[singlepic=80,80,160,,left]Patriot Nation won't take the show to Florida this week because tropical storm Hanna looms in the Atlantic and threatens the Southeast. Independence was scheduled to play Madison County High, the reigning Florida 2A champion. Head coach Tom Knotts said when the trip was announced the Patriots looked forward to playing Madison County, and the team always look for a challenge.
The Patriots have a bye this week, and their next game is in two weeks at West Charlotte. This was the second straight year the Patriots scheduled an out-of-state opponent. Independence lost 41-34 to Cincinnati Elder in overtime last season.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools will monitor the weather throughout the week and announce if any schedule changes are necessary. The tropical storm could bring another soggy Friday to the area. The clouds opened and dumped buckets of water on the field after the Patriots won 47-0 over Olympic.

As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on June 24, 2014
S. 1104 would require the Department of State to report to the Congress on the status of recovery and development efforts in Haiti following the 2010 earthquake in that country. The bill would require one report in calendar year 2014 and annual reports through calendar year 2017. It also would require the department to develop a three-year strategy to promote economic development and build professional and responsive governmental institutions in Haiti, and provide quarterly briefings to the Congress on the implementation of that strategy. Based on information from the department, CBO estimates that implementing those requirements would cost less than $500,000 each year and total $1 million over the 2015-2019 period, assuming the availability of appropriated funds. Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.

Ex-L'Oreal fragrance division brand manager Camilla Schiavone has been announced as the latest member of the team that will revive the Schiaparelli brand, says WWD.
Diego Della Valle - the Tod's SpA financier behind the resurrection of the iconic label that closed in 1954 - has also recruited Paris-based Farida Khelfa as spokesperson/muse. The brand is expected to announce its creative director in September and show its first collection on the Paris catwalk next March.
The new label will focus mostly on accessories, makeup, and cosmetics, with some clothes as well – a business model that Della Valle has called 'pret-a-couture'. 'There are a lot of rich people in the world who want something very special,' he told the FT in May.
Speculation has been wild as to who will head-up the creative direction of the brand. Stefano Tonchi endorsed John Galliano, Oliver Theyskens' name came up, J.Crew's Jenna Lyons told the New York Post that she thought Iris Apfel should do it.
Given the label's accessory leanings, we'd like to throw another name into the ring: why not Katie Hillier? Her creations are witty and whimsical (just like Schiap's were), and she has designed jewellery, accessory and handbag collections for Marc Jacobs, Loewe, Luella and Victoria Beckham. Of course, we're just speculating too, but we'd feel very proud to have an Englishwoman in the role.

New York City Fire Commissioner Nicholas Scoppetta was presented with the operating key to the Durst repeater communications system at 4 Times Square today, the first of nine buildings to be installed with repeaters.
Chief of Operations Salvatore Cassano demonstrated the new communications system, which will become part of standard operating procedure at all of the buildings in the Durst portfolio.
The Durst repeater will provide the Fire Department with an added layer of communication, enabling the Fire Department commander at the scene to speak directly with fire personnel in every corner of the building, from the sub-basement to the roof, through the use of a key-initiated system in the lobby straight to a firefighter's individual handie-talkie. Through the repeater system, the commander can give orders simultaneously to every firefighter in the building, including evacuation orders.
The Durst Organization, through its own private funding, undertook the installation of the repeater system. The Fire Department thanked the Durst Organization for their commitment to the safety of the lives of their tenants and all first-responders.

Stars rally to end Canucks' winning streak, 4-3
VANCOUVER, British Columbia Brenden Dillon scored the go-ahead goal with 3 minutes left in the third period and the Dallas Stars rallied past Vancouver 4-3 on Friday night to end the Canucks' six-game winning streak.
Reilly Smith, Cody Eakin and Antoine Roussel also scored for the Stars, who overcame a 3-1 deficit to win for the fifth time in six games. Backup goalie Richard Bachman rebounded from a rough start and earned the victory in relief of injured Kari Lehtonen.
Daniel Sedin, Chris Higgins and Alex Burrows had goals for the Canucks, and captain Henrik Sedin became the club's career scoring leader.
Dillon, a 22-year-old native of the Vancouver suburb of Surrey, B.C., was playing his first NHL game in his hometown. He gave Dallas the lead for the first time when he slid behind coverage from his defensive position and fired in Jamie Benn's cross-ice pass.
Dallas outshot Vancouver 29-28. The Stars were blanked on four power plays, while the Canucks could not convert on three.
After allowing three goals on the first six shots he faced, Bachman stopped 15 straight shots to finish with 21 saves.
Henrik Sedin became Vancouver's career scoring leader by getting two assists to surpass former teammate Markus Naslund. Sedin now has 757 points, one more than Naslund. The former teammates hail from the same hometown of Ornskoldsvik, Sweden.
Vancouver's Ryan Kesler played his first game since last spring's playoffs after recovering from shoulder and wrist surgery. Kesler drew a loud cheer as he came out to take a faceoff on his first shift. He quickly made an impact by drawing an interference penalty on Dillon just 1:16 into the game.
But the Canucks could not capitalize on the power play, in part because a wide-open Kesler fanned on a one-timer of Henrik Sedin's cross-ice pass. Kesler had another chance around the 5-minute mark, but Lehtonen stopped him as he attempted a backhand while coming around the net.
Kesler had another excellent chance during another power play midway through the first period, but the puck hit Lehtonen's blocker and the crossbar and bounced away. Lehtonen came up big a little while later as he got the shaft of his stick on Jordan Schroeder's wrist shot that appeared headed for the top corner of the net.
But Lehtonen left the game moments later during a TV timeout and was replaced by Bachman. Mason Raymond scored on the first shot Bachman faced as he stuffed in a pass from Jannik Hansen, but the goal was disallowed because of incidental contact.
Only 11 seconds later, Smith beat Vancouver goalie Cory Schneider from a sharp angle.
Daniel Sedin drew the Canucks even 3:21 into the second period when he roofed in a backhand from along the goal line as his twin brother Henrik passed the puck from behind the net.
Higgins gave the Canucks a 2-1 lead 53 seconds later as he fired home a shot from the high slot for his third goal of the season. Kesler earned his first point of the season as he drew the second assist on the play.
Henrik Sedin took sole possession of Vancouver's points record midway through the second when he sent a cross-ice pass to Alex Burrows, who made no mistake as he one-timed the puck behind Bachman.
After Henrik Sedin broke the record, the crowd gave him an extended standing ovation - even while he sat on the bench, then back on the ice and during a TV timeout. During the break, the Canucks aired a video saluting him, with Naslund offering his congratulations.
Henrik Sedin responded by raising his stick and clapping in support of the crowd.

Acute lymphatic leukemia is not infrequently encountered in childhood and presents little difficulty in differential diagnosis when the typical clinical and hematologic features are present. In many instances, however, atypical manifestations may cloud the picture to the extent that the diagnosis becomes more difficult. This is particularly true when the total leukocyte count is not significantly elevated and the differential formula does not present the usual preponderance of immature cells. It is now recognized that these instances of so-called "aleukemic" or "subleukemic" forms of lymphatic leukemia are not rare but constitute a considerable proportion of the total number of cases. In order to compare the incidence, course and manifestations of this aleukemic form with those of the more typical variety, with an elevated leukocyte count, we have reviewed the cases of 61 consecutive patients with acute lymphatic leukemia admitted to the pediatric service of the University Hospitals. Since all children

A Tucson man is in custody on suspicion of filming people using a unisex bathroom at an airport business.
Pima County authorities say 53-year-old Steven Frame is being held on suspicion of voyeurism and surreptitiously photographing, videotaping, or digitally recording or viewing.
They say Frame is a 17-year employee of Tucson Jet Center, a private company that offers fuel, charter services and aircraft storage at Tucson International Airport.
A female company employee says she discovered a small camera mounted and taped to a door-closure mechanism after using the bathroom on Dec. 27.
She took it off and notified airport police.
Detectives say Frame admitted to mounting the camera and another one at the bottom of the toilet tank.
The Arizona Daily Star says authorities have searched Frame's home for additional evidence.

Burning Coal Theatre's Lobby Lectures Series Continues with Churchill Biographer Paul Reid Tonight
Paul Reid, author of the just released conclusion to "The Last Lion" trilogy begun by William Manchester, will speak at Burning Coal Theatre Company tonight, January 31st at 6 pm.
Tickets are $10 or free with anyone holding a ticket to that night's performance of Burning Coal Theatre Company's Good by CP Taylor. The lecture will last about 50 minutes and will be held at Burning Coal's Murphey School auditorium, 224 Polk Street, Raleigh, NC. Tickets are available for the lecture at the door. More information may be obtained by calling 919-834-4001 or visiting us online at www.burningcoal.org.
After stints in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a worker in a cat-food factory, blue-grass guitarist, cab driver, bartender, and counselor at a home for emotionally disturbed children, Paul Reid and his brother bought a small steam-valve manufacturing business in Newtonville, Mass. In the early 1990s, after selling his share of the company, Reid began writing political commentary for local Massachusetts newspapers, which led to a regular op-ed column at the Boston Globe. As a free-lance writer he covered the Yugoslav civil war, narco-terrorism in Colombia, and the Troubles in Northern Ireland. He graduated from Harvard University Extension School in 1990 with a bachelor of Liberal Arts cum laude. In 1996 Reid joined The Palm Beach Post, a Cox newspaper, as a features writer.
Reid was named 1998 Cox Newspapers writer of the year and won the 1998 Paul Hansell award, given by the Florida Society of Newspaper Editors, for reporting and writing. In 2003 he was embedded with United States Marines at the start of the Iraq War. In 2004 he left the Post to complete THE LAST LION: Defender of the Realm.
Paul lives in western North Carolina.
A popular novelist, historian, and biographer who, according to the New York Times, "used his novelist's eye to fashion meticulously researched portraits of power," William Manchester (1922-2004) was also the adjunct professor of history and writer-in-residence at Wesleyan University. "Power is the one thing that has fascinated me ever since I was a kid in Springfield, Mass.," he told People magazine. "What exactly is power? Where are its roots? How do some people get it and others miss it entirely? How do they hold it or lose it?"
Manchester's attention to detail was what made his works so successful. Many of his eighteen books of fiction and nonfiction were bestsellers, including The Arms of Krupp (about the German family that fed the Nazi War Machine), American Caesar (his biography of Gen. Douglas MacArthur), The Death of a President (on the assassination of John F. Kennedy), Goodbye Darkness (his memoir of his World War II experiences as a Marine in the Pacific), A World Lit Only by Fire (an exploration of the sordidness and the splendor of the Middle Ages), and the first two volumes of his Winston Churchill trilogy, The Last Lion. The final volume was published by Little, Brown on November 6, 2012 and written by Manchester and Paul Reid.

thinking of moving to la, anywhere nice to live near the velodrome (home depot center) in carson?
thinking of moving to la, anywhere nice to live near the velodrome (home depot center) in carson?
I live in Carson. It's OK. If you have kids, I recommend Torrance or Palos Verdes (PV) instead. Resale will be greater regardless b/c the school district is better.
If you're renting, it doesn't really matter. Be advised that North Carson (where the Home Depot Center is situated) is directly across the 91 and borders a certain town called Compton... you may have heard of it. The south bay area has nice pockets, you just have to find them.
I'm sure some other folks from the area would love to chime in.
I grew up in Long Beach. Nice town and not far from Carson.
Fredo, you're my older brother and I love you...but don't ever take sides, with anyone, against the family again...ever.
Gang related problems in Carson, Compton, Lynwood, North Long Beach.
I am curious, why you need to be close to the Velodrome. Do track riders stay near the indoor track?
I've certainly considered moving closer...Originally Posted by Garfield Cat
beach cities if you are single: redondo, hermosa, manhattan (not in any particular order) i live 6 miles from the velodrome and 3 miles from the beach. but, i'm moving into manhattan beach soon.
with family: torrance, palos verdes
stay away from carson.
This is largely a budget decision. Torrance/PV can be very expensive. I pay $2,400/month rent. Thankfully I split it. I would probably shoot for Long Beach if single and money was a concern. Lots of affordable apts. Carson would be a choice if you're really hardcore into track. You'd be close to the track and you'd have plenty of flat recovery road riding in the immediate area. Traffic could be a b*tch though.
Some of the top local trackies live in Long Beach - Adam Duvendeck, Jennie Reed, Travis Smith.
I have friends who ride at ADT a lot and live in Long Beach, and it's pretty easy for them to get there and back any time of day. Their neighborhood seems pretty decent.
kb5ql,Originally Posted by kb5ql
Don't you remember the day we took a wrong turn and we ended up in Compton? The roads there were the nicest I have ever encountered anywhere in southern CA. Plus, the bike lanes were nice and wide. I would ride there more often
I lived in Redondo as a junior, about ten miles from the track. (The old Olympic track, torn down to make way for Roger's ego... er, the ADT track. Haha.) Nice place to live, but expensive.
Later, I lived in Long Beach, which is closer to the track (my place was maybe 2 miles away) and can be much more affordable. The trouble with LB is that you can be in a very nice area and then you cross the street and you're afraid for your life. Or wallet, at least. I've never seen a town where the bad parts are so close to the good parts. It pays to spend some time driving around, preferably with a knowlegable local, to learn the ins and outs of the place before deciding to buy.
Carson? No thanks. I've spent a bunch of post-race evenings in the town, and can honestly say that I never felt in imminent danger, but... No, it isn't Compton, but it can be a pretty good imitation.

Global sex-trafficking summit calls on community to take action
Hundreds of activists, lobbyists, educators, law enforcement personnel and victims gathered in Rocklin last weekend with the same goal: To eradicate the scourge of sex trafficking.
Courage Worldwide hosted "The Response" at William Jessup University, a two-day seminar that brought together individuals and organizations to empower activism against the trafficking of children for sex.
Jenny Williamson, founder of the Rocklin-based Courage Worldwide, said that when she first heard about the issue of human trafficking, she thought she was the last person to know. But as she started doing research and asking questions, she found that's it's a huge issue that not enough people are aware of. Especially frightening, Williamson said, because the problem is not limited to far-off countries a world away from home.
"These kids are in our schools," she said. "These kids are in our churches. These kids sare in our homes and they are highly vulnerable."
And so Courage Worldwide began. Now international, the nonprofit provides homes and services (Courage Houses) for children rescued out of sex trafficking. Education is also a big part of the mission, and that's why Williamson organized "The Response," which gathered more than 60 experts to share their struggles and successes in the fight against sex trafficking, providing "tangible tools" for people to use in their professions and everyday lives.
The seminar included talks by Scott Edwards, chief operating officer of Courage Worldwide; former member of Congress and president and founder of Shared Hope International Linda Smith; and Laura Lederer, former senior adviser on sex trafficking in persons with the U.S. State Department and president of the Protection Project at Harvard University.
Monique Zackery, of Richmond, joined co-worker Phil Shay, of Nashville, Tenn., for the seminar through their organization, Abolition International, which is establishing an association of aftercare shelters that will help make sure there are standards for quality while survivors recover.
"There were some amazing people speaking, some great resources, throughout the entire weekend," Shay said.
"One thing that I loved about 'The Response,' which is a little different from other trafficking conferences that I've been to, is that it is all about taking action," Zackery said. "Everybody focuses on the fact that there is hope for change. There's hope that this can actually be ended in our lifetime. I think that all of the speakers really rallied around that unity of belief. We don't have to be bogged down by the problem, but that there actually can be a solution, and that everybody, no matter what their skill set is, no matter what their giftings are, everybody can contribute to the solution. We can all make a difference."
Breakout sessions covered an array of topics such as community outreach, advocacy through creative arts, the faith-based community, law and policy, technology and mental health. The seminar concluded on an positive note, with a concert by Jars of Clay and other Christian bands.
Gracie Ditmore, 14, came to the seminar from Oak Park, where her parents run Rahab's House, an assessment facility for girls rescued out of sex trafficking. From Rahab's House, the girls are placed with families or in treatment programs. Ditmore said she was impressed by how many different forms of support there are for children recovering from a life of abuse.
"We just came from a workshop of musical therapy, and I'm actually looking into it now because I really feel like I can help with Rahab's House in that way," she said.
One of the experts who spoke at the event was Lt. Karen Hughes, who runs the vice unit of the Las Vegas Metro Police Department. Her department, she said, has been policing sex trafficking for decades. Since 1994, the department has documented 2,229 children who have been exploited sexually into prostitution.
"You don't even have to know what you're looking for to recognize that prostitution is alive and well in cities across America," Hughes said. "Sacramento is no different than Las Vegas in that regard, and when you train law enforcement to be more aware of what those signs are, there's going to be a more robust approach to policing it."
Hughes spoke at Saturday's session and Friday's law enforcement training, where responders gathered in Citrus Heights to discuss the signs to look for and what can be done to stop sex trafficking. Hughes said that at-risk children are most often those with very little family involvement, those that have been deemed as "bad kids" and runaways. Fourteen percent of people arrested for trafficking in in 2011 and 2012 had gang affiliations, 63 percent of the victims were African American and 23 percent Caucasian, 92 percent of the victims were between the ages of 15 and 18 and typically the "customers" are married, middle-aged white males. But behind each statistic, she emphasized, there's a unique story, and she's seen it all.
"There is not one race or economic demographic that isn't part of the demand," Hughes said. "The wealthiest of neighborhoods and the poorest of neighborhoods seek the services of the commercial sex trade in one venue or another."
The most important action law enforcement can do to confront the problem, Hughes said, is to collaborate with nongovernmental and private organizations, as well as with federal, state and local agencies: "Everybody has a piece of the big problem. It's a very comprehensive problem."
Williamson echoed that sentiment as she gave closing remarks Saturday, challenging all present to take a stand against sex trafficking. Courage Worldwide is a faith-based organization, and she called on the church to unite against the problem.
"If any one issue the church would speak the same language on and adopt – this could be over in our lifetime," she said. "Do you guys want to participate in that? Are you willing to lay your life down for just one child and just one life?"
Williamson brought to the state a young girl rescued from a life of prostitution.
"Every single day of your life, you are in contact with victims, whether you are able to see it or not," she said. "I hope now you have the tools to see it. I was in dance class. I was in Sunday school. I was at the mall. I was everywhere your daughter would have been. And I dare you to ask questions."
The girl said she was touched by the number of people present at "The Response."
"I have to tell you that looking around this room and hearing the thoughts of many, many educated, passionate people for the last day and a half, it boggles my mind," she said. "Because, for 17 years of my life, and perhaps more than that, I didn't think anyone cared. I didn't think there were good people. I didn't think anyone cared, and I certainly didn't think anyone would take time on a Friday or a Saturday and talk about it like it mattered."

PORTLAND, ME -- Damaging winds have knocked down trees and utility wires in Vermont as heavy rain, thunderstorms, high winds and hail moved across northern New England.
The National Weather Service has issued severe thunderstorm warnings and watches across Vermont, New Hampshire and most of Maine calling for severe weather.
The weather service reported that thunderstorms and winds in excess of 60 mph in Vermont were producing 1-inch-diameter hail and knocking down numerous trees and wires Sunday afternoon. In northern Maine, radar was picking up a line of thunderstorms capable of producing quarter-sized hail and winds stronger than 70 mph.
The prediction for stormy weather in the New York City region is causing delays of up to three hours at John F. Kennedy, La Guardia and Newark Liberty airports.

And i'm trying not to laugh as i write this up. This article was inspired by a piece i read done by my close personal friend Kevin Oyugi whose piece alerted me to a status update she posted on her facebook fan page.
And according to the lass, she has been recieving alot of correspondence from her South African fans alerting her to the fact and just as any graceful Kenyan lady would, she took it gracefully, laughed it off and moved on. Here's how she handled the whole affair:
"Dear, Southern Africans. Thank you to all those of you who've pointed out to me that my surname means "testicles" in your language. (Hahaha!) I want you to know that I appreciate the info and that it actually makes me love my name so much more! I mean, how rad is that? Gotta love languages of the world. It also makes me happier to know that I made someone smile for the mere fact that I wear that name with pride and honor. However, I'm kinda tired of weekly messages about it so here's to hoping that this status settles that. Cheers! XOXO PS: To my extended family... Well, now you know! Hahaha! Have a great day/ night wherever you may be everyone! Remember to smile and find humor as much as possible."
And there you have it ladies and gentlemen, signing off, it's Transit TV's Rachel Testicles, i mean Rachel Marete signing off. Peace and love!

Except they can't get the DCP to work. Programmer Sean Uyehara patiently explains to us that along with the digital cinema package, they're sent a digital key that will only unlock the print half-an-hour before it's scheduled to play. Which is when they discovered that the subtitles were out of synch. So they've requested a new key, or a new DCP, I'm unclear just which.
Half-an-hour passes. Sean announces that the box office will offer refunds and, in addition, free passes to several of that day's later screenings -- he mentions "Twenty Feet from Stardom," and I yell out that it's a great movie, and Sean says "All of our movies are fantastic," and I say, "some of them are more fantastic than others."
After 40 minutes, the movie begins. It becomes quickly apparently that, although the subtitles are in synch, we're only seeing a small portion of them. If a translation is long enough to require two lines, we see the top line; if it only requires one, we don't see anything. The composition of the shots looks like they're showing it in the correct aspect ratio, but I still exit to suggest that they try to see if that's the problem.
I speak French, so I stick around, but some of the audience does not. I find myself enjoying the movie -- black-and-white, well-acted, not as interesting thematically perhaps as "La Belle Noiseuse" or "Dream of Light," but charming -- right up until its very last shots, when there's a disturbing ending that I didn't feel was justified by what came before.
I have not quite five minutes to get to the New People Cinema across the street to see "Big Blue Lake," the very first American screening of a second feature from a very young female director, Tsang Tsui-Chan, shot in her native village outside of Hong Kong on a budget of $200,000.
It's a slight tale of a young actress who returns to her small village to find that her mother is experiencing Alzheimer's, but of the most benign sort: she wanders off occasionally, but is soon found, and the main character seems to have lots of time to explore the village she's been away from for a decade. It's shown in a somewhat worn film print, although it was shot digitally. The director seems gratified by the response to the showing, and says she's now shooting a documentary in the same village -- "the line between fiction and non-fiction is blurry for me," a popular sentiment these days, often heard at film festivals and elsewhere (book festivals, for one).

Children can be adorable. Children can also be unruly, unreasonable and stinky. When this happens on an airplane, things can get…unpleasant.
AirAsia X announced that beginning this week, children under 12 are banned from the first seven rows on flights to China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Australia and Nepal. According to CNN, the airline's press release describe this new rollout as a "heavenly package for those who want peace of mind."
For the extra cost (between $11 and $36) passengers in this sectioned-off zone can enjoy softer lighting and less hobbledy hoy from the hoi polloi, thanks to it being sectioned off from the rest of the plane by toilets and bulkheads.
Inquiring minds want to know: Can't you still hear some rugrats?
Airfarewatchdog.com founder George Hobica likened this move to the in-flight smoking ban.
"If you were just one row away from the smoking section, you still got the smoke," Hobica told NBC News. "And you'll still hear the screams … if a child has strong lungs."
AirAsia's CEO insists that the airline isn't "banning" kids from flying, they just making it more pleasant for other passengers. Plus, the company is adding more room for bassinets in two other economy sections.
Hey new moms: This isn't an open invitation to change your kid's diaper in said sections.

In the Wake of Congresswoman Giffords Shooting, What Are Our Kids Learning at School?Dana Rousmaniere
Last night, I lay in bed with my kids while my first-grader read us her newest library book: "A Picture Book of Martin Luther King, Jr." Her school and her class have been studying about Dr. King in anticipation of next week's holiday. Julia quietly read passages like:
"In 1954, Martin Luther King, Jr. began his first job as a pastor in Montgomery, Alabama. The next year Rosa Parks, a black woman, was arrested in Montgomery for sitting in the White Only' section of the bus."
Then, my daughter would abruptly put the book down and sit straight up to interject comments like:
"Now, let me tell you about Rosa Parks! She was tired. And she just wanted to sit down on the bus, and when a white man told her to move, she decided to stand up for herself, and that was a good thing to do!"
Then she'd pick up the book, and continue reading:
"In 1964, Dr. King was awarded one of the greatest honors any man can win, the Nobel Peace Prize."
Except that, when she was sounding it out, Julia pronounced it as "noble" peace prize, and when I corrected her, she said:
"Mom! Are you sure? Don't you think it should be noble peace prize?"
Julia is clearly animated about and interested in the subject. And I'd like to thank her teachers and her school for that. Especially this week, as our nation witnessed the senseless shooting of congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, and as people have been quick to point out that the state of political discourse in this country (for instance, Katie's blog on Sarah Palin's "crosshairs" map) has in no small part contributed to this type of violence. I'm so glad to know that—at least in our schools this week—our children are learning about concepts like free speech and peaceful protest and one man's dream for a world free of hate, prejudice, and violence.
My daughter is too little to know about the news of congresswoman Gifford's shooting. But, this week in school, she learned that Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated by a lone gunman for standing up for his beliefs. She learned why that's wrong, and about responding to violence with peace, and to hate with love. At least our teachers are reinforcing this message for our children. But, why does it have to take an act of violence, like congresswoman Giffords' shooting, for our political leaders to do the same?

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) - An earthquake that hit southern Maine has rattled nearby New England states as far as Connecticut, including the Boston area.
The U.S. Geological Survey at first estimated a 4.5 magnitude Earthquake hit Maine Tuesday night., but later downgraded that to 4.0. It hit at about 7:12 p.m. The epicenter, about 3 miles west of Hollis Center, Maine, is about 3 miles deep. That's about 20 miles west of Portland.
The Maine Emergency Management Agency had no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
In Waterboro near the epicenter, about 20 customers and staff at Waterboro House of Pizza ran outside when they heard a loud bang and the building shook.
The Seabrook Station nuclear plant, about 60 miles away in New Hampshire, declared an unusual event, but said it wasn't affected. The plant has been offline for refueling.

hi i want to convert to 9 speed what do i need. i have got the 9 speed rear cassette i know i need a 9 speed shifter but not sure what else i need.
hi i want to convert to 9 speed what do i need. i have got the 9 speed rear cassette i know i need a 9 speed shifter but not sure what else i need.
are you going from 7 speed to 9 speed, or 8 speed to 9 speed?
8 speed my bike is 8 on back 3 on front
Cassette, chain, and rear shifter.
do i not need a new crank so there is only one cog at the front instead of 3. also will my 9speed cassette fit on my existing hub.
You can keep all three rings up front with the same crank. Yes, the cassette will fit your existing hub.Originally Posted by ashleywood.ash

Parting out the old Mountain Cycle Rumble.
ok but i would like to convert to the single cog on the front so i only need the one shifter but dont no what i need to do to convert to one cog
I think you mean chainring on the front but if you do do the one cog up front you only need the one shifter for the rear derailler. If your doing jumping or something it might be good to have one of those chain tensioner whatever you call them things to prevent the chain from jumping off the teeth. If you have a triple crankset you could just leave it on whichever ring you prefer. Or you could have one chainring with a bashguard and the tensioner thing.
yeah thats right. i want the one cog one with the chain thing. can you fit a bmx chain ring to a mountain bike?
What you're talking about is called a 1x9 setup. A 9 speed cassette will work in place of an 8 speed. All you'll need is the narrower chain for 9 speed and a new rear shifter. For the front, ditch the granny gear, replace the big ring with a bash guard/rock ring. You might also want to ad an n-gear jump stop chain guide to make sure the chain can't jump off to the inside (the bash guard keeps it from jumping off to the outside).
No, you can't use a bmx chain with a 9 speed cassette. It is too wide.
Just curious, why change to 9 speed? 8 speed can cover the same range and is more robust, since the chain is wider... I usually run a 1x8 (or even 1x7) for my projects. Have fun.
magic thank you.
to answer the question i heard that 8 speed is harder to set up the gearing and the gears slip a lot which is what is happening in my bike now the gears always slip and i cant get it quite right. i was told it is easier to stop that using 9 speed
Hmmm... never heard that about 8-speed. Maybe others will chime in also. I suspect you've just got some worn components causing slipping. The same thing will happen to 9-speed as they wear. If you want to describe the slipping in detail, I'm sure the group can troubleshoot it for you (and maybe save you some money).
Originally Posted by ashleywood.ash

You might want to figure out why your 8 speed set up is slipping or between gears before you lay down money on a new 9 speed set up. Sort of sounds like a bent derailluer or something.
Check your chain links also.
Actually, if your 8 speed chain is still good use it on your new 9 speed cassette. Tolerances are not that tight on the 9 speed. I'm running SRAM 8 speed chains on both my 9 speed mountain and touring bikes. Of course, once these chains need replacing Ill replace them 9 speed specific chains.
Depending on chain wear, he may also need new chainrings as well.Originally Posted by nodnerb

I'm in the process of buying a home right now, and lucky for me (and all the other home buyers out there), there's a great new tool to help you find the place that's right for you: My Perfect Home powered by Home Scouting.
Sure, there are lots of sites out there for house hunters, but most of them only have a small percentage of real estate listings. Because My Perfect Home is powered by Home Scouting, this comprehensive website offers more listings than anywhere else. With all the local MLS listings at your fingertips, you're sure to have a full picture of the market you're shopping in, and you won't miss out on the very best homes.
What's even better about these listings is that they're direct MLS listings. If you've ever been led astray or had your hopes crushed by an incorrect listing on another website, this is something to be excited about. Here's what Elias Akouri, a Quicken Loans team member, had to say about it:
"While I was looking for homes, I often found that home sites weren't up to date with the proper information. In some cases, commonly-used sites had inaccurate home prices, old listings that had already sold and even homes that weren't even for sale. My real estate agent helped me understand that those sites were not tied to the listings. That's why we're excited to partner with My Perfect Home and the Home Scouting service. We hope that home buyers appreciate that Quicken Loans is contributing mortgage calculators and mortgage information to a site that's providing a shopping experience that focuses on home buyers – not marketers."
The plethora of precise listings isn't the only reason My Perfect Home is head and shoulders above the rest. My Perfect Home is the only place you can compare homes side by side. Just choose up to three homes, and you can easily compare and contrast everything from square footage to school district. The compare feature lets you see everything you need to know about your homes of choice, all in a convenient, ad-free layout.
What's more, My Perfect Home allows you to estimate your monthly payment quickly and easily. Just choose your down payment amount, and you can see how the homes you're interested in fit within your monthly budget. If you like what you see, you can connect with a Home Loan Expert or a real estate agent right from the website! At Quicken Loans, we're all about making your life easier, and that's why My Perfect Home is a tool we can get behind.

Angry Birds Creator Actually Not Angry About Theme Park Rip-off
By Brent Randall 5 years ago
If youre one of the millions addicted to Angry Birds, and you happen to be in China, you might want to visit Changsha, where a theme park has opened that is based on the popular game. In the park, visitors do essentially exactly what you do in the game, but with (unfortunately) more physical activity: slingshot plush birds at green pig balloons inside brick castles.
CBS News reports that the theme park is completely unauthorized by the games developer, Rovio. Indeed, the park is a complete rip off of the concept, as China has been apt to do (like say, with counterfeit Apple stores).
The Angry Birds park is part of a bigger attraction called the Window of the World. Rovio actually does not have a problem with what the Window of the World is doing, although they have hinted that theyd kind of appreciate it if the park partnered with them instead of just doing their own thing. After all, its pretty heavy trademark infringement.
Maybe the reason Rovio can so easily brush off the implications for trademark law and common courtesy is that the company is valued at somewhere around $1.2 billion thanks to Angry Birds. Oh yeah, and giant corporations like Electronic Arts, News Corp. and Disney have all been rumoured to want to purchase the company. And if theyre not interested in them, Rovios considering becoming a public company instead, to presumably bolster the intricate and complicated expansion of birds flying into pigs. So theyll be resting pretty easy either way.
The Angry Birds aspect of the park is planned to only run until the end of September. No word yet on whether Annoying Orange: Kitchen Carnage will be taking its place.

Using Catalogs and Databases
When using the computers in the library, open up Internet Explorer. The Urbana University home page should come up. If not, ask for assistance.
When working from home, type in http://www.urbana.edu. When the Urbana University home page comes up click on Academics, Campus Life or Resources and then click on "Library." When the library page comes up, click on Urbana University Catalog (first choice under "Books").
You may search for books using keyword, author, title, subject, etc. To search for a particular book--click on title, type in title and click on search. If Urbana University owns the book it will bring up the record, tell you the location (what part of the collection it is in or if it is available at the Student Success Center), give you the call number for retrieval from the shelf and tell you whether or not the book is available (status).
If Urbana University does not own the book, it will say "no matches found." If you would like to request this book from another library, the next step is to click on the "Search OhioLINK" box at the top of the page. If any OhioLINK libraries own the book, it will either bring up a list of books with that title or it will bring up the item record for that title. If it brings up a list, click on the one that best matches what you want (certain publication year, etc.). The item record page will show which libraries (Library Holdings box) own the book and whether or not it's available at any of the owning libraries. If there is a copy available, click on the green "Request" button. The next screen will ask you to "Please select your school or institution." Choose "Urbana University" and click on "Submit above information." Enter your name (last name, first name) and your barcode number. You do not need to fill in the "cancel if not filled by" date. Click on "Submit." If you are requesting more than one book, the system will retain your name and barcode number so you don't need to enter them again. When you request the second, third, etc. book, the "Request Verification" box will come up and all you need to do is click on "Submit." When you are finished requesting items, click on "Log off" in the upper left corner of the screen so your name and barcode number do not remain in the system.
The book should be delivered to the Urbana University Library in 2-3 days. We will call you when the book arrives. You may check the book out for 3 weeks and it may be renewed six times if no one else in OhioLINK puts a hold on it.
You may search for videos, records, CDs, etc. in this same manner. Most of the audiovisual items borrowed from other libraries are checked out for one week only and cannot be renewed.
If the item is not available in OhioLINK, click on the SearchOhio icon at the top of the page. SearchOhio is a group of public libraries in the state of Ohio whose catalogs are all linked together to allow easy sharing of materials. Urbana University patrons are able to order items through SearchOhio. This borrowing system works the same as OhioLINK.
If no one inOhioLINK or SearchOhio owns the book, just fill out an interlibrary loan request form and we will borrow it through our nationwide interlibrary loan program. The book should be here in 7-10 days and we will call you when it arrives.
If you would like to order a magazine article it must be requested through our nationwide interlibrary loan program. Articles cannot be ordered through OhioLINK. The articles take approximately 7-10 days to arrive and are xeroxed copies that you may keep.
You may also retrieve magazine articles from the many databases that are available through OhioLINK. On the Urbana University library page, scroll down and click on "listed by name" under OhioLINK databases.
If you are working from home, type in http://www.urbana.edu. When the Urbana University home page comes up, click on Academics, Campus Life or Resources and then click on "Library." Click on the "Log into OhioLINK from an off-campus computer" link under "OhioLINK Databases." When the "Institution Selection Form" comes up, choose Urbana University and click on "Submit."

You may pull up databases in three different ways--by subject, type and name. Academic Search Complete is a good general database to use for searching. Click on "A" under "Listed by Name" and then click on "Academic Search Complete."
When the search screen comes up, type your topic in the box at the top of the screen. You may limit your results by marking the "Full Text" and/or "Peer Reviewed" boxes. If you would like to limit your search to a certain time period, you may do so by filling in the "Published Date" boxes. If you would like articles on your topic to come from a specific magazine, enter the title in the "Publication" box. When you have everything filled in, click the search button beside your topic. This will bring up all the articles on your topic.
If you are working from home, the first search screen that comes up has nothing on it but a box in which to type your search terms. Click on "advanced search" under the box. Another screen will come up that has all the search options. Type your search term in the box at the top and click the box beside "EBSCO Full Text Only" on the left side under "Limit your results." If you would like to limit your search to "Peer Reviewed" articles, click this box on the right side under "Limit your results." If you want the articles to be from a certain magazine, you can type the title in the "Journal" box. If you want articles from a certain time period, you can enter this information in the "Published Date from" boxes. When you have filled everything in, click on the "Search" button at the top and this will bring up all the articles on your topic.
If the article is PDF full text, you will need Acrobat Reader to bring it up. To print the article, click on the print button inside the PDF window. The PDF full text is copied directly from the magazine so pages appear as originally published. The HTML full text articles are typed into the computer so they do not appear as published. Just scroll down on the abstract screen to find the HTML full text. HTML full text does not require the Acrobat Reader.

Does anyone have measurements of any kind to direct me in knowing if it will work on my bike? Also, about what weight would you say it is good for holding or recommended. I am looking at the Nitto rear rack as well.
Is there other ones i should consider? i will not be doing any week long tours, at least not anytime soon. But is there other types you would recommend? I have access to various types through my shop but am trying to narrow it down based on expert advise...but since i couldn't do that. I came here. jk. But i was looking at the axiom streamliner, it's rated to 110 pounds! It may be overkill for me.
I am turning my Bianchi Cross cro-mo into an all rounder. I am 6' and weigh 170 pounds if those details matter regarding weight on total ride. Day trip rides and one overnighters to start. maybe a few more days at times. mostly country roads, rail to trails. no heavy off roads, dirt roads at most.
thanks in advance for any recommendations.

In Norway we have a choice between 46 weeks (with 100% pay) or 56 weeks (with 80% pay) parental leave. Six weeks are reserved for the mother, 10 weeks reserved for the father (plus the 2 weeks off they get at the time of the birth), and the rest can be shared. Next year, the fathers 10 weeks will be increased to 12 weeks.
Some fathers, however, feel that they are not able to take this leave, but this very much depends on the type of work he has, e.g. somebody who is paid on commission can hardly afford to take 10 weeks off. Or, for somebody who is running their own company, it might be difficult to take so much time out.
The mother does not have the "luxury" to decide whether or not she can afford to take maternity leave, as she kind of has to take at least some time off, and traditionally it is expected that the takes most of the leave.
By reserving 10 weeks for the father, I believe, the Norwegian government is trying to make the point that fathers also should take time off; and therefore, trying to make men and woman more equal — not only at home, but also in the workplace (think about it – if you had the choice between hiring a man in his thirties or a woman the same age, who would you choose? I know I wouldn't choose the person who is likely to take up to a year in leave, but that is discrimination and is not allowed…)
Most men take only the allocated 10 weeks, but there are those who are lucky enough to have wives who 'let' them have some more time – and my husband is one of those lucky chaps. He will have a total of 4 months "daddy leave" and has recently started it!
I think I have been very lucky to have a husband who willingly takes such an active part of the wee lads' life. My husband would sleep in the spare bedroom in the beginning, so that he would have enough energy to help me out in the daytime (or in the evening after he came home from work). But, some weekends he would do the night shift for me.
When he came home from work he would take over from me and play with the lad and also do the "bedtime routine", which, for us, consists of bath, tooth brushing, bedtime story and/or song. Then, I would be able to get a "break" to do the cooking and cleaning etc.
But now, I am the one working, whilst my husband is at home, and he seems to realise that it is a bit more tiring to play with a baby the whole day than he imagined, and that there isn't really much time to do other things. (And, I guess I have to admit that I realise how tiring it is to be at work all day.)
The dad has even been to the "new mummy group", not sure if he had a latte and a croissant though (as I would) — he normally goes for the healthy option. He is also taking the lad for his doctor's appointment, and going to "baby singing" and going for long walks everyday with the baby in his "backpack carrier" (we have this one). And, he even has dinner ready for me when I come home from work (almost every day)!
He seems to be managing just fine without me, apart from the odd phone call. The last one I got he asked if I was especially attached to certain pyjamas because it had pooh all over it. He was hoping he could just throw it out, instead of trying to clean it!
It is a little bit strange for me not to be the one who knows when the next nap is due, or not know what food the lad prefers. And, it was hard the first time the wee lad preferred his father to me (this happens especially when he is very tired). But, at the same time, seeing the lad with his daddy is one of the nicest things I see. It makes me feel so proud of them both.
It sometimes even brings tears to my eyes, and then the daddy asks me what is wrong, but it is difficult to explain. I can't even explain it to myself, as I seem to have turned into an emotional wreck at times! And, I can't blame the "breastfeeding fog" or hormones anymore, or can I?
On a side note: if the dad was to read this article, he would never let me forget how perfect he is, so I had better mention a few other things as well:
The dirty laundry does not make its way to the laundry basket by itself, and maybe you could even put on a wash? The garbage does not throw itself out, and yes, sometimes you may have to plan what we need from the shop. I am at work all day, and I can't guess that you just finished the last pint of milk or that we are running out of nappies. Oh – and no, I do not know where his stripey jumper is, I was not the last to have it… There – now this article is a bit more balanced!
Do you share the parenting tasks with your husband or partner? How balanced or unbalanced would you say your share is?

I'm seriously into breastfeeding, so by default most of the early work is mine. We have three children, two with sociable temperaments who were/are happy for Dad to look after them and one who is hyper-sensitive and only I will do…to the point where he would scream and then vomit on anyone else, or on me after he had been with anyone else. For three and a half years. Love the idea of sharing maternity leave with fathers, but worry about the impact on breastfeeding…
Hi Kloppenmum, luckily my son hasn't vomited on me yet (well, not for that reason anyway!) 🙂 I stopped breastfeeding when he was 3 months old (I feel another article coming on), so that hasn't been an issue for our little family. I know friends who keep feeding in the morning and the evening, but it is possible to squeze in a daytime feed aswell as any mother is entitled to one (or is it two) hours off per day just for this! (Where I work that would have been paid time, other companies offer it unpaid)
I wish here in India we had such a looooong maternity leave. Whether I would end up sharing it with daddy or would hog up the entire ML myself, I would love the fact that my son would have one of his parents at his side till he learns to walk. Alas, it is just 12 weeks here 🙁
You lucky girl!
Hi Alchemist, I don't think I was out of my PJs by 12 weeks! I can't imagine going back to work that early and being productive, it took me several months go get my brain back in order again 🙂
Asta, I've so been there from the tears to the daddy-preference, all of it! I love how balanced the leaves are in Norway and I think that you're right- the message sent about family and equal duties and importance is amazing and so, so valuable! But my favorite part? Was the poopy jammy phone call! I've been on the receiving *and* calling end of that one! 🙂
I have never actually made the "poopy jammy phone call" myself, but I did throw out a pair without even asking for permission! 🙂
Great post, Asta. It so interesting to learn how the work of post partum
and earliest childcare play out in different places. I don't work, so the leave part wasn't an issue for me. But my husband works and got 4 weeks of paternity leave, which did help alot. For our first child, he used his vacation time after the birth and we saved his leave time until our baby was 6 months old so we could have a family summer holiday for a month. For our 2nd, though, he took it right away, which not only helped me tremendously with keeping the household going but also brought some much needed security and attention to our older son during such a big family change. He never got off his routine or felt neglected, which made welcoming our new addition go very well. But I wish we could have a system more like yours where there are more time and options available during such an exciting and important life changing event!
Great that the dad was able to take all his holiday in one go, and also to take it to spend time at home, must have been so nice for the first born, but also for you as I imagine you had your hands full the little one!
Great post, Asta! Its great that you have such flexibility with leave after the baby is born! I took off for six months (4 months paid leave and the rest was saved up vacation time). After I returned to work part time my parents watched Chase 2 days per week and my husband worked a 40 hour week in 4 days so that he had one whole day to stay home. It was a great set-up for as long as it lasted. He didn't get any real "paternity" time and only took 3 days off once we came home from the hospital. It would have been much nicer if he was home with me in the early days but I had my parents around which made a world of difference. Now I'm home full time so if we ever have another baby maternity leave won't be an issue, I guess!
Hi Allison, must be so nice though to have had help from your parents! We are going to start with a childminder now, which feels a little bit scary (yet a another blog article on its way), she comes recommended but still… leaving my little lad with a stranger, I will have to get used to the idea…
Wow Asta – you guys are lucky to have such a long leave! My husband's company is actually a lot more generous than most here in the U.S. and he got a month of paid paternity leave, which he took after my three months of maternity leave ended. It definitely gave him an appreciation for how tough it is to be home all day with the baby!
I hear you about feeling like you are missing out on something by your husband being "closer" to the baby during his leave. I think that is only natural. My hubby would remind me that he felt that way when I was first home with our baby on my leave.
I spend more of the day with our children since they commute with me to and from work (their childcare is on my work campus), so I do a little bit more than my hubby does. And as kloppenum mentions, since I've been breastfeeding, most of the early work falls on my shoulders. But when we are both home, we try to divide and conquer with our two girls. For example, at bedtime, he will get our oldest one ready for bed while I take are of the baby.
Eva, I think it is great your husband got that time off, and was able to experience being at home aswell, I think any time is good, just to get that appreciation (that we don't spend all our time drinking lattes with other mummies) 😉
The nordic countries are very generous with parental leave, it makes me want to move there! In NZ we get a few weeks (12? 16? it keeps improving) of paid parental leave, which can be taken by the mother or shared with the other parent. We can also take up to a year of unpaid leave and return to the same job. I've been lucky enough to take 15 months with each of my last two children – my employer granted me further leave without pay. My husband has stayed home with me for the first 6 weeks after each baby on paid leave, again he has a more-than-usually generous employer. I was/am so grateful!
And I would love to move to NZ, Kate! (I think NZ is a perfect combination of nature and wine 🙂 Just ashame it is so far away from relatives I don't think we will ever actually be able to move there… 15 months off is great, and having your husband there for the first 6 weeks! My husband only got 2 weeks off after the birth, and then he took one week holiday, and those 3 weeks just flew passed.
Good grief, Kate you are lucky. Craig was self-employed with numbers one and two so we hardly saw him – despite number two being an emergency c-section, and me being in a bit of a mess – thankgoodness for grandmothers…I had him home for two weeks when we had number three and that was bliss.
Yes, I am exceptionally lucky, and very very grateful!
My husband does at least half the nappy changes, too 🙂
I think Norway has got it right! My husband gets 2 weeks of paternity leave from his employer, here, in the US, and we think THAT's luxury, but it shouldn't be that way! It is interesting to learn how other countries and parents handle the leave around having a baby. Wouldn't it be great if Norway became the world standard? If only…
Veronica Samuels 🙂
I think we are very lucky!
[…] I have also written about this in a lot more detail over on WorldMomsBlog! […]
[…] things are done, and the expectations to you as a mother. Here in Norway we get a year in maternity/paternity leave (both parents have to take time off to make it a year – my husband took 4 months), and […]
[…] post on paternity […]
Does the Norwegian system allow paternity leave even if the wife has been unemployed her whole life? My gut feeling tells me no.
Great post btw.
Hi – you are correct. To get maternity (or paternity) leave, the mother (or father) has to have worked for a certain amount of time. I think it was 6 or 12 months, I can't quite remember.
Both my husband and I got leave after only living in Norway for about a year.
Thanks for the comment!

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Residents in three California foothill communities are returning home after a powerful storm that threatened to unleash mud on neighborhoods beneath unstable hills scarred by recent wildfires.
With the storm reduced to sprinkles, residents in the Los Angeles County cities of Glendora and Azusa were allowed back into their homes today. Monrovia residents were allowed back late yesterday.
The storm — the largest since 2010 — kept emergency planners and rescue crews busy, but it didn't produce enough rain to pull California out of a crippling drought that has grown to crisis proportions for the state's vast farming industry.

We propose a duplication-aware disk array (DADA), which instead of removing duplicates, keeps track of block duplication and uses duplicate contents to improve the reliability and availability of storage arrays. DADA is designed specifically for primary storage systems, which contain only a moderate degree of duplication and therefore, do not benefit from deduplication. Based on our analysis of 5 different file server contents, we show that DADA can reduce scrubbing and recovery time by 17-26% with little or no overhead. DADA can also use its duplication awareness to recover from latent sector errors that are otherwise unrecoverable.
