Drudging respect
In 50 years, the coveted Drudge Prizes
As the Clinton scandal watch warmed up again in late summer, reporters seeking scoops once more flocked to the Web site of Matt Drudge, the intrepid Internetter who back in January forced polite publications to make Monica Lewinsky a household name. Newsweek reported on July 27 that "everyone in Washington" looks to Mr. Drudge for information-yet at the same time, journalists are publicly attacking his Web site and new Fox News show for contributing to a decline of media standards.
Whiners, welcome to journalism history 101. Matt Drudge is doing what some of the most esteemed names in American press lore-Benjamin Harris, John Peter Zenger, Samuel Adams, Horace Greeley, Joseph Pulitzer, and others-did to arouse their communities, make themselves famous, and (in some cases) uphold God's standards of conduct.
The Library of Congress in 1990 had a lavish exhibition commemorating the tercentennial of the first American newspaper, Publick Occurrences Both Foreign and Domestick, edited by Benjamin Harris. Government officials suppressed the paper after only one issue because Harris reported that France's king, Louis XIV, "is in much trouble (and fear) not only with us but also with his Son, who has revolted against him lately, and has great reason if reports be true, that the Father used to lie with the Son's Wife." In 1690, the authorities successfully stifled reporting of royal incest.
Brave journalists these days compete for awards named after John Peter Zenger, the 1730s editor of the New York Weekly Journal who took on the colony's royal governor, William Cosby. Cosby, a bribe-taker and land-stealer, threw Zenger in jail on a libel charge. Cozy writers and court sycophants at the time were afraid to speak up, but a jury that included "common People" freed the editor and made his case a landmark of press freedom.
Samuel Adams, who failed as a brewmaster but was a hard-hitting columnist on the Boston Gazette during the 1760s and 1770s, emphasized investigative reporting: "Publick Liberty will not long survive the Loss of publick Virtue," he wrote. British authorities accused him of making up stories about corruption, but London's adulterous reality turned out to be even worse than Adams imagined, and a revolutionary battle to regain both liberty and virtue began.
George Wisner, editor in the 1830s of the New York Sun, the first successful "penny newspaper," democratized media that had grown stodgy by emphasizing sensational stories of corruption. He received heavy criticism for naming names of those arrested, but argued that exposure of wrongful action creates "a tendency to deter from disorders and crimes, and to diminish the number of criminals."
Harris, Zenger, Adams, and Wisner all expressed faith in Christ, and coupled exposure of man's depravity with columns emphasizing God's holiness. Late 19th-century journalists continued to show man's ugliness but forgot about God; their problem was not too much truth-telling but too little about what was most important.
The most recognizable practitioner of today's Drudge approach a century ago was Joseph Pulitzer, who owned and edited first the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and then the New York World. With headlines like "GRABBER GARFIELD," Pulitzer attacked presidents who took shady campaign contributions. He defended young women preyed upon by older men with headlines like "VICTIMS OF HIS PASSION."
The height of Pulitzer's influence came in 1898, as World circulation soared to one million during the Spanish-American War-but New York newspapers that had forgotten their roots attacked him viciously. Pulitzer outfoxed his critics by leaving in his will funds to establish in 1912 a school of journalism at Columbia University, and to endow the Pulitzer Prizes, first handed out in 1917. The name "Pulitzer," once reviled, is now revered by reporters who do not bite the hand that they hope will feed them.
Whether today's journalists like it or not, if Matt Drudge makes millions and invests his money as wisely as Pulitzer did, his press rehabilitation will not be far behind. The larger question is whether he will be merely sensationalist, like Joseph Pulitzer, or biblically sensational, like the founders of American journalism, exposing sin but also pointing people to God, and showing a willingness throughout to acknowledge their own sins.
That's something for mainline American journalism generally to do. With CNN forced to acknowledge that it blew a big story on the supposed U.S. use of nerve gas in Vietnam; with the Cincinnati Enquirer acknowledging in a front-page apology that stories attacking Chiquita Brands' business practices were untrue; and with Boston Globe and New Republic columnists forced out because of story and quotation fabrication, Matt Drudge's success should be the least of the journalism establishment worries.

Real Live College Guy Andy: Is Inviting A New Guy To A Formal Too Forward?
Do you ever find yourself shrugging your shoulders and settling on the "boys will be boys" conclusion? Real Live College Guy Andy is here to show you that mature men do (in fact) exist. He has an uncanny ability to sort out the good guys from the bad apples and is here to bring you the best in college love advice.
I want to invite this guy to a formal date party for my sorority. The thing is, we've only hung out a few times so I don't know him particularly well. But I had a lot of fun with him when we did hang out, and I know I'll regret it if I don't just go for it and ask him. Is he going to think that's weird and too forward? - Why Not? at William & Mary
Why Not,
As college guys, we don't usually complain about romantic interests being too forward. We're notorious for wanting things to move quickly, so there is little to no chance that this guy is going to feel like things are "moving too fast".
This predicament of yours seems to me like it wouldn't be one that's too rare for sorority sisters. For those of you who are single and don't want to take a currently platonic male friend to formal, what are you left with? In this case, you probably have to take a guy (whom like in your case) you don't know too well but could end up dating if things go right.
If this is the guy you want to take, then you owe it to yourself to ask him. If you don't ask, you will just be left wondering. Yet if you do ask him, you will learn more clues as to how he sees you. Since you hardly know each other, he most likely won't say yes if he isn't romantically interested.
If he accepts your invitation, don't read too much into it. He shouldn't be overly nosy as to ask if it's an actual date, and if he does, he may just want to know whether or not to get his hopes up. It doesn't necessarily mean he isn't interested in it being a romantic date.
And if he declines, the fashion in which he turns you down will say a lot. If he expresses real remorse for not being able to accept (gives you details of the plans he has that are preventing him from being free that night) then he probably likes you. Now, if he declines and gives a lame excuse, then it's pretty clear that he's just not interested. But yours truly has always been in the camp of knowledge over dignity. I would rather a girl decline going out with me rather than forever wonder if she likes me or not.
Overall, you shouldn't stress too much about this. You are not doing anything out of social norm by asking this guy to formal. Just go for it and see what happens.

Graphic representation of the auscultatory phenomena of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, of value to clinician and teacher, has not been widely used because of technical difficulties. The apparatus commonly used has been suited to the physiologic laboratory and not to the office or clinic. The oscillographic records of Einthoven, Lewis, Fahr, Watson and Wemyss, Williams, Wolferth and Hyman, and use of the capsule method by Frank, Wiggers, Broemser, A. Weber and others have thrown considerable light on the physical characteristics and mechanism of the sounds and made more accurate the time relations of heart murmurs. Students of graphic records develop the visual sense in their study of the timing and character of the auscultatory phenomena. They learn to form a visual image of the stethoscopic findings at the time of physical examination. The importance of the stethoscopic findings has recently been properly emphasized by Herrick.1

U.K. Pledges $31 Million to Help Wipe Out Guinea Worm Disease
The British government has pledged about $31 million to help eradicate guinea worm disease, a donation that public-health experts say will bring them close to finishing the job.
A quarter century ago, the crippling parasitic infection afflicted 3.5 million people a year in more than 20 countries. This year, there are expected to be just over 1,000 cases in four African countries. More than 98% of those cases are in South Sudan, with a few dozen in Ethiopia, Mali, and Chad.
Guinea worm disease is passed along when people drink water from sources containing water fleas that harbor guinea worm larvae. Once inside a human, the larvae spawn worms that can reach three feet in length. The worms incubate for a year and then emerge slowly through painful lesions. When people soak their lesion-covered limbs in water, the worms release larvae, starting the cycle all over again.
The 25-year-long push to eradicate guinea worm is championed by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, whose Carter Center in Atlanta has led the effort. The donation from the U.K. Department for International Development will be made over four years to the Carter Center.
According to the center, the best way to eliminate the disease is to "prevent people from entering sources of drinking water with an emerging guinea worm and to educate households to always use household or pipe filters to sieve out tiny water fleas carrying infective larvae."
Donald Hopkins, vice president for health programs for the Carter Center, said $275 million, donated by several governments, has been spent so far wiping out the disease. The U.K. donation will go toward the $75 million the Carter Center estimates is needed to get the job done and to verify eradication.
"We're very close," says Hopkins, who has been working on guinea worm eradication since 1980. "This is going to happen. I can't predict when, but it will be soon." The Carter Center's goal is to break the cycle of disease transmission in South Sudan next year, with no cases reported in 2013, he says. It would take three years of no cases to certify that the disease has been wiped out.
The donation comes as the U.K. is growing foreign-aid donations while implementing belt-tightening elsewhere, said Annabelle Malins, British Consul General in Atlanta. "We hope this will be a major tipping point to provide for the full funding requirement" for guinea worm eradication, she said.
Guinea worm disease would be the second human disease to be eradicated after smallpox, and the first to be wiped out without a vaccine or medical treatment. The disease hurts local agriculture in particular as it cripples workers temporarily during planting or harvests.

The Medical University of South Carolina will work with biopharmaceutical firm Berg to identify potential biomarkers to treat lupus, according to a news release.
Through a new partnership, Berg's Interrogative Biology platform will be applied to several serum, urine and kidney data points from patients in MUSC's rheumatology clinics. Data from tissue samples will be analyzed to look for a biomarker that predicts the onset and progression of lupus, an autoimmune disease affecting one in every 2,000 people, according to Berg.
Berg and MUSC are partnering to expand and accelerate their searches for lupus biomarkers. (Photo by Ashley Barker)
"We're looking to uncover actionable insights, leading to the identification of new targets and, ultimately, the development of more patient-friendly, personalized therapies," Narain said in a statement.
What the companies learn through the partnership should help MUSC doctors provide tailored drug therapies to their lupus patients, according to Dr. Gary Gilkeson, professor of medicine at MUSC and director of the Lupus Research Group.
"Lupus presents a variety of health concerns and complications, ranging from arthritis to renal failure, and whilst drugs exist, they are only partially effective for about half our patients," Gilkeson said in a statement. "Combining Berg's platform with our database and expertise puts us in a greater position to better understand this complex disease."
The Interrogative Biology platform has previously found targets, therapeutics and biomarkers for cancer, metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity, and neurodevelopment disorders such as autism spectrum disorder, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

An avid long-distance swimmer, Jim Zinger seeks to keep swimmers safe and confident out in the open water even when going solo. After several trials he has perfected SwimmerBuddy, a device that keeps swimmers visible to all watercraft and lifeguards.
Jim Zinger conceived SwimmerBuddy after he participated in the Annual Alcatraz Swim. In the flurry of this event, he found himself unable to distinguish between each swimmer. He realized that once swimmers are in the open water they become invisible to watercraft and lifeguards, completely alone and surrounded by the elements. With SwimmerBuddy those worries are diminished, "when [people] see me getting out of the water…they say they can spot that thing forever," says Jim.
Shannon Swartz, a relay team swimmer who crossed the English Channel in a 2-person relay with nephew Todd Miller enthusiastically shared, "Having the swimmer buddy to train with is so perfect…boats, body boards, canoes, water jets, all see me….very very calming."
Swimmers' visibility is SwimmerBuddy's main focus, but like a swimming buddy SwimmerBuddy is there always ready to support a fatigued swimmer. "If you get tired, you can hold on to it," says Jim, "and because of its size it's easy to get on top of and catch your breath. An advantage that SwimmerBuddy has over a fellow swimmer is that even if the user panics and quickly grabs on to SwimmerBuddy it keeps them above the water."
Refreshments and equipment are within an arm's reach with SwimmerBuddy's huge storage area.
"[This] device provided the most visibility and storage of any of the three products tested… The consensus was that the SwimmerBuddy is perfect for adventure swimming and hopping barrier islands or sandbars, especially in areas with traffic from boats and other watercraft…For the solo swimmer training for long swims…SwimmerBuddy offers good visibility, some safety and a way to carry supplies." – USMS's review of Swimmer Buddy in their March-April 2012 magazine issue
"…feeds are MUCH quicker with the Swimmer Buddy. I can get it down to less than 30 seconds quite easily." — Gordon Gridley, co-race director of the Great Salt Lake Open Water Marathon Swim and who swam across the English Channel in 11 hours and 30 minutes
"This would probably be my first choice for a long unsupported swim where I need to cart my own feeds." — Rob Dumouchel, blogger for RobAquatics and an open water marathon swimmer
"In the channel harbor it allowed me to feel safe and hold my liquids so I didn't have to stop and go to shore……best training tool ever!!!!!"- Shannon Swartz

Re: Official Aussie NRL Thread
Yeah, I'm sick of how much they're trying to milk SBW's return to the game - who gives a **** really?
I thought he played well enough for his first game back but it's not as though he's been sitting around injured for 5 years, he's kept fit playing rugby and training for boxing so it's just match fitness that he'll have to build up over time.
That voice-over stuff they did when he was on the sideline waiting to come on made me cringe
Bunnies looked pretty good but it's early days yet...John Sutton actually looked interested in being there and hit the ball up a couple of times and hit hard in defence - McGuire must have hidden his stash over the offseason because he looked more focused than I've ever seen him.
Inglis was the beast we know he is, although $BW swerved him pretty easily when he scored his try.
George Burgess though - at first glance I thought he was just a cat funt but the boy can motor!!! What'll it be like when him and his twin are both on the field? YIKES!!!!

Off-Site: The Wiz
In an adaptation of the smash Broadway musical, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, legendary singer Diana Ross plays Dorothy, an unfulfilled, 24-year-old kindergarten teacher from Harlem, New York. Her life changes drastically when a random snowstorm sweeps her and her dog, Toto, away into the land of Oz. The familiar story line is lavished with spectacle: New York City is transformed into a magical theater set, with the former World Trade Center as a stand-in for the Emerald City. Ross, joined by Lena Horne, soars through the numbers and songs in a score by Quincy Jones, making this a memorable and timeless film for all ages.

Saturn Moon Loses Its Ring, Gains a MysterySaturday, August 7th, 2010
Until this week Saturn's small moon Rhea was the only known solid space object thought to have a ring. (Other known ringed bodies, such as Saturn, are mainly gaseous.)
Saturn's Aurora Heartbeat DiscoveredWednesday, August 4th, 2010
Saturn's aurora, a ghostly ultraviolet glow that illuminates the gas giant's upper atmosphere near the poles, has a heartbeat that pulses in tandem with the planet's radio emissions, scientists have discovered.
One Saturn Moon Blows Oxygen to AnotherSaturday, July 31st, 2010
A comprehensive model of Saturn's magnetosphere and moons has revealed that the ringed planet's largest moon Titan gets its oxygen from the icy geysers on another

Missing chemicals on Titan could signal lifeFriday, June 11th, 2010
Two new studies about the chemical makeup of Titan, Saturn's hydrocarbon-shrouded moon, raise the possibility that methane-based bacteria might exist on its surface, munching on acetylene and hydrogen.
Mystery of Saturn's midget moons crackedFriday, June 11th, 2010
For decades, researchers have puzzled over the origin of Saturn's baby moons. According to conventional models, these moons are so small that collisions with comets should have blown them to pieces long ago.
Largest Lake on Saturn's Moon Titan Gets Close-UpFriday, June 11th, 2010

What is Consuming Hydrogen and Acetylene on Titan?Friday, June 4th, 2010
Two new papers based on data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft scrutinize the complex chemical activity on the surface of Saturn's moon Titan. While non-biological chemistry offers one possible explanation, some scientists believe these chemical signatures bolster the argument for a primitive, exotic form of life or precursor to life on Titan's surface.
Cassini Double Play: Enceladus and TitanTuesday, May 18th, 2010
About a month and a half after its last double flyby, NASA's Cassini spacecraft will be turning another double play this week, visiting the geyser moon Enceladus and the hazy moon Titan.
Sparks on SaturnSaturday, April 17th, 2010
One of the "flashier" results from planetary exploration is that titanic bolts of lightning routinely zap the atmosphere of Jupiter. It stands to reason that bright discharges should occur on Saturn as well.
Mysterious Pacman on Saturn's moonSaturday, April 10th, 2010
First there was the man in the Moon and the face on Mars, now astronomers have observed a temperature anomaly on Saturn's moon Mimas that looks like the 1980s computer game icon, Pacman.
1980s Video Icon Glows on Saturn MoonWednesday, March 31st, 2010

Cassini Shows Saturnian Roller Derby, Strange WeatherMonday, March 22nd, 2010
From our vantage point on Earth, Saturn may look like a peaceful orb with rings worthy of a carefully raked Zen garden, but NASA's Cassini spacecraft has been shadowing the gas giant long enough to see that the rings are a rough and tumble roller derby. It has also revealed that the planet itself.
Cassini Sees Saturn's Rough and Tumble RingsSunday, March 21st, 2010
The rings of Saturn are the most intricate planetary decorations in our solar system, but are also cosmic gems festooned with unknown red material and some tricky dynamic forces that shape them.
CASSINI IMAGES SATURN'S 'DEATH STAR' MOONThursday, February 18th, 2010
NASA's Saturn-orbiting Cassini spacecraft this month made its closest pass yet of the odd, eyeball-shaped moon Mimas, which bears the scar of a massive, violent impact from its past.
Cassini detection adds to Enceladus liquid water storyTuesday, February 9th, 2010
There seems little doubt that Saturn's moon Enceladus hides a large body of liquid water beneath its icy skin.
The Cassini probe, which periodically sweeps past the little moon, has returned yet more data to back up the idea of a sub-surface sea.
Route 66: Cassini's Next Look at TitanFriday, January 29th, 2010
Sixteen days after last visiting Saturn's largest moon, NASA's Cassini spacecraft returns for another look-see of the cloud-shrouded moon – this time from on high. The flyby on Thursday, Jan. 28, referred to as "T-66" in the hollowed halls of Cassini operations, will place the spacecraft within 7,490 kilometers (4,654 miles) above the surface during time of closest approach.
As The Crust Turns: Cassini Data Show Enceladus in MotionThursday, January 14th, 2010
Blobs of warm ice that periodically rise to the surface and churn the icy crust on Saturn's moon Enceladus explain the quirky heat behavior and intriguing surface of the moon's south polar region, according to a new paper using data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft.

An improved sanitary gravity valve delivers better sealing performance, higher durability, easier maintenance and fewer replacement parts. The orifice gate from Salina, Kan.-based Vortex Valves handles dry-bulk ingredients when frequent or daily equipment sanitation is required in the food, dairy, pharmaceutical, chemical and other industries.
The gate's blade and seal design allows the valve to "self-clean" on the opening stroke, preventing packing on the valve's internal seals even with a flowing column of material. The gate now has no dead pockets or hidden areas that could lead to material spoilage or cross contamination.
The seals help maintain cleanliness and inhibit material dust and fine powders leaking across the valve or into the atmosphere. The valve's hard polymer seals, protected from the material stream, compensate for wear over time, providing long service life and durability.
The upgraded latch assembly improves adjustability and enhances sealing. The clamp nut has been redesigned for easier and quicker rotation. Its adjustable press-lock latches allow for disassembly and reassembly without tools.
The improved sanitary gate has fewer parts for easier maintenance: 13 parts compared to the original 24. Design improvements make the gate easier to clean. The flange-to-flange height takes up less room in a stack up within the facilities. The valve, made of FDA-approved materials, is USDA Dairy Standard Accepted and is also compliant with EU directives and standards.

Mick Jagger is a musician, singer, songwriter and actor, best known as the lead vocalist and a founder member of The Rolling Stones.
Mick Jagger's career has spanned over 50 years. His performance style has been said to have "opened up definitions of gendered masculinity and so laid the foundations for self-invention and sexual plasticity which are now an integral part of contemporary youth culture," and he has been described as "one of the most popular and influential frontmen in the history of rock & roll". Mick Jagger's distinctive voice and performance, along with Keith Richards' guitar style, have been the trademark of The Rolling Stones throughout the career of the band. In 1989, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the Rolling Stones.
In the late 1960s Mick Jagger began acting in films (starting with Performance and Ned Kelly), to mixed reception. In 1985, Jagger released his first solo album, She's the Boss, and was knighted in 2003. In early 2009, Mick Jagger joined the electric supergroup SuperHeavy.

Friday, January 10, 2014 at 4:00 AM
For years, early childhood education advocates have pushed to expand preschool programs nationwide. And research has been pretty resolute in touting the benefits of classroom teaching for three and four year-olds.
But the Washington Post reports a discussion this week at the Cato Institute--a Libertarian think tank--questioned how long those benefits really last.
Data from National Head Start Impact studies were at the center of the conversation. The studies show little difference in how students performed by the end of third grade regardless of whether or not they attended preschool.
Psychology professor Deborah Phillips at Georgetown University is one of the academics raising questions. Her research has found kids who attended preschool tend to demonstrate better gains in the short term, but that those gains fade out over time.
As debate continues about the long term payoff of the preschool investment, educators in Cincinnati hope the public will still buy-in to their push for expanding such programs around the city.

Hundreds Caught out over New Food Laws
WE'VE probably all heard the story about the food inspector who will only ever eat at one North Coast food outlet because she believes it's the only one that complies satisfactorily with health regulations.
It's possible the story is an urban myth which emerged around the middle of last year, just before the NSW Government introduced new legislation requiring local government authorities to report on their food regulatory activities - including complaints received, investigations and subsequent action.
Last Sunday the NSW Food Authority released figures on the activities of local government following the first six months of the new legislation, to the end of 2008. You can see its detailed report on its website, www.foodauthority.nsw (http://www.foodauthority.nsw).
gov.au, but here's a local snapshot.
Most complaints concerned hygiene and handling of food and, of all the food outlets in the Lismore City Council area, 259 were deemed as 'high-risk' but only seven were subject to inspections.
Ballina Shire Council had 30 high-risk establishments and 12 of those were visited by inspectors - not a bad performance and perhaps due to discerning seafood diners on the coast.
Trendy Byron Shire had 380 high-risk establishments but they're not so paranoid about food poisoning in Byron apparently, as only 15 were subject to inspections. …

Gilroy says the 6 month shoot for "The Bourne Legacy" -- which hit locations as far and wide as Seoul, Korea, Manila, Jarkarta, Abu Dhabi, Northern Canada and several parts of the U.S. including crowded New York City -- was "physically taxing." While it's not impossible to do otherwise, the writer/director says for him to write convincing action he has to be physically present. For 'Identity,' he had already lived in Paris and knew its streets well. For 'Supremacy,' he went to Berlin and Moscow and on 'Ultimatum' it was Tangier, sitting on rooftops, mapping out how rooftop chases would go. "The more you know the world, the more know the physics of a geography."
The kinetic, shaky-cam aesthetic of the 'Bourne' films is an anathema to Gilroy. It's similar to the chatty, pop-culture hit-men that arrived in every film post "Pulp Fiction"; he's seen the style done to death. He calls the disorientated sequences in "Full Metal Jacket" masterful and says the same about scenes in "Black Hawk Down," because they're purposefully made to create a timbre of fear, but he also gives the series plaudits for inventing that visual language. "I think there are much greater offenders [than 'Bourne],' " he says, "At least they had real gravity." That pragmatic mandate has stuck. He says his team refers to themselves as "Mission: Plausible," not "Mission: Impossible." Similarly, while "The Bourne Legacy" isn't a wholesale reinvention, the filmmaker thinks the former dynamic is played and has tried to expand the film's overall grammar. "Everybody's doing 'Bourne.' That's an old party," Gilroy says of the way the Bourne's disorientation aesthetic and overall tone has been co-opted by every action movie under the sun. "You gotta know when It's time to leave. You don't want to be the last people out the door so let's go first."
"I believe in corporate evolution," Howard Tully, as played by Tom Wilkinson says ruthlessly in Gilroy's sophomore effort, "Duplicity." It may seem like a throwaway line in relation to the writer/director's other films, but it's a type of narrative raison d'etre for Gilroy. Not one that he consents to morally, but one he subscribes to narratively. Look at "Michael Clayton" and "Duplicity," and you'll see odious corporate influence at the nexus of his stories and this theme also drives "The Bourne Legacy." After all, behind every corrupt politician willing to create a not-on-the-books Black Ops organization generally lies a corporate entity willing to profit from it.
At the heart of it all, pulling a lot of the unseen strings in the series so far is Edward Norton's CIA architect agent Ret. Col. Ric Byer. "His character is just a complete polymath with a military background," Gilroy said. "He's managed to prove a great power utilizing military muscle and bodies and resources with corporate money, corporate research and the intelligence communities need for everything." Norton and Gilroy fit hand in glove and the filmmaker doubts this is the last time they'll work together.
"It's so rich and real," Gilroy said of the shady intersection where the military and corporate influence overlap, intersect and inbreed. It's endless narrative fodder for him, and those illicit and corrupt operations not only helped him launch the 'Bourne' series, but sustain its ideas indefinitely. "It's vampiric," he said. "It really is. Absent of global warming, lack of water and basic elements, the development of Nation States outside of our control is I think the greatest issue of our time."
"There's a very large corporate elements [at play in the film], pharmaceutical corporate elements, and all of this is very, very real," Gilroy says suggesting all one needs to do for inspiration is look at their headlines in their newspaper.

Liar. Who are you anyway?
I'll sit and wait while you stand and stay.
Stay all you want, I won't move an inch,
Restrain me with your blistering cinch.
Like a corset I breathe in
To let you hold tight,
Feel the grip of this strait-jacket,
Hold me down the whole night.
I'm not human, it's fine;
I like to be pained,
Mentally restrained,
(And it's part of the fun)
You know that it's true,
Liar. Liar. You can lie til you're blue,
But you'll still be the same,
And I'll still take the blame
For your strained meditations
On love filled with hate.
We both know it's true:
I'm a fool for believing,
And a slave to your rules.
So drum that death march
Pound it in to my head,
I'm my own sordid Liar,
Crush me down til I'm dead.

Testing data released by the College Board Aug. 25 showed that average SAT scores in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools rose slightly in 2009 while national and state scores declined. The district's top performers continued to outscore their state and national peers, scoring 30 points above the nation's high-fliers and 45 points higher than those in North Carolina.
In the combined verbal, math and writing, Butler students averaged 1,553 while Independence students averaged 1,347.
The average score in CMS on the three areas tested – math, critical reading and writing – rose three points to 1492. The state average score was 1486, down three points from a year ago. The national average was 1509, compared to 1511 a year ago.
CMS students in the top-tenth percentile of test-takers scored 1782, up from 1765 a year earlier. Nationally, the average score for the top tenth was 1752, up from 1740 a year ago, and in North Carolina, it was 1737, up from 1722.
"Our top students continue to outpace the state and national averages and we're very pleased by that," said Dr. Peter C. Gorman, superintendent of CMS. "These students are competitive for any college or university in the country."
The district's participation rate, however, declined for the second year in a row, falling below the state participation rate for the first time in several years. The district's rate was 60.6 percent, down from 68.4 percent in 2008. The state participation rate stayed the same for both years at 63 percent. The national participation rate, which rose to 46 percent in 2009 from 45 percent a year earlier, continues to trail both CMS and North Carolina.
"Although we're glad to see our scores rise this year, we have some real concern about the decline in the participation rate," Gorman said. "This test is a gateway test for college and we want to see more of our students taking it, not fewer."
District officials said that no immediate reason was apparent for the decline but that they would work with high school counselors to investigate it. Students essentially self-select for the test, which is not required to graduate but is generally required for college admission.
The College Board also released results for Advanced Placement tests. Advanced Placement classes are accelerated to give high school students familiarity with the level of rigor expected in college studies. Almost half – 49 percent – of CMS students who took an AP exam scored in the proficient range, compared to 59 percent at the state and national levels.
"We are pulling kids into Advanced Placement classes – we're stretching kids academically," said Dr. Chris Cobitz, the district's director of assessment. "That's good for our students, although it tends to hold our average down."
The College Board provides districts with a prediction for students judged ready to take AP courses. The students are chosen by the College Board based on results from the PSAT, a precursor to the SAT given in the junior year of high school. When only students considered ready to take the AP tests are counted, the pass rate in CMS rises to 70 percent, which is the College Board prediction of pass rate.
"That is further evidence that we are stretching our kids to take more rigorous work," Dr. Cobitz said. "By increasing access to these tests, we are setting high expectations for our students."

Understanding the term "key derogatory"
Dear Experian,
What does "KD" mean, and how long does it stay on your record before being deleted?
Categories: Report Advice
Charged off student loans still in credit report after being paid in full
Dear Experian,
I have three student loans from about 12 years ago that where charged off. I paid them off in full two years ago, yet they are still reporting on my credit report. They are being reported as paid in full; however, next to that it lists a loan amount and still shows a balance. The loan amount would be the original amount borrowed, but there must be a mistake since it shows a balance even though it states paid in full. Is this affecting my credit score? Should I get a letter stating paid in full from the lender and send it in to you?

The meaning of "key derogatory" as a credit score factor
Dear Experian,
What does "Key Derogatory" mean?
Impact of a short sale when your mortgage is not delinquent
Dear Experian,
With the declining value of property, sellers are caught in the position of having to short sale on properties for which the sellers are not delinquent. How does a short sale in which a person has never been delinquent report?
Accounts still show payment history and amount past due when sent to collections
Dear Experian,
I have a couple of accounts that were purchased by another lender or collection agency. I have paid them off and they do show closed, but they still show a balance. Is this negative? Should I dispute?
Settled or charged off accounts in your credit report are "potentially negative"
Dear Experian,
If an account is paid off/closed, settled, or charged off, why would it still be showing as potentially negative? Is there any way to get these removed so they no longer affect me negatively?

The Dueling Realities of Chicken in America
Some chickens feast on scraps from Per Se. But most chickens destroy the planet.
Chickens! The animals that provide America's most-eaten meat are both "killing the planet" (per Salon) and feasting on scraps from restaurants like Gramercy Tavern and Per Se in an effort to create tastier birds (per the Times). The former story is all about the evils of industrial chicken production (spoiler: it's pretty evil). The latter is about "an experiment that is bringing together elite chefs, preindustrial farming practices and a breed of French poultry that is rarely found in the United States." The chefs hope to create the "table-to-farm-to-table chicken of the future." (Key quote from Jean-Georges Vongerichten, who was reportedly brought almost to tears when he ate the pampered birds: "When I tasted it, I was like, 'Whoa.'") So, to recap: The terrible truths behind industrial chicken will cause you to weep for Earth's welfare. But the chicken that rich people eat is so delicious it will literally make you cry.

Effective, July 1st, the Atlantic Canada Electronics Stewardship (ACES) program will allow Prince Edward Island residents to drop off unwanted electronics free of charge at six Island Waste Management Corp (IWMC) approved locations.
"With the launch of the program in PEI, ACES members are demonstrating their commitment to responsible recycling practices for electronics," says ACES Board Chair, David Bois of Home Hardware. "Through our collaboration with Island Waste Management Corporation we are providing island residents with a convenient and responsible way to recycle their unwanted electronics and divert them from PEI's landfill."
This industry-led recycling program is funded by an environmental handling fee charged on the sale of new electronic products, regulated under provincial law. The ACES Program was created by the electronics and retail industries to manage the recycling of electronic products that are regulated by government and banned from disposal in landfills. As of July 1, 2010, the province of PEI will regulate all electronics products that are currently part of the ACES program.
"The Government of Prince Edward Island is pleased to work with industry to offer an electronics recycling program that will address the serious environmental issue of electronic waste becoming part of the solid waste stream," said Environment, Energy & Forestry Minister Richard Brown. "This program will help create public awareness that we all share in the responsibility for protecting the environment."
Since inception, the ACES Program had collected more than 6,000 metric tonnes of electronics for recycling. That is the equivalent of loading a 53 foot tractor trailer more than 500 times with regulated electronic products. "ACES remains committed to responsible recycling and the prevention of illegal export of electronics to developing nations by following the Recycling Vendor Qualification Program developed by Electronics Product Stewardship Canada. Our program will ensure that unwanted electronics from PEI are always managed with that commitment in mind," says Bois.
To ensure ease of access and centralized locations throughout the province, ACES is collaborating with Island Waste Management Corporation (IWMC) in PEI. As part of this agreement, Waste Watch Drop-off Centers have been designated as ACES Drop-off locations and will begin accepting regulated materials as of July 1, 2010.
Gerry Moore, IWMC CEO is pleased to see electronics recycling expanded to Prince Edward Island. "This program will further support IWMC's commitment to reduce materials entering landfill and will provide Islanders with convenient access to drop-off locations for recycling," indicates Moore. The Atlantic Canada Electronics Stewardship (ACES) Program is an industry-led, not-for-profit association representing brand owners, manufacturers, retailers and other stakeholders who are committed to collecting and recycling electronic waste in an environmentally responsible manner.
ACES oversees a network of 41 ACES Drop-Off Centres and is a leading provider of environmentally sound and socially responsible management practices for end-of-life electronic products. Its goal is to divert end-of-life electronic products from export or landfill in full compliance with local, provincial and federal requirements.

Local colleges: Cal State San Marcos, Palomar flourish as neighbors
Located just three miles apart in the same city, Cal State University San Marcos and Palomar College have learned to not only co-exist on the athletic fields, but flourish.
The baseball and softball teams at both schools are all headed to postseason play. Following is a look at all four programs:
• Palomar College is 23-10 overall, 20-3 in the PCAC with two regular-season games remaining. Grossmont, which has clinched second place, is four games behind. Offensively, the Comets are led by Chris Sanders (Murrieta Valley), who is hitting .374 with 22 RBIs; Nico Garbella (Cathedral Catholic/UC Santa Barbara), who is hitting .338 and leads the team with 28 RBIs; and Dillan Smith (Temescal Canyon), who is hitting .336. On the mound, Kyle Montiel (Carlsbad) is 7-1 with a 2.69 ERA, Anthony McIver (Rancho Buena Vista/Notre Dame) is 4-1 with a 2.32 ERA and Vaughn Berberet (Fallbrook) is 4-1 with a 1.50 ERA. Closer Zach Wilkins (Scripps Ranch) is 2-0 with nine saves and a 0.90 ERA.
• Cal State San Marcos is 30-9 and ranked No. 11 in the NAIA. The Cougars offensively are led by Kody Sepulveda (Paloma Valley), who is hitting .395 with four homers and 26 RBIs; Tyler Bernard (Valley Center/Palomar College), who is hitting .355; and freshman first baseman Brandon Bentson (Rancho Bernardo), who is hitting .353 with 32 RBIs. Kenny Belzer (Granite Hills/Grossmont College) leads the team with five homers and 37 RBIs. James Dykstra (Rancho Bernardo) is 8-3 with a 2.00 ERA while Steve Messner is 6-1 with a 2.67 ERA.
• Ranked No. 3 in the NAIA, Cal State San Marcos swept Simpson University 4-1 and 9-1 Sunday and stands at 38-8. The Cougars are hitting .334 as a team led by Alex Miller (West Hills), who is hitting .420 with 22 20 doubles and 12 stolen bases. Sarah Quiamboa (Westview) checks in at .398 with 21 RBIs, Kaitlin McGinley (Valhalla) is hitting .390 and is perfect on 33 steal attempts. Olivia Lucatuorto leads the team with 34 RBIs. The team has been successful in 106 of 115 steal attempts. On the mound Corteny Allen is 29-3 with a 0.90 ERA, having thrown 186 of the team's 270 innings.
• Palomar (23-10) has clinched at least a tie for its 31st conference title, finishing the conference season with an 11-4 record. San Diego Mesa, which has not completed its season, can tie the Comets for the title, but Palomar won the season series from Olympians and has the tiebreaker for the PCAC's No. 1 playoff. Palomar is ranked ninth in the state.
Men's swimming
Palomar College's men's 400-yard relay team of Neil Fogel, Wyatt Woodward, Misaki Onoue and Geoff Jameson set a meet record of 3:07.3 at the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference championships. Woodward also captured gold in the 200 backstroke (1:55.25), and Onoue won the 1,650 freestyle (16:28.84). Woodward also set a meet mark in winning the men's 200 individual medley (1:54.16) and won the 200 freestyle (1:43.12). Grossmont (1,018 points) won the meet with Palomar (653) second, followed San Diego Mesa (591) and Southwestern (436).
Women's swimming
Palomar College's Kylie Brown (San Pasqual) won the 100 free (54.35) at the Pacific Coast Athletic Conference championships. Brown also won the 50 butterfly (27.1) and the 200 free (1:56.20). Mesa won the meet with 997 points, followed by Grossmont (783), Palomar (427) and Southwestern (408).
Men's basketball
Assistant coach Josh Dunaj, who helped Jim Saia build the Cal State San Marcos program, has joined the staff at Cal Baptist. CSUSM is taking applications for the position, which will close May 3. The position is full time and eligible for benefits. The Cougars have gone 42-19 in two seasons.

Matt, on 18 November 2012 - 02:48 PM, said:
We have had at least three teams that should have gone all the way. One lost to USL, one collapsed (pre-season top 5, but the new DC was afraid to blitz), and the last one couldn't finish taking a dump properly (pre-season top 10, you saw the rest last year). In the SEC, we get to pull some of the top Texas talent away from Texas and Ou. Yes we have to share some with the rest of the SEC, but we also get access to Louisiana, Mississippi, and other SEC states. I would think that this year shows that we had the talent to complete, just not the coaching. We are already pulling in talent upgrades across the board.
Are we just the dragon slayer or another dragon that has been slumbering? We will know in about 4 years. Maybe sooner.

613 saplings planted in London to commemorate memory of Khojaly genocide victims
London, March 16 (AZERTAC). On the morning of 15 March, members of the Azerbaijani community traveled to a clearing in St. Albans, north of London, to plant the final 13 of 613 saplings. This event was organized by The European Azerbaijan Society (TEAS). Each of these saplings represented one of the men, women and children whose lives were cut short 20 years ago during the massacre in Khojaly, in the Azerbaijani region of Nagorno-Karabakh.
In a solemn ceremony, these living memorials were dedicated to the victims, and a plaque on a stone plinth was unveiled. After planting the final tree, Tale Heydarov, Chairman and Founder, TEAS, commented: "This year, 613 trees are being planted to commemorate the victims of Khojaly on the 20th anniversary of the tragedy. This will be a memorial for the future, and we will return to this site each year. It is important to keep their memory alive." Also present to plant the final saplings were representatives of Azerbaijani student societies in London, including the Chairpersons of the societies at University College, London; the School for Oriental and African Studies (SOAS); The University of Westminster; and Goldsmith's, University of London. This symbolic act formed part of a series of commemorative events organized by TEAS across London, which also included a landmark concert of Azerbaijani and Western classical music at St. John's, Smith Square, attended by around 300 people, and the dedication of a bench in Battersea Park.

Getting Real with ATWT's Réal AndrewsBy Posted: Jul 10, 2003
Soap Opera Weekly: How did this role on ATWT come about?
RÈAL Andrews: [ATWT] was casting a recurring role and my agent had called the executive producer, Chris (Goutman), and told him that I was available, and he seemed excited about that. It evolved from recurring to contract because I wasn't about to move to New York for a recurring [role]. My agent called me and told me about it, but I wasn't interested in doing daytime again and thought I'd check out other things. But when I heard it was As the World Turns, I was like, "That is one show I would come back for!" I was excited and said, "OK, I'd be very happy to do that."Weekly: How are you enjoying ATWT so far?
Andrews I couldn't be happier. I like to work, and Chris and Hogan (Sheffer, head writer) just continue to amaze me. The scripts are awesome, and the cast is awesome. I'm happy as a pig in you-know-what. I'm pretty blessed. It's something I've been praying for for the past several years. I turned it over to God and he once again didn't let me down. Weekly: How are your co-stars? Any funny stories from the set?
Andrews I tell you -- that Don (Hastings, Bob) is talented. I've never seen anybody play a coma like he does (laughs). One day he went to sleep. We had three or four scenes and he lied down in the bed. I was talking to John (James, Rick) and I was like, "Dude, I think he's sleeping for real!" And John was like, "No way." We went over and Don was out.Weekly: What do you think of the serial killer story?
Andrews I can't wait to read the scripts. There are so many twists and turns in this storyline; just when I think one thing is happening, all of a sudden something happens and it clears up that thing and it points the blame in another direction. When you've got the cast members who are playing the story trying to figure out what the hell is going on, you know that's just plain good writing.Weekly: How is Walker different from Taggert?
Andrews Taggert was a pit bull and Walker is more like a black panther. He is very cunning and wise and he just sort of stalks around. He moves in and out without people knowing he's there. He's got that little evil eye and all his senses are aware. There's a lot of levels to Walker, which is better than having that one level that I had for seven years playing Taggart. That will kill you after a while.Weekly: Do you like being all CSI-like on ATWT?
Andrews Yeah. I want to be doing all that cool stuff. CSI, Forensic Files, Crossing Jordan -- those are my favorite shows. My wife is so jealous and said, "I'm going to have to live vicariously through you." We love that stuff. We were watching the original In the Heat of the Night the other day and they were putting their fingerprints all over and touching the blood. She's like, "Oh, my God, look, he's touching. He can't do that." But of course back then they didn't have the technology that we do now. To me it's fascinating what they can do and how they solve crimes.Weekly: But it's not all work for Walker. He and Bonnie seem to have a connection. Are there sparks there?
Andrews Have you seen her? And you have to ask if there are sparks (laughs)? She's quite a beautiful woman. But she's in love with somebody else right now, so Walker has to respect that...but in the back of his mind I'm sure he's fantasizing about some scenarios.For more on Réal...

I see there are a bunch of parks all along there - are any of them good places to load up on (clean) water? (mostly interested in the part from about Montebello to Seal Beach)
Plan B is to find a 7-11 on PCH before I ride back.
I see there are a bunch of parks all along there - are any of them good places to load up on (clean) water? (mostly interested in the part from about Montebello to Seal Beach)
Plan B is to find a 7-11 on PCH before I ride back.
They are ALL good places to refill water bottles, and use the restrooms.
OK, I'll have to give it a whirl... I just didn't want to pedal aimlessly around looking for a fountain.
When you have questions on where can you pedal, park or piddle, check TrailLink.com. It's a national database of bike trails.
If a proper trail survey has been done (all volunteer), the map will show all the trailheads, parking, restrooms and water.
Here is the TL page for Coyote Creek - an interesting trail.
You may want to start down at the beach (See the SGRT page) or up at Frontier Park, about a block east of the upper end of the trail. As the sea breeze builds in the late morning and afternoon, heading down early and up later can be a Good Career Move.
Dregerclock has a YouTube video of the ride. The Trike Squadron did a loop - up the CCT, x lots to the Whittier Greenway, over to the LARIO and down that to the harbor and over.
I found Cerritos Regional Park, about midway, a nice place to stop. Water is by the tennis courts.
I usually refill and get ice at Seal Beach, but if i don't i use the water from the park fountains. All the water seems to be OK.
Well, made it from Whittier all the way down SGRT on less than one bottle of water, so I chugged it and refilled from the handy little fountain right there at the beach where the trail dead ends. Thanks for the Cerritos park tip, when it gets hotter that will probably be a great spot to rewater.
I rode back on Coyote Creek... unfortunately, it's not really clear where to cross over from the east side to the west (going north), and the west was beautifully paved. The east side was a challenge to my fillings.
There's a battered sign just north of Lincoln (where the ramp from Lincoln onto the northbound trail is) that tells you to cross over to the west side. Personally, I find north of Alondra or so on CCT is creepy.
That which does not kill me has made a massive tactical blunder.
Too often I would hear men boast of the miles covered that day, rarely of what they had seen. Louis L'Amour
'07 Giant Cypress WSD "Radagast the Beige-and-Black" * '97 (?) Bianchi Premio "Orion" * '09 Trek Allant "The Black Pearl"
As for places to water-up, any of the parks along the way are good. On CCT there's Cerritos Regional Park (at Del Amo), and on SGRT there's many options including: El Dorado Park Area III, Rynerson Park (Del Amo), and Liberty Park (South St.)

No Guarantees On Minimum Wage Fix
Tomblin says special session will address issues
April 3, 2014
WHEELING — West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's has promised to call the Legislature into special session to fix problems with the minimum wage bill he signed into law Tuesday....
Hot Air:
Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) may retire at the end of this session, but he wants Americans to learn one lesson from his exit after twelve terms in the House of Representatives. His colleagues aren't getting paid enough for their efforts.
Perhaps Moran thinks that Congress over-performs for their compensation. Well, good luck making that case. The base salary of $174,000 is three and a half times the average median household income in the US. Congress hasn't had a raise since 2010; median household income has declined since that time. For that salary (and we haven't even begun to consider the cushy benefits of Congress members), the taxpayers that pay those bills rate Congressional performance at 13/79, according to RCP's latest poll average. It was 22/71 in 2010, the last time Congress got a raise; why should they get another when their performance reviews are dropping rather than improving?

Here is my take. What hasn't been said is that for the small business owners having to pay a payroll tax!!!!!!!! so they raise the pay scale, not only do the workers get more money from the employer but the GOVERNMENT MAKES MORE IN THE TAX EMPLOYERS HAVE TO PAY!!!!!!!!!! We as small employers can't keep footing the bill for everything while government and big business get all the tax breaks loopholes and extra money, meaning we have to raise our pricing to the consumers, which is ME also an owner and a consumer.
Sorry to say but the fast food chains and lower pay scale jobs are just that they are not intended to be career jobs, there for students, part timers, extra income, first timers. If they want to make more money then unfortunately they need to continue to seek higher paying skilled jobs.
I understand fully that people fall on hard times and need these jobs!!!! Understand no way am I dissing the field, or people that work there !!! Its a LOWER PAYING JOB

If politicians had to live on a wage of 35000 a year for their family they would learn that money does not come in automatically and you cannot raise your pay to meet the demand. It is time to cut the fat and have a layoff in nepotism government job to get the work done right.

When a city give city managers big pay raises the little worker deserves a raise too. Government thinks they are a private industry and are making money. The taxpayer is broke and they want budgets, wages, taxes and jobs cut and the wasteful spending in the government sector. Who passes a flawed law? These are the ones getting overpaid for doing a bad job and keep having special session raising their pay.. Time to cut legislatures pay to balance the budget.

WOW! How our community has forgotten what emergency services have done for our community,our country. The Wheeling fire department and Wheeling police department are class acts. This article is about what POLITICIANS have screwed up and some people are attacking these people who are there to SAVE YOUR LIFE. They didn't vote this bill through. I laugh at some of the comments. There are no firemen or policemen making anywhere near 100K a year.Wages The schedule takes firemen away from their families 24 hours at a time plus call out when there are larger incidents. Their lives are in JEOPARDY everytime they go out on a call which is I believe over 6000 times a year. The same goes for the police in this and every city. I don't know all the in's and out's but I know they are in more danger every month than most are in a lifetime. These same people whine about the firemen and police but are willing to pay $200 a tix for a NFL,NHL or concert ticket. Amazing priorities. You should be ashamed!

Getaclue I don't give a $%^& not all cities are the same and they sure aren't all like Wheeling..LOL.
The fact is it's not a standard schedule job so that's why they don't get standard OT. It's one of the sweetest deals in the entire work world because yes you can hold two jobs very easily.
I understand why city leaders would be upset cities can't afford to pay all that OT AND have a decent sized force.
Only in Wheeling though people think the money never runs out for city employees LOL.

Many firefighters are very happy with the current situation because their work schedules essentially permit them to hold other jobs too.
If the pay weren't adequate, they would be having trouble recruiting them and I do not see that being the case. People are lining up to get those positions.

Dyingov a firefighter does not work 9-5 bankers hours their schedule is unique in that they essentially live at the firehouse for an entire day and then have a couple of days off.
It's one of the best deals at any job period so most firefighters aren't complaining they're not getting OT for those extra 8 hours or what not. They have it made most people would kill for that sort of a shift.

What does the amount someone makes have anything to do with getting paid overtime? If you are scheduled/paid for 40 hours and you work 45 you should be paid 1.5x for the "extra" 5 no matter your pay rate!
