Recognizing the pressing need to focus on sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking against individuals with disabilities and Deaf individuals due to the proliferation of such crimes, Congress authorized the Education, Training and Enhanced Services to End Violence Against and Abuse of Women with Disabilities Grant Program (Disability Grant Program) in the Violence Against Women and the Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005. The goal of the Disability Grant Program is to create sustainable change within and between organizations that result in accessible, safe and effective services for individuals with disabilities and Deaf individuals who are victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking and accountability for perpetrators of such crimes. Disability Grant Program funds will be used to establish and strengthen multidisciplinary collaborative relationships; increase organizational capacity to provide accessible, safe, and effective services to individuals with disabilities and Deaf individuals who are victims of violence and abuse; and identify needs within the grantee's organization and/or service area, and develop a plan to address those identified needs that builds a strong foundation for future work.

No. 1 UNC Improves To 3-0 With 7-1 Win
Posted February 18, 2013
No. 1 North Carolina scored in each of the first three innings en route to a 7-1 win over Coastal Carolina Monday at Boshamer Stadium.
Carolina jumped out to a 5-0 lead after three frames with single runs in the first and third innings. Colin Moranplated Chaz Frank with a sacrifice fly in the first before Cody Stubbs added a sacrifice fly of his own in the third.
The Tar Heels broke the game open in the second when Stubbs opened with a line-drive double over the right fielder's head and Landon Lassiter walked. The pair moved into scoring position when Parks Jordandropped down a sacrifice bunt.
Following a Brian Holberton walk that loaded the bases, Matt Roberts hit a shallow fly to left field but not deep enough to score Stubbs from third.
Chaz Frank delivered the big hit of the inning when he turned on a Tyler Poole offering and sent a ball down the right field line and into the corner. Frank raced around the bases for a three-run stand up triple.
Starter Hobbs Johnson surrendered two hits through the first three frames before the Chanticleers were able to scratch out a run in the fourth. A pair of infield singles and a fielding error allowed Coastal Carolina to pull a run back and make it 5-1.
Johnson would be come out of the ball game with one out in the fifth for precautionary reasons due to forearm tightness. Johnson is probable to make his next scheduled start.
Sophomore right-hander Chris McCue came out of the bullpen cold but settled in right away as he forced a fly out and struck out CCU's number three hitter Alex Buccilli to end the inning.
McCue worked around an error to open the sixth and picked up a pair of strikeouts before another scoreless frame in the seventh to keep the Tar Heels in front, 5-1.
Carolina tacked on another run in the seventh thanks to a Skye Bolt RBI single to extend the margin to five, 6-1.
Senior Chris Munnelly came on and delivered a 1-2-3 eighth inning allowing the Tar Heel offense to plate another run in the eighth on a bases loaded walk drawn by Colin Moran.
Sophomore Luis Paula produced a spotless ninth as the combination of McCue, Munnelly and Paula retired 12 of the last 14 batters, including the final seven.
McCue earned the win out of the bullpen as he went two and two thirds and struck out five.
Chaz Frank paced the offense with a 2-for-4 performance with a run and three RBIs. Colin Moran
chipped in a pair of RBIs and scored twice as well.
Skye Bolt and Cody Stubbs each tallied two hits on the afternoon.
Up next for the Tar Heels is a visit from 2012 College World Series participant Stony Brook for a three-game series starting Friday at 3 p.m. at Boshamer Stadium.

TEL AVIV (Reuters) - BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics said the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has agreed to conduct a clinical trial of the company's adult stem cell treatment for ALS.
The Mayo Clinic is the third leading U.S. clinical site to sign a letter of understanding, following the University of Massachusetts and Massachusetts General, BrainStorm said on Monday.
Israel-based BrainStorm is developing NurOwn for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
Initial results from Phase I studies suggest that patients with ALS experience a positive clinical outcome after treatment with NurOwn cells, the company said.
Anthony Windebank, principal investigator at the Mayo Clinic, said the clinic started patient stem cell safety trials last year.
"The next logical ... step is the type of modification that enables BrainStorm's NurOwn cells to deliver factors to the nervous system that are known to promote motor nerve cell survival," Windebank said.
BrainStorm plans to enroll patients into clinical trials at the Mayo Clinic, the University of Massachusetts and Massachusetts General as early as the second half of 2013.
"This is another step forward in finding a potentially effective treatment option for those patients with ALS," said BrainStorm Chief Executive Alon Natanson.
BrainStorm will be presenting Phase 1 data of its NurOwn treatment in ALS at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology on March 20.
According to the ALS Association, 5,600 people in the United States are diagnosed each year with the disease, which has severely disabled British physicist Stephen Hawking.

In most families with great cooks, there always seems to be talk of collecting all the old recipes into a family cookbook. The recipes go back and forth, hand-written on paper or index cards in the past, told over long-distance lines or cell phones, and these days, through email or Facebook.
But two sisters and their mother from El Paso actually took the desire to share and preserve their grandmother's recipes for chile con queso, pumpkin and apple empanadas, and salsa casera, and turned it into the Muy Bueno Cookbook blog and the just-released "Muy Bueno Cookbook: Three Generations of Authentic Mexican Flavor."
Yvette Marquez-Sharpnack and Veronica Gonzalez-Smith, along with their mother Evangelina "Vangie" Soza, collaborated to compile not only treasured family recipes, but also family lore and background on traditional dishes, as well as developing new Latino-inspired family favorites. The three reunite for the first time in El Paso on Saturday to launch the cookbook in their hometown. They started their book tour separately in Colorado and California.
"It's been a great effort with our family," said Yvette, a graphic designer who lives in Highland Ranch, Colo., outside of Denver.
She designed the attractive blog, which was named a 2011 Saveur Sites We Love. It launched in 2010 and has gotten buzz from other food blogs and had 41,000 unique monthly visitors just last month. Its popularity paved the way for what was initially a self-publishing project into a book deal with Hippocrene Books.
The blog and cookbook grew out of Vangie's visit to Colorado in 2010.
"My mom was visiting us for the summer and we were in the kitchen a lot. We were cooking the dishes my grandmother used to cook and talking about our memories," Marquez-Sharpnack said. "It was my daughter who gave me the idea for the cookbook. She asked me, 'Will you have all these recipes written down for when I go to college?' "
Since Yvette cooked most of the recipes from memory, she raised the idea of a cookbook with her mother, who told her that Veronica had asked her the same thing. That's when they decided to collaborate. They began posting pictures of food from their efforts on Facebook and a photographer friend of Yvette told her they should start a food blog.
"It was a good idea, because so many people wanted the recipes right now," she said. "No one wanted to wait for the book. So that's how the blog started."
Vangie Soza was raised in El Paso by Jose and Maria de Jesus "Jesusita" Soza, who fled from Chihuahua to Texas at age 10 because of the Mexican Revolution. In 1953, the Sozas moved to El Paso, where they bought a house and built a grocery store next to it. Before that, the Sozas had run the Restaurante de Jesusita in Shafter, Texas, where Jesusita had stone-ground corn for tortillas and cooked for local miners. When her husband died five years after they opened Soza's Grocery on Gonzalez Street, she was left to raise her children alone and run a business. That's how she passed along a lot of her recipes to Vangie.
"I now look back and understand how quickly she had to grow up, because I too had to take on more responsibility as a 10-year-old. I helped her with the cooking and worked in the grocery store," Vangie writes in the book.
Later, as a single parent herself, Vangie bought the family grocery store, which she ran for 17 years until 2003, when she closed it and retired. It had been in business for 50 years.
"Being independent women is something my mother really instilled in me and my sister," Yvette said.
Another thing she learned -- once she had left the house and had children of her own -- was how to cook many of the treasured family recipes and that being busy and having a career was no excuse not to cook.
"There are a lot of everyday traditional dishes that are very simple and easy to make and they don't have a lot of ingredients," Yvette said. "Some people think that traditional Mexican food takes a long time, but my mom and grandmother were very busy women and they made dinner every day."
Despite their respect and love for the tradition food of northern Mexico and the Borderland, Yvette and Veronica have staked out a more modern take in creating Latino-inspired dishes. Part is because they try to make some dishes healthier -- though Yvette denies that all Mexican food is deep-fried and unhealthful -- and also because they like cooking with the seasons and entertaining, which means more appetizers and cocktails.
Veronica, who moved with her husband to Germany last year (both are teachers with the Department of Defense), also has the added incentive of a refrigerator that does not include a freezer.
"The way I shop and the ingredients I shop for have to be used in less than 5 days," Veronica said via email. "This has really changed how I plan my weekly menu. I love the fresh meat markets, fresh bread, which is to die for, and the excellent German beer. I even used a German beer as my main ingredient while slow cooking some ribs."
With the weather turning colder, the women's thoughts have turned to warm, soul-filling food.
"(My mom) used to make us a lot of empanadas," Vangie said. "Also apples, because it's apple time."
There were many fruit trees in her backyard growing up -- apple, peach, apricot, quince and pomegranate.
"She was always putting stuff up," Vangie said.
For Yvette, the fall brings to mind caldo de pollo and her grandmother Jesusita's chile con queso, with its secret ingredient -- Licon Dairy's suero, the whey left over from making asadero cheese.
"Every time I think of this recipe, I think of Thanksgiving," Yvette said. "This was (my grandmother's) contribution every Thanksgiving."
In Germany, where Veronica says they've already gotten their first dusting of snow, "I am currently craving soups and all sorts of comfy food. But at this moment I'm really craving mole with a side of cilantro lime rice."
It was on the menu for a small Día de los Muertos celebration, Veronica says.
All these recipes are included in the "Muy Bueno Cookbook," which incorporates many posts from the blog. The book is beautifully photographed by Jeanine Thurston. It has a glossary of the chiles typically used in the book's recipes and separate introductions from all three women that tell family stories as well as the way they arrived in the kitchen. Silhouette symbols are included with the anecdotes and recipes to identify from whom who the story or recipe comes.
The stories are told with a lot of affection for each other and a respect for the traditional foods of El Paso and northern Mexico. The authors clearly want to share their own traditions and help others to create and maintain their own.
"We just had our first book signing in Denver," said Yvette. "And one of my friends from high school came up to my and told me 'All the abuelitas are gonna come after you for giving away their secrets.' All these recipes are the recipes we grew up with. A lot of people are not cooking anymore and we're trying to preserve these recipes and inspire people to continue the traditions."

Roasted Green Chiles with Buttermilk and Cheese(Rajas con suero and queso asadero)
Mi mama always made this delicious staple to eat with frijoles de la olla. The suero (whey) made this recipe uniquely ours and gives the green chile a creamy tang and perfect saltiness. WE especially love this dish as part of our Thanksgiving menu. In fact, she made this dish for us for our last Thanksgiving celebration with her, two months before she passed away. I roasted the green chiles and she peeled off the skins. She sat in her wheelchair at the kitchen table, where she always loved to be, giving me instructions. I hope your family enjoys this chile dish as much as we do! -- Vangie.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 Spanish yellow onion
3 cloves garlic, chopped, or 1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tomato, chopped (optional)
1 tablespoon flour
13 Anaheim chiles, roasted and peeled, thinly sliced
1 to 2 jalapeños, roasted and peeled, chopped (optional, for extra spice)
2 1/2 cups suero or buttermilk
2 cups shredded asadero cheese
Salt to taste
Heat the oil in a large skillet, add onions and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 2 minutes.
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly so as not to burn the garlic. Add tomato if using and stir. Add flour and stir for another 2 minutes.
Add the roasted Anaheim chiles and jalapeños and let simmer for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to combine all the flavors together.
Add the suero and bring to a boil. Stir in the cheese. Cover and remove from heat. Allow the cheese to melt before serving. Add salt to taste.
12 to 14 servings
Empanadas de calabazas (Pumpkin turnovers)
At our house we welcome fall with sweet, tasty empanadas made with fresh pumpkin. The pumpkin simmering with piloncillo, cinnamon and cloves gives off a sweet, earthy scent, reminding us that fall has arrived. To this day, whenever I smell cinnamon, it evokes great memories of mi mama baking in the kitchen. During the fall she would request that I bring her a pumpkin so she could make her delicious homemade pies and empanadas. She preferred the striped green pumpkins or the dark green ones, saying they were meatier. But if she could not find those, the orange ones were acceptable. She always made things work - Vangie
Fresh pumpkin filling
4- to 5-pound pumpkin (orange or striped)
2 cups water
3 cinnamon sticks
5 whole cloves
16 ounces piloncillo or 2 cups packed dark brown sugar
Empanada dough
3 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Canned evaporated milk or egg white
Cinnamon sugar mixture
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
Make pumpkin filling: Rinse the exterior of the pumpkin in cool or warm water, no soap. Using a serrated knife, cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the pumpkin seeds. Scrape out the stringy layer of pulp with a spoon. Discard seeds and pulp. Cut pumpkin into 3- to 4-inch slices, leaving the skin on. In a steamer of a large pot, steam the pumpkin in the 2 cups water, making sure to keep the lid on tight, for 20 to 40 minutes until the pumpkin is tender. The pumpkin is ready when your fork slides easily into the flesh.
Let the pumpkin cool. Once cooled, scoop the flesh off the skins and into a mixing bowl. Mash the steamed pumpkin with a potato masher. Strain the cooking liquid in a bowl. Reserve liquid and set the pumpkin puree aside.
In the same large pot, put the reserved liquid from the pumpkin, about 1/2 to 1/4 cup, and add cinnamon sticks and cloves. Bring the liquid to a boil and then remove from heat. Replace lid and let steep for 30 minutes.
Remove spices and add pumpkin puree to the liquid. Add the piloncillo and over medium-low heat; let it melt into the pumpkin puree, stirring occasionally so it will not burn or stick to the pot. The pumpkin puree will turn a dark color with the piloncillo, making it sweeter.
Once the piloncillo has melted, lower the heat to low and let simmer uncovered until all the water evaporates. Remove from heat and allow pumpkin puree to cool down before refrigerating, about 15 minutes.
To help puree set, place in refrigerator for three hours or overnight. If some liquid separates, remove it with a spoon before using so the filling is not watery. Make the empanada dough after your filling has chilled.
Make empanada dough: Mix the first dry ingredients. Cut in the shortening. It's best to use your hands. Add the eggs, milk, sugar and cinnamon (if using). Continue to work in with your hands until you have a soft dough. Split the dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 20 to 30 minutes.
Assemble and bake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Take out half the dough and split it into 12 equal balls of dough.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough balls into small round circles. Place a small dollop of pumpkin filling on one half of each of the dough circles. Wet the bottom edge of the circles with water to help seal the two halves. Fold over the dough to cover filling and seal off the edges with a fork by pressing along the edges. This also makes a pretty pattern when they're baked.
Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Brush each empanada with some canned evaporated milk or egg whites and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Puncture the top of each empanada with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.
Spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray, place the empanadas on the cookie sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes on the middle rack of the oven. If after 15 minutes you notice the bottom of the empanadas starting to brown, move the cookie sheet to the top rack and continue to bake for last 5 minutes, until golden brown.
Enjoy the empanadas warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate baked empanadas for a few days. Reheat in a toaster oven or bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes.
Makes 24 empanadas.
Homemade chicken soup (Caldo de Pollo)
This is one of mi mamá's favorite dishes on cold winter days, or when we had a cold or flu. It warms you to the core and soothes those annoying body aches that show up during cold season. She would also make this soup on wash days, so she would not have to spend too much time in the kitchen while she was busy washing clothes. Wash day for her meant a full day of washing clothes with a washboard, hanging them outside on the line to dry, folding them, and finally ironing a pile of clothes. I know a bowl of this restorative soup was the perfect mean after that hard day's work. - Vangie Soza
8 cups water
4 to 6 skinless chicken drumsticks or thighs
1 tablespoon salt
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup white long-grain rice
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
2 carrots, sliced
3 Yukon gold potatoes, quartered
1/3 cup tomato sauce
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1/4 teaspoon whole safflower petals
Lime wedges
In a large (at least 10-quart) pot, put the water, chicken, salt and garlic. Boil for 15 minutes. While the chicken is boiling, in a separate pan, heat the oil over medium heat, add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 2-3 minutes, being careful not to let it burn. Add the onion and continue cooking until onion is translucent, about 2 minutes. Add tomato and cook an additional 3 minutes. Add mixture to chicken pot.
Add carrots, celery and potatoes to soup and let come back to a boil; reduce heat. Let simmer until vegetables cook through, about 20-30 minutes. Add tomato sauce, cilantro and safflower petals during the last 5 minutes. Ladle soup, including a piece of chicken for each serving, into bowls and serve with lime wedges, warm corn tortillas and salsa casera.
4 to 6 servings.
Cilantro Lime Rice (Arroz Blanco con Cilantro Y Limon)
I've always loved cilantro lime rice but we never made it growing up. I love the tartness of the lime and the bold flavor of the cilantro. I though to myself I must learn to make this at home. So I went on a quest. I tried several recipes and still didn't quite get the flavor I was looking for. I eventually realized that basmati rice was the single ingredient that made all the difference. So after several trial-and-error sessions in my kitchen I finally got it right. My husband says this is his favorite rice now. The sugar softens the tartness of the lime juice and gives the overall recipe the balance I was looking for. - Veronica
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 cup uncooked long grain white basmati rice
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
Juice of 1 or 2 small limes, divided
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
In a saucepan over low-medium heat, melt the butter. Add the rice and sugar. Mix briefly to coat the rice with the butter and sugar. Add half the lime juice and stir for 1 minute. Add water and salt. Bring the rice to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer until the rice is tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle rice with the cilantro, the rest of the lime juice, and more salt if needed. Fluff rice with a fork. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Four servings.
Chicken Mole (Pollo con mole)
This mole is a thick, rich, chocolate tinged, spicy sauce. Preparing most moles can be very time consuming, labor intensive, and require many ingredients. Some mole recipes contain 10 different varieties of chile alone. This mole recipe is a fusion of Grandma's and Mom's recipes. More often than not, my Grandma used a jar of Doña Maria mole paste, fresh boiled chicken, a few spices and that was it. Mom on the other hand uses some additional fresh ingredients and only a few tablespoons of mole paste to enhance all the natural flavors and tame the sweetness of the chocolate. This simple flavorful mole gives you the soul of traditional mole without all the hard work. -Yvette.
4 1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons salt
1 small onion
1 to 2 pounds chicken breasts
1 bay leaf
Mole sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 bolillo or small french roll, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 dried ancho chiles, stemmed, seeded and diced
2 California red chile pods, stemmed, seeded and diced
1 large or 2 small tomatillos, husks removed, rinsed and chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, plus more for garnish
3 3/4 cups chicken broth (reserved from boiling chicken), divided
2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
1.5 ounces Mexican chocolate (recommended Nestle-Abuelita), coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons mole paste (recommended, Doña Maria)
2 teaspoons salt
Prepare chicken: In a large pot, heat water, salt onions, chicken and bay leaf. Once it comes to a boil, lower heat and simmer for about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate to cool off, and then shred. Discard bay leaf, reserve broth and onion.
To make mole sauce: Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, bolillo, chiles, tomatillos, tomato, and sesame seeds and saute for 10 minutes, until soft.
Pour half the broth and boiled onion into a blender and half the sauteed ingredients. Add the peanut butter, chocolate pieces, cocoa powder, mole paste, and salt and blend until very smooth. Transfer the sauce to a large skillet.
Pour the other half of the broth and sauteed ingredients into blender. Puree and add mixture in the large skillet. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add 2 cups of the shredded chicken and stir until the chicken is covered with the sauce.
Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring continuously to keep it from sticking to the skillet. Plate some mole on a serving plate and toss a handful of sesame seeds on top for garnish.
7 to 8 servings.
Note: To save time, you can also use 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken and canned low-sodium chicken broth.

DETROIT - The man who claims to have firsthand knowledge in the murder of Grosse Pointe Park mother Jane Bashara spent the night in jail.
Sources told the Local 4 Defenders the man, who they are calling Joe, walked into the Grosse Pointe Park Police Department at about 4 a.m. Tuesday. He then told police he was paid to help in the murder of Bashara and that there was a second person involved in the crime, sources said.
Special coverage: Grosse Pointe Park murder investigation
Sources said Joe also told police Bashara was viciously attacked and killed in her own garage, and he witnessed it.
Her body was then taken in the backseat of her Mercedes-Benz SUV, driven to Detroit and abandoned, sources said. Joe told police he placed Jane's lifeless body in the SUV.
The identity of the second person involved is not yet known as police work to verify the information provided by Joe.
Joe told police that he worked for Bob Bashara doing odd jobs around his rental properties.
Joe is being held by police but he has not been charged. Sources say he left a leather jacket and two cellphones with his friend. When the friend noticed scratches on the jacket, he decided to hand the items over to police, sources say.
The 56-year-old woman was found dead in the back of her SUV Wednesday morning in an alley in Detroit.
An autopsy showed Bashara's windpipe had been crushed.
Jane Bashara's husband, Bob Bashara, had been pegged a person of interest by police. Sources said he failed a polygraph, but he has not been charged.
Sources said police don't think whoever killed Jane Bashara acted alone. Sources tell Local 4 that an accomplice helped stage the crime scene as a robbery gone wrong.
Bob Bashara reported his wife missing the night before she was found dead. During an interview with Local 4, he said he thought she was out running an errand when he got home Tuesday night. But when she didn't answer her cell phone several hours later, he got worried.
Investigators have been to the couple's home, taking computers and other items from the house. A K-9 has also scoured the home.
Her funeral was Tuesday.

First off, the installer couldn't find my Python installation. I realised from some googling that this was due to the 64 bit OS on my computer, and the relevant registry entries therefore being in the wrong place. Following instructions online, I was able to copy the registry entries to the correct place and the installer could then complete successfully...or so I thought.
I then tried to create a simple little script to crop an image, to test out PIL. However, on running it, I got an error: "_imaging c module not installed"
I looked in the python DLL folder, and sure enough _imaging.pyd (which googling has led me to believe should be present there) was absent. I then uninstalled PIL and reinstalled it from an alternative location: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
This made no difference. So I then decided to try using PIP to install PIL (having now removed the second PIL installation as well). This seemed to download the source and try to build it, but then I came up against another problem: gcc from MinGW gave an error when trying to compile the _imaging module. The error was this:
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-mno-cygwin'
I did some more googling, and came across this: http://bugs.python.org/issue12641
Apparently, it's a known issue with recent builds of GCC. The suggestion there was to remove all mentions of "-mno-cygwin" from the file "cygwinccompiler.py" in the python Lib\distutils directory. I did that and no longer got the above error, but now I got this one instead:

So in short, I am still no closer to having PIL working.
Basically my question is: is there some distribution of PIL which includes _imaging.pyd (assuming that is the file I need), or some other simpler way to get PIL working? (Ideally I would like to get gcc working properly as well, but if I can just get PIL for now, that'll be fine for me)
EDIT: Just to be absolutely clear:
OS: Windows 7 64 bit
Python version: 2.7.3

Another day, another reason to get better at math.
It's no secret that quantitative skills are in high demand on the job market—one analytics recruiter recently told The Journal that workers who can't crunch numbers may ultimately face a "permanent pink slip."
Now, a new ranking from the job-search website CareerCast.com names mathematician as the best occupation of 2014. "Math skills unlock a world of career opportunities," publisher Tony Lee said. (Cue the Square One theme, and tune inMathnet.)
Data whizzes of all stripes fared well in the annual list: Statisticians (No. 3), actuaries (No. 4) and computer systems analysts (No. 8) all landed near the top.
Mathematicians pull in a midlevel income of $101,360, according to CareerCast.com, and the field is expected to grow 23% in the next eight years. Other high earners include actuaries and software engineers, who can expect to earn about a midlevel income of $93,000 per year.
Speaking of math, the list is tallied by scoring 200 types of jobs according to four categories: environment, which rates things like competitiveness; income at low, middle, and high career positions; the outlook for income and employment growth; and stress factors such as travel and deadlines.
Jockeying for last place on the list are–again–ink-stained wretches and wielders of axes, as journalists and lumberjacks get squeezed out by new technologies, the report notes. Lumberjacks fare worse in dollar terms, registering just $24,340 in midlevel income.
The outlook for some jobs are so bleak that they weren't included on this year's list. Among the occupations consigned to the dustbin are bricklayer, typist/word processor, and stationary engineer automobile assembler.
Below are the best and worst jobs of 2014, according to CareerCast.com. Click here for the full rankings and here for details on the methodology.

This article is from http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/missing-jet/how-math-solved-mystery-missing-malaysian-jets-path-n62026
Analysts at the Inmarsat satellite venture executed a computational tour de force to determine where a missing Malaysia Airlines jet probably went, but mathematician John Zweck says the feat is simple enough to explain with a basketball, a hoop … and an ant.
"The math involved is really just a little bit more than the trigonometry you'd have in high school," Zweck, a professor at the University of Texas at Dallas, told NBC News.
Don't worry: Zweck isn't popping a trig quiz on us. Instead, he's retracing the steps that the investigators at Inmarsat, Britain's Air Accidents Investigations Branch and the Boeing Co. took to narrow down the search area for the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 jet, which disappeared from radar screens on March 8.
All the investigators had to go on were signals from a transmitter on the Boeing 777 jet that sent hourly pings to an Inmarsat telecom satellite, hovering high over the Indian Ocean. They were able to glean two key sets of clues from those signals: the angular distance of the jet when each of the pings was sent, and the frequency of each ping.
The angular distance allowed Inmarsat to draw a series of arcs, to the north and to the south, indicating the range of possible locations when each ping was sent. "We know the times at which the airplane crossed those arcs," Zweck said. But the arcs stretch so far it'd be impossible to search the entire swath of ocean.
Image: Jet's course JOHN ZWECK / UT-DALLAS
An analysis of satellite pings from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 allowed Inmarsat to sketch out broad arcs that the jet crossed hour by hour. Further analysis produced projected flight paths for the missing jet. The black dashed lines indicate the paths plotted by Inmarsat, and the yellow line indicates mathematician John Zweck's computed flight path. The black dot with a white dot in the center indicates the precise point over which the satellite was flying.
To narrow down the search area, Zweck took the plane's last known position, as of 2:11 a.m. local time, and then looked for straight-line routes that traced a great circle around the globe. That would be consistent with a scenario in which the crew — and perhaps the passengers as well — were incapacitated, leaving the plane to fly on autopilot until the fuel ran out.
North-south lines of longitude are examples of great circles. "However, in our case, instead of the great circles being lines of longitude through the North Pole, they are going through where the plane was thought to be at 2:11 a.m.," Zweck said.
Put the ball in the hoop
If you're looking for a straight-line, great-circle route, it's possible to figure out the jet's path using only the satellite data. This is where the basketball comes in handy.
"You could take a basketball, and draw the arcs with a red pen on the basketball," Zweck said. "Then put the basketball in a hoop that fits snugly around the ball. Pin that basketball onto the rim at the place where the plane was at 2:11 a.m., and put another pin on the exact opposite point on the ball."
The rim of the hoop can now define any of the great circles that pass through the starting point.
"Let's say the rim has a ruler marked on it," Zweck said. "Rotate the rim around the sphere and look to see where it crosses the arcs. Measure the distance between the first arc and the second arc, the second arc and the third arc, the third and the fourth. You want all those measurements to be the same."
That would produce a route that intersected all the pings at the right time to reflect a constant speed for the plane.
How Investigators Narrowed Down the Missing Plane's LocationNIGHTLY NEWS
Inmarsat's analysts had an advantage over Zweck, in that they could estimate the speed of the plane by analyzing Doppler shifts in the frequency of the pings. "They knew how to calibrate their ruler," Zweck said. "I didn't, but I was able to infer it."
Zweck ended up with a speed estimate that was the same as Inmarsat's: 450 knots, or 518 mph.
"What I was able to do was reproduce Inmarsat's results," Zweck said. "But I didn't use a basketball and a rim. I used a computer and trigonometry."
North vs. south
There was one other problem to solve: The arcs could point to a northward flight just as easily as a southward flight. So which path did Flight 370 take? The key clue came from the pings' Doppler shift.
You can hear a Doppler shift in the whistle of a passing train: The pitch rises when the train is approaching you, and falls when it's chugging away from you. Similarly, the frequency of the jet's ping would be slightly higher if the plane is moving toward the satellite, and slightly lower if it's moving away.
To explain how this relates to the north vs. south question, Zweck metaphorically passes you the basketball once more. Imagine you're holding the ball in front of you at arm's length. The point in the very center of your vision is analogous to the point on Earth directly below the satellite.
"It makes all of us math majors around the world swell with pride."
"We know the plane started north of the satellite," Zweck said. "If you imagine that the plane was an ant on the basketball, the ant starts a little bit above the level of your eye. Now imagine that the ant is walking south, across the surface of the basketball. When the ant walks south along that straight line, it's getting just a little closer at first."
But when it crosses the plane of your vision, the ant starts receding. The jet would go through a similar, ever-so-slight advance and retreat as it crossed the equator and headed south.
That rate of movement, forward and back, was reflected in the pings' Doppler shift: first a slight rise in frequency, and then a fall. "They were able to tell by looking at the frequency of the signal that it was getting closer to the satellite, but then after a certain point, it's moving away," Zweck said.
That suggested that the plane took the southern route. If it had gone north, the Doppler data would have shown that the plane was consistently farther away from the satellite.
The forward-and-back Doppler shift was so subtle that Inmarsat's analysts had to double-check it by comparing data from other 777 jets that traveled similar routes. They also checked the data that the Malaysian jet sent back before it disappeared. "It all agreed," Zweck said.
For more of the technical nitty-gritty, check out this statement from Malaysia's acting transport minister, or Zweck's UT-Dallas website.
Producing the proof
"It's an amazing bit of analysis, because the beginning of the path is so darn close to the equator," observed James Oberg, NBC News' space analyst. "It makes all of us math majors around the world swell with pride."
However, the only way to verify the analysis is to identify wreckage in the search area, an Alaska-sized stretch of the Indian Ocean about 1,550 miles (2,500 kilometers) southwest of Perth, Australia.
There have been some intriguing sightings of debris, gleaned from satellite imagery and aerial observations. Ships and aircraft from six countries — Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea and the United States — are combing the area. NASA says it's taking pictures of the southern search zone with its Terra and EO-1 satellites. But so far, Inmarsat's masterful theorem has yet to be proven.

dressed in their Sunday best, youngsters said 'I do' at an elaborate wedding ceremony in Broad Town near Royal Wootton Bassett – a celebration engineered by their teachers to better illustrate the concept of marriage.
Four-year-old Broad Town Pre-School pupils Penny and Daniel promised to love and cherish each other in sickness and in health in front of their solemn band of bridesmaids and best men at the village's Christ Church, as they were joined in marriage by their supervisor cum vicar Jennie White.
The young couple were snapped throughout the service by one of their classmates turned 'professional' photographer to immortalise the day.
The idea of a mock-wedding to better explain the bond of marriage to the children emerged after one of the pupils attended a wedding and returned to school full of anecdotes from the ceremony.
Most pre-schoolers had never attended a wedding and struggled to understand what it meant.
"A little girl went to a wedding and we tried to role-play it but the children didn't understand," said Jennie.
"We decided to incorporate this in our planning on celebrations. We made all the food for the reception this morning and we made the bouquets and button holes.
"We asked staff to choose a bride and groom and we got five bridesmaids and four groomsmen. We even had someone playing a wedding photographer.
"The wedding has covered all seven areas of our curriculum and it has brought a sense of excitement to the children.
"The parents thought I was mad at first but they are 100 per cent behind it and they've gone out of their way to get costumes."
The order of ceremony was inspired by pre-school deputy head Louise Coward's own wedding service.
The nervous wait for groom Daniel and best man Jamie before the bride arrives at the church
Cerian Lye-Owens was among the parents in attendance with her son Lachlan, dressed in a dashing grey suit for the occasion.
She admitted the prospect of a full-blown wedding complete with a reception seemed strange at first but, along with her three-year-old boy, she grew excited as it approached.
"At first I thought it was quite unusual but they all did their little flower arrangements and they made the food and all dressed up," she said.
"They have learned so many things from it. And they've been so excited.
"It's more fun for them that way. If they go to a wedding now they will have an idea of what it's about and what it means."

For lack of better words, my DIV keeps breaking. In the meantime, I've temporarily placed all of these ridiculous spacer codes
in order to prevent the break from occurring. I know, however, that these spacers aren't suitable, as they don't align properly in IE.
I'm not sure why my DIV keeps doing this, but my best guess is that something is missing in my code. Would anyone care to take a look? I would truly appreciate it!
Why don't you simply place each line in it's own block element?

Or if you don't want to go that route you could just add
 to create a new line.
Yes, it's when I add the line breaks
that the div itself breaks.
However, I have not yet tried the div's as Block elements. I'll give it a go...
What do you mean they break the div? Sorry, not understanding here. (:
...no luck with the block elements. There's something else wrong with my code I believe
Hi, what exactly is breaking and where once you remove those spaces?
Here is an image showing what's happening:
This is happening for my Content Div
Remove the s and PLEASE STOP MESSING WITH THE PAGE.
Every 2 minutes when I refresh it keeps being new code.
Make hte page as broken as you can and LEAVE IT
I'm not quite sure what you mean. I haven't updated the site at all today.
Then somethings going wrong at my end :-/. Sorry about that.. This is the 2nd time today.
Either wa, can you please remove all the &nbps;s and break the page for us to fix
Yes, of course. Here it is:
Hi, you try and float ".mike" so it tries to shrinkwrap to the smallest amount of width possible :). Just remove the float
That works perfectly. Thanks so much! You rock
You're welcome :).

The magic of a small community
The ideal way of travelling is not from place to place, but from person to person. Great tour guides like Velile Ndlumbini of East London understand the concept.
I've done the bus tours through Soweto, but Velile offered something far more personal. He took us into Duncan Village and Mdantsane in the Eastern Cape. What a fascinating afternoon. He introduced us to the enterprising informal car mechanics of Section C, and an angel called Ncumisa Yoyo, who has established a beautiful crèche in the midst of great poverty.
This is also one of the places where South Africa's best boxers have their origins, and Velile took us to one of gritty gyms where the boxers train.
He also explained township slang for us. A small car like a VW Citi Golf is called a Starter Pack. A cellphone is referred to as a Nomyayi (which means crow in Xhosa). Somewhere in Zululand, while I'm on the subject, a cellphone is often referred to as 'the screaming in the pocket'. I forget the precise Zulu words.
In Port Elizabeth, Nelson Sebezela of Calabash Tours took us on an evening shebeen tour in the township. There are taverns where you can sit and meet the locals over a meal and a few beers. You'll sometimes even find excellent live jazz. We relaxed completely, made new friends and quietly agreed that this was much better than those impersonal bus tours.
On Show-Me Street, young people playfully parade any new cellphones or clothes they may have in the descending dusk.
At Intabazwe next to Harrismith in the Eastern Free State, local luminary Joyce Mthembu took us to meet musician James '14' Tshabalala, who hauled out his guitar and amp and gave us an impromptu performance. It was magic, especially against the backdrop of green rolling hills.
She also took us to the so-called Show-Me Street, where young people playfully parade any new cellphones or clothes they may have in the descending dusk.
Cata, a rural village not far from Hogsback in the Eastern Cape, is one of my favourite little places. Here you can stay in the Amatola Mountain Village at the top of the hill and then wander down the little streets, stopping along the way to chat. When we were there, two little boys demonstrated their game of 'soccer petyu' to us – flicking the round head of a deodorant can through stone 'goal posts'.
At the bottom of the hill, we admired the vegetable gardens and went for a walk along a clear stream where, they say, trout are known to lurk.
At each encounter, it felt like we were making new friends. Which is the best way to travel...

Diana Camacho became the fifth member and second class of the Grant County High School Athletic Hall of Fame Feb. 17 during a halftime celebration of the Braves/Juggernauts game.
Camacho attended GCHS from 1994 to 1997 and played golf all four years. In that time she placed as high as third at the state tournament (1996) and was a two-time All-State team member (1995, 1996), according to Eastern Kentucky University Archives.
At the beginning of the basketball season, the Grant County Braves basketball program had three seniors on the team.
By season's end, it was down to senior forward Josh Blackburn.
At Senior Night Feb. 17, the Braves basketball program bid farewell to Blackburn and seniors from the wrestling team and cheerleading squad before the Braves/Juggernauts game.
For Blackburn, it was a somber moment.
Taryn Biddle will trade the blue and gold for purple and white as she signed her national letter of intent to play softball at Asbury University Feb. 17.
"It feels really good," she said after the signing. "I have wanted this since I started playing and now I signed the paper and it doesn't feel real."
Her decision to choose Asbury was being able to meet Asbury coach Larry McCullough her sophomore season and being able to practice with the Lady Eagles.
15 Years Ago
Feb. 15, 1996
Former Grant County basketball coach C.R. Wenderoth has been elected to the Northern Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame.
The cerermony was held at Latonia Legion Hall Feb 21.
25 Years Ago
Feb. 11, 1986
The Demons squeaked out a 54-51 win over tier county-rival Braves.
Craig Houchens was the leading scorer for Williamstown with 17 points.
Leading scorer for the Braves was David Shelton with 16 points.
When: 7:30 p.m. Feb. 18
Where: Grant County High School
What: The Lady Braves will face Owen County Feb. 18. The last time these two teams faced was on opening night with Grant County falling 74-36 to the Lady Rebels. Grant County will honor their three seniors, Brittany Hearn, Logan Kidwell and Seneca Sullivan after the junior varsity game.
When: 7:30 p.m. Feb. 17
Where: Grant County High School
What: The Braves will host Lloyd Memorial for Senior Night. Grant County will have a ceremony before the warmups of the varsity game. They will honor the senior Josh Blackburn along with the seniors from the cheerleading squad and wrestling team.
With the pre-game ceremony honoring the three seniors of the Williamstown Demons basketball team, the night started on a high note, but ended on a low one as they lost to Eminence 53-52 Feb. 10.
The Demons have struggled all season, but this game was particularly heartbreaking.
"I've never had a team that wouldn't listen like that," Williamstown coach Steve Sigmon said after the game. "It is what it is."
It was a learning experience for the Grant County wrestling team at the 6th Region tournament Feb. 10-11 at Walton-Verona High School.
The first-year program got to learn what it takes to be a competitor as the size and agility of the other wrestlers proved too much for the Braves wrestlers.
"We are going to have to hit the weights hard," coach Matt Shearer said. "We knew it would be tough here, but we wrestled hard."
Sophomore Cody Miskell and freshman Austin Gripshover placed sixth in their respective weight classes.
The 8th Region announced their list for the 2010-2011 All-Region team which included Williamstown senior Tori Wilhoit and Grant County sophomore Billie Hearn.
For Hearn the announcement came unexpectedly.
"I didn't really think about it, but it makes me really happy knowing I am a part of it," Hearn said.
Hearn said her heart was fluttering when she received word that she was being named to the team.
"This really made my day," she said.

Catholic Ministry of the Airways Supported in Argentina
Thursday, February 20, 2014
Success Story
Father Werenfried van Straaten, the founder of ACN, had many ingenious ideas for bringing the Church to those who could not get to church themselves. There are many reasons why people cannot go to church, and one is when people live in regions where there are no churches and where priests can only rarely visit. One response was to make the Gospel more mobile, so Father Werenfried funded chapel trucks and later Chapel boats, churches on wheels and floating churches, to bring church to the people when the people could not get church. But still many faithful were not being reached. That is why the media apostolate, and especially the radio apostolate, was an idea dear to his heart. Cheap transistor radios are affordable and obtainable almost throughout the world today, and in this way the Good News can penetrate even into those regions that are difficult if not impossible of access. Sometimes, where the Church has such radio-based missions, even in the steppes of Central Asia, one can see nomads, sitting around the radio in the evening, praying the Rosary. And there are many others for whom a radio apostolate can be a true source of inspiration and a way of complementing more traditional methods of pastoral ministry.The realization that radio can be a kind of "pulpit" from which the Word can go out to millions is something well understood by Pope Francis as well. When he was still Archbishop of Buenos Aires, he established the communications center of Our Lady of Lujan.For Argentina, too, has its remote and impoverished regions where it is not physically possible to provide an adequate pastoral ministry to the faithful and where, there are also many people who, while formally belonging to the Catholic Church, have little understanding of it and do not go to church. These people cannot be reached by usual parish ministry efforts. And no one can fail to have noticed the increasing anticlerical tendencies in society that are attacking Christian values and the culture of life. In order to help the Church in these many challenges that are facing her in Argentina, ACN is supporting this Catholic ministry of the airwaves with a contribution of $11,000. A heartfelt thanks to the benefactors who made it possible for us to support Catholic radio in Argentina.Aid to the Church in Need commits to invest your funds where they will have the greatest impact for the Church that we serve. Funds donated to Aid to the Church in Need's projects will be used towards the greatest need in our programs to help keep the Faith alive.

Among the many financial institutions that have disappeared in the last year, one in particular is to be mourned. The European Real Estate Private Equity Mezzanine CDO Group Poker School no longer meets in the Admiral Codrington.
Theories vary as to the cause of its demise – do the players have a new pastime? Do they find they are so busy losing other people's money, they have no time to lose their own? Do they no longer have any money? I prefer to think they are simply ashamed to be seen in public.

Digest — May 2004
By Capt. Patrick Sciacca
Beyond the Edge
|Part 2: The foursome got some video equipment, hired a couple of cameramen, and went fishing.
"I thought, we fish, we freedive, and we explore local culture. We should do our own show," Fischer says with confidence, adding, "and we just decided we would make a pilot." Knowing he'd need a vessel with range, Fischer bought Go Fisch; her derated 550-hp Detroit Diesel 8V-92s provide her with a 1,500-mile range. Once he had the boat, Fischer went back into his pocket and funded the pilot. That's confidence, especially considering Melissa, a former actress, was also the only one with TV experience. The foursome got some video equipment, hired a couple of cameramen, and went fishing. They didn't just film 30 minutes of the back of an angler's head while everyone watched a bent rod; they shot extensive underwater freediving and spearfishing segments, out-of-the-way landlubber spots, and excellent gourmet galley pieces, too.
With McBride's and Traylor's extensive knowledge of the "in-between" places and Fischer's new take on the fishing-show format, the pilot must have made quite an impression, as restaurant giant Red Lobster signed on to sponsor a full-blown series. With a budget, the foursome lived aboard Go Fisch for two years, searching for angling adventure. The first season's segments aired on the Outdoor Life Network, but were quickly picked up by ESPN2. It became obvious that viewers appreciated both the content and the crew's chemistry.
Some segments show the anglers catching giant halibut and king salmon in front of jaw-dropping Alaskan landscapes, while others provide an underwater up-close view of freediving and spearfishing yellowtail, pargo (a.k.a. dogtooth snapper), dorado, and wahoo in the surreal blue Pacific off Mexico and Central America. And then there are the billfish battles that make you jump out of your chair like a last-minute touchdown on Super Bowl Sunday. Take, for instance, Melissa's black marlin, which she almost caught on the Hannibal Banks off Panama. When the 100-pound mono on her 50-wide standup outfit started tearing off, she grabbed the rod and locked up. Melissa knew she was in for a ride. "It was a tough fight, and it took me to physical places I didn't think I could go," she recalls. "After almost two hours of fighting (later edited down to fit the half-hour time slot), I'd gotten almost all the line back." But when the boat suffered an engine problem and couldn't chase down the fish, the estimated 800-pound black marlin broke free. Yet even this lost-fish segment aired, further endearing the Go Fisch crew to its audience. After all, every angler has at least one "big fish that got away" story.
Having been up, down, and under the waters from Alaska to Panama, what's next for the crew and show? Fischer was off to Ecuador the day after we spoke (he and Melissa now commute to Go Fisch about 12 days a month to film the show). Ultimately, Fischer says he would like to get a bigger boat—possibly a 100-footer—and do two years nonstop around the South Pacific, fishing and freediving where few, if any, anglers and divers have tread.
Sounds good to me. I wonder if they need a cabin boy.

A handful of Orange County surfers are enjoying warm waves and weather while waiting for conditions to allow the Volcom Pipe Pro in Hawaii to kick off.
The fourth annual Volcom Pipe Pro, an Association of Surfing Professionals 5-Star World Qualifying Series event, draws more than 100 top surfers from around the world to compete at the world-famous Pipeline on the North Shore. There is only one other major ASP contest held at this barreling surf spot – the Billabong Pipe Masters, an event in December that allows only the top 34 surfers in the world to compete.
Newport Beach's Chase Wilson will be the first Orange County surfer to go up in the round of 96, followed by San Clemente's Dane Gudauskas. World Tour surfer Kolohe Andino, of San Clemente, will compete when the round of 64 gets under way, and he'll have a tough heat with last year's runner up and Hawaiian local Jaime O'Brien.
San Clemente's Tanner Gudauskas and Huntington Beach's Timmy Reyes will follow, and heat 5 will be an interesting one as San Clemente's Nate Yeomans and Chris Ward go up against each other. Yeomans had a great showing last year, coming in fourth place after being the only non-Hawaiian to make the finals.
The last Orange County surfer to take to the water will be Pat Gudauskas, who will be trying to earn points to get back on the World Tour after getting knocked off the bubble at the end of last year.
This first event of the year allows up-and-comers and local Hawaiians a chance to jump up in the pro rankings as well as earn some of the $130,000 purse.
"I've been excited to do this event for a few years, but injury has prevented me from it," Pat Gudauskas said in an interview with the ASP.
Last year's event saw young John John Florence claim a last-second win against former champ O'Brien. Florence had just 10 seconds left on the clock before nabbing a 9.93 barrel, which solidified his win after he scored an earlier 10-point ride.
The waiting period for the Volcom Pipe Pro started Sunday and runs through Feb. 7, with the event running on the best four or five days. Watch it live at volcompipepro.com

Former Groton Utilities worker, accomplice arrested for attempting to steal copper from workplace
Groton — A former Groton Utilities worker and his accomplice were arrested Saturday morning for allegedly attempting to steal scrap copper and stainless steel from the utility company's yard.
Former employee James C. Murphy, 37, of 14 Hillcrest Ave., Ledyard, was charged with third-degree burglary, first-degree criminal trespass and criminal attempt to commit sixth-degree larceny.
Christopher Watrous, 30, of Pomfret Center, was charged with first-degree criminal trespass and criminal attempt to commit sixth-degree larceny.
Groton City police said that at about 10:45 a.m. an employee at Groton Utilities had interrupted Murphy and Watrous who were attempting to steal copper and scrap metal.
Murphy remained in the yard until police arrived, but Watrous fled the scene.
Groton Town police and state police used dogs to attempt to locate Watrous, but were unable to find him. About two hours later, town police found him in the area of Buddington Road.
Watrous was released on a $50,000 bond and is scheduled to be arraigned on April 19.
Groton City police said Murphy, who is already facing larceny charges in an unrelated incident, was arraigned in court Monday. He is being held on a $25,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on April 26.

Good mornin' Boneheads.
It's a game day. I'll be heading into Manhattan later on, and hope to have a lineup in a little bit.
I want to thank our buddy, tr-808, for sending along this pic in regard to yesterday's No. 11.
Adam Graves wore it for one game, but he also wore it during the preseason, and tr-808 had this classic photo of No. 11 checking the Kings' No. 99 (unidentified) during an outdoor game in Las Vegas. Note the hooking and holding-the-stick infractions which weren't called in the good old, pre-wussification days.
Ten days until Opening Night.
10: The Scooter. Chris Chambliss.
10: Walt "Clyde" Frazier.
Fran Tarkenton. Eli "Lefty" Manning.
10: Oooh-La-La Duguay. Pierre Larouche. Esa Tikkanen.
See youse later.

The Kansas City Chiefs have heard enough about their last-minute collapse to Denver.
With a trip to Lambeau Field to play the Green Bay Packers on Monday night, the Chiefs will end an agonizing 11-day stretch since that disheartening defeat to the Broncos.
"They understand the challenge that's ahead of them," coach Andy Reid said. "Move on and learn from your mistakes and we roll."
But boy did the Chiefs commit some late blunders in the 31-24 loss at home to Denver back on Sept. 17.
Five turnovers, none bigger than a fumble by the typically sure-handed Jamaal Charles that was scooped up and returned by cornerback Bradley Roby 21 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 27 seconds left. No third-down conversions on seven chances. A late fourth quarter touchdown drive allowed by the defense.
All caught on national television in prime time. How deflating.
But the Chiefs (1-1) promise that they're not looking back. It just so happens that they get a chance to redeem themselves in another nationally-televised night game.
"Try to finish plays and just go out there and play ball and just finish plays to the best of our abilities," safety Eric Berry said.
This is exactly what the Packers (2-0) did on Sept. 20 when they beat the Seattle Seahawks 27-17.
Green Bay outplayed the defending NFC champions in the fourth quarter, inspired by a 10-play, 80-yard drive for the go-ahead score masterfully orchestrated by MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The defense came up with two turnovers in the game's final seven minutes.
"That was an emphasis coming into the season, finishing," veteran linebacker Julius Peppers said. "It's shown up in the games when we needed it."

"On behalf of the people of the United States, I wish all Muslims around the world a happy and blessed Ramadan.
Ramadan is a time for self-reflection, sharing and renewal. American Muslims make valuable contributions to our country every day and millions around the world will commemorate this month with acts of service and volunteerism to their communities.
Along with dozens of our Embassies, I will host an Eid Celebration in Washington for Muslims and non-Muslims to join together and reflect on our common values, faith and the gifts of the past year.
During this month of peace and humility, I wish the 1.6 billion Muslims around the world Ramadan Kareem."

Crest - Pro-Health Night Oral Rinse
So you brush, and you floss. What else? I recommend feeding the corporate hand of P&G and using Crest Pro-Health NIght rinse. Just swish it around for 30 seconds and feel a slightly cleaner mouth. The real benefit is visible the next morning. With CPC, (an anti-bacterial) Pro-Health night kills all sorts of nasty germs, reduces plaque formation and kills the bugs that cause gingivitis. It also helps prevent dry-mouth and its associated conditions. Your mouth will feel significantly cleaner when you wake up - not bad for 30 seconds of your time! Oh, and money. But it's pretty cheap and you only need a teaspoonful or 2 to get the job done. Best of all, there is NO burn! (I'm looking at you, Mr. Listerine.) Joox recommends for pearly white teeth.

Topic: Breakfast in Iowa
It's a beautiful day here in the heartland of our nation. Iowa is strutting her stuff with lush shades of green, punctuated by pops of the colors of flowers. The temperature is in the mid 70s and perfect for a breakfast on the front portico (that's fancy talk for a cement porch with a roof but no screens). I'm going to go out to sit on that porch and have breakfast, listen to the birds and watch the clouds drift by.

Sewickley Academy still has work to be done
From forever finished at the final four to finally in the final.
For the fourth consecutive postseason tournament, the Sewickley Academy boys soccer team advanced to the semifinals. For the first time over that span, the Panthers got through to a championship game.
After losing in the WPIAL and PIAA Class A semifinals last season and being eliminated in this season's WPIAL semifinal as well, Sewickley Academy got past the semifinals in the PIAA tournament earlier this week.
The Panthers beat Biglerville, 3-0, on Tuesday to advance to their fourth PIAA championship game. Sewickley Academy (21-1-1) plays District 2 champion Mountain View at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Hersheypark Stadium.
"They got really close to the state final last year but just couldn't get over that little hump there in the semifinals," Panthers coach James Boone said. "But I think the experience of being there before helped us.
"We have players who are really excited to go to Hershey and hopefully bring a title back to the western part of the state."
The run to the PIAA title game is helping Sewickley Academy maintain its first place spot in the Trib Total Media/WPXI High School Sports Award Class A standings.
Sewickley Academy has allowed only six goals in 23 games this season, including only four goals against in its 21 victories.
The Panthers have beaten two district champions in the PIAA playoffs, a Class AAA team (Moon) and what was, at the time, the reigning WPIAL Class A champion (Seton-La Salle) during the regular season.
With a roster that included eight returning starters from the WPIAL and PIAA semifinalist team of a year ago, Sewickley Academy always has had every reason to believe it had the capability to make it this far.
"We're a confident team," said senior defender Max Proie, a team co-captain. "We're not overconfident, we're not cocky, but we know what our skill level is, we know how to play, and we know how we stack up against other teams."
Sewickley Academy, which has won PIAA titles in 1997 and 2007, starts four seniors: Proie, defender Rob Nogay, goalie Hayden Moyer and forward/midfielder Jake Mullholland.
The junior class is just as strong, featuring forwards J.P. Bowell and Anthony Stinson, midfielder Steve Munn and defender Jack Matten.
Bowell has 28 goals.
"He's not the biggest guy on the field, but I tell you what, he's very tough to knock off the ball," Boone said. "He has good athleticism, and he's been around the sport all his life, so that experience helps. He's been starting since his freshman year, so he knows what it takes to win. His knowledge of the game is very, very good. He sees things other kids don't see, and that's what makes him stand out on the soccer field."
Still, Bowell's finishing ability would go to waste without skilled set-up men. Sewickley Academy has that all over the field, even among its younger players, Boone said. The Panthers' three new starters this season were freshmen.
"Our whole team, top to bottom, has been very good," Boone said. "We're very happy with where our players are."

Sarah Elizabeth Ippel '01
Spring 2010 TRINITY Magazine, Career and Calling: Called to Lead
Sarah Elizabeth Ippel '01
Major: Psychology
Title: Executive director
Sarah Elizabeth Ippel '01 takes a break from her duties as executive director of the Academy for Global Citizenship in Chicago to pour organic milk in the lunchroom and show a few of the third graders at recess that one of the roosting hens in the playground's chicken coop is laying an egg.
This is all part of the children's school experience, one in which a main theme—such as "where does our food come from?"—is integrated into every subject with the goal of the students learning in an "experiential and engaged" way through the implementation of the International Baccalaureate Programme. One constant theme and foundational component of the Academy's mission is environmental sustainability. This is taught everywhere—from the classroom lessons on renewable energy to the activities in the lunchroom, where kids separate the leftovers and trash from one of their organic meals among waste, recycle, and compost bins.
At recess, while planes roar overhead during take-off from neighboring Midway Airport, the kids swing, work in the schoolyard garden, and hula hoop within a perimeter of chain link fence and broad-leafed zucchini plants. Ippel takes off her suit jacket to hold Daisy, a schoolyard chicken, while some of the children pet it. She is not only the executive director but also the founder of this Chicago Public Charter School, located in one of the most underserved neighborhoods in Chicago.
"When I was a student at Trinity," she said, "I wasn't sure what I wanted to be, but I knew what I eventually wanted to do: create something I was passionate about that was aligned with my values."
Only a few years later in 2005, at the age of 23, Ippel was submitting a proposal for the Academy to the Chicago Board of Education. The Academy opened in 2008 and serves a diverse population, 80 percent of whom live below poverty level.
After receiving her bachelor's degree in psychology from Trinity, Ippel earned her master's in social and developmental psychology from Cambridge University in England. She has traveled extensively, visiting over 80 countries and observing effective educational practices across six continents.
Her global perspective is communicated in the Academy's mission "to empower all students to positively impact the community and world beyond" and includes a strong emphasis on beginning in the local communities.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/12/2012 (1704 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A hobby of mine lately has been investigating futuristic technology. Granted, most of the concepts and project ideas that I come across are completely ridiculous and never going to happen. But then there are those ideas that you run across and simply say "wow."
Google is one of the coolest companies on earth in my humble opinion. They offer so many services and products, it amazes me how the company stays organized. My life revolves around Google products. I use Gmail, Talk, Calendar, Hangouts, Google+, Google Apps, Docs, Maps, Search, and News on a daily basis. My whole personal organization and business technology structure is built off of Google apps -- I couldn't live without them.
Once I made the decision to say goodbye to my iPhone 4S and switch over to Android, all these services that I used every day amalgamated once I was on a Google smartphone. Everything is easy to use. Notifications work seamlessly, apps run fast, and the elegance of the OS is awesome. I absolutely love Android. Purchasing the Samsung Galaxy S3 was a very smart choice.
Now that my technology life revolves around Google services and products, hearing about Project Glass is very exciting to me.
For those who have never heard of Project Glass, here is a brief description from TechoPedia: "Google glasses provide an experience that is referred to as augmented reality, where images are superimposed over what the user is seeing in real life. With Google glasses, these images are generally icons that provide directions, alert the user to messages from contacts or give weather updates. Although this technology's potential has been praised as a futuristic way to deliver hands-free computing, critics have pointed out its ability to distract walkers or drivers and questioned its utility for those who already wear corrective eyeglasses."
Project Glass is essentially a look into the future of computing. Could you imagine wearing these glasses for most of your day? You simply ask what the weather is right now, what time it is. Email notifications pop up in front of your eyes. You can get turn-by-turn navigation -- the technology is incredible.
Time magazine has dubbed Project Glass one of the best inventions of 2012. Although the technology is not available to the public yet, many Google employees have been utilizing the product on a daily basis and making sure to take pictures of themselves wearing the glasses out to Google events.
TechoPedia continues: "Google Glasses is an informal name for a type of wearable computer created by the Google's Project Glass. These futuristic glasses provide augmented reality for users by visually connecting them to an Android-run heads up display that offers many of the features of an Android smartphone and connects users to many of Google's key cloud features, such as maps, calendar, Gmail, Google+ and Google Places.
In April 2012, Project Glass launched a Google+ page and revealed that Google researchers were testing the technology and hoped to have it on the market in the near future. Google expects the technology to cost about as a much as a smartphone." The price tag is the only downside to these glasses. Google thinks it will be able to charge $1,500 a pair. That sounds quite outrageous, does it not? You could buy an impeccably fast and beautiful laptop, desktop, or tablet for that price. The sad, non-augmented reality is that I would totally buy these glasses for $1,500.
What I really want to express and get across is that Google is the future. They are day in and day out pumping out absolutely incredible products, services, and ideas. They work off of such a great platform, and can build and revolve products around it. Just holding my beloved Samsung Galaxy S3 in my hands right now gets me excited about Google's Project Glass because I know that it will sync and work seamlessly. For all of those who do not use anything Google, start. Whether it's switching over your email from Hotmail to Gmail, do it. I strongly believe that getting with Google now, and using and loving their applications, will be a smart move because the futuristic technology that they are cooking up is going to be based around the simple services like Gmail and Google+.
Another few interesting futuristic technologies too look into are: Baxter, Tesla Model S, Self-Inflating Tires.
Thanks very much for reading guys, hope you enjoyed the column! I just wanted to wish each and every one of you a Merry Christmas. Have a great time with your friends and family.

• onomatopoeia •
Pronunciation: ah-nê-mæ-dê-pee-yê • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun, mass
Meaning: The status of a word whose pronunciation imitates its meaning, e.g. buzz, crack, clink, clank, clang, fizz, thump, hiss, sizzle and slurp.
Notes: English has few words with 4 vowels in a row. Unfortunately, they are not in alphabetical order in this six-syllable lexical delight, so we must simply memorize them. To complicate matters further, we haven't yet decided how to spell the adjective; both onomatopoeic [ah-nê-mæ-tê-pee-ik] and onomatopoetic [ah-nê-mæ-tê-pê-wet-ik] are at your disposal.
In Play: All languages sport onomatopoetic words. English has thud, crack, quack, tinkle, boom, squeal and mumble, just to mention a few. They are words referring to sounds made by imitating the sound itself. The words for the sounds that animals make are almost always onomatopoetic. Meow, cheep, cock-a-doodle-do, gobble, moo and caw serve to demonstrate the principle.
Word History: Today's Good Word may be traced back to Greek onomatopoeia, the abstract noun from onomatopoios "name-maker". This word is a compound composed of onoma(t)- "name" + poiein "to make". Onoma comes from the Proto-Indo-European root (o)nomen- "name" with a fickle initial O that came and went over the course of Indo-European language history for no apparent reason. This word made it to German and English as name and to Russian as im(en)ya. We find a variant, onym in many English words, such as pseudonym (false name), anonymous (nameless), plus synonym, antonym and several others. (Speaking of names, we cannot forget the name of Cat Waters, who was kind enough to suggest today's Good Word.)
