D/W OD is so intricate, yet I'm not feeling it yet. The audience didn't seem into it during the program, though a rousing applause at the end.
WOWWWW!!!!!! I absolutely love this routine, just like the movie, fabulous, can easily see these two as Olympic Champions. For me personally they have the best OD I have seen throughout the season ~ bar none!
p.s. I sooooo wish that Emily & Evan would take the next step & do something like this, just as Jeremy Abbott left his coach of 10 yrs. to go to Yuka Sato, took the huge risk (especially during the Olympic Season), and oh my oh my oh my oh my....it's like seeing John Curry again....

And they easily blow the field away & go into 1st place!!!!!! WELL DESERVED, WELL DESERVED!!!!
Wow, Meryl & Charlie
The speed, intricate steps & lifts and skating so close together.
They are just wonderful.
Only one thing that I do not care much is Charlie's cosume.
From the distance, it does not look Indian enough to me.
D/W's OD is so well designed, the choreography is amazing, I can't believe V/M never got anything like that.
And Charlie's costume's subdued color and design help Meryl's amazing costume stand out that much more. IMO, together they are very effective.Costume is very indian, but not his hair
Love them!
A beautiful and unique OD from D/W.
You can tell they're starting to draw out the expression and hold out the movement in some places but the music is extremely fast and unforgiving if they miss the timing. They seemed the tiniest bit out of sync with one another in some of the movement- Meryl and Charlie seemed almost 1/8th of a beat off each other in places- you can see it in the slow mo of the twizzles.
But overall, good job and you can really tell the judges really like them- the scores with even the smallest of mis-timing between the two of them were amazing!! So far this OD scores the highest out of other competitors this season. If they continue on and there are no mishaps, they may just win this segment of the competition even at Olympics or Worlds. (Though we haven't seen either of the D/S's yet.)
Kerr & Kerr were second after the CD at TEB but went down to the third after the OD and ended up with the third overall. I'm glad that they are holding onto the second position here in NHK. I hope they get the silver medal this time.

Another week in the NHL season is now in the can and as expected Phil Kessel leads the league in points, Nikolai Khabilbulin has the lowest GAA among goalies and the Oilers are in first place in the West. No, you haven't accidentally stumbled through a worm hole into a parallel universe.
This is NationRadio.
The first guest this week on NationRadio is Danny Gray of TheLeafsNation who is positively beside himself to talk about the 7-2-1 Toronto Maple Leafs. Other topics of justified humble bragging include the strong play of Phil Kessel and Dion Phaneuf.
Next up on the docket in the Court of Lowetide is a guy who knows a thing or two about a thing or two Kirk Luedeke. Regional scout for Red Line Report; Leudeke and Lowetide give a review of the 2011 NHL draft as teams decide who stays in the NHL and who returns to junior. The dominance of RNH comes up - surprise of surprises.
Lowetide discusses a variety of topics including the early season performances of the Oilers in this here 2011-12 NHL season.
Jeff Krushell discusses the state of healthiness of the Oilers including the impact of an NHL season's worth of travel time on an NHL team. Krushell and LT also discuss the injury to Gagner as well as concussion problems and their impact on the game.
Ryan Batty from the Copper n Blue has been described by Lowetide as "always (having) a srong opinion and doesn't waiver when it is unpopular." We can't imagine what that would look like but Batty has the gall to come on NationRadio and make a case that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins should have been returned to junior by the Edmonton Oilers.
Lowetide freestyles for several minutes over the classic Wutang Hit "C.R.E.A.M."
wayne didn't FIST himself again today?
Oilers make it 5 in a row tonight
wayne didn't FIST himself again today?
Wanye was looking for snazzy pictures so that you would be dazzled via the ears AND the eyes.
Is segment 3 meant to be only 2:04 long?
Bizarro Superman looks like Reggie from the Archie comics. You know, like, if I'd ever read them.
On another note, it's nice to see Wanye turn this rig around so quickly. He's like his own Convoy.
Is segment 3 meant to be only 2:04 long?
Yeah, I babbled forever on the first two segments. Everyone kept saying interesting stuff. Jerks. :-)

LT: Did Batty make one compelling argument during his interview with you to back up his position? I didn't hear one.
LT: Did Batty make one compelling argument during his interview with you to back up his position? I didn't hear one.
The main thrust of his argument surrounded the burning of the entry level contract early. It's the same basic concern as a year ago with Hall, and although I don't agree with it there's certainly a case to be made.
Ryan made some secondary suggestions as to development, contracts, etc, but the main one (or at least this is my understanding) surrounds the best time to burn the entry level seasons.

In the case of a first overall pick like Nugent-Hopkins, who has shown the ability to play at the NHL level, I thought your baseball analogy -- pushing a player as far along as he can go as long as he shows he's able to handle it -- was easily the strongest point made.
I get where Batty and those who'd rather put off ELCs when possible are coming from, but I don't think that approach best fits with where this team is at right now and with Hall and Nugent-Hopkins. What makes perfect sense in theory doesn't always work best with different circumstances and players. One size does not necessarily fit all.
Without Hall and RNH, what does Tambellini have to sell to fans right now after five years out of the playoffs? That's not a minor consideration. Neither are the potential benefits of giving the kids a chance to develop together.
Robin: Yeah, agreed. I think sending him down when he'd proven himself to a certain level (and RNH has been damn good) has way more negatives than positives.
Remember when Earl Weaver put Cal Ripken at SS? Smart baseball people thought he'd gone crazy.
Worked out not bad, though. :-) I think keeping RNH was the only decision based on the impact he had during his audition.

Skip to comments.Saint Peter As Seen by His Successor (extraordinary document from B16 on his preaching and papacy)
Posted on 06/02/2006 9:56:29 AM PDT by NYer
ROMA, June 1, 2006 – In a St. Peter's Square that is always extremely crowded with pilgrims from all nations, each Wednesday Benedict XVI continues the cycle of catechesis he began last March 18, on "the relationship between Christ and the Church as considered beginning with the experience of the apostles." The continuity is interrupted only rarely: for example, on Wednesday, May 31, the pope dedicated the audience to a reflection summarizing his trip to Poland a few days earlier.
The theme assigned to the cycle is revealing of pope Joseph Ratzinger's intention to clarify the essence and foundations of the Christian faith. From this point of view, the encyclical "Deus Caritas Est" and these catecheses on the Church appear to be closely connected.
But whom do these catecheses really reach? Certainly, the pilgrims present in St. Peter's Square. More than his predecessor, Benedict XVI has the capacity to obtain an attentive hearing. The proof can be found just by mingling with the crowd. From the beginning to the end of the pope's remarks, the attention of each language group is generally focused and constant. As a rule, Benedict XVI reads the catechesis in Italian. This is then followed by summaries in the other major languages.
But what about those outside the circle of his listeners who are physically present? The pope's catecheses reach few people, very few. Apart from some specialized Catholic outlets, almost none of the media retransmit them. And one can understand their reasoning. It is unthinkable that a scholarly lesson on apostolic succession or on the relationship between Scripture and Tradition would be newsworthy enough to merit being presented again in its entirety, which would be the only adequate way.
But the limitation is also to be found in the system of communication surrounding Benedict XVI. This is the case with the Vatican website. Precisely where one would expect to find the complete text of each catechesis in the principal languages, the shortcomings are obvious.
In the section that reports on all of the pope's activities, the complete translation of each Wednesday catechesis in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German is posted online after long delays: not less than two weeks after the pope has delivered it.
For example, the second of the two catecheses reproduced below, which the pope delivered on May 24, is still not available in a Vatican-issued English translation. One has to turn to the international news agency Zenit for their translation.
Why republish here these two catecheses? Because they are exemplary instances of pope Ratzinger's preaching, and in particular of that form of his preaching least known to the general public. Because they are an extraordinary document on his way of being pope.
Both are dedicated to the apostle Peter. And they will be followed – according to assurances from Benedict XVI himself – by profiles of the other apostles, "one by one."
The first of these catecheses was delivered on Wednesday, May 17. The second came on the following Wednesday, May 24. They are linked together as in a diptych.
Awesome, thank you!
My suggestion the Pope add, "BTW, what I says goes, even for those who refuse my authority" seems not to have been an acceptable turn of phrase.
Thanks for the posting. Do you have any idea where I can find the entire list of Popes from Peter to John Paul II?
It's so hard to keep track of this. I think I'll catch it all when Ignatius Press prints a book!
Dear Suzy Quzy,
Catholic Hierarchy has the list, but only partial date data:
These folks will sell you a wall chart listing all the pontiffs:
Ping to read later
We fail, then try again - even Peter.
Jesus asks Peter the first time: "Simon
do you love me ('agapâs-me')" with this total and unconditional love (cf. John 21:15)? Before the experience of the betrayal, the apostle would certainly have said: "I love you ('agapô-se') unconditionally." Now that he has known the bitter sadness of infidelity, the tragedy of his own weakness, he says with humility: "Lord, I love you ('filô-se')," that is, "I love you with my poor human love." Christ insists: "Simon, do you love me with this total love that I want?" And Peter repeats the answer of his humble human love: "Kyrie, filô-se," "Lord, I love you as I know how to love."
The third time Jesus only says to Simon: "Fileîs-me?", "Do you love me?" Simon understood that for Jesus his poor love, the only one he is capable of, is enough, and yet he is saddened that the Lord had to say it to him in this way. Therefore, he answered: "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you ('filô-se')."
it's sad that those nuances are lost in english. Thank you for posting this. I enjoyed it very much.
God bless Pope Benedict.
As the associated article notes, there are multiple lists which do not entirely agree, especially in the early years. Moreover, there were a number of "anti-popes" installed by rival factions from time to time.
Me too! As Magister says, these two preachings give great insight into Pope Benedict XVI. How truly blessed we are to have him!
I will be in St Peter's Square this Wednesday with my family!!!!!
I have been reading about him, and some things by him. His papacy is such a gift to the Church.
Thank you all so much!!
I am blessed to have found this site. Thank you for making this available.
God Bless
Make sure you bring bottled water and a hat. The weather is very changeable in the square. Also, please make sure you're conservatively dressed. Hard to not wear shorts in the summertime, I know. But the guards won't let you in. No tank tops either. No short skirts. The General Audience pre-program starts around 9:30 AM, so get there around 8 AM. That way, you'll get a great seat. Make sure you get an aisle seat, because the Popemobile goes up and down the aisles. It's a looooong line to get through security so try really hard to get there early.
The Vatican dress code applies to all the churches in Rome.
Lunchtime is from 12 PM to 3 PM when most churches are closed. The patriarchal basilicas stay open, however. If you're in reasonable health, try climbing the San Pietro dome. It's worth every step up. The view is simply unforgettable. Then you'll be able to see Papa's crest formed by plants and flowers.
Enjoy. Take lots of pictures!
I don't know what your itinerary is, but I'd avoid going to the Vatican Museum right after the General Audience. It will be swarmed.
thanks for the great tips
we will have 6 munchkins in tow (and one on the way)
but I think we will be recieving graces the whole time
Wow! Don't forget to extend the prayers of your Freeper family to our great shepherd!
Speaking of which, Papa gives a blessing at the end, so bring your rosaries, or any sacramental or religious items that you'd want to be blessed.
When you do go to the Vatican Museums, head straight for the Sistine Chapel. Then you can take a more leisurely pace through the rest. I'd go to the Pinacoteca next then to the Museo Pia Cristiano. There's a lot to take in.
Have a wonderful trip!! You may want to check out the
blogspot for some excellent tips on navigating Rome and visiting those 'out of the way' churches and chapels, not often found on the mainstream visitor maps. Excellent web site!
Great advice from Carolina.
EWTN televises this 'pre-recorded' segment on Thursday mornings at 7:20am. I'll be scouring the crowds looking for you and your beautiful brood :-)
It's posted right here on FR. I'll send you the link in FReepmail.
You may be interested in checking out this Link.
It has the names of most of the Popes from the 11th and 12th Century onwards right up till the present day along with Documents written by these various Popes.
Check out
(Papal Encyclicals Online)
Thank you!
Pope Benedict is a wonderful teacher, with the gift of being able to explain complicated theological subjects in terms thelay person can easily understand. These are wonderful teachings, and I certainly hope they are compiled in a book.
Pope Benedict's election was the impetus for my finally undergoing instruction and joining the Catholic Church. I as accepted at Easter of this year. The Light of Christ shines from his face, and I feel privileged to have him as the leader of the Church. He is a true blessing.
I am overjoyed for you. As one sister in Christ to another, Welcome home! Praised be Jesus Christ!
We were so blessed to be in the front row. My 4 year old was lifted up to him by one of the security detail and Papa held my boy's face in his hands for a few seconds - and my son was smiling. Can't wait to get the Vatican photos of this.
Rome was a great trip. So very blessed to be able to make such a pilgrimmage. We visited all 4 major basilicas. End of my bragging.
Welcome back! How wonderful that your son was blessed by Papa. Awesome, too, that you got front row seats. When you have time, would you tell us about your trip?
Nothwithstanding, if you do recount your trip on FR, please ping me to it. I miss Rome so much.
That makes two of us.

It was a clean sweep on all levels for the Harrisburg High School volleyball team Tuesday night.
The Bulldog varsity club won in three sets, 22-25, 25-15 and 25-9.
After falling by three points in the first match, Harrisburg head coach Stephanie Ferrell said she liked the fight she saw from her dogs.
"We came out flat in the first game," Ferrell said. "We didn't play well at all, making silly mistakes, but we bounced back in the second game passing, setting and hitting well.
"Devan (Jones) struggled to find her niche in the first game but once she found it she was unstoppable. It was a great come-from-behind win for us. It proves that you can have a bad game and three minutes later have the game of your life if you just keep your head up and work hard."
Jones finished 13-for-15 on hits with nine kills including a bomb to end the third and final match. She also had three blocks and two stuffs.
Haley Thompson was 15-for-17 on hits with eight kills, while Whitney Younger went 15-for-19 with eight kills. Ashley Ferrell finished 11-for-12 on hits with five kills.
Parker Upchurch was 6-for-9 on digs, while Hannah Bartok went 7-for-9 on digs. Younger led the charge, going 10-for-13 and Ferrell finished 6-for-8.
Malayna Douglas was 47-for-49 on sets with 18 assist and Brittany Reynolds was 25-for-27 with 10 assists.
Ferrell served 10 service points and had six aces, while Douglas had 19 service points as well to go along with one ace.
At the junior varsity level, Harrisburg won in three sets, 12-25, 25-7 and 15-14.
The Bulldog freshmen also won in three sets, 27-25, 24-26, 15-8.
Harrisburg is slated to host Norris City-Omaha-Enfield tonight (Wednesday) at Davenport Gymnasium. The Bulldogs will close out the week with a road game at Massac County Thursday night.

Mondor's disease is an uncommon condition of the pectoral region. Fage (2nd reference) first described this condition in 1870, but in 1939 it was characterized by Henry Mondor.
It is a benign condition. (photo credit)
It is manifest by thrombophlebitis of the superifical veins of the thoracic and abdominal walls (lateral thoracic, thoracoepigastric, and superior epigastric veins).
These superficial veins are painful, string-like subcutaneous cords on and around the breast. Occasionally there may be redness along the cord. The cord may be between 3-5 mm in diameter and 5-30 mm in length.
One or more or the above mentioned veins may be involved.
Involvement of the upper inner portions of the breast have never been described.
The etiology is not known.
Female to male ratio is 3:1. Most patients are in the 30-60 yr age range. The incidence rate after open surgical biopsy is less than 1%. Usually unilateral, but may be bilateral.
The condition subsides spontaneously after a few weeks. The time course is reported to be between 2 weeks and a few months. A fibrous cord may be evident for as long as a year.
Back to the etiology:
Most cases have no clear precipitating event and the exact pathogenesis remains unclear. The disease may be intiated by trauma, infection, or surgery. If there is no feasible reason for Mondor's disease (ie recent surgery, infection, use of breast veins for IV drug use), then a mammogram should be done to rule out any cancerous lesions. The coincidence of Mondor's disease and breast cancer has reported to be up to 12 percent in a series of 63 such patients.
Treatment is conservative.
- Local heat application
- Anti-inflammatories
- Reassurance
- In the absence of infection, antibiotic therapy is not warranted

The Modern Music Company first displayed its open for business sign almost 70 years ago. Founded by juke box repair man-cum-restocker Jules Bihari as a means of satisfying increasing demand from his customers for new product, Bihari's label quickly joined a plethora of new independently owned labels that were appearing up and down the west coast of America in the wake of the post-WWII R&B boom. Jules started his operation in a modest manner, with a few boogie piano releases by a beautiful young woman who had become smitten with when he met her by chance in a Los Angeles music store. Those first releases by Hadda Hopgood – whom Bihari renamed Hadda Brooks because he thought it had a more commercial ring– sold far better than he might have imagined. They quickly gave him impetus to bring his brothers into the business and to make a concerted effort to establish Modern as a premium mover-and-shaker in black American music.
"The First Year"' is an all embracing overview of those opening 12 months of the Bihari brothers' label. Although their roster was small, the talent was plentiful and the A and B sides of the dozen 78s featured here proved to be the bud from which the Modern Records empire grew. Small and modest they may have been, and the fi not always as hi as it would later become, but they demonstrate Jules Bihari had ambitions that extended far beyond recording his girlfriend and a few other Central Avenue regulars.
Here are the A's and B's in the order that the 78s were issued. Some of the early records are now extremely rare, and although we have spent a couple of years tracking down the best audio sources we could find, a degree of tolerance will still be necessary at times as the audio isn't always what you have come to expect from Ace's Modern series. Many of the early acetates (which were glass-based) have not survived the passage of time, so dubbing from the issued discs was a necessity. On this occasion we feel that historical importance trumps the ultimate listening experience.
Besides the bewitching Miss Brooks you'll hear be-bop trumpet prince Howard McGhee, multi-instrumentalist George "Happy" Johnson, the ever-so-hip and very cheeky Three Bits Of Rhythm and two fine vocalists whose careers almost began and ended with their Modern recordings, Jesse Perry and Pearl Traylor.
Within a few years of the sessions that produced these pioneering releases, the Modern roster would, at various times, include B B King, Etta James, Johnny "Guitar" Watson, Johnny Otis, Pee Wee Crayton, John Lee Hooker, Richard Berry, Howlin' Wolf, the Jacks/Cadets and a host of other undisputed legends of R&B and rock'n'roll. But everything began for the Modern Music Company with the recordings you hear on this CD. Drop another coin in the 78 juke box slot and get ready to Swing The Boogie!

text: Merran Esson explores the imagery of the industrial detritus that forms part of Australia's rural landscape, focusing in particular on the ubiquitousness of metal water containers, from buckets to water tanks. Corroded, dented, mended and eventually rendered useless and cast aside, their forms remain potent in Esson's translation into ceramic, becoming metaphors for persistence and survival. The awkward junctions in Doubleshot 2, glazed to imitate the verdigris one might find on a disused copper pot, suggest a vessel that has been crudely modified to extend its use or capacity. Its multiple bullet-like piercings also allude to the vandalised fate of many isolated rural signs and metal objects, mute targets of anger and boredom

The Reverse Mortgage Guide
You've probably seen the ads with Henry Winkler or Robert Wagner or even former Senator Fred Thompson, all asking if you've been thinking about a reverse mortgage.
Each of them can send you a free report to help you figure out which reverse mortgage is right for you. The trouble is, that free report comes from a company offering reverse mortgages… so just what do you think their advice will be?
Fortunately, there is independent, unbiased research on reverse mortgages to help you determine if one is right for your personal circumstances, where to turn for additional help, and how to evaluate various programs: it's The Reverse Mortgage Guide, a new report from the team at Miller's Money Forever.
Before considering a reverse mortgage, check out our new report. In its pages you'll find:
- How a reverse mortgage is different from what you probably think it is, and why the number "100" is the most important number to consider… page 5.
- The two types of reverse mortgages that comprise 95% of the market; pick the wrong one and you could have to shell out nearly 50% more in fees without even knowing it… page 6.
- The three questions you must answer before you take on a reverse mortgage; ignore them and you could be trapped in your home forever… page 9.
- The six-part checklist you need to ask your spouse or housemate to see if both of you can actually stay in your home… page 10.
- The risks that come with a reverse mortgage: these are the ones the companies will never tell you about, but they're real… page 13.
- Who's getting a reverse mortgage these days? The answer may surprise you, but it's a reflection of the times… page 19.
- Other realistic options to a reverse mortgage; miss these and you could make mistake you'll never recover from… page 23.
Don't even consider listening to a reverse mortgage pitch until you've had a chance to read through The Reverse Mortgage Guide. Pick up your copy of this special report for only $29 – or FREE with a trial subscription to Miller's Money Forever.

Organ and Tissue Donation
Currently over 90,000 people nationwide are registered on the national waiting list, including approximately 8,000 New Yorkers, for a life-saving organ. Every 14 minutes, another name is added to the list. Nationwide, approximately 16 people die each day waiting for a life-saving organ. A single donor can save the lives of eight people through organ donation and improve the lives of countless others with tissue donation.
What is Donation?
An Organ Procurement Organization (OPO) is an organization designated by the federal government to coordinate the consent and retrieval of donated organs and tissue. The OPO for the five boroughs of New York City, Long Island and the five lower counties of Hudson Valley is the New York Organ Donor Network (NYODN). This network serves 11.8 million people and is the largest OPO in the country. The NYODN is committed to improving the lives of the 89,000 individuals waiting for organs and the countless individuals who benefit from tissue donation. The NYODN works with hospitals, the public and individuals to improve communication and education on this topic. The hospital and NYODN work collaboratively to improve donation rates regionally.

Great look but lacks in build...
"I bought this shoe in champagne last season and it looks FAB! It's also comfy for the first couple wears. However, I have to agree with the other review claiming that your foot slides in the shoe because of the woven fabric of the shoe body (which loosens with wear). Also the insole peels very easily."

Miller Professor of Nursing, Chair of the Nursing Department (740) 284-5822 email@example.com Bio Dr. Carolyn Miller says she knows Franciscan's nursing students "better than they want" her to."I stand by the patients' beds with them, teach them in the classroom, and see them here on campus almost all hours of the day. By the time they're seniors, I know how they think."Miller, who came to Franciscan in 1981, believes her close and constant interaction with the students helps prepare them for the challenges of the healthcare profession. "They need to know they can make a difference," she says. "And they need to be prepared for the ethical dilemmas and challenges they'll face."With years of experience working in schools, hospitals, and home-health care, and also having spent countless hours developing healthcare facilities for the underprivileged in the Ohio Valley, Miller knows those dilemmas intimately. But because of both the academic and spiritual dimensions of their education, Franciscan students, she says, "leave here more than prepared to handle those challenges." Read More Faculty Profiles ›

Kids and adults alike are counting the days until Parker's most prominent summer blowout.
Now in its 36th year, the Parker Days Festival is known for delivering memorable days and nights filled with thrilling rides, exhilarating games, hip-shaking live music, succulent food and plenty of people-watching opportunities.
The 2013 incarnation has all of the attractions of years past, plus a few experimental features. Starting with a carnival sneak preview June 13, Parker Days runs through June 16, taking over O'Brien Park, downtown parking lots, vacant properties and streets.
It's the perfect way for school kids to kick off their summer break, but there is a bit of nostalgia involved for longtime festival-goers. Those who grew up with Parker Days as a seminal part of their summer are now returning with their own kids. Like their parents did, they make sure that the second weekend in June is blocked out, so as not to mistakenly schedule a conflicting family vacation.
Joshua Rivero, a town council member who has lived in Parker for 24 years, describes the atmosphere as that of a "huge neighborhood block party." He runs into old high school friends, visits booths for impulse buys, listens to music and takes in the revelry. The festival has been an anchor for Parker and presents an opportunity to "showcase" the town to outsiders who might be considering a move to a place with a true hometown feel.
Organizers made a few tweaks this year. The KYGO-featured country music act, Tyler Farr, is playing on the main stage on Friday night instead of Saturday. Sara Crowe, event coordinator for Events, Etc., which was contracted by the Parker Chamber of Commerce, said the main music act was moved to Friday to help spread out the crowds. There is already a built-in audience on Saturdays.
Chamber leaders are expecting around 120,000 people, although that number hinges largely on the weather; Crowe is keeping her fingers crossed for "perfect, 82-degree" days and calm nights. The festival is the chamber's largest annual source of revenue, and much of the money comes from alcohol and ticket sales. Additionally, the 2012 Parker Days Festival generated an estimated economic impact of $1.5 million for the downtown district.
Kicking off the festival weekend is the annual parade, which has 73 entries of all kinds this year. It starts at the Parker Arts, Culture and Events Center at 10 a.m. and travels along Mainstreet before following the Victorian Drive loop. The parade will feature mascots from Denver's professional sports teams, royalty from Colorado's pageant circuit, the Chaparral High School band, plus local kids and service organizations.
One-day passes for the carnival are $25 when purchased in advance at www.parkerdaysfestival.com and $30 on site. Mega Passes good for carnival rides all four days cost $60.
Other Parker Days Festival highlights
• Street performers and buskers, including jugglers, fire performers and "live" statues, will again be part of the action.
• Radio Disney will pump out music from the O'Brien Park gazebo from noon to 5 p.m. June 15 and 16.
• The PACE Center will have daytime programming and have five professional chalk artists on hand creating masterpieces.
• More than 100 classic cars will be on display downtown during the Parker Car Fest from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 16.
• Wright Amusements, the longtime contractor for amusement rides, is coming with 45 carnival attractions.
• At various times, four separate stages will host country line dancing, belly dancers and mini game shows.
• Between 350 and 400 volunteers will pitch in to help the festival go smoothly.
• Three recycling bins will be set up, including two near the main stage, and Boy Scout troops will help man the bins to make sure no trash is thrown in them.
• Kids can look forward to the ever-popular swimming pool hamster balls and bounce houses.
• A strongman competition is set for 11 a.m. June 15 near the main stage.


text: Women May Resort to Coat Hanger Abortions, 'But, Hey,' Says Republican Named BubbaErin Gloria Ryan5/15/12 11:50amFiled to: Roe v worldMississippiBubba carpenterphil bryantAnti abortionPro LifeAbortionReproductive RightsWar on WomenBack alley abortionsCoat Hangerstweet183EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Now that Governor Phil Bryant has signed a law requiring every abortion provider to have admitting privileges at a local hospital, the state's only remaining abortion clinic's existence will be threatened when the measure kicks in on July 1. Opponents of the law contend that forcing the clinic to close will make life much more difficult for Mississippi women and may even lead to a regression to dangerous methods like back alley abortions. One brave Republican has chosen to address that concern by acknowledging that yes, desperate pregnant women may end up filleting their uteruses with coat hangers. His response? "But, hey. You have to have moral values." Advertisement The gentleman/scholar responsible for that puzzling set of moral principles is Republican State Representative Bubba Carpenter, who spoke to the Alcorn County GOP on Thursday. In a jaw-droppingly insensitive talk was captured by The Maddow Blog, Carpenter reveals that the intent of Mississippi's new clinic regulations wasn't actually to make women safer at all, but rather to make it impossible to obtain a legal abortion in Mississippi. He said,It's going to be challenged, of course, in the Supreme Court and all — but literally, we stopped abortion in the state of Mississippi, legally, without having to— Roe vs. Wade. So we've done that. I was proud of it. The governor signed it into law. And of course, there you have the other side. They're like, 'Well, the poor pitiful women that can't afford to go out of state are just going to start doing them at home with a coat hanger. That's what we've learned over and over and over.'But hey, you have to have moral values.Translation: we succeeded in passing a law will waste taxpayer money defending legal challenges that it will lose, but its passage shows that we're real dickholes whose "morality" is the stuff of dystopian horror fiction. How can someone call themselves "pro life" with a straight face when they're actually not interested in protecting life at all, but rather punishing women who don't embrace motherhood at every opportunity by either forcing them to be pregnant or end their pregnancies by hiring untrained charlatans to attack their ladyparts like a clogged rain gutter? Advertisement But it gets worse. When asked about the language he used, Carpenter blamed black people. "That was what a lot of our critics on the House floor said during the debate. That was just some language that some of the African-Americans used." Why the race of the critics of Mississippi's abortion ban mattered is something hidden in the mysterious crevices of Bubba Carpenter's enlightened mind.Aside from the fact that Mississippi Republicans essentially lied about being interested in women's safety in the blind pursuit of blocking women's access to health care (which is actually gross, in a "how do you sleep at night?" sort of way) or the fact that Bubba wanted to make it known that he disagreed with certain black people, the real kicker of Carpenter's quote is the "But, hey." Back alley abortions! That's the way the cookie crumbles! That's just a risk we're going to have to take!"Pro life" male politicians who don't care if women resort to coat hangers: because fuck women. And then force them to have the baby.

The nuances, subtleties, and complexities of the human personality have never ceased to fascinate people. In fact, Sigmund Freud thought himself sufficiently fascinating to keep a diary of every dream he could remember for two and a half years in order to analyze himself. If you, also, are drawn to the scientific study of why people do what they do, and how, when, and where they do it, our bachelor's program may be perfect for you. It will prepare you for further professional training in the field, or for rewarding careers where you can use your insight into human behavior.
Choose your concentration.
You'll examine psychology from a number of perspectives, including clinical, cognitive, developmental, personality, physiological, and social. Your studies will take place in many settings, from the family to the laboratory, the clinic to the marketplace.
Beyond your required core courses, you'll choose a concentration:
- Forensic Psychology. If you're interested in exploring the criminal or victim's mind or law enforcement, this concentration is for you. Cross-disciplinary, it incorporates courses from the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Sciences. You'll work toward a career in areas that include investigation, counseling, and human services, as well as stress units of police departments and correctional facilities.
- Community-Clinical Psychology. Choose this concentration if you have a clear, well-defined professional goal in human services.
- General Psychology. Want to use your degree in a specialized area in education, business, or industry? With this concentration, you can tailor your curriculum to your specific career goal.
Broaden your perspective.
When you widen your outlook, you add depth to your skill. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to complete a minor or take electives in other fields. Sociology, political science, management, criminal justice, mathematics, and biology are some of the disciplines that are excellent fits with psychology.
Enjoy the support of a caring and dedicated faculty.
As a small, private university, we can offer you a class size that seldom exceeds 35 students. This means you will get a great deal of individual attention from your instructors. They'll quickly get to know you, your unique strengths, and any areas that need special focus. Approachable both inside and outside of the classroom, our instructors are ready to offer guidance on any concerns you may have — whether they're university-related, life-related, or career-related.
All of our full-time faculty members have earned doctorates from nationally recognized universities. Highly qualified professionals who hold graduate degrees also teach in the program, bringing valuable practitioner, clinical, and industry expertise into the classroom.

"Such a beautiful shoe and seemed very comfortable until I did real walking in them. The main discomfort was in the toes so I would call them slightly narrow but I do have a wide foot. The other problem was blisters on the heel. I'm not sure why that happened."

"I ordered these shoes and was excited to receive them yesterday. The picture does them no justice at all. I ordered a 1/2 size bigger, so glad I did. They fit like a glove. the heel height is great since I love high heels and they are very comfortable to walk in. I will be wearing these to an event next Friday, with an off white dress. You can definitely dress these shoes up or down. They would look great with skinny jeans or even a cute pair of shorts. DSW YOU ROCK!!!"

"Bought this shoe in the snake colour, after already purchasing the purple. The snake runs slightly short, but with a minute of heat with the blow dryer, my feet fit relatively well, remains to be seen how long that will last, and hoping that they stretch a bit over time, as I do love the shoe, and especially the heel!"

Fort Worth, Texas -- RadioShack said Monday its chairman and CEO Julian Day is leaving and announced disappointing fourth-quarter guidance. Day, 57, will retire as chairman, CEO and a director as of its annual shareholder meeting on May 16.
The company brought on former investment banker Day -- best known for pulling Kmart out of bankruptcy -- as chairman and CEO in 2006 to help turn around results.
Since then the company has shifted its focus to smart phones and wireless plans and mobile phone kiosks with some success. But Monday it said "disappointing performance" from its T-Mobile business and a shift in sales toward lower margin handsets hurt results in the fourth quarter.

"What are we trying to accomplish with the meeting?" is the first question that organizations should ask themselves during planning stages, noted Abe Eshkenazi, CSP, CPA, CAE, the CEO of APICS - Association for Operations Management. "Organizations should have a strategy that clearly states how meetings fit into the overall plan." He shared his views at a recent Association Forum SIG meeting entitled "What Your CEO Really Wants from You."
The next questions are "How will we do this?" especially when other departments are involved, and "How will we measure it?" to know if we made an impact.
It's vital to ask "How will we mitigate?" and to have mitigation strategies in place. Eshkenazi emphasized his number one rule – "No surprises." He said that there is no reason for a surprise, which shows that something was missed. "The problem is that a surprise limits your options." Planners can benefit from reaching out to their counterparts at other organizations. He suggested the CASE method – "Copy and Steal Everything." Mitigating surprises before the event can ease on-site management and allow time to handle on-site challenges.
He urged planners to move away from tactics into leadership, suggesting that planners "engage in conversations about what we are trying to do in the organization." He observed that most meeting departments are reactive rather than proactive, and he encourages planners to lead and to "look for opportunities to reframe what you do for the organization (with buy-in from the CEO)." Creativity is also important. "Give yourself the opportunity to do something different. Anyone can repeat from last year."
Eshkenazi remarked that planners "excel at on-site management" and don't receive credit when all goes well. Ask, "What are we doing and what do we want to accomplish?" He stressed the importance of doing a post-mortem after the meeting or event and said that staff should take notes regarding what went right and wrong throughout the event. "Dissect all tactical activities. Making a mistake once is okay; twice is not."
"A CEO shouldn't have to tell you how to do your job regarding leadership and strategy. You have to judge your CEO's style," he concluded.

Another Approach To Projecting Andrew Cogliano
Jonathan Willis
April 29 2009 07:19PM
I read an article on Irreverent Oiler Fans the other day that started me wondering on the offensive potential of Andrew Cogliano. That post worked backwards; looking at NHL impact players and identifying what percentage of them had similar seasons at the same age. What I'm about to do is the opposite; I'll look at players who had similar offensive seasons to Andrew Cogliano and attempt to establish what range of offense he's likely to produce as an NHL'er.
To do this, I'm going to use the "power play" function at Hockey Reference, which allows searches based on certain criteria. Let's take a quick look at Cogliano's season before we decide on our criteria.
Cogliano: 82GP – 18G – 20A – 38PTS, -6 (.46 PTS/GM)
I've decided to do a search of seasons by 21-year olds with the following requirements:
- Must have occurred within the past ten years
- Must have recorded between .37 and .55 PTS/GM (20% variance in either direction)
- Must have appeared in a minimum of 50 games
- Must have been the player's second NHL season
I got back a field of sixteen possible seasons (including Cogliano). Three of those occurred this season – Martin Hanzal and Sergei Kostitsyn, so those were eliminated. I also eliminated Milan Michalek, Brandon Dubinsky and David Krejci, since their first NHL seasons consisted of less than ten games. Here's the remaining field:
- Corey Perry: 0.54 PTS/GM (2007)
- Mike Richards: 0.54 PTS/GM (2007)
- Steve Bernier: 0.50 PTS/GM (2007)
- Maxim Afinogenov: 0.46 PTS/GM (2001)
- Radim Vrbata: 0.46 PTS/GM (2003)
- Henrik Sedin: 0.44 PTS/GM (2002)
- Daniel Sedin: 0.41 PTS/GM (2002)
- Rostislav Olesz: 0.40 PTS/GM (2007)
- Josef Vasicek: 0.40 PTS/GM (2002)
That gives us nine possible comparables. We should also look at how those players performed in their first and third seasons. The first season is to compare to Cogliano's for closeness, and the third to show the range of production we should expect from Cogliano next year. First, here's Cogliano's rookie year:
Cogliano: 82GP – 18G – 27A – 45PTS, +1 (.55 PTS/GM)
Here's how the list stacks up:
- Name | First Season | Third Season |
- Mike Richards | .43 PTS/GM | 1.03 PTS/GM
- Corey Perry | .45 PTS/GM | .77 PTS/GM
- Josef Vasicek | .40 PTS/GM | .55 PTS/GM
- Henrik Sedin | .35 PTS/GM | .50 PTS/GM
- Maxim Afinogenov | .52 PTS/GM | .49 PTS/GM
- Rostislav Olesz | .36 PTS/GM | .46 PTS/GM
- Steve Bernier | .69 PTS/GM | .42 PTS/GM
- Daniel Sedin | .45 PTS/GM | .39 PTS/GM
- Radim Vrbata | .58 PTS/GM | .31 PTS/GM
Two players took massive steps forward in their third season (Richards, Perry) while one took a massive step back (Vrbata). That direction has so far shown which way their careers have gone – the players taking big steps forward are now legitimate first-liners, while Vrbata has had one good season since but is not currently playing in the NHL. The other six fluctuated slightly up or down. Of that group of six, three (Vasicek, Olesz, Bernier) are either complementary players or look to be heading in that direction, while the other three (Sedin, Afinogenov, Sedin) have been or are first-line players.
One thing that I find particularly surprising is the way this group clusters – a player is either at one end of it or the other. So what does this mean for Andrew Cogliano? I'd suggest that while we can't draw many definite conclusions, there is one in particular that is important: Cogliano's performance to date does not preclude him from becoming an offensive difference maker.
While I have repeatedly suggested that Andrew Cogliano may be useful trade bait given that he is a quality player with attributes (small size, youth, offensive ability) the Oilers have in plenty, this list makes me a little more hesitant to trade him. I've been projecting Cogliano all along as topping out as a second-tier offensive talent, and the fact that multiple players (better than half the sample: Richards, Perry, Sedin, Sedin, Afinogenov) went on to have a high-end offensive game makes me reconsider that projection. It may very well be that Andrew Cogliano has greater offensive talent than he's been given credit for to date.

I think realistically he can score at least 25 goals in a second line role next year, assuming he gets the PP time.
I think you're expecting too much. To play on the second line Cogliano would most likely have to adapt to playing back on the wing. That would probably have a negative effect on his totals. Even if he could play second line center; to score 25 goals Coglino would have to: a)Maintain his current shooting percentage. b)Increase his shot total by 70% with only a few extra minutes of ice time a night.
April 30 2009, 03:09PM
160 shots is all he needs to score 25, based on this year's Shooting %, which is only an increase of 40% not 70%.
I think you're underestimating the difference quality of teammates and ice time makes.
However, I will admit that switching from Centre to Wing might be his biggest hurdle next season.
Archaeologuy wrote:

My math was wrong regarding the 70%. I do agree Cogliano needs at LEAST 160 shots to score 25 goals. To go from 98 shots, to 116 shots, to 160 shots seems like a dramatic increase. Also having higher quality linemates, means Cogliano would skate against higher quality opposition... Don't underestimate the difference THAT makes.
April 30 2009, 08:24PM
A few random players:
Zajac shots/game went
1.7 1.9 2.3
3 3.3 4.5
M Koivu
2 2.5 3
M Richards
2.2 2.9 3
1.9 2.5 2.6
Over the last 3 years.
It seems pretty clear that as guys roles expand, theirs a pretty good chance that they will take more shots.... sure some probably don't, but to place that, of all things, as the big hurdle to his success??
