburg Public Schools except for drops in 2002 and 2003.
By far, the seniors make up the biggest class this year with 84 students compared to 58 last year.
The group of students has been large as the class has advanced through the grades.

Interviewed by Andy Hirsch
LEWISBURG, Pa. — Chris Magee, professor of economics, discusses the state of the economy, and how it can help predict the next president of the United States.
Question: What can the state of the economy tell us about who will win in November?
Answer: There are some models out there that have been predicting elections for decades. The Ray Fair Model looks at how a variety of economic factors relate to the incumbent party. The general theory is simple; if the economy is doing well, voters reward the incumbent party and re-elect them to office. If the economy is doing poorly, voters throw out the incumbent party and replace them with their challengers.
But history suggests that some of the things we think and talk about a lot, and that get a lot of attention from the media, don't really seem to matter when it comes to elections. The unemployment rate is a good example. Surprisingly, it doesn't seem to matter all that much what the unemployment rate is. What matters is how fast the economy is growing, and particularly how fast the economy is growing during the year of the election. Voters don't seem to reward the incumbents much for fast economic growth early on in their term. During the first half of Jimmy Carter's time in office, the economy was doing well and growing at a pretty fast rate. But he experienced a mild recession closer to the election and he ended up losing. Then Reagan came in and there was a pretty severe recession early on in his term. But the economy was growing rapidly in 1984, an election year, and Reagan won re-election by a landslide. People felt good about the state of the economy at the time of the election, and that's what really seems to matter.
Another factor that's a bit surprising is the focus voters seem to place on the national economy, versus the economy where they live and work. Economists often think people are going to be happy if they're doing well personally, and reward whoever is in office. But the research suggests that voters pay more attention to the economy as a whole and, based on that, form their perceptions of the party in power.
Q: How accurate are the economic models in predicting elections?
A: I give the economy a lot of predictive power. Some models claim to be extremely accurate. The Ray Fair model, which has been in use since the 1970s, using data that goes back to 1916, says you can predict over 90 percent of the variation in how well the incumbent party will do, based on the state of the economy. I think that overstates things a bit because he set up the model to predict the past elections accurately and there is no guarantee that the same model will be the best predictor of future elections. But the fact that you can predict past elections so well using reasonable economic variables does suggest that economic factors are the main driving force of the election. If you truly know the state of the economy, I think it's safe to say you can predict most elections fairly well, with the remainder being decided by the personalities of the candidates and external, random factors that pop up during a campaign.
Q: Based on how the economy is doing, what do you expect this November?
A: All signs point to a very close election. From a Republican's perspective, people's perception of the economy is still pretty poor. Most people see the economy as still largely being in a recession. And unemployment is still high, so when people are polled about what they feel the state of the economy is, they give it poor marks, as they probably should.
But there are several economic factors that are favorable to President Obama. The economy is growing this year. Historically we'd expect to see it expand more rapidly coming out of a recession, but it's still growing. Inflation has been very low over the past four years, and that seems to be linked to how well the incumbent party does. Finally, when you have an incumbent who is up for re-election that typically gives the party in office a boost. So in 2008, for example, George Bush couldn't run again, so there was no incumbent, and that tended to favor the party out of power (the Democrats at the time).
The polls right now have President Obama ahead of Governor Romney by about four percentage points nationally. The economic indicators suggest that the final vote will be much closer than that, but right now I think the odds are that President Obama will narrowly win re-election.
