How do you decide on an air route?
Who decides on the best way to get from Frankfurt to New York?
A team of specialist flight service advisers called "dispatchers." They help the pilots calculate the flight route. This decision is influenced by a host of different factors: Which aircraft type is being used? What are the weather conditions? Do restrictions apply to a particular airspace en route? By signing his or her name, a pilot agrees to the dispatchers' suggestions. Along with the crew, the pilot is then responsible for the flight. In the event of bad weather, this also means making the decision to fly a detour.
Are there freeways in the sky?
Over the North Atlantic, we actually do have something like that, they're called North Atlantic Tracks or NATs for short. If we didn't, we would never be able to cope with the enormous amount of air traffic on that route. Due to the strong but inconsistent west wind, which never quite blows the same way, the NATs are determined on a daily basis. The principle is this: Reduce the headwind on the route from Europe to America, and maximize the tailwind on the way back.
What happens if the weather turns bad all of a sudden?
Because we need to prepare for all eventualities, including bad weather and anything else that could make it impossible for us to land at our destination airport, we have to select an alternative airport before even leaving the ground. That way, we can take along enough fuel reserves for a longer flight than originally expected. So it's always possible to make a safe landing.

From the time I became a Mason I knew my next novel would deal in some way with Freemasonry. I had two choices: write something along the lines of a Dan Brown novel, or have a more realistic story where one or more characters are Masons. I chose the latter. A Death on the Wolf is a coming of age story set in southern Mississippi during the summer of 1969. The main character, Nelson Gody, is a fifteen-year-old wrestling with all the typical teenage issues, but guided by a widower father who is a Mason, and who takes to heart the tenets of Freemasonry and lives his life accordingly. As we follow Nelson over the course of that summer we see how he is influenced by the way he's been raised as he faces moral and ethical dilemmas centered around falling in love for the first time, dealing with a secret his best friend has been hiding, and a dark stranger who one day rides into town on an exotic motorcycle. The summer ends with the devastating effects of Hurricane Camille, which laid waste to the Mississippi Gulf Coast in August of 1969.
A Death on the Wolf is available in trade paperback ($15.99) or e-book ($4.99) at Amazon or other online booksellers.

The All-Powerful
Posted by JD on January 31, 2011
Like many of my best-intentioned plans, my countdown to Spring Training quickly fizzled. Not only is Amazin' Avenue doing it better (and with pictures!), it turns out that I couldn't even get the actual number of days right! That was particularly humbling. It turns out that pitchers and catchers are due to report two whole days earlier than I thought. So, there goes that idea.
That being said, I'd written up a couple of entries in advance, so I'm going to trot them out over the next few days. Here is what would have been my day twenty entry: Kurt Abbott.
Drafted by the Oakland A's on my twelfth birthday, the former 15th round pick joined the Mets as a free agent on January 26, 2000. Abbott would appear in 79 games for the Mets that year, hitting .217/.283/.389 in 173 plate appearances. His -0.5 rWAR (B-R.com) tied him with Matt Franco and Rickey Henderson for worst on the team, non-Rey Ordonez division (to be fair, Ordonez was lost for the season after only 29 games). So, he's got that going for him.
It was in that year's World Series that I (drunkenly) gave him the nickname of the All-Powerful Kurt Abbott. I was watching game one at my Yankee-fan friend's house, surrounded by his Yankee-fan family and Yankee-fan friends, the lone Mets fan in the room. The Yankees had taken a 2-0 lead on a David Justice double in the bottom of the sixth, but the Mets rallied to take a 3-2 lead in the seventh (shockingly, Bubba Trammell was prominently involved). The Yankees sent Mariano Rivera to the mound in the top of the ninth to hold the fort. He promptly retired Jay Payton, but plunked Todd Pratt.
With a man on first, one out, and Mike Bordick due to hit, Bobby Valentine tapped Kurt Abbott to pinch hit. I was not overwhelmed by optimism. In an effort to get ahead of (what I thought) was an inevitable double-play grounder, I said something like "the All-Powerful Kurt Abbott will save the day". Abbott promptly lined a double to right field to advance Pratt to third. Neither Timo Perez nor Edgardo Alfonzo could capitalize on the opportunity and the Mets failed to score. The Yankees went on to win the game (and ultimately the World Series), but a nickname was born.
Fun Fact: Kurt Abbott is a cop in Florida. That's him on the left, giving the hand to a perp he had just apprehended.

Woman Regains Mobility After Voluntarily Amputating Her Foot
COLUMBIA - Walking the halls of Parkade Elementary School, Judy Berna reunites with her childhood memories and her earliest fears.
"I remember feeling not like everybody else, but wanting to be like everybody else," Berna said recalling her years spent at the school.
While at Parkade, Judy learned at a young age that life isn't always fair.
"This was definitely when I was in these halls, the transition that I realized that it was different. It was something that I was going to have forever."
Doctors diagnosed Judy with spina bifida when she was born, leading her parents to take her to Boston Children's Hospital for treatment.
"It's a lot of uncertainty, I had never heard about this type of thing," Judy's dad Leon Johnson said. "We didn't know how to interpret it and how to go from here."
Spina bifida is the incomplete development of the spinal cord, coverings or spine. Doctor's tried to fix Judy's case when she was a baby.
"Sent me home and said best of luck and it seemed like everything went great," Judy said. It wasn't until she came to Parkade, that she first noticed her left foot start to curl in the fifth grade.
"Always when I had a growth spurt, the spinal cord was blocking the signals," Judy said. "I couldn't go do all the things I wanted to do."
The disease left her foot useless, curling more with every growth spurt. Judy used crutches and a leg brace to get around. "I still can't remember what it feels like to run," she said.
So, Judy got used to watching life from the sidelines. "You know I had four kids who were middle school down to five and it just wasn't fair that I didn't get to go do things."
After nearly three decades of letting her foot step in the way of her mobility, she decided to take action.
"I really started to think maybe I need to think about amputation, I mean that was drastic."
Sounds pretty crazy, right?
"I think it's so shocking that you don't have a reaction," Judy's dad said.
In 2004, at the age of 37, Judy decided to replace her less-than-perfect foot, with a prosthetic state-of-the-art one.
"Mine is a back wards story that I was thrilled to have it done, I couldn't wait to get rid of it. It meant I got to start over," Judy said.
Doctor's were skeptical of what Judy proposed, calling her foot healthy, but she fought for one that worked. A doctor in Utah ended up amputating her deformed foot just above the ankle near the mid-calf, leaving enough room for her prosthetic foot to fit.
"I always say it's my hero because I can do everything I want to do."
Since the surgery, Judy's been skiing, hiking and bike riding, no longer disabled by a deteriorating limb.
"I clicked this leg on and it was amazing, like I just felt like this is what I've waited for," Judy said.
A 37-year wait, to finally step off the sidelines and into a new walk of life.
"I felt like I was finally one whole piece," she said.
Judy also wrote a book about her experience titled, "Just One Foot: How Amputation Cured My Disability." For more information on Judy or her book, click here.

This complicated, mechanical-looking lense fits over the eye of a humanoid, fitting and staying in place magically. The wearer of this device may press a button on the side of the lense as a free action to activate it once per day. While activated, the wearer can deactivate it at any time by pressing the button again as another free action.
While activated, the device will record everything the wearer sees for up to 7 minutes (70 rounds) using any visual abilities or enhancements the wearer possesses. At the end of the 7 minutes, the device automatically deactivates. If the device is deactivated before the end of the 7 minutes, it can be used again the next day to record more, picking up the recording where it left off until it has a total of 7 minutes recorded. The wearer can restart reording from the beginning on any given day by holding the button down as a move-quivalent action, or an action as part of another move action that doesn't require at least one hand.
Anyone wearing the Eye Scribe can watch what it has recorded by concentrating for as long as the recording lasts. Concentrating on watching is a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity. The wearer can make a concentration check to watch the video quickly (DC 15), taking one-tenth the time to watch the whole video, though still requiring a full-round action that provokes attacks of opportunity each round. The watcher can begin the video at any recorded point (in terms of rounds, for example six round into the recording) as a free action at the beginning of the round they begin to watch with a DC 10 Concentration check. Any attempt to begin the recording at a point that has no recording (like 12 rounds into a recording that's only 9 rounds long) automatically fails.
Upon being put on, the user is immediately aware of any existing recording and its overall length, though not the content of the recording or the indentity of the recorder. They are also aware of how to operate the device.
This device only records visual information in the form of a silent "video." For auditory recording or both audio and video, see the Ear Scribe or Journal Stone, respectively.
Prerequisites: CL 7th; Craft Wondrous Item; clairaudience, mnemonic enhancer, silent image; 5,400 gp + 404 XP.

European cities implemented special measures in place from Monday 16 March, to limit the spread of Coronavirus. Local postal service providers need to comply with these measures and may have reduced staff numbers so not able to deliver all mail to specifications.

The USA has has introduced special quarantine measures against Coronavirus. As a result, USPS may not be able to deliver mail to specifications, signatures on delivery may be suspended in order to prevent spread of the infection. Delays to mail services can be expected.

The Boston Bruins take on the Chicago Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup finals that kick off tonight.
(Watch Game One live tonight at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.)
Bruins right wing Jaromir Jagr, 41, will be returning to the finals for the first time since 1992. That year, 20-year-old Jagr won his second title with the Pittsburgh Penguins, beating the Blackhawks.
The world has changed a lot since Jagr's last appearance in the Stanley Cup; let's take a look:
· Jagr's home country was still known as Czechoslovakia.
· Bruins defenseman Dougie Hamilton wasn't even born yet.
· The Internet wasn't being used by the public yet; it was mostly reserved for the government and big universities.
· "End of the Road" by Boyz II Men and "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix A-lot were at the top of the music charts.
· "Aladdin" and "Home Alone Two: Lost In New York" were the top grossing movies at the box office.
· People still used car phones and a new device—the cell phone—was being introduced.
· A gallon of gas cost $1.05.
· Microsoft released Windows 3.1.
· The first Super Soaker water gun was one of this most popular holiday gift purchases.
· The top primetime television shows were "60 Minutes" and "Rosanne."
A Lot Has Changed Since Jaromir Jagr Last played in the Stanley Cup

Professional Community for Car Dealers, Marketing, Advertising and Sales Leaders
I was reading a few recent Social Media related posts on ADM and realized that depending on who you ask, the definitions of what an "Automotive Social Media Marketing" strategy should entail can be quite different.
For example, there are those that believe if you have a decent Facebook Page, then your dealership has covered the Social Media Marketing gamut (wrong)... Then on the other extreme, there are those that profess a need to have the dealership's name secured as a profile on 300+ social media type networks, with content then published to every single one of those sites on a regular basis... and ONLY then will you have it covered for your dealership (wrong again). What I have learned while creating and assisting in the creation of automotive social media marketing (SMM) strategies for car companies, dealer groups, single-point dealers and automotive vendors is that an effective Automotive SMM Strategy is both comprehensive and clearly defined around a combination of software tools, workflow processes, content creation, customer engagement, targeted social networks, dealership brand protection, monitoring and the roles and responsibilities of those assigned to execute the tasks which support the strategy... As well as those who are designated to monitor, supervise and evaluate their execution of those tasks as an ongoing dealership management function.
The purpose of this ADM Professional Community Forum discussion is to serve as a "Living Document" based on the specific objectives around defining what a comprehensive "Automotive Social Media Marketing Strategy" for a car dealer should either include or consider.
In order to keep this discussion focused and confined to a manageable space, and specific to the marketing role of social media, let's save Dealership Reputation Management for its own separate discussion.
I will start this off by listing the functional areas that I have personally seen included up to the current point in time and hope to get your input and feedback on describing areas that should also be included in the practice of social media marketing for car dealers and car companies.
Information Resources Used to Prepare this Article: In addition to my own first hand and direct experience in creating or assisting in the creation and implementation of automotive social media strategies for Ford, Toyota, Honda, ADP Social Media, Tier10 Marketing, Team Velocity Marketing, several large dealer groups and well over 300 individual dealerships I have been paid to serve, I used information, narratives and descriptions provided by the teams at YouTube, Hubspot, Knowem, Marin, Facebook and especially the white papers published by Wildfire, a Google owned social media marketing services and technology supplier.
The Wildfire research team provided me with a comprehensive checklist document written by an independent social media consultant who designed it as a tool for selecting SMM software applications and platforms. I highly recommend that you download this PDF and use it when evaluating BOTH the software systems available for your dealership to use in the implementation and execution of your SMM strategy, AND the services offered by SMM "Full Service" providers to the auto industry. The SMM application evaluation checklist document that I use was created by:

Thank you, Bobby... I have many hours invested into this article and the payoff will be when dealers use it to get a better handle on the social media marketing strategy issues that so many expressed concern to me about at AutoCon 2012 in Las Vegas.
For dealers who decide to use this article as a stimulus to develop an effective and profitable social media marketing strategy, here are a few more files that may help you make better decisions on how to craft the tactical items that when put together in the entire plan, make up a successful overall strategy...
Thanks for sharing. I do social media every day and still managed to feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information you presented. Looking forward to utilizing some of these strategies.
Here is a GREAT example of a dealership DIY in-house produced, edited and distributed Vehicle Presentation Video (VPV) from Ken Beam at Douglas VW in Summit, New Jersey:
this guy does a GREAT walkaround. also sounds like a true car guy. seems like a worthwhile investment to produce a custom video of new car models - use your best walkaround staff - also a chance to highlight veteran team members and give them something to use in social media personally.
BE SURE TO GET MODEL RELEASE FROM STAFF THOUGH - i saw a store sued because a former salesperson (yeah he was a schmuck) had his face appear in the background of an ad. . . another one for legal counsel

Because automotive sales professionals have always used stories to sell cars, and social media is the modern channel for storytelling...
I am attaching a PDF explaining the updates and improvements to Wildfire 2.0...
This video was provided by my contact at Google that works with me on understanding how to most effectively use the Wildfire 2.0 Suite of Social Marketing applications. It is a good video to watch when considering what app technologies you will use as part of driving efficienciy into your social media marketing strategy:

Wow, Ralph....I must have missed this article when it posted....hard to keep up with them all. I haven't even read through it yet, but the work you put into this looks unbelievable. Thanks for all you do here. As a small, rural dealer without the budget to hire consultants to help me with this, I need to learn as much as I can on my own and implement as I learn. Thanks for your part in that. God Bless

Tom, for me this is a labor of love and a means of giving back to a network of dealers that has been very good to me over the past 30 years. I hope this helps and your comment simply makes my day! Thank you very much. You wil notice I have been adding more file downloads and content since originally posted. My intent is to continue adding value to this Forum. The shortcut URL is www.DealerSocial.org to make it easy for you and others to come directly here.

Tesla's Competition
Tesla's Competition
Not this BS again.
I dont' know of any EV sports car on sale with all-wheel drive. The Audi e-Tron prototype and Mercedes AMG e-cell feature electric AWD. Audi plans to sell a rear wheel drive version. Mercedes plans to start sales in 2013. Prices are not known yet but will be in the $150k upwards region.
I think Tesla is not ignoring the competitors but beating them.
For those that need AWD, be it a sports car or not, they just have to wait until Tesla is a volume manufacturer with the financial and engineering resources to support a wide variety of different cars.
For the last time, IT'S ON THEIR TO DO LIST.
For the love of sanity, Tesla has FINITE RESOURCES and can't do everything at once! They needed to show that EVs worked; the Roadster proved that. Next, Tesla has to prove to the world that they can mass produce their cars in a quick and reliable fashion; the Model S should do that (we will see, and I have confidence that they will). ONCE THOSE TWO STEPS ARE ACCOMPLISHED, THEN TESLA CAN START ON THE EXTRAS. NOT BEFORE, NO MATTER HOW MUCH PEOPLE WHINE ABOUT NEEDING AWD (which you don't, by the way).
I live in Ketchum, idaho and I need -not want but need- a front-wheel drive automobile for our snowy winters. All-wheel drive is better, but only incrementally. Front-wheel drive moves through snow much better than RWD and with a set of studless snow tires, even a Roadster will do well enough in winter with its refined traction software, but a FWD car will do even better.
I hear Vawikus' and VolkerP's arguments and I don't disagree, but I also know the pain of bringing a warm-weather car to snowy climes. FWD is simply better on snow and ice, particularly if the motor is over those wheels.
A question more interesting to me is whether Tesla will offer one of the several types of heads-up displays in the Model S. It will make travel markedly safer.
Newsflash: the motor in the Roadster and S is over the rear wheels. All 120 lbs of it.
@Gary, I thought so too (only AWD) living up here in Canada...with the Roadster's traction control, you don't need it...I don't think you will in the Model S either...winter 2011, head to a Tesla store & take a Roadster for a test drive in the snow...you'll be amazed...
I fully agree that an AWD version for Tesla should be far down on the list. I have had a variety of cars, none of which had 4WD and I wish I had a $1 for every AWD car I have had to go around. In the Roadster with a lot of weight over the rear wheels traction is NOT an issue. Keep good tires on the car, possibly snow tires if you live in the far north and you will do fine.

Seriously, I've heard a couple bad reports of their Customer Service. I have ordered from them in the past, but why would I want to spend my money there when you have great vendors like Cope's that will treat you fair.
I have bought from Cope's, they are an A+ kind of people!!!!
RGUNS is really developing a reputation with the people. I for one have had a bad experience with ammo. And, a LACK of customer support.
I would avoid ever doing business with RGUNS!
I too have been shafted by R-guns.net. When I was in asscrackistan, I placed an order for a DPMS .308 AR. I had already arranged with my FFL guy to receive the rifle in. I was told by the sales rep that I would be put onto a waiting list, which would be about 2 months. Ok, fine with me, I can wait.
3 months later I emailed rguns, and asked about the status. They said that the rifles were coming in soon, and that they should be shipping out within a week. The next day, they charged the $1050.oo to my account. I took this as a ray of hope, that my rifle would be in my hands soon.
Everything seemed to be going well, until 2 months later, I get stateside and try to call them. I explained the situation to the person on the phone (Very rude), and I asked them why my rifle hasn't been shipped out, after getting the order over 5 months ago. The lady said "Yeah, your package is ready, we will ship tomorrow."
At this point, I am getting rather angry with their shitty cust. service. So I call back the next day. I had to break it down barney style, since these people obviously need a babysitter. After sitting on hold for a good 5 minutes, a man took my call. I explained to him the situation, and this guy was even ruder! He said that I was impatient, and that my "Shit" would be out the door "Tomorrow".
*Ahem* "BULLSHIT!" I called him out on it, and he got mad when I told him they said the same shit to me yesterday, and that I couldn't be fooled again. He promptly hung up the phone one me, and I had to wait until the next day to call him. (If I called back, They would've probably sent ME shit in a box).
Again, I called the next day, and asked that they canc my order, and give me a full refund. The asshole on the other end said "Yeah I'll look into that for ya" Translation: 'Yeah, I'll forget about it and gaff you off'
SO, I called back again, 10 minutes later. Different guy this time, (Another ass), and he looked up the order and "Canceled it". Finally, after a week of no refund, I called once again, and asked to talk to the manager. This time, I was irate. How could they treat a customer like this!? I know that it's a sellers market right now, but what the fuck? He finally said, Ok, I'll cancel your order right now.
The next few days, I finally got my money back. The whole nightmarish ordeal took over 6 months. I will never EVER order from Rguns.net again.
These guys are real douchebags, and they should be avoided like the plague. I hope they go out of business soon. I complained to the BBB also, hopefully people will realize what shitbags these jokers are.
I know that I revived a dead thread, but rather than start a new one, I decided to just add to this one.
LOOKS like RGUNS has not changed a bit?!?!
I will NEVER do business with RGUNS ever again!!!!!!!!!!!
The sucky part is you likely ended up paying interest you will never get back if you didn't pay if off immediately after they charged you. Glad you got your money back. I was looking at them for a 308 Upper now I know better.
Not to be the defender of the wicked but I ordered from them and they delivered. They have the Yugo M72 RPK parts I need and at good prices too. I plan on ordering one more time.
Maybe someone will bring this thread to their attention and they can ponder their poor customer service and how word spreads quickly when it is bad.

APEX Exterior Asset Management
I have been an insurance consultant for a storm restoration company for 5 years. We specialize in identifying storm damage and working with insurance companies to achieve the best settlement possible. We would like to expand this service to commercial buildings, i.e., apartment complexes, commercial office buildings, high rises, etc... We will be offering these consulting services, the ability to be the contractor and perform the work, and a preventative maintenance program. We will also offer energy efficient and green options.
We are targeting property management companies and owners of multi-family and commercial buildings.
We need a logo that looks professional and becomes a recognizable brand to our customers. The company name is APEX, and exterior asset management is more of a tagline. I'm open to all ideas. The logo can include just the name, the name and tagline, or whatever comes to mind. I'm just looking for something that is not a standard roofing company logo. We are roofing contractors, but our service is more of a way to help customers with their bottom line through assisting with insurance claims and designing customized maintenance plans for their exterior assets. I will attach a link to the logos of 2 other companies that perform a similar service. Any color schemes are welcome.

The once-thriving industry has been forced on to the defensive by a three-year slowdown in the wind market, and AEE is lobbying for an early lift of the government's indefinite moratorium on new wind projects, in force from 1 January. The party's over, says Eduard Sala de Vedruna, senior analyst at energy consultants IHS Emerging Energy Research (IHS EER). Even if the suspension is lifted as early as 2014, he says, severe cuts to price-support mechanisms will prevent any return to the 2GW annual rates of just a few years ago.
The last wind permits issued by Spain formed part of a 7GW allocation for the 2009-2012 period. With the vacuum ahead, factory closures have been rife and AEE calculates more than 14,000 job losses across the sector since 2009. IHS EER foresees new average annual installed capacity crawling back up to 850MW by 2016-2025, at best - far adrift of Spain's promise to Brussels to reach 35.7GW by 2020, from just under 22GW today.
Uprooting and exporting
Recent business plans from Spain's top two wind players, Gamesa and Iberdrola, are telling. Utility Iberdrola plans to install 1.4GW of new capacity over the two years to 2014 - but all outside Spain, with a strong focus on offshore in the UK, where it has its global offshore base.
Turbine manufacturer and developer Gamesa plans to slash 20% of its workforce - 1,800 jobs globally, a third of them in Spain. The company is consolidating its remaining two Spanish nacelle plants and extensive component and services facilities into a western hub, balancing its eastern hub in China, with local production continuing in India, Brazil and the US. Spanish factories will produce for Europe, North Africa and even for the American continent, including Mexico. In fact, Gamesa's Spanish side is now competing with its substantial US facilities for turbine orders.
Gamesa's main rival in Spain, Denmark's Vestas, is also dedicating its dramatically downsized local capacity to neighbouring markets. Domestic competitor, Acciona Windpower, which also has nacelle facilities in the US and Brazil, is doing the same.
"The internationalisation of the Spanish wind sector has been under way for well over five years" says Peter Sweatman of consultancy Climate Strategy. "Companies are merely shifting more business outside than before."
Eastern Europe was a close first step for international expansion and traditional Spanish links meant an early advantage in the fast-growing Latin American market, says Sweatman. While big global devopers such as Acciona, Iberdrola and Gamesa are also in China and the US, smaller Spanish outfits such as Eolia, Preneal, Gestamp, Renovalia and Fersa y Elecnor have developed the lion's share of the Latin American market.
At its inception more than 15 year ago, large-scale Spanish wind development was tied in with creating local industry and services, with a focus on research and development (R&D), says Sweatman. The resulting knowledge base and auxiliary service firms are competing on the global stage. Gamesa's maintenance arm, Global Energy Services, was acquired by UK venture capital firm 3i, while wind-resource engineering firm Barlovento has new offices across Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, Mexico and Romania. Engineering firm Ingeteam has opened a generator and converter facility in the US state of Wisconsin. "The list is long and varied," says Cena.
Core technology stays
Latin America may later demand local factories, but Sweatman expects the sophisticated lightweight-component technology, together with patents, designs and software to remain in Spain. That is, indeed, Gamesa's stated aim. And even Alstom, a French engineering giant with extensive domestic research facilities, is developing the technology behind its 6MW offshore machine in Barcelona, home of the Spanish turbine maker Ecotecnia, which it acquired in 2006.
According to Cena, the main threat to Spain salvaging its domestic industry is China's improving technology. Coupled with the Chinese state's willingness to finance developers using that technology, AEE fears the remnants of Spain's wind market could opt for Chinese imports.

Last week, I celebrated a birthday, not a big one, but one of the little ones that follows a jubilee year. Unlike many of my friends, I don't mind getting older as long as being my age doesn't mean that I look my age, act my age or feel my age. However, birthdays, even for those of us who have surpassed the big milestones, seem to bring a certain amount of angst. Wouldn't it be wonderful if adults felt the same pure joy about their birthdays that children do?
Think back to one of your childhood birthdays. Do you remember the anticipation you felt looking forward to your party, the cake and ice cream, and the presents from family and friends? I do. I remember the birthday when I got my first Beetles' album; I was six. I remember the year I got my add-a-bead necklace; I was 13. And, I remember my 18th birthday when I got the electric typewriter that would get me through college in the days before computers and iPads.
For those of us who are parents, I am sure we also remember many special birthdays of our children, like the first one when they got cake all over their faces, or when they got their first bikes, or the years that the parties were at Mr. Gatti's or Chuck E. Cheese's. All of these birthdays are special. When you think about it, every birthday for every person is special. It is a time to celebrate being here on earth, being part of a community that cares about you and being loved by family and friends.
At Family Scholar House, we provide housing and support for disadvantaged single-parent college students and their children. All of our families are transitioning from poverty, homelessness and, most often, domestic violence, through education. Children living in poverty and experiencing homelessness and violence in their families often suffer the low self-esteem that comes from wondering whether they are the reason that life seems so difficult for their parents. They are never to blame; however, that does not keep children from internalizing the pain and blaming themselves. Our counselors and therapists work with all of our children to help them let go of their feelings of responsibility for their families' challenges and reclaim their childhood. And, celebrating birthdays with their moms – experiencing the joy of being valued simply for being here on earth – is an important part of their healing.
Currently, we have 168 families in our residential program and those families have a total of 265 children. We want all of the children in our families to feel the joy and excitement of their birthdays; but, with very limited resources and no discretionary income, our student parents struggle to provide the very basics of a birthday celebration for their children.
Fortunately, we have a small group of supporters who understand how meaningful it can be for a child to feel special on his or her birthday. These birthday benefactors provide support for our student parents to celebrate their children's birthdays by donating $20 gift cards that cover the purchase of a toy or game, a cake mix, icing and candles – the basics of a birthday party. This allows student parents to provide a special celebration that is not only important for their children, but also a very meaningful reminder of the blessings that their children are for them. Yet, we have experienced significant growth in the past two years, tripling our residential capacity, and we need more birthday benefactors to share in the appreciation of these precious children.
This year, I invite you to adopt a new tradition in celebrating your own birthday. I invite you to remember the excitement you felt about your special day when you were a child and share that feeling with disadvantaged children by being a birthday benefactor for Family Scholar House. Please consider making birthday celebrations special for some or all of the FSH children who share your birth month.
To learn more about Family Scholar House and our commitment to helping disadvantaged student parents realize their educational goals to become contributing members of our community, please visit our website at www.FamilyScholarHouse.org.
To say, "Yes! I want to help children have happy birthdays,†please contact us at 502.813.3086. I promise that by making a child's birthday special your birthday will have more joy also.
Happy Birthday from Family Scholar House.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, "Mosquito" (Interscope Records)
From the opening seconds of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' fourth album, you'll wonder how you have lived without the dulcet tones of Karen O for the four years since the release of their third album, "It's Blitz." No one else has a voice quite like hers.
But the indie rock trio's new album is different from their Grammy-nominated 2009 effort: Every track on "Mosquito" could be a single.
The album opens with "Sacrilege," which is brilliantly constructed with pounding drums, leading into layered, screeching background vocals. The title track buzzes with a hypnotic rhythm, reminding you integral drums are to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' sound. The lyrics are almost comical, but add to the feverish frenzy with lines like, "Suck your blood, they're gonna suck your blood."
Beauty emerges in the album's quieter moments, too: "Subway" uses the lulling rhythm of a train travelling down the tracks, as Karen O sings softly and quietly, "I lost you in the subway car, got caught without my Metro card." The softness is reminiscent of "Maps" on the band's 2003 debut, "Fever to Tell."
Yeah, yeah, yeah - they still got it.

A fight between two tourists over a prime location to take selfies in front of Trevi Fountain in Rome quickly escalated as six other people joined the brawl. The incident happened when a 19-year-old woman from the Netherlands clashed with a 44-year-old American woman as they attempted to take a selfie in front of the iconic fountain "when the light makes the fountain a perfect backdrop," according to the Guardian.
The two tourists started shouting at each other before punches were thrown. As the two brawled, their family members stepped in and the situation spiraled out of control. Police had to be called to break up the fight between the eight angry tourists.
A pair of officers managed to bring the situation under control for a few minutes, but they had to call for backup when the two groups started fighting again.
The tourists sustained minor injuries and were charged for their violent actions.

Abstract: The purpose of this short note is to give counter examples for the unsolvability of the Fermat- and Steiner-Weber-problem by compass and ruler. The used point sets made it possible to obtain for the Fermat - problem polynomials of the degree 3 and 4. Thus, for these counter examples Galois theory and computer algebra is not necessary. In the second part is given a counter example for the construction of the true length of Steiner trees in the three-dimensional space.

Deputies try to ID would-be robber
PALM COAST, Fla. – The Flagler County Sheriff's Office is hoping the public can assist in identifying a would-be robber in a failed robbery attempt Wednesday at a Palm Coast gas station.
Deputies responded to a Mobil Station at 220 Palm Coast Parkway just after 5 a.m. Thursday after a clerk reported a man tried to rob her.
The victim said the white man entered the store with his shirt covering his lower face and his right arm under his shirt. He then demanded money and implied he had a gun, deputies said. At one point, the man threatened with the woman by saying, "Don't make me use it," deputies said.
When the clerk refused to hand over any money, the man left the store, walking behind the building toward the northeast side of the store, deputies said.
The would-be robber is described as being about 6 feet tall with a medium build and brown hair. He was wearing light colored cargo shorts, a gray T-shirt, black glasses and black slider sandals. He may have a tattoo on his outer right calf and a scar on his forehead near his hairline.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Flagler County Sheriff's Office at 386-313-4911.

A Beverly Hills hedge fund manager was arrested Friday on a charge he bilked investors out of $44.3 million, including $5 million he lost playing poker, the U.S. attorney's office said.
Bradley L. Ruderman, 46, surrendered to FBI agents after being named in a wire fraud complaint. He was later released on $500,000 bond.
The government alleges he spent at least $8.7 million of investor money on personal expenses including a summer rental of a Malibu beach home and two Porsches. He admitted in an FBI interview that he lost $5.2 million of investor money in poker games held in a Beverly Hills luxury hotel suite, the U.S. attorney's office said in a statement.
U.S. & World
A message seeking comment was left at the offices of Ruderman's attorney, James D. Riddet of Santa Ana.
A federal judge last month froze Ruderman's assets after the Securities and Exchange Commission filed a complaint alleging he falsely told investors his hedge funds had hundreds of millions of dollars in assets.
Ruderman's scheme lasted from 2002 until its collapse this year, according to the wire fraud complaint.
He allegedly raised $44.3 million from 22 investors with claims of annual returns as high as 60 percent.
Many of the victims named in the complaint were Ruderman's own relatives, U.S. attorney's spokesman Thom Mrozek said.
The complaint said he lied about profits, repeatedly sent false account statements to investors and reported he had $206 million in funds under management after actually losing $3 million in 2008 and beginning 2009 with a net value of only $588,246.
If convicted, Ruderman faces a maximum of 20 years in federal prison.

Senate Finally Holds Weak 'Debate' On FISA Amendments Act... But Terrorism!
from the and-therefore-we-shouldn't-even-know-what's-going-on deptWhile some in the Senate tried to skip over debate of the likely unconstitutional FISA Amendments Act, the Senate finally held a rushed and scripted "debate" today, which did very little to actually explore the issues (and the Senate Chamber was mostly empty during the "debate"). Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley did their best to raise significant issues, but Senator Dianne Feinstein kept shutting them down with bogus or misleading arguments, almost always punctuated with scary claims about how we had "only four days!" to renew the FISA Amendment Acts or "important" tools for law enforcement would "expire." It turns out that's not actually true. While the law would expire, the
Furthermore, Feinstein continued to mislead (bordering on outright lies) about the FISA Amendments Act. While some of the proposed amendments focused on finally forcing the secret interpretation of the FISA Amendments Act to be disclosed, Feinstein held up the text of the bill and insisted there "is no secret law" and that "the text is public." That assumes that "the law" and "the text of the legislation" are one and the same. They are not. As Julian Sanchez notes, imagine that Supreme Court rulings were all classified, how would you interpret the Constitution? You could make guesses, based on what the law said, but without the court's rulings, you would not know what that meant in practice. That's exactly the situation we have with the FISA Amendments Act... and it's made even worse by the fact that those who have seen the still-secret interpretation -- such as Senator Wyden -- have made it clear that its quite different than what most people think the law says.
Even more ridiculous is that the text of the FISA Amendments Act has been set since September. There's been plenty of time to actually debate these issues. Hell, last year's renewal for just one year was conditioned on the promise from the Senate that there would be debate this year. Yet they wait until December 27th to hold this fake "debate" with Feinstein spreading FUD up and down about how not renewing this for another five years means the terrorists win? This is a really shameful display of Congress caving to law enforcement's almost certainly unconstitutional desire to be able to widely spy on almost any information it can get its hands on, so long as they claim collecting that info might possibly somehow help in discovering illegal behavior by non-US citizens.
What's amazing is that those supporting the renewal of the FISA Amendments Act continue to take it on faith that the law is not being abused, even as there's already been an admission that some of the activities violated the 4th Amendment (but no further evidence of what happened or how that would be prevented), and even other tools that we were told were "proven" and "crucial" to the "war on terrorism" later turned out to be expensive boondoggles that were no help at all. Senator Saxby Chambliss was particularly ridiculous in this discussion, insisting that because there was that admission earlier this year that the 4th Amendment was abused, it shows that "oversight is working." This ignores that no further exploration followed to see how widespread the abuse was. Again, Julian Sanchez highlights just how ridiculous this is by noting that the fact that the argument is completely tautological in saying that oversight works because abuse has been discovered.
Congress has both the mandate and the obligation to oversee how law enforcement is using its surveillance powers -- and yet many of its members, led by Senator Dianne Feinstein and Saxby Chambliss, appear to be abdicating that job due to OMG TERRRORISM!@#!@#!!
Update: And they just voted on Senator Leahy's amendment, which was a pretty simple one, just shortening the term of this extension from 5 years to 3 years. All it would do is require that the next debate on this happen sooner, rather than later, but it was voted down (52 to 38) by Senators who'd rather not even discuss the fact that they're allowing the NSA and other law enforcement officials to regularly violate the Constitution. Just punt that question as far down the field as possible, I guess.
Update: And, down goes another amendment. Senator Merkley's amendment would have "encouraged" that secret interpretations of the FISA Amendments Act made by the FISA court be made public (in redacted form). This seems like common sense, but the Senate voted it down (54 to 37) -- because, apparently they like secret laws which the public isn't even allowed to know about, even if it means the NSA can snoop on nearly all of their communications without a warrant.
Update: And there goes another one. Senator Rand Paul introduced an amendment clarifying that the 4th Amendment protects all of your communications. The Senate rejected it by an overwhelming margin, 79 to 12, because apparently protecting your privacy and upholding the 4th Amendment is not the kind of thing the Senate supports these days.

Israel is nearing its end and the Holocause was a lie, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Friday, as violent protests broke out in Tehran between hard liners and opposition groups.
"The pretext (Holocaust) for the creation of the Zionist regime (Israel) is false ... It is a lie based on an unprovable and mythical claim," he told worshippers Friday at Tehran University at the end of an annual anti-Israel "Qods (Jerusalem) Day" rally.
"Confronting the Zionist regime (Israel) is a national and religious duty."
The opposition held its first major protests since July, even as tens of thousands marched in government-sponsored rallies marking an annual anti-Israel commemoration. At one opposition rally, hardliners pushed through the crowd and attacked former President Mohamad Khatami, a cleric who is one of the most prominent pro-reform figures, according to a reformist Web site. The report cited witnesses as saying the opposition activists rescued Khatami and quickly repelled the assailants.
U.S. & World
Since coming to power in 2005, Ahmadinejad has provoked international condemnation for saying the Holocaust was a "myth" and calling Israel a "tumor" in the Middle East. His government held a conference in 2006 questioning the fact that Nazis used gas chambers to kill 6 million Jews in World War Two.
The outrageous claims came a day after Ahmadinejad, in an NBC interview, said three hikers being held in Iran for crossing over from Iraq "deserve to be punished," and that he will not give in to international pressure to end a nuclear program he insisted is peaceful.

No Gays in Iran… But Many Same-Sex Couples
New America Media, Commentary
William O. Beeman, Posted: Sep 26, 2007
Editor's Note: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's comment that homosexuality does not exist in Iran like it does in the West is true in a sense, writes anthropologist William Beeman. In fact, same-sex relations in Iran do look very different from what is called gay behavior in the West.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was derided for his statement in a Sept. 24 speech at Columbia University that homosexuality doesn't exist in Iran. Though many Americans may find it incredible, differences in the construction of sexual behavior do exist across cultures.
As an anthropologist, I can state with confidence that sexuality varies tremendously between cultures. The notion that one is either "gay" or "straight" does not accord with what we observe in human sexual behavior, which is far more flexible. This categorization is an artifact of American culture, which glories in binary categories for classifying people. Folks that identify as "bisexual" (yet another ambiguous category) in the United States often get grief from both the gay and straight community for "deluding" themselves about their sexuality.
Of course it is impossible to discern precisely what President Ahmadinejad meant in his remarks. But what is true is the construction of same-sex behavior and, indeed, same-sex affection in Iran is extremely different than in Europe and America. There has been a recent phenomenon of Western-style "gay culture" emerging in Iran – replete with gay bars, clubs and house parties – but this is very new, largely limited to the upper classes, and likely not known to President Ahmadinejad, whose social milieu is the middle and lower-middle class. This recent Western-style gay phenomenon is distinct from ordinary same-sex behavior as practiced traditionally in Iran. Indeed, there was not even a word for homosexuality in Persian before the 20th century. It had to be invented. The term used by President Ahmadinejad was "hamjensbaz," a neologism that literally means, "playing with the same sex."
In Iran, same-sex sexual behavior is classified rigidly into active and passive roles. The Arabic terms "fa'el" and "maf'oul" (active and passive – actually grammatical terms used to describe active and passive verbs) were the common designation for these roles. The passive partner is still called by the Arabic term "obneh," or, more crudely, "kuni." (Kun means anus.) The active vs. passive same-sex preference is well known in the Western world, but it is constructed quite differently in Iran and other Arab and Mediterranean cultures.
Active partners in Iran do not consider themselves to be "homosexual." Indeed, it is a kind of macho boast in some circles that one has been an active partner with another male. Passive partners are denigrated and carry a life-long stigma if their sexual role is known, even after a single incident. They have been deflowered, as it were, in the same way that women might lose their virginity, and they are considered to be "xarob" or "destroyed."
In actual fact, many men are "versatile" in their sexual activity but if they are known to have relations with other men, they will always claim in public to be the active partner. Same-sex relations between females are undoubtedly practiced, but this is the deepest secret in Iran, and rarely talked about at all.
Emotional relations are very different. Men and women both may become exceptionally attached to people of the same sex, to the point that Westerners would swear that they must have a sexual relationship. It is not necessarily so. Kissing, holding hands, weeping, jealousy, physical contact and all the signs of partnership can exist without any sexual activity or, indeed, with an undercurrent of absolute horror that it might take place, because of the active-passive split in sexual classification and men's fear of being pegged as a passive partner. A man who truly loves another man doesn't want to degrade him by making him a passive sex partner.
More typically, male teenagers who become exceptionally attached may marry sisters in order to become kin to each other, thereby creating a lifelong bond. There is even a quasi-marriage ceremony based on the idea of "muta," or temporary marriage, through which two men or two women can become fictive "siblings." This takes care of many things, allowing intimate relations, and intimacy between family relations, but also imposing an even stronger taboo against sexual relations, which would be considered incest.
Iranians who come to Europe and the United States may "discover" that they are "gay" once they are liberated from the rigid cultural system that binds them into these polarized active-passive roles.
To be sure, sodomy is punishable by death in Iran, but such executions have been historically extremely rare compared with the routine incidence of same-sex sexual behavior in Iran. Much was made in the United States of two boys who were executed in the city of Mashhad a few years ago for "being homosexual," as the Western press put it. However, they were executed because they had essentially committed what we would call statutory rape on an under-aged boy. The boy's father was beside himself with rage and grief, and pressed charges. In many such cases, the shame of the family and the victim himself is so great that no one ever finds out.
In the end, both the United States and Iran classify sexuality in a way that fails to accord with the range of actual human proclivities. However, there is no doubt that the two systems are very different.
William O. Beeman is professor and chair of the department of anthropology at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. He has been conducting research in Iran for more than 30 years, and is a fluent speaker of Persian. He is author of Language, Status and Power in Iran and The "Great Satan" vs. the "Mad Mullahs": How the United States and Iran Demonize Each Other, the second edition of which will be published later this year by the University of Chicago Press.

Dr. Knittel participates in an ongoing global health outreach program to improve burn care in Ukraine, sponsored by Doctors Collaborating to Help Children (www.DCtoHC.org) and Shriners Hospital for Children in Boston, MA. The group works with Ukrainian physicians and hospitals to provide burn care to both pediatric and adult patients, both through clinic assessment and planning and with operative procedures. They actively participate in education initiatives, both through organized conferences on burn management as well as with clinical teaching with Ukrainian physicians and staff during annual visits. In addition, they have worked with the Ukrainian local and regional governments to establish a burn prevention program and first-aid training. With the Ukrainian team, the group has helped to establish a telemedicine program connecting providers with physicians in the US for assessment and consultation of both acute and chronic burn injuries. They have also established a burn database with a number of the burn centers in Ukraine to track and assess burn management on a larger scale, with the goal of applying what is learned in Ukraine to other developing regions around the world.
Dr. Knittel has participated in global outreach through the anesthesiology department at Washington University, traveling to Ghana to provide teaching and education in critical care. He taught the basics of critical care ultrasound through hands-on training in the ICU, as well as presented lectures in education conferences. The group also collaborated with Ghanian physicians and staff to establish ICU protocols to enhance the level of critical care that is provided to their patients.

The idea of a smoke monster sounds pretty funny, when you think about it.
The upcoming finale of "Lost" set for Sunday has inspired much hand-wringing, predictions and chatter among fans about the end of all things Oceanic. For the rest of us, who never quite got into the often-inscrutable show, filled with plot twists and oddities that make David Lynch look like Walt Disney, it's hard to understand the fuss.
Perhaps both sides can find common ground in some of the humor spurred by news that the show's number is up after six seasons.
Even George Lucas, who has seen his creations spoofed over the years, wasn't above cracking some jokes about the big event, even if mostly at his own expense.
"Don't tell anyone," Lucas wrote in a congratulatory letter to "Lost" masterminds Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, "but when 'Star Wars' first came out, I didn't know where it was going either.
"The trick is to pretend you've planned the whole thing out in advance," he confided in the letter, which was read at a "Lost" fan event at UCLA, the Los Angeles Times reported.
What Lindelof and Cuse probably couldn't have planned is that their ABC show would become a cultural phenomena whose success is evidenced, at least in part, by parodies of the program.
Check out some of the videos below, including one by Sarah Silverman, whose show was just canceled, and Dana Carvey, who's getting a new show. (Warning: Silverman's mock "Entertainment Tonight"-style interview with Lindelof and Cuse, who display a sense of humor, is NSFW).
Even the folks at The Basketball Jones weigh in with a bogus courtside "Lost"-related chat between Boston Celtics players Kevin Garnett and Glen (Big Baby) Davis.
But we'll give the first word to Time magazine TV critic James Poniewozik, who also offers some apt last words. He narrated a rapid-fire montage that recaps the show in 108 (a significant number in "Lost" lore) seconds. He spends about 10 of those seconds occasionally sprinkling in a phrase that tells you all you need to know about the show: "It is complicated."

Golf and spa: pleasure on two fronts
Health and beauty treatments in a spa centre
Golf, La Toja in Pontevedra
Give yourself a five-star treat - the pleasure of combining golf with the best health and beauty treatments. Come to Spain, the perfect place to make your dream come true. Here you will find a range of options to meet your needs.
Let us make a very attractive suggestion: combine your favourite sport, at some of Europe's best golf courses, with the chance of relaxing body and mind at spectacular facilities designed to care for your well-being, under the watchful eye of specialist staff. In Spain there are many different hotel complexes and golf courses offering special packages combing golf and spa treatments. Excellent year-round climate, painstakingly designed golf courses, a full range of top-class facilities, easy access (many are situated just a few kilometres from international airports), the latest treatments... these are just a few of the reasons for making Spain your holiday destination.
There are a range of possibilities, from the Costa del Sol, in Andalusia, to the Costa Brava, in northern Catalonia, not forgetting the coasts of Valencia and Murcia, the Canary Islands and the Balearics, or the area known as Green Spain, in the north of the country.
You are sure to find just what you are looking for. You will not find it difficult, given that there are more and more clubs and establishments which, apart from having their own golf courses, also offer services with a special emphasis on health and beauty treatments. This is the case, for example, of Peralada Golf Club, with its special wine and chocolate-based therapies. Meanwhile, at the Mijas Golf development, you can improve your stroke on the green, and later enjoy therapy sessions with algae and sea water. Another similar case is Sotogrande, in Cadiz province, an area with a great golfing tradition, with courses such as Almenara Hotel-Golf, which, amongst other services, also has Turkish baths and has received the Condé Nast Johansen award for the "Best European Spa Hotel". This kind of services can also be found at places such as the La Manga Club, with its three 18-hole courses and 13 health and beauty treatment rooms; Oliva Nova Golf Course with its relaxation circuit; Torremirona Golf Club, with its full range of anti-stress programmes; and the Montecastillo Hotel & Golf Resort complex.
These are just a few of many facilities to be found in Spain where golf is combined with health and beauty treatments. Another option is to stay at hotels which have modern spa facilities, with the chance to purchase admission cards to play golf on nearby courses. As you can see, the list is long.
All this, along with advice from qualified professionals, and the chance to enjoy privileged natural surroundings. If you require more detailed information on these golf + spa programmes, you should ask at the tourist office of the place you are interested in, or otherwise get in touch directly with the golf course or hotel complex you would like to visit.
Go on, treat yourself to a sporting, health and well-being experience. You won't regret it.

Happy Guy Fawkes Day, everyone. I thought I'd take today to run down the State of the Union, in honor of the revolutionary spirit.
We already have an acting fascist government.
We are a a hair's breadth away from starting another disastrous war.
The corporate controlled media is totally complicit in all of this.
Dissent has already been criminalized. They just haven't started the round-ups yet.
In fact, I think we are one false flag operation from the complete suspension of the Constitution. This would explain why they soldier on on all fronts as if they aren't going anywhere. No Constitution = No elections.
So call me Chicken Little. Accuse me of being a conspiracy theorist.
I just call 'em as I see 'em.
