Industry insiders and analysts believe the business and private jet industry will witness a resurgence in 2011 as a global economic recovery continues. Of course, if you toss into the mix more political unrest in the Middle East, the rising price of oil and European Union member nation bailouts, things could get a bit dicey.

The protagonist in the 1970s American television show The Six Million Dollar Man was an injured astronaut who'd had various mangled body parts replaced with bionic ones that gave him superhuman abilities. All of this is recounted in the show's opening credits, while the narrator enthusiastically intones, "We can make him better than he was before.

There are probably as many reasons to fly privately as there are private flyers. But you can subdivide the species into types, to a degree. Of course, the characteristics may overlap, but here are three examples:

Ever begin a weeklong hotel stay by discovering that you've packed just three pairs of sox? Worse, have you ever reached for your cell phone–or passport–in an airport, only to realize it's on your desk back home?

Charter brokers are sometimes treated like the Rodney Dangerfields of the business aviation world. They don't get the respect typically accorded to the operators they work with–the companies that control or own the aircraft you use when you charter a flight.

Two days after the second turbine-powered Robinson R66 made its first flight in 2009, Robinson Helicopter CEO Frank Robinson still had little good to say about small turbine-powered helicopters.

You fly aboard a business jet. Could you have any better insurance policy than that if you need medical care while traveling or must return home due to injury or illness?

"I have such a hard time flying commercial. I always want to—it's cheaper, it's easier—but there can be 300 perfectly lovely people at the gate and one crazy person who ruins it for everyone, so flying private is great because I don't have to worry. "

My first thought when I saw this was "Jack Sparrow" - before I even saw your opening comment. Great minds! My connection is Lydia, sister to Rebecca, is my 8X gg. Also among my undocumented secondary source resource information is that Jonathan married third, hence the reference to "his first two wives" to Sarah Lewis, widow of James Cobb. Sarah & James are my 8X great grandparents. Thanks for posting the pictures!ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting these pics. I am pretty sure they're not my husband's ancestors. Sparrow seems to be a somewhat common last name. But maybe I'll check it out anyway.

Your Most Indulgent Valentine's Day Meals
LAS VEGAS ( TheStreet) -- With Valentine's Day fast approaching, TravelsinTaste brings you indulgent dining experiences and gift ideas to make it a day of enchantment:
At The Palazzo in Las Vegas, Lavo offers a sophisticated setting to enjoy dinner with menu items such as Mediterranean king crab salad with roasted beets, mache, citrus, Rose Petal Shaped Pasta with shrimp, asparagus tips, black truffles and a 6-ounce Kobe filet mignon and baked langostino. Its sister restaurant, Tao, has a menu perfect for enjoying under the watch of the restaurant's iconic 20-foot Buddha. Selections include a trio of Shibumi oysters served with blood orange mignonette, pickled fresh turmeric and ginger flowers and a "salt and pepper" stir-fried Maine lobster risotto with crustace sauce.
One of Vegas' sexiest restaurants, Strip House , with its siren red walls and old-world glamour, can provide the perfect spot for a romantic night on the town. Sumptuous selections include Kataifi-wrapped crisp shrimp with chopped avocado, cucumber and flying fish roe; or surf and turf -- an 8-ounce filet mignon and broiled lobster or a 14-ounce bone-in filet. Or travel to the ends of the world without the expensive air fare at Fleur by Hubert Keller , renowned for its small plates from a variety of countries. Couples can have a five-course menu of Keller's delicacies, including Kusshi oysters; jumbo lump crab cake; seared scallop; petite filet; and a chocolate hazelnut bar.
If it's a Valentine's cocktail you desire, stop by Legendary Rao's at Caesars Palace for its delicious Cherry Drop Martini to set the mood. Featuring a romantic blend of Grey Goose Cherry Noir, Cointreau, fresh sour and cane sugar syrup, topped with maraschino cherries and candy hearts, guests will be able to toast to a fabulous evening at Las Vegas' premier Italian restaurant.
How about topping your date off with some culture? You can experience the 50 Greatest Photos of National Geographic , the Imagine Exhibition Gallery's newest installation at The Venetian. Opening on Valentine's Day, the exhibition showcases some of National Geographic 's most-remembered and celebrated photographs from its 120-plus-year history, including Nick Nichols' iconic image of Jane Goodall's encounter with a curious chimp and Thomas Abercrombie's never-before-seen view of Mecca.
In Miami, kick off the evening with the perfect kiss from Meat Market : the Champagne Kiss. Guests can indulge while enjoying aphrodisiacal notes such as six Kusshi oysters topped with cucumber sorbet and black bowfin caviar. Or try multiple innovative surf and turf options, including a 2-pound lobster with Angus chateaubriand, a wood-grilled filet or Snake River Farms Kobe-style gold filet. Chef Andrew Carmellini's wildly popular The Dutch at the W South Beach Hotel lets guests get cozy over tuna tartare -- with harissa, Israeli couscous and Greek yogurt or Guinness-Braised short ribs -- with yukon golds and roasted brussels sprouts.

I experimented quite a bit with baking powder in pizza dough, quite frankly I didn't care for the taste. It may be fast, such as right now, no need to allow the dough to rise, but to me that's it's only selling point. Great for bisquits, but for pizza, I'll pass. For a Sicilian I just don't see it.Don

The Single Most Important Stock Market Metric
Exploring the system formerly known as capitalism.
Stay classy, San Diego!
-- Ron Burgundy, Anchorman
Following last week's upside breakout, the bulls, with some help from high above, put the technical Danger Zone behind them, right in time for the meat of earnings season.
A quick check of our four primary metrics finds:
1. The technical landscape, while overbought and extended, has support below (former resistance).
2. Fundamentals are coming out hot and heavy (earnings have thus far met or beat on the aggregate).
3. The structural construct got a shot in the arm last week with Ben's helpful hand (insofar as he is able to control the system formerly known as capitalism).
4. Psychology is fluid, ever-changing, and in part, a function of social mood.
While conventional wisdom dictates the first three metrics are large and in charge, I would argue psychology remains the single most important metric. As Viktor Frankl famously wrote in Man's Search for Meaning, "You can never cage free will." While central bankers have thrown the kitchen sink at global financial markets in an effort to thwart deflation, they cannot make people hire more or buy homes.
We've seen some improvement on those fronts; we've also seen a slew of societal acrimony, social unrest, and geopolitical conflict. For all the money, vernacular, and artificial stimuli, there is another side to the current policy and it's manifesting all around us.
On a trading basis, I got stopped out of my short SPY (NYSEARCA:SPY) last week due in large part to the chart below; while I was trying to keep "loose grips" with regard to my approach, it failed and I took a loss.
In a free market, that setup would have likely paid off in spades, but we must trade the tape we have, not the tape we want. In my view, we are witnessing a shameful and historic stretch for the US financial markets, but price remains the ultimate arbiter of variant financial views.
Friday morning, I wrote the following post on our real-time Buzz & Banter:
I wrote yesterday about Big Ben's God Complex. Emotion is the enemy when trading-we know this-and while the trading dynamic has seemingly shifted, the gambler in me wants to toss a few shekels on the snake eyes to the downside. Call it sunk money or a Texas hedge; it's written off as far as I'm concerned.
I'm pledging a fixed sum of money (defined risk) to December SPY puts; it's not prudent, it's not in the "Commandments" and it's probably a silly thing to do. But as I disclose my trading in this forum, I'm sharing this because it's true. Right or wrong, I think they'll make money between here and year-end.
When my grandfather Ruby taught me how to play craps (there were a lot of lessons; this was one of our 'things'), the first lesson he taught me-one I didn't always pay attention to but eventually learned he was right about-was "the hard way is a sucker's bet" (this is when you bet on a pair of 2s, 3s, 4s, or 5s); he said the same for boxcars (two 6s) and snake eyes (two 1s), which only won if you called them "coming out." If they hit, they paid off handsomely, but they rarely hit.
I've had a streaky year on a trading basis; I came out of the gate hard, notching the best performance on a percentage basis of my career, took it on the chin and gave back a chunk (stay humble or the market will do it for you), found my groove anew and pushed toward my high-water mark last month, and after that stellar stretch, when I covered everything right near S&P (INDEXSP:.INX) 1560, I laid some shorts back out; it felt right, almost textbook as we re-tested the underbelly of the S&P uptrend, but Big Ben had other ideas.
I won't tell you that the above is smart and unemotional or that it's not good money after bad, and I have no catalyst to point to. Furthermore, I'll be out next week-I'm filming an eSignal commercial this Friday before taking my wife Jamie and daughter Ruby to San Diego Saturday for Sea World, Legoland, and the Zoo and flying back to film another commercial Thursday. It's been a tough year health-wise (between my heart and hip) and to be honest, we need a respite; if a three-day faux honeymoon with our two-year-old is it, we'll embrace it.
With so many catalysts coming down the pipe, my plan is to trade 'em when I spy advantageous risk-reward and keep a tight leash on my time horizon.
We'll share those vibes in real time as we always do over on the Buzz & Banter.
Good luck this week.

How to Get Rid of Your Unwanted PMI
Typically, PMI costs around 0.5% of the home's value per year, often adding many thousands to the expense of owning a home over time.
Fortunately, it's possible to wriggle free of this requirement. And the robust rise in home prices over the past year, plus the effects of low mortgage rates, may enable you to cancel your PMI much sooner than you think. Just be sure not to step in a hole along the way, by missing a mortgage payment or taking out a home equity loan.
It all comes down to the amount of equity you have in the home or the difference between the home's current value and the debt remaining on your mortgage. If you owed $160,000 on a $200,000 home, you'd have 20% equity. PMI is required if equity is below 20%, and the PMI premium can be higher if equity is substantially below that level.
A federal law passed in 1999 requires lenders to cancel PMI automatically when the loan balance falls to 78% of the value of the property at the time the loan was made. If the borrower requests it, the lender must cancel when the balance falls to 80% of that starting value.
Most importantly, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac , the companies that own or back most mortgages issued in recent years, allow cancellation based on the home's current value rather than the value when the loan was made. That allows the homeowner to benefit from rising home prices.
"You can terminate after two years if the loan balance is no more than 75% of current appraised value, and after five years if it is no more than 80%," Jack M. Guttentag, emeritus finance professor at the Wharton School, says on his website The Mortgage Professor .
Because home values are up by about 12% in the past year, you may have passed one of these thresholds without knowing it.
And if you have a low mortgage rate, you are building equity faster than if the rate were higher. That's because when the rate is low, more of each month's payment goes to pay down the loan's balance, or principal.
The Mortgage Loan Calculator shows how this works. Imagine you bought a $100,000 home with 10% down, taking out a $90,000 mortgage. That would give you 10% equity at the start, leaving you subject to the PMI requirement.

(Manuscript Proposal Submission Deadline: February 11, 2008)
Testing and Assessment in Translation and Interpreting
Editors: Angelelli, Claudia and Jacobson, Holly E.
Translation and interpreting (T&I) are fields of inquiry supported by
substantial scholarship. The notion of quality, whether at initial
acquisition levels (e.g. translation and/or interpreting classrooms) or at
more advanced ones (e.g. professional interpreting or translation), is
central to T&I. A great deal of research has focused on quality in
theoretical terms, such as adequacy and acceptability. However, little
empirical research has been conducted on measuring translator and
interpreter competence and performance, assessing the translation process,
or determining the quality of final target language products. This book
will include a collection of papers which explore issues of testing and
assessment in translation and interpreting across languages and settings
(including university classrooms, research settings, the private sector,
and professional associations), with a focus on both processes and products.
The main purpose of this collective volume is to provide insights into
translation and interpreting measures currently being researched and
implemented in educational and professional settings. Contributing authors
will provide high-quality research, industry, and practice manuscripts on
testing and assessment. Topics will deal with measures that have been
produced and implemented in educational settings, such as process
evaluation approaches, achievement testing, testing for program admission,
and testing for classroom placement. Authors will also explore translation
and interpreting assessment as used by consumers (e.g. field testing and
translation quality control), and by professional associations that offer
Intended Audience: Researchers and academicians; translator and interpreter
trainers and educators; translation and interpreting professional
organizations; professionals in the private and public sector.
This book will host original papers on all aspects of translation and
interpreting testing and assessment. Submissions must not duplicate work
that any of the authors has published elsewhere or submitted in parallel to
any other conference or workshop with proceedings.
Possible topics include (but are not limited to):
The construct of translation/interpreting competence and its measurement
Assessment of translation/interpreting performance
Assessment of translation/interpreting products
The development of measurement tools
Validity/reliability in T&I testing
Materials development/selection for T&I testing
T&I rubrics
Grader selection/training
The role of graders
Grader training
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit a 2 to 3 page proposal
abstract (approximately 500 words) on or before February 11, 2008. The
abstract will clearly explain the mission and concerns of the proposed
chapter, as well as detail the main argument, theoretical/analytical
framework, data collection, study site, etc.
Authors will be notified by February 29, 2008 about the status of their
submissions and will be sent chapter organizational guidelines. Complete
manuscripts are expected to be submitted by April 30, 2008. This book will
be published by John Benjamins Publishing Company in the ATA Monograph series.

With virtually any Doomsday scenario, the puerh-loving people of the world would most likely face a severe shortage of puerh tea through devastation or a major disruption in distribution. Without it, many lovers of puerh tea would find even mere existence unbearable.
Therefore, I think it would be prudent to find an optimum place on our planet to store puerh, for safe keeping and posterity, just in case the unthinkable happens. But where to store the best tea the world has to offer and which ones would they be?
There are numerous seedbanks/doomsday vaults around the globe, but which ones would be the most likely to insure that the best recipes of puerh survived?
You can rule out the latest Doomsday Vault up in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, Norway as the temperature of that vault would be much to cold. Doomsday/seedvaults in places like the mid-east would probably not be suitable either due to low humidity or currently, in imperialistic vogue, mlitary invasion.
So what seed vault would best serve the needs of puerh storage so that in the event of nuclear holocaust, or worse, at least those who survive won't have to rebuild the world without it?

About Us: <Over Raided> is a semi-hardcore raiding guild on US-Stormrage that was officially created in Mists of Pandaria. Our goal has always been to find the fine line between hardcore raiding and still having fun and enjoying each other's company. We take our raids seriously and do not waste time, but that doesn't stop us from joking around with one another during raid. We have a very friendly (note: we are not exactly family-friendly) atmosphere that has kept people around. One thing we are proud of as a guild is that we have a very low turnover rate and many loyal members who have stuck with us from the beginning. We are currently looking for people with similar goals who can attend raids consistently and who can meet the expectations required of mythic raiders.

If you are an exceptional player who cannot make the hustle and bustle of a 3, 4, or even 5 night a week guild, then we are the guild for you. Exceptional applicants will be considered regardless of current needs.
Almost Heroes - Area 52
Mythic 2 Night Raiding | 8 Hour Guild | Split Runs
7/7M -> 1/3M (Pre-Nighthold)
Raid Times: (CST)
Sunday: 9pm-1am
Monday: 9pm-1am
Formed in December 2015
HFC: 10/13M - US 1300, Realm 34 (3 raidweeks spent in Mythic)
About Almost Heroes:
We believe in pushing content at a pace that is comfortable but still competitive. By the end of Nighthold progression, we intend to be sub US 50 for 2 day guilds, and unlike most guilds that you will see in the recruitment forums, we are going to do what it takes to get there. When you join Almost Heroes, you can expect to fully clear each tier.
Our definition of hardcore raiding is making the most out of our time together. Since we only raid 8 hours each week, it is up to each member to come completely prepared for the fights that we'll be working on. Raiders are expected to be highly self-motivated, and willing to find out the latest theorycraft data on their classes. Raiders should always be pushing themselves to improve with each raid week, and should never be satisfied with their performance.
Every raider is required to have at least one raid-ready alt that they can play just as well as their main for split runs and/or better comp selections. Your alt must also cover the same role as your main. For example, healer/healer, tank/tank, etc. We assist in gearing these alts through our main runs.
Current Roster Needs for Emerald Nightmare:
Ranged DPS:
-Shadow Priest
All exceptional players are encouraged to apply regardless of what we're currently recruiting
We do not recruit for the bench, if your application is accepted it means that we believe that there is a spot that can be earned, unless we mention otherwise on your application.
All applications are handled on our website. When submitted, check back on it often, we'll be asking you questions and will follow up with you through it. Put time and effort on your application, it's our first (and often only) impression of you. Make it count!

A report of shoplifting at Kohl's department store led to the arrest of two Colorado Springs men on suspicion of possessing methamphetamines, cocaine and prescription pills Monday.
According to Cpl. Daniel Pratt, police responded to a call of shoplifting at Kohl's about 10 a.m. As officers went behind the store, a man came running out the back door with an armful of merchandise and was heading for a black SUV. Police ordered the running man to stop and got the driver out of the SUV.
During a vehicle search, police allegedly found 13 grams of methamphetamines, 2 grams of cocaine, 17 hydrocodone tablets, six oxycodone pills, 19 grams of marijuana, numerous plastic bags and a digital scale.
Nicholas Jensen, 27, and Anthony Hockemeyer, 31, were booked into Pueblo County jail on suspicion on charges of possessing schedule II controlled substances and theft.

Microsoft shared details of workarounds that Windows users can implement to protect themselves against exploits targeting a new zero-day vulnerability which allows attackers to steal information from users.
The company confirmed reports of the newly discovered Windows security hole, as well as the fact that both published information and proof-of-concept code made their way into the wild.
According to the software giant, the flaw resides in the MHTML (MIME Encapsulation of Aggregate HTML). Applications such as Internet Explorer leverage MHTML to interpret MIME-formatted requests for content blocks within certain documents that need to be rendered.
Microsoft underlines that despite the fact that the vulnerability was publicly disclosed, it's not aware of any active exploits or attacks against customers. All supported releases of Windows are affected by the 0-day vulnerability.
"The impact of an attack on the vulnerability would be similar to that of server-side cross-site-scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities," explained Angela Gunn, security response communications manager, Trustworthy Computing, Microsoft.
"For instance, an attacker could construct an HTML link designed to trigger a malicious script and somehow convince the targeted user to click it.
"When the user clicked that link, the malicious script would run on the user's computer for the rest of the current Internet Explorer session. Such a script might collect user information (eg., email), spoof content displayed in the browser, or otherwise interfere with the user's experience."
Customers are advised to make their way to Security Advisory 2501696, and get insight into the problem.
Under the Mitigating Factors and Suggested Actions section, the Redmond company has published a list of suggested actions. These are temporary workarounds that customers can implement in order to ensure that any potential exploits would have no impact.
Microsoft is of course working on a patch, but until a security update is available, the software giant will also try to provide an automated Fix It solution for users.
"The workaround we are recommending customers apply locks down the MHTML protocol and effectively addresses the issue on the client system where it exists. We are providing a Microsoft Fix-it package to further automate installation," Gunn stated.
"Meanwhile, we are working on a security update to address this vulnerability and we are monitoring the threat landscape very closely."

Skip to comments.Gov. Cuomo says Hollywood exempt from strict New York gun control law
Posted on 02/28/2013 6:33:07 AM PST by cyn
New York sought to combat violence by rushing the nation's toughest gun control measure into law after the Connecticut school shootings that killed 26 people, but the state is now carving out an exemption to make sure movie and TV producers can stage running gun battles on Manhattan streets. ... Hollywood is also a major campaign fundraising stop for New York politicians. ...
He said movies and TV may use fake guns that wouldn't be subject to the new law but the industry wants "certainty." The revised law would allow them to use real weapons without real ammunition.
"There's no reason not to make a change like that to give an industry comfort, especially when it's an industry we want to do business in the state," the governor said.
The law was passed in a flurry of closed-door negotiations, without public hearings or a three-day review required of bills under the state constitution. The measure was debated, passed and signed within hours...
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
"There's no reason not to make a change like that to give an industry comfort, especially when it's an industry we want to do business in the state," the governor said.Did he really say that? Clearly, some are more equal than others.
Info posted yesterday at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2991945/posts
Did you see this quote, George?
Control for thee, but not for me. Not get back in the bread line peasant.
I think I'm going to make a low budget artistic movie in New York City using fake weapons of mass destruction from aliens(also fake, or maybe just use congress) I wonder if como(tose) would allow that as well.
NY'ers, I was just wondering how much more hypocrisy do you need before you throw the bum out?
We spend a lot of money in the state bringing movie production here, post production here. So obviously we would want to facilitate that, Cuomo said.
Cuomo said the prop firearms [NOTE: real firearms, not replicas] used in films would probably not be classified as an assault weapon.
But people want certainty and theres no reason not to make a change like that, the governor added. Apparently, they have blanks or they have phony magazines or something.
I feel so much safer knowing actors may play with guns. When ya need a cop, call an actor.
It's also comforting to know that no actor has ever shot or been shot, or died in the line of acting.
We The People have been lowered to a rank below actors. Cool.
I want to know what Cuomo is smoking in the smoke free State.
"Need to change your caption, Travis" ping
"Except for cops! or hollywood!"
Hollywood doesn't "need" prop firearms. How many do they need to shoot a deer?
2nd Amendment bump for later.........
"NYers, I was just wondering how much more hypocrisy do you need before you throw the bum out?"
They don't even see the hypocrisy, all they see is the (D) after his name. That's all he needs.
some are more equal than others
Stage Left!
Everyone should join Actor`s Equity or another actors` union and you can carry open in New York city, according to The Cuomonistas
Everyone should join Actor`s Equity or another actors` union and you can carry open in New York city, according to The Cuomonistas
But God forbid, a Kindergartner draws a picture of a gun or brings a water pistol to school!
Really? Someone find the text of the law and find that exemption.
It sounds to me like Cuomo is trying to lead the cops away from himself!
Hey, this turned out well:
Thousands attend Pro-2nd Amendment March, Albany, NY 2-28-13 (Pictures)
That's great! Love the signs. My favorite is "Rebellion Against Tyrants Is Obedience To God - Thomas Jefferson" Dad gum right it is!
I liked "In the face of violent crime, fanatical terrorism, and government tyranny, I will not be disarmed!". But it's a lot of letters to fit onto a poster! It's been a while since I've had to do one.
We spend a lot of money in the state bringing movie production here, post production here. So obviously we would want to facilitate thatWhat a moron. Post production? That's his justification for exempting "the movie industry" (whatever that is) from his boot?
He's full of morony. I'd like to see Cuomo and Biden doing their anti-gun song&tapdance together.
Taxpayers should not spend a dime subsidizing Hollyweird
There were a lot of good ones. No mass produced signs either. Many very strongly worded and to the point. Like the guy who listed all the things he is including "police officer" and "criminal." The latter flatly indicating that he is not and will not comply with the law. I saw at least one MOLON LAVE in there too.
I liked the "Went to bed a law-abiding citizen...woke up a criminal."
I was thinking it was private citizens at their best, faced with a challenge, and look at all the different ways they met it! Next time I want to have a sign on a pole. Most every place I've been w/one have been faced with wind gusts, too; can't think of a good way around that challenge.
Put it on a flag with a rod pocket at the top (maybe at the bottom too), and have the flag held extended by a fiberglass rod or a curtain rod.
I know what you mean. I took my Mom to the very first Tea Party rally here where strong wind in the spring (and fall and winter) is a constant. I just grabbed the flag and pole we put out on the deck to take with us. A 3'X5' flag. I had no idea how much sail power 3'X5' of cloth has. I DO NOW! LOL
Hey Cuomo! "NOBODY needs 10 rounds to shoot a MOVIE!!!
The Commando Rochester Tea Party
I led the march from the park we were in to the Main St. Bridge over the Genesee River, for a ceremonial tea dump into the river, and wind was really kicking up!
Our first TEA Party was on April 15th '09 in our very small town. Probably about 200 people showed up over the two hour time it took place. Quite a few considering the size of our town.
I thought I was going to have my little bitty ole mother hold the flag while I took pics. It was all I could do to hang on to it! At 81 it was the first protest/demonstration she had ever attended.
Say, I notice you're flying the Mad Jack Rackham on your blog/forum page. Take a look at my profile page. I have a full-sized MJR flying off of my deck now. GMTA! I've got ya beat on the pony tail though. Mine is more than twice as long. Last hair cut was in '93. heh
My wife trims my pony tail up, once or twice a year. I've been growing mine since '91, but was a longhair in previous iterations going back to the early 70's. When I enlisted in the USAF in '74, I had to stay in regs through '79 when I got discharged.
My dog is a beer hound!
I had earlier iterations of long hair in my high school days too. In the late '70s-'80s I was a carpenter and shorter hair seemed a safer-easier style for the work.
My Mom's dental hygienist suggested to me that I donate my hair to Locks Of Love. They make wigs for kids who have cancer. She grows hers out, donates it and grows it out again. A fine idea and something I would certainly support. Better than tossing it in the trash. There was something in her tone that rubbed me the wrong way though.
Next visit, six months later, she brought it up again and pushed it harder with comments about how long hair is a PITA when it gets so long. It isn't to me, when it's in the way I throw it down the back of my shirt. Her attitude really annoyed me that time.
Then my cousin came out here for a visit with his wife. 0bama 2012 sticker on their car. The first thing she said to me was that I should donate my hair to Locks Of Love. She is a nurse so I could see how two health care workers have that in mind. But the bigger connection was that they're both (hygienist and cousin's wife) 0bamaBot libs. The attitude was clear to me; I had something they thought someone else deserved more than I do. When I saw that that was how their minds were ticking it really burned me up.
Don't get me wrong; I couldn't think of a better reason to cut my hair or a better thing to do with it. When I cut it that's where it will go if LoL wants it. Afterward I might even go to a barber and say "high and tight, Marine Corps style." Hasn't been that short since I was 8 yrs old. But to see that attitude of "you should give what you have to someone else" makes me sick. Friggin' liberals can't even wait until I'm shipped off to a camp to start picking over my body and possessions for 'the greater good!'

Blood SportFrom the mountain-running circuit in the early 2000s to ultrarunning the next decade, Anita Ortiz has dominated. But how does a school-teaching, 47-year-old mother of four do it against much younger athletes?
Ortiz takes a break from a muddy training run on the Third Gulch Trail, near Eagle, Colorado. Photo by David Clifford.
This article originally appeared in our August 2011 issue.
It was not just that Tim Twietmeyer did not expect Anita Ortiz to be leading the 2009 Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run. That would have been forgivable. It was that Twietmeyer had never even heard of Anita Ortiz until she broke away.
He will be the first to admit he does not follow the sport religiously, despite winning Western States five times and finishing it 25 times. But he is still heavily involved with the event, and knows the contenders every year. Somehow, Ortiz had eluded his radar.
Twietmeyer saw Ortiz in person three times during the race, and each time his awe—and bewilderment—grew. Finally, someone relayed a short bio on the tiny blonde with the intense stare: First-time 100-miler from the alpine desert of Eagle, Colorado. Forty-five years old. Ex-mountain runner.
Twietmeyer knows enough to expect surprises at Western States, but the 2009 women's field was stacked, and included Krissy Moehl, who had run the race in 2005 as part of the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning and paced it numerous times, three-time runner-up Bev Anderson-Abbs and defending champion, Nikki Kimball (three-time winner). Ortiz didn't care. She dropped them all.
"She made it look, I don't want to say easy, but she was pulling away from the field," Twietmeyer recalls. "We were wondering if she could keep it up."
Ortiz won by more than an hour, running the fifth-fastest women's time ever: 18:24:17. And she did it despite getting lost twice in two hours with two different pacers, adding an estimated 25 to 30 minutes to her odyssey. Moehl finished second, Anderson-Abbs took third and, ending her reign at Western States, Kimball settled for fourth. A number of people called Ortiz's win the top performance of 2009, including Kami Semick, who was named Runner of the Year by UltraRunning magazine that year. "You don't expect a first-timer to just roll in and dominate," says Twietmeyer.
Accordingly, Ortiz received a fair swirl of attention after the race. More people found out about her background: how she is a married mother of four and a full-time, elementary-school teacher; how she wakes up at 3 a.m. to run in frigid winter darkness; how she works out three times a day.
Feeding the hype, Ortiz kept winning races. She went into last year's Golden Gate Dirty Thirty 50K in the Rocky Mountain foothills outside of Denver, Colorado, in prime condition. But 12 miles into the race, while navigating a precarious rock outcropping, she swung one leg out to avoid the rocks. Her other ankle twisted, "and I yanked my meniscus clean off the bone," she says. "I heard it."
The injury was just shy of catastrophic. But Ortiz, who counts an extremely high pain tolerance among her defining traits, did not think to stop racing—even that day. "The pain was horrible," she says, "but I'd never had an injury that bad. So I was thinking, what could it be? Probably just a pulled muscle. Really badly pulled. And I was, like, you don't quit for a pulled muscle!"
Literally sweating from the pain, Ortiz still ran 18 more miles. "I was lying in riverbeds to cool it off and using sticks to support me," she says of the ordeal. "Oh, my God, it was awful. Sometimes if I did not land completely straight over my heel, I would just collapse. And then I'd have to crawl back up to a standing position. The pain would just reverberate through my body, and I'd stand there for a minute until it subsided just a little bit. Then I'd be, like, OK, you can go."
Not only did Ortiz still win the race, she set a course record, crossing the line four minutes ahead of Darcy Africa and 16 minutes ahead of defending champion Helen Cospolich.
Afterward, Ortiz had a knee-rebuilding surgery and sat out the rest of the 2010 season. When she finally started to run again this winter, she had to shorten her stride and straighten her posture to compensate for her compromised knee. She claims she will never be full again, that her "killer attitude" is gone. And yet, the darnedest thing: just like before the meniscus tear, Ortiz cannot stop winning races.
Before returning to Dirty Thirty in June, Ortiz had won four straight trail races against stout fields, including two 50-milers on back-to-back weekends in April. At the second of those, California's Santa Barbara Endurance Race, Ortiz beat the men's winner by more than an hour and finished in a double-take time of 6:47—an 8:08-per-mile pace on a course with 18,000 feet of climbing.
Improbably, in a sport with ever more young stars and science behind it, Ortiz appears to be getting faster despite tearing ligaments off of bones and nearing age 50. As this issue went to the printer, she was preparing for a return to Western States and a showdown with ultrarunning's hottest star, 32-year-old Ellie Greenwood.

The 15-track album sees The Tongue coming into his own as artist and collaborator, articulating a positive vision beyond the confines of modern Australian hip hop. From the opening track the listener can hear this development, as the gorgeous soulful vocal of Ngaiire illuminates the song 'Bittersweet'. From there we traverse introspection to self-assuredness, religion to love, and the allure of clear perspective over confusion.
The guests on the record indicate the standing enjoyed by The Tongue, with luminaries like Suffa from Hilltop Hoods on the song 'Champion Sound'; in-demand youngsters such as Illy and Tom Scott (Homebrews,NZ); and contemporaries Jimmy Nice (Spit Syndicate) and Thundamentals joining an impressive tracklist. The Tongue holds court though, weaving in and out like a true master of ceremonies, dictating proceedings with clever wordplay and flow.

At intervals; I'll be adding profiles of some of the folk in the Cub's camp, trying for spots on the roster....
Orlando Vegas
Lefty pitcher
6 foot 4; 215 pounds
Vegas is a 34 year old pitcher who's been around the track a few times.
He began his career as a starter, mostly for losing teams, till at age 26 he blew out a elbow and required Tommy John repair. Coming back; he was turned into a set-up man. After a series of consistent if unspectacular seasons, at age 30 his elbow seized up again and it was Tommy John, round 2. He fought back to set-up again but his last couple seasons have been all over the place: he just hasn't been able to find consistency.
Rumor has it manager Gavin is going to go against the grain in his use of Vegas. He's wondering if he can use him in the long-reliever/spot starter role, though outside observers see this as a looming disaster; being as the cub's minor league system has pretty much run dry with top-notch pitching.
They will not have much wiggle-room if injuries begin....

December 5, 2005 WIC Update
SUBJECT: Sites needed for University of Alabama's Annual Intensive Nutrition Course - June 7, 2006
SUBJECT: Sites needed for University of Alabama's Annual Intensive Nutrition Course - June 7, 2006
SUBJECT: Non-discrimination Statement
SUBJECT: Breast Pump and Kits Acknowledgment
SUBJECT: Electric Breast Pumps
SUBJECT: Questions and Answers from the Program Updates Training (Will be coming later in week)
SUBJECT: Examples of Frequent Monitor Findings (Will be coming later in week)
- Sites are Needed to download the 2006 Annual Pediatric Update from the University of Alabama at Birmingham on Wednesday, June 7th from 12:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, WICNS, Nutrition Training Institute is sponsoring this educational opportunity: When Nutritional and Activity Changes Are Not Enough: Weight Loss Surgery in Teens.
This satellite training is usually held at health offices throughout the state. Registered dietitians, nutritionists, WIC agencies, and other health care professionals will strengthen their knowledge of bariatric or weight loss surgery in children. This teleconference will address interventions to possibly prevent the need for surgery, review the criteria for surgery, and examine the nutritional and psychological concerns before and after surgery. This is an annual pediatric update conducted by the University of Alabama at Birmingham. They will arrange for all continuing education for Dietitians and Nurses. Individual registration pamphlets will be available in the Spring. Please see the attached site registration form for details or contact Michele Bailey at (573) 751-6183 with questions.
- Please note the revisions to the Civil Rights statement. Although the statement remains the same, the mailing address and telephone numbers have changed. The new federal contact information will need to be reflected on all printed material as follows:
"In accordance with Federal law and U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, this institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. To file a complaint of discrimination, write to USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Ave. SW, Washington, DC, 20250-9410, or call (800) 795-3272 (voice) or (202) 720-6382 (TDD). Persons with disabilities who require alternative means for communication of program information (Braille, large print, audiotape, etc.) should contact USDA's TARGET Center at (202) 720-2600 (voice and TDD)."
LWPs can continue using any current supply of forms and educational materials which contain the old information to assist with the cost of reprinting. However, once depleted all new or reprinted material must contain the new information as stated above. As a reminder, the non-discrimination statement must be printed in the same size font as the printed Program material. In addition the LWPS are still allowed to use one of the two abbreviated non-discrimination statements as follows:
"WIC is an equal opportunity provider." or "This institution is an equal opportunity provider."
- By now you should all have your new Medela breast pumps, both electric and manual pumps as well as the conversion kits and the double pump kits that DHSS provided. Please fill out the attached form to let us know what pumps and kits you received. We need this information so that we can verify that each LWP received their order.
- The State WIC Office has received some inquires and concerns regarding the electric breast pumps that were sent to each local WIC provider. If your intention is to return the pumps that you received, we ask that you keep them until the state staff has an opportunity to provide some information and guidance in assisting agencies in developing an electric breast pump program. You will be seeing this correspondence in the near future. If you have any questions before then, please contact Kathy Mertzlufft at 1-800-392-8209 or email@example.com.

How to minimize the impact of artificial light at night
The dark-sky movement is a collection of worldwide efforts aimed at minimizing the impact of artificial light at night. Here are some ways to participate in the movement: Use only the lighting that you need, including inside your own home. �During our tours, folks are pleasantly surprised at how easily they adapt to the dark,� says Sean O�Brien, who leads astronomy programs at Sky Meadows State Park in Delaplane, Va. �Often they�d never had the chance to find out how little light they really need to see.� Join the International Dark-Sky Association. You don�t have to be a professional astronomer to become part of the movement. By joining, you can commit to more thoughtful use of light at night, receive updates from the organization, and participate in local chapter activities. Work with your community on simple fixes. Often, the sources of light pollution are unneeded light or incorrectly installed or aimed fixtures, and many people are unaware of the costs and effects. �Lots of commercial districts are beginning to ask themselves questions like, �Do we really need every single light on in empty parking lots all night?�� O�Brien says. Lobby for health reasons. Sky glow exacerbates the effects of air pollution because it suppresses the functioning of a naturally occurring air-cleansing compound called nitrate radical, according to a 2010 study by the National Oceanic Atmospheric Association. Educate others. Homeowners associations, city councils and company committees are natural outlets to voice concerns and offer suggestions. A good source for science-based information is International Dark-Skies Association�s website. Understand safety issues. Local and personal �safety� lighting configurations can be counterproductive and actually blind us to intruders. �More light doesn�t necessarily equal more safe,� O�Brien says. �Uneven illumination sometimes makes it easier for someone to hide.� Stay optimistic. Unlike many other environmental issues today, society can minimize or eliminate light pollution rather quickly. �I can�t think of anybody who loses,� O�Brien says. �And we�ll get back the kind of night sky our ancestors would�ve taken for granted.� Learn more about the Dark-Sky Movement Brought to you by: American Profile

About the Authors: Maria Otero serves as Under Secretary for Democracy and Global Affairs and Michael Posner serves as Assistant Secretary for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor.
In the world of U.S. foreign policy, it has been a big week for human rights. In Oslo, President Obama accepted the Nobel Peace Prize saying, "Only a just peace based upon the inherent rights and dignity of every individual can be truly lasting." And on Monday, Secretary Clinton delivered a strong affirmation of the United States' dedication to "making human rights a human reality," using the complementary pillars of human rights, democracy, and development.
The Secretary's speech shed light on several ways in which the United States is advancing the "human rights agenda for the 21st century."
Engaging for results— Secretary Clinton made it clear that the United States is not engaging bi-laterally and multilaterally with the sole aim of "making nice." Even in our most difficult relationships, engagement is a way to demonstrate our willingness to make progress and gain a better understanding of the incentives and pressures that affect our negotiating partners' positions.
Strength and success based on truth and fact— Our commitment to human rights is universal, as is our commitment to truth and accountability. This means not only critiquing the shortcomings of others, but doing so with the confidence that we are holding ourselves to the same standards. A commitment to truth also means that U.S. policy, like our democracy programs, is founded on facts and experience, not conjecture or ideology. Our lessons from the past inform our understanding of the linkages between democracy, development, and human rights.
Leveraging two track efforts— The United States is engaging both governments and civil society. We have challenging relations with some governments, but we share common cause and purpose with all people. As we pursue full scale diplomacy in our bilateral relationships, we know that support for civil society organizations is crucial to long-term progress.
Global scope, global partners— Our human rights efforts will be focused and strategic. But, a universal commitment should not apply in selected times and places. So we will devote attention to those places that present the most daunting and discouraging human rights challenges. Meanwhile, we will sustain efforts to secure long-term gains around the world, preventing backsliding where progress has been made.
After the Secretary concluded her formal remarks at Georgetown University on Monday, students were invited to ask questions. A young woman asked about the role of artists in advancing human rights. The Secretary's answer reminds us of the human potential that drives our commitment:
"[A]rtists can bright to light in a gripping, dramatic way some of the challenges we face… I think that artists both individually and through their works can illustrate better than any speech I can give or any government policy we can promulgate that the spirit that lives within each of us, the right to think and dream and expand our boundaries, is not confined, no matter how hard they try, by any regime anywhere in the world. There is no way that you can deprive people from feeling those stirrings inside their soul. And artists can give voice to that. They can give shape and movement to it. And it is so important in places where people feel forgotten and marginalized and depressed and hopeless to have that glimmer that there is a better future, that there is a better way that they just have to hold onto."
Kathryn M. in Alabama writes:
Good morning! I have searched your page and not found any other method of contacting individually. I would like to ask why our country is still participating in the Copenhagen Summit following the speaches given lambasting our way of life and the standing ovation they received. If other countries find our capitalism so awful, they should be utilizing THEIR methods of gaining income to cover their needs. I understand the health needs of truly under-developed countries need to be met, but I'll be darned if I understand why we are still participating in something where the other participants can't stand our way of life and relish in stating that publically. Perhaps you could enlighten me?
Best regards
Joe in Tennessee writes:
While I agree, unless you have felt the sting of hypocrisy from minority inequality, fiscal inequality here to the actuality of Religious persecution which still exists, I do understand why many people and countries feel as they do.
Without doubt we are the best country to reside in, rich or poor; but, the examples set from the base of what we represent are often the difference we do not understand. It is the starting points which represent example. Any premise needs a starting point: If you were a communist country and now have some freedom of speech, you have moved up the scale considerably more than an American minority or person on the streets who has lost their job and home in an established society of Democratic representation…that is what hurts America, not our government, not our leaders, but our example. Just open any major paper in America, what do you see?
Business as practiced in America the last two decades is the largest single detriment to our good nature. Our banking system is supposed to operate on Trust. A violation of trust took place which has singlehandedly hurt all countries which depend on monetary circulation and lending by fair practice. This has provided to a great extent for the tangential negative views of the American Way of Life now seen worldwide.
America still sets the example of freedom and capitalism, but now has to find methods to put a playing field back together for all our people in house yet still maintain a strong presence of protection for democracy out of our borders. It is quite an undertaking…and pray God provides our leadership with the answers so needed at this point of our Great History.
The world has changed considerably and many of our old allies no longer need our fiscal or military aid. Some have moved to other agreements with countries which once were their enemies, but provide are more economically valid to their situation as stands today.
You are correct, Americans care more , so more, have more freedoms, but it is all premised on a SOUND FOUNDATION, not what exist presently…and what we all forget is that much of the world was at our junction a decade ago and it was America who helped many through their fiscal problems.
Insecurity breeds hasty conclusions…
by the way: While past due, happy Chanukah
Ron in New York writes:
The U.S. should be the standard-bearer on Human Rights around the world. Clearly, our nation was born of a desire for economic, religious and social freedoms. Extending those freedoms and rights globally, strenthens our national enjoyment of them. The goal for America is to feel at home all over the world, and visitors to U.S. should feel safe and welcome as well.

City to receive $3.5M grant for 23/Saratoga overpass
MARSHALL – They saved some of the best news for last at the Marshall City Council meeting on Tuesday. Toward the end of the regular agenda, Marshall Public Works Director Glenn Olson said he had gotten word the city has been selected to receive a $3.5 million state grant to improve safety at the intersection of Saratoga Street and Minnesota Highway 23.
The money, from the Minnesota Department of Transportation's Corridor Investment Management Strategy (CIMS) program, would go toward construction of an pedestrian overpass bridge at the Saratoga/23 intersection. Olson said MnDOT would be formally announcing this year's grant recipients in the near future.
"This is great news," said Marshall Mayor Bob Byrnes. The overpass had been a goal of the Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce Transportation Committee for the past few years.
The CIMS program focuses on state highway projects that improve the quality of life, economy or environment in Minnesota. This year, MnDOT said a total of $30 million in grant funding was available for projects throughout the state. Olson said that makes Marshall's award a significant one.
Marshall City Administrator Ben Martig said there would need to be some additional financial planning for the overpass project, as the grant would have a local matching component. However, it was still a good thing for the city.
"This is a huge award," Martig said.
Earlier in the meeting, a request for a permit to have five people rooming in a Marshall house prompted some discussion by council members. James and Michele Engels purchased a home on South Bruce Street as a residence for their son and four other young men while they attended Southwest Minnesota State University. City ordinances require a conditional use permit to have more than two boarders in a single-family house.
Michele Engels said she and her husband had been told, incorrectly, that the city would allow four roomers in a house. When they learned otherwise, she said, they applied for a conditional use permit.
Olson said the Marshall Planning Commission recommended approval of the permit, with conditions including that the tenants of the house not park on the street or the lawn, and that the permit expire after five years, or when the Engelses sell the house.
Council member Glenn Bayerkohler said he was concerned about the precedent that granting the permit would set. Having roomers in the house could also cause parking problems or be disruptive to the neighborhood, he said.
"I don't think I could support this," Bayerkohler said.
Council member Mike Boedigheimer disagreed. Many Marshall families with older children have multiple cars parked in front of their homes, he said. The only difference in this case would be that the residents are boarders.
Marshall City Attorney Dennis Simpson said the Engelses were also different in that they asked for the city's permission to have roomers. The city has often had to deal with people sharing dwellings who did not apply for permits, he said. Council member John DeCramer added that the Engelses appeared to be responsible owners for the property.
Council members voted to 6-1 in favor of approving the permit. Bayerkohler cast the dissenting vote.
The council also heard and approved a report of the city's 2012 audit. Kyle Meyers of the public accounting firm Abdo, Eick and Meyers said the city's general fund had a year-end balance of about $8.5 million in 2012. The general fund had a 50 percent reserve, he said. Meyers said the year-end general fund balance was the result of the city having higher revenues and lower expenses than originally budgeted.
"Most (municipal) funds were in pretty good shape," he said.
An online survey to measure Marshall city performance picked up some more respondents last week, although at 158 participants, numbers were down from last year. Marshall city intern Kyle Box presented council members with the survey results.
Survey respondents rated most city services favorably, Box said. The exceptions were in the areas of street maintenance and snow removal. More than half of the surveys turned in rated the condition of Minnesota Highway 19, Minnesota Highway 68 and U.S. Highway 59 in Marshall as "poor," Box said. Ratings for the quality of municipal street conditions and snow removal were also slipping compared to last year, he said.
The council also accepted a bid of $7,000 from D&G Excavating to demolish a vacant house on the corner of West Main Street and 7th Street. The house had been critically damaged after a tree fell on it in the July 1, 2011, storm. Olson said the residents of the house have been relocated, but the property's owner, Larry Hyatt, retains ownership of the lot.

Bradley, a 10-year-old, gave his mother CPR after their car rolled.
Stories this photo appears in:
Heroic boy saves mother
Fire department award goes to quick-thinking boy after accident
A terrifying accident could have produced the most dispiriting of tragedies. Instead, it produced a most inspiring young hero — 10-year-old Bradley Mitchell who emerged from the crumbled wreck to rescue his two younger siblings, flagged down a motorist to get help, then went back to search for his mother — who had been ejected from the car. Once he found her, he gave her CPR — and saved her life. So when local and Valley firefighters heard the little hero was suffering from nightmares about the December accident on Highway 87, they staged a ceremony to honor the fourth-grader for his life-saving actions.

U.S. Paralympians finish Nordic nationals strong
Two U.S. Paralympic Nordic Team athletes, along with more than 20 American athletes, are preparing for the 2013 International Paralympic Committee Nordic Skiing World Championships this week at the U.S. Adaptive Nordic Nationals in Soldier Hollow, Utah.
A chilly Finland found the Paralympians for the season opening IPC World Cup event. Since, the athletes have advanced to Utah, to continue their success.
John Farra, high performance director for U.S. Paralympics Nordic Skiing, proudly stated how this competition has grown from Nordic competitions in the past.
"The athletes are doing great, but the most impressive part is the increase in participants," he said. "We have 30 American athletes and athletes from three other nations competing. China, Mongolia and Canada have joined the championship."
In addition to new athletes like Tatyana McFadden who are excelling in competitive Nordic skiing, the returning talent is also doing well at nationals and beyond. U.S. Navy Lt. Dan Cnossen (Jamestown, Mich.) finished with two Top 10 results including a career best fifth place result which brought him within 10 seconds of a podium at the world cup in Vuokatti, Finland.
Also in Finland, Vancouver 2010 Paralympic Winter Games bronze medalist Andy Soule (Pearland, Texas), a U.S. Army veteran, claimed two Top 10 results, and hitting his targets with precision by going 9 for 10 in the sprint biathlon event earning an eighth place result, followed by hitting 19 of 20 targets in the long biathlon event.
Over the three cross country races and one biathlon race at Soldier Hollow, the two had some impressive highlights as they build towards the 2013 world championships in February in Solleftea, Sweden.
"Soule and Cnossen look great, but this is just a warm up for them preparing for the IPC World Cup next week in Cable," said Farra.
Farra encouraged people to look forward to Soule and Cnossen receiving well-earned medals and making podiums on the world cup circuit.
"I'm also very excited about all of the female athletes who have joined our team. We have a group of young and vibrant women in sit ski, so it will be great to see how they progress," Farra concluded.
The nationals end Wednesday with men and women's biathlon sprint standing, visually impaired and sit ski.
Moving forward to snowier slopes, U.S. Paralympics will announce Tuesday the 16 athletes who will head to Cable, Wis., for the world cup Jan. 13-20.
