First-time inclusion of Alzheimer's and dementia in Healthy People 2020
The Alzheimer's Association is pleased that for the first time since its inception in 1979, the federal government's Healthy People report includes national health goals and objectives related to Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. The report — known as Healthy People 2020 — represents the nation's highest priorities for health promotion and disease prevention and is central to establishing measurable national public health goals for coming decade at all levels of government.
With more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer's today and as many as 16 million individuals who could be affected by 2050, inclusion in Healthy People 2020 underscores the recognition of the growing public health threat Alzheimer's and dementia pose to the nation.
Alzheimer's is the sixth-leading cause of death and was the only one of the 10 leading causes of death that did not have a designated topic area in the Proposed Healthy People 2020 Objectives released last fall. A strong grassroots mobilization effort led by the Alzheimer's Association, which included Alzheimer advocates from across the country, a number of the nation's top scientists and researchers, and policymakers from across the political spectrum, has resulted in the inclusion of Alzheimer's and other dementias as a new and separate topic area clearly conveying the importance of Alzheimer's and dementia on a national scale.
The objectives identified in the report include increasing the proportion of persons with diagnosed Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, or their caregiver, who are aware of the diagnosis. Awareness that Alzheimer's or dementia is present is central to ensuring individuals and their families have knowledge of available treatments, care and support services and also greater opportunities to make future care, financial and legal plans. Yet today, fewer than half of those with Alzheimer's have a diagnosis in their medical records.
Another key objective that would contribute to decreasing costs associated with the disease is the goal of reducing the number of preventable hospitalizations for individuals living with Alzheimer's and other dementias. People with Alzheimer's and other dementia typically have higher hospital admissions, longer stays and higher hospital readmission rates — and therefore incur higher costs. Preventable hospitalizations are defined as a hospitalization for a condition that can be prevented altogether or whose course can be mitigated with optimum outpatient management, thus preventing the hospitalization.
"Alzheimer's disease prevalence increases with age, which is why the number of people affected by these conditions will soar rapidly — in lock step with increases in the number of adults age 65 and older from 2011 to 2030," said Robert Egge, Alzheimer's Association vice president of public policy." As the leading research, advocacy and support organization for Alzheimer's disease, the Association has actively sought the inclusion of Alzheimer's and dementia in Healthy People 2020. We recognize the importance of having Alzheimer's clearly represented in the national health framework, as it is central to all levels of government taking action to address the mounting crisis."
The Association recognizes the efforts of its strong network of advocates who made their concerns about the absence of the disease in the proposed draft well-known. Additionally, the Association would like to thank the Healthy Aging Program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which worked to educate the Secretary's Advisory Committee on Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives for 2020, the Federal Interagency Workgroup, and other stakeholders about the importance of having Alzheimer's and dementia included in Healthy People 2020.

Sprint would be down too in a Katrina situation or if the terrorists set off a nuclear device in Atlanta the commo in the Southeast might be down. How can Sprint offer the same coverage area as Hams? How would Sprint tie into military and civil defense commo? The "wide area" must be assumed to be at least a whole state or region. If all normal commo in the Southeastern US goes down and you are in that area how far can your cell phone go to a Sprint site? Assume the nearest working site is at least 500 miles from you? How does Sprint handle that? How do you keep the "public" out so you can handle emergency traffic, on Sprint? With a GEO sat we could provide commo in the whole lower 48 (states).

matzo ball soup and, for lack of a better term, samosas.
Tonight we had leftovers. Kind of. I always keep a bag of vegetable ends and chicken bones in the freezer (collected), so that every few weeks I make a big pot of stock. This time I had included a bunch of drumsticks that were in the freezer, so I shredded the meat and put it back into the stock once it had been drained. I've mentioned before, but haven't posted the recipe, I've got a recipe for gf matzo balls. I apologize to whoever I got it from, I stumbled upon it on the internet at some point, wrote it down, then months and months later tried it out. It's good. Really.
"Matzo" ball soup
Make soup however you want, I like to add a lot of dill when I have it, I love dill. Shred in some chicken, vegetables, whatever. To make the matzo balls:
4 eggs, beaten well
3 T chicken fat or melted butter
1 t salt
1/4 t xantham gum
1 c instant potato flakes
3 T chicken stock, or if you have to, water
A big handful of chopped fresh dill, or about 2 t dried dill
Beat the fat into the eggs, then add the stock. Combine the salt, xantham gum, potato flakes, and dill. Mix the egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stir well, and chill about 30 minutes. Form into balls the best you can, drop into boiling soup or water for 15-20 minutes, covered.
Notes: DO NOT take out from the fridge until you are about to drop the balls into the boiling water/soup. If you do, they will warm up and not stick together well. I like to cook them in water in case they fall apart a bit, that way I can put the nice whole balls into the soup and snack on the broken pieces.
"Samosas" or, bread pockets filled with Indian potatoes and chicken
I made chicken and potato curry from Madhur Jaffrey's An Invitation to Indian Cooking a few days ago and needed to finish the leftovers today. I hate leftovers. I'm someone who wants something new everyday, not what I had yesterday or last week. (I am someone, however, who will make something over and over again if I love it until everyone else is sick of it). At work we sell samosas, those delicious pockets of dough filled with curried potatoes and peas or whatever. I decided I would use the pizza recipe I have been using every few days and change it a bit, to make a firmer dough that I could knead and form into pockets filled with leftover chicken and potatoes. I didn't have high hopes. These totally exceeded my expectations. They were not exactly what I had been going for, but they were REAL good. They were more bread-y than pastry dough-y, but it worked out well. Yum. Oh, and the rest of the filling I pan fried like I was making hash browns with some onions that I found in the fridge, which also turned out well.
Samosas, or whatever you want to call them-
Recipe adapted from Annalise G. Roberts' Gluten-free Baking Classics recipe for pizza dough
1 c rice flour mix
1/2 c millet flour (you can leave this out, just use another 1/2 c rice flour mix)
1/3 c fine ground cornmeal
1 T sweet rice flour (this can also probably be omitted)
1 t xantham gum
2 t sugar
1/2 t salt
1 packet dry yeast
2 t olive oil
3/4 c hot water
1 egg
extra rice flour for dusting your work surface
filling of your choice (you could probably do with with meat, cheese and tomato sauce for a calzone, vegetables, whatever!)
Combine all dry ingredients. Add hot water and olive oil, then beat to incorporate. Beat in the egg. Scrape down the bowl and beaters, then beat on high for a minute or two. Oil your hands and form the dough, in the bowl, into a ball. Cover with saran wrap and let sit somewhere warm for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes, turn the oven on to 425. Have your filling ready. Divide dough into fourths, and flour your surface. Dough will be sticky, sprinkle the top of the dough ball with flour and coat your hands. Knead lightly, sprinkling more flour as you go, until you get a workable dough. Press dough out flat and form into a circle, place filling towards the bottom, and fold over the top. Press edges to seal, place on baking pan lined with a silpat or parchment paper or greased or however you do it. Repeat with remaining dough balls. Bake for abou 20 minutes, turning once, until samosas are browned.

Watch The ::God Is Imaginary Videos On YouTube ::
But as the story goes, it wasn't Christians who killed Jesus. At least for the most part. It was his enemies led by Satan, who really didn't have a choice in the matter, having been offered the privilege via divine prophecy. How could he turn that down (aside from the minor detail that concluding his part in it pretty much sealed his fate)? The real sticking point is Judas, who was either a sincere believer who was corrupted into committing a supremely terrible wrong, or a non-believer who was forced to play the dupe in order to provide a bit of drama. Either way, it sucks. But hey, better you than me, buddy.Now that I think about it, it's fascinating that two of the most integral role players in the sacrifice going off as planned were condemned to NOT be redeemed by it before it even happened. And at least in Judas' case, it seems to have been unnecessary. Oh well, collateral damage and all of that! The rest of the world gets the benefit of a ransom sacrifice that provides a path to salvation and eternal life!!!...and the knowledge that it's been offered by a god who can capriciously exempt you from it if he decides that it's in line with his ill-defined and confusingly-presented "will." Happy Easter!

It is possible that the main title of the report Chromosome 15, Distal Trisomy 15q is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Chromosome 15, Distal Trisomy 15q is an extremely rare chromosomal disorder in which the end (distal) portion of the long arm (q) of the 15th chromosome (15q) appears three times (trisomy) rather than twice in cells of the body. The disorder is characterized by growth delays before and/or after birth (prenatal and/or postnatal growth retardation); mental retardation; and/or distinctive malformations of the head and facial (craniofacial) area. Additional abnormalities typically include an unusually short neck; malformations of the fingers and/or toes; abnormal sideways curvature of the spine (scoliosis) and/or other skeletal malformations; genital abnormalities, particularly in affected males; and/or, in some cases, heart (cardiac) defects. The range and severity of symptoms and physical findings may vary from case to case, depending upon the length and location of the duplicated portion of chromosome 15q. In most cases, Chromosome 15, Distal Trisomy 15q is due to a chromosomal balanced translocation in one of the parents.

OLD WESTBURY, N.Y. –The Yale baseball team trailed by a score of 10-1 after five innings at the New York Institute of Technology on Sunday, but the Bulldogs stormed back with 12 unanswered tallies to upend the host Bears by a score of 13-10. Sophomore catcher Ryan Brenner had three home runs on the day, and senior first baseman Trygg Larsson-Danforth had a pair of roundtrippers, including a grand slam. Junior third baseman Andy Megee had the go-ahead three-run home run in the eighth inning as junior left-hander Vinny Lally tossed six scoreless innings in relief to facilitate the Yale comeback.
With the victory, the Bulldogs win the three-game series against NYIT, having split a doubleheader with the Bears at Yale Field on Saturday. The Elis now sit at 11-6-1 in 2010, while NYIT falls to 4-9.
"There are a lot of ways to win a baseball game," said John Stuper, Yale's Mazzuto Family Head Coach for Baseball. "Yesterday it was pitching, and today our hitting really picked up us. Brenner and Trygg had huge days at the plate, and Megee came through with the biggest hit after some bad at-bats earlier in the game."
Brenner's three-home run day at the plate was the first for a Bulldog since Matt Bird '97 hit three roundtrippers in one game in his freshman season of 1994. After his two-homer and five-RBI day, Larsson-Danforth now leads the Bulldogs with six longballs and 27 runs batted in.
Batting out of the leadoff spot, junior second baseman Gant Elmore was 3-for-4 with two runs scored. Junior designated hitter Trey Rallis and sophomore shortstop Matt Schmidt both drove in runs during the Yale comeback.
Lally (4-0) tossed six scoreless innings in relief to earn the win. The junior southpaw scattered five hits, walked one and struck out seven.
"On a hitter's day, Vinny was outstanding out of the bullpen," said Stuper. Freshman left-hander Christopher O'Hare and senior right-hander and captain Joe Castaldi combined to throw the first three innings for Yale.
After the Bears started the scoring via an RBI single by Effrey Valdez, Brenner evened the tally at 1-1 with his first solo shot of the day.
The home team would pull away in the third inning, posting seven runs and sending 13 men to the plate in the frame. Valdez picked up two more RBI with a long home run in the inning. The Bears would score two more runs in the fourth inning to take a commanding 10-1 advantage.
The Bulldogs started their comeback in the top of the fifth inning, as junior rightfielder Andrew Kolmar led off the frame with a single through the left side and moved to second base as Schmidt drew a walk. Elmore then walked to loaded the bases and, two batters later, Rallis worked the third free pass of the frame to push a run home. With the bases still loaded, Larsson-Danforth crushed an 0-2 pitch well beyond the 421' sign in centerfield to clear the bags and bring the Bulldogs within striking distance, trailing 10-6. Two batters later, Brenner would hit another home run to cut the deficit to three runs at 10-7.
After Lally set the Bears down in order in the fifth, Kolmar again started up the Yale offense, getting hit by a pitch to lead off the top of the sixth inning and promptly moving into scoring position on a passed ball. Schmidt, the next batter, cashed in on the RBI opportunity with a single down the left field line.
The Bulldogs completed their comeback in the top of the fifth inning, led off by a Schmidt walk. Elmore then singled to put runners on the corners for Megee, who jacked his fifth home run of the season to put Yale in the lead, 11-10. Larsson-Danforth and Brenner each added solo homers in the frame to run the score its eventual final of 13-10.
Yale will play one more non-conference game final to Ivy League play, traveling to nearby Quinnipiac for one nine-inning contest on Wednesday, March 31. First pitch from Hamden, Conn. is slated for 3 p.m.

Commission outlines how EU govts could standardise admin
Citizens may eventually be able to use govt services across borders
The European Commission has published documents which it hopes will result in governments across Europe standardising the way they run their administrations. The Commission said the documents would help make government services interoperable.
The Commission's European Interoperability Strategy (EIS) and the European Interoperability Framework (EIF) will, it hopes, help EU citizens to interact with governments across the EU's 27 member states without having to negotiate different kinds of systems.
It hopes that citizens will use government services across borders in the way that some consumers use business and retail services across EU borders.
"More and more citizens and businesses are making use of the European single market's freedoms," said a Commission statement. "However, citizens are often obliged to contact, or even to travel to, public administrations abroad to deliver or collect information or documents they need to work, study or travel within the EU."
"In order to overcome these constraints (so-called 'e-barriers'), public administrations should be able to exchange the necessary information and cooperate to deliver public services across borders," it said. "That requires ensuring interoperability among public administrations."
Some of the problems of interoperability have already largely been solved, the Commission said.
"Interoperability has several dimensions: legal, organisational, semantic and technical," said the statement. "All of them are important, but thanks to the Internet and to the work of standardisation bodies and other organisations, significant progress has already been achieved in the area of technical interoperability, thereby ensuring openness, promoting reusability and fostering competition."
"The European Interoperability Framework paves the way for public administrations in the EU to use a common approach by adopting guiding principles to allow genuine collaboration between public administrations, while modernising and rationalising their systems to increase in a cost-efficient way their capability to provide high quality public services," it said.
The Commission said that countries were already working to make services interoperable between local, regional and national authorities, but that they should also be ensuring interoperability on an international scale.
"The European Union is about cooperating to create an environment in which citizens and businesses can thrive," said Commission vice president Maroš Šefčovič. "European public administrations have to lead the way in working together. This cannot happen without real, effective interoperability between public administrations at all levels."
Industry body Openforum Europe welcomed the parts of the framework which deal with the use of open technical standards to allow governments' computer systems to work together. Its members include Google, Oracle and open source software company Red Hat.
"EIF will help public authorities escape from the sort of technology lock-in into one single vendor that until now has been the norm across Europe," said Openforum Europe chief executive, Graham Taylor.

"With Plan B, they can do it now and deal with it later."
May 3, 2009 § 12 Comments
Hey, Mike Galanos? Shut the fuck up. Your "commentary" on the tyranny of 17-year-old girls (a.k.a. me) having access to emergency contraception is naive, elitist, and contrived.
In a matter of weeks, teenage girls, just 17 years old, will be able to get their hands on the "morning after pill" without ever talking to a doctor and without their parents ever knowing or being a part of this major decision.
The pills are in my HOT LITTLE HANDS! And one day I will rule the world with them.
Think of a 17-year-old girl. Most of the time she's a high school senior, still living at home with Mom and Dad. She still needs her parents in the tough times. But they will be cut out of a traumatic situation. All thanks to U.S. District Judge Edward Korman. Korman stated in his order, "The record shows that FDA officials and staff both agreed that 17-year-olds can use Plan B safely without a prescription."
Why oh why would Korman say that it's safe for teens to use emergency contraception without a prescription? Gee, maybe because there was no medical evidence from the start that the pill could be dangerous to women under the arbitrarily chosen golden age of 18. It's more than obvious that the conservative movement to restrict access is not about the health and safety of teenage women, but about legislating who is and isn't allowed to have sex.
I'm very much like the ghost girl Galanos describes: I'm 17, not a senior but a junior (gasp! so young!), and yes, I do "still need my parents in the tough times" (gotta loathe that Lifetime-esque word choice). But here's the difference between me and Galanos: I trust young women. I know that we are the only ones who can be sure if our parents are trustworthy, if they'll support us through whatever "major decision" we make. In an ideal world, of course we'd talk to our parents, not just if we needed to take Plan B, but about all that messy sex stuff: attraction, consent, myriad birth control options, pleasure. But our world is far from ideal. Far too many parents are abusive or just inconsiderate for Galanos' mandate to hold any value in real life.
And the larger point is, society must help parents, not undermine their rights by keeping them in the dark on their child's life-changing decision.
Oh, word? You're playing that card? It works both ways, Galanos. I vote for a culture in which the rights of parents and teenagers are respected, where each side is honest and informed and open-minded. I vote for a culture in which the person in the hot seat – the young woman, in this case – has the ultimate right of choice.
The [pill] is 89 percent effective in preventing pregnancy when it's taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex. It's no surprise that Planned Parenthood applauds the now broader access to this drug, calling it "a strong statement to American women that their health comes before politics." I question that, when we are cutting a doctor out of the decision to administer a powerful drug. Timing is essential to the drug's effectiveness, Plan B supporters say, so getting parents and doctors involved would unnecessarily delay the teen's ability to pop the pill the "morning after." Does it really take that long to get a prescription?
Uh…YES. If I get sick, there's a good chance that my pediatrician can see me within a few days on short notice, but not always. If I needed an appointment to get an EC prescription – if time was a particularly important factor – I'm pretty sure they'd rush me in, but this is a private practice with affluent clients. Who knows what the situation is like for other women? I certainly don't – but unlike Galanos, I don't make huge assumptions about that sort of thing. Galanos is effectively asking, "Why are we expanding quick access, when it's somewhat likely that most women will probably be able to get a prescription within the very small time slot?" What he should be asking is, "How can we make this powerful option available to every single woman who might want it?"
But let's get back to the first point: We are making it available to high school girls. We're enabling teenagers to act carelessly with an easy way out. During a recent discussion on my show, Jackie Morgan MacDougall, supervising producer of the Web site Momlogic.com, said it best. "Teenagers are known for thinking they're untouchable and here we are saying that they can continue to do that and that there aren't any consequences." With Plan B, they can do it now and deal with it later.
Don't tell me high school dynamics won't play in here. The boyfriend will talk his girlfriend into unprotected sex with the promise of buying the "morning after pill" the next day. Any 17-year-old boy will be able to buy this drug, just as any 17-year-old girl will.
Yes, this could encourage unprotected sex and that means a greater risk for sexually transmitted diseases. What about the 17-year-old girl who may get Plan B for her 15-year-old sophomore friend? These are the kind of decisions high school girls will make.
Korman didn't stop there. He asked the FDA to consider making Plan B available to girls of any age. That's a slippery slope and what's worse, the ones who will fall are our daughters.
Dear readers, I wish I had a witty antidote to this sexist, ageist, slut-shaming, sorry excuse for logic. Unfortunately, I'm only human.
§ 12 Responses to "With Plan B, they can do it now and deal with it later."
Great takedown. (I'm here from the feministe blogaround.)
You nailed it in your critique. The only thing I would add that you didn't really touch on is related to his whining about how "bad boys" will use Plan B to talk their girlfriends into sex. It just strikes me as so odd that his response to that is to take away the option of Plan B rather than to address the problem of boys pressuring girls into sex. When it's about gun control, conservatives say "guns don't kill people; people do," and want to allow freer access to guns so that people can "protect" themselves. When it's about birth control, conservatives blame the pills for people's choices and want to restrict the availability of a safe medication that would help people protect themselves.
This guy's assumption that any pair of kids can get Plan B is also classist- it is very, very pricey, especially if it's being purchased with just allowances and birthday checks (aka if parents are not involved or are unwilling to help finance the purchase). I would also argue that a teen who knows what Plan B is (and I hope that most do!) would also know that it is a LAST MINUTE thing that can cause the woman a slight bit of pain, aka, I would argue that most people (teens included) know that EC isn't just something that you should be turning too if you're too lazy, in the heat of the moment, to find that condom or take another preventative measure against pregnancy. Geeeeeeez, yo.
*turning to

Marquette University offers one of the best M.A. programs in Political Science in the United States. The program is at the same time rigorous and flexible, and it provides a strong foundation for further graduate or law study, as well as for careers in government or in non-governmental organizations which require an understanding of politics and public policy.
The M.A. program requires 30 credits of graduate-level work. The Department offers course work in the following fields:
Students are required to take two types of graduate seminars -- core seminars and research seminars -- although students also have ability to take upper level undergraduate courses in the Political Science Department for graduate credit, "cognate" courses outside the department, and independent study courses designed by student and the supervising professor.
Core seminars in American Politics (POSC 6201), Comparative Politics (POSC 6401), International Politics (POSC 6601), and Political Philosophy (POSC 6801) survey the scholarly literature in each field, while the research methods course (POSC 6101) provides students with an overview of various data collection and analysis techniques. Research seminars concentrate on a more narrowly-focused research question or questions in a particular field. Political Science M.A. students are required to take three of the following core seminars: POSC 6201, 6401, 6601, 6801; they also take POSC 6101.
Of the 30 credits counted toward the M.A. degree, 9 can come from outside the Department of Political Science. These "cognate" courses allow students to pursue topics related to their field of study in other disciplines through courses taught by other departments at Marquette University. Our M.A. students can also take a limited number of upper-level undergraduate courses on topics of particular interest to them. The student and professor agree on an additional set of requirements for the course in that case, and the credits count toward the 30 required for the M.A. degree.

The NCAA has long been more than just a decal on Nafeesa Connolly's Simmons College volleyball jersey.
The 2010 Natick High graduate has made a name for herself on the court, but she is about to have a view on college athletics that even student-athletes themselves aren't privy to.
Starting June 16, Connolly will get an up close look at the governing body of college athletics when she begins her internship at the NCAA headquarters in Indianapolis. There were 620 applicants for a cohort that consists of just 25 interns. And for Connolly's specific internship, in the governance department, there are just two interns.
"The great thing about this position is it's in the executive office, so I'll be exposed to all divisions and all types of people from across the NCAA landscape," said Connolly, who graduated from Simmons on May 9 with a degree in communications, marketing and business. Her internship runs through May 31 of 2015.
It wasn't a slam dunk — or rather, a bump, set, spike — decision for Connolly, who has been in leadership at Simmons as part of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), where she was a vice chair of Div. III for the last three years.
"Last summer, I was focused on grad school, but around last October, November, something was irking me," she said. "I knew I had to apply."
So began a process that started on Dec. 5, and did not end until she found out she was accepted around the week of March 14.
Connolly's sophomore year at Simmons, she was approached to serve on the Student Athlete Advisory Committee, and it's a spot she enjoyed.
"At first, all I knew was that there was an advisory committee that did a lot of community service," Connolly said. "My job was to talk to institutions' executive boards, basically about any issues or concerns that could be going on in the conference. Just to share awareness."
Connolly acknowledged that the NCAA is often cast in a negative light, but is keeping an open mind as she heads into the internship.
"There are a lot of factors involved," she said, "but I'm just looking forward to learning more about them, learning where the misconceptions are."
Connolly went to the NCAA convention as a SAAC representative in 2012, and from that time Connolly was hooked.
"I really want to become a change agent in college sports, and make decisions that put student-athlete wellbeing first," Connolly said. "I had a great experience as a Divison III student-athlete and want others to have that experience, if not better."
Connolly gives credit to former Natick High athletic director and football coach Tom Lamb for piquing her interest in staying involved in athletics from a young age.
"He really got me thinking about college sports and the different tracks you can take," Connolly said. "Natick has a lot of pride in its sports and what sports can do for you, and Coach Lamb is a great example of that."
The internship will be valuable in opening doors and making steps toward her goals, however those evolve over time. Connolly mentioned eventually going to graduate school, and perhaps going down a path toward becoming an athletic director.
"It's great to see more and more women become involved with sports that isn't just secretarial work," she said. "And that's something I want to be a part of, too."
Millis paddler shines
At the 32nd Run of the Charles Canoe & Kayak Race on Sunday, April 27, Millis' Peter Malewicz finished first in the Corporate Category of the Rec OC-2.0-Mile Race with a time of 3:56:36.
The signature event of the Charles River Watershed Association (CRWA) saw over 1,000 paddlers race down the Charles River in Boston, with thousands of spectators lining the riverbanks to cheer on racers from Dedham to the Finish Line Festival at DCR's Artesani Park in Brighton.
"Everyone had a great time at the Run of the Charles this year," said CRWA Executive Director, Bob Zimmerman. "The energy was high, and all the entered paddlers participated despite the weather."
The Run of the Charles Canoe and Kayak Race is the largest canoe and kayak event in New England, with paddlers coming from all over New England, Washington, DC, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and as far away as Canada and France.

Monsignor Michael W. Banach, a former Auburn resident who has held a number of important posts at the Vatican, was appointed Friday by Pope Benedict XVI as the titular archbishop of Memfi in Egypt.
The appointment was announced Friday morning by the Vatican Information Service.
The archbishop-elect was born in Worcester and was ordained a priest in 1988.
Church officials in Rome said he has been assigned to the office of Apostolic Nuncio and will hold the rank of ambassador, working at the Vatican�s secretary of state�s office.
The archbishop-elect previously served as the Holy See�s permanent representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and the Preparatory Commission for the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization.
He had been also appointed as the Vatican�s permanent observer to the United Nations Organization for Industrial Development and to the Office of the United Nations in Vienna, Austria.
The 50-year-old archbishop-elect is the son of Wallace M. and Jane F. (Anisko) Banach and is a 1984 graduate of the College of the Holy Cross, where he studied philosophy.
He studied for the priesthood at the North American College in Rome and was ordained at St. Paul�s Cathedral by Bishop Timothy J. Harrington.
The archbishop-elect was assigned for a time to St. Anne Parish in Shrewsbury before going back to Rome for canonical studies at the Gregorian University.
He was elevated to the position of monsignor by Pope John Paul II on Jan. 11, 1996.
The archbishop-elect has been working for the Vatican�s diplomatic corps since 1994 and has served in Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Bolivia and Bulgaria.
A titular bishop is technically not in charge of a diocese.
Being assigned a titular archbishop means, however, that the individual appointed is nonetheless a leader in the church. Titular bishops also memorialize ancient churches, many of which have been suppressed because the regions in which they are located are ruled by non-Christians.

What a fun time with friends yesterday in the NC gamelands south of Morganton, NC and on the trails of South Mountain State Park! Here is a link to more run photos.
I think about 27 runners came out to celebrate life with Mohammed Idlibi
Woop woop....Birthday runners…. This year we will time the run and provide a 16 mile split, and a 32 mile finish time.
There will be bonus/boner minutes added and deducted from your actual time based on the following criteria:
Bonus/Boner Minutes
Acquiring the first will result in faster "official" finish times; acquiring the latter will result in slower "official" finish times. Bonus Minutes can be acquired by…
- Wearing your Sultan crown the entire distance.
- Taking off the crown will result in boner minutes.
- Eating a full slice of birthday cake.
- Being extra nice to our volunteers.
- Doing a headstand or cartwheel at least once while on the run.
After eating cake, Wendy decided to spend a little more time at the Cake Station and run back with her husband Keith so Anne and I shared the remainder of the run together. I appreciated the hours of conversation about fun and serious topics-and I can believe how FAST those miles felt. Though we certainly weren't fast-With all the photo opps, cake eating, cartwheels and rambling around it took almost 6 hours to do the run!
I am very appreciative to Mo for organizing this an to Lily and Oz for being so helpful and fun loving! This venue is hard to find. Map Quest Roper Hollow Road, Morganton. The trail starts at the end of this road and eventually winds up in South Mountains State Park. The Park map shows the upper CCC road which we ran miles on before entering the park.
Sometime this week I expect Mo will report to us the "outcome" of the run. All I know is if people had ½ as much of a fun day I had-the outcome = GREAT fun with goofy friends!
I've made a "movie slideshow" set to music-yet after 3 hours of self tutoring still can't get it to post online...check back in a day or so when I regain my patience! Happy day!

I've been meaning to share something with you for a while now. For those of you that follow me on Instagram and Twitter, you will know about this already, but I can now finally share it here on my blog too: my feature shoots in the August/September issue of Food and Travel magazine.
It was back in mid-2011 that I was asked by the art director of Food and Travel magazine if I would like to shoot their Transylvania Gourmet Traveller feature for them. At the time, I really didn't know much about Transylvania except for the fact that it was in Romania and that it was famous for vampires. Saying I was pleasantly surprised would be an understatement. What I discovered about Transylvania couldn't have been further from what I expected, and made me fall wholeheartedly in love with the country.
Together with the lovely writer, Rosemary Barron, we set out in October last year for our Transylvanian adventure. So you can see why I said I've been meaning to share this with you for so long – nearly a year since I shot this feature! What impressed me the most about Transylvania were the warm-hearted people, their love of good company and especially their approach to good food. I think Rosemary says it best in the article: '...there's no talk of local, sustainable or organic food systems. These are taken for granted.'
To read the full article and see all the images of this feature as it appears in the magazine, I've put the article into an Issuu link here and below so that you can flip through it in true magazine style. Click 'Expand' to view it in full screen mode, and you can also click on any of the images below for a slightly larger view.
In the same issue (last three images below), you'll also find my feature shoot of the Basque Country, which I visited for 5 days last month together with the equally lovely writer, Kate Hawkings. It appears in the magazine as a two page article for a Top 10 of the Basque Country, but I have to say I experienced so much more. I have hundreds more images from the Basque Country, and I'd love to do a whole blog post about it as it is such a beautiful part of Spain, with an amazing food culture, creative & fun people, stunning architecture, to name just a few things.
And finally, apologies for not posting here for so long, I'm currently in the middle of a huge cookbook shoot, while shooting a few magazine features in between, including more for Food and Travel, and I only just realized I hadn't published a blog post in so long. More recipe posts to come soon, I promise. And I'll share more details of the above shoots as soon as I can. Stay tuned.

The Bay Club Company is headquartered in San Francisco, with clubs from Marin to San Diego and a team of more 3,000 associates who are guided by integrity, innovation, growth, and community. Sparked by imagination and a progressive culture, the Company has entered a growth plan that has taken it from 12 clubs to more than 20 properties in an 18-month period, with continued accelerated growth anticipated over the next five years.

This papier-mâché bowl was used by the Meshebat Naphesh Society. It is decorated with flowers and inscribed with 'Bread, Meat and Coal' on the outside.
The Meshebat Naphesh Society was founded in 1779 to provide bread, meat and coal to poor Jews. It was the first charity established by the Ashkenazi (Jews of central or eastern European origin) community in England.
The charity later became known as the 'Society for Distributing Bread, Meat and Coal amongst the Jewish Poor during the Winter Season' and was commonly referred to as the 'Jewish Bread, Meat and Coal Society'.

As temps dip in NH, so do oil-heat costsBy PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader
November 23. 2013 9:18PM
New Hampshire is expected to feel its first blast of winter-like cold today, but residents who heat their homes with oil can take heart: They will be paying less this year than last, experts say, and that could allow them to push up the thermostat an extra degree or two.
Meanwhile, natural gas, propane and electric customers can all expect to pay more this season, some as much as 13 percent more, according to a federal agency.
Today's weather forecast calls for high temperatures in the 20s in southern New Hampshire. With wind gusts up to 45 mph, some areas will experience near-zero wind chills.
"It's going to feel like mid-January," said Tom Hawley, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine.
Oil customers can expect to pay 2 percent less to heat their homes this winter, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported in its annual "Winter Fuels Outlook." According to the state's Office of Energy Planning (OEP), the average price per gallon for home heating oil in New Hampshire last week was $3.63 per gallon. A year ago, it was $3.92.
Admittedly, the dip in price might not amount to much of a savings, but after several seasons of steadily climbing oil prices, it's a big improvement.
"It's good news," said John Rider, chairman of the Oil Heat Council of New Hampshire and a principal owner of Dead River Oil Co.'s North Haverhill location.
His company was selling oil for $3.64 a gallon on Friday - nearly 30 cents less per gallon than the price a year ago. "Cheaper prices for heating oil help our industry. It's a more affordable fuel for the customers."
The heating-cost forecasts are in the EIA's 2013-14 Winter Fuels and Energy Outlook Report, which is available to consumers, oil dealers and providers of natural gas, electric heat and propane. The temperatures cited in the report are close to those seen last winter, with the Northeast projected to be about 3 percent colder and the West about 3 percent warmer.
Compared with last winter, people who primarily heat their homes with natural gas can expect to pay 13 percent more for the product. Those using propane can expect a 9 percent increase, and those using electricity can expect a 2 percent increase.
Not set in stone
Of course, forecasts can be wrong. As always, any disruption in output by big oil-producing countries could create a spike in prices.
"I think if you talk to three different agencies or analysts, you'll probably get three different stories - and even those will vary depending on the day," said Rider. "There are so many variables that can come into play and affect pricing that it's almost impossible to predict where they are going to be a few weeks from now. Now that being said, the most recent forecast I saw had prices staying fairly steady, where they are now, which is a good thing."
According to price listings posted at NewEnglandOil.com, the lowest price in the state last week was in the southern region, at $3.28 a gallon. The highest price was in the northern region, at $3.70.
Prices in New Hampshire are comparable to those in other New England states. In Massachusetts, average regional prices were steadier, ranging from $3.41 per gallon to $3.51. In Maine, average regional prices range from $3.30 in southern Maine to $3.63 in the Downeast Maine region.
With 47 percent of homes heated with oil, New Hampshire is one of only four states where that fuel is the dominant source of warmth. Nationally, natural gas is the dominant home heating fuel, followed by electricity and then oil, according to Bloomberg,com.
Last week, natural gas prices ranged from $1.15 to $1.19 per therm, electric heat was 15 cents per kilowatt hour, kerosene was $4.14 per gallon, propane was $3.02 per gallon and wood was $2.47 per ton of pellets or $250 per cord.
According to the state, natural gas and wood provide the best bang for the buck, as the two fuel sources are the cheapest when considering prices for every million British thermal unit, or BTU, something the OEP calls on its website "the true cost of the fuel per unit of heat."
Natural gas ranges from $11.46 to $11.94 per million BTU, and wood is $14.98 for pellets and $15.15 for cord wood. Electric heat is the most expensive, at $43.27 per million BTU, while oil is $26.19, kerosene is $30.66 and propane is $33.12.
Families who anticipate financial struggles this winter can apply for help paying a portion of their heating bills.
The state's Fuel Assistance Program is federally funded and administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, but the assistance is provided through local community action agencies. The state provided assistance to 36,805 households last winter and expects to see at least the same number of requests this year, said Celeste Lovett, the program's director in New Hampshire. "We're getting requests from people who have never been on the program before," she said.

Interview by Brian Seghers
Brian Seghers: If you could go back in time to any era, or to work with somebody, or somewhere, where would you like to go? Have you ever thought about that?
Isaac Fainkujen: Yeah, I think for me the era that's most interesting is kind of the tattoo renaissance that took place in and around the Bay area in the 70s and the 80s with Ed Hardy, Bob Roberts, Greg Irons, Eddy Deutsche and people like those guys that started to push the boundaries of what was okay and what wasn't okay to do in a tattoo…
We have the good fortune of learning from their experiments so that we don't have to make some of the same mistakes, or do things that we can look at their work 20 years later and say, "Okay, that worked," or "That didn't work." I think that's a really exciting time for tattooing and I think, to me, it probably produced the most tattoo artists, I would have to say, that I'm influence by directly as far as tattooing goes.
It seemed to be a time where there wasn't just the sailor tattooer or the biker tattooer, or the person that kind of did tattoos as a… I don't know how to say that?
BS: They were bringing more into it?
IF: Yeah, the art –the people were artists becoming tattooers rather than people becoming artists through tattooing. Not that there's anything wrong with that, as I said before, some of my favorite tattooers are people that got into art through tattooing. Maybe they doodled a little bit here and there, like everybody does when they're a kid, and then they didn't really start buckling down on drawing and they didn't open their minds to art in a broad spectrum until they got into tattooing.

Details of Musical / Play and the Ticket Luck value
The magic and impact of theater is known to all and sundry. Being one of the oldest and most influential forms of performing arts, theater enjoys a unique status among different forms of arts. Over the years, the world of theater has changed a lot and theater productions are quite advanced today in terms of production, presentation and promotion than they ever were. That's the reason why musicals and plays still rule the hearts of millions despite the heavy presence new age media.
Typically, musicals and plays are differentiated from each other on the basis of content and presentation. Plays are said to be theatrical presentation where story is told through dialogues and expressions while Musicals include elements like music, songs and dance. Again, these are different from Opera where the whole proceedings involve singing.
In old times, the word 'play' used to referred to only those literature pieces that were written to be presented as theatrical performance. But there were several exceptions as well as some of the greatest dramatists preferred to publish their work rather than staging it. Today, these classifications have blurred and a usual theater enthusiast is only concerned with the ENTERTAINMENT part, no matter if it's a musical or a play.
The history of musical and plays can be traced back to several centuries ago and it is one of the earliest forms of performing arts. It was only since the early 20th century that plays containing music and dance became known as musicals, but such format was present since ancient Greeks and Romans times. Same is applied to Middle Ages and 1700's; however none of the work of these times has impacted modern day musicals as much as the theatrical presentations from the French and Viennese of 1800's.
The present day musicals and plays are mostly inspired from the operettas and vaudeville shows of America, France and England of 19th century. The phenomena developed from the mid 1800's onwards and it is mainly credited to the successful musical productions of Gilbert & Sullivan, musical farces of Harrigan & Hart and The Black Crook; a popular musical of 1860. The 1900's brought distinctive sound and style to American musicals and made them a world phenomenon. Early 1900's were the golden decades for theater industry as many new performing arts venues were established and Broadway magic spread everywhere. The Merry Widow, Follies and Showboat were the ultimate stage presentations of those times. Even during Great Depression, musicals like Of Thee I Sing, On Your Toes and Cole Porter shined like gold.
The 1940's proved a path-breaking decade for the world of musicals and plays. At one hand, success of Pal Joey and Weill and Lady in the Dark proved gateway for realistic musicals, then on the other hand, super extravagant Oklahoma changed the whole concept of musicals. It was similar styled productions Annie Get Your Gun and Kiss Me Kate. The 1950's brought new dimension to music of Broadway and the songs and dances from The King and I, Gypsy and My Fair Lady became classics.
Fast forward to today, and we have musicals and plays shining brightly and distinctively in the constellation of entertainment world. If you still hear news about a Broadway revival faring better than a big budgeted Hollywood production, then it shows the impact, influence and popularity of theater on the society. The plays and musicals of today can be divided into many categories on the basis of their genre, presentation and production values. The subjects vary from comedy to tragedy, from fantasy to satire, from history to social issues and many others areas.
The terms Broadway and Off-Broadway are commonly used to distinguish the musicals and plays in America. While many people still think that location is the main difference between Broadway and Off-Broadway theater; it has more to do with theater size, grandeur of production and commercial orientation than anything else. In London, West End is the hub of theater while other countries also houses similar theater leagues.
Musicals can also be categorized as originals, adaptations or revivals. Original musicals are those that are planned and written exclusively for stage while adaptations are taken either from a novel or movie. Some of the biggest Broadway hits were adapted from movies. The Lion King, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, The Full Monty, Hairspray, 42nd Street and Beauty and the Beast are supreme examples of Hollywood-to-Stage adaptations.

(Incomplete look at Steve Jobs)
My vivid recollection of Apple founder Steve Jobs is his announcement of the iPod, followed by his loss of one big mop of hair as he was slowly dying from cancer.
This biographical look at Jobs opens with that announcement, then switches back to his auditing classes at Reed University in 1974 and follows him for the next 30 years.
It is a story of a driven man willing to abandon friends and co-workers and risk the future of his company to get what he dreams is possible. If you want a peek at the man and his type A personality, plus a look at the dog-eat-dog business world and the competitive nature of the rapidly developing computer business, you've got to see this movie.
If you are looking for an in-depth study of what made Steve Jobs tick, you won't find it here. Many personal moments in his life, such as his upbringing and his denial of fathering a daughter are left hanging.
Ashton Kutcher does a good job in portraying Jobs. He looks, acts and talks like him. Many of the real-life people who surround him are also look-alikes, as you will see in the closing credits. We also get a close look at computer nerd Steve Wozniak (Josh Gad), who was an absolute genius and the reason for Jobs' success and the future of computers.
You will not walk away from this movie liking Steve Jobs (perhaps that is why they left out his sad demise) or many of the corporate types who took away his power. You will feel for the computer nerds who loved what they were doing but were never properly rewarded or recognized for it.
"Jobs" is not a great movie, but it does give you some inside information into a new and strange world. Rated PG-13, with profanity and some drug use.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia has demanded an explanation from Malaysia for why it turned away an Australian senator from his fact-finding mission to investigate the Southeast Asian country's electoral system ahead of elections due within months, the prime minister said Sunday.
Nick Xenophon, an independent South Australia state senator, returned from Malaysia on Sunday saying he had been deported on the orders of the "highest levels" of the Malaysian government for his support of democracy reformers.
He told reporters on arrival at Melbourne International Airport after an 8-hour flight that he had become the first Australian lawmaker ever to be deported from any country when he was turned away by on authorities on arrival at Kuala Lumpur on Saturday.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard revealed that her government made "immediate and strenuous representations" for Xenophon to be allowed to stay in Malaysia.
"I was surprised and disappointed to see the treatment of Senator Xenophon yesterday," Gillard told reporters.
"Clearly we didn't succeed in getting the agreement of the Malaysian government for him to remain in Malaysia. We will continue to pursue this issue with the Malaysian government," she added.
Xenophon blamed his support for the Malaysian democracy reform group Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections, known as Bersih, for the shock decision to turn him away.
"I understand the decision to deport me came from the highest levels of the Malaysian government," Xenophon said.
"I was told I was being deported under a certain section of the Immigration Act which basically relates to being a security risk, but it seems the only risk I am is to embarrassing the Malaysia government because of my advocacy for clean elections in Malaysia," he added.
Xenophon said it was up to Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak to say whether he had ordered the deportation.
Xenophon had planned to meet with Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, a Cabinet minister, electoral officials and political activists to discuss transparency issues for national elections that must be held by the end of June.
Hisan Hamzah, the police chief of Malaysia's central Selangor state, said Xenophon was taken into custody when he arrived at the airport early Saturday and denied entry "for security reasons." Xenophon was detained in an interrogation area of the airport until he was put on a plane to Melbourne on Saturday night.
Immigration Director Gen. Alias Ahmad said in a government-issued statement that Xenophon was barred because he was at a banned Kuala Lumpur demonstration last year. The rally was organized by Bersih.
"Malaysia is a free and democratic country, but no one is above the law," the statement said. "Authorities will take the appropriate action against any individual deemed to have violated national laws."
Xenophon, a former lawyer, said he was considering appealing his deportation order in the Malaysian courts. He would have to testify in such a court case via a video link because he was banned from entering Malaysia indefinitely.
Xenophon said the visit planned by him and three parliamentary colleagues was intended to be low-key event which would have attracted little media attention had it gone ahead.
"You need to ask the question: what does the Malaysian government have to fear by having an open and robust scrutiny of their electoral processes?" he said.
"If the Malaysian government thought that they were doing the smart thing, I think it's spectacularly backfired on them," he added.
Xenophon visited Kuala Lumpur last April as a foreign observer at a rally where police used tear gas to disperse tens of thousands of Malaysians who demanded sweeping changes to electoral policies that they say are manipulated to favor Razak's long-ruling coalition.
He subsequently said the crackdown on the rally raised "serious questions over how authoritarian" the country appeared to be.
Anwar called Xenophon's detention "a gross abuse of power," while Lim Chee Wee, president of the Malaysian Bar, which comprises more than 12,000 lawyers, said it was "shameful" and "absurd," adding that authorities owed an apology to the senator.
The three Australian lawmakers that were to join Xenophon for next week's meetings have canceled their trip in response to the deportation.
One of them, government lawmaker Steve Georganas, described the intended itinerary as normal and "very balanced," with meetings planned with both government and opposition figures.
"It highlights that what we consider democracy here in Australia — there's different views around the world of what that word 'democracy' means," Georganas told Nine Network television on Sunday.
The fact-finding mission had not been officially endorsed by the Australian government.
Malaysia's government says the country's electoral system is free and fair. Officials have promised to boost transparency in this year's elections by allowing Malaysians living overseas to cast postal ballots, lengthening campaign periods and bolstering security to prevent voter fraud.
But opposition activists say authorities have not done enough to address concerns over discrepancies in voter registration rolls, vote-buying and the use of government-controlled news media to denounce the opposition.
The upcoming elections are expected to be a close fight between Najib's National Front coalition, which has governed Malaysia since independence from Britain in 1957, and Anwar's three-party opposition alliance.
The National Front suffered its worst performance in 2008 elections, when it lost more than a third of the seats in Parliament amid public complaints about corruption and racial discrimination.
Associated Press writer Sean Yoong in Kuala Lumpur contributed to this report.

Weekly roundup: In which we try to not talk about the government shutdown
Let's get this out of the way. The government is still shut down. But let's talk about some of the other things that happened this week. This is your weekly roundup.
For example, Supreme Court Justice and somewhat famous Catholic Antonin Scalia gave a rather extensive interview with NY Magazine that was published this week. Topics up for discussion: the pope, originalism, the devil, and the gays. Read some excerpts from the interview here.
Speaking of the Supreme Court, they are back in session, despite the... thing we're not discussing today. On the docket this year are issues like affirmative action, freedom of speech and religion, and presidential power among other things.
One thing the court will not hear is the Virginia appeal over the state's sodomy law. The state's attorney general and republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli had been pushing to have the state's sodomy laws reinstated in the state.
An old-ish Supreme Court case has finally come to a resolution. Dusten Brown, the biological father of Baby Veronica, has decided to not pursue any further litigation. Therefore, Veronica's adoptive parents will retain full custody. Brown made a tearful and heartbreaking statement informing the world of his decision, and he also spoke directly to Baby Veronica, telling her that he would always love her and she would always be welcome in his home.
Also in Washington, one entertaining aspect of the unnamed crisis has been the Congressional chaplain, Barry C. Black. He has called on God to "Save us from the madness." And all God's people say "Amen." You can see a full profile of Chaplain Black here.
Another response of some religious groups to the crisis-that-shall-not-be-named has been a "faithful filibuster." A small group of faith leaders gathered outside the Capitol and read 2,000 verses from the Bible that mention the poor and vulnerable.
Scott Carpenter, an astronaut and the second American to orbit the earth, died on Thursday at the age of 88. He only went into space once, and then only for about 5 hours. But when he returned to Earth, he became a U.S. Senator for Ohio.
In Minnesota, the police are reopening a case that they thought closed. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis is once again under investigation after new documents have surfaced in a child pornography case that had been filed against Father Jonathan Shelley.
In Poland, Bishop Jozef Michalik made the claim that sex abuse is caused primarily be divorce. So parents, make sure that you raise your kids right. If they become pedophiles, it's your fault.
Meanwhile at the Vatican, Pope Francis has called for an extraordinary synod, to take place in October of 2014, which will consider families, divorce, and remarriage. Some dioceses in Germany took that as a sign to start openly allowing remarried persons to participate in communion, and the Vatican issued a warning to not reform TOO fast, now.
The Vatican also recently had to recall a commemorative medal commissioned for the pontificate of Francis. It had a misspelling: Jesus was spelled with an L in place of a J. Whoops.
Cardinal Dolan met with Pope Francis, and described the interview as "inspirational."
Speaking of Cardinal Dolan and the pope, Stephen Colbert has been selected to be the keynote speaker at the 68th annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner. Check out some of Colbert's funniest moments talking about the church here.
Our Orthodox brothers and sisters celebrated the 1,700 year anniversary of the Edict of Milan, which ended the persecution of Christians in the Roman empire.
In adorable news, this 99-year-old man acts as an altar server in Columbus, OH. He is described as "one of the happiest people I have ever met" by Father Joseph Wagner.
Finally, Starbucks has responded to recent events in Washington by encouraging us to be nice to each other. If you buy another customer a beverage, the coffee chain will offer you a free cup of coffee.
So go, enjoy the taste of human decency. Be kind to each other, and enjoy the weekend.

10 Fashion Trends We Want To Bring Back
We're bringing hoop skirts back, you other fuckers don't know how to act. Our inspiration is Carla Bruni. Not because she wears hoop skirts, but because, according to Racked Carla was out wearing nude pantyhose like some kind of crazy person, and maybe she is brining nude pantyhose back.
We were not aware that nude pantyhose ever left. I mean, they've left us because it's the end of July and it's 92 degrees out, but we'll probably start wearing them come fall again. Maybe because we are red hot fashion trendsetters, maybe because we've been doing so every winter forever. Anyhow, here are some legitimately defunct trends that we'd like to see someone try (caveat: not Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga doesn't count).[ITPGallery]

Claremont reelects incumbents, approves charter commission
Union Leader Correspondent
— Voters re-elected incumbents and approved the creation of a charter commission during city elections Tuesday.
The municipal elections brought out 18 percent of the city's registered voters with 1,196 out of 6,500 voters casting ballots.
The charter commission article was approved by voters 593 to 327.
City Manager Guy Santagate said Wednesday that the date for an election of nine members of the charter commission will be set by city officials at the next City Council meeting on Nov. 13 "and then that group will review the needs of the charter," Santagate said.
The commission members will seek to update the charter — rules that govern how the city is run.
Any proposed changes would be presented to the city council, which would place the proposed changes on a ballot for voters to decide on, he said.
The whole process takes about a year, Santagate said.
It has been about 10 years since the city has reviewed its charter, Santagate said, saying it is a healthy process laid out by state law.
"I think it's a good step to have a charter commission and review what kind of government you want to have. It's been a long time since they had one so I think it's a proper thing for a city to do," Santagate said. "They can take up any items they want. I am sure they will get public input along the road here."
Incumbents Kyle Messier, with 658 votes, Keith Raymond, with 637 votes, and John Simonds with 521 votes and newcomer James Reed Jr. with 463 votes won the four city council at-large seats up for election.
Nick Koloski won the Ward three councilor seat with 176 votes.
Running unopposed, Mayor James Neilsen IV and Assistant Mayor Victor Bergeron and Ward two councilor Carolyn Towle were reelected.
Also running unopposed, Charlene Lovett was elected to Ward two seat formerly held by Roger Formidoni.

AL Capsules
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Matt Moore pitched six solid innings to remain unbeaten and tie for the major league lead in wins, sending the surging Tampa Bay Rays to a 5-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night.
Moore (7-0) yielded a three-run homer to David Ortiz in the first, then limited the struggling Red Sox to one hit over the next five innings.
The Rays overcame the early deficit with a five-run fifth off John Lackey (1-4). Jose Molina and Matt Joyce each drove in two runs in the inning, helping Tampa Bay extend its winning streak to a season-high six games.
Boston has lost six of seven, including three straight.
Moore allowed three hits and struck out eight. The 23-year-old lefty matched Washington's Jordan Zimmerman for the major league lead in victories, became the first Tampa Bay starter to begin a season 7-0 and tied a club record by winning his eighth straight decision dating to September.
Fernando Rodney struck out the side in the ninth to finish the combined three-hitter and earn his seventh save.
NEW YORK (AP) — Robinson Cano hit a two-run double, Lyle Overbay delivered a tiebreaking sacrifice fly and New York rallied past Seattle after Felix Hernandez left following a couple of odd twists.
Hernandez exited after six innings with a 3-1 lead, having outpitching CC Sabathia in the first matchup between the former Cy Young Award winners. Hernandez, however, tweaked his back in the sixth when he fielded a comebacker, pivoted and threw to second for a forceout.
The right-hander allowed one earned run in another strong outing at Yankee Stadium, and leads the AL with a 1.53 ERA. Sabathia, who had won his last eight starts against Seattle, struck out 10 in 6 1-3 innings while giving up 10 hits.
Raul Ibanez hit a two-run homer for Seattle in his return to Yankee Stadium. New York star Curtis Granderson came off the disabled list and went 0 for 3 with a walk in his season debut.
Down 3-1, the Yankees rallied for three runs in the seventh to win for the seventh time in eight games.
Charlie Furbush (0-2) gave up Cano's tying double off the base of the wall in right-center.
Shawn Kelley (2-0) got two outs and Mariano Rivera remained perfect in 16 save chances this season.
TORONTO (AP) — R.A. Dickey snapped a four-start winless streak, Melky Cabrera had four hits against his former team and Toronto beat San Francisco.
Edwin Encarnacion drove in two runs and scored twice as the Blue Jays had a season-high 18 hits and won three straight games for the second time this season.
Dickey (3-5) struck out a season-high 10 in six innings, allowing two runs and six hits, to win for the first time since April 18 against the White Sox.
Brandon Belt hit a solo homer and Pablo Sandoval added a three-run shot in the ninth but it wasn't enough for the NL West-leading Giants, who had won three straight and 10 of 13.
Cabrera went 4 for 5 with two RBIs. He reached on an error and hit an RBI single in Toronto's six-run first inning.
Before the game, Giants manager Bruce Bochy presented Cabrera with his 2012 World Series ring in a private ceremony in the weight room. The MVP of last year's All-Star game, Cabrera was suspended 50 games Aug. 15 for a positive testosterone test, and was later left off San Francisco's postseason roster. He signed a two-year, $16 million deal with Toronto in November.
Barry Zito (3-2) allowed eight runs, five earned, and a season-high 12 hits in 5 2-3 innings.
DETROIT (AP) — Miguel Cabrera homered, Doug Fister pitched seven impressive innings and Andy Dirks gave the Tigers a lift for a second straight night in Detroit's victory over Houston.
Dirks hit a grand slam in Monday's win over Houston, and a night later he capped a three-run fifth with a tiebreaking double. The Tigers added two more runs in the sixth, and Cabrera hit his eighth homer in the seventh, a solo shot that gave Detroit a 6-2 lead.
Fister (5-1) allowed two runs and five hits. He struck out seven without a walk.
Lucas Harrell (3-4) gave up five runs and seven hits in five-plus innings. The Astros have lost six straight and 16 of 19.
BALTIMORE (AP) — Chris Denorfia and Everth Cabrera hit two-out RBI singles off Jim Johnson in the ninth inning, and San Diego got a home run from Carlos Quentin in a victory over Baltimore.
After the Orioles took a 2-1 lead in the eighth, Johnson (1-3) entered with a franchise-record streak of 35 straight converted saves. He immediately gave up two consecutive singles before getting Jedd Gyorko to hit into a 6-4-3 double play. But Denorfia followed with a single up the middle and, after Johnson hit Nick Hundley with a pitch, Cabrera singled to center for a 3-2 lead.
Luke Gregerson (2-2) got the last out in the eighth and Huston Street earned his ninth save. The Padres were 0-18 when trailing after eight innings.
Ryan Flaherty homered for the Orioles, who fell to 18-2 when leading after eight.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Adam Dunn and Dayan Viciedo hit consecutive homers to back another strong start from Jake Peavy in Chicago's victory over Minnesota.
Peavy (5-1) gave up two runs and five hits in seven innings and Tyler Flowers' double in the eighth scored the go-ahead run for the White Sox. Addison Reed earned his 12th save.
Kevin Correia (4-3) allowed four runs and nine hits in seven innings.

text: I just added another post, but I wanted to respond to yours personally. While my daughter's diet has consisted primarily of breast milk, it was probably around 9 months that she showed interest when we offered sips of our smoothies. We're huge Vitamix users and we've offered more and more as the months have gone on. Suffice to say she has had her fair share of leafy greens and fruits and her iron still dropped. So while I am not convinced i need the supplement, i am convinced she needs meat with heme iron.

Don't forget the Judges! Wednesday, January 18, 2012
We're now halfway (!) through January and here in Ohio, thoughts are turning to OMEA Adjudicated Events! Solo & Ensemble events begin January 28th, and High School Large Group events are in March, followed by Junior High events later in the spring. While many of you have been planning since August, our biggest sales for contest music are in January.
Stanton's strongly suggests that when you order your music for Adjudicated Events, you order the copies or scores for your judges at the same time. Solo & Ensemble events have one adjudicator, and Large Group events have three – each adjudicator needs their own copy of each score. Please do not wait until the week of (or the DAY of) your event to order – every year we get many panicked calls from directors at the last minute! If we don't have the piece you need in stock it may take as long as two weeks to order it in, and if it is Permanently Out-of-Print, receiving photocopy permission may take even longer.
Still searching for the perfect contest piece? Our website is up-to-date with this year's Large Group required lists for high school choir, concert band, and orchestra, junior high choir, concert band, and orchestra, and Solo & Ensemble lists for high school instumental and vocal ensembles
Adjudicated Events can be an exciting and rewarding time for you and your students. Let Stanton's help you by placing your orders early!

My character died on a transition and there was no corpse when I went to retrieve it. Tried logging out and back in, tried transitioning to a different server. Nothing. Still no corpse and no items.
Edit: Oooookay, same PC second death. Not in a transition this time. I was carrying a club which was droppable and non plot... but still no corpse! Server is Le'Or in both instances in case that has any relevance.
Bumpety bump. I am able to leave corpses behind now (on Wilderness). Would I be better off sucking up the loss of all my things and just carry on and try to replace everything on my own?

Favorite thing about SLU: The sense of community and caring on campus that comes from the staff and faculty. Our students are amazing – getting to know them and seeing the future through their eyes is astounding. Having them realize their hopes and dreams makes all that we do so worthwhile. And, of course, going to cheer on the men's hockey team and football team is a must with my family and friends!! Go SAINTS!!
Favorite spot in the North Country: camping along the St. Lawrence River on a warm summer night - all of those stars, the sounds of the river - very peaceful!
Favorite restaurant in the North Country: Sergi's in Potsdam!
Tip for incoming first-year students: Be yourself and don't be afraid to try new activities! Explore campus and all of the activities there are for you to try, you don't know when or where you will find a new passion.

Toddler critical from fall injuries
October 05. 2013 10:07PM
BELMONT - A 2-year-old girl remained in critical condition Saturday evening from injuries she suffered when she fell down stairs at her home earlier in the week.
Havana O'Flarherty was in critical condition Saturday night, a nursing supervisor at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, confirmed.
The Rev. James Smith, pastor of First Baptist Church in Belmont, said the church held a prayer vigil Friday. She suffered head injuries when she fell on Wednesday.Smith said about 100 people attended the vigil.
