More than 80 Web gurus warned Congress on Thursday that anti-piracy bills currently pending in the House and Senate could harm free speech and also undermine innovation by Internet engineers.
The Stop Online Piracy Act (HR 3261) and companion Senate bill, the Protect IP Act (S. 968), would "create an environment of tremendous fear and uncertainty for technological innovation, and seriously harm the credibility of the United States in its role as a steward of key Internet infrastructure," states a letter to Congress signed by Vint Cerf, known as the "father of the Internet," Esther Dyson, and other Internet engineers and inventors.
They warn Congress that "an incredible range of useful, law-abiding sites" could be blacklisted should the measures become law. "All censorship schemes impact speech beyond the category they were intended to restrict, but these bills are particularly egregious in that regard because they cause entire domains to vanish from the Web, not just infringing pages or files," the letter states.
The letter was published the same day that the House Judiciary Committee began marking up the controversial legislation, which was introduced in October by Reps. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), John Conyers (D-Mich.), Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and Howard Berman (D-Calif.).
The bill provides for court orders banning ad networks and payment processors from doing business with "rogue" sites -- defined as sites dedicated to infringement. The measure also provides for court orders banning search engines from returning certain results and orders prohibiting Internet service providers from putting traffic through to certain URLs. (Even if ISPs did so, users could still reach their destinations by typing in the numeric IP addresses.)
Hollywood backs the bipartisan bill, arguing that it is needed to stop companies that are outside the jurisdiction of the U.S., and therefore need not comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's takedown provisions. But opponents -- including law professors, digital rights groups, Web companies and Internet engineers -- say the bill is problematic.
They argue that it would result in censorship of legitimate material as well as "rogue" sites. Critics also say the law could discourage companies from hosting user-generated content. That's because the bill seems to curb provisions of the DMCA that protect companies from liability when users' posts infringe on copyright.
Currently, the DMCA's safe harbors provide that Web companies are immune from liability for infringing clips posted by users, provided the material is removed at the owner's request. But the bill could require sites to more actively police user-generated content for infringement or run the risk of being labeled rogue. Cerf and the other Internet mavens who signed a letter to Congress argued that it was a mistake to tinker with the domain name system.
"The US government has regularly claimed that it supports a free and open Internet, both domestically and abroad. We cannot have a free and open Internet unless its naming and routing systems sit above the political concerns and objectives of any one government or industry," the letter states.
Another group of Internet engineers previously said that forcing ISPs to filter out certain domain names would be "minimally effective" and could "frustrate important security initiatives." On Thursday, several lawmakers urged their colleagues to hear from additional Web experts before voting on the measure. Rep. Dan Lungren (R-Calif.), chairman of the House cybersecurity panel, called the bill "somewhere between catastrophic and troublesome," saying that it raised unanswered cybersecurity questions.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), who opposes the measure, argued that the bill would actually promote piracy by making the Internet less secure. Despite some lawmakers' calls for more information, Smith, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, indicated that he intended to bring the measure to the vote as soon as possible. As of Thursday evening, lawmakers were still debating the bill.

Wonder drugs 'a waste of money'
Actress SHIRLEY MITCHELL, the last surviving adult cast member of beloved U.S. comedy series I LOVE LUCY, has died at the age of 94.

The actress joined I Love Lucy in 1953 and appeared in three episodes.
Her other TV credits include Petticoat Junction, The Beverly Hillbillies, Perry Mason and The Red Skelton Hour. She also made a few big screen appearances in films like Big Business and The War of the Roses.

The Marriage Clock
written by Zara Raheem | narrated by Ariana Delawari
published by HarperAudio (2019)
To Leila Abid's traditional Indian parents, finding a husband in their South Asian-Muslim American community is as easy as match, meet, marry. But for Leila, a marriage of arrangement clashes with her lifelong dreams of a Bollywood romance which has her convinced that real love happens before marriage, not the other way around.
Finding the right husband was always part of her life-plan, but after 26 years of singledom, even Leila is starting to get nervous. And to make matters worse, her parents are panicking, the neighbors are talking, and she's wondering, are her expectations just too high? So Leila decides it's time to stop dreaming and start dating.
She makes a deal with her parents: they'll give her three months, until their 30th wedding anniversary, to find a husband on her own terms. But if she fails, they'll take over and arrange her marriage for her.
Non-Spoiler Section
This was a super quick read, which is exactly what I was looking for because I've been in a reading slump for quite some time. However, I found the cultural aspects of the book more enjoyable than the romance, and the ending left me disappointed.

text: The scale of global transportation of oil cargoes has led to a demand for increased control and international legislation to combat accidental and operational dis charges of oily wastes and residues at sea. Since 1954 the International Maritime Organisation (IMO)* has provided the international forum for the development of several proposals for controlling oil pollution from shipping, which culminated in the 1973 International Convention for Prevention of Pollution from Ships and the 1978 Protocol relating to this Convention, together known as MARPOL 73178. Apart from the requirement for improvements in the constructional design of tankers, and operational procedures to enhance both safety and pollution control in the carriage of oil and other noxious substances at sea, MARPOL 73178 called for the extensive installation of oil discharge monitoring, control and separating equipment on board ships and offshore platforms. The 1973 Convention came into force in October 1983, twelve months after sufficient countries had ratified it and agreed to abide by the international rules and regulations. As a result, a large number of systems have now been installed and are operational. The demand to separate oil from water to give an oil content of less than 15 parts per million (ppm) and measure this on-line in an extremely difficult environment has pro vided a considerable impetus for the development of novel and robust instrumen tation and systems.

text: Well. I'm finally at Great Dixter and was fortunate to be able to take some photos out in the gardens right away after dropping off my luggage. It has been an epic journey thus far to be sure. My plane that was supposed to depart O'Hare Monday night at 6 pm was deemed unsafe to fly by 9 pm after being looked at extensively (that's comforting!). They brought out another plane from the hangar and that one was ready to go by 11:45 pm that same night! I was able to coordinate my pick-up by Catherine from Great Dixter although there was very little margin for error with arrival, customs, luggage and catching a bus. It all worked out well. As I type, I'm getting settled in the house seen in these photos along with four other students and I've met quite a few people already. I'm not sure what all the gardens here are named but looking forward to the experience. Enjoy the beauty with more to follow! I start my new job tomorrow at 8 am sharp!

Simple Tips to Protect Your Home This Fall
Keep Your Home Safe This Fall with These Maintenance Tips
We must accept it. Summer is pretty much over and slowly but surely the colder months are creeping in. Fall is a crucial season for your home. It is the time to take action and protect your home from the potentially harsh winter season ahead.
Here are some maintenance tips to help you prep your home for the winter:
Check your water pipes and insulate those in the exposed areas to freezing temperatures.
- Inspect your heating system and get it cleaned at least once a year by a qualified technician. If you haven't done it so far this year, this is the time to do it.
- Provide proper maintenance to your chimney.
- Get your furnace filter replaced.
Inspect your gutters for damage. Also, make sure they are correctly attached to your house. If any repairs are needed, get them done before the winter hits.
- Clean your downspouts and gutters to ensure they are clear and have no blockages caused by accumulated debris. Cleaning the gutters is best done near the end of fall, removing all the leaves stuck in the troughs before winter.
- Refill your fire extinguisher and —or get one, if you don't have one— and keep it handy.
- Make sure there are no loose-fitting plugs or receptacles on your electrical outlets and avoid overloading them.
- Inspect your smoke detectors to make sure they are all working as expected. Be sure to have smoke detectors in all the relevant areas of the house, like the bedrooms and adjacent hallways, kitchen and basement, or at least make sure there is one on every floor of your home.
Preparing your home for the winter will save you potential problems with costly solutions. There's still plenty of time to get things done. Make sure to protect your home with the best insurance for your needs. Start today and have a worry-free winter.

New Research on Genetic Architecture in Hearing Loss Holds Promise
Genetic factors play a significant role in both sensorineural hearing loss and noise-induced hearing loss. For a number of reasons genetic studies involving humans are complicated. They are prone to challenges associated with low statistical power, limited replicability, and confounding environmental parameters, such as noise exposure and ototoxic medication use.

The Magaluf Weekender
Following its success in January, The Magaluf Weekender is back for series two, with more fun-loving mischief and mayhem as eager holiday-makers hit the non-stop party resort of Magaluf, many experiencing their first holiday without their parents. On hand to ensure they have the weekend of their lives are our four holiday reps, Jordan, Imogen, Jaime-Leigh and flirtatious new boy, personal trainer Tobi.
Series one transmitted in January 2013 and proved a hit for ITV2, drawing an audience of one million viewers. The series' audience share of 16-24 year olds was more than double the average ITV2 audience in that slot.
This series, new rep Tobi arrives and immediately catches the eye of Jaime-Leigh. Thanks to the sizzling chemistry between the pair, is it only a matter of time before their relationship becomes more than just professional?
Jordan is up to his usual tricks seducing the female guests, despite vowing to focus on the day job this season. After their fling last summer, Imogen is still clearly harbouring feelings for him and struggles seeing him pull the ladies. But it's not long until she falls for a guest herself.
And each week two sets of guests from across the UK check-in to The Lively Hotel to party away the weekend of their lives, under the watchful eye of the reps. With drinking games, fancy dress, seduction, friendships, fallouts and pranks a plenty, it's set to be a long, hot summer to remember.

Cook time:

Total time:

A Slovak cookie recipe - cream cheese dough filled with jams!
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese (I use the low fat version)
1 cup (1/2 lb.) butter
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
Jams and preserves (raspberry, apricot, pineapple - your choice!)
Powdered sugar
2 cups ground walnuts
¾ cup sugar
¼ cup hot water
Cream cheese and butter should be cold.
Sift flour with baking powder into a bowl.
Cut cream cheese and butter into chunks and add to flour.
Knead by hand until ingredients are distributed evenly and the dough forms a compact ball.
Divide into two balls. Cover with saran wrap and chill until very cold - preferably overnight.
Roll out one ball at a time using as little flour as possible to ⅛" thickness.
Cut into 3" squares. Place a dollop of jam or filling in the center.
Fold one corner of the square to the center of the filling.
Fold the opposite corner to the center, overlapping a little.
Pinch together slightly.
A small portion of the filling should be visible above and below the overlap.
Place on ungreased cookie sheets or cookie sheets lined with parchment paper (my preference as the jam tends to run).
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until light brown.
Cool on wire racks and dust with powdered sugar.
NUT FILLING: Combine all ingredients and mix well.

Man thrown from car in head-on collision on I-293
Vehicle crosses center median before collision, police say
Vehicle crosses center median before collision, police say
A man was seriously injured when he was thrown from his car in a head-on collision Tuesday morning on I-293 in Manchester.
State police said the two vehicles collided about 8:15 a.m.
"There was a Mitsubishi Galant traveling northbound on Route 293 in Manchester," Sgt. Steve Callinan said. "For unknown reasons, that vehicle crossed the center median, and it hit a Honda CRV head-on in the southbound lane."
The drive of the Mitsubishi was identified as Anthony Miele, 36, of Manchester. The collision happened near the entrance ramp on Granite Street.
"Upon arrival, there was one male patient that was ejected from 293 onto the on-ramp of Granite Street here," District Fire Chief Al Poulin said.
Fire officials said Miele was thrown about 50 to 60 feet in the air before he hit the ramp.
"The trauma team was activated, and he was taken to (Catholic Medical Center)," Poulin said.
Investigators said it's unclear whether Miele was wearing his seat belt.
"Upon arrival, the vehicle that the patient was ejected from, the door was open, and the seat belt was not buckled at the time," Poulin said.
The driver of the other vehicle, Samuel Winter, 34, of Bow, was still in the car. Winter suffered minor injuries and was taken to Elliot Hospital.
The collision caused a backup on the interstate after one lane was closed.
State police said the collision remains under investigation but that it's unlikely charges will be filed.

Mixed Doubles
Soaps In Depth
switching partners made double trouble for Jax & Chloe and Ned &
This week, what started out as an elaborate game of charades results in some very real consequences for mismatched married Jax and Alexis and Ned and Chloe. When the dust settles will either of the couples who are meant to be together be able to find their way back to each other?
Jax Remembers Brenda!
As the week begins, Jax still is reeling from Chloe's spill from her horse. The whole incident reminds him entirely too much of the way that Brenda tragically was wrested from his arms. At last, he even confides his moment of terror to his sympathetic riding partner.
Later, deciding that Chloe is now well enough to be moved, gallant Jax carries her back to the stables. Naturally, Ned is beyond relieved: he was frantic that the duo were gone overnight: their absence wrought havoc on the L&B business meeting that he and his bride were to attend. However, the tension starts to brew as Ned gives Jax an earful about putting Chloe in danger in the first place.
Chloe Confesses Her True Feelings!
Arriving home safe and sound, Chloe confesses to Ned that spending the night under the stars with Jax made her realize just exactly how she feels about her handsome hero. But, still unwilling to mess up their ruse and lose her company in the process, Chloe begs Ned to keep her secret.
Of course, nothing stays secret in the Quartermaine household for long -- and Edward and Gertrude are bound and determined to make sure this time is no exception! The two put their heads together and contrive a scheme to prove something's rotten in Denmark...er. Port Charles.
Ned & Chloe Get Passionate!
Determined to catch Ned being unfaithful to Chloe -- a scenario that's sure to result in her company reverting to Aunt Gertrude -- Edward rigs a video camera in the gatehouse. Ned and Alexis were planning to meet there for the evening, but their plans go awry thanks to unexpected Jax family obligations.
Left to his own devices, Ned happens upon the not-so-well-hidden camera. Thrilled to be remaining one step ahead of "Grandfather," Ned convinces Chloe that they can get the old man's goat by staging a show of love and passion for the camera.
Jax Comforts Alexis!
Then Lila, who, as usual, is onto her unscrupulous spouse, intercepts the videotape as it is delivered by his private investigator. Thinking she's helping, Lila sends the tape to Ned via Reginald. But when Reggie arrives, it's not Ned, but Alexis who answers the door. Her plans with John and Jane having been canceled, Alexis decides to watch the tape while waiting for Ned's return. And boy, is she surprised when she spies the heat between Ned and Chloe!
Dropping by the gatehouse, Jax finds a very distraught Alexis, who keeps her discovery to herself. Assuming that their "arrangement" is what's getting her down, Jax does his best to assure Alexis that she's the one with a strong hold on Ned's heart.
Later, Ned and Alexis again make plans to rendezvous, but this time, it's Jerry who louses things up by insisting that Alexis and Jax join him and Bobbie for dinner. Unable to refuse the invitation, Alexis leaves Ned a note canceling their date and heads to the PC Grill with Jax. Then, not having seen the note, Ned and Chloe grow concerned when they can't find Jax and Alexis, and head to the Port Charles Hotel to find them.
Ned Catches Alexis Painting the Town With Jax!
At dinner, Bobbie and Jerry press Jax and Alexis for details about their relationship, and the newlyweds find it surprisingly easy to lie. Happening upon the frolicking foursome, Ned is miffed that he's been stood up, but eventually realizes that Alexis had no choice.
Then the temperature in the room turns downright frosty when Sonny and Hannah arrive for dinner. Still raw from his recent memories of Brenda, Jax struggles to keep his animosity for Sonny in check -- a struggle which he loses big time!
Has Sonny Cost Jax Chloe's Love?
Ignoring Jerry's pleas to keep his cool, Jax interrupts Chloe's conversation with Sonny and advises her that Mr. Corinthos is no one she wants to be near. The war of words that ensues sends daggers through the air, and it's eventually a wounded Hannah who comes to Sonny's defense.
When the smoke clears, Hannah will have won brownie points from Sonny, but Jax, who has just shown Chloe his cutthroat side for the first time, may come out the loser. Will Jax's hatred for Sonny bring his budding romance with Chloe to a screeching halt?

The European Commission is taking Greece to the Court of Justice over poor wastewater treatment again.
The country was previously found guilty in 2004 and still hasn't addressed the problem, the Commission said.
It states the lack of adequate treatment systems in the area of Thriasio Pedio poses risks to human health, inland waters and the marine environment.
The Commission is asking the court to impose a lump sum of nearly €16 million (£11m) from the date of the first judgement until it has resolved the violation or until the second decision.
It is also proposing a daily fine of €34,974 (£25k) which would be paid from the date of the court ruling.
Despite some progress, only 28% of the urban wastewater is collected and treated before being discharged into the Gulf of Elefsina, the Commission claims.
It adds: "The collection rate has almost not improved since July 2012 when the wastewater treatment facility started operating."
Last year the Commission referred Greece to the Court of Justice for poor treatment of hazardous waste.

The Calgary Sport and Entertainment Company (CSEC) and the City of Calgary have decided on a proposed agreement July 22. The City is to pay around half of the arena costs, which is predicted to be around $550 million. That would mean both sides will be pitching in around $275 million.
According to the terms of the new deal, the City will retain ownership of the new building in Victoria Park and the Flames will cover operating and maintenance costs, reports say. Part of the agreement states the Flames would upkeep the facility for at least 35 years.
But, the deal isn't completely solidified yet. City council will vote to either accept or reject the agreement July 29. The council meeting is about a week away, allowing both council members and Calgarians to think about the deal and provide feedback.
If City council decides to accept the proposed deal, it is reported Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) will follow through with the construction and consultations on the building's design.
The CSEC, as part of the deal, is also supposed to provide around $75 million towards local amateur sports and organizations within the 35 proposed years of the agreement.
The Scotiabank Saddledome will be demolished and the City will pay for the cost. The Flames will help pay 10 per cent of the demolition costs.
The July 22 conversation behind closed doors involved members from the CSEC, the City of Calgary and the Calgary Stampede.
The plan involves restaurants and retail spaces on the surrounding streets and there is not a finalized design as of now.
More details to come…

The Lodge is breathtaking and full of history and charm, the surroundings exquisite in all its beauty. We were married in the Tree House at the Lodge and Alice and her team were quite simply amazing, we felt like we'd 'come home'.
Words are not enough.

Niki and Jeremy
I got married in the iconic treehouse at The Lodge last month. To say it was a dream weekend would be an understatement.
The setting is out of this world but it is no doubt thanks to the work of Alice and her team that elevates the experience.
It exceeded my hopes for the day, out guests were blown away and myself and my husband will forever hold The Lodge (and Alice) close to our hearts and will return often.
Jaime and Robert
Stunning, out of this world, fairytale day

Meet Mr. Rocky! He is a handsome 6 year old male and weighs about 9.5 lbs. He is the sweetest dog that you could ever know. Rocky came into rescue with a grade 2-3 heart murmur. He is otherwise healthy and doesn't require medication at this time. Rocky shows no symptoms of having any heart trouble, the only reason we know he has a heart murmur is from his vet exam. He is considered a "special needs" dog because of his medical issue with the heart murmur. Rocky has a great temperament and has lived with a cat. He likes other dogs and loves his owner like no other.
Rocky loves to go to follow with his foster mom everywhere. He is so friendly! He can be an only dog in the home if someone is home most of the time or he would do well with another Italian Greyhound or a cat in the home.Back to Happy Tails

Pictures of Prince Harry as a fresh-faced teenager during his school years have resurfaced much to the public's delight. Harry attended the famous Eton College from 1998 to 2003, and before the royal graduated, he posed for a few photos around the prestigious school, giving the world a peak inside his life as a student.Image: Getty
Through the pictures, we get a glimpse into what Prince Harry was like as a teenager, including his hobbies, his interests, his products of choice (hey can of Lynx), his vices (Harry, take your mugs to the kitchen) – and his crushes…Image: Getty
Hanging on the wall in the picture of Prince Harry in his dorm room at Eton, pinned to a brightly coloured wall hanging, are pictures of Harry's celeb crushes as a teenager – one of which is actress Halle Berry.Image: Getty
After the pictures of Prince Harry resurfaced, the star got wind of the royal's boyhood crush, and tweeted him about the fact that he had her pinned up on his wall.
"Ok #PrinceHarry, I see you!" Halle tweeted, adding the hashtag #HalleBerryPosta, a lyric from Missy Elliott's 2002 hit Work It.Image: Twitter/@halleberry
Also in Prince Harry's dorm room is a picture of his late mother Princess Diana, who was tragically killed in a car crash in 1997, the year before Harry started at Eton.Image: Getty
Harry also had a picture of his mum pinned above his bed, as seen in this photo, next to a picture of his father, Prince Charles. He's seated on a very drab, very 90s quilt cover set, with absolutely no attempt whatsoever to have them match. It's perfectly male teen.Image: Getty
Eagle-eyed royal fans have also spotted that the Prince had a photograph of his grandmother, the Queen, in a picture frame next to his bed.Image: Getty
Also pinned on Prince Harry's noticeboard is a poster from Whistler in Canada, a ski resort the young royal visited with his older brother and father in March of 1998. The ski guide who gave Harry the poster, Otto Kamstra, was touched when he learned the Prince had it displayed on his wall.
"To know that (Prince Harry) still has that poster is pretty special," Otto told Pique in 2003. "Harry was young at the time, he was 13. He was pretty wild, a bit of a daredevil, and very athletic… It was like he was newly released on the world."Image: Getty

Super Crystallized Waterproofing Mortar
ISONEM M 35 is a cement based, one component crystallized waterproofing product. When applied on concrete surface on positive or negative sides the product provides waterproofing in depth by penetrating into concrete. The product provides high mechanical and chemical resistance on the applied surfaces. Chemical materials in its structure penetrate into concrete in depth by reacting with moisture and free lime present in the structure of concrete and form insoluble crystals inside capillary spaces and pores. It can be applied on new concrete surfaces. It decreases the duration of hydration and reduces shrinkage crack formation on applied surfaces. Protects concrete against corrosion and dilute chemicals.
ISONEM M 36 fast setting mortar can be used in conjunction with the ISONEM M 35 system to plug active water leaks in concrete and masonry.
- Internal and external waterproofing of horizontal and vertical surfaces
- Water tanks, waste water and other reservoirs
- On concrete surfaces exposed to sea water
- Basement and foundation waterproofing
- Internal and external insulation of enceinte walls
- Canals, Tunnels, Bridge decks
Features & Benefits
- Provides long term waterproofing properties, easy application
- Protects concrete and reinforcement against corrosive water borne substances
- Effective against both positive and negative water pressure
- Non-toxic or tainting
Technical Properties
- Composition: ISONEM M 35 is composed of specially selected cements, polymers, silica sand and reactive fillers supplied in powder form.
- Density (Mixture): 1,8 + 0,1 gr/ml
- Application Temperature: +5°C – + 35°C:
- Colour: Gray
- Texture: Powder

- Setting Time:
- Initial : Min 10 hours
- Final: Max 16 hours
Surface Preparation
Surface to be applied should be wet before the application. Wetting of the surface should be performed at least two hours before starting to application and surface should be saturated with water. If surface is humid or wet this process is not necessary. Surface of application should be cleaned of materials such as dust, grease etc. Weak parts of concrete should be repaired with by applying ISONEM D 10 Super Adhesive and ISONEM M 03 Elastic Repairing Mortar. Dilatations should be filled with ISONEM A4 Elastic Filler. After surface preparation mixture should be prepared.
Preparation of the Mixture & Application
ISONEM M 35 should be power mixed only, using slow-speed drill (400 rpm). Blend 25 kilograms of powder into 8 litres of water. Mix for 5 minutes to a lump-free homogeneous consistency.
ISONEM M 35 is applied in 3 layers on moistened surface with a brush. Application of layers should be perpendicular to each other. Layers should be applied when previous layers hardens but does not dry fully. This period is 4 hours depending on air temperature. Do not apply ISONEM M 35 to frozen substrates or extreme high temperatures. Application should be performed in the evenings or in the mornings and in cool places in summer. In cold regions if substrates are frozen, floor or wall should be wetted by hot water before the application. Applied surfaces should be kept damp for approximately 48 hours if applied surfaces will be uncoated, without plaster application. This process accelerates curing and provides more successful isolation..
Surface penetration sufficient to provide full waterproofing properties is normally achieved after 7 – 10 days.

A teenager hangs on to the hood of a car, seemingly for dear life, as the driver careens down the road. Believe it or not, the teens are playing a game, reports CBS News Correspondent Sharyl Attkisson. It's a risky and dangerous pastime called car surfing, a phenomenon that's sweeping the country.
Thirteen-year-old Mandi Richardson of Clarksville, Indiana tried it on a dare.
"I tried it because, I mean, like, everybody was sayingÂ… 'it's scary, you wouldn't be able to do it, you wouldn't be able to take it,'" she said.
Her friend, 14-year-old Adrian Stroud, did it too.
"I laid on my stomach and held on the windshield partÂ… with my feet hanging, like, towards the front of the car," he said.
But no one could match 18-year-old Kaye Saratain, known as the best car surfer around Clarksville.
"She could supposedly do it faster and better than anybody," according to Police Chief Dwight Ingle.
Kaye's brand of car surfing took on a dangerous new twist. Clarksville police demonstrated it for CBS News at low speed.
"The passenger is sitting on the hood of the car, flat, legs extended. The vehicle will make a 180," explained an officer.
That sharp turn throws the surfer off the car.
"It's who can do it the fastest and the quickest," the officer said.
The surfers win points for speed and technique.
In a skating rink parking lot last October, Kaye was on the hood. Her friend, Adrian, was inside the car.
"She was, like, jumping off and when she jumped, she tripped and she, like, hit the ground," Adrian remembered.
Rescuers took Kaye to the hospital and called her parents.
"We didn't find out even what car surfing was until the very first night Kaye was in the hospital," said her mother Marianne Angel.
Two days later Kaye died, and her mother began hearing one horrible car surfing story after another, including one from a hospital worker.
"A nurse interjected and said her nephew had died this past summer at graduation. They were all car surfing," Angel said.
Statistics show a small but alarming rise in car surfing. In 1997, 69 people died, according to federal statistics. The Safe Streets Coalition advocacy group says that number is growing by ten percent a year.
Kaye's best friend, 22-year-old Sunnye Moser, has even car surfed while pregnant. Sunnye was behind the wheel when Kaye was fatally injured; she pleaded guilty to criminal recklessness.
"Basically I was thinking whatever happens, happens," Moser said. "I mean, there's nothing I could change. I was really prepared for whatever I was going to get."
Sunnye was sentenced to probation and community service. Mandi and Adrian say they have both quit car surfing since Kaye's death.
Police across the country say there are still too many others risking life and limb in the pursuit of a thrill.

As millennials ditch the casual dining industry, Buffalo Wild Wings is hoping that a new type of store can reinvigorate the business.
The chain announced on Wednesday that it was debuting two new "small-format" locations — called B-Dubs Express — in Edina and Hopkins, Minnesota.
The two locations will be counter-service and more focused on take-out, though they will still have televisions showing sports. In contrast to the typical expansive Buffalo Wild Wings sports bar, the locations will only have seating for 35 to 50 customers.
"With B-Dubs Express, we are excited to deliver on Guest feedback and passionately serve up high-quality wings to satisfy cravings even faster," Todd Kronebusch, the vice president of market development for Buffalo Wild Wings, said in a statement. "These first two locations in Minnesota will provide a great opportunity for us to test an alternative format and gain learnings as we continue to look for ways to meet the changing needs of today's consumers."
Buffalo Wild Wings has struggled to attract customers in recent months, something that executives have blamed in part on millennials' dining preferences.
"Millennial consumers are more attracted than their elders to cooking at home, ordering delivery from restaurants, and eating quickly, in fast-casual or quick-serve restaurants," Buffalo Wild Wings CEO Sally Smith recently wrote in a letter to shareholders.
Earlier in June, Smith announced she would depart from the company at the end of the year, following a months-long battle with activist investor Marcato Capital. Marcato has pressured Buffalo Wild Wings to adopt a more franchisee-centric model, which seems likely after shareholders elected all three of the activist investor's nominees to the company's board.

A new study shows there's closer similarities between caribou and reindeer than previously thought — and suggests climate change will endanger their habitat.
The research, published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change, compared the DNA of reindeer in Scandinavia and Asia with tundra and woodland caribou in North America to find out how they're affected by climate change.
It suggests Canadian caribou will feel similar effects of global warming as their reindeer relations in Asia and Scandinavia.
"The woodland caribou is already an endangered species in southern Canada and the United States," said Marco Musiani, a University of Calgary professor who co-authored the study, which involved 21 researchers from two continents. "The warming of the planet means the disappearance of critical habitat in these regions.
"Caribou need undisturbed lichen-rich environments, and these types of habitats are disappearing."
Mining, logging and oil-and-gas activities are also degrading caribou habitat across Canada — including northern Alberta.
The study says the range of the distinct Canadian caribou lineage could shrink 89 per cent by 2070 and the range for the other lineage by 60 per cent under what the scientists call the "severe climatic warming scenario."
Musiani, a biologist who teaches in the faculties of Environmental Design and Veterinary Medicine, said the study shows the problems will only continue to grow in the coming decades.
"This tells us in a nutshell that northern species such as caribou and reindeer will also suffer the effects of global warming and climate change," he said, noting the woodland caribou are an indicator species. "We will lose some populations of caribou, I have no doubt.
"The bigger issue is are we also going to lose a functioning ecosystem? This is telling us we should do something to allow an ecosystem to function."

According to data published by The State of Obesity, the obesity rate among our nation's adults was nearing the 40% mark between the years 2015-2016. This means over 90 million American adults suffer from mobility difficulties owing to being overweight.
Today we'll be helping you choose the best power wheelchair for heavy people, so let's not waste any time and get down to business!
What To Consider Before Buying A Heavy-Duty Wheelchair?
When trying to pick a heavy-duty power wheelchair, there are certain points you need to take into account to land the best possible purchase:
Wheelchair Weight Capacity
First and foremost, you must pay close attention to the wheelchair weight limits, also known as, the weight capacity. This corresponds to the maximum allowed weight that a wheelchair can support while maintaining proper performance.
Since we're discussing power wheelchairs with the highest weight capacities, you'll find options on our list going as heavy as 700 pounds of capacity.
However, you should note that the closer the rider's weight to the maximum weight capacity, the more likely the speed of the wheelchair to be compromised. Heavy-duty wheelchairs are built to resist such an impact.
Seat Comfort
One of your top properties while deciding on a power wheelchair should be focused on the comfort level provided by its seat.
Consequently, when we mention comfort, we'll need to talk about padding. Currently, almost all brands of power wheelchairs offer padded seats, but there are some models out there equipped with extra layers of padding to appease people seeking additional comfort.
Padding is also rather crucial if you're going to be using the wheelchair frequently for extended periods.
Drive Range
Measured in miles, the drive or travel range is the maximum distance a power wheelchair is capable of covering on a full, single battery charge. Simply, the range is how long you can ride the wheelchair before it gives out.
Generally, you'll find electric wheelchairs with an average travel range of 10 mph (miles per hour), some types can reach up to 20 or 25 mph.
You'll need to estimate your daily mileage so you can find a model that delivers adequate range.
Typically, the speed of your power wheelchair should match the average speed of walking so you can keep up with your friends and family.
Humans walk at an approximate speed of 3 to 4 mph, and electric wheelchairs usually offer a top speed of 2 to 5 mph. This means that finding a suitable model should be easy enough.
Turning Radius
Finally but just as important, you should check the maximum turning radius of the electric wheelchair. The turning radius determines how sharp a power wheelchair can turn. This is a particularly critical aspect that affects how easy you can move around corners and tricky edges. Basically, the tighter the turning radius of the wheelchair, the better its maneuverability.
Anyway, lets get into helping you choose choose the best power wheelchair for heavy people, so let's not waste any time and get down to our top picks!

New Principal Introduced
Emmanuel Christian School (ECS) introduced its new school Principal on May 19 during the school's annual "ECS Sunday", a combined worship service with the school and the sponsoring church families.
Ms. Amanda Eckroth comes to ECS from Alexandria, Virginia, where she's been serving as an assistant principal. Eckroth holds an undergraduate degree from Northland International University (Formerly Northland Baptist Bible College) in Elementary Education and a Master's Degree in Education and Human Development from George Washington University.
"We're excited to have Ms. Eckroth join the team. Her personal background in Christian Education, philosophy of education, and Christian Discipleship make her a perfect fit for ECS, " said Jayson Byrd, Pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church and president of the ECS Board.
Eckroth said, "I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as the principal and invest in Emmanuel, both academically and spiritually. I am looking forward to partnering and building relationships with ECS students, staff, and families."
Ms. Eckroth will assume her duties at Emmanuel in June.
Graduate Honored
That afternoon ECS held its graduation ceremony where Sydney Stephenson was honored as the 2019 graduate. Stephenson attended ECS from Pre-k through 12th grade and excelled in the carpentry program at the United Technical Center during his senior year.
Also attending the ceremony were three former administrators of ECS (Pictured below is Eckroth alongside the former principals), including Mr. Darrel VanNorman, administrator of Wood County Christian School, Mr. Larry Fitch, principal at Fayette Christian School, and Mrs. Nancy Mercandante, administrator at Ambassador Christian Academy in Toms River, NJ.
Teacher of the Year
Emmanuel also recognized Mrs. Jennifer Wiechers, who has taught at ECS for a combined ten years, as Teacher of the Year Wiechers holds a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Pensacola Christian College and is certified through the American Association of Christian Schools (AACS). The Teacher of the Year is chosen by her colleagues, one of which called Wiechers "the perfect example of what a teacher is to be". She loves her students and ministers to each individual with love and excellence.
Service Awards
Another highlight of ECS Sunday was the recognition of service awards. In addition to Mrs. Weichers' ten years, Mrs. Sheila Law was recognized for twenty years of service at ECS. Mrs. Law is known for her love for her students and for seeking to share the Gospel with them on an individual basis. She has had the joy of seeing several students make decisions for Christ.
While it's not entirely unusual for teachers to serve for 30 years, Mrs. Barbara Philips is exceptional. She has taught pre-K 3 & 4 at ECS for three decades in the same classroom! Mrs. Philips' reputation for an excellent pre-k program is a draw for many families in the area. Pastor Jayson Byrd said, "Mrs. Philips has built a legacy at ECS. I believe the pre-k program at ECS is the best in the region, thanks to her faithfulness and hard work." The school now regularly sees former students seeking to enroll their own children in the same program.
ECS presented Mrs. Phillips with a 30-year service pin, an appreciation plaque, a gift, and a scrapbook filled with pictures and notes of appreciation from students.
Emmanuel Christian School is now enrolling grades K-3 through 12 for the 2019-2020 school year.

DENR-ARMM, Upi town sign MOA on forest stewardship
May 21, 2009 2:42 am
COTABATO CITY, May 20 – The Department of Environment and Natural ResourcesAutonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (DENR)-ARMM and the local government of Upi, Maguindanao have inked a memorandum of agreement (MOA) on Forest Land Use Plan (FLUP) and co-management of the forest lands in the municipality.
The project is a program of the DENR in cooperation with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through its Ecological Governance (EcoGov) Program. DENR-ARMM Secretary Kabuntalan P. Emblawa and Upi Municipal Mayor Ramon A. Piang, Sr. signed the MOA last May 18 at the Estosan Garden Hotel here.
The event was witnessed by DENR-ARMM officials, municipal and barangay officials from Upi, provincial environment officers from Maguindanao, representatives from the Ecological Governance Program of the USAID and media practitioners.
DENR-ARMM Assistant Secretary Alindatu K. Pagayao said that the FLUP is in pursuance of Muslim Mindanao Act 161 or the Regional Sustainable Forest Management Act (RSFMA) to enhance the ecological and environmental functions of the forest lands in Upi while increasing its resource capacity to support the sustainable livelihood and biodiversity of Upians.
It will also be the basis for protecting, managing, utilizing and developing the forests and forest lands, Pagayao said.
He said the program would cover 20,000 hectares of forestlands in 23 barangays in the municipality.
He added that natives were also consulted through representatives in the program to strengthen the participation of the people in the grassroots level.
Emblawa said that Upi is only the second LGU in the ARMM to have completed and duly legitimized its FLUP through its Sangguniang Bayan. He said that the first municipality to complete and implement its FLUP is Wao which had received a P3.9-million funding for the program.
I would like to thank the USAID-EcoGov program for this strong support, with the hope that there would be more LGUs that would benefit from this project, Emblawa said.
Piang said this project would greatly help the sustainable management and protection of the forest lands in their town.
He said the forest lands cover five major watersheds in the area which includes Dimapatoy watershed which is the source of water in Cotabato City.
This will also provide a venue for our grassroots in the co-management of our forests and forest lands. They will be assisted with livelihood programs without cutting the trees, the mayor stressed. (PNA)

These easy Italian pinwheels are packed with amazing ingredients! They're super flavorful and make a great party appetizer or quick lunch!
Try this appetizer alongside some other reader favorites: Meatloaf Meatballs, Best Ever Baked Parmesan Garlic Potato Wedges, or Copycat Bang Bang Shrimp.
Italian Pinwheels
Hey everyone! It's Chelsea back from Chelsea's Messy Apron with a delicious AND easy appetizer to share! As we're approaching summer, this is a recipe you'll want to have handy! It's great to bring to a party or potluck — everyone will be begging for the recipe!
It also makes an easy lunch. You can even meal prep these Italian pinwheels; more on that later!
How to make Italian Pinwheels:
- Prepare ingredients: dry and then coarsely chop the roasted red peppers and pepperoncini
- Make cream cheese mixture: combine the cream cheese and Italian seasoning in a bowl and beat until smooth and creamy. Stir in the chopped peppers and pepperoncini until smooth. Smooth about 3 tablespoons of this mixture all over each tortilla.
- Layer on ingredients: now layer ingredients evenly across the tortilla in a horizontal line in this order: pepperoni, ham, salami, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes
- Roll up: roll the pinwheel into a tight cylinder, starting at the end with the filling. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to firm up for one hour.
- Eat: Use a very sharp knife to slice the pinwheels into 1 inch slices. Enjoy!!
How to meal prep with these Italian pinwheels:
- Start by making the pinwheels. Since they need to chill in the fridge for a bit it's best to do those first. Once the pinwheels are chilled, cut them into 1 inch slices and then place 3-4 pinwheels into a plastic bag and then into the meal prepping container. This makes sure the tortilla part doesn't harden at all and also doesn't get soggy from the veggies.
- Add fresh veggies: start by washing and drying the veggies. Slice them into dip-able sizes and then put into the lunchbox/meal prep container. 2-3 different veggies are best for a good lunch variety. Add a small container of dip to go alongside the veggies! We like a ranch dip!
- Cover everything making sure it's sealed in an airtight container and store in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
- And in case the pinwheels/veggies won't quite fill you up, add a separate snack in a snack sized plastic bag. Some ideas: fresh berries/fruit, crackers, assorted nuts, chips, additional pinwheels, etc.
Variations for this recipe:
- Meat Lovers: leave out the veggies!
- Vegetarian: double the veggies and cheese, leave out the meat!
- Don't want it spicy? Use just ham and pepperoni instead of salami and leave out the pepperoncini
- Want to add a little spice? Add 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes to the cream cheese mixture!
- Use different tortillas: we love sun-dried, but you can try an herb filled tortilla instead!
Foil Pack Honey Garlic Chicken
This delicious foil pack honey garlic chicken is packed with amazing flavors! These meals are perfect for the summer when you want to keep the heat out of the house (no oven!) and keep the messes to a minimum. Also great for camping!
- 1 cup minute rice
- 1 and 1/2 cups water
- 1 pound chicken breasts: (4 ounces per chicken breast piece per packet)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons white flour
- 3/4 cup baby carrots, halved
- 1 large red pepper, cut into small strips
- 1 stalk broccoli, cut into small florets
- 1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoons sriracha
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (+1 tablespoon water)
- Optional garnish: finely chopped cilantro
Set out 4 large sheets of foil. Fold up sides to create sides. In a bowl mix the minute rice and water. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes.
Preheat the grill to high or the oven to 425 degrees F. You'll want 16 ounces TOTAL for this recipe which is about 2 large breasts. Try to get 2 large breasts that are each 8 ounces and then slice the 2 breasts horizontally into two even pieces that are each 4 ounces. Pound the chicken and ensure that the 4 pieces of chicken you have are each an even 4 ounces.
Prep the veggies: Thinly slice the red bell pepper, halve or quarter baby carrots (small and thin pieces), cut the broccoli into small florets.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides and then dredge in flour (helps keep it from drying out). Add a pinch more of salt and pepper on top.
Divide the rice evenly between the packets. Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice. Add the veggies equally to both sides.
In a small bowl, whisk together all of the sauce ingredients except for the cornstarch and water. In another bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Add to the sauce and whisk until smooth. Drizzle evenly over the chicken pieces in the foil packets. Fold up and seal completely.
Grill on high heat for 15-25 minutes (large variance based on different grills/heat; my grill had these finished at 20 minutes) or in the oven for 30-45 minutes (again; large variance based on your oven temperature and how ingredients are prepared) or until the chicken is completely cooked through (registers 165 degrees F).
Remove the foil packets from grill or oven and open carefully allowing for the steam to escape. Season additionally with salt and pepper if desired and enjoy immediately. If desired garnish with cilantro

I think we all have our own things that we do instead of that writing that we ought to be doing. In this I'm not going to include the obvious things like working, sleeping, eating and keeping the house tidy (in all honesty, I tend to find ways to procrastinate these too!).
I'm admittedly a bit of a gamer, not as much these days as I used to be – but I still play a fair bit. The games vary a bit, but the longest standing one is probably World of Warcraft. I even used to run a WoW blog for a few years, but as my gaming slowed down, so did my blogging about it. Other games I play are Dragon Age, Diablo, Stardew Valley and a bunch of little ones on Steam when I have the time.
I probably watch more series than movies these days, but I do love a good movie and go to the cinema to see some of the ones I'm really interested in. TV-series are so good these days though, and there are so many of them. Too many! Services like Netflix, Amazon etc. have made series and movies so accessible, that it's easy to waste hours binging on a new show.
No surprises there. I can easily waste hours just browsing the web, checking blogs, updating my own, perusing the latest posts on Facebook. Oh, and what's new on my favourite YouTube channels? I also use the internet to keep in touch with my family in Sweden, so in fairness – I do love having access to it. When living away from your family it makes the world seem a little smaller.
What are your biggest procrastination fiends / time sinks?
