USS Finback (SS-230) was a Gato class submarine that was built by the Portsmouth Navy Yard and was commissioned on 31 January 1942. She displaced 1,526 tons surfaced and 2,424 tons submerged and had a top speed of 20 knots surfaced and 9 knots submerged. Finback had a crew of 60 officers and men and was armed with one 3-inch gun, one 4-inch gun, and ten 21-inch torpedo tubes. The submarine also was approximately 311 feet long and 27 feet wide.
After her shakedown cruise, Finback was sent to Pearl Harbor and arrived there on 29 May 1942. On 25 June, she left Pearl Harbor on her first war patrol, which took her to the Aleutian Islands. While in the Aleutians, Finback was attacked by two Japanese destroyers on 5 July. She managed to survive an intense depth charge attack and slip away from the enemy. Finback then completed a reconnaissance of Vega Bay, Kiska, on 11 July and also surveyed Japanese activities at Tanaga Bay, Tanaga, on 11 August. She ended her first war patrol by going to Dutch Harbor on 12 August and then returned to Pearl Harbor on 23 August for an overhaul.
After leaving Pearl Harbor on 23 September 1942, Finback's second war patrol took her to Formosa. On 14 October, Finback intercepted a convoy of four merchantmen and sank one of the ships before the convoy's escorts forced her to leave the area. She then headed for the Chinese coast and on 18 October Finback severely damaged a large freighter. On 20 October, Finback sank another large merchant ship and, while steaming on the surface, destroyed an ocean-going sampan with gunfire. Finback arrived back at Pearl Harbor on 20 November.
During her third war patrol, Finback was assigned to escort a carrier task force and on 17 January 1943 she attacked an enemy patrol boat while surfaced. After an intense gun battle, Finback managed to sink the Japanese warship. After a brief stop at Midway Island for repairs, Finback started her fourth war patrol, which lasted from 27 February to 13 April 1943. During this patrol, she scouted the shipping lanes between Rabaul and the Japanese home islands. On 21 March, Finback damaged a large cargo ship and she pursued an enemy convoy from 24 to 26 March. The submarine managed to fire six torpedoes at two of the largest ships in the convoy, but was chased away by Japanese escorts before she could determine whether or not any of them hit. While on her way back to Pearl Harbor, Finback sank a large freighter off Japanese-held Wake Island.
Finback returned to Formosa on her fifth war patrol and on 27 May 1943 she sank a cargo ship. On 7 June she sank a merchant ship and managed to sink another on 11 June before going to Fremantle, Australia, for an overhaul. During her sixth war patrol, Finback prowled around the coast of Java. She sank one freighter on 30 July and another on 3 August. On 10 August, Finback evaded a Japanese escort and a patrol plane and inflicted substantial damage on yet another cargo ship. On 19 August, Finback also badly damaged three small Japanese ships with her guns while surfaced.
After another overhaul, Finback left Pearl Harbor in December 1943 for her seventh war patrol. She went to the South China Sea and, although plagued by bad weather, few contacts, and Japanese patrol planes, Finback still managed to sink a large tanker on 1 January 1944. While surfaced, she also sank a Japanese fishing trawler with her guns on 30 January and badly damaged another the next day.
Finback's eighth war patrol took her to the Caroline Islands, where she acted as a rescue ship for American pilots while also searching for enemy shipping. She attacked a six-ship convoy on 12 April 1944 but, due to attacks made by the convoy's escorts, she was unable to determine if she had hit any of her targets. On 16 April, while making a reconnaissance of Oroluk Atoll, Finback fired her guns on a steamer and a lookout tower on the atoll. She then went back to Pearl Harbor for repairs.
During her ninth war patrol, Finback was sent to the Palau Islands and to the Mariana Islands. Her primary assignment was lifeguard duty for American pilots who were shot down while attacking targets on the Mariana Islands. She returned to Majuro in the Marshall Islands on 21 July 1944 for a refit and then left on 16 August for her tenth war patrol. Once again she was assigned to lifeguard duty, this time off the Bonin Islands. She rescued a total of five downed American pilots. One of those pilots was shot down on 2 September 1944 while on a mission to bomb a Japanese radio station on the island of ChiChi Jima, located roughly 600 miles southwest of Japan in the Bonin Islands. He was in his TBM Avenger bomber and, after he dropped his payload and hit his target, his plane was struck by antiaircraft fire. The pilot was forced to bail out of the burning aircraft and landed off the coast of ChiChi Jima. The few American pilots who had landed on the island were all executed by the Japanese, so it was critical to stay as far away from ChiChi Jima as possible. The other American aircraft that took part in the attack radioed for help and strafed a Japanese patrol boat that was attempting to reach the downed pilot who was floating helplessly in his small life raft. Finback was patrolling 15 to 20 miles from the island when she received the call for help. She raced to the scene and within a few hours was able to surface and rescue the young pilot. The downed pilot was 20-year-old Lieutenant Junior Grade George H.W. Bush, the man who would live to become the forty-first president of the United States and father of the forty-third. For his courage and disregard for his own safety in pressing home his attack on ChiChi Jima, Bush was later awarded a Distinguished Flying Cross. Had Finback not rescued the future president, he undoubtedly would have been captured and killed by the Japanese.
On 10 and 11 September 1944, Finback followed a Japanese convoy and eventually torpedoed and sank two small freighters. After that, she returned to Pearl Harbor to refuel and rearm. Finback left Pearl Harbor in November 1944 and returned to the Bonin Islands for additional lifeguard duty for downed American pilots. However, she did manage to sink a freighter on 16 December before returning to Midway on 24 December for repairs.
Finback's twelfth and final war patrol was made between 10 January and 25 March 1945 and it took her to the East China Sea. Unfortunately, due to a lack of worthwhile targets, Finback was forced to return empty handed to Pearl Harbor for a thorough and lengthy overhaul. She was at Pearl Harbor when the war ended in the Pacific.
Finback went to New London, Connecticut, for the remaining five years of her active career. She was used as a training ship and sailed to the Caribbean in 1947 and 1948 to participate in fleet exercises. She was decommissioned and placed in reserve in New London 21 April 1950 and sold for scrapping in 1959. Finback received an impressive 13 battle stars for her service in World War II and was credited with having sunk 59,383 tons of enemy shipping. Not only did she have an impressive wartime career, but Finback also managed to save the life of a future president of the United States. One can only wonder how history would have been altered had this ship not been patrolling off the Bonin Islands on 2 September 1944.

We are so lucky to have such a wonderful crew of BOGP Lizards! We never dreamed when we started this fantastic group that it would grow to what it is. You all are an inspiration, pushing people to train, getting people motivated to get out there, and really emphasizing the importance of what "family" is all about!
To help celebrate that "family" and also to honor the man who started it all, we are rolling out the BOGP 2015 Rahlmann Double Dip Castaway Cay 5Kx2 Run.
So, how did this run come about? Well, as you all know, Mike likes to run. And it was back in 2013 when Mike got bit by the running bug on Castaway Cay after running with our pal Phil. So given that during BOGP Cruise 3.0 there will be 2 5Ks run on Castaway Cay, Phil and I conspired to create this unique run for all those Lizards who will be sailing with us.
Those who are cruising that want to participate, please email email@example.com and she will get you signed up. (There is no fee for those participating on Castaway Cay.)
But we didn't want to forget about those who won't be sailing with us. So, we have decided to open this run up to all BOGP Lizards in the form of a Virtual Fun Run!
What does this Virtual Fun Run entail? Any Lizards who sign up for the race will have the opportunity to complete a double 5K with us!
Open registration will take place from Wednesday, May 20 until Wednesday, July 1. Runners must complete their two 5Ks anywhere from July 1 through July 19. Participants will not have to run them "back to back" and they do not have to be official 5ks, they can be on your own in your own neighborhood; you just simply have to run 2 5Ks within the July 1-19 time frame. (For those who want to run the same days as those of us cruising, we will be running on Castaway Cay on July 11 and July 13. However, it is certainly not required that you run on those days.)
While we certainly aren't going to be policing that you completed the two runs, we do ask that you either post photos to the BOGP Lizard Facebook page or send photos to firstname.lastname@example.com. We want to be able to cheer you on during and after your runs!
Oh and did I mention that those who participate will get a snazzy BOGP Lizard medal?!
There will be a registration fee associated with this virtual run, which will cost $20. A small portion of the registration will go towards the super awesome medal and shipping, while the larger remainder will be sent as a donation to Give Kids the World. Any and all can participate, however, each participant must pay the registration cost to receive the medal.
To sign up for the race, simply email firstname.lastname@example.com with your name and your address and your preferred contact email address. You also will need to complete payment separately and we will have a few different ways to handle payment. We will be able to accept checks or credit cards. For those looking to register with that method, please email Phil at email@example.com. We will also accept PayPal payments, which can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. There will be no fees for those sending money in the U.S. by PayPal balance or bank account. (Choose the send money to family and friends option.) Only those who sign up and complete payment by July 1 will be officially registered for the virtual race.
Medals will be mailed to participants by July 31.
We are so excited to be able to introduce this event, cheer on other Lizards and to get to raise additional funds for Give Kids The World, a charity that you all know, is near and dear to our hearts.
Go Lizards go!

|July 27, 2013, Norway Cup
In 1892 Munch described the experience behind his Scream motif: "I was walking along the road with two friends. The sun was setting. Suddenly the sky turned blood red and I felt a huge unending scream course through nature."
The project connects Munch's century-old Scream with the modern "screams" we hear from nature today. "Droughts, forest fires, floods, earth slides, extreme weather, melting glaciers, rising ocean levels and massive extinctions of animal and plant species are just some of the huge challenges the world faces today," states the project website. The organizers hope to make a connection between our relationship with nature and the consequences our choices have for the planet we live on.
The project interprets Munch's masterpiece by recreating the iconic expression in large formats and outdoor settings. For example, on July 27 during the opening of the Norway Cup, the country's largest youth soccer tournament, 4,000 youth from all over the World gathered in the shape of the Scream. The result was as large as a football field.
To learn more about the events scheduled to commemorate Munch's birthday, check out "Celebrating a Master" in the August issue of Viking.
Amy Boxrud is editor of Viking magazine. She lives with her family in Northfield, Minn., where she's a member of Nordmarka 1-585.

Note: I don't use the name "brussels" sprouts. Like most non-assholes, I refer to them as "brussel" sprouts. Being a stickler for grammatical precision, however, I will refer to the sprouts using their correct name. Feel free to ignore the unnecessary and pompous "s."
Many people aren't down with the cabbage-y funk of brussels sprouts. Personally, I can admit that they are among the acquired tastes of the vegetable world, but my beloved sprouts are by no means the gnarliest motherfucker in the produce section (I'm looking at you, horseradish). Like most non-leafy members of the Brassica family (broccoli, cauliflower, romanesco), I most often roast my brussels sprouts in a hot oven with little more than some olive oil, kosher salt, and fresh black pepper. And that's really a fine way to enjoy your cabbage. However, I opted for a more flavorful stove-top approach that I first enjoyed at Momofuku, one of my favorite downtown restaurants.
All that is really needed for this application, aside from brussels sprouts and seasonings, is some sort of bacon. Everyone knows that bacon just makes everything better, Jews and Muslims included. I opted for pancetta, but anything cured, fatty, and/or smoked will do nicely.
Start by trimming off the stem end from your sprouts and then halve them lengthwise (tiny sprouts can just be left whole). There will be some stray leaves that will come off, but don't throw them away! They crisp up very nicely in the pan, so just set them aside in a pile. With that done, dice your pork into bite-sized pieces and put it into a cold pan, wide as you can get, and put it over medium heat. The trick here is to slowly render the fat out of the pork. Just keep them moving every few minutes and everything should be fine. The pieces should not really brown for a few minutes, essentially until there is a fair amount of fat in the pan. The French call this process confit. I call it fucking delicious.
After your bacon product has indeed become crisp and has given up all of the wonderful fat that it can, take the pan off of the heat and remove the pieces, reserving them for later. Still without any heat, put the sprouts cut-side down into the fat. Return the pan to the heat and allow to cook, still over medium, for about 5 minutes or so. Check them often for browning, as you do not want a lot of color for this initial cooking.
Once all of the sprouts have taken a bit of goldenness, go ahead and just toss them up in the pan, adding a bit of kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper if you like, and keep 'em cooking. This is also the time to add any other herbs/spices that may tickle your fancy. I love it when my fancy gets tickled. However, I didn't add anything else. The pancetta was enough this time. Once they've taken as much color as you want, go ahead and plate with the reserved bacon bits.
3/4 to 1 pound of brussels sprouts
1/2 pound (approximately) of bacon product (anything fatty, no lean shit here!)
Kosher salt
Freshly-ground black pepper
Olive oil (if needed)
Additional seasonings / finishing touches (see below)
Trim any excess root from the ends of the brussels sprouts and remove any outer leaves that are dirty or loose.
Halve any sprouts that are larger than a modest bite themselves. Smaller ones can remain intact. Reserve any leaves that come apart as well
Dice the bacon into bite-sized pieces. Add to a cold pan (larger is better) and put over medium heat.
Render the fat from the bacon, moving the pieces around frequently to prevent premature browning. The whole process should take about 15 minutes or so.
Remove bacon pieces after they are browned and fat has been rendered into pan. Reserve for later. Take the pan off of the heat.
Place sprouts cut-side down into the pan (still off of the heat), adding any spare leaves and whole small sprouts as well. Return to medium heat.
Toss after sprouts have taken some color on one side, about 5 minutes. Continue cooking until they are tender and have browned to your preference. Note: sprouts can take the heat. The darker they get, the deeper (and admittedly, funkier) their flavor becomes.
Finish with reserved bacon pieces.
This application is really quite flexible. Depending on what kind of bacon you use and what kind of flavor profile you're looking for, you can easily go from unadorned to flavor-specific. Try it with pancetta, some crushed red pepper flakes, and a finishing splash of balsamic or sherry vinegar. Or use some extra smokey thick-cut bacon and add a bit of ground cumin or smoked paprika. It's a good dish to get weird on. Creativity loves cured pork.
– Max.

i used to think i couldn't sleep next to the men i cared about because i was afraid they'd leave.
it took some time to learn that i wasn't so much afraid they'd leave as utterly excited that they would stay, and night would turn to morning, and i'd wake to two coffees and a shared newspaper and a filled silence.
and it was that excitement that kept me from sleep, stretching the night forever in front of me.

The city council has passed a bill renaming a three-block stretch of Liverpool Street in Queens Sean Bell Way, after the young groom-to-be shot dead by police nearby in 2006. Mayor Bloomberg is expected to sign.
The bill drew high-profile objections, but this is only the most contentious of the 70 new street names approved in the bill, some of which are listed after the jump:
Ron Carey Avenue, 28th Avenue between 203rd and 206th Street in Queens, memorializing the recently deceased Teamster leader;
Anthony Aristedes Delgado Way, intersection of Palmetto Street and Central Avenue, Brooklyn, where Delgado was struck and killed while riding his bike;
Dr. Michael Brienza Way, intersection of 15th Avenue and Cropsey Avenue in Brooklyn, in honor of a young dentist who died in April;
Francesco "Frankie" Loccisano Way, intersection of 63rd Street and 14th Avenue, Brooklyn, in honor of a 17-year-old cancer victim;
Janice Marie Knight Street, 40th Street between Lenox Road and Clarkson Avenue, in honor of the deceased former principal of P.S. 235, now renamed in her memory;
Custodian Martin T. Cavanagh Way, intersection of Benziger Avenue and Daniel Low Terrace, Staten Island, in honor of a custodial engineer who died last year of Lou Gehrig's Disease;
Ken Seigelman Way, West 5th Street between Avenue V and Wolf Place, Brooklyn, in honor of the borough's former Poet Laureate;
Edith Copeland Baldwin Way, intersection of Tilden Street and Barnes Avenue in The Bronx, in honor of the former labor organizer and chairperson of the board of directors of Tilden Towers II;
Several streets in Queens, renamed because of "the growing concern of Hamilton Beach residents over numbered streets that shared the same names in nearby Howard Beach."

FAQs Friday: Are diapers and wipes that expensive?
If $60 every two months is expensive, then you're a cheaper date than I ever was!
I previously mentioned where I buy my diapers and wipes — and they're great quality! I buy in bulk, this saves me from having to run to the nearest baby store every couple of days, weeks if I'm lucky.
I recently tried the Costco brand wipes and I fell in love. I give packs to family and friends so they can try it. The box comes with 9 packs of 100 wipes for $20. They're unscented and super soft. As for diapers, I started paying close to $25 when Sebastian moved over to size 1. Since then the price has gone up. We're on size 4 and we pay $38.99 for a box of 140. At one point I was getting about 400 diapers a box for less than 30, but with the size increase of diapers there's a decrease in the amount of them per box. 🙁 Regardless, less than $40 for 140 diapers is pretty darn cheap!
Shopping in bulk makes me happy — I spend less for something I'll definitely be using. Which reminds me, I'm almost out of Desitin. Time to head over to Costco <3
'Til next week, loves!

Graduate Spotlight: Christine Parry-Schwent
Christine Parry-Schwent graduated from McCann School of Business & Technology in Pottsville, PA on September 30th, 2015. She earned an Associate in Specialized Business Degree in our Business Administration with Marketing Option program. Before attending McCann, Christine was working as an Executive Assistant at Telecommunications on Demand, and decided to enroll because McCann offered courses that were directly applicable to her career at the time.
Christine is currently enrolled in an online school to complete her Bachelor's Degree, and will then further her education to complete her Master's Degree in Business Management. She says, "I couldn't have come this far without the support of McCann while achieving my Associate Degree. The guidance, teaching styles and family atmosphere created the spring board for me to not only dive into my future, but to also fly confidently towards my goal of a fantastic career."
Read more from our interview with Christine below:
The best part of my education at McCann was...
"The 'hands on approach' in the classroom that helped me to better understand the subjects being taught. The Internship program was extremely valuable; to be able to say what I completed during the intern program to my future employer was extremely beneficial. Being able to work in groups and collaborate with projects to achieve a communal grade. This gave me the opportunity to see the many perspectives and ideas of my classmates, giving me valuable experience in being able to build relationships in team collaborations at my current job."
Now, I'm working...
"I was hired as the Office Manager for the Orwigsburg region with Access Services on August 24th 2015. Recently, on December 13th 2016, I received a promotion to oversee the Office Managers for the three regions; Fort Washington, Schuylkill County and Lehigh Valley areas. My title now is Regional Senior Office Manager."
If I could tell potential students one thing it would be...
"Use the opportunity you have, right now, to learn how to advance or start your career. Everything that you are being taught can be applied to your current or future job. Each project, paper or task can be approached as a way to advance and achieve your career, not just an assignment for a grade. There have been many times that I have looked back on those assignments and applied them today, in my current career. Your education at McCann will define, create and refine who you are and who you will become. This opportunity will open doors for your future, you just have to decide that it is time for you to walk through them."

What are some of the traits of an effective online marketing company in Australia? Is it an ability to adapt to changing times? Could it be a proclivity to address the needs of the client? Some may observe that efficient digital marketing revolves around social media. In reality, all of these factors come into play. Why are such metrics so very important in today's competitive environment?
Are More Pages Better?
Digital marketing will often be concerned with SEO, website presentation and online reputation management. While all of these are very real concerns, it should also be noted that the number of pages which a website contains has a very real impact upon the amount of leads that are generated. It is interesting to note that many marketing ""experts"" are still not aware of this fact. Therefore, choosing a firm that can address multiple pages (sometimes into the hundreds) is important regarding lead generation.

Mexican Steak Tacos
Beautifully charred flank steak seasoned with ancho chile and garlic, simply garnished with cilantro and taqueria-style red salsa.
Mexican Steak Tacos
I hear the question in your mind all the way from here (in Atlanta). "Aren't all tacos Mexican, so why call this recipe Mexican Steak Tacos, instead of just Steak Tacos?" Well, that's because we Americans have made tacos our own in a variety of over-stuffed ways. Traditional Mexican Steak Tacos are a typical street food offering and don't come with all the different garnishes that you get here.
The taco lets the carne asada take the spotlight, with some taqueria style red salsa and chopped cilantro. But honestly, if you marinate your steak just right, all you need is a crisp corn taco to call it a night.
Katherine and I have probably eaten more tacos than either of us care to admit. I think the last time, we went two full days eating nothing but. We'd pass by dozens of food stalls and carts with towering stacks of golden yellow tortillas waiting for their turn on a hot grill.
The tortilla is the quiet sibling to the loud and boisterous ingredients on the inside. Perfectly charred, not too delicate and robust enough to hold everything, even drops of ancho chile-infused steak drippings.
If you're feeling adventurous, try making fresh tortillas at home. It's an experience.
As for the steak, it holds the flavor, and by chopping it, you'll make a whole lot of people happy they can avoid "empty taco" syndrome. That's when you take a bite of a taco and instead of biting it apart, you pull everything out. Yeah, you know it's happened to you, too.
Flank is the most common cut used, but you could get away with a skirt steak, and even a flat iron will do.
How To Choose the Best Flank Steak for Mexican Steak Tacos
- If you have a local butcher, pay them a visit. Nothing beats in person expertise.
- Your flank steak should have a bright burgundy color and some fat marbleization.
- If you go the supermarket route, check the grain and make sure you don't have tough, fatty bits on the ends.
You should be able to find corn tortillas and cilantro at your regular market. And the recipe for the taqueria salsa is as simple as tossing some ingredients in the blender. If you make extra, it'll hold for a few days, but no longer. ¡Buen provecho!
Falls in love with three squeezes of a lime
Stir memories of steamy sidewalks, yards away from the Sea of Cortez
In the spice chest, ancho chile, garlic, cumin, black pepper, Kosher salt
Suggestions and Alternatives
- The longer you allow your flank steak to marinate the more flavor you will get. I suggest overnight.
- Try to time your plating. This is a street taco, meant to be eaten as soon as it comes off the pan.
- If you like jalapenos, you can swap out the red salsa for this tomato jalapeño salsa.
- To keep the authenticity going, serve a side of tortillas with our authentic Mexican salsa.

Drool. It's only Thursday and I'm already counting down the minutes until next Taco Tuesday! YUM!
Sounds like salt overload…
5 tablespoons in the Taquera Sauce, (listed in the ingredients)
…. not to mention the 4 tablespoons of white people (lol)
Just a suggestion, It would be helpful to include the size of the canned tomatoes and please double check your quantities of pepper listed as well as salt.
So it looks like you have a master list of all ingredients needed, then repeat the same ingredients but have them separated by Sauce and Marinade, then separated the Instructions.
This sounds very tasty, I like the idea of a small dice for the steak, but I might miss the browned crispy goodness gained when cooking the steak intact so I may cut the flank steak into 5 or 6 smaller pieces then marinate and cook, then dice. However, I am going to try your method and see which I prefer, maybe with a really hot iron skillet… Thanks for an interesting recipe.
Has anyone pointed out that the salsa calls for4 Tbs of white people? 🙂
I really like all the spices you used for these amazing tacos. I need to get some flank steak soon and make them!
These tacos sound fantastic seasoned with the ancho and cumin, count me in!
These look delicious! And thanks for the tips on how to find the best flank steak; it's always tricky to do.
Mmmm. I love all types of tacos and these look amazing. I love the sauce and spices. I can not wait to try your recipe, though I will use flour tortillas instead of the corn – as I like them better!! But I can't wait!
These look so delicious! We have tacos quite a bit in our home because they're so easy to make and the kids love making their own! I definitely need to add this to our meal planner! Thanks!

I love to prepare some sort of Mexican food once a week. This looks so perfect!
These Mexican Steak Tacos look really tasty! I love that you used diced flank steak. I had to smile when I read about the "empty taco." Happened to me once. I am saving your recipe and including this dish in our meal plan this week. The Taqueria Red Salsa sounds amazing too.

The event, set to begin at 7 p.m., promises free beer tasting and free appetizers to those who will attend what Jandali describes as "a small presentation and seminar in the back room and you can learn about getting pre-qualified to buy a house and learn about their Match Savings Program where for every $1 you save with them they match you $4 to purchase a house, up to $8,000."

The out-dated building is in need of complete replacement; however the site has numerous restrictions ranging from being set upon a flood plane to being located within The Green Belt. These restrictions along with the need to have a low carbon footprint means students have to explore numerous avenue& 39;s to come to a cost effective yet responsible design for the building.

The Saturday Issue focuses on the more visual books read here at In Libris Veritas; ranging from graphic novels to manga to game companion guides.
Journey Into Mystery #87 (1960)
Writers: Stan Lee and Larry Lieber
Artists: Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers
Notable Events: The first appearance of Odin
Thoughts: Well this starts off rather interesting. American scientists are being kidnapped by the 'Reds' and held prisoner in the Soviet Union. So of course Dr. Don Blake hatches a plan and immediately poses himself as a incredibly valuable scientist in order to help put a stop to the kidnappings. Apparently the 'Reds' don't really believe in checking out the scientists they are kidnapping to see what exactly they are taking, so of course the plan works and Blake wakes up in a cell…with his cane. So at these the 'Reds' are considerate enough to make sure he has his cane with him in his prison.
Thor appears and the best lines and panels also appear. In the midst of Thor battling his way to save scientist and stop the terrible abductions a few things that struck me as kind of goofy. A soviet solider see Thor and his hammer and immediately asks if he's on their side because they have a hammer on their flag. I actually like that guy, he's using his head…but he's ultimately wrong and Thor blinds him and his colleagues without a second thought.
Then during their main escape Thor decides he needs to break down some walls. How do you think he does it? Swing his mighty hammer and smash it to bits? Nope…he spins it and creates shocks waves so powerful it rips the walls down. Oh and did I mention the Reds have a trap door that leads to a pit of sharks? Yep! Clearly these guys were to be feared…you know before Thor decided to make sure they had permanent damage to their retinas or collapsed a building on them.
In the end Thor saves the day yet again and the threat to the scientists is gone….and Jane Porter is completely clueless. You would think she would notice that Thor only shows up when Blake is in the same area…but nope, she's to busy batting her eyelashes and sighing at the prospect that Thor might sweep her away.
Well only one issue again this week I'm afraid, so next week be on the look out for Green Lantern #2 next weekend. I do hope you check back in. Remember if you have any recommendations for issues to feature please feel free to do so, they can be old or new. I would love to add a variety so I'm very open to anything you may toss at me.

Readers seek to donate to teen's family

|The House of Caecilius
As the teams began discussing how they would move from Sextus' house (location 51 on the map linked here) to Caecilius' house (location 34), it was abundantly clear that they had very little, if any, experience in reading maps. Among the many different emails that I received over the course of the night asking for help, one of my favorite was from a student that asked if I could just give him Sextus' address so he could plug it into a GPS-based mapping system and get the directions. In fact, more than one of the teams posted turn-by-turn directions as if they were in some sort of ancient car, complete with distances measured in meters. "Ok", I thought to myself, "this going to be a long night." Each subsequent post by the operatives indicated a further disconnect from being able to read and interpret two maps and merge data between them. In fact, most of the students threw their virtual arms up in the air and said "I give up, I have no idea what I'm looking at or how to find this house." The most creative post went to the team that said their Recentius was confused and decided to follow another one of the characters.
It was then I decided to abandon my plans for the next day and instead focus on improving our map literacy and how to use the many different online sources to figure out where we needed to go. I also figured that I would poke a little bit of fun at the fact that they were trying to use modern directions and place markers to navigate the ancient city. During the actual class on the next day we took some time to pinpoint on the Google Map where each of their Recentius characters ended up using the modern directions. One of the best "tricks" that I did was open both maps up in two separate tabs and align them up so that flipping back and forth showed how the satellite image and the charta aligned perfectly. This was going to be yet another notch in the belt of practomimetic learning; we could add geography to the growing list of skills that the whole experience improves and builds upon.
Then something amazing happened.
Two students, not content with giving up for the night, were determined to figure out where the House of Caecilius was on the charta and how their character, Octaviana, was going to get there. As the all powerful Demiurge figure looked on curiously, they traded posts in their team forum, piecing together the information from the two maps. Eventually, between the two of them, they discovered in the legend of the charta that the House of Caecilius was indeed on the map, now it was a matter of reconciling the satellite image with the other map. Around 9:50 (50 minutes after everyone else had logged off with their work for the evening completed - we have a 9:00 deadline for the online portion of the class) they finally discovered the location of the House of Caecilius and plotted a course through the streets of Pompeii to arrive at the "gignormous house on the right that would seemingly be hard to miss" (their words, not mine). You could literally see the sense of accomplishment in their words and, as the Demiurge, I made sure to offer them a hearty congratulations for their persistence.
The next day in class we traced through the logic and the thought process that these two students did the night before to figure out (together) where the House of Caecilius was and how to get there. When the rest of the class had that "ah-ha!" moment and put it all together, it was then I revealed to them that their two fellow operatives had accomplished all of this the night before, with no aid from the Demiurge.
I had no intention of spending as much time as I did on map reading skills but thankfully I was able to see that they desperately needed assistance in learning how to use that type of data to their advantage. We talked about why you couldn't always rely on a GPS device for directions and the usefulness in having the ability to read maps. Do you think that we'll be doing more travel activities during the rest of the practomime during the year? You bet.
This wouldn't have happened in a traditional setting. We look at maps all the time, discuss certain features, landmarks, points of interest. However, never before have I required teams of students to get from one point to another as a part of an ongoing narrative. Without the narrative, without the practomime, I would not have had the chance to actively assess the students as they floundered about getting from the House of Sextus to the House of Caecilius on that evening. I wouldn't have entirely adjusted my lesson plan to compensate for a deficiency in a skill that goes beyond the Latin classroom. I wouldn't have even discovered just how little experience they had in reading maps.
And, for those two students, they wouldn't have felt the pride that goes along with accomplishing a challenging task collaboratively as a team.

|Big weekend with my friend Angie and sister Cathy. We drove to Las Vegas to walk neighborhoods for the Romney campaign.
|Abbie made an aborable cake for Luke to enjoy on his first birthday.
|Luke is ready to dig in.
|The shirt came off once Luke became serious about eating.
|Happy Birthday beautiful boy!!
Friday at noon I loaded into the car with my friend Angie and sister Cathy and hit the road for a girls weekend to Vegas. A girls' weekend like no other, actually! After braving Friday afternoon traffic we finally arrived at the Mitt Romney Headquarters in Henderson, Nevada to be put to work for the next 24 hours. Since Nevada is a swing state and California clearing is not, we wanted to help get out the vote for Romney in Nevada where it really matters. We spent a couple hours on the phones and seven hours on Saturday walking a pretty sketchy neighborhood encouraging Romney supporters to vote early. We met some really nice people who felt like we did about the election, and some others who slammed doors in our faces (supported or not) and even yelled at us. The high point for me was meeting a kid who was turning 18 on election day and was going to the polls to vote with his parents to celebrate. He said he couldn't think of a better was to spend his 18th birthday and then shook my hand as I left his door. The low point was when Angie approached a door and then decided not to knock. The guy living there saw her anyway and ran outside where he saw all of us and asked (shouted) who we were campaigning for and flipped up off, etc. as he went back inside. Seconds later he ran outside again and started screaming at us about being women voting for Romney. The guy was a loon. All in all, though, it was a great experience and really exciting to feel the energy at headquarters as people came in and out with yard signs and as busloads of peopel from other states joined locals to be put to work. I'm glad that we were a part of it. Go Mitt!
I got home on Sunday in time to celebrate sweet Luke's first birthday, It's hard to believe that a year has gone by since little Luke has joined our family. We all have such a big crush on him. Luke always has a big smile on his face (that dimple!!!!). He even smiles when he cries--which isn't very often. He's happy and laughs easily. He loves us and reaches out his arms for us to pick him up when he sees us. He loves throwing balls, swinging, playing outside and taking baths. He doesn't like getting his diaper changed or being put in his carseat. He is such a special part of our family.

With a greater percentage of uninsured residents than most states, Nevada faces a key question arising from the health care debate: At what price is the state willing to expand its coverage of the poor?
Would the state pony up a nickel to gain an additional $1 in care if the federal government paid the difference? How about a dime? Or 18 cents?
For cash-strapped Nevada, it's a vexing question — one that has set off a feud between the state's Republican governor, Jim Gibbons, and its top Democrat, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, both of whom face tough reelection battles next year.
Under the health care bills before Congress, state Medicaid programs, which now primarily cover low-income children, parents, seniors and people with disabilities, would be expanded to include a new segment of the population — poor, childless adults.
The group makes up 21 percent of the uninsured nationwide, and a slightly larger share in Nevada. Many of them are poor, which the government defines as individuals making less than $14,400 a year.
With nearly 470,000 uninsured in Nevada and a soaring jobless rate adding to those ranks, uninsured, childless adults are a vast group. The state won't hazard a guess at the number.
Under the legislation, the federal government would help states pay to cover them, but the states would have to chip in.
In Nevada, the money would come from the state's sagging general fund.
One Washington estimate is that Nevada's current $800 million Medicaid bill would grow by 5 percent, about $40 million annually.
Gibbons complains the feds are attempting to saddle the state with an unfunded mandate at a time when the tourism economy is in the tank and the state's finances are in crisis.
Reid barked back that he is working to boost the federal share to Nevada — something he succeeded in doing this year and will likely be able to accomplish again.
Regardless, the state would have to pay more than it is currently. Hence the question: How much is too much for Nevada to pay to help cover its uninsured?
Nevada is a libertarian leaning state and has long avoided giving government a sizable role in health care. The result of that lack of government investment is that Nevada dwells at the bottom of national rankings on health care.
The state is in the top 10 for uninsured, with nearly one in five residents going without coverage — just eight states fare worse, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation's statehealthfacts.org.
Nevada is ranked at the bottom for public assistance, sharing the cellar with four other states where just 11 percent of the population is enrolled in Medicaid, according to enrollment reports from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
While other states have over the years pushed to expand Medicaid coverage by digging into state coffers to supplement federal contributions, "We've not, as a state, decided to do that," said Charles Duarte, the state's Medicaid administrator.
Now, Medicaid expansion is at the center of the health care debate in Washington, where reform advocates see it as the simplest way to increase the number of people with coverage.
Both the House and Senate bills propose an expansion of Medicaid to cover those on the lower-end of the income scale as part of the new requirement that every American carry health insurance.
States have historically had great leeway to decide who is eligible for Medicaid as long as they cover the basics — children, pregnant women, parents, seniors, the disabled.
Nevada essentially offers the minimum program required — coverage for kids from poor households (income of no more than $24,300 for a family of three, and slightly less if the children are older), pregnant women (income below about $20,000), parents (income of no more than $16,600 for a family of three) and low-income seniors and the disabled.
Both the House and Senate bills would require states to loosen the income requirement, allowing those who make a few dollars more to qualify. The bills would also require states to cover that new swath of residents — low-income, childless non-senior adults.
Duarte won't estimate how many childless adults earning less than $14,400 annually exist in Nevada — but he knows it's a large number. High-rollers skew Nevada's average income upward, but there are countless shift workers at casinos and mom-and-pop stores who are not covered by generous union health plans or company insurance policies and are not making much money.
Estimates put the number of uninsured childless adults under 65 in Nevada at 250,200, according to statehealthfacts.org. And 198,400 non-senior adults are classified as low-income.
Plus, Duarte worries about the "woodwork effect" — the estimated 70,000 Nevadans who are eligible for Medicaid but have not signed up and might come out of the woodwork once they are faced with the new requirement that all Americans have insurance.
The state saw a 9 percent jump in Medicaid recipients in fiscal 2009, which ended June 30, and because of the recession expects an 18.5 percent increase in fiscal 2010. That's a lot of poor people needing health care.
"Huge," Duarte said.
For the governor, nothing short of full federal payment would work.
"We can't even afford our current coverage, much less an additional expansion of coverage," said Stacey Woodbury, the governor's deputy chief of staff. "We don't have any money."
Even if the federal government paid 100 percent of the costs, the state would still be wary, she said. "Will they pay it forever?"
But others see in that approach more of the same for a state that has historically lagged in caring for the poor and is suffering the consequences of that underinvestment — burdened emergency rooms and unpaid bills.
"Nevada's Medicaid has always been one of the lowest funded in the country," said Democratic Rep. Dina Titus, the former state Senate leader. If Reid can fix the formula to get Nevada a greater share, she said, "It's worth looking at."
The House and Senate bills take a slightly different approach to funding a Medicaid expansion.
Currently, the federal government splits the Medicaid cost with Nevada 50-50. Some states with lower incomes get more federal help.
Under the House bill, the federal government would provide 100 percent — the full cost of covering the new category of childless adults — for the first two years. Then the federal share would drop to 90 percent by 2015.
That means the state would eventually have to pony up a dime for every new $1 spent.
Under the Senate bill, the federal government helps states with the toughest climb, those such as Nevada that are not currently offering much Medicaid. The feds would initially provide 87.3 percent when the law goes into effect in 2014, dropping down to 82.3 percent by 2019.
The bottom line: Under the Senate plan, the state would pay 13 cents to get $1 in expanded care now, and 18 cents on the dollar into perpetuity.
That's a tall order for a state staring down a $2.4 billion deficit.
Duarte notes that the extra federal funding applies only to those newly covered by the program, low-income childless adults. For the woodwork-effect people, who could have been covered in the past but are only now joining Medicaid, the state would still be reimbursed at the 50-50 rate.
Assemblywoman Sheila Leslie, D-Reno, an early supporter of President Barack Obama and one of the state's most liberal legislators, understands the state's dilemma.
"One of the best ways to attack the high percentage of uninsured is to increase the number of eligible participants on Medicaid," Leslie said. "But even if the state has to pay 10 percent of the cost, it's going to be very difficult. We have no money."
A chart floating around Washington last week showed that under the health care legislation being debated in Congress, Nevada would have to increase its spending on Medicaid by 5 percent — the second highest increase in the nation. The average was 0.89 percent.
Reid called the increase for Nevada unacceptable and vowed not to bring a bill to the Senate floor unless the state got a better deal. "During this time of economic crisis, our state cannot afford to shoulder the second highest increase in Medicaid funding," Reid said in a statement last week after the bill was introduced.
"I spoke to the chair of the Finance Committee and he assured me that this bill will be improved for Nevada before he takes it to the committee," Reid said. "Let me be very clear, I will not bring a health insurance reform bill to the Senate floor that is not good for Nevada."
Reid's ability to address the problem is not overstated.
He made sure Nevada received the largest increase in Medicaid funding in the economic recovery act by changing the formula to consider states with high unemployment rates. Nevada's jobless rate, 13.2 percent at last count, is among the highest in the nation.
The result was one of the unsung victories for Nevada in the recovery act. The state's usual 50 percent match from the feds was temporarily boosted to 63.9 percent, bringing in an additional $125 million so far this year.
The Senate Finance Committee chairman, Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, confirmed to the Sun that various "senators have requests on Medicaid payments and we're working with them."
But even Reid's clout is not likely to get Nevada a 100 percent match. Both House and Senate bills require states to chip in something. A nickel, a dime, maybe 18 cents on the dollar.
So the question now is: How much would Nevada be willing to pay to reduce the ranks of its uninsured?

A new poll finds 10 percent of Americans admit they have taken someone else's prescription drugs.
One-quarter of those people used the drugs to get high.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll found about 60 percent of Americans who used someone else's prescriptions were seeking pain relief, while 20 percent took them to sleep, or to manage anxiety and stress, Reuters reports.
Two-thirds of those who said they used other people's prescriptions said the drugs were given to them by a family member, friend or acquaintance.
Some people use another person's prescriptions to save on costs, the article notes.
Dr. Wilson Compton, a Division Director at the National Institute on Drug Abuse, warned against taking someone else's prescription drugs. He noted doctors prescribe specific dosage levels according to a person's individual needs. "Simply because it's a medicine that comes from a pharmacy does not mean it is without risk," he said. "There's a reason they require a prescription."
The online poll included the responses of 6,438 American adults.

Norwood Interiors has closed the doors on its Brighouse and Mirfield showrooms after it ran into financial difficulty.
The Brighouse-based kitchen, bathroom and bedroom company has closed due to a 50 per cent drop in weekly sales from the beginning of this year.
In a statement the company said its order book shrank from £700,000 to £275,000 forcing the directors to seek professional advice and "with great regret" it was concluded that the business could no longer trade.
Following the addition of a showroom in Whiteley's Garden Centre in Mirfield, the company said it had a "dramatic and positive impact helping to generate new business and improving margin".
However following a shift in the market place, sales began to slow down and the decision was taken to cease trading.
In June, the firm closed its site in Leeds, with customers orders transferred to Brighouse, but now the company is in the process of appointing a liquidator after showrooms in Brighouse and Mirfield were closed earlier this month.
