Weeds: Oh, the words that come out of our mouths
My father, Sylvester, did not swear often. A rare "damn" was used if things were going terribly. The s-word was used simply because we had animals and had to deal with the waste substance being described.
But on occasion, when a cow was not cooperating or some man had done something despicable, my dad would utter in a lowered voice, "Schweinhund." Translated from German, a schweinhund is a pig dog. Now, if I was really angry at you and walked up to you and called you a "pig dog," you probably wouldn't take me too seriously.
In German, though, "Schweinhund" is a grave insult. When my dad was young, his parents spoke German. Like many at that time, his first English came at country school. German was his native tongue, and the depth of meaning in a word like schweinhund was felt by him. To us, it just sounds silly.
Of course, we English-speakers have plenty of our own cuss words. I love words. I get to fool around with them here every couple of weeks. But when I hear or read thoughts that include obscenities, I cringe. It always seems like the user is proving he is not smart enough to make the point with "good" words. That said, I am a sinner, too.
Oh, there are times I strip a bolt with a crescent wrench and try to ram my knuckles through metal. Or I might wind up with a perfect backswing and hit the top of my golf ball rolling it about ten feet. In these moments of anguish, something has to come out, a release. It might be "Ack!" or some other guttural cry of agony. Often it is one of those words that I don't like.
There are other times I use blue language where I can't forgive myself as easily. I've noticed that unconsciously I have different vocabularies I use in different settings. I don't swear at home. A few times as the kids were growing up they came home with a new word, and I made it perfectly clear that we would not have that language in our house.
But if I'm having a beer with old classmates or farmer-buddies, I hear myself using a sprinkling of "bad" words. It's never out of anger; if I am angry, I'm going to carefully choose the words I use. It's more a part of our humor, like a joke where we pretend to be tough guys. Lots of times it's part of giving each other "crap." See. There I go.
Speaking of tough guys, I heard a sociologist talking about tribal cultures. He mentioned that they don't have "swear" words in their language. The use of profanity is part of a macho attitude, a way of trying to look strong. In these tribal villages, there is no such thing as "looking" strong. If you are pretending, you aren't going to survive. You better be able to hunt or defend the tribe. Sounding tough doesn't help.
Sometimes I am in a convenience store and some guy is cussing on his cell phone, oblivious to children or others around him. I wish I could magically lift the punk up by the scruff of his neck and drop him into the Amazon jungle. "Here you go, tough guy. See how far the f-word gets you here."
Unfortunately you don't have to go to a convenience store to hear bad language. Thanks to television, foul words are there at the touch of your remote. Here I'll sound old, but in the World That I Grew Up In, it was safe to turn on the TV with kids around. The rare "hell" or "damn" might be dropped after 9 p.m. Now all sorts of words that I don't want my children to use are there 24/7.
Movies have also slid into the mucky part of the road. I enjoy the theater experience. But I find myself thinking, "Lots of people I know don't talk like this, why do these characters have to?" When an actor is unleashing a string of profanities to an audience in a theater, or worse, in your home, what are we gaining here? There used to be a notion of art being "fine" or "high." What would be so wrong with the media striving to higher standards hoping to lift viewers upward? Instead, media is coarser, which causes us to act coarser, which causes media to be coarser, which causes us
Besides, reserving a strong word till the right moment can be effective. "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn," caused people to gasp in 1939. There was a time Ezra was little and an older kid was picking on him. I picked him up at school and he was telling me about this. I said to him, "Why don't you just tell him to, 'Go to hell?'" Ezra looked at me with wide eyes, like I'd just handed him a weapon. If that sort of language isn't part of your daily fare, it can empower.
For all the annoyance I feel about the awful words, I would gladly accept them if we agreed to take the Third Commandment seriously. Can we leave God out of this? Obviously calling God's damnation onto something is offensive. But do we have to "Oh-my-God" everything? "Oh, my God" can be a lovely little prayer. Now it is used to express everything but prayer. Monotheists should organize to fight this plague.
Profane words are a funny thing. They're just sounds we make, but we assign this negative meaning to them. Their only power comes from all of us giving them that power. If we decide tomorrow the f-word and s-word mean nothing, we could do that.
But then what happens to the good and beautiful words? What about I "care" for you, and I am your "friend," and I "love" you. We want, we need, these to have power and meaning. Then we must accept that all words have power and meaning. The author Wendell Berry wrote an essay called "Standing by Words." It ends with this thought, "We are speaking where we stand, and we shall stand afterwards in the presence of what we have said." The words we choose are who we are. For those who knew us, they will be part of our legacy. We'd best choose carefully.

Three fall through ice near Gladstone
By JENNY LANCOUR
For The Daily News
KIPLING – Fishermen and other ice enthusiasts are reminded to approach area waters with extreme caution in light of three people falling through the ice near Kipling on Saturday, said local police.
Two adult males and a male juvenile were assisted off the ice by a resident with a four-wheeler after the trio went through the ice near the public access site at the mouth of the Days River, according to the Delta County Sheriff Department. The emergency was reported to 9-1-1 around 7 p.m.
A Michigan State trooper was the first to arrive at the scene where a truck with its lights on was being used to guide the group to the shore, said Sheriff Gary Ballweg this morning. A police report did not indicate why the three were out on the ice.
The two adults who fell through the ice were Scott Aho, 42, and Leo Aho, age unknown. The juvenile was Kyler Aho, 13. All three are from Alger County, said Ballweg.
Leo and Kyler were treated at the scene by Rampart Emergency Medical Services personnel. Scott sought his own treatment, according to the police report.

Among the diverse portfolio of U.S.-Peru bilateral cooperation, a leading priority is combating drug trafficking and helping low-income Peruvian farmers find alternative legal crops to support their families and communities. The problem is urgent: Peru is one of the top cocaine producing countries in the world. Reducing illegal coca cultivation in Peru and replacing it with alternatives such as coffee and cacao is a key element of the Government of Peru's anti-narcotics plan. Coca eradication and alternative development are important components of the United States' ongoing commitment to support Peru in its anti-narcotics goals. This strategic bilateral partnership has had a significant impact on the ground through an eradication program supported by the Embassy Narcotics Affairs Section (NAS) and alternative development programs by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Recently, I had the opportunity to travel to Peru's mountainous Huánuco Region, a coca-growing area in the Andes, to get a birds' eye view of the challenges the people of this remote area face and how U.S.-Peru cooperation is helping to make a difference. I also had the pleasure of hosting the new head of Peru's anti-drug agency DEVIDA on the trip.
Fewer Drugs. From above the tree tops inside a U.S.-owned helicopter, flown by female Peruvian police pilots, my Peruvian counterpart and I could see countless patches of illegal coca crops neatly intermingled among the lush mountain growth. The Peruvian government takes seriously the threat of the narcotics trade, and since 2011 has intensified efforts to eradicate the drug-producing crop. Last year, the Peruvian coca eradication agency eradicated more than 10,000 hectares of illegal coca, equivalent to 71 tons of export-quality cocaine. The goal for 2012 is to eradicate 14,000 hectares and to begin eradication in new areas.
More Chocolate. Complementing eradication with alternative development programs for impacted communities is critical to long-term success. USAID/Peru's Alternative Development team is doing just that. In close cooperation with regional and local government as well as community organizations, USAID and its partners tailor assistance to each community's priorities and needs. Assistance includes planting cacao, coffee, and other cash-generating crops, increasing crop productivity, promoting access to credit for farmers, strengthening producer associations, and partnering with community leaders to support local development initiatives. One example of this success has been in Peru's San Martin Region where since 2002 more than 40,000 hectares of coffee, cacao and palm oil have been planted and more than 22,000 hectares of illegal coca were eradicated.
In Huánuco, I also toured a USAID-supported cooperative that purchases crops from former cacao and coffee from 5000 member families and creates value for these desirable agricultural products by promoting organic cacao beans, cocoa powder, and cocoa butter in national and international markets. As we toured the factory, it was easy to see that business is booming; the factory is installing state-of-the art, large scale equipment to meet increasing demand. The cooperative exemplifies the numerous benefits that alternative development brings to communities that transition from an illegal economy based on coca to a legal one based on coffee and chocolate. These benefits include increased sales, more jobs, access to credit, and a decrease in poverty for the entire area.
The Government of Peru has a successful model of eradication and alternative development supported by the U.S. Government through NAS and USAID, and we are eager to continue our work with the Peruvians to address the growing problem of illicit coca production. On my trip to Huánuco, this successful partnership was highly visible both on the ground and in the air.

According to the latest market data from ABI Research, almost 35 million netbooks will be shipped by manufacturers in 2009, a forecast the firm first made in February. Although almost all large OEMs introduced their netbooks, the main suppliers of the low-cost mobile PCs will be Acer Group, Asustek Computer and Samsung Electronics.
"74% of 2008 netbook shipments bore the brands of just three vendors: Acer, Asus and Samsung. However, the rapid growth of netbooks as a second computer in developed markets will be eclipsed in coming years by vendors targeting developing nations and first Internet PCs at home," said senior analyst Jeff Orr from ABI.
The netbook and nascent mobile Internet device markets are not locked up. While several of the leading netbook vendors are recognizable brands from the laptop and desktop computing markets, new vendors – including handset maker Nokia – have introduced netbooks and MIDs in an effort to participate in the growth of these segments. ABI Research forecasts UMDs (ultra-mobile devices: the combination of netbooks, MIDs and UMPCs) to top 124 million systems shipped in 2011.
As netbook markets thrive, the mobile consumer electronics category, which is expected to account for only about two million device shipments this year, is forecast to top 50 million in 2014. This market is currently led by connected Personal Navigation Devices (PNDs) and e-book readers. Every major navigation company is in the running, offering turn-by-turn navigation, overlays, weather, traffic, and real-time traffic updates. Amazon's Kindle has lots of competition coming from the Barnes & Noble Nook, Sony Daily Edition, iRex, Plastic Logic Que and others.
Finally, the analyst believes, laptop vendors may soon "reinvent the UMPC," bringing down the low-end laptop price to $500 through ultra-low voltage machines.
"That could affect some netbook sales in developed markets, especially the business users," said Mr. Orr.

Easy and fun pets
Whether you call it a Betta, Beta or Siamese Fighting Fish, the Betta Splendens (the scientific name for the Betta) is a small, colorful, freshwater tropical fish, originally from Asia. It is often found swimming solo in ornamental containers at the home or office and can be purchased at most pet stores in small glasses of water, stacked on shelves.
What's in a name? The Betta takes its name from an ancient clan of warriors in Southeast Asia known as the Bettah. Betta fights became very popular in Siam with the winner being declared based on bravery. The Betta fish was discovered initially in Southeast Asia, calling rice paddies, drainage ditches and floodplains home. Its habitat was subject to floods and droughts, however, and the Betta fish developed into a labyrinth fish, a fish that can take oxygen directly through air and through its gills. Because of this ability, Betta fish can survive in smaller containers than a normal fish.
What's in a shape? Bettas have several different tail shapes, including the "veil tail," "half moon" and "double tail." Bettas come in many colors, the most common being red, blue and green. Other color variations also exist.
To be or not to be alone? That is the question inexperienced fish owners ask when considering purchasing a Betta. The afishionados at Pet Sitters International explain that the Betta fish is not a schooling fish and prefers to swim alone. In fact, when placed with other Bettas, they will fight. In addition to being alone, Bettas need a comfortable place to hide such as an aquatic cave or dense, planted corners. Female Betta fish are not as aggressive as males. If you are determined to have multiple Bettas, make sure they're female and have adequate hiding places. Two male Betta fish in the same tank will produce an eventual fight to the death.
Double, double, toil and trouble? Betta fish are one of the easiest breeds to care for. Systematic changing of water, about one-third the amount of water for small containers, will keep your fish healthy. Bettas prefer slightly acidic, warm water. Bettas usually live two to three years.Brought to you by: American Profile - Inspirational Stories & American History

Quiz Bikram yoga expert Olga on what yoga can bring to your training
Morning everyone,
This lunchtime (1-2pm) we're joined by Olga Allon, the founder of Hot Bikram Yoga studios. She'll be on board to answer any questions you have about practising yoga - how you can fit it in with your training, what it can do to relieve specific injuries and more.
Olga's Hot Bikram Yoga studios in Fulham, Balham and London Bridge are firmly established destinations that reflect the ethos of Bikram Yoga, the UK's fastest growing form of yoga. Bikram Yoga is a demanding (but highly rewarding!) series of 26 postures and breathing exercises practised in a heated room. Practising Bikram Yoga can help with injuries and weight loss, reduces blood pressure, improves posture, eases back pain and relaxes the body and mind. Each posture in the series requires concentration, patience, determination and self-control, which leads to increased mental clarity and reduced stress. Bikram is perfect for those who are inflexible (like many runners!) and thos who have never tried yoga before.
We're opening the discussion now Olga so can get answering your questions at 1pm (rather than having to deal with a rush of questions at once).
Hi Olga
How useful is bikram for preparing the body acclimatise to races in hotter conditions?
Hi Olga,
I've got a question actually - I've heard that the heat required for Bikram yoga can allow people to overextend their muscles and ligaments, causing injury. Is this just a scurrilous rumour? I'd love to know the science behind the high temperatures and the impact this has on practising the postures.
How many sessions per week/ month would you have to do to see the benefits of weight loss?
thank you
I've taken part in a number of bikram courses and, whilst the physical benefits are apparent, I found that it was mentally quite stress inducing and at times agressive. This was partly due to the conditions of the practice room (number of people and how close we were to each other), and partly due to its extreme nature in general. What are your thoughts therefore on the mental benefits of bikram compared to 'dry' yoga.
QUESTION: Hi Olga
How useful is bikram for preparing the body acclimatise to races in hotter conditions? J
Hi Jimmy
Bikram Yoga is incredibly useful for this purpose. We have many students training for various events in hot conditions including the Marathon De Sables. We cannot mimic the exact conditions but when you do an intense 90 minute cardiovascular workout in 100 degrees heat and 60% humidity, you are giving yourself a chance to prepare your body for hot conditions. Please have a look at James Deans blog as an example of how Bikram Yoga has helpedhttp://hotbikramyoga.co.uk/?page_ID=7&news_ID=178&page_title=april-student-of-the-month:-james-dean
ANSWER: Hi Alice!
It is possible to injure yourself in a Bikram class in the same way you can injure yourself doing any form of exercise. My understanding of the science behind it is that heat causes the temporary increase in flexibility by softening the muscle tissues and heightening the elasticity in the muscles and connective tissue. Consequently, the supporting structures of the body, such as the joints, ligaments, and muscles, experience greater ranges of movement and therefore greater flexibility. Additionally, like other forms of yoga, students use their body weight, body mechanics, and gravity to build strength. Whether this can then lead to increase risk of injury, in my opinion that is down to the individual to work in a mindful way. One must work towards feeling a stretchy feeling in a posture but to back off from any pain. Teachers will guide you through simple postures and encourage you to do this- all postures are accessible for beginners with very little flexibility. There are stages to each posture and depending on your flexibility, you will take it to a different stage. The student must listen to their body on any particular day to prevent any injury.
thank you
ANSWER: HI Andreia!
It varies from person to person. The more you need to lose weight, the quicker this will happen. Generally though, I would recommend a minimum of 2 x week to see the effects take place but the more you come, the more your body will adapt and change. The key to it is a consistent and regular practice and teamed up with healthy eating. You will find that the more your practice, the more your body will want to fuel with healthy foods as you come out of every class feeling incredibly detoxed and cleansed. Have a look at my latest blog on nutrition which goes hand in hand with your Bikram practice. http://hotbikramyoga.co.uk/?page_ID=7&news_ID=182&page_title=taking-care-of-all-of-youMany people will see their body change shape in a matter of classes, for others who have less to loose, it may take longer. You are building lean muscle strength so you will see muscle tone and changing shape to your body.
QUESTION: Hi Olga,
ANSWER: Thanks Justine, this is an interesting one…
Hello Olga
Is the heat critical for safely performing Bikram Yoga? Is it still safe to perform the yoga positions under normal conditions (home, gym, pre-race) as part of a warm-up or warm-down routine or would you suggest that without the heat this should be avoided. Obviously I understand the full benefits may not be seen nor as quickly but if careful to avoid pain would you recommend "heat free" Bikram Yoga as beneficial too?
I have been experiencing heavy legs for the last week or so, and cannot put it down to anything. Which yoga asanas will help this?
Thanks for your quetsion. I would not recommend to anyone to do this series of postures outside the hot room. There are one or two that can be done safely , which I can run through with you another time, but so much of it is the hot humid environment and the series of the 26 postures done in sequence. One leads to the next and the heat and humidity is definitely needed to support this.
Having said all that, I do think that if you attend classes and get to know the sequence and understand a bit more about the postures, there are ways that you can start to adapt postures to suit your pre/post running warm up routine. You will learn so much about your body in terms of its flexibility and which postures work better for particular parts of your body. It just won't feel quite so good doing it on a cold frosty day outside!
Hi Olga,
I have quite a specific question: During standing seperate leg (<strong style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif, 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica; line-height: normal; text-align: left; background-color: #ffebd2;">Dandayamana-Bibhaktapada-Paschimotthanasana), I often experience pain on the inside of my knees, where my hamstrings insert beind the knee-cap. If I widen my pose, it gets worse; if I maintain a more narrow set up with my legs, I can't feel the stretch and feel a bit cheated, as it's such a great posture!
Could this be due to reunning-related tightness in my hamstrings? What's the best way to progress in the pose without worsening the pain in my knee during the posture? Thank you!
QUESTION: I have been experiencing heavy legs for the last week or so, and cannot put it down to anything. Which yoga asanas will help this?
ANSWER: thats a tricky one without seeing you and knowing what your legs have been up to lately! However, most runners need a good old hamstring stretch. I would try sitting down on the floor with your legs bent. Use your middle and index fingers to hook around your big toes. Start to straighten out your legs until you feel a stretchy feeling in the back of you legs. Keep your arms straight and day by day pull your toes and try to straighten out your legs keeping your shoulders back and spine staright. eventually your legs wil be compeletely straight and your heels pop up of the floor. Then, you can bend your elbows and sandwhich your chest on your legs and work your head closer and closer to your feet.
That will give you a great hamstring stretch and hopwfully help those heavy legs of yours!
QUESTION: Hi Olga,
Could this be due to reunning-related tightness in my hamstrings? What's the best way to progress in the pose without worsening the pain in my knee during the posture? Thank you!
ANSWER: Hey Alex! Such a fab posture: great stretch for back of legs and your spine too. Actually the wider your feet are apart, the easier the posture should be to get your forehead closer to the floor. I would certainly bring your feed closer together to take any pressure off your knees, possibly caused by tight hamstrings. Keep your feet straight, don't point them inwards, that may help too. With your feet a little closer to the point you feel no pain, you should be grabbing your heels, not the sides of your feet and start to bend your elbows back to meet your legs. You want to really pull on your heels, to feel a tremendous stretch down back of legs and start to pull your upper body towards your legs and down towards the floor. Let me know how you get along and please do ask a teacher to show you before class if you need any extra help!
Okay I'm not a runner but I wanted to know if Bikram Yoga is a good hangover cure. Is that the case?
I sometimes suffer from stress and find yoga very relaxing. Do you think bikram yoga would be just as good to help me chill out?
Thank you!
QUESTION: Okay I'm not a runner but I wanted to know if Bikram Yoga is a good hangover cure. Is that the case?
ANSWER: ha ha!! Yes! it is!! Nothing better than sweating it all out. Also, doing Bikram forces you to drink loads of water, further cleaning out your system after a night out! i also recommend a natural electrolyte like coconut water to help replenish you. Bikram really does help cure a hangover...or so I have been told!
ANSWER: Thanks Pamela. Do have a look at my response above to Justine. Whilst Bikram Yoga can certainly be very relaxing, it can take a while to experience that side of it, not always, but sometimes. You may need to try a few classes to see what teacher / time of day works for you. The amazing thing about Bikram yoga is that its the same sequence every time you come. Very quickly you will get to know the sequence and will not have to think about what comes next. That not only allows you to quickly see changes in your body happen but it allows you to stop thinking about the physical side and start focussing on your breath. The class is always a challenge but can be incredibly relaxing too. There are regular savasanas (dead body pose) throughout the class where you are encouraged to do nothing and let your body 100% relax and re-energise.
Do let me know how you get along!!
Well, I think that's all we've got time for - thank you so much for your time and expertise Olga, and thanks to all of you for your questions!

For those on the left side of the political spectrum, single-payer health care — a system in which the government, rather than private insurers, pays for all health care costs — is one of the most popular policy proposals in America. But the recent Hobby Lobby decision is reminding some liberal technocrats that giving the government full control over health care funding also gives the government control over what medical services will be funded.
As liberal pundit Ezra Klein explains:

A good pilot is always learning. Here's what I learned a few weeks ago: If you don't fly for two weeks, and you don't visit your airplane within that two weeks, you could find this the next time you want to go flying:
Flatter than the proverbial pancake, the tire's sidewall most likely had been compromised, and so the folks at Landmark Aviation removed the tire, installed a spare (a spare tire for airplanes! Who knew?) and a brace for the wing, and prepped a new tire and tube. They had it installed and ready go to within about 90 minutes of my discovery.
On the grand scale of airplane maintenance, this is minor. It went flat at my homedrome, and it didn't blow on a takeoff or landing roll. The repair was quick because Landmark had the tire in stock. I was able to go flying in a couple hours. The winds had picked up by then, which was a minor annoyance, but not a compelling reason to cancel the flight.
But you can bet your next tire change that I will not let two weeks–or even one week–go by without checking on my airplane and giving it a once-over. After all, it's tough enough to get the stars aligned so that your schedule, the weather, and airplane availability work in your favor. Why stack the odds against yourself? —Jill W. Tallman

INDIANAPOLIS - They'll hang a brand new banner in the O'Connell Center soon proclaiming history at the University of Florida.
It will read: "Florida: 2006 NCAA Men's Basketball Champions."
In their first-ever meeting, the Gators dominated early and never let up on their way to a 73-57 victory over UCLA in front of 43,168 at the RCA Dome on Monday night.
"It feels great. It feels wonderful. It feels so good, I can't explain it," said forward Corey Brewer, a member of the all-tournament team who had 11 points, seven rebounds and four assists.
"For all the people who said we wouldn't even make it to the NIT, look now. Does this look like the NIT? We're the national champions."
He waited until 10.2 seconds left to break into a smile, but finally, triumph came for coach Billy Donovan. Donovan, 40, became the second-youngest among active coaches to win a national title. (Bob Knight was 35 when he won his first at Indiana.)
Donovan also becomes the third to play in a Final Fourthen win a title as a coach, joining Knight and former North Carolina coach Dean Smith.
The team with the starting lineup of four sophomores and one junior, the group that began the season without three starters from last season and unranked, finished the season with a school-record 33 wins (with six losses), went 11-0 in neutral site games and 20-0 against non-SEC schools.
The game was billed as the school with the rich tradition vs. the school with ... well ... not very much, at least not in basketball. UCLA had won 11 national titles. The Gators had none. Florida was making its second national title appearance, the other in 2000.
Bruins fans in attendance included Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Reggie Miller and Bill Walton. Florida had last year's star center, David Lee, now with the Knicks, football coach Urban Meyer and Louisville coach Rick Pitino, Donovan's former coach, father-figure and mentor.
"This is what I hoped for, but I never imagined it would be like this," Pitino said at halftime, wearing an orange and blue tie he recently bought in New York especially for the game.
Frankly, who could have?
Florida led 36-25 at halftime then opened the second half with three consecutive 3-pointers (two from Lee Humphrey, one from Brewer) to take a 45-27 lead 3:53 in.
"We wanted to keep the pressure on, and we felt like that really opened things up," Humphrey said.
In a game where defense was supposed to be the focus and UCLA's was considered the star attraction, it was the Gators whose defense dominated.
Florida held UCLA to 36.1 percent shooting and 3-of-17 on 3-pointers. UCLA had just eight field goals in the first half, (29.6 percent), five by point guard Jordan Farmar.
"You have to credit Florida. I thought they were terrific," UCLA coach Ben Howland said. "They did an outstanding job of dealing with our pressure. They only had six turnovers, and that's a very, very important stat because we were trying real hard."
Against the Bruins' vaunted defense, Florida shot 44.4 percent in the first half.
"Everyone talked about defense, but I felt like this game was going to be about offense," Donovan said.
Ironically, UCLA, which was expected to play a slow-down game with the Gators, began pushing the tempo late in the first half because it wasn't able to score in the halfcourt.
"Everyone was talking about their defense. But if you think about it and really look at it on paper, we had the better defense," center Al Horford said. "They have a great defense, but maybe now people will start talking about how good our defense was, too."
Joakim Noah, the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament, had 16 points and nine rebounds and broke the NCAA record for blocks in a tournament with 29. Humphrey had 15 points. Guard Taurean Green had eight assists and one turnover. Green, Humphrey and Noah were selected to the all-tournament team with Farmar.
Sunday, Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said the Gators needed a banner to hang from the rafters at the O'Connell Center to prove it is on its way to becoming one of the powerhouses in basketball.
Get the ceiling cleaned up.

Bell Helicopter Sends 407GXs to China
Source: Bell Helicopter
Bell Helicopter has delivered three Bell 407GX aircraft to two Chinese customers from their Commercial Aircraft Assembly Center located in Mirabel, Quebec, Canada. Chongqing General Aviation Co. received two Bell 407GX aircraft that will be used in China for parapublic missions including firefighting and search and rescue. These aircraft are part a purchase agreement announced earlier this year for a total of four Bell helicopters, including two Bell 412EPIs. The aircraft will be operated by the Fire Protection Bureau.
Hainan Sanya Yalong General Aviation received the first of two Bell 407GXs ordered for low-altitude airspace tourism services in the Hainan province. As the only aviation company approved for tourism services in the Hainan province, they will use the Bell 407GX aircraft for sightseeing, tourism and VIP transport. The company is based out of Sanya in China's Hainan province, a popular tourism and resort island. Hainan Sanya Yalong General Aviation signed the purchase agreement for the two Bell 407GXs at ABACE earlier this year.

Plane lands on Danforth Road
ESCANABA – Practice makes perfect. A pilot who had to make an emergency landing on an Escanaba road Monday night attributes the safe stop to practice landings he performed in training.
Pilot Steve Atkins and passenger Donald Poe, both of Gladstone and both members of the Civil Air Patrol, were forced to land around 8:30 p.m. on Danforth Road after the plane's engine lost power. They were en-route to Escanaba from Houghton where they attended a Civil Air Patrol meeting earlier.
"We lost thrust. The engine just cooled down and we had no power," Atkins explained this morning while securing the scene. He said he tried to make it to the Delta County Airport but knew it wasn't going to happen.
The plane was headed west on Danforth Road when the emergency landing was made.
It came to rest at a red light at the intersection at 30th Street North, Atkins said. From there, the plane was parked in the Bink's Coca-Cola Bottling Company parking lot.
Atkins said when he was taking the plane down on Danforth, there was an eastbound white pickup truck on the road headed his way.
"At the last second, he took the ditch," the pilot said, saying he owes the guy a steak dinner, whoever he is. If the driver hadn't left the roadway, it would have been a different ending, said the retired commercial pilot.
Besides the oncoming traffic, Atkins said the landing went pretty smoothly. When he made the decision to land, he knew Danforth was a well-lit roadway with the least amount of traffic.
"We train for this," Atkins added, saying he had practiced making two emergency landings during training last year.
Poe, the passenger in the plane, said it was scary but he never doubted Atkins' piloting skills to make the emergency landing.
"I've rode with him many times. I have lots of confidence in Steve. I knew there was no way we were going to make the airport," Poe said this morning, adding he was thankful to be on the ground.
Atkins has been flying since 1962 when he was 12 years old, he said. He is the commander of Group 700 Civil Air Patrol which is made up of three squadrons including one from Escanaba. Poe is the deputy commander. Escanaba Public Safety responded to the emergency and the Delta County Sheriff Department assisted at the scene.

Life After the City: Kelly Klein
Former private banker Kelly Klein left the City to start a student-staffed IT support company to help residential and small-business computer users.
Then: private banking, JP Morgan Now: founder of London technology support company Student@Home
"The world is moving increasingly online, but despite that a large percentage of people in the UK still have no access to the internet, while those studying computer sciences can find it tough to get onto the employment ladder after their studies because they do not have the work experience needed.
"Student@Home aims to tackle the digital divide and solve both problems, by employing IT students to provide tech support and training to residential and small-business computer users.
"I have always had an entrepreneurial streak, and at university I set up a couple of ventures, but after my studies I moved into the City, first at AllianceBernstein before moving to JP Morgan's private banking unit in March 2008, where I worked as an associate private banker dealing with UK ultra-high net worth clients until I left last summer.
"While I somewhat fell into private banking, the networking and cold-calling aspects of the work meant it was a job that was made for me. But while I loved the role and learnt skills at JP Morgan that are proving extremely useful now at Student@Home, I missed the freedom and flexibility of having my own business, and longed for an opportunity to put my entrepreneurial ideas into practice.
"Last year, I decided to take the plunge and start Student@Home, which is a socially focused business that employs IT students at university to tackle technology problems at homes and small businesses across London. Small companies that may lack IT know-how benefit from the service, as do those in social housing through our partnerships with housing associations, where many people do not have internet access. At the same time, students gain invaluable work experience on a flexible basis to accommodate their studies.
"We launched with around 30 students on our roster, and that has grown to 60 now, which I hope to nearly triple in the next five years. We can take on pretty much any work, from installing software and hardware to troubleshooting, although we do not repair hardware.
"Private investment has helped cover our capital costs, and we are now close to being self-sufficient financially. I have been working far harder than I ever did in private banking and things have been hectic at times, but the success we have enjoyed so far has made it worthwhile.
"The entrepreneurial lifestyle can be a little lonely at first, until the company has grown to the point where you have other people working around you, but while I miss the teamwork environment, not to mention the regular pay cheques, I do not miss office politics. I am a firm believer that sometimes you just have to take a risk on something, and the way things have gone so far have given me no reason to regret that."

U.S. Women's National Team Journal with Joan Powell
Day 1
The women's team departed from Colorado Springs on the 6 a.m. flight headed for San Francisco. Captain Robyn Ah Mow-Santos, accompanied by her young son Jordan met the team at the airport with individual goodie bags. Jordan had written each player's name on their white lunch bag. Robyn will be joining her teammates in the last round in Chinese Taipei.
Checking in with the abundance of luggage and equipment was quite a site. We all made it through security without at hitch. The United regional jet was not our choice for the almost two and half hour flight, but we survived.
After arriving in San Francisco, the women's team and entourage spread out in the international terminal. Some ate, some shopped and most called home, with a couple women even having a pedicure!
Dr. Lori Boyajian-ONeill met the team for the Nagoya departure. Dr. Lori traveled to Poland and Russia with the team to the Grand Prix last year.
During the boarding process coaches Sue Woodstra and "Jenny" Lang Ping and I were pleasantly surprised as we were upgraded to business class. It was heavenly. Over half way through the flight I switched to Economy Plus so Diane French, our technical coordinator, could give her long legs a break.
After our 10-hour flight, all of the luggage was gathered and then we were off to customs. We were then met by a very friendly Japanese crew who took us to our new beautiful bus. Our interpreter told us that the bus ride to Kobe would be 3-4 hours.
The scenery was of luscious green hills, no billboards and the immaculate highway was lined in ivy. About three hours later we arrived at our destination – Kobe Seishin Oriental Hotel. We were met by a number of gracious hotel staff. Besides our interpreter, we were fortunate to have Gen Kawakita, our technical consultant, with us as he was very helpful with the language and check-in.
Dinner was served buffet style at 7 p.m. The Japanese team was just finishing its dinner as the American team surveyed the variety of delectable foods.
"Jenny," the Doctor and I have a preliminary meeting tomorrow morning after breakfast followed by training.
The team for the first leg of the Grand Prix is an eclectic group – some veterans and some bambiis! With the Olympic roster just around the corner, the coaches are anxious to watch the different combinations as the rosters for the three legs change slightly as we travel from Japan to Poland to Chinese Taipei and hopefully back to Japan for the championships.
The roster for week 1 in Japan is:
Foluke Akinradewo
Cynthia Barboza
Lindsey Berg
Heather Bown
Nicole Davis
Kim Glass
Tayyiba Haneef-Park
Jennifer Joines
Angela McGinnis
Kristin Richards
Danielle Scott-Arruda
Kim Willoughby
The U.S. will compete against Turkey, Kazakstan and Japan.
Day 2
At breakfast, everyone seemed rested. The buffet seemed to satisfy all parties. Jenny, Dr. Lori and I met with the organizers. When all of the administrative items were in order, we were able to leave for training.
Gen Kawakita, technical consultant, was able to make contact with a club for our practice session. The Hisamitsu Springs facility was very good and the hospitality even better. Following practice, the women worked out in the weight room. As we were leaving, the club staff gifted us with little bags, cases of bananas and grapes.
We were back to the hotel for lunch, followed by a little rest and then a video session and then it was time for dinner.
During lunch, I went for a jaunt – jogging down a bicycle/walking path with trees hovering overhead. It was fairly muggy, but it was nice to get out and run off the jet lag. Upon my return I checked out the local mall that is just outside the hotel's back door. I was amazed at the number of pastry shops. Such temptations!
After showering, Dr. Lori and I perused the shopping area. We picked up a power strip. Upon our return, the women were still in their video session so we rested and then joined the women at 7 p.m. for dinner.
The best thing so far? The heated toilet seats and the bidets!!

The head of Electronics Arts, a leading publisher of video games, said that that Sony Computer Entertainment reduced the pricing of the PlayStation 3 video game console just in time.
"Sony's decision to cut the price of the PlayStation 3 is a bold move done precisely at the right time. [It was a] great move," said John Riccitiello, the head of Electronic Arts, reports Associated Press.
The claim is rather bold since Sony PlayStation 3 is not the bestseller. Moreover, the unit is not actually popular even among those, who acquire video game consoles just to watch movies on Blu-ray disc.
Sony Computer Entertainment on Tuesday unveiled the new PlayStation 3 slim version that will eventually succeed the current flavour of the console and will also be sold at lower price-points: $299, €299 or ¥29 999 all around the world.
Sony PlayStation 3 Slim will feature 120GB hard disk drive as well as will utilize 34% less power compared to the currently available. According to claims of Sony Computer Entertainment, the slimmer version of the PlayStation 3 is 32% smaller compared to the original PS3, therefore, it may be more suitable for those, who did not like the relatively large size of the first-generation PlayStation 3. The new PS3 will feature a new Cell processor made using 45nm process technology.
Sony PlayStation 3 Slim will be available in September. In the meantime, Sony will continue to sell its PS3 80GB at discounted price-points of $299, €299 or ¥29 999.

About the Author: Kristina Aronson serves in the Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction & Stabilization.
This week, more than 50 U.S. government officials convened in Washington for the "1207 Coordinators' Workshop on Conflict Prevention and Post-Crisis Stabilization: An Integrated Approach," hosted by the Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization (S/CRS).
The workshop focused on issues of conflict prevention and post-crisis stabilization that S/CRS helps the U.S. government address via a whole-of-government, interagency approach using "Section 1207" funds that the Department of Defense transfers to the State Department under the Fiscal Year 2006 National Defense Authorization Act, as amended. These funds are primarily used to supplement U.S. conflict prevention and stabilization, security, and reconstruction response efforts in regions where violence, state failure, or regional instability could affect U.S. national security interests.
To date, $350 million of 1207 funds have been directed toward 25 projects in 23 at-risk or post-conflict countries, such as Georgia, Lebanon, and Bangladesh, among others. Today, conflict and instability watch lists identify over 40 countries at risk of conflict within the next two years and report that nearly half of recovering countries fall back into conflict within a few years. The scope of the instability problem underlines the pressing need for the U.S. to engage in conflict prevention activities around the world in order to establish long term stability and security.
In addition to the 25 workshop participants who flew in from overseas U.S. embassies that carry out stability projects using 1207 funding, all three "Ds" -- diplomacy, development and defense -- were represented at the conference by officials from the Department of State, USAID, and the Department of Defense.
Opening remarks for the first day of the workshop were given by Ambassador John Herbst, Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization at the Department of State; Neil Levine, Director of USAID's Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation; and Michael Coulter, Principal Deputy Director for Joint Staff Strategic Plans and Policy at the Department of Defense. Ensuing panels over the two day conference discussed Congressional perspectives on conflict prevention, implementing the whole-of-government approach in Washington and in the field, and lessons learned over the past several years of developing and implementing 1207 projects. Additionally, members of the Civilian Response Corps presented their expertise and equipment and provided key insight into why the Corps is an important aspect of the U.S. government's civilian response in at-risk and post-conflict environments.
The event closed with a dialogue about the upcoming Complex Crisis Fund (CCF) and Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR), and a review of how the scope and range of the 1207 projects have expanded over the last couple of years to help meet the complex challenges of at-risk and post-conflict countries.
O.C. in U.S.A. writes:
Regarding domestic security, the idea of having a volunteer civilian corps in exchange for Congress platinium health insurance would create an entire civilian army at the ready in the event of the next major emergency crisis. If Louisiana had 20-30,000 civilian corps with an additional 20-30,000 from Mississsippi, Tennessee or Texas laying boom, building sand berm, throwing down hay bales, the outcome to our current crisis might have been better. Homeland Security does not have enough personnel or even the command structure to be helpful in these catastrophes. Using qualified civilian professionals who are pre-trained at a moment's notice makes sense and increases the numbers to support military led functions in a disaster such as medical triage, supply distribution, water systems, childcare etc. The governments biggest asset is the American people. Why aren't they being organized into helpful units who can get the job done? Many Americans would willingly spend a weekend in training serving their country for a few perks like healthcare, home loans, subsidised student loans.

Still trying to educate Louisiana communities on the importance of taking part in our great country's effort to embark on the path of global citizenship. Opening one's heart and mind to other cultures and reaching out to others for understanding and respect are the main pillars for peace and for a better future for all of us. All I can say at this time is that I will not give up or get discouraged. My mission is to enroll as many people as possible in Exchanges connect to experience the joy of global citizenship.
Please let me know if I can get help and advice on organizing a forum to energize everyone to become engaged in our State Department's outstanding efforts to empower our people with the uniqueness and beauty of many cultures in the world. It is about time the world learns what makes our nation and its people great. Knowledge is power. Hatred, misunderstanding, and prejudice are rooted in ignorance. Those who perpetuate hatred benefit greatly from this ignorance and work hard to prevent the light of truth from shining. It is up to everyone in every community in the US and around the world to join hands and become engaged in making our world a better place. We might be of different color, ethnic origin, religious beliefs. we might have traditions and unique cultural features that are totally different, but we share one uniting feature: We are human beings that can transform the world to be a better place for many generations to come. Governments cannot do it alone. It takes a village. . . It will take all of us to foster change.

O.C. in U.S.A. writes:
The civilian emergency corps is a good idea but drawing from existing Federal ranks seems limited as these people would be needed to stay in their existing capacity in the event of a major emergency. By using qualified civilian professionals, the government would be able to draw from an even bigger, specially trained pool of candidates. Using a surrounding state "buddy approach" as initial first responders would quicken the pace of "on scene" personnel. Like increasing, circular waves of reponders from the target area until the entire nation, if need be, is responding. Assessment teams, although important, waste critical hours. Disaster relief should occur in highly organized, strategic and succesive waves. For example, through experience we already know that massive teams of response personnel,concrete cutters, heavy equipment, emergency medical supplies, litters and large triage systems are needed as well as comfort care, identification and temporary housing. If specialized units were pre-trained and at the ready a lot of the disruption and running around clueless would be mitigated. Civilian teams could be organized with military precision and thousands of civilians could be stationed and in place within an hour or so of a major disaster because first responders are coming in from local areas to be backed up by ever widening circles of farther areas.
The current systems in place don't seem to adequately address the profound nature of emergencies. For example, the Gulf oil spill, should have had massive numbers of people at the ready, cutting off estuary entrances, building berms, laying down hay bales and filtering estuary water to protect wildlife, patrolling beaches and setting up wildlife emergency stations. Washing one brown pelican at a time isn't much of a rescue operation but having a massive number of pre-trained civilian volunteers with 2,000-5,000 kiddie pool washing stations might limit complete wildlife destruction. Disaster preparedness should mean exactly what the word implies having the resources, capability, supplies in a highly trained and nearly instantly deployable work force. A country like the Grand Ole USA should have had these systems in place. We are usually good at response times to emergencies but lately the catastrophic nature of recent emergencies has not been addressed. The government needs to put in place people who can anticipate needs and prepare for them.
Donald M. in Virginia writes:
I think we all realize that Gaza is like a prison for the Palestine people. Simple solution get them out safe. The only reason why the Arabs will NOT accept them on their terroritory is because the Hamas group does the dirty work for them. They would like to see Isreal destroyed. All the headaches in the world, yet a simple solution to move the Palestine people out safe to a new location. The billions of aid money spent on people that live in a prison. This is ridicious. Countries National Security depends on people living without tensions, without wars, without people living in a prison setting. It's time our State Department makes a bold move to help get those people out safe and sound to a new land, where and when they can use the aid and start a new life for the Palestine People. Had they been moved to Greenland like I said in earlier blog the ships from Turkey could of arrived safe, without the security forces of Isreal. Think about it. Lives count on making the right moves, not the carless moves.

Thomson Reuters, a distinguished research firm, has put a 52-week price target of $3.79 on SL Green Realty Corporation (NYSE:SLG) shares after it questioned top market analysts. Calculating projected earnings after factoring different elements, it is predicted to be $0.00 for the next fiscal and $N/A for in progress quarter.
Valuation Estimates
Analysts consider the price to earnings ratio to assess the firm's valuation. This ratio, also known as the P/E ratio appraises the firm on relative expense factor. The method to estimate ratio is stock's price/ per share earnings. SL Green Realty Corporation (NYSE:SLG)P/E ratio stands at 26.14.
In essence, the price-earnings ratio specifies the dollar amount a stockholder can expect to spend in a company in order to obtain one dollar of that firm's earnings. It is why the P/E ratio is sometimes stated as the multiple because it displays how much investors are ready to pay per dollar of profits. If a company were now trading at a multiple of 20, the reading is that an investor is ready to pay $20 for $1 of present earnings.
Analysts work out Price/Earnings Growth ratio to assess the valuation of a firm. This ratio, commonly called as the PEG ratio hint at the stock's valuation paralleled to earnings growth prospect. Investors want to invest in the stocks boasting a lower PEG ratio. For SL Green Realty Corporation Com, the PEG ratio for next 3-5 years is 2.84.
Technical Analysis
The technical study highlights that SL Green Realty Corporation Com current is trading $-6.58 points away or -5.65% from 50-day moving average of $116.49. It is trading $4.95 or +4.71% away 200-day moving average of $104.96.
The 52-week high of SL Green Realty Corporation (NYSE:SLG) was $121.94 while lowest point in 52-week was $80.12. It shows if stock price records a movement of over $-12.03, it will touch 52-week high. Conversely, in the case of +37.18% drop, it will hit a new 52-week low.

Biology/Natural History: Often the most abundant barnacle in the upper half of the intertidal zone (can reach densities of up to 70,000 per square meter), and the most nearly ubiquitous barnacle species on the Pacific coast. It can obtain oxygen both from the air and underwater. Barnacles are hermaphrodites which fertilize one another internally by means of a long penis. The eggs are brooded by the parent, and released as nauplius larvae. Up to 6 broods of 1000-30,000 young may be produced per year from this species. After 5 molts the larva becomes a nonfeeding cypris with 6 pairs of legs. The cypris attaches itself to a substrate by an antennal gland and metamorphoses into the adult form. Cyprids avoid rocks which Nucella lamellosa, an important predator, has recently crawled across, and also rocks with the red alga Petrocelis middendorffii. Adult size is reached in 2 years and lifespan is about 10 years, Barnacle molts are frequently seen debris in marine habitats. Predators include oysterdrill snails such as Nucella lamellosa, the ribbed limpet Lottia digitalis (bulldozes and feeds on juveniles; barnacles 6.7 mm diameter have a refuge in size), seastars such as Pisaster ochraceous, Pycnopodia helianthoides, Evasterias troschelii, and Leptasterias hexactis, goldeneye ducks, gulls, and even the nemertean worm Emplectonema gracile and the barnacle nudibranch Onchidoris bilamellata. Juvenile rockfish feed on the larvae swimming through kelp beds. Competitors include Semibalanus cariosus and the mussels Mytilus trossulus and M. californiensis, to the shells of which it often attaches. In many areas of the upper intertidal juveniles of this species compete with Chthamalus dalli juveniles by pushing them off the rock. Chthamalus is usually common only in the zone above where Balanus glandula thrives. Less common in estuaries. While it has no eyes, this species is sensitive to light and will rapidly withdraw if a shadow passes over it.
Balanus glandula has recently become established in Japan and in Argentina. In Japan it is directly competing with B. albicostatus.

Three Delaware day care employees have been accused of encouraging toddlers to fight each other while the children were under their care.
CBS Philly reported that Tiana Harris, 19, Lisa Parker, 47, and Estefania Myers, 21, employees of the Hands of Our Future Daycare in Dover, were arrested after a cellphone video emerged of them allegedly encouraging two 3-year-olds to fight in an organized battle.
Police said in the video one child is heard yelling, "He's pinching me!" A day care worker allegedly responded, "No pinching, only punching."

"Batten the hatches limeys. Post response ahoy!"
I have read it in a article on legal and health issues concerning rental property in Germany regarding mold growth on walls, and how to prevent mold growth.
I have seen houses and apartments with heavy mold growth on walls in Europe. Some of them came through leaks in walls and windows, others simply from rooms not having been aired enough. If mold grows on walls, it can also quite easily grow on tea. As we have read about on numerous occasions, such as right now from solitude.
It is entirely up to anyone to ignore pumidor experiences such of the one of solitude here - i personally would not want to go through this.
*Solitude stored their tea in a separate building. This is not the norm.
Here are the first two links i found when briefly googling "mold and poison":
* What are you trying to prove with these links. I read them both and still do not understand. Are you simply trying to emphasize the danger of certain molds?
Or that too high humidity is a bad thing?
http://home.howstuffworks.com/home-impr ... c-mold.htm
Basically - with the use of pumidors we are dealing with too many unknown factors since pumidors are a rather recent invention to artificially increase the aging process of Pu Erh by trying to copy climates of geographic locations in which Pu Erh has aged well naturally. Yet we have no scientific data, or long term empirical evidence of the effects such pumidors have on tea.
We have though numerous examples of how the use of pumidors went wrong, which at least shows us that it is a very risky undertaking.
*There are risks in all endeavors. Mitigating those risks is another matter. If one in these climates is to keep a sizable amount of pu for some time, they have not option.
Some climates in the US, for example, are definitely less than ideal to age Pu Erh. What i would suggest is that some of you may get together, and find a storage place in a better suited, more humid and hot climate in the US - such as Florida, share the expenses, and store your tea there together. Or that somebody who lives in such a location may rent out storage space for Pu Erh lovers who live in not so well suited locations.
* If I could, I would send it to Hong Kong to age.
I have heard that in Malaysia there are storehouses in which Pu Erh aficionados can rent space to store their tea long term. Would that not be something that you can do in the US?
*I think there are not enough people to make this practical. Who is going to check-in on cakes? Rotate them? A shame, but it is unlikely to happen. If I could, I would send them to Veracruz. I seems a climate good for cigars is a climate good for pu.
*There are about 100 bings in my basement in a plastic tub. This will be the second year they have been stored at about 72% humidity. Once we get a nice rainy day, I am going to give them an "airing out." Then I will let you know how much mold they have.
*The first link you provided gives the following advice:
*"If you have mold in your home, your nose is one of the most inexpensive devises you can use to detect it." Your point about mold growing on walls is a bit flawed. The reason for the pumidor is the lack of humidity. Many rooms/ basements in the winter have the opposite problem. Usually there is some sort of home heating system that dries out the basement. It is a whole other issue if one has a leaky basement. I highly doubt you will find many TC'ers willingly storing their tea in moldy basements!
One of the guilty pleasures I have found of having this storage system is enjoying the incredible smell. Our local museum curator of Chinese art came over for tea last month. Her aunt runs a tea warehouse in Hong Kong. Just as she poked her nose in the pumidor and took a whiff, she exclaimed, "This smells just like my aunts warehouse!" Now hopefully her aunt did not have a warehouse full of moldy tea. My guess is she does not!
