Expert advice for setting and achieving financial goals
You�ve graduated and are now on your own. Pivotal moments in life such as graduation from high school or college are a great time to set financial goals and take action to accomplish them. Here are some tips to get you off to a good start: Organize your financial records. Set up a system for filing checks, tax returns, debts and other financial documents. Develop a budget and stick to it. If you can do this, you�ll avoid many financial troubles. Compare your net income (what you earn, after taxes) to your expenses (including food, shelter, clothing, entertainment and savings). Generally, housing, food and auto expenses should consume no more than 65 percent of your net income. Limit spending. �The biggest financial mistake I see is a consumptive lifestyle�simply spending more than you can afford,� says financial expert Ron Blue, author of "Master Your Money." Avoid debt. Pay off debts, including student loans, as soon as possible, and then remain debt-free. Financial expert Dave Ramsey recommends a �debt snowball� approach: paying off small debts first, then reallocating payments to existing loans until the payments become large enough to consume all debts. Delay buying a car. If you must buy a car, choose a good used one. Have a trusty mechanic check the vehicle before you purchase it. Save. Set aside a percentage of each paycheck to save for future needs or desires�a car, further education and vacations, for example. And it�s never too early to begin saving for retirement. Participate in your employer�s 401(k) retirement plan. You�ll get immediate tax savings on your contributions. Plus, many employers match employee contributions, and earnings grow tax-deferred. In addition, experts suggest you set aside enough money to cover three to six months of living expenses, in case of a loss of income. Get insured. Car, medical, and homeowner�s or renter�s insurance are musts. Check with friends or relatives for references on reliable companies and review policies annually to get the best rates and coverage. Give. Allocate money from each paycheck to your local church or various charities. Giving benefits others, but also helps you keep financial matters in perspective.

Is Houjicha truly lower caffeine than other teas? I've seen this several places, including one thread here, but I haven't seen this substantiated except in a single study with a single brand of Houjicha. And if so, do we know how much lower?
Also, I'm looking at Den's organic Houjicha. Any experiences here with it? Are there other organic Houjichas anyone would recommend?
My wife wants to stick to organic while pregnant...

We Did It
After representing Team USA in Table Tennis at the 1984 Paralympic Games in Stoke Mandeville England both Pam Fontaine and I retired from table tennis, graduated from college and went our separate ways. I lost contact with Pam for about 20 years. She went about her life in Texas as I did the same in Connecticut. Now that our sons, Pam has two and I have one, are over the age of 18 the demands of parenthood are not as taxing which led us back to our passion for table tennis.
Unbeknownst to me, Pam had started playing table tennis once again about 2 years before I did. I had been back in the sport of table tennis for about 6 months before I found out that Pam was also playing competitively again. After Pam and I reconnected it was like our relationship in college as friends and on the table tennis table was never interrupted.
I had not seen Pam in about 20 years before we met back up again in December of 2008 at the U.S. Nationals in Las Vegas. It was awesome to see Pam again and get back on a table tennis table with her. It was Pam who introduced me to table tennis in 1983 at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio where we both attended college. Before meeting Pam in college I never thought I would be an athlete again after a diving accident left me paralyzed from the chest down in 1979. Having been a successful able bodied athlete and with Pam's encouragement I decided to give table tennis a try. I would not have been a Paralympian in 1984 if it had not been for Pam and her relentless ways.
After meeting back up with Pam in December of 2008 at the U.S. Nationals we discussed how great it would be if we could once again make the Paralympic Team together in 2012 and as coincidence would have it we would hopefully be representing Team USA in the same host country of England as we did back in 1984. This started out to be a far fetched dream and as months went on we jokingly decided to put a plan together to see if we could do it. Pam and I were not team/doubles partners at the Paralympics in 1984 because there were more female wheelchair players in the sport back in 1984 so each of us were partnered up with a player closer to our disability class. So Pam and I thought It would be great to see if we could be 2012 Paralympians as Team partners also being that we did not accomplish that feat in 1984.
Being that Pam and I were no longer living in the same dorm playing table tennis together like in 1984 we had to find a way to achieve our 2012 Paralympic goal living hundreds of miles away from each other. Pam primarily trains in the Dallas area with Coaches Keith Evans and Daniel Rutenberg and my Coach Roman Tinyszin and I train at various locations in Connecticut. Pam and I also try to train together a couple times a year whether it be in Texas or Connecticut.
Disabled athletes play in International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) tournaments to try to gain enough world ranking points to move up the world ranking list in their perspective disabled classes in hopes of being ranked high enough so when Paralympic selections are made you can qualify for a Paralympic bid. Keeping that in mind, our first ITTF tournament together was in 2009 at the ParaPan Am games in Margarita Island Venezuela. Due to the low number of female class 2 participants in table tennis most times I have no choice but to play up in female class 3 which means I am at a disadvantage to start because I am forced to compete against athletes less disabled than I. It just so happens that Pam is a female class 3 player so in singles I was up against her and several other players from South America for a medal. Pam wound up winning the Gold Medal in the female singles class 1-3 event and while I did not medal in singles Pam and I won the gold medal in the female class 1-3 team event. This was a confidence builder and led both Pam and I to believe that what started as a far fetched Paralympic dream talked about at the 2008 U.S. Nationals could quite possibly become a reality.
Due to the nature of the ITTF World Ranking system the points Pam and I earned in Venezuela would fall off our point total for 2012 Paralympic selections but the success we experienced in Venezuela made us more determined than ever to work as hard as we could to achieve our goal. Knowing that 2011 would be the year Pam and I would have to travel the globe to participate in tournaments for valuable ITTF points we chose to train as hard as we could in the U.S. and only compete together in one ITTF tournament in 2010 in Costa Rica. As a team in Costa Rica Pam and I struggled due to the low number of female class 1-3 athletes entered in this tournament. Pam and I were forced to play in a combined class of 2-5 which put us at a huge disadvantage because we were competing against athletes much less disabled than we are. With Pam being the stronger player as a class 3 athlete and myself a class 2 there are times I feel Pam would prefer I sit as close to the barrier as possible in doubles so she can hit most of the shots because in wheelchair doubles shots are not alternated. Trusting each other on the table and working as a team is something we needed to work on at this point. Pam did manage to win the Gold Medal in singles class 1-3 though. While playing up in handicap classes can lead to many frustrations on the table tennis table due to physical limitations, Pam and I used this as a learning experience to help us work on the weaknesses in our table tennis games.
On to the year 2011, a very important one for gaining ITTF world ranking points in hopes of being ranked high enough to earn a Paralympic bid. I think Pam and I spent more time in 2011 in a plane seat or playing table tennis than we did sleeping in our own beds at home. Being the dedicated athletes that we seem to be but at times questioning our sanity along the way, we traveled from country to country and practiced for countless hours chasing our dream. Pam and I attended tournaments in 2011 in Slovenia, Rotterdam, Milwaukee, Costa Rica, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. While Pam and I medaled in some of these tournaments the medal Pam and I are proudest of was the Gold medal we received in teams at the Brazilian Open. That particular Gold Medal was won in the team competition in class 1-5 which means we beat disabled athletes in classes that are less disabled than us being that I am a class 2 athlete and Pam is a class 3. This Team Event at the Brazilian Open was combined like it was the previous year in Costa Rica where we struggled to medal at all. So the frustrations we experienced in Costa Rica to beat players in higher classes than us that pushed us to train harder on our weaknesses seemed to be paying off.
Medals were less important in 2011 because most athletes were chasing ITTF World Ranking Points. Through the year valuable World Ranking Points were gained by both Pam and I. On December 31, 2011 after traveling the globe and racking up countless frequent flyer miles Pam ended up 11th on the World Ranking List for Female Class 3 and I wound up 10th on the World Ranking List for Female Class 2. Pam was in a great position for a Paralympic bid because ITTF was selecting 18 athletes from Female Class 3. I was not in such a favorable position because there were 12 Paralympic bids being handed out in the combined class of female 1/2 which most likely was going to put me in the 12th spot which happens to be a Bipartisan Pick. So when the initial Paralympic bids came out on January 15th, 2012 Pam had earned a Paralympic bid and I was on the outside looking in as the number one alternate because the 12th spot which I was in was a Bipartisan Pick. I was battling for the last spot with athletes from France, Great Britain and Brazil. This was an awful spot to be in because now I had to wait until March 12, 2012 to see if I was the chosen one out of the three other athletes to be selected as the Bipartisan Pick.
The wait between the initial picks on January 15th and the second round of picks on March 12th seemed like an eternity. I spent countless hours talking and thinking about the position I was in with no control over what the outcome would be. Pam and I wanted our dream to become a reality so badly because at this point Pam had already been selected as a Paralympian and if I was not selected Pam would only be able to play in the Singles Event at the Paralympics and not the Team Event. On the morning of March 12th after waking up every hour of the night to check the website to see if I was selected to be the Bipartisan Pick the information was finally posted about 5:45AM. At first I did not want to open the document because the possibility existed that my Paralympic dream could end up being a nightmare. So with my husbands urging I finally got the courage to open the document and see where I stood. Words cannot express the joy and honor I felt after I saw my name in the 12th and final spot as the Bipartisan Pick to be a member of the 2012 Paralympic Team representing the United States in the sport of Table Tennis.
After waiting weeks to hear this awesome news and remembering that Pam had told me countless times that she wanted the news as soon as I found out I decided to call her at 4:45 in the morning Central Time. Pam answered in a not so pleasant tone making me feel happy that I was miles away and she could not choke me for waking her up at that ungodly hour she finally piped up and said "this damn well better be good news" and at that point what better news could I have had for her!
The road back to being a Paralympian together for Pam and I started out as a far fetched dream back in December of 2008 and ended up as reality in March of 2012. Who could have asked for a better ending after four years of chasing a dream.

Hockey Pucks TTM
I want to start sending hockey pucks TTM. I am just wondering how everyone is shipping them? Should I use a padded mailer both ways? Should I ship the puck in a display case to keep the sig from smearing?

I am 3/3 with pucks and here's what I do. I put the puck in a cube but keep the top half. I always send in a bubble mailer and obviously send a SAS mailer inside. It helps protect the puck and in my opinion, makes it easier to handle when signing. I've gotten Jimmy Howard, Valterri Filppula, and Chris Chelios back this way. I think it's really up to the signer if it gets smeared or not...just depends on how they handle the item. None of mine have come back with any smearing but it could happen. Good luck!

FD fireworks donors identified
The names of the donors who will fund Fort Dodge's fireworks this year have been revealed.
Kevin and Karen Alstott, owners of C&S Products of Fort Dodge, were identified in a press release from the Greater Fort Dodge Growth Alliance Monday afternoon.
According to the release, the Alstotts contacted the Alliance about making a donation after reading reports Saturday that the fireworks display was to be cancelled.
The Messenger reported on Saturday that the $13,000 to $14,000 needed to put on a show could not be raised this year.
After they found out about the donation, city officials was busy organizing the fireworks and equipment and coordinating police and barricades for the event, fire safety and public works, according to Mayor Matt Bemrich.
Fireworks will be provided by J&M Displays of Yarmouth.
"City staff did a great job coordinating what was needed on a Saturday afternoon," Bemrich said. "Joe Gilbert was fantastic to get a commitment from J & M Displays to do a top notch show on a short notice."
The show will begin at dusk on July 3.

UPDATE: AMD said that instead of released model 6970 with 1GB of memory it would release the Radeon HD 6950 1GB graphics card. The initial release contained a mistake.
Advanced Micro Devices late on Monday announced the incoming of premium-class Radeon HD 6950 graphics board with reduced amount of onboard memory at $269 - $279 price-point as well as the massively factory-overclocked versions of its Radeon HD 6870 graphics cards.
Various partners of AMD plan to release ATI Radeon HD 6950 graphics cards based on the Cayman graphics processing unit (GPU) with 1408 stream processors and featuring only 1GB of onboard GDDR5 memory, according to a statement of AMD. The new graphics cards will be available starting from mid-February and will cost $279 in the U.S.
At the $279 price-point the Radeon HD 6950 1GB and will pose a more affordable alternative for the company's Radeon HD 6950 (which has similar processing power, but 2GB of memory onboard and $299 price-tag) and a more expensive alternative for the Radeon HD 6870 (which has lower performance and costs from $225 to $259). While in very high resolution, with high FSAA levels and in generally demanding games the model 6970 with 1GB of memory will be slower than be slower compared to the model 6950 with 2GB of memory, in loads of today's games performance of the novelty is likely to be close to that of the 6950 with 2GB of GDDR5.
The intention of AMD to release a lower-priced version of its latest and highest-performing graphics processing unit may indicate that the company is trying to boost or sustain the share on the market of graphics cards of enthusiasts, who like novelties, high speeds and adore latest architectures.
AMD also informed that PowerColor, Sapphire Technologies and XFX plan to release graphics cards based on the Radeon HD 6870 graphics processors with 940MHz - 975MHz chip clock-speed (up from 900MHz on default models) with 1GB of 4400MHz - 4600GHz memory (up from 4200MHz) onboard. Prices will range between $229 to $259 in e-tail depending on partner SKU, AMD said

The global health community lost one of its strongest champions today with the death of Representative Donald Payne. Rep. Payne was a tireless advocate for humanitarian support to developing countries, particularly in Africa. He served for 25 years in Congress and was a trailblazer for public health and human rights for people worldwide.
In 2003, Rep. Payne was an original author of the legislation to authorize the creation of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). As the ranking member of the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health and Human Rights, he remained a strong supporter of PEPFAR, and provided a vital voice in the global fight against HIV/AIDS.
Speaking for the PEPFAR family to whom Rep. Payne gave so much, I offer my sincere condolences to his family, friends, staff and constituents. While we mourn his loss, we also celebrate his legacy and honor the tremendous impact that his life's work will continue to have on millions of people around the world, from Newark to Nairobi.
Amadou B. in Massachusetts writes:
I am deeply saddened by news of the passing of Rep and Chairman Donald Payne. He was the biggest and most effective champion of the US-AFRICA partnership. Through him Africa had a stronger voice and presence in the US congress. What a loss! He recently co-signed a letter asking President to reconsider running for a 3rd term. The letter stated that whatever the Constitutional Court decides,Wade candidacy for another term presents a risk for peace and stability in Senegal and Africa. It is this kind of action that set Congressman Payne apart when it comes to Africa. he was engaged in the all battles for Africa's economic growth, social well being and peace and security. AGOA, PEPFAR...The ADC is forever indepted to him. I have HIM, his family and friends in my prayers! RIP chairman Payne.

Anna in Washington, D.C. writes:
Public health and human rights, two noble causes to devote one's life to. Condolences to the Payne family and the people he represented.

Breast Cancer – Treatment and Prognosis
In global terms breast cancer accounts for 22% of all cancers in women, that is why in developed countries over a certain age breast cancer scanning is compulsory. Early diagnostics and treatment result in very good outcomes, but recovery rates also depend on the type of cancer and the geographical location. In the past years breast cancer has received a great attention both by the medical community and the media, which gave impetus to massive research in the field.
Who Are At Risk?
- Women over 40.
- Long-term smoking might increase risks by as much as 50%.
- Excessive alcohol consumption.
- High-fat diet, obesity.
- Genetic susceptibility.
The occurrence of cancer can be predicted when genetic factors overlap with external inducing factors.
How Does Breast Cancer Begin?
Healthy cells divide only a limited number of times and in all their lives stay where they belong. When their time comes, they commit 'suicide'. Exactly these abilities are lost in cancerous cells during their complex mutation process. Normal cells in the breast can begin to multiply uncontrollably in the milk ducts or in the milk-producing glands forming a tumor, which can further spread to the lymph nodes or to other organs.
What Are The Symptoms of Breast Cancer?
In the early stages you might not experience any symptom, but the following signs can herald breast cancer:
- Lump palpable in the breast tissue or in the armpit (do not always herald breast cancer, less than 20% of lumps are cancerous)
- Change in the tissue and size of the breast.
- Dimples in the skin.
- Change in the color of the skin.
- Increased sensitivity.
- Nipples change: rashes, inversion, flaking skin, discharge.
- Sudden, unexplained weight loss.
- Pain and swelling in the armpit or the collarbone.
- Signs of inflammatory breast cancer: swelling, itching, pain, redness.
How Is It Diagnosed?
Once the symptoms identified and physical examination is completed further imaging and lab tests can specify if the cancer is benign, borderline or malignant. Mammography is a reliable way to determine the nature of lumps, whether it is a cancer or only a cyst. Afterwards biopsy is taken and the sample is analyzed microscopically.
Biopsy options vary:
- By fine needle aspiration the doctor takes a fluid sample from the lump. Bloody fluid can be an alarming sign and must be sent to further analysis.
- Other possibility is core biopsy, in which a part of the breast lump is removed.
- In case of excisional biopsy the whole lump is removed.
- Ultrasound and MRI are also frequently used reliable diagnostic methods.
A complete diagnosis need to settle the flowing factors about breast cancer:
- Grade of differentiation from normal cells.
- Stage
- Stage 0 refers to a pre-cancer condition.
- Stages 1-3 indicate that there is a tumor and it has spread to the lymph nodes.
- Stage 4 means that the cancer is already metastatic.
- Receptor status signals whether or not cancerous cells have hormone receptors.
- DNA testing of cancerous cells to compare them to normal cells.
- Which part of the breast the cancer originated from.
Breast Cancer Treatment
Although it depends on the stage and type of cancer, treatment usually includes breast cancer surgery that is followed by chemotherapy.
- Surgical removal of the cancer and part of the breast tissue is a physical and psychological trauma for many women, but in some stages, only a very aggressive intervention helps. Mastectomy is the full removal of the breast, which is usually followed by a breast reconstruction surgery.
- Radiation – After breast cancer surgery as a complementary treatment radiotherapy is applied to destroy residue tumor cells that might have survived after surgery. It is estimated to reduce recurrence chances by 50-60%.
There are several options for medical breast cancer treatment.
- Chemotherapy is the most efficient in 2-4 stage cancers, however there is a growing public concern about its adverse side effects. One contra is that it indistinctly destroys cells, cancerous or healthy.
- Hormonal therapy
- Immunotherapy
How To Reduce Risks?
- Control your weight.
- Breastfeed your children.
- Exercise regularly.
- Include Omega 3-6 fatty acids in your diet.

[ Program Description ]
For over a decade, the FAU Peace Studies program has brought together students, faculty, and community members to explore pathways to peace and the processes of peacebuilding. As an interdisciplinary program, Peace Studies draws from a broad range of fields: anthropology, literary studies, political science, communication, history, ethics, social work and many more. Peace Studies is designed to complement a traditional major in any field. Peace Studies students take five courses from a set of curricula approved by the Program faculty committee. The Peace Studies Program at Florida Atlantic University is committed to the extensive investigation and understanding of the causes of peace from a multidisciplinary perspective. The Program invites the active participation of students at all academic levels as well as the broader community.
Most courses come from the home college of Peace Studies, the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters. At graduation, students receive a certificate in Peace Studies that is noted on their academic record along with their major. Graduates enter employment like law, international relations, social and community work, and education.
Our curriculum and community outreach programs continue to evolve and expand, but our mission is always the same: we explore the meaning of peace and the paths to/of peace. As Martin Luther King Jr. once said,"Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal."
Peace Studies invites the community to join FAU faculty and students in their ongoing work of studying and making peace. The Peace Studies Program also offers a broad range of lectures, workshops, research conferences, and other activities outside of the classroom such as the Peaceful Mind Peaceful Life community outreach program, talks by prominent peacemakers, and related workshops. Thousands of people have attended our events during our first 10 years, and we expect to continue this tradition in our second decade.
Whether as a student or community supporter, we invite you to become a part of Peace Studies.

FOOTBALL ALL-STARS: 7 first-team all-stars from Eisenhower
Eisenhower's Alex Johnson was named co-player of the year in Region 2, and six other Knights were first-team Region 2 all-stars when the District 10 all-region football teams were released on Friday afternoon.
Johnson was a first-team pick on both offense and defense as a running back and linebacker, joining Ike teammates Jarrett Johnson (wide receiver), Rob Wilston (quarterback), Jon Shelton (offensive line), Jake Spetz (offensive line, defensive line), Chris Sanders (offensive line, defensive line), and Carter Farrell (defensive back).
Warren had one first-team pick in Region 5 in junior defensive back D. J. Fehlman.
Second-team representatives for Ike were Grant Venman (kicker), Jarrett Johnson (punter), Jared Flaisman (defensive line), Bryce Garris (linebacker), Logan Bellardo (defensive back), and Louie Head (defensive back).
Geoff Stewart (defensive line) and Luke Wortman (linebacker) were second-team selections for the Dragons.
Johnson entered his senior season at Eisenhower with some big shoes to fill after the graduation of all-time rushing leader John Pascuzzi – a first-team pick in 2012. The senior ball carrier Johnson responded with 1,138 yards and 13 rushing touchdowns on 145 carries, averaging nearly eight yards per touch en route to Ike's second straight Region 2 title. He was also the team's second leading receiver with 17 catches for 219 yards, and led the Knights with 118 tackles on defense.
Ike's number one receiver – Jarrett Johnson – racked up 391 yards and seven touchdowns on 22 catches. He was the main target for fellow first-teamer Wilston, who completed 74-of-133 passes for 1,130 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Wilston also chipped in 500 rushing yards and six scores on 108 carries, thanks in large part to the blocking of Shelton, Spetz, and Sanders.
Despite throwing for over 2,000 yards and setting a school record for touchdown passes in a season (30), Fehlman was edged out at quarterback by Slippery Rock's Jake Whitmer and DuBois' Gabe French in Region 5. The Dragon junior did make his mark defensively, playing strong from his cornerback position all year.
Wortman, a senior captain, demonstrated big-play ability as a running back, linebacker, and return specialist for the Dragons. Stewart was an anchor on both the offensive and defensive lines in his senior year.
Cambridge Springs running back Colton Noble joined Alex Johnson as Region 2 co-player of the year, while DuBois' Bryson Paulinellie took the honors in Region 5.
Eisenhower and Warren were both District 10 playoff teams; Ike as the Region 2 champion in Class A for the second straight season, and Warren in Class AAA.

/ Public meeting planned on proposed upgrade of Hop Brook Dam, Northborough
Diane Baedeker Petit, Public Affairs Officer
AMHERST, Mass. (June 8, 2012) - Northborough residents and other interested parties are invited to attend a public meeting to discuss and submit comments on proposed plans to upgrade the Hop Brook Dam in Northborough. The meeting will be held on Thursday June 28th from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm in the Selectmen's meeting room at the Northborough Town Hall, 63 Main Street, Northborough, Mass.
Staff from the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and the United States Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will present information about the proposed project. The public will have an opportunity to ask questions and comment at the meeting. For more information, visit www.ma.nrcs.usda.gov.
Although the dam is still structurally sound and does not pose an imminent threat to public safety, today's increased land development has generated higher amounts of runoff than the dam was originally designed to handle. DCR and NRCS monitor the dam annually and after significant storms to ensure the safety of surrounding communities.
"Upgrading the Hop Brook Dam will not only provide better flood protection, but will also maintain wetland and wildlife habitat and outdoor recreation such as nature and hiking trails," said Christine Clarke, NRCS Massachusetts State Conservationist.
DCR, which owns, operates and maintains the Hop Brook Dam, has requested federal funding for upgrade through the NRCS Watershed Rehabilitation Program.
The Hop Brook Dam is one of nine dams built between 1962 and 1987 by NRCS and DCR, which work as a system to provide an estimated $1.7 million in annual flood damage reduction benefits to the 36 towns within the Sudbury-Assabet-Concord (SuAsCo) rivers watershed.
The 23 foot high Hop Brook Dam currently can store nearly 437 million gallons of water, protecting 170 homes and businesses, as well as 14 bridges, saving the town an estimated $118,000 annually by preventing flood damage.

The six tracks i have heard so far actually are more than promising
New-That one of us have heard and most of us like
Save me-performed live. The studio version has a more layered, rather cool production . A great first track and a fast paced yet melodic rocker with some nice twists and a great baseline
Everybody out here-also performed live. Yhe studioversion rather similar but of course more produced and a nice chanting with Maccas voice a bit processed on top in the chorus. In the end Macca screams Can anybody hear me. In my opinion a brilliant song
I can bet-now we are talking really great Macca power ppo/rock with very modern beats combined with a vintage syntsolo with great vocals, instant chorus and one amazing middleweight. End with some pshycedelic sounds where i think i can hear something of Out of sight to. Brilliant stuff sort of mixture between modern, Wings and Beatles.
Quennie Eye- a rather unique track that has some clear Beatles, Lennon, Walrus touches. Rather heavy but fun and the same time. Grows after repeated listening
Early Days- Frankly one of the best tracks I have ever heard from Paul. Acoustic with some snare drums, vocals effect, sparse but at the same time big production. A folky melody that after a few listenings for me has grown into a real melodic diamond. Maccas vocals are a bit rough and he sounds the 71 years he is. According to an interview Paul wanted to record a "better" take than this one apparently the first take. Producer voted for this take because it has a certain vulnerability that resonates great to the meaning of the song. We should be grateful for that sound.The lyrics look backs on the early days in Liverpool and also point a finger for the people who claim to remember when they were not there. A sining diamond of a song this is.

Skip to comments.NYC expects 2012 to have fewest murders on record
Posted on 12/28/2012 1:20:22 PM PST by SeekAndFind
NEW YORK The number of murders in New York City is expected to hit a record low this year, and shootings are at their lowest point in at least 18 years, officials said Friday.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly credited police efforts, including the controversial tactic known as stop and frisk, and Bloomberg said the statistics showed "that the safest big city in America is safer."
So far, there have been 414 homicides citywide this year, 19 percent less than last year and the fewest since reliable record-keeping for killings began in 1963. The previous low was 471, in 2009.
There have been 1,353 shootings this year, a statistic with comparable records going back to 1994. The previous low was 1,420 in 2009, and the number has dropped by more than 8 percent since last year.
Violent crime hit high points in New York in the 1990s, with a record 2,245 murders in 1990.
While there have been ups and downs since, including a double-digit increase in murders in 2010, the overall drop in crime and violence has helped reshape the city's image. Bloomberg often calls New York the safest big city in America, a description based on FBI statistics for seven major crimes. New York has the lowest rate per 100,000 residents among the 25 most populous U.S. cities.
(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...
Just don't stand near the tracks on subway platforms and don't get caught with a soft drink container larger than 16 ounces. Yeah, NY is a real safe city.
Except they haven't been reliable since Bloomberg took office.
Yeah, its too easy to manipulate the numbers.
Today I read that the Detroit homicide rate is at a 20 year high but noticed they classified Justifiable Homicide with murder.
It's pretty easy to futz with crime statistics, but really hard to do with murders specifically.
The decrease in crime in NYC is primarily the work of Rudy Giuliani, who really turned things around.
But Bloomberg deserves some credit. In many regards, he is a jerk. But he has refrained from reversing any of Giuliani's policies to keep crime under control. He doesn't emphasize it, but at least he has refrained from undoing it, as I expected when he first came into office.
Sometimes not doing anything is the right thing to do.
Why would anyone be proud of 414 killed in NYC. That numbers could be lower with concealed Carry.
I guess they're not counting the people in NY City who were murdered by terrorists on 9/11/01.
Frankly, I think it's the soda ban. Thieves just don't have the energy they used to.
I bet you dollars to donuts that the ACCIDENTAL death rate skyrockets in 2013.
Concealed carry in NYC (and Chicago, DC, etc) would probably have a minimal impact, if any, on the murder rate - many murders in those cities (and gun murders in particular) are thug-on-thug/gang-related.
Concealed carry would, however, lower the rates of other crimes in these cities, perhaps significantly.
"Why would anyone be proud of 414 killed in NYC"
I think that's pretty good in a city with about 8 million people.
Because the per capita murder rates are lower than in southern cities without much gun regulation. In truth, though, I think all cities could have NYC murder rates if we had NYC's population density (27.5K per sq mile). Of course, most southern cities have fewer cops per capita and per square mile, because they don't have the tax revenues that come from being the nation's historic capital of finance, fashion, journalism and all that jazz. If implemented in southern cities, NYC's gun laws would lead to a massive crime wave.
Figures lie...LIARS figure.
Actually, the claims are well-founded. Compared to Oakland, Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland, and Baltimore... New York is a very safe city day and night. NYC barely hits the top 40 in violent crime. I've been pleasantly surprised given expectations.
They could be, yes. New Yorkers - at least, your typical liberal, non-Freeper New Yorker - recoil from guns like a vampire from a crucifix.
Because they're one and the same. The Bloomberg policy (actually a continuation of the Giuliani policy) is for police to stop any suspicious-looking "yutes" on any pretext (spitting in the street, smoking on the subway, etc.) and then frisk them for guns. Anyone found with a gun is then locked up under the Sullivan law.
When you remove all liberties and freedoms, you can have a (relatively speaking) safe city.
Give me liberty any day of the week.
F Bloomturd.
What does soda consumption have to do with safety?
Hey, Mayor Bloomturd is killing me with his stupidity. Does that count in the count?
He's also killing businesses. That should raise the economic body count to the sky.
Subway killings have doubled in the past two months. Is Bloomturd going to outlaw subways?
THere are all kinds of "death" counts and you don't always need a body to have them.
Why do you attribute it to NYC's population density? In general, cities have more crime on average than less densely populated areas of the country.
A better indicator of "murder" rates, would be the attempted murders. Murders are only classified as such after a person has died.
With current medical and procedures and medicines, it is possible that there are a lot more people being saved by doctors and nurses and first responders, than in years past. It's the same as in the military, where there are thousands of people who are living now after being injured in Afghanistan and Iraq, that would have died if it wasn't for the newer procedures and medicines which have brought many from the brink of death.
Logically, assuming all other factors (race, median income, et al) are equal, more densely populated areas ought to have lower per capita crime because even when the number of police per capita are equivalent, the number of cops per square mile is higher, meaning that crooks have a shorter amount of time to do whatever they do, before a police patrol runs into them. For instance, NYC has a police to civilian ratio of 4.22 per 1000, whereas Dallas PD's ratio is 2.44 per 1000. However, NYC's police per square mile ratio is 74 compared to Dallas's 9. I suspect this is in part why Dallas's crime statistics are far worse than NYC's. Areaconnect has an interesting graph illustrating the difference in per capita crime:
Note that the difference in aggravated assaults per capita between Dallas and NYC is smaller than the difference in murders per capita. I suspect that's also related to population density. An emergency room that is close by prevents aggravated assault from turning into murder. The victim might end up paralyzed from the neck down or limbless, but that would still be classified as assault rather than murder.
Stop and frisk? Where is the ACLU, the NAACP, and other "freedom-loving" organizations? Sounds like Bloomingidiotberg is creating the "Eden" that the Left wants to turn the whole Nation into - I wonder how much he is getting paid for preparing the model.
The numbers are real and Bloomie get credit but not as much as he thinks. The Dinkins years saw the 2,200s every year, then Guiliani and Bratton came in and developed broken windows tactics,increased numbers, unified the City with the transit and housing cops. By 2000 the numbers were in the 600s. nanny Bloomie benefited from Rudy's work, a changing population where gentrification occured thanks to Rudy, and a decade of lowering crime nationwide. Bloomie's numbers are far less impressive than Rudy's. But,yes NYC is safer than most any large city in the country.,and certainly safer than any million plus city.
If there was only one murder,the usual suspects would still take a shot.
No, I guess not, dip shite!

Stanford's Penna Named Player of the Week
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – The Amateur Softball Association is pleased to announce that Stanford's Missy Penna (Miami, Fla.) was named the USA Softball Player of the Week for the Week of April 27 –May 3. The senior completed her final home season on a high note, beating two top-10 teams and leading the Cardinal to a 3-0 weekend.
Penna beat two top-10 teams, allowing two of the nation's top-three offenses just one combined run and three combined hits in 14 innings of work. Stanford went 3-0 and swept a weekend series with the Arizona schools for the first time in program history.
"I'm very honored to be chosen from among so many great players. Our team had a great weekend, and we're excited about the way that we are playing right now," said Penna. "A lot of credit should go to my catcher Rosey Neill, who is an important part of every pitch. We look forward to taking the momentum we built this weekend into next week and the postseason."
On Friday night, Penna became the first pitcher to hold then No.7 Arizona State scoreless in more than two months, since Feb. 22. She threw a two-hitter, struck out 11 and became the first active pitcher in the country to reach 1,200 career strikeouts this season.
On Sunday, she one-hit the nation's best offense, holding the then-No.8 Arizona Wildcats to just one run on one hit. Arizona averages nearly nine runs a game. She also struck out 13 batters in the game and helped Stanford take the series from the Wildcats for the first time in school history.
"Missy had an outstanding weekend. She has represented our program very well over her four years and this weekend really showed what she is capable of," said Stanford Head Coach John Rittman. "We're very proud of her accomplishments and look forward to having her lead us into postseason."
For the weekend, Penna posted a 0.50 ERA with 24 strikeouts in 14 innings and an .065 opposing average while facing two of the best offensive teams in the country.
This is the second time this season Penna has been named Player of the Week with the first time being for the week of March 23-29.

Rural Studio
Rural Studio
Training and employing unskilled laborers as apprentices and teaching "anyone with a work ethic" how to build.
A group of black belts head to Greensboro, Alabama, to participate in Rural Studio home-building projects.
Being a homeowner who has gutted and rehabbed a number of residences now, I've come to learn that materials really do have their place.
We arrived in Greensboro on Tuesday afternoon and headed straight up to Antioch Baptist Church (see image below) to see if there was any information on services during the week. We were hoping to gather sound of the church's congregation, perhaps speaking to members who had seen the previous incarnation. Cruising down the 1.5 lane highway at a healthy speed, we eyed this tiny sign pointing down a gravel road (driveway) "Antioch Baptist Church." The grass between the tire tracks was quite tall, giving me the impression that this church might not get used at all. As we walked up to the structure we knew immediately that this was a Rural Studio project, it was like no other church in the area (except for the other RS chapels).
Alongside the church is an elevated graveyard with headstones dating back to the early 1800's. The juxtaposition of these old tombs looking upon the modern chapel below was striking, as was the fact that the only windows along the long walls of the church were the narrow strip which looked directly out at the graves.
The foundation has been laid and now the heavy lifting begins for second-year students at the Rural Studio. They completely dismantled St. Luke's Episcopal Church (circa 1854) last year and cataloged all its elements — from mortise & tenon beams to cut nails. Then, they loaded up the truck and relocated the structure near its original location in Cahawba, the first capital of Alabama.
David Buege, the interim director of Rural Studio while Andrew Freear is on sabbatical, questions the long-term effectiveness of green building and sustainability in general. He wonders whether LEED certification isn't just another highly profitable add-on service that some architects exploit. Long-term, land-use planning, he says, should be at the forefront of his profession. Without that, most other efforts will fail to make an impact on generations outside of our grandchildren.

Eagle Point School District Strike Update
The Eagle Point school district and union for striking employees say they were unable to reach an agreement in talks that ended Thursday night.
With classes canceled this week and no new talks scheduled until
Tuesday, the district plans to reopen schools on Monday using
substitutes crossing picket lines. The district says it trained 65 substitutes Thursday in classrooms and increased security at picket lines after reports of
harassment. Schools also will continue to provide transportation
and meals for students.
The Eagle Point Education Association called for union members
and supporters to gather at 3 p.m. Friday at the district office to
ask for a fair settlement of class size and insurance issues.
The strike began Tuesday in the district that has 328 employees,
including 186 teachers, for 4,100 students.

On July 7, 2012, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to Kabul, Afghanistan, where she met with Afghan President Hamid Karzai. During remarks with President Karzai, Secretary Clinton said:
"It's wonderful being back in Afghanistan and to hear the birds, who are singing about the beautiful day here in Kabul. And I thank you so much for hosting me today and for your leadership and your vision for the future of your country and your people. It is certainly worth thinking for a moment about all of the positive changes that have been made and what we are doing to set the foundation for the future.
"The security situation is more stable. The Afghan National Security Forces are improving their capacity to protect the Afghan people. They are in the process of taking the lead in more than 75 percent of the population's living areas in order to provide security. And at the NATO Summit in Chicago, the international community made pledges to assist the continuing growth and development of the security forces.
"But meanwhile, the Government of Afghanistan has signed partnership agreements with many countries, and we are very pleased that the United States is among those. We have worked together to set forth a long-term political, diplomatic, and security partnership, and it entered into force just a few days ago.
"And I am pleased to announce today that President Obama has officially designated Afghanistan as a major non-NATO ally of the United States. We see this as a powerful symbol of our commitment to Afghanistan's future."
On May 2, 2012, President Obama and President Karzai signed the Enduring Strategic Partnership Agreement between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. As part of this agreement, the United States pledged to designate Afghanistan a Major Non-NATO Ally (MNNA). Following the entry into force of the Strategic Partnership Agreement on July 4, President Obama signed the MNNA designation for Afghanistan on July 6. Afghanistan is the first country to be designated an MNNA since 2004.
MNNA designation provides a long-term framework for our security and defense cooperation. It reinforces the strong bilateral defense relationship between the United States and Afghanistan by helping support aligned defense planning, procurement, and training. Only a limited number of countries have this special status. MNNA qualifies a country for certain privileges supporting defense and security cooperation but does not entail any security commitment to that country.
Some of the privileges of MNNA status include eligibility for training, loans of equipment for cooperative research and development, and ultimately Foreign Military Financing for commercial leasing of certain defense articles. While the United States and the international community already provide significant security assistance to Afghanistan, in the long-term as Afghanistan takes on greater financial responsibility for its own security, MNNA status will be a critical catalyst for maintaining effective Afghan National Security Forces and building a robust peace-time security relationship between Afghanistan and the United States.
MNNA status is a symbol of the strong relationship between Afghanistan and the United States based on mutual respect and shared interests. It is a significant example of the United States' long-term commitment to Afghanistan and our close cooperation.
While in Kabul, Secretary Clinton spoke about cooperation between the United States and Afghanistan. She said:
"Later this year, I'm looking forward to convening, along with Foreign Minister Rassoul, the new U.S.-Afghanistan bilateral commission to intensify our cooperation.
"Our Strategic Partnership Agreement is not aimed at any other country. Our goal is to work with the region and the international community to strengthen Afghanistan's institutions so that the transition is successful and the Afghan people themselves can take responsibility. And the future of Afghanistan will be safer and more secure so that little boys and little girls can grow up in peace and stability and enjoy a better opportunity. And we will also make sure together that it is no longer a safe haven for al-Qaida or any other international terrorists who threaten Afghanistan, the region, the United States, in fact, the world.
"When I think about the progress that's been made, the new schools that have been built, the improvements in healthcare, the legal protections for Afghan citizens, I think there is much for the Afghan people to be very pleased about because it is your efforts that have brought about these changes. And we want to continue to invest in doing what you believe you need. That's why it'll be important to go to Tokyo together to discuss the next stages for investment in what's being called the transformation decade. We will continue, of course, to protect Afghanistan from any efforts by insurgents and outsiders to destabilize Afghanistan. And we were struck by the recent call from Pakistan's parliament that Pakistani territory shall not be used for any kind of attacks on other countries. And all foreign fighters, if found, shall be expelled from Pakistani soil. So we want to deepen our security cooperation with Pakistan.
"And we also remain committed to Afghan reconciliation. I have supported President Karzai in his effort to have an Afghan-owned, Afghan-led reconciliation process. We see positive signs. To quote High Peace Council head Dr. Rabbani, 'a positive shift.' And I'm pleased that in Tokyo, we will have a core meeting of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the United States at the ministerial level.
"So there is much to do to continue working and building together. Obviously, we know Afghanistan has an agenda ahead of itself to make key economic reforms, to fight corruption, to strengthen the rule of law, to attract more trade and investment. And I want to commend President Karzai for his strong public pledges to stamp out corruption and build institutions that will be critical for Afghanistan's future. And Mr. President, you will always have our support in your efforts. So we're very excited about what is possible, and we are certainly aware of all of the difficulties that lie ahead. But we want to see Afghanistan be the center of a region of greater communication between countries and people, more trade and investment, a kind of New Silk Road that will bring more economic opportunity not only to Afghanistan, but to the entire region.
"So my message today is very simple: The transition is on track, Afghanistan is standing up for itself, of course it will need support, and we are pledged to continue our support and to work with you to get more international support, and I'm quite excited about what lies ahead in Tokyo. But please know that the United States will be your friend and your partner. We are not even imagining abandoning Afghanistan; quite the opposite. We are building a partnership with Afghanistan that will endure far into the future."
Secretary Clinton is on travel to France, Afghanistan, Japan, Mongolia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Egypt, and Israel. You can follow her trip on www.state.gov.

- Tasting Notes. Kiran, Founder
- USDA Organic

- Certified Organic by Biodynamic Association Certification of the United Kingdom
Deep, bold and malty, my Assam is a tea rightly famous for its strength of flavor. It is strong because of the climate in which it is grown.
Combine the sultry, sticky, humid plains of Assam with the wettest and longest monsoon in India and you have the perfect place for those big glossy Assam leaves to thrive.
And it's grown organically, all who live on the estate, from the tea pickers, to the wildlife and of course the tea bushes themselves, can flourish in an environment free of chemical pesticides.
As I always pay a premium for my tea, the tea pickers can use that extra income to invest in things they need, like child care, tree planting and school computers.
Hampstead is a quaint hillside village just a few miles from the bustling center of London. Known for its intellectual, liberal, artistic, musical and literary associations and for the famous Hampstead Heath-a large hilly expanse of parkland. Generations of creative ideas have flourished among lovely tea shops that serve various teas all day long and of course observe the English tradition of afternoon high tea and cakes! It is here that Kiran founded The Hampstead Tea Company to bring to market teas of the highest quality and share her belief that the most enriching moments can be those spent sipping delicious, soul nurturing tea with good friends!
Demeter Organic Biodynamic certification ensures that all our teas are grown using sustainable organic farming methods. These methods reflect a commitment to biodiversity, soil husbandry, livestock integration and the prohibition of genetically engineered organisms.
Suggested Use
To get the best from my Assam tea, brew one sachet per person in freshly boiled water for up to 3 minutes. Add milk or cream and sugar to taste.

Preparing for an eggstravaganza
Southfield Wellness Community will host its sixth annual Easter "Eggstravaganza" on Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon.
The event will host two Easter egg hunts, one for children ages one to four at 10:30 a.m. and one for children ages five to eight at 11:30 a.m. In addition, the event will feature day-old chicks from McMurray Hatchery and local 4-H members will bring rabbits and a baby goat for children to interact with and learn more about.
Marilyn Middleton, Marketing Coordinator for Southfield Wellness community, said the Eggstravaganza has grown from 80 attendees at the inaugural Easter event to now hosting over 400 people.
Children attending the event will also have a chance to make a couple different crafts. Those include a jelly bean chick craft and a lucky bunny rabbit face that can attach to laced shoes.
The Eggstravaganza will also host a bake sale with items prepared by Southfield staff. Middleton said money from the bake sale will go toward a special trip that Southfield is planning for it's residents. Refreshments will also be provided. Middleton encouraged parents attending the event to bring a camera for a photo opportunity with the Easter Bunny.
Extra staff will be on hand to help residents participate in the event. Middleton said staff will bring around the baby chicks to residents who aren't able to come over.
"Some of our tenants that live at Southfield are out there buying bake sale items, they're watching whats going on and some of them help. We try to get the tenants and the residents involved for one of the biggest events we have at Southfield," Middleton said. "We love to have the public see our nice home."
While this Saturday marks the sixth year Southfield has hosted the Eggstravaganza, Middleton said this is the first time they have faced frozen, snowy ground this close to Easter. She said the event is planned to be held despite the cold weather, and eggs will be hidden in the hallways of the Southfield buildings. Hidden eggs may contain prizes that children can redeem. Middleton said that they will retain the Easter eggs themselves so they can reuse them for future egg hunts.
Attendance to the event is free and Middleton said that everyone interested in attending is welcome.
"I hope that cool weather won't hamper the Easter spirit because once the kids get inside the doors, everything will be blossoming and everyone will have a hippity-hop good time," Middleton said.
