30 job types/classes for PCs in the Cosmic Era
Moonlight shines down on the tranquil scene of a slumbering inn along one of the many roads that cross the land. Trees sway gently in the night air, and the stars twinkle brightly. All is quiet as the PCs snore away, a fine tendril of smoke curlsrnunder their door. The tavern is on fire! This is particularly bad news if the PCs own any horses - the screaming they hear is probably from their mounts! Panicky people are rushing about with buckets of water, trying to tame the flames. The fire fighting effort is not very coordinated as everybody is either hungover or still drunk, including the PCs. Hurry!

Q&A with Freshman Outside Hitter Danielle Dahle
Related Links
The numbers definitely tell the story when it comes to the impact freshman outside hitter Danielle Dahle has had for the UC San Diego Women's Volleyball team in 2012. Her 290 kills are 87 more than the next best on the squad, she has a team best 232 digs, is second in service aces with 19 and third with 40 total blocks. The level of production from the 6-foot-1 La Mesa product has been somewhat of a surprise, even to Head Coach Ricci Luyties. "I thought Danielle would be good, but I didn't foresee her being our top outside hitter," says Luyties, a1988 Olympic gold medalist now in his third year at the reins of the UCSD program. "She's really a solid all-around player. I've been impressed with her hitting, particularly the fact that she makes few errors and hits well out of the back row. But the first thing that caught my eye was her ball control. For someone that tall, she passes well and plays excellent defense." Heading into the final third of the regular season with both CCAA Championship and NCAA Playoff berths still possible, Dahle spent time talking about the season-to-date, her transition from high school to college and what it's like playing for Coach Ricci Luyties.
Q-A year ago at this time, what was your expectation as far as where you would be playing collegiate volleyball and what type of role you might be playing?
DAHLE-I committed around this time last year, so I knew I would be coming to UCSD. I knew there would be an opportunity for me to play, but I didn't anticipate being such a big part of our offense.
Q-From your perspective, how much has reality differed from that expectation?
DAHLE-Reality has turned out so much better than I could have imagined. I'm having a great time here.
Q-Was there a time during pre-season training where you felt "I belong here and can have an impact this season?"
DAHLE-Yes. From the beginning, I knew I was at the right school and I knew if I worked hard I could make an impact.
Q-What's the biggest difference between high school/club and collegiate volleyball?
DAHLE-Collegiate volleyball requires so much more time. More hours of practice, video watching, and playing means I have to manage my time better.
Q-What have you enjoyed most about being on the UC San Diego Women's Volleyball team?
DAHLE-I love my team. Whether it's playing in the gym or hanging out outside of volleyball, we always have a great time.
Q-With UCSD's fall quarter starting later than most other schools, was there a big adjustment when classes did start in late September?
DAHLE-Yes, I found myself with no free time. I am either at practice, or doing homework. There isn't much time for anything else!
Q-Overall, you're part of a very young team at UCSD. What is the leadership dynamic like and as a starter, do you feel like you need to contribute in that area?
DAHLE-Though I'm on the court a majority of the time, I don't feel the need to step up and be a leader. I encourage my team, but leave the leadership role to the older girls.
Q-The team is 15-6 overall, second in the CCAA and now ranked 24th nationally. Having been through the conference once now, how do you feel your team compares to the rest of the CCAA?
DAHLE-I think we are only getting better as season progresses. Our conference is very competitive, but we are capable of beating anybody. If we play well, we have a good chance of coming out on top.
Q-Since the start of conference play to today, how much has the team improved and how much more improvement do you think is possible?
DAHLE-I think we have improved greatly. Being a young team, it takes time for all of us to get used to playing together, and for our offense to connect. But we have been doing those things and will continue to see success if and when we work hard.
Q-What was the best piece of advice one of your veteran teammates has given you?
DAHLE-The best advice a teammate has given me is to manage my time well. The last thing I want to do is get behind in school or practice.
Q-As a coach, what, in your mind are Ricci Luyties greatest attributes?
DAHLE-Coach Luyties has so much knowledge. From playing at such a high level, he knows so much about the game and I know I will always get better by asking him about my playing or what I can do to get better. He also has a lot of confidence in all of us. During the game, he stays calm and helps us get out of bad rotations.
Q-How is Coach Luyties different from previous coaches you've played for?
DAHLE-He is very similar to my latest club coach. Both coaches know so much about the game and have similar coaching styles so it was an easy transition for me.
Q-How long have you been playing volleyball? What skill was the most difficult to master?
DAHLE-I have been playing volleyball since my freshman year in high school. The most difficult skill for me is defense; reading what the hitter is doing to guess where the ball is going.
Q-You also played three years of varsity basketball at Grossmont. What kind of game did you have?
DAHLE-I had a great time playing basketball in high school. I grew up playing it, and love the sport so I was glad I could play both sports for as long as possible.
Q-You're from nearby La Mesa. What led you to select UCSD and what are the benefits, if any, of playing close to home?
DAHLE-I grew up here knowing how great of a city La Jolla is. And I love the beach. So to find a school that was in a great city and close to the ocean was a big motivator. Being close to home is so convenient. I get to visit my family a lot and they are able to come watch me play.
Q--If someone were to visit La Mesa, what's the one thing they should see or do?
DAHLE-I would recommend going up to the top of Mount Helix. It has a great view from Mexico to the north county beaches.
Q-You've got 24 hours of free time and can do anything non-sports related. What's on the agenda?
DAHLE-I would go to the beach, and maybe go shopping. I still haven't been to the Birch Aquarium since I've been here, so I would definitely go there! I'd also visit my family.
Q-What can't you get through the day without?
DAHLE-Coffee. I have a serious caffeine addiction.
Q-When the NCAA Division II Volleyball Regionals start Nov. 29, will UCSD be in the field? Why?DAHLE-Yes! We have worked hard all season and are getting better every day. At the end of this season, we should see some of our best playing.

What is a Generic Drug?
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, how it is taken, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name and works the same way in the body in the same amount of time.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to invent a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at substantial discounts.

Working Together Towards Tomorrow's Renewable Energy Solutions
Today, we face an energy challenge unlike any we've ever seen. While our supply of fossil fuels is depleting with every passing day, our demand for energy continues to rise. In fact, over the next twenty years we will consume nearly 36% more energy than we do now. How will we meet this demand? DuPont believes we must apply science to find more renewable energy solutions while making better use of the energy resources we have today. Partnering with governments, companies and NGOs, we're better utilizing alternative energy resources like wind, solar and biofuels. We're also hard at work creating innovative materials that make buildings more energy efficient and cars lighter in weight to reduce fuel consumption. DuPont science and the worldwide collaboration, together, can meet this daunting challenge and help secure our energy future with renewable energy solutions.
"The development of technology is a place where DuPont can really help with the process. Working with our partners, working with governments around the world, we're looking to accelerate in areas such as photovoltaic materials and biofuels."
-- Tom Connelly
EVP and Chief Innovation Officer
If we all work together, we're confident we can meet the energy challenges ahead.

When the great and powerful Wizard of Oz is confronted for breaking his promises and found to be a mere mortal, he utters one of the most memorable lines in cinema history: "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"
When the great and powerful Wizard of Oz is confronted for breaking his promises and found to be a mere mortal, he utters one of the most memorable lines in cinema history: "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"
With the numerous "scandals" facing the Obama administration, Americans have little doubt that we, like Dorothy and Toto, are certainly no longer in Kansas. The State Department's response to the Benghazi attacks, the IRS's targeting of conservative groups and the Department of Justice spying on Associated Press reporters have piled up at the front door of the White House.
The relative silence of the political left has been deafening on virtually every account, leaving the administration alone to defend itself.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sidestepped attacks that she paid little attention to a cable highlighting security concerns from U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens the day he died in Benghazi. Clinton flatly stated, "1.43 million cables a year come to the State Department. They are all addressed to me." As questions continue to persist about what happened in Benghazi, President Barack Obama angrily stated that "there's no there there" and dismissed further inquiry into the tragedy as a "political circus."
In spite of Associated Press reports that the IRS inspector general found that senior IRS officials were aware of agents targeting conservative political groups as early as 2011, Obama told the press that he "first learned about (the IRS targeting) from the same news reports that most people learned about (it)." The president issued the rather bland condemnation that he "would not tolerate" such behavior.
Attorney General Eric Holder noted that he recused himself from the decision to subpoena the phone records of Associated Press reporters, in part, because he had "frequent contact with the media" and had been interviewed by the FBI on the matter. White House press secretary Jay Carney said the White House had "no knowledge of any attempt by the Justice Department to seek phone records of the AP."
So who exactly is accountable for the actions of the State Department, the IRS and the Department of Justice? The Constitution leaves little doubt. Article II Section 1 pointedly states that the "executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America."
Americans should be outraged that, at every turn, the Obama administration and even the president himself have suggested they were simply not aware of or responsible for the actions of executive branch agents. Obama has gone so far as to attack the IRS, an agency that ultimately answers to him, as if it were a separate branch of government. Plausible deniability may be a useful tool in politics, but the executive branch buck must stop with the president.
Contrast the Obama administration's response to the three incidents mentioned above with Akio Toyoda's testimony before Congress, regarding Toyota's recall of millions of cars. Toyoda was not directly responsible for the design defects nor did he find out about the design defects from the press. Regardless, Toyoda repeatedly apologized and took personal responsibility for Toyota's failures.
Instead of assuming responsibility; clearing the air on Benghazi, promptly dismissing IRS agents involved in political targeting; and assuring Americans that the freedom of the press will not be abridged, the President chose a different message.
In his speech to the graduating class of Ohio State University, Obama called for graduates to reject the "voices that incessantly warn of government as nothing more than some separate, sinister entity ... that tyranny is always lurking just around the corner."
Unfortunately, those voices are gaining credibility and increasing in volume while the president, like the great and powerful Oz, continues to tell the rest of us to pay no attention to the man running our government.

Music by Rodgers, Richard, Book and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
Adapted for the Stage by Tom Briggs, From the Teleplay by Robert L. Freedman
The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance. Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammerstein's CINDERELLA was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium. Its recreation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less successful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true, and so was a second remake in 1997, which starred Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother. As adapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity, the hearts of children and adults alike still soar when the slipper fits. This Enchanted Edition is based on the 1997 teleplay.

Gifts on Behalf of the College
Gifts on behalf of the College to individuals are appropriate in a limited number of circumstances. Carleton College seeks to recognize individuals in an equitable manner with respect to use of College funds while complying with relevant federal guidelines.
Please notify the Office of College Communications at x4309 of births or deaths in an employee's immediate family including details such as the name and address of the employee, name and date of birth for newborn, memorial service or funeral arrangements and date of death. The College Communications staff appreciates your contact since your notification is the only means they have of learning of a birth, adoption, or death of a family member.
College Communications purchases and sends a baby gift to employees who become parents of any child added to the Carleton community through birth or adoption.
A plant or floral arrangement is sent to a memorial service, funeral, or to the home of an employee upon notification of the death of an employee, Carleton retiree, or the death of an employee's spouse, child, or parent. This policy does not cover the loss of an employee's siblings or in-laws.
There are many other occasions, such as promotions or hospital stays, which are suitable for giving flowers or gifts. These occasions occur frequently and the expense to the College of contributing to all of these requests would be large. Therefore, flowers and gifts for events other than those listed in the paragraph above should be considered a personal expense for those in a department who wish to contribute.
Gift Certificates and Gift Cards no matter how small their value are considered income by the IRS, and should be avoided.

I got an e-mail warning that a man, who was believed to be HIV-positive, was recently caught placing blood in the ketchup dispenser at a fast food restaurant. Because of the risk of HIV transmission, the e-mail recommended that only individually wrapped packets of ketchup be used. Is there a risk of contracting HIV from ketchup?
No incidents of ketchup dispensers being contaminated with HIV-infected blood have been reported to CDC. Furthermore, CDC has no reports of HIV infection resulting from eating food, including condiments.
HIV is not an airborne or food-borne virus, and it does not live long outside the body. Even if small amounts of HIV-infected blood were consumed, stomach acid would destroy the virus. Therefore, there is no risk of contracting HIV from eating ketchup.
HIV is most commonly transmitted through specific sexual behaviors (anal, vaginal, or oral sex) or needle sharing with an infected person. An HIV-infected woman can pass the virus to her baby before or during childbirth or after birth through breastfeeding. Although the risk is extremely low in the United Stats, it is also possible to acquire HIV through transfusions of infected blood or blood products.
Did a Texas child die of a heroin overdose after being stuck by a used needle found on a playground?
This story was investigated and found to be a hoax. To become overdosed on a drug from a used needle and syringe, a person would have to have a large amount of the drug injected directly into their body. A needle stick injury such as that mentioned in the story would not lead to a large enough injection to cause a drug overdose. In addition, drug users would leave very little drug material in a discarded syringe after they have injected. If such an incident were to happen, there would likely be concerns about possible blood borne infections, such as human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis B or C. The risk of these infections from an improperly disposed of needle, such as that described in the story, are extremely low.
Can HIV be transmitted through contact with unused feminine (sanitary) pads?
HIV cannot be transmitted through the use of new, unused feminine pads. The human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, is a virus that is passed from one person to another through blood-to-blood and sexual contact with someone who is infected with HIV. In addition, infected pregnant women can pass HIV to their babies during pregnancy or delivery, as well as through breast feeding. Although some people have been concerned that HIV might be transmitted in other ways, such as through air, water, insects, or common objects, no scientific evidence supports this. Even though no one has gotten HIV from touching used feminine pads, used pads should be wrapped and properly disposed of so no one comes in contact with blood.
Is a Weekly World News story that claims CDC has discovered a mutated version of HIV that is transmitted through the air true?
This story is not true. It is unfortunate that such stories, which may frighten the public, are being circulated on the Internet.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS, is spread by sexual contact (anal, vaginal, or oral) or by sharing needles and/or syringes with someone who is infected with HIV.
Babies born to HIV-infected women may become infected before or during birth or through breast feeding.
Many scientific studies have been done to look at all the possible ways that HIV is transmitted. These studies have not shown HIV to be transmitted through air, water, insects, or casual contact.
I have read stories on the Internet about people getting stuck by needles in phone booth coin returns, movie theater seats, gas pump handles, and other places. One story said that CDC reported similar incidents about improperly discarded needles and syringes. Are these stories true?
CDC has received inquiries about a variety of reports or warnings about used needles left by HIV-infected injection drug users in coin return slots of pay phones, the underside of gas pump handles, and on movie theater seats. These reports and warnings have been circulated on the Internet and by e-mail and fax. Some reports have falsely indicated that CDC "confirmed" the presence of HIV in the needles. CDC has not tested such needles nor has CDC confirmed the presence or absence of HIV in any sample related to these rumors. The majority of these reports and warnings appear to have no foundation in fact.
CDC was informed of one incident in Virginia of a needle stick from a small-gauge needle (believed to be an insulin needle) in a coin return slot of a pay phone. The incident was investigated by the local police department. Several days later, after a report of this police action appeared in the local newspaper, a needle was found in a vending machine but did not cause a needle-stick injury.
Discarded needles are sometimes found in the community outside of health care settings. These needles are believed to have been discarded by persons who use insulin or are injection drug users. Occasionally the "public" and certain groups of workers (e.g., sanitation workers or housekeeping staff) may sustain needle-stick injuries involving inappropriately discarded needles. Needle-stick injuries can transfer blood and blood-borne pathogens (e.g., hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV), but the risk of transmission from discarded needles is extremely low.
CDC does not recommend testing discarded needles to assess the presence or absence of infectious agents in the needles. Management of exposed persons should be done on a case-by-case evaluation of (1) the risk of a blood-borne pathogen infection in the source and (2) the nature of the injury. Anyone who is injured from a needle stick in a community setting should contact their physician or go to an emergency room as soon as possible. The health care professional should then report the injury to the local or state health department. CDC is not aware of any cases where HIV has been transmitted by a needle-stick injury outside a health care setting.

Cruise Holidays of Edina
(952) 922-4800
The Southern Caribbean – roughly, the area east and south of Puerto Rico – is dotted with islands that served as colonial outposts and changed hands through the years among the French, the Dutch and the British. The island of Barbados is an exception, as it was associated only with the United Kingdom for more than 300 years until it became independent in 1966.
Today, the island retains a British flavor – motorists drive on the left side of the road, English is spoken everywhere and you can enjoy a high tea in the late afternoon. However, these British traditions play out in a spectacular Caribbean setting of turquoise water, soft sand beaches and lush tropical foliage – quite different from London.
Strictly speaking, Barbados lies just outside the eastern border of the Caribbean Sea, about 100 miles east of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. While not officially a Caribbean island, it's included on many cruise itineraries that also feature islands like Martinique, St. Lucia and Grenada. Barbardos lies outside the usual Atlantic hurricane belt, although some recent storms have affected the island.
Cruise ships dock at the cruise terminal in Bridgetown, where it's an easy walk or cab ride to the capital city's downtown area. To get a sense of local history, visit the Cathedral of Saint Michael, the statue of Lord Nelson in National Heroes Square or the collection of rare English cannons at St. Ann's Garrison.
There are gorgeous beaches along the island's western and southern coasts; some are secluded, others are lined with lively cafes and bars. Crane Beach, with pink sand backed by dunes and cliffs, is one of the prettiest. Some beaches, such as Harrismith Beach and Bottom Bay, have caves to explore. Note that at some beaches, the surf is too rough for swimming, while others are ideal for snorkeling and playing in the water.
The island's north coast isn't known for beaches, but for scenic views of the Atlantic surf pounding against the cliffs. For more great views, visit Farley Hill, a national park with the ruins of a grand manor house and a charming hilltop pagoda.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. drug reviewers on Tuesday said Roche Holding AG's eye drug Lucentis appeared to help diabetic patients with a vision-robbing eye condition, and raised few major issues about the drug's safety.
Staff from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration reviewed Lucentis ahead of an advisory panel of outside experts, which meets on Thursday to vote on whether to recommend approval of an expanded use of the drug, which is administered monthly by injection.
However, the FDA staff asked advisers to consider whether both doses of the drug are equally safe and effective, and should be approved.
Lucentis is already approved for two other eye conditions. Roche is hoping to widen its use to people with diabetic macular edema (DME), the most common cause of moderate vision loss in patients with diabetes. There are currently no FDA-approved drugs for DME, a leading cause of vision loss among people of working age.
DME is currently treated by laser, which stops blood vessel leakage and can slow vision loss but rarely leads to vision improvement.
In clinical trials Lucentis, made by Roche unit Genentech, helped patients see at least 15 extra letters on an eye chart, the primary goal of the study, FDA reviewers said.
People were also generally able to sustain the improvement in vision for at least 24 months — although those who took the 0.5 mg dose lost a bit of vision after the 18th month.
Both doses were generally safe, although there were slightly more deaths at the higher dose — 11 people who received the 0.5 mg dose died during the clinical trials, compared with seven taking the 0.3 mg dose and three receiving a placebo, or sham injection. Each group contained 250 patients.
The FDA will ask advisers to recommend whether both doses of the drug should be approved for use against DME.
DME is a swelling of the retina that occurs in diabetics who suffer from retinopathy — the most common diabetic eye disease that involves damaged blood vessels leaking fluid into the retina. It causes blurred vision and severe vision loss.
About 75,000 new cases of DME are estimated to develop among Americans each year — and Genentech said about 560,000 Americans in total are affected by the disease.
If approved for DME Lucentis will likely compete with a highly promising drug being tested by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc and Roche's own cancer drug Avastin, which works in a similar manner as Lucentis.
Roche shares were down slightly at 167.2 Swiss francs. Shares of Regeneron gained $1.00 to $123.50 in mid-day trading on Nasdaq, where they outperformed the wider Arca Pharmaceuticals Index.
Avastin, which is not approved for eye disease, costs a fraction of the Lucentis price when cut into the small doses needed for eye injection. It has been used extensively off-label in place of Lucentis, hurting sales of the eye drug.
A U.S. government study last year found the two drugs to be similarly effective for macular degeneration treatment.
Genentech has said Avastin increased the risk of stroke and heart attack in cancer trials and noted that diabetics are already at much higher risk for serious heart problems.
Lucentis is already approved to treat wet age-related macular degeneration — the leading cause of blindness among the elderly. It is also approved for macular edema following retinal vein occlusion (RVO), a swelling or thickening of the part of the retina responsible for central vision.

U.S. Congressman Wants Libya Rebels Investigated on "Crimes Against Humanity."
Rep. Jackson: "I think it is absolutely necessary that the United Nations and the International Criminal Court in the Hague investigate what I consider to be crimes against humanity"
Tawergha, City of Blacks, reported depopulated
Representative Jesse Jackson, Jr., reacting to reports in The Wall Street Journal has called for an investigation by the International Criminal Court into the reported killings of Black Libyans in the city of Tawergha.
Rep. Jackson (D-IL-2) also tells The Black Star News he will ask that U.S. assistance for reconstruction and transition to democracy in Libya be conditional. The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that rebels from Misurata had torched the homes that belonged to the predominantly dark-skinned residents of the city of Tawergha, which is now abandoned.
A Journal reporter witnessed some of the torching and wrote that the words "slaves" and "negroes" were scribbled on the walls of the now emptied homes.
The town's entire population of 10,000 is gone.
In an earlier news report The Wall Street Journal reported that rebels from the city of Misurata had declared that Tawergha would be "no more" and that the units conducting the attacks was named "The Brigade for Purging Slaves, black Skin."
Misurata rebels blame residents of Tawergha, which was used by the Libyan army under the government of Muammar al-Quathafi, as staging ground for the siege on Misurata. The Journal has also reported on long-historical feuds, that predate the Libyan civil war, between the "white" residents of Misurata and the predominantly Black ones of Tawergha.
The Wall Street Journal Tuesday also reported that the Transitional National Council's (TNC) "prime minister" Mahmoud Jibril, referring to the reported atrocities in Tawergha by rebels, said: "Regarding Tawergha my own viewpoint is that nobody has the right to interfere in this matter except the people of Misurata."
Rep. Jackson took exception to Jibril's remarks.
"Racism in the form of ethnic cleansing, killing and genocide is wrong anytime, anyplace and against anybody in the world," Rep. Jackson said, today. "And it appears as though the Rebel leader, Mahmoud Jibril, is using the American idea that the South used to protect the institution of slavery - the 10th Amendment in our Constitution - to say, in essence, 'it's a states' right and local control issue.'"
He added, "Well it's not a local issue and it's a moral outrage. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, 'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.' As a senior member of the Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee, I intend to raise this issue with my colleagues and condition any financial support for the reconstruction of Libya and its transition to a democratic society."
"I think it is absolutely necessary that the United Nations and the International Criminal Court in the Hague investigate what I consider to be crimes against humanity," Rep. Jackson said.
A spokesperson for Rep. John Lewis, told The Black Star News that he opposes wars as a matter of principle and had also objected to the U.S. involvement in Libya: "He does not agree with war because of its ramifications, because it leads to these moral compromises," the spokesperson said. "It puts you in a difficult position, where you have to commit the same crimes that you are intending to stop."
A spokesman for the United Nations, Eduardo del Buey, declined to comment on Rep. Jackson's call for an investigation and his characterization of the accounts reported by The Wall Street Journal as amounting to crimes against humanity.
A spokesperson for the U.S. State Department said the U.S. couldn't comment by The Black Star News' publication deadline. The U.S. hasn't yet condemned the reported targeted attacks on Black Libyans.
The Journal reported that the road sign pointing to the city of Tawergha had been defaced and replaced with "New Misurata." Some Tawerghans who had managed to flee to Tripoli were captured and taken to Misurata, the Journal reports.
The Journal is the only major U.S. media outlet that's reported on the plight of Tawergha. The U.K.''s Sunday Telegraph also has an account.

A Wall Street Journal analysis shows that customers of the leading banks with branches inside Wal-Mart outlets are amoung America's hightes payers of bank fees, including fees on overdrafts that customers sometimes take out as substitutes for high-interest "payday" loans. Here are fice things to know about banks in Wal-Mart:
1. Banks are there because that's where the money is:
Banks in Wal-Mart are part of the retailer's push to provide a range of services, including financial, to the vast numbers of people coursing through the stores every day. Wal-Mart dropped its own bid for a bank charter in 2007, but it leases space to other banks. Many customers are low- to moderate-income people, who tend to pay the highest service charges. Some banks in Wal-Mart cater to customers who have had banking troubles elsewhere. Wal-Mart also offers its own financial services, often at low cost, including check cashing and a new money-transfer offering.
2. It's in the fees, not the loans:
The leading banks inside Wal-Marts make most of their money from fees, not from lending. That's unusual. Of more than 6,700 U.S. banks the Journal examined, only 15 had more income from fees than from loan interest. All five leading banks in Wal-Marts are among those 15.
3. Overdrafts can look a lot like loans:
Customers accrue many of those fees in overdraft-protection plans, which banks say are intended to guard consumers from occasional lapses. Overdraft charges are key income for many banks. But some customers at the top bank in Wal-Mart, Woodforest, use overdraft protection as a cheaper form of payday lending. The effective annual percentage rate interest, or APR, can top 300%, but that's still lower than the nearly 400% APR that's typical of a payday loan. Woodforest's chief executive said he doesn't view his bank's overdraft program "to be a payday loan, but we are about helping our customers solve a problem."
4. Regulators and consumer advocates are taking note:
Regulators in 2005 issued guidance that called overdrafts a form of credit but continued 1960s-era rules that deemed charges on them to be convenience fees—allowing overdrafts to remain outside key credit regulations. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been examining bank overdraft programs since 2012 and released a study last year. Its director said overdrafts can provide consumers with needed funds, but "have the capacity to inflict serious economic harm." Timing of any regulatory action is unclear.
Overdraft programs shouldn't be used as payday-lending substitutes, said Rebecca Borné of the Center for Responsible Lending, a consumer-advocacy group. "It's not illegal per se, but it flies in the face of the whole regulatory regime that's been set up to allow overdraft fees," she said.
5. No Harm no foul, say Wal-Mart and some customers:
Wal-Mart said it vets the banks inside its stores to ensure they are in line with its "philosophy of saving customers money." It has no role in the operation of the banks, which are overseen by federal regulators. A number of customers the Journal contacted said they regularly overdraw their accounts, willingly paying the fees. "I used payday lenders before but they're more expensive," said Frank Owens, 38, who opened his Woodforest account in the Cleveland Wal-Mart because of "financial difficulties" at another bank.

Another Fine Mess -- Online Images
Here are a few examples. The following are taken from the same photo:
Here are two more examples that come from the same original:
Even though they are from the same photo the top image is reversed (or is it the bottom one?). Here are three more images from the same photograph:
We can only guess at how many iterations of the photo will continue to appear. Here are four different copies of another photograph. Which is the original, if you care?
Is this simply a matter of esthetics? Does anyone really care if the original is changed so dramatically? It appears that none of these is the complete original, as a matter of fact. Why do we think we can change a photograph to suit our whim and not change the facts about their lives? Oh, well maybe changing the facts isn't a bad idea either? I think it is unethical to change the original photo without providing an unaltered copy of the original, if it is available.

I mentioned our Holiday tradition of a flight of Anchor's beers, another perhaps more enjoyable tradition we have is buying a bottle of the holiday beer from Brasserie d'Achouffe, N'Ice Chouffe. This is a strong, dark holiday beer. Quite sweet and lightly flavored with spices, thyme, and Curacao Orange peels.
The thing I like about the N'Ice Chouffe is that first and foremost it is a delicious, if somewhat sweet, Belgian beer. Unlike a lot of flavored American beers, the flavor of the beer is first and the flavor of the spices is an accent, not the dominant element. Definitely one of my favorite winter warmers.
This is the travel edition of Beer of the Week, because for the holidays we traveled to the Midwest to visit our family and friends. So much great beer was drunk over the 10 days we were in Wisconsin, that I've sort of lost track of all of it. The beer I look forward to having every time I get back to the Midwest is Bell's Two Hearted Ale. It's a delicious IPA in a style that marries the less aggressive hopping of East Coast IPAs to the strongly hopped West Coast style Ales. It is just wonderfully complex, and one of my favorite beers. Along with Bell's, much beer from New Glarus Brewing was drunk. Fat Squirrel, Spotted Cow, and many others include a delicious special Smoked Porter called, "Smoke on the Porter". Yum! We also sampled beers from many other breweries, including some that were new to me like, Lake Louie Brewing.
Lest this be all beer, here is last night's dinner, a nice braised chicken with root vegetables served over tagliatelle.
In any case, the best part of traveling to the Midwest is getting to see friends and family. We had a great New Year's Eve Party with a group of our closest friends. An event which included sledding, braised pork, homemade soda bread, rum balls, exclusive videos, absinthe, and a midnight bonfire to usher in the New Year! Whew!
Not to mention, one of our friends confessed that her newest guilty pleasure is Peach Lambic! Back in San Francisco, last night, we raised a glass in a toast to good friends, good food, good beer! Here's to all of my old and new friends! May your New Year be a happy one!

truTV Expands Relationship with Zodiak USA, with Newly Greenlit Series "Hardcore Pawn: Fort Bragg" and More "Hardcore Pawn" and "Lizard Lick Towing"
truTV is set to expand its successful relationship with Zodiak USA, ordering a sixth season of the Tuesday night hit Hardcore Pawn and additional episodes of the popular Monday night series Lizard Lick Towing. truTV is also looking to build on Hardcore Pawn's success by greenlighting the all-new series Hardcore Pawn: Fort Bragg.
Set to premiere later this year, truTV's new series Hardcore Pawn: Fort Bragg will offer a very different look at the pawn business, focusing almost entirely on weapons and military equipment. The series will take viewers behind the scenes at a truly unique pawn store, Guns Plus. Located next to the legendary military base, Guns Plus is staffed by military veterans, including ex-Marines and Special Ops soldiers, who have an amazing first-hand knowledge of the rare and collectible weapons that come through their doors on a daily basis. The store is a favorite of the thousands of soldiers stationed at Fort Bragg, as well as their proud families, friends and supporters. truTV has ordered seven episodes of Hardcore Pawn: Fort Bragg, which is executive-produced by Grant Mansfield, Natalka Znak, Mike Gamson and Ken Snow.
"We have had such tremendous success with Hardcore Pawn, it makes sense to expand the concept into a franchise with Hardcore Pawn: Fort Bragg," said Marc Juris, executive vice president and chief operating officer of truTV. "The new Hardcore Pawn: Fort Bragg also gives us the opportunity to introduce viewers to some of the incredible men and women who serve in the military and whose stories will play an important part in the show."
truTV's Hardcore Pawn will return for the second half of its fifth season on Tuesday, March 20, with the newly ordered sixth season slated for later this year. The network's most popular series, Hardcore Pawn is an eye-opening look at one of the country's largest pawnshops, American Jewelry & Loan, and the family that runs it. Third-generation pawnbroker Les Gold runs the shop with son Seth, who is being groomed to eventually take over, and daughter Ashley, who serves as the store's general manager. In the first half of the season, Les opened a second store against Ashley and Seth's wishes. As a result, the main store started to suffer. With Seth planning to change the business structure of American Jewelry & Loan behind Les's back, the midseason finale ended with a tense standoff between father and son.
In season 5, which ranks as its most-watched season yet, Hardcore Pawn has averaged more than 2.9 million viewers Tuesdays at 9 p.m., up 21% compared to its fourth season. The show is also up with key demos, including 17% growth among adults 18-49 and 21% growth among men 18-49. Competitively in January, Hardcore Pawn ranked as ad-supported cable's #2 program in its Tuesday 9 p.m. timeslot with adults 18-49 and men 18-49, while also scoring a Top 5 timeslot ranking with adults 18-34 and men 18-34. Hardcore Pawn is executive-produced by Grant Mansfield, Mike Gamson, Natalka Znak, Claire O'Donohoe and Richard Dominick.
truTV has ordered 13 additional episodes of Lizard Lick Towing, which is currently in the midst of its second season Mondays at 10 p.m. (ET/PT). Named after the Wendell, N.C., towing and repo company owned and run by Ron and Amy Shirley, the show follows the Shirleys as they repossess vehicles and machinery on behalf of lien holders - a difficult and often unpleasant task, to say the least. Ron and his best buddy, Bobby Brantley, are responsible for tracking down and repossessing property, often coming face-to-face with irate owners. Meanwhile, former champion power lifter Amy works the main office, where the owners often bring heated demands that property be returned.
Since premiering in February 2011, Lizard Lick Towing has become one of truTV's most popular shows, averaging 1.6 million viewers in its second season to date. The series is up a remarkable 31% compared to its first season, with adults 18-49 up 41% and men 18-49 up 38%. In January, Lizard Lick Towing ranked among ad-supported cable's Top 5 programs in its time period with all key adult and key male demos, as well as total viewers. The show is executive-produced by Mike Gamson and Jo Inglott.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The first foray outside of NCAA Division III in seven years didn't go as planned for the Wittenberg Tigers, who dropped a 49-24 decision at NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Butler.
The Tigers got off to a terrible start, falling behind 14-3 after one quarter before giving up a whopping 28 points in the second. Two of Butler's touchdowns were scored by the Bulldogs' defense as Wittenberg committed four costly first-half turnovers.
Wittenberg recovered over the final 30 minutes, outscoring Butler 21-7. It wasn't enough, however, as the Tigers lost their season opener, while the Bulldogs evened their record at 1-1 after starting with a 55-14 loss at South Dakota State a week earlier.
Senior quarterback Reed Florence (South Charleston, Ohio/Southeastern) had a tough day, as he was charged with two fumbles and two interceptions. But he showed leadership and resiliency in the second half, throwing a pair of touchdown passes and running for another score. For the game, Florence finished 26-of-40 for 298 yards through the air, in addition to 15 carries for 38 yards.
Only four Wittenberg players caught a pass in the game, but all were extremely productive. Senior Brendon Cunningham (Kettering, Ohio/Fairmont) led with eight catches for 95 yards, followed by junior Zac Wilson (Eaton, Ohio/Eaton) with seven receptions for 86 yards, senior Jonathan Stoner (Bowling Green, Ohio/Bowling Green) with eight catches for 72 yards and a score, and sophomore running back Jimmy Dehnke (Canton, Ohio/Massillon Jackson) with four receptions for 54 yards and a TD.
On the other side, Butler quarterback Matt Lancaster was efficient with 13-of-17 passing for 205 yards and four touchdowns in just one half of work. The Bulldogs did most of their damage in the second half on the ground, pushing their game total to 213 rushing yards on 39 attempts.
Defensively, senior linebacker Spencer Leno (Massillon, Ohio/Washington) led with nine tackles. Junior linebacker Nick Gibson (Marysville, Ohio/Marysville) added seven tackles, an interception and a pass broken up.
The trip to Indiana was the first of three to the Hoosier state for Wittenberg in the 2013 season. After a week off, the Tigers return to action at North Coast Athletic Conference rival DePauw on Saturday, Sept. 21.

Summer Stock: Three Options Plays
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Investors face an extraordinary series of events over the next few weeks that could change the tone of the global financial markets through year's end.
On Sept. 6, the European Central Bank meets. On Sept. 7, a week before an important Federal Reserve meeting, the government releases August employment data. On Sept. 12, Germany's high court is expected to rule on the legality of the European Stability Mechanism, which the ECB could use as a liquidity mechanism. On Sept. 13, the Federal Open Market Committee concludes a two-day meeting at which the policy-setting panel may set new stimulus plans.
THE OPTIONS MARKET IS TEEMING with pre-event positioning, though the stock market's relative calm suggests the usual end-of-summer slumber in the stock markets. Three basic trades are setting up in the options market: preparing for the worst, hoping for the best with so-called reflation trades, and seeking shelter in Apple's secular bull market.
If central bankers don't intervene in the markets, stock prices will likely decline because investors expected something to happen. Mario Draghi, the ECB president, has been vocal on his willingness to save the euro.
Action in the Standard & Poor's 500 index and related exchange-traded funds shows major investors are buying defensive put options, often in great quantities. The cost of portfolio hedging is still relatively inexpensive. The Chicago Board Options Exchange's Volatility Index is around 16. Hedges can still be had without paying a fear premium, which will almost certainly happen if the bankers prove to be all talk and no action.
On Monday, one investor bought 100,000 SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (ticker: SPY) November 140 puts and sold 100,000 November 130 puts. The put spread cost $2.47 and hedges a major stock portfolio that tracks the S&P 500 against a nasty decline to 130. Similar variations, in lesser size, are common.
The reflation trade seeks exposure to sectors that could advance if the banks ease monetary policy. Some investors are buying calls, or selling puts in SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and Market Vectors Gold Miners (GDX) in anticipation that any further debasing of currencies helps gold, and thus gold miners that have recently started outperforming the precious metal.
IF THE CENTRAL BANKERS CONFOUND everyone, and stocks move neither sharply up or down, Apple (AAPL) may shine even brighter. The stock recently traded to a record high of $680.87 on the wings of a patent litigation victory against Samsung Electronics (005930.South Korea), though it was recently around $673, where it continues to captivate investors who think the expected Sept. 12 launch of the iPhone 5 will send shares higher yet again.
Michael Schwartz, Oppenheimer's chief options strategist, is telling clients to consider a 100-point call spread that pays off if the stock hits $800 by January 2014. With the stock trading at $674.52, Schwartz told clients to buy the January $700 call that expires in 2014 and to sell the January $800 call that expires in 2014. The spread cost $35.80 and breaks even if Apple's stock hits $735.80. Should the stock hit $800, the maximum profit is $64.20 at expiration.
A $100 spread seems unusually aggressive. Many stocks cost far less than $100. But Apple's stock is up 67% this year and almost 16% in the past month. The call spread is attractive to investors who already own the stock because they can take profits and still participate in any rally over the next year. If the stock sinks, profits were secured prior to the fall, and risk was reduced, which is the sinew binding all of the pre-central bank trades.

Patients who were unable to name or recognize culturally-relevant and age appropriate famous faces may be at risk for various deficits in early-onset dementias, researchers found.
Compared with age-matched controls, patients with primary progressive aphasia "displayed significant impairment" at a famous face identification task, with greater naming impairment associated with left anterior temporal lobe atrophy, and with greater recognition impairment associated with bitemporal atrophy, according to Tamar Gefen, MS, of the Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, Ill., and colleagues.
Action Points
- Note that this cross-sectional study of individuals with primary progressive aphasia demonstrated significant deficits on a "face-naming" test.
- Be aware that the association of performance on this test and progressive dementia has yet to be evaluated.
The face identification test "has the added potential to help disentangle the anatomical substrates of large-scale distributed network's underlying word and object knowledge," they wrote in the August 13 issue of Neurology.
The authors highlighted that issues with name recall are common difficulties in old age, and that more severe deficits -- including impaired facial recognition -- are signs of neurodegenerative diseases "that damage language and object recognition networks."
"Senior moments," subjective reports of cognitive decline, may also be indicators of future clinically-relevant impairment, according to research presented during the Alzheimer's Association International Conference.
The researchers used a novel facial naming and recognizing task -- the Northwestern University Famous Faces (NUFFACE) Test -- to evaluate anatomical correlates for naming and recognition in a population of 30 patients with primary progressive aphasia and 27 age- and sex-matched cognitively healthy controls.
Primary progressive aphasia is a "predominantly young-onset clinical dementia characterized by selective language disruption and relative preservation of other cognitive abilities" in early disease, and is associated with an asymmetrical atrophy of the language-dominant hemisphere that can extend to adjacent and opposite areas of the brain.
In addition to the NUFFACE Test, participants had general cognition, severity of aphasia, and object naming and comprehension evaluated.
The NUFFACE Test required participants to accurately name and recognize 20 black and white photos of the faces of popular and/or celebrity faces from visual media and press. Faces were chosen based on such celebrity status, race and sex, and time when the person was famous. Scores were based on accuracy of naming and accuracy of recognition, based on full or partial recall of the person, if they were recognized or named at all.
Participants also received an MRI to measure cortical thickness and to generate a surface map of the neocortex.
The aphasia population had a mean age of 62, versus 62.3 for the control group. Participants in the aphasia group were mostly female (60%), versus 48% of the control group. Patients with aphasia had a mean symptom duration length of 3.9 years.
The control group scored significantly higher on the naming portion (93.4 versus 46.4, P<0.0001) and significantly higher -- but less so -- at the recognition portion (96.9 versus 78.5, P<0.01) versus the aphasia group.
Controls also scored significantly higher on:
- The Boston Naming Test, another type of face-naming test (96.9 versus 62.5, P<0.0001)
- The Northwestern Anagram Test (99.1 versus 76.3, P<0.0001)
- The Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (98 versus 78.4, P<0.01)
- Western Aphasia Battery -- Aphasia Quotient (99.7 versus 83.1, P<0.0001)
- The Mini-Mental State Examination for global cognition (98.2 versus 83.2, P<0.0001)
There was no difference between groups on a face perception task.
The authors noted that "control subjects performed almost at ceiling on language and cognitive measures, whereas aphasia subjects demonstrated significantly reduced performance in measures that assess specialized language domains."
NUFFACE Test naming performance was positively associated with cortical thinning in the left temporal cortex -- including the anterior regions of the superior, middle and inferior temporal gyri and anterior fusiform. Poor face recognition test performance was positively associated with bilateral atrophy in the anterior temporal lobe -- including the anterior portions of the superior, middle, and inferior temporal gyri and fusiform gyrus.
These findings supported a dual-route model "to which face naming is dependent on the integrity of a left hemisphere language network, whereas face recognition is dependent on the integrity of a bilateral or predominantly right-sided object recognition network," they concluded.
Future analyses could evaluate whether the NUFFACE Test would accurately assess patients with other neurodegenerative syndromes, they added.
The study was funded by the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders, the National Institute on Aging, the National Center for Research Resources, the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences.
The authors declared no conflicts of interest related to their research.

I love the cover for my Jennylund chair. The Polo Dark Olive green color is gorgeous! The craftsmanship is beautiful. The cover fits better than the original one from IKEA because it's slightly longer so that the chair legs don't show. I highly recommend this product!

The fabric is very soft and rich looking. Also, it does not "soak up" cat hair the way that my other furniture seems to - I can really just dust it off. The craftsmanship is impressive. My old Ikea chaise lounge looks like a new, nice piece of furniture!

Literally perfection!

I've had my Kivik chaise for 6 yrs and it was time for an upgrade. The cushions were still firm and comfortable but the ikea cover was pilling and rough. I ordered some FREE samples from Cover Couch and landed on the cover of my dreams! A lush plum velvet. I put the cover on last night and COULDN'T be happier!! It's perfect. The fit is like a glove and the material is high quality!! With 2 dogs, the velvet is so much easier to clean than the rough linen on the original cover. I am now ordering another velvet cover in beige for my matching kivik sectional. Can't wait!
Lovely colour and fabric.
