Mining in insecure Nangarhar areas goes unsupervised
Mining in insecure Nangarhar areas goes unsupervised
JALALABAD (Pajhwok): Mines and petroleum director for Nangarhar province on Saturday said they could not supervise natural resources in the eastern province due to insecurity.
In an exclusive interview with Pajhwok Afghan News, Eng. Sayed Saleh Shinwari, said he had requested cooperation from district chiefs and security officials in preventing the riches from being plundered, but none of them took any action.
Deposits of minerals including marbles, slate, nephrite and fluorite exist in Goshta, Achin, Haska Mina, Nazian, Dur Baba and Sherzad districts, all insecure areas, he said.
Shinwri said a primary survey of the mines in Nangarhar was conducted years ago but no details of the survey were made available.
Currently only the slate mine – located in Sherzad district -- is legally extracted by 16 contractors, Shinwari said.
He said 20 slate processing factories had been opened in Nangarhar, employing hundreds of people.
Shinwari had no information about mines in other districts whether they were illegally extracted or not. He said they could not supervise mines in insecure areas.
"We only receive information about mines' situation from district officials once in one month or two months," he said, adding supervision of legal extraction of mines was also limited.
"The contractors agreed with us in all areas such as environment protection and helping local people, we have not received any complaints from them so far, we personally cannot visit the mines under extraction," he said.
Meanwhile, governor's spokesman, Attaullah Khogyani, said the mines and petroleum department had branches in all districts and it should supervise natural resources through its branches.
Police spokesman, Hazrat Hussain Mashraqiwal, said they were cooperating with the mines and petroleum department.
"There is no illegal extraction of mines in areas where police posts exist. Border police forces also help and prevent trafficking of mines," he said.
He said police had several times arrested smugglers of minerals and had paraded them before media.
However, there are rumors that militants also get benefit from the extraction of the slate mine in Nangarhar.

Make taking care of your lips your next resolution with these winter lip care tips!
Lips say a lot about a person. They can be alluring, expressive, soft, or a host of other descriptive terms. That's why it's important to keep your lips looking healthy especially during the dry winter months. This can be easily accomplished with a few tips on winter lip care. Knowing a little bit about your lips and how to keep them hydrated are key to keeping them healthy and looking their best.
Let's start with a few facts about the skin on your lips. Even though your lips are part of your face, they do not contain oil glands like the rest of your facial skin does. This means that they lack natural moisture which is why they need to be moisturized many times throughout the day. The truth is, your lips need more care during the winter months than your face does. Secondly, the skin on your lips is the most driest and thinnest tissue on your body. With those two facts in mind, let's look at the following five tips to keep your lips hydrated.
Five Tips for Winter Lip Care
1. Use the Best Ingredients: Certain hydrating ingredients are needed to help protect your lips from wintry winds and dry weather. These ingredients, called emollients are easy to find as they're in many lip balms. Emollients are nourishing to your lips because they help to replace oils in your skin. The more of these emollients in a lip balm product, the better it will be for your lips. Look for any plant oil such as jojoba, olive, coconut, or sunflower oil. Shea butter, aloe vera, beeswax Vitamin E, allantoin, glycerin, and petroleum jelly are also emollients that your lips will appreciate.
2. Look for Humectants: Use products containing humectants which is another group of hydrating ingredients. Humectants will absorb water from the air into your skin and help to keep your lips hydrated. Humectants are oil free ingredients such as urea, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and propylene glycol. These ingredients are very important for your lips.
3. Avoid Drying Agents: There are also certain ingredients to avoid when choosing a nourishing lip balm. You don't want to purchase any product that is going to dry your lips and may create problems such as chapped or inflamed lips. Say goodbye to products that have any type of alcohol, corn starch, or other drying agent. Check your lipstick and make sure it doesn't contain a drying agent. If it does, switch to a lip gloss or at least use a nourishing lip balm under your lipstick whenever you apply it.
4. Exfoliate: One of the best ways to help keep your lips healthy is to exfoliate them. Just as you exfoliate your facial skin in the shower, gently rub the same product over your lips. You can also use a soft toothbrush topped with an exfoliant to remove the dry skin on your lips. Exfoliating your lips once or twice a week will get rid of unwanted dry skin and promote healthier skin to grow. It will keep your lips looking radiant and supple. Products containing papaya are excellent for exfoliating. Papaya contains natural exfoliating enzymes to help get rid of dry skin and to soften healthy tissue. After exfoliating your lips, be sure to finish with a nourishing lip balm.
5. Moisturize at Night: Moisturize your lips at night by using a lip balm. At nighttime, outside temperatures drop and indoor temperatures rise which creates hot dry air in your home. While you're sleeping, your lips are affected by this and need to be moisturized. By using a quality nourishing lip balm before going to bed, you're lips will be moisturized and it will help prevent cracking due to dry skin.

Throughout the years, the idea of forming an Honor Guard for the Berkeley Police Department was presented periodically by a variety of different members of the department.
In 2004, a handful of BPD personnel organized and began to represent the department at funerals and other functions. This volunteer endeavour evolved into a full rifle and flag presentation at the funeral of a retired BPD Officer. The Honor Guard, with the support of the Berkeley Police Association (BPA), has attended the California State Police Officers Memorial every May in Sacramento. In 2005, while still not sanctioned by the department, the Honor Guard was requested to present the Colors at a ceremony for the centennial celebration for the City of Berkeley Police Department. Since then, the core group of the Honor Guard has been requested to participate in various departmental functions from awards to promotional ceremonies.The aforementioned developments lent itself to growth and enthusiasm within the unit. BPD added three (3) officers and committed to a new distinct Honor Guard uniform. The BPD Honor Guard is fortunate to be staffed with personnel that are passionate about what they do and why they are doing it. This passion can be seen in their presentations and their dedication to their efforts. Department members past and present, as well as community members have been impressed that have witnessed the members of the Honor Guard at work. In the spring of 2010, Chief Michael K. Meehan made the Honor Guard an official ancillary unit in the department.
The Honor Guard annually participates in departmental events such as promotional ceremonies as well as the funerals of retired Berkeley Police Officers. The Honor Guard also represents the department at all line-of-duty funerals in the state.

Hi, everyone. I'm eager to get to know everyone, and tickled that Verla Kay set the board up.
I am Donna J. from Ohio. I am old (don't ask!) but new to the writing world and having a ball. I wrote inspirational articles, and was blessed to have some published before this new endeavor.
Recently I stuck my toe into the children's writing water, and it is glorious and refreshing. I pray I can 'dunk' myself soon!
I write poetry (rhyming - oh, no!) and short children's stories. I was a regular over on 'old yeller,' but mostly lurking until I got accustomed to the water temperature.
So, I'm in waist deep now, and feeling lonely out here, so jump in and tell me and everyone else about yourself!
Thanks- Donna J.

Re: Introduce yourself!
Hi everyone!
I used my usual handle for my id on here so most would know me from chat - but maybe I should have stayed annonamous and created a whole new personna, something wild and crazy Oh well, that would be too much of a stretch for me.
I'm Gloria and I live in Canada. I write mostly pbs/mid grades but am currently having success selling non-fiction to magazines (mostly Canadian history).
I'm married with three boys. I volunteer lots, fight school boards, and try to write everyday. I also scrapbook.
I am often busy supervising homework in the evenings so haven't been to chat as often as I'd like so this new board is great. I can pop in anytime I want and catch up with everybody.
Thanks Verla - the ever caring, mentoring, terrific person you are is very much appreciated.

Re: Introduce yourself!
Hi Everyone! I'm Maggie and I live in a city called Maple Ridge on the west coast of Canada. I belong to CW, picture-books and Scribble & Scribe lists in addition to about a million (I have a tendency to over estimate) pot bellied pig lists.
I write stories for adults & children, picture books, poems and also do corporate writing. I have a multitude of pig stories all published in one newspaper in Columbus, Ohio written from the trotters of my pet pig, Binki. And that's all that's been published. I've been writing stories and poems to my groups on the net for seven years and recently decided to try and find a publisher for some of them.
I mostly lurk on all the lists now, but leap in once in awhile to post a comment or two.
I like being in on the ground floor of a new chat list and I'm hoping to make some great friends here. Thanks for setting this up, Verla. You are one of the most supportive writers I've noticed since I started becoming involved in the online writing community and I appreciate your generosity in sharing what you can. You should know... when I went to the library and asked the children's librarian for recommended reading your books were among the top ten. I especially enjoyed "Gold Fever" and was amazed how you told such a great tale with so few words!
I'm the mother of 4 boys, grandmother to 8 girls and share my life with my husband Bob, my two toy poodles (Prozac & Valium) and a pot bellied pig named Binki.
I'm looking forward to chatting with all of you.

Heyas, gang! For those that don't know me, I'm Douglas, the guy that actually installed the boards, the guy that owns the chat server that ya'll use AND Verla's web host type guy.
I'm not an Author (though I have been told I have an overactive imagination, so I suppose that could qualify me right there). I'm into building web sites and database administration/repair/recovery type stuff.
I'm not married, however, I have celebrated three years with my girlfriend (and her lovely daughter) last month.

Re: Introduce yourself!
Wow! Douglas, congratulations! Thanks for all your hard work, this board is terrific! (also, alas, a great distraction, lol) Okay, I've got to get back to work!!
Nice to meet you!! Who knows, maybe the bug will bite you and you'll decide to try your hand as a children's writer!

I'm KatyD. Some of you might know me from the yella board too. I don't post often, but I'm there checking on what's up as often as possible. And I'm on the CW List. Now I have another board with which to procrastinate!
My first pb, Farmer McPeepers and His Missing Milk Cows, (illus. Steve Gray) was released this spring by Rising Moon Children's Books. I have also sold many stories and articles to children's magazines and recently had an essay accepted by Family Fun Magazine.
I'm looking forward to visiting with you guys!

Hey, all! I'm Anne Marie--some of you know me from Yella and from chat. Verla, I've been checking your site every day since you said this message board would be coming up soon and I'm thrilled that it's here. Thank you!
I write mostly middle-grade fiction but I dabble in everything for middle-grade readers and younger. I've been writing my whole life (haven't we all?) but writing seriously for publication for 18 months and I've had some success so far.
I took the summer off from writing my middle-grade novel and now that school is back in session, I'm back to work revising. That's my major project right now.
I'm also active in SCBWI and am heading up an effort for an SCBWI workshop in our city that's being held three weeks from now. We have great speakers and we're all really excited.
Thanks again, Verla.

I'm a relatively-fledgling writer, with one children's story and one holiday story to my credit. I've been fairly active on the CW list, adn I'm a co-manager at the Children's Book Writer's Cafe on MSN groups. Unlike most of the folk here it seems, I am/was not a regular on the Yella Board.
I'm currently taking the ICL course, and this week I start my new job as a school photographer. (probably a temporary job until I find something in my field - multimedia/web development)
I'm working on my web site, which will include technical tips for writers as well as information on my own writing as my portfolio expands. Keep an eye out for announcements regarding

Hi all
I'm a mostly-regular in the kidlit chat room. I like to write all sorts of things, from picture books through midgrades and YA's to adult fiction and non-fiction. I've had a few things published (no books . . . yet!), including a short story in
Storyteller: Canada's Short Story Magazine
, which won third prize in their annual contest in 2002. I also have some forthcoming pieces.
I like to travel -- when I can afford it -- and have been to Egypt and Taiwan. This year my husband and kids and I took a cross-Canada trip as far as Ottawa. We did lots of interesting stuff along the way, like watching the RCMP Sgt. Major's parade in Regina.
I'm currently a Brownies Guider; and I'm a former library technician -- which is why all the books in my personal library are in DDC order (which greatly amuses my friends...)

Hi Everyone,
I am a lurker. I have been following the Yahoo message boards and the SCBWI for some time. This new one looks like it could be great. Thanks Verla!
Anyway, I have been writing for kids for several years, have had some success with magazine fiction (Spider, Ladybug, and various religious mags) and am forever working on picture books but no acceptances there yet. I do feel good about personal rejections on many of them, tho, so I won't give up. I just finished revising my first YA novel and have begun submitting. I started a new novel and have found that I might (might) love writing YA's more than picture books. I write contemporary fiction.
I am married with one son who is a month shy of 13 and I am a Family Advocate in the largest elementary school in Minnesota.
That's me! I look forward to being here!

Hello! I'm Lisa Edwards. I'm from Old Yeller too (lisaj). Nice to see many familiar faces and meet new ones too! And thanks to Verla Kay for this place. I've been in serious need of a good place to procrastinate!
I've had one story accepted by Ladybug, although it hasn't been published yet. I hope to be working with Storyplus.com soon, as they are seriously considering one of my stories. Other than that, I've got an impressive stack of rejections for pbs- a few are encouraging, personal ones. I'm currently revising an mg and dreaming up more plot for another.
I'm a mom of 2 young teenage boys. All those who know what this is like, send prayers and good wishes for my tentative grip on sanity.

Hi, I'm Karin!
I am from the Kansas City area and write for both adults and children. I write devotional stuff for adults, have written for quarterly devotionals & Sun. school publications.
I also write fiction and Bible stories for children. My first success in the children's market came this summer with a recent acceptance on a story for Clubhouse. I had been working really hard to get a ms this editor liked, and had pretty much given up on it. Then out of the blue he contacted me and told me to run with one of my previous ideas that I had pitched to him months ago. What a figured was a hopeless contact, eventually resulted in a sale.
I am excited to talk with other children's writers as I really need to get a jump start and keep my writing going. I am focusing mainly on magazine markets for now, though I also have chapter book and picture book ms's lying around waiting for some attention. I've been writing for about 2-3 years.
Great to 'meet' you all and thanks Verla Kay for setting this up.

) The posters there have been so generous with their thoughts and experiences, and I'm grateful to them.
I'm ridiculously shy, but I do want to be part of this community, so I will try to muster up the courage to contribute to conversations here. (And at the Yellow Board, when it's up again!)
I live in Oregon with my two small ones and my not-small husband and two well-fed cats.
I write picture books, mostly, but I've started a middle-grade. Writing and words have been passions all my life, and I've always known I would write for children.
I started submitting a year ago, and so far, I haven't had success. (I was always
that I'd be accepted, rapturously, on my first try. Oh, well!)
I really am looking forward to making friends with you all. Thank you, Verla Kay, for all that you do!

Hey everybody!
I'm Jennifer, also a regular on Yella though I've been lurk, lurk, lurk-ing around lately trying to get some writing done. Then the durn thing went and broke! I live in Atlanta and write mostly PBs and emergent/early readers. Some rhyming, some not. I also have an MG underway.
It's good to 'see' everyone. Thanks, Verla!

I've been reading all the posts and I've found 3 from people I know.
I'm a member of CW, YA-authors, and ScribbleandScribe.(Hi Agy, Alessia, and Maggie)
I write MG fantasy, YA fiction, and adult short stories. I'm in the beginning of revising my YA novel, and I've had 3 adult stories published online. I'm also a teacher, but at the present time I'm not working so I'm hoping to devote more of my time to revising my novel.
I live in New York state in Westchester. But lately the weather here is more like that of the West Coast. Today it was misty and rainy.
Again thank you Verla for starting this board. I love my critique groups, but it's fun to chat back and forth like this.

Hey there,
My name is Josh Ernstrom and I live in Los Angeles, CA. I work in the Film Industry as a production assistant and when I have time...no wait...when I make time, I write screenplays and children's books. I'm still new at the whole kid's books thing, so I love to read what the pros have to say. Next to writing, I think it's the best way to learn.
Thanks ahead of time for letting me be part of this board, and thanks to those that set it up!

Hi, all! So this is where everyone went! Thanks, Verla, for setting this up.
I'm Pam from the yeller board. I write for magazines and books. I have an emergent coming out this fall by Seedling Publications so that makes this a good year for me although I've been seeing lots of rejection lately. I hate that!
Glad to see old and new faces around here. Almost like home.

Whew! Feels like I've been stranded on a desert island recently. Thanks, Verla, for the lifeboat. And Agy, thanks for the rescue flare.
Verla, I've enjoyed browsing your wonderful site and reading transcripts from time to time.
I'm Barb but, as you can see, it's a very popular name; so you can just call me dinoknees.
I recently finished my first novel, a MG. I submitted it and received my first official novel rejection. I'm trying to train my dog to eat rejection letters -- to him life is an eat-all-you-can buffet -- but he just looks at them with disgust and asks for a tummy rub.
Good to see the familiar faces and nice to meet the new ones.

AFTER 32 years of early morning rises, Caringbah Public School's much loved ''lollipop lady'' has hung up the fluoro vest.
Quite a run considering the job was supposed to be only temporary.
Clare Ayers, 81, has retired as the school's crossing supervisor.
''I've told the children my legs are past their use-by-date,'' she said.
''I've helped them cross, and their parents cross when they were kids.''
She described the early days on the job like an ''initiation''.
''I once saw a little girl, about two, sitting in the middle of the road. No one knew who she was or where she came from.
''Turns out she lived two streets up, and she'd wandered over.
''I remember also a lady nearly had a baby on my crossing. The ambulance came just in time.
''Any time after that when I saw pregnant ladies about to cross, I thought, 'oh no'.''
Ms Ayers said she enjoyed ''every minute'' of holding up the stick. ''It's very important for schools to have crossing supervisors,'' she said.
''It's a very busy road. I've had to pull up a few mothers as they gasbag and don't look at their little ones.
''Over the years I've almost had heart attacks seeing some of them tearing out on the road.
''But the children are a lovely, well-mannered lot.
''I've been widowed twice, and my grandchildren aren't nearby … I get a bit upset thinking about it.
''But I'm looking forward to an extra hour in bed.''
Principal Marcia Vallance said the school would miss Ms Ayer's smile and friendly greeting.
''Clare has been a integeral part of our school,'' she said.
''She has always been delightful and caring to the children and community, and always ensured the safety of our students, their families, visitors and staff.'
End of the road: Clare Ayers says goodbye to Jack Wilson, Charlotte Mackenzie and Rachael Stanley-Jones. Picture: Anna Warr

'Deer rub' hurting NW Lower Michigan fruit farmers
April 06, 2013 at 07:02 PM
The Associated Press
SUTTONS BAY, Mich. (AP) — Some fruit farmers in northwest Lower Michigan are hoping to buck the trend of deer harming their orchards.
Large bucks are rubbing their antlers against fruit trees, stripping the bark and killing the stock. It's a natural act called a "buck rub," or "deer rub."
It's a particular concern for farmers in Leelanau County, where cherry trees are an important part of the local economy.
"On one day we found seven trees damaged," longtime farmer Don Gregory told the Traverse City Record-Eagle for a story Saturday. "In the past, we haven't had anywhere near this type of problem."
Some believe Leelanau County's designation as a Quality Deer Management site is playing a part in the trend toward increased tree damage.
The restriction means hunters in the county are not permitted to shoot a buck unless it has three points on one side of its antlers. It is designed to allow bucks to grow to trophy status as they roam the woods, swamps and fruit orchards — a plus for hunters, but not farmers.
Hunters like the antler point restriction so much that they are lobbying the state to mandate it in a dozen other counties, including Antrim, Benzie, Charlevoix, Emmet, Grant Traverse, Kalkaska, Lake, Manistee, Missaukee, Mason, Osceola and Wexford.
The Michigan Natural Resources Commission plans to take public comment on the proposal next month with a vote expected in June.
Ryan Ratajczak, a leader of the Quality Deer Management Association's northwest Michigan chapter, said he's sympathetic to farmers' concerns.
"Fencing is the best option from a deterrent standpoint," he said. "However, it's not necessarily cost effective. ... We want to work with the farmers in order to reduce the population so that it's acceptable to hunters and farmers."
Fencing is extremely expensive, said Gregory, who would like to see a boost to hunting license fees to offset the cost to growers.
"Why, with this being a man-made problem, do (fruit growers) end up being the losers," he said.

LICF Offers Four Types of Funds:
Unrestricted / Community Response funds leave discretion to the LICF's governing board to use the donor's gift to meet contemporary needs, forever. The donor allows the Foundation to direct the fund proceeds to critical Long Island needs through its professional grantmaking program.
Predicting the future is a risky business. If you want your philanthropy to continue after your lifetime, you're probably concerned whether your gift will meet the unimagined needs of generations to come.
An unrestricted fund is your insurance that your generosity will remain relevant. Future LICF boards and staff—who have a tradition of excellence to stand on — will make grants in your name in perpetuity that effectively deal with contemporary problems.
You can also set up an unrestricted fund now. If you want to give back to Long Island, but don't have the time to research the thousands of nonprofits that work here, our grantmaking staff is happy to do the legwork for you. We know the many needs on Long Island, and we know where private money can make a real difference. After our board approves grants, we'll let you know where they went.
Field-of-interest funds, we make grants to nonprofits to tackle issues of concern to the donor. The donor selects the general areas in which grants should be made (e.g., housing, the elderly, the Town of Hempstead, etc.) and leaves the selection of specific grant recipients to the Foundation's professional staff based on their knowledge of current issues and organizations.
Field-of-interest funds are for people who have a particular area of charitable interest. They name the area—such as troubled youth—or choose a more specific focus—such as drug abuse or prevention of teen pregnancy.
Then LICF goes to work, researching and preparing a grant spending plan for that field of interest.The board double-checks proposed grants against your fund's purpose and any other guidelines you've provided. After each grant is made (with a voucher bearing the fund's name), our staff carefully monitors the results.
The advantage of a field-of-interest fund is that it keeps up with the times. Many of the issues now facing Long Island were not around 40 years ago, and neither were many of the nonprofit organizations addressing these new issues. Therefore, rather than locking your charitable contribution into a few specific charities, a field-of-interest fund will always be able to meet contemporary needs.
Donor-advised funds are legally unrestricted funds, but the donor recommends the organizations to receive grants.
Donor-advised funds allow donors to recommend that grants be made to charities of their choice. While the recommendations cannot be binding (under Internal Revenue Service rules the NYCT board has the final say), we take the suggestions very seriously. Under board guidelines, our staff reviews basic information provided by the charity to ensure that its fiscal affairs are in order and that it is actively serving the public. The NYCT board has established broad guidelines for suggestion approval, assuring rapid processing of each grant, which bears the name of your fund. We take care of all the record keeping and reporting.
Donor-advised funds offer several advantages. They give you:
Designated funds name specific nonprofits to receive grants, subject always to the variance power of The NYCT, which ensures that the fund remains relevant over time.
If you are firmly committed to supporting specific charities, you can make your gifts directly to those charities, but a designated fund may be preferable for some donors. You may name the charity or charities you'd like to benefit; we take care of the investments, and regularly pay grants to the charities you've named. If the charity goes out of business, changes its mission, or should a future board determine that circumstances have changed so as to "render unnecessary, undesirable, impractical, or impossible continued support," we'll redirect funds to other charities without losing time or depleting the fund through expensive court proceedings. This authority of our board, called the variance power, is an attractive feature to donors who have established funds in perpetuity and donors who have set up funds for narrow purposes but understand that the future is unpredictable. A committee of The NYCT board will carefully review the facts before recommending any change to the full board.
Note: Combinations of these fund types are also possible. And donors can elect to devote a percentage of fund proceeds to the LICF's community response grantmaking.

I've been looking for a service like this, but have had no luck, so far. Perhaps I overlooked something during my search.
I need to find a cloud-based file-storage and sharing service that will let me upload a file via API by providing a URL to the file (rather than posting the file).
Use-case #1: Let's say I'm using Drawloop's cloud-based mail-merge solution to create mail-merged PDFs via API. Each time I create a PDF, I get a URL to the created file. I'd like to be able to upload this file to a file-storage service without having to download it first - so pass in the URL to the file and have the file-storage system retrieve it from the URL. I'm creating the file in the cloud - why should I have to download it first, in order to get it into my cloud-based file-storage system?
Use-case #2: I'm using Formstack to collect form submissions along with uploaded files. Formstack stores the files on S3, but I'd also like to store them in my own cloud-based file-storage system. Formstack gives me the URL for each uploaded file, and I'd like to be able to pass that URL to my file-storage system and have the system retrieve the file directly from the URL.
Surely somebody's doing this already, right?

Caldwell Art Direction Harry Oliver Scenario Sonya Levien, based on the short story "Three Episodes in the Life of Timothy Osborn" by Tristan Tupper
Presented at SFSFF 1996
Print Source George Eastman House
Musical Accompaniment Jim Riggs
Program Note by Melissa Chittick and Stephen Salmons
Made at the end of the silent era, Lucky Star was released in both silent and part-talking versions, although only the silent version survives today. Advertisements for the film touted "Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell together again in their first talking picture." Known as "America's Favorite Lovebirds," Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell were one of the most popular romantic teams of the late silent and early sound years and appeared together in 12 films.
Janet Gaynor grew up in San Francisco and worked as an usherette for the Castro Theatre in the early 1920s before moving to Hollywood. In 1929, she received the first Academy Award ever given for Best Actress. It was a cumulative award for her work in three films: Sunrise (1927), Seventh Heaven (1927), and Street Angel (1928), the latter two directed by Frank Borzage and costarring Charles Farrell.
During the years he teamed with Janet Gaynor, tall and handsome Charles Farrell enjoyed enormous popularity. Later in his career he played Gale Storm's father on the television series My Little Margie and also entered the political arena when he was elected mayor of Palm Springs.
Considered one of the great Hollywood romanticists, director Frank Borzage began his career in 1912 as an actor. He appeared in dozens of melodramas, comedies, and westerns before he began directing for Universal in 1916. Lucky Star was the tenth film Frank Borzage directed for the Fox Film Corporation. He is one of the few directors to have won an Academy Award for both a silent film, Seventh Heaven (1927), and a sound film, Bad Girl (1931). Of the 105 films directed by Frank Borzage, 44 are yet to be located.
Previously considered lost, a 35mm print of Lucky Star was discovered only six years ago in the Nederlands Filmmuseum in Amsterdam. It was restored for its 1990 revival premiere at Le Giornate del Cinema Muto, the week-long silent film festival in Pordenone, Italy.
Melissa Chittick and Stephen Salmons are the founders of the San Francisco Silent Film Festival.

HARFORD, Conn. – After the opening day of the College Squash Association Individual Championships, Harvard junior Ali Farag is the only member of Crimson remaining in the Pool Division draw with a chance to win the national title. The other three participants suffered defeats to fall into the tournament's consolation brackets.
Farag, who is seeded second and the reigning national champion, opened up his title defense by defeating Michael Sunderland of Cornell, 11-9, 11-9, 12-10, in the round of 32. He followed up his performance by taking care of Princeton's Samuel Kang, 11-8, 9-11, 11-9, 11-9, to move into the quarterfinals, where he'll face Rochester's Andres Duany at 1:30 p.m. Farag won both of their meetings this season, including one last weekend in the CSA Team Championships, and would advance to the semifinals against St. Lawrence's Amr Khaled Khalifa or Princeton's Tyler Osborne at 6:30 p.m. with a third.
Brandon McLaughlin was also in the draw, and he made quick work of Dylan Ward of Princeton, 11-2, 11-2, 11-4, to move into the round of 16. However, St. Lawrence's Khalifa, the No. 3 overall seed in the championship, prevailed, 12-10, 11-3, 11-5, to drop McLaughlin into the second round consolation. He'll face Chris Hanson of Dartmouth at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow.
The only other two members from Harvard in the Pool Division, Nigel Koh and Gary Power, both dropped their first match of the day. Koh fell to No. 5 Ahmed Abdel Khalek of Bates, 11-4, 11-8, 11-4, and Power lost to Kang, 13-11, 14-12, 11-8, to go to the first round consolation bracket.
Power had better luck in his second match, an 11-5, 11-7, 11-5 triumph against Sunderland to move into the consolation quarterfinals versus Rochester's Adam Perkiomaki at 1:30 p.m. Saturday. On the other hand, Koh saw his junior season come to an end in five games against Neil Martin of Yale, 10-12, 12-10, 7-11, 11-4, 11-7.
In the Molloy Division, Tommy Mullaney, Harvard's only competitor, received a bye into the round of 16 against Alex Arjoon. He outlasted the Franklin & Marshall sophomore, 7-11, 11-8, 11-9, 10-12, 11-9, to move into the quarterfinals against No. 5 Vivek Dinodia of Princeton at 10:40 a.m. Saturday.

Did you know we are omnipotent? It always comes as a surprise to me but it must be true because each time we become ill we ask, "What did I do to make this happen?" We proceed to go down an exhaustive list of possibilities. Maybe it was my diet, maybe it was forgetting to take my vitamins, maybe it was the environment, the climate, the boogeyman and on and on it goes. Then we proceed to our more severe transgressions, such as that one time we drank too much or perhaps it was more than one time? Could it be that one time in college when we smoked that strange cigarette?
The list of maybe's goes on in an exhaustive search within our own minds as we try to get a grip on this thing called health. When we see ours fleeing we feel there must be a way to retain it, explain it and change it. Sometimes the search for answers goes on for months and often, as in my own life, is not silent. The silent service would never have recruited me because everything, or almost everything, I think flies out of my mouth. I chattered away so much I almost drove my husband to "spouseicide." I know; there is no word for wanting to "do in" your spouse but doesn't that say it more tactfully than kill, murder or bludgeon to death? Actually, I think he would have settled for a role of duct tape wrapped around my pearly lips but thankfully, he didn't go that route, either.
When I began to have pain and was put to bed for a month due to what they explained was low back pain, I still had a job waiting for me and I was trying to run it from my bed. I was frustrated, angry and guilty. Like steam from a boiling teapot, I spewed forth my frustrations, never shutting my mouth. Finally, my dear husband told me he could take the sickness and the cut in income but he couldn't take talking about it all the time. That's when I learned to shut my mouth. Unfortunately, the guilt continued. The confusion over getting diagnosed was not helpful, hence 13 doctors later and as many years can be so difficult. Three years into my pain I finally found a doctor in LA who understood and believed me. He didn't know what was wrong but he knew where it hurt and treated my symptoms. Just to be believed saved my sanity.
I know we have a lot to feel guilty about. Often, we can no longer bring in our share of the family income. Guilt. We feel unattractive, sickly and used up. Guilt. We can only carry half the load we once carried with the housework, the yard work, the shopping and the cooking. Our social lives are affected because we feel like crap and definitely don't feel like small talk, work talk or casual conversation of any kind. I was sitting on my pain and during the midst of any conversation in a restaurant or visiting with friends at their homes I felt like standing up and shouting, "I don't give a rip about this because my ass is killing me and I'm going home." Propriety usually won out and I didn't do that. Yes, I know, it surprised me, also. Little by little, I began to turn down invitations and we began to lead a quiet life. Thankfully, my husband likes that because he puts in so much time at work. We're great movie buffs and get hours of entertainment and diversion from them. Reading helps to keep the mind in focus and educating ourselves about our problems gives us a great tool. I find it helpful to keep my focus on positive reading and pleasant books and films. I don't need an ax murderer or a cannibal in my life…I've got me. I also like to read books of hope and autobiographies of those who have survived difficult times. It gives me hope by example.
The guilt is always there for those of us who are parents because we always want to give 150 percent for our kids. I felt I was giving about 20 percent and was guilty about everything. I tried to get dressed each day so I wouldn't look like Bette Davis lounging around on a fainting couch with a cold cloth on my forehead. I tried to cook good nutritious meals for my family but that involved shopping which was often beyond my scope. More guilt entered the picture.
When you find yourself living a life of compromise you are surprised because it is not the way you planned it to be. You want the problems and pain to be gone but they stick around like old fish, stinking up your life. You constantly feel control slipping through your hands. I think when we are healthy, we all believe we're in charge of our lives. It comes as quite a surprise when we realize we are not in charge of anything, and the life we planned and worked for can be taken away from us in an instant with a diagnosis from a doctor or an accident. It only takes a moment in time to change your life forever. DNA from family can chime in when it's ready and go off like a gong in your body, mind and heart.
As humans, we have this propensity for always wanting to place blame. Watch the news every night. It's always somebody's fault, someone is always getting fired, jailed or chastised. Placing blame in the case of chronic pain doesn't make any sense. I know we want to do it. If we are ill from something we've done, like smoking too much, deliberately hurting ourselves, being obese, etc. then we must make it right. These are factors we can change. DNA we can't do much about except read up on it, watch our children and deal with it on a daily basis.
Eventually we learn what we can change and we get our sorry selves off the couch and do it. We can eat correctly. We can read about our diseases or injuries and become informed. We can get a better doctor. We can stretch, move, walk and exercise. Don't tell me you can't exercise. If you can move a finger…move that finger. Eventually, you may be able to move two fingers but in the meanwhile, you will have a very strong finger. Maybe you should make it your middle finger so you can use it for other things. You and I, we have to be as "in charge" as possible and leave the rest to the doctors, and fate. Guilt keeps on knocking at the door but we don't have to let him/her in.
If we are doing the best we can with what we have been dealt, what more can life expect from us? Find as many ways as you can to take charge and gain back your life. It may be discovering a dormant talent. It may be as simple as finding a beautiful site to visit and just sitting there. Pick a flower and look at it as if you've never seen a flower before. It may be intense physical therapy. How about taking a course at the local college? How about taking a walk and meeting some of the neighbors? Visit a local museum. How about volunteering to read to the elderly or becoming a big brother or big sister? If that's too much, why not call a friend and open up your world by seeing what is going on in some else's life? The list of possibilities goes on and on.
When you find yourself looking back with regret you must stop it. Put it out of your mind and move on to tomorrow. If you actually did do something to be in your current state, like drunk driving and causing an accident, get some professional help. Life is all about forgiveness and often, we have to be reminded to apply it to ourselves. Why is that the hardest challenge of all?

Knee Osteotomy
(Osteotomy, Knee)
by Rebecca J. Stahl, MA
A knee osteotomy is the removal of a wedge of bone from the tibia to reshape and realign the leg. The tibia is the shinbone. Recovery time will depend on certain factors, such as your overall health.
Reasons for Procedure
This procedure aligns the knee joint so the healthy part of the knee surface is able to do more weight-bearing. This takes pressure off the damaged part. Damage is often due to osteoarthritis. This surgery may be done instead of a total knee replacement. It may also be done to correct poor knee alignment for other reasons.
While osteotomy does not cure conditions like osteoarthritis, the surgery may:
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Before your procedure, talk to your doctor about ways to manage factors that may increase your risk of complications such as:
Your risk of complications may be increased if you have a history of blood clots.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Prior to the surgery, tests will be ordered to confirm the diagnosis and decide how much bone to remove.
Tests may include:
Before surgery, you will need to:
Talk to your doctor about any medications, herbs, or supplements you are taking. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to 1 week before the procedure.
Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the day before your surgery, unless told otherwise by your doctor.
Anesthesia will keep you pain-free and comfortable during the procedure. Anesthesia methods include:
Description of the Procedure
There are many methods that can be used to perform an osteotomy. In one method, imaging technology is used to measure the piece of bone that will be removed. A cut is made in the skin from the knee cap to the top of the shinbone. Several thin wires are placed in the knee to serve as guides, showing where the bone should be cut. An oscillating saw is used to remove the bone wedge. The remaining parts of the bone will be held together with staples, screws, or a plate and screws. The tissue will be stitched together and the area will be closed.
How Long Will It Take?
1-3 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will block pain during the procedure. You will have pain after the procedure. Ask your doctor about medication to help manage pain.
Average Hospital Stay
You may need to stay in the hospital for 2-3 days. If you have any problems, you may need to stay longer.
Post-procedure Care
At the Hospital
Right after the procedure, you will be taken to recovery and monitored closely. The staff may:
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chances of infection such as:
At Home
To help ensure a smooth recovery at home, take these steps:
You will need to return to the doctor to have your cast removed or to have x-rays taken. Full recovery can take 6 months.
Call Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing as expected or you develop complications such as:
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Tyler, the Creator is standing up for his art.
In the wake of PepsiCo pulling its most recent Mountain Dew ad after it took heat for feeding into racial stereotypes, the Odd Future rapper is speaking out about the brouhaha, saying the accusations are "ridiculous."
The spot follows a bruised waitress scanning a police lineup of African-American men who are members of his group Odd Future along with Tyler voicing his character, Felicia the goat, who threatens the woman, telling her if she doesn't keep her mouth shut, he's going to "Dew you up." At that point, the waitress flees on crutches while a cop gulps down some Mountain Dew.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Tyler, the Creator's Mountain Dew commercial pulled
In a sit-down with Billboard, Tyler intimated that Dr. Boyce Watkins, the Syracuse University professor who started the controversy by tweeting his disapproval, was reading too much into it.
I guess people are claiming that it's racist, which... you know, that wasn't even portrayed in that commercial, there's no type of hate being portrayed in that work of art at all, which I'm confused by," the hip-hopster told the magazine. "But this older black dude, Dr. Boyce Watkins, I guess he found it racist because I was portraying stereotypes, which is ridiculous because, one, all of those dudes [in the line-up] are my friends."
VIDEO: Watch Stephen Colbert and Alan Cumming parody Brad Paisley and LL Cool J's "Accidental Racist"
Tyler pointed out that his buddies were all "in their own clothes" and no one other than Dr. Watkins who saw the commercial felt it was racist--instead, most people viewed it simply "a goat talking" or just a really dumb concept.
Not only that, but Tyler called the racism allegations "crazy" considering he directed the clip and pointed out that the first commercial in the campaign featured an African-American husband and his Asian wife and the second had a black police officer listening to "hardcore rock music"--not exactly a stereotypically African-American thing to do.
"It's just a goat," the MC argued. "I just think a goat is funny. It's no deeper meaning."
NEWS: Brad Paisley defends His "Accidental Racist" song: "I wouldn't change a thing"
As for Dr. Watkins, he did back off from his harsh criticism somewhat, tweeting, "I do not believe that Tyler was deliberately pursuing stereotypes, but that was the result. Most intelligent black people were not happy."
Tyler attributed their differing viewpoints to a generation gap, but that reasoning didn't fly with the professor, who continued to pan the ad in both a YouTube video and on his Twitter page.
"I was also a poor kid in the hood but I refused to make my money by helping to create a minstrel show. Tyler can talk to me if necessary," he wrote, later adding, "If you have a voice that reaches millions, u have an obligation to use that voice responsibly. Accidental racism is not a valid excuse."

RICHMOND, VA (April 4, 2011) – Virginia Commonwealth University officials announced today that head men's basketball coach Shaka Smart has agreed to an eight-year contract.
The agreement comes on the heels of VCU's historic appearance in the Final Four of the 2011 NCAA Tournament.
"Coach Smart's contributions to the university are unquantifiable," said VCU President Michael Rao. "His character, intelligence and pursuit of excellence embody VCU's core values."
Shaka Smart's leadership has forever raised awareness of VCU as the major public research university that it is," Rao said.
Terms will be released when the contract is fully executed. VCU Director of Athletics Norwood Teague said they indicate Coach Smart's commitment to VCU.
"True to form, Coach Smart's primary concerns were about his players, coaches and the overall support of the basketball program," Teague said. "We are honored that he has decided to stay a VCU Ram. He embodies everything that is right about college athletics, and VCU is ecstatic about the future under his leadership."
At the age of 33, Smart is among the 10 youngest head coaches at the Division I level and has guided the Black & Gold to 55 wins over the past two seasons. That is the highest win total over any two-year span in VCU history.
"I'm extremely grateful for the belief that Dr. Rao and Norwood Teague have shown and continue to show in our coaching staff and basketball program," Smart said. "Their support, in addition to the bright future that our student-athletes possess, make VCU a very special place for me to be the head basketball coach. I'm very excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for both our program and our university."
The Rams became only the third 11-seed in NCAA Tournament history to reach the Final Four with wins over USC, Georgetown, Purdue, Florida State and Kansas. It was the first year that any VCU squad had won more than one game in the NCAA Tournament.
Prior to VCU, Smart was an assistant to Florida head coach Billy Donovan. He also was an assistant coach at Clemson, Akron, and California University of Pennsylvania.
Smart played college basketball at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio where he graduated magna cum laude with a history degree. He also earned a master's degree in social science from California University of Pennsylvania.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) Fourth-seeded David Ferrer defeated Olivier Rochus of Belgium 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 in the first round of the Australian Open on Monday.
The 30-year-old Spaniard hit 30 winners and had a first-serve percentage of 71 percent. He also benefited from Rochus' 29 unforced errors.
Fresh from winning the title in Auckland last week, Ferrer has the No. 4 seeding in Melbourne because fellow Spaniard Rafael Nadal opted not to play in the Australian Open due to illness and injury.

Consider this situation: an office with 100 employees and two restrooms.
Taken literally, it is not possible for the office described to function if we assume that each employee visits the loo once per day, and the average time per visit == 10 minutes. This is easily proved with simple arithmetic. (8 hour workday*60 minutes per hour = 480 minutes per workday, 10 minutes per visit * 100 employees/2 johns = 500 minutes per crapper required)
However, it should be evident that since calls of nature cannot be scheduled to the convenience of the workplace, the actual breakdown point comes at a much lower average time per visit, still assuming one visit per employee per day.
In this challenge, your task is to to simulate this unfortunate workplace, and similar situations. Since this is an effectively bottomless problem, we're not giving you a specification, but here are some ideas you might consider:
- Basic: Model the situation as described in the post: 100 employees in a building with two restrooms. Assume that each visit takes exactly the average time, which for convenience we'll say is ten minutes. Assume visits are random impulses, evenly distributed throughout the day. Assume one visit per employee per day. Assume that toilets are unisex, and that one line serves both toilets.
As output, provide a list of employees and the time each one spent in the queue.*
- Intermediate: Get a little more realistic. "Visits" now vary in length, distributed around the average time in some reasonable fashion. (Does this change make a difference to the result?) The average time per visit can be configured.
Do a little more analysis on the output: assuming everyone leaves the building at 5:00, how long did employees spend in the queue? How many went home with bladders bursting?
- Advanced: More realistic: Toilets are gendered. (implying that employees must be gendered). "Visits" are now variable in length, clustered around two distinct averages, or perhaps four (ie, these times may vary by gender). Visits are now clustered in a more reasonable distribution. (use your imagination: consider lunch times, break times, and ordinary human psychology)
Provide visualizations of your results. Graphs would be cool. Animations of the line would be awesome.
Implementation hints:
- The obvious data structure for modelling this problem is the queue (the name sorta gives it away, doesn't it?). However, there are other approaches.
- Novice Python programmers who have not explored object-oriented python might find this a convenient opportunity to do so.
If you have questions about the challenge, post them here and Simown or I will come up with some sort of answer.
Have fun!
EDIT: * Having worked the problem, I think this might not be the most useful or interesting output. For the basic challenge, it would be acceptable to simply produce a running report of the state, or to report some interesting statistics. For example, average wait time would be interesting, and also the number of employees who were still in line at the close of business. Further analysis is up to your imagination: part of the challenge here is to figure out what sorts of information you'd like to get from this kind of model.

A Cure For The Itch
A great way to spend your evenings at home is to sit out in your yard and enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery. It is nothing short of maddening to be chased back into your home by hundreds of swarming mosquitoes buzzing around your head and painfully biting your arms, neck, and legs. You can use citronella candles and bug spray to keep them at bay but you'll have much more luck if you treat the source directly.
Mosquitoes use stagnant water as a breeding ground to produce millions of larvae. You may not be able to dry up every rain puddle around your home but by cleaning removing junk items and treating areas where water pools in your yard, you can greatly reduce the number if mosquitoes that multiply there.
Running an Aeration System in your pond will create constant motion and break the waters surface tension, which makes your pond an almost impossible breeding ground. You can apply Mosquito Bits® to small water bodies or areas that only temporarily accumulate water to kill mosquito larvae. For long term results or to treat large water bodies use Mosquito Dunks®. Both products are safe for your pets, fish, and plants as well yourself. The only types of water bodies you do not want to treat with Mosquito Bits® or Dunks® are those that are used specifically for household human consumption. You can re-apply mosquito bits ever 7 to 14 days to ensure maximum effectiveness.
Try to be thorough in your search for potential breeding locations and try to clean and maintain them as necessary, common areas like your house gutters and buckets hold water that mosquitoes use to multiply. Keeping your yard neatly trimmed and clutter free will reduce the number of mosquito bites you'll get this season so you can actually stay outside and enjoy your handy-work.

TAMPA, Fla., — David Krejci, Shawn Thornton and defenseman Adam McQuaid each scored their first goals of the season and Tuukka Rask made 23 saves as the Boston Bruins rolled over Tampa Bay.
Chris Kelly and Patrice Bergeron also scored for the Bruins, who beat the Lightning 3-1 in the season opener for both in Boston on Oct. 3. Rask turned aside nine shots each in the first and third periods to complete his 17th career shutout and first of the season.
Ben Bishop made 13 saves on 17 shots before being pulled in the second period, losing for the first time in six outings this season. Anders Lindback turned aside 4-of-5 shots in relief for Tampa Bay, which is 3-2-0 with two games left on its homestand.
Krejci moved down the middle and got his stick on Milan Lucic's feed to score only 1:32 into the contest as Boston took a 1-0 lead after one period. McQuaid doubled the advantage 4:37 into the second, ripping a shot from the top of the slot past Bishop with the help of a Jarome Iginla screen.
Bergeron took a cross-ice pass from Reilly Smith on the rush and beat Bishop from the right faceoff circle with 5:08 left in the second to make it 3-0. Kelly worked his way to the left of the net and scored his third goal of the season off a feed from Brad Marchand only 55 seconds later for the Bruins.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Rask boasts shutouts in two of his last three games against Tampa Bay and allowed only one goal in the other. … The Lightning scratched RW Brett Connolly after the former sixth-overall pick in 2010 made his season debut on Thursday. … Bruins F Carl Soderberg returned from an ankle injury and was one of twelve different Boston players with one point in his first game of the season.
