Terry Jones Wicked "Pastor" Of Hate
Many Americans may see Jones as a reckless lunatic, many in the Muslim world actually think he is a respectable minister with official U.S. government sanction and even approval for his actions.
[Black Star News Editorial]
Terry Jones, the alleged "pastor" in Florida who conducted a "trial" at his "church" on March 20 and found the Holy Quaran "guilty" and condemned the Muslims' Holy book to "death" and had a copy burned must bear responsibility and consequences for the violent reaction he's unleashed.
While Jones may talk about his constitutional right to freedom of expression he knew that violence and even bloodshed would follow. Freedom of speech also comes with serious responsibilities and obligations. If a person yells "fire" falsely in a crowded theater and 20 people are trampled to death should the instigator go scott free?
The United Nations' outpost in an Afghan town was overrun and more than a dozen employees brutally hunted down and murdered by mobs on the orders of Mullahs after Jones had the Quaran burned. The revenge protests have continued in other cities like Jalalabad and more people have been killed.
Jones has claimed he does not "feel responsible for the attack." We doubt the relatives of the murder victims feel the same way. Jones has instead called on the United States to "punish" militarily those who reacted violently in Afghanistan after the Quaran burning.
Jones can't be referred to as a "pastor." He does not preach or teach the message of any of the Gods known to most humanity. He preaches hate. Why did he deliberately provoke Muslims, who number more than 1.5 billion around the world, by burning the Quaran? Muslims often retaliate even against other Muslims accused of profaning the Quaran or the prophet Muhammad.
So Jones knew that the burning of the Quaran in a Christian church would invite violent reaction. Yet he did it anyway. Jones was warned last year when he first threatened to burn the Quaran as part of his opposition to the building of the Islamic Cultural Center near the site of the 911 attacks in New York.
Even defense Secretary Robert Gates last year warned Jones that violent reaction in the Middle East would jeopardize U.S. lives and efforts in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
Jones should immediately apologize for what he did even though he is constitutionally protected to exercise his right to freedom expression. Why should the lives of real Christians and other innocent people be put at risk for the actions of this depraved man?
The Afghan president has called on President Obama and the U.S. Congress to also denounce Jones' reckless action. This is not the purview of U.S. officials even though President Obama has denounced the burning as a "bigotted" act.
Now Muslims around the world will be watching the U.S. reaction and Jones'.
In much of the Muslim world a religious leader is bestowed with much esteem and respectability. Many religious leaders are seen as political leaders or the guides and actually superiors to elected political officials. In Iran for example, the Ayatollahs are even more powerful than President Mahmoud Ahmadinejan.
So while many Americans may see Jones as a reckless lunatic, many in the Muslim world actually think he is a respectable minister who has official U.S. government sanction and even approval for his actions.
Jones is reportedly planning a protest march to denounce Islamic extremism for their reaction to his Quaran burning. He is callously inviting more violence against targets in Afghanistan, elsewhere in the Muslim world and perhaps even in the United States.
Members of Jones' "church" should on their own accord denounce what the alleged pastor did. They should either abandon his church or find a new pastor who can spread the words and teachings of God rather than engage in a religious crusade.
They should not follow the alleged "pastor" down the road to further fire and disaster.

Lockdown: ER plays it safe
Maybe it was the nearly full moon. After two separate shootings June 29, the UVA Medical Center Emergency Room was locked down twice in one day– something that apparently happens only once in a blue moon.
Lockdowns sound so big city. How frequently do they happen in this bucolic burg?
"It's not something we track," says spokesperson Abena Foreman-Trice, who estimates the emergency room is locked down seven or eight times a year. Twice in one day "sounds unusual," she says.
The first came after Herbert Thomas Brown allegedly chased his wife, Wendy Brown, out of B&B Cleaners in Crozet and shot her. He left the scene, and his absence prompted an ER lockdown. (Police caught up with Brown in Batesville about an hour after the shooting.)
"There's been a shooting, and they don't have the person in custody," explains UVA Police Captain Michael Coleman. "It's better to err on the side of caution."
The second lockdown came that evening after two men mixed it up at the Arrington Mini-Mart, according to an account in the Daily Progress. Robert Charles Hall and James Howard Cloniger apparently had been arguing about their military records for the past 10 years.
Witnesses say Cloniger whacked Hall in the stomach with a bamboo walking stick, Hall bashed Cloniger in the head with a carpenter's level, and Cloniger pulled out a .45-caliber pistol he'd stashed in the bushes and shot Hall in the head.
Neither men's injuries were life threatening. Hall reportedly drove home and then a helicopter flew him to the ER, and an ambulance took Cloniger. Again, the UVA Medical Center ER locked down.
Foreman-Trice says both lockdowns lasted until the capture of the suspects, when police said it was safe to reopen the ER.
Neither Coleman nor Foreman-Trice could elaborate on why the ER was shut down a second time– or if it closes to visitors every time a gunshot-wound victim comes in. "The ER manager makes the decision," says Foreman-Trice. Calls to emergency medicine chief Marcus Martin were referred to Coleman and Foreman-Trice.
According to Foreman-Trice, no patients are turned away during a lockdown.
However, an emergency room staff member says that ambulances have been diverted to Martha Jefferson at such times.
For some ER staff and visitors, the approximately hour-long June 29 lockdowns were an inconvenience. One nurse, who asked that her name not be used, says the distraught wife of a cardiac patient was denied permission to see her husband during the lockdown.
"I imagine they'd continue to wait," says Foreman-Trice of family members and friends in the waiting room. Whether they can come into treatment areas to see patients is determined by the ER manager.
Other incidents that would prompt a lockdown: a multi-casualty incident such as a plane crash or train wreck, a terrorist attack, or major civil disobedience nearby, or, as in the June 29 double lockdown, fear of "imminent danger" to the patients, visitors, or staff.
Fans of the 10-year-old NBC series ER know the busy Chicago hospital rarely locks down– even when a helicopter crashes outside its doors or staff members are stabbed.
"TV shows are not reality," says Coleman. "We're in a different age from 10 years ago."
Now, if a husband shoots his wife at the dry cleaners, or two grown men go at each other in a convenience store parking lot, UVA Medical Center is taking no chances.
But "two shootings in one day– that does make it unusual," observes Coleman.
Two recent shootings closed the UVA emergency room twice in one day.

SPANISH FORK, Utah (AP) — The father of a woman who died along with her two children and mother in a Spanish Fork murder-suicide called the killings "unimaginable" and said he's angry "like you wouldn't believe" at his son-in-law.
Authorities said Lindon police officer Joshua Boren, 34, shot the four people last week before committing suicide. Boren was the husband of one victim and the father of the two children.
The five bodies were discovered at the family home late Thursday.
Jeff King said he's been passing sleepless nights by planning a funeral for his 32-year-old daughter, Kelly Boren, his 7-year-old grandson, Jaden, his 5-year-old granddaughter, Haley, and his 55-year-old ex-wife, Marie King.
"You look for understanding, and there is none," King told KSL (http://bit.ly/1eQ0dLQ ) on Monday. "You can't describe how you're feeling. . They were my whole world."
King said Joshua Boren had moved out of the house and into an apartment in September, but the couple's separation seemed amicable, and they had gone on date nights and vacationed in Disneyland together. He said Boren was an old-fashioned, polite man who showed no signs that he would carry out a shooting.
"I feel so betrayed, angry, hurt, and then talking to Josh's family, his sisters and his brother and, I mean, they're every bit as much or worse," King said. "It's so much hurt and pain you can't understand."
The two were great parents, King said, and Kelly Boren was anxious to work out the issues in the marriage so Joshua Boren would always be part of the children's lives.
"That's where you can't comprehend it as a dad. There's nothing you wouldn't do to protect your kids, and I always thought he felt that way too," King said.

Premier League preview: Arsenal take on Chelsea as Liverpool target top spot
Arsenal's lead comes under threat ahead of their blockbuster Monday Night Football meeting with title rivals Chelsea.
By Rob Parrish - Follow me on Twitter @skysportsrobp
Last Updated: 24/12/13 10:59am
Liverpool have the chance to move to the top of the table, temporarily at least, as they welcome Cardiff to Anfield in Saturday's early kick off.
Should the Reds fail to take maximum points, then the focus will shift to Craven Cottage, where struggling Fulham have the unenviable task of tackling Manchester City, who know that any stay at the pinnacle would only last until Monday.
Chelsea could spend Christmas in first place if Liverpool fail to take maximum points and the Blues then go on to triumph at Emirates Stadium.
All of the last four Premier League winners were Christmas Day leaders, while seven of the last nine went on to finish in first place - the exceptions being Arsenal in 2008 and Liverpool in 2009.
Tottenham, who axed Andre Villas-Boas on Monday, tackle Southampton in the first half of a Super Sunday double-header with caretaker boss Tim Sherwood in need of inspiration after their Capital One Cup exit in midweek, before Roberto Martinez returns to former club Swansea with his high-flying Everton side.
At the other end of the table, Sunderland know they are destined to be in last place even if they take all three points against Norwich at the Stadium of Light, while the team immediately above them, Crystal Palace, play host to Newcastle.
West Ham must halt their league slide with a daunting Upton Park date with champions Manchester United, West Brom begin the post-Steve Clarke era with a home meeting against Hull City, while Stoke City host Aston Villa in a Midlands derby on Saturday.
It may be the final match of the 10 fixtures taking place over the coming days, but there is no disputing the fact that Arsenal's home date with Chelsea is the standout contest. The Gunners must recover from their demoralising 6-3 defeat to Manchester City last weekend to re-establish their title credentials, while Jose Mourinho's Blues have not been in sparkling form of late, with their midweek cup exit to Sunderland coming on the back of an uninspiring home victory over Crystal Palace and a 3-2 reverse at Stoke.
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez is no stranger to the headlines, and his blistering form in front of goal and talk of a bumper new deal make him the man of the moment ahead of the clash with Cardiff at Anfield. With 17 goals to his name this season and eight in his last three games, the Uruguay international is clearly the man to watch this weekend. Cardiff, meanwhile, are embroiled in off-field wrangling once again, with manager Malky Mackay given a very public dressing down by the club's hierarchy over his January transfer plans and reports suggesting he has been asked to resign or face the sack.
For all Manchester City's imperious home form, which was demonstrated to the full with their demolition of Arsenal, their away displays remain patchy as they make the trip to the banks of the Thames to tackle Fulham. Aston Villa have more points on the road than Manuel Pellegrini's men, and the absence of key man Sergio Aguero in the coming weeks will be a significant concern. Five defeats in their last six games has seen the Cottagers slide into the bottom three, with Rene Meulensteen yet to buck the trend which began under former boss Martin Jol.
Tottenham became the fifth Premier League club this season to part company with their man in the dug-out on Monday morning, as Villas-Boas paid the price for a 5-0 home humbling against Liverpool, despite Spurs being only five points adrift of the top four. Sunday's trip to Southampton, who have taken just two points from their last five games to slip from the dizzy heights of third to ninth place, is likely to be stand-in boss Sherwood's last chance to impress after the misery of their midweek Capital One Cup exit.
The second helping of Sky Sports' Super Sunday offering sees Swansea welcome Everton to the Liberty Stadium, with Roberto Martinez returning to the club where he began his managerial career. The foundations for flowing football laid by Martinez have been continued by Paulo Sousa, Brendan Rodgers and now Michael Laudrup, with the promise of a contest which will please the purists this weekend. The Swans have won just twice in front of their own supporters this season, with four draws also recorded in their eight home contests.
Stark reality
For all the Wearside euphoria over reaching the Capital One Cup semi-finals with victory over Chelsea, the stark reality for Sunderland is that they will be bottom of the Premier League at Christmas regardless of the result of their Stadium of Light clash with Norwich on Saturday. A paltry nine points from 16 matches leaves Gus Poyet's men four adrift and a significant upturn will be required to survive. Norwich responded well to drubbings by Man City and Liverpool and currently hold a five-point cushion above the drop zone.
Crystal Palace's two-game winning burst was halted by Chelsea in their last outing, but Tony Pulis will take heart from the way in which the title hopefuls were pushed all the way by the relegation-threatened Eagles. Marouane Chamakh has now scored in each of his last three Premier League games - a career first - and now has Saturday's opponents Newcastle in his sights. The Magpies, who are challenging for European football this term, have enjoyed great success at Selhurst Park recently, winning all four of their last league meetings with Palace in south London.
Manchester United's hopes of retaining the title they won at a canter last term remain in the balance with 10 points separating them from top spot prior to Saturday's trip to Upton Park to take on West Ham. Three victories in succession in all competitions have lifted spirits for the Red Devils, but the Hammers will also go into the game on a high after their dramatic late win over Spurs in the Capital One Cup. Sam Allardyce's side have, however, won just one of nine in the Premier League, with five defeats coming in that spell.
West Brom, who face Hull City at The Hawthorns this weekend, felt that four defeats in a row was evidence of a terminal decline under former boss Clarke and he was shown the door in the wake of the 1-0 defeat at Cardiff. With the Baggies just two points above the bottom three, whoever is brought in to steady the ship must swiftly arrest the downward spiral. Amid an off-field spat over their future identity, Steve Bruce has managed to maintain focus on the important matter of football and has the Tigers within striking distance of a place back in the top 10.
Stoke City go into their derby duel with Aston Villa at the Britannia Stadium just one point behind their Midlands rivals in the standings. Paul Lambert's Villa saw their five-game unbeaten run halted by Fulham before a heavy home defeat at the hands of Manchester United, with Christian Benteke's ongoing goal drought, which currently stands at 11 hours and 59 minutes, of increasing concern. Mark Hughes has made the Potters tough to beat in recent weeks, with just one defeat in seven, but only two victories have been secured in that spell.

Md. court: Bars not liable for patrons' accidents
Court suggests Legislature is better place to change law
Maryland's highest court said bars can't be held responsible for accidents their patrons cause after they leave.
The Court of Appeals ruled Thursday in the case of a 2008 drunken driving crash in Montgomery County that killed a 10-year-old girl.
The girl's grandparents, the Rev. William Warr Jr. and his wife Angela, had sued a Gaithersburg bar that served Michael Eaton 17 beers and several more drinks of hard liquor on the night of the crash.
After leaving the bar, Eaton got into his car and struck the Warrs' vehicle from behind while speeding on Interstate 270. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to prison.
The judges in the 4-3 opinion suggested the General Assembly was the appropriate place to change the law, as opposed to the court.

I'm not good at interviews, and my english is crap. I get nervous, I'm too happy to meet the band, I forget to translate what we said and I can't remeber what I'm going to say to the guests, I laugh too much.
But all this is irrelevant, if the Suburban Kids With Biblical Names are in the studio and they're going to play some song.
So here is the last friday's transmission (full version), and the two live and unplugged songs the Kids played (the second one is unreleased!). Soon I will post the incredible jingle they made only for the camera.
Thanks to Johan and Peter, who came to the radio station just before going on stage for their first concert in Bologna, and thanks to Lucio who drove the car and took the pictures.

DR HOOK- You betcha! Gambling 'addiction' a serious problem
Las Vegas is sin city? It's been four years since I've been to Vegas, and to me it's pretty cleaned up. (Although to some people, that's like saying a brothel going from cash to credit card is cleaned up.)
For example, it was almost impossible to find a raunchy postcard to send to relatives. The sidewalks weren't covered with flyers offering chances to see naked women in strip clubs. (Yawn!) People weren't drinking in public. But one stinking fact remained– the smoking. Each casino and resort should offer gas masks. I think the state bird of Nevada is the Marlboro Man.
Someone told me, "You have to put money in the slot machine to make money."
I won't put more than $20 into a slot a machine and have never come out ahead, but I decided to take her advice on my most recent Vegas visit. So between Cirque du Soleil's Love and Mama Mia, I put in a few cents more into the quarter slots. And guess what? I lost more than $20! (I plead the Fifth on exactly how much.)
Is gambling addictive?
In our society of want, want, need, need, more, more, the word "addicted" is highly overused. Maybe gambling problems are based more on greed, hopes, delusions, and thrill. I must admit, when I was a down on the money and then won all my money back (and a little more), my glands squeezed out a ton of adrenaline. I began to think, "Hey, maybe Lady Luck is with me!" So I played, played, played– and lost, lost, lost. Suddenly the flashing lights and "binga-banga-boom" sounds of the slot machine lost their appeal. I felt like Charlie Brown trick-or-treating: "I got a rock."
Eight-six percent of Americans have gambled, but less than 10 percent develop a gambling problem. Fifty percent of people have played the lottery, and 25 percent at a casino, which is about double compared to 30 years ago. Half a trillion dollars are wagered every year by people hoping to hit it big.
The psychiatrists' Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders defines maladaptive gambling behavior as five or more of the following: 1) Preoccupation with gambling. 2) Committing illegal acts like theft or fraud. (Because most gamblers lose money, debt is not uncommon. So major efforts become directed to getting enough money to make it to the next gambling event.) 3) Needing to borrow money from others. 4) Lying about the gambling. 5) Ruining relationships and/or work due to gambling. (It's no wonder.) 6) Looking for Lady Luck another day to "get even" with losing money. 7) Failing to stop gambling or cut back despite many attempts. Sounds similar to alcoholism. 8) Higher stakes. One needs to gamble with more money for excitement. 9) Seeking a way to escape from reality. 10) Suffering when trying to withdraw from gambling, like being irritable or restless.
Teenagers are most at risk for gambling problems, especially those who get into trouble– that's no surprise. Gambling problems are associated with males more than females, especially those with a history of alcohol and drug abuse, violence in their lives, being arrested, carrying weapons, driving drunk, not wearing seatbelts– sounds like an Oscar-winning movie formula.
Remember when Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson bet half their life earnings on roulette in Indecent Proposal? Well, that isn't too far from the truth of persistent gamblers because those with a history of bankruptcy are more at risk for gambling problems.
Egad, so depressing! But I know people whose lives have been destroyed by gambling– their own or someone else's. So next time I go to Vegas, the only risk I'm going to take will be using my Old Spice deodorant and Crest toothpaste from Proctor and Gamble.

Please don't make me want to collect anything else. Please don't make me want to collect anything else.
Please don't make me want to collect anything else. If I keep writing it, maybe it will work...sigh. Love some copper!
That is such a pretty mold. Do you worry about running out of wall space. I do - can you imagine not having anywhere to put anything new and having to edit the collections. Yikes, not a good thought.ReplyDelete
So pretty! I love those copper molds and actually have a few that were my grandmother's. Must be such history there...
Thanks for linking up at A Simply Klassic Home!
Kim, this one is fabulous! Like you, I prefer the aged patina of copper rather than the shiny polished pieces. Love the rooster of course! ;-) I recently found two more for our kitchen ~ a small heart and a larger rectangular one with a heart motif in the center. Fun to add these when one can find them for a good price. ~ SarahReplyDelete
Love the rooster mold. The age adds such a touch of history. I'm now following you on Linky and hope you return the favor. Thanks, HelenReplyDelete
That was a great find. I'm loving your start-up mold collection.ReplyDelete
I wouldn't be able to resist making a cake in that!ReplyDelete
Morning Kim,
Love the deep shape of this mold and who doesn't love the classic rooster design? Very nice find.

Obviously that piece was speaking to you for some time and it you have found a perfect home for it!..It was meant to be....ReplyDelete
Beautiful mold, Kim. Love the wicker on your counter too!
I love the rooster great find good addition for your collection.ReplyDelete
I love olden molds, too...this one is a honey.ReplyDelete
Good bite, Kim! I have a couple of small copper molds on my pantry wall, but they're new, so they're missing the patina. Wonder what would happen if I actually used them?! Huh?ReplyDelete
Great piece to add to your growing collection!

Traditional Andalusian farmhouses: the charm of the countryside
Highlights of a visit to Andalusia: its world-class monuments, varied landscapes, beaches, typical gastronomy, areas for sport, excellent transport system and traditions and festivities such as flamenco and Easter Week.
Typical farmhouse in Carratraca (Malaga)
Are you looking for a peaceful and comfortable holiday? Choose a farmhouse in Andalusia, in southern Spain. These are typical restored country houses which have been converted into original accommodation. You will discover how they provide a combination of simplicity and a rural feel with the utmost comfort inside. Don't miss the chance to spend a few days in these lodgings, located in Nature Reserves, near the beach or the city. Relax and discover the spirit and culture of Andalusia.
The ideal place for relaxation, peace and quiet, and beautiful scenery. This will be your impression of the traditional farmhouses in Andalusia. These houses provide a taste of the splendour of the large traditional rural estates which later became the residences of the nobility. Just imagine making yourself at home in spacious halls with wood-burning fireplaces, enjoying the harmony of the spacious central courtyard, or sleeping in rooms where every last detail has been lovingly prepared. Many of them also have private gardens where you can stroll among palm trees, amid the scent of orange blossom and jasmine. Traditional Andalusian farmhouses offer you this and much, much more, and provide a genuine guarantee of quality and comfort.
The attraction of these establishments lies not only in their interior, but also in their surroundings. You can find these traditional farmhouses both in the extensive Andalusian countryside and estates and near the Nature Reserves of Doñana and Sierra Nevada or just a few minutes' drive from some of the best beaches in southern Spain. You will take away wonderful memories of the beautiful views over these lands, and the light sparkling on the typical whitewashed farmhouses.
A world of activities with an enchanting rural flavour
If you choose an Andalusian farmhouse for your holidays, you are in for a lot of fun. Why? Because many of them offer leisure activities to make your stay all the more pleasant, and give you the chance to discover the typical Andalusian way of life. For example, would you like to find out more about the world of bullfighting? Some of these farmhouses are equipped to introduce you to life on a ranch raising fighting bulls, and to allow you to take part in amateur bullfights in a bullring.
You can also enjoy outdoor activities in natural surroundings such as hiking, or 4x4 or bike routes. And after a full day, what better than to taste a range of dishes from traditional Andalusian cuisine? The farmhouses offer these in their restaurants, and many of them will organise outdoor meals where you can also taste some of the region's best wines.
Staying in these traditional farmhouses is definitely the ideal way to get to know Andalusia, discover the local architecture, and also to ensure you feel at home thanks to the friendly service they provide. Don't miss these beautiful historic buildings. Enjoy your stay.

Q: Do I have to put fish in my pond? I won't want them to nibble on my toes when I swim.
Scott – Ypsilanti, ND
A: When you're enjoying a refreshing dip in your pond or lake, that tickling sensation of tiny mouths nibbling at your toes can be a bit, well, unsettling. (Cue the Jaws theme … )
If you swim in your pond or lake and don't like the tiny sharks mistaking your feet for food, you don't have to stock it with fish – but they'll probably wind up there anyway. How? Pond visitors, like birds and other animals, will bring tiny fry and fish eggs with them, depositing them in the water where they grow and multiply.
The trouble (and nibbling!) happens when the population of these uninvited guests explodes out of control. Schools of tiny bluegill with no predator fish, like perch, pike, walleye or salmon, to control their numbers are looking for food – and they see your toes as something tasty to eat.
To maintain a healthy, balanced fish population in your pond, it needs some predator fish. Ideally, there should be a 3-to-1 ratio of prey to predator fish. That will keep those nibblers to a minimum, allowing you to enjoy your swim time in peace.
Keep the prey and predator fish population in your pond thriving, make sure they have safe places to spend their time, like in the Porcupine® Fish Attractor Spheres. The spheres, with their PVC-pipe barbs, provide a safe spawning habitat and a refuge for young fish.

"Ririe Family" -- Scott and Jennifer Ririe have their hands full with their four children -- daughter Selia (9) and sons Hallden (7), Blake (3), and Broden(1). Scott and Jennifer have two completely different outlooks on how their children should be parented. By far their most troublesome child is the reckless and defiant Blake. Every time Jennifer looks away, he makes a beeline for the front door and dashes out across the busy street to play with a neighbor friend. In public, Jennifer also has no control over Blake. He refuses to stay with her and runs off constantly; and when she chases after him, she leaves her other children unattended. While Jennifer is fearful for Blake's safety, Scott doesn't have a problem with this situation, often laughing it off. The parents also disagree about their children's eating habits. Both let the kids snack whenever they want, but Jennifer wants that to change. Scott has the opposite view, saying that they should be able to snack as much as they want. Blake loves to graze and by mealtime isn't hungry. He has no problem putting food in his mouth, but refuses to swallow and typically spits it in the garbage. Again, this troubles Jennifer, while Scott thinks it's fine. The result is a child who is out of control and parents who are out of answers, so it's Jo Frost to the rescue, on "Supernanny," WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 3 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network. (Rebroadcast. OAD: 3/21/05)
Supernanny Jo Frost catapulted to fame when the U.K. version of "Supernanny" debuted in 2004, and she's considered by many to be a godsend to U.S. parents and media, counting Oprah Winfrey, Kelly Ripa, Newsweek and reporters nationwide among her fans. In addition, her paperback book, Supernanny: How to Get the Best from Your Children, rose to No. 1 on the New York Times Bestseller List.
On the television program, Jo observes how parents handle their day-to-day obstacles with their children. Once she's assessed the pitfalls, she works with the parents, instilling her tried-and-true methods for transforming unwanted behavior. Then, after demonstrating just how well the new style will work and getting unbelievable results from the children, the parents must fly solo with the Supernanny techniques. For several days they try to implement Jo's suggestions, and she revisits them at the end of the program to help keep them on track for the future. When parents witness Jo's results and -- even better -- achieve them on their own, they are true believers in the Supernanny way. Best of all, children and adults alike can enjoy the lasting benefits of a more harmonious family life.
Nick Powell is the creator and executive producer of both the American and British versions of the show. Craig Armstrong is executive producer of the American version. "Supernanny" is produced by Ricochet, Ltd.
This program carries a TV-PG parental guideline.

Indian-American Wins Miss America
Nina Davuluri became the first Indian-American to win Miss America, taking the crown on Sunday night in Atlantic City, the birthplace of the competition in 1921.
The 24-year-old competed under the platform "celebrating diversity through cultural competency" and her stated talent was "Classical Bollywood Fusion."
She is the second Miss New York in a row to win the Miss America contest, following in the high-heeled footsteps of Mallory Hagan, a 23-year-old from Brooklyn whose platform was "child sexual abuse prevention."
"I'm so happy this organization has embraced diversity… I'm thankful there are children watching at home who can finally relate to a new Miss America," the Associated Press quoted Mr. Davuluri as saying during her victory press conference.
She also vowed to rise above negative comments from Twitter users upset that someone of Indian heritage won the competition, the Associated Press said. "I always viewed myself as first and foremost American," it quoted her as saying.
Over the coming year, the University of Michigan student from Syracuse will travel about 20,000 miles every month to different parts of the U.S. in her role as Miss America 2014, the organizers of the competition said.
Ms. Davuluri was awarded a $50,000 scholarship to pursue her stated ambition of attending medical school and becoming a physician.
Miss California, Crystal Lee, 22, was runner-up in this year's competition, while Miss Oklahoma, Kelsey Griswold, 21, came third. Ms. Lee's platform was "Women in (STEM) Science, Technology, Engineering and Math," and she has ambitions to start her own technology company.
In the upcoming year, the winner Ms. Davuluri will serve as a spokeswoman for STEM when she works with the Department of Education in Washington, D.C., the competition organizers said.

Online Anonymity? Don't Bet On It
Research conducted by the Journal on the practices of more than a thousand websites shows that the border between our public and private lives is blurring still more. Reporter Jennifer Valentino-DeVries discusses the issue with Weekend Review Editor Gary Rosen.

I'm ... we see more of this sharing going on had me ... much attention being needs to you whether people can access this or not so in a practical way what does that mean for me as a consumer sign out there I search around I'm looking for safe car that means that we have in this piece that we have on the cover of weekend Revue ... I'm shopping for particular make of car among line someone's going to dealerships how would this kind of tracking behavior affect that ... I think what you need to keep in mind is that ... you need to provide year of the old theme for email and chats in every circumstance and you should be really careful about what you share online and think about whether ... he'd become tool if that person ... I hate knowing your real world team as well and what you've been sitting on the way ... I'm so a lot and is just ... being cognizant of the fact that this is happening and that's ... because we scare so much now I know that when the things we looked at was piano ... proliferation and ... social networking buttons and widgets on my Nano Ryan as he didn't share this treat this and and ... and and there I and we found sad that three quarters of websites now yes and no I thought those very interesting so as you explain it in the piece ... if you're on a website some sort of commercial website and may have ... functionality for Facebook or Twitter and because of that ... there's a very good chance that some of your personal information about what you're interested in what you're shopping for can be associated with your your ... personal information in your Twitter account ... right so why his company is Sam ... Facebook Google and Twitter ... they are very ... aware of privacy concerns said the definitely take steps to protecting people's information but I think what a lot of people don't realize is that if you are signed into one of the social network's ... even if you don't have an ... open ... man on the actual Keynesian looking at and you go to another site that has this bought an ... eight and register ... a year and killing their team even if you don't click the button that says Amy Chen the way I'd be where I it's just in the background you're happy being invisibly ... a lot of people think while ... you know ... of course if he gets this didn't mean for me sand but only if right click ... that's not the case and ... so I think that's really important for people to now so again we conduct Mark Carney example so I've been looking for as with this guy and in the piece of BMW sport utility vehicle and and I walk in I think I'm at the end of the dealership in and see what they've gotten on assessing them but there's a pretty good chance that they know what about me and my interest inside that ... vehicle were classes in ... one ... narrow and number of things that you if you give them your knee if you've never had any interaction with family you've given them your email address or clicks on an e mail that the Seine or something like that ... it is quite difficult to ... tie Mr. disinformation back to you know um but if you how to stand back and simply ... they might know things about usage is where they are serious shopper or not ...

Julia Fridman Simard, ScD, is an Assistant Professor of Epidemiology & Population Health, and, by courtesy, of Medicine in Immunology and Rheumatology at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Simard earned her Masters and Doctorate of Science in Epidemiology degrees at the Harvard School of Public Health. During that time she trained with investigators at the Section of Clinical Sciences, Division of Rheumatology, Immunology, and Allergy at Brigham and Women?s Hospital and the Cardiovascular Epidemiology Research Unit at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. In 2008, Dr. Simard relocated to Sweden to begin a Postdoctoral Fellowship in Clinical Epidemiology at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm. She became an Assistant Professor in their Clinical Epidemiology Unit in 2011, and was later honored with a Karolinska Institutet Teaching Award. Leveraging the population-based registers of Sweden, Dr. Simard initiated a national register linkage study to examine the utility of registers in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) research and develop an extensive data repository for future epidemiologic investigations.
While maintaining a close collaboration with the Karolinska Institutet, she joined Stanford?s Epidemiology faculty as an Assistant Professor in 2013. Dr. Simard? studies outcomes in systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases, such as malignancy, stroke, infection, and mortality, but has shifted much of her focus to the intersection between reproductive epidemiology and rheumatic disease. In 2014 she was awarded a five-year K career development award from the NIH (NIAMS) to study maternal and fetal outcomes in systemic lupus pregnancy. She is also interested in disentangling social and biological constructs in the reported disparities in SLE with respect to sex, gender, race, and ethnicity, both from the etiologic and outcomes perspectives.

Growth suits Kutless well. It's been a pleasure to watch the guys from Oregon expand musically and spiritually in the last five years or so. I first saw them at Music in the Rockies when the band was living out of their vehicles touring the West.
Jon Micah Sumrall's voice is stronger and much more refined from the raw talent of just a few years ago. This was evident on the last CD, "What Faith Can Do," and carries over to "Believer," which will be released Feb. 28.
* True story, while listening to Kutless' last CD "It is Well," there were numerous times that I stopped what I was doing to see who was playing on my CD player. (Yea, I still like the hard copies.) I didn't recognized the band because of its development.
The lyrics on "Believer" are thought-provoking, moving, and requesting change — something we need in this day and age of senseless school shootings and such. And the music is a lesson in diversity from ballads to the band's hard-rock rhythm to a song that has tinges of Lady Antebellum.
With the first release from "Believer" — "Carry Me to the Cross" — Sumrall carries his notes well while praising the Lord for carrying him through life's ups and downs. The worship ballad starts with a few piano notes and Sumrall singing:
When the path is daunting
and every step is exhausting,
I'm not alone. I'm not alone.
Words that display the band's growth spiritually. Each instrument is added individually to reach a cresando.

The Holsinger Studio Digital Portfolio
Search the Database | Conditions of Use | Reproduction Information
About the Database
Digitization Services (then Special Collections Digital Center and later Rare Materials Digital Services) began construction of the online database in June 1996. The project was funded through the generosity of a number of agencies and individuals.
Images were captured directly from the original glass-plate negatives, using the Digital Center's Kontron Ultra High Resolution Digital Color Camera, model ProgRes 3012. The images were captured in full color at a resolution of 3072 X 2320 pixels (approximately 600 dpi) and saved as TIFFs. All plates were scanned in landscape orientation, regardless of the orientation of the image on the plate. These 18 MB TIFFs were then written to recordable CD; the images on CD were then batch-processed using Debabelizer 1.6.5 to create two sets of presentation JPEG images. In the first batch process, the images were inverted from negative to positive and converted from RGB color to grayscale. File resolution was reduced to 72 dpi. The images were reduced to standard pixel dimensions:
- 8 X 10 images: 750 pixels high (portrait) or 750 pixels wide
- 5 X 7 images: 500 pixels high (portrait) or 500 pixels wide (landscape)
These images were then saved as JPEG images, using maximum quality and minimum data loss settings.
When the first batch process was complete, each image was opened in Adobe Photoshop. Images whose content were in portrait orientation were rotated ninety degrees from landscape orientation. The "Adjust Levels" tool was used to adjust brightness, darkness and contrast on each image. The images were re-saved.
The second Debabelizer batch job reduced the large JPEG images to a standard pixel dimension of 500 pixels high (portrait) or 500 pixels wide (landscape). These new thumbnail images were saved as JPEG images, using maximum quality and minimum data loss settings. Both sets of images are stored on one of the Library's IBM RS-6000 servers.
A note about viewing the images:
Image quality is optimized for viewing on a 17-inch monitor that supports the display of 24-bit color. The quality of the images varies dramatically from monitor to monitor. If, as you are viewing the database, images appear too dark, too light, heavily pixelated or grainy, please try viewing them on a different monitor before you report them as a problem.
Textual Data
The textual data is derived from Mr. Holsinger's original studio ledgers for the years 1908-1927. The information in the ledger is arranged alphabetically by surname, and sub-arranged chronologically by date. A sample page of the ledger is available here. The ledger information generally includes the date of the photograph, surname, first name or initials, size of negative, negative number, and, occasionally, price. Mr. Holsinger sometimes also recorded important descriptive information about the sitter of the photograph--such as the fact that he was a UVa baseball player, or she was the child of person named in the ledger. It is important to understand that the name recorded in the ledger is not necessarily the name of the subject of the photograph. The name recorded in the ledger is often the name of the person who purchased the photograph. Thus, a photograph of man might be entitled "Mrs. John Doe" because Mrs. Doe paid for the photograph.
When the collection came to Special Collections in the late 1970s, the information in the ledgers was transcribed and coded into a Dbase database. In addition to transcribing name, date and negative number and size, staff in Special Collections identified several topical categories of photographs:
- African-American images
- World War I images
- University of Virginia images
- Charlottesville images
Over succeeding years, the data was migrated to newer versions of Dbase, and, ultimately, into Microsoft Access. To create the online database, the Access files were transferred to FilemakerPro. Several additional fields were added and data manipulation was limited to expanding abbreviations to their full form and putting names in direct order. As a result, the construction of some of the data elements may appear slightly odd, and some may be incorrect. We plan to expand and edit data as time permits. We also plan to export the textual data into an SGML-tagged structure, mount it on one of the Library's IBM RS-6000 servers, and index the data with OpenText software.
At present, the database is served from a Macintosh to deliver the textual data from FilemakerPro.
The textual records include the following information in separate Filemaker fields:
- Name--a brief descriptive title of the scene, or the name of the subject of a studio portrait, as taken from Holsinger's studio ledge. Unidentified portraits are indicated in this field.
- Date--the date the photograph was taken, according to the studio ledgers; if no date is available from Holsinger's records, an approximate date is sometimes given.
- Negative number--the number assigned by Holsinger to individual plates, or series of plates.
- Comments--a free-text field in which special features of the content of the image are described. This field will be expanded in the future with controlled vocabulary and other information to enhance searching
- Size--the dimensions of the glass-plate negative. Either 5x7 or 8x10

Press release issued by Olympus UK:
The new ultra-rugged Tough! TG-5 camera from Olympus set to beat all others in all conditions
London, May 17th, 2017 – When you are looking for the ultimate tough, go-anywhere camera to capture the highlights of your latest adventure, the best in class just got better. With the TG-5, Olympus announces their latest flagship Tough! camera, and it comes with some serious enhancements. The class leading super bright 25-100mm* 1:2.0 lens is married to an all new sensor and the latest TruePic VIII image processor that deliver significant improvements in speed and still image quality in all conditions, while video now boasts 4K and 120FPS Full HD high-speed movies for better slow motion quality. Added to this are new easy to access controls and dual pane anti-fog glass. As Tough!'s tend to be used when the elements are at their harshest, this matters, so for all those who want to share spectacular evidence of their exploits this summer: Look no further than the new Tough! TG-5 available in red or black from mid June at £399.99.
The adventurer's choice:
Annelie Pompe** is a professional adventurer from Sweden who has used the TG series for many years:
"I go climbing, freediving, running, skiing, surfing, kayaking and mountain biking so I need a camera that can go anywhere, stand the pace and create great pictures. The TG-5 takes all this in its stride and I love the new control dial and anti-fog dual pane glass – when you are in and out of freezing water these will make a great camera even better to use."
There are plenty of "action" cameras but none that quite deliver the still image quality and convenience of the TG-5. In the middle of a tackle-anything adventure, your camera needs to be light and small enough not to get in your way, yet be able to take punishment so you don't worry. Throw a TG-5 in a canoe with water sloshing – no problem. Stand on it in hiking boots – a walk in the park. Drop one from head height onto a boulder – all in a day's shoot. Regularly awarded best in class since the introduction of the TG-1 in 2012, the flagship Olympus Tough! series has become the go-to rugged camera for die hard adventurists the world over. A classic blend of carry-anywhere size and hard as nails durability that Olympus pioneered, the TG-5 now heralds levels in image quality and video performance to add to a reputation for robust construction.
Better image quality, more tracking and sharing capabilities
Eiji Shirota is head of the Olympus team that developed the TG-5 in Tokyo and explains the camera manufacturer's priorities as follows:
"Our priority with the TG-5 was to improve overall image quality in a wider range of conditions and to enhance the adventure capturing capabilities of the camera. Customer feedback told us that Tough! cameras are used in situations that are challenging both physically and photographically. The new sensor has a lower pixel count than the previous model, yet when combined with the latest image processor from our pro flagship OM-D E-M1 Mark II, gives better image quality than before with enhanced dynamic range and improved response time.
As a bonus, we have even included a version of the Pro Capture feature also taken from our professional OM-D line that helps catch the exact moment in action sequences. Finally, we added a temperature sensor to the existing GPS, manometer and compass so that users can share even more information with their images to really tell a story of their adventures."
Five features for outdoor fans
The TG-5 has five main strengths. Its ultra-bright lens, its Variable Macro system, its range of accessories and its field sensor system combined with built-in WiFi for tracking and transferring data to smartphones. That's four. Number five is the now legendary toughness. The TG-5 is shockproof to a height of 2.1 metres***, crushproof to a weight of 100kg***, freezeproof down to -10°C***, dustproof, and waterproof to a depth of 15m without a special underwater housing***. With the PT-058 underwater casing (sold separately), images and movies can even be captured in depths of up to 45 metres.
The super-bright 25-100mm* lens has a 1:2.0 maximum aperture at wide zoom settings, which means the TG-5 can capture colourful, low-noise shots in light-starved environments where fast shutter speeds and low ISO settings are a must: For example 15m underwater, with no need for a housing or extra light. Divers will not only profit from the built-in manometer but also from Underwater HDR to enhance areas of light and shadow, AF Area to shift the focus within the frame and the glove-friendly customizable mode dial together with a new control wheel.
For spectacular nature shots, the TG-5 has an advanced, four-mode Variable Macro system, with Microscope, Microscope Control, Focus Bracketing and Focus Stacking Mode. The latter works without software, which is unique in this camera category. To maximise realism and colours and minimise noise, the TG-5 also supports RAW files.

Even with more women settling into the role of family breadwinner, the gender pay gap only rarely settles in their favor.
Today, 23 percent of women earn more than their husbands, up from 4 percent who did in 1960, according to a Pew Research Center study released this week. But that's not necessarily an indication that women are earning more. Comparing full-time, year-round workers, women earn 77 cents for every dollar men earn, said Dana Britton, director of the Center for Women and Work at Rutgers University in Newark, N.J. In 1960, the gap was about 61 cents to the dollar.
"Traditionally, in couples where women out-earn men, it's been temporary," she said.
Still, critics say the gap may not be quite so wide. Broadly, there tend to be more men in high-paying fields like technology, and more women in lower-paid ones such as education, creating much of the imbalance, said management consultant Steve Tobak, managing partner for Invisor Consulting in California.
Plus, government data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census Bureau tend to compare the wages of all women with a given job title against all men with a given job title, regardless of differences in geographic location, education or years of experience.
With a more apples-to-apples comparison controlling for such factors, "the gap all but disappears," said Katie Bardaro, lead economist for salary data site PayScale.com.
For example, the typical female firefighter makes 1.6 percent less than her male counterpart, rather than the steeper 19 percent difference comparing median pay. Smaller pay gaps may be more explainable as men being more willing to negotiate, or women losing out on pay advances when leaving the workforce to have children, Tobak said.
While it's smart for women to consider which fields pay well in general when choosing a career, they shouldn't rush to switch based on a perceived gender disparity in earnings, Britton said. Winning jobs shift quickly. For example, based on BLS data from 2009, female bakers earned 4 percent more than male bakers. In 2012, the men outearned the women by more than 11 percent.
But if you do want to follow the money, these 12 jobs are among those where women are the top earners.

The bassoon's double reed gives it a rich, slightly buzzing quality in the lowest notes and a sweet nasal sound higher up. Bassoons can be extremely expressive as solo instruments and their warm vibrato enables them to sound remarkably human, a little like a resonant baritone singer. They are also great for creating punchy rhythmic lines and as bass instruments they help provide support for the whole orchestra.
Because of their versatility, bassoons have been used in orchestras for a very long time. There are a variety of larger and smaller bassoons, but these days the most commonly used additional member of the bassoon family is the contrabassoon which sounds an octave lower than the bassoon.

After a long wait, Google Voice has finally arrived for the iPhone through the official App Store. Now, at long last, you can use your Google Voice number and get all the features of the service without Apple getting in the way.
Apple famously blocked the app from the store months ago, which became a subject of an FCC investigation, but apparently they worked their differences out. You can now get cheaper rates for international calls, free texts to US numbers, voicemail transcription and the ability to show your Google Voice number on other people's caller IDs.
Best of all, the app is free. So, are you going to hop on the Google Voice bandwagon now?
