This Week In Island History
The news of 10 and 15 years ago is from the Jamestown Press. The news of 100 years ago came from the collection of the Newport Historical Society.
100 years ago
From the Newport Journal, Nov. 1, 1912
Messrs. W.H. Brooks, G.A. Clarke, George C. Carr and C.B. Clarke have returned from a week's outing at Peckham's camp at Beavertail.
Little mackerel are being caught in larger numbers from the wharves on the east side of the island. The water seems to be alive with them but a little cooler weather is needed to make them bite better.
For the lateness of the season the number of excursionists who visited the island Sunday was unusually large, owing to the exceptionally fine weather. Fully a third of the outing parties came for the purpose of fishing for tautog and mackerel, every projecting point and rock at Beavertail and the Dumplings, where the fish are usually caught, being occupied from early morning until well into the afternoon. The fish, however, failed to bite well and no large catches were made.

Animal Species:Northern Myotis
Northern Myotis's are also known as fishing bats.
Standard Common Name
Northern Myotis
The Northern Myotis roosts in tree hollows, caves, mines, culverts and under bridges, often close to water. Sometimes they are found roosting in roofs and ceilings. Usually ten to fifteen bats, though sometimes up to 100 bats, roost together in a colony.
Feeding and Diet
The Northern Myotis eats aquatic insects and small fish. They fly close to the surface of rainforest streams or large lakes and reservoirs. To catch their prey, they rake the water with the curved claws on their large feet.
Life cycle
Female Northern Myotis's can breed and give birth three times in one year.
Conservation Status
Northern Myotis's are vulnerable to destruction of roost sites in caves by mining, tree hollows by clearing, disturbance by human visitors to cave roosts, changes to feeding areas by forestry and agricultural activities and pollution of rivers.

text: Water has been a challenge this spring for many Iowa communities as excessive rainfall sends residents heading for higher ground. This weekend, Charles City officials, in the north central part of the state, are hoping thousands will run toward the Cedar River instead of away from it. It's the site of the second Whitewater Challenge where kayakers and other paddlers play in the water for fun and sport.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Reaching an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal within nine months is a target, not a deadline, a U.S. diplomat in Jerusalem said Wednesday, two days after the sides resumed negotiations and ended a five-year freeze.
During the talks, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to visit the region "on a regular basis" to check on progress, said Michael Ratney, the U.S. consul general in Jerusalem. John Allen, a retired U.S. general, will work closely with the negotiators on security arrangements, Ratney said.
Israelis and Palestinians are trying to reach agreement on the terms of a Palestinian state alongside Israel. In two previous attempts, in 2000-2001 and in 2007-2008, the two sides made progress on drawing a border between Israel and a state of Palestine, but negotiations broke off — each time under disputed circumstances — before they could close a deal.
The Palestinians want a state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, lands Israel captured in the 1967 Mideast war, but have said they are ready to swap a small part of the occupied lands for Israeli territory. This would enable Israel to annex some of the dozens of settlements it has built in the West Bank and east Jerusalem since 1967. Some 560,000 Israelis live there.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas initially insisted he would not return to talks unless Israel either halted settlement building or recognized its pre-1967 war line as the starting point for border talks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected both demands and said the Palestinians should raise the issue of settlements in negotiations.
In the end, the Palestinians resumed negotiations without Israel meeting either of those demands. Abbas has said he has received assurances from Kerry that the U.S. views the 1967 line as the basis for border talks.
The U.S. sided with the Israeli view that the fate of settlements should be dealt with during the negotiations. "We said it many, many times (that) we don't accept the legitimacy of continued settlement activity," Ratney told Palestinian reporters Wednesday. "This is a core issue that the parties need to sit down and discuss."
Abbas has said that during Kerry's attempt to restart negotiations, Israel proposed at one point to freeze construction in settlements that fall outside its so-called settlement blocs, or clusters of settlements, all but one of them relatively close to the 1967 line. Israel intends to keep the blocs in a final peace deal.
Abbas has said he rejected the idea because the Palestinians — in line with most of the international community — view all settlements as equally illegal, regardless of location.
An Israeli government official confirmed Wednesday that Israel raised the possibility of a partial freeze at one point, but that the Palestinians rejected the idea. He spoke on condition of anonymity in line with briefing regulations.
Despite the wide gaps between the two sides, Ratney said the U.S. believes the sides can "achieve something in nine months" if they work hard.
"We never set a deadline, but we have clearly set a target," he said.
In two decades of intermittent negotiations, such timelines have been ineffective in prodding negotiators.

Your French Script is great! Don't let anyone make you think otherwise..hope you were wearing your Red glasses and Red lipstick in Les EditeursReplyDelete
Being able to scribble French script may have some advantages...I once fell for a guy with beautiful Gothic handwriting. I am too easily smitten...Delete
Seeing Paris just before Dawn is worth getting up and out. Love the cup and pitchers for the hot chocolate. I have a weakness for tea and coffee sets. French script is on a lot of french decorating here. Have a good day.ReplyDeleteReplies
That's it isn'tDelete
French coffee cups are out of this world
I would have spent a fortune to have Breakies at Les Comptoir accross the street - beautiful big checkered cups to die for...for hotel residents only evidently...
Dawn doesn't show it's face until 8 am here.ReplyDelete
Everything before is night time and it's the right time to see Paris. Just spectacular!
I love all that gorgeous script too. It's heating bills that prevent me from going to visit Paris for awhile, but Boston awaits (I know, it's not Paris)...Love your glimpses of the city & your delight at living there...ReplyDelete
Oh wow! I always thought the IN thing was B/Fast @Tiffany's Who wouldn't want to have B/F sitting in one of those RED club chairs. fabulous. & I always say anywhere looks better at the crack of dawn !ReplyDelete
You reminded me of how wonderful it is to get up and out at dawn in Paris.You may have your eye on the electric bill, Carol, but you are richer and more life-affirming than all the 'Koch Brother' type billionaires put together. Seriously.ReplyDelete
Cassoulet...delicious from the South of France! Nice day full of activities.ReplyDelete
Wow! That pre-dawn view is almost enough to get me up early .... what is going on at les piscenes during the off-hours? Team swim practice?ReplyDelete
Love your nostalgia for your old tourist days! And as for your comment about pretending to draw...I am so self-conscious about drawing in public, I would be tempted to pretend to eat while drawing !!!!Replies
Les scolaires fill the gaps and get preference at Paris pools. Right now it's vacance for 2 weeks so the grownups get a break.Delete
Carol, I love these views of what it is to be a morning person in Paris.ReplyDelete
I smiled at your reference to "pretending to draw" ... you draw so beautifully, I cannot imagine how you pretend to draw. xo
Laduree has now opened on West Broadway. The manager brought us a sampling box of macarons. Very sweet gesture. Even with all our winter chill and snow and ice, folks are queuing up outside on the sidewalk to gain entry to that pistachio green box of magic.
xo againReplies
Drawing in public, unless it's on the Metro for 2 minutes, isn't my usual pastime, but I'd like to develop the skill and have something to do in a Paris cafe. I'm not used to just hanging out...Delete
The pool is gorgeous, but the hour... That takes dedication!ReplyDelete
Lovely photos! Where is the swimmingpool? thanksReplyDeleteReplies

Drawing in public? Why not? I swear I am going to sketch my way around Paris in April. We just have to take a deep breath and do it! Love Paris in the early morning dark.ReplyDelete
By all means, draw in public! I've taken to carrying a notebook with me so I can jot down notes about my meal/day/whatever. It gives me something to do besides stare out the window, and judging by the glances sent my way, it makes people curious about what I might be up to. Or maybe they just think I'm weird. ;) x KatieReplyDelete
You are an early bird! Love les Editeurs, especially as you can watch everyone queue across the road at Le Comptoir. Never would have noticed that snazzy 'S' if you hadn't mentioned it. Cassoulet? Now that's a good idea to have in stock when you don't feel like cooking. Good stuff.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm always suspicious of food in a jar but there's a lot of jared food here!Delete
The cafe, the pool, the script are all wonderful; Bear is, as always, adorable. But, oh, that view in the first shot! Swoon.ReplyDelete
Thanks Carol. At the moment I'm in Paris, today I'm in bed, because I'have had good idea to be ill! Have a good day! HelgaReplyDelete

The French tradition, though I rarely follow it, and I suggest that you too not bother since it is too restrictive, is to drink café crème only in the morning. Espresso is fine anytime. I don't see the difference but if you are really trying to be French, again, I would suggest you not bother since no matter what you do the French will never really accept you, espresso after 12 is part of the set of extremely hard to follow rules. They also seem to scowl at decaf but I'm not sure of that rule. Ask one of your French friends.ReplyDelete
How nice that they have kept the decoration of the old pool. That would offer quite an incentive to me to get into the water. I really don't like having to spend time ploughing up and down and looking at horrible bleak modern design when doing so. And the idea of a nice breakfast after is very appealing, although to be honest I think I might need some sustenance before!ReplyDeleteReplies

Meet Parker! The cutest and funniest thing on 4 legs. And not just any 4 legs either... 4 legs minus one femoral head. Expected to make a full recovery, Parker was found injured and abandoned at a local dog park. Likely the result of dog versus car, someone dropped this guy in the unlikely chance that he would be cared for. Just steps from the County shelter, a puppy superstar grabbed him up and delivered him to a rescuer, a vet team and a lot of caring people that chipped in to cover the cost of the surgery. Even when he had a broken leg and without the benefit of medicine, the first impression he gave was to exude puppy love and kisses.;. happy to see anyone, wagging his tail despite the obvious pain. Once surgically corrected he has been on the fast track to mending completely, always playing with the adult female dogs in the foster home, following the human boy around like a... lost puppy.
About 18 weeks old, Parker is neutered, fully vaccinated and micro-chipped. His long-term prognosis is that an active pup at a stable weight should keep him happy and healthy for years to come. Like other members of his breed, pit bulls are not for everyone, and potential adopters should be familiar with the breed or at least willing to learn. As a youngster, a home able to provide structure and stability will help polish this pup to the perfect canine companion. 97% housebroken, already knows sit, down, leave it and here. A well-rounded social pup that loves to make eye contact with you and will connect and work to please you! Obedience classes required with adoption. Also, application, interview, home check, adoption donation and legally binding contract. If that's too much trouble for you, then ask yourself if you really have time to add a puppy.

Parker got absooutely zero interest on PetFinder or Craigslist, but he is such a beguiling boy that he has suckered Molly (Caped Dog) into going official adoption on him. Guess the vaccination worked!

Where the Arctic meets the North Atlantic: Where does the freshwater go?
OCCI/Arctic Research Initiative
2007 Funded Project
The Arctic Ocean has been undergoing unprecedented change, seemingly the result of global warming. Among the most notable changes has been an acceleration of the hydrological cycle, including more melting of sea-ice, more storms (hence more precipitation), fresher input from the Pacific, and an increase in river run-off.These changes are consistently of one sign: to increase the freshwater discharge to lower latitudes. Consequently, there is widespread concern about the sensitivity of the North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) to these northern freshwater sources. In particular, it is thought that the increased freshwater—roughly half of which passes to the east of Greenland—will reduce convective overturning in the North Atlantic and consequently slow down, or halt, the MOC. However, in order to accomplish this, the outflowing freshwater needs to be transferred from the East Greenland boundary current system into the basin interior, and it is presently unknown how this will happen, how quickly it will occur, or what the biological ramifications will be.
We propose to deploy a high-resolution moored array across the continental shelfbreak just south of Denmark Strait, where the Arctic-origin water first meets the open North Atlantic. The sharp front that forms here between the cold, fresh out-flowing Arctic water and the warm, salty recirculating Atlantic water is known to be leaky—likely allowing Arctic water to escape offshore—but historical measurements from ships have been too coarse to determine why this might be or how much water and biogenic material is exchanged. The proposed array will offer the first-ever view of this front, and its associated current system, at the dynamically relevant lateral and vertical scales, by using profiling instrumentation spaced closely together across the shelfbreak. This will provide multiple vertical sections per day of hydrographic properties, velocity, and acoustic backscatter (zooplankton proxy) over the span of one complete annual cycle. Our aim is to determine the mechanisms by which Arctic-origin waters and their intrinsic zooplankton are exchanged across the frontal boundary, and determine the magnitude of the fluxes. The hypothesis is that this happens by two processes: hydrodynamic instability of the current that leads to eddy formation during periods of light winds, and downwelling during the frequent passage of storms along the North Atlantic storm track. The information obtained from this study will put us in a better position to understand how the predicted increase in freshwater discharge from the Arctic might impact the thermohaline structure, convection, and ecosystem of the sub-polar North Atlantic.

New Urbanism Village Goes Green
A version of this article appears in the January/February 2007 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
January 01, 2007
Sonoma Mountain Village, a new infill mixed-use development, will showcase green building and New Urbanist principles, which promote planning and architecture that create human-scale, walkable communities and cities. Located in Rohnert Park, a small city in Sonoma County, California, about 45 miles north of San Francisco, the 200-acre site will provide homes for 5,000 residents and jobs for 3,000 people. Construction on the project began in late 2006. The contractor is Codding Enterprises, a family-owned business that has been building in Sonoma County since 1849. New Urbanist Principles Sonoma Mountain Village aims to replace and then exceed the more than 3,000 area jobs that used to exist on this site. Sonoma Mountain Village's architecture and land plan will provide many pedestrian-friendly amenities to the local community and are estimated to cut auto trips by 40%. Public transit stops are planned within 1/2 mile of every workplace, with shopping and community parks a quick walk away. As a live/work community, the development will provide employment in the industrial, medical, consulting, retail, and personal-services sectors. These businesses are planned to occupy more than 500,000 ft2 of custom industrial and office space, ranging from 10,000 ft2 to 250,000 ft2, all centrally located within Sonoma Mountain Village's 25-acre business ...

CL/Splash News Online
For Chris Pratt, bigger is better — at least when it comes to his wife's body after baby.
Since welcoming their first child, Jack, the actress has been taking her time to shed the pregnancy pounds, attributing any weight loss to carrying around the couple's 3-month-old son.
"I think it's from hauling around the little guy," Faris tells E!, adding she prefers to "cherish" her baby boy rather than hitting the gym. "I'm trying to do it without help. So it's been a lot of lifting."
But according to the new mom, the pressure from Pratt is off … or rather on — to keep some of her curves! "I have the sweetest husband. He makes me feel good at any weight," Faris, 36, shares.
"In fact, I kinda think that he likes it when my butt is a little bit bigger."
And just in case there's any doubt as to whether the Zero Dark Thirty star is loving her backside assets, Pratt, 33, quips, "I'll take it. I like it. Don't work too hard."

Portsmouth names (another) new football coachBy ROGER BROWN
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 23. 2013 9:32PM
Brian Pafford said he's dreamed about being Portsmouth High School's head football coach ever since he can remember. It took longer than he expected, but his dream came true.
Pafford accepted the Portsmouth job Tuesday morning, one day after former head coach Russ Russo resigned. Russo was hired in April.
"I was shocked," Pafford said when he was asked about Russo's resignation. "I never saw it coming."
Russo, who works for the Portsmouth Police Department, said he resigned because a new career opportunity presented itself that he couldn't pass up. He spent the last 16 seasons as an assistant coach at Portsmouth.
"I'm not a young guy, and you have to get these things when they're still out there," Russo said. "I had an idea things would play out the way they did. The program is in good hands."
Pafford, 46, was a finalist when Portsmouth was looking to replace Bill Murphy, who resigned after the 2012 season. Murphy had been Portsmouth's head coach since 1995.
Pafford graduated from Portsmouth in 1985. He was the head coach at York (Maine) High School for five years in the 1990s, but has spent most of his coaching career as an assistant at Portsmouth.
"The reason I went to York was to get a shot at the Portsmouth job," Pafford said. "I did it to get me ready for a coaching job at a bigger school."
Like Russo, Pafford was part of the coaching staff that helped the Clippers win the last two Division III championships. Portsmouth has appeared in the Division III title game in each of the last five years.
Pafford said he plans to meet with the team this afternoon. The first day NHIAA football teams can practice is Aug. 14.
"I don't think we'll miss a beat because pretty much everybody (on the coaching staff) is coming back," he said. "Our senior class has a bunch of talented, athletic and hard-working kids. I'm excited and ready to go."

But, as I got older, I played less basketball and still ate the same quantity of food. The result was that I gained weight. I just started buying bigger pants and baggy shirts.
Then when my wife was pregnant with our first child, I started to gain "sympathy weight," meaning that I would eat more to match my wife's pregnancy weight gain with some pounds of my own. Then my wife had the baby and the weight just melted off her. For me it wasn't so easy.
So I decided to do something drastic to lose the weight. I signed up for Operation Boot Camp. It was a full month of working out every day and dieting. The camp started at 6 a.m. which was a pretty early for me. But it was only a month so I thought I could handle it.
After a month of Boot Camp, I dropped 10 pounds and felt great. So I decided to do a second month. Then I did a third and fourth month. At this point, I was used to getting up at 5:30 a.m. so I just kept doing it. I was so into it that I actually became a Boot Camp instructor and did that for about four years.
In 2012, I "retired" from Boot Camp and switched to spin class. Now every morning I wake up and go to Flywheel Atlanta. It's really hard and sometimes I feel like I'm going to die. But I leave class feeling super energized. It's really a great way to start the day.
Obviously there are lots of physical benefits to working out. But, what I've found is that exercise has actually made me a better marketer. Here are five reasons why:
- Better productivity. I used to be one of those people who walked into the office like a zombie. I couldn't even talk to anyone until I had two cups of coffee. It just took me awhile to get into the flow of the day. But since I've been exercising every morning, I come into the office wide awake and ready to go. I get a fast start and I get more done. On days that I don't exercise, I just don't feel as good and I find myself getting tired in the late afternoon. I'd estimate that exercise gives me an extra hour of productivity each day. Over the course of the year that can add up to 260 hours or about 11 days.
- Stress management. There have been a lot of studies about how exercise relieves stress. According to the Mayo Clinic exercise pumps up your endorphins which are the brain's "feel-good neurotransmitters." I'm a believer. A few years ago during a particularly stressful time at work, daily exercise helped me keep it together. If I didn't work out in a given day I would get home at night so exhausted by the stress that I'd have to go right to bed. It was an awful feeling. So during stressful times I always make sure to get a workout in. It just keeps me sane.
- Improving creativity. At its core, marketing is about new ideas that drive better results. But coming up with new ideas isn't always easy. I've found that some of my best ideas come to me when I'm exercising. I'm not sure what it is about exercise that gets the creative juices flowing. But sometimes I get back from a long run with tons of new ideas. The challenge is remembering them and writing them down as soon as I get home. According to an article in Newsweek, "Almost every dimension of cognition improves from 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, and creativity is no exception. The type of exercise doesn't matter, and the boost lasts for at least two hours afterward." So if you're looking for a creative solution to a business problem, go for a jog and it might come to you.
- Higher energy levels. When you work in marketing, you have to be high-energy. You have to sell your ideas and your vision. But if you have low energy that's hard to do. I find that exercise gives me an extra boost of energy that lasts throughout the day. If I have to give a big presentation, I always have to get a workout in that morning. It's the energy from the exercise that makes me a better presenter.
- Competitive edge. I usually work out in competitive group activities. In Flywheel spin class, you compete with other riders to see who can get the most points. It's very competitive and a lot of fun. I have to admit that when I get the highest score in a class it really feels great. I find that the competitive drive carries over to my work. As Vince Lombardi said, "Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all time thing. You don't win once in a while, you don't do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit." That's good insight. I do think working out competitively has made me more driven to try harder at work and deliver better results for my company.
Do you think that exercise makes you a better marketer? Let me know.

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks & Caicos Islands (AP) — The tourist board in the Turks & Caicos Islands says the cruise terminal on Grand Turk has temporarily closed.
Cruise lines have cancelled port calls to Grand Turk after passengers reported experiencing gastrointestinal illnesses there during recent visits.
In a Tuesday statement, the British territory's tourist board makes no mention of why or when the nearly 18-acre Grand Turk Cruise Center closed. But Board Director Ralph Higgs says all relevant local authorities and stakeholders are trying to address the problem and they hope to reopen the terminal quickly.
The general manager of the Grand Turk Cruise Center declined comment, referring all calls to Carnival Corp., which opened the terminal in 2006.
A Carnival spokesman said he was preparing to issue a statement later.

Members of the Lexington Area Crimestoppers Board of Directors are offering up to $2,000 for a tip leading to the arrest and conviction of whomever is responsible for the death of Nancy Harvey.
Members of the Lexington Area Crimestoppers Board of Directors are offering up to $2,000 for a tip leading to the arrest and conviction of whomever is responsible for the death of Nancy Harvey.
The board of directors met Tuesday morning to announce it would assist the Davidson County Sheriff's Office with obtaining information regarding the case. The 52-year-old Harvey, the owner of Atlanta Car Co. at 1834 Old U.S. Highway 52, was found dead in her business before 9 a.m. Jan. 25 by other employees, according to a sheriff's office news release.
Sheriff David Grice has ruled her death as a homicide. He and his deputies also have asked anyone who may have seen suspicious activity at Atlanta Car Co. between 6 p.m. Jan. 24 and 9 a.m. Jan. 25 to contact the sheriff's office at 242-2105 and ask for Lt. Kevin Johnson, Capt. Mitch Kepley, Lt. Dewayne Miller or Grice.
The sheriff's office has released limited information concerning Harvey's death. The sheriff said he believes it's important for his office to give information to the public to the point where it doesn't jeopardize the case. Grice said the number one importance is the victim and justice being served for her.
As he talked about the case Tuesday in further detail, Grice said he wasn't going to discuss suspects. Three DCSO detectives, Kepley and Grice, as well as an agent and assistant supervisor with the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation, are working diligently on the case, the sheriff said, as they interview a number of people almost daily.
The sheriff's office is following all leads, Grice said. The sheriff declined to comment on how Harvey died.
"We don't have a specific motive at this time," he said.
Grice doesn't think Harvey's death was a random act. When asked if the community should be concerned for its safety, the sheriff said, "I believe it was a situation where the perpetrator knew the victim."
Johnson attended Tuesday morning's Crimestoppers meeting.
"I think you guys are needing some help on this stuff (the Harvey case)," Lexington Area Crimestoppers board member David Koontz told the lieutenant. "I wish we could get something about Crimestoppers giving us a call on anything that could help on this case."
Koontz said he's learned that investigators were "running into a lot of dead ends" regarding the Harvey case.
"I don't know how she died and all that," he said. "We don't want to go into any of that. This is a bad thing, guys."
Johnson explained how deputies manned a roadblock between the hours of 6 and 8 p.m. Jan. 31 in hopes of garnering additional information on the case. They stood on Winston Road in the area of where the homicide occurred handing out flyers.
"If anybody out there saw anything, and it may be something that they think wasn't important, (Lexington Area) Crimestoppers is anonymous," Johnson said. "We don't know who is calling. They don't know. Nobody knows. They don't have to give their name. They just need to call."
Lexington Police Lt. Michael Hunt, the coordinator of Lexington Area Crimestoppers, said he thought his board offering its assistance was a good move.
"Anytime we can help out any agency in Davidson County or around the state, I think that's what we have got to do." Hunt said. "I understand they (the sheriff's office) don't have a whole lot to go on, so anything that the Crimestoppers board can do to help them out, I'm all for it."
Randall Lanier, chairman of the Lexington Area Crimestoppers Board of Directors, expressed his hopes for the sheriff's office regarding the case.
"We certainly would love to give a reward away to somebody who provided information that (leads) to an arrest and conviction," Lanier said. "(Crimestoppers is) an extension of the police department, sheriff's department and all law enforcement. That's definitely what we are here for. That's one reason we would like to shed some light on this case. We have done it on other cases in the past, and hopefully this will help out."
Grice said he appreciates the support of the Lexington Area Crimestoppers. He said the sheriff's office has contacted the SBI regarding an application for an additional reward to be handed down from the governor's office for information concerning the Harvey case. Grice said Tuesday afternoon the sheriff's office has not received an answer from the governor's office.
Anyone with information regarding the Harvey case is encouraged to contact Lexington Area Crimestoppers at 243-2400.

Nuns in action
A few of stories of political nuns:
First, perhaps the oldest voter in this election is a 106-year-old nun living in Rome, aired on CBS News. This is the second of time she has voted in her long life, and the last time she vote for Eisenhower. This time, she's voting for Obama, but she was shy to show her button on TV and "campaign" for him.
Then there is the two nuns who found out they were listed as terrorists for breaking into and protesting at a nuclear missile silo. Sister Ardeth Platte, 72, and Sister Carol Gilbert, 60 served their prison sentences, but were shocked to learn they were labeled terrorists. "To be labelled a terrorist is really very hard to hear and to accept, when your whole life has been one of loving nonviolence," Platte said, according to this news stories from AFP. Their "terrorism" records will be destroyed.
Regardless of whether you agree with their politics, these nuns' social action--the little step of voting at age 106 or taking action for a cause you believe in despite the risks to yourself--are quite admirable.

It's hard to believe it's been over a decade since my stepmom, Valerie, started serving Cranberry Coleslaw at family gatherings. It was one of the things I always went for first at the table. There was something about the tangy dressing and sweet, tart, dried cranberries that perfectly complimented the crisp cabbage and carrot slaw. I just couldn't get enough of it.
In the intervening years, I've changed the original dressing around a little bit to make it more health-focused. I included thick Greek yogurt dressing and used honey for sweetener instead of sugar. All in all, the changes made to the coleslaw are smart ones that don't change the basic flavors; tart, tangy, sweet, creamy, refreshing, and ever-so-delicious.
The ease with which the slaw comes together makes it a serious addition to your summer simplicity files. It comes together in moments and is the perfect accompaniment for everything from grilled pork and chicken to broiled fish.
Do you have any family classic recipes you've made smart changes to in order to make them more nutritious? I'd love to hear about them!
It's that time of year! If you're looking for great ideas for upcoming back to school lunchbox ideas, or if you're overrun with zucchini and need zucchini recipes, please check out Recipes by Kraft.com

Over the last couple of years, it has become clear that traders who want to be involved in the spot foreign exchange market need to be very careful in choosing their broker. Although finding a broker that is willing to put its customers first can be lot of work, it can take much of the stress out of trading. Unfortunately, the alternative is ending up with a less scrupulous broker that can make trading a chore or even put your money at risk.
Unlike trading on futures exchanges through a futures commission merchant, spot forex traders need to be aware at what point regulatory protections end, says Karen Wuertz, senior vice president of strategic planning and development at the National Futures Association (NFA). "If you look at the disclosure document that is required to be provided to all customers, it basically says that your deposits have no regulatory protections."
So, how can you be sure that your broker is up to snuff? Just as you should when making any investment, you need to do some research before you even consider making a deposit with a forex broker. To help you, here is our checklist of seven factors to verify as you search for a new forex broker.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Deep federal budget cuts are forcing the U.S. to send fewer surveillance planes and Navy ships to halt Latin American drug shipments, meaning the anti-drug effort will depend more on local governments hobbled by lack of equipment and official corruption.
The military/civilian task force that patrols drug-trafficking routes off the Central and South American coasts said Friday that two Navy ships won't be replaced when they return to U.S. ports in coming weeks. Flights by Customs and Border Patrol radar planes are being cut back by 40 percent, leaving them with time equivalent to roughly 100 flights for the rest of the year.
A wide range of U.S. military services and civilian agencies work with Central and South American governments on the mission known as Operation Martillo, or Hammer, which is dedicated to halting shipments of cocaine headed north from Colombia and Venezuela up the Pacific and Caribbean coasts of Central America and on to Mexico and the United States.
Radar-equipped planes operated by Customs, the Navy and others operating from airports in Costa Rica, Panama, El Salvador and the Caribbean island of Curacao patrol the oceans looking for suspicious boat traffic. When they spot a suspect vessel, they alert local governments and U.S. ships in the area. For countries with small, underequipped navies unable to operate far from the coast, the powerful U.S. Navy and Coast Guard ships operating under Operation Martillo are often essential to halting suspect boats.
The frigates USS Gary and USS Thach are slated to return to port by the end of April. Navy officials said this week that they don't plan to replace them, as previously intended, because of $85 billion in automatic budget cuts that went into effect last week. The cuts were designed to be so crude and controversial that the Obama administration and a bitterly divided Congress would be forced to find a better way to cut the federal deficit. When that didn't happen, federal agencies were forced to chop the same rough percentage of their budgets.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has cut 1,900 hours of flight time for its P3 radar planes, a nearly 40 percent cut in flights in the fiscal year ending in September. That leaves the program with only 800 hours for the rest of the year, an amount that could be used up after several dozen flights. The program currently flies several times in an average week.
Jody Draves, a spokeswoman for the military/civilian task force that patrols drug-trafficking routes off the coasts of Central America, said the withdrawal of two Navy ships would cut into the U.S. ability to interdict drug shipments. The task force normally has between two and five Navy and Coast Guard ships, and dozens of ships from Colombia and Central American nations, mostly smaller boats and often speedboats seized from drug traffickers.
"Will it have a serious impact if we don't have those (Navy) ships? Absolutely," she said. "There'll be an effort to try to mitigate not having as much of a U.S. presence ... We're going to have to depend, at least for the interim, on partner nations."
Most governments that participate in Operation Martillo declined to comment on the possible effects of U.S. budget cuts.
Jose Raul Mulino, Panama's public security minister, told The Associated Press that, "We work both cooperatively and autonomously and we'll keep on with our work with or without Martillo."
Other U.S. radar flights that operate from bases in El Salvador and Curacao may also be subject to cuts, said Jose Ruiz, a spokesman for the U.S. Southern Command, although he declined to provide further details.
The U.S. is planning to focus more intensely on the coasts of Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador, the departure points for many drug boats and a place with higher likelihood on catching shipments.
"If we end up with fewer flight hours and fewer assets, our interest is going to be in allocating those resources at our disposal over those areas where these is the greatest likelihood of success," Ruiz said.
The U.S. Coast Guard is facing a 25 percent cut in operations. A spokesman said he no immediate information on how that would affect Coast Guard participation in Operation Martillo.

Ellen Ringenberg, 79 - February 04, 2009
Ellen D. (Miller) Ringenberg, 79, of rural Elwood, formerly of Gothenburg, died Thursday, Jan. 29, 2009, at her home.
A private burial was held at Ft. McPherson National Cemetery at Maxwell.
Ringenberg was born Jan. 7, 1930, in Dawson County on a farm northwest of Gothenburg to Henry J. and Dora L (Rathe) Miller. She was baptized, confirmed and married in the Zion Lutheran Church north of Gothenburg.
She attended rural School District No. 90, later attending Gothenburg High School, the University of Nebraska School of Agriculture and Kearney State Teachers College as well.
Ringenberg taught in one-room country schools in Custer, Frontier, Lincoln, Dawson and Gosper counties for many years before and after her marriage. It was not uncommon for former students to share with her the impact she had on their education and their lives, according to family members. She remained an engaged educator her entire life.
One of her greatest joys in life was seeing her three children receive undergraduate and graduate degrees. Her two sons and a grandson also honored her by becoming Eagle Scouts, said family members.
On June 6, 1954, she was united in marriage to Don Ringenberg of Elwood, who was serving in the United States Air Force stationed at Rapid City, SD, where the couple lived until his discharge from the Air Force at the end of the summer. They then moved to the Ringenberg family farm southwest of Elwood, which remained her home for her entire life.
She was a member and past worthy matron of the Eastern Star, past president of the Pioneer Division club of past worthy matrons, past president of the Tri-County Shrine Auxiliary, past president of her local neighborhood club, Pleasant Hill Country Club, secretary of the United Methodist Women, past president of Morgan Phiffer American Legion Auxiliary and past president of District No. 9 American Legion Auxiliary.
Ringenberg was preceded in death by: her parents, Henry and Dora; five brothers—Henry, Siebelt, Alfred, Reinhold and Harold; a sister, Mildred, at the age of three; sisters-in-law—Doris, Marge, Ileen and Beverly Miller and Virginia Wheeler; two brothers-in-law—Max Ringenberg and Sheldon Wheeler.
Survivors include: her husband of 54 years, Don; her children—Mark (Mary) of Fremont, Carol Lea of Lincoln, and Kurt (Denise) of McCook; five grandchildren—Carly and Cara Ward, Jonathan and Katherine Ringenberg and Mack Alspaugh; a brother, Richard Miller of Foster; a sister, Emma Miller of Castle Rock, CO; sisters-in-law—Dorothy and Evelyn Miller and Phyllis Ringenberg; 23 nieces and nephews.
Memorials are suggested to Little Angel's Daycare, in care of the Ellen Ringenberg Memorial: P.O. Box 31, Elwood, NE 68937.
Online condolences may be shared with the family at elwoodfuneralhome.com.

Multiple Myeloma
There is new hope for patients with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells (a type of white blood cell found in the bone marrow). While multiple myeloma is considered a chronic and incurable condition, advances in scientific research are bringing innovative and exciting treatments to people who have newly diagnosed, relapsed or refractory disease. More and more people are attaining lengthy remissions and are surviving for many years.
"There is no question that the efforts of the myeloma community in the last decade have dramatically improved outcomes and changed the natural history of this disease," said Andrzej J. Jakubowiak, MD, PhD, director of the myeloma program at the University of Chicago Comprehensive Cancer Center. "While the advances are, in part, related to high- dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplant support, they are mostly attributed to the introduction and availability of new drugs."
Comprehensive Care for Multiple Myeloma
At the University of Chicago Medicine campus, the hematologists/oncologists on our multiple myeloma team are nationally known experts in the treatment of this disease. As lead investigators and co-investigators on numerous national clinical trials, these same physicians are actively involved in the discovery and design of new and innovative therapeutic advances.
Our treatment team provides a personalized approach for the care of patients with multiple myeloma. It is our goal to control disease growth, achieve remission and help our patients live a good quality of life. We also offer comprehensive support services to help our patients manage their multiple myeloma symptoms and the side effects that may occur as a result of therapy.
Treatment for multiple myeloma is often complex and may involve a combination of therapies. We provide the full range of treatment options – tailored to each patient -- including traditional and emerging therapies:
- Chemotherapy with novel drugs thalidomide, lenalidomide and bortezomib -- a class of drugs that change the environment around malignant cells, preventing them from growing and reproducing. Different combinations of these medicines with each other and with more traditional chemotherapeutic agents are often considered and very effective.
- Autologous stem cell transplantation -- a conventional approach and now a safer, more effective therapy
- Clinical trials of new drugs -- the newest generation of therapies, similar to bortezomib (Velcade), thalidomide and lenalidomide, but designed to be better tolerated and more powerful. Drugs such as carfilzomib, pomalidomide, elotuzumab and others are able to overcome resistance seen in the already approved drugs.
- Targeted therapy – the most recent advancement in multiple myeloma treatment, targeted therapies detect and attack cancer cells without damaging normal cells
- Supportive care – chemotherapy, radiation and other therapies may be recommended to slow bone loss and treat bone pain

About 140 people attended the event, which featured presentations and a question and answer session. Audience members tossed around ideas about how to help protect Florida's springs.
John Moran becomes animated when he talks about the Ichetucknee Springs.
The nature photographer has visited the park for more than 30 years, and he said he's seen the springs worsen over the years.
"You don't have to be an expert to go to the springs and realize all is not well," he said. Both pollution and over-pumping of water are two things that are damaging Florida's springs, he said.
Moran was one of three people panelists in a discussion about Florida's natural springs being in danger. The talk took place at the Florida Museum of Natural History on Saturday, and it also featured Lesley Gamble, an art history professor at the University of Florida, and graphic designer Rick Kilby.
About 140 people attended the event, which featured presentations and a question and answer session. Audience members tossed around ideas about how to help protect Florida's springs.
Moran, Gamble and Kilby have started the Springs Eternal Project, a movement to raise awareness about saving the state's springs. The project includes a photo exhibit at the Florida Museum of Natural History. It also will include huge murals wrapped around local buses.
"Our springs are windows into the soul of Florida," Kilby said. "If we don't like what we're seeing, something is wrong with our state."
Kenneth Friedman, a UF doctoral student whose work focuses on water conservation, said he attended because he's an advocate for Florida's springs. He said he hoped the event would help "make people aware of problems and discuss solutions."
Gainesville resident Jeannette Hinsdale said she came to the event because she wanted to hear strategies about fixing the issues.
"We can't forget that the planet is our mother," she said. "She nurtures and supports us, and it has to be a reciprocal relationship."
Hinsdale said she can't look at local springs anymore because of the decline she's seen over the years.
"It's very painful to see," she said. "It hurts the heart."
Hinsdale said she thinks the best way to make a difference is to educate residents and encourage them to change their ways.
"People have to change their behavior," she said. "You can't be ignorant."
Gamble said the goal of the Springs Eternal Project is to spread information and educate people.
"We also want to inspire people to get in springs, enjoy them, explore them and listen to them," she said. "We want to mobilize people."
Moran said he wants people to keep clean water at the forefront of their minds.
"We get to decide what kind of water future we want here," he said. "The choice seems abundantly clear to me."

Horoscopes for week of November 9, 2006
Early in his film career, actor Oliver Hardy often played the parts of bad guys. But when he joined with Stan Laurel to collaborate on their series of comedic movies, he became a likable buffoon. I predict you'll soon be the beneficiary of a comparable conversion, Taurus. Some troubling or adversarial influence in your life will become warmer and fuzzier, maybe even downright helpful and amusing. The psychological term for a conversion this dramatic is enantiodromia. It refers to the process whereby something changes into its opposite. It won't be as freakish as it might initially appear. The unexpected transformation will be the result of an organic process.
My colleague Ro Loughran has an interesting theory about astrology. She starts with the hypothesis that some version of reincarnation is true. Then she proposes that in each lifetime, a soul chooses a particular astrological sign because the qualities of that sign are what the soul wants to learn about. In other words, being born a Gemini doesn't mean you're automatically a wizard at being a Gemini. On the contrary, in this lifetime you've become a Gemini in order to master the art of being one. You're here to get the hang of what it's like to be smart and versatile and precise and witty. Your assignment is to keep yourself endlessly entertained and build a strong center of gravity as you juggle a variety of activities and ideas and friends. This week is a perfect time to meditate on how lucky you are to have been given this gift, and to recommit yourself to using it to the fullest.
If you're ever in your life going to be hired to model underwear or get invited by a magazine to expound on your love-making secrets, it will happen soon. If you ever thought it might be fun to see what might happen if you tried to hypnotize someone with your animal magnetism or seduce someone with your telepathic magic, give it a go now. If you've been waiting for the perfect moment to gather rosary beads, the Torah, a Buddhist prayer wheel, a five-pointed silver star, and a statue of the Hindu goddess Shakti, and then unleash a sexy prayer for your supreme dream in the direction of every deity that might listen, this would be a good time.
The time is right to send out a big "Hey!" and "Thank you!" to all the little voices in your head. Start with the still, small voice that's always ready to provide concise responses to the ingenious questions you come up with. But please also acknowledge every one of the other little voices as well--even the crabby, reactive naysayer that's forever on the lookout for insults to your dignity, however tiny or unintentional; even the worrywart that wakes you up in the middle of the night to pester you with doubts and fears. Love all the little voices in your head, Leo. Celebrate their vitality, their persistence, their attentiveness. You're lucky to have such a zealous group of advisors, even if all but one of them are off the mark a lot of the time.
Sometimes, Virgo, you're too damn smart for your own good. You may describe a problem so brilliantly, for instance, that you think you've solved it merely by talking about it, and never get around to actually fixing it. On other occasions your fine mind runs amuck in an orgy of razor-sharp analysis, cutting things apart in order to understand them but not putting them back together again. I beg you not to indulge in these excesses during the coming week. Your intelligence will be soaring beyond even its usual exceptional levels, and it would be a shame for you not to capitalize on it momentously.
"Dear Rob: Most of the Librans I know, including me, are adept at creating opportunities and generating energy out of humbling experiences, which they seem to have plenty of. But is it too much to ask that we might someday come into contact with bright new possibilities that emerge from empowering experiences? Just wondering. -Overly Patient Libra." Dear Overly Patient: Funny you should bring this up. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you're due to receive an unexpected gift that will prime your ambitions. To encourage its arrival, I suggest you ask clearly and playfully for a boisterous inspiration that will fuel your lusty courage.
"Talent hits a target no one else can hit," said German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. "Genius hits a target no one else can see." That could and should apply to you, Scorpio, at least during the month of November. I believe that you have a heightened ability to access special talents that have been partially dormant up till now. If you summon the gall to be almost crazily confident, you'll soon be scoring bull's-eyes on targets that no one else can see, let alone hit.
Your soul's epic journey is in the midst of a plot twist that's so complicated and beautiful, it would be impossible to exhaust our discussion about its meaning. But I have to start somewhere, so here goes. Among the many opportunities you now have, these are among the most spectacular: (1) the possibility of making your existing problems more interesting than they've ever been; (2) the possibility of attracting fresh challenges that are more stimulating and useful than your same old predictable dilemmas.
Climbing Mt. Everest bored the renowned mountaineer Alex Lowe, even when he did it solo without any supplemental oxygen. "Everest held none of the riddles he delighted in solving on remote walls and unnamed ice smears," wrote Outside magazine. "He preferred places that offered 'serious consequences' and little in the way of record-book glory." One of Lowe's colleagues added, "It was astonishing what Alex was able to do. And do alone, without bragging." Lowe himself once said, "The best climber is the one who has the most fun." I recommend his attitude for you right now, Capricorn. Go after the accomplishments that make your heart sing rather than those that make your ego swell.
In 1945, violinist Yehudi Menuhin and pianist Benjamin Britten played their music for the recently freed inmates of the Belsen concentration camp in Germany. I urge you to make them your role models in the coming week. Give a generous sampling of your finest talents to those less fortunate than you, or to someone who has just escaped a harrowing ordeal. Aside from the blessing that will bestow on the recipient, it will also set in motion beneficial developments in your own life.
Everyone has about 1,500 dreams a year. Of those, maybe 1,420 are confusing, indecipherable, and can't be mined for valuable revelations about the inner workings of your psyche by even the most skilled dream interpreter. That leaves 80 intensely useful letters to your conscious self from your deep unconscious. Any one of them could break you out of self-defeating patterns and transform your life forever. This week there's an especially high likelihood that your nightly adventures will be beautiful teachings that are coherent enough to recall. What do you plan to do about it?

Rapid Prototype Service Announcement
Met-L-Flo offers prototype rotational molding (PRM), a rapid prototyping service.
New Product Post: 3/31/2010
Met-L-Flo offers prototype rotational molding (PRM), a rapid prototyping service. Rotational molding is a production process for making hollow parts. The process produces non-symmetrical parts, such as automotive ductwork, automotive reservoirs, insulated products, yard furniture and toys, in a variety of sizes. With advancements in urethane formulations, PRM simulates production-grade material so closely that prototype parts are sometimes used for low-volume production, the company says.
In addition to rotational molding, PRM is suited for hollow parts made in the blow molding industry such as bottles, hollow containers, toolboxes and marine accessories. According to the company, PRM technology saves both time and money on tooling and tooling revisions before production begins.

Tried and tested all-purpose hiking equipment is required. Temperatures at night can get very low when you're above 3,500 metres, so warm clothing and a sleeping bag are essential. You can hire this equipment if need be.
Your safety comes first. Our experienced guides will monitor each passenger for any signs of acute mountain sickness. If you show any signs, you'll descend immediately with a guide.
Hiking for several days without a shower can be tough – be prepared for some dust and dirt. A mask, wet wipes and face washer may become your best friends!
