State Dept: Americans Still Hostage in Algeria
WASHINGTON (AP) - A U.S. official says Americans are still held hostage in Algeria on the third day of a standoff with militants at a natural gas complex in the Sahara.
State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland says the U.S. is working with Algeria and other governments to try to secure their release.
Nuland wouldn't say Friday how many Americans were still being held.
Nuland's confirmation comes as some Americans were being ferried out of Algeria.
BP evacuated one American along with other foreign workers to Mallorca, and then on to London.
An American official said a U.S. military C-130 flew a group people, including some lightly wounded or injured, from Algiers to a U.S. facility in Europe on Friday. The official wasn't authorized to speak publicly on the matter and requested anonymity.

The El Dorado for Algeria's "Harragas"
In the Maghreb, people who cross international borders without valid tickets and visas are known as harragas. Although the phenomenon of illegal migration from North Africa is nothing new, the destination of these migrants certainly is, writes Hamid Skif
For many years, Morocco was the first port of call for young Algerians searching for a better life in Europe. These migrants would either cross the border between the two countries, which has been closed since 1994, and try to make their way to the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla, or stow away on ships bound for Europe.
For those kissed by Lady Luck, the chosen route to Western Europe was to pay middle men large sums of money for "courtesy visas" that would allow them to travel to countries such as Bulgaria, Poland, or the Czech Republic, from where they could then set out on a westward odyssey.
The tightening of controls at the border between Algeria and Morocco following the bloodshed in Ceuta and Melilla in the autumn of 2005, meant that hundreds of young people decided to try their luck by sailing from western Algeria to Spain.
Life-threatening crossing
For several months, however, emigrants have been steering a different course, namely to Sardinia. Word of mouth has spread, turning Sardinia into the new El Dorado for Algeria's harragas. Every day the press is full of reports about their attempts to reach the Italian island.
While some of them certainly do succeed in reaching their destination, many do not. There are no statistics to indicate the extent of this phenomenon, which continues to grow.
The coast guards are having great difficulty curbing the tide of illegal crossings which cost many harragas their lives. Fishermen and the crews of merchant ships make daily reports about harragas whose little boats have capsized on the open seas.
But the horror does not end there. Several years ago, the crew of a Ukrainian cargo vessel discovered harragas stowed away on their ship and threw them overboard. Despite the fact that international warrants were issued for their arrest, neither the captain nor the sailors have been brought to justice.
Messages in a bottle from the deceased
It has also happened that before sinking into the depths, refugees manage to send messages in bottles in order to draw attention to their tragic fate.
In March of this year, the Algerian authorities arrested a dozen Egyptians who were trying to set sail for Sardinia from the port city of Annaba.
Their arrest uncovered a new network that sprang up as a result of the tightening of controls in and around the traditional embarkation points on the Libyan and Tunisian coasts, from where migrants from Africa and the Middle East try to reach the island of Lampedusa or the Italian mainland.
In Algeria, any harragas who are apprehended are brought to court and charged with attempted illegal immigration. In Tunisia, one can be sent to prison just for planning to leave the country by such means.
The incompetence of North Africa's governments
The growth of the phenomenon shows how incapable the governments of the Maghreb are in solving the problems encountered by their young people. Unemployment, lack of qualifications, and the endemic disease of corruption are driving an increasing number of young people to stake everything on getting to the land of their dreams.
What is new, however, is the fact that so many women and girls are now willing to hazard their lives for the same dream.
One might have assumed that Algeria, whose public revenues have rocketed in the light of rising oil prices, would have been able to put an end to this tragedy. This, however, has certainly not been the case thus far. The daily talk about increasing economic performance is revealed to be an empty lie by the bitter reality faced by the disillusioned.
Perplexed Europe
The European Union, which is both perplexed and helpless in the face of the extent of the phenomenon, recently agreed to create a rapid reaction force of 450 border guards, whose job it will be to get a grip on the massive influx of unwanted immigrants.
Spain has reported that approximately 6,000 people died in 2006 while attempting to reach the Spanish coast.
For several years now, this drama – which Massimo D'Alema, the Italian foreign minister, has termed the "tragedy of the 21st century" – has been the focus of many a novel and film. While writers and filmmakers use their respective arts to draw the public's attention to the tragedy, the governments on both sides of the Mediterranean continue to negotiate about their respective responsibilities in this matter.

European Migration Policy
Unqualified Migrants Not Wanted
Until now European states have regarded control of immigration policy as part of their sovereign powers. As a result, they were initially hesitant about EU-wide cooperation, but now there are signs that they are developing a common line. Bernhard Schmid reports
Migrants from Senegal
If You Don't Make It, It's Your Own Fault
There is a strong incentive for many Senegalese to come to Europe illegally. Even if they are only able to keep their heads above water with minimum-wage jobs and are among the lowest earners, migration is still a success story for many of them. Moritz Behrendt explains why
The EU's Common Asylum Policy
Rights on the Edge
One gets the impression that the aim of the EU's common asylum policy is not to protect refugees, but to protect Europe from refugees, says Karl Kopp in his commentary

Old-fashioned popcorn treats
When I was a child in northern Nebraska, popcorn balls were a holiday treat. If there was a party, someone might bring a bowl of popcorn balls. After the Christmas program at school or church, you might get a little paper sack of hard candy with a popcorn ball tucked into the top of it.
The popcorn was held in ball form by an adhesive -- a syrup, cooked at a high temperature. When it reached about 275°, it was poured over the popped corn. Then the cook, working quickly with buttered hands, shaped the hot, sticky corn into balls. When the syrup cooled, it hardened. Popcorn balls were chewy, and sometimes scratchy.
Some people's popcorn balls were packed so hard that you could barely bite them, and other people's popcorn balls were barely stuck together. It depended on the cook's method, mood, and recipe.
The flavor of the syrup varied, too. Sometimes it was molasses-based. At Christmas time, the popcorn balls were often made with red or green syrup. I think some people used Kool-ade mix to add color and flavor.
Except for a batch of popcorn balls that I made about ten years ago just for fun, I don't think I've seen a popcorn ball for several decades. Have they fallen from favor, or am I just living outside the popcorn-ball zone?
I have six Mennonite and Amish church cookbooks. It is interesting that the only one that has any popcorn recipes is the Kansas Mennonite cookbook.
I checked several of my modern cookbooks and didn't find any recipes for popcorn balls, but my 1960s Fannie Farmer, Betty Crocker, and Good Housekeeping cookbooks all have popcorn ball recipes with several variations.
My 1947 edition of The Household Searchlight Recipe Book has a "Prize Winning Recipe" for popcorn balls from Winifred J. Wells of Mooers, New York. I've posted it and a recipe for an oven-baked popcorn crunch on my recipe blog.
Related site:
History of Popcorn, Caramel Corn, Cracker Jacks, Popcorn Balls. The Nebraska popcorn-ball "legend" at the bottom of the page is interesting. I've never seen heard of sugar cane growing in Nebraska, but maybe they mean sorghum? They do grow a lot of popcorn there.
Jello Popcorn Balls. My sister says the recipes at this site are similar to the popcorn balls she made when her older sons were little. (That would have around 20 years ago!) The Jello syrup doesn't require a long, hard boiling and a candy thermometer to make sure you've got it to the right stage.

Heligan, Cornwall
For many years, hauntings terrified members of staff on a regular basis – I remember one gardener saying he simply refused to lock up the garden at night on his own. Finally, director Tim Smit alluded to the ghosts, and an attempted exorcism. A link is often made between the "atmosphere" of Heligan and the fact that so many staff were lost in the First World War.
During the early days of the restoration, some staff were deeply disturbed and apparently beset by an enveloping black mood. The most haunted areas are the rockery, melon garden and fruit store, where some gardeners prefer to work in pairs. Visitors to the bothy have also reported a strange atmosphere and there have been tales of a malevolent sensation in the grotto area.

90 Years of Making Memories – A High Hampton Inn Coffee Table Book
In honor of High Hampton Inn's 90th anniversary, Becky McKee has compiled a coffee table book that takes a look back at all of the memories shared during the past 90 seasons. You can purchase the book for $29.95, plus tax and shipping. For more information about ordering it, please visit our online shop.
Becky took a few moments to answer a few questions about why she created the book and what her favorite High Hampton Inn memories are.
1. What inspired you to create a coffee table book about High Hampton?
With the amazing number of photographs that we found when going through boxes that were stored from years ago, photographs that guests sent us, recent ones from our collection, and photos taken by professionals, I wanted to make sure people would be able to see these and enjoy them. It seemed like a great way to show everyone how High Hampton has changed in some ways over the years, yet many things have remained the same, such as the beauty that surrounds us here as well as the traditions and all of the activities that have been enjoyed and continue to be enjoyed by several generations of guests. Also, many people asked if we had a history of the Inn. The two cookbooks, High Hampton Hospitality and More High Hampton Hospitality, include some history but many people wanted to have a book completely devoted to it rather than a cookbook. Also, High Hampton tends to draw people who value the Inn's interesting past, so I thought the 90th anniversary provided me with the perfect occasion to create a book that focused on the past 90 years. My only regret is that I could not include all the photos and memories that people shared with me.
2. What types of memories were rekindled when you were putting the book together?
What really struck me when looking at the photos was the continuity that exists at High Hampton. I found photos of many people who came here as youngsters and who continue to come here (as High Hampton homeowners or Inn guests) and enjoy many of the same activities with their children and grandchildren as they enjoyed years ago. Some of these activities include hayrides, Bingo and horseracing, the donkey cart rides, playing field games and hide and seek on the spacious lawn and in the giant boxwoods, swimming and boating, The Teddy Bear Picnic, tea time, golf, tennis, and hiking. It is refreshing to know that many people still value this type of vacation that focuses on time spent with family and the enjoyment of activities that don't require electricity and value the great outdoors.
3. What is your favorite photograph included in the book?
My favorite photograph in the book is the one of James Ray Connor, the donkey handler with donkeys, Ed and Fred. Stephen McBride, the photographer, captured the love that James Ray has for "his boys," as well as the love they have for him in return.

HALAL Nail Polish! Can be worn all day, every day, all the time!
Inglot Cosmetics has come out with nail polish that allows oxygen and water to seep through. Gone are the days of having to wear nail polish ONLY during your periods, ladies!
Any woman who is a bit interested in nail polish knows that the reason it's considered haram to wear during certain times for women is that it doesn't allow water to touch the nails and is therefore thought to make wudu invalid (and prayers performed too). With this nail polish, the reason for nail polish being haram is gone. So it's halal.
Here is a link to the page containing the colours available. It's a high end brand so it's not the most affordable... It's probably twice what most of us normally might pay for nail polish... But doesn't the idea of this existing make you happy as a Muslim?
I'm not writing this as the Muslim who prays all her prayers and prevents herself from wearing nail polish except during my period... No, it's true that that is not me. But the idea is still exciting to me and I love the idea of freely wearing polish and praying, even if I have not made any of that (wearing nail polish OR praying) a habit...

When Brooks Turkel, Chestnut Hill Hospital CEO, met Jane Piotrowski and Tolis Vardakis at Pastorius Park last week, he wasn't there to dance. He stood in the grass where hundreds of Chestnut Hillers gather on summertime evenings to enjoy live music and presented the Community Fund Drive co-chairs with another $10,000 check.
This is the hospital's second donation to the Chestnut Hill Community Fund Drive. It has been earmarked for the Pastorius Park concerts.
"This is our fourth year sponsoring the concert and we are delighted to do so," Turkel, said. "The concert series is a way for people to enjoy beautiful Chestnut Hill. It's a great community builder that connects people to each other and we feel that it is important to be a part of it."
On warm Wednesday evenings in June and July, the stage at Pastorius Park comes alive with live music enjoyed by an all-age audience. Sitting on the hillside lawn, guests enjoy an evening under the stars listening to a different music genre each week.
Chestnut Hill Hospital's original contribution of $10,000 is an unrestricted gift for the Community Fund and will be applied to support the many grant requests fulfilled by the Fund. These grants enhance community beautification projects at pocket parks and train stations and provide programming for seniors, families and teens.
Past organizations which have benefitted from these grants include the Chestnut Hill Center for Enrichment, Chestnut Hill Meals on Wheels, Chestnut Hill Garden District, Friends of St. Martin's Train Station and Teenagers Inc. The Fund is a 501c3 charitable organization, guided by IRS law which allows only for the allocation of collected monies to other charitable organizations and community building projects.
At this point, the fund drive is behind last year's result. The drive ends on March 30 and its goal is $105,000. Recently, committee members made additional requests to community members to pull out their checkbooks and help meet the fund goal.
"As we near the end of our fund drive, I'm very hopeful that members of the community will rise to the occasion and send in their contributions before the March 30th deadline so we can make our goal and fully fund the recommended grants," says Jean Hemphill, president of the Chestnut Hill Community Fund.
Turkel explains that the Hospital is committed to continue their support of the Chestnut Hill Community Association.
"The Community Association and the Fund are the heartbeat of our community," he said. "We are happy to support all the good work they do and all the good will it creates!"
Chestnut Hill Hospital has sponsored the Holiday House Tour, Black & White Gala, Abzoolutely, Abzoolutely 2, and supported efforts to bring back the Main Street Fair. Donations to the Chestnut Hill Community Fund can be made at www.chestnuthill.org.

If you have, or have had, moderate to severe acne you have probably been left with some acne scars – darkened, possibly pitted marks on your skin. There are a few things you can do to prevent future scarring on your skin from acne.
First of all – treat your acne! If your acne is mild – get yourself a good, regular cleansing routine to keep your skin healthy. If your acne is moderate to severe use the Derma Cleanse System to get to the root of your acne and get your skin clear.
This next step is so important: never pick or scrub your acne! You do not want to inflame your skin or spread the acne bacteria around, which can lead to further acne and scars.
Always wear your sunscreen. Sun exposure can cause skin damage which can cause dark spots on your skin, a burn which will inflame your skin and possibly lead to more irritation, and cause your acne and its scars to heal slower.
If you already have acne scars don't worry – there is help! You should treat your acne scars sooner rather than later for best results, however you will notice a significant difference at any time. Try not to treat skin that still has a significant amount of active acne as it can irritate the current acne, use the Derma Cleanse System until your acne is at least mostly clear first. The ZENMED Scar Treatment kit has two easy steps to help with acne scars and other hyperpigmentation. The first step is the Renewing Microdermabrasion Complex which works as an exfoliant for your skin to remove dead skin, smooth the skins appearance helping with pitting, and prepare it for any other active ingredients. The second step is the Skin Eraser which is a glycolic acid lotion which helps to fade existing marks and give the skin an overall healthier look.
With a few easy treatments you will notice a significant change in your skin and you will be well on your way back to smooth, clear, glowing skin.

Courses: Combining, Continuance, Overloads, Repeating and Substitutions
Academic Criteria for Continuance
In order to be eligible to continue at The Citadel, a student must: 1. meet minimum standards for hours earned at The Citadel or for hours properly transferred from another accredited institution, and 2. maintain a minimum cumulative grade-point average (see chart below).
- These criteria are assessed initially after the cadet's second semester at The Citadel and then at the end of each two-semester period. Credits earned through AP or coursework taken by an entering freshman in the summer prior to initial matriculation WILL NOT be used toward meeting the minimum standard for hours earned in an academic year.
- Although The Citadel will notify students who are deficient in either or both areas, it is the responsibility of the student to ensure that these criteria are met. To avoid Academic Discharge, a student must meet both hour and GPA requirements concurrently either at the end of the fall semester, at the end of the spring semester, or in August, as appropriate.
- A full-time student (one carrying at least 12 credit hours each semester) must pass at least 24 semester hours in each 12-month period after initial matriculation or readmission. If a previously passed course is repeated, the hours may be used only once toward meeting requirements for hours passed.
- Part-time students must pass 50% of the hours attempted, and each student must maintain a minimum cumulative grade-point average as prescribed in the following table.
The column labeled "Total Hours" includes:
- All credits attempted for which a grade of A, B, C, D, or F was received at The Citadel
- Coursework transferred from other colleges
- Courses taken Pass/Fail or in which the grade of U was earned.
This table shows the minimum academic progress a student must make to continue at the College and to avoid Academic Discharge.
Continuance on Academic Probation
Total Hours
Grade-Point Average
100 & above
To continue without Probation, a student must meet the requirements as outlined in the following table:
Continuance Without Probation
Total Hours
Grade-Point Average
100 & above
For the purpose of determining Academic Probation, Criteria for Continuance, Dean's List, Gold Stars, Graduation, and other academic matters, the grade-point average will be computed to three decimal places.
Course Withdrawal
- A cadet will receive a W for withdrawal from a course prior to the official deadline. See the Academic Calendar
http://www.citadel.edu/root/aa-calendar for Withdrawal dates.
- A Withdrawal Form must be completed and contain the proper signatures in the following order:
- Course Instructor
- Advisor
- Registrar
After the Withdrawal date, cadets will receive the grade of "F" should they fail to complete the course or complete it unsuccessfully.
Taking or Repeating Courses to Improve the GPA
1.A student may not take or repeat a course which is taught at a lower level than or serves as a prerequisite for a course which the student has already completed
2. Courses may be repeated under the following conditions:
- No course may be repeated once a grade of B or higher has been earned.
- If a course is repeated, the last grade of record is used to determine whether course requirements for graduation have met.
- If a previously passed course is repeated, the hours may be used only once toward meeting requirements for total hours passed.
- A transfer course may be repeated to improve a GPA only if the grade of C or higher was earned at the transfer institution.
- All grades from repeated courses (that meet the above criteria) are included in computing the student's grade-point average.
Course Load Requirements
- A full-time student must be enrolled throughout each semester in coursework totaling at least 12 credit hours.
- A cadet must be a full-time student.
- Any cadet who drops below the 12-credit-hour minimum at any time during a semester is subject to discharge, unless there are extenuating circumstances.
- Such circumstances must be presented in writing to the Associate Provost for Academic Affairs.
- Students and their parents should be aware that carrying fewer than 12 credit hours may affect insurance coverage with some companies and may also affect eligibility for financial aid.
Course Overload
- The maximum course load (credit hours) which will be approved for either fall or spring semester is normally 22.
- Overloads may be requested in writing to the Associate Provost for Academic Affairs.
Course Substitutions
- Course substitutions are made only when justified by extenuating circumstances.
- Such circumstances must be presented in writing by the student; and the requested substitution must have the support of the Faculty Advisor, the Associate Dean or Department Head, and the Associate Provost for Academic Affairs.
- Forms for requesting course substitutions are available in the Registrar's Office.
Combining Courses
Courses may be combined to meet a maximum of one-general-elective requirement under the following circumstances:
- The courses to be combined must be offered by the same department and must be related in some way.
- The Associate Dean or Department Head of the student's major school or department must provide a recommendation and rationale for combining the courses.
- The Associate Provost for Academic Affairs must grant final approval for the combining of courses.
For additional academic information, please see the Course Catalog,
Graduate Courses
Students pursuing an undergraduate degree will not be permitted to enroll in graduate courses.

Chris Hartcher waited months to clear his name but the sidelined NSW Liberal minister's appearance before the corruption watchdog has ended in a shouting match and a chase through Sydney's streets.
The verbal sparring between the alleged slush fund "mastermind" and counsel assisting the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), Geoffrey Watson SC, became so heated Commissioner Megan Latham was forced to step in.
She warned the lawyers in the room to respect her authority or face the consequences.
The fiery scenes spilled onto the streets when Mr Hartcher led reporters, photographers and cameramen on a bizarre trail through three city shopping centres, and his supporters jostled with journalists.
ICAC has been investigating "sham" company EightByFive, set up by Mr Hartcher's former staffer Tim Koelma.
The company allegedly issued fake invoices to disguise banned political donations from property developers, including Sydney's Gazal family and former coal mogul Nathan Tinkler's Buildev.
Mr Hartcher is also accused of using his own nephew to launder $4000 in Liberal Party donations through his old law firm and then through a business run by the partner of long-time aide Ray Carter.
"I'm putting to you that you pocketed the $4000," Mr Watson said.
"I reject that absolutely," Mr Hartcher said.
"I reject it absolutely and I resent it."
"Don't you dare tell me you resent anything," Mr Watson bellowed, as Mr Hartcher's brief repeatedly called for a time-out.
Ms Latham put her foot down, warning both sides to "back off right now" - and she has put the dozens of lawyers involved in the inquiry on notice.
"If anyone wants to question my rulings again, then they can face the consequences. I have authority over this inquiry. Do not question my rulings," Ms Latham said.
Mr Hartcher repeatedly claimed he could not recall key conversations or transactions.
"I am putting to you that you're bunging this on, that you're conveniently hiding behind `I don't recall' when it suits you, and when you've got a speech to make, all of a sudden you have a brilliant recall, word-for-word. That's the truth of it," Mr Watson said.
"Well, I reject that," Mr Hartcher shot back.
He has admitted to putting Mr Koelma in touch with the Gazal family, with former Australian Water Holdings boss and prominent Liberal figure Nick Di Girolamo, and with executives from Buildev because he believed the companies could use a government relations consultant.
But Mr Watson said he was "right at the heart of a corrupt scheme to extract donations" from banned political donors.
"Not only did you take money from prohibited donors, but as a result of taking that money, you or people in your office either met with those donors or intervened on their behalf or did things for them to help them personally, do you accept that?" Mr Watson asked.
"No," Mr Hartcher responded.
"I did not do any favours for any persons in property."
He will be back in the witness box on Tuesday morning for cross-examination.

Drawing its roots from French cuisine, Québec's cuisine was largely shaped by the difficult early years after it was settled. Enduring harsh winters and having many mouths to feed but little to eat, people required dishes with real substance to build their new nation! Today, many traditional dishes take pride of place at Christmas and New Year's celebrations.
You can try traditional Québec cuisine for yourself at the following restaurants.
A cold meat spread similar to rillettes. Made with ground pork and seasoned with spices such as cinnamon, savory, and cloves, cretons is a Québec classic and popular spread on toast at breakfast.
A traditional dish consisting mainly of beans and pieces of pork fatback, slow-cooked in an earthenware dish. A number of variations exist, but the most popular is made with maple syrup.
A soup consisting of dry yellow peas, salt pork, and vegetables such as small pieces of carrots, simmered in water seasoned with a bay leaf. Pea soup is often part of the traditional meal served at sugar shacks.
A seasoned ground beef pie with a top and bottom crust.
A dish consisting of French fries and fresh cheese curds topped with hot gravy.
A stew made with pig's trotters, potatoes, and spices, simmered for about half a day.
A dish consisting of meatballs made with ground beef, pork, veal, or a blend of all three and typically seasoned with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves and rolled in flour. The meatballs are then simmered with onion and broth thickened with flour. It is often served with boiled potatoes.
A single-crust pie filled with a mixture of cream, flour, egg, and brown sugar, which is sometimes replaced with maple syrup.
A dessert made with white cake batter and a brown sugar and cream sauce. Both parts are layered in a pan and baked until a sweet syrupy pudding with a cakey topping forms.
Québec City's gourmet scene is one of the best in North America. From fine cuisine to casual dining restaurants, the choice is yours!

Glamhoth is a Sindarin word for Orcs. Literally, it means "the dinhorde, the yelling horde", and is a descriptive term referring to the loud and barbarous speech of the Orcs.[1]
[edit] Etymology
The first part, glam, means "barbaric speech", and is an expansion of lam, "tongue, language". An individual within the group is referred to as a glamog, and glam appears in Glamdring. The second element, hoth is a common suffix to denote a collection of people.
[edit] Phrases
[edit] Commentary
Throughout history, populations have always considered the languages of other peoples inferior, or uncouth to the ears. The term "Barbarian" originally meant "brabbler". Similarly, Germany is called "Land of the Mute", "land of those who do not speak our tongue" in some Slavic countries. A similar pattern is found in Adûnaic, where the word for "shout" (rûkh) is related to the words for "Orc", uruk.

The family of a woman in Central Indiana who died when a 4,100 pound pallet of bottled water fell on her at a Kroger store is suing Nestle Waters, arguing that the reason for the accident lies in the water bottles' "eco-shape" design. According to the family, these bottles use less plastic, and therefore, can't support as much weight as previous bottles.
Now, I'm not a huge fan of bottled water, and Nestle's motives behind this supposed "eco-friendly" water bottle design are questionable (is this simply more green washing to boost profit?) But this might just be good enough to make it onto the list of the "10 Most Ridiculous Lawsuits of All Time." Right up there with the one that started it all… (how dare McDonald's serve hot coffee without a warning label?!? And how dare Nestle serve water in a bottle that might be better for the environment!) Apparently, "Nestle Waters didn't immediately respond to a request for comment." Honestly, though Nestle might be among the worst corporations of 2010, and although they might fully deserve to be sued, I can't say I blame them.
Bottled water is clearly dangerous, on multiple levels. But manufacturing bottles with more plastic is not the solution, as it only leads to a worse fate for our planet – and the billions of people living on it. This incident is just one of several recent incidents which underscore the dangers of bottled water – providing even more incentive to drop the bottled water habit, altogether..

The Arctic Brotherhood Hall, an example of rustic architecture, was built in 1899 for the Fraternal Order of the Arctic Brotherhood. Eleven men organized the fraternity on February 26, 1899, while en route from Seattle to Skagway. The organization was formed to provide mutual assistance, friendship, and social interaction in the northern communities.
Questions for Photo 5
1. Why do you think this building became one of the most photographed buildings in Alaska?
2. Describe the exterior. Why might the Brotherhood have wanted to decorate their building in this way?
3. What activities do you think might have taken place here?
* The image on the screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high resolution version of Photo 5, but be aware that it will take about 30 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Old ladies of the Appennino Mountains
Two old ladies having a relaxed time in the small town of Valboncione, in the Appennino mountains, in Italy. Both are in their 80s and very friendly towards foreigners (like me) visiting their village.
They told me that they live there year-round but that, in winter, the whole village has only 4 inhabitants! When I asked them if they have Internet in the village, they said that they had heard of it, but that they had no idea of what it was. They seem to be perfectly prepared for the post-peak world!
Here are a couple of pictures from the Web, just to give you some idea of what kind of place Valboncione is
above: from scmlink.it
Above from http://www.capresemichelangelo.net/storia/
You can find pictures of other old ladies of the Appennino on Cassandra's legacy at this link.
Very nice pictures and stories of travels in Italy in August can be found in the blog "Italian Slow Walks" by "SantaTatiana"

Hi, Ugo! Thank you for your kind reference!ReplyDelete
It's great that you write about old ladies of the Appennino. They enjoy their tranquil autumn and are full of wisdom.
I am reminded of Jeff Vail's "Envisioning a Hamlet Economy" (April 15, 2009), the second essay in his bucolic anthology "What is Rhizome?"ReplyDelete
He includes some pictures in "Part 2: Topology Lessons from a Tuscan Hill Town" to illustrate a beautiful place as you have again pictured, Dr. Bardi.
Ah, a Tuscan hill town with Bach's Pastorale in F major! Yet my caretakers are still in love with their vinyl-sided box surrounded by a barren parking lagoon, frantically driving to and fro to other ugly boxes at all hours of the day for what a simple villager merely walks to the corner. Hamsters have better lives, even dead ones.
Could somebody inquire if those two old ladies have enough tuna to feed a wannabee country mouser until I learn more primitive hunter-teaser skills? I have become venal. I want to drink again from the wild streams of life.

Valboncione radiates beauty in a beautiful setting.ReplyDelete
But it reminds me of a story told by my father's uncle Frank, about driving along the west coast of Ireland in the late 1940's. He and his wife had stopped the car and were admiring the stunning scenery when they heard a tinkle-bell. It turned out to be from a small herd of sheep, tended by an early-adolescent boy. After they exchanged greetings, Uncle Frank observed, "Your sheep don't have much to eat here, do they?" The boy replied, "No, but they sure have a great view!"
Uncle Frank and my Dad agreed that the truth must not be allowed to get in the way of a good story. Nonetheless, the boy remained, and Uncle Frank & Aunt Dade returned to NYC.

Rear seat passengers will enjoy their journey as never before with our new generation entertainment system, with LCD screens served by dedicated DVD players. Wireless headphones and one remote control are included, too.

There is nothing more challenging than trying to negotiate tight exits and junctions, which often have restricted visibility. We aim to make that easier for you with our Park Assist Camera, front blind view, which allows you to 'see around corners' with a 180° field of vision to the left and right in front of you.
Park assist camera, rear
Reversing into a tight parking space can be a stressful experience – wouldn't it be good to have "eyes in the back of your head"? Your Volvo can provide that kind of supernatural ability with a camera mounted in the bootlid, which dramatically increases your field of vision behind the car.

Roof load carriers
These specially designed load carriers fit neatly and securely into your Volvo's prepared mounts. They are easy to install and to combine with additional holders if required. And even though the focus here is on function, the load carriers are designed to blend harmoniously with your Volvo's styling.
Luggage compartment mat, plastic
Specially designed for your S60, this stylish plastic mat features a high-friction coating to stop your load sliding around. It also prevents dirt and water from entering the luggage compartment itself.
Tunnel mat, rubber floor mats
This mat made of natural rubber protects your Volvo's original carpet from dirt and wear and tear. The mat follows the shape of the tunnel and is constructed of sturdy rubber with a subtle pattern on the upper side. Made of sturdy natural rubber and sealing tightly against the floor, this fully covering floor mat has raised edges all around and gives effective protection against wet and dirt. The driver's mat has a comfortable textile foot plate that protects the shoes from wear.
Nothing is more important than the safety of you and your passengers. And as you'd expect from us, our child seats are among the safest you'll find.
Infant seat (up to 13kg)
Infants up to one year of age travel safely in this rear-facing seat. Side wings help protect in a side impact, and you can easily adjust the padded headrest and five-point harness. There's a canopy to block the sun, too. This infant seat is also easy to carry and can be used as a carrycot.

There was not a single woman scheduled to speak at the march, and when the lone woman on the 19-member planning committee protested, the organizers threw together a last-minute "Tribute to Women" in which A. Philip Randolph introduced [Rosa] Parks and other dignitaries...while they sat there silently..."Nowadays, women wouldn't stand for being kept so much in the background, but back then women's rights hadn't become a popular cause yet," said Parks later.Keep the women of the civil rights movement in mind this week as the memorial ceremonies culminate with a dedication on Sunday, August 28.

There are 100% open source alternatives to Ventrilo. We highly recommend Mumble for those that are looking into setting up this type of server. Mangler exists to bridge the gap for people who don't have that choice. Ventrilo is the de facto standard for guild/clan conversation and Linux doesn't have an implementation. The official Ventrilo client for Linux has been "in development" since 2005. Since it seems they have no intention of releasing a Linux client, we have taken up the task.
Many people ask if a server is the next step. Our answer is no. If you're setting up a server, you should check out Mumble. The Ventrilo protocol includes a call home feature that checks the server's license every time you connect. These tactics are anathema in open source ideology.
Reasons you should use Mumble:
* The server is free and does not have any of the bizarre limitations of Ventrilo servers
* It's open source and is actively developed for all major platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux). iPhone and Android clients are currently in development
* It is truly low latency. Compared to Mumble, Ventrilo's latency is astronomical
* The CELT codec is far superior to both speex and GSM
* Mumble does not have a forced call-home check.
* The Ventrilo network protocol itself is atrocious. It looks like it was written as a bad highschool programming project.

July, 1846.
How can I ever thank you half enough, my dear mr. Boner, for the two charming volumes, which I have just received, and for the surprise, the honour, and the gratification of the prefatory address. The books are, in every sense of the word, beautiful; the illustrations worthy of the stories, and the translation best of all The one only word that I have found to change in the next edition is "grey" as, applied to the Nightingale - lowly brown is the right colour, though no doubt Mr. Andersen said "grey." Don't you remember that Thompson, always so accurate, talks of her russet 'robe. That story of "The Nightingale," which contains so fine an allegory, and "The Wild Swans," seem to me the most charming of the book. Is that your own opinion? Once more accept my truest thanks.

פסגת מיקרוביט בכנס פיקון באנגליה
This year for the first time, we're having a micro:bit mini Summit as part of PyCon UK. PyCon UK has always had a special place in micro:bit history; it's where those who created MicroPython for the micro:bit first met, where many of the MicroPython APIs were designed with the collaboration of the community, and there are even rumours that it's the place where several early micro:bits were smuggled out to the wider Python community so that people could hack on MicroPython…
The mini summit will happen alongside the main conference, and is a chance for the UK micro:bit community to get together, share the things we've made, are proud of, frustrated by, and plan how to make micro:bit and MicroPython even better for the year to come. This means we'll include talks, tutorials, and perhaps most importantly space to demonstrate the projects you've made!
In the spirit of collaboration, there's still a lot to pin down, but we can be sure it'll be a day of inspiring educational fun!
We've got a provisional talk schedule planned (subject to change, especially if you send us suggestions about what you'd like to see there)
- State of the Union: Where are we, where are we going, and why we'd love you to help
- Community talk 1: Running a workshop with micro:bit and MicroPython - the good, the bad and the ugly
- Community talk 2: tales from the frontline of school IT
- How (not) to build a BBC micro:bit: engineering lessons from delivering 1M micro:bits to UK schools
- Accessories, modules and micro:bit, best practice: (avoiding copy/paste) (recommended session for resellers and hardware designers)
- Community Discussion - the first 90% and the second 90% - how to balance community projects with hard stability requirements, deadlines and less technical users?
All afternoon we'll be running a show and tell session where we're inviting everyone to come along, try the micro:bit and see what other people have built. If you've made an accessory, a creation or something with micro:bit then please come and share it. We'll have a section of the Show and Tell dedicated to micro:bit and Raspberry Pi projects, so get your USB cables out and start playing!
If you're new to the micro:bit world, this will also be a chance to come and try micro:bit for the first time under the guidance of a community of Python experts.
We'd love you to come and join us. As we're part of PyCon UK, you should register for the Sunday of the conference, and tickets include attendance, refreshments and lunch.http://2017.pyconuk.org/tickets/
If you're coming, or want to see what's happening you can join the #pyconuk channel in the microbit-community slack channel

TomTom was relatively early to jump on the smartphone bandwagon with its TomTom for iPhone app. But it has studiously ignored the increasingly capable Android platform, until now. At last, you can install TomTom-powered navigation on your Android-run smartphone. With the free Google Maps Navigation providing stiff competition for nothing, the question is whether a premium sat-nav app has enough extra to be worth shelling out for.
TomTom Navigation for Android Features
Things don't get off to the best of starts at the installation stage. Annoyingly, at launch the TomTom app will only work with screen resolutions of 800 or 854 x 480, which currently counts out the Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC One X, as well as most tablets. This is a major drawback, and is sure to subdue sales amongst premium device users, who are most likely to want to shell out for high-end navigation software. TomTom has pledged support for higher-resolution screens soon, but we opted to test the TomTom app on a Motorola Motoluxe to be sure of compatibility. You also need Android 2.2 or higher, but every recent handset should have this anyway, or the option to upgrade.
Prices start at £30.99 for UK and Ireland maps, with Western Europe costing £39.99 and the whole of Europe £49.99, although these figures are an introductory offer for an unspecified time only. There are also versions for most of the rest of the world, including North America, South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand, but only Brazil in South America, and just Southern Africa. It's worth noting that this is a big app. The initial download is less than 25MB, but when you first load the software it will then bring down the maps associated with your chosen purchase. The European software we tested takes up a cool 3.31GB, and there's no option at this stage of choosing just to install some of the countries covered – it's the whole of Europe, or nothing. So you will need to have at least that much space available on your device's internal memory or removable storage. On the plus side, unlike Google Maps, you will be able to use this software when you have no mobile data connection, as all the maps are stored locally.
Once the app is installed and running, the interface has most of the same features as the iPhone 5 compatible version, although the design aesthetics and menu configuration are quite different. Simply tap the map to call up the menu, where you can set your destination, or create a multi-waypoint trip, as well as access settings and the shop. Destination options include navigating to a full UK postcode, an address entered in the usual city-street-number order, or one of your contacts. There is no keyword address search, but the full category-based Points of Interest (POI) system does have this feature.
You can save favourites and a home location, as well as browse a list of recently found destinations. However, conspicuous by its absence is Google Local Search, a particularly strange omission on a Google-powered phone. There's also no option to enter raw coordinates, although not many people use this frequently. Once you have found your destination, IQ Routes is used for calculation. Real average traffic speeds are taken into account, based on time of day and day of week, so your route could be different depending on when you want to travel. In previous testing, we have found this provides much more realistic journey-time estimations than sat-navs that don't have this feature.
Unlike other sites, we thoroughly test every product we review. We use industry standard tests in order to compare features properly. We'll always tell you what we find. We never, ever accept money to review a product. Tell us what you think - send your emails to the Editor.

Our 'Reassured' Allies
Justin Logan beat me to the punch, but Robert Kagan and Dan Blumenthal's op‐ed in the Washington Post warrants more than just one comment. Kagan and Blumenthal fret that the Obama administration's policy of "strategic reassurance" is sure to fail. Aimed at encouraging Russia and China, especially, to cooperate with the United States in dealing with a number of common threats, the two predict that the policy will succeed only in making "American allies nervous."
Maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing. Not that we should go around making our allies nervous just for the heck of it, but I worry that our allies have grown, well, too comfortable with the current state of affairs in which American taxpayers and American troops bear a disproportionate share of the costs of securing global peace and prosperity.
And who can blame them? From the perspective of our allies in East Asia (chiefly the Japanese and the South Koreans), and for the Europeans tucked safely within NATO, getting the Americans to pay the costs, and assume the risks, associated with policing the world is a pretty good gig.
The same Robert Kagan made this point explicitly, if somewhat crudely, in his book Of Paradise and Power, when he cast the United States in the heroic role as sheriff, while our wealthy allies were portrayed as cowardly, sniveling townspeople, or, worse, saloon keepers who benefited from the protection of the Americans while selling booze to the bad guys.
For at least two decades, we have adopted a strategy designed to comfort our allies. Our goal has been to discourage them from taking prudent steps to defend themselves. Many Americans are beginning to appreciate just how short‐sighted this policy was, and is. Such military capabilities might have proved useful in Afghanistan, for example, and they might ultimately serve a purpose in checking Russian and Chinese ambitions, which would be particularly important if these two countries prove as aggressive as Kagan and Blumenthal claim.
Instead, we have a group of militarily weak and comfortable allies who spend a fraction of what Americans spend on defense, and who can muster political will with respect to foreign policy only when it entails criticizing the United States for not doing enough. In other words, we are reaping what we sowed.
But don't take my word for it. Vassilis Kaskarelis, the Greek ambassador to the United States, bluntly explained the disconnect between what we want our allies to do, and what they are willing to do. As reported by the Washington Times:
NATO members' reluctance to assume a larger role in Afghanistan is partly the legacy of U.S. military protection, which allowed Europeans to stress social programs over defense for decades, the Greek ambassador to the United States said.
"For 40 years, you have a system [of] not bothering about military, security and stability expenses," [Mr.] Kaskarelis told editors and reporters of The Washington Times. "Because these issues were handled by the United States after World War II … everybody was happy."
Mr. Kaskarelis said…that most European governments support the war in Afghanistan but lack the military infrastructure to contribute as equal partners.
"They don't have the capabilities, because in the last 50 years, the U.S. offered an umbrella in terms of military, security and stability," he said. "You had the phenomenon [in which] most of the successful European economies — countries like France, Germany, the Scandinavians — channeled all the funds they had on social issues, health care, pensions, you name it."
Mr. Kaskarelis noted that this system grew out of the wreckage of World War II and that without U.S. aid, his own country "wouldn't exist today" as an independent, democratic state. But to readjust is difficult, he said.
"Can you imagine how a government can sell such … an idea to its general public without having a revolution? They cover the expense of the hospital, but to say, 'We won't cover 100 percent of your medical expenses, we will start covering 80 percent, because the other 20 percent [will be used] to upgrade our military capabilities to be used in NATO and Afghanistan. Can you imagine this?"
(H/T Charles Zakaib)
Actually, I can "imagine" a time when other countries are responsible for their own defense. Indeed, I wrote a book on the subject. Maybe I'll send Amb. Kaskarelis a copy? And while I'm at it, perhaps Messrs. Kagan and Blumenthal should get one too?

I love a good scary movie or book. If you aren't watching "The Walking Dead," why aren't you? If you do, you know about zombies.
My daughter, now a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin—a third-generation Badger—loved the "Twilight" books. I've been told there are vampires and werewolves involved.
TCPA, on the other hand, is real, seriously scary, and has been around for more than 20 years. But I bet many of you have never heard of TCPA.
Congress passed the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) in 1991. It gives members the right to sue, including class-action lawsuits, to collect damages for receiving unsolicited marketing calls, texts, and faxes generated by autodialing machines.
The rules are complicated and hard to describe. But what makes TCPA so scary is the damages associated with violations of the rules, ranging from $500 per negligent violation up to $1,500 per knowing violation of the rules.
As you can see, if you are unaware of the rules, you could quickly expose your credit union to millions of dollars of potential damages.
If the law has been around since 1991, why write about it now? Two reasons:
1. Lawyers have discovered the large amounts of damages that can be won in class action lawsuits. Additionally, as this is a "strict liability" statute, it doesn't matter what a caller's intent was if they call without express consent of the owner of the cell phone.
Thus, if you have a person's consent, but the phone is transferred to another individual and you call that number, some courts have held you violate the rule even though you didn't intend to call that individual and thought you were calling the previous owner of the phone.
2. There was a change in the rules regarding TCPA that went into effect October 16, 2013.
These new rules have three major components you need to be aware of:
?Members must now provide prior express written consent to receive marketing calls, texts, and faxes. Previously, only prior express consent was needed.
The difference? Under the old rules, for example, a member giving you their cell phone number was deemed to have given you prior express consent to receiving calls or texts.
?The prior written consent must contain a clear and conspicuous disclosure that the person is authorizing the calls and that agreeing to the calls is not a requirement to obtain the loan or services being offered by the credit union.
?The credit union may no longer rely on prior express consent in making telemarketing calls to members. In other words, you have to start over to get consent from your members.
What does this mean for your credit union?
If you are using an automated dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded message, you must make sure you obtain prior authorized written consent to make those calls.
You also must have processes in place to monitor and manage lists on numbers to which you make calls to ensure, the best you can, the numbers are for phones for which you have received prior express written consent to call. This includes processes to ensure people who revoke consent are accommodated.
Watch closely the legal climate around TCPA. New decisions on particular fact situations may affect your programs. These decisions are being rendered by courts extremely frequently.
Autodialing systems and prerecorded messages may be a tremendous productivity enhancer for your credit union. But they can be a scary source of risk and loss for you, too.
Zombies and vampires might not be real—but TCPA is.

Otis Smith: 'Stan Van Gundy is our coach'
"Coaches and players have been doing this for years, you just happened to see this play out in the public," Smith said. "To the organization's credit, Stan Van Gundy is still our coach and Dwight Howard is still our player and we're still trying to win basketball games."
HoopsVibe's Very Quick Call: What else can Otis Smith say?
In order to salvage the Orlando Magic's season, Smith must downplay the rift between coach Stan Van Gundy and superstar Dwight Howard.
It may be too little, too late.
Clearly, Howard has owner Rich Devos' ear. And if the club wants to sign Howard to an extension then Smith and Van Gundy may get pink-slipped.
For most, such a dynamic would be difficult, but Van Gundy is used to getting knifed in the back. Remember, Pat Riley crossed him with the Miami Heat, coming out of the executive suite to 'take over' for Van Gundy.
So expect the Magic to keep chugging along. But beating LeBron James' Heat and Derrick Rose's Bulls will be tough, if not impossible, with such a cloud hanging over the organization.
Got thoughts? Well, get at HoopsVibe News in the comment box below.

For years, Republicans benefited from economic growth. So did pretty much everyone else, of course. But I have something specific in mind. Politically, when the economy is booming -- or merely improving at a satisfactory clip -- the distinction between being pro-business and pro-market is blurry. The distinction is also fuzzy when the economy is shrinking or imploding.
But when the economy is simply limping along -- not good, not disastrous -- like it is now, the line is easier to see. And GOP politicians typically don't want to admit they see it.
Just to clarify, the difference between being pro-business and pro-market is categorical. A politician who is a "friend of business" is exactly that, a guy who does favors for his friends. A politician who is pro-market is a referee who will refuse to help protect his friends (or anyone else) from competition unless the competitors have broken the rules. The friend of business supports industry-specific or even business-specific loans, grants, tariffs or tax breaks. The pro-market referee opposes special treatment for anyone.
Politically, the reason the lines get blurry in good times and bad is that in a boom, the economic pie is growing fast enough that the friend and his competitor alike can prosper. In bad times, when politicians are desperate to get the economy going, no one in Washington wants to seem like an enemy of the "job creators."
But in a time when people bitterly wonder, "Is this as good as it gets?" Republicans have to decide whether European-level growth means we should have European-style policies. In Europe, big corporations are national institutions where big labor unions collect their dues -- with help from the state.
Democrats, who often look longingly at the way they do things across the pond, don't have the same dilemma as Republicans. For a century or more, progressives have believed in public-private partnerships, industrial policy, "Swopism," corporatism and other forms of picking winners and losers. The winners always promise to deliver the "jobs of tomorrow" in return for help from government today. (Solyndra is running behind on keeping its end of the deal.)
Many Republicans are rhetorically against this sort of thing, but in practice, they're for it. (Even Ronald Reagan supported trade protections for Harley-Davidson.) This is especially true at the state level, where GOP governors are willing to do anything to seduce businesses their way. Texas is a good example. Gov. Rick Perry has been heroic in keeping taxes and regulatory burdens low. But he's also helped his friends -- a lot. Few on the right in Texas care, because Texas has been doing so much better than the rest of the country.
GOP politicians can't have it both ways anymore. An economic system that simply doles out favors to established stakeholders becomes less dynamic and makes job growth less likely. (Most jobs are created by new businesses.) Politically, the longer we're in a "new normal" of lousy growth, the more the focus of politics turns to wealth redistribution. That's bad for the country and just awful politics for Republicans. In that environment, being the party of less -- less entitlement spending, less redistribution -- is a losing proposition.
Also, for the first time in years, there's an organized -- or mostly organized -- grassroots constituency for the market. Historically, the advantage of the pro-business crowd is that its members pick up the phone and call when politicians shaft them. The market, meanwhile, was like a bad Jewish son; it never called and never wrote. Now, there's an infrastructure of Tea Party-affiliated and other free-market groups forcing Republicans to stop fudging.
A big test will be on the Export-Import Bank, which is up for reauthorization this year. A bank in name only, the taxpayer-backed agency rewards big businesses in the name of maximizing exports that often don't need the help (hence its nickname, "Boeing's Bank"). In 2008, even then-Sen. Barack Obama said it was "little more than a fund for corporate welfare." The bank, however, has thrived on Obama's watch. It's even subsidizing the sale of private jets. Remember when Obama hated tax breaks for corporate jets?
Friends of the Ex-Im Bank are screaming bloody murder. That's nothing new. What is new is that the free market is on line two.

NORTON, Va. – When trying to solve a complex problem, two heads are better than one.
And when working to provide the best care and treatment for their patients, the expert specialists at the Southwest Virginia Cancer Center, which is part of the Wellmont Cancer Institute, involve an entire community of multispecialty caregivers to focus their collective efforts on determining the best course of action for specific cancer cases.
Each week, physicians, nurses and other staff at the Southwest Virginia Cancer Center gather in a meeting room to teleconference with colleagues at the Christine LaGuardia Phillips Cancer Center at Holston Valley Medical Center in Kingsport. They have one overarching goal: determine the most effective treatment plans for patients with complicated cancer diagnoses.
These meetings, called cancer conferences, utilize advanced teleconferencing technology that allows experts in Norton and Kingsport to simultaneously view scans, test results and other information in real time – without having to take time away from patients to drive long distances to meetings each week.
"The cancer conferences give participants the chance to discuss more difficult, complex cancer cases," said Dr. Hayan Moualla, a Southwest Virginia Cancer Center medical oncologist who practices with Wellmont Medical Associates Oncology & Hematology. "Patients benefit by getting a room full of experts to weigh in on their cases. We get multiple brains working on and thinking about patient cases."
Patients also receive a speedier treatment plan.
"The cancer conferences are particularly beneficial for patients because a treatment plan can be generated more quickly," said Karla Lane, the Southwest Virginia Cancer Center's director. "Everyone is in the same room at the same time. It breaks down the time barrier because there's no need to wait for replies to calls or emails."
Among the professionals in the rooms in Kingsport and Norton are medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, radiologists, research nurses, a genetic counselor , a research nurse and other nurses.
Cancer conferences give physicians and other staff members the chance to learn from each other – and having the team at Norton meet with the team from Kingsport every week allows for even more ideas and expert discussion.
"Even though the conferences are meant to help patients, they help me as a physician as well," Dr. Moualla said "They help me better take care of patients because I get to hear multiple perspectives, and I learn as we discuss the cases."
Cancer conferences are considered a best practice in the treatment of cancer.
"Cancer conferences are highly encouraged by authorities in the cancer treatment world," said Dr. Moualla. "They are part of the quality measures agreed upon by experts in the field worldwide."
In addition to providing patients with a variety of expert opinions and giving the medical team opportunities to learn, studies have shown cancer conferences improve patient outcomes. They also represent the commitment of the Southwest Virginia Cancer Center – and all of the members of the Wellmont Cancer Institute – to help patients fight and beat cancer as a team.
"We don't stop thinking about our patients when they leave the office," Lane said. "We care about our patients and are committed to providing them the best care available anywhere, right here, close to home."

Man accidentally shoots girlfriend while hunting
Hunter says he was aiming for hog
BRANDON, Fla. – A 52-year-old Brandon woman is recovering after her boyfriend accidentally shot her instead of a hog while the two were hunting in Central Florida.
Flagler County sheriff's deputies said it happened Saturday night at the Cowart Hunt Camp on County Road 305.
Deputies said Steven Egan, 52, and his girlfriend Lisa Simmons were inside a tent when Egan saw a hog. He shot at the hog but wasn't sure if he hit it.
Egan then walked out of the tent to look for the hog. When he heard some rustling in the woods, he fired again.
Instead of hitting the hog, Egan shot Simmons with his .30-caliber rifle. The bullet went through both of her legs.
Egan told police he didn't know Simmons had left the tent.
Simmons was airlifted to Halifax Medical Center, where she underwent surgery Saturday evening. She was listed in serious condition.
