Resolve To Keep Your Resolve
Jan. 1, when so many of us traditionally make all sorts of well-intentioned resolutions, is a quickly fading memory. If you set some new personal goals, let's hope your resolve is extra strong, because studies have shown nearly 90 percent of us fail to achieve the resolutions we set for ourselves on New Year's Day, even though more than half of us are certain we will achieve those goals when we set them. It looks like it's time we put more thought into exactly how we're going to go about hitting our targets.
It appears that the people who are most successful have learned to limit the number of resolutions they make, often working on only one thing at a time. Then they set small, realistic, measurable goals and they track their progress. Keeping track of your progress can be very motivational.
If you looked at many U.S. polls of New Year's resolutions this year you probably noticed losing weight was at the top of most of them. This isn't surprising, since we're in the midst of a startling obesity epidemic in this country. Yet, despite all the time, money and energy focused on dieting in this country, most people here have still not been able to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. So, is there a magic bullet?
According to the Harvard School of Public Health, it really doesn't matter how you take in or expend calories. If you want to lose weight, you simply need to eat less and exercise more. However, if you or your loved ones, like so many of us, have tried to follow a diet plan, perhaps one of the highly publicized diets like Weight Watchers, Adkins, South Beach, Ornish, the Zone or Sugar Busters, you know how hard it is to stick with the plan. Even if you lose a lot of weight initially, if you don't make your new eating pattern a permanent long-term lifestyle change, you'll go back to your regular eating pattern and all the lost weight will flood back on, often with a little more packed on for good measure. So what is the answer?
Not to sound like a broken record, but you simply have to eat less and move more.
You don't need to vilify specific foods or food groups. Not all fat is bad and carbs do have their place in a healthy eating plan. Eat what you like, as long as it's healthy food.
If you feel you must follow a diet plan to be successful, just pick a plan full of foods you enjoy. If you the word diet makes you groan, then you need to stop focusing on dieting and simply start eating.
Examining exactly what it is that you've been eating and drinking can help. Keep a log for a week or two. Write down every single thing you put into your mouth. It's harder to keep an accurate log than you might think because so many of us graze mindlessly. We just don't pay attention to what we're ingesting half of the time. Be aware of what you're eating. Don't leave anything out. There are free and easy to use tools that can help you calculate exactly how many calories you're consuming. Try out the U.S. Department of Agriculture's MyPyramid Tracker. You can even track your exercise on the same site.
Once you sit back and look at everything you've been eating and drinking you may well be shocked. That's OK. We all need a reality check now and then. Once you get a handle on what you've been putting in your body, you can make some decisions.
Set some realistic goals. You're likely to achieve more success if you set small measurable goals. For instance, if you suffer from a serious sweet tooth, rather than saying you'll try to cut back on sweets, which is hard to quantify, you could start by saying you'll limit yourself to no more than one ounce or one bite or one serving of dessert every day. Once you successfully cut back to that amount, if you're trying to wean yourself from sweets totally, you could modify your goal to eating a sweet only once every other day. Then you might cut back to once a week before you attempt to totally eliminate sweets from your meal plans. And perhaps it's completely unrealistic to think you'll ever completely stop eating sweets. That's OK too. Just set a realistic limit for yourself and make sure you develop a plan that won't leave you feeling so deprived that you end up tossing the whole thing out the window and going on a binge.
Whatever plan you choose, just make sure it's full of things you like to eat. Then eat what you like. Just eat less of it.
When you review the foods you eat on a regular basis it's also helpful to ask yourself if perhaps there aren't other, more healthful and nourishing foods you might like just as much or even better. If so, add them to your meal planning. Are there things you're eating or drinking simply from habit without really enjoying them? Do you keep a bag of chips next to the couch or a box of cookies in the car just because they're handy to grab? Think about that. And think about ways to replace those high calorie foods with lower calorie and healthier foods that you'll enjoy just as much if not more. Or simply portion out the higher calorie foods so you're not eating as much of them.
There are lots of ways to cut calories from your day. Avoid highly processed foods and fried foods. Replace high calorie beverages like soda pop and fancy coffee drinks with lower calorie drinks, like water or seltzer. Add more vegetables, fruits and whole grains to your plate. They'll keep you feeling fuller longer.
Think of eating for what its real purpose should be: to fuel your body. Take emotion out of the picture. Avoid rewarding yourself, or anyone else, with food. Then eat only enough to feel satisfied. Know when to say when. Put down your fork. There's no need to be a member of the clean plate club. Be mindful of what you're putting in your mouth. Take the time to enjoy your food. Stop munching in front of the TV or while driving your car. Make mealtime special. Take the time to select great tasting food and then savor it. Before you know it you'll be able to put something else at the top of your 2014 New Year's Resolutions.

Let us check it out....http://www.millarswoodovens.com/
First thing I do whenever somebody asks about an oven is look at the pizzas on their website. I would like to think anybody trying to sell me a pizza oven would know enough about pizza to only advertise with the best possible pizzas their oven can produce. More times then not this doesn't seem to be the case.
It's such a pretty oven, it's a shame they didn't build it with good pizza in mind- by adding thermal mass to the ceiling, lowering the ceiling and adding width/subtracting depth.
A lower ceiling will allow you to cook pizzas at higher temperatures easier by allowing the oven to evenly cook the top and bottom in short bake times. I already touched on the width. The fire will have to be at the back. That can make it tough to turn the pie at the right time leading to an uneven bake.
No I can't cook more than one pizza at a time easily, no it is not a 44" oven, no I can't sleep in the enclosure at night. I can good great pizza after great pizza at 850 + degrees, I can bake a few loaves of bread (I am not a bakery and would not need to more than one batch of bread at a time).
... At first I was concerned it wasn't "round" because I've read some threads on here that claim a round chamber is the only way to go vs. barrel shape.
I disagree with the harsh assessment of the F3. I own one, use it all the time and am delighted with it. I seriously researched at least 20 different non-masonry, portable wood fired ovens and after a lot of conversations with a couple of company representatives and considerable thought, decided to purchase the Millars F3. It performs extremely well. It's quick to fire up to proper temperature and coal characteristics and holds its heat well ... even in the dead of the (Western Pennsylvania) winter. I'm sure there are lots of good ovens out there. But this is one of them, I can personally attest to that.
Sure, Chicago Bob ... here's one. Look any good to you?? My pizzas are usually a little rounder than this, but you get the idea.

Letters to the editor:
As a family physician in California, where I provide comprehensive reproductive health care, including contraception counseling, pregnancy termination, prenatal care and delivery, I am troubled by claims that the purpose of Texas' anti-abortion law is "to protect the health and safety of Texas women" ("Court reinstates most of Texas' new abortion restrictions").
Abortion is far safer than childbirth. In the context of outpatient procedures, having an abortion carries no more risk than having a colonoscopy.
Moreover, we in the medical community know that hospital admitting privileges, as required by the recently upheld Texas law, are not related to patient safety. I and my physician colleagues across the country continually seek out and welcome measures that improve patient safety, but absurd laws such as this one only hurt women and families by decreasing access to essential reproductive health care services.
Sarah McNeil; Berkeley, Calif.
Abortion rights advocates have deemed Texas' abortion restrictions a threat to the health of women.
These zealots are exhibiting their lack of knowledge on sound medical practice. Women receiving abortions are much safer if their doctor has a hospital as backup in case things don't go as planned. This is a reasonable requirement and shows the wisdom of the federal appeals court in restoring that part of the law.

5 Crafty Entrepreneurs Jolly With Etsy Success
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Etsians. It's a term for those who use Etsy, the online marketplace for handmade and creative goods.
The seven-year-old company is still a growing cult. More than 800,000 creatively inclined entrepreneurs now use the site to reach more than 20 million registered users globally. For sale is unique accessories, clothing, even furniture.
Many who sell on Etsy aren't looking to grow into large-scale companies or develop the newest patented technology. Instead, these entrepreneurs, mainly women with multiple sources of income, want an inexpensive storefront for their handmade, artisanal goods.
>>>Before Selling on Etsy, Learn to Craft on Craftsy
Before it was launched, artist and founder Rob Kalin was looking for a place to sell his own creative projects. He tried eBay (EBAY) , but didn't think his art was a fit there. He realized there wasn't an online place available for others like him and in just three months, he partnered with two engineers to create, design and write the code for Etsy.
"There was no business plan, no grand strategy," says Matt Stinchcomb, Etsy's vice president of values and impact (a fancy way of saying customer-service relations). "Just a need for something like it." Stinchcomb was Kalin's roommate at the time and Etsy's first employee.
Sales on the website this year were up to $700 million as of early November, up more than 30% for all of 2011, according to the company. On Cyber Monday, more Etsy sellers had sales than on any other day in company history, with a third of the total sales coming from first-time buyers.
"With the current momentum, in 2013 we will begin measuring sales by the Etsy community in billions and sellers in the millions," the 400-employee company says.
While Etsy may be a growing destination to find the perfect hand-painted jewelry box, the company is striving to be more than just another Amazon (AMZN) .
Besides being a marketplace where small crafters can sell their items to customers around the world, the company offers a growing amount of support and education, such as SEO best practices, product photography and accounting.
The site charges 20 cents to list each item for four months. Additionally, each time a product sells, Etsy collects a 3.5% commission whether the price of the item is $4 or $400. Etsy does have other ancillary revenue sources, such as an advertising program for sellers to promote their products. It also plans to launch a wholesale platform in the first quarter of 2013, where sellers will be able to connect with boutique owners to broaden the exposure of their goods.

In addition to various gun control measures, President Obama wants to fund school safety and mental health initiatives in response to the Sandy Hook massacre, reports Ed Week.
A new, $150 million Comprehensive School Safety Program would fund 1,000 additional school resource officers (guards), psychologists, social workers and counselors. Another $30 million would help school districts develop emergency plans.
Obama wants $50 million to help 8,000 schools "put in place new strategies to improve school climate and discipline, such as consistent rules and rewards for good behavior," reports Ed Week.
The mental health package would improve young people's access to mental health services. Also:
$15 million to help teachers and other adults who work with youth provide "Mental Health First Aid," enabling them to identify students with mental health problems early and steer them toward treatment;
$40 million to help districts work with law enforcement and other local agencies to coordinate services for students who demonstrate need;
$25 million to finance new, state-based strategies to identify individuals ages 16 to 25 with mental health and substance abuse issues and get them the care they need.
$25 million to help schools offer mental health services aimed at combating trauma, anxiety, and bolstering conflict resolution; and,
$50 million in new money to train social workers, counselors, psychologists and other mental health professionals.
Before Newtown, Obama proposed eliminating grants designated for school counselors and nearly $300 million aimed at school safety, notes Ed Week. Now the administration is back to creating little pots of federal money for specific uses.
My daughter interned with the California Education Department's office on preventing school violence two years after the Columbine massacre. She created a web site showing grants districts could seek to fund various anti-violence programs. When that was done, she was asked to help districts evaluate the various programs by posting links to research on their effectiveness. There was no such research. Perhaps we're wiser now on what works for troubled kids.
Obama's proposals — "well-intentioned and largely symbolic" — could undermine instruction by wasting time, energy and money preparing for a exceptionally unlikely event, writes Rick Hess.
The president's proposed "mental health first aid" training grant works out to $150 per school.
. . . it's likely educators will get a few hours of desultory training, which will be just enough to waste their time without making a difference. Or, if they actually get the training and support they need to do this well (with the $150 per school!), it'll distract from training in their core work of preparing instruction, crafting assessments, monitoring student learning, and so forth.
An array of federal grants create "extra paperwork, meetings, and opportunities for small-dollar consultants," writes Hess.

Hi Bellas,
I'm back with another makeover! This post features an Indian Bridal look. It's the final look that I did for my Bridal Makeup Seminar, finally right! Hope you enjoy!
Here is a before shot of the model:
Here I am with my lovely model after the seminar. As you can see, she only has foundation done on one side of her face, lol. That's about where we got to in the seminar and I finished the rest at the booth.
Here's a close up shot of her face - the done side, after the seminar. We used all Graftobian Products: HD Primer, Corrector Palette, Warm Super Cream Palette, GlamAire Airbrush Foundies and HD Pro Powders. The result is a smooth, airbrushed look with contour and highlight.
Here's a before and after with the complete Indian Bridal Transformation.
Side video - notice the extreme blush contour and winged eye...classic details of Indian Bridal Makeup.
Front view - I didn't have any lipliners so I used a brown kohl eyeliner on the lips - it worked out!
Eyes closed - I used luster creams and loose shadows in gold and copper and some red from the FantasEyes palette.
Hope you enjoyed! Now that the NY Makeup Show posts are done, back to regular programming lol.

About the Author: Ambassador Eric Goosby serves as the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, leading all U.S. Government international HIV/AIDS efforts.World AIDS Day is always an occasion to reflect on the lives that have been lost, but also on the progress we have made and continue to make each day, through the hard work of many dedicated people:
• Through our partnerships with more than 30 countries, as of September 30, 2009, PEPFAR directly supported life-saving antiretroviral treatment for over 2.4 million men, women and children. This represents more than half of the estimated four million individuals in low and middle-income countries on treatment.
• Through September 30, 2009, PEPFAR partnerships have directly supported care for nearly 11 million people affected by HIV/AIDS, including 3.6 million orphans and vulnerable children.
• In addition, in fiscal year 2009, PEPFAR directly supported prevention of mother-to-child transmission programs that allowed nearly 100,000 babies of HIV-positive mothers to be born HIV-free, adding to the nearly 240,000 babies born without HIV due to direct PEPFAR support during FYs 2004-2008.
These numbers are nothing short of remarkable. The achievements PEPFAR and our partners have made are paving a path towards an HIV-free future.
PEPFAR also launched our new Five-Year Strategy on World AIDS Day 2009. This document outlines the high-level direction of the program for its next phase as part of the President's Global Health Initiative. It reflects lessons learned in the first five years of the program, expands existing commitments around service delivery, and places a heightened emphasis on sustainability. In addition to outlining the program's overarching goals, the Five-Year Strategy announces new targets for the program around prevention, care and support, treatment, and sustainability.
I was pleased to share our strategy with the public yesterday; in the coming days, PEPFAR will release Annexes, which will supplement the strategy by explaining how PEPFAR will transition from an emergency response to a sustainable one in particular areas.
As we chart the course to sustainability, countries around the world are taking steps to increase their ownership of the fight. On World AIDS Day, South African President Jacob Zuma demonstrated bold leadership in calling on his fellow citizens to lead the fight against HIV/AIDS. He noted: "It is the time to act decisively, and to act together. Our message is simple. We have to stop the spread of HIV." You can read President Zuma's full World AIDS Day speech online here.
This is bold language, and it was accompanied by bold new commitments. This represents a major step forward for the South African Government (SAG), one that the global community is rightly applauding. With its large population of people living with HIV, South Africa is key to solving the global crisis. We're encouraged by the Government's action to craft a program to meet its people's needs in a sustainable way, and we'll continue to partner with them as they chart this new course.
To support South Africa's leadership, U.S. Ambassador to South Africa Donald Gips announced that, pending Congressional notification, the U.S. Government (USG) plans to invest $120 million in one-time bridge funding from PEPFAR over two years to support the SAG in implementing a new plan to meet its country's need for antiretroviral treatment. This support comes on top of the planned $560 million the United States will allocate to South Africa in fiscal year 2010 to support South Africa's fight against AIDS. This funding will support the SAG's effort to help many more South Africans gain access to antiretroviral treatment, and move the world closer to victory in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
South Africa's efforts in the global AIDS fight are encouraging, and I am pleased to support President Zuma and the people of South Africa as South Africa's partner in this fight. I look forward to continuing to partner with South Africa, and other countries around the world, as they work to turn the tide against HIV/AIDS.

Where there's a Political Will...
Global AIDS Conference in Durban was marred by official denial of HIV/AIDS as a medical condition. Failure of political will leads to denial of disease; and ergo the refusal to provide resources. The new SAG (a bad acronym if ever I saw one)...has a lot of catching up to do. Maybe they should start with the name: SAGA...South African Government AIDS,,,,,,,

I-40 Trail Crossing at the Rio Grande
Project Description
The scope of the project is to construct a bikeway/trail bridge in the I-40 corridor over the Rio Grande and re-pave the Paseo del Bosque trail from the bridge to Alameda Road. The I-40 trail crossing will increase the accessibility and mobility options available to people, while protecting the environment, promoting energy conservation and encouraging activities that can contribute to good health.
The construction of a crossing at the Rio Grande would provide a relevant missing link to the existing trail system. Albuquerque continues to improve its bicycling infrastructure which currently includes over 650 miles of bike lanes, signed bike routes and multi-use trails. The implementation of this project adjacent to the Interstate 40 corridor will connect 98th street on the west to Tramway Boulevard on the east and also provide connectivity to the north/south 14 mile Paseo del Bosque Trail.

The scent is definitely not one of my favorites. It is good for the price but just not what I really like. You can wear it on any occasion but it is definitely not a scent for younger people in my opinion. I did not know whether to choose a spicier scent or a tobacco scent like the survey had required. I chose spicy over tobacco. It does have a touch of both though. The scent is just okay.

Topic: Find :conditions must be explicit?
Creating a new instance of an ActiveRecord object (potential record) seems pretty straightforward:
@bird = Bird.new(params[:bird])
where all of the parameters in a form are represented by the symbol :bird , which I'll assume is a sort of "representation" for a hash of those parameters. (Stop me when I start sounding like an idiot.)
Can this also be used to do a find? To wit:
@bird = Bird.find(params[:bird])
Intention here is to find any matching records from any number of fields (logical AND) but effectively ignoring any blank fields.
I guess I'm trying to get a handle on the generalities before I get more specific.
Many thanks,

Fairmont puts together 'wish list'
FAIRMONT – A wish list for the city of Fairmont was created Wednesday night in an informal work session with elected officials and staff.
In August, the City Council will review a preliminary budget for 2014 and a vote will be held in September, but on Wednesday, finances were put on the back burner and dreaming was encouraged.
"Tonight it's anything you want," instructed city administrator Mike Humpal.
Feasibility will come into play when Humpal takes the list back to city department heads to talk about the associated costs of the proposed improvements and potential funding sources.
State aid to the city will be bumped up just $18,000 for 2014, and the state is limiting levy increases to 3 percent, so the council won't have much money for its wish list.
Humpal encouraged the council not to think too much about those things though on Wednesday, which is why some of the items on the wish list are more realistic than others.
Improvements the council listed in its brainstorming session included:
o Parking lots. Throughout Downtown Plaza, the lots are in rough shape, with cracks and potholes. The city can assess adjoining property owners for repairs to those lots.
The gravel parking area at Gomsrud Park also was mentioned, but the group agreed the dirt lot by the prairie dog exhibit would be higher on the list of surfaces needing to be paved since the lot has been shut down for days to weeks at a time when it gets too muddy to use.
o New council chairs, and camera and audio system used to record council meetings at City Hall.
o Technology, like providing wireless Internet throughout Fairmont, upgrading the city's website, and creating a mobile app for city news.
o Park updates and expansions.
The new Winnebago Sports Complex isn't quite complete yet, as the council pointed out Wednesday. Signage and more is still needed at the site, and potentially playground equipment.
At the soccer complex, the council would also like to see playground equipment and sidewalks or trails to make it easier for people to walk across the grass to the fields.
The aquatic park also got attention, since the city would like to better promote the venue, as well as improve staffing and hours. The council talked about adding a putt-putt golf course near the site too, and maybe a dog park.
o Trail expansions near Knollwood Drive and Lakeside Cemetery.
o A landmark to represent Fairmont. One example given was a lighthouse. The idea would be to pull people off Interstate 90 to see the landmark.
o A movie theater.
"I'd hate to get into the theater business, but it would be nice to have one," said Mayor Randy Quiring.
The council members agreed they frequently hear complaints that a city Fairmont's size doesn't have a theater, though they weren't sure what role the city should take in providing one.
Humpal noted that the city of St. Peter recently lost more than $100,000 it put into its theater when the venue closed.
o Equipment to clear trails of snow in the winter, and a second leaf vacuum to help with cleaning up leaves in the fall.
o Airport upgrades, from cosmetic – paint – to security improvements.
The public will have an opportunity to present its input on potential improvements in Fairmont at the City Council meetings. The preliminary budget will be presented at the Aug. 26 meeting, and the council will vote on the budget Sept. 9.
The council meets at 5:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Monday of each month at City Hall.

Topic: Suggestions for Photo Gallery
I'd like to make a photo gallery formatted as follows:
There's a single large 'frame' in which the image changes as the cursor is moved over thumbnails. I've seen JavaScript used for this effect - but the scripts get really bloated as the # of images grow. I've also seen the CSS :hover pseudo class used to sort of achieve this.
But in CSS, when the cursor moves off the thumbnail, the frame image goes blank.
This probably doesn't fit into the Rails domain...but anyone know of alternatives for getting this 'look and feel'?

This is probably the fastest moving year of my life or so it seems. November has arrived and that means the Holidays are upon us. Every month I feel like I say the same thing, but really, how did this happen? We kick off each month with a birthday gift guide and though November and December birthdays may get lost in the holiday mix, we haven't forgotten about you November birthday babies.
The birthstone for November is the gorgeous citrine stone, which holds a medium deep yellow hue. Fall yellows are one of my favorite fashion statements, as the color works well with blacks and browns and burgundy alike. I rounded up the best Citrine Handbags for our November birthday girls. Happy birthday!

Toledo games were fixed, FBI says
Football player recruited point shavers; Macomb bettor is target but denies role
March 31, 2007
BY DAVID ASHENFELTER and GEORGE SIPPLE
To win sports bets, a Macomb County gambler wined and dined University of Toledo athletes at Detroit restaurants, took them gambling at Greektown Casino and gave them cash, groceries and cell phones, federal agents say.
All the athletes had to do was play in a way that helped the gambler beat the bookies' point spread.
A criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Detroit said Toledo running back Harvey (Scooter) McDougle Jr., 22, recruited football and basketball players to participate in the scheme, which was spearheaded by a Sterling Heights gambler identified as "Gary."
Gary Manni, reached by phone Friday at King Cole Foods, a grocery store in Detroit, acknowledged that he's the Gary in the complaint but denied bribing McDougle or anyone else to shave points.
Manni said he's a professional gambler but added, "I didn't bribe nobody," then hung up the phone.
His lawyer, Neil Fink of Birmingham, declined to comment.
Manni has not been charged in the case and said the FBI hasn't contacted him.
The complaint, made public Friday, says Gary, McDougle and others bribed Toledo athletes to influence the final scores of specific games so Gary and the others could place winning bets with illegal sports bookmakers.
There was no indication in the complaint that players purposely lost any games, but that they controlled the final scores to enable Gary to win his bets against the point spreads.
One player was offered $10,000 to sit out a football game, the complaint said. McDougle told the FBI that he received a car, telephone and other things of value from Gary, but insisted that he never changed the way he played to affect the outcome of games, the complaint said.
One of the games McDougle allegedly helped fix was the 2005 GMAC Bowl against the University of Texas-El Paso, which Toledo won, 45-13, the complaint said. McDougle allegedly asked Gary to bet $2,000 for him on the game. McDougle didn't play because he was recovering from major knee surgery.
FBI agents arrested him Friday morning and brought him to Detroit. McDougle, dressed in a gray heavy cotton Rockets sweatshirt and pants, then appeared in court alone before Magistrate Judge Virginia Morgan.
She advised him of the charges, set a preliminary examination for April 20 and released him on a $10,000 unsecured bond.
Morgan warned McDougle that anything he said about the case -- including to FBI agents -- could be used against him. Deputy Federal Defender James Gerometta, his temporary court-appointed lawyer, declined to comment.
He's suspended from team
McDougle is charged with conspiring to bribe to affect the outcome of a sporting event, which carries a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine upon conviction.
No other players were identified in the complaint, so it's unclear how many players or other Toledo teams were involved, or whether teams from other schools are being investigated.
A university spokesman told reporters on the Toledo campus Friday that McDougle, a senior, has been suspended from the team.
"We will evaluate the allegations in the complaint and will fully comply with federal authorities in their investigation," said Tobin J. Klinger, senior director of university communications.
Former teammates were shocked by the news.
"That does not sound like the Scooter I know," said Ted Rath of Monroe, a senior linebacker on last year's team.
"If you're part of the University of Toledo football team, you're not a person who would accept money like that," Rath added. "You have to be a type of young man that has morals and is not going to go that route."
He also said point shaving goes against everything that Rockets coach Tom Amstutz preaches. "He runs a clean program," Rath said. "He preaches daily about becoming better football players and better men."
Assistant U.S. Attorney David Morris, who handles organized crime investigations, wouldn't comment on the case.
What FBI says about scheme
The scheme is believed to have begun in fall 2003, according to an affidavit written by FBI Agent Brian Max.
It said the FBI intercepted calls to and from Gary's home from November 2005 to December 2006 in hopes of finding out the extent of his illegal gambling and sports bribery operations and who was involved. During one intercepted call, agents learned that Gary and others were bribing Toledo players, Max said in the affidavit.
The complaint shows Gary met the players through an associate's Toledo cell phone store, where university athletes shopped. Gary eventually was introduced to a Rockets football player, who introduced Gary to other athletes.
On Dec. 2, 2005, FBI agents spotted Gary with McDougle and other Toledo players at a Detroit restaurant before they headed to the VIP area of the Greektown Casino, Max said.
After evaluating the players, Gary would ask them to participate in a point-shaving scheme in exchange for cash and gifts, the affidavit said. He asked players he could trust to recruit other athletes for the scheme, Max said.
Players who agreed to participate were told about the betting line -- the point spread for a particular game -- the affidavit said.
"Once Gary and the players knew the line, they would decide if they could beat the spread," the complaint said. "If they were picked as an underdog by 10 points, they would decide if they could beat the 10-point spread. If they were picked as a favorite by a certain number of points, the players would decide if they would most likely win by that much.
"Once Gary consulted the players, he would decide how he wanted them to play the game to affect the outcome," the affidavit said.
On Nov. 5, 2005, the FBI intercepted a call in which Gary told someone who was then a Toledo basketball player that McDougle "had taken care of" certain players on the football team who would be helping Gary to influence that day's game, the affidavit stated.
The next month, the FBI intercepted another call in which McDougle told Gary that he would contact other football players to see whether he and Gary would make some money on the GMAC Bowl against Texas-El Paso, Max said.
In another call that month, McDougle asked Gary to place a $2,000 bet for him on the game, Max wrote. During the call, Gary allegedly told McDougle that another player would be helping out.
During an interview with the FBI on Dec. 14, 2005, McDougle admitted knowing Gary and that Gary regularly gambled on Toledo football and basketball games, the agent said.
McDougle told the FBI that another Toledo football player had introduced him to Gary. McDougle said he provided Gary with information about Toledo games so Gary could bet on them, Max said in the affidavit.
McDougle said he also was aware that Gary had offered other teammates up to $10,000 to sit out games.
McDougle admitted introducing Gary to other players so Gary could recruit them for the scheme, the affidavit said.
A problem in college athletics
The scandal is nothing new in college athletics. On Thursday, a former Arizona State student pleaded guilty in Phoenix to federal charges that he conspired to bribe two Arizona State basketball players to miss shots so that he and three other gamblers could beat the projected point spreads on four games in 1994. He faces the same penalty as McDougle.
The allegations came as no surprise to Justin Wolfers, a University of Pennsylvania economist, who published a research paper last year that concluded point shaving was a factor in about 500 of the 40,000 NCAA basketball games played from 1989 to 2006.
He said it usually occurs with strongly favored teams whose players, though unwilling to throw a game, might be willing to accept bribes to limit the number of points they score to help gamblers win on the point spread.
He said the spread could be controlled by one or two players on a basketball team and by the quarterback, running backs or coach on a football team.
"If you're a 12-point favorite and someone says, just win by 10 points, it's a win-win for both the corrupt athlete and the gambler," Wolfers said. "The player isn't giving up anything he cares about, which is winning the game."

I met Agnes & Herron for the very first time on their wedding day. I knew from our very first phone call that she would be one of my sweetest brides to date and from the time I stepped into the salon that day, I was right. She is a beautiful bride, inside and out and Herron was just as charming as she'd described. Early on in the day, I knew it would be an amazing wedding and it was. Agnes is an artist and incorporated so many personal touches throughout the day which made it very special. I was happy that Agnes & Herron opted for a "first look" which allowed us to do most of their portraits prior to the ceremony and take advantage of the daylight. Their candlelight ceremony was followed by great food and dancing at their reception. It was beautiful and I loved every minute of the day!

Unlike anything I had ever read before, GAME OF THRONES, is an epic medieval fantasy novel set in the land of Seven Kingdoms. George R.R. Martin builds this world in such vivid detail, while keeping the action moving along at a steady pace.
At first, I was very confused with the different Houses, and the ranking characters within each. Thanks to Wikipedia, I kept the color-coded list of characters ready to glance at with each chapter. After a few hours, and Roy Dotrice's superhuman ability to give each one of this huge cast of characters their own voice, I felt I knew the characters as well as if I were watching them on the screen.
There was a lot of action in this book, in both love and war, and neither for the faint of heart. While the battle scenes could be bloody, so were the acts of love. There is one scene in particular which turned my stomach a bit. Still, I admired the characters' motivations, and Martin's unflinching courage to write such a scene.
I spent 34 hours of my life over the course of 5 weeks listening to GAME OF THRONES, yet I can boil this review down to a few words:
Happy endings need not apply.
It's just plain cool.
Now that I have gotten through the original, I really want to see the TV show! Will I read the next book? I'm not sure. These are not quick reads. Entertaining as hell, but not quick. If I had a week on a beach or in a ski lodge, definitely.

About the Author:
George R.R. Martin sold his first story in 1971 and has been writing professionally since then. He spent ten years in Hollywood as a writer-producer, working on The Twilight Zone, Beauty and the Beast, and various feature films and television pilots that were never made. In the mid '90s he returned to prose, his first love, and began work on his epic fantasy series, A Song of Ice and Fire. He has been in the Seven Kingdoms ever since. Whenever he's allowed to leave, he returns to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he lives with the lovely Parris, and two cats named Augustus and Caligula, who think they run the place.

FFF Cullowhee next week
We're off to the FFF shindig in Cullowhee next weekend. It looks like Marvin Cash and Co. with the NC FFF have put together an great get together. Were going to be there. I believe I had one seminar to give on old timer fly fishermen and fly patterns of the Smokies. It is my understanding too that the official news of the new fly fishing museum in Cherokee will be announced there.
Southern Trout Magazine is officially one year old this Saturday, having been birthed at TroutFest last year in Townsend. Its still a bit early to say if the baby will make it, but were betting on it. To date we have broken 32,000 visits, 21,000 unique visitors, over 500,000 page views, and the average time spent on the site is over seven minutes per visit. These are not bad numbers, at least so I am told by people who understand such things far better than I do (I know how to catch trout ).
Considering that we have only promoted this publication via going to shows and speaking at FFF/TU meetings, we are pleased with where we are. We have scheduled some email blasts for later this month and are excited as to how this will work. So far it is all we can do to keep up with making this thing go, but it is a labor of love. Any who, if you make the FFF thingie in NC, please stop by to say hello. I have a sorta, kinda decent cigar to give those who partake of this disgusting habit.
I plan to be there Friday as a spectator/autograph hound, but may not get to stay for the barbeque that evening. The Fly Fishing Federation has teamed up with the Little River Chapter of Trout Unlimited to host the "Back the Brookie BBQ." All profits from this event will support brook trout restoration in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Immediately following the BBQ, they will be showing the Fly Fishing Film Tour in the Ramsey Center, Western Carolina University. Please come and help Mike Bryant and Dave Ezell support this event.
Set your sights on the fun and your navi on 1 University Way, Cullowhee, NC.
Thanks for the reminder, I am already registered and paid for Saturday (only $5), and even signed up for one of the free seminars. I fish that area of NC quite a bit and there are plenty of easy drop ins for those who want to go to the event and piggyback a quick fishing trip (be sure and get your NC non resident license if from out of state, it's only $10 for 10 days if I remember correctly.) Looking forward to the day!

Slow but fun
The FFF deal in western NC was nice. The turn out was not stellar, but the Ramsey Centers at the college is a first class venue. I think they are having it there again next year. I was pleased to see Dave Ezell, Mike Bryant, Steve Moore and couple others from our neck of the woods there. Ian and Charity Rutter, Jim Casada and STM were on the main street isle of the show within rubber shooting distance of each other. I had dinner with Jim Friday night, and Ian, Charity and children Satuday night. I suppose it was a sort of a moonshiner makers reunion. I think about half of the contributors to STM were there; Jimmy Jacobs, Bob Borgwait, Bill Bernhart, Ron Gaddy, and Matt Green. I darn near ran out of cigars, but I picked up a couple smokes too---so thankie!!
It appears fishing on the other side of the mountain is like on the TN; overly blessed with water--up 10-inches for year right now. "Water water every where, but not a slow pool to drift...."
The average of we there seeming to getting older. At 60 years old, I was probably a tad on the younger side, which is a little disturbing. I think fly fishing in the South is well represented by a lot of young guns. However, I also believe that young guns are a bit like us oldsters in "the day..." Like us when we were 20-30 years old, we were fishing in May, not going to some ****ed fishing show. Sooner or later though, they will slow and make the show...
Thanks for fhe good report, Don. Mrs. Maps fell and I decided I should stick around. She has been my nurse on my falls. I'm anxious to hear from Mike about the fundraiser.

JoeFred, I looked for you Saturday but they did not use name tags unless you were a flytyer or exhibitor I believe, so looks like by your reply above you did not get a chance to attend. I got there about 10:30 AM and had a great day. I had on my LRO Brook Trout Restoration shirt so quite a few asked me about there being no Troutfest this year and how were Paula and Byron. I ran into Mike and he said the Friday night BBcue did well. The Tennessee Smokies folks were well represented by Ian & Charity Rutter's informative seminar as well as a GSNP booth manned by Steve Moore. Jim Casada had his booth and as always giving great insight into the park to everyone who stopped by. Don Kirk was at his booth and honored his promise of a cigar to anyone who stopped by (Don, I smoked mine on the Clinch Sunday afternoon after the storm passed). He only made you promise to tell anyone that asked how much younger he looks in person. So here is my testomonial "He is very lifelike in person"! I had signed up for the 1:30 pm free "Fish Ed Heeg's favorite fishing spots", I promptly showed up at 1:20 and found out I was the group probably due to the rain! Ed showed up saw it was just me and said what do you want to do? I said you tell me and he than asked where I had fished over in NC, after I told him my laundry list of rivers and streams I had done, he said what about the Nantahala? I said no, he said let's go, I followed him 39 miles from Western Carolina, about 10-15 miles past the NOC and we dropped in for two hours of guide led fly fishing schooling that would have taken me years to learn on my on maybe. All I can say was when some of these people say I took 40 to hand that day, I now see how the experts do it. Ed took in to 10-15, a mix of brook, and bows in under two hours while dragging a knucklehead upstream ( that would be me not a Byron LRO fly!). Ed had to leave and I spent two more hours fishing the Nantahala, the amazing part was it cost nothing, it was a free seminar, it just goes to show you never know when it's gonna be a Forest Gump it's your box of chocolates day!
It was a long day but a great one and I sugggest if you get the chance go to an event near you and sign up for any free advice someone's willing to give and share it with the next person. Thanks to all I talked to there and especially a big thank you to Ed Heeg and a great expierence on a beautiful piece of water!
"It starts with a raindrop, don't let it end with a teardrop!"
"Nothing straightens out my mind like a twisting mountain stream!"
Age ...
I spent Friday at the event. My first time at anything like this related to fishing. I needed a days rest after three days fishing earlier in the week
I was there Friday evening and Saturday mid-day. I also was a little disappointed at the turnout. I thought a rainy Saturday would cause the attendance to go up.
Not to be a complainer....but danged the music was loud at the Film Tour. I had to leave at intermission because of it. My ears are still ringing.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
The family Araneidae (orbweavers) includes more than 3000 described species; nearly 7% of all known spider species are araneids (Platnick 2013). In North America north of Mexico, there are around 161 known araneid species placed in 31 genera. Of the seven families of spiders that spin flat orb webs, the Araneidae has the most species. Many araneids are fairly large and colorful and the family includes a number of familiar spiders. Most araneids have roundish bodies and fairly short, relatively thick legs. In some species, there is strong sexual size dimorphism, with males much smaller than females. (Bradley 2013) Like most spiders, araneids have eight eyes.
Many araneid species have distinctive dark patches and light spots on the underside of the abdomen. These are especially conspicuous when viewed with a flashlight or headlamp at night. For example, the larger Araneus species and all Neoscona have a large rectangular black area with white or yellowish spots or comma-shaped marks at each corner. Argiope have a black patch with many small pale spots. Other genera, such as Aculepeira and Metepeira, have a black patch with white lines. These markings are often helpful in recognizing genera, but are rarely sufficient to identify particular species. (Bradley 2013)
Orbweavers have relatively poor vision and sense their prey by their vibrations. When a potential food item hits a web, the spider rushes over and quickly wraps it in a cocoon of silk, biting and paralyzing it once it is sufficiently immobilized. The wrapped prey may be cut out of the web and brought back to the web hub or to a retreat, where the spider begins feeding. Unlike many spiders, araneids chew their food (Levi 2005). Sometimes a wrapped prey item is kept for some time before being consumed. Although most araneids build vertical orb webs, Mecynogea build a fine-meshed horizontal web and a few species spin reduced webs or capture prey in other ways (e.g., Mastophora bolas spiders, which attract male moths with scent and catch them by swinging a thread with an attached sticky ball at them as they approach). Nocturnal orbweavers may take down their webs in the morning and eat them, then re-build them in the evening; diurnal orbweavers rebuild their webs in the morning. (Levi 2005; Bradley 2013)
Most larger araneids in North America mature in summer and fall, but others mature in spring. Typical life span is one to two years. Dew-covered webs are easily located by walking toward the sun in the morning. Araneids are collected by beating branches or sweeping vegetation with a net. The American araneid fauna has been revised and illustrated by H.W. Levi and his students (1968 to present) and Dondale et al. (2003) have illustrated additional species. (Levi 2005)
The araneid Araneus cavaticus is perhaps the most famous spider in literature (at least in the English language), since this species was the model for Charlotte in Charlotte's Web by the 20th century American author E.B. White.
(Levi 2005; Bradley 2013)

I have two suggestions for forums:
1. Philosphy Forum
guess there has been no philosophy cafes at 4rest for a while? we could have meaningful banter thru this cyberland. unanswered questions include: was there empty time before this time? can there be one infinity greater than another? what is the ultimate nature of reality?
2. Remote Foresters
for foresters abroad or out of town to report on their adventures, let people know where and how they are going or to organise "outside" 4rest events.

Rated 2 out of 5�by Seabass Not very good The problem with this product is the handles. They are not round but have 3 somewhat square sides with the bottom being hollow. Therefore, you cannot really grip them by wrapping your fingers around because doing so is not at all comfortable. March 27, 2016

Rated 2 out of 5�by elip not great I bought these thinking they would last but they did not. I am a 190 lb male who uses these twice a week but they only lasted 8 months before there was cracking in the handles. I'd send them to North Carolina to have the manufacturer fix them but I'd have to pay for shipping and they'd just break again. I'll buy something better to replace them. June 18, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5�by Mildybuffdude Useful, but extremely cheap plastic construction I decided to get the perfect pushups for purely one reason. Years ago I fractured my wrist pretty badly, and all though it healed well, i could no longer do my normal routine of pushups, the most i could do was 20 until my wrist would give out due to the L shaped angle of normal pushups (the same angle i had fraxtured my wrist). Due to how the perfect pushup allows my wrist to mount for a pushup, I can do as many pushups as I am truly capable of, with only very slight irritation in my wrist due to the obvious strain. All in all, i like the perfect pushup bc of how it angles my wrist, but if it wasnt for the injury, these things were not worth the $20. They are made extremely cheaply. They are all plastic except for the screws and i would assume the ball bearings. The handles are not made of strong, thick plastic like you see in the industrial world to support heavy loads, but cheap plastic that is only a few milimeters thick, and slight reinforcement plastic. Honestly, i thought it was going to snap and break when i put the pop snaps into the base during assembly like i have seen thicker plastic snaps do during other item assemblies. They tend to flex and i am worried they will still break, the good news is they at least support my "mildly buff" weight of 150lbs. These things do get the job done, but i do not expect them to last long due to twisting and weight stress. Had they been made of even cheap steel, they would be quality, but I am extremely disappointed. When they break, I plan on just making my own with steel handles. April 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by jaks650 Terrific machine! The Perfect Pushup is just that. Perfect. Not only does it hit the triceps, which a typical push-up would do. It also hits the muscles in the chest, part of the back and the shoulders. Also, with the construction of the device itself. It's pretty solid and nicely made. I'd gladly recommend it.

Semiconductor manufacturing using 300mm wafers will see production nearly double from 2010 to 2015 as chip producers increasingly employ them for older, more mature products, according to the IHS iSuppli.
By 2015, foundries and integrated device manufacturers (IDM) will produce 8753 million square inches of silicon on 300mm wafers, up from 4799.4 million in 2010, equivalent to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.8% during the five-year period. This year alone, IDMs will produce some 5608.5 million square inches of silicon on 300mm wafers.
"Initially, 300mm wafers were employed only for the most advanced products. However, that's been changing over the course of the past two years, with both foundries and IDMs having determined that 300mm wafers represent the most cost-effective manufacturing method for mature products. As a result, IHS forecasts a new period of rapid growth for 300mm wafers," said Len Jelinek, research director and analyst for semiconductor manufacturing at IHS.
For semiconductor makers using mature technologies, high-volume 300mm wafer manufacturing is the key to success. But as this ramps up, the prospect of moving to the next level the 450mm wafer - now is being raised, following discussions during the past few years among key suppliers about a potential transition.
From a wafer manufacturer's perspective, the transition to 450mm represents the most logical approach to achieve the cost reductions necessary to stay on track with Moore's Law, which stipulates that the number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit doubles every two years, according to IHS iSuppli.
Nonetheless, major questions remain regarding the benefits and costs of adopting the next-generation wafer size. For instance, it's still unknown if semiconductor manufacturers, tool suppliers and silicon suppliers can profit from 450mm wafers - all signs point otherwise. Yet this does not mean that some of the leading companies won't undertake the transition, which IHS anticipates will begin in 2015 regardless of the economics involved. Already, several industry leaders, including Intel Corp. and, based on unofficial information, TSMC, are building facilities in preparation for alpha tool installation.

Dentsply's Digital Solutions Solve Laboratory Challenges
Posted Apr 28, 2011 in Digital Dentistry
From digitizing denture prescriptions to offering economical CAD/CAM outsourcing services, two laboratories detail how Dentsply Prosthetics is helping them get ahead.
"You'd be surprised at how many denture prescriptions we get with just the patient's last name and the shade—there's no gender, no preferences, nothing," says Jerry Kaizer, co-owner of Murray Kaizer, Inc., a 30-employee removable laboratory in Farmington, Connecticut. "I can't tell you how many times I have to get on the phone to fill in missing information." Sound familiar?
Kaizer has found a solution to this headache: Dentsply's TruRx Digital Denture Prescription. Similar to how consumers can "try on" new hairstyles via computer imaging, this new software allows the dentist to take a digital photograph of the patient and generate a detailed prescription that includes a likeness of the patient's post-therapy image.
Here's how it works: The system includes two calibration tools that must be used when taking the patient's photo: an Index square and Cosmetix™ mouthpiece. Both are made of soft, biocompatible gray foam. The gray color enables the program to adjust the patient's image so skin tones and tooth shades are color-balanced. The Index square is placed on the patient's forehead and guides the measurement calculations. The mouthpiece tells the software where the likeness of the patient's new smile should be positioned.
When both calibration tools are properly placed, a digital photograph is taken and imported into the program, which uses key facial contours to calculate central tooth width and length. Once a shade system has been selected, TruRx recommends the appropriate IPN® anterior maxillary and mandibular denture teeth molds. The program also offers selections for anterior arrangement, posterior denture teeth, occlusal schemes and denture base materials (Lucitone 199® and/or Eclipse®) and generates a prescription which is then e-mailed to the laboratory.
Because the system guides the dentist through the key denture considerations—including measurements, shades and mold selections—the TruRx-generated prescription is clearer and more complete than the typical handwritten ones Kaizer receives. "There are certain required fields the doctor must complete, and he can't advance to the next step until he does," he says. "This is a much more complete way of doing things and saves us lots of time." Also, since the patient participates in the selection process and can see an approximation of the final outcome, he has a greater understanding of the proposed treatment plan, which helps to eliminate anxiety, enhance patient buy-in and increase satisfaction with the end result.
"TruRx has helped strengthen our relationships with our dentist-accounts. Most of the users are younger and really tech savvy so they find it easier than manually writing out a prescription," says Kaizer. "Our older clients who aren't as computer comfortable find the process to be more labor intensive, but overall they see the value of the digital imaging and format."
The dentist is the only one who needs the TruRx software but both the dentist and the lab can purchase it from a Dentsply authorized dealer for $99 (suggested retail). Currently, Dentsply offers a buy-one-get-one-free promotion for TruRx as well as a buy-one-get-one-free IPN shade guide offer.
Another Solution: Compartis® USA SmartSourcing
Two years ago, Charles Mecca, CDT, MDT, MDP, owner of Associate Dental Corp. in Olyphant, Pennsylvania, wasn't completely satisfied with the two CAD scanners he had bought in order to outsource milled zirconia restorations. The first system, while profitable for single units, wasn't large enough to scan bridges. The second unit produced restorations that weren't cost effective; in Mecca's rural area of the country, he couldn't sell the restorations at the price he needed to be profitable.
So when Dentsply began offering CAD/CAM services via Compartis USA—the company's centralized milling center—the timing was just right and Mecca invested in the Cercon CAD scanning system. "The prices of their services allowed us to be cost competitive with both singles and bridges," says Mecca. "I still use one of my other scanners for more complex cases, but only about once a month. My Cercon scanner is our everyday CAD scanner." Since it began offering Cercon restorations, the laboratory has seen a 70% increase in the number of zirconia restorations it fabricates.
Dentsply also made the transition a seamless one for the laboratory. The Dentsply technical representative simply came in, set up all of the equipment and—since the staff was already experienced with scanning and designing—had the lab up and running after just one hour of training. "They made it very easy for us and allowed us to hit the ground running," says Mecca, noting that his rep also comes to the lab to install software updates.
The company has provided valuable marketing support by sponsoring a CE-approved Cercon program for the laboratory's clients on the applications of zirconia--providing the speaker and all marketing materials at no charge. "This was one of our most successful programs to date and, with 40 dentists in the room, it was one of our best-attended courses ever," says Mecca, who only had to pay for the cost of the room rental.
Mecca also likes the fact that the menu of Compartis restorations keeps expanding. For instance, in February, Dentsply announced the availability of Compartis ISUS Bars and Bridges, CAD-designed and CAM-milled implant suprastructures that eliminate the need for waxing, casting, seating, finishing and stocking implant abutments in-house. The laboratory plans to hold a seminar on Compartis ISUS to generate client interest.
Our Leading through Partnership series, featuring profiles of laboratory-manufacturer partnerships, is brought to you in recognition of and with appreciation for Dentsply's support since LMT's inception in September, 1984.

Brad Silberling heard the terrible news from a police detective the morning of July 18, 1989. His 21-year-old girlfriend, actress Rebecca Schaeffer (TV's "My Sister Sam") had been shot dead by a stalker in the foyer of her Sweetzer Avenue apartment building.
On many a Yom Kippur since, Silberling -- the director of "Casper" and "City of Angels" -- has lit a yarzeit candle in her memory. This Yom Kippur, he'll also remember Schaeffer in a more public way with the premiere of his intimate drama, "Moonlight Mile" -- inspired by the relationship forged with her parents after he moved into their Oregon home for the funeral and shiva.
At the beginning of the film, as in real life, Silberling's alter ego, Joe (Jake Gyllenhaal) places a spadeful of earth on his murdered fiancée's casket. He dutifully stands beside her parents (Dustin Hoffman and Susan Sarandon) as the cantor chants the "El Malei Rachamim" memorial prayer. But when another woman unexpectedly enters his life soon after, he's torn between following his heart and fulfilling his role as the bereaved son-in-law-to-be.
The movie, Silberling's quick to say, is based on emotional, rather than literal truth. He was Schaeffer's boyfriend, not her fiancé, though they'd just started talking about the possibility of marriage. He didn't even attempt to go out on a date for two years after her death. In fact, it took him five years to muster the emotional distance he required to begin writing "Moonlight Mile."
"I wanted to explore this very strange journey that I'd never seen on film," the 39-year-old director said of the movie. "Like, how you go through every possible emotion in the aftermath of a death. For example, I'd be sitting with Rebecca's parents, and we'd just be roaring with laughter, dishing on people who were mouthing [platitudes]. There would be this bizarre, completely inappropriate humor at moments you'd never expect."
Gyllenhaal, who spent hours quizzing Silberling about his experience, said he was drawn to the movie's quirky-funny approach. "Brad taught me that what we consider strictly a sad time is actually filled with everything: humor, oddities, idiosyncrasies," said Gyllenhaal, whose mother, Naomi, is Jewish. "The movie isn't a high drama about mourning, like 'In the Bedroom.' It's more about the subtleties of everyday life after a tragedy."
On a recent afternoon, boyish, affable Silberling -- who grew up attending Temple Beth Hillel in Valley Village -- is wearing faded jeans in his office, not far from Schaeffer's old apartment. He recounts how he was 23 when he met her on a blind date in 1987 at the nerve-wracking premiere of his UCLA graduate student film. He knew he liked her when, sensing his anxiety, the dark-haired actress patted his knee and told him everything was going to be fine. "We just sort of fell into each others' lives," said Silberling, who said he was surprised to learn that Schaeffer had once aspired to become a rabbi.
The morning she was murdered, Silberling found a loving message she'd left on his answering machine. It was the last time he heard her voice. Within a few hours, he was sequestered in a room at Cedars-Sinai, waiting for her parents to identify the body. Although he'd only met them just a few times, he bonded with them during endevors such as cleaning out Rebecca's apartment, while tabloid reporters slapped $50 bills on the windows.
The director discovered that Schaeffer's father, Benson, a child psychologist, had interrupted his lucrative practice for a time to study Yiddish theater. Her mother, Danna, a wickedly honest, salty-tongued writer, told Silberling "Of course, I'd like you to remain celibate for the rest of your life, but we can negotiate that." (Sarandon said that line in the film.)
The three became inseparable when Silberling moved into Rebecca's old room for several weeks after the funeral. "I needed to be there partly because when all three of us were together, Rebecca was present," he said. "And I remember thinking, 'It's wild, but we're kind of this weird new family, and I can see never leaving. But at the same time, I was aware of the people tugging at my sleeve saying, 'You know, you're it for them now. You are Rebecca for them, because she was an only child. So any time you can hang with her parents would be really good.'"
Silberling said he brought those conflicting sentiments to the character of Joe as well as "the swirl of emotions over, 'How do you dare connect with another [woman]?'"
In real life, the Schaeffers were supportive when Silberling finally began dating again around 1991. They attended his 1995 marriage to actress Amy Brenneman (TV's "Judging Amy"), where the bride andgroom read a tribute to Rebecca. (The couple now have a 1-year-old daughter, Charlotte.)
The Schaeffers were the first people Silberling allowed to read a draft of "Moonlight Mile." "I was nervous, but they liked it," said the director, who recently traveled to Oregon to show them the completed film. The screening, he said, was an emotional high. "I think they feel proud of the journey they've taken, and so do I."

The Saturday Dispatch editorial "Downtown is big draw for housing," which complimented Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman for his success in bringing housing back Downtown generously underscored his achievement.
Both he and the City Council cooperated with developers to make the work smooth for developers. They now face another housing problem.
When Market Mohawk and Capital South were announced, officials spoke about bringing safe, sanitary and affordable housing for the displaced residents. The new Downtown housing is safe and sanitary, but service workers and students cannot afford it. Among them are employees at Nationwide Children's Hospital and 25,000-plus students at Columbus State Community College and Franklin University.
The new challenge is to house those who can afford only rentals of $300 to $500 per month.
Many now travel 30 to 45 minutes to their destination.
It can be done, but it will require energy and direction from Coleman and City Council.

Today, I had the pleasure of joining Secretary Kerry as he kicked off the Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF) Fourth Ministerial Plenary.
We launched the Forum in 2011 with 28 other member countries and the EU. With the terrorist threat spreading to new regions -- as we tragically saw this week in Kenya -- we needed a nimble, multilateral forum to bring together Western donors, front-line states, and emerging powers -- one that emphasizes results over rhetoric to advance a long-term, strategic counterterrorism approach. The goal was to establish an apolitical, technical body, where counterterrorism policymakers and practitioners from different national departments and agencies could come together to set priorities, mobilize resources, and do the essential work of assisting partners to build capacity and counter violent extremism.
In two short years, the GCTF has had an impact and has become the "go-to" international venue for civilian-led counterterrorism cooperation.
Continuing this momentum, I'm excited about this morning's announcement of several new GCTF initiatives aimed at addressing some critical counterterrorism challenges of the 21st century. Secretary Kerry announced that work will begin to establish a new and particularly exciting GCTF initiative, the Global Fund on Community Engagement and Resilience. The first-ever public-private global fund to support grass-roots efforts to counter violent extremism (CVE), the Global Fund's mission is as clear as it is compelling: to leverage public and private funding to support local, community-driven CVE efforts.
Just the other day, a colleague noted that the proposed Global Fund, if designed and funded properly, would take counterterrorism to a new and different level -- not up, but down…down to the communities that are most at-risk and most able to do something effective about it, giving them ownership of the problem and recognizing their role as part of the solution. Research and experience has shown that CVE efforts are most likely to succeed and endure when owned and implemented by local civil society or local government partners.
What might the Fund look like? We're talking about grants that provide life skills and vocational training to youth at risk of recruitment and radicalization. We're talking about delivering new school curricula that teaches tolerance, problem-solving, and civic activism. We're talking about training local leaders, religious figures, social workers, and women in community engagement techniques; and creating websites and social networks to educate youth about the dangers of violent extremist ideologies.
We've already seen firsthand the impact that global funds have made on today's major global challenges, such as the fight against AIDs, malaria, and tuberculosis. I believe now's the right time to adapt this proven model and bring together a community of stakeholders – from governments, the private sector, NGOs, and civil society leaders -- to identify and finance local projects that'll address radicalization in a strategic way.
With its diverse membership, emphasis on results, and focus on mobilizing expertise and resources globally to develop innovative CVE solutions, the GCTF provides the ideal platform to launch the Fund. I'm excited about the GCTF's new initiative, and the positive impact this Global Fund, once established, will have on countering the terrorist threat.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 17, 2010) – The U.S. Women's National Red Team defeated its Blue Team counterpart 26-24, 25-22, 25-23, 24-26 in a four-set Red-Blue intrasquad scrimmage on Saturday in Irvine, Calif., at Irvine Valley College.
The match, predetermined to go at least four sets, filled the stands with approximately 700 attendees.
The Red Team high scorer was Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah) with 28 points on 23 kills out of 49 attempts and five blocks for the Red Team. Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) also tallied double digits with 19 points, 16 kills out of 45 attempts along with three blocks. Lauren Paolini (Ann Arbor, Mich.) contributed 14 points with nine kills out of 15 attempts, four blocks and an ace. Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.) had seven points, Akinradewo scored six points. Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) and Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa) each had four points apiece and Nellie Spicer (Barrington, Ill.) added two points.
The highest scorers for the Blue Team were Ogonna Nnamani (Bloomington, Ill.) and Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.) each contributing 14 points to their team win. Nnamani tallied 13 kills out of 28 attempts and also scored an ace. Barboza scored 13 kills out of 40 attempts and one block. Nicole Fawcett (Zanesfield, Ohio) added 10 kills out of 29 attempts. Christa Harmotto (Hopewell, Pa.) added nine points. Jennifer Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.) and Angie Pressey Forsett (Lake Mary, Fla.) each contributed eight points, apiece and Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) added one point.
Red Team starters were outside hitters Hodge and Tom, Metcalf at opposite, Bown and Paolini at middle blocker, and Spicer at setter. Stacy Sykora (Burleson, Texas) served as the libero. Hooker started the third and fourth sets in place of Metcalf, while Akinradewo started the third and fourth sets in place of Bown.
Starting for the Blue Team were middle blockers Harmotto and Tamas, outside hitters Barboza and Pressey Forsett, Nnamani at opposite and Glass at setter. The Blue Team libero was Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.). Fawcett started the third and fourth sets for Nnamani, while Courtney Thompson (Kent, Wash.) started the final two sets for Glass.
The Red Team out-scored the Blue Team 85-65. The Red Team also out-blocked them 14-6 and won the kill ratio 67-57. The Red also held a slim 4-2 advantage in aces.
The scrimmage's purpose was to help determine the select players whom will compete in each of the three preliminary weekends hosted in Gdynia, Poland, along with the Final Round of the upcoming FIVB World Grand Prix. Team USA will face Dominican Republic on Aug. 6, Germany on Aug. 7 and Poland on Aug. 8 during the first weekend of the preliminary round matches. For the second preliminary round, the U.S. will travel to Bangkok and Thailand to face Italy on Aug. 13, Thailand on Aug. 14 and Puerto Rico on Aug. 15. The Women's National Team will conclude the preliminary round in Hong Kong where they will play Germany again on Aug. 20 and Thailand on Aug. 21, along with a match-up verses China on Aug. 22.
The FIVB World Grand Prix Final Round will take place Aug. 25-29 at Ningbo, China. The top five of the six teams in the preliminary rounds will join host China in the Final Round.
The second exhibition is scheduled for St. Margaret's Episcopal School (31641 LaNovia Avenue, San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) on July 24 at 7 p.m. PT. Tickets are $5 at the door.
