Behind the Beautiful Forevers: What I'm reading now
[media-credit name="Random House" align="alignright" width="184″][/media-credit]
E-book fans are reading a third more books than print-only people, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center's Internet and American Life Project: about 24 books the past year, compared to about 15 by old-style print readers.
Interesting. Right now I'm a print-only diehard, voracious, and last year tried to count all the books I'd read, but stopped at the end of March, having clocked about 100.
I'm a huge fan of Denver Public Library. I order what I want online, then when I get the email that it's in hold section, I head across Civic Center Park on lunch break and pick it up. Sometimes there are wonderful surprises, like the time I was 94 on the wait list for Katherine Boo's hot new book on Mumbai, "Behind the Beautiful Forevers," but when I cruised my branch library in SoBo it was there on the shelf, so I snapped it up.
It is a stunning read, as reviewers have said. I'm so in awe of her ability to create a book that reads like fiction, a true page-turner, built totally from tiny details and years of reporting. I saw her interviewed on Charlie Rose, and learned more about her work process there, how it was hard for her to find translators to work with, as she worked weird hours around the clock and if she had to go to the slum at 3 a.m., so did the translator.
In that author interview you also learn about the amazing serendipity of reporting, how when she first met her main character, she had no idea that his life would lead her into the heart of the judicial system in India–that he would be falsely accused of a horrible crime, which ultimately forms the narrative spine of the book.
I'd been hearing on the BBC about hunger strikes in India against corruption, but her book really shows how that corruption works in the lives of slum dwellers, adding depth and context to news headlines.

in regulation on a goal by Josephine Pucci.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Christina Kessler made a career-high 37 saves and Josephine Pucci scored the first goal of her collegiate career, but the eighth-ranked Harvard women's hockey team dropped an overtime decision to No. 9 Princeton, 2-1, Saturday afternoon before 451 fans at Bright Hockey Center.
With the Crimson trailing 1-0 with 1:26 remaining in regulation, Harvard won a faceoff in the Princeton zone and Leanna Coskren moved the puck to Cori Bassett. Bassett found Pucci wide open at the top of the point, and the freshman defender took a hard slap shot that was still rising when it beat Princeton goaltender Rachel Weber, hitting the back of the net and tying the game.
In overtime, Princeton's Landry stole the puck at the Harvard blue line and skated in for a breakaway. Landry's shot hit the back of the net for the game-winning tally, coming with only 31 seconds to play in the extra session.
Princeton opened the scoring power-play goal just 3:56 into the action in the first period. Laura Martindale and Danielle DiCesare swung the puck around the zone, before Martindale took a slap shot from the left point. Landry tipped home the rebound past Kessler, giving the Tigers a 1-0 lead. In the second period, Harvard (2-3, 2-3 ECAC Hockey, 0-2 Ivy League) and Kessler withstood a barrage of shots, as the Tigers fired 16 shots on net in the frame, all of which were turned aside by the senior netminder.
Princeton (5-2-1, 4-1-1, 3-1) held the final count in shots, 39-26, but Harvard fired four of the five shots in the overtime period. The Tigers also won 40 of 71 faceoffs, while holding Harvard scoreless on five Crimson power plays. Harvard will host Quinnipiac Sunday at 1 p.m.

Read Full Review
The movie has done what those who've cherished the book might have thought impossible -- intensified its singular beauty by roving as free and fearlessly as Bauby's mind did.
Director Julian Schnabel and screenwriter Ronald Harwood have performed a small miracle in adapting for the screen Jean-Dominique Bauby's autobiography The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
Whereas the book was lyrical and moving, the movie is surrealistic and inventive.
The most beautiful movie ever made about a man who could only move one eyelid -- almost dangerously beautiful.

Subtitled drama takes paralyzed man's perspective.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this subtitled French drama offers a fairly sophisticated, though repetitive, look at a single paralyzed character's point of view. The camera takes his very limited perspective (through one eye) and shows his lusty fantasies and flashbacks (which include some passionate tongue kissing). There are repeated shots of cleavage and women's bottoms, as well as both bare breasts and buttocks (and, in one non-sexual scene, male genitals). In voice-over narration, the main character talks about his lack of mobility and active imagination, including his desires for sex and, occasionally, death.
Messages: Bauby regrets some earlier life choices: abandoning lovers, not spending time with his children, and indirectly causing a friend's imprisonment. After his paralysis, he's initially ironic and angry, then grows appreciative of women's efforts and his own father's pain.
Violence: Bauby suggests he'd like to die, at which point a therapist chides him for being selfish. Bauby remembers a past event when an associate was held hostage in Beirut (no images shown).
Sex: Partial female and male nudity (breasts/nipples, buttocks) during bed/love scenes. A man's genitals are shown in a non-sexual context. Repeated cleavage shots, as Bauby looks at his ex-lovers and therapists leaning in to him. Bauby fantasizes about a passionate meal and kissing and embracing a therapist. Slow-motion shot of nurses' bottoms as they walk. Bauby refers to his previous lusty life.
Language: Language includes uses of "s--t" and "damn" (in French with subtitles).
Consumerism: Not an issue
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Several instances of smoking; drinking and drunkenness in a flashback scene.

A memorial service in suburban Atlanta for Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of the late superstar Whitney Houston and ex-husband Bobby Brown, has ended.
The service for Bobbi Kristina Brown, 22, lasted about two hours and was attended by her father and other members of the Houston and Brown families. Pat Houston, Whitney's sister-in-law and former manager was also there.
The funeral was closed to the public, but dozens of well-wishers stood behind police barricades outside, Reuters reported.
Bobbi Kristina, who dreamed of growing up to achieve fame like her mother, died in hospice care July 26, about six months after she was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban Atlanta townhome. For Houston fans, the scene was grimly similar to the way her megastar mother had died three years earlier.
U.S. & World
She was found in the townhome she shared with Nick Gordon, an orphan three years older, whom Houston had raised as her own. Bobbi Kristina referred to him as her husband. A police report earlier this year described the incident as a drowning, and authorities are investigating her death.
In a statement after her death, Brown said the family must find a way to honor his daughter's memory.
"Krissy was and is an angel," he said. "I am completely numb at this time. My family must find a way to live with her in spirit and honor her memory. Our loss is unimaginable."
Bobbi Kristina was the sole heir of her mother's estate. She identified herself on Twitter as "Daughter of Queen WH," ''Entertainer/Actress" with William Morris & Co., and "LAST of a dying breed." She told Oprah Winfrey shortly after her mother's death in 2012 that she wanted to carry on Houston's legacy by singing, acting and dancing. But her career never took off.
In her short life, Bobbi Christina became a social media sensation, sending more than 11,000 tweets and attracting 164,000 followers.

A judge has dropped a misdemeanor battery charge against Gerard Butler.
Superior Court spokeswoman Mary Hearn says the charge was dismissed after a hearing Tuesday, with the move dependent on the actor completing community service.
Butler could have faced up to six months in jail if convicted.
His attorney Blair Berk declined to comment.
City prosecutors say the Scottish-born star of "300" had a run-in with a photographer on Oct. 7 after leaving a premiere party for the film "RocknRolla." His manager has said Butler was forced to have his driver stop the car after the photographer sped through red lights and almost struck two pedestrians.

Ziff '88 Head Coach for Harvard Men's Ice Hockey. He owns a 94-100-20 record, three ECAC title-game appearances and two NCAA tournament bids.
Last Weekend
A different Biega brother scored all of Harvard's goals each night, as the Crimson (3-11-0) suffered losses to its two oldest rivals. Michael Biega (Montreal, Que.) recorded a natural hat trick to rally Harvard from a two-goal deficit, but Brown scored twice in the third period to defeat the Crimson, 4-3, Friday at Bright Hockey Center in the 157th renewal of college hockey's oldest rivalry. Alex Killorn (Montreal, Que.) and Danny Biega (Montreal, Que.) assisted on Harvard's first two goals, and Ryan Carroll (Hackensack, N.J.) made 31 saves. Each team logged 35 shots.
No. 1 Yale scored twice on power plays to defeat Harvard, 4-2, in the teams' 231st meeting Saturday at sold-out Bright. Danny Biega scored both Crimson goals, cutting Yale leads to 2-1 in the second period and 4-2 in the third. Carroll made 35 saves, as the Bulldogs held a 39-31 advantage in shots.
Brother to Brother
Not only did brothers Michael and Danny Biega account for all five Harvard goals last weekend, they assisted each other on three of the five. Neither brother had previously assisted the other for a goal since playing on the same team for the first time last season. Michael was assisted by older brother Alex Biega '10 on two goals as a freshman and one last season.
All in the Family
A Biega brother has scored or assisted on each of the last six Harvard goals and eight of the last 10.
Dating Back to Last Season ...
Sophomore defenseman Danny Biega has registered seven goals and 11 assists in the last 22 games after recording one goal and two assists in the first 25 games of his rookie season.
Who's Hot?
Alex Killorn has registered a point in each of the Crimson's last nine games and 12 of the team's 14 overall games. He has four goals and six assists during his nine-game run.
Danny Biega has five points (2-3-5) in the last three games, while Michael Biega has six points (4-2-6) in the last five games.
Leading the Crimson
Alex Killorn leads Harvard with six goals and 13 points. He and Danny Biega (3-7-10) are tied for the team assists lead with seven each. Michael Biega (5-5-10) ranks second on the squad in goals and points.
Family Tradition
A Biega brother has led Harvard in assists in each of the last two seasons, Alex with 16 in 2008‑09 and Michael with 15 last season.
Power Surge
Harvard has power-play goals in three straight games, converting three of its last nine chances.
Protecting the Lead
The loss to Brown was the first time Harvard held a lead in a game and did not win. The Crimson was previously 3-0 when leading at any point.
Comeback Crimson
The Jan. 7 game against Brown was the second time in three games that the Crimson came back to take the lead after trailing by two goals in the second period. Harvard rallied from two goals down to defeat Army, 4-2, Jan. 1.
Hat Trick Facts
Michael Biega's hat trick against Brown was Harvard's first of the season and the second of his career. Biega previously scored all three goals—the first three of his career—in a 3-3 tie Nov. 28, 2007 at Yale. The last Crimson player to score three goals in a game was Conor Morrison (London, Ont.), who netted four in a 6-5 home loss to BU Nov. 24, 2009.
Last Season
Conor Morrison became the first Crimson player in more than a decade to tally four goals, but the Terriers scored with 19.5 seconds remaining in regulation and again at 2:42 of overtime to defeat Harvard, 6-5, at sold-out Bright Hockey Center.
Chris Connolly scored the overtime winner for the Terriers. Zach Cohen netted the tying goal less than a minute after Morrison's fourth goal put Harvard on top. Cohen and Joe Pereira scored twice each for BU. Kieran Millan had 21 saves for the Terriers.
Kyle Richter (Calgary, Alta.) made a career‑high 43 saves for the Crimson, and Daniel Moriarty (Bienfait, Sask.) logged a pair of assists for Harvard.
Series History
BU leads the all-time series against Harvard, 73‑62-6, but the Crimson holds a 49-47-6 edge in non-Beanpot games. Harvard is 2-2-1 in pre-Beanpot meetings under Ted Donato, including a 2-1 overtime win on a Doug Rogers '10 goal in the Crimson's last trip to Agganis Arena, Nov. 20, 2007.
The teams first met Dec. 13, 1922, a 2-0 Crimson win at the Boston Arena. Harvard won 15 of the first 16 meetings and in 1952 pulled out a 7-4 win in the inaugural Beanpot tournament championship. The Terriers have won the last six Beanpot meetings and hold a 26-13 series edge in Beanpot matchups.
Scouting the Terriers
BU (9-5-6) was unbeaten (6-0-4) in its first 10 games, climbing to No. 1 in the national polls. The Terriers are 3-5-2 since, but four of the losses came to nationally ranked opponents. BU is seeking its first win against an ECAC Hockey opponent. The Terriers suffered losses to Rensselaer, 4-2, and Brown, 6-1, and previously tied the Bears, 4-4. BU, which had Wednesday's game at Merrimack postponed due to snow, got two goals from Alex Chiasson in a 4-2 win Sunday at Vermont.
Alex Chiasson leads BU with 20 points. He shares the goals lead with Joe Pereira (8-5-13) and the assists lead with David Warsofsky (5-12-17) and Sahir Gill (4-12-16). Kieran Millan owns a .907 save percentage and 2.98 goals-against average in 16 starts.
Beanpot Preview?
Harvard and BU could meet again Feb. 14 in the second round of the 59th Beanpot tournament at TD Garden, home of the Boston Bruins. In the Feb. 7 opening round, the Crimson faces Northeastern and BU takes on Boston College.
In the Crease
Kyle Richter ranks 22nd nationally with a .919 save percentage and owns a 2.49 goals-against average. He has surrendered two goals or fewer in six of his 11 starts and has not allowed more than three goals in any game.
The Century Mark
Defenseman Chris Huxley (Weymouth, Mass.) is scheduled to skate in his 100th game for Harvard Saturday. He registered six goals and 21 assists in his first 99 games.
Michael Biega skated in his 100th game Nov. 19 at Princeton. He leads the Crimson with career totals of 27 goals, 40 assists and 67 points. Biega's 100th game was Harvard's 102nd as a team in his three-plus years.
The Other Century Mark
Ted Donato needs six wins to become the fourth head coach to lead Harvard to 100 victories. He is seeking to join Harvard legend Bill Cleary '56 (324 wins), Hockey Hall of Famer Ralph "Cooney" Weiland (315) and Ronn Tomassoni (140) in that exclusive club.
Help from the Blue Line
Defensemen have assisted on or scored 11 of Harvard's last 13 goals, totaling two goals and 11 assists in the last five games.
Clutch Performer
Alex Killorn has scored all three of Harvard's game-winning goals, including the lone goal with 8.2 seconds left on the clock against then-No. 18 Rensselaer Nov. 6. He is tied for fifth nationally in game-winners and shares the ECAC lead with two winning scores in league action.

NORFOLK, VA — Naval Station Norfolk's Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) committee introduced their newest trainers, Waterfront Fitness Specialists Jodie Byrkett and Susan Lowry, at an open house in late January.
"What we're doing is bringing activities to pier-side ships," says Byrkett. "We want to work with them to bring fitness activities to the fleet by offering fitness instruction, fitness training and fitness enhancement program guidance."
The new specialists will help bridge the gap between fitness on shore and at sea. New fitness equipment, offered by Naval Station Norfolk's MWR, will also help.
"I think the equipment is going to be key once we get onboard and go out to sea because we're not going to have the space to do a lot of the workouts we're used to doing right now," says Personnel Specialist 1st Class Paula Ryel, a fitness coordinator onboard the pre-commissioned nuclear aircraft carrier George HW Bush.
Representatives from amphibious transport dock ship Iwo Jima's MWR were also quick to take advantage of the new equipment.
"We repair our equipment on a daily basis underway," says Fire Controllman 2nd Class Andrea McClellan, president of MWR onboard Iwo Jima. "It's so heavily used. As soon as one person gets off, somebody else gets on."Naval Station Norfolk's MWR has high hopes for the future.
"I think this is a great way to look at the gaps between shore and ships," Byrkett says. "I think that there is a need out there for what we are doing, and I think it's going to be pretty successful."

Become the admin and purchase Office 365 for your organization
Microsoft makes it simple for people in your organization to sign up and use productivity tools and services without waiting for formal deployment by your IT department.
Your organization can let people continue to use these services "as is." But if people signed up for Skype Meetings as one of those services, you can assign an admin to upgrade and get a more complete meeting solution with Skype for Business and Office applications, file storage and sharing, and more.
Why become the admin and buy Office 365 for your organization?
When an employee signs up for Skype Meetings with their work account, they can't manage the service. And they get only the most basic features: they can have unlimited meetings but only with 10 or fewer participants (after 60 days, the maximum participants is three people).
When you set up an admin for the service and buy Office 365 for your users, they get more advanced features. And you get the ability to manage the services, so you can enforce policies and add new users.
As a bonus, you get 24/7 phone support.
How to become the admin
To become the admin, you'll first prove that you own the domain that people signed up with (like contoso.com). Then you'll upgrade to Office 365 for everyone in the company who is already using Skype Meetings. A wizard walks you through the steps.
Becoming the admin and upgrading to Office 365 are part of the same process. You can't upgrade without first becoming the admin, and you can't manage the services as an admin unless you also upgrade to Office 365.
Why do we ask you to prove that you own the domain? Because everyone who signs up with an email address on the same domain (say, email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com) is grouped together by the domain name. We decide what group each person belongs to by the domain portion of their email addresses (like 'contoso.com'), so people from the same organization can work together. Because they belong to the same group, they can collaborate with each other.
To become the admin for the group, you verify that you own the domain that everyone in your organization is grouped under. If you have the authority to prove domain ownership (by signing in where the domain is managed), it makes sense that you can manage Office 365 services for people using that domain.
After you become the admin, you can also add new users or enforce policies, if you like.
Overview of the steps
A wizard guides you through the process, but here's a summary of each step.
|Sign up Before you can become the admin, you must already be signed up for Skype Meetings with your work email address.
|Run the wizard After you've signed up, run the wizard by doing one of the following:
Run the Become the admin wizard that appears after selecting Admin in the app launcher .
Choose to Upgrade to Office 365 in Skype Meetings, and then select the Office 365 subscription you want to upgrade to.
|Verify domain ownership Next, you'll verify to Office 365 that you own or manage the domain name (like contoso.com) that's associated with your organization's email addresses. Only the owner of the domain name has the authority to do this.
|Buy licenses In the last step in the wizard, you'll buy Office 365 licenses for each person within your organization who's signed up for Skype Meetings with their work email.
For example, if two users have signed up for Skype Meetings with their work email, you'll need to buy two licenses—one for each of them.
> [!NOTE]> You can't manage Office 365 until after you've bought the licenses.
Your Office 365 subscription
After you've verified the domain and bought licenses, your organization is upgraded to Office 365. This also transfers (to the paid subscription) the personal settings from the Skype Meetings subscription that individual users were using.
The Office 365 subscription that your organization is upgraded to depends on which wizard you used:
|How the wizard was launched
|Subscription options
|By using the Admin tile in the app launcher
|Office 365 Business Essentials
|By choosing Upgrade to Office 365 in Skype Meetings
|Office 365 Business Essentials or Office 365 Business Premium
What's next?
Now that you're the admin, you may want to do the following:
|Add or remove licenses
|You can add more licenses for users who aren't using Office 365 yet, or remove licenses from users that you don't want using your organization's Office 365 subscription.
|Contact others who already signed up
|Reach out to the other users and let them know that you're managing their Office 365 subscription and that they've been upgraded. Follow these steps to see a list of Active Users and their email addresses.
|Start using Office 365
|Visit the Office 365 Learning Center and learn how to sign in, check email, share documents, and more. You and your users can use this site to get started with Office 365.
|Manage your Office 365 subscription
|Visit Office 365 Admin help center and learn common administrative tasks like adding and removing users, resetting passwords, and setting up mobile devices.

Today is October 22, 2011 and that means there is only nine more days left before we can dress up as our favorite characters and ask people for candy. I noticed that there was one thing that I didn't make for a lesson and it is something that many, many kids and adults dress up as during this holiday season. Here is a tutorial on "how to draw a Halloween devil", step by step. I was going to go with a simple little boy dressed up as a devil concept, but then I got to thinking that Halloween is supposed to be about monsters, and other scary or creepy characters. So, instead of making a person dressed up as a devil, I went ahead and made an actual devil. He is holding a pitch fork and even has hooves for feet. The concept for hoof style devil came from the beast in the movie 'Legend'. Even though this is not going to be a complex lesson, you will still have fun with it because it is after all a devil. I guess that is all I have to say, I'll let you try out drawing a Halloween devil for yourselves. Let me know if this tutorial was helpful or even fun by leaving a comment, rating, or faving. Peace people!

With economic concessions now widespread in the countryside, international donors must work harder to help Cambodia's ethnic minorities battle forced evictions and land grabs, a representative for these groups said. Yun Mane, chair of the Cambodia Indigenous Youth Association, is in Washington this week, meeting with international groups to push for more land rights for the indigenous. VOA Khmer's Sok Khemera, Washington.
Advocacy groups, environmentalists and policy-makers discussed for five days on events surrounding Mekong River issues in Washington. "Mekong Days," a series of talks, films and other events seeks to highlight issues in the region, where some 60 million people live. The Mekong River, a major source of food for many in the region, is currently under increased pressure from hydropower dam projects and the potential impact of climate change. Environmental advocates say the dams could hurt fish stocks in the river, even as temperature and rainfall changes threaten agriculture and livestock. (Sok Khemara, Washington)
The award-winning documentary on Cambodian development, "A River Changes Course," screened in Washington last month for an environmental film festival. The festival examined the impacts of globalization and environmental destruction. VOA Khmer's Men Kimseng spoke with filmmaker Mam Kalyanee to discuss how these issues are addressed by activists and decision-makers.
Housing rights activist Tep Vanny arrived in Washington this week to accept a leadership award. The Public Life Award was given to her by Vital Voices, an organization formed by former secretary of state Hillary Clinton. In a studio interview with VOA Khmer's Sok Khemara, the 31-year-old activist said she was honored to be recognized for her ongoing struggles to raise awareness of forced evictions that have left thousands of Cambodians homeless.
Though the government has approved the Lower Sesan 2 Dam project, affected villagers in Stung Treng province continue to rally against it. They want authorities to reconsider plans for the hydropower dam. VOA Khmer's Say Mony reports from northern Cambodia in Stung Treng province. The villagers living along the Sesan river in Stung Treng province say they do not want to see the Lower Sesan 2 dam erected on the river, where generations of Cambodians have supported families by fishing and rice farming. Noy Phut is a fisherman here in Srek Kor village of Sesan district. He says if built, the dam would disrupt his ability to support his family by fishing. "Of course, there will be nothing,'' Noy Phut said.
Environmental activists are working to conserve a rare turtle that lives in three provinces of northeastern Cambodia. The Asian giant softshell turtle, a freshwater species called "frog head turtle" in Khmer, is disappearing from Southeast Asia, but a good number of specimens have been found living along the Mekong River in Cambodia. "They are in a critical situation," said Sun Yoeung, a project officer at Conservation International, as he toured the river last week. Around 2,600 of the turtle species are thought to be living along the river. VOA Khmer's Kong Sothanarith reports from Stung Treng.


text: Liberty was able to avenge an earlier loss to UNC Asheville, Thursday evening at the Vines Center, thanks in large part to starting post players Katelyn Adams and Ashley Rininger. Both fashioned double-doubles during the Lady Flames' 64-49 triumph. Adams (13 points, 13 rebounds) and Rininger (20 points, 11 rebounds) fueled Liberty's dominance down low. The Lady Flames dominated the Bulldogs in rebounding (48-28), points in the paint (38-14) and second-chance points (21-10). As a result, Liberty improves to 16-10 overall and 12-5 in Big South play. Now in sole possession of third place in the conference standings, the Lady Flames clinched a first-round bye in the Big South Women's Basketball Championship. Asheville falls to 10-16 overall and 7-10 in the Big South with its fifth straight road loss and seventh straight setback at the Vines Center. The Bulldogs, who have still never defeated Liberty twice in the same season, shot just 28.8 percent (15-of-52) on the evening. Three-pointers by Emily Frazier and Jaymee Fisher-Davis keyed an early 11-0 run by the Lady Flames, which put Liberty ahead for good. Mickayla Sanders' mid-range jumper finished off the surge with Liberty on top, 19-7, 12:04 before halftime. The Lady Flames' lead reached 14 points (25-11) prior to an 8-2 spurt by Asheville. Jeannie Buckner bookended the run with three-pointers, including one which cut her team's deficit to 27-19 at the 6:12 mark. The black-clad Bulldogs continued chipping away at Liberty's advantage, pulling to within five points twice late in the half. Adams then closed out a strong first half with a putback hoop which gave the Lady Flames a 37-28 halftime edge. Aided by 22 points in the paint and 14 second-chance points, Liberty shot 51.6 percent (16-of-31) from the field before halftime. Meanwhile, Asheville connected on only 34.5 percent (10-of-29) of its first-half field goal tries. Adams' seven rebounds helped Liberty build a 23-13 rebounding advantage during the first 20 minutes. The Minnesota native also tallied 10 points to pace all first-half scorers. Buckner and Leah Wormack notched six points apiece for the visiting Bulldogs prior to the intermission. Asheville did not make a field goal for the first 6:10 of the second half. Rininger scored eight points during that time, helping bolster Liberty's lead to 47-29. The Lady Flames then went eight minutes without a made field goal, enabling the Bulldogs to pull to within 13 (48-35) after a 6-1 surge. Asheville got as close as 11 points behind, when Tianna Knuckles' three-point play made it a 55-44 game with 4:10 left. But a comeback was not in the cards for the Bulldogs, who made only five second-half field goals. The Lady Flames closed out a 15-point win and improved to 48-8 all-time against Asheville. Liberty finished the contest at 44.1 percent (26-of-59) from the floor. Fisher-Davis accounted for two of the Lady Flames' three triples on the evening, helping Liberty outscore its opponent in bench points for the 10th straight outing, 14-12. Rininger scored 14 second-half points during her seventh 20-point outing of the season. The Buckeye State native also tallied her 14th double-double of the season, establishing a new program sophomore-class single-season record. Adams' double-double was her second in as many games against Asheville this year. She now has five double-doubles this season and seven in her career. Simone Brown chipped in eight points and five rebounds during her second start in a row. Frazier distributed a team-high four assists, leaving the redshirt junior two shy of 300 for her career. For the Bulldogs, Wormack and Brittany Gwyn led the way with 10 points each. Knuckles collected a team-best five rebounds, while Ja'Da Brayboy topped all players in assists (5) and steals (4). Asheville's leading scorer and rebounder on the season, Paige Love, was limited to three points and one board on Thursday. Liberty will wrap up its 2013-14 regular-season home schedule Saturday at 7 p.m., when Big South-leading Winthrop (20-6, 14-3 Big South) visits the Vines Center. The Lady Flames will attempt to complete a season sweep of the Eagles, after recording a 77-70 overtime win at the Winthrop Coliseum on Jan. 16. Liberty has won 21 straight home meetings with Winthrop.

A Pizza My Mind: In Praise of Delivery
Delivery's not good for pizza. Sitting in a cardboard box, the pizza steams, the crust softens, that crisp edge melting into the sauce. Great pizza is a fleeting thing once it leaves the fiery oven, and it doesn't wait for your convenience.
But I had a good thing going until a few short months ago: I lived within delivery distance of Motorino in the East Village of NYC. In fact, from my little shoebox of an apartment on St. Marks Place, it was faster to get pizza delivered from Motorino than it was to go there in person, wait for a table, order, and wait for your pie to appear.
I'm not saying the pies were completely unaffected by the four-block journey, but it held up darn well. It was an easy dinner when I was working late. It was the perfect sponge for bottles of wine or beer I had on hand. The crust was charred and stretchy and flavorful, even if the center was a little soft on a saucy pie. And now, having moved across the country, I'm in pizza mourning.
It's not that there isn't a good pie to be found in San Francisco. There's UPN, of course, and Flour + Water, and quite a few solid bets I haven't even been to yet.
But San Francisco is a town that seems willing to wait in line for its pizza. Like, for hours. People wait in line so long at Flour + Water that they get completely inebriated ordering glass after glass of wine as they stand around. (I guess that's the point, and it's a smart move on the restaurant's part, unless they don't want all their customers getting drunk...)
Delivery culture as a whole just isn't that prominent in my new city. So it seems my top notch pizza delivery days have passed. Unless you've got a tip for me. Is there a pizzeria you love that delivers to the Mission?

Pharmacy's Chemical Dependency Awareness Program Has Long Been Ahead of the Curve
The Mylan School of Pharmacy was ahead of the curve when it first started conducting its Chemical Dependency Awareness Program 28 years ago. Today, the program—which continues to be mandatory for all third-year pharmacy students—serves not just to educate and raise awareness, but also as a model for other schools across the county.
"Approximately one in eight people in the general population are going to be affected—most likely directly—by alcoholism or drug abuse at some point in their life," said Dr. John Tomko, clinical assistant professor of pharmacy, who coordinates the annual program. "What is important about this program is that we want our students to get a better understanding of substance abuse disorder as a disease, but also to be aware of sources of help if they have a problem or know someone who may have a problem."
The daylong program serves as an introduction to the subject for pharmacy students prior to their taking related courses in their curriculum. "Substance dependence or addiction, if you will, is so prevalent in society," explained Tomko. "Often, people think they know what it is, but they really don't understand the disorder itself."
Topics addressed include the disease model of addiction; behavioral changes by those affected by it; the incidence of the disorder; and the neurochemistry behind drugs of abuse and what they actually do to the brain.
In addition, a segment outlines the resources of help that are available such as SARPH (Secundum Artem Reaching Pharmacists with Help), which is the Pennsylvania Peer Assistance Program for the pharmacy profession, on-campus sources and other community resources. The program also includes a presentation on the premise of 12-step programs, the legal implications directly impacting pharmacists, and ways to recognize addiction in other professionals/peers and in people in general and how to get the help that is needed.
Dean Dr. Doug Bricker presents on what the School of Pharmacy offers through its Office of Student Services to students who may have issues with addiction. Another session conducted by a specialist addresses interventions.
The program concludes with a presentation by a current pharmacist who is in recovery. "When we have the pharmacist who is in recovery speak, that is usually the most impactful part of the day because everything the students have heard or learned that day is summed up in one person who is still working and practicing pharmacy," said Tomko.
The School of Pharmacy serves as a leader in the nation when it comes to educating students to this extent about addiction disorders, with many of the schools of pharmacy utilizing Duquesne as a model, according to Tomko.
"We do a student evaluation at the end of the program, and the students take away different things, which is our goal—we want them to leave that day knowing more than when they came in and we want to blow away some stereotypes that are out there. We want to de-stigmatize this and get people to say 'Yes, this is an illness and yes, it can be treated.'"
Duquesne University
Founded in 1878, Duquesne is consistently ranked among the nation's top Catholic universities for its award-winning faculty and tradition of academic excellence. Duquesne, a campus of nearly 9,500 graduate and undergraduate students, has been nationally recognized for its academic programs, community service and commitment to sustainability.

OCEAN CITY – Nestled along the streets in downtown in
Ocean City are all kinds eateries where someone, with enough perseverance, is
bound to eventually come across something that will strike their fancy. Some
establishments work hard in an attempt to be different and offer only the most
exotic of items where as others take the opposite approach and offer the most
basic of meals with a taste of home to give off that feeling of familiarity.
Such is the basis for Kathy's Olympia Country Kitchen, a
quaint, little restaurant, located between 7th and 8th streets on Philadelphia
Avenue. Owned and operated by Kathy Witmer, her Olympia Country Kitchen has
called Ocean City home for almost four years now.
Witmer said she first came to the United States from her
humble village in Greece in 1969 to live with her uncle in Carlisle, Pa., when
she was just 14 years old. It was then that she began her foray into the
restaurant business by washing dishes for a local restaurant.
From there, Witmer said she worked her way up through
various jobs over the years until she was eventually back in the kitchen,
prepping and cooking food, a skill she would hone for years afterwards.
However, it was not long until Witmer eventually found herself running a
restaurant of her own in Carlisle called the Olympia Family Restaurant, a name
that also might ring familiar with residents of Berlin.
After 27 years of living in Carlisle, Witmer came to Ocean
City with her husband at the time and worked a short stint at the Bayside
Skillet before the pair finally opened the Olympia Family Restaurant in Berlin.
Specializing in the foods she had learned to cook to
culinary perfection over the years, Witmer said her customers became more than
just paying patrons.
"My customers became a family over the years, not just
customers," she said. "I would be lost without people."
However, as every owner knows, running a business takes a
lot of time and effort, and when one has been in the industry as long as
Witmer, things only get a little easier with experience. After putting in over
100 hours a week for eight years at her restaurant in Berlin, Witmer said she
needed a break.
Thus Kathy's Olympia Country Kitchen in Ocean City was
born. In order to get the reprieve she deserved from years in the kitchen,
Witmer now only offers breakfast and lunch.
Breakfast, Witmer's favorite meal, is served throughout
the day and her menu offers all kinds of goodies, from local favorites such as
scrapple to well-known stovetop creations like the omelet. Plus, when it comes
to omelets, Witmer has it all, offering them made to order or from a selection
of 18 other different kinds, one of which is named after her.
Kathy's Olympia Omelet, one of the most popular omelets
among returning customers according to Witmer, is made with bacon, mushrooms
and feta cheese topped with tomato marinara sauce.
If having breakfast for lunch isn't your forte, there are
also a wide variety of both hot and cold subs, sandwiches, home fries made in
house, and even salads such as the Greek salad, featuring fresh veggies, feta
cheese and the Country Kitchen's homemade dressing.
As for the time Witmer has spent within the industry, she
said she has been in it for 36 years now and has always taken pride in what she
And it shows.
"There was a need for me to work in the industry when I
came so I stuck with it," she said. "I enjoy it, it's not a job for me, it's
like a person buying a new toy. You figure out how to run it and go with it."
Having her business downtown keeps Witmer hopping, she
said, especially during the summer, her favorite time of the year.
"I like to stay busy and I like to keep moving because
time moves fast and before you know it summer is gone," she said. "I don't like
slow-paced periods, that's the worst."
As for her future, Witmer said she has no plans to retire
anytime soon.
"I know there is a time when you got to slow down but as
far as I'm concerned I don't look to retire," she said.

Our weekly college football shame index previews the New Year's Day bowl games.
Taxslayer.com Gator Bowl: Mississippi State (8-4) vs. Northwestern, (9-3), noon EST
In 2013, I'd like to run a 5K in 16 minutes. What else can happen in that span of time? Sixteen minutes is all that stood between Northwestern and an undefeated record, as the Wildcats blew fourth-quarter leads in all of their losses this season. Sixteen minutes is also how long Pat Fitzgerald can hold a compact car over his head. After that, the unwilling passenger inside has usually summoned the police.
Those losses were probably just bad luck, no? Given that Northwestern averaged five yards a carry this year in quarters one through three but only 3.96 in fourth-quarter play and allowed seven passing touchdowns in all fourth quarters combined compared with only nine in the first 45 minutes of games, yes, it was just bad luck.
I'm going to this game but it's my first time in Jacksonville. What can you tell me about this fine city? Jacksonville was recently voted America's Best City for Homeless Murders, as victims and as perpetrators.
Mississippi State is the SEC team, but let's assume they're at risk of losing. How might that happen? Lousy pass defense. In their wins, the Bulldogs held every team they faced below eight yards per throw and tallied 14 picks against seven touchdowns. Every team that beat MSU, however, averaged more than eight yards per passing attempt, and Bulldog interceptions dropped to two while opponent touchdowns ballooned to nine.
Heart of Dallas Bowl: Purdue (6-6) vs. Oklahoma State (7-5), noon
I want my future son to be a major part of the Purdue offense, because I don't like kids. What should I name him? Akeems Shavers and Hunt are responsible for 56 percent of Purdue's rushing yards and 62 percent of its rushing touchdowns. It would be absurd, of course, to ask the Boilermakers to recruit only offensive players named Akeem. Just take the easy route and force all the players to change their names.
What is the Heart of Dallas? A prized relic made from the cheeks Jerry Jones had two faces ago, the Heart of Dallas has the power to grant the holder's deepest wish, so long as that wish is for 50 percent off at the Guess Factory Store Outlet.
Oklahoma State is a throwy team, but just HOW throwy? The Cowboys are the only FBS program with three different quarterbacks who threw for 1,000 yards this year—that's how throwy. In news that is only related because I am mean-spirited, Auburn had zero quarterbacks who threw for 1,000 yards.
What can you tell me about Purdue's interim coach for this game? Patrick Higgins steps into the head spot in place of recently fired Danny Hope, but this is not his first promotion of 2012. Higgins was named interim offensive coordinator in November after Gary Nord was hospitalized with a severe back injury. We predict Purdue athletic director Morgan Burke will find himself jailed under suspicious circumstances three hours before kickoff.
Capital One Bowl: Georgia (11-2) vs. Nebraska (10-3), 1 p.m.
Jarvis Jones? JARVIS JONES. Second in the nation with 12.5 sacks, Jones has recorded a tackle for loss in every game he's appeared in. Containing him has to be top priority for the Huskers, who averaged four sacks allowed in their losses this year. Let Jones run free in the backfield, and Nebraska is totally boned.
What's the counterpunch Bo Pelini can employ? The running game, and plenty of it. In Ameer Abdullah, Rex Burkhead, and Taylor Martinez, the Cornhuskers have three players who averaged at least 70 yards per game. The Dawgs were fairly pedestrian this year, allowing opponents to run for 4.1 yards per carry, and they'll be without the services of tackle John Jenkins, who was suspended for poor grades/illegally being a mountain.
Is there some sort of ridiculous Florida entertainment associated with this game? Naturally. The Orlando Citrus Parade features a variety of floats made almost entirely from the state's rich agricultural bounty and was first started so rich Floridians could flaunt their wealth and deprive the poor of Christmas treats.
This worked better when oranges and nuts were actually good Christmas treats.
So which team will actually walk away victorious? These are Nebraska's records in Bo Pelini's first four years as head coach: 9-4, 10-4, 10-4, 9-4. This is Nebraska's current record: 10-3. Pick Georgia, because gambler's fallacy is real and it kills.
Outback Bowl: South Carolina (10-2) vs. Michigan (8-4), 1 p.m.
Look, you like to throw a lot of random statistics out there. Can't you just admit numbers are meaningless? Yes, and now I will use them to show you why. Eleven teams threw more interceptions than touchdowns this year, and most of them were the pitiful shamblewrecks you'd guess—Kansas, Illinois, USF, for example. Only one of those 11 made a bowl game. That one? Your Michigan Wolverines.
I don't like what you did there, but you're saying Michigan should just run instead? Well, that's not a great option, either. Only Utah State allowed fewer runs of 20 yards or more this season than the Gamecocks, and LSU's Jeremy Hill was the only player to rush for 100 yards against South Carolina.
As a Michigan fan, just the idea of Tampa offends my delicate sensibilities. Is there anything of remote interest to a gentleperson of my station? How about the Home Shopping Network headquarters in nearby St. Petersburg? Think of the collectible dolls and loose gemstones you can get ahead of everyone else! You'll be the talk of the Domino's.
Would a win here even matter that much to Steve Spurrier? It would be the ninth bowl victory of his career, moving him ahead of Phil Fulmer, whom Spurrier would undoubtedly prank call pretending to be the San Diego Chargers.
Rose Bowl: Wisconsin (8-5) vs. Stanford (11-2), 5 p.m.
How can the five-loss Badgers be the best the Big Ten has to offer? Who exactly would you prefer in this slot? The Nebraska team they turned into a public seminar on arson techniques? A Michigan State team that thinks consecutive forward passes is "letting the terrorists win?" MINNESOTA?
What makes Stanford's defense so good? For one thing, Stanford gets a ton of pressure on the quarterback. The Cardinal leads all teams with 56 sacks; this is the first defense since Nebraska's 2005 team to average at least four sacks a game.
Maybe Wisconsin can punt Stanford to death? Considering Stanford's Drew Terrell was second in his conference with 12.61 yards per punt return, no, that's not a good plan. It gets worse when you realize the Badgers have only one victory this year when they punt the ball more than five times. Sometimes we wonder if you're Big Ten at all, Wisconsin.
Why is the Big Ten so obsessed with the Rose Bowl anyway? Pasadena is where Jim Delany fell in love for the very first time. The year was 1968, and her name was Beatrice. She was a California Department of Motor Vehicles Employee Manual, but their romance was not to be, thanks to a milkshake and some clumsy hands.
Orange Bowl: Northern Illinois (12-1) vs. Florida State (11-2), 8:30 p.m.
How can you explain the injustice of this team participating in a BCS game? It's unbelievable. You beat one ranked team and manage to sneak your way out of a tinker-toy conference that impresses nobody and suddenly you get to play in the Orange Bowl? Florida State should be ashamed of itself.
So what can we expect out of this game? Turnovers seem like a given, as there have been at least three between both teams in each of the last seven games the Seminoles have played.
Why is NIU quarterback Jordan Lynch so cocky about this matchup? You're sort of allowed to be when you're in the top 20 for yards per passing attempt and the top 15 for yards per rush among players with at least 100 carries. Of course, none of those runs or passes came against Bjoern Werner, the nation's sack leader and the only surviving terrorist from Nakatomi Plaza.
Can't I just get a refund on my tickets? Caveat emptor, buddy.

Clinical Pathologists
If you've ever provided a urine or blood sample, you've worked with a clinical pathologist — you probably just didn't know it. They work behind the scenes in laboratories to examine bodily fluid specimens and detect substances or diseases. This means they're required to have a comprehensive knowledge of disease and what it looks like under a microscope.
They provide test results to your doctor, who then makes an informed decision about your diagnosis and the best treatment options for you. Without the work of clinical pathologists, doctors technically wouldn't be able to diagnose patients as accurately as we can today. It's also worth noting that clinical pathologists are different from anatomical pathologists, who analyze tissue taken from a biopsy or entire infected areas as well as whole body parts.

Jamaica and reggae. They go hand in hand.
Since the 1960s, the laid-back, feel-good music has transcended the islands borders and is enjoyed by the world. From Tokyo to London to Honolulu, reggae has a global influence.
Late icons such as Bob Marley and Peter Tosh and the very much alive Toots and the Maytals helped make that happen. They brought reggae to the average listener, and shared their stories of toil and strife, as well as the joys of living in Jamaica, to an international level. Ever since, the genre has been synonymous with those names.
Tonight, the Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College will host Toots and the Maytals. And not only will one of reggae and skas biggest legends, Frederick Toots Hibbert, be in Durango. This is the first-ever acoustic tour for the band, which is remarkable when considering Toots is 66 years old and has been performing since the early 1960s.
I cant wait. Ive never done it before, so were going to do it now and people are going to remember it, Toots said by phone from Kingston, Jamaica.
Toots enthusiasm for music is apparent and, so far, it doesnt seem like he has plans to slow down. Hes currently working on multiple projects.
These days, Im working on about three albums, reggae, ska, R&B, you know, the classics, Toots said. Music is part of my life. Its my train, so I have to keep going that way.
On the phone, Toots presents a happy mood. He says that staying positive is the most important thing.
And, in Toots case, that means staying positive even when you have to spend about a year in jail for a crime you believe you didnt commit.
In 1966, the Maytals first U.K. tour was canceled when Toots was arrested and jailed on marijuana-possession charges. Toots denies any wrongdoing and says that it could have been all politics that put him behind bars.
It was after playing a festival in Kingston that his song Bam Bam took off, and Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records, scheduled him for the U.K. tour. Blackwell, a prominent record producer in the reggae industry, also went on to give Marley a record deal, as well as U2.
At the time, Toots was in his early 20s, much younger than some his predecessors who had yet to make their mark on the music industry.
But through his experience, he was able to score another No. 1 hit, 54-46 Thats My Number, which he wrote while in jail. There, he says, life wasnt bad. He was fed and clothed, and was allowed to play music for his fellow inmates.
They gave me a guitar, and I had regular visitors who supported me in the end, Toots said.
And well-loved he was. Toots was given his nickname by his older brother as a baby, he said.
Toots was born before reggae, a genre he went on to master, was formally named. There are a few theories on how the term reggae was coined. In 1968, he released the song Do the Reggay, which was the first time it was used, Toots said. Before the term was coined, people referred to reggae as boogy beat or doo beat.
No one knew what to call it till I used the word reggae. It stuck. I never planned it. I took it from the word streggae, which describes a good-looking girl, Toots said.
Since the 60s, hes recorded so many albums, he cant even count them all. But hits like Pressure Drop, Funky Kingston and Monkey Man are staples of his career.
Toots True Love album won a Grammy award for Best Reggae Album in 2005. It includes collaborations with Willie Nelson, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton and others.
Along with love, Toots says the message is simple in his music. My music is about doing what you have to do and never giving up on yourself, never getting weary, believing in God and being sure youre doing the right thing, Toots said.
As for the unplugged set tonight, he assures that his band will be entertaining as usual. We never let the audience down musically. My music inspires and makes peoples lives turn around.

Nuremberg Code
The Nuremberg Code was introduced in August 1947, after the Nuremberg trials. In these trials, Nazi doctors were convicted of the crimes committed during human experiments on concentration camp prisoners. It attempted to give clear rules about what was legal and what was not when conducting human experiments.
The code consists of ten points. The first and most important is that anyone participating in an experiment must give informed consent. This means nobody can be forced to participate in human experiments. All participants must understand the potential risks.
The code also gives rules for running the experiments. For example, participants can leave the experiment if they want. Doctors must stop the experiment if they realise it can harm the patient. Also, no experiment can be made where the risks outweigh the benefits that can be had from it.

Public Housing
Albuquerque Housing Authority offers assistance to low income residents in the City of Albuquerque. AHA receives federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide these services.
In this capacity, Albuquerque Housing Authority is the owner and manager of approximately 950 housing units scattered throughout Albuquerque. These units provide decent housing for low income families, the elderly and disabled individuals at rents they can afford.
Tenants of public housing units pay 30% of their income toward their rent, then any additional costs are subsidized with federal funding.
Valuable Source of Affordable Housing
The Public Housing program is a valuable source of affordable housing, especially for Albuquerque's elderly and disabled population.
Thirty percent of Albuquerque Housing Authority's Public Housing participants are elderly or disabled. These families, on average, have annual incomes of less than $8,000 a year, and often have no other source for housing.
Albuquerque Housing Authority's Public Housing communities include 373 units designated specifically for elderly and disabled citizens.

HE fled Afghanistan with his mother and brother at the height of a bloody civil war, arriving in Australia a child refugee.
Now, 25-year-old Akram Azimi is 2013 Young Australian of the Year with a deep connection to his adopted country.
He was picked as an inspiration for his work mentoring people with disability and in indigenous communities, the latter beginning with a trip to a community in the Kimberley in Western Australia that he hoped would provide some adventure.
"What I did not know was that when I met those kids I was going to fall in love with them. I was going to fall in love with that community, I was going to fall in love with that landscape," he told reporters in Canberra.
He says since then every time he heard a fact about indigenous Australians he could imagine the face of a small child he had met.
"That has compelled me ever since to do all that I can to share with non-indigenous Australians the beautiful and rich culture that we are surrounded by."
For three years, Mr Azimi mentored young indigenous Australians in the remote community of Looma in the Kimberley, and primary school students in a small farming community in the WA wheat belt.
In 2011, he co-founded a student-run initiative to raise awareness about indigenous issues in universities, and has also worked with the True Blue Dreaming, a youth mentoring network.
Mr Azimi is also mentoring a Special Olympics athlete to raise public awareness about disability issues.
He was born in Kabul in 1987 and fled with his family in 1999 after the Taliban viciously consolidated its power in the country through a vicious civil conflict involving warring tribal factions.
At first he was "an ostracised refugee kid with no prospects", but Mr Azimi later excelled.
He went on to study a triple major in law, science and arts at the University of Western Australia.
His family has thrived since arriving in Australia as refugees and they have been treated with warmth and generosity.
"This (award) says something wonderful about our nation, that someone who looks like me can be held up as a role model to all other Australians."
After his name was announced, he had a special thanks for Prime Minister Julia Gillard for her leadership on polio eradication.
"You have saved so many kids from a lifetime of suffering," Mr Azimi said.
He says he is alive because Australian taxpayer dollars helped vaccinate children in war-torn Afghanistan and he will do everything he can to ensure all children can live free from polio. – AAP

Commissioners to hear Kingbsury Grade report
A presentation on work proposed for Kingsbury Grade this summer is scheduled for Thursday's meeting of the Douglas County Board of Commissioners at Stateline.
The project is to repave nearly four miles of the grade from the summit down to where it meets Highway 50.
The state has budgeted $8.2 million to complete the project, but members of the State Transportation Board were told Monday that those costs could soar to $14 million to $15 million.
Of more interest to residents and local government is how the state will limit traffic over the only direct link between Carson Valley and Lake Tahoe.
Two options under consideration depend on the length of the construction schedule.
The construction schedule could be shortened to 18 months by closing parts of the grade six days per week before Memorial Day and after Labor Day. Under that option the highway would be closed at the summit to regular traffic, allowing only emergency, construction and public transit traffic. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day work would be done at night with one lane closed from Pine Ridge Drive to Highway 50.
Under the three-year option, work would be done May 1 to Oct. 15 with 24-hour traffic control Monday through Friday and one-way alternating traffic.
Delays would be around 30 minutes when the road was open.
Should the state close Kingsbury, motorists could take Highway 50 over Spooner or go through Hope Valley and over Luther Pass. Handling local and emergency traffic will also have to be worked out.
The road work includes going down 13 inches, including the pavement and the base, and rebuilding the highway. The last time crews worked on the Lake side of Kingsbury it was 1999.
Project Manager Pedro Rodriquez will make the presentation to county commissioners.
According to the state, about 5,000 vehicles a day travel over Daggett Summit.
The last major project on Kingsbury was the $6.8 million Peek Construction erosion control project which started in 2009, and continued through 2011 when work stopped.
Peek sued the state in January 2012 claiming it was owed $3 million.

A lot of people, when they think about Greek food, immediately think of souvlaki, roast lamb etc. In fact, Greece has a lot of wonderful vegetarian dishes. Below is just one possibility for a meal. I will try to regularly post possible meals (not just vegetarian) based on the recipes given in this blog. Requests are most welcome.
All of these dishes (apart from the cake) should be placed on the table for everyone to help themselves. This meal would be suitable for 6 people.
Vegetarian Moussaka
I find this an excellent main dish and many non-vegetarians have said that they prefer it to the Moussaka with the meat.
I find this an excellent main dish and many non-vegetarians have said that they prefer it to the Moussaka with the meat.
Artichoke Pie
A light, healthy accompanying dish.
Below are tasty side dishes from which people can help themselves to as much as they want.
Eggplant Dip
(Spicy Cheese Dip)
You can also include a traditional Greek Horiatiko (Village) Salad. This is really simple and consists of roughly chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, feta cheese and olives. You can also add chopped onions if you wish (I don't!). Add salt and olive oil and sprinkle some oregano on top if you want.
After the meal and after you have digested (partly, at least!), you can have some delicious Walnut Cake (Karidopitta) to go with your coffee.
Eat And Enjoy!

A great review (on a GREAT blog), by Nelson Tucker, "The Wine Guy"
Bourassa Vineyards
2010 Harmony ³ (Napa Valley)
An intriguing version of Napa Valley's answer to this Bordeaux blend. Right off the bat I was pleased with the dark purple color, floral and spice aromas, and rich, spicy, ripe dark cherry and berry flavors that followed.
This wine is expected to age nicely over the next ten to fifteen years. These grapes were picked at the right time to produce a well structured wine. It is a beautiful wine for sipping or with prime rib or rich and spicy pasta.
It's partner wine was one of the Top 100 Cabs of the Napa Valley. Once again, Vic Bourassa has hit a home run!
Winery price: $59.00

So I thought I would do another tutorial on a character from the Pokemon series. When I was like eight I loved watching this show like you wouldn't believe. One of my favorite characters from the animated show was Charmander. So that is what you will learn how to draw today. I will show you just how easy it is to draw Charmander from Pokemon. Now as you know Ash is the one that owned a Charmander which he found as an abandoned Pokemon. It was Ash, Misty, and Brock that came across this confused and lost little guy. He was previously owned by trainer Damian but unfortunately he only cared about having strong Pokemon that stood a strong chance to winning a fighting match. It was very difficult for Ash to get Charmander to move from it's where he was first left behind. The confused Pokemon refused to move form his spot because he was waiting for his trainer Damian which had no intentions of returning for him. The description of this Pokemon was weird. He is considered a reptilian creature that had a striking resemblance to a dinosaur and a salamander mixed. His signature mark was his burning flame on the tip of his tail that burned indefinitely. The flame never goes out and he was born with a flaming tail as well. Now some may say that if the flame of a Charmander goes out, that is the day it dies. The heritage of this Pokemon may very well be from some sort of Dragon like creature as well as a Magmar because of the burning flames. In any part this is still one of may favorited Pokemon because of the fact he looks like a reptilian creature. So that is why I chose to show you today how to draw Charmander from Pokemon. This step by step online tutorial will give you detailed easy to read instructions to help make drawing a whole lot easier to do. So have fun and remember practice makes perfect. Peace out people.

02 Oct 2012 (CNN) Turkish police are going house to house in this border province issuing an ultimatum, Syrian refugees say: Either move into a refugee camp or go back to Syria.
More than a half dozen Syrian refugees living in rented homes in Antakya and the nearby town of Yayladagi offered similar descriptions to CNN of the stark choice recently imposed by local Turkish authorities.
"I told one cop, 'What if I don't leave?'" said a male Syrian refugee who asked not to be named to protect him from Turkish and Syrian government reprisals. "He said, 'We will take you to the police station and force you to evacuate'" your home.
"The first time the police came, they asked for my passport, took a look at it, and then one of them said, 'You have three months, you can stay here for three months,'" said another Syrian man who asked to be named as Abu Ahmed to protect his family members still living in Syria.
"Then 20 days later they came back," he said. "I wasn't home but my wife was, and they made her sign a paper to evacuate ourselves from this house within four days."
At least a half dozen other Syrian refugees have told similar stories of Turkish police ordering them to abandon homes that they have rented here in Turkey.
Turkish officials at the local and national level of government confirmed that authorities were pushing Syrian refugees toward the camps.
"We are trying to guide and suggest people who arrived legally or 'illegally' to go either into the camps, if they have arrived illegally, or suggesting the others to move to nearby or different cities," said a Turkish official, who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to be interviewed by the press.
"The local authorities ... they have to do such things in the interest of regularizing the presence," he added.
Officially, more than 93,000 refugees currently live in a network of camps spread along Turkey's long border with Syria.
But Turkish diplomats estimate there are another 40,000 to 50,000 unofficial Syrian refugees who have chosen to live in Turkey outside of the camps. On Tuesday the United Nations refugee agency said that the number of Syrian refugees in neighboring countries has more than tripled since June to over 300,000.
Most of the refugees are housed in camps in Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan, the agency said.
"Based on recent trends, the plan estimates there could be up to 710,000 refugees in need of assistance in the region by the end of the year, the majority women and children," the agency said.
Cross-border travel between Turkey and Syria has been easy, in part because in 2009, Turkey and Syria agreed to allow "visa-free" travel for citizens across borders. And, after the anti-government protests first erupted in March 2011, Turkey announced an "open border policy" for Syrians fleeing the subsequent government crackdown.
The once-cozy relations between Damascus and Ankara have all but collapsed over the past year and a half. Subsequently, a near-freeze in cross-border trade hit the local economy in the Hatay region hard.
Now some Antakya residents say Syrian refugees are no longer welcome here.
"Of course people need to be given humanitarian protection," said Refik Eryilmaz, a member of parliament from Hatay province who spoke to CNN by telephone.
"But then you protect those people in camps. You don't allow them to rent houses in the middle of city centers and let them mix with the locals."
Last month, Eryilmaz, who is a member of the opposition Republican People's Party, or CHP, was among more than 1,000 demonstrators who gathered for a rare protest in Antakya against the Turkish government's Syria policy.
Clutching signs that said "No to war," "Turkey Syria Brothers," and "Damn American Imperialism," the crowd accused the government of allowing foreign jihadists and members of al Qaeda to travel through Antakya to join the rebel movement in Syria. Demonstrators also demanded the closure of the Apaydin refugee camp, which for more than a year has housed defected Syrian army officers who now claim to lead the rebel Free Syrian Army.
At some points during the protest, demonstrators were heard chanting "We are ready to die for you Bashar" and "Allah, Syria, Bashar, nothing else," in Arabic in support of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad.
Eventually, helmeted Turkish riot police fired tear gas to disperse the angry crowd.
After more than a year and a half of violence and the deaths of more than 20,000 people, the struggle inside Syria has increasingly devolved along sectarian lines.
That violence continued Tuesday, with at least 104 deaths reported by the Local Coordination Committees of Syria. That included 38 in Damascus and its suburbs, 26 in Daraa, 16 in Aleppo, 12 in Deir Ezzor, 9 in Homs, 2 in Hama and 1 in Idlib. Seventeen of those killed in Damascus suburbs were victims of shelling in Harasta, the LCC said.
Rebels from Syria's Sunni Muslim majority frequently accuse al-Assad of favoring other members of his Alawite religious minority, particularly when it comes to promotions and perks within the Syrian military.
Those sectarian tensions have been growing in Antakya, which is also home to a sizeable Arabic-speaking Alawite community. Months after U.N. officials publicly accused the Assad regime of committing crimes against humanity for repeatedly using deadly force against unarmed protesters, shopkeepers in Antakya were still selling souvenir carpets with the portrait of the Syrian president.
It was also not unusual to hear local merchants praising the secular "modern image" of al-Assad and his wife, Asma, particularly in contrast to Turkey's pious Sunni prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whose wife wears an Islamic headscarf.
Why Syria turmoil threatens Middle East
The appearance in recent months of foreign volunteer fighters headed to Syria has also added to local discomfort. Some of the volunteers moving through Antakya's provincial airport come from Libya and the Gulf and wear the long beards and shortened pants or robes preferred by Salafi Muslims.
"There are Chechen, Libyan and Afghan fighters coming through Hatay to fight in Syria and they don't even try to hide it," said Eryilmaz, the opposition lawmaker.
"I cannot say that the armed fighters coming through Hatay have a very good attitude concerning the mixed mosaic demographic nature of Hatay."
Meanwhile, Sunni Muslim Turks living in the border region tend to express more sympathy for the Syrian refugees. Some Turks who share close family ties to Syrian communities that have repeatedly been attacked by government tanks, artillery and warplanes criticized the police crackdown on refugees.
"I had (Syrian) people staying in my house. The police came and told them to leave," said Mehmet Tuncel, a resident of the Turkish border village of Guvecci. "I want them to stay. It's a pity for these people."
"They want to clear this area out because Alawite Turks live here as well as Sunnis," said Abu Ahmed, the Syrian refugee who had been ordered to leave his rented apartment. He spoke in the living room of his house, next to his brother-in-law, who was still hobbling on crutches after suffering a bullet wound to the leg in Syria months ago. Abu Ahmed's sister also sat in the room, cradling her 2-week old baby, who was born in Turkey.
"The Alawites are with Bashar al-Assad and the Sunnis are against him, so the Alawites don't want Syrians here. They are upset with us," Abu Ahmed said.
At a rally for his political party on Sunday, Prime Minister Erdogan continued to denounce the Assad regime. He also vowed to continue supporting the Syrian opposition.
But there are signs the government is growing increasingly uncomfortable with the growing criticism coming from Antakya.
Over the past month, Turkish authorities have partially shut their "open door" policy to Syria, leaving thousands of displaced Syrians languishing at the border. Turkish officials said more camps had to be built before new waves of refugees could be let in.
And, in a sign that Ankara recognizes the growing political tensions in Antakya, a Turkish official acknowledged it is time to redistribute the refugee population to other provinces around the country.
"We are trying to see that all provinces in Turkey share the load of the Syrian nationals in a more equitable way, so we can have more sustainable assistance to all people," said the official in the Turkish capital, who asked not to be named.

In just a few short years we've almost forgotten the concept of "saving" a document. Close an app? It's just there. Until it isn't.
I just got back from a manic 48-hour mental assault to pick up the used Land Cruiser I'll be driving up and down the northern hemisphere next year. (More on that later!) It was a last-second decision with little room for luggage, so I didn't even take my iPad - just my trusty Apple Bluetooth keyboard.
A few hours later, smokily ensconced in a motel, I leaned over the Elements text editor app I've been using on both my iPhone and iPad lately. It syncs up with Dropbox, making it - in theory - impervious to accidental deletes, even if you lose your phone. To never worry about losing files is a writer's dream.
I had my contacts out soaking, so even leaned over the screen with the text jacked all the way to Old Man 24 Point I could barely make it out. It turned out to be a nice way to write, less focused on the screen than... anyway, you get the idea. I poured a nice little bit of words about Montana, the road, and letting things go onto the phone. I was pretty pleased to send it out so anyone who was interested could read it, especially those of you who sent me well wishes and advice.
I attached it to an email, waiting for the trademark iPhone whoooosh. I didn't hear it, but I was on a crappy Edge connection, so I just set it aside and passed right out.
The next day Joe Brown texted me to check in and I asked him if he'd posted the story yet. "I didn't get anything," he texted back. Stupid Mail.app, I thought.
But when I went back into Elements and saw just a couple of lines at the top - notes I had added hours before I wrote the story about an arsehole hotel operator in Oregon - my heart sank. Maybe it was in Dropbox? Nope. Same version. (I later checked when I got home to see if Dropbox had cached a previous version. No dice.)
I went through every setting I could find in Elements hoping there was some sort of version control within the app. No dice. 800 words of confidence-restoring road diary gone. And not even a filesystem to check.
I don't want to rail too hard on Elements. I sent a support email noting the bug - "Your app ate my story :(" - and I'm sure the developer will fix it soon. Mistakes happen.
But there was a particular feeling of helplessness when the computer that I rely on to just work just didn't. When a computer application crashes and loses your work, there's a little part of yourself you can blame. I should have saved. When an app that doesn't even have the option of saving - nor a local filesystem to work with even if you wanted to - it can leave you feeling stranded. With a closed system like the iPhone, the only options I had besides hoping and praying were hyper-technical attempts to dig through an image of the phone's flash memory for a previous state or some other fantasy that's completely beyond my ken in the first place.
One of the things that the closed iPhone makes possible is a certain level of bullet-proofing against bugs and errors. Not that it's bug-free - it's still software made by humans driven by a dying martinet - but some of the complicating factors have been smoothed out by stricture.
It's why I love the iPhone and its attendant software. It feels more tangible than most software, not just physically, but in responsiveness and persistence. I like not thinking about saving.
But the other side of that knife is that when an app dies, loses your data, you're really just out of luck. There's no troubleshooting, no rip-off $99 data recovery indulgence, no asking a smarter friend to make the bad bug go away.
So I guess if I'm writing to anyone, it's not to other users, but to the developers of those apps you're asking us to trust. If you're writing software we're being trained to treat as omnipotent, the margin for error is quickly diminishing.
