Rudeloff says that his book, titled The Kaleidoscope I Call My Life, is the story of the highlights of his life – a story that is always colorful, sometimes with beautiful colors and sometimes not so beautiful.
He was born Feb. 7, 1924, in Seguin. Two years later, the family moved to Tynan, and at the age of 12, after he had learned to speak a foreign language (English), the family moved to Beeville, where he graduated from A.C. Jones High School with the class of 1941. Soon thereafter, he says, "I received an offer from the Bee County Selective Service Board." (Incidentally, its chairman was Reginald West Sr., whose daughter, Martha, he was to marry 62 years later).
"Anyway," he says, "I was drafted into the Army Air Force and was trained to be a meteorologist (weatherman)." Rudeloff says he was sent to China, where he was made a member of a six-man OSS team under the command of Capt. John Birch – the John Birch who was later killed by the Chinese Communists. In China, Rudeloff says they set up their weather station, deep within the territory occupied by the Japanese. He states they hid from the Japanese by living in a small, squalid Chinese village.
After the war ended, Rudeloff states, he returned home and went to Texas A&M and the University of Texas at Austin and got a degree from each. He practiced law in Beeville and the surrounding counties for 50 years. Sixteen of those years, he relates, he was county attorney for Bee County.
Because the U.S. government had sent him to the Orient for three years, Rudeloff states he had a yearning for those "distant places with names you cannot pronounce" and got hooked on seeing the world. During the following years, he visited those faraway places with strange-sounding names, including a 96-day solo trip around the world, stopping and visiting 42 selected places. "I wrote in detail about my adventures in each of these places," he says.
"In 1990," Rudeloff states, "I taught American Jurisprudence (upon invitation) at the University of Kazakh in the state of Kazakhstan in the former USSR." He was placed on the university's staff and paid the same as their professors, he says.
Rudeloff says he now spends his time writing about his adventures, taking them or planning them.
The book signing and sale will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For several years, courts around the country — particularly in the Midwest — have been addressing what has been referred to as the "popcorn lung" litigation. These cases, brought by workers in factories that manufacture microwave popcorn, allege that exposure to diacetyl (a chemical in the artificial buttering used in the manufacture of microwave popcorn) has caused the workers to suffer from various respiratory diseases.
More recently, however, individual consumers have sought to get in on the action by claiming that they too are suffering from the same respiratory ailments, including Bronchiolitis obliterans (commonly referred to as "popcorn lung"), that the factory workers who manufacture the microwave popcorn have been complaining about. On July 2, Judge Rosanna Malouf Peterson of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Washington issued an opinion that may assist in slowing down these consumer cases by requiring that the plaintiffs present expert evidence on causation to show that they could be, and actually were, exposed to sufficient levels of diacetyl to cause their complained of injuries. This opinion not only provides useful ammunition for companies defending against consumer plaintiff claims of "popcorn lung," but it also highlights the potential benefits of aggressively attacking flimsy expert evidence that is not adequately supported.
In 2007, Wayne Watson was the first consumer to be diagnosed with potential "popcorn lung." Watson, who claims to have eaten two bags of microwave popcorn per day for a decade or more, appeared on NBC's Today show in September 2007 and was the first consumer to bring a tort claim against the manufacturers of diacetyl. The physician who diagnosed Watson, Dr. Cecile Rose, acknowledged that she could not definitively establish the link between Watson's consumption of microwave popcorn and his respiratory disease. Watson settled his claim, but the press surrounding his case spawned a number of other claims by consumers around the country who claim to be suffering from "popcorn lung" after eating high amounts of microwave popcorn on a daily basis over the course of a number of years.
In Newkirk v. ConAgra Foods, Inc., No. 2:08-cv-00273 (E.D. Wash), Judge Peterson granted ConAgra's Daubert and subsequent summary judgment motions based on the insufficiency of plaintiff's expert testimony regarding causation. In Newkirk, the plaintiff sought to establish general causation through the testimony of Dr. Egilman, who opined that there was "no known safe level of diacetyl exposure" and that exposure to diacetyl vapors emanating from a microwave when popcorn was cooked was sufficient to cause the respiratory ailments plaintiff was suffering from. Dr. Egilman relied on studies conducted in cases of popcorn factory workers to support his conclusions. However, the court found that Dr. Egilman did not have a sufficient scientific bases to support his conclusion that there was no medically relevant difference between the level of vapor emitted from a mixing vat in a popcorn plant and a microwave in a consumer's kitchen. The court held that Dr. Egilman's conclusions went far beyond the conclusions reached in the various scientific studies he relied on, and that he manipulated the data to reach misleading conclusions in support of his theory.
Additionally, Dr. Egilman sought to make "legal conclusions" based on his expert report. For example, Dr. Egilman opined that ConAgra "knew" of the danger to consumers relating to diacetyl exposure and "failed to warn" consumers of such dangers. Not surprisingly, the court excluded these legal opinions as going beyond the scope of expert testimony and encroaching on the duties reserved to the court and jury. With plaintiff's general causation expert excluded, plaintiff was unable to withstand ConAgra's motion for summary judgment, and therefore, the case was dismissed.

Any TSP 454 LSx will use a 4.185" bore piston set, unless otherwise noted. Custom builds are available. We offer multiple brands of connecting rods and crankshafts to suit any type of application. Every engine will come standard with the necessary oil and coolant plugs already installed in the block. We do offer an optional conversion package that will include the LS2 timing cover with camshaft position sensor, LS2 valley cover, LS2 lifter trays, LS2-specific timing set, and plug-n-play harness extensions for the camshaft position and knock sensor harnesses. This will be required if you are installing the engine into an LS1 vehicle. Feel free to give us a call, and we will be more than happy to put an itemized estimate together for you! We also offer additional discounts if you pay via a cashier's check or wire transfer. All engines will ship via truck freight, so if are purchasing online the shipping costs listed will NOT be correct! We will contact you with a shipping cost after your order has been placed. All prices listed do not include the applicable shipping costs!
All Wiseco pistons will use a 1.2mm/1.2mm/3.0mm ring pack with a steel top ring and Napier second ring. This will be the standard ring pack used with any of our Wiseco exclusive piston sets, and this ring pack will also be offered with any Wiseco off-the-shelf piston set. We do build many engines to keep in stock, and we do our best to offer a variety to suit everyone's wants/needs. With that said, not all engines will be in stock. The average build time will normally take three to four weeks once all parts are at the machine shop. This is only an estimate since circumstances and wait times will vary. Please give us a call for an accurate, up-to-date time quote.
For any nitrous setup exceeding a 150HP shot or any boosted application exceeding 10 psi, we recommend a steel top ring set. The steel top ring will handle the added heat of the nitrous and boosted applications much better than a plasma moly top ring set. All of our engines with Wiseco pistons will use a Napier second ring for maximum oil control. This is just another step that we take with all TSP short-blocks to ensure you get the best quality possible!
We do offer an upgrade to 1/2" head studs. The price listed for the 1/2" head stud upgrade will include the cost of the ARP hardware, as well as the necessary machine work. You MUST select a set of PRC aftermarket casting cylinder heads for this upgrade! All of the PRC aftermarket casting cylinder heads already have the larger bolt holes to accommodate 1/2" head studs. The GM castings will not have the larger bolt holes, which would require additional machining. So, please make your cylinder head selection accordingly if you plan to upgrade to 1/2" head studs.
When selecting your crankshaft, you will see options for a long-snout dry-sump crankshaft for factory GM dry-sump oiling. This is what you will need if the engine is being installed in a 2006+ Corvette Z06, Grand Sport, or ZR1. When you select a dry-sump crankshaft, we will automatically make the appropriate changes to the remainder of your engine build. A dry-sump crankshaft does NOT have a provision for an oil dipstick tube, so the dipstick hole on the LSx block will need to be plugged for these applications. We do offer the oil dipstick plug if you need one.
The GMPP LSx block will offer maximum clamping force of the cylinder heads to the block when combined with any of the aftermarket 6-bolt cylinder heads. We do not recommend the 4.125" stroke crankshaft or 4.185" bore size for extreme shots of nitrous or large amounts of boost. For extreme applications, we recommend using a 4.00" stroke crankshaft to allow for better pin placement and a thicker crown on the pistons. For the 454 C.I.D. LSx, we recommending limiting nitrous use to no more than a 150 HP shot. We also offer an expedite service to be able to have your engine built and ready to ship in as little as five business days! The build time will vary according to parts availability. Give us a call for more information!
All TSP engines will include 12 quarts (16 quarts for dry-sump) of Joe Gibbs break-in oil for no additional cost. Proper break-in oil and procedures for your engine are just as important as the build process! The Joe Gibbs break-in oil allows for proper ring sealing against the cylinder walls upon start-up, as well as for the break-in period once the engine is up and running. Most off-the-shelf engine oils do not have the necessary ZDDP additives to allow for proper break-in of a new engine, and we want to take every precaution possible to ensure that your new TSP engine receives a proper break-in!

A-2 Faculty Advisory Committee on Budgets
Faculty Members: Gerard Béhague, Linda Carpenter, Patrick Davis, Clinton Dawson, Diana DiNitto, Marvin Hackert (chair), Daniel Hamermesh, Steven Kachelmeier, Kerry Kinney, Dean Neikirk, Bruce Palka, Linda Reichl, Chandler Stolp, Madeline Sutherland-Meier (vice chair), Gerald Torres.
Administration Representatives: Sheldon Ekland-Olson (provost), Stephen Monti, William Lasher, Kevin Hegarty, Mary Knight, Gail Spillar, Maria Cruz.
The faculty members of the committee initially met to elect a vice chair and to discuss priorities for the coming year. Madeline Sutherland-Meier was elected as vice chair. Chair Marvin Hackert, then presented an overall view of the budget and the budget process using notes from Kevin Hegarty's remarks presented at the fall 2002 leadership conference. This was followed by a discussion of the annual report from last year's committee. A solicitation of faculty concerns and questions yielded:
Source of budget/what is "other unidentified" funds listed in the budget;
implications of using the flat tuition;
prospects for 100% return of indirect costs and impact on budget;
review of question concerning cap on summer salary for teaching;
request to hear a status report from Efficiency Task Force.
Henceforth, the committee met with Provost Sheldon Ekland-Olson and/or other members of the administration. The second meeting included an overall assessment of the budget and the role of the committee by Provost Sheldon Ekland-Olson. He emphasized our help to set priorities to identify those areas or targeted programs that should be considered for extra support. This was followed by a presentation by Kevin Hegarty, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, on a summary of budget and cost-cutting measures either implemented or under consideration.
The essential operating budget of The University of Texas at Austin was broken down into three operational subgroups:
Space. Space was described as "institutional currency" – at a going average rate of about ~$285 / sq. ft. Some research labs are much higher than this average. Future topics for consideration included setting reasonable standards for office space, lecture halls, etc., and looking at more efficient use of space and how space is allocated and scheduled.
Goods and Services. Most of the savings identified by the Efficiency Task Force came from examining this area. A Campus Supply Gateway was presented involving a major office supplier like Office Depot and a highly underutilized business (HUB) working together to deliver ~ 50% discount relative to manufacturers suggested retail price (MSRP) on most common office goods. This could lead to ~$2.5 million in savings through the realization of better prices and smaller inventories to store and manage. Additional savings were proposed from a use fee for paying by credit card (potential savings ~$1.8 million) with the option of using a debit card at no cost. Other ideas presented included consolidating express mail business, print management to cut printing costs, and fleet management in the form of a University Motor Pool.
Faculty and Support Staff. The University is committed to reducing the student/faculty ratio and is planning to go forward with its plans to enlarge the size of the faculty.
Since this was a legislative year, the discussion of budget related items was very dependent on how the University would fare in the current legislative session. The committee was invited to attend two meetings of the University Leadership Council (ULC) to hear briefings on budget related matters. It was obvious from these briefings that due to the State's reduced financial revenues, the University will be facing a severe budget crisis involving both a one-time return of allocation and the expectation of recurring budget reductions. Without the prospect of increased state revenues, the best prospects for additional revenues are two proposals being considered in the 78th Legislature – 100% return of indirect costs and tuition deregulation. However, in the short term the University faces the likely probability of staff layoffs, reduced summer teaching program, no merit increases in the fall, and curtailed faculty recruitment. The committee met more informally with the provost in February to discuss the "follow-on" issues relating to the previous budget discussions. Provost Ekland-Olson opened the meeting by summarizing the current budget situation and the numbers they had given to the deans for recurring budget reductions. This was followed by a discussion of the process of how the cuts were being delegated (deans/chairs vs. central administration). The discussion also included the best ways for ideas for additional cost savings to be forwarded to the administration. It was concluded that there was a need for comparative information from other institutions to better appreciate our budget situation and to consider other solutions. The Office of Institutional Studies may be a source of such information and the idea of developing a "data warehouse" for easy future reference relating to such issues was presented.
In addition to the discussions held by the committee, the following ideas came from the joint meeting of Texas A&M University (TAMU) Faculty Senate and UT Faculty Council meeting that considered the topic: Striving for Excellence during Frugal Times:
1. Greater institutional synergy between UT and TAMU on the level of individual programs.
Institutional mechanisms for increasing number of joint UT and TAMU research projects.
Better facilitation of UT/TAMU interactions — Role of VPs for research in this effort.
2. Improving hours of registration per semester (flat rate plan).
Strive towards full-year operation (trimester).
3. Seek reduction of state educational requirements in state history and government. 4. Pool benefits to a greater extent to benefit from larger scale (combine UT and TAMU). 5. Savings of maintenance and operation for telephone, duplicating services, supplies, etc.
Other: Different ways of increasing revenue — new or increased fees; distance learning initiatives; explore ways athletics can shoulder some of the load; program consolidation; retirement incentives; incentives for increased teaching loads of senior faculty less involved in research.
As a post mortem on these discussions, the following is a summary of key actions taken by the University and the 78th Legislature that impact the budget. New legislation covers a broad array of issues from tuition deregulation and allowing institutions to retain 100% of the indirect cost reimbursements for research, to providing zero-interest loans to students who maintain a B average and graduate from college within four years.
78th Legislative Actions
Tuition deregulation — (see below).
100% indirect costs return ~ $39 million over biennium to UT Austin.
50% reduction of medical benefits to part-time employees (impacts all graduate students plus numerous other faculty and staff part-time employees).
Increases from three to ten years the length of minimum UT service needed by staff and faculty to be eligible to receive state paid insurance premium sharing during retirement if they do not meet the "Rule of 80."
90-day delay in health insurance for new employees.
Actions taken by UT Austin Administration
March 2003 – "Supplies Gateway" with Office Depot expected to save $2.5 million.
April 2003 – 1.75% convenience charge on credit/debit card payments for tuition and mandatory fees; estimated savings of $2 million.
No raise or merit pool for fall 2003 — estimated savings of $15 million.
Delay in faculty hiring — concern about high student/faculty ratio
Deferred maintenance on infrastructure.
Staff layoffs — working estimate of 300-350 positions. May/June – $16,000 retirement incentive offered to 487 staff eligible for retirement by end of August (77 staff had elected this option as of the June 5 report in The Daily Texan).
House Bill 3015 — Tuition Deregulation (*taken from a summary by Patricia K. Hicks, coordinating board liaison to the Council of Public University Presidents and Chancellors).
*Provides that a governing board may charge any student an amount designated as tuition that the governing board considers necessary for the effective operation of the institution in addition to amounts that an institution is authorized to charge as tuition under other provisions of the Education Code.
*Allows a governing board to set a different tuition rate for each program and course level offered by each institution of higher education and to set a different tuition rate as the board considers appropriate to increase graduation rates, encourage efficient use of facilities, or enhance employee performance.
*Expresses legislative intent that each institution of higher education shall make satisfactory progress towards the goals of Closing the Gaps and that each institution shall meet acceptable performance criteria, including measures such as graduation rates, retention rates, enrollment growth, educational quality, minority participation, financial aid, and affordability.
*Provides for a twelve member Legislative Oversight Committee on Tuition Deregulation (six senators, six representatives) to make recommendation for any legislative action necessary to meet the criteria listed above and any other criteria to improve higher education affordability and access.
*Requires the governing board to set aside not less than 20% of any amount of tuition charged to a resident undergraduate student in excess of $46 per semester credit hour to be used for financial aid for undergraduate students.
*Requires the governing board to set aside 15% of any amount of tuition charged to a resident student enrolled in a graduate or professional degree program in excess of $46 per semester credit hour for use in providing financial aid for such students.
*The bill authorizes changes in tuition to be made beginning with the fall 2003 semester. However, the bill did not receive the two-thirds vote necessary to make it effective immediately, so it doesn't become effective until September 1. As a practical matter, the institutions will not be able to increase tuition until spring 2004.
Marvin L. Hackert, chair

Visit Young Lesbians Portal
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
With all the advances in technology it seems only fitting that some brilliant scientist has created a contraption that provides humankind with a portal through which they can find an endless succession of gal-on-gal action. Alright, that's just a bucket of BS, there aren't really any Star Trek-like sex portals out there (yet), but there is an actual Young Lesbians Portal where fans of female heavy petting can get their kicks.
The YoungLesbiansPortal is a gateway to some clean, clear imagery that brings rich colors to all the dildo play, clit humming and hot make-out sessions. There are 16 videos of very well-produced footage. The flicks can be streamed in an embedded player and downloaded as MP4s and Windows Media files. You can expect to get good-quality playback from the MP4 downloads for the most part, but there are some with better bit rates.
Some of these female-on-female fuck fests go on for as long as 30 minutes. For those of you who feel that no slam session is a proper one without a cumshot to cap the event, check out Sonya and Alla's bathtub scene for an improvised "happy ending." Don't forget to save your favorites or leave comments for others.
For the time being, the 55 picture sets is where the bulk of the content is at. The pics look good and you can download them in Zip files. These nubile lesbos get their dues and should have no trouble finding work elsewhere with these snaps in their portfolios.
The website is part of the 1 Pass For All Sites network and you get access to a number of additional sites. There's Tricky Old Teacher, Spoiled Virgins, 18 Virgin Sex, Dirty Ass 2 Mouth and more than 20 others. Given that it's been a long time since any new lesbian content was added (even though some of it appears to date from 2013), there's a good chance that you'll spend a lot of time visiting these sites.
There's some hot content on Young Lesbians Portal, but there isn't really enough to last you even a month. With that in mind, you might be better off going elsewhere to get your fill of girl-on-girl action.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Dying Too Young: Trends show poverty plays a role, many deaths are preventable
Here are some trends found in a review of child deaths in Oklahoma: * Poverty often plays a role. "If they died from a car wreck ... a drowning, intentional abuse or sudden illness ... a commonality that you see more times than not is that this family is poor," said Annette Wisk Jacobi, a state Health Department official who has served for years on the state Child Death Review Board. "A lot of the time we're looking at children left alone or left with a child not old enough to care for everyone else or ... left with somebody who is not a very good care provider. ... As the economy kind of goes south, we're going to see more of this." In many child murder cases, the killer is unemployed or financially stressed from reasons such as divorce, court records show. One out-of-work defendant awaiting trial admitted to police he became frustrated caring for his two stepchildren and infant son in a motel room day after day while his wife worked. He said he slapped, threw, kicked and stomped his 2-year-old stepdaughter Liliana because she wouldn't eat her lunch. * The number of child deaths in Oklahoma each year dropped from more than 1,000 in the early 1980s to fewer than 800 in recent years. * Almost 100 children have been homicide victims since the start of 2006, according to the state medical examiner. But those statistics can be misleading. A drowning death caused by neglect was listed by the medical examiner as manner unknown. And a smoke inhalation death — where the batteries for the smoke alarms had been used for toys — was considered an accident. Many deaths are considered to be from natural causes. * Some deaths from possible abuse or neglect go unpunished. No arrests were made in 17 of 47 child homicides studied in 2007 by the Child Death Review Board, according to its latest report. Prosecutors have told the board they sometimes can't identify a perpetrator because too many people were around a child around the time of an injury. * Dozens of deaths could have been prevented, especially those caused by parents and infants sleeping together. In case after case, an autopsy found a baby died after a sleeping parent rolled over on him or her. Alcohol or drugs are sometimes involved. In one such death, a mother admitted drinking 20 beers in an evening before placing her 2-month-old girl Trinity on a pallet on the floor next to her at 2 to 3 in the morning. The mother is charged with second-degree manslaughter. * State officials lack funds to fully fight the problem. At the Health Department, about 150 fewer nurses are available to visit poor first-time mothers in their homes and teach them skills because of budget cuts. At its peak early this decade, more than 3,700 women signed up over a year for services from the Children First program. Last fiscal year, only about 2,500 new mothers enrolled in the program. The Oklahoma Department of Human Services volunteered last year to help pay for a public awareness campaign called Think Prevent Live but came up with funds to produce commercials on only three of five issues so far. It would take another $24,000 or so to complete the project. Oklahoma broadcasters air the commercials for free. * Traffic accidents kill a lot of children. Often the child is not strapped in the vehicle. In its latest annual report, the Oklahoma Child Death Review Board wrote, "From the board's inception, motor vehicle related fatalities have consistently been the leading cause of death" in cases it studied extensively. The board reported that in 2007 it reviewed the circumstances behind 68 deaths of children who were riding in a car, van, pickup or sport utility vehicle. The board found most — 41 — were unrestrained.

Aided by lower interest rates by banks, auto companies have lined up a bevy of attractive offers inducing customers to loosen their purse strings during the ongoing festive season, which began with the Navratras on October 5 and will peak with Diwali in early November.
Still car makers like Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors and Hyundai remain extremely cautious about predicting any strong boost to sales after the prolonged slump this year. They are expecting only a 10-15% jump in volumes over other months of this fiscal, compared with the 20-30% rise normally seen in the festive months of a good year.
Mayank Pareek, COO, marketing & sales at Maruti Suzuki, said, After such a bad period of the last seven-eight months, there are some signs of improvement. Bookings are increasing, but we still need to keep our fingers crossed. At this time of the year, everybody stocks up completely. Maruti has a 40% share of the 27-lakh-unit domestic passenger vehicle market.
We expect volumes to be about the same as last year, maybe a 3-5% growth over the same period in FY13, another Maruti official added.
Nalin Kapoor, group head for marketing at Hyundai Motor India, confirmed, There is definitely some improvement as compared to other months. But as compared to last year it is subdued. Some clarity will emerge after the Navratras.
I do not think car makers expect much to happen this festive season. Firstly there are not too many launches, and also the market is not going up on an overall basis, said Kumar Kandaswami, senior director of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India. Usually festive months see multiple launches, but this year Hyundai Grand i10, Skoda Octavia and the Nissan Terrano are the only cars to debut in the period.
However, successful new launches of the past few months, like the Honda Amaze and the Ford EcoSport, have left some companies more hopeful. We have a very good feeling. Every month our contracts for the Amaze is increasing as customers spread good word about the brand, Jnaneswar Sen, senior VP, marketing & sales at Honda Cars India, said.
Two-wheeler makers, however, are far more enthusiastic of strong performance with rural demand rising after the strong monsoons. We are hugely optimistic of this festive season. So far the going has been great, said Pawan Munjal, MD & CEO, Hero MotoCorp. Two-wheeler market leader Hero is launching 10 face-lifted versions of its models for

Tonight on the Kitchen Sink, it's the beginning of birthday month. Tonight in the first hour we'll celebrate the birthdays of Art Neville aka Poppa Funk and Henry Roland Byrd aka Professor Longhair. Then in the second hour, nothing but the Piano Prince, the Bayou Maharajah, the Black Chopin, the Black Liberace, Mr. Gonzo himself, Lil Booker - JAMES BOOKER!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you tell I'm excited?
This last piece from Booker is hauntingly like Sun Ra and a slowed down version Colin Nancarrow. Or maybe it is just the classic Booker sound and I missed it because I didn't live here when Booker was making his magic.
How could such a piece of music go unreleased?
Can't wait till Wednesday night!
I mean Thursday morning!!!

LEXINGTON, Ky. ?? The No. 3 ranked Alabama Gymnastics team posted its third consecutive 196-plus score to defeat Kentucky here in Memorial Coliseum tonight, downing the Cats 196.300-193.250.
"I thought we were very consistent tonight, very solid," Alabama head coach Sarah Patterson said. "Our team quote before the meet had a lot to do with meeting challenges and we certainly did that. It was a total team effort out there. Kayla Hoffman could not go in all-around for the first time this season. She has been sick since Wednesday and we felt it best to hold her out. Brittany Magee stung her ankle and took her out of the balance beam lineup where Ashley O'Neal and Morgan Dennis stepped in. It was nice to see people step in at the last moment and do a nice job."
Alabama now goes to 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the Southeastern Conference while Kentucky falls to 1-2 and 1-1.
Dennis, a sophomore, won the all-around with a 39.425 while sophomore Kassi Price was second at 39.175. Dennis also tied for first on the floor exercise with Kentucky's Heather Hite. Hoffman, a freshman, won her third straight vault title while junior Terin Humphrey won the uneven bars and sophomore Ricki Lebegern took top honors the balance beam.
"I thought Morgan had a great night in the all-around," Patterson said. "I think she got some confidence after her performance on the balance beam. Ricki is another one who gained a great amount of confidence tonight after starting us off with a 9.9 on the vault. That's the kind of performance we need going into next week's Georgia meet. Kaitlin White and Morgan both upgraded their floor routines this week in preparation for next week."
With the Kentucky meet in the books, the "Countdown to a Showdown" begins as Alabama returns home to face its arch-rival, the three-time defending NCAA Champion Georgia Bulldogs, Friday, Feb. 1. Tickets are on sale through the Alabama Ticket Office (205.348.2262) located in the lobby of Coleman Coliseum and online at RollTide.com.
For the second straight week, Alabama closed out the night with a solid balance beam set, scoring a 49.000 behind Lebegern's 9.875 and Dennis' 9.85. O'Neal scored a 9.775 and Price and sophomore Amanda Montgomery both scored 9.75. Kentucky finished up the night on the floor exercise with a 49.100.
Humphrey, who has been struggling with a sore back, returned to the uneven bars lineup, leading the Tide to a 49.225 team score with a meet best 9.9. Price scored a 9.875, Hoffman a 9.85 and Dennis went 9.825. Kentucky started the night off with a 48.475 vault score.
On the vault, Alabama posted a season-best 49.125 after scoring matching 48.975s in the first two meets of the year. Lebegern got Alabama off to a strong start, scoring a 9.9. Hoffman posted the Tide's top vault score of the night, posting a season-best 9.925, while Dennis scored a 9.85. The Cats posted a 48.5 on the uneven bars.
Dennis led the Tide to a 48.950 team score on the floor exercise, matching her season-best with a 9.9 in the anchor spot. Price and Lebegern scored 9.825 while White came away with a 9.775. Kentucky posted a 47.35 on the balance beam.
Patterson used the meet to shuffle her lineup a bit. O'Neal competed in the balance beam and vault lineup for the first time this season while Dennis, after going exhibition on the beam the first two meets of the season, went in the competitive lineup tonight. Freshman Megan Mashburn made her first appearance Crimson Tide appearance with an exhibition vault.
"I told the ladies tonight anybody can get excited about competing at home in front of a packed arena," Patterson said. "But it's paying attention to the day-to-day tasks and continuing to improve as team that builds a championship team in the end.

Syndicated columnist Susan Estrich recently pondered about why so many women admit to not liking Michelle Obama. Mind you, many of these referenced women are Democrats, so party politics don't seem to be a significant factor. Estrich asserts that race may play a role but not a major one, because these same women like her husband, our president.
I'm not surprised. In fact I'm glad that the cat's out of the bag. While we've made tremendous progress, sexism is alive and thriving in America. It's particularly painful when the discrimination -- unconscious or conscious -- comes from women. Some of us get stuck in that competitive mode of middle school development, comparing ourselves to others and judging them (and of course, ourselves) for a host of insignificant factors. It's such a waste of our energy to disparage and criticize others, yet the dynamics of women's relationships often have these elements that end up pitting us against one another.
I've heard so many fabulous women express being afraid to claim their smarts and talents because of fear of being deemed "uppity" or "conceited." How often do we fear someone else thinking "she thinks she's so much better than me/us," and use that fear to hold ourselves back? I certainly know I have. I also know the opposite -- those ways that my women friends (and clients in my psychotherapy practice) have helped me hold fortitude to not capitulate to these kinds of worries. Their encouraging words have assisted me in countering the internalized intimidations. Instead, I take a deep breath and speak my mind, then graciously practice saying "thank you" when I receive a compliment.
It hasn't always been that way, for sure not. I remember a number of years ago when I was honored by Philadelphia magazine by being named a "Top Doc for Women." Uncomfortable with being singled out amongst an excellent group of colleagues, I downplayed the honor so much so that, when a young female client sat across from me excited by her therapist being selected for this short list, I found myself pushing my hands toward her, actively dismissing its value. It wasn't until I noticed her face holding my gaze, continuing to express her excitement that I thought, "Stop, claim this, let it be a fun thing...she sees it that way and the message you are giving her is 'dismiss your accomplishments, don't make a big deal out of those opportunities to take the limelight.'" I don't know if she knows it to this day, but that young woman, who deeply struggled with her own self-worth, greatly helped me break out of the bounds of my own internalized sexism -- those ways that I had accommodated to the messages from the culture to act demur and reluctant to feel proud of myself and voice it.
If sexism has us putting other women down, just because, then the anti-sexist act would be to support and encourage other women, just because. Because that's how we get healthier, stronger, more productive...and let's face it, when that happens, everyone benefits. For more, click on http://janeshure.com/blog

Now that we've talked about who looked good, it's time to talk about who looked less than good at the 2014 Critic's Choice Movie Awards. There were a lot of interesting choices, but unfortunately, "interesting" does not always translate into "good." Scroll down for the not-so-awesome.
So, Elisabeth Rohm. Her hair and makeup are flawless classic Hollywood, but the dress is way too blah. Is it gray? Is it white? Is she Miss Havisham?
Brie Larson is nominated tonight for her role in Short Term 12. I don't know much about the movie, but I hear her performance is amazing. I am much less amazed by her Escada dress, which looks like a couch my grandmother would have complimented at Colonial Williamsburg.
Melissa McCarthy's hair and makeup look great, but I think that print is overwhelming her. I wanna steal that ring, though.
Emma Thompson, I love you, but that coat looks like a Christmas tree skirt that my crazy great aunt had in the mid eighties. My older female relatives are popping up all over the place, huh?
Abigail Breslin went with the trend of beaded, lacy, long-sleeved dresses, but I think this wishy-washy blue-gray is not her color. Nor is that lipstick her friend.
Read on to see Meryl, Julia and a rare misstep from Cate Blanchett.

Spontaneous volunteers
Disaster | Central Texans sign up to help coastal evacuees fleeing Hurricane Ike
AUSTIN, TEXAS-As refugees from the Texas coast fled Hurricane Ike and streamed into this inland city, "spontaneous volunteers"-those previously unaffiliated with any disaster relief organization-emerged to help at shelters in schools and other buildings. Andrew Pedersen, American Red Cross site manager at the Volunteer Resource Center in northwest Austin, said he had optimistically expected 20 spontaneous volunteers per hour, but during the 10 hours from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, 320 signed up for orientation, a quick interview/background check, and a training session. They were then dispatched to the shelters.
Just as soldiers going into battle often fight not for a grand cause but because of connections to others in their platoon, so many of the Central Texans waiting for orientation were there because family members already were volunteers. Amy Haas was there because her mom is a volunteer, and she had brought along her dad, Bill Haas. Kris Rodgers was volunteering because "My brother's in the Coast Guard, and I figured I'd help." Others, like Lisa Hayslip and Dana Zadow, had come to Austin from Houston recently or years before, and wanted to help people "from my own city."
What was evident in New Orleans two weeks ago is evident in Texas now: Organizations have learned from Katrina and Rita three years ago. Then, there was chaos, which brought out the best and worst in people. Now, an efficient process has taken over, at least in this small sector of hurricane response.

Buzzfeed's Alison Willmore has published a great new quiz on women directors that extends all the way back to 19th-century film pioneer Alice Guy-Blache's The Cabbage Fairy, includes midcentury classics like Agnes Varda's Cleo from 5 to 7 and Maya Deren and Alexander Hammid's Meshes of the Afternoon, and encompasses contemporary touchstones like Jane Campion's The Piano, Mary Harron's American Psycho, Andrea Arnold's Fish Tank, and Sarah Polley's Take This Waltz.
The best thing about sifting through a list of 176 women-directed movies is seeing the enormous variety of genres, styles, sensibilities and backgrounds represented: low-brow comedies, high-brow dramas, art films, rom coms, action spectacles, animated movies, and all manner of documentaries.
The quiz is far from comprehensive of women's directorial work over the past 130 years of cinematic history, but it's a good overview of female achievements in film, as well as a fun way to test your knowledge of women directors' accomplishments.
Take the quiz.

|8th graders take down Burlington
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Holyoke's junior high football team played host to Burlington Thursday, Sept. 13 and split games with the Cougars.
For the second time this season, Holyoke's eighth-grade team won in overtime. They beat Burlington 14-6 in the extra period.
Alex Strauss ran in a five-yard touchdown in overtime and Brendan Mayden punched in a two-point conversion to give the Dragons a 14-6 lead. Zach Churchwell intercepted a Burlington pass on their overtime try to seal the win.
Midway through the second quarter, Gunnar Kroeger intercepted a Cougar pass which helped set up the only touchdown during regulation for Holyoke. Kroeger connected with Brenden Kage for a 57-yard touchdown. The two-point conversion was no good.
Burlington scored in the fourth quarter and the Dragon defense held them out on the two point conversion which helped force the overtime period.
Coach Corey Zeiler said the entire game was a defensive battle and the Dragons played very well.
Holyoke's seventh-grade team lost a tough 0-6 game. The game consisted of two 10-minute halves.
Zeiler said the defense for Holyoke really stepped up. The offense still has some things to work on to improve.
Zeiler said Charlie Valdez had a great game for the Dragons. He had numerous tackles and also ran the ball well.
The Dragons are scheduled to travel to Wray Thursday, Sept. 20 for a 4 p.m. kickoff. The season will wrap up Tuesday, Sept. 25 when the team hosts Brush at 4 p.m.

OK I see. I've never understood the appeal of "nesting" or "unnesting" relations. It doesn't seem to add anything to the relational model and only serves to complicate things. Does anyone have a concrete example of the usefulness of this? Any I've seen in the past seem to be trival to implement in a standard relational model.
I agree that there is nothing to stop someone having a "relation" domain but I think this should all be encapsulated in the domain and not pollute the relational model. Also, I question the practical sense in doing this as well. It seems a bit like having a database-valued domain and "simplifying" your database to be a single value in a one-rowed, database-valued table.

Holly Madison Has A Babymoon At Disney World's Animal Kingdom
By Jessica Rawden 4 years ago
Holly Madison is generally a pretty busy lady. However, the soon-to-be mother recently quit her Las Vegas program, Peep Show, handing over the reigns to Coco Austin as her due date approaches. This means she has a little time on her hands, and she is using that time to go to Walt Disney World.
When a woman is pregnant, she will undoubtedly start thinking along more child-oriented lines, and in this case, Madison has taken the magic a step further. Orlandos Walt Disney World resort is a great place to relax (and also find great inspiration for cute childrens outfits). According to Madisons blog, during the trip, the couple stayed at Disneys Animal Kingdom Lodge, eating at restaurants in the resort and spending time in the parks.
While Madison marveled at the giraffes outside of she and boyfriend Pasquale Rotellas room, Im marveling at the care the staff took with couples babymoon. They received uniquely folded towels with cute little animals attached, and, according to photos on the website, they were even given notes of congratulations from the staff. This may be the sort of thing the Disney resort only does for celebrities, but its a genius idea, and if they do the whole babymoon thing for any pregnant guests who request it, its a great business model. I may be a sucker for Disney World, but I would totally be down with that sort of nonsense.
Madison and Rotella are expecting a baby girl in March.

Grand Central Oyster Bar's Shell of a Ceiling Getting a Shine
Tile on the so-called "whispering walls" is being cleaned and replaced.
If you're planning to take an out-of-towner to Grand Central Oyster Bar's so-called "whispering walls" — where you can speak into one corner and the sound will travel diagonally to another — it could be more crowded. The city (which operates all of Grand Central) started a $450,000 project to clean and replace some of the terracotta tiles, which have been painstakingly reproduced by a Boston ceramics company, and at the moment only two corners are open for whispering. Consider this a lead-up to next year, when the restaurant will turn 100 and undergo a bigger update — here's hoping they don't Algonquin-ize it. [Crain's]

LAWTON, September 25, 2012 — Americans for Indian Opportunity (AIO) will hold its annual Board of Directors meeting on Friday, September 28, 2012, at the Comanche Nation College in Lawton, OK.
AIO's board consists of leaders and activists from Native American and Indigenous communities from around the world, including members of AIO's sister organization in New Zealand, Advancement of Maori Opportunity (AMO). Among the AIO board members traveling to Lawton are AMO President Bentham Ohia and Vice President Kate Cherrington.

New drug targets tumors
WASHINGTON - The Food and Drug Administration has approved a first-of-its-kind breast cancer medication that targets tumor cells while sparing healthy ones.
The drug Kadcyla from Roche combines the established drug Herceptin with a powerful chemotherapy drug and a third chemical linking the medicines together. The chemical keeps the cocktail intact until it binds to a cancer cell, delivering a potent dose of anti-tumor poison.
Researchers say the drug is an important step forward because it delivers more medication while reducing the unpleasant side effects of chemotherapy.
"This antibody goes seeking out the tumor cells, gets internalized and then explodes them from within. So it's very kind and gentle on the patients - there's no hair loss, no nausea, no vomiting," said Dr. Melody Cobleigh of Rush University Medical Center. "It's a revolutionary way of treating cancer."
Dr. Cobleigh helped conduct the key studies of the drug at the Chicago facility.
The FDA approved the new treatment for about 20 percent of breast cancer patients with a form of the disease that is typically more aggressive and less responsive to hormone therapy. These patients have tumors that overproduce a protein known as HER-2.
Breast cancer is the second-most-deadly form of cancer in U.S. women, and is expected to kill more than 39,000 Americans this year, according to the National Cancer Institute.
Roche's Genentech unit build on the blockbuster success of Herceptin, which has long dominated the breast cancer marketplace. Genentech said Friday that Kadcyla will cost $9,800 per month, compared to $4,500 per month for regular Herceptin. The company estimates a full course of Kadcyla, about nine months of medicine, will cost $94,000.
FDA scientists said they approved the drug based on company studies showing Kadcyla delayed the progression of breast cancer by several months.
Researchers reported last year that patients treated with the drug lived 9.6 months before death or the spread of their disease, compared with a little more than six months for patients treated with two other standard drugs, Tykerb and Xeloda.
Overall, patients taking Kadcyla lived about 2.6 years, compared with 2 years for patients taking the other drugs.
The drug should not be used by pregnant women.
