WASHINGTON -- Put down those calculators and step away from the kitchen table, for now at least, because tax season will start a little later this year.
The Internal Revenue Service said it would start processing individual tax returns on Jan. 30, eight days later than it had planned, because of the various changes to tax laws made in the fiscal cliff deal.
Unfortunately for procrastinators, Washington's political dysfunction won't delay the coming of the tax man -- April 15 still is the deadline to file.
Higher tax rates on household income above $450,000, an inflation adjustment to the alternative minimum tax and other provisions of the deal enacted last week mean the IRS has to make last-minute changes to forms and computer software.

How one woman is making a difference in the world.
You've heard me talk about Warm The World many times. Here's the Pueblo Chieftain's story about my favorite charity and the founder, Nan Sullivan:
'Made with love'
Volunteer knitters Warm the World with hats, blankets
By MARY JEAN PORTER
Nan Sullivan was at "loose ends" when she knitted up her huge project four years ago.
Sullivan's Warm the World last year gave 762 afghans and 1,875 hats and scarves to people needing a little warmth in their lives: hospice patients, babies born to Fort Carson soldiers serving overseas, homeless people weathering cold winter nights. All the items were knitted or crocheted by volunteers.
Sullivan, 45, a Canon City resident, started the project in 2003 when she was confined to bed rest and had made afghans for practically everyone she knew. She also was researching adoption and came up with the idea "to wrap each child in a blanket made with love."
She found willing knitters and crocheters, gave them yarn, and the first year she sent 64 blankets to Romania for orphaned children. Today, 125 volunteers in Colorado and 69 in other states – plus 68 women at Colorado Women's Correctional Facility – are knitting and crocheting for the project. Some of the volunteers make quilts as well.
The project works so well because most of the volunteers have lots of time and, given free yarn, they're happy to create "softies" for a cause.
"We supply all the yarn," Sullivan said. "We pay for all the shipping. This opens it to a whole new demographic of people who can knit for charity: the elderly, the homebound, people who might be on fixed incomes and can't afford to buy a lot of yarn."
Sullivan's daughter, Erica Koenig of Pueblo, talked about Warm the World last week at a regular gathering of knitters at Colorado Fiber Arts, 121 Broadway Ave.
Koenig said her mother was visiting Denver and saw all the homeless people – including the children – outside Samaritan House. That old familiar feeling of "What can I do to help?" overcame her. The answer? Warm, handmade garments. Samaritan House joined the list of Warm the World recipients.
Koenig said she handed out blankets made for the victims of Hurricane Katrina, "and it was one of the most rewarding things I've ever done."
She showed brightly patterned socks that will go to Pine Ridge Indian reservation, a frilly scarf like the ones sent to Eastern European orphanages, and baby blankets and quilts destined for Fort Carson. And she said her mother's goal for 2007 is 1,500 blankets for the babies of soldiers deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia.
"It was really pretty much a small-time thing and now it's global," Koenig said.
Sisters DeAnne Atteberry of Pueblo and Chris Smith of Pueblo West have been crocheting for Warm the World for two years. They saw a newspaper article about the project, started going to meetings in Canon City and contacted several Pueblo agencies to see if they wanted knitted and crocheted goods.
"Just hearing the stories – especially from (Sangre de Cristo) Hospice – or seeing the faces of the volunteer coordinators when you deliver them or reading the thank-you notes Nan receives; the response just makes you want to keep doing for other people," Atteberry said.
Smith said she continues to crochet for the project because she likes helping other people. She keeps track of the items she and her sister make, and the current tally is 150 hats, 25 to 30 blankets and 15 scarves.
Emily Barnard, owner of Colorado Fiber Arts, has volunteered her store as a drop-off point for donated yarn and for knitted and crocheted garments made for the project. And she envisions a rock-a-thon featuring knitters and crocheters in rocking chairs, making blankets and garments for Warm the World and giving the pledge money they raise to a local charity.
"We're so lucky to have her (Sullivan) so close," Barnard said. "She's so into it and helps so many people."
Knitters and crocheters can use any pattern they like and there are no size requirements, Sullivan said. Any type of yarn – acrylic, blends, wool, cotton – can be donated to the project. Cash donations also are welcome, which will be used to purchase yarn and pay shipping costs. Wal-Mart has contributed to Warm the World, Sullivan said.
More information, including how to participate, is available at Sullivan's Web site, www.warmtheworld.org.
Among the agencies the project supports are: A Caring Pregnancy Center; Canon City Pregnancy Center; Sangre de Cristo Hospice; Catholic Charities, Diocese of Pueblo; Fremont County Adult Services; Loaves and Fishes Ministries, Fremont County; Pine Ridge reservation; Samaritan House; and Xtreme Response, which aids families in Africa.

Let's have a location check. OCF Part I covers the primary rites: prayers at death, vigil and related rites, funeral liturgy, and committal. Part II concludes with OCF 342–the last post in this series that covered rites and adaptations for funerals of children and infants.
343. Part III, "Texts of Sacred Scripture," contains the Scriptural readings and psalms for the celebrations of the funeral. It is divided into four sections: "Funerals for Adults", "Funerals for Baptized Children", "Funerals for Children Who Died before Baptism", "Antiphons and Psalms".
344. As a general rule, all corresponding texts from sacred Scripture to the funeral rites are interchangeable. In consultation with the family and close friends, the minister chooses the texts that most closely reflect the particular circumstances and the needs of the mourners.
I could list all the several dozen options for funeral readings, but I don't know that that would be particularly productive. OCF 345 and 346 note that during the Easter season, New Testament readings from Acts and Revelation are used instead of Old Testament passages. Occasionally, that can be a difficult and surprising piece not readily noticed by pastoral ministers, or even most clergy.
I remember a switch of pastors in one parish several years ago, and my funeral planner came to me with a complaint about the new priest's urging that the Easter pattern be followed. "Is this correct?" she asked me. It is, I said, and I explained that the funeral liturgies align as much as they can, with the liturgical year. They knew, for example, that one doesn't sing "alleluia" at a Lenten funeral.
I've also worked with clergy who fielded a request that both readings be Old Testament, or that a psalm be a reading, or even that two Gospel readings be proclaimed. There are many sensitive ways to approach these challenges, all without alienating mourners or offering up a violation of the Liturgy of the Word.
As for the comment boxes, feel free to share a meaningful (for you) reading from Scripture. Share also, if you wish, why.

Oceanport, N.J.
– Edwin Merryman's Jazzy Idea closed from last to first in a thrilling stretch
drive to wear down the Stopshoppingmaria and prove best by three-quarters of a
length in the $60,000 Crank It Up Stakes at Monmouth Park on
Toting co-highweight of 123 pounds, Jazzy
Idea covered the 5 ½ furlongs in 1:01 2/5 on firm turf and returned $7.20, $3
and $2.40. Even-money favorite Stopshoppingmaria completed the $19.80 exacta and
paid $2.40 and $2.40. It was another length-and-three-quarters back to Sensible
Lady, who paid $2.60 to show.
"It worked out very good
for us that there was so much speed," said winning rider Elvis Trujillo, who
notched his fifth win on the card. "I was planning on waiting to the top of the
stretch and come with one run. It worked out perfectly. She flew through the
stretch. The second horse (Stopshoppingmaria) was coming off a long layoff, so
that certainly helped, too."
The stakes win was the second for Jazzy Idea
and her fifth victory in 11 lifetime starts. The 3-year-old Maryland bred filly has
now earned $191,030 her owner and trainer Edwin
"This is wonderful.
Wonderful," said Merryman. "That run she comes with is pretty spectacular. Her
last race in The Very One Stakes at Pimlico was a little too short for her. I
was hoping the extra sixteenth (of a mile) would do the trick and it did."
Live racing continues at
Monmouth on Sunday, June 10 – gates open at 11:30 a.m. and post time is12:45

Earlier this week, Mandriva released Mandriva Linux 2008.0, the latest version of their flagship Linux distribution. Mandriva was so kind as to provide me with a copy of Mandriva Linux 2008.0 PowerPack, the commercial version. Back when it was named Mandrake, it was my first ever Linux distribution (I bought a Linux magazine), so I have always had a special place for Mandriva. Read on for a review.
The first version of Mandrake was a Red Hat derivative - Red Hat 5.1, to be specific. It used KDE 1.0 (KDE 1.0 looked like this), and was released in 1998. It soon gathered a name for itself as a very user friendly distribution, which was in part due to the advent of the drakxtools, a set of tools to configure the various pieces of hardware in a computer.Mandrake Linux 8.1 (Vitamin) was my first experience with Linux, six years ago in 2001 (KDE looked like this by then). I had just bought a new computer, and was one of the earlier adopters of Windows XP. Interested in a bit of adventure, I decided to buy a magazine with a Linux disk attached. It was mostly an act on impulse, but I am quite happy I acted on impulse back then. I had a great time with Mandrake 8.1 - although I do recall a few problems during installation. Strangely, I distinctively recall playing LBreakout for hours on end (with Nelly Furtado's "Whoa! Nelly" in my CD player, by the way, from back when she was still making good music). I've been using Linux ever since. Not Mandrake - Debian and Ubuntu, mostly, with the odd installation of SUSE here and there. Mandrake kind of seemed to lose its focus during the 9.x days, and I simply did not like it anymore. During the 10.x days, things were not getting much better, and by that time (late 2004) Ubuntu started its rise to the top. I adopted Ubuntu (or Kubuntu, depending on my DE mood), and have been using it as 'my' Linux distribution ever since - and overall, I am still quite happy with it. That does not mean I do not try a different distribution every now and then, of course. So, when Mandriva offered me a review copy of their PowerPack, I went for it. I installed Mandriva on my Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop, which has the following specifications:
- Intel Pentium M 1.74Ghz
- 1.5GB of DDR2 RAM
- Ati Radeon x300 with 128MB of dedicated RAM
- Broadcom 4318 wireless chip (the revision from hell)

There's a few things here.TheDhamma wrote:For those of you who believe in the supremacy of having a teacher, what would you do in the following situation:
You follow Theravada, from the Mahavihara classical position or just Theravada, if you prefer that term by itself, and your teacher tells you not to pay attention to the Abhidhamma. The teacher tells you jhanas are unnecessary and not important. The teacher tells you reading and study is also not important, you just need to sit and follow your breath and do no other practice. And you are not a beginner and know that there are other practices and doctrines of Theravada which could help your practice. What do you do?
1] You say this is my teacher. If this person is my teacher then I chose them to be my teacher. I must have had a reason and that will factor in to what I do in this situation.
2] If my teacher says X is unnecessary and I think X should be part of my practice then I can conclude that it would be fruitless to ask his teacher about X. A teacher is not a boss, they are someone I can ask questions and get guidance. If a teacher isn't into a particular practice then I would not go to him for guidance on that practice. But just because they don't do a particular practice does not mean that I can't.
Now in your hypothetical they have also said that particular practice is unnecessary or shouldn't be done. On this point I would want to know why they feel that way. Now this is a hypothetical so we can only go so far with this... but in my experience when a teacher says this it is because they themselves don't do that practice and therefore feel no one needs to. That is a common, though unfortunate, occurrence. But again, that doesn't have to have any bearing on what I do. If this is a practice I have found to be useful then I would continue with it. Which leads us to...
3] If it was a practice I haven't yet tried but was considering trying, or if it wasn't even something I had heard of due to my own lack of study, then I would just follow my teacher's advice. After all, what difference does it make? If I think my teacher has something worthwhile to teach me, then what is the harm in trying out his preferred practice rather than some other practice? To take your example, there is really no harm in NOT reading Abhidhamma, NOT worrying about jhanas, and just watching the breath. It seems to me that is a good practice that with proper guidance can take one far on the Path.
It depends. Neither would be unreasonable depending on where you're at in your practice.The above is a hypothetical example, but not unrealistic and I have seen some teachers take such a position. Do you just ignore those teachings? Find another teacher?
Firstly, following the breath is a good practice. I would not so quickly call a teacher who teaches in this way a "bad teacher". Secondly, one could follow a bad teacher and one could follow a bad self. At least a teacher is more likely to have the support of his teachers and fellows in the holy life. All you've got is you.Otherwise, you might just blindly follow a bad teacher and yes, there are some out there.

Katie Holmes: I Loved Notre Dame Academy!
Katie Holmes heads to the Gerald Schoenfeld theater in New York City to perform in the Broadway play All My Sons. (Leonardo DiCaprio reportedly watched that performance. The night before, Katie wore a fun pair of lined stockings!)
The 29-year-old actress reminiscenced to NYT about attending Notre Dame Academy in Toledo, Ohio. She shared, "I went to an all girls academy, which I loved because we wore uniforms and really supported each other. We had a lunch table that was meant for six girls and we stuffed about 25 around the table. We all helped each other learn physics and calculus and all those subjects that frankly we didn't think was necessary at the time. But we got each other through it while looking at YM magazine and Seventeen and making sure our priorities were in order."

Polka Dot Wedding Dress
Added Mar 6, 2014
San Francisco, C...
My civil ceremony was this past Monday 3~3~14!!! Since sewing is my passion (besides my two kids & now husband!!) I knew sewing my wedding dress was the only way to go!
Also, I truly hate trying to make my body fit department store sizing!
I drafted the bust from a 80's inspired Butterick pattern I have had since high school and the skirt was drafted as a circle skirt. The dress is fully lined.
The over "shirt" was based off of a pictured I pinned that lead to this link:
To be honest the only thing i used from the pin was the image. I felt as good as the tutorial is it needs to be cleaned up just a little bit.
The basic idea of the shawl/over shirt is a square , anf in the middle of that square you create a neck line of your choosing, then add a bias strip to the front to be tied first and a wider strip in the back to be tied forward.
Material Notes
Satin, shear polka dots with a light stretch, under lining and tulle to add volume.

DrkFusion needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 69 designs submitted by 38 freelance designers.
A logo designed for PS3Lounge.com. MUST BE .ai files. And must work in both large and small format print (ex: huge banners, business cards, flyers).
Desired Color Scheme:
black, general dark colours (something to rival the actual sony ps logo)
Accepted File Formats:
Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
The logo must be very slick, very solid and cut. Monochromatic is preferred but I am open to ideas. THE LOGO ITSELF MUST RIVAL THE ACTUAL SONY PLAYSATION LOGO.
I don't really want individuals to use the Playstaion Logo that is out there to make my logo, BUT a variation with it would be cool to see.
I want the logo to be done in ILLUSTRATOR (and in vector). I need the original .ai files, and all base files you used to create the logo.

Darwin prosecutors have dropped all child pornography charges against a Jakarta-based Australian Air Force attache who was due to face trial this week.
Paul Vincent Hunt was charged with 12 counts of producing, and two counts of possessing, child pornography material.
A suppression order prevents prosecutors revealing why the charges were dropped on Thursday, only days before the scheduled Monday trial date.
The Crown was relying on the evidence of Australian Federal Police agents who searched Hunt's home in Jakarta without a warrant, knowing he was in Darwin, before sending agents to question and search him in Darwin, without a warrant or a proper caution.
His lawyers sought to throw out evidence - hundreds of photos - found on an external hard drive in Jakarta and on a USB drive in Darwin, saying there would have been no evidence of criminal conduct without "significant impropriety on the part of the investigating police".
Police first became aware of child exploitation material (CEM) being downloaded to an IP address registered to Hunt's home in Canberra.
An internal AFP memorandum noted: "Intelligence at this time is strictly limited to the downloading of images however it should be noted that Indonesia is a destination of preference for offenders travelling to commit sex offences against children. Suspects identified as accessing CEM have been known to extend their access and possession of CEM to contact offending."
And so agents went to Hunt's home in Jakarta at 6am on July 31, 2012 to speak to his wife, telling her no one in the family was under suspicion.
As they searched the property she called her husband to tell him he was the subject of a "coordinated sting", at which point he "almost immediately copied selected images from his laptop to the thumb drive and later reset his laptop's operating system to delete all remaining data", police alleged.
Justice Graham Hiley ruled on June 2 that the AFP did not need to notify Indonesian authorities about the search.
"(It) was timed to coincide with his presence in Australia and a desire that he not return to Indonesia for fear of causing political embarrassment or other fallout," Justice Hiley said.
But the Jakarta search was improperly carried out and Hunt's wife was misled, he ruled.
"To deliberately convey misleading information to a person knowing that she may not consent to a search if she were told important and relevant facts, in particular that her husband was a suspect... was improper," he said.
Furthermore, Hunt was not properly notified of his rights when approached by agents in Darwin, and his questioning was not recorded due to a police "oversight".
This was an "impermissible interference with his privacy", Justice Hiley ruled.
"By the time the Darwin search was carried out the investigating officers were armed with knowledge of highly relevant material implicating the applicant, and must have known that they should take extreme care before approaching him to ensure that he was not deprived of his fundamental rights, in particular his right to silence."
Justice Hiley allowed the evidence obtained during the Jakarta search, but would not admit the evidence obtained during the Darwin search.
This ruling was made 10 days before all the charges against Hunt were dropped.

Kilrush in County Clare has been selected as the host location for the 2013 National Famine Commemoration, Clare Local Authorities have announced.
The National Famine Commemoration Committee, led by Jimmy Deenihan T.D., Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht, has informed Kilrush Town Council and Clare County Council that the town will host the main commemoration event on National Famine Commemoration Day.
The annual observance in Ireland commemorating the Great Famine has been organized officially by the Government since 2009. The main commemoration event is held in a different place each year, rotating among the four provinces of Ireland. The 2012 National Famine Commemoration took place in Drogheda, Co Louth.
Events at the main venue usually include lectures, arts events, and visits to places connected to the Famine. Local events also take place countrywide while a minute's silence is encouraged for schools and workplaces.
The Mayor of Clare Cllr. Pat Daly and Mayor of Kilrush Cllr. Mairead O'Brien both welcomed the announcement, adding that Kilrush is an appropriate host location considering the significant impact of the Great Famine on the town and surrounding area.
Mayor O'Brien noted: "Kilrush has historically been very closely linked with and was greatly affected by the Great Irish Famine in the mid 19th century. It is fantastic to see this link being recognized nationally with Kilrush being selected as the host town for the 2013 National Famine Commemoration."
According to John Corry, Kilrush Town Clerk: "It is a huge honor for the town to host this event in the year of the Gathering and I hope that many visitors from near and far will visit our great town during this Commemoration. I wish to thank everyone involved in preparing a very comprehensive submission and look forward to showcasing Kilrush both nationally and internationally for this event."
Kilrush is recognized nationally as one of the locations worst affected by starvation, disease and emigration between 1845 and 1852. The famine years brought much hardship to Kilrush.
Evictions, fever and cholera reduced the population of south-west Clare to such an extent that it has never again attained its pre-famine numbers. The Kilrush workhouse witnessed terrible deprivation and deaths. During and after the famine, the Vandeleur name became synonymous with the worst of landlord evictions, with over 20,000 evicted in the Kilrush area.
Illustrations from Kilrush at the time of the famine featured in the Illustrated London News and these illustrations are the best recognised images of the famine conditions in Ireland. Images of the famine from Moveen were depicted and the ruins of this famine village are visible today. Other strong attributes from the area include the association with Captain Kennedy, Vandeleur Estate, the famine plot and memorial garden at Old Shanakyle cemetery, the Paupers' Quay, among many other sites and stories.
Famine author and Clare-based Historian Ciarán Ó Murchadha, who supported Kilrush's bid to host the event, said: "Having spent over 20 years researching, writing and teaching, in Ireland, Britain and the United States, about the Famine at local and national level, I can state without any fear of contradiction that although all of Clare suffered grievously, no part of the county endured as much as Kilrush town and Kilrush union, and for such a prolonged period. That being the case, I am delighted to learn that Kilrush will host the next National Famine Commemoration event."

Boston, Mass. -- EPA and Albee Realty Trust have resolved a penalty action for discharges of silt-laden storm water associated with development of a seven lot residential subdivision in Uxbridge, Mass., in violation of the federal Clean Water Act.
Albee discharged stormwater from the construction site without a permit for several years. Albee also failed to install and maintain controls sufficient to minimize discharge of pollutants to the stream. On June 12, 2012, EPA issued a complaint against the Albee Realty Trust and its trustees seeking penalties as a result of these violations.
Because they are operators of a site disturbing more than one acre, Albee was required to apply for either an individual permit or coverage under a General Permit for "Storm Water Discharges from Construction Activities." The permit requires the use of "best management practices" to prevent erosion and sedimentation of waterways that can result from construction activities. Under the agreement, Albee will pay a penalty of $24,000.
Rainwater running off construction sites can carry sediments, oil and other pollutants which contaminate nearby streams, ponds and rivers. Erosion from a one-acre construction site could discharge as much as 20 to 150 tons of sediment in one year if not properly managed. Sediments reduce the storage capacity of drains and waterways, causing flooding and adversely affecting water quality and fish habitat. Sediments and chemicals can also contribute to fish die-offs, toxic algae blooms, contaminated shellfish beds and closed swimming beaches.
To assist developers and builders into coming into compliance, EPA has developed written materials, web sites, workshops, and other products to help those involved in construction projects understand how to comply with storm water laws.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Salisbury University seniors Nick Aloi and Katie McMahon were named National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) All-Americans, the organization announced recently.
A slot on the Salisbury football team, Aloi missed all but one game in 2012 to injury. The Columbia, Md., native has appeared in 21 career games, averaging an impressive eight yards per carry.
"Nick's dedication toward improvements is amongst the best we have seen here at Salisbury," said Matt Nein, Strength and Conditioning Coordinator at SU, who selected Aloi. "Day in and day out, he commits to getting better. Over the course of his time within the football program, Nick does everything with great effort and enthusiasm. Although sustaining a season-ending injury, Nick was back in the weight room preparing any way possible for the 2013 season. You've got to love that kind of attitude as a coach."
McMahon was a three-year letterwinner in women's soccer and also played a season of field hockey. She appeared in 45 career soccer matches, registering two goals and one assist for five points. A Delmar, Md., native, McMahon scored a goal and added an assist in eight field hockey games in the fall.
"Katie has been an absolute joy to work with over the past four years," Nein said. "Prior to joining the field hockey team in 2012, Katie was a three-year member of the women's soccer program. Having not played field hockey since high school and competing for a spot on a nationally ranked team, she had a lot to prove. With her attitude and work ethic, we knew she would not leave anything on the table. From being a leader in the weight room during the spring semester to training at the facility in the summer, Katie's determination would shine. She is a true competitor in every sense."
The NSCA named 229 collegiate and scholastic student-athletes from 98 institutions with the honor. The NSCA All-American program is in its 34th year.

This is mainly about that game last night against the Thunder. BTW, huge shot for Iguodala, that's what he does. He's a killer. But he even admitted after the game that they kind of let the game slip. Their defense wasn't as tight, they weren't as aggressive, etc.. I feel the Dubs should have won by at least 8, because if Iggy doesn't hit that shot, that game turns into a nightmare. It almost reminded me of when they lost to the Lakers last year and were up 16. Or when they were up 16 to the Spurs and lost in game 1.
Granted, OKC can score in bunches. But keep in mind this was a back to back for them and in the 4th quarter I'm sure their intensity outmatched ours.
Warriors still need to learn to not let games slip away

Using Text in Teaching
Fair Use guidelines determine how much of a work you can use in a course without obtaining copyright permissions. For books, articles, and other textual materials, fair use regulations apply whether you are using the material in a face-to-face class, on course reserves or within the course management system.
- If the library subscribes to a journal in electronic format, you can link to any articles in the journal.
- If the library only subscribes to a journal in print, the library's Course Reserves group will scan a maximum of one issue of a journal and up to one chapter of a book. It is the responsibility of the instructor to conduct a fair use analysis or obtain copyright permissions for any materials being put on course reserves or in the course management system.
The University of Maryland University College has a useful outline of how fair use applies to copying text for classroom use: http://www.umuc.edu/library/copy.shtml#copy. "See What Can Be Copied," "What Should Be Avoided" and "When is Permission Required."
If you want to include more articles, book chapters, or other text than is allowed within fair use, Academic Publishing at the USU Bookstore can create a course packet for your class. Academic Publishing obtains copyright clearance for your course packs, and the cost of the course packs charged to your students is no more than the cost of the copyright fees the bookstore obtained for the course pack. For distance education and regional campuses, students can have course packs mailed to them. For more information, contact Academic Publishing at 435-797-2742 or firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com 435-797-2742.

You might not believe who Browns defensive coordinator Ray Horton says is the MVP of his No. 5-ranked defense. Horton explains.
The Browns have their best defense of the expansion era.
At least, they have never been ranked this high — No. 5 in yards allowed — this late in a season since 1999.
What is making the unit tick?
In a stunner today, defensive coordinator Ray Horton said safety Tashaun Gipson is "the MVP" of the unit.
"He's done a remarkable job," Horton said after today's practice for Sunday's game at Cincinnati.
Gipson was undrafted out of Wyoming last year. His playing time as a rookie increased because of injuries, but he wasn't even sure he would make this year's team in August.
Instead, he has filled a void at free safety.
What makes him the MVP?
"He's a former corner whose playing time was limited last year," Horton said. "He's in a position that requires a ton of smarts. You can never be wrong.
"He's a much better tackler than I envisioned. He's tough. He's protected some guys who may have been out of position.
"He's just been a fantastic player."
Undrafted? That puts Gipson on the other end of the spectrum from former Round 1 picks Joe Haden, Phil Taylor and Barkevious Mingo, and former Round 2 picks D'Qwell Jackson, T.J. Ward, Jabaal Sheard and Paul Kruger (drafted by Baltimore).
Horton had nice things to say about others on his defense, including members of a secondary that is playing "as well as any group in the league," according to Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis.
Gipson, though, is playing better than Horton dreamed.
"It's a comfort," Horton said, "because I know he's going to be in the right place, doing the right thing."

Lavender Cucumber Sage is a great summer fragrance (and for those of us that need a reminder of those warm summer months on a cold winter day). Top notes of Cucumber and Sage with a pleasant hint of Lavender.
These melts are made from USA grown pure soy wax that has botanicals added to make them a little firmer. Prefer no dye just request that it be left out. The melts weigh 6 ounces total and come in a neat breakaway container. If you tire of the scent simply pour it back in and let it harden. Close the lid and store for future use. Once you use up the tarts the container is great to store post ear rings, beads (for you jewelry makers that want to take your craft with you or set them up for certain necklaces or bracelets), etc.
Melts are perfect for Secret Pals, gift baskets, stocking stuffers, or that hard to buy coworker. The scent is so strong that it can sit opened in your desk drawer, night stand or linen closet to freshen up.
Melts are available in any of my scents and any number. I can fit up to 4 packs in a small flat rate box for $6.80

To get the best burn time on any candle burn no longer than 3-4 hours.

Do not leave burning candles unattended. Do not leave burning candles or the glass containers within a childs or pets reach.
Do not use the lid to estinguish the flame.

I do take care in chosing the ingredients that I use and post them in product information. The only exception is the votives that have botanicals added at the manufacturers to give a firmness of the product. If you have any allergies to botanicals please use this product with care. So far no one has had a reaction but if you do you do have an allergic reaction to any products (mine or someone elses) stop using the product and seek medical attention. I, nor this business, are responsible for any costs accrued by you.

The Ceredo District High School building...is the home of the first rural high school ever established in this county. Since the founding of this school at Buffalo, other Junior High Schools have been established at Westmoreland, Fort Gay, and Wayne.
The Buffalo school building was built by the board of education after a hard local fight. The first principal was a professor from Ohio who resigned at the end of the first month. Prof. T. B. McClure was later high school principal and J. Floyd Harrison principal of the grades and assistant high school teacher. The following year Bertha Plymale was principal with Mr. Harrison again principal of the grades and assistant in high school work. During the next two years L. E. Cox served as principal with J. F. Hussell as assistant. This year the faculty is made up of G. W. Hypes, principal, J. F. Hussell and Miss Pansey Staley.
The school has grown from a third class to a second class high school. In the school equipment is included a barn, for the benefit of students who ride, a baseball field, a basket-ball court, tennis court, garden, etc. The school is well attended and popular with students living within a radius of several miles of Buffalo. Incidentally, it might be added that this school supports a stong Parent Teacher Association.
With the death of Mrs. Eliza Ann Clark, who died. . . on Lick Creek a few days ago, is the passing of one the most remarkable women in Wayne County on account of the fact that she is possibly survived by more descendants than any other person who has ever lived in the county. Before she died, she was the oldest representative of five living generations.
Mrs. Clark is the mother of 11 children, 4 living; 101 grandchildren, 82 living; 313 great- grandchildren, 255 living; and 44 great-great grandchildren, 40 living. That is a total of 469 descendants, 381 of whom are living.
At the time of her death, Mrs. Clark was 94 years old, but despite her advanced age, she was active almost until the last. She read small print and did intricate sewing without the benefit of eyeglasses and was able to walk several miles a day to visit relatives to within a few days of her death.
Mrs. Clark, who is the widow of David Clark, was born in . . .Virginia. She was a member of the United Baptist Church for over 40 years. Her descendants are found in every section of Wayne County.
A concrete example of just what progressive poultry farming is may be seen in the following report of Mrs. Victoria Rigg, wife of Chas. Rigg of Whites Creek, this county, which has been made at the request of County Agent R. T. Gray.
Explanatory to reading the report, it should be said that the egg yield of the hens is not represented as high as it actually was, since dogs and crows are responsible for the loss of dozens of eggs during the year. The report indicates only the exact expenditures and receipts, exclusive of losses of any kind. If there are any others in the county who can produce better reports than this one, Wayne County News will be glad to receive them.
Mrs. Rigg's report, which will be read with interest by hundreds of folks in this county, is a complete record of her flock for the entire year just closed and reads as follows:
Hens January 1st, 1919. . . . . . 80
Sold November 1st, 1919. . . . . 25
Hens January 1st, 1920. . . . . 63
Av. No. hens during year. . . . . 74
No. eggs laid during year. . 10,611
Av. eggs per hen. . . . . . . . . . . . 141
Highest price received for eggs. .60 cents per . . .(Copy runs out)

Kuwaiti parliament panel approves privatization bill
Parliament's economic and finance committee Sunday, February 11, approved a draft bill that allows the Kuwaiti government to sell state-run services to the private sector, the committee's chairman said. The approval came after the seven-member panel introduced a new clause to safeguard the rights of Kuwaiti employees in privatized services, the main stumbling block for the legislation, Abdel Wahab al-Haroun said.
Kuwaiti employees would retain the right to a five-year contract with the new private owners with full salary and other benefits. The new legislation needs to be approved by the house and endorsed by the cabinet to become law.
More than 93 percent of the 200,000-strong Kuwaiti labor force is employed by the government, which provides high salaries, generous pensions and fewer working hours than the private sector. MPs have been concerned that once public services are privatized, the new owners may hire more experienced foreign workers who would accept much lower pay than Kuwaitis.
The draft bill will facilitate the sale of public services such as electricity, communications, public works and other services worth several billion dollars to local and foreign private investors. Kuwait has already passed legislation to allow foreigners to own stocks on the emirate's bourse, and parliament is debating another draft bill to allow direct foreign investments.
About 90 percent of the emirate's total income comes from oil revenues and the state hopes to energize the private sector, which contributes less than 25 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The privatization bill is considered a key legislation for economic reforms in Kuwait. —(AFP)

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
The Story Changes - "Tidal Wave"
"We shot "Tidal Wave" during an early evening at one of the indoor locations at Camp Woodward in Pennsylvania. Growing up skateboarding, it was really inspiring to hang out at the camp and see all the various skate parks and action sport locations before performing and filming the show that night. We decided on taking a straight-forward approach this time around and have the video focus on us performing the song in a live setting.
There's no crazy CGI'd bells and whistles, haha, just a rock band doing what rock bands do best. Novel idea, right? I've always loved the energy that the two of us have playing off of each other live and I think focusing on that worked really well with the song. It was a lot of fun to film with all the campers helping out on set and made for a night I'll never forget.
This song is off of our newest release 'This Is Your Moment' EP available through all digital music retailers and on vinyl 7" through I Am Shark."

White girl: 'I'm tired of being looked at like prey'
Letter upsets city's Black History Month
(Editor's note: Colin Flaherty has done more reporting than any other journalist on what appears to be a nationwide trend of skyrocketing black-on-white crime, violence and abuse. WND features these reports to counterbalance the virtual blackout by the rest of the media due to their concerns that reporting such incidents would be inflammatory or even racist. WND considers it racist not to report racial abuse solely because of the skin color of the perpetrators or victims.) Videos linked or embedded may contain foul language and violence.
Black History Month in Baltimore is a busy, busy time. Every aspect of black life in this city is remembered and celebrated: Black schools. Black music. Black movies. Black churches. Black literature. Black clothing. Black politicians. Even black trains.
Then Tracey Halvorsen had to go and spoil it all: She wrote an article about crime in Baltimore. How she and her mostly white neighbors live in fear. And no one seems to care. Or worse, lots of people think it is normal. "Baltimore City,You Are Breaking My Heart," is going viral for an on-line magazine called Medium.com. A few quotes:
"I'm tired of being looked at like prey."
"I'm tired of thinking about the horrifying final moments for 51 year old neighbor, Kim Leto, stabbed to death in her own home by two teenagers."
"I'm tired of wondering why city leaders haven't said s*** about recent horrific murders committed by children in supposedly 'safe' neighborhoods."
"I'm tired of living next to a beautiful park that I'm scared to walk into at any time of day, thanks to regular stories of day-time muggings, drug dealing and gang violence."
Much like a similar article last year, "Being White in Philly," Halvorsen's story contained all the requisite apologies for noticing. All the protestations about her black friends. All the denials that she was a racist.
That did not change one fundamental fact: Crime in Baltimore is a black thing. And black on white crime is a secret that is simply not discussed. Other than to excuse it as a product of white racism, that is.
As indictments go, Halvorsen's was pretty mild. She left out the dozens and dozens of examples of black mob violence documented in Baltimore in"White Girl Bleed a Lot: The Return of Racial Violence and How the Media Ignore It."
In 2012, this violence became so bad that Maryland State legislator Pat McDonough asked the Governor to declare a "No-Travel" Zone around the downtown Inner Harbor area. McDonough said he wanted to "prevent the consistent and dangerous attacks upon citizens by roving mobs of black youths."
Yes, he really said that. And more: "St. Patrick's Day witnessed another out-of-control incident involving hundreds of young people in a mob-like posture, fighting among themselves, and attacking innocent tourists and visitors to the harbor area."
Millions around the world watched it on video.
Read "White Girl Bleed a Lot," the documentation of black-on-white terror, including links to videos so you can see it yourself.
McDonough also saw an episode of black mob violence at the Inner Harbor while downtown with his wife.
Over the summer, just a few hours after a rally to protest the verdict in the trial over the killing of Trayvon Martin, a black mob stalked and attacked a restaurant worker on his way home. They put him in the hospital with broken bones all over his face. That's on video too.
At a Baltimore skating rink, black mob violence involving hundreds of people has a been a regular feature of weekend festivities for years. The dozens of examples of black mob violence connected to the rink range from throwing bricks through police car windows to vandalizing the Denny's restaurant next door. The violence includes beating clerks and stealing merchandise from a nearby convenience store, fighting with police, jumping on cars – breaking windows and ruining paint – and much, much more:
Amber Ruth was caught up in one of the periodic spasms of violence where hundreds of "children" walk in the street, stop traffic, destroy property – and worse. Says Ruth to the plucky Patch newspaper:
"I was on my way home on a Friday night around 9:30 p.m. and they shut down Skate Land at Putty Hill because of fighting and those little hoodlums busted out my back window with me sitting in my car when i was stopped at the light in at Rossville blvd & BelAir Rd."
This is a very long list. But last summer it got so long that one of the largest employers in Baltimore, T. Rowe Price, threatened to move its headquarters out of downtown if the violence continued.
T. Rowe Price is still there: But more and more people like Halvorsen are deciding the old world charm, small town feel and big city amenities are just not worth it anymore. Not if you have to worry about violence every day, everywhere you go. Not if friends have to borrow your pit bull for a stroll through the neighborhood.
Some of the black mob crime is aided by city officials. Last year, 13 guards were indicted for their role in allowing inmates who were members of the Black Guerrilla Family gang to take over day to day operations of the Baltimore City Detention Center. The guards, many of whom were women, allegedly "had become romantically involved with certain gang members – [and] smuggled drugs, cellphones, and other illicit material into the jail for the gang's benefit," said Slate.
The inmates are running the asylum. And sometimes have they help from the local media: The Baltimore Sun has been a leader in ignoring, condoning and denying the black mob violence and black on white crime. It led the effort to condemn Pat McDonough for his comments about violent black mobs. When it does report racial violence, it is only to dismiss it. Or claim it is some kind of Baltimore holiday tradition, dating back to at least 1995.
But most of these stories are not about the violence, but how black leaders object to people identifying the race of the people responsible.
Racial violence came home to the Baltimore Sun a few weeks ago. One of its editors, John Fogg, was attacked when he was getting out of his car and heading for his house just a few blocks from Halvorsen's. His skull is fractured in six places. He lost 10 teeth. The black suspect, in custody, was recently arrested for two other assaults, but charges were dropped before the case came to trial.
That might have been Halvorsen's tipping point: Like the "Being White in Philly" article, Halvorsen's story is provoking what one observer called "one big group therapy dialogue" – with every major media site in the city running stories on it.
Critics of the article are breaking down along racial lines: Some of the white commentators said race had nothing to do with crime in Baltimore. It's poverty they said more from hope than experience. Over at the Baltimore City Paper the "professional writers" took turns contemplating whether Halvorsen was a racist or just a bad writer.
Halvorsen said race had nothing to do with the violence.
The black commentators disagreed: They said crime had everything to with race and Halvorsen's racism: They talked about the "white privilege" that caused Halvorsen to notice the violence and somehow feel as if she were entitled to live in a safe neighborhood.
The white racism that caused the black people to commit the crimes and violence.
"I think the problem here is that many white and/or upper/middle-class residents of Baltimore – and, of course, the Maryland suburbanites who work or play in Baltimore – show no sense of the structural problems plaguing the city and the roots of violence," said Shereen at a local blog that focuses on journalism and music operate by NPR reporter Lawrence Lanahan.
Lanahan says it's time to give some tough love to the white people in Baltimore who notice – and do not like – crime.
"It's tough to talk about white privilege in the face of crimes like the ones Halvorsen cites, with innocent victims killed and badly injured and stunned families left to grieve," Lanahan said. "There's also a lot that goes on, from individual decisions to local, state, and federal policy, that ensures – whether intentionally or not – that all the social ills stay where they 'belong' in the neighborhoods that people like Halvorsen and, frankly, I won't live in."
White neighborhoods "get more resources" than black neighborhoods, Lanahan said. That disparity somehow causes violence, he said.
The Medium news site published a push-back a few days later: "What breaks my heart is when someone says they are tired of looking at black youth in the city as potential predators, as if they are the ones at fault," said Tim Barnett. "What breaks my heart is when someone acknowledges the sadness of the death of a white woman, but does not acknowledge the sadness of the bleak lives of 2 young black men."
Two young black men have been arrested in the recent home invasion and murder of Kim Leto, also close to Halvorsen's home.
So far the Mayor of Baltimore, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, has not made comments similar to what the mayor of Philadelphia said about "Being White in Philly." He said it was "despicable."
But her point of view on crime is clear: Last year, when the governor of Maryland suggested that Baltimore should put more cops on the street to fight a spike in visible and violent crime, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake was having none of that.
"Returning to the days of mass arrests for any and every minor offense might be a good talking point but it has been proven to be a far less effective strategy for actually reducing crime," Rawlings-Blake said in a statement to the Baltimore Sun.
During her tenure, arrests have gone down to 50,000 a year, compared to 100,000 in 2005.
One of the reasons police do not arrest more black people in the Baltimore area is because black juries are often reluctant convict black defendants. This observation of racial jury tampering comes from academic and legal studies such as "Jury Nullification, Race, and The Wire." And from David Simon, creator of the Baltimore crime drama, The Wire, a veteran of 13 years on the cop beat for the Baltimore Sun.
Simon is the Hollywood uber-liberal who recently made a few headlines in the wake of the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin: "The season on African-Americans now runs year round," he declared. "If I were a person of color in Florida, I would pick up a brick and start walking toward that courthouse in Sanford."
In his recent book, "Homicide, A Year on the Killing Streets," Simon talks about racial jury nullification with unusual candor:
"As with every other part of the criminal justice machine, racial issues permeate the jury system in Baltimore," Simon said. "Baltimore prosecutors take almost every case into court with the knowledge that the crime will be seen through the lens of the black community's historical suspicion of a white-controlled police department and court system."
The effect of race on the judicial system is freely acknowledged by prosecutors and defense attorneys-black and white alike-although the issue is rarely raised directly in court.
Race is instead a tacit presence that accompanies almost every panel of 12 into a Baltimore jury room. Once, in a rare display, a black defense attorney actually pointed to her own forearm while giving closing arguments to an all-black panel: "Brothers and sisters," she said, as two white detectives went out of their minds in the back row of the gallery, "I think we all know what this case is about."
Black mobs routinely terrorize cities across the country, but the media and government are silent. Read the detailed account of rampant racial crime in "White Girl Bleed A Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It."

Use of a Test That Evaluates How the Body Handles Insulin and Glucose

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to find out if testosterone gel affects how the body handles insulin and glucose.
Specific anti-HIV treatments may increase a patient's risk of certain diseases by causing metabolic problems such as reduced sensitivity to insulin. This substudy will examine how testosterone affects insulin sensitivity. If testosterone increases insulin sensitivity in the patients, then giving testosterone to HIV-infected patients may allow the continuation of anti-HIV treatments without increasing the patients' risk of disease. The test used to determine insulin sensitivity will be a modified frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test (FSIVGTT), which can accurately measure insulin sensitivity.
|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections
Assessment of insulin sensitivity is an important objective of this substudy. Extrapolation from earlier studies suggests that insulin resistance will be associated with low testosterone levels at baseline in HIV-infected men with visceral obesity and that physiologic testosterone replacement in these individuals is likely to increase insulin sensitivity. However, direct assessment of insulin sensitivity under carefully controlled conditions is crucial to understanding the full metabolic impact of physiologic testosterone replacement in the context of A5079. The FSIVGTT, using the Bergman minimal model, has become a widely used method for the assessment of insulin sensitivity in epidemiological and intervention studies. Based on these considerations, the modified FSIVGTT was chosen as the optimal modality to assess insulin sensitivity in A5112s.
This study is a substudy of A5079. Patients enrolled in A5079 are eligible for this substudy but receive no study treatment other than that which they receive on A5079. Insulin sensitivity is measured by FSIVGTT performed at entry and at Weeks 24 and 48. In the modified FSIVGTT, 15 serial blood specimens for glucose are drawn over a 245-minute interval. The FSIVGTT assesses whether patients given testosterone supplements have more sensitivity to insulin than patients given a placebo.

Brooke Lane raised the pistol in front of her, looked straight down the sights and fired.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
In the wide-open space of her family farm in northeastern Colorado, the sound of the gunshots didn't linger.
The 17-year-old strode over to the target she had affixed to bales of hay stacked 10 feet high to check her work. Bull's-eye.
"Firearms are a huge part of my life," Brooke said. "I've grown up shooting, I look forward to hunting every year… and a [big part] of hunting is going out target shooting and making sure that I'm sighted in … It's a pretty major aspect in what I spend my time doing. "
The near-perfect shots didn't surprise her; they're more of a testament that she's still on top of her game. The high school senior has been shooting since she was 8, winning competitions with guns and bows.
"At school a lot of my friends are exposed to guns," she said. "On a weekly basis we discuss doing something, whether we all want to go shooting that weekend, or someone did, or it's hunting season."
Her family has long been a member of the National Rifle Association and attends banquets for Friends of the NRA, she said.
Brooke and her family's positive view of firearms is shared by a large number of people outside America's cities. In fact, where people live is a pretty good predictor of their feelings about guns. A Gallup poll taken in 2011 found that 65 percent of people living in rural areas own guns; that figure drops to 42 percent if only handguns are taken into consideration.
Only 21 percent of people living in large cities own guns, while the overall ownership rate is four out of every 10 Americans, according to the same poll.
But Brooke's parents weren't trying to make a political point when they enrolled her in a hunter's safety class when she was in elementary school. She's killed several large game animals during the last nine years, and some of her prizes are mounted inside her home.
Brooke's trophies don't all come with antlers, though.
She's also an honor student at Weld Central High School near Keenesburg, Colo., a small town about 30 miles northeast of Denver, and slated to be the class valedictorian in the spring. She works four days a week at the Pepper Pod, a family eatery in nearby Hudson, Colo.
As a member of her local 4-H chapter, a science- and agriculture-based club, she has shown prize-winning pigs at various fairs around Colorado and Kansas. Brooke also heads her school's Future Farmers of America chapter.
In ticking off her extracurricular activities, her face lights up.
"Oh! And I'm a rodeo queen! I rodeo and I'm a rodeo queen!"
Last summer, Brooke was crowned the 2013 Queen of the Southeast Weld County Fair and Rodeo. The year before she was titled the Lady in Waiting.
"I went through an interview process, and they tested me on my basic riding skills," she said, smiling. "I represent my community and my fair and rodeo as a rodeo queen, and lots of little kids look up to me."
A scrapbook has pictures of Brooke with fancy hair and makeup, wearing oversized, decorative chaps and a cowboy hat. It hardly looks like the girl with the ponytail who was shooting a pistol outside just a few minutes before.
"I definitely grew up as a tomboy," Brooke said. "My dad kind of got the best of both worlds because I can definitely be a girly-girl and like to dress up, but my dad got to do all the things that you would [normally] expect with a boy, like go shooting and go hunting."
And living on the farm with her single father has taught her the responsibilities of caring for the family's livestock — twice a day she feeds and looks after the numerous animals, including several horses, two goats, a pig and two piglets, three dogs and a barn kitten that recently adopted the family.
Inside her father's home, various animals are mounted on the walls — trophies earned by Brooke and her dad — while hunting equipment cluttered the front entryway and materials to make fly fishing ties rest on the table.
For this rural farmer's daughter, guns are an inherent part of who she is, and she sees defending her Second Amendment rights as vitally important.
Last year, Brooke was one of 44 students from across the country selected to attend an all-expenses paid trip to Washington, D.C., hosted by the NRA for its Youth Education Summit.
She was chosen after writing an essay on the Second Amendment, taking a critical eye to both sides of the gun control debate. Brooke was shocked her high school civics textbook included only two sentences about the right to bear arms, while devoting paragraphs to the other items in the Bill of Rights.
Brooke's group toured the NRA headquarters, shot guns on their range and later visited the monuments in the nation's capital. The students also participated in organized debates about guns and gun rights.
"I researched both sides, and understand there are arguments to the other side," Brooke said.
But she knows which side she's on.
