Martyrology-August 18th
Roman Martyrology-August 18th- on this date in various years-
At Palestrina, the birthday of the holy martyr Agapitus. Although only fifteen years of age, because he was fervent in the love of Christ, he was arrested by order of Emperor Aurelian, and scourged for a long time. Afterwards, under the prefect Antiochus, he endured more severe torments, and being delivered to the lions by the emperor's order without receiving any injury, he was finally struck with the sword, and thus merited his crown.
At Rome, during the persecution of Diocletian, the blessed John and Crispus, priests, who charitably buried the bodies of many saints; afterwards becoming partakers of their merits, they deserved the joys of eternal life.
In the same city, the holy martyrs Hermas, Serapion, and Polyaenus. Being dragged through narrow, stony, and rough places, they yielded up their souls to God.
In Illyria, the holy martyrs Florus and Laurus, stonecutters, who, after the martyrdom of Proculus and Maximus, their employers, were subjected to many torments under the governor Licion, and plunged into a deep well.
At Myra in Lycia, the holy martyrs Leo and Juliana.
At Metz in France, St. Firmin, bishop and confessor.
At Rome, on the Via Lavicana, St. Helena, mother of the religious emperor Constantine the Great, who was the first to set the example to other princes of protecting and extending the Church.
And elsewhere in divers places, many other holy martyrs, confessors, and holy virgins.
R. Thanks be to God.

The Good and the Bad of this past week.
It's Friday. So we close out the "Week That Was" with our latest volume of… "Cheers and Jeers!"
This week, I keep it close to home with some cheers and jeers to my boys from Maple Ridge and CanucksArmy.
JEERS to
Roberto Luongo @strombone1 for a major gaffe last night, one for which required several apologies. In a small back and forth with Province blogger SteveintheKT, strombone said that "pumping ur own tires is gay" as in stupid/dumb (I'd link to the tweet, but immediately and sensibly deleted it). While obviously not meant to be malicious, it really was quite an idiotic ting to say, given his position as a public figure and well-known athlete. He immediately apologized publicly and even DM'd a few folks with personal apologies. That's the correct way to atone for a major mistake.
CHEERS to Harrison Mooney for the Canucks blogging "get" of the year for his interview with
Roberto Luongo @strombone1. Mooney asked the Canucks goaltender Twitter funnyman a series of questions via DM and posted the exceptional interview on Pass It To Bulis yesterday, which was a major coup for PITB and Mooney. Kudos, man. Amazing stuff.
JEERS to the truly bizarre ending to Game 3 of Calder Cup final involving the Toronto Marlies and the Norfolk Admirals. The Admirals' Mike Kostka fired the puck in to the Marlies zone while one of his teammates was in an offside position. Marlies goalie Ben Scrivens, sensing that he had time to safely play the puck, went to the back boards to control the puck for his defenceman. However, the puck took an inexplicable deflection of a stanchion and rolled awkwardly into the Marlies open net. Yeah… and it was in overtime so that was the game-winning goal. The problem is not that the goal went in. The problem is that the goal should never have counted since the Admirals player was offside when the puck was shot in. And the AHL has admitted that the goal shouldn't have counted, but that they cannot reverse the decision based on their own rules. It was a truly heartbreaking way for the Marlies to lose that game, and are now down 3-0 to the Admirals in the final series.
CHEERS to Dallas Eakins, head coach of the Marlies, for unbelievable poise and calm in reacting post-game to the goal. Sure, we would all love the theater if Eakins went completely ballistic. It would be wildly entertaining and would be shown on YouTube for years to come. But Eakins earns a massive kudos for taking the highest of high roads, especially based on his comments today via twitter, where he stated, "Never forget that @TheAHL is a developmental league for the referees as well. Players and coaches have made mistakes. We all move on." Well done, Mr. Eakins.
JEERS to Charlie Sheen for being an idiot. Like several celebrities, he made his way to the Kings/Devils game on Wednesday, because, y'know, it's the scene, man. Anyway, the dummy goes outside for a smoke, not understanding or knowing that there are no in/out privileges at Staples Center. Of course, the Staples Center employees, doing their job as they should, prevented the wastoid dweebie dickhead went nuts and started yelling at everybody because he supposed to be allowed to break the rules. I do not adore you. I do not think you are a righteous dude. No, Carlos Esteves, I think you're a complete dummy.
CHEERS to Metta World Peace (formerly known as Ron Artest) for his love for Vancouver *AND* his spin as Vancouver meteorologist on CTV news. MWP has been in Vancouver for several days now, and has been extoling the virtues of our fair city, despite the horrific weather we've been suffering lately. In fact, MWP is all in favour of the dreary conditions, because, he's all about the trees and earth and stuff. Please he's taken to twitter to invite fans to dinner with him. I've gone on record as not being a basketball fan, but given his love for Lotus Land and his turn on the local news, I'm now a fan of Metta World Peace.
JEERS to CanucksArmy's own Thomas Drance for proliferating a fake tweet! GASP! Our very own fact checker and stickler for correctness got duped by bad facts! Earlier this week, Papa Army found a screenshot of a Chris Brown tweet where the famous singer/misogynistic-woman-hater picked a fight with Cher and warned her that she needed a slap. The only problem was… it wasn't real. It was generated using a fake tweet generator. Thomas's tweet was then re-sent by a WHOLE LOT of folks, including Bruce Arthur, prompting Arthur to go on a tirade about Brown and #teambreezy. Tsk, tsk, Thomas.
CHEERS to CanucksArmy's own Cam Charron for his new role as the leader of LeafsNation, our Leafs counterparts on the Nation Network. Cam recently relocated to Toronto and is now set to bring LeafsNation to the forefront of the stats-based blog world, much like he helped do here at CanucksArmy. We are proud. We would be even more proud if Cam didn't already have 900 other blogging jobs too.

April 2, 2014 — Planned Parenthood of Arizona and Tucson Women's Center on Tuesday asked a federal appeals court to block medication abortion restrictions in Arizona while a lawsuit over their constitutionality continues, the New York Times reports (Schwartz, New York Times, 4/1).
The law took effect Tuesday after U.S. District Court Judge David Bury denied a request from women's health providers to block them while a trial continued. Bury said the rules do not unduly burden women because they can still access surgical abortion.
The medication abortion rules -- which are among several abortion-related regulations mandated under a 2012 state law (HB 2036) -- bar physicians from administering abortion-inducing drugs beyond seven weeks of pregnancy. Physicians also would be required to administer both drugs in the medication abortion regimen on site and at the FDA-approved dosage, which is higher than the dosage typically used in practice (Women's Health Policy Report, 4/1).
On Tuesday, the Center for Reproductive Rights, which represents the plaintiffs, filed an appeal of Bury's ruling with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (Galvan, AP/Sacramento Bee, 4/1).
David Brown, an attorney with CRR, said in a statement, "Arizona women should not be denied their constitutional rights or their ability to get critical health care from the medical professionals they trust while this unconstitutional law continues to make its way through the courts" (Muskal, Los Angeles Times, 4/1).
Effects on Services
Last week, an attorney with Planned Parenthood told Bury that the organization's center in Flagstaff would have to suspend services if the rules took effect. However, a Planned Parenthood spokesperson on Monday said that the clinic will remain in operation while the organization evaluates how to move forward.
According to Planned Parenthood, about 800 women seeking abortion in 2012 would have had to undergo surgical abortions if the rules blocking medication abortions had been in effect at that time (AP/Sacramento Bee, 4/1).

The great American road trip
Long road trips are a guilty pleasure in the era of climate change. It's one thing to recycle, buy organic, and switch light bulbs, but to give up the car altogether? Travel feels essential to an American's experience of the world, and for most of us, travel means driving. Author W. Scott Olsen — who loves to drive, the farther the better — admits that his preferred mode of seeing the country is a "contradiction that cannot finally be resolved. But contradiction does not mean lack of purpose or hope."
Describing several trips, ranging the continent from Death Valley to Kansas City to the Alaska Highway, Olsen stirs our own memories of the road, that sense of the leaving and returning to the places we have known. But At Speed is more than simply a book about miles logged. It's a subtle exploration of the experience of movement. Much of what we know about the landscape comes through the windshield at highway speed, and instead of apologizing for this limited viewpoint, Olsen embraces it. The difference between local knowledge and chasing the horizon is only a matter of scale: "If the goal is to see a little bit of the whole world, then speed, to a point, is grace." Not coincidentally, his writing is spirited, smooth and fast.
Most Westerners are used to long drives, and we value that experience in spite of ourselves. Being conversant with open spaces requires a large regional sensibility, and driving is a way of filling in the landscape that soon takes on a life of its own. Olsen meets with geologists and chats with hotel clerks, but specific places are usually relegated to the rearview mirror in favor of being on the move. Finding meaning in place has been the theme of much contemporary writing, including some of Olsen's previous work, but At Speed suggests that the spaces in between also tell us where we are.
Seeing the landscape informs the imagination. But how do you justify driving from Key West to Prudhoe Bay? "I tell people I live in North America," Olsen explains. "But, I don't really know what North America looks like."

President Vladimir Putin on Friday signed a law banning Americans from adopting Russian children.
A move that abruptly ended prospects of joining new families for more than 50 Russian children is the backlash from a new American law that some Russians feel is "a gross interference in their internal affairs," a local expert says.
President Vladimir Putin on Friday signed a law banning Americans from adopting Russian children. Russian lawmakers view the move as a way to "get back at the United States" for a law targeting human rights violators, said Eugene Huskey, a professor of political science in the Russian Studies program at Stetson University.
But the Russian law, which takes effect Jan. 1, will mean 52 children who were in the pipeline for U.S. adoption will remain in Russia, children's rights ombudsman Pavel Astakhov told the Associated Press.
The tension dates back to 1974, when the U.S. passed the Jackson-Vanik Amendment, Huskey said. The law "was crafted to put pressure on the Soviet Union for human rights abuses" but became a point of friction between Russia and the U.S., according to the Council on Foreign Relations website.
Earlier this month, President Barack Obama signed a law that calls for sanctions against Russians assessed to be human rights violators. The measure eliminates the long-obsolete 1974 law and opens new export opportunities for American businesses, but includes a section that would refuse visas and freeze financial assets for officials guilty of human rights violations.
The new American law stems from the case of Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian lawyer who was arrested after accusing officials of a $230 million tax fraud. He was repeatedly denied medical treatment and died in jail in 2009. Russian rights groups claimed he was severely beaten.
Some Russians feel the new American law is more offensive than the 1974 amendment, Huskey said. Many Americans don't understand "the great sensitivity that Russians have to being treated in ways that they believe don't befit the status of a great power," he said.
"They see themselves, understandably, as a great power and they don't want to be scolded by the parliament of another country," Huskey said.
But critics say Russian lawmakers are using children as political pawns and jeopardizing their hopes of finding loving parents. UNICEF estimates there are about 740,000 children not in parental custody in Russia while about 18,000 Russians are on the waiting list to adopt a child. The U.S. is the biggest destination for adopted Russian children — more than 60,000 of them have been taken in by Americans over the past two decades.
Michael Shorstein of Shorstein and Kelly, an adoption law firm with offices in Daytona Beach and Jacksonville, called the ban on U.S. adoptions "a disgrace." Shorstein's practice focuses on domestic adoptions, but he's worked with parents who are deciding whether to adopt children from the U.S. or go abroad.
"It's a lose-lose situation for us, but most importantly for the children," Shorstein said.
Russians historically have been less enthusiastic about adopting children than most Western cultures. Putin, along with signing the adoption ban, on Friday issued an order for the government to develop a program to provide more support for adopted children.
There may be many reasons Russians are more reluctant than Americans to adopt children, but living conditions in Russia likely are one factor, Huskey said.
"Most Russians live in apartments where they don't have an extra bedroom," he said. "It's not a three-bedroom, two-bath world there."
Additionally, some Russians view American adoptions as "a black mark on Russia itself" because they feel it shows they can't care for their own children, Huskey said.
Though high-profile cases of American parents mistreating adopted Russian children are rare, Russians are especially cognizant of these situations, he said. The new Russian law was dubbed the "Dima Yakovlev Bill" after a toddler who died in 2008 when his American adoptive father left him in a car in broiling heat for hours. In that case, the father was found not guilty of involuntary manslaughter and Russia has complained of acquittals or light sentences in other such cases.
A different case about a Tennessee mother who sent her 7-year-old adopted son on a plane back to Russia in 2010 garnered international attention.
"Anytime there is a story like this it is played to the hilt by nationalist forces in Russia," Huskey said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Alexis Bledel Joins Fox Comedy Pilot
Friends & Family, with Jason Ritter.
Alexis Bledel and Vincent Kartheiser may have ended up together, but her Mad Men arc seemed pretty complete by the end of season five. So it's good news she's landed her first TV lead since Gilmore Girls, on Fox's single-camera comedy pilot Friends & Family opposite Jason Ritter (Parenthood, Joan of Arcadia). The show, an adaptation of the British series Gavin & Stacey, details the essential moments in the life of a couple trying "to maintain their relationship while combining their polarizing families' lives."

The noonhour seminars sponsored every Wednesday through March 10 by the Department of Entomology, University of California, Davis, are drawing widespread interest.
And delightedly so.
Many faculty, students and staff make it a point to attend the 12:10 to 1 p.m. sessions in 122 Briggs Hall, Kleiber Drive, or they listen to the live Webcasts. Most, but not all lectures are being Webcast. (Exceptions: lectures containing unpublished data.)
On Wednesday, Jan. 13, tropical arthropod ecologist Steve Yanoviak with the Department of Biology, University of Arkansas, Little Rock, will speak on "Ecology and Behavior of Tropical Arboreal Ants."
Yanoviak does research in the rain forests of Peru. He recently returned with a fun image of himself (the exuberance expressed in this photo would prompt anyone to want to study ants!) and an image of an arboreal ant, Cephalotes atratus (above). He will be hosted by graduate students Michael Branstetter and Bonnie Blaimer, who study with professor and ant specialist Phil Ward.
Graduate student Ian Pearse of professor Rick Karban's lab is coordinating the winter noonhour seminars. Fellow graduate students James Harwood and Amy Morice, who study with professor James Carey, are devoting their time and talents to Webcasting the seminars. Folks can also access the archived Webcasts dating back to February 2009.
Here's the winter quarter schedule, which includes the live link to the Webcasts.Arboreal ants! Bring 'em on!

If you see a doe walk out over the next week or so, you might want to wait a few moments before pulling the trigger. There's a chance a buck of a lifetime might be following close behind.
That's exactly what happened to Heath Gunther, a 24-year-old James Islander, while hunting last Tuesday evening at a property south of Charleston.
Gunther was hunting solo, since his regular hunting partner, his grandfather Thomas McFadden, was out of town.
"It was the first time since opening day that I was hunting with my rifle," the avid bowhunter said. "And thank goodness I did."
Seconds after a doe appeared about 75 yards from his stand, a big buck sporting a wide, non-typical rack stepped out behind her.
Gunther hit the bruiser with a round from his .270 Winchester Short Magnum; the buck ran a few feet and piled up in a ditch.
"I didn't realize how big he really was until I pulled all the moss and vines off his rack."
The 154-pound buck was obviously rutting, Gunther said. "His neck was swollen and his tarsal glands were stinking really bad."
Gunther's story serves as a classic example of why Lowcountry deer hunters will move heaven and earth to sit in a treestand in late October.
The rut usually peaks about now, and big bucks throughout coastal counties should be throwing caution to the wind as they chase does.
Michael Cordray, owner of Cordray's Venison Processing at 6708 County Line Road near Ravenel, said he and his crew have been working a lot of deer so far this season.
The rut, he said, seems to have started a bit early, and "has already peaked in some places but is still building in others."
"I was curious if it would be a longer rut or if it would slack off then start back up again. I'm a little bit baffled, to be honest, and curious to see what happens."
Like many other local venison processors and hunters, Cordray thinks that after "a good cold snap, it will be a full-bore."
Trey Hoffman, co-owner of Palmetto Processing off U.S. Highway 17A between Moncks Corner and Summerville, said he thinks we're a week away from the peak of the rut.
"They're chasing does and everything, but I don't think it's really happened yet."
Hoffman said they're having an average season so far, with slightly fewer deer but more bucks coming in.
"We had 23 deer the other night, and only one or two were does."
Leo Martin, owner of Big Buck Horn Deer Processing on North Fraser Street outside Georgetown, said their processing orders are a little up.
He's noticed a trend of bigger-bodied deer, especially from the Kingstree area.
"Seems like they've got a little more fat on them. They must be feeding them well," he said with a laugh.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - An attorney for Pittsburgh's police union says more pictures and video have surfaced showing what happened before a city officer punched a woman at the city's gay pride parade and festival last month.
Fraternal Order of Police attorney Bryan Campbell says the other images show 19-year-old Ariel Lawther pushing a preacher who was protesting the event before she grabbed and pushed at the officer she accuses of wrongfully striking her.
The officer, Souroth Chatterji, remains on restricted duty during an internal investigation.
A 14-second video posted on Facebook showed the officer grabbing Lawther by the hair and punching her in the side. Campbell says that was necessary to subdue Lawther.
Her criminal defense attorney didn't immediately return a call for comment Monday. She faces a preliminary hearing Aug. 11.

Stanley is tied up with baseball right now and that's limited his visits of late. His last trip was to North Carolina for a junior day last month. Ole Miss was his most recent offer coming in last week and he talked with Rebels coach Hugh Freeze and his offensive line coach last week. He also talked last week with USC offensive line coach Shawn Elliott and his recruiter from North Carolina. LSU recruiter John Chavis called last week but it was during a baseball game and Stanley couldn't take the call. Stanley remains open and has not formulated a favorites list.

Wildlife fauxtography
Ever wonder how photographers get those stunning action shots of wildlife? Cougars, lynxes, lions, tigers, leopards, bears, wolves, foxes, wolverines, leaping and snarling, fur coifed, every whisker in focus? If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Nature fakery in photography is older than flash powder, but no one goosed it along more than Walt Disney. In The Living Desert, footage of scorpions is run forward and backward to make it appear that they're square dancing to appropriate music. In White Wilderness, the polar bear cub tumbling down a rock-strewn mountain was thrown over the side. And believing the wives' tale that lemmings commit mass suicide, Disney paid kids to catch hundreds in Churchill, Manitoba, then transported them to Calgary, Alberta, (where lemmings don't naturally exist) and mechanically launched them off a high cliff into the Bow River, identified as "the sea."
Marlin Perkins, host of Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, and Marty Stouffer, host of the Public Broadcasting Service's Wild America, were as bad or worse. Perkins would throw tame animals into rivers, even over waterfalls, so sidekicks could "rescue" them; and Stouffer would stage ridiculous daylight battles between nocturnal species unlikely to interact at any hour.
Apologists for these early producers might have more credibility if the films weren't still being hawked in DVD and aired on TV.
Modern nature fakery is more subtle. Game farms across the nation, but mostly in the West, truck animals to distant, scenic locations where they perform for "wildlife photographers." Regulations are lax, and humane treatment lacking. Minnesota Wildlife Connection sold its black bear, Cubby, for $4,650 to country music crooner Troy Gentry, who then illegally "hunted" and killed him in his pen. State records show that a company calling itself Animals of Montana euthanized eight wolves in 2007 because they were "dangerous" -- i.e., wolflike.
Until losing its license last year, Animals of Montana was patronized by many of the nation's most prominent wildlife photographers and such notable filmmakers as the BBC, National Geographic, Dave & Di Douglas Imax producers, Turner Original Productions and Animal Planet. According to court documents, owner Troy Hyde was convicted of illegal wildlife trafficking.
"Our grizzlies love to perform [and] will amaze you by running towards the camera, standing on command, snarling viciously or posing cute," proclaims Animals of Montana's still-active Web site.
On calendars, posters and magazine pages, wildlife fauxtography proliferates like vacationers' junk mail. Many of the depicted species are endangered, but why would the public be concerned about that since it keeps encountering these animals at the bookstore, library, newsstand, subways, backs of buses and on TV? A snow leopard residing at the Triple D game farm in Kalispell, Mont., was a photographic cliché long before 2008, when an image of it won first place in the "nature" category of the National Geographic's International Photography Contest.
Magazines like Outdoor Photographer should be leading the way. Instead, it sells advertising space to game farms and, in its November 2009 issue, ran a photo of what it captioned a "rural Montana" wolf that "suddenly strayed from the pack" to sniff the photographer's camera and tripod -- something no wild Montana wolf would dream of doing. When I checked with the photographer, I learned there was no "pack" and that he'd rented the wolf in greater Bozeman -- at Animals of Montana.
Few calendar publishers or general-interest magazines seem to care how or where wildlife photos are made. Hook-and-bullet publications snap up images of captive fish leaping (to escape battery acid), or captive deer top-heavy with freakishly large antlers produced by drugs, diet supplements and selective breeding.
Still, there is minor progress. Three of the most respected nature magazines -- Audubon, National Geographic, and National Wildlife -- no longer knowingly accept game-farm shots. But accurate identification is hard because some photographers and most photo-stock houses don't label game-farm images, aware that disclosure might discourage purchase.
A new voice for honesty in wildlife photojournalism is the League of Conservation Photographers, whose director, Cristina Mittermeier, finds game farms "sickening." Equally offended are genuine wildlife photographers such as Tom Carlisle, who "cringes" when he sees "endangered species portrayed as cute, cuddly and approachable in non-habitat," and Tom Mangelsen, who says he is repulsed by the "unimaginable stress" to game-farm animals from heat, boredom, noise and odors when their cages are stacked on top of each other.
Chastened by these and other dissenters, the North American Nature Photography Association voted on Feb. 16, 2010, to cease its longtime practice of running ads for game farms, selling game farms its membership list and distributing their promo. It's a good move.

Theodore Delano Carl of Bear Creek Township and Gold Canyon, Ariz., passed away on Thursday, March 14, 2013, surrounded by his family, after a courageous battle with cancer.
A self-proclaimed "country boy," Ted was born in Bloomsburg on Jan. 10, 1937, having been named by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt himself. He graduated from Landsdowne High School and earned a degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School of Business, graduating Summa Cum Laude. A bit of a wanderer, Ted lived all over the country, but was a longtime resident of both West Chester and Littleton, Colo.
The consummate banker, with a sharp mind for numbers, Ted led and managed numerous banks and brokerage houses throughout New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Colorado, including Girard Bank, Melon Bank, Chemical Bank and First National Bank of Toms River. He spent more than 10 years at ADP, most recently serving as senior vice president of ADP-SIS in Wheat Ridge, Colo., prior to retirement. For the past 10 years, he provided consulting services to First Southwest Co. in Dallas, Texas.
Ted was dedicated to improving the lives of others in any way he could and, as such, was a member of Free and Accepted Masons Blue Lodge 436 for more than 50 years, as well as a member of Bear Creek Township Lions Club. He often could be found giving back by serving local veterans, volunteering at church functions, offering advice to neighbors and washing dishes at local Lions Club breakfasts.
He was a member of Faith Lutheran Church in Blakeslee and Gold Canyon United Methodist Church in Gold Canyon, Ariz. His personal motto was, "Remember each one of us can make a difference, every day," and he certainly did in the lives of many.
With his passing, Ted joined his son, Stephen Aaron Carl; his mother, Clara Ida Carl; and his brother, James Franklin Carl.
He loved his family above all else and leaves behind his wife, Elizabeth Sandra Carl of Bear Creek Township; a son, Christopher Ivers of Denver, Colo.; a daughter, Amanda Carl of Danbury, Conn.; and a son, Theodore Carl Jr. of Wilmington, Del., as well as a brother, Richard Carl of Dagsboro, Del., and a sister, Barbara Hastings of Greenwood, Del. In addition, he leaves behind a tremendous network of loving and caring friends, whom he not only influenced in immeasurable ways, but also considered family.
There will be no viewing. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Friday, March 22, at Advent Lutheran Church, 1601 Green Lane, West Chester. He will be laid to rest in a private burial service at 10 a.m. Saturday, March 23, at Stroudsburg Cemetery, next to his son, Stephen.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Ted's memory to Faith Lutheran Church of Blakeslee or to St. Joseph's Center in Scranton, in memory of both Ted and Stephen Carl.
With Ted's passing, the world has lost a truly special, loving and giving man. But he would tell those who mourn his death to dry their eyes, "I had a great life, I have no regrets. God was good to me."
William H. Clark Funeral Home

(UL) Unilever PLC – Momentum Stock Pick
Shares of Unilever PLC (UL) have been rising since this consumer products giant posted healthy third-quarter results, including underlying sales growth of 5.9%. In addition, this Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) reached its 52-week high of $32.96 on December 12. With rising estimates and potential long-term earnings growth of 4.9%, UL looks to be a solid momentum pick.
Solid Third Quarter Beat
On October 25, Unilever reported third quarter underlying sales growth of 5.9%, driven by both volume and pricing gains despite high input costs and a tough currency environment. Increased investment in innovation and brand building also contributed to the growth.
Organic sales in the emerging markets improved as well, with new product innovations and consistent market share in the industry. Emerging market sales grew 12.1%.
Moreover, the company expects to deliver strong volume gains, improved operating margins and solid free cash flow in spite of the uncertain economy.
Earnings Estimates Improving
Over the past 60 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2012 has risen 5.3% to $2.17 per share, as 2 of 3 estimates were revised upward. This indicates year-over-year growth of 55.5%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2013 increased 4.1% to $2.31 over the same time frame, as 2 of 3 estimates again moved upward. This reflects a year-over-year increase of 6.4%.
On a price-to-sales basis, Unilever trades at 1.89, a 57.5% premium to the peer group average of 1.2. On a price-to-book basis, Unilever trades at 5.76, a 79.4% premium to the peer group average of 3.21. However, the stock looks attractive on a return on equity (ROE) basis. It has a trailing 12-month ROE of 29.1%, which is above its peer group average of just 16.9%.
Shares of Unilever have been rising consistently since mid-November. Moreover, the stock is currently trading above its 50- and 200-day moving averages, which stand at $37.37 and $34.37, respectively. In fact, the stock has been consistently trading above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages since late-November 2012.
Volume is strong, averaging roughly 1,270K daily. Unilever has outperformed the S&P 500 in the last three months. The year-to-date return for the stock is 15.99% compared with the S&P 500's return of 12.86%.
Based in London, Unilever PLC is a subsidiary of The Unilever Group and is a leading manufacturer and marketer of consumer products. It commands market-leading positions in savory, spreads, dressings, tea, ice cream, deodorants and mass skin care product categories. Unilever's flagship brands include Axe, Lipton, Knorr, Dove, Lux, Rexona and Sunsilk, which cater to a fast growing consumer goods sector. The market cap of the company is $110.6 billion.

We Energies warns of scam
We Energies warns of scam
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from We Energies, it could be a scam.
The company said a sophisticated scheme is spreading.
We Energies said thieves have called hundreds of customers in the last year telling them there's a problem with their bill or meter.
The person asks them to buy a prepaid debit card and coaxes them into giving them the information over the phone. We Energies said it does not do that.
"We don't call you for credit card number. We don't call you for a debit number, so that should be a red flag right there that it's not going anywhere," We Energies spokesman Barry McNulty said.
We Energies said if you suspect something is wrong, hang up and call them at 800-242-9137.

Kentucky deer hunters will have lots of ground venison for chili this winter, roasts to bake and backstrap chops to grill during the summer.
That's because a record deer harvest was posted for the 2012-13 deer season, which ended Jan. 21 with the close of archery season.
Hunters killed 131,388 whitetails of which 56 percent were male and 44 percent female. Firearms hunters reported taking 95,612 deer while archers killeded 18,705 deer. Muzzleloader hunters took 14,583 deer and crossbow hunters, 2,488 deer.
The previous record of 124,752 occurred during the 2004-05 season.
"We had exceptionally good weather, with no rainouts over the three weekends of modern gun season this past November," said David Yancy, deer biologist for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. "Coupled with that, we had an average to below average mast (acorn) crop. Deer had to search for food and that made it more likely they would be seen by hunters."
Looking over the harvest data, Yancy said the increase in the number of deer taken by firearms hunters really jumps out and is the number one reason for the overall harvest record.
"Firearms hunters bagged 12,249 more deer than last season," he said. During the 2011-12 deer season, Kentucky firearms hunters took 83,363 deer. This season the total spiked to 95,612.
Archers also experienced an excellent season.
Archery hunters arrowed 18,705 deer, the fourth consecutive harvest record dating back to the 2009-10 season.
A longer than normal season may have contributed to this year's record archery harvest. "Because of calendar shift, there was an extra seven days of hunting," Yancy. "Bow season opened on Sept. 1, the earliest it could have been."
Archery season for deer opens on the first Saturday in September and continues through the third Monday in January. On average, that's about 136 days of hunting.
The 2013-14 archery season dates are Sept. 7 through Jan. 20, 2014.
Prior to the 2012-13 deer season, Kentucky's deer herd was estimated to number about 850,000, a decrease from one million in 2003.
Good habitat, aggressive doe harvest and the one-buck limit are thought to be the main reasons for the development of Kentucky's quality deer herd. This herd grants good hunting opportunities in all 120 Kentucky counties.
Looking forward to next season, Yancy said odds are the deer harvest will remain within the statistical range of recent seasons.
"At this point, weather and the size of the mast crop or the availability of acorns are more of a factor in how many deer will be taken, than the actual size of the deer herd," explained Yancy. "Our herd has stabilized."
With hope, that stabilization will produce more harvest records next deer season.

Wild Horse hosts seniors event
For Jim Berry of Grand Island, any day is a great day to golf at Wild Horse Golf Club, especially if the wind isn't blowing.
More than 100 golfers 50 and older gathered at Wild Horse Thursday for one of the Central Nebraska Senior Golf Association's 30 meets.
Not all of the scores were great.
"There's another ball for the wooga," one player yelled on hole No. 8.
But the tournaments aren't all about the scores.
Art Phillips, 58, of York joined the association when he was living in Cambridge. He said he's made a lot of friends playing golf and the tournaments keep him connected.
Thursday's tournament was a three-man scramble played in two flights with handicaps applied.
It's a different format from straight scoring but Don Ramsey of Broken Bow doesn't worry about how that might affect his game.
"I don't really have a game," Ramsey joked, "so I guess it won't bother me."
The association was originally formed in 1956 and has grown to more than 500 members. The meets stretch from York to Ogallala and from Valentine to McCook. They are open to any player 50 or older.
Dale Harsin of Alma plays only six tournaments throughout the season, trying to make sure the event at Wild Horse is one of them.
"I love this course," he said. "It's a great place to play."
Final scores were not available from the golf course.

There are many different chemical types of fibre, but the most important distinction is between soluble and insoluble fibre. Soluble fibre dissolves in water, forming a thick gel. Fruit pectin, for example, is a highly solube fibre. Psyllium seed, the commonest source of bulk laxatives, contains fibre that is moderately solube. Wheat bran consists of relatively insoluble fibre that is most readily evident as "roughage". Although all fibre adds bulk to bowel movements, the chemical effects of the different types of fibre can be opposite.
Soluble fibre feeds the intestinal bacteria, which ferment it to produce chemicals called short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). SCFAs have a number of positive effects on the body: they nourish the cells of the large intestine, stimulating healing and reducing the development of cancer. When absorbed from the intestine, they travel to the liver and decrease the liver's production of cholesterol, lowering blood cholesterol levels. Oat bran, for example, contains fibres of moderate solubility; eating oat bran can lower cholesterol levels. Within the intestinal canal, SCFAs inhibit the growth of yeasts and disease-causing bacteria. The effects of soluble fibre are not always beneficial, however. Feeding high levels of soluble fibre supplements like guar gum encourages an overgrowth of the normal intestinal bacteria which deprives the body of vitamin B12 and produces an increase in the concentration of bacterial toxins. Excessive consumption of soluble fibre from supplements can may create changes in the intestinal milieu that actually enhance the development of stomach or bowel cancer.
Insoluble fibre does not feed bacteria well and is not readily fermented to SCFAs. Eating wheat bran, which is largely insoluble fibre, has no effect on blood cholesterol levels. Insoluble fibre inactivates intestinal toxins, however, and high intake of insoluble fibre is associated with a decreased risk of colon and breast cancer. Supplements of insoluble fibre as wheat bran or pure cellulose appear to decrease the risk of bowel cancer. Insoluble fibres also inhibit the ability of disease-causing bacteria and parasites to attach themselves to the intestinal wall. Insoluble fibre plays an important role in preventing excess intestinal permeability.
It should be obvious that humans need a mixture of soluble and insoluble fibres in the diet and that food, not supplements, is the best source. Eating high fibre foods protects against the development of the major degenerative diseases of the modern world--heart disease and cancer--increases longevity and protects against the development of parasitic infection. The best sources of mixed fibres are unrefined cereal grains (oats, brown rice, whole wheat), peas, beans and squash. Among fruits, one gets the most fibre per serving from apples and berries.
If you become constipated when increasing dietary fibre, you may need more fluid. Drink eight glasses of liquid a day, between meals, not with meals.

Lagging reservoirs
The biggest Halloween treat for drought-stricken residents was news that the South Fork Rivanna Reservoir was full. More puzzling is why, despite rain, the smaller Sugar Hollow and Ragged Mountain reservoirs lost water for much of October, and remained nearly 10 feet low. Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority director Larry Tropea says it's a matter of watershed. Around 258 square miles drain into South Fork; Sugar Hollow's watershed is a mere 35 square miles, and Ragged Mountain's is a downright paltry 3 square miles. Despite the recent rain, "I think it's going to take months" to fill those reservoirs, says Tropea.

Jamie continued to say, "We are leaning towards outdoors, but we're not completely settled on California. There are some amazing places in Wyoming. I just came back from a wedding in Jackson Hole and talk about a dream wedding…it was so beautiful, it's like a slice of heaven. I kind of want to go out on a limb and maybe do something in, like, Montana. There are so many great campsites there and venues to get married, but it's still up the air."

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) — A stolen Tesla speeding through Los Angeles-area streets went out of control and was torn in half in a fiery crash with other vehicles that injured six people.
The crash early Friday left the back end of the electric car wedged between two walls of a synagogue in the city of West Hollywood and the front end down the street among other wrecked cars and a toppled traffic signal.
Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Michael White tells KCAL-TV the Tesla is believed to have been traveling in excess of 100 mph.
Witness Francisco Estrada recorded video of burning debris exploding like fireworks.
The Tesla was reported stolen shortly before 1 a.m. in Los Angeles. Police Officer Christopher No says officers briefly gave chase until their patrol car crashed.

What is in This Collection?
The collection consists of images of revolutionary war pensions for the years 1800 to 1900. It is part of Record Group 15: Records of the Department of Veterans Affairs, 1773 - 2007 and is National Archive Microfilm Publication M804.
The pension and land warrant applications consist of about 80,000 files. Each file may be a single card or may contain from 1 to 200 pages or more. A typical file is about 30 pages and includes an introductory card, an application, sworn affidavits, and other supporting documents that verify a veteran's identity and service. The file also includes papers that show decisions made concerning the claim. In 1912 the Survivor, Widow, Rejected, and Bounty Land Warrant files were consolidated into a single alphabetical series.

Collection Content
Pension acts were passed and amended many times between 1776 and 1878. In 1776 the first pension law granted half-pay for life to soldiers disabled in the service and unable to earn a living. A pension law passed in 1818 permitted compensation for service, regardless of disability, but was later amended, making eligible only those soldiers who were unable to earn a living. The pension act of 1832 allowed pensions again based on service and enabled a veteran's widow to receive pension benefits.
A veteran or his widow seeking a pension had to appear in court in the state of his or her residence to describe under oath the service for which the pension was being claimed. A widow was required to provide information concerning the date and place of her marriage to the veteran. The application statement, or "declaration" as it was usually called, was certified by the court and then forwarded, along with all supporting documents (this may have included property schedules, marriage records, and affidavits of witnesses) to a federal official, usually the Secretary of War or the Commissioner of Pensions. The applicant was then notified that the application had been approved, rejected, or set aside pending the submission of additional proof of eligibility. If an applicant was eligible, his name was placed on the pension list. Payments were usually made semiannually. A rejected applicant often reapplied when the law was later amended.
The Federal Government granted bounty land warrants, or rights to free land, to Revolutionary War veterans and their heirs. The promise of bounty land during the war was an incentive to enter and remain in the service. After the war, bounty land grants became a form of reward.
Veterans or their heirs who claimed bounty land warrants sent applications to the Secretary of War (later the Commissioner of Pensions and then the Secretary of the Interior). Also forwarded were affidavits of witnesses who testified of service performed, marriage records, and other forms of evidence. If an application was approved, the claimant was issued a warrant for a specified number of acres. He could then "locate" his warrant, that is, select a portion of the public domain to have in exchange for his warrant. The Treasury Department, and after 1849 the Interior Department, accepted the warrants and then issued patents to the land. Many recipients of Revolutionary War bounty land warrants did not relocate to their new land. They sold the warrants instead.
Pensions and bounty land warrants were originally administered by the Secretary of War. In 1815 two bureaus were created, one for pensions and the other for land warrants. In 1841 the Secretary of War placed bounty land functions under the direction of the Commissioner of Pensions. In 1849 the Pension Office was transferred to the newly established Department of the Interior. In 1930 the Bureau of Pensions was placed under the jurisdiction of the new Veterans Administration.
Most of the records in the files are dated between 1800 and 1900, although there is some correspondence dated as late as 1940. These records cover about 20 percent of American military, naval, and marine officers and enlisted men who served in the Revolutionary War.
Pensions and bounty land warrants were issued to compensate Revolutionary War veterans for their service. Later, widows of veterans also received benefits.
Information recorded on pension and bounty land warrant applications is generally reliable, but its accuracy depended on the memory of the applicant and the records he or she had access to. Some applications were rejected if the information could not be verified in federal records or if the claim was suspected of being fraudulent.

What Do I Do Next?
I Found the Person I Was Looking For, What Now?
- Use the birth date or age along with the residence or place of enrollment to birth records and parents' names
- Use the birth date or age along with the residence or place of enrollment to find the family in census records
- Use the residence to locate church and land records
- The place of death or burial could lead you to funeral and cemetery records, which often include the names and residences of other family members
- Compile the entries for every person who has the same surname. This is especially helpful in rural areas or if the surname is unusual
- Continue to search the records to identify children, siblings, parents, and other relatives who may have lived in the same county or nearby. This can help you identify other generations of your family
- When looking for a person who had a common name, look at all the entries for the name before deciding which is correct
I Can't Find the Person I'm Looking For, What Now?
- Look for variant spellings of the names. You should also look for nicknames and abbreviated names
- Look for a different index. Local genealogical and historical societies often have indexes to local records
- Try alternative search methods such as only filling in the surname search box (or the given name search box) on the landing page leaving the other box empty and then click on search. This should return a list of everyone with that particular name. You could then browse the list for individuals with the same family number
- Even though these indexes are very accurate they may still contain inaccuracies, such as altered spellings, misinterpretations, and optical character recognition errors if the information was scanned

What is the ruling on a Muslim patient agreeing to have a new medicine tested on him in return for money, knowing that this medicine may have harmful side effects?
Praise be to Allaah.
We put this question to Shaykh 'Abd-Allaah ibn Jibreen (may Allaah preserve him, who answered as follows:
If the harm which may result from this trial of the new medicine can be treated with permissible (halaaal) medicine and its effects can be lessened, whether this treatment is administered by the drug company or by others, then it is OK for him to use the new medicine in order to test it, whether this is done in return for money or voluntarily. But if it is known that the medicine may have irreversible harmful side effects which cannot be treated, then it is not permissible for him to take it, even if a lot of money is offered in return, because Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): "And do not kill yourselves" [al-Nisaa' 4:29]. And Allaah knows best.

A leading children's food charity has lodged a 'super-complaint' against 50 online companies that promote junk food specifically aimed at children.
The Children's Food Campaign (CFC) plans to take its list of 50 offending websites to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) today. The charity is also calling for new advertising regulations to ensure unhealthy products are not promoted to children on the internet.
This move follows the CFC's collaboration with the British Heart Foundation last year, which saw both companies highlight the influence that online games, cartoons and social networking sites have on children when featured heavily on junk food and drink websites.
Talking about the latest campaign against junk food adverts and children, "CFC spokesperson, Kathy Hashem said in a statement: The pervasive nature of online junk food marketing to children really leaves us with no choice but to submit this 'super-complaint."
"It is time for the ASA to face the music: will it or will it not act to protect children from cynical junk food marketing practices?"
To highlight the campaign further, the CFC called out to Culture Minister, Ed Vaizey, to ask him for his support. His office replied, as reported by the Press Association: "As Ed said in his letter, there are strict controls on the advertising of high fat, sugar, salt foods to children.
"Anyone concerned that a particular advert does not meet these controls should complain to the Advertising Standards Authority.
"The Government is taking action, including through Change4Life and the Responsibility Deal, to ensure children get the best start possible in life and to make it easier for families to make healthier choices and follow a balanced diet.'"
Responding to the CFC's 'super-complain'', an ASA spokesperson told The Huffington Post: "The ASA will, as with any complaint it received, carefully and thoroughly assess the concerns that the CFC raises."
Gillian Killiner, spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association (BDA) told The Huffington Post: "Children have such pressure on them all the time, it's disappointing to think that when they're trying to do other things, that they are still being bombarded by subliminal messages.
"Parents trying to get their children to follow a healthy diet will be find it more difficult as they battle against the constant barrage of this appealing advertising, which is obviously designed to make the food look fabulous, regardless of its taste.
"Sadly, this is what children head for. If it's got a nice colour, contains chocolate or a free toy that is what will be most attractive to them. It needs to be nipped in the bud before it grows into a bigger problem than it already is."

In this issue, the Guest Editors have focused on recent advances in liver disease related to disturbances in hemostasis and coagulation. The work emphasizes the multifaceted aspects of coagulation disorders in liver disease from hypo-coagulable to hyper-coagulable states and the limitations of conventional tests such as the INR to shed light on relative bleeding risk or on underlying pathophysiology in a given patient. Articles are written by leaders in the field from multiple disciplines and from around the world. In each article, the state of the art is discussed along with its limitations. The issue sheds light on recent advances, explores areas of controversy, and thus, addresses the need of combined clinical and laboratory investigation.

IUCN has brought together key actors from all over Europe for a conference aiming to exchange knowledge and best practices to reduce the risk of invasive alien species in urban areas.
Following the recent publication of a compilation of case studies on Invasive Alien Species (IAS) in urban areas, IUCN held a conference where some of these studies were presented and discussed. As metropolitan areas are particularly vulnerable to IAS and serve as entry pathways, the key objective of the event was to analyse the issue of IAS from an urban perspective to understand the challenges which cities face and present solutions.
According to Karen Harper, Manager of the London Invasive Species Initiative, London faces high intensity and risk of new and emerging invasive species due to its commercial ports, five international airports and large markets. "Floating Pennywort (Hydrocotyle ranunculoides) for example, is found at an increasing number of sites along rivers. It can cause a decline in native species, deoxygenate water killing aquatic life and can lead to increased flooding events. Key elements in tackling IAS are providing direction through a list of invasive alien species of concern, fostering stakeholder engagement, providing information on best practices, and creating a London-specific plan for addressing IAS management as a whole."
John Kelly, Globally Threatened Species Programme Manager of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, highlighted during the event that a recent report on the economic impact of invasive species in Ireland and Northern Ireland estimated a combined cost of € 261 milions. Cities and urban areas administrators face similar costs to tackle the impacts of IAS in their territories. As highlighted by one of the case studies in the recent IUCN publication, more than € 2 millions have been spent by the city of Helsinki in the attempt to control a rapidly increasingly population of rabbits.
Luc Wauters, Researcher at the University of Insubria, shared his concerns about overcoming public resistance in relation to eradicating the "cute" but invasive alien Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) in the Genoa Nervi urban park in Italy, which is outcompeting the native European Red Squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris). Instead of killing the invasive squirrels, surgical sterilization was applied and the animals were placed back into urban parks afterwards, but despite frequent meetings with all those concerned, public opposition remains strong.
"Urban authorities can play a strong and important role in addressing the risks of biological invasions, for example by making citizens aware of the importance of biodiversity and promoting the implementation of dedicated actions by the competent administrations" says Dr Piero Genovesi, Chair of the IUCN Invasive Species Specialist Group, "As underlined several times during the conference, there is a need to create incentives for rewarding well-performing cities".
In Switzerland, authorities are working on new measures to address IAS. Dr Gian-Reto Walther, Scientific Officer of the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment explained that the national inventory of alien species in Switzerland lists over 800 established alien species and identifies among them 107 invasive alien species. "The Swiss Biodiversity Strategy calls for action so that "the spread of invasive alien species with the potential to cause damage is contained". This action plan following the Swiss Biodiversity Strategy is due in early 2014 and will consist of a comprehensive work package to achieve the targets of the strategy.
The conference served as an opportunity to share examples, establish cooperation and strengthen action for the prevention, control and management of invasive alien species across Europe. IUCN Director General Julia Marton-Lefèvre pointed out that "to many people outside of our community, IAS still sound like creatures out of a science-fiction movie. If we do nothing about them, this sci-fi movie may turn into a horror film. What we need instead is a box office hit: a successful production involving numerous actors, and with a happy ending! Today's conference is an important step toward achieving this".
The event took place at IUCN Headquarters in Gland, Switzerland on 5 September 2013 and was supported by Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt and the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment.
