McKeesport Festival of Trees raised holiday spirits of needy
McKeesport's 28th annual Festival of Trees was more than just the perfect way for the city and the region to get into the holiday spirit. It gave all who attended an opportunity to help lift the spirts of those in need.
The five-day festival, which ended Monday, featured a live nativity scene, hayrides, a visit from Santa and 82 holiday trees decorated according to the themes of their sponsors.
Organizers hosted a food drive for the McKeesport-based Intersection, a shelter and soup kitchen that provides hot meals and access to medical care for the homeless and underserved. At least 18 large containers of canned goods were collected at Jacob Woll Pavilion in Renziehausen Park.
More than 1,000 people crossed the pavilion's threshold, festival co-chairs Pat Harris and Cheryl Myers Cotter said.
"People really came out to support the festival, even in the bad weather," Harris said. "We want to thank everyone who visited because they make this festival a success."
McKeesport native Shawn McPherson attended on the final day with his cousin David McPherson, 6.
David pointed to the McKeesport Fire Department's tree as his favorite.
"I like it," he said, looking at the fire trucks.
Shawn McPherson said the festival provided a great, family friendly atmosphere.
"All the trees have a story, and we hear the stories as they come in," Cotter said. "It's important to everybody."
Culinary students from McKeesport Area High School's Career and Technology Center worked the concession stand to raise money for field trips to restaurants.
Culinary instructor Anthony Gallaher said this is the second year his group cooked for the festival community.
"It's real-world experience," Gallaher said. "You get that short-order setup. I think they did well."
Semper Fidelis Club of McKeesport nearly sold out of its baked goods. Only a few cupcakes were left.
Attendees voted for their favorite trees as part of an informal exit poll.
"They all felt they were participating this year and everybody has loved it," Cotter said.
Top vote-getters were McKeesport Art Group's "The Games People Play," Joyful Bloomers Garden Club's "Birds, Blooms, and Butterflies" and AIU McKeesport Family Center's "Our Family Tree."
Six judges made their choices last Thursday, awarding ribbons to (in order of finish for each category):

Everyone's seen that pecilar peice of pink skin protrude from a hairy dog penis. When you roll you tounge into a tube, stick it out and gently tickle your lover anywhere you want, particuarly the anus. It works best when you make it a suprise. And it feels just like a dog penis.
Timmy demanded i bend over for some sodomy the next thing i knew i felt delicate moist flesh tickling me in the sphincter. I asked him what the hell he was doing and he responded "dog penis biatch." and smashed a two-by four over my head. By the way timmy is my Cocker Spaniel. But the tounge works too!

The 1950s were full of promise. The "American Dream" was seemingly within the reach of most Americans. It was a time of innocence. The economy was booming and optimism was the norm in the suburbanized post-war landscape of possibility. But over the next twenty years, life will change for the Setterberg's blue-collar family as tract homes proliferate, wages soar and then collapse, the inner cities burn, and another war begins in faraway place called Viet Nam. Setterberg takes us on a journey into the ordinary lives that build a country. (hosted by Justine Willis Toms)

Although the Australian government has claimed that Chinese investors are welcome, the Chinese government, Chinese investors and many commentators have argued Australia has treated Chinese investments differently.
If the government's policy towards Chinese investment is veiled, vague or confusing, the Opposition Leader's straight talk about Chinese investment in Australia in Beijing last year that "it would rarely be in Australia's national interest to allow a foreign government or its agencies to control an Australian business" was an unambiguous signal.
The Australian government has responded to Australian public concerns about Chinese investment. However, some of the concerns may have been based on misinformed facts.
The economies of Australia and China are highly complementary. Australia is rich in natural resources and needs a market. Chinese companies have imported a great of deal of Australia's raw materials and have flocked to invest in the Australian resources sector, which has left an impression with the Australian public that, between Australia and China, China needs Australia most. But a careful study of the facts may lead to a different conclusion.

About the Book
This suburban book contains work that is mostly from 1984 to 1992. If it didn't come from the cul-de-sac during those years it's certainly about that time and place. We still live on the cul-de-sac and through this book you can relive it with us. It's a mashup of words and photos that were never intended to be compiled; if we were to plan this, each of our egos would have stopped this project in its early stages, and we would not be talking to each other ever again. But, one thing led to another, and we realized how much we encouraged and supported each other's artistic voice.

About the Creator
I'm a second-generation photographer. I live in the shadow of the Matterhorn. Every one on the cul-de-sac knows when it's 9:35. The booms of Disney's fireworks are the heartbeat of our summer evenings. You can still see the bombs bursting in the air if you're young enough to climb the fifty-year-old tree in my front yard. I've attended the local schools, but most of my training in photography came from my family's photography business, which was started the day that I was born. I've been an artist exhibiting my work around the world since 1986 and a photography teacher at a local college since 1996. Photography is my life.

SRA Announces Preferred Bidder for New Integrated Wales Franchise
The Strategic Rail Authority (SRA) today announced that Arriva Trains Ltd has
been selected as the preferred bidder for the new Wales & Borders Franchise with
responsibility for operating all local and regional train services in Wales and
the Border counties. The decision follows a comprehensive competitive tendering
It is planned that Arriva Trains Ltd will take over the franchise by the end of
2003 and operate it for fifteen years, subject to five-year Performance Review
The key commitments contained within the new franchise include:
• Creation of an integrated Wales & Borders franchise structured around
services currently operated today;
• Introduction of seven class 150 Diesel Multiple Units planned from December
2004, leading to greater operational flexibility and resilience, to
replace current, less suitable stock;
• Introduction of 30 new integrated train / bus tickets by November 2005,
permitting many new opportunities for through journeys;
• Improved bi-lingual access, including a Welsh Language customer service
phone line, passenger timetables and information, full bi-lingual signage
and recorded station announcements at stations where there are existing
public address systems by May 2004;
• Introduction of the new, customer-focused 'Station Adopter' scheme;
• £400,000 on improving station car parks at Cardiff Central (Wood Street),
Chester, Hereford, Newport and Shrewsbury;
• Final development of a simplified timetable, making train services much
easier for passengers to use, as well as better performance and
connections, for implementation within the first three years of the
franchise for the Valley Lines and inter-urban services;
• Abolition of the £1 reservation charge for bicycles on trains;
• A better compensation scheme for passengers.
SRA Chairman, Richard Bowker, said:
'This is a major step towards the new integrated Welsh franchise. The
specification of the new franchise has been designed to encourage more people to
use rail and places a strong emphasis on local accountability and management.
This has all been achieved through a partnership between the Welsh Assembly
Government and the SRA. Arriva now have a short period in which to reach
Franchise Agreement signature with the Authority, with the aim of taking over
the franchise by the end of the year.'
Notes to Editors
1. The Wales & Borders franchise includes all local and regional passenger
rail services within Wales, services from Cardiff to Hereford, Shrewsbury
and Manchester, and those from Wales to Birmingham, North West England and
the West Country. The services are currently operated under existing
franchise agreements by National Express Group plc, using the 'Wales &
Borders' branding - with the exception of services in North Wales and parts
of the North West of England, currently operated by First Group plc (as
First North Western).
2. The new franchise will include the operation of all stations in Wales, and
those predominantly served by the new franchise in the border counties,
including Chester, Shrewsbury and Hereford. It will include the current
Passenger Service Requirement as well as additional service commitments.

Pharmacists are copping abuse and threats from customers refused addictive over-the-counter pills, in outbursts some have dubbed "codeine tantrums".
Without any official way to keep track of codeine sales, pharmacists say they are unable to identify addicts who could be at risk of horrendous internal injury such as acute renal failure.
Popular codeine tablets taken in large amounts have caused at least nine deaths in Victoria since 2001, but industry experts say there is a common view all over-the-counter drugs are ''harmless''.
In Melbourne, pharmacist Adam Spiteri deals with up to four codeine tantrums an hour.
Recently, a man hurled a paracetamol packet at front-counter staff, spitting expletives, because he was told Nurofen Plus was not the appropriate medication for his headache.
In 2010 laws were changed, requiring pharmacists to be involved in all sales of codeine. Mr Spiteri said simply telling people that they had to see a pharmacist for the medication could set them off. "I've been called every name under the sun," he said.
There are now widespread calls for a real-time drug monitoring system to be introduced in pharmacies, making it easier to identify "genuine" users.
Even the industry body that represents many drug companies is in favour of personalised electronic health records, but opinion is divided on whether to ban over-the-counter codeine sales altogether.
The Australian Self Medication Industry's Deon Schoombie said people who went to the doctor for a codeine prescription could end up with stronger doses of the drug. The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia and Pharmacy Guild do not support making codeine tablets prescription-only, but believe the issue needs to be debated.
Victorian researchers say pharmacists are forced to stereotype customers based on their appearance and clothing, because they have no objective way to recognise codeine-hooked patients.
One pharmacist told a La Trobe University study "you're judging them by their appearance which is not good to do but you have to".
A 42-year-old man with a codeine dependence said he was more likely to be sold "48 tablets at a time" by a pharmacist if he was dressed in a suit and tie, according to a statement in another 2013 study.
"When I was in track pants and in my jumper they looked at me warily and a couple of them wanted to know my name and write it down," he said.
The Pharmaceutical Society of Australia's Irvine Newton said he often doubts he has made the correct decision when dispensing codeine, because of difficulties identifying problem users. "Each pharmacy has their own way of trying to respond, but we're all struggling," he said.
The federal health department says it has already funded a national controlled drugs electronic register, but it is up to each state and territory to implement it.
A spokesman for Victorian Health Minister David Davis said the government was currently "considering" a business plan "that analyses the options and potential costs" of implementing the system.
Recently some pharmacists have started to use a database set up to track pseudoephedrine ''runners'' to log codeine sales, an unofficial measure not supported by governing bodies.
This has allowed them, for the first time, to glimpse the lies they are being peddled.
This month a Melbourne pharmacist was told by a man who wanted Nurofen Plus that he only used it "occasionally" for back pain.
But the database showed he had been buying a packet every couple of days from numerous stores over the last six months, when the drug should only be used for "a few" consecutive days at most.
More than 1 million codeine packets are sold in Australian pharmacies each month.

No. 6 Indiana rebounded in a big way by routing Mount St. Mary's, 93-54.
IU, 10-1, lost its first game of the season earlier this week to Butler. The former No. 1 team took out their frustration on Mount St. Mary's.
The Hoosiers connected on nearly 71 percent (!!) of their field goals, including hitting 75 percent of their shots from the three-point line. IU finished with 27 assists. They shared the ball in a way that wasn't seen against Butler.
Indiana's also played much better defense against the Mountaineers, holding them to just 31 percent shooting.
Turnovers were still a concern for IU as coughed up the ball 19 times, including 12 stole possessions.
Five different Hoosiers finished the night in double digits in points.
Cody Zeller and Will Sheehey both had 16 points. Christian Watford had 15 points and eight rebounds.
Victor Oladipo had more high flying dunks and finished with 14 points. He also had five rebounds, five assists, and three steals.
Yogi Ferrell had eight points to go along with his nine assists. Remy Able connected on all five of his field goals and ended the night with 12 points.
Jordan Hulls was 3-for-3 for eight points and five assists.
Derek Elston returned from a knee injury for IU. He only played nine minutes, but managed two point, two rebound and a block.
Jeremy Hollowell didn't play and it appears in may have been illness related. Maurice Creek also didn't play and coach Tom Crean stated in his post game press conference that he will be out indefinitely with a right foot injury.
The Hoosiers will be in action again on Friday against Florida Atlantic.Tags: Cody Zeller, Indiana, Indiana Hoosiers, Mount St. Mary's, NCAA, Tom Crean, Victor Oladipo

Gabby Douglas Responds To Hair Controversy
Just like many of you who've been following the Olympics, I was truly disgusted when some people chose to focus on gymnast Gabby Douglas' hair rather than her history making achievement of becoming the first African American to earn a gold medal as the women's gymnastics all-around champion. Finally, the Virginia Beach native is speaking out on the controversy. On Sunday while speaking to several media outlets, Gabby said:
"I don't know where this is coming from. What's wrong with my hair? I'm like, 'I just made history and people are focused on my hair?' It can be bald or short, it doesn't matter about (my) hair."
"Nothing is going to change. I'm going to wear my hair like this during beam and bar finals. You might as well just stop talking about it."
"I don't think people should be worried about that. We're all champions and we're all winners. I just say that it's kind of, a stupid and crazy thought to think about my hair."
So for everyone who's criticized the condition of her hair, the question remains: how fabulous did your hair look the last time you were making history? Don't worry, I'll wait…

Emily Ratajkowski may not be a household name yet, but with the help of Robin Thicke, she's getting there.
The 21-year old model--who appears in various states of undress in Thicke's controversial video "Blurred Lines"--has just been cast in the Ben Affleck film "Gone Girl". The movie will be directed by David Fincher and is produced by Reese Witherspoon, and is based on the best-selling novel by Gillian Flynn. Ratajkowski took to Instagram to announce the new role, saying, "So happy to announce my casting in David Fincher's 'Gone Girl' opposite Ben Affleck!!!"
The young model has been building up her resume with appearances on "iCarly" and "New Girl", but a role in a Fincher film could do wonders for a burgeoning career. Ratajkowski will play Andie, a beautiful college student who has an affair with Ben Affleck's character; when police look to him as a suspect in his wife's disappearance, the affair is revealed, and all credibility is lost.
The film will also star Rosamund Pike, Carrie Coon, Tyler Perry, Kim Dickens, Patrick Fugit and Neil Patrick Harris. Shooting is slated to begin this fall.

One of the most important Victorian houses in Britain may become the subject of a bidding war between the National Trust and pop star Kylie Minogue.
Tyntesfield, in Somerset, was the home of Lord Wraxall, who died last summer, and is to be offered for sale next week by the executors of his estate for Ł14.5million ($39million).
Selling agents, FPD Savills, need not look far for a buyer.
Such is the architectural significance of Tyntesfield that the National Trust is keen to buy the listed house and 150 of its adjoining 757ha in order to preserve it for the nation.
It would be the first country house that the Trust has acquired in more than 10 years, but the purchase depends on funds to match the asking price and to secure its continued maintenance becoming available.
But rumours suggest the trust faces a rival bidder for the gothic revival property because it is said to have caught the eye of Kylie Minogue.
The diminutive Australian singer, whose fortune is estimated at Ł27 million, may find funds more readily than the trust.
Tyntesfield's origins are based on a less fashionable fortune, however. It is largely the creation of William Gibbs, who imported bird droppings from the Pacific in the 1820s - guano was a popular Victorian-period garden fertiliser.
With his business based in Bristol, Gibbs searched for a site on which he could build a home that suitably reflected his immense standing as one of the wealthiest merchants in the west country.
In 1839 he bought Tyntes Place, an unassuming country house with a few hectares of land, and spent the next three decades building up its estate to 1215ha.
In the 1860s he commissioned architect John Norton, a follower of Augustus Pugin, to remodel the modest home into one of the most exuberant expressions of gothic revival architecture in Britain.
By the time that Norton and other architects employed by Gibbs's successors had finished, the house had numerous reception rooms, a vast chapel and one of the most spectacularly lavish interiors of its time. Unlike many of Britain's great country houses, the Tyntesfield estate has remained largely intact over the past 140 years.
Although the Wraxall family - as, in 1928, the ennobled Gibbs family became - were generous hosts and entertained, among others, Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, the late Queen Mother, at their home, they were intensely private and the house had never been open to the public.
As well as the main house, the estate includes Belmont House, a further mansion, two farms and 31 small cottages and houses.
The sale of the estate precedes a possible disposal of the house contents this autumn by Christie's.
Such is the scale of Tyntesfield that any sale, which would include furniture by Crace and old master paintings, would be expected to last five days. The National Trust, however, is keen to keep the house and contents intact.
The late Lord Wraxall had no children and his title passed to his brother, Eustace, who is a former diplomat. The estate itself, however, is to be divided between as many as 19 heirs.

J. Johnson, Carr Miss Practice
The Ravens were missing a few players in Sunday's practice, which lasted nearly three hours. Included in that group were linebacker/defensive end Terrell Suggs (heel), wideouts Mark Clayton (hamstring) and Demetrius Williams (hamstring), and offensive tackle Stefan Rodgers (undisclosed), all of whom have been out for more than a week. But newcomers to the Ravens' [...]
Mortenson's Tour Hits Westminster
The Ravens welcomed a special visitor to training camp on Sunday, as ESPN reporter Chris Mortenson took his training camp tour to Westminster, Md. Mortenson, who is traveling to 22 different training camp sites, was on the field in the shadow of his bus, which includes multiple televisions, a wireless Internet connection, a full-size bed, [...]
Harbaugh, Team "Working"
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh suited up in his work uniform for Saturday's practice just like the players were their uniforms on the field. Harbaugh sported a blue button-down top that resembled the classic mechanic shirt, complete with a nameplate sewn above the left breast pocket. Each player and coach actually owns one. According to [...]
Beck Does Not Need Surgery
Ravens quarterback John Beck does not have a tear with his shoulder injury, but could miss more than just a few days. Beck was not on the field Saturday for practice, and instead the Ravens signed rookie Drew Willy from the University of Buffalo. Willy was with the Ravens during offseason minicamps. Beck originally sustained [...]
Sizzle, Clayton Still Out
The Ravens got back to practicing on a cool Saturday morning in Westminster, Md., with most of the team intact. Even so, a few key players were not on the field. Linebacker/defensive end Terrell Suggs (heel), receiver Mark Clayton (hamstring), quarterback John Beck (undisclosed), wideout Marcus Smith (knee), linebacker Dannell Ellerbe and offensive tackle Stefan [...]
Mason Hurts Finger
Ravens receiver Derrick Mason was the latest at his position group to miss practice time, as he left Tuesday's session with what seemed to be an injury to his finger. Mason received medical attention when he tried to reel in a low-thrown pass from quarterback Joe Flacco. After spending some time with Ravens trainers, Mason [...]
Heat Keeps Competition High
The Ravens spent a large part of Monday's morning practice in 11-on-11 drills, and the competition was at a high level. Perhaps that was in part due to the heat, as Monday morning was the second scorching day in a row. When I got in my car at McDaniel College, the thermometer read 97 degrees. [...]
Williams, Heap Also Sit
Ravens receiver Demetrius Williams and tight end Todd Heap both ended their Monday morning practices early. According to offensive coordinator Cam Cameron, the Ravens were aware of Williams' hamstring and Heap's back before getting started. As a precautionary measure against further affecting the injuries, Cameron and Baltimore's medical staff held the two players out at [...]
First Big Fight of Camp
There was a minor scuffle in Friday's training camp practice, but Saturday featured the first real fight.

My husband has converted to the "Glow" side!!

My husband has converted to the "Glow" side!!
I have really bad eyesight so an ereader is a must for me because I am able to enlarge the text, making it a pleasure once again to read. I was very happy with my 1st Gen Nook, but it was a "brick".
I'll admit I am not up to date as far as technology goes, which explains why, when they started advertising the Nook Glowlight, I was a little surprised to find out that there was the NST
My husband has been resistant to ereaders because he really enjoys the "feel" of a real book (as did I), and hated the weight of my 1st Gen Nook.
I had originally put my name of several B&N stores lists for the Glow, so when I got mine I cancelled all the others (I thought). Then about a week after I got mine, a store called to tell me it was in. With a little prodding, I talked my husband into going down and buying it.
My arguments? Our library is open very odd days/hours making it hard to get to. The late fees went up, again. My husband has a voracious reading habit, usually having 2 or 3 books going at once, and no room on the night stand. He is always falling asleep while reading, losing his place consistently. It will be 10pm at night (or other time when we can't get to the library) when he realizes he's out of books.
I am happy to say that my husband has been brought over the to "Glow" side! He has enjoyed using our states digital library at all hours, and loves having his place saved on each of the 3 books he has going right now. He also likes being able to take "all" his books with him in such a small, portable way.
We are both very happy with our Glow and are enjoying reading more again!

Jenkyns ices club crown
Women's rink delivers another President's Cup championship at St. Albert Curling Club
Saturday, Mar 29, 2014 06:00 am
The perennial President�s Cup winners at the St. Albert Curling Club slide into the Dominion playdowns this weekend as the defending provincial women�s champions.
The return trip to the Dominion Curling Club Canadian Championships started Friday for the Lauren Jenkyns rink against Trina Ball of the Avonair, but the score from the Ottewell was unavailable at press time.
Visit www.northernalbertacurling.com for results and draw times.
Three qualifiers in the 18-rink competition advance to the Dominion provincials in October at the Edmonton Garrison Curling Club.
�We�re going in once again really focused and as long as we�re playing like we did tonight we should have a pretty good shot,� said third Kathy Piper after Wednesday�s 7-2 win in six ends against Maureen Forbes in the A-B final in the St. Albert playoffs.
�We really can�t wait. We�re just very excited knowing that nationals are in Halifax (in November). That�s a real incentive now that we�ve actually been to nationals.�
Jenkyns finished 3-3 in pool play at the fifth annual Dominion nationals last year in Thunder Bay, Ont. curling with Piper, second Laurie Schreiner and lead Diana Backer.
At the club level the Wednesday night team with Cindy Bobowik at lead have lost only one game this season when the provincial champs were at nationals and Bobowik and three spares filled in.
�I think we�ve played our best as a team at provincials (4-0 at Fort St. John in October). We weren�t right on when we got to nationals. There were so many new things for us: the rules were a little bit different, the practice session. We were first on live stream. It was a little bit of pressure for us, even just the pressure of knowing everyone is back here rooting for us as well,� Piper said.
In the last round robin game in the grey pool, and Team Alberta needing a win to force a tiebreaker, Stacey Fordyce of the Brandon Curling Club prevailed 9-7 in the extra end after gassing a 7-2 lead after five ends.
�We played our best game against the Manitoba girls who won it all,� Piper said.
Next year Jenkyns will represent St. Albert at the Dominion northerns after going 4-0 as the 2014 President�s Cup champion.
It�s the eighth club title in a row for Piper and Schreiner, Jenkyns� third and Bobowik�s first with the team.
�I�m shocked and really happy that we were able to pull it off again,� Piper said. �Every year it�s sweeter because we know there is a target on our back. There are always teams that are determined to come out and take us down.�
This is also the first full season with Jenkyns as skip after the team�s youngest curler was promoted from third when motherhood forced last-rock shooter Christina Monk to the sideline.
�Lauren is an awesome player. She has been able to pick up the pieces whenever we�ve fallen. She is an amazing curler and has really picked up the whole skipping thing,� Piper said of the media shy lead on Doug McLennan�s longtime mixed President�s Cup championship rink.
In Wednesday�s final Jenkyns stole points in the first and second ends to lead 3-0 before Forbes counted one in three.
A three-spot in four by Jenkyns was followed by one in five by Forbes.
The teams shook hands after Jenkyns scored one in six.
�We thought they would come out and play really well and they did. They were just a little bit off here and there and I think we were too on certain shots,� Piper said. �For the most part I think we played exactly the way we expected to. We were focused and when we got the hammer we tried for two and of course tried to steal when we could.�
Visit www.stalbertgazette.com to view the President�s Cup team picture.
The plucky Wednesday night team of Forbes, third Cindy Scott, second Maureen Fowlie and lead Rose Pampu also lost to Jenkyns in the A final after defeating Lane-Clark and Mortensen.
In the B final Forbes swept past Merryweather for another shot at Jenkyns, winner of the St. Albert Centre Ladies Bonspiel.
The President�s Cup victory also punched Jenkyns� ticket to the 51st annual Edmonton and area Tournament of Champions, April 7 to 17 at the Saville Community Sports Centre.
Last year the A qualifiers lost the semifinal in an extra end to Ellerslie.
In 2010, when Monk was pregnant, Piper skipped the lineup of Jackie Rae Greening, Nicole Bellamy and Schreiner to the second Tournament of Champions� banner victory by a St. Albert rink since Cathy King won the inaugural women�s cities in 1993.
�We�re excited about cities,� Piper said. �It�s always tough competition and we would definitely like to finish higher than we did last year.�

5 Things to Know About Your Refrigeratorby Teri Tsang Barrett in How-to, February 15th, 2012
A refrigerator in tip-top condition provides prime storage conditions for your perishables and stops odors and bacteria from flourishing.
1. The temperature should remain between 30 degrees F and 40 degrees F. While freezers should clock in at zero or below, a refrigerator that hovers no higher than 40 degrees F is safest for food storage, as it inhibits bacterial growth.
2. Your refrigerator and freezer need to be cleaned each season. Freshen up the fridge and its contents by doing away with odors and lingering germs. Remove everything from inside, weeding out items that need to go. (Put edible odds and ends to use in everything-but-the-kitchen-sink salads, pizzas or soups.) Replace open boxes of baking soda, then take a bucket of water combined with a few spoonfuls of the replaced baking soda (it's still effective as a household cleaner) and wipe down every surface.

Aging NHP Resource
The number of elderly in the U.S. and in other industrialized nations is projected to grow rapidly, perhaps doubling within the next 25 years. Fueled by the expansive baby-boom generation, coupled with increased lifespan, record numbers of post-retirees will enjoy a longer period of time in their "golden years". But it is also anticipated that there will also be a concomitant escalation in the number of elderly who experience an increased period of time in a fragile state, encumbered by and progressive illnesses. This gradual loss of functionality or "healthspan" will be a significant challenge for health care management, social services, and benefits programs.
The National Institute on Aging (NIA) was created by Congress in 1974, to meet the emerging aging challenge, with a focus on the extension of the "health-span" of people. In order to accelerate research on aging and its diseases, the NIA helped create and maintain models for the study of human aging, which include rodent populations and the highly translational Primate Aging Study (PAS). The PAS program has provided support for the formation and maintenance of colonies of aged nonhuman primates at ONPRC, as well as several other participating Primate Centers. The PAS colonies take advantage of the existing resources and infrastructure at the NPRCs to produce and maintain this vital research model.
To enhance aging research at ONPRC, the Aging Nonhuman Primates Resource was created in 1999, with the following programmatic goals:
- Manage the enrollment of animals into the PAS program.
- Provide technical and veterinary consultation to for research efforts.
- Promote collaborative efforts in basic and clinical science.
- Collect biomarker information using non-invasive techniques, such as in vivo scans.
- Support project development and coordinate animal assignments to projects.
- Maintain an aged tissue archive for scientific discovery.
- Explore the ONPRC database for age-related information.
The Aging Nonhuman Primates Resource also provides the foundation for the Biology of Aging Program. This research focus group was recently generated due to wide interest in aging by the researchers at ONPRC and OHSU, and will help create a multi-disciplinary approach in the study of senescence in the nonhuman primate.Steven G. Kohama, Ph.D., Senior Staff Scientist, Head

Singapore Rides A New Caffeine Wave
Less than two years ago, only a handful of cafes in Singapore served a cappuccino any coffee-snob would be happy to drink. But in a short space of time the city-state has been hit by a new wave of independent boutique cafes. Singapore has of course long been home to the thick and sweet "kopi" style of coffee, which is traditional to the region, as well as mass market franchises like Starbucks and Coffee Bean that seem almost as prolific as the city's hawker centers. But now, a booming expatriate population and a large number of Singaporeans returning from overseas work and study have created demand for specialty coffees, high-powered cafe machinery and more robust barista expertise.

When Crystal Kelley agreed to a surrogate pregnancy for a couple who wanted a fourth child, she never dreamed it would end with a bribe and legal maneuvers to force an abortion.
The drama started when doctors discovered that the baby Kelley was carrying had a cleft lip and palate, a cyst in her brain and serious heart defects. At 21 weeks pregnant, CNN reports Kelley was "absolutely terrified" about the next ultrasound and the parents' reaction.
But Kelley couldn't have imagined what came next. The parents no longer wanted the baby—and they didn't want her to carry the little girl to term. The parents wanted their surrogate to have an abortion. But Kelley adamantly opposed terminating the baby's life.
"I told them that they had chosen me to carry and protect this child, and that was exactly what I was going to do," Kelley told CNN. "I told them it wasn't their decision to play God."
But the child's biological mother wasn't about to give up so easy. CNN reports that she contacted the Hartford Hospital the next day to ask about different types of abortion. When Kelley failed to follow through on terminating the pregnancy, the parents offered to pay her $10,000 to end the pre-born baby's life. And when Kelley refused the money, the parents hired a lawyer to intimidate her.
"You are obligated to terminate this pregnancy immediately. You have squandered precious time," wrote Douglas Fishman, an attorney in West Hartford, Conn., CNN reports. Time was of the essence because Kelley was 22 weeks pregnant. At 24 weeks it would no longer be legal to abort the baby. The lawyer threatened her with breach of contract because she had agreed to abort in the case of a "severe fetus abnormality," but Kelley still refused to kill the life developing inside her.
As an activist in the pro-life movement, I've read and written shocking stories about forced abortion, abortion "specials" at Planned Parenthood—and even a "kill your baby for free day" at an Orlando, Fla., abortion clinic. But the offer to kill a baby for $10,000 shocked me. Kelley got it right—who are these parents to play God? The parents said Kelley should "try to be God-like and have mercy on the child and let her go." While I understand the parents' fear about raising a child with disabilities, paying a kill fee for your own baby is not God-like.
Thank God for women like Kelley. I am sure she was under immense pressure as the people she committed to serve in surrogacy suddenly turned on her with legal threats and even allegations of extortion. When I consider the angst in her soul as she stood up against the two people in the world who were supposed to fight for their baby—and instead fought to end its life—it sends me to my knees to intercede for this champion of life.
Kelley has been sorely persecuted by other surrogates for her decision to defend life. Yet this self-described believer in life continues to speak out. I'm convinced she would have forever regretted the decision to abort the child in exchange for blood money, but she will forever have peace in her heart about fighting for life.

text: Hi, Seems like in6_addr isn't defined in ws2tcpip.h, it surrounded by '#if 0'. I believe it is not right to include <in.h> (and I was unable to include it). At the end of ws2tcpip I found a comment: /* * Watch this space. * These may get moved out to ipv6 specific header(s). along with other * standard structures and functions specified in RFC 2553. */ Standalone version of mingw have in6_addr commented out the same way and I didn't found where it is defined for now. I put definitions of in6_addr and sockaddr_in6 to socket.d and lisp.exe get built. Then unfortunately it raises SIGSERV. But this is another story. May be somebody more familiar with mingw suggests something. Most interesting thing is how it was built before. -- Best regards, Arseny

Toddler Scarf
This pattern is available for free.
One windy day my darling granddaughter asked me to make her a scarf, and one for her sister. So how can a grandma resist that kind of request? I certainly could not! Wanting something simple yet still pretty I decided on basics. By using the basic stitches, you get a natural wavy look to your rows and yet, it is so simple to work up you'll be surprised how fast you can make these smaller scarves.

About New York; On Top Where King Kong Once Romped
By DOUGLAS MARTIN
Published: September 7, 1988
At the age of 18, Laura Fries landed her first job as a secretary in a hosiery company in the Empire State Building. She worked there for four years, but never deigned to visit the top of what was then the planet's tallest building. ''I was a New Yorker,'' she explained. ''I knew New Yorkers don't do touristy things.''
Mrs. Fries, now 47 years old, has more than made up for lost time. Prancing around the 86th-floor observatory as if she owns the place, she gestures to the clock on the Metropolitan Life Building, which she allows might seem matter-of-fact until you realize the clock is three stories tall. She points to the Flatiron Building - ''the first skyscraper'' - and confesses a particular liking for the view in late afternoon, when chaise lounges materialize outside penthouses. The World Trade Center just might look like the boxes in which the elegant Empire State Building came, but Mrs. Fries is not entirely sure that would be a nice thing to say.
''Nights are best,'' she said. ''It's like you're looking at the sparkling city from an airplane that never lands.''
Lest Mrs. Fries seem an incurable romantic, think again. For over three years she has been the Empire State Building's director of observatories and haunts King Kong's preferred piece of architecture because she is paid to haunt it. It is serious 60-hour-a-week work. At one point, Mrs. Fries grabs a rag from a worker and ferociously polishes a metal fixture herself. The embarrassed worker gets a chance to repeat the job. ''It's not a matter of being tough,'' Mrs. Fries insisted afterward. ''It's a matter of right and wrong.'' Mrs. Fries, an effervescent Portuguese-American, must be doing something right. Each of her three years has seen record attendance, with last year's total surpassing 2 million for the first time and this year's crowds exceeding that pace by 15 percent. A major reason has been a surge of foreign tourists. Because of the multifarious languages heard in elevators, Mrs. Fries has taken to calling the Empire State Building ''the true Tower of Babel.''
The attraction transcends the edifice's 60,000 tons of steel, 10 million bricks and 6,000 windows in much the manner the Eiffel Tower transcends its metal frame. Mrs. Fries thinks the Grand Canyon is an apt comparison.
''We're a colossus, a monolith, a myth,'' she said, sputtering as she groped for yet more adjectives. Truth to tell, the
Empire State Building is fraying at the edges. Some elegant mahogany elevators are sadly damaged.
Attempts to control grafitti in the small upper observatory at the 102d floor have been met almost instantly with gougings of romantic commitments. ''But no four letter words - except love,'' Mrs. Fries noted. And, now, smoke damage from a fire on Aug. 12 means another repainting will be necessary -with equally predictable results.
Still, Mrs. Fries has made progress in things from cleaning to marketing to getting rid of police-style uniforms for the guards. And that figures to be just the beginning. ''I'm moving on to the next phase,'' she declared, declining to elaborate.
Mrs. Fries's journey from the hosiery company on the 14th floor of the Empire State Building to the summit was circuitous. There was marriage, a child and the following of her husband's career south to Texas and north to Canada while grabbing a college education on the run. Friendships with executives of Helmsley-Spear Inc., for whom Mrs. Fries had worked years earlier, became the ticket to the top of the building the company manages.
It has become Mrs. Fries' domain. On a recent day, she stopped at the front information desk to converse with 77-year-old Hughie Brosnahan, who came to work in 1937 as a temporary employee and is still waiting to be told he can stay permanently. She pointed to shapes in the marble that some swear are angels, others contend are ladies sipping tea and still others think are people pushing shopping carts. Then there was a quick conversation with the young man paid to dress in a gorilla suit. He is tiring of the jokes.
Mrs. Fries then checked which elevators were in service, weighing this information against tickets sold. Always, she must be ready to order quick changes. Recently, three bulky Japanese sumo wrestlers were given an entire elevator that would normally have carried 20 people.
Next moment, she is making plans for the New York Attractions Network, an alliance she started to promote tourism among the city's top attractions. And has the woman who worked in the Empire State Building for four years without visiting its summit made it to the Statue of Liberty?
''Not yet,'' Mrs. Fries said. ''But it's going to be there for awhile.''

INDIO - Father John Misty used a combination of humor, charisma and music to earn what he called a "victory, victory in the desert" at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on Sunday.
Father John Misty, real name Josh Tillman, told the audience during his set that "I feel like playing this thing now" before he picked up an acoustic guitar. "This thing is called a laptop."
That's Father John Misty in a nutshell and he kept the mood light and energetic with jokes and moves like picking up the mic stand, spinning around or kneeling to the music and most importantly infectious music.
Misty's band featured a lot of acoustic guitar mixed with experimental rock and folk that kept the set in constant motion during songs like "Funtimes in Babylon," "Misty's Nightmares 1 & 2," "Well, You Can Do It Without Me" and more.

FRANKFURT (Jul. 11)
A demand that the West German Government produce an official record of the facts of the extermination and persecution of European Jews during the Nazi regime was voiced at the first conference sponsored by the World Jewish congress in Germany, which concluded here today.
The conference called for legislation making incitement to racial hatred a punishable crime. It also urged revision of all text-books with anti-Semitic material and the dismissal of teachers who foster anti-Semitism in German schools.
Other demands advanced by the parley included the speeding up of restitution of property and stronger legislation for indemnification for less of life, health and freedom. Assets confiscated from Nazi war criminals should be used for this purpose, the delegates urged. The Bonn Government was also urged to help transfer heirless and unclaimed Jewish property through authorized Jewish organizations.
The conference was attended by delegates of displaced Jews and Jews living in the German communities of the three Western zones and Western sector of Borlin, to "consider the urgent question of the welfare of the Jews of Germany, now and in the future, and to ascortain their views on general Jewish questions relating to Germany."
The conference decided to establish a coordinating committee to work out proposals for common consultations on action by Jewish organizations in the three zones of Western Germany and Berlin. The committee will be composed of three members each from the British and American zones, two each from the French zone and the Saar, and one member from the western sector of Berlin.

The 63-year-old was appointed interim boss after the axing of co-managers Gerry Britton and Derek Whyte.
But Lambie, who was still employed as associate director, said: "This is definitely a short-term visit for me.
"I really was rooting for Derek and Gerry and football can be a very cruel game, but the quicker the club can appoint a new manager the better."
Thistle had started the new season among the favourites for promotion from Division One, but defeat by Hamilton Academical on Saturday left the Glasgow club languishing in second-bottom spot.
"I never thought that I would be back as manager again and, at the end of the day, I hoped I wouldn't," said Lambie, who will be assisted by coach John McLaughlan and senior player Stevie Fulton.
"One thing in my favour is that I have seen most of the games this season and I know a lot about most of the players, but I could not tell you what has gone wrong as I have not been in amongst them.
"If we are being honest, it is the players that have got two good players of mine from the past the sack.
"Although I am only here for the short term, I will be looking for a big response from the lads and I set my sights high and I will be looking for nine points from three games."
Lambie's appointment coincided with the return of Brown McMaster as chairman.
The new chairman said: "We will be advertising for a new manager and John will not be one of the applicants.
"We needed someone to run the club and John was already here with the football knowledge."
The club have still to agree a severance package with Whyte and Britton.
"I really feel for them and I am sure they are two guys with great futures in the game, but we need to stabilise the situation as this club cannot afford to return to the Second Division," said McMaster.
Thistle say Hughes, a senior partner with accounting firm Gerber Landa & Lee, resigned his position due to increasing pressures of business.
Lambie retired from football at the end of the 2002-03 season after having kept Thistle in the SPL on their return to the top division.
He was succeeded by former assistant Gerry Collins, who was sacked after a matter of months, but Whyte and Britton could not prevent their side being relegated.

Baku, Azerbaijan, Jan. 9
By Umid Niayesh - Trend:
Iran's top nuclear negotiator and Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi have left Tehran for Geneva to meet with the Deputy EU Foreign Policy Chief, Helga Schmid, Fars news agency reported on Jan. 9.
The two sides will talk on the current issues of the Iran-p5+1 expert-level nuclear negotiations.
Hamid Baeidinejad, the director general for political and international affairs at Iran's Foreign Ministry, who leads the Iranian experts delegation accompanying Araqchi in the two-day visit.
The U.S. Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Wendy Sherman also will be in Geneva today to discuss the issue with Schmid and Araqchi, Reuters reported.
Iran and the P5+1 group held the latest expert-level meeting on Dec. 31, 2013. It should be noted that Iran and the P5+1 reached a nuclear agreement on Nov. 24. Iran agreed to curb some of its nuclear activities for six months in return for sanctions relief.
The U.S. and its Western allies suspect Iran of developing a nuclear weapon - something that Iran denies. The Islamic Republic has on numerous occasions stated that it does not seek to develop nuclear weapons, using nuclear energy for medical researches instead.
