Enduring Legacy: The Story of Clarke County, Georgia's Two Ex-Slave Legislators—Madison Davis and Alfred Richardson by Dr. Al Hester marks the first time this heroic story has been fully told. This book will be of interest to Civil War and Reconstruction history lovers—especially emphasizing Athens and Clarke County.
This award-winning book (award given for the Outstanding Publication for Historic Preservation in 2011, by the Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation), throws new light on the efforts of ex-slaves to achieve their freedom, get the vote, and fashion a decent life in Clarke County, Georgia.
Davis took a moderate approach to heal relations between the races, but fought intimidation and abuse. Richardson, nearly murdered by the Ku klux Klan, killed one of the Klan in self-defense. His son-in-law strongly believed that Richardson was poisoned by his enemies at an oyster supper.
This book offers a worthwhile local history for Civil War fans and those interested in the difficult adjustments of blacks and whites during the Reconstruction period.
•Bonuses with Engaging Legacy are 20 pages of photographs and illustrations highlighting the Civil War and Reconstruction, along with portraits of members of the Davis and Richardson families.
•Enduring Legacy was published in October, 2010, and is available from amazon.com, many other sellers and Green Berry Press, the publisher (See Purchase Books).
•Readers can also purchase Athens Memories: The WPA Federal Writers Project Interviews, edited by Al Hester. This collection of 1930's interviews of white and black Athenians features their memories of Athens and Clarke County from as early as slavery and the Civil War and through the Depression. (See details on the Athens Memories Page).
A KKK Threat to Athens Freedmen's Bureau during Reconstruction Period
This threat by the terroristic Ku Klux Klan, which was active in Clarke County, was sent with a letter to Freedmen's Bureau Agent Howell Flournoy in 1868.
"You are suspected of belonging to the Loyal League so beware. For frauds committed by yourself and son you will before long receive your just reward. Your office and your house in danger. So beware."
(From Freedmen's Bureau Records in the National Archives.)
Madison Davis, pictured here, was one of two ex-slaves elected in April, 1868, to represent Athens and Clarke County in the Georgia State Legislature. The other ex-slave was Alfred Richardson. We haven't been able to find a picture of Richardson.

Enduring Legacy's front cover shows the struggle of African Americans to achieve equality in Georgia. The sculpture was commissioned by the Georgia Black Legislative Caucus.
African-American Historian Michael L. Thurmond has written the Foreword for Enduring Legacy. This African-American political leader is a native of Clarke County, and he became the first black representative from Clarke County since its ex-slaves Madison Davis and Alfred Richardson were elected in 1868.

Most of you have probably seen the AT&T commercials for the LG Expo and its cool projector accessory. Unfortunately, the projector isn't included with the phone (it's a $179 add-on), but that doesn't mean the Expo isn't worth a look. In fact, quite the opposite is true. With a speedy 1GHz Snapdragon processor and sleek interface, the LG Expo is one of the best Windows phones on the market today for business users. Admittedly, there are some minor issues, such as the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack, but the LG Expo packs all the necessary features and manages to do so in a more compact and sleek package than the HTC Tilt2. The LG Expo is available now from AT&T for $199.99 with a two-year contract and after a $100 mail-in rebate.
LG did a really nice job with the design of the Expo, combining both a full QWERTY keyboard and sizable touch screen into a relatively compact frame. The smartphone measures 4.45 inches tall by 2.16 inches wide by 0.63 inch deep and weighs 4.46 ounces. It's certainly not the smallest phone in the world, but compared with the similarly featured HTC Tilt2/HTC Touch Pro2, the Expo's more pocket-friendly stature is definitely noticeable and welcome. Plus, it's easier and more comfortable to hold while on a phone conversation and has a very solid construction.
With its more compact design, screen size is the first luxury to go. Unlike the Tilt2, which has a 3.6-inch display, the Expo features a 3.2-inch, WVGA (800x480 pixels) resistive touch screen that displays 16 million colors. Given the display's smaller size, we did end up using the stylus more often than we did on the HTC device. Also, like the Samsung Omnia, the stylus isn't housed within the body of the smartphone. Instead, you have to attach it via lanyard to the upper left corner of the smartphone, so you have an extra piece dangling off the side of the device. It's not a deal breaker, but we prefer a more streamlined design.
Despite these minor inconveniences, we really liked the LG Expo's display. It's vibrant and sharp, so we had no problems viewing media, text, or Web pages. Its matte finish also cuts down on a bit of glare. Its touch screen was responsive and the Expo has a built-in proximity sensor and accelerometer, though it only works in certain applications and takes a couple of seconds to switch from portrait to landscape mode.
As a Windows Mobile 6.5 phone, you get the new user interface enhancements of the updated operating system, such as the simplified Home screen and honeycomb Start menu. In addition, LG offers its own S-Class interface, which we saw back at GSMA 2009. You can switch the phone's default user interface completely over to LG's user interface through the Settings menu, but there's a bit of a learning curve (an online tutorial can walk you through all the features). Alternatively, there's an LG Menu on the Start page that separates all the phone's features into four rows of categories: Communications, Multimedia, Applications, and Settings. Within each row, you can swipe left to right and vice versa to access any of the applications.
Below the display, you get several navigation controls, including Talk and End keys, a back button, and a fingerprint navigation sensor that lets you unlock your phone with a fingerprint as well as navigate the menus. Though the security features is nice, the control doesn't really work as a navigator. It's too small to comfortably scroll up and down or side to side for that matter, so we barely missed it. We also wish that there was a Start menu shortcut so we didn't have to fiddle with the stylus to tap the Start icon at the top of the screen.
To access the full QWERTY keyboard, you simply push the screen to the right. The slide mechanism is smooth and the screen locks securely into place. The keyboard is excellent, its buttons are nice and wide, making it easy for even for those with wider thumbs. The keys also provide a nice tactile feedback and aren't too stiff to press, and there's no awkward placement of buttons to interrupt the flow of typing. If you're simply sending a short text message and don't feel like opening the phone, there is an onscreen portrait keyboard option, but be warned, it's pretty cramped.
There's a volume rocker on the left side, while you'll find a microSD slot, a multitasking button, and a camera activation-capture key on the right side. The multitasking key is particularly usefully as it brings up page that shows you thumbnails of all your open apps and lets you easily switch between them or exit out of an app completely. On top of the device, there's a power-lock button and a microUSB port that doubles as the power connector and audio jack, which means, yes, you have to use an adapter if you want to plug in regular headphones. To its credit, AT&T throws in an audio adapter in the box but it's still a cumbersome solution. Hopefully, LG will consider adding a 3.5mm headphone jack on its future devices.

|Why is a set of environmental reforms promoted in some political settings but not in others? We have noticed the effect of global and regional institutions on national policy reform prospects, especially since the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)'s Rio Declaration on Environment and Development in 1992. Globalization theories generally assume that international institutions are conducive to crossnational policy convergence. Theories of regionalization posit that the highly integrative European Union (EU)'s environmental policy frameworks have resulted in progressive policy reforms in EU member countries. Furthermore, as institutionally and socioeconomically more mature systems, established democracies and advanced economies are often considered more likely to accept untraditional claims for postmaterialistic, environmental values as policy options. In reality, however, not all of the advanced economies in Europe have comprehensively improved their environmental policies, despite strict EU policy directives. Meanwhile, without coercive regional policy imperatives, transitional democracies often exhibit farther reaching environmental policy implementations than established democracies. For example, Korea's extensive mandatory household separate waste collection systems and resource recycling policies present a research puzzle; what are the major sources and critical policy adoption mechanisms for its reforms?; This research seeks to understand the causal mechanisms of divergent environmental policy developments in established democracies within the EU and transitional democracies outside of the EU. In particular, I investigate the interlocking effect of global institutions, regionalization, national policy legacies, political culture, and transnational environmental advocacy networks (TEANs) on recycling policy reform processes in France and Korea since the 1990s. This research is based on both qualitative and quantitative analyses; process tracing methods and discourse analysis of interviews with key policymakers, professional experts, and environmental activists were used to capture major policy reform dynamics in the two countries. Based on my Environmental Organizations (EO) survey of 23 environmental groups in each country, the dissertation presents original data sets to document the development of and variation in TEANs in established and transitional democracies.; This dissertation's comparative analysis highlights the contextual effect of globalization and regionalization on the environmental policy reform processes of established and transitional democracies. Different from conventional assumptions, the transitional democracy and its mimetic policy learning efforts have been more receptive to global and crossregional policy transfer mechanisms than have the established democracy. In Korea, policymakers and the TEANs have been actively engaged in both crossnational and "crossregional" policy emulation and diffusion processes. Counterintuitively, EU regional policy imperatives have both enabled and constrained policy learning efforts in France; policymakers and TEANs tend to work mostly with their European partners through higher level of information exchanges within the EU and their geographical/cultural similarities. At the same time, however, they have been conditioned by bounded rationality and cultural constraints in ways that they work less with non-European TEANs. Furthermore, the transnationalization of the French environmental organizations turns out to be lower than that of Korea. The French TEANs' transnationalization has decreased since the mid-1990s, whereas their regional networks have been strengthened more than Korean TEANs'. In both established and transitional democracies, TEANs have evolved into critical actors with diverse access points to the multilevel governance in a global world, through resourceful, "enabling" strategies based on professionalized expertise and transnational networks.; These cases also demonstrate that it was more consciously driven mimetic reform initiatives of policymakers and TEANs in the transitional democracy that enabled both crossnational and crossregional policy adoptions. Thus, within the framework of policy transfer research, I highlight mimetic emulation as an analytically distinctive conceptual category, along with diffusive and coercive mechanisms.; Both the predicted and unexpected findings of the comparative research illuminate the significance of regional and national settings in which policymakers and TEANs work for policy reform. The divergent scope and distinct mechanisms of environmental reform in the established and transitional democracies should be understood through the extent to which policymakers and TEANs have exploited the interlocking and constitutive effects of national policy legacies and political culture on policymaking processes in a global and regional world.

Consider the standard Vandermonde $V(x_1, \ldots, x_n) = \prod_{i < j} (x_i - x_j)$. I am intersted in the calculation of the following expression for fixed $k$: $$\sum_i (x_i)^k (d/dx_i)^k V(x_1 , \ldots , x_n).$$ My guess is that it equals $c \cdot V(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$ where $c$ is an expression depending on $k$ and $n$ but not on the $x_i$'s. Is it true ? If yes, what is this constant $c$?
I think, if it is true, then it is pretty well-known. Would you be so kind to provide with the answer and/or proof and/or references? What can be the context people study it? Symmetric functions? Quantum Calogero-Moser?

MLB.TV Premium now $9.99 for remaining games
There are 238 games remaining in the Major League Baseball regular season, and now you can watch all of them live and out-of-market with millions of other fans for less than 10 bucks.
MLB Advanced Media announced Friday that it has dropped the price of its MLB.TV Premium yearly subscription to $9.99, the only available signup remaining for this dramatic homestretch. Rachel Becker will be the first to tell you to go for it.
On Thursday, the 28-year-old Braves fan in Richmond, Va., tweeted: "I literally don't remember what I did before getting MLB.TV, like what did I watch every night? No idea." We saw that and had to know more. Millions like her have watched live games this way over 11 years as the leading sports technology, and Becker, the administrative coordinator for Natural Resources International LLC, agreed to be a case study via email for why it works.
MLB.com: How long have you had MLB.TV, and how has it impacted your life as a baseball fan?
Becker: This is the first season I've had MLB.TV. I don't know how I got by without it before, because now I watch every game. A friend who was staying at our house for a few months had MLB.TV and would watch games, and my husband Mike and I got hooked. Being able to watch every game has increased my love of baseball and my team, the Braves. We now schedule things around Braves games, not the other way around. Some might say I'm obsessed.
MLB.com: Tell us how you use MLB.TV -- connected and/or mobile, what kind of devices, and if you watch games via the award-winning MLB.com At Bat app.
Becker: I watch MLB.TV anywhere and everywhere if there's a Braves game on, or any game we want to watch. We use my husband's Xbox at home with the TV, my iPhone with the At Bat app if we're out of the house or even out of sight of the TV, my desktop computer at work if there's a day game (shhhh), and my iPad when I'm traveling. My husband and I have gotten strange looks because we are watching the game on my phone and cheering in the middle of an aisle at the grocery store.
MLB.com: How does it feel knowing you and Craig Kimbrel both use MLB.TV with an incredibly high frequency? The Major League saves leader told MLB.com last month he watches it away from the ballpark to study his mechanics and scouts opposing hitters' tendencies.
Becker: Craig Kimbrel is my favorite Braves player, so having anything in common with him is amazing. The only thing better would be Craig watching MLB.TV with me.
MLB.com: So you're a Braves fan in Richmond, out of the club's market but not too far. Describe what that's like and how MLB.TV helps in that circumstance.
Becker: I live in Richmond, but I'm originally from a small town about two hours west of Richmond in Virginia. I was very excited to move to Richmond after college because at the time we had the Braves' Triple-A team to watch -- now relocated to Gwinnett County in Georgia. I've been a Braves fan since I was probably 10. At first, the only reason my twin sister and I started watching the Braves was because we thought Chipper Jones was the hottest guy on Earth. Turns out we both really love baseball and have been Braves fans ever since. We watched every game on TBS, cheering and screaming two inches away from the TV.
MLB.com: What is the feeling like now being able to watch a team that is closing in on the first clincher and hoping for home-field through the National League playoffs?
Becker: It's a really exciting time for the Braves right now, and baseball in general. I think I would go crazy not being able to watch every game and having to rely on score updates. Every game counts right now with the Braves trying to get that home-field advantage in the playoffs, and I don't want to miss a minute of it. I also love being able to switch between games with the tight races that are going on right now, and will be throughout the rest of the season.
MLB.com: Looking at your Twitter page, it appears that you and your friends have a live-tweet routine that surrounds the MLB.TV experience. How has that worked?
Becker: Live-tweeting about games is definitely a tradition now. Watching games is so much more fun when you're talking to other fans and I have met so many great people because of it. Because I don't live in Atlanta or get a feed that shows Braves games, I rely solely on MLB.TV to be able to watch the game with every other fan and interact with them. If you're not watching the game, it's not near as much fun to live-tweet. It's just not the same saying "what happened?!" the entire time and relying on everyone else for information.
MLB.com: While MLB.TV is a fact of life for a fan now, naturally nothing can duplicate the experience of being in the crowd at a game. Do you all get to any Braves games, and if so how often?
Becker: We always go to at least one game every weekend series that the Braves are at Nationals Park, since it's not far from Richmond. It is always fun being the enemy in enemy territory, and the Nationals have a great park. The last game we went to was when Paul Maholm was pitching and we shut out the Nationals and swept them again. It was amazing to be there for the sweep, the shutout, and doing the chop with the many other Braves fans there.
MLB.TV Premium includes a free subscription to At Bat 13 (the top-selling sports app of all-time) for iOS and select Android devices. You can watch games live or on demand in HD on your favorite mobile and connected devices, now including Blackberry Z10. It includes your choice of Home or Away broadcasts; lets you pause, rewind live game action with DVR controls and use Clickable Linescores; and permits PiP, Split Screen and Mosaic View.

When Aly Raisman was in London last week, winning two gold medals and a bronze on the floor, the balance beam and with her teammates, she knew she'd come back with some admirers.
Little did she know that one of them would be Joe Jonas.
On August 4, the pop star tweeted that Raisman and her teammates were "incredible." Less than a week later, still in full Olympic mode, Raisman, 18, told US Magazine just how happy that 64-character tweet made her.
U.S. & World
"I'm excited to get to know him," she said of the 22-year-old Jonas brother. "I would go on a date with him."
Raisman's affectioners go further than the music scene. Kendall and Kylie Jenner, co-stars of E! Kardashian reality show, expressed their fondness of the gymnast as well.
If she has time on her hands, amid her new superstardom, she may hang out with them, too.
"I would love to go shopping with them if they want to. They would probably take me to some really good place in California," Raisman told the magazine. "I love the way they dress, so they know where to go."

EDITORIAL: Gun groups lose 'law-abiding citizen' argument
Over and over again, "gun rights" organizations and the gun and ammunition manufacturing companies that bankroll them have used the term "law-abiding citizens" to argue against new restrictions on assault-style rifles, high-capacity ammunition magazines and even closing loopholes in the country's background check laws.
These regulations only harm "law-abiding citizens," they argue, not the "criminals" who are causing the gun violence in America's cities and in mass shooting murders such as Aurora and Sandy Hook.
The overwhelming majority of gun owners, including those who testified before the Connecticut General Assembly earlier this year, respect the law, are the "good guys with guns," and shouldn't be given a bad name due to the law-breaking actions of a few, they claim.
The problem, of course, is that everyone is a "law-abiding citizen," until they are not. That includes Nancy Lanza and her son. That includes the people who bombed the Boston Marathon last week and murdered a police officer (who was not saved by being armed, nor by 9,000 "good guys with guns" who were after the "bad guys with guns").
The other problem is that when some gun activists say "law-abiding," they are referring only to laws they agree with.
Gun manufacturers themselves are actively looking for ways to break the spirit of Connecticut's new law. The Hartford Courant's Dan Haar reported April 12 that gun makers were already working on prototypes for a gun that would allow the basic AR-15 to be sold in Connecticut through creative compliance with the law's ban on pistol grips and other features.
And at a rally in Hartford Saturday organized by the "Connecticut Citizens Defense League," the crowd cheered when speaker Michael Vanderboegh, a gun rights activist from Alabama, urged residents to break Connecticut's new gun laws.
"They will only pay attention to what you do. So defy them. Resist these laws. Evade them. Smuggle in what they command you not to have," Vanderboegh said.
According to the New Haven Register's report of the 1,500-person rally, "The loudest cheers came when he told them that on Thursday he smuggled a half-dozen 30-round magazines into the state."
"To Martin Looney, Don Williams, Larry Cafero and John McKinney, I'd like to say this: I just committed a class D felony, you tyrannical morons. ... Catch me if you can," Vanderboegh said.
He talked of a "civil war" brewing over gun regulations such as those passed in Connecticut.
People attending the rally held a large sign that showed the now-banned AR-15 assault-style rifle that was used to murder 26 children and educators in less than 5 minutes at Sandy Hook Elementary School with the words, "Come and take it." Another person held a picture of Gov. Dannel Malloy with a Hitler mustache and hair-style with the words, "Sieg Heil Malloy."
And Vanderboegh wrote in November: "VOTE: At least later on you can say you tried everything else before you were forced to shoot people in righteous self-defense of life and liberty."
All extremely troubling considering the arrest of a Barkhamsted man last week for threatening to kill Gov. Malloy. John Montysko was found in possession of an illegal AK-47 assault rifle when police questioned him about that threat. Gun rights activists such as Vanderboegh and the cheering crowd in Hartford Saturday would likely say that Montysko was right in keeping that AK-47 because it was wrong for the government to have a law against it.
These laws are unconstitutional, they argue, according to their interpretation of the 2nd Amendment.
And if a court finds that they are constitutional, as one recently did in refusing to hear a challenge to New York's new gun control law, well, then, the court is the problem!
Picking and choosing to obey the law based on which laws you agree or disagree with, and not accepting the constitutional process for reviewing the constitution, unless it agrees with you, is anarchism, not being a "law-abiding citizen." It's not even on the same playing field as those who respect the law and American democracy, and it's why rational discussion of this issue has been so elusive.

Yoenis outslugs Harper for Derby title
A's outfielder doesn't look back after 17-homer first round
NEW YORK -- Yoenis Cespedes' splendid night at Citi Field ended with a bat flip and a thunderous home run off the batter's eye, way past the Big Apple and two trucks stationed in center field, and it was absolutely perfect.
Cespedes is the 2013 Chevrolet Home Run Derby champion after outslugging Washington's Bryce Harper, 9-8, in the final. The outfielder's Derby-winning home run, a 455-foot rocket to center field, clinched the title for the Oakland outfielder, making him the first Cuban-born player to win the trophy.
Cespedes, who dedicated the contest to his 4-year-old son and had six family members in attendance, hit a total of 32 home runs and they averaged 405 feet.
"This stadium may be very difficult, but it's not as difficult as Oakland," he said. "And if I can do it in Oakland, I thought, why can't I do it here?"

The Cespedes show started early.
He launched 17 home runs in the first round, including several majestic shots into the third deck in left field and a 456-foot moonshot to center. His homers sent the crowd into a frenzy because each one seemed to move faster and farther than the previous one and secured him a spot in the finals.
"Before I came, they asked me if I was going to be nervous because I would be participating in front of possibly 50,000 people," Cespedes said. "When I was in Cuba, I participated in five Home Run Derbies. It wasn't 50,000 people, but it was 30,000 or 32,000 people and I wasn't nervous."
Cespedes didn't need to hit in the second round to advance to the final, but he did anyway, tallying six more homers and hitting one of the Chevy trucks in center along the way.
"That was the exciting part for us, but that's the reason why we put it out there was to give him a target to aim for, and bouncing off the hood was pretty exciting," said Chris Perry, vice president of Chevrolet marketing.
When Cespedes wasn't sending souvenirs into the stands, he was chatting with Reds closer Aroldis Chapman, his former teammate in Cuba, or receiving Derby tips from Boston's David Ortiz. Oakland coach Mike Gallego deserves some credit for throwing the balls perfectly into Cespedes' wheelhouse.
"Robinson Cano and David Ortiz came up to me and said, 'Don't hurry; take your time,'" Cespedes said. "When David Ortiz came to me during the first round, he said, 'Take it easy; slow down. You're going great.'"
The slugger's 17-homer first round tied for third all-time in a single round of the Derby with Ortiz's first round at Comerica Park in 2005. Josh Hamilton's 28 in the first round at Yankee Stadium in '08 are the most, with Bobby Abreu's 24 in the first round at Comerica Park in '05 sitting at second.
Cespedes also joined Rafael Palmeiro (2004), Hee-Seop Choi (2005) and Ryan Howard (2007) as players to participate in the Derby without having been selected as an All-Star. He is the first A's player to participate in the Home Run Derby since Jason Giambi in 2001.
"I would say [the Derby title] ranks second in my career, because in 2009, I was able to play in the World Baseball Classic against Major League players," Cespedes said. "I was able to play center field in those games, and that meant a lot."
The 84th All-Star Game will be televised nationally at 4:30 PT on Tuesday night by FOX Sports, in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and RDS and worldwide by partners in more than 200 countries via MLB International's independent feed. ESPN Radio and ESPN Radio Deportes will provide national radio coverage of the All-Star Game. MLB Network and SiriusXM also will also provide comprehensive All-Star Week coverage. For more information, please visit allstargame.com.
Cespedes will not be the dugout Tuesday because of a family obligation, but he's already had quite an experience.
"It's far different from in Cuba. There might be two people at our games," he said. " There's only one photographer, and this is completely different and foreign to me. But I'm very happy to be here giving an interview with all of you people here in front of me, and it makes me very proud."
Cespedes' night tied him for third on the Derby's all-time list, and he said he would have tried to hit more home runs in the second round if he would have known his ranking.
Maybe he'll get a chance next year. The outfielder said he is ready to defend his title.
"If I have the opportunity to play, to participate again next year, God willing, I will absolutely do so," he said.

The Linings
The accurate preparation and attention to the details is what distinguish a quality product. Among these details, one of the most important is the lining: its color guarantees a harmonic combination between the outside and inside of the book, and its texture creates a balanced link between the precious cover material and the finishing of the pages. Apart from these aesthetical reasons, the linings play a basic role in the mechanical connection between the cover and the block. For this reason only the best cloths are used to fulfill this essential function. The color palette is extremely wide, as is the refined choice of the spun cloths available.

Morning everyone,
I had to re-check that it really was time again for the Addicted to CAS challenge. This challenge runs fortnightly. Where did the weeks go. I can't believe it has been two weeks already!
Without further ado I had better get on. This weeks ATCAS challenge code word is "Heart" and the challenge is being hosted this week by my lovely fellow DT member Loll over in Canada. If you have not seen Loll's blog before, do pop over and have a look at the wonderful cards that she makes.
Lots of scope as always for this challenge. What does the word Heart mean to you. Maybe you are in the middle of making Valentine Cards. Hearts and flowers maybe or a heart shape card. The choice is yours.
For full details of the challenge, to see the amazing inspirational pieces by the DT and to join in the fun please click here.
Ok, I went for sweet "heart" neckline for this weeks challenge and here is my little CAS card.
I stamped the dress onto some cardstock, masked it and then spritzed it with some spray inks. Leaving the mask on I stamped the script. When it was all dry and the masks removed I coloured the dress and stamped the postage mark. I then just mat and layered it. The colours aren't really true on this. The card that looks red is really a lovely darkish plum colour but hey ho! Nothing in life is perfect.
That's about it from me today.
Thank you for calling in.

Basal cell cancer
Basal cell cancer
Basal cell cancer is a malignant skin tumor involving cancerous changes of basal skin cells. Basal cell skin cancers usually occur on areas of skin that are regularly exposed to sunlight or other ultraviolet radiation. Once a suspicious lesion is found, a biopsy is needed to prove the diagnosis of basal cell carcinoma. Treatment varies depending on the size, depth, and location of the cancer. Early treatment by a dermatologist may result in a cure rate of more than 95%, but regular examination by a health care provider is required to watch for new sites of basal cell cancer.

Fraternity History
Tri Delta was founded by women for women. Ours is a remarkable story, and Tri Delta is proud to share a sisterhood created by brave, bold and kind women who were looking to be themselves and belong to something bigger – something distinctive, something dynamic and something worthy of the best in them.
Although there were three women's groups represented at Boston University in 1888, seniors Sarah Ida Shaw and Eleanor Dorcas Pond saw a need for a different organization that would "be kind alike to all and think more of the girl's inner self and character than of her personal appearance."
Not only did these two young women create the framework of our organization, but they also created its Rituals and symbols, wrote its constitution and designed its emblems. All was finished on Thanksgiving Eve 1888 when the two embraced each other and declared "Tri Delta is founded."

First of all thank you for this theme. I'm a newbie and it seemed to be one with a lot of costumization and supports. These foruns are a perl.
Having an issue that didn't had before, don't know what did I clicked that made this go wrong:
Go to my Blog Page: http://oneupontherock.webege.com/?page_id=7 and notice how when the mouse enters the body area( I think ), all the text becomes underlined, like if it was a giant URL being hovered. I don't want this and would like to see it fixed.

Implementation 1st Railway Package on track
Brussels, Belgium – Correct implementation of EU legislation is one of the main priorities of the Commission. Three years after the deadline to transpose the European Directives of the 1st railway package, the European Commission reports today on concrete implementation in the Member States. Adopted in 2001, this legislative package is the first step aimed at reviving the railways by gradually creating a "railway area" which is integrated at a European level, in particular opening rail freight markets and to specify the conditions under which railway undertakings can access the railway infrastructure. The report concludes that legal implementation is completed; however, efforts have to be enhanced in some countries to ensure an effective regulatory framework and the satisfactory functioning of the rail service market. Member States must also complete the restructuring of their railway undertakings and adapt them to the new, open and competitive market context in the European Union.
Vice-President Jacques Barrot in charge of Transport said: "Implementation of the first railway package is crucial for revitalising the EU railway sector. Together with the 2nd railway package of 2004, the basic regulatory framework is now in place. Market integration in the rail freight sector already shows positive results in some Member States – we have witnessed new market entry and improved traffic performance. The modal share of rail freight has stabilised in Europe. It gives me hope for the future. The changes which have been started must now be completed in order to put the finishing touches to a European railway area which will serve European mobility and competitiveness."
Concerning the legal implementation of the 1st railway package[1], the report underlines that Member States have to ensure the strict neutrality of the company or body responsible for granting non-discriminatory access to the railway network. In this respect the Commission considers that a strict institutional separation between infrastructure management and rail service provision is one option to ensure the required neutrality. However, other options such as a holding structure are compatible with EU legislation as long as the organisational and decision-making independence of the infrastructure manager is guaranteed through appropriate arrangements. In order to provide maximum transparency, non-discrimination and contribute to legal certainty the Commission's services will assess the variety of solutions put in place by Member States, using a number of criteria defined in a working document: europa.eu.int/comm/transport/rail/overview/infrastructure_implement_en.htm
Member States must also endow their rail regulatory bodies and safety authorities with appropriate resources, competences and expertise. It is only in this way that they can function effectively to ensure non-discriminatory access to the network and a high level of safety. The full independence of these institutions is a key factor for their credibility.
For rail infrastructure charging, the report underlines the need to take the infrastructure charges for other modes into account. Rail infrastructure charges should be set at a level corresponding to the actual costs caused by rail traffic and should not be used for cross subsidies between freight and passangers.
The Commission also assesses trends in employment in the railway sector. After years of decrease mainly due to loss of competitiveness and to restructuring efforts to increase productivity, employment has recently been levelling off and new employment has even been created in newly set up railway companies and rail related services providers. In the future, efforts have to be reinforced to ensure an adequate level of training of the railway staff on open and integrated markets.
Finally the development of safety indicators for rail transport is very favourable. They show that the number of dead and wounded in rail accidents, which is already very small compared to other transport modes, is constantly diminishing while traffic volumes grow .
The report adopted 2006-05-03 was drafted following extensive consultations with stakeholders and is also based on the findings of a number of independent, external studies.
[1] Directives 2001/12/EC, 2001/13/EC and 2001/14/EC adopted in February 2001

Dawn McCarthy and Bonnie | 07/06/13
From the back pages of the acclaimed What The Brothers Sang album to the steamy shores of Malta comes the video for 'Omaha', directed by media artist, curator and filmmaker Ben Russell, in his first outing ever as a video director. Shoulder to shoulder, with only an ocean between them, Dawn McCarthy and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy sing of and through the veil of time as the clock runs forward and back, and man returns to the water at the resigned finish.
Watch the video for 'Omaha' below.
The creepy streets and discotheques of Italy along with the peaked hoods and robes make you think that some little dwarf is gonna jump out and stick Bonny, Donald Sutherland-style, but he lives to love another day, thank Job!
Ben Russell acquits himself nicely and employs some of his vaunted experimental techniques that have made his an international art house name. Drinking game - take one every time you see the Senator from Gladiator in the video. OR - take a drink every time you see Dawn and Bonnie play this song live this summer.
What the Brothers Sang is available on CD (WIGCD300), vinyl (WIGLP300) and digitally (WIG300D).
The new single, 'Somebody Help Me' will be released on July 1st digitally.

The weekend is almost here and can you believe in just three weekends, it's Christmas already. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.
Since I took a break last week on my "Random Friday Thoughts" since people were shopping and eating leftovers, here's a short version for this week.
UPDATED POST: early Saturday, December 3, 2016
If you follow my forecast on "Local 4 News This Morning" or my blogs for winter weather updates, you know I always tell you to keep up on the changing forecast when snow is coming. There's a good reason. Small changes in the forecast can have big implications.
Here's an update on the three weather systems that I first told you about Friday morning in my blog and on-air:
Saturday Night: Rain and snow will develop late and change over to snow.
Sunday: Moderate snow in the morning changing to rain in the afternoon.
Since the ground is still relatively warm and part of the precipitation will come down as a mix or rain, accumulations will mainly be on grassy and elevated surfaces.
We could anywhere for 1-3″ of slushy snow. It'll start to melt away during the afternoon.
Monday Night & Tuesday: Wintry mix still possible. It's not looking too impressive this morning.
Wednesday and Wednesday Night bigger snow: This may very well not happen! Stay tuned. The cold air will definitely be coming in late week!
However, since we may not get a blanket of snow Wednesday night and Thursday, lows later in the week may only drop into the teens and not the single digits.
If we get a blanket of snow Wednesday and Wednesday night, then lows in the single digits are still possible.
Stay up on the latest forecast. This is a developing and changing weather pattern.
ORIGINAL POST: early Friday, December 2, 2016
After the third warmest November on record in the Quad Cities, winter will be making its return to Iowa and Illinois to welcome December.
Over the next week, we have three chances of seeing some snow accumulation.
Late Saturday night and early Sunday, snow may accumulate on grassy and elevated surfaces. Early indications show an inch or two possible. That will melt away Sunday.
Another system could bring some grassy accumulation Monday night and early Tuesday.
However, we could be seeing a winter storm Wednesday and Wednesday night. As of this writing, there is low confidence in the details and the models are not very consistent.
This will have to monitored closely because depending on how this develops, we could be talking little or no snow or a lot of snow.
One thing is certain. Late next week, we'll see the coldest blast of air this season with highs only in the lower half of 20s and lows could drop to the single digits!
If you grew up in the 1970s and 1980s (and through "The Lion King" and "Candle in the Wind", the 1990s), you have been touched by the genius of Elton John's music.
During that same time period, you also heard a lot about Elton's personal life since he was a pop music superstar. That's an understatement — he's an icon.
He's also a great humanitarian. His 2012 book, "Love Is The Cure: On Life, Loss, and the End of AIDS", he shares the struggles he went through to give more of himself to fight HIV and AIDS.
If you missed my thoughts on Elton, the book, and "World AIDS Day", here's the link.
After you read the touching stories in that blog, check out the book. It's an incredible read.
Since we're talking about AIDS, Donald Trump's Deputy National Security Adviser pick, Kathleen Troia "KT" McFarland is a monster behind that pretty smile.
In 2006, when the New York Times Magazine was writing an article on McFarland, they found a 1992 letter she wrote to her parents shortly after finding out her brother, Michael Troia, had AIDS.
She reportedly wrote, "Have you ever wondered why I have never had anything to do with Mike and have never let my daughters see him although we live only fifteen minutes away from each other?" She added, "He has been a lifelong homosexual, most of his relationships brief, fleeting one-night stands."
Michael died of AIDS in 1995.
McFarland goes on to elaborate and say that her father was an abusive parent, who beat them with belts and waved guns in their faces.
Responding to the allegations, her father denied them and offered to take a lie detector test. Her other brother, Tom, living in Janesville, Wisconsin, at the time of the magazine article replied, "If I had one word to describe my sister, it would be 'evil.' "
Not surprising, the people Trump has chosen for his cabinet are all anti-LGBT.
It's going to be a fun four years! (Note: sarcasm.)
Since I opened Pandora's box by mentioning his name…
Pre-election, Donald Trump talked about a "rigged" election. When he won the electoral vote, there was no big proclamations from Trump about the rigged elections.
Now that there's talk of recounts in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, Trump has plenty to say, especially in incoherent tweets and rants.
He's even saying that millions of California votes are illegal.
Even in victory, he's such a "sore loser". It might have something to do with the fact that he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by more than two million votes and that number is still climbing as votes are still being counted. Little man!
Hey, Donald, why don't we just have a total recount or better yet, why don't we have another election before the holidays and monitor the voting process even closer.
One final note and I actually agree with Trump on this one: Burning an American flag is just wrong (but allowed by the freedom of free speech).
However, here's where I disagree with him.
Being threatened with losing citizenship or being imprisoned for burning the American flag sounds a lot like Russia — but, then again, Donald and Russia are friends, so I hear!
"The Queen of Soul" is earning mixed reviews for her Thanksgiving Day performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Vikings-Lions football game.
The gospel-tinged song clocked in at 4 minutes and 35 seconds.
Comments on the performance have ranged from "stirring" and "memorable" to "punishingly long".
YouTube "thumbs up" and "thumbs down" are two to one positive.
What do you think?
Season 7 of "The Walking Dead" started off strong with the second highest ratings in the series history with 17 million viewers.
Last weekend's episode dropped to the lowest ratings (10.4 million viewers) since season three when the ratings were still rising.
The fifth and sixth episodes this season were two of my least favorites. Maybe I should look at it as a baseball game. Those two episodes were strikes, so either this weekend, I need a base hit or I'm out. I'm not interested in a foul or a ball.
Bring Rick (Andrew Lincoln) back and you'll, at least, have my attention!
I'm not saying I want the show to be cancelled, but if it doesn't come to life soon, maybe an end date should be set!
As the days get shorter and winter settles in, we find ourselves watching more television and movies.
I highly recommend "Captain Fantastic", which just hit DVD.
This little-seen movie in theaters is about a family living in the forests of the Pacific Northwest away from the trappings of modern life.
Viggo Mortensen plays Ben Cash, the father of six children, who has to decide how to keep his family together after the death of his wife.
It's a shame that this movie only made $9 million in theaters. It's incredible and now you have a chance to see it at home.
Spoiler Alert: Seeing Mortensen's penis should NOT be reason enough for a warning at the beginning of the movie with "Brief Graphic Nudity". As his character says, "it's just a penis!"
Wouldn't "Brief Nudity" suffice?
By the way, on Thursday, Mortensen was nominated for a "Critics' Choice Award" for "Best Actor in a Comedy". While I'm happy for the nomination, I have to ask, "comedy"??? There are funny scenes in the movie, but this leans more toward a drama to me.
Another great performance in the movie was from George McKay, who played Mortensen's son, Bodevan.
Since I just mentioned the "Critics' Choice Award" nominations, "Hell Or High Water" was nominated for six — "Best Picture", "Best Director", "Best Original Screenplay", Jeff Bridges and Ben Foster for "Best Supporting Actor", and "Best Acting Ensemble".
Chris Pine, Bridges, and Foster are incredible in this crime caper about a couple of brothers (Pine and Foster) on a bank robbing spree across west Texas.
Bridges plays a Texas Rangers nearing retirement when he gets the assignment of catching these small town crooks.
What makes this story compelling is learning the motivation of why the brothers need the money.
What's also thrilling is that you know things will probably turn out badly for some or all of the characters. It's a crime drama, so don't expect a truly happy ending.
I love Christmas and I always smile when I hear people get bent out of shape about those who write "Merry Xmas". That takes "Christ" out of "Christmas".
But, what about the "Christians", who conveniently leave "Christ" our of their life. Those are the ones I have issues with in this blog I shared last week.
Many have checked it out and here's that link if you didn't get a chance to read it. (It'll open in a new window, so you can continue reading today's blog.)
Happy whatever you celebrate this holiday season!
Each Christmas, I buy some of the new holiday offerings. This year, I got "Glow" by Brett Eldredge and "A Very Kacey Christmas" by Kacey Musgraves and would recommend both of them.
I also bought the latest Straight No Chaser album, "I'll Have Another…Christmas Album" and I really wish I had said, "No thanks."
Don't waste your time or money on it. Instead, pick up their other two Christmas albums, 2008's "Holiday Spirits" or "Under The Influence: Holiday Edition".
Earlier this week, I also decided to give "This Christmas" by John Travolta & Olivia Newton-John from 2012 another listen.
I've avoided this album for four years now!
This is what I wrote about it at the time: "I'll get the bad news out of the way first and then focus on the good. The opening song, "Baby, It's Cold Outside", is probably the worst version I've ever heard. As much as I love Olivia, she couldn't get "Physical" enough to save this disaster! Three songs later, "This Christmas" would have been better without John's vocals."
On the listen four years later, their version of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" is still painful and the worst version I've ever heard.
However, while Travolta is definitely the weak link and Olivia soars as usual, I enjoyed it a lot more this time and Travolta actually does a decent job on "Silent Night" and a few others.
What I wrote four years ago about "I Think You Might Like It" still holds true today, "It's a very fun song and if I close my eyes while listening to it, I see Danny & Sandy in "Grease" dancing to it around the Christmas tree."
I've never watched "The Real O'Neals" on ABC Tuesday nights, but this scene looks pretty funny and that so would have been me as a teenager if I had gone to a gym.
16-year-old Kenny (Noah Galvin) wants to check out the fitness center after seeing a sexy guy on the cover of a brochure.
This seems like the perfect time for the original again.
Olivia Newton-John's "Physical" was the biggest song of the 1980s. It spent ten weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 from November 1981 to January 1982!
With all the craziness in the world, make it the best in your little part of it!

Derry Church School
*** 2003 Preservation Award Winner ***
Born in Derry Township, Milton S. Hershey (1857 - 1945) attended this one-room schoolhouse during the winter of 1863-1864. Built in 1844, this was the first of seven schools he attended before apprenticing to a Lancaster, PA. candy maker at age 14. After business failures in Philadelphia and New York, Hershey realized success with his third venture, the Lancaster Caramel Co. (est. 1886). The Hershey Chocolate Company was established in 1894. Hershey broke ground for a new chocolate factory and model town here in 1903. His home "High Point" sits on the hill above. Prior to its 1961 restoration by Milton Hershey School students, the schoolhouse served as the Hershey Country Club caddy house. (Inscription on the Marker)

February 16th, 2014 | By QGODFEAR
In such a perilous time when so many have become lost along this intricate path called life. QGODFEAR reminds us all to tap into our personal "UPPA ROOM". The UPPA ROOM is that mental, spiritual, physical place we go to for Truth, Peace & Guidance from GOD the Father. The Lord is our everlasting anchor whom Loves each of us dearly. He Loves us so much, that as many become what scripture says in
Ezekiel 12:2 "Son of man, you are living among a rebellious people. They have eyes to see but do not see and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious people.
He will turn us all over to our desires, and for many those desires are fleshly and from hell. The "UPPA ROOM" Mix tape goes in deep where no other artist has! Due to the Spiritual Political Truth's over high quality Production will most definitely Uplift, Renew, Bring Hope and conviction, with a seed planted or watered to be better.
"I put my Heart and Soul into every song I do and with the "UPPA ROOM" CD, I chose not to have many features. I took it back ole school as far as when you heard Marvin Gaye, Barry White, LL Cool J, RUN DMC, PUBLIC ENEMY or ERIC B & RAKIM it was them, their art, and not a saturated feature CD or a bunch of name drops . I wanted to give my audience the QGODFEAR experience straight up, Alarming music, for quickly changing for the worse times. If only one song moves you closer to God, I have done my Job. I always try to approach projects with the mind frame that no one feels my Spiritual Political music mixture. With that thinking, on each project, I promise to go as deep as God allows me to, with the mission to help folks sharpen discernment and see the obvious facts. What do each of us live for if not Spirit & Truth? a lie? We owe the Truth our lives! for the truth died for all humanity's sins and I believe my music should represent me paying GOD back my life debt. Most artists have sold out for fame & fortune, when the truth is most will not make it. As I've always stated before, THE MOVEMENT WILL NOT STOP Pushin a hardline for truth, equality and justice for the righteous. – QGODFEAR
* For HIGH QUALITY Wav. singles from The UPPA ROOM CD Please purchase via
Thank you in advance for your support,

Liberace mansion buyer plans to restore house to former glory
Photo: AP
LAS VEGAS >> The British businessman who bought Liberace's 15,000-square-foot Las Vegas mansion says he plans to work on it relentlessly to restore it to its former glory.
Martyn Ravenhill told The Associated Press on Friday that he's been a huge Liberace fan all his life as well as a lover of Las Vegas. He says he learned of the mansion being up for sale after finding a video about it on YouTube.
The mansion sold for $500,000 to Ravenhill, who seemed surprised by the international attention the purchase has brought. The mansion went for $29,000 below its list price and about $3 million less than it was sold for seven years ago.
Ravenhill says the mansion is a piece of American history that needs to be protected.

The resolution is controlled by 3 factors:
The resolution setting controls the output slit disk. This disk has a fixed number of slits in it. Since the setting only control one of the factors that determines the resolution, and the disk has a fixed number of slits, the set value may not always be the actual resolution. Keep in mind the OSA does calculate actual resolution and displays it on the soft key where you select the resolution you want. Also note that sometimes the actual resolution is better than the selected and sometimes it is not. Please view the atached PowerPoint slides that explain how the OSA resolution works.
Yokogawa's AQ6370 Optical Spectrum Analyzer is Re-defining Optical Spectrum Measurement Excellence!
High performance with a 20 picometer wavelength resolution supporting 25 GHz DWDM spacing and 40G/100G applications, this OSA also supports non-Telecom applications with a wavelength range from 600nm to 1700nm.
Unique LONG wavelength range of 1200 to 2400 nm makes this the world's first and only OSA specifically designed for use in advance applications such as Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO2) gas detection and LIDAR.
Dedicated SHORT wavelength Range of 350nm to1200nm allows this model to accurately measure the visible spectrum of 380nm to 780nm for bio-sciences and beyond. It is also a popular tool for measuring 1064nm Nd:YAG, DPSS Laser sources.
An Optical Spectrum Analyzer (or OSA) is a precision instrument designed to measure and display the distribution of power of an optical source over a specified wavelength span. An OSA trace displays power in the vertical scale and the wavelength in the horizontal scale.
Yokogawa offers solutions to measure both traditional and cutting-edge optical components and systems, serving the increasing demand for high capacity fiber lines, and new component technologies.

Well, I give the bulls credit for at least halting the bears momentum, however that was a pathetic counter offensive launched today and all they really managed to do was give the bears time to catch up their supply lines (work off oversold).
I'll admit to being as unsure as the next guy as to the EW count. I do think I have the important trenchlines roughly outlined and the bears are still in firm control. I am going to look to lighten up and take troops home or hedge slightly long around 800 where I indicated the bulls might try to mount a last ditch defense if we get more sell off. At some point the bulls are going to mount a serious offensive challenging the entire move that started yesterday. Always best to be cautious and book little gains during each step along the way. You can always redeploy the troops later. Right now the new yellow down channel I have as the 3 of 5 of C is my new major guide post. As long as the bears maintain that momentum I feel comfortable having my troops on their side.
On the daily chart I'm going to go ahead and make my first prediction. We have another St. Patricks day bottom exactly one year to the day after the BSC bottom on March 17 around 675. There's still a lot of fighting to do between now and then, but that's where the important trenchlines are pointing right now.
So find me an evening star (the 3 candle pattern of the previous three days; big green, indecision, bigger red –) that isn't followed by a spinner and then continuation. Even the XLF morning start formation off the July low had a spinner the next day and then continuation. I've found 20 plus of these scanning a bunch of charts and they all have spinners and continuation or in the rare case immediate continuation with no pause. I can't really find examples of this pattern failing just surfing charts.

DoctorMad Update – The General makes a bold prediction…
As always the battle maps look ready and clearly display the trenchlines. The General makes a bold battle prediction and finds a tie breaking pattern that could determine the path for the near term…

Bringing Back God...or Chuck
In a recent article, Rob Benedict talked about the difficulty of bringing his character back. "It's so self-conscious…" he says. "It's kind of hard to just have him walk through the door and be like 'Hey, how's it going'?"
I don't think it's hard at all! You just have to love Chuck and Rob Benedict enough to be motivated to find the solution. :)
I think Chuck was not meant to be God from the beginning of his story thread. I just can't buy that God would sit alone in a ratty bathrobe and dial up porn while drinking bad whiskey. Yes, he took on a role to hide his true identity from the boys, but when they weren't around, who was he playing for?
Therefore, I think Kripke came up with that very fitting closure to his tenure as showrunner well into the season. It made "early Chuck as God" a little unbelievable, but now it makes bringing Chuck back super easy.
I don't think they have to bring Chuck back as God, or bring the "real" God onto the show at all. So far, God's presence—except for that one episode in the final moments of the Big Battle—has been off screen. He's done incredible things, like bringing Cas back (twice, really, and geez, this is how Cas repays him?!), but all from afar. Gentle nudging of events, not direct interference. Cas isn't the first being to declare himself lord and master, so God really doesn't have to change his behavior. If he wasn't going to jump in to prevent the apocalypse, he's not likely to show up for this poser.
Sam and Dean don't know that Chuck was "God." As far as we've seen, they haven't tried to find or contact him since Sam went into the pit. They can do a quick explainer, of course. Dean saying, "Dude, I tried to call you like fifty times." Or they can just admit to having been so wrapped up in their own issues they didn't think about him.
But what do Sam and Dean think happened to Chuck? (Rhetorical question.) If God only took Chuck's role for a short time, where did Chuck go during that? Maybe he was sleeping some real, awesome, dreamless sleep while God took over his prophet duties. Maybe, when he woke up, he realized he could have his life back. Or actually have a life. He wrote a new book, all his own ideas, and sold it and became a bestseller. In the meantime, he worked in a toilet paper factory (because it takes a long time to get from Page One to NY Times Bestseller list).
Okay, that established, what kind of storyline could draw Chuck back to the screen for us? Throw out some ideas!

Staunton�s culinary coup
Zynodoa, Staunton's stylish contribution to southern cuisine, the local food movement, and big city chic, raised the bar recently by hiring chef Michael Lund, who comes to the restaurant after six years at The Inn at Little Washington, where he trained with culinary icon Patrick O'Connell.
This is a real coupe for Zynodoa. After all, Lund has had to cook for celebrity chefs like Julia Child, Charlie Trotter and Alain Ducasse, not to mention the occasional royal. For crying out loud, the Inn was voted "Best Hotel Dining in the World" by Travel & Leisure magazine readers last year. And if Zynodoa was local food-focused before, it's even more so now, as Lund works closely with local farmers, including the Staunton area's most famous farmer– indeed, quite possibly America's most famous farmer– Joel Salatin of Polyface Farms.
Lund calls his new Zynodoa menu "refined southern cuisine– simplified." For example, the autumn menu includes a fried green tomato and Surryano Berkshire ham appetizer, Polyface Farm chicken parmesan, and a shrimp and grits that uses Hawaiian prawns and fried okra. You can check out the entire menu on Zynodoa's website.

Coup or coupe?
Does this mean they will start serving soupe?
