Did an intense cardio yesterday. And today was nothing but squats. My legs are still shaking. I did 10 sets of ass to grass squats. 6 sets of 4 heavy and 4 sets of 8 light, then did 4 sets 10 each of single leg pistol squats. I have jello legs now!
Middle of week four and I've lost 8 pds so far. I have to admit I started to skip working out in the mornings because I'm exhausted from the 4 kids and work. But working out at night sucks too so I'm gonna get off the woulda shoulda train and just get back to mornings. Any advise from anyone on a better ab workout. I have what they call the twin sag. After the third pregnancy which was twins I was like a 5foot 2in ball, at 200 pds. My boys went to full term and both 7pds each. Yeah crazy right. Well the point is they are two now and I don't want to keep looking 3months pregnant. Any advise to flatten. Thanks Gia
My conditioning for today

Been a looooonnnnnnggggggg week - not doing the program as I would like to so just keeping it as healthy as possible and working in some exercise along the way. Will get back on track, not giving up!! Working on getting my pictures uploaded, so only about a week behind on that!!
Have a great weekend everyone - can you believe we are heading for week 5 already!!
twinsplustwo - when you find out the answer on your ab workouts - let me know!! I have a Roman Chair, that works great for me but would love to know some other moves....
I will definately keep u posted, and dont worry i didnt upload photos yet but they are sitting on my camera quietly heckling me. Long weeeeek too we can do it though. Twinsplustwo aka Gia
Hi everybody
Week 5 is almost here! Wow!!
I have also had a bit of tough week. Going away for a few days with no gym nearby was hard and mixed me up a bit. Keeping to the 6 meals a day was almost impossible, but I have been steadily getting back on track. Will head to the gym this morning for a cardio session. Next week I'm away again but then I have 3 weeks of no trips, so can concentrate on really nailing it.
The weather is also improving, although in the morning the temps still hover just above freezing when I go to the gym. I feel so much more motivated when it is warm and sunny!!
Did a nice long run outside
Week 5 has begun!!
Congrats for making it this far!! Back on track with a brilliant upper body workout this morning. Healthy eating planned for the whole day. Away for next couple of days, so see you back here on Thursday morning.
Almost at the half way point.
Crazy that week 5 is here. I seem to be muddling a long a bit. Nothing spectacular, but I'm sticking to the plan. My scale weight this morning was only +2lbs from the end of C1, though I've been in the +3-4 range the last week or two. Would love to see +1lb/week, but I'm losing confidence that that's a reasonable goal.
I switched to a pre-workout NOS Blast by Body Fortress (find it at Walmart or Vitamin Shoppe). Anyone else using a pre-workout? I've used the EAS Phosphorce in the past, but it's loaded with sugar (34g), so I cut it out.
Also, switched to EAS Recovery Protein, I replaced my normal post-workout whey + EAS Muscle Armor + Apple. I'm not sure how confident I am in this choice. It's easy, but it has 17g of sugar. I think I'd rather get the carbs from a whole source (the apple).
Any experience with these or thoughts?
Hey all - I'm still hanging in there as well....yep, muddling along this past week- but better than nothing! Sounds like we all have a few good weeks ahead of us - and a good thing too.
jrmcnaircpt - I can't speak very well to putting on weight, trying to go the other direction - however, I like using the Myoplex Original Strawberry mix - add 1 cup apple juice, 1 cup frozen strawberries and 1 cup yogurt. That should give you quite a few calories, but not sure how the sugar adds up.
Very sore from my workout today
Good morning folks.
Workout: UBWO Pull Muscles, this morning at 6:30 (late start but probably 8.5/10)
1- EAS whey (3 scoops), 1c. OJ, NOS Blast (day 2 of this pre-workout, no complaints yet)
2- EAS Recovery Protein (early results still pending)
3- PB banana sammich (NOM, NOM, NOM)
4- Gotta get some Oatmeal (need the carbs)
5- 8oz steelhead trout, 1 med. baked sweet tator
6- 8oz grilled chicken, wheat sandwich thin
7- repeat meal 6 + 1oz raw almonds
8- 6oz top round stir fried with veggies, 1c. brown rice
Am I really eating 8 times today??? 3066 total calories; 37% carb, 41% protein, 22% fat.
What are the chances that I cross-posted with Gina... AGAIN?
Where is everyone???? This post had fallen to the 3rd page. Tune in folks!
LBWO- Had an AWESOME workout this morning, as in "I think I may be sick." I'm fairly certain my workout partner won't be back for a leg day... when he can walk again. MURDERED my squats @ 385lbs (Next stop 405!!!). This is what bragging looks like (I'm sure it's unbecoming).
1- EAS Whey (3 scoops), 1c. OJ, NOS Blast (pre-workout)
2- EAS Recovery Protein (post-workout)
3- Oatmeal, Banana (carb me up)
4- 6oz top round, stir fry veggies, need a carb- maybe a wheat wrap
5- 8oz grilled chicken, wheat wrap
6- Shepard's Pie: 6oz ground sirloin, 1c. mashed potatoes (olive oil/skim), 1/4c. carrots
7- Chicken fajitas (8oz chicken breast, peppers, onions, wheat wrap)
8- Casein Protein Shake
Lot's a wraps today ---> evidence of poor planning. 286/341/54 (C/P/F) @ 2994 calories
For cardio today I am going to get on the mats and grapple.
Jrmcnaircpt is your squat a 1rmax or is that x6?
I'm still going strong! I am past the halfway point! (I started mid march). I did some progress pics yesterday, and was a little bummed I didn't see more change. BUT, as I was comparing pics, I dug up my before pics of my first challenge-holy cow!!! I look waaaaay better now than I did then! Proof that BFL is a life journey, not a 3 month one.

Hi All,
From where can I get [ download ] "Page Curl" plug-in for Photoshop? In most of the sites it says "Shareware"...
By the way I have been waiting to hear from Paul. If possible, please tell him to revert back to me. Sometime ago we were discussing on Skype but all of sudden we got disconnect.
Do you mean you googled it and the results were shareware programs?
What's wrong with that?
There are paid-for programs however, if you like spending money.
There are also tutorials showing how to do it yourself.
Who's Paul?
You don't need a plug in for page curl. A plug in contains no magic, just a bunch of actions that you can do yourself.
On the web search for page curl photoshop. There are step by step procedures to show you how it is done.
Hi John,
Yup. Most of the results were Shareware for Page Curl plugin. Nothing is wrong in that. But you see, I prefer a Freeware plug-in.
Paul is this person - http://forums.adobe.com/people/Paul%20Riggott … So, do you know him?
Hi Curt,
Please, I need a Freeware plug-in for Page Curl.

Do you know the difference between a plug-in and an Action?
Yup John, I do. But still I would prefer a freeware plug-in which would be More Easier and More Productive.
I've never used a freeware Page Curl plug-in, but had it in a couple of suites - think one was the old Alien Skin Eye Candy, but cannot recall the other one now. I used that maybe twice, and never again.
If you can find a downloadable Action, that will be as good as a plug-in. It's only the packaging that will be different.
Good luck,
Hi Bill,
Thanks for your Good Luck wishes.
In that case, could you please fish-out a Downloadable Action for me? Or perhaps you can generate an Action and send it to me by Email. Let me know what do you think when you get a chance.

Since you have a computer and online connection why do you refuse to do this yourself?? We are here to help, but not do your work.
As stated several times in this thread, all you have to do is search for page curl action photoshop. Many are listed. Get to work and stop begging for a magic process.
HERE is where I would start.
Good luck,
Hi Bill,
That Page Curl does not look elegant and neat. Kinda it looks weird to me. I believe a Plug-In would be just PERFECT:
* To Change the Shades and Colors
* To ReSize the Height and Width of Curl (Horizontally and Vertically)
* To Decide the Twirl of Curl
and etc etc... Am I making sense Bill? If possible, try see the Curl Effects in PaintShop Photo and CorelDRAW under Menu.
Page curl is a really corny effect anyway.
It is so 70s!

Yup. Crumpled paper is the way to go if you want to look casual chic.

Hello Everyone,
Thank you for your replies. I saw all the reference link which you have shared for my reference. I need something like this:
I did it from from "Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X3" which was named as "PaintShop Pro" when I made the original post on Jul 16th, 2010. I just need a Plug-In so that I could put the file in plug-in folder to get that effect from Photoshop.

Do you remember what the name of the filter in paint shop pro was called?
Or how you did that in paint shop pro?
I'm not really clear on the effect your showing.

Former EHS coach Hardin hangs up whistle
By Jamie Combs
One of coaching's longtime gym rats is through beating traps.
Earlier this month, Tony Hardin retired after a 30-plus year stay in the profession. The final six were spent atop the Heritage High boys basketball program in Maryville.
"I was considering retirement strongly," Hardin said this week. "Some family issues pulled my time away, so I decided to go ahead and retire."
Combine years spent on the middle school, freshman and prep varsity levels, and the former Elizabethton High coach walks away with slightly more than 1,000 games to his credit — and a record of 552-450.
"Coach Hardin is someone that I learned a tremendous amount from both as a player and coach," said former Cyclone standout Michael Morrell, now the director of men's basketball operations for Virginia Commonwealth University. "The memories I made playing for him are ones I still carry with me today. He always took a tremendous amount of pride in developing those he led into better players and people.
"Knowing Coach Hardin, it will not be the wins or championships he is most proud of — but rather the relationships and impact he made on his former players."
Relationships and impact? Indeed.
"I've always felt like in coaching," Hardin said, "you never know whether you're a success or not until about five to seven years down the road, because that's when the people you coach become adults. And then you kind of know if you had any effect on them or not.
"I really hope that at some point I positively affected some lives, and that's kind of what I will miss — watching boys grow into young men."
Hardin began his career in 1979 at Hunter Elementary, remaining there through the 1983-84 campaign. Leading the Tigers to an astounding 133-36 mark, including the '84 Class AA state championship, he worked with the girls team as well — inducing a 70-46 mark.
From there, he served as the freshman coach (70-36 mark, two district titles) and a varsity assistant at EHS before reigning over the Lady Cyclones for a five-year span (1990-91 to 1994- 95).
His high school varsity debut, a 57-16 loss to Hampton, was an inauspicious one.
"On the nights when we were bad like that or the seasons you weren't as good as you'd like to be," Hardin said, "I just leaned on the process — that if you do things right, in the long run things are going to come.
"I remember that girls game, though." (laughter)
Enduring a tough rookie campaign (6-21) and losing 36 of his first 50 contests with the Lady Cyclones, Hardin then started to turn things around. He averaged 19 wins a season over his final three years with the team — lifting him above the .500 mark (75-72) — and took the girls to their first substate appearance in '94.
Then handed the Elizabethton boys job, he fashioned a 10-season stretch that, most notably, encompassed the program's last trip to the state tournament. The 2002-03 Cyclones made it to Murfreesboro in Class AA, finishing with a glistening 30-5 mark.
Going 163-138 with the 'Clones, Hardin was a three-time 20-game winner. Some additional highlights include two Watauga Conference championships, two district crowns (one in 1-AAA, another in 1-AA), a pair of Region 1-AA titles and halting Science Hill's 47-game win streak in January of '96.
"That's probably the best game I've ever been associated with," said Hardin, referring to the 57-50 double-overtime victory at the Topper Palace. "It was a very high level (of play) from both teams. With the hype and the excitement and everything, it was a really fun night."
The accomplishment that supplied him the most satisfaction, however, was recording a 28-0 league record en route to back-to-back Watauga crowns (2001-02, 2002-03).
"Consistently playing at a high level every night is very difficult to do, especially with teenagers," he said.
An assistant coach for Hardin with the Cyclones, Rick Wilson gave his take on the T.H. touch.
"Tony's always been a special friend to me, just growing up and so forth," Wilson said. "We competed against each other when we played in elementary school, and then later on of course we competed against one another when we coached (middle school ball) in the county. Fortunately, I was able to help him coach there at Elizabethton for a while.
"I guess the one thing that sticks out to me about Tony is his patience and his love for every kid, and never giving up on any of the kids. He was always so positive with every kid and a big believer that they would be able to do something to contribute to the team in some form or fashion. That's always stuck with me."
Seven-time Pro Bowler Jason Witten was on the 1999-2000 Cyclone squad that played in a sectional game at the University of Tennessee's Thompson-Boling Arena.
Witten, of course, would soon be playing football for the Vols.
"Coach Hardin was a tremendous coach and will always hold a special spot in my life," said the Dallas Cowboys tight end. "He had a unique way of reaching young men, like very few I have ever been around. On the court, he taught me so many great qualities that I still use today, such as strong work ethic, a deep understanding of mental toughness and how to have discipline in every phase of your life. He taught that in order to have success, you must first be willing to put the work in every day.
"Off the court, he had a huge impact on my life as well. I remember struggling during my (college) recruiting process for football and feeling as if the weight of the world was on my shoulders. Coach would simply put his arm around me and reassure me that I could not make a wrong decision during this process. How great that felt. He would constantly remind me of how much he cared for me and my family. Although I am many years removed from playing for Coach, I will always cherish our relationship and the lifelong lessons he taught me both on and off the floor."
Vince Redd, who helped the Cyclones reach the '03 state tournament, spent time with the New England Patriots in 2008.
"I've been blessed to have coached the people I've coached and had the success I've had," Hardin said. "I've coached two NFL players, and I've got an awful lot of guys in coaching who played for me at different levels."
One of those guys is his son Steve, a Lees-McRae College men's assistant and former Appalachian Athletic Conference women's coach of the year at Bluefield.
"I was lucky because I got to play for Coach Hardin and also got to grow up as his son," Steve said. "I know he taught many players the game of basketball and I know I'm biased, but I have always thought he was the best coach at getting good players to be great and teaching players how to succeed in life. It's hard for the fan to see those key things that dad did extra. I have so many examples of dad going the extra mile to just help a kid out."
Having coached all three of his sons — T.J. and Ben came along after Steve — during his years at EHS, Tony Hardin considers the experience a treasure.
"I feel very blessed to have done that," Hardin said.
A one-year break followed Hardin's final season (2004-05) at Elizabethton, then he accepted the job at Heritage — where the situation was less than ideal. Inheriting a program with a downtrodden background, Hardin won just 41 games with the Mountaineers.
"It's an agricultural school," he said. "Probably 50, 60 percent of the people there are in the farming business, so basketball's not really a very high priority.
"It's a very tough place to coach."
There was a first-place finish in the '07 Midway Christmas Classic, and a conquest of Alcoa the season before. Conference play, however, has long been a monumental challenge for Heritage.
"We actually had some good teams," he said. "It's just that this league down here is so tough. I thought coaching at Elizabethton when we were 3A was the toughest thing I had ever seen, but I was absolutely wrong. I mean in this league down here, every year there are five teams that are capable of going to the state tournament. You're looking at West, Bearden, Farragut and Maryville, Lenoir City — I mean you're looking at some high-level talent. And then, too, because you can travel only so far, you don't get much let-up out of your conference. The double-A teams are good, too."
Despite the tough go of it from the Mountaineers' bench, Hardin is thankful for the time he's had in the Heritage community.
"It's been very good to me," said Hardin, who resides in Blount County with his wife, Linda. "It's a good place. I love living here and financially it was a really good move."
And he plans to remain there as a teacher for a good while.
"There are some financial reasons to do that, so I'm just going to stay there and teach," he said. "And I'm actually really enjoying the classroom. I have a very high-tech classroom. I've got a computer for every student. I'm on a 9-weeks program — every nine weeks I get new kids."
From the coaching end of the spectrum, Hardin conveyed that every job had its rewards.
"I really think, too, if you do your homework as a coach, you learn from every situation," he said. "Starting at the middle school level, fundamentals were ingrained in how I coached. I think coaching girls made me a better communicator. You can't berate them like you might a guy."
Moreover, the profession has enabled Hardin to form a tight bond with Wilson. The two men first connected as middle school basketball players (Hardin for Unaka, Wilson for Central), and they continued that competition on the high school level (Hardin, Unaka; Wilson, Happy Valley).
They would match wits as middle school coaches — Wilson was at Central — before eventually pooling their knowledge of the sport for the Orange & Black.
Since then, the road of life has led both individuals to Blount County. In fact, Hardin and Wilson, who's the principal at Maryville's John Sevier Elementary School, live roughly a mile apart.
"It's funny because we live real close, then we won't even see each other for a while," Hardin said. "But we kind of keep in touch, then the next thing you know we'll be back together again. It's been nice; he's a very good friend."
Wilson recalls coming upon an important career matter during his Carter County years, and how Hardin responded to the situation.
"When I was coaching with him, the principal's position came open at West Side Elementary," Wilson said. "It always meant a lot to me that Tony encouraged me to go after that, because you work and stuff to get yourself in a position to be in a really good situation, I think, like we were at Elizabethton.
"From a coaching standpoint, when that position came open, he was a hundred percent supportive and never one time encouraged me to do anything other than just to look at it — and if that's what I thought was best for me and my family, to take that.
"And not everybody will do that."

I already had Ringo, who was anti-social. Plus, I was already single, bald, broke and 30 — add multiple dogs to the mix and I might as well move back in with my momma, play Dungeons, listen to Rush and start collecting "Uncanny X-men" comics again for all the dates I was going to go on.
That's what I told the woman at the Calhoun County Humane Society when she offered to give me a tour of the place. I was there for a story, to promote adoptions … adoptions by people other than me.
But I agreed to take a tour anyway. I didn't make eye contact as we walked in the back area. These were the dogs waiting for space to open up. These were the dogs down to their last chance.
But still I wasn't going to look.
"This is Chester," the woman said. I looked. I made eye contact and from that moment I knew I was in trouble. They thought Chester was part bassett hound/part pit bull. He was the strangest looking dog I'd ever seen. Tough looking as a Tonka truck with a head the size of a bowling ball, Chester was intimidating.
"Wanna play with him?"
I was led outside to a large fenced-in area while Chester was fitted with a leash and escorted to the opposite end.
"Now, he might be a little excited," someone said. "But he's very friendly."
At that moment the volunteer let Chester go and he tore off straight for me — teeth bared in a maniacal grin. I felt like bait for an attack dog, only someone had forgotten the puffy suit.
I would've jumped the fence but there was no time. Chester was kicking up dirt. I just hoped someone had a cooler so the doctors could reattach my face and whatever else he chewed off.
But instead of jumping up and chomping down, Chester slid onto his back the last few feet and laid there with that same grin plastered across his face waiting for me to scratch his belly.
"I'll take him."
Chester became Bonham, named after the Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. It wasn't until I was leaving the shelter that I found out his time was up. He would've been put to sleep within a week.
I saved his life, and he brought joy and weirdness to mine. That was eight years ago. But Bonham's time finally ran out last week.
My Lovely Wife found him in his bed, looking out the big bay window to the front yard. He could've been sleeping. We don't know exactly what took him. That's just the way it goes sometimes.
We were all in tears. Of the three dogs, Bonham was the one everyone liked. He never barked, was always happy and save for his "shelter dreams" that made him act a little more needy at times and gave him an unnatural fear of vacuum cleaners, Bonham was the perfect dog. He was thankful — that was how we always thought of it.
I buried him in the backyard beside a blooming oakleaf hydrangea along with a baby blanket and his favorite AFLAC duck that still quacked. I surrounded the grave with bricks we brought from our house in Jacksonville.
I couldn't help but think that this was the reason we had a garden. It's a place of peaceful beauty, a place to remember. I'll always remember Bonham as the dog I didn't want but was so thankful to have.
He doesn't have a headstone, but if he did, it would read: "Bonham – He was a good dog."

Was Amazon's Kindle Fire just a flash in the pan?May 4, 2012: 7:31 AM ET
Sales of the Kindle e-readers have apparently also fallen off a cliff
FORTUNE -- Thursday was bad-news day for Amazon's (AMZN) Kindle line of tablets and e-readers.
- IDC released first quarter tablet sales data that had Kindle Fire shipments falling from 4.8 million in the Christmas quarter to less than 750,000 units last quarter. "Kindle Fire Shipments Fizzle" was the headline on AllThingsD.
- E Ink Holdings, the sole supplier of black-and-white screens for Amazon's Kindle e-readers, reported that its "major customer" bought way too many e-ink screens in Q4 2011. As a result, it ordered "almost nothing" in Q1 2012.
"To put it short," wrote Paulo Santos Thursday in Seeking Alpha, "the Kindle eReader has dropped out of bed. It has fallen beyond the wildest dreams of Amazon.com's management."
"This is simply not a positive development," Santos concludes. "This is another development confirming the migration of e-reading from Amazon.com's controlled environment, to a larger set of devices. These devices run Apple's (AAPL) iOS or Google's (GOOG) Android.
"The Kindle Fire suffering the same fate so early ... means that Amazon.com's attempt to mitigate Apple and Google's dominance has already failed. This failure certainly doesn't seem to be priced in the market."

After a volatile year in 2011, equity markets grew more confident in the first quarter of 2012. Evidence of improving economic activity in the United States and reduced fears about European bank and sovereign debt problems fueled an increase in investors' appetite for risk, leading to strong equity market returns across geographic regions, market capitalizations and investment styles. Most equity benchmark indexes posted double-digit gains for the quarter.
While the pace of U.S. economic growth remained moderate, there were encouraging signs that the recovery had become self-sustaining. Trends in employment, manufacturing, consumer spending and housing were generally favorable. The pickup in activity, along with rising crude oil and gasoline prices, led to expectations of higher inflation, although the core inflation rate, as measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) less food and energy costs, remained relatively benign (+0.2% in March).
Similar performance across market segments masks rotation into large caps
The S&P 500 Index gained 12.6% for the quarter, while the broader Russell 3000 Index returned 12.9%. Foreign developed and emerging-market equities also posted double-digit gains, with the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets Indexes rising 10.9% and 14.1%, respectively.
Reflecting the favorable growth outlook for the U.S. economy, S&P 500 performance was led by the financials (+22.1%), technology (+21.5%), and consumer discretionary (+16.0%) sectors, while more defensive sectors such as utilities (-1.6%) and consumer staples (+5.5%) underperformed. Based on Russell market-cap and investment-style indexes, returns were similar for large cap stocks (+12.9%), mid caps (+12.9%), and small caps (+12.4%), while growth stocks (+14.6%) outperformed value stocks (+11.2%).
The similarity of returns for varying market segments masked a clear rotation into high-quality, large-cap companies, beginning on February 15. This mid-quarter shift was an early sign of unease among investors: With an eye on potential storm clouds in Europe and a cooling Chinese economy, they began moving into equity market segments that tend to be less volatile. As an example, the S&P 100 Index — representing the 100 largest firms in the S&P 500 — was up 3.6% in March, while the MSCI Emerging Market Index was down 3.3%.
In terms of style, investors preferred the relative stability of growth stocks over "riskier" value stocks throughout the entire quarter. This marked a change from the previous quarter, when growth lagged value in a strong up market.
Better environment for active stock pickers
The first-quarter investment environment afforded greater opportunities for active equity fund managers to outperform. In 2011, equity markets were fixated on daily headlines and global macro developments, leading to higher-than-normal correlations, with stocks tending to move in lockstep, regardless of company fundamentals. In the first quarter of 2012, markets were less volatile than in 2011, and correlations among individual stocks fell dramatically. As a result, active managers were generally rewarded.
Outlook: Constructive but cautious, as a "fiscal cliff" looms
As the first quarter ended and the second began, we began to see some weakening in U.S. employment and other indicators that had been picking up steam in the first quarter. After two months in which net new monthly payrolls exceeded 200,000, employers added only 120,000 jobs in March, far below consensus forecasts. The unemployment rate dipped one-tenth of a percentage point, to 8.2%, but this was due to more people leaving the workforce and not expanded hiring. Meanwhile, first-time claims for unemployment benefits also ticked up in the first weeks of April. In addition, housing starts and existing home sales for March fell short of expectations, and homebuilder confidence in April slipped for the first time in seven months.
Somewhat tempering these concerns were robust retail sales figures for March, an uptick in The Conference Board's index of leading economic indicators, increases in steel production and bank loans, and lower commodity prices. Moreover, while fewer than half of all S&P 500 companies have released first-quarter earnings thus far, early results have been promising. Nearly 80% of firms to date have reported upside surprises, albeit relative to lowered expectations. For companies that have already reported, margins were higher than in the fourth quarter of 2011 and versus the year-ago period. On balance, we think the odds favor another upward move in U.S. equity markets as summer approaches, punctuated by inevitable fits and starts, with U.S. growth continuing on a slow trajectory.
Our chief concern for the U.S. is the looming "fiscal cliff" the economy and financial markets will have to climb if public-policy gridlock in Washington persists. There would be a significant impact on GDP in 2013 in the event that the debt ceiling is not lifted in November and automatic budget cuts are triggered, tax cuts are allowed to expire and unemployment insurance is not extended. Equity markets are not yet focused on this possibility, but as we move through the year, investors will become more attuned to the potential toll these fiscal hits could take on economic growth, corporate profits, and stock prices.
Outside of the U.S., investors continue to fear an economic slowdown in China. Recent contraction in Chinese manufacturing activity, as well as lower-than-forecast first-quarter GDP growth of 8.1% (versus 8.9% in the fourth quarter of 2011), have been particularly worrisome. At the same time, deepening pessimism about Europe's economy and debt crisis, most notably in Spain, has contributed to increased market volatility.
Lastly, we are acutely aware that in both 2010 and 2011, April marked a pivot point for economic weakness and subsequent stock market declines, so we continue to monitor developments closely, mindful of potential downside triggers. Although we do not anticipate the degree of economic sluggishness that triggered market pullbacks in the past two summers, we believe the recent slowing of momentum at the macro level will provide a basis for a continued rotation into large-cap and growth-oriented stocks, as the market tends to gravitate to these categories when the economy appears more vulnerable to downside risks.

When we ran the story "Type 1 Pop Star Nick Jonas Tells His Story" on our website in April 2007, we didn't expect it to generate the hundreds of responses that it has since then. The story continues to receive new comments every week.
Nick and his brothers Kevin and Joe just signed a deal with the Disney Channel to star as themselves in a reality program tentatively titled "Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream." The show will follow the trio around on their current "Look Me in the Eyes" tour, covering their lives on and off the stage.
In late March, the boys visited the White House to give an assist at the annual Easter Egg Roll. The hunt, a tradition since 1878, draws children from all over the country to roam the White House's South Lawn seeking colorful hidden wooden eggs.
While there, the brothers met President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush. The President not only complimented Joe Jonas's shoes but also revealed that he's a fan of the teen trio.
Later, when asked if being invited to the White House would go to the Jonas Brothers' heads, Joe pointed out that the three siblings are still expected to do routine chores on their tour bus.
In June, Disney will air "Camp Rock," a TV movie featuring the brothers. On July 4, the Jonases will kick off their summer "Burning Up" tour in Toronto.

Saw a 14 year old girl today for a physical. After the full dog and pony show, I was wrapping up. Mom asked me to peek at a spot that they had forgotten to mention, on her abdomen.
Eesh. A supernumerary (extra) nipple.
These are of course commonplace, and of no consequence.
Unless you're a 14 year old girl.
I wasn't sure how she'd take it. I had the forethought to clap my hands over her 11 year old brother's ears before whispering "It's an extra nipple."
She not only thought it was hilarious, I got big points for keeping it from her brother. I'm guessing that kind of info is major currency in the sibling wars at her house.
If supernumerary nipples aren't further evidence of evolution, I don't know what is.

I recently removed two from my niece. They were located below her bra coverage. I reminded her (and will again in the future) that there may be residual breast tissue (cellular), so it will be a good idea to do her breast-self exam in that area also. Something to remember when we tell patient's that the "extra nipple" is nothing. And I do agree that nothing needs to be done most of the time.
I agree with socks--kudos for sensitivity.

Comments about Soft Foam Cross-Section Human Brain Model:
I would have preferred for the two hemispheres of the brain to fit together more tightly. The two hemispheres are unable to stay together and fall apart when not held in the hand. That fact slightly diminishes the affects that one expects when viewing the picture. However, it is still a great learning tool that will come in handy while educating my students. I was pleased with the company that sold the foam models to me. They made fast deliveries and provided good service.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By Sarah Turner and V. Phani Kumar, MarketWatch
HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Asian markets ended on a mixed note Tuesday, with shares in Tokyo slipping after a roller-coaster ride in the wake of the Bank of Japan's monetary policy decision, while South Korean stocks advanced amid gains for the yen.
Japan's Nikkei Stock Average /quotes/zigman/5986735/realtime JP:NIK -0.97% saw big moves on either side of the previous day's close before ending down 0.4% at 10,709.93.
Local stocks jumped immediately after the Bank of Japan said it would adopt a firm inflation target of 2% and pursue "open-ended" asset purchases from 2014. But the market let those gains slip away as the central bank didn't set a deadline for the inflation target, nor announce any additional monetary stimulus for 2013. Read full story on the Bank of Japan decision.
"I see this as a bit of a correction," said Shane Oliver, head of investment strategy at AMP Capital Investors, but said he saw gains for Japanese stocks as consumer prices in the country begin to approach the new target.
Frustrated Chinese investors turn to stocks abroad
Beijing has been raising the limits on the overseas portfolios of Chinese investors, who have grabbed the opportunity to sink more money into foreign markets.
"A huge chunk of money is going to be pumped into the Japanese economy," Oliver said. "It's a major policy development to add to other major developments" such as U.S. fiscal issues and a delay to implementation of Basel III reforms.
Elsewhere in the region, South Korea's Kospi /quotes/zigman/1652118/realtime KR:SEU -0.10% rose 0.5%, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index /quotes/zigman/2622475/realtime HK:HSI +0.24% climbed 0.3% and Australia's S&P/ASX 200 /quotes/zigman/1653884/realtime AU:XJO +0.24% ended flat.
China's Shanghai Composite Index /quotes/zigman/1858913/realtime CN:000001 -0.62% finished 0.6% lower on profit-taking after recent advances.
U.S. markets were slated to reopen Tuesday after Monday's holiday, with investors expected to focus on several earnings reports due later in the day. U.S. equity index futures were indicating a weaker start, with Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449/realtime DJIA -0.08% futures down 32 points, or 0.2%, at 13,544. Read: 5 earnings reports to watch Tuesday.
Stock movers
In Tokyo, the yen overcame initial weakness in the wake of Bank of Japan's decision to rebound against major currencies, sending local stocks lower. Among exporters, Komatsu Ltd. /quotes/zigman/194546/realtime JP:6301 +0.19% /quotes/zigman/179151/delayed/quotes/nls/kmtuy KMTUY -0.50% fell 1.2% and Toyota Motor Corp. /quotes/zigman/199376/delayed/quotes/nls/tm TM -0.25% /quotes/zigman/199438/realtime JP:7203 -1.44% retreated 0.9%.
Olympus Corp. /quotes/zigman/196968/realtime JP:7733 0.00% /quotes/zigman/335753/delayed/quotes/nls/ocpny OCPNY +2.19% jumped 6.6% after its shares were taken off a Tokyo Stock Exchange list for a possible delisting.
Kirin Holdings Co. /quotes/zigman/194680/realtime JP:2503 -0.07% /quotes/zigman/310060/delayed/quotes/nls/knbwy KNBWY -0.29% rose 3.2% following reports that Thai billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi had increased his offer to buy Singapore-listed Fraser & Neave Ltd. /quotes/zigman/413325/realtime SG:F99 -0.97% /quotes/zigman/413326/delayed/quotes/nls/fnevf FNEVF +7.69% .
Kirin, along with a group led by property firm Overseas Union Enterprise Ltd. /quotes/zigman/597311/realtime SG:LJ3 +0.44% , had previously made an offer to buy Fraser & Neave.
In Singapore afternoon trading, Fraser and Neave shares were down 2%, while Overseas Union stock climbed 4.4%. Read: Kirin says no decision yet on Fraser & Neave stake.
Stocks rose in Seoul, meanwhile, as a firmer yen provided support to the South Korean exporters who compete with Japanese rivals in several industries. Hyundai Motor Co. /quotes/zigman/189605/delayed/quotes/nls/hymtf HYMTF +3.17% /quotes/zigman/189436/realtime KR:005380 -1.22% rose 1.9%, Kia Motors Corp. /quotes/zigman/189444/delayed/quotes/nls/kimtf KIMTF -13.83% /quotes/zigman/189448/realtime KR:000270 -0.34% added 1.7% and Samsung Electronics Co. /quotes/zigman/189457/realtime KR:005930 +1.30% /quotes/zigman/189458/delayed/quotes/nls/ssnlf SSNLF +6.56% advanced 1.8%.
Korea Gas Corp. /quotes/zigman/1652898/realtime KR:036460 -0.63% tumbled 6.8% on reports the firm had scrapped a fund-raising plan.
Property-sector losses weighed on mainland Chinese stocks, with Gemdale Corp. /quotes/zigman/1867160/realtime CN:600383 +10.00% losing 1.3% and Poly Real Estate Group Co. /quotes/zigman/1873491/realtime CN:600048 +2.73% falling 2.1%.
In Sydney, MacMahon Holdings Ltd. /quotes/zigman/141416/realtime AU:MAH 0.00% /quotes/zigman/141415/delayed/quotes/nls/mchhf MCHHF 0.00% jumped 5.9% after signing its largest-ever mining deal, a $1.9 billion contract to expand a Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. /quotes/zigman/329628/realtime AU:FMG +1.71% /quotes/zigman/329626/delayed/quotes/nls/fsumf FSUMF -1.00% mine. Shares of Fortescue rose 2.4%. Read: Macmahon snags huge Fortescue mine contract.
AMP's Shane Oliver said that while miners should benefit from an improvement in economic outlook for Japan — one of Australia's biggest trading partners — currency-market reaction to Japan's deflation fighting moves could be a "fly in the ointment."
The Bank of Japan move will likely encourage more people to use the yen to fund carry trades into the Australian dollar. This could push the Australian currency to even loftier levels, making business conditions more difficult for Australian exporters and manufacturers, he said.

Already made that joke
In 2005 Ponting took Vaughan's wicket.
It's just a wicket I won't forget any time soon. I don't think Vaughan got out to part-timers regularly.
Not sure about frequent, but I remember Rob Key getting out to Damien Martyn and Steve Waugh in the 2002-03 Ashes.

Dibbly dobbly medium pieslingers often get Christened "partnership breakers". Craig McMillan had that kinda rep. Looking at the batsmen he dismissed (28 wickets in 55 tests, so v much a part-timer) his victims include both Waughs, Langer, Slater, Kallis, Andy Flower &, twice, Damien Martyn.
Some quality batsmen seem to have issues with merde bowling seemingly.
- As featured in The Independent.
"Predictably, the ending of his international career did not end the argument about Pietersen's merits, as an army of informed commentators and Piers Morgan weighed in to defend or attack him."
- The Guardian's Andrew Anthony
Jadeja and Clarke? Unless I'm mistaken the former's role was as a batting all-rounder before the Australian series.

Return to Main Freedmen's Cemetery Page
Stonework for the Memorial walls, walkways and entry gate has now been completed.
The wrought iron arched sign atop the main gate to Freedmen's Cemetery was installed on February 27, 2014.
Wrought iron fencing has been installed to protect the Freedmen's Cemetery and the Memorial, echoing the ghost of the original wooden picket fence which long ago vanished from the site.
The memorial sculpture, The Path of Thorns and Roses, is by California based artist Mario Chiodo. Chiodo was selected after a national search to design and create the sculpture. The larger-than-life figurative sculpture captures what the artist envisioned the emotions of the Contrabands and Freedmen would have been at various stages of their Journey.
Two bas relief panels by artist Joanna Blake will honor those buried at the Contrabands and Freedmen Cemetery.
Grave markers, some outlining the coffin shapes below, have been installed across the cemetery to identify known burial sites.

My daughter has long thin blonde hair and Lice seem to love it. She's had it 2 times this school year and is missing school because of it. I believe she's getting it form school becaue nobody else in tthe family has had it. any suggestions?!
Make sure that she does NOT share combs, hats, or hair accessories. Make sure you treat lice appropriately and that you are actually killing the lice eggs. Once appropriately treated, make sure your daughter keeps her hair pulled back at school, so that lice won't make her head their home!
I used to get it alot at school when i was younger (same type of hair just burrentt) and everytime my mom made me bag all my stuffed animals up, i think for a week but i can double check if you would like me too. She would also bug bomb the house to make sure they weren't still hiding somewhere in there. Also My son went to day care for awhile i i know they had to post when there was lice found on a child so i'd call the school and see what they are doing to let parents know it's in the school also. My mother had me use Dawn Dish soap on my son when his daycare said they had found some. I guess it kills everything and is easier on kids delicate skin. But i would get in contact with the school and see what they are doing to prevent it from being spread.
And of course enforcing the not sharing hat and combs and brusing with other kids in her class will help prevent it as well.

'Canterville Ghosts' sure to delight audience
A little creepy, a little funny, a little heart warming, the Wimberley Players' new show, "Canterville Ghosts," had a haunting first weekend.
Laura Tomerlin, assistant director, had to step in and step up on the eve of opening night to play Lucretia Otis. She fit seamlessly into the cast.
Though the show had a rough start with a main character dropping out so close to the first night, the characters are rich and, once again, the Wimberley Players don't miss a beat.

World-Herald staff writer Lee Barfknecht ranks the Big Ten football conference as published in The World-Herald on Nov. 4.
* * *
1. Ohio St. (9-0, 5-0 Big Ten)
Last week: beat Purdue 56-0. This week: Idle. The victory train keeps rolling along at Ohio State. All that's left for a second straight perfect regular season are wins at Illinois, at home against Indiana and at Michigan.
2. Michigan State (8-1, 5-0)
Last week: beat Michigan 29-6. This week: Idle. This team is loaded with confidence. The defense is operating at peak efficiency. The offense has found a running threat and can make plays. And the kicking game is very strong.
3. Wisconsin (6-2, 4-1)
Last week: beat Iowa 28-9. This week: BYU, 2:30 p.m., ESPN. Stepping out of conference this late in the season is rare. Doing it against a first-rate opponent is almost unheard of. The Badgers had better not let down.
4. Minnesota (7-2, 3-2)
Last week: beat Indiana 42-39. This week: Penn State, 11 a.m., ESPN2. It's mind-boggling to see the Gophers No. 4, but it's well-deserved. Two straight road wins and an upset of Nebraska have spawned rare enthusiasm in the Twin Cities.
5. Nebraska (6-2, 3-1)
Last week: beat Northwestern 27-24. This week: at Michigan, 2:30 p.m., ABC. Hail to the Huskers. Or, more appropriately, Hail Mary to the Huskers. All wins are worth celebrating. The sobering thought is Nebraska's league victories are against teams 0-13 in Big Ten play.
6. Michigan (6-2, 2-2)
Last week: lost to Michigan State 29-6. This week: Nebraska, 2:30 p.m., ABC. QB Devin Gardner took a brutal beating against Michigan State. The training staff will need a good week of practice to fix his bumps and bruises.
7. Iowa (5-4, 2-3)
Last week: lost to Wisconsin 28-9. This week: at Purdue, 11 a.m., BTN. Whatever progress Iowa thought it made on offense earlier this season disappeared. In the second halves of the Hawkeyes' past four Big Ten games, they have racked up a whole 10 points.
8. Penn State (5-3, 2-2)
Last week: beat Illinois 24-17 in OT. This week: at Minnesota, 11 a.m., ESPN2. Bill O'Brien needs two more victories for a second straight winning season under terrible circumstances. The opponents: at Minnesota, Purdue, Nebraska, at Wisconsin.
9. Indiana (3-5, 1-3)
Last week: lost to Minnesota 42-39. This week: Illinois, 2:30 p.m., BTN. Can the Hoosiers find three wins in the final four games (Illinois, at Wisconsin, at Ohio State, Purdue) in order to become bowl eligible? Nope.
10. Northwestern (4-5, 0-5)
Last week: lost to Nebraska 27-24. This week: Idle. Funny, isn't it, how all the chatter about Pat Fitzgerald being a hot commodity has vanished. Fitz, who has faced criticism for in-game decisions before, will get it double this week.
11. Illinois (3-5, 0-4)
Last week: lost to Penn State 24-17 in OT. This week: at Indiana, 2:30 p.m., BTN. When you have lost 18 Big Ten games in a row, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory becomes a habit. That's how a win at Penn State slipped away.
12. Purdue (1-7, 0-4)
Last week: lost to Ohio State 56-0. This week: Iowa, 11 a.m., BTN. Since installing true freshman Danny Etling as the starting quarterback three games ago, the Boilermakers have scored exactly one touchdown.

I have downloaded Flash Builder 4.6 and CS Extension Builder 1.5 and we have one big problem related to design mode.
Actually when we switch to design the visual editor is completely black!
The same problem here.....no solution at all?
It's a no way. If you would like to use the "design mode", revert to FB 4.5.1
Seriously? Adobe has to update something to have design working on latest versions!
Crazy, it´s still not fixed! 4.6 and CSEB 1.5 with black screen in Design Mode. Is actually someone using it seriously? makes me doubt! cheers, florian
It's not going to be fixed.
The only version of FB where design mode really works is 4.0. Even in 4.5, it's very fragile for Flex 3. (Flex 4 should work fine.)
Yes. I use EB 1.5 all the time. The lack of a working Design Mode is annoying and makes devlopment somewhat less efficient, but it's not a show-stopper...
Harbs: Why this bug would not be fixed? Adobe is not making developments or corrections on FlashBuilder?
This bug is pretty annoying. It makes building interfaces slower and not efficient at all.
I was lucky that I found a Flash Builder 4 PlugIn in my Eclipse. There Design View seems to work...
But I still can´t believe that Adobe won´t fix such a big and annoying BUG!
How are we to make interfaces? And how is this not a show-stopper?
For CS6 you can use Spark components. Those work in the design view fine.
You can also try making a non-CS SDK project to build the UI, and copy the assets from there.

Financial management for architects: in choppy waters, make sure you have a clear view...
In the hurly burly of finding and competing for work, managing projects with increasing external pressures and keeping the bank manager at bay, staying on top of the finances can seem like a luxury. But unless you maintain a firm handle on fee levels, productivity, cash flow and profitability then you may suddenly find you have been holed and are going down. So keep in touch with the numbers, stay afloat and make sure you reach your destination.
The following topics will be covered whilst the content of the day will be tailored to suit the mix of delegates:
Speaker: Nick Coates, Nick Coates Business Consultancy, a chartered accountant, advises small and medium-sized businesses on strategic and financial issues. Before this, he spent four years as Finance Director for Bath based architects, Stubbs Rich. He has over 20 years' experience in a variety of businesses in the property sector both at a Director level and as a management consultant.

General Stoneham
Its actually been common knowledge among those who saw the thread I made upon stepping down, or out....
There was really no air to clear. I always laugh at the suggestion that I want to be a moderator, because the great bulk of them came after I actually left because while part of team CC, I felt somewhat constrained and felt I needed to have a more professional voice, simply because of my association, even though I was just a bystander...mostly with an occasional joke for the last year or so. Earlier on, before team CC grew, I did jump in more, but once Andy and Op took over... I knew CC had nothing to worry about...and even if it did... there really wasnt anything I could do about it anyways.
Anyways... for any thinking about becoming a mod, I guarantee you that you will be absolutely impressed with the sheer amount of work that goes on behind the scenes. The number of people giving their time and energy, and all with a positive attitude, is simply encouraging, and a great experience, that I feel very privileged to have seen and in a very small way, have been a part of. It is for this reason that I do spend time supporting the mods when I agree with them. But it is in an effort to thank them, not win their favor as many mistakenly surmise.
Methinks double bluff...
Sorry to dissappoint.
As a bluff in any way would be a fairly ridiculous one, since every single moderator would know it, not to mention lack himself obviously. I obviously cant divulge any real information about the specifics to quell your doubts, so if your ability to judge character isnt honed enough to see the truth for what it is, there is nothing more I can do to show you.
To be honest, convincing anyone isnt really the goal. Its actually more fun on my end to have those who question it.
GENERAL STONEHAM wrote:Actually AAFitz is the first "non-colored" named person that C.C. has hired for hazardous duty.

I'd like to thank C.C and their crusade to hire the "non-colored" among us.

If I were a mod, I would try to be a professional one, but it would limit me so much that I just wouldnt have any fun any more.

Minden's Susan Hunter recently completed the New Orleans Ironman 70.3. Hunter used this half-Ironman to prep for the upcoming Ironman Chattanooga (Tenn.) in September.
An Ironman competition consists of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bicycle ride and a marathon 26.2-mile run, raced in that order and without a break.
Hunter has completed 11 of her previous 12 Ironman races. Her only non-finish was due to an injury suffered in a crash during the bicycle portion of the race, in which organizers would not let her finish the race, as she wanted.]]>
Both coaches agreed that several match-ups would not be contested. Coach Wayne Orr said.]]>
The series will be the first meeting between the programs since 1989, when the Orange defeated the Tigers 23-10 in the Hall of Fame Bowl.]]>
SIBLEY — The Lakeside Lady Warriors dropped a tough one to Choudrant Tuesday night. Lakeside led 7-6 after six innings, but the Lady Aggies scored solo runs in top of the seventh to forced extra innings.
The Lady Aggies then scored in the eighth and then held Lakeside scoreless in the bottom of the inning to take the 8-7 win.]]>
Sure, there's 90 percent of the season left to be played. Slumping hitters are going to get hot. Injured players are going to return.]]>
The Tide led early, 1-0, but fell behind 4-1 as the Griffins scored a pair of runs in the top of the fourth and fifth innings.]]>
Calvary took a 1-0 lead in the top of the third inning, but the Warriors came right back to tie the game.]]>
The Crimson Tide will be hosting the Loyola College Prep Flyers that night at 6 p.m. at Griffith Stadium.]]>
The 5-2 results favored the Apaches as did the "mighty contests." "Collectively, we showcased some of the best play we have shown this season. There were times when "walk about's" crept in, but we remained calm, determined, and focused. Our boys' doubles won for the first time this season; the outing was a good one," noted coach Wayne Orr.]]>
At the same time Shanae Collins was making a 12 hour trek from a basketball recruiting trip in Nebraska. The long trip didn't seem to hurt as Collins won the long jump at 15'8" and the 100 meters at 12.82. She also took second in the triple jump at 33'1", a personal best.]]>

Is there a specific word that describes people who are easily impressed?
Consider susceptible ("likely to be affected by something", "easily influenced or tricked; credulous" and "(medicine) especially sensitive, especially to a stimulus"); and also consider impressionable ("Susceptible of impression; capable of receiving impressions; emotional"). An "impressionable person" may be someone on whom it's easy to make an impression, or may be someone at a formative stage such that impressions will last. Note, making an impression on someone can differ from impressing them.
Gullible, naive, guileless, ingenuous and unsuspecting might get close, but I doubt if there's any single word that specifically captures the 'easily impressed' sense.
Credulous is not quite right (too easily believe things rather than are impressed by them) but may work depending on what the situation is you are trying to describe.
I would add indiscriminate and fawning, the second especially for those already familiar with the subject they are impressed by. The is also a sense in which generous applies.

My 4 and a half year old daughter has been breastfed till now. But now I want to bottle feed her. She is not at all drinking from the bottle. I have even tried with the sippy cup but no luck. Please advise how I can make her drink from the bottle as I will be joining back work soon.
I think maybe you meant your four and half MONTH old?? If that is the case, then you need to introduce the bottle each day. Let someone else in your family try and feed her with the bottle when you are not in the room. Experiment with different bottle types and nipple shapes to find the one that she prefers. If you are not in the room, she may take a bottle better since she has no other alternative. Hope this helps. If you still have trouble getting her to take a bottle, talk with your pediatrician. There may be something she can recommend.

NewsPress Release -Radiation Experts Discuss Siting Communications Towers Near Schools
BRATTLEBORO, VT - On Saturday, May 19, from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. at The Persons School of Marlboro College, Gary Brown and Cindy Sage will present "Wireless LANs: Questions of Science, Health, Public Policy and Ethics." Brown and Sage are advocates for examining issues of siting wireless local area network (LAN) installations. Wireless LANs often involve installing communications towers on and around school buildings, creating electromagnetic radiation (EMR) that may be hazardous to public health.
The presentation will include an overview of some of the research issues, the wireless industry view, and standards -- from industry to government. The presentation will conclude with a look at the professional ethics and responsibilities that school stakeholders need to consider as well as an examination of other emerging communications technologies that may be less harmful. A question-and-answer period will follow the presentation.
In the information economy, wireless LANs are increasingly popular, since they transmit and receive data over the air, minimizing the need for wired connections. But according to EMR Network, a nonprofit awareness group, "electromagnetic radiation (EMR), which includes the extremely low frequencies (ELF), the radio frequencies (RF) and microwave (MW) radiation, may be hazardous to life and may constitute a significant threat to public health. This belief is based on credible research, spanning decades of scientific inquiry."
Organizations such as EMR Network are working to enhance local, regional, national, and international efforts to reduce, mitigate and where possible eliminate hazardous exposure to EMR, including advocating for local control of cellular towers.
Among the advocates for local control of tower-siting are U.S. Represenative Bernie Sanders (I-VT), U.S. Senator James Jeffords (R-VT) and U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT). Leahy has introduced legislation to restore local authority in tower-siting by repealing a 1996 law that gave sole jurisdiction to the Federal Communications Commission.
Gary Brown is a Ph.D. candidate in instructional technology and distance education. He is president and co-founder of Families for the Appropriate Cell Tower Siting (FACTS), based in Boca Raton, Florida.
Cindy Sage is the owner of Sage EMF Design (EMR is also known as electromagnetic fields, or EMF), an environmental consulting firm in Montecito, California. Sage has been involved in EMR issues as an environmental consultant and public policy researcher since 1982. She has provided professional consulting services to cities, counties, various states and a national policy group on the issue of EMR policy and prudent avoidance
More information about wireless LANs is available from EMR Network (www.emrnetwork.org) and FACTS (www.pbglobal.net/nopoles). Senator Leahys press release on this issue is also available from http://leahy.senate.gov/press/200012/001205.html
The presentation is free and open to the public, and The Persons School is fully accessible, located in the Marlboro College Technology Center, at 28 Vernon Street in downtown Brattleboro.

The great mountains of Skiddaw and Blencathra brood over the gray slate houses of Keswick (pronounced kezz-ick), on the scenic shores of Derwentwater. The town is a natural base for exploring the rounded, heather-clad Skiddaw range to the north, while the hidden valleys of Borrowdale and Buttermere (the latter reached by stunning Honister Pass) take you into the rugged heart of the Lake District. Nearby, five beautiful lakes are set among the three highest mountain ranges in England. The tourist information center here has regional information and is the place to get fishing permits for Derwentwater.
Keswick's narrow, cobbled streets have a grittier charm compared to the refined Victorian elegance of Grasmere or Ambleside. However, it's the best spot in the Lake District to purchase mountaineering gear and outdoor clothing. There are also many hotels, guesthouses, restaurants, and pubs.
