If you thought the plan to save the Great Barrier Reef by pumping cold water into it was absurd, you will have a hard time believing this.
A United Arab Emirates company wants to tow a giant iceberg over 9,000km from Antarctica to the Arabian peninsula and then break it down to use as drinking water.
The UAE is one of the most water scarce countries on the planet -- it receives an average rainfall of just 94.3mm each year, and its groundwater is predicted to dry up within the next 15 years.
But it seems its residents haven't really taken the need for conservation on board; the UAE has the highest water consumption per capita in the world, according to a report by the Emirates Industrial Bank.
Around 70 percent of the world's fresh water is locked up in Antarctica's ice sheets.
Still, as desperate and wild schemes to deal with our changing climate and growing populations go, this is definitely up there.
We'll get to whether or not such a plan is even possible in a moment, but first, what exactly is the company planning to do?
Abu Dhabi-based environmental consultancy National Adviser Bureau announced the project earlier this month, which they say will commence at the beginning of next year.
The plan is to use powerful tow boats to drag a 3km-long iceberg an estimated 9,200km across the Indian Ocean, anchor it 24 kilmoetres off the coast of the UAE and chip away at it for drinking water.
If successful, the National Advisor Bureau plans to continue the scheme with more icebergs to supply the water-scarce UAE with clean drinking water.
An iceberg of this size contains around 75 billion litres of water, according to company director Abdullah Mohammad Sulaiman Al Shehi -- that's 30,000 Olympic swimming pools.
Al Shehi says this could provide drinking water for one million people over five years.
"This is the purest water in the world," Al Shehi told Golf News.
"We have formulated the technical and financial plan. Towing is the best method. We will start the project in beginning of 2018."
He told Gulf News the company has mapped out the route. They estimate it will take one year to tow the iceberg to the Fujairah, the UAE's most northern emirate, during which time 30 per cent of it will have melted.
You can watch the promotional video for the project here:
The National Advisor Bureau refused to be drawn on costings for the ambitious project, saying it was a matter of proprietary.
What's more, they're actually billing the move as an environmental measure, suggesting it as an alternative to energy-intensive desalination of ocean water, which currently provides most of the UAE's drinking water.
While it seems like towing an enormous lump of frozen water half way across the world might also burn a fair bit of fuel, we thought we'd thought ask an expert.
Professor Grant Bigg is a professor in earth science systems, and a specialist in all things icebergs.
He said that not only would it be extremely expensive -- it could have serious implications for marine life.
"Without doing the sums, I would have thought taking an iceberg from the Southern Ocean to Arabia would be pretty resource intensive," he told HuffPost Australia.
"Think of the energy used in the towing process, the manufacture of sleeves and cables to insulate and tow the iceberg, and protecting it once offshore."
They also haven't addressed the small matter of the iceberg's survival in the scorching climate of the UAE -- the water off the coast of Fujairah averages a balmy 30 degrees.
"The meltwater may also have an impact on the local ecology, both through freshening the water and making it colder, and the local ecosystem will of course be used to very different conditions," Professor Bigg explained.
It could also cause serious damage to the sea floor if it was grounded -- even creating a small tsunami.
"And grounding would constantly evolve - every time ice was removed the iceberg would need to be moved into shallower water to be grounded, likely creating a scar on the sea floor," Bigg said.
"Alternatively, if harvesting was not done carefully the iceberg might be destabilised by the ice removal and rollover, creating a local mini-tsunami."
Although it's hard to have confidence in a company that thinks polar bears live in Antarctica and hang out with penguins, the idea is actually not new.
In fact, it's been floated at various times for the past two centuries.
French engineer Georges Mougin, who reportedly acted as an adviser on this latest project, was employed by the Saudi royals to look into the idea in the 1970s.
That scheme involved locating a 100 million-tonne iceberg off the coast of Antarctica, wrapping it in sailcloth and plastic to slow its melting and tugging it to the coast of the Arabian peninsula.
At the time, the trip was estimated to take around eight months and cost about $100 million.
Even NASA weighed in on the idea, proposing that the icebergs be tracked by spacecraft.
You can read about other iceberg towing schemes here -- including a successful project in the 1960s developed by oil companies to tug icebergs away from their rigs in the Labrador Sea. Iceberg towing for this purpose continues today, although of course, the icebergs are far smaller in scale (the largest is believed to be 4 million tonnes) and were only dragged a few kilometres through icy cold water.
Professor Bigg told HuffPost Australia that taking an iceberg all the way to the UAE would be a very different story.
Even much larger icebergs which float out of the Weddell Sea generally broke up before they got past the latitude of South Africa, lasting only around six months, Bigg said.
"For an iceberg a tenth of this size to survive a journey across the equator would require extensive insulation and a significant towing speed (which will enhance melting), both of which would be very expensive.
"As the iceberg got smaller the chance of breakup or rollover is likely to increase, adding major complications, and hazards, to the towing."
But it looks like the ambitious plan could be doomed to failure before its had the chance to prove just how crazy it really is.
The UAE's Minstry of Energy have poured cold water on the idea, refuting reports that plans to "import" an iceberg were underway.
In an official statement released this week, the Ministry said: "As the authority in charge of water affairs, (the Ministry of Energy) would like to confirm that such news is just a rumour."
So it looks like we'll have to put this project on ice until the next dreamer comes along.

The dogs and I were happy to have the sun shining down on our morning walk.
I wore my brand spankin new pair of boots I bought at the hardware store in Belfair yesterday - when I saw them (they only had 2 pairs left) I couldn't believe one of the pairs was my just my size!
Which way to go first?
The dogs never struggle with decisions; making them has always been the monkey on my back, but then it's to be expected as I am a Libra.
The morning light was tinged with steam rising across the field. This big root ball belongs to our beloved Maple, the bank gave way in high water. That's how it is living on the river - constant lessons in the nature of impermanence.
The clothesline sags under the weight of invisible laundry.
By day, I am busy working on the presentation I'll be giving next week in Seattle at Search for Meaning Book Festival, The topic I've chosen to speak about is "Painting as Poetry; Self Discovery in the Dynamic Flow". I'm pondering times I'm in the flow and times I'm not, and the many ways that I find my way back.
How do you find your way back when you've lost your creative way?
I recently learned that one of my favorite poets, David Whyte, will also be presenting at the festival and I'm overjoyed that he's speaking at a different time slot than I am so I can hear him.
I leave you now with one of his poems,
What to Remember When Waking
In that first hardly noticed moment in which you wake,
coming back to this life from the other
more secret, moveable and frighteningly honest world
where everything began,
there is a small opening into the new day
which closes the moment you begin your plans.
What you can plan is too small for you to live.
What you can live wholeheartedly will make plans enough
for the vitality hidden in your sleep.
To be human is to become visible
while carrying what is hidden as a gift to others.
To remember the other world in this world
is to live in your true inheritance.
You are not a troubled guest on this earth,
you are not an accident amidst other accidents
you were invited from another and greater night
than the one from which you have just emerged.
Now, looking through the slanting light of the morning window
toward the mountain presence of everything that can be
what urgency calls you to your one love?
What shape waits in the seed of you
to grow and spread its branches
against a future sky?
Is it waiting in the fertile sea?
In the trees beyond the house?
In the life you can imagine for yourself?
In the open and lovely white page on the writing desk?

Ball State improved to 10-0 for the first time, with six of the wins in the Mid-American Conference. The Cardinals matched their school record for victories - they went 10-1 in 1978. Their only perfect season came in 1949, when they won eight games.
They have two games remaining with which to torture the BCS boys - November 19 @ Central Michigan, and November 25 vs. Western Michigan.

Nesroid Emulator for Android.
My favorite so far is Nesoid by a developer named yongzh is frankly the kind of stuff you dream of for a mobile platform. As emulators go it's smooth and skips very few frames, even on my G1's crappy proc. It has a simple interface, basically just file manager to pick and choose the ROM you want to play. It has Game Genie support, On screen controls, and control mapping for keyboard; it will even work with a blutooth controller if you have one.
It has two tiers of pricing. The "Light" version is just the basic emulator, and for $4.99 you can get the "Full" version that also adds Save States. If you play RPGs you should go ahead and splurge on the full version as what it doesn't emulate is battery backup, so ROM Save state is the only way to save your game. Nesoid isn't his only emulator either. There's a GBC, GBA, SNES and Genesis emulators as well.
This has breathed new life into my Android Phone. I'm not sure if I'll go back to it as a full time phone, but it may find it's way into by bag to hit up some Duck Tales when I'm bored at work; and when it comes to upgrading phones next time I think Android is back in the running.

17th Century Pictorial Map of Galway City
This map which dates from the mid-17th century is a bird's eye view of a town surrounded on three sides by water, the River Corrib in the foreground, its tributaries, and the sea. Two known copies of the original map exist, one in the Library of Trinity College Dublin, and the second in the archives of the Hardiman Library at NUI Galway. This new digitised version of the map is based on the Hardiman Library copy. Dr. Pádraig Lenihan, lecturer in History at NUI Galway, notes that 'it is the most accurate and, indeed, most beautiful map of an Irish urban space before John Roque's 1756 map of Georgian Dublin.

The satisfaction of giving back. The urge to take action in your community. The desire to make a difference when you are needed most. The feeling you had, as you watched the scenes of Hurricane Katrina on TV, that you wanted to do something. The MRC will help you be right where you need to be during a disaster situation, applying your skills where they are needed most. We strive to support capable, prepared, and knowledgeable volunteers to ensure that the citizens of Marion County remain as healthy as possible in the face of a disaster.
Both medical professionals and non-medical residents, 18 years of age and older, are encouraged to join. Medical professionals include doctors, nurses, EMT's, veterinarians, chiropractors, LPN's, physicians' assistants, mental health professionals, and many others in the health care field. If you do hold a medical license, that license will be verified to determine your ability to perform certain tasks during a disaster.
We recognize that during any disaster your family will be your first priority, so our volunteer training begins with family preparedness. If your family is not ready for a disaster, then you will not be able to leave them. With proper preparation and training, our volunteers and their families are ready for a disaster in Marion County.
In previous national disasters, such as September 11th, 2001, and Hurricane Katrina, the local public health infrastructure was overwhelmed and needed help.
Volunteers arriving at the incident site, without being trained, without known credentials or without being affiliated with an organization, often hurt instead of help recovery efforts despite their best intentions. Through hard lessons learned, we now know counties experiencing a disaster situation need pre-credentialed, screened and trained medical professionals. The MRC meets these needs by providing an organized, rapid response of medical volunteers in a disaster.
The Marion County Medical Reserve Corps recruits, organizes, and trains a group of community volunteers that will be involved in working with the Marion County Public Health Department and partners on public health preparedness, activities and exercises including:
Training will be provided to Marion County MRC volunteers to increase their emergency response skills and help prepare their families and communities.
The diverse backgrounds and skills of the volunteers with the Marion County Medical Reserve Corps give the organization the strength and depth that makes it successful and useful to the community. There are no requirements which you must possess prior to becoming a member. However, after signing up for the Marion County MRC, if you have any medical licensures or certifications, provide us with a copy to prove it is current. There are trainings which will be required of every Marion County Medical Reserve Corps volunteer in order to provide our members with the basic knowledge necessary to fulfill their roles as a Marion County MRC volunteer during times of emergency and non-emergency. Some of these trainings can be completed on your own time and at home.
To join the Marion County Medical Reserve Corps, click here.
If you have any questions please call 317-221-3133.
I am already a member, how do I update my contact information with the Marion County Medical Reserve Corps?

Brighton Rock (2010) | Review
By Don Simpson | September 1, 2011
Director: Rowan Joffe
Writers: Rowan Joffe, Graham Greene (novel)
Starring: Sam Riley, Andrea Riseborough, Helen Mirren, John Hurt, Philip Davis, Nonso Anozie, Craig Parkinson, Andy Serkis, Sean Harris
Pinkie's (Sam Riley) dead-eyed stare lends him an eerie soullessness while a scar across his cheek further magnifies his creepiness. As a low-level thug in a second-rate gang in Brighton, Pinkie overcompensates for his powerlessness with a sociopathic propensity for violence. A key witness in a crime that would certainly send Pinkie to the gallows, Rose (Andrea Riseborough) falls in love with Pinkie after one date — you know, because good girls always fall for the bad boys.
Pinkie never shows an ounce of kindness towards Rose, yet she knowingly puts her life at risk for him. Is Rose naïve or genuinely slow-witted? Why is a devout Catholic such as Rose willing to forsake heaven for the love of an unabashedly evil man? Is she merely looking for an escape from her working-class father's tyrannical control — a control he is willing to relinquish to Pinkie for a negotiated price of less than two hundred quid?
The only moment when Pinkie shows any sign of concern for Rose's well-being is when he opts not to knock her off. Instead, Pinkie marries Rose (with no ring), smartly comprehending that she cannot be forced to testify against him if she becomes his wife. Ida (Helen Mirren), Rose's boss at the local tea shop, attempts to explain Pinkie's motive to the all-too-daft Rose but it is too little too late.
Screenwriter Rowan Joffe's (The American and 28 Weeks Later) directorial debut is the second film adaptation of Graham Greene's 1938 source novel. Brighton Rock was first adapted by Greene and Terence Rattigan for director John Boulting. Also known as Young Scarface, Boulting's 1947 film stars Richard Attenborough as Pinkie. Revered by some as the pinnacle of British film noir, Boulting's version features gritty location shooting and a significantly different character dynamic.
Greene's novel and the 1947 film are deeply entrenched in metaphysical questions: the true nature of this world; the existence of God; personal freedom, or the lack thereof. The characters hold radically differing views on these subjects. Ida sees only the material world — Brighton's cheerful facade — not the squalor and crime of the underworld. She enjoys life, relentlessly over-indulging in sex and booze; but despite her amoral [read: Godless] behavior Ida represents the force of justice. She is a likable heroine, but we sense that Greene does not at all endorse of her opinions. Ida sets out to save Rose's mortal life, as Rose hopes to save Pinkie's immortal soul. Rose is conventionally "good" in a place where "good" and "evil" coexist; Pinkie and Rose live in a common world, a place where non-Catholics such as Ida are merely tourists. Brighton plays as a metaphor for heaven and hell; but for Pinkie it is mostly hell (he cannot fathom what heaven is like).
Jaffe's film severely tones down Greene's Catholicism thus muddying Rose and Pinkie's motivations for their seemingly self-destructive actions. Take the Catholicism out of a Greene story and what are you left with? Absolutely nothing.
Updating the time period from the 1930s to the mods versus rockers youth riots of 1964 further confuses matters. With this modernization, is Joffe attempting to suggest a relationship between Pinkie (and Brighton's seedy underground) and the rebellious youth movements of the 1960s? Could Joffe be trying to draw a correlation between the old (mobsters) and the new (mods and rockers)? But, other than a means to distract Brighton's vacationers from the violence of the local mobsters, the youth riots seem totally inconsequential to Roffe's narrative. As if a world of seedy mobsters is not harrowing enough, injecting the unrest between leather-jacketed rockers on motorcycles and fashion-savvy Mods on scooters into the backdrop of the narrative escalates the senselessness of the modern world. Teenagers arrive full force, and the older generations are rendered powerless. One could easily draw comparisons to the recent riots in London — and even though Joffe made this film well before those riots, the tone of his adaptation echoes the hopelessness of the propaganda being perpetuated by Conservative Britain.(That said — Brighton Rock is not nearly as propagandist as Harry Brown.)
This negative tone goes along with Joffe's ominous and gloomy [read: stereotypical] visual portrayal of the southern British coast. Cinematographer John Mathieson (X-Men: First Class, Gladiator) paints Brighton with noirish fog and shadows on the edge of a turbulent and jet-black sea; all the while, the characters bathe in heavenly natural light.
The sole benefit of relocating the film to this particular time period — other than the visual aesthetic, specifically the fetishization of fashion — is to add a splash of feminist complexity to Rose's character. Rose aggressively pursues Pinkie and does not flinch whenever he flexes his masculine aggression (such as when Pinkie drags Rose to the edge of the Seven Sisters). Rose reveals her independence and fearlessness when she steals Pinkie's money to buy a mod dress. (Is she taking sides in the riots?) Joffe's fleeting reference to the birth control pill all but confirms his intention for us to view Rose as a proto-feminist. But how many feminists — no matter how proto — would fall for Pinkie's line, "I like a girl who's friendly… You're sensitive, like me"?
The social and sexual upheaval of the 1960s would have provided an interesting backdrop for Pinkie, if only he retained the social insecurities, sexual repression and Catholicism of Greene's character. And despite taking place 30 years after the book, blades are surprisingly still Pinkie and the mob's weapon of choice — I often wondered how the presence of guns would have changed the chase and fight sequences.
We know Clyde loves Bonnie just as we know Kit loves Holly, but Pinky and Rose are among the most reprehensible couples in modern literature (and cinema). I am just not sure how I feel about Riley (Control) and Riseborough's (Never Let Me Go) performances. At least Joffe avoids sentimentalizing their relationship — well, except for the closing scene (which portrays a [quasi-religious] miracle that protects Rose from the hurtful truth).

Paula Deen rescued chickens in 2010, but they're not welcome in Wilmington Island, Georgia. While residents may legally own chickens in agricultural areas near Savannah, Deen's neighborhood isn't in one of those areas; accordingly, she's received a violation notice from Chatham County.
Nancy Assuncao, Paula Deen's publicist, said that Deen plans to "comply with whatever needs to be done." Do you think Deen should be able to keep her chickens?

Additional information
$120 – $272
A legend is told of a magical occurrence three – hundred years or so ago. In the mysterious backwaters of the Barataria bayous in Louisiana, a crop of spectacular golden pumpkins was discovered. The valuable vegetation grew in the murky area that was believed to be the secret hiding place of ill – gotten pirate treasure. This incredible discovery remained a mystery until the present day.
After Hurricane Katrina, a new harvest of incredible pumpkins surfaced along the bayous. The pumpkins were not golden, but multi – colored in hues of purple, green, and gold. Experts have analyzed the phenomenon and have speculated that high concentrations of Mardi Gras beads and doubloons found deposited near the colorful treasures enhanced their growth.
Still a mystery, scientists have named them Cucurbita Festivalis. Those lucky enough to own one call them "Mardi Gras Pumpkins™"!
Mardi Gras Pumpkins™ are colorful, beautiful and bring happiness to those who are fortunate enough to have them. They report that their lives have been enhanced by love, blessings, good friends and good vibes after finding Mardi Gras Pumpkins™.

- Snow Removal
Snow & ice removal policy
The purpose and intent of this policy is to outline the procedures used for snow and ice control, and an understanding of how they apply to the Town of Red Hook.
It is the goal of the Town of Red Hook Highway Department to provide cost effective winter maintenance in a timely manner to achieve passable, reasonably safe roadways during the snow and ice season for the benefit of the Town's residents and the general motoring public. However, at times the roads will be slippery and drivers will have to exercise caution, as the Town of Red Hook does not have a bare roads policy.
The Superintendent of Highways or a designated representative will perform all supervision of winter maintenance activities.
The Town currently uses 6 plow trucks, each equipped with a front mounted one-way plow, right side wing, and sander for the majority of its snow and ice control operations. A smaller dump truck with an all angle plow and slide in sander is used for smaller roads and maintaining Town owned properties. On occasion a pickup truck with plow may also be dispatched.
The Town currently has 8 full time employees who operate the Town's equipment. Additional help may be called in as needed to assist in plowing operations during snow and ice events.
Materials and Application
On paved roads the typical material used is a 50/50 salt and sand mix. The salt may be treated with magnesium chloride at a rate of 7 gallons per ton. The rate of application of materials depends on many factors such as type of precipitation, temperature, duration and intensity of the storm.
The Town of Red Hook is divided into 6 plow routes, approximately 10 miles in length each and taking about 3.5 hours to complete.
Level of Service
During Snow Storms
The initial effort for paved roads is an application of salt/sand mix to prevent the bonding of snow and ice to the pavement. Priority is given to main roads. Subsequent efforts during the storm will be the plowing of snow and re-application of salt/sand at intervals frequent enough during the storm to attempt to maintain passable road conditions. After the storm has passed, a final plowing to remove snow and ice shall be made along with a final application of salt/sand. In the event of severe icing there may be an increase of salt/sand application.
Follow-up after storms
Crews continue to monitor all routes for ice problems and/or drifting conditions and plow and treat as necessary. The following is a partial list of conditions, which could exist, that may hinder the efforts outlined in this policy.
Equipment breakdown Personnel illness Shortage of Materials Snow accumulation in excess of 1" per hour Assisting emergency responders Disabled vehicle An event that is expected to last more than 24 hours
Property Damage
The plows used by the Town of Red Hook are designed to deposit snow onto the shoulder area of the roadway, approximately four feet from the traveled portion of the road. This is typically the same area mailboxes are placed, as well as fences, shrubs, and garbage to be picked up. After heavy accumulations of snow the plow trucks may "shelf back" snow banks to make room for more snow and to help visibility. This may result in snow banks being moved another 6-8 feet off the roadway. The snowplow drivers make great efforts to avoid the obstacles, however sometimes damage does occur.
As a courtesy, it is the Town's policy to repair or replace mailboxes located in the Town road right of way if the Town Clerk's office is notified within 72 hours, the mailbox complied with USPS and Town of Red Hook specifications and was in good repair, and there is evidence of the Town plow actually contacting the mailbox. Items damaged by the weight of the snow alone (loose boxes, rotting posts, etc.), will not be repaired or replaced. The Town will provide a standard metal black or white mailbox and treated wood post. If the resident wishes to replace the damaged mailbox with any other type of mailbox or post on their own, the Town Board has approved a reimbursement limit of up to $100.00, after the resident installs the replacement mailbox and provides a receipt. Mailboxes that are damaged by routine highway maintenance operations and are replaced or reimbursed by the Town shall be re-installed according to Town Mailbox Specifications. You may read and download a copy of the policy at the following link: Town of Red Hook Mailbox Specifications
If you have any questions or concerns about proper mailbox installation, please contact the Highway Superintendent at 845-758-4615. We are available to assist and advise with proper mailbox placement for new or replacement installations.
Other Considerations
It is illegal to place snow from driveways, walks or other privately owned areas into the road. Violators can be ticketed for creating a hazardous situation. Basketball hoops must be removed from the right of way before November 1st. The Town will not be held responsible for damage to basketball hoops that are not removed. The Town of Red Hook has adopted the following parking regulations, in effect from November 15th to April 15th, which state that there is "No Parking on Town Roads from 11 pm to 7 am". Vehicles parked illegally or abandoned on roads are subject to towing at the owner's expense and may be ticketed. Residents are strongly encouraged to remove their vehicles from the roadway during any snow event in order to facilitate the town plowing operations and reduce the risk of property damage.

Twenty years ago this August, my wife, daughter and I moved from the Bush Hills neighborhood in Birmingham to the Forest Brook Community in Homewood.
On the day after we moved in, one of our new neighbors showed up at our doorstep with some pastries she had picked up specifically for us after church that Sunday. It was her way of welcoming us to the neighborhood.
That's how we met Mary Sue Lunceford and her husband Mabry. They were an elderly couple, but hardly seemed like it because they were so energetic and lived such active lives.
They became two of our most beloved and trusted friends and were very supportive of our teenage daughter Krystal in her studies as a pianist. I remember when Krystal wanted to go away for two weeks for a music camp before her 13th birthday and we were somewhat reluctant to give our permission. It was Mary Sue who convinced my wife Dena that it was OK to let Krystal go.
"Honey, that's just what they do at this stage," Mary Sue told Dena in her tenderhearted voice.
When we signed our wills and needed two witnesses, it was Mary Sue and Mabry who came along with us and they treated us to lunch afterward.
After Mabry died in 2000, I would visit Mrs. Lunceford — which is what I always called her out of respect — from time to time to see how she was doing and hear stories about their life together – that is when I could catch her at home. She continued to be active at church and with her friends and family.
Finally, at the age of 83, Mrs. Lunceford died on Dec. 29, 2003.
At Mrs. Lunceford's funeral, her pastor read a tribute that Mrs. Lunceford's son had written about her. It's something I wish I had written. Because another Mother's Day is upon us, I want to share with you what he wrote:
4/18/1920 – 12/29/2003
"Christmas is a wonderful time of the year. It is a joyous time, a happy time. It is a time that families gather to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. It is a time to celebrate love for our Heavenly Father and for other people. It is a time to recognize the sacrifice that God made to send his only son to this earth. We exchange gifts with others, symbolizing the giving of gifts to Christ at his birth.
"Quite often, in the days immediately following Christmas, we return gifts to exchange them for something else. This year I have struggled and agonized as I came to realize that I would have to return a gift shortly after Christmas Day, but there would be no exchange. This gift was not to be returned to a store. This gift was to be returned to God. The gift that I knew I would have to return was my Mother.
"My Mother was a gift to this world for 83 years. She was a gift to her friends. She was a gift to her family. She had so many wonderful qualities to fulfill all of her roles in life – a daughter, an older sister, a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a great grandmother and a friend to so many people. Mother had the ability to balance all of her roles and to excel at all of them. From the perspective of her only son, the two words that I would choose to describe my Mother are love and sacrifice.
"Mother loved her parents. You could always tell by the things she said that she loved them very much. She returned from a year at the University of Alabama to work in Montgomery, closer to home, to help her mother after her father died. She loved her brothers. If you picked on one of the Thompson children, you had picked on all four, including Mother. Her older brother Lane told me of a time when he had gotten in a fight after school. He was on the short end of it until Mother jumped on the other boy's back and got the best of him, ending the fight. Mother had a competitive, fighting spirit that she maintained until the end.
"Mother loved my father dearly. There is nothing that my Mother would not have done for him. They were always together, almost inseparable. Mother was extremely efficient and organized, but she sacrificed careers that she could have had to be with my father and to take care of her children. She was ready to go to the mission field with my father if that had worked out. A major part of Mother died when my father passed away three and one-half years ago. She was never quite the same after that. A void was created that could never be replaced. She had known him for all but eight years of her life. She had been married to him for 62 years.
"Mother loved my sister and myself with an unconditional love. She taught us fairness, loyalty and integrity. She taught us sacrifice in very real ways. Mother hated to get hot, much less to sweat. I played Little League baseball in the summers when I was growing up. Parents would have to "volunteer" to work in the concession stand. Mother would flip hamburgers over a hot grill on 80-degree nights in June because she loved her son and was willing to sacrifice her time and her feelings for her children. She had to have hated it, but she did it and never complained.
"Mother was very proud of her grandchildren and great granddaughter. The grandchildren called Mother "Gam," a name that Patrick, her oldest grandchild, derived at an early age when he could not quite say grandmother. "Gam sips" became legendary and dreaded because if Gam took a sip of your drink, you might as well head for the refrigerator to get another one. There would not be much left.
"Mother had a sense of humor, which she maintained to the end. Two days before Mother passed away, my sister and I were talking to her in the hospital. We had taken a break from the difficult waiting in the Waiting Room, and we had gone to the Bright Star Restaurant, one of Mother's favorites. When I told Mother this, she quickly cut her eyes toward me and said, 'Well, I'm glad someone is having a good time because I'm sure not.'
"So many people will miss my Mother. Her family certainly will. We should not dwell on the sadness that we feel in losing Mother. We should reflect on the many wonderful qualities that she had and on the memories that we have of her. We can all rejoice in knowing that the sadness that we have on earth is countered by the celebration that is going on in heaven. We can rejoice that Mother has returned to her Heavenly Father."
— Gene Lunceford
December 2003
I'm sure many of you can give similar tributes to your mother, whether they've passed on or are still alive.
My wife and I lost our mothers within seven weeks of each other in the fall of 1989, hers after a two-year battle with cancer and mine in a car accident. They molded and shaped the kind of people we are today. They made sacrifices for their children – me and my four siblings and my wife and her five siblings. We miss them, but they are in a much better place.
I think Proverbs 31 sums up what a mother is and does. Read it when you get the chance.
To moms everywhere: Happy Mother's Day.

Burn injury accidents that occur in the home or the workplace can lead to burned, charred, or collapsed lungs from inhaling smoke. Included in this category are things like second-hand smoke and heat inhalation. This is a dangerous part of the burn injury category.
After all, the inhalation of the toxic and harmful gasses during the burn is something that can linger well after the exposure to the initial heat wave.
Also, a survey done in 1997 by the National Fire Protection Association showed during their duties:
Table of Contents:
Smoke inhalation is an injury suffer-able by anyone in the proximity of fire-related smoke. Also, this is true, no matter how old or how young.
And individual trades and industries are hot spots for inhaling smoke and fumes, including:
The building, house and water heater fire does not only kill people. So along with gas explosions, and electrical fires, these can cause smoke inhalation injuries. Of note, smoke inhalation victims often suffer severe skin burns in accidents that produce fire.
Also, smoke inhalation can cause severe health damage to the victim. And is not always detected quickly. When severe smoke inhalation goes undetected or untreated, it can have serious health effects.
Just Who Are the Most Vulnerable Groups to Smoke Inhalation?
These include:
Inhalation injuries can occur in three different types. And more than one hundred known toxic substances can be in smoke from fires. Naturally, suffering smoke inhalation is dangerous and can be deadly.
The signs of smoke inhalation may not appear for between 2 and 8 hours after exposure to smoke. Being in an enclosed area filled with smoke is a way to suffer smoke inhalation. Hence, even when there are not burns, the lungs can get damaged.
Heat inhalation often happens in an enclosed area filled with chemical smoke. And symptoms occur between 2 and 48 hours after the exposure to the toxins in the smoke.
Treatment for heat inhalation of the victim starts with you moving them away from the area. So first you must get them to fresh air and providing oxygen. Mostly incubation is the treatment course. But this is only when there are early symptoms of upper airway obstruction. Of particular concern, between 6 and 24 hours, is when upper airway edema can be present.
And it is the earliest sign of damage from breathing hot air from smoke and fire. Suffering smoke inhalation caused by negligence is actionable. So this could be employers, defective products, or faulty equipment. But it could also be from another source of negligent actions.
And you may recover compensation. Did your family lose a loved one from negligent actions? Also, is your breadwinner out of commission? Now you can hold the negligent party responsible for getting an attorney.
Our burn injury lawyers have the experience and resources. And this is what is necessary to provide quality legal representation. Thus, you can protect your rights. Most of all, you can recover the compensation you deserve. But it is vital to consult a burn injury attorney immediately to get that justice you deserve.
Because the law limits the time you have to file a claim, you must act quickly. Contact ELFPI lawyers as soon as possible. Don't hesitate. Discuss your case and hold the negligent party responsible toll-free at (213) 596-9642.

Waltham, Mass., Nov. 8, 2013 – The No. 8-ranked Washington University in St. Louis volleyball team defeated Brandeis University (25-23, 22-25, 25-16, 25-13) in the University Athletic Association (UAA) Championship quarterfinal before falling to No. 6 Emory University (23-25, 24-26, 16-25) in the semifinal Friday afternoon at Brandeis.
Washington U. (26-6) will face Carnegie Mellon University (24-9) in the third-place match at 10 a.m. (ET) Saturday in Waltham. The Tartans earned a four-set win over New York University and lost in three sets to University of Chicago in Friday's action.
#8 Washington U. 3, Brandeis 1
Washington U. got off to a slow start in the first match of the day, hitting below .100 with 22 attacking errors the first two sets. The Bears held on for a 25-23 win in set one, but dropped the second set 22-25. After splitting the first two sets, Washington U. got on track in set three, jumping out to a 9-2 lead on a block by freshman Caroline Dupont and senior Tessa Blood. After a timeout by the Judges, Dupont got a kill to extend the lead to eight points. Leading 16-9 later in the set, Washington U. scored four straight points, including an ace by sophomore Allison Zastrow and a tip kill by Dupont, to make it 20-9 in favor of the Bears. Brandeis answered with a 6-0 run to pull to within 20-15, but Washington U. finished the set with a 5-1 run to win the third set 25-16.
The Bears built a 6-0 lead with six kills, including two each by senior Meghan Byrne and sophomore Nkiru Udenze, in the fourth set. Washington U. continued to dominate, extending the lead to 16-3 after two kills each by Dupont and freshman Alex Sheredy and an attacking error by the Judges. A serving error by Brandeis later gave Washington U. a match-point opportunity at 24-9, but the Judges scored four straight points before a kill by sophomore Anna Hunter ended the match as the Bears earned a 25-13 win in set four.
Sheredy and Dupont finished with 12 kills each to lead the Bears, while Byrne added 11. Sheredy and Byrne also recorded double-doubles with 14 digs and 10 digs each, respectively, while Dupont had a team-high five blocks. Sophomore Cassie Wang tallied a career-high 37 assists and eight digs, while Zastrow finished with 10 assists and hit .385 with five kills and no errors on 13 attacks. Freshman Kalehua Katagiri led the Bears defensively with a career-high 39 digs.
#6 Emory 3, #8 Washington U. 0
Emory grabbed an early 4-1 lead in the opening set, and held the lead through 13-10. Back-to-back kills by Dupont and Byrne, followed by an ace by Sheredy tied the score at 13-13, but a 4-0 run gave the Eagles the lead back for good. An attack error by the Bears made it 19-14 in favor of Emory, but Washington U. went on a 4-1 run, including three kills by Byrne to get to within 20-19. A serving error ended the run by the Bears and Emory got its first set-point opportunity at 24-21. Dupont hammered a kill off a one-handed set by Wang, and a second kill by Dupont made it 24-23, but the Bears' third serving error of the set gave Emory the 25-23 win.
Sheredy accounted for five of Washington U.'s first seven kills of the second set as the Bears took a 9-5 lead. Emory closed the lead to 12-9 but a kill by Udenze off an overpass, followed by a solo block by Dupont and a kill by Sheredy extended the lead to 15-9. Emory trimmed the Bears' lead to 17-16, before a kill by Dupont and back-to-back errors by the Eagles made it 20-16. A setting error by Emory gave Washington U. a 22-19 lead, but the Eagles went on a 6-0 run to turn the deficit into a 24-22 lead. A serving error and a ball-handling error by the Eagles tied the score at 24-24, but Emory finished the set with a pair of kills to win 26-24 and take a 2-0 lead in the match. The Eagles hit a blistering .429 in the third set to win 25-16 and seal the match.
Washington U. hit .136 in the match compared with .260 for the Eagles. Emory also had 10 team blocks, while the Bears finished with five. Sheredy finished with 10 kills, including seven in the second set, six digs and two aces, while Dupont also tallied 10 kills to lead the Bears offensively. Wang had a double-double with 16 assists and 11 digs, while Zastrow finished with 13 assists. Katagiri finished with a team-high 16 digs.
Bear Notebook: Washington U. leads the all-time series against Brandeis (37-0) and Emory (47-9) … The loss to Emory snapped a season-long 12-match win streak for the Bears … Byrne moved up to No. 12 on Washington U.'s all-time career kills list (1,246) and is 63 kills shy of entering the top-10.

The New Yorker, November 25, 1967 P. 56
A stranger gets off a train in Bullet Park, a wealthy suburb, and is met by a real estate agent named Howard. The story describes the empty despair of suburbia, the lack of meaningful existence, of romance and human dignity. The Wickwires, a very social though accident prone couple, who live in a $65,000 Bullet Park house, wake on Monday mornings feeling hollow, depressed, melancholy, dizzy and nauseous. The agent takes the stranger to see the $57,000 Heathcup house. Mr. Heathcup shot himself recently and his wife wishes to sell. There is a wonderful country club nearby if you are not Jewish. The neighbors, says Mrs. Heathcup, are wonderful people. Harry Plutarch, whose wife ran off with another man taking all the furniture, now lives with only a chair, a bed and, a parrot cage. Next door is Mr. Trawbridge, who refused to get out of bed last April and has been in bed ever since though there is nothing wrong with him. The stranger wants to live in a stone croft on a windy moor, in a Spanish fortress, an Irish castle, a Vermont apple farm - but the Heathcup house is the reality - commodious and efficient - and in his time one lived in such places. Probably he will buy the house.

Barclay College traces its beginnings to 1917 when the Friends Haviland Academy founded the Kansas Central Bible Training School in a new building near the academy. The academy had opened in 1892 and was the first secondary school in Kiowa County, Kansas. Born out of a desire for a strong evangelistic emphasis, the college immediately became a center for the training and preparation of pastors and missionaries.
In 1925, a two-year junior college course was added, and the name was changed in 1930 to Friends Bible College to more fully reflect the growing mission of the institution.
By 1968, supporters felt the purposes of the college would best be served by emphasizing the four-year institution. They consequently closed the academy and junior-college programs and embarked on a vigorous effort to secure necessary faculty and facilities. This effort resulted in widespread support from the community and the college constituency and received general recognition in 1975 with the granting of full accreditation by the American Association of Bible Colleges (now the Association for Biblical Higher Education).
In the Spring of 1990, the college adopted its current name in honor of the first Quaker theologian, Robert Barclay. For a more detailed description of Barclay's rich history, contact the college to receive a copy of "Lighthouse on the Prairie", written by Haviland resident and former president Sheldon Jackson.

ICS-CERT originally released Advisory ICSA-12-177-01P on the US-CERT Portal on July 05, 2012. This web page release was delayed to provide the vendor time to contact customers concerning this information.
Independent researcher Carlos Mario Penagos Hollmann has identified an uncontrolled search path element vulnerability, commonly referred to as a dll hijack, in Invensys's Wonderware InTouch application. Successfully exploiting this vulnerability could lead to arbitrary code execution.
ICS-CERT has coordinated the report with Invensys, which has produced an upgrade to address this vulnerability. Mr. Hollmann has validated that the upgrade resolves the reported vulnerability.
A vulnerability has been discovered in a common dll component used by InTouch and other Wonderware System Platform products. The following Invensys products contain the vulnerable dll and are affected:
• InTouch 2012 and all prior versions
• Wonderware Application Server 2012 and prior versions
• Wonderware Information Server 4.5 and prior versions
• Foxboro Control Software 4.0 and all prior versions
• InFusion CE/FE/SCADA 2.5 and all prior versions
• InBatch 9.5 SP1 and all prior versions, and
• Wonderware Historian 10.0 SP1 and all prior versions
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to arbitrary code execution.
Impact to individual organizations depends on many factors that are unique to each organization. ICS-CERT recommends that organizations evaluate the impact of this vulnerability based on their operational environment, architecture, and product implementation.
The Invensys Wonderware InTouch HMI is used in many industries worldwide, including manufacturing, energy, food and beverage, chemical, and water and wastewater.
The Information Server provides industrial information content including process graphics, trends, and reports. The Invensys Wonderware InTouch HMI Web Client provides access to these reports, analyses, and write back capabilities to processes.
UNCONTROLLED SEARCH PATH ELEMENT: InTouch uses an open or uncontrolled search path to find resources, which could allow an unauthorized user to easily locate and exploit one or more locations. An unauthorized user could place a malicious dll in a directory where it could be loaded before the valid dll. An attacker must have access to the host file system to exploit this vulnerability. The exploit is only triggered when a local user runs the vulnerable application and loads a malformed dll file. CVE-2012-3005 has been assigned to this vulnerability. A CVSS v2 Base Score of 6.6 has also been assigned; the CVSS vector string is (AV:L/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C).
EXPLOITABILITY: This vulnerability cannot be exploited remotely or without user interaction. The exploit is only triggered when a local user runs the vulnerable application and loads a malformed dll file.
EXISTENCE OF EXPLOIT: No known public exploits specifically target this vulnerability.
DIFFICULTY: An attacker with a moderate skill level would be able to exploit this vulnerability.
Invensys has provided instructions and a link to the software download that can be found here:
Any machine running one or more of the products listed above is affected and should be patched. No other components of the Wonderware installed products are affected.

Momming Today
Becoming a Mom is one of the best things in the world. I have loved every minute of the past 22 months since my daughter was born, but let's face it, momming today is a tough business. Just when you think you're doing everything right, someone comes along to tell you otherwise. "Well, I didn't do it that way…"
Everyone has an opinion, and there will always be someone who disagrees with you, even if you are following all guidelines (both from doctors and common sense). You just can't win!
Nearly every decision you make for your child can be controversial. It amazes me how people feel like your child-rearing is their business, and that they feel the urge to comment on EVERYTHING. Here are 5 Mom topics that seem to bring out all the Mommy shamers, no matter which side you're on. *Please note that none of these are my personal views. I made certain decisions for raising my daughter, and do not fault others for choosing differently. These statements are ones that I've either personally heard, or seen dominate online comment sections.
SAHM vs. Working Mom
If you're a SAHM, you're lazy…but if you are a working mom, you don't care about being with your baby.
Formula vs. Breastfeeding
Formula feed? How could you give your baby those chemicals??
Breastfeed? Put that thing away, and "Isn't that baby too big to be nursing? You're going to scar him for life!"
Disposable vs. Cloth diapers
Disposable diapers? You must not care about the environment, or what comes in contact with your baby's skin.
Cloth diapers? Eww…how disgusting!
Make your own baby food vs. Store bought
Make your own food for the little ones? Must be nice to have that much time on your hands.
Jar food? Do you even know what's in that?? Chicken nuggets? Ugh…how could you possibly let your child eat such crap?
*Note- I also said (prior to actually having a child, of course) that I'd never feed her nasty chicken nuggets…but hey, when that's the ONLY thing your child will eat, then nuggets and mac n cheese all around!
Focus on play vs. Focus on learning
Do you feel it's more important for your child to be running around and playing, rather than spending a significant amount of time studying their letters, numbers, etc? They are going to be soooo far behind their peers in school!
Moms who think it's important to teach these things as early as possible so their child is ahead of the curve? Geez, can't you just let your kid be a kid?
The point of this is that different things work for different moms. We are all unique, and will have differing views on what is best for us and our child. NONE of these choices is wrong, so long as your child is loved and cared for! Don't let the Mommy Shamers get to you. Finding our way as a Mom is often a difficult road…why can't we just love and support each other? After all, we're doing the best we can!
When the Baby Blues Don't Go Away
What are some other topics that seem to stir up controversy? Have you been shamed over a choice you've made for your child?

Adam Werbach to youth: You were born to save the planet. Find a way. Make a way. Do it now.
Aside from the continuing use of the annoying "save the planet" meme (the planet will be fine – it's really "save the humans from an ugly step-down crash") this is a great talk that Adam Werbach just gave recently to the Teens Turning Green conference.
