Story– Iva Heuser named Senior of the Year
Ask Iva Heuser why she was selected "Senior of the Year" and the former teacher pauses before answering.
"I'm useful, I guess," Heuser said.
To appreciate the depth of that assessment, take a peek into Heuser's personal history.
Born in Long Beach in 1931 just ahead of the Great Depression, Heuser's first 10 years of life witnessed widespread fear and scarceness. As the economy plunged, necessity brought people together.
"I was raised in a time when folks helped each other," the spunky senior said.
Surviving the depression era took hard work, patience and a charitable nature, qualities Heuser learned from her mother Rachael and step-father Walter Aistrup, lessons which would serve her well for a lifetime.
Heuser and her sister were born before their mother was 20. Their natural father died shortly before Iva arrived.
"Mother was a waitress, and would run home at lunch to see if we were okay. Sometimes the daycare sitters came, sometimes not. We were latch-key kids before there were latch-key kids. We managed all right in our tiny row house, with its army cot and Murphy bed. We were fortunate. Later, mother remarried and my step-dad joined us. He drove a truck during the depression," Heuser said.
Her mother Rachael would become a seamstress during the war and an activist in the Women's Labor Movement of the 1930s.
Ever expansive, young Heuser was selected by her school to receive a violin. It turned out to be a good choice. Years of lessons and practice landed her in the Long Beach Women's Symphony Orchestra.
"Give her an opportunity and she'll take it to another level," said Kellie Bailey, an El Dorado County Senior Center employee who was Heuser's high school student 40 years ago. "It's just the way she is."
Heuser's childhood friend Harry Heuser was her constant companion and school mate. They became high school sweethearts on and off, finally marrying in 1950 — just in time for Harry's entry into the Korean war. He survived and wound up at Beale Air Force Base in Northern California.
"I fell in love with the foothills," he recalled. Then it was back to Southern California with Iva, and resumption of his career with Bell Telephone.
The sweet sirens of the Sierra called, and in 1956 a transfer was approved, and the couple moved to Placerville.
Two children had arrived by then, (eventually there would be five).
Heuser, now a teacher at Latrobe School, returned to college for a master's degree.
Latrobe School was tiny but fast growing, and much coordination fell to her. Soon, administrative duties began competing with her teaching hours.
"Do one thing at a time," she reflected on life's lessons. "And do it well."
Heuser became school principal, successfully managing the new building programs, PTA, teachers concerns and five kids at home.
Greater opportunity was at hand, but she shunned management positions.
"Understand, I'm a worker-bee, not a queen bee. I like to put my head down and focus," she said.
In 1982, Harry retired from the phone company. Iva left the school system, but her industrious nature led to part-time work with Eldorado County.
Her pattern of applying organizational skills to administrative challenges continued for more than 10 years, first in the El Dorado County Agricultural Department, then Animal Control and finally in the District Attorney's office.
This county career was punctuated by forays into Alaska with Harry.
Somewhere along the line Habitat for Humanity, the home building charity, got her attention, and before long she was hammering nails and organizing paperwork as a volunteer. That lasted 10 years.
"She's capable and reliable" observed Harry. "Responsibilities always find her."
During this time Harry had begun working for the county nutrition program and home delivered meals.
This program which prepares and delivers hot meals to those in need, wasn't much of a leap for the Air Force veteran and pilot.
For 50 years he has been a cook for the annual Jeepers Jamboree, preparing tens of thousands of hot meals every year for wilderness enthusiasts.
"What's 500 meals a day?" he joked with a straight face.
These days Harry delivers the meals, leaving food preparation to the non-drivers.
It wasn't long before Iva began asking what she could do for the overworked and understaffed county senior department.
"You can file," suggested Ruth Green, senior nutrition manager.
That led to more responsibilities.
Iva makes qualifying home visits, types, files, works budgets, prepares meals, sets tables, cleans up and sorts keys.
Sorts keys?
She points out the endless cabinetry at the senior center.
"Two hundred storage units, each with a unique key. Imagine my surprise when I opened a desk drawer and found bags and jars of keys, none identified. Knowing this would be a big job, I enlisted my right arm, Darlene Rondo. We set about making sense of the keys, one by one — testing, recording, organizing," she said.
Helpers like Rondo take pressure off the employed staffers.
The county senior center is a clearing facility for a variety of services from insurance counseling to home energy assistance, from nutrition (meals at the nutrition sites and home delivered) to legal assistance for the elderly.
Other outreach programs include weatherization, protective services, peer counseling and shuttle services. The list goes on.
"As county employees retire they're being replaced by volunteers," Heuser said.
"It's a budget thing. The work load isn't getting any smaller … and we do need new faces up here to help."
Thus the indefatigable duo, Iva and Harry Heuser, are still teaming up after 63 years of marriage and a lifetime of friendship.
Both were nominated for the El Dorado County Senior of the Year award last year.
Iva won it by herself this year, and received an official certificate, a handsome medal, and a Bennett sculpture which she'll keep for a year.
This depression survivor, violinist, educator, pilot, mother, wife and community volunteer won't run out of work, the way things are going.
Her plea goes out to everyone.
"If you have the time and energy, please come down here and join us. It's quite satisfying," she said.
So what happened with the project involving the keys? "We're almost done," she said smiling. "Almost done."

Queensland public records are at risk of being lost or damaged in disaster events. The loss of public records, including vital records, in a disaster significantly impact on a public authority, and result in a loss of corporate memory.
Queensland State Archives provides the following advice on disaster preparedness and recovery:
In unusual circumstances such as natural disasters (e.g. floods), authorisation for the disposal of damaged public records or notification of lost records may be required to ensure public authorities remain compliant with the Public Records Act 2002 (the Act).
The disposal of public records is covered by section 13 of the Act and more specifically, Information Standard 31: Retention and disposal of public records. Under the Act, the disposal of public records must be authorised by the State Archivist. Such authorisation is usually given in a Retention and Disposal Schedule.
In response to such disasters, Queensland State Archives has developed two forms and a tool for listing damaged or lost public records.
The two forms and the accompanying listing template can be used in the event of any type of natural disaster or critical incident such as fire, flood or rodent infestation where public records may have been damaged or lost. Where possible, evidence supporting the forms should be provided.
Application to dispose of damaged public records form requests the State Archivist to consider authorising the disposal of public records that may not be able to be salvaged as the result of a disaster.
Listing of damaged or lost records to provide a description of the damaged or lost public records. This listing must be completed and submitted with the above forms.
For detailed advice, contact Queensland State Archives on (07) 3131 7777 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Do contact your Workplace Health and Safety Officer before entering any hazardous areas.
Don't take any unnecessary risks, especially in regard to health and safety, while attempting to salvage records. Take time to organise and coordinate your approach.
Do move undamaged records to a clean, dry area if possible. If more flooding or water inundation is likely, try to move undamaged records to higher ground.
Don't assume records are unsalvageable. Records may look worse than they are – consult with a commercial salvage provider or Queensland State Archives if you are unsure. Remember your obligations under the Public Records Act 2002.
Do collect evidence of damage as quickly as possible with photos, videos, and/or written reports. If possible, identify which records are damaged even if only at a broad level e.g. personnel files.
Don't let wet records sit for too long once waters have receded. This will help prevent mould developing.
Do identify if electronic backup of records exists as this will help you prioritise any salvage efforts. You may need to contact your IT department for advice.
Don't rush to dispose of damaged records. Further advice will be available from Queensland State Archives.
Do investigate opportunities for salvaging records (including use of commercial providers) as soon as it is safe to do so.
Don't forget damaged electronic records may also be salvageable.
Prioritise your most important records and work on those first.Find a clean, dry and well ventilated work space with:
Allocate a special temporary storage area for items that have been dried and need re-shelving.
If the records are muddy or soiled, clean first by holding the record firmly closed under a gentle stream of cold, clean water. Gently dab with a sponge if necessary.
Individual files
If strong enough, volumes should be dried upright with the covers open slightly (see figure 3 below)
Figure 3

If pages are waterlogged rather than just damp at the edges, or not rigid enough, lay flat and interleave with blotting paper or paper towels. The amount of interleaving paper used for one volume should not exceed 1/4 of its spine thickness due to the risk of damage to the binding. As with files, this interleaving should be changed often and disposed of. When almost completely dry, books should be laid horizontally and lightly weighted (e.g. with a covered brick or other heavy object).
Never attempt to stack or press wet, swollen books.
Recently dried records should remain in the temporary storage area until the usual records area has been completely cleaned and dried. Inspect these records regularly for signs of continuing damp or mould. Only re-shelve records when you are sure that the records and permanent storage area are dry.
If you have a large quantity of damp/wet records, freezing is probably your best option. This will give you time to:
Gather the following resources:

Say, I have a rootLogger and 2 loggers: "xxx.yyy" and "xxx.zzz". Normally, when I write to "xxx.yyy" or "xxx.zzz", the message will also write to the rootlogger (assume each of these logger have their own appender).
How can I stop rootLogger to log a message when I write to "xxx.yyy" ??

Web Producer: Ina Ronquillo
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Tucson Police have arrested and charged 20-year-old Da'Wan Grandville in connection with a shooting at a college party.

Dunno about you, but I'm 'massively conflicted' this weekend, got to get some ride time in… but life is not going to be worth living if I don't show willing on the Christmas shopping front.
Any suggestions?

The weather down here was hideous, so my long ride was on the Fortius. I've not been outside on a ride now for 10 days, so that's 7 rides on it in that time!
It's been mostly watts based intervals - 6 x 4 mins above AT or 2 x 20 mins above TT, so all pretty tough. Today I did the full Pyrenees stage on Fortius, that was up the Col du Peyresourde down to Col Azet, up and over that and then finish off with the Pla D'Adet, about 3 hours of mostly climbing. I'm really glad that the Pla D'Adet isn't on the itinerary for my Trans Pyrenees ride next summer, that is a gruesome climb.
I really want to get outside and ride, I just can't stand crapping up my nice bike, and can't get motivated to ride my not so nice bike...

When the Framingham police responded to a call just before 2 a.m. last month that a house had been egged, the culprits weren't juveniles, but experienced, off-duty Newton police officers. Newton officials would not provide the names of the officers or specify how they were disciplined, saying it was a personnel matter.
However, two of the officers involved have been disciplined before and will receive harsher punishments.
The agency is also dealing separately with one off-duty officer who was drunk, he said.

Brock Yates's Eliminator and Novi Special replica fail to sell in Monterey
Brock Yates's Eliminator at Mecum's Monterey Auction. Photo by Kurt Ernst.
Over his remarkable career, esteemed automotive journalist Brock Yates collected many things, including (reportedly) motel keys, matchbooks, photographs and automobiles. Two of the latter with rather significant ties to Yates's career recently crossed the block at Mecum's Monterey auction, both failing to meet their reserve prices.
Of the two, it's safe to call the Eliminator the most historically significant. The Model T Ford racer, originally constructed by Californian Jay Chamberlain for short track racing, clawed its way to (relative) fame in the hands of owner Frank "Duffy" Livingstone. Fitted with a Ford flathead V-8, the car took its name from the Potvin camshaft fitted by engine builder Tim Timmerman. Ensuring that The Eliminator could stop as well as go, a set of Bendix aircraft brakes were fitted, and the car received its first 15 minutes of fame in a 1953 Hot Rod magazine article entitled, "How to Build a Sports Car."
The dash displays stickers from the car's racing history. Photo by Kurt Ernst.
By 1956, the flathead V-8 was no longer a competitive race engine, so Timmerman built up a 265-cu.in. Chevrolet V-8 for the car. Later, the original La Salle three-speed transmission was pulled, replaced by a Borg-Warner T-10 four-speed, and suddenly the package was fast enough to be dangerous in C Class competition. Just how competitive The Eliminator had become was proven in 1959, when at one event it qualified 19th (and finished 11th) out of 57 cars, including Ferraris, Maseratis and Porsches driven by the likes of Carroll Shelby and Dan Gurney.
Shortly afterward, Livingstone lost interest in the car, parking it in his shop for some two decades before it was sold. Though the ownership path is murky, the car eventually found its way into Yates's collection, and it was soon sent to Pete Chapouris at California's So-Cal Speed Shop for refurbishment. Chapouris brought The Eliminator up to modern safety standards, but took care to preserve the car's patina wherever possible; he left the exterior paint untouched and left many of the dents from the car's serious racing days intact.
Bidding reached $140,000, but failed to meet reserve. Photo by Kurt Ernst.
Upon completion, Yates raced the car for four seasons in various vintage events, but its crowning achievement likely came in August of 2003. That year, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance included a class honoring the hot rod, and The Eliminator received an invitation to participate alongside the likes of Max Balchowsky's Old Yeller II, the 1947 Baldwin Payne Mercury and the HWM Chevrolet Stovebolt Special. On hand for the ceremonies, in addition to owner Yates, were Livingstone and The Eliminator's most recent restorer, Barry Brown, whose Riter Vintage Car Care shop in East Rochester, New York, refreshed the car after four seasons of vintage racing.
Like a warthog displayed at an American Kennel Club purebred event, The Eliminator seemed out of place on the Pebble Beach field, and Yates recounted his impression of the event in a piece penned for the December 2003 Car and Driver, entitled "Barbarians on the Grass." Looking at the car with contempt and distaste, a woman reportedly said to original restorer Chapouris, "This thing is ugly. The paint is faded. There are dents. Don't any of you people know how to restore cars?"
At Pebble Beach in 2003 , Yates sat on the car's tail for the ride to the judging stand. Photo by Kurt Ernst.
When Chapouris pointed out the importance of the car's originality, the visitor was undeterred, stating that, "Our house is original. One hundred years old. But we paint it every three years," before storming off in a huff. Later, when the category finalists were announced, the Stovebolt Special, the Baldwin Payne Mercury and The Eliminator were called before the judges' stand, and it was The Eliminator that was picked for the category win. The car may still have been a warthog among purebreds, but on that day it was a very proud warthog.

The 1956 Kurtis-Kraft 500F Novi Replica, on the other hand, is very much a race car that celebrates the art of the automobile. Built by engineer, machinist and fabricator Gary Babineau, in collaboration with Brock Yates, the Novi Replica was meant as a tribute to "the fastest car never to win the Indy 500," as the Novi racers are often referred to. Campaigned in various forms (including both front-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive versions) from 1941 through 1966, Novi-engined cars were renowned for the distinctive shriek of their gear-driven superchargers, as well as for the impressive power the engines put out. Some would say the Novi cars were cursed as well, as drivers Ralph Hepburn and Chet Miller were killed in crashes of Novi-powered cars.
The Novi supercharged V-8 engine was designed by Bud Winfield and Leo Goossen and constructed by legendary builder Fred Offenhauser. At its debut (as a "Winfield") in the 1941 Indianapolis 500, the engine produced more than 450 horsepower, which was an impressive number for the day. By the end of its life, in 1966 (then licensed by team owner Andy Granatelli), the Novi engine was good for 837 horsepower. Ironically, the Brock Yates Novi Replica uses a Maserati engine instead of a Novi, as surviving examples have climbed exponentially in price. In 2009, when Babineau assembled the Novi Replica, Yates estimated that an authentic Novi engine would have added $250,000 to the car's build cost, making the use of a normally aspirated 600hp Maserati overhead-cam V-8 understandable.
Once Babineau's astonishing work was finished, the Novi Replica debuted at the 2009 Greenwich Concours d'Elegance in Connecticut, where the car picked up the "Great Race Award." A vintage race event at Watkins Glen followed, once the SVRA approved the car for competition. In what may have been the most fitting tribute to the Novi and its early drivers, Andy Hurtubise, son of original Novi racer Jim Hurtubise, lapped the historic circuit wearing a replica of his father's driving suit. As Yates later penned in Vintage Motorsport, "It was a memorable day for everyone involved. All along it's been about the Novi, but I realized as I watched Andy drive down the straightaway that it is also about the people and the history behind the car… keeping that alive, and the connections that we all have to this sport is what we can memorialize."
A normally aspirated Maserati V-8 was chosen for its cost effectiveness. Photo courtesy Mecum Auctions.
Bidding on The Eliminator rose to $140,000 before stalling, but that wasn't enough to top the car's reserve price (and likely would have represented the lowest price ever paid for a Pebble Beach class winner) or meet the pre-auction estimate of $175,000 to $200,000. Bidding on the Novi replica reached $75,000, and this number also failed to meet the car's reserve.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1956 Kurtis-Kraft midget
Even if this 1956 Kurtis-Kraft midget racer for sale on Hemmings.com – also known as the Le Claire Special – didn't currently hold the record in M/MVOT, didn't have any Bonneville race history, or weren't in shape to return to Bonneville and do better, it's still an authentic Kurtis-Kraft midget powered by an Offy four-cylinder, making for one awesome combination.

A storied Brickyard history
Many times, vintage racing cars go up for sale with little or no documentable history. Not this time. At its sophomore sale in Monterey, Mecum will present the restored Springfield Welding Smith's Special, in its livery as raced by then-New Jersey resident Art Cross in the 1953 Indianapolis 500. For finishing second to Bill Vukovich, and driving the full distance without relief in fiery temperatures that caused driver Carl Scarborough to die from heat exhaustion, Cross received the speedway's first-ever Rookie of the Year Award.
This car, a 1952 Kurtis-Kraft 4000 with a 270 Offy, is famous for a lot more than that. It was first built by Kurtis for owners Bessie Lee and Ben Paoli – they later married – who put Chuck Stevenson in the seat and got the legendary Clay Smith to serve as chief mechanic. Stevenson won the 1952 AAA national championship in it, making Lee the first woman to co-own a title-winning car, even though she was barred, as a female, from entering the pits at Indy. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway's longtime chairwoman, Mari Hulman George, later owned the car. Just golden.
Brock Yates discussion to kick off Midget racing exhibit
Join Brock Yates and columnist Ron Hedger at the Saratoga Automobile Museum Nov. 5 for a discussion about post-WWII Midget racing

The Saratoga Automobile Museum will offer a unique glimpse into the post-WWII Midget racing scene next month at the opening of its Solar/Kurtis Kraft Midget exhibit, hosted by National Speed Sport News Ron Hedger and featuring a discussion of the once wildly popular motorsport with Brock Yates.
The exhibit, which opens Sunday, November 5, at 2 p.m., will feature a pair of Solar Midgets from the era along with an example of the blazing-fast Kurtis Kraft tube-frame Midgets that made the stainless steel rail-frame Solars obsolete overnight. Combined with photography from ace photographer and racing historian Les King, the display will give visitors an understanding of how the Midgets drew as many as 50,000 fans to a single event before stock cars came on the scene and became the sport's premier attraction.
The Offy-powered Kurtis that will be on display, now owned by Yates, was piloted by Indianapolis 500 winners and American racing legends AJ Foyt and Johnny Rutherford, among others.
In addition to Yates, King will be on hand to discuss his photography, while Bruce Carman and Ken Gypson will give brief descriptions of their Midget race cars, which will be featured in the exhibit.
The Sunday afternoon program is included with regular museum admission: $7 for adults; $5 for seniors and active military members, and $3.50 for children ages 6-16.
The Saratoga Automobile Museum is located on the grounds of Saratoga Spa State Park, at 110 Avenue of the Pines. For more information, guests can also visit the Museum's Web site at www.saratogaautomuseum.org or call (518) 587-1935.

Kellan and Miley, sittin' in a tree?
Kellan Lutz is addressing rumors he's currently dating Miley Cyrus, after the two were spotted getting off the same private jet on Wednesday in Miami.
The hunky actor touched down in Los Angeles after catching a connecting flight in Florida last night, where he was swarmed by paparazzi asking about his alleged new flame.
Check out the video above -- he doesn't seem too fazed by all the gossip.
Towards the end of the clip he's also asked why he's single, adding "I love relationships, but I'm very much focused on work right now."
The actor, who is currently promoting "The Legend of Hercules," can also be seen explaining the difference between The Rock's upcoming sword-and-sandal flick and his own.
Lutz's Hercules movie opens January 10, 2014.

Retrograde pyelogram
|Retrograde pyelogram
|OPS-301 code
Retrograde pyelogram is a urologic procedure where the physician injects contrast into the ureter in order to visualize the ureter and kidney. The flow of contrast (up from the bladder to the kidney) is opposite the usual flow of urine, hence the retrograde name.
Reasons for performing a retrograde pyelogram include identification of filling defects (e.g. stones or tumors), as an adjunct during the placement of ureteral stents or ureteroscopy, or to delineate renal anatomy in preparation for surgery. Retrograde pyelography is generally done when an intravenous excretory study (IVP or contrast CT scan) cannot be done because of renal disease or allergy to intravenous contrast.
Relative contraindications include the presence of infected urine, pregnancy and contrast allergy.
The procedure requires cystoscopy and the placement of a small tube into the lower part of the ureter to inject contrast and opacify the ureter and renal pelvis. Fluoroscopy, or dynamic X-Rays, is typically used for visualization. The procedure is usually done under general or regional anesthesia.

Also in regard to the giant Spock, exactly how was Keniclius able to replicate a giant version of his uniform? It would have taken tons of the right fabrics to make an exact recreation.
The usual problems with giant-sized humanoids: as size doubles, mass squares. A giant-sized Spock or Keniclius would be too heavy for their muscles to move them.
So exactly how is a giant Spock going to be particularly useful in conquering the universe? Or even an army of giant Spocks? Even if you want an army of super-smart Spocks to help you, why make them giant-sized? That would seem to make them merely bigger targets.
After Spock is captured by Keniclius, there's a bridge shot with Spock in it before he is rescued.
Sulu: It's a mobile plant. When it stops, its roots bore back into the ground. They're all over the place. I think it likes me.
Kirk: We always encourage our officers to make friends with the natives.
Spock: I am pleasantly surprised at your capacity for deductive reasoning, Captain. When you are not being bellicose, there appears to be no end to your arsenal of formidable talents.
Kirk: By the way, Mr. Sulu, any chance of teaching me that body throw? Could come in handy sometime.
Sulu: I don't know, sir. It isn't just physical, you know. You have to be inscrutable.
Kirk: Inscrutable? Sulu, you're the most scrutable man I know.
This episode along with "More Tribbles, More Troubles" was released on The Animated Adventures of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek: Volume 1 for VHS.
The budget for the series wouldn't allow them to add the Chekov character, so Walter's contribution to the series was the writing of this episode.
The Kzinti are mentioned in this episode. At the time this must have come as quite a shock to discerning s.f. fans, since they were never part of the Star Trek mythos. Most likely it was already known that Larry Niven was working on "The Slaver Weapon" and going to use the Kzinti, and Walter Koenig tossed it in there.
Walter Koenig named the Retlaw plant (which poisons and almost kills Sulu) after himself. A little wish-fulfillment, perhaps?

Farmers now may sign up for U.S. Department of Agriculture disaster assistance programs that were restored by the passage of the 2014 federal farm bill.
The sign-up period for programs, which started Tuesday at Farm Service Agency locations nationwide, comes after farmers waited about two and a half years with no assistance because congressional action was needed to restore funding, according to USDA Secretary Thomas J. Vilsack.
We implemented these programs in record time and kept our commitment to begin sign-up today, Mr. Vilsack said in a release. To ensure enrollment goes as smoothly as possible, dedicated staff in over 2,000 Farm Service Agency offices across the country are doing everything necessary to help producers that have suffered through two and a half difficult years with no assistance because these programs were awaiting Congressional action.
Depending on the size and type of farm or ranch operation, eligible producers may enroll in one of four programs administered by the Farm Service Agency. The Livestock Forage Disaster Program and Livestock Indemnity Program provide payments to eligible producers for livestock deaths and grazing losses that have occurred since the expiration of the livestock disaster assistance programs in 2011, including calendar years 2012, 2013 and 2014. The Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program provides emergency assistance to eligible producers of livestock, honeybees and farm-raised fish that have suffered losses because of disease, severe weather, blizzards and wildfires. Enrollment also is open for the Tree Assistance Program, which provides financial assistance to qualifying orchardists and nursery tree growers to replant or rehabilitate trees, bushes and vines damaged by natural disasters.
Farm Service Agency locations in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties are based at 21168 Route 232 in Watertown, 5274 Outer Stowe St. in Lowville and 1942 Old DeKalb Road in Canton, respectively.

The 26-year-old Newcastle fly-half is currently troubled by an adductor muscle problem and his future has been questioned but Wilkinson insists he will not only return but get better.
Wilkinson told Rugby World: "I don't blame people for writing me off. I can see their point of view. But if people are saying I'm finished I'm going to prove them wrong.
"Yes, of course the plan is to get back in the England team, play in future World Cups, Lions tours and everything else.
"And I really believe, no, I really know that there is so much more of a player inside me waiting to come out that the world of rugby hasn't seen yet.
"People were very kind to me a few years ago when I played for England, but I knew, deep down, that I wasn't even close to my optimum.
"I hope to rectify that on my return. There's no question I'll be back, even better than before."

Sometimes the 3rd party emails and Facebook messages I receive really frustrate me. A mom I'll call Jean (not her real name) sent this message a few weeks ago:
"I hope my daughter can be half as successful as you. Her gastric bypass is coming up in a few weeks. I've tried to help her lose weight, but she loves hamburgers more than she loves herself. She finds a way to sabotage every diet. She needs to lose about 100 lbs, but if she can lose 50 it'll be better than nothing."
HALF as successful as me? Jean (not her real name), I have no doubt that your daughter can be just as successful as I have been. I've hit my weight loss goal and maintained it since November of last year. I had my surgery in January of 2012 at Catawba Valley Medical Center. Since that time, the tummy modifications my surgeon, Dr. Cox, made have been helping physically, while I work on the mental aspects of staying healthy.
A part of me has wondered if I could've kicked my type 2 diabetes into remission and lost the weight if I'd focused more on cutting carbs and sugars. Then reality sets in and I remember how many diet programs I tried and how much money I wasted in gym memberships. I'd last a few days, weeks or even a few months before I'd cave in and go back to my old habits. The weight would return along with the feelings of failure. I'd eventually tell myself that it was more important to be happy eating and drinking what I like, than to stress over having a breakfast of 2 pieces of toast with jelly and butter, a 3 egg omelette with cheese, turkey sausage and grits on the side. Wow! When I think about what I used to eat in one sitting it blows my mind.
This morning my breakfast consisted of coffee with some protein shake mixed in and about an hour later I tossed back some trail mix. Am I hungry for the 3 egg omelette? Given my history, the answer you might expect is YES. Actually, the answer is no. I couldn't eat the omelette alone and my tiny tummy wouldn't want to try. So you see, its not just my will power that has made me successful. Its a combination of a good surgeon, good hospital, good weight loss coordinators and GOOD SUPPORT AT HOME.
My mom was skeptical at first, but when she realized that the surgery might help reverse the family diabetes curse, she signed on. She has prayed for me, cared for me and believed in me. These days she even prepares healthier meals for me. My question for you is, "Do YOU BELIEVE your daughter can be just as successful as I've been?" Having someone in her corner who believes she can do it will make a world of difference in her new life as a healthier adult.
Please remember this, mom Jean (not her real name), the only thing that makes my case different is that I talk about my surgery on the radio.

Truck drivers across France have been participating in "operation escargot" – driving very very slowly on highways and causing major traffic problems to protest against the high price of gasoline and diesel.
Today the operation did not start until 9 AM because the drivers didn't want to disturb the thousands of students (615,625!!) who were taking the Philosophy Bac this morning. Isn't that nice?
Here are some sample questions on the Philosophy exam. Students have four hours to write their essays, but they won't know the results until July 4.
"L'art transforme-t-il notre conscience du réel ?"
"Peut-on désirer sans souffrir ?"
"Est-il plus facile de connaître autrui que de se connaître soi-même ?"
"La perception peut-elle s'éduquer ?"
How would you do on this exam?

See the Hamilton and Alonso of their day fight it out medieval style.
Knights on horseback will descend upon the Moat at the Tower of London on 1-2 September to battle it out in a live jousting competition.
Guaranteed to be the sporting competition of the season, join in the drama and excitement as fully-armoured and decorated knights on horseback descend upon the Moat at the Tower of London on 1-2 September to battle it out in Tournament at the Tower.
Assisted by their own 'pit crew' of squires, foot soldiers and an array of staff, the competitors would have been the Hamilton and Alonso of their day, cheered on by their fans in the crowd. Instead of a 200mph racing car to settle their differences, swords, lances and shields would have been their weapons of choice. As the only authentic jousting competition of its kind in London this year, it is truly an event not to be missed.
You will be swept up in the electric atmosphere of horses, heraldry, flags and fanfare as these dashing knights gallop across the arena and display their swordsmanship skills. Cheer and roar as the Queen's brother, Lord Scales, and his team take on the mighty Anthony, the Grand Bastard of Burgundy, and his men, whilst the Queen and her ladies marvel at the bravery of these medieval heroes from the comfort of the Royal Dais.
In between bouts of jousting action, you can discover what life was like for inhabitants of the Tower in circa 1467 through more displays in the Tower Moat. Wander around the different tents in the moat to watch the artisans associated with jousting do their work, including armourers and lance makers. You can also observe the rituals of preparing for battle, as the 'pit crews' arm up the knights arm up ready for the competition.
Jousting will take place in the Tower Moat at 11:45, 14:45 and 16:30 on 1 and 2 September. Each performance lasts 40 minutes. Visitors will be able to access the Moat daily from 11:00 until 18:00 to view the other displays.

YIELD: Serves 4
- 1 1/2 pounds medium zucchini
- 1 small bunch fresh dill
- 1/2 pound snow crabmeat
Wash zucchini thoroughly. Trim ends and cut zucchini into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place in a large saucepan.
Wash dill and chop finely to yield 1/4 cup, reserving remaining sprigs. Add to pot with half the crabmeat and any accumulated juices. Add 1 1/4 cups water and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Water will not completely cover zucchini.
Bring to a rapid boil. Lower heat to medium and cover pan. Cook for 20 minutes, or until zucchini is very soft. Let cool for 5 minutes. Transfer contents to a blender. Process for several minutes until very smooth. Mixture should thicken and become foamy. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and refrigerate, covered, for several hours or until very cold.
Serve soup in chilled soup bowls with a mound of remaining crabmeat in center of each serving. Garnish with reserved fresh dill sprigs.

Gerrard targets 2014 World Cup
Posted: June 26, 2012|
ENGLAND skipper Steven Gerrard insists he wants to lead the country to the 2014 World Cup finals in Brazil.
Prior to this summer's European Championship, Gerrard hinted he would be considering his international future at the end of the tournament.
However, the 32-year-old seems to have been given a new lease of life by the arrival of Roy Hodgson, who immediately installed the Merseysider as his captain.
Gerrard has thrived on the responsibility and, until Sunday night's quarter-final exit to Italy in Kiev, had been England's player of the tournament. And he has confirmed a desire to extend his stint with the national side.
"I have had a brief chat with the manager and told him I am available as long as I am wanted at this level," said Gerrard. "I have loved it (the captaincy). I have loved the responsibility. I have enjoyed every minute of it. I have tried my best and gave it everything I have got."

SUGAR HILL — Gwinnett County's third largest city made an example of itself in two ways Monday.At its monthly public meeting, the Sugar Hill City Council voted to put Sunday package alcohol sales to public vote in November, as well as to hold its millage rate steady despite plummeting real property assessments. Both decisions were exemplary for a city focused on being such, as it leaped to the fore among municipalities embracing a newly allowed alcohol vote and vowed to stay its budgetary course through fiscal belt tightening. "Putting the decision to the citizens always works best," Councilwoman Susie Gajewski said of state government having allowed local vote on Sunday sales beginning this month. Councilman Marc Cohen, who brought Sunday sales to council vote, felt it was important that Sugar Hill be among Georgia's earliest municipalities to do so. "We're a progressive city, and I want us to be in the forefront," he had said at the council's monthly work session last week. "Since the legislature has given cities the opportunity to allow Sunday sales, I felt it was important to open it up to our residents." Sugar Hill will hold its millage rate at 3.8 for the 2011 budget year, despite a decline of more than $200,000 in property tax revenue in 2010 and an estimated $230,000 this year. Gajewski praised the city for being ambitious with its roughly $30 million budget in an economic downturn, including begin a $14 million downtown streetscape and city hall, complete 67-acre Gary Pirkle Park and continue renovation of 57-acre E.E. Robinson Park. "It's amazing what we've done," she said of Sugar Hill having not increased its millage rate for 14 years despite economic recession. "We continue to do so much."

Maitland's Enzian Theater is about to get a major overhaul, including the addition of two brand new theaters.
Enzian officials told Local 6 they hope to break ground at the Florida Film Festival in April, with both new theaters to be completed by 2015.
One of those new theaters will seat 50 people, and the other 80 people. They will be located tucked behind the existing theater, but officials said the screens will be just as large as the current one.
The cost for this expansion is approximately $6 million, of which about one-third of the funds have been raised.
In a letter sent to patrons earlier this month, Executive Vice President Elizabeth Tiedtke said the expansion will allow the theater to offer more festivals, more single-event screenings and more variety.
She said the facility will stay open during construction with the least possible disruption to currently scheduled showings.

Two suspects arrested during a drug raid last month at a residence police call a Norwalk "heroin house" were in court for the first time this week.
Cory B. Smith, 24, and Roy A. Stewart III, 30, were arrested in early December after Norwalk police used a search warrant at 14 E. Harkness St. Police arrested four other people at the time who were staying at the residence.
"It's a heroin house," Detective Sgt. Jim Fulton said after the arrests. "They are all known heroin addicts."
On Friday, Smith, of 40B Corwin St., was indicted on three counts each of burglary and theft in connection with incidents on Nov. 22 and 26 plus Dec. 2 and 7. He also was charged with one count each of theft of a firearm and safecracking, both stemming from a Nov. 27 offense.
If convicted, Smith faces as much as 28 years in prison and a $55,500 fine.
He must post a $30,000 bond before being released from the Huron County Jail. If Smith posts bail, he is prohibited from being on the premises of the victims' residences on Erie, St. Mary's and West Chestnut streets.
Smith's Huron County Common Pleas Court trial is scheduled for Feb. 26.
Stewart, formerly of 14 E. Harkness St., was indicted Friday on two counts of trafficking in heroin in connection with incidents on Nov. 19 and 25. Judge Jim Conway set Stewart's bond at $5,000 and his trial for March 26.
The defendant is subject to random drug screens.
Police said officers had received information about people selling and using heroin on East Harkness Street. Authorities obtained a warrant from Norwalk Municipal Court Judge John Ridge and used it during the raid. Fulton said the suspects were traveling to Cleveland to buy heroin.
Smith and the other people who were staying there -- Devin S. Espinoza, 26; Roger L. Mock, 31; Mariha S. Estadt, 27; and her boyfriend, Robert W. Stewart, 32 -- are "all known heroin addicts," Norwalk Police Detective Sgt. Jim Fulton said.
On Friday, Espinoza was indicted on one count of possession of heroin and one count of tampering with evidence and Robert W. Stewart was indicted on one count of permitting drug abuse. Those two have not had made their initial court appearances yet.

JONESBORO The students may have had the weekend off, but the Clayton County School Board was in class Saturday.
Billed as a "retreat," the all-day session at the S. Truett Cathy Professional Learning Center covered everything from showing board members their role in overseeing a superintendent to showing them how to use their new district-issued iPhones.
All board members were present except Charlton Bivins, absent due to a family emergency. Also on hand was incoming interim superintendent Luvenia Jackson, who sat quietly on the outside perimeter of the conference room, taking notes and occasionally answering questions from board members. Jackson is scheduled to be sworn in as superintendent on Oct. 1.
Not present was outgoing superintendent Edmond Heatley, who resigned last month to accept what looked like a certain job offer of superintendent in Berkeley, Calif. Heatley later withdrew his candidacy when protest over his perceived position on gay marriage forced the Berkeley school board to announce it would slow down the hiring process.
The afternoon classes in management oversight and hiring a superintendent were conducted by school board counsel Glenn Brock, who walked participants through nuts-and-bolts explanations of how they might do their jobs.
Brock urged the board to draft a management-oversight policy — in other words, a document defining how they would guide a future superintendent — as soon as possible. He suggested policies already in use at several other districts as possible templates for Clayton County's.
Board members commented and asked questions from time to time, and Brock, board chair Pam Adamson or other speakers fielded them as appropriate. In fact, with everyone sporting golf shirts instead of ties and jeans instead of slacks, the atmosphere was like nothing so much as a relaxed college seminar.
The board holds retreats several times a year to comply with state laws requiring all school boards to complete state-mandated training.

Small Angle X-ray Scattering
Small Angle X-ray Scattering has become a well known standard method to study the structure of various objects in the spatial range from 1 to 1000 nm, and therefore instruments capable to perform such experiments are installed at most of the synchrotron research centers. The high-flux SAXS beamline at ELETTRA is mainly intended for time-resolved studies on fast structural transitions in the sub-millisecond time region in solutions and partly ordered systems with a SAXS-resolution of 1 to 140 nm in real-space.
The photon source is the 57-pole wiggler whose beam is shared and used simultaneously with a Macromolecular Crystallography beamline. From the very intense wiggler radiation, the SAXS-Beamline accepts 3 discrete energies, namely 5.4, 8 and 16 keV (0.077, 0.154, 0.23 nm). The beamline optics consists of a flat, asymmetric-cut double crystal monochromator and a double focusing toroidal mirror.
Areas of research
On-line data analysis
The SAXS beamline represents a complex data collection process, with specific processing, storage, anaysis and sharing and visualisation requirements. This kind of application requires both the support of a standard Grid computing environment, that is a virtual organisation, a set of distributed storage and computing resources and some resource brokering mechanism, a workflow definition and execution environment and the capability to integrate instruments (the detectors) and interactively collaborate in the data analysis process.Back to top

This press release replaces one dated Oct. 31, 2012. An error in the original was brought to NAMI's attention on Nov. 29, 2012 and a correction was issued on Dec. 4, 2012.
College Survey: 50 Percent of College Students with Mental Health Problems Who Withdraw from School Because of Mental Health Issues Never Access College Mental Health Services
ARLINGTON, Va., Dec. 6, 2012 -- Sixty-four percent of students who experience mental health problems in college and withdraw from school do so because of their mental health issues, according to a survey report, College Students Speak, released today by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).
Of that group, 50 percent never access college mental health services.
A total of 765 students living with mental illness took the survey. Ten percent were no longer in school..
The 20-page survey report is available at www.nami.org/collegesurvey.
Additional findings include:
- Overall, 70 percent of the students who responded to the survey rated campus services and supports as "excellent" or "good."
- Almost 80 percent of the total group identified mental health training for college faculty and staff as "extremely important" for mental health awareness on campus.
- Only 22 percent said they had learned about college mental health services through faculty or staff.
- Many students considered college Disability Resource Centers (DRCs) to be unhelpful because they primarily focus on physical conditionsor professors do not honor DRC-approved accommodations
NAMI conducted the survey from August to November 2011. The results were released for the first time on Oct. 31, 2012.
About NAMI
NAMI is the nation's largest grassroots mental health organization dedicated to building better lives for the millions of Americans affected by mental illness. NAMI advocates for access to services, treatment, supports and research and is steadfast in its commitment to raising awareness and building a community of hope.

Beloit, WI -- The Beloit College Women's Soccer team held their own during the first 45 minutes against Edgewood College on Friday at the Strong Complex Soccer Field. But a 15-minute burst in the second half was enough to send the Bucs to a 3-0 loss.
After a scoreless opening half the Eagles finally got on the scoreboard just over a minute into the second half. That started a run that netted three goals in under 15 minutes for EC that staked them to a 3-0 lead.
The Buccaneers kept pushing but managed just one shot for the game to Edgewood's 26. The Eagles also held an 11-1 advantage in corner kicks. Alex Spirov finished with 10 saves in net.
Beloit looks to turn things around after a week off when they play under the lights at North Central College next Friday in Naperville, Illinois. Game time is set for 7:00 p.m.

Bristol City Centre gains national award for being well managed and dynamic for third year running
Release date: Mon, 17/12/2012
The prestigious national Purple Flag as a well-managed and vibrant place to visit and enjoy at night time has been awarded to Bristol City centre following an application by Bristol City Council, Avon and Somerset Constabulary and Destination Bristol.
The award, made by the Association of Town Centre Managers (ATCM) recognises the wide choice of entertainment and leisure attractions, the huge range of restaurants, hotels, bars and clubs and strong partnership working towards making the city centre safer.
Among positive improvements during the last year were:
· Reduction in crime and anti social behaviour, (violence against a person is down by down by 5%)
· Increase in the numbers of visitors and a range of highly successful events to attract them including See no Evil, the Harbour Festival, the Olympic torch relay, Bristol Thai Festival, outdoor art gallery events, the re-opening of the Bristol Theatre Royal; the expansion of exhibitions at the M Shed and other museums and art galleries including the drawings of Leonardo.
· An increase in the number of visitors and residents feeling safe,
· New measures to improve safety including more investment in improved lighting and CCTV coverage, and joint work on ensuring licensees keep to licence conditions.
· Increase in practical information for visitors including in particular Destination Bristol's highly successful www.visitbristol.co.uk
· Opening of several new restaurants
· More training for bar staff in promoting responsible drinking and more training for taxi drivers to meet the needs of their customers including those with disabilities.
Mayor George Ferguson said: "Bristol city centre has so much to offer residents and visitors alike and I congratulate al those who have worked hard to win Purple Flag status for the third year running.
"I am keen to build on this achievement to make the city centre an even more attractive place to live, work, visit and do business. This is why I want to make the city centre car free one Sunday a month to attract more people into the city as part of my campaign to make Sunday special."
Bristol was one of the first cities to gain this award.
John Hirst, Operations Director for Destination Bristol said: "Bristol is very proud to receive the award once again as we continue to improve our overall offer. Purple Flag indicates a city centre that is vibrant and welcoming. We are very keen to demonstrate to all who visit our city centre in the evening and night time that we offer a high standard and a wide variety of entertainment, and attractions, all in a well managed environment."
The assessment process established that standards have been maintained and improved. A wide range of criteria were assessed including personal safety, cleanliness, attractiveness and appeal, arts and cultural on offer and the strength of partnership working.
Inspector Keith Rundle said: " We are working hard across the partnership to reduce crime and unacceptable behaviour. We are pleased that violent crime is falling in the city centre and we are working hard to continue that reduction. This and other activities is a practical way to help both residents and visitors to the centre to feel and be safe - Purple Flag is recognition for all the hard work done by police and partners in the city centre."
Bristol attracts almost half a million overseas visitors a year (staying at least one night) and in 2009 was nominated as one of the top ten best cities in the world to visit for a short break (DK Eye Witness Travel). Visitors and residents bring the city centre to life and during the summer months. The city's Harbourside areas, public squares and green spaces are vibrant, exciting places and its visitor economy is worth an estimated £1billion annually to Bristol's economy supporting almost 20,000 jobs.
By being granted the award the Purple Flag partnership aims to attract a greater number of visitors into the city centre at night and to reduce the negative perceptions that some people hold about the city centre. The award is evidence of the considerable progress that has been made in improving the city centre. It has also helped partnership working by introducing regular nighttime inspections of the city centre by the Purple Flag team.

For those of us who grew up surrounded by family, its hard for us to imagine what life would be like without our loved ones. Everyone was brought into the world by their mother and father; however, not everyone is privileged enough to be raised by their parents. Tragedy can strike and leave a child without a parent, or without both parents. While Ive made many mistakes in my life, I think my biggest mistake has been taking my family for granted. Its easy to become frustrated with your family. Spending every day with them under the same roof is not an easy task. Sometimes you may not like something your brother says to you, or you may be annoyed at your mother for not letting
you go out until your homework is finished, but in the end we are tied to our families by a bond that cant easily be broken. After spending everyday with someone for your entire life, youre accustomed to his or her presence. Some take if for granted that they have a mother to cook dinner for them every night, or a father to learn lessons from. I grew up surrounded by family, but when my father died I regretted taking his presence for granted. Its almost as if I never realized what I had until I lost it. I have learned that even though my loved ones may get on my nerves at time, life is short. The world moves quickly, but sometimes its necessary to stop for a minute and be grateful for the little things that make life so special.

Is Chris Christie in a No-Win Situation Over Lautenberg's Seat? [AUDIO]
If Gov. Chris Christie appoints a conservative to the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by the death of Frank Lautenberg, the moderates Christie needs in this year's gubernatorial election will be ticked. If he picks a moderate, the conservatives he would need if he plans a presidential run in 2016 would be furious.
Is Christie finally in a no-win situation?
"He's not in a no-win situation because he does get to pick somebody so that person is going to be at least the one person who is very happy. In reality, he has three choices." said Peter Woolley, a political science professor at Fairleigh Dickinson University.
Woolley said the first choice for Christie is for him to pick a friend to reward loyalty.
"Two, he could try to pick somebody who he thinks could actually defend the seat," explained Woolley. "The Republicans don't have a strong bench though so it's hard to imagine who could actually defend the seat against a big name Democrat like (Rush) Holt, (Frank) Pallone or (Cory) Booker."
The third choice for Christie could be one that would reflect well on the Governor's legacy.
"He could appoint New Jersey's first female federal senator," said Woolley. "He has to be careful. There are always going to be people who don't like his decision and are going to take it personally. It is a decision that is going to become part of the historical record and part of any future campaign."
The appointment announcement could come as early as today.
