The Note's Must-Reads are a round-up of today's political headlines and stories from ABC News and the top U.S. newspapers. Posted Monday through Friday right here at www.abcnews.com
Compiled by ABC News' Jayce Henderson, Will Cantine, and Janine Elliot
SOUTH KOREA/NORTH KOREA Wall Street Journal's Alastair Gale and Kwanwoo Jun: " South Korea Leader Disbands Coast Guard Over Ferry Sinking" President Park Geun-hye said Monday that she has ordered the national coast guard to be disbanded and a safety agency created as part of a package of reforms in response to the recent deadly sinking of a passenger ferry. Speaking in a tearful, nationally televised address, Ms. Park said she accepted responsibility for her government's poor handling of the April 16 disaster, which left more than 300 people dead or missing. "As the president is responsible for the people's lives and safety, I offer my sincere apology for all the suffering that the people have undergone," Ms. Park said, before stepping to the side of the podium and bowing deeply.

USA Today's John Bacon: " N. Korea Issues Rare Apology After Apartment Building Collapse" In a rare detour from Pyongyang's unrelenting narrative of a government that can do no wrong, North Korea on Sunday acknowledged that an apartment building collapse "claimed casualties" and placed blame on a high-ranking official. The state-run news service Korean Central News Agency said the building was under construction when it collapsed Tuesday in a Pyongyang neighborhood. Rescue operations concluded Saturday, KCNA said. No casualty count was released, but KCNA said the accident was "serious" and upset North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. LINK
HILLARY CLINTON ABC News' Benjamin Bell: " Bill Kristol Admonishes Karl Rove for Hillary Clinton Health Comments" ABC News contributor and Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol admonished fellow Republican Karl Rove this morning on ABC News' "This Week," asserting that his choice to weigh in on the health on former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was not an especially smart move."I don't think it was a particularly shrewd move," Kristol said. "I mean, we'll see how Secretary Clinton's health is. She'll be out there campaigning, presumably. I imagine her health will be fine. But, in any case, people can see for themselves, so there's no reason for Karl Rove to speculate about it." LINK
The Los Angeles Times' Richard Serrano: " Republicans say comments on Hillary Clinton's health are 'fair game'" Hillary Rodham Clinton's health and age are "fair game" for political debate if she decides to run for president, Republicans argued Sunday, even as Democrats called it "pathetic" for GOP consultant Karl Rove to suggest recently that she suffered from some kind of "brain injury" two years ago.Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, echoed Rove's remarks by saying that if Clinton decides to run for the White House in 2016, she should be questioned about a blood clot in her head that initially prevented her from testifying about the Benghazi terror attack of 2012. LINK
MAYOR JULIAN CASTRO ABC News' Jeff Zeleny: " Mayor Julian Castro Reportedly to Be Tapped as HUD Secretary" San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro will be nominated as secretary of Housing and Urban Development, two officials told ABC News. The White House declined to comment on the timing of an official announcement. The position must be confirmed by the Senate. The officials said the news was not intended to be disclosed, but apparently it leaked out because Castro's associates in San Antonio received calls from the FBI about a background check. It was first reported in a column in today's San Antonio Express News. LINK
Wall Street Journal's Nathan Koppel: " San Antonio Mayor Picked to Run HUD" Raised from a young age to become a political leader, San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro is now poised to head a federal agency that could position him as one of the national leaders of the Democratic Party. The White House has tapped the 39-year-old mayor to head the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in a cabinet reshuffle that would result in current HUD Secretary, Shaun Donovan, leading the White House Office of Management and Budget, according to people familiar with the matter. LINK
SECRETARY OF STATE JOHN KERRY Boston Globe's Matt Viser: " In Readying Yale Speech, Kerry Looks Back, Ahead" On a June day in 1966, John Kerry strode in front of his senior class at Yale University and, having thrown away a mundane text, launched into a speech raising doubts about the foreign policy doctrines that were inexorably escalating the Vietnam War in which he was about to fight. "An excess of isolationism has become an excess of interventionism," Kerry said. LINK
GOP The Hill's Peter Schroeder: " GOP targets consumer bureau" House Republicans are renewing their push to tighten the leash on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. On Wednesday, lawmakers on the House Financial Services Committee will discuss 11 different bills that would alter how the Bureau goes about its business. Republicans argue the agency launched by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has far too much power and too little oversight. LINK
VETERAN AFFAIRS The Washington Times' Jim McElhatton: " Obama warned about VA wait-time problems during 2008 transition" The Obama administration received clear notice more than five years ago that VA medical facilities were reporting inaccurate waiting times and experiencing scheduling failures that threatened to deny veterans timely health care - problems that have turned into a growing scandal. Veterans Affairs officials warned the Obama-Biden transition team in the weeks after the 2008 presidential election that the department shouldn't trust the wait times that its facilities were reporting. LINK
FORMER MAYOR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG The New York Daily News' Adam Edelman: " Michael Bloomberg would run for President - if he thought he could win" Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Sunday he'd be up for a 2016 presidential run - if he thought he could win. "If I thought I could win, it would be something to consider," he said on CBS' "Face the Nation" of a possible run as an Independent. "But you can't win, and I've given 12 years to public service and I'm not going to be a candidate for President." LINK
AT&T // DIRECTV DEAL Bloomberg's Alex Sherman and Scott Moritz: " AT&T Joins U.S. Pay-TV Overhaul With $48.5 Billion DirecTV Deal" AT&T Inc. (T) plans to buy DirecTV for $48.5 billion, gaining more than 38 million video subscribers at home and in Latin America and stepping up an acquisition-fueled overhaul of the $110 billion U.S. pay-TV industry. AT&T will pay $95 for each share of DirecTV, split between $28.50 in cash and the equivalent of $66.50 in stock, the companies said yesterday in a statement. That's a 10 percent premium to DirecTV's closing price on May 16. Including net debt, the deal values the largest U.S. satellite-TV company at $67.1 billion. LINK
Politico's Tony Romm: " AT&T To Acquire DirecTV In $48.5 Billion Deal" AT&T plans to acquire satellite TV operator DirecTV for $48.5 billion, the companies announced Sunday, marking the latest in a series of mega-mergers that are reshaping the cable and telecom landscapes. The deal would elevate AT&T, the second-largest U.S. wireless carrier, into a major player in the pay-TV business. The company would have 26 million video subscribers after combining DirecTV with its existing landline TV offering, U-verse. That could help AT&T bundle video and Internet services to better compete with Comcast, which is making its own $45 billion bid for Time Warner Cable. In another sign of industry consolidation, SoftBank, fresh off its successful acquisition of Sprint, is reportedly lining up an offer for T-Mobile. LINK
The Washington Post's Cecilia Kang: " AT&T, DirecTV Announce $49 Billion Merger" AT&T announced Sunday that it was acquiring DirecTV in a $49?billion deal that would create a new telecom and television behemoth to rival cable firms - while raising fresh concerns about competition and options for consumers. AT&T would gain DirecTV's 20?million U.S. subscribers, a company with strong cash flows and an ability to fatten its bundle of offerings. The combined firm would be able to offer phone, high-speed Internet and pay-TV subscriptions to more customers - packages that cable firms such as Comcast have sold most successfully. LINK
The New York Times' Michael J. De La Merced and David Gelles: " AT&T To Buy DirecTV For $48.5 Billion In Move To Expand Clout" AT&T agreed on Sunday to buy the satellite television operator DirecTV for $48.5 billion, trying to tilt the balance of power with media companies as the market for broadband Internet and video shifts. With the acquisition, AT&T becomes the latest telecommunications giant seeking to establish an even greater reach. Comcast agreed in February to buy Time Warner Cable for $45 billion, a bid to become the country's dominant provider of cable TV and high-speed Internet access. And Sprint, which is controlled by the Japanese telecom company Soft Bank, has made no secret of its desire to merge with T-Mobile USA, creating a serious rival to Verizon and AT&T. LINK

Hi Guys,
I have hit a serious wall and dont know what to do.... I have the following set up:
ONKYO Nr 717 Av reciever
Connected via pre out
Audiolab - 8200 DQ & Audiolab 8200 P which is used to power my fronts but also my audio hifi.
I currently have a massive issue with a hhhmm distortion coming through. The distortion is running through the whole system but seems to originate when I connect the audio lab to the AV stuff through the Pre-out.
I also seem to be having problems with my Sonos system that is connected to Audio I dont know whether that is related or just network issues.
So far I have done the following:
Made sure I seperate the speaker wire from power supplies
All connections are top quality inter-connects
I have got specialists power blocks to remove distortion on that side
I am not the most technologically advanced so there may be something completely stupid that I am doing. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is soo annouying and I really want to sort it out..

Skunks Invade Northland!
The snow is melting away, the days are getting longer, and it's becoming warmer. It's spring! Finally! And with the spring arriving, so does the smell of skunk. You must have noticed by now, I've seen 3 skunks already this year. Why do they come out at spring? And why are they always found dead on the road? To answer these questions, I did some research today. I was wondering if skunks actually hibernate over the winter. Well the answer is no. But they are relatively dormant through the coldest weeks. Spring is the mating season, and that's why you tend to see more skunks on the move. Most baby skunks or "kits" are born in May.
Last night we saw a skunk strolling through our front yard. We kinda freaked because we were outside. I wasn't sure how far a skunk could spray. After doing some reading up today, I learned that skunks generally can't spray more than 15 feet. And if you are that far away from them, they can't see you anyway. Skunks can only see about 10 feet. However they do have excellent smell and hearing, so they probably know you are there. Female skunks tend to spray more often, usually to protect their babies.
Why do we always see dead skunks on the road? It's the vision factor. They don't see you coming, and by the time they hear you they are off to skunk heaven. Skunks don't live too long either. The average life expectancy for a Pepe Le Pew is only 3 years.

Office Buildings That Really Stand Out
Boston Properties Inc., one of the nation's largest office landlord's, recently closed on its acquisition of 100 Federal Street in Boston for about $615 million, marking the biggest office deal so far this year.
That's noteworthy on its own, but what caught our attention was that the tower's shape had inspired the nickname the "pregnant building." So Developments wondered what other unusual office buildings dot cities around the country. It turns out that there are a fair number, some with pretty far-out designs.

Is your house at risk for landslide?
While Saturday's deadly mudslide could not be predicted, many are wondering whether their home is at risk.
The state Department of Ecology has stability maps that shed light on coastal slopes around Western Washington. All the data is based on aeriel photographs, geological mapping, topography, and field observations.
For example, the cliffs along Magnolia Blvd, inside Discovery Park, and areas of West Seattle are considered unstable "because of geology, groundwater, slope and/or erosional factors. They include areas of landslides and talus too small or obscure to be individually mapped. "
Many pockets along Vashon Island are unstable from a recent slide, but "investigations were carried out in the late 1970s; subsequent landsliding is not reflected."
There are large areas of unstable pockets along the Everett waterfront and in Tacoma.
Maps extend to the first 2000 feet inland from the shoreline.
The department makes it very clear that the mapping represents conditions as they were in the mid-1970s and human activities may have altered the stability since then.
Also, the department says the maps are for educational purposes and should not be a substitute for site-specific studies done by geologists and engineers.
Not only does the mapping section host aerial photographs of the area, it also explains slide types, how to prevent slides, warning signs, and what to do if you experience a slide.

desert dweller I'd say there's no clear right or wrong way of garnishing a cocktail just depends on if that garnish over powers or changes the drink too much. So I'd say us what you want, but make sure it balences it out.

For Gin, my preference is Bombay Sapphire. For Vodka, my preference is Luksusowa. my preferred Vermouth is Noilly Prat Original, but Martini and Rossi Extra Dry will do in a pinch. Bitters can be omitted if preferred. If used should be one drop only. Olive is my choice for garnish.

So while I love very dry martinis; I am not a fan of green olives. Is an onion permissible in a gin martini; or is that restricted to vodka martinis?

Need to purchase a high end Vodka and Vermouth for amartini drink for a party. What is recommended.

...my compliments to lyle on his excellent comments......I find them most interesting as I am also named Lyle (or one of my nom de plume, ginmarsni or the old codger) and have been a martini aficionado for 60 years.....my standard martini is Beefeater, up-dry-stirred-with a twist.....
posted 2 years ago
A dry martini is called "dry" due to its employment of dry vermouth and dry gin. A traditional dry martini does call for a lower ratio of vermouth than its Old Tom / sweet vermouth predecessors, but to retain any semblance of "cocktail," the ratio should be substantial. There is a common misconception that the "dryness" relates to the amount of vermouth, but this is a mistake along the lines of saying you are nauseous when you are nauseated. When made with a beautiful gin (sorry, Beefeater, you are good, but not great,) a vermouth to rival it, and quality bitters, the dry martini cocktail is a complex and balanced drink, well worth the extra effort. I like chilled gin as much as the next guy, but a cocktail it is not. My current favorite ingredients are St. George Dry Rye, Contratto Vermouth Bianco, and Ango Orange. If you're into olives, Castel Vitranos are the way to go. Everyone's idea of perfect is different.
posted 2 years ago
A "dry" Martini uses very little Vermouth. Just adding 2-3 drops to the shaker makes a perfect Martini, regardless of using Gin or Vodka.
posted 3 years ago
Agreed, lamachine, even while it is stipulated that this is a "dry" martini cocktail, the proportion of vermouth is much too low to call this a martini cocktail. I attribute this primarily to the dearth of good vermouths over the past few decades. But these days, with excellent vermouths (my favorite dry vermouth right now is Contratto's,) there is no excuse for an unbalanced approach like this. 2:1 up is a great place to start, once you've gotten your vermouth game together.
posted 3 years ago
I like 2:1 up and 3:1 rocks. At 5:1 this is a glass of cold gin. Not bad but not well balanced.

Mixed reaction to Rawtenstall town centre plan
11:30am Friday 14th March 2014
11:30am Friday 14th March 2014
OPINION is divided on plans for the future of Rawtenstall town centre following a public consultation on the masterplan.
Rossendale Together Barnfield Partnership unveiled initial ideas for the redevelopment, including a town square, a new bus station and grass-covered roofs.
Council leader Alyson Barnes said she was very happy with the turnout for the two-day consultation at Longholme Methodist Church.
She said: "It was fantastic to see so many people taking the opportunity to look at the plans and discuss the ideas with the architectural team.
"I think the plans demonstrate that we really mean business and are committed to doing what's right for Rossendale."
The plans have been put forward by the board, comprised of the council, development partners Barnfield, Together Housing and designers Day Architectural.
However the proposals were criticised by Rossendale MP Jake Berry, who said: "There were some interesting ideas, with what appeared to be a lot of steel, glass and green roofs.
"I'm worried however that it won't fit in with the rest of Bank Street.
"I'm sure the old Valley Centre looked fresh and modern when it was first built, but it dated very quickly and I don't want us to be left in the same situation in another 20 years.
"My personal preference would be for a development that is more in keeping with the traditional look of Bank Street that keeps as much open space as possible."
Camden Blomerley, secretary of Rossendale Civic Pride, said she was 'disappointed' with the designs.
She said: "The green roofs look good on an architect's drawing board, but in practice, they would be very unlikely to work.
"Once you take the green roofs out of the picture, you are just left with concrete and glass.
"This is such an opportunity, and I don't want it to go to waste.
"In order to attract businesses and new custom, the space needs to be used in an innovative manner, complimenting the buildings that currently occupy this conservation area."
The plans can be viewed via www.spinningpoint.com, and comments can be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com

"The new Snowden-Pencer laparoscopic scissors are very modular, so we can adjust a tray as we see fit to create a very cost-effective approach to our surgeries," said Dr. Ryan Tyner, a bariatric surgeon at Lovelace Westside Hospital in Albuquerque and Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. "I prefer to use the best instruments for my patients, and my personal opinion is that this is the best line on the market." That should make CFN shareholders smile with the same level of enthusiasm as the company's many product representatives. I also learned that for more than 50 years, Snowden-Pencer instruments from CareFusion have offered the medical community exceptional levels of performance and longevity. This harkens back to the days when CFN was a division of Cardinal Health ( CAH), which spun CareFusion off in 2009. CAH is a stock to watch. This $108 billion company headquartered in Dublin, Ohio, is in the business of improving the cost-effectiveness of health care in general. It also pays a 2.4% dividend! Back to CFN: The company also makes and develops market-leading technologies including infusion pumps, automated dispensing systems, ventilation and respiratory products, and services for data-mining surveillance. It has an extensive line of critically needed "interventional medicine" products. In the company's own words, "No patient, procedure or physician is the same, which is why CareFusion offers a full range of clinically relevant product choices for interventional procedures. Our products and services for interventional procedures are designed to meet individual patient needs and help physicians deliver positive clinical outcomes using minimally invasive and percutaneous techniques. "As an innovator in interventional medicine technologies, CareFusion offers unique products in a growing number of areas, including drainage, vertebral augmentation, biopsy and other diagnostic procedures." With such a diverse portfolio no wonder its profits are outstanding! Below is the kind of one-year chart an investor likes to see, both price-wise as well as CFN's trailing-twelve-month operating margin. It's almost picture perfect and when you take into consideration its most recent quarter's year-over-year earnings growth of 13.7%, you can see why the market likes CFN. CFN data by YCharts

It was nearly midnight by the time I got back to the hotel, and I was ravenous. I washed my face, used the toilet, took the elevator to the lobby, then hurried around the corner to the all-night restaurant.
I had eaten about 6, a sandwich in some forgettable coffee shop in some freeway suburb — it was 1962, long before fast-food clones took root in every suburban shopping center. I lived in a cheap downtown Los Angeles hotel where I shared a room with Jimmy.
It was the summer I turned 21, and I was just out of the Army. Jimmy was one of the guys I met in my first week working for PF Collier & Co.; if everything worked out, we were going to look for an apartment, maybe in Hollywood, after we got our first paychecks. A few years my senior and painfully skinny, Jimmy wore pinstriped suits and slicked his long, curly red hair with thick pomade. He was a likable, streetwise guy who had peddled magazines, cosmetics, brushes, housewares and now, like me, books.
I peered past a tired, rumpled hostess holding a menu and saw Jimmy at a table with a muscular, heavy-set man, a balding guy of maybe 40 wearing a dark sport coat over a bright polo shirt that was carefully buttoned to the throat.
I waved off the hostess and sat down next to Jimmy. The older man glared at me. I'd made a sale that night, one of my first, and I started to tell Jimmy about it. Abruptly he stood up.
"Come over here a minute, I've got to talk to you," he said.
"I'm hungry," I said. "Let me order first."
"It'll only take a minute," said Jimmy, who seemed strangely nervous.
He headed for the men's room, and I followed. In the dark corridor outside it he paused, turned around and lowered his head.
"You can't just sit down at somebody's table without being asked," he said.
"We're roommates," I said. "What's the problem?"
"It's not a problem sitting down with me. But that man is Jocko Conlon," he said.
The name was familiar, but I couldn't place it. I looked blank.
"He's a National League umpire," Jimmy explained.
"So what?"
"So, he can't be seen eating with people he doesn't know," Jimmy said, without rancor. He wasn't angry, just emphatic.
"What's the big deal?" I asked, crushed. "Why can't I eat with an umpire?"
"He doesn't know you."
"But he knows you."
"He's a friend of my family. Went to school with my mom. You better find another table."
Smarting with rejection, I ordered a sandwich to go.
In the morning Jimmy rose early and left while I was in the shower. We were in different crews, and by the time I returned that night, Jimmy was asleep. The next day he quit or was fired, depending on whom I asked. I never saw him again.
It was many years before I began to comprehend what Jimmy had meant that night in the restaurant; I have Pete Rose to thank for opening that door for me. Rose was observed dining with men whose faces and occupations were known to those who keep an eye on gamblers. An investigation ensued. Rose, the best hitter in Major League Baseball history, is not in the Hall of Fame.
But Jocko Conlon is.

EOS will join a group of other companies in presenting and discussing recent industrial advances and achievements at the International Manufacturing Technology Show's Emerging Technology Center (ETC). IMTS 2010 takes place Sept. 13-18 in Chicago.
The theme for the 2010 ETC is "Knowledge-Based," which applies to manufacturing, people and technology. The center, located in the North Building Lobby (Booth N-650) of McCormick Place, is being presented by the Association for Manufacturing Technology (IMTS' parent organization) in partnership with the Society for Manufacturing Engineers (SME).
"Our inclusion in the ETC shows how far EOS has brought the technology in terms of product durability and quality, and how close additive manufacturing—laser-sintering in particular—is to joining traditional processes as a mainstream manufacturing technology," says Andy Snow, EOS regional sales director, North America.
Attendees can also visit EOS at South Booth #8754, where it will be co-exhibiting with AgieCharmilles GF. Recently the two companies announced development of a joint process chain for toolmaking that combines AgieCharmilles' machining capabilities with EOS' additive manufacturing process for creating molds with optimized, conformal cooling channels.
For more information, visit EOS and IMTS.

I have an IdeaCentre K220 desktop running what I think is the original BIOS. I would like to enable AHCI in the BIOS to better leverage a SSD, but the only options provided to me are SATA = Enabled | Disabled and HDD Mode = IDE.
I have an Intel 6200 64-bit dual core processor. The current BIOS I am running is 58KT24AUS from 11/28/2008 with SMBIOS Version 2.5
I have searched for a later BIOS update for the K220 to see if the option for AHCI mode was added, but have not found any BIOS updates.
Where can I find a BIOS update to support AHCI mode?

GLENDALE — Behind a two-hit effort from starting pitcher Daniel Enzminger, a much-needed save from closer Brendan McKiernan and just enough timely hitting, the Flintridge Prep baseball team is advancing to the second round of the CIF Southern Section Division VI playoffs for a second consecutive year.
The Prep League runner-up Rebels punched their ticket to Tuesday's second round after a 4-0 victory over visiting New Community Jewish of West Hills in Thursday's opening round at the Glendale Sports Complex.
Flintridge Prep (15-7-1), which hadn't won a postseason contest in 14 years prior to last season, will take on Frontier League champion Malibu (16-12), which defeated California Lutheran, 17-1, on Thursday, at a place to be determined by a coin flip Friday morning at the CIF Southern Section office.
"We're playing some of our best baseball at the right time, which is great," said Flintridge Prep second-year skipper Guillermo Gonzalez, who improved his postseason record to 4-1. "If you look at our defense, we didn't make any errors today. Our pitching was strong, like it always is, and we got some offense."
Rebels starting pitcher Enzminger was in command for most of Thursday's game, as the senior was working on a two-hitter and opened the top of the seventh by recording an infield out.
The out was the last for Enzminger, however, who appeared fatigued and walked New Community's next three batters.
Suddenly the Jaguars had life with the tying run at the plate, which led Gonzalez to pull his starter in favor of ace McKiernan.
"I was almost out of gas and was running on pure adrenaline," Enzminger said. "I had total confidence in Brendan and knew he would finish off the game."
McKiernan delivered the Rebels into the second round and secured the shutout with a three-pitch strikeout followed by an infield grounder that quashed the Jaguars' last chance.
"I know Daniel wanted to stay in there," Gonzalez said. "but we had to make the best move for the team."
McKiernan's save capped a strong effort from Enzminger, who allowed only two hits, six walks and struck out five in 6 1/3 innings of work.
Prior to the seventh inning, New Community only placed a runner in scoring position when the Jaguars had runners on first and second with two outs in the third. Enzminger coaxed a harmless pop-up to the mound to end the threat.
On top of Enzminger's effort, the senior was backed up by a solid defensive outing that included an over-the-shoulder catch from second baseman Michael Weinstein in the second that led to a double play and a critical throw-out from catcher Cole Pilar in the third.
As for Pilar, the sophomore delivered the game's big blow when he lofted an 0-2 fastball on the edge of the plate from New Community starting pitcher Zachary Miller (four runs on four hits in four innings) into left field just fair that turned into a bases-loaded two-out, two-run double that plated teammates Robbie Leslie (single) and Isaac Kim (walk) and put Flintridge Prep ahead, 4-0.
"In that situation, with a 0-2 count, you don't go anywhere near the plate," lamented Jaguars Coach Rocco Barile. "It was a mistake, but I will saying pitching didn't cost us this game. You're not going to win games if you can't score."
The Rebels scored three runs in the fourth overall, with the first tally coming across on a wild pitch that allowed Scott Tsangeos to cross home plate.
Flintridge Prep's other run came in the first when Weinstein dunked a ball into left with two outs for a run-scoring single that brought home Hamilton Evans.
"We just love being in the playoffs," Pilar said. "It brings out the best in us."

Getting Produce to Cleveland's Food Desert
Posted March 21, 2014
Case Western Reserve University needs farmhands. Many parts of Cleveland need fresh food -- and host people who are in vital need of jobs. One might think that the twain would never meet, but CWRU has other ideas, with an innovative program to recruit workers, provide them with a $10/hour job including $40 worth of food weekly, and teach them farm skills. Plus, there's free transport on a shuttle bus. While the jobs would only be part-time, they'd offer a chance for a very different work environment, direct access to new skills, and a chance to bring in an impressive amount of fresh, healthy produce.
Cleveland landscapers ought to benefit from the program, as people with farming skills are also valuable in the landscaping trade. Meanwhile, participants could bring training back into their own communities to contribute to urban farms, backyard gardens, and more.View original post.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, the newest addition to the long list of comics-inspired movies, hits theaters this Friday. If the adorable Michael Cera isn't enough to get you excited about the film, don't worry – there's an app for that! Universal Studios has created a game that is reminiscent of the classic Nintendo game Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, in which Scott falls in love with his dream girl and must defeat 7 ex-boyfriends to win her over. Promotional games are an incredibly versatile way to get fans excited about a product or event – from iPhone apps to custom chess sets, this sort of marketing is a practically foolproof way to engage an audience. Having put myself in Scott's shoes and tried to defeat all of Ramona's exes in the virtual realm will sure have me rooting for him from my seat in the theater this weekend!

I have done it quite successfully in the past but strayed a few years ago and gained back the 35 lbs I lost. I am going to start induction again tomorrow and hopefully, along with my walking and Curves workouts, I will be able to take back off the 35 lbs and 15 more over the several months. Any other Atkin's followers out there?

Bolivian states vote for autonomy
Bolivians in two opposition-controlled states voted overwhelmingly Sunday for autonomy measures that aim to shield the country's remote Amazon basin from President Evo Morales' leftist reforms.
The Amazonian states of Beni and Pando passed autonomy measures by more than 80 percent of the vote, according to preliminary vote counts released Sunday evening.
Morales' quest to empower Bolivia's long-oppressed Indian majority has alienated a more mixed-race population in the eastern lowlands and fueled old grudges here against the national government centered in La Paz.
Government officials had encouraged Morales' supporters to abstain from voting, and pro-Morales groups in the small Pando town of Filadelfia burned voting urns to protest the referendum.
Scattered clashes between autonomy backers and pro-Morales groups in the Beni state capital of Trinidad left about eight people injured, according to local media reports.
State leaders hailed the measure as the latest step in a growing decentralization push that opposition groups hope will provide a counterbalance to Morales' populist government.
"We ask the country and the world to respect our sovereign will to be autonomous," said Beni Gov. Ernesto Suarez at victory rally in Trinidad, as autonomy supporters waved the green state flag and danced through the streets in traditional feathered head dresses.
"Tomorrow we can take our own way, our own direction, our own development," he said.
Rural Beni and Pando states _ among Bolivia's poorest _ have found common cause in the autonomy movement with their wealthier neighbor Santa Cruz state _ a hotbed of anti-Morales sentiment where 86 percent of voters opted for autonomy earlier this month.
Morales has dismissed all three referendums as illegal "surveys" by conservative opposition groups hoping to cripple his government.
"It's not a problem of autonomy," Morales said Sunday. "The problem is that they can't accept that an Indian from the countryside is their president."
Nevertheless, the president made a rare trip Friday to Pando's capital of Cobija to deliver a new fleet of ambulances and announced a US$6 million infrastructure project.
Morales won a landslide election in 2005 to become Bolivia's first indigenous president largely by drawing a long ignored poor Indian majority into the democratic process, a generation after the country's last dictatorship.
But with Bolivia now bitterly divided over his policies, anti-Morales opposition has coalesced around a a rival version of democracy based on states' rights.
A fourth state, Tarija, will likely join the cause in a referendum on June 22.
Statutes passed in Santa Cruz and on the ballot in Beni and Pando would protect huge cattle ranches and soy plantations from expropriation under Morales' land reform plan.

Spurrier and His Team May Not Be Done Drawing Attention
By RAY GLIER
Published: July 27, 2007
It is approaching time for Steve Spurrier to deliver on this notion of being an evil genius, a label he earned while coaching the University of Florida, where he won seven Southeastern Conference titles and a national championship, in 1996.
Spurrier is entering his third season as the coach at South Carolina, which does not have a football tradition and plays in a powerhouse Division I-A conference, and his stubbornness in believing the Gamecocks could become a force in the SEC is nearing a collision with reality.
Is Spurrier gambling with his legacy, or is he about to add to its luster with success at a place where few thought he could succeed?
''Him, worried about his legacy?'' Auburn Coach Tommy Tuberville, who knows Spurrier as well as any coach in the SEC, said Wednesday. ''I don't think so. Not him. He has that confidence that he is going to succeed.''
South Carolina finished 7-5 in Spurrier's first season in 2005 and 8-5 last season. The Gamecocks could be poised for a breakthrough in this year with 10 starters returning on defense and 6 on offense. Florida, the defending national champion, is trying to rebuild its defense, and two other SEC Eastern Division rivals, Georgia and Tennessee, are also in transition.
Spurrier seems undaunted by the task of winning at a university that has only one conference championship in the 113 years it has competed in football. He heaped even more pressure on himself this week when he said South Carolina's talent was close to that of Tennessee and Georgia, which annually are considered two of the most well-stocked programs in the nation.
''It's fun trying to win at South Carolina; Lee Corso said it couldn't be done,'' Spurrier said Wednesday, referring to the ESPN college football analyst. ''We have so many accomplishments that have never happened there that we have a shot at. I sort of feel lucky that I got a shot to be the coach to do some of these things for the first time ever.''
It is becoming harder and harder for Spurrier to deliver on his reputation because the SEC keeps adding to its credentials as the top Division I-A conference in college football. The conference now has four coaches with national championships -- Spurrier, Tennessee's Phillip Fulmer (1998), Alabama's Nick Saban (at Louisiana State in 2003) and Florida's Urban Meyer (2006).
A fifth coach, Tuberville, had a 13-0 record in 2004, an Auburn team many felt was fit to be a national championEven in the presence of coaches with solid r?m? Spurrier still commands attention. He was followed by a phalanx of television cameras as he made his way from interview to interview here at the SEC news media gathering.
Spurrier, who left Florida after the 2001 season to coach the Washington Redskins, faced a room full of print media and seemed as secure as ever with one-liners that gently poked fun at himself or rival Clemson.
Spurrier, 62, is the seventh-highest-paid coach in the SEC at $1.75 million a year, but his salary is dwarfed by the eight-year, $32 million deal given to Saban, and Meyer's six-year deal that pays him an average of $3.25 million a year. Those who know Spurrier insist that money is not his motivation, but instead it is the challenge of winning at a perennial doormat.
While this may be Spurrier's chance to move South Carolina up the ranks in the SEC, Saban, the first-year Alabama coach, is facing more of a challenge with the expectation that he will restore vigor to the Crimson Tide -- and it showed Thursday.
Saban arrived for his interview sessions in a black Mercedes with a driver, and his car was immediately surrounded by conference and hotel officials to keep fans at bay. A crowd of Alabama fans filled the lobby of the Wynfrey Hotel, and Saban had to come down a back entrance to get to radio interviews on the first floor.
In a testy exchange, Saban snapped at a reporter who asked how he was handling off-field incidents involving several Alabama players, suggesting that the news media was trying to make more of the story.
While Spurrier was greeted with cheers when he returned to Gainesville, Fla., for the first time to coach against the Gators in 2006, Saban was asked about the acrimony at L.S.U., where he coached from 2000 to 2004, and the reception he expected to receive when he returned. He said one of his former administrative assistants at L.S.U. had her tires slashed when it was announced Saban was leaving the Miami Dolphins to coach Alabama, a rival to L.S.U. in the SEC Western Division.
''I think we're very aware of the backlash; live it every day,'' Saban said. ''We have no ill feelings toward anybody. It was not our intention to create any of this by leaving there. It was not a personal thing to us. It was strictly a professional decision.''

How to save some green on Christmas trees
MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCIV) - It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. No matter where you turn, wreaths, Santa, and candy canes are sure to find you.
But the most treasured decoration of them all is that glistening Christmas tree.
"I just think people love Christmas, they love the holiday and they really get in the spirit after Thanksgiving and Christmas is, no matter how bad the economy is, people are going to have their Christmas and especially the tree," Jeri Martin said, a garden department sales associate at Lowe's in Mount Pleasant.
At the same time, trees are known to be pricey -- but is there a way to save some green on your tree? Experts said people just have to look a little harder and ask the right question to get those marked down tree prices.
"For it to get marked down to $10, it would have to be in pretty bad shape to where the trunk is split bad enough to where they had to cut it so short that there wasn't a lot of tree left," Martin said.
But you just have to ask, Martin said, and if that budget is tight a less than perfect tree could be the answer-- or perhaps, an easier option?
"It is amazing. We have sold almost all of our artificial trees; we have very few artificial trees left. They have sold like hot cakes we have sold as many artificial as we have fresh," he said.
And if you opt for the real deal, how do you keep the tree healthy all season long?
"Everyday you should check your water levels and make sure that the container you have your tree in is completely full of water because these trees when they leave here we cut off their base and the suck up water so you really need to check everyday," Martin said.

2010 Topps Chrome Ryan Mathews Superfractor Auto surfaces on eBay
He has the skills and abilities to be on of the best in the NFL. He replaced a legend on the San Diego Chargers roster when he was drafted in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. Ryan Mathews has very large shoes to fill and very high expectations to meet in just his first NFL season. Considered by most as one of the top rookies from this years NFL draft class, his sports cards have been selling very well so far into the season, despite his slow start to his career. His 2010 Topps Chrome Superfractor Auto is currently up at a 10-day auction, ending on November 3. While Mathews still may be considered a true project by some, there is no denying that the void that someone will need to replace in the Chargers backfield after LaDainian Tomlinson was released. Mathews has the makeup to fill that void very nicely.

Season Six of "Supernatural" kicks off on Friday, September 24th, with new showrunner Sera Gamble taking over from series creator Eric Kripke. While The CW seems to be currently putting most of its promotional muscle behind "The Vampire Diaries" and the reboot of "Nikita", they have thrown fans of the Winchester brothers a bone with a brief summer season promo trailer.
Returning for its sixth season, this haunting series follows Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, respectively), two brothers bound by tragedy and blood to their dangerous, other-worldly mission. This past season Dean and Sam faced their toughest foe yet: the Devil himself. As the Apocalypse raged on around them, the brothers, aided only by a dwindling band of fellow hunters and rebel angel Castiel (Misha Collins), sought a way to stop Lucifer and save the planet. Ultimately, they discovered a way to force Lucifer back into Hell and end the Apocalypse – but at tremendous cost: Sam's life.
Season 6 will be a season of mystery and shadow. Heaven and Hell have been left in complete disarray since the apocalyptic events of Season 5. And now monsters, angels, and demons roam across a lawless and chaotic landscape. And so Dean Winchester, who has retired from hunting and sworn never to return, finds himself being pulled back into his old life – pulled back by none other than Sam Winchester, who has escaped from Hell. The two reunite to beat back the rising tide of creatures and demon-spawn, but they quickly realize that neither are who they used to be, their relationship isn't what it used to be, and nothing is what it seems.

As a result of the flooding associated with Hurricane Sandy, it is estimated that thousands of vehicles sustained severed water damage. Such water damage can make a vehicle's electrical system, including airbag sensors, prone to failure. Based on past experiences with flood-damaged vehicles associated with Hurricane Katrina, it is very likely that many states will soon begin to see flood-damaged vehicle enter their used vehicle markets for sale, titling or registration.
The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) is designed to protect prospective purchasers of used vehicles from concealed vehicle histories. While the NMVTIS Junk, Salvage and Insurance Total Loss (JSI) program was not in place during the Katrina experience, the good news is the JSI program is now in place and insurance companies are required, by federal law, to report to NMVTIS any vehicle that they deemed to be a total loss. At this point we have heard that some insurers may determine that some of the affected vehicles may be repairable.
There is some bad news; the requirement to report to NMVTIS is on a 30-day cycle, therefore, it is possible that flood-damaged vehicles may appear for titling or registration, and a NMVTIS check may not show a report by an insurer if they had not yet reported it to NMVTIS. The Director of the Bureau of Justice Assistance, Department of Justice issued a memorandum to all NMVTIS JSI Reporting Entities to ask for their prompt, timely and complete reporting so that all users of NMVTIS information can make informed decisions regarding a vehicle's history and, in the interest of consumers, the vehicle's fair market value and safety.
AAMVA is also working with the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) to gain access to information that they are gathering from their members of vehicles that have been affected by the flood. We are currently working out the logistics of how we can provide access to this information to our members. Stay tuned for more details. Here are some additional links that can provide information that maybe informative: https://www.bja.gov/Programs/FloodDamagedVehicles_NMVTIS.pdf; www.nicb.org; and www.nsvrp.org

Wine has a rich history dating back to around 6000 BC and is thought to have originated in areas now within the borders of Georgia. Wine probably appeared in Europe at about 4500 BC in what is now Bulgaria, and Greece, and was very common in ancient Greece, Thrace and Rome. Wine has also played an important role in religion throughout history. The Greek god Dionysus and the Roman equivalent Bacchus represented wine, and the drink is also used in Catholic Eucharist ceremonies and the Jewish Kiddush.

what is probate?
Probate is a legal document. Receipt of probate is the first step in the legal process of directing the estate of a departed person, resolving all claims and issuing the deceased person's property under a will. A probate court also known as a surrogate court decides the legal strength of a testator's will and grants its approval by granting probate to the executor. The probated will becomes a legal document that may be imposed by the executor in the law-courts if necessary. A probate also officially appoints the executor or personal representative, generally named in the will, as having legal power to place of the testator's possessions in the way stated in the testator's will.
steps of probate
Some of the decedent's property may never enter probate because it passes to another person contractually, such as the death profits of an insurance policy insuring the decedent or bank or retirement account that names a beneficiary or is owned as a such thing as payable on death, and property legally held as jointly owned with right of survivorship.

One of the reasons I write historical romance is that I love conducting the research. For my May 2013 release, A Heartbeat Away, I traveled to Sharpsburg, Maryland, the setting for the bloodiest battle of the Civil War, the Battle of Antietam (Sharpsburg, for you southerners).
Sharpsburg is a very small town, unscathed by commercial development, a true gem of history frozen in time by the town's refusal to allow commercialism to mar what they have worked so hard to preserve.
I was taken on a private tour by Bob Murphy of RCM History Tours (RCM Twitter). His prices are very reasonable and he accommodated my desire to walk some of the tour. I stayed at the snug and very clean Mary Hill House.

Aside from the double-bubble 'hump' where the rear seats ought to be (gone, in the interests of weight-saving), the most obvious difference is the more steeply raked, lower front screen. This can even be unbolted at 'sports events' for an even more dramatic look.
There's also a single-lined hood that Porsche was always keen to point out was merely 'weather protection' and shouldn't be considered as refined or comfortable a hood as the one offered in the ordinary convertible models.
This particular Speedster has amassed a reasonably meagre 36,500 miles and seems clean and straight, but it's hardly a zero-mile time-warp car. And yet you'll need to part with £75,000 to get your hands on it. Compare that with just £25K or so for even a properly mint low-miler (more like £15k if you go for a more doggy example) and you'll see that there's rather a premium on that chop-top look.
There again, perhaps £75K is perhaps a bargain in Speedster terms - we also spotted this one, with a fetching shade of claret for the leather and roof, up for £89,000...

Everything new is old again. Here's a discussion from 2002 which quotes the rationale: http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/numpy-discussion/2002-September/014002.html Note that in context: - numpy means the old Numeric library - AFAICT neither numeric nor numarray had special "scalar" types at this point, and they didn't have 0d arrays either, so in fact indexing an array would just return the closest python type (int or float). In fact this is a thread about the problems this causes. (So the question Dag raised downthread was prescient! Or, well, postscient, I guess.) So it looks like the main reason was actually that back then, you *couldn't* preserve non-native widths in operations involving scalars, because there was no such thing as a non-native width scalar. As soon as you called 'sum' or indexed an array, you reverted to native width. -n

"Touch", in which Kiefer Sutherland plays the Nicolas Cage character from Alex Proyas' 2009 movie "Knowing". Only, you know, less twitchy. Or at least that's what ran through my mind while I was watching this 3-minute first look preview for the former CTU badass's new show "Touch". Take a gander at it below, won't you?
The show co-stars David Mazouz as Sutherland's son, a teen who hasn't spoken a single word, but we do hear him in voiceover as the preview begins. Kinda odd, that. The beautiful Gugu Mbatha-Raw from the canceled "Undercovers" plays a social worker and, I suspect, a love interest for Sutherland's conveniently single dad character. Danny Glover also shows up as a reclusive therapist type who knows stuff.
"Touch", which will be premiering on FOX soon, is from "Heroes" creator Tim Kring, but, uh, don't hold that against it? "I am Legend's" Francis Lawrence directs the pilot, 3 minutes of which you can see for yourself below.
I dunno if I like seeing Jack Bauer get beaten up and not fighting back. Dammit!

10,000 Shots of Espresso for New York Fashion Week
>> Yesterday, the New York Daily News published a list of fashion's 50 most powerful New Yorkers. All the usual suspects are there — Anna Wintour (#1, of course), Marc Jacobs (#3), Diane von Furstenberg (#8), Gisele Bundchen (#4) — but there are also some lesser-known additions, most of whom have interesting anecdotes.
Among them is Betsy Pearce (#20), the lawyer who brokered Phoebe Philo going to Chloe and Nicholas Ghesquiere moving to Balenciaga; Michael Oliver (#30), the store manager at 'Wichcraft in Bryant Park, who claims to have served 10,000 shots of espresso during Fall 2008 fashion week; and "Mean Christine" Chin (#34), the whose facials simultaneously induces fear and cull the best out of models's skin.

Hi All, Its pretty weird for me to ask question about implant. But im doing this for my wife. My wife is Asian 30 year old, 5'5" and about 100 pound. She current have saline implant "C" cup. She got it about 8 year ago after our 1st kid. About 1 1/2 ago we have another kid.So now her boobs kinda sack a little and she not happy about it. Question: My wife looking to get an upgrade to bigger size but still have natural look and feel. Will Gummy Bear do the job or Saline again?
Implant Upgrade- Stick With Silicone or Switch To Gummy Bear?
Doctor Answers 7
Because your wide is small she would do better with silicone gel implants. They will look and feel more natural in someone who does not have a lot of breast tissue
Implant upgrade
Given the fact your wife is rather petite, it is likely you can feel/see the ripples of the saline implant. Switching to silicone will likely give her a more natural look/feel. Gummy bear implants are somewhat firmer and need a considerably longer incision for placement. Discuss these issues with your Plastic Surgeon! Good luck!!!!
"Gummy Bear" implant not working out.
Your wife would be a good candidate for silicone gel implants (cohesive gel). There is not particular safety issue with gel implants. The "gummy bear" implants are experimental and seem to be having some issues.

Upgrade to Silicone implants
Now that Silicone is available, it is a much better choice for your wife. The silicone gel implants have a natural feel and a lesser probability for rippling if increasing the size. The gummy bear implants are still in the experimental stage and firm.
Look and feel of implants
Implant choices
Without an exam it is difficult to suggest a specific impalnt for you. The "gummy" implants are firmer and have a textured surface, they are still not available for general use yet.
Silicone implant feel more natural then the sailne implants
The "gummy bear" implants are silicone implants that are form stable or in simple words do not change their form just like a "gummy bear". The have an anatomical shape like a tear drop as a natural breast does. They are actually used when the breast are sagging slightly and only an implant is used to attempt to improve the breast ptosis or sagging with out the scares used while doing a breast lift (Mastopexy). But they can rotate in the pocket created and cause the shape of the breast to be strange as well as being harder and more palpable then the cohesive memory gel silicone implants. They also require longer incisions to insert them in. That said all the silicone implants feel and look more natural then the saline implant. It is a matter of choice and surgeons experiance.
Best of luck to her!
