The digestive process begins in the mouth, where chewing and saliva breakdown food. Digestion continues in the stomach, where food is turned into a liquid called chyme. Chyme next passes into the small intestine. Here, enzymes from the pancreas and liver further digest food. It is also in the small intestine where all nutrients and vitamins are absorbed. Small fingerlike projections lining the small intestine, called villi, enable digested food to enter the bloodstream.
The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the most frequently performed weight loss procedure.
During the first part of RYGB, a small pouch is created in the stomach with staples. This step restricts the amount of food the patient can consume to approximately one ounce. The remaining, larger part of the stomach is then separated from the pouch but is not removed.
The second step of this procedure involves dividing the small intestine just below the duodenum, the first section of the small intestine.
Next, the second section of the small intestine, the jejunum, is brought up and is connected to the newly created pouch. The duodenum is then reconnected to the new intestinal limb giving the intestine the Y shape for which the procedure is named. By bypassing the duodenum, absorption of nutrients and calories is prevented, resulting in significant weight loss.
Complications specific to the RYGB include dumping syndrome, hernias, and nutritional deficiencies.

This strip accompanied an article of the same name about Chicago-area female stand-up comedians in the fourth issue of PISTIL ("The Game," Fall 2004).
The strip stems from something comedian Jean Villepique says within the article: "I think being a white male is the hardest thing in comedy now. If you're gay or black or a woman, you can get away with a hell of a lot more. If you're a white guy right now, you can't make fun of anything."

Prior to September 13, 2006, the correct answer was nine. Nowadays we have either eight or eleven, depending on how literally you parse the word "planet".
Yes, Eris had managed to toss another golden apple into our solar system back in 2005 with this little bowling display, and the astronomers and scientists and people-who-make-names-official promptly fell all over themselves arguing about her. Three Letter Acronyms, such as TNO, were bandied about. Eventually, after much brouhaha, she was classified on 9/13/06 as a dwarf planet, along with Pluto and Ceres.
To reiterate: Eris got Pluto demoted from planet status, and a glorified asteroid promoted to "dwarf planet".
That, my friends, is what we call a display of pure, unadulterated, Erisian power.
So back to the picture again:
- Golden Apple
- Roughly spherical... one might say almost planetoid in appearance
- "No power in the 'Verse [universe] can stop us."

There have been a few reports of problems uploading to the scanner with versions 00.41 and 00.42. The main symptom was that after uploading, the scanner would briefly show "Data Error" and would reinitialize to its blank factory state. I was able to reproduce the problem, but only intermittently. I have not seen the problem at all in version 00.43. This is somewhat confusing, as there were no changes that should have "fixed" it. Likewise, there was nothing in 00.41 or 00.42 that should have caused the problem in the first place.
Win92 is a Windows "GUI" application for the Radio Shack Pro-92 trunking scanner. It allows you to read data from the scanner, make changes via the GUI, and write the modified data back. It will read / write the scanner in less than 90 seconds. You can also maintain a "library" of data files to be downloaded or shared. Win92 uses the 'standard' SPG data format for its files.
Version 00.46 25 July 2004, 12:52 PDT
Read errors: Some users that have experienced the "timed out waiting for 01 98 ..." error have been able to resolve it by downloading the DLLs.ZIP file. There is a download link for that file in the paragraph below the main program's download link.
Windows 2000 Many people have reported problems transferring data to and from the scanner on Windows 2000 machines. Win92 was developed on a Windows 98 machine and has been tested on Windows 95 and Windows NT. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a Windows 2000 PC at the moment, so I cannot debug this problem. As soon as I can get my hands on such a PC, I'll look into it. Update 02 Dec 2001: This should be working now in version 0.30.
Click here for a sample screenshot (200 kB)
Ken Plotkin (author of 92ware) and I have noticed a problem in both of our programs where after several downloads, we'll start dropping data from the scanner. We're still looking into it. At the moment, the workaround is to turn off both the scanner and the PC, disconnect the cable from them, and then power-up and reconnect.
Win92 is released as freeware. You may download it for personal use only. It may not be sold or used in any commercial enterprise. All rights to the software are retained by the author. No guarantee is made as to its usefulness or fitness for any purpose. The author will not be responsible for any damage to any equipment or data resulting from the program's use.
Download latest version (this is a ZIP file - you'll need WinZip, PowerArchiver, or an equivalent decompression utility in order to extract files)
The link above is the program only - it doesn't include a couple of system files that are required to run it. If you're using a recent version of any Microsoft product, then you should already have these files. If Win92 complains that it can't find a file or component necessary to run (or something like that), you can get the required files here. This file is a WinZip archive containing the required components. Merely put it in the same directory/folder where you put the Win92.exe program, and "unzip" it (as with the Win92.zip file, you'll need WinZip or an equivalent utility to do this). The archive contains three new files: MFC42.DLL, MSVCRT.DLL, and MSVCP60.DLL. You can then delete the DLLs.zip file.
This page is going to be relatively "terse", only including a description of changes from release to release, as well as a list of any known or reported problems with the application. If you use the program and find a problem or have a question, check back here to see if it's already been reported (and maybe fixed).
More info will be added under this "General information" heading as users ask questions or have comments.
Play with these a little bit to see how they work.

Version 0.25 28 August 2001, 21:55 PDT. Version 0.24 28 August 2001, 19:00 PDT.
Version 0.23 28 August 2001, 10:30 PDT. Added the ability to save a "partial file", that only contains the data you specify. You can select from: channel banks (any or all of them), search banks (any or all), weather, PSRs, and main settings. When loading such a file that contains channel or search banks, you may specify where you want to load the data. This feature should make it easier to move data around between files. For example, you could save channel banks 3 and 5 from one SPG file, then load them into another SPG file, but into banks 9 and 6. Also added the ability to select multiple items in the PSR page (for moving and deleting). Column widths are now saved in the INI file, so if you change them, they will be restored the next time you run the program.
Version 0.22 24 August 2001, 18:15 PDT. The program now auto-sizes, and can have scroll bars. This is mainly for users on whose displays Win92 didn't fit. Also fixed a bug in the copy/paste/move code where unsaved edits would be undone. Fixed a bug in the move up/down code that kept the last entry in a list from moving.
Version 0.21 24 August 2001, 22:45 PDT. It looks like the RTS high introduced in version 0.20 has hurt some users by making their scanner downloads fail. This new version defaults to RTS LOW and allows you to set it HIGH with a check box under the COM port selection. If you have problems downloading, click on this check box to toggle the state of RTS and try again.
Version 0.20 23 August 2001, 22:45 PDT. Changed RTS pin to HIGH, trying to address some upload and download problems (from user reports, it looks like it worked, especially for the problems some users were having with uploads to the scanner). Added ability to search Banks by Alpha Tag and Frequency. Added editing functions to the Bank page (these work on both Channels and Talk Group IDs)
Version 0.19 Made list columns resizable. COM port, last directory, and last SPG file are now saved on program exit and loaded on program start. The last active SPG file is also loaded on program start. Renamed some main control buttons to avoid some confusion. Fix for a communications problem under Windows NT (lock up when uploading to scanner). Thanks to David S. for some of the feature feedback.
Version 0.18 Fixed a problem with Type-I talk group IDs, where Win92 was setting the 'UserID' bits to zero instead of one. This was keeping the scanner from correctly tracking Type-I systems. Thanks to Eric F. for the bug feedback.
Version 0.17 Added Channel/Row Numbers to all of the lists (except Search Lockouts). Cleaned up the display when you switch banks, load SPGs, and read from the scanner - it's faster and prettier (no longer shows the "filling" of the lists). Now checks the priority channel, to make sure its receive mode isn't LTR, MOT, or EDACS.
Version 0.16 Allowed click & drag changing of 'check box' items in the lists (e.g. Unused, Atten, LOut, Delay). Just click on one and move up or down in the column. All that you hit will be toggled.
Version 0.15 Added Fleet Map presets (e.g. E1P1, E1P2, etc.).
Version 0.14 Allowed keypad beep to be 300 - 10000 Hz. In Search page, allowed any non-zero step size that is a multiple of the Start frequency's step size (i.e. 5 or 12.5 kHz). Added AFS display to Talk Group IDs for EDACS banks. (Selecting AFS for a 'Conv' or 'MOT' bank will just show decimal).
Version 0.13 Allowed backlight time to be zero
Version 0.12 Fixed a bug in the PSR page that affected inserting, deleting, and moving entries
Version 0.11 Fixed a couple of bugs in the PSR page in interpreting start frequencies
Version 0.10 Initial Release
Thanks to Ken Plotkin and Bill Petrowsky for information on the Pro-92's data layout, especially Type-I fleet maps and size codes!

OPI Katy Perry Collection Preview
OPI also revealed info on their Katy Perry collaboration today. Can I just say that I'm so happy to see OPI finally embracing social media and not pretending a collection doesn't exist until the day it launches in stores? In this collection, the colors range from a confectionery pink to a bold blue that seemed to be pulled straight from Katy's California Gurls video.
From left to right: Last Friday Night, Not Like the Movies, The One That Got Away, Teenage Dream and Black Shatter.
It's obvious that the glitter party is nowhere near over in nail world. After all the Deborah Lippmann and China Glaze Holiday glitters plus the OPI Alice & Burlesque sparklers the train to Glitter Town won't be reaching the end of the line anytime soon.
What are your thoughts on these? Are they what you would expect from a collection involving Katy Perry? Do you think that OPI including "Shatter" polishes in two collections means that we're going to get inundated with crackle from the other major polish brands? Will you give into the cracked polish effect?
UPDATE: Thanks to the readers who pointed out that OPI posted a video on YouTube showing the colors and shatter effect

St Trinian's, the infamous school for 'young ladies' is once again facing dire financial crisis! The bank are threatening headmistress Camilla Fritton with closure. Her unorthodox doctrine of free expression and self empowerment is also under threat from new Education Minister Geoffrey Thwaits, an old flame of Camilla's who is determined to bring discipline and order to the anarchic school. In true St Trinian style the girls are in a league of their own; smart, fearless and determined to defend the school they love to the end. They need to unite the warring girl gang cliques and come up with the cash fast to save the school. (Source)

People can expect a wide range of work to stimulate the senses. Drawings and collages mounted to wood coated in resin, lino cuts spray painted in gold coated in resin, wooden figures and sculptures.
There will be over lapping themes and deviations into specific territories of the megarealms. The next show will continue to explore the equilibrium between order and chaos, two ideas present in the upcoming exhibition.
A place I have created from the conscious and subconscious mind, a Megarealm is where I explore the areas of my brain, ideas, of thought itself, as they pertain to an image. There, I am liberated from everything: I can experiment with shape, color, and form in an infinite, ever changing, made-up reality that takes many shapes and forms at my will.
A Megarealm is a harmony and balance between objects. A playground.
You can find a Megarealm in your own head, in your own space. If you're really happy with the way you position your table next to your couch, then you've just created the beginnings of a Megarealm.
My love for illustration has grown immensely in the past year. I'm especially interested in editorial work that challenges me to think more conceptually and very quickly. It has been wonderful and I look forward to getting more involved in the field.
Yes, fulltime
Take it seriously. Challenge yourself with conceptual work. Be nice. Take the passion from your gut and put it into your portfolio.
No Art school
It depends if I'm working on a drawing, collage or painting. Sometimes Ill have a complete idea in my head how I want a piece to look and I can accomplish my vision. Other times I cannot so I will throw the failed drawing into a box, the box of failed drawings. I turn to this box for collages and sometimes use the scraps for paintings and other mixed media works.
I don't really have a favorite film but I do have a few I can recommend. The Color of Paradise by Majid Majidi and Santa Sangre by Alejandro Jodorowsky
I did a few around the block and a few people have asked me to do things in their homes which has been fun. If anyone wants me to paint a space or go paint send me an email. I do plan on doing more.
I grew up in east San Diego. I found a place online and drove up in my Toyota Camry with everything I owned.

My parents have always been creative types. They used to run Photo Blow-Up, a print enlargement lab in San Diego. In an economic downturn, my mother traded her photo enlargers for a teaching credential. She taught in one of the last art teacher positions left in public schools; as art-funding progressively diminished, she took on more subjectssocial studies, English, ESL, history, natural sciencesshe eventually stopped teaching art altogether. Now retired, she volunteers teaching art to the elderly and to elementary school students. My father ventured more deeply into art and music. For a time he played in Buddy Riches Big Band. Still making music, my father is focusing more on art these days. He'll have a show in the next couple years.
In my room, reading about the facts of life.
The old circus family is a family I heard about who traveled around the United States in a horse-drawn carriage. They were performance artists. Their parents were in the circus and their parent's parents were in the circus; they passed down performances and tricks to each new generation. I don't know if I'll ever meet them or if I'll learn anything more about them.

Back in the early 1850s, Silas McRae was a no-good thief and a charlatan. He had to be: despite having the surname name "McRae" he and his family, like other Lumbee residents of Robeson County, North Carolina, were looked down on and scorned by most North Carolinians. Now it's 1871, and as an older man with a family, Silas regrets his thieving ways. But his greatest regret is the loss of a beautiful golden lamp, stolen from a rich Fayetteville home one fateful night in 1852. Silas has told the tale repeatedly to his two boys, Hooper and Duncan: how beautiful the lamp was, and how Silas was sure that its strange shape held a genie that would answer all of his problems. When Hooper and Duncan hear from a cousin that the lamp might have found its way to the family of a wealthy local planter, how can they resist stopping by to acquire it?
It seems like a simple job of thievery, but the boys don't count on the feisty Dawsey Wilkes, the (supposedly) gently raised daughter of Colonel Gerrard Wilkes. Dawsey apprehends the criminals in the act of stealing her father's precious lamp, but the situation goes terribly awry for all parties involved, and somehow the McRaes end up kidnapping Dawsey. But the trouble is just beginning. When the McRaes arrive home in Scuffletown with Dawsey, they discover that she is the spitting image of their little sister Ellie, who is exactly the same age. Are the two girls twins? And could the beautiful, haughty Dawsey ever fall for the likes of Hooper McRae? What unfolds is a tale of danger, unexpected family, and romance. This first novel in Gruver's Backwoods Brides series charts a stormy course through the racially charged history of Reconstruction era Robeson County.

10-Jun-2008 -- While everybody watched the European Soccer Championship on TV, I hunted the last Bavarian confluence. Highways and streets were empty, the weather perfect. Leaving the A3 near Deggendorf it took me some 20 minutes to park the car about 100 m away from the confluence.
As the forest (again a confluence in the woods...) was very dark, I had to dance a while to get the Zeros. What a nice quiet place in summer. I searched for a nearby geocache and left the place after taking my photos being happy to have done all Bavarian confluences.

FYI. This has been commented on in a couple of Semantic Web lists today: (01) http://www.w3.org/2003/01/wscwg-charter -- _____________________________________________ Dr. Leo Obrst The MITRE Corporation mailto:lobrst@xxxxxxxxx Intelligent Information Management/Exploitation Voice: 703-883-6770 7515 Colshire Drive, M/S W640 Fax: 703-883-1379 McLean, VA 22102-7508, USA (02) Web Services Choreography Working Group Charter
1 Goals and Scope of the Web Services Choreography Working GroupExisting specifications for Web services describe the indivisible units of interactions. It has become clear that taking the next step in the development of Web services will require the ability to compose and describe the relationships between lower-level services. Although differing terminology is used in the industry, such as orchestration, collaboration, coordination, conversations, etc., the terms all share a common characteristic of describing linkages and usage patterns between Web services. For the purpose of this document, and without prejudice, we use the term choreography as a label to denote this space. Many presentations at the W3C Workshop on Web services of 11-12 April 2001 pointed to the need for a common interface and composition language to help address choreography. The Web Services Architecture Requirements Working Draft created by the Web Services Architecture Working Group also lists the idea of Web service choreography capabilities as a Critical Success Factor, in support of several different top-level goals for the nascent Web services architecture. Two technical Submissions, WSCL, and WSCI, have recently been published by the W3C as Technical Notes. There are other industry efforts in the area of choreography languages, such as BPML (defined by BPMI.org), BPSS (defined by ebXML), IBM's WSFL, Microsoft's XLANG, and IBM/Microsoft/BEA's BPEL4WS and their companion specifications WS-Coordination and WS-Transaction, etc. These developments make clear that there is a great deal of interest within the industry in addressing this problem area. Some observers predict that if no steps are taken to develop a choreography specification in a vendor-neutral forum, the Web services marketplace may be divided into a number of non-interoperable sub-networks. A vendor-neutral choreography specification which commands consensus and wide support, on the other hand, can make it much easier and cheaper to create composite Web services which integrate services from multiple vendors. Small and medium-sized enterprises will be able to create more complex and more useful Web services. This in turn will help the market grow much more vigorously than would be possible without a vendor-neutral specification for choreography. The problems posed by the lack of a widely adopted choreography specification, the current proliferation of overlapping work, and the time required to complete this effort merit the chartering a new W3C Working Group now. This Working Group should address the choreography space encompassed by the referenced documents. This Working Group should also coordinate with other Working Groups within the Web Service Activity, with the aim of developing an interoperable and open standard for Web service choreography. WSDL has proved very useful for describing a single service. Currently complex natural language descriptions outlining the obligations of the participants and detailing how to use a service (sequencing, state management, etc.) have to accompany a WSDL description. The next step is to partially replace these somewhat imprecise instructions with precise language. This will simplify the daunting task companies now face when trying to use Web services to integrate their business processes. In a B2B context such a specification could reduce the cost of integrating with new trading partners and responding to changes in existing interfaces. In addition, creating a standard language to describe the relationships between document exchanges will be helpful to other standards bodies, such as RosettaNet or CIDX, giving them a standard infrastructure for message choreography and enabling them to focus on the core competencies relevant to their domain. The Web Services Choreography Working Group, part of the Web Services Activity, is chartered to create the definition of a choreography, language(s) for describing a choreography, as well as the rules for composition of, and interaction among, such choreographed Web services. The language(s) should build upon the foundation of the Web Service Description Language 1.2 (WSDL 1.2). 1.1 InputsThe Working Group shall start by considering the various input documents listed below and refine the scope and factorization of the choreography space. The Working Group is also expected to be aware of other work that has been published in this area, although it is not a formal input. The Working Group shall consider, at a minimum, as input: The Working Group will also consider additional input it sees fit. 1.2 DeliverablesThe Working Group shall produce the following deliverables:
1.3 Choreography Language SpecificationThe choreography specification(s) shall define (at a minimum) the behavior and language constructs for the following key concepts:
There are two aspects to Web services choreography:
The Working Group will concentrate on addressing the external description, taking into account the separation between those two aspects and their relationship, and defining the necessary process execution hooks for enabling the external interface description. 1.4 Mapping to the Semantic WebThe Choreography Working Group is strongly encouraged to provide a semantic mapping using the RDF and OWL technologies. Such a mapping will allow the information described by the choreography language to be easily combined with that of other applications. Also, as the Semantic Web languages allow the application of formal techniques to the analysis of the meaning of vocabularies, such a mapping would facilitate the understanding of the choreography language itself. The Working Group will consider the impact of each of its design choices on the ability to produce this mapping. The goal of the Semantic Web is to enhance the utility of the Web as a machine-processable information space. The Semantic Web builds on the current Web infrastructure (XML, URI's, HTTP) and provides a standardized representation for data (XML/RDF) and for the conceptual structures behind that data (RDF Schema, Web Ontology Language). Web services are aiming at enabling automated distributed computing on the World Wide Web. It is important for both Web Services and for the Semantic Web that the semantics of the choreography language be clear and precise. 2 Out of Scope2.1 QualitiesIt is obvious that transactions, security, reliability, availability, and other such qualities are intimately related with Web service choreography, some more than others. It is not the goal of this group to define these mechanisms, but it must clearly articulate the boundaries. 2.2 Mappings to Programming LanguagesWeb services are composed of interfaces to applications, which can be written in different programming languages. The purpose of the Working Group is to provide a framework that supports a wide variety of applications and programming languages and is not geared towards any programming language. Given the wide variety of programming languages, the Working Group should not define mappings to any programming languages. 2.3 Graphical notationOne aspect of modeling choreographies will be to represent them graphically. It is out of the scope of the Working Group to define such a graphical notation. 3 ScheduleThese are subject to revision due to editorial needs and external scheduling issues; updates will be negotiated with the related groups and recorded on the Web Services Choreography Working Group home page. Meeting dates are mentioned here for planning purposes.
The target duration of the Working Group is 2 years, through December 2004. Experience suggests that 6 months of contingency should be allowed to accommodate unexpected obstacles to progress. 4 Relationship with Other Work4.1 W3C Groups and ActivitiesXML and XML derived activities have become a strategic technology in W3C and elsewhere. Each deliverable of any Working Group must satisfy the dependencies from other W3C Working Groups before it can advance to Candidate Recommendation.
4.2 External GroupsThe Web Services Choreography Working Group should liaise with at least the following groups outside W3C (see also W3C liaisons with other organizations):
5 Participation, Meetings, and Logistics5.1 ParticipationTo join the Web Services Choreography Working Group, please follow the instructions of section 4.2.3 of the Process Document, sending email to the Working Group Chair and the W3C Team contact. The nomination must include explicit agreement to this charter, including its goals, an IPR disclosure and the level of effort required of the representative. Each Member organization may have at most two participants in the Working Group. Only Working Group participants may engage in formal votes on substantive issues. When a formal vote is required, each Member organization or group of related Members is allowed one vote, even though the Member may have several participants in the Working Group. The W3C Team is expected to have at most two participants in the Working Group (including the Team contact). When a formal vote is required, the Team is allowed one vote. Membership is also open to invited experts from the community, selected by the Chair in order to balance the technical experience of the group. Each participant should expect to spend one day per week on work for this Working Group. 5.2 Email CommunicationThe Working Group will utilize a public mailing list <public-ws-chor@xxxxxx> for its technical email communications. It is referred to in the rest of this document as the Working Group mailing list. A Member-only mailing list <member-ws-chor@xxxxxx> is available for administrative purposes only. 5.3 Group Home PageThe Working Group has a home page that records the history of the group, provides access to the archives, meeting minutes, updated schedule of deliverables, membership list, and relevant documents and resources. The page is available to the public and should be maintained by the Chair in collaboration with the W3C Team contact. 5.4 MeetingsThe Working Group will have distributed and face-to-face meetings. A one- to two-hour Working Group distributed meeting will be held every week. When necessary to meet agreed-upon deadlines, distributed meetings may be held twice a week. The Working Group may schedule face-to-face meetings in a manner that maximizes co-location with events that Working Group members would be attending anyway. Participation in meetings (distributed or face-to-face) is limited to participants in good standing and individuals invited at the discretion of the Chair to specific meetings. Decisions taken in meetings must be announced on the Working Group mailing list. Observers may take part in decision-making at the discretion of the Chair. Meeting records must include attendance, the results of group decisions, and action items. They must be made publicly available except for non-technical issues that do not directly affect the output of the Working Group. The Chair will decide which issues are not made public. 5.5 ResourcesTo be successful, we expect the Working Group to have approximately 20 to 30 active participants. A large public review group that will participate in the mailing list discussions is expected. The Chairs for the Web Services Choreography Working Group are Martin Chapman (Oracle Corporation) and Steve Ross-Talbot (Enigmatec Corporation). 5.6 W3C Team InvolvementThe W3C Team Contact for this Working Group is Yves Lafon. The W3C Alternate Team Contact is Hugo Haas. It is expected that the total Team resources devoted to this Working Group will be about six tenths of a full-time engineer. 5.7 Intellectual PropertyW3C promotes an open working environment. Whenever possible, technical decisions should be made unencumbered by intellectual property right (IPR) claims. This is a Royalty Free Working Group, as described in W3C's Current Patent Practice, dated 24 January 2002. Working Group participants disclose patent claims by sending email to <patent-issues@xxxxxx>; please see Current Patent Practice for more information about disclosures.

BILL KURTIS: From NPR and WBEZ-Chicago, this is WAIT, WAIT...DON'T TELL ME!, the NPR news quiz. I'm legendary anchorman Bill Kurtis, filling in for Carl Kasell. We're playing this week with Tom Bodett, Kyrie O'Connor and Bobcat Goldthwait. And here again is your host, at the Chase Bank Auditorium in downtown Chicago, Peter Sagal.
PETER SAGAL HOST: Thank you, Bill.
HOST: In just a minute, Bill violates Starfleet's Rhyme Directive in our listener limerick challenge. If you'd like to play, give us a call at 1-888-Wait-Wait. That's 1-888-924-8924. Right now, panel, some more questions for you from the week's news. Kyrie, as you know, the people of Gaza are blocked off from the outside world. The New York Times this week exposed an operation which uses a system of courier, secret tunnels and clandestine meetings to smuggle in what to Gaza?
KYRIE O'CONNOR: Oh, I think I know this one. I think it's Kentucky Fried Chicken.
HOST: It is. It's KFC.
HOST: Finger-smuggling good. All right. You got the people - like almost 2 million people living in Gaza. You got the nearest KFC outlet, it happens to be in Egypt, between them a guarded and closed border. But that's nothing to fried chicken fans. An entrepreneur known as the Chicken Man collects KFC orders. Once he has enough he crawls over the border and smuggles in the bags through tunnels operated by the terror group Hamas. And, yes, the chicken couriers have to grease some palms on the way.
BOBCAT GOLDTHWAIT: But when he gets there is there a guy that goes, you know I ordered white meat.
HOST: Yeah.
HOST: No, people love it. And keep in mind, it takes four hours to get there from when they order it. So it tastes terrible so people know it's authentic.
GOLDTHWAIT: If that's not a commercial for KFC, you know.
HOST: Yeah, what people are willing to go through.
GOLDTHWAIT: It's like, yeah, it's the new Klondike Bar, you know. What would you do for Kentucky Fried Chicken?
GOLDTHWAIT: But, you know, it's always had a military vibe, you know. It had the Colonel.
HOST: Yeah, that's true. Bobcat, you probably know that in the average purse - the average female purse there's a lipstick, wallet, keys. Well, we learned this week there's also what?
GOLDTHWAIT: Mase.
HOST: No.
TOM BODETT: You learned that this week.
GOLDTHWAIT: Yeah, I learned that this week.
HOST: Yeah.
GOLDTHWAIT: I - you're not far off, Tom. I was insulted. I was walking behind this woman and I saw her take her keys out and put it between her fingers.
GOLDTHWAIT: She was getting ready to gouge me. Do I look that scary? She says, quick, there's an old fat cabby behind me.
GOLDTHWAIT: OK. So what else is in a woman's purse? We got lipstick, we got keys, we got a human head?
GOLDTHWAIT: Oh, man, why do you give these to me, seriously?
HOST: Because I...
GOLDTHWAIT: I've got five things, none of them I can say on your show.
HOST: Anybody else have a cleaner answer?
O'CONNOR: E. coli?
HOST: Yeah, basically germs.
HOST: It turns out that your average woman's purse is dirtier than a toilet.
HOST: Purses carry five times more bacteria...
GOLDTHWAIT: Well, you just got to ask them to not do that.
HOST: Yeah.
GOLDTHWAIT: I'm sorry. I was in a hurry.
HOST: The problem is that, you know, with toilet seats, you clean them. Purses you just throw stuff in there and you never clean them, so they become basically lady museums full of lotion bottles, old lipsticks and pounds of little, you know, germs, is what I'm trying to say. Somebody steals your purse, don't bother chasing them, just wait for the flesh-eating bacteria to get them.
HOST: Bobcat, we all have this idyllic image of members of the fire department rescuing a cat from a tree. But the New York Fire Department had slightly more on their plates when they also had to rescue what?
GOLDTHWAIT: A capybara.
HOST: A what?
GOLDTHWAIT: A cappy bear or capybara.
HOST: Oh, a capybara.
GOLDTHWAIT: Yeah, well, you say it that way, I say it the correct way. But...
HOST: We're talking - that's the large rodent of the South American jungles.
GOLDTHWAIT: It's the - no, it's the largest rodent.
HOST: Excuse me.
GOLDTHWAIT: That's what I was going to go with for a food source earlier.
GOLDTHWAIT: It was an animal that was someone's pet?
HOST: Well, the whole thing start - I mean, they didn't just have to rescue the cat in the tree. What else did they have to do?
GOLDTHWAIT: Get it's litter box down?
HOST: It grabbed all the possessions because it was running away.
BODETT: Took his furniture.
GOLDTHWAIT: A dog?
GOLDTHWAIT: No, wait, I know this one.
HOST: You know? I'm sure you do, go for it.
GOLDTHWAIT: A squid.
BODETT: That was a good guess.
HOST: I love that.
BODETT: I once guessed a 12-foot snake randomly on this show and it was correct.
GOLDTHWAIT: I was - a 12-foot snake?
HOST: No, it wasn't a 12-foot snake. Does anybody know? In addition to having to rescue the cat that was up in the tree, they had to rescue the New York police officer who had gone up in the tree to rescue the cat.
HOST: It all started when a police officer in Queens was asked by several neighborhood kids to go get a cat out of the tree. There's a cat in the tree, officer, there's a cat in the tree. He tried and got stuck out there himself. The FDNY rushed to the scene and after spending several minutes collapsed in a pile laughing...
HOST: ...they rescued both the cop and the cat and gave them both a saucer of warm milk.
HOST: Following the incident the NYPD released this statement. We have no idea how he got in there. Typically, he's just an indoor officer.
HOST: Somebody must've left the front door open and he bolted through.
GOLDTHWAIT: They'd been trying to get him out of the tree with donuts, everything.

It is claimed that the corporations produced parts of vehicles that were used by the apartheid police to carry out assassinations of activists and brutal raids. In a "show of good faith", General Motors negotiated a "without prejudice" settlement with the claimants, despite the fact that the bankruptcy court in the US ruled that they had no claim. The result of this negotiation was finalised by a US court on February 27. The victims have been represented by the Khulumani Support Group, a lobby group for financial reparations for victims of apartheid, and Lungisile Ntsebeza, brother of leading lawyer Dumisa Ntsebeza. The Mail & Guardian understands the total amount of the settlement is $1.5-million, to be split between the Khulumani group and the claimants represented by Ntsebeza. Charles Abrahams, attorney for Khulumani, told the M&G: "The settlement is a small amount. It was a show of good faith on the part of General Motors, considering that they are bankrupt." Motors Liquidation Company (formerly known as General Motors Corp), filed for bankruptcy on June 1 2009. On July 5 2009, an order was entered approving the sale of all of Motors Liquidation Company's assets to a new and independent company, the new General Motors Company, under the bankruptcy code. Bullet wounds Mama Elsie Gishi lives in the poor surroundings of Nyanga, Western Cape with her children and grandchildren. The scars from bullet wounds in her head and chest are a permanent reminder of the brutality she suffered at the hands of the security forces under apartheid rule. She was shot in the 1970s when security police, looking for her husband, burst into her house and opened fire. Gishi (80) still receives medical treatment every second month for the injuries she sustained. She said most of the money would go towards paying her medical bills. "It's about time. We are dying here," she said when told the news of the settlement. It has been 10 years since the lawsuit was first lodged in November 2002 and the General Motors settlement is the first glimmer of hope for the claimants. There are still cases pending in the Second Circuit Court of Appeal in New York against Ford Motor Company, IBM, Daimler AG and Rheinmetall, Abrahams said. "It's far from over, but we hope that this settlement motivates the others to reconsider their positions," he said. A law in US called the Alien Tort Claims Act, which seeks to codify customary international law, protects basic human dignities.It allows non-US citizens to bring cases against non-US citizens in a US court. The original damages suffered and claimed for were human rights violations including assassination and murder, indiscriminate shooting, prolonged detention without trial, torture and rape (in detention). An additional damage of "denationalisation" (deprivation of citizenship) was later included. Abrahams praised the South African government's recent support of Khulumani's legal action. In September 2009, Justice Minister Jeff Radebe wrote a letter to the US District Court to confirm that it recognises the court as the best forum to hear the case. This after then president Thabo Mbeki and his justice minister Penuell Maduna in 2003 distanced the government from the litigation, saying it would damage foreign investment in the country. Shirley Gunn, director of the Human Rights Media Centre on Wednesday appealed to the government to get behind the claimants as they continued their class action suit. "People are frail. They are literally dying while waiting for this to be resolved. Two of the 13 claimants have died already, and the rest are very old," Gunn told the M&G. "The problem is we can't get to New York. The big companies come in with a team of legal representatives. It really is a case of David versus Goliath." Gunn said the payout to Khulumani will be put into a trust and each claimant will receive a small amount of about R10 000 each. "The rest of the money will go towards the benefit of Khulumani members as a whole." Tags: Adrian Ephraim, General Motors, Khulumani Support Group

Smartphone kill-switch bill passes California assembly
Smartphone kill-switch bill passes California assembly
By Martyn Williams
IDG News Service | Aug 7, 2014 12:05 PM
A bill requiring that all smartphones sold in California
contain a "kill-switch" that allows users to disable them if stolen was
approved by the California Assembly on Thursday morning.
The bill had previously been approved by the state's
senate although it will have to return for a vote on amendments made by the
assembly. If those are approved, it will pass into law once signed by Governor
Jerry Brown.
The California bill mandates that all smartphones contain
software that will allow the user to remotely wipe the phone of personal data
and lock it so it cannot be used unless an unlocking code is entered. The
software will need to be resistant to attempts to replace the phone's operating
system, be enabled by default but with the possibility of being disabled by
consumers, and be on all phones manufactured after July 1, 2015, and sold in
the state.
One of the amendments made to the bill in the assembly
allows for phones that were introduced prior to 2015 "that cannot reasonably be
reengineered" to continue to be sold past July 1, 2015.
Proponents of the bill say that it will reduce smartphone
theft because thieves are much less likely to steal phones if the handsets
quickly become unusable.
"We are on the verge of implementing regulations that will
have tremendous benefits to public safety," said San Francisco District
Attorney George Gascon, who has been one of the leading forces behind the bill.
"We are on the eve of securing wireless consumers everywhere from the violent
threat of theft."
The California bill would be the second state law in the
country mandating a kill switch. The first was passed in Minnesota in May.
There are also two bills in the U.S. Congress that are similarly seeking a
mandated kill switch.
The wireless industry had initially objected to the law
saying it would make smartphones more vulnerable to hackers, but earlier this
year reversed its stance and began supporting the kill switch.
To date, only Apple has implemented a kill switch in its
phones but Google and Microsoft have both committed to adding one to upcoming
updates to their respective smartphone operating systems.
This story, "Smartphone kill-switch bill passes
California assembly" was originally published by IDG News Service .

To help celebrate the laser's fiftieth anniversary, APS's outreach department is holding a video contest with a $1,000 grand prize for the winning video. The contest, run through the APS outreach website PhysicsCentral, is aimed at a wide variety of people who are interested in physics and science.
PhysicsCentral Website
"We really want to make sure we're engaging the public and not just informing them," said Becky Thompson, APS's head of public outreach. "With a video contest we can get a whole range of people to participate."
This year's video contest is laser- themed in conjunction with LaserFest, the yearlong celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the invention of the laser. Modeled after previous years' successful Nanobowl and ToyBox Physics contests, the LaserFest video contest invites contestants to create videos that use lasers in some way to highlight a physics concept. The idea is not necessarily to demonstrate how a laser works or show off the physics of lasers, but just to incorporate lasers and physics together into the video. The contest organizers have intentionally left directions about the content of the videos open-ended to foster as much creativity in submissions as possible.
"One of the neat things about the video contest is that we leave it vague," Thompson said. "I don't know exactly what I'm expecting, and I kind of like that."
Last year's ToyBox Physics contest invited participants to create a video that shows some concept of physics with toys. Demonstrating physics using football was the theme in 2008, the first year the contest was held. Past winners can still be found on the Physics Central and YouTube.
The organizers aim to have each video be about two minutes in length and somehow use lasers to demonstrate a physics concept. The contest is open to anyone who wants to participate. Previous contestants have ranged from elementary school students to national laboratories. To enter, contestants must post their videos to YouTube with the word "LaserFest" somewhere in the title, and send an email with "LaserFest Video" in the subject line to PhysicsCentral.
The grand prize winner, chosen by a panel of APS staff involved in public outreach and engagement, will receive a trophy made from laser toys and $1,000. Visitors to the PhysicsCentral website will be able to vote for the people's choice award winner starting on May 24th. The winners of both awards will be announced on May 31st.
The deadline for submissions is May 16th, 2010, the actual date that marks the fiftieth anniversary of the first successful demonstration of a laser.
APS encourages the redistribution of the materials included in this newspaper provided that attribution to the source is noted and the materials are not truncated or changed.

I got sick. I don't feel good. My friend called and left a message on my phone it said " I'm calling from Crank-a-holics Anonymous, you missed your meeting". Well I might be just a teensy bit cranky. I don't feel good.
Here's a photo for you since words hurt my head, I picked a random one off my computer that I thought you might enjoy. It's of my daughter standing next to a 30 metre high waterfall, in New Zealand. I hope you like it and I really hope you don't get sick. Like me.
I'll be back soon, with those meme's and more...

WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - North Korea's missile tests and menacing rhetoric have disappointed United States (US) expectations that young leader Kim Jong Un would be different than his father but Washington still hopes to persuade Pyongyang to change course, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Tuesday.
"With a new young leader we all expected something different," Mrs Clinton said in a town hall-style session put together by the State Department and broadcast worldwide. "We expected him to focus on improving the lives of the North Korea people, not just the elite, but everyone.
"Instead he has engaged in very provocative rhetoric and behavior," she said of Mr Kim, who took over his impoverished, isolated North-east Asian nation when his father, Kim Jong Il, died in December 2011.
Last week, the North declared a boycott of all dialogue aimed at ending its nuclear program and vowed to conduct more rocket and nuclear tests with its "sworn enemy" the US as the target.
The serial diatribes in North Korea's state media, which also threatened US ally South Korea with war, came after the United Nations (UN) Security Council censured it for a long-range missile launch in December and added to longstanding sanctions.
Many analysts say North Korea is preparing for what would be its third nuclear weapons test, with Kim Jong Un following his father's pattern of drawing international opprobrium with a missile test and then responding to world criticism with another missile or nuclear test.
Mrs Clinton, in one of her final interviews before leaving office, said the US, its allies Japan and South Korea and regional powers China and now "have to work closely together to try to change the behaviour of the North Korean regime".
"We still hope there is a way to convince the North Korean regime not to pursue this path," she said.
Noting that the young Kim was partly educated in Switzerland and might seek to make changes to the regime his grandfather founded in 1948, she urged him to "be the kind of leader who will be remembered for the millennia as the person who moved North Korea on a path of reform".

How long should your vision statement be?
The answer: Long enough.
Long enough to evoke a noble sense of purpose, provide a call to action, and describe a clear picture of your destination.
These four vision statements work because they condense a lot of information into an inspiring statement that is quickly understood by most people. If you were not familiar with the context, it would require a much longer statement to explain them.
xxxxxxxxA computer on every desk. ~Steve Jobs
xxxxxxxxA computer on every desk in every home running Microsoft software. ~Bill Gates
xxxxxxxxProduce an affordable automobile. ~Henry Ford
xxxxxxxxOne team, one country. ~Nelson Mandela
HOWEVER…most effective vision statements are NOT short statements.
Consider Martin Luther King, Jr's "I Have a Dream" statement, Thomas Jefferson's vision for the United States or Louis Gertsner, Jr's vision to bring IBM back to it's roots as a provider of integrated solutions. Most effective vision statements cannot be adequately conveyed in a few sweeping sentences.
A one-liner can be helpful as it provides a rally call that reminds us of the full message. However, it becomes problematic if you think your vision must be a one-liner.
When a one-liner doesn't come easily, people often come up with something that amounts to little more than a marketing slogan – all fluff and no substance.
Here are some examples of one-liners that don't work.
"To be the provider of choice."
On an internet search, I found 20 unrelated companies that listed this as their mission.
"To become the most competitive enterprise in the world by being number one or number two in every business in which we compete." ~Jack Welch.
A statement like this creates a danger of dilution as it provides no guidelines. Would they acquire any viable business that is number one or two? Drycleaning? School buses? Pet grooming? Jack Welch's effectiveness with GE was not due to this particular sentence.
"One Vision. Mission. Passion. The best possible care." ~St. Francis Hospital
I noticed this statement hanging as a huge sign as I walked through the airport this week. I was astounded – "The best possible care." Isn't that the point of all hospitals? In effect, the sign is saying "our vision is to do our job exceptionally well." It's hard to get too excited about a statement like that. A mobilizing statement dares you to be more than mediocre. How much more powerful it would be if their statement was something like: "The best possible care for everyone who enters our doors, regardless of their circumstances."
What makes a vision statement work?
What all great vision statements have in common is they provide an answer these three questions, either directly or indirectly.
1) Destination: Where are we going?
2) Purpose: Why do we exist? What greater good do we serve?
3) Values: What principles guide our decisions and actions on our journey?
If your one-liner conveys the answer to these questions, that's great. If not, don't worry if your statement is longer.

Though there is almost no sub-discipline of biblical studies which does not pique his interest, Justin's primary interests are all things Hebrew Bible (though the Pentateuch and the Minor Prophets occupy most of his attention), literary methods of interpretation, the Ancient Near Eastern context of the Hebrew Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Second Temple Judaism, and Hellenistic Judaism. Justin first stumbled across AHE while looking for reliable online resources on biblical studies and the Ancient Near East. Justin is excited to be part of a project which seeks to make reliable resources for the study of the ancient world freely available.

I do NOT believe the way to achieve business agility is to "build a business knowledge-base that captures all the business rules and mental knowledge in an organization to prepare for change" (as one commenter recently wrote). I do NOT believe that, nor does the Business Agility Manifesto (https://lnkd.in/e5JCFc4) say to do that. As one of its three authors I am 100% certain.
The Manifesto's message is that change initiatives should be conducted in more knowledge-aware and knowledge-centric fashion than today. As you develop business capabilities (conduct projects) the knowledge should be made explicit (e.g., as business rules, concept models, etc.) and retained. That approach permits not only the given business solution to be more agile, but as the knowledge is managed and extended, solutions built subsequently as well. You build on success.
We three authors spoke together November 10 on the Opinion of Gurus panel at the Building Business Capability (BBC) conference in Orlando, Florida (a spectacular event!). We specifically said NOT to go about things the way the commenter said. So who's the guilty party that says we do?!

A History of the French in London: Liberty, Equality, Opportunity / eds. Martyn Cornick, Debra Kelly
Review Date:
3 Apr 2014What a great idea! The only wonder is why no publishing house thought of commissioning a book on the topic before. The reader's delight starts straight from looking at the cover illustration – a 'translation' of Harry Beck's celebrated London Tube Map, in which Waterloo Station becomes Gare de Napoléon.

Eli Lilly Warehouse Thief Admits Participating In Additional Multimillion Dollar Burglaries
– Stole more than $1.5 million in cigarettes from Leitchfield, Kentucky warehouse
New Haven, Conn. – The United States Attorney's Offices for the District of Connecticut, Eastern District of Virginia, Middle District of Florida and Western District of Kentucky announced that Amed Villa pleaded guilty yesterday, before U.S. Magistrate Judge Joan G. Margolis in New Haven to federal conspiracy and theft charges stemming from his participation in warehouse burglaries in Virginia, Florida and Kentucky. On July 1, 2013, Villa pleaded guilty in the District of Connecticut to charges stemming from the theft of approximately $90 million in pharmaceuticals from the Eli Lilly Company warehouse and storage facility in Enfield, Conn., in March 2010, and more than $8 million in cigarettes and a cargo trailer from a warehouse in East Peoria, Ill., in January 2010.
In pleading guilty to the additional charges, Villa, 49, admitted that he and others stole more than $13.3 million in pharmaceuticals from the GlaxoSmithKline warehouse in Colonial Heights, Va., in August 2009, approximately $7.8 million in cellular telephones and multimedia tablets from the Quality One Wireless warehouse in Orlando, Fla., in January 2011, and more than $1.5 million in cigarettes from the Coremark Cigarette Warehouse in Leitchfield, Ky., in March 2011.
Villa was charged with the additional thefts in the Eastern District of Virginia, Middle District of Florida and Western District of Kentucky, respectively, and the cases were transferred to the District of Connecticut for further prosecution.
During each of the thefts, Villa and his co-conspirators gained entry into the warehouse through the roof, disabled the alarm system and loaded the stolen goods into tractor trailers.
Villa's DNA was identified on items discarded during the thefts in Connecticut, Illinois, Florida and Virginia.
To date, Villa has pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiracy to commit theft from an interstate shipment and five counts of theft from an interstate shipment. He is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton in New Haven on December 4, 2013, at which time he faces a maximum term of imprisonment of five years on each of the conspiracy counts, and a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years on each of the theft counts.
Villa, a citizen of Cuba who last resided in Miami, has been detained since his arrest on May 3, 2012.
The investigation of the Connecticut warehouse theft is being led by the FBI in New Haven and the Enfield Police Department, the investigation of the Illinois theft is being led by ATF and the East Peoria Police Department, the investigation of the Virginia theft is being led by the FBI, the investigation of the Florida theft is being led by the FBI and the Orlando Police Department, and the investigation of the Kentucky theft is being led by ATF.
This case is being prosecuted in the District of Connecticut by Assistant U.S. Attorney Anastasia E. King, with the assistance of Assistant U.S. Attorney K. Tate Chambers of the Central District of Illinois, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jessica Aber of the Eastern District of Virginia, Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher LaForgia of the Middle District of Florida and Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua Judd of the Western District of Kentucky.

LAS VEGAS – If Casey Colletti had a one-horse trailer, he'd haul Scarlett's Web with him to every rodeo.
He proved why on Monday night by winning bareback riding's fifth go-round of the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo with an 88.5-point ride on the Classic Pro Rodeo bucking horse. It helped Colletti to an $18.257 payday and gave him a much needed boost of confidence heading into the second half of the 10-round championship.
"I knew a lot about her, actually; I had her at the short round at Cheyenne (Wyo.) this year, and I was an 89 on her there," Colletti said. "Every time I've seen her, she circles around to the right and stays close to the bucking chutes."
Classic owner Scotty Lovelace told Colletti just before the ride that the horse has been known to circle left. That's just what the mare did.
"I'm glad she went left," Colletti said with a laugh. "I've been wanting to get on Scarlett's Web at the NFR. This is a dream come true for me."
Colletti was the first cowboy to go, meaning he had to watch with great anticipation as the remaining 14 cowboys rode.
"I just hoped nobody beat me," he said. "I wanted them all to win, but I wanted them to be 88 and below.
"I was a little bit bummed out earlier this week, missing one out and getting bucked off. To win the TV pen, it's pretty cool to win this (go-round) buckle."
Midway through the rugged 10-round finale, most of the bareback riders are feeling the pressure of tying themselves to the rankest bucking beasts in the business. There are sore arms, shoulders and hands. It just comes with the territory.
"Right now, the adrenaline's pumping, so I don't feel anything," he said. "I'm a little bit sore today. We're five rounds in. I'll probably wake up a little sore tomorrow."
This is the second go-round victory for Colletti, who won the ninth round last December with an 87.5-point ride.
"Any time you can top your highest score is great," said Colletti, who has pushed his NFR earnings to nearly $33,000 – his season total is $99,614.

FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller says the defendants were arrested for plotting to bomb government facilities and public places. They include a man who served in the U.S. Air Force.
According to a federal complaint unsealed Monday during initial appearances, 34-year-old Sohiel Omar Kabir introduced two other California men to the radical Islamist doctrine of Anwar al-Awlaki, a deceased al-Qaida leader.
Kabir served in the Air Force from 2000 to 2001. Authorities say he went to Afghanistan and communicated with the other two - 23-year-old Ralph Deleon and 21-year-old Miguel Alejandro Santana Vidriales - so he could arrange for their travel to join him and meet with his contacts for terror organizations.
They later recruited 21-year-old Arifeen David Gojali.
The complaint says Deleon and Santana told an FBI source of their plans to engage in "violent jihad."

Frozen in Time is a gripping true story of survival, bravery, and honor in the vast Arctic wilderness during World War II, from Mitchell Zuckoff, the author of New York Times bestseller Lost in Shangri-La.
On November 5, 1942, a US cargo plane slammed into the Greenland Ice Cap. Four days later, the B-17 assigned to the search-and-rescue mission became lost in a blinding storm and also crashed. Miraculously, all nine men on board survived, and the US military launched a daring rescue operation. But after picking up one man, the Grumman Duck amphibious plane flew into a severe storm and vanished.
Frozen in Time tells the story of these crashes and the fate of the survivors, bringing vividly to life their battle to endure 148 days of the brutal Arctic winter, until an expedition headed by famed Arctic explorer Bernt Balchen brought them to safety. Mitchell Zuckoff takes the reader deep into the most hostile environment on earth, through hurricane-force winds, vicious blizzards, and subzero temperatures.
Moving forward to today, he recounts the efforts of the Coast Guard and North South Polar Inc. – led by indefatigable dreamer Lou Sapienza – who worked for years to solve the mystery of the Duck's last flight and recover the remains of its crew.
A breathtaking blend of mystery and adventure Mitchell Zuckoff's Frozen in Time: An Epic Story of Survival and a Modern Quest for Lost Heroes of World War II is also a poignant reminder of the sacrifices of our military personnel and a tribute to the everyday heroism of the US Coast Guard.

text: Legislative leaders from nine states announced this month they are launching a series of caucuses to help legislators strengthen religious liberty in their respective states, WORLD News Service reports. The new caucuses currently include lawmakers from Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oklahoma and Tennessee. The Ethics and Public Policy Center's American Religious Freedom Program (ARFP), dedicated to protecting religious rights nationwide, plans to expand the caucuses to all 50 states by the end of 2013. "Faith communities across the nation have begun working together to secure and strengthen our cherished religious liberties on behalf of all Americans of all faiths," said ARFP executive director Brian W. Walsh. "Today the movement to defend religious freedom is being joined by a bipartisan group of highly effective legislators in nine state capitals who will provide unifying leadership on these caucuses." Rep. John J. DeBerry, Jr., one of the founders of Tennessee's religious freedom caucus, said, "Religious diversity in America is increasing greatly, and the only way we will hold together as one people is by continuing to ensure robust religious freedoms and rights of conscience for all Americans." DeBerry added that "some government leaders seem to have forgotten that freedom of religion includes keeping government out of matters that properly belong to America's faith communities."

Stevie Nicks Guest Stars on 'Up All Night'
Stevie Nicks brought her magical, mystical powers to NBC's 'Up All Night' last evening (March 29), appearing as a much-sought after guest on the fictional talk show where lead characters Reagan (Christina Applegate) and Ava (Maya Rudolph) work on the popular sitcom.
After some well-executed hijinks force the ladies to nervously meet their idol with a new yappy puppy and crying baby unexpectedly in tow, Nicks takes control by magically getting both the child and the animal to pipe down with a simple "shhhhh." It also turns out that a mere wave of her scarves can control the light in a room.
Later in the show Nicks' song 'Sleeping Angel' (from the 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High' soundtrack) served as the backing music for a montage about people moving gracefully on to the next phase of their life -- babies learning how to walk, dogs playing with strangers for the first time, and Reagan's husband Chris (Will Arnett) accepting that he belongs in the "old guys" hockey league now.
Finally, show producer Reagan's dreams of performing with Nicks come true... but only in her imagination. In real life, Nicks revealed she was watched at home as the show mentioned her in an early episode, and explains that's why reached out to them about appearing on the program: "I was so touched by that show."
Despite having by her own admission hardly any acting experience, Nicks said she had a blast and felt no pressure due to the fun nature of the set. "I just laughed so hard... I spend a lot of time with a lot of serious people. It has been a joy for me to do this, because it has allowed me to experience something very different than my world."

Using a holistic perspective on athlete talent development, this study examines the impact of role strain on the life satisfaction in various life domains of junior elite Australian Rules Football players. One hundred and twelve talent-identified male Australian Rules Football players (Mage = 16.8; SD = .71) completed measures of role strain and multidimensional life satisfaction. The results indicated that role strain explained twelve to twenty-four percent of the variance in life satisfaction in the players' life domains. Experiences of role strain related to the players' dual careers were associated with decreased life satisfaction in sport, friendships, family, yourself, and global life satisfaction domains. Situations in which the players perceived that their abilities were underutilized were also negatively associated with life satisfaction across various life domains. This study thus evidences the importance of a domain specific, holistic approach to investigate the life satisfaction in junior athletes' dual careers.

Jerry, my friend,
you've done it again,
even in your silence
the familiar pressure
comes to bear, demanding
I pull words from the air
with only this morning
and part of the afternoon
to compose an ode worthy
of one so particular
about every turn of phrase,
demanding it hit home
in a thousand ways
before making it his own,
and this I can't do alone.
Now that the singer is gone,
where shall I go for the song?
Without your melody and taste
to lend an attitude of grace
a lyric is an orphan thing,
a hive with neither honey's taste
nor power to truly sting.
What choice have I but to dare and
call your muse who thought to rest
out of the thin blue air
that out of the field of shared time,
a line or two might chance to shine --
As ever when we called,
in hope if not in words,
the muse descends.
How should she desert us now?
Scars of battle on her brow,
bedraggled feathers on her wings,
and yet she sings, she sings!
May she bear thee to thy rest,
the ancient bower of flowers
beyond the solitude of days,
the tyranny of hours--
the wreath of shining laurel lie
upon your shaggy head
bestowing power to play the lyre
to legions of the dead
If some part of that music
is heard in deepest dream,
or on some breeze of Summer
a snatch of golden theme,
we'll know you live inside us
with love that never parts
our good old Jack O'Diamonds
become the King of Hearts.
I feel your silent laughter
at sentiments so bold
that dare to step across the line
to tell what must be told,
so I'll just say I love you,
which I never said before
and let it go at that old friend
the rest you may ignore.
