Argentina Ends Team USA's Remarkable 'Copa America' Run By Eyder Peralta • Jun 21, 2016 Team USA's remarkable run in the Copa America came to a screeching halt on Tuesday during a semi-final match against Argentina. In front of more than 70,000 fans in Houston, Texas, the U.S. men's national soccer team was quite simply outmatched by the best team in the world. As Ives Galarcep of sbisoccer.com put it, Argentina looked every bit like a No. 1 team, while the "USA looked like a team nowhere near ready for the challenge." Social Stream: Soccer Fans Gather Downtown For World Cup Watch Party By 90.5 WESA • Jul 1, 2014 Soccer fans have gathered in Market Square in downtown Pittsburgh this afternoon to watch the U.S. face off with the team from Belgium. Here's some of what we're seeing on social media: The Fort Pitt Regiment: An Attractive Brand of Soccer By Essential Pittsburgh • Jul 1, 2014 Fort Pitt Regiment Listen Listening... / 9:29 The World Cup soccer tournament taking place in Brazil is really calling attention to the sport of soccer in the United States. Here in western Pennsylvania a new soccer team has just formed in the last year. The Fort Pitt Regiment soccer team is the newest member of the Nation Premier Soccer League. But not many Pittsburgh residents know anything about the league. Tim McCoy, Director of Business Operations and board member of the Regiment said this new team is not trying to compete with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds. "What we offer is an affordable evening out and in some ways I would equate it to the difference between the Washington Wild Things and the Pittsburgh Pirates." With the current popularity of World Cup Soccer, the Regiment's inaugural season was well timed. Pittsburgh Businesses Are Ready for Thursday's USA-Germany World Cup Game By Essential Pittsburgh • Jun 25, 2014 Christopher Squier / 90.5 WESA Listen Listening... / 9:38 The next game the United States plays in the World Cup could be its last of the tournament. The match against Germany is already being considered one of the most important soccer games in the country's history. With this important matchup beginning in less than 24 hours, some fans are getting ready by watching rally videos, getting their USA team gear, and setting up plans to watch the game with friends and other fans Nick Sandi, owner of Nick's Imports on East Carson Street, sees the excitement of the World Cup growing in Pittsburgh first hand. Sand has been selling soccer shirts and country jerseys for each World Cup since 2002. For him, the excitement has reflected in sales. U.S. Soccer's Greatest Upset By Essential Pittsburgh • Jun 25, 2014 The Aged P Blog Listen Listening... / 19:20 On Thursday, the U.S. World Cup soccer team can advance to the round of 16 with either a win or tie against Germany. The United States has surpassed expectations; few thought they would escape the so-called "Group of Death" that also included Ghana and Portugal. As stacked as the odds have been against the United States in 2014, it is nothing compared to the odds faced by the U.S. team when Brazil last hosted the World Cup in 1950. The U.S. team that year consisted entirely of semi-pro players who often held additional jobs- one player missed the tournament because he could not take time off of work. In their second game, they faced England, who were widely considered to be the world's best team. But when the final whistle blew on June 29, 1950, it was the U.S. who had won, 1-0. The Business of Soccer By Essential Pittsburgh • Jun 24, 2014 Rebecca Harris / Chatham Center for Women's Entrepreneurship Listen Listening... / 13:31 Arguably the biggest sporting event in the world is currently taking place down in Brazil. The World Cup draws big numbers of television viewers across the planet, making it a great opportunity for companies looking to get their brand in front of a global market. This week contributor Rebecca Harris looks at the business of soccer. "It's a widely viewed sport. It has a cumulative audience, in the 2006 figures that we looked at, 26 billion people watched it over a course of a month, with an estimated 715 million people watching the final match, which is 1/9 of the entire world's population. When we talk about those numbers, automatically that translates into television advertising, sports apparel sponsorship, infrastructure building in the host country, think about what's been built in Brazil alone, it's just remarkable. So this really is big business." Is It Finally Soccer's Time in the Steel City? By Essential Pittsburgh • Jun 23, 2014 Christopher Squier / 90.5 WESA Listen Listening... / 9:14 In case you haven't heard, there is a rather large soccer tournament playing in Brazil that happens once every four years called the World Cup. And unlike baseball's World Series: every country in the world is eligible to play, after making it through the qualifying rounds. This year the United States has a good chance of advancing past the "Group of Death" and into the round of 16. Their actual odds are disputed among sites such as Bloomberg, World Soccer Talk and CBSDC. All three give the US team at least a 60 percent chance of advancing.

Parashat Hayyei Sarah
November 25-26, 2016 – 26 Heshvan 5777
Annual (Genesis 23:1-25:18): Etz Hayim p. 127-141; Hertz p. 80-89
Triennial (Genesis 23:1-24:9): Etz Hayim p. 127-132; Hertz p. 80-83
Haftarah (1 Kings 1:1-31): Etz Hayim p. 142-145; Hertz p. 90-92
Kissin' Cousins – and more
Esther Israel, CY Talmud and Bible Faculty
Marrying within the family can be logical – assuming you like the family. You know what you're getting, both genetically and value-wise, and you're not adding many new relatives (in whom you may not be interested).
This week's parashah, Hayyei Sarah, is named after the "recently" deceased Matriarch Sarah. You may have missed the announcement of her marriage to Avram three weeks ago, at the end of Parshat Noah. Gen. 11:29 reports the marriages of the brothers, Avram and Nahor, sons of Terah: the first to Sarai, and the latter to Milka. Milka, incidentally, is the daughter of their deceased brother, Haran. In other words, Nahor marries his niece. Funny thing, the Torah calls her "Milka, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milka and Yiscah". The Midrash equates Yiscah with Sarai, thereby having the brothers marry their two nieces, sisters. That would explain the funny repetition above – it's coming to point out something about Yiscah.
Further on, in Gen. 20:12 (Parashat Vayera), Avraham tells the Philistine king, Avimelekh, that his wife Sarah is actually his sister – by father, but not by mother. If she were indeed his brother's daughter, that might be what Avraham meant by referring to her, albeit very loosely, as his paternal sister!
In our parashah Avraham sends his servant to find a wife for his son, Yitzhak. The right wife, according to Avraham, must be from his family in the "old country," even if one has to travel weeks to find her. Indeed, the bride found is Rivka, the granddaughter of Avraham's brother, Nahor. Therefore, she is Yitzhak's first cousin once-removed.
A generation later Yitzhak sends his son, Ya'akov, to Lavan, the brother of his wife Rivka. Why? To find a wife, of course! And, outdoing the others, Ya'akov marries not one relative, but two – the two sisters, his first cousins Rachel and Leah.
When Ya'akov is sent to Haran to find a wife, Esau realizes he erred by marrying "foreign" Canaanite women. He tries to make amends by taking another wife, from the family this time: he marries his paternal Uncle Yishma'el's daughter Mahalat. However, he misunderstood: in this story, the boys from Avraham's line must be matched with girls from Nahor's line.
Avraham and the carriers of "Avraham's blessing" – granting the right to the eventual inheritance of the land and the blessing of offspring – are those who need to continue the family by "innermarrying". By that point in the story it is already clear that it is Ya'akov who bears "Avraham's blessing", and Esau probably need not "innermarry". Similar analysis tells us that marrying into Yishma'el's line will not advance the plot. The Children of Israel are the blend of Avraham and Nahor: we are full B'nei Terah.
Rashi quotes Midrash to explain Leah's "soft"/weak eyes: they were damaged by her crying over what she understood to be her fated marriage, to her elder cousin Esau (whereas younger Rachel would marry the younger Ya'akov). This Midrash considers the possibility that Esau, too, might have married into Nahor's line.
The Torah does not express concern with possible genetic complications (of which information was lacking) of repeated marriages within one extended family. Strangely, there is not even concern for those relations that will later in the Torah, not yet given, be defined as incest. It is not within the scope of this blurb to try and work that out. However, points to ponder…
A Vort for Parashat Hayyei Sarah
Rabbi Daniel Goldfarb, CY Faculty
On "Abraham was old, a veteran of many days [ba b'yamim]" (Gen 24:1), R' Mordechai HaKohen (Israel, 20th) tells of R' Yakov )Lorberbaum) from Lisa (1770 – 1832, Poland) who heard that there were residents in town who were unhappy with him. He invited them in and asked them to detail his deficiencies or misdeeds. God forbid, Rabbi, they said, you are a Talmid chacham and a true believer. It's just that you are young, and our city deserves a more mature rabbi. "Don't worry," R' Yakov assured them. "I understand the problem and I promise I'll work to correct it m'yom l'yom, every day."
Table Talk
Vered Hollander-Goldfarb, CY Faculty
In this Parasha we have 2 main stories: The death of Sarah that leads to Avraham purchasing land in Canaan, and finding a wife (Rivka –Rebecca) for Isaac (Yitzhak).
1) After Sarah dies Avraham insists on buying land, not accepting it as a gift. He even has a specific plot in mind: The cave at the edge of the field of Efron the Hittite. How does Efron respond? Read carefully: In vv. 10-11 he says one thing, and in v. 14 he seems to say something else. How do you explain this change?
2) After buying the land and burying Sarah we are told that Avraham is old and/ (but?) God had blessed Avraham with everything (24:1). What kind of things do you think that God gave Avraham that he would consider a blessing?
3) Avraham sends his senior servant to find a wife for Yitzhak. The servant takes 10 of his master's camels and "all his master's goods" with him (24:10). What do you think is the purpose of this part of the caravan? For whom might this part of the caravan be significant?
4) As a sign of "the appropriate wife for Yitzhak" the servant chooses 'she who, when asked to give water, will give me and offer to water the camels as well' (24:13-14). What will such behavior tell about the woman? Why is such an offer on her part extraordinarily generous? (Think about the physical work involved in this offer.) Does this behavior resemble anything that we have seen in Abraham?
5) Rivka (Rebecca) agreed to travel back with the servant to marry Yitzhak. As they approach and she sees Isaac for the first time, she descends from the camel (24:63-66). What does she ask the servant? What does he answer and how accurate is his answer? Why do you think he answered as he did?

As organic food begins to occupy more and more space in grocery stores, you may have found yourself standing in the produce aisle wondering whether organic produce is worth the price. And if you can't get organic, or it's not in your budget, how do you make produce choices that limit your pesticide exposure?
In short, when does organic matter the most?
The Environmental Working Group decided to answer that question by studying the pesticides present on 47 different fruits and vegetables. From that, they released what they called the "dirty dozen" – 12 foods that you should avoid or buy organic whenever possible.
The EWG estimates that you can lower your pesticide exposure by up to 80% by focusing on the low-pesticide foods and/or eating the "dirty dozen" in organic form.
The Dirty Dozen: The 12 Most Contaminated
- Peaches
- Apples
- Sweet Bell Peppers
- Celery
- Nectarines
- Strawberries
- Cherries
- Kale
- Lettuce
- Grapes (imported)
- Carrots
- Pears
The Clean 15: The 15 Least Contaminated
- Onion
- Avocado
- Sweet corn
- Pineapple
- Mango
- Asparagus
- Sweet Peas
- Kiwi
- Cabbage
- Eggplant
- Papaya
- Watermelon
- Broccoli
- Tomato
- Sweet Potato
You can read the full list of all 47, ranked from highest to lowest, or better yet, there's a free wallet card to help you remember next time you're shopping, and even an iPhone app!

Have you ever been a guest at someone's home that was so generous you practically begged, "PLEASE! STOP! I can't eat anymore!"? Yet, even then they still kept bringing more AND encouraging you to eat? While God would never encourage gluttony, there is a promise in Malachi that shows the type of character he has. In context, he was encouraging the Israelites to obediently bring their sacrifices as prescribed by the Mosaic Law. As a reward for their obedience (in what appeared to be difficult economic times), he promised: "see whether I will not open to you the floodgates of the heavens and pour out on you a blessing until there is nothing lacking." (NWT) (Other versions) The point is that God's generosity is not measured out, apportioned, meager.
Then I began to reflect on what indication we have that such a promise is trustworthy, true, reliable. The first example I thought of was the provision of manna. Exodus 16:18 says that everyone had enough to satisfy them. On top of that, this wasn't just a small one-time gesture. It continued 40 years until they entered the Promised Land. Even though the manna was supplying their dietary needs, at one time the crowd complained because they wanted something different. Jehovah provided quail. Was it a small amount? By NO means – try a full month's worth! Although there are other examples of Jehovah's generosity, for my final example, I will cite his son's actions. The Bible mentions two times when Jesus provided so much food that when the leftovers were collected, it amounted to a large surplus. Imagine feeding thousands of people and yet there were still leftovers!
My point? Neither Jehovah nor Jesus are stingy when being generous. They are also generous indiscriminately. It is a fine example for those who want to imitate their heavenly Father.

Spellcheck not working on Notes
Discussions about the Notes and Journal tool on LDS.org. This includes the Study Toolbar as well as the scriptures and other content on LDS.org that is integrated with Notes and Journal.

Spellcheck not working on Notes
I use notes on mobile (Android) and Windows 10 using Firefox and Chrome. In the Gospel Library app on Android, the spellcheck works just fine. On Windows 10 in Chrome and Firefox, on multiple different computers, there is no spellchecking whatsoever. I love being able to write notes on mobile and on Windows. The changes to Notes over the last while have been fantastic. This is my one complaint. Does anyone else have this problem?
Re: Spellcheck not working on Notes
Are you using Study.LDS.org / Notes.LDS.org, or the Windows 10 Gospel Library app?
Samuel Bradshaw • If you desire to serve God, you are called to the work.
Re: Spellcheck not working on Notes
Spell checking is often times a web browser feature. Maybe you need to enable it in your web browser?
Re: Spellcheck not working on Notes
Sorry for the long delay. Spell check works fine in other text fields, including in this box I am typing in now. I have tried on multiple computers in multiple browsers and I can replicate this across all.
Re: Spellcheck not working on Notes
I was going to try it out on the Notes page, but I've been having a lot of problems getting the page to load today. It's been spinning for a long time and not loading. Maybe I'll try another day.

The Day of the Pulse is upon us and as a part of the Day of the Pulse Campaign I am sending you this email to inform you that the wish for a continuation of the Dark Angel franchise has not gone away, and remains strong with thousands of fans worldwide. Me and other fans are requesting for you to either make a movie, a mini series, a comic book or something else out of Dark Angel. If you don't want to do anything with Dark Angel yourselves, sell the rights to someone whom will!
The Day of the Pulse accordingly to the show took place on June 1st 2009 when a terrorist attack consisting of an electro magnetic pulse ruined the US economy and cost the US's place in the world as a superpower. The incident is what creates the entire premise of the show and is therefor a symbolic date for all Dark Angel lovers. We are embracing this special day and pleaing to you to enable us to get closure on this subject.
Dark Angel is forever!

Her "nakedness" attracted the ire of the rest of the flock. She was getting picked on, her comb and wattle stopped being a healthy red. She needed help!
My chickens don't usually have such dramatic molts, so I resorted to some TLC for Broody Brood. I fed her separately from the flock. I even scrambled some of my chicken eggs and fed them to the flock. After all, they are the best nutrition in the neighborhood.
But Broody Brood continued her molt and looked terrible. Then I stumbled upon Nutrena's Feather Fixer feed. The bag said that Feather Fixer is designed to help your hens; and roosters, get through their molt quicker and help prevent mites.
According to the bag, this food can be fed year-round, or just during a molt. Nutrena says it provides:
· Optimal protein and energy levels for chickens regrowing feathers,
· Organic trace minerals to support feather regrowth and eggshell strength,
· Prebiotics and probiotics to support proper digestion and nutrient absorption,
· A blend of nutrients to naturally support the immune system,
· Mite-fighter technology to prevent mites,
· A natural source of greens and
· Aztec marigold extract for golden yolks.With all those listed benefits, I had to give it a try. When I opened the bag, I was worried at first. The food is in pellets and my chickens normally hate pellets. But, to my amazement, they couldn't get enough.
We haven't been using it long, but Broody Brood is looking better by the day. Her newly emerging feathers are coming in fast. They're shiny and soft. She's also picking up some weight, her comb and wattle are getting redder and she's got a lot more energy. As a bonus, a few of my other hens who had bare backs from the roosters are also starting to look better. So far, I'm thinking this is a food I'm definitely going to feed during molting periods, and also mix in throughout the year.

While any game these days worth its salt is certain to receive at least a few updates and expansions post-launch, BioWare is getting more than a little carried away with the Game Update 1.2 for Star Wars: The Old Republic. The number of changes and improvements are almost too numerous to list, so the development team has decided to release an in-depth trailer simply showing how different the game will be once the update arrives.
Despite The Old Republic's initial success and critical reception, there doesn't seem to be any time or energy being wasted by those charged with keeping the game new and exciting. BioWare has already made it clear that players should get used to massive changes going forward, but if Update 1.2 is any sign of how comfortable the developers are with tweaking the formula, it's hard to know what the game will look like a year from now.
Some game studios might take a record like 'fastest growing MMO in history' as a sign that their product isn't in need of correcting, but from UI customization to the mysterious Legacy System, nearly every aspect of The Old Republic will be getting an update of some kind.
New class races, pets, and the chance to finally make your droid love you await in Update 1.2. Have a look at the trailer to see the changes in action:
The idea of joining alternate characters in one family tree may have seemed like a complicated mechanic, but in practice seems straightforward enough. The same can be said for the PvP Warzone rankings and Guild Banking, which caters directly to the hardcore players who often suffer a lack of endgame content. The Legacy System will also be bringing new incentives to higher-level players with new abilities and unlocks, but new equipment will also be introduced to players game-wide.
The number of adjustments and new features are too numerous to show in a single video, but even with this brief look, the future seems bright for TOR subscribers. As the first major update it's hard to be disappointed with how many fan requests and concerns are being addressed, and it's safe to assume that this will become a trend.
While Mac owners are still unable to craft a Star Wars saga of their own, the idea of a Mac release is still likely on the minds of those at BioWare. On the bright side, Mac gamers may see a vastly improved gameplay experience if it does come to their platform, freed from the glitches that plagued the PC release.
What aspects of the update are you most looking forward to? If you've somewhat cooled on the game since its release, does this new content and customization pique your interest?
The Old Republic Game Update 1.2 is expected to arrive some time this month.

Latest mentions of the Food Policy Coalition in the media.
Thursday, January 1, 2009
There is an agrarian revolution coming to roost in Cleveland that is part of a comprehensive effort to increase access to fresh, healthy, affordable food in Cuyahoga County and to leverage local dollars to support a growing regional food economy. One aspect of this movement focuses on revising city zoning regulations on keeping farm animals and bees on private property.
Wednesday, December 10, 2008
On a frigid morning, the soil on the half-acre lot beside Bodnar-Mahoney Funeral Home on Lorain Avenue crunches under your feet like a hard-candy shell. Jocelyn Kirkwood, co-founder of the fledgling Gather 'round Farm, is tossing feed to 16 hens and their fat rooster prince. Shifting from foot to foot, Meagen Kresge, the operation's other half, is surveying the lot's tidy bald mounds and their promise of spring. "A farmer's supposed to be taking vacation this time of year," says Meagen, 38, with a weary roll of the head. "Ha."
The intent of the urban-farming legislation, explains Cimperman, is to broaden the appeal of becoming more self-sufficient, healthy and productive.
CLEVELAND CITY COUNCIL: Councilman Cimperman sponsors legislation supporting the Food Policy Coalition's efforts to spur the local food economy
Monday, October 13, 2008
On Monday, October 13, 2008, Councilman Joe Cimperman, Ward 13, in partnership with the Food Policy Coalition, will introduce a resolution containing the 2008 Food Charter for Local Food Purchasing Policy, an ordinance to refine Urban Livestock and an ordinance for Beekeeping Zoning that will continue the City of Cleveland's leadership in the nourishment of a local foods economy.
Monday, August 4, 2008
"The city of Cleveland is the only major city in the country that actually changed its zoning code in the last couple of years to now allow vacant lots to be zoned for gardens." Cimperman also speaks glowingly of other exciting developments. "We're working with a group called the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Food Policy Coalition, which is doing everything from figuring out how to change the code now, so that we can actually have people cultivating bees and chickens in the city … [to] looking at things like at the West Side Market, where we found that in one week … we were able to harvest two tons of compost [from discarded food] just from Monday, Wednesday and Friday."
Thursday, June 26, 2008
As one of the first big cities in the nation to adopt urban garden zoning, Cleveland officials are already looking at refining it and expanding it.
The motivation has come from increased interest by residents in growing their own produce and raising their own livestock to save money on food and energy costs.
Leading the charge is the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Food Policy Coalition, comprised of 60 different organizations.
ECOWATCH: Food Policy Coalition—Working to Make Fresh, Affordable, Local Foods Available to All Northeast Ohioans
Sunday, June 1, 2008
Food is sometimes considered the most common denominator in the human experience. We need to eat, and so over time, we have developed systems—economic, agricultural and cultural—to support that need. As human beings, we know food. But do we know the policies, practices, laws and ultimately, dollars, that influence all things related to food and determines what ends up on our dinner plates?
Saturday, September 1, 2007
Last year, developers removed a thriving community garden on West 117th Street to make room for a new Target store. Since gardeners there did not actually own the land, they had no recourse to protect their garden. Five other community gardens just like the one on West 117th Street have been lost within the last five years alone.
Earlier this year, Ward 13 Councilman Joe Cimperman introduced legislation to give these gardens a layer of protection. On March 5, Cleveland City Council created the nation's first ever zoning designation for community gardens.

Hey, lady, your $800,000 house is NOT my problem
Repeat after me: Property value-preservation is not a civil right.
Craig Meister at the Examiner.com points me to this typical CNN sob story clip of a bus driver named Minta Garcia who is demanding that President Obama halt all foreclosures. She's underwater on an $800,000 home.
Embedded video from CNN Video
From the transcript:
ACOSTA: Like countless other Americans, Garcia admits she and her husband bought more house than they could afford, but she says the lender made the purchase all too easy. Now her mortgage is worth more than her house.
(on camera): How much was the house when you bought it?
GARCIA: Eight hundred.
ACOSTA: Eight hundred thousand dollars?. And how much is the house worth?
GARCIA: Right now, it's like $675,000 on the market.
Tell you what, Mrs. Garcia. We'll help you out with your bad financial investment when you agree to help the rest of us make up for our stock portfolio losses.
Cry me a river.

I've had a little over a month to replay my last major jump school at the SCHJA finals and the many mistakes I made on that last course. As middle-aged adult ammie, I find myself replaying the worst parts of that trip. The opening Keebler chip, the major miss to the combination. Like a favorite song on my iPod that I play until I just can't stand it anymore. That's what I've been up to.
Historically riding for me comes to a screeching halt after that show, as life and the pressures of the holidays close in. Oliver usually ends up with a month off, not that I don't try to ride, I just can't call it legitimate attempts if it only happens once or twice in 4 weeks.
2016 goals are looming, I really want to move up this year and I need to start getting us fit so we are ready. My trainer had an open spot so we shipped over for a lesson. This was the first real jump school I have had since the show. It was a little intimidating at first. It was windy, neither of us are very fit and the jumps just look mammoth big, even though they aren't.
We start warming up, Oliver is being silly spooking at stupid things he normally doesn't thing twice about, which is not helping my confidence. He finally decides there are no 'Dead People' in the woods to spook at and gets down to business. We start the warm up jumps and promptly find the short distance from the trot, and I am thinking perhaps this was not the best idea and I'm regretting the lesson already. What was I thinking? Neither of us are fit for a lesson? Great, I can show off my mad chipping skills today… fun fun. I just need to suck it up and get it done so I can put the demon from the last show to rest once and for all.
We start jumping lines and suddenly instinct kicks back in, I put him in front of my leg and start asking him for a more powerful canter to the jumps. He would prefer to just go around and lope over the speed bumps in the ring at 2′6″. But once the jumps go up and I have him in front of my leg it's an incredible feeling. He nails the oxer and the 4 to the 1 stride and my confidence 'eye' and in my skills are rising.
I CAN do this, suddenly I'm focusing on the smaller puzzle pieces on the course and not the distances. That powerful canter to the jumps just has the spots leaping out at me with a spotlight. ( YEAHY!!!!) Our nemesis is his over achiever gene with the lead changes through bending lines.
He keeps asking me down the bending ( 7 or angled 6) – Can I swap now? (No), Now? (NO) How about now? (NO!), BUHHTTT MOOOOOOMMMM, you're wrong! I need to swap before I get to that jump ( NO! Olive…I promise, I'm not lying to you, your fine…- please don't swap) CHAAA CHING….. 3 strides out.. finds the deep one to a nice tall vertical ( are you happy now Oliver?) I can feel his response through the reins.. he feels silly.. sorry mom.. . face palm..
We school it a few more times, nail it on the off lead and quit on big pats and lots of praise. It's just amazing what a good jump school can do for your confidence. I started off wondering if someone had the local medivac on speed dial and finished off having nailed a few solid big courses and getting a little excited about the show season. 😀

My daughter loves her counselor Courtney and after meeting the new Medical Director/ Physician this morning she has high hopes for the program, staff and clients. She expressed to me how great Dr. K is and how much she absolutely likes him. She said he was so very smart and knowledgeable. In her exact words she stated that Dr. K "Knew his "s**t". As for her counselor Courtney, she absolutely adores that young lady and speaks of how kind and caring she is. She said that she never talks down to her and she always treats her with respect. In her exact words she says, "That's my Girl mom". She def is my favorite Bia Bia". Whatever that means. Lol. She also likes the ladies and gentlemen who check everyone into the system when they come in and as far as I know has respect for and likes the nurses. Some better than others but nevertheless she really doesn't dislike them. She has problems with the way that one or two of the nurses seem to do things sometimes, handle situations, often seem very judgmental and the way they seem to pry into people's personal business but other than that I believe she is fine with them. She also likes her previous counselor Lavinya very much and always respected the way that she interacted with and treated her. Sorry if that is spelled wrong hon, I did my best to spell it correctly. She also stated that she found the previous Doctor to be quite the Funnyman. I'm not sure of his name but he definitely was a character from what my Daughter says. There are some areas that need improvement and some of the staff need to be advised on how to be more professional and more respectful to the clients. After all people come there for help and they shouldn't be treated like they are the burdens of society by certain nurses, counselors and other staff members. I also read the review where the young man spoke of how the police sit there and run tags, harass people and arrest people with warrants who come there for treatment. I agree with him and have seen that with my own eyes. Isn't that an INJUSTICE of our constitutional rights as AMERICANS? SMH. Well that's enough out of me. 😊

One of the most holistic and humanistic places I have visited. Staff is genuinely interested in your welfare, and the owner herself, is a former Addictions Counselor. Dr K is their new doctor, and he is great. Other programs are focused on retention or numbers. This clinic is focused on your healing and empowerment. Folks that complain are more concerned about how to twist the program to their liking. This program works on getting you focused on yourself.

I love it there and I'm white....Never have any problems. Treat others how you wanna be treated is my saying...Well u actually learn that in school. I'm nice to them they don't bother me. You get slick or talk out the side of your mouth at them, then you'll have problems. Your not there to make friends your there to get your methadone and go k live a productive life...But some of these comments show me that a lot of people can not still live a normal quite drama free life... All I can say is WWWOOOWWWW!

BNJ Health Services at first glance may seem like it is a "hole in the wall" type of place. However, I can say that they are a great facility and the main thing I can say is they LISTEN to their patients. They don't just look at a chart and go make a decision without including you or the team. They work together very well and communicate effectively between the nurses, doctor, counselors, patients, and directors. The director(s) at BNJ services handle situations very well and you will always be in good hands.

In 2015, the Interroll Group announced its collaboration with the Department of Food Science at the University of Parma to carry out a comprehensive system comparison between two distinct drive technologies in the food processing industry: traditional gear motors against Interroll drum motors.
Comparison from hygiene to spare requirements
Under a research contract between the Interdepartmental Center SITEIA at the University of Parma and Interroll, Dr. Giampaolo Betta, contracted Professor at the University of Parma and Chairman of EHEDG Italy, and his research team conducted a far-reaching comparison along six evaluation criteria: hygiene, installation and maintenance, energy efficiency, noise, working temperature and space requirements.
"For this study, which included scientific measurements and experimental trials, our aim was to carry out a comparison between state-of-the-art components. We designed three distinct use cases to simulate the different areas of a food processing plant, from a washdown application to a packaging line. A total of 36 different experiments were run over a nine-month period and yielded interesting results, with the drum motor showing superior performance every two out of three trials," Betta explains.
Conclusion: Drum motor for a more hygienic and efficient conveyor system
From a food safety point of view, it was concluded that drum motors offer significant advantages in terms of hygienic design and cleanability in place, which not only reduces the risk of soil accumulation and cross-contamination but also results in time and cost savings due to shorter cleaning times.
Furthermore, the study confirmed concrete advantages of drum motors regarding installation and required space: As all components are embedded inside the drum motor, less parts are needed for installation and considerable space is saved. Dr. Giampaolo Betta says in his white paper:
Food safety is a critical matter for all players in the food processing industry but too often we still find gear motors that don't satisfy the key principles of hygienic design in areas where food is processed. Supposedly such choices are dictated by economic reasons. We hope that the research, which we were able to conduct with the support of Interroll, and the resulting study will be considered by decision-makers in the food industry as practical recommendation for their equipment choices regarding their processing and packaging lines

Reading vs Arsenal Online Stream
Reading vs Arsenal Preview:
On December 17th Reading welcomes Arsenal at the Madejski Stadium in Reading. Wenger will try to rehabilitate after shock cup defeat from Bradford City. The Gunners will be looking for three points, while Brian McDermott's team will be searching just second victory in this difficult season.
Reading are nineteenth in the league table with nine points sixteen games. They have won one, drawn six and lost nine matches. Their present form consists of five straight losses. Reading are in big trouble this season. They are in relegation zone and could fall away from the EPL. They are six points away from safety line and have the worst form of anyone in the league.
Arsenal goes the seventh in the EPL table with twenty four points from sixteen rounds, having six wins, six draws and four losses. In the last five matches they have two wins, two draws and one defeat. Arsenal and their head coach Wenger are under huge pressure. Especially after a terrible midweek lose in the League Cup to Bradford City. In the EPL Arsenal want to finish in the top-four as they want to qualify for the Champions League next year.
Reading forwards Jason Roberts and Pavel Pogrebnyak are both back. Jimmy Kebe is back in training after a groin injury and Jem Karacan is returning to fitness. But the most likely they will miss this game. Sean Morrison is still out of the game cause of an ankle injury. Danny Guthrie could return to the squad.
Arsene Wenger played without Olivier Giroud in Bradford, but forward could start in this game from the first minutes. Laurent Koscielny is still doubtful, but he returned to training on Friday. Theo Walcott has a calf problem, so he will probably miss this tie. Andre Santos with stomach muscle injury and Abou Diaby are long term injured.
Reading line-up: Federici, Cummings, Pearce, Mariappa, Shorey, McCleary, Leigertwood, Tabb, McAnuff, Hunt, Le Fondre.
Last three matches:
Sunderland 3 – Reading 0;
Southampton 1 – Reading 0;
Reading 3 – Man Utd. 4.
Arsenal line-up: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Arteta, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud.
Last three matches:
Bradford 1 – Arsenal 1;
Arsenal 2 – West Bromwich Albion 0;
Olympiakos 2 – Arsenal 1.

PTA Program Graduates Achieve Perfect First-Attempt Board Pass Rate; Student Achieves Perfect Score on Exam
|Members of the SCC PTA Program Class of 2013 achieved a 100% first-attempt pass rate on the national board examination. Members of the class are: Angela LaDeur, Richmond; Bethany Smahaj, Winchester; McKenzie Grey, Mount Sterling; Maegan Rogers, Hustonville; Brittany Terry, Thornton; Rebecca Jones, Somerset; Victoria Rose, Monticello; Matt Clouse, Somerset; Tawana Eastridge, Campbellsville; Shawn Frazee, Whitley City; Debbie Lasure, Stanford; Kathryn Barron, Science Hill; Jennifer Hanlon, Corbin; Emily Reddington, Mount Vernon; Kelli Edwards, Somerset; Megan Cox, Campbellsville; Justin Kinder, Lexington; and Caleb Shirley, Summersville.
We are so proud of the effort that this group has put forward over the past two years, said PTA Program Director Dr. Ron Meade. They have earned this pass rate.
This is the sixth year, out of the past seven, that the programs graduates have achieved this milestone. In 2012, only 53 of the 284 programs nationwide achieved a 100% first-attempt pass rate. This pass rate should place the program in a tie for a first place ranking by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy when the rankings are released next spring.
Several of the 2013 graduates have been recognized statewide and nationally. Debora Lasure of Stanford won several national awards, including: the American Physical Therapy Associations (APTA) Outstanding PTA Student Award; Section on Geriatrics Outstanding Student Award; Mary McMillan Scholarship Award; and Outstanding APTA Student Core Ambassador Award. Bethany Smahaj of Winchester was name the APTA Orthopaedic Sections National PTA Student of the Year and Justin Kinder of Lexington was elected to serve on the APTA Student Assemblys Board of Directors. Shawn Frazee of Whitley City was named to the Kentucky Physical Therapy Associations All-Academic Team and will be recognized by the association in the fall.
The class also participated in the winning effort in the 2012 and 2013 Pittsburgh-Marquette Challenge, a national fundraiser for physical therapy research, with the program being named Outstanding PTA Program by the Foundation for Physical Therapy for both years and was named the winner of the APTAs Student Assembly Challenge.
For the first time in the programs history, a program student received a perfect score on the examination. Bethany Smahaj of Winchester scored 800.
I am unaware of any student having scored this high in Kentucky or, for that matter, nationally, in the past, said Meade.
2013 PTA Program graduates include: Kathryn Barron, Science Hill; Matt Clouse, Somerset; Megan Cox, Campbellsville; Tawana Eastridge, Campbellsville; Kelli Edwards, Somerset; Shawn Frazee, Whitley City; McKenzie Grey, Mount Sterling; Jennifer Hanlon, Corbin; Rebecca Jones, Somerset; Justin Kinder, Lexington; Angela LaDeur, Richmond; Debbie Lasure, Stanford; Emily Reddington, Mount Vernon; Maegan Rogers, Hustonville; Victoria Rose, Monticello; Caleb Shirley, Summersville; Bethany Smahaj, Winchester; and Brittany Terry, Thornton.

I assume, you need some commands to embed into a korn shell script to get rid of title line…
If you want to keep all "non-title" lines, just use:
grep -v '^Title [0-9]*$' filename
If you want to extract a specific "chapter", you can use a combination of grep, sed, head, and tail:
grep -n '^Title [0-9]*$' filename > index
then, assuming you need chapter 12 :
grep -A 1 '^Title 12$' index | sed 's/:.*$//'
and you will have two lines with indexes of chapters 12 and 13 , which can be put into variables $index12 and $index13 and reused by tail and head:
tail +$[$index12+1] filename | head -$[$index13 – $index12 -1]
which will output the contents of chapter 12 without Title… headings. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with korn shell syntax to assist you with putting output in variables and passing the required chapter number from commandline, but can assure you this works perfectly in bash script using $1 for passing the script argument and back-quotes ( `…` , $(…) ) for capturing the grep | sed output.
If you are interested in bash script – feel free to write back, otherwise make some research in ksh capabilities and syntax.
Good luck,

The next chapter in the bitter disputes over subsidies in the aerospace sector has officially opened: Boeing won support from the U.S. Commerce Department for its argument that Bombardier sold its C Series to Delta Air Lines well below the cost of production and should therefore be subject to a 220% import tariff once—and now if—deliveries start in April. For the tariff to be imposed, the Commerce proposal has to be supported by the U.S. International Trade Commission ...

Protected Watersheds
More than 100,000 acres, a key part of the invisible system
- Ralph Naess, Public and Cultural Programs Manager
"It's a huge 'aha!' moment when people come up to our Cedar River Watershed Education Center. They see the mountains, and the lake and streams and waterfalls and ask in amazement, 'Is that my drinking water?' It's a beautiful thing: water with spirit."
The watershed and its water: two great resources
Two surface water sources provide our water: 65 percent from the Cedar River and 35 percent from the South Fork Tolt River. The system also has wells that weren't needed in 2017. These two surface water sources begin in the Cascade Mountains.
Since both watersheds are publicly owned, Seattle Public Utilities makes sure that the land and water is free of agricultural, industrial, residential and recreational use. This means that contaminants have little opportunity to enter the water, making our water some of the best in the nation, and requiring less treatment than most other cities.
More than forty people, including biologists and hydrologists, education staff, watershed inspectors, and maintenance people work to protect the watersheds. Watershed maintenance includes decommissioning roads to reduce run-off, improving culvert systems, and taking care of the forest, plants, fish and wildlife.
We get ongoing benefit from Seattle's early decision in the 1890s to protect the watershed and provide a gravity-fed clean mountain source of water for our region.
Come see the watershed
While the watershed is closed to public access, the Cedar River Watershed Education Center on Rattlesnake Lake in North Bend provides guided tours, exhibits and events to connect people to the source of Seattle's drinking water and its unique cultural and natural history. School field trips, educational events, volunteer opportunities and family programs bring the history, science and culture of the watershed alive. Visit the Education Center to learn more.

This year has been a tough one for jobs on the 495 beltway.
In January, the solar panel manufacturer Evergreen Solar announced it would close its Devens plant and slash 800 jobs. This month, Fidelity Investments announced it was closing its Marlborough firm, and was moving the 1,100 jobs out of state.
Both companies received financial incentives from the state. And both announcements sparked outrage, including from lawmakers — who have vowed to examine the incentives given to the companies. One of the lawmakers seeking a change to the law is state state Sen. James Eldridge, whose District includes Devens and Marlborough.

Dressed to Kilt
After seeing Lois Lane in a mini kilt this morning (far too early!) I'm in a Scottish kinda mood.
What a treat to open my inbox and find these stunning pictures released in celebration of last night's Dressed to Kilt event, in my fave city ever, NYC.
The annual event (yesterday's was the ninth instalment) showcases the work of new Scottish Designers and, with support from industry body Textiles Scotland, celebrates the Scottish fashion scene. These pics have certainly made me want to dig a bit deeper and find out what's going on North of the border.
Designers involved in the show included Jolomo Award winner Judy Clark with a Harris Tweed collection celebrating the Centenary of the Orb (the mark of authenticity that gets stamped on all Harris Tweed).
In the photo above check out Clark's Harris Tweed Centenary frock coat and lace dress, presented beautifully in her signature, vintage-tinged style. Clark creates with Scottish wools, Harris Tweed and hand-dyed Nepali silks to produce one-off pieces. Amazingly, the Harris Tweeds she uses are sent over from the Hebrides from her great-uncle Donald who produces the hand woven cloth on his loom in Shawbost. Wowsers.
Other Scots designers showing at the event included Claire McInally, whose frankly gorgeous grey cashmere and leather dress was shot at the Brooklyn Bridge.
And not forgetting Henrietta Ludgate, who scooped the Ethical Fashion Forum's Fashion Innovation Award at London Fashion Week SS2010. This neon pink dress looks simply sensational in Times Square – and not a bagpipe in sight *wink wink*

Bear swipes at, injures Pitkin County deputy
An off-duty Pitkin County sheriff's deputy was injured early Sunday morning when a bear swiped at her, authorities said.
Erin Smiddy was attacked around 2 a.m. while walking down an alleyway between Galena and Mill streets in Aspen, according to a statement from the Aspen Police Department. She was treated at Aspen Valley Hospital for injuries to her abdomen and leg and released, the statement said.
Sheriff Joe DiSalvo said Smiddy received stitches following the incident and is doing well. He said he will give her a few days off from work this week.
"She's sore, but she's fine," DiSalvo said Sunday evening. "She just surprised a bear near a dumpster. She's tough. I don't know who was more scared, her or the bear."
Police believe the same bear had been in a trash bin in the same alleyway about half an hour earlier. At that time, an Aspen police officer responded to a report of people crowding around the bear. The officer frightened the bear away using lights and sirens on his patrol vehicle, the statement said. The bear reportedly then fled through a courtyard near St. Mary's Church.
Immediately following the later attack, police alerted Colorado Parks and Wildlife of the situation, the statement said. The state agency was reportedly attempting to locate the bear Sunday. The so-called "three strikes" rule does not apply to bears that attack humans, and if found and identified, the bear could be euthanized, police said.
The department asked that the public take steps to prevent future incidents:
• If walking through town at night, walk in well-lit areas, and try to avoid locations such as alleys that might be attractive to bears by containing trash bins or grease traps from restaurants.
• If you see a bear, do not approach it, keep moving, and give the bear ample space. Although naturally docile, black bears can react unpredictably under stress from humans.
• If you encounter a bear unexpectedly, back away slowly, make yourself appear larger by raising your hands or pulling a jacket over your head, and make loud noises. Black bears are known to make false charges at people, so resist the urge to run, as this could trigger a chase response from the bear.
More information about bear encounters can be found online at http://www.aspenbears.com or by calling 970-429-1768.
Start a dialogue, stay on topic and be civil.
If you don't follow the rules, your comment may be deleted.

The mysterious hiatus is over and Dave's bandages have been removed as episode 80 of Dave Hill's Podcasting Incident is here like a goddamn freight train. This time around I sit down with Damien Neva from Next Model Management for one of the most glamorous episodes yet. Get your shit together as Damien and I sit down to discuss topics including but not limited to what I need to do to take my modeling career to the next level, how hard it is to get a decent cappucino in America, what male models talk about in their most private of moments, that shithole Milan, Drakkar Noir, how he hates the smell of pancakes, and about 500 other topics most people can't handle. In short, this one pretty much has everything, including my secretary Shaina Feinberg and Ian Ball's Hot Jamz. For more information on this podcast and other important Dave-related topics, please visit my website at www.davehillonline.com. Also, follow me on Twitter at @mrdavehill. I really need this.
Stay street,

Kyosho's Drone Racer is fantastic.
A group of 3 former mischievous boys are now around forty years old and senior. They have grown into the men they once looked up to as children, full of work and home responsibilities. They work late; get caught up in the hustle of city life, and maintain otherwise normal healthy lifestyles. Fast forward to the dawn of the Saturday on which they will get together again for the first time in ages. Preparing their Drone Racers and loading the car with other equipment (course), and then GO!
Unlike existing drones that are difficult to control, the sensational DRONE RACER is controlled like an R/C car with a pistol-grip transmitter. Takeoff and auto-hover with one-touch control using ultrasonic sensors that remove the frustration of learning complicated flying techniques. Now you can experience the fun of drone flying at your own pace.
The DRONE RACER is equipped with advanced ultrasonic sensors, 6-axis gyroscope (3-axis angle speed sensors, 3-axis acceleration sensors),
barometric pressure sensor and four fast response mini coreless motors. Speed switching function provides a choice between "Easy Mode" and "Active Mode" and
delivers direct intuitive flight control.
Altitude is automatically maintained with ultrasonic and barometric pressure sensors. Altitude setting of 35cm or 60cm can be selected with a switch on the R/C system and one-touch control is used for takeoff, hovering and landing. Some people may feel frustrated in learning drone flying techniques.Kyosho's newly developed technology*(patent pending) removes these barriers so anyone can enjoy the fun of flying drones. *according to Kyosho research
H-type chassis with split upper and lower sections and left-right propellers connected on one propeller arm allow the propeller unit angle to be changed between: 0°, 10°, 20°. Use more stability (0°/ max speed : 30km/h) or more speed (20°/ max speed : 34.5km/h) as a racing weapon.
The DRONE RACER is not designed for high altitude performance, but for people to enjoy flying safely within their field of vision near the ground. A total safety system includes: removable propeller guards; "PROPELLER AUTO STOP SYSTEM" that activates in case you lose control of the throttle; "ANGLE EMERGENCY AUTO STOP SYSTEM" if the drone becomes inverted, and "RADIO CUT EMERGENCY AUTO STOP SYSTEM" in case the radio signal is lost. Weighing only 130g, the DRONE RACER is not subject to the Japanese aviation law so you can fly freely anywhere you like (except in restricted areas).*as at aviation laws 10th December 2015
DRONE RACER can connect to your (Windows) computer with the included USB cable to adjust flight settings. In addition, an optional cable can also be used to connect to an Android terminal with a USB host function to adjust settings.
Download the free (DRONE RACER SETTING MANAGER) to adjust to your favorite setting and turn up the volume of fun.

Taxpayers Deserve Respect in Illinois Budget BattleSubmitted by DeFilippis Financial Group® on March 2nd, 2017
I have lived in Illinois my entire life. My business is here in Illinois and it is very likely my children will spend their lives as Illinois residents. Consequently, Illinois' current budget difficulties have me very concerned. I am especially disturbed that the Illinois Senate is currently contemplating a budget fix that would raise the income tax rate to 4.99%.

Madeleine L'Engle's novel A Wrinkle in Time was originally published in 1962. Hope Larsen adapted and illustrated this novel and published in 2012. I've not yet read the original, but I believe the text is comparable and the illustrations add another layer to the story.
This is a novel that I requested for my 8 year-old son to read. I recommend this to him and he read it in less than a day. Instead of waiting to get the original novel, I read the graphic novel in order to talk to him about it.
This novel follows a group of children who have to travel through time and space to save their father. Meg Murry is an ordinary child with an extraordinary brother Charlie. Their father has been missing for awhile and no one knows if he'll return. Charlie befriends their strange neighbors and another schoolmate of Megs, all of which have strange abilities that help them communicate with other people. Its some sort of telepathy and ability to see the future combined with extreme empathy and the ability to hop through the wrinkles in space and time. The other world that they find themselves is a negative utopia with mind control and order being the goal.
Having been written in the 1960's, there's probably a glimpse into communism and the Cold War that I didn't put much thought into while reading it. Its also a little similar to religions with one being knowing whats best for everyone, but I really read it with my 8 year-old in mind.
This was a fun, interesting read with a strong moral lesson that we need to stand up for what's right and we all have the power to do that. I plan on reading the non-graphic novel after it comes, and I may put more effort into the symbolism at that point. Or maybe, I'll just enjoy the read…
